Tonight I am continuing the blog series of "Tragic Hero to Saint".
For specific context to this series or for any specific points that I have written out so far, check out the blog list below -
Day 116 - From Tragic Hero to a Saint - Introduction - A general introduction to the dual character/personalities of the "Tragic Hero" and the "Redeemed Fallen Hero"
Day 117 - The Comedy of the Tragic Hero
The idea/concept of the "Tragic Hero" in terms of my relationship with this point and how I have created it, participated in it, and to a large degree incorporated this character into my life - is that the Tragic Hero is supposedly somebody that is holding on to a 'noble cause' or a 'greater good' and stands within a kind of unshakable and unyielding commitment to something, and will go to any lengths, endure any suffering, and will "walk through hell" - which is the 'positive' charge that I have given this character - where this character in a way symbolizes a kind of strength and quiet conviction/discipline that allows him to endure all manner of trials and tragedies and in a way this makes him even 'stronger'.
But the way that I ACTUALLY played out this character is that whenever there something in my life that I did not want to confront or direct or take responsibility for, I would deliberately allow the point to become 'bigger than me' and allow that point to compound more and more while I would create and participate in the idea that by allowing myself to 'put up with it' and 'stick to what I do best' instead of having to consider changing me, taking on more responsibility, pushing myself past my comfort zones, and expanding myself and my self-responsibility in my world and in my relationship with myself - that somehow within me 'standing firm' in my limitations and in points of compromise, I am building my strength and that I am proving that I am 'capable' of dealing with anything and putting up with anything - when really all I was doing was ensuring that whenever something new came into my world - a new environment, a new responsibility, a new task or duty - or any time where I would have to push myself and go beyond my self-definitions, I would immediately go into a point of self-defense and would shy away from directly participating or directing myself or trusting myself within the point, and would simply NOT participate in that point and find ways/methods of 'getting by' without whatever it is that I would judge to be 'too scary' or 'too complicated' or simply beyond my self-imposed fears and limitations.
So the tragic hero character is really a tool that I have used throughout my life to shy away from and not directly participate in or take responsibility for my own living - where any time there was something that I require to do for myself but required that I push myself past my comfort zones or have to face a point of fear or resistance, I would simply adopt the "Tragic Hero" personality as myself and suddenly, my lack of participation and responsibility became something that was 'deliberate' - and in this way I was getting more and more of a charged energetic experience of myself being this apparent "Tragic Hero" putting up with so much and taking on such burden and being so 'strong' within NOT seeking help but rather "Soldiering On".
And what has been the consequence of living this way and accepting/allowing such a character to accumulate within myself? The result has been a life in which I would constantly and continuously sabotage myself deliberately and allow myself to place myself into situations of compromise where I would allow others to essentially 'walk all over me' and I would then put on the act that I was allowing all of this abuse deliberately because I am "better than them" and I can "Take it" - when in fact I was always scared and afraid to speak up, to really stand for myself, to really direct myself and express myself and live a life for and as ME, and to a great extent I diminished myself over the years, resigned to just "dealing with" and "putting up with" whatever consequences come my way, and within my ego and self-interest I did want to ask for help or assistance from people - because this would violate the apparent stoic and stalwart "Tragic Hero" that I was trying to be and live as, yet I would always - deep down inside really want people to help and assist me - and would really want for others to aid me, and when I allowed points to compound to such an extent that people actually did notice my distress and did offer their assistance, I would accept but would put on an air of indifference - because I did not want to face the actual fear and resistance that had been accumulating within myself.
Often when assistance was given and people in my world did offer support, I would at first make it a point to present myself as though I did not want their assistance, but am accepting their offer because I did not want to seem 'ungrateful' - yet in this very act of manipulating myself and hiding my actual expression, I WAS the very manifestation and expression of ingratitude - because instead of seeing the support and assistance being given and actually being thankful for it and utilizing that support as a point of stability for myself in my world until I am able to stand on my own within that point - I rather made myself constantly and continuously dependent on such support, and in my self-interest and fear of walking out of my self-definitions and limitations, constantly allowed myself to walk right into situations of compromise and diminishment within not directing myself effectively, and when such points accumulate into a consequence where I must face the outcome of my acceptances, I would simply again become the "Tragic Hero" and accept/put up with the consequence/punishment as part of my 'burden to carry' instead of seeing the point, understanding how it happened, and moving myself within a decision to NOT AGAIN allow such a consequence to manifest.
Thus - I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to constantly and continuously put off on really getting clear with myself about this specific point of the "Tragic Hero" even though I have seen and been aware of this point for quite some time within my process, but still allowed myself to give in to 'putting up with' the friction and conflict that would arise as I would see and notice myself still not taking responsibility and still allowing this "Tragic Hero" illusion to influence my living and my decisions.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to still hold on to the positive charge that I have associated with the picture and idea of the "Tragic Hero" so that I could continue to not take actual and REAL self-responsibility for myself, because as long as I can adopt the "Tragic Hero" character as myself, I can always just "Put up with" my consequences and abdicate my entire life, my entire living, in order to NOT actually LIVE a life at all but rather spend my time, my energy, and the years of my life here on earth perpetually walking in the shoes of the "Tragic Hero" diminishing myself and constantly making my own life more difficult simply out of fear of facing and walking through my resistances.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I am actually able to NOT face my consequences directly so long as I am accepting and allowing myself to simply brace for the worst case scenarios and simply accept whatever consequence comes and keep bearing it and suppressing it - when this very living and this very stance within myself is ALREADY the absolute abdication of me as the live that I am, and as the life that I may be able to create for myself - but gave up within giving in to the righteousness of the "Tragic Hero".
I commit myself to, in this series, walk in detail this point of the Tragic Hero and how I have specifically created this point throughout my life, and apply specific self-forgiveness and self-corrective application within taking my life back into my own hands and developing the self-trust and self-value that I had given away in separation and tried to 'live into' by creating the idealization and fantasy of the "Tragic Hero".
I commit myself to show how in creating such a "Tragic Hero" character within one's life is NOT actually heroic, and that creating such coping mechanisms will, over time and over prolonged participation, greatly diminish a person's ability to direct themselves and actually create and manifest a life of enjoyment and fulfillment - and within this how one is able to, through effective writing, self-forgiveness, and corrective application, actually understand and become self-honest with who we are and how we have designed ourselves, and SEE clearly how we created such points as defense mechanisms to deal with energetic experiences and that we have, as humanity, NEVER actually understood in any practical way until now - thus be able to really CHANGE who we are, not by fighting or trying to compensate for the pains and struggles of our lives or trying to 'make up for' points that we believed we could not correct or change, but by actually becoming self-honest in who we are - so that we can again look at our lives and STOP taking things personally, STOP accepting our fears and reactions, STOP allowing our minds to create excuse after excuse as to why we cannot change, and bit by bit, breath by breath, walk ourselves 'backwards' to a point where we are no longer influenced and directed by the accumulated confusion and emotions and fears of our life thus far, but move ourselves in each moment anew, living life as we were really meant to live it - in the absolute fullness of each moment, uncompromised by judgments, by scars, by the ghosts of the past that we allow to haunt us.
I commit myself to see myself through this point, to understand this point, and to release myself from this pattern of and possession of the "Tragic Hero" through further writing and self-forgiveness - so that I do not judge this point or allow any shame or guilt to influence my ability to see this point for what it is, to understand it intimately and without judgment, so that I can walk it's dimensions and take responsibility for all of the points in my life that I have tried to make the "Tragic Hero" responsible for in my stead.
In the posts to follow I will in greater detail walk the dimensions and my 'history' with this point.

I've been cruising etsy.com a lot lately, and I'm pretty much super excited about it.
Not the amount of time I've spent on there, that's more than a little concerning. I'm excited about all of the awesome things a person can find on there. I'm thinking of doing a regular little feature of things I've found on etsy that I'm in love with and you can
buy and send to me check out if you'd like. As an FYI, etsy is an online marketplace where you can buy vintage and homemade goods. And we're not just talking yardsale stuff here, people. Noooo. We're talking wood work and quilts and nice jewelry and home decor items. Its pretty awesome.
The problem is, defining my "own personal style" is a little intimidating for me. Not quite as intimidating as suggesting to someone, "Hey, this looks like your style" because more than once, I've had said someone go, "Really? You think so? I don't like that at all." and then I don't talk for the rest of the day. Picking out and sharing with you my own personal style is not quite as nervous making as that, but its close. Mostly because I'm not sure of my "own personal style". Is it possible for a person to not have a style? Like, what if my "style" is cheap, not-see-through, and clean? Is that an actual style? What if my only requirements are covers my swimsuit area and costs less than a gallon of milk (or 2)?
Anyhow, the other problem is my disability: style-blindness. Its sort of like color blindness, in that, when I like something, I really like it, but I can't tell if I like it because its really pretty/cool/awesome, or if I like it because its throw-it-in-the-dumpster-and-apologize-to-the-garbage-man ugly. Seriously, just like someone who confuses red & green (which are waaaay different), I can't tell the difference between liking something because its nice and liking something just because its not. When its for important stuff, like an interview suit or something, I take other people shopping with me; its necessary.
So back to the subject at hand, its a little unnerving for me to pick things out and publicly declare that I like them, as it may very well expose my disability. But, I'm willing to go there, mostly because I'm a glutton for punishment, and a little bit because maybe you can help me hone my style skills if you tell me when things are awesome and when they are ugle' (thats french for ugly) (no, its not really).
Anyhow, I may be starting an etsy segment, I'm not sure. But I did want to share this with you. I found it on etsy one day, about a year or two ago, when I was doing a "pounce" feature. On etsy, you can randomly look at shops that either (a) just had a sale or (b) are waiting for their first sale. I'll let you decide which one this came from. FTR, I found this guy before he was famous. I'm a trendsetter like that.

The jungle. Central America or Southeast Asia, they all look alike to me. I am suspended, like Christ or a giant Tetley teabag, in a pool of mud and offal, leeches clinging to my pecs and delts. Above me stands (I was going to say looms, but I am the only one in this picture who is allowed to loom) the maniacal Russian, Podovsky. His Russian accent is German, as usual. I calmly look ahead as though I hung in pools of offal every day.
"Stallone, "says Podovsky with sadistic civility, "Do not make it hard on yourself. Tell me, vat is it about zis movie zat has made it so big?"
"How many times in our lives," I reply, as I have in many interviews, "have we strived to go back to a certain situation and strived to rectify all the wrongs, to go back to a war that was lost and perhaps win a little peace of mind by doing it our way this time?"
"But surely at least your fans over 20 know zat history is not so easy to edit as a movie? Zat Vietnam may have been unwinnable, zat in real wars, people, unlike you, come out vounded, paraplegic or dead!"
"I stand for ordinary Americans, losers, a lot of them. They don't understand big, international politics. I could make a film that is hard-edged, insightful. But I would rather do something that is meaningful to the masses."
"But Stallone, it is precisely the masses you are misleading! Do you know zat teenagers are valking into your private he-man cartoon of var and sinking it is the real thing?"
"I don't work these things out intellectually. I'm not political. I'm not well versed in politics. But I love my family. I love my country."
Podovsky sinks to his knees. He gives a cry, "Kakaja erunda!" ("What nonsense!") and dies of frustration on the spot. Once more they have underestimated me. I am the perfect killing machine.
Buddatah-buddatah. Bang. Bang. Bang.
It's not so much that Sylvester Stallone is beating the bejeezus out of the entire Vietnamese army; that's only logical—after all, it's his movie. No, what bothers you is that the hapless enemy can't even wound him. They go after our hero with everything from pistols to napalm bombs, using up enough ammunition to supply the contras for a year, and there's not even a scratch on Sly's gleaming torso to show for it. What school marksmanship did these guys go to? Sure, he's the perfect killing machine, but logic dictates that if enough people take aim at something, they've at least got to wing it, right?
Wrong. Take, for example, Rambo: First Blood Part II. The critics first got it in their sights in late May and opened up with the rhetorical equivalent of a carpet bombing. PEOPLE blasted its "ill-timed moralizing." The New Yorker called it a piece of "narcissistic jingoism." The Wall Street Journal said it was "hare-brained" and the Washington Post commented, "Sly's body looks fine. Now can't you come up with a workout for his soul?"
Bang. Bang. But not a nick on Rambo. In its first week, the movie earned the third-highest opening gross ever. By June's end, the $30 million had taken in a cool $100 million, making it the first movie to hit that magic figure this year. Although the script is barely literate, even its novelization has 800,000 copies in print, landing it on the New York Times best-seller list. Rambo's 1982 prequel, First Blood, is back, on top-selling videocassette charts, and last week the sequel received a privilege accorded few cultural phenomena, an hour on Donahue. Perhaps tellingly, Rambo is the top-grossing movie of all time in Beirut. Stallone seems to have created the perfect make-a-killing machine.
Rambo had its beginnings when producers Andrew Vajna and Mario Kassar realized that First Blood, Stallone's movie about a war-stressed vet who ends up waging a guerrilla campaign against a small Northwest town, had struck a responsive chord. "Rambo triggered long-suppressed emotions," says Stallone. "Suddenly apple pie was an important thing on the menu." First Blood's American fans paid some $57 million for a taste. Stallone and screenwriter James (The Terminator) Cameron were drafted to write Rambo. Says Cameron, "I knew going in that Sly would put his stamp on whatever we did. He had a vision of the character." And how. When Rambo co-star Richard Crenna first saw the script, he called Stallone and told him that "he'd be nuts to put himself through what he'd written."
No matter, cast and crew ended up in the jungles of Mexico, where, in addition to predictable difficulties (a shortage of the necessary Vietnamese extras), a special effects man perished in a jungle waterfall and a hurricane wiped out half the sets. "It was a taxing film," says director George Cosmatos, but he claims that through it all Stallone maintained his daily workout and also wrote dialogue for his next opus, Rocky IV. "He was like a Roman warrior," says Cosmatos. "A Viking, a gladiator, a hero of the past."
But if Stallone worked hard, then the effort by the marketing department at Tri-Star, the film's distributor, was truly Rockyesque. On weekends, planes and helicopters have been buzzing popular beaches on both coasts with the message, "You can relax down there—Rambo's up here." There are Rambo bows and knives on sale, as well as Rambo semiautomatic squirtguns, vitamins and bubble gum for Stallone's younger fans. Newspaper ads proclaim "Rambo—symbol of the American spirit." More patriotic slogans(one discussed option: "Rambo wants you") are planned, and a Tri-Star publicist even told a reporter that the Army was pasting up Rambo posters at recruiting centers. That tactic was firmly disavowed by Lt. Col. John F. Cullen, spokesman at the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. Says Cullen, "The guy's an ex-convict—in the first movie he killed everybody who angered him. This is not the kind of guy we want for our poster boy of the '80s."
And that, of course, is the cry of the worried minority who believe the movie is popular because it repeats popular lies. Nebraska Gov. Bob Kerrey, a Medal of Honor recipient in Vietnam, comments, "The Vietnamese have not done enough to give a full accounting of our men, but I do not think they are in prisons there." He believes the movie "didn't tell about the war as I knew it. It made it look fun." Adds Mike Leaveck, communications director for Vietnam Veterans of America, "America has already started to accept the Vietnam veteran. Hollywood's just proving that you can make money out of it." Although other vets have defended Rambo, co-screenwriter Cameron admits, "This film has no conscience whatever."
But tell that to Stallone, who believes in the film's "underlying dignity." And tell it to millions of kids too young to remember the nightly news clips of the war we lost, kids who are screaming and hooting at each new death in Rambo. Riding into theaters on the coattails of Rambo are trailers for Stallone's November release, Rocky IV. In it, Balboa, Rambo's relatively cuddly alter ego, takes on a Soviet heavyweight. The trailer's narrator describes it thusly: "Get ready for the next world war!" To which youthful audiences have responded, "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" Buddatah-buddatah. Boom.
Assistant editor Jim Calio, a Naval officer aboard an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin during Vietnam, offers his view on Rambo and its ramifications.
I think it's a dangerous movie. Rambo has touched a raw nerve in America, a feeling that we should, in the words of Ronald Reagan, stand tall again. Ten years ago, after the collapse of Saigon and the anguish of the Watergate scandal, Rambo would have been laughed out of the movie theaters. The mood then was virulently antiwar, but today that's all changed.
In a sense, Rambo is a modern-day Western, a paean to a time when the good guys wore white and the bad guys black. It is a John Wayne fantasy. How many American soldiers returning from Vietnam said, sadly, that they thought war would be "just like a John Wayne movie," only to find out that it wasn't? People bled and people died. It didn't have the niceness, the neatness of cinema. For the kids who make up much of the movie going audience and who one day may have to fight in a real war, I have a friendly warning: Remember, Rambo is only a movie.
In some New York theaters where Rambo is playing, audience members receive an official Rambo: First Blood Part II Trivia Contest. The true-false quiz contains such stumpers as "Rambo's code name is Lone Wolf," and the grand prize is a chance to meet Sylvester Stallone. We took the opportunity to fashion our own quiz about the film. Of course, some of these questions cannot be answered, no matter how many times you've seen Rambo. Winners will not meet Stallone.
1. In the movie, how long is it before Rambo takes off his shirt?
2. When you saw the first extreme closeup of Stallone's arm, what object did you think it was?
3. If Rambo speaks Vietnamese fluently when he initially meets his beautiful guide, Co Bao, why must she translate for the rest of the film?
4. Where in the jungle does Co Bao find the alluring dress and motor scooter that allow her to sneak into the prison camp in the guise of a prostitute?
5. After Rambo throws his knife through someone's neck for the first time, when does he retrieve it?
6. Which is bigger—Co Bao's turquoise good-luck charm or Sly Stallone's Adam's apple?
7. How did Rambo get behind that wall of mud?
8. in the scene on the rocks, how many times does the Vietnamese soldier miss Rambo with his pistol and submachine gun before Rambo aims, releases and blows him up with an explosive-tipped arrow?
9. How many international treaties does Rambo break during the movie?
Sometimes it's tough to keep track o? the action in Rambo without a box score. We herewith present some salient statistics—not counting the anonymous hordes killed in the movie's 70-plus explosions. If we missed a few, forgive: Even generals can have troubles with body counts.
Cause and number of deaths
Strangulation—2 (plus a snake)
Bow and arrow—14
Helicopter assault—2
Total—44, or an average of 1 murder every 2.1 minutes in the 93-minute film.

A baseball and softball field in the Iselin section of Woodbridge will remain closed after township officials discovered tainted dirt was used to fill and flatten the field during recent renovations, authorities said today.
Pocheck Field #2, located behind the Route 35 ShopRite, already was closed for repairs when the tainted fill dirt was found at the site, township officials said.
Investigators are attempting to determine how a trucking company brought the dirt, which was contaminated with chlordane, a pesticide used in the residential treatment of termites.
"We are extremely disturbed to find out that the fill material placed at this field -- and only this field -- is less than clean and we have already begun the process necessary to safely remove the tainted fill material from the outfield area of Pocheck practice field #2," Mayor John McCormac said in a statement this evening.
The tainted dirt was used to level the right-field playing area, and the contamination was confirmed by an independent contractor hired by the township, he said.

The objective of the oral history project In Search of Silenced Voices was to collect individual life histories by interviewing those Indonesian political emigrés still living in Western Europe, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The life histories describe their activities as members of the Indonesian leftist intelligentsia before 1965 as well as the diaspora they experienced after 1965. The recordings include political roles as well as personal experiences over three successive periods:
The interviews, recorded by Hersri Setiawan, are mostly in Indonesian.
In total, the IISH now has a collection of more than 200 tapes, comprising an archive of about 300 hours of oral history. The interviews and other recordings were given to the IISH by the interviewer and researcher of the project, Hersri Setiawan, and are for most part free for consultation.
For more information please visit the project website (web address provided below).

Biopharmaceutical development efforts have been filled with many so-called promising technology platforms. Besides protein therapeutics, however, the challenges surrounding peptide- and oligonucleotide-based therapeutics have stifled their success.
RNAi technology is one of the latest in a long slew of biologic drug development techniques. It is touted as being superior to other oligonucleotides in terms of specificity, potency, and flexibility. There are several companies vying to market the first RNAi drug, among them Sirna (acquired by Merck & Co.), Silence Therapeutics, and RXi Pharmaceuticals.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals has the distinction of being the only company to take an RNAi candidate into clinical investigation. It also stands out as having a strong intellectual property position, so much so that it has lured many R&D partners and enjoys a high stock value.
The biggest obstacle in this field, even after two decades of research, is that of delivery. While Alnylam reports some potential solutions, these are not yet a reality. Also, with only one compound in clinical development, some say that Alnylam's approximately $30 share price is inflated.
"Currently, I think the valuation is high and is being driven by collaborations not clinical programs," asserts Grant Zeng, senior biotech analyst at Zacks Investment Research.
Alnylam was founded in 2002 and has since been focusing on RNAi technology. It has one Phase II candidate for RSV infections, called ALN-RSV01, and two known preclinical molecules.
In February, Alnylam reported that its mid-stage study with ALN-RSV01 reduced infection rates by 38%. Healthy subjects were given ALN-RSV01 intranasally for two days before and three days after inoculation.
Jonas V. Alsenas, managing director and senior biotech analyst at Leerink Swann, is not impressed. He points out that, because it is the first clinical test of an RNAi drug in general, as well as the first to evaluate this candidate in the RSV setting, the study design is unusual. "Since Alnylam is trailblazing, it's a little tough to be excited about the data."
During the trial, volunteers were infected with a laboratory-passaged virus. Disease progression in these participants was not similar to the natural course of RSV infection, according to Alsenas. Subjects only experienced upper respiratory infections, he explains. Clinically significant RSV infection is a lower respiratory disease.
"The odds of success in therapeutic applications are highly stacked against Alnylam," notes Alsenas. The biggest issue is delivery. Possible solutions like liposome encapsulation and altered oligonucleotide chemistry have been associated with toxicity and reduced efficacy.
"It's a fundamental physio-chemical problem," Alsenas explains. Oligonucleotides are usually highly charged, making it difficult for them to enter the neutrally charged layer of a cell membrane. As a result, oligonucleotides have short half-lives. Additionally, these molecules are large and unstable. Alsenas also points out that RNAi's are quickly degraded by endo- and exonucleases once in the body.
Because of these seemingly inherent hurdles to RNAi drug development, Alsenas goes so far as to say that it is a technology better suited for research purposes. While acknowledging the vast potential of the platform, he feels pessimistic about breakthroughs to the existing challenges.
"Another concern," according to Zeng, "is that the company is moving its clinical program very slowly. RSV01 has taken more than three years to reach Phase II trials." He seems amazed that with $538 million in cash reserves as of June 30 the company isn't progressing its clinical program and preclinical research quicker.
Additionally, with all that money, both Zeng and Alsenas agree that Alnylam should consider diversifying its portfolio. The firm could feel, though, that doing so would be an indication of weakness to investors and Wall Street, according to Alsenas.
Alnylam has padded its financials with a smart deal-making strategy. "The company is doing a significant amount of research but is also getting a lot of research support," points out Alsenas.
Alnylam has six alliances, and two of those brought in three-digit upfront payments. Its collaboration with Roche, inked in July 2007, earned Alnylam $331 million upfront. More recently in May, Alnylam received an initial fee of $100 million from Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Each of these agreements has an overall potential value of $1 billion.
Alsenas believes that Alnylam is entering alliances out of desperation, and with Alnylam saying that it is seeking out more alliances, Alsenas points out that, "if the next deal is with a small company, like its last agreement with Kyowa Hakko, that could also be seen negatively." In June, Kyowa Hakko obtained Asian rights to ALN-RSV01 for $15 million. Milestone fees could reach $78 million, a far cry from the Roche and Takeda agreements.
Zeng, on the other hand, thinks that current and future deals will continue to make Alnylam a financial success story among early-stage biotech companies. "If there is no major failure in the technology, which I do not expect will happen in the near-term, Alnylam will continue to monetize its technology." This, in turn, will keep driving the company's value up.
Because of his trepidations regarding clinical development, the firm's small pipeline, and technology hurdles, Zeng has a Hold rating. His target price is $38.5 for the next 10 to 12 months.
Alsenas' prediction for the next year is quite the opposite. He is slashing the company's value by about half, and his 2009 valuation is $14-16 per share.
"When we initiated coverage on Alnylam, the company had about $1 billion in technology value. This is not a normal value for a company with just one, not very impressive, mid-stage compound. In fact it's rare to even be public at this stage."
As long as Alnylam can show some success and continue with its deal making, investors and Wall Street will continue to believe that the potentials outweigh the challenges.

#3 SF Chronicle Recommended Oregon Pinots: Scott Shull's basic blend of 11 vineyard sites includes components from locales both famous (Shea) and lesser known. The result is a perfect snapshot of classic Oregon - floral, juicy and fresh, with wild strawberry and a fennel accent. And for that price? Stunning. - the Chronicle
The 2010 Willamette is an elegant and articulate wine. Bright red candied cherry and caramel apple and even a hint of fresh white peach on the nose prepare the senses for a silky entry on the palate followed by the immediate attack of very zippy cherry fruit, mouth-drenching acidity, and hints of cassis. The wine narrows as it finishes with polished, fine-grained tannins. Though narrow, the length is prolonged by a spectrum of flavors that keep going. As it ages in the bottle, brown spice notes of cardamon and cinnamon bark may become more prominent.
2009 Vintage Tasting Notes
2009 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Light, supple and appealing for the mineral notes that harmonize with the cherry and spice flavors, lingering nicely. Drink now through 2018. 1,060 cases. - H.S.
Clear garnet in color, this wine exhibits the aromas and flavors of classic Laurelwood and Yamhill series soil profiles, with a touch of Shea Vineyard earthiness. Fresh plums and blueberries dominate the broad palate, with a long, multi-layered finish. Though still young, this wine is already showing a very food-friendly balance of softness and acidity.

On the concept of Cherem
And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the Lord for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. (Josh. 6:17)
What does the word cherem means, as applied in the Old Testament with regards to the destruction of the Canaanites? The word cherem is the transliteration of the Hebrew word that is translated as the phrase 'devoted to the Lord for destruction' in Josh. 6:17 in the ESV. In the context of the book of Joshua, the first city conquered, Jericho, was defeated supernaturally and everything in it was devoted to God. All life present in it were wiped out; all man, woman and children (yes and babies too) were put to the sword, together with all the livestock. The city and everything in it was burned to the ground and all the metalware (which incidentally are not burnable) were taken and placed into the Lord's treasury. This by far is one of if not the most graphic picture of what it means for people or things to be considered cherem.
Now, some people may attempt to focus on the morality of such supposedly genocidal and barbaric actions, but before we even talk about this, I think it is instrumental to see it from a biblical point of view first. Disregarding whatever historical basis of such an action in for example ANE (Ancient Near East) cultures, the more important thing we should consider is the biblical rationale for it. The Bible is clear that the annihilation visited upon the various inhabitants of Canaan is because of their sin (Gen. 15: 16), and not because of a capricious act of God. As such, they must be eradicated so as to preserve the holy family and the holy seed from which Jesus would descend, from corruption. This is more religious than ethnic, as we can see from the integration of former Gentiles like Ruth and Rahab the prostitute.
The total eradication of all the inhabitants thus is judgment against them and such that there would be no people around to corrupt the pure religion of God among God's chosen people.
The case of Jericho is indeed a special one. As the first city to be conquered, Jericho is the firstfruit of the conquest, and therefore special commands and circumstance present itself to the invading Israelites. Firstly, God was the one who single-handedly destroyed the strong fortifications of Jericho. Jericho thus fell by the hand of God alone rather than the military strategies or prowess of the Israelites. This proved to the Israelites that God is the one who would go before them in battle, and He would give Israel the victory even over enemies far superior than them militarily. As the first city, this showed Israel that God will be with them right from the start in their conquest. They are not to be afraid, but to know the truth that 'if God is for us, who can be against us' (Rom. 8:31).
Secondly, since Jericho was the firstfruits of the conquest, God is teaching Israel that they must be grateful and give Him the firstfruits of whatever they have (Deut. 26). As such, everything in it must be dedicated to the Lord; the perishable to the flames, and the imperishable to the Lord's treasury. As such, nobody is allowed to take any of the livestock or goods from the city as loot. Those who do so are subjected to the same treatment given to the inhabitants of Jericho, as Achan found out to his and his family's destruction (Josh. 7:10-26).
The eradication of the Canaanite thus have a solidly biblical rationale behind it. Are there any spiritual lessons we can draw from the concept of cherem?
The first thing we can learn is the passion of God for the purity of His people. God demands that His people be holy, for He is holy (Lev. 11:44; 1 Peter 1:16) and he burns with wrath against all forms of compromise and every defilement that we may bring in. God is not a respecter of persons (Rom. 2:11), and He will punish His own people for their disobedience like that of the pagans, nay, worse than that, seemingly worse than them even sometimes (1 Peter 4:17; Heb. 12:7-11). That God would wipe out entire groups of people, who deserved to be killed anyway because of their sins, for Israel's sake shows His passion for the purity of His people. In fact, because of their failure to wipe out all of the former inhabitants (Judges 2:1-5), God judged them by allowing them to be oppressed and be led astray by foreigners. From this, we can learn that sin and compromise must be totally eradicated, otherwise they will come back, metastasize and attempt to eliminate our spiritual life. There is no such thing as 'just a little sin' or 'a little compromise', and that 'God will understand'. Those who do so, unless they repent, will find to their sorrow that they would have slowly but surely turn away from God, with disastrous results.
So now, we turn back to the concept of cherem. I have checked out the word in the Septuagint (the first Greek translation of the OT), and it is translated as anathema and used to that effect. It is thus the same word and the same approach, albeit spiritually, we are to use against those who preach a false 'christ' and a false 'gospel' (Gal. 1:8-9). Such people are to separated from and handed over for to God for the ultimate destruction of their souls in the lake of fire. Unless these false teachers repent, they are to be considered accursed, consecrated unto God in their destruction for the praise of His glorious name. Amen.
With all of these covered, how should we tackle the question of morality? How can a loving God permits and even orders wholesale genocide?
Now, we have already stated the theological reasons for such an action to be taken. With regards to the moral question, I would turn the tables on such people. Who are you to make such a judgment of God? Will what is molded say to its molder, '"Why have you made me like this?" (Rom. 9:20b) Without God you don't even have the basis upon which you can make any form of ethical statement coherently. Who dares sits in judgment against the LORD Almighty, his/her creator? The audacity of created beings counseling and conspiring against their Creator, to impeach Him, is laughable and will be mocked by the most high (Ps. 2:4-6). Furthermore, since God is the Creator of life, who dares to tell Him what He can and cannot do with His creation? And these people deserved what they would be getting. They spit at God, hold His name in contempt, mock Him, refuse to worship Him, commit all manner of atrocities including incest and homosexuality, and God is at fault in wiping them out? Those who dare bring a charge against God clearly have no sense of their sin and depravity before God. They know not the hot, fiery wrath of God poured out against them for their disobedience, and therefore can never comprehend and grasp the grace offered freely to all sinners who would repent of their sins through the atoning sacrifice in the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. If anything, they are the ones in the dock, not God who will judge everybody in the final judgment.
In conclusion, it is hoped that we would learn from the concept of cherem primarily and the examples of both the wicked Canaanites and the Israelites. Surely God who is over all desires for us to turn to Him, to cleave onto Him always in purity and oneness of heart, without compromise. Amen.

"The Plant-Powered Diet: The Lifelong Eating Plan for Achieving Optimal Health, Beginning Today " reviewed by Vanilla Chameleon on March 22, 2013
Start with a generous portion of health-focused motivation, stir in plenty of quick/easy recipes, then finish with a pinch of environmental awareness and, voila! You've got this reasonable introduction to shifting yourself towards a mostly plant-based diet.
I found this book informative yet easy to read with practical tips for increasing your veggie intake, and clear explanations of how and why doing so could lead to better health. While it provided a reasonable discussion of the philosophical benefits of going vegan, it steers clear of using scare tactics and won't send the occasional omnivore on a gustatory guilt trip.

Dolphins Receiver Says They're AFC East's Best
Free agency has helped give the Miami Dolphins the AFC East?s best receiving unit. So says Brian Hartline.
?Absolutely, I think we are," the Dolphins receiver said on ?NFL AM? on Monday morning. ?The whole passing game is an advantage of ours."
That might sound a bit strange for a team that ranked 26th in the league in passing last season. But consider the Dolphins re-signed Hartline and added talented receiver Mike Wallace and tight end Dustin Keller via free agency. Also, second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill will enter 2013 battle-tested.

Awesome. And actually I'd like to build a page similar to what you have there. In that you have what appears to be other taxonomies listed (states and countries). I assume that organizations is a post type or is that a taxonomy as well?
To give an example of what I'm trying to accomplish, I'm converting this static HTML site into WordPress: http://patiodepot-inc.com/AreasWeService/State-CALIFORNIA/
So with these custom post types I've created, I'd set a taxonomy for the location and then services provided in that location. In the example I provided, if you were to click on any one item, you'd then be sent to a second taxonomy page that lists the services for that area. Then clicking on any particular service takes you to the post of this custom post type. I hope this is all making sense.
I know this seems super convoluted for what it is, but it's how the customer wants it and I'm just trying to make it work with this Genesis child theme.
Thanks again for your help and input.December 15, 2012 at 6:58 am in reply to: Building a custom taxonomy page #5389
Thanks for the quick response John!
I'm still a novice when it comes to PHP, so forgive my ignorance with my questions.
With the above code, I assume I still have to have my <php> tags at the top and bottom? And looking at the code you provided, is it correct that this archive page will be listing all three custom taxonomies? Ideally, I'd like a separate page for each of the taxonomies...is that feasible by adjust the above code and making three different archive pages?

Ty Wigginton and Carlos Ruiz homered to back Vance Worley and the Philadelphia Phillies held on for a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Worley (4-4) allowed three runs and six hits in six-plus innings. Schwimer pitched out of a jam in the seventh, Antonio Bastardo worked the eighth and Jonathan Papelbon finished for his 18th save in 19 tries, but did allow a solo homer to Michael McKenry in the ninth.
Schwimer came in with runners on second and third, no outs and the Phillies clinging to a 4-3 lead. He retired Jose Tabata on a sharp bouncer to the mound. Then Neil Walker lofted a fly ball to shallow left and John Mayberry Jr. nailed McKenry trying to score with a perfect one-hop throw to the plate. "I was trying to stop myself from jumping in the crowd," Schwimer said. "I'm an emotional person. You have to be who you are. My plan of attack was just to execute pitches and go from there. Those are situations I love. I've gotten in trouble in the past by getting too excited. I've learned to channel that."
Ruiz hammered an 0-2 pitch to deep left for his career-best tenth homer to give the Phillies an insurance run in the eighth. Ruiz, a career .265 hitter coming into the year, leads the majors with a .361 average after his tenth three-hit game.
Pirates starter Erik Bedard (4-8) gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings. Pittsburgh came in with the best record in the NL since May 25 at 18-10. "There were some good things going on," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "He'd probably like the changeup back to Wigginton, but he kept us in the game."
The Phillies have won two straight to climb out of last place, and the five-time defending NL East champions could have some help on the way. Chase Utley was 2-for-5 with a homer in a game for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The five-time All-Star second baseman could make his season debut on Wednesday. He has missed the first three months because of chronic knee problems. Meanwhile, former NL MVP Ryan Howard will start a rehab stint at Class A Lakewood on Thursday if all goes well with an examination on his left Achilles in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Trailing 4-2 in the seventh, the Pirates rallied against Worley. Clint Barmes walked and McKenry singled. Pinch-hitter Drew Sutton followed with an RBI double down the left-field line. But Schwimer entered and closed the door. "He got out of a tough jam," manager Charlie Manuel said. "The more you succeed and leave that game on a positive, that helps your confidence."
The Pirates squandered another opportunity to tie it in the eighth after Andrew McCutchen led off with a double off Bastardo. Josh Harrison, pinch-hitting for cleanup hitter Garrett Jones, popped up a bunt that Ruiz ran down. Casey McGehee popped out and Pedro Alvarez struck out.
Wigginton gave Philadelphia a 4-1 lead in the third when he hit a two-run shot to left-center with two outs. McGehee's two-out RBI single in the sixth got the Pirates within 4-2. McCutchen, who had doubled, scored on the hit.
Notes: Brian Schneider had an MRI that revealed a high ankle sprain. He'll miss three to five weeks... Worley has a 2.70 ERA in five starts since returning from an elbow injury... James McDonald (6-3, 2.19) starts for the Pirates on Wednesday against an undetermined starter for Philadelphia. --- Rob Maaddi can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/RobMaaddi.

Featuring the only Core i7 processor in the category, Dino PC's Elmisaur 2600 stormed our WorldBench 6 speed test with 167 points. Yet it scored only two points more than the Best Buy Chillblast, which has potential for extra speed through overclocking.
Some cost-cutting measures have been essential in budgeting for the powerful processor. The Dino PC Elmisaur 2600's 21.5in AOC monitor is not only smaller than the 23.6in displays of the competition, but has inferior image quality.
The Dino PC Elmisaur 2600 has also taken a hit in the graphics department, with its nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti delivering slower framerates than the GTX 560 Ti and ATI Radeon HD 6870 cards seen elsewhere.
Other specifications are strong, with the Dino PC Elmisaur 2600 offering 8GB of RAM and a Z68-chipset motherboard. The latter allows access to the processor's accelerated video-conversion capabilities and automatic switching between the integrated and dedicated graphics, reducing power consumption and noise.
We discussed our concerns with Dino PC, which has made available a £749 PC with a GTX 560 graphics card and an otherwise matching specification. We recommend also upgrading to a Core i7-2600K processor to take full advantage of the Dino PC Elmisaur 2600's motherboard.

£750 PCs buying advice
Processor: Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs are revolutionising all our PC categories. The 3.3GHz Core i5-2500 seen here delivers formidable performance, but the Core i5-2400 is also very fast and costs less. The processors demand a new type of motherboard, so buying into this technology now will future-proof your PC.
If you want to eke out the best possible performance from your system, go for a Core i5-2500K CPU. The 'K' denotes that it's designed for overclocking. You'll also need a P67- or Z68-chipset motherboard, which won't support the CPU's integrated graphics.
Previous-generation chips such as the Core i5-760 are outclassed, but can still offer good value at the right price.
Every chip in Intel's Sandy Bridge Core i5 desktop family is quad-core, excluding some rare low-voltage versions.
Non-gamers should note that their integrated graphics chips will allow them to play full-HD video without a discrete graphics card.
Some AMD quad-core processors are also available in this price range, including the Phenom II X 975 BE. None can currently keep up with Intel's latest offerings, however.
Memory: A large bank of memory stops your PC from slowing down. Don't buy a PC with less than 4GB of RAM, and get a 64bit operating system to make the most of it. Consider 8GB if you'll be multitasking or using intensive programs.
Core i5- and i7-800-series CPUs use DDR3 memory rather than DDR2, but there's no need to buy the chips in threes (as you did with i7-900-series CPUs).
Storage: Digital media content will quickly fill a reasonably sized hard drive; choose a PC with the most capacious drive you can. Expect 1TB, but prices are low enough to find double this amount.
Consider using a pair of smaller hard drives rather than one large drive – 1TB is a huge amount of data to lose in one go.
With prices falling all the time, you may find a solid-state drive (SSD) affordable. An SSD's faster file transfers can transform your computing experience, but make sure you get one at least 60GB in capacity and install your programs on a second drive.
If you can't afford a large-capacity SSD, Z68 motherboards can use Smart Response Technology with a smaller SSD to boost hard-drive performance.
Your DVD drive should write to the +/-R formats at 18-speed or above. If you want to copy up to 8.5GB at once, look for fast DVDKR dual-layer drives. Blu-ray readers are still rare at this price.
Display: Note that 19in screens offer a lower resolution than 20in/22in monitors; 22in models display larger icons. Newer 21.6in (16:9) flat-panels are capable of displaying full-HD content, but onscreen elements will be even smaller. You'll find many budget 23.6in displays at this price.
DVI or HDMI will provide a better image than a VGA port. If you want to attach additional devices, you'll need two.
Finally, look for a good response time: 8ms or below is fast enough for games.
Graphics cards: We test graphics framerates with Crysis and Stalker: Call of Pripyat. The latter can benchmark DirectX 11.0-capable graphics cards. 25fps is enough to make a game playable, but set your sights at 50fps.
ATI's Radeon HD 6850 offers excellent performance for the money. Cut back on other components and step up to a Radeon HD 6870 or the newer 6950 if gaming is very important to you.
nVidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti also offers good performance. nVidia cards offer support for realistic object interactions in games supporting PhysX and are able to display 3D content.
If you don't play games at all, you'll be fine with the integrated graphics of Intel's Core i5 processors. The 'K' versions offer improved graphics performance over the standard versions.
Power supply: A 450W-plus power supply unit (PSU) is less vital at this price point, but look for a model with a full set of SATA and PCI Express connectors to make later upgrades easier.
Sound card and speakers: To get surround sound, look for a 5.1-channel system (five speakers and a subwoofer).

Family structure and employment of 15-year-olds
October 18, 2001
Employment among 15-year-olds did not vary much by family structure in 1994-97. The only exception involved those not living with parents.
Youths aged 15 in two-biological-parent, those in other two-parent families, and those in female-parent families all had about the same likelihood of working for pay, whether in employee jobs, or in freelance jobs, or both.
For those 15-year-olds not living with either parent, the percent employed was notably lower than for those living with a parent. Youths who do not live with a parent live in varied arrangements, including living with foster parents, grandparents, and other relatives, as well as living in group quarters.
Data on the employment experience and other characteristics of youths are a product of the National Longitudinal Surveys program. Note that jobs such as baby-sitting or yard work done on an as-needed basis or for multiple employers are considered to be "freelance" jobs. An "employee" job is defined as an ongoing relationship with a particular employer. Additional information is available from "Youth employment in the United States," by Donna S. Rothstein, Monthly Labor Review, August 2001.

I blame the lazy PS3 players.
It's a cover up! They want you to think they don't control it, so they fail objectives so people don't get suspicious!
I had a weird but intresting thought the other day.
Considering i romanced liara on my last playthrough, she now carries the biological marker of shepard.
Imagine the shadow broker with all her resources starts making an army of little shepards. When they all grow up with shepards charisma and combat skills they could conquer the galaxy with liara as the grand matriarch of the universe.
Considering how persuasive shepard can be there is no telling how many armies and "inside" people they can get working for them.
warp field to weaken its armor, let it close, then tech armor! - Turian hipster
Well, Shepard without her crew is nothing. Liara knows this. I know this. Everyone knows this.
And TBH I don't think there's room for another Shepard in this galaxy lol.

Comtesse de Croix-Mesnil
Portrait of two Mahometan women
Museum no. PH.3783-1904
Not a lot is known about the Comtesse de Croix-Mesnil. In the introduction to her commercially produced photograph album called Femmes d'Orient, she states that she had studied Islamic women for five years. It was her intention to let the women in the pictures express their own identity and personality. However, she used the same props, clothes and painted backdrops in many of the photographs and probably paid the models. This puts into question the relationship between the sitter and the image the photographer wishes to convey. The Portrait of Two Mahometan Women comes from the Femmes d'Orient album.

You may feel overwhelmed by emotions today. You may be struggling with feelings of anger or defiance against restrictions in your life, or you may feel troubled by feelings of sadness and frustration. One of the simplest ways to release these emotions is by venting them in a safe and private place. If you can spend some time working through your feelings today, you will be able to rise above them and make your day more productive. Some good ways to vent feelings are to write them in a journal or speak them aloud. Simply let your thoughts and feelings come forth unedited. With either activity, you are purging these unsettling emotions from your mind and body, which should help you to adopt a mind-set of peace and calm.
Expressing our emotions helps us feel lighter and more in control of our moods and mind-set. We often allow our emotions to affect our moods, forgetting that we can take control of our emotions at any time. While our first reaction might be to squelch our negative feelings, gaining control of our emotions is usually as simple as giving them a voice and allowing them full expression. This releases the buildup of energy within us, which helps us feel much lighter and freer again. We can then choose the type of mind-set we wish to embrace and return to our normal activities feeling inspired. By allowing your emotions full expression today, you will be releasing yourself from the influence they have on your moods.

After surgery, you will go to the cardiothoracic surgery intensive care unit (ICU) where a doctor and nurses are always very close by if you need anything. At first, you will be under the effects of anesthesia. You will have many IVs, special tubes and initially a breathing tube. Once you wake up and breathe on your own, the breathing tube will be removed. With either incision, nerves can be cut resulting in various degrees of decreased sensation.
Various tubes and equipment will be used to monitor how well your lungs and body are recovering after surgery:
- IVs (intravenous tubes) will help you receive fluids and medications. A special IV called a pulmonary artery catheter (Swan Ganz catheter) in your neck vein will measure the pressures in your heart and lungs and tell the surgeon how well your new lungs are functioning.
- A heart monitor will record your heart rate and rhythm at all times.
- Tubes in your chest near the bottom of your incision and possibly on the sides of your chest will drain the blood and fluid that collect in your chest after the operation. They are usually removed several days after the surgery.
- A small tube, called a foley catheter, in your bladder will help us measure how well your kidneys are working. This tube will be taken out a couple of days after your surgery, and then you will urinate on your own.
- An epidural catheter may be placed to manage your pain. Later you will receive IV pain medication that you dose yourself through a special patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device.
A typical stay in the ICU is three to seven days. You will then be transferred to the thoracic surgery floor where our nurses and physical therapists will help you regain your strength, teach you how to care for yourself when you go home, and prepare you for discharge from the hospital. If all goes well, you can expect to spend one to two weeks on the thoracic surgery floor before your discharge. You may be asked to stay at the Mason Guest House or other local housing facility for general needs after discharge from the hospital.

Democrat Dan Maffei and Republican Dale Sweetland, two congressional candidates with starkly contrasting views on almost every issue, finally found something to agree on Sunday: Both said there's no substitute for face-to-face meetings with voters.
As the two made their final push in their campaigns for Congress, they ended up walking door-to-door Sunday; Sweetland made the rounds in East Syracuse in the afternoon while Maffei knocked on doors until dusk in Cicero.
"People like to see you," Sweetland said as he walked the village streets in East Syracuse. "They want to look you in the eyes. And one thing I've learned: They don't like politicians."
Maffei targeted likely voters in Cicero. He considers fast-growing Cicero one of the battleground towns in Onondaga County.
"I want to meet as many potential voters as possible and get them to vote," Maffei said as he campaigned with his wife, Abby, in a housing development off Lakeshore Road.
In East Syracuse, Sweetland was accompanied by his wife, Sue. They were introduced to voters by village Mayor Dan Liedka and James Carr Jr., a village trustee, who served as guides.
Both Maffei and Sweetland were immediately recognized by most voters, and often greeted enthusiastically by people surprised to see a candidate standing at their door -- perhaps a measure of voter interest in the race to pick the Syracuse area's first new member of Congress in 20 years. Rep. James Walsh, R-Onondaga, is retiring at the end of his term in January.
On the campaign trail Sunday, most voters indicated they had made up their minds. And neither Sweetland nor Maffei made big pitches to sway voters. The candidates kept it simple, asking for support and volunteering to help those who need a ride to the polls or in locating their polling station.
In East Syracuse, Tom Gallery, 30, a state trooper who moved back to Central New York in July, was among those who has made up his mind. He said he plans to vote for Sweetland.
"I'm pretty much going on party lines and word of mouth," said Gallery, who stood in his driveway and watched as Sweetland greeted the family dog and had a conversation with his son, Gordon, 3.
"What were you for Halloween?" Sweetland asked.
"An alligator," Gordon replied.
"I bet you got a lot of candy," Sweetland said. "How old are you?"
"Three," Gordon replied. His father quickly added that Gordon's fourth birthday is Wednesday, the day after Election Day.
Gallery said he hopes Sweetland will do something to stop Central New York from losing more jobs and people who move elsewhere for employment opportunities.
"A lot of friends I went to high school with moved other places," he said, "and there are not too many of us who moved back."
In Cicero, Maffei was greeted enthusiastically by about a dozen people, starting the moment he stepped out of his car. "It's Dan Maffei!" Ieva Doyle said as she and her husband, Jim, walked their dog, Beanie.
"I'm looking forward to voting for you," Ieva Doyle volunteered, adding that she wants to see big change in Washington, D.C., and believes Democrats are in the best position to deliver.
Maffei thanked her, petted Beanie, and added with a smile, "I've also been endorsed by the Humane Society."
Likewise, Maffei was greeted by a big smile when Bev Gracz opened her door.
"Hi, I'm Dan Maffei and I'd like to ask for your vote on Election Day," Maffei said.
"You've got it," Gracz replied. "I can't wait. I'm all for change. And I'm very concerned about the economy."
Howie Hawkins, the candidate on the Green Populist line, said he hopes the "change" voters go his way. He spent the day greeting people in Valley Plaza and on Marshall Street in Syracuse and along South Salina Street on the city's South Side. Based on how he was received, Hawkins said it appears his support is growing.
"I'm out on the street and people are saying hi to me like we're long-lost friends," Hawkins said.

Lost to the Ages
|Complete "Lost to the Ages"
This is a sidequest from the DLC. There are 2 ways to trigger it. You can find a book called The Aetherium Wars or you can go to Arkngthamz and you can meet up with Katria's ghost to activate the quest. This is a somewhat lengthy quest and you will need a good amount of lockpicks and a decent lockpicking skill (I was around 60) Also Bring a crossbow/bow and a good chunk of Arrows/bolts. Projectile style Destruction magic also works for the tonal locks.
The book ''The Aetherium Wars'' can be found:
The tonal lock requires a a crossbow to complete. You must shoot each of the 5 parts in a certain order in order to unlock the door. Start bottom left to bottom right to top left to top right to middle.
You also have the option of getting more materials to use at the forge which if you just want the achievement just skip this extra part of the quest and use the forge to make 1 of the 3 items and then the achievement pops when you finish on the forge.
