Oracle Partner Network designations will transform to Platinum, Gold and Silver as Oracle tries to bring Sun and BEA partners into the fold.
Oracle Corp. is expected to revamp its partner program next week in response to complaints that the current program does not let partners clearly differentiate themselves.
The changes will come at a price. Sources said Oracle will require partners to invest more to earn top-level designations in the Oracle Partner Network (OPN). Oracle started briefing some sources on the changes last spring, with executives saying they would offset these higher entry costs by offering higher margins on sales.
As part of the shift, The OPN will also eliminate its Certified Advantage Partner, Certified Partner and Partner levels and replace them with Platinum, Gold and Silver tiers. Details are expected to come out at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco on Sunday; Oracle would not comment.
This OpenWorld will be the first since Oracle's near-complete acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Many Sun partners are hoping for reassurance beyond Oracle's recent Wall Street Journal advertisement that promised to continue funding Sun hardware research and development.
Some of their fears about the future were allayed when Oracle announced a Sun-based Exadata database appliance last month. But that box is based on Intel processors, so there is still concern that Oracle might pull back on Sun's SPARC chips and servers -- which many partners see as superior (and higher-margin). Partners expect to hear news about more hardware-software bundles at OpenWorld.
Several Sun VARs said hardware rivals Hewlett-Packard and IBM have approached them in recent months, hoping to play on the fear, uncertainty and doubt around the future of Sun -- and to recruit them and their customers.
On the software side, solutions providers that built their business on Sun software will also have to navigate Oracle's byzantine organization and rules of the road. As BEA Systems and Stellent VARs learned the hard way after Oracle purchased those companies, they will no longer get a cut of recurring maintenance and support contracts, because Oracle keeps all that revenue to itself.
"BEA partners used to get a cut of the maintenance and very generous [marketing development funds] and a lot of latitude in how to use it," said analyst Ray Wang, a principal with Altimeter Group. "No more."
Still, Oracle did a great job integrating BEA's WebLogic application server franchise and other key middleware into its own Fusion push, Wang said.
"It actually ripped out its own stuff and put in WebLogic," he said. "That makes sense, because WebLogic was the winner and by doing so, Oracle convinced high-end companies that this platform is even more viable and valuable than before."
Scott Barnett, co-founder and chief operating officer of Bluenog, a long-time BEA partner in Piscataway, N.J., said his experience with Oracle was mixed.
"We joined OPN before the BEA buy actually closed, because we wanted to learn about the Oracle culture, and that turned out to be a positive thing," he said.
But it was not positive enough to make up for lost maintenance and support revenue.
"That was a big hit for us," Barnett said.
His customers were also displeased that they could not renew through Bluenog, as they had always done in the past, he said. When Oracle raised BEA [and database] prices in summer 2008, "that was like adding insult to injury," he added.
"BEA, as far as I can remember, had not raised their prices or their maintenance for at least five years. Then all of a sudden you get this huge hike," Barnett said.
The fact that it came in the midst of a terrible recession irked many users, other partners said.
In the aftermath of the BEA deal, Bluenog became more of an ISV, developing its own solutions. The company's Integrated Collaborative Environment is more affordable for midmarket companies than Oracle software. But these kinds of companies are not big enough to demand the huge discounts that Oracle typically works out with its largest customers.
Mike Chadwick, CEO of Prolifics, a New York-based solutions provider, actually moved his company away from BEA before the Oracle buyout. There is more customer interest in moving off of BEA WebLogic to IBM's WebSphere since the Oracle acquisition, he said.
Longtime Oracle partners shake their heads when asked how newbie VARs will fit in.
"They've gone from having a good thing to trying to figure out the Oracle maze," said one Oracle partner in the Midwest.
Oracle has its own terminology that is not immediately clear to outsiders, this partner said. "Technology" refers to the database and middleware business, as opposed to the business applications group. And "pillars" are designated technology areas within those groups.
"By the time you separate tech from apps and the pillars within tech, and then state and local [accounts] from education from healthcare [accounts], you have a huge headache," he said. "Then there are the named accounts. You can sell to anybody, but if you [go into named accounts], you're going to compete with Oracle all the time."
Many Oracle partners acknowledge that they sound like broken records when they talk about channel conflict and getting cut out of the maintenance flow.
Questioned about why he remains with Oracle after more than a decade, Mick Gallagher, managing partner of LST [LS Technologies LLC], a Fallbrook, Calif., partner, asked what the alternatives are. Mentions of IBM and Microsoft prompted laughter.
"Look, despite all the monkey wrenches [Oracle] throws in year after year, we still make money," he said. "I guess that's the bottom line."

American Exceptionalism>
Genuine American Exceptionalism on Due Process
The Obama administration has made explicitly clear its intention to deny civilian trials to scores of detainees, by sending some to military commissions and imprisoning others indefinitely without any charges.
And for those cases where it has deigned to provide real due process --
such as its decision to try the 9/11 defendants in a cri
such as its decision to try the 9/11 defendants in a criminal court --
it is moving in the wrong direction. Obama officials are clearly signaling their intention to reverse that decision and instead place those defendants before military commissions, and yesterday, yet another piece appeared -- this time in Politico
-- describing the beautiful, loving, cooperative relationship between
Rahm Emanuel and Lindsey Graham, which is now "embracing a wide-ranging
deal pitched by Graham that would shut down the prison [at Guantanamo];
provide funding to move detainees to Thomson, Ill.; keep the Sept. 11 trials out of civilian courts; and create broad new powers to hold terror suspects indefinitely." And the endless cavalcade of Rahm-planted, Rahm-Was-Right articles (see the latest from the Post today) invariably
features his opposition to civilian trials for accused Terrorists as
proof of his Centrist though mistakenly rejected wisdom.
In contrast to America's still-growing refusal to accord basic due process to accused Terrorists, consider how Pakistan treats foreignerswhom it apprehends within its borders on serious charges of Terrorism:
SARGODHA, Pakistan -- Prosecutors seeking to indict five Americans on terror-related offenses presented their case to a Pakistani judge Tuesday, laying out charges including waging war against Pakistan and plotting to attack the country, a defense attorney said.
men, all young Muslims from the Washington, D.C., area, were arrested
in December in Punjab province not long after reaching Pakistan. . . .
The men could be indicted on as many as seven charges during their next hearing on March 10, lawyer Hamid Malik told The Associated Press. The judge ordered the defense to review the prosecution report presented in the Sargodha town court and to prepare a rebuttal.
there's any country which can legitimately claim that Islamic
radicalism poses an existential threat to its system of government,
it's Pakistan. Yet what happens when they want to imprison foreign
Terrorism suspects? They indict them and charge them with crimes, put
them in their real court system, guarantee them access to lawyers, and
can punish them only upon a finding of guilt. Pakistan is hardly the
Beacon of Western Justice -- its intelligence service has a long, clear
and brutal record of torturing detainees (and these particular suspects
claim they were jointly tortured by Pakistani agents and American FBI
agents, which both governments deny). But just as is true for virtually every Western nation other than the U.S., Pakistan charges and tries Terrorism suspects in its real court system.
-- first under the Bush administration and now, increasingly, under
Obama -- is more and more alone in its cowardly insistence that
special, new tribunals must be invented, or denied entirely, for those
whom it wishes to imprison as Terrorists (along those same lines, my
favorite story of the last year continues to be that the U.S. compiled a "hit list" of Afghan citizens it suspected of drug smuggling and thus wanted to assassinate [just as we do for our own citizens
suspected of Terrorism], only for Afghan officials -- whom we're there
to generously teach about Democracy -- to object on the grounds that
the policy would violate their conceptions of due process and the rule of law). Most remarkably, none of this will even slightly deter our self-loving political and media elites
from continuing to demand that the Obama administration act as
self-anointed International Arbiter of Justice and lecture the rest of
the world about their violations of human rights.
UPDATE: This
new ad -- from Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol's group "Keep America
Safe" -- might truly be the most repellent and vile political ad of the
last decade (h/t Ben Smith):
UPDATE II: Many
Guantanamo detainees, including numerous defendants accused of being Al
Qaeda operatives, have been represented by military lawyers. As but
one illustrative example, Lt. Col. Yvonne Bradley waged a relentless (and ultimately successful) campaign
to free Binyam Mohamed from Guantanamo despite accusations that he was
an Al Qaeda Terrorist; meanwhile, Navy Lt. Commander Kevin Bogucki aggressively fights the Obama administration
in an ongoing effort to secure the freedom of his client, Kuwait
Guantanamo detainee Fouad Al Rabiah, who "has spent seven years at the
U.S. detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he stands accused of
conspiracy and providing material support to the Taliban and al
Qaeda." According to the "rationale" from those vile McCarthyites, Liz
Cheney and Bill Kristol, these military lawyers should be deemed
America-hating Terrorist sympathizers as a result of that work. I'd
like to hear those two say that these military lawyers are in league
with the "Al Qaeda Seven."

Q: How Do I Delete created and appended element now I've Created element 'li' and appended two other elements(div and button) in it by creating them too.. Now when it is appended in the DOM, I want it to also dynamically be deleted when clicking Delete button, also I've grabbed all those buttons in btnid variable through which that 'li' item is to be deleted but Now I'm not getting How would I addEventListener to those buttons, If I normally add btnid.addEvent....... then it throws error coz it isn't defined yet as there's no element until an element is added dynamically.

let input = document.querySelector('#addinput')
let btn = document.querySelector('#addbtn')

A: You can use document.createElement to add the elements instead, on which you can add event listeners.
const li = document.createElement('li');
li.className = "margin5pxall pad5pxall";
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.textContent = inpVal;
const delBtn = document.createElement('button');
delBtn.className = "btn delete";
delBtn.textContent = "Delete";
li.appendChild(div);
li.appendChild(delBtn);
delBtn.addEventListener("click", function(e){
    listcontainer.removeChild(li);
});
listcontainer.appendChild(li);

Demo:

let input = document.querySelector('#addinput')
let btn = document.querySelector('#addbtn')
let listcontainer = document.querySelector('#listcontainer')

let btnid;
btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    let inpVal = input.value

The lure of mountains beckons the weather-beaten adventurers time and again. Mountaineering is the most popular adventure activity in the Army. After the first successful ascent of Mt Everest (8848m) in 2001 under the leadership of Brig K Kumar, AVSM, the Indian Army mountaineers have blazed a trail of kaleidoscopic achievements in this field. Our mountaineers summitted Annapurna-I (8091m) in 2002, both Everest & Lhotse (8516m) in 2003, Kanchenjunga (8586m) in 2004,an exclusive Army Women Expedition to Everest in 2005, Mt Cho Oyu in 2006, Dhaulagiri in 2009, Manaslu in 2010 and several other peaks in India. The Basic & Advanced mountaineering courses are conducted at Army Mountaineering Institute at the Siachen Base Camp. The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) Uttarkashi and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) Darjeeling are two institutes which function directly under the aegis of MoD and offer vacancies to the Army in the Basic and Advanced Courses conducted by them every year.
Trekking (including High Altitude Trek)
Curiosity - thy name is mankind. Exploring nooks and corners, fathoming the unfathomable, going deep in the caves, ravines and dense undergrowth, nearly always conjures up something challenging further endeavors. Besides providing thrills of exploring unknown areas, these activities also help in gaining valuable information on terrain. An hither-to-fore restricted place like siachen glacier has been opened for all citizens to explore in the form of annual civilian siachen trek. This trek is organized in the month of September every year since 2007.
Cycles, motorcycles, four wheelers; name the vehicle and you will find rallyists from the Army in the forefront. A number of endurance feats mark their achievements. After being a regular participant in Himalayan Car Rallies, Army team had stopped taking part in car rallies. However, with Raid-de-Himalaya 2004, Indian Army has made a notable comeback in the field of Motorsports by winning overall trophy in both categories of four wheelers, many times over.
Mountain Terrain Biking
MTB is a sport which translates the normal activity of cycling into the realms of adventure and takes the individual into the far reaches of the mountains. This sport involves extreme levels of alertness and expertise in handling of the bicycle, which in this case is a ruggedized model of the simple bicycle that we see on the streets. MTB Node at Raiwala is co-located with WWR Node where Army MTB Team is trained for various competition. Each Command HQ holds MTBs for enabling units under their jurisdiction to undertake this adventure activity. Currently, the Army teams hold the unique distinction of having won both Himachal and Kanchenjunga MTB championships, the two most prestigious events of repute.
Land Yachting
Land Yachting is a fast evolving popular sport the world over. It involves the use of sails put on a 3 - wheeled craft to maneuver over flat stretches of ground. As a Pioneering step forward to introduce this sport in India the Army Adventure Wing has set up a Land Yachting node at Bhuj, Gujrat.
The art of climbing natural rock faces has always attracted the enthusiastic trekker and the mountaineer. Over the years, to satiate the urge of climbers, artificial Rock climbing walls have been designed. These are specialized structures which offer varying levels of difficulty for the climbing sport. Distinct from rock climbing, this adventure sport is called 'Sport Climbing'. Army Adventure Wing has a nodal centre for Sport Climbing at Wellington, being managed by the Madras Regimental Centre which conducts the Basic and Advanced courses.

Лу́ций Фенесте́лла (; родился в 36 году до н. э. — умер в 34 году, Кумы, Римская империя) — древнеримский писатель и антиквар, современник императора Тиберия (по сомнительному показанию хроники Иеронима, Фенестелла умер в 19 году, в возрасте 70-ти лет). Исторический труд Фенестеллы, носивший название «Летописи» (Annales), известен только в отрывках, где цитируется 22-я книга, с событиями 57 года до н. э.

Судя по сохранившимся фрагментам, Фенестелла принадлежал к числу историков, желавших привлечь к себе читателей сообщением разного рода любопытных фактов из общественной и частной жизни выдающихся римлян. Так, в трудах Фенестеллы есть сведения о делении дней на праздники и будни, о стоимости водопровода, о ношении золотых колец, о тканях для тоги и т. п. Помимо прочего, особое внимание в «Летописи» уделено этимологии. В этой погоне за интересом содержания Фенестелла, по-видимому, иногда поступался исторической достоверностью; тем не менее, его трактат пользовался большой известностью.

Неоднократно ссылается на Фенестеллу Плиний Старший в книгах «Естественной истории», посвящённых млекопитающим, рыбам, фруктовым деревьям, золоту и серебру, краскам и живописи. Вероятно, по недоразумению Иероним приписывает Фенестелле и поэтический талант.

В Эпоху Возрождения Андрей Фиокки (Fiocchi, Floccus) издал подделку трактата Фенестеллы под названием «De magistratibus et sacerdotiis Romanorum». Фрагменты трудов Фенестеллы собраны в издании Петера «Historicorum Romanorum fragmenta».

The prolonged residence of drug formulation in the nasal cavity is of utmost importance for intranasal drug delivery. The objective of the present investigation was to develop a mucoadhesive in situ gel with reduced nasal mucocilliary clearance in order to improve the bioavailability of the antiemetic drug, Metaclopramide. The in situ gelation upon contact with nasal mucosa was conferred via the use of the thermogelling Methyl cellulose whereas mucoadhesion and drug release enhancement were modulated via the use of sodium alginate and polyethylene glycol polymers respectively. The results revealed that the mucoadhesive polymer increased the gel viscosity but reduced its sol gel transition temperatures and the drug release. The inclusion of polyethylene glycol polymer counteracted the effect of mucoadhesive polymer where by it decreased the gel consistency and increased the sol gel transition as well as in vitro drug diffusion. The in vitro tests performed for mucoadhesive strength and drug diffusion showed that nasal in situ gelling formulations prepared are having good mucoadhesive strength with nearly 100% drug diffusion within 4 hours. So this study points to the potential of mucoadhesive nasal gel in terms of ease of administration, accuracy of dosing, prolonged nasal residence and improved nasal bioavailability.

At the Corte de Las Palmas, Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa City, from September 26 to October 7, 2015.
Against the backdrop of hundreds of images that we encounter daily—most of which are the usual breathtaking landscapes, splendid sunsets, and picturesque backgrounds—the exhibit seeks to show experiences, memories, insights and knowledge focused from particular standpoints, carefully timed, and selectively framed according to the photographers' personal takes on what the Philippines is to him.
With the age of 'everyone is a photographer' upon us, we are deluged with images that are mostly the usual and ordinary and from the same cut. In this exhibit, the members aim their cameras inwards, towards their hearts and souls. Their cameras become their tools of expression. And these, they want to share with the viewers.
Exhibit partners include the City of Muntinlupa, Sigma, Alabang Town Centre, Fujifilm Philippines, Canon, Nikon, Gouache, Laiya, Henry's Professional, Insular Life, Sonria, Sarabia Optical, ABB Architecturals, Trends Travelmart, DLSZ Batch 2014 PA, Friends of Ronald, Barangay Ayala Alabang, AAVA, and Gadgets Magazine.
About AACC: The Ayala Alabang Camera Club is an association from the south of Metro Manila, composed of diverse personalities, from different professions, bonded by their common love of photography. Founded in the late 90s, the club has evolved from an informal group to its current non-profit status, with over 70 members. The club holds monthly photo contests from January to October each year to encourage members to continually improve their skills by producing quality images that conform to or interpret chosen techniques or themes.

Q: Passing objects of redux actions to Stateless component I'm using React and Redux. I want to pass to my stateless component an object of (redux) actions like so:
From my container:
render() {
    const objectOfActions = {
      changeTitle: this.props.changeTitle,
      changeDescription: this.props.changeDescription,
    };

    return (
        <StatelessComponent
          objectOfActions={objectOfActions}
        />
    );
  }

So the stateless component can use the actions as follows:
const SuggestSessionChange = ({objectOfActions}) => {
  return (

      <Button onClick={objectOfActions.changeTitle}>ChangeTitle</Button>

  );
}

The actions do not however fire when passing them wrapped up in an object (though they do fire if the actions are individually passed to the stateless component). Why does this not work?

A: Actions do in fact fire, I had a typo calling an undefined function in my stateless function.

A: change the function argument as parameter. as you are not doing any destructuring of parameter

const SuggestSessionChange = (objectOfActions) => {
  return (

      <Button onClick={objectOfActions.changeTitle}>ChangeTitle</Button>

  );
}


Kempner's Rice Diet program began at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina in 1939. The treatment was a simple therapy of white rice, fruit, juice, and sugar, and was reserved for only the most seriously ill patients. Although low-tech, the benefits of the Rice Diet far exceed those of any drug or surgery ever prescribed for chronic conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart and kidney failure, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and obesity.
A major breakthrough occurred by accident in 1942 when one of Dr. Kempner's patients, a 33-year-old North Carolina woman with chronic glomerulonephritis (kidney disease) and papilledema (eye disease) failed to follow his instructions. Because of Dr. Kempner's heavy German accent she misunderstood his instructions to return in two weeks, and after two months, she finally returned, with no signs of deficiency, but rather with robust health. The woman had experienced a dramatic reduction of her blood pressure, from 190/120 to 124/84 mmHg, resolution of eye damage (retinal hemorrhages and papilledema), and a noticeable decrease in heart size.
Stopping Hemorrhages and Exudates. The eyes are a window to the condition of the blood vessel system and major organs throughout the body. By looking (with an ophthalmoscope) into the back of the eye (retina) a physician can actually see ongoing damage, which is not limited to the eye, but is also happening in the kidneys and all other tissues. Photos of the retina show how the Rice Diet stops the bleeding (hemorrhages) and leaking (exudates) from blood vessels. This serves as a dramatic demonstration of the body's ability to heal given the supportive environment of a healthy diet.
Reversing Heart Disease. Narrowing of heart (coronary) arteries due to atherosclerosis (a result of the Western diet) causes chest pains (angina) and changes in the electrocardiogram (EKGs showing inverted "T" waves). The Rice Diet relieves chest pains and corrects EKG abnormalities. In other words, the Rice Diet can cure common heart disease, which affects more than half of Americans. Modern-day heart doctors routinely prescribe heart surgery for blocked arteries, with far greater costs and risks, and far fewer benefits.
*Calorie intake is usually 2,000 to 2,400 calories daily. Intake varies based upon the patient's condition: underweight people are fed more calories, and vice versa.
*Once the patient's health has returned, then small amounts of non-leguminous vegetables, potatoes, lean meat or fish (all prepared without salt or fat) may be added. However, if these additions result in adverse consequences (elevated blood pressure, enlargement of the heart, abnormal EKG changes, worsening kidney or eye conditions, etc.), then the basic Rice Diet, without modification, must be continued.
The nutrient breakdown is about 2,000 to 2,400 calories per day (depending on the patient's body weight): 95% carbohydrate, 4 to 5% protein (20 to 25 grams), 2 to 3% fat (rice is relatively high in the essential fat linoleic acid), 140 milligrams of calcium, and 150 milligrams of sodium daily. For more rapid and effective weight loss, the calories are restricted.
One reason Kempner chose rice was because he believed that rice proteins were easily assimilated and there was no concern about getting sufficient amounts of the essential amino acids. (This adequacy and completeness of protein is not limited to rice, and is true for all starches, including corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.) He chose rice rather than another starch because in his day, nearly half of the world's population consumed large amounts of rice (sometimes rice made up 80% to 90% of their diet).
The addition of white table sugar adds calories without protein and fat. Fruits and juices are also high in sugar (carbohydrate) calories and low in fat and protein. The primary benefits of the Rice Diet are accomplished by easing the workload on compromised tissues and organs by providing them with clean-burning energy from carbohydrates and avoiding common dietary poisons such as salt, fat, cholesterol, and animal protein. In such a supportive environment the body's healing powers can outpace the damages once caused by unhealthy foods. Dr. Kempner added multivitamins, which may be necessary because of all the refined foods served. Using whole foods (specifically the McDougall starch-based diet), rather than white rice and sugar, provides all necessary vitamins and minerals. No supplements are recommended other than vitamin B12.
Francis Neelon, MD, the Rice Diet's former medical director, has joined with business interests to reestablish the Rice Diet, and they plan to open an outpatient facility in Durham, NC beginning in February of 2014.
One of Dr. Kempner's closest collaborators, Barbara Newborg, MD, recently published an extensive biography on the father of modern day diet therapy, Walter Kempner and the Rice Diet: Challenging Conventional Wisdom.
Walter Kempner, MD was very influential on my career. His published work showed me the power of diet therapy and that nutritional deficiencies do not occur with simple plant-based diets (even with the addition of lots of sugar). Even before I was born, Dr. Kempner had disproven concepts that are still held as true by most medical doctors today, such as, "diet has little to do with heart disease," "additional protein improves health," and "carbohydrates cause diabetes."
No apology needs to be made for serving pasta and marinara sauce, bean burritos, or rice and Chinese vegetables. The diet I recommend, the McDougall Diet, is for the living. The Rice Diet is one that I reserve for the "nearly dead." I am grateful every day for Walter Kempner's contributions to medical science. Unfortunately, because profits, rather than patients' welfare, dictate common medical practice, diet therapy remains unappreciated and practically unknown.

A double dactyl has 2 quatrains.
The first three lines of each quatrain are dactyls (DA da da DA da da, example is Hickory Dickory).
The final line of each stanza is a single dactyl and a single accented syllable (DA da da DA).
The first line is a nonsense phrase which must rhyme with the second line.
The second line must be a proper name or noun.
The second line of the second stanza must be a single word (a six syllable word with stresses on syllables one and 4).
The last line of each stanza must rhyme.
The Poetry Foundation and Wikipedia indicate that some purists hold to the Hecht's and Pascal's original rule that the sixth line of a double dactyl must be a word that has never before been used in line six a double dactyl. Many do not. Mine do not, I'm sure!
On Saturday night, I found myself thumbing through this book and delighted in reading the double dactyls therein. That night, I wrote Manderson Danderson. Then, on Sunday, I was worried that I might not be able to do it again...so I tried and wrote Hickafreed Snickafreed.
Below you can see the drafts for my two double dactyls. You'll see how in some places I marked the syllables and stresses to be sure that they were solid.

Photographers Set To Cheer Home Grey Crusader At Coffs
By Mark Brassel
There will be no shortage of finish images should former Tassie rogue The Grey Crusader land the money at Coffs Harbour this Friday.
The quirky grey is part-owned by well-known racing photographers Mark Bradley and Steve Hart.
"I've been taking photographs of winning horses all my life and I'm yet to actually take one of a horse I've owned – maybe this fellow will be the one!" declared Bradley.

Tuncurry-based trainer Terry Evans prepares The Grey Crusader and he explained the purchase: "He was a cheap horse and had issues; the main one was his barrier manners.
"He was barred in Tasmania for being fractious in the gates and that's the major reason he was not expensive.
"We've done a lot of work with him at home and he seems to have settled into his new surroundings well. He is a healthy and happy horse.
"He's an out-and-out stayer so we will be looking for races over 2000 metres and beyond – the further they go the more he comes into his element.
"And he's durable – he's won a race at Hobart over 2100 metres on a heavy track and won a race at Launceston (1600m) on a good surface."
The Grey Crusader has had just three starts for Evans and his latest effort showed merit when under pressure a long way from home, but he held his ground well for sixth at Port Macquarie over 1506m.
The horse has been nominated for Friday's Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m) with Evans having the Tuncurry-Forster Cup in mind as a target later in the year.
Evans also intends to take up two other horses to accompany The Grey Crusader to Coffs Harbour with Moonwinkle (Class 1 & Maiden Plate, 1600m) and Bouquets (Maiden, 1300m).
Four-year-old mare Moonwinkle has raced on six occasions and is another that will be suited over longer journeys. Last start the mare battled on solidly for second at Port Macquarie (1506m).
"She will be suited by the extra 100 metres at Coffs and is now starting to strike some form," Evans said.
Bouquets, a three-year-old filly, is yet to finish a placing in four runs but Evans suggested her record is deceiving, having been supported in from $41 to $19 at her last outing.
"She finished 10th at Port Macquarie last time out but the effort was much better than it looks on paper," Evans said.
"She drew barrier ten and every time her jockey tried to get in, they kicked up inside her and she was forced to race three and four-wide the entire trip.
"She's no champion but we're expecting a good showing at Coffs; just hopefully, we can get a start as there's bound to be a stack of nominations for the meeting."

Flight Control Rocket Review
Our Review by Carter Dotson on March 16th, 2012
Rating: :: TAKING OFF
Flight Control Rocket is a sequel to Firemint's original iOS smash hit, that takes the path management gameplay and takes it into space.
Developer: Firemint
Version Reviewed: 1.0
Device Reviewed On: iPod touch 4, iPad 2
Game Controls Rating:
Replay Value Rating:
was one of the first games to go viral on the App Store, becoming a real smash hit. It's kind of amazing that the game has taken this long to get a sequel, but it's finally here: Flight Control Rocket. This spacebound sequel boasts the same core gameplay mechanic: land a colored ship on its same-colored lane, and prevent crashes. New in particular are the different ship types like extended snake ships, ships that split on touch, and ships that change speed when locked into a lane. Two changes to the gameplay have been made: now players can get multipliers for flying in ships of the same color, and players have three lives. There are two modes: an endless mode, and a level-based mode.
The core of the game is the same path management mechanic, and it's still as fun to play as it was back when it released. There's still that panic of when two ships are about to collide, and the combo system really makes for some frantic new strategy. Do I keep my double-digit combo going, even as other-colored ships begin to crowd the (lack-of-)airspace. Yes, the game uses Origin, which only really benefits EA, but it does utilize Game Center as well for leaderboards and achievements, and it automatically recognized my Origin account on login.
It feels like what Flight Control Rocket adds takes away a lot of its core simplicity, though. Now it feels like I'm playing as much for collecting the game's new currency as I am for the pursuit of high scores. The game is always pushing to constantly earn coins and buy in-game items. The whole existence of the game and its structure represents a curious snapshot of the history of the App Store. Look back on the original Flight Control – simple, a one-time purchase. Now look at it: multiple modes, currencies, and in-app purchases.
On the smaller iPhone/iPod screen, prepare to activate the Notification Center pulldown tab often. This isn't really the game's fault as much as it is an iOS problem, but it is annoying and can obscure the top of the screen. Play on iPad if possible. It's a universal app, so that's very easy to accomplish. Also, the game seems to stick to its one set of landing strips, at least it does for a very long time; this is a space-based game, Firemint, don't be afraid to get creative!
For better or for worse, the App Store (and Firemint with its acquisition by EA) has come a long way. The market is changing, and I don't know if it's for the better for a game like Flight Control Rocket. It's still fun, but it feels worryingly like a business model as much as it does a game at times.

Helium nano droplets feature an unique environment for aggregation of picked up species into clusters, which makes them a multifunctional tool in cluster physics.
In this thesis the formation of methane clathrates in helium nano droplets is presented. Therefore methane and heavy water is picked up by a cold flow of helium clusters, produced by supersonic jet expansion below 20 K. After ionization of the dopant with an Nier-type ionizer, the clusters are subsequently mass analyzed by a time of flight mass spectrometer. The data is evaluated with a new software, which is developed by members of our workgroup.
Furthermore the installation of a vacuum security to the CLUSTof experiment is described. The aim of this vacuum security, is to prevent oil, originating from the rotary vane pumps, to contaminate the vacuum chambers and thereby producing a lot of dirt peaks in the mass spectra, in case of a power break down.

Gubernatorial candidate Michael Arth thought he could play politics by his own rules. He's learning it's not so easy.
By Jeff Gore
click to flip through (2)
Carlos Amoedo
Rage Against the Machine: After he was shut out by the Democratic Party, Michael Arth (pictured in his office) decided to wage an independent campaign for governor of Florida
On a recent sunny afternoon in downtown Winter Park, a bespectacled man with an athletic build stands atop a plastic milk crate and treats passersby to an impromptu political speech. It's the city's autumn arts festival, and the brick-lined streets are abuzz with activity, but few stop to hear what the man has to say.
"We're not going to be able to change the system until we attack it at its roots," he declares, while being filmed by a well-dressed young man to his right.
On this particular afternoon, he was supposed to speak at a forum for the Florida Initiative for Electoral Reform (FLIER), but the local event organizer never showed to open up the building. So the man and his colleagues decided to make the best of their trip to Orlando by bringing the discussion to the street.
If you stick around long enough to listen, you'll find that this man is running for governor of Florida, and his name is Michael E. Arth.
Arth, a 57-year-old from DeLand, is running without any party affiliation, direct political experience or substantial funding. He threw his hat in the ring in May 2009, he says, to "turn the bullshit of politics into compost" and reform a political machine beholden to special interests. He's an idealist and an optimist who speaks not only of changing Florida, but the entire world.
But like Ralph Nader and countless others who've run anti-establishment campaigns as write-ins or candidates for outsider parties, Arth is learning that the field of politics is a rough place for an idealist – especially one without the support of a mainstream political party. It's a place where televised debate gets you attention but street-corner oratory gets you ignored.
"I know you guys walking past are more concerned with getting to that next store or listening to music, but this is something that concerns all of us, on a fundamental level," Arth says, calling out to a group of young people walking past him. "Because if you don't have representative democracy, your future is going to be determined by other people."
An older man responds to Arth's challenge without even breaking his stride: "That's what democracy's all about. You hire somebody and they run the show."
Arth replies that it's supposed to work that way, but by then he's already speaking to the back of the man's head, leaving him once more with his audience of four – his three colleagues and myself – all of whom have heard Arth's positions already.
After 15 more minutes of speaking, mostly for the benefit of two recording devices, Arth steps down from the makeshift podium. "Standing on your soapbox doesn't work anymore, unless that soapbox is being televised," he says with a tight smile.
After dedicating more than a year of his life to the governor's race, Arth is realizing one can only get so far in politics on ideas alone.
With every political season comes a curious club of outsiders – those who, through some strange blend of idealism and foolhardiness, dedicate themselves to the endeavor of running for public office without the backing of either of the two major parties.
To describe their attempts to get noticed as an uphill battle would be an understatement: They're routinely excluded from official debates, omitted from polls and derided as "spoilers" for even daring to run. On Oct. 12, California Green party gubernatorial candidate Karen Wells was arrested for trespassing after entering a debate from which she was shut out. On Oct. 6, Florida Libertarian Senate candidate Alex Snitker was protesting his own exclusion from a debate on a street corner opposite the WFTV studio here in Orlando. He told Orlando Weekly about the Catch-22 he faced: Pollsters told him he needed more media attention to be listed in their candidate polls, but the media told him he needed more presence in the polls to be covered.
According to Christina Tobin, ballot-access coordinator for Ralph Nader during his 2008 presidential campaign as an independent candidate, the two main political parties actively collaborate to exclude outsiders. Because the presidential debates are organized by former chairs of both the Democratic and Republican national committees, she says, third-party candidates are usually not invited to take part. "They're absolutely terrified for the voters to have more voices and choices," she says.
But Arth is a man who thrives on long odds. Ten years ago he bought 30 homes and businesses for a pittance in a run-down neighborhood in DeLand, then known as "Cracktown." In 2001, he and his wife Maya left their picturesque home in Santa Barbara, Calif., and moved into one of the buildings. After arriving, Arth immediately started planting trees, remodeling homes and nudging out the drug peddlers in the neighborhood.
Only a year later, what was formerly a crime-ridden nest of drug dealers had been largely converted into a quaint neighborhood lined with white-picket fences and palm trees. Arth named it the "Garden District," and for his work both the city of DeLand and Volusia County named Nov. 12, 2002, "Michael Arth Day." A documentary of Arth's accomplishments, New Urban Cowboy, was released by an independent filmmaker in April 2008.
Because Arth is running for governor, neither DeLand police nor city officials will comment on his work in the city. But an Orlando Sentinel article published in February 2002 implies that Arth had broad public support for his project: "DeLand Police Cmdr. Randel Henderson, who calls Arth a visionary … described his work with Arth as a one-two punch: Arth cleaned up the neighborhood, and police cleaned up the crime."
Yet Arth realized that his overhaul of Cracktown didn't address the larger cycle of drugs and crime. "I went through hell rebuilding one little, tiny four-square-block area, when just a little tweaking of the policies could change the whole world," he says. Not one disposed to just talking, Arth, then a Democrat, decided that he would make a run for governor. "I felt an ethical obligation to do something," he says.
Ideologically speaking, Arth is a progressive liberal who has a stance on everything. Compared to the Democratic candidate Alex Sink, he may as well be a Molotov cocktail-throwing anarchist. He wants to legalize, regulate and tax drugs (but ban all drug advertisements), end the death penalty, abolish private campaign financing, create a state bank, cut the military budget in half, consolidate homeless agencies into "pedestrian homeless villages," adopt a single-payer health care system and change the voting process to a ranked-choice method used by most European countries. His ideology is utilitarian with flourishes of modernity: "The goal of politics should be to bring the greatest good to the greatest number in the most efficient manner possible, to this and future generations," he says.
Arth's past is laced with so many incredible stories that even the barest outline of his pre-Florida life took him a couple of hours to explain. Arth left his Dallas home at age 17 and worked under legendary magazine illustrator Don Punchatz at the age of 20. By 25 he had enough success as a poster artist that he could afford to travel the world for a year. In his travels he's given piggy-back rides to kids in the Chinese countryside, taken the hallucinogen ayahuasca in the South American wilderness and driven a Volkswagen van from Greece to Scandinavia. After moving to Hollywood, Calif., in his 30s, he taught himself architecture and built a seven-story Mediterranean-style villa, "Casa de Lila," on a cliff overlooking Los Angeles.
Arth says he always had an interest in urban planning – "Ever since I was a little kid, I fantasized about building the perfect city," he says – so in 1999, he arrived at his own philosophy of urban design. He called it "New Pedestrianism," and it encourages more walking and less driving. The next year, he found DeLand's Cracktown and decided it would be the perfect place to try out his ideas. The rest is history.
Given his eccentric past and relatively
radical political views, in person Arth comes off as a surprisingly normal man, looking more like an accountant than an artist. He makes conversation easily, although he's cautious about being misunderstood and chooses his words carefully. When talking about the issues, he's more likely to cite statistics than make sweeping statements, and usually qualifies his political arguments by mentioning that his writing is more concise and cogent.
His election prospects initially looked encouraging, at least for a "dark horse" candidate. Not long after he declared his candidacy, the Daytona Beach News-Journal ran a front-page story about him and his successes in DeLand, followed shortly thereafter by another front-page article in the DeLand-Deltona Beacon. Convinced that he would have an audience, he dedicated the following nine months to writing a 480-page book, Democracy and the Common Wealth: Breaking the Stranglehold of the Special Interests, which touches on practically every major problem facing the country. He says that spending more than half the span of his campaign writing it was worth the effort, and it allowed him to further develop his knowledge of the issues. "Instead of focusing my time on just winning, I focused on being the kind of person that all of our leaders should be," he says.
As Arth writes in his book, it wasn't long before he had his first encounter with the reality of politics: "On June 5, 2009, a week after I filed for office, I called the Florida Democratic Party. By chance, communication director Eric Jotkoff picked up the phone. In the only conversation that I have been able to have with any top [Florida Democratic Party] official or leader, Jotkoff told me not to run for governor unless I had $3 million to start and $1.3 million a week to win. As Jotkoff told me, 'It's not about the issues; it's about the money.'"
Nearly three months later, after a dozen unanswered e-mails and several calls to the party regarding his candidacy, Arth filed a three-page official grievance titled "The Florida Democratic Party is not being Democratic." Despite being published in full on the Miami Herald's "Naked Politics" blog, it was roundly ignored by party officials.
Then came the Florida Democratic Party conference at the Disney Yacht Club resort last October. "The first night I was there I was doing great," Arth says. "Hundreds of Democrats were coming up to our table and were making donations, and I thought 'Well, this is pretty good.'
"And then Alex Sink spoke outside to everybody, and I stood next to the stage waiting my turn. And that's when Karen Thurman came out – she's the chair of the [Florida] Democratic Party – and she said 'No, no, I'm not going to let you speak. We just want to focus on one candidate.'"
The party had already anointed Sink as its candidate, almost a year before the primary even took place. Arth says Thurman physically blocked him from taking the stage.
The next morning, Arth says, he found he had been reassigned to a table in a nearly empty room far away from the main hall, to where he calls "political Siberia." His campaign materials, he says, had been put into a storage room.
Despite the multiple rejections, Arth held out for eight more months as a Democrat, hoping that the party brass would come around. They never did.
The Orlando Weekly tried to contact Eric Jotkoff to discuss the aforementioned incidents, but multiple calls and messages went unanswered. Requests to speak with Ms. Thurman were redirected to Jotkoff, and the Sink campaign also declined to comment on Arth's criticisms of her platform.
That the state's Democratic leaders don't want to talk about Arth doesn't surprise Al Krulick, Arth's running mate (and contributor to the Orlando Weekly's Arts & Culture section). "They don't want to play with Michael," Krulick says. "Michael's too smart."
Krulick ran for U.S. Congress in 1996 and 1998 on the Democratic ticket against Bill McCollum, and says he was "pulled back" into the political fold by Arth. "Here's a guy who has actually thought things through, and actually has answers, not slogans," he says.
Yet Arth's preference for answers over slogans didn't resonate as well with the media, members of which received press kits with 67 pages of information and a DVD (and later, his book). When Arth went on a campaign tour from Key West to Pensacola in July, making the whole trip by bicycle, he received little coverage outside of his own blog.
To a seasoned observer like Roger Handberg, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida, the media's unwillingness to give Arth attention is nothing personal. "The media historically likes a horse-race, where you've got two horses battling for the win," he says. "It makes life simpler for them, less complicated."
Further, Handberg says, money does indeed play a role in running a successful campaign – despite a strong stance on the issues, a candidate needs to have money to spend to get noticed. "It can be about issues," he says, "but it's going to have to be tied to money."
And money is not Arth's strong point, to say the least. It may have been if his DeLand properties were still worth $1.5 million, as they were at the peak of the real estate market, but all of his eggs were in the Garden District basket when the recession hit. He's only managed to sell half the properties he owns there.
"Now, if you gave me a check for a quarter million dollars," Arth says, "I'd only be back up to broke."
As of this writing, Arth has only raised $8,072 for his campaign and spent $36,199 of his own money. Placing a PayPal link on his website is about as far as he'll go to fundraise. "I just can't do it," he says. "The process of begging for money – I just find it degrading."
Handberg suggests that a third-party candidate like Arth, with no name recognition and little to no financial resources, would have a better chance getting into office at a lower-level election. But Arth is too old and too ambitious to start at the bottom of the ladder. Furthermore, he says, he doesn't even really want a career in politics.
"I'm interested in the governor's office as a bully pulpit," Arth says. "To shame legislators into looking at rational policies."
Which begs the question: Can a man who mostly wants to preach be an effective governor?
"Most politicians ride the waves, they don't make them," Arth replies. "To start telling the truth about our dysfunctional system will make waves, and I intend to do that whether in office or not."
There are other things about Arth that lend weight to the argument that he has no business running for governor, let alone any other political office. He doesn't want to do the difficult work of fundraising, has no political connections and would rather write books than film campaign ads. He knows how modern electoral politics work but refuses to play the game. When asked how he would operate as governor with no allies whatsoever, he says he doesn't know. He says he figures that since most politicians are "sycophantic suck-ups," holding the title of governor would be enough to turn most of the people who once ignored him into deferential yes-men.
After a meeting with Arth in DeLand earlier this month, it was evident that he recognized defeat on the horizon. "[I'd run again] if my wife went along with it," he said while we walked along Woodland Boule-vard, the town's main thoroughfare. "And it'd have to be under a different set of circumstances, not where I'd have close to no chance of winning."
But this race isn't over yet, and so Arth soldiers on, holding public debates with cardboard cutouts of Alex Sink and Rick Scott with his trademark dry humor, despite his estimate that only 5 percent of voters in Florida know who he is. Like a well-trained baseball batter, he sprints towards the goal regardless of the surrounding circumstances.
And, like the batter fresh off an unimpressive ground ball, the best Arth can hope for now is that his opponents screw it up big time.
The Also-Rans
In addition to Michael Arth, these outsiders are also gunning for the Florida governor's seat. As you read below, the spectrum of sanity among these folks is quite wide – although of course, it can be argued that they're all insane for running.
Farid Khavari (no party affiliation) is an Iranian-born economist with a doctorate in economics from a German university. His poor English immediately precludes him from the office – when he was allowed to speak for two minutes at the Agriculture Institute of Florida Candidates Forum last month, his visible nervousness exacerbated the problem, as he closed his speech with this final line: "We have 1.2 unemployment Floridian. Thank you very much." And despite his supposed expertise in economics, he makes some dubious claims – that he can create a million jobs in three years purely in the business of solar energy, and that eventually, a society modeled on his principles would be completely cost-free. That's right, no costs whatsoever. No wonder he calls it "carefreeism!"
Peter Allen (Independence Party) is a respectable guy who just wants to respect the Constitution. Born with only one eye and one kidney, and raised in a household run by a distant father and an alcoholic mother, Allen left home at the age of 15 and made an impressive life for himself, eventually starting an industrial electronics business that let him retire at an early age. As a member of the Independence Party of Florida, he's a centrist who says he would benefit the state by acting as a "referee" between the two eternally bickering parties. We'd prefer someone to act as a warden instead, but it's a start.
Daniel Imperato (no party affiliation), as fate would have it, also has only one functional eye. He says that while carrying a briefcase full of jewels in London, he had acid thrown in his face by a thief, blinding him. What Imperato doesn't understand is that such stories are only believable if told sparingly – he also says Barack Obama knows him well, that Donald Trump stole the idea for The Apprentice from him and that he's working on a documentary with Michael Moore about the "African banks." At one point during our discussion, he pointed to a Porsche Cayenne parked outside and said it was his car. Yet after we bid each other adieu, he slunk off to a white minivan.
Josue Larose (write-in) is the most puzzling enigma of the bunch. A 29-year-old Deerfield Beach resident who claims to be a billionaire music producer, Larose has formed 40 political parties and more than 340 political action committees. Either the man has a fetish for paperwork or thinks that practically every institution in contemporary American life is in need of more political muscle: He's created PACs for judo schools, helicopter companies, Episcopal churches, dating agencies and medical laboratories, just to name a few. The one time his campaign phone number was answered, a man with a thick Caribbean accent briskly redirected us to his e-mail address and hung up the phone.
C.C. Reed (no party affiliation) did not answer any of our phone calls or e-mails, but if his website is any indication, he's got a knack for making lemonade from lemons. Rather than lament his steady string of political defeat stretching back to 1994, Reed brags that he is "the longest running candidate for governor." Hooray for persistence!

I am sure if the sizes were correct they may be comfortable shoes. I wear an 8.5 and have all my life. In all shoes, not this one. The tag says 8.5 but they are an a minimum 9.5. This buy was a waste for me.
Fit perfectly! Look great! Love these shoes!
Perfect for what I needed, as I use them for house shoes because I am on my feet a lot at home.
I thought that the material was canvas;. Instead it's a nubby sort of cotton. Also, the shoes don't fit quite right and gap around the instep. They are okay to wear on occasion.
I ordered a 9 which is my size but the show seemed larger and the heel will rub on the shoe. Inside was comfortable but a bit disappointed in how they fit.
I really like these shoes; I've tried them on and believe they will be very comfortable. And, love the sage color!
I love them. They are comfortable . I struggle with getting shoes because of my wide feet and my toe area .i usually wear 9.5 wide got the ten .


Kartchner Caverns State Park  is in the southeast Arizona in the southwest region of the United States.

Q: Over the last year, I sometimes forget things. I am 66 but I always have had a great memory. What can I do to avoid becoming more forgetful?
A: Most of us have had firsthand experience with memory lapses. We find ourselves flustered trying to recall a name during a conversation. We forget where we parked the car. We can't recall items on the short grocery list we left back at home.
Based on the results of many studies, staying physically active and exercising regularly in middle age and beyond might be the best thing you can do for you brain. It helps delay and perhaps even prevent decline in brain function.
Why should physical activity help keep you mentally sharp? The exact reason is not known. But it may be related to oxygen levels in the brain.
In a recent study, researchers identified 100 relatively healthy men and women ages 60 to 80 with varying levels of reported physical activity. For one week, the study participants wore an accelerometer to measure their amount of physical activity. Each of them also had their oxygen consumption measured during a maximal exercise test. Oxygen consumption during peak exercise is a standard way to assess cardiorespiratory fitness.

D&D Castle
I spent an extended weekend (Friday through Sunday) with a group of friends and their families in a small, 900 year old castle, having a good time and playing some games. We slept in various places on the ground floor and on the second floor, and played several card games like Phase 10, The Game, Munchkin, and others, and the board game Talisman with three extensions.
There was only very bad internet connection and spotty cell phone reception.
In advance, we were discussing roleplaying session from our ongoing campaign (non-D&D), but I argued against it because only a few of us were in that campaign, and it would be weird for the others. Instead, I offered to run an open table game of Original Dungeons & Dragons of 1974, brought the Single Volume Edition, pencils, paper, and enough dice-packs for more than 15 people, because I expected everyone to forget to bring theirs [which turned out to be an accurate prediction].
And then something very old school D&D happened:
What would it be without Edition debates…?
One other player was excited to hear about the D&D idea and offered to bring his own rule books and character sheets, because he also liked Original D&D. His "original D&D" turned out to be, in fact, a German translation of Mentzer's Basic and an English version of the Rules Cyclopedia, and he had already prepared a character, an Elf, and helped two other players create theirs, a fighter and a Halfling.
I expressed my opinion that it was not "Original" Original, but that it was fine. He tried to prove to me that the Mentzer set was indeed the Original D&D, because it said under "Authors": Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. Frank Mentzer, bless his modesty, has his name in small print under "Edited by".
… and compromises!
The very old school D&D thing that followed was that we compromised to play a version that was about 60% Moldvay's B/X overall, with some 20% Mentzer here and there and some 10% principles from the pre-Holmes-era / 10% rules of thumb. In other words, we played our very own mix of D&D rules from various sources. And thanks to knowing B/X almost by heart and having the charts and monster stats from OD&D and Mentzer at the table it worked very well.
With the exception of Mentzer-owner and me, none of the other players had played Dungeons & Dragons before, although a majority had various degrees of experience with other rules systems.
Fast Character Generation and House Rules
One big boon was the fast character creation. We rolled 3d6 in order, start at level 1, and declared that the magic users had all the 1st level spells in their books, so they could pick a different one every day. The Cleric-players were dismayed to learn that their "Healer", as they called their class, was not able to magically heal… but they took it like champs, as a motivation to work towards level 2 fast.
House rules: I allowed the clerics to do First Aid by rolling under WIS. Success meant 1 HP restored, a natural 1 meant 2 HP restored. A character who dropped to zero or below was dying fast, but if first aid was applied successfully within 1d6 rounds, the downed party member could attempt a Death Save to survive. The BECMI-player proposed we should play with a minimum of half HP at level 1, and I agreed to that.
By the Mentzer book, Dwarves could not use the archetypical dwarf axe, but I allowed it when the issue came up. And I played with Critical Hits and Fumbles, deciding based on the situation what each meant.
Descending AC
We played with DAC, and it was zero problem. I assume that was because I did not bother to introduce any alternatives. When players noticed in the equipment list that better armor had lower numbers, they were confused, but when I said "1st place in a race is best, 2nd place is a bit less good, 9th place is last", that cleared that up. I also explained "You all start with 19 to hit AC 0. When you roll to hit AC 5, just go 5 down from 19 — that is 14. Roll that or higher. If you don't know the target AC, just tell me how much under 19 you rolled: That is the best AC you hit.
Everyone understood that within 5 minutes, and things were clear.
I, personally, took a lot longer ot understand the concept of descending Armor Class, and I assume the magic secret of quick understanding Descending Armor Class is to focus on understanding it, as opposed to focusing on comparison to other target systems and looking for differences.
Open Table
We played "open table", with many players dropping in and out over time. Player count was between 7 and 10 at all times, but competing with other games, fresh cake, grilling, etc, there was some cycling through. So played it very loose with the drop-in, drop-out.
That was quite easy to do in the narration because I set my game in an area full of adventuring parties in various camps; a faux Mesoamerica with private conquistadores hungry for treasure.
The game ran for four sessions, one on the first evening, two on day two, and one final session on the third day. It was very well received, a core of players was highly motivated and hungry for level-ups. Especially the clerics were very driven to gain XP, because they felt it was unfair that they were "healers who could not heal" — still, they liked that they were stronger and could wear armor, as opposed to the arcane magic users, and especially that their level-up threshold was lower than M-Us or Elves.
When we ended our last session, several players expressed hopes that we would soon gather again and continue the campaign. They carefully filed away their character sheets or made photographs of them and of notes taken, and of maps, to lose no valuable information.
General judgement of Dungeons & Dragons was that it was an excellent system, especially that it was very easy to grasp and fast to play, not as complex as many other games (notably the German system Midgard). Players remarked especially about the fact that combat was so fast and easy, not at all the tedious slog that it could become in other systems.
I was happy to see that the players chatted a lot about the game and what had happened, amongst each other as well as with others who had not been at the table.

Brevard College student Rachel Anthony presents her final degree recital and photography exhibition Friday, April 17, at 4 p.m. in the Porter Center for Performing Arts. The two events are free and open to the public.
Anthony will perform in Scott Concert Hall, and music will include arias from Don Giovanni, Der Freischütz, and La Fille du Regiment, as well as songs by Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, and Roger Quilter. Following the concert, Rachel will give a gallery talk about her senior photography show in the Porter Center Mezzanine Gallery.
Anthony, a graduate of the Charleston County School of the Arts in South Carolina, has distinguished herself as a choral singer, musical theater and opera performer, photographer and scholar during her time at Brevard College. Her accolades on campus include being selected to perform in the Honors Recital for four straight years, sitting permanently on the Dean's List, and winning awards from all three Fine Arts Departments. This year, she was selected as Outstanding Student Leader, Outstanding Music Major and Who's Who Among Students.
Outside of school, Anthony has participated in several professional opera productions with the Asheville Lyric Opera and has been writing concert reviews as an intern with Classical Voice of North Carolina, a professional online arts journal. She was recently admitted to the Master's Program in Vocal Performance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and will begin her studies there this fall.
