Vale of Eternal Blossoms, a zone for max-level players, is home to eight of the rare champions of Pandaria. Just like in previous zones, there are one of each type (Pandaren, Mantid, Saurok, etc.) and they all count toward the achievement Glorious! Being the final (and therefore highest level) zone, these rares hit harder and have more health than any of the ones I've covered yet.
The rares in this zone are all level 91, with health pools a little over 4M. They each have a 100% chance to drop an item level 440 bop cloak with random stats and a small chance to drop a Small Bag of Goods. They also each have a chance to drop some very fun vanity items, or some useful items as well. Each of the items they can drop are listed below next to the rare that drops it. You can also see some screenshots of each of these items in action in this post: Sneak Peak: Special drops from Rare Champions of Pandaria.
As I have stated in a previous post - many of them seem to spawn in around the same time, so if you run across a corpse or someone else fighting one of these rares it wouldn't hurt to check the rest of the spawn points to see if any others are up.
Also note that many of the rares in this zone are affected by phasing. If you can't see Ai-Ran, Major Nanners, Mold One-Eye, Urgolax or Kang it's because you haven't done the opening quest line to unlock the Golden Lotus dailies This quest line starts in Kun-Lai Summit at the Temple of the White Tiger with the quests Temple of the White Tiger (Alliance) or Temple of the White Tiger (Horde). Following these quest lines will open the gates into the Vale and eventually change the phase so that you will be able to see all of these rares.

Ai-Ran can be found meditating in the small cave just east of Mistfall Village beneath the Tu Shen Burial Ground.
Like other Pandaren Ai-Ran's three abilities are Chi Burst, Healing Mists and Spinning Crane Kick. The most important thing to know when taking him down is to interrupt Healing Mists, and run away from Spinning Crane Kick. Ranged players should also stand within 15 yards of him to avoid his Chi Burst which deals some pretty massive damage.
Ai-Ran has a small chance to drop Essence of the Breeze. This is a curious item that when used will give you a ten minute buff called Gentle Breeze. While under the effect of this buff, each time you jump you will be propelled a few yards forward. One great use for this item is untangling the plants on your farm much more quickly!
Kal'tik the Blight (Mantid)
Kal'tik spawns in the middle of Jin Yang Road, just in front of the gate heading into Dread Wastes. He is completely surrounded by hostile mobs, but can be pulled away without aggroing them using a ranged attack.
Kal'tik has three abilities to be aware of: Blade Flurry, Tornado and Windsong. Tornado and Blade Flurry are the abilities to watch out for. The tornado will move around and deal massive damage to anyone it strikes. Blade Flurry should be avoided at all costs, it's casted as a cone in front of him and will pretty much destroy most people who stand in it.
Kal'tik has a small chance to drop Bottled Tornado. When used this item will propel you into the air, it can also help prevent falling damage if used at the correct time. Unfortunately this item's major flaw is that it is a trinket, so it would need to be equipped before actually falling.
Moldo One-Eye (Saurok)
Moldo One-Eye patrols along the eastern river bank heading toward Whitepetal Lake.
Moldo's abilities are: Grappling Hook, Vanish, Smoked Blade and Vicious Rend. The most important of his abilities to watch out for is Smoked Blade. He will use this right after he breaks out of stealth. This ability can be avoided by either using an aoe ability while he's in stealth to break him out of it early, or by not letting him stealth in the first place. You will have a moment to hit him just before he disappears. If he does vanish entirely, get ready to use some defensive cool-downs.
Moldo has a small chance to drop the Panflute of Pandaria. This is one of my favorite type of items in game - relatively useless, but totally fun. When used near critters it will cause them to follow you for 15 minutes. Now you CAN have an army of small pets!
Urgolax (Mogu Warrior)
Urgolax spawns at The Golden Stair in the northern part of the zone. This is a very high-traffic area because it is where the first leg of Golden Lotus dailies take place every day. He doesn't usually last long once spawned in.
Urgolax uses three different abilities, those are: Devastating Arc, Summon Quilen and Titanic Strength. Devastating Arc is the ability to look out for here. It's a frontal attack that deals massive damage. Melee can simply run behind him and ranged shouldn't have much trouble moving out of the way. He periodically summons a Quilen add that does little damage. It can be cc'd or ignored.
Urgolax has a small chance to drop Chalice of Secrets. This item is pretty amusing. If you use it within 10 seconds of killing another player your character will be transformed into a Mogu and you'll do a funny little "kiss off" in their direction.
Kang the Soul Thief (Mogu Sorcerer)
Kang spawns in Autumnshade Ridge near two tents. There are also 2-3 adds nearby. It may be a good idea to focus down the adds before taking on Kang, as they deal some pretty decent damage.
Kang the Soul Thief only has a couple of abilities to be aware of. Those are Shadowbolt and Voidcloud. Shadowbolt deals a moderate amount of damage and can be interrupted. Voidcloud hurts, it appears as a dark purple area on the ground and is VERY easy to notice and move out of.
Kang has a small chance to drop Kang's Bindstone. This item will give you a ten minute buff that will make your character and any mounts you ride look grey in color. Of course, it's main purpose though is to give you a chance upon getting a killing blow to turn the enemy's corpse to stone. This thing works on bosses, players, critters, you name it. It's a whole lotta fun. =)
Yorik Sharpeye (Yaungol)
Yorik spawns directly north of Shrine of Seven Stars. He sits with a treasure chest and a tiny boat under a tree just below the waterfall.
Yorik's abilities are: Bellowing Rage, Rushing Charge and Yaungol Stomp. Yaungol stomp does some heavy damage, but the range is small - so it's easy to move away from. Bellowing rage you need to be aware of. He deals a lot more damage when this buff is up, combined with Rushing Charge the results can be devastating. When he uses Bellowing Rage, he will be slowed though - so it is possible to just run out of striking range until the buff wears off.
Yorik has a small chance to drop one of my favorite vanity items, Mr. Smite's Brass Compass. This item will transform your character into Mr. Smite himself for ten minutes! On use (in Mr. Smite's voice) your character will yell: "You there! Check out that noise!" Your character will also occasionally yell out other familiar phrases during combat. You can still mount while under the effects of this item as well.
Sahn Tidehunter (Jinyu)
Sahn and his dead crab Carapin have been moved in patch 5.3 to the northern pond next to Mogu'shan Palace. I have a screenshot of him at his new location in this post.
Sahn has three abilities, they are: Rain Dance, Torrent and Water Bolt. The absolute most important thing you need to know when fighting him is to interrupt Torrent! If not interrupted, this spell will kill his main target. Rain dance hurts, but it is survivable. The rain droplets can be moved away from, this spell can also be interrupted (but I like to save my interrupts for Torrent because of cool-downs).
Sahn has a small chance to drop Aqua Jewel. This item will allow you to breathe underwater for 10 minutes and increase your swim speed by 50%. This isn't all this item does though - while under it's effects your character will become practically invisible (similar to a hunter's camouflage). Your mounts will also take on the effect, and it will not break in combat.
Major Nanners (Hozen)
Major Nanners spawns high up on a hill by the pond south of Mistfall Village. He is surrounded by elite hozen with 1181k hp. I highly recommend clearing out a few of these guys before engaging him.
Major Nanners' abilities are: Bananarang, Going Bananas and Toss Filth. Bananarang deals a hefty amount of damage, just move to the side to get out of it's path. Going Bananas is the ability he uses that can be the killer. He jumps around, and if he lands on you it'll knock out over half of your health in one shot. It's rather difficult to avoid this, be ready for some defensive cd's and/or heals.
Major Nanners has a small chance to drop Helpful Wikky's Whistle. This item is pretty neat. Upon use, a small hozen will be summoned to your side. You have a short window to interact with him and ask him to forage for you. He will then run off and you will be left with the buff Helpful Wikky for two hours. After killing a certain number of mobs Wikky will reappear and you can interact with him again. This time he will give you a Bag of Helpful Things. This bag can contain all sorts of goodies including elixirs, potions, motes of harmony, etc.

We hear criticism about our public school system across America. It does have many problems that need to be corrected.
I feel it's time to let the administrators and teachers run the schools. The parents should back them and see that discipline is carried out.
I still believe in "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Paddling administered properly, not in anger, in the elementary and junior high schools is of huge benefit. The teacher should have a witness and it should be done out in the hallway, where the class cannot see.
It is amazing to see the difference in the student and how the class learns from that.
These days, the average parent doesn't want the school to discipline his or her child. The liberal philosophy has taken over and they want to call it abuse, which it is not.
Often when a parent is called about a child's absence, the parent covers for him or her. This is done because the parent has lost control at home, or the parent does not want to be humiliated by the possibility that his or her child is skipping school.
When a parent is called concerning a student's behavior, the parent rather would oppose the school, because it is easier than opposing the child over whom control has been lost.
We should return to the policy of the principal backing the teacher and the higher administrators backing the principal. The parent should back the teacher.
In previous days, parents would administer discipline at home if their child got in trouble at school. Today, schools have to worry about lawsuits and threatened lawsuits.
I speak from my experience of 30 years as a teacher and guidance counselor in the Ohio public schools.

Rule 661. Form of Writ
The following form of writ may be used:
"The State of Texas.
To E. F., Garnishee, greeting:
Whereas, in the . . . . . . . . . . Court of . . . . . . . County (if a justice court, state also the number of the precinct), in a certain cause wherein A. B. is plaintiff and C. D. is defendant, the plaintiff, claiming an indebtedness against the said C. D. of
. . . . . . . . . dollars, besides interest and costs of suit, has applied for a writ of garnishment against you, E. F.; therefore you are hereby commanded to be and appear before said court at . . . . . . . . in said county (if the writ is issued from the county or district court, here proceed: "at ten o'clock a. m. on the Monday next following the expiration of twenty days from the date hereof, the same being the . . . . . . . . day of . . . . . . ., 19 . . . . ." If the writ is issued from a justice of the peace court, here proceed: "at the next term thereof, to be held on the . . . . . day of . . . . . . . . . . 19 . . . . ." In either event, proceed as follows:) "then and there to answer upon oath what, if anything, you are indebted to the said C. D., and were when this writ was served upon you, and what effects, if any, of the said C. D. you have in your possession, and had when this writ was served and what other persons, if any, within your knowledge, are indebted to the said C. D. or have effects belonging to him in their possession"; (and if the garnishee be an incorporated or joint stock company, in which the defendant is alleged to be the owner of shares or interested therein, the writ shall proceed:) "and further to answer what number of shares, if any, the said C. D. owns in such company, and owned when such writ was served. Herein fail not, but make due answer as the law directs."
Source: Art. 4081.
Change: Writ directed to the garnishee instead of to the officer, and return date in district and county courts changed.
Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941.
Sept. 20, 1941, eff. Dec. 31, 1941
Aug. 18, 1947, eff. Dec. 31, 1947
July 11, 1977, eff. Jan. 1, 1978
(No. 6) Question: Is a Writ of Garnishment which was issued out of the District or County Court on September 20, 1941, invalid and subject to a Motion to Quash because it is directed to the sheriff or a constable of the county and made returnable to the first day of the next term of court?
Answer: The answer to this question might be either yes or no, depending upon the circumstances. Rules 659 and 661 took effect on September 1, 1941, and they provide that the Writ of Garnishment should be directed to the garnishee and should be made returnable at or before 10 o'clock in the morning of the Monday next following the expiration of twenty days from the date the Writ was served. Inasmuch as the matter is now controlled by rule instead of by statute, and inasmuch as the avowed purpose and intention of the rules is to attain justice between the parties and not to base decisions upon technicality, it should not be held that the irregularities necessarily invalidate the Writ. If the garnishee in fact appeared in court and was in no way prejudiced by the improper direction and return date of the Writ, and if it would work injustice to require strict compliance with the rules in said respect, then under Rules 679 and 814 and under the general discretionary powers of the Court it would be proper to uphold the validity of the Writ. On the other hand, if the circumstances were such as to indicate that the enforcement of the Writ embodying said irregularities would result in an injustice being done, then it would be proper to quash the Writ.
What is said above about Rule 679 would of course, depend upon whether the error here was "clerical," and we feel, under the circumstances of the situation at hand, that it was; and what is said, next, about Rule 814 is conditioned upon the pendency of the action at the time the Rules went into effect.
We desire to stress particularly what we have characterized as the purpose and intention of the new Rules. It is, as we have said, to obtain justice, and is expressed or implied in Rules 1, 370, 434, and 503. It is implemented by Rule 817, for the interpretation of which see Franki's Vernon's Texas Rules of Civil Procedure; The Hudson, 15 F. 162, 175 (S.D.N.Y. 1883); and The Alert, 40 F. 836 (S.D.N.Y. 1889). It is, also, particularly advanced by the doctrine of Stephens v. Herron, 99 Tex. 63, 87 S.W. 326 (1905), that rules of court unlike statutes "are not inflexible" and that if a particular procedure is dependent upon rules as distinguished from statutes, it is "competent for the court so to adapt its exercise as to prevent any particular oppression and to make it yield to the particular circumstances of the case." This doctrine is applied and thoroughly established by the following additional authorities: Mills v. Bagby, 4 Tex. 320 (1849); State v. Scranton Indep. County Line Sch. Dist., 285 S.W. 601, 603 (Tex. Comm'n App. 1926); Albritton v. Commerce Farm Credit Co., 9 S.W.2d 193, 198 (Tex. Civ. App.-Waco 1928); Clifton v. W. T. Thompson & Sons Lumber Co., 100 S.W.2d 392, 394 (Tex. Civ. App.-Waco 1937); Alexander v. Alexander, 100 S.W.2d 420, 421 (Tex. Civ. App.-Waco 1937); Sewell v. Lake Charles Planing Mill Co., 253 S. W. 892 (Tex. Civ. App.-San Antonio 1923); and see Wright v. Traders & Gen. Ins. Co ., 132 Tex. 172, 123 S.W.2d 314 (1939); Silliman v. Gano, 90 Tex. 637, 39 S.W. 559 (1897); and Ashford v. Goodwin, 103 Tex. 491, 131 S.W. 535 (1910).

Finding God in an Unseen Sunrise
Betsy Purner
Last year I was working in the Philippines for the Jesuit study abroad program called Casa Bayanihan and we had taken the students to get away for a three day silent retreat at a beautiful retreat house on the Laguna de Bay. I was particularly looking forward to spending time near the water and experiencing God in the surrounding nature. I am originally from San Diego, California and have grown accustomed to seeing spectacular and awe-inspiring sunsets and have even on occasion been fortunate enough to spot the elusive "green flash." I consider these moments to be glimpses into God because of their beauty and the peace that seems to exude from a setting sun. Something that weekend, however, was calling me to the other end of the day and encouraging me to seek out a sunrise. I had often heard about the beauty of sunrises and all the colors that fill the sky, but had never gotten up early enough with the intention of watching a sunrise. I spoke with the manager of the retreat house and she advised me to wake up around five in order to see the full sunrise.
I like to consider myself a "morning person," yet there was something about that early wake up call that made me question whether a sunset, which is at a totally reasonable hour, would be enough to experience God. Still, I persisted and set my alarm clock for five a.m. and groggily got out of bed around 5:07. I walked over to our meeting room and saw one of the men sweeping off the porch and whistling a happy tune that I didn't recognize. Surely, this was a sign that I had made the right decision in getting up. When he saw me he smiled and told me that there was coffee inside and offered me a cup, which I took to be another sign of the good things to come. Once I had poured myself a cup of coffee, I walked out onto the dock next to our meeting room that extended about fifty yards into the bay. At the end of the dock were three little huts with benches that I figured I could sit on as I watched the sun rise over the bay.
I settled in, cup of coffee in hand and began to pray in the darkness. I gave thanks for the retreat, for the beautiful location, and for the people I was with. I asked God to be with me as I struggled with the severe injustices and poverty that I was encountering in the Philippines. I asked God to guide me in my actions to best accompany those in my community. I prayed that I feel consoled and inspired by the sunrise and that it help me to feel connected to my family and friends back home who were still in the middle of their day. The prayers went on and on and I felt very peaceful just looking out at the city skyline beyond the bay and listening to the water splash around the posts of the dock. As I was gazing over the water towards Manila and the dozens of high rises along the skyline, I realized that everything around me had become a little bit lighter. I searched the horizon for the yellow circle of the sun but could not locate it anywhere, and yet everything around me looked as though the sun had indeed already risen.
Now, I continued to look for longer than I would like to admit before finally realizing the problem: I had been looking the wrong way the whole time. I slowly turned around and there was the sun, already completely risen over the hills on the other side of the bay. My first reaction was true disappointment. I felt jipped. I wanted to see the sun and the colors around her as she rose over the skyline. I wanted to lose my breath in the beauty and be struck by God's great goodness. I wanted the moment, the picture, the story of how I found God in the most beautiful of sunrises. Suffice it to say I didn't get what I wanted, but after some reflection I realized that I had actually experienced something much more realistic and poignant for my faith journey.
Sometimes I set out with the best intention yet desiring a very specific outcome. Most of the time I find myself facing the completely wrong direction and I "miss" whatever it was I thought I desired. Yet, just as the sun illuminated all that was around me even though I never saw her, so too does God touch everything in my life without me even realizing God is there. I woke up early the following day, this time facing the right direction, and I saw truly the most beautiful sunrise I could have ever imagined. It was everything I had been told and even more and there was no doubt in my mind that God had created it. Still, I continued to think back to the previous morning and felt even more grateful that I had been able to experience God in a much less grand way because then I knew that I didn't have to be on a retreat or in a beautiful location to feel God's presence. I pray that my experience of the unseen sunrise continues to touch my heart and inspire me to find God in all of the miraculous and the even more numerous yet totally average moments of each and every day.

Los Angeles: Actress Kate Winslet says life is an uphill task for single mothers as the society is judgemental about them.
Winslet has two children - Mia, 12, and Joe, 9, from her previous marriages to Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes respectively.
The actress, who is now married to Ned Rocknroll, is expecting their first child and says life has taken her down many times, reports contactmusic.com.
"Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this. My life has taken me down several different paths I never expected it to take me down. Not in a million years. And I know the true meaning of getting by, by the skin of my teeth. I do," Time Out magazine quoted Winslet as saying.
However, the actress, who is expecting her first child with Rocknroll, says one has to move on in life.
"It doesn't matter whether you've got money, whether you're famous or not. You have to carry on. And you can, because you have to," she said.

Ok, first of all - Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good holiday season and as we say in Swiss German "E guete Rutsch" (a good slide) into the new year!
The past two months have been a little slow on my blog. I did get some sewing done, but mostly presents, which I cannot reveal until they are given to the people, so we will just have to wait a bit.
Remember how I told you here that I love to sew with fleece? Well, I made myself a skirt out of the left over fabric from Littleheart's fleece coat.
This is a cute and easy skirt I can wear with leggings and boots. It was so fun and fast to make, I whipped up two more for my sister and cousin!
Cut out two of your pattern pieces on the fold.
Cut a piece of thick elastic to fit your waist. You want the elastic to be a bit shorter than the top of your skirt piece times 2, but not much shorter, because you do not want the fleece to ruffle too much, it would be too thick.
Make them in all different colors!
See you next time!
P.s. See my kumquat tree behind me? Does anybody have a good recipe for kumquats? I have NO idea what to do with them!
I will be linking up to some of the link parties on this page .

No, I'm not stuttering. This story began last winter when I met our new next door neighbors.
Occasionally our neighborhood goes out for dinner to catch up on everyone and everything. The stranger sitting next to me was Robin Sorrell. She and her husband were the new neighbors on the block. I was casually talking to another friend when she overheard me say we had recently purchased a houseboat. Well, the conversation came alive then. She informed us they also had a boat on the same lake as ours, just at another marina. They had a cruiser, but what she really wanted was a houseboat. As soon as we realized we had so much in common we were finishing each other's sentences. Obviously she had read and researched everything possible about them. Her favorite pastime was to check online, Boat Trader, craigslist, newspapers and networking by word of mouth.
As months went by, Robin and her husband Gerald continuously looked for the perfect match. They wanted one with character and not modern or new. I noticed the houseboat across the dock from ours was not abused, just never used. It was very nice from the exterior, but I never saw anyone there. No one can tell a book from its cover and therefore I had no idea of its interior condition.
I asked our marina manager who owned this houseboat and if it was for sale. To make a long story short, we reached the owner and he was interested in selling it. Robin is retired from the police department and her husband Lt. Gerald Sorrell is with the Memorial Village Police Department in Houston, Texas. The owner of the houseboat was a retired officer, so this was a true sign and their omen that it was meant to be.
As soon as they took possession of their 1988 42-foot Gibson they got to work. Robin wanted it to appear as a captain's quarters. Wallpaper was applied over the water damaged paneling and they removed the original built-in seating and put in a sleeper sofa. Also, they included a comfortable leather chair and even a recliner. A wall mount television was hung above the helm, which obviously has to be in a captain's quarters for today's captain and guests. The 25-year-old carpet was removed and replaced with new flooring and of course every houseboat needs a fireplace. Robin used an electric fireplace insert and installed it into the wall which was a closet before. Trim molding was applied to give it the appearance that it was original. On winter days and nights it really puts out enough heat to warm the entire cabin and gives the ambiance of a cozy captain's quarters.
Most of the work was cosmetic, but there had been an undiagnosed water leak as it had sat in the slip so long through the winter months. A new water tank was built and installed and the old fuel needed to be pumped out as to not damage the twin Crusaders. A little tweaking, maintenance and a lot of thought and love and decorating went into Gerald and Robin's houseboat, so now they are officially HBOs (houseboat owners).
The majority of the time their grown kids are day visitors and there's not much need for many beds. They sleep in the underneath berths and have optional sleeping quarters on their hide-a-bed. After brainstorming and thinking outside the box, Robin decided to remove the full bed in the rear of the boat and transform it into a dining room. All the furniture can fold up in minutes and an air bed can be very accommodating for guests. It is an ideal solution to make the most use of a houseboat's limited space. Now they can dine and watch the boats pass by in their comfortable new air-conditioned dining room (naturally with a chandelier) or opt to dine outside on their rear deck.
Of course being in Texas the original name stayed the same. No one can say TEXAS TRADITION is being neglected now. As soon as they purchased it, the new "baby" was pampered and received a good washing and a professional polishing. It now has an under-the-cover slip and looks like it just came off the showroom floor. We can now say we have our good friends as our neighbor, neighbors!

Tiff's Genealogy Adventure
Sunday, October 31, 2010
Sentimental Sunday
It has been awhile since I posted as life has gotten in the way. I have been slowly working on my genealogy projects however. I will write about those in the days to come. For my sentimental Sunday I am going to write about my Uncle Ed. He passed away last month. I considered Ed to be the storyteller of the family. He could tell you all sorts of family stories and I was lucky enough to get some of them on tape while he was still here. How much truth is in them is still left to tell, but that is with any family story, as any genealogist can tell you. I do know how proud he was of his children and family. He talked about them often. He also had a big love for his dogs!! We shared lots of those type of stories. I remember visiting Uncle Ed when he was married to Ozella in Springfield, MO. They had horses and lots of other animals. I especially remember they had 2 crows and they were in the house! He let us help pull water out from a well and we took lots of pictures that are engrained in my memory. He moved closer to our family and we seen more of him. We helped him with his house repairs when he first moved in and I spent some time with his horses. He then got to the point where he just couldn't do anymore. What he did do was paint and write. He was extremely talented. In his later years however, he did become more lonely and he drank a lot. I would spend time with him when he wasn't drinking and that's the Uncle I want to remember. When I go back to transcribe his interview, I will share more stories, but for now I will leave it at this and just say, Uncle Ed, we sure do miss you!

It's always so difficult with these HoseMaster pulp (cap) fiction stories to decide what my favorite line is. There are sooooo many to choose from! But--if I had to choose, it's: "Crystal was better endowed than Stanford University, and had probably received as many incoming freshmen." That's classic. That's HoseMaster!
It's funny too how whenever I start reading one of these Harlem Nocture starts playing in my head! Why is that?
Waiting eagerly for chapter 4!

Marcia Love,
That's funny, Marcia, when I write them I hear "It's A Small World" in my head. But, then, that's been in my head for thirty years now. And virtually nothing else.
Thanks for sticking with my Pulp Fiction nonsense. I may be writing Chapter Four tomorrow. I wish I knew what the hell I was doing.
- April 12, 2012 at 5:51 PM
- Thomas said...
You tell Cristal for me that Mumm's the word.
And yes, I agree with Marcia: that Stanford line is right up there near the top. "harder than a barrel of Madiran" was close.

It's always odd for me to reread these chapters about three weeks after I wrote them. Most of the jokes surprise me even though I wrote them.
My favorite line, since that seems to be the theme so far, is
"She pressed herself against me; it was a very gentle press, and I was briefly fearful I'd release some free run juice."
Stupid to have a favorite joke you wrote yourself, but there it is.
- April 12, 2012 at 7:15 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
I liked the "so three feet under" bit best. Just in case you were keeping track.
- April 12, 2012 at 8:17 PM
The "free run juice" line was my favorite too.
I'm glad I discovered this blog. The wine industry needs some humor.
- April 12, 2012 at 9:49 PM
- Thomas said...
Oh, this is humor? I thought it was a real case that Humphrey Hosemaster took on from his Union Street office, and that we would soon find out that his partner had been rubbed out by a stray Champagne cork that made its way from under a trench coat when it was pushed by an overzealous Cristal lover with vivid imaginings and rising capacities.

'Bout time we got some "fiction noir" around these parts. Or is it "fiction nero"? Actually, let's go with "spätfiction"...
- April 13, 2012 at 7:14 AM

My Gorgeous Samantha,
Yeah, midget jokes always kill. I may have to bring back Fugly and Tiny again. I miss those guys.
No need to be anonymous, but thanks for commenting. I'm glad you discovered this blog, too, I just wish I hadn't.
I steal jokes, not plots. And are there still Cristal lovers? I thought it was all about Moscato now.
Hey SubHuman Wino,
Where you been? In honor of my beloved Gruner, I prefer "smaragdfiction." After all, it stinks just as badly.
- April 13, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Somehow, Larry Anosmia was one of my favorite characters. An MS candidate, turned MW candidate who has no ability to smell the wine is just too rich. sorry to see him go, but that is how it is with MS and MW candidates.
Its amazing how many candidates there are and how they sling around their candidacy like it was some kind of accomplishment.
Hell, at that level, I am a major league centerfielder.
So many good lines this time out. Three feet under and welcome more freshmen than Stanford are my faves.
- April 13, 2012 at 6:14 PM
- Ron Washam, HMW said...
I guess the whole fun of my pulp fiction classics is killing off various MS and MW types. I had a fondness for Larry Anosmia too, one that parallels my fondness for Avril Cadavril. But I hope there will future characters to know and love and kill.
Is that free run juice, or are you just happy to see me?
- April 13, 2012 at 6:26 PM
- Dean Tudor said...
I dunno...you're going up against Garrison Keillor and his Gamay Noir character.
But then, you have a wider audience and do not have repeated performances. Coming once is enough for your 4.5 peter....

Calvin Walker trial Thursday, Dec. 8
The trial of BISD contract electrician Calvin Walker continued Thursday, Dec. 8, at 8:30 a.m.
Returning to the stand was FBI agent Tim Brewer, who executed a search warrant on Walker's home in 2010. He testified as to evidence collected from the residence before prosecutors called a document analyst to explain to the jury the significance of the materials collected during the seizure of items from Walker's home and business.
Gregg Mokrzycki from the FBI document analysis lab was called to the stand and told jurors the documents he examined were obviously produced using more than one type of printing process per document, which he said only occurs in instances such as the "cut and paste" method of altering documents as outlined in earlier testimony.
Jurors also heard from a former employee of Calvin Walker. The electrician, Jerry Jones, was listed as being paid more than $30,000 by Walker in 2009, although Jones said he only received about $700 in all of 2009.
Prosecutors will call their next witness at 1:15 p.m.
Before breaking for lunch in the Beaumont federal court case against Calvin Walker of Walker's Electric, who's charged with bilking taxpayers for millions via BISD, the prosecution called its fourth witness, a third employee of Summit Electrical Supply in Beaumont named Johnathan Lyle.
Lyle, when taking the stand, told the court that in 2009 he became the service representative primarily assisting Walker. Lyle said he came into that position after Toby Trahan left the company. In testimony, Trahan has been named the employee responsible for supplying Walker with inflated quotes later given to BISD.
Lyle was called to the witness stand after his co-worker, Chris Rybacki, was excused on his second day of testimony. Rybacki was instructed to not talk to anyone about the current court proceedings other than attorneys for the federal government or defendant Walker due to the fact he may be asked to return for questioning again during the trial.
The Examiner will update more on the courtroom happenings later this afternoon.
Wednesday, Dec. 7
The third day of testimony in the federal court case alleging Calvin Walker of Walker's Electric defrauded taxpayers and BISD began Dec. 7. Still on the stand from yesterday was Chris Rybacki of Summit Electrical Supply, the warehouse Walker reportedly purchased supplies from to complete numerous BISD projects.
Rybacki told the jury many of documents under review were obviously altered, using genuine Summit quotes and forging them onto paid invoices. In reality,Rybacki said under oath, one order examined by Rybacki showed Walker paid for a single screwdriver. BISD documents provided by the prosecution show Walker billed BISD for the invoice at more than $20,000. Other quotes that were never paid invoices to Summit were altered and forged with his signature as paid receipts, Rybacki said. All totaled, Walker purported to have paid "roughly $2.4 million," he said. Walker actually paid $432,789, less than a quarter of the amount billed to BISD before Walker then added 10 percent mark-up to the altered quote total.Defense attorney Dick DeGuerin is now cross-examining the witness. The Examiner will provide updates as they become available.
From Dec. 6 trial testimony...
As the second day of testimony came to a close, lawyers finished questioning Naomi Lawrence-Lee. Part of the new testimony solicited from the BISD purchasing agent detailed accounts from which Walker was paid for a series of contracts, including payments drafted from the maintenance department budget, capital funds and bond proceeds.
Also brought up in Lee's testimony was the fact that BISD continued to operate in a manner inconsistent with TEA bidding requirements when signing off on hundreds of thousands of dollars in contracts awarded without seeking independent bids. Just two invoiced and paid checks together totaled $1.7 million.
DeGuerin, electrical contractor Calvin Walker's defense attorney, finished questioning Lee by asking her to expand on documents that he said "look kind of funny." Those included electrician's names covered in "white out" on invoices submitted by Walker to BISD. He also drew her attention to the line items submitting payment for bucket truck rentals – trucks owned by Walker and rented to the district for his use in projects for thousands of dollars on multiple contracts.
"Maybe the contract didn't follow the rules," DeGuerin stated. But, according to him, BISD signed off on the project and project amount, so Walker perpetrated no fraud, as contended by the prosecution.
Federal Prosecutor Bob Rawls submitted, however, that an item in Walker's contract for the project materials "shall be billed at cost with a 10 percent markup."
The next witness to take the stand, Chris Rybacki, manager at Summit Electric Supply Co. Inc., expanded on how much Walker paid for materials since his company is the defendant's supplier of goods. Rybacki was well known to Walker, and had even been a reference for him on prior BISD jobs.
According to Rybacki, Walker only purchased a small fraction of the materials he claims to have purchased from Summit. U.S. Flag and Flagpole also submitted documentation stating their quote to Walker for materials was misrepresented. In one instance, U.S. Flag and Flagpole charged Walker $8,800 for materials. Walker's invoice to BISD claims the materials from that company cost $25,800. Walker then added an additional 10 percent to the total for his markup.
Judge Ron Clark, presiding over the trial, told counsel that in order to convict Walker of the counts lodged in the indictment, fraud must be proved. According to him, "Fraud is material misrepresentation."
The trial will resume Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 8:30 a.m. The Examiner will continue to offer updates as they become available.
Prior coverage....
Rounding out the morning's testimony in the federal prosecution of Calvin Walker was the questioning of BISD purchasing agent Naomi Lawrence-Lee.
Walker's defense attorney, Dick DeGuerin, cross examined Lee, who is the prosecution's second witness. Lee was asked questions related to BISD's maintenance contract with Walker and how the electrician was paid for services.
According to Lee, the scope of work under question was not part of the BISD board-approved contract, and it was her opinion that the work performed was new construction, not maintenance. She also admitted that this scope of work should have gone through the bidding process.
Additionally, Lee stated that Walker's contract with BISD stipulates he be paid from the approved budget of the maintenance department, and the work submissions under question were all paid from insurance proceeds related to Hurricane Ike.
Defense council addressed invoices and statements from Walker to BISD and asserted that money billed to the district was approved, at no fault of his client's, even if the amount seemed excessive to onlookers.
Read more this afternoon as the trial continues, beginning at 1:15 today.
And earlier ...
As Day 2 commenced in the Beaumont federal court case against Calvin Walker of Walker's Electric, the prosecution continued the questioning of Beaumont Independent School District purchasing agent Naomi Lawrence-Lee.
Walker is accused of bilking the school district by altering invoices and overcharging for materials and services. Lee was asked pointed questions referring to multiple invoices submitted to BISD for payment that reflected materials used for different temporary campus projects that coincidentally totaled the same amount. In each of the invoices, Walker added a 10 percent mark-up of more than $50,000.
Although the mark-up alone exceeds the amount at which BISD seeks bids, according to Lee, she said the district elected not to do so in this case.
"I believe the district operated under the belief it had satisfied state law," she said.
However, the Texas Education Agency found that BISD had violated state law in the way it handled payments and contracts awarded to Walker's Electric - a fact Lawrence-Lee later admitted to under questioning by prosecutor Bob Rawls.
Testimony will continue throughout the week. The Examiner will post updates on the courtroom deliberations throughout the entirety of the trial. Check back today for more.

text: Hi everyone - I'm a retired mechanical engineer and I have had a stroke that has left me with greatly reduced mental capacity. About a year I started an Arduino project and I'm just now trying to get back into it. I'm really struggling with my thought process and it appears to be a very steep up-hill battle. But it's wintertime and I'm stuck indoors so I'll try again. There are many motor control shields on eBay and most of them are from China and may be very slow in shipping. I have found one http://www.ebay.com/itm/official-arduino-motor-shield-v3-/150991643509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2327cda375 that may possibly be shipped from the USA.I can see by my records that I have made purchases from Adafruit Industries in the past but I don't remember. I have made purchases from other vendors but I don't remember any of them.So here are my questions . . .Would you buy that motor shield on eBay? Would you go to Adafruit for one? Can you make recommendations?Thanks guys.P.S. Please read this post very slowly as it took me FOREVER to type it.
