What I Do
1. Strategy Consulting
I help businesses plan their next move and turn blurry or crazy ideas into real objectives. Sometimes, all you need to succeed, is someone with the experience, know-how and vision, to show you the right way.
2. Project Management
Without the right team, skills and organization, even the greatest ideas will fail. If you have a project, but not the resources, or if you need a specialized team to do the job and someone to manage it, it's your lucky day.
3. Development
I specialize in all things WordPress but anything that is Web based, an app, a store, a custom corporate platform or your next super-awesome idea, it can be done, from concept to deployment. Easy-peasy.

Artist Statement
"It has been said that a picture can tell a thousand words. Through art a story can be told, specific details can be shared, and emotions may even be conveyed. In my work I try to express how I perceive the environment around me; a friend, yesterday's sunset, a dish on the table, etc. My hope is that the moments I share create a sense of peace to the viewer – a peace worth remembering." Stacey Evangelista
Artist Bio
Stacey Evangelista resides in Sioux Falls, SD. Her studio is located downtown Sioux Falls at 8th & Railroad. Drawing since the age of 4, she has steadily been developing her skills as an artist. Today her subjects are primarily the human figure, but not limited to. In 2010 Ms. Evangelista had her first solo-show at the Washington Pavilion, Visual Arts Center.
"…her work reveals a sophisticated understanding of painterly expression and a deep appreciation of art history… Through dedicated practice and independent exploration of the sheer pleasure, beauty and power of painting, she has transformed her natural talent into a facility with paint that allows her to quickly and solidly render the subjects before her with decisive energy and diverse techniques."

Current Projects
Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux
The focus of this project is to create a series of sketches, watercolors, and oil paintings which will express and best depict the current culture of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Reservation. The body of work will convey the Tribe's apparent needs, achievements, heritage, and hopes. Long term goals for this project are as follows; 1.To setup a traveling exhibit for the artwork, 2. Evaluate the success and likelihood of covering another Tribe or all Tribes in the State of SD (potentially a 20 year project). Stacey was born on the Reservation; her father is a member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe.
The Portrait Session
Beginning in January of 2011, artists are invited to gather at Ms. Evangelista's studio on a regular basis for an hour of Study.
The subjects are the artists themselves, and anyone willing to participate.
Each artist must be willing to pose for 10 to 20 minutes. The hour is meant to provide artists with reference material (whether sketches or photographs).
The Figure Sketch
Stacey Evangelista's Figure Sketch Project began in the year 2007 when she first began attending regular figure drawing sessions. The project consists of a timeline of figure drawings by Stacey in various mediums. The drawings show gradual changes in skill; use of color, rendering speed, and a growing familiarity with different tools and media. This collection is a gauge by which Ms. Evangelista evaluates her own struggles and abilities.

Many things in life contribute to the addition of stretch marks to the female body, such as growth spurts, weight gain, weight loss, puberty etc. But one major life-event that can almost guarantee to leave its mark on your precious skin - pregnancy! Stretch marks also happen to be amongst the leading list of items that women dislike about their bodies.
Facing the Truth
Unfortunately, even with all of the beauty creams, laser treatments and special oils out on the market or at the drugstore, there still has yet to be a remedy that removes them completely. However all is not lost in the beauty world, and even though a cure does not yet exist, there are still several things you can do to reduce their appearance greatly.
First and foremost the greatest piece of advice is to stop comparing yourself to the unrealistic bodies that are portrayed on beauty magazines. Women's skin in particular is airbrushed to within an inch of it's life on magazine covers, after all. The sooner you can come to terms with your imperfections, the quicker you can look past them and see your worth without perfection.
Every single human on the planet has insecurities about who they are and how they look physically, so don't hide who you are in a brown paper bag. Accept yourself as is and bask in the uniqueness of who you, are because if you can't do that, no amount of beauty tips or treatments will make you feel any more beautiful.
The Importance of Water
The first step in reducing the appearance of the stretch marks on your body is to start with your diet. Now I am not going to give you a list of foods that you should and shouldn't eat. It's much more simple then that.
All you need to start doing is watch your intake of water. If you are not drinking the recommended 8-10 glasses a day, then you need to start now. Water is the easiest natural resource to come across and yet so few of us actually use it to our benefit. Don't just drink water just when you are thirsty. If you have hit that point then you are already dehydrated. Keeping your body well hydrated will do wonders to your skin.
Drink above and beyond what's the acceptable limit and watch how your body purges itself of impurities by simply flushing them out. Your skin shouldn't be dry or ashy if you drink enough water - it should glow and radiate without hundreds of dollars invested in beauty treatments. Water will help accomplish this no matter what your skin type is.
Creams and Lotions
Next there are several things you can do with the topical application of creams and lotions. The most popular product on the market today that claims to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks is Mederma. Don't however think you need to spend the pretty penny that such a product costs. Look around at your local stores and find the non-name-brand items that are featured around Mederma. The cost of these products can be significantly less then the name-brand products and more often then not produce the same results.
Check the active ingredients in them and compare the labels to see that they are fairly similar. Also look for creams that contain green tea as it has known natural healing agents, which is also present in Shea Butter. You can also get similar results with going with the less concentrated lotions instead of the expensive creams. But these lotions tend to require more applications and take a longer span of time to produce visible results.
Vitamin E Therapy
Another form of stretch mark reduction therapy is found in the use of vitamin E. It is fairly inexpensive and can be found at any supermarket or drugstore. You can buy the gel capsules and either break them and apply the vitamin E directly to the affected area, or take them orally and absorb their benefits internally. Both have been discovered to aid in the appearance of stretch marks.
Exercise Your Imperfections Away
Now a more complex and generally time-consuming recommendation is to increase your daily form of exercise. This works on several levels. First, exercise will increase your daily rush of endorphins and thus make you feel better about yourself overall even without directly affecting the visual aspect of your stretchmarks.
Secondly, its an obvious aid in weight loss and this not only increases your self esteem, but in most people it will also reduce the appearance of the stretchmarks as well. However, in some cases of extreme weight loss it can momentarily or permanently increase the appearance of stretchmarks depending upon the severity of change.
Tanning Wonders
Lastly, the easiest and quickest (if temporary) fix to reduce the appearance of stretchmarks is to head to your local tanning salon and treat yourself to a sunless spray tan. However, do not partake in the UV tanning beds. These may make you think that you are getting a more permanent form of reducing the appearance of your stretchmarks, but in truth you are only permanently damaging your skin and increasing the speed at which it ages. Both of these things will make your stretch marks physically worse over time rather than better.
Stick with the spray tan. Even though its not permanent and can be costly it will give you a wonderful all over glow, and while it lasts will make you almost forget you ever had stretchmarks in the first place. Great for weddings, honeymoons and college reunions!

President's Message
Welcome to the website of Indian Menopause Society (IMS)
The vibrant organisation Indian Menopause Society was formed in year 1995 with a mission to provide care, cure & comfort to menopausal women of the country with multidisciplinary approach to provide academic excellence among members of IMS and increase awareness among matured women of our country.
As president of Indian menopause society, an organisation of more than 2500 members, spread across 40 chapters throughout the country, I shall endeavour to take the mission of IMS, which is to serve women of midlife and beyond, to greater heights . It stands tall today because, successive presidents starting from founder president Dr. Rama Vaidya, Dr. Urvashi Jha, Dr. Asha Kapadia, Dr. Behram Anklesaria, Dr. Sonia Mallick, Dr. Sunila Khandelwal, Dr. Atul Munshi,, Dr. Saroj Srivastava, Dr. Meeta Singh, Dr. Jyoti Unni and Dr. Maninder Ahuja have enriched this academic body with their mission, vision & action.
The thrust will be on strengthening the 3 pillars of the organisation, which are, academic activities, service to society, and fellowship among IMS members, from all walks of life.
Team 2015, has envisaged zonal continued medical education programmes and skill development programmes. Surgical skill development being of paramount importance, programmes in that direction were being conducted since 2004 both in FOGSI and IMS. This year we would like to conduct the programme in chapters where it has not been conducted before. We have taken up Vaginal hysterectomy and, Urogyanecology. Dr.Mrityunjay Mohapatra and Dr. Vineet Mishra, will be the national coordinators for these workshops. We shall add Gyn Encoscopy and oncology workshops in some places this year.
In liason with Torrent pharma, we are planning to conduct 25 CMEs on Perimenopausal Bleeding and their management with practical tips & tricks to practicing gynaecologists. Initial plan is to have 25 CMEs, and as required, the CME's may be extended to all chapters.
In liason with Abbot pharma, IMS. Abbot CME on MHT will be organised in various places, in a new format and module, being co-ordinated by Dr.Jignesh Shah and myself.
Club 35 plus, an endeavour to improve public awareness was started by Dr.Jaideep Malhotra. Dr. Pushpa Sethi, who is now in charge of this committee has promised to conduct this programme in newer places and chapters.
Aao Gaon Chalen! a programme started by Dr. Maninder Ahuja will be further extended & strengthened. Once every month members of each chapter will visit a village for health check up of elderly women & will give them practical guidance & advice.
IMS – Web Telecast Programme: Dr. Duru Shah & me are coordinating with partners to launch a web telecast IMS programme once every month. Details are being worked out.
With a vision to make chapters stronger,
- Chapters are requested to organise their annual function. Workshops & CMEs can be incorporated in it.
- Raise IMS funds
- Invite FOGSI & ICOG members & make them members of IMS
- Induct new members
This year, chapters' share of new members' fee will be paid immediately back to the chapters.
Coordinating with FOGSI & FOGSI Committees: Many of our members being chairpersons of different FOGSI committees, greater coordination is needed with FOGSI committees, particularly Midlife Management Committee, Public Awareness Committee, Oncology Committee, and Medical Education Committee.
With International Bodies: We shall continue our liason with Int. Menopause Society,BMS,NAMS and SAFOMS.
Making IMS Strong: This will be achieved, with a
- Stronger national presence
- Increase in membership strength to 10,000
- Partnership with Govt. on health policies of elderly women.
- Stress on unified action by office bearers.
- Better coordination with chapters.
President, will , this year stand as the 1st servant of IMS.
- Work will be distributed among vice president, secretary general, joint secretary, treasurer, joint treasurer, president elect , immediate past president & ex-office bearers.
- Secretary general will be the spokes person of IMS & will coordinate with international bodies.
- Vice president will strengthen the chapters & membership drive.
- Joint secretary will coordinate national CMEs & Workshops.
- Treasurer & joint treasurer will strengthen audit accounting of IMS chapters.
- President elect to coordinate with committees for better output
- Immediate past-president to co-ordinate with public awareness & rural camp programme.
- Committee chairpersons –to Improve standard.
- Chapter secretary – to form stronger chapters with more members.
- Past presidents – to advise and guide.
IMS Quiz: The theme for this year will be, Aging ovary co-ordinated by Dr. Chellama.
Dr. Yasodhara Pradeep will coordinate CIIMP
I record my gratitude & thanks to
- All members of IMS
- All office bearers of IMS
- All office bearers & past presidents, past/present & future.
- My mentors / teachers / friends
- My family
Menopause , will have a new meaning – To Empower, Enrich & Enlighten.

But when you click on the mini button you have to go all the way to the right to press it and when you do press it only half of the button changes to the down button. Wezzyfella, is also having the samething on his exit menu, for the mini button. He hasn't been able to fix it either, I don't know if it a bug or something wrong in the .ini file. I played around wiht the values in the .ini file but was not able to fix it.

A long time ago I started to get frustrated with cooking and dinner. I like to cook. I like to find recipes. But trying to fit it into my day was very hard. Tim was on recruiting duty and he never had a set schedule. Sometimes he could be home at 4, sometimes not until 10 at night. I never could count on him to be home to make dinner. I was teaching all day, working out, walking the dogs, and then I'd have the task of dinner. It was frustrating and overwhelming. A lot of times I would find myself running out to Panera or Subway because I was so tired.
I decided something had to change. I needed to figure out how to make dinner time smarter, not harder. That is when I decided I was going to spend all of Sunday cooking for the week. I would wake up early, create a grocery list, go shopping, and then cook all of the meals at the same time. Five meals would be on the agenda and hopefully one or two would be a crock pot meal.
The first Sunday I tried this, I was hooked. I'm a morning person and went to the grocery store as soon as they opened. I had 3 meals finished and two in the crock pot all before football started at 1. Not only did I feel like I had accomplished something pretty huge, I felt great every night when we had dinner and all I had to do was take it out of the fridge. I have been doing it ever since.
Here are some tips that I try to keep in mind:
1) Go to the grocery store as soon as it opens on Sunday morning or during church times. I hate crowded grocery stores. It's my own personal hell. I love Sunday mornings at 8. No one is there.
2) If you're cooking a roast or a piece of pork loin, have it as the first meal of the week. This way it stays fresh. Make the rest of your meals, meals that are easy to reheat.
3) Set up your grocery list by area of the grocery store. I have a great template that breaks the store up into the different sections. It stops me from being on one side of the store, almost finished shopping, realizing that I forgot something all the way across the store. Please let me know if you would like the template, I would love to share.
I have to admit, now that I am 3 days away from my due date, cooking 5 meals every week is getting harder and harder. I'm hanging in there though. We still have left overs from last week (Chicken Pot Pie Soup. Recipe found here: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/01/chicken-pot-pie-soup.html) so I only had to make three meals this week, two of which are made in a crock pot! I also am adding a bread and a batch of cookies!
Here are my recipes of the week and some pictures with our new camera.
Recipe One: BBQ Beer Chicken (Thanks KD!) Recipe: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/10/crockpot-bbq-beer-chicken/
Recipe Two: Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Pepper. Recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/09/santa-fe-turkey-stuffed-peppers.html
* Skinny Taste is basically my meal planning bible. She is amazing and makes low fat, delicious tasting dishes. I use her recipes at least 3 times a week.
* For this recipe, I doubled the stuffing and froze half. That half I will use for stuff peppers after the baby comes.
Recipe Three: Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili (also Skinny Taste). Recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/11/crock-pot-chicken-taco-chili-4-pts.html
Recipe Four: Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/petite-chocolate-chip-banana-bread.html
* I didn't make petite loaves. I made one big one and will freeze half
Recipe Five: Stuffed Cookie Cups with Reese Cups. Recipe: http://www.sugarloco.com/2012/09/stuffed-cookie-cups-recipe/
And last but not least, my two kitchen "helpers" that drive me crazy while I'm cooking.

Hi Midwest
Thanks very much for commenting and liking. Yes, the place is very interesting with respect to landscape photography. Big variations in landscapes, from sea level to high mountains in a short time. We are not that isolated, but have a lot of space. We have a small airport here with regular traffic (5 or 6 flights every day to other parts of the country). And also communication by road and sea.
Best regards Eyolf

Gunther Grant subsidiary Got Chocolates has launched a vegan gluten-free fudge product.
The company said the product was developed in response to consumer demand, with shoppers at Whole Foods Market approaching the company and asking for a vegan product.
The fudge will initially be available through the Got Chocolates website for US$14.99 per pound, the US confectioner said.
Gunther Grant, Subsidiary Got Chocolates, Inc. Announces Vegan Fudge MARKET FOR VEGAN FOOD CONTINUES TO EXPLODE
EAST ISLIP, N.Y., Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gunther Grant, Inc. (OTC Pinks: GNGR) announced today that its subsidiary, Got Chocolates, Inc., has created a non dairy Gluten Free Vegan Fudge in response to consumer demand for a gourmet fudge without animal or dairy products in the recipe.
The idea for Vegan Fudge evolved when several consumers approached the Got Chocolates display at a Whole Foods Market farmer's market inquiring if the fudge was vegan. Seeing an opportunity, the CEO instructed his development team to expedite the creation of this new product. Within a week, the team had created a Gluten Free Vegan Fudge. They accomplished this by using the same quality natural ingredients as their regular fudge and replacing the cream with almond milk and the butter with coconut oil. The outcome is a smooth and creamy mixture.
The Vegan Fudge retails at $14.99 per pound and consumers can buy direct online at the Got Chocolates, Inc. web store - http://www.gotchocolates.com/veganfudgenew.html
"The ability to see a need, create an item for that demand fast and bring to market in just a few days is something our larger competitors cannot do without months of planning, board approval and major research and development. With over 16 million vegetarians in the U.S. with about half of these being vegan, the market for vegan food continues to explode. We are excited to bring this opportunity to the market to fulfill consumer demand and provide another revenue source for our Company, stated Grant Newsteder, CEO of Gunther Grant, Inc.

I had a nice e-mail exchange with the manufacturer of my modem/router, a FritzBox WLAN 7360, quite common here in The Netherlands. They told me that in cases like this, they advised customers to instruct their product to EXclude the use of radio channels 12/13, and to UNcheck the option to use radio channels optimized for 300 Mbit/s. I took their advice, and after searching for a solution for over a year, this finally did the trick for me. At last! WiFi between modem/router and iMac has been stable now for more than 4 days, while it dropped the connection at irregular intervals before. Problem solved, no more ethernet cable! Of course I don't know how to do this on other brands of routers, but I'm sure you will find a way. I had to go into 'Expert Mode' on the FritzBox in order to fix this. Scary, but it worked.
It is now obvious that the WLAN-card (or more likely its firmware), built into the newer iMacs, is to blame for all our anger and despair. It's really time now for Apple do something about this, or to issue general instructions how to handle this problem as a minimum.

I am too having a issue with the Mountain Lion OS and Wifi dropping out. It drops out at the most inconvienent times as well.
I do Lets Play videos regularly on Youtube, and I can be in the middle of a upload, and the wifi will simply cut out and I will have to start all over again, its just NOT acceptable Apple.
I was just watching a TV show with Quicktime on full screen, and when I came back Wifi was killed and my upload link was severed. STAHP THE MADNESS APPL!
Fix meh OS plz.

have you read and done any of the steps mentioned above in the whole thread? changed your router to WPA2 security? as that seems to work. also create a new network location have you done that? have you deleted all the keychains for wifi in the keychain app?

Since some days same problems here.
Using Mountain Lion (now) 10.8.2. (& TimeCapsule 7.6.3 as Router). It seems to be a ML problem since one co-worker also using ML has the same problem (repeatly dropping wifi connections), but not a SL user. As the identical symptons appear also at home it is not a problem with the wlan router (because no problems at all using iPhones and/or iPads). ML is dropping the connection (after view minutes) and fails to automatically reconnect/establish a new one. I do use ML since the very beginning, but only experience wifi-problems since a view days.
Also tried various suggestions from this posts, but to no avail.
Not shure if recent TC updates are the cause of the pains (in my case i also have a TC at home).
This is really disappointing!

For my case, I had problems with intermittent WiFi after a trip to China. Nothing mentioned in the previous replies worked for me.
But one thing fixed my problem completely. I changed my router setting from using "Mixed b/g mode" for WiFi to "g only." After that I have stable WiFi for two days till now. Don't ask me why, but try it if you haven't. Maybe it'll work for you too...

On what kind of Mac do you experience this problem?
I struggle with the same problem for over a year now, and it becomes clearer and clearer to me that this is a problem of frequencies and optimizations in WiFi-land, things a normal person does not know about. The manufacturer of my modem/router (a Fritzbox 7360, quite popular here in Europe) advised me to switch off radio channels 12 and 13, and to deactivate the channels optimized for 300Mbit/s, whatever that means, because, and I quote:
'Various WLAN devices or adapters do not handle these channels very well.'
which would mean, in our cases, that certain WiFi-cards built into our Macs are not up to their tasks. I have suspected the Atheros WiFi-card (with 4.0 firm- or software, 3.x is ok) in my mid 2011 iMac for a long time, but nobody seems to agree, certainly not Apple. They remain silent.
The manufacturer's advice certainly worked for me. No more WiFi-drops for 3 weeks now! You probably did something like this by changing from b/g to g only.

Hi - did the upgrade and the Combo-Upgrade. Issue remains.

Other than upgrading OSX have you tried to troubleshoot the issue?
Medexx Mar 15, 2013 12:14 PM
in response to Csound1
Oh yes. Since i installed 10.8.2, tried every possible tweak, read all the threads about it. It's the first time i'm actually writing about it. I had high hopes for 8.3
The best result i got was getting wifi to detect and connect effectively for a few hours at some point (maybe 1 month ago). And then it died again after.
Csound1 Mar 15, 2013 12:17 PM
in response to Medexx
If you have tried "every possible tweak" there are no more left. More likely is that you have not tried 'every'.
Have you deleted and created a new connector, have you tried other security methods, have you tested with security off.
What have you tried?
Medexx Mar 15, 2013 12:42 PM
in response to Csound1
It's of course a figure of speech that has the intent to show that for a "simple" computer user as myself, i did try a lot of things for a long time now. i'm not sure about naming each and every one of them but i'll try to list the categories:
- New Location, deleting known networks,reordering internet connection methods..
- Router (i do have other devices connecting perfectly to it, as was my MBP before 8.2) : changing channel, MTU, changing from WEP to WPA2, activating WPS, deactivating everything and resetting a new different SSID...
- Keychain : deleting the known and stored network lines
- Kext files : i'm not sure what i did with those
- New MBP users : created two other fresh users with different profiles...
- Hardware tests
- Going to different places with diferrent WIFI routers and settings
i do agree that this might not cover "every possible tweak", as nothing is absolute. But i'm just tired of trying.

To summarize the problem: Lion and Mountain Lion have problems recognizing Apple wireless routers.
Since 2007, I've been using an Airport Express router. Over the years, several Macs, one PC and one iPhone 3GS have been connecting to this router without any failure, each of these devices having run on various versions of its operating system.
The problem started to occur when I installed Lion. It was hard for it to see the router, while it kept finding without problems all neighbouring non-Apple routers. I often had to try several times. The problem persisted with Mountain Lion but was greatly improved with the 10.8.2 upgrade. However the 10.8.3 upgrade was a catastrophe as it just does not see my Airport Express. I then did a full reinstallation of my Mountain Lion partition but it keeps not seeing my router. Of course I tried all the recommended manipulations to try and fix it but got nothing. I'm writing this message from my Snow Leopard partition.
Fed up and on my way to a computer store to buy a new non-Apple router.

Ryedale MP Anne McIntosh
/ News
A CRUNCH ballot on Friday will decide the future of Ryedale MP Anne McIntosh following a dispute with senior members in the local constituency.
Miss McIntosh, who is chairwoman of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee, has been involved in a year-long battle, after the executive of Thirsk and Malton Conservative Association voted last January against automatically readopting her as their candidate for the 2015 General Election.
This week, a leaked report claimed efforts to deselect Miss McIntosh had "spiralled out of control" with some senior members breaking the rules by co-opting a large number of new members on to the association's executive board weeks before the vote.
An internal investigation found the way she was deselected was "fundamentally flawed" and its result should be set aside.
It also criticised association chairman Peter Steveney for a letter he sent to members last February, reminding them to make sure they had the "whole story" before they voted, and urging them to contact him for a personal response.
On Monday, the association's deputy chairman of membership and fundraising, Margaret Singleton, resigned in an open letter citing, "a divisive and destructive situation has arisen over this selection process".
However, in a separate letter, association president James Holt, said that reports of "dirty tricks" in Thirsk and Malton Conservative Association grotesquely misrepresented the truth. He said: "Every action Major Steveney and his colleagues have ever taken in relation to the make-up of the association's executive council was done in good faith and under advice from regional, and later national, officials.
Promoted stories
"Miss McIntosh flatly refused to accept a new executive of which every member had been specifically approved as legitimate by the Party's chief legal officer, hence the imposition of the ballot which closes this week."
Ryedale District Council leader Linda Cowling said Miss McIntosh had been a very good MP and she hoped this would continue. "Allegations that Anne is impossible to work with are just not true and, from my own experience, I find her very good at communicating," she said.
Fellow councillor Janet Frank said Miss McIntosh had worked tirelessly for the constituency and she believed her treatment had been underhand.
She said: "She shows a great understanding of the problems of rural communities."

Hello everyone.
In case you are wondering why Lessons with Luis isn't in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival guide this year, it's because I am not doing a comedy festival show. People have emailed and asked me if I retired, but it's okay, I didn't. I am just taking a little holiday after Famous with Luis and Fishcam because my imagination needs some rest. Catty has also missed me a lot so I decided to take a break from by showbiz lifestyle and give him more attention instead of being nervous about dad ironing my costumes.
Thank you for understanding but please don't be sad, the good news is I am doing some mini shows in other shows at the festival! You can see me do things on stage at these shows…
Saturday April 11 and Sunday April 12, 12:30PM, The Famous Spiegeltent – The Arts Centre, $15.50

FanFiction comedy is a show where comedians write stories based on movies or books that already exist.

Some of the comedians that appear on the show are from New Zealand. New Zealanders are like friendlier Australians but they like to say Fish and Chips a lot more. I will be performing my story with Luelin and his sample box.

However, the playerbase pretty much disagrees with me. Most high-level guilds focus heavily on PvE. There seems to be a very fixed mindset in place with MMO players that encourages them to go for "endgame" PvE content, even though it is really just one path of many in Age of Wushu. Therefore, I feel obligated to cover it. If you are interested in learning more about forbidden instances, I advise you to get into a high-end guild and ask questions. I can give you the basics of what to expect and how to prepare, but there are a lot of specifics and everyone does things a little bit differently.

There seems to be a very fixed mindset in place with MMO players that encourages them to go for "endgame" PvE content, even though it is really just one path of many in Age of Wushu. Therefore, I feel obligated to cover it. If you are interested in learning more about forbidden instances, I advise you to get into a high-end guild and ask questions. I can give you the basics of what to expect and how to prepare, but there are a lot of specifics and everyone does things a little bit differently.
If you raided in another game, this won't really be surprising
Age of Wushu has two types of group PvE. The first are "Jianghu challenges," which are colloquially referred to by the playerbase as "mini instances" or "minis." These are a good challenge for a group of low-level players (up to six) but are generally sort of easy for leveled characters. Most minis are done with teams of two or three and occasionally solo with the right items and build. Teams of two make it quite a bit easier, as energy is less of a problem.
Forbidden instances are the real group PvE, and they are generally challenged with the maximum number of players. This can be as few as six, but it can also be a raid group with several full parties depending on the instance. Twilight Village (all difficulty settings) and Green Cloud Castle Normal are built for six people, but all others require a raid group of at least 12. You can go in with fewer than the maximum number of players, but unless you are very over-leveled for the instance, this is a bad idea.
Forbidden instances must be done for certain internal skill quests. Everyone must do Twilight Village and Green Cloud Castle on any difficulty to unlock tiers of his or her second internal skill, and some third internal skill quests also require players to clear forbidden instances. Since these quests represent hard caps on your character's progression, you generally will have to do them a few times at some point. It is possible to use the market to get the skills, but this is very inefficient and I don't advise it.
All forbidden instances have the same basic formula: a bunch of trash mobs and/or some puzzles followed by a boss fight, repeated until you clear all the bosses in the dungeon. The overall formula should be very familiar if you've ever done a dungeon or raid in another MMO. The boss mechanics are also similar; expect dance mechanics and limitations on attacks as you would in any other MMO.
The most important issue in any PvE instance is energy. Energy recovery is very slow, and leaving combat is difficult or impossible during a boss fight. Thus, you will absolutely need energy management tools. I recommend taking NPC pills for both health and energy as well as crafted consumables. HP/IF recovery food and herbalist pills all help a lot. There are also arena consumables; they can be purchased in limited quantities each day and give very powerful healing for both health and energy.
You will also need array skills. Everyone in your raid needs the appropriate arrays. For TV, you will need only the 3-man Trinity Array from the early tutorial quests. For others, you will need to do some outside questing to get. Each dungeon has an array associated with it, and you should make sure you are appropriately skilled before entering. If you do not have at least the 6-man Return to Origins Array from Luoyang, most group content will be closed to you.
Weiqi players are highly prized as array leaders. If you are a weiqi player, you will want a formation that restores energy. The Wheel Sword formation can be purchased in Scholars from the Weiqi vendor, and there are other arrays that you can find or buy that give energy regeneration as a secondary effect with high enough skill. If you are a Weiqi player, make sure you at least have Wheel Sword, and ask your group what other formations they want you to have.
It is also a good idea to know the best possible attack rotation with your skills and build. You are looking for the best possible DPS sequence you can fire off without any gaps. Fortunately, most styles have a fast-recharging filler attack, and arrays also have a fast-recharging array attack. In any fight that does not require you to rotate feints, you should prioritize multi-hit attacks to take advantage of per-hit damage buffs.
Some boss fights are called "feint bosses." These bosses generally have a very powerful blocking skill that produces some very undesirable effect if blocks your attacks. Many of them heal for ridiculous amounts if anyone on the team hits the boss while it is blocking. These bosses require low-hit rotations and frequent feints instead of the normal high-hit rotations.
There is not, strictly speaking, a holy trinity in Age of Wushu. However, there are a number of abilities that are expected in a raid group. Healing is not one of these things; all raid members, including the tank, are expected to manage their own health. Tanks are generally chosen by their ability to sustain health through powerful boss attacks.
The second major role is a character with Boundless Sword, used to activate Pierce the Sky/Sky Ballistic. Generally this person is a Scholar, since Boundless Sword is a Scholar style. Sky Ballistic gives the entire party a very large per-hit damage buff and also regenerates the team's energy by a small percentage every second. If one Scholar properly rotates Sky Ballistic when available, it will solve a majority of the team's energy problems on its own. Most are terrible; if you're a Scholar, keep this skill in the forefront of your mind and always try to keep it going.
The third major role is that of an Emei, used to keep Golden Buddha Light up as much as possible. It is very difficult to keep permanent unless the tank is Emei. Since Emei make fairly good tanks, this is often a double role. GBL gives the entire party a very large damage resistance buff and is essential for high-end raiding. If your tank is not an Emei, it is wise to have more than one and have the two stagger their GBL activations.
The final major role is that of a Tangmen. This role cannot be substituted by other schools. Tangmen who have reached level 36 in Six Directions Canon can use Following Madness together with Swallow the Whale to produce a huge string of crits, debuffing the enemy with many stacks of the Mangle debuff. This debuff adds bonus damage to every hit landed on the target, and it is absolutely ridiculous when stacked. Tangmen aren't mandatory for easier instances, but the damage output from 6DC is mandatory for harder ones.
Other schools are generally just damage support, although they can also serve in another very important role...
Age of Wushu is all about PvP. Instead of a dance mechanic (or sometimes in addition to one), player assassins will be summoned to fight your team. The boss fight is timed, and the assassins' job is to delay your raid until the time is up. If they succeed, they get some pretty nice rewards and you have to try the boss over.
This is probably the best part of instances, and by that I mean I love getting the opportunity to be an assassin. It is vitally important that you defend your raid from bloodthirsty jerks like me because most of the people who sign up to be assassins know they're going into PvP and are at least passably skilled at it. That being said, the assassin party is more disorganized and about half the size of the raid party. Expect to devote a third to half of your raid to fighting them during these battles. The remainder should DPS the boss normally but be on alert for any assassins who make it past your hunters.
The best assassin targets are generally the core team members. Emei and the tanks are the obvious targets, but the best prize goes to the array leaders. Breaking the raid's array generally wipes the raid, and if they can score it about five minutes in or later it probably completely ruins the fight. As an assassin, if you can identify the array leader, try your best to take him or her down. As a raider, be advised that dying to stop an assassin is totally fine as long as you're not one of the Emeis keeping GBL up, the tank, or the array leader.
There is a ton to learn about PvE instances that is not covered here. Ask your guildmates if you're planning on it, and follow their preparations. You'll be glad you did. However, you'd be more glad if you just went to kill people and ignored PvE. Take it from me!

It may well be that the reverence for our constitution is so profound that even with a sense that there is a high probability that the Defense of Marriage Act will be found unconstitutional, Americans will not move to amending the constitution until this actually happens.
This gets to my second point regarding my optimism.
Because Americans do want to preserve traditional marriage, the case seems compelling that a federal marriage amendment will be enacted if indeed the Defense of Marriage Act is negated by the Supreme Court.
The question remaining then is do we want to bear the costs of waiting until this happens.
The most simplistic argument made by opponents of the marriage amendment is that homosexual marriage legalization doesn't threaten traditional marriage. According to Sen. Russell Feingold, for instance, "All over the country, married heterosexual couples are shaking their heads and wondering how exactly the prospect of gay marriage threatens the health of their marriages."
What Feingold obfuscates is that this is as much about our future as our present. The erosion of tradition and gain in support for "alternate" lifestyles is among our youth. This directly flows from the environment in which these kids grow up and what they hear in the public schools they attend.
So what? Consider CNN anchor Lou Dobbs' diatribe against the marriage amendment, calling it "sheer nonsense." According to Dobbs, Republicans are playing politics with a "wedge" issue. Dobbs continues, "How can we tolerate elected officials who press wedge issues when 37 million people in the United States live in poverty?"
The black pastors from all over the nation who accompanied me to Washington this week to express support for the marriage amendment know that the large percentage of these poor Americans are black, who overwhelmingly live in broken families. Black homes with married husbands and wives earn on a par with white Americans.
The prodigious moral, social, and economic costs of delay on taking action on protecting marriage will become increasingly clear. The same factors which cause some Americans to be skeptical of the marriage amendment will, I think, ultimately lead them to support it.
The issue is the cost of waiting. This could be helped with some courageous leadership in Washington. Something all too rare these days.

Chinese students create robot sculpture from truck junk
Eco Factor: Sculpture made from recycled materials.
A team of students at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts have created a 32-foot-tall robot statue from parts of an old truck. The four-ton sculpture is supposed to be based on the Chinese deity Guan Gong. The sculpture, which does look more like a bot, has recycled bones other than some parts on its face and the sword.

The investigation into the shocking and tragic murder of Professor Dan Markel continues, as we noted in Morning Docket. The police recently released additional details about the crime — but are withholding certain pieces of information, for strategic reasons.
How much progress has been made in the investigation, and what are the latest developments?
Last week, the Tallahassee Police Department released its report about the crime, as described by the Tallahassee Democrat:
Police have provided few details to the public, other than he was shot in the head at about 11 a.m. July 18. A heavily redacted incident report released Friday noted the specific location of the crime as Markel's garage and said his black Honda Accord was processed by TPD's forensics unit.
The report says a neighbor called police at 11:02 a.m. after hearing a loud bang or pop coming from Markel's house and saw a white or silver Toyota Prius-type vehicle leaving the area. Investigators are seeking information on a similar looking car, which was captured by video surveillance at a nearby business.
You can read the redacted police report here. Why the redactions? WCVB explains:
Bob Jarvis, a Nova Southeastern University law professor, said there are numerous reasons police withhold crime details from the public, even when seeking tips. Prosecutors worry about affecting the jury pool, and police are always concerned with false confessions and copycat criminals, he said.
"It's a way to test anybody who's either making a confession, who's trying to pin the blame on somebody else," Jarvis said. "It's a truth-telling test. You don't want confusion. If there's something unique about the killer or the killer's M.O., you'd like to keep that under wraps."
A report from ABC News contains chilling new details not included in the police report:
A Florida State University criminal law professor was pulling into his driveway and talking on his cell phone when he was fatally shot, ABC News has learned exclusively…. The killer was waiting for Markel outside his home in Tallahassee's Betton Hills section, a source told ABC News, and followed Markel into the garage, shooting him in the side of the head through the window of his car. The bullet entered just beneath Markel's jawline.
Markel was alive when cops arrived, with the keys in the ignition of his car, before being pronounced dead at the hospital hours later, police said. Markel was apparently on the phone at the time of the shooting, remarking to the person on the phone that someone was in the driveway, ABC News has learned.
So it seems that Markel briefly saw the person who shot him. In this video report, legal analyst Dan Abrams notes that any statement by Markel describing his attacker would be admissible, hearsay concerns notwithstanding, as a "dying declaration." (Abrams also made a comment about the vehicle of interest — "A Prius isn't a typical hit-man vehicle… [Was it] the person who wants to protect the environment and kill someone?" — that was not well received by the commenters over at Gawker.)
As for the identity of the person or persons behind Markel's killing, the Tallahassee Democrat offered these observations from Ohio State University law professor Douglas Berman, a leading law blogger like Markel:
"Could this have been related to something that went wrong in the classroom or other professional interactions?" Berman wondered. "Did somebody, in a big, horrible way, take something that he wrote the wrong way?"
While rare, such incidents have occurred in Tallahassee. In 1976, FSU professor James Fisher was shot and killed by a disgruntled grad student. An FSU chemistry lecture hall was later named in Fisher's memory. And in 1995, FSU law student Joann Plachy was convicted of hiring a hit man to kill a secretary who was going to reveal she had cheated on a law school exam.
As for other suspects related to Markel's professional work, ABC News noted that he did receive threatening comments in 2012 from readers of his popular blog, PrawfsBlawg, and quoted a friend who wondered whether Markel's writing and blogging could have played a role in the killing:
Reggie Garcia, a friend of Markel's, wondered whether Markel's blog and other law endeavors could have motivated the attack.
"Is it possible his scholarship and literature created some enemies? It's as possible as any of the other scenarios," Garcia said.
Markel left behind two young sons and an ex-wife, Wendi Jill Adelson, also an FSU professor. Their divorce was acrimonious, punctuated by dozens of court dockets, hearings and a protracted custody battle over their two boys. Markel described the day Adelson left him as his "Pearl Harbor," friends told ABC News. Markel told friends that, without warning, Adelson had packed up the house and the children and left while he was away on a business trip.
Police spent hours questioning Adelson, and questioned many others who knew him well, but have named no suspects.
If you have any information that might assist law enforcement in solving this horrific crime, please call the Tallahassee Police Department's tip line, 850-891-4462, which has so far received more than 50 calls from sources. The reward for information leading to an arrest, initially set at $1,000, has been raised to $3,000.
If you would like to make a donation to honor Dan's memory, either to a fund for his two sons or to designated charities, please see this post for details. Thank you.
UPDATE (7/29/2014, 11:15 a.m.): First, on the issue of the Prius, several correspondents have pointed out to us that (1) a Prius would blend in as "the type of car frequently seen on that street" (according to someone who lives in the neighborhood), and (2) a Prius is an unusually quiet car (making it useful for a stealthy escape from the crime scene).

The total Blinder list of the 22 most offshorable major jobs totaled 15,732,670 in May 2005. That was up 7.7 percent from 14,603,140 jobs in May 2002. Employment increased in 18 of the 22 job groups, and wages increased in all of them.
The two most vulnerable jobs on Blinder's list are the most plausible, and the ones most often mentioned -- computer programmers and telemarketers. They are followed in the same top tier by computer systems analysts, bookkeeping clerks, consumer software engineers and systems analysts.
The second, less risky category includes accountants, but also several jobs that do not seem easily "zapped across international borders electronically." The group includes welders, for example, plus production worker helpers, packaging and filling machine operators, machinists, inspectors and even "first-line supervisors/managers."
In the third group, we are asked to believe that "sales managers" may soon be relocated to foreign countries. Customers may get an e-mail or phone call, but don't expect lunch or a handshake.
Employment increased between 2002 and 2005 in 18 of the 22 job categories supposedly threatened by electronic delivery of services. Employment did decline 4.5 percent among telemarketers, a loss of nearly 19,000 jobs, but that is an unpleasant low-wage job, and the job drop is largely explained by the national "do not call" registry. To put that loss of about 6,000 jobs a year in context, the United States routinely loses about 30 million jobs each year, yet gains even more. The net gain is why the unemployment rate is just 4.5 percent.
Employment among computer programmers fell by 68,000 jobs, nearly 15 percent. I am not unsympathetic, since my son John is a PHP programmer of online applications (in New York, not India). Most software professionals in India are just coders, a rote job requiring little creativity. Besides, employment in four other computer-related "offshorable" U.S. jobs, such as computer software engineers, increased by 210,570 between 2002 and 2005, far outstripping the loss of mostly low-end programming jobs.
Blinder needed a short and snappy idea designed to be "marketable in the political arena." He is trying to sell us on his public policy ideas. As the academic paper notes, "The appropriate policy responses (if any) to this problem probably depend on how many jobs might be susceptible to offshoring." He wants a large policy response, which requires a large number.
It is always prudent to be suspicious whenever wildly sensational claims are used to market any public policy.
Blinder wants more generous unemployment benefits (which discourage work) and more costly retraining programs (which almost always fail). He even expects expert central planners to redesign "our education system so that it turns out more people who are trained for the jobs that will remain in the United States and fewer for the jobs that will migrate overseas." If your children want to be computer programmers or accountants, they will simply have to adapt to the national plan.
Employment is increasing in nearly all the occupations Blinder imagines to be in imminent danger of being handled through electronic communication with some distant country. Unless the facts change, Blinder's imaginative guesstimates and policy advice need not be taken too seriously.

The widespread salmonella outbreak that has affected 141 people across 20 states spawned its first lawsuit last week. The epidemic is allegedly linked to sushi made from raw, ground yellowfin tuna, which was recalled by seafood importer Moon Marine U.S.A. Corp.
However, some restaurants that sell Moon Marine tuna rolls may not be aware that the fish was recalled, MSNBC reports. That may have been the case in this lawsuit, filed by two Wisconsin women who fell ill after eating tuna rolls at a local restaurant.
