Cabrera's error helps A's beat Jays 1-0 in 12th
OAKLAND, California (AP) — Melky Cabrera couldn't corral Nick Punto's double with one out in the 12th inning, sending the surging Oakland Athletics to a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Major League Baseball on Friday.
Derek Norris had a leadoff walk in the Oakland 12th against Chad Jenkins (0-1). After Jed Lowrie lined out, Punto hit a slicing double down the line in left.
Cabrera moved to his right to cut off the ball, which squirted by his glove for an error. Norris scored from first for an odd ending to a game highlighted by stellar pitching performances by starters Tommy Milone of Oakland and Marcus Stroman of Toronto.
Dan Otero (7-1), the fifth Oakland reliever to toss a scoreless inning, earned the win for the league-leading A's.
The Los Angeles Angels won their eighth in a row at home for the first time in nearly nine years, topping the Houston Astros 7-6.
Mike Trout homered leading off the ninth inning after the Angels twice rallied to tie the game. Trout hit his team-leading 20th homer, and has eight homers in his last 18 games.
Joe Smith (3-0) got the victory for the Angels, who trail Oakland by 3½ games in the American League West.
The Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw nearly had a no-hitter against Colorado again, allowing only two singles over eight masterful innings to beat the Rockies 9-0.
Kershaw (10-2) extended his scoreless streak to 36 innings before being replaced by a pinch hitter in the ninth. He nearly matched the no-hitter he threw against the Rockies on June 18, striking out eight and walking one.
Yasiel Puig hit a two-run homer and Scott Van Slyke added a three-run homer as the National League West-leading Dodgers had a season-high 19 hits.
San Diego won its season-high fifth straight game, topping San Francisco 2-0.
Eric Stults pitched seven strong innings to win for the first time in nearly two months and Alexi Amarista homered to lead the Padres to the win.
NL East-leading Atlanta moved 10 games over .500 for the first time since April 29 with a 5-2 win over Arizona. It was the Braves' 10th win in 11 games.
Freddie Freeman drove in two runs and Ervin Santana won his second straight start for the Braves.
Arizona and Houston are tied for the most losses in the majors with 52.
The New York Mets overcame an early injury to starter Jonathon Niese to beat Texas 6-5 to stop a four-game slide.
Travis d'Arnaud broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run double for the Mets. Niese left in the first with a bruised lower back after he was hit by Alex Rios' line drive.
Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen had four hits and Jordy Mercer drove in a career-high four runs, powering the Pirates to an 8-2 victory over Philadelphia.
The Yankees' Brian Roberts hit three doubles and a triple, leading New York to a 6-5 win over spiraling Minneapolis.
Chicago's Justin Ruggiano homered for the second straight game to lead the Cubs to a 7-2 win over Washington.
Cincinnati's Alfredo Simon moved into a tie for the National League lead with his 11th win and Billy Hamilton homered as the Reds ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over Milwaukee.
In other games, Kansas City topped Cleveland 7-1, Tampa Bay beat Detroit 6-3, the Chicago White Sox defeated Seattle 7-1 and St. Louis edged Miami 3-2.

Blackburn Rovers are returning to the negotiating table for AS Roma striker Mirko Vucinic.
The Sun says Rovers hope to find out this weekend whether they can smash their transfer record on Roma striker Vucinic.
Rovers boss Steve Kean is ready to fork out £11million for the Montenegro star, who is set to leave the Italian capital this summer.
He faces stiff competition from other clubs including Juventus for the 27-year-old and a move across Serie A looks most likely.
Vucinic's agent Alessandro Lucci said: "I've been to England to take stock of the situation.
"The interest of English clubs in him goes back some time.
"But I've also had meetings with Juventus, where we talked about many players and they asked for information on Vucinic."
It's kicking off again! Click here for your No1 source for Blackburn transfer market news and gossip.

Your posts are always short and to the point, but OH SO ENCOURAGING!ReplyDelete
Thank you for linking with Woman to Woman's Word Filled Wednesday! God bless!
So glad you were encouraged by this post! :-) Yes, on Wednesdays I post these short prayers as I "Pray the Word". But, I do write longer devotionals on Fridays that usually surround a lesson I've learned or something God has shown me in my life. Right now, though, I'm "Unwrapping the Gifts of Advent". I can't believe we're almost to week 2! Thanks for stopping by today!ReplyDelete
Blessings, Joan
I'm always so blessed by your prayers. Beautiful and uplifting. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Much love,
Thanks, Beth! It really helps me as I pray to use a scripture that captures my mood and I have discovered such strength that comes through His spoken Word!ReplyDelete
Blessings, Joan

This is not a "defend Obama at any cost" post: Let it be known that, from my point of view, the baseline answer to the titular question is "no, it's not." Obama promised as recently as February to support a filibuster on any bill including retroactive immunity. Several bloggers, including Glenn Greenwald, have comprehensively explored the ways in which this is both disappointing, and not very surprising (in that what-did-you-think-Obama-was-anything-but-a-politician sense).

As a business, we've been able to make a difference in the lives of our advisors and in those they serve by fostering a culture of community where independent insurance agents and financial advisors are empowered to engage, share and learn from one another. Adhering to our four core principles — the most important being "always do the right thing" — has also been instrumental in our ability to affect the lives of our clients and the people they serve.
We've expanded that culture and that principle into our community, working to help address some of the most pressing problems facing the community, and providing opportunities for those who work with us to do the same.
Thank you for your interest in Advisors Excel's community giving. We have moved to an online system to process charitable requests. This will help us to ensure the most equitable selection process possible. To submit a request for volunteers, sponsorship or an in-kind donation, please click below.
As a company, Advisors Excel contributes financially to a variety of causes and organizations each year, but we're committed to being more than a financial benefactor. We seek to help by deploying our greatest resource, the more than 400 staff members who make up Advisors Excel. Each quarter, every member of Advisors Excel spends one afternoon volunteering in our community, helping to advance the causes and organizations dedicated to any of the four key pillars that make up our community engagement efforts.
Advisors Excel started a new holiday tradition in 2015, partnering with local television station WIBW to grant one wish a day for each day between Thanksgiving and Christmas to members of the Topeka community in need. The program was so successful, we continued it throughout the following year, fulfilling at least one request each month.
In 2015, Advisors Excel committed $500,000 toward the nation's domestic hunger-relief efforts, helping provide 5 million meals across the country over the next five years. A substantial portion will directly impact Harvesters in our community of Topeka, Kansas, which is the local Feeding America® member food bank.
We took our commitment to helping end the problem of hunger one step further by providing the financial professionals we work with the opportunity to partner with Feeding America® in a similar manner, helping to address hunger in their own communities. More than 800,000 meals were provided in communities across the country through this effort.
Each year at our signature World Series of Sales event, we join with our top clients to give back and share our financial resources with one deserving organization. Since 2009, we've been able to raise more than $1.5 million to help incredible charities and amazing organizations around the country, including The V Foundation for Cancer Research, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, Payton's "Play It Forward" Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® and the United Service Organizations.

Junk In The Trunk Vintage Market Partners With Mission One's Kijabe Women's Sewing Project
Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market was created to bring people together who love vintage and antiques. While that vision still moves us forward today, the responsibility to do good weighs heavier. We want to be a brand that encourages others, empowers small business owners and uses our platform to help those who need it most.
Long before our markets started, a friendship was found in a common bond from raising young children and a love for vintage. We met at Scottsdale Bible Church while attending a class for young married couples. One of the class mentors was Bob & Linda Schindler. Bob & Linda were such amazing examples to young couples having devoted the better part of their life as advocates for those in need across the globe. Bob & Linda often shared about the work they were doing in Africa, Asia and other parts of the world. Their stories touched our hearts and we longed for the day that we could travel alongside them to see the work firsthand.
Fast forward several years and 16 markets later, we started talking about expanding our vision for our markets and how they could be a way to help others in need. We had the opportunity to meet with Bob & Linda and the Mission One team to talk about partnering together and we left feeling excited that we could play a small role in helping those in need.
Mission ONE trains and mobilizes the Church, focusing on cross-cultural partnerships to engage the unreached and serve the poor and oppressed and we are excited to share in that vision together.
One of the ways that Mission One partners with people is to help create sustainable businesses that will aid in the support of villages to meet their everyday needs.
This summer we will have an opportunity to travel to Kenya to meet with partners of Mission One who have been working to help those around them in need for the last 25 years. We have the amazing opportunity to raise funds for a ministry that focuses on at risk women and children whose lack of employment forces them into prostitution. We will be working to sponsor 12 women in Kijabe, Kenya to go through a 6-month program that will teach them how to sew. The monies raised will help the women go through the training program and provide funds to support their families while they learn a trade. At the end of the 6-month time frame, they will have a skill that will allow them to find employment in villages nearby or start a new life in a new town.
We are also raising funds to buy new equipment for the training center, which will allow the village to continue to provide vocational training to women for years to come.
Your attendance at our Scottsdale market will help these will women write a different story for their life, as a portion of the proceeds from our April 28th-30th Scottsdale market will go towards this project.

Hot Webinar: 12 Ways Hackers Get Around Two-Factor Authentication and How to Defend It
Every time Microsoft changes a name for no apparent reason (product managers have to do something) I give the company a good, sound beating.
This all starts with code names, which are usually pretty good. That almost always gets tossed for the first real name. After a while the company gets antsy and changes the first real name to the second real name. Think of all the names Windows has gone through. It's been based on versions like Windows 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Years like Windows 95, 98 and 2000. Random words and letters such as XP, Me and Vista. And back to numbers, as in 7 and 8.
Redmond columnist Mary Jo Foley is also perplexed by all this and actually began tracking all the name changes in a spreadsheet, presumably Excel -- one of the few products that still has its original name.
One problem is the new name can make an old product appear as if it's just released. Microsoft Account sounds new, but is really Live ID (which I still think of as Passport). Foley also notes that all the Live tools have had their names done away with. And SQL Azure, which sounds pretty cool, is now Windows Azure SQL Database. Catchy, eh?

Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML), located in central Monterey Bay, is part of the California State University system. With support from the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS), MLML operates a shore station situated at the head of Monterey Canyon. Seawater pumped from an intake directly offshore in 17m of water is used in the labs for research and educational activities. A suite of sensors has been monitoring the physical and chemical properties of seawater at this location since 2010.
To gain a better understanding of regional carbonate chemistry, and to support research on the biological impacts of ocean acidification, MLML installed a Turner C-sense pCO2 sensor at this site. A month of preliminary data, collected during October 2016, shows strong fluctuations in temperature, pCO2, and pH. This site is known to be strongly influenced by large-amplitude internal waves, which are generated offshore by tidal currents flowing over steep topography and are then funneled through the canyon towards Moss Landing. Unlike surface waves, these internal waves are barely detectable at the sea surface, but they do have a strong effect on subsurface water properties, leading to strong fluctuations in pCO2 levels about twice per day. The colder water is characterized by high pCO2 due to microbial respiration below the euphotic zone, especially during times of the year when there is high productivity associated with coastal upwelling.
The data from this station will help MLML researchers better understand the physical and biological processes that influence the chemistry of seawater along the California coast. Monitoring the strong variability in seawater chemistry that occurs due to tidally-driven internal waves will allow for laboratory experiments that investigate a wide range of relevant oceanic conditions.

Modern Gilet
Sports Luxe
Growing up, I was unequivocally a tomboy who preferred sports over fashion and only wore dresses for weddings. Although these predilections didn't stick with me into adulthood, they have influenced my current style. I still love the ease of a tee shirt and track pant, but with updated details: something along the lines of a mesh insert, white piping, or neoprene element. There's something so attractive about the sports luxe style that it's no wonder the fashion world has come to embrace it.
Lace in Mind
In my mind, few things communicate "feminine" better than delicate lace—let alone lace of the sheer variety. It's my go-to piece for a dreary day and perfect option for New York's summer to fall transition.

Mclane Company:
McLane is a highly successful $30 billion supply chain services company, providing grocery and foodservice supply chain solutions for thousands of convenience stores, mass merchants, drug stores and military locations, as well as thousands of chain restaurants throughout the United States. McLane is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and is its single largest non-insurance business.
Founded in 1894 in Cameron, Texas, McLane Company has grown from a local merchant to an international distribution and logistics leader. The company is headquartered in Temple, Texas, and operates 38 grocery and foodservice distribution centers across the country. Additionally, McLane owns an industry-specific software company; an import distributor of sunglasses, novelties and other items; and two regional wholesalers in Texas.
The history of McLane Company dates to 1894, when Robert McLane opened a small retail grocery store in downtown Cameron, Texas. In 1903, he expanded into wholesale trade, supplying grocery stores in neighboring towns via rail and horse-drawn wagons. During the 1920s through the 1940s, with the advent of the automobile and a robust highway system, his business grew rapidly to encompass much of the Central Texas region.
In 1966, McLane Company moved its operations to Temple, Texas, and began tailoring its warehouse operations and distribution methods to accommodate the unique needs of a nascent retail segment, convenience stores, which were popping up on many street corners and at many gasoline stations.
McLane Company pursued a plan of rapid expansion beyond Texas beginning in 1976 under the leadership of Drayton McLane, Jr., the third generation of family leadership. By 1990, the company had established a presence that was fully nationwide in scope.
In December 1990, Drayton McLane sold McLane Company to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. for 10.4 million shares of Wal-Mart stock and an undisclosed amount of cash.
McLane Company entered the foodservice business in December 2000, when it acquired certain assets from AmeriServe Food Distribution to create McLane Foodservice.
In May 2003, Berkshire Hathaway acquired McLane Company from Wal-Mart for $1.45 billion.
In 2008 McLane opened its 20th grocery distribution center in Jessup, Pennsylvania and 18th foodservice distribution center in Manassas, Virginia.
Berkshire Hathaway:
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, NYSE: BRK.B) is a conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, that oversees and manages a number of subsidiary companies. The company averaged an annual growth in book value of 20.3% to its shareholders for the last 44 years, while employing large amounts of capital, and minimal debt. Berkshire Hathaway stock produced a total return of 76% from 2000-2010 versus a negative 11.3% return for the S&P 500.
Warren Buffett is the company's chairman and CEO. Buffett has used the "float" provided by Berkshire Hathaway's insurance operations (a policyholder's money which it holds temporarily until claims are paid out) to finance his investments. In the early part of his career at Berkshire, he focused on long-term investments in publicly quoted stocks, but more recently he has turned to buying whole companies. Berkshire now owns a diverse range of businesses including railroads, candy production, retail, home furnishings, encyclopedias, vacuum cleaners, jewelry sales; newspaper publishing; manufacture and distribution of uniforms; as well as several regional electric and gas utilities.
Berkshire acquired McLane Company, Inc. in May 2003 from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., which brought on other subsidiaries such as Professional Datasolutions, Inc. and Salado Sales, among others. McLane provides wholesale distribution and logistics services in all 50 states and internationally in Brazil to customers that include discount retailers, convenience stores, quick service restaurants, drug stores and movie theatre complexes.
McLane Company, Inc., is one of the largest wholesale distribution companies in the United States. McLane serves customers in all 50 states, and has a total base of over 44,000 customers. Of that total, 26,000 customers are convenience stores, making McLane the world's largest supplier to that market. In addition, the company is a major importer of gourmet and ethnic foods through its specialty food division. Other McLane divisions are engaged in foodservice, trucking, data processing, and food processing. McLane is owned by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the largest retail operation in the world. Since its acquisition by Wal-Mart in 1990, grocery distribution has played a growing role in McLane's business, which had previously focused even more heavily on convenience stores.

Donald Trump helped TV networks secure blockbuster ratings during the primary debate cycle, and if the deliveries for the first night of the Republican National Convention are any indication, the GOP's presumptive nominee doesn't seem to have lost his touch.
According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Monday night's convention coverage averaged 22.5 million viewers across ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC, up 9% versus the 20.6 million who tuned in for the opening salvo of the 2012 confab. In aggregate, the six networks posted a 6.0 rating in the news demo, which translates to around 7.14 million adults 25 to 54, which marked a 17% improvement versus a 5.1 rating/6.1 million viewers four years ago.
While overall deliveries for the 10-11 p.m. EDT program also were up appreciably versus the first night of the 2008 convention, which drew 18.9 million viewers, the demo lagged. Eight years ago, Sen. John McCain's opening night averaged 8 million adults 25 to 54, or a 6.8 rating.
Fox News Channel easily outpaced the rest of the pack, averaging 6.35 million viewers and a 1.4 in the target demo, which was flat versus its 2012 rating. CNN enjoyed the biggest lift, improving 168% to 3.94 million viewers while trebling its demo to a 1.2. ABC boosted its demo by two-tenths of a point to a 1.0, while NBC (1.4) and CBS (0.7) each lost a tenth. Cellar dweller MSNBC was flat with a 0.4 rating.
On an absolute basis, NBC won the 10 p.m. hour with an average draw of 1.64 million adults 25 to 54, edging Fox News by 37,000 viewers.
While advertisers paid higher-than-usual rates for spots in and around the convention coverage, only a handful of commercials ran during the actual event. The few ads that aired toward the back end of the 10-11 p.m. time slot were characteristically elder-skewing; for example, CNN ran a spot for Brookdale Senior Living and a direct response ad for SunSetter awnings, while three of CBS' seven ads were pharmaceutical buys.
TV news is the oldest-skewing programming on the dial, and the coverage of the GOP convention looks to be no exception. Fewer than one-third (32%) of those who tuned in for the speeches by Rudy Giuliani, Melania Trump, et al were members of the target demo, and the median age of those who were tuned in was 64 years.
Along with pharma and consumer package goods, other categories that were well-represented in post-convention coverage included insurance, fast food restaurants, financial services and travel.
Although Donald Trump's candidacy has been a boon to the TV nets, his oft-repeated boast about his ratings mojo ("I go on these shows and the ratings double") is unlikely to pay off on the final night of the convention. Per Nielsen, the fourth and final night of the 2012 GOP convention delivered 30.3 million viewers, and it's unlikely that the Donald's coronation will top 60 million viewers.
His first televised showdown with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, however, could very well come close to breaking the all-time record for a presidential debate. That was set in 1992, when a three-hander featuring President George H.W. Bush, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Reform Party founder Ross Perot scared up a flabbergasting 97 million viewers.
For the record, the all-time least-watched debate was the second meeting between Pres. Clinton and Kansas Senator Bob Dole in 1996, which averaged just 36.3 million viewers. Generally speaking, presidential debates tend to draw around 70 million viewers across all participating networks.

The Reason No Woman Should Have Blonde Hair. Ever.
If you don't live in a bubble, you have probably heard about the great debate over what attire is appropriate for a woman to wear in public in order for a man to not have lustful thoughts. The arguments in this area are mainly comprised of how leggings or yoga pants, being form fitting, or how sleeveless shirts or dresses, that reveal a woman's shoulders, can cause a man to have lustful thoughts.
From experience, I have one more thing that should be added to the list of lust-invoking thought catalysts: blonde hair. Yes, blonde hair.
Probably the most eye-opening, blatant statement anyone ever made to me was about my blonde hair. When I first became a manager, my superior told me that the guys on my team wouldn't listen to me because they were too busy wanting to sleep with me. He suggested that in order to be taken seriously, I should dye my hair brown.
What? WHAT?! Why on earth would he say that? What made him think that the men in the office wanted to sleep with me because I had blonde hair? I worked hard to get that promotion. I was good at sales and could teach others. Wouldn't my team listen to me because I knew what I was doing?
If I dyed my hair brown would that make me smarter? Would it enable me in some way to do my job better? Would brown hair actually somehow make men hear what I had to say? I am ashamed to admit that I almost bought into his comments. I did actually dye my hair darker blonde for a while. I figured that I would try to make my hair darker gradually. My husband didn't like it though.
Then it occurred to me. Why in the world was I trying to change myself anyways? Why was I the one responsible for the alleged lustful thoughts of male co-workers? So I went back to my regular blonde hair. As a manager, I trained employees in group settings and individually. I took over a team that was not doing well, in fact, dead last in the company, and within a year, we were number one in the company. Believe it or not, I was able to accomplish this even with my blonde hair.
Being totally honest here, I have reasons as to why women should not wear blue silk blouses, white pants, or dress-length trench coats because they invoke lustful thoughts in men. I won't go into those stories because this is a family-friendly article, you'll just have to trust me when I say that these wardrobe choices elicited some rather inappropriate, lustful commentary. So let's add those to the list of banned items as well.
It is not my intention to ridicule anyone's personal decision to wear jeans rather than leggings for the sake of modesty. I firmly believe that as women, and for me personally, as a Christian, we should dress in a manner that is respectful of our own bodies. If we demand respect, we will get respect, right? As the mother of three boys, I appreciate a movement for women to dress modestly. That teaches our sons that it is not okay for society to sexualize women; similarly, it teaches our daughters that gaining affection from a man should not be based on merely being able to attract attention with provocative attire. We should all be praising modesty, lest we end up with more Miley Cyruses, scantily clad, twerking and grinding with large foam fingers.
But what if the list of "do-not-wear-this" is not enough? I mean, we could probably keep adding to it until almost nothing is deemed appropriate, except maybe for sweatpants and sweatshirts. And even then, there may be some sweatshirt-lusting men out there. So what's the answer?
The Bible warns men against adultery and lust; likewise, it directs women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety. Each has a responsibility to act in accordance with God's word.
"Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes." Psalm 6:25
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." I John 2:15-17
"I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." I Timothy 2:9-10
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." I Peter 3:3-4
So does this mean that I have to give up leggings, yoga pants, blonde hair, silk blouses, white pants, or any other item that could remotely have the possibility of spurring a lustful thought for a man? No. It is a man's responsibility to have control over his thoughts and control his desires. It is my responsibility, however, to use good judgment when it comes to my wardrobe choices.

The RoboVent Blade®, a high-volume, low-speed fan, is changing the way industrial and commercial buildings are ventilated. They're an excellent primary ventilation system in certain open-air facilities such as agricultural buildings, sheds and stadiums; and they're an excellent supplement to existing HVAC systems in a wide range of large, open spaces such as warehouses, distribution centers, processing plants, retail centers, athletic facilities and elsewhere.
RoboVent Blade fans are powerful, quiet and efficient at moving large volumes of air. During winter months our fans improve the distribution of warm air, and during the summer months, in reverse operation they circulate cool air more effectively. The results are increased comfort for building occupants while lowering the energy usage typically required for big spaces, especially for building with overhead doors or truck bays that cause a constant and expensive drain on HVAC systems.
Why Specify RoboVent BLADE Fans
- Lower energy usage through more efficient distribution of
warm or cool air
- Creates more constant floor-to-ceiling temperatures
to increase comfort
- Innovative design and construction is virtually maintenance-free
- Quiet and efficient, improves building conditions
- Can reduce or eliminate costly ductwork
- Inexpensive to operate
Designed For Safety
Special care has been taken to design and build a fan with safety features that prevent the rotor or blades from falling in the unlikely event of a hub or drive system failure. The collet-type friction drive bushing connecting the hub to the reducer shaft allows controlled slippage in the event of a seizure of the reducer mechanism or a failure of the soft start feature in the control panel.
Guaranteed Against Defects
RoboVent Blade fans are backed by a lifetime warranty on the blades and hub. The motor, gear reducer and VFD control panel are covered by a three year limited warranty.

Obligatory Spoiler Alert.
(Though just by looking at the covers above you can probably guess what's in the dungeon…)
Rappan Athuk is supposed to be unbeatable. The dungeon is full of deadly encounters which my result in a total party kill. I've seen it happen at my tabletop. Some players have trouble grasping the difficulty of the module. It was designed from a homebrew campaign in earlier editions of D&D.
The master of the dungeon is supposed to be too powerful–even if the player-characters complete specific quests in the dungeon.
Rappan Athuk came to us from Necromancer Games in the heady days of the D&D Third Edition. And it's been with us since, getting a conversion to D&D 3.5, then Swords & Wizardry and Pathfinder.
I've got Rappan Athuk: Reloaded–it tops around 400 pages as a PDF. It added all the free supplemental material you could access online via codes in the original three modules.
I've heard the Pathfinder version is longer with additional levels.
Rappan Athuk is a massive megadungeon. Your players can explore its rooms and passages for years and still not finish.
Heck, tramping around the wilderness near Rappan Athuk can be a campaign in its own right…. which got me to thinking:
In pre-Third Edition versions of D&D, characters reaching around 9th level could start building strongholds and attract followers. I know more recent editions of D&D have rules for this, but AD&D/OD&D specifically had rules for clearing out and claiming land so a character could build a stronghold.
And that's the key to bringing Rappan Athuk low.
A first wave of characters would explore and clear out the wilderness around Rappan Athuk. They would use the treasure found in wilderness lairs and the occasional foray into the dungeon itself to build a series of strongholds leading to the dungeon–establishing a chain of supply to more civilized lands.
A second wave would clear out certain key areas of the dungeon itself. And when they "retired," they, too, would either reinforce the existing strongholds or build their one.
The goal of the final wave: using the resources at hand they would attempt to clear the dungeon itself and banish the evil master of the dungeon once and for all.
Would it work?
A lot would depend on the patience of the DM and the players–such a campaign would take years in, and out of, game time.
I have no idea if anybody has ever attempted this… do you?

What is yellow foam in my garden.
- 21 May, 2010
any chance of a photo please to help us answer the question
22 May, 2010
Do you have pine trees near to your garden? This is the time of year that the yellow pollen falls from the trees and can look like foam. When I was working I used to expect at least one complaint a year of 'oil pollution' in water, which turned out to be a film of pollen on the surface.
22 May, 2010
That's interesting to read Bulbaholic, as we live near a forest with lots of pines. We were really concerned how the tracks through the forest turned yellow at this time of year and thought at first that someone had been dumping some horrible toxic waste on the surface until a friend pointed out it was the pollen from the trees, yellow like sulphur.
22 May, 2010
One year, Bertie, there was a report of a huge 'oil slick' in the Moray Firth which was coming ashore along the Banffshire coast. This turnedf out to be pol;len from the forests in Sutherland that had been carried on a NW wind.
22 May, 2010
does it look like builders expanded foam? if yes it is a sporing slime mould. nothing to worry about.

Thomas Leo "Tom" Clancy, Jr. was an American novelist and historian. He is best known for his technically detailed espionage and military science storylines set during and in the aftermath of the Cold War, and for video games that bear his name for licensing and promotional purposes.
His first effort, The Hunt for Red October sold briskly as a result of rave reviews. It went onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it "the perfect yarn" and "non-put-downable." Since then Clancy has established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense.
Seventeen of his novels were bestsellers, and more than 100 million copies of his books are in print. His name was also a brand for similar movie scripts written by ghost writers and non-fiction books on military subjects. He was a part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles and Vice Chairman of their Community Activities and Public Affairs committees.
Clancy died on October 1, 2013. Against All Enemies (2011), Locked On (2011), Threat Vector (2012) and Command Authority (2013) are some of his last works.

Improved URL Mapping for Castle MonoRail
Hammett announced a new MonoRail Routing Engine on his blog. The Routing Engine is responsible for mapping URL patterns to Controller actions, which has been a weakness of MonoRail so far. As Hammett stated on his blog, the need for an improvement has mainly been triggered by the announcement (and features) of the ASP.NET MVC Framework.
The basic idea is to map (friendly) URLs to the actions of your controllers:
Suppose you want to offer listing of say, cars. You want that the urls show the data that is being queries on the resource identifier, not through the query string (have you read about REST?).
Something like:
www.cardealer.com/listings/ -> can list all or show a search page, up to you
www.cardealer.com/listings/new/ -> shows a nationwide list of new cars
www.cardealer.com/listings/old/ -> shows a nationwide list of second hand cars
www.cardealer.com/listings/new/ford -> new ford cars
www.cardealer.com/listings/new/toyota -> new toyota cars
In order to allow for friendly URLs you'll have to remove all script mappings from your web site and route all requests to the ASP.NET ISAPI extension. Many people don't like the idea, stating that "no one would do or want to do such a thing". What's the problem with this approach? I've been developing web applications for several years (as part of enterprise applications) and I've never experienced the need to serve static content. What's the use of databases then? However, if you want to serve static content as well, you might follow David Moore's suggestion to "have the web site and a separate web site to handle static content (images/css/js)".
The Routing Engine is configured in the Application Start event:
PatternRule.Build("bycondition", "listings/<cond:new|old>", typeof(SearchController), "View"));
This piece of code tells the engine to route URL-requests such as "/listings/new" or "listings/old" to the SearchController's View action/method, which expects a parameter called "cond". The parameter values might be "new" or "old". The StandardUrlRules utility class allows to easily define generic patterns for all actions/methods of a controller.
The code is available from the MonoRail SVN repository.

ASP.NET MVC Framework
[Update]: Scott Hanselman has posted the videos of the ASP.NET MVC Framework talks.
Scott Guthrie announces ASP.NET MVC Framework at ALT.NET conference. There have been rumors about an MVC Framework for ASP.NET in March 2007, already. Jeffrey Palermo wrote about a special meeting with Scott Guthrie on the MVP Summit. Now Scott officially announces the framework and claims that we might expect a first CTP within the next two months and a V1 in Spring 2008. Jeffrey has the details.
He names some of the goals:
- Natively support TDD model for controllers.
- Provide ASPX (without viewstate or postbacks) as a view engine
- Provide a hook for other view engines from MonoRail, etc.
- Support IoC containers for controller creation and DI on the controllers
- Provide complete control over URLs and navigation
- Be pluggable throughout
- Separation of concerns
- Integrate nicely within ASP.NET
- Support static as well as dynamic languages
Nima Dilmaghani provides further details on Scott's talk and the integration points for existing ASP.NET technology and other frameworks such as Castle's MonoRail and Windsor. Even Roy Osherove praises the new MVP Framework for ASP.NET:
My take away - finally they get it. I wish there were more guthries out there in the b0rg.
Regarding the impact on MonoRail Jeffrey says:
MonoRail is MVC. This is MVC, so yes, it's very similar but different. This gives us a controller that executes before a view ever comes into play, and it simplifies ASPX as a view engine by getting rid of viewstate and server-side postbacks with the event lifecycle. That's about it. MonoRail is much more. MonoRail has tight integration with Windsor, ActiveRecord and several view engines. MonoRail is more than just the MVC part. I wouldn't be surprised if MonoRail were refactored to take advantage of the ASP.NET MVC HttpHandler just as a means to reduce the codebase a bit. I think it would be a very easy move, and it would probably encourage MonoRail adoption (even beyond its current popularity).
The Castle PMC has a similar take on the issue:
We also believe that MonoRail has been providing the same thing for the past two and half years, and will continue to do so. We're grateful that MS has chosen to offer integration points for Monorail and the Castle stack and as soon as it's available we will be working to integrate it with the rest of our projects.
Is MS' MVC better? Worse? Only once we have used both will we be able to tell.
I would like to agree with Jeffrey that this might encourage MonoRail adoption. At least both frameworks would share some common concepts and the programming models won't differ that much anymore. But common sense tells me that MSFT might try to do business as usual, i.e. make a (bad) copy of a good concept and get rid of the competing framework/tool along the way. I'll have to put my faith in Scott ;-) (who's proven to deserve as much several times).

Microsoft Releases Source Code for the .NET Framework
Scott Guthrie announces today that Microsoft will offer "the ability for .NET developers to download and browse the source code of the .NET Framework libraries, and to easily enable debugging support in them" later this year.
According to Daniel Moth
The cool bit is not that you can just read the framework code in your favourite text editor once you download and accept the license; no, the real goodness is that when you debug your applications with Visual Studio 2008 you will have the option to debug right down into the Framework code (with an autodownload feature from an MSDN server)!
Scott Hanselman has a Podcast on the topic and Channel9 will be publishing a video at the end of the week.

Junior Minister Alastair Ross has celebrated the Chinese Year of the Rooster with members of the Chinese community at a gala dinner in Belfast.
The annual event is organised by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Chinese Welfare Association.
Speaking at the event, Junior Minister Alastair Ross said: "It is a pleasure to join with members of the Chinese community in Northern Ireland to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
"The relationship between Northern Ireland and China continues to grow. The Northern Ireland Bureau in Beijing, funded by the Executive, has just completed its second, hugely successful operational year. Last year the Executive Ministers for Agriculture and Infrastructure visited various regions in China where they successfully promoted Northern Ireland agricultural produce, and infrastructure and investment objectives.
"We have also welcomed an increasing number of influential visits to Northern Ireland by Senior Chinese officials and Government delegations. These visits have built on the relationship we already had with China which can be productive for both countries.
"Over a very short period of our history, the Chinese community has become an integral part of our society and much valued influence on everyday life in Northern Ireland.
"A major factor in this is down to the invaluable work of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Welfare Association and Madam Wang, the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China.
"These relations continue to develop and have opened up hugely lucrative opportunities for local businesses, our universities and the local Arts sector.
"I want to assure our valued local Chinese community of our commitment to grow this important relationship."

Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets Pick-Odds-Prediction 12/2/13
Houston Rockets (13-5) at Utah Jazz (3-15)
NBA Basketball: Monday, December 2, 2013 at 9:00 pm (EnergySolutions Arena)
The Line: Utah Jazz +7.5 -- Over/Under: 199.5 See the Latest Odds
The Houston Rockets head to Utah on Monday to face off against the struggling Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz are just 3-15 on the year heading into their meeting with the Rockets on Monday, but perhaps this team can find some motivation after a solid 112-104 win over the Suns on Saturday in Phoenix. The Jazz have had little to get excited about this season for sure, but Utah finally put together a strong showing, as all five starters, and seven total reached double digit points on the night, as well as all five starters finished in the positive in the +/- category. Lading the Jazz against the Suns was Burke, who finished the night with 20 points and three assists with six boards.
Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports
The Houston Rockets are an impressive 13-5 overall this season, and currently the Rockets trail the Spurs by just 1.5 games in the Southwest. The Rockets head into their meeting with the Jazz winners of five straight, with their latest victory coming at the hands of the Spurs, in San Antonio on Saturday, 112-106. The Rockets are mowing through people right now, as three of the five wins in their current stretch have been by double digits. Houston's offense is ranked number one in the league currently in points per game, and if this continues for Houston, the Rockets will be a tough out come playoff time.
The Houston Rockets are 11-6 against the spread on the year, and when the Rockets are the favorite, Houston is 8-4 against the number. The Rockets are also in the black on the road, where Houston is 5-3 ATS this season. When Houston is facing a team with a losing record, Houston is 4-2 ATS this season.
The Jazz are 8-9 against the spread on the year, going 4-4 ATS at home. The Jazz are also playing well against the Southwest, going 4-1 against the division this season.
I'm going to go with the Jazz in this spot. Houston has been on a tear lately, but I feel this is a bad situation for the Rockets. Houston is coming off a huge road win on Saturday against the Spurs, and now they travel to Utah to face the lowly Jazz. Meanwhile the Jazz are coming off a solid road win as well, and may have the confidence to not only get the cover, but perhaps the outright win here against the Rockets on their home floor.

Steven Berkoff Biography
(1937– ), The Penal Colony, Metamorphosis, The Trial, Agamemnon, Fall of the House of Usher, Salome, East
class plays london east
British dramatist, born in London, educated at Hackney Downs Grammar School; he studied mime at the École Jacques Le Coq, Paris, finished his training for the stage at the Webber-Douglas Academy in London, and has since frequently appeared in adaptations and original plays written by himself. His work has always been notable for the opportunities it offers actors for bravura physical invention. It has also been marked by verbal daring, often comprising parodic poetic effects, and by a fierce anti-establishment thrust. His dramatic versions of other people's writings include Kafka's The Penal Colony (1968), Metamorphosis (1969), and The Trial (1971); Aeschylus's Agamemnon (1973); Poe's Fall of the House of Usher (1974); and Wilde's Salome (1989). His own plays include exotic portraits of contemporary London, East (1975) and West (1983); Greek (1979), a raucous satire of the Oedipus story; Decadence (1981), a bitter and scathing portrait of English social divisions as represented by an arrogant, gourmandizing upper-class lout and the working-class man he effortlessly intimidates; and Kvetch (1986), which switches from dialogue to aside in what becomes a feverish exposure of the fears, frustrations, and tensions beneath the surface of conventional lower middle-class life; One Man (1993), a trio of solo plays including one which memorably permitted Berkoff to embody both a yobbish East Ender and his dog; and Brighton Beach Scumbags (1994), about the doleful joys of a group of friends at a seaside resort.

Head to Finland for a Family-Friendly Ski Holiday
Finland is packed with family-friendly ski resorts that offer challenges for skiers of all levels.
The biggest ski resorts in Finland are on the fells of Lapland, the northern part of the country, but it wouldn't be far-fetched to say there's a ski hill outside every town. Even from central Helsinki, you can bus your way to a ski resort in less than an hour!
Finnish ski resorts are stress-free with no massive lift queues. The relaxed atmosphere and easy slopes are ideal for beginners and intermediates, but there are challenges for experts, too, in the form of steeper runs, snow parks and backcountry spots.
The season starts in late October and ends in early May, and reaches its peak in the springtime sun between February and April.
Here are a few tips on where to head for a laid-back ski holiday in Finland:
Levi, Kittilä Map
The most popular of Finnish ski destinations is a versatile resort with lots of gentle runs, a world cup slalom run, two snow parks, and plenty of forests for some off-piste adventures.
Levi website
Accommodation in Levi
Ylläs, Kolari Map
Ylläs has long skiing traditions and the twin resorts on two sides of the Ylläs fell make up Finland's largest ski area with a selection of runs for all skill levels as well as two snow parks. The six surrounding fells will please backcountry enthusiasts.
Ylläs website
Accommodation in Ylläs
Pyhä, Pelkosenniemi Map
The "Holy Hill" is a bit quieter a resort than the two above and well known for its backcountry opportunities. There's a score of easy slopes, kids' runs as well as a snow park. Pyhä lies on the edge of a national park, and close-by sibling resort Luosto offers an extension to skiing options.

Serena, Espoo Map
Located in Espoo next to Helsinki, this small hill with a snow park provides a great outing on a city break and can be reached by bus from central Helsinki.

Energy: Looking for the free ecological lunch
A leak from a gas rig in the middle of the North Sea is once again throwing up questions about the relative safety of different forms of energy.
The story has so far been told from the human point of view, and why not - clearly it's very much a safety issue when you have inflammable gas percolating up through the sea, and some of the same gas on fire as it emerges from a stack on top of the Elgin rig.
With all the workers now off the rig, scientists are starting to look at the ecological effect of having so much gas bubbling into the water column.
They're the same type of questions that were asked in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, and when the stricken Fukushima nuclear power station began flushing radioactive elements into the oceans just over a year ago.
Elgin field gas is mainly methane - the stuff we burn in our cookers - but it also contains related substances: propane and butane, as well as others such as hydrogen sulphide.
A "sheen" of condensate from this is apparently lying on the sea surface, containing up to about 20 tonnes of material.
What's of more concern ecologically is what impact the gases may have had as they bubbled up through the water, in quantities that have not yet been evaluated.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) said "there is no indication of a risk of significant pollution to the environment".
Not all scientists are as sanguine.
"Methane and hydrogen sulphide, when dissolved in water, are highly toxic to most higher forms of marine life," said Christoph Gertler, who studies bioremediation at Bangor University.
"It can be assumed that fish will avoid the area immediately affected by the spill, but in any case the effects of hydrogen sulphide and methane are more acute than chronic, and there should be no accumulation in the food chain."
Perhaps no long-term impact, then, but a possible short-term shock.
We're nearly two years on from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which saw oil (along with gases such as methane) streaming into the Gulf of Mexico at rates of about 40,000 barrels a day for months. The impact on the coastline was starkly seen through oiled pelicans, dead seagrasses, and slicks stretching for miles.
But underwater was a different matter. Only now is it becoming clear.
Last week the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said: "Since February 2010, more than 675 dolphins have stranded in the northern Gulf of Mexico - a much higher rate than the usual average of 74 dolphins per year."
Further along the coast, away from the peak oil plume, stranding rates are normal.
Noaa has declared this an Unusual Mortality Event and is investigating the causes of death. The main clue so far is that some of the dolphins show significant imbalances in hormone levels.
In one sense this is really surprising. Dolphins are among the most intelligent marine animals, highly mobile and adaptable.
So why didn't they take evasive action? There are several possible explanations.
You might also ask what the impacts are likely to be on other less intelligent, less mobile and less adaptable creatures.
The gulf is a spawning ground for fish including bluefin tuna; before too long we may discover whether Deepwater Horizon affected spawning during the 2010 Spring.
Half a world away, meanwhile, the impacts of the Fukushima outflow on marine life are equally hard to measure, but appear so far to be negligible.
In October, a US-Japanese research team published a scientific paper concluding that although much more research remained to be done, there appeared to be "minimal impact on marine biota or humans due to direct exposure [to radioactive nuclides] in surrounding ocean waters".
And just last month, one of the scientists involved, Ken Buesseler, told a US scientific meeting that although elements from Fukushima could be detected in organisms 600km from the stricken power station, their radioactivity was dwarfed by the natural radioactivity in seawater.
Bans on fishing and on eating fish remain in place, and Japan is setting tighter limits for acceptable levels of radioactive contamination in seafood products.
But overall, Fukushima - the largest ever release of radioactive material to the oceans apart from nuclear bomb explosions - has produced no impact on marine life that has yet been discerned.
(And plans to build a wind farm near Fukushima to replace lost electricity generation capacity and regional employment are under attack from fishermen, who fear the turbine towers will damage their generally productive fishing grounds.)
Meanwhile, marine mammals in the Arctic carry mercury levels high enough that they make toxic eating for indigenous peoples who have traditionally consumed them. The main anthropogenic source of mercury is coal burning, the heavy metal sent up power station chimneys and carried polewards on the wind.
We all need energy of some kind - and the global demand is set to increase as both the human population and our consumption grow.
So ecological footprint is a key factor in determining which energy sources to use - which is why we need to carefully dissect the impact of accidents such as Elgin, Deepwater Horizon and Fukushima.

Federal Circuit Bar Association Scholarship
Application Deadline: April 20, 2004
The Federal Circuit Bar Association ("FCBA") is a national
organization comprised of over 2,500 attorneys interested
in all aspects of the jurisdiction of the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the appellate
court that hears appeals in all patent cases. Through its
Charitable and Educational Fund, the Association offers
economic assistance to law students having a potential interest
in legal issues that may be appealed to the Federal Circuit.
An award of $10,000, in memory of Giles S. Rich, Circuit
Judge, United States District Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, will be given by the Federal Circuit Bar Association
to a law student showing financial need and demonstrated
academic promise, either in undergraduate studies or in
law school. Students who will be entering law school
in Fall 2004 are eligible to apply for this award.
Judge Rich was a Circuit Judge on the Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit, and its predecessor court, the
Court of Customs and Patent Appeals ("CCPA") from 1956 to
1999. Before joining the CCPA, he was instrumental in drafting
the major revision of the patent laws of the United States
that were enacted in 1952. At the time of his death, he
was the oldest federal judge serving on active status in
the history of the United States. Besides the length of
his judicial career, he consistently demonstrated a dedication
to the law, the rule of law, and our court system that was
unmatched. In addition to being the recognized "last word"
on patent law, he brought his intellect to every case before
him whether it involved tax law, international trade, government
employment practices, environmental law, governmental contracts,
or intellectual property. A super writer and scholar, he
was also fascinated by technology, a world class photographer,
and a genuinely wonderful human being.
