The world of multiplayer shooters tends to be a very serious one, though exceptions like Team Fortress 2 and Gotham City Imposters certainly exist. Microsoft's Xbox consoles in particular have a reputation of being the home of the "grey-brown manshooters," so it's nice to see PopCap shaking that reputation up with Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.
Just as one might imagine from the title, PvZ: Garden Warfare is a team-based multiplayer third-person shooter in which players take on the roles of the iconic plants or zombies from the popular tower-defense games. There's no single-player campaign, simply two modes of multiplayer madness. Players can take on co-op challenges with 1-4 players or fight with up to 24 players in team versus team mode.
Players on the plant side have the ability to personify many popular plants from the series. The four core characters are Sunflower, Peashooter, Chomper, and Cactus. Sunflower is a support and healing specialist who also wields a powerful laser attack. Peashooter is a fast-paced gunner character. Chomper is a melee damage dealer who can tunnel underground to avoid damage while approaching foes. Cactus is a distance-oriented character who specializes in sniping. Many other plants will have roles to play in the game, such as Bonk Choy, Potato Mine, Fume Shroom, Garlic Drone, and Chili Bean.
Zombie players will be taking on both old and new zombie character classes. The Soldier Zombie is exactly what you'd expect, All-Star is a tanky guy who can tackle and fire a football cannon, the Engineer can build support and artillery stations to assist his team, and the Scientist can heal and play nasty tricks on the enemy. Other zombies found in the game include everything from the Backup Dancer to the ever-popular Conehead Zombie. It appears that only the four main classes on each side are directly playable, while other kinds of plants and zombies are found as enemies, summoned allies, or NPC support characters.
Since there will be up to twenty-four players in online versus battles, there will be plenty of customization options available, including four different base costumes per character class (hopefully at least one allows the Engineer to cover his generous zombified plumber's crack) as well as a ton of tattoos, accessories and organic enhancements. Some of these are unlocked by leveling characters up, while others will be pre-order bonuses and DLC. As they level up, players will also acquire modifiers to their core abilities, allowing them to add elemental effects and other powers to their basic arsenal of weapons and moves.
In co-op mode, players will portray plants and work together to fight off hordes of zombies. The Gardens and Graveyards multiplayer mode is said to be like Battlefield's Rush Mode and Conquest Mode mixed together, and involves attempting to grab territory from the other team with the eventual goal of taking that team's main fortress. There will be multiple maps available for both main modes, all of which display the colorful and surreal atmosphere that underlies the PvZ experience.
Similar to Battlefield's Commander Mode, the game allows tablet or Kinect users to join the action from a strategic, top-down view, portraying Crazy Dave on the plant side or Dr. Zomboss on the zombie side. Called Boss Mode, this play method allows the tablet player to help his or her team by dropping healing stations and revive stations or by calling in bomb and artillery strikes on the opposite team. Boss Mode plays more like traditional PvZ, with the player collecting sun drops (or perhaps brains on the zombie side?) in order to build up energy for various abilities. Boss Mode can also be controlled via Kinect, though it seems like a more natural fit for a tablet.
PvZ: Garden Warfare is a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, but will come out later for PC and other unannounced platforms. Boss Mode may remain an Xbox exclusive feature, though it could possibly be made available in, say, a PlayStation 4 version using the Vita as the controller. Work has begun on other versions, but we're unlikely to hear anything concrete about them from PopCap until after Microsoft's timed exclusivity period has expired.
Overall, the game looks fun to play, and its developers suggest that it is based on core shooter mechanics but has added plenty of crazy PvZ twists to gameplay in order to appeal to fans and newcomers. It has been well-received at gaming conferences, so we'll see how the wider community reacts when it arrives in February.

The wife of the dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect is assisting authorities and in absolute shock that her husband and brother-in-law were accused of the deadly blasts, her lawyer said on Tuesday.
"She cries a lot," attorney Amato DeLuca said of Katherine Russell, 24, an American-born convert to Islam who was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev in June 2010. "She can't go anywhere. She can't work."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a shootout with police and younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, lies wounded in a Boston hospital charged with using weapons of mass destruction in the twin blasts that killed three people and wounded 264 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15.
The two ethnic Chechen brothers remained the only known suspects.
People interviewed by Reuters described Tamerlan Tsarnaev as proud but angry, never quite achieving his own idea of the American dream, and instead finding solace in a radical form of Islam adopted by fighters in his homeland.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's condition improved to "fair" from "serious" on Tuesday as he recovered from gunshot wounds at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where in an impromptu hearing on Monday he was charged with two crimes that could result in the death penalty if he were convicted.
Since recovering enough to communicate by nodding his head and writing, the younger Tsarnaev has also told authorities he and his brother acted alone, learned to build the pressure-cooker bombs over the Internet and were motivated by a desire to defend Islam because of "the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," NBC News reported.
NBC cited an unnamed U.S. counterterrorism source who has received multiple briefings on the investigation. Reuters could not confirm the information.
Katherine Russell's lawyer called a news conference to deny that she had any connection to or knowledge of the bombings, saying she was busy caring for the couple's 2-1/2-year-old daughter and working as a home healthcare aide in the time leading up to the blasts.
"She is doing everything she can to assist with the investigation," DeLuca said outside his office in Providence, Rhode Island. "The reports of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all."
DeLuca declined to say what law enforcement agencies Russell had spoken with or what they asked her. "It is pretty evident that she didn't know anything," he said.
U.S. prosecutors formally charged the lone surviving suspect with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
Tsarnaev, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was recovering from gunshot wounds suffered during at least one of his two gun battles with police, authorities said. He was captured on Friday night following a massive, daylong manhunt that shut down greater Boston.
Police say the Tsarnaev brothers also killed a university police officer on Thursday night and wounded a transit police officer on Friday morning.
A total of 264 people were injured in the blasts, the Boston Public Health Commission said on Tuesday.
The family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, the youngest person to die in the attacks, privately buried their son on Tuesday.
"This has been the most difficult week of our lives and we appreciate that our friends and family have given us space to grieve and heal," parents Denise and Bill Richard said in a statement. "We laid our son Martin to rest, and he is now at peace."
The Tsarnaev brothers emigrated to the United States a decade ago from Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region in Russia's Caucasus. [ID:nL2N0D91RX] Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a legal U.S. resident and his younger brother became a U.S. citizen last year.
Russian authorities flagged the older Tsarnaev in 2011 as a possible Islamist radical, and some lawmakers have accused the FBI of failing to act thoroughly enough after Russia's security services raised their concerns with the United States. The FBI questioned him in 2011.
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration legislation, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano why the older brother was not questioned upon returning from Russia in 2012.
Napolitano said U.S. Customs generated an alert when he left the country but neither Customs nor the Federal Bureau of Investigation was aware of his return six months later.
"The FBI text alert on him at that point was more than a year old and had expired," Napolitano said.
Napolitano also dispelled reports authorities may have lost track of Tamerlan Tsarnaev because his name was spelled differently on an airline manifest.

The Lectrosonics SRb5P Dual-Channel Slot Mount ENG Receiver Kit is designed to install in the wireless receiver slots found on professional video cameras, and includes the Lectrosonics SRSNY adapter kit for complete compatibility with the slots and inputs found on Sony cameras.
Includes Lectrosonics SMV Super Miniature Wireless Microphone Transmitter (Freq Block 21) and SRSNY Sony Adapter Kit.
The receiver itself features two independent digital hybrid wireless UHF receivers in a single lightweight body. The SRb5P provides an additional audio output next to the front panel for use with cameras that have only one audio input in the mounting slot. One channel can feed the connector in the camera slot, and the second channel can be connected to the external audio jack on the camera with a cable. An optional accessory enables you to power the SRb5P Receiver with L and M type rechargeable batteries. With a pair of Lectrosonics transmitters, the SRb5P makes for a formidable wireless solution for the discerning production professional who needs to reliably capture broadcast ready audio.
Lectrosonics SRb5P Camera Slot UHF Receiver (Block 19)
The Lectrosonics SRb5P Camera Slot UHF Receiver (Block 19) is a two-channel slot-mount Digital Hybrid Wireless diversity receiver that supports 486.400 - 511.900 MHz operating frequencies. The SRb5P receiver offers two independent channels and fits into the standard video camera slots found on professional cameras. The two audio channels can feed separate inputs or can be mixed internally to feed a single input. Plus, a DSP compatibility mode allows the SRb5P to be used with Lectrosonics IFB transmitters.
The device's RF performance is extremely stable over a very wide temperature range, making the receiver well suited for the rough environmental conditions found in field production. The front panel features a menu-driven LCD interface and four membrane switches which are used to view and alter settings. The main LCD window displays the pilot tone indicator, diversity activity, RF level, audio level and transmitter battery status for both receivers.
Other features include SmartSquelch for noiseless muting and a built-in spectrum analyzer scans across the tuning range of the receiver to locate RF signals in the vicinity find clear operating frequencies. The two internal receivers can be operated separately, each using switching, antenna combining diversity, or in tandem with ratio diversity reception. Clear frequencies are easily found with the built-in RF spectrum scanner and graphical LCD. The audio outputs of the receivers can be mixed internally, or left separated for discrete recording tracks or external mixing.

This story is heartbreaking on so many levels. A Louisville middle school student says he was relentlessly bullied because he was a male cheerleader and other students perceived him as gay.
The 13-year-old says he was "bullied, harassed, threatened [with] physical harm, humiliated" and called numerous gay slurs by other students at the Thomas Jefferson Middle School. "B.B." was forced to withdraw from Thomas Jefferson Middle School and his mother has filed a lawsuit against Jefferson County Public Schools, reports WFPL Radio.
B.B. left Thomas Jefferson and was home schooled beginning April 2012 and now attends Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North, an all male middle school—where he's still teased, he says.
Attorney Teddy Gordon—who has litigated against JCPS many times before and who represents B.B.—says he has several active cases related to bullying open. Gordon says despite having a state law and policy on the books, local school districts still aren't doing enough to protect students like B.B. from acts of bullying.
The school district claims they have done everything from "changing the teen's schedule [to] occasionally escorting him around school." The school system has asked a judge not to intervene in the case.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring state of Indiana: Indianapolis Public Schools has been named in a federal lawsuit filed behalf of Darnell "Dynasty" Young, the Black, openly gay 17-year-old student who was relentlessly bullied and expelled after he brought a stun gun to school for protection. The lawsuit filed by the National Center for Lesbian Rights and Kirkland & Ellis alleges IPS engaged in "discriminatory treatment and fail[ed] to protect" the bullied teen.

Editorial: To Endorse or Not To Endorse?
By: Kristina Ackermann
In our last issue, we asked a college journalism student and a veteran editor their thoughts on whether newspapers should endorse political candidates during election years. Their answers were, as expected, vastly different.
Washington and Lee University student Michael McGuire shared a personal anecdote illustrating the difficulties reporters face in presenting themselves as unbiased to sources and community members — difficulties that are heightened when the papers they work for endorse one candidate or political party over another. Elizabeth Sullivan, op-ed editor at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, said that the paper's opinion page is a place for just that — opinion. No one knows the ins and outs of politics quite like the editorial staff of a newspaper — especially on local matters — so the paper has a responsibility to share that knowledge with community members and help voters make an informed decision.
The debate continued in the comments section when the story went up on editorandpublisher.com, with valid points and counterpoints on each side. Those in favor of endorsements believe them to be a critical element of what makes a newspaper whole. Those against say the paper's responsibility is to report the news, not attempt to sway elections. Disenchanted commenter Steve Reiter snarked, "Why not? The news is already so slanted anyway."
In mid-August, The Oregonian announced in an editorial that it would not endorse a presidential candidate this election season. The paper's official reason for the non-endorsement was based on lack of access and insider knowledge — the very factors Sullivan cited in her argument in favor of endorsements. According to the Oregonian editorial, "Our CNN-level view of the presidential race is similar to everyone else's."
While Portland media circles speculated the paper would have endorsed Mitt Romney but feared the near-certain backlash that would arise from its mostly liberal readership, publisher N. Christian Anderson III swatted those rumors aside and told the Willamette Week, "I'm convinced there aren't any readers waiting with bated breath for a top-of-the-mountain proclamation from The Oregonian telling them how to vote in the presidential race in November."
One E&P commenter pointed out the very real possibility that, given the nature of the current race, perhaps the Oregonian didn't find either candidate worthy of the endorsement nod.
The question of to endorse or not to endorse is not a new one; we're just picking up where we left off in 2008. There truly is no right or wrong answer, and you won't find anything on the topic in the AP Style Guide. It is up to each publisher to determine the best course for his or her own paper, and be ready to defend that decision in the court of public opinion.
In past presidential election cycles, E&P has kept a running tally of the various endorsements (and non-endorsements) issued by newspapers across the country, and we will continue that tradition this year. Beginning this month, editorandpublisher.com will have a special section dedicated to election coverage where we'll be tracking your endorsements and including, when possible, information on past endorsements for comparison.
This, of course, is not something I can pretend to do a comprehensive job of from the confines of my desk, so I'm asking for your help. When your paper (or another in your area), issues a presidential endorsement, send me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will be updating the site and taking your comments. Let the games begin.

The hits just keep coming for Buddy Baker and his family in the fan favorite Animal Man, written by Jeff Lemire, with art by Steve Pugh. Animal Man #11 goes on sale on July 4; and it's the conclusion to the Extinction Is Forever storyline. DC Comics provided GeekDad with an exclusive first look at the issue, and it once again looks to be pure hell for the Bakers. First, Buddy's daughter Maxine was caught up in her father's world, now his son Cliff is missing after the events of last issue. Meanwhile, Buddy is being measured by the Tailors, the aliens responsible for his powers, for … a new body? And all the while, we draw closer to the much-anticipated Rotworld. It's hard to believe that less than a year ago, Animal Man was an almost non-entity within the old DC Comics universe.

SUWANEE, Ga. - Authorities say a hunter was killed and son injured when they plunged from a tree stand in a wooded area northeast of Atlanta.
Forsyth County Fire Chief Jason Shivers says rescuers battled darkness as they tried to reach the two, and located the father and son by tracking a cell phone signal off Old Atlanta Road in the Suwanee area Monday evening.
Rescuers say they started CPR on 44-year-old Jeffery Lane McBryant of Cumming, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Shivers tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/Yok7Zn ) that his teenage son, whose name wasn't released, was taken to Northside Hospital-Forsyth with non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators estimate the two fell between 15 and 20 feet to the ground.

Some of you will remember the fear mongering fire that I tried adding fuel to last year. "Y2K – Time to Panic". Anyone with a basic understanding of computer programming (I just realized that those people probably aren't reading a wine blog) will know that 2011 is just as binary as 2010. So why not worry about the end of the world this year? In a word – The Mayans.
The Mayans. A civilization that predicted the end of the world in 2012 and ironically (and I use the word correctly) did not foresee the end of their own civilization. If that doesn't scare you enough then consider Nostradamus – he also predicted the end of the world in 2012. And you can't spell Nostradamus without "damn us".
So how do we proceed knowing that 2011 will be by all accounts delightful? Here's my 3 step program to enjoying 2011.
1. Drink more Champagne – and if you can't afford the real stuff a Cava, Cremant, or even American Sparkling wine will do.
2. Drink different wines – as Albert Einstein said about wine "The definition of insanity is drinking the same wine over and over again and expecting a different result".
3. Splurge on some highly recommended and expensive bottles this year. If we've learned any fear mongering from the Mayans, 2011 may be your last chance.

There are subsets of the real line that has infinite counting measure, but Lebegue measure 0, so the Lebegue measure is used for measuring larger sets than the counting measure. My question is: Is there a translation invariant measure m such that for some sets with Lebegue measure 0 the m-measure is infinite and for some sets with infinite counting measure, the m-measure is 0?
I have found one example: m(A)=0 if A is countable, and m(A)=infinite otherwise. So I will require that the measure can take the value 1.
If such a measure exist, can we find a measure between this and the counting measure? and between this and the Lebegue measure? and so on.

The Carolinas coast is getting most of the attention from meteorologists this week, as they watch the possible development of a tropical low pressure system east of Florida.
But back here in the Piedmont and foothills, conditions are shaping up for what might be an unusually nice Independence Day holiday. If everything develops the way the computer models indicate, our July 4th could be dry and pleasant.
High temperatures in Charlotte might climb only into the upper 80s, humidity levels might be tolerable, and skies might be clear.
Scott Krentz, of the National Weather Service's office in Greer, S.C., said Monday morning that the computer-generated forecasts seem to be pointing toward one prediction -- that a fairly vigorous cold front will push across the Charlotte region late Thursday and be followed on the Fourth of July by a high pressure system.
Under that solution, Thursday would be a stormy day, especially in the afternoon and nighttime hours.
For several days, the Carolinas have been under the influence of an unsettled pattern, as an easterly flow off the Atlantic brought a lot of moisture into the area. Some locations in the North Carolina mountains got 6 to 8 inches of rain over the weekend. A vigorous thunderstorm Friday night dumped about 3 inches in parts of southeastern Mecklenburg County.
Additional showers and storms developed Saturday and Sunday, and more of the same is forecast for the first few days this week -- although storm activity will be scattered, forecasters say.
The chances of thunderstorms probably will increase into the "likely" category Thursday, as the cold front approaches. Anyone planning outdoor activities Thursday night -- and there are plenty of concerts, festivals and fireworks displays scheduled -- would have to keep an eye on the forecast. The storms could continued into the overnight hours.
Then the cold front is predicted to push all the way to the coast Friday. Under that scenario, the cold front would serve as a pipeline for the tropical weather system expected to move up the East Coast. If you're planning to spend the Fourth of July at the coast, that's a problem.
But for those remaining in the Piedmont, foothills or mountains, the holiday could be really nice.
Independence Day typically in the Charlotte area is hot and humid, with a scattering of late-afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Highs in the low 90s are common.
But we could be looking at a holiday with highs from 85 to 88 degrees and no worries about whether a thunderstorm will interrupt the holiday fireworks displays and other evening events.

A dry and pleasant July 4 ... is that possible?
The Carolinas coast is getting most of the attention from meteorologists this week, as they watch the possible development of a tropical low pressure system east of Florida.
Sunday, June 29, 2014
Season's first Atlantic tropical system forming
That broad area of low pressure that had been off the South Carolina coast earlier this weekend and was partially responsible for all the clouds, heavy showers and high humidity this weekend in the Charlotte area might be destined to become 2014's first Atlantic tropical system.
By mid afternoon Sunday, the low pressure system had drifted southward and was about 230 miles east of St. Augustine, Fla.
The National Hurricane Center said an area of relatively dry air in mid levels of the atmosphere over North Carolina is expected to be dragged into the low pressure area later Sunday, but by Tuesday or Wednesday, that dry air will be gone, and the low is given an 80 percent chance of becoming an organized tropical depression.
Steering currents off the Southeast Coast are extremely weak, and that makes any long-range forecasts very difficult.
But there doesn't seem to be any indication that the tropical system will have any impact on the Carolinas, at least for the next few days.
Some of the computer models show the low pressure system drifting south and then southwest, making landfall in three or four days along the eastern Florida coast. But a few other models show the system remaining over open water and then being dragged northeast later in the week when steering currents increase.
In that case, there could be some rainy and windy periods around the Fourth of July holiday on the Carolinas coastline. But that's a highly uncertain forecast, and if you have plans for an Independence Day trip to the beach, there's no need to worry. Nothing will happen for several days, at the earliest.

Too much rain? Not where I live
Summer thunderstorms can be capricious, dumping big amounts of rainfall in some places and leaving nearby areas dry. That's especially true in the Southeast, where summer is loaded with what meteorologists call "pulse" storms that strengthen and weaken quickly.
Those hit-and-miss storms have been a staple product of the Charlotte area's weather this week.
It seems as if there have been daily thunderstorms in parts of the foothills, and areas to the east of Charlotte have received more than 3 inches of rain this week. But in much of Mecklenburg County, little or no rain has fallen.
Thunderstorms repeatedly have formed in the foothills and moved very slowly into the Piedmont, drying out as they reach Mecklenburg County. At my house, no rain has fallen this week (through Friday afternoon).
Now the pattern is getting ready to change. A weak cold front is expected to slip southward across the Carolinas on Saturday, and that will serve two purposes. It will drop temperatures a few degrees late this weekend and early next week. And it will decrease thunderstorm chances, especially Sunday and Monday.
Computer models indicate thunderstorm activity will be a bit lower on Friday afternoon and evening than the past two days, but storms are predicted to be more numerous Saturday as the front pushes southward.
But if you need rain and don't get hit by a storm Saturday, it'll be time to get the sprinkler out.
Temperatures, which have climbed into the low and mid 90s on a daily basis this week, will fall back a bit. Charlotte has been in the 90s for five straight days, and it could climb into the low 90s again Saturday, before the cold front arrives. But highs are predicted to hold in the upper 80s from Sunday into Tuesday of next week.
Thursday, June 19, 2014
Slight change in weather pattern is coming
The late-afternoon thunderstorms that have developed on a daily basis this week are a good-news/bad-news kind of thing.
Just about everyone appreciates that the storms drop temperatures to more tolerable levels and produce rainfall, to compensate for the very high levels of drying that take place at this time of year.
But nobody is a big fans of the damage these storms sometimes produce. That has been the case each day so far this week, and the power of summer thunderstorms was on display Wednesday afternoon in Lincoln County. Strong winds blew trees onto houses, and there also was damage in York, Iredell, Alexander and Catawba counties.
We can expect more of the same over the next few days, forecasters say. The only difference is a slight decrease in temperatures.
Charlotte had a high of 93 degrees Wednesday, and the temperature was climbing toward the mid 90s again Thursday at the time of this writing (mid-afternoon). Forecasters say that by Thursday or Friday, high pressure responsible for this mid-June heat wave will slide off the Gulf Coast, and its grip over the Carolinas will lessen.
If you've been watching to the north over the past few days, you've seen several clusters of thunderstorms sweep from west to east across the Midwest and Great Lakes. As high pressure weakens over the Carolinas, those clusters of storms will take a more southerly track and will affect the Charlotte region by Friday or Saturday.
What does all that mean?
It means highs probably will be closer to 90 than 95 this weekend and early next week, and it means the scattering of afternoon and evening thunderstorms will increase. Some of those thunderstorm clusters moving out of the Midwest could arrive in the overnight hours, so we could get an overnight storm or two.
If you've lived in the Carolinas for any length of time, you know that this is typical summer weather. It's how we get our rainfall at this time of year.
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Summer's off to a hot start
Summer doesn't officially begin until this weekend, but meteorological summer started June 1, and it's off to a hot start in the Carolinas.
Wednesday marks the third straight day of 90-degree-plus weather, and it appears as if we're in for at least three to five more days of 90 degrees or hotter before there's a change in the pattern.
By mid-afternoon Wednesday, temperatures were in the low to mid 90s across the Piedmont and Sandhills of the Carolinas. An automated thermometer in Camden, S.C., about 80 miles south of Charlotte was showing 99 degrees at 2:30 p.m.
Technically, a heat wave is a string of three or more days with 90 degrees and above, so this is officially a heat wave.
The National Weather Service forecast a high of 94 Wednesday in Charlotte. That would be the hottest temperature in the city in two years, since a reading of 94 degrees at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte -- on Sept. 1, 2012.
The hottest temperature in Charlotte last year was 93 degrees. That's a testimony to the frequent and heavy rain we got in the summer of 2013. The rain and clouds kept the heat under wraps.

Thursday storm threat is wait-and-see for forecasters
Meteorologists in the Carolinas have a very tricky call to make, regarding the possibility of a severe weather outbreak Thursday.
There actually could be a pair of threats, with the first developing in the early-morning hours and the second on Thursday afternoon.
A clusters of strong thunderstorms was moving across the Midwest on Wednesday morning. That mesoscale convective system (MCS), a fancy word for a batch of storms, is forecast to continue moving eastward during the day, crossing Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Then the MCS is expect to curve southeast, and that's where it starts getting tricky.
Some of the computer models predict the storms will move across Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia overnight. Other models predict the storms will curve far enough southeast to affect the Carolinas in the early-morning hours Thursday. That MCS could bring damaging wind gusts, so the track of the storms is important.
The path of the storms also could have a big impact on what happens Thursday afternoon, when a weak cold front is predicted to move into the Carolinas.
The atmosphere in areas affected by early-morning storms will become relatively stable afterwards. That would discourage the development of afternoon thunderstorms.
So if the overnight batch of storms curve far enough southeast to affect the Charlotte area, there are questions about whether the atmosphere really will become unstable enough for another round of stormy weather in the afternoon. If the MCS stays farther north and crosses Virginia tonight, then the Charlotte area's atmosphere will be plenty unstable in the afternoon.
Justin Lane, from the Weather Service's office in Greer, S.C., said it probably won't be until 3 or 4 a.m. Thursday before forecasters have a good idea on what will happen in the afternoon across the Charlotte region.

Natural SPF 30 Tinted Face And Body Lotion (3.4floz UV Glass / Dark Honey)
by Herbal Choice Mari of Nature's Brands
- Reviews
- Questions
- everyday
- sunscreen
- skin
- powder foundation
- coverage
I've been purchasing this Face & Body lotion for several years now. It's a great everyday makeup and also works well on neck & forearms and other frequently exposed areas. Lasts a long time. No Nano particles, but high SPF using physical barriers. Smooth, light and creamy. I also use the spf foundations but find this lighter. Wish it came in a more tints like the makeup, but it is so light and blends easily. I started with a "free bottle" as a sampler, so glad they offered it.
Wonderful product! Don't change a thing!
I have been looking for the "Holy Grail" of face lotions - a good moisturizer, comfortable on my face, SPF of 20 or more, a low EWG.ORG toxicity score (it scores a 2) and slightly tinted so it is a light foundation as well. This lotion comes the closest to the mark of all that I have researched/tried. It feels good on my face and has the light coverage I am looking for. It goes on a bit greasy, but it tends to absorb in 15 minutes or so and then its fine. Regarding the issue that others have mentioned with the oil separating in the bottle, I store the bottle on its side which distributes any separated oil evenly through the container and I give it just a quick shake before dispensing which eliminates the problem. Like with any tinted product, At this point, I am looking no further for my "Holy Grail". Herbal Choice Mari Natural SPF 30 Tinted Face & Body Lotion fits the bill for me!
Every time I use this (every day) , I like it more and more. It evens out my skin tone and hides the small imperfections. Please don't change a thing, I love it the way it is!
I like the product because it evens out skin tone with a subtle color. I also like it because it's not tested on animals and it has a small amount of ingredients (that I can pronounce!) . my only complaint is that after I bought the sample size, I wasn't able to buy a full size bottle, due to being out of stock. Please get more in SOON!

Video: Delonte West gives Gordon Hayward a Wet Willie
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Okay, let's not get carried away.
Delonte West gave Gordon Hayward a 'wet-willie' during the Dallas Mavericks-Utah Jazz game yesterday, which`then led to some serious hyperbole from the game commentators.
Yes, West was wrong. Yes, West deserved a technical foul. And yes, West continued his streak of bizarre behaviour (he applied for a job at Sam's Club during the lockout).
It was not the worst act in the history of sports, though. Anyway, click the video below and see what the hoopla is about.

The May Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.
I have never created a strudel before; all I could think of in comparison was the Toaster Strudel that I have in the past purchased the boys for breakfast. I don't buy those things anymore! They loved them..too much.
Last summer I picked a ton of raspberries, I still have a few gallon ziploc bags in the freezer. I decided to try a raspberry/almond strudel. Fabulous!
The dough was so simple to make. I couldn't believe how easily it rolled out. It really DID stretch to 3 foot x 2 foot. Amazing.
It took only minutes to put together - minus the 3 hours I let the dough rest while I was out coaching my runners last night.
I'll be taking it along with me tonight to dispense to hungry mouths.
Next time I'm going to try a blueberry strudel. I have a few bags of those in the freezer, too.
Preparation timeTotal: 2 hours 15 minutes – 3 hours 30 minutes
15-20 min to make dough30-90 min to let dough rest/to prepare the filling20-30 min to roll out and stretch dough10 min to fill and roll dough30 min to bake30 min to cool
Apple strudelfrom "Kaffeehaus – Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague" by Rick Rodgers
2 tablespoons (30 ml) golden rum3 tablespoons (45 ml) raisins1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (80 g) sugar1/2 cup (1 stick / 115 g) unsalted butter, melted, divided1 1/2 cups (350 ml) fresh bread crumbsstrudel dough (recipe below)1/2 cup (120 ml, about 60 g) coarsely chopped walnuts2 pounds (900 g) tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and cut into ¼ inch-thick slices (use apples that hold their shape during baking)
1. Mix the rum and raisins in a bowl. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in another bowl.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the breadcrumbs and cook whilst stirring until golden and toasted. This will take about 3 minutes. Let it cool completely.
3. Put the rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with baking paper (parchment paper). Make the strudel dough as described below. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the remaining melted butter over the dough using your hands (a bristle brush could tear the dough, you could use a special feather pastry brush instead of your hands). Sprinkle the buttered dough with the bread crumbs. Spread the walnuts about 3 inches (8 cm) from the short edge of the dough in a 6-inch-(15cm)-wide strip. Mix the apples with the raisins (including the rum), and the cinnamon sugar. Spread the mixture over the walnuts.
4. Fold the short end of the dough onto the filling. Lift the tablecloth at the short end of the dough so that the strudel rolls onto itself. Transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet by lifting it. Curve it into a horseshoe to fit. Tuck the ends under the strudel. Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
5. Bake the strudel for about 30 minutes or until it is deep golden brown. Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Use a serrated knife and serve either warm or at room temperature. It is best on the day it is baked.
Strudel doughfrom "Kaffeehaus – Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague" by Rick Rodgers
1 1/3 cups (200 g) unbleached flour1/8 teaspoon salt7 tablespoons (105 ml) water, plus more if needed2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil, plus additional for coating the dough1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1. Combine the flour and salt in a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix the water, oil and vinegar in a measuring cup. Add the water/oil mixture to the flour with the mixer on low speed. You will get a soft dough. Make sure it is not too dry, add a little more water if necessary.Take the dough out of the mixer. Change to the dough hook. Put the dough ball back in the mixer. Let the dough knead on medium until you get a soft dough ball with a somewhat rough surface.
2. Take the dough out of the mixer and continue kneading by hand on an unfloured work surface. Knead for about 2 minutes. Pick up the dough and throw it down hard onto your working surface occasionally.Shape the dough into a ball and transfer it to a plate. Oil the top of the dough ball lightly. Cover the ball tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to stand for 30-90 minutes (longer is better).
3. It would be best if you have a work area that you can walk around on all sides like a 36 inch (90 cm) round table or a work surface of 23 x 38 inches (60 x 100 cm). Cover your working area with table cloth, dust it with flour and rub it into the fabric. Put your dough ball in the middle and roll it out as much as you can.Pick the dough up by holding it by an edge. This way the weight of the dough and gravity can help stretching it as it hangs. Using the back of your hands to gently stretch and pull the dough. You can use your forearms to support it.
4. The dough will become too large to hold. Put it on your work surface. Leave the thicker edge of the dough to hang over the edge of the table. Place your hands underneath the dough and stretch and pull the dough thinner using the backs of your hands. Stretch and pull the dough until it's about 2 feet (60 cm) wide and 3 feet (90 cm) long, it will be tissue-thin by this time. Cut away the thick dough around the edges with scissors. The dough is now ready to be filled

In fact, in my long searches I have found it to be the best RPG I have yet played on any portable gaming system. My friends, it should be considered the benchmark for RPG makers to follow: classic and deep; methodical and detailed; it is a true role-playing experience among portable RPG's that are nothing but shallow hack and slash weapon-building adventures.

The six men competing for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series will almost undoubtedly be at their dapper best come Emmy night, but is there any stopping the funnyman who, in his spare time, scored a major radio hit with a song called "Suit and Tie"?
That'll be the question looming over this year's race, as actor-singer Justin Timberlake — who took home the statuette in 2009 and 2011 for his last two Saturday Night Live guest-host gigs — will try to make it a three-peat at the 2013 ceremony.
RELATED | Emmys 2013: What Should Win Outstanding Comedy Series? Take Our Poll!
In order to pull off the hat trick, Timberlake will have to get past Nurse Jackie's Bobby Canavale, who's nominated in the Guest Actor race for the second straight year, as well as Nathan Lane, who took a one-year hiatus but got a nod for his turn as Modern Family's Pepper Saltzman back in 2011.

Two other nominees this year are veterans of the Emmy wars, but are celebrating their first nods in the Guest Comedy Actor category: Bob Newhart (up for a spot on The Big Bang Theory) and Louis C.K. (recognized for his stint hosting Saturday Night Live).
Rounding out the field is 30 Rock's Will Forte, whose only prior Emmy nod — in 1998 — was not as an actor, but as a writer for Late Show with David Letterman.

Ottawa, ON – July 15, 2017 – Providing access to medical marijuana for Veterans in Canada remains slow but steady. Although veterans can benefit from medical marijuana, they haven't always had access. Over the years, things have changed. Now, veterans are rallying together to steadily increase their access to treatment. Thanks to services like Medical Marijuana Services Canada, more veterans are getting the help they need.
PTSD is one of the most common disorders seen among veterans in Canada and treating PTSD is no easy task. Each veterans experiences are different, thus it often involves a trial-and-error period and could require several different medications. Medical cannabis research has been proven to help relieve many symptoms associated with PTSD despite the fact that legal system has not always agree.
In Canada, the health and well-being of Veterans is a priority for the government. Bill C-21 was a step in the right direction. The bill developed a framework for dealing with PTSD. This promotes research on the link between PTSD and cannabis to help propose better treatment and ensure the health and wellbeing of citizens.
Veteran's Affairs Canada offers some help to Canadian veterans. However, that help has been reduced. In the past, they paid up to ten grams a day of cannabis for veterans. Currently, they reimburse veterans up to three grams a day. The most they offer is $8.50 a gram. A veteran's health care staff member gives the authorization.
Review Veterans Affairs Canada – Cannabis for Medical Purposes: http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/health/cannabis-medical-purposes
Canada provides veterans with some access to cannabis but it's not as readily available on a large scale. That's why more and more veterans are speaking up about it. Small organizations remain dedicated to helping Canadians receive medical marijuana for the relief they are looking for.
About Medical Marijuana Services Canada:
Medical Marijuana Services Canada provides Canadians with the medical documentation necessary to access medical cannabis as a safe and effective treatment. MMS Canada believes that every patient that requires medical marijuana deserves equal and safe access to effective treatment, working closely with members and doctors to develop long-term health goals, education, and improving lives. Veterans are eligible to receive full free coverage through Veterans Affairs once your MMS membership and medication are approved. Visit our website, connect with us online, or give us a call to learn more about medical marijuana and PTSD, and how it can be used as an effective treatment and improve well-being.

Delivering a eulogy is a tough task for even the most polished speaker, so how to judge a eulogy offered by a woman who has been upbraided famously for her poor public speaking?
Caroline Kennedy acknowledges that public speaking is "unbelievably stressful" for her. During her short-lived U.S. Senate campaign in 2008, the media counted her "ums" and "you knows;" questioned her preparation; and generally gave poor reviews to her speaking style. In a family known for its eloquence, her speeches are rushed and emotionless compared to the greatest hits of her father and famous uncles.
But this post is about famous speeches, not perfect speakers. Kennedy rose to the challenge when she delivered the last eulogy of the day at her uncle Edward Kennedy's memorial service in 2009. Her remembrance wasn't delivered crisply or filled with lovely language. Instead, it was the right speech for her audience, her style of speaking and the needs of the occasion.
Many of us will have to deliver a eulogy at some point, and it's a perennial topic of concern on The Eloquent Woman. Our readers have offered excellent tips to speakers in this situation, and Kennedy provides a great example to those looking for inspiration and information on how to succeed at a fraught but important public speech.
- It's OK to make them laugh. Not every story about a loved one has to be uplifting or solemn, even if he or she was a historic figure like a Kennedy. Caroline Kennedy's eulogy contains an anecdote about seeing a brighter-than-the-rest star in the sky after Edward Kennedy's death--a well-worn metaphor that could have been nothing more than trite. But Kennedy gave it a humorous twist by admitting that "I knew it was Jupiter, but it was acting a lot like Teddy." There are laughs throughout the speech, most of them gentle but true to her subject's outsize personality.
- Don't forget the details. About halfway through the speech, Kennedy tells a very personal story about one of Teddy's infamous American history vacations for the youngest in the Kennedy clan. This tale is told with so many tiny details--from the sticky, 98-degree heat to the stench of low tide to the roar of planes taking off above the children's tents staked in the dirt--that it resonates as a treasured memory that only she could share.
- Let your emotion show. Eulogy speakers often worry that they will be so emotional that they won't be able to speak well, or even make it through their whole speech. Keeping it brief is one way to approach this, if it's a concern. But speakers should also acknowledge that emotion can't and shouldn't be banished completely. Listen to the obvious tremor in Kennedy's voice at the beginning and end of the eulogy. That's the sound of someone holding back tears at the thought of a person who will be missed dearly--and that's entirely appropriate for the occasion.

City News Service
A man charged with murder and other counts in a shooting and fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip nearly two months ago has been extradited from Los Angeles to Nevada. Ammar Harris, 27, was released just after 11:30 p.m. Monday to Nevada law enforcement officials, according to jail records. Harris was returned to Clark County, Nev., where he was awaiting a court appearance on Wednesday, according to Tess Driver of the Clark County District Attorney's Office.
He had been jailed in Los Angeles since his arrest at a Studio City apartment complex on February 28. After examining photographs and fingerprints, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Shelly Torrealba said she determined last month that Harris is ``the same individual'' being sought by the state of Nevada. Authorities allege that Harris opened fire Feb. 21 from a Range Rover on Oakland-based rap artist Kenny Clutch, legally known as Kenneth Wayne Cherry, after a verbal altercation.
The fatally wounded Clutch crashed the Maserati he was driving into a cab that burst into flames, killing taxi driver Michael Boldon and passenger Sandra Sutton-Wasmund. A criminal complaint filed Feb. 22 in Nevada charged Harris with 11 counts, including three counts of murder with use of a deadly weapon, one count of attempted murder, two counts of discharging a firearm at or into a vehicle and five counts of discharging a firearm out of a motor vehicle.

From Mike at Brew Bracket:
Here's the 101 on our event:Brew Bracket is the only one of its kind, a true tasting tournament. 16 brewers bring a similar style of beer (Wheat for our spring event) and are seeded randomly into a bracket. 400 participants taste beer (blindly, 2 glasses at a time) and vote for their favorites. Over the course of the day winning beers move through the tournament until we crown a champion at the end of the event.
Here's why this year is exceptionally awesome:Our 16 brewers are very close to Indianapolis, and we have nearly every new brewer to the scene involved in the event. This includes 5+ breweries that have just started within the last year. It's an awesome opportunity for beer fans to find out about new breweries and learn more about what they like within the style through the blind tasting. And we're partnering with local charity, the SCI Hope Fund, to give back to the community as part of the event.
Basic details:Saturday, April 14th from 12:30PM – 5PM
Tickets are $35 each, only 400 available

Did this as starter on Christmas day, the vodka shot was fun - the 20-somethings were impressed at Nan downing it in one! I think 15 mins prep is ambitious - it took me at least that long to prep the beetroot. But delicious and very easy. Definitely on my dinner party recipe list, thank you.
28th Jan, 2012
Easy for a dinner party - you can prepare the creme fraiche (definitely with more horseradish than stated) and beetroot in advance and store in separate tubs, then assemble just before serving. I used ordinary caviar as couldn't get salmon, just as nice. It received great praise, will be making it again.
2nd Jan, 2012
Wow! This was simply delicious! I made this for my New Year's Day dinner party and the combination of flavours was amazing. I did as ChefCaston suggested and added lemon zest and dill, and served it on a bed of rocket-gorgeous! I found that I couldn't get the creme fraiche to thicken, so I folded whipped double cream through it. I found that made it even lighter and even more delicious!
20th Nov, 2011
A spectacular looking starter (especially with ChefCaston's suggestion of an added bed of rocket). Brilliant colours, topped with a sprinkling of salmon roe like precious jewels, plus the bonus that it is dead easy to prepare. I'd agree that more horseradish helps, but the vodka didn't add that much to be honest. If you want to o/d on the added flavourings, the creme fraiche can go sloppy, although strenuous whipping should bring it back. All in all, "minimum effort ... maximum satisfaction", to coin a phrase!

This got me to thinking about some relatively recent developments in our society--sperm banks and women donating eggs to other women in order to conceive. I think in both cases one could argue that the "biological parents" might be the donors. However, is any record kept of who these people are? Does the birth certificate indicate that John Doe donated the sperm; but the mother, Mary Jones, husband was Tom Jones. I am not sure; but am guessing it doesn't. With the gaining popularity of DNA testing, one can imagine an adult 20 years from now tracing their family tree through both digital records and DNA coming up with some questions, especially if their parents didn't tell the person he/she had a donor father or mother. How does one distinguish between this situation and an illegitimate or adopted child?I guess my first impression is that essentially the situations posited are no different than the current and past issues created by adoption where the adoptive parents never disclosed the process of adoption to the adopted child. I have heard dozens of stories from patrons at the Mesa FamilySearch Library over the years how they "discovered" that they were adopted late in their life. In those situations, nearly all of the current genealogy programs provide for optional parent-child relationships: adoptive, guardianship, grandparents caring for the child, foster parents etc. I have also raised the issue that our standard pedigree chart view of families obscures many cultural and social family relationships such as God Parents and other similar relationships.
The answer is simple, we handle these situations in the same way we have always handled adoptions and illegitimate or out-of-wedlock children; by noting the relationships and identifying the participants when they are known. I have stated in the past that finding an ancestor born out-of-wedlock may constitute a valid end-of-line situation if there is no information about the identity of the father or the mother or both. In short, I don't see the issues as creating any new situations that haven't already been addressed by genealogists many times in the past.
