Ghost Moose of The Great North Woods
Moose Are On The Move
I spent last weekend hiking and kayaking in northern New Hampshire and experienced some unforgettable wildlife moments. Among them were over a dozen moose sightings during the dawn and dusk hours. I saw a few in the afternoon as well, but the early morning proved to be the best time for photo ops. Some of the bulls are just beginning to show signs of new antler growth, and the cows still have another month or so left of pregnancy. Neither of them seemed the least bit interested in me as they gorged on salt licks and waded through the marshes of the Great North Woods Region.
This scene will be changing soon as the calves are born, and the bulls start putting on a half inch of new antler growth each day. Moose antlers are one of the fastest growing animal organs, reaching up to five feet across at their height. Hopefully I'll find some time to check up on the progress and photograph them throughout the summer.
Winter Ticks in the Thousands
One of the more alarming sights of the weekend was the number of moose I saw that were heavily infested with winter ticks. These parasites can wreak havoc on moose, and are proving to be quite prolific as both temperatures and moose populations rise. Severe cases can lead to anemia and may even result in death. A single moose can be infected with as many as 100,000 winter ticks feeding on a blood meal. Blood loss is not the only consequence though. Infected moose spend their time itching, scratching, and rubbing when they should be feeding and resting. With dietary demands approaching 10,000 calories a day, efficient time management is essential for a moose's survival.
Incessant scratching can be very damaging to a moose's winter coat. Ecologist Susan Morse recently wrote in Northern Woodlands magazine that moose may lose between 40%-100% of their insulating hair by April. This awful condition makes them highly susceptible to hypothermia. The loss of hair and emaciation leaves them pale in color which has given rise to the nickname "ghost moose" in Canada.
Check out this very moving and somewhat creepy clip on the menacing winter tick, and the role that climate change is playing in their advancement.

The best tinted sunscreens
Posted for Anti AgingBeautynatural skin careOily Skinparaben free skin careSkin CareSun TanningSunscreen On April 4, 2013
Spring has sprung and summer is on the way. The warmer weather is inviting more outdoor activity which means it's more important than ever to apply sunscreen. While sunscreens come in an array of sun protection factor numbers and consistency for different skin care types, they are now adding color to the ingredients. Skin Care Heaven, a skin research center and e-shopping hub based in Encinitas, has picked their favorite tinted sunscreens for this summer. "Sunscreen has come a long way being that most are featherweight, oil-free and colorless," said Skin Care Heaven's spokesperson. "But they've come even farther because while they deliver solar protection some offer a tinted color to give us a sun-kissed look." This combination is growing really popular, said the spokesperson. While this summer sunscreen trend makes headway, Skin Care Heaven picked a couple tinted sunscreens which have received excellent feedback. On the list is Dermaquest Skin Therapy ZinClear SPF 30 in Tan. "This Dermaquest product offers excellent coverage for various types of skin needs," she said. "A physical and broad spectrum sunscreen, zinc oxide is part of its top ingredients which makes it ideal for sensitive skin." While offering a good solar defense, it also has antioxidants to help fight free-radicals which can spur premature aging. Next on the list is EltaMD Skincare UV Physical SPF 41 Tinted Sunscreen. "This chemical-free sunscreen offers an impressive SPF protection and is ideal for sensitive skin," said the spokesperson. Its natural mineral ingredients include zinc oxide and titanium oxide. Like other sunscreens on the market, this tinted gem is water resistant, paraben-free and oil-free; and, it glides on silky smooth. "These tinted sunscreens are so versatile that they can be applied by itself or underneath makeup," she said. "The best part of all is that they will give you a healthy looking glow and keep your skin safe." The 3 Best Pigmentation Correction Products
Posted for Anti AgingBeautyGift Ideasnatural skin careparaben free skin careSkin CareUncategorized On March 2, 2013
As many enter their forties, they begin to notice uneven pigmentation also called age spots. They can vary in shades of color and sizes such as freckles or even larger patches. And more times than not, it's a skin imperfection people want gone. What causes this hyper-pigmentation is often sun overexposure. Skin Care Heaven, a leading e-commerce skin care store, spa and research center based in Encinitas, has chosen its best selling pigmentation correction products. While handpicking their top winners, they took mature, premature aging, normal, dry, and sensitive skin care types into consideration. In their best pick list is Obagi Nu Derm Clear. A hydroquinone-based product, it does an excellent job diminishing pigmentation issues. "Obagi Nu Derm Clear is one of the best products to clear up age spots and remains one of the best skin bleaching creams around," said Skin Care Heaven's spokesperson. "This product is also one of our staff favorites." Obagi Nu Derm Clear is part of a skin care system but can be purchased separately. Another product offering great results is the DermaEarth EnLighten Cell Brightening Serum. This product is hydroquinone-free, arbutin-free, kojic-free and paraben-free. "This DermaEarth line uses multiple peptides and other natural pigmentation correction ingredients to reduce sun spots, age spots and other uneven skin tone issues," said the spokesperson. She continued, "This is truly a great natural, but scientifically driven treatment for uneven skin tone." One more hydroquinone-free product on the list for those sensitive to hydroquinone is Dermaquest Skin Therapy Skin Lightening Serum. "Users of this Dermaquest line notice how their skin lightens and brightens which makes it a win-win product," said the spokesperson, adding how it gently exfoliates. The kojic acid, she explained, minimizes pigmentation issues and also helps ward off future melanin damage." With any pigmentation correction products, sunscreen must always be worn and reapplied when outdoors. Ongoing use of these types of systems will unleash healthy and more flawless looking skin. |

All the World's a Stage: How Blizzard supports roleplay {WoW}
Sep 20th 2010 5:31AM @Snuzzle
Yes, but this can be resolved by a very, very simple mechanic:
Everyone who is allied to you can choose to see your 'appearance gear' or your real gear.
Everyone who is your enemy can only see your real gear.
And ofcourse, in the character tab for inspection you can still see the regular gear stats, and not of the 'appearance gear'.
And NOW I want Blizzard or any of you to repulse the idea once again!

Know Your Lore: Current Alliance politics -- the humans, part 3, pg 2 {WoW}
Jun 27th 2010 6:50AM I believe Thrall only has one rather hard to understand reason because we know more: Garrosh is Grom's son, and to the people of the Horde, Grom saved the orcs from the demonic blood forever. It's one of those 'you must be just like your father'. Thrall hopes that one day Garrosh will be able to do the same, however Thrall doesn't know a few things about Grom, Garrosh's father i believe, that lore does tell us:
1. Grom was the first to drink demonic blood on Draenor as he heard that there were draenei to fight, therefore he was the same person who took the first step to the actual enslavement by the demons. During this time Thrall was likely not even born yet.
2. Grom was the one who willingly drank the demonic blood for a -second time- in order to slay Cenarius simply for the sake of taking Ashenvale to burn it to the ground and claim it for the Horde. During this time Thrall was nowhere around.
What Thrall only knows is that he slew Mannoroth single-handedly, and eventually freed his own people from the curse that he was responsible of creating. And ofcourse Thrall hopes that Garrosh will do the same when the time is right. He doesn't know that in the process of doing so, Garrosh would possibly be the actual cause of the problem that he's going to solve!
Furthermore, Thrall saw Grom always as a proud chief of the Warsong clan. He saw that his clan was loyal and strong, though he overlooked the ruthless and bloodlusted part a bit, because he only got a few glimpses of it. Come to think of it, maybe only one glimpse! One time in WC3 where Grom attacked the Alliance in Stonetalon Mountains without hesitation, disobeying Thrall's order to stay put.
What we know of Grom, and what Thrall knows of it, is a completely different story.
In Nagrand, Thrall showed how Grom saved his people by slaying Mannoroth to Garrosh. Because that is now all that Garrosh knows of his father, he doesn't have any reason to doubt that he is a born leader! UH OH!
As you see in the trailer, and pretty much everywhere where Garrosh shows up, he's following the footsteps of his father that Thrall actually never got to inspect so carefully.
So Thrall now has doubts in his mind, likely. One saying Garrosh is meant to be a hero, the other saying Garrosh is going to be exactly the opposite. A total failure. Currently we likely think the second, but Thrall likely still questions.

Do people who have addons automatically have less skill? I have no clue. That needs research. There's nothing claiming that's correct or incorrect yet.

"When you play the game of thrones you win or you die. There is no middle ground."
–Cersei Lannister
Game of Thrones, a card game for two players, is now available at your local retailer and online on our webstore!
HBO's critically acclaimed Game of Thrones® television series has introduced millions to the world of Westeros, where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime. Based on George R.R. Martin's beloved fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones chronicles the epic struggles between the Great Houses of Westeros as they vie for control of the Iron Throne.
Now fans of the show can give new life to their favorite characters and schemes. Game of Thrones is a two-player card game of battles, intrigues, and struggles for power.
The Wolf and the Lion
The two Great Houses House Stark and House Lannister share little love for each other, and Game of Thrones finds them at each other's throats. After Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Catelyn, come to suspect the Lannisters of attempting to murder their son, Bran, Catelyn's capture of Tyrion Lannister brings the Houses to the brink of war. Now, through plots, battles, lies, and alliances, their Game of Thrones promises to shake the foundations of the Seven Kingdoms.
As the Starks and Lannisters each plot the other's downfall, Game of Thrones features a compelling "plot" mechanic. The game's plot deck offers players the means to generate income, bluff their opponents, and control the tempo of their games…provided they play the right plots at the right time!
Each turn, as both Houses maneuver for power, players select and reveal plot cards. These cards represent a House's tactics for the turn. While all your tactics may be valuable at the right times, knowing how to identify those times can be the key to victory. Play the right plot, and you take a step toward victory. Play the wrong plot, and you may find yourself scrambling to get back to your feet.
Then, after players reveal their plots and marshal their forces, they initiate and resolve a series of challenges. There are three different types of challenges – ways through which the two Great Houses seek to rise above each other:
- Military challenges represent battles, brawls, duels, and assassinations. Westeros is a deadly place, and anyone caught up in the bitter battles between Stark and Lannister is at risk. The winner of a Military challenge is able to weaken his opponent's position in the bluntest of all manners, by killing his characters.
- Intrigue challenges represent lies, scheming, blackmail, and betrayal. There are few secrets in Westeros that can't be discovered, and the winner of an Intrigue challenge is able to discard cards at random from his opponent's hand.
- Power challenges represent strategic alliances with key players, the assertion of rightful claims to positions of authority, and successful politics. The winner of a Power challenge steals power from his opponent and, in so doing, moves directly toward the game's victory condition – the acquisition of fifteen total power.
Game of Thrones contains two, pre-constructed decks of fifty cards each, one for House Stark and one for House Lannister. Game of Thrones also provides players thirty-two plot cards, enough to accommodate both the game's standard plot decks and those decks that players can draft to add greater variety and intrigue to their matches.
One Goal, Multiple Approaches
House Stark and House Lannister are two of the greatest Houses in the Seven Kingdoms, but their methods differ greatly.
- The Starks favor direct military strength, feeling it best suits their Northern sense of honor. Their sigil is the direwolf, and their House words are Winter Is Coming.
- The Lannisters are more adept at the intrigues and schemes that pervade life at court in Kings Landing. Their sigil is the lion, and their House words are Hear Me Roar.
As players participate in the struggles of Game of Thrones, they will be able to appreciate the differences between the Houses' talents. Adapting to the strengths of the House you control is part of the key to success, and in Game of Thrones victory is the only option. Failure is death.
Relive the drama of the hit HBO series today! Game of Thrones is now available at a retailer near you and online on our webstore.

The World's Best Healthcare
June 20, 2013, Buenaventura, Panama, Live and Invest Overseas' First Annual Retire Overseas Index names the world's best and most affordable places to seek medical care.
Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,
As you know, this Monday, we released our Retire Overseas Index for 2013.
This first-ever index surveys the 21 best places in the world to retire. Each destination is graded in each of 12 categories, from cost of living to climate, from infrastructure to healthcare, from residency options to taxes.
As critically important as budget to the would-be retiree overseas is healthcare, especially if you have an existing health concern that requires ongoing monitoring and potentially emergency treatment. In that case, this is a make-or-break issue.
And, in that case, you should take Granada, Nicaragua, and both Ambergris Caye and Cayo, Belize, off your list.
That said, the Hospital Metropolitano Vivian Pellas in Managua provides globally competitive care. Managua is 45 to 60 minutes from Granada, probably near enough for you to be able to get to the capital in time for even emergency care.
There's currently no facility that I would describe as "globally competitive" in Belize. Expats in Belize typically travel north to Chetumal, Mexico, when they need medical care they don't feel comfortable seeking out in Belize.
In other words, in every destination included on our list you'd be near enough to international-standard care, nearer if you stick with the metropolitan areas.
For the healthcare category of our survey, we take into account the availability of care of a standard foreigners will find acceptable in the localized destination being highlighted; insurance coverage options; cost (both of care and of local insurance); and the quality and number of hospitals and clinics. All these things considered, our Retire Overseas Index awards "A's" in this category to:
-Cebu, Philippines
-Chiang Mai, Thailand
-Cuenca, Ecuador
-Georgetown, Malaysia
-Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
-Languedoc, France
-Medellin, Colombia
-Panama City Beaches
Note that I made the point above that, for these rankings, we are looking at the private care available in each destination. This is because retirees in these places are going to be more comfortable seeking private care, rather than care from the local public system.
In the Philippines, for example, the private health care sector is booming, fueling a fast-growing medical tourism industry here. This is what we'd recommend the resident retiree tap into. Public facilities in this country likely would not be of a standard you'd find acceptable.
Kathleen Peddicord
P.S. You can read the complete survey, including detailed budgets and grades for each destination in each of the 12 categories considered, in the current issue of my Overseas Retirement Letter, available here.

Teenager sentenced in fatal shooting of woman A Delaware teenager has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the fatal shooting of a woman who was the victim of a home invasion. Daiquan Reams, an 18-year-old Wilmington man, told a judge at his sentencing Friday he shot Tamekia Kearney in May 2012 because "I just wanted to fit in." Reams was 17 at the time of the shooting. He told investigators he killed the 28-year-old Kearney to help a friend who had been involved in the home invasion. Kearney had been cooperating with police at the time of the crime. The News Journal reports prosecutors struggled to get witnesses to cooperate. They agreed to recommend no more than 15 years for Reams as part of a plea deal. |

When I started Charlotte Parent Coaching, it became immediately apparent that while I excelled at the clinical aspects of running a practice, I was abysmal at the business end. You know, stuff like billing, keeping track of expenses, taxes, balancing accounts, blah, blah, blah.
Seriously, y'all. The business would have completely tanked if a colleague hadn't urged me to hire a bookkeeper to do all the boring stuff so I could concentrate on the actual clients. It's a beautiful relationship—I do all the fun and interesting stuff, she does all the stuff that makes me want to shoot myself in the head.
When it came to writing my book, I was interested in a similar type of arrangement. I do all the fun stuff (you know, write it) and someone else worries about the tedious details, like making sure it looks pretty and sprinkling everyone with fairy dust so that they will suddenly want to buy it and read it.
But then I went to a blogging conference in Charlotte, NC. There, Robin O'Bryant (author of Ketchup is a Vegetable and Other Lies Moms Tell Themselves) spoke and she discussed how the very best person to market a book is, um, the actual author.
Crap, really? I'd rather just write passive-aggressive blog posts from my bed while eating frosting out of a can.
So because I'm horribly uncomfortable with the idea of being all, "Buy my book, you guys! It's really good, I swear!", I googled "women talking about their successes" and read six articles about how and why women should speak up about their accomplishments. Apparently tooting our own horn about our achievements "goes against gender stereotypes," so we don't do it very often. But the internet highly recommends that we start doing it, as our failure to do so contributes to lower pay, fewer promotions, underfunding of our business endeavors and get this—fewer book sales.
It's like the internet was speaking directly to me.
So this is where I start this blog post over without justifying why I'm promoting my book:
I totally wrote a book! It's called Better Behavior for Ages 2-10: Small Miracles that Work Like Magic and it focuses on how to help your child exhibit better behavior. It discusses topics such as coping with power struggles, improving communication, dealing with temper tantrums, and improving listening behavior. It talks about why children misbehave, how to prevent it, and how to reinforce good behavior and administer consequences. It's like taking a peek into my parent coaching world without actually inviting me into your home and having to worry about whether I'm going to judge your housekeeping (I won't, I swear.).
I think–no, I KNOW, it has the power to really help families.
I'm proud of it. While I'm proud that I am educated and knowledgeable enough to write it, I'm mostly proud that I was confident enough to write it, especially in the middle of a divorce, a custody dispute, a gag order on my blog, and the launch of my new business. Some days I just wanted to crawl back into my bed and stop being an adult for a while, but I had to channel my professional side and honor my commitment to write it. So I got up, opened my laptop, and started writing. It was hard, but I did it, and I suspect that I'll be doing it again in the near future.
I know most of you–my readers–are parents. And many of you have young children; babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged kids. You may have a sister who is pregnant, a best friend with a child in midst of the terrible twos, or a co-worker who complains that she and her husband parent completely differently. You may be one of my school psychology peeps and be looking for a resource to recommend to parents. You might be a pediatrician, a counselor, a psychiatrist, a teacher, a child care giver, or a grandparent.
Or you may just be my mom, and have no reason to buy it except to be supportive.
You, my readers, have seen me transform over the last 2.5 years. You've watched me go from funny, to very sad, to beaten, to uplifted.
Now you have the chance to see me empowered.
I wrote a book, you guys.
And I want people to know that it's out there. And to do that, I need your help. Consider buying the book and leaving a review on Amazon. Download the e-reader version. Tell your friends and families about it. Post the link on Facebook (several times, not just once). Review it on Goodreads. Write about it on your blog. Do a book study with it at your school. Contact me if you want me to speak in front of your favorite group of people, or Skype into your Mommy's Group, or chat with a graduate school class. Help me get the word out.
So many of you have expressed feeling helpless as I walked down the path to single-motherhood over the last couple of years. That was a solitary journey, for sure. But my path from "blogger" to "successful author" can only be paved by family, friends, clients, and people who support my work.
Um, that's you.
So, let's get a conversation started about parenting.
Preorder it now. It's on sale on Amazon. You can also buy it directly from the publisher, Lesson Ladder.
It's official release date is September 15, but presales greatly contribute to its ranking on Amazon. So if you know that you're going to buy it anyway, just go ahead and hit the "checkout" button now.
Thanks, y'all.
Oh, and please join me on my personal Facebook page. It's fun there.

Steely Dan III by Beat Frequency – experimental theremin music with effects
Just watching this vintage movie is worth the posting
Recorded in one take. Effects chain: ModTone BuzzBoy in etherwave standard theremin w/ ESPE01 mod and effects loop, to Marshall Echohead Delay, to Electro Harmonix Talking Machine w/ expression pedal. Some dynamic compression and reverb added in post-production.
RCA Theremin & Talking Machine
The theremin in this video is the instrument that once belonged to Julius Goldberg, the partner and personal assistant of Russian inventor Leon Theremin. This is a 1929 RCA theremin that was customized by Goldberg in the early 1930's and provided with "lightning bolt" volume and pitch antennas. In this video, I am using an ELECTRO-HARMONIX "Talking Machine" on a fixed, open "AH" sound, which lends to the tone a remarkable likeness to a human tenor.
The theremin has often been compared to an "electric soprano" but used with the Talking Machine, it can also be an ELECTRIC TENOR or an ELECTRIC BARITONE!
The composition is the famous tenor aria, NESSUN DORMA, from the opera TURANDOT by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini.

Ethero 2 Live Demo
Ethero is the iPhone's answer to the etherophone, or Theremin as it's better known. The Theremin is one of the earliest electronic instruments ever created and it's now famous for it's signature eerie sound.
The traditional Theremin is usually controlled without any physical contact, with the player using each hand to control both the pitch and the volume of the sound. Ethero works in a slightly different way, but it still attempts to emulate the real instrument! Ethero takes the amount of light coming into the device's camera and translates it into a sound frequency. So, waving your hand or another object in front of the device camera will change the pitch of the sound. The more light coming into the camera, the higher the pitch. To control the volume of the sound, simply touch the screen of the iphone and move it up and down the screen.
"This is just a quick demo of Ethero 2 running live on my iPad 2.
The video shows a couple of the preset scales in the app. The synth sounds are from the Moog Animoog which is running in background-audio mode and being controlled via virtual MIDI ports.
Ethero 2 will run on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
MIDI is sent over virtual ports, WIFI and via the Camera Connection Kit. Of course, your mileage will vary with the use of virtual MIDI ports as there's quite a lot of processing going on. It works best on the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (and I guess 'the new iPad', but I can't test that… yet!) "
MuTheremin iPad App Demo
The following demonstrates MuTheremin iPad App version 1.0. It's a multi-touch theremin inspired synth and it's free.
Pros: Free, Multi-Touch,cool lights
Cons: It's buggy. You will hear clicks and noise. I used an Alesis IO dock for audio. Also tried it though headphones. Same problem.

Song by Yoko Kanno performed on a theremin
To Tell the Truth – composed by Yoko Kanno. Performed by Randy George on theremin, with music from the original sound track of the animation series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
"Thank you dear Yoko Kanno, your melodies have touched my heart. I am so grateful for your contribution to the universe of music.
This video is dedicated to the those people who have it within themselves to speak from a place beyond the mind. To speak from a place of boundless wisdom, from the human core. To Tell The Truth requires immense courage because we live in a world where the the truth has purposely been hidden, and the only place to find it again is by going within and having trust in the heart.
The theremin is the only musical instrument in the world that can function as an interface for utilizing organic fluid motions to express what is deep inside a person's heart and soul.
Thank you, Lev Termen, Robert Moog, and Thierry Frenkel, masters of the art of weaving electronics and music. I am able to sing with my hands because of these three great people."
Playing the Moog Etherwave Pro Theremin
Here is the incomparable Moog Etherwave Pro Theremin running through the Eventide Space processor giving it an otherworldly sound. Eventide Space can create a variety of spatial effects, including basic reverbs, delays and unique combination effects. Space features 12 of Eventide's reverb combination effects, taken from the H8000FW and Eclipse V4.
The Etherwave Pro is a professional quality theremin featuring classic theremin sounds, excellent playability housed in a beautiful eye-catching cabinet. It is designed as a solution for the gigging musician who wants the best theremin available in a portable package. The Etherwave Pro also won the 2005 Excellence In Design Award (EID). This bold, beautiful theremin is designed for the gigging musician. Drawing on his 50 years of experience, Bob Moog has designed the next step in the evolution of the original electronic instrument, the Theremin. The Etherwave Pro is a step up both from the best-selling theremin of all time, the Etherwave Standard. The Etherwave Pro features professional quality response and sound in a package designed both for beauty and portability. Whether you're a seasoned thereminist or someone drawn to it's unusual sound and looks, you'll appreciate the quality of response and control this product offers.
The Etherwave Pro features removable pitch and volume antennas. The Pitch range of this instrument extends to 6 1/2 octaves. Both Volume and Pitch antenna response are tuned from the wooden pitch and volume knobs as well as the fine adjustment trim controls at the bottom of the front panel.
The front panel controls include a range switch which allows for choosing one of three octave ranges. The Timbre rotary switch is used to select one of the five preset timbres (classic theremin tones) or enables the front panel Waveform, Brightness, and Filter controls, which allow the thereminist to tailor their own personal theremin tone.
The Etherwave Pro also features a headphone output with level control and a dedicated tuner output. A lighted Standby switch allows the Etherwave Pro to be on but silences the audio output.
"Thanks to Josh Flynn for playing the theremin and shooting the video."

Theremin for the Classics
Schubert played on the theremin:
Some of my online theremin friends didn't want me to record this theremin transcription of Franz Schubert's SERENADE. They said it was too schlocky and romantic and that I shouldn't waste my time on it! Nevertheless, it remains one of the most popular and recognizable melodies from one of my favorite composers. This arrangement is for theremin and Haken continuum (accompanied by the Korg TRITON EXTREME). The continuum is playing the delicate recorder/flageolet sound that follows the theremin. Although I think my brain could have played all three instruments at once, I just don't have enough arms and hands, so I prepared the track and played the theremin live.
In the summertime, I often use my barn for music. The barn was built in the 1860's during the American civil war and no nails were used in its construction. It is made entirely of hardwoods and held together with expertly fitted joints and wooden spikes. When you play music in it, the whole building vibrates like the soundbox of a giant bass or cello. Unfortunately it isn't very well insulated and it isn't heated so it is useless for music in the winter. But it's great in the summer!
According to music historians the Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797 – 1828) wrote this composition in the summer of 1826 in a beer hall, jotting the notes down on the back of a menu. He had apparently stopped in to the place to have a couple of pints and cool off.
The theremin in the video is a Moog Ethervox. The Haken continuum is a continuous controller which, unlike the theremin, does not have a sound of its own. It can sound like just about anything you want and, like the theremin, can elegantly slide from one end of its range to the other in a seamless "gliss". It is also polyphonic and has 16 voices (the theremin is monophonic with only one voice).
I was going to call this piece, "Schubert & the theremin & the continuum go to Bollywood" because I am used to wearing Indian clothes when the weather is particularly hot (as it was today when I recorded this). Natural air conditioning

Dumb question since I am not familiar with game play and BGG is down so i can't ask there.
What has me confused is that a nw battle seems to be started in Step 2 of Concluding the previous battle. Does this just mean a new battle is selected but no one plays cards yet? Step 3 is discard your battle line. So the heart of the matter is this: Do you keep your battle line out for the entirity of the round, battle after battle? Or is the battle line discarded as soon as a battle is concluded?
The order just seemed strange and is implying something I don;t think to be true.

I received a sample of this and I love the scent! It smells kind of like patchouly or sandalwood, but w/o the noxious overpowering hippie stench. The granules are really fine and feel really nice on the skin. I don't know how much this costs, but most likely I will buy a full size container when my sample has been used up.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Did not like this scrub very much because it dissolved too fast and couldnt really get a good scrub down. Also did not care for the scent. The only good thing about it is that it doesnt not leave the skin dry but somewhat velvety. I think this is best for a bath.
I got this as a sample because I think the Body Shop products are too expensive (though I use their bar soap... love grapeseed). And at 28CAD, they are too expensive.
But I did like it. I liked the smell, subtle, light but not the usual lotion, bath etc scent. It's a salt scrub (I've only ever used sugar) and I liked how thick it was and you only needed a little. It's a pearly-white in colour and the grains of salt are really thick/rough etcc at first but the water dissolves it, like normal salt. I guess it doesn't stay long enough to get a good scrub out of it and it was overly expensive for something that you're gonna wash off.
=] but I liked the product in general, wouldn't buy it though.
Salt is small thus gentle on the skin! Smell nice!
Skin feel smoother after few application.
Skin does not feel dry after application.
Great scent, fine salt scrub...but the salt dissapears and melts away way too quickly for you to get a good scrub. Expensive, but maybe the ingredients are good? I would purchase the Olive scrub (also by the body shop) instead works much much better and cheaper too!
My favorite scrub - not super oily or abrasive! This scrub has a great scent and leaves my skin feeling soft. To work around the packaging and to keep excess moisture out of the jar, I spoon some into a small container that is easy to open and lasts several showers. This way, if excess moisture gets into my "decant" my whole jar of scrub isn't spoiled.
More reviews by perfectly_pink
this is such a lovely scrub !! the smell is beautiful,the salt is not too harsh on your skin but still exfoliates well,plus the shea butter in this leaves the skin sssoooo smooth no residue ect.only thing is the price ..it is pretty high ,would probably still repurchse
More reviews by nutsaboutmakeup
Love the scent! Gentle effective scrub on my skin ( i cant take harsh scrubs) + i always use a brush to scrub in combination with a scrub. so this works well for my skin except for the crappy packaging.
Hate the packaging (& price)! Jar looks cute but it isnt practical or user friendly. You dig your fingers into the jar - unhygenic. Stupid complicated hinge that has wacked my fingers a few times! You worry about getting the insides wet so you scoope some in dry hands then close the jar & then you spread them all over & find you want more so your hands have difficulty opening the darn jar. i solve the problem by decanting some into a another container. BUt its a waste of my money for an impractical container. continued >>
More reviews by burlesquebunny
This is a truly indulgent salt scrub. I can't get enough of the incredible scent and it is so gentle. I was doubtful about using it because the grains looked so fine compared to other salt scrubs I have used in the past. But I was pleaqsantly surprised because it is every bit as effective. I wish the packaging was different though. That lck on the lid always snaps back at me. But I guess it's a small price to pay because I bought four of these for $9/ea at a Body Shop sale. But I will repurchase when they are on sale again.

Perhaps -- yet this particular "Mistake," which appeared on September 2, can't be dismissed so simply. The incident simultaneously demonstrates the limits of online technology and the power of individuals to influence the media in the Internet age. And even if the e-mailer has a personal vendetta against Johnson, as he suspects, his actions in this case suggest, at the bare minimum, a troubling level of sloppiness.
In July 20's "A Season for Hating Those Who Aren't Us," Johnson railed against "Operation Save America loonies" -- particularly "the woman from Fullerton Road in Southern California" he'd spotted on the 16th Street Mall. According to Johnson, who lived in SoCal while working for the Orange County Register prior to joining the Rocky staff in 1996, "I used to pass her every morning on my way to work, a woman who stood on a street corner outside an abortion clinic virtually in the shadows of Disneyland holding high these same pictures of aborted fetuses." He stopped to speak with her one day, he continued, and she answered each of his questions with "Jesus loves you" before growing frustrated and informing him that "she would 'kill' me if I didn't get away from her." He added, "When I wrote of her then, of her threat, in my column, she hounded me for two years with similar threats."
These lines caught the eye of a woman whose e-mail address brands her as Boulder Babe; she declines to supply her given name. The Babe identifies herself as a journalist, and claims to have lived in Southern California when Johnson was with the Register. The protester paragraphs sounded like a "fabrication" to her, she states, in part because there's no Fullerton Road in Anaheim, where Disneyland is located. Indeed, the closest Fullerton Road to there is in La Habra, two suburbs to Anaheim's north. Describing a storefront on Fullerton Road as being "virtually in the shadows of Disneyland" is tantamount to contending that the State Capitol is virtually in the shadows of Red Rocks.
By her telling, Boulder Babe checked Johnson's story on the vast Nexis database and the Register website and asked "people who worked [at the paper] if they remembered the story or him being threatened." When she came up empty, she sent complaint e-mails to Johnson and other Rocky types; one made its way to editor/publisher/president John Temple. Then, on August 1, she e-mailed yours truly, laying out her concerns and writing that the Rocky had "ignored a request for a correction."
My Nexis searches failed to find any column like the one Johnson depicted, so I e-mailed him about it. He replied that he couldn't find the column but was certain that "if you go by that Fullerton abortion clinic, that woman is still standing outside every morning."
This response left plenty of loose ends, but I realized that tying them together would be practically impossible. Since Nexis isn't all-inclusive, I wrote in an e-mail to Boulder Babe, the only way to prove that Johnson hadn't previously mentioned the protester in his column would be to travel to the Register's offices and physically go through each back issue -- something I couldn't do.
Temple faced the same dilemma. "Essentially, you'd have to go through hard copy and microfilm for years," he says. So he tossed the ball into Johnson's court. As Johnson puts it, "I said, 'Okay, John, if I can't find the column, I'll write that I couldn't -- and I couldn't. I remembered what happened and thought I must have written about it, but apparently I didn't." Likewise, he didn't report anything about the alleged threats to law enforcement or superiors at the paper, even though he wrote in "Mistake" that the protester "called and e-mailed me at the paper numerous times." His reasoning? "I didn't take her seriously," he says. "I get calls all the time from crazy people." As for that Fullerton abortion clinic, he was unable to track it down, despite his previous confidence that the protester was still in front of it.
Johnson's career has had many high points (he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 1993), but his past has some checkers in it. In 1983 he left a reporting job at the Wall Street Journal's Los Angeles office over a travel-expenses dispute. "I probably would have been fired, but I resigned instead," he concedes. He also stumbled when it came to a 1999 Rocky column called "The Policeman's Job Reconsidered." He built the piece around an impassioned defense of law enforcers attributed to "Trooper Mitchell Brown of the Virginia State Police," who supposedly died two months after putting his thoughts on paper. Had Johnson bothered to check, he would have discovered that there was no Trooper Brown; the apocryphal essay had been floating around the Internet for months. Johnson initially wrote to a reader who questioned the column that Brown's existence, or lack thereof, was "irrelevant," but he subsequently confessed his blunder, sort of. Today he says, "I got taken in on that one."

Miranda's Rescue For Large & Small Animals is a no-kill rescue, adoption & sanctuary facility that brings relief to hundreds of distressed, neglected, abused & discarded animals, large & small, every year. We are a non-profit 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt public charity organziation, EIN #68-0417389.
Miranda's Rescue is a 50 acre facility with 30 working acres. We are located on the corner of Drake Hill & Sandy Prairie Roads. Our property is divided into two sections. The Drake Hill Road Entrance houses our wonderful, hugable and adoptable dogs, puppies, cats & kittens while the Sandy Prairie Road Entrance houses the large & small animals up for adoption as well as sanctuary animals.
We rescue dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, small mammals, domestic and game birds, tropical birds, livestock, & exotic animals such as alpacas, emus & llamas and many whatever other critter needs our help and we can accomodate. Some of our animals have found permanant refuge at our facility. Click our Link on the left "Sanctuary". There's no type of animal that we won't rescue. We've even had camels residing here before. Many of the animals are adopted out to loving homes while others live permanently on the rescue grounds as sanctuary residents.
Miranda's Rescue has been recognized by the California State Assembly as the "Best Sanctuary For Abused Animals in Northern California" & the Red Cross named founder, Shannon Miranda, one of "Humboldt County's Heroes". The California State Assembly also recognized Shannon for his help with the probation youth of Humboldt County.
Many people do not know the difference between a shelter and a rescue/sanctuary. WE ARE A RESCUE/SANCTUARY not a shelter. Hopefully this clears up any confusion.
ANIMAL SHELTER: Shelters are government funded. This means that all expenses like vaccines, flea, worming, heart guard prevention and spay/neuter are paid for at a low cost by the government. When an animal at a shelter becomes ill or the shelter is too full, the only outcome is euthanasia. This is to prevent the spread of disease in the shelter and to make room for new animals otherwise millions of animals would be dumped alongside the road. It's less costly to just "get rid" of the problem then to treat. The government simply does not allow the funding to treat all of the animals in need.
WE ARE AN ANIMAL RESCUE AND SANCTUARY: An animal rescue/sanctuary takes on the expense at full cost and also doesn't euthanize just because an animal becomes ill or to make room for new animals. When our rescue is full, we don't take in any new animals. Adoptable animals stay at our sanctuary until we find a loving and permanent forever home. We reserve humane euthanasia for terminally ill animals due to disease, injury or suffering that can't be alleviated and for animals that show signs of a behavioral or temperamental defect that can't be rehabilitated where placement would constitue a danger to the public or animals who would pose a public health hazard. The term unadoptable will vary between individual municipalities and rescues. Any humane euthanasia is performed and approved by licensed veterinarian clinics who are very well known and respected in our community. Our rescue always has and always will do everything possible to save an animal's life!
WE RECEIVE NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING: Government funding is reserved for an animal shelter. We are an animal rescue. We have two city contracts with Fortuna and Ferndale that is "City Funded" not Federally Funded. Hopefully this clears up any confusion. Per these contracts, we take in any animal that is turned-in or picked up by local law enforcement in these two cities. Any wildlife is picked-up by the Wildlife Care Center.
OUR RESCUE OPERATES FINANCIALLY with proceeds from our thrift shops in Fortuna, Eureka, McKinleyville & Garberville along with adoption fees, creative and innovative fundraising projects & donations from the private sector.
Ways you can make a monetary donation: 1.) Click on the donate tab on our website to donate via paypal and to see a list of other ways you can donate. 2.) Call our Treasurer, Dean, 707.616.5018 with a credit card over the phone. 3.) Stop by one of our thrift stores and leave a check or cash at the front counter. 4.) You can mail a check to Mirandas Rescue, 1603 Sandy Prairie Rd. Fortuna, CA 95540. All funds are directly deposited into Miranda's Rescue Primary Nonprofit Business Account.
The rescue would not be where it is today without its hardworking and dedicated staff & volunteers. Presently the rescue has 7 full and/or part time employees plus 1 outreach/county paid employess with an ongoing rotation of 20 part-time part-time volunteers! This does not include volunteers who stop by randomly or in outreach groups which totals over 100. Our 4 thrift stores have 17 (mostly part-time employees), 1 County paid employee and anywhere from 40-70 full and part-time volunteers throughout the year. Bless all of you for believing in the rescue's mission...to save as many animals as we possibly can! Whether you made a contribution, adopted one of our furry companions, transported animals, shopped at one of our stores, worked at an event, cleaned a horse stall, walked a dog, cleaned an enclosure or kennel, sorted clothing or answered phones we want to sincerely say to you - THANK YOU for your support in helping make our community a better place to live.
Don't forget to make adoption your first option at Miranda's Rescue. RESCUE * HEAL * EDUCATE! Please spay & neuter your pets! If you have question, email us at
email@example.com or visit us at www.mirandasrescue.org.
Shannon Miranda grew up in Ferndale, CA (Pop. 1,400)...home of the famous "Avenue of the Giants" (Redwood Trees). Contrary to his nature, he was born into a family of hunters and grew up saving whatever critter he could. He gained respect and experience while training mustangs in high school.
In October '94, Shannon's life forever changed. While working at a local lumber mill, he fell 30ft through an unstable floor, which left him wheelchair bound with a broken neck and back. The diagnosis was that he would never walk again. For Shannon Miranda, this was a "wake-up call". He was seriously injured and unable to return to any form of a structured job and father to a 5 day old son. Shannon is not one to lie around feeling sorry for himself. Working with animals was his true calling. Raising his son and doing rescue work became his form of physical and emotional therapy.
It was one year before he was out of the wheelchair and walking again. And by that time, he had already acquired a menagerie of rescued horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, a possum, and a family of raccoons, even guinea pigs. Needless to say, with an ever-growing need of animals in search of loving homes, Shannon's rescue quickly outgrew its surroundings at his trailor home in Ferndale. He soon moved to the Ferndale Coppini Dairy. It was here in 1998 that he incorporated as the nonprofit, Miranda's Rescue For Large and Small Animals; a no-kill rescue, adoption and sanctuary facility. Believing in controlling the pet population, all cats & dogs are spayed or neutered before placement.
His operation was such a success that within four years Shannon once again outgrew his spot on Coppini Lane. In late 2001, the rescue moved to a 50 acre ranch that had 30 usuable acres to build on. It came complete with a barn, plenty of room to expand, horse trails along the Eel River & bordered the greenway boardwalk to walk the dogs. Ironically, it was the very same place where he began understanding & learning about animals during his teen years with his friend Bonnie Tanferani who operated, what she called a Funny Farm for Animals.
For the past decade, Shannon has co-operated the rescue with Dean Paris, his life partner, who moved to the area from Boston, MA.

Above is our good friend Rachel and Breezer. He is one of the many lifetime sanctuary animals at the rescue. This would be the last photo taken of him. In 2011, the rescue had to lay the handsome Breezer to rest at the ripe ole' age of 29. He had many incredible years living at the rescue. If Breezer could share his fondest memories, it would be taking foster children on trail rides, being a mentor to other horses on how to behave and spending time with his doting Miranda's Rescue Family. Rest in peace big guy. We shall miss your sweet personality and gentle soul. You gave many young children a true belief in themselves that they "matter". Thank you for many wonderful years. Love Shannon, Dean, Kim, Blake, Mikayla and Logan Miranda.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rocky!
Facts about Rocky
- Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rocky's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with dogs.
My name is Rocky and I am so excited to find my forever home!
I am very playful, and even though I may be little now, I can already run with the big dogs. My foster mom has labs, and I just love playing with them.
I also love to explore! There is so much to see and smell and experience! Mom says I have no fear except for missing out on something.
I have lots of energy, but don't let that fool you, I enjoy a nap and a loving cuddle as well.
The crate isn't my favorite thing, but I'm starting to learn it is a safe place for me. I don't sleep through the night yet, but I do go back to sleep.
Potty training is kind of tricky, but she is working on me with that too. She says I am still a puppy, so I will get better as I get older.
I love all people, big or small, and mom wants to make sure I tell you that I am way cuter in person!
Do I sound like the puppy you have been looking for? I can't wait to meet you!
Love, Rocky

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rocky, a Schaumburg German Shorthaired Pointer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shorthaired Pointer for sale in Schaumburg, or seeking a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy from a breeder in Schaumburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Schaumburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Schaumburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shorthaired Pointer breeders who help with German Shorthaired Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Schaumburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Near 100% placement rate for the last several years.
Butler undergraduate students participate in a four-year, structured career development program with career mentor and two required internships. We work with a large network of employers and alumni and our graduates are in high demand.
Each fall, we host at least two evenings with representatives from the larger and regional public accounting firms. These firms come to campus to promote their internship programs and recruit students.
In addition, we have an active accounting club that organizes presentations and networking opportunities for students. For example, the group recently hosted representatives from the Internal Auditors Association who discussed careers in internal auditing.
Our location in the heart of Indianapolis is ideal for networking, internships and full-time employment opportunities. Through the MPAcc program, students interact with member of the Indiana CPA Society and the Indiana State Board of Accountancy.
The objective of the MPAcc program is to prepare students for the CPA exam and I was able to pass the exam before the start of my career. In studying for the exam and working for PwC, it is apparent that the knowledge I gained through the program is both relevant and applicable. It is a requirement at PwC to pass the exam to be eligible for promotion; therefore, the benefits of the program will be realized not only daily but over the course of my career.

text: Assamites Clan Newsletter Volume 2 Issue 1 (May 1999) *Note: I have taken over the production of the Assamite monthly newsletter from Mike Bohlmann. Thanks Mike for getting the Assamites started. Quick Overview of the Assamites: In the World of Darkness, the Assamites are one of the most feared clans due to their reputation of being assassins of kindred and mortals. In fact, at one point in time, all of the Camarilla clans had to band together in order to stop the Assamites. Unfortunately, in the world of the CCG the Assamites have a slightly different fate. Ok. A very different fate. As many of you know, the Assamites are one of the hardest clans to run effectively. This is because the Assamites basic skills of Celerity, Obfuscate, and Quietus do not enhance bleeding, intercepting, bouncing bleeds, or even voting. And even in combat, the Assamites still struggle with normal combat defense since they have no S:CE killer (like Immortal Grapple), no Dodge killer (like Scorpion Sting), and little in the way of directly preventing damage. They also do not have any princes to give them the powerful traditions that could help out in the intercepting and pool gain areas. So far, the Assamites do not have much going for them. Another disturbing aspect of the Assamites is the capacity of the vampires. Yes, the vampires with capacity of 7 and above kick major ass but the smaller ones (besides al-Rashid) struggle in comparison to other clans. This means that you are going to have to make each and every action you take count. And of course, the only way the Assamites can get multiple actions per turn is using the dangerous Rutor's Hand. So what can they do? Well, they can dominate combat if they are prepared correctly for it. They can get around Fortitude with Blood Sweats. They can continue combat with kindred that play S:CE with the use of Psyches. And they can even defeat vamps that rely on Dodges by packing many extra strikes. But rarely can they do all three in a game. Why play the Assamites? For complete satisfaction when you roll over someone or an entire table. Yes, it can be done. I mean, anyone can build a Malkavian sneak and bleed or a Ventrue vote deck. But how many people see the Assamites getting 4 or 5 victory points? It can not be done without careful planning and a good dose of luck. But it can be done and I am going to show you how over the next several months. May's Fiction Section: Within the somber antechamber located inside Alamut, the air was heavy in anticipation. Thetmes had called court with his greatest assassins of the clan. These meetings had become fewer and far between in the past years as recently Thetmes mood had slipped to below horrid. The clan's campaigns had severely failed around the globe. Many unsuccessful investments and uncountable unfulfilled contracts had left a bad taste in Thetmes' mouth. Image is everything to him and right now the Assamites' image appeared vulnerable. Most of the kindred in attendance knew of the mysterious visitor that had arrived earlier today. His arrival was unannounced and seemingly uninvited. When Al-Nastal brought Thetmes the news that a stranger had slipped past all of their outer defenses in the, Themes only shrugged as if he half expected it. No one spoke in the room now. It was as if all of the Kindred held their breath waiting for the next instructions. Of course breathing was only necessary for mortals but Thetmes had a way to make everyone seem less than immortal when he was present. "Please allow our visitor to enter the hall", Thetmes said to the assassin closest to the door. When the stranger entered the hall, all eyes turned to see what the man looked like. The visitor could only be described as painfully ordinary. On a busy street, he would be just one of the nameless faces in the crowd. No distinguishing features. Nothing. And with a loud voice, Thetmes said to the crowd of assassins, "Take a careful look everyone. This is the man that will change us forever. He has the information that I have sought for many years. This marks the beginning of a new campaign and a new day for us. A campaign that will once again raise the Assamites to be the most feared clan." And with that, Thetmes turned to the nameless visitor and said, "Let me see your true face. Please take off the Mask of a thousand faces." The man hesitated just for a brief second before responding, "Are you sure? Some people have a difficult time seeing the truth as you know." Thetmes said only one word in response. "Please". The disguised man simply closed his eyes for a moment and everything around him began to wane. Images began to blur. What was once a plain man standing before them now became a hideously deformed monster. There were many shocked clansmen gasping as they quickly realized that a Nosferatu was now among them here in the sacred halls of Alamut. Thetmes did not show any outward signs of horror. Actually, the only thing Thetmes did was slightly smile and say "Welcome, my brother." May's Deck Idea Clinic: As we saw in the fiction section, Thetmes understands the importance of information. Having the right information at the right time can be an insurmountable advantage. Here we will try to duplicate this. The Crypt: Al-Ashrad (9) CEL QUI obf aus THA Parnassus (7) CEL QUI aus tha Parnassus (7) CEL QUI aus tha Parnassus (7) CEL QUI aus tha Abd al-Rashid (5) CEL QUI obf Abd al-Rashid (5) CEL QUI obf Dorian Strack (4) cel AUS Colin Flynn (3) cel aus Zoë (3) cel obf aus Harika Guljan (3) QUI Harika Guljan (3) QUI Kanya Ahktar (2) cel CEL - 10 (4 at minor and 6 at superior) QUI - 8 (all at superior) AUS - 7 (5 at minor and 2 at superior) OBF - 4 (all at minor) THA - 4 (3 at minor and 1 at superior) Total Capacity of crypt: 58 Avarage Vamp Size: 4.83 Masters: 2x Dreams of the Sphinx 2x The Path of Blood 1x Fame 1x Market Square 1x The Barrens 4x Blood Doll 1x Tribute to the Master 1x Auspex 1x Celerity 2x Quietus Library: 2x Bang Nakh 2x IR Goggles 1x Kali's Fang 8x Computer Hackings or 8x Bums Rush or a mix 1x Magic of the Smith 3x Revelations 3x Scrying the Secrets 2x Foul Blood 2x Enhanced Senses 2x Precognition 2x Telepathic Misdirection 2x The Spirit's Touch 4x Forced Awakening 3x Lucky Blow 5x Taste of Death 5x Blood Sweat 5x Lightning Reflexes 2x Silence of Death 8x Rapid Thought 3x Pursuit 4x Psyche 5x Taste of Vitae Deck Comments: The main focus of the deck revolves around knowing what your opponents are going to play in a given situation. The Auspex cards of Revelations and Scrying the Secrets will allow you to see a bunch of cards at one time. If you can get both cards to kick off around each other you could potentially know the next 14 cards the opponent will use. That can be a huge advantage. When playing with the Assamites, you must make every strike count. And make sure that when you get a Revelations on the table to bargain with the other players to keep it out there. The other card that is key to the deck is the Rapid Thoughts when played at superior. This forces the opponent to play his strike first. Yes, I know this is not the best way around S:CE but it prevents you from playing a bunch of killer combat cards and then not even being able to hit for anything. The Lightning Reflexes are a way to smack Dodgers fairly easily with multiple strikes. I may not have gotten the right number of strikes to maneuvers and presses but I think I'm fairly close. You can change the Bum's Rushes and Computer Hacks quite easily depending on your playing environment. This may not be the best Assamite deck that I can build but it demonstrates that to be affective with the Assamites you are going to have to be creative. Coming in next month's issue: In the next newsletter, I will take a very detailed look at the Assamites in combat and show their strengths and weaknesses. We will see how they match up against other clans as well. The fiction section will continue the story of Thetmes and the new information gained by the Assamites. And in the deck idea for June, we will see how Contracts can be very deadly. I have a ton of ideas that I can not wait to share with you all about the Assamites. But if you have any ideas or decks that you would like to share with me, please drop me an email. I would love to see other's ideas with this clan. Until next month, Todd Banister Prince of Atlanta email@example.com

May 23, 2013 6:45 PM by Cameron Polom, KSBY News
A 14-year old in Santa Maria is charged with first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and gang enhancement charges.
He's the eleventh person charged by a Santa Maria grand jury in the death of Anthony Ibarra.
KSBY also learned on Thursday that Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley decided against the death penalty if the eleven are convicted.
Santa Maria police say Anthony Ibarra was tortured and killed inside his home on March 17, 2013.
Police were called to the home a day later but there was no body.
Police later located Ibarra's body inside a U-Haul truck near Orcutt.
According to District Attorney Joyce Dudley, the average death penalty case can take 17 years.
She says the penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole is a significant punishment and would allow this case to proceed more quickly, avoiding years of long and costly appeals.
On Tuesday a Santa Maria grand jury issued indictments for the eleven suspects connected to the murder of Anthony Ibarra.
"We firmly believe justice delayed is justice denied," said Dudley. "We want to move this case through, at the same time we want to make sure all defendants are adequately defended."
The youngest of those charged, Ramon Maldonado, Jr., is the grandson of David Maldonado and son of Ramon Maldonado, Sr., both also charged in the case.
The DA decided to charge the 14-year old as an adult based on the details of the investigation.
"There was certainly a connection here, many of the suspects and the victim have been involved with drug trades in the past," said Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin.
According to the original investigation, Ibarra's death involved the dealing of street drugs.
Since the murder, police have built their case using surveillance and connecting defendants to the incident based on cell phone records.
"This was a particularly brutal and heinous homicide, that didn't occur in a moment's notice, it was planned, it was drawn out, and there was torture involved," said Martin.
According to Martin, detectives spent more than 500 hours on the case within the first two weeks.
Seven defendants face the possibility of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Two defendants including the 14-year old face 25 years to life.
And two more face a maximum of 7 years and ten years.
All eleven suspects return to court for their arraignment on June 6.

The cover art for BTW Family Band's forthcoming LP Grace & Lies pointed toward the concept for this video for "Night Song" — singer Kim Krans, face in black and white and drawn all over. Kim's typical fine art takes a backseat to a "slideshow" of "these sort of stupid, crude images" which "was such a release for me," she told NPR. "The narrative started to take a weird, dark turn toward consumption and feeling generally overwhelmed with all the things we are supposed to be, have, do, look like, feel like." So it's a crude slideshow on the canvas of Kim Krans's statuesque face, and starkly effective for it. Watch:
Take it:
Grace & Lies is out 7/24 via No Quarter.
