GREENBURGH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Brad Richards would like to continue his career with the New York Rangers.
But will he be back next season?
That decision was his two summers ago, but now it is out of his hands.
The former star center joined his Rangers teammates on Monday in cleaning out their lockers following a disappointing five-game loss to the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The defeat struck Richards even harder because he was a healthy scratch for the final two games.
His production simply wasn't good enough to stay in the lineup. That is a far cry from July 2011 when the 33-year-old Richards signed a nine-year, $60-million deal to join the Rangers as a prized free agent.
"It's about the team and producing for the team, and it was a struggle," Rangers coach John Tortorella said of Richards, who won the Stanley Cup with him in 2004 with Tampa Bay. "It not only hurt Brad, but more importantly it hurt the team.
"It's not all on him as far as all the things that have gone on. When you have a guy that we put into the position that we thought was going to produce, it hurts the team. We just keep on trying to get better, other guys step in, try to do some other things, and you try to find a way to win as a hockey club."
The Rangers stayed alive against Boston in Game 4, the first game Richards was held out of the lineup. They couldn't duplicate the success two days later, and were eliminated on the road.
"When it happens, you're not really understanding," Richards said of the benching. "It just wasn't a good season."
Now Richards' future with the Rangers is very much in doubt. New York could choose to buy out the remaining seven years of Richards' contract. Each NHL team has the option of two amnesty buyouts that could be used to terminate contracts before next season or the 2014-15 season.
The buyouts will cost two-thirds of the remaining amount on a deal — paid evenly over twice its remaining length — and will count against the players' overall share in revenues, but not the individual team's salary cap. A buyout for Richards would cost the Rangers $24 million over 14 years.
"I didn't play the last two games of the season," Richards said. "I signed here to be a Ranger for a lot longer than a year-and-a-half. So I hope to do that.
"But I do understand what's going on. I just want to play hockey. That's all I'm worried about."
Tortorella said that no matter what happens, his relationship with Richards hasn't been changed or damaged.
The ultimate decision on what happens with the contract, however, rests in the hands of general manager Glen Sather. The team is expected to hold its organizational meetings in late June.
Richards was moved to the fourth line before he was eventually benched, but his style of play didn't fit there.
"Brad knows how I feel about him," Tortorella said. "I was not coaching him the right way playing him on the fourth line. It doesn't work, but I also could not put him in front of other people because I thought the other people were playing better.
"I think it needs to be the start of trying to jump-start him, to make him understand this isn't good enough. That's one thing about Brad Richards, I think he understands that stuff. It happened at a time that we didn't want to do it, but it is a bit of a wake-up call as far as where we are and what we expect. I believe he understands that and I do believe he will turn himself around."
The long lockout eliminated training camps for teams before the season finally began in January. Richards said he was in good shape in September when the season should have started, but that changed during the extended layoff.
Richards will have to convince the Rangers, or any other team that might be interested in signing him should New York let him go, that he is still capable of being a productive player. He was limited to 11 goals and 34 points in 46 regular-season games and then one goal in 10 postseason contests.
"I'd like to get through the summer first. Obviously I have a lot to prove," he said. "It was a roller coaster."

I have one question for Arthur:How far behind Anthony and Stephanie and Marisa and Brooke were you?
Wow! Well, since lots of questions were already asked, I'll just ask a random question to hippie Arthur. How's your beekeeping business? I think this question has been asked. lol
guys! I've been fan of yours in All Stars! (sorry I wasn't able to appreciate the first race, I was still a child then... ) I must say, had you guys not been delayed to the Poland flight, you would have kicked ass in the race! I was sad that you were eliminated earlier in the game than what I have expected. Anyway, my question is that, Considering how strict airports are with people being late from their boarding time, how were you able to run to the tarmac on your flight to Warsaw? Did you just run there, neglecting the security? And how hard was it to catch flights from Mozambique to Tanzania? How come there has been huge time differences? Is there or do you think there was a lapse by production or unfortunate events that occured there? I rather turned off by that one part, The race absolutely depended on the flights and airport itself than you guys racing.
And for Team Guido, when you were stuck in Africa with Eric & Danielle, Bill went out and tried to get the pilot's attention with his small bell and whistle. Did he think he could actually get the plane to stop and what was Joe thinking when this was all happening?
One for the Guido'sYour attempt to hold up the other teams so they would miss their flight in season one is regarded as the first truly evil action of TAR (although it is quite tame in comparison to later seasons). What was your motivation for it, and at what point did you realize that the situation had gotten WAY out of hand?
Love everyone who has come! For team Guido:How surprised were you when you were last, but then found that Nancy and Emily made a terrible mistake?

I believe a blunt edge would be heavier than a finely sharpened edge simply due to mass.
Striga wrote:Two sided is generally used by armoured infantry, and one sided by lightly armoured or un-armoured. However, I would think it should be the other way around, as with two sided, you could swing it back and forth and do damage with either side. One sided however, if you're going to overpower someone, you could place your other hand on the back of it to strengthen your hold. This doesn't make much sense.
If you are swinging a sword, I'm fairly sure you don't actually swing it back and forth. If it's blocked, you pull the sword back. If you strike home, you pull the sword back. If you miss, you reverse the grip and perhaps swing again. The idea is that lightly armored troops will fall with one quick easy slash, but slashing is useless against armored troops whereas stabbing to find armor chinks is highly effective.
It's more about stabbing vs. slashing than weight. It was only the Medieval times where they used Claymores and whatnot to tear off plates.

Ah, the old "list of scientists". They have more than 800 that allegedly say climate change is fake and evolution is a fraud. It is hard to find a scientist that is convinced that GM crops are a bad idea. They look at the data.

A recent PM prompted this post...
The number of cachers and caches are growing exponentially in Maine. As much as we try to get certian cachers (new or seasoned) involved in this site or events, there are those who choose to be alone (some are just a little stubborn ) and there is little way to insure Maine caches retain their quality.
One way is by email, if it can be nicely and positively stated, explaining why you might disagree with the action a particular cacher took. This can be tough to do.
But there is another way we can. That is by setting an example.
If a cacher finds 10 lamp post micros, he will assume he should hide the same thing.
If a cacher reads logs of cachers trading a dirty used golf ball for a $5 item, he will assume it is ok to do so.
If a cacher finds a Gladware cache, broken and wet, he will hide the same assuming that's part of the game.
If a cacher sees a cache owner disable a lost or damaged cache and not do anything about it for 2.5 years, he will assume that is acceptable.
You get the picture - we as regular cachers affect other cachers more than we may think. Our hides and our actions give other cachers a baseline from which to start from.
It's impossible to expect everyone to do what is best for geocaching in Maine. And, there are multiple opinions of what is best. But we should remember when we place, log, or trade, that we are setting an example for others.

The Gran Turismo series has always been about realism on the road and in the driver's seat. That's always been the case on Earth, anyway, but now the series is venturing into space for the first time. Gran Turismo 6 will allow players to navigate the treacherous zero-gravity surface of the moon, using a playable lunar rover.
"We had been working for a while on simulating the stars properly in the game, and the moon was being recreated very accurately," Polyphony president Kazunori Yamauchi told PlayStation.Blog. "We thought, 'wouldn't it be interesting if you could drive on the surface of the moon?' So we did some research into the lunar rover and thought we should make it available in the game to drive.
It was something we knew we could do with the technology that we had. It was really born out of curiosity."
Polyphony's dedication to realism led the studio to research actual routes used by the Apollo 15 lunar rover. The moon simulation will be featured as a side track, which requires rover drivers to reach checkpoints in a certain amount of time. The new track also serves as an inspiration for new futuristic car designs from Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, which will also be playable.

The Dear Hunter
Casey Crescenzo, mastermind of The Dear Hunter, was born into music. His parents met while both were working at the Record Plant recording studio in Sausalito, California, where Stevie Wonder recorded Songs in the Key of Life and Rick James recorded "Super Freak." He started learning to play guitar when he was eight, using his mom's '64 Harmony Bobcat ("basically a piece of cardboard with a tin foil pickup and strings," he recalls), and from the ages of nine through 14 he pretty much listened to nothing but Jimi Hendrix. He broke his left arm in the seventh grade in a basketball-dunking stunt gone awry, and spent the summer playing guitar with a cast on. When the cast finally came off, he found he was able to play far better than before, thanks to the months of resistance, and he started playing along with Steve Vai and Frank Zappa records in his room.
Toward the end of high school, Casey joined a band called Dillusion, on guitar -- at that time, he recalls, "it seemed like every band in Southern California was a nu metal band." They signed a development deal with Epic Records, but after co-producing an EP for the band, Casey ultimately decided it wasn't a good musical fit for him, and left the group.
Pessimistic about his future in music, he sold all of his musical equipment and moved across the country, living briefly in New York's Hudson Valley before moving to Boston. But a number of job opportunities in film editing and computer graphics fell through, and he ended up living in the apartment as a recluse for three months before he was evicted, and wound up homeless on the streets of Boston for several months. (He never told his parents, talking his way around the fact whenever they spoke.)
He finally found an apartment, living with three girls who didn't require a credit check (a vital requirement, as Casey had no credit to check). One of them worked at a local Urban Outfitters store, and got Casey a job as a cashier. And after a couple of months, Casey found his way back to writing music again. A couple of his co-workers at the store had a band, and word got to Casey that they were looking for a singer. He was hesitant, as he'd never been a frontman before, but he gave them a demo tape anyway, and they liked his guitar playing and synthesizer/sequencing skills, so, although his voice was too mellow, they wanted him to join.
That band was The Receiving End of Sirens. They quickly released an EP, and a year after Casey joined the band, they released their debut album on Triple Crown Records. The band hit the road as soon as the album came out, and stayed there for a year solid, supporting a variety of other punk and hardcore bands across the country and joining the Vans Warped Tour for a stint in 2005.
It was Casey's first taste of musical success, but he was exhausted. In the previous three years he'd gone from heartbroken and homeless to life on the road, sleeping on couches and floors, and putting in a ton of work on top of playing in the band: building their website, handling their merchandise, directing and editing music videos, and recording all their demos. He felt intensely creative (and the band didn't have any money to hire other people to handle these things anyway), and so he relished the work, but he was running himself ragged. He grew sick, and with no time to rest, no health insurance, and no money to pay a hospital bill, it got worse and worse, and his demeanor soured accordingly. By the end of the band's first headlining tour in the spring of 2006, he was out of gas, alienated from his bandmates, and was sure he was about to get kicked out of the band. The others assured him this wasn't so, he just needed to rest for a while, and packed him off to his parents' house in California... where he arrived to an email from his bandmates, telling him he was out.
But what seemed like the tragic end of yet another road for Casey turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. He'd been writing and recording songs on his own, on the side, just for fun, and labeling it The Dear Hunter; and the day after The Receiving End of Sirens kicked him out, both his booking agent and the head of his label called and said, "You should do The Dear Hunter for real, and we want in."
Ten EPs, three albums, five home bases and about a hundred band members later, The Dear Hunter has allowed Casey Crescenzo to realize his musical vision. From the beginning, it was a high-concept project: Casey mapped out multi-page treatments for a six-album story arc set at the dawn of the 20th century about the birth, life, and abrupt death of a boy, known only in the story as "The Dear Hunter." Within a year he'd released the full-length albums Act I: The Lake South, The River North and Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading. The third installment, Act III: Life and Death, came two years later. Then, in 2010 and 2011, he took a break from the Acts to record The Color Spectrum, a series of nine EPs, each named for a color of the rainbow (along with black and white) and featuring songs intended as musical interpretations of that color. The stylistic range on The Color Spectrum was expansive, from the intricate prog-metal pathos of "This Body" to the majestic, uplifting pop of "Home." Casey played a special show at Boston's Somerville Theatre at which he performed all 36 songs from The Color Spectrum live, with full band and string section; a DVD of this one-time event will be released on March 12, 2013.
And now, another sharp turn from The Dear Hunter: Migrant, out April 2, 2013 on Equal Vision Records. This time, there's no overarching concept to enforce, no elaborate fictions to weave -- just 12 beautiful, honest, patient songs, and certainly Casey Crescenzo's most broadly accessible music ever. And it's staggering to think that this is the same guy whose voice was once deemed "too mellow," as Casey ranges from intimate murmur to smoky falsetto to urgent wail, coloring the songs from out in front. It's obvious from the exhilarating gallop of the first single, "Whisper," and the dusky keys and strings of "Shame" (inspired by the canon of James Bond movie theme songs), that The Dear Hunter has entered another new phase, dealing with universal ideas, sounds, and experiences. It's been a long, hard road to get here, but Casey Crescenzo finally feels at home.

All this crap has to be opposed because it is anti-America-------the White House Rural Council, the UN, The ICLEI, Agenda 21, etc. In fact all this crap is anti-people of the entire world!!!!!
(d) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Yeah Obama only has a year and a half to get the NWO agenda pushed through.The problem is that more and more people keep waking up at a near exponential rate.
Funny you mention it the Eagle is the symbol of the Constitution Party.
Indeed--You can always rest assured when the Government implements a program using words like; "Patriot Act," "Healthcare Reform," Free Trade," you know what it truly means encroachments on liberty.
Donnay, look at the comments section at this link below--over 500 have responded and let me tell you, they are mostly farmers and ranchers and they are ANGRY that Obama has done this. They are happy the way things have been going and resent government intrusion. People are waking up!!!! http://www.theblaze.com/stories/does-the-new-white-house-rural-council-uns-agenda-21/
I can't recall a President that has BEWITCHED a nation THIS much. No, I'm not talking about his own "Democrats", it seems like "Republicans" have grown pretty apathetic as well.(ie-remember how they got outraged at Clinton and Carter, but are barely putting up anything with Obama)Sure, "Republicans" may say they hate him, but other than that, they just seem apathetic over what's going on in Capitol Hill.
I don't see how this is going to work.

LISC uses the language of Agenda 21 and ICLEI as their web page details their work to build Sustainable Communities. Melody Barnes head of the Domestic Policy Council Former VP at George Soros-funded Center for American Progress. Hilda Solis from the Labor Dept in 2000 received an award for her work on Environmental Justice. Nancy Sutley head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality Served on the board of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District and was one of the biggest supporters of low-flow toilets that are now credited with costing more money than expected while causing some nasty problems....As long as theres not another Weinergate, maybe theyll notice.
I don't see how this is going to work.Towns and cities have Mayors. Counties have either a County Commisioner or a staff of legislators already.Then it moves on to the state legislature and Governor.There's already de-centralized executive and legislative branches.I don't see how the states are going to give up their 10th Amendment rights to comply with such an order ? Obama obviously didn't think this through or has no idea what federalism is about.

ITJB Round 2 Week 13 - Wonder Cake pg. 194 July 21 - July 28, 2012
We 3 Sisters ended this semester's baking today; and we can't wait to see what is in store for us after the summer break. Looking forward to the choices and the opportunities to learn new techniques. Some of the fun of baking on the same day, together, but miles apart is the individuality that shows through in our finished product. Sometimes there are pictures in the cookbook that guide us to a more uniform finish and sometimes not. Even when we are guided to a certain look we put our own personal signature on our result. We have no tragic, or hilarious stories of our ovens catching fire this week... so week "13" had no superstitious visits from any evil kitchen fairies or anything. It was a pretty, aromatic, and delicious looking outcome. Here are the pictures to show how different three sisters can be and the wide range of "talent" present. LOL
This is Barb's cake, bundt pan, and sans icing
This will make the cake much more suited to her hubby's blood sugar goals.... Very pretty and you can see the chocolate peeking through in places.
Next up is Helen's Masterpiece... Wow, I am sure she is glad she has her daughters and grandchildren to spread the joy with this one! It looks so very good and gooey (remember gooey is a good thing!)... lovely.
and then
she did this...
Ahhh.... man o man, it ended up being this...
Now that looks like it could be a Yiddish Tradition that is hard to find! Just like the book says. YUM.
I went with an un-iced cake, but put chocolate chips between the layers to melt and hold them together.
and ended up with this, great almond chococlate taste!
I am thinking since I was so diligent in leaving off the icing... it would set nicely on the place with a scoup of chocolate or vanilla ICE CREAM! Yeah!!! That would be awesome!
Rounds One and Two of the Inside the Jewish Bakery Cookbook Challenge have been completed by the "We 3 sisters" ... we will be bumping heads during the break with other bakers, and writers, and looking forward to getting back to Stan and Norm for Round 3 in the Fall.
Happy Baking, and washing up!
Barbra, Helen, and Diane

Kimberly at the wonderful GlamAmor blog has published a fantastic post and accompanying video on the Edith Head designed resort wardrobe featured in Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief. If you love Grace Kelly's cool, understated elegance in that film as much as I do, you'll definitely want to check it out.
Wardrobe contributed so much to Hitchcock's films and as Kimberly points out so well, Edith Head was integral in creating what we now think of as Hitchcock Style. Imagine Vertigo without Kim Novak's severely chic gray suit, or Rear Window without Grace Kelly's magnificent entrance in that black and white dress with the full tulle and chiffon skirt. It can't be done! The best costume designers, like Mad Men's brilliant Janie Bryant and of course Edith Head, are just as much storytellers as any writer or director.
If you want to learn more about Edith Head, I highly recommend checking out Edith Head: The Fifty Year Career of Hollywood's Greatest Costume Designer by Jay Jorgensen. It's full of stunning illustrations and photos of Head's most memorable work, including that she did with Alfred Hitchcock.

Nokia's N-8 will be the last N-series phone to use Symbian. The outfit made an announcement yesterday.
Apparently Nokia thinks that MeeGo software would provide a better chance to battle against their rivals Apple and Google. The N-series had been dominating the market before Apple's iPhone was brought into the market. Nokia and Intel have been giving details about how they will produce MeeGo, by merging Nokia's Linux Maemo software platform with Intel's Moblin.
According to Ben Wood, Research Director at British consultancy CCS Insight told Silicon India that the MeeGo plans mean that Nokia is "betting the ranch" on this platform to beat high-end rivals. Nokia has seen other versions of Linux such as Google's Android operator-backed LiMo and Palm's webOS steal a large share in the mobile market.
He thinks that mobile advertising could be the monetary backbone for mobile innovation in apps.

You need to know that I have only tested with 23andMe and I am stumbling my way through this uncharted wilderness without much of a map. The seminar a week ago with Ce Ce Moore has shed ample light on the scientific aspects of this work so that's to the good. She did mention, if I remember correctly, that AncestryDNA uses the Ancestry Member Trees and gives you a head start showing the section of your tree and the cousin match's tree that seem similar. That would be a big help! A clue, any clue, is a big deal!
My problem over here is that the cousin match folks, while mostly enthusiastic about working together to discover a connection, really do lose energy when looking at Mom's Big Tree on Ancestry with over 60,000 people! Where to start?
Alternately, of the folks who replied and are in contact with me and willing to discover where we match, few have trees on line. The one experience I had with a cousin match who did have a large tree on Ancestry gave me an insight into how difficult it is looking at someone else's tree and try to find that elusive ancestor with whom we share a bit of DNA. It's a pain!
So as mentioned here previously, my job is to provide them with a list of surnames going back maybe a half-dozen generations with the locations associated with each surname. This idea came from Ce Ce Moore at the seminar and it was a super good one! This last week I reached out to those cousin matches again and mentioned the list I was working on to get a reaction from them. All of them responded warmly! They would be happy to have a list of surnames and where each lived. One even replied with the longest message I'd received from him yet with even more of his surnames and locations. Cool! Am starting to see that you need enthusiastic cousins to work this problem because it is work.
I have to say that checking in with the prospective cousin match folks first before I went off to work on that surname and location list was a better idea... granted, any other person would have thought of a while back;)

NEW YORK — As it moves forward with plans to become a national player in the fitness club game, Equinox Fitness Clubs has appointed Scott Rosen as its new chief financial officer.

Post subject: Post-Cata servers
Hello guys,
I have registered here just to ask for your opinions and hopefully find a resolution to my problem.
I quit back during WotLK due to the seemingly mindless amount of thought that Blizzard put in to the game, and it felt more like they just threw out an expac then anything.
However, I have been convinced to give World of Warcraft another go, as a friend was very persuasive.
Upon returning to WoW, I found that Warsong-US (which was almost crippled when I left with 1-2k queue times, and alliance's massive growing multi-language population (no offense, just makes coordination harder and the community smaller), had entirely finished itself off. According to the census data (which has been mentioned to not be as accurate as it was in the past) the alliance to horde ratio has shifted greatly with all the english speaking alliance taking their open transfers off the server.
This has left the server dead in my opinion, and almost unplayable unless I was to learn portugese or russian and even then the population is massively small.
Which all has raised the great question of "Where do I go now? What's left for me?"
My friend in his brilliance started on Hyjal-US Alliance with another friend of his, so I tried to play there, but it is a ghost town for the most part, and hardly worth character transfers to go to.
I have been considering Burning Blade-US and Tichondrias-US. Even though Tich shows up on the census as having low population and out of balance ratio, I do remember it being a great server back in the day, and reputable as Warsong was and am hoping it hasn't changed from that.
I've also noticed the older the servers are, the more out of balance, and underpopulated the census data shows. I'm curious as to if this is actual data, or if it its just misleading census data. I do understand WoW is dying and that no one really wants to start a server with 15k geared level 85s standing over them all the time, which is caused my problem also as I quit during WotLK and had never reached 85 (although I have a long history of pre-expac and post-BC raiding).
I've been trying to find a mostly balanced PvP server with a good size population or at least an active population. Preferably with a larger amount of mid level players starting out, or rolling there.
But after going on a few servers and finding out what I can its begginging to look as if I jumped ship during WotLK before the game went to hell, and am now trying to get back on the boat while its sinking.
Are there any servers still alive where the glory that was once WoW still exists?
I also apologize for the unneccesarily long post, its 6am, have been up all night, and figured I would get it out of my system before I went to sleep.
Thanks in advance for any insight or assistance anyone can give.

Hello and welcome!
I am going to jump over some things so I get to the "meaty parts". In short, the information you have gotten about census data getting less accurate is sadly very much true. If my quick count was correct, out of the almost 300 (298?) US servers 13 (yes, THIRTEEN!) have sufficient data level on both horde and alliance side. EU is even worse off with 9 out of 295? or so. What's even worse is the fact that currently, EU has 46 servers, which have lost data integrity entirely and have no entries on either side in the past 30 days.
This means there are realms with "high", possibly even "full" populations that show up as almost empty (or for EU side, even entirely dead) here. In this sense, the data on most servers is misleading, because with very rare exceptions, the population indicated here is miles and miles below the actual levels.
All this, by the way, also means that WoW isn't dying, just that WCR is in trouble. As I have maintained a very steady level of new ones and updates ever since I cut down my personal list a bit in December, I know for a fact that population levels of those almost 20 realms I keep a steady eye on have mostly maintained or in one very specific case greatly increased their populations.
Another clear sign of WoW's well being is something fairly new. Lots of realms that I keep an eye on are showing a statistically significant spike in their level 20 populations, meaning there are people who are hitting the free play level cap.
A third such indicator would be the popularity of the Russian servers. Almost all of them list as "Full", even during early morning hours and far as I can tell, Blizzard has been conservatively adding servers to them.
And though I have no solid figures to offer, I am about 90% sure that such markets as Korea and China are still growing.
As to your dilemma... Due to massive lack of data, my ideas list is fairly limited... However, you could at least check out the following:
Burning Blade, Horde
Dragonmaw, Horde
Shargeras, either
Shadowmoon, either
Stormscale, either
And if an RP-PvP server is an option:
Emerald Dream, either
Lightninghoof, Alliance
The Venture Co, Horde
Due to lack of data, I can't guarantee that these ideas are the actually best options. They are based solely on certain observations of the current data on WCR and my personal knowledge of certain properties of the WCR and the actual realms themselves.
All of this is my subjective and personal opinion and should be treated as such. Thank you and have a nice day!

Post subject: Thanks
I really appreciate all the information, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, as I was out of town for awhile.
However, I did check out burning blade after I made the post, and managed to talk to one player who had been there for a long, long time.
He did say that horde lose battlegrounds about 90% of the time, but there was a lot of people to do them with, and queue times were very short by comparison to what they are on Warsong and Hyjal.
I am going to go roll new characters on Dragonmaw, Shargeras, Shadowmoon, and Stormscale when I get a chance also, and attempt to get a feel for the servers before moving a large amount of characters around.
I don't think I will be playing on the RP servers though, I had ran a character on Emerald Dream back in the day and quit after it was apparently "frowned upon" for mindlessly farming Dishonorable Kills by mutilating small towns.
I highly appreciate the suggested servers though, it gives me something to aim at and I look forward to seeing what they're like.

Post subject: Warsong transfer
I know for a fact that back when Warsong was really overpopulated, as you stated, that Blizzard offered free character transfers from Warsong ---> Tichondrius. That was one of the servers you mentioned as a possibility. I was Horde on Warsong and we experienced the same thing, over crowding of foreign populations and languages making it very hard to coordinate things. I, as well as many english speaking players I knew, took the free transfer to Tichondrius. So that helps with the info you needed.

So what did you think of Dries?
For me it begins and ends with his collection in Paris.
When looking at the photos on Style.com give each look an extra three points because the colors are even more perfect in person.
He is the one designer that can do a long show (60 something looks) and not have it seem repetitive because each look is its own study of color, shape and texture.
Also ,if you get a chance, take a look at the portraits (with the black background) that I did at the Dries show on Style.com.
They were very difficult to shoot but they turned out very good I think.
the shoe are the softess, pale lilac color that is so perfect with those shades of grey.

Lady Braves sophomore forward Billie Hearn's hand was trembling as she walked out of the locker room after defeating Lloyd Memorial 50-42 Jan. 29, setting a new career high with 32 points.
"It felt really good," she said after game. "We played good as sisters and the team and executed well."
Following the game, jumped into Hearn the arms of freshman Emmalie Hankinson and greeted everyone that was near the locker room. Her previous career high was 26 points against Williamstown Dec. 17.
Along with her 32 points, sister Brittany Hearn contributed nine points for the Lady Braves, as the two sisters almost single-handedly defeated the Lady Juggernauts with 41 combined points.
The Hearn sisters have been playing varsity basketball together at Grant County for three years.
"She may not believe me, but I really do love her," Billie said. "I love playing with her, especially when she is on the floor. She is a really good basketball player and I wish she could have gone longer with it, but she didn't. I will wish her good luck in college."
As the season winds down, their time on the floor is dwindling and Billie said that it will be hard to not show emotion on senior night.
"The team doesn't think I am going to cry, but I will," she said. "I love her a lot."
Against Lloyd, Brittany kept the Lady Braves in the game early going with five points in the first quarter. Her points helped stage the comeback, especially when Billie and the rest of the team were struggling to make shots.
Lady Braves coach Darrell Guffey said the Hearn sisters are good role models for the younger players.
"They come to practice every day," he said. "They are one of the first ones here and they work hard. We really pushed them to lead us in different ways and this game they were really big tonight."
Brittany said that this was her best game she has played in a Grant County uniform.
"Everybody is surprised that Billie and I work really well together because of us being sisters," she said. "I think overall, it was an amazing game for Billie and I."
She said that it can be rough sometimes playing with your sister, but that most of the time it has been good.
"Sharing the spotlight with your sister sometimes is hard, but this game was an awesome night for Billie and I," Brittany said. "It was nice to share the floor with her tonight."
Guffey agreed with Brittany on being able to share the same position, forward, on the floor.
"Being sisters and playing basketball can be tough," he said. "Some days that sister rivalry gets in the way and it can get ugly. Sometimes you look for each other too and this game showed that."
Brittany said she is going to miss basketball and playing with her sister.
"I am really going to miss playing here," she said. "I'm not ready to leave yet."
Their parents Tracy and Bill Hearn have attended all of their games this season and with Brittany heading to college next year, it is important to her that they are in attendance.
"I love having them here," Brittany said.
Tracy agreed with her daughters that it will be hard.
"It probably will be difficult," she said. "They have been playing together since the third grade."

In my ongoing quest to write stories that other bloggers won't touch, I thought I'd forgo the usual "Top Credit Cards for the Month" post and try to help out those readers who eschew credit cards and prefer to use cash (losers!!). So here are my Top 5 US Paper Currency Denominations for January:
1) $20 Bill. You may remember the $20 bill from my post last year called "One US Paper Currency Denomination To Rule Them All." This is my everyday, go-to currency. It's incredibly flexible – you can purchase literally tens of thousands of items that are priced at less than twenty dollars. That $7.95 ball? I'll use a $20 bill. That $14 taco platter? Perfect, I'll use a $20 bill. Even that $19.99 K-Tel 8-Track Collection of the Best Disco Hits of 1977? $20 bill will cover that every time. Even more amazing? If I want to buy a $32 steak at a schmancy restaurant? I can just break out TWO of those twenty dollar bills, and that will work as well.
But here's a tip you won't get on the other blogs: At the drugstore I'll buy a $1.99 pack of mints. Then I hand the clerk a $20 bill. Sometimes they'll say, "I'm sorry, but at CVS we can't accept $20 bills for that — you have to use a credit card." And I'll say, "just try typing it into the machine." And it always goes through! (If it doesn't, just go to a different CVS). But that's not the best part. I'll give him (or her) $20, and he'll hand me $18.01 cash back. That's right, I get 900% cash back when I use my $20 bill at drug stores. Amazing! Shhhh, don't publish that anywhere or it'll blow the whole operation!
2) $10 Bill. The $10 bill isn't quite as useful as the $20 bill, but it can definitely come in handy. I'll break it out in a bar sometimes and slap it down like I'm a grizzled gold prospector from 1872 and say, "What can a guy get for a sawbuck?????" It's perfect when you need a roll of quarters, because you can exchange one of these beauties for 40 of the shiny coins. Also makes a nice birthday present for your 7-year old niece. And no other bill beats it when purchasing a $9.99 bouquet of flowers. 0% cash back on $10 purchase.
3) $100 Bill. The $100 bill just feels good in your hands, which is always a reason to choose how to pay for something. A $100 bill tells the guy at the gas station, "Don't F- Wit Me, Asshole!" It also tells the guy at the grocery store, "Don't F- Wit Me, Asshole!" I wouldn't recommend breaking it out at the convenience store, because they're not going to accept $100 bills, my friend. No sorry, buddy, no $100 bills. It is, however, perfect when paying a prostitute for services rendered. Or add it to a few of its $100 bill friends and suddenly little Joshua has the best gift ever from his grandpa. Unless his grandpa lost it gambling, which is also a great use of these suckers. $0 annual fee not waived first year.
4) $1 Bill. Did you ever park your car at a valet? Maybe a rental car. Or your own car. Or someone else's car? Whose car it is isn't really relevant. You know how when you retrieve your car and the guy pulls up and you feel like you should give him something? Yeah, that's right – two $1 bills will do the trick. Or did you ever go into a douche-y restaurant and go into the bathroom to do your business and some guy is in there waiting to hand you a towel? Yep, our old friend $1 bill is great for that occasion. Also it's the correct currency for making it rain at the strip club when you don't want to blow too much money at once. If you spend $40,000 one-dollar bills in the year, you won't get any status whatsoever.
5) $5 Bill. I'm never sure what the hell you're supposed to do with this one. Does anything cost $3.75? No, it doesn't. It's too little for a birthday gift and too much to tip the douche-y restaurant bathroom attendant. Abe Lincoln would be saddened to know he's on this currency.
$50 Bill. Why in God's name is there even a $50 bill? Go try and buy a soda at a bodega and pay for it with $50 and see what they do to you. They will literally crinkle it up and throw it at you, then kick your ass til you cry. Try and pay your babysitter with it and ask for the $15 change back. C'mon, now! Makes a decent birthday present for a 13-year-old until that 13-year-old tries to go to whatever the hell store a 13-year-old goes to and tries to use it. They will LAUGH IN HIS FACE! Who the hell do you think you are, kid? Now go to the bank and get 2 twenties and a ten and then maybe – MAYBE! – you can come back in here and buy Halo 7. Maybe! Damn $50 bill. Your friends aren't impressed when you break it out – if you had real money you'd have a $100 bill. It's saying, "ooh, look at me – I don't have normal denominations of currency, but I'm not quite rich enough to have that bad-ass $100 bill. I'm just gonna settle for a $50, as if you're gonna be impressed with that." I'm over you, $50 bill.
That said, it's perfect for bribing hotel desk clerks for a suite.
There you go – next week, Top 5 US Coin Denominations for February!

No sleep
Walls/floors must be paper thin cos I heard everything including an incessant water dripping/pipe noise.
The staff were friendly enough but the hotel decor is just so clinical felt like I was sleeping in the warehouse bit at ikea, there was also a crack in the wall and hair in the shower. I know it was NYE but the price for the experience we had is just not ok :(

During a meeting with educational administrators today, Lisa and I were asked a question that we hear over and over again. Every time, it goes something like this: "How do I help my English, (Math, Social Studies, Reading, Science, etc.) teacher work with the ESL students in his/her classroom?" They go on to explain that their teachers don't know what to do.
One unique book that addresses this very important issue is "Every Teacher's Toolkit – Closing the Achievement Gap for English Learners" by Karen Kwaguchi (Pearson-Longman). This is a great book for teachers who have little or no experience with ELLs. It includes lots of basics like a description of ELL language proficiency levels, a glossary of commonly used terms in English language teaching, and tips on teaching academic vocabulary. Each unit includes mini-lessons, useful graphic organizers and insights on ESL methodology.
Content area teachers need to be reminded that every teacher is a language teacher and every lesson they teach includes a language component. At the same time, we need to provide all teachers with strategies that will enable the English Language Learner to access the content of each lesson. This is the basic premise for The SIOP Model (The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) created by D. Short, M.Vogt and J. Echevarria (Pearson-Allyn&Bacon/Merrill). Visit http://www.siopinstitute.net/ for more information.
The SIOP model is "a scientifically validated model of sheltered instruction designed to make grade-level academic content understandable for English learners while at the same time developing their English language. The protocol and lesson planning guide ensure that teachers are consistently implementing practices known to be effective for English learners." -from the SIOP Model for Administrators, 2008
Of course, I know there are no quick fixes or easy answers on training all teachers to effectively address the educational needs of English Language Learners. The good news is that the right questions are being asked, which means better instruction for all ELLs in the long run.

3012X6SR - Snapper 30" Rear-Engine Rider, 12HP, Extra Tough Series 6
To create a thick, healthy lawn with deep root structure perform the following; fall fertilization, short mowing in early spring to encourage growth, taller mowing in the hot months, mulching (not bagging) and watering deeply and infrequently (only when the lawn needs it) in the early morning hours. Keeping your mower well tuned and your blades sharp will assure a clean cut and reduce emissions.


text: UK Diving Services Ltd have secured a diving survey of Lobnitz Dock on the tidal Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Our underwater surveyors are to provide detailed information on the dock walls and adjacent seabed. The wall inspection will include a 2D sonar sweep to identify targets showing areas of concern and better understand bed levels along the walls. Visibility is very limited within the Clyde tidal waterway and sonar is an excellent back up to any diving survey. All UK Diving Services surveys are backed with free complimentary 2D sonar imagery. 3D acoustic sonar is also available POA.
