October 2007
Liverpool, England, August 17, 1926London, England, July 5, 2007.
The Oscar Wilde of jazz? George Melly, an eccentric Englishman of many careers whose singing style invoked his idol, the blues singer Bessie Smith, died in London after a stretch of emphysema and dementia. He was 80.
Melly was an exponent of the British brand of "trad jazz, a blend of Dixieland, music hall styles and blues. Clad in African robes and sitting in a wheelchair, he gave his last concert a week before his death, and finished his last album the day before he died, on July 5.
"As a surrealist, I quite enjoy having dementia, he quipped in a June interview with Time Out, London. He gave up music in 1962 to become a full-time writer, publishing, among other books, no fewer than three autobiographies. The first, Owning Up (1965) was hailed in July by the British jazz critic Steve Voce as "the most hilarious book ever written about jazz. The writing style is so good and the anecdotes so pungent that it has dated not at all.
Returning to music in 1974, Melly started performing in garish getups with a trad band called John Chilton's Feetwarmers. They played at theaters, colleges and pubs in Great Britain; their Christmas shows at Ronnie Scott's, a London jazz club, grew into a tradition. The group was featured at the 1978 Waterloo Picnic. This New Jersey offshoot of the JVC Jazz Festival evolved into Jersey JazzFest in 1995.
In a 2001 interview with the Scotland on Sunday newspaper, Melly addressed the subject of aging. "Billie Holiday sang what I feel in one verse, he said. "I ain't got no future, but Lord, Lord, what a past.
Johnny Frigo, 90, jazz violinist, bassist, lyricist and wit.
Chicago, IL, December 27, 1916July 4, 2007.
Johnny Frigo, a superb violinist and bassist staple of the Chicago jazz scene, whose earliest recordings with Jimmy Dorsey were made from live broadcasts at Frank Dailey's Terrace Room in Newark, died July 4 in Chicago. He was 90. Both cancer and complications from a fall were cited as causes.
Frigo's legacy of some 81 recording sessions is catalogued in Lord's Jazz Discography CD-ROM 7.0. After playing with the Coast Guard band at Ellis Island during World War II, he toured as a sideman with Jimmy Dorsey. Broadcast recordings in April 1946 from the Terrace Room, with Frigo switching between bass and violin, were released on Navy V-Discs.
Frigo and two fellow musicians in the Navy band, the pianist Lou Carter and the guitarist Herb Ellis, formed the Soft Winds Trio. They are credited for writing in 1972 what became the standard tunes, "Detour Ahead and "I Told You I Love You, Now Get Out. Frigo later confided that he alone had written both the lyrics and music. "Detour Ahead was recorded by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Irene Kral, Stan Getz and Woody Herman, among others.
He was described by Jim Brown, a recording engineer friend, as "a man of great creative depth and wit. He wrote poetry, from the sublime to the whimsical. He painted, he made what might be called modern sculpture or installation artsome of it was in every recording studio in Chicago, and it was wonderful.
Never a stranger to the Garden State, Frigo played in Edison at a jazz party hosted in 2004 by New Jersey Jazz Society director Frank Nissel. He also made recordings with Jersey favorites such as Bucky and John (Jr.) Pizzarelli, Howard Alden and Bill Charlap. Statesmen of Jazz, with Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar, Earl May on bass and Louie Bellson, drums, was released in 2004 (SOJCD202).
He was a good friend of the Montclair jazz historian Robert Gold (A Jazz Lexicon, Knopf, 1964, and Jazz Talk, Bobbs Merrill, 1975), who told me that Frigo "goes down in my book as one of the five all-time top fiddlersalong with Stephane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith and Svend Asmussen.
Vincent Giantomasi, 60, businessman, spare-time drummer, photographer, actor.
Newark, NJ, March 14, 1947Parsippany, NJ, June 21, 2007.
Vincent Giantomasi, a spare-time drummer, writer, photographer and actor who played at Cecil's Jazz Club in West Orange and occasionally at other venues, died at home in Parsippany following a long illness. He was 60.
A native of Newark, Giantomasi served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He earned a bachelor of business degree from William Paterson University in Wayne. For the last two decades he owned and managed Giant Productions, an audiovisual service in Parsippany.
Giantomasi acted the role of 'Wiseguy' in Witness to the Mob, a two-part miniseries about Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano of the Gambino crime family.
"Over the past four years, Vince warmed the hearts of thousands of Cecil's patrons with his quick, witty perspective on jazz and life in general, Adreena and Cecil Brooks III said in a statement that called attention to Giantomasi's photographs of performers on the club's walls. He was an enthusiastic supporter of New Jersey Jazz Society; donations to his memory were welcomed by the society's president, Andrea Tyson, 110 Maywood Avenue, Piscataway, NJ 08854.
Bill Barber, 87, modern jazz tubaist and teacher.
Hornell, NY, May 21, 1920Bronxville, NY, June 18, 2007.
The first musician to play modern jazz on the tuba, John William Barber was an alumnus of the pianist Claude Thornhill's forward-looking big band. He went on to tour and/or record with Miles Davis/Gil Evans, George Shearing, John Coltrane, Stan Getz and other modernists.
He died at 87, apparently of heart failure, June 18 in Bronxville, NY.
Like his fellow-tubaist, the late Don Butterfield, Bill Barber was a classically trained pioneer of the deep-toned, bulky horn in the modern jazz genre. Both players took their bachelor's in music at the Juilliard School; Barber later went for a master's in music education at the Manhattan School of Music.
After service in the 7th Army band, he joined the Kansas City Philharmonic. He moved to New York and worked for Thornhill in 1947-1948. With the Miles Davis Nonet for the next two years, he took part in a historic series of recordings led by the trumpeter. Birth of the Cool on LP helped usher in the period of cool jazz.
Barber moved to the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra in 1952-1954, when Pete Rugolo then hired him. His association with Davis and Evans was resumed in 1957-1962 when the two combined talents for the acclaimed big-band albums Miles Ahead, Sketches of Spain, and Porgy and Bess. He also worked in 1959 with George Shearing.
Freelance assignments in Broadway shows, on TV and for the City Center Ballet helped keep the tubaist busy, but to make ends meet he earned a master's degree and taught high school music classes from 1960 on Long Island. In 1992 he toured with Gerry Mulligan. The veteran of 90 recording sessions recorded for the last time, with Mulligan, on the album Re-birth of the Cool.
Nellie Lutcher, 94, rhythm and blues singer, pianist.
Lake Charles, LA, October 15, 1915Los Angeles, CA, June 8, 2007.
Sixty years ago, the jazz critic Leonard Feather pictured Nellie Lutcher ("Hurry on down to my house, honey / Ain't nobody home but me ) as "not pretty, or even handsome, but ... a tall, big, somehow striking person (able) to change moods and express a wide range of ideas, both musical and humorous.
Lutcher, a singer and pianist, enjoyed a spate of rhythm-and-blues hits from 1947 until 1952. Four hits on the Capitol label reached the Billboard R&B Top 10, including "He's a Real Gone Guy, "My Mother's Eyes and "Fine Brown Frame. She sang a duet with Nat 'King' Cole, "Can I Come In For A Second?
Lutcher went on performing until nearly age 80, and inspired Nina Simone and other singers. At 94 and in failing health, with pneumonia, she died June 8, in Los Angeles. "She was a fighter to the end, her nephew and manager, Gene Jackson, said. "She had told the family, I'm going to go when I'm ready to go.
Her accepted date of birth in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is October 15, 1915, into a family that eventually numbered 15 children. (Spencer Leigh, of The Independent London newspaper, wrote that she actually was born in 1912, but that Capitol changed the year to 1917 to make her seem younger.) At 11, she played piano for the renowned blues singer Ma Rainey.
The Calcasieu Museum in Lake Charles had already begun a series of events saluting Lutcher's life in music. She once penned "Lake Charles Boogie, a novelty tune about her hometown: "This little ditty / is a song about the city / where I was born.
Dave Remington, 80, pianist, trombonist, bandleader, educator.
Rochester, NY, October 10, 1926Traverse, MI, June 8, 2007.
Musicians across the country telephoned a Michigan hospice to pay respects to Dave Remington, their teacher, whose career spanned a half-century as a freelance pianist, trombonist, bandleader and educator. A member of New Jersey Jazz Society who lived in Beulah, MI, he died June 8 of prostate cancer complications.
He was 80 and worked into May, playing "his usual Mother's Day weekend bandleader job at a Wisconsin resort, a 400-mile drive each way, said his wife, Karen. She is a freelance vocalist who graduated from the Eastman School of Music in 1981, the year her future husband took his M.A. in jazz studies.
Remington worked mainly in Illinois, New York and Wisconsin, never gaining national fame. But his legacy includes 17 recording sessions with releases mostly on smaller labels, and in Chicago-style traditional jazz groups. He recorded with groups that included, at times, the pianist Art Hodes, guitarist Marty Grosz, violinist Johnny Frigo (see obituary above) and clarinetists Bill Reinhardt and Chuck Hedges.
Live at Bourbon Street, recorded at the Chicago club in 1965 and released on Decca, had the trombonist leading the Dukes of Dixieland, with Frank Assunto on trumpet and vocals and his brother, Jac Assunto, on banjo; Jerry Fuller on clarinet; Red Brown on bass, and Barrett Deems on drums.
Born October 10, 1926, in Rochester, NY, David Wilbur Remington was the second son of Emory Remington, professor of trombone and chairman of the brass department at the Eastman School, and his wife Laura, an organist. His older sister, Janet, was principal harpist with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
Enrolled in 1947 at St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY, Remington and a bass-playing fellow student, Fradley Garner, formed The Laurentians, the largest dance- and Kenton-style concert band in the university's history. His older brother, Emory Jr., played drums.
Later, Dave Remington led groups in top Chicago clubs like Jazz Ltd., Pump Room, Wise Fools, and at venues in Wisconsin. He fronted his band at both inaugural balls for President Richard Nixon, in 1969 and 1973.
After heading the Rockford (Illinois) College music department in 1970-1974, he moved to New York, joining the trombone section of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band and working as a sideman for Lou Rawls and Paul Anka. He also played in pit orchestras for the Broadway musicals Annie and A Chorus Line.
He moved to Beulah, MI, and taught jazz piano and improvisation from 1999 to 2006 at Interlochen Arts Academy. Bill Cunliffe, a pianist in Los Angeles, credited Remington with sparking his jazz career. Cunliffe had taken a master's in music theory when Remington heard him playing in a practice room and talked him into switching to jazz studies. Another Interlochen student, Jesse Elder, a musician in his early twenties working six nights a week in New York, said: "I would not be here today except for Mr Remington. In a three-hour gig, 80 per cent of it is music I learned from him.
Buddy Childers, 81, trumpeter and composer.
Belleville, IL, February 12, 1926Woodland Hills, CA, May 24, 2007.
Buddy Childers, hailed as "one of the greatest lead trumpet players in the history of big bands by a member of the Stan Kenton Alumni Band, died May 12 of cancer complications in Woodland Hills, California. He was 81.
Childers was only 16 when Kenton auditioned him for the lead trumpet chair, in 1942. "I played about eight or nine things in a row and the adrenalin was really flying, Childers told the British critic, Steve Voce.
"I had this thing in my mind that I had to join a name band at 16 or I'd never be able to make it as a musician. I was thinking of Harry James, so young with Ben Pollack and then with Benny Goodman, and Corky Corcoran who joined Sonny Dunham when he was 16 and then became Harry James's leading soloist the next year. So I made it by three weeks.
Childers said he dropped out of high school a couple of months before graduation to go on the road. He remained mainly a big band trumpeter for the rest of a career that included stints with Benny Carter, Les Brown, Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey, Georgie Auld, Charlie Barnet, Frank Sinatra, and the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Orchestra.
In 1993 he left Sinatra to form his own big band, continuing to perform into this century. He finished his last, still-to-be-released CD, Haunted Ballroom, in 2005. While gradually cutting back on his own playing, Childers became an even more avid listener. "To play a good solo is a joy, he told the Los Angeles Times in 1995, "but to hear one of my own arrangements played as well as these guys play is an indescribable thrill.

There's nothing quite like an intramural catfight. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd had some of her finest moments when she took on President Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinsky. She was so clearly a partisan for his side -- and yet so appalled and amused by the continual misbehavior that had taken place in the White House -- that she rose to the occasion and penned some of her wittiest work. These days, as she repeatedly attacks President Bush, she's run out of steam and falls back on name-calling. She ends up just being shrill.
Infighting like this is just as much fun on the other side of the political spectrum. A case in point was columnist Florence King's dismemberment of the often dyspeptic Ann Coulter, who's made her name by ineptly dissecting members of the liberal class for breakfast. King's piece, titled "Watch Ann Go Whoosh!," can be found at National Review Online.
King set herself the task of analyzing Coulter's prose style, not her ideas. "Wondering what life in America would be like if Coulter used a stiletto instead of a sledgehammer is a tempting but futile excursion into dreamland. Suppose, for example, she was confronted, like Jennie Churchill, with a pompous young man who boasted that his fiance's virtue was 'priced above rubies.' Without missing a beat, Jennie said, 'Try diamonds.' But if the young man said the same thing to Coulter?
" 'The godless liberals are trying to link Pat Robertson to Charles Taylor's diamond smuggling cartel in Liberia while they cry crocodile tears over the poor starving Africans they're helping to starve by conniving with radical ANC goons trained by Winnie Mandela who controls every mine in South Africa, all because they hate Robertson's Christian beliefs so much they'll be cheering and dancing in the streets if Taylor and the God-hating Marxists succeed in smearing him!"
King then compared Coulter's inelegance to the wit of Dorothy Parker, and the former came off ineptly indeed, no matter what the subject was in the examples -- politics or sex.
King agreed that not everyone can be witty and original, but she had to wonder why Coulter chose to call Katie Couric "the affable Eva Braun of morning TV." Why not a Teutonic queen like Brunhilde, as in the woman who runs the show?
King's explanation is a classic: Since Coulter knows her audience well, she understood that where she might know who Brunhilde is, chances are the average American did not. "[S]o she probably decided to use Eva Braun whether it made sense or not because everybody knows who she was from seeing all those war movies. And even if they don't, she needed the name of some bad person, and 'Eva Braun' sounds like a big, mean Nazi dyke, so -- hey -- it's good enough."
King has been known to be vicious herself when she sets her mind to it, but here she lets Coulter hang herself via quotations. There's more to this delicious piece, and it shouldn't be missed by those with a fondness for the effortless hatchet job.

I ordered a product from a different site on a Sunday was not informed until also 1pm on Monday that the product was sold out. So I had to search for an old product which led me to Evo. I ordered my bindings around 3pm on Monday and within the hour I had confirmation that it shipped and would arrive at my home sometime Wednesday. Works great for me because I'm leaving Wednesday to use these bindings. Just so happens I got home Tuesday morning at 10am and they were waiting for me. The stress has been lifted and I can't wait to make another purchase from Evo. Thanks for saving the day so I don't have to enter my competition with old bindings.
Evo has great products and great prices! my big issue is I purchased an item online and it took over day and a half for my order to be processed. Companies such as Tactics.com are on it quick!! Way quicker!!!!
I ordered the wrong bindings accidentally, after shipping the wrong pair out they immediately shipped me the correct pair free without charge, and even upgraded the shipping. The two representatives I spoke with were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Their "average" response time is said to be roughly 24 hours, but in the three times I've had questions to be answered, it took roughly 72 hrs each time.
I was not even given an answer to my initial question, and the customer support avoided the question altogether, which regarded in price matching.
I would suggest to steer clear and f their website and all their online sales, and work with the sales reps at the actual store location.
I called up after I found a coupon code. No questions asked they applied the code to the existing order I'd placed a few hours earlier (an already crazy sweet deal) and gave me another chance for an instore (Portland - where I'm at) coupon.
I bought on clearance K2 snowboard boots for $100. After 5 uses, a part that holds the boa wires came apart, the stitching ripped. There was suppose to be a year warranty. Evo would not honor it, saying it was from a snowboard laying on the boot going up a chair lift. They determined this through a picture I sent. There never was a snowboard laying on the boot. These boots looked brand new except for the stitching that came apart. I will never buy from them again. I feel the boot was defective. Poor customer service, and poor quality.
Easy navigation of website prompt response overall great site and discrete. Would recommend to others Anabolshop.org. excellent prices quick shipping.
Honestly one of the best customer service experiences with an online store I have ever had. I ordered a snowboard, bindings, and boots from them. After initial use I found the rear binding mounting hardware kept coming loose (a fault of the manufacturer, not of evo) and when I called evo they immediately, no questions asked, told me they would contact the manufacturer and would then let me know when the new hardware would be shipping to me.
I also had an issue with a missing part on the boot (again a manufacturer error). Evo not only contacted the maker to get me the part (of which I received 3 more than I needed) but also agreed to a discount for the delay in my ability to use the product.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and eager to work for you. Bravo.
Bought Nordica El Capos and Marker Duke Bindings on Evo. Best price out there. They provided a lot of helpful information about the equipment I was buying as well as helpful reviews from other people. They shipped them out right away. I ended up getting them a day earlier than anticipated and they kept me posted throughout. Would buy from Evo again in a heartbeat.
I think evo.com is probably the best online place to buy skis along with Backcountry.com. The people that answer the phones know what they are talking about and are interested in making sure you buy the right product. The folks in their physical store in Seattle are super friendly and helpful. All the people that I've been in contact at Evo have a "no-worries" attitude. I like that especially for buying stuff that should be all fun.
For price-shoppers, the Evo Outlet which is also at www.evo.com has some fantastic pre and early season deals.
Tried to use their price matching. At first, they denied the price match by saying the correct size didn't appear on the site. Then, I gave them the contact manager at the online retailer, and Evo said it wouldn't honor the match because it might be a knock-off or secondhand. These guys are flakes.
I love the fact that you can check the stock on every product they carry. The only downside is that the stuff I want isn't on sale :) haha! Their prices are consistent with most other companies and their shipping is super fast.
I purchased a bag from evo recently. The bag arrive timely and the product was as described. The only con is that it reeks of cigarette smoke. It seems strange to get a new bag that smells like a smoker has been using it. I am not sure if they are simply passing off a used bag for new to scam me or allow employees to smoke on, with, and around new product. Either way I would recommend buying from someplace else. On a side note I have tried to review the product on their site but they do not post my review. Seems suspicious that they will post the new positive reviews but refuse to post a negative.
Their price match policy is legit and straightforward. I found a coat I wanted on REI.com that was already on sale and even less expensive with a discount code. They matched the discount code price and gave me an additional 5% off with free shipping.
The customer service reps are quirky and courteous. Needless to say - I'll definitely be back.
Great phones. Didn't know much about the company until I purchased an EVO!
I got an awesome dress with fast shipping from this website. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing but my shipment was delayed because they wanted me to call and confirm that I had ordered the dress with my credit card. I think it's because I wanted the dress delivered to an address other than my billing address. Never had to do that before and not quite sure how I feel about that!
Evo.com has provided me with a ton of my snow sports gear. They have great deals on great gear. Last season I bought a great snowboard/bindings/boots/bag package for an excellent price. They have an outlet that has cheap stuff from which i just bought new pants for boarding this season. The shipping rates are reasonable too. I highly recommend the site.

Cell Phone Car Crashes Under-reported
WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Safety Council says that fatal car crashes where drivers are on the phone are seriously underreported. The council says even when drivers admitted to authorities that they were using a phone during an accident in which someone was killed, about half the cases weren't recorded that way.

Measuring the stud that I needed a nut for, I discovered that the stud was .207" and had 28 TPI. A number 10 bolt measures .190" and a ...Read More »

A member of the Barrio Azteca gang who's serving as a U.S. government witness testified this week that his border-based gang received training from Mexico's notorious Zetas drug cartel on how to become top-notch killing machines.
Testifying at the trial of Azteca leader Arturo Gallegos Castrellón, gang member Jesus Ernesto "Camello" Chávez Castillo said that Barrio Azteca, a ruthless gang based in El Paso and across the border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, sent two teams to the city of Torreón to train with the Zetas, where among other methods they were taught to kill people traveling inside moving cars.
Formed in the jails of El Paso, Texas in 1986, Barrio Azteca has become one of the largest crime groups in the United States, with a purported 3,000 members in the U.S. in locations such as New Mexico, Texas, Mass., and Penn., and at least 5,000 members in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
The gang, which has many members that hold dual citizenship allowing for quick border crossings, is believed to be behind that assassination of two U.S. consulate employees and a Mexican national in Ciudad Juárez in March of 2010.
Chávez testified at the Gallegos trial, where the purported Barrio Azteca leader is charged with being involved in the slayings of the consulate employees.
Arthur Redelfs, his wife Lesley and Jorge Salcido were traveling in white SUVs in Ciudad Juárez in 2010 when Barrio Azteca member targeted their cars, according to prosecutors. Lesley Enriquez Redelfs worked at the U.S. Consulate and Salcido was married to another consulate worker.
During his testimony, Chávez said that Barrio Azteca members suspected that U.S. consulate employees were helping the rival Sinaloa drug cartel get visas so they could sell drugs in neighboring El Paso for cheaper prices. Gallegos also allegedly ordered all Barrio Azteca members to be on the lookout for a white Honda Pilot SUV they had been tracking, after confirming it was used by U.S. consulate workers.
Chávez added that he controlled a group of hit squads that were responsible for killing more than 2,000 people in Juárez in a war between the Carrillo Fuentes organization (aligned with Barrio Azteca) and Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's Sinaloa Cartel.
The admitted hitman also said that he was responsible for killing 800 people in Juárez between January and August of 2009, but that he stopped counting after that. He added that Barrio Azteca hit squads were given a quota of at least eight people per day in Ciudad Juárez.
The trial continues this week in El Paso federal court.

The chase begins with a 'sudden start', meaning everyone begins at the same starting point. The base speed of the chase is 30 feet. There are 10 obstacles during the chase.
Remember these salient points (from pf ref doc) --
1. Using the base assumption of 30-foot 'cards', it takes a move action to move through a single card. When a character exits from a card, he must choose one of that card's two obstacles to face as a standard action before moving to the next rectangle. Success means the character moves to the next , while failure means the character must face the obstacle again on the next round.
2. Instead of exiting a card, a character can choose to take another action not directly related to navigating the chase's course, such as casting a spell or drawing a weapon. If the action is a full-round action, he can't move at all. Use the number of cards and their established distances to determine ranges. A character can only choose to make melee attacks against targets that are on the same card.
3. A character who wants to attempt to move 3 cards during his turn can do so by taking a full-round action. That character must overcome both obstacles on the card he is leaving. In this case, if a character fails either obstacle check by 5 or less, he only moves one card forward and his turn ends. If a character fails either obstacle check by more than 5, he cannot move at all that turn. (A character who is mired must spend another full-round action becoming unmired and effectively loses his next turn in the chase.)
The door at the far end of the Reaper's wing is 30 feet away. It is jammed shut. The zombies that got past the wall start to swarm around you. (Since the race is a 'sudden start', you and the zombies are all near each other in the same area.)
Obstacle #1:
Option 1 - Make an Acrobatics check of 20 or more to vault over the zombie hospital patients. (If you make this check, it will be assumed you safely wait near the door until it is opened and can pass through it);
Option 2 - Make a Fortitude save of 15 or more to bash open the stuck door with your shoulder. The first person to make this check has the option of forfeiting their next turn to hold the door open for other players, allowing them to bypass this first obstacle completely.
In the alternative, you can attempt both checks, or, of course, you can just choose to attack a zombie.
|Dr. Hareton Grey
*Revised* Turn order
2. Sandru
3. La Siréene
4. Mechanical Manservant *
5. 5 zombies (I will post their moves together)
6. Darious
7. Blackacre
8. Ianez
9. Caromarc
* @Caromarc - I'm thinking the mechanical servant might have trouble making the skill checks in this chase. Therefore, as a default, we will assume he is moving with you. Successful skill checks for you can apply to him also. As default, post for your servant and PC together on Caromarc's turn (you can describe them taking separate actions, but post all of them on Caromarc's turn.) If you would like the servant to take any separate actions that are significant to gameplay, you can either post for the servant in his actual turn order after La Siréene, or we can describe and resolve them in as retroactively occurring fourth in the order of initiative, as necessary.
|Merperson, Shape of Nameless
The nurse has fallen. A shame. She might have been useful for the purpose of information. However, My intuition was right- it was a good choice to trust the creature, Sandru.
"Please, do not be alarmed." As La Siréene speaks, Nameless shifts from the form of La Siréene to the manifestation of nameless that is the dark merfolk, then swims through the air past the open door, carrying with her Hareton, whom she never released the grip upon. In her inhuman, guttural tones, she exclaims; "Doctor. Your mission is not to terminate the unliving. It is to save the alive. "
Extended Sky Swim has 12 minutes duration and we have barely done anything but speak, so I assume it is in effect. If you insist it is not, she instead casts Longstrider once past the door. Standard Action: Alter Self as Supernatural ability, no AOO. Move Action: going past the open door, treating Hareton as baggage. If he fights back and forces a Grapple check, she'll release her grip.
Zombies 2 and 4 pursue La Siréene and Hareton through the door in a loping frenzy. Zombie 5 starts to follow, but pulls up short, too distracted by the scent of fresh brains of the living who are still in the room.
Zombie 1 attacks Darious. It bites him and confirms a critical hit. It also lands a successful slam attack.
@ Darious - take 13 pts of damage. Roll a Fortitude save.
Zombie 3 attacks Blackacre. It bites him.
@ Blackacre - take 5 pts of damage. Roll a Fortitude save.
|Earl J V Caromarc
Darious throws himself through the open door Sandru is holding.
Fortitude save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26. He is resilient and shakes off the contagion of the zombie bite.
It is Blackacre's turn.
Because Sandru is holding open the door, the PCs remaining in the room all can use a move action to exit through the door, and they still get a standard action. The test is automatically passed.
|Gaston Blackacre
fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Blackacre takes a two-handed swing at the zombie that attacked him (standard action), then spins and races for the open door move action.
attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
|Ianez Gastnicht
Round 1:
Shaking himself from his too-brief mourning for his family, Ianez calls upon the luck that's seen him through so many tight spots before and tries to vault over the zombies between him and the door so helpfully held by Sandru. Unfortunately, he slips on the takeoff, and will have to deal with the sundry zombie AoOs coming his way. (Current AC 18; he doesn't have his shield out.)
DC 20 Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Also, Darious--twin rapiers? You do know that by RAW you're taking an extra -2 to hit with both of them for not wielding a light weapon in your off hand, right? Shortswords or kukris are better choices; shortsword has 1 less point of crit range than a rapier and kukri does 1d4 vs. rapier's 1d6, but -2 to hit more than makes up for those differences.
|Earl J V Caromarc
[edit: forgot had cast shield]
Caromarc moves through the door, incanting as he goes.
cast Ear-piercing scream 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) = 8 Fort save DC 17
|Mechanical Manservant
This Manservant steps through the door, but not before elegantly stabbing a zombie that attacked Sandru with a sharpened component.
Attack Zombie with Dagger. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Move action through door.
"Do hurry, Sir."
One of the Manservant's eye-lights flickered in what almost look liked a wink, but was probably a malfunction.
As Ianez stumbles on his way out the door, one of the zombies notices the last tasty morsels are escaping from the building, and swipes a claw at him. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18. Ianez takes 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage.
The party escapes the roomful of zombies. They emerge into a dark alley behind the hospital. The eaves and overhangs of the buildings high overhead provide shelter from the pouring rain. But even here there is a miserable drizzle; the alley is drenched and full of puddles. The sound of their flight is a lonely splashing mixed with the slavering grunts of their pursuers.
The others see the Merperson up ahead carrying Hareton. Two undead bear down on them. Up ahead, there is a large drainage pipe.
Obstacle #2:
Option 1 - Make a Climb check of 20 or more to climb up the drainage pipe to the roof;
Option 2 - Make a Perception check of 25 or more to notice a small black wrought-iron basket attached to pulleys, used as a fire escape. If you make this check, you may ascend in the basket.
In the alternative, you can attempt both checks, or you can just choose to attack a zombie.
|Ianez Gastnicht
Ianez drops his Archaeologist's Luck, but thanks to the Lingering Performance feat its effects persist for another two rounds*. The sky is doing my mourning for me. Good thing; if I don't stay sharp I'll die fast. He easily shinnies up the rain-slicked pipe to the roof.
Perception check to notice basket: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 2 = 18
The dice module hates me. Climb check: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
*No lie, that's the way it works. Kind of makes Lingering Performance a feat tax for archaeologist bards, but there it is.
Ianez notices the fire escape basket and will use it to get to the roof (in turn order, meaning he doesn't leave the alley until after the zombies, Blackacre, etc. get their turns.)
@Ianez - because you attempted both checks, and didn't make one by less than 5, you will move forward one card this round.
|Dr. Hareton Grey
Same Zombie 1 as C3PO, I mean the Mechanical Manservant, if I can. otherwise, closest.
Growling, I try to stop one of the monsters.
Attack Zombie 1 (or closest), 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 15, 2-Handed.
Damage Zombie 1 (or closest), 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8, 2-Handed.
|Ianez Gastnicht
|Darious, The Second
*attacks a zombie with his rapiers with defensive fighting*
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13
|Darious, The Second
|Merperson, Shape of Nameless
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25Perception check to see where Hareton went off to.
Of the ground, onto the roof, then? Very well. Seems the Doctor has decided to live, in the end. Fortunate. Who else requires my help getting unto the roof the most? Ah- Caromarc. Well, he is an interesting individual. Worth keeping around.
Having noted that Hareton seems to have found himself a way onto the roof, the manifestation of Nameless reaches out and cast her spell on Caromarc. Spider Climb. Get up on the roof, Caromarc. With these deep, inhuman words, she slithers through the air up to the rooftops.
Spider Climb, No checks necessary to traverse vertical or horizontal surfaces.
|Ianez Gastnicht
After Hareton and La Siréene, it is the zombies' turn.
Zombie 2 drags itself up the drain pipe, beady red eyes hunting after La Siréene. Its arms are taut, sinewy. It scales the pipe like a rabid orangutan. The scrape of its claws the stuff of nightmares...
Zombie 3 sees that one lags behind. The half-orc destroyed one of its kind, but that only strengthens the gnaw of the hunger - the half-orc is left alone in the room...it has its victim all to itself. It lunges at Sandru and bites his arm. Sandru takes 8 damage.
@Sandru - roll a Fortitude save.
Zombie 4 attacks Darious. It tries to bite him, but is too slow for the elf's graceful reflexes. Enraged, it makes two quick slam attacks and tries to grab him. Darious ducks and evades the grab, but one slam hits. Darious takes 4 damage.
Zombie 5 lopes on all fours out of the hospital, through the alley, and up the drain pipe onto the roof.
Darious comes back at Zombie 4 with a riposte. He (impressively) slices his blades in an 'X' and decapitates the head off the zombie. It explodes in a burst of rotten goo.
@Darious - roll two Fortitude saves.
It is Blackacre's turn.
|Gaston Blackacre
Blackacre mutters to himself, flicks his fingers, lengthens his stride, and begins to take off down the alley at exceptional speed.
Standard action to cast expeditious retreat (+30' speed, so +6 to chase checks for the next six minutes). Unless I am mistaken, that means no pipe climbing or fire escape.
|Mechanical Manservant
|Earl J V Caromarc
Nodding thanks to ... the fish thing ... Caromarc starts to move, then realises that for whatever reason he is temporarily safe from Zombies.
Caromarc closes his eyes.
Yes. The void is close here. The barrier whisper-thin.
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a stub of candle, lights it and starts chanting.
"Servant of the Light. Assist us!"
Summon Monster III: Lantern Archon. 1 round casting time. Extended with rod (15 rounds duration?)

Prudential Georgia Realty Named One Of America's Top Performing Brokerage Firms
REAL Trends Releases Brokerage Performance Study
ATLANTA (2/15/2013) Prudential Georgia Realty was recently recognized by REAL Trends, Inc. as one of only 17 firms in America to achieve growth in all key areas of brokerage operational performance. REAL Trends is the leading trends and research firm in the residential brokerage industry in North America and annually publishes rankings of the leading brokerage firms and sales professionals.
In a ten year study of the largest 500 residential brokerage firms in the country, REAL Trends found that only 17 had grown the Number of their Sales Professionals, increase Closed Transactions and increased Per Person Productivity from 2002 to 2011. Prudential Georgia Realty was one of these few firms to have received this recognition from REAL Trends.
Steve Murray, editor of REAL Trends, said "when you consider that housing sales volumes fell over 50% throughout the country over this time, to have even 17 firms accomplish growth in all three key areas of brokerage performance, is an amazing accomplishment. What we found is that these leaders have an absolute commitment to the people of their companies and have proven to be able to adapt to the most adverse environment that we have seen in recent times. Not only did these firms perform well, but in all three categories they outperformed their peer companies by as much as 100 percent over the ten year period."
Dan Forsman, President & CEO of Prudential Georgia Realty said "We are honored by this acknowledgement of our success over the past ten years. Our leadership team and sales professionals faced one of the most difficult real estate markets in the nation during the great recession. We saw this as both a challenge and an opportunity. Our team worked very closely with our agents to help them weather the storm and transform their businesses. We made strategic investments in marketing, technology, coaching, training and support services that made our agents more valuable to their clients. Now that the market is improving, our agents are in a great position for the future. As we look back, there are some incredible human stories that we will never forget."

Ads, hotels and old friends
Living out of a hotel room makes time stand still. After a week, the days really start to blend together. I establish a routine; my computer rests on the desk for emails; I sit on the couch to watch TV and Netflix. Over time a few random personal effects scatter throughout the room.
Upon entry, the room always looks the same, the bed magically remade as if a reset button has been pushed. Read more
Breakfast in Bed with Catskill Harvest Market
The Catskill Harvest Market (2758 State Route 52, Liberty, NY, 845/292-3838, www.catskillharvestmarket.com) is celebrating its second birthday this spring, and in just two years, it has gained renown and recognition as a top-notch garden center and local foods market.
Says co-founder and manager Daniel Duttinger, "It always seemed a bit odd that this kind of farm market was readily available in surrounding areas, particularly Ulster County—but not here." So, he and co-founder Will Foster went to the drawing board and began the research, and the market was born. Read more

What a great weekend I had; I went down to Queens to a cousin's party. There were over 45 of us, and there were a lot missing. This was my mother's mother's side of the family. My family tree could be a forest.
With my mother being so sick she wanted everyone together to have a party, so she and my two aunts were there. The three of them are the last of a generation; my sister and two cousins are the start of my generations; and there were three generations there after me. We are a very lucky family to have five generations. Being with family is always a fun time. Read more

With the NBA's February trade deadline rapidly approaching, the rumor mill will undoubtedly emphasize the shuffling of players between teams in the coming weeks.
However, the league's opening up of the 10-day contract period will also light a blazing hot stove for those remaining on the free-agent market. As expected in mid-January, there aren't exactly superstars sitting jobless at the moment.
But that doesn't mean the well has completely run dry on usable names. There are still more than a few veterans looking for jobs, just waiting to hear that call from an NBA team. Additionally, an even more interesting name could be making an NBA comeback after a three-year absence.
With that in mind, let's take a look at all the latest rumors floating around the Association.

Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Review by bettyy2k: One of our best cruises
Overall Member Rating
One of our best cruises
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Southampton
After 20+ cruises it's time to submit a review especially after reading all the whining about this cruise. We do not fly and normally sail with Princess and NCL. We sailed to Southampton via the Crown Princess for 2 weeks and it was delightful.
The day we arrived in Southampton we transferred to the Breakaway for the 7 day T/A to NYC. This ship is amazing. The entertainment is outstanding.
We booked directly through NCL as we always do. The agent told us 2 things up front: This is not a normal port for NCL (which explains any boarding confusion in Southampton) and this was the T/A to get the ship to NYC. The hoopla would commence there and not before.
Those complaining about this & that should be ashamed given what was paid for this trip no matter what category cabin you paid for.
Yes, there are design flaws and the cabins are teeny tiny but the showers are to die for. The ship has so much to offer for all ages.
Since the weather was a factor only More indoor activities could be appreciated. We are 65+ yrs old and found all the entertainment to be great. Rock of Ages was fun, Burn the Floor was incredible. Slam Allen was great. Second City was very good as usual and Graffiti Classics was a hoot.
The food was just ok but then all cruse food is only ok unless you are willing to pay for the extra tariff restaurants. There is no perfect ship or cruise line. If there were we would all be on the same ship.

The lights in the cabin are controlled by inserting your key card. After locking myself out only once I realized all you had to do was put something like a piece of cardboard in the slot. We used our Princess key card from the week before.

Showcase Journal
The latest issue of the Scandanavian Journal of Gastroenterology evaluates maternal use of 5-aminosalicylates in early pregnancy and congenital malformation risk in the offspring.
Most previous studies have failed to demonstrate any effect of maternal use of 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) on malformation risk, but the number of infants studied have, in most cases, been low.
Professor Bengt Källén and colleagues from Sweden obtained data from a large study with prospectively ascertained exposure information.
The study was based on data in the Swedish Medical Birth Register (19962011) where identification of maternal drug use is made from midwife interviews in early pregnancy.
The presence of congenital malformations was ascertained from 3 national registers.
The team calculated adjusted odds ratios by the Mantel-Haenszel methodology.
Among 1,552,109 women, 3651 with 3721 infants had reported the use of 5-ASAs in early pregnancy.
The team found that the risk of a major malformation was increased, and still more for a cardiovascular defect.
The team noted that this effect seemed to be influenced by concomitant use of systemic glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressants but some confounding by indication may also exist.
The researchers found no marked difference between the 4 5-ASA drugs studied.
Professor Källén and team concludes, "Infants born of women who use 5-ASA drugs in early pregnancy have an increased risk of a congenital malformation, notably a cardiovascular defect."
"This could be a drug effect or an effect of an active inflammatory bowel disease."

Using the Online Channel for CPG Product Launch: Yoplait Greek
How do you launch a new product in the $3.7B yogurt industry? That's a question that Yoplait, a General Mills brand, recently tackled with the launch of Yoplait Greek. The Greek yogurt market already has several top competitors including Fage and Chobani. However, Yoplait Greek managed to attract ninety thousand consumers to its site in the month of March. That volume is 3x the number of visitors compared to the next largest Greek yogurt site. So how did the company manage this? The answer lies in marketing of course.
Yoplait Greek used a combination of online display and search engine marketing to create awareness of the product and drive consumers to its website. Display advertising drove 26% of site visitors and search advertising drove 6% of visitors to the site. Display ads ran on high reach placements like Yahoo and Facebook to drive awareness.Yoplait Greek also had top sponsored search ranking on keywords like "yogurt" and "greek yogurt". Both display and sponsored search campaigns were aligned in their messaging calling out the benefit of "2x the protein with 0% fat".
Yoplait Greek also had a single call-to-action to download a coupon which was featured prominently on every page on the site. Of the 90K consumers who visited YoplaitGreek.com in March, 45% downloaded a coupon. Now that's not a conversion rate you see every day! The key take away from the Yoplait Greek case study is that marketers need to use display and search advertising hand-in-hand with aligned messaging. Also keep it simple for consumers without offering too many choices to take action. By keeping it simple nearly 1 out of every 2 visitors did exactly what the marketer wanted in this example by downloading a coupon.


text: Simple question. Do you believe that a conclusion can be made about the strength of an era based on the tally of tournaments & Majors won by players from that particular era? Or do you think that it is not as simple as just a statistical analysis and there are far too many things to be taken into consideration which makes it impossible to compare eras?

Summer is finally here! We've managed to have several weeks of temperatures in the 70's so I think it's safe to say now. A little over a week ago we embarked on a new journey. MarocBaba has always had stomach problems from the time he was a small child. If you know anything about Moroccan food you know that it's heavy on the bread. Heavy like bread with every single meal at least 3 times a day. We have been to a lot of doctors and have cut out spicy and greasy foods thinking that these were the things contributing to his stomach problems. While it helped some it didn't help completely and recently we noticed that his symptoms were getting a little worse.
Thanks to all of the great gluten-free friends I made at Eat, Write, Retreat, I started to wonder if he might have a gluten intolerance. In a leap of faith we cut out all wheat gluten to see what impact it had. This is very hard – and we eat 95% whole foods! I'm happy to say that it is helping and MarocBaba will be going in soon to be formally tested. In the meantime I've tried to make sure he's eating great just without the gluten. He really misses bread but I've been able to make a gluten free version – it's not pretty but it's tasty and that's all he wants!
Since it is summer we've been using our grill to cook as much as we can. I also have come to the realization that we need a new grill. Soon. We're making do. This gluten free dinner was one of my favorites so far.
All of these dishes have a very simple preparation. This is wild asparagus with the woody stems shaved. I drizzled them with olive oil and lemon juice and chopped fresh mint very thinly and sprinkled on.
Grilling away at the veggies. MarocBaba tossed a whole green pepper on to roast. When it was done I chopped it and tossed with olive oil and preserved lemon and little bit of cumin. Inside the tinfoil are some chopped ramps and butter – they get nice and caramelized.
Again, a very simple chicken breast. Olive oil and lemon juice with some fresh ground pepper and a little salt and chopped up basil.
While everything was on the grill I peeled and quartered some baby red potatoes. Tossed with olive oil, pepper, cumin and garlic. Placed in the oven at 350F for about 45 minutes. These are a new favorite of MarocBaba and the boys. While I hate having the oven on in the summer because of the heat – you can't beat these. Great side dish.
I'll be sharing more gluten-free recipes as we go and as I learn (I have a lot to learn!). I'd love to know what your favorite gluten free meal ideas are or what you love to cook in the summer!
Don't forget to enter to win some chili peppers from My Space Sage. You've only got until Friday!!

SARASOTA, Fla. -- It's impossible to pick only one reason for the Cardinals' offensive struggles in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Saints, so coach Bruce Arians didn't try on Monday.
The Cardinals (1-2) couldn't convert often enough on third downs (two of last 11 opportunities). They committed dumb penalties (illegal shift that negated a first down). They didn't protect the passer well enough. And they had two passes intercepted, both of which came after they had completed passes for first downs.
"Those are the things where your defense just gets worn out, when you start having a four (plays) and out, putting them back on the field too soon," Arians said. "And then (we) get a good drive going and have an interception.
"When it was a one-score game, offensively we had a chance to do some things and never got it done."
None of the Cardinals were surprised by what they saw on video Monday morning.
"We're just going out and putting things on tape that just aren't us," guard Daryn Colledge said. "The first drive we showed what kind of offense we can be. Right now, it's more mental than physical. It's one guy off on each play. In the NFL, you have a few of those and it can go down real fast, which is what happened (Sunday)."
Defensive lapses
The Cardinals sacked Saints quarterback Drew Brees four times, but they should have had more, Arians said.
"We had guys free that were unblocked and didn't make a sack," Arians said. "Drew got away, got the ball out. His 40 yards rushing obviously was huge. It's hard to come up with blitzes where guys come free, but we had them free about four times in the game and got no sacks."
Brees gained 21 yards on six carries, including a 7-yard touchdown.
Cornerback Patrick Peterson credited the defensive line for pressuring Brees, and blamed himself and the rest of the secondary for coverage problems.
"I believe we didn't play as tight as we wanted to," he said. "That's why he's Drew Brees. He can put the ball in tight spots and make the correct throws."
Okafor moves up
An ankle caused rookie outside linebacker Alex Okafor to miss practice time in training camp. He fell behind and was inactive for the first two games.
Okafor, a fourth-round pick, played his first NFL game last Sunday against the Saints and participated in a few plays after starter Lorenzo Alexander was injured.
"He got in four or five snaps and did fairly well," Arians said. "They did take a long run around his end where he was misaligned one time. But with a full week's practice, I think he should be fine."
Who: Arizona Cardinals (1-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3)

Friend Gets Annoyed
I have a friend who gets kind of mad whenever I make a dumb joke or a funny smile or bounce my head to music. What should I do?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
You could try having a talk with your friend about this. You might say, "This is hard for me to talk about, but I think it's important to our friendship." Explain that you don't mean to annoy him when you do these things. Then listen to what he has to say. Maybe he thinks you are doing these things to make fun of him.
Each of us is different, and joking and bouncing to music are parts of your personality. Your friend may become more accepting of these things after you've had a chance to talk this over.
Best wishes,

As revealed in a previous post today, the Nano you see features an AMT gearbox. Interiors of this Nano can be seen here. It is not clear whether the Zest sedan in the image above is that of its AMT variant or a regular manual variant.
To be sold alongside the Tata Indigo, Zest will offer a refined and luxurious experience. Not only the engine, exteriors, and interiors are refined, but also is the overall setup including the suspensions of the Zest are improved. Designed with help from Tata's design centre in Europe, Zest is developed with inputs from India's former Formula 1 race driver, Narain Karthikeyan.
To be manufactured at Tata's plant in Pune, Zest is a global car. It was recently displayed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. To be offered in a choice of petrol and diesel engine options, Zest will compete with the likes of Honda Amaze, Maruti DZire, and Hyundai Xcent.
Engine options on-board the new Zest will be in the form of Tata's new 1.2l Revotron turbocharged petrol engine with 5 speed manual gearbox. Apart from this, there will be a diesel engine too on offer and this one will be offered with AMT option. No automatic gearbox will be on offer. Once launched, Tata Zest will become India's most affordable automatic sedan.

'The Mentalist': Silver Wings of Time (6x17)
Hmm. Very interesting. Very interesting indeed. I liked this one. It had a very small feel to it, as most of the scenes were at the FBI office. Let us take a look.
A man is killed by a bomb at a bus stop. Turns out, this man was trying to find evidence that his friend wasn't guilty of a crime for which he is being sentenced to death. This friend has only three days left before he is executed. Abbott believes the convicted man when he says he's innocent, and so the team begins to hunt for the real murderer. They figure, whoever murdered the woman all those years ago also killed the guy with the bomb, in order to cover up new evidence he must have uncovered.
The husband of the woman who was murdered all those years ago is now married to a much younger woman. Jane insists that this man, Feinberg, is guilty, but they have no real proof. They bring him in to the office and question him all night, hoping they can get him to fess up before the wrong man is sentenced to death. At first, it seems as if they've failed: the man is executed. However, as Feinberg and his wife leave the FBI HQ, we learn it was all a setup - the man's wife was the one to kill his previous wife, so that they could be together. Luckily, the execution was staged by Wiley editing some news footage. Abbott is able to deliver the good news, and the condemned man goes free.
Meanwhile, Lisbon had a good time on her date with Pike, and is planning on going on another one. Jane does a poor job of hiding his jealousy. Even Fischer seems curious about Lisbon dating someone, and how Jane must feel about it.
What do I think? Well, for starters, I did think there was one rather weak part of this episode: the wife was the murderer. It was obvious from the start, in my opinion. She was acting really fishy. We even had a moment where Jane seemed to notice that she was acting fishy, and we saw it right along with him. If you're going to make it that obvious, then why hide it from the audience? I think we would have gotten just as much joy out of the episode if we had been allowed in on Jane's plan from the beginning. Overall, I think this show relies on the fake-out gimmick a bit too much.
Also, just on a quick note, I was sad to see that Fischer was mostly useless in this episode. She's really grown on me as a character, and I wish we got to see a bit more of her.
But for the most part, things were good!
John de Lancie was really amazing as Feinberg. I got to see him speak at Emerald City Comicon, and it was a real treat. He's an amazing man. He was playing a bit counter to his type in this episode, as it turns out he was innocent all along... no sneaky tricks for Q this time!
Jane is jealous of Lisbon! I have real hope that they're building towards a Jane/Lisbon end game now. I'm really excited about it. I especially loved the moment when Jane told her she looked beautiful. Moments like those are rare and must be treasured.
Wylie continues to delight. He's like a cute little puppy dog. His computer keeps saying the time out loud as a way to keep himself accountable. While at first it just seems annoying, it actually ends up tricking the suspects into thinking it's the wrong time, so they can pull off the execution fake-out.
Abbott was really interesting here. His genuine concern and compassion for the wrongfully convicted prisoner was very interesting. While I feel like it's probably not realistic that an FBI agent would take this kind of personal vested interest, it was still nice to see it in his character.
There you are! It looks like we might not be getting another season after this one... oddly, I'd be okay with that. As long as I feel like these characters get a chance to catch their breaths after Red John, I think the show has done its job.

(Phaseolus vulgaris) Colombia is the land of beans, although many people imagine that beans are of Mexican origin it is also suspected that Colombia was a great center of origin for the common bean; P. vulgaris (vulgaris in latin simply means common. The Merti Bollito Bean is considered by some to be one of the progenitors of the Borlotti Beans in Italy. These large beans probably are best grown in Southern locations because they will need shorter days to flower and set pods. If you are adventurous you may get some to plant and try your luck farther north.

Healthy Forest Initiative Passes
Casper, Wy – Lawmakers on Capital Hill reached an agreement yesterday over President Bush's Healthy Forests Initiative. The compromise would devote 780-million dollars to reduce the risk of the massive wildfires that have been seen in recent years. Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth was in Casper Thursday speaking at the Wyoming Heritage Foundation Forum. Bosworth is pleased the legislation is moving forward again.
The compromise reportedly looks more like the version passed by the US Senate, so it calls for 50-percent of the thinning work to be done in areas where communities border a forest. The legislation would also streamline the approval process for thinning projects and limit appeals and environmental reviews.

Seeking justice for murdered journalists
Since 1992, almost 800 journalists have been murdered for nothing more than simply reporting the news. In nine out of ten of these cases, their killers will go unpunished. This grave failure of justice for our fallen colleagues is a travesty. We must not only honor their memory and their brave legacies but also urge governments around the world to immediately end impunity for those who have committed crimes against journalists.

Director's Column | September 30th, 2013
"As we schedule and prepare for the actual enrollment meetings with employees, I wanted to let you know what will be required of those employees at the meetings. Assuming the employer has already created the group account on VHC (including setting the contribution amounts and uploading the census, which should be done in advance of the employee enrollment meetings), the employees will need to have with them two items:
1. The employer's EIN
2. The security code that was either emailed or written to them when the employer created the group account. This code links the employee to the employer.
When scheduling the enrollment meetings with businesses and municipalities, you may want to remind the employer that each employee will need this information on hand for the meeting.
I've also attached a spreadsheet that shows the information employers will need for uploading the employee census. The last two columns, annual salary and employee groups, are completely optional. Feel free to share this with employers."

National Wildlife Art Exhibition in Vermont
When The Bennington Center for the Arts opened its doors in 1994 the very first exhibition on display was the 34th annual exhibition of the Society of Animal Artists. The group is back, now with its 53rd annual show, and artists from around the country will be coming in for the opening reception and weekend activities on October 5.
This prestigious group came together in the 1950s when a group of nine artists mounted an exhibition titled Animals in the Bronx Zoo, sponsored by the New York Zoological Society. The enthusiastic public response to their exhibition inspired Patricia Allen Bott and Guido Borghi to form the Society of Animal Artists. Today there are almost 500 members residing in the United States, Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and Japan. The Society is dedicated to the portrayal of living heritage and its preservation through demonstrations, education and exhibitions such as the one at the center.
Visitors can also expect to see a wide variety of styles in the show from artists of differing backgrounds. There are pieces that are very contemporary, such as the stylized bronze bison by Sandy Graves from Colorado or Tokyo native Sadao Naito's modern interpretation of a hawk study. Those that lean to the romantic style of painting will not be disappointed. Jeff Gandert's Out from Under is just one of these paintings. Depicting a giraffe, the painting has the warm glow and soft touch reminiscent of the European masters. The exhibition and sale runs through Thursday, October 31 after which time it will begin its national tour.
The opening events take place this weekend, October 5 – 6. Artists will be in attendance throughout the day on Saturday and lectures geared toward artist education will take place Saturday afternoon. A reception opens at 7 pm on Saturday at which beverages and hors d'oeuvres will be served. The public is welcome to attend all day, free of charge.
Other shows on exhibit at the center this weekend include the Laumeister Fine Art Competition, juried by Fine Art Connoisseur magazine's editor, Peter Trippi and paintings created around the area during the Plein Air Vermont events the first weekend in September.

Ensuring theconservation of collections
In summer 2009, the Museum participated alongside more than 100 other institutions in a Conservation Assessment Grant (reCap) through Heritage Preservation, The National Institute for Conservation. The collection and building were assessed by a conservator with expertise in preventive conservation and an architect/engineer with historic structures experience.
In December 2007, Walter Newman, director of paper conservation at the Northeast Document Conservation Center in Andover, Massachusetts, surveyed over 250 drawings in the Frederick and Lucy S. Herman Collection and over 60 prints in the T. Catesby Jones Collection. Art history graduate students and faculty participated in this survey, which determined conservation priorities and provided a valuable educational opportunity.

Pumpkin Waffles With Orange Syrup (Low Fat)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
If your family is tired of ordinary waffles, they'll sit up and take notice when you sit this pumpkin-infused version and its orange syrup partner on the table. I got this recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens New Dieter's Cookbook.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1⁄2 cups nonfat milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1⁄2 cup egg substitute or 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Orange Syrup
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- In another medium bowl combine the milk, pumpkin, egg substitute, and oil. Add milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
- Pour about 3/4 cup batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. close lid quickly; do not open until golden brown. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grids. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For Orange Syrup: In a small saucepan stir together the orange juice, honey, cornstarch and cinnamon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve warm. Makes about 1 cup.

I wont give a star rating, as I didn't make the orange syrup that everyone is raving about. I just made the pancakes, and hey were quite good. I used a nutriwheat flour (tastes like white flour, nutrition or wheat flour) and that was the only change i made. I was hopign for more pumpkin flavour. I wqas also hoping for a more crispy waffle, but that could have been because of my flour maybe? Anyways, I would still make these again:) thanks!
I loved these! Perfect for breakfast for dinner! My waffle iron didn't like the thickness of the batter so I added in about a 1/4 cup more of skim milk and that seemed to take care of it. It was still thick, but manageable. I really liked the flavour. It was overpowering at all. I also liked that I was getting some veggies into my guys. I did change up the flour a touch. I did 1 1/2 cups all purpose, 1/4 cup whole wheat, 1/4 cup cornmeal (fine). That may have contributed to the thickness of the batter too, so I don't fault the recipe in the least! It was more than likely all my fault. :) I will make these again. Thank you SO much for sharing.
I love pumpkin so I just had to try these, the batter seemed very thick. I would like to try and thin the batter a little next time and also add a bit more pumpkin pie spice or maybe add in some cinnamon. They did cook up nice and fluffy. The orange syrup is the shinning star of this recipe what a nice addition to the pumpkin flavor of the waffles. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for spring 08 PAC.
