Guild Watch MentionPublished May 28, 2009 Off Topic , World of Warcraft Leave a Comment
My guild Initech was mentioned in WoW Insider….err…I mean WoW.com again (previously here).
Under their Guild Watch post, someone "advised" WoW.com about someone leaving.
There no denying this person left but I find it hilarious that someone is holding a grudge to get WoW.com attentions in hopes to stir up drama. But this person does not realize we have put the drama behind us.
Ah well at least my guild was mentioned again. I guess bad publicity is still publicity…
Divine Plea Bugged?Published May 24, 2009 World of Warcraft 8 Comments
It appears Divine Plea no longer last 15 seconds. The spell will refresh with every successful hit. If you are not careful the spell will last the entire fight. This will put some labor on the healer.
Until this has been corrected, I would suggest to use Divine Plea before or after a fight.
Paladins Should Offtank Ulduar 10-man.Published May 21, 2009 Uncategorized 3 Comments
I have experience the first half of Ulduar 10-man (excluding The Assembly of Iron) and notice one thing, a lot of adds appear during the boss fights. Is this Blizzard subtle way of saying, you may want a paladin to offtank the adds. Then your fight will be easier.
Think about it. Numerous adds will appear during the boss fight and must be killed asap. A paladin has better abilities to quickly hold the adds at bay while the DPS kills when no issues of anyone pulling aggro.
For example: Razorscale has adds appear when the boss in-flight. If a paladin offtanks all of the adds, it allows the DPS to focus on one tank while the maintank can worry about the Sentinel (if they appear) and the boss.
I am not trying to discourage groups not to use other tanks (Warrior, DK and Druids) but if an encounter is difficult and the adds are too much a paladin is your best choice to AoE Tank.
Upcoming Paladin Changes in 3.1.2Published May 19, 2009 Uncategorized 2 Comments
Blessing of Wisdom and Greater Blessing of Wisdom: Now grant 92 mana per 5 seconds to prevent being overwritten by Mana Spring Totem.
Exorcism: Can no longer be used on player-controlled creatures.
Divine Sacrifice: Damage done to the Paladin while this is active will no longer cause the effect to break early, and if it is dispelled or canceled early, the damage counter will reset correctly the next time the spell is cast.
Wintergrasp Changes 3.1.2 PTRPublished May 12, 2009 PVP , World of Warcraft 1 Comment
I normally don't like to bring up PTR changes but one struck my eye and tear began to form.
"All Lake Wintergrasp daily quests have been changed to a weekly format. The honor and Stone Keeper's Shards rewarded for completing these quests have been increased to compensate."
I completely understand the reasoning behind the change (ie help reduce the lag) but Blizzard is underestimating the player-base. A lot of players (including myself) will still participate in Wintergrasp even when the "weekly" quests have been completed. The honor is too great to ignore, the rewards are quite good and the event is fun.
I personally believe Blizzard should change the way the tower work and make it a necessity to win the battle. This will ensure the players are not conjugated in one central location.

With Boeing celebrating its 100th birthday/anniversary this month, I do expect that Boeing will announce customers whose orders have already been booked and are listed as unidentified.
In terms of 787 I believe that Boeing will reveal unidentified Chinese customers for the 787-9 at Farnborough. These customers include Hainan Airlines (30), China Eastern Airlines (15), and Xiamen Airlines (4).
Other potential 787 orders that maybe revealed at Farnborough include Qatar's exercise of 30 787 options. Bloomberg also is reporting that TUI will be ordering more 787 which I suspect will be 10 787-9s. I am hoping for surprise orders from new customers but I suspect that a lot of attention will be on the 737 orders, potential 747-8F order with Volga-Dnepr for 20 aircraft and talks about a 777-10X and middle of the market (MoM) aircraft
We will know more starting tomorrow morning.

The next year was an off harvest. Our tree produces every other year.
So this year was THE year, baby.
I would have Pecan Pie Turnovers w/ Cane Syrup Whipped Cream.
I had convinced myself that my usual pecan pie filling would be fine for turnovers. Juuuuuust fine.
After stirring the filling together, it was beyond obvious. Too runny to fold pie crust around it.
So I grabbed some muffin tins (after pitching a big ole hissy fit, of course) and started digging through cabinets to find a glass that would cut the right size circles.
I'm certain another hissy fit was thrown at some point.
After 2 years, I was going to have cute little pies.
Believe you me.
|Don't overfill like I did.
All that time spent fussing over the filling and the size of the pie.
When it's really the whipped cream that mattered.
The whipped cream is flavored with Steen's Pure Cane Syrup.
I thought it made sense to put it on top of pecan pie.
Sugarcane and pecans are both are harvested this time of year.
Print It!
Mini Pecan Pies with Cane Syrup Whipped Cream
1/2 stick butter (4 TBSP)
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup Karo syrup
1/4 cup Steen's Pure Cane Syrup
2 cups pecan halves
2 refrigerated pie crusts
whipped cream:
3 TBSP Steen's Pure Cane Syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each. Add the salt, vanilla, and both syrups. Mix well. Stir in the pecans.
Cut the pie crusts into 4-4 1/2" diameter circles. If you roll out the scraps from the pie crust twice, you should be able to get 14 mini pies.
Place pie crust circles in muffin tins. Fill with about 1/8 of a cup of filling. Don't overfill or the pies will stick. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
While the pies cool, mix together the cane syrup, vanilla, and whipping cream. Start on low speed, gradually increasing to high as the mixture thickens. Beat until soft peaks form.
Top each pie with a spoon of the whipped cream. Drizzle extra cane syrup over the top (optional).

text: 1 As children, most of us learn that winning isn't everything and that we need to be gracious regardless. It can be hard to understand how to express oneself in a gracious way after any competition. It can be especially hard if someone who is held with high regard or is seen as an authority figure encourages bad behavior. When that person throws insults at people who he dislikes or who challenge him, you insult them to appease him. When he says he wants someone punched in the face, you might actually punch them in the face. When that person tells a group that he will pay their legal fees if they hurt someone for him, you might think he will have your back if you do something illegal. People don't always behave rationally when egged on by their idol. After Donald Trump lost in Utah, his fanbase immediately started talking about how Mormons conspired to make him lose the state. Tonight, a more prominent Trump fan started stirring that pot by pontificating about why a Mormon state like Utah would turn its back on Trump & vote for Ted Cruz. This was all other fans needed to see to begin their anti-Mormon tweets. I saw one in particular who felt the need to suggest Mormons are child molesters. He was talking about the FLDS1 cult and I pointed this out. At first, he seemed to be interested in learning the differences. I thought that maybe he was a confused, but decent person. I. Was. Wrong. I was so very wrong. I understand politics can bring out passionate reactions in some, but that doesn't excuse this. Nothing can. Being me, of course I blamed myself at first. You see, I was on a Twitter account I had created to show that Trump is not really distinguishable from certain public figures and fictional characters. It was a bit of entertainment for me. So my thought as I read that I deserved "to be raped by several men for God" was that I had brought this on myself. Luckily, that thought was quickly discarded as I remembered that I was not the one making a threat or encouraging the threats. I mainly blame this user. I also blame Donald Trump. I blame every person who has amplified Trump's hateful rhetoric. I blame people who don't challenge Trump. I blame the people who look the other way on the threats and violence by Trump supporters. We haven't randomly gotten to a point where these threats are made. This has been building since Trump announced his candidacy. Maybe even before that. But it has to stop. Trump's threat of riots if he isn't nominated will likely come true. If people like this guy are inspired by Trump, we are in a world of hurt. No matter whether he gets the nomination or wins in November, the hate in the hearts of people like this user has been awakened. And it won't just go away. It doesn't help that many turn a blind eye to these threats of retribution. I asked in an LDS group on Facebook for people with Twitter accounts to report this user.2 Well, a user seemed to think this was an odd request.3 I explained my reasoning & pointed out that this isn't just some random rude comment about or to a single person. This person is threatening millions of people. That's a big deal. Donald Trump needs to get it across to his followers that they should behave like adults. I guess he will have to learn how to act like one first, though. He needs to say the threats and violence should stop, but then he'd have to stop inciting both. Americans need to work together to stop this hateboner crowd from completely demolishing this country, its laws, and its freedoms. There is no excuse for allowing Trump or his followers to continue to encourage hatred & violence. There is no excuse for a candidate who inspires his followers to threaten rape or murder. Speak up and speak out to end this retribution game. Photo credit: ♥ ella minnow peas ♥ via Visual Hunt / CC BY-SA The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ↩I know that Twitter sometimes acts more quickly on threats and abuse if multiple people report the behavior. ↩Even if the threats are just some random asshole being an asshole, the first response to these threats should not be, "Well, what do you expect me to do about this?" It should be obvious what you should do. ↩ Retribution: Win Or Lose24 Mar, 2016 in Internet tagged Abuse / Donald Trump / Hate / Mormon / Rape & Rape Culture / Religion / Twitter / Violence by Janet Morris (updated on March 24, 2016)

Twenty-seven legendary golf holes are within driving distance.
Most of us have only seen these glorious golf holes on television during professional tour events. But did you know that these same legendary holes are in your own backyard? International World Tour Golf Links gives you the opportunity to play golf in a Grand Strand setting.
The course features 27 holes that are modeled after famous holes from 23 courses in six countries and 10 states. Among the courses represented are St. Andrews, Augusta National, Pinehurst No. 2, TPC Sawgrass, Winged Foot, Olympic Club, Oakmont Country Club, and Baltusrol.
More than one million cubic yards of dirt were moved to authentically recreate the features and hazards of the 27 holes, and they all combine for a fun and memorable round. The holes are broken into three, nine-hole layouts—the Open, Championship, and International nine. The course's length is respectable, with the longest eighteen-hole combination playing about 6,688 yards.
You can test your skills on the holes the masters have played for decades: Augusta National's Amen Corner; the eighteenth hole at St. Andrews, complete with its trademark stone bridge; even Inverness No. 18 of Scotland, which Jack Nicklaus dubbed "the hardest hole I ever played!"
With twenty-seven of the world's most legendary golf holes represented, this Myrtle Beach course promises a trip around the golf world all within the
843 area code!

Thank you. After seeing your Scourge that's pretty high praise.
I like the "softness" (no idea what to call it) of your color choices - distinct colors but with a soft blending effect. Nice
The blending effect is actually the last layer being a little uneven. VMA Sand over VMA Medium Sea Grey goes slightly green for some reason (not that I'm complaining, it's just hard to patch over).
I dunno what to call it either; colour tone? saturation? hue? level?
As far as bases go - I think the clear bases are a good compromise between stability, optics and game mechanics.
My thoughts as well. I wanted them to be as unobtrusive as possible, which is why I went for the 1.5mm thick instead of the 3mm.
I once borrowed an army that was based on the typical round "Space Marines" bases. Too high, ugly and you had trouble positioning the units next to each other.
The horror… the horror!

Installing 32 bit libraries on Ubuntu 14
Today I installed 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit Ubuntu to get Xojo app running.
here a list of steps I made, which you may need to do also:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libicu52:i386
This installs a lot of libraries and after that my apps launch!
The ldd command helps to identify which libraries an executable or library file requires.

A business executive offers pithy advice on self-improvement.
Goodman (The Road to Self, 2015), aka "the soulful CEO," provides an introspective collection of 56 personal quotes about life. Complete with an attached ribbon bookmark, this hodgepodge of reflections seeks to inspire and promote deep thought for self-improvement: "Life is a mirror; we will attract whatever we are." Similar to greeting-card sentiments, each short passage is presented on its own page, which makes for quick, convenient skimming. In addition, whimsical silver leaf designs decorate the pages. Goodman is the chairman of the Goodman Group, which deals with commercial properties, residential and senior living communities, and health care centers. He covers varied topics in this book—letting go of the past, achieving happiness and success, accepting death as a natural part of life. The upbeat expressions are generally appealing (for example, "A desire to live more joyfully is reason enough to be forgiving of others"). Some of the quotes have a business or career tone: "You can succeed at any moment, in any place, when you're willing to let go of the past, the desire for control, and the notion that everything must be done the way you've always done it." Others evoke a New Age feel: "We must come home to ourselves, accept ourselves as being enough, and get in touch with that God-like energy in each of us." Though heartfelt, some of Goodman's quotes are motivational clichés: "If you believe it, you can be it. Believing that you can do something is your first step toward accomplishing it." It is probably best to read the volume in small daily doses, as several of the trite passages become eye-glazing and lose impact when perused one after the other. For example, Goodman echoes an often quoted sentiment: "We can't necessarily change events, but we can certainly change how we respond to them." The author's observations are more memorable when his language turns poetic ("In frailty and vulnerability, we shine"). But he does offer worthy advice. Among other things, he recommends improving oneself to enhance relationships. He also emphasizes love and respect for others. The positive tone of this little bit of inspiration is both joyful and undeniable.
Sweet, well-intentioned snippets of wisdom for book browsers.

THE DOOM OF TRADITIONAL ELECTRIC UTILITIES' BUSINESS MODEL IN LIGHT OF ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION (DG) SCALE UP: A NEW VISION BASED ON HOMEOSTATICITY OF ENERGY SYSTEMSName : Dr. Fernando Yanine
Affliation : Researcher
University : Universidad Finis Terrae
Country : Chile
Today's electrical energy generation and distribution systems are being faced with a number of issues, from violent weather phenomena to earthquakes and landslides, including acts of arson, terrorism and vandalism. All these are grave concerns threatening our traditional electric power infrastructure, stemming from both environmental as well as operational and societal issues. Therefore, electric utilities are required to account for such threats and concerns proactively, and to plan ahead in order to respond to such challenges rapidly and effectively so as to preserve stability and continuity of operations. This is the true measure of what sustainable energy systems (SES) are and homeostaticity of energy systems seeks just that: to bring about a rapid, effective and optimally efficient state of equilibrium between energy supply and energy expenditure at all times, whatever the circumstances, so as to preserve electric power systems' (EPS) operation. We present a prescriptive homeostaticity model for controlling utility-operated microgrids and the theoretical groundwork underlying the subject. The paper explains how the engineering of homeostaticity in SES works and how it can be done, wherein reactive and predictive homeostasis, acting concomitantly, play a key role in the systems dynamics, namely the grid-tied microgrid, the Grid and the energy consumers. Reactive homeostasis (RH) is an immediate response of the energy system to a homeostatic stress or perturbation, such as energy deprivation or shortage or an energy imbalance. RH entails feedback mechanisms which enable a reactive compensation when the need arises, reestablishing homeostaticity in the system. Predictive homeostasis (PH), on the other hand, anticipates the events that are likely to occur, enabling SES to respond early and proactively to environmental challenges or other concerns by foreseeing when these will most likely occur, thus adjusting the energy and power management to maintain sustainability. Major aspects of the model and simulation are shown which present interesting results.
Dr. Fernando Yanine is a professional engineer, researcher, and academician at the Faculty of Engineering of Universidad Finis Terrae and the MBA of Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (UTFSM). He is also an industry consultant for several companies. Fernando received his M.Sc. and Sc.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (PUC) in March 2014; and also holds B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso, USA (May 1988), a Bachelor of Science and Professional Civil-Industrial Engineer's title from Universidad Arturo Prat at Iquique, Chile, UNAP (2006), and M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from University of Santiago de Chile, USACH (1997).His research interests and projects include homeostatic control of sustainable energy systems, energy and environmental sustainability, energy poverty, service engineering, homeostaticity in high performance systems and Industrial Organization & Management.

So you have a long-term project and you have crafted a really good search query for the project. Bloomberg/LexisAdvance/WestlawNext all have an "Alert" feature that permits you to save your query, set to run on a specified schedule, and send you an email when there are new search results or even if there are no results.
Alerts are an excellent way to track and update case law, pending legislation, news, dockets, or just about anything you can think to track. Bloomberg/LexisAdvance/WestlawNext all make it easy to set and manage alerts. In fact remembering to delete an alert when the need for it is finished may be the hardest part.

Gesture supports the greatest range of postures in three ways: through the back, the seat and the arms. With 3D LiveBack, Gesture changes shape and mimics the natural motion of the spine contouring to the user, creating the deepest recline. Adaptive bolstering allows Gesture's seat to contour to the size of any user providing customized comfort.
Range of Users
Range of Users
Greater Range of Users
We know that today's workplace has to accommodate a wide range of users sizes. Most chairs are only designed to fit one person: the average.
Gesture solves for the broadest range of sizes. Whether large or small, Gesture promises personalized and custom comfort for all users in one simple solution, all while utilizing a minimal footprint.
Until now, headrests have largely been an afterthought, but the Gesture headrest is integrated into the design. The design of the Gesture headrest takes into consideration features such as factors head size, neck length and desired range of motion to support a greater range of user sizes.
Through this intentional design, the Gesture headrest not only provides comfort and support, but also offers an unprecedented range of motion. This results in more choice and control over work postures.
Gesture headrest range of motion:
- 5-inch range of height adjustment
- 4 inches of forward and backward pivot movement
- 90° of rotation
Global Posture Study
Global Posture Study
To best understand the body at work, we undertook a global posture study on six continents, observing over 2,000 people in a wide range of postures.
We discovered that new technologies combined with new behaviors led to nine new postures that are not adequately addressed by current seating solutions.
What We Learned
We see work being done in a greater range of spaces within the office. We're spending equal amounts of time at our desk as we are in collaborative spaces. We're sharing desks, where one day a larger person might be using a chair and the next day a much smaller person.
How might we solve for multiple users sitting in multiple spaces throughout a day?

Sedgwick County Soccer Association: About Us
A non-profit organization, Sedgwick County Soccer Association (SCSA) was founded in June of 1991 by a small group of soccer enthusiasts who were interested in merging KJSF and WUSA into a unified soccer league. Today, we have over 200 teams that involve over 3,000 players, 400 coaches and many fans including parents & grandparents. Each weekend, SCSA competition brings out an average of 2,000 people to our 60-acre sports complex in south Wichita. Most teams come from the Wichita area, however some travel from communities such as Hutchinson, Salina, Newton, Derby & Hays to compete.
The primary purpose of SCSA is to provide opportunities to enable youth players, ages 4-19, to realize their potential in the game of soccer by developing their skills and knowledge to the greatest extent possible. Our goals include:
- Providing a safe environment in the highest quality and best-organized league possible.
- Encouraging teams to participate in competitive play against teams from other areas through tournaments.
- Help prepare individual players for higher-level competition, including high school, college and state team play.
- Encourage development of soccer by sponsoring referee and coaching certification clinics to help upgrade the local skill level in these areas.
SCSA coaches strive to develop the child's appreciation of the game and aim to keep winning and losing in proper perspective. Being sensitive to each child's developmental needs, we educate the players to the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological demands of the game for their level. Rules are introduced and equipment modified according to the players' age group. Players are allowed to experience all positions. Having fun and hearing positive feedback are a big part of the experience on an SCSA team.
SCSA offers a Fall Season (August — October) and a Spring Season (March—May.) Opportunities for both recreational and competitive players exist. Those who wish to play in a recreational setting are placed on appropriate teams. Competitive teams are available for ages U9-U19. Competitive players are chosen by the coaches, usually by tryouts.
Games are played at Southlakes Soccer Complex at 47th & Meridian in Wichita. We have 22 fields, paved parking, on-site concessions and restroom facilities. Games are played on Saturdays & Sundays. Many families have more than one child participating in SCSA soccer and enjoy spending their weekend time at our fields and in the surrounding area.
SCSA is governed by a 7-member board of directors, all volunteers. The majority of coaches for our teams are also volunteers and are usually the parent of a child on the team. Training and licensing are strongly encouraged. Coaching clinics are offered periodically by SCSA through Kansas Youth Soccer. Referees are USYS certified.

A police sergeant from Maine has sworn to serve, protect — and if necessary, cook for his community.
Cumberland police officials said Sgt. Thomas Burgess checked on an elderly man Tuesday. When he discovered that the man was low on food and had not eaten that day, the law enforcement veteran swapped his police cap for a chef's hat.
RELATED: Cop helps elderly man who needed ID to make bank withdrawal
Burgess delivered groceries to the man and then cooked him dinner, WGME reported.
"Thank you for everything you do Sergeant, day in and day out to make our community a better place to live," Cumberland police wrote on Facebook. In a later comment on social media, the department added that Burgess did the dishes, started a load of laundry and took out the trash.
The original Facebook post has been liked more than 5,100 times and has been shared nearly 800 times.

Earlier this month, an agreement between Uruguay and Brazil was signed, which will allow their citizens to be granted permanent visas on both sides without a prior period of temporary residency. This will come into effect after 30 days of the ratification by each country's government.
Under this new agreement, Uruguayan and Brazilian applicants for permanent residency must present a personal ID i.e a valid passport, ID card, and nationality certificate issued by the consular authority of the home country. They must also provide a certificate or personal statement of absence of criminal record in the home country or the residence countries in the five years prior to relocation to the target country, and an international personal statement with a similar clearance.
In Brazil the residency permit will be granted by the Justice Ministry, and by the National Migration Directorate in Uruguay.
The application fee will be waived and the visas will give the holders the right to work in Uruguay or Brazil under the same conditions as locals.
The new agreement has been seen to increase bilateral trade between the two countries which has increased 30% in the first quarter of 2017, and totalled $4bn in 2016.
Our Advice
Uruguayans and Brazilians will need to wait until 30 days after the agreement has been ratified in both parliaments before applying for permanent residence without the current prerequisite for temporary residence. Newland Chase will keep a close eye on the situation and update our readers when the agreement is in place.
If you require further information or advice on Brazilian or Uruguayan immigration, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shuttleworth Says Linux is a Joke - page 2
That's So Beary Punny
But wait. There's more. Something that's also generating a lot of interest at the moment is the idea of internal clouds that companies run for themselves, perhaps because they have sensitive information they don't want leaving their own data centers. There are commercial solutions, such as those offered by Cassatt, which offer everything from an automated powering on and off service for servers in a data center right up to fully automatic deployment (and bringing down) of server images on physical machines in multiple data centers (or even machines in Amazon's cloud).
To tap into this, Shuttleworth enthuses about Ubuntu integration with the Eucalyptus, an open source project that provides internal cloud type functionality. "... during the Karmic cycle we expect to make those clouds dance, with dynamically growing and shrinking resource allocations depending on your needs," he promises.
Perhaps he should call it cloud control(!)
If all this cloud talk sounds nebulous (his pun, not mine) then Shuttleworth promises to reveal the full feature set at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in May in sunny Barcelona.
It's not altogether surprising Shuttleworth is making Ubuntu announcements with a song, a dance and a merry jape: It's easy to sell your operating system in difficult economic times when the price is free. But when your OS runs only on overpriced hardware? Not so much.
That's certainly what Apple is discovering, now that the market has gone sour. Sales of Mac units dropped 6 percent in January, compared to the same period a year ago, with an 11 percent decline in product revenue, according to research from NPD Group. "To some extent, Apple has been struggling in the last few months ��� there were some issues with overall pricing problems during the holidays and afterward," NPD vice president Stephen Baker said.
Overall, thanks to the recession, the contrast between Ubuntu and Apple couldn't be starker. For Linux, the future looks peachy. For Apple, it's beginning to go pear shaped. If you'll pardon the pun.

As a writer, I sit down in front of my laptop and tap away. I usually have a clear idea where the story is going. Most of the time, the hardest thing I have to deal with is drinking my tea before it gets cold and keeping the cat off my keyboard.
But that was before Bobby. I'm writing my second book in the Pink Sneakers series, and I plotted for Princess Ally to be the heroine. It was in the back of my mind even as I wrote book 1, Pink Sneakers in Space. But sometimes things don't turn out as you plan.
Bobby the Blobarian tromps on the scene and takes over. He is an impish boy from Nebia IV who takes my words and rearranges them. I have no say in the matter. Bobby is determined to meet the Earthling that defeated his dad in the video game, Cyber Ice and nothing will stop him from getting a pair of pink sneakers.
I've talked to some of my writer friends about this phenomenon and they laughed because it has happened to them too. Even with an outline, stories still have a way of running amuck and not turning out as planned. So what do you do? Absolutely nothing. One thing I've learned is you can't stop your characters once they are set in motion. I never know where they'll lead me. It's what makes writing so exciting and addicting. Try it sometime. You'll be surprised not every road leads down the expected path. Sometimes you end up in Oz.

Swoon. Prologue have uploaded samples for a new EP by our favourite lady in techno, Cio D'Or.
PRG022 - Cio D´Or - Magnetfluss EP by Prologue
Cio is amazing, both in terms of her production and DJing ability. Every EP she puts out is on the money, great slabs of deep house and techno, and by the sounds of the samples this is no different. September 22 is the release date, so you can safely expect to hear something off it at our next event
Until then, keep working!

I went to the fabuluous CodeConf 2011 (view slides, recaps here, here, and here) and the first talk was "Tinker Fairy" Dr. Nic telling us to build tools to do stuff that we don't want to remember later. Then build tools to build those tools — tool tools.
One of the neat modern takes on Lisp s-expressions in modern virtual machines like the CLR is Reflection. At least, I think that it will be useful in reversing Lisp macros and expressions into the F#/OCAML equivalents.
Dr. Jon Harrop gives a terse but informative example in his book Visual F# 2010 for Technical Computing.
First, we want a union type which represents (i.e. abstracts away) the F# type system:
Next, we want a (recursive) function (called, straightforwardly enough,
type_of) that reflects (using FSharpType) and translates a given
System.Type object into one of the
'a ty union types defined previously:
This then allows us to emit the following two liner which can parse objects such as the List.fold function! (Note: everything after the ;; is the F# Interactive response.)
Neat stuff! I've a thousand or two lines of Lisp to look at, so this is not something I want to have to remember later.

I told myself that I would not have any obligation to post everyday during this 30 day challenge, and I'm glad about it. I went to a conference this past weekend (Friday & Saturday) in Seattle. I was pleasantly surprised, because my expectations were very low. I went prepared, while carrying around my little strawberry tote bag everywhere, which was loaded with Paleo supplies (celery sticks, nuts, apple slices, hazelnut butter, etc). I also discovered that club soda is not nearly as awful when your taste buds have been devoid of sugar. In fact, the soda water was AMAZING!
It also must be said that I still miss chocolate, red wine, and ice cream doesn't sound too bad. However, despite those non-L&G foods, I think I could see making this as part of our lifestyle. Not necessarily 100%, but in the high percentages. I will let you know about next week, because I'm told that come third week--your body feels better than good. The downside to the challenge during this second week is how my performance at the gym has been low. When running--my legs feel like lead. When lifting--my arms feel like noodles. I'm hoping week three will be better than good.
This salad is probably my go to salad. My friend Jessica fell in love with it that she went out to get the ingredients that day. And you can easily make it Paleo by nixing the blue cheese (just make sure the cranberries don't have sugar with them).
A Year Ago: Roasting Pumpkin
Harvest Salad (printable recipe)
Head of lettuce (romaine, red leaf, green leaf), washed, dried, & torn into bite sized pieces
1 apple (Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, whatever you want--just not Red Delicious)
1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, Roquefort
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tb mustard (regular or dijon)
1 tsp dried basil (crunch it in your hands to release the oils)
Directions: Pretty straightforward, put the washed/torn lettuce into a big bowl. Sprinkle the nuts, dried cranberries, & blue cheese on the lettuce.
In a bowl or glass measuring cup, add extra virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Add the mustard and whisk together. It should start to combine. Add the basil. No need to pour all of it on the salad, but start small and mix to combine. If you need a bit more, then add it:)

I have really long toes too. Sometimes the hubs likes to pick on me by trying to hold my foot and pretend like he thought it was my hand. He thinkgs it's hilarious.ReplyDelete
I'd totally forgotten about those trolls! That was a flashback. :P And everyone should tell their 16 year old selves to respect their parents more. Great one. I enjoyed getting to know you better! :)ReplyDelete
I also have very long toes. And the Troll Doll costume would have been awesome. I forgot about those guys. I used to have an obsession with collecting them back in elem. schoolReplyDelete

I have not been touching Upon My Word for a long time. I had been busy baking and Charm Bakes is well updated now. I have been more actively baking after I gave birth and after of course after I got myself a helper.
Motherhood has been nothing but blessed. I understood the joy of all mothers the moment we help the first baby in their arms. I was at the highest peak of my life and everything else of me would evolve around her.
On 23rd July 2011, I gave birth to my first baby girl. She was born 50 cm long weighing 3.53 kg, right on the estimated delivery date.
We named her Hadya ( meaning : Guide to Righteousness )
Her name was not just picked randomly. I specifically wanted a short name. Hearing all those babies with long names was just not my preference. I wanted her name as short as possible, as meaningful as it can be and may she be the person as how her name was meant for. Layla was my first choice but Hadya just caught my attention like love at first sight.
She was my guide. My guide that I want to do better in life not just being a mother but a better person worth living.
It used to be just the 2 of us against the world and now its 3. Hubby and I had never been happier. Waking up to see her smile, get panic when she cried, fed her when she's hungry and bought toys that caught her attention. It's a learning process for all 3 of us. Hubby learnt how to carry and care for a baby, being a good father, I'm learning how to be a good mother and Hadya, learning all the new things in life.
What more could we ask for [ other than having another baby to complete the family package :) ] ?
Pictures of Hadya from 0 to 5 months.
She grew beautifully and still growing.
Many asked, who does her features come from. I would say - Both of us. She was fair, she had both our features equally.
I love everything about her! Which mother doesnt?
She is 5 months and 2 weeks now. Active and squeaky.
My dearest daughter Hadya Binte Haidar Khan Surattee,
I will always recall the momentous day you were born, I became the happiest mother on earth. Your father and I marveled at the angel kisses on your cheeks, your tiny, wrinkled fingers and your intense eyes. I'm not embarrassed to admit it, but I cried. Deep tears of joy. Because all my life the one thing I always knew was I wanted to be a mother. Other than that I was often rudderless, trying to navigate the ocean of life and figure out what my path in life was to be. But I never wavered in my hope to be a mother. So when you were born you will be giving me the experience of a lifetime. The experience that holds the deepest most treasured place in my heart.
Your are indeed my 'Hadya ( 'Gift' in Malay translation ). Gift from Allah.

This is the third time I have had the pleasure of photographing family portraits in Maui for the Burnett family! I always love seeing my clients year after year and seeing how the kids and family grow. This family is so fun to be around, the sheer joy they feel with their family on vacation is evident to me and I am sure everyone who views these photos! I love that they brought some fun props for the kids like the pineapples and huge starfish, it really added an element of fun and whimsy to the photos! We were lucky to get an amazing day at DT Fleming beach and after the posed photos, we let the kids loose to play and have fun. Mahalo Burnett family for choosing me again, it is an honor to be included in your annual Maui vacation!!

|Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner's beauty was insane. INSANE. Labeled "the Love Goddess" by the Hollywood publicity machine, the title was both an accurate description of the sensual feelings she inspired (merely by purring) and an equal misnomer, considering the reality of her romantic life. Ava was far from the dynamic seductress she would become as a Hollywood star. Growing up an impoverished tomboy in North Carolina, she became a surprise beauty queen when a talent scout spotted her picture in her brother-in-law's shop window. What followed was an uncomfortable for her, yet extraordinary for us, ascent as one of the most beautiful women in cinematic history.
However, Ava was far more than her luscious extremities. A down-to-earth, unpretentious, accidental femme fatale, her persona would be turned upside down through her progression in Hollywood from a shy kid from the sticks to the ultimate tiger woman. Unschooled in acting, she would have preferred to be a singer, which explained her brief love affair and infatuation with Artie Shaw. However, her abilities on the screen were more than enough to garner public affection. To say she was charismatic is the understatement of the millennium. Ava was fierce. In contrast to Marilyn Monroe, for example, she was not as openly vulnerable. The sharp features of her face as accompanied by her full mouth were intense, alluring, and unforgiving in a predatory sense. When paired with her sultry voice, the effect was devastating. She wasn't a sex-object so much as a a dominatrix. Women admired her intensity and related to the broken woman hiding underneath her veneer. Men... they just wanted to be destroyed by her.
As many of the scout-found talents of her era, one can literally watch Ava's abilities grow on film. The awkward and uncertain girl (who married Mickey Rooney) artfully evolved into a courageous and dangerous actress. To see her blink-and-you'll-miss-it-featured roll in Calling Dr. Gillespie, to her poetically aggressive presentation in One Touch of Venus, and her comfortable, sexual masterdom in Mogambo is a fascinating experience in itself. By the time she appeared in Stanley Kramer's On the Beach, she was a seasoned veteran, through with pretense and totally embracing the raw, rough and tumble aspects of her true nature. Ava had little use for BS. The older she got, the more she was able to shirk the accepted affectations and just be the edgy, emotionally abandoned, and even frightened woman she was underneath. Few actresses had such courage.
Her personal life was less savory. She suffered a slew of broken hearts, most notoriously from her intense marriage to Frank Sinatra, a soul mate that would never fully recover from her nor she from him. Unrepentant for the woman whom she developed into, Ava left the world of Hollywood behind for the most part in her later years, moving to her beloved Spain and dancing "barefoot," as was her way. As she aged, her iconic beauty remained but was faded by harsh years, hard knocks, and alcoholism. The real Ava, who was built into a star, got lost somewhere in the Hollywood machinery and spent the majority of her life trying to find herself again.
Still, the love Goddess remains, and on this day, the day of Lovers, it seems appropriate to honor her and the impassioned, unarguable, unbreakable imprint she left behind. An accidental pioneer in the world of feminism, her example of confidence, a healthy sexuality, and chronic defiance still coaches the women of the world on their own quest for pride in identity. And the dudes still dig her too.

So this post is a little different than my *typical* ones. I thought it would be a good change of pace. I love trying to find cute t-shirts, earrings, necklaces, etc. that are book/library related. You'd be surprised how many items out there are fun and cheap! Let me know if you like this post, and I'll try to do more or similar ones. :)
T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, baby clothing: Threadless is a great place to look (trying typing 'book' into the search box on their site). The prices range from $10-$20 for a t-shirt. They periodically have $10 shirts plus free shipping days too, so be sure to subscribe to their emails! Here are a few of my favorites! These are all done by artists that Threadless sponsors. I do not own any of these pictures.
1. Storytellers - Many sizes are available for women and men! yay!
Over on Etsy (a handmade, craft online shop) you can find a huge variety of *book* related apparel and jewelry! Love it! Here are a few to get you started! I promise they are only a *little* cheesy...*eye roll* (Sorry.. no pictures posted here; click the links instead!)
1. Vintage Dewy Decimal Earrings
2. Book Stack Necklace
3. Careful, or you'll wind up in my Novel... Necklace
4. Reader's Locket
5. Dictionary Definition Necklace/Charm
6. Book Lover shirt
7. Vintage Books only shirt
8. Jane Eyre Book Purse
9. Skakespeare Book Purse
The list could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on... you get my point.
Need to decorate your office, personal library, bedroom, reading corner, bathroom...pretty much any room...? Search for vintage book pages to see some really awesome *book page* art (paintings, garland.. not just the kind for your Christmas tree, wall accessories, bouquets/flowers, ribbons... so many options)!!
Don't forget to outfit your Kindle, Nook, iPad or other e-readers with a totally awesome and functional cover! Here is a list of my absolute favorites on Etsy! My list is catered towards women, sorry boys.. you'll have to do some searching on the site. You can never have too many e-reader covers (just like shoes.. and purses.. and books.. )! For more styles, patterns, sizes, shapes, etc. search for (insert name of your e-reader) covers on Etsy.
Also try BorsaBella designs! They have soo many different cases, purses, holders...etc. for e-readers, laptops, iPads. Such a great site!
Can you tell I *love* Etsy yet? Ask TinyDreamer how much I love it.. She'll tell you I'm slightly *obsessed* with it.. but I think she is too!
Side note: Don't forget to check around the shops on Etsy that sell these items. They sell other *book* related items too! Especially the book purses, there are sooo many different covers and styles! I had a book purse made for me out of a Baking and Pastry book (I'm a pastry chef too... O.o)!
Happy hunting! Have something to recommend? Please leave a comment or email me with *recommendation* as the subject!

In Reply to: 8 hp too much for Scanoe/Canoe?????? posted by spacelad on November 11, 2003 at 11:57:32:
Spacelad, I doubt that your boat can effectively go faster than it already does. A scanoe is not a planing boat, it is a "displacement" hull, meaning that its top speed is determined by its waterline length. If you put more power on your boat, the bow wave will grow, the stern will sink, and the boat will start to handle very poorly. 4 hp should be just perfect-- as you note yourself, it "works great". If you want to go faster, you need a boat capable of getting up on plane.

THe Shed – More Life, Laws and Legacies
THe Shed in Tullie House may now be closed but there's still chance experience the Tudor themes from the last exhibition. Our original Tudor building the 'Guildhall' is open for this week of the school holidays and again in May for the summer.
Eloise shares with us some information about the final Shed exhibition and the Guildhall.
The final shed exhibition, Life, Laws and Legacies has ended with the Mayor and Mayoress coming to re-open our treasured Guildhall Museum, which is the third oldest building in Carlisle after the Castle and Cathedral.
For those of you who missed seeing the City's wonderful Dormont Book, there is a copy of the weird and wonderful old laws kept in the Guildhall, where you can see some of our treasures from Carlisle's Tudor past.
You can see the huge iron bound Muniment chest where the City's documents and treasure were stored, and also the world's oldest sports trophies are housed in the Guildhall Museum.
These horse racing bells date from 1599 and older, and were given as prizes by the Tudor mayor and Lady Dacre.
Come and explore this beautiful oak beamed building, with its wattle and daub walls, and feel like you can step back in time. The men who signed the Dormont Book sat in these very rooms nearly 450 years ago.
Isaac Tully, whose family built Tullie House was a member of the merchants guild here. He still owes the Guild 40 shillings fine for allowing his sister to work in his shop!
So overall, are we really just terribly Modern Tudors? Well, yes, I think we might be!

Those avoiding the new wave of modernism will have had the opportunity to read this in the latest star-spangled issue of King of the Kippax, the best read this side of heaven
"Riding the warm winds of change"
The Chelsea manager, Andrew Nice Houses, suddenly exploded last night in a large shower of ashes and dust. It is not thought anybody was hurt during the incident but a large part of the press room was shrouded in thick purple smoke for twenty minutes or so. It is believed that the fire may have been started inside a deep complex about Smouldering Buggery Manchester City, as is quite usual in these circumstances. "We have been severely victimised," he squeaked in a wretched tiny voice, which sounded like it was coming from the end of a very long dusty corridor late at night.
Mr. LEWIS HARRIS: A STUDY IN SPORTSMANSHIP
|Harris appeals politely
Liverpool's Corinthian attacker Lewis Feltham Harris, the son of an aristocratic Uruguayan horse breeder and an elegant polo playing countess from Abyssinia, has been in sparkling form so far this season. For a man of such slight frame and delicate disposition to stay so steadfastly on his feet throughout the terrible thumpings aimed at him on the fields of Albion is a testament to his brick-solid thoroughbred attitude to sports and games. Brought up to take a good bashing and turn the other cheek, young Lewis soon learned that skulduggery and foul play, bleating and arm-waving were not the only ways to win at soccer. One didn't have to cheat to prevail. In his cosy, well-looked after upbringing Lewis learned that Corinthian spirit and a love of one's fellow man brings the kind of deep respect that everybody is now showing towards him. "To all those snivelling, arm-waving, little jerkers that perennially fall over then bleat to the referee," he said last week, "I laugh and say, Do it the Lewis Way. Stay on your feet, play to the whistle and never look at the referee with big baby eyes".
One is inclined in these days of spit and feather, bluster and blunder to forget that – amongst all the terrific nonsensical hyperbole – footballers are just flesh and bones, very much like the rest of us in fact. This era, let us not forget, where we worship the likes of Kevin Prince Boating–Accident with his 550 leather jackets and his toe to cranium body art, and Steven Daddy Dick Ireland with his pink furnished Humdinger Chevrolet Space Buggy, plus any number of vacuous television accidents, who judge themselves personalities on the grounds that they have broken wind on camera. Amongst the many others, who left the football fraternity way before we were ready for them to depart. Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira and Gary Speed, we salute your efforts and feel deeply glum that you have gone to join the likes of Neil Young, Mike Doyle, Emlyn Hughes, Alan Ball, Jimmy Neighbour, Bobby Stokes, Alan Davies, George Armstrong, Brian Clough, George Heslop, Derek Dougan, Peter Osgood, Brian Labone in God's celestial five-a-side tournament. You will both. at least, shore up the midfield very nicely indeed.
By Shaun Custard still in the Fox and Firkin
With a blink of an eye and a quick exhalation of stale air, it was done. The Dirty Deed. The Revenge Derby is on. Sir Fergus will bring his vengeful but nevertheless world-beating troops to the Elaborately-Sponsored Etihad Stadium to face up to Moneybags Bastard Manchester City for the third time this season and the world can only hope that the old maestro can cook up a more appealing broth than the toad soup and evans dumplings that we were force fed at Old Trafford last month. For Fergus's side still has merit, oh yes. The thunderous thighs of goal man Rooney and the delicate agility of Donny Wellbred do not suddenly count for nothing, you know. The two little hobbits, Pippy and Prawny, do not suddenly become bad players overnight. Johnny SixesandEvans cannot surely be any worse than last time? Berbatov can still recite poetry like no other Vulgarian I know. These are all reasons for the massive red majority in Manchester to be positive. The Men In Black can sleep easily alongside their teddies tonight. Silly City, as many people like to call them, are foolish in the extreme to underestimate them. Their fans, full of cockiness and Boddingtons, delivered a clear message to the roving Sky cameras yesterday, brimming with froth and frothing with brim, little snot-nosed kiddies trying to get six fingers counted for the cameras. It is this bravado and self-centred behaviour that makes these people so ugly to look at, so painful to listen to, with their prawn kebabs and their Balotelli hats shaped like a waving hand. For, sure enough, class still counts and history is not counted on the fingers of one hand. It takes time to tip a tea pot and class doesn't just pop out of the other end. With the derby scores absolutely level so far this season, one win each, by the narrowest of margins, City and their unwashed hordes are about to find this out the hard way come derby day in the Cup.
Mark Organ is on holiday in Salford all this week. Brian Granville was unavailable to comment owing to his putty pen melting and Bob Rodent of The Star was too busy looking up womens' dresses.
Group of Absynthe: Poland (host nation, go easy on them), Chicken Republic, Guatemala and Crete

|Side profile, high profile
Aurelio de Laurentiis: here is a man with very attractive slick hair, a way with melancholic drama and very definitely something of the night, it has to be said. The great man of the people, orator profundo, shake-a-leg-Sandy and Billy Big Noise hath spoken: "The kind Sheik will tire of his toy. He will see football is not only about money, but also glory and oil, funny faces and wolf masks. It is about the sunrise over Vesuvius, the leopard print panties that my girlfriends wear. It is smoke and laughter, laughter and smoke, painting your name on fountains and reducing the toilet block to rubble. All of these things are the football that the Sheik does not get. It is Polly Pocket and Thomas the Tank engine, Brian Deane and Emily Heskey. It is flares, rockets and guns, it is giant heaps of refuse in all directions, steaming grouplets of hooligans on scooters, knife wielding charlatans and pickpockets. It is the glory of Naples, a city drowning in its own detritus. This all is football, this all is what we are, what makes us, what defines us. Tell that to your little Sheik with big pockets." Afterwards he needed to lie down.
Ivorian powerhouse and Bastard Manchester City dietician Colin Tory has complained BITTERLY about his lack of opportunities in the first team. Team Manager Bob Mancini has also explained the reasons behind his frequent exclusion: "Eeer, these ees becoz ee eez not so very good" explained the erudite and confused-looking manager, sweeping an errant lock of grey hair back behind his well-sculpted ear. "Eee theenks ee eez good but in fact, Kompany ees better, Lescott ee eez better, even Steve Savage ee eez better. How can I tell eem these, he will keel over."
Tory meanwhile has stated that Savage is, in fact, not better, but quite a lot worse than himself. He said: "In fact the new fellow is rubbish isn't he? I mean look at him! I watch him in training and think to myself "big bugger, he's so useless this is a deathly insult to Colin Tory."
|Look at me
Emmanuel Frimpong. Even the name itself shouts "look at me!". The hair bellows "I am a peacock". The demeanour says, "look at all I am become, swanky and so sure". Here is a young footballer just making his way, learning his trade, picking up juicy titbits here and there to make him a better player, perhaps even a better person. It appears, however, that some lessons have already arrived bang on time at Platform One of Mr Frimpong's well organised Central Cortex: a) take off your shirt whilst still leaving the pitch to allow full air time for the company slogan (your company slogan!) to your adoring public. b) act the big wedge with other professionals such as Samir Nasri, to show them, even though you are still only thirteen years old, "you don't take grief from no one". Here, quite literally, quite splendidly, is a footballer of our times, for our times. I am sure we all deserve him.
Michel Platini was a graceful artist in his playing days for Nancy (stop that), St Etienne and Juventus, where he is still treated as a deity to this day. It is fascinating to see that he has brought all of this grace and balance, pomp and circumstance to his current role as Prince of Football, High Chancellor of UEFA, Cadillac Cruiser and The Knowledge of Switzerland. Having quite rightly LAMBASTED Big Bugger Manchester City for their THOUGHTLESS DESTRUCTION OF OUR BELOVED WORLD GAME, he rightly praised Paris St Germain for bringing some colour, verve, competition and MONEY to the dowdy and down-at-heel French league scene. This, you see, is where PROPER SIZED BRAINS make the difference between a Platini and a mere mortal, who perhaps is concerning himself with the whereabouts of his car keys or whether it might just be Miniature Chicken Kievs again for tea. Platini is not concerned with Chicken Kiev, miniature or otherwise. He is rebuilding the CITY OF KIEV, although there might not be too many hotels, or in fact trains or planes. "It will be a complicated success" he regaled. How jolly marvelous. How complicated exactly will it be to be a football follower in these places, Monsieur Platini? Very complicated, extremely complicated, really bloody complicated, or sod it I'm off to Marbella complicated? We love a challenge, so we must thank you for this one. Merci!
But that is to digress and to deflect attention away from this GREAT MAN'S grand oeuvres and manoeuvres. Just this week, he asked the oh-so-pertinent question "How shall we play a world cup in Qatar?" These truly are questions on every poor man's wet and quivering LIPS. Lips that will be so dry and parched in the 50 degree heat of Doha, they might just as well be removed and used as espadrilles. Luckily there is a font of information, a source of wisdom that will help us garner the correct answer to this latest conundrum: MICHEL PLATINI himself, for it is he who voted for the wretched place in the first place.
Charles Tevez's burning wish to leave Buggery Battery Brutally Manchester City to be closer to his beloved family, half family, inlaws, outlaws, inbreds, invertebrates and assorted ex's has moved a tiny little bit closer with the news that he may, might, could, should, would if he could, is set to sign for Milan in the window. This knocks an INCREDIBLE one mile off the journey home and should make just about everybody weep tears of joy, including Kia Joorabchian, who lives next door to wherever Tevez is. Those figures in greater detail: Manchester-Buenos Aires - 6935 miles. Milan-Buenos Aires - 6934 miles.
