Before I share this delicious recipe,
I wanted to thank all of you for your support for our sweet friend Stacy.
For those of your who missed our Facebook post,
Stacy is Camille's neighbor and she is battling terminal brain cancer (Astrocytoma Glioma).
She is a wonderful mom to three beautiful children and although her time here on Earth is limited,
we want to try and make every day as comfortable and happy for her as possible.
The 5K race that we held in her behalf was a smashing success and we were able to raise almost $2000 for Stacy and her family!
If you are interested in reading Stacy's story or helping or donating,

Also, for those who were able to attend, here is a fun slideshow of the day:
I LOVE chocolate cake . . . especially when it's made from scratch!
However, I hate doing dishes.
And some cake recipes call for so many separate bowls for mixing different ingredients . . . why would I do all that extra work?!
One Bowl Chocolate Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk*
2 eggs
1 cup hot water
Frosting (my favorite is mom's chocolate frosting)
Sprinkles (completely optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Mix in the oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Once the eggs are fully incorporated, pour in the hot water and mix well (your batter will seem runny, but I promise that it will work out!).
Grease a 9×13″ baking pan and pour batter into pan. Bake for 33-38 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean- mine was done at 33 minutes). When the cake is completely cool, top with frosting and decorate with sprinkles (if so desired).
*Don't have buttermilk? No worries! It's simple to make your own!
Take one cup of milk and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the milk. Stir it up and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Use immediately.

(February 2000)
Greetings, I'm new to the list. I have a question, a contribution, and another question: 1) When a message has an attachment, the fronter and footer for the majordomo list are lost. The fronter is actually still there, but the email client doesn't see it because it comes before the MIME "declaration." The footer is plain gone. I am using 1.94.4, so maybe something in 1.94.5 fixes this. The fronter part seems easy, but I am puzzled by the disappearing footer. I saw this comment in the NEWS file for 1.94.5: o Detects some attachments sent as commands What does that mean and does it relate to this in any way? 2) My site has nested majordomo lists (list subscribers may be other majordomo lists at the site). A problem occurred where the fronters and footers for each nesting got appended. So, someone on a list 3 layers deep got three sets of fronters and footers. I got around this by adding a check for the X-List header that a majordomo list would put into a header once it has gone through majordomo and setting a variable called $NESTED_LIST to true: # -MK Add check for X-List in the header so we know that this is a # nested majordomo list. Then we can avoid putting numerous fronters # and footers onto it. if(/^x-list:.*majordomo/i) { $NESTED_LIST = 1 } else { $NESTED_LIST = 0; } Then, I changed the print statements in resend that print the fronter and footer to the message filehandle: print OUT $fronter unless $NESTED_LIST; # -MK .... print OUT $footer unless $NESTED_LIST; # -MK 3) I have several other customizations that I have made that may or may not benefit majordomo in general (I have a specialized site, but don't we all). Should I just mail them like above to share them? Lemme know. Thanks. ------------------------------ Mark It has to happen somewhere. It has to happen sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now? ------------------------------

If you're reading this, it's probably safe to say you already know Dendreon (DNDN) has turned into a train wreck of late. Its flagship (and only) drug Provenge — a therapy for prostate cancer — slowly but surely became a big disappointment, and that implosion has been reflected in the stock's price.
Luckily, there are a handful of lessons that wise investors may want to take away from this rags-to-riches-to-rags saga.
On the off chance you're not familiar with the stock, though, here's a quick recap. Dendreon shares plunged 26% on Friday after the company unveiled what can only be categorized as a horrible second quarter. Rather than the anticipated loss of 42 cents, the company lost 45 cents per share. Sales fell 8% to $73.3 million.
While not good, those numbers could have been worse. And they certainly don't explain a double-digit plunge in the stock's price. So what torpedoed DNDN last Friday?
More than anything, it was the forecast that Provenge sales are no longer expected to grow this year. For a drug that was excessively-ballyhooed leading up to its approval and that has only been on the market for three years, it's way too soon to start seeing sales weakness.
See, Provenge isn't "just another cancer therapy." It was the first approved cancer treatment that was a true cancer vaccine. Since then, a handful of other cancer vaccines have hit the market, but as they say, the first one tends to be the most memorable.
It also ignited plenty of optimism — perhaps too much optimism. Take a look at some of the now-wild predictions that were made regarding the treatment, which is expected to hold steady with $321 million in sales.
- "The company now forecasts up to $400 million in sales next year. Some analysts project the sales will ultimately exceed $1 billion a year, making the product a true blockbuster." –Minyanville, 11/4/10
- "Should Provenge prove to be as successful as many in the biotech industry think it will be, peak sales of $2.5 billion is possible. This is partly because competition is likely to be minimal since barriers to entry are very high due to the long and arduous developmental cycle a similar product must endure to reach the market." –Value Line, 12/11/2010
You get the idea. The bar was set pretty high for the drug, not just in terms of revenue, but also in terms of how long the drug would be able to defend its title as the "go-to" name in prostate cancer. Instead, Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Zytiga is looking outstanding as a prostate cancer treatment, and Medivation's (MDVN) Xtandi (phase 3) holds enormous promise as a prostate cancer therapy.

Hello, The first example in this note is illegal in the D programming language: http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d/2010-August/081424.html Coming from a Scheme background, I was surprised as this is allowed in Scheme. I.e. this is the quivalent code in Scheme: (let ((a 20)) (let ((a 30)) ...)) Andrei Alexandrescu pointed out the rationale for this design decision here: http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d/2010-August/081430.html It sounds like the D designers are "protecting" the programmers. The Racket team is of course concerned with the "teachability" of their languages and have experience with the known pitfalls in languages. So my question is, do any Racket people agree with the rationale provided by the D guys? In all your years of teaching Scheme/Racket, has this situation of shadowing names been a problem? (I've always seen it as a feature, even C supports it.) Ed

SPIDER SOLITAIRE

Spider is considered by many to be the best of solitaires, for it gives the greatest opportunity to overcome the luck of the deal by skillful play. Chance of winning is 1 in 3 games.

Shuffle 2 regular decks of cards together. Deal a row of 10 face down. Deal 3 more rows on the first, squared up, making a total of 40 cards in total. Then add 1 more card on each of the first 4 piles at the left. Finally, deal a row of ten cards face up on the piles. This layout is your table and foundations. The object of manipulation is to get 13 cards of a suit on top of a pile, ace at the top, and running in sequence from ace up to king as you go down the pile. Each time you have assembled a suit in this order, you may lift it right off and throw it out of the game. You win if you get all 8 suits assembled.

With the piles you may build down, rgardlessof suit or color. For example, the 4 of spades can be placed on any of the 5's. It is still best to follow suit, but it is important to get all face down cards into play as quickly as possible. Each time you clear all the face up cards off a pile, turn up the next card. If you clear away a complete pile, there is then a free place to move cards into to generate opportunity. Spaces are needed to interchange cards among the table's piles so as to get suits together.

Each time your manipulation come to a stand still, deal another row of ten cards face up on the table. Before doing so, you must fill all the open spaces. Then go to it again. After using up the entire deck, and making all the moves you can, that's the end of it you either win the game or start another.

CRIBBAGE SOLITAIRE

Objective:

To make as high a total score as possible after going through the deck. The average score is around 85, so to win the game you must reach 121, just as in regular Cribbage.

Cribbage Solitaire depends upon Cribbage for the scoring. Shuffle a regular deck, then deal 3 cards to your hand, 2 to your crib, and 3 more to your hand. Look at your hand and discard 2 cards to the crib. Turn up the next card in the deck for the starter, and score your hand. Then turn up the crib and score it. Discard the 8 cards used, place the starter on the bottom of the deck and deal
again. Continue in the same way until you go through the cards. At the end there sould be
4 cards remaining, turn them up and score them as a hand, without a starter.Count for
'his heels' and 'his nobs' as usual, except in the last hand.

POKER SOLITAIRE
Objective:

To make as high score as possible, counting each row and column as a Poker hand and scoring as follows:

Straight flush 30

4 of a kind 16

Staight 12

Full house 10

3 of a kind 6

Flush 5

2 pairs 3

1 pair 1

Shuffle 1 standard deck of playing cards and deal 25 cards one by one, placing them in a 5 x 5 square. The skill arises in picking the best spot for each card. The hands are not ranked as in Poker, but in accordance with their relative difficulty in the Solitaire game. A straight is hard to
make, for if you play for it, scoring 6 or 3 if you fail. Flushes are very easy to make;
in fact, the usual plan is to try for flushes in the columns and full houses or 4 of a kind on the rows. Most of the time you will make 3 or 4 flushes without giving up any higher-scoring opportunities.

Anyone who has owned a computer in the last 7 years knows what this style of solitaire is.
It is the solitaire game that comes with your computer under the accessories/games icon.
For those who are unaware of this, here is how to play .

Objectives:
Move all of the cards from the rows into the 4 open columns above the rows in sequential order, form ace up to king, in each of the four suits.Brendanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-29271553.post-1149467821128544292006-06-04T17:34:00.000-07:002006-06-05T20:51:40.693-07:00
Addiction solitaire
Object:
Start a different row for each suit, where each row starts with the two on the left hand side and ends with the king on the right hand side.

text: Here's a scenario. Let's say I have relative (let's use "he" for this purpose) living far away from me. He is what you can call, a normal person. He don't know/care about tech, but one thing he appreciates is pictures, so I would like to share my pictures with him. Where he lives, wireless cellular internet is more accessible than landline internet. He doesn't want to have a PC at all. A 3G iPad would be a perfect companion for him IMO. Now, to the sharing solution. I was watching some old Apple keynotes, and iPhoto used to have a feature called Photocasting. Eg. you have your family/friends subscribe to what is pretty much an RSS feed of your photo from iPhoto, and every time you put pictures in that feed, it will automatically pushed to the subscribers. Problem is, that feature is no longer. Besides, it would involve him buying a PC/Mac, which what we want to avoid in the first place. iCloud's Photostream seem to be the logical solution. But it's not. First, I would either have to have a separate iCloud account setup for him on my Mac, or have him access mine (which is not going to happen). Second, it shares just the one Photostream folder, and he would have to manage the albums himself. Lastly, it only works via wifi on his side, which we won't have as we would rely on 3G radio. How about dropbox/Skydrive. I can sign him up for an account, have it syncing with my Mac and he can access the pictures on the respective app on his iPad. Thing is, it's not intuitive having to use those apps instead of the built-in photo app. I can sign him up on Facebook or some social networking site and share the pictures that route. But then it would be too complicated explaining the whole thing when the goal is just to share pictures. Next thing I could think of is Picasa. I can setup a Google account for him, and have it synced with the albums in my Mac's Picasa. There are apps in the app store for iPads that would sync with Picasa. Seems like the easiest solution so far. What do you guys think? Any other ideas? The idea is to not having to rely on a PC/Mac.

- 1 1/2 pounds sourdough bread, sliced 3/4 inch thick
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 4 inner celery ribs, thinly sliced
- 3 small leeks (1 pound), white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds roasted ham, sliced 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
- 1/2 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
- 3 1/2 cups turkey stock
Toast the bread in a toaster oven until golden. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to a large bowl. In a large, deep skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in the olive oil. Add the onion, celery and leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ham, sage and thyme. Add the mixture to the pieces of toast along with the cheese and toss well. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and stir until the stock is absorbed.
Light a gas grill and set the burners to moderate (about 375°). Stack three 9-by-12-by-3-inch disposable foil pans and butter the inside of the top one. Spoon the stuffing into the pan. Cover with foil and grill with the lid closed for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to grill with the lid closed for 45 minutes, until the stuffing is sizzling around the edge and the top is very crisp. Alternatively, bake the stuffing in the oven in a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Serve hot.

An interesting conversation and Neville is certainly different from his Hogwart days.
loving it! really cool story so far.
Is this just turning into a Neville = Draco thing or is there action on the brotherhood/ Auror front?
Author's Response: It's a little of both. This story's panning out to be much longer than the others in this series, so the buildup is a little slower.
This is a great Neville. Wonderful dialogue.

News Release
Miami Law Alumnus Andrew Leinoff and Wife Ellen Establish Scholarship for Students Interested in Family Law
Family law attorney Andrew Leinoff, J.D. '74, and his wife, Ellen, have established a scholarship at Miami Law for students who have an interest in pursuing a career in family law. The recipients will be known as Leinoff Scholars.
Leinoff said that he and his wife decided to establish the scholarship not only because he was fortunate enough to have attended Miami Law but because both their sons, Paul and Max, also graduated from the school. Paul received his J.D. degree in 2005, and Max received his J.D. degree just one week ago.
"Both sons will be practicing with my firm," said Leinoff, who is the founder of Leinoff & Lemos, P.A, a boutique family law firm in Miami. "What greater pleasure than to robe two children at law school graduation and to have them both work with you afterwards. I never dreamed that this would ever happen."
Born in New Jersey, Leinoff received his bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University. He is certified as an arbitrator by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and is also certified in Marital and Family Law. He is the author of "Protecting Children of Divorce," published in The Florida Bar Journal, and has been a guest lecturer at Miami Law, the University of Florida Levin College of Law, and The Florida Bar.
"This scholarship is meant to encourage students to pursue the field of family law not only as a job but, more importantly, to help many in their moments of crisis," Leinoff explained. "So many clients have come through our doors over the years. We have tried to help as many as possible and have received so many letters of appreciation — even years later."
During his time at Miami Law, Leinoff was a member of Phi Delta Alpha. He is listed in Best Lawyers of America, and was selected as one of the top 100 lawyers in the United States by Worth magazine. He is also former president of the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
"The School has been very good to our family," said Leinoff. "I have often lectured at the family law classes and have been treated with respect, and feel as if I am one of the family."
What was his most memorable moment in law school? "The first day and the last day," he replied. "The rest is but a blur!"

Twelve indictments have been returned against the man and woman accused of raping a handicapped 4-year-old local girl, a case that drew international attention.
Six indictments were returned by a grand jury of the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court against both John D. Stoneman (aka Randy D. Wackbacher), 39, and Patricia A. Kelley (aka Patricia A. Dowell), 39, formerly of Happydale Road.
Stoneman was indicted on three counts of rape, all first-degree felonies, with specifications of life in prison; pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony; pandering obscenity involving a minor, a fourth-degree felony; and unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, a fifth-degree felony.
Kelley was indicted on four counts of rape, all first-degree felonies, with each count containing a specification for life imprisonment; complicity to commit rape with a specification of life imprisonment; and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony.
Both remained jailed on $10 million bonds set by Municipal Court Judge John Mark Nicholson.
Stoneman and Kelley are alleged to have raped the girl while she was in the care of Kelley, a former registered nurse. The alleged attacks were reportedly captured on video tape.
The suspects were formerly at the top of Guernsey Countys Most Wanted list while they were on the run from July 2003 until they were captured in Canada on March 4, 2004. They were apprehended following an episode of Americas Most Wanted which was aired in the Ontario area just days before their arrest.
Stoneman and Kelley were featured on several episodes of Americas Most Wanted, and host John Walsh listed them as two of his personal most wanted fugitives.
Canadian authorities have reportedly filed charges against Stoneman and Kelley for possession of child pornography, but have said they will wait until the case in Guernsey County is completed before pursuing court proceedings.
Stoneman and Kelley are expected to make their initial appearance in the Court of Common Pleas on April 19 at 1 p.m. for arraignment hearings.

2009 Operations
Lieutenant RedHellion took Anaconda to Galbraith Hills for some R&R -- not rest and recuperation, Repair and Recovery! While Commander Lucy was on Shore Leave, the team got out their toolboxes and restored the suburb's building to give the survivors a safe place to sleep!
Teams Anaconda and Dark Watch met up near Marven Mall to face off in a friendly yet fierce competition! Both teams were ravenous for points and got to work on valuable revives right away. During the OP, Marven Mall rose and fell a couple different times, but both teams helped get the survivors back up on their feet quickly. In the end, the two combat squads fought valiently, with Anaconda only edging DW by 3/4th of a point: 354.91 to 354.16!! Congrats to both teams on a job well-done!
With every active member ranked Conflict Trooper or above, Team Anaconda decided it was time to nab some ABAs! Setting out to assist Kempsterbank, the team not only helped Fortress Allies recover the suburb, but they also earned 17 mod-approved ABAs! Here was the rundown:
ABA #1 --> TWIN DRAGON (Red)
Feeling a need for speed, Tommy Crowbar and Miss Elainious rejoined Team Anaconda for their GRAND PRIX race around Malton! Everyone pulled up to the starting line at F4 -- revving engines and talking smack -- then the green flag waved and they were off!
Right off, Beats and Spray had some car trouble, and the Brigadier's Lamborghini kept being mysteriously vandalized.... However, Spray and TC quickly found shortcuts in the course and made up their time. Meanwhile, Red and Tiago were battling hard in the corners, but Tiago slowly gained the advantage in the straightaways. With Spray also moving up in the standings, TC, Miss E, and Lucy resorted to a friendly game of bumper cars.
Back at Checkpoint 2, Beats finished removing all the sugar which somehow had materialized in his gas tank, and took off with blazing speed! He caught up with the pack, at one point threatening to overtake Miss E, but by then it was too late. Tiago sped across the finish line at F3 to nab 1st place, followed shortly by Spray in 2nd. Red was having trouble cleaning zombie blood off his windshield, narrowly falling to 6th as Miss E, Lucy, and the Brig passed him on the last lap to take 3rd, 4th, and 5th, respectively. Beats finished in 7th, but with better luck next time, he'll give Tiago a run for his money!
Understandably eager to help our kilt-less buddy, Samuel L Jackson, Anaconda headed up to Stanbury Village. The team quickly got to work, working together with the Kilt Store employees to get their famous tartan wares back on the shelves. The RRF got word of what we don't wear beneath the kilt and shambled into town to see for themselves. Anaconda had come for the kilts, but stayed on a few days longer than expected to pick up some assassinations as well -- after all, they were having a 2-for-1 special sale at Nichols Mall!
In an effort to support the recovery of devastated F4, Anaconda turned its attention to Mockridge Heights. It was believed that once survivors regained their foothold in the surrounding area, recovery for F4 would be much easier. Providing plenty of revives and building reconstruction, the team quickly got the suburb back up to code. The focus was then turned to Galbraith Hills, which was also vastly improved by the Condas. Sure enough, F4's recovery team was successful, due in large part to Anaconda's hard work.
Continuing their quest to clean up Southeast Malton, Anaconda moved into Hollomstown. The team was in the mood for some friendly competition, so they split up into two squads: TEAM COBRA and TEAM VIPER.
Viper jumped out to an early lead, but Cobra was not far behind. The score was close the entire time, with Viper clinging to their slim lead for over a week. Both squads were so diligent in their tasks that Hollomstown was recovered -- with 5 whole days left in the operation! Unfazed, the squads moved into neighboring East Grayside. Team Cobra set upon the revive points, overtaking Team Viper with 24 hours left in the contest. Viper made it interesting with a big 61-point repair only hours before the deadline, but Cobra hung on to win a nail-biter: 1343-1309!
Forging ahead into the dark and desolate southeast, Anaconda found itself in an unenviable position. Building after building had fallen into ruin and repair costs on even the smallest buildings were climbing.
Without their Commander or Lieutenant, the situation looked bleak, but in a time of crisis, the team stepped up and fought through insurmountable odds. Slowly but surely, the Fortress brought Osmondville up to code. Pennville quickly followed. In the end, an evil remained entrenched at Blesley Mall, but thanks to Anaconda, survivors have regained a foothold in the southeastern suburbs!
Following the greatest Chain Kill in team history, Anaconda moved out to the western edge of the quarantine. The border had been steamrolled by the Militant Order of Barhah. Anaconda easily recovered the sparsely-developed Peddlesen Village, single-handedly upgrading its danger status twice in only a few days.
Dunell Hills proved to be a much more difficult challenge, as the majority of the suburb had been abandoned by survivors... We met up with several of our allies from the DHPD, the only remaining group, but even together we struggled to get a foothold within the burb. Eventually, the teams began sweeping between Owsleybank and Peddlesden, repairing what we could and clearing the revive queues.
With repair costs creeping upward, Anaconda found a perfect opportunity to perform the first ever Silent Sentinel ABA, recovering Tooze Bank for 131AP and bravely defending it for several days. After making repair-cost history, we finished up what we could, and moved out to restock before joining Team Dark Watch in Havercroft.
After voting for Caiger Mall as the next target, Anaconda approached the legendary shopping center from the south, first doing some much needed repairing and cading along the West/East Becktown border. Once the team arrived at the mall, we assisted in repelling a few attacks before the ravenous horde finally broke inside and destroyed everything.
Not easily discouraged, Anaconda mobilized quickly to revive the fallen and provide safehouses. Within a few days, Caiger was in survivor hands once again and defenders began pouring in. The horde outside the SE corner grew again to above 50, with nearly 50 more dead bodies littering the streets... but mid-OP, our brothers and sisters in Battlehawk made their rendezvous with us. Together, we Bikini-Chain-Killed an incredible 60 zeds, essentially clearing all standing zombies and giving the Caiger survivors a rare victory!
The team marched northwest into Molebank to finally meet our friends in 10 Minutes from Hell and escape the weird going-ons in Shore Hills... we'd been warned about the strange mutant zombie moles that inhabit the suburb (most likely due to the high number of NT buildings there)... but the nasty smell that greeted us at the edge of Molebank reeked of zerger - a much more disgusting scent than any undead, deformed rodent could produce. Thus, we met our buddies, drank some beers, reset a chunk of repair costs, and got the hell outta dodge. Fresh air was just around the corner...
Looking for a little friendly competition, Anaconda ventured into Shore Hills and Lerwill Heights to battle against some pretty unusual circumstances... here were the results:
Anaconda provided revives and repairs for northern Whittenside. In an effort to distract the plethora of zeds swaying within a ruined Fort Perryn, the team successfully allowed our allies to move in and recover the fort. A fierce battle raged for days, fueled by Anaconda revives and the occasional timely headshot. In the end, the fort fell once again, but not before our team had flexed its massive reviving muscles and made a good first impression on our new friends at the Malton Urban Militia.
After Operation: Red Mist, Acting CO Lucy decided that we needed a vacation. She told us to wrap up what we were doing, stock up and be prepared to move out. It turned out that we were going to be taking a tour of southwest Malton. We worked out way through Osmondville, Pennville/Whittenside, with a brief tour of Whittenside, Fryerbank, and Penny Heights. As the "vacation" progressed, found that it wasn't as much a vacation as it was just another full operation. We fought long and hard in the various burbs, though stopping at F2 for some poker and drinks. As the operation was winding down, we received news that shocked us all.
Our beloved CO, Charlie Mon was stepping down. His RL had to take priority, and he felt that he couldn't give Team Anaconda the attention it deserved. EVERYONE deeply respected our Commanding Officer for having the courage and foresight to step down when it was necessary.
The council decided that LT Lucy would be our new CO, and upon her confirmation, she promoted Couponballer to be her LT. With Anaconda's rank structure back in place, and Operation Leisure Rules complete, we were ready to proceed to our next challenge.
After the festivities were done, Anaconda needed a challenge. Heading up to zed infested Barrville, we got just that. After a couple of weeks of intense fighting, we were able to turn the suburb from RED to GREEN. Leaving us no time to bask in the glow of a job well done, we headed down to Blesley Mall to help in the defense there.
After a furious back and forth battle with the RRF, the mall was eventually secured for the survivors. It was at this point in the operation that Tiago Ferreira got his "Heavens Touch" ABA. After the Mall battle we headed to Scarletwood to aid the Garniss Border Patrol. By the end of the operation, the GBP were all standing and their HQ was EHB with a generator. With challenges about, the Anacondas once again proved that regardless of the job, we could handle anything!
2008 Operations
Our courageous Conda crew charged into a heavily-infested Kempsterbank and West Grayside. Despite frequent break-ins, the team managed to retake several resource points in Kempsterbank before working towards Pole Mall. Once taken, Pole Mall fell again for lack of survivor support. Thankfully, the Malton Medical Staff gave Anaconda a place to regroup in Kinch Heights.
In a flash of true skill and style, Anaconda then had a 4-day revive contest, with Paul Formain and Mondie tying for 1st place with 9 revives apiece. All in all, the contest produced 47 revives for the community, and provided Pole Mall with defenders. This time, the mall was held. It was a huge success for Anaconda and CO Charlie mon, as it was his first operation as our leader.
CO Miss E and the gang grabbed some toolboxes and headed to Shackleville for a real fixer-upper! Reports were coming in that the area had been devastated by a zombie hurricane. The survivors and their families were in dire need of food, FAKs, and a warm place to sleep at night. Anaconda quickly and efficiently reworked the contract with our broadcasting company, and ventured to the "Shack". With a crew of cameramen, Combat Vets, and Fortress Defense, we got to work right away. The first half of the OP was spent redecorating the neighborhood and picking color schemes for our graffiti tags. We also installed gennies in the newly refurbished safehouses, each one with enough fuel to provide light for a family of ten! In danger of exceeding the furniture budget, the team found some old supply crates and ingeniously converted them into dining tables. It was close, but we got it done in plenty of time. Extreme Makeover was our last operation under Miss Elainious, so we worked hard to give her a proper send off. In the end, we tipped our hardhats to one of the finest Commanders ever to lead Team Anaconda, and warmly welcomed Charlie mon to continue on in her stead.
In an unprecedentedly brave mission, Anaconda moved into Ridleybank to begin Whomeyayou's OP for the November 5 celebrations. With Brigadier Crowbar as our VIP and Miss E as our Commander, we stormed into Moggridge Place Police Department, the home of the RRF's zombie veterans, fueled a genny, constructed some cades, and waited. Anaconda remained on edge for nearly 3 days, demonstrating the utmost vigilance by protecting our sleeping VIP. Some members took some surrounding buildings, but in the end, Lord Moloch decided we had exhausted our welcome and quickly ousted us from our cozy PD. Despite the RRF's lack of hospitality, Operation: Final Destination was anything but a failure. Anaconda built character, demonstrated excellent teamwork, and even broke in a couple new members.
Anaconda moved to Quarlesbank, home of the infamous Lord Pitman. The burb was red, red with the blood of those who succumbed to the horrors wrought by the evil Lord himself, seen lurking about watching our every move. Anaconda was on a mission to recover this Suburb so that The Fortress could celebrate all hallows eve in the Pitman mansion with friends and allies. In less than a week Anaconda helped to turn this dangerous red suburbs light yellow and laugh in the face of the dastardly Lord P as Zeratul and Charlie cut him down twice on his own doorstep!
Anaconda moved to the north to take back Yagoton & East Boundwood. It was a treacherous assignment, both suburbs were red and zed filled. Several ancients were seen shambling around the area coupled with a high concentration of PKers. Anaconda bravely withstood the pressure and forged a new alliance for The Fortress in the process with The Abandoned, showing them they were not really abandoned at all. Survivors stand together united. Anaconda recovered targeted resource buildings, cleared the RPs and still found time to retake Bale Mall.
Anaconda embark on a fun-filled friendly competition. Use the forum dice-rolling feature we were divided into two teams, the highest rolls in Team High Rollers and the lowest rolls in Team Low Riders. For two weeks the teams criss-crossed Malton in a race to complete a set f objective in 6 separate suburbs and receive a suburb stamp on their passport.This mission required coordination, cooperation, organization, strategic thinking and planning between team members. Competitive juices were flowing, much team building ensued and in the end team High Rollers persevered and completed their passport first for the win!
The MoB had invaded Hollomstown and it's famous cheese factory stealing The Fortress' PayCheese! Anaconda rallied to the cause chasing MoB from Hollomstown, through East Grayside and into West Grayside repairing damage as they went. We finally caught up with the dastardly perpetrators in West Grayside, rebuilding the area and securing our cheese supply.
Olympic fever hit Malton and Anaconda held their own Sporting Event in the suburbs of Stanbury Village & Ridleybank. Anaconda members put in an outstanding performance and many medal races were very close. LT Terk did a supurb job of maintaining a scoreboard and tallying statistics to allow each contestant know just where he stood.The fact that the hotly contested Nichols Mall and Went NT were also retaken and held was just gravy.
Anaconda worked to restore Hildebrand with Battlehawk who were leading an operation in the Roftwood area then lashed back at the RRF by reclaiming Stanbury Village ending with reclaiming Nichols mall, undoing much of the havoc the horde had reeked.
Team Anaconda once again joined forces with their good friends in Battlehawk to retake and hold Marven Mall agains the MoB. This was done with breathtaking speed and ease. We came, we saw. we conquered. Anaconda was even presented with a stuffed bear and a moose head by grateful locals. Unfortunately the bear turned out to be Jay Gorman, the bear of BH's cousin, but as they say, 'it's the thought that counts' .
There where people starving in East Becktown, and the desolated Northwest. They needed aid. They needed refreshment. They needed..a picnic? Team Anaconda and Battlehawk once again joined forces in East Becktown and beyond, where sandwiches are salvation. Retaking Caiger mall among many buildings, this was truly a strange picnic indeed.
Caiger Mall and the Pitman Mansion are one of the few landmark in the fearsome northwest. An exciting adventure spanning four suburb, Operation: Heritage was worth the risk for many 'Conda. Their objective was to quickly repair any buildings through the northwest repairing as they moved up to Quarlesbank, home of Lord Pitman and the historic Pitman Mansion. The operation ended with the retaking of the Pitman mansion, and a big party.
The team worked through the suburbs of Scarletwood, Danversbank and Whittenside clearing, repairing, barricading, healing and reviving before joining with allies and teams Cold Cell and Dark watch to retake Fort Perryn. An outstanding real time coordinated strike between the three Fortress teams and allies in the Canonball Crew, Fort Perryn Defence Force and Creedy Defence resulted in the decisive victory of a swift and successful claiming of the Fort.
Northern Malton had been flattened by the hordes, specifically The Dead whose soul objective was to destroy all life in Malton. The northern half of Malton had become one giant red zone and The Dead had turned their hungry eyes to the south. Their southern hordes have not been as successful and they have begun to move some of their numbers south to reinforce the southern hordes. As they sent numbers south and the RRF returned to their home in Ridleybank, Anaconda bypassed them and moved northward and into the northeast to restore life and light. Travelling through Roachtown, Santlerville up into Dulston, the operation ended with a final standoff which saw Anaconda and allies repel The Dead and force their retreat.
The 5 battle teams of The Fortress united for an operation lasting 35 days. Engaging allies The Fortress moved through moved through 12 suburbs and was instrumental in 9 mall recoveries. On average the united teams recovered a suburb every 3 days.
Team Anaconda worked with allies to defend the suburbs of Scarletwood and Gulsonside from the RRF. Anaconda was instrumental in taking back Blesely mall and multiple resource buildings.
Anaconda worked with the Fortress 4 defence team and Boot Camp recruits to defend Boot Camp, recover Fortress 4 and the surrounding suburb as well as retaking a nearby mall for supplies. The suburb was upgraded from dangerous and remained so throughout the operation, even as neighbouring suburbs fell.
Anaconda moved to Darkerston and worked to reclaim resource building in an area held by Extinction. The team recovered several buildings in the initial day and to execute over 30 zombies during the 4 days of operations. Enemy numbers became overwhelming however, when news of survivor presence drew them from surrounding suburbs.
Team Anaconda had been doing an excellent job holding off the Big Bash raiders in Gidding Mall. Operation Armageddon was a huge success and Anaconda continued to work together as a team to develop their strike coordination and to continue the efforts for The Fortress in this famous "Siege of Giddings Mall (Big Bash '08)". Team Anaconda along with support from our friends in Team Dark Watch performed numerous real time raids on the Big Bash horde at Giddings Mall and helped repel the zombie forces for over a week with no casualties.
Anaconda worked with allies and other Fortress Teams in the historic Battle of Giddings to defend Moorish NT and Giddings Mall from Big Bash 2. The defenders at the Battle of Giddings including team Anaconda put up an unprecedented defence against the hordes and Anaconda exceeded on the goal of a team 5000XP gain.
Team Anaconda worked with MFD to assist with their struggle in Brooke Hills and Yagotown. Anaconda came from the North while the DEM advanced from the South, outflanking the horde in a decisive victory.

Brian Swaine
Biography of Brian Swaine
I was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada on October 29th,1962, one of a set of fraternal twins. I was raised and educated in Canso, Nova Scotia. I received my diploma in Nuclear Medicine Technology at the Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, N.S. in June of 1983. I spent most of the next 19 years in St. John's, Newfoundland before moving to the Siouxland area in 2002. I've been writing poetry since the age of twelve (although some of that earlier work lacks structure) but I became really intrigued when I was introduced to the Shakespearean sonnet in seventh grade, hence most of my poems are in that format. I only write when I'm inspired so most of my work is about my faith those closest to me.
Brian Swaine's Works:
My poem, 'The River' is published in print in 'Reflections by Moonlight', Pictorial Press,1995 on page 380.
Brian Swaine Poems
The Poet
Shakespeare was a playwright of great ability, And, although very few of us know it, That besides being a great writer of tragedy, Shakespeare was a notable poet.
Two Ships
Two souls adrift on a sea of emptiness; Like two ships in search of that long-lost horizon. Neither one knowing if their course leads east or west; Neither one knowing where they'll end or where they'd begun.
Change can mean a loss or change can mean a gain; Change can give us joy or change can cause us pain. Change can bring glory or change can point blame; Change can give us wisdom or change can bring us shame.
Love is patient; it is a sea of tranquility with waters so calm. Love is kind; its tenderness and goodness is a haven so warm.
The Greatest Gift
What is the greatest gift to give this Christmas? What is the greatest gift we can ever receive? What treasure is there that totally fulfills us? What riches could ever satisfy our need?
Rainbow In The End
The sun may not always shine and the flowers not always bloom; And the dark clouds of sorrow and despair may fill your life with gloom. There may be days when it gets so hot, you seek cover in the shade; And there will be times when the storms of life will rain on your parade.
The Wave
Watching from afar, we marvel at the storm; Knowing where we are, it can do us no harm. The pounding rain and the lightning's hand Are far, far away in another's land.
The Dream
Our lives are mere grains of sand in the hour glass of time, Our bodies just vessels in which we travel. If we close our eyes and pray, true meaning we will find, And the mysteries of life all begin to unravel.
I Know...
The sun shines brightly down on me; The birds sing cheerfully in the trees. The grass is green, the flowers in bloom; Their fragrance surrounds me like a sweet perfume.
A Lonely Warrior
I'm a lonely warrior on an empty battlefield; My head, it aches, my body grows numb. But with copious courage, I raise strength, sword and shield, To face the cold foe now that the battle's begun.
The River
Winding down its narrow, rugged gorge, The River roars its thunderous refrain; And, as it is its destiny to forge, It draws even more power from the rain.

The River
Winding down its narrow, rugged gorge,
The River roars its thunderous refrain;
And, as it is its destiny to forge,
It draws even more power from the rain.
Ever so strongly, it beckons, it calls;
Ever so loudly, it issues its challenge.
With frothing white water and tumbling falls,
It delivers its message of dreadful revenge.
Marvel at me, it says to mankind;

Her name is Pearce. Here is the story..PLEASE keep the family in your prayers!
On October 26th, I went in for a routine ultrasound to measure Pearce's head and spine since she would not move it out of my bladder long enough in the previous ultrasound. Directly after the ultrasound, the tech took us into the room with the doctor. Doctor Faruque informed us that her head was not measuring the way that it should and that we needed to go to Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte right away – they were waiting on us so that we could see the specialist there.
After two more ultrasounds at Presbyterian, the doctor told us that Pearce has a fatal birth defect known as anencephaly. Anencephaly develops 20-23 days after conception – most likely before I even knew that I was pregnant. The spinal column does not complete fuse together at the top – which causes, in turn, the skull not to form – along with her little brain. It is a fatal birth defect – no child has survived past a few days. 50% of babies with anencephaly do not make it full term. 25% of those that are left do not make it through the actual labor process. The remaining 25% only live a few short hours after being born.
The doctor gave me two choices. The first and most common … to have the pregnancy terminated in Atlanta. The second … to carry Pearce full term (or as long as God chooses) and give birth knowing that she will not make it but a few hours, if that. I understand where some may not be able to wake up every day knowing that the baby inside them is just living … to die – but for me, this was not a decision. As hard as it is to think that she may just be living … to die … Pearce is named … I've seen her move around inside me in the ultrasounds … she kicks me 24/7 … she is alive and perfectly content inside me - and who am I to take that away from her?
So I will be carrying her full term – or as long as God allows …
My request to you, facebook friend, is this: pray for my little girl. Pray for God's will … but let Him know that we want a MIRACLE! There is a reason If the doctors are correct (and they are 99.9% positive) then pray that my precious angel will make it full term and through the labor process so that I, and the rest of her family, can at least hold her and look into her eyes to tell her how much we love her … before we turn her back over to God.
Pray for Pearce - and pray for peace.

MegaMeeting's interface was exactly what we were looking for. Adjustable video frames, simple options such as share desktop, higher video quality, user friendly, and all without making your invitees download a program to join a webcam session
Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) April 20, 2010
Why would a law firm known for using cutting edge techniques to achieve great results for their clients, use anything but the latest technology to assist them in getting those results? Known for being innovative trendsetters in the law industry, Florida-based law firm Hightower & Partners, use MegaMeeting.com Video & Web Conferencing technology to save time and money for not only themselves, but their clients as well.

When researching for the right web conferencing platform to use, Hightower & Partners' #1 priority was to find a simple, easy to use solution that offered quality video. "MegaMeeting's interface was exactly what we were looking for. Adjustable video frames, simple options such as share desktop, higher video quality, user friendly, and all without making your invitees download a program to join a webcam session", states Torres.

Sometime soon, I will be receiving the results of my NCS examination. I'm not sure I'm ready to open the envelope. So far I've dismissed questions about it by saying I won't know until June. Now it's June. I'm going to find out.
I'm resigned to either outcome. I walked out of the testing center with no idea of how I did. Last year I felt confident when I left the GCS exam. I knew I would pass. I just wasn't sure how I would score. This year, from the moment I read the first question I knew I was in trouble. I had prepared. I felt ready. It wasn't what I expected. I keep telling myself on the positive side at least I know exactly how to prepare for next time.
Since that time, I've come to realize how much I did learn. Questions have come up that I knew answers to. I've been able to explain neuro-degenerative conditions without looking up the answers. I drew a wonderful diagram for someone to demonstrate the theory behind body-weight-supported treadmill for SCI patients. I couldn't have done that this time last year. I know I have the knowledge. I don't know if I passed the test.
Earning the NCS won't help advance me at work. It won't get me more money, although it might help the raise at annual review a little. It doesn't bring me more respect or increase my duties and responsibilities. Doesn't matter. I don't want it for those reasons. I want it as a personal achievement I set for myself.
My problem is I don't want to open the envelope. If I don't know, then I can continue on. I don't want to take that test again but I would. Right now, the thought of all that effort is weighing me down. I'm not usually one to back away from something but the envelope might sit for a few days.
If I do pass, I will have an interesting problem. I will have more letters behind my name than in my name. That's no problem for my electronic signature but will be a pain to write.
You bring up an interesting point, how your certifications and specialization in these areas (NCS and GCS) don't equate to an increased pay or change your responsibilities at work. I wish "the system" rewarded the PTs who go on to prepare for and take these exams. I wish the quality of our work automatically resulted in a higher pay rate than the therapists who practice without these specialized qualifications. Patients who are treated by an NSC therapist following a SCI are likely going to have better treatment interventions and quicker, quality outcomes. Those outcomes deserve attention, not just personal satisfaction in passing the exam.
Good luck in opening your test results, it's a hard feeling!

Dror for Tumi
The multidisciplinary designer re-imagines travel in a transformational line
When designer Dror Benshetrit joined with Tumi to create a line of luggage, the unlikely marriage was bound to produce something unique. Rather than imagining this as a simple one-off collaboration, Tumi approached the project as their first line with a third-party designer, opening their heritage to Dror's creative force. The brand's commitment to sustainable design and perfectionism was well met with Dror's hands-on, anything-is-possible approach. Working intimately with Tumi's design director Victor Sanz, Dror set out to create 11 pieces that exemplified expansion, adaptability and refinement. On a recent visit to Studio Dror, we talked to Sanz and Dror to learn more about this ambitious undertaking.
Dror's multidisciplinary background is certainly impressive, but luggage remained a mystery to the designer when the project began, and Sanz stepped in to guide him through the unique dilemmas of luggage design. "Imagine you're flying at 40,000 feet, and the cargo hold gets down to negative 40 degrees, and you land on the tarmac in Dubai and now the cargo hold is this oven," postulates Sanz. "Materials have a tendency to do very strange things when they start going through these temperature ranges."
While Tumi refused to produce anything that didn't match their standards, the field was otherwise open, and Dror was essentially designing for himself as a seasoned traveler and long-time Tumi customer. He would often build in his workshop prototypes that Sanz then turned over to engineers. The thinking seemed to be that if a prototype could be created in Dror's workshop, then Tumi could find a way to make the real thing.
Acting as cornerstone to the project, the first endeavor was to create an expandable carry-on that could double in size. The sophisticated mechanism uses hinges on all four corners, which collapse to reduce the perimeter of the frame, thus allowing the walls of the bag to fold in on itself. This was a first for Tumi, and the process took years of development and testing to perfect. From a research perspective, the advantage was that this design would anticipate the way people will travel in the future.
"I think that we are all becoming more and more demanding customers," says Dror. "Three years ago we didn't walk around with these crazy devices that can access any application, any data, any information. Not to say that it's good or bad—it's just a reality of things...The transformation is really about the adaptability to our lifestyle."
While the form and mechanics of the collection vary between bags, the look remains consistent. "There were a lot of decisions that happened in this collection that started from logic and then became an aesthetic element," explains Dror. "One of them is the creases. When you think about a sheet that has no strength, one of the easiest ways to give it strength is by giving it creases. So we gave the bag simple ridges, and we actually fell in love with the aesthetic."
The lines and ridges that run throughout are reminiscent of the QuaDror system, and can be found on everything from polycarbonate shell to the leather handle to the foam liner of the laptop sleeve. The play of light creates unique viewing angles for the entire collection, keeping the look refined yet professional.
While Tumi is justifiably known for their ballistic nylon fabric, Dror saw room for improvement. "Ballistic nylon is a pretty unbelievable fabric because it always looks fresh, it's super strong, it's really indestructable. But at the end of the day it's nylon and it can feel a bit synthetic," he admits. "We wanted to see how you can make it feel a bit more natural, a bit more organic, and I think that when you're talking about organic, one of the main things is that the thing is a bit random. So we've taken different sizes of yarn and actually created a random order weave from both directions." This process yielded a unique pattern and color that the team immediately embraced.
The collection also features a custom clasp that is an intuitive and tactile take on the classic option. Each component was hand-machined and calibrated, a necessary expense that guaranties a higher performance than cast metal. The reason for going to these extremes is best summed up by Dror's promise that "We don't flash in the pan". Creating a collection that was entirely new yet built to last a century required custom elements at every level. "Nothing is off the shelf," adds Sanz.
While the expanding hardcase started the process, some of the smaller, less complicated pieces proved the most troublesome to perfect. Starting with the question "How do you use a dopp kit?", the team developed a travel kit that lies flat for stowage and stands up for use at the sink. Also suitable for placement over towel rack or the back of a chair, the dopp kit features a hidden compartment for passports, just one of the many details that make travel more enjoyable.
When it came to the backpack, Dror admitted that he loved the practicality but didn't necessarily think the style fit well into professional settings. In the end, utility won out. "These things are extensions of our bodies," says Dror, explaining the need for comfort. "Sometimes you spend your entire day with a backpack and your just like attached to this thing physically." To reconcile the issue, Dror hid the straps and gave users the option to carry the bag as a brief, tote or backpack.
Other pieces benefitted from the research, but weren't necessarily extremely complicated to create. The travel satchel was meant as an accommodating piece, expandable enough to carry whatever you throw its way. Commenting on the largest of the lot, a four-wheeled suitcase, Dror gushes, "It's like driving a Bentley." The benefit of fusing tech aspects with luxury details is evident throughout, from the hand-placed leather on handles to the specially fabricated plush mesh interior liner.
The Dror for Tumi Collection is available online and in stores.
