As Halloween approaches, we are interested in all things spooky.
Since art is everywhere, I thought a discussion of the art found in one of the spookiest of locales might prove of interest - graveyard art. Carved grave markers and sculpted headstones that dot cemetery landscapes have a rich history.
The first grave markers were actually boulders. These great stones were thought to be a good solution to keep the dead from rising out of their graves. It was thought that if heavy rocks were placed on the grave sites of the deceased, they would not be able to climb out from underneath them. These early grave markers were not highly decorative, but that tradition changed by the onset of the 16th century.

The highlight of graveyard artistry came in the latter part of the 1800s, when more people visited graveyards. Cemeteries became more survivor-friendly. Graveyards evolved into tree-filled park settings.
The living felt the need to mark graves with stones as a reminder of the person buried there. Many American artisans responsible for gravestone carving were masons or stoneworkers. Gravestones were carved with frightful motifs like angels of death and winged skeletons. Some of the most popular imagery found on gravestones relates to death and the journey from this world to the otherworld.
From circa 1700 to 1780, some of the popular images on gravestones were skull and crossbones. The symbolism apropos for a grave marker was that the skull of the deceased would have wings that would fly his or her soul to heaven. Some of the more common motifs found on gravestones include hourglasses, a symbol of the passage of time, and youthful winged figures reserved for those who died young.
In the early 1800s, flowers, weeping willow trees and classical urns offered a more classical view of death than earlier grave stones.
By the Victorian period, circa 1838-1901, the references to death on gravestones emerge as far less frightening and intimidating than earlier examples.
The highlight of graveyard artistry came in the latter part of the 1800s, when more people visited graveyards. Cemeteries became more survivor-friendly. Graveyards evolved into tree-filled park settings. Many cemeteries emerged as highly appropriate sites to host a Sunday picnic at the flower-decorated grave of a loved one.
Grieving angels, classical muses and sleeping children all took their place in early 20th century gravestone art. Spilled flowers and broken columns were common symbols of a life ended too soon. In addition, subject matter such as opened books, broken tools or other images indicating work left incomplete was selected by grieving families to represent the contributions of a dearly missed loved one.
This Halloween, remember to take a moment and consider the spooky yet sensational works of art of your local graveyard.

1. Hero's Story
Torment around me. Torment in me. Torment be with me. And let us conquer our foes. They do not understand our pain. Do you? No. Not a soul can. And for that, We shall make them feel the torment... The torment that inhabits my soul.
2. Hero's Introduction
Leshrac is someone whose AoE damage potential is not to be underestimated. He has an AoE stun that deals nice damage by itself, an AoE spell that has huge damage potential in the absence of creeps, an AoE spell that deals decent damage at a potentially long range, and yet another AoE spell that has very powerful damage potential all-around (yet mana-taxing).
I hope that with this guide, we both learn from the experiences that I will relay to you, and try playing Leshrac a few times. Wishing you all the best.
3. Hero's Info & Stats
[+] Above-average movement speed
[+] Good non-ultimate spells
[+] Huge AoE damage potential; provided that he survives long enough and has enough mana
[-] Item-dependent because of extreme survivability, mana and regeneration needs
[-] Slow casting point of 0.7 seconds (coupled with 3 spells needed to cast)
[-] Split Earth can be hard to aim for newer players

5. Hero's Skill Build
Level 1 - Split Earth
Level 2 - Lightning Storm
Level 3 - Lightning Storm
Level 4 - Split Earth
Level 5 - Lightning Storm
Level 6 - Split Earth
Level 7 - Lightning Storm
Level 8 - Split Earth
Level 9 - Diabolic Edict
Level 10 - Diabolic Edict
Level 11 - Diabolic Edict
Level 12 - Diabolic Edict
Level 13 - Pulse Nova
Level 14 - Pulse Nova
Level 15 - Attribute Bonus
Level 16 - Pulse Nova
Level 17+ - Attribute Bonus
Skill Build Justification:
Split Earth at level 1 because it prevents or seals first blood attempts you might encounter. Then, we max Lightning Storm first because it is our laning spell; maxing Split Earth alongside it.
Diabolic Edict is taken later because 1. Lightning Storm has a potential AoE of 1350, way more than Edict's 500; 2. early game is about laning, and Diabolic Edict is weak in a lane due to creeps; and 3. Leshrac's HP makes it dangerous for him to get into that range, unless if he will follow up an ally disable with Split Earth.
Pulse Nova is taken at 13/14/16 because Leshrac's mana pool is still small at that time. By the time that you reach level 13, you should be on your way to your main mana item, which makes it possible for you to handle 4 active spells while letting Pulse Nova last for a decent duration.
All of Leshrac's spells are important and must be maxed out as soon as possible, hence, Attribute Bonuses are taken last. Some actually advocate giving up a spell for extra attributes, but on Leshrac, these attributes are measly compared to the potential benefits his spells can give.
An alternative skill build for fast tower sieges (and quicker kills) would be replacing Lightning Storm or Split Earth (usually Split Earth is replaced because Lightning is better against creeps) with an earlier Diabolic Edict. This poses more risk than the conventional build because these builds are weaker when Leshrac is alone but may shine when used on coordinated games. In my opinion, outside of a very aggressive pushing line-up, this is inferior to the conventional build of Lightning+Split Earth.
6. Hero's Item Build
Possible Late Game Items
Item Build Justification:
Boots - self-explanatory.
Urn of Shadows, Bracer(s), and Magic Wand - Urn of Shadows can be gotten if there are no better bearers for this item (i.e. roamers). It is good because Leshrac benefits from everything it gives. Magic Wand is completed to have more slots for more items, as well as being a very good item by itself. If there is an Urn of Shadows bearer on your team, upgrade your Gauntlets into Bracers instead.
Aghanim's Scepter - good item overall on Leshrac because of the build-up. It also increases your ultimate's damage. Also adds good amounts of EHP comparable to Bloodstone. This is preferable in shorter games, because Bloodstone's regen goes a long way in farming up your items. Generally better if your team wants Leshrac just to nuke as much as possible before dying (you have some other carries or something).
Aghanim's Scepter vs Bloodstone
This is a series of calculations that I made to help me revise my item build. At the moment, I am currently leaning on Aghanim's Scepter.
The benefits that are directly comparable are the HP and Mana (although regen from both can be compared, Aghanim's as a stand-alone item gives a minimal amount to be compared to Bloodstone).
*I am not a mech fag; feel free to correct me on my calculations.*
As for HP, it is 390 versus 450. But in terms of EHP, we should take armor bonuses (specifically from the agility bonus from Aghanim's) into account.
Each point of agility adds 1/7 armor, and each point of armor adds 6% to your EHP. So, the armor bonus of Aghanim's is 1 3/7, or roughly 1.42. This armor value adds 8.52 % to your EHP. Factoring the armor bonus into the EHP calculation, Aghanim's as a stand-alone gives 423 EHP against physical attacks, while 390 EHP against other sources.
For mana, the difference is bigger. 280 versus 400. But considering that Pulse Nova's damage is boosted, meaning that after a certain usage of your ultimate, then the mana difference is compensated.
At level 16, Leshrac has 949 base mana (level 1 Attribute Bonus). Assuming that Leshrac went for Urn of Shadows, Magic Wand, and a Bracer, these items improve Leshrac's mana to 1027.
With Aghanim's, your total mana is 1307; while with Bloodstone, your total mana is 1427. Assuming that no other spells are used, it takes a Scepter Leshrac 20 seconds to burn through the total mana pool while dealing 3540 magical damage. On the other hand, Bloodstone Leshrac takes 22 seconds to run out of mana while dealing 3168 magical damage. Scepter Leshrac has the upper hand here.
But since you will use your spells at almost every team clash, Leshrac won't start with full mana. So in the next calculation, we will remove 610 mana (Stun+Edict+2x Lightning) from the mana pool.
Scepter Leshrac has 697 starting mana, and will run out of mana in 9 seconds while dealing 1593 magical damage from Pulse Nova. Bloodstone Leshrac has 817 starting mana, and will run out of mana in 11 seconds while dealing 1584 magical damage. Scepter Leshrac is ahead because team battles last for only about 6-10 seconds, and Scepter Leshrac gives more damage than Bloodstone Leshrac over a shorter time. You may lack the regen that Bloodstone provides, but you can take it afterward, can't you?
Situational Items
Late Game Item Justifications:
Boots of Travel is the upgrade of choice on Leshrac, as the mobility is always nice, and the slot for TP scrolls becomes juicier by the minute.
Heart of Tarrasque is the single best survival item on Leshrac. Because of his low HP, resistance items are less useful.
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse is a good item by itself. Bonuses to all stats, mana regen, and Hex is always great on Leshrac.
Bloodstone is an item that I designated as luxury. Despite the nerfs, Bloodstone is still nice on Leshrac because it gives him HP, mana, and regen. Not to mention that Leshrac dies often in team battles due to being a high priority target, so the bonuses on death are quite handy. Generally better if Leshrac is designated as the primary carry (or if you are able to farm a lot).
Situational Item Justification:
Shiva's Guard is a good item to supplement your AoE damage, as well as increasing your armor. I would actually say that this is more of an ultra-luxury item, because on Leshrac, straight-up HP is better than resistances. Some situations make it better than getting a Hex, though.
Kelen's Dagger is a good all-around mobility item. It is a good item on you if your team has blinking initiators. It is also good as a luxury to make use of BKB's 5 second duration to its fullest.
Empty Bottle is a good idea if you are soloing the middle lane. Even without runes, it is still a decent source of both HP and mana regen (if coupled with a personal crow, it could even fund Leshrac's mana needs during laning). Leshrac needs both because we don't want to get instagibbed, right?
Linken's Sphere is a good item only in the few cases that there are huge silencers that you can't avoid/block (Doom for example). For more info, see Nix's Linken's Sphere Guide.
Eul's Scepter of Divinity is a cheap item that provides some mana, mana regen, and Cyclone. It is nice to help you set up Split Earths, as well as positioning yourself thanks to the +20 MS. But this is mainly a fallback item because it provides zero survivability (unless if you plan on using Cyclone on yourself while Diabolic Edict takes effect).
Soul Ring and Ghost Scepter are some situational items that might help you in some cases. In Soul Ring's case, the Sacrifice ability might help you churn out a little more DPS if you've got the HP to spare, while Ghost Scepter allows you to evade the most brutal beating of DPS heroes at the cost of being vulnerable to casters.
7. Hero's Strategy
+ + /
Point #1: Having a Good Dual Lane
Leshrac is well known for being able to create lethal combos with heroes that have some sort of disable, especially stuns. It is preferable that you have an opening disable to make sure your Split Earth will hit. Whether it be a slow or a stun, as long as it is reliable in the sense that they would hit easily, Leshrac can make use of an ally ranging from a Mortred (not recommended, but better than nothing) to a Sven. Do not be a free target whenever possible; Leshrac can't take much harassment.
A Leshrac with a good partner capable of initiating for him (ex. SandK, Sven, SkelK, etc.) can go with said partner laning on the hard lane (Sentinel top/Scourge bottom).
Point #2: Soloing as Leshrac
If you are soloing middle lane, it is recommended that you buy a set of Observer Wards in order to help control your lane with Lightning Storm. If you are asked to solo another lane (say, you have a jungler or something), then solo the long lane (Sent bot/Scourge top) because the top lane is way too dangerous for a hero like Leshrac, who has no escape mechanisms nor good amounts of survivability. It is recommended to give your solo lane to another hero that might need it more, though, as Leshrac isn't too shabby at a dual lane.
Point #3: Lightning Storm Harassment Using Lightning Storm to harass is much better than with normal attacks (aside from dual melee lanes, well) due to the added range. Lightning Storm can jump up to 1350 range from your original location, use it!
Mid Game
, then
Point #1: Choosing Your Big Item By now, you should be on the way towards your first big item. Should it be Bloodstone or Aghanim's Scepter? Regardless of your decision, going for Point Booster first will work wonders because it is a good item for its cost; not to mention that the two big items require this one.
Point #2: Balancing Farming, Pushing and Ganking Try to find a healthy balance between the two. If there are little farming opportunities or allies come and gank your lane, then feel free to help. If there are little lane farming opportunities and friendly ganks, then the neutrals are always there to give you gold. Diabolic Edict is good at taking bigger camps, while smaller ones might need only a Lightning Storm to be cleared.
Remember to also push whenever possible. If your team is dominating, an extra tower down can surely help in maintaining your team's momentum. Again, Leshrac is good at this.
Point #3: What if you are ganked? Leshrac is a gank target due to the potential damage that he can bring in teamfights, as well as being squishy. If you are ganked, don't panic.
First of all, cast Edict first. Why? Because it scares them at the very least; it heavily damages them at the very most. If they are in range for Pulse Nova, then activate it. It is recommended to use Split Earth as early as possible if you are ganked by only one enemy/it will hit all the gankers so if there is a countergank, you can have it ready again. Do NOT use Lightning Storm unless if that will finish off a ganker; it gives you little for its cost when you are ganked because you will lose precious time and mana, and can mean an extra second of Pulse Nova and movement.
If possible, juke through tree paths or create your own using Split Earth because Pulse Nova and Diabolic Edict hits invisible/fogged targets, regardless if you are in fog or not. Also, use your items accordingly, and if you think that you can overpower the ganker(s), then do so.
Late Game
Any of these items:
Point #1: 5v5 Team Battles First and foremost, activate Pulse Nova. You need it to deal as much damage as possible. Then cast Split Earth on as many enemies as possible. Use it ASAP so if you are lucky to live through, you may use it again during a chase. It is your discretion on which of the other two spells should come first; Diabolic if you are low on HP, Lightning if not.
Point #2: Smaller Skirmishes Whenever possible, try to finish these smaller skirmishes with your three basic spells, because Pulse Nova is way too mana intensive for these smaller fights.
Point #3: What if all doesn't go well and you are forced to turtle? Leshrac is great at turtling with Pulse Nova, provided that he can get near creeps safely. He is only decent with Lightning Storm. Stay as far back as possible; you don't want those invaders to get near you during your 0.7 second cast point.
7b. Hero's Key Points
Lightning Storm Harassment
As I have stated in the Early Game section, using Lightning Storm makes harassing easier, and makes your enemies have a harder time in lane; all the while putting you from harm's way. To do this, target Lightning Storm on the creepwave, then watch as it bounces from foe to foe to the hero. Make sure that you have vision of the enemy, though. Lightning Storm will not hit him if he is fogged/invisible.
Using Your Spells in Pushes
Lightning Storm is still a good way to harass your enemies and at the same time damages the creepwave. Remember that it has a 6 second cooldown. Diabolic Edict is a great tower pushing tool; use it whenever creeps aren't around, and will not be around for the next 8 seconds. Doing so will result in a tower down, unless if the enemy team uses their Glyph for it. Using Pulse Nova can be necessary if you need to turbo-push the lane by yourself or if you have minimal assistance; otherwise, save it for heroes unless if you have huge amounts of mana regen already. Reserve your Split Earth for enemy heroes.
Spell Priority During Team Battles
Leshrac is not someone who should prioritize his enemies in team battles, due to his spells being AoE. Instead, he should prioritize which spells will he cast in a limited time due to his low HP and long cast point.
Activate Pulse Nova first and foremost; we want it to deal as much damage as possible while you're alive. Then, Split Earth for that stun unless if your enemies are still disabled. Lightning Storm comes next because its cooldown allows you to use it again for cleaning up. Diabolic Edict should come after Lightning Storm in most cases to ensure maximum damage from it; having low HP by the time that you're done casting Split Earth warrants casting this before Lightning Storm, as this persists through death.
8. Hero's Hero Synergy
Magical Damage Amplification
They have a disable of some sort, making them a good ally as well for aiming Split Earth. Also, they allow you to deal more damage due to their spells; only that their damage amplification abilities are hard to position well.
Mana Batteries
They are good sources of mana. Mana for Leshrac=farming. And their use aren't limited by just providing mana; both can help you set your Split Earth accurately.
Good Supporting Abilities
All of them can provide you with some extra survivability, allowing you to deal more damage. Mekansm and Pipe carriers are also included here.
*Huskar's Inner Vitality heals based on your primary attribute, and since we will be pumping INT in our builds, then it will heal a good amount on you as well.
Leshrac can't finish off enemies that well, but they can, in your stead. Slardar is highly recommended.
9. Hero's Screens and Additional Strategy
No screenies ATM, I will try to find a decent game where I can base those screenshots.

§4 ch9: Permanent Outcomes for Children
9.6 Operation of the Family Support Team (FST)/Permanency Planning Review Team (PPRT) Meeting
All team members, required and invited, are considered full partners in the review process and should attend the entire FST/PPRT meeting and have the opportunity to fully participate in the development of the child's case plan.
All information provided at meetings or administrative hearings regarding removal of a child is confidential except:
- A parent or a party may waive confidentiality for himself or herself;
- Any parent has the absolute right to audiotape or videotape such meeting to the extent allowed by the law;
- No parent or party shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement before testifying or providing information at such meeting or hearing; and
- Any person, other than a parent or party, who does not agree to maintain confidentiality, may be excluded from any portion of the meeting during which he/she is not testifying or providing information.
The Children's Service Worker is responsible for developing the Child Assessment and Service Plan, CS-1, to be used at the initial 30 day FST and every 30 days thereafter until court adjudication. The CS-1 should then be updated every six (6) months and when there is a major change in the case such as a change in the permanency plan or placement change. A completed CS-1 will be distributed to both parents and any other party within five (5) days of the FST.
At the beginning of each FST/PPRT meeting the Children's Division shall state: "All information provided in this meeting is confidential. Any one not agreeing to keep information disclosed confidential can be asked to leave the meeting for any portion in which he/she is not testifying." Documentation of those in agreement or disagreement should be included in the CS-1.
9.6.1 Composition of the Participants in FST/PPRT Meetings
Participants who are required to be invited and/or participate:
- Individuals who must be invited to Family Support Team meetings include:
- All parents,
- Youth age 13 and older,
- Legal counsel for the parents,
- Resource providers,
- Legal guardian for the child,
- Juvenile officer,
- The Guardian ad Litem (GAL), and
- The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA).
Upon appointment by the court to a case, the GAL is to be informed of and have the right to attend any and all FST/PPRT meetings involving the child. Family members, (other than alleged perpetrator), or other community formal or informal service providers may be invited at the discretion of the family. The parents, the legal counsel for them and the resource providers may request that other individuals, other than alleged perpetrators, be permitted to attend such meetings.
- A youth age 13 or over must be invited to attend each FST/PPRT and given the opportunity to participate in the development of his/her case plan. The expectation is that youth age 13 and over will attend their FST/PPRT unless the worker and the supervisor agree that there is a valid reason why the youth cannot attend. The meetings should be held at a time that is convenient for the youth and family. Scheduling a meeting during school hours would not be considered convenient for the youth. In addition, House Bill 154 states that students may not be penalized for absences resulting from required court hearings or court-related activities, including FSTs.
- With the approval of the immediate supervisor, a child under the age of 13 may participate in the FST/PPRT. The child is considered "age appropriate" if he/she is able to understand the circumstances and implications of his out-of-home care status.
- Staff may consider including their Children's Service Specialist in the decision-making process when appropriate. Participants involved in the decision-making process should be clearly identified and documented in the case record pursuant to CS-1 instructions in place.
- An objective third party reviewer is not required at FST meetings, but is required to be invited to, and participate in each PPRT meeting. The third party reviewer is someone who is not responsible for the case management of, or the delivery of services to the child or the parents.
A third party reviewer may be Children's Division staff, if the individual is not responsible for and does not have knowledge of the case. The desired preference of the Children's Division is to utilize outside stakeholders, to the best extent possible, as third-party participants.
Once a person is provided notice of a FST/PPRT meeting, CD shall provide notice of subsequent meetings. The letter of notification to all other team members and age appropriate youth must also include a copy of the CS-1 to be submitted at the FST/PPRT.
- Individuals who must be invited to Family Support Team meetings include:
9.6.2 Scheduling and Notification of FST/PPRT Meetings
The Family Support Team shall meet to review the case plan and provide recommendations for the provision of services for children when the court has ordered a pre-custodial evaluation be completed.
Staff are to meet with the family within 24 hours of the initial placement and conduct Family Support Team meetings within 72 hours, and 30 days from the date of the initial placement in order to manage initial placement and visitation activities and to establish a case plan. Subsequent FST meetings are then to be held every thirty days until court adjudication and as needed, or required, thereafter.
FSTs should be held in order to make key decisions and for the purpose of:
- Determining service and treatment needs;
- Determining the need for placement and developing a plan for reunification or other permanency options;
- Determining the appropriate placement of the child;
- Evaluating case progress, and
- Establishing and revising the case plan.
Permanency Planning Reviews (Administrative Reviews) are to be conducted prior to the date of the child's sixth month in care, and every six (6) months thereafter as long as CD has custody. PPRs are to determine:
- The safety of the child;
- The continuing necessity for and appropriateness of the placement;
- The extent of compliance with the case plan;
- The extent and progress which has been made in alleviating or mitigating the causes necessitating placement in foster care; and
- To project a likely date by which the child may be returned to and maintained in the home or placed for adoption or legal guardianship.
Two (2) weeks prior written notification must be given to the team participants, including the time and place of the review. Meetings should be scheduled when it is convenient for the youth and the family. If possible, all FST members should be accommodated, but the youth and the family are critical members of the team. The letter of notification to the parents must also include an explanation:
- Of the purpose of the FST/PPRT;
- That attendance is not a requirement, but is encouraged;
- The right of the parents to bring someone with them; and
- A copy of the CS-1 to be presented at the FST/PPRT, if required.
Upon appointment by the court to a case, the GAL is to be informed of and have the right to attend any and all FST/PPRT meetings involving the child.
The letter of notification to all other team members must also include a copy of the CS-1 to be submitted at the FST/PPRT, if required.
9.6.3 Reporting the FST/PPRT Meeting
All pertinent information must be recorded on the CS-1 to be maintained in the child's section of the case file. A copy must be submitted to the jurisdictional court. Each participant of the review should complete, at a minimum, the recommendation section of the CS-1. These recommendations will be summarized on the file copy. This information is to be sent to the jurisdictional court and the child's parents.
The completed CS-1, and Adolescent FST Guide & Individualized Action Plan for youth age 14 or over, should be submitted to court as a replacement for the six-month court report or in conjunction with the submittal of the six-month court report.
If a CS-1 is completed for the meeting, the parents and resource providers should be provided with a copy of the completed CS-1, either directly after the FST/PPRT meeting or within five (5) days through the mail.
There are no exceptions to conducting the FST/PPRT. A child must have a FST/PPRT even though it is anticipated that the child will be reunified with parents within a short period of time; or, the Division is planning to place the child for adoption within a short period of time. In other words, FST/PPRTs are conducted according to the time schedule as long as the Division has custody.

I've heard several people talking about buying cases of 1,000 rounds at a time. I've never seen ammo in quantities like that at any gun store, show or catalog I have ever seen. Could anybody tell me where to get a case like that?
Thanks a bunch

|Do you have your pumpkins yet?
While there was no official competition or rules, the kids living on Lords Manor Way in L section of Rohnert Park gathered Monday night for an impromptu pumpkin carving session.
A covered table, a bowl of soapy water, magic markers and child-safe carving tools were set out in the front yard of the home of the Russell family, and like a hummingbird feeder its attraction required little effort. About a dozen children and their parents gathered in the last remnants of the rain to carve funny and scary faces on their pumpkins.
Natalie Delgado, showing patience beyond her years, sat and watched as her mother Andrea drew a face, and then cut out the pumpkin. While she could not decide if she liked the taste of pumpkin on her fingers, she pulled the seeds and pulp out like a pro.
Neighbors Jessee Gerhardt and Nicolas Rojas worked feverishly to create the scary face pumpkins. Gerhardt spent considerable time making sure that the mouth he had carved was large enough to bite his hand.
The children spent more than an hour creating their Halloween decorations, each taking time to inspect and show off their artwork to friends and family. This was the first time that many of the children had ever carved a pumpkin. Even before they had finished, the children were asking their parents if they could gather next year for another carving session.

With Kurt Warner onto bigger and better things (Dancing With The Stars), the Arizona Cardinals have been left with an enormous void in their selection of quarterbacks.
Kurt Warner had a fairytale career, and it is hard to argue with his talent or his presence.
But now the Arizona Cardinals have to choose between two mediocre quarterbacks to try and lead the team to another winning season.
We've all seen what Derek Anderson can do (and it isn't much), but Arizona fans are still unsure of what Matt Leinart could still offer their team.
He looks great on paper: BCS titles, numerous bowl game MVP awards, and a Heisman.
But what have you done for me lately, Matty?
He's no Kurt Warner, and here is a list of ten reasons he won't turn into one.

'August,' 'Pacific,' 'Boeing' triumph
The difference between "Boeing-Boeing" now and "Boeing-Boeing" then? When the play first played the Rialto in the 1960s, it flopped. This year, it won the Tony for play revival.
Brit producer Sonia Friedman, also behind the upcoming Broadway transfer of Kristin Scott Thomas in "The Seagull," explains it like this: "We're through political correctness," she said. "We're out the other side."
* * *
"Salsa is like a sauce of styles, and 'In the Heights' is the same way," said Andy Blankenbuehler after his win for choreography for "Heights." "We just mashed up every style we thought landed the moment."
Up next for Blankenbuehler: Choreographing a number for "So You Think You Can Dance" and then the upcoming Rialto tuner version of "9 to 5."
But first, he attributed his Tony to the dancers who helped fill the "blueprint" of his choreography. "This belongs so much to them."
* * *
Set designer Todd Rosenthal managed to get a house onstage — or a skeletal version of it, anyway — for his winning play design for "August: Osage County."
In the script, scribe Tracy Letts gave a four-page description of the nine rooms that needed to be seen onstage.
"I was really interested in combining the whimsy of a dollhouse with something a little more Gothic," Rosenthal said.
* * *
"Everybody in the world can tell you what Bali Ha'i looks like," said winning musical set designer Michael Yeargan of the challenge of designing the fabled tropical island in "South Pacific."
"It's almost like a state of mind," he said. "We didn't want to do a little grass hut."
That onstage mountain that magically appears and disappears in the distance is the result of an old legit trick called a "translucent drop." "Everybody thinks it's a projection," Yeargan laughed.
* * *
Catherine Zuber appearing on the podium was hardly a surprise. Her Tony for the costumes of "South Pacific" was her fourth consecutive win in the category.
"I'm on air," she said.
Clearly a costume designer for all seasons, she'll be moving on to design "A Man for All Seasons" at the Roundabout, in a revival starring Frank Langella, and then she and the "South Pacific" team will get together again for an opera staging of "Romeo and Juliet" in Salzburg.
* * *
New this year were the sound design categories for both play and tuner. Inaugural kudos were the result of long years of campaigning by legiters to recognize the little-understood art of theatrical audio design.
"It's everything the audience hears that isn't the actors' unamplified voice," explained the winner for sound design of a play, Mic Pool, who picked up the laurel for "The 39 Steps."
* * *
Rondi Reed tried to turn down her Tony-winning featured role in "August: Osage County."
Four times. Even though scribe Tracy Letts wrote the part for her.
"I didn't even read the play," she said. "I turned it down because I was happily ensconced in 'Wicked' in Chicago."
The lesson she learned from it all?
"When I get out of my own way and shut up, I'm better off!" she laughed.
* * *
Jim Norton's Tony for featured actor in a play is his second big-time honor for his role in Conor McPherson's "The Seafarer." He won the Olivier for his perf in London.
"It's two for the price of one," he quipped.
He played a blind drunkard in "Seafarer," so he did a lot of falling down onstage. "When the show was over, I was covered in bruises!"
The McPherson play he's in now, "Port Authority" at Off Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company, is far more gentle, he said.
* * *
"I've never had so much panic in my whole life," said helmer Bartlett Sher of directing the first Broadway revival of the 50-year-old Rodger & Hammerstein musical "South Pacific."
"Every single place I went, all I heard was, 'That's the greatest musical I've ever seen.' Which was really terrifying. We felt like we could only fail."
Far from failing, Sher and his designers all picked up Tonys.
The race-themed tuner struck a chord, Sher said, in part because race figures prominently in the current presidential contest.
* * *
Laura Benanti of "Gypsy" talked up her real-life mother as the anti-Mama Rose in her acceptance speech for supporting actress in a tuner.
"She's my voice teacher, and she's an incredible woman," she said, describing how her mom gave up a Broadway career to raise a family. "She gave up her dream so I could have mine," she continued, tearing up.
Benanti won critical raves for her onstage transformation from awkward tomboy Louise to seductive stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. It's a role that no other actress has won a Tony for.
* * *
The Tony Boyd Gaines picked up Sunday night — for supporting actor in a musical for his perf in "Gypsy" — was his fourth.
Gaines said he sends his trophies to his mother in California, because he doesn't like having them around.
"When you walk by them, they go, 'Hey. Hey, what've you done lately?' " he said.
He added he didn't expect to win this time around.
"Someone on the subway stopped me and said, 'Oh, I'm sorry about the Tony,'" he explained. "I assumed they knew something I didn't."
* * *
Tony night for big winner — including best play — "August: Osage County" was bittersweet for many cast members, since five of them played their last Rialto perfs in the show on Sunday.
"The last couple days have been really emotional at the theater," said Anna D. Shapiro, who picked up the Tony for her direction of the Pulitzer-winning play. "There's been a lot of crying, and these guys don't cry that easily."
For Shapiro, winning the award was overhwhelming. "I thought I was going to faint. Martha Plimpton gave me a beta-blocker that didn't work," she said.
From "August," Shapiro moves on to a revival of the Thornton Wilder classic, "Our Town," in Chicago.
And then there's the rumor that she's taking the original cast of "August" to London for a run at the National Theater in November. "That's a good rumor," she said.
* * *
Deanna Dunagan, who won the lead actress in a play kudo for "August: Osage County," was backstage when the show picked up the top play Tony. She threw both arms in the air and screamed.
Dunagan described the difference between starring in a play in Chicago, her hometown (where "August" originated), and appearing on the Rialto.
"There is no way to be prepared for New York," she said. "In Chicago, I get recognized maybe once a month. I walk out my door here and people say, 'May I hug you?' "
* * *
Playwright Tracy Letts, who scored the Tony for a play — not to mention the Pulitzer, along with a slew of other laurels — is no stranger to winning awards for "August: Osage County." But the press room backstage at the Tonys was still a little wacky for him, as he stood on the podium looking out into the lights.
"I'm blind. You're all at computers. It's kind of like I'm at an OTB," he cracked.
It's no accident auds see broader national resonance in the sprawling family drama of "August."
"I had it in my mind to write about America now," he said. "I hope it has something to say about the state of our nation in the here and now."
And what's it saying, exactly?
"I can't fill in that blank for you."
* * *
The main post-Tony question for Mark Rylance, winner of the trophy for leading actor in a play, was: What was up with his baffling, funny acceptance speech?
"It's a prose poem by Lewis Jenkins, who's a wonderful poet from Duluth, Minn.," he said. "It seemed to have some kind of meaning."
* * *
"It's a huge part," Patti LuPone sai
d of the legendary stage-mother of "Gypsy," the role that won her the Tony for leading actress in a musical. "It encompasses everything: comedy, tragedy, singing, shouting, a range of emotions. If you lose the Tony for this, it's like you didn't do a good job. Isn't that terrible to say?"
A few years ago, it looked uncertain that LuPone would ever play Mama Rose on Broadway, due to rumored bad blood between her and helmer Arthur Laurents. It took a phone call to Laurents to clear the air.
"As my husband has said to me a couple of times tonight: 'Aren't you glad you called Arthur?'"
* * *
"Passing Strange" creator Stew, who nabbed the Tony for book, said the rock music he composed for the show is "music people actually listen to on subways, or when they're getting stoned."
Stew plays himself in the bio-tuner, but he said he definitely could see someone else in the role, for instance, Corey Glover from the rock band Living Colour.
He can also see "Passing Strange" as a movie. He said a pic version is in the works.
* * *
Brazilian opera singer Paulo Szot, making his Rialto debut as the romantic lead in "South Pacific," nabbed the kudo for leading actor in a tuner.
He'll stay with the show through November, when he'll return to his opera gigs. Sunday night, though, he needed to call his mom ASAP. It was her birthday.
"I need to give her this present," he said.
* * *
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the "In the Heights" creator and star who picked up the award for music and lyrics, had prepped a series of rhyming couplets for his acceptance-speech rap.
But it all left his head about halfway through the speech, around when he said the words "off the dome." "That's when it really started to unravel for me," he said. The rest was improv.
All the "Heights" wins, including the one for tuner, feel pretty darn good, Manuel said. "It's like the best prom ever, dude."

No, I want all the naysayers who negged me and such to have their crow and eat it too.
I took the crap for laying it down how it really was. You folks should stand up and recognize that IT WAS how it was. Eat the damn crow.
The importance you place upon vindication for its own sake is strange. Your demands for it are comical in light of the fact that you've no logical reason to deserve it: you don't know if the Red Wings would have beaten the Coyotes. If you hadn't noticed, they're doing pretty well.
That said, discussion forums are not the place for you if you find being disagreed with a difficult experience.

Microsoft announces its Windows 8 powered "Surface" tablet
0. phoneArena 18 Jun 2012, 19:46 posted on
Enter the Microsoft Surface! It's a 10.6-inch Windows 8 powered tablet that incorporates a wealth of functionality, design, and core platform experience to keep those hardened PC users satisfied in making the transition to fully commit to a tablet...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Nice touch by MS to name it Surface.... That word has a lil history behind it for MS....

now if it can do like surface was supposed to and get all the pix off your phone by getting close to it.. that would be a cool lil feature.

really like the keyboard
2. steven252000 (Posts: 64; Member since: 10 Feb 2010)
It better be something "Super Special" to be any different from all the other tablets out there. If it is anything like their windows phone I think Microsoft will be disappointed once again in the bottom line.
9. Roomaku (Posts: 278; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
Unfortunately you're probably right :(
17. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
It runs a full desktop OS, not a mobile-based one (ios, Android, webOS, etc) so that makes it unique in and of itself
30. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
It runs not on a FULL desktop OS. It will run on Windows RT a version for tablets.
31. alx33 (Posts: 32; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
The ARM version runs Windows RT which is a version of windows 8 specifically for ARM devices and only allows them to run apps from the windows app store, as well as the Microsoft office suite. There is also an intel based version which will run the full windows 8 desktop operating system.
34. CharlieAtInfinity (Posts: 253; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
Thats why I cant run my desktop programs on it :(... The price will decide if this tablet going to be success or not!! add $100 for the Windows OS to the hardware price lol
41. sgtdisturbed47 (Posts: 560; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
There are 2 versions, one that runs Windows RT, which is ARM, and one that ones Windows 8 Pro, which is x86, which as we all know, will run programs that you'd find running on your desktop. This was intentional in order to bridge the gap between the Tablet and the Desktop PC.
38. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
since it as far more functional then other Apple ipads and Androids since i can run and thing i would do on laptop it is far better then others since others offer on newspapaer/games/music/pics this will not be case here i can do what i would on laptop like running visual studio 2010 so its like having laptop with tablet
3. JcHnd (Posts: 97; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Looks good... it's time to see what it can do... and the price!
4. Santi_Santi (unregistered)
need to see the price of this one...
5. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
oh that's hot! i might pick one up later after Windows 8 RT sees more growth but for now i'm very happy with my Xyboard 8.2. c:
8. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
nvm there's a Pro Model too it seems. i'd take my Xyboard back for that if it only it would come out sooner. o.o

That looks awesome. I'd rather get the T-Pad Infinity though and get an Alienware desktop instead!

I wonder if we will see Windows Branded ultrabooks in the future?

Can hardly wait to see the hands on videos and full functionality of this. Great to be in the middle of the mobile wars, ain't it???
16. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Yea...sure is. I remember hearing about Surface when it as in development, I was heavy into MS back then. I still like them for desktop OS's tho.
MS doesnt get alot of credit for Surface and the technonogy they were using back then. As a matter of fact....many folks dont get credit for innovations, ideas now a days.
And I see the wiki info just got changed to PixelSense? Must be the new name for Surface.
14. pongkie (Posts: 539; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)

the biggest problem that microsoft tablet had is that it is super laggy lets not be the case this time because if this fails and i wish it doesn't cause the tablet market need more competition and options, in other case if this fails then microsoft is out of the tablet market. i really hope second time is the charm.

The only tablets Microsoft had in the past were running XP, Vista, or 7. None of those operating systems were made for touchscreens, and all of them required more resources than it takes to run Windows RT or probably even Windows 8 for that matter. I use a Windows Phone 7 device and am trying out the Windows 8 Release Preview on my computer -- both are running exceptionally well with no lag.

W8 was designed with tablets in mind so you can be sure it's not laggy. The only dark cloud hovering over it is pricing. Hope they're priced right.

Ivy Bridge Processor.. Ooh :O That's already shocking. This is probably the most powerful tablet. Gotta start saving, because it'll be $800. I'm sure.
28. TheElfymaster (Posts: 5; Member since: 26 May 2012)
Now this is what I call a "quality product" It's like Microsoft read my mind somehow and looked over what I wanted in a tablet, and it's awesome that the smart covers will include a neat keyboard. Literally no difference to any laptop.

This tablet doesn't look like it'll disappoint :D If this is a big hit, we can see apple and android finally having another competitor up their sleeves.
35. nagabiru003 (Posts: 11; Member since: 04 Jun 2012)
if this become a big hit, android will have a serious competitor, but i'm quite sure apple will try to get rid of it. apple may decide to sue m$. after all, patents for everything that's shaped rectangular with touch interface belongs to apple and they are allergic to competition.

Minus the fact that Microsoft Surface is a reference to Microsoft Surface (now PixelSense) which is this:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi

The pro one is not market to the android/iPad user, it is market to the Ultrabook because it is running a 22 nm i5. It also have the fun MS window on it. This for people who want to do real work, and not just browser the internet and play angry bird.

A Fostoria woman was found dead with a gunshot wound to her chest early this morning.
Detective Sgt. Kevin Reinbolt of the Seneca County Sheriff's Office said the husband of Brenda Lonsway, 63, called 911 at 3:59 a.m. to report finding his wife with a gunshot wound to her chest at their residence, 4581 N. US 23. Reinbolt said Lonsway, who was deceased upon law enforcement's arrival, was taken to the Lucas County Coroner's Office for an autopsy.
He said the shooting is now being ruled as suspicious because there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. "Suicide is definitely not being ruled out," he said.

Badgers in green and gold? Not lately
Green Bay — Madison is only 135 miles away. A quick drive to Oshkosh, a speed trap in Rosendale, a straight shot west down Route 151, boom, Ted Thompson is at the University of Wisconsin.
Players have seen the Green Bay Packers general manager along the sideline at practice often.
So as Sconnies lament every spring, what in the heck does Thompson have against the Badgers? The streak is mind-boggling. Through nine years and 87 picks as the Packers' boss, Thompson has drafted zero Badgers. He's taken players from Albany, Northwest Missouri State, Furman, Missouri Southern State, Grand Valley State and Appalachian State.
And never Wisconsin. Never from a Big Ten power one gas fill-up away. This week...once and for all...the trend will end.
Wisconsin nose tackle Beau Allen heard about the 0-fer. Over the phone, he asks if it's actually true.
"We've had a ton of talented Badgers in the NFL lately," said Allen, who had a pre-draft visit in Green Bay. "So it's kind of surprising. But, hey, he seems to be doing all right for his franchise."
True. The Packers have won, often, under Thompson. No arguing that. Still, it's a surreal drought.
Wisconsin isn't experiencing a Dark Ages of any sort. The exact opposite. The program has never been stronger. Since Thompson took over the Packers in 2005, the Badgers have gone 87-31 with three Rose Bowl appearances.
The school has produced a Super Bowl-champion quarterback (Russell Wilson), a defensive player of the year (J.J. Watt), several pass-catching tight ends (Owen Daniels, Garrett Graham, Lance Kendricks), a five-year starter at outside linebacker in the division (DeAndre Levy), one of the best left tackles in the game (Joe Thomas) and, of course, a constant supply of offensive linemen.
Year after year, the Packers pass. Could this be the year the tide turns? Maybe.
This senior class experienced it all. A crushing, title-thwarting Hail Mary loss to Michigan State. A win over No. 1-ranked Ohio State. Three Big Ten titles. This deep senior class had wild highs and heartbreaking lows.
"We've played some of the best teams in college football," Allen said. "We've been around success, and we've been around players that have had success as professionals. It's been a great culture of winning and going about our business the right way."
This group starts first with one of the greatest mysteries in this year's NFL draft — inside linebacker Chris Borland. The heart and soul of Wisconsin's defense had 420 tackles (50 for loss) and 17 sacks. He played in a 4-3 and a 3-4. He single-handedly stonewalled the No. 1 running back in the draft, Ohio State's Carlos Hyde, through a three-hour linebacker clinic.
And Borland also has 29¼-inch arms, is 5 foot 11 and is apparently off at least one team's draft board due to a surgically repaired left shoulder. Thompson hinted he's no fan of shorter inside linebackers (see: Smith, D.J.), and it's difficult seeing Green Bay — a team ravaged by injuries last season — taking any prospects with red flags.
Allen was the wide body who received candy from Borland for engulfing double-teams each Saturday. He sees a prospect with "way more" athleticism than outsiders think.
Said Allen, "Anybody in the NFL would be lucky to have him on their team."
Allen himself might be a late-round option. In college, the 333-pounder usually was responsible for the backside A- or B-gap. With the Packers, he explained, the nose takes on the front-side A-gap. Allen noticed B.J. Raji signed at one year and that Ryan Pickett and Johnny Jolly were not re-signed. He sees himself as a fit. The Packers need another wide body.
Slick wide receiver Jared Abbrederis is one of the draft's best route runners. Another mid-round wideout is needed with James Jones off to Oakland. Dezmen Southward is a 6-foot, 211-pounder with 4.38 speed and a 42-inch vertical — and Green Bay does like the hybrid cornerback/safety. Jacob Pedersen is the latest receiving tight end. Versatile James White is the latest running back.
In the corner of his eye, Allen did spot Thompson a few times last year.
"We saw him roaming around on the sidelines, taking notes," Allen said. "It's definitely not a far drive for him to come down to Madison and check things out."
And through Wisconsin's 0 for 87 hitless streak, Thompson has drafted four players from Iowa alone. As Allen notes — and maybe he is cultivating optimism — there is one Badger (Scott Tolzien) in the Packer locker room now.
"So I don't think he's prejudiced against Badger players or anything like that at all," he said.
Allen lists off the slew of names. This class, he says, has been through a lot. On Thursday, it's Thompson's move.
The GM already stuck it to critics who say he hibernates through free agency. His first Badger could be next.
"You never know," Allen said. "I think he's got a lot of good options to choose from."
Just don't hold your breath.

Party featuring frat boys in wifebeaters, thrown in brotherly comradery with southern country boys who represent all-american ideals of rugged individualism and brotherhood. Wifebeater parties are great opportunities to show off one's toned muscles, manly musk, and fully re-grown armpit hair (shaved at initiation), especially to the ladies and fraternity brothers.
I've never seen as many fratboy armpits as I did at last night sweet wifebeater party!

Americans can enjoy some of the lowest interest rates in four decades a bit longer. The Federal Reserve passed up a chance Tuesday to raise rates on loans but put the country on notice to expect increases sooner rather than later.
Amarillo observers say the Federal Reserve's move matched expectations, which point now to interest-rate increases during the last portion of this year.
Although the Fed left its target for the Fed funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, at 1.75 percent, it said goals for price stability and economic growth are now in balance. In previous sessions, the board was more concerned about boosting a flagging economy.
Those remarks, according to observers, indicate that interest rates will begin to rise once the Fed believes the economy is growing again. Increasing interest rates can serve as a brake on inflation.
David Hemphill, president of First American Bank in Amarillo, said the Fed's actions are a sign the economy is recovering from the damage done during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
"What they are saying now is that the business world has reacted to what happened and the economy has been stabilized and can move forward, which in the long run will be good for all of us," Hemphill said.
Lower interest rates, a boon for borrowers, have cut into the interest income of savers.
Hemphill said those with savings accounts and certificates of deposit as part of their financial plans should see rising interest rates, too.
First American Bank advised CD holders to stick with short-term certificates after plunging returns on those accounts cut interest payments by as much as three-fourths, Hemphill said.
Saving account interest rates are likely to rebound slowly, he said.
Rates are unlikely to rise as rapidly as they came down during 2001, Hemphill said.
Bill Davies, president of Bank One in Amarillo, said that bank's economists expected the Fed to indicate that rates will begin rising later this year.
Bank economists have noted rising industrial production for two straight months and consumer spending continues to rise, Davies said.
"One of the things that has been odd - consumer spending has been strong throughout this," Davies said.
As the economy continues to improve, consumer spending is likely to remain strong, he said.
Another major difference between this recovery and previous recoveries is that unemployment remained at comparatively low levels as the economy worsened, he said.
The Federal Reserve now should concentrate on returning interest rates to normal levels, Davies said. The last time interest rates were as low as they are now was in November 1965.
Long-term rates, which move with demand in the lending market, already have been rising over the past six months, he said.
Such increases, though, are unlikely to cut short the recovery, Hemphill said. Instead, interest rates for loans are balanced by increases in wages that come with an improving economy.
"If more people are employed and are earning higher wages, that will offset the small increase in interest rates over time," Hemphill said. "If you're not working then it doesn't matter what the interest rates are."
Becky Dodson, vice president of the Autoplex, said she did not think a slight rise in interest rates would affect new-car sales, which rode a crest of manufacturers incentives last fall to keep new-car sales high.
Used-car shoppers, though, may feel the effect of rising interest rates, she said. Lenders typically charge higher rates to balance the risk of financing an older car.

Since the very beginning of time itself, one question has constantly plagued the wives of the outdoor loving breed..
How can a trail craving, earth chasing wife succeed at her domestic duties while remaining true to her wild woman ways?
One may never truly know. Yet one can speculate, theorize, and ultimately form a somewhat decent hypothesis on this trying matter.


text:
• We developed a murine monoclonal antibody (5B10 MAb) that reacted in vitro specifically to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from Escherichia coli 0111:B4. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titers to a variety of gram-negative bacterial whole cell and LPS antigens demonstrated that this antibody may react with the O antigen portion of 0111:B4 LPS. We then examined the ability of this antibody to protect mice in vivo against a challenge of either viable bacteria or purified LPS. One milligram of 5B10 MAb was administered intraperitoneally (IP) and protected against a lethal challenge of either viable E coli 0111:B4 or 0111:B4 LPS, but no other type of bacterial or LPS challenge. Protection occurred in an antibody dose-dependent manner, and as little as 0.01 mg of 5B10 MAb enhanced survival. We concluded that IP pretreatment with a single MAb would protect against lethal sepsis or endotoxemia in this animal model and that anti-LPS specificity was a sufficient condition for an antibody to protect during bacteremia, confirming the importance of LPS in the pathogenesis of gram-negative bacterial sepsis.
