I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Ranger Bard

Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Deity:
Mielikki is the Neutral Good goddess of the forest and autumn. She is also known as the Lady of the Forest, and is the Patron of Rangers. Her followers are devoted to nature, and believe in the positive and outreaching elements of it. They use light armor, and a variety of weapons suitable for hunting, which they are quite skilled at. Mielikki's symbol is a unicorn head.

Which super-hero or superheroine are you?

You are the most universal mythical beast ever. Sightings of the unicorn have been reported from all over the world, even in modern times. Unicorns are pure and incorruptible. In China, unicorns symbolized gentleness, good will, and wisdom. Christianity links the unicorn with Christ. It is said that unicorns would only allow virgin girls to see them, let alone touch them. They were easily lured into fatal ambushes by a virgin with some poachers waiting for the unicorn in nearby bushes. A unicorn's horn was a highly prized possession, which was reputed to have great healing capabilities. With the touch of its horn, a unicorn could bring back a person who had been dead for several hours. But when separated from the unicorn's body, the magic was significantly reduced. The unicorn had the body of a horse, a unique spiraling horn, and a lion's tail. They were pure white in color.

if you like high heels (i do, but i don't have to wear them; and yeah.. i don't know of any women that actually do, but this is fun anyway), why not figure how high you can go?: As Sex and the City's Carrie finally wanders off television screens, physicists at the Institute of Physics (London, UK) have devised a formula that high-heel fans can use to work out just how high they can go. Based on your shoe size, the formula tells you the maximum height of heel you can wear without toppling over or suffering agonies.

Warcraft v1.14 is out.... followed shortly by v1.14b. uh.. Blizzard isn't looking so good since v1.13, v1.13b, v1.14, v1.14b all came out pretty closely to each other; esp. with the b versions w/i days to fix some issues. Of course, I'm still only in the Orc campaign right now.. but it makes me wonder if their quality/bug-testing dept. a little short-handed or something?? maybe everyone has been playing World of Warcraft instead there.
And in case you missed it, Blizzard had some funny stuff for christmas.

I also picked up an origami calendar (50% off) and a Logitech Cordless MX Duo (oooh, lots of buttons!!!). There's enough junk on my desk.. having a few less cords helps a little (plus it's just kinda cool). You can even plug it all into just 1 USB port (and AC outlet). The keyboard is fairly nice (2 AA batteries included) to the touch..typing (except the esc key is a little misplaced). The scroll wheel on the keyboard is neat. Volume knob (vs. buttons on other keyboards) is definitely handy. The construction is alright IMHO, even if it feels a little flimsy.. (perhaps due to its overall lightweight, which i guess is not bad). The mice is a little heavier (uses 2 AA NiMH batteries) than i'm used to, but it has 8 buttons! :) Diablo II can register the 2 thumb buttons as mouse4 & mouse5. You can set the other 3 wheel buttons via its software for other keystrokes/functions, although it would've been nice if i could configure all the buttons per application as Intellipoint does w/ microsoft mice.
I could've gotten it from newegg.com for $76 (free fedex express saver), but i couldn't wait so i'm doing the $99 - $20 mail-in.

My gf's mom picked up the kirigami calendar. Looks interesting, but I didn't see it at the store. I was lucky to find the origami one.

Yahoo! News - An 'I Survived Gigli' Farewell Bash

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Boston radio station is giving listeners a reason to see the film "Gigli," the box office wreck starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck that some critics have panned as the worst film of the year.

As "Gigli" vanishes from U.S. movie theaters following dismal ticket sales, alternative rock station WBCN is offering to give "I survived Gigli" T-shirts to anyone left in their seats when the lights come up after the final showing at a Boston cinema this Thursday.

Chachi Loprete, the station's creative services director, said WBCN is offering free tickets to 130 "lucky" listeners.

"We're doing this because the movie's been such a bomb," he told Reuters on Tuesday.

Critics have savaged "Gigli." The New York Times dismissed it as a "hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship," while the Washington Post said it was "enervated, torpid, slack, dreary and, oh yes, nasty, brutish and long."

The $55 million film brought in less than $6 million during its first 10 days, according to North American box office estimates issued on Sunday.

In the film, Lopez, also known as J.Lo, plays a lesbian crook who helps Affleck's dim-witted character in a kidnapping plot.

VoidEngineer writes "In a surprisingly insightfull article entitled Harry Crushes the Hulk, Frank Rich discusses how "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" beat out "The Hulk" and goes on to offer some insightfull and interesting comments on demographics, digital media piracy, file sharing and p2p networks, the iTunes store, and more... His conclusion? "[Consumers] may well be willing to pay for their entertainment — if the quality is guaranteed and the price is fair."

oh, the horror!! all these children READING and having an imagination! *GASP*
and knowing what they like? and don't? and what's of good quality? and value?
next thing you know they'll be reading ... MORE and.. oh no! thinking and having ideas!??
one of my favourite parts: But it's no secret that music piracy spread as CD prices rose and teenagers were enraged to pay roughly the same price as a "Harry" hardcover for a dozen or so tracks of which 10 might be filler.

more evidence that the American Media Conglomerates have no clue and are just part of the current generation's "not my fault (after all we spent YEARS.. DECADES, since our respective media were invented!, to perfect our system of ripping off artists and consumers alike to horde our profits (to buy off Congress) and keep our sorry asses free of any responsibility)" mentality)
--so... no wait. Oh, they do have a clue.. they want to keep the status quo. It's the [vast majority of] fans, the consumers, and the artists that don't have a clue (or at least they'd like to keep it that way).

oh darn.. they haven't maintain the HUGE, mega-sales for the 5 years during and since Napster's hey-day ...
Can anyone reasonably expect to maintain those kinds of sales? --nevermind, there's the catch.. reasonability.
So, it MUST be piracy.. after all, we killed Napster ... and that was supposed to stop it...
--yeah.. nevermind the file-sharing stuff. how about:
gee... since we're all a little tighter on money these days, maybe we're just spending our $'s a little more wisely.. for things that provide a better VALUE.
maybe we grew up and our tastes change. maybe ... the crud you've been promoting is CRAP and we DON'T like it and we DON'T want to buy it. (--no, perish that thought. if we say you'll like it and promote it to hell, then you will like it and you will buy it.)
maybe we mind a little more about getting ripped off by the latest and greatest piece of crap --oh, sorry, "music artist's" album (or a bunch of remakes of old songs or another greatest hits collection for the third time).
$7.50 a movie ticket? ... to see "Dumb and Dumberer"??? --uh.. how about we wait and do $3.50 to rent it.. (or just wait 'til it's on HBO).

even at 99cents per track/song on Apple's recently released music service, how much do you think the artists get? how much do the labels get?:

neves writes "A brazilian consumer has sued EMI and Sony, and won! The reason was a copy protection technology in the best seller album "Tribalistas" that didn't play in his car. You can read about it in Folha de São Paulo (babelfish translation here), brazilian biggest newspaper. They must be very afraid, since EMI vice-president defended the company himself in a lawsuit involving less than US$ 350,00. A more detailed report is in my music site Agenda do Samba & Choro (babelfish here), where we release some of the lawsuit files to make it easier for others to sue them. Since last year, we are calling for a boycott (babelfish) of copy protected albums. The companies appealed, and said that they will take the case to the Supreme Court, because it is a 'question of principles'. The consumer is sueing them again, because all new EMI albums in Brazil are being released with copy protection and won't work in his car."

The Good Housekeeping Way #4
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.
