A Healthy Brown Movement
Interest in the fabulous wines of Carbon Footprint (Wine Enthusiast, for example, recently scored their 2008 "Offshore Oil Spill" Chardonnay at 96 points, though no one reads Wine Enthusiast except the proofreaders and people in waiting rooms at psychiatric hospitals) has also spawned great interest in the fledgling Brown Movement in wine. (And it's easy for a consumer to actually smell the Brown Movement in a wine--so many wines proudly do.) The tiresome histrionics of those who would have us believe that natural or organic or BioDynamic wines are better than real wines, and better for you, has led to this natural backlash. The Brown Movement is dedicated to saving the world from the Feiringization of wines (named for wine writer and librarian impersonator Alice Feiring who has tirelessly and admirably crusaded for natural wines while suffering from dysgeusia) and the sissification of the wine industry itself, and to promoting the use of as much of the world's natural resources as possible before those loser Millennials take over and ruin the fun for the rest of us. The Millennials are a seriously dull lot.
The recently formed Brown Movement Society (Motto: Have you enjoyed BM'S today?) is an association made up of Brown wineries, Brown PR people and UPS drivers (why just this morning I could be heard chanting, "Go Big Brown!" during my morning ablutions), among others, who have joined together to promote the awakening of the Brown wine industry. They seem to have tapped into the American wine consumer's dreams and desires, and the Brown Movement is gaining in popularity. Though some might say the Brown Movement was simply waiting for the proper peristaltic moment to make its big splash.
The Brown Movement Society has put together a list of wineries that are Certified Brown. Becoming Certified Brown is an arduous process and the list of requirements is lengthy and demanding. In brief, the consumer can rest assured that any wine purchased from a Certified Brown winery was produced with only one goal in mind--making a great wine at the expense of the environment! We've come to expect this from so many industries, from McDonald's admirable devotion to destroying rain forests (do you know how many creepy insects lived there that might have infested Ronald McDonald Houses?), to DeBeers making every bride proud of the exploitation of poverty-ridden and starving Africans with that shiny thing on her finger, to the automobile industry's devoted destruction of the oceans and Alaskan tundra (but at least Toyota had the class to name a truck "Tundra"--which is like naming a nuclear weapon "Hiroshima"), so why not hold the wine industry to the same standard of excellence?
I recently attended the first Brown Movement tasting at Fort Mason in SF (which was organized at the behest of Alder Yarrow, who was kind enough to let others attend), Consume Resources Advocates and Producers, and I came away impressed by a good, healthy CRAP. I won't try and list my scores of all the wines there, (for an overview, check out Alder's Vornography website for his evaluation of all 548 wines presented during the three hour tasting) but I thought I'd provide a quick overview of a couple of the wineries I found most impressive, both for the quality of their wines and for their dedication to the Brown Movement.
I was happy to see my old friend Bowie Teak of Bowie Teak Winery there serving wines from his eponymous winery in Napa Valley. (Bowie made his fortune from his invention Boner in a Can see my April post on Bowie Teak, and has a new product out which is also sure to add to his fortune, an instant breast enlargement product called Titsicles!) Boo explained briefly how he had always been into the Brown Movement, he just didn't know it. "After all, HoseMaster, I hired David Aboo to design my vineyard to maximize soil erosion, his specialty, and I very carefully tented my 250 acres and fumigated it for a couple of weeks to make sure every damn microbe and bug was dead. The key to making great Cabernet Sauvignon is environmental exploitation--death makes us stronger." Wise words from Boo, and, indeed, his Bowie Teak Winery 2007 "Where the Dead Things Are" (Artist Label Series by Maurice Sendak) Pritchard Hill Cabernet is a perfect expression of the the classic Napa Valley Boutique Winery terroir--black currant and cassis fruit followed by the definitive soullessness that these wines are famous for. At $250/bottle it's a bit steep, but so's the hillside vineyard that's mostly slipped into Lake Hennessey; and the wine comes in a 15 pound bottle designed by Waterford guaranteed to pump lead into your guest's bloodstream, so you get your money's worth.
At the table serving the vibrant and aromatic wines of Toxic Runoff Vineyards I had a chance to speak to its owner, the opinionated Murky Rivers. "I have 200 acres, and I own all of it. If I want to flush chemicals and fertilizer into my creek, who's to stop me? " Murky told me. "I'm damned proud of my wines, and damned proud to have cleared the creek down to the lowest critter on the food chain. Say, have you had my Chardonnay with trout? Mighty fine eatin'" Indeed, the Toxic Runoff 2008 "Acid Rain" Chardonnay was amazing. "The secret," Murky told me, "was how often we turned on the irrigation in the vineyard. Lots of folks are stingy with water, and the vines don't like it. We run the big overhead sprinklers day and night during the growing season to help the vines. And, as a bonus, it also washes all the pesticides into the creek." Murky is justifiably proud of the waste of water, and the water waste, that every bottle of Toxic Runoff represents. And, on a personal note, he was also proud of his Siamese triplet grandsons, who he was using as a table decoration to hold his business cards and brochures.

One little known fact overlooked in this focus on the BM is that Bowie Teak has gained approval from the FDA to put Boner In A Can into his Pritchard Hill Cabernet. That is why those wines get such high scores from reviewers. Any wine that gives you a stiffy must be good worth 98 points.

So... I need to ask: what constitutes/gives wine its soul, how is it expressed and what do I look for when smelling/tasting the wine?

- August 9, 2010 at 2:34 PM
No. I'm doing it right. But I want to know what is "soul" in wine.
- August 9, 2010 at 3:03 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
Okay....gentle ribbing is not so much your thing. Asking to define soul is like asking to define pleasure, it's all subjective kid. For me I find soul in the wines of Burgundy from producers like Maume and Camus-Bruchon and in Loire from people like Chidaine and Fontainerie. I think soulless wines are those from producers that over polish and rob wine of character, but that's just me. Just curious, can you define soul...like in a person, written piece of literature or in music? For me I think of soulful much like I do of attractiveness....in the eye of the beholder.
- August 9, 2010 at 3:36 PM
I found sole in wine one day. It was on old Chablis and it smelled a little fishy. So I held the glass up the light, and there it was. Other than that, I have never smelled sole in wine.
But, I will tell you this, Arthur, I know it when I smell it--especially if the wine is more than a few days old.

Ron, you had me at dysgeusia. But I would argue that the Feiring-monger has moved past mere dysgeusia, all the way to ageusia, which is the complete lack of taste. Not that any such fault should bother the Hosemaster. Lack of taste? C'est mon raison d'être! PS: my verification word might also apply to cher Alice... it's colitism.
- August 9, 2010 at 4:39 PM
- Thomas said...
Colitism: seriously, Paul?
That's rich.
Arthur, a wine's soul is like the holy spirit: invented to keep people in a constant state of fear so that we never get to enjoy anything.
My verification word is inter, which some would claim is what the Hosemaster needs.
Has Google run out of gibberish already?
- August 9, 2010 at 4:50 PM
- Ron Washam said...
Everything worth knowing in life, from love to friendship to me, is inexplicable in the scientific terms you prefer. If I had a soul, I wouldn't want to know how to explain it any more than I want to explain why my wife loves me. Many things are best left unquestioned.
So you look for the soul in a wine right next to its terroir and beneath its elegance.
If I parody you I don't really need any more ammunition than you've already given me the past few years.
Yeah, that Siamese triplet thing just appeared out of nowhere (I know, Arthur, how do we explain nowhere in our mind?)as I was finishing the piece. It was such an odd thought I had to keep it. Glad you liked it, Thomas, I was truly afraid it would fall flat. Or flatulent.
My Gorgeous Samantha,
I agree with your feelings about soul in wines. There is something in wines that we love that speaks to us, that is ineffable, but is a quality that makes us feel more connected to the wine and gives us a deeper feeling of satisfaction drinking it. Lame explanation. But I've often dismissed wines that were prestigious or highly scored because I felt they just lacked "something," and maybe that something is a soul.
Hey, look at me, I been Feiringized!!! Help!
I love you!
I try to see every post on HoseMaster as a valuable vocabulary lesson. Dysgeusia is a lovely word, like anosmia. Not used often, but extremely lovely. Just saying them outloud is very satisfying.
My blog certainly suffers from ageusia, and I'm damned proud of it.
- August 9, 2010 at 7:20 PM
I'm not looking for a stoichiometric, balanced equation. Take a wine grape variety and explain to me which elements of one example represent soul (or character) and how another one, lacking those, lacks soul and character.
Is it rarefied characteristics traceable to the grape, the wood, the yeast, the vintage or something in the synergy of those with the soil and climate? Is it a touch of brett? a hint of mercaptan? A derisively in-your-face inkling of residual sugar? ripe characteristics precariously perched on the edge of decency?
Know it when you see it? Fine. Recall the last time you saw it and describe it. Don't just say: this one has it and that one doesn't. Say what "it" is. If it can't be articulated by skilled wordsmiths then it does not exist in the wine. It is a product of the individual's imagination. And as such, it does not exist.
Which brings me back to Thomas' point and comment about not enjoying anything: I often get the feeling that many wine "critics" and "commentators" just don't enjoy anything. They use terms like "one-dimensional" when the wine in their mouth does not fulfill some unrealistic fantasy characteristic of a self-imposed virgins who really, really would like to, but are too afraid...
- August 9, 2010 at 10:14 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
Okay explain the color yellow to me as if I never had sight. Explain how it sounds to hear Ray Charles sing Georgia as if I never knew sound. If you cannot does that mean they do not exist? You are looking for a scientific explanation to an emotion....that, that I am willing to agree may not exist. What does love feel like? What does passion feel like? What does heartbreak feel like? What is sexy? These things can only be understood completely by the one that is feeling it....
- August 9, 2010 at 10:34 PM
The analogy of yellow to a blind person or sound to a deaf person is invalid for the following reason:
I drink wine. You drink wine. we both have the same sensory hardware. You and I may have different emotional reactions to a wine, but the wine does not change. All that changes is the person drinking it (and their reaction).
As we are separate beings, but with much in common as far as sensation and experiences go, you should be able to convey to me what is "soul" and "character" in a wine.
This is far more philosophy than science.
More accurately, it is a matter of pushing your linguistic (and perhaps tasting) skills (rather than demeaning or invalidating your experience).
- August 9, 2010 at 11:10 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
Okay then I ask again (keeping our able working parts in mind) what does love feel like? What is sexy? What does heartbreak feel like?
- August 9, 2010 at 11:15 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
Oh and more importantly, does it feel the same each time?
- August 9, 2010 at 11:47 PM
- Thomas said...
So, how did this conversation get to the philosophical?
My 2 cents: emotional response to anything is personal and indescribable, but that doesn't stop people from applying an array of adjectives to the response.
The real question isn't what's a wine's soul or what is love, but what's is the measure of language and communication?
No matter how many times aesthetic critics try, with no matter how many well constructed sentences, they can hardly ever make others feel exactly the same about a particular wine, because our emotional response cannot be put into their words and their emotional response cannot be put into our minds.
- August 10, 2010 at 5:23 AM
Let S = Soul; let C = Character.
SC = (I x D x F)+ (A x T) - U
where I = intensity of flavor, D = density of texture, F = fruit correct to varietal/terroir, A = appropriate/balanced acidity, T = tannic appropriate/correct, and U = any unpleasant characteristics. Please apply only empirical evaluations, and DO NOT allow emotion or subjectivity to interfere with your official Soul rating. Hope that helps.
- August 10, 2010 at 8:01 AM
"I try to see every post on HoseMaster as a valuable vocabulary lesson."
And we appreciate the sempiternity of your efforts. I know I often spend more time googling definitions than reading the post and comments.
So thanks a 1.0 * 10^6 to our honorable HM (HHM?) for juicing our vocabularity, in addition to dysgeusia, asnomia, and ageusia, I've gone on to learn about Hypogeusia (another one of the Marx Brothers), Hypergeusia (the Aflac spokes-shill), and parageusia, a condition one can contract by opening Boner in a Can with your teeth. Also, I believe, the latter capitalized is a popular wine from NAPA.

Thomas, you cynic. :-} I pretty much know what Sam means when her pubic voice speaks. Words have power, majesty, the ability to transport us. Do they mean exactly the same thing to everyone? That is not the point of wine criticism, and trying to make it so does not undue the notion that "soul" in wine does bring up useful connotations to many people.
The person in my tasting group who uses the word is referring to a mix of inner strength, depth and range. I get it when he says a wine is low on the "soul-o-meter". He gets it when I say a wine lacks "seriosity".
I accept that some people may not like to describe wines in such imprecise terms, but I have a sense of what those words imply and so do lots of others. And we have brains and imaginations.
Your final argument can be stood on its head thusly.
Good writing reaches into our souls and moves us. Whether we are talking about wine or a Miles Davis or John Coltrane solo or what Sam feels when he four-year old neighbor looks into her eyes, we can get it. We can get it because good writing transports us there.
We get lost in good novels and good movies because we get drawn in by the words and actions. We even feel what Alice Feiring feels despite the fact that Ron is lampooning her. We get the sense that he has hit bone, and some of us laugh at the brilliance of that portrayal and some of us cringe. Some of us even do both. But, we have an emotional response.
Even words about wine can elicit strong responses of recognition. Gerald Asher's writings regularly did that for me and lots and lots of others. And he never ever resorted to precise measurements of TA, pH, color density, tannin in ppm or any other of the technical analysis that might be called "precision". He painted word pictures and we believed them, we felt them.
I happen to wander by Alice's blog yesterday (someone must be a legend in her own time if we refer to her by her first name and know about whom we are speaking--sort of like STEVE! and his Bobness and Marvin and Huckleberry) because her name came up in the comments above. I have never written the way she writes--too cute by half for me--but I get it nonetheless. You do get to "feel" her, which is why Ron was able to write such a bone-rattling lampoon of her.
Bottom line: Our common experiences allow us to use words that evoke emotions and understand what those words mean.

I have a headache.
Arthur, I write jokes not philosophy. The existence of a soul has been argued by far greater minds than mine for thousands of years, and, frankly, I'm more interested in Titsicles! If I wanted to stretch my linguistic skills I'd never read a single wine blog. Especially not the soulless Palate Press and Catavino.
Which reminds me, where is your blog? It seems to have vanished. And I know you put your heart and soul into it. Are you redesigning, or abandoning?
I still have a headache.

"Good writing reaches into our souls and moves us."
I agree completely, I just don't think that everyone is moved the same way, and some are even moved in the opposite direction.
As a writer, I have an inventory of both praising and nasty letters. Many times, whether praising or cursing me, it seems the reader understood his or her own agenda in my words and then went with it.
Not that words can't move people--just that they aren't precise enough for everyone to simulate the writer's emotions. In fact, I believe that wine--and everything else--has a soul. I just don't know how to describe that soul and I don't know if anyone else has ever made me feel what he or she thinks is a wine's soul. Alice F. certainly tries, but to me it comes off as a truly personal sensibility that lacks both depth and subject knowledge. Maybe that's my agenda, but she certainly doesn't tell me what a wine's soul is.
"Our common experiences allow us to use words that evoke emotions and understand what those words mean."
This is exactly what turns me away from aesthetic criticism: it relies on "common experience."
If you don't share that experience, the words either don't much matter or they lead you in an erroneous direction.

For those of you just tuning in, this is NOT the usual HoseMaster dialogue. We do not rate wines on the Avogadro scale, though I do love guacamole. Nor do we usually discuss the soul of wine and whether or not it exists. We have been hacked by aliens from other blogs who have temporarily seized control.
Please pretend none of the previous 29 comments exist and post accordingly. If you ignore them, they just might go away.

I think our wines meet the standards of the Brown movement. We have our Skid Mark Tawny Port and our mahogany coloured Brick Schit House Red. I was told by our consultant that all of our wines qualify as Brown because we let all the leaves on the vine turn brown before we pick the grapes. In a good year, the leaves are not just brown but fallen to the ground before we send in Juan and Carlos to pick those brittle clusters. It's amazing how little picking costs when you are Brown and you pay by the pound. Later when we pump those brown puppies up with water the fun begins. And Juan and Carlos haven't a clue, they still adore us.
Becky and I are so happy we have our place in the Napa.

I just took two aspirin and finally found a reason to use (mangle) a hackneyed quote that I never cease to enjoy but which has nothing to do with the scatological heart of this post ... though it may have something to do with virgins:

I like to say, "Wine blogging is its own punishment." Sounds like an aphorism but has the added bonus of being meaningless. Like everything I write.
And Welcome Aboard!
Dear Mr. Banal,
The very nature of your wines keeps you from being Certified Brown. Banal wines are Certified Mauve. However, I don't blame you for wanting to jump on the Brown Bandwagon, though your presence there would certainly make the movement itself Banal.
I think I saw that video on Wine Harlots, right?
Or was it BrixChicks? Had to be.
Tamara Love,
It does the soul (stay out of it, Arthur) good to spend a post doing potty humor. The entire Green Wine movement has turned into simple pandering and disingenuous marketing. It deserves having some good old-fashioned, particularly aromatic shit thrown at it.
By the way, I'm so happy when you stop by.

Stop heartburn from becoming cancer
By Stacey Colino
From Live Right Live Well
When you have a persistent, painful digestive woe -- like chronic heartburn or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), an ulcer or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) -- you may have wondered whether it may one day lead to serious complications, such as cancer.
And indeed, some of these conditions have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. In fact, the Esophageal Cancer Action Network named April "Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month" to bring national attention to this sneaky disorder, which has few, if any, symptoms in its early stages -- but has been linked to GERD.
The good news: "Currently, we have available excellent methods of identifying early cancers or precancerous conditions of the gastrointestinal tract that are completely curable, so the key is to see your doctor early," says Dr. Charlene Prather, a gastroenterologist and professor of internal medicine at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Here's what you need to know to stop heartburn or any other digestive ailment from becoming cancer:
Chronic Heartburn/GERD
Cancer risk: Chronic heartburn, or GERD, puts you at increased risk of a complication called Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition involving cellular changes that result from chronic exposure to acid and inflammation. Barrett's esophagus, in turn, puts you at increased risk of esophageal cancer, says Prather. "The risk is 0.5 percent per year, so if you're 50 and you live to age 80, the risk of cancer is 15 percent."
What you can do to protect yourself: If you have chronic heartburn or GERD, it's essential that you have regular upper endoscopies (a procedure that involves inserting a lighted, flexible tube into the esophagus) and biopsies (if necessary) to help doctors detect esophageal cancer early. Depending on the level of abnormal cells that are found, "ablation procedures, which involve burning or freezing the inside lining of the esophagus and allowing new cells to heal over it, can usually be done," Prather explains.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Cancer risk: Good news! You can cross this one off your worry list. "People suffer profoundly from irritable bowel syndrome, but it does not affect your risk of cancer in any way," says Prather.
What you can do to protect yourself: No extra screening measures are required, but be sure to get regular checkups and routine colonoscopies, which experts recommend for everyone. This is especially important if you have a family history of colon cancer.
Cancer risk: Most stomach ulcers are related to either excessive use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen or naproxen, or to infection with the Helicobacter pylori bacteria (H. pylori, for short). NSAID-related ulcers don't increase the risk of cancer, but H. pylori "is considered a carcinogen," says Prather.
What you can do to protect yourself: "If you have an ulcer caused by [H. pylori], you should be treated with antibiotics and checked to see if the infection is cured afterward," Prather says. If the infection goes away, so does the increased risk of stomach cancer.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Cancer risk: If you have ulcerative colitis, you have a 5 to 10 percent lifetime risk of developing colon cancer, says Prather. With Crohn's disease, if the entire colon is involved, that can increase the risk of colon cancer after 8 to 10 years, she adds.
What you can do to protect yourself: You should have a colonoscopy and surveillance biopsy every one to two years to catch early signs of cancer and treat them. "The better you keep your disease under control, the less likely you are to develop cancer," says Prather.

PXE Network Windows Installation
Howto use your Funtoo machine to serve a MS Windows installation over the network In this guide we will assume that you have followed the PXE network boot server Wiki article and have a working network/pxe boot setup. As of now this guide will cover Windows XP. Soon it will be expanded to also cover Windows 7.
- A working Funtoo installation
- A working PXE Setup (DHCP, TFTP, PXELinux)
- app-arch/cabextract
- A legitimate copy of Microsoft Windows
- Driver for your NIC - Suggested to use a complete driver pack with all major supported NIC hardware for the version of Windows to be installed.
- RIS Linux toolkit >=0.4
- A working Samba server setup
Creating the Windows XP Image
- In the previous guide, PXE Network Boot Server, we used /tftproot as the working directory so we will also use it in this guide for convenience. If you chose to use a different working directory then please apply it where needed in place of the /tftproot we will be going by here.
First you will need to create an ISO from your Windows XP installation disc. If you already have the ISO image you may skip this step.
# dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/tftproot/winxp.iso
If your cdrom device isn't
/dev/sr0 please use the appropriate device in this command.
Mount the ISO and Prepare Installation Sources
Mount the image to
# mkdir /tftproot/cdrom; mount -o loop /tftproot/winxp.iso /tftproot/cdrom
Create the new directory for the network installation files and copy the needed files to it:
# mkdir /tftproot/winxp; cp -R /tftproot/cdrom/i386 /tftproot/winxp/i386
Depending on your CD/DVD copy of windows the directory name may be I386 as opposed to i386, if that is the case you will just need to change the first part of the command, keeping the new directory name i386 - this is going to be very important later on when creating the remap file! Check the contents of your newly created i386 directory to see if the filenames are in all CAPS or if they are already in lowercase.
# ls /tftproot/winxp/i386
If you happen to have all UPPERCASE filenames, lets go ahead and run a script to convert it to all lowercase:
# cd /tftproot/winxp/i386;ls | awk '$0!=tolower($0){printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n",$0,tolower($0)}' | sh
Extracting and Modifying the Required Boot Files
Install app-arch/cabextract
# emerge app-arch/cabextract
Extract the prepackaged drivers:
# cd /tftproot/winxp/i386;cabextract driver.cab
Install support for a large list of network cards:
# cd /tftproot/;wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bootfloppy/pxefiles.tar.gz # tar zxvf pxefiles.tar.gz; cp pxefiles/drivers/* winxp/i386/
Copy the BINLSRV /INFParser tools to /tftproot:
# cp pxefiles/script/* /tftproot/
Extract the netboot startrom:
# cd /tftproot; cabextract winxp/i386/startrom.n1_
Fix the startrom for netbooting xp:
# sed -i -e 's/NTLDR/XPLDR/gi' startrom.n12 # mv startrom.n12 winxp.0
Fix XPLDR:
# cabextract winxp/i386/setupldr.ex_ # sed -i -e 's/winnt\.sif/winxp\.sif/gi' setupldr.exe # sed -i -e 's/ntdetect\.com/ntdetect\.wxp/gi' setupldr.exe # mv setupldr.exe xpldr # cp winxp/i386/ntdetect.com ntdetect.wxp
Creating a remapping file
Create the file
/tftproot/tftpd.remap and add the following to it:
ri ^[az]: # Remove "drive letters" rg \\ / # Convert backslashes to slashes rg \# @ # Convert hash marks to @ signs rg /../ /..no../ # Convert /../ to /..no../ rg A a rg B b rg C c rg D d rg E e rg F f rg G g rg H h rg I i rg J j rg K k rg L l rg M m rg N n rg O o rg P p rg Q q rg R r rg S s rg T t rg U u rg V v rg W w rg X x rg Y y rg Z z r ^/(.*) \1 r ^xpldr xpldr r ^ntdetect.wxp ntdetect.wxp r ^winxp.sif winxp.sif
Install/Configure Samba
If you don't already have net-fs/samba installed, then:
# emerge net-fs/samba
Create a Samba share for your tftp server in
Be sure you have the other required samba settings configured in the file
[Global] interfaces = lo eth0 wlan0 bind interfaces only = yes workgroup = WORKGROUP security = user [tftproot] path = /tftproot browsable = true read only = yes writable = no guest ok = yes
Start Samba:
# /etc/init.d/samba start
or if samba has already been started:
# /etc/init.d/samba restart
Creating a Setup Instruction File
Create the file
/tftproot/winxp.sif and add the following, replacing SAMBA_SERVER_IP with the local IP address of your samba server:
[data] floppyless = "1" msdosinitiated = "1" ; Needed for second stage OriSrc = "\\SAMBA_SERVER_IP\tftproot\winxp\i386" OriTyp = "4" LocalSourceOnCD = 1 DisableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin = 1 [SetupData] OsLoadOptions = "/fastdetect" ; Needed for first stage SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\SAMBA_SERVER_IP\tftproot\winxp" [UserData] ComputerName = *
Edit your boot menu so that it contains the following entry:
LABEL WinXP MENU LABEL Install MS Windows XP KERNEL winxp.0
Re-Start all required daemons
If the daemon isn't already running use start instead or restart in the following commands
# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart # /etc/init.d/in.tftpd restart
Modify Binlsrv, update driver cache, and start driver hosting service
Change the BASEPATH= variable at or around line #62 of
binlsrv.py so that it is:
Generate driver cache:
# cd /tftproot;./infparser.py winxp/i386/
Start binlservice:
# ./binlsrv.py
Booting the client
If all is well, you should be able to boot the client choosing to boot from network in the boot options, you should get to your PXELinux bootloader, and see the Install Windows XP option after pressing enter you *should* kick off your XP installation via network!! Congratulations!

CMH Heli Pow Laps With Austin Smith And Curtis Ciszek
Photos from a pow surfing party with Curtis Ciszek and Austin Smith deep in the Monashee Mountains of interior B.C. Canada.
The four days at the Canadian Mountain Holiday Monashee Lodge had us wishing it were a Canadian Holiday, everyday. It was truthfully some of the best riding we had ever experienced. We felt like we found the holy grail of snowboarding. It was bottomless everyday and there were more pillows here than a nationwide sorority slumber party. Seriously, the snow stacked up to create some of the most unique, drooping features I'd ever seen, and they were on every run. Plus, avy conditions were minimal so we rode wherever the heli could take us.
Austin, Curtis and the crew bounded like deer the whole way down. Yelps, hoots, and the noise of stoke echoed down every gully. Once the trees opened up, each run was like a massive rolling skatepark. "Ollies for days!" Yelled Curtis. (Wait for his GoPro commentary, it's ridiculous). The undulating features were so damn fun to ride, and it was almost better for our health to not think about what laid beneath them. The couple cracked off pillows and cliffs day after day while we all choked on fresh powder and haggled the skiers in our group.
The riding was off the charts, but that's only half of the equation. The lodge is deluxe and not a bad spot to spend a down day or two. (We had a couple). It has lakefront views, moose in the front yard and wolves howling in the evening. The gourmet kitchen constantly edged us towards gluttony. The climbing wall, wood-fired sauna, hot tub, and pub games kept us occupied. So did the German game of Nägel, where you take turns trying to smash a nail into a piece of wood with a pointy hammer. (Beer helps for this one.) Entertainment takes on a whole new meaning when you're cooped up in the woods.
For a few dirtbags like Austin and Curtis it was a pretty nice five-star recharge before diving back into the rigors of filming and winter life on the road. It definitely made us all ponder million-dollar ideas, inventions, investments and ways to save up so we could ride here on a regular basis. Because a couple days of chasing pow with a helicopter to can easily change your life. It certainly changed ours.

Take a mom of 3, stir in 4 vegan cookbooks, add a rounded cup of staying at home, and mix with a hefty pinch of recipe testing!
Thursday, March 01, 2012
Why I Don't Blog My Children
We hadn't yet started a family with the release of my first cookbook (The Everyday Vegan) - but had our first baby shortly after. By the time my second cookbook (Vive le Vegan) was published, our daughter was 2 1/2. As many of you know, she is on the cover of that book and inside in some family photos. So, it might seem odd that I haven't shared other photos of our girls since.
Once I started blogging and my profile as an author increased, hubby and I talked about this issue. I decided that I didn't want to continue to show photos of our girls (as our family was expanding). It's not that I don't want to share them with you. I'd love to. And, I'm not critical of other bloggers that do share their family moments. It's just not right for me, for a few reasons....
First, and this is most unusual to say, but when I was a child we had a voyeur (or what we called a 'peeping tom') at our house, for many years. While we joke about it at times as adults, as a kid it was no joke. I won't go into details but it's enough to say that an experience like that doesn't ever leave you. I never assume that a house is safe because of a particular neighbourhood, or that a blog is friendly because of the people you know reading it. Because there are many you don't know. Sounds paranoid, I get that. But, it's part of the reason I keep my children largely anonymous on my blog - at least until they have grown and gained more maturity and independence.
Second, I guess I have felt that this is my journey, not theirs. I am a cookbook author, they are kids. I don't want their lives to be about "being on mommy's blog", or "being on the internet"... children don't understand the depth and breadth of the internet. I know for my own daughters - they think that if they are on the internet, they are "famous". I don't want their self-worth to be attached to my work. And, I also want to separate my girls from my work so that my recipes stand on their own. I started writing recipes before having children, and though I've evolved greatly due to my role as a mother, I still want my recipes to be about healthy food (whether for adults, kids, or both) that is damn delicious!
Third, I don't have everything figured out as a mother - or an individual. I am learning along the way, like everyone else. Yes, I'd LOVE to show you photos of my toddler in her cute pj's and mussy hair, and our middle girls with the biggest smile imaginable eating chocolate pudding, and our eldest with the biggest smile ever eating strawberries, and all the beautiful moments of joy, love, play, excitement, innocence, pure beauty in between. How I would LOVE to share that. But - I wouldn't also be sharing the sucky, painful, and frustrating moments. The times I am completely and utterly overwhelmed as a mother - or feel like I am messing everything up. The fights between the girls, the times I've shouted and screamed, or sobbed or felt enraged. The postpartum days and months to follow that are gruelling and lonely and sometimes depressing... and for me led to lengthy bouts of insomnia. The endless cleaning and mess - and seemingly endless bickering! The times I think I'm royally messing everything up as a mother and screwing up my children. The individual challenges we have with each child, and with ourselves in parenting these children. The parts of my life as a mom that are far from perfect. Yes, I realize we want to see the perfect, the beautiful, the fantasized family moments. But, any mom will tell you that just isn't real life. Yet when we look at those images elsewhere we have brief thoughts that "oh they have it figured out". None of us do, it's only part of the picture. I feel blessed in my life. Blessed to have my family, my husband, and our children. I am grateful for them everyday. Yet, life with children isn't one-dimensional, and I don't want to present it as such.
So, there. If you've wondered 'why doesn't Dreena show photos of her kidlets?' - there's your answer. It's a very personal feeling; I am not judging or criticizing other moms blogging their children - just doesn't sit right for me.
If you are a mom and reading, I'd love to hear from you. Or, if you're not a mom and reading and have thoughts on this, would love to hear form you too.
With that I hit 'publish' (with some trepidation). Thanks for understanding, and for being part of my readership. xx's

Well said Dreena.
I admit I DO love the blogs that are kid-centric and share all those fun moments (good or bad)as well as incorporating family-friendly recipes and advice. And when my kids were younger I felt I could often relate.
BUT.... that said, I don't share a lot about my kids on my blog either. For many of the same reasons (only I'm not famous or an author or any of that, heh). But I AM a bit paranoid and I don't mind admitting it.
My kids are older now, over 18, and I sometimes feel like they're the ones telling ME what's safe and what's not out there in Internet land. But I still want to shield them, at least a little, from having their every move documented for unknown readers (stalkers, lurkers, strangers too, I have had my share)
I'll definitely share recipes that are a hit with them, recipes THEY like to make and family traditions. I'll even share pictures of them cooking or eating, (or graduating high school) but I started my blog to share recipes and vegan tips and tricks, mainly; and prefer to keep the focus there.

I think we all feel like we are screwing it up so don't feel alone on that. I just try to focus on doing my best. I definitely see what you wouldn't put your girls on your blog. I do put pictures of my son but we discussed it first as a family including him and decided it was okay for us right now but that can always change. I totally respect your choice though to not and love how you put it all in this post. Well said!
- Heather Nauta said...
well, I'm not a mom, but I still appreciate this post!! I think your feelings apply to anyone - you just happen to be a more visible person than most. I often think the same things when I see photos shared on facebook and other places. It used to be that the pics of yourself on the toilet were only visible in your parents' old photo album, and that was embarrassing enough! I sometimes think back on things I've shared on facebook and think... hmm... I probably shouldn't have posted that so publicly! There's definitely a line between sharing with people, and giving away too much of yourself or your family. I think you've done a great job of keeping that line in place! You're so open with your own personality and life :)
- Audrey said...
All of those are really good reasons, Dreena, and you explained it very well. I think it's great that you identified what works for you. Your approach makes a lot of sense to me.
- Vegan Dad said...
Nicely put, Dreena. That's exactly how I feel.
- Virtually Vegan Mama said...
can I just copy/paste this onto my blog because this is how I feel as well =) nicely written
- Joy said...
Thank you for this, Dreena. It's something I think about lots, since I believe featuring children so prominently can be exploitative.
I've always wanted to portray vegan pregnancy and child raising as healthy and uncomplicated, and so I've tried to display that. But I'm also (despite being a blogger) a very private person. I just made some decisions that reinforce that, and I feel really good about it.
Thank you for this perspective. I really appreciate your experience and wisdom!
- Babette said...
I love to see other people's children on their blog, but if I had kids, I know I would not show their picture! Maybe if we couldn't see them clearly, but even then, I'm not so sure. So I totally understand you.
You list some very good reasons and they are your reasons. No need to justify to anyone. It is funny that you comment about feelings of screwing up as a mom or not having everything figured out. I feel like that so often then I look at my kids and think I must be doing something right, I am just not sure how or what.
Pictures or not, I always imagine you having this perfect little TVesque household. I picture that you are super organized and always very energetic. Laundry done, kitchen clean, beds made and healthy, well balanced meals cooking on the stove.
Funny how other people's perceptions of us are not necessarily what our reality is. Thanks for this post. Makes me feel more normal than inadequate.
- Dreena said...
Thank you everyone for sharing your insights, your own experiences, and perceptions. All welcome and appreciated.
Jen, absolutely, feel free to share if you like - thank you. :)
Exactly!! Well said , Dreena!
- Jessica @Vegbooks said...
I take the same approach! I will mention my kiddo in book reviews -- because often it's her reaction I'm capturing -- but I do not share photographs of her on Vegbooks. It's my firm belief that it's not my decision to make, and that I should guard her privacy until she's old enough to make these decisions herself with an eye to the future. Youth is so short, it should be jealously guarded.
- Carole said...
Good blog. You might enjoy this little poem about mothers. http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2011/12/random-quotation-spot.html
- Mihl said...
I've only been a mother for about five months. Right from the start I decided I would not post a picture of my child on my blog. Right now she's not in the position to tell me if she wants me to post her pictures there. So I try to be on the safe side and wait until she is old enough to decide for herself. (Although I don't think I'll still be blogging at that point...).
- Meg said...
A wise choice. I always feel nervous for folks who blog with their children. I've seen the underbelly of the internet and how peoples' lives can be destroyed because of it. Thanks for looking out for your kids, and be sure to stay safe yourself.
THANK YOU!!! I really can't say that strongly enough. I often feel like I am failing as a parent or just not being the parent I want to be. Of course, it always seems like everyone else has their act completely together. Please don't think I am taking joy in the fact that you feel overwhelmed at times -- it's just good to know I am not a freak!!
Take care and hang in there!
- The Whirling Dirvish said...
Hey Dreena!! I totally understand why you don't show pics of the kidlets. As you said - you are the author and the public figure - not them. And honestly, I think it's your choice and your RIGHT as a mother to protect your children. I won't say that i'm not at all curious about your beautiful kiddos eating your yummy food and the nosy nancy in me would love to know what they look like - but at the same time, as a mother myself - I respect your choice and support it completely. :)
- VeganLinda said...
It is such a personal choice and we all have to do what feels right to us - just like all aspects of parenting. I have to say that my kids adore seeing your daughter on your cookbook and have for years. As vegan kids they like to see other vegan kids. It can feel isolating even in the best communities. This is part of the reason I do share pictures and stories of my kids. It was an easier choice for me as far as the crazies out there because I'm not well known and I homeschool my kids so they tend to rarely be away from me. As they have grown, they have complete say it what pictures I do or don't post. I completely understand your reasons and love your blog just as it is.
Total respect. Great post.
- Whole Foods Vegan Momma said...
OH Dreena, I can totally relate! I've really gone back and forth myself, and it is such a balance.
While I'm not nearly as well-known as you, I have continued to blog and have decided to make it more of a full-time thing and I've had to decide how much I'm going to share. Since I feel like part of my purpose in blogging is to show others how being vegan and making healthy choices is completely doable with kids & a family, I've made the decision to share because that is so integral to what I do and what I feel my message is (but share with a great deal of thought and discernment).
I still don't know exactly the balance, and your words resonate with so many of my own feelings.
Thanks for your honesty and thanks for sharing. Love ya for that (and simply cannot wait to get my hands on your cookbook). And don't worry, I'm sure you are an absolutely AMAZING mother!
P.S. Every mother has their moments. Motherhood is the land of guilt, there's no end of it!
I agree with you Dreena. Being a new mom myself, I do love to read stories about vegan cookbook authors/bloggers' kids because it makes them more relatable to me. But it makes me nervous for them too. And if I was a blogger/author I would try not to give up too much information about my kids, as much as I would like to.
Oh, and off the subject--you are absolutely my favorite cookbook author! I have all of your cookbooks (your new one is on the way to me as well) and I use Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan so much that I had to buy a second copy because the first one became so worn out! Thanks to your cookbooks, I would actually rather cook at home than go to my favorite vegan restaurant!
I can't wait to get Let Them Eat Vegan...!
Thank you so much,
- Christine said...
I completely agree with you. Your blog is mainly about your food. You give a slight glimpse into your family life, which is natural, but I understand you wanting to keep your kids out of the "limelight".
My blog is mainly about my family. And I share it mostly with my extended family who live out of state. They want to see pictures of my boys and know what we're doing daily.
We all have those struggles with feeling guilty about mistakes we think we make when parenting. We're human. I feel the same guilt and I know my family who has kids feel the same way too. No one is perfect, and that's okay!
I think you're on the right track. You do a fabulous job with what you do and I don't think you need to change a thing. :)
- Mattheworbit said...
Dreena, that's wonderful, and very sensible. Don't hesitate at all. I think you're making the best choice, and - you don't belong to anyone, despite being some level of "public figure" due to your wonderful cookbooks.
You shouldn't even have to explain your reasoning. But reasonable people will understand!
- Val said...
I absolutely understand your reasons, Dreena (I don't blog or post any pics of my kids on FB either) and if possible I like you even more after sharing this post with us! ;)
- Anna said...
I was talking to my 8 yo son about this the other week. We did some testing for a cookbook (yes, we, he loves to cook!) and were talking about how we wanted to be listed on the thanks page. We decided on My Name and Sons.
I don't use my son's names on my blog and I think there are 2 pictures of them out there, one of each. The first post was about my older son having Aspergers Syndrome, I wanted to make the point that by looking at him you wouldn't be able to tell he was autistic and was asking people not to judge if they see a parent having a hard time with a kid in public. The second picture was of my younger son a few days old. I'd spoken of being pregnant on my blog and newborns change every single day so I figured one picture would be ok.
My son understood, from lessons they've had at school in Internet Safety, that you don't tell people who you are on the internet and that I didn't want people to know his real name (he was happy that I'd not used his real name on the blog). He said it wasn't safe for people to know who he was and where he lived or what he looked like.
My failings as a mother go in emails to my mother friends or in phone conversations with my family (or round and round in my head as I berate myself for not doing things right!), they are not for public consumption and I can't stand blogs that present the happy wonderful lovely bright and shiny family life post after post, it's just not real and not helpful to anyone who does struggle (and I don't think there are many parents who don't at times).
Long ramble, not sure if it helped the discussion!
- Steph said...
I agree with you about kids in your blog. And also that it's everyone's own choice.
I was also considering starting a birth-related business, and immediately felt like using pictures of my kids on the website would be like using them for marketing and it gave me such an ugly feeling. I just couldn't do it. It's not what my kids are for, and I didn't want it to be a part of our relationship.
This blog isn't about your kids, husband, nephews, aunts (you get the picture)so that is the correct choice.
And there are always risks on showing your kids online along with being a famous cookbook author.
The world doesn't need to know who they are until THEY decide to become famous themselves... if they ever do...
- Dreena said...
I so value hearing your thoughts on this, and what your own experiences are. We don't all have blogs for the same reasons too, so there are definitely different considerations for me compared to other bloggers. Really respect your views and the discussion. thank you.
- The Full Plate Blog said...
I understand your reasoning 100%. You do what works for you, this is your space. The way I have negotiated this is to include photos of my children in action, when something pertains to them (ie: a cooking activity) and I want my friends who are reading to have a visual. But, they are only photographed neck down or from the back. So, you get the gist of interaction with them.
- April Groves said...
I am the mother of four beautiful daughters - and I blog the hell out of them because you just can't make that kind of crazy up :)
But you, with your beautiful soul, did a fantastic job of reaching your own decision with your own children while graciously placing zero judgement on the choices of any other mommy out there. It is the exact thing that we as mommy kindred must strive for - support on this whacked out journey and love in the midst of differing tactics.
Your children are blessed indeed to have you. So are we.
- Gena said...
I love this post, Dreena. I don't have children, but if I did, I have to imagine I'd feel similarly. If for no other reason than they're too young to know whether or not being made public on a blog is something they'll *want* and be happy about in 1, 2, 10 years. It would be too bad if a child grew up and realized that she had had her childhood documented publicly, and she didn't like it.
Anyway, the thing I actually love most here is your constant ability to be so honest about the tough stuff, the down days, the little moments of chaos. I think we share similar candor there, and I have to hope it makes our readers feel closer to us. <3 xoxo
- Lindsay said...
For me personally, I feel like anyone could see my kids when I am out and about in public. I don't have control over that. And I say this as someone who has experienced both a peeping tom and even more serious sexual abuse. I feel that showing (appropriate) photos of my children is ok. Short of living in a cave, I can't prevent people from seeing my kids. That's just my thoughts on it, personally. Not saying anyone has to agree.
I'm also not a published author, and my tiny little blogs don't get a lot of hits, so I'm sure that's a factor, too.
- Becky said...
This is perhaps my favorite post on your entire blog. It just made me feel so much better to read that you, someone that I admire and respect, sometimes feel like you are messing things up as a mom. I thought I was the only one! Raising kids is such a gargantuan responsibility...trying to teach them to be kind, decent, moral human beings. And when they don't portray the above qualities...man, is it frustrating, and so easy for a mom to blame herself!
I very much respect your decision to keep your children out of the limelight. I think some day they may just thank you for that!
- Carrie said...
I totally understand what you are saying! While I love seeing bloggers sweet little ones and following along who family posts because I can relate. Children are such a joy! That said, since I've become a mother I am much more paranoid than I have ever been. I can't help but be a little weary of strangers.. Even ones that look nice. I know a blogger who had to shut down her blog bc of getting stalked. So scary and such a shame! :( It's a personal decision and good for you for doing what you feel is best in your situation. :)

Delmarva Power urges customers to stay safe and offers some tips for the winter storm that is expected to reach the region Tuesday evening.
Delmarva Power urges customers to stay safe and offers some tips for the winter storm that is expected to reach the region Tuesday evening.
The National Weather Service is predicting that the Delmarva Peninsula will experience rain, high winds and snow into Thursday. Storms can bring down tree limbs onto power lines, causing power outages.
Delmarva offers the following preparation and safety tips:
Preparation Tips
•Have adequate prescription medicines or infant supplies on hand.
• If you or someone you know uses life-support equipment that requires electricity to operate, identify a location with emergency power capabilities and make plans to go there during a prolonged outage.
• Assemble an emergency storm kit. Include a battery-powered radio or television, flashlight, a first-aid kit, battery-powered or windup clock, extra batteries, special needs items, an insulated cooler and a list of important and emergency phone numbers.
• Keep at least a three-day supply of non-perishable foods and bottled water and have a hand- operated can opener available.
• Have a telephone with a cord or cell phone to use as a backup. Cordless telephones require electricity to operate, and won't work if there is an outage.
• Protect your electronic equipment. Unplug sensitive electronics or plug computers and other
sensitive equipment into surge suppressors, and consider a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for temporary battery backup power.
• Turn off power to flood-prone basement appliances, if it is safe to do so. However, if you have an electrically operated sump pump, you should not turn off your power.
• Fill your gas tank so you can run your automobile to charge mobile devices. In order to operate the vehicle safely, be sure to open garage doors, using manual door controls if your power goes out.
Safety Tips
• Tune in to local news broadcasts for the latest weather and emergency information.
• Follow the advice of your local emergency management officials.
• If you need to use a portable generator, follow the manufacturer's instructions and use only when necessary. Don't overload it and turn it off at night while you sleep and when you are away from home.
• Take cover if necessary.
• Customers are asked to call Delmarva Power to report a power outage, a gas emergency and/or if they see a downed or damaged power line. Stay away from downed wires. Assume any downed wire is energized. The numbers to call are:
For more information, call (800) 898-8042 for New Castle County: (800) 898-8045 for Kent and Sussex counties or visit delmarva.com.
To report a Delmarva Power natural gas emergency in New Castle County, call (302) 454-0317.

Judge terminates Wolfgang bankruptcy sales deal
A bankruptcy court judge today vacated a previous order approving the sale of assets of York County-based Wolfgang Candy Co. Inc. and ruled to terminate the existing asset purchase and lease agreements.
The motion was uncontested and its approval puts the North York-based confectioner back on the market. But it does not preclude the buyer in that deal from making another bid after it failed to close on the first arrangement within the prescribed timeframe.
Wolfgang filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March, and a judge in August approved a plan for a sale of company assets and a lease agreement for Wolfgang real property.
Earlier this week, Wolfgang debt holder M&T Bank filed a motion to vacate the court order approving the sale of Wolfgang assets to Divine Serendipity LLC and to terminate the associated asset purchase agreement, according to the filing.
The asset purchase agreement had required M&T be paid $885,000 on or before Aug. 29 and a lease agreement commencing Sept. 1 requires real estate lease payments of $10,000 per month, the filing stated, but the deal has not closed.
Wolfgang has heard from other interested potential bidders, said Larry Young, the attorney representing Wolfgang in bankruptcy proceedings. The judge vacating the previous agreement frees up Wolfgang to consider other possible deals, he said.
Divine Serendipity President and CEO William "Wayne" Sellers said he continues to work to line up the financing he needs within 10 days and plans to make another offer accordingly.

The Arkansas Activities Association released its new athletic classification numbers this morning and to no surprise more changes are on the horizon for the 2014-16 seasons.
The Arkansas Activities Association released its new athletic classification numbers on Wednesday and to no surprise more changes are on the horizon for the 2014-16 seasons. The biggest changes could take place in the 2-4A Conference as longtime member Marianna-Lee will drop down to 3A, opening a spot for a new school. A good fit would be Riverview in Searcy. The Raiders, which are moving up, would make a good fit both geographically and athletically. They traditionally have good boys and girls basketball teams and their junior high football team was salty last year, finishing runner-up in the formidable 2-3A. Replacing Marianna would boost the conference while cutting down on travel time for Heber Springs' fans. However, there is a wild card in place with Helena-West Helena Central dropping from 5A to 4A. Considering Helena's close proximity to Marianna, the Cougars could very well replace the Trojans. And for those who complain about traveling to Marianna, the metal detectors await you in Helena, where crime is rampant, unfortunately like much of Arkansas' eastern delta region. On the other hand, Harrisburg is moving up from 3A to 4A and would make a perfect fit for the 3-4A Conference in northeast Arkansas. Considering the 3-4A is losing Valley View to 5A, the Hornets will certainly be placed in the 3-4A. Depending on what happens with Helena, Cave City could be pushed back to the 2-4A, which could vault Pine Bluff Dollarway out of the 2-4A and back to the 8-4A. In a perfect world the new 2-4A would consist of charter members Heber Springs, Stuttgart, Lonoke and Southside Batesville along with longtime members Clinton and Newport, which has been moved nearly every cycle. The Greyhounds should be kept in place for once, but they could be looking at a move back to the 3-4A. The 2-4A newcomers would be Cave City and Riverview with Helena-West Helena Central joining either the 3-4A or 8-4A, and Dollarway moving back to the 8-4A as previously mentioned. Maumelle, which currently competes in the 4-4A following a cycle in the 7-4A, would also be a decent fit in Heber's newly aligned conference. E-Stem, a private charter school located in downtown Little Rock moving up to 4A, faces several possibilities. E-Stem doesn't have football yet so I would recommend placing them in the 7-4A in basketball only, similar to Little Rock Lutheran in the 2-4A several years ago. However, Fountain Lake is moving up to 4A and the Cobras make a perfect fit in all sports for the 7-4A, which already boasts the best football conference. Huntsville moved up to 5A last year and will move back down to 4A next cycle. They would be a natural fit in the 1-4A, which is losing Farmington to 5A. The other schools in the The Sun-Times coverage area will see some minimal changes as well with 3A Rose Bud losing rival Riverview, opening a spot for a new member. Cedar Ridge is moving up from 2A and could be the answer. Pangburn barely stayed in 2A, recording the largest enrollment of 187 students. The Tigers will lose Cedar Ridge, hopefully opening up a spot for fellow lake area 2A school Quitman � at least in all but football. The two schools roughly 40 minutes apart do not currently play in the same region, much less district. West Side and Concord will likely see minimal if any changes due to reclassification.

Advanced DNA sequencing techniques (Matthias Meyer)
The main focus of our group is the development of molecular biology methods that aid evolutionary research on the most basal level, i.e. that of data generation. One central effort of the group is directed towards increasing the amount and quality of DNA sequences retrieved from ancient biological samples. Such samples, in particular those that are relevant to studying human evolution, often contain just trace amounts of DNA hiding in an excess of microbial and modern human contamination. We hope that technical advances, spurred by a deeper understanding of ancient DNA degradation patterns, will eventually make more samples accessible to genetic studies and help answer some of the most interesting questions about human evolutionary history. We are also seeking to facilitate sequence data generation for evolutionary and biomedical studies that require large numbers of samples or use difficult material, including for example single cells or biopsy samples.

MFA grant awarded to Boonville Harvest House
Columbia, MO: January 21, 2013 — The MFA Oil Foundation has awarded a grant to the HARVEST HOUSE, INC. to be applied toward the cost of installing a new HVAC system in the facility.
The MFA Oil Foundation, which was established in 1998, provides support to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve communities where MFA Oil has a significant concentration of members and employees.
MFA Oil President Jerry Taylor described the MFA Oil Foundation as "a program that allows our company to give support back to the small towns and rural communities that are the foundation of our business." He said focus for selecting grant recipients is on three areas: programs designed to build knowledge and leadership skills of rural youth; agricultural and cooperative education programs; and organizations active in addressing and solving community problems and improving the quality of life.
MFA Oil Company is a farmer-owned cooperative with more than 40,000 members. The company supplies fuels, lubricants, and propane to customers in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Iowa. Through a subsidiary, MFA Oil operates Break Time convenience stores in Missouri and Arkansas and Jiffy Lube and Big O Tire franchises in central Missouri.
Harvest House opened in 1990 with the purpose of providing the basic needs of the homeless with food, shelter, clothing and counseling. Each client is provided a bedroom and access to a communal restroom, kitchen and living room. Laundry facilities are also available to clients. They emphasize self-help, employment, encouragement, counseling and budgeting to facilitate economic independence. Services are free and open to men, women and families without regard to handicap, color, age, gender, race, religion, sexual preference or national origin.

Well, that's it from A Day In The Dirt 15. The track at Glen Helen definitely tested everyone's riding abilities, but we think it's safe to say that almost everyone had another great time at the prestigious event. With that said, we can't wait to see you guys next year!
The Coup De Grace is hands down the gnarliest race of the of the weekend. Not only is it 90-minutes long and without a teammate, but it's the last race of the weekend. Rest assured though, that it's not "the best for last" type of event, because it's a true testament of physical and mental strength. Many riders courageously took to the track, however, it was Australian native Toby Price who took the top honors aboard his KTM.

Sidewords - unique take on the word game, from Milkbag Games
The fine folks at Milkbag games have released Sidewords. A fun little diversion of a word game that is the devil child of crosswords and scrabble. For each level in the game the grid must be completed to win the level — this means that each letter at the top and side must be used. And not just the top or side, but each word must be made up of letters from the top and side to create a grid. It's a pain, but in the right kind of way. Even the simplest of the levels can be a head scratcher until you get used to the game. Well worth the $3 as a diversion while we wait for Milkbag to finally release Snow Siege.

Mini DAYZ - Survival Game
Mini Dayz - out now and as brutal as the original
Mini Dayz has launched and it's a pixelated 2.5D open world that's as brutal as the desktop version. In this game, the player is dumped on shore with nothing. They must scavenge around for food, water, and weapons while avoiding attack. It's the kind of game where the goal is to stay alive as long as possible. But that will never be very long. It's oddly free and seems to only have an ad on the main screen — for now.

The House of da Vinci
[Sponsor] The House of Da Vinci on mobile lets you solve puzzles based on Da Vinci's own designs
We'd like to thank our sponsor for this week, The House of Da Vinci by Blue Brain Games. There's a reason Leonardo Da Vinci is the only renaissance figure who routinely shows up in video games you know. With his remarkable inventiveness and genius for creative problem-solving, Da Vinci was a gamer through and through. He was just born 500 hundred years too soon. Thankfully, there are studios like Blue Brain Games to bring him to life in videogame form. The House of Da Vinci, which comes to us courtesy of a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, is a puzzler that seeks to channel the artistry and innovation of its title character.
You play as one of Da Vinci's more promising apprentices, and you have the challenging task of trying to work out where the hell he's gone. Was he assassinated by the church? Who knows. Has he quietly gone into a retirement? Perhaps. Did he accidentally invent a shrink ray and shrink himself down to the size of an dustmite? Probably not. Da Vinci's workshop looks beautiful, thanks to some impressive 3D graphics, and the in-game environment is crammed with all the elaborate machines and crazy inventions you'd expect to find in the workplace of a renaissance genius.

Poly Bridge
Poly Bridge, the best bridge builder is out, but incomplete on mobile (so far)
Poly Bridge is out now on iOS, and it's good to have it! It's a great game and many seem to agree that it's the best bridge builder game available. But the iOS versions, so far, is missing the sandbox mode. I would hope that it's coming soon in an update. If you are all interested in physics puzzlers, grab this one. (Note: the video is for the PC version, I have yet to see a trailer for the mobile version, the developer Dry Cactus isn't that great at marketing…)

Amped up more of the what I loved in the prequel Framed 2
Framed 2 is numbered as a sequel, yet it's noted as a prequel. Controversy! Framed 2 is really just more of what we loved in the original — something we've been getting a lot of lately. Framed 2 continues to rearrange the comic tiles to change the story and progress super unique gameplay. Overall it's safe, good, and amped up a bit from Framed. Everything seems smoother, more active, more real. Very well done puzzle game.

Flipping Legend
Flipping Legend is a flipping great mobile game.
Flipping Legend is out now and it's a simple and hard puzzle game from Hiding Spot Games and Noodlecake Studios. In this game the player can go left or right diagonally in a three wide checkerboard. Avoid spikes and collect coins along the way. There are a couple special moves to get out of a jam, but in general it's a difficult game to get very far unless looking way ahead to plan out the moves. My only gripe with this game is that it's not played in portrait mode as a quick twitch game like this would be perfect for a quick game while waiting in line.
