This is a brief list of Taurahe words translated to English. It includes both official translations and my supplements based on the structure of the official translations supplemented by various native north american languages as I needed them for roleplaying purposes. This list will continue to grow.
An’she – the Sun, one of the Earthmother’s eyes.
Mu’sha – the white moon, one of the Earthmother’s eyes.
Pawne – Biter. As seen in the quest Washte Pawne’s Feather.
Shu’halo – Tauren (“the people”)
Washte – Spirit – this is an interesting choice. Washte in Lakota is “beautiful”. Case of putting together random Native American sounding syllables and accidentally having an actual word? Maybe. This is attested as Spirit in the quest Washte Pawne’s Feather.
Note: These definitions and spellings are entirely my own creation and extrapolation except where they match the wowwiki Taurahe article or other canon source. You’re welcome to use them, but they are not canon.

This post has links to different resources for Tauren Language, Tauren Lore and Tauren Roleplaying. Many of these were used in the creation of the Tauren resources elsewhere on this site.
This post will be expanded as I find new resources to add.

Ingredients:
Line a pan that’s just large enough to hold the chicken breasts with enough aluminum foil to wrap around and seal over the top of the chicken (or use a casserole dish that can be baked with a lid on).
In the pan, drizzle olive oil, a little vinegar, a little teriyaki sauce, then a layer of garlic, ginger and orange slices. Place one of the chicken breasts in the pan. Repeat with alternating layers of the ingredients until you’ve added all the chicken breasts. Top off with a generous layer of the non-chicken ingredients and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil. Put it in a 375° oven for about a half hour.

Sun: Medium Light
Water: Water well when moderately dry
Soil: Prefers well drained soil
Fertilize: monthly during growing season with a weak solution
Native to: South Africa
Notes:
Got mine at Steins several years ago. Not entirely sure mine are fasciata or attenuata. Haworthia fasciata doesn’t like direct sunlight, as I have recently found by accident. I thinned out the plants above it in the window and now it’s turning red! The leaves are becoming brittle and some of them are drying out. It likes bright light, just keep it out of the direct sun.

Ugh. Finding information about plants online is a nightmare. Badly designed sites, simply unusable sites, poorly organized information… you’d think even just in the attempt to make the information useful to themselves all those pages would be highly usable (if not well designed, cuz, not everyone can afford a designer of course).
Well, I’m trying to make my plant info easy to use, easy to find, and easy to follow. If you have any trouble using my site, please, tell me. Sure, it’s optimized for my own use, but I’m putting this information out there as much to make the information easy to use finally as anything else. If there’s something plant-related you’re looking for and you just can’t find it, leave a comment and I’ll see if I can help.

Something I’m seeing on some so-called “green alternatives” products is a little seal with the words “BPI Certified”. I’d never heard of it before so I decided to find out what BPI is and why I should care if something is certified by them. It looks like this:
First thing I discovered is that if you go looking for “BPI Certified” in google, you’re going to come up with a bunch of construction hits. Apparently people can become “BPI Certified” in the construction industry (I didn’t dig deep enough to find out what it actually certifies because it’s not what I’m researching today).
Well, that’s not it. So I tried other keywords and eventually found my way to the Biodegradable Products Institute. Their logo matches the seal I was seeing so this must be what I’m looking for. BPI is, in plain English, a group of manufacturers, academics and government groups who promote biodegradable materials. Read the rest of this entry »
