Riffage, if you don't hurry up..
I'm going to make a goddamn clan page, then walk over to your house and kick the asses of the following people:
1. You
2. Hellbeard
3. raVen
4. AcrylicGuitar (I'll show you Thug Lovin, retard.)
5. Everyone with 'Darth' in their name
6. Guybrush Guy
7. SamNMax
8. JBlink
9. Young David
10. Metallus, by popular request, as he is to blame for the forum problems of everyone.
Riffage still hasn't responded to this thread. And I know for a fact that he's online. Right now. Still, I'm not going to tell him it's here, he can find it himself. And, when he does, we should all whinge at him, for answering the thread so late. Which is what I'm doing now. So maybe I should add some more complaints. I'll do it later. Unless, of course, Riffage hurries up and gets the clan ready. That's the problem with these so called "Monkey Island" enthusiasts nowadays. They're not enthusiastic. And if they are, they're usually incompotent or loud, and banned.
Even if the clans not ready yet, someone should organise get-togethers and training on specific games. Maybe I'll start a thread, although my organisational skills are not too great. And anyway, actually, that's a job for the people in charge, so I'll wait. Murray! Riff! Pedgey? Haven't seen him in a while.
Oh, We should all add [MIC] before our names, and speak with numbers in place of 13773r5.
The main reasons why MICP has been halted for so long...[list=1][*]Exams[*]Homework[*]Coursework[*]General Lack of time[*]HDD Wipe[*]Life[*]Clanbase[/list=1]
Unfortuantly everything has caved in on the project. ATM its on a state of holding, but doing what we can when we have some free time. We would be like glad if you could help out.
Also sue to clanbase being more popular as time goes on the actual use of MICP gets lower and lower. I will try to contiune work on the project but it will be slow. I would really like to be able to finish this as time goes on, but as i have said its going to be slow.
Unfinished Items...
The next thing your going to have to decide is, is the clan a serious one and entering the clanbase leage? or just a piss around and a general laugh. Im going to need feedback on this soon as i keep coding it. If its going to be a more fun loving clan ill have to remove or add new features.
I hope this answers some of your questions. If you want to ask anything please ask away, ill try to answer them. At the moment it *seems* like its just me running the whole place now. Ill try to get in touch with Murray-Mint and Pedgey. If i cant get either to come back i will be needing some new staff members. Unfortuantly im not the best php coder in the world, (thats murray) and pete was the designer. I would hopefully like to replace them if nesseccary to do so.
Please help if you can for the two jobs that *might* be on offer.
As unfortuantly i dont have enough time to forfill both jobs as i am currently undertaking other projects as time goes on. Please if you can help.
Thank You
Just before you decide to make funny stupid and idiotic posts id like to say one thing. Iv taken enough **** from the community over the past 6-7months, i dont exactly want anymore. I decided to make this to give something back to the community and not to get critisied over it, most people know what im talking about and im nto one who's going to revive the topic, iv had enough **** about it. It caused me a friend from all that fighting back then, i dont want to go through it again. Please consider this.
Isn't it best to start with the basics?
First of all, we need a bunch of people willing to play. We need to know what games they have, and what hours best suit them. Most importantly, some brilliant person(s) should be able to organize 'get-togethers' - they have bookable servers, right?
Basically, it's a matter of posting something along the lines of this in the forum:
"Well, I'll be on [Server] playing [Game] at [Time]. I'll probably leave that server at [Time]. We're playing on [Map]. The password is [Password]"
There should also be "official" get-togethers. With specially booked servers (?), set times, set games, etc.
THEN you start to build a website.
I think this project started off as a way of making the MIQC better, or diversifying it - and, should it have happened fast enough, I'm sure a lot of people would have moved straight from MIQC to the MICP and everyone would've continued on playing happily. Also, Im not sure, but I think MIQC closed - whether the reason was MICP or not, I'm unsure.
Now, it's taken too long, and there's a lot less interest in playing as a group because of the gap.
So, to recap. We need to:
>Find out who's interested
>Find out what games they have
>Play those games at suitable times.
Then build the website. Nobody cares if the website looks good. As long as there are people on servers killing each other, then that should be that.
Beam Me Up
Feel free to take a look at my cronically semi-finished website:
I'm sure this thing won't suffer the same fate though. ;P

text: Nov 17, 2012 01:07 LSU notebook: Recruit Johnson is academically cleared LSU notebook: Recruit Johnson is academically cleared Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- Drew Alleman kicks LSU's final field goal attempt, which was no good, as punter Brad Wing holds and tight end Chase Clement blocks Alabama defensive back Deion Belue late in the second half against Alabama on Nov. 3 at Tiger Stadium. BY SCOTT RABALAIS| Advocate sportswriter Comments LSU wide receiver recruit Avery Johnson was academically cleared to play and plans to enroll in January, according to his father, Patrick Peterson Sr. Johnson, younger brother of former LSU All-American Patrick Peterson, signed in February but was academically ineligible. He is playing this season at Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy. Since LSU ended up signing 21 players in February — four below the total allowed by the SEC — Johnson could count toward the 2012 class instead of 2013. Several other early enrollees could also be back counters, including junior college transfer receiver Quantavius Leslie, junior college tight end Logan Stokes, quarterbacks Hayden Rettig and Anthony Jennings, offensive tackle Ethan Pocic and defensive end Christian LaCouture. LSU has maintained contact with junior college prospect Fehoko Fanaika, a defensive lineman who also signed in February but was academically ineligible. Alleman tweaks technique LSU kicker Drew Alleman said his kicking coach — Chris Shaw, a former Louisiana-Lafayette kicker now with Kick Nation in Dallas — watched the Alabama game Nov. 3 on television and told his wife before the last field goal, "He's going to pull it left." That's what happened on the 45-yard try with 1:34 to play, a miss that set the stage for A.J. McCarron and the rest of the Alabama offense on its winning drive. Alleman said he takes three steps back and two to his left, but his last step to the side was short before the kick. He said the short step left him "tighter," so he pulled the kick. Just as Shaw predicted. "I really focused big time on that last week, and it's something I've got to continue to do in the future," Alleman said. Alleman finished the Alabama game 1-for-3 with a first-half miss from 54 yards but bounced back with a 3-for-3 effirt last week against Mississippi State. Shaw called Alleman three days after the Alabama loss and told him he watched the late field goal try "over and over." Seeing six LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo hasn't scored a touchdown since high school. He put himself in position to change that late in the first quarter of Saturday's win. With the Bulldogs nursing a 7-6 lead, Mississippi State running back Derrick Milton lost the ball deep the backfield. Mingo chased the bouncing ball and got his hands on it, but the former West Monroe track star couldn't tuck it away with 30 yards of open field in front of him. "I just knew it was going to bounce in my hands, and it actually did," Mingo said. "I just wasn't ready for it. Just overran it. It bounced right where I thought it would be." Linebacker Lamin Barrow was right behind him to pounce on the ball, leading to a Zach Mettenberger touchdown pass that gave LSU the lead for good. Meet you at the QB Mingo and fellow junior Sam Montgomery give LSU a pair of bookends projected to go early in the first round of the NFL draft this spring. On back-to-back plays late in Saturday's victory, Mingo and Montgomery showed why. Montgomery sacked State quarterback Tyler Russell on third-and-4 from the LSU 14, then Mingo dropped him on fourth-and-11. "I hadn't met the quarterback with my buddy in a long time," Montgomery said. "It really meant a lot to me." Montgomery has six sacks this season, and Mingo has four.

Emergency fund investing
Dear Dr. Don:
I have about $15,000 as an emergency fund. My bank's money market
account does not pay much interest. I am thinking about investing
this in an ultra-short, short-term or intermediate bond fund. Is
this a good idea?
Or should I go for a money market fund? I am looking
for liquidity, while getting a little better interest than I would
with CDs or a bank's money market accounts.
Kevin Cache
Dear Kevin,
An emergency fund is an important part of personal financial planning;
congratulations on having yours in place. One of the frustrations
with keeping the money in liquid investments is the lower yield
on short-term investments. Ideally you won't ever need this money,
so keeping it liquid seems like an expensive proposition.
There are a couple of approaches to
minimize the loss of interest income on the emergency
fund. One is to invest it in longer-term securities
and accept some risk if you need to cash in. For
example, you could invest in a five-year CD and
accept the interest penalty if you had to cash in.
You're picking up more interest, but
risk paying a penalty. Unlike investing in bonds,
you aren't facing price risk if interest rates go
higher. Non-negotiable FDIC-insured CDs don't face
price risk, just early withdrawal penalties.
Penalties for early withdrawal vary by bank, so make
sure you know the early withdrawal penalties for the CD you invest
in before you decide on this strategy. This Bankrate feature
discusses early withdrawal penalties in greater depth.
Alternately, you could invest in a laddered
CD portfolio where you have a CD rolling off every six months.
Bond mutual funds are another alternative. You can
choose the average maturity, credit risk and even investing in tax-free
municipal bond funds. I don't think they're as good a choice for
your emergency fund because the investment decisions and capital
gains management are left to the mutual fund manager.
You could be taking on more price risk than you envisioned,
if interest rates trend higher. (When interest rates go up, bond
prices go down.) Bond funds often aren't very tax efficient, creating
tax obligations that are outside your control.
Ultra-short and short-term bond funds have less price
risk than an intermediate term bond fund because their short-term
holdings aren't as volatile. An ultra-short fund will have an average
maturity of about six months. Stay away from bond funds that invest
in non-investment grade bonds because of the credit (default) risk.

I am experiencing an issue with Windows 7 Professional. The computer experiences some issues randomly (internet connectivity, slows down, etc). At this point I will try to shutdown the computer, which ends up taking at least 15 minutes. The computer logs out and displays "Shutting down" for 15 minutes. Eventually it will shutdown. When it comes back up it displays an error message and indicates that there is a dump file.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already rolled back recent updates but it doesn't seem to have helped. I can link the dmp files somewhere if they would be of help.

Taylor Craig scored just 1:11 into the game on a feed by Stephanie Giannopoulos, who tallied three assists on the night.

Megan Wickens scored the only goal in the second, beating goaltender Ashley Holt to increase the Colgate lead to 5-0.
Princeton finally broke through the Raiders defense 18 seconds into the third, when Kelly Cooke tallied the lone goal to beat goaltender Ashlynne Rando, who stopped 18 out of 19 shots. Brittany Phillips finished the game's scoring at 2:35, tallying the the sixth and final goal of the game for Colgate.

Friday night, Michigan State will try to make history once again.
On Wednesday, the betting odds were released on the No. 4 seed Michigan State taking on the No. 1 seed in Virginia and the Spartans are 2-point chalk against the top-seeded Cavaliers.
In the ten times that Michigan State has faced a No. 1 seed in the tournament since 1996, they've come out at 3-7 - not the most spectacular record. But this Friday's match up marks a historic occasion, being that it is only the second time that a No. 4 seed has been favored over a No. 1 seed since 1996.
The Spartans do have recent history on their side in the fact that the last time this happened, No. 4 Louisville was favored over No. 1 Washington and the Cardinals ended up coming out on top back in 2005.
Michigan State could be in a position right now that they don't often find themselves in - and may not be completely comfortable with: As the favorite.
Over the past few years and through numerous tournaments in the past, the Spartans have been vocal about their thriving in the underdog role. Even as they are about to face a No. 1 seed as a No. 4 seed, MSU is still favored to win, which is something that head coach Tom Izzo has said he's never cared about in the past. Still, in his classic ways, Izzo gave all credit where credit was due when he was asked about how good their Sweet 16 opponent Virginia really is.
"Why are they a No. 1 seed? Because of the way they defend and rebound the ball," Izzo said. "This is one of the best defensive teams in the whole country, if not the best. And they are big.
"They're a very big, physical, strong team; people say they look like a Big Ten team. This is a bump and grind team."
Despite what the oddsmakers and betting experts say, Izzo still loves to talk like his team is an underdog going into every game - sometimes, even, appearing humble to a fault.
"I've gotten a chance to get to look at a ton of film on them now," Izzo said. "Knowing (head coach) Tony Bennett, I have a great appreciation for what Tony has done. When you win the ACC and the conference tournament, that bodes well for you. They got guys who have been on the All-ACC team and the All-Defensive team.
"They've gotten it covered in every way."

This question already has an answer here:
whenever I make a new request in my application it takes to long to respond for the first time and all the subsequent requests are faster. If I do it again after some hours or tomorrow again it takes more time to respond and same subsequent requests respond quickly. I am not sure why this is happening every now and then even though the server is not restarted. I can understand if it is issue of explain plan creation. But the explain plan is created only once for the first time and it should not be slow there after. But I am keep on experiencing periodically even though the server is not restarted.

text: RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil and a profoundly horrifying experience. [[MindRape It can have serious effects on the survivor's mental health]], sometimes triggering or exacerbating disorders like depression and/or leading to SanitySlippage, as can AttemptedRape. TruthInTelevision insofar as many victims of sexual assault have some form of PTSD, and their recovery is often hindered if the criminal is not brought to justice and/or they [[ThereAreNoTherapists do not feel they have the sympathy and support of others]] (close to them). That said, most victims manage to keep themselves together as they cope with the event(s) and many others regain emotional control at some stage in the recovery process -- very few people actually go mad (and stay that way) as a result of being sexually assaulted. In all cases, one thing is true, however -- the personality of the victim, and not the nature of the sexual assault(s)[[note]] Not to say it's totally irrelevant, but its importance is often overstated. While there is an 'average' reaction -- calm, deep hurt -- [[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics it's just an average.]] It doesn't represent any one person's reaction in particular[[/note]], determines the victim's reaction to and ability to cope with the trauma ([[NoSell or their lack thereof, for a lucky few]])[[note]]Not to say they weren't hurt by it or don't seek justice, just that they don't have mental-health problems as a result of their experiences.[[/note]]. Interestingly, the assumption that this trope is true is actually deeply unhelpful. As we said, most people take sexual assault pretty calmly -- so if most people believe that all victims of sexual assault are deeply unbalanced/driven insane by it, this means they think that anyone who ''doesn't'' have this reaction (i.e. most victims) is lying[[note]]Of course, unfortunately the other side is that a common effect of such trauma is a decision to lie and bottle it up; how many victims are truly not traumatized is difficult to measure.[[/note]]. While this isn't too great on its own, there's also the wider implications of that. If people automatically assume someone is lying if they take it calmly, then at least a few people are going to reason that they might as well not report the damned thing because no-one is going to believe them. ''This'' is bad because it means the crime and the criminal are never investigated and, in the eyes of everyone but the victim and criminal, [[KarmaHoudini the crime was never committed]]. Perhaps more importantly, the victim is also less likely to seek counselling for the trauma and this will let any lingering problems it stirs up, well, [[ShapedLikeItself linger]] and fester. In a way this can be something of a SelfFulfillingProphecy for the whole 'RapeLeadsToInsanity' thing as one would expect that lowered counselling rates would result in greater mental illness among the untreated trauma-victims. A final problem comes back to the 'individuality' thing: there isn't a One True Path ([[TradeSnark tm]]) to recovery from trauma (of any kind) -- some people who "compartmentalise" the trauma or who dissociate from it (basically, they [often very successfully] avoid ever thinking about it) might benefit from therapy directed to help them acknowledge and therefore help diminish the pain and emotions of it, whereas others would expressly ''not'' benefit from such therapy because they have the opposite problem and ''just can't stop thinking about it''. Yet, unfortunately, there are plenty of people willing to be judgmental about, if not sexual assault itself, the "proper" way to think about and recover from it!Compare ShellShockedVeteran (another common portrayal of PTSD), BreakTheCutie, RapeAsDrama, RapeAsBackstory.[[noreallife]]----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* Can be found disturbingly often in hentai. Even more horrific (when viewed from a non-sexual point of view), is that it more-often-than-not leads to a disturbing mix of DefeatMeansFriendship and StockholmSyndrome, where the [[{{Netorare}} raped individual becomes completely loyal to his/her rapist]], helping them to commit further atrocities. And this is all done for the sake of helping people masturbate.* ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'': Kagerou was [[BrokenBird never very stable to begin with]], and [[spoiler:getting raped and brutally tortured by Tenzen drove her off the deep end completely]].* In the ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' 2003 animé, it was implied that Rose was raped by Amestris soldiers.

[[spoiler:It '''almost''' worked.]]* ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'': One of the factors that made Genkaku AxCrazy was how he was raped as a teenager.* In ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'', episode 8 shows that [[spoiler:Alois was raped by the former Lord Trancy.]] It's implied that this helped make him so AxCrazy -- he's shown to have been a little off-kilter even before the event, having joked about his entire village dying and happily looted their corpses when they actually did, but his violent tendencies and compulsive promiscuity seem to date from it.* In ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', rape and torture is implied to have been what made [[CreepyTwins Hansel and Gretel]] so AxCrazy.** Something of an unusual case of this trope, as the rape and torture were used more to condition the children than to break their minds. Hansel and Gretel were so crazy because raping, torturing, and killing were the only ways to avoid being raped, tortured, and killed. In a horrifying (but textbook) example of operant conditioning, the constant negative reinforcement led directly to their psychotic behavior. The truly horrifying thing is that this is the natural human response.** Subverted with Revy. Rape didn't make her crazy, but turned her from an optimistic, religious child to a [[BrokenBird spiteful]], gun-crazy, [[FaithHeelTurn God-hating]], [[HiredGun gun-for-hire.]]* In ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane'', Suzu becomes AxCrazy and a DepravedHomosexual after an old man rapes him.* Legato Bluesummers from the ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' manga is shown to have been raped (possibly numerous times) by the town mayor, or something like a mayor. As you might guess, he's now quite AxCrazy.* [[spoiler:[[BrokenBird Tsubaki Kasugano - The 6th]]]] of ''Manga/MiraiNikki''. [[spoiler:She was kept as a mix of SexSlave and puppet leader by a ReligionOfEvil.]]* In ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', [[spoiler:Alucard, aka Vlad Tepes Dracul of Wallachia]] was sexually abused as a child during his time spent as a political hostage for his father under the Ottoman Empire by the sultan. Currently, he's clearly off his rocker.* In ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'', [[{{Yandere}} Kotonoha's]] mental and emotional breakdown hits her fully after she's raped by [[spoiler:her StalkerWithACrush, Makoto's best friend Taisuke.]]* In ''Manga/SakuraGari'', a big reason Souma is so messed up and a DepravedBisexual is because of all the rape and other trauma he endured in his past.* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Asuka crosses the DespairEventHorizon and ends up catatonic after her MindRape. By WordOfGod we're supposed to understand that she literally gets raped. Several dubs/scanslations have her actually say "I've been raped/violated!" and "it's raping/defiling my mind/soul!" as she's psychically tortured by the Angel.* Much like Souma from ''Sakura Gari'' above, this is one of the reasons why Gilbert from ''Manga/KazeToKiNoUta'' is so utterly messed up: In his youth, he suffered rape and other kinds of trauma.** Auguste and Rosemariné (to an extent) as well, as [[spoiler:Auguste was raped by his stepbrother and Rosemariné was raped by Auguste when Rosemariné was fifteen]].* Hinako from ''Manga/BitterVirgin'' was traumatised by [[spoiler:years of sexual abuse]] at the hands of her stepfather. This severely messed with her mental state and caused her to develop an aversion to men and HatesBeingTouched except by Daisuke. She gets better through her relationship with Daisuke.* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', both Miaka and Yui experience rape attempts and go through BreakTheCutie processes as a result. They also believe they actually got raped at some point and experience significant periods of depression and self-harm as a result.* In ''Manga/CountCain'', Augusta went insane after giving birth to her brother's ChildByRape and had to be institutionalized. When Cain, not knowing she was his mother as well as his aunt, went to visit her in secret, she freaked out and [[DrivenToSuicide threw herself out the window]]. At the end of the series, [[spoiler:we learn that this is a subversion. While Augusta really did go insane afterwards, she had been more than willing to sleep with her brother all along.]]* ''Manga/SensualPhrase'': In the manga, Aine's raped by a high-ranked executive who had a beef against Sakuya. Poor girl nearly splinters mentally after that.** Zigzagged all over the place in ''Manga/HaouAiren''. [[spoiler:Reilan was driven to bitterness and insanity after she gets gangraped by the mooks of her fiancé Hakuron's rival and forced into prostitution]], and she gets so broken that [[spoiler:she invokes the trope via setting her love rival Kurumi to be gangraped in front of Hakuron himself to specifically mess with the girl's mind. Even when Kurumi is rescued, Reilan uses this as a part of a ''ThanatosGambit'' as well, so she gets broken anyway -- but by the end, she gets ''somewhat'' better.]] And also, [[spoiler:Kurumi is raped ''by Hakuron himself'' in front of a newfound friend... and ''that friend'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation is the one who goes crazy instead]], which leads him to ultimately [[TheHeroDies shoot Hakuron dead]].]]* ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'': In the manga, Jeremy is repeatedly raped and beaten by his step-father, Greg Roland, which [[spoiler:eventually drives him to tamper with Greg's car, killing him.]] For the rest of the series, Jeremy is haunted by images of Greg talking to him, leading him to become [[spoiler:a drug addict and a prostitute in an attempt to forget.]]* ''Manga/AngelSanctuary'': [[spoiler:Sevotharte, a.k.a. Lailah]] was raped by jealous co-workers, which led to... [[TraumaCongaLine several]] [[DealWithTheDevil bits]] [[ANaziByAnyOtherName of]] [[MoralEventHorizon nastiness]].* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':** Overlaps with [[spoiler:OrphanageOfFear ''and'' BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil]] in the case of [[spoiler:Miyo Takano]] in the manga version.** It is implied that [[spoiler: Rena's rampage in Ibaraki was sparked by a rape attempt by the three boys she injured]], [[HatePlague but there were other]] [[ParentalAbandonment contributing factors]].* [[spoiler:Tamura]] from ''Manga/BokuraNoHentai''. He's the most unhinged [[spoiler:of the protagonists]] and displays behaviors [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior unhealthy]] for a 13 - 15 year old. It's shown he has repressed memories of a neighbor who made him crossdress and molested him as a young child.* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':** Nutcracker is a promiscuous scantily dressed ghoul who preys on men and women. She once ate a beautiful woman's face and has the standard attack of stomping on a man's genitals and sucking them up. It's implied she was sexually assaulted in the past to get money when we see her thinking "I need money" when looking up at three guys with slasher smiles.** Tooru Mutsuki is implied to have been raped by his father after he physically abused him by holding his head under water and later [[StalkerWithACrush Torso]] as well. The first event is implied to have been the reason Mutsuki decided to live as a male and is why he finds MaleGaze to be disgusting. The second event makes him break down in tears and believe that he's cursed because of him being taken advantage of by men in his life, namely his father and Torso.** In one scene we see Big Madam fingering Juuzou's mouth while talking about how pretty her "Rei-chan" is and then reaching down to grope his genitals beneath his dress prior to [[GroinAttack castrating him with a hammer]]. It's this implied sexual torture as well as confirmed physical that made Juuzou lose his sanity, though he gets better with [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Shinohara's influence]].[[/folder]][[folder:Fan Fiction]]* The ''Series/{{CSI}}'' fanfic "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4828756/1/Face_The_Music Face the Music]]" by Elm22. Granted, part of Grissom's mental affliction was the torture that went with the rape, but the rape still played a big part in the problems he struggled with.* Light in the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanfic "Broken"* Maka and admittedly [[spoiler:Soul]] in the ''Manga/SoulEater'' fanfiction "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6340224/1/Scars_and_Stitches Scars and Stitches]]".* Gamzee in {{Fanfic/Hivefled}}, sort of. There are definitely other factors involved (such as the non-sexual [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil torture]] that accompanied it, building up an immunity to [[FantasticDrug sopor slime]], and highbloods tending to be a little 'off' anyway), but the rape ''really'' isn't helping things.* Averted in ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act III''. Aside from having to be healed after taking a paralyzing hit to the spine, Tsukune walks away from getting raped by a [[DemonicPossession ghoul-infected Kokoa]] none the worse for the wear.* This played with in Gensokyo20XX, with Ran and Yukari at different points. According to WordOfGod, this would be a tad downplayed, as Yukari's experiences did have an effect on psyche, as some of her then mental illness did point to that. This was later elaborated on in the ''Gensokyo Diaries'', when she placed in an asylum so she could learn how to readjust and get counseling for her trauma or, as she calls it, "mental difficulties". On the note of the Ran, this subverted initially in that she was almost raped but apparently played straight after she was raped which leave her cataleptic. Later on, played straight, it becomes apparent she is suffering [[spoiler: from a form of [[https://ohl.rainn.org/online/resources/how-long-to-recover.cfm RTS]]]]* Some [[RecursiveFanfiction fan written sequels]] for the ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' fancomic called the "Financial Crisis Gang-Rape" will explore this, either with the victim (America) turning into an [[UpToEleven extreme]] StepfordSmiler, or just becoming flat out AxCrazy and taking bloody, violent revenge on his assailants.* The first part of the FanFic/{{Ipseity}} series has Bucky sexually abused by his captors, which leads to him developing [[SplitPersonality DID]], along with a few other mental disorders among the other personalities.* ''Very'' [[CommonMarySueTraits common]] trait of many a MarySue or (less commonly) MartyStu. [[/folder]][[folder:Film]]* In the classic silent film ''Film/TheWind'', Creator/LillianGish, who is already being driven around the bend by the neverending titular wind, finally cracks completely when the bad guy rapes her.* The sister of the {{Anti Hero}}ine in the ''DirtyHarry'' sequel ''Film/SuddenImpact'' becomes catatonic after the two of them are gang-raped.* Subverted in ''Film/TheGeneralsDaughter''. It turns out that [[spoiler:it wasn't her brutal gang rape during military school that lead to the late Elisabeth Campbell's SanitySlippage. [[ParentalBetrayal The betrayal of her General father]], who refused to investigate the crime further because he thought they wouldn't be able to apprehend the suspects and because he allowed himself to be bought out by his own superiors, was the event that broke her mind and sent her into a downward spiral]].* Most RapeAndRevenge films, though some victims (like the ones in ''Torched'' and ''Baise Moi'') go a bit more violently psychotic than others, their newfound bloodlust not being restricted to just their rapists.* [[spoiler:Elizabeth Hurley's character]] in ''Film/MyFavoriteMartian''.* Some theories about ''Film/MulhollandDrive'' argue that childhood abuse may have attributed to the heroine's high dream of becoming an actress which ultimately ended in failure and depression.* In ''Film/LaPielQueHabito'', Norma's (near) rape left her in a traumatic state where she wouldn't even recognize her father anymore and which ultimately made her commit suicide.* A variant in ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': Judge Turpin drugged Barker's wife and raped her. Afterwards, she [[spoiler:AttemptedSuicide, which likely gave her physical brain-damage and led to her becoming a crazy derelict]]. The insanity is still causally connected to the rape, but with an extra step in between.* ''Film/ISpitOnYourGrave'': After Jennifer is brutally gang raped it causes her to lose it and get revenge on her attackers by horrifically torturing them to death.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* Averted in ''Literature/DragonBones'': No rape victim ever becomes ax-crazy, and the fact that Ward's mother is TheOphelia is not only due to (implied) marital rape, but the overall abusiveness of her husband and her own drug abuse that resulted from it. Some people behave in a seemingly irrational way, like [[spoiler: Garranon]] who is in a relationship with a man who is responsible for the murder of his father and his own rape, but apart from such isolated coping mechanisms, the characters get to keep their sanity. * ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfThomasCovenant'' has this as a major theme. Covenant rapes a girl early in his first visit to The Land, and it haunts him throughout the ensuing stories. Part of the consequences is that Lena (the girl) definitely loses it because of the rape.* ''Literature/TenderIsTheNight'': Nicole's sexual relationship with her father when she was a teenager (hence statutory rape) leads to her becoming schizophrenic.* ''{{Speak}}'': The book centers around a teenager named Melinda, who's just entered the 9[[superscript:th]] grade. She's not exactly the most popular kid in school, due almost entirely to her calling the police at a WildTeenParty last summer. After the events of said party, Melinda goes from a bright, outgoing, friendly teenager to a bitter, angry, depressed one. Her grades go down the toilet, her parents are alarmed, and Melinda can't find the words to tell anyone what really happened; eventually, she [[TheVoiceless stops speaking almost entirely]]. The plot mostly centers around Melinda's gradual decline, up until TheReveal of how she [[spoiler:was raped by Andy]], and then her gradual climb out of the hole. * Nimue in ''Literature/TheWarlordChronicles'' wasn't the most stable person around to begin with, but her rape at the hands of King Gundleus pushed her over the edge. When she got over the worst trauma, she was actually grateful in a way, as a great priestess must pass through three severe trials on their path to true power according to her beliefs, and the rape counted for two of them. But it doesn't prevent her from exacting revenge brutal enough to make battle-hardened warriors cringe when she gets Gundleus in her hands. * In ''Literature/ThePerksOfBeingAWallflower'', [[spoiler:Charlie's aunt was raped as a young girl, which led to her having serious psychological issues, which is why she herself molested Charlie.]]* Justified in ''Literature/CodexAlera'', in which Odiana was driven mad by being raped while wearing a discipline collar just as her powers as TheEmpath were coming in. Being forced to feel pleasure, both due to the discipline collar and being able to feel what her rapists were feeling broke her mind, and left her the AxCrazy PsychoForHire [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] she is today.* In the second book of ''Literature/TheSwordOfTruth'' series, [[spoiler:a queen (Kahlan's sister)]] is [[PrisonRape left in a prison for a few days with several criminals]]. She is rescued right before an execution. At first, she's catatonic, then suicidal, then she seems to recover, but ends up incapable of fighting the very enemies who threw her in the prison.* Zarate Arkham in Daniel Gonzalez�s horror novel ''Un grito en las tinieblas'' was raped by her father, causing her several psychological problems and was submitted once in a mental institution. This is a major plot in the novel. * Nadine Cross become catatonic after being forcibly impregnated by Randall Flagg in ''Literature/TheStand''.[[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* Jan from ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' was an AlphaBitch before she was raped. Afterwards, she turned crazy.* In ''Series/{{Oz}}'', Beecher's rape at the hands of Schillinger definitely didn't do any favors for his mental health.** Same deal with Cyril.** Adebisi brutally rapes the semi-conscious Schibetta at one point. As a result, Schibetta, traumatized by the rape, begins losing his mind and is transferred to the psych ward.* "Revenge", the very first story on ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'', played on this idea without using the R word. A woman already recovering from a nervous breakdown is "assaulted" in her trailer. Her husband looks to avenge her by killing her assailant. One day, she points the man out to her husband, and he does the deed. [[spoiler:Then she points to another man, and another, and another.]]* Darcy from ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' is date raped at a party and later contracts Chlamydia. Afterword, what was originally an innocent Christian school girl quickly loses her mind and pretty much becomes a ticking time bomb of hell. She slices her wrists, nearly slices her neck (before cutting off a chunk of her hair), and even lies to the school administrators that a teacher who was trying to help her through it all had molested her, resulting in his suspension. * An episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'' (Behave) has probably the most justified version of this ever seen. The victim of the week was an ordinary woman with an ordinary job and dreams and the like until she was assaulted several years in the past by the VillainOfTheWeek. The aggressor was never caught, but she moved on, went to college, and had just about graduated when the same man found her and assaulted her again, having tracked her down using a stolen driver's license he had taken the first time he attacked her. As far as the after-assault investigation went, same result. Far more traumatized this time, she moved across the country, slowly recovered, got engaged, and was just a couple weeks away from being married... when the same man tracked her down ''again''. The stress and trauma eventually broke apart her engagement and the victim became a total recluse, working from home, having groceries delivered, not leaving her apartment more than once a month if she could possibly help it, and basically dealing with a full dose of the most High Octane ParanoiaFuel imaginable... until during the one day she absolutely had to leave her home for something work-related, the man finds her '''yet again''', this time beating her bloody in the process, which is what leads into the start of the episode. As it happens, the villain was a successful travelling executive who ''had a collection'' of these women across the country, who used their stolen [=IDs=] to track them down and assault them repeatedly until he became the first thing they think of when they wake up and the last thing they think of when they go to sleep, feeding his ego with the idea that every minute of their lives revolves around what he's done to them and what he'll eventually do again. Even for [=SVU=] villains, he is quite beyond the pale.* Brother Justin has this effect on several young women in ''Series/{{Carnivale}}''. It's implied to be at least partially due to his nature as the AntiChrist, although there are also visible bruises showing that physical abuse is also part of it.* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' episode "A Stitch in Time", where a woman is raped/assaulted as a teen and grows up to be a mentally-unbalanced scientist who builds a time machine and uses it to go back and execute serial killers before they target anyone. Her ensuing RippleProofMemory does not help with her ongoing mental stability.[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* In the ''ThreeDaysGrace'' music video "Never Too Late", a woman is almost driven to suicide (she works through her issues, though), and we learn that she became that way as a result of possible physical and sexual abuse at the hands of a man in a striped sweater.[[/folder]][[folder:Theater]]* In ''AStreetcarNamedDesire'', Blanche's descent into insanity becomes especially evident after [[spoiler:Stanley rapes her]].[[/folder]]%% No real life examples, please!----

John Milton Brannan
Jul. 1, 1819
Dec. 16, 1892
Civil War Union Brigadier General. Born in the District of Columbia, he would, at the age of 18, serve as a messenger in Congress. He so impressed Indiana Congressman Ratliff Boon that Boon raised a petition among other Representatives to have him admitted to West Point; therefore his appointment reads "from Indiana." He graduated 23rd in the class of 1841 and went into a lifelong artillery career. He won citations for his fighting in the Mexican War and rose to the rank of Captain in the Regular Army before 1861. On September 28, 1861, he was made Brigadier General of Volunteers and sent to the tropical outpost of Key West, Florida, the next spring. He distinguished himself on the Florida mainland in a combat sometimes called the Battle of Jacksonville, which began as an assault on heavy gun emplacements on Florida's St. John's River. It was his first real combat experience leading infantry and, in a time of few Federal successes, it brought him notice and a brevet to Lieutenant Colonel in the Regular service. Later, in Port Royal, South Carolina, he won attention in expeditions against Confederates at Pocotaligo. He was next assigned to the Army of the Ohio and commanded an infantry division under Major General William S. Rosecrans. He served through the Tullahoma Campaign to Chickamauga, and in the latter battle saw the fiercest combat of his life. On the morning of September 19, 1863, he was dispatched on an aggressive reconnaissance of the Confederate right, which started an intense shoving match with Confederates in his front. The afternoon of the following day found him along the last Union defense line at Horseshoe Ridge with Major General George H. Thomas, and with most of his army routed behind him. He survived the fight and went on to Chattanooga. In the repercussions following the Chickamauga debacle, and despite another Regular Army brevet for bravery, he was relieved from infantry command and appointed chief of artillery for the Army of the Cumberland. In that post he fought through the Georgia battles to Atlanta and oversaw the construction of the Union defenses there. He spent the rest of the war in administrative work, and on January 23, 1865, he was brevetted Major General of Volunteers. As an acknowledgment of his gallantry in the fighting to Atlanta and for all services rendered during the war, he was brevetted Major General in the Regulars on March 13, 1865. He served on in the artillery until he was retired at the mandatory age of 62 to New York City. Here, he would later died and be buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Brooklyn; later he was reinterred to his alma mater, West Point.

LG VS870 shows up, possibly Verizon's Escape
Back in September of last year, AT&T launched the LG Escape – a midrange Android smartphone with the model number P870.
Now an LG VS870 has been spotted doing its thing over at the FCC and WPC. VS is what LG's Verizon models usually start with, and the VS870 is carrying all the necessary bands and connectivity for it to be headed to Big Red indeed.
Verizon's version of the LG Escape (which will undoubtedly be launched under a different name) should be the successor to the LG Lucid which arrived on the market last Spring. Since it went through the WPC, it's pretty clear that it will feature wireless charging support alongside the now-standard LTE connectivity in all of Verizon's new smartphones.
Other things may have been changed too compared to AT&T's variant, but we can't be sure just yet. Hopefully it will get to keep the decently sized (considering its other specs) 2,100 mAh battery. We'll let you know when we find out more.
AT&T's LG Escape comes with a 4.3-inch 540×960 IPS touchscreen, a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, a 5 MP rear camera, a 1.3 MP front-facing camera, NFC, and it runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Reasons for working at home in 2004
September 27, 2005
Among wage and salary workers who were taking work home in May 2004 without a formal arrangement to be paid for that work, the most common reason for working at home was to "finish or catch up on work" (56 percent).
An additional 32 percent reported that they worked at home at least once per week because it was the "nature of the job."
"Coordinate work schedule with personal or family needs" and "business is conducted from home" were each cited by about 3 percent of wage and salary workers who worked at home on an unpaid basis.
These data on work at home are from the Current Population Survey. Find out more in "Work at Home in 2004," news release USDL 05-1768.

Our Price
$5.00 - $9.00*
Full Price
Yasmina Reza's dark comedy God of Carnage reveals that while kids will be kids, adults might have only a slight grasp on maturity themselves. The play begins as two couples meet to work things out after one of their children attacks the other in the park. As their discussion progresses and the rum flows, their behavior devolves from civilized to outrageous as each couple tries to pin the blame on the other for the incident. You'll wonder if the parents are anything more than overgrown children, even as you laugh out loud at their antics. From acid dialogue to broad physical comedy, this play will defy your expectations at every turn, becoming more hilarious with every scene. God of Carnage won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2009 and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in the same year.

What error code number do you have listed on the scan report? (Also how much did the agents charge to run the report?) It depends on the code really. Depending on the code you can usually decide whether its serious issue or whether its just a one off situation where you can clear the code and monitor things to see if it reoccurs again, at which point you can address it / replace the offending part.

you should've done the scan first! I hope your garage guy had a scanner to get the error code out and it was then he knew it was the crank sensor.
Since the scan was done via A*W now, why dont you get them to sort it out for you instead of going back to your garage chap.

Doesn't seem too bad, as in it doesn't seem like its something that would wreck your engine by driving further. (See here for details on the error code)
I'd reset the check engine light and monitor it to see if it springs up again.
If it does re-occur, I'd go to the local Nissan dealer or a garage with diagnostic tools. Reading through the error code write-up, by using a diagnostic tool you'd be able to figure out what's wrong pretty rapidly which I'd prefer over the trial and error method you'd have to employ at a smaller place that doesn't have it. However if, as you say, your chap is an expert; I guess you could tell him what you suspect is wrong or hand him a printout of the error code data off the web and let him loose...
If you DO go to the dealer get them to give you a written estimate before doing any work, also make sure you talk to the service manager or the foreman in charge so you understand what they plan on doing. Sometimes dealerships (and I speak of dealerships in general) tend to go bonkers and try to replace every darn thing that could be triggering the check engine light without taking the time to diagnose things properly.

Casey Williams records at MTSU
Walking into a bar invokes an array of stimuli; smoke overpowers the nostrils, glaring lights juxtaposed with dark-lit corners confuse the eyes, and have you ever touched the bar itself? One word: sticky. So why do we do it? Why do we subject ourselves to this carnival of sensations? While I can't explain why the masses of bar-goers put up with it, I can at least give you one reason why I frequent these establishments; Casey Williams
A 22-year-old wonder-kin out of Santa Claus, Indiana, Casey Williams acoustic show is just that; a show. The performance itself actually takes the listener out of the bar scene and puts them in an place not often found with other performers. The listener finds themselves lost in thought while watching and listening to Casey play. To put it bluntly, the kids' got soul. Armed with an acoustic guitar, a loop station, and a bluesy vocal mix of grit and passion, Casey puts a fresh yet familiar spin on a wide range of songs. From Eric Clapton to Jack Johnson to The Black Crowes, there's something for everyone. Each song is played beautifully, and each loop is seamless. Casey also proves something that any musician will admit; you can fit a blues line in any song.
Sound too good to be true? Well, here's the catch; don't go to one of Casey's shows expecting to hear "Crazy Bitch" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". A true artist, Casey stays loyal to his own play list, playing only the tunes that move him or bear some meaning to him personally. Is this a setback? In this writer's eyes; No. It is beyond refreshing to go to a show and be taken on a journey with the performer. Too often have musicians fallen prey to the "jukebox syndrome" of playing whatever is yelled out, resulting in back-to-back Skynard tunes. Playing since the age of 5, Casey reveals a confidence on stage that few 22-year-olds have, and his witty jokes with the crowd is a testament to his level of maturity.
Casey can be found at Little Cheer's every Wednesday night from 10:30-2:30, as well as other area venues including RiRa's and The Deerhead. Check out his myspace page here, and be sure to checkback here at Examiner.com for a sit-down interview with Casey in the upcoming weeks.

The Washington Wizards defeated the Indiana Pacers 91-78 Friday then followed their big win with a 101-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. John Wall commanded the back-to-back homestead streak with an average of 22.5 points and 7 assists, as the 38-35 Wizards look to finish the season strong.
"We're just trying to play basketball the right way," said Wall after Saturday's game against the Hawks. "We had a bad stretch in that west coast trip and came back and lost games and then we got back on the right track. [...] We knew these two games were pretty big for us and the game on Monday is even bigger against Charlotte that's coming to try to get our sixth spot."
Washington's triumph over Indiana Friday gave the Wizards their first win against the Pacers this season, and in epic fashion. A 30-19 third quarter put Washington ahead for good in a game in which Indiana never led. Wizards forward Trevor Ariza scored all 11 of his points in the period, as he finished the game with a shaky 2-for-12 from the floor. The next night, Ariza scored a solid 13 points on 4-for-6 shooting. Unfortunately, however, the Wizards marksman would tweak his groin due to a slippery court.
"I guess the hockey game," posed Wall, regarding the state of the hardwood. "Everywhere was slippery and to be honest we were scared to make a move. The situation with Trevor [Ariza] I mean he could have torn a groin or anything. So at certain times you'd see certain guys just start to fall and slide and it was getting worse and worse so I don't know, they didn't fall the first half but we did the second half."
With the now 31-41 Hawks on their heels and a hazardous court, Wall, Ariza, and the Wizards made due. Now they'll need to assess Ariza and see what the future will bring, but having "Slam Dunk" winner Wall--a worthy "MVP" candidate this season--should get them through.
Monday Washington will visit the 35-38 Charlotte Bobcats, who are currently one spot above the Hawks at #7 in the Eastern Conference, as the Wizards sit on #6. With 9 games left, Washington is looking at their first postseason run since 2008.

This problem is many dogs' demise. Owners don't like coming home to a destroyed house so the dogs are either beat because they were bad, given away, or just abandoned. People just need to realize a canine's emotions are just like ours.

Korean Sashimi: Doing It Raw
Today is my last Friday of 2013 in Korea, so it's only appropriate that today's Foodporn Friday post is a fresh catch straight from Korea! Korean sashimi, also called 회 (hway), is something that I'd avoided for over three years, assuming it to be a chewy, tentacled affair using fish that look like penises and smell little better than a Rafflesia plant.
Oh how wrong I was. Korean sashimi is a classy affair that my friend Dana and I were able to indulge on on the first night of our trip to the southern coast. You know, the trip where I was wowed by Suncheon Bay's natural beauty and where I may have been temporarily possessed by a health-nut demon and voluntarily went hiking in Geumodo.
Dana and I chowed down on Korean sashimi in a restaurant near Yeosu's ferry terminal. Not a cheap affair, the bill for two hungry people runs to about 70,000 won. Our meal included not only a big plate of various kinds of Korean sashimi, but also mussels (we got a free refill, but that's not to be expected), and then maeuntang (매운탕) after we finished the sashimi.
The lady who ran the restaurant loved that I could speak Korean but Dana, who is ethnically Asian but very much American, was relying on me to translate as she spoke to him. She ate dinner with her husband and adult daughter on the table across from us, and instructed them to keep an eye on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. Cue lots of freebies that the other customers in the restaurant didn't get, like the aforementioned mussels, and some extra sashimi.
As Yeosu is a coastal city, the Korean sashimi that you find there is super fresh. Fish were taken out of a tank and sliced up just feet away from us. The various kinds of fish were all delicately flavoured, and when paired with soy sauce, wasabi, a kind of paste made from chilies, and the fresh, crispy vegetables served up at the table, an absolute delight. If you're looking for a Korean sashimi restaurant in Yeosu, look around the harbour and see if you can find 남면횟집 (Nammyeon Hwayt-jip). The phone number is 061-665-7022. It'd be best to go with a Korean speaker, as the family that runs it don't speak a lick of English. The exact address is 전라남도 여수시 교동 496 (Jeollanam-do, Yeosu-si, Gyodong 496).
I wish that it hadn't taken me three years to take the plunge and try Korean sashimi for the first time, although I'm glad that I did it in style in Yeosu. Maybe it's a good thing that I discovered my love for Korean sashimi with only one month remaining in South Korea, given that it would no doubt develop into quite an expensive habit. My stomach and taste buds may be regretting my late epiphany of my love of Korean sashimi, but my wallet is certainly breathing a sigh of relief.
So there you have it, folks! Now, I want to hear from you! Have you ever tried Korean sashimi before? Or, have you tried raw fish from any other countries? Does it look like something you'd give a go? Let us know in the comments below, or shout out on Facebook or Twitter.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott says he believes a team from the conference will be playing a football game in China "in the not too distant future."
Scott, speaking at halftime of the Fiesta Bowl, said Stanford and Notre Dame would like to play in China as early as 2013. Scott said that might be too soon, based on information he gathered in a recent trip to Beijing.
He said he plans to have further discussions on the subject with officials from Stanford and Notre Dame. Scott said that if it's not 2013, it is just a matter of time before the Pac-12 introduces college football to the world's largest country.

Since the Wine Institute has designated April as Earth Month, I am exploring wineries that utilize sustainable practices in most aspects of their grape growing and wine making process. Each winery employs their own set of standards and principles to attain their goal of sustainability. One winery that is determined to pave the way to establishing a strong foothold in the green practices movement and a pioneer in the field is Ampelos Cellars.
As a Wine Institute member, Ampelos Cellars owners, Peter and Rebecca Work take pride in the fact that they are not only sustainable but they are the first winery to have three different certifications, SIP (Sustainability in Practice), Organic and Biodynamic. These three practices are evident in all facets of their winery and their passion for winemaking is enhanced by their determination to be green.
I have followed Ampelos Cellars since 2007. In fact I still have some of their earlier vintages in my wine cellar. When I first visited the tasting room the Work's were just beginning to venture into realm of being consciously green. They had just begun to apply biodynamic preparations and organic practices to their vineyard.
Peter and Rebecca Work came from the corporate world. They had purchased property in what is now Sta. Rita Hills in 1999. In 2001 they began planting the vineyard and in 2002 they uprooted their hectic lives in Los Angeles, opting for a more peaceful and what they feel a more fulfilling life. This all came about when Peter was suppose to be at a meeting in the World Trade Center on 911. Fortunate for Peter, his meeting was cancelled but the impact of that day made him re-evaluate his life and career.
In 2004 Ampelos had their first harvest. Throughout the years more acreage has been planted with different grapes with the most recent being Riesling, which is used to add another dimension in their Rosé.
After reading Goete and Steiner's work, in 2005 Peter and Rebecca decided to change the way they farmed their grapes to encompass a plan that approaches the vineyard as a whole organism that is self-sustaining. This strategy times cyclical activities such as planting and harvesting to the moon and planets. The idea is that the land works in harmony with the universe and all elements of nature. By 2006 they were utilizing biodynamic preparations and organic principles in the vineyard. Ampelos was one of the first fourteen vineyards to receive certification under SIP's pilot program in 2008. This was followed by organic certification in 2009. Today these three disciplines are an integral part of the winery, vineyard and tasting room.
The name Ampelos means vine in Greek. Peter and Rebecca have strong ties to Greece but it is there belief that the essentials of winemaking start in the vineyard with the vine, which makes this name so befitting. Thus it is no coincidence that Ampelos' green practices begin in the vineyard with soil management. Three biodynamic preparations, cow dung compost for the soil, horn dung for the roots and horn silica to aid photosynthesis promote the health and maintenance of the vineyards.
You will find a huge compost pile, which is used to invigorate the soil each year. Being a biodynamic winery there are special ingredients that are used as part of the compost. These include Chamomile, Dandelion, Valerum, Stinging Nettle, Oak Bar and Yarrow. In the winter, horn dung, cow manure is packed into a cow horn and buried in the ground. In the spring horn silica, a fine ground crystal is packed into the cow horn and buried into the ground in a special place. This silica is later used as a spray on the vines. Besides the compost between each row of vines you will find sugar peas, fava beans, vetch and oak rye growing during the winter. This acts as a fertilizer and brings nitrogen back into the soil. In the spring these plants are mowed down and turned into the soil to further revitalize the soil. Ampelos employs chickens for insect control. You will see them following the tractor down each aisle as the plants are being mowed, looking for ants, mealybugs or whatever they can find. Throughout the vineyard there are select rows that are left untouched. These rows are unkempt to protect the good insects such as ladybugs, which work with nature.
Peter and Rebecca have a solar system that covers the energy needs of their home, vineyard and more. Two panels allow the entire property to be completely off the grid.
The philosophy at Ampelos is one where the winemaking process should be completely natural. The addition of yeast, nutrients, malolactic bacteria, enzymes, and artificial color are nonexistent. The idea is to let the juice develop into a wine in its own way. There is almost no sulfur additions or just enough to keep the wine protected from bacteria and oxidation.
The oak barrels come from select CO2 neutral coopers since the Work's prefer oak cut on the descending moon. The use of new oak is very limited. Major winemaking decisions like tasting and bottling are based on the phase of the moon and it position relative to the constellations.
Ampelos packaging is as environmental as possible. They use at least 45% recycle glass made in the United States for bottling. One will see that they are moving away from foil wraps since these cannot be recycled. The corks are Diam, which are TCS free and are created with a process that efficiently uses cork bark. Gravity is used for racking.
Cardboard leftover from glass shipments is recycled for marketing material. Other cardboard is used for erosion control at the ranch. The refuse of stems, skins, seeds and lees from racking are returned to the vineyard to be used in the compost. All paper is recycled for office use. Even the décor for the tasting room is recycled material. Basically nothing goes to waste.
The wines are exceptional. Each wine has its own name, which is based on Greek characters used in math and physics. Peter states, "Each character is selected based on how it fits the profile of the wine." We started with the 2012 Viognier – Phi: the golden ratio. The wine is aged in stainless steel and fermented for one month without malolactic fermentation. The wine is crisp and exudes the flavors of peaches, apricots and green apples.
The 2013 Rose of Syrah –Upsilon: the charged is one of my favorites. It is refreshing with flavors of strawberry, watermelon and hints of spice on the finish. The wine is made up of Syrah, Grenache and a very small amount of Riesling. I think the Riesling enhances the spices that one perceives on the finish. Perhaps as Peter describes, "Upsilon is an electric charge – the Rose is charged with a lot of different flavors!" To me it is charged with the enhancement of the Riesling. This wine is co-fermented for a month in stainless steel and like the Viognier without malolactic fermentation.
Peter pulled out a wine that I never expected to be produced at Ampelos. It was a 2007 Dornfelder. As Peter says, "This wine makes Syrah look like Rosé." This is a big wine and is atypical for the area. The wine is called Eepsilon, which means small batch in Greek. Every so often Ampelos creates a wine in small batches like the Dornfelder. It was a wine I was lucky enough to sample and one that is a must on anyone's list.
Although we also tried a Grenache – Delta: the difference and a Pinot Noir – Lambda: the magnitude, the above-mentioned wines were the ones that stood out for me on this particular visit.
I find the wines of Ampelos have intensity in both the depth and flavor of the wine; this is a common attribute with other biodynamic wineries. I got a sense of how the biodynamics responds to the grapes as I toured the vineyards and learned the principles of composting and other features of biodynamics. When I asked Peter about this intensity he responded by saying, "Absolutely! When you don't apply a lot of artificial material (fertilizers, herbicide etc.) in the vineyard or winery but instead use good additions such as healthy compost and biodynamic preparations the soils and vines are healthier and less restricted from expressing the growing conditions and results in better tasting grapes – and wines."
Ampelos Cellars and other wineries incorporating the principles and practices of biodynamics can truly say that their wines are expression of the land. They are expressions of not only the terrior but that of nature and harmony.
Three words come to mind after spending time time with Peter and Rebecca Work at Ampelos Cellars. They are cutting edge, passionate and proud. The Work's principles and practices are cutting edge. They are passionate and at the same time proud of what they are creating and accomplishing using sustainability, organic and biodynamic methods.

As we take the Delhi-Mathura road to Agra, we come to a structure which is in ruins and is surrounded by greenery. This is the old fort or the Purana Qila of Delhi. Delhi, as we all know is very Ancient City. It was created and destroyed seven times and the present day Delhi is the seventh version of the original. Though in the ancient times, though it was not called Delhi, finds mention in many of the ancient texts. The great epic it is called Indraprastha. This was the capital of the Pandavas and it is said that the beauty & splendor of this city was one of the reasons due to which battle of Mahabharata was fought. This was some 5000 years ago. Apart from Indraprastha at various times Delhi was called Lal Kot, Qila Rai Pithora, Siri, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad, Ferozabad, Dinpanah and Delhi Sher Shah or Shahjahanabad. These versions of Delhi might have not been situated at what today is called the Purana Qila but they certainly intrinsically identified with power and imperial sway.
The tranquility of the splendidly panoramic environs of Old Fort narrates a saga of Delhi's rejuvenation, periods of anarchy and rise & fall of empires. The old ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past. Not much is left of the fort which has been restored by the archaeological survey of India. The Majestic walls, which had once withstood the cannon fires, are in a terrible state today. Most of the structures have disappeared, as they could not bear the onslaught of time, the Britishers also pulled down some of them. This royal bastion of power saw its downfall after capital of the Mughals was shifted to Agra and then it was relocated in the Delhi Red fort.
The construction of old fort was taken up by Humayun in 1538. He named it Dinpanah. Humayun was not able to rule from the fort for long and was defeated by the Afghan ruler Sher Shah Suri. Sher Shah named the place as Shergarh. It was Sher Shah who added many buildings to the complex. Some of the buildings constructed by him still stand. Sher Shah was killed when a canon misfired and Humayun came back to power. But it seems that the place was not ready to accept Humayun as the ruler and he died while coming down from the library for his Namaz (prayers). This library is known as the Sher Mahal and was constructed by Sher Shah. Originally the structure was to be much higher than it is today but the untimely death of Sher Shah halted any further construction.
There are three Gates to this fort. Today entrance is through the Bara Darwaza. The South Gate is called the Humayun Darwaza, probably because Humayun built it or because the tomb of Humayun is visible from here. The third gate is the Talaqi Darwaza. Recent excavations in the fort has revealed painted grey pottery which date back to 1000 BC. Such and many more findings inside the fort have proved the location to be inhabited since the early civilizations. In fact there was a village inside the fort till 1913 called Indrapat which is very close to Indraprastha adding credibility to the theory of Mahabharata having taken place here.
Inside the fort Qila Kuhna Masjid which is one of the finest example of architectural style being used in those days. The Masjid was built by Sher Shah in 1541 and it seems that there was an attempt to build the whole structure in Marble. But the scarcity of marble forced the use of Redsand stone. This mixture was accidental forced or intended we do not know, nevertheless the combination adds a different look to the structure. The inner west wall of the Masjid has five arched openings and which are richly ornamented in white and black marbles.
The DTDC has taken over the fort and is developing it as one of the tourist attractions in Delhi. There is a light and sound program every evening. This spectacular show narrates the history of Delhi in 62 minutes. The effects generated by the use of light and sound during the show transports the audience to scene which is being depicted. The show is held every day and the ticket is priced Rs. 25 per head. Check the timing with fort officials or any tourist office. The Son et Lumiere is organized in Hindi and English. The show is an unforgettable experience.
Close to the Old Fort is a lake which has paddle boating facility. This lake is surrounded by a garden with rows of trees and flower plants. Inside the fort too there are well grafted and maintained lawns which add to the greenery in the fort. The Delhi Zoo is just besides old fort. '.
