See definition in Oxford Advanced Learner's DictionarySyllabification: an·nal·ist
Pronunciation: /ˈan(ə)ləst/
Definition of annalist in English:
A person who writes annals.
Example sentences
- He was preceded by a handful of annalists, notably Hydatius in Galicia, and followed, among others, by Gregory of Tours and Fredegar in Francia, Isidore in Spain, Bede in Northumbria, and Paul the Deacon in Italy.
- So too the annalists of the Annals of Ulster, who most frequently called the Viking incomers 'foreigners', sometimes differentiated between 'dark' and 'fair' foreigners.

- Example sentences
- Sallust's last work, the Histories, was annalistic (arranged by years). It covered events from 78, perhaps continuing Cornelius Sisenna, though it included a retrospect of earlier events.
- The vagueness of the date arises from the fact that the event seems to have had no place in the early Arabic annalistic tradition.
- The Ingimund episode is largely detailed in an Irish annalistic source, but Welsh annals mention a battle on Anglesey in 903 where 'Ogmundr' was defeated by the Welsh.

Review: Impire
Feb 27
// Fraser Brown
Impire (PC)Developer: Cyanide StudioPublisher: Paradox InteractiveReleased: February 14, 2013MSRP: $19.99 The demonic powerhouse known as Baal-Abaddon has been unleashed on the fantasy realm of Ardania by incompetent demonologist and sniveling idiot, Oscar Van Fairweather. He has enough chips on his shoulder that nobody could really call it a shoulder anymore, and all he wants to do is spread evil throughout the land, eventually becoming its ruler. He's not very good at the whole evil thing, unfortunately. The story-driven campaign is one of the many things that sets it apart from Dungeon Keeper, a title Cyanide was clearly inspired by but did its best to avoid mimicking. Lamentably, like most of the facets taken from titles wholly different from Bullfrog's classic, it fits in about as well as a child-eating demon at a children's birthday party. It's not that the plot itself is out of place -- though it's not exactly scintillating -- rather, it's the brand of comedy that accompanies it. Early in the game, it's amusing in a slightly puerile sort of way. I thoroughly enjoy tacky innuendo and toilet humor, and a game about a bald idiot with daddy issues trying to control the forces of hell shouldn't take itself seriously, but then it just gets really carried away. References are thrown around with zero context, from Star Wars to A Song of Ice and Fire, and none of it makes any sense. I confess that I just don't get reference comedy. I can't stand Family Guy, and I simply don't see why a character mentioning something from a movie or some other form of media is funny. Comedy is tough, and is fairly subjective, so I'm willing to accept that someone out there might find Impire hysterical. I'm just not that person. Thankfully the awkward attempts at comedy are restricted to the poorly animated in-game cutscenes, and the rest of the experience is all about running an increasingly large dungeon filled with minions, attacking heroes, and pitiful prisoners. Here is every mission in Impire: You start with a partially filled-out dungeon with a few corridors, enemy-patrolled areas that can be dug to, a couple of worker imps and a mushroom chamber, and a few other essential rooms. Unless you take a particular path just before the game's final chapter, every dungeon you make will essentially look the same. The dungeon has one purpose, and no other. It exists to allow you to build up a small army of creatures which you can move to a second area situated next to the dungeon to perform a series of extremely boring quests that amount to killing a hell of a lot of enemies and occasionally collecting some items. To build this army, resources must be gathered by sending minions on surface raids, which was a nice touch sadly diluted by the fact that a raid just means they travel to a tiny area and fight some enemies while the player has no control beyond casting the occasional spell. These resources can in turn be spent on building new rooms to recruit new minions, upgrade said minions, or accrue more resources. There are few meaningful interactions to be found, and no real attempt appears to have been made to disguise the fact that you are clearly just performing fairly mundane actions in a rather linear fashion. Finally there's the acquisition of DEC points, Impire's slightly unexpected attempt to shoehorn RPG elements into the mix. By performing tasks on a huge list (digging through x number of blocks, killing x number of heroes, wasting x hours of your life) dungeon builders get awarded points which can then be used to unlock new rooms, upgrades, and runes to customize minions. It suffers from the same problems as the rest of the game, sadly, in that it feels like you're just going through the motions, doing the same old things again and again. It is tedious. Exactly the word Baal himself uses when you order him to move somewhere. Cyanide should have listened to their little demon. The entire dungeon-building experience boils down to ticking the boxes that allow you to bugger off and do the main quest. And every single mission is exactly the same apart from sometimes getting access to a new room. Damn, I've probably bored you all half to death just detailing the mission structure. Maybe I should try to spice it up. I did attempt to do that during the game by giving the rooms new names, along with my actual minions. The minion-spawning room became, at least in my head, The Womb of Doom, and I started to name all of my creatures after famous dictators. I genuinely wish I could muster up one iota of enthusiasm for it, but Impire has sapped me of my positivity entirely. It's frustratingly repetitive. There was no joy in finishing a mission, as I knew that I would begin again, simply going through the motions, trying to reach the end. I ended up going on prolonged cigarette breaks. At one point I actually left my PC and went to watch a football game with my flatmate. I haven't watched a football game since I was a teenager, and even then it was because I was trapped. Each room is prefabricated, and the only element of customization is the ability to rotate and place them, and even that is restricted by the small size of the dungeon areas. At first I thought that this might make room placement something of a puzzle, a challenge requiring a spot of lateral thinking. Nope. It's just boring. Once constructed, the rooms are actually a high point of Impire, however. The ones that require an imp to man them especially, and watching those little ghastly beasts working away was a brief respite from the monotony of the game. If every dungeon didn't look almost identical, then I think I would have been extremely charmed by the title's aesthetic. My biggest gripe with the dungeon portion of Impire is how it wasted my time. It's a bloody long game, and each mission can take up to an hour to complete, but most of that hour is spent doing exactly the same thing as the previous mission. And yet with all that repetition, there are more features that exist to prolong the experience. From commanding your minions to eat (they are too stupid to do that themselves), to making them move anywhere -- setting patrols is pointless since they just go where they want, and where they want to go is usually up and down a small portion of a corridor; there's a ton of faffing. I like a bit of micromanagement, but there's a fine line between giving players lots of control and making them perform menial tasks, and Impire crosses that line with gusto. Treasure pits and stockrooms are the worst offenders by far when it comes to needlessly extending mission length, however. Each of these rooms are tiny and hold a rather small amount of resources, yet these resources are absolutely integral to progressing through a level. So the first half hour or more of each mission is spent filling up those rooms, then spending those resources to buy more of those rooms, since they can't be upgrades or expanded, filling them up again, and repeating the procedure until you can finally hold enough resources to build the force required to storm the neighbouring area. These are tasks, not entertaining activities. So the dungeon-building portion is a bust -- what about the combat? The minions themselves are great, at least in terms of how they look. There are metal-loving goblin shamans, manic grinning imps of various classes, minotaurs, skeletons, wraiths, a beholder-type creature called an occulus -- they are quite delightful. Troops can be extensively upgraded, too. Armor and weapons come in three tiers, and little familiars can eventually be attached to groups of units, giving them some bonuses. When it comes to these minor bits of customization, there aren't really any paths, but it still felt like I was developing them rather than just churning them out. These creatures are meant to be placed into squads of four, and these squads move and attack as one. Depending on the make-up of the squad, they may have synergy abilities. These synergies are all passive in so much as the player has no control over their use, and frankly, I barely noticed them. When it comes to sending them into combat, it all falls apart. Impire may ostensibly be a strategy game, but fighting instantly devolves into an indistinguishable mass of spell effects and creatures hitting each other. It's impossible to make out what is going on amid all the chaos, and the numbers and status effects that appear above them come out fast and thick, giving players no time to react or understand the conflict. It amounts to hitting something until it stops moving. While much of the combat happens in the secondary dungeon where the mission's main quest takes place, there's still a fair amount of combat within Oscar and Baal's own dungeon. Heroic invasions happen with increasing frequency as the dungeon levels up, and bloody hell are they infuriating. Heroes will either enter via destructible ladders or the main entrance. If the ladders are destroyed the heroes will still come through the entrance anyway, making it something of a pointless victory. A variety of traps can be laid throughout the dungeon, though they serve no real purpose, just like the rooms that "attract" heroes, drawing them away from the precious treasure pit. If heroes are stomping around your dungeon, you're doing something wrong. Minions and Baal himself can be teleported to any part of the dungeon, so there's simply no reason why any heroes will have the freedom that allows them to wander into traps, especially since they can't even be placed by the main entrance. These invasions present little threat, and generally exist as nuisances more than anything else. There's nothing more annoying that attempting to complete a quest when every few minutes a couple of invaders appear in the dungeon and require the squads to be teleported back in. Again, it feels like it's merely prolonging an experience that is already far too padded out. Impire may have annoyed me more than I knew. It was probably the technical issues that pushed me over the edge. Everything was going smoothly before the first patch, and I suffered none of the crashes or glitches reported by others. Then it all went to hell when Cyanide apparently decided to break the game when it was working -- at least for me -- perfectly. All of a sudden I was getting crashes every single mission, and to make matters worse, my saves were being corrupted. Most of the game is filled with "been there, done that" moments, but for me I literally had been there, playing that very mission, and I had to do it all over again. These aren't levels I wanted to do once, let alone twice. At this point, I should add, for the sake of transparency, that I failed to finish Impire's final mission. It crashed the first time I attempted it, then the second time it crashed and corrupted my save file. I packed it in at that point. There's a fairly original, ambitious title to be found deep within Impire. But it's really, really deep. Far deeper than the dungeons ever go. All the potential was wasted on missions that amount to simple copy-and-paste tactics punctuated by jokes that are an acquired taste, to say the least. It's stitched together with big ideas and interesting concepts, but it never even comes close to being the sum of its parts.
A bit less painful than sitting on a red-hot poker
There is a vast, tumultuous ocean between good ideas and their actual application, and lost in the middle of that ocean is Impire. In fact, it may very well be stuck inside the belly of a whale. I had high hopes for the dunge...
Review: Of Orcs and Men
Oct 15
// Jim Sterling
Of Orcs and Men (PC [reviewed], PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)Developer: Spiders, Cyanide Publisher: Focus Home InteractiveRelease: October 11, 2012MSRP: $39.99Rig: Intel i7-2600k @3.40 GHz, with 8GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 580 GPU (SLI) Of Orcs and Men takes the popular modern approach of telling a fantasy story from the view of "traditional" bad guys, its plot focused on a band of Orcs seeking revenge against a tyrannical human empire. With greenskins persecuted and enslaved, it falls to an extremely violent Orc warrior named Arkail and his Goblin companion, Styx, to assassinate the emperor in a bid to free the greenskin people. As already noted, Of Orcs is not shy of adult language, to the point where one feels it might be trying just a little too hard to be edgy. However, the constant swearing certainly fits the tone, especially given the fact that our heroes are not necessarily heroic, blinking no eyes at slaughter, torture, and other nefarious deeds. It also helps that, despite being morally dubious, racist, untrustworthy and violent, our two protagonists are relatable and hard to dislike. Styx, in particular, is a wonderfully realized character, his sarcasm, selfishness, and deeply buried sense of nobility making him both likable and frequently hilarious. The sneaky Goblin has a few wisecracks that legitimately made me laugh out loud -- no small feat for a videogame. Though the 10-14-hour story isn't quite as deep as it'd like to be, and the constant treachery of other characters can grow a little exhausting, Of Orcs and Men still manages to provide one of the better role-playing adventure stories I've experienced in a while. With its dark world and characters that seem very human despite their fantastical genus, there should be few people who won't feel satisfied by the plot, as it grows from a story of foolhardy revenge to inspiring rebellion. [embed]236746:45426[/embed] Combat has a heavy BioWare influence to it, with Arkail and Styx making used of queued commands to take out the opposition. As one might expect, the Orc is a savage warrior who can take and dish out a beating, while his Goblin partner is all about debuffing the opposition and providing ranged support. Both characters have one of three combat stances -- melee, special, and defense/ranged, depending on the character. Each stance has its own particular set of skills that can be queued up by slowing down the action and choosing up to four desired attacks, which will be performed in sequence once time has been returned to normal. Arkail and Styx can be manually controlled at the press of a button, and it's worth approaching combat with the idea that you will be using both of them. Unchecked, the A.I. isn't particularly good at handling battle situations, even when switched to the suggested defensive stance. Fighting is all about constantly maintaining both characters, keeping them both focused on the right tactics and ensuring they work together to take down foes. You don't play Of Orcs as a single character -- you really are both of them. When the greenskins level up, they gain access to new skills, as well as opportunities to enhance their existing ones. Skills can only be enhanced once, and the player has to pick one of two enhancement options, usually adding extra damage or a new status ailment. Some skills are designed to help Arkail and Styx support each other or attack together -- for instance, Styx's normal attacks can be made to cause bleeding, and Arkail's can be upgraded to deal extra damage to enemies affected by that particular status. As well as keeping the protagonists performing the right tasks, players must also watch out for Arkail's biggest weakness -- his rage. As Arkail performs attacks, a rage meter fills, which, once fully powered, will initiate a berzerk status. Under the influence of berzerk, Arkail gains a large damage boost at the cost of being uncontrollable and even prone to attacking Styx. This can be disastrous if it activates too early in a battle, as his unpredictable nature and inability to revive his partner leaves both he and Styx vulnerable. Exploited carefully, however, it can also be a way to successfully clear a battle early. It's worth noting that, for at least the first half the game, things are brutally unforgiving. As often seems to be the case with RPGs out of Europe, players are thrown into the deep end and come up against unwavering, hard-hitting opponents almost immediately. As characters level and gain new powers, the challenge eases up considerably, but it's a rough start that risks putting players off before the action's even truly started. It doesn't help that healing is almost worthless, leaving the character vulnerable to attacks that often sap more health than is being gained. Many fights, however, are unbalanced by design, for Styx has a way of evening the odds. The Goblin can sneak among foes before the fight's started, entering a special stealth stance that renders him invisible to NPCs unless he stands literally a few inches in front of them. In stealth mode, Styx can assassinate guards, thinning the ranks before they're taken on in full combat. It's not exactly "stealth" gameplay, however, since there's no real need to hide and most enemies are stood in place. These sections are more like puzzles, as players scope out the environment, check where guards are looking, and work out the optimal number of guards that can be killed without being seen or sniffed out by dogs. In most situations, not every guard will be killed, but even getting to cut down a couple before having Arkail rush in can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Sometimes things are rendered more difficult than they ought to be simply because the game isn't working properly. At times, certain commands won't activate when demanded, or the characters will change their attack targets for no reason. Trusting the A.I. to do anything is a bad idea, as it likes to go for opponents who are too far away or provide the least threat. There are undoubtedly some bugs in the works, occasionally popping up to make controls less responsive, and sometimes cause one of the heroes to not attack at all for an arbitrary amount of time. Of Orcs and Men is rough around the edges, though it's by far one of the more polished European RPGs I've seen. Bugs aside, the combat is intuitive and a lot of fun to play with, and the game looks fairly pretty, outside of many solid objects passing through each other. There's also a rather unique shop system, with coins eschewed for trade points. Equipment is bartered for rather than paid for with gold, and these trade points can be saved to upgrade gear. That said, there's not a lot of loot on offer -- there aren't too many weapons and only a handful of armor pieces in the game, so don't go out expecting to be swathed in lavish finery the moment you start swinging your axe. One of the real highlights of the game has to be its soundtrack. An incredibly beautiful arrangement of tunes has been provided by the Boston Cello Quartet and composer Olivier Deriviere. There is a lot of memorable and melodic music, adding real gravitas to cutscenes and important fights, the type that truly enhances and complements the visual action. Indeed, this is one of the best soundtracks I've had the pleasure of hearing this generation. Of Orcs and Men is for a specific audience -- its quirks and faults will be tough to forgive for the mainstream crowd, while its challenge and uniquely hectic combat can be offputting. It is, however, a game that a particular sort of gamer will fall deeply in love with. At times beautiful, hilarious, and even occasionally thoughtful, this is a one-of-a-kind action-RPG that deserves your consideration, if not your monetary vote. There's certainly nothing quite like it, and for all its foibles, when it hits its mark, it does so with vigor. A name can say a lot about a project. Of Orcs and Men is a rare and tantalizing, if perhaps a little ponderous, appellation. The same can indeed be said of that which bears its title.
Greener on the other side
A name can say a lot about a piece of art, with the particularly poetic ones giving you a clue as to where a project may be coming from. You can certainly get a good idea of the differences between The Unfinished Swan and Bat...

Hell yes. Nekro just pulled this from a Pokemon card booster pack. Don't judge me, I find the game to be fun, even if my deck is terrible.
So I decided to tinker around with some assets in Source Filmmaker and make a still image. Kind of a Jurassic Park-inspired thing with dino assets from that Ark game. Care to offer some comments, critique, etc.?
I think I broke it...
I have joined the discord group! Now I can call your waifu shit in more than one place!

There is a Spelunker themed dungeon in Megadimension Neptunia called Neplunker. It even comes complete with Spelunker music and dying from falling off waist high ledges! 10/10 would game over again.

Waifu Wars piece is up. But also, I got the Trails of Cold Steel limited edition in the mail the other day and just now looked at the pin you get with it. Wow, that horse is one smug looking son of a bitch. Kind of makes me want to punch him...

As the Ultimate Waifu gazed down upon the Earth from her Celestial Throne, she sighed, for mainly shit-tier waifus were being chosen. But one fairy gazed into the stars, declaring her love, sacrificing dreams and spiders on an alter of glitter for her.

Thanks to my girlfriend, we own a PS4 now. ID is Ikaruszino. I don't own any multiplayer games (yet) or have PS Plus (yet :p), but feel free to add me so in the future maybe we can play something.
My absolute finest moment in all of Metal Gear. Also, the first time I had driven a truck.
Ok. That EDF 4.1 game is really really good. You can even sing and shout "EDF!" with your soldiers! Holy crackers.
I want to goad my wife into playing RE Revelations 2 with me but I don't know if she can deal with the whole 3D spatial movement thing, even if she plays the supporting character.
Heads-up: Mega Man soundtracks are free right now at the Capcom Store. Guessing it's a glitch. All of them are digital downloads, except for Mega Man 9, which is a physical CD that requires money for shipping. Link in comments.

ASP.NET Web API - Screencast series Part 2: Getting Data
We're continuing a six part series on ASP.NET Web API that accompanies the getting started screencast series. This is an introductory screencast series that walks through from File / New Project to some more advanced scenarios like Custom Validation and Authorization. The screencast videos are all short (3-5 minutes) and the sample code for the series is both available for download and browsable online. I did the screencasts, but the samples were written by the ASP.NET Web API team.
In Part 1 we looked at what ASP.NET Web API is, why you'd care, did the File / New Project thing, and did some basic HTTP testing using browser F12 developer tools.
This second screencast starts to build out the Comments example - a JSON API that's accessed via jQuery. This sample uses a simple in-memory repository. At this early stage, the GET /api/values/ just returns an IEnumerable<Comment>. In part 4 we'll add on paging and filtering, and it gets more interesting.
[Video and code on the ASP.NET site]
The get by id (e.g. GET /api/values/5) case is a little more interesting. The method just returns a Comment if the Comment ID is valid, but if it's not found we throw an HttpResponseException with the correct HTTP status code (HTTP 404 Not Found). This is an important thing to get - HTTP defines common response status codes, so there's no need to implement any custom messaging here - we tell the requestor that the resource the requested wasn't there.
public Comment GetComment(int id) { Comment comment; if (!repository.TryGet(id, out comment)) throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound); return comment; }
This is great because it's standard, and any client should know how to handle it. There's no need to invent custom messaging here, and we can talk to any client that understands HTTP - not just jQuery, and not just browsers.
But it's crazy easy to consume an HTTP API that returns JSON via jQuery. The example uses Knockout to bind the JSON values to HTML elements, but the thing to notice is that calling into this /api/coments is really simple, and the return from the $.get() method is just JSON data, which is really easy to work with in JavaScript (since JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is the native serialization format in Javascript).
$(function() { $("#getComments").click(function () { // We're using a Knockout model. This clears out the existing comments. viewModel.comments([]); $.get('/api/comments', function (data) { // Update the Knockout model (and thus the UI) with the comments received back // from the Web API call. viewModel.comments(data); }); }); });
That's it! Easy, huh? In Part 3, we'll start modifying data on the server using POST and DELETE.

Pineapple-Strawberry Cranberry Relish Recipe
5 4
My son is a strawberry fanatic—anything with strawberries in it is a must-have in his book. I'll always remember the look on his face the first time he tried this. It was love! — Karen Wilkes, Lakewood, California
- 2 cans (14 ounces each) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package (14 ounces) frozen unsweetened sliced strawberries, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a large bowl, gently mix cranberry sauce, pineapple and strawberries until blended. Refrigerate, covered, 1-2 hours or until cold. Just before serving, stir in walnuts.
Freeze option: Do not add walnuts. Freeze relish and walnuts separately in freezer containers. To use, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Stir in walnuts just before serving. Yield: 22 servings (1/4 cup each).

As Gov. Bobby Jindal began to offer a Republican response, it became apparent that he would be no match with Barack Obama in the soaring-oratory department. The Republicans really should have tried a gimmick instead. Perhaps Jindal could have simply walked on and said, "Today, the president held what he called a fiscal responsibility summit." He could afford a wide smile at that point, knowing his audience had erupted in laughter.
Honestly, now: Are we quite ready finally to declare the Era of Obama As Fiscally Conservative is over? Last year, Republicans warned that Barack Obama was ultraliberal -- a socialist, in fact -- but the media handlers typically presented this as a conservative smear. Instead, they painted Obama as an aspiring moderate-Republican deficit reducer. Take New York Times economics writer David Leonhardt last August: "Obama's aides optimistically insist he will reduce it [the deficit], thanks to his tax increases on the affluent and his plan to wind down the Iraq war. Relative to McCain, whose promised spending cuts are extremely vague, Obama does indeed look like a fiscal conservative."
How ridiculous does that sound now? John McCain probably would have been a moderate Republican president. But the idea that President Obama would turn out to be a stronger fiscal conservative than McCain should inspire a pink-faced laughing fit at the preposterousness of The New York Times.
Now that Obama's emphatic ultraliberalism is the elephant in the room, and liberals are cheering the reversal of everything Ronald Reagan tried to accomplish economically, the media still don't want to call it liberal. Instead, it's a pollster's list of positive adjectives: bold, ambitious, audacious and even breathtaking.
Here's how Charles Babington of the Associated Press began his analysis: "Breathtaking in its scope and ambition, President Barack Obama's agenda for the economy, health care and energy now goes to a Congress unaccustomed to resolving knotty issues and buffeted by powerful interests that oppose parts of his plan." Obama is the giant with breathtaking ambition, while members of Congress are mere mortals unaccustomed to accomplishment. Obama's agenda is not described as liberal. Instead, it's a plan "to undo major elements of Ronald Reagan's conservative movement."
His AP colleague Liz Sidoti echoed the meaningless chatter: "Barack Obama is embracing the worst economic conditions in a generation as an opportunity to advance an audacious agenda that, if successful, could reshape the country for decades to come."
Rush Limbaugh defends Rubio's debate answer: He's absolutely right that Obama knows what he's doing | Allahpundit
Time for Team Hillary to break out the gender card for young liberal women who prefer Sanders | Allahpundit

Volume 16, Number 6—June 2010
Etymologia: Lassa [lah sə] virus
On This Page
This virus was named after the town of Lassa at the southern end of Lake Chad in northeastern Nigeria, where the first known patient, a nurse in a mission hospital, had lived and worked when she contracted this infection in 1969. The virus was discovered as part of a plan to identify unknown viruses from Africa by collecting serum specimens from patients with fevers of unknown origin. Lassa virus, transmitted by field rats, is endemic in West Africa, where it causes up to 300,000 infections and 5,000 deaths each year.

Scarsdale student named Phillips Student Fellow at Bates
Margot Fine, a Bates College sophomore from Scarsdale, N.Y., has been named a 2000 Phillips Student Fellow and will receive a grant of up to $10,000 to live with a Nepali family in a rural village in the Himalayan mountains while working with the village on community development for six weeks this summer.
Fine, who is majoring in a self-designed interdisciplinary program "Faith/Spirituality and Social Justice" at Bates, will engage in a personal retreat at the Kopan Buddhist Monastery in Boudhanath, practicing Buddhism and attempting to understand how Engaged Buddhism and Jewish Buddhism deviate from their original traditions. She is seeking to understand what is drawing Jews to seek fulfillment in Buddhism and, in a larger sense, why Westerners are espousing Buddhism over traditional Western faiths.
Phillips Student Fellows each receive grants of up to $10,000 for summer projects in service-learning, career exploration, research or some combination of the three in international and other culturally distinct settings. The Phillips Student Fellowships, along with the Phillips Faculty Fellowships and Phillips Professorships at Bates, are part of the Phillips Endowment Program, an ambitious initiative of awards, honors and opportunities for faculty and students funded by a $9-million endowment bequest to the college from former Bates President Charles F. Phillips, and his wife, Evelyn Minard Phillips, in 1999.
The Phillips bequest is believed to be the largest gift ever from a U.S. college president and spouse to his or her institution.

Nepal: Monitoring the healthcare system
28-03-2002 News Release 02/13
For the second time in four months, the ICRC has delivered a surgical kit for treating up to 100 war-wounded to the Bheri Zonal Hospital in Nepalgunj, some 600 km west of Kathmandu. The kit weighs half a tonne, and contains instruments, antibiotics, fluids and dressing material. It will enable the hospital to stabilize casualties until they can be evacuated to Kathmandu for further treatment. The Bheri hospital was chosen to receive these supplies because of its capacity to treat war wounded. Its location in mid-western Nepal, where several clashes have recently taken place, allows casualties to be taken there by road or air, even from remote areas.
Fighting between Maoist insurgents and Nepalese security forces broke out last November following the collapse of a four-month ceasefire. More than 1,800 people have died and several hundred have been wounded, according to local sources. The heaviest fighting took place in the Sulukhumbu region east of Kathmandu, at the start of the Himalayan Trail, and in Achham district in western Nepal, where 140 security personnel were killed. There have also been sporadic clashes in other parts of the country.
The ICRC has been working in Nepal since 1998 and had already carried out a survey of 64 medical facilities throughout the country in preparation for such an escalation. " Since the latest string of attacks, the medical team has been keeping a close watch on how medical structures are adapting to the changing situation " , stated Jean-Jacques Bovay, head of the ICRC in Kathmandu. " The aim of monitoring the medical structures is to keep track of whether people can obtain medical care, which is one of our top priorities."
In August 1998, acting on the basis of its right of humanitarian initiative, the ICRC requested permission from the Nepalese government to carry out protection work in connection with the security situation. To date, its main activities in Nepal have been to visit people detained in connection with the conflict and to monitor the capacity of the healthcare system to adapt to changes in the situation. The ICRC has also been teaching combatants and civilians about humanitarian law, and has recently embarked on a countrywide campaign to raise awareness of how international humanitarian law applies in the Nepalese context.

The Bird
He caught an enormously, tiny bird,
in a gigantic cage.
It was very,
very small,
with brown feathers,
and specks of tan.
This special bird,
was a Sparrow,
I'm sure.
It hopped
and hopped
back and forth
within the cage,
not able to fly away.
He didn't mean to catch
this tiny bird.
The cage wasn't meant
for that,
more mice,
than anything.
So this bird,
more frightened
than any creature
I've seen before,
looked at me,
as I knelt down
to its level.
I looked at this beautiful,
terrified animal,

February 13, 2016
Michigan State center Derrick Nix has waived the formal reading of charges related to his arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle with the presence of drugs and marijuana possession.
The 21-year-old waived the arraignment in an Ingham County district court and must appear at a pre-trial hearing on an undetermined date.
Court records say Nix was arrested about 12:20 a.m. Tuesday and posted bond later that day. He has been suspended indefinitely from the basketball team.
Nix averaged 8.1 points this season as a junior and his improvement was a big reason why Michigan State tied for first in the Big Ten and won the conference tournament. The Spartans lost in the NCAA Sweet 16.

I got a whole lot of love from Arkansas today.
Thank you, Robin! You're the sweetest thing since sugar.
I got a whole lot of love from Arkansas today.
Thank you, Robin! You're the sweetest thing since sugar.
NOLA W3D6 called for 4 miles. I didn't do 4 miles. I did 7 miles in honor of Robin's Birthday. Today, I got better and here's why:
Mile 01- 12:41
Mile 02- 14:22
Mile 03- 14:33
Mile 04- 15:45
Mile 05- 15:11
Mile 06- 13:15
Mile 07- 14:38
Total- 1:40:23 (A 7 miler PR too)
Today, I used Gu Gel at the 30 and 60 minute marks. The second Gu really kicked it into high gear for me. I was feeling amazing. My calves were really starting to feel it around mile 6 though (as it usually does). It's all good though.
The first 5K was around 43 minutes when I looked down at my watch. I PR'd my 10K by 3:30ish. Hells yeah.
Today, I pushed myself. I have runners high and there was no race. I feel ontop of the world and it feels amazing!
PS: I was really scared that I was going to have a case of the smits today. First time ever because my stomach was no bueno this morning. I was also afraid of taking the Gu because of that. But, I can assure you all I didn't get the smits FTW!
10/35 miles done for Robin's Birthday!
(aka Robin & Rachel)
Kill it this weekend. We all know you will and can't wait to hear all about it.
Thanks for the constant inspiration.
All of us
I just sat and ate 5 of these little bastards. 3 = 220 calories. Did you know you can buy them by the case (550 individual truffles) for only $126.50 on their web site?
In other news …
3.5 miles in 35 minutes for a 350 calorie burn for Ms. Robin's big 35! Hope you have an awesome birthday!
Unfortunately, every single run hurts. What up, leg? Get your act together!
For Robin's birthday, she sent me a present. I know, what? Because I am so generous, I will share it with all of you. I think more people than just myself can benefit from this priceless gift:
Hi! I know you probably don't need any pep talk from me but after reading your post this morning I just felt the need to send you a message. I don't even know what to say except this. You are an amazing woman who has amazing drive and determination. I've seen you accomplish so much and bust through plateaus and not only reach your goals but shatter them with incredible passion. You know the things you need to do and being consistent is key. Don't be too hard on yourself. So many miles to be ran and so many miles to be biked. The holidays and winter months are hard on all of us. Trying to maintain is a nightmare with hectic schedules and all the wonderful things to be enjoyed. There will be buckets of sweat and salt poured forth this summer. Knowing that helps us keep some perspective and see the big picture. I'm glad you had a great weekend and enjoyed it. The damage will be undone and you will go on to reach new goals and inspire many. Keep kicking ass and taking names. Love, R
Please accept this gently-used message to try and pick yourself up with me and get back into the GROOVE OF AWESOME.
This morning, I was still putzing around, feeling like meh. Then I realized I hadn't exercised in 4 days. DUH! So there you go, my 3.5 seems like a poor excuse for a birthday present compared to this wonderful message.
Walden University
My first Xmas decoration for my tree. Thank you St.Jude and thank you Robin for raising money for the children.
Got home from work and was anxious to run. Forgot that my wife was leaving for a girl's night/dress up in PJs and drink wine night out. Her first in 4 years. I never mentioned my run, just kissed her goodbye and told her to have fun. She always says no to these invites so that I'm not "stuck" with feeding/watering/bedtime the boys by myself. I insisted weeks ago she say yes to this one. Then, I promptly forgot about it. I'm happy she went, though. She needs some girl time.
Tomorrow… tomorrow is mine come hell or high water.
Checked the mail pile, and there was a package for me. Inside? All of the awesome things I won in Robin's St. Jude giveaway/raffle! I won the cycling package. It had an insulated water bottle (which the 15 month old instantly staked a claim on):
There was also a bike gear bag, which was awesome, cause I was really needing one. The 4 year old grabbed it and asked what it was for. I was only half listening to him and said, "You put your junk in it". I looked over a little while later to see this:
I snapped a pic and asked him why he was doing that. "I'm putting my junk in it", was the reply. Oooof… Nikki teaches him to say "private parts". I have no idea where he heard "junk". I'm going to go ahead and blame my wife for that one anyway.
There were other things in the package, too, but the one that brought an unexpected smile to my face was this:
She didn't have to do this. But she did. She took the time to send us a card and 2 stickers celebrating my wife and my half marathon at Soaring wings. I was touched.
Robin is a sweet, thoughtful woman and I am so glad my wife and I were able to meet her in person.
So, although I was disappointed I didn't get to run tonight, this unexpected package cheered me right up. A big THANK YOU to Robin. You are awesome…..
I told myself (and no one else) I wanted to run 5K today. I got out to the path and got started. Within a few tenths of a mile I really felt the Chick-fil-a fries I ate at lunch (it was my month to use the coupon, so this is not secret fast food) and the running I did with the kids.
Instead of slacking off my pace, I remembered Robin's run this morning. Then I thought of what (actually whom) I run for. It's something I hadn't actually thought of before.
So then I kept pushing and ran for Robin
for you
for my Jeremy
for those just getting started
for those who can't
for my students
for all those here who have called me inspiring
for my friends and coworkers that might be inspired
for the pregnant woman who might consider choosing Jeremy and me to care for her unborn child
for our future children
for their children
I thought of all of these people.
Unfortunately, I was forced to make a stop after 2.1.
But instead of heading to my car afterwards, I went back out to the track and ran 1 more. I pushed with every ounce of energy I had left. I honestly don't think I have ever pushed that hard for that long.
2.1 in 17:20 (8:15 pace)
1.0 in 7:38
The combined 3.1 in 25:08 would've been a PB. I'm not there yet.
But I will be.
I just want to start out by saying, that I kicked my ass at the gym tonight. I met up with my friend Fatima and she actually started to show me strength training. So, I did some lifting and some machines. We concentrated on upper body. I have no upper body strength. Whoa! Don't ask me what I actually did but I can tell you I did this:
Then Fatima and I parted ways. She has leg and knee issues so she did the elliptical while I made my way to the treadmill. I put it on 4.5mph and started going. I was feeling good 5 minutes into it. So, I was like "go for the mile, no stopping." I did. Mile 1 was done in 13:20. As I came closer to finishing the first mile, I started thinking about Robin's post today. You know, this one. Earlier when I read it, I got choked up. Regardless, the post came to me as I was running. I decided before the mile one was up, that I was going to run for 2 miles straight. No walking.
I DID IT. THIS IS FOR YOU ROBIN AND THE CHILDREN OF ST. JUDE. The struggles that these kids go through is courage in itself. They were dealt hands that nobody should ever have to deal with. But, they have no choice. So, they must be strong. For them, I was strong tonight. I wanted to throw up before the end. But I didn't. If you keep pushing yourself, you'll get everything you want and then some!
2 Miles. 26:40 (13:20 pace). To you.
Caught a glimpse of my self in the mirror after a round of Robin's challenge.
Feeling pretty slender today!
3 rounds of Robin's challenge down. Hope to get breaks between meetings to continue.
Note the no butt, must do moar squats.
What have we here?!
(Yes, I check the mail with a sword in my hand. Am currently in the role of a pegged-leg ninja who just had a transplant. Trying out the new leg now to see if it balances properly, then we'll race it.)
Perfect juxtaposition.
I love when my dash is magic.
"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
—Sarah Williams
"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars." Og Mandino
To Robin, Audrey, and all those who seem to be walking in darkness, keep your head up and your eyes on the stars. Things will work out.
I love y'all.
When I turned on the car this morning, it was 16 degrees out. Thank God I went to the stores last night. Thank God I bought the ear warmers. Thank God I bought the headband. When I got home, I was just soaked in sweat. It was great.
I'm not going to bore you. So, if you'd like to read… take a peek!
michaeldoeslife replied to your post: Fact
I thought Robin was British.
Robin is a mystery to me. I used to think she lived in Arkansas, because she is close with Rach…but I have more recently figured out that she maybe lives in MS? No idea where….but I don't really know where anything is there anyways. And she is a student, but she also seems to have some kind of career already. But I could be totally wrong on all counts. And she is really into plants. I think.
mikeywantsitall replied to your photo: Time to rehearse Haydn: The Creation…
What? I actually kind of like it. Had never heard it before going into rehearsal (I know…I should have been more prepared) Unless you are booing that fact that rehearsal is happening at a really annoying time…but that is basically the only time orchestra rehearsal happens for me. Always evenings…
markicksass replied to your post: Fact
I don't even know who Drew is…or do I? Hmmm…
I thought Drew was Shortmom's husband. What does this all mean? …
My raffle prize arrived from Robin! :) I'm looking forward to using it!
Pretty much only posting this for David. Everyone else is pretty cool, though.
In response to Reluctant's crushes (who is notably absent from my own, but I digress):
"I actually made a crush list that wasn't my boyfriend's!"
You're #1, dude. NUMBER. ONE.
Hey, look what I got yesterday!
It's the iPod shuffle from Robin's raffle from her St. Jude fundraising. I asked her not to enter me, but she did anyway, and I won! I can't wait to use it. (I didn't get it until after my run, and I'm still figuring everything out.)
Thank you, Robin, for your generosity!
…at my office!
….and did 10 push ups!!
….and no one caught me!!!
Look what @Robin has us all doing!!!
This is a terrible pic… but hey, i'm in Red. Andddd… the shirt is wayyyy too big! :p It fits like a dress. I need new shorts too!
'Bout to workout, PEACE! :p

I have been with Microsoft since 2002, but I have been with Dynamics even longer, starting out with a Dynamics NAV partner in 1992. I currently lead the Partner Programs team in the US Dynamics organization and look forward to keeping in touch with the US Dynamics Partner Community on this blog.
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM product marketing team has published a new whitepaper focused on the impact of social technologies in the business environment.
You can learn more about this whitepaper as well as review additional Microsoft Dynamics CRM guidance by visiting the CRM Connection blog.
Microsoft is excited to announce our participation as a Visionary Sponsor of The Partner Event 2012 taking place September 9-11 in Fargo, ND.
It's a great opportunity for partners to get connected with partners and ISVs they work with to level set on how they can do business better together. The fall timing is also great because you've received inklings of Microsoft's strategy coming off of WPC 2012. You get almost two months to digest that content, and you're still in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
Having the event in Fargo also gives partners the opportunity to get connected with people on the Microsoft campus, and with the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift scheduled after The Partner Event this year, partners can leverage both events by sending multiple people to both conferences.
Personally, I like hearing the conversations that come from all sorts and sizes of partner organizations. In a discussion-oriented session, we get to hear real-life examples so we can go back and adjust things we've launched or take the next steps on something that we've been thinking about. I try to be a fly on the wall. I don't want to shift the conversation, but it's great to hear the commentary.
Jenny Davis from The Partner Channel shared this fabulous information below regarding the upcoming event. And being the lover of awesome Microsoft Dynamics related infographics, you definitely have to check this one out!
Take Three Days to Make a Difference
For three days in September, the best and brightest of the Microsoft Dynamics channel will be in Fargo building skills and sharing secrets. Skills for new approaches to sales, marketing, and leadership. Secrets that make them work better.
Get on the right track
Markets are changing. Buyers are changing. Whether you are in sales, marketing, or management you need the skills and knowledge to adapt to the changing business environment.
Three session-packed tracks with channel experts – people who understand your world – focused on Microsoft Dynamics partner sales, marketing and leadership challenges.
The multiplier effect
The sessions are great, but the greatest part is the multiplier effect you get from being in sessions with other partners – ISVs and VARs representing all the Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM products.
Partners from across the country, all passionate about what they do, in one place learning and sharing. The energy is electrifying. You don't want to miss the experience.
For a session list and more information, visit The Partner Event website.
Navigate to PartnerSource to review a wealth of information dedicated to the upcoming Microsoft Dynamics User Group Conferences being held October 15-19, 2012 in Seattle, WA.
These annual events – hosted by the independent user groups for Microsoft Dynamics AX (AXUG), Microsoft Dynamics CRM (CRMUG), Microsoft Dynamics GP (GPUG), and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (NAVUG) – empower users to connect, learn and share through peer-to-peer education and intimate networking opportunities.
On the page you'll find information regarding the user group conferences, special pre-conference partner-only events, and pre-conference training opportunities.
Also, to aid you with customer demand generation of the events, the User Group team has created partner marketing tools such as email invitations, article templates, and event overview slides.
All of the complete details are found on PartnerSource.
