A lot of people believe that dungeon finder has been the death of community in a lot of MMORPGs. They argue that dungeon finder has changed the dungeoning experience from being a social, tactical, and enjoyable experience to one that is just a speed-grinding treadmill where the only time anyone talks is to insult their group mates. And I do not deny at all that this is the state of many MMORPGs that have dungeon finder (WoW). I also agree that dungeon finder contributes to this issue by providing jerks anonymity.
But I ask this, is dungeon finder the problem, or is the problem that dungeons have become just too easy? Currently, most dungeons can be easily rolled through if each player knows the basics of how to play their class. Very little to no coordination is required, and this really gets rid of the need for players to talk at all. As such, most players take the path of least resistence and just plough through dungeons like silent zombies. I feel that this, not dungeon finder, is the main issue with dungeons and the deterioratin of the community.
In the old EQ days, running through a dungeon without communicating would have never worked. The fights were just too difficult, each player not only had to perform their role, but they had to perform it in a way that benefited the team. I think if they had dungeon finder in EQ, the community wouldn't be nearly as bad. Even jerks will be nice when they need to do so in order to succeed.

RIP City of Heroes!
It's a symptom of the must have it now community. Don't like random numbers->badges, get enough badges->gear, now I need to make lots of 15 minutes of less instances run but I can't get a group -> Dungeon Finder.

Dungeon Finder is not the problem that kills communities.
Dungeon Finder is a solution implemented in games where communities are dead or don't exist, because if they did exist, dungeon finder wouldn't have been needed.

you join up w strangers for 20-30 minutes then disband to probably never see those people again
in everquest, id often be in the same group of people for HOURS
and they were always from my same server -- so I would probably see them again even if the adventure lasted 1 hour
there was nothing challenging about Lost Dungeons of Norrath -- when EQ had cookie cutter instances
When you have people running dungeons they don't care about or don't need loot from every day in order to get some badges, then it's a chore. People don't want to do daily chores, they want to get them over with.
I don't long for the return of contested dungeons and camping one spot, but I do believe you need downtime to talk. If there's no downtime, then you spend the whole time chasing after the tank.
Dungeon finder adds an extra disincentive to talk because if the people aren't even on your server and you're never going to see them again then what's the point.

It seems to me that the dungeon finder was designed to fix a problem. Grouping.
Even on these boards you can see well one really long consolidated thread talking about how to encourange more grouping. People talk about more xp, more loot...
I have always contended that grouping has this. Groups get more xp per mob than solo because they can take tougher mobs, they get more loot and and more coin. Therefore all the rewards are for grouping
People counter that by saying no, questing gets more. Well guess what, groups can run quests - therefore they still get the quest rewards and can take the harder mobs. Heck even in WoW they have the quest givers right at the dungeons for the groups to grab.
But despite these perks many still don't group? Why? Because it's a pain in the ass. Forming a group, waiting for everyone to decide on a task, get there then fight. Serious waste of my entertainment time.
So how do you eliminate the tedium of finding the group. Most games have an LfG channgel, of social pane - that doesn't seem to do it.
Bingo - dungeon finder
Now people get groups bascially whenever they want.
And now people complain about that.
The problem is not the dungeon finder, the problem is the same issue it has always been - finding groups are a pain in the ass. Dungeon finder didn't eliminate or IMO encourange the jerks, bad players out there, they were always there which is one reason why pug groups have usually ended up sucking so bad. Dungeon finder just eliminated the pain of getting a group.
The problems with groups are still there - the people are the problem.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

Yeah this is kind of what I'm getting at. I like the idea of dungeon finder because I typically don't have enough time to find a PUG group, walk to the dungeon, pray that no one leaves and go through the dungeon. Dungeon finder actually makes dungeons accessible to people like me that maybe can't play for 5 hours in a row.
At the same time though, I don't enjoy the fact that dungeons have become so ridiculously easy that you can just blaze through them without even really paying attention.

In my opinion, the communities of most online RPGs became stale and unresponsive long long before the streamlined LFG tool that is the Dungeon Finder. I'm not sure if the developers were just giving players what they asked for or if they were able to brainwash the players into the type of self-gratifying gameplay that is so prevalent today. Hopefully a game can come out and figure out a way to get players to give a shit about people other than themselves again.

The biggest flaw of the dungeon finder is not that it kills community, but rather it makes the game diminish into a lobby in which you stand there doing nothing, chatting away the time, while you wait for the queue to pop. The world outside the main city walls becomes an empty place reserved solely for those first few weeks when you're leveling up. Couple that with flying mounts, and the world outside city walls suddenly becomes a barren place.

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their own opinions. Pvbs 18:2, NIV
I was originally opposed to the dungeon finder but after experiencing Cataclysm and most recently Rift, I've seen how lifeless modern MMO end game has become and it is really just a tool that rose up to help players get past the frustrating boredom they face.
The game's are designed all wrong, and therefore DF is the best solution to the problem. So no harm, no foul in these situations.
In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.

One problem gets solved and another pops up. I know in WoW they are talking abut cross server dungeon groups. They already impemented a cross server friends list.
The purpose of this up coming feature is so if you have friends on a different server you can group with them. But every now and then you find a group of people you like. The dungeon is fun because everyone is getting a long and making jokes and having a good time (I have had this expirience leveling more than in the lvl 85 dungeons)
As a result you could put them on your friends list and then do dungeons with them even though they are on a different server.
But the new problem is that in order to put them on your friends list when you are on a different server you have to give them your e-mail address. This is a problem, giving a stranger your e-mail adress doesn't appeal to some people.
Anyway, the ability to do cross server dungeon groups hasn't been implemented yet, but it will be interesting to see if people in dungeons make friends again, once it is.

Dungeon Finder is what made WoW fun again for me. For raids and pvp, I have a guild that I'm friends with. But when they are not on and I just want to get into a dungeon, its soooo nice not to have to sit around in one of the major cities and yell "HEALZ LFG FOR XXX".
So is dungeon finder a problem? I say not at all. Some people want to be loners and will obviously use the dungeon finder exclusively, which is not a bad thing, its just the way they like to play.
IMHO, guilds are the core of the game. With all of the new features added with Cataclysm, guilds are now more important than ever.

There is a big chance u ll end up with a group of morons, that will ruin your experiance. I play games to enjoy them but LFG made my game experiance in WoW beyond terrible. I have encoutered so many ass#$%s, morons, idiots, elitist jerks, "experts" and god know what else.
If he stays I go...
If u cant regenerate mana faster then dont heal...
Ok, i m expert my guild finished IC, all listen to me, or else I go(i mean who havent finish IC)

Dungeon finder is not a problem, it's really a great tool. Now I don't have to sit in a city watching gold spam and people talking about nothing at all. If I do happen to see someone needing more I'll usually join that but I'd much rather queue up and wait.

Content becomes too easy ---> You can skip most of the dungeons ---> Those dungeons become deserted ---> Dungeon Finder.
This is how I see it. So, a dungeon finder is not the problem, but a desperate try to fix what broke down when devs make their game easier.
LFG tool is handy if there's no x-realm grouping or insta teleporting; LFD tool is not, since it makes an MMO a lobby based action game.

The fact that the dungeon finder (implemented the way a dungeon finder should be) is only on World of Warcraft really doesn't speak well for gauging how it affects the community. WoW was notorious for its awful community even before Burning Crusade was released -- a fact which people seem to easily forget. The problem is that Blizzard has simply given an already rotten community even more tools to be even more rotten. Personally, I feel that such issues are often overstated, as the worst problems I have are rude group-mates and players who run through the instance having no idea what they're doing, which again, are all issues that WoW was always notorious for. Another issue is the prevalence of players who leave the group after the first wipe. It's annoying, but I can't say it matters too much given how quickly a replacement is found. If a member were to drop the party in a game without the dungeon finder, that would, in all likelihood signal the end fo the group. Even so, Who is to say a game like Rift, Everquest II, or LoTRO would have the same problems as they have much more mature communities?
Additionally, as I said once before, it's not the heroic runs that build communities nor is it the grind to the level cap -- a process largely done without interacting with other players. Whether you agree with this analysis or not, players in WoW and games like it largely see all parts of the game aside from the endgame to be mere practice for the "good stuff." Raiding is when you join a guild or a PUG with 9 or 24 other players, and you make an impression on them based on your performance. If you continuously do well, expect to be invited to more raids. The officers and such will grow to depend on you, and they will recommend you to their friends, and you'll gain a reputation and an attachment to the server as you progress through the endgame contennt. In that sense, I find it silly to say the dungeon finder ruins the community.
Another issue is that players clame the dungeon finder turns games into lobby based online RPGs. Well, I know I personally quest while queued for a dungeon (before I hit the level cap), and all my friends do the same. Granted, I don't see a truckload of players in the zones that I go through, but then again, I never did anyway. WoW is an old game. Most players have at least one toon at the level cap and have had it there for quite some time, so I think it's understandable why they don't want to run the same solo quests over and over again. At least running dungeons prepares players for how to operate their class in a group and raid environment. What it really boils down to is the fact that a lot of players just don't find the questing all that fun, so why should they be forced into conforming to a specific gaming style if they enjoy running dungeons more? Dungeon running shouldn't affect the "solo" questing of another player, so why can't people be allowed to play the game how they want to play it?
Secondly, the reason a dungeon finder is needed, and the reason I liked WoTLK so much more than Cataclysm is simply because games like Rift and WoW force players to run these dungeons over and over and over and over in order to purchase the gear that they need. It's a bad design philosphy. I should not have to run the same set of dungeons five times a day for weeks just to get enough gear so that I can begin raiding. The first couple of times are fun while I'm learning the fight mechanics for the bosses, but after that, it's just mindless repetition and annoyance. When it gets to the point of mindless repetition, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in taking two hours to run a dungeon. I'm not interested in kiting, I'm not interested in crowd control. I just want the tank to grab a truckload of enemies so that we DPS classes can burn them down. The dungeon finder simply speeds up the dungeon running process. That's why I thought WoTLK worked. WoTLK felt like the devs actually admitted to the fact that WoW was just a giant gear treadmill and that they had accomodated for it. Cataclysm heroics are an absolute mess as even now, 6 months after release, I'm constantly in fail group after fail group with people who simply don't understand the fight mechanics. Of course, I don't blame them really. Blizzard has designed World of Warcraft to be nearly unplayable without visiting outside websites to learn fight mechanics. In the end, I suppose that just makes them bad players, but I don't care. I just want my valor points and boss drops, so that I can start raiding again.
TL;DR version: The dungeon finder does not destroy communities because the one game in which it is implemented properly already had a reportedly awful community. The dungeon finder is needed only because games like WoW fascilate this need with their endless treadmill gear grind of repetition, and the community of WoW and games like it is more affected by the age of its average playerbase and by the fact that players rarely, if ever, have little reason to interact with one another while undergoing the leveling process.

The only thing wrong with dungeon finder is the inability to befriend/guild/interact with the players after the dungeon.
Apart from that, it's probably the best feature a group-based game can have. Seriously.

by David E. Fishman
A reprint of the original 1996 publication in English and Yiddish, updated and with an Appendix of Documents (English only). Embers Plucked from the Fire tells the compelling and miraculous story of the rescue of rare books and manuscripts from YIVO and other institutions in Vilna.

The newly added Appendix to this edition provides further details of these labors as well as the effort to establish a Vilna Jewish Museum to house these and other materials after the war.
|Copies of this 80-page book may be purchased for $15.00 at the Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Bookstore at the Center for Jewish History (917-606-8220).

EAST BEND - After a tough 11-3 loss to Davie on March 15, Forbush's first-year head coach Denny Key refocused his club.
The Falcons responded in a big way, routing local rivals Starmount and Elkin in a back-to-back game last week in front of the home crowd.
"We lost a tough game to Davie, and the boys got down a little bit. We had a little refocus chat and they picked it back up and got their heads together," Key explained. We've been working a lot on the mental aspect of the game.
"They are use to having success around here. I want to make sure we continue that and do it the right way. Some of it is them getting used to me and me getting used to them. I think we have the potential to be a really solid baseball team," he added.
Against county rival Starmount, the Falcons racked up nine runs in the first three innings en route to a dominating 13-3 mercy-rule victory.
Barrett Hennings highlighted the strong start with a bases-clearing triple in the third to push the advantage out to 9-2.
In the fifth, Forbush pushed the Rams to the brink of the mercy rule when Ben Temple plated a pair of runs on a bases-loaded single to left, extending the lead out to 11-2.
Starmount fought back in the sixth to add on a run when Samuel Stone scored Ben Combs on an infield single to short to cut the deficit to 11-3.
But the Falcons put the finishing touches on the win in the home-half of the sixth on a Bryson Lee RBI double off the center-field wall. Lee came home to score on a throwing error to third, allowing the game-winning run to cross the plate.
"Tonight was as complete of a game we've played all season," Key said. "We hit the ball well and had a good approach at the plate. We were aggressive, and that's something we've been focusing on, swinging the bat instead of watching. I was proud of the way they responded."
Brad Dzeskewicz picked up the win with four solid innings on the mound, allowing two runs, while striking out six.
Forbush followed the Unifi Bowl victory with another mercy-rule triumph over Elkin Friday night, cruising to the 12-2 win.
The Falcons jumped ahead just two batters into the game when Carson Fulp brought home Bryson Lee on a double to center. After back-to-back errors in the infield loaded the bases, Austin Levengood plated a pair of runs to extend the lead out to 3-0.
Lee and Fulp pushed the lead to 5-0 on back-to-back run-scoring hits in the second.
"That was a strange game," Key said. "Mason Doub made some pitches when he had to and kept things from blowing up on us. And I was very pleased with our hitting approach; we are getting a little more aggressive as we go.
"We are playing pretty baseball now, instead of that ugly stuff that gives me heartburn," he added.
Despite their recent roll (25 runs on 24 hits in their last two games), Key knows the team is "only as good as their last one" as they take on Alleghany and Wilkes Central this week.
"We've played real well these past couple games. But these two games are done - we are only as good as our last one. We need to make sure we're good after the Alleghany game and the Wilkes Central game," he said.

Vt. rec path revived 2 yearsMay 25,2013COLCHESTER — Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and fishermen.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchester's Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
The Burlington Free Press reported that restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from federal funds and 15 percent came from the state. The remaining 10 percent came largely from Burlington-based nonprofit Local Motion, and from an anonymous donorMORE IN This Just InFarmer Olympics Full StoryBROC receives Full StoryArt donated Full Story

This quilt was made almost exactly like this one. Except the quilting and this has a cotton back. I love this quilt all crinkly with the free motion quilting.
This one is also in the shop. After this I'm taking a break from making things for the shop. It's always fun, but its more fun to make things I know are going to stay in my home for us to use and look at everyday. Plus next week I'm headed off to Seattle (home) for a few weeks, so it will be a nice chance to start a new project or two while my little man is in Grandparent heaven.

- Marshal.dump oddity: Marshal.dump is squirrelly with ActiveRecord objects in Rails. If you dump multiple AR instances that represent the same entity but have different in memory states, the serialization will basically "collapse" those two instances to a single instance. This means you'll lose changes to one of the instances. Anyone out there know why?
- Disabling system pagefile in XP on Parallels: If you disable the Page File in XP it will run super fast in Parallels. This makes sense when you think about it; there are two operating systems on the machine that are trying to manage memory. Both swapping out to disk. Assuming the XP instance has enough RAM (and you're not running that many processes), turn off paging in XP for a big speed boost.

Thank you for that beautiful reminder Sarah. I was listening to NPR last night and they did this story about how Hollywood actors and agents use gifts as a way to gauge their importance to the movie studios. In the end, they sullied the meaning of the holidays by turning it into one giant bribefest. Your message is important but too often forgotten.
Quick Notes: Saving on the Holidays
It's that time of year again.
The time of year when I alternate between being over-the-top excited about whichever amazing gift I'd love to buy because it's Just Absolutely Perfect for Someone, and being in the depths of hopeless despair because there's no way I can afford ONE of whatever item I want to purchase, let alone something that nice for everyone on my list.
But I will not fear, for truly there is an answer to my dilemma. At Christmas, more than any other time of the year, it truly is the thought that counts, though we all know that simply thinking of a person is never enough. A savvy gift-giver realizes that a small, personalized gift that says "I was thinking about you, I know you well, and I care," has greater value than a large gift that says "I want you to like me. I want to be acceptable to you," or even, "I want to pacify you." If you can give a large gift, you are free to do so. If you can't give one, you don't have to. Think of your recipient, care for them and then, whatever you give, give freely.

KOUNTZE, Texas - - A southeast Texas school board listened to public comments on its decision to bar high school cheerleaders from displaying religious messages on banners at sporting events.
The Kountze Independent School District board listened to comments for about 1½ hours Tuesday night. KFDM-TV of Beaumont reports 16 spoke for lifting the ban while only one spoke against repeal.
The board took no action and scheduled none but said it would take written comments for another 10 days.
The district implemented the ban last year after a complaint by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which is dedicated to the church-state separation. Cheerleaders and the state attorney general contend that the ban violates the students' free speech rights, and a judge blocked the ban pending resolution of a foundation lawsuit.

File transfer is an integral part of business, but it can often pose a challenge. Employees constantly share files with coworkers and clients. Anyone who has tried to send large email attachments knows that errors often occur. Email clients are just not meant to handle big files. FTP sites make it easier to send large files but do not provide sufficient security for confidential information. Like FTP, many consumer-grade solutions offer the ability to transfer big files but ignore proper security measures. Businesses need a solution that allows them to quickly and securely transfer files.
Citrix ShareFile is an easy file transfer solution that lets businesses exchange files up to 10 GB with coworkers and clients quickly and securely. Instead of relying on antiquated file sharing methods like email and FTP, ShareFile provides a user-friendly portal that is easily accessible from multiple devices. The ShareFile web-based portal, plugin for Microsoft Outlook and desktop sync capabilities give the user flexibility for transferring files. ShareFile uses state-of-the-art datacenters to store and transmit your data, ensuring the security of confidential information.
File transfer doesn't have to be a challenge. Sign up today for a free 30-day trial to begin transferring files the smart way.

Bryan Police visited the same apartment four times Wednesday night into Thursday morning after a man kept calling Brazos County 9-1-1.
According to the police report, 52-year-old William Lee Burkhalter first called 9-1-1 just after 8:30 Wednesday night. Burkhalter told cops that a neighbor kept knocking on his door.
He called another three times. Officers told Burkhalter not to call 9-1-1 unless it was an emergency and gave him the non-emergency number.
On the fourth visit, officers arrested Burkhalter for harrasment. They also checked with the next door neighbor. Both were intoxicated. Property management said Burkhalter and the neighbor knew each other and had been going back and forth to each apartment all night.
Burkhalter is in the Brazos County jail under $2,000 bond.

Luke and brez (his straight mate from work) are off on their camping trip in the wilds of dartmoor. They pitch their tent over a couple of beers and decide to take a nap - but luke's got a thing for straight cock and begins his game. It's a typical "my cock's bigger than yours" ploy and brez falls for it hook, line and sinker! Getting their dicks up to full mast, luke reaches across with his measurement and places his hand on brez's cock... Brez doesn't seem too fazed and soon luke's asking if he can properly touch it. Brez agrees and soon takes a hold of luke's hard cock and begins jerking his foreskin up and down too. As the heat rises luke pulls out some lube and coats both uncut dicks with the slippery stuff and boy, brez sure loves it! Finally getting his way, luke gets brez kneeling up and puts their cocks together and begins sliding them in unison in his hand. The frottage is so hot that brez needs to cum real quick ;-)

Cardiff, Hull City, Watford and Derby among weekend winners
Cardiff pulled 10 points clear at the top of the table, while Alex McLeish endured an afternoon to forget on his return to Birmingham.
Elsewhere, Hull City closed back in on the automatic promotion places, Crystal Palace tasted derby success, Middlesbrough came unstuck again and Peterborough remain rooted to the foot of the table.
Cardiff took another positive step towards the Premier League on Saturday, with a solitary effort from Fraizer Campbell enough to see them edge out Leeds at Elland Road.
Click below for individual match reports and stats:Birmingham 2 Forest 1
Blackburn 2 Bristol City 0
Blackpool 1 Barnsley 2
Crystal Palace 2 Charlton 1
Derby 3 Huddersfield 0
Ipswich 4 Middlesbrough 0
Leeds 0 Cardiff 1
Millwall 0 Hull City 1
Peterborough 2 Burnley 2
Sheff Wednesday 3 Brighton 1
Watford 2 Bolton 1
Hull City are now level on points with second-placed Leicester following a 1-0 victory over Millwall, with David Meyler's first-minute effort settling the tie.
Watford are also in the hunt for a top-two finish, with Gianfranco Zola's side recovering well from falling behind to a penalty from Hornets old boy Marvin Sordell to claim a 2-1 win over Bolton.
Middlesbrough's promotion push has come off the rails in dramatic fashion, with a 4-0 defeat to lowly Ipswich seeing Tony Mowbray's men suffer a fourth straight setback.
Brighton missed the chance to close the gap on Boro as they went down 3-1 at Sheffield Wednesday, with Ashley Barnes seeing red at Hillsborough.
Crystal Palace remain inside the top six and picked up their first win in four as Glenn Murray netted twice in the space of four second-half minutes to secure derby spoils for the Eagles in a clash with capital rivals Charlton.
Alex McLeish took Nottingham Forest to his former employers Birmingham, but saw Chris Burke - a man he tried to sign during the January transfer window - net twice at St Andrew's to send him home empty-handed.
Deadly double
A deadly double from Jordan Rhodes saw Blackburn deny Bristol City a third win on the bounce, with Rovers prevailing 2-0 at Ewood Park.
Derby secured just their second win in seven outings as they found their scoring boots in a home date with Huddersfield, with Craig Bryson, Jamie Ward and Richard Keogh on target in a 3-0 success.
Barnsley offered their survival bid another welcome shot in the arm, with Jason Scotland stepping off the bench to grab an 88th-minute winner for the Tykes as they overcame 10-man Blackpool 2-1.
Finally, Peterborough came within five minutes of moving off the bottom, but saw Martin Paterson snatch a late equaliser for Burnley in a 2-2 draw.

Correction: The Shamash
The Hanukka lights are sacred. Their sole purpose must be to commemorate the miracle, and thus we are not permitted to make any use of them or derive any benefit from them "lest one slight the mitsva." The shamash is an additional, non-sacred, usable light placed near the Hanukka lights. Its purpose is to serve as a precaution against inadvertent use of the Hanukka lights: Any such incidental use of light in the area of the hanukkiya can be credited to the nearby shamash. Further, if there is a "blazing hearth filre" in the room, a shamash is not required, as it is clear that the light being used to see is not the menorah lights! (Talmud Shabbat 21b; Shulhan Arukh, Mishna Brura, and Beur Halakha, Orah Hayyim 671:5, 673:1). Thus, the real purpose of the shamash is not--as is commonly believed-- to light the other lights. Indeed, according to halacha (Jewish law), literally anything may be used for this purpose!

An FTP client is cumbersome and confusing to new users, but many companies still use FTP to transfer files with their clients and vendors. In addition to requiring that every single person connecting to the FTP server download and install a client, these companies must maintain the server itself, tying up IT and financial resources that could serve a better purpose elsewhere in their organization. These drawbacks have led businesses to look for more efficient, user-friendly solutions.
Citrix ShareFile is a web-based, easy-to-use tool for sharing files up to 10 GB. With no required software to download or need to set up an FTP server, you can start using ShareFile right away. Clients love transferring files through a simple online interface that they can access from any computer or mobile device, anywhere. Administrators love advanced tracking features and settings that help them maintain total control over company data.

2009 Dr. Crane
88 pts from Wine Advocate, 90 pts from Wine Spectator, 95 pts from Wine Enthusiast, LIMITED RELEASE- Also available in LARGE format bottles
In Stock
Our Dr. Crane Vineyard designate Cabernet radiates a beautiful opulent violet hue. This wine bursts out of the glass with ripe cherries, plum, blackberry jam; whispers of hibiscus and pomegranate nectar exhibiting great barrel warmth. Unfolds with subtle expressions of its' terrior, the rocky silt-clay soil in which the roots are anchored. Displaying a rich texture, the tannins give the sensation of many small stones compacted on the palate. Black fruit and cola flavors build over time with each sip. The perfectly balanced acidity makes this wine great for food pairing and longevity. There is great harmony in this age-worthy wine that will survive decades.

Prison Fellowship International, a worldwide Christian-based organization, presented the angel tree program, asking local churches to donate Christmas gifts.
PFI assigned 22 area children, ages 1 to 11, with incarcerated parents. Each child's name, age and sex appeared on angel ornaments hanging from several Christmas trees within the church.
Throughout December, church members selected an angel ornament and bought some 80 gifts.
The response impressed program coordinator Maria Salazar.
"This church did more than was asked for," Salazar said. "We actually had people asking if there were more children to buy presents for. We simply (said) there wasn't."
"We had more people wanting to buy gifts than we had children to distribute to," the Rev. Lisa Ausley said.
The church invited the children and their legal guardians to a Christmas party to distribute the gifts. Each child also received a PFI-donated Bible designed for children 7-15 with incarcerated parents.
The church will continue to reach out to these families after the holidays, Salazar said.
"We have invited the families to our church and we will stay in contact with them throughout the year," she said, noting plans for birthday and other holiday cards.
"We just want them to know, that we are still here for them," Salazar said.
"Were hoping to make lasting connections with these families and have the opportunity to minister to them," Ausley said.

Coronation Street star and father-of-two Charlie Condou has joined Stonewall to mark Father's Day by judging a social media competition to celebrate fatherhood. Stonewall's 'Thanks, Dad!' competition asked lesbian, gay and bisexual people and their dads to share positive stories about fatherhood. Today Charlie Condou and Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill selected the winning story, from Twitter user Sibster008, who wins a 'Day out with Dad' courtesy of London's Madame Tussauds.
The winning tweet read: 'Thanks Dad for telling me that my crush on Sigourney Weaver was just one more thing we had in common! Legend.'
Charlie Condou said: 'Until recently many gay men will have grown up thinking fatherhood was something they'd never experience. As a dad of two young kids, I know that parenting is parenting, regardless of sexuality. I love being a dad, and I'm immensely grateful that today nobody has to feel like the door to family life is closed to them.'
Ben Summerskill said: 'Supportive parents give young people the best start in life. That's why Stonewall has campaigned so hard to make sure mums and dads are afforded real dignity and respect whatever their sexual orientation.'
Stonewall's Guide for Gay Dads provides practical advice for gay couples who wish to bring up children. The charity plans to launch a campaign to celebrate mums before Mothering Sunday next year.
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

His style is renowned. His talent is unmatched. Eddie Van Halen is arguably one of the most influential rock guitarist of the 21st century. Regardless of your own musical tastes, it simply can't be ignored that he inspired millions of kids to pick up the guitar. With a respect and reputation as strong as Eddie Van Halen's, it only makes sense that he would start his own guitar line. And that's exactly what he did. EVH guitars are everything you'd expect from a man who knows guitars and amps better than anyone else in the business.
If you're a fan of Van Halen, EVH guitars and amps will be more than recognizable, both in appearance and how they sound. In fact, every piece of EVH equipment that's constructed must meet the exact specifications of Eddie Van Halen, so you can be sure that the gear you're purchasing is of the highest standard in quality. Throughout the EVH catalog, you'll discover cabinets, footswitches, pickups, tube heads, and of course guitars containing the many stylish paint jobs popularized by the man himself.

Alana Cordy-Collins, PhD
Professor, Anthropology
Curatorial Director, David W. May American Indian Collection & Gallery
Alana Cordy-Collins, PhD, joined the USD faculty in 1980. She is a professor of Anthropology and director of the David W. May American Indian Collection and Gallery. In the Department of Anthropology, Cordy-Collins offers undergraduate courses in archaeology, shamanism, research, writing, and museology. Her research focus is the prehistoric cultures of Peru, especially the Lambayeque, Moche, and Chavín-Cupisnique. She is currently most involved in comparative studies of shamanism, especially among Circum-Polar peoples, prehistoric and contemporary. Dr. Cordy-Collins has been awarded two USD University Professorships, one research-based and the other recognition-based. She designed and organized the university's American Indian Celebration (2002-2004).
PhD, University of California, Los Angeles; Archaeology
MA, University of California, Los Angeles; Archaeology
BA, University of California, Los Angeles; Art History
Scholarly and Creative Work
Cordy-Collins' primary research focuses on the prehistoric peoples of the Peruvian north coast, drawing on almost 40 years of archaeological experience. Her continuing research, The Moche Giants of Ancient Peru, investigates a group of elite men from the 4th c CE whose physical condition makes them the first giants recorded in the Americas. Cordy-Collins has edited more than half-a-dozen books, and authored more than 35 articles and book chapters. Her most recent publications are "The Sacred Deer Complex: Out of Eurasia" (with former students Rebekah Shepherd, Abigail Jasper, Lynn Shepard, Maria Donnelly, and Elizabeth Gordon) in Adventures in Pre-Columbian Studies: Illuminating the Past and Imagining the Future: A Symposium in Honor of Elizabeth P. Benson, J. Jones (ed.): 136-156. Pre-Columbian Society of Washington, D.C. (2010); "Curated Corpses and Scattered Skeletons: New Data and New Questions concerning the Moche Dead" in Andean Civilization: A Tribute to Michael E. Moseley, J. Marcus and P.R. Williams (eds.): 181-193. Cotsen Institute for Archaeology, University of California, Los Angeles (2009). An extension of her Andean research entails prehistoric contact between Peruvians and Mesoamericans. Her article "The Northern Moche World at the Beginning of the Eighth Century and the Role of the Jequetepeque Valley," for Advances in North Coast Archaeology: State and Empire in the Jequetepeque Valley, I. Johnson and C. Donnelly (eds.) discusses the evidence (in press).
Teaching Interests
Cordy-Collins has taught a variety of courses at USD, including Introduction to Archaeology, as well as upper-division courses concerned with prehistoric Americans, museology, shamanism and creativity, and applied anthropology. In addition to teaching departmental classes, Cordy-Collins has participated in team-taught, interdisciplinary freshmen seminars on Latino Studies and New World cultures.

For years I've subscribed to M-W's "word of the day." I love learning new words (even if I don't use them very often), and I thought it might be fun to "share" new or favorite words with my fellow SKMB mates. There are a lot of words in SK's books that could use a good "looking up" by me too!
Piebald: adjective
"composed of incongruous parts; of different colors ; especially : spotted or blotched with black and white." (M-W Online Dictionary.)


text: I watched the 1962 version of Mutiny on the Bounty. I've heard lots of bad reviews of the movie, but I really ended up enjoying it. Of course, I've never seen any of the other versions of this story so I can't say if this is better or worse than the famous 1935 version. But then I'm not too concerned if it is or isn't. The 1962 version is a good movie in its own right.
