Getting Ready for PvP
One of the big focuses for this patch is to get the game ready for PvP. We realized early on however that we wouldn't be able to get it done in one go, so a lot of the work in 1.5 is going into laying the groundwork. And that means making the system more balanced, and in the process implementing some changes we've wanted to make for a long time in terms of how the combat system works.
Balancing always causes a variety of reactions. Often these reactions are negative. People don't like getting their stuff "nerfed" and this reaction is completely understandable as it is one that we have ourselves. I know where it's coming from, since everyone who works here plays a lot of the same games you do and have gone through that process and been equally annoyed at changes that get made. Just recently I picked up Diablo 3 after not playing for a couple months and realized the entire rotation my Monk had been built around got trashed by updates. I was not happy.
That being said, there is an overall play experience we need to give priority to, and to do that properly, things need to get adjusted. So when forced to do things that need to get done, that have a strong chance of making some people unhappy, my philosophy is fairly simple:
"When we taketh away, we giveth too."
To a large extent that's why we haven't made huge sweeping changes to the classes yet. I'd much rather deal with things all at once in one comprehensive set of changes than to do things piecemeal and cause people minor annoyances all the time. When we make big changes that are likely to cause some amount of user angst, the idea is to make sure we add some cool stuff in the process. And cool stuff is coming.
System Overhauls
When approaching the changes, there are a number of things we are trying to fix. Here are few of the bigger problems we see with the game that are fairly systemic.
- Stats are unbalanced in their usefulness, with everyone always balancing towards maximum offense. Haste, crit power, crit and magic/melee are far and away the most useful gems and there is no useful tradeoff. In going with Sid Meier's definition of a game being a "series of meaningful choices", this system hasn't worked as desired.
- Buffs are annoying. They drag out combat and the only choice of whether to use them or not is the player's tolerance for the extra button presses. Extra button presses are not fun. Especially when trying to burn through 42 energy.
- Damage scaling, by which I mean the range of damage of values a player can expect from their actions, is far too vast. Particularly when we get to PvP, we don't want the game to devolve into whoever gets the first crit winning the match.
So, what are we doing to fix this? Well, I'll start by discussing some of the changes you may not like the sound of.
- All stats (except Magic and Melee) will be calculated using a new curve, as opposed to the fairly linear system we've been using. This will enhance the diminishing returns effect, which means over-gemming a particular stat will be less useful than it currently is.
- The range of crit power is being reduced. Crit Power will now scale to 200% so that damage is less bursty.
- Haste is being moved to its own custom curve such that it will never decrease as you level-up, which was always a bit counterintuitive. As a result of this and the new diminishing returns curve, the effective Haste percent you will see in 1.5 will be substantially lower than the current game.
- Buffs as combat actions have been removed.
So, those are pretty hardcore changes. I did say when we taketh away, we giveth too though. So what are we planning to giveth?
- Combat timers have all moved to a hundredth of a second, as opposed to a twentieth. That means every time your haste increases, you'll typically see a change in the ability time.
- Cooldowns for actions will almost universally use haste now. There are a few exceptions, but in general you'll be able to maintain any attack patterns you use when your haste changes.
- Damage will be scaled up to get everyone around the same median they currently have.
- Level Cap has been raised to 30.
- Ability trees have been expanded to Tier 4, with 16 abilities total.
- Buffs have been replaced with Passive Abilities.
With 1.5, we will be introducing the most comprehensive, detailed, yet light and easy to use combat system on the planet.
Sorry, channeling Apple there for a moment. But let's tackle that last bullet, since it is really the core fundamental change in the system.
Passive Abilities
Passives are something many of you are familiar with, and something that was even part of the initial design. For reasons now lost to time, they did not happen, and it's taken us this long to get to a point where we could spend the time to implement them. For those of you who aren't sure what I mean, Passive are basically abilities that are "always on" and don't need a button to activate.
The idea was to streamline the abilities so that once you are in combat, each action is moving the combat forward - namely, putting hurt on those monsters! To do so, each class now has eight passive abilities that will grant the player a range of different gameplay options, depending on their class.
Passives range from the rather pedestrian "increase this stat", to abilities that fire (proc) based on the flow of combat. These are things like granting the player an extra attack if an attack is dodged, increasing the player's haste temporarily after being hit, or giving the player a crit bonus after they kill an enemy. Each class has eight passives, and the way the player chooses to place their ability points will have a much more profound effect in how their character plays.
The end result of these changes is that combats should be a little bit faster, and a lot more dynamic. Gone will be the days of mindlessly going through your buff rotation or stitching things in as you get weird cooldown windows. Instead combat will be much smoother, and as various abilities "proc" or conditions change on the battlefield, you'll be reacting to optimize your output and moving the combat forward.
We're still working on the final abilities, and will be adjusting them as we get further in testing. We will aim to get those ability trees out on the forums ahead of the patch.
What Else?
That touches on the core combat changes we're making for 1.5. It is by no means comprehensive as there are a lot of smaller things we're fixing as well, but that covers the major points. Feel free to ask questions below. Things are still changing by the minute here, so nothing is final yet.
Like I did for 1.3, I'll be discussing other major changes in further design notes. So look out for those updates as we get closer to wrapping this up.

Attention, everyone: 20th century Barnard students were loose women. Well, not really, but that seems to be the underlying message of this 1920s article about a controversial "purity survey" in a Columbia University humor magazine. Here were some of the survey's findings: 50% of the women indulged in necking, 34% "soul kissed", 49% had kissed ten different dudes, 66% were tipplers, and 32 women had been "tight." We'll leave it to you to figure out that last one. [Susie Bright's Journal]

Author(s): Thomas Penn
'He were a dark prince, and infinitely suspicious, and his times full of secret conspiracies and troubles' Sir Francis Bacon.
It was 1501. England had been ravaged for decades by conspiracy, violence, murders, coups and counter-coups. Henry VII had clambered to the top of the heap - a fugitive with a flimsy claim to England's crown who through luck, guile and ruthlessness had managed to win the throne and stay on it for sixteen years. Although he built palaces, hosted jousts, gave out lavish presents and sent ambassadors across Europe, for many he remained a usurper, a false king. But Henry had a crucial asset: his queen and their children, the living embodiment of his hoped-for dynasty. Now, in what would be the crowning glory of his reign, his elder son would marry a great Spanish princess. On a cold November day this girl, the sixteen-year-old Catherine of Aragon, arrived in London for a wedding upon which the fate of England would hinge...
In his remarkable debut, historian Thomas Penn recreates an England which is both familiar and very strange - a country that seems medieval yet modern, in which honour and chivalry mingle with espionage, realpolitik, high finance and corruption. It is the story of the transformation of a young, vulnerable boy, Prince Henry, into the aggressive teenager who would become Henry VIII, and of Catherine of Aragon, his future queen. And at its heart is the tragic, magnetic figure of Henry VII - controlling, paranoid, avaricious, with a Machiavellian charm and will to power. Rich with incident and drama, filled with wonderfully drawn characters, Winter King is an unforgettable history of pageantry, surveillance, the thirst for glory - and the fraught, unstable birth of Tudor England.
Thomas Penn was born in 1974. He has a PhD in early Tudor history from Clare College, Cambridge. Winter King is his first book.

Only my streaming boxes like chromecast/roku can accept AC3 but I think plex still transcode it lol... and opus is "future proof"And I thought there is a transparent quality where the quality will be identical? Making your content more compatible, yes, that's a good reason for a format change.The problem with converting from one lossy format to another is that although each encoding step "itself" should be "transparent" given a proper bitrate, the errors build up - so there's no guarantee that after two "transparent" encoding rounds the end result would still be "transparent" compared to the original file. This is why it may be preferrable, provided you have the storage space, to keep the best quality version you have stored somewhere even if you convert to another format - just in case you may decide to use something different yet again in the future.

Bhubaneswar: Maoists Saturday killed two of the six men they had abducted two days ago in Odisha's Malkangiri district, police said.
The bodies of Jaga Madakami and Tulsi Behera were found near Bhejangwada area, Superintendent of Police Akhileswar Singh told IANS.
About 30-40 rebels had kidnapped six people, including a village ward member, Thursday from Chintalwada and Ramaguda village, about 700 km from state capital Bhubaneswar. They set free three of them Friday while one person is still being held captive, the police official said.
Maoists are active in more than half of Odisha's 30 districts. Malkangiri is considered to be one of their strongholds. The killings come a day after the rebels shot dead a 65-year-old man at a village in the same district.
Singh said the Maoists have lost their grip on people due to the setting up of a Border Security Force (BSF) camp in the area. Besides, massive combing operations in the region have bolstered the confidence of the people.
The rebels are also frustrated because people are not cooperating and have, therefore, resorted to terror tactics like abduction and killing, he said.

Real Time talking head Bill Maher, with a panel of guests such as Mullings.com publisher/founder and columnist, Republican strategist, and former Vice President Dan Quayle and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich press secretary Rich Galen, The Eisenhower Institute's Jennifer Donahue, and Current TV host "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" (which used to be on MSNBC) Keith Olbermann (himself), took shots at Ron Paul, due to his answer to Wolf Blitzer (of "The Situation Room") over the health care issue at the CNN/Tea Party GOP presidential debate last week.
The exchange that transpired and erupted into a national media ruckus went like this:
MR. BLITZER: Before I get to Michele Bachmann, I want to just -- you're a physician, Ron Paul. So, you're a doctor; you know something about this subject. Let me ask you this hypothetical question: A healthy, 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides: You know what? I'm not going to spend 200 (dollars) or $300 a month for health insurance, because I'm healthy; I don't need it. But you know, something terrible happens; all of a sudden, he needs it. Who's going to pay for it, if he goes into a coma, for example? Who pays for that?
REP. PAUL: Well, in a society -- in a society that you accept welfarism and socialism, he expects the government to take care of him.
MR. BLITZER: Well, what do you want?
REP. PAUL: But what he should do is whatever he wants to do, and assume responsibility for himself. My advice to him would have a major medical policy, but not before --
MR. BLITZER: But he doesn't have that. He doesn't have it and he's -- and he needs -- he needs intensive care for six months. Who pays?
REP. PAUL: That's what freedom is all about: taking your own risks. (Cheers, applause.) This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody -- (applause) --
MR. BLITZER: But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah!
REP. PAUL: No --
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah!
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes! (Applause.)
REP. PAUL: I practiced medicine before we had Medicaid, in the early 1960s when I got out of medical school. I practiced at Santa
Rosa Hospital in San Antonio. And the churches took care of them. We never turned anybody away from the hospitals. (Applause.)
And we've given up on this whole concept that we might take care of ourselves and assume responsibility for ourselves, our neighbors, our friends; our churches would do it. This whole idea -- that's the reason the cost is so high. The cost is so high because we dump it on the government. It becomes a bureaucracy. It becomes special interests. It kowtows to the insurance companies, then the drug companies. Then on top of that, you have the inflation. The inflation devalues the dollar. We have lack of competition. There's no competition in medicine. Everybody's protected by licensing. We should actually legalize alternative health care, allow people to have -- practice what they want. (Cheers, applause.)
Incidentally, Maher neglected to mention the last set of statements that Paul made at the debate, which explained his position on the matter, and yet Maher tried to sandbag Paul by launching into a "Ron-Paul-wants-that-30-year-old-man-in-a-coma-to-die" tirade that was unbelievably laughable all the way.
Maher's nonsense can be found here:
(Maher's potshot actually takes place at time index 5:03 in the YouTube clip, just to showcase how obtuse and myopic this douchebag really is.)
Maher and his panel, in a pathetically snarky yet par-for-the-course statist Leftist fashion, begin their attack by quoting Blitzer and Paul's statements during that moment in the debate. When Maher paraphrases, albeit in a twisted way, Ron's answer, Maher condescendingly screams out, "He's in a coma! How the fuck can he know what he wants to do?" Then Galen snarkily nods, "It narrows his choices!" Maher agrees, "It narrows his choices!"
Oh please! Blitzer's hypothetical was ridiculous to say the least. One day a healthy 30-year-old man who chooses not to buy health insurance is somehow on life support the next day, and the hypothetical doesn't even allow wiggle room for what might have caused him to collapse in the first place? And Ron Paul's answer was outrageous, because he favors separating health care and State, whereas Maher and his cronies don't? Who's kidding whom here?
It certainly tells me that Maher and his companions need to have their heads checked if they think they can respond with emotion without logic and critical thinking standing in the way of their collective judgment.

Apolipoprotein CII (apoCII) is a protein found in large fat particles absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is also found in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), which is made up of mostly triglycerides.
This article discusses the test used to check for apoCII in a sample of your blood.
ApoCII; Apoprotein CII; ApoC2
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
You may be told not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
ApoCII measurements can help to determine the specific type or cause of high blood lipids (hyperlipidemia).
The normal range is 3 - 5 mg/dL. However, apo CII is usually reported as present or absent.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
High levels of apoCII may be due to:
Low apoCII levels are seen in persons with a rare condition called familial apoprotein CII deficiency. This causes chylomicronemia syndrome.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Apolipoprotein measurements may provide more detail about your risk for heart disease, but the added value of this test beyond a lipid panel is unknown.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Beneficial bolts: Lightning can do some good
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. Lightning strikes kill thousands of people every year. Does lightning ever do anyone any good? –B. Franklin
A. On the planetary scale, lightning may have helped in the early formation of amino acids, precursor to life on Earth, says Colby College's James R. Fleming, historian of science and technology. Long ago, lightning perhaps brought fire to humankind. Today, lightning fixes nitrogen in the air, creating natural fertilizer, and ignites eco-sound, forest-thinning fires. Also, lightning's electromagnetic fields aid scientists in study of the atmosphere.
And every once in a while, says FMA Research Inc., a consortium of atmospheric scientists, lightning does a few bolt-from-the-blue individual good deeds. In 1856, reported by Scientific American magazine, a strike in Kensington, New Hampshire, made a hole a foot wide and 30 feet deep– a "well" that soon filled with good water. A Greenwood, South Carolina, electrician was hit and never again felt cold, even when working outside in sub-zero temperatures. There are stories of blind people regaining their sight, and even published claims of victims with improved intelligence.
But these are rare exceptions, with lightning deserving from all of us the utmost respect.
Q. Baseball has plenty of switch-hitters, batting usually left-handed for advantage against right-handed pitchers, and vice versa. But why have there been so few switch-pitchers, such as Greg Harris some years ago with the Montreal Expos? –S. Kofax
A. Handedness is strongest for ballistic movements such as kicking, clubbing, hammering, and especially accurate throwing, making ambidextrous pitching tough, says University of Washington neurobiologist William H. Calvin, author of A Brain for All Seasons. For batting, both sides of the body are pretty equally involved, and switching around is more a matter of practice.
But in pitching, one arm executes a very complicated plan constructed during "get set" and must release the ball within a very tight "launch window" to hit the desired place in the strike zone. The batter can keep correcting his swing as the ball approaches, but the pitcher is launching an unguided missile. The brain usually does that job best with a preferred hand.
Footnote on Greg Harris: It proved so upsetting to batters to have one pitch coming at them from the right, next from the left, that Baseball soon ruled a pitcher couldn't switch pitching hands during the same at-bat.
Q. The Ordovician extinction (440 million years ago), the Devonian extinction (370 mya), the Permian extinction (250 mya), the Triassic extinction (220 mya), and the Cretaceous extinction (65 mya, ending the age of the dinosaurs): Each wiped out close to half of Earth species then alive, due possibly to meteor impact, global glaciation, super-volcanoes, etc. Another is the more recent Holocene extinction. What calamity caused this one? –F. Flintstone
A. "Caused" isn't the right word, because this Sixth Great Extinction is ongoing, says physicist Stephen Webb in If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens... Where Is Everybody? It's happening right now! This epoch encompasses the last 10,000 years, up to the present day. Unlike previous extinctions, "in this case the cause is clear: human activity. We hunt species to extinction, introduce alien species into new ecosystems and cause havoc, and most importantly, we destroy habitats."
By some estimates, species are disappearing at 120,000 times the "normal" rate. Many in destroyed rain forests were never even documented as species in the first place. If these activities continue, says Webb, global atmosphere and climatic effects seem certain to occur. Will Homo sapiens then join the list of disappearers?

Artwell Gallery exhibit on love set to open Saturday
Torrington >> Artwell Gallery's latest exhibition, More Amore, is set to open Saturday, Feb. 23 after a week's delay because of the snow.
More Amore focuses on the artists' interpretation of love. The show was supposed to open around Valentine's Day, however, it had to be pushed back. Artwell organizers are excited to debut this collection of almost 30 visions of love created by Artwell members and friends.
The public reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the 45 Main St. gallery.
Artwell's Executive Director, Michael Yurgeles, said the gallery has done a show like this for the past several years. More Amore is an open concept exhibit that allows for submissions from artists of all ages.
"We always look forward to what people come up with," said Cheryl Delles, director of communications at Artwell. "They cover love, romance and everything in between. We have many different perspectives in this show; some are very dark and melancholy while others are celebratory."
Yurgeles described the process of curating this show. Artwell sends an email to the 1,000 people on its contact list and post on their Facebook page asking for submissions. The call for entries begins about a week before the opening. The gallery began the process for this year's More Amore exhibit at the beginning of February, said Yurgeles.
There is a fee for people wishing to enter their work. The price is discounted for Artwell members, said Yurgeles.
"It is open to almost any medium," said Yurgeles. "This year we have about 30 entries from about 15 people."
The exhibition will be free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided, said Yurgeles.
Tomorrow night, weather permitting, will be a fun night filled with art, food and music, provided by Artwell members.
"We have a lot of people who are not just visual artists," said Yurgeles. "Many of them are musicians."
It is this diversity of talent that got Yurgeles interested in Artwell in the first place. He said he moved to Northwest Connecticut from New Hampshire in 1999, and began looking for a creative hub in Torrington. A friend suggested he attend an opening at Artwell and Yurgeles said he was hooked.
"I was so impressed, not just with the artwork but with the good vibes," said Yurgeles.
He said the Artwell gallery has tried to keep those good vibes alive with each show.
Delles said everyone at Artwell is very excited about More Amore.

A World War II-era fighter plane has been discovered some 240 feet below the surface in the waters off Miami Beach, officials with an exploration company said Tuesday.
The 28-foot Grumman F6F Hellcat was discovered back in June during one of several dives by OceanGate Inc. The company had been using high-frequency sonar and high-definition photo and video equipment to gather data on artificial reefs in Miami-Dade County waters.
"The discovery of this artifact is significant because it helps us reflect on and learn more about our country's heritage, but also because it highlights the key role that direct observation plays in undersea exploration," Stockton Rush, co-founder and CEO of OceanGate, said in a statement.
Initial scans provided by NOAA showed a 100-foot long object that was believed to be a sunken ship, but when a team in OceanGate's Antipodes submersible went to the site, they discovered it was the distinctive fighter plane. Officials at the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. Navy confirmed it was a Hellcat.
Dive teams have been back to the site to collect data, photos and videos of the plane wreckage, which were donated to the Naval History & Heritage Command in Washington, D.C.
Sunken U.S. Navy ships and aircraft are protected from unauthorized disturbance under the Sunken Military Craft Act.
The Hellcat was flown by both Navy and Marine Corps pilots during World War II, when Florida was an active training center. Some 79 Hellcats were lost off of Florida's Atlantic Coast between 1943 and 1952, with only eight of the losses after 1945. Not all of the losses were fatal, as some of the pilots managed successful water landings and bailouts.
"In the course of its production run, 12,275 Hellcats were delivered to the Navy," Bob Rasmussen, director of the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, said in a statement. "During peak production one each hour, 24 hours per day, rolled off the Grumman line. Of these only a handful exist today and the discovery of one more, even under 240 feet of Atlantic Ocean, is important to Naval Aviation History."

Make an assessment of your Mg deficit symptoms right away, and if you have two or more, you should consider a daily magnesium supplement for at least three months at as high a level of magnesium that is comfortable for your digestive tract. During that same three months, add daily foods you like that are high in magnesium.
See the treatment section of this webpage for tips on correcting any magnesium deficit you may have. If you are treated by a physician, show him/her this webpage to work towards a healthy magnesium status for you.

Set in picturesque Tuckaleechee Cove, along the winding banks of the Little River, Townsend and Walland, Tennessee provide an idyllic retreat from a hectic life. Plan your next break from the hustle and bustle of urban living by joining us in The Peaceful Side of the Smokies the Gateway to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Originally settled by Native Americans, Townsend has had archaeological finds dating to 2000 B.C. Pottery and ax head fragments have been discovered which are from the Woodland period. The area remained home to Native Americans and by the 1600's the cove was part of the home-place of the Cherokee Indians, who had a fortified entrance at the mouth of the cove. This rich history is told through artifacts on display at Townsend's Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center.
In 1900, Colonel W.B. Townsend purchased a large parcel of virgin forest in the Smokies and established a logging operation in what is now The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He erected a band saw mill in Tuckaleechee Cove and lent his name to the town that formed in the vicinity of the Little River Lumber Company. Today, visitors to the area can relive the logging history of Townsend by touring Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum.
Modern-day Townsend, and its neighboring community of Walland, offer accommodations in the form of bed and breakfast inns, cabin rentals, campgrounds, hotels and motels. Dining opportunities provide restaurants ranging from down-home cooking to new-South cuisine. Outdoor activities such as horse-back riding, tubing and fly fishing on the Little River are at hand; shopping at arts and crafts shops, country stores and specialty boutiques are all within easy reach by car.
Positioned as a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Townsend and Walland are known as The Peaceful Side of the Smokies and The Gateway to Cades Cove (the most visited destination in the Park). Unique in history, both Native American and of early European settlers, Townsend and Walland retain the quaint charm of a bygone time, while offering all the modern-day conveniences anyone could desire on a vacation.
Sit back, relax, and view these pages to plan your own idyllic retreat to Townsend/Walland, The Peaceful Side of the Smokies and Gateway to Cades Cove.

Facebook has a billion users, which makes it very attractive to media companies. Media companies have lots of content those billion users might like to look at and talk about, which makes them very attractive to Facebook.
Easy match, right? Not exactly: The media guys have been here before, with Google and Apple, and are trying to figure out how to work with Facebook without getting worked over. And Facebook … well, sometimes it's hard to figure out exactly what Facebook wants from its partners, media and otherwise.
That's where Dan Rose comes in. The Facebook executive is the one in charge of creating and sustaining those links with the outside world, and that can be a tricky task. See: Zynga. Oh. And bear in mind that Facebook has a $4 billion advertising business, and has plans to make that number much bigger, which means it's competing with those partners, too.
Ace Facebook reporter Mike Isaac talked to Rose about that dynamic — and much more, including Facebook's mobile ambitions — at D: Dive into Media earlier this month. Here's the full interview:

If you're in the Southeast or the Northeast, things are a little crazy outside.
Here in New York, we're experiencing a pretty severe snow storm. AGAIN. Yesterday this storm hit Atlanta; it also brought heavy snow to Virginia. Yesterday an image from NASA showed the storm stretching from eastern Texas up through the Carolinas. Yikes. Flights are canceled, folks have lost power, and everyone in places where winter is a real thing is SICK AND TIRED of winter.
This woman was so exhausted of looking at snow in her yard that she painted it green. So what does it look like where you are? Please upload photos below. And if it's 70° and sunny where you are, you might as well show us that, too — we need to see something nice.

Exciting News: This post was named by Pinterest as one of the Top 20 Pins of 2013 for Education and Classroom Ideas! We are absolutely giddy and hope you will share it too!
These Tell Time games are sure to make your day a little more fun for your little ones.
We try to focus on one area of "extra" math each school day – in addition to our regular math worksheets/homework. Mondays are more/less statements, Tuesdays we practice with clocks, Wednesdays we count backwards as we drive places, Thursdays we play with money and Fridays are for fun (aka Lego math or some building activity).
Kids Activities Blog is excited to share with you these fun activities to do today to help you child understand the concept of time.
Here are 10 of the ideas we've found to help us with our Tuesday learning!
Make a playdough globe. As you find hours on your "clock", put a stick into your globe about the area that you think it would be that time. Discuss how time is different in different places. Thanks to A Little Learning for inspiring this earth activity – they used things they are thankful for on their "sticks".
Count down to a big event, like New Years Eve. Hoosier Homemade made a bag of treats that her kids could open up, one on each hour as they counted down to midnight. This would be a great "telling time" activity for a long road-trip too!
Wear a watch. The act of wearing a watch has helped give my children a concept of time pretty quickly. I love the "Time Teaching" watches. These have the hours and the minuets on the face to help your child learn to differentiate between the hours and minuets.
Get Physical. Make a giant clock outside on your driveway like the kids over at Who Would Have Thought It. They used their bodies to make the time. Looks like a blast!!
Tell Time Games
Play with Paper Plate "Clocks". I first saw a version of the clock pictured above at Mrs. Nielsen's 2nd grade. She cut flaps into her paper plate that she could lift the hour and show her kids the minuets. Brilliant. We had to make our own paper clock (pictured above). The kids love it.
Use worksheets. Here is a terrific telling time worksheet that we have used to help our kids diagram "time". Put it in a page protector and use with dry erase markers to ask questions like: "What time did you eat breakfast this morning?" "Erase that and tell me what time is one hour earlier than breakfast."
Skip Count 5s. The part that is the hardest for my kiddos is learning the hour "number" with the minuets – ex: 8 = 40 minuets. Skip counting has really helped them figure it out! SchoolHouse Rock has a fun song where they skip count as fast as they can their 5's. The kids love counting along.
Make a Time Wall. We used cardboard boxes to create "clocks" with the common events of our day on the face. Our daily "events" included: morning snack time, the time they can get up from naps, time that Daddy is home from work, etc. This helps my toddlers know to "match" the time. Ex: "You can't get up from quiet time until 4pm, when the clock looks like this (pointing to the correct time)".
Work with Analog. Help your child realize that time is documented in many formats. Teach Mama has a great collection of worksheets and lesson plans to help your child see the big picture.
Race each other to the Time. I remember as a child in classes, I loved the wipe-board activities. This is a board that you can purchase to have time-telling races with each other. .

Welcome to The Clan MacMillan Society of Texas, a branch of Clan MacMillan International.
The society held its inaugural gathering in Austin on 12 June 2007. Over 40 charter members welcomed Chief George MacMillan, who traveled from Scotland to Texas to help launch the new branch of Clan MacMillan International. The society hosted its first Clan MacMillan tent at the Salado Highland Games in November 2007. The second annual gathering of the society was held in Austin on 4 October 2008.
MacMillans in Texas are members of one of the oldest Scottish clans. The clan originates with a 12th century religious devotee named Gilchrist, who was a son of Cormac the Bishop of Dunkeld from 1114 to 1131. Cormac is thought to be a great-great-grandson of the 11th century Scottish king Macbeth.
MacMillan is the most common spelling of the clan name in Scotland. Common spellings in Texas include McMillan, McMullen, McMillen and other variants.
The purpose of The Clan MacMillan Society of Texas is to bring clan members together to share in their common Scottish heritage.

Joe Posada Wins Latin Grammy
One of my favorite Tejano music artists to review here on DosCentavos has been Joe Posada. With his band, El Quinto Sol, they have provided some of the best music in the industry for a few decades. The Academy (at least the Latin one) finally gave him some recognition for his 2012 release, Algo Esta Pasando. Of course, Algo Esta Pasando was reviewed here and was one of four of the five nominees reviewed by DC in the Tejano category. Congrats to the Saxmaster!
What's Coming Up at the Lege?
Well, the Republicans are bringing out their hatchet to cut from Education and Health Care, again. Dumbing down of the future electorate could be the only thing that can keep the Republicans in power, seeing how the Latino electorate is expected to double by 2030. And that's at current naturalization rates.
San Antonio right-winger Lyle Larson has submitted a bill to do away with the Texas DREAM Act, which allows in-state tuition for undocumented students. Rick Perry is rattling about "sanctuary cities" on top of the piss test for poor people, which he supports.
Unfortunately, folks, this will be another attack session by the Republicans. Jason Stanford had a great piece in the HuffPost about the upcoming session, as well as a challenge to support a Democratic Speaker, instead of backing one of the Republicans. Bottom line: Republicans keep cutting Dems off, so, simply supporting one to get a nice committee seat no longer applies in 2013. Fight back!
Eagle Ford Shale on the Mind
MYSA.com has an article on the various changes to South Texas with the economic growth with which the Eagle Ford is credited.
Companies, community colleges and local politicians remain in a mode of figuring out what's needed in terms of employment, training, road repairs, medical facilities and the like as thousands of oil field workers pour into the rural area.
Some of the companies have poured severance tax money into the State, but there has been little return to those counties. And what were once considered poor school districts are now on the verge of being considered wealthy, thus, throwing school financing into a loop. And they fail to mention all of the deaths due to vehicle accidents. And, on top of any environmental damage that is being created. Let's hope the Lege does something.

I've been really bad about keeping a genealogy research log. I've seen references to the importance of them and I even tried keeping a handwritten one in my genealogy spiral notebook when I first started back on this journey earlier this year. But that soon fell by the wayside.
Just this week, as I was thinking about my research while using the elliptical trainer at the gym. (It turns out that the elliptical machine and the shower are where my great ideas come to me–and they're both places where it's hard to write those ideas down.) I realized that a research log would be very helpful to avoid duplicating research and to see where I'd left off.
I thought about how the log really needed to be searchable, so it should probably be a spreadsheet. I'm really not a spreadsheet kind of gal–they seem so restricting to me. And I pondered if I could get away with it being in a Pages document. (I'm a Mac user–Pages is the Mac's version of Word.)
I intended today to fool around with creating a Pages template for a research log. But then I opened the January/February 2013 issue of Family Tree Magazine and read an article called Logging On, all about creating a research log. It made me realize that sorting was as important as searching for my log. So I guess I'll be using a spreadsheet. I could use Numbers (Mac's version of Excel) or Google Docs. Call me nuts, but I have a distrust of the cloud. I want this info stored on my computer. So I'm going with Numbers.
Happily, the article also gave some really clear guidelines on setting up the log, including suggested column headings. (They include date, name, record or resource, info sought, source citation, etc.) Also included in the article is a sidebar with a list of blogs and websites with how-tos on setting up a research log. One really kind of excited me. It's Miriam's Census Spreadsheet, in which Miriam has created a great way to keep track of what census and vital records data she has found for her ancestors. I think that in addition to a research log, I'm going to try to create a similar spreadsheet.
Setting up the spreadsheet for my research log will be the easy part. The hard part will be creating the habit of using it. I teach workshops on building habits and routines, so I might be a step ahead of the game. I know that I'm very capable of creating habits. (I whittle my email inbox down to zero every day and go to the gym three times a week, for instance.) The first challenge will be remembering to do use the log. Something as simple as a sticky note might help with that.
Intellectually, I understand the value of the research log. I think once I start using it, I'll quickly experience its value. And that reward will help me create the habit.
December 28 is a great day to decide to create a new habit. I'm hopeful that within a few months I can proudly say that I keep a genealogy research log without even thinking about it!

Helio Needs To Let It Go
Those that follow this site know what a fan of Team Penske I am. I was at the Indianapolis 500 in 1969, when Roger Penske made his debut as a car-owner with Mark Donohue as his driver. There was just something about that beautiful blue and yellow Sunoco Special that caught my eye. It was not lost on this ten year-old kid that Donohue was one of the very few college graduates in the field – holding an engineering degree from Brown University. I was also there in 1972, cheering Donohue and Roger Penske on to their first Indianapolis 500 win.
Roger Penske has since added fourteen more Indianapolis 500 victories to his resume. Four of those were earned by Rick Mears; another of my all-time favorites. The Team Penske driver that ranks just behind Mears with Indianapolis 500 victories as well as tenure with the team is current driver Helio Castroneves. Helio brought three victories to the team at the famed oval that Roger Penske cherishes so much. He is in the process of wrapping up his twelfth season driving for The Captain, while Rick Mears drove for fifteen straight seasons for Team Penske (1978 to 1992).
Followers of this site also know that of all the current drivers in the series, Helio is my favorite – but my loyalty is not blind. Helio's emotions have been getting the best of him lately and it's hard to defend some of his recent actions. The 2009 season was a series of high and lows for the popular Brazilian driver. After a grueling tax evasion trial that many predicted would find Helio behind bars, he joined his team in the second race of the season at Long Beach. Six weeks later, he was winning his third Indianapolis 500. Soon afterwards, his 2009 season slowly went into the tank. It was understandable and I think most that follow the series allowed him to drive in obscurity for the rest of the season.
The following year, he began the season with a ninth at São Paulo, a fourth at St. Petersburg and a win at Barber in Birmingham. But in mid-season, he went into a slump that culminated with his well-publicized meltdown at Edmonton. To his credit, he did finish the season with two wins and a fourth place finish in the points, setting expectations for 2011.
The first turn of this season saw Helio make a foolish banzai move that took out several cars, including that of his teammate, Ryan Briscoe. Helio finished twentieth in that race at St. Petersburg and followed that with a seventh place finish at Barber. At Long Beach, Castroneves collided with teammate Will Power on a re-start. Helio finished twelfth there and after another collision in the rain at São Paulo, finished twenty-first. For the first time in my memory, Helio Castroneves was a non-factor the entire month of May at Indianapolis. He qualified a very quiet sixteenth and drove silently to a forgettable seventeenth place finish, as all of Team Penske experienced a May to forget.
With the help of a couple of second-place finishes, Castroneves has improved his season in the latter half as he barely sits inside the top-ten in points. But he continues to struggle with results while his teammate, Will Power, leads the championship. Last week, he lost a lot of supporters (including me) when he took to Twitter to attack Brian Barnhart for the penalty he assessed Helio at Motegi, when Helio passed JR Hildebrand under a local yellow on the last lap. Since it was the last lap, Barnhart couldn't assess a drive-through penalty, so Helio was sent to the end of the line of cars on the lead lap – which resulted in Helio being dropped from seventh to twenty-second.
Most know that I am not a Brian Barnhart supporter. I have criticized almost every move he has made since I started this site, but to be fair – I think Barnhart made the right call this time. There are a lot of gray areas that require black & white logic in racing. This isn't one of them. Helio blatantly passed in a turn where a local yellow flag can be clearly seen waving. Castroneves claims that he should have been dropped back down to eighth, as if it never happened. I agree with Barnhart's analogy of a bank robber: if the bank robber gets caught, he doesn't just give the money back and everything is OK – he is punished.
Helio immediately went to Twitter to criticize Barnhart and referred to him as a "circus clown". Later in the week, Castroneves wrote an article in a Brazilian newspaper where he further criticized the Chief Steward.
As Paul Tracy pointed out, when Tracy used the term "circus clown" to describe Champ Car Chief Steward Chris Kneifel, it was during a TV interview immediately during the heat of the moment. Helio had time to cool off and collect his thoughts before typing out the same term of endearment on Twitter. Furthermore, he had several days to look at the tape and re-think the entire situation before writing his article where he criticized Barnhart and said he was ruining the series single-handedly among other niceties. My question is; Why? What's the point?
As parents, we're always taught to pick our battles with our unruly teenagers. I would suggest Helio do the same. Helio probably still holds a grudge from Belle Isle in 2008, when Barnhart accused Helio of blocking Justin Wilson and ordered Castroneves to move over and allow Wilson to lead and go on to win the race. Then, there was the controversy in 2010 at Edmonton. None of us seemed to know or understand the ridiculous rule where a driver cannot defend his or her line by hugging the inside of the turn. Apparently most of the drivers knew it, though. As silly as it seemed at the time, Barnhart was just enforcing the rule. When the series returned to Edmonton this season, Helio smiled as he referred to himself as the defending champion of the event. It was seemingly a joke, but Helio was still getting in that jab.
Now Helio has taken separate jabs at Barnhart in print. I'll be curious to see how Randy Bernard handles this. A hefty fine should be in order. If sponsors and fans weren't involved, a suspension would be appropriate as well. Public criticism of officials in any sport is always subject to fines and/or suspensions. INDYCAR should be no different.
Although he hasn't asked for it, I'll offer up my advice to Helio, anyway: Let it go.
Yes, Barnhart's tenure as Chief Steward has been rife with inconsistencies, but this accomplishes nothing. I'm sure Randy Bernard will make the proper call on the Chief Steward's position in due time during the offseason. I'm of the opinion that drivers don't need to be the ones calling for the Chief Steward's head. Besides – on this one, Castroneves was clearly guilty as charged.
In a time where Helio's tenure at Team Penske may be in jeopardy, Helio needs to shut his mouth and focus on the remaining two races to see if he can prevent going winless in a season for the first time since he joined Team Penske in 2000. As he continues his pointless feud with Barnhart, he is losing longtime fans that have supported him. No longer is he coming across as the fun-loving teammate to the surly Sam Hornish or the studious Gil de Ferran. He now appears to be an aging athlete who is desperately lashing out at everything and everyone as his career is winding down.
It's not a pretty picture that Helio is leaving for fans to remember his legacy. For years, Brett Favre treated football fans with incredible feats as he played like a kid who loved the game. Unfortunately, ten years from now – Favre will still be remembered for his last three drama-filled seasons with the Jets and Vikings that left images of an old man linked to a sex scandal, who held his teams hostage during training camp in order to make them beg him to come back. Fortunately, this season – they stopped begging.
Helio should be remembered as a good driver, who always performed – especially on the stage at Indianapolis. Sadly, he is to the point where he will probably never win a championship. I don't know if he will drive for Team Penske beyond this season or not. Personally, I hope he does. But whether he is at Team Penske in 2012, at another team or retired – I hope that Helio can let go of this feud with Brian Barnhart, remember his legacy and regain some of the dignity he has lost in the last couple of years.

I must admit that personally I could care less if HCN melts down, but since HCN "was" one of the few positive personalities that this series had, as a fan of Indy Car I am disappointed…
I also believe that BB moving HCN to P15 may have been somewhat extreme for a one position pass under yellow. Was passing under yellow dim witted, yes. But to use the bank robbers penalty analogy. While it is true that once caught, one does not simply get to give the money back, the penalty usually includes some amount of jail time, not the electric chair, or hangmans noose.
Perhaps loosing a position or two would have been a more even handed penalty in this case… But lets face it, even handedness and consistency have not exactly been race controls strong suit for this or the past season or three…
Frankly, I am really, really tired of hearing about Brian Barnhart period, whether it is from Helio or any other driver or fan, but particularly from Robin Miller. I have been around the sport long enough to remember that over the years drivers and others have always complained about the Chief Steward and/or Race Control. The difference now………………..Twits, bloggers, 24/7 news cycle, talk radio, etc. Every little thing about the sport is just being analyized to death every day all the time. If Mr. Barnhart is replaced all the "nattering nabobs of negativity" will just lock on to some other issue.
George, as a devoted Packer fan I can tell you that your comments about Bret Favre are spot on. He has really tarnished his legacy and Helio is beginning to do the same. I'm not sure that Robin Miller ever had a legacy, but his obsession with BB is sad.
I agree that Helio didn't have a leg to stand on when complaining about his illegal pass and should therefore have kept quiet rather than tarnish his jovial, fan-friendly, sponsor-friendly image and Team Penske's. And Robin should lean more toward impartial journalism than angry activism.
I think that if the overall dissatisfaction with the quality of racing in general, coupled with the need for a stem to stern overhaul of the series was not already so urgent, that much less attention would be paid to what BB is or is not doing… So, while I would not want to let BB entirely off the hook, there is no question that he has become the fan, blogger and pundit scapegoat for the disatisfaction with the league that many apparently feel. Personally, I do not always agree with Robin Miller, but think that he brings a great 40 years of racing perspective to the table and it's not always what everyone else is thinking or saying and he is often correct with the information he provides and the stories that he breaks.
Last week or so, in response to your column as to the future of Helio or Ryan Brisco at Penske, I was inclined to think Penske would keep Helio because of his past record at Indianapolis. Now I am not so sure. I don't think Penske appreciates any of his drivers focusing on anything but racing–at least during the season, so I am skeptical as to how he is reacting to this latest rant by Castroneves. I would not be at all surprised to see Roger dump both and add a younger, "hungrier' driver instead. I'm disappointed in Castroneves, because he is(was) a fan favorite for the sport, was always good for an interview, and generally promoted IndyCar in the potential fan base.
"Dump both and go younger"… I said exactly that last week, only in a somewhat more kinder gentler fashion…
Could very well be that Roger will ditch both Helio and…Kurt Busch. Both have become primadonna to the extreme. Not sure about Briscoe being jettisoned yet. I said the same thing last week too (sans the Busch part). I'm certain of one thing – Roger is weary of all the negative hoopla surrounding his drivers. He won't suffer fools for long.
"a younger, "hungrier' driver" like Hinchcliffe and Hildebrand!
Oh, my below comment notwithstanding, were J.R. not under contract (I think, anyway) for next year with Panther, and if Hinch (who I think is a potential superduperstar, and the type of personality than can even cross over into mainstream sports and entertainment media) had even one more year of seasoning, both would be good choices. Under the exact set of circumstances that we're looking at right now, I think Roger'll go for a more experienced hand, and probably one of the guys who currently drives one of his cars. At least that's good for two other teams in the paddock, whoever J.R. and Hinch do drive for.
Maybe the headline of the topic should be "Helio is let go" by Penske instead of "Helio should let it go".
Nothing would surprise any more, if it did happen. Mistake after mistake in race after race,yet Helio gets somewhat of a "bye" with his driving style.Who really is "the Circus Clown" here?
I respect Roger Penske.He does not qualify for Indy,he packs up and leaves without any complaints, other than his team did not get it done. Pure class by a dominant figure in Open Wheel Racing. Yet I believe even the Captain has given Helio the "bye", for now, until Bozo himself, makes yet his final mistake, and it will be sooner than later.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: Barnhart needs to go.
As long as the sponsors want Helio, he'll probably remain at Penske for 2012.
Also, if Roger dumps Helio for his actions and rants in recent years then he needs to dump Kurt Busch from his NASCAR team because Kurt acts the same way (even more than Helio).
George, I was rethinking my take after making our video blog that Helio and Ryan would be released after this year because you made such a strong case for Penske keeping Helio. But I now believe even more that they will both get their walking papers. Penske gets two new cars and a new driver to the team to go along with Will. I have no doubt that when you give Will a good Penske car and a pit crew that will put the wheels on securely he can win the 500.
I still don't believe that one horrific season should determine whether or not to keep a driver with the kind of previous success that Helio has had.
Also, it seems to me like the sponsors still like him. With Danica gone, it's very possible that some sponsors will want to be endorsed by the second most recognizable driver in the INDYCAR Series.
If it were me, I'd be letting Helio go and keeping Briscoe for another year. Helio does give Roger a marginally better chance than Briscoe at winning exactly one race every year. It helps Helio's case that that one race is the Indy 500, but I'm not all that convinced at this point that Briscoe is far behind Helio even at The Speedway (Briscoe did, after all, finish 5th there in a semi-Penske car only a few years ago, and did run at or above Helio's pace all month this May). Meanwhile, Briscoe is more consistently quick at the road and street courses, of which the Series is seeing more and more join the schedule. Curt Cavin likes to point out that Briscoe has been punted out of races like three times this year. If you take away those three punts and simply give Ryan 10th place points for each of those races, I think he's in an easy 5th place in the championship, which while not great, certainly destroys Helio's current 10th in the championship (where most of Helio's woes have been self-inflicted).
Then, after 2012 is up, Roger could see if Briscoe's benefitted from the change to the Team Australia format, and if not, farm him back out to a sports car squad, should Roger get the contract to run Porsche's LMP car. I'm not Tim Cindric, but if I were, this would be the stuff I'd be putting in Roger's ear right about now.
Risking redundancy, I agree (as previously stated). Briscoe has a longer future, has matured and is the better prospect for the long haul. Also as previously stated, when the resources are focused on two cars instead of three, and without the ballyhoo that surrounds Helio on a semi-regular basis, I think Ryan may thrive in that environment and would again start rising to his potential.
A driver in a situation of possible loss-of-ride due to downsizing is going to be cautious about how close to the edge he runs at every race. When it's time to downsize, the one who's walling/wadding the most equipment is likely going to be the one on the outside looking in. Ryan has been the victim a few times this year. Helio has been the perp in two instances that took out his own teammate. With the longevity aspect taken into consideration, I see Briscoe staying. The emphasis on wins at the Speedway is the only possible saving grace I see for HCN.
I agree with HCN! I would love to tell my worthless boss the business!
Let's face it, this series is in the tank! Why not have some personality! Fining drivers for speech is what killed NASCAR and as you can see the fans are not coming back!

REAL SALT LAKE v. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES –
Best Two Teams in the West Put Supporters Shield Bragging Rights On Line at Rio Tinto Stadium Saturday Night
RSL Seeks to Remain Atop MLS in Critical Matchup Against Current #2
San Jose Earthquakes at Rio Tinto Stadium; 7:00 p.m. MT Kickoff Live on CW30
SANDY, Utah (Friday, June 21, 2012) – Still atop the overall MLS and Western Conference tables, Real Salt Lake (10-4-2, 32 points, #1 in West) hosts league-leading goal scorer Chris Wondolowski and the second-place San Jose Earthquakes (9-3-3, 30 points, #2 in West) at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
RSL seeks to conclude their fourth three-game week of the season with revenge on its mind, as the Earthquakes handed RSL a loss on April 21 at San Jose's Buck Shaw Stadium in a game that saw RSL suffer red cards to Fabian Espíndola and Jamison Olave on either side of halftime. This weekend's West showdown – RSL's third #1 v #2 match of the season so far – is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. MT kickoff, televised live on CW30 with Bill Riley & Brian Dunseth on the call – post-game coverage at 9:00 p.m.
Fans can also follow the action via the team's official radio partners: ESPN 700/ESPN700Sports.com and La Gran D 102.3 FM, and live on Twitter (Twitter.com/RealSaltLake) with match updates. As always, fans can enjoy pre-game activities in Sandy at Carnival Real at 5:00 p.m. on the stadium's East Lawn.
Tickets remain available for Saturday's critical matchup against the San Jose Earthquakes. Please visit realsaltlake.com/tickets for seating locations and pricing options for these two games, as well as the remainder of the team's 2012 MLS slate.
With RSL's 2-3 loss to the LA Galaxy Wednesday night and the Quakes 2-1 win at Colorado, San Jose enters Saturday's match two points shy of league-leading Real Salt Lake. Although the Quakes are coming off a win after snapping a four-game winless streak in MLS regular season play on Wednesday, the Claret-and-Cobalt look to remain #1 in the Western Conference with a victory. An RSL win would allow Goalkeeper Nick Rimando to earn career win #131, tying NY/CHI GK Zach Thornton for second place all-time in the MLS career record book.

RSL History v. San Jose Earthquakes
Real Salt Lake enters Saturday's match with a 5-4-5 all-time record against San Jose (14 meetings), and a 2-1-4 record in matches played in Utah. In RSL's last meeting with the Quakes on April 21, 2012, the Claret-and-Cobalt were dealt a devastating defeat as a pair of controversial red-card decisions by referee Elias Bazakos doomed the Claret-and-Cobalt to a 1-3 loss. Ultimately, the valiant nine-man RSL side held firm for the final 21 minutes of the match, until the full-strength San Jose side was emboldened by a lengthy six minutes of added time, which saw Simon Dawkins and Chris Wondolowski score to give Earthquakes' Head Coach Frank Yallop his 100th career win.
On an individual note, Javier Morales has four goals and five assists against San Jose, while Kyle Beckerman has earned three goals and five assists against the Quakes in eight matches since 2008. In last year's home leg on July 23, RSL rode an Alvaro Saborio brace to a 4-0 win, with all four tallies in the annual Pioneer Day celebration game coming past the halftime break.
