Today's Music: Alfredo Armenteros (Chocolate) -Controlate
Note on Today's Music: Apropos of nothing, some times you just need a little Cuban jazz to perk yourself up.
Instead of the usual highlighting of great blogs in this space, I'm going to keep it for me for a short serious moment before the foolishness: You. All. Rock.
The comments you left after my last post left me with smiles, warm fuzzies, and reinforcement in the belief that the people I've met online are the coolest people in the world.
And for that, and just being around, thank you! from the bottom of my heart.
But the show goes on, and these polls are such a delight for me that pushing on with them is therapy.
Last week's poll asked What the next form of transportation should be. As always, y'all do not disappoint! Here's what you said (My answers move along in italics.)
1981 DeLorean DMC-12. Naturally (Kanerva)
(Sure, until some crazy old scientist decides to turn it into a time machine. Seriously, who turns a Delorean into a time machine?!?)
a hearse…c'mon…it fits the theme (WG)
(Yeah,but that's kind of a one way trip…)
Telekinesis. Afraid those w cranial concavity would call discrimination-Red
(I doubt they'd be able to understand it well enough to know they're being discriminated against…)
The Transporter from Star Trek (SnB)
(It's all fun and games until you're destroyed by a plot device.)
A soul train, where we leave our bodies behind – Benzeknees
(Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk (Google it))
Sprout wings and fly!! Michelle at Motley News
(I believe Red Bull will be contacting you shortly.)
Warp Drive! Seriously – I read a thing on Yahoo about it. – Hotspur
(If it's on the internet it must be true!)
Your back….you should really carry me around…Becca
(I'd love to, but the monkey on my back is heavy enought)
Wormholes but not the kind of holes worms go through – sandylikeabeach
(How about Pot holes? hehehe)
Fold arms and blink eyes (like Genie) (Stacy Lyn)
(I love travelling into a bottle!)
I vote for a bicycle with an easy chair for a seat. (Those tiny seats are awful!) Asplenia
(I'd rather just have the easy chair and stay in place…)
mental transport! Just thinking should be enough! NBI
(That eliminates 95% of the population.)
Otherwise something free and dry and comfy. NBI
(Travel by bed. I like it!)
Magic Carpets Stay Abnormal
(Ok, but you'll need a flying broomstick to clean it…)
Magic Carpet. What can I say? I'm a romantic. ~flame
(So I'm guessing your carpet is "shag".)
Pneumatic tube. Carrie Cannibalistic Nerd
Elephants! We need this in the Western world! – Emily@ the Waiting
(I don't know how to get on one, but they sure are easy to get off!)
Portals seem pretty classy – 25tofly
(The cake is a lie. (Google it.))
Piggybacking on dwarves. Joe Hoover
(Wouldn't your feet drag along the ground?)
Portkey like in Harry Potter. I'm not using a toilet though. KJ
(Nono, you should use the toilet before you travel…)
Mental … just think about it and you're transported! (Frank)
(Is a York Peppermint Patty the trigger?)
urban ziplines
(At last! A form of mass transit I'll get a seat on!)
Congratulations to Carrie Cannibalistic Nerd
for this weeks winning answer! And from the available choices, the most popular was Jetpack. We really should have those by now. Hell. Yes. And congratulations to everyone who picked that too.
So here we are at this week. For me, rough week. Not impossible, just difficult. Since my mother did go through a long period of decline, her passing was not unexpected, which made it a little easier to process. And the relief that she is no longer suffering really does make it easier to take.
Fortunately, I also have a bent sense of humor. Which means that after she's been interred, I'm left thinking about today's question: When the time comes, what do I want done with my body?
Yeah, sometimes I think my sense of humor is the only thing that keeps me from going insane. Or keeps me insane. One of the two…
So here's the poll. If you write an "other", leave a way to identify you, and I'll link back in next week's post. Answer early, answer often. But answer by 2359 EST, 4 Oct. Because that's when this one closes.
And in parting for the week, a clip including two things my mother loved: Muppets and Star Wars.
Hope you all enjoy it too.
And until next time, have a great week!

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's Grey's Anatomy. Read at your own risk!]
April did, in fact, get married in the Grey's Anatomymidseason premiere. But the groom was the toss-up.
After running away from her wedding to Matthew (Justin Bruening) with Jackson (Jesse Williams), April (Sarah Drew) freaked out when the realization hit that she had just crushed someone's dreams all so she could ... date her ex-boyfriend? So, Jackson and April made it official after a road trip to Reno, though they've kept it secret from their co-workers for the last three weeks. But will the new rule being instituted that says superiors cannot date their subordinates unless they were already married, it won't be long before the news gets out. How will the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial, particularly Jackson's ex-girlfriend Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton), react? TVGuide.com sat down with Drew on the set of Grey's to get the scoop.
Grey's Anatomy: What's in store for the docs of Grey Sloan Memorial?
April chose Jackson! How is she feeling about that decision?
Sarah Drew: Like most decisions that April makes, she is full of confusion and lots of emotion. No matter what decision she was going to make, she was going to hurt somebody. There was no way to avoid that. Dealing with the wreckage of the heart that she just demolished in front of all of his friends and family is going to take a toll on her emotionally. But she knows that this is the right decision because she knows that Jackson is the person for her. It's bittersweet. They're so happy and so in love and grateful to have not made a mistake, but, at the same time, they've left a ton of wreckage in their wake and there are consequences to that.
Has it been hard for them to secretly date in the hospital?
Drew: They love it. Keeping it a secret is the thing that enables them to insulate themselves and not to deal with the wreckage. They just desperately want to have honeymoon time; a moment that they can enjoy the fact that they actually realized they wanted to be together and they acted on it. There's a bit of denial of the pain that they left by keeping it secret and they want to hold onto that.
How will the new rule affect them in particular?
Drew: It's going to be hard, but in some ways, it's going to be a huge relief to them. It's hard to keep it a secret and sneak around. It's sexy also, so there's mixed feelings about finally telling people what's going on, but they have to. There's no way to get around it. If they get caught, they could get in trouble.
What's that working relationship with Stephanie?
Drew: It's all really awful and we'll see a lot of that play out with Stephanie's interactions with her friends and with Jackson. The momentary interactions Stephanie has with April, you'll see a lot of that pain right in front of April's face. They have to deal with it, but it's hard because you want to just celebrate the fact that you've found the person you want to spend your life with, but in April and Jackson's case, they can't just celebrate because they've hurt a lot of people.
Grey's Anatomy Scoop: Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey sign two-year deals
How will the hospital react when they learn the truth?
Drew: Everybody is shocked. It's not something that they expected from April, for sure, or from Jackson. April and Jackson never even dated. They had a sexual relationship for a period of time, but they've mostly been best friends, so everyone is completely flabbergasted and shocked by it. This is a much deeper wound for Stephanie to find out that not only did Jackson leave her at the wedding — also, he was her ride, so there's that — but he went and married somebody else on the same day. That's a pretty awful scenario for Stephanie.
How will Jackson and April deal with now being in a relationship?
Drew: They're coming to terms with the fact that they have some very different sets of values and that is going to create tension in their marriage. Some of these things they just really haven't thought about because it happened so quickly. They're living together and thinking about the potential of kids eventually. How are they going to raise their kids? April's belief system is different than Jackson's belief system. How do you navigate that? We'll see a lot of that tension and drama build over the next several episodes.
Were you surprised April and Jackson got married?
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Presidential winning streaks have been few and far between for George Washington this season, so after winning convincingly Friday night, George got a little cocky after leading Saturday's presidents race from wire to wire.
As he crossed the finish line, the father of our country pulled out some talcum powder and clapped it on his hands, Lebron style. That's when Teddy Roosevelt, who finished second, brought Washington's big head down to the ground. Literally.
Will the presidents race standings remained tied heading into the All Star break?
Expect the racing presidents to making it interesting on Sunday for the last day of the Nationals' Christmas in July Toy Drive. Livan Hernandez will be on the mound for a day packed full of promotions, including Scout Day, Family Fun Day, Signature Sunday, Kids Run the Bases, and free backpacks for the first 10,000 kids 12 and under.

The latest in a series of posts on authors who praise each other's books
Michael Cunningham says that he and the two other jurors for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for fiction found it "upsetting" that the board that oversees the awards rejected all three of the books they nominated, including Denis Johnson's Train Dreams. Here's what others might find upsetting: In a 5,000-word post on the controversy for the Page-Turner blog for the New Yorker, Cunningham doesn't mention a conflict of interest: As I noted in April, Johnson helped to launch Cunningham's career by providing a blurb for his first book and did him another favor by allowing him to reprint his work in an anthology. Some people would argue that, given these conflicts, Cunningham should have recused himself from judging Johnson's work for the Pulitzer. His New Yorker post makes clear that he participated actively in the process.
Here's what the two writers say about each other:
Denis Johnson on Michael Cunningham's Golden States:
"Michael Cunningham writes with wisdom, humor, and style about a difficult part of any life."
Michael Cunningham on Denis Johnson's Train Dreams:
"Denis Johnson's Train Dreams had been written ten years earlier and been published as a long short story in The Paris Review. It was, however, magnificently written, stylistically innovative, and—in its exhilarating, magical depiction of ordinary life in the much romanticized Wild West—a profoundly American book."

Yreka Miners sweep Anderson Cubs in NAL play
The Yreka Miners varsity baseball team took down Anderson on the road 19-7 and 15-2 on Friday.
After downing the Cubs 11-1 the day before in Yreka, the Miners are now 3-0 in Northern Athletic League play.
"I really liked how we hit the ball," head coach Jason Freitas said. "And we played pretty good defense. It was great to see. This gives us a good start (in the NAL)."
After up and down play early in the season, the three wins moved Yreka, the defending NAL champs, to 6-4-1 overall.
In game one, Anderson came out and took a 3-1 lead after two innings. The Miners roared back as Yreka took a 6-3 lead the top of the third. The Cubs scored a run the bottom of the inning to make things 6-4. The Miners exploded for 10 runs in the fourth inning their way to the 19-7 win.
Gabe Durney hit a two-run home run in the contest and went 3-for-4 with two runs, five RBI's, one double and a home run. Christian Charles had a two-run homer and went 2-for-4 with four RBI's, a run and a home run. Jacob Harris went 2-for-3 with three RBI's.
Cade Parker finished 2-for-4 with three runs, two RBI's and two doubles. Michael Schuler had four runs, an RBI and two stolen bases.
Evan Bosinger had three runs and a stolen base.
Curt Bennett earned the win for the Miners and had four strikeouts.
In game two, Yreka cruised to a 14 run win in five innings.
Tevin Cadola had a strong game on the mound, finishing with seven strikeouts and giving up two hits in four innings of work Cody Hoff smashed a home run and had three runs and two RBI's. Dustin Jochim had two RBI's and a run for Yreka. Charles had three runs and two stolen bases. Matt Jespersen had two RBI's and a double. Durney went 2-for-4 with a double.

Earlier today Kristin was reading on the couch, when she noticed a small insect crawling up the wall. "It is either a very small mantis or an assassin bug", she opined, exhibiting some pretty good entomological expertise. I was not expecting to see either but, sure enough, it was a small praying mantis. Then we noticed one more, and about fifty additional ones, as they kept escaping from a container that held their mother, a Chinese mantis (Tenodera parasinensis) (the very individual that I featured in an earlier post about mantis ears.) I knew she had laid some eggs, but these were not supposed to hatch until spring! Soon the entire household, dogs included, were busy trying to corral tiny, jumpy insects that overran the room.
They are now safely sequestered in several containers, and munching on fruit flies. It is interesting that, as it became evident to me today, this species does not require a winter diapause in order to hatch. Eggs of another common introduced species, the European mantis (Mantis religiosa), must spend several weeks in freezing weather in order to develop and hatch, which also limits this species' distribution to areas that have a clearly pronounced, cold winter. But the Chinese mantis can colonize areas that either have or don't have winter, and I suspect that in the coming decades this species is going to outcompete the European mantis in places where they now co-occur.

Following the release of iOS 6.1.2/6.1, many users are searching for a how to unlock and jailbreak iPhone 5/4/4S/3Gs iOS 6.1.2/6.1 untethered , and take advantage of some of the great new things it allows you to do, especially with the Notification Center. We are once again sitting right in the middle of that beautiful time period when updated jailbreaking tools are available, which allow us to free our iOS devices from their technical shackles. For those who have been sitting with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad running Apple's iOS 6.1.2/6.1 firmware, you will no doubt be aware that after days of hard work and research, Unlock-Jailbreak.net team has released an untethered jailbreak and unlock iPhone 5/4/4S/3GS iOS 6.1.2/6.1 by the name of Unlock-Jailbreak excluding the third-generation Apple TV.
Unlock-Jailbreak Unlock and Jailbreak is available on the official website www.Unlock-Jailbreak.net
As we already knew, all devices capable of running iOS 6.1.2/6.1 will be covered by the Unlock-Jailbreak jailbreak when it is released, with the exception of the third-generation Apple TV which currently has no path available for jailbreaking. So yes, if you want to unlock and jailbreak your iPhone 5/4/4S and 3Gs iOS 6.1.2/6.1 untethered use Unlock-Jailbreak today.
To Unlock and Jailbreak iPhone 5/4/4S and 3GS iOS 6.1.2/6.1 visit the official website www.Unlock-Jailbreak.net
The Unlock-Jailbreak jailbreak tool is what the jailbreak community considers to be the "Old Faithful". Sure, plenty of other groups get in on the act with their various jailbreak utilities, but it seems as though no matter what firmware version is released, the Unlock-Jailbreak.net Team always comes though with alterations to its iconic tool in order to help iOS users liberate their otherwise heavily-restricted devices.
Some of the information contained is related to the fact that the individuals involved are hoping to push the jailbreak out by the end of this week, but as is always the case when it comes to release dates, users should keep an open mind in case any unexpected last minute issues occur. The majority of the offered information relates to the behind-the-scene events that have been happening throughout the production of the jailbreak and unlock iPhone 5/4/4S and 3GS iOS 6.1.2/6.1, and although it isn't relevant to the usage of the new tools, it is extremely interesting and worth knowing.
It's tested and can confirm that current latest version of Unlock-Jailbreak jailbreaking and unlocking iOS 6.1.2/6.1 tool can be used to jailbreak Apple's latest iOS 6.1.2/6.1 offering tethered on powered devices such as iPhone 5/4,4S,3Gs iPad, iPod touch 4G and below, thus allowing you to have continued access to all of the benefits of a liberated iOS Device.

This past Shabbos we read Parshas Toldos, in it we have the episode of Eisov selling his first born rights to Yaakov for a pot of red lentils. We will never know what recipe Yaakov made but on scouring the web I found some delicious sounding variations of Red Lentil Soup, which I can't wait to try:
Red Lentil Soup with Lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, more for drizzling
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch of ground chili powder or cayenne, more to taste
- 1 quart chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, more to taste
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons oil over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, cumin, salt, black pepper and chili powder or cayenne, and sauté for 2 minutes longer.
- Add broth, 2 cups water, lentils and carrot. Bring to a simmer, then partially cover pot and turn heat to medium-low. Simmer until lentils are soft, about 30 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary.
- Using an immersion or regular blender or a food processor, purée half the soup then add it back to pot. Soup should be somewhat chunky.
- Reheat soup if necessary, then stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Serve soup drizzled with good olive oil and dusted lightly with chili powder if desired.
(makes 1 quart; 4 small servings)
Food Network.com's website has the following recipe, among others:
Red Lentil Soup
- 1 cup red lentils, washed and soaked for 1 hour, drained
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 green serrano chile, split and seeded
- 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt
- Honey, to taste
- Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
In medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the drained lentils, onion, tomato, chile, ginger, garlic and enough water to cover. Bring to boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Whisk the cooked lentils to release some of their starch and break them down further.
In small saute pan, warm the canola oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they are sizzling and spluttering. Stir in the turmeric and paprika. Pour the seasoned oil into the lentils (be prepared for a big sizzle). Stir to combine, add salt, to taste, and a small drizzle of honey. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with cilantro.

College basketball: Previewing the top conference tournaments
Before the madness of March begins, college basketball teams must face familiar foes one last time in conference tournaments. It's a chance for some teams to improve their NCAA Tournament seeding, while for others, it's one last chance to Dance. Here's a look at this year's top conference tourneys, including the ACC, Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, SEC and Pac-12.
The Atlantic Coast Conference is one of the most decorated in all of college basketball, and in turn, the tournament to crown the yearly league champion is typically one of the most hard-fought battles of the year. Powerhouses in the sport like Duke, North Carolina and Miami help make the ACC one of the deepest conferences in college hoops, and it is that depth that results in arguably the best conference tournament in basketball. Add in the fact that this is the last year of the ACC as we know it—Syracuse and possibly Notre Dame (h/t ESPN) look to join the conference in the 2013-14 season—and the excitement around this year's tournament is through the roof. If you love college basketball, you won't want to miss a second of the ACC action. Full preview here

Big Ten
There are a lot of conference tournaments heading into March Madness, but there might not be any more exciting than the 2013 Big Ten Tournament. The Big Ten has been arguably the toughest conference in America this season. Teams like Michigan and Michigan State could end up getting higher seeds in the NCAA tournament than they do in their conference tournament. With these schools, plus Final Four contenders Indiana and Ohio State, this should be a great event to watch from beginning to end. Full preview here
Where: United Center, Chicago, Ill.
When: March 14 - 17
Watch: Big Ten Network, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS
Live Stream: ESPN3 (First Two Rounds) CBS Sports Online (Last Two Rounds)
Big East
The Big East conference tournament has become one of the most prestigious events in college basketball. Winning will be a challenge for any of the 14 teams involved. This year's tournament will be the last of an era, with some teams going to the ACC after the season and others forming their own conference. This is the last chance for fans to see Georgetown, Syracuse, Villanova and others all in the same place. With teams fighting for seeds in the NCAA tournament, this should be one great event to watch. Full preview here

Big 12
The No. 4 Kansas Jayhawks are in familiar territory. With a 26-5 overall record and a 14-4 mark in the Big 12, they enter the Big 12 Tournament with prime opportunity to run the table and represent the conference in the NCAA tournament. No. 9 Kansas State (25-6, 14-4) isn't far behind, though, and with the conference showdown taking place in Kansas City, both teams have a significant advantage over the rest of the field. While the two Kansas teams are odds-on favorites to meet in the championship game, both should expect some stiff competition along the way. Iowa State, Baylor and Oklahoma are all on the bubble with a chance to secure an at-large bid in the Big Dance. A strong tournament showing will go a long way toward catching the collective eye of the selection committee, and the second-round matchup between Iowa State and Oklahoma could be one of the most exciting games to watch in the tournament.

One of the best things that could have happened to the SEC was a down season, because it makes for a wide-open field in the conference tournament that begins on Wednesday in Nashville. Florida earned the No. 1 seed in the tournament thanks to a 14-4 SEC record (24-6 overall). The Gators have been ranked in the top 10 most of the season and will be the prohibitive favorite to win the SEC for the first time since 2007, when they also won the national championship. Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama were the other teams that earned a double bye in this tournament, though all three of those teams have significant question marks. Kentucky, which just defeated Florida in the final game of the regular season, is still adjusting to life without Nerlens Noel.Mississippi can put up a lot of points, despite not being a good shooting team. It also hurts the Rebels' case that they have lost non-conference games to Middle Tennessee and Indiana State. Alabama doesn't have a victory over a ranked team this season with losses against Mercer, Tulane, LSU and Auburn.So much chaos in the SEC, with so little time left to settle the madness. Here is a look at all the information you need to find the SEC Tournament on your television or streaming device. Full preview here

The 2013 Pac-12 Tournament is going to be an exciting competition, as so many teams in this conference are evenly matched. In fact, the top eight seeds could all wind up being within four games of one another in the final standings. Because of this, any single program could get hot at the right time and make a run to the championship. Let's take a look at where you can watch all the thrilling action, highlight the complete schedule and TV listings, point out a few teams to keep an eye on and more in our 2013 Pac-12 Tournament preview.

- Added an on/off button for the Alt formation toggle functionality to the Options --> Gameplay menu. The option is "On" by default.
- Added a "Worker Selection" button that appears beneath the construction progress indicator for Night Elf and Orc buildings. This allows Orc and Night Elf players to re-select workers that are currently constructing a building and give them additional way-pointed orders.
- Added the ability for users to double-click replay files (
*.w3gfiles) from system directories. Doing so will automatically launch the game and load the appropriate replay.
- Buff and debuff icons (not including auras) now flash when their duration has 10 or fewer seconds remaining.
- Buff icons will display in the tooltip when a group-selected unit is highlighted in the info panel.
- Fixed an issue with cargo based structures/units (Entangled Gold Mines, Orc Burrows, Goblin Zeppelins, etc.) which could cause units to get stuck inside permanently.
- Fixed a problem where water elementals that died during Mass Teleport were not being properly removed from the game.
- Fixed an issue that caused hit point bars not to show up properly for some teams when viewing replays.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Anti-magic Shell art to display incorrectly on Crypt Fiends after they unburrow.
- Fixed a problem where a Scroll of Town Portal could be wasted if the targeted town hall was destroyed before the spell completed. The Hero now retains the Scroll if the spell doesn't complete.
- Fixed an issue with the Mountain Giant's Taunt that could cause Invisible and Shadowmelded units to improperly attack and reveal themselves when the ability was activated.
- Fixed an issue with the "Observers on Defeat" functionality that caused units not to be displayed on the minimap.
- Fixed a problem with the Pandaren Brewmaster that caused incorrect regeneration of health and mana while his ultimate was active.
- Fixed a problem with Spell Steal and Polymorph that could turn a ground unitinto a Flying Sheep.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Web and Ensnare graphics to display improperly.
- Fixed a problem that caused the Inferno stun damage to not be applied to magic-immune units in The Frozen Throne. All ultimates should ignore magic immunity.
- Fixed some spell targeting issues with Resistant Skin. Doom (and possibly other spells) should work the same way as Charm.
- Fixed an issue with Metamorphosis which prevented some Orb effects from working while the Demon Hunter was in his altered form.
- Fixed a problem with the Scroll of Town Portal which did not allow Heroes to regenerate the appropriate hit points and mana while the spell was being cast.
- Fixed the accidentally inflated hit point regeneration rate on the Naga Sea Witch, Beastmaster, Pandaren Brewmaster, and Spell Breaker back to the standard .25 hit points per second.
- Fixed Shockwave's damage radius to 125.

- Fixed an issue with Militia in which units ordered "Back to Work" could change back into Militia when arriving back at the town hall.
- Fixed Breath of Fire's damage area to more accurately represent a cone area of effect, rather than a line.
- Acolytes harvesting from a Haunted Gold Mine with the Entangling Roots buff now register as idle like other peons.
- Fixed the Blight generated by the Sacrificial Skull such that a non-Undead building placed on top of the Blight will not remove the Blight when it finishes construction. Detonate, Dispel Magic, and Disenchant correctly dispel this Blight.
- Fixed an issue that allowed Banished worker units to build, Repair, and harvest. Note that Detonate and Unsummon will remain unaffected by Banish since they're considered "magical".
- Fixed Lightning Shield so that if two units with Lightning Shields overlap each other, they both correctly take damage.
- Fixed an issue that allowed an ally that did not have Shared Control to Uproot and command your Ancient of Wonders. Allied players without Shared Control should only be able to purchase items from the building.
- Fixed a problem with item-summoned units which would cause them to leave corpses and spawn units from Black Arrow.
- Fixed an issue with Animate Dead which in some cases caused the spell to transfer the unit upgrades to the new owner.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from way-pointing the Faerie Dragon's Mana Flare ability.

Oatmeal Cake - Outdoor Wednesday
Today's recipe is for an oatmeal cake. I thought it would be interesting to see a field where oats are grown in the early summer.
Then again just before the crop is harvested.
Rolled oats anyone?
I'm responsible for providing cake and pastry for a large group of women who enjoy a morning "coffee" several times a year. While I love these gals, I don't want to spend hours in the kitchen or break the bank feeding them. Pride prevents me from sacrificing taste and flavor or short changing them, but I've learned not to stress about occasions such as this and try to make quick work of what has to be done. I started with several pans of cinnamon rolls, chosen because they are inexpensive and can be finished on sight. Their aroma fills the room and is guaranteed to stimulate the poorest of appetites while enhancing your reputation as a cook. I rounded out my contribution and added variety to the table with two additional cakes, one sweet and the other more European in taste. For this occasion I made oatmeal and pumpkin cakes. Today we're going to tackle the very sweet oatmeal cake. How sweet? It falls into the icky, sticky, ooey, gooey realm of cooking. To be honest, I don't care for it at all and the thought of eating it puts me into sugar shock, though I do have to laugh at myself. I'm not great at determining food trends or what will capture the fancy of others. I bet that cupcakes would have three months of fame four years ago and they're still going strong. Predictions like that keep me humble and in my place. Oatmeal cake is like that. The first time I made it I was sure no one would eat it. They loved it then and they love it now. Today's recipe is not original and my aversion to super sweet has kept me from playing with it. The recipe is really simple. The only change I've made is to replace the broiled topping with an icing that's used on German chocolate cake. If you like your cake really sweet and moist, you'll love this confection. If your tastes run to the just barely sweet, come back tomorrow for my special pumpkin cake. Here's the recipe for oatmeal cake.
Oatmeal Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Nancie McDermott
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup butter
1-1/2 cups boiling water
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten well
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1) Combine oatmeal, butter and boiling water in a medium bowl; stir. Set aside for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch rounds or one 9 x 13-inch pan. If making a layer cake, I suggest you line cake pans with parchment or wax paper and grease and flour it as well.
2) Combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in another medium bowl; whisk to combine.
3) Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl as necessary.
4) Stir flour mixture into the egg mixture in 2 batches, beating just until flour disappears. Mix in oatmeal mixture, stirring and folding to combine everything into a nubby but well-mixed batter.
5) Scrape batter into prepared pan/pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes for round pans and 35 to 40 minutes for a rectangular pan. Cake should be golden brown and pulling away from edges of pan and spring back when lightly touched.
6) Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes. If using round layers turn them out and finish cooling on racks. A rectangular cake can cool it its pan.
7) To make frosting: Combine butter, evaporated milk and sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, pecans and coconut. Beat with a whisk, spoon or electric hand mixer until the frosting is thick and cooled. If making a layer cake, spread between two rounds and on top layer. If making a rectangular cake spread it over the top. Yield: 8 to 16 servings.

This is an old cake of ours only we call it Lazy Daisy cake. The recipe makes an 8 inch square but for family functions, we have to double the recipe and bake it in a 9 x 13!
Haven't made it in "forever" -- thanks for reminding me of a beloved cake!

I am with you on the sweetness scale Mary.
Not to mention the whole cupcake trend. Really? A whole store that just sells cupcakes, and not inexpensive, just opened up near me. I will be amazed if they stay in business until January.

Mary, I like sweet desserts, but unfortunately I'm always struggling with my weight, so I try to keep them at a minimum. Your oatmeal cake has the benefit of having a whole grain in it, so I could use that as an excuse ;-) The pumpkin cake sounds good ...looking forward to seeing that as I like the flavor of pumpkin.
I enjoyed the farm photos..living here I don't see many fields of grain.

What would happen if you cut the sugar? It looks like such a nice cake, it is a shame you don't enjoy it.
I am attempting to cut down on the fats and sugars, in my baking. So far, little changes have not hurt the baking. This one could be a good challenge.

Note: The correct title of this article is autobackup.sh. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
|Phil Brady
|Daily database backup at end of day
Readers may be interested in an approach to automating database backups of a mythtv system. This mechanism is used with a dedicated mythtv frontend/backend system with Mythwelcome and ACPI Wakeup. It has been validated with version 0.25 of Mythtv and Mythbuntu 12.04.
It was thought that database backups should be taken:
- daily
- on days when recording had been made
- at a time when the system was otherwise idle
- preferably at the end of the day
- if a recording should straddle midnight, the backup should be after that had finished, so 'end of day' needs defining as 4am.
This is achieved by a bash script which calls mythconverg_backup.pl as appropriate. It is called itself from the recording start system event and from within /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh
See Database Backup and Restore for full details of mythconverg_backup.pl.
The script can be placed in /usr/bin/autobackup.sh
#!/bin/bash # Control database backups # Do a backup after last recording of the day. # Needs calls planted in start recording event and in setwakeup.sh # logging if required (remove or write protect the logfile to stop logging) MYLOGDIR=/var/log/mythtv MYLOGF=autobackup.log MYLOG=$MYLOGDIR/$MYLOGF if [ -w $MYLOG ]; then if [ $(find $MYLOGDIR -name $MYLOGF -size +20M) ]; then #tidy log if [ -w $MYLOG.1 ]; then cp $MYLOG $MYLOG.1 ; fi cp /dev/null $MYLOG fi else MYLOG=/dev/null fi echo "$(date +%F" "%T) $(whoami) called $0 $1 $2" >> $MYLOG #database backup directory [ -r $HOME/.mythtv/backuprc ] &&\ source $HOME/.mythtv/backuprc BACKUPDIR=${DBBackupDirectory:-/var/lib/mythtv/db_backups} #file to indicate recording has been made MYRECFILE="${BACKUPDIR}/RecordingDone" #file showing time of last backup MYLASTBACKUP="${BACKUPDIR}/BackupDone" #recordings backup directory #MYRECDIR=/var/lib/mythtv2/recordings if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then echo " need parameter">>$MYLOG echo "Needs parameter: try $0 --help" exit elif [ $1 == "--recording" ]; then #start of recording if [ -e $MYRECFILE ]; then echo " previous recording noted">>$MYLOG else touch $MYRECFILE chmod 666 $MYRECFILE echo " $MYRECFILE created">>$MYLOG fi elif [ $1 == "--setwake" ]; then #System about to close down - see if backup needed first echo " this wakeup time is $(date +%F" "%T --date=@${2})">>$MYLOG if [ ! -e $MYRECFILE ]; then echo " no recordings to backup">>$MYLOG exit fi TODAY=$(($(date +%s) - 14400)) #offset by 4 hours TODAY=$((TODAY/86400)) BACKUPDAY=0 if [ -e $MYLASTBACKUP ]; then BACKUPDAY=$(($(date --reference=${MYLASTBACKUP} +%s)- 14400)) BACKUPDAY=$((BACKUPDAY/86400)) fi if [ $BACKUPDAY -eq $TODAY ]; then echo " backup already done today">>$MYLOG exit fi WAKEDAY=$((${2}-14400)) WAKEDAY=$((WAKEDAY/86400)) if [ $WAKEDAY -eq $TODAY ]; then echo " Another recording expected today">>$MYLOG exit fi RECDAY=$(($(date --reference=${MYRECFILE} +%s)- 14400)) RECDAY=$((RECDAY/86400)) if [ $((WAKEDAY-RECDAY)) -ge 1 ];then # 1 is interval in days - change if necessary #update marker file then do a db backup touch ${MYLASTBACKUP} /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl --directory ${BACKUPDIR} --rotate 10 >>$MYLOG 2>&1 #did it work? if [ $(find $BACKUPDIR -name 'mythconverg*.sql.gz' -size +5000k -newer $MYLASTBACKUP | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then echo " db backup finished at $(date +%F" "%T)" >> $MYLOG else echo " DATABASE BACKUP FAILED at $(date +%F" "%T)" >> $MYLOG fi rm $MYRECFILE if [ -x /usr/bin/autobackup.pl ]; then echo " Starting backup of recordings">>$MYLOG /usr/bin/autobackup.pl >> $MYLOG 2>&1 echo " Recordings backup finished at $(date +%F" "%T)" >> $MYLOG fi else echo " Backup not due yet">>$MYLOG fi else #assume help needed echo "" echo "Do backups of database at end of day provided a recording has taken place" echo "" echo " 1. Make this script available and executable in /usr/bin" echo " 2. Create backup directory and permissions and set BACKUPDIR in" echo " this script. Default is ${BACKUPDIR}" echo " 3. Create log file with chmod 666 and set MYLOG." echo " default is /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log" echo " no logging will take place if this file is not writable" echo " 4. Ditto /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log.1" echo " 5. Copy the link ~/.mythtv/config.xml to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml" echo " 6. Plant /usr/bin/autobackup.sh --recording in recording start event" echo " 7. plant /usr/bin/autobackup.sh --setwake \$1 in /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh" echo ' ($1 is wakeuptime in secs since 1970)' echo "" echo "To also backup 'best' recordings:" echo " 8. Create backup partition and directory," echo " 9. place autobackup.pl in /usr/bin and make it executable." echo "10. check parameters, here and in perl script." echo " see autobackup.pl --help" echo "" echo "" echo "Calling parameters to this script are:" echo " --setwake <wakeuptime>" echo " --recording" exit fi #database restore reminder: eg # /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl\ # --drop_database --create_database\ # --directory /var/lib/mythtv/db_backups\ # --filename mythconverg-1214-20080626150513.sql.gz
Execute permissions need to be set; two log files need creating and a directory creating for the backups:
#make script executable sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/autobackup.sh #create log files sudo touch /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log sudo touch /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log.1 sudo chmod 666 /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.* #create backup directory sudo mkdir /var/lib/mythtv/db_backups sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/mythtv/db_backups
The user mythtv will be performing the backups. If the file (or link) /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml does not exist then it will need creating so the backup system can access the database. However, if the file or link already exists then omit this step.
sudo cp ~/.mythtv/config.xml /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml
The system needs to be triggered by the 'Recording Start' system event (frontend, setup, system events) which needs to be set to
/usr/bin/autobackup.sh --recording
It is also triggered in the /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh script which passes next wakeup time to the script and allows it to detect whether it is the last closedown of the 4am to 4am day and perform the database backup.
The standard setwakeup script is modified as follows:
#!/bin/sh #$1 is the first argument to the script. It is the time in seconds since 1970 #this is defined in mythtv-setup with the time_t argument echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm #this clears your alarm. echo $1 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm #this writes your alarm #do database backup if appropriate if [ -x /usr/bin/autobackup.sh ]; then /usr/bin/autobackup.sh --setwake $1 fi
The script placed logging information in /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log and rotates it as necessary to /var/log/mythtv/autobackup.log.1 If logging is not required, simply remove these log files.
Backing up Recordings
If the file /usr/bin/autobackup.pl is present, then the script will also trigger a selective backup of recordings. The 'best set' which fits within the available space will be chosen and transferred. See autobackup.pl for details.

One pastor missing, three others reported killed in past month.
COCHABAMBA, Bolivia, November 4 – Christians in Colombia are anxious to learn the fate of pastor William Reyes, missing since Sept. 25, even as three other pastors have gone missing.
Reyes, a minister of the Light and Truth Inter-American Church and member of the Fraternity of Evangelical Pastors of Maicao (FRAMEN, Fraternidad de Ministros Evangélicos de Maicao), left a meeting in Valledupar, Cesar, at 10 a.m. that morning heading home to Maicao, La Guajira. He never arrived.
Family members and fellow ministers fear that Reyes may have been murdered by illegal armed groups operating in northern Colombia. Since March of this year, FRAMEN has received repeated threats from both the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and right-wing paramilitary units.
Abduction is another possibility. Often criminals hold their victims for weeks or months before contacting family members to demand ransom, a tactic designed to maximize the anxiety of the victim's loved ones before proceeding with ransom negotiations.
In the past month, three other Christian pastors were reportedly killed in separate incidents across the country. According to Pedro Acosta of the Peace Commission of the Evangelical Council of Colombia (CEDECOL, Consejo Evangélico de Colombia), two ministers died in the northern Caribbean region and a third in Buenaventura on the Pacific coast.
At press time, members of the Peace Commission's Documentation and Advocacy team, which monitors cases of political violence and human rights abuse, were traveling in those areas to verify the identities of the victims and circumstances of the killings.
Demand for Action
On Oct. 4, churches organized a public demonstration to protest the disappearance of Reyes. Thousands of marchers filled the streets of Maicao to demand his immediate return to his family. The FRAMEN-sponsored rally featured hymns, sermons and an address from Reyes's wife, Idia.
Idia Reyes continues to work as secretary of FRAMEN while awaiting news of her husband. The couple has three children, William, 19, Luz Mery, 16, and Estefania, 9.
CEDECOL and Justapaz, a Mennonite Church-based organization that assists violence victims, launched a letter-writing campaign to draw international attention to the case and request government action to help locate Reyes.
"We are grateful for the outpouring of prayer and support from churches in Canada, the United States, Sweden and the United Kingdom," stated an Oct. 26 open letter from Janna Hunter Bowman of Justapaz and Michael Joseph of CEDECOL's Peace Commission. "Human rights violations of church people and of the civilian population at large are ongoing in Colombia. Last year the Justapaz Peace Commission program registered the murder of four pastors and 22 additional homicides of lay leaders and church members."
Some of those killings may have been carried out by members of the Colombian Armed Forces, according to evidence emerging in recent weeks. Prosecutors and human rights groups have released evidence that some military units abduct and murder civilians, dress their bodies in combat fatigues and catalogue them as insurgents killed in battle.
According to an Oct. 29 report in The New York Times, soldiers commit the macabre murders for the two-fold purpose of "social cleansing" – the extrajudicial elimination of criminals, drug users and gang members – and to gain promotions and bonuses.
The scandal prompted President Alvaro Uribe to announce on Wednesday (Oct. 29) that he had dismissed more than two dozen soldiers and officers, among them three generals, implicated in the murders.
Justapaz has documented the murder of at least one evangelical Christian at the hands of Colombian soldiers. José Ulises Martínez served in a counterinsurgency unit until two years ago, but left the army "because what he had to do was not coherent with his religious convictions," according to his brother, pastor Reinel Martínez.
Martínez was working at a steady job and serving as a leader of young adults in the Christian Crusade Church in Cúcuta on Oct. 29, 2007, when two acquaintances still on active duty convinced him to go with them to Bogotá to request a pension payment from the army. He called his girlfriend the following day to say he had arrived safely in the capital.
That was the last she or his family heard from him.
Two weeks later, Martínez's parents reported his disappearance to the prosecutor's office in Cúcuta. The ensuing investigation revealed that on Oct. 1, 2007, armed forces officers had presented photographs of Martinez's body dressed in camouflage and identified as a guerrilla killed in combat. Later the family learned that Martínez was killed in Gaula, a combat zone 160 kilometers (100 miles) northeast of Bogotá.
Such atrocities threaten to mar the reputation of Colombia's Armed Forces just as the military is making remarkable gains against the FARC and other insurgent groups. Strategic attacks against guerrilla bases eliminated key members of the FARC high command in 2008. A daring July 2 rescue of one-time presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other high-profile FARC hostages was greeted with jubilation around the world.
Yet in Colombia's confused and convoluted civil war, Christians are still targeted for their role in softening the resolve of both insurgent and paramilitary fighters.
"I believe preventative security measures must be taken in order to protect victims from this scourge that affects the church," Acosta said in reference to the ongoing threats to Colombian Christians. "In comparison to information from earlier [years], the cases of violations have increased."

We saw The Dark Knight Rises this weekend. It was awesome.
After the movie Mr. Weebles and I talked about Catwoman. I was underwhelmed by Anne Hathaway's performance but Mr. Weebles liked her. (There's a shocker.)
Then we got to discussing "Catwoman" and "Cat Lady." Both are used to describe females with a feline association, but they have very, very different connotations indeed.
Catwoman conjures up a certain image and attitude, whether she's the original cartoon version, or whether she's played by Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, or Anne Hathaway. Catwoman is sexy, bad, sly, and very agile.
Cat Lady, on the other hand, is not what you'd call sexy. She likes cats so she can't possibly be bad. She's probably not very sly.
And if she's agile, it's only because she needs to be to avoid constantly tripping over Muffin, Babykins, Whiskers, Sir Floof, Mittens, Stripey McStriperson, Arianna Fluffington, Blacky, Chairman Meow, Buttons, and Mrs. Puff.
Should you find yourself in the unenviable position of not knowing whether a female of your acquaintance is Catwoman or Cat Lady, here is a quick guide for your reference:
Catwoman: Wears an exotic perfume, something like Shalimar or Opium.
Cat Lady: Wears a heady mix of catnip, Febreze, and tuna juice.
Catwoman: Her wardrobe has a lot of leather, rubber, and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels.
Cat Lady: Her wardrobe has a lot of bathrobes, sweats, and ratty slippers, all liberally covered in cat fur.
Catwoman: A wild animal in the bedroom.
Cat Lady: Has a lot of animals in her bedroom, but none of them wild. Except for that time Mittens thought Cat Lady's vibrator was an intruder.
Catwoman: She'll cut you and you'll never even feel it.
Cat Lady: She'll apologize profusely for the scratches inflicted by Buttons, he was just playing!
Catwoman: Speaks in a throaty, seductive growl.
Cat Lady: "Who's a good baby? You are! Yes you are! Oh yes you are."
