What Roleplaying is
Within this part we will discuss what roleplaying is, how to get acquainted with it, and have a chat about the basic themes and pillars that make an RP an RP. This is intended for someone who has only a faint idea what roleplaying is.
I see you do not know what roleplaying is. I do not blame you. Roleplaying is something that is not too popular, but it doesn't mean it's not a lot of fun! Note that roleplaying only excites certain types of people. The traits commonly found in these people are: an active imagination; enjoy reading and writing, especially imaginative stuff, especially fiction; like video games or Pen and Paper games such as DnD; used to pretend a lot as a young child. Note that you don't have to be any of those.
Now, onto your question. What is roleplaying, you ask? The name is actually quite self-expanatory. When you RP (a short term for Roleplay, or Roleplaying) you play a specific character, or role. Roleplaying takes advantage of whatever medium it is done over. Since this is written for the OnRPG RPer (short for Roleplayer) in mind, we will discuss only Roleplaying using message board mechanics.
First, I recommend you take a look around the forum. You will see some things: a topic, with a title, sometimes very much like a novel or video game title (these are the biggest inspirations of Roleplaying, for your informations.) Within this topic, you will find that the first topic gives an overview. Think of this like the back of novels, that will explain in a few paragraphs what the novel is about and where it is. This is called an Overview. Read this! Then, will come the character sheet. Virtually all RPs have character sheets. More on character sheets in the next part. The character sheet outlines who the character a person is playing. Things like their name, their gender, a physical description, etc,
Now what is this all for? To roleplay! The overview is where the RP takes place. The Characters are what the players are roleplaying, and who they will be within this setting.
I see that you are asking, how do they play these roles? An excellent question, my friend! When you start reading these roleplays, you will notice that they are written like prose, usually past tense. That is, they're written like ordinary novels. Like the stuff you find in the fiction section in the library! The best way to explain this is by example.
For example, let us say there is an RP with two characters in it, George and Anne. The setting is Alabama. This is not a very interesting RP, but it will suffice as an example.
Player one will make a post like this:
Then player two will respond like this:Originally Posted by Player One
When you roleplay, you will make posts like that! Note that only you will control your character. That is a big thing about roleplaying: nobody controls the other person's character. Otherwise, it defeats the whole part of playing a role.Originally Posted by Player Two
You will notice that each post plays off of the other player's post, allowing them to work together. Just like you do in real life. You hold conversations with other people, not yourself. If you're not going to work with other people, then you're not roleplaying. That's another part of roleplaying; working with other players. If you're not working with other players, then you're pretty much writing a novel.
These are the five pillars of roleplaying:
1. Setting
2. Plot and Story
3. Your character
4. The other characters.
And all of these tie into:
5. Playing your character as he exists within the setting working with other player's characters in a plot to make a good story, by writing a few paragraphs with prose, and then waiting for another player to respond to that post with more prose, and then you and the other players respond to that post. After a while, a story will form from these interactions of players playing a role. This is called "Roleplaying."
(more to come for this section)
The Basics of Roleplaying
Here, we will have a pleasant little chat on the basics of roleplaying. This assumes you have read Part One, or already know the basics of that part. We will discuss what metagaming is, how to make a post, who the Host is, what an OP is and some other tips and tricks to get the most out of your roleplaying experience, and get you started in the wonderful world of Roleplaying. Yay, right? Right!
Note: This is a pretty lengthy section, so I've cut it up into mini bite sized morsels.
2.1 Improvisation
Keeping the Five Pillars of Roleplaying in mind, we begin on how to Roleplay. Like I suggested in Part One, I recommend you read a few RPs first. I'll wait for you to do this.
Have you finished yet? Yes? Good! I can't see you through this screen, so I'll take your word for it. This witty statement actually leads me to my first tip about roleplaying:
IMPROVISATION! I bet you've heard of it. RPing is really just improvisation, except that instead of acting on a stage, you write a story with a bunch of other people. In improvisation (called improv by those people who like to shorten words, like me), you, an actor, work with other actors to make a story, similar to a play. It is similar in that you are on a stage, and that you are actors, but it differs in that you make up the lines as you go along. Our friends at wikipedia call improvisation "Improvisation is the practice of acting, singing, talking and reacting, of making and creating, in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment." However, improvisation is not a chaotic mess with every actor does their own thing and there are no rules. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Improv has quite a few rules! (I know, I took an improv class once. You can take my word for it!) Let's deal with these rules as they apply to Roleplaying one by one. RPing still differs from Improv in many different ways, but those will be addressed later.
a. Follow the premise. Like I said before, you can't have one actor on the stage on mars, and the other in medieval England in 1236 preparing for a Crusade or whatever. This doesn't make any sense for the audience, or for anyone. Don't do it. Instead, work out a premise before hand and stick with it. Searching for an artifact in the Jungle like Indiana Jones, or strolling down the park during a carnival or whatever. The improvisation happens based on what you see. For example, a flying saucer coming down in the middle of the carnival is not very improv-like; it is silly, in a bad way. However, you being dressed like an alien, and pretending to speak in Martian is perfectly fine. Or, having a flying saucer come down in the middle of the jungle is uncool, but a sudden ambush by a gorilla (or guerrilla, if it's a jungle ravaged by civil war) is fine.
b. Acceptance. This is a pretty big rule, actually, so keep it in mind. In essence, this rule is: Once somebody has improvved it so, it is so. So, let us say we are both improvising on a stage. I say I have a sword on my hip. You cannot contradict that. Your character cannot say, "No, you have a CHICKEN on your hip!" and it will be so. This rule ensures that the whole improvisation is coherent, and non-contradictory. Once it gets contradictory, it becomes a mess, and it's no longer fun. This doesn't mean characters cannot argue, ("No, we should go to the left!" "No, we should go to the right!") it means that you have to accept whatever the other actor says about the environment. HOWEVER, the Host of an RP can veto things that do not fit in with the premise of an RP.
c. Play off lines. This is probably where roleplaying is more like improv. But, it can be summed up like this: "Work off of other people's posts, and make your post in a way people can work off of yours." RPing is all about working with other people to make a coherent and fun story. If you go off on your own, it's not fun for everyone else involved!
Pretty simple, right? If you keep these three rules in mind while roleplaying, you're going to do great. However, RPing is not like improvisation acting more than what I listed above. In fact, it differs from it improvisation in many important ways.
2.2 The Host and the OP
First and foremost, there is the HOST. The Host is the person who created the topic, and the OP (original post.) Hosts have veto power over every post, control who can join their RP, and control the overall arc and direction of the story. You must follow the rules set by the Host if you want to stay in his RP, even if the rules don't necessarily follow those found in the RP Rules section stickied near this topic. The Host is very similar to the Dungeon Master, or Game Master of D&D or other games, but the big difference is that Host is virtually always a player in the RP.
Moving on, I'm going to say a bit more about OPs, mentioned several times before. OPs are the opening post of the RP, and they contain the setting, the outline for the beginning of the story (similar to what you'd find on the back of a novel), any of the Host's special rules for the topic, and the character sheet. Read all of these in depth so you know what to do when making your character. A good OP is one that contains important information so if you forget something, you can always go back to the OP and check. Keep this in mind!
Now, the OP will contain something curious: A character sheet! Now, a character sheet is something very very important.
2.3 The Character Sheet
A character sheet will look like this:
Physical Description:
And anything else the Host wants to add, such as Magical Powers, or Guns, or Race, or whatever:
Before attempting to tackle your character sheet, first read the Setting closely, so you can be sure that your character will fit in the setting. For example, you don't want to be Babu Chamrajnagar, the Indian Guru, in the middle of an Elvish Swamp, now do you? (You don't.) A lot of the time a Host will add restrictions to the characters, such as nobody over eleven years old, no women, no Elves, etc,
Here are some common sense rules to keep in mind while filling out your character sheet:
A. Is this someone you would like to roleplay? By far the most important rule. If an RP has restrictions that won't allow you play character types you absolutely do not want to do, then don't join the RP.
B. Don't be a child or an old person. 17-50 is an excellent age range because characters can still be fit, but young or old at the same time. Most RPs are physically demanding for your characters, and a six year old boy wouldn't fit in well with an epic quest to slay a dragon, and a 70 year old woman likewise wouldn't do to well trying to solve a murder mystery in New York.
C. Physical descriptions should be accurate, and to the point, and realistic. Not everybody is the "strong guy," or the "weak, but agile guy." Some people are strong and fast, and some people are weak and slow, and levels in between.
D. This follows up on rule C in that you should always avoid stereotypes and cliches. Always.
E. In your History, give your character depth. Depth doesn't necessarily come from being an orphan and surviving hard times; depth comes from how you deal with situations, not all of which are hardships.
F. Fit in the setting! I mean it.
Coming up with a character can be a hard thing. Usually, you want a character already in your head, and you morph around the character to fit in the setting while still being unique. Uniqueness is good, but don't go for originality for originality's sake. Make your character interesting, and fun to roleplay, and for others to roleplay with. This doesn't mean your characters has to be a clown, but RPing is all about having fun. A megalomaniac evil wizard can be fun without being a clown.
2.4 Metagaming and OOC
OOC stands for Out of Character. There is an important, albeit obvious distinction between in character and out of character posts. An IC post is where you play the actual character, hence, in character. OOC, inversely, is where you're just yourself. For example, right now, I am OOC. I'm not playing anybody right now! You can still make OOC posts in an RP, even though an RP is still predominantly IC posting. Which is good, because RPs are about the IC posts, not about the OOC! I strongly recommend you only make OOC posts when you need clarification for something.
Well, how do you make an OOC post, you ask? An OOC statement is usually surrounded by double parenthesis, like so: ((This is an OOC post.))
An IC post is like so:
Lord Donovich is not making an OOC post.
It's a pretty clear distinction.
However, this is one of the Biggest Rules of RPing: Any information you receive OOC the character does not know. It can also be written as: If the information is not available in the environment the character is in, or the character did not already receive this information beforehand in an IC manner, the character does not know it.
This is called metagaming. An example of metagaming would be if I were told by the Host that there is a secret mine of silver somewhere in the mountains when the Host was OOC, and then suddenly my character in the RP went, "Hey! I know a mine of silver!"
Metagaming is considered cheating, and ruins the suspension of belief that could be found in the RP. Avoid it at all costs.
The Character
In this section we will have a nice chinwag about roleplaying a Character in an RP, how to make a good, believable Character, and one that fits in with the setting.
Oh, hello! I didn't see you come in. I was just thinking about how to roleplay a character well until you burst into the room. Would you be interested in hearing what I was thinking? Oh good, you would!
The character is a very important, if not THE most important, part of an RP. Why, that's exactly what RPing is: role playing. Playing the role of your character, that is. When joining an RP, the character should be first and foremost on your mind, and second the story, and third the setting. Why do I put it in this order? The character first needs some foundation, some something, be it a personality, a quirk, a destiny, whatever is important to that character, that decides how a character interacts in situations, affects the story, and relates to the story.
3.1 A good foundation
I will reiterate, the character is the most important part, and requires a foundation to help you build on. When I say foundation, I do not mean cliche. I mean something like a history, or a certain personality type you'd like to roleplay. This foundation will sort of dictate how a character deals with situations. For example, a sociopath character won't care who gets hurt on his quest, whereas a righteous good-two-shoes will, and will go out of his way to help people on his quest. A character with an extreme phobia of bats won't easily go into caves, whereas a character who adventured often in his childhood, and is therefore no stranger to dark, dank caves, will waltz in without a twinge of fear in his heart.
After you have a foundation that you are pleased with, the rest should come naturally. For example, if you started with personality (sociopath) then the history will come easily. What gave your character sociopathy? Maybe he was ridiculously abused as a child by his sociopath dad, or everyone he trusted betrayed him repeatedly, or everyone he loved died and he had to fend for himself against potential betrayers, etc, etc.
The important part is that the progression in the creation of your character should be natural, and flow together. Having a bunch of traits just thrown together and ducttaped together will be a sort of jerky character to roleplay, since it will seem more like a caricature of traits rather than a realistic character.
3.2 Interacting with the story and other players in the RP
An RP would be boring if it were just you! Or, it wouldn't be an RP and just a normal story. Either way, a big part is interacting with other players. Interaction should be fun for all parties involved! Whether this means saying cool things, or funny things, or bantering back and forth, having a serious discussion, or whatever your interaction is, it should be entertaining.
Now, as was mentioned in 3.1, you should already pretty much know how your character will respond to in most predictable situations. It should not be how you would respond in a situation, but your character. Let me put that in bold so it isn't missed. How your character responds in a situation should not always be how you would respond if you were in that situation. It defeats the whole purpose of RPing a character if you're going to RP yourself. Instead, before writing a post, I suggest you take a minute and put on your Hmmmm face and think about what your character would decide, and go through his (or hers! from now on I'll refer to the character a he for simplicity) thought motions and patterns, and think about what parts of his foundation would help decide this reaction. And then when you're finished, write that post up! The more thought you put into it, the more details you have, and the more details you have, generally the better your post is.
Now, to get more specific on interacting with characters: have every post you make in some way respondable by another player. It's pretty self explanatory. You want the RP to go back and forth as much as you can while moving the story along. Avoid dead end posts! Those are posts where no one can easily respond. Even if they are theoretically able to be responded to, it doesn't mean it's going to be easy and therefore fun for the other parties involved.
It's a little difficult for me to give you an exact example of a dead end post, since it varies so much based on context. I will attempt, though. (Wish me luck! Thanks. I appreciate the luck.)
So two dudes and a lady are having a pleasant conversation, when one gentleman makes a rather sexist remark and insults the lady. She makes a post where she storms off in anger, and the two gentlemen, who have nothing really in common, have a very hard time making conversation, and the RP eventually dies. So, where then, was the dead end post? Why, the part where the lady storms off! Although this is indeed a plausible reaction, it still causes a chain of events where ultimate end is the death of an RP. (Hence the name: dead end! Pretty clever, huh? I'm glad you agree.)
What should have the lady done? Good question! In this particular instance, the person playing the lady should have told the insulting gentleman how insulting he is, and start a debate on sexism, or at least in some way continue the conversation. This is much better! Keep conversations and scenes going on as much as you can, but when they start to drag, transition easily and smoothly to the next scene. It's an art, so it takes some practice! So get out there and start practicing!
3.3 Growing your character
I mentioned before creating a solid foundation for your character that gives you a good model of how you character would react in predictable situations. If you have one, excellent. But here's a thing to remember: a good character is not a rock. A rock character does not change no matter what he goes through over the course of the RP, never learns anything from other characters, and never does anything later on in the RP that he wouldn't have done in the beginning because the RP hasn't changed him. Do not let your character be a rock.
Let your character grow and change over the RP. RPs are typically very harrowing and stressful experiences for your characters, and these experiences are typically ones that change a person, and force them to adapt. Don't force changes on your character, but don't be afraid to let things about your character change, even fundamental things. For example, a character who has been betrayed in the past will in the RP meet several people who are very trustworthy and help said paranoid character. A good direction to go with this is that the betrayed character realizes that people aren't so bad and is more trusting, rather than remaining a stoic and paranoid individual the entire RP even though all the people around him are treating him kindly.
This is called character development. It's an advanced technique that does not come naturally to all RPers, but it's an extremely important one. All good novels and stories have characters changing over the course of it, either by learning new things, and reacting to things differently than they would have at the beginning, and so on.
But to best help your character grow, he needs to be tended like a plant. A plant does not grow without sunshine and water! Well, you ask, in this analogy, what are the sunshine and water to growing of my character? Thoughts and narratives. This will be explained more Part Seven, but I can sum it up right now: when you write your posts don't just write action and dialogue. Write what your character is thinking while he does those actions and speaks those words. This is the biggest difference between a good RPer and a beginner RPer: the good RPer writes from that character's perspective, while a beginner RPer is more likely to just describe what that character is doing or saying.
Part Four

Did you know it's illegal to have a pet falcon? Well, it is in the United States, anyway. You can only have falcons if you're a falconer, and actually using them for work like hauling tiny airborne plows through your field or something, we guess. Anyway, the point is Randall, one of the Woot Writers, was spending his workday Googling various ways to acquire a falcon when he discovered Royal Jordanian Airlines' policy on falcon transportation and initiated the following conversation in the Woot Writers' chat room:
Randall: Good to know.
Scott: The falcon lobby is full of hard men.
Amy: This is a problem for me, as I have 3 falcons and not enough money to buy an extra seat.
Scott: haha
Randall: SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU SLEPT WITH THAT FALCON, WELFARE FALCON MOM.
Randall: FALCOBAMA CARE!
Scott: I wonder if Marvel comics' Sam Wilson has to check in?
Amy: That's presumptuous of you. I'm actually barren. I adopted my falcons.
Randall: Oh, my mistake.
Amy: But…I did it for the welfare, so…
Randall: FALCOCTOMOM!
Amy: HA
Amy: I'm gonna pose nude in Playfalcon
Scott: I only read that for Norman Mailer's column on gender relations and how they influence hood styles.
Scott: THIS MONTH: MILES DAVIS ON MODAL RABBIT HUNTING. VULTURES: OBSCENE OR QUIRKY? AND NEW FICTION FROM TRUMAN CAPOTE.
Amy: Riiiiiight.
Amy: And the naked falcons, perv.
Randall: I miss the days when you could just say, "I'm a talon man" and the falconeminists didn't get all up in arms about it.
Amy: "Hey, mister! My beak's up here!"
Randall: Look, it's just a fact of nature. I'm programmed to notice your vicious claws and decorative plumage.
Amy: Actually, it's the males who have decorative plumage. Oh. Oh I see. My mistake.
Randall: Oh, sure. A guy appreciates good preening and all of a sudden he must be a falcosexual. Bigtory runs both ways, Amy.
Scott: I recently looked at a Hustler but it was creepy how they focused on the perch so much. I prefer that falcon-next-door look.
Randall: I hate all that "barely fledged" crap. I want a real, mature falcon. Give me a 10-year-old mother of eight broods, not some chick still begging for meat from the gullet.
Jason: Those falcons in the magazines do nothing for me. What isn't silicone is airbrushed. And those stupid "sexy" expressions on their faces.
Amy: I'm not passing judgment, Randy…just taking note. My mom always said you don't choose the falcon you fall in love with. He OR she. Now my grandma, she was a total falconist.
Jason: Well, I don't care how they do things in the Gulf region: polyfalconry is morally wrong. I believe in one man, one falcon.
Randall: IT SAYS SO IN THE AUDOBON SOCIETY BOOK.
Amy: Prude.
Randall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z63ulmpKxAg Open 15 tabs of that. Now imagine you're on a plane with them.
Amy: OH GOD MY EARS.
Jason: The longest 1:17 on the internet.
Randall: "IF I DON'T GET ANOTHER G**DAMN GIN AND TONIC I'M TAKING THIS WHOLE FLIGHT DOWN."
Amy: My dogs actually just came running and doing that head tilt thing.
Randall: Jason brings up the point that Royal Jordanian Airlines might not even serve alcohol. So you'd better hope there's an opium den in the cabin or something.
Randall: http://youtubedoubler.com/3KP5 Found the sweet spot.
Amy: WHY DO I KEEP CLICKING ON THAT?
Scott: It's like watching Judge Judy.
Amy: Oooh I bet that's on right now.
Scott: http://youtubedoubler.com/3KPg
Amy: No.
Scott: Go on Amy. Do it.
Amy: NO
Scott: Do iiiit.
Amy: Son of a
Amy: I think I'm getting used to it.
Gatzby: Not even one falcon punch joke out of all of that? I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed?
Amy: Falcon punch. Like a forceful strike to the face or a delicious fruity concoction?
Randall: I'm not explaining it. Look it up on urban dictionary.
Amy: Uh oh.
Randall: All right I'm bloggin' Falcon Talk.
Scott: LIBERTARIANS
Yes, yes amusing. But I'm stuck on one point.
I forget that I have my Swiss Army knife in my carry-on and I get sent to Gitmo. But a trained alpha predator with razor sharp talons? That's okay?
DaLemming wrote:Yes, yes amusing. But I'm stuck on one point.

As long as you declare it and stuffed it into a suitcase yourself, sure.

This was one of the best chat room convos EVER!! But I think this mashup would have been more fitting:

Of course, you need proper Falcon Gloves...

I'm dying here...
Falcon ring tone here I come...
I think I'm in <3 with Randall.
This is a fine example of how America has descended to an Orwellian dystopia. If you can't own a falcon, then seriously what's the point?
As the late Mr. Henry would say, Give me pet falcons or give me death!

By Rob Kelly
Laurent Koscielny has made remarkable strides forward over the course of his two-year spell at Arsenal, but he is determined to get even better this season.
Just three years ago, the 26-year-old was playing in Ligue 2 for Tours but since then he has enjoyed a meteoric rise and was included in the France squad for Euro 2012 this summer.
Koscielny is now recognised by many observers as one of the best defenders in Europe, and he admits he has added to his game since arriving at Emirates Stadium.
"I am different because now I know the Premier League - I am more mature and more physical," he told Arsenal Player.
"You know I like to be tactical and technical in my position, but I have worked hard to be fitter and stronger.
"Now I want to continue my progression with this club. I know I played a good season last year, but I want to do more for Arsenal this year. I want to win a trophy."
Watch the full interview with Laurent on Arsenal Player now.

It didn't matter that when 40 college students boarded a bus in Washington, D.C., the temperature was in the teens. It also didn't matter that they had spent the night on blankets and in sleeping bags in cold elementary school classrooms, sans showers, at a parish school that gave them a place to stay.
These University of St. Thomas students were committed to being present at the largest march for the unborn in our country on Jan. 22, the March for Life.
Samantha Garcia, president of UST's Celts for Life club, said members wrote their own signs describing why they were there marching for life. Handwritten signs saying, "I march for all those baby boys and girls who will never know their mother's love" and "Because it is not enough to just say you are pro-life" were some of the messages that joined professionally-printed placards with "Life begins in the womb" and "I am the pro-life generation."
"I really do honestly believe that our generation is responsible for giving the pro-life movement a face," Garcia, a junior engineering major, said. "We are the youth, and we're the ones being targeted. So it's important for us to stand up and say we're the Pro-Life Generation."
St. Thomas brought its largest group ever to Washington
"This year we put the word out, and we had people flocking to us," Garcia said. "We had to turn people away because we couldn't take more. It feels really good that people are wanting to be more involved."
The UST group joined an estimated half a million people who marched along the streets of Washington. They chanted pro-life messages, said rosaries and prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Garcia said in addition to being prayerful, people were happy and laughing with strangers.
"It was really moving, because a lot of people don't realize who is alongside with them in the pro-life movement," she said. "When that many pro-lifers stand and say 'I am pro-life, and I'm with you,' it inspires you to do more when you come home."
At the Students For Life National Conference on Jan. 21, the students met other pro-life leaders and students. They attended the Youth Rally and Mass for Life at the D.C. Armory and a rally on the National Mall with singer Matt Maher before the March.
The March was hopeful and moving
The club's advisor, Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, associate professor and chair of Environmental Science and Studies, said it was a tremendously positive, hopeful and uplifting experience.
"Most of the crowd is young, under 30," Sister Damien Marie said. "I am very proud of our group in the kind of leadership they showed. It was very cold but they were upbeat. They took it as a kind of sacrifice, a small sacrifice they could offer for the unborn."
The March runs from the National Mall, through Constitution Avenue – along the streets where our country's laws are made – and ends at the steps of the Supreme Court Building on Capitol Hill.
The group marches so that those elementary classrooms they slept in won't have one-quarter fewer desks one day.
"It is an important issue for our youth, because they know that a quarter of their generation is being eliminated by abortion," Sister Damien Marie said. "We want to march for those who can't march."
Celts for Life club activities support life
In addition to attending the annual March for Life, the UST Celts for Life club supports crisis pregnancy centers with baby supply drives and volunteer efforts throughout the year. They also volunteer at the Brookwood community for adults with mental disabilities, because "every life has dignity," Garcia said.
On March 23, the group will host a fundraising dinner for next year's trip. Last year's banquet was a lasagna dinner with students as waiters and waitresses, which raised $5,000. The trip cost $13,000 in plane tickets alone.
Garcia said she hopes students will consider attending the March for Life again next year.
"They won't regret it," she said. "It'll probably be one of the best experiences they have all year."
For more information about the Celts for Life or the upcoming fundraising dinner, email Garcia at firstname.lastname@example.com.

After using orzo with our pork marsala the other day I know this works well and I like the idea of cuting up the meat and making it into a pasta sauce.

A pair of early Manhattan (4-8-1, 1-3-1 MAAC) goals was too much to overcome for the Canisius College women's soccer team on Saturday afternoon in Riverdale, N.Y.
The Jaspers scored goals in the eighth and 18th minutes and the Griffs were unable to recover, despite junior midfielder Maria Nelms goal in the 70th minute, ultimately falling 2-1.
The Jaspers jumped out to the early lead when Aislinn McIlvenny sent a cross to the far post, which was finished by Kaelyn Angelo. Manhattan found the back of the net again in the 18th minute off a set piece. Sam Washuk took a corner kick, which was headed in by Shannon Barry for the eventual game winner.
Canisius got one back in the 70th minute when Nelms fired a shot from 25 yards out that found the upper right corner. The goal was Nelms' first of the season.
The Griffs managed to outshoot the Jaspers 14-13, and held the advantage in corner kicks 8-4, but couldn't manage to tally the equalizer. Senior goalkeeper Megan Tock finished the contest with five saves.
The Griffs will now return home to play four of their final five contests at the Demske Sports Complex. First will be Marist on Wednesday, with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m.

|ABS is really heavy and hard to work with compared to PVC foamboard. Once you get the 1/4" luan plywood installed, you make the PVC foamboard 5 or 6" less all the way around the perimeter. Stitch around the perimeter of the PVC, glue the whole assembly to the plywood, and then you can finish the edges off just like a regular headliner. If you need to make some panels for the sail area, so be it. Look at this thread, you may get some ideas: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/cust...up-214724.html
|Dan thank you for your reply. I have metal braces to attach to,the thing i cant figure out is how to make the compound curves in all 4 corners down to where the fabric or learher attaches ? maybe fiberglass or hard foam board ? Both sides and front and rear should have a smooth curve down to winshield and top of doors. I have a large sheet of 1/8 " ABS I might try to form it in, what do you think ?
|The base is made from 1/4" luan plywood. You just need to have something solid to attach it to. If there are metal roof braces to screw it to, you are good to go. If not, you need to fabricate braces that run from side to side. The braces are made from 3/4" hardwood plywood, should have a slight curve to them to match the roof line, and do not touch the metal of the roof. You can attach the braces at the ends with some of the new epoxies, or I have used metal "T" straps with the "T" part screwed to the areas above the doors. I then make a grid by running more braces front to back. If you do this right, you can hang from the grid. You use hardwood plywood to prevent warping. I then use 1/8" PVC foamboard to glue whatever fabric, padding, and design that is needed.
My project is a 57 chevy sedan delivery {my Hotrod}. I have spent years working on other customers projects and finally now my own. The frame ,running gear,motor, exhaust are complete. The body is on my rotisserie for complete restomod but i am contemplating the interior and thinking about making a one piece headliner, could someone help on how to make the headliner foundation? I guess im to oldschool for the large high tech headliner I am new here, will post pictures later. I think now is the time to do it , because i can work on it with it upside down.

This was too good not to share. Picked this up yesterday, I don't think I have been more excited about an RC car than this...
Brand new in box Kyosho Turbo Ultima. It was opened and the trans was put on the chassis, and then it was put away and never touched again until I opened the box. Originally purchased on June 29th 1988, it came with a radio, two batteries (all BNIB), carrying bag, and even AA batteries from 1988! The tires are even in mint shape, the wheels haven't even been taken out of the bag!
Click this link for all pics:
Still unsure if I want to 'finish' putting it together or leave it as is. Thoughts?

I have a Sony Cybershot camera (DSC-W150) that has two or three particles of dust (?) sticked to the interior of the lens. I have tried using a vacuum, blow it and now I started thinking in disassemble the camera and try to take the lens apart.
I would like to know if anyone has ever had this type of problem before. Or, if there is a better solution to remove these particles. Otherwise I guess i will have disassemble the camera and try to remove the lens.
Note: the warranty has expired already.
I hope you can help me.

Now I'll preface this by saying I haven't lived in the Bay Area since '01, so these are spots I know about (and they're still there, I visited in March):
Needles and Pens is a great zines/craft store in the Mission:
3253 16th Street (btwn Guerrero & Dolores) (415) 255-1534 | OPEN DAILY 12pm-7pm
Bound Together Books, old school anarchist bookstore in the Upper Haight:
1369 Haight St (415) 431-8355 Open Daily 11:30am-7pm
Modern Times, another great bookstore in the Mission:
888 Valencia St (415) 282-9246
City Lights in North Beach. Okay, I haven't been in there in years, so I don't know what their zine selection is like. But it is steeped in SF history, a place where Jack Keroauc hung out and all.
261 Columbus Ave (415) 362-8193
If you make it across the Bay, the Long Haul in Berkeley is a great old info-shop. They're located near the Ashby BART station.
3124 Shattuck Ave Berkeley, CA 94705 (510) 540-0751
You're welcome. But who's a "little lady?"

Arsenal take on Norwich City in the Premier League at Carrow Road on Saturday.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
In this week's edition, we focus on the goalkeepers - Vito Mannone and John Ruddy.
PLAYER COMPARISON - MANNONE v RUDDY
Both of Saturday's goalkeepers are on an upwards trajectory at the moment. Vito Mannone is enjoying a steady run in the Arsenal first team and John Ruddy has continued to show good form after receiving a first England cap in August.
Norwich have the top flight's second-leakiest defence, and Ruddy's save percentage suffers accordingly. In fact, only three Premier League keepers have made more saves than the Canaries' shot stopper this season.
Only two have been called upon to save fewer times than Mannone, although he has played two games less. Ruddy's save percentage is the seventh lowest in the league which, added to the previous statistic, suggests that he is left exposed too often. Mannone's is the seventh highest, if we discount Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris' flawless record after just one game.
The goalkeepers' distribution figures are telling with Ruddy making 128 passes in total but just 19 of those to players in his own half. In stark contrast, Mannone has gone short with 31 of his 66 passes.
Ruddy is clearly under instruction to release the ball further and earlier, looking for Grant Holt or Steve Morison to win headers deep inside the opposition half. Balls out to centre backs or full backs are few - in this match last season (see first chalkboard below), Ruddy only made two short deliveries, both to right-back Kyle Naughton.
That pattern may change slightly this year, Javier Garrido being a technically-accomplished left back who is happy to carry and distribute from deep, but Norwich have made the fourth fewest passes of the Premier League teams and 1,594 fewer than Arsenal - so the principle remains the same.
As Mannone's figures against West Ham (see second chalkboard below) show, Arsenal aren't averse to longer distribution too - especially with Olivier Giroud so prominent a figure in attack.
Seven of Mannone's 18 attempted passes are to players in his own half, though, and he shows a willingness to play from the back even against a combative and energetic home side.
Neither side is likely to change tack on Saturday. Arsenal will tend to play patiently forward from Mannone, while Norwich attempt to force a longer pass. The home side will, generally, look to play off the talismanic Holt - and Ruddy will have an important role in this.
Whatever the outcome, it's likely that these two young, impressive keepers will have a big impact on the spectacle we see on Saturday evening.
- There has been a total of 25 goals scored in the last five Premier League meetings between Norwich and Arsenal
- Steve Morison scored in both games against the Gunners last season
- Arsenal have won five and lost none of their last 11 games against Norwich in all competitions
- Norwich have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games (W1 D4 L7)
- Arsenal have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League away games (W7 D4 L1)
- The Canaries have conceded the most goals from outside the box this season (5)
- Santi Cazorla has scored more goals from outside the box than any other player in the top five European leagues since August 2011 (9)
- Norwich have averaged 15 attempts for every goal they has scored this season (excluding blocked shots), the least efficient conversion rate in the top flight
- Chris Hughton's side have allowed their opponents the joint-most shots on target against them of Premier League teams this season (41)

Much has been written about the US Government Central Intelligence Agency's award of its private cloud business to Amazon Web Services and the subsequent protest and government ruling on this award, but much of the coverage leaves out a few pertinent and key facts. Let's look at the key questions being debated about this proposed contract:
Q: Is this a private cloud? AWS said it doesn't believe in private clouds.
A: Yes, despite AWS' protests to the contrary, this is a private cloud. According to the documents that have thus far been made public from this proposal, the CIA is looking for a cloud service (an Infrastructure as a Service) offered on a dedicated set of resources isolated to a specific customer and deployed on CIA-owned resources from within a government owned and operated facility.
Q: Would this be AWS' first private cloud?
A: Yes and no. Yes, it would be the first implementation of the AWS services atop a customer-owned infrastructure and facility asset base. But no, it would not be the first time AWS has delivered an isolated environment offering its services. AWS's GovCloud is also a private cloud for the greater US Government. FedCloud is operated from an AWS-owned facility on AWS owned assets.
Q: Is this a community cloud? What's the difference between that and a private cloud?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Since I am in the same boat - I found a decent online resource. Racing Basics thought it might be of some interest as it relates to the thread - while targetted at having crew, diagrams etc come in handy...
This was a great thread for me! My hubby and I are planning on trying our spin this season. Last weekend in 0 wind we practiced in our slip setting everything up. We have a 'sock'?...so the spin stays compact until you run up the 'sock'. We had a bit of trouble getting set up and both agreed we were glad we were at the slip and tied up.
It was a good practice run. This boat has more 'stuff' than our last sailboat and we've been slowly working up to this. We have found some club members who've set them on their own boats and they are willing to go out with us. Yippee!
Thanks for all the great info!
|The best, easiest, fastest, cheapest, most fun way of learning to fly a chute is to volunteer as crew for a decent race boat.
Call me a fraidy cat, but it is MHO that nobody who, by their own admission, is "pretty clueless about the actual sailing part," should be hoisting a spinnaker on their own for the first time.
The Admiral and I each had some sailing experience before we bought our new-to-us Pearson P30 last season. (She on a 7m wood dinghy. Me as crew on a Pearson P28, many years ago.) We both took ASA 101 and 103 courses before buying the boat. We've had about a half season on her. I'm very anxious to fly the kites that came with the boat. We're not going to do it yet, because we're still "becoming one" with the whole sailing thing. When we feel we are ready to give it a go, we'll tap one of our fellow club members to go out with us and show us how it's done.
I'm not afraid of the spinnaker, but I do respect its increased demands.
I think the OP has a case of nerves much as a divorce court judge might be gunshy.
There will always be a first time, but there is no reason in good conditions that it can't go well, particularly if you have some dry runs and mental rehearsals and the other crew equally understand their roles.
If it is a symmetrical spinnaker noone seems to have mentioned the importance of bag packing so each of the corners are marked and ready at the top. It requires some space to pack and starting at one end the luff and leech are bought together and tied every 2-3 ft with wool.Then you stuff the bag from the middle. This makes it easier to raise as it only fills when you pull on the sheet. Make sure you lead it outside the forestay.
The assymmetrical is easier in that the clew attaches near the forestay and you can deal with it as an oversized genoa except you can also let out some halyard to get some fullness on the luff.
Closer to dead down wind I found poling it out helpful, but you may find sailing say 20-30 degrees of DDW is easier, faster and more than makes up for any extra distance.
It is good fun and not too difficult, but first I suggest that you and all the crew build your confidence and competence in doing all the other basics so that you are not adding to pre-existing anxiety.

WYC Spinnaker Manual
Hertford - just read your thread for the first time, and I am in a somewhat similar situation to you. I bought my first boat in December and flew my spinnaker for the first time last Sunday.
I won't go rehashing all the old advice you received. Instead, I'll explain the procedure I used to get myself and my crew ready for the spinnaker.
First, I took careful account of what equipment I had, and made sure I was comfortable with all the non-spinnaker equipment before even touching the chute. The boat is a Catalina 27, and came with two symmetrical spinnakers (a 1.5 oz and a 0.75 oz) and a pole.
Second, like you, I did a lot of reading. The best guide I have found on the web is by Marlan Crosier of the Washington Yacht Club (google search will find it). I also read through some ancient sailing reference books that the PO left on the boat (he was a racer). Also watched some videos on spinnaker hoisting/jibing/dousing, for all types (right out of the bag, with a sock, even asymmetrical) as well as videos of people broaching-to.
Third, I familiarized myself with operating the pole by using it to pole my jib out to windward, and practiced sailing wing-on-wing like that. Made sure I could jibe the pole (using the end-for-end method) comfortably.
Fourth, I did a "dry run" with the spinnaker: put it in its turtle out on the bowsprit, rigged the pole, sheet, guy, and halyard, checked everything over, and then derigged all of it.
Fifth, I made sure my wife was very comfortable at the helm so that I could concentrate on everything else.
Then I did all the above things again. Every time we went through any of these steps, we talked about what was going on, and talked about what would be different with a spinnaker. Then I went out as often as possible and waited for the perfect conditions. This Sunday was excellent - we had around five knots of wind, so I went with the 0.75 oz chute, which didn't have any trouble filling. The most important thing, once I knew what was going to happen, was to communicate with my wife (only crew) to make sure she knew it as well, and was comfortable with what her role would be. She was assigned to mainsheet and helm, and was also responsible for hauling the spinnaker sheet during the hoist. Other than that, patience was our third crew member - if we didn't try to rush and do a million things at once, I was able to handle the foredeck tasks as well as trimming (but note: I have all halyards and pole control lines running aft to the cockpit).
Everything went off without a hitch. We did not attempt a jibe, but only because it was getting late. Only distraction was the dolphins who chose the exact moment of the hoist to start playing in our sad excuse for a wake. This weekend we will practice again.
So, to summarize:
1) Get to know your boat.
2) Communicate with your crew.
3) Practice as much as you can without the actual hoist.
4) Be patient and keep it simple.
Hope your first attempt went well, looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

Obviously you're missing a clew too.
|Difficulty is relative... the first time doing something like flying a symmetric spinnaker with absolutely no first-hand spinnaker experience at all is going to be a gold-plated bear compared to someone flying it for the first time on his own, after having seen it done and helped work on previously.

Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM vs. Canon EF 24mm f/2.8: A side-by-side comparisonBy Janice Chen - Wednesday January 09 2013 Lens Review
After almost 25 years, Canon has updated one of its oldest prime lenses with the new Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM. Adding optical image stabilization and a ring-type ultrasonic autofocus motor, the new fixed, wide-angle lens is an update to the Canon 24mm f/2.8 wide-angle prime originally released in November of 1988.
Touted by Canon as the world's first wide-angle prime lens with IS, which delivers up to four stops of correction, the new EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is geared for landscape and architectural shooting, photo reportage, and travel photography. The silent high-speed AF motor makes it well-suited for shooting video as well. The lens' redesigned optics include aspherical lens elements to correct aberration and improve peripheral image quality.
While the EF 24mm f/2.8 (now discontinued) has held its own since 1988, the improved optics and IS mean that the new lens should be able to perform better than its predecessor in low-light settings. We put the two lenses to the test side-by-side to find out what the true performance differences are.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
All members performed under aliases, the names of which illustrated the band's dark humor; the main group consisted of Oderus Urungus (vocals, born Dave Brockie), Balsac the Jaws of Death (guitar, born Steve Douglas), Flattus Maximus (guitar, born Peter Lee), Beefcake the Mighty (bass, born Michael Bishop), and Jizmak the Gusher (drums, born Brad Roberts). Meanwhile, auxiliary characters included Techno-Destructo (occasional vocals, born Hunter Jackson), Slymenstra Hymen (born Danyelle Stampe), the Sexecutioner (born Charles Varga), and Sleazy P. Martini (manager, born Don Drakulich).
The group quickly established a unique identity as the members performed in bizarre costumes made of latex and papier-mâché, while the stage show itself featured fake pagan rituals, corpses spewing washable bodily fluids on the audience, and sometimes a mechanical giant maggot. Not surprisingly, authorities in several locations didn't take kindly to GWAR -- Charlotte, NC, fined Urungus on an obscenity charge and banned the group for a year, while police in Athens, GA, shut down a concert in 1993. With the help of the ACLU, however, GWAR sued and settled out of court, donating the resulting award money to charity. GWAR are perhaps best appreciated for their visual aspects, which have historically been far more creative than the actual music; indeed, the group received a somewhat stunning Grammy nomination in 1993 for its long-form home video Phallus in Wonderland.
GWAR have survived numerous personnel changes over the years, a potential problem that has been mitigated by the fact that the band's "characters" never change, only the musicians playing them. Despite a decline in media attention, GWAR have also proven to be a consistent live act and continue to record a new album with each new stage act. Unlike most career bands, however, GWAR have released almost as many full-length videos as they have albums. Along with the previously mentioned Phallus in Wonderland, the group assaulted the eyes with Skulhed Face (1994), Rendezvous with Ragnarok (1997), Dawn of the Day of the Night of the Penguin (1998), It's Sleazy (2001), and a slew of subsequent films.
Musically, GWAR's early gem Scumdogs of the Universe (1990) is considered to be one of the band's most entertaining works. Subsequent albums, including This Toilet Earth (1993) and We Kill Everything (1999), have repeated many of the shock themes that gained GWAR notoriety early on. After a few GWAR-less years, the band returned in 2004 on a new label, DRT Entertainment, with a new album, War Party. The concert recording Live from Mt. Fuji (which, despite its name, was taken from a performance in Pittsburgh, PA) was released the following year, and the band returned to the studio in 2006 for Beyond Hell, a rock opera/concept record about the band's journey into Hell. In 2009, after celebrating their 25th year and re-signing to Metal Blade, GWAR took a similar conceptual approach, and left Earth's surface again to battle their enemy Cardinal Sin in space, on Lust in Space. In 2014, however, Dave Brockie died at the age of 50. ~ Steve Huey

•salt and pepper to taste
•2 beaten eggs
•1 1/2 cups milk
•1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom or ceam of chicken soup
•1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
This is a good way to fix leftover turkey. It can also be made with chicken. Cube 3 slices of the bread, and put in a greased 8x8x2 inch baking dish. Combine turkey, vegetables, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Spoon over the bread cubes. Trim crust from the rest of bread and lay slices on top. Combine eggs and milk and pour over all.
Chill at least one hour in refrigerator - it can be made up to this point the day before. Spoon soup over top and bake at 325° for 1 hour. Sprinkle shredded cheese over top, the last 10 minutes of baking. This recipe can be doubled.

I am offering a limited run of 6 sets of customizable horsehair Wookie Braids. They are hafted together as well as have the ends wrapped with artificial sinew. A set of 3 includes: 1 black, 1 white/blond & one brown. Each braid is ~40-42in in length. Please let me know the circumference that you would like for the looped braids or if you would prefer to have them not hafted together. Turn around time is 1 to 2 weeks, depending on my schedule. If you need them in a quicker timeframe please contact me first to be sure I can accommodate your request. If you have any questions please email me at gaslaveleia (at) gmail (dot)com. Please do not send me a PM, I may not see it for quite some time.
Cost: $30 for an un-looped set or $35 for a looped set including shipping to the US. International orders please contact me for a shipping quote. I ship Monday through Friday Fedex. Pricing is the same for the MOM set as well, unless you want the extra braids that are hanging down from the smaller black & white braid. Cost for the extra braids will depend on sizing & quantity.

Please click on the link below the picture to go to a detailed gallery of the braids. If you would like a close-up of a particular braid or part of a braid please let me know.
Wookie Braid Gallery
Customizing: I like to post progress pics so you can see what you'll be getting & it also gives you the opportunity to let me know if you want me to make any changes before they are shipped out.
MOM Braids: Question from the old thread in the Cargo Hold:
Quote: "Is it possible to braid the rubber bands as seen on the MoM braids?"
From looking at close ups of the reference pics, I believe that's a flat form of sinew and not rubber bands, however I'm not 100% sure on that. I can put 2 Turks head knots on there for you. There are pictures of the Turks head knot located at the end of the braid gallery.
Depending on how exact you want to be, I can tell from close ups of the reference pics that the white (blond) braid & the brown braid are synthetic hair wrapped in a black cord & not sinew.
Synthetic Hair vs. Horsehair: Either will last you a long time providing you care for them properly. If you don't either can dry rot, mold or mildew. I have been working with horsehair since 1998 and can vouch for its durability.
Care: If the braids become dirty simply hand wash them with a mild shampoo such as Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo. If you notice they are looking &/or feeling dry and dull, use a leave in conditioner like Infusium 23 which can be found at Wal-Mart or Sally's Beauty Supply.
