The shambling mound is a fictional plant-like creature in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Shambling mounds are also called shamblers, a name which lends itself to the eponymious magic spell.
Shambling mounds are intelligent, carnivorous plant creatures, though they appear to be rotting heaps of vegetation.
Shambling mounds are commonly found in temperate marshes.
Typical Physical CharacteristicsEdit
Shambling mounds are usually about six feet tall, with an eight foot girth, when they stand erect. Most weigh around 3,800 pounds. Their brains and sensory organs are located in their upper regions. In their natural environment, shambling mounds are almost invisible. They can move through water easily, and have been known to creep into camps in their range at night to attack. Stories tell of shambling mounds moving about in electrical storms without flinching from the frequent lightning strikes, even direct strikes.
Shambling mounds are solitary creatures, unless summoned via magic.
Creative originsEdit
The shambling mound first appeared in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual (1977). Some have noted the creature's resemblance to the comic characters Man-Thing and Swamp Thing, both of which were preceded by a similar comic character called the Heap.

Maxi-Lift Introduces New Series of Tiger-CC Elevator Buckets
Date Posted: February 15, 2013
Dallas, TXMaxi-Lift, the leading manufacturer of plastic elevator buckets, proudly announces the new series of Tiger-CC elevator buckets. Expanding on the enormous success of the Tiger-Tuff, the Tiger-CC has the design of the CC, with the toughness of the original Tiger-Tuff.
With thicker walls and corners, the Tiger-CC is the new standard in maximum duty elevator buckets.
The new Tiger-CC series has been expanded to 13 sizes. The Tiger-CC is available from a 12x8 up to a 28x10.
This largest size will carry up to 30,000 bushels per hour in a single row which is a huge breakthrough for high capacity bucket elevators.
In the past, bucket elevators had to use multiple rows to achieve larger capacities. Now, the new generation of high capacity bucket elevators can use fewer buckets in fewer rows to achieve a greater capacity.
In addition to a single row 30,000 bushel per hour elevator, the Tiger-CC series of buckets allows for a double row 60,000 bph elevator.
Other Tiger-CC arrangements allow for capacities of between 10,000 bph, and 75,000 bph.
Paul Phillips, President of Maxi-Lift, stated "Customers have been asking for single row 25,000 and 30,000 bph elevators, and now it is a reality. Using the Tiger-CC elevators buckets, our customers can reduce the number of rows needed to achieve these larger capacities."
"Large terminals and port facilities continue to demand high throughputs. We focused on meeting those needs by creating a product that could achieve the desired capacity, while keeping the actual elevator size to a minimum." says Bo Fisher, VP of Sales for North America.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/12/2012 (1714 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The wheels of justice appear to have screeched to a halt in the trial of a former East St. Paul police chief.
Seven months have passed since Crown and defence lawyers made their final arguments at the trial of Harry Bakema, who is accused of obstructing a high-profile investigation into a fatal car crash. Provincial court Judge Kelly Moar reserved his verdict in May, and gave no indication when his decision might be ready.
Bakema's case was back on the court docket earlier this month for another in a growing list of monthly remands. His lawyer, Hymie Weinstein, told the Free Press there's been no indication of when Bakema's fate will be decided.
"We knew it would probably take a while for his decision. There's a lot to consider," Weinstein said. Still, the delay is unusually long in a legal system not known for its speed.
Bakema has pleaded not guilty to perjury, obstruction of justice and breach of trust. Crown attorney Ashley Finlayson argued there is no doubt Bakema deliberately overlooked compelling evidence that suggested his former police colleague, Derek Harvey-Zenk, was drunk at the time of the deadly 2005 crash.
Crystal Taman, 40, a married mother of three, was killed after her car was rear-ended by Harvey-Zenk while she waited at a red light near Lagimodiere Boulevard and the Perimeter Highway. Harvey-Zenk, 38, was going home from a night of drinking with fellow officers. He pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of dangerous driving causing death and was given a conditional sentence.
The failure of East St. Paul police to properly document indications Harvey-Zenk was impaired is one reason alcohol-related charges were dropped. That issue was the primary focus of a 2008 public inquiry that led to Bakema's arrest and the collapse of the East St. Paul police service.
Robert Taman, Crystal's husband, said he doesn't understand why a judge would take this long to make a decision as the case has dragged on for months. He said the perjury trial is the last court case related to his wife's tragic accident and he would like to see it reach a conclusion.
"It's not going to have an impact on my life but it will bring closure to the whole ordeal," Taman said. "I don't think it should take this long."
Bakema's lawyer argued the Crown has failed to prove Bakema had any criminal intent. The lawyer suggested several former police officers who testified at the two-week trial were either mistaken or misrepresenting the truth about what happened. At worst, Bakema is guilty of making unintentional errors, he said.
"What was done was not done for any criminal intent," Weinstein said.
He also took issue with the testimony of several witnesses who painted an ugly picture of Bakema's role in the investigation.
Corrine Scott, a retired superintendent of the Winnipeg Police Service, told court Bakema called her from the crash scene, warning her an officer was involved.
"Harry was really focused on Derek Harvey-Zenk and not on the lady who lost her life. He was very concerned for Derek Harvey-Zenk's well-being," Scott testified. "Harry told me Derek had been drinking, he was at a party and smelled of liquor."
Winnipeg police patrol Sgt. Cecil Sveinson testified Bakema told him at the scene of the crash Harvey-Zenk was "pissed." Sveinson, who was Taman's cousin, went to the scene to perform a smoke ceremony for her. He said Bakema added they had to get Harvey-Zenk "out of there right away."
Jason Woychuk, a former East St. Paul police constable, told court a paramedic at the scene indicated Harvey-Zenk may have been intoxicated, but Bakema ordered him to keep those details out of his report.

Archbishop to dedicate John Paul II statue
Updated 8:21 am, Thursday, November 1, 2012
Photo: Kin Man Hui, SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS
A statue of the late Pope John Paul II will be dedicated by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia Siller today — All Saints Day — during the noon Mass at San Fernando Cathedral.
The archbishop will be back after a month in Rome huddling with Catholic hierarchs to discuss ways to spread the Catholic faith.
The pope's statue will be dedicated along with one of St. Toribio Romo González, the patron saint of immigrants, killed in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution for continuing to do public ministry despite a ban on religious expression.

Devizes accountant Andy Coombes had double Olympic medallist Mo Farrah in his sights as he ran the London Marathon yesterday.
The only problem was that Mr Coombes, 41, was going in one direction and Mo was about ten miles ahead going in the other.
He said: "He was coming back as I was still on the route out but the buzz went around the crowd and the cheers rippled across to our side. It was a fantastic day and I definitely want to do it again.
Mr Coombes, who was running to raise money for our Give Us A Chance appeal for Devizes Opportunity Centre, finished the course in 3hrs 27 mins and was delighted with the time.
Before the event he said he wanted to run in under four hours but admitted afterwards that always hoped to go close to three hours 30.
He said: "I am very pleased with my time. I hoped I could get under three and a half hours but I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself. But everything went according to plan and the crowd really helps you when you start to feel a bit tired.
"The last few miles were a bit tough but I managed to keep going."
He hopes to have raised around £2,000 for the appeal.

TOLEDO (AP) -- Some Ohio families will lose $50 a month in food stamp benefits next year, leaving food banks bracing for higher demand.
The cut won't apply to all 869,000 households receiving food stamps, but only to some homeowners and renters who have a "standard utility allowance" deducted when determining whether they are eligible for food stamps, The Blade reported.
Those families will see a cut in benefits because of how the government calculates utility expenses. A mild winter last year and lower natural gas prices led to a decrease in aid.
The thinking is that lower utility expenses meant families had more money for food.
Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services tried to stop the change but the appeal was denied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the food stamp program.
"This is a federal issue," said Joel Potts, executive director of the job and family services directors' association. "We just think it is going to be really hard on families and individuals. They will see significantly less money starting in January."
The state appealed the change because many families that will see a reduction don't even use natural gas to heat their homes and instead use fuel oil or propane and didn't see a cost savings, said Ben Johnson, a spokesman for the job and family services department.
Plus, many people still rely on food assistance at a time when the nation is coming out of the recession, he said.
"They are going to increase hunger among our most vulnerable -- working families, seniors, children, and persons with disabilities," said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks.
Some seniors or people with disabilities who have a low benefit amount could lose all their monthly assistance, she said.
Jack Frech, director of the Athens County Department of Job and Family Services in southeastern Ohio, said the reduction will cause hardship.
"Fifty dollars would be devastating," he said. "These are folks that have already fallen off the fiscal cliff."
The average food-stamp recipient receives $138 per person, per month, according to state statistics.
"It will put a strain on all organizations that provide emergency food. We're going to have to find alternatives. We can't pull food or money out of thin air," the Rev. Steve Anthony executive director of Toledo Area Ministries, which runs a program with 13 food pantries in the Toledo area.

SMWC President's contract extended
May 5th, 2014 | SMWC
By Dee Reed
Executive Director of College Relations
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) board of trustees voted at its May meeting to renew the contract of President Dottie King, Ph.D. keeping her at the helm for another three years. The unanimous board action signaled a strong and clear endorsement for King, who has been instrumental in leading and advancing the mission of the College.
The reappointment, announced by board co-chairman Susan Hamilton '66, '90 at its quarterly meeting, extends King's contract to 2017.
"Dr. King has clearly demonstrated effective leadership, challenged us in new ways and built upon the remarkable strengths of this institution," said Hamilton. "We anticipate a great future with her strong vision for the College and sincere commitment to its success."
During her tenure, the College advanced its ranking to the top five percent of Best Regional Colleges in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report. Under King's leadership, recent academic expansion highlights include restructuring the undergraduate core curriculum, developing nursing and online RN to BSN programs, adding new majors including criminology, environmental science, healthcare administration and renovating science laboratories.
President King led SMWC through an $11 million capital campaign to build a sports and recreation center. The facility, opening the fall of 2014, will enhance the college experience for students and provide multiple opportunities to collaborate with the local community through health and wellness initiatives and other programs.
In addition, King spearheaded the launch of new brand initiative focused on advancing the image and reputation of the College. The initiative, Aspire Higher, is a clear and distinctive message that's congruent with the College's mission and values and reflective of its vision.
Building on a tradition of boldness and excellence, King's administration has embarked on a strategic planning process to address educational challenges and provide a holistic learning experience for its students.
"I'm honored by the trust that the Board of Trustees continues to place in me to lead this extraordinary institution into the future," said King. "I am grateful for the opportunity to work with our remarkable administration, faculty, staff and students whose passion and dedication inspire me."

On Thursday morning, a small storm erupted in Ireland over an interview given by the president, Michael D. Higgins, to the FT's Dublin correspondent, Jamie Smyth.
President Higgins, who is 72 years old, a published poet and a former government minister, argued that EU leaders needed to rethink their "hegemonic" response to the crisis.
"There is a real problem in what was assumed to be a single hegemonic model… The unemployment profile in Greece is different from the unemployment profile in Ireland. You need a pluralism of approaches… We have 26m people unemployed… There are 112m at risk of poverty, a contraction in investment and falling demand."
Higgins' remarks were quite frank for someone whose role is largely ceremonial. Some members of the public commenting on the Irish Times website praised his candidness: "He may be small in physical stature, but he is not averse to standing up to the heavyweights of the EU", said one; another wrote: "THIS IS THE KIND OF PRESIDENT I HOPED FOR WHEN WE ELECTED MICHAEL D. HIGGINS!!!".
Not everyone was positive. "By speaking out on matters which don't concern his office, he is skirting dangerously close to creating a constitutional issue – and he does not have a mandate for that," said 'PaulFlynn'. When a Sinn Féin representative mentioned Higgins' remarks in the lower house of parliament (the Dáil) later on Thursday, the parliamentary speaker immediately warned: "Don't go there with regards to the President, we don't discuss the President in Dáil Éireann."

Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Monday urged people to vote for change to make India "shine".
Addressing a jampacked function of the Bharat Diamond Bourse -- the world's largest diamond exchange here, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Gujarat chief minister said "it is a matter of just eight months" for bringing a change in the country.
"After nine months, the country will emerge out of all the current challenges and difficulties and march forward to a new era," Modi said, hinting that he expects Lok Sabha polls on time.
Flanked by BJP deputy leader in Lok Sabha Gopinath Munde and ally Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Modi was given a tumultuous reception at the Mumbai airport and later at the BDB where he addressed the gathering.
Modi told the gathering that since the past nine years, the country is passing through an "eclipse" on all fronts under the United Progressive Alliance government at the centre.
"The government has not been able to keep the people with it... the people of the country are not ready to walk with the government," Modi said, reiterating confidently that the BJP would be voted to power.
Referring to his own status, Modi said that in the post-Independence era, no other political leader has been criticized or reviled or abused like him.
"Go to Google and take out a printout of all the things said against me... This auditorium will also fall short of space. But, despite this, the people have always supported me," Modi claimed amid huge applause.
Modi said that the UPA government lacks "vision" and has been making promises after promises but failed to fulfil them for the past so many years.
"The government has lost control over the administration. It seems to control only the agencies like CBI, Income Tax Department to target opposition leaders," he declared.
Modi, who was weighed in silver soon after his arrival, assured the IT department that he would not take it home.
"Rest easy... All the money from this silver would go to make the world's tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. It will be called the 'State of Unity' and will be double the height of Statue of Liberty outside New York harbour," he said.
Drawing comparisons with Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, Modi asserted that he hailed from the same state (and 'mitti') of Gujarat.
For the memorial, Modi said that from Oct 31, Sardar Patel's 138th birth anniversary, he would seek donations of a small piece of farm equipment from all farmers in the country and build the statue as a symbol of unity.

Wednesday news, notes
Mike Tomlin shook up his depth chart on Tuesday, and then proceeded to shake things up Wednesday on his offensive line.
With Mike Adams, Willie Colon and Max Starks all sitting out Wednesday, the Steelers moved Maurkice Pouncey to left guard, Ramon Foster to right tackle and Kelvin Beachum to left tackle.
Doug Legursky was at center, while rookie David DeCastro was next up at right guard.
But just because the Steelers made these moves on Wednesday does not mean that will be the starting line Sunday in Baltimore.
In fact, I highly doubt that it will be.
This is a shell game Tomlin is playing with the Ravens, hoping they will take their eye off the ball enough to allow the Steelers to come away with a win.
Chances are, when the Steelers line up Sunday, Starks will be at LT, Colon at LG, Pouncey at C, Foster at RG and Beachum at RT.
But if there's an injury during the game, particularly to Colon, Pouncey could make the move to guard.
And if Beachum is overmatched at RT making his first career start, Foster could move over.
But that is not the plan right now.
@ Ben Roethlisberger did some light throwing Wednesday as he was limited in practice. He's getting better, but I'd be surprised if he plays this weekend.
@ Antonio Brown and Troy Polamalu both looked good Wednesday, a big plus for the Steelers.
Doesn't make much sense to me, considering that Foster played well at RT when they tried him there a few months ago (Foster also played tackle in college, and has more of a tackle's body than Beachum at 6'6" 325 lbs.).

Does anyone remember, did he end up at G out of necessity? I didn't realize his size until I saw him up close from end zone seats. It's not so noticeable on tv, but up close, he's gotta be one of the biggest Gs in the league. And it's no wonder he's got some of the issues he's got blocking.
They were talking about this today on Sirius NFL radio.
Legursky was saying he was much better playing center.
They mentioned his short arms as a reason hes more suited for center.
On the other hand, wouldnt it make more sense if Colon can play, to put him back at RT, leave Ramon at RG with Pouncey at LG?

Did you know?Randlords has spectacular 360 degree views of the Johannesburg skyline.
One of Braamfontein's most iconic nightlife spots is Randlords, a rooftop bar and lounge, located on the 22nd floor of South Point Towers. Known for its exclusive corporate and private events, Randlords hosts public events too; visit their website for details.
Another Braamfontein icon, The Milner Park, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city. It is home to the second oldest pub in the city, Kitchener's Carvery Bar. It is also home to Great Dane, a popular new arrival on the Braamfontein nightlife scene, with floors paved in coins and opening hours that stretch into the early morning.
Other bars in Braamfontein include the S-Bar, a bottle-only student hangout with a small, affordable menu; The Lounge and The Grove Bar at Lamunu Hotel on De Korte Street; and Johannesburg's oldest bar, The Guildhall, which serves great Portuguese food and local beers.
For an evening meal, try Café de La Vie. Another fantastic Braamfontein restaurant is Narina Trogon. It's known for its seasonal, organic and free-range ingredients and has a cool, trendy interior, relaxed garden space and rooftop party venue.
If you're looking for more than an evening of eating, drinking and socialising, Braamfontein is home to the Johannesburg Theatre Complex and the Alexander Theatre, where you can watch local dance, drama and musical productions. There is also easy access to neighbouring Newtown's vibrant jazz clubs, bars and restaurants via the Nelson Mandela Bridge.
Historically, Braamfontein was Johannesburg's business hub but after the end of apartheid, the area began to deteriorate. A bold intervention by businesses working with the City of Johannesburg began a successful urban renewal project to revitalise this historic part of the city, with great success.
Its past may be part of what gives Braamfontein its unique charm, but it's an area with its eyes firmly on the future.

Pink and Blue Gender Reveal Party
In the past couple of years a new trend has emerged and it's called a gender reveal party. While the whole point of a baby shower is to gift mom-to-be with all the many things she'll need for her new bundle of joy, a gender reveal party is simply about the fun and celebration around the timeless question of whether baby is a boy, or a girl.
In the past couple of years a new trend has emerged and it's called a gender reveal party. While the whole point of a baby shower is to gift mom-to-be with all the many things she'll need for her new bundle of joy, a gender reveal party is simply about the fun and celebration around the timeless question of whether baby is a boy, or a girl.
Unlike a baby shower, a gender reveal party can be hosted each time a woman is pregnant and includes all the most important people in both baby's life and the parents. This means the gathering is a bit more intimate and a mix of men, women and children.
Since the idea behind a gender reveal party is still a bit new, it's important when planning one to consider a few tips. Once all of these pointers are in order, it's all downhill in terms of planning. Don't fuss over complicated or over-the-top décor and menu selections. Keep those simple and focus on the point of this party – having fun and celebrating a growing baby boy or girl at home.
Once you've got a date for your shindig, head to the doctor for a sonogram and get the official word – boy or girl? As the party host, if you're mom or dad, you can request that your doctor seal the answer in an envelope so you can learn with your party guests just what gender baby is. If you opt to go this route, ask a trusted friend or family member to be responsible for the reveal. If you want a particular mode of reveal – color filled cupcakes or balloon box explosion, more on that in a bit – than request it!
After you've got that covered, it's time to celebrate! As parents expecting, don't feel required to make this a super complicated affair. Keep your guest list smaller and limited to those closest to you and baby. Then, treat everyone to dessert instead of a whole meal. You'll save much needed funds and keep party time to a minimum. Finally, keep decorations budget-friendly and easy without looking tacky. Check out the gallery to get more inspiration on how to do just that!
We loved the pink and blue border on our invitation for its simple, yet festive appeal. There was nothing overly dramatic about it, but rather, it conveyed a message that our celebration was all about being casual and fun. To mimic that look and feel we decided to set up a focal point for our party in the form of a dessert and drink bar.
The front of the table was decorated using our invitation as inspiration with alternating pink and blue streamers hanging from the front. This design was simple and inexpensive but added tons of pizzazz to our party. The pink and blue balloons on the front of our invite also inspired the look of our party space. We went with a more traditional route and hung pink and blue balloons throughout the space, and even added a few to our dessert table.
Above our dessert bar we hung a DIY chalkboard tally poster we crafted. This was one of a few gender reveal party activities we planned. As guests arrived to our gender reveal party, they cast their official vote for baby - boy vs. girl!
As expecting parents, you want to keep party details simple. Skip an entire meal and go with an easy dessert spread. Jumbo marshmallow pops dipped in pink and blue candy melts are always a crowd pleaser and enhance the look of this theme.
And instead of pricey cocktails mom-to-be can't enjoy, serve up budget-friendlier blue and pink drinks. We opted for flavored lemonades, but you can customize blue and pink drinks easily to fit your taste buds' preferences.
Not only do pink and blue cupcakes fit in with the dessert bar, they're also the perfect little secret keepers! We love the idea of topping assorted homemade cupcakes with pink and blue frosting after filling them with the appropriately colored frosting to match baby's gender.

I have a list that looks like this:
- Code: Select all
data = [['Sun','10:15'],['Sat','11:23'],['Mon','12:25']]
I'd like to sort the data list so that it sorts by weekday and then by time (i.e. by row 0 and then row 1)
the tricky bit is that I don't want to do either a lexical or a numeric sort on the first row, but rather by
the index of the DOW_LIST.
Can someone show me a good way to do this?

Governor Pat Quinn today signed new laws that will help fight gang crimes and protect those who aid law enforcement in these efforts. Today's actions are part of Governor Quinn's agenda to ensure the safety of all people in every community across Illinois.
"All Illinois residents have the right to be safe in their homes, schools and on our streets," Governor Quinn said. "These new laws give us more tools to fight gang violence, crack down on the criminals and protect those who are doing the right thing for public safety."
House Bill 1139, sponsored by State Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch (D-Westchester) and State Sen. Patricia Van Pelt (D-Chicago), creates the Gang Crime Witness Protection Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority will establish a Gang Crime Witness Protection Program to assist those who are actively aiding in the prosecution of gang crimes. The program will reimburse counties for assistance they provide victims and witnesses, including temporary living costs and moving expenses. The new law takes effect immediately.
"We have to show people that the law is stronger than street gangs," Welch said. "These bills will help make our schools safer by allowing for greater communication between our principals and law enforcement, and protect those who have the courage to stand up to gang violence."
"This legislation will empower people who might be afraid to testify against members of organized crime regimes," Van Pelt said. "If witnesses are willing to tell the authorities everything they know about criminal activity, they can help stop the violence that is rampant in our communities."
House Bill 2768, also sponsored by State Rep. Welch along with State Sen. Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park), requires school principals and assistant principals to report any illegal weapons use or possession, or any illegal gang activity, to the proper law enforcement officials. The bill also requires courts and law enforcement officials to notify principals when one of their students is detained for illegal gang activity. The new law takes effect Jan. 1.
As part of his public safety agenda, last week Governor Quinn issued an amendatory veto of House Bill 183, legislation that would allow and regulate the carrying of concealed handguns in public places. The changes address several serious safety problems with the legislation and will make communities safer across the state.
The governor's changes to House Bill 183 limit concealed carry guns to one per person and one ammunition magazine holding no more than 10 cartridges. The changes would also continue to allow local governments to enact assault weapons bans in their communities; keep guns out of establishments serving alcohol, including most family restaurants; and make the presumption that weapons cannot be carried onto private property or in the workplace unless permission to do so is granted. The Governor's changes establish a better law that puts public safety first. Full details of the governor's amendatory veto as well as how to contact your legislator are available at www.KeepIllinoisSafe.org.
The Illinois General Assembly is scheduled to return to Springfield on July 9 to act on Governor Quinn's amendatory veto. They can vote to accept the veto, which requires a three-fifths majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or they could vote to override the veto, which requires a three-fifths majority in both chambers. If both chambers do nothing, House Bill 183 will not be enacted and Illinois' current concealed carry law will be struck down by the courts.

New Weekly Feature – Top Blogs & Articles Of The Week
I am an obsessed wine geek, there is no doubt. Our house & farm is covered in wine books, wine making or tasting materials, wine samples, glasses and more. I'd furnish the entire house in wine barrel furniture if I was allowed.
As a result, I read
a lot of weekly material, blogs, wine writers etc. Simple Hedonisms was supposed to be more about educational wine writing than it has evolved into, although in my defense I do try and incorporate some small nugget or three into many of my reviews.
Some weeks I may feature 4-5 articles, some I may only have one, or even forget, but I will try to do my best. If you find this weekly article useful as it evolves, share your thoughts.
Top Picks:
(1) Richard Jennings: Rhone Rangers Tasting "Summary"
I have long admired Richard's detailed Cellartracker notes, there was never any doubt how dedicated this man is to capturing and sharing information about wine. His latest, almost breath taking record from the Rhone Rangers San Francisco event is an incredible resource:
California Rhônes: Thoughts on 2012 Rhône Rangers Tasting
(2) Jon Bonné: Sonoma Coast is a sweet spot for Syrah
Sonoma Coast is a sweet spot for Syrah
(3) Fred Swan interviews Rhone Pioneer John Alban on the First Hospice du Rhone
Norcal Wine is one of the best Bay area resources for wine education, and intellectual, investigative journalism. With the 20th Anniversary of Rhone mecca Hospice du Rhone only 2 weeks away, this is a timely,
insightful piece.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated January 4th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Cancer is created spesifically. Allah orders the cancer cell. To that single one, to that first cell, Almighty Allah says; "begin with the name of Allah." If you could ever get inside a cancer cell, it is like a big hall, it is all full inside and they all recite the name of Allah. The first cell starts with the name of Allah. Then comes the second, third and the disease enwraps the whole body. For instance now Allah has created drugs to fight cancer. The drug goes to the cancer cell and says; "Hi, here I come!" "Why did you come?" this one asks and it responds; "I came to kill you." Saying "O Allah, Bismillah" the drug hits hard to the cancer cell and there it is the cancer cell is thus killed. Who is the One that gives life to the cancer cell? Allah. Who is the One that gives that drug the power to kill it? Allah, as well. I mean a [drug] molecule goes and kills that cell. It chops them off one by one, without leaving even a single one alive. Furthermore in the heat of that moment it goes and attacks the cells inside the stomach, the cells inside the mouth as well. But of course it doesn't cause that much harm in those cells. It doesn't do anything that would disrupt the quality of life of that person. Yet it kills the cancer cells, it completely destroys it. And that is also a Law of Allah, a Power of Allah. What is the aim in this? To remind us about Allah. The servant would thus be shaken in such a manner that he would attain faith in a level of certainty and he prepares himself really well. Without that what could he do? He could only be prepared at a certain level. When Allah wants him to be prepared well, He uses that illness as an instrument. For instance, our friend Oktar used to be a bit giddy back in the day, I used to warn him as he was a bit giddy. After he had cancer he matured really well, he matured extra-ordinarily. His enthusiasm has increased, his endeavours have increased, his determination to strive in the path of Allah has increased. He became a completely different person. He used to be angry before, he really was angry but he turned out to be a very mild person, he became a forebearing person. So was that disease for his own good? Yes it was. Without that, may Allah forbid, he might have been devastated, he would have been devastated by now. Right? Look Allah has created that for his own good. What would he be if he had passed away with that illness? That would be fine as well because he would have been a martyr. Oh, Alhamdulillah, that would have been very nice as well. Yet, Allah intended to give him power over the Darwinists and materialists, right? Allah commanded all the cancer cells to die and they all did. All those millions of cells, all those billions of cancer cells wouldn't have died any other way, my brothers. Those cells are very insolent in nature. Allah has ordered those molecules (in the drug) to kill them and they chopped them all off and discarded them. They haven't left even a single one behind, not even one; it was such a massacre that killed all the cancer cells in the body. It could have been possible for them to be hidden in a corner or something but that drug molecule went to even the farthest corners and killed them all one by one. None of them could escape.

Max Starks is out of town but not out of mind.
The free agent left tackle had what people familiar with the situation have described as a positive Wednesday visit with the Chargers. Although no deal had been reached as of Friday morning, Starks is still considered in the mix for San Diego.
In 2012, the 31-year-old started all 16 games at left tackle for the Steelers.
He projects as the Chargers' starting left tackle if he was to join the team.
King Dunlap, 27, is the top option on the current roster. Added competition would be nothing to irk Dunlap, a source close to the veteran said this week, as the former Eagle was not promised anything upon signing a two-year contract in March.
Regardless of what may occur with Starks, the Chargers figure to have more experience at left tackle this year than last. Michael Harris, as an undrafted rookie, and Kevin Haslam combined for 12 left-tackle starts in 2012. They previously had four offensive snaps of NFL regular-season experience between them.
Both remain on the roster after taking a combined 896 reps at left and right tackle in 2012.
Starks spent the first nine seasons of his career in Pittsburgh, starting 96 of the 123 games in which he was active.

In struts 1.x an Action class is a single ton class, so Action class object is not a thread safe, as a programmer we need to make it as thread safe by applying synchronization
In 2.x an Action class object will be created for each request, so it is by default thread safe, so we no need to take care about safety issues here

HIPAA Highlights for Social Workers

Meet Character Designer and new favorite Sharpie artist, Marc Perry! I hunted down this amazing artist and all around great guy through good 'ol Google a while back. When I came across his blog, I found that he draws TONS of Sharpie doodles and posts them write to his own site www.studio5.blogspot.com. This immediatley sparked my interest and I had to know who was the character behind such creativity!
Marc's passion for style in design and exploring new and different ideas keeps things new and fresh in terms of animation, personal art and personal projects. You may recognize this artist's work from several popular animated television series including Ren & Stimpy, Johnny Bravo and Tiny Toon Adventures.
Get to know Marc Perry, the person and the artist, and take a closer look at a collection his Sharpie renderings, right here on the Sharpie blog! Here's some background info on MP to get things rollin'…
Born and raised in North Carolina, Marc Perry started drawing at a young age, right around 3 or 4. Influenced by many different artists and styles, very much so by cartoon and animation, Perry uprooted to Southern California to work as a Character Designer in animation.
When did you first realize you were an artist? I guess the first time was back in early elementary school. I was always drawing and creating characters, cars, jets, spaceships and creatures from my imagination or getting inspiration from magazines and books. I even started selling some of my drawings to classmates and making special pieces for my friends.
Many years later, while working in retail before my animation career, I discovered that one of my coworkers, an old classmate, had bought one of my drawings and still had it after so many years! *Just a bit of trivia here, one of my tattoos is a character from a major influence of mine and is a tribute to him and the inspiration his work gave me.
When was your first big break? My first big break, I think was an opportunity offered to me by Paul Strickland (which I will always appreciate and never forget). Briefly, the story goes like this…Once Upon a Time… No really, it was like this –- I was working in a completely unrelated field, yet had always been drawing and tried on numerous occasions to get into animation unsuccessfully. I made a call to Warner Bros. looking for the animation department and was connected to Paul Strickland with whom I spoke about my dream of working in animation since I was a kid. Paul was attached as a line producer to a new show called Tiny Toon Adventures and said a new director was coming on and in need of an assistant. To make a long story short, I made the trip to LA on the possibility of this job, was hired started that very day, which looking back now was some 20 years ago.
I want to know all about how you started using Sharpie markers as one of your primary sketching and drawing mediums! For many years now, Sharpie markers have been one of my primary drawing and sketching tools in character design, concept and development sketching. The story of how I first started using Sharpie goes something like this…
When my daughter was born I found it difficult to use my usual medium, Prismacolor colored pencils or Tombo pencils, both of which require sharpening. Since I wasn't able to use my sharpener due to the noise, I needed to find a quiet replacement. I found that a black Sharpie marker and heavy laser print quality paper were the ideal combination. The Sharpie was great for line quality and the paper wouldn't cause the ink to bleed (*Sounds like he could've used a Sharpie Pen, it doesn't bleed through paper!). The Sharpie helped me to improve my drawing technique as it's lack of erasability made me plan ahead to what and how I was going to draw. The permanent ink aspect was great because I was able to do colored marker comps. directly on the drawings without bleeding or smudging.
I also found that the use of a whiteout pen would allow me to make line corrections without changing the overall drawing, its look or its feel, which sometimes happens when cleaning up a drawing.
What is your work environment like? My work environment usually is at an animation desk, with an animation disc or at a large art table where I have access to paper, markers, paint and inspirational sources, such as books, art, and drawings.
3 things that must be within an arms length at work:
- Paper (laser print quality or newsprint sketch paper).
- Sharpie fine point markers, wide chisel tip markers, Tombo markers and my whiteout pen.
- Basic colored markers and pencils for working up quick doodle colors or comp. ideas.
I read that you designed a character after your daughter. Have you modeled any others after people in your life? How do you come up with them?
The best way I could describe how I come up with characters is by doodling with shapes, playing with different postures and adding features that help to represent the type, size, shape, attitude among other incidental features that give the character personality. Most of the time, when I work on shows, it usually calls for creating characters for a special scene or episode based on a set style. It is fun and challenging to create memorable characters that stand out.
With the new technology that's out there today, what has been the most difficult part of keeping up with changes in animation?
Technology, software programs and new drawing mediums, such as the Wacom Tablet and Cintiq have changed how a great deal of production is done. The addition of these tools and software has, for the most part, made things cleaner to work with and less wasteful, as far as materials go. Changes and Effects, for instance, can be done very quickly and with fewer staff.
On the other side, things have become more specialized or technical, especially with the creation of CG where people are experts of specific areas. CG has been a boom to the entertainment industry and has allowed characters and worlds to take on a whole new reality. With the advancement continuing and now the popularity of 3D in theaters, it appears that the old artistry of hand creation has been lost and the new generation will know nothing of traditional animation or that what they see now is only advancement do in thanks to computers and technological developments.
I imagine there are hundreds, if not thousands of elements that go into TV/Film. What specifics are you involved in? As a Character Designer, I am responsible for the creation of characters, both main and incidental, that will be used in the animation. Sometimes the Character Designer will create the props that will be used in the animation as well.
In my last few productions, I have been involved with Visual and Concept Development, and following that through into Art Direction.
What are the best/worst parts about your job? I would honestly say that there really isn't a worst part, it's more the nature of the Television and Film Entertainment industry. Those in "The Industry" know first hand that it isn't your usual steady 9-5 job. There are those lucky times where you can get connected with a show/series that has a long run with little to no down time, but that's usually not the standard. More often than not, you work on a show or series for a specified number of episodes; once those are completed there's usually some down time or a hopefully brief layoff period until there is a decision regarding additional pickup.
Sometimes, when multiple shows are in production you can be reassigned to another series if needed and could fit the style. Most of the time, however, towards the end of a series you begin scrambling and searching for a new a new show to be a part of. So, I suppose the feeling of instability, then, would be the "worst" part of my job, or the industry as a whole.
Now, the best part of my job – It's a lot of fun and satisfying to be able to use specific talents and abilities and to have a career in entertaining yourself and others. Whatever parts of the industry you work in, I think there is a certain pride you take in your work, both as an individuals and part of a collaborative team, bringing fun and entertainment to an audience.
As a Character Designer, I have fun creating new and different characters all the time from my imagination and seeing them come to life. As a Visual Concept Designer and Art Director, the enjoyment is creating new and imaginative characters and environments and then overseeing the visual creative process through to completion.
Can you tell me about what you're working on now? Currently, I am working on personal projects and development for my own show and series ideas. I'm also working on ways to branch off into areas where I can produce and sell my non-animation art commercially through products, merchandise, books, or through selected galleries.
Do you have any goals that you're working toward? I think the biggest goal for most of us in animation or as artists, for that matter, is just working and making a living. You always have goals; it's part of human nature, yet for artists it is usually not easy to obtain many of the ones you dream of unless everything just happens to fall into place. I have always had big dreams and the desire to work at obtaining them, many, I can happily say, have come true and are not even art related.
Looking back, knowing what you know now, what would you want to 10 yr old Marc Perry to know? This may come as a surprise, but….I would probably tell him to choose another career path other than art! Being an athlete my whole life, I would probably suggest picking a sport where I could become a professional or at least use that talent to get a scholarship to a University for something in the medical field, such as becoming a surgeon, where I could use my hands and eyes for something greater!
Favorite Sharpie: The one I wrote the draft to answer these questions, a black Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker. I have used these for so many character designs and concept designs, I can't even recall.
Favorite Characters: Good question, hard to answer. My style influence is classically based on the designers of the '50s (stylistic and disgnee) and Retro, as it is referred to as now (flat and stylistic). So, I would say my favorites are characters, yes, but more importantly are my favorite designers of character design. Most of these people have been and continue to be my inspiration for many and different reasons. Here are a few:
- Ed Benedict
- Tom Oreb
- Ward Kimball
- Mary Blair
- Hawley Pratt
- Bill Hurt
- John Hubley
- Gene Deitch
- Jack Cole
- Eric Sokol
- Eldon Dedini
- Miroslav Sasek
- Aurelius Battaglia
- Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
The last thing I'd Like to share is… To be able to do what I do, turning something you love and would do for free into a career is great! To bring that fun and entertainment to others is something I think a lot of people in the industry enjoy. I'd also like to add a word of thanks to the people who have enjoyed some of the work I've done and hopefully will continue doing for a long time. I thank you all. It's all appreciated. A special Thanks to Whitney Kelly who found my work and invited me to share. Best! MPerry.
Thank YOU Marc, for this incredible interview and all the great art you produce! Be sure to visit Mr. MP at his very own site for more of his work and info! www.studio5.blogspot.com.

Fairfax County Completes Damage Assessment Plan
June 20, 2008
News Highlights
- The damage assessment plan provides detailed procedures for assessing the conditions of buildings and structures affected by a disaster.
- Damage assessment is a major task throughout the response and short-term recovery phases of a disaster.
Fairfax County's Damage Assessment Plan, which was compiled on May 30, 2008, provides detailed procedures for assessing the conditions of homes, business establishments, private property and all other non-government owned buildings and structures affected by a disaster.
"The longest and most daunting phase of a disaster is recovery," said Cullen L. Henderson, recovery and compliance specialist for the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management. "One of the most integral steps in recovering from a natural or man-made disaster is the accurate analysis of the actual damage sustained by residences, businesses, publicly owned roads, buildings and equipment, and the types and amounts of debris left behind." The damage assessment process dramatically aids coordination of relief efforts, reconstruction and financial reimbursement.
Theplan was completed just days before Fairfax County experienced damaging storms. The plan assisted in coordination and communication efforts among emergency response agencies while identifying and evaluating the affected areas. Severe thunderstorms, torrential rains and suspected tornado touchdowns affected residential, business and local government properties, and interrupted power and telephone service to large numbers of county residents.
Damage assessment is a major task throughout the response and short-term recovery phases of a disaster. After establishing a baseline during the initial damage assessment, the county partners with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies to complete the preliminary damage assessment (PDA). The PDA enables federal and state authorities to evaluate sustained damages to assist the governor in making the decision to declare a state of emergency or, if further assistance is needed, the president in approving the governor's request for a presidential disaster declaration. The accuracy of the analysis and information tracking during each of the assessments is particularly crucial when final justifications for financial reimbursement are made at the end of the long-term recovery phase.
The plan was developed by Fairfax County's Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, Office of Emergency Management, Fire and Rescue Department, Department of Planning and Zoning and the Health Department. It will be shared with the National Capital Region as part of the county's program focused on the long-term recovery and revitalization efforts after a major disaster.
The plan satisfies the requirement of the National Flood Insurance Program, a federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance to protect them against flood losses. More information on the flood insurance program can be found at www.fema.gov/business/nfip.

Queenslanders living near a large bushfire on Bribie Island are sitting tight but are prepared to flee if the wind changes.
At 5pm (AEST) 16 fire crews were battling the blaze, which is being fanned by strong winds, on the island's western side, north of Brisbane.
Water bombing aircraft were on standby.
Large tracts of a pine plantation and bushland in the Bribie Island National Park have been burnt to charcoal and are still smouldering.
Earlier in the afternoon the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service issued an alert for residents at White Patch, near Bribie Island National Park, to use their bushfire plans.
Firefighters backburning near homes at White Patch, which was under a thick cloud of smoke, told AAP the blaze was under control and there shouldn't be much to see on Thursday.
Locals are also confident they won't have to flee.
Resident John Buxton thinks his home will be safe but if the wind changes he's ready to get out.
"They (the emergency services) have all done a tremendous amount of work and it looks like we'll be alright," he told AAP.
"There's enough labour, enough expertise and enough water.
"But it's all about the wind, you know. If we get a westerly they reckon it won't be so good.
"That's what it all boils down to. You can never trust the wind, so we're ready to get out too."
On Wednesday morning police helped evacuate 240 campers from sites on Bribie Island, as authorities closed all campgrounds to allow firefighters to battle the blaze.
People were being urged to reconsider travelling to the island for recreational purposes.
The fire has been burning since Monday.
By Wednesday afternoon, 17 fires were burning across the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology said a fire weather warning was current for Queensland's Channel Country and Maranoa and Warrego districts, and parts of the Darling Downs and Granite Belt districts.
High to very high daytime temperatures, well above the January average, will continue over much of the state until Saturday, the bureau said.

HOUSTON - A 33-year-old man believed to be traveling with a 14-year-old girl for whom an Amber Alert has been issued is facing a felony charge.
Haylie White left her home in the 15000 block of By The Lake Way near Water Scene Trail on Tuesday afternoon. According to neighbors, she willingly left with Jacob West, a former neighbor.
"She's nothing but a baby," said Carl Levy, Haylie's grandmother. "I know that some of the pictures make her look older, but she's not."
Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables issued the Amber Alert a short time after Haylie's disappearance, but it was not the first time they've been called out to her home. According to court documents, Levy called 911 when Haylie left with West on Jan. 15. A Harris County sheriff's deputy found the pair and Haylie returned home.
"She's looking for love and attention," Levy said. "That why she's getting, I guess, with this guy."
Levy said she just wants Haylie to come home.
"I love her and want her back and nothing has been done yet," Levy said. "Nobody's got her or nothing. Nobody has heard from her."
Haylie is white, 5 feet tall, 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a tye-dye shirt and blue jeans.
West is 6 feet 2 inches tall and 220 pounds with short brown hair and brown eyes.
The two are believed to be traveling in a silver 2005 GMC Envoy with Texas license plate No. AT42794.
Sources told KPRC Local 2 that West may have taken camping gear with him, so the two may be at a camping site.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Haylie and/or West is asked is call the Harris County Sheriff's Office at 713-221-6000 or their local law enforcement agency.

Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
Your child's immune system is one of the primary defences his body has to protect him from the diseases and conditions that can make him sick. The immune system is a network of organs, tissues and cells, and works to protect the body by attacking 'foreign invaders' known as antigens, which can pose a danger to your child's health.
Allergic reactions are caused when the immune system protects the body against specific antigens that are in fact, completely harmless. Common allergic reactions are caused by pet hair, pollen and food proteins such as gluten and lactose. While the majority of the population can tolerate these substances without having any type of immune reaction at all, for some, exposure to these antigens can cause allergic reactions including hayfever, eczema and asthma as well as the potentially life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis.
Learn more about allergies and other conditions affecting the immune system and how to treat them.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. The reaction has been "quite negative", according to a Guardian summary. In part, this is because the prize did not go to Mallala Yousafzai. It is anti-climactic when the celebrators of Mandela, Walesa, King and Gorbachev opt for a faceless bureaucracy. The award also feels like an incentive for future efforts rather than a celebration of past endeavours. Read more

I recently acquired several hats at an Estate Sale but this one in particular caught my eye. Its matters very little to me that the hat's netting is coming loose in several areas. I love the top of the hat in particular. I refer to as a "spider" look. Some people love shoes, I've fallen in love with these hats.
I've looked up as much information concerning hats that were manufactured under the label Union Made and the United Hatters, Cap & Millinery Workers Union. This particular hat has the Union Made label with identifying code or make of DF 869587. I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area and have come to find that there were several small companies such as Volk Brothers Shoe Store of Ferris, Texas which manufactured shoes and hats and perhaps were a part of the Union. They owned Volk Brothers Shoe Store which was located at 1806 Elm, Dallas, Texas at or about the 1930s. This makes me understand the meaning of "small town USA," where there were local hatters, cap, millinery and clothiers. I would have loved to have been one of those women who got dressed up, put on their finest hat and headed downtown to shop for the latest fashions.
I am nothing short of amazed by these hats and am in love with the style(s). It is no wonder the popularity is coming back. I admire the woman who used to own this hat, as well as the others I acquired. She was a fashionista of her day.

Senseless sinuses: According to Richard Dawkins: "Another consequence of our own shift from quadruped to biped concerns the sinuses, which give grief to any of us because their drainage hole is in the very last place a sensible designer would have chosen." He then quotes Australian science broadcaster Robyn Williams quoting Professor Derek Denton: "The big maxillary sinuses or cavities are behind the cheeks on either side of the face. They have their drainage holes in their top, which is not much of an idea in terms of using gravity to assist drainage of fluid."
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth, Bantam Press, 2009
Editorial Comment: Sinuses are definitely not designed to work using gravity. They have a self cleaning inner surface lining which moves fluid upwards and sideways very efficiently. This lining is called "respiratory epithelium" and includes two specialised cells that work together. One type of cell secretes mucus, a sticky fluid that traps any bacteria and other particles in the air; the other type of cell has whip-like hairs projecting from its surface, which move in an organised fashion to transport the mucus and any trapped bugs and debris towards the nose. This conveyor belt action is an active process that does not need gravity. Sinuses only fill with fluid and cause pain when either the cilia are damaged, or the lining becomes inflamed because of infection or allergy, and secretes more fluid than the cilia can cope with. However, this is not the result of bad design. In the original good creation where Genesis informs us the world was watered by a mist every day (Genesis 2:6) there would have been no dust to cause a problem to the sinuses, and moisture in abundance to lubricate them. Since all the original bacteria were good the germ problem never occurred. The reason we have sinus problems is because the air in our no-longer-good world is dry and filled with dust, chemicals and bacteria, and our no-longer-good immune systems are unable to cope. If you want to blame someone for this look in a mirror – we rebelled against our Creator (Genesis 3). (Ref. paranasal sinuses, mucosa, sinusitis)
