Government Power Used to Protect Corruption
When one of the most respected radiologists in America – the former head of the radiology department at Yale University – attempted to blow the whistle on the fact that the FDA had approved a medical device manufactured by General Electric because it put out massive amounts of radiation, the FDA installed spyware to record his private emails and surfing activities (including installing cameras to snap pictures of his screen), and then used the information to smear him and other whistleblowers:
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident, but standard operating procedure. For example, whistleblowers are routinely fired before they can get publicize wrongdoing … and then smeared as "disgruntled former employees".
The Pentagon recently smeared USA Today reporters for investigating illegal Pentagon propaganda.
The White House tried to smear scientists who found underwater oil plumes caused by the BP oil spill.
Nixon broke into the office of whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist in an attempt to smear him, and the government is doing everything it can to smear the sexuality of both Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, and:
As Ellsberg himself has repeatedly pointed out, this is the same sleazy strategy employed by Nixon to personally smear whistleblowers and demonize their psyches in order to discredit the substance of their disclosures and make it uncomfortable for anyone to support them. And it works.
In an effort to protect Bank of America from the threatened Wikileaks expose of wrongdoing – the Department of Justice told Bank of America to a hire a specific hardball-playing law firm to assemble a team to take down WikiLeaks (and see this).
The Bush White House worked hard to smear CIA officers, bloggers and anyone else who criticized the Iraq war.
The FBI smeared top scientists who pointed out the numerous holes in its anthrax case.
The government uses agent provocateurs to discredit peaceful protesters.
Indeed, economist Murry Rothbard noted:
Anytime that a hard-nosed analysis is put forth of who our rulers are, of how their political and economic interests interlock, it is invariably denounced by Establishment liberals and conservatives (and even by many libertarians) as a "conspiracy theory of history," "paranoid," "economic determinist," and even "Marxist." These smear labels are applied across the board, even though such realistic analyses can be, and have been, made from any and all parts of the economic spectrum, from the John Birch Society to the Communist Party. The most common label is "conspiracy theorist," almost always leveled as a hostile epithet rather than adopted by the "conspiracy theorist" himself.
And see this.
In fact, anyone who questions the government in any way can be smeared with the label of "potential terrorist". And government apologists are eager to label anyone "taking a cynical stance toward politics, mistrusting authority, endorsing democratic practices, … and displaying an inquisitive, imaginative outlook" as worthy of a Stalinist trip to the insane asylum.
Smear tactics are only one of the whistleblowers' concerns. The fact that the government is aggressively prosecuting whistleblowers – but refusing to prosecute the actual criminal activity which is destroying our country – shows where the government's priorities lie.

Keeping a lawn in check these days isn't really that hard. It's actually good exercise to get out and spend a couple hours primping the lawn and making sure the exterior of the house stays appealing and nice.
Keeping a lawn in check these days isn't really that hard. It's actually good exercise to get out and spend a couple hours primping the lawn and making sure the exterior of the house stays appealing and nice.
That is unless you have an old-fashioned reel mower like me. Then mowing the lawn becomes a challenge from "The Biggest Loser" rather than a simple chore.
I always found this classic lawn mower an interesting piece of equipment. It started out as my grandfather's, and when my parents got married, he passed it on to his new son-in-law, my dad, just to have as something extra in the garage in case his power mower went out or if all the yard of their new house, the home they still reside in to this day, needed a simple trim.
Little did I know that a good decade and a half after learning how to mow the lawn with this vintage machine –– nicely equipped with the twisted metal that ultimately flattened the grass so it could be sliced up by the sharp edge at my feet –– would one day be sitting in my own garage as my only means to a trim and semi-appeasing lawn.
Kind of funny how this fascinating device that caught my eye as we spruced the lawn one summer day eventually became mine. I always thought it was neat how the swirling pieces of intricately placed metal squealed and squeaked as it threw back the shaved pieces of grass. It was fun at first, but now I've come to realize that these old-fashioned mowers are quite the hassle.
Lawn care didn't really become a frequent job for me until I reached my college days at Northwest Missouri State. I would mow the lawn and do yard work for my adviser, Laura, and the chairwoman of the mass communications department, Jody, for what added up to maybe a good $40 to $60 a week, depending on time and, of course, the weather.
It was a cinch. I'd walk a few blocks off campus to their neighborhood because they only lived two houses apart, and I was provided with the tools to do the job. The lawn mower was self-propelled and the trimmer was quite impressive with its powerful motor. After a sweep of the driveway and a raking of the loose grass, I earned enough money for some gas and typical college-night fun out on the town.
Soon the big day came, and I entered the world of life. And when I settled here in Hannibal, Mo., I had gained the responsibility of taking care of my own lawn. Not having much to purchase my own lawn mower just yet, to the old reel mower I went.
Being the oldest of three kids, I figured I would get first dibs since my brothers were still in college. I did, and now that the warmer weather has arrived, I can honestly say that I'd give anything to have Jody's lawn mower back.
Never have I ever had to consistently mow a patch of heavy, thick grass over and over again just so it can get down to the same level as the rest of lawn. The twisted metal seems to spin like the blades of boat motor with little success. But after the hundredth time I push and push, the length of the grass begins to dissipate.
You might say I'm in a little bit of an "era shock" because I know years ago, these were the kind of mowers everyone had. Power mowers were a big expense. Folks were used to the difficult work because this is all they had.
But I think knowing that an easier way to mow, not to mention a better option of mowers, is out there, and I think about it as I push and grunt my way through the process of mincing my lawn.
Perhaps one day I'll get a hold of a power mower, gas or electric, new or used, doesn't really matter compared with this ancient one I'm using now. But until then, I'll keep chopping away.

I've always been partial to powered speakers for desktops and bookshelves. I would even be partial to powered floor speakers, though I haven't come across any. I guess that's because I failed to use Google.
Audioengine A2+ desktop loudspeaker
Audioengine's A2+ will offer several attractive upgrades over the original A2, including a built-in 16-bit DAC, RCA output, beefier binding posts, a revised power supply, a mini-XLR power connector, and improved bass response. While the original A2 sold for a crazily attractive $199/pair, the A2+ should sell for $249/pairsweet.
The Audioengine A2+ should be available in about three months. I think it'll look really nice on my new desktop. Ms. Little might even like it.

ARLINGTON — The death toll has climbed to 24 after a massive mudslide near Oso on Saturday.
On Tuesday, rescuers had recovered 16 victims and located the remains of at least eight more people in the debris field, Arlington Rural Fire Chief Travis Hots told reporters at an evening press conference.
Local, state and federal resources are focused now on looking for human life and finding others still trapped inside the square-mile field of devastation. No survivors have been rescued since Saturday, when the soggy hill collapsed and buried the rural Steelhead Drive neighborhood.
Roughly a dozen survivors remain hospitalized from their injuries.
Pools of water in the debris are up to six feet deep, with conditions worsened by a steady stream of rainfall Tuesday, said Hots, who appeared weary. In spots, it's been like quicksand. In others, slick like ice.
"Now, it's just a slurry again," he said.
More than 200 trained rescuers are expected to be at work by daybreak Wednesday. Dogs are being used to locate bodies. The dogs, plus "bare hands and shovels," have been the most effective ways of finding people, Hots said.
That's different from the scene on Saturday, when crews in Snohomish County rescue helicopters were able to pluck people out to safety.
One rescue worker was taken to a hospital Tuesday after being hit in the head by debris kicked up by the blades of a helicopter. The worker had minor injuries, according to the sheriff's office.
In addition to emergency shelters, an assistance center was being set up on Tuesday for the families of the known dead. Officials have not been releasing the names of those recovered in an effort to first scientifically confirm identities and notify families.
State and federal rescue and recovery teams were welcomed by weary crews who have been working at the slide for days, Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary said.
"They're there. They're on site. They're going to stay up there," he said.
911 calls
The neighbors' house was gone. The road was gone. Everything was gone: everything but the river, and the mud and the screams.
The first few 911 calls are haunting, as neighbors along Highway 530 called in for help during the first few moments. The 911 audio recordings were released as public records Tuesday afternoon.
The first caller says, "There is a creek that has washed out 530. There is the roof of a house on 530."
Another: "There's power lines down … holy crap. There's at least two, three miles of 530. It's blocked completely."
Another: "I don't think there's anybody in what's left of this barn."
"I can't believe this. Oh my God. We need everybody."
Some neighbors thought it was an earthquake. Hundreds of trees flowed by. A woman saw a car get buried.
"There are people here screaming for help," another woman told dispatchers. "They're in the middle of the mud. Their house is not a house."
A man in the 29400 block of the highway saw multiple houses get taken out, including his next-door neighbor's place.
"It's collapsed on several of them, and they're trapped," he said. "I can hear them tapping underneath and yelling at us. There's several of them in a group under debris and the roof of the house."
A long road ahead
Searching through the debris is an effort that likely will take weeks, but "we are going to do our very best to get everybody out of there," Hots said.
Washington Military Department spokeswoman Karina Shagren said the National Guard contingent consists of a search-and-extraction team of 50 people and a fatality search-and-recovery team of 11. The National Guard brought heavy equipment and the teams are skilled in complicated structural rescue and mortuary-related work.
"We are bringing all the resources we have to the horrific situation," said Trenary, the county sheriff. "I am proud of my folks. We are working on behalf of the families that are missing loved ones."
Crews still were holding out hope of finding more survivors, said John Pennington, who heads Snohomish County's Department of Emergency Management.
Some tentative work has begun into determining exactly why the hillside cut loose Saturday. Among other things, officials are looking for a connection to a small earthquake in the area on March 10, Pennington said.
Neighbors there have long been aware of the possibility of slides, Pennington said. That said, there was no way to know what was coming on Saturday.
"I want to know why this slide went, too," he said.
Officials are continuing to investigate reports of missing people, determining who is actually lost. They expect the list, at one point reported as containing 176 names, to shrink substantially as the days pass.
The sheriff's office was providing detectives who are experts on missing-persons cases to help focus the effort.
"Healing has to take place. Grieving has to take place. And that's community wide," Pennington said.
New technology also was being used to "ping" the cellphones of people missing in the debris to try to give searchers more detailed information about their locations.
Emergency officials thanked everyone hoping to help in the search, but they decided to rely on local men and women. Part of the decision involved logistics and the dangerous conditions, Hots said. The local volunteers have special skills, training and knowledge of the terrain.
He visited some of his crews at the site on Tuesday.
"It is just unimaginable the conditions out there that they're dealing with … It is just amazing the magnitude and the force of what this slide has done," Hots said.
Special rescue teams
A team of about 120 firefighters from throughout Snohomish County train together year-round on technical rescues involving collapsed buildings and confined spaces.
Many of the crews have been deployed to Oso the past few days, including Monroe firefighters who are highly trained in technical rescues, said Erik Liddiatt, a Monroe fire battalion chief.
The crews are equipped with special equipment to find people in "voids" — air pockets underneath rubble where it is possible to survive. They use metal cylinders and inflatable air bags to prop up collapsed buildings, said Monroe Fire Chief Jamie Silva.
They have small cameras and audio-recording devices that can slip into tight spaces to look and listen for life, "in all directions, up, down, side to side," Liddiatt said.
The county team always believed the disaster they were training for would be an earthquake. That's what emergency-management folks had predicted for decades.
"None of us have ever been to a call like this. It's what we talk about, what we train for, if we have a big earthquake, we always thought that was going to be our big emergency," he said. "I don't think you can prepare for it. I think once you're on scene you have a clear direction for what your task is."
The crews are trained to search through debris systematically to avoid confusion, Liddiatt said.
People can live for a few days in an air pocket, he said, but the weight of the debris in the slide could count against them.
The team's equipment includes heavy-duty saws, thermal-imaging cameras, air-quality testing kits and respirators, Silva said.
They train together in part because no one agency has all the resources needed for a major emergency, Silva said.
"We rely on our neighbors. We do the same thing with tech rescue and haz-mat," Silva said. "When the big event happens, we're going to work there, like now."
Darrington reconnected
Internet and phone service were restored to Darrington on Monday night. Facebook and social media buzzed with comments from people upset by the slow pace of recovery efforts, and from being kept out of the debris field.
Jeff Anderson, who owns and operates Three Rivers Cutting in Darrington, volunteered his entire 22-man-strong workforce, and his fleet of five front and backhoe shovels, and three feller bunchers, to work at the recovery site. But Anderson said he's only been able to get a small fraction of the equipment and operators to where they're needed.
"The clock is ticking and we need heavy equipment down there to pick up trees and buildings," Anderson said. "Everything they've called and asked for we have."
Anderson said he's not sure who's at fault.
"I don't want to blame (Darrington mayor) Danny (Rankin) but it's become too political. It's a communication thing," Anderson said Tuesday night. "Two days ago we were talking about this and I'm still trying to get my crew to the site. We're not getting any answers."
It's not just getting equipment to the site that's become a problem. Anderson said that Sheriff's officers have threatened volunteers with tickets for parking near the site.
"All the bodies that have been recovered have been recovered by us, by Oso loggers," Anderson said. "They're not letting locals get in there to help. I understand it's a safety thing, but it's frustrating."
For three days the townsfolk snuck onto the debris field to search for friends and loved ones, defying government warnings to stay clear of the treacherous terrain.
On Tuesday 90 people signed up as volunteers, and some were invited to join the search.
Teams of volunteers were paired with firefighters whose job was to help look out for their safety.
Rain and road conditions proved to be challenging. Nearly a half an inch of rain fell on Tuesday, bringing the total so far this month to 16 inches.
Dayn Brunner was among the searchers. His sister, Summer Raffo, 36, is among the missing.
The carnage is hard to comprehend, the Tulalip police officer said. Cars were crushed into balls of metal the size of washing machines.
It was hard to spot clues, he said, because everything seems to be the same muddy hue.
Brunner helped with the sifting, lifting boards from homes that had been reduced to splinters so the rescue dogs could do their job.
For Brunner it was more than a search for bodies. He was looking for memories, too.
His team salvaged a wedding dress, a diploma and a photo album.
"Your life is your memories," he said.
Meanwhile, the town of 4,000 has its main road to jobs, hospitals and the rest of "down below" cut off indefinitely. There were mixed reports about alternate access along the Mountain Loop Highway. Crews with graders and snowplows were clearing snow from the route, which links to Granite Falls. The road could reopen Thursday, according to the state.
Help pours in
Fundraisers are being held at schools, grocery stores, hospitals and other groups. Many are turning to Facebook and other social media sites to share thoughts and concerns.
Members of the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe put a blanket out for donations, and started putting money on the blanket, said Cindy White, a U.S. Forest Service public affairs specialist. The tribe had already donated $5,000 to help families affected by the slide as of Tuesday, she said.
The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians on Tuesday donated $100,000 to help, Arlington Mayor Barb Tolbert said.
The Tulalip Tribes donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross of Snohomish County to assist with shelter, food and basic needs for the survivors and families, and $50,000 to a victims' fund administered by the Cascade Valley Hospital Health Foundation.
"We share our deep condolences with everyone affected by this tragedy, which is heartfelt throughout our community. We hope this donation will aid people as they grieve and work to rebuild their lives," Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon said.
United Way of Snohomish County has set up a Disaster Recovery Fund for Mudslide Relief, with $25,000 from its endowment and $50,000 from JPMorgan Chase.
Survivors and families
Officials asked that people still use the special number that has been set up — 425-388-5088 — if they are trying to find loved ones, or want to report someone missing, or to ask about temporary shelter. There also is an email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. As the week wears on, the call center will have fewer hours and will become a recorded tipline rather than being answered by volunteers, Pennington said.
A hotline also been set up for everyone who needs counseling: 800-584-3578.
On Tuesday morning, 6-month-old Duke Suddarth remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. His mother, Amanda Skorjanc, 25, was in satisfactory condition.
Three others injured in the slide remained in intensive care. Two men, 81 and 37, were reported in serious condition, but improving. A 37-year-old was reported in serious condition. One patient also remained in stable condition at the hospital in Arlington, and others remain at hospitals in Snohomish and Skagit counties.
Timothy G. Ward, 58, a fire commissioner in Oso and Boeing worker, also was listed in serious condition.
Co-workers said his wife, Brandy, was among the missing. Their home was swept away in the mudslide.
The response from Arlington and surrounding areas so far has shown "a city and a community at its absolute best," Snohomish County Executive John Lovick told reporters on Tuesday.

Meet & Eat: Carl Warner, Food Photographer
Carl Warner has made a living out of playing with food—and a good one at that. Originally a successful still life photographer in the advertising game of the late 1990s, the past ten years have been spent developing a body of work unlike any other: making lush and realistic food landscapes out of everyday foods.
It all started in the fall of 1999. Warner was on the prowl for something new and fresh that would set him apart from the pack. Transforming portobello mushrooms into the curving trunks and parasol canopies of trees from the African Savannah—that sounded like something that'd set him apart.
After buying the mushrooms at the market, he took them back to his studio (along with bulgur, wheat, rice, and beans to be used as stony ground cover) to create his first food landscape. Now over a decade later, they are all over the internet.
Warner's book Food Landscapes, a collection of his scenes, many of which were commissioned by international advertising agencies, was just published. Warner takes inspiration from Tessa Traeger's book Visual Feast and Ansel Adams' sprawling landscapes. The British photographer has been busy gearing up for his appearance at the Chocolate Show in November where his chocolate train will be making an appearance, but he took the time to chat with us.
Did you know much about food before doing your landscapes, and what have you learned about food since? Over the past ten years, I've learned to be as creative in the kitchen as I am in my studio. There are aspects of presentation and visual compatibility that really inspire me to try the corresponding taste combinations, but it doesn't always work out. Sometimes what looks good together, tastes good together—and that makes for an unusual and interesting approach to cooking.
What are the easiest or most dependable foods to work with? Anything that will last several hours on set is good. My biggest problem is wilting, especially with fresh herbs. Things like coriander and flat leaf parsley only last for a few minutes, so they get placed in the shot at the last minute to catch them at their best. I tend to use a lot of curly kale; it looks good for hours and creates a lot of ground cover.
What is the average food budget for each shot? A few hundred pounds, but it can vary drastically depending on the size of the scene and how expensive or exotic the ingredients are. Obviously a scene using lobsters is going to cost more than one with cabbage. There's more polystyrene in the scenes than food; I've learned to build with it more in order to use less food.
Tell me about your creative process: do you start with a concept first or does inspiration randomly strike while at the market? It varies. I have a sketchbook full of ideas and drawings of details or wider scenes. Inspiration can come from visiting a place or seeing it in a film, on the web, or in a magazine. It can come from wandering around the supermarket, the farmers' market, or from eating in a restaurant. I don't mind where they come from, so long as they come. Once an idea is conceived in my head, I pin it down on paper. The drawing then becomes the blueprint for the shot and I show it to my team.
How much of each image would you say is lighting and other affects and how much is just getting creative with the food? It's fifty-fifty. The lighting creates the mood and atmosphere, and shows the food in its best light. But it's the composition, arrangement, and presentation that creates a sense of place.
What is your favorite image in your new book? Fishscape. It was the most difficult scene to build and by far the smelliest. We had to get the shot done in one day because of the smell and the freshness of the fish. The cold lighting and the composition make it look very convincing. I still never tire of looking at it
Do you have any rules for each photo? For example, does a certain percentage have to be vegetables or fruit, etc? I don't really have any rules, though I do like to create scenes of particular places or parts of the world using ingredients from that area.
Do you ever see yourself moving away from this type of food photography? I've already started creating images using non-food things, such as clothes or cities made of nuts and bolts or office equipment. If I ever get tired of doing this or if I run out of ideas and start repeating myself, it will be time to move on. Thankfully, I still have plenty of images in my sketchbooks that are waiting to be brought to life.

text: I've read the review posted at HC but I'm still unclear about the Texture Stage part. Is 3DLabs really saying that they can handle 8 texture stages/cycle and each texture/light map/bum map/etc. is only one texture stage? This would be astounding since everyone else is working on dual texturing and most take a performance hit in doing so. In addition, does this also mean 8 OGL actions can be performed per cycle?? I couldn't find the email for those who did the interview so I'm hoping someone at this site knows. Any other info on when we might see some tests of the Permedia 3 would be great. I assume the world (and 3DLabs) is waiting on someone to finish the fab process right now. Thanks.

A Dairy Queen employee has scored some serious points for his customer service skills.
Joey Prusak, 19, was working at a Hopkins, Minnesota Dairy Queen earlier this month when he came to the aid of a blind customer after another customer took a $20 bill the blind man dropped.
The blind customer dropped the bill while he pulled out his ATM card and the other customer picked up the money and put it in her purse. That's when Prusak sprang into action: "I told her 'Ma'am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I'm not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.'"
The woman did exit the store, but didn't return the cash, so Prusak took his good deed to a whole other level when he took $20 from his own pocket and handed it to the blind man.
The whole thing may have been forgotten had it not been for yet another customer who witnessed the scene and wrote an email to Prusak's manager praising him. The email has gone viral and Prusak has become a hero to people across the nation.
Business at the store is now booming, while Prusak has gotten job offers and has received big tips. Still, he's not getting a big head because of all the attention he's receiving for his good deed. He said, "I did it without even really thinking about it….Ninety-nine out of 100 people would've done the same thing as me."
Prusak, who's worked at this Dairy Queen since he was 14, plans to save money to study business management.
Looks like he's on the right track.

Arab states have pledged 653 million dollars to support the Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation, Palestinian finance minister Zohdi al-Nashashibi said in CairoThursday.
An Arab summit on October 22 decided to set up two funds worth 1 billion dollars to help the Palestinians cope with the economic repercussions of eight weeks of Israeli-Palestinians clashes.
Nashashibi said so far Saudi Arabia has offered 250 million dollars, Kuwait and the UAE 150 million each, Qatar 50 million, Algeria 30 million, Oman and Yemen 10 million each, Jordan two million and Sudan one million.
All amounts except those pledged by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were promised at a gathering of Arab finance ministers here Thursday, which was discussing ways to implement the Arab summit's decision.
Nashashibi said the Palestinians "urgently need" an estimated 245 million dollars to be able to survive the "serious economic crisis created by Israel's siege on the Palestinian territories."
Of that amount, 60 million dollars were needed to pay outstanding wages, 60 million to help those who have lost their jobs, 65 million to help create new job opportunities for them, 40 million for urgent health and education spending and 20 million to families whose houses have been destroyed in Israeli raids.
Palestinian international cooperation minister Nabil Shaath complained that a month after the Arab summit only 30 million dollars had reached the Palestinian territories from other Arab countries.
Shaath demanded a mechanism managing the funds to be based inside the Palestinian territories to prevent Israel from controlling the money and its use.
"We'd like our Arab donors to have in Palestine an organization that supervises the spending, and we want an international auditing agency to audit every penny," he said.
"But we'd like at the same time a mechanism that can dispense as quickly as possible with money," especially the money for families of victims, he said.

Systematically kicking booté
My running coach, SR, has been on my case for weeks now to run my miles without a Garmin. "When you're nearing the end of you're mile, you look like a complete idiot the way you waste your energy checking your Garmin," he says. I am grateful for my daily dose of humility. Today my Garmin ran out of battery. Luckily I have memorized where the miles end and know the lines on the bike path by heart. I was afraid I would go more slowly, being unaware of my pace, but the exact opposite was true.
My first mile was 6:22, tied with my mile PR. The second was uphill and 6:36. Third, holding steady at 6:29. After the fourth at 6:49, I was feeling a bit wiped, but saw a female runner run by me right after I stopped. I gave her a 3 minute head start and then took off after her in my fourth interval along the same route. I wasn't sure I could catch her, but as I reached the half way point, there she was. God, I pushed it. If I was going to pass her, I wanted to pass her at the fastest speed she had ever seen a female run in her life. So I did pass her, visibly and audibly struggling, and then at the end of the 6:36 mile, my legs were shaking so much that I fell over into the dirt. As she passed me, she looked kindly and inquisitively and said "Det ser hårdt ud." Literally, "that looks hard out". The Danes. I was complete toast for the last mile and could only do a 7:04. But how pleased I was that this was my best average time yet!
The summary:
6 x 1 mile:
The Nike Test Half Marathon is this Sunday. My preview and plan for how to run a steady pace and PR will be the subject of my next post. In other news...

Have any of you run across blog posts that resemble the following: "I have received a year's supply of compression running tights direct from the wonderful company, _________ , I will enter you in a drawing to win one pair if you visit said company's website, tell which product of theirs you like best and then add yourself as a follower to my blog." Am I the only one who throws up in their mouth upon reading this? I have read another almost carbon copy blog post, offered by a different blogger, this time sponsored by GU. Let me just say, if I were so lucky to out of the blue receive a year's supply of GU, I would enjoy it, share it with SR and give it or send to all of my closest running friends. Luring in superficial followers to my blog doesn't excite me quite as much. So running companies, you've had fair warning. These gimmicks are crap. I am no whore, at least not in the blog world.
Running song of the day: DJ by Alphabeat (if you listen carefully to this guy's amazing Danish accent, you may understand how I ended up here)

"at least in the blog world" you're not a whore, eh? Yet you still tease me with your accent (the one in boote', not that quasi-jutlandshouldbegerman spoken accent of yours).
I just sent you a rough draft of my chapter for your book. You can leave payment on the dresser on your way out.
BTW, welcome to my world of sprint and eat dirt!

Ha I like Steve Q's sense of humor :)
I have a question re your last post (which I enjoyed). I'm wondering what is the hormonal effect of hard exercise (re endorphins, adrenaline, cortisol perhaps) on the body's hormones re: fertility? Is there not a chance it could impact the thyroid or pituitary and therefore the estrogen/progesterone levels? I'm told it's more and more common for women to have sub-clinical hypothyroid (ok I'm one) which can cause issues of fertility. And whilst it's only one variable of many possible ones, I'm wondering if increased exercise makes women more predisposed to this reduced thyroid function eg. my extended family's history and ability to fall pregnant has been second to none - until my sister and I came along - we are both athletes, both healthy BMI, regular periods...both still TTC with all bar the thyroid given the a-ok...anyway I'm not a doctor, just wondering...? Good luck in the Nike run!

PS. No one else in the family would ever consider themselves "athletic" hence the difference between my sister and I and them....

You were one of the people I thought of when I wrote that last post. But to be honest, this question is a little out of my league. I will say that stress can cause irregular menstrual cycles and that stress in itself raises cortisol, which I would not doubt impact fertility. But I personally have not seen evidence that strenuous exercise in itself reduces fertility. And evolutionarily and medically it does not make sense to me that it would. BUT, I have looked at lot more into the pregnancy issue than the fertility one. I will look it up on PubMed tomorrow and see if I can't learn more. But for a definitive answer to exactly how and to what degree it impacts fertility, I may need to defer to an endocrinologist.

throwing up... in your mouth? oh yuck, that's an image I'll carry with me for awhile.
I am really impressed with your recovery from the 50 miler. What, if anything, is the secret? How many days did you take completely off after race day? I am still toast from my 12 km (how pathetic!). So... are you almost ready to post your marathon prediction?

I need to start incorporating more quality.
It annoys me too when people schill crap on their blogs and it's because they're being sponsored. Hardly seems unbiased.

Steve Q, I don't recall writing anything about a "boote'". Or were you referring to "booté"?
I found a really great Norwegian study, the 2009 Physical activity and fertility in women: the North-Trøndelag Health Study by Godmondsdottir (spelled differently and not related to Björk). Excercising any amount, even every day, gives less chance of infertility than no exercise at all. BUT women who excercise frequently "to the point of exhaustion" have a 2.3 x odds ratio of infertility. They DID NOT control for BMI or menstrual irregularity. So there are some unanswered questions, but an interesting study. I would just add that if I were to fill out a survey like this, I would never say I excercise "to the point of exhaustion" because I feel so envigorated at the end. Makes me wonder if these women aren't suffering from another health problem.
Piccola, I am also wondering what the secret to my recovery was. I ran a 26 minute 5k and swam 40 laps 2 days after the race, feeling awesome. I have run every day since then, though only 2 hard days. As I have said before, the recovery time is shortened after each ultra.
Danni, I did write that post because I wanted to see more frickin' quality out of your blog. I'm kidding of course and just had to write the extremely dorky word, frickin'.

Crap, I freaking hate it when I am ready to post a comment and hit some key that deletes all of my thoughtful writings!!!
Lets try again, with less enthusiasm. SLG, if you puke, collapse in a dirt and have legs shaking badly - you ARE getting yourself to exhaustion.
As far as I am aware, watching elite runners and reading about many of their training, interval repeats are supposed to get faster with time progression, and they don't really "drop dead" on them.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the idea behind intervals is to keep them at even pace and be able to squeeze one more if needed. Puking and collapsing is for the race - what those elites usually do. What's the point of getting one PR in training and then forgoing the rest of the session in terms of quality?
What do I know, though? I only ran a 6:20 mile once, and it WAS in a race, on a 200m indoor track championship, 5 days after my first 50k, and I did kind of toppled over, but stayed upright and gained composure about 20 seconds later. It was a fun memory, one I'll never be able to reproduce:)
As for blog contacts - I get those emails rather very often, at times for products, and at times to post about upcoming events. I only do it if I believe in what I am writing about. And since I am pretty set on what I am using, there is no reason to post about new stuff - but if I like something, I have no problems saying it. And trust me, I don't talk about every company that provides me with stuff - I am pretty quiet about half of them, bless their little hearts:)

I give up. I even use "curriculum vitae" rather than "re(accent grave)sume(accent acute)." I suppose I'll have to learn to type some day.

- cherelli said...
Thanks SLG...I'm actually starting to do a bit more exercise this week because I see your point...something else may be going on...and it feels so good to have more oxygen moving through my lungs and body :) Soon my pants and I will stop fighting hopefully too!!

Olga, I'm so glad you persisted in writing despite the hardship. I have had that happen WAY too many times with the accidental comment erase. Anyway, you are probably right that most women interpreted "exhaustion" the same way you did, though I would like to know the word they used in Norwegian. Anyway, I WAS exhausted after Hells Hills. Make no mistake.
Steve Q, it is now official that it is a GOOD thing you can't use accents on you computer, since you don't know how to use them anyway. It is résumé and not rèsumé (there is no accent grave! Only aigu.)
Cherelli, this is a tough issue. I shouldn't claim to be any sort of expert. But at the same time, I am happy you're going to get more into exercising, because I know you love it. Do it because you enjoy it and it feels good. And if that IS exactly what you do, I refuse to believe it will lower your chances of pregnancy.
Sometimes I wish a fertility expert would chime in with a comment...

Sitting on the ferry to from Holyhead to Dublin, 24 hours after leaving Amsterdam by train (having flown overnight from Mpls), I am writing my first draft of the story for your book!
It seems more like a run though childhood memories than a running route story but I'll send along soon anyway and see what you think!
Also, good post! I agree with Olga that you need to start calling this speedwork and not interval training :) But great job! Gotta love that so soon after the 50 miler.

Oh, that makes me so happy. Sounds like exactly what I had in mind for the book. I am glad you are enjoying it!
Good thing you flew out of Amsterdam and not Copehangen since our airport is closed due to the Ejfjallajokull volcano on Iceland.
What are you doing back in Europe again?

The Bark centrepiece was designed by Michel Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui. Both of Belgian origin, the designers have been inspired by the place where they live: Casa Boucquillon in Tuscany, a place of experimentation, meditation and work where they live at one with nature. As suggested by its name, the item brings to mind tree bark. The fretwork recalls knots in wood, the concave and elongated shape is reminiscent of the structure of a trunk. The result is a highly poetic yet functional object: the perforated part makes it suitable to keep fruit fresh, as if the fruit was in the baskets made of woven branches or bark, used in the country for the harvest. Its modelled design and large dimensions make it suitable for use as both a container and a centrepiece.
Born in Belgium in 1962. In 1988 he won the competition of the CHAMBER OF EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT in Brussels which signed the beginning of his Architectural and Design career. In '2000, he opened a new workshop dedicated to Industrial Design and experimental Architecture in Lucca - Tuscany in his "CASA BOUCQUILLON", extremely experimental place of exploration, meditation, live and work. Michel actually works for the world most famous International Design companies: Alessi, Artemide, Antoniolupi, Serralunga, Martinelliluce. His work is present in several Museums and got many of the main international Awards, recently: Menzione d'Onore Compasso d'Oro 2011, Good Design Award 2008, Design Plus 2006. Donia Maaoui, Michel's wife and an architect herself, works alongside her husband on some of the Alessi and Martinelliluce projects, although her principal occupation is cast bronze sculpture and painting.

Cancer fight … Dr Charlie Teo and Mick Gatto.It was an unlikely combination, but controversial brain surgeon Dr Charlie Teo is happy Melbourne underworld figure Mick Gatto came through with the goods – a $673,263 cheque to fund research in the fight against brain cancer.
Mr Gatto, who is no stranger to controversy himself, presented Dr Teo the money on Thursday night at the Four Seasons hotel in Sydney, after a gala dinner attended by 1200 people in Melbourne earlier this month.
But Mr Gatto, who earlier this week was seated at the Danny Green world boxing title fight in Melbourne with a litany of underworld figures and bikies, denies he is attempting to buy respectability by over the years making significant contributions to numerous charities, including raising $1 million for firefighters in April 2009.
"I did what I had to do for a great man, Dr Teo," Mr Gatto said.
This tale of two cities started earlier this year when Dr Teo saved the mother of one of Mr Gatto's friends.
Dr Teo, the director of Sydney's Centre for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, is held in high esteem, but has been knocked for carrying out radical surgery on tumours that other doctors consider inoperable.
A delighted Dr Teo said the odd coupling, when first reported in the Sun-Herald in July, brought a great deal of criticism. But he is used to the critics.
"My career has been full of malicious rumours, hyperbole and falsified stories over the years. It's hurtful and at times makes me wonder about how humans can be so cruel," he said.
"I was subject to criticism from friends and colleagues for teaming up with Mick. But associating with him, he's been nothing but a gentlemen.
"They said morally how can you take money from Mick, but morally how can I not fight cancer."
Mr Gatto and business partner John Khoury, along with Angelo "Fat Ange" Venditti, are currently being followed by a film crew doing a documentary on Melbourne suburb Carlton that inspired an Underbelly season.
This story Administrator ready to work first appeared on Nanjing Night Net.

More tests needed for cause of Monteith's death
The cause of "Glee" actor Cory Monteith's death remained unclear Monday, and authorities in Canada said it could take several days before toxicology test results are in.
The cause of "Glee" actor Cory Monteith's death remained unclear Monday, and authorities in Canada said it could take several days before toxicology test results are in.
Vancouver police Sgt. Randy Fincham said there's nothing to indicate the death was due to illicit drug use.
Monteith, 31, was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday, according to police, who have ruled out foul play.
Police said Monteith had been out with people earlier, but video and electronic records from the hotel indicated he returned to his room by himself early Saturday. He was believed to be alone when he died.
Monteith's passing recalls the lives of Heath Ledger, Corey Haim and River Phoenix — actors who battled substance abuse and died in their 20s and 30s. Monteith talked bluntly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was "lucky to be alive."
Monteith admitted himself to a treatment facility in April for substance addiction and asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, a representative said at the time. Lea Michele, Monteith's "Glee" co-star and real-life girlfriend, told People magazine that she loved and supported him and was proud he was seeking help. It was not Monteith's first time in rehab. He also received treatment when he was 19.
The Fox network and the producers of "Glee," including 20th Century Fox Television, called Monteith an exceptional performer "and an even more exceptional person." Michele asked for privacy upon hearing the news of his death.
A makeshift memorial emerged outside the Vancouver hotel. (hash)RipCoryMonteith and (hash)StayStrongLea became trending topics on Twitter.
In England, what was supposed to be a weekend celebration of "Glee" turned into an impromptu memorial after news of Monteith's death rocked a fan convention.
"The news was devastating. No one had any idea what to say or do," said Chloe Harvey, an 18-year-old fan from Portsmouth, England. "It just shows how much of a truly amazing guy Cory was that everyone was so shocked and emotional about the news."
"Glee," with its catchy song-and-dance numbers and high-profile guest stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears, became an instant hit when it debuted in 2009 and made celebrities of Montieth and the rest of the relatively unknown cast.
Monteith served as the show's resident hunk with a heart of gold. He played Finn Hudson, a football quarterback with two left feet who found more camaraderie in the choir room than on the football field. After his character graduated high school, Hudson sought out to find himself before settling on what he wanted to do with his life: become a teacher and mentor.

A Rare Chevy Ragtop Built With Resto-Rod Style
Just the Facts
Year: 1937
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Cabriolet
Owner: Chuck & Judy Dailey
State: Ohio
If Chuck Dailey had found the car he'd been looking for, you'd be reading about a 1932 Ford right now. It was 1978 and Chuck was on the hunt for a Deuce roadster. His friend Bill Campbell had a lead on one and told him where he could find it—but Bill's directions were vague and Chuck never found the location or the 1932.
The story has a happy ending though. Chuck, who owned a 1937 Chevy two-door sedan at the time, explained to Campbell that he wanted a convertible. Campbell owned a 1937 Chevy cabriolet and offered to sell it.
When the owner before Campbell found the rare car (one of 1,724 produced) in New Hampshire in 1972, it was a complete, original car, but was showing its age. Rust was starting to eat at the body and headlights. Most of the seat fabric had disappeared and holes were taking over the original cloth top. The dash and garnish moldings had been badly repainted with yellow house paint. On the positive side, it ran, the floor was in fairly good condition, and the hippie-era flower decals were only a few years out of date. That owner pulled some parts off the car and sold it to Campbell after one year. Five years later, Chuck and his wife, Judy, bought the 1937 from Campbell, along with N.O.S. fenders and running boards. They drove it home with two of their kids riding in the rumble seat. Chuck waited to tear apart the Chevy until he retired and could dedicate the necessary time and attention to the rebuild, which he did almost entirely at home.
With the body off the frame, Chuck upgraded the chassis—starting by stiffening the factory framerails with a 1×2-inch transmission-mount K-member and a Mustang II independent front suspension purchased from Kenny's Rod & Kustom in Newton Falls, Ohio. He added Monro-Matic Plus front shocks, a Chassis Engineering front antiroll bar, CE dual leaf springs, and 1937-39 Chevy rear gas shocks to steady the ride. The 8-inch rearend with 3.00:1 gears came out of a Ford Granada. Wagner disc brakes are controlled by a Corvette master cylinder with a power booster and Wilwood proportioning valve. The Chassis Engineering pedal assembly was modified to allow Chuck to use the stock pedal.
The body was repaired and restored to original condition using most of the factory sheetmetal and hardware, including the hood, grille shell, and insert. The 1937 top cloth was in need of a replacement. At J's Upholstery new Haartz Stayfast canvas was stretched over the original bows. The car was painted by Chuck and his friend Russ Minick using PPG Medium Cabernet paint. Ford had chosen the same color for use on Mustangs, pickups, and other vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s, but it perfectly suits the classic style of the Chevy's exterior. Judy came up with the fitting nickname "Cabernet Cabriolet".
Chuck was thinking about driveability when he built the small-block—with enough performance goodies thrown in to provide some fun. Starting with a 350 Chevy block, Professional Engine Systems, in Canfield, Ohio, bored 0.030 inches out of the cylinders, now filled with 10:1 Speed Pro Pistons and rings. Ball-milled aluminum valve covers cap the GM double-hump heads. A Cadillac air cleaner is like the cherry on top, covering the Edelbrock carb and intake. The block-hugger headers from Patriot feed into Chuck's custom bent pipes, with Thrush mufflers to lower the volume.
J&E's Auto Repair in Newton Falls built the Turbo 350 transmission backing the small-block. Chuck is thinking about swapping it for a 700-R4; the car is driven a lot and it would be nice to have the overdrive gear.
Russ Minick, who helped with the paintjob, was back to help with the interior, laying the tan carpet and stitching the door panels. The factory bench was covered with two-tone leather rolls and pleats at Portage Trim in Ravenna. The rumble seat was similarly restored.
It's great to see this rare Chevy revived to such beautiful condition. As to the whereabouts of the Deuce roadster Chuck had originally been looking for in 1978—we'll never know. Was it bought and built by somebody else? Probably. Have we walked past it at a car show? Maybe. There are a lot of 1932s out there, after all. But there are very few 1937 Chevy cabrios out there, especially as nicely street-rodded as Chuck and Judy's. When we saw it at the Nats in Columbus last year, it would have been impossible to just walk past.

Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, September 19, 2011
Ron Paul is riding high again after his California Straw Poll victory yesterday, but some Paul supporters are questioning why the Texas Straw Poll was cancelled for "lack of interest," and whether it was actually killed because the Congressman would have inflicted an embarrassing defeat on Governor Rick Perry in his own state.
According to a June 16 Washington Times report, the Texas GOP decided to cancel the straw poll, which was held on September 1 last year, because of a "lack of interest expressed by the candidates," and due to fears that the event would not recoup the financial outlay needed to stage it.
The claim that the poll was cancelled due to "lack of interest" doesn't correlate with the firestorm of media attention generated by Rick Perry's announcement of his candidacy, as well as the building momentum of the Paul campaign, which went supernova after the media hoax of attempting to pretend the Congressman doesn't exist spectacularly imploded last month.
There seems little doubt that Ron Paul would have defeated Rick Perry in the Texas Straw Poll, sending out the embarrassing message that those who know Perry's record best, lone star state voters, have no trust in his leadership. This would have been a massive blow to the perception of Perry's electability nationwide.
A presidential survey of voters in both candidate's home state conducted by the Azimuth Research Group last month found that Texans would be more likely to vote for Congressman Paul over Governor Perry by a margin of 22% to 17%.
Indeed, Paul has made it a focus of his campaign, including an expensive TV commercial, to bring attention to what the Perry campaign fears the most, his outing as a globalist RINO (Republican In Name Only).
A Texas Straw Poll win for Paul would have thrown fresh spotlight on Perry's history as a campaign manager for Al Gore, and his legacy of big government policies such as his support for the Trans Texas Corridor, toll roads owned by foreign companies, and his 1993 advocacy of Hillarycare.
It would not be the first time a straw poll was cancelled by establishment Republicans in order to neutralize a winning platform for Ron Paul's campaign. The 2007 San Francisco straw poll was cancelled due to there being "too many Ron Paul supporters". The Colorado straw poll was also cancelled that year, with the Adams County GOP citing the exact same reason.
The establishment media has openly attempted to unfairly marginalize Ron Paul's campaign this year. Following a September 12 Republican debate in Cincinnati, a straw poll found Ron Paul to be the winner. However, CNN refused to release the results of the poll and instead published an online poll, omitting Ron Paul from the list of candidates.

Liverpool's emergence as a modern city was showcased in this exhibition of stunning photographs by Stewart Bale Ltd, a local family run photographic practice. The Stewart Bale collection is now part of the Maritime Archives and Library's collections.
Spanning a period of great change in the city from the 1930s to the 1970s, these photographs were taken to celebrate, promote and record great events, landmark buildings, cutting edge developments and city life.
Monumental in scale and beautifully composed, the photographs reflect a Victorian city embracing modernity and the industrial 20th century. They are of particular resonance during Liverpool's Capital of Culture year, a time of massive regeneration.
On this website you can also see every photograph from the Queensway Mersey tunnel souvenir album, from the opening ceremony on 18 July 1934, which was also featured in the exhibition.

Lala Music Service Goes Dark
The Lala music service is no more. The site has been discontinued as of May 31, according to a note posted at lala.com.
The move comes more than six months after Apple purchased the streaming music service, and one month after Lala announced that it would shut its doors.
Lala users with remaining balances as of May 31 will be sent an e-mail with an iTunes Store credit code before June 14. Credits will be rounded up to the nearly dollar for refunds less than $10 and to the nearest $5 for refunds greater than $10. Users can also request check refunds, which Lala said wll also be mailed no later than June 14.
Apple reportedly purchased Lala to help it move into cloud-based music sales, but no such service has been announced. Apple CEO Steve Jobs will appear onstage at the All Things D conference Tuesday night and at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) next week, though, so stay tuned.

Born into an aristocratic family at Sharpham near Glastonbury in Somerset in 1707, Fielding was educated at Eton College, where he established a lifelong friendship with Pitt the Elder. His younger sister, Sarah, was also destined to be a successful writer.
After a romantic episode with a young woman that ended in his getting into trouble with the law, he went to London where his literary career began.
In 1728, he travelled to Leiden to study classics and law at the University. However, due to lack of money he was obliged to return to London and he began writing for the theatre, some of his work being savagely critical of the contemporary government under Sir Robert Walpole.
The Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737 is alleged to be a direct result of his activities. The particular play that triggered the Licensing Act was The Vision of the Golden Rump, but Fielding's satires had set the tone.
Once the Licensing Act passed, political satire on the stage was virtually impossible, and playwrights whose works were staged were viewed as suspect. Fielding therefore retired from the theatre and resumed his career in law and, in order to support his wife Charlotte Cradock and two children, he became a barrister.
His lack of money sense meant that he and his family often endured periods of poverty, but he was also helped by Ralph Allen, a wealthy benefactor who later formed the basis of Squire Allworthy in Tom Jones. After Fielding's death, Allen provided for the education and support of his children.
Fielding never stopped writing political satire and satires of current arts and letters. His Tragedy of Tragedies of Tom Thumb (for which Hogarth designed the frontispiece) was, for example, quite successful as a printed play.
He also contributed a number of works to journals of the day. He wrote for Tory periodicals, usually under the name of "Captain Hercules Vinegar".
As Justice of the Peace he issued a warrant for the arrest of Colley Cibber for "murder of the English language".
During the late 1730s and early 1740s Fielding continued to air his liberal and anti-Jacobite views in satirical articles and newspapers. Almost by accident, in anger at the success of Richardson's Pamela, Fielding took to writing novels in 1741 and his first major success was Shamela, an anonymous parody of Samuel Richardson's melodramatic novel. It is a satire that follows the model of the famous Tory satirists of the previous generation (Jonathan Swift and John Gay, in particular).
He followed this up with Joseph Andrews (1742), an original work supposedly dealing with Pamela's brother, Joseph. Although also begun as a parody, this work developed into an accomplished novel in its own right and is considered to mark Fielding's debut as a serious novelist.
In 1743, he published a novel in the Miscellanies volume III (which was the first volume of the Miscellanies). This was The History of the Life of the Late Mr Jonathan Wild the Great.
This novel is sometimes thought of as his first because he almost certainly began composing it before he wrote Shamela and Joseph Andrews. It is a satire of Walpole that draws a parallel between Walpole and Jonathan Wild, the infamous gang leader and highwayman.
He implicitly compares the Whig party in Parliament with a gang of thieves being run by Walpole, whose constant desire to be a "Great Man" (a common epithet for Walpole) should culminate only in the antithesis of greatness: being hanged.
His anonymously-published The Female Husband of 1746 is a fictionalized account of a notorious case in which a female transvestite was tried for duping another woman into marriage. Though a minor item in Fielding's total oeuvre, the subject is consistent with his ongoing preoccupation with fraud, sham, and masks.
His greatest work was Tom Jones (1749), a meticulously constructed picaresque novel telling the convoluted and hilarious tale of how a foundling came into a fortune.
Charlotte, on whom he later modeled the heroines of both Tom Jones and Amelia, died in 1744. Three years later Fielding - disregarding public opinion - married her former maid, Mary, who was pregnant.
Despite this, his consistent anti-Jacobism and support for the Church of England led to him being rewarded a year later with the position of London's Chief Magistrate, and his literary career went from strength to strength.
Joined by his younger half-brother John, he helped found what some have called London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners in 1749.
According to the historian G.M. Trevelyan, they were two of the best magistrates in eighteenth-century London, and did a great deal to enhance the cause of judicial reform and improve prison conditions.
His influential pamphlets and enquiries included a proposal for the abolition of public hangings. [1] This did not, however, imply opposition to capital punishment as such—as evident, for example, in his presiding in 1751 over the trial of the notorious criminal James Field, finding him guilty in a robbery and sentencing him to hang.
However, Fielding's ardent commitment to the cause of justice as a great humanitarian in the 1750s, coincided with a rapid deterioration in his health to such an extent that he went abroad to Portugal in 1754 in search of a cure. Gout, asthma and other afflictions meant that he had to use crutches.
He died in Lisbon two months later and his tomb at the English Church may be visited. Despite being now blind, John Fielding succeeded his older brother as Chief Magistrate and became known as the 'Blind Beak' of Bow Street for his ability to recognise criminals by their voice alone.

DISCLAIMER: I will not follow this up with another textwal even if I don't agree with whatever anyone posts below. This is quite important, I think.
In the light of the recent developments and discussions and consensuses about the potions and apparent problems with the learning/difficulty curve, we might want to revive this thread in a different light, and a different focus.
The way non-hardcore vets react to nerfs and nerf propositions seems to be related (conciously or unconciously) to a lack of awareness of what tools the players have at their disposal, namely gods. Trisword adjustments, class adjustments, postions adjustments - stuff that the vets could probably agree upon as needed to some degree seem to cause way too much consternation among the non-vets. And I'm not blaming them, but I'm also 100% sure that even if my (or any vet's) assesments aren't correct - our intentions aren't to screw them over, and if we though we'd be doing that we wouldn't be suggesting such things.
While the vets have generally hailed the introduction of a "vicious mode" as awesome (I've went through shock on different grounds, but even I'm enjoing the freshness of the challenges), some of the "not-quite-crazy-enough-vets" and likely the majority of human beings has trouble with the difficulty that comes from transitioning from one boss to 2 boss dungeons.
My assesment is that this has to do with the fact that vets mostly know their way around gods, while the non-vets don't. And this has been a problem forever, and might be the underlying reason the game seems elitist - whether anyone likes it or not, the way gods are introduced probably isn't working well enough. I'd say evidently, but I don't know the metrics (though I'm pretty sure).
I've been complaining about this from day one - the complaints are too numerous to list, but my TT rampage and all talks about "worshiping him just for the gold", the complaints about there not being an equivalent of the alpha pactmaker (a real no-downisde intro god) from the get go, the complaints about the specific way pactmaker is introduced into the game from the recent writeups, the priest complaints all point to this problem. And I've explained in what is a textwall but a generaly well recieved one even by the poeople who don't like me much, that the whole monk business can also bee seen as something which stemmed from this same problem. It's in the potions thread.
Anyway, however late in the development we may be, I think the devs should at the very least reconsider the ways the gods are introduced - whether by adding quests, whether by making their subdungeons not spawn altars which genearally cause a run to crash and burn creating a horrible first impression, but idols as Avatar suggested, or simply moving the pactmaker (with possible adjustments) to the place of a deity you start out with (he has mixed reception even from the vets who use him often).
I also think we need a better way to make pepole figure out they actually need gods then just plonking down a second boss at the second directionals. The way things are now it only causes people to lean more heavily on all the things which make their game playable without mastery of the gods, and that causes balance issues and unsatisfaction later, thus diminishing the rewards of learining how to handle gods. Not to mention that unless you have the current trisword or a small handfull of otherwise needlessly above the curve features unlocked the semi-faithless gameplay is obviously fataly frustrating.
Also, having a class caled "Priest" who is most likely to mess up a run by touching any altar is very definitely sending a wrong message to the average human being. The average human being will take a very long time before he gives GG another chance if they try him out with a priest. I can clearly remember the nasty shock that came from losing all my glyphs, items and potions out of nowhere and did not under any circumstances want risking that happening again - this put gods way on the bottom of my priority list, while they should've been on the top of it, and delayed my development as a player for months and months. Whatever the reasons for the decision to stick with "no early gods" and "no god friendly early classes" I think the downsides of this approach being so strict are severely underestimated.
Also, if allowing people to master the gods too soon or easily would lead to an unsatisfactory expirience - I can assure anyone that the VICIOUS mode challenges even the most decadent and seen-it-all vet, and can probably be depended on to keep anyone who finds the regular game too easy busy for ages (once it's tweaked).
Anywho - I think this, rather than tweaks to particular boons is something that needs the most consideration. Can everyone share, if they remember, their first expiriences with gods, what gods are still puzzling you (when you see someone post obscure feedback about beating something using particular gods) and so on...

Brian7t7 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 139 diseños de 38 diseñadores freelance.
7twenty7 develops interesting apps for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android. Our most successful app is SpinArt, which Apple named as the #56 best-selling app of all time as of the end of 2010.
SpinArt is an app based on the classic childhood craft--spin a canvas, splatter paint on it, and create awesome designs in a hurry. It's been a huge success, but the icon has grown old--it dates back to 2008 when nobody knew what they were doing. For more information on the app, just search iTunes for "SpinArt". It's the first one returned. To see the app in action, a YouTube video from about 2 years ago is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVW4…re=related
We are looking for something new and dynamic. We want to convey fun, creativity, and motion. The spinning of the canvas and the splattering of paint are the main draws of the app. We want a unique and eye catching design. We don't want anything boring or any text on the icon.
See the attached current logos for the current (sorry) state of things. We currently like the fact that you can easily make out a spiral pattern in some of them, and the more colorful samples definitely show motion.
The icon should be delivered in the following resolutions: 512x512, 114x114, 72x72, & 57x57. Obviously this means you can put more detail into the 512px design but it the 57px icon should be clean and readable on the device and fit in nicely with other great app icons.
Adobe files only (.ai or .psd). You know the drill.
Good luck!
Our audience is teens and young adults and skews heavily female (75%). That doesn't mean to design an female-oriented icon, but it's something to be aware of--that is, don't make it too much the other way.
