Magic: The Gathering -- confession

Feb 26, 2011 8:05PM PST

I have a confession. I really enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering. It's strategy and luck, with infinite combinations and ways to play. The hard part is finding people to play with.

I'm not a hardcore player by any means. It's something I picked up during high school and played casually with friends. Once those friends dissipated during college, I stopped playing. Between then and now, I've only played a handful of times with random people I've met that also used to play, but I don't keep up with new sets and my decks are definitely not tournament legal by today's standards. This doesn't change the fact that I love playing, it just seems really difficult to find people to play with.

I have one core deck that I've kept throughout the years and changed mildly whenever I found a useful card (a green elf trample deck) and a couple of decks I've built for fun just to play with.

Any other magic players out there? Any tips on finding other magic players? Anybody from TEXAS??

    Playing magic is another good hobby like gaming. So to find other magic players, find out where they get their cards from. That's a good place to start.

    • hikariliang
    • Good tip

      Posted: Feb 26, 2011 12:00AM PST by  hikariliang

      This is probably the most reasonable thing to do, but I do admit -- I'm a little intimidated. Since I am a super casual player, I'm pretty sure I'll suck really bad against the people who play regularly at stores and such.. haha. I guess I'll just have to get over that if I want to play.

    ...i just recently learned/started playing Magic via the Downloadable game on PSN. I couldn't put it down for two weeks.   I hope Wizards of the coast are onboard with a sequel, The game sold over 500,000 downloads on XBL alone.

    Magic...My second CCG after learning to play my first ccg....The Eye of Judgment.Smile

    • hikariliang
    • Nice!

      Posted: Feb 26, 2011 12:00AM PST by  hikariliang

      I've heard about the PSN version but haven't looked into it, do you have to buy virtual cards?

      MTG is the only CCG I've really gotten into. Dabbled briefly with Yu-Gi-Oh (had one deck) but preferred to play it on game boy advance.

    • ghost_7
    • Not individual virtual cards...

      Posted: Feb 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by  ghost_7

      ...BUT You can also buy the expasions for more challenges or even buy the unlocking of new decks.... which i don't recomend 'cause it sucks the fun out of the game.(keep playing, you'll earn them).

        Everytime you win you unlock a new card to improve your deck and chances against the far more powerful planeswalkers.  Pick it up! if you already were a fan You'll be hooked.  I hope they release another one.Smile

    • Thanks!

      Posted: Feb 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by  hikariliang

      I'll look into it :) Probably easier to play through that than finding people in real life haha.

    I actually live in Austin, Tx and I have casually played on and off for the past few years. I know a couple places that some of my friends wander on down to when they get the urge to sling some cards. The one with the best community (from what I've heard, haven't stopped by myself) is a place called Pat's games. http://www.patsgames.com/

    Anyways good to hear there are still people out there that play, the most fun I've ever had spending silly amounds of money on little pieces of cardboard.

    • hikariliang
    • Cool!

      Posted: Feb 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by  hikariliang

      I've actually been to Pat's a couple of times a couple of years ago when I had a few friends who also wanted to get back into playing. It's just super awkward to show up by yourself and sit down -- at least I don't have the balls to do it haha.

    I used to play when I was younger though time and money to buy cards stopped that hobby. I do  play the xbox 360 version online; good way to keep up and play online without the cards.

  • ThatCoreyIsASpy!

    I have some what understanding of what Magic the Gathering but not all of the way. How do you play it?

    • hikariliang
    • Well..

      Posted: Feb 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by  hikariliang

      At the very basic level of it, you have land which you activate to summon creatures or use abilities... and you kill your opponent. Everyone starts off with 20 life points.

      It's really a lot to explain, but actually quite simple if you just start playing. Very easy to pick up.

    from Texas aaaand I used to burn loads on Magic cards. Still have em all as a matter of fact. Have the complete set of Revised even. Dual lands are so very handy in a sliver deck. I stopped playing roughly 5 yeas ago after most of my MTG buddies left or just stopped playing. I never had the heart to sell my cards like they did. I'd still love to play but like you say, it's hard to find people to play with. I'm actually tempted to get the PSN version so i can play against a computer. No relying on other people to be around to play with. Laughing

I have never experienced a fighting engine so fluid & with this much special attacks. Makes Ninja Gaiden look like playing Pac-Man in comparisan! And with platforming that surpasses that of the original, how can anyone possibly give this game anytthing besides a perfect rating! So what if their are a few annoying bosses. Each one ends in an incredibly short period of time.

It’s Eye Time for Him

Fashion Editor: GLORIA NICOLA
Editorial Assistant: LAUREN SIEGAL

Hint for Him The male consumer wrote the book on
forever returning to products that work well. Loyalty to a staple style and dependable brand name might cloud an immediate double purchase but it will go a long way toward guaranteeing a return customer.

BROOKS BROTHERS 632 from Luxottica Group

Hint for Him Eyewear designers can be quite clever when it comes to delivering subtle style hints that bridge to a brand’s key design elements. This restrained and understated approach works well with most male patients.

BURBERRY 8383 from Sàfilo USA

Hint for Him  Fashion is fleeting but style is solid. On that wavelength always consider the staples of good taste as dictated by classic dress shoes, suits, ties and watches.

KENNETH COLE Stone Temple from ClearVision Optical

Hint for Him Insider info on a man’s leisure leanings could be a key to
connecting a customer to his ideal frame. Brand association helps here but tip-offs might be personal clothing preferences, sport interests and even favorite vacation locals.

TOMMY BAHAMA 8 from Altair Eyewear

Hint for Him Quite likely a man’s first question when he dresses EVERY morning: “Where’s my wallet?” Something well worth remembering in trying to convince that same man about the importance of quality glasses being an integrated part of his daily wardrobe ritual.

COACH Harrison from Marchon Eyewear

Hint for Him Men love tech details and eyewear driven by high-tech materials, clever hinge designs and crafty comfort features always fill that bill.

NEW BALANCE 351 from Eyewear Designs

Hint for Him Faced with a tough man unwilling to listen to brand-speak appealing to BOTH genders? Make sure you have a brand at hand that camps completely in the male zone.

COLEMAN 8103 from New York Eye/A Hart Specialties Company

Hint for Him It’s a simple fact: Guys love sneakers. And most of those Baby-Boomer guys grew up in Chuck Taylor All-Stars. This is one classic brand-association that cannot miss its shot. Jump at it.

This is a story about going to Baja and bypassing Cabo San Lucas completely.  It all started with a trip to Cabo and a 3 night stay at the super luxurious Las Ventanas .  Las Ventanas was for 3 nights so we decided to combine it with something else in the Baja.  Shortly after we booked our trip, the hurricane blew in devastating the area and destroying Las Ventanas.  So, we changed our reservations to mid-April which is when we were told the hotel would reopen.   April turned into a reopening in July but July is not a good time to go to Baja and since we’d already changed our flights once we decided to look for something to combine with the other destination that we’d booked…Rancho Pescadero in Pescadero, a few miles south of Todos Santos.

After doing some research on I-Escape, which I highly recommend, we came upon a small luxury eco-inn called Villa del Faro, on the Sea of Cortez, the East Cape.  It sounded great.  One hour on a dirt road, watch out for cows and goats, turn left at the basketball court.  Could been fun.  But the piece de resistence at Villa del Faro was something called “The Stone Cottage”.  A thatched roof cottage on the beach that had solar powered electricity, an outdoor shower and bano, fire pit and grill for cooking.  Sounded good and very adventurous, so we booked it.

Yah Mon!

Posted by on Mar 1, 2015 in Travel, Wanderlust | 0 comments

Yah Mon!

Love it or hate it.

That’s Jamaica.  You’re either all in or all out.  There’s no middle ground.

Case in point.  We no sooner hopped into our rental car and headed out of the airport on our way to Negril, than we got a little lost.  Signage is practically non-existent even though everyone says “no problem mon”.  So, we’re waiting at a light deciding which way to turn and a guy on a bicycle comes up to us and says “hey mon, I just saw you at the airport-are you lost?  Where are you going?  Follow me.” So he pedaled ahead of us ON A BIKE  and directed us through downtown Mo Bay.  And, at another light a guy walks past our car and says “hey- I just saw you at the airport-where are you going?”  Guy #1 stopped to buy a paper and then said “let me hop in and I’ll get you on the highway” to which we politely said “no thanks we’ll find our way”.  And we did.  That’s Jamaica.  Some people would be completely intimidated.  For us, it was just a little scam which is played because of course they know we’re tourists, in a rental car, trying to find our way! And hey, everyone has to make a living!

So began our trip to Jamaica.  We couldn’t wait to get out of Snowmaggedon also known as Boston.  We’ve been all over the island. Yea mon,  No Problem is the mantra.  That, and Respect.  Turn off your clock.  Forget about time.  If you don’t like waiting,  if you have no patience, don’t go to Jamaica. But,  If you love Jerk chicken and pork, white sand beaches, a cool vibe, a cold Red Stripe or a Ting, Bob Marley, Rasta culture, Blue Mountain Coffee, beautiful people, then Jamaica is for you!

Our destination this time was Negril.  We rented a car which we now look at as not probably a great idea.  Roy was a little bit challenged with right hand drive.  Pot holes that could swallow a car- well maybe not swallow a car but definitely blow a tire, people walking on the road, no speed limit – I was screaming about potholes and was totally white knuckled for the entire trip.  It was almost a divorce. But a great trip.

Arriving in Negril you have a choice – the beach or the cliffs.  We’re cliff people.  Past the all inclusives, the funky beach hotels on 7 mile beach, going around the roundabout in a direction you think is wrong which actually was the first time and then we had to go around again but that road takes you up to the West End and the cliffs and The Rock House.

We’ve been there 3 times.  Starting back when the “villas”  or bungalow’s were $160/night.  Now we’re talking 3 times that.  But, worth every penny.  Once upon a time it was a well kept secret, now not so much.  They’ve added villas, a pool, the spa, and have two great restaurants.  The hotel restaurant overlooks the water and its a great way to see the sunset in a civilized manner.  By that I mean you don’t have to go to Ricks.  The other restaurant is The Pushcart.  Very casual with music most nights, the food is outstanding.  We stayed in three different villas.  #12 because we arrived a day early due to a snow storm in Boston (surprise, surprise!); then we moved to #16 which I love.  Hidden by vegetation which you look out on from your outdoor shower, a beautiful ocean view in front of you, individual sunbathing platforms – simple and perfect.  There’s nothing better than listening to the ocean crashing on the rocks which it did because of a storm that came through one night.  Our last night we stayed in a premium villa – #1.  New, larger but close to the road and not as private.  Still it was all good.

And this is where we parked ourselves for the week.  Snow be damned.  We couldn’t care less!  Great food, drink, music, lots of sun and Scrabble, a great book and oh, a little ganja for someone.  What else do you need in life?   We totally vegged out.  Something we don’t ordinarily do.

But that’s not to say we didn’t venture out; we did.  We had a check list:

Spend a day on 7 mile beach – check: One day, down to the famous 7 mile beach for the day with it’s parade of people and vendors on the beach.  A little music which I had to join, walking down the beach to Niah’s for a great handmade pattie for lunch with a Ting and a Red Stripe.  An awesome day.

The best pattie in Negril-check: A pattie from Niah’s on the beach.  Totally hand made including the pastry.  How good does that look?

Supposedly the best jerk in Negril-check: everyone said it’s Ossie’s so that’s where we went for lunch one day.  Simple and good but not great.

One night we went to 3 Dives, a funky outdoor restaurant down the road from the hotel.  As I said if you have a problem waiting for your food, forget Jamaica.  At 3 Dives, it was probably an hour before our food arrived.  And don’t ask me how they found us.  There seems to be no system but apparently there is because our food miraculously arrived! And, there was supposed to be music that night but there wasn’t.  No problem, mon!

And, Roy needed to learn how to make Jamaican curry.  So one day, chef Warren from The Rock House restaurant brought Roy into the kitchen and taught him how to make shrimp curry which was then served to us in a papaya for lunch.  Yea Mon!!

One evening we were picked up late in the afternoon and driven to Zimbali, a retreat off the beaten path.  Zimbali is the creation of Mark Swainback who is actually from Vermont.  He was a commodities trader, got fed up and left for Jamaica where he had a vision and started a new life.  Zimbali has 7 rooms, it’s a working farm and every evening he entertains abuot 20 people for dinner.  Two chefs entertain and cook, wine is poured, there is drumming and it’s a generally great evening.  Mark’s created something special, his wife runs the show and he has a precocious little girl named “Sol”.  There’s no way you could find Zimbali by yourself, in the daylight or in the dark.  Going back to civilization after dinner, thank god for the driver because we would have been lost in sugar cane fields forever!

So basically, that was our trip.  Laid back.  Until we heard that another storm was heading toward Boston.  Well, that threw me right back into the real world.  Everyone from Boston worrying about flights, storms, whether we would get home and me worried about Romeo and if he would have to stay at camp for another night.  But, the plane took off.  And right outside Boston the pilot came on over the loudspeaker and told us we’d be landing on “auto pilot” so please turn off all your electronics.  And “Don’t Worry” , we’re right there and the auto pilot is better than we are!  Okay then!  That’s a good way of taking that laid back vibe away!

But we landed – all is well.  Romeo is home and we’re looking forward to our next vacation – Cabo!

Here are a few more pictures from Jamaica:

We took an early morning walk one day and came upon this guy.  I asked him if I could take his picture and he asked if I would take the picutre with his “product”.  I said sure.  So he fixed his hair, arranged his product and here’s the result.  One of my favorite pictures of all times.

This is Barbara.  She owns one of the little shops across from the hotel. She’s been there for over 20 years.  I love her!!

View from The Rock House.  What can I say!

What draws us to Turkey.  This latest trip is our third time.  Could it be the people?  The food?  The amazing coastline with turquoise blue waters that run from the Aegean down to the Mediterranean.  It’s the cradle of civilization.  Archeological sites galore if that’s what you like.  Us, we like the beach clubs, the food, the shopping, the walking, meeting the people, taking in all the local action.  We ddidn’t see one archeological site even though we weren’t too far from one big one.

The Long and Winding Road(s)

The Long and Winding Road(s)

…..Lots of them on our road trip to Mendocino.

When I think of Mendocino I think of Dough Sahm and Sir Douglas Quintet and the song they made popular in the late 60′s…”Mendocino, Mendocino, where life’s such a groove you’ll blow your mind in the morning”.  (Really, those are the lyrics-well it was the 60′s!).  It’s just a little off the grid and still has that 60′s hippy vibe but also has some incredible retaurants and inns along the coast.  It’s three and a half hours north of San Francisco which makes it a destination, not a day trip.  It’s probably what Napa was 20 years ago.  The historic or “hysteric” council depending on who you talk to, will not allow any development to deter from the town’s original look.  No box stores, no chain stores, no Starbucks.  For that you have to drive to the next town.  Mendocino sits on the edge of the Pacific Coast and wherever you go whether it’s on the Big River, Route 128 or any of the other number of roads winding through the mountains, the natural beauty is everywhere.

So this sounded like somewhere we’d like to visit and we headed west for the long 4th of July weekend.

Some new restaurants (for us)…

Some new restaurants (for us)…

We’ve been eating!  I haven’t been posting but I’ve been eating.  And, here are some great new finds:

Empire – at the Seaport.  Wow!  I can’t say enough.  I’m still dreaming about the Lobster Cupcakes.  They were outstanding.  The hot and sour soup served in a big bowl, some Singapore noodles.  All awesome.  Great looking restaurant.  Open kitchen with a sushi bar. Great bar.  Lounge area where you can reserve seating.  It has it all.  In fact, we had to go back and weren’t disappointed the second time around.

Tryst – in Arlington.  A wonderful little restaurant.  We stopped there for dinner before a show at the Regent Theatre, spent almost 2 hours with some friends.  At the table – a great bolognese, a perfect hamburger, some delicious epanadads and crispy calamri.  A definite return to Tryst.  They also own Cook in Newton.  Tryst is small and it has a nice bar if you that’s your preference.

Row 34 – located in a warehouse space in Fort Point Channel brought to you by the people who own Island Creek Oyster Bar.  So you know it’s probably going to be pretty good.  And it is.  Industrial looking, we sat at the bar (of course) and had a terrific bowl of clam chowder, some perfectly prepared fried clams and butterscotch pudding.

These are all restaurants worth revisiting.

Wait, T\there’s more on the way.

So, see you at the bar……

A Hot Tip – not really!

A Hot Tip – not really!

The Kentucky Derby – I got a hot tip.  A sure winner.  I never bet and rarely watch the Kentucky Derby but it sounded like fun thing to do – go to Suffolk Downs, do some people watching and bet on a few horses.  So I did a quick study on the field, Roy did some studying on how to bet and with money in hand we went to Suffolk Downs with L and M and J and C who relied on us and our knowledge (they’re very trusting).  We had a system.  Roy would bet on the ones that weren’t favorites and I bet on three favorites including my sure thing.  I had to bet on Wicked Strong because he had a Boston connection and a portion of the earnings are going to the One Fund; Intense Holiday, my sure thing; and, Riding on Curlin, another Boston connection.  Well, they say that the favorite hardly ever wins but he won yesterday.  Six of us betting and six of us lost!  Oh well!

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.

I've been reading the same kind of articles claiming that skim milk makes us fat, and I'm totally intrigued by it. I've been a skim milk drinker forever, but I use real cream in my coffee. I just don't have the courage to drink whole milk because of the difference in calories and fat. I've tried, but then I cave and buy skim again. I'm so afraid I'll gain weight. But I think I'm going to at least try drinking 2% milk instead of skim and see what happens with my weight. I tried the fat free half and half, but I just can't get over all the additives in it. I read the book called "The Fat Fallacy" by Will Clower and it makes a lot of sense. He says we should eat real cheese, use real cream and drink whole milk.....but in smaller portions. (That's the bummer part of the book.)
I wish there was some real hard evidence on this subject because the real thing does taste much better!

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - May 22, 1882

Diary Entry:

Monday, May 22, 1882 Dismantled my room today preparatory to having it cleaned tomorrow. Carried the pictures out and all the small articles which I wiped off carefully. There seems no end of the things in this room. I got rid of some things which were of no value but still which had some associations connected with them. It costs me a pang to destroy anything I ever had with which dear Gertrude is even remotely connected but I find it is better gradually to put some of these things out of my sight. The room looks bald and bare tonight and not at all like our room. I dont see how people live in bare rooms and yet so many things are a great care. It has rained at intervals but has been warm, so warm that I put on my summer under clothes. I have had to look over many of dear Gertrudes personal belongings, her shawls and her bonnets. I found the Buffalo moths had got into some of the things. I feel less melancholy than I feared I would and as I almost invariably do on coming home in the spring. It is because I am busy and have a Western trip to look forward to. It is necessary to have some engrossing object in life. I am in hopes we can make a sale to Sam CoyKendall and if we can it will be a great relief to me and will give me a feeling of independence to which I have long been a stranger. The Powell made her last regular trip for the season and came in tonight at 8.30.

Prizes & Awards

Anthropology in Media Award (AIME)

The Anthropology in Media Award (AIME) was established in 1987 to recognize the successful communication of anthropology to the general public through the media. There are no eligibility restrictions, and the award is given annually. The awardee is recommended by the Awards Committee and chosen by the AAA Executive Board at its spring meeting.

The awardee is given a certificate at the annual meeting.

Call for AIME Nominations

AAA is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the Anthropology in Media Award (AIME). Established in 1987, the AIME recognizes successful communication of anthropology to the general public through the media. It seeks to honor those who have raised public awareness of anthropology and have had a broad and sustained public impact at local, national, and international levels. The AIME Award is designed to increase awareness of the significant contributions anthropologists have made and will make to society and recognize those who have successfully done so. By allowing the general public access to the study and profession of anthropology we facilitate contribution to and understanding of the field of anthropology itself. Please take this opportunity to offer a recommendation of someone whom you feel is deserving of this award.

Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of AAA Award Nomination Materials

Each nomination packet should include a letter of recommendation in support of the nominee. The letter should provide a summary of the nominee's accomplishments, and it should demonstrate (not merely assert) the nominee's qualifications. The packet should include supporting materials, which should not be expected to stand on their own. In other words, these materials should support the case being made in the nomination letter, demonstrating its assertions. The nomination packet should not exceed 25 pages. Please note that nominees are considered for three years. Those not chosen in the first year will be considered for two more years. If desired, nomination packets can be updated by March 1 each year, or nominations can be withdrawn from consideration.

The nominee's accomplishments should be contextualized and put into perspective. Depending upon the award in question, one may want to address the following types of questions:

  • Where does the nominee's work fit within the discipline? What is its significance?
  • What is the extent of the nominee's work and its impact on the field? On students? On the general public? On other disciplines?
  • How does the particular book or work upon which the nominee's recommendation is based demonstrate excellence: conceptually, in terms of impact, creativity, and influenced

Electronic submissions to kano@aaanet.org are encouraged or submit 6 copies of the materials to: AAA Awards Committee, AAA, 2300 Clarendon Blvd, Suite 1301, Arlington,VA 22201; 703/528-1902 ext 1161; fax: 703/528-3546.

Meeting Call for Papers Announcement
Future of the Mediterranean - Mediterranean Futures
Sponsor: Center for Mediterranean Studies
Contact Information
Marcus Nolden
Call for Papers: "Future of the Mediterranean - Mediterranean Futures" (Bochum / Germany) International Conference 30.09. - 02.10.2013, Bochum, Germany The future is terra incognita which can provide the surface onto which we project our dreams and yearnings or our nightmares. Today the Mediterranean region is commonly associated with conflict and crisis: the Middle East conflict has continued to smoulder for decades, the economic crisis has shaken countries on the northern and southern shores to their foundations, while responses to pressing environmental issues and dwindling resources have yet to be found. Despite all this, the upheaval in the countries of the Arab world shows that the dream of a better life can still move people to turn against existing power structures and stakeholders or even lead to rebellion. Thus the vision of a better future has become a resource which is driving societal, political and social changes in spite of all resistance. Political, social, economic or cultural transformations provide a forum for a variety of notions of what constitutes "progress" or "modern". The future becomes a contested and controversial resource and may be construed according to religious beliefs, social class or prevailing perception of history, may be romanticised or may be discarded completely as a concept: Thus depictions of the future are always statements on a society's "reality". The Center for Mediterranean Studies is now seeking contributors from all disciplines, who would be prepared to present their work or research results at the conference in one of the categories listed below. Thus the center is looking for contributions which deal with historical and current visions of the future, from the oracle of Delphi to modern rating agencies. Furthermore the center wishes to examine the stakeholders and the structures which define, influence or manipulate visions of the future and the changes in and dynamics of local visions of the future, which contrast with those visions of nations, superpowers and dynasties. If you are interested in contributing please send your details by e-mail to by the 15.12.2012. Please enclose a synopsis in English (approximately 300 words) for a lecture of 20 minutes duration and a short CV.

Inmate's claimed plot to kill prosecutors is admissible at his trial for prior murder, judge says

Explosive claims that an imprisoned defendant awaiting trial in a murder case plotted to kill two Baltimore prosecutors can be used in evidence in the original case, a Maryland judge has ruled.

Although lawyers for Robert G. Moore, 45, and two co-defendants in the original murder conspiracy case objected, Judge Emanuel Brown agreed with the government that Moore’s alleged plot to scare off witnesses by killing the prosecutors is relevant to show consciousness of guilt, the Baltimore Sun reports. A limiting instruction will be offered to the jury concerning the co-defendants.

Moore is accused in the murder conspiracy case of working with his crew to arrange seven shootings in retaliation for the slaying of a relative who was stabbed to death during a home invasion robbery in 2011. One man was killed and five others were injured during the shootings, which took place over a nine-month period.

At one point, the government says, Moore, knowing that a prosecutor on his case was pregnant, threatened to send an associate to the hospital where she would give birth. The Baltimore state’s attorney’s office was alerted to the claimed prosecutor plot by another inmate.

Attorney James Scott represents Moore. He argued that his client had just been blowing off steam, because he was angry and frustrated over being wrongly accused. He also said a claimed threat against a prosecutor should not be given as much weight as a claimed threat against a witness would be, because “The prosecutor’s job is inherently dangerous.”

The Howard County state’s attorney’s office is investigating the alleged threats against the two Baltimore prosecutors, in order to avoid a potential conflict of interest.

Out-of-favour van Dijk leaves Reds

Updated January 17, 2013 12:54:11

Adelaide United says striker Sergio van Dijk has left the club after playing only three games this season.

The club says there has been a mutual agreement to terminate the 30-year-old's contract so he can play with Indonesian club PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat.

In a statement, the club said the decision is in the best interests of both parties and wishes the Dutchman well in his future career.

The announcement comes days after van Dijk broke his silence on his fall from favour at the club.

On Tuesday, van Dijk said he does not regret his time in Adelaide despite a difficult season.

Van Dijk said he still held out the chance of playing more games for the Reds but admitted his relationship with his now former coach John Kosmina added to his frustration.

"Some players and coaches have such a relationship and other players have a different relationship... I'd rather have it different," he said.

"I had my best time when Rini (Coolen) was here but that makes sense. My performance was good... and we did well as a team.

"I liked his style as well because that's what I was used to in the Netherlands."

Van Dijk played his first game for the Reds in 2010.

The club says it will be making no further comment on the matter.

After a a building collapse on the University of Missouri campus that left a fireman dead, many are asking how buildings on campus are inspected.

The University of Missouri officials said Monday they use the same codes for buildings and inspections as the city of Columbia.

The city uses what it calls the International Code Council with some local amendments.  But despite using the same code, residents on campus can't call the city with their concerns for code violations because the University does its own inspections.

Under the International Code Council, the city looks at buildings to make sure they're structurally sound with no cracks in the foundation, no cracks in walkways, sidewalks or driveways and makes sure the exterior and interior are free from deterioration.

The city Neighborhood Services department has staff that patrol the city to look for code violations.

According to the Neighborhood Services maintenance code, the Neighborhood Response Team reviews areas in central Columbia annually.

On the first business day after the deadly collapse, The University of Missouri could not immediately provide inspection records for the University Village apartments. But officials said campus buildings are audited every five to eight years.

The University also said it has procedures when an issue arises, but it's still unknown when the apartments were last inspected.

Cops: Inmate attacked while sleeping by cellmate armed with hiar-removing gel Nair

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - A Southwest Florida man who was already in the Collier county jail is accused of attacking a cellmate by wiping hair-removing gel on his face.

Brantly Donald Holliday, 23, of the 2300 block of 8th Street Southeast, is charged with felony battery on a detained person after the other inmate reported the attack.

The 23-year-old victim, who has a mustache and beard, told deputies that Holliday had been harassing him since he arrived on Dec. 7, but "crossed the line" Dec. 20, when he put Nair on his face while he was sleeping. He said he was able to wash it off before his facial hair was removed, but some of the chemical got in his eye, irritating it.

Deputies said surveillance video confirmed Holliday putting the substance on the inmate's face with a towel while another inmate acted as a lookout.

Disclaimer: My story and my... well, characters. This is sort of a joke follow-up to what turned out to be a trilogy of short stories, beginning with "Chocolate", that I have come to call my "dessert" stories. You don’t need to read those first, though, or at least I don’t think so. ^_^

Feedback is very welcome, as it always is, at rosmari.karlssonfaltin@telia.com

by Carola "Ryûchan" Eriksson

It was dark, and she was on the prowl.

She was She-who-laughs-as-she-hides-socks-and-has-very-sharp-claws in her own tongue, but her silly feeder/tummy scratcher/heater/toy provider/bed-humans insisted on calling her Ginger.

She-who-laughs snorted.

Of course, she _was_ a rather dashing ginger-striped specimen, rather tall for a female.... tall, but not fat! No, not fat... she just had big bones! Big bones and thick fur... plus that was just a whole lot of muscles, and nobody had better suggest otherwise, or else.

Anyway, what did humans know? They were rather simple creatures after all, happy as long as She-who-laughs paid them a little attention once in a while and let them pet her pretty fur upon occasion. They were great food and snack providers though, though She-who-laughs could not figure out how they could even hope to hunt something. Ah well, they provided food for her and kept her warm when she wanted them to, that was the important thing.

Originally She-who-laughs had just the one human in her care... but she was sad a lot, and needed a lot of attention from She-who-laughs. So She-who-laughs gave this other human her approval and decided she would take her in as well, because then they would be happy with one another and not demand quite so much time from She-who-laughs. It had the benefit of them getting a bigger den for the pack as well, which She-who-laughs fully approved of, even if it took her a distance away from her usual hunting grounds. Well, it didn’t matter, She-who-laughs could easily go there too, plus this new area held quite a bit of interest for her.

New areas to explore, new males to beat and intimidate — she just wouldn’t put up with the presence of a male, and quite enjoyed beating them until they all knew to fear and avoid her — new dogs to make fun of, new game to hunt down... yes, She-who-laughs would like it here.

And right now she was out doing just these things. Yes it was cold and wet under her paws, which She-who-laughs didn’t like, but she needed to get out and inspect her new turf, to remind everyone that it was hers. Then she could go back to the den and curl up on her humans and force them to pet her, with a sense of satisfaction at the knowledge that she ruled.

It had also been a couple of slow days and She-who-laughs was itching for a good fight. With that in mind, She-who-laughs was on the prowl for a male to beat up on.

Unfortunately, most males in the area knew to stay away from her by now, so it was proving to be difficult to chase one down... and it was just beneath her dignity to scrap it out with a lowly dog. That was when a new scent and a curious noise wafted her way on the cold winter air.

Hmm... the scent of males. Several of them, and those funny boxes where humans threw tasty-smelling bits of food, too. And the scent of a frightened female.

She-who-laughs grinned in anticipation. Here was a fight just waiting for her!

She dashed around the bend, and there they were, three yowling males climbing on those box thingies to get to one small black female who was hissing for all her worth. She-who-laughs did just that and then threw herself at the nearest male, sharp claws at the ready.

It turned out to be a rather disappointing fight, as the male screamed and ran off after She-who-laughs had bit the tip of his ear off, and when the dust cleared it became obvious that so had the other two males. The only one left was the little black female on top of the rickety thing, and she was just to scrawny to fight.

She-who-laughs gave the stranger a warning glance, then set out to go see if she could find those males again for some more fighting. But the little black female jumped down next to She-who-laughs and made as if to go with her.

She-who-laughs scowled. The newcomer was tiny, with big ears and a long tail, and looked at She-who-laughs with huge eyes. Who was this kitten, anyway?

She-who-laughs ran off, intending to go hunting instead, but the stranger followed her, meowing softly. Confused, She-who-laughs stopped to face the stranger, but then the little black female came up to her and nuzzled her head.

She-who-laughs stood perfectly frozen as the little black female cleaned her fur and stroked up against her, purring affectionately all the while. She-who-laughs wasn’t entirely sure what to do, but after a while the persistent affection of the other female, she shyly began to clean her fur in return.

A long time later She-who-laughs stood, staring unblinkingly into the eyes of her humans while explaining things to them quite patiently.

‘...she has no den of her own, so now I have taken her into our pack and she will live in this den with us. She will help me look after you two, so now you have another to take care and watch over you. Make certain you provide food for us both, now. And milk. And a smelly sock.’

She-who-laughs’ second human was petting She-who-is-very-small-and-has-very-very-soft-fur and making strange noises, but both cats were taking that in stride. When the human grew tired of petting and stood, talking to She-who-laughs’ first human, She-who-laughs walked over to affectionately, if a bit shyly still, clean her new mate.

"Oh honey, did you see that? Ginger thinks this little one is her kitten." The second human crooned, earning a wince and an evil glare from She-who-laughs. "What should we call her?"

She-who-is-very-small-and-has-very-very-soft-fur politely told the humans her name, again, but to no avail.

"Hmm... she’s all black except for those tiny white socks on her front paws... how about Socks?"

She-who-laughs nuzzled She-who-is-very-small-and-has-very-very-soft-fur a little and comforted her. ‘Humans are good providers, but they’re not very smart... they don’t understand anything.’

And with a last, insulted look over her shoulder, She-who-laughs ushered her new friend on into the den to show her the best sleeping places.

Ovitz, Eisner Relationship Spotlighted in Disney Suit

Share this content

A shareholder suit brought about by outrage over the severance package paid to former President Michael Ovitz is unveiling some deep dissention in the House of Mouse, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The Walt Disney Co.'s current and former executives are the hot seat in a Delaware courtroom, defending themselves against a seven-year-old shareholder derivative lawsuit, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The suit accuses Disney's board of failing in its fiscal responsibilities by not properly scrutinizing Ovitz's employment contract when he joined the company in 1995 and then granting him a no-fault termination in 1996 that entitled him to the massive severance package when he left in December 1996, the Journal reported.

Ovitz was a powerhouse Hollywood agent, heading Creative Artists Agency, the star-building firm he founded, making $20 million to $25 million the year he left to join Disney.

Ovitz was a close friend of Disney Chief Executive Michael Eisner's for 25 years when he joined Disney-a relationship that deteriorated rapidly with Ovitz claiming Eisner didn't protect him against a corporate culture unprepared for a president from a private company. For his part, Eisner later called Ovitz a “psychopath” and accused him of habitual lying, the Journal reported.

The lawsuit is focused on the $140 million severance package Ovitz was paid. As a former Disney board member, Ovitz and other board members could be held personally liable if the shareholders prevail in the case, which seeks $200 million in damages-the severance package plus interest, the Journal reported, adding that any award would be covered by insurance.

"The fact is, Michael Ovitz left the very successful company he founded and managed to go to Disney," James Ellis, an attorney who works with Ovitz, told the Journal. "He entered into a valid contract, and did not get a penny more than was provided by the contract when Disney terminated it. He did nothing wrong by accepting that payment. Much of what has been said and subsequently reported has been misleading or inaccurate. Our goal, in court and elsewhere, is simply for the truth to come out. We are confident if that happens, we will prevail."

Being Adept at technology doesn’t make you a writer!

by Mary Ann Kerr

The tools for writing can be a distraction. There are so many programs from which to choose and which one is the best for writing? How does one know which one to choose? I have a MacBook Air and love it. When writing, I usually use pages, but I also have Scrivener which is a great program for writers. Whatever program one uses doesn’t make for better writing. I wish it were that easy!

The technology out there is phenomenal and right at our fingertips. It’s given me a great appreciation for the written word before computers. Can you imagine having to go to the library, find the book card in the card catalogue, record the number or letters or author, find the book, scan through it for the information (hoping it’s there), write copious notes or check out the book? I am thankful for the internet and being able to find information so easily even if it can be frustrating at times.

If I start looking at all the programs that are available, I can get bogged down. Sometimes, my program will say, “cliche or overused modifier, use sparingly.” When that happens, I will most likely change the word, using a thesaurus to help me find the perfect one. When I taught middle school, I used to write on the whiteboard, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus and Thesaurus and ask my students, “Which one of these is still alive?” :) I have found the thesaurus extremely helpful when writing.

Crafting words or putting them together to make them come alive is something about which I am passionate. When writing, I want my words to speak to the heart of my audience. Creating something which brings pleasure to the reader is the goal of every writer. I love the way God fills my mind with ideas, mostly new but some used. The programs, although many, have nothing to do with how one writes.

We can get hung up on so many things, punctuation, clauses, commas, all kinds of things, but it’s important to let that go and just write. One can always clean it up later, but if you’re story is flowing, don’t sweat the small stuff. Just WRITE!

Yes, we can get bogged down with semantics. I just looked it up: Semantics: the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.

No matter what programs one uses or how little or great one knows how to use their computer, or the ability to use the technology, the competence with which you craft your words will make or break your story.

Mary Ann Kerr Mary Ann Kerr lives in Washington State with her husband, Philip. Living in various parts of the U.S., Canada, Germany, and Denmark, her travels have flavored her writing. Besides writing Christian historical fiction, Mary, a retired teacher, speaks at women’s retreats and luncheons. She has four sons and twelve grandchildren.

Pre-Season Ski Exercises: Foot Fitness

According to Sarah Anisman, M.S., Fitness Director of Snowcreek Athletic Club in Mammoth Lakes, foot fitness, or barefoot winter conditioning programs used for ski exercises, are catching on "like wildfire" in the snow community.

That's the reason Snowcreek provides several training programs for mountain dwellers who need to get ready, physically and mentally, for the oncoming season. Anisman has employed the willPower method of barefoot physical training, which combines the benefits of cardio-sculpt, the intensity of boot-camp, the self-awareness of yoga and discipline of Pilates into one cohesive, barefoot regimen.

Her motive for adding this class to her winter conditioning agenda is to develop ankle, knee and hit stabilization in order to facilitate better movement and prevent injury.

"So many of our problems start from the ground up, with such a complex network of bones, ligaments and musculature in our feet," she says, attributing pain and in some cases, injury in our ankles, knees and back to improper footwear or unconditioned feet. Plus, sometimes athletes are pigeon footed, duck footed, walk with the pinky-side down or big-toe side down. "So we need to realign from the ground up," she says, "and bring our feet back to neutral."

Here are a few tips to get you started in foot fitness:

Learn Where to Place Your Weight

"There's that age-old rumor; people always say, 'Don't let your knees pass your toes,' but, if you think about it, when you walk down stairs, your knee passes your toes," Anisman points out. So her barefoot students re-learn how to functionally move their knees past their toes, which happens all the time in skiing and snowboarding. "The key is keeping your weight behind you and not putting it into your knee," she says.

Standing Footwork

This involves toe and foot exercises like standing with your toes spread and off the ground, trying to lift your pinky toe as high as your big toe or touching your big toe only to the ground. Other exercises include balancing and stretch work.

According to Anisman and Stacey Lei, the willPower creator, standing footwork increases strength, flexibility and overall coordination of toes. "Being able to spread your toes out is so important," says Anisman. "When you wear shoes all day long, they're crunched together. For some people, they may even cross over each other."

Foot Massage

Both Anisman and Lei also stress the importance of foot massage for keeping your feet circulated and more flexible and teaching self-massage is part of their curriculum. It's good to do before and after skiing or snowboarding in-season, but also just as important to do before or after whatever it is you're going to be doing for training in the pre-season, whether it's yoga, strength training, Pilates, running, surfing, basketball—even walking.
