Anyway, everyone truly has been terrific—even the occasionally foul-mouthed and comically odd nurse with "interesting" political opinions and the not-quite-endearing habit of ending nearly every sentence with, "Okay, hon" or "All right, sweetie," or "I got you, baby." She gifted my mother with a pair of these guys because, she swears, they're terrific for use in needlework.
ANYWAY. Dad's doing fantastically, so far. He had a super-mild, super-short reaction to his first round of the pre-transplant chemo regimen last night, and this morning he got "filled up" with two units of blood.
He got a shower, did 16 laps around the floor (one mile), and tried out the cafeteria's cheesecake. ("It was okay.") He's experiencing zero icky side effects so far, and if he does well with tonight's round of chemo, he's going to celebrate with a daring meal tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed, y'all.
Yesterday, it occurred to me that Day Zero—the day Dad receives his donor's cells—is May 4th. As in, May the Fourth. As in, "May the forth [force] be with you." That feels significant in all kinds of ways, and I'm trying to figure out how to throw a Star Wars-themed party that day. I suppose I should see how Dad's feeling before I drag a Wookie in here.
Also, does anyone have any connections to Harrison Ford, because it would be pretty great for that guy to show up here next Thursday. Great for me, I mean. I'm not sure Dad would care.

Has Pinterest Found the Ideal Income Engine?
Josh, over at LLSocial has an interesting post on how the social sharing site Pinterest, that's all the rage online, is quietly generating revenue by changing the links that it's users are "pinning" to include Pinterests affiliate links. There's quite a bit of conversation in the comments over there as to whether doing so is really even legal, and if it is, whether it is really all that ethical.
In the end, Pinterest might have found the ideal income (revenue) engine for a site of their like. The content is almost entirely user generated, and a large majority of it is product oriented. (read: affiliate linkable.) The fact that they are doing this is relatively recent news, so it still remains to be seen if they'll see any backlash from users, but even if they do, I doubt it will mean much in the grand scheme.
If you're familiar with affiliate programs at all, you're probably already thinking what I was. If affiliate links on the site are a good revenue stream for the company hosting the site, perhaps they could be a good revenue stream for an affiliate marketer. I have yet to test any of that, and, actually, don't even have a Pinterest account yet, but it might be interesting to test out and see what kind of results can be gotten.
Does anyone have any experience using affiliate links in Pinterest and care to share how it performs?

Is it possible to set integer field to a null value? I have done it in the past, but cannot seem to get it to work now.
It doesn't like the second line.When it tries to convert the above example to an int, it crashes. This makes sense, but I cannot seem to figure out another way to approach this problem. Anybody have any ideas?
and I'm not sure of your purposes, but you may not want to make an "UNKNOWN" 0 because 0 may be a legitimate value, it would probably be better to make that value NULL which christophfricke's code should do for you.

Un virolai és, en català, una composició poètica per a ser cantada, usualment composta per diverses estrofes amb tornada. És un himne dedicat a la Mare de Déu de Montserrat que, amb el pas del temps, ha esdevingut un símbol espiritual i patriòtic dels catalans.

L'any 1880, el 20 de febrer, l'any del Mil·lenari de Montserrat, Josep Rodoreda i Santigós (1851-1922) va ser el guanyador del concurs musical que es va celebrar per commemorar les festes. Al concurs s'hi varen presentar 68 partitures amb l'objectiu de posar música al Virolai que havia escrit Jacint Verdaguer. La lletra fou publicada per primera vegada el 1880, al programa del certamen celebrat a Montserrat amb motiu de les festes del Mil·lenari. Suposa una adaptació d'un virolai del .

El Virolai de Rodoreda no es convertiria en un símbol fins ben entrat el  i a partir d'aleshores esdevindria no només signe d'espiritualitat, sinó també de catalanisme. Durant la dictadura del General Franco, quan no era legal cantar Els Segadors, el Virolai va ser un himne succedani. Quan es tractava de celebrar victòries esportives catalanes o d'altres circumstàncies, el Virolai feia llavors les funcions d'himne de Catalunya, sobretot en cercles confessionals cristians.

La lletra del Virolai comença amb les paraules: Rosa d'abril, morena de la serra..., la qual cosa fa que també sigui conegut amb el nom de Rosa d'abril.

A la vila de Picanya (Horta Sud), poble la patrona del qual és la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, es canta una versió curta del Virolai que canvia el gentilici "catalans" per "picanyers". El 1990, quan es va instal·lar el carilló de l'església, el batlle va assistir al Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya on es va gravar el Virolai el qual, d'ençà d'aleshores, sona tres vegades al dia al campanar de la parròquia local.

 Estrofa:

Lletra
Rosa d'abril, Morena de la serra,
de Montserrat estel:
il·lumineu la catalana terra,
guieu-nos cap al Cel.

Amb serra d'or els angelets serraren
eixos turons per fer-vos un palau.
Reina del Cel que els Serafins baixaren,
deu-nos abric dins vostre mantell blau.

Alba naixent d'estrelles coronada,
Ciutat de Déu que somnià David,
a vostres peus la lluna s'és posada,
el sol sos raigs vos dona per vestit.

Dels catalans sempre sereu Princesa,
dels espanyols Estrella d'Orient,
sigueu pels bons pilar de fortalesa,
pels pecadors el port de salvament.

Doneu consol a qui la pàtria enyora
sens veure mai els cims de Montserrat;
en terra i mar oïu a qui us implora,
torneu a Déu els cors que l'han deixat.

Mística Font de l'aigua de la vida,
rageu del Cel al cor de mon país;
dons i virtuts deixeu-li per florida;
feu-ne, si us plau, el vostre paradís.

Ditxosos ulls, Maria, els que us vegen!
ditxós el cor que s'obri a vostra llum!
Roser del Cel, que els serafins voltegen,
a ma oració doneu vostre perfum.

Cedre gentil, del Líbano corona,
Arbre d'encens, Palmera de Sion,
el fruit sagrat que vostre amor ens dona
és Jesucrist, el Redemptor del món.

Amb vostre nom comença nostra història
i és Montserrat el nostre Sinaí:
sien per tots l'escala de la glòria
eixos penyals coberts de romaní.

Rosa d'abril, Morena de la serra,
de Montserrat estel:
il·lumineu la catalana terra,
guieu-nos cap al Cel.

Barrett Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in southern San Diego County, California in the United States, forming Barrett Lake on Cottonwood Creek. The dam is part of the city of San Diego's local water supply system.

Overview and operations
Barrett Dam is located in a narrow canyon just below the confluence of Cottonwood Creek and Pine Valley Creek, about  east of downtown San Diego. The dam is  high above the riverbed and  long, forming a reservoir with  of usable capacity. The dam contains  of concrete. The spillway is located on the face of the dam and is a stepped overflow structure controlled by gates. At maximum water levels the spillway capacity is approximately . To prevent flash floods from overtopping the dam, the gates are left open during the rainy season from November 1 to April 1.

The dam's primary purpose is to store water for diversion through the Dulzura Conduit, a  long concrete aqueduct which transfers water from the Cottonwood Creek basin to Lower Otay Reservoir. Water is released into the Dulzura Conduit via an outlet tower and a  diameter pipe with a capacity of . Water stored at Lower Otay passes through the Otay Water Treatment Plant before entering the municipal system. Barrett is one of two dams on Cottonwood Creek, the other being Morena Dam  upstream. Because Barrett is a deeper and narrower lake than Morena and experiences less evaporation, the city prioritizes water storage in Barrett. Water is moved downstream from Morena as long as storage space is available in Barrett. Resultantly, Barrett Lake is usually at a high level except during periods of extended drought.

History
Before there was a reservoir, the area was a valley that has been homesteaded by George Barrett in the 1870s. The first dam at the Barrett site was a  high concrete diversion dam built in the 1890s as part of the Cottonwood-Otay System by the Southern California Mountain Water Company. This dam's sole purpose was to feed the first Dulzura Conduit, a wooden flume that extended along the mountainside to the Lower Otay reservoir  west. In 1913, the city of San Diego purchased this development for $2.5 million. Flooding in 1916 (ostensibly the work of the "rainmaker" Charles Hatfield) broke the dam at Lower Otay and overflowed the upstream Morena Dam, demonstrating the need for additional water storage capacity.

The city began construction on Barrett Dam in 1919, under the direction of engineer Hiram N. Savage. In December of that year, unusually heavy rainfall filled the reservoir behind the incomplete dam, very nearly causing its failure. Over the following few months, construction was hurried in order to keep up with the rising lake, which was only held back by wooden flashboards as the water level actually exceeded the height of the poured concrete for most of the construction period. Temporary sluiceways had to be maintained in order to drain excess water from the lake, which consistently threatened to overtop the dam. By the time the dam was completed in 1923 it was said that "the value of the water stored behind Barrett Dam by the time the structure was completed exceeded the entire cost of the dam".

Recreation
In order to protect water quality, recreational access to Barrett Lake is extremely limited. The lake is open only Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and visitors are required to take reservations. Fishing is allowed on a strict catch-and-release basis.

Now, for our final recipe of Pumpkin Week-- Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwiches! This is a very special recipe because it's like three recipes in one! This is another one of my favorite recipes and I look forward to making these ice cream sandwiches each year.
I actually made these ice cream sandwiches for our Thanksgiving celebrations last year! Everyone loved these treats. I decided to assemble the sandwiches at both our family's celebrations which also allowed those that didn't want ice cream sandwiches to just eat the cookies and/or the ice cream separately. Everything tastes wonderful separately, but if you put them all together they are AMAZING!
This recipe originated at Our Best Bites and combines ginger spice cookies and pumpkin spice cookies to make these lovely sandwiches. I haven't changed anything in the recipes with the exception of the cookies. If you plan on making ice cream sandwiches and storing them in the freezer, add one tablespoon each of vegetable oil and light corn syrup to the batter. This prevents them from getting hard in the freezer and makes them a little easier (i.e. more enjoyable) to eat! These are great to store in the fridge for special treats and are great for dinner or parties. If you decide to take these to a party, either store them in the freezer at the party or assemble them there (you can let everyone assemble their own).
Don't be put off by the three different recipes. The cookies are fast to mix together and get into the oven, and the ice cream is fast to mix together to get into the ice cream maker. Make these the day before and you're all set.
I hope you give this recipe a try! I can't say enough how much I adore this recipe!
Thanks for joining me for Pumpkin Week and I hope you enjoyed it! Please let me know what your favorite pumpkin recipes are!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy holidays!
Place brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Stir with a whisk to combine.
Add pumpkin and whisk together.
Add cream, milk and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until everything is well distributed and brown sugar is mostly dissolved.
For best results, chill mixture in the fridge for several hours and then process in ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.
Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze several hours, or overnight, until firm.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
With an electric mixer, combine shortening and sugar and cream until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and the molasses and beat until completely incorporated.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just set around the edges and you start to see "crackling" on the top.
Don't overbake! You want to keep them nice and chewy-soft in the middle.
To assemble cookies, place a small dollop of caramel sauce on one flat side of a cookie. Scoop a small amount of ice cream onto the cookie, and immediately place another cookie (flat side down) on top of the ice cream. Gently squeeze the cookies together, then serve immediately.
You can also make these ice cream sandwiches ahead of time. Place a cookie sheet in the freezer. As you assemble the cookies, place them on the cookie sheet in the freezer. Leave the cookies in the freezer 30-minutes to an hour, then you can wrap them individually with pieces of aluminum foil and store in the freezer until they are ready to serve. Note that the cookies won't be as pretty, but they will still taste AMAZING!
Remember, if you made the ice cream sandwiches, don't forget to add 1 tablespoon each of vegetable oil AND light corn syrup. This helps them from getting too hard in the freezer and helps them be easier to eat.
Oh my lawd!! I've been meaning to scream that out loud since I saw this picture on FB. Love the three in one nature of this!! So amazing. Pinning!
Girl, goodness, oh my! I need one of these sandwiches asap! Looks incredible!
So drippy, ooey, and gooey! I'll take two please!
Um YUM!?! These look absolutely divine!
I'll still be making pumpkin stuff after Thanksgiving...love it. :) It's cold here in CT but I gotta have my ice cream. I'm all for a good ice cream sandwich like this one. Definitely has perfect flavors for this time of the year.

Q: What are the capitalization rules regarding historical periods of time? Why are phrases like "the High Middle Ages" capitalized while e. g. "the sixth century" is not?
Is there a general rule?

A: In its chapter on numbers (and select other sections), the Chicago Manual of Style has these recommendations:

[9.33 Centuries] Particular centuries are spelled out and lowercased.

*

*the twenty-first century

*the eighth and ninth centuries

*from the ninth to the eleventh century

*the eighteen hundreds (the nineteenth century)

  [9.35 Eras] Choice of the era designation depends on tradition,
  academic discipline, or personal preference. Chicago recommends full
  capitals and no periods.
[8.72 Traditional period names] Some names of periods are capitalized,
  either by tradition or to avoid ambiguity.

*

*the Augustan Age

*the Common Era

*the Counter-Reformation

*the Dark Ages

*the Enlightenment

*the Gay Nineties

*the Gilded Age

*the Grand Siècle

*the High Middle Ages (but the early Middle Ages, the late Middle Ages)

  [8.74 Historical events and programs] Names of many major historical
  events and programs are conventionally capitalized. Others, more
  recent or known by their generic descriptions, are usually lowercased.
  If in doubt, do not capitalize.

*

*the Boston Tea Party

*the Cold War (but a cold war, used generically)

*the Cultural Revolution

From Kidstir's earliest days, my mom—an Early Intervention Specialist—believed our kits would be great for children with special needs.
After we launched Kidstir, we started hearing directly from families who were using our kits for their kids of varying abilities. It has been immensely fulfilling to provide joy and learning to a diverse range of children and families. Exploring this path led us to the wonderful California Autism Foundation, with whom we formed a partnership earlier this year.
It also led us to AblePlay, an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to make the world of play accessible to all children. AblePlay was created so parents, friends, family members, educators, therapists, and others can make the best decisions when purchasing products for children, especially kids with special needs. To provide this important guidance, AblePlay's play specialists and families undertake an extensive evaluation process of toys and educational products across several developmental areas.
We are thrilled to announce that Kidstir has received AblePlay's prestigious seal of approval across all 5 key testing areas.
Look, Mom, here's a report card we can both be really proud of!


When I first received my Getty Images Settlement Demand Letter on Monday, June 16, I took prompt measures to be proactive. One of those proactive steps was to face this issue head-on. I called the phone number 800-272-4170 twice and left one message. My voice message was professional and courteous. I was letting them know I acknowledged their letter and was quickly taking corrective measures. I also told them I welcomed a call to discuss the situation.
Chloe Surdyk called late Wed. afternoon. It was actually a cordial conversation. I did my best to find common ground. I understand their need to protect their copyrights and go after people but I did not agree with their tactics.
I told her I especially did not agree with her rationale that victims of Indian web designers should have to pay Getty Images especially when I contracted for a web banner, not specific images. I also had little or no say in the selection of any images, only whether I liked a web banner or not.
She offered me a lower settlement (from the original $1,300) of $800-something. I told her I did not agree with her and it was likely we would have to agree to disagree. In the conversation, I told her I was not ignorant of the law and due legal process. I have been to court many times to be a plaintiff and occasionally a defendant. I was not simply going to "roll over". I told her I did my research on the Internet on Getty Images and I was informed of their upcoming tactics. I told her I was not going to sit still and that I would likely publicize my interactions with her and her company.
My sense of embarrassment over this is substantially lower than my sense of outrage at their attitude. Surprisingly, during most of the conversation, Chloe was cordial. Even towards the end of the conversation, she said she would put into her notes to give me another 14-days to consider her offer. Chloe even gave me her direct phone office line: 206-925-6779.
In my mind, there was no way I was going to "settle" with them. I mentioned to her that she would likely have to sue my company if she wanted anything. For now, I told her we would simply agree to disagree.
My next move is to get my "official reply" sent out by Certified Mail within the next couple of days. I am biding my time as I continue to do more research.
Cold calls are NOT welcome on this matter. Please do not cold call me because I will not accept phone calls from phone numbers I don't recognize.

I'm Canadian- you did know that, right? I have quite a few more American readers than Canadian, so I just thought I'd put that out there. Now, I'm not much of a maple syrup fan, or anything maple flavoured actually, and I don't think I've ever naturally uttered 'eh', but I am very much Canadian. As such a human, I love being able to feature Canadian brands, especially the lesser known, because you can usually find some amazing products when you look past the well known names. One such brand is SST Cosmetics, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The mineral based brand is popular in Western Canada and is a favourite among professional makeup artists. I can totally see why. Read on for a closer look!
The SST Cosmetics family of products is divided into two ranges- the Signature Series, and Black Label. I couldn't find much info as to what the difference between the two is, but the first product on the roster today is SST Black Label Tinted Primer & Moisture Kick. The product is a rich, creamy textured tinted base that functions as a three-in-one type product. It works to infuse skin with moisture in a pretty major way as it's formulated with hylauronic acid, vitamin e, nourishing red seaweed extract and tourmaline. Many tinted bases make hydrating claims and don't end up living up to them, but this does give skin a lot of hydration and for those with more normal skin would suffice as a pre-foundation moisturizer on it's own.
I find the coverage to be on the lighter side, but it does build to a light-medium coverage that works well to even skin-tone, blur imperfections and conceal redness while having a really natural, skin-like finish that is really easy to wear. I don't find it needs to be powdered at all as the finish is neither matte nor dewy and stays that way for the day. I have the shade Skin Tone, which is a bit too warm and dark for me, but this is also available in Light. I can make Skin Tone work if I really blend, but is going to be better suited to those with a more medium complexion. Unfortunately there are only the two shades so if you're very light or darker than medium you're out of luck.
Next up, SST Signature Series Hydrating Lipstick. Formulated with grape seed oil, cocoa butter, and vitamin e, the lipstick gives lips a great wash of almost opaque colour with a balmy feel and dose of hydration. My lips have been particularly dry the past while (thanks, winter!) but this lipstick glides on so easily and I don't have to worry about scrubbing and balming well before hand. I have the shade #XOXO from the fall 2014 #FACETIME Collection, which is a more vivid take on a MLBB (my lips but better) raspberry-pink shade. I love the shade and that it wears so easily, oh, and it has a soft vanilla scent!
Of course, the eyes need a little lovin', for which there is SST Signature Series Power Stay Shadow Sticks. The water proof pencils are creamy and smooth with a wear all day formula. I love the ease of a shadow stick as they're fast for lazy days and make great bases for powder shadows. I have the shades Water Lily, a shimmering, pale champagne, and #OMG! a milk chocolate brown with a taupe lean. Both shades are very pigmented and apply and blend with ease- either with a finger or brush, although a finger does the trick well. While these do wear quite well all day on their own, I find Water Lily did crease on me just a bit through the crease if I don't use a primer, but really, who doesn't use one anyway? They only slight downside is that they do need to be sharpened and are housed in a plastic-y tube. I always feel odd about sharpening pencils like that... Anyone else?
Overall, I'm really happy with the products I've tried from SST! I should add that all SST products are talc free, boron nitride free, parabn free, gluten free and not tested on animals. The brand is currently available in salons across Canada and direct from their website (here). Have you heard of the brand, tried it, or interested in trying it? Do you have any favourite Canadian brands?

Karnak temple »
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings. Building at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes.
The complex is a vast open-air museum, and the second largest ancient religious site in the world, after the Angkor Wat Temple of Cambodia. It is believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt; only the Giza Pyramids near Cairo receive more visits. It consists of four main parts, of which only the largest is currently open to the general public. The term Karnak often is understood as being the Precinct of Amun-Ra only, because this is the only part most visitors see. The three other parts, the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Montu, and the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV, are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amun-Re, and the Luxor Temple.The Precinct of Mut is very ancient, being dedicated to an Earth and creation deity, but not yet restored. The original temple was destroyed and partially restored by Hatshepsut, although another pharaoh built around it in order to change the focus or orientation of the sacred area. Many portions of it may have been carried away for use in other buildings.
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle Kingdom and continued through to Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming. The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshiped to those worshiped much later in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Although destroyed, it also contained an early temple built by Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), the pharaoh who later would celebrate a near monotheistic religion he established that prompted him to move his court and religious center away from Thebes. It also contains evidence of adaptations, using buildings of the Ancient Egyptians by later cultures for their own religious purposes.
One famous aspect of Karnak is the Hypostyle Hall in the Precinct of Amun-Re, a hall area of 50,000 sq ft (5,000 m2) with 134 massive columns arranged in 16 rows. 122 of these columns are 10 meters tall, and the other 12 are 21 meters tall with a diameter of over three meters.
The architraves on top of these columns are estimated to weigh 70 tons. These architraves may have been lifted to these heights using levers. This would be an extremely time-consuming process and also would require great balance to get to such great heights. A common alternative theory regarding how they were moved is that large ramps were constructed of sand, mud, brick or stone and that the stones were then towed up the ramps. If stone had been used for the ramps, they would have been able to use much less material. The top of the ramps presumably would have employed either wooden tracks or cobblestones for towing the megaliths.

Know Your Lore: Welcome to the machine
By Anne Stickney
@Shadesogrey
On the border between Silverpine and Hillsbrad Foothills, there's a quest for Horde players that remains one of my favorite quests in game called Welcome to the Machine. In the quest, you take a seat on a conveniently placed horse and hand out some quests to passers by. Three traveling adventurers eventually come along to take whatever quests you have to dole out, with suitably colorful commentary. What I really enjoyed about this quest is that for a moment it took you out of that role of adventuring hero, and put you in the NPC position. By doing so, it twisted you around and forced you to take a look at yourself as a player, presenting three hysterical caricatures of 'typical' players. It also gave you a weird insight into the daily life of an NPC, something that most players don't really bother thinking about — they just take the quest and move on, most of the time without even reading it. It was an amazing, wonderful, weird quest, and I still consider it one of the highlights of the Cataclysm expansion.
As much as I love the quest, though, I didn't really want an entire expansion of it.
Leveling in Draenor
Let's be clear, here — the leveling experience in Warlords of Draenor is hands down the best leveling experience we've ever had in World of Warcraft. Quests are evenly paced, the voice acting is nothing short of phenomenal, overarching zone stories are amazing, and those end of zone cinematics are one of the best additions to the leveling experience we've ever seen. Why? Because it pulls everything together into a cohesive story in which you are the star, yes, but you are surrounded by a cast of supporting characters that are well rounded and well written, right down to minor NPCs that you interact with once, maybe twice, and never again. There is a purpose to what you are doing, a direction for you to go, and a host of people to help you along the way.
It could be argued that this falters a little in some zones — Gorgrond in particular is a little chaotic in its presentation. The split at the beginning of the zone sends you in two different directions, and you won't really play through that second direction on your first run through. This, unfortunately, makes it feel like you've only gotten half the story that Gorgrond has to offer — and leaves the impression that in order to experience the entire story, you have to level an alt. That's not much fun, and it's not very encouraging. Tanaan Jungle, for all its fast pace, also has the distressing tendency to lag in places — and unfortunately, those places are usually during the Warlord introduction sequences. But overall, the amount of time it takes to get from level 90 to level 100 is just right — not too long, not too short.
And the main reason I was so enchanted with this expansion during beta, the main reason I was incredibly hyped about this expansion was that leveling experience. That's what we got to play with the most, in beta — testing the leveling zones and making sure quests were working correctly and we had this beautifully seamless experience. I played that leveling experience several times over because the beta kept resetting, and I loved it every single time. Even the bugs that popped up — as bugs often do, in a beta experience — didn't really detract from just how good this content was. And surely, I thought, if the content was this good while leveling, getting to level 100 was going to be levels of amazing that we'd never seen before.
And I was completely wrong about that.
When you reach level 100 in Warlords of Draenor, you remove yourself entirely from whatever story you had experienced up to that point and start playing a cold, mechanical game of filling bars and sending other people out to do what should, admittedly, be your job. You have been elevated from mere adventuring hero to the person in charge. You hop on the back of that horse, and you start handing out quests — and while that process is amusing for the first week or two, by the time you hit three months out, it is appallingly static and dull. Let me be perfectly clear here: If there is one thing I have learned so far from Warlords, it is that being in charge really, really sucks.
We are no longer given justification or reasons for doing daily quests. Instead, we are given a bar, and we are told to fill it, with the barest of explanations as to why. And lest we think filling this bar is going to have any kind of lasting effect, the quest will reappear to be completed again in a few days time. We leave no lasting mark on the world, save our garrisons — and the majority of our time is spent in our garrisons. Deliberately isolated from the rest of the world, reduced to social interaction via a queue-able interface in which you'll meet plenty of people you will never remember or likely speak to again.
What endgame in Warlords has done, whether inadvertently or deliberately, is taken the player out of the active role and placed them in a spectator position. It feels entirely like the story is happening around us — we are no longer an integral part of it. What's sad is that so many familiar faces we've met while leveling also seem to slide out of the picture entirely, by and large either reduced to occasional cameo roles during the paltry handful of story quests we get at max level, or new followers for our garrisons. At which point, the game continues on its repetitive course. {PB}
Pivotal story moments take place in quest chains that take no more than an hour at most to complete, and at the end of these chains, we are left to witness what goes on, not participate in it. How confused were you when that final confrontation in the garrison campaign happened? When you were left watching a major character have a face-off with Grommash Hellscream that essentially boiled down to, "Hey, we have the upper hand now and we can totally crush you. Why don't you run back into Tanaan Jungle and regroup, and we'll just see you later instead of taking care of the problem right here and now?"
How many times have you brought things back to Khadgar and then patiently waited for him to do something and possibly explain what that thing was? How many times during the garrison campaign quests did you wonder to yourself why exactly you were out in the middle of nowhere taking care of a mission that didn't really seem to have any sort of importance to the main storyline at all? How many times have you asked yourself what that main storyline was — and more importantly, why you had to ask yourself, why you didn't immediately know the answer?
The NPC
In vanilla World of Warcraft, we were the fresh young heroes, out to seek our fortunes and correct whatever mishaps we found along the way. In Burning Crusade, we were the bold new wave of explorers, out to adventure through another planet, and we returned home heroes. In Wrath of the Lich King, it was up to us to correct the sins of the past and bring a halt to an iconic villain who had been waiting quietly in the wings since Warcraft III. In Cataclysm, we were the brave explorers fighting to literally pull the world back together again after the explosive return of one of Azeroth's most ancient villains. In Mists of Pandaria, every side story from every prior expansion came together in an explosive clash on a land once thought lost, and we fought to return peace to the continent — all in the middle of an inter-factional war that struck a devastating blow to the Alliance, and nearly tore the Horde in two.
In Warlords of Draenor, we are the heroes who bravely storm through a portal to another world, another universe, on a suicide mission from which we may never return. We fight our way through throngs of bloodthirsty orcs, form alliances, forge an army worth taking on the rest of the world. And then we become the NPC. We send our army out on missions we do not witness and do not control. We simply reap the rewards they bring back with them. We collect bits and pieces of things to give our armies better gear, and then wave them off out the front gate and wait for them to return. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched my followers walk out those gates, and wished it were me instead.
In the ten years I have been playing this game, I have never felt as detached from the main story of the expansion as I do right now. It's not a lack of raiding that is doing this — it's a simple lack of cohesive story. Whatever magic that's there during the leveling experience quickly evaporates when you hit level 100. And this is incredibly disappointing, because with the ease in which you can level in Draenor, you hit that max level in at most a few weeks, maybe a month if you're playing very casually. Let's face it: You spend far more time in any given expansion at max level than you do leveling through it. This has been the case for every expansion from Burning Crusade onward.
What happened? That's the question I've been repeatedly asking myself, and I still don't have an answer. But I can, at least, pinpoint part of the problem — we just don't have enough relevant content to do. A very quick, cursory search on Wowhead shows that at level 90, in Mists of Pandaria, there were 976 quests to do. This does not weed out dailies or repeatable quests. Levels 85 through 89, there were another 851 quests added. In Warlords of Draenor, there are a staggering one thousand quests added for levels 90-99. At level 100, however, there were only 739 added. Only 186 of those quests at max level are part of a series — as in, part of a quest chain. The garrison campaign quests fall under those. Also keep in mind that this is a cursory search — quests are often shown twice, once for Alliance, once for Horde. These aren't exact numbers, just a general search.
Logically speaking, the numbers indicate that we simply haven't got anywhere near the endgame quest and story content in Warlords that we had in Mists of Pandaria.
Let's go back for a minute here — and I mean way, way back. Once of the reasons Warcraft's story first caught my attention was the fact that a friend of mine, who wasn't particularly known for being really enthusiastic about things, was incredibly enthusiastic about Warcraft's story. So enthusiastic that when he discovered I was in the World of Warcraft beta, way back when, he chucked Lord of the Clans at me and insisted I read it. So I did. It was a good book, but more importantly between the book and the game itself, and the later sessions showing me what played out in Warcraft II, Warcraft III, I discovered what my friend found so enchanting about all that story — it was the heart poured into it. You could tell that whoever created this thing, whoever wrote these words and put the whole thing together, this group of people absolutely and without question loved what they did. It showed, above and beyond everything else.
That enthusiasm and love has carried this game through every expansion to date. Even when they faltered — and they have faltered from time to time, don't get me wrong here — you still knew there was someone back there that loved what they did. Those people absolutely put together that leveling experience from 90-100, you can tell with every quest that's out there. And when the time came to handle the story beyond 100, they vanished. I don't know where they went, I don't know what happened, but it doesn't feel like there's anyone at the helm right now. It doesn't feel like we're doing anything with purpose, and it doesn't feel like anyone particularly cares that we feel like we're moving along without purpose. And that's the part that gets me the most. That heart, the feeling that whoever is creating this thing really cares about it, seems to have been sucked from the game entirely at max level.
This might seem overly critical to some — there are plenty of people out there who are happy with games that don't really have cohesive stories to them. Heck, I like playing games with no stories every now and again myself. But the reason I'm trying to point this out, and the reason I'm trying to pinpoint it is because the story behind this game has always been one of those cornerstones you could count on. You may or may not like the story being told, but that story was there, full of enthusiasm, emotion, and a zest for the art of storytelling that few games have been able to match. The fact that it is absent now is bizarre and unsettling, and makes me wonder what the future of this game is going to be.
I'll keep playing — of course I'll keep playing — and I will continue holding out hope that we're going to see something utterly amazing at some point in the future. But it's hard to write about lore when you've got almost no lore to write about, and it's hard to wonder about what's going to happen next when you don't really know what's going on right now, and it's very hard to care about either one when you're sitting on the back of that horse, dutifully handing out quests to other NPCs to complete.
In Welcome to the Machine, we eventually get off that horse, go find those guys we sent off in the middle of nowhere, and rescue them. Because that's what heroes do. I'd like to go be a hero again, please.

It's the room where the family enters first to dispose all clutter and (mud) before entering the home. It can also function as the laundry and utility room.
Tracked in mud is a constant presence on your kitchen floor. School bags and cast off coats litter the family room, and baseball mits, and hockey sticks creep into living spaces cluttering an otherwise cleanly home. How can one prevent such unsightly mess? Add or convert an existing place into a well designed mudroom.
A room before entry into the rest of the house, a mudroom traditionally provided a spot for foul whether gear and winter clothes in New England homes. A mudroom in fact proves useful in any climate as an organized spot to keep outdoor gear from cluttering and soiling the rest of the home.
Location: By definition a mudroom must be in an entry to the home. Convert a corner of an existing entry, carve out a region of the kitchen, or add on a small entryway.
Flooring: Choose a dark durable floor to weather the high traffic of mud. Include a mat for wiping feet.
Storage: Storage depends on family needs. Hooks provide easy access storage for things used most often. Hang two rows: one for adults on top and one at children level below. Cubbies or lockers designated for each family member allow for easy organization. If space allows, add a closet for the lesser used and out of season items.
Décor: Mudroom design can change depending on location. If at a back entrance, functional features will do. A corner of a front hall serving as a mudroom necessitates a bit fancier design with nice hard-wear and finished wood. In either location, choose high gloss paint for easy cleaning.
Furniture: Furnishings should be sparse but functional. Add a sturdy mudroom bench or window-seat for removing shoes, Some mudroom benches open up to reveal more storage area. A mirror will both enlarge the space and provide a last look upon exiting the home.


Holy smokes. Can you believe it's Halloween at the end of this week? I adore the fall: the crisp air, outfits of jeans and sweaters, wild print leggings with scarves and boots, changing leaves, and my birthday make it pretty awesome in my books. It's not as crazy at work; the harvest of squash, pumpkins, pears and apples, yum! Crockpot meals and cozy couch nights under a blanket. Yay! It's still warm enough during the day, and this year we have had lots of sunshine. Because it hasn't been grey and rainy, this month has gone by fast. Or maybe it's just being so darn busy that has made this month fly by?
Have you made Halloween plans yet? Are you giving out candy? I know there has been some discussion on paleo forums about what to hand out; the last thing anyone needs is more sugar… I don't envy having to make that decision. I have never gone trick or treating. I grew up in a house where we didn't celebrate Halloween, and with no kids, I am pretty sure I have missed my window. I mean I look young for my age, but not young enough to trick or treat.
My best friend has an adorable 4 year old who will be going out as Cinderella this year, and the veritable loot of sugary snacks goes under her pillow the night of the 31st for the Pumpkin Fairy. The Pumpkin Fairy flies in while she sleeps and exchanges all that candy for a toy. Genius. I love the Pumpkin Fairy. More kids need to be visited by the Pumpkin Fairy. I need to be visited by that darn fairy!
For all you adults out there, this Spooky Paleo Tiger Ice Cream Smoothie is your healthy Halloween treat. It is sweet, feeding my sugar craving, and molasses does have iron (something I am often deficient of) and other nutrients, and the orange juice wards off those pesky viruses that seem to pop up with the cooler weather (vitamin C and anti-oxidant action baby!). Creamy orange goodness, that is like a paleo tiger ice cream smoothie. Breakfast or dessert, this should satisfy that craving for your sweet tooth!
Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
Drink while you consider your trick or treat route.

Holley, is there a time of year that you're not wearing wild print leggings?
Also, I forgot to ask if you'd tried adding any booze in this one. What do you think? Vodka? Something to keep the parents warm while trick-or-treating with the kids….
I've never tried a molasses orange combo but bet its one I would like.
I was surprised at how much I loved this smoothie when Holley made me one!


The Jatuchak Plaza is another small plaza in the Chatuchak district in Bangkok. If you are going to visit the Chatuchak Market or even the Or Tor Kor Market then a visit to this small plaza would make a good resting place after a long day out on the open air markets as it is close to the MRT system. The market is very basic as it is mainly for local Thai's in the area and not really a tourist destination like the Chatuchak market.
There is also the option of JJ Mall as the plaza is between the two markets. This area is very difficult to get too by metered taxi and it is best to plan your visit either via the BTS Mo Chit Station a short drive away or the MRT subway system at the market. Jatuchak Plaza is not worth a visit out of central Bangkok alone but as part of visiting the area of Chatuchak as the Queen Sirikit Park is well worth a visit as well.

The concept of a career is being shaken because of technological advancements. With technology transforming businesses and workforces rapidly, we have to rethink how we manage our careers. Many of are used to learning skills necessary for a career by going to college, a university, or a trade school. The purpose for you was to find a major or trade that would lead you to a well-paying job. Today, however, the mindset needed to keep pace with technological advances and skills development throughout our careers today will involve Lifelong Learning.
To stay relevant and keep pace with these fast changing times, lifelong learning is key to your career planning. Natalie Portman has said, "I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful." Many individuals dread studying, but studying and learning are two different things. A simple first step to lifelong learning is embracing your curiosity. The Web has made it easier to find answers to questions you're interested in learning about; using curiosity to spark your interests can help you learn.
Knowing your learning style can inspire greater curiosity which is a motivator for lifelong learning. Another benefit of knowing your learning style is that it can show you how to take advantage of your natural skills. The Highlands Ability Battery can help you see which learning channels suit you best. As certain careers are forecasted to change or disappear in the near future, knowing your learning style can help you understand topics faster to stay relevant in the workforce. Understanding how different fields interact with your job or career necessitate lifelong learning to adapt to new things. If one does not include lifelong learning in their career development, they will soon be left behind.
A career is an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. As jobs and businesses are affected by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is an increasing trend of employees changing jobs more frequently. The idea of having a career within a single industry is being challenged. More and more we see professional identities becoming hyphenated or hybridized to reflect this shift in the workforce. To keep pace with the times, lifelong learning is now essential to your career itinerary.

Here are the 8 opponents Thunder will face after NBA season resumes
Alex Goodlett/Getty Images

On Thursday, the NBA's Board of Governors is expected to approve Commissioner Adam Silver's proposal to have 22 of the league's teams relocated to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. There, the league is expected to resume competition on July 31 and wrap up its season with the 2020 NBA Finals ending by early October.
Before the postseason begins, however, the 22 teams invited to Orlando will each play eight regular-season games. Although the dates of the games aren't yet known, the scheduling of opponents will be done in a very simple way.
In effect, to determine each team's eight opponents, the league will simply resume the 2019-20 schedule as of March 11 — the day the league suspended operations.
If a team is scheduled to play one of the eight teams not invited to Orlando, that game will simply be skipped. As it relates specifically to the Thunder, that means that its eight opponents, in order, will be:
In order to generate and preserve revenue, the league needs as many games to be televised as possible. While some believe that the games could be contested "NCAA style," featuring multiple games being played at once, those final details are not yet known. The opponents are, though.
The Thunder will resume their season with a 40-24 record. They will own the Western Conference's fifth seed by virtue of owning the tiebreaker over the Houston Rockets, who have the same record. The Thunder and Rockets trail the fourth-seeded Utah Jazz by just one game in the standings.
While there is no such thing as "homecourt advantage" in the NBA's campus in Orlando, seeds and placement within the playoff bracket are still at stake. If the current seeds held throughout the playoffs, the Thunder's route to the NBA Finals would go through the Nuggets, Clippers and Lakers.
That is quite likely to change since seeds will be up for grabs after the league resumes competition.
Player grades: Thunder lose high-scoring affair to Hawks, 137-132
Player grades for the Thunder's 137-132 loss to the Hawks.
Player grades: SGA's 34 points and game-winner leads Thunder to 101-99 win over Nuggets
Player grades for the Thunder's 101-99 win over the Nuggets.

Payan v. Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc.
2010 WL 99122 (U.S. Dist. Ct. D. N.J. 2010) (Unpublished)
Opinion Date: January 6, 2010
TRUTH-IN-LENDING ACT — In the Truth-in-Lending Act, certain fees need not be disclosed unless such fees are unreasonable and are not bona fide and the failure to disclose a yield spread pre-payment premium is not a violation of the Act because it is not a material disclosure and also is not an item required to be included as part of the finance charge disclosure requirements.
Utilizing a broker, homeowners refinanced their mortgage. Shortly thereafter, the homeowners came to believe that the loan's terms where unfavorable. They sued the broker and the lender claiming that the broker, acting on behalf of the lender, had made misrepresentations, including that that the broker could secure an affordable loan. The homeowners also alleged that the lender omitted material information in violation of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (CFA). The claimed omissions included the "finance charge," and the "Yield Spread Premium." They alleged that many of these charges were neither bona fide nor reasonable. In addition, they claimed that they never received the TILA-required "right to rescind" notice. The lender responded that: (a) the borrowers received the required notice; (b) the fees were bona fide and reasonable; and (c) it was not the mortgage broker's agent.
The District Court dismissed the homeowners' claims. First, it noted that the TILA states that certain charges do not need to be disclosed unless such fees are unreasonable and are not bona fide. In the instant case, the Court ruled that the homeowners failed to state which charges and fees were not bona fide and unreasonable. Second, the Court found that the lender was able to demonstrate that the charges and fees identified by the homeowners were properly disclosed. Third, it held that a failure to disclose the yield spread pre-payment premium did not violate the TILA because it was neither a "material disclosure" nor an item required for inclusion as part of the finance charge under the TILA (since it was already incorporated into the total finance charge). Fourth, the Court found that the homeowners failed to demonstrate that the broker was the lender's agent since they failed to explain how and why the lender would be accountable for actions committed by the broker. Fifth, it rejected the homeowners' claim that they did not receive the notice to rescind since both homeowners signed the notice form and gave it to the lender. Further, it held that the homeowners failed to rebut the presumption that the notice's signature was theirs.

Occupy the Tax Code: Using the Estate Tax to Reduce Inequality and Spur Economic Growth

Inequality has been increasing in the United States. We should care about this increase because inequality contributes to a variety of adverse social consequences that persist across generations. There is also substantial empirical evidence that inequality has a long-term negative impact on economic growth.
For many decades, federal tax policy has played an important role in reducing inequality, although the impact of federal taxes on inequality has waxed and waned depending on the focus of elected officials. We argue that the estate tax is a particularly apt vehicle to reduce inequality because inheritances are a major source of wealth among the rich, and studies suggest that inherited wealth has a more deleterious impact on economic growth than inequality caused by self-made wealth. Although there are loopholes in the estate tax, it is still effective in moderating the amount of wealth that is passed within a family from generation to generation.
The major criticism about the estate tax — that it discourages savings — is inaccurate. Standard tax theory cannot predict the impact of the estate tax on savings and the empirical evidence is mixed. Moreover, the estate tax has a less harmful impact on savings than the income tax for two reasons. First, the event that triggers estate tax liability — death — is ignored by taxpayers during the period of life in which they are likely to be most productive. Second, the expected value of the estate tax's effective rate is quite low during the period of life in which most taxpayers create wealth.

Brian Slagel er ejer og grundlægger af Metal Blade Records. Slagel er kendt for at have givet Metallica deres første gennembrud i 1982 med en medvirken med sangen "Hit the Lights" på Metal Blade opsamlingsalbummet Metal Massacre, og har siden udgivet albumet af Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning og Amon Amarth, blandt andre.

Da Slayer var åbningsband for Bitch fik Brian Slagel øjnene op for Slayer da de spillede en coverversion af Iron Maidens "Phantom Of The Opera". Slagel overtalte Slayer til at indspille en sang til opsamlingspladen Metal Massacre III, og snart efter ville Slagel have Slayer til at skrive kontrakt med sit nyoprettede pladeselskab Metal Blade.

Camille-André Lemoyne (* 1822 in Saint-Jean d'Angély, Département Charente-Maritime; † 1907) war ein französischer Jurist und Dichter.

André Lemoyne studierte Rechtswissenschaften an der Sorbonne in Paris und wurde nach erfolgreichem Abschluss dort als Advokat zugelassen. Bereits aus dieser Zeit stammen seine ersten literarischen Veröffentlichungen.

Als nach der Revolution die zweite Republik ausgerufen worden war, gab Lemoyne seine Kanzlei auf und widmete sich nur noch der Literatur. Seinen Lebensunterhalt verdiente er ab 1848 als Schriftsetzer in der Druckerei von Firmin Didot.

Ab 1856 konnte Lemoyne regelmäßig seine Gedichte in verschiedenen Zeitschriften (meist im Feuilleton) veröffentlichen. Gesammelt erschienen sie 1860 unter den Titeln "Stella Maris", "Ecce Homo" und "Renoncement". Von der offiziellen Literaturkritik wie auch von seinen Lesern wurden sie sehr gelobt und von der Académie française mit einem Preis ausgezeichnet.

Werke (Auswahl)
 Les sauterelles de Jean de Saintonge. 1863.
 Les roses d'Antan. 1865–69 (2 Bde.)
 Les charmeuses. 1867.
 Une idylle normande. Roman. 1874.
 Alise d'Évran. Roman. 1876.
 Poésies. 1883–85 (Sammlung in 2 Bdn.).

Marmite was first introduced to me as a mosquito repellent during an itchy, bug-filled summer. A British friend claimed that if eaten regularly, Marmite would somehow seep out of your pores as you perspired and cause all nearby mosquitoes to flee from the odor. It turned out that she didn't even need to resort to hard-sell tactics like that; I fell in love with Marmite as soon as I had my first taste of the dark, sticky spread. Made from concentrated brewers' yeast, Marmite (and its Australian counterpart, Vegemite) is a food paste usually spread on bread, but it's also used to season dishes. Its distinct salty taste is enriched with a strong savory and meaty flavor that is reminiscent of beef marinated in soy sauce for much longer than necessary.
However, those who dislike Marmite—and unfortunately, there are many—would compare Marmite to worse things. A friend who tried Marmite and ended up rinsing with mouthwash immediately afterwards thinks it smells like toe jam, and I can't say he's entirely wrong. Like many of my fellow enthusiasts, I may love Marmite, but I'm also quite realistic about it charms.
Unless you've tried Marmite and decided which side of the divide you belong, you might not understand all the fuss, but our different reactions are nothing new to British people. Even in the United Kingdom, it is a divisive food, with Marmite's own advertisements humorously acknowledging the number of people who loathe it. It's such a symbol of extreme opinions that Tom Hardy used its divisiveness as a metaphor for his new show, Taboo.
When the first Marmite factory opened in 1902, its founders would never have believed that Marmite would one day serve as a barometer of the fortunes of British society. The factory was built in Burton-Upon-Trent, Staffordshire, a town known for its beer breweries (it's where Bass Brewery was founded), thus making it an ideal place to procure yeast. Fifty million jars are still produced annually there, and in 2010, a stone monument in the shape of a Marmite jar and informally dubbed the "Monumite" was unveiled in the town.
Most people enjoy Marmite spread thinly over buttered toast and taken with a cup of hot, milky tea. The only way this blissful experience can be improved is by cutting up the Marmite toast into strips and dipping them into the runny yolk of soft-boiled eggs. But true Marmite lovers don't limit themselves to the classic buttered toast. The multitude of ways Marmite can be eaten includes Marmite-banana sandwiches, Marmite French onion soup, Marmite popcorn, and my personal favorite, the fried Marmite chicken that you can find in neighborhood Chinese eateries in Malaysia. The chicken is first battered and fried until it's crisp and then glazed with a sweet Marmite sauce. If you love Marmite, this is one of the most sublime ways to enjoy it, with its amazing combination of sensations: crunchy, juicy, sticky, tender, sweet, salty, umami. However, if Marmite repulses you, the smell wafting from the kitchen alone will likely make you ill. For those who'd like to try Marmite chicken at home, there's an easy recipe here, though you might want to omit the Maggi Seasoning to lessen the saltiness of the sauce.
Although it's not as easy to find Marmite in the United States as in Commonwealth countries, it's usually stocked by British food shops, Wegmans, and even Walmart—sometimes at triple the U.K. price. You might find better prices on Amazon, but unfortunately not for the limited-edition versions that have been released over the past few years. These include a blend made of 30 percent Guinness yeast, a fancy Valentine's Day Marmite with champagne, one mixed with enough edible gold flakes to be served at a Trump breakfast (although the Trumps are clearly Marmite haters), and an "extra-old" version that has been matured for 28 days. Some people might be lucky enough to persuade a Brit to smuggle a jar or two of limited-edition Marmite out, and it should be noted that Marmite is no stranger to illegal transportation. Thanks to its pungent aroma, it has often been used as a tool in drug-smuggling operations, smeared over packets of cannabis or used to hide meth.
Along with its unfortunate involvement in drugs, Marmite has also managed to offend Denmark, not due to its taste but because of its vitamin additives, which led to a temporary ban in the country. Marmite has a high quantity of folic acid, thiamin, and niacin (vitamin B3), which means it's occasionally featured in the media as a superfood, but maybe the Danes are right to be wary, as ingesting too much niacin can damage the liver.
At the end of the day, though, it doesn't matter how much you tout Marmite's health benefits. It's clear that people who don't like it would rather swallow congealed french fry grease. However, most Marmite lovers are just fine with that; people who are happy to eat beer-brewing detritus are generally not a proselytizing bunch. But should you be brave enough to join the Marmite ranks, we're happy to welcome you. Just as long as there isn't a shortage leading to another Marmageddon.


This package could come in handy for everyone who wants to build an implementation and make sure it meets its requirements. The spec class is nothing special but a Phpunit test case. It has to be extended and the abstract methods are implemented.
After you can use them as tests for your transport. Some of the specs require an interaction with a real broker.

D'Angelo,
"Voodoo," the sophomore effort from neo-soulster D'Angelo, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's pop chart this week, selling 321,000 copies. And that's no small feat: It topped the first-week sales of the latest releases from established R&B acts TLC (318,000), Mary J. Blige (239,000), and R. Kelly (216,000). But "Voodoo" almost didn't get made — following the double-platinum success of 1995's "Brown Sugar," D'Angelo slipped into a period of creative paralysis. "The thing about writer's block is that you want to write so f—king bad," he tells EW, "[but] the songs don't come out that way. They come from life. So you've got to live to write."
Unfortunately, being on the road for two years promoting "Brown Sugar" didn't give the soulman much time for normal life experience. In fact, it wasn't until the arrival of his first child in '98 that D'Angelo began to create again. "We started the sessions [for "Voodoo"] not long after the birth of my son," he explains, "and a lot of the songs I was writing were about him, because that's what I was going through in my life." Two years, a sexy new video ["Untitled (How Does It Feel)"], and waves of critical praise later, D'Angelo has the top album in the land. But he learned his lesson, and isn't taking any chances on another debilitating bout of writer's block: Last year he welcomed child No. 2, a daughter.
