The Twitxchange with Ghostcrawler below pokes at an issue I'm still working through: How "different" should the three rogue spec rotations feel in PvE?
@Ghostcrawler I guess you've changed your idea on this?—
Kathaaria (@Evilnihil) January 11, 2013
@Evilnihil @Ghostcrawler I don't think they did really. Fan+CT terrible for combat, so now blade flurry fills that. 5 target niche is ok!—
Verain (@VerainOfUrsin) January 11, 2013
@VerainOfUrsin Yeah. It's also a small way to make rogue spec rotations a little more different too.—
Greg Street (@Ghostcrawler) January 11, 2013
This back-and-forth is part of the much larger exchange of tweets we've seen about the upcoming Blade Flurry changes in Patch 5.2, which started out as a flat 75% copied-damage reduction and currently stands as a 60% reduction that will now apply to as many as four nearby targets instead of just one.
The final point Ghostcrawler makes in the exchange above raises what, for me, is an intriguing question over how important it is that our three rogue specs have different rotations. Combat's upcoming Blade Flurry changes will further entrench three surprisingly different AoE damage approaches for the three specs:
- Assassination: Fan of Knives + Tab-Rupture (keeping the bleed on multiple targets to maximize energy regen for more FoKs)
- Combat: Blade Flurry (plus Killing Spree and AdRush for fun burst)
- Subtlety: Fan of Knives + Crimson Tempest (still amazing to type that; it's an all-AoE rotation! for a ROGUE!)
I realize there's room for debate over the optimal AoE "rotation" for Assassination (i.e., whether/when Slice and Dice and Envenom should come into play), but we're still talking three distinct approaches. If making the rogue specs "feel" different in multi-target situations was a design goal, 5.2 will mark a huge success.
But I'm going to play devil's advocate here, and ask: What's the point of this success? (I had originally written a paragraph here arguing that the three specs have distinctly different single-target rotations as well, but it got too bogged down in specifics and I drifted away from this central question, so I may save that for another day.) Why is it so important that the rogue *rotations* — be they single-target or multi-target — be different from spec to spec? How is that a valuable intrinsic quality of the class?
I realize there are a fair number — maybe even a large number — of rogue players out there who are steadfastly loyal to a particular spec. Whether it's the playstyle or the (loosely associated) lore, they identify themselves by the spec as much as the class as a whole. They're not just rogues — they're *Combat* (or Mut, or Sub) rogues.
But what is it that makes a *player* a Combat (or whatever) rogue? If you ask players to list the qualities of their favorite spec, how many will focus on mechanics — the ability to toggle Killing Spree, the fun of using Shadow Dance, the sheer thrill that comes with the knowledge that 40% of your damage comes passively from Deadly Poison? (Sorry, sorry — couldn't help it. Assassination is actually my favorite spec.)
Or is the answer to the question a little more emotional, more aesthetic, than that? I don't prefer Assassination because I think Envenom is a clever way to actively increase our passive damage (oops, paradox) and separate less-skilled players from more skilled players. (Actually, I think Assassination fails to deliver on that front, but that's another topic.) Or because I like the incorporation of Rupture for energy regen. Or because I think Vendetta is a fun cooldown. Or because of *any* particular ability or talent.
No, I like Assassination the most because it "feels" different. Mutilate is the most expensive CP builder we have; as a result, Assassination has the slowest rotation by far, because a chunk of time is often spent waiting for energy to regen so we can Mutilate again. And I *like* that. It gives me time to look at what's happening in the raid around me, to think more about where I'm standing and where I should be standing (and where I'll need to be standing in a few seconds). I've always felt that the weaving of Mutilates, well-timed Envenoms and Ruptures makes the Assassination rotation feel like a dance — ironic, since Subtlety is the spec that actually has a (Shadow) Dance in it.
But despite that, I don't consider myself an "Assassination rogue." If the Assassination spec were to lose that "dance" feel, I wouldn't suddenly stop playing the class. I'm a WoW player who enjoys playing a rogue more than other classes primarily because of the stealth/strategy component, not because of how particular mechanics play. And I worry that, if Blizzard devs continue to prioritize efforts to define and balance what essentially is three distinct rogue *classes* — each with its own unique mechanics — that we're not going to get back to a place where rogues as a whole feel fresh and distinct. We can't, because we're too busy trying to tease out what's fresh and distinct between each individual spec — as well as maintaining balance not only between the three rogue specs, but between rogues and other classes on the whole.
I'm not sure whether this makes me a fan of the idea of having only a single rogue DPS spec for the entire class, or whether it just means I wish that aesthetics, not mechanics, could be all that truly defines the differences between the specs. (Combat's unique ability to dual-wield slow weapons would be one example here.) I just know that I'm not comfortable with the idea that each rogue spec has to have its mechanical niche. I worry that class design and balance suffer as a result.

Federer, Murray each say there would be no problem if a men's tennis player comes out as gay
ROME – Roger Federer and Andy Murray believe there would be no problem if a men's tennis player comes out as gay.
The second- and third-ranked players were asked about the possibility Sunday at the Italian Open after NBA veteran Jason Collins recently became the first active player in any of the four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out.
"I don't think it would be a problem," Federer said. "We're very relaxed. We don't play a team sport and see each other all the time. ... We're very open. So whatever happens, happens. I don't know if there are any. So far from what I've heard, no. But that could change, possibly because of the case in the NBA."

KSNW-TV reports the ad demands that the Legislature legalize, tax and regulate the sale of marijuana.
The group's co-founder, Mike Golden, says marijuana is now in a black market with no regulation. He says putting it in a legal market takes away the criminal element.
The Silver-Haired Legislature of Kansas recently approved a non-binding resolution supporting legislation to let people use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Happy Hour
All there is to sip and savor in New Orleans
Seasonally Sweet Cocktails, Plus a Wine Event
We all have different tolerances for certain spices and flavorings. Surely around here you know someone who puts hot sauce on everything except a Snickers Bar. Or maybe you know someone who even does that. Would not surprise me.
Then there are the folks who add salt and pepper to every dish before they even taste it. Or ladle spoonfuls of sugar into their tea or coffee. I can more understand this since you pretty much know what tea or coffee is like when it is served, and you know what you like, so getting to the "happy point" is easy.
Cocktails are a bit more problematic. Any mixologist worth his/her muddler will tell you that balance is key to a well-crafted cocktail. And then off they go, slapdash adding six or seven ingredients, without the benefit of measuring, putting in tinctures and liqueurs, along with rum, tossing it all in a shaker, then serving it to you with a rimming of sugar or salt.
Balance?? Are you kidding me? Nothing could be further from the actual experience. You are either puckering from sweetness or sour, after plowing through a veritable field of greenery stuck into the liquid, and not knowing whether to add the lime garnish or just suck on it for a more pleasant citrus flavor. Not to mention you just paid $14 for a glass that is 70 percent ice.
Okay, not all bar folks do such things, thankfully, but enough do to make ordering a cocktail sometimes a very dicey experience.
One of the surest ways to get a sweet drink, if those are your desires (and please note I am making no judgments one way or the other. You're welcome), doing a main-line to sugar ingestion, is to order a cocktail that contains fresh fruit. We are fortunate this time of year to be blessed with so many. Strawberries, peaches, watermelon and cantaloupe are just a few of the precious beauties at their peak right now which can be paired with distilled spirits.
But here's the warning shot across your bow: many spirits and additives, particularly rum and sweet liqueurs, are sugar-based. If you keep adding sugar-based spirits on top of fruit, you are going to end up with something quite, well, sweet. When you request a drink made with fresh fruit, pull back on other sugar-based ingredients, or offset the sugar flavors with citrus flavors.
That advice may seem unnecessary, but you would be surprised how many people who really love sugar take a sip of something truly beautiful only to pull back and cough out a "I don't think I like it" response. Pretty colors in a drink are almost always a sign of sugars. Fresh fruit is appealing for the same reason, sugars.
Before you get the idea that I am anti-sugar, which I am not most certainly, however I am against drinks that are not balanced. Anything where one or two ingredients are out of whack, even when it comes to alcohol or citrus, is not going to be a good drink. Why else do we get involved with such intricate construction of a cocktail if it's not going to be good (read: in balance)?
To test your adherence to the theory of balance, below are several recipes for cocktails that use as a base that sweet summertime treat, watermelon. By tasting the ingredients in each drink, and altering the quantities to suit your preferences, which you may not even know, you can hit upon those flavors that make you smile at the final version.
Watermelon Gin Fizz
Serves 4 Courtesy: Eating Well, 2012
5 cups diced watermelon, seeds removed
6 cups London Gin
8 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/3 cups ginger ale
Lime wedges to garnish
Freeze 1 cup of watermelon for use as garnish. Puree remaining 1 cups of watermelon. Strain, then pour equal amounts into 4 glasses. Top each glass with 1½ ounces of gin, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/3 cup ginger ale. Stir. Add frozen watermelon wedge into drink and lime wedge on glass rim.
Watermelon-Basil Bramble Cocktail
Serves 1 Courtesy: A Spicy Perspective, 2012
2 ounces London Gin
1 ounce fresh lime juice
½ to 1 ounce simple syrup, to taste
2 chunks watermelon
2 chopped basil leaves
Pinch of salt
Cut the watermelon into 1 1/2 inch chunks. Place the watermelon, basil and salt in a cocktail shaker. Muddle until well smashed and soupy. Add the gin, lime juice and simple syrup. Fill with ice, place the lid on the shaker and shake well, 30 seconds or so. Pour into a glass and garnish with extra watermelon and basil.
While we are on the subject of drink recipes, let's send out a hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Jeanette Condon, manager, Allegro Bistro, and Scot Mattox, Iris Restaurant, two talented New Orleanians just announced as finalists in the Disaronno Mixing Star mixologist competition.
They now move on to the next level of competition to be held at the upcoming Tales of the Cocktail, July 17-21, to compete for a trip to Venice, Italy during the Venice Film Festival. These two talents should have a good chance to head to Venice since the final judging will take place in their home town.
Jeanette created the drink, Gypsy Rose Lee, inspired by the movie, Gypsy.
Gypsy Rose Lee
1 ounce Disaronno
1 ounce Cranberry Juice
1 ounce Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
3 ounces Prosecco
Put all in a shaker with ice and shake, shake, shake. Spray the glass with rose water. Strain the shaker into the glass and top with Prosecco. Garnish with a rose petal.
Scot created Q's Negroni, a tribute to the James Bond films.

To Do Street Magic
Shake The Ace Trick
A version of this trick was performed in David Blaine's second special
where he made the spectator sign a card, the card was put back in the
pack and was made to appear from between two aces. This page will show
you how to do a great version of this trick.
Secret: Give the spectator, the two red aces and tell them to hold
Fan out the deck and tell the spectator to touch a card.
Square the deck up leaving their card stuck out to be signed and shown.
Now you secretly put the card into "palm position" when you
square up the deck so you can easily palm the card when you want to.
It must stick out of the lower corner of the pack meeting your inner thumb.
Let them sign the card and then hand them the deck, secretly palming their
After they are convinced that the card is well lost in the deck, ask for
the two aces and sandwich the face down palmed card between the aces,
showing only the aces face up.
Tell them to hold the deck openly and start to shake the aces directly
over the pack, tell them to watch their card rise from the deck into the
two aces, shake a little more loosely and watch as to their amazement,
their signed card appears from between the aces.

Jamison Murphy, 24, feels like he's starting his music career with a pretty big break.
The relatively unknown independent singer and songwriter, born in Burnsville and raised in Lakeville, is getting ready to go to Los Angeles to produce his first record with Grammy-nominated producer Warren Huart. The producer has worked with The Fray, Augustana and James Blunt, among other big names.
"I'm so excited for this experience," Murphy said. "Since it's my debut record, I feel like I've spent my entire life working toward this moment. You only get one 'first record,' so unfortunately, I'll never get to relive this experience in quite the same light again — I'm not taking anything for granted …"
Murphy's genres include light pop, rock and alternative pop. He tells stories in his songs, so some argue that he has some country sensibilities, too.
In college at St. John's University in Collegeville, he wrote music and posted YouTube videos of covers and original songs. That led to a mutual friend introducing him to Huart.
Murphy has been saving money for the past two years to buy studio time with Huart. "He told me at our first meeting he wanted to record me, but I was a broke college grad with loads of student loans," Murphy said. "I moved to NYC and modeled for a year to save up as much as I could. It's still an insanely generous investment on his part — I'm extremely thankful he was willing to work with my budget."
Murphy started writing songs as a senior at Lakeville South High School, and his first performance of an original song was at homecoming coronation — where he broke a guitar string and just kept on singing.
To help fund the trip and production, Murphy has set up an Indiegogo campaign at JamisonMurphy.com. His goal is to raise $3,000 by Sunday. He and his band members will fly to Los Angeles on Sept. 8.
"I think it'll be one of those things that just feels like a whirlwind, and once it's over, I'll be sitting there wondering if it actually happened," Murphy said. "I'm just going to try to take it all in and make every minute count."
Below are excerpts from a recent interview with Murphy.
Q: What has shaped your interest in music?
A: Music moves me. That's the simplest way of saying it. It's helped me grow, learn, cope, celebrate and internalize every human emotion. I appreciate every genre in its own respect, and I listen to a wide variety of artists. I draw inspiration from all of them.
Q: Describe the content of the songs that you write. What do you like to sing about?
A: I write songs with respect to remembering the past fondly, keeping your chin up in the present, and having faith in the future. I try to help people celebrate the peaks and cope with the valleys. The songs I write are a reflection of the lessons I've learned, who I am today and what I hope for. I think everyone is meant for beautiful and amazing things, so my goal is to create music that grants my listeners the mentality and esteem to achieve those things.
Q: Why do you want to do music full-time? What is it about music that is fulfilling to you?
A: Honestly, it's all about the connection for me. When people tell me one of my songs helped them through something in their life, whether it was dealing with the negative or taking advantage of the positive, I get overwhelmed with purpose and wholeness. I just want to bring as much love into this world as possible, and so far, music's been the best way for me to do that.
Q: What had you tried before the deal with Warren Huart to advance your music career?
A: So many people are trying to make careers as singer and songwriters, and I knew I had to do something different to separate myself from the clutter. I set a goal for myself and didn't let myself settle; I worked as hard as I could and connected with as many people as possible. Instead of grabbing the first opportunity that came along, I focused on honing my skills as a songwriter. I knew I wanted to launch my first record from a respected platform in the industry, and Warren is definitely respected.
Q: As a relatively unknown artist at the moment, what are some things about you that make you stand out from other musicians or artists?
A: I try to write songs that haven't been written before. Even if I'm expressing a not-so-original message, I try to find a fresh way to say it. My lyrics are often story-based — I guess that's my way of trying to 'show' instead of 'tell.' I think I'm more positive than most artists; I tend to find the silver lining pretty easily. I also love putting twists at the end my songs — it's kind of an ongoing trend I've noticed in myself.
Q: Having been born and raised in Minnesota, has that impacted your music career in any way?
A: I love Minnesota. I would say the biggest way it's influenced me is all the talent I'm surrounded by. The local music scene is so inspiring; Minnesota has everything! Local singer and songwriters like Savannah Smith and Austin Plaine motivate me every day. Our hip-hop and folk scenes are pretty crazy too. There's so much love for the arts around our beautiful state — I just love it. I recently wrote a song about my love for Minnesota and Minneapolis called "Belong Here."
Q: What kind of personal characteristics and what kind of work has it taken to get to where you are today?
A: Perseverance, creativity and confidence. I've had to believe in myself more than anything. I've been rejected a ton and will be rejected a ton more in the future, but I won't let it discourage me. That's the only reason I've come this far: I haven't given up. I can't.

located. Look for your timezone in
# ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
(Suppose you want to use GMT)# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
The core around which all distributions are built is the Linux kernel. It is the
layer between the user programs and your system hardware. Gentoo provides its
users several possible kernel sources. A full listing with description is

Manually configuring a kernel is often seen as the most difficult procedure a Linux user ever has to perform. Nothing is less true -- after configuring a couple of kernels you don't even remember that it was difficult ;)
However, one thing
Now, go to your kernel source directory, it's time to configure your kernel.
It is recommended that you add the default settings to your configuration by
first running
# cd /usr/src/linux # make pmac32_defconfig # make menuconfig
You will be greeted with several configuration sections. We'll first list some options you must activate (otherwise Gentoo will not function, or not function properly without additional tweaks).
First of all, activate the use of development and experimental code/drivers. You need this, otherwise some very important code/drivers won't show up:
Code maturity level options ---> [*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Now go to
File systems ---> Pseudo Filesystems ---> [*] /proc file system support [*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs) Partition Types ---> [*] Amiga partition table support [*] Macintosh partition map support
(Select one or more of the following options as needed by your system)<*> Reiserfs support <*> Ext3 journalling file system support <*> Second extended fs support <*> XFS filesystem support
If you are using PPPoE to connect to the Internet or you are using a dial-up modem, you will need the following options in the kernel:
Device Drivers ---> Networking support ---> <*> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support <*> PPP support for async serial ports <*> PPP support for sync tty ports
The two compression options won't harm but are not definitely needed, neither
does the
If you require it, don't forget to include support in the kernel for your ethernet card.
Users of NewWorld and OldWorld machines will want HFS support as well. OldWorld users require it for copying compiled kernels to the MacOS partition. NewWorld users require it for configuring the special Apple_Bootstrap partition:
File Systems ---> [*] HFS Support
At this time, kernel preemption is still unstable on PPC and may cause
compilation failures and random segfaults. It is
Kernel options ---> Preemption Model (No Forced Preemption (Server))
If you're booting from Firewire, you'll need to enable these options. If you do not want to compile in support, you'll need to include these modules and their dependencies in an initrd.
Device Drivers ---> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support ---> <*> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support <*> OHCI-1394 support <*> SBP-2 support (Harddisks etc.)
If you're booting from USB, you'll need to enable these options. If you do not want to compile in support, you'll need to include these modules and their dependencies in an initrd.
Device Drivers ---> USB support ---> <*> Support for Host-side USB <*> OHCI HCD support <*> USB Mass Storage support
Do not turn off kernel framebuffer support as it is required for a successful boot. If you are using an NVIDIA based chipset, you should use the OpenFirmware framebuffer. If you are using an ATI based chipset, you should select the framebuffer driver based upon your chipset (Mach64, Rage128 or Radeon).
Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*> Support for frame buffer devices [*] Open Firmware frame buffer device support <*> ATI Radeon display support <*> ATI Rage128 display support <*> ATI Mach64 display support Console display driver support ---> <*> Framebuffer Console support
When you're done configuring your kernel, continue with
Now that your kernel is configured, it is time to compile and install it. Exit the configuration and run the commands which will compile the kernel:
# make && make modules_install
When the kernel has finished compiling, copy the kernel image to
Yaboot and BootX expect to use an uncompressed kernel unlike many other
bootloaders. The uncompressed kernel is called vmlinux and it is placed in

Now, let's see how to use genkernel. First, emerge the genkernel ebuild:
# emerge genkernel
Next, copy over the kernel configuration used by the Installation CD to the location where genkernel looks for the default kernel configuration:
# zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/ppc/kernel-config-2.6
If you are using firewire or USB to boot, you'll need to add modules to the
initrd. Edit
Before compiling your sources, the fstab needs a slight adjustment. The rest of
the fstab will be completed during a later step, so don't worry about the
details now. If you did not create a separate boot partition (NOT bootstrap,
that's different), remove the line referencing /boot from
# nano -w /etc/fstab
Remove this line/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
Now, compile your kernel sources by running
Note that, if your partition where the kernel should be located doesn't use ext2

1. May the Fourth be with you: Celebrating the Star Wars film franchise, Star Wars Day is observed by fans on May the Fourth, an obvious pun on the popular Jedi phrase "May the Force be with you." Taking puns a step further, May 5 has come to be called "Revenge of the Fifth," a play on "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith," a day for fans to join the "dark side" and celebrate the Sith lords from the Star Wars movies.
2. Fully fan inspired: While Star Wars Day is a tribute to the movies made by George Lucas, Lucasfilm had nothing to do with the holiday's creation or its ongoing observance.
3. London calling: The phrase tied to Star Wars Day was first used May 4, 1979, when Margaret Thatcher took office as Prime Minister of the U.K. Members of Thatcher's Conservative party published full-page advertisement in the London Evening News congratulating the new Prime Minister, which read: "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations."
4. Kicked off in Canada: The first organized Star Wars Day events were held at the Toronto Underground Cinema on May 4, 2011. Sean Ward and Alice Quinn organized the celebration, which included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show; a celebrity judged costume contest and Star Wars tribute films and parodies screened.
5. It's a Small World After All: The Walt Disney Company, which purchased Lucasfilm in 2012 has officially observed the holiday since 2013 with special Star Wars events May 4 at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
6. In a galaxy not so far away: There are several stellar ways in and around Boston to celebrate Star Wars Day. The Museum of Science will host special screenings of "Star Wars: Episode VII" on May 4 and fans are encouraged to dress up like Yoda, Chewie and the rest of the gang. If spoofing on the Star Wars franchise is more your thing, head over to Cambridge's Brattle Theatre Thursday for a screening of the Mel Brook's cult classic "Spaceballs."

Liberty News
Sounds of Liberty performs at March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.
The Sounds of Liberty ministry team from Liberty University performed during the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Jan. 22, with more than 300,000 in attendance. The annual pro-life rally began in 1974, with approximately 20,000 people. Liberty University has been involved with the March for 36 years.
Over the years, Sounds of Liberty has participated in the rally, singing many different songs, including patriotic songs and songs with religious themes. Sounds of Liberty also attended the Rose Dinner, a banquet for sponsors and patrons of the event. March for Life hosts supporters from a wide variety of denominations. The theme for this year's rally was, "REMEMBER, the Life Principles mean 'Equal Care' with No Exceptions!"
The late Dr. Jerry Falwell supported this event and was involved many times with the March. He founded the Liberty Godparent Home, which provides young pregnant women, who may be targeted by Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice organizations, with an alternative. This home supports his anti-abortion stance, and is still running strong today, after 26 years.

Editor's Note: This article on .223 vs 5.56 comparisons is an excerpt from Gun Digest 2013, the world's greatest gun book.
.223 vs 5.56: A History
by Patrick Sweeney
To a whole lot of shooters, ammo is ammo—if it fits, it shoots. These shooters tend to be the guys with seriously tired, worn, or even busted firearms. They also tend to focus on the wrong thing; you know, the guy who scrubs the brass marks off his ejector lump, at least until one day his rifle stops working or breaks into many pieces.
Ammo is not ammo. And when doing a .223 vs 5.56 comparison, while the loads are almost identical, they are not the same. To know why, we have to go back to the beginning.
The early 1960s were an interesting time. The returning GIs from WWII and Korea had a decade to get things the way they liked. Two tastes they acquired during that time were varmint shooting and benchrest. Varmint shooting was simple. Various members of the rodentia clan, going about their usual business in a field or pasture, served as animate targets. They were prolific breeders, there was no limit, no season, no quitting. You could shoot all day if you wished. Well, as much as shooters then and now like to shoot, shooting varmints with a .30-06 was just silly. The recoil would beat you up, the noise was alarming, barrels got really hot really fast, and the cost of ammo, even back then, was just off the charts.
So they went down in caliber until they found that various rifle cartridges using .224-inch bullets did the job nicely.
Benchrest shooting was a refinement and variant of target shooting. Instead of trying to coax all the shots into a 10-ring, the group was the score. The smaller the group, the better the score. Again, smaller was better, and the common .224-inch diameter bullet served well.
The premier cartridge in the early 1950s, when varminting and benchrest got started and began revving up, was the .222 Remington. Introduced, in 1950, in the Remington 722, it was superbly accurate, and the rifle was also a brilliant out-of-the-box shooter. The mild recoil would not cause a benchrest shooter to have aiming problems, and the mild report, efficient powder charges and low bore erosion made it a useful varmint cartridge.
For those who needed more reach in the varmint fields, Remington came out with the .222 Magnum in 1958, offering 2-300 fps more velocity than the little .222.
Now we shift gears from varminting to the on-going soap opera of the U.S. Army rifle situation. Having spent a decade and millions of taxpayers dollars, the U.S. Army Ordnance bureau has brought forth … an improved M1 Garand. And so screwed up is the process that they can't even produce rifles quickly enough to arm the U.S. Army in any reasonable time frame. I once looked into the numbers and came to the conclusion that, at the rate the Army was buying and building (the U.S. arsenal at Springfield was still open then), the entire U.S. Army would not have been switched over to the M14 before the bicentennial. For those who don't remember that occasion, the year was 1976.
So, the Army finds, in the mid-1960s, that the Armalite rifle is one that could actually be forced upon them. They pull out all the stops and do everything they can to prevent this. "Real men shoot .30 rifles" was the prevailing ethos of the day (and in some circles, still is).
The cartridge the Armalite rifle was chambered for was the ".222 Special," a case halfway between the .22 Rem. and the .222 Rem. Mag. It also split the difference between them in velocity. The Army, recognizing an opportunity, first accepted the velocity as sufficient. Then they upped the stakes and insisted on better and better down-range performance. Basically, they kept asking until they had exceeded the pressure limits of the .222 Special. But the problem is that pressure is not simply velocity-dependant. Still, the designers had managed to meet the velocity specs, and the rifle was adopted.
I have now, in less than 700 words, summarized years of work, 100,000 man-hours of engineering, manufacturing and range testing, and we've only begun.

Russell Brand's help for homeless man
Comedian RUSSELL BRAND showed off his charitable side by taking a homeless man to his apartment in Los Angeles for a bath and a hot meal.
The Get Him to the Greek star was photographed leaving a yoga session in L.A. when he noticed the topless man sitting on a sidewalk and offered to help him out.
The man, identified only as 'Thomas', told Brand he wanted a burger, but the funnyman insisted on taking him home to cook him a more nutritious meal.
An onlooker tells The Sun, "This guy Thomas was in a bad way. He'd been lying on the floor and talking to himself. On leaving the studio in his car, Russell noticed him there and was parked and out of the vehicle in no time to help. He asked the guy his name and what was wrong.
"I heard him offer to take him for some food. Thomas said he wanted a burger, to which Russell replied, 'You don't want any of that c**p, come to my house and you can have some proper food and a nice bath'."

Welcome to the six hundred and thirteenth of my blog interviews with novelists, poets, short story authors, biographers, agents, publishers and more. Today's is with non-fiction author and poet Dorothy K Fletcher. A list of interviewees (blogged and scheduled) can be found here. If you like what you read, please do go and investigate further.
Morgen: Hello, Dorothy. Please tell us something about yourself, where you're based, and how you came to be a writer.
Dorothy: I have lived the bulk of my 62 years in Jacksonville, Florida. The experiences I have had and the connections that I have made as an educator have helped me immensely in furthering my writing career. My most recent books have been local histories about the 50s and 60s in Jacksonville. They were put out by The History Press, a company located in South Carolina and London.
Morgen: Topography is incredibly popular. My aunt's written seven books about her town, actually not that far from London. 🙂 With your non-fiction, how do you decide what to write about?
Dorothy: Most of the time, I will have a lingering image from my childhood or youth and then I begin researching the event that is behind the image. Usually, I head for the main library and go through the microfilms of The Florida Times Union or the now-closed Jacksonville Journal. After that, I start calling people for interviews and then, as things are revealed, I start a "retelling" which includes all of the elements I remembered and I have discovered.
Morgen: I used to do in-person or Skype interviews and really enjoyed them, although they were time-consuming. I can get to do one a day via email (and there are plenty of authors wanting to be interviewed… I'm booked up to July!) but it was great actually getting to meet / speak to people. What have you had published to-date?
Dorothy: Besides numerous poems and articles, I have published 5 books. They are:
- The Week of Dream Horses, a children's book, with Green Tiger Press (1984)
- The Cruelest Months, a novel about my teaching experiences in an inner city school in Jacksonville, with Xlibris (2002)
- Zen Fishing and Other Southern Pleasures, a collection of essays and poems about life in the South, with Ocean Publishing, (2005)
- Remembering Jacksonville: By the Wayside, a collection of essays written for the Florida Times Union, (2010)
- Growing Up Jacksonville: A 50s and 60s River City Childhood, a memoir about my Jacksonville childhood influences, (2012)
Morgen: I spotted Xlibris so you've self-published, what lead to you going your own way?
Dorothy: Yes, my second book was self-published. After many rejections, I was finally being championed by a young editor at Thomas Dunne, an imprint of St. Martin's Press. Of course, after I revised the manuscript to suit them, it took almost a year for them to recommend another revision, which I did. I waited another year to be told a different rewrite was necessary. They wanted me to abandon my basic format because I used quotations from classics to open each chapter. I think there was concern over copyrights or fees that needed to be paid to use the quotations. At that point, I said no.
I have done very well on my own. I have sold over 1100 copies, quite good for a self-pub, and the book is now being used as a college text in an introduction to teaching class at Florida State College in Jacksonville. (It is interesting that my book has to be kept behind the counter because it has a tendency to be stolen—go figure. I suppose you could say I have arrived as a writer when people feel sufficiently compelled to steal my books).
In the teaching community, I have received many supportive comments about the book and its accurate depiction of teaching. I am afraid that traditional publishers in New York haven't a clue what goes on in classrooms all over America, so they saw very limited possibilities for my book.
Just as a side note, I did get permissions from all living writers or the heirs of dead ones to use non-public domain quotations. I even paid Toni Morrison's organization $35.00 and two copies of my book to use a piece of her The Bluest Eye. I think concerns over such things revealed a lack of publishing knowledge on the part of Thomas Dunne's organization.
Morgen: It must be so thrilling to have your books used in classes – I think an aspiration of any author. It's true you have to be careful about quoting other works but if they were 'classics', you'd probably find they were out of copyright and in the public domain already. Are all your books available as eBooks? Do you read eBooks or is it paper all the way?
Dorothy: Remembering Jacksonville is available as an ebook, and Growing Up Jacksonville will be within a few months. And as for ebook or paper, I can honestly say that I do both. I have a Kindle and love the ease with which I am able to read lying down. I also love being able to enlarge the fonts so that I do not need glasses. Still, I love reading books, flipping the pages, and cuddling up on the sofa with one. I love that I am in an age when both are possible.
Morgen: I can probably count on one hand the authors who've said they only read eBooks. I love the Kindle app on my iPad (and my books are only available as eBooks so I rely on those who do read them :)). Did you choose the titles / covers of your books? How important do you think they are?

An Overview
This page was constructed by Andrew (Andy) Lambert of
Fareham nr. Portsmouth, England I am lucky in being able to trace my branch of the family's history, back
to around the year 1,000. I was born in London during the forties, grew up
around the Wandsworth / Putney area with my brother Geoff, then
worked and lived around the Kingston / Weybridge area, until moving to
the Portsmouth area. I am very much a beginner when it comes to genealogy, however
I have been able (with lots of help) to ascertain a lot about my families past
and have traced my line back to 900 AD

A Brief History for people with text only browsers.
These pages were constructed by me
Andy Lambert,
primarily to assist other Lamberts, who are researching their branch of the
family's history. I am lucky in being able to trace my branch of the family's
history, back to around the year 900. Of course there are many large gaps
which I am still filling in.
My father was born at Barking in the 'East End' of London where
Granddad had settled after coming across from Ireland. Granddad arrived
with little money, but worked until he had enough to bring his seven sisters
to England.
Click here for a family picture Granddad is on the left and my father is
on the right. Some of Granddad's seven sisters can also be seen.
Granddad's great granddad had owned
Castle Lambert
- Athenry Galway. Owning much land and many magnificent homes, the
family had prospered since it had arrived in Ireland from Yorkshire some five
generations before. The Yorkshire home had been the village of
Calton nr. Skipton.
It was here that the most famous Lambert -
General John Lambert (of Calton House) was born, He was at times:- An
escapee from the Tower of London. The man who introduced the
Guernsey Lily to the island of Guernsey. One of Oliver Cromwell's
best Major Generals, and for a short while, the second most powerful man in
Before these, it seems my ancestors had crossed to England with William
The Conquer, fighting at the battle of Hastings. Prior to this, they had
been land owners in Normandy having originally arrived there as Viking
Raiders around 940 AD. The last Lambert I can get back to is Lambert
the 1st Count of Mons. It is rumoured that the Lambert line can be traced
all the way to Mark Anthony via Boadicea, Old King Cole and a
whole load of Kings of Europe... but that might take some proving.
Of course this is the Lambert Male Line, we have a habit of marrying
well. On the female side for example: My 22nd Granddad was King Edward the
1st, Plantagenet King of England. which of course means my 23rd Granddad
is King Philippe of France (but lets not talk about that!).
have compiled a database of the Lamberts I have details on, they are mostly
Irish and English with a little French. You may wish to
search it yourself and so I have loaded a copy on to the website.
Important:- please read the warning notice on the
first page of the dbase, if you are going to use it.
It is my hope to keep adding to the file so if you have any information on
the ENGLISH / IRISH Lambert families please send it to me. If it is in file
format, then Gedcom, would be nice. I use Generations 8 from Sierra On-Line.
It is that program that produced and maintains the searchable dbase mentioned
above. Sadly it is no longer sold by Sierra
The Lambert Family Crest shown left, was sent to me by Jacqueline Lambert
of Palmetto USA. Her aunt Rosa had the crest painted around 1960 by an artist
in Hendersonville, North Caroline. It can truly said to be "the" Lambert
family coat of arms, as it is an amalgamation of many designs used by
different branches of the family.
You can see elements of the Calton, Essex, Galway, London and Wessex lines.
If any heraldry experts reading this feel they could help further, I would be
pleased to hear from them.
First a warning
As was said before, these pages were constructed primarily to assist other
Lamberts, who are researching their branch of the family's history. The
accuracy of that information is of course always questionable, as much has
come from sources that cannot always be validated. Therefore please accept it
for what it is and use it for a bases of your own research.

Angels' Jered Weaver No-Hits Twins
Jered Weaver pitched the second no-hitter in the majors in less than two weeks, completely overmatching Minnesota and leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 9-0 win over the Twins on Wednesday night.
Weaver struck out nine and walked one. The Twins never came close to getting a hit against the All-Star right-hander.
Phil Humber of the Chicago White Sox threw a perfect game against Seattle on April 21.
Weaver (4-0), a California native who played at Long Beach State, quickly retired Jamey Carroll on a routine fly and struck out Denard Span looking to begin the ninth.
Weaver then got Alexi Casilla to lift a long fly that right fielder Torii Hunter easily caught at the warning track. The Angels' ace watched his Gold Glove outfielder make the play, then put his hands on his head as the Angels rushed out to mob him.
His gem complete, Weaver hugged his wife, his dad and his mom, who was crying on the field.
"I'm at a loss for words right now. It hasn't kicked in yet," Weaver said. "Thank you for all your support. Couldn't have done it without the defense. The guys were picking me up left and right.
This was the second Angels no-hitter in less than a year -- Ervin Santana pitched one July 27 at Cleveland.
