Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9 inch round pans with vegetable pan spray.
In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy; add extracts and beat well. Add egg whites, 2 at a time, mixing until well blended. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in three additions alternately with milk, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl as needed.
Divide batter into 4 equal portions (about 1-2/3 cups batter each). Add a small amount of icing color to one portion of batter. Add increasing amounts of color to each additional portion of batter to create shades of increasingly darker rose. Fill pans with batter.
Bake 17-19 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on rack; remove and cool completely. Wash and dry pans completely. Bake remaining batter as directed above.
To decorate, stack layers on cake board or serving platter, filling between layers with marshmallow icing. Spoon ice cake; press icing decorations around cake into icing.
Homemade Marshmallow Icing3 tablespoons Meringue Powder1/2 cup cold water2 cups granulated sugar1/3 cup water1/4 cup light corn syrup
In large bowl, whip meringue powder and 1/2 cup cold water with electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
In medium saucepan, bring sugar, 1/3 cup water and corn syrup to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Stir constantly while sugar boils rapidly for 4 minutes. With mixer on high speed, slowly pour syrup down the side of the bowl into meringue, being careful not to let syrup hit the whip or meringue mixture. Continue beating on high speed for 4 minutes. Use immediately to fill and ice cake.
Makes about 16 servings.

Philly delegation travels to Puerto Rico to celebrate the release of Carlos Alberto Torres
On July 26th, Carlos Alberto Torres was released from federal prison in Illinois after serving 30 years for his participation in the Puerto Rican independence movement. Charged with "seditious conspiracy" for his participation in the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), a clandestine independence organization that began in 1974, Carlos has dedicated his life to the liberation of Puerto Rico from the colonial rule of the United States. That dedication, from his days as a community organizer in Chicago's Puerto Rican community to his time underground and his three decades in prison, made him a symbol of Puerto Rican pride and heroism, both on the island and in the United States.
Community radio in West Philly
an interview with Renee McBride-Williams, interim station manager
What is WPEB?
WPEB stands for West Philadelphia Educational Broadcasting. It's a community radio station and its intention is to educate and to bridge the voices of West Philadelphia, so that we have a clearer understanding of people's specific purpose and help to represent their voice and their concerns. Also, we're open for volunteerism—people to come in and work with one another, and hopefully we can achieve a greater understanding of the place we live in and the people around us.
Cops take South Street
On the night of July 10th, a few of us from defenestrator hung out at Tattooed Mom's, tossing back beers and making plans for insurrection, like we usually do. It was a good time. When we left the bar around midnight, however, we stumbled onto a chaotic scene on South Street that dissolved our good spirits. Groups of black youth were walking very quickly westward. There was a lot of shouting. There was almost no car traffic. We saw the rows of cops marching toward us. They were shutting down South Street.
Over Our Dead Bodies: Dying Homeless People with AIDS on the Streets of Philadelphia
by Sam Sitrin and members of ACT UP
ACT UP Philadelphia (AIDS COALTION TO UNLEASH POWER), the AIDS activist group, is inciting action in response to the City of Philadelphia having the worst record for housing sick people with AIDS in the continental United States. The only cities that are part of the United States with more people homeless with AIDS are in Puerto Rico and Guam.
Philadelphia radical history
The first labor party in the United States was formed in Philadelphia in 1828. Called the "Working Men's Party," the short-lived party supported skilled artisans and craftsmen in challenging their master. They called for a 10-hour workday, free public education, and the abolition of debtor prisons. The party formed in New York as well in 1829, although factional disputes lead to its dissolution in 1833.
Electric rates to increase as much as 20 percent
Thanks to a 1996 deregulation of electric companies in Pennsylvania, we all will soon pay at least 10% more on electric bills starting in January. PECO has made an offer with their Early Phase-in Program: we can start paying more now. Aren't they generous? As the matter stands, it seems that the rate increase is a done deal. However, that may not be so.
Independent union expands horizons
The Philadelphia security guards that defied company pressure and formed their own independent union last year are now pushing to grow further. In late August guards working for the Scotland Yard security company said they filed a petition to vote on union representation with the Philadelphia Security Officers Union (PSOU).

Marilyn Buck: ¡Presente!
For nearly 30 long, tortuous years, Marilyn Buck was a political prisoner of the state, a captive in the federal prison system for her role in the liberation of former Black Panther, Assata Shakur.

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Quinoa and Kale are a great Autumn side dish, stuffed full of flavor!
This post brought to you by P.F. Chang's. All opinions are 100% mine.
Autumn is my favorite foodie season. I'm a fan of nearly all the foods the season has to offer and with that, I have started to enjoy cooking seasonally too. I didn't always pay attention to such things, but now that I do, I find that it helps me to enjoy the season even more.
With my attention now drawn to seasonal offerings, I'm also happy when I see that a restaurant has adapted or changed their menu to reflect the change in season. When you enjoy Autumn as much as I do, it makes for a great meal when I can choose items that reflect the season.
One such restaurant that is highlighting fall on their menu is P.F. Chang's. Right now they have a Fall Seasonal Menu that looks amazing. It has many items that I would like to try, but one that particularly caught my eye was the Harvest Vegetable Quinoa "Fried Rice".
Of course, the Pumpkin Dessert Wontons are just my style too.
To further celebrate fall, P.F. Chang's is also holding a fun recipe contest called The Goodness of Fall Contest.
To enter, just create your own dish using at least 3 of the seasonal ingredients on the Fall Seasonal Menu, which are: Flank Steak, Butternut Squash, Corn, Brussels Sprouts, Red Quinoa, Kale, Candied Walnuts, Chinese Broccoli, Asian Mushrooms, Green Apples. Daikon Sprouts, Prawns, Fresno Peppers and Scallions. Then, enter your recipe in The Goodness of Fall Contest for a chance to win a $50 daily P.F. Chang's gift card. There will also be a grand prize winner who will win a two-night Napa Valley Getaway in Spring of 2014.
I've created my seasonal dish for the contest — I made these Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Quinoa and Kale, which I'm going to share with you today. It uses 3 of the P.F. Chang's seasonal ingredients: Red Quinoa, Kale, and Candied Walnuts.
It starts with two sweet potatoes that you wash well and bake in the oven until tender. The potatoes are cut in half length-wise and the pulp is scooped out and placed in a bowl. The skins are set aside for later.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, you will cook your quinoa. You will also saute your kale, until it is wilted and just beginning to brown or dry out on the edges.
The sweet potato pulp is mashed up and mixed with a bit of butter, 1/2 cup cooked red quinoa, the kale, 1/4 cup chopped candied walnuts, and some blue cheese crumbles. Finally, it's seasoned to taste with salt.
All of this is placed back into the sweet potato skins, and they are topped with a bit more walnuts and blue cheese crumbles. Then they are baked in the oven until hot and lightly browned.
Here's the full recipe, ready for you to print or save to your ZipList:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups chopped kale (stems removed), well packed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup cooked red quinoa
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped candied walnuts, plus more for garnish
- 2-3 ounces blue cheese crumbles, divided
- Salt, to taste
- Wash sweet potatoes well, pierce skin several times with the tines of a fork or the tip of a knife (keep cuts very small). Baked on a foil-lined baking sheet in a 400 degree F oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in skillet and cook kale until wilted and edges are just beginning to brown or dry out. Remove from heat.
- When sweet potatoes are tender, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out sweet potato flesh from skins and place in a bowl - set skins aside, you will be refilling them later.
- Mash the sweet potato that is in the bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add butter, stirring until melted and combined. Gently stir in the kale and quinoa. When ingredients are combine, stir in the walnuts and about 2 ounces of blue cheese crumbles. Season to taste with salt.
- Refill potato skins with mixture. Garnish with a sprinkle of candied walnuts and blue cheese crumbles. Return to oven and bake until sweet potatoes are hot and top is beginning to brown.
--To make 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, cook 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa according to package instructions.
I'm sure all this is making you very hungry, so I encourage you to hurry in to P.F. Chang's to experience the Fall Seasonal Menu. After you submit your recipe for the contest, you'll also be happy to see that they have a printable $10 off $40 special offer. Don't miss it!

A few short months after the Olympics are over, the International Ice Hockey Federation begins its World Champion tournament this Friday in Minsk, Belarus. Two Columbus Blue Jackets players will make the trip to Eastern Europe to represent team Russia: Sergei Bobrovsky and Artem Anisimov.
Both Bobrovsky and Anisimov represented team Russia in the Olympics in February, and will rejoin seven other Russian Olympic players, including Alexander Ovechkin, in Belarus for another world hockey tournament. It's no secret the Russians were disappointed in their performance in the Olympics, so it comes as no real surprise that they only kept seven players from the Olympic roster on the team for this tournament. As of now, anyway, the Jackets have two players out of just seven that were kept on the roster. This could change, though, because as more NHL teams get eliminated from the NHL Playoffs more players will be eligible to join their IIHF teams.
Bobrovsky will be joined by fellow goaltenders Andrei Vasilevsky, who played in Russia this past season, but will join the Syracuse Crunch (AHL) next season, and Anton Khudobin of the Carolina Hurricanes. Khdobin was 36-35-11 this season, with a save percentage of .926 and a goals against average of 2.3. Bobrovsky was 43-32-7 this season, with a .923 save percentage and 2.38 goals against average. At this point in time it looks like Bobrovsky will be the favored starting goaltender, but that could change as the Russians have two solid goalies on the roster.
Also, in case you were wondering, here are some Team Russia fun facts: of the 26 men on Russia's current roster, 15 of them have last names ending in -ov, and 20 have last names ending in a v. And three of the ones whose names don't end in a v are the goalies. Ovechkin is one of only 3 Russian skaters whose last name doesn't end in a v. Every one of the defensemen has a last name that ends in a v. Too bad Nikitin didn't make the cut this time.
Anyway, it's a good sign two of the eight NHL players that will be representing Russia are from the Jackets lineup. Hopefully Bobrovsky will be able to secure the start in net this time, and hopefully both he and Anisimov will give a stellar performance on the world stage.

Red Hat has bought itself a Christmas present - privately held ManageIQ.
It's paying $104 million in folding money for the pleasure of what appears to be a made-to-measure glove. The two seem to be a perfect fit. The deal might close by the end of the year.
Red Hat approached the six-year-old UK-based start-up around September when ManageIQ, already a Red Hat partner, was starting to look around for more money to finance a deeper plunge into the channel.
ManageIO says it's "channel-ready" now and eager to get out there and mix it up.
It brings Red Hat the real-time cloud management and automation it lacks. It's in the center of Red Hat's three hot buttons: Red Hat's KVM Enterprise Virtualization, CloudForms, Red Hat's hybrid IaaS solution, and OpenStack. It's got a hybrid cloud bias, which should suit Red Hat to a "T," since it's bet the farm on hybrid. And it says it can set up its tent in an enterprise and help coax the user off Red Hat's hereditary enemy VMware and on to Red Hat's cheaper alternative.
It can also, by the way, handle Amazon Web Services and Microsoft.
ManageIQ's co-founders CEO Albion Fitzgerald and chief product officer Joe Fitzgerald say they feel at home in Red Hat's culture and mean to stay there. The company will be handled at least initially as a free-standing subsidiary and all its distributed people representing, say, less than 100 folks will become Red Hat employees.
ManageIO can enable organizations to deploy, manage and optimize private clouds, virtualized infrastructures and virtual desktops.
It offers "unified by design" single-pane of glass solutions - built on it Adaptive Management Platform - that are supposed to be quick-to-deploy and easy-to-use, reducing the cost and complexity of enterprise clouds.
The stuff tightly couples provisioning with configuration, resource and workload automation.
It can provide integrated lifecycle management of activities such as server and storage provisioning, workload optimization, policy-based compliance, chargeback, virtual machine lifecycle management, discovery and control, and analytics across heterogeneous private clouds and virtualized datacenters. It's all scalable.
Red Hat said the acquisition would have no material impact on its fiscal year ending February 28. It expects operating expenses will increase by approximately $2 million a quarter and stock-based compensation and amortization expenses will increase by an equal amount.
The traditional management outfits reportedly can't do what ManageIQ can do. Legacy stuff ain't cloud-worthy. The acquisition, whose founders sold Novadigm to HP back in 2004, claims Fortune 1000 clients such as Pitney Bowes.
Supported integrations include ServiceNow, CA, Microsoft Systems Center, BMC, HP, F5 and NetApp, as well as RESTful and SOAP-based management Web Services.
Red Hat said "ManageIQ positions us deeper in the cloud management market which analysts estimate will be a $3 billion market by 2016."
Concomitant with the ManageIQ announcement, Red Hat released its fiscal Q3 numbers.
Revenue in the November quarter rose 18% to $343.6 million for an EPS of 29 cents. Analysts were modeling 29 cents on $338 million. Billings were $378 million, above the $372 million consensus.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Cooperation with the Digital Archive Center for Music (DACM), Taipei
Recently, audiovisual collection came under increased threat by the unavailability of replay machines and their spare parts, aggravated by the rapid disappearance of knowledge and skills to professionally use and maintain such equipment. In response to this dangerous development, the National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, Taiwan, is establishing a regional competence center, modelled after the Phonogrammarchiv, with a focus on ethnomusicological materials. In its initial phase, the project concentrates on audio preservation. It was started last May with a local assessment in Taipei by Dietrich Schüller as a basis for further planning.
This was followed by a workshop, 7-18 July, in the Phonogrammarchiv, attended Professor Chun-zen Huang, the Director of DAC, with a team of four technicians and archivists. Directed by Nadja Wallaszkovits the Standards of the IASA Technical Committee have been discussed in principle as well as "hands-on", exemplified by the archive's collections, its equipment and its concrete workflows. Emphasis has been on source-critical signal extraction, alignment and maintenance of equipment, creation of preservation metadata, and the discussion of different data base structure.
Next step to follow is a visit of Nadja Wallaszkovits in Taipei in autumn 2014, aiming at consolidating local installations and the workflow. In its further development, the expansion into video is under consideration. Also, interest was expressed by the Conservatory of Music in Beijing to join in to form a trilateral partnership.

25 Years of the "Eternal Archive" – Audiovisual Archives Changing their Preservation Paradigm
AES Award for Dietrich Schüller
25 years ago, on the occasion of its 90th anniversary (on 27 April), the Phonogrammarchiv hosted the Second UNESCO Consultation of Users and Manufacturers of Technical Equipment for Audio, Film and Television Archives in Vienna (4–7 May 1989). This international group of archivists, technicians and representatives of the manufacturers of recording equipment and storage media was founded in 1987 under the umbrella of UNESCO to monitor the rapid development of digital recording systems. Its aim was to raise a voice for archival concerns, specifically the long-term accessibility of digital documents. Physically stable carriers were not in sight, and ever shorter commercial lifetimes of formats would have made the future availability of replay equipment unrealistic. In view of this scenario, the Vienna Meeting discussed for the first time the continuous digital lossless migration of contents to replace the old paradigm of preserving the original carrier and its replay equipment. For utmost efficiency, migration procedures should be automated.
Despite concerns of traditionally-minded archivists, this principle of "eternal" content migration was swiftly adopted, notably in Europe, where public broadcasters took the lead. The Phonogrammarchiv contributed to the standardisation of processes, specifically to the optimisation of signal extraction from original carriers, which is the scientific precondition for a methodologically impeccable migration principle.
On the occasion of this anniversary, Dietrich Schüller, former director of the Phonogrammarchiv and active supporter of the migration principle, was honoured with a Fellowship Award from the Audio Engineering Society (AES) at its 136th Convention in Berlin (26–29 April). He was also nominated Distinguished Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecturer of the Berlin Convention, delivering a paper entitled Preserving our sound recordings — 25 years since everything changed

New Publication within the Series "Mechanical Music":
Vol. 8:
Musik um 1600
Die Automaten in der Kunstkammer des Kunsthistorischen Museums
Editor: Helmut Kowar. Editorial Assistance: Gerda Lechleitner.
The "Kunstkammer" holds five automata (four table automata and one art cabinet) with inbuilt organ works: the trumpeter Automaton (1582), the imperial ship (1585), the Bacchus carriage (ca 1602-1606), the Walbaum cabinet (ca 1620/25) and the Minerva carriage (ca 1625-30). These objects have to be rated as one of the earliest musical automata and sounding sources existing. In the course of recent restoration works it was possible to recreate their musical output. Due to conservational reasons the music of the trumpeter automaton, the imperial ship and the Bacchus carriage had to be reconstructed. The realization took advantage of partly well-preserved musical information on the automata's program carriers (discs and wheels) and of the still functioning pipes and drums of the automata. Thus the reconstructions give the true and authentic sound of the historical performance. The status of the organ works of the Walbaum cabinet and the Minerva carriage allowed repair of their mechanics and playback of their music. Every automaton presents its scenery together with an appropriate music. The music is surprisingly complex and displays unique examples of a performance practice showing improvised passages. The sound recordings are accompanied by transcriptions of all musical pieces.

Lost Time
It has been over a year since I have posted anything here. Work, school, family, and life in general happens and when it gets to be too much, things like this blog get taken completely out of the picture for a while.
Now that life has calmed down, I am working on getting back to things I had to give up for a while. In regards to this blog, I intend to resume documenting my adventures in war gaming. This will include ideas for lists, my thoughts on tactics, painting progress, and am thinking about doing a few battle reports as well.
I am not going to commit to any sort of posting schedule,nbsp; but check back later for some long overdue new content.
Until then,
Picked Up Some Orks
I got an unsuspected bonus at the game store last weekend. The shop had placed an abandoned Ork army up for sale and was taking bids on it in the hope someone in the shop would take it before they listed it on eBay. Not having a a lot of extra cash (Christmas time and all), I offered $100 along with stating I would understand if they wanted to eBay it instead. Naturally, I was very surprised when they accepted my offer and handed me a damn near fully painted Ork army.
Here are pictures of the models separated out. I added my Black Reach Orks into the mix to see exactly what I had to work with. Those will be easily identifiable in the photos because of their complete lack of paint.
I think the most amazing thing about this lot of models is that all of the infantry models are metal except for the Shoota and Choppa Boyz. I cannot understand why someone would spend so much time and money building and painting this army to abandon it. Oh well, it worked out good for me. My preliminary math puts the army at close to 2000 points depending on options. Next step is to get some games in with them.
Fortifications and Alternating Terrain Placement
As I'm sure everyone is aware of by now, the 6th edition rule book has a section specifically detailing how to set up terrain on your game table prior to a match. Having used the method several times, I can say that it works good save one thing.
The problem?
It is too easy to game the method and screw over players deploying fortifications.
There, I said it. The system is broken. "How" you might ask? Picture this: you take an Aegis Defense Line with a Quad-gun. Great choice, right? I think so. Now, as per the rule book, you place the defense line prior to any terrain being placed. Now, comes the fun part, terrain placement.
What is the first piece your opponent places? A large, line of sight blocking piece directly in front of your Quad-gun.
Is it a dick move? Yes.
Against the rules? No.
But! Do not despair, for I have a solution. A very simple modification to the table setup order is all that is needed: place terrain and then place fortifications.
Admittedly, this is a very simple solution, but that is all that is needed. It completely eliminates the issue at hand and, as a bonus, helps "forge a narrative".
That's what this whole edition is about, right? Everywhere you look in the 6th edition rule book it talks about forging a narrative. How much more narrative can you get than a commander surveying the field of battle prior to constructing his battlements, choosing the location based on the lay of the land.
I sure as hell know that hills, trees, and ruins don't magically appear after you build a Fortress of Redemption.
First Purifier Squad Finished
Man, it's been a while since my last post. I haven't been idle though. I have spent the time since my last post refining my skills as a player, (slowly) painting some models up, and digesting all of the changes 6th edition brought. Now that summertime distractions are over, I plan to get beck into the swing of things here on the blog.
Now, I am admittedly a slow painter, so even though I have been playing 40k for almost two years, the vast majority of my models remain unpainted. That said, I have recently finished painting my first squad of Purifiers for my Grey Knight army. To celebrate, here are some pictures.
Overall, I a pleased with how they turned out. I didn't like the white helms and pauldrons that Purifiers are supposed to have, so I opted for white helmet crests instead. I am particularly happy with the basing. I think the stone tile look I was going for turned out rather well.
Thoughts, comments, and suggestions are always appreciated.
First Outing with the Knights
I know it happened a week ago, but April 7th was marked the first time I used my Grey Knight army. The format was a three game, 1850 point tournament with no unique units allowed. I took the following list:
- Librarian with several powers
- Strike squad with 2 Psycannons in Rhino
- Strike squad with 2 Psycannons in Rhino
- Terminator squad with 2 Psycannons
- Dreadnought with 2 Twin-linked Autocannons and Psybolt ammo
- Dreadnought with 2 Twin-linked Autocannons and Psybolt ammo
- Dreadknight with Personal Teleporter, Heavy Incinirator, and Daemon Hammer
I was impressed with the how the army did. It is not a lot of bodies on the table, but the ones I had were effective. I had the following match-ups:
- Space Marines - First round was an annihilation game. This game was fast and brutal. My Knights were tearing through this army like crazy. I tabled my opponent by turn 4, scoring me a solid victory.
- Necrons - Second round was base grab. This was a odd game to say the least. My opponent was running a list packed with Night Sythes and Doom Sythes. I took out all 9 ofmhismvehicles, leaving him with several 5 man Warrior squads to walk on. This should have been a win for me, but I spread myself out to much killing his vehicles that he managed to push me off his base and claim a tie.
- Imperial Guard - Third round was an objective game with three objectives. I am just going to admit that this game was a loss for me from about turn 2. I simply did not have enou long range to take out significant portions of my opponents army. I almost tied the game, but on the last turn he managed to take out the last of my Terminators with a Plasma squad, giving him 2 objectives to my 1.
As far as the list goes, I think it was solid. I am going to chalk the tie and the loss up to my own mistakes. Looking back, I can easily see what I could have done better. The only game I feel was stacked against me was the third one. My list was just not made to handle me meched up Guard.
Working Hard
The time has come for me to finally field my Grey Knight army. The upcoming local tournament on April 7th calls for an 1850 list with the stipulation that no named characters can be used. As effective as my Crimson Fists were last time a tournament had that stipulation, I think a Grey Knight list could do just as good, if not better.
To that end, I am looking at a list that uses two Strike squads in Rhinos, two Psyfleman Dreadnoughts, a Terminator squad, and a Vindicare Assassin. I am still up in the aid on whether to use a Grand Master or Librarian for an HQ. Both have their uses, but I'm not sure which will work better for this list. Also, there are still some point left over that I'm not sure how to spend yet.
Of course, a list is only useful if I have the models to field it. I have had several boxes of Grey Knight sprues for months now, but have been focused on expanding and painting my Crimson Fists force. Now that I have a plan, that has to change. That is why I am focusing hard and spending what little free time I have putting together models. As of last night, I have one Strike squad completed and the second one lacks only the shoulder pads and helmets. I am confident that the rest of the models will be finished in time. I'll be sure to post a finalized list along with a few pictures prior to the tournament.
Tournament 3/3/12 – Results
Man, this tournament was not kind to me. Don't get me wrong, I fared decently, coming out right in the middle of the rankings, but each game was brutal and my two wins could be described as lucky at best. With only 750 point armies, the tournament format was changed up some. We played a total of five, one hour games played on 4 x 4 tables. In the end, my record was 2-1-2. I detailed my list in the last post, so I won't repeat it here.
Game one had me pitted against a Grey Knight list with ten Terminators and two Dreadnoughts. I can confidently say that I lost this game on turn one. My opponent went first, and with his good rolls and my poor ones half of my army was dead before I even had a chance to do anything. Needless to say, it was all downhill from there.
Game two was against and Imperial Guard list featuring four Vendettas and two Veteran squads. This was a close match the entire game, featuring both mine and my opponent's inability to kill anything. The game ended on turn six, by which we had both managed to score two kill points.
Game three found me attempting to exterminate a Tyranid army. by the end of the hour, my opponent was three Genestealers away from being tabled. I managed to keep part of my Tactical squad alive, letting me hold one objective, just enough to bag a win.
For game four, I was tasked with putting a stop to the Tau's greater good. Nothing special happened this game. I didn't rack up many kills, but I did manage to get my Terminators to my opponent's base and keep his units away from mine, snagging me my second win for the day.
Game five had me back up against Grey Knights, though it was a henchman based army this time. This was a frustrating game because I simply had no luck popping my opponent's Chimeras. In the end, he won with three kill points to my two.
Even though I didn't do well. I had a ton of fun. One thing I will say is that I don't think Vanilla Marines are a good choice for such small games. Let's face it, the troop choices are lackluster and with such a point crunch it is hard to fit in a decent mix of anything else. No worries though, next month's tournament is back up to my preferred point levels; 1850 with no named characters.
750 Crimson Fists List
There is a tournament scheduled for today (March 3rd) at the local game store. It is a little odd though because it is only 750 points. For me, this is a challenging point level to build a list for. With the compulsory one HQ and two troops, over half of the points are already spent. That leaves little room for other units.
A large part of the challenge is knowing that the low point limit does not mean hard to kill units won't be in some lists. I fully expect to see several lists that include Land Raiders and at least one with some monstrous creatures. Knowing this, I have to make sure I still have a way to handle these type of threats.
With these points in mind, I have come up with the following list. I'm not sure just how effective it will be, but I should be able to handle anything thrown at me.
- Librarian - 140 - Terminator Armor, Storm Shield, Gate of Infinity, Vortex of Doom
- Troops
- Tactical Squad - 235 - Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Rhino, Power Fist on Seargeant
- Scout Squad - 135 - Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher, Telion
- Elites
- Terminator Assaut Squad - 240 - 2 Lightning Claws, 4 Thunder Hammer / Storm Shield
Overall, I think this list will do decent. My biggest concern is the foot-slogging Terminators. With Gate of Infinity though, I should be able to get them into effective range early game. I'll be sure to post later how I did.
Introducing My Armies
Currently, I have two armies, though only one is built up to a playable level yet: Crimson Fists and Grey Knights.
My first, current, and primary army is my Crimson Fists. Of course, to be more specific it is a Codex Marines chapter being ran as Crimson Fists. Like so many others, I opted to start my foray into Warhammer 40k with a vanilla marine army. After playing several casual games and collecting enough models to field close to 2000 points, I decided it was time to retire my generic Captain from the Black Reach box set and specialize my force.
First, I must admit that my decision was not motivated by game mechanics alone. There are several aspects of the Crimson Fists that appeal to me. Combine that with the benefits that Pedro gives in game, and I was sold. Here is a basic rundown of my reasons:
- Fluff - I just love the fluff behind these guys. Noble sons of Dorn, honorable to a fault, and steadfast in the face of all odds.
- Colors - I know this may seem odd, but when you consider how much time will be spent painting an army and how much more time will be spent looking at the models on the tabletop, it only makes sense to pick a color scheme I like.
- Rynn's World - I mean come on, who could read this book and not fall in love with these guys.
- Sternguard Squads - In my own humble opinion, Sternguard Veterans are one the best units in Codex Marines, hands down. Making them a scoring unit only improves them.
- +1 Attack Bubble - I don't care what unit is involved, this buff to combat is awesome.
- Stubborn - Useful in some situations, but still a good bonus for any list.
I have had a ton of fun with this army so far. Thanks to the flexibility built into the codex, I am able to try out so many different builds and tactics. Of course, the downside to this is the fact that I keep acquiring new models for the army faster than I can paint them. So far, I would say I have almost half of the army painted. Luckily, my local game store does not require models to be painted in order to participate in tournaments. Anyway, enough about Crimson Fists and on to my fledgling Grey Knights army.
Grey Knights mesh well with how I like to play 40k: powerful and expensive units that promote an elite task force style of play. Of course, this means I am drawn towards "pure" Grey Knight builds. As powerful as the are, I am not a fan of henchman based lists.
As much as I am drawn towards them, my Grey Knights are an army that continues to elude me. I mass purchased the models to make both a Draigo-wing and a Purifier list about six months ago, yet I have only managed to fully assemble two boxes of models so far. The only game I have managed to play with the army was done with almost full proxies. The problem is my Crimson Fists.
Since I am continuously expanding my Crimson Fist army and desperately trying to catch up painting it, I have had very little time to spend building my Grey Knights. But, I am patient and know that I will eventually get them built, unless I get distracted by another army in the meantime...
MathHammer: Calculating the Effectiveness of Shooting
What does it mean to calculate the effectiveness of shooting? It simply means to calculate how many unsaved wounds a round of shooting will statistically cause. This may seem complex at first, but if we break it down into three basic steps it becomes very simple.
A small bit of preliminary explanation if required first. The math behind this is based on the number of sides on the die that will mean a success. For example, if your unit is Ballistic skill 3, then you need a 4 or better to score a hit, meaning that 3 sides of the die will result in a success.
Step 1
First, calculate how many successful hits your unit will score. The formula is as follows:
, where is the number of shots fired and is the number of possible rolls resulting in a success. Remember the explanation above. IF a 3 or better would result in a success, then you would substitute a 4 for . The answer, , is the number of successful hits.
Step 2
Next, we will calculate how many of your units successful hits will cause a wound. The formula for that is as follows:
, where is the number of hits (from step one) and is the number of possible rolls resulting in a success. Just like above, if you need a 4 of better to wound, then you would substitute a 3 for . The answer, , is the number of wounds caused.
Step 3
Last, we will calculate how many wounds will make it through your opponent's saves. The formula for that is:
, where is the number of wounds caused (from step two) and is the number of possible rolls resulting in a success. To figure out what number to use for , count how many possible rolls will result in your opponent failing his armor save. An armor save of 3+ means you would use 2 for . The answer, , is the number of un-saved wounds the opposing unit takes.
Putting It All Together
Now that we understand the three basic formulas, we can combine them together and to create one formula (using the same variable as above):
This simplifies into:
A Practical Example
Let's calculate how many Marines a squad of 20 Necron Warriors would kill with rapid-fire Gauss in one round of shooting. To do this we need to know four numbers:
- D= 40 (the number of shots fired)
- B = 4 (how many sides of the dice will result in a hit)
- S = 3 (how many sides of the dice will result in a wound)
- A = 2 (how many sides of the dice will result in a failed save)
Now plug those numbers in the formula above:
The answer tells us that, statistically, 4.44 Marines will die.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull [1973]
There isn't a lot of middle ground when it comes to Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which comes to DVD in 2007, 34 years after it was released theatrically, 15 years after it appeared in the VHS format, and nearly 40 years after the first publication of Richard Bach's novella. One person's poetic is another's pretentious; while many find inspiration and enlightenment in its allegorical message of self-realization and fulfillment, many others are repelled by its sophomoric, superficial moralizing. There is, however, one aspect of director Hall Bartlett's film that pretty much everyone agrees on: it's beautifully photographed, and richly deserving of its 1974 Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography, with shot after breathtaking shot of the titular bird and his flock on the wing (and done without CGI or other modern technological trickery, other than the use of some radio-controlled models). Still, even an ornithologist would grow weary of endless shots of seagulls soaring and swooping, and when they start to talk, well, that's where the battle lines are drawn. James Franciscus, speaking in a hoarse, urgent whisper, supplies the voice of Jonathan, a young gull obsessed with flying higher, faster, and "without limits." This doesn't sit too well with the conformist stiffs who run the show, and the rebellious Jonathan finds himself an outcast at least until he hooks up with some other, more evolved birds, who show him an existentially higher place and encourage him to return to his flock (who have names like Kirk Maynard, Judy Lee, and Charles-Roland) and share his profound life lessons with the others. If all of that sounds a bit sententious, that's because it is; while there's no arguing with the film's positive gist (basically, that it's good to be yourself and take a few risks), it's hammered home with all the subtlety of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Neil Diamond's music doesn't help, either, as the songwriter (with collaborator Lee Holdridge) delivers some of the most cloying songs of his career, somehow managing to sound sentimental and grandiose at the same time. In the end, perhaps the best solution is to watch Jonathan Livingston Seagull with the sound off. --Sam Graham

How Failure Forced Me to Focus on My Faith
- Thursday, February 27, 2014
The worst feeling crept up on me as I watched the curtains close for the intermission of a Lion King production in Australia. The pain was tangible, as if I had been stabbed and I couldn't catch my breath.
Something terrible just happened to my business.
I don't know how I knew it, but I did. It was a sinking feeling that something was going on with my business partner, Shane (name has been changed).
Up until that point, I had been enjoying the most remarkable vacation of my life with my wife, Jeannine, celebrating her one-year recovery from breast cancer. We had no idea that our toughest financial trial would follow so quickly on the heels of our hardest health trial.
I only had 15 minutes before Lion King started again, so I called up Shane in St. Louis.
No answer. Where could he be?
Shane and I had just spent the last 15 months developing the business plan and marketing for a product we were both excited about, an oak-aged pure cane cola called Shane Baril. We had visited top executives at Coca Cola who loved the concept. Impressive accomplishments backed up our work - Shane as one of the "Top 100 Brand" executives in the U.S., and myself as a twice-recognized Inc. 500 entrepreneur.
We finally had the bottle made, the cola formulated, the offering documents prepared, and were ready for an investor meeting. A handmade miniature wooden delivery truck went to prospective investors promising delivery would begin soon. A room at the Ritz Carlton awaited our big presentation, coming up in just two weeks.
Our cola concept was almost reality. It could not have been going better.
What happened next would defy all logic.
When I finally got a hold of my business partner, he told me he had abandoned our business to take a high-profile job in New York.
"I can't even tell you why I did it," Shane said when he called me back. "I guess I'm not a small business person."
I was shocked. "Why did you do this?" I asked.
"I can't tell you," he said. "I don't know myself well enough to even know why I did."
I didn't know what to say. Shane and I had worked together almost every day for more than a year, had prayed continually, laughed often, and had become best friends as couples. But when he decided to take that New York job, he didn't even call me. There was no way to face the investors after Shane left. How could they support something my own business partner hadn't believed in? The entire cola concept collapsed.
I had been so convinced that this new company would launch that I hadn't pursued new business for my agency in over a year. It failed too!
Once again, Jeannine and I sought God as never before. We had no idea that the recovery from the business loss would be as prolonged and as severe as it was. During my wife's battle with breast cancer, we learned what it meant to tackle adversity as a couple. There were sweet times where we came together as never before in love, faith, and resolve. So it was with this trial as well.
The business drought lasted for years. During this time we downsized our home, moved to the country, started a church, and learned some powerful life lessons on dealing with this kind of failure.
I would like to share those lessons with you. This is what we learned.
Tips for Failing Forward
1. Know who you are: Never let your ego get so close to your career that your identity depends on your success. Who you are is not what you do. Don't believe your doubts. Believe your beliefs! "For this reason I was born...that I should bear witness to the truth" (John 18:37).

"Top priority: creating a risk-aware culture"
Organizational silos, decentralization of resources and decision-making, inadequate forecasting, and lack of transparent reporting were cited as major barriers to effective enterprise-wide risk management. The need to create a risk-aware culture throughout the institution emerged as a top priority in the study – three-quarters of all respondents cited its vital importance – as banks struggle to develop a consolidated view of risk across business units and various risk dimensions.
"In light of recent events, there was strong agreement that managing risk effectively requires both top-down oversight and bottom-up involvement from front-line risk takers," says Bill Schlich, leader of EY's Global Banking & Capital Markets practice. "In order to create and instill a culture of risk awareness within banks, risk management must become everyone's business."
To do that, respondents agreed that the discussion of risk must be elevated to the strategic level with much closer collaboration across functions, business units and risk classes. Eighty-six percent of those surveyed indicated that their banks are implementing a variety of projects designed to provide a more comprehensive approach to risk. However, only 16 percent said they have a well-defined, shared vision of what it would look like.
Respondents consistently cited the need for better information flow and reporting in the area of risk. Poor data quality, gaps in data flow, and the sheer volume of data are just a few challenges banks face. Sixty-seven percent of executives indicated that they were under way with the process of implementing consolidated risk reporting across their organizations but only 9% felt they have truly been able to aggregate data across the enterprise. Survey participants agreed greater transparency, faster delivery and better synthesis of data must be top priorities.

edited by Michael Y. Hwang, M.D., and Paul C. Bermanzohn, M.D.; Washington, D.C., American Psychiatric Press, Inc., 2001, 238 pages, $46
Most physicians have been taught that the simplest explanation is generally the right one, a variant of Occam's razor. A single diagnosis may explain a host of disparate symptoms and in turn lead to the prescription of a single treatment. The diagnosis of schizophrenia illustrates this principle well: the disorder can present in a variety of ways, often with symptoms of anxiety and mood dysregulation in addition to its core psychotic symptoms. In the past clinicians were taught that monotherapy with an antipsychotic agent was the preferred approach to the treatment of schizophrenia and that the accessory symptoms would improve along with the primary psychotic symptoms.
Lately, however, the diagnostic and therapeutic parsimony of the past is being reconsidered. In the first chapter of Schizophrenia and Comorbid Conditions, the editors and their colleagues criticize what they call the hierarchical approach to the diagnosis of schizophrenia. They argue that this approach, formalized in DSM-III, in which a diagnosis of schizophrenia subsumes associated symptoms, may have resulted in an underappreciation of what they term "associated psychiatric syndromes" in schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia and Comorbid Conditions is part of the Clinical Practice series published by American Psychiatric Press, Inc. The volume editors' goal for the book is to "help practicing clinicians enhance their recognition and improve treatment for [the] large and difficult-to-treat group of schizophrenia patients" who have comorbid conditions. They are largely successful.
The first chapter's critique of the hierarchical approach to diagnosis of schizophrenia is followed by three chapters devoted to what the authors designate as the associated syndromes—depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and panic symptoms. Because depression in schizophrenia is the best studied of these syndromes, the chapter on this subject is the most satisfying, notably in its comprehensive review of the differential diagnosis of depression among persons with schizophrenia. The other chapters succeed in sensitizing the reader to the prevalence of panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms among patients with schizophrenia.
While the first half of the book flows logically, the second half is a bit more scattered. Chapters address medical and surgical illness, pregnancy, cognitive impairment, and aggression and violence. The volume ends with an excellent chapter on substance abuse in schizophrenia—certainly the most prevalent co-occurring disorder among persons with schizophrenia. I wondered why this subject was left for last and was not considered one of the associated psychiatric syndromes.
The reviews in this volume are comprehensive, relevant, and well written. There were some gaps, however. I would like to have seen more than the passing mention of HIV-AIDS in the chapter on medical and surgical illness and more specific guidelines to inform family planning in the chapter on pregnancy. These are both neglected areas in many settings. A chapter on schizophrenia and mental retardation-developmental disability also would have been helpful.
This volume makes it clear that it no longer makes sense to talk about "dual diagnosis" in the context of schizophrenia. Many different comorbid conditions can complicate the treatment and outcome of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and Comorbid Conditions provides a nice overview of a number of them and reminds us of their importance. For that reason, trainees and clinicians of all disciplines who work with patients who have schizophrenia will find this book worth reading.
