You know, Old School could refer to a Conan-esque theme. That would make the Land of the Linnorm Kings camp happy.
Or, Old School could refer to a more Tolkien epic Good vs. Evil theme - which could be far reaching across much of the Inner Sea region - bringing together many races to stand against an army of Zon-Kuthon. So Nidal building armies and making an alliance with Belkzen to cause chaos and destruction.
Or it could be Dragons, good and evil, much akin to a Dragonlance theme.
I think I could enjoy any such "Old School" AP's.
But one day, now that there are occult classes Jalmeray and Vudra would be just as fun as an end to end Tien-Xia.

Isn't that the Harrower, or even some of the Harrow archetypes?
Actually, a Harrow Bard would be nice, as that always seemed the 2nd most logical choice. Witch being the first, and there is a Harrow archetype for that class.

I'd like to see more smart divine caster archetypes - something good but still with a decent number of skill points, maybe even Int-based spellcasting.
Something like the RL cloistered monks? A Divine Scholar, of sorts.
Could be fun to have an Illuminator Wordcasting Cleric along those lines. Not core, I know, but I would have fun with something like that.
The rest of y'all don't matter. ;)

As long as I don't have to read "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the original Klingon, I'll be fine.
Seriously, though, I am surprised by those who do come to the table without reading Yates or Aurthurian Legends, or Beowolf, or having exposure to some element of these classics. Well, OK, Beowolf is hard, I will allow watching "The 13th Warrior" instead.
I like the idea of an Aquatic Adventures AP, go to Azlant, maybe even find the truth if what happened to Aroden.
Maybe Aquatic Adventures for sea-faring folk, merfolk, gillmen, undines, etc? Besmara might like it!
I do think, however, Planar Adventures is more likely. Suli are one of my favorite races flavor-wise, but they desperately need some lovin' along with kineticists.
I think I would utterly enjoy a First World AP/Adventures book, too. Who exactly are the Eldest? What are their roles in the grand scheme of things? Who serves them? What factions are there? What boons do you get if you worship the Eldest? If you were kidnapped and raised by fey as a child, what was your life like in the First World? Does Baba Yaga ever not have warts on her face?
Though, I admit to chomping at the bit for Strange Aeons - Cthulhu, Pathfinder Style.
Lastly, Steampunk? I just don't see it fitting in Golarion as it is now, but Victorian Adventures as a skip ahead in time could be intriguing.
Oooo. Ok, never really fine a pbp on the boards before, but I am interested. Yes, I know this ends soon. I will work on a character on Sunday (since this is the last day my brother in law is in town).
Thinking Paladin/Bard, or Ranger/Magus for the magic arrows. Or swashbuckler/divine of Cayden Calien.
Or heck, Paladin/Sorcerer. Beware my Charisma!
Okay... now that I'm feeling somewhat human ....
Name: Kimizu
Magic Word:
Grand Voyage
Kimizu has a secret name: Yáo Wukong. The Monkey's Pearl.
Kimizu has a secret. Kimizu's father is Sun Wukong, the Stone Monkey King! At least, that is what Kimizu's mother told her. She told her, too, that her real name is Yáo Wukong, but no one in the village would accept that, so Kimizu is Kimizu to the village. The village doesn't like Kimizu's father. After all, what sort of responsible man waltzes into a village, marries a young doe-eyed Vanaran Girl, gets her pregnant then leaves two days after the baby was born? To the village, Kimi's father is a no-good lout, and they see him only with scorn.
That's fine to Kimizu. She didn't want to tell them about his secret anyway. Kimi's mother, well, they see her as delusional. After she refused to remarry, even when it was obvious 'that one' wasn't coming back, she was still in love with him and rebuffed any wisdom the elders had to offer. So Kimi's mother, she is delusional and insane. Kimi doesn't like that, but her mother told her it was for the best.
But that left Kimi to be raised by EVERYONE in the village. Vanaran children are known to be a bit ... curious. After all, when you have little ones that can climb before they can even walk, who wouldn't be curious! Kimizu was just like the others in that way - full of bright innocent smiles, and wide-eyed curiosity. It wasn't that she was a trouble maker, it was just that trouble found her - constantly. The village tried everything, and Kimizu liked everything. That, perhaps, was the problem. Kimizu liked trying everything for a bit, but settled into nothing.
Though, Kimizu did find out she had a knack for the quarterstaff when she started training with the village guard. That was fun. And despite their best efforts, she just would not be trained in traditional fighting styles. But that seemed to be as much a boon to her, as a distraction to her opponents. Thus, a compromise was formed.
When Kimizu was old enough to be considered an adult, she started packing. She borrowed her favorite things from the entire village, and no one seemed to notice that they were missing. At least not before Kimizu left.
Just before she left, her mother pulled Kimizu aside. She gave the young girl a stone monkey symbol. Kimi's mother insisted that her father left it for her when he left. Kimi's eyes filled with wonder, and the monkey smiled back at her. Putting on her brightest smile, Kimmizu hugged her mother, then slipped out of the village in the darkness.
After all, she didn't want to be around when Red-Furred Ginjou realized she had taken her most favorite, and his best, shirt!
Since then, Kimizu has been wandering, finding adventure and FUN! where she could. Oh, and spreading the word of Sun Wukong - never mentioning that She, Kimizu, was the Monkey King's daughter. People would think she was lying - and she wasn't about to lie about something /THAT/ important ... or that true.
Kimizu once saved a Vanara village from stampeding, well, bouncing, leech swarms. Those were nasty. She even managed to hold off the invasion of a tree-top community from termites of unusually large size. She even, in a more serious note, helped put some wandering, vengeful ghosts to rest. Those human ghosts were pesky things. Oh, and there was this incident with a Demon... or was that a Daemon .. maybe it was a devil. It wanted to kill a lot of innocent people and that just didn't seem like something fun at the time - so Kimizu helped stop him - her - it. Not that anyone from her home village believed her. But that didn't matter to Kimizu. She knew what she had done.
And so did her father.

Tzofia is a soul searching for meaning. Irrepressible from the moment she was born, Tzofia has always felt the lack of something in her life, and has been searching for it constantly. Coupled with her knack to find herself in the middle of a bad situation without realizing it, Tzofia has cultivated a persona of inane and unstoppable perkiness. Add in a little naive air, and Tzofia has a tendency to be the 'little sister' of any group she ingratiates herself into.
She is not as innocent as she portrays herself, however. She lost her parents young, and was raised by travelling from aunt to uncle to aunt to second cousin, and so forth, in various Varisian travelling groups. Tzofia has not really known any true stability in her life. When she came of age - well, she SAID she was age, as no one really remembered, aside from Tzofia, how old she truly was, the young woman wandered the world on her own. When she found herself on the wrong side of the wardstones in the World Wound - a stranger saved her until help arrived.
Since that time, Tzofia has been searching for that strange woman - Tzofia immediately felt a bond, though Tzofia could not tell how or why. Perhaps Tzofia's is an old soul looking for redemption in a younger body. Perhaps there is something lingering in Tzofia that not even Tzofia knows about, which has set her on this course.
Tzofia is a skilled liar, and will spin tells about a happy home before coming to the worldwound. There has only been one person that Tzofia confided the truth to, besides the mysterious stranger who saved her life. He was a half-elven friend she made and became completely smitten with. When he started down the path of evil, Tzofia followed, before pulling herself back, having had dreams of where it would lead. In the end, Serani mocked her, and stabbed her in the chest, leaving her to die as he wandered towards the worldwound to join with the monsters of the Abyss. Tzofia still has the scar, both emotionally and physically, from that encounter, though she tells none about it.
Tzofia, instead, throws herself forward, carelessly, hoping to find Serani and either convince him to return or to end him, before he can hurt anyone else.
But she intends to do it with a smile, making certain her companions are none the wiser for her motives.
The Truth:
Tzofia is a child full of doubt and confusion.
Tzofia's past life is partially a lie. Something she cannot even conffess to herself.
Beaten and berated and used by her father, something that he and his wife were exiled from the Varisians for, Tzofia was passed from one family to another because she was constantly lashing out, out of control, and a spirit of evil in the community.
When no one could save her, she was given provisions, and a map, and sent on her way. Her father, and passive mother, are still out there, somewhere - something Tzofia unconsciously flees from.
Serani was indeed someone she fell in love with. Someone she loved selfishly. He was the head of a local gang of street urchins when Tzofia came upon him, and Tzofia saw potential in him. So she started pushing him to become more powerful and more ruthless - more like the father she had been raised by. Tzofia, Serani and their little gang of thugs came across a ring one day - a ring that was sent into the city to be given to an influential member of society, a ring in which a demon waited to possess the wearer. Tzofia lifted it, but Serani somehow heard the demon calling him. He stabbed her to take the ring, willingly opening himself up to the demon inside, and left Tzofia for dead.
Tzofia, for some reason, could not handle the truth of that day and has rewritten her entire past, thus why her lies are so believable - she believes them.
Something in the eyes of the stranger who rescued her rang of the truth, striking a chord in the good which still resides in Tzofia, and concocted the lies of her past. That good portion of Tzofia wants to reconcile the past with Tzofia's present, and keep her firmly on the path of good. Perhaps there is even some being watching over this young child, fighting for her soul.
The Crusade:
The Crusade ... is. It's a fact of life here.
Okay, maybe it's a bad thing. Demons running around killing and seducing people, trying to take over the world. It's better to fight them and die free, then live as slaves to those monsters.
Tzofia is looking for a purpose. And having gained everything, and lost everything again in Kenebras, is the best thing she has to a home now. After all, her own people didn't want her, because of her own father. And he is SO not going to be looking in a city fighting innumerable hordes of Demons for her!
So she might as well fight as best she can to protect this place!
Party Interaction:
Tzofia doesn't know how to trust. After all, she was raised by an abusive father, kicked out of her caravan, betrayed by the man she thought she loved. Trust just isn't in her vocabulary.
However, Tzofia IS looking for a place to 'fit in'. She may have come across the party already in town, seen the way they acted with one another in a lighter moment and been drawn to that sense of friendship and kinship.
That is what Tzofia really wants. A sense of belonging. So perhaps she followed the party, has been watching them, and is waiting for the opportunity to join and 'fit in'.
As I see it, Tzofia is going to be a 'little sister' character to one, if not all, of the party. Her antics at first will be annoying and distracting, but there is immense potential for growth in this young woman desperate for that love and adoration most people gain from their families and friends. Awkward and trying too hard at first, Tzofia will settle down.
After all, she will NEED the support of friends when the mental break is discovered and the truth comes out, if she is to stay on the path of the righteous.
Well, there goes my career of being a Booth Babe.
Okay, kidding aside, having owned a Friendly Neighborhood Game Store, we, admittedly, hired a couple of girls, because it would help sales.
NOOOOOWWW... we also hired them based on qualifications. One was a walking encyclopedia of comic books, and the other ... while not into comics when we opened the store, being a MtG player mostly, now runs a Graphic Novel Book Club on Facebook.
The guys we hired (it was 2:2 for those keeping track) were well dressed, well mannered, and also very knowledgeable about the products we were selling. While the guys were more keen to 'teach' games like Pokemon, MtG, etc, the girls were more into teaching the board games (and Pirates! We had a good following for that game at our store.)
So, does that even out the exploitation odds?
@agirlnamedbob - We'll forgive you for the disappearance ... this once. *ominous music*
As for the d20 Girls ... yeah, I'm not sure what to make of them. A) the whole modeling agency thing is ... odd to me. B) And the waste of potential is just a cryin' shame!
@Jessica Price - we're starting to get things organized, you want in right now? I'd be happy to send an invite. (At least I think we're getting organized....)
@Garret - While not for me, I really appreciate the posting of the add!
Writing Group Update:
We have a decent core of women that are working out how best to utilize Google Groups, InvisionFree BBoards (we could sure use someone better at CSS than I am ... as I am learning as I go!) and Social Media.
Again, I urge anyone interested in this to PM me - that includes you guys, as we do need different perspectives.
@agirlnamedbob - OOOOO! I will have to check this out! Same end-goal, likely, after all!
Most of what I have seen has been gender-neutral in my opinion. Even make-up can be gender neutral. Look at Osirion, if we go with the general ancient egypt feel, men and women alike wore kohl around the eyes, etc
Perfumes were often used by men and women in the baroque and renissance periods.
And hair ties? How many male NPCs and PCs out there have long hair?
I think, all around, the submissions were excellent in this regard. Even my horribly dull item was gender neutral. And I can't RP a man to save my life - I've tried, he was a very cynical and gruff personality. Very 1 dimensional.
So kudos to all for that!
Also, excuse my spelling today.
Honestly, so does my Google+ account.
I was thinking maybe Blogger + one of the social sites. If it works out, I'll 'encourage' my husband to start up a bboard on one of the home servers he has plenty of.
Gathering names now, on the train to meet my husband and a friend who is in town for dinner. I might just have enough time to send out some PMs!
@Duskrunner1 - Hey, I know my item made it past the cull ... and still it hasn't been mentioned. You're doing better than I am! ;)
And actually, the more I reflect on my item ... it was way bland. I thought about something after voting started that may have made it mediocre, so there! I'm improving already! ;)

I suppose I will have to clarify why I started this.
I wanted to find out where the women who entered RPGSS landed in the standings. Oh, sure, there aren't any in the TOP 32, it's likely not the first, and likely won't be the last, given the stats that SKR gave us earlier in the thread.
It was also started as a way to draw women who entered, and those who didn't but are readying these forums, together in conversation about our designs, what we think we could have done better, what was liked or disliked in general by the judges and the voting populace, and as a ... well ... as a support group.
Since it was suggested, I am heavily looking into starting a Blog and Google Plus hangout/group to start weekly design exercises - be it a wondrous item, an organization, archetype, monster, or just simply an NPC. A place for us to get together as hobbyists in the minority of gender, to improve our skills, get ideas for our own games, or just to have fun.
I certainly don't have the expertise to do anything other than a Book Club-ish sort of gathering - nor would I want to do anything that would impede upon RPGSS' turf. RPGSS is GREAT! Why not have 'practice exams' before next year's RPGSS.
And who knows, it may never get off the ground!
I am a woman. I know I am in the minority. There are times in which I feel out of place in games - and I want to change that. If I can change that for myself, and other women at the same time, well, that's just icing on the proverbial cake to me.
Repeating the top of this post
It's been great to read - I'm not much of one to really jump in online, typically because I am chasing kids, etc. I'm glad it has sparked discussion and debate. And now I've been eyeing Google Plus, which I haven't for a while, trying to figure out how to start a group for mutual game design improvement!
I needed to do something like this years ago!
This, frankly, was my favorite item that I saw in voting. And like Clark said, when I saw the title, I nearly voted it down immediately - because it was a map item.
After reading the description, that is where I truly became impressed. The abilities, for one, were creative, slightly quirky, and interesting. But the fact that the description was succinct, interesting, and yet not over the word limit, considering what the item does.
And as others have said, the fact that the description gave me pause, and overcame my own prejudices at the title itself, that is what made this item Superstar, in my opinion.

I think this might be a good away to show the differences between typical/stereotypical male hobbyists, and female hobbyists.
A lot of good GMs go through, utilizing Rule 0, and tweak things to keep the game entertaining and running smoothly. But look at the way they do it. I am going to propose that women will look to a more artistic approach, while men will weave their answers with a more mechanical flair.
Neither is wrong in their approach, it is just different. And I think the men just beat us girls out on shining. I'm sure in the past that something more artistic, rather than mechanically correct, shined over those that were mechanically perfect. ;)
We just need to step up hit a few home runs next year!
So... we have a year now to work on our skills. We should set up a group where weekly, or bi-weekly, we women come up with some parameters/guidelines to test our skills. Then critique one another.
Hmmm, I REALLY like this idea. Would requesting a sub-board for such a thing be out of line?
I'm a bit slow, but I'm finally 'not busy' enough to make comments.

To be honest, most Sci-Fi (in particular) and Fantasy fiction have some form of propoganda or another - in fact, most literature does, because it comes from a single person, with their own point of view and perceptions.
Ender's Game: You have the subject of Birth Limitation brought up, Ender being a 3rd child, after all. The politics of bureaucracy and the fear of bureaucrats and what will happen when a war hero returns home, this sentencing Ender to Exile. The perils of an anti-religion society, balanced against religious extremism. (India and the Caliphate are the ones that were the aggressors in the name of Deities)
Pern: Pro-same sex relations and tolerance. With slight anti-organized religion undertones.
The list goes on.
If someone has an opinion, then it will get worked into their literature. And you're not going to get away from it. The thing about Propaganda, is it only annoys you, if you disagree with it.
NOW! moving back to the topic at hand -
And this... RPGSS is a GREAT forum for me to get things objectively reviewed and critiqued so I can GET BETTER!
And to be honest, I think the Archetype I wrote up was much better than my Wondrous Item. Which means, I'm getting better with each step.
Any way for us non-Top 32-ers to get archetypes reviewed? Or would that just bombard the boards too much?
Thanks for listening to my rant!
Out of curiosity - since there aren't any women in the Top 32 or even the alternates - can we females (or maybe just THIS female, I suppose)find out where abouts the top 5 women, or so, would have been had the contest gone beyond 32?
Oh, heck, is that even POSSIBLE (with great difficulty, likely)?
After all, we now need to work even HARDER to smack you boys around some in our design efforts. ;)

Then I can start on the round 3 that scares me most of all - even with over 25 years of playing and gm'ing, I have yet to create my own monster - other than the 19 and 22 year old ones, but they don't count :)
Oh, they count, just not here. You've had, and still are having to, pay for them, after all.
And I completely agree on the Round 3 fears. I don't know why, but building a monster ... *shudder*
Cauldron of Everlasting Rations
This cauldron, typically decorated with engravings of shrubbery and plant parasites, can be used to create Everlasting Rations - a dense cake-like substance with various dried fruits and nuts, which can last up to six months before rotting.
Because of the density of the cake, however, and the amalgam of ingredients, the cake is often so dense it is brick-like, and the taste is overwhelming and often difficult to eat.
Any creature using this cauldron can create enough rations for 6 small to medium creatures a day. If the user of the cauldron has 5 or more ranks of Profession: Cook, then the rations have a somewhat palatable taste.
Actually, this sort of release is akin to the Story Boarding of Movies, especially animated movies.
I would refer to this as the Story Board Release. After all, this is where the story of the sandbox begins to unfold, is it not? It is a period where a rough outline is sketched out, and then we, as players, flesh it out into a finer piece of artwork.
Thus: Story Board Release.
Heck, you could even have the artists release Concept Art as the game is developed in this specific release so as to emphasize the Story Board theme of the release. Give players involved in the release first look at the images, especially ones that are based on their own work, and listen to the player base giggle with glee at such a thing.

I think I managed to get it all ironed out shortly after Gary left today, but Gen Con next week means that internal testing probably won't progress much until the week after next.
Pshaw! That's what laptops are for, isn't it?
I think we all understand that in the Gaming Industry, everything stops for GenCon.
Sheesh, I really want to go back, but ... in a car, for two to three days, with 1 teenager, 1 pre-teen and another near pre-teen fills me with dread.
Y'all have fun out there in the humidity! (Though, this year there may not be much...)
Well, I'll toss my hat in the 'Really Wants to See This Pile' (along with everyone else).
Having a really locked down firewall means that I typically have to go elsewhere to get online to RP. And I while I do join PbP games, something a little faster-paced just so life doesn't interrupt in the middle of 'SOMETHING IMPORTANT' would be nice.
These are things that have been repeated, reiterated, and reused ad nauseum.
So, I am mainly going to say - GOOD LUCK with the character importing issue. I've tried this program, or that program, or tried to use the demo of another program, and now I am so con-fuzz-eled that I don't know what to do, how to keep my characters up to date, etc.
And it is done differently with various programs, simply because people want to have superiority in the market, so they make money. There's nothing wrong with that. They are businesses, after all.
Though, if Paizo could go around to all these groups and companies, which it sounds like someone has tried, and form something akin to the W3 Project (http://www.w3.org/), IETF (http://www.ietf.org/), or the insanely large and broad but globally accepted ISO (http://iso.org/) might go a long way for standardizing some of these protocols, code, and document formats.
If there are any companies that are willing to standardize their code, or at least the import and export processing, (and yes, this will be overhead) a non-profit 'council' of said interested parties might be an idea. Standardize it between this 'council' and let the market demand standardization from other companies.
*ponder* I wonder if that made any sense to anyone /NOT/ inside my head ....

In the past, there have been the RP servers and the PvP servers, etc, etc, etc.
Why not try something that an old Mu* tried. EOTL had player flags, oh yes, not surprising if you know anything about code, etc. However, a player started out non-PVP. And at any time, they could toggle themselves as PVP. There was no switching back, however. This lead to in-game bounties, and a whole society of people/characters involved in such. HOWEVER, this also left those players NOT INTERESTED in PvP, etc, untouchable. They could not participate in PvP, nor could they get axed themselves. And as I said... once the switch was made, it could not be changed unless the Game Wizzen were convinced to change it back. Not an easy on/off toggle at all. It even asked you thrice if you were certain you wanted to turn on PvP... just so no one could say: IT WAS A MISTAKE!!
My slow 2 cents.

Hi-De-Ho, Neighbour
Well, what do you know? Tracker knows Max. She likes to explore. She's probably been to the farms numerous times. I can't remember if I wrote about this before, but she was inspired by a fox I saw one night. It kept its distance, but made no effort whatsoever to hide the fact it was following me. I have no idea why.

Today the puppy turned 3 weeks old. Her eyes are wide open and she now tips the scales at 15oz! That's right, she's gained 5.5 ounce over just one week. She has just begun to hold her head up and attempt to take her first steps. We must settle on a name for her. She can no longer be called "puppy," especially because that's what Prince Mungo is called around here. Suggestions for her name are still greatly appreciated.
Today the puppy turned 2 weeks old. Her eyes are beginning to open, finally. She's becoming quite the chunky monkey, now weighing in at 9.5oz. We still haven't chosen a name for her. We weren't going to since it may be changed in a few months. But how could she go without a name for all that time? Plus the name we choose could end up being on her registration papers. We'd love suggestions for a "call name" and/or "kennel name" (for registration papers).
Names we like so far:
1) Kennel name: Amazing Grace / Call name: Grace ... something would need to be added the kennel name.
2) Kennel name: Texas Lone Star Cowgirl / Call name: Texas or Star... again, something may need to be added the kennel name.
3) Kennel name: Never Miss A Beat / Call name: Jazzy
4) Kennel name: Victoria's (breeder's name, btw) Best Kept Secret / Call name: Tori or Secret

Diamondbacks 5, Nationals 1: Trevor Cahill tossed 7 1/3 solid innings and Justin Upton drove in a pair of runs as visiting Arizona handed Washington its fifth consecutive loss.
Paul Goldschmidt collected three hits and Miguel Montero added an RBI double for the Diamondbacks, who have won four of their last five contests during their 10-game road trip.
After Aaron Hill was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Upton followed with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Upton added an RBI single in the ninth inning.
The offense was more than enough for Trevor Cahill (2-2), who allowed one run on six hits. Bryan Shaw bridged the gap to David Hernandez, who struck out two batters in the ninth to preserve the win.
After Jordan Zimmermann (1-2) retired eight straight batters, Arizona managed to get its offense on track in the fifth inning. Goldschmidt singled and advanced to second on shortstop Ian Desmond's error. Two batters later, John McDonald singled to shallow left field to plate Goldschmidt.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Bryce Harper, 19, received a rousing ovation from the crowd at Nationals Park prior to his first home at-bat of his career. He struck out and finished 0-for-3. ... Desmond had an RBI single for the eighth inning for the Nationals, who have scored seven runs during their losing streak. ... Jayson Werth returned to the lineup after sitting out with a migraine. He went 1-for-3. ... Zimmermann permitted four runs on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Originally an alternative hip hop group, they subsequently changed their musical sound to pop and dance-pop music.

"Why would you do this????????"
I have no idea who would enjoy it more.
The ending. I would have given it 5 stars on everything but the ending was just so wretched.
Narrator does a great job
Anger, sadness and disappointment
Wish I hadn't listened
"C,J. Box never disappoints."
Box builds the characters so vividly they are visible. Some ties to the first book in the series but not so much that it would ruin the story if listened to out of order.
"Gross and disturbing"
I'm surprised how much I hated this book. I really liked Back of Beyond. yuck.
Excellent! Does justice to the serial murder genre that is so fascinating, creepy while leaving out gratuitous violence . With a great quick developing plot and suspense
"So big a disappointment that I quit!"
Obviously, the author has a right to write what he wants. But if I had read and taken to heart the negative reviews, I wouldn't have wasted my time. As it was, I "only" wasted 5 hours, because I quit so I wouldn't waste an additional 5 hours! Don't bother reading this book if you like something redeeming in your reads.
"This had better not be the last one!"
Close to the top
they were willing to kill the hero and pass the baton on to the next generation.
His portrayal of the teenagers was well done
I think the part I liked and disliked the most this is entirely possible and could be a true story.
"Good writing - BAD BAD BAD story line"
I have seen enough on the news to know that this kind of thing happens BUT I do not want to read about it for entertainment. I should have paid heed to another reviewer who wrote "I have read every book C.J. (Box) has written and am a big fan. The Highway seemed to take a turn to the dark side and I did not like it, very disturbing..."
Once I discovered audio books I've never gone back! I listen everyday while I garden, cook, work around the house, and at bed time.
"Good read!"
I like C J Box. This book kept my attention. I listened to it until it finished. Very well done.
New characters coming. Can't wait for more!
"hard to listen to"
I almost didn't finish this book, because i anticipated a horrible end for the girls. The villians were repulsive creatures. I don't really want to read another like this.
Yes, it was painful anticipating the horror. I think this is a horror book/
the rescue
The villians, especially the crooked cop.
Live WELL!
"Way to dark...almost stopped reading/listening."
It appears Box was tinkering with some dark elements and decided to move on. This is a skip.
No the Pickett novels are excellent!
Excellent narrator.
The main villain and Box's decent into madness with the character.

Industry reports tells that Miss Doherty stars as "a young woman who inherits her family farm, which is deeply in debt.

« Back to Projects Dashboard
I'm trying to locate some of my ancestors -- most of whom live in Germany. My father immigrated to Canada as a young man in the 1950s, leaving all of his extended family behind. If you have any information that might help me build my tree, that would be great!

Writing as I do under the pen name Chef Boy Ari, I'm aware that someday the world will discover I'm a fraud. Chefs go to culinary school. Chefs cook at restaurants. Chefs know the difference between mirepoix, brunoise, bouquet garni and egg fu young.
So when Chef Tom Siegel called for "Chef Ari" the other day, it made me nervous. With more than 25 years in the business and numerous culinary awards under his belt, Siegel doesn't toss the term "chef" around casually.
The executive chef of UM's Dining Services was calling about a cooking contest in which I had agreed to compete. The competition was part of a celebration of UM's Farm to College program, which has spent more than $1 million on local food in the last three years. I love the Farm to College program and what it does for local farms, the local economy and student bellies, never mind the educational opportunities it creates. I was honored to be invited to participate.
I saw it as an opportunity to demonstrate that in early May, when spring has barely sprung and the fresh pickings are slim, it's still possible to make some spectacular local eats. My goal was to demonstrate the flavorful abundance that's possible year-round in Montana.
My opponent, I was told, would be Larry Evans. Did I know him?
Yes, of course. I know him as Black Dog, after the fabulous local-foods restaurant he used to own. As a black belt in judo, a trafficker of wild mushrooms, and a possessor of real-world food-service experience, I knew he was a force to be reckoned with—and I've reckoned with him plenty already. In the jungles of Brazil, I slept with one eye open. On the tundra of Alaska, sleep was not an option. In the watering holes of Missoula, I drink with one hand gripping the bar while I brace against the wall.
On the morning of the competition I pulled choice young garlic shoots from my garden. I washed and trimmed them alongside the lettuce, kale, totsoi, bok choy, arugula and mizuna leaves that little Sophie had picked for me from her mother's greenhouse at Clark Fork Organics farm. I gathered home-grown shallots and selected my most beautiful jar of pickled peppers from the pantry. Morels were rehydrating in a bowl next to some chunks of marinating deer—all harvested from the wild by me. In the oven, local carrots roasted alongside cloves of garlic. I looked forward to showing the audience these wonderful things while I spanked Black Dog once and for all.
Dressed in matching chef outfits and standing at side-by-side cooking stations, we began slicing and dicing. Four judges scrutinized our every move, scribbling on their clipboards.
Soon, my morels in sherry cream sauce were ready, the salad dressed, the roast carrot puree complete, the venison chunks frying, and I was busily preparing my masterstroke: Montana caviar mayonnaise—with whitefish caviar.
I was up 'til midnight the night before perfecting this delicate emulsification. But somehow, in the heat of battle, my mayonnaise failed to thicken beyond the consistency of skim milk.
Then my plates were so hot coming out of the plate warmer that I didn't dare to wilt Sophie's greens upon them. So instead of serving everything atop a bed of greens, as planned, I put everything else on the plate first, and then put a little mountain of salad on the side, whence it proceeded to spill over everything. Since I had forgotten a fork, I had to serve the deer with the tip of my knife—improperly using that utensil. I drizzled my spineless mayonnaise on top.
It wasn't the most delicate presentation, but it was the flavorful bounty I wanted to present.
Black Dog, meanwhile, presented a solitary stuffed morel next to a few sprigs of asparagus.
The judges praised the way the many flavors of my dish worked together and my use of local foods. One judge, unfortunately, found a rock in the morels. Another found a hair. I also lost points in the category of "proper seasonal theme" (yes, really). But the most common criticism directed my way was that there was too much food on my plates.
Black Dog's scores didn't suffer from too much food, although one judge took issue with his seasonings, and another felt the rice in his stuffing was undercooked. Still, he took the gold.
Well, at least now the world knows the truth about faux Chef Boy Ari and the pressure is off. And while too much food on my plate may cost me points in competitive culinary circles, if you eat your food straight out of the pan, straight out of the garden, every day of the year, and consider leftovers to be a bonus, then I'm your faux chef for sure.
And by the way, that alleged hair they found in my morels? I bet Black Dog put it there.

Have a piece of news you want us to discuss? Submit it here via this email form and we'll weigh in on an upcoming episode.
After years of stagnant growth in conventional oil extraction rates, ignorance of Hubbert's Curve has peaked. Now that the mainstream can't dismiss the issue, public conversations proclaim an exuberant belief in marginal reserves as our savior. Claims of American energy independence have fueled a dialogue that threatens to drive the US economy towards a fiscal and energy cliff. Can we look toward renewables to meet our energy needs for the future? Is it possible to start telling a new story about our energy future?
In Extraenvironmentalist #47 we discuss the global energy picture with Chris Nelder as he describes the energy stories we tell ourselves and explains exactly how many natural gas wells it will take for the United States to gain energy independence. We ask Chris about the complexity of our international energy markets and why we shouldn't give up on renewable energy even if it doesn't fit the power grid of today. Then, we speak with Gregor MacDonald about the recent blackout in India that cut electricity to 10% of Earth's population. Gregor tells us about the process of normal accidents and why the risk we've offloaded might be trickling back into our energy infrastructure. Last of all, we speculate about the future of capitalism as growth ends. Will we look back on these years of corporate rule as the golden age before serfdom?

SS: Look at all the stars. Aren't they beautiful?
GK: We're not here to look at all of them, Maureen. We're here to look in one exact place and there, if my calculations are correct,we will discover a new planet. (STING)
SS: A new planet—why Dr. Fellows—--- that'll be a historic moment. There'll be front-page articles in the papers. You'll be famous.
GK: I suppose so. According to my calculations, tonight's the only night in the next fifteen months when it will be visible. There's no room for error, Maureen. (TYPING) Just a few more coordinates here.

IE9 throws because it doesn't support extend(). Chrome 17 dev and Opera Next 12.00 alpha output "false", although admittedly getRangeAt() returns copies in both, so it would output "false" even without the extend() call. The specification requires that extend() create a new range that replaces the existing one, not mutate the existing one: """ 3. Let new range be a new range. . . . 7. Set the context object's range to new range. """ http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#dom-selection-extend This is consistent with collapse(), collapseToStart(), collapseToEnd(), and selectAllChildren(). It's also consistent with what happens if the user modifies the selection: any existing range is replaced, not mutated. deleteFromDocument() does mutate any existing range, but it's the odd one out (and perhaps it should be changed too). This causes test failures in <http://aryeh.name/tmp/editing/selecttest/extend.html>. If this bug, bug 711047, and one more that I'm about to file are fixed, Firefox will pass all the tests in that file AFAICT.

Created attachment 605885 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1 I admit to having no idea if this is a sane way to do this. I cheated and used AddRange and RemoveRange instead of internal methods, because I know what those actually do. To my surprise, it seems to actually work. Note: this applies on top of the patch for bug 719518. It will conflict if you apply it to m-c due to different context in the Makefile. Also note: I removed a stray semicolon and a redundant (apparently?) "if (NS_FAILED(res)) return res;" that were nearby. Tell me if that sort of minor cleanup should be in a separate patch.

Can you also test the case where the node and offset are the same as the existing selection (this is what we were optimizing for previously)?

I generally appreciate this kind of cleanup in the patch as long as they're not so pervasive to hide what the patch is really doing. :-)

Created attachment 606305 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v2 (In reply to Ehsan Akhgari [:ehsan] from comment #3) > Please use Clear and AddItem here. As I mentioned on IRC, Clear would remove all ranges, not just the one we want to remove. After a bit of fiddling, I took a different tactic with this patch: I renamed CopyRangeToAnchorFocus to SetAnchorFocusToRange, and made it overwrite mAnchorFocusRange instead of mutating it. There was a comment by bz suggesting doing that anyway. There's one other caller of that method, which might or might not be broken by that change, but I'm being optimistic. :) The rewritten version uses RemoveItem and AddItem. > Nit: please preserve the alphabetical ordering. Fixed in new version, although the file wasn't actually alphabetical before. > This looks good. Can you also test the case where the node and offset are > the same as the existing selection (this is what we were optimizing for > previously)? Done in new version.

I read many of the reviews and was ready to cancel my appointment! I decided to keep the appt. and am very pleased I did so. There were 4 sessions, each lasting 15 minutes. The first 3 sessions were ABSOLUTELY painless. The 4th session had a few seconds of discomfort, but nothing like others described. The dentist and assts. said to tell them immediately if there were problems.
I had some discomfort afterwards for a few hours, but again, nothing too bad. And, I am not known for having a high pain tolerance! I'm happy with the results and would recommend this.

Serbian Orthodox Church faces key decision
By Adam Tanner
BELGRADE (Reuters) - Four months after Serbia swore in a pro-Europe government in a move away from its nationalist past, the Serbian Orthodox Church is deciding whether to stick to its hardline course or become more moderate.
The new face of a church that has long defined Serbs' national identity will emerge after elders decide at a meeting on Tuesday whether to accept the resignation of ailing 94-year-old Patriarch Pavle and choose a successor.
If his resignation is accepted, a new patriarch will be chosen some time in the next three months.
"Now Serbia is after war, after bombing, now Serbia is a very normal democratic country and everything has changed in this country -- only not the church," said Zivica Tucic, the Belgrade-based editor of an independent publication on the church. "It was not possible with the old patriarch."
Patriarch Pavle was elected to the church's top position in 1990 during the dying days of Yugoslavia.
He presided as Serbs warred with neighbors during the 1990s in Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Kosovo, with his priests often blessing soldiers heading to battle those from other religions.
Patriarch Pavle was the one who gave late Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic the green light to negotiate an end to the 1992-95 Bosnian conflict on behalf of all Serbs.
Serbs, Croats and Bosnia's Muslims are divided by their religion -- Croats are mainly Catholic and Serbs are predominantly Orthodox. With the Balkan nations still sorting out their place in the world, religion has a big influence. Continued...

One topic I always think of is how we as adults, tend to lose their child-like sense of the world. We become jaded because everything is familiar and there is no wonder any more. We are always looking straight ahead… right into they eyes of other adults who are just as jaded. The wonder we experienced as children seems to be gone. Its a cycle, and yet children don't suffer from this…children still see the wonder that we are blinded to (well, that most of us are blinded to.)
Most of us…..
Yes, I said most of us. I have always kept a child-like attitude and continually see wonder in the world. I, however, live life hearing others talk about almost exactly what I wrote in the first paragraph. Most of the world around me (except for a few friends) has abandoned childlike wonder and replaced it with day to day drudgery and doom & gloom. I got to thinking about why this is.
You hear people say "Well, people just have to grow up and take responsibility." That is the excuse I hear every time someone tries to explain why the childlike sense of wonder goes away. I don't buy it. I …and the certain few friends I mentioned earlier… grew up and we take responsibility for our actions. We are also successful in what we do as adults while at the same time seeing the world with childlike wonder. Please don't think we are blinded to the bad stuff that happens in the world…we are not. There is pain and suffering all around, but that does not cancel the good parts of the creation we live in. Experiencing the child-like view of life also gives us hope and a positive outlook that can see beyond the pain to a better outcome and outside the box solutions.
I don't believe that adulthood and child-like wonder have to be mutually exclusive. I also don't believe that growing up and taking responsibility negates our ability to see the world through a child's eyes. How can this be possible? I believe one element can change your outlook on life and make you see the world in a different light.
Looking Up!
While out the other day with some friends and their kids the other day, I was thinking about this topic. I realized that (due to their height) everything around the kids is "bigger" than what is around us. My friend's daughter was always looking up at her dad, the other kids were always looking up at objects as well…because everything in our world is set for adult height. That is when it dawned on me. I and my friends that still have a childlike outlook… never stopped looking up! We look at the stars, tall buildings, cloud formations, trees, all the tall things that 90% of the rest of us miss because it is looking straight ahead at a world engineered for adult height. Society gets so lost in the clutter of what is eye level that there is no room to dream!
The sky is limitless, and so are the possibilities for your life. Look above the clutter and give yourself room to dream. Look up at the great expanse that defies explination and let your imagination soar. And just like my friend's daughter was looking up with wonder at her dad, we can do the same thing and look up at our Creator with wonder. It's a pattern that we rarely replicate as adults, but we should. Even if you don't agree with my belief in a creator (that subject is not the focus of this post), I challenge you to look up anyway…and make it a habit. Looking up activates something amazing… and you might just discover you inner child again.

Alright, I have seen MANY MANY threads related to the throwout bearing making the whirring sound in the cold. Mine has done this since day one, however this is much different.
This noise only happens for the first few shifts and is not the whirring sound most people are experiencing with pushing in the clutch (throw out bearing). I am at 2-3k rpm WHILE DRIVING and push in the clutch and get a whinding down whistle/horn noise, like the supercharger noise whinding down, but it only does it for 2 seconds and changes pitch as the motor comes back down to idle. It will do this a few times and then be done once the motor is completely warmed up.
On my way home I waited for the car to COMPLETELY warm up (10 mins) and sure enough accelerate lightly in first gear, hit the clutch in at 2.7k and hear the winding down noise, but this time it only did it twice. Never heard it again on the way home. This isn't a suddle whistle, it is well described as moderate in terms of quiet to loud.
Boost is fine. Car pulls fine. No idle issues. The sound is actually very similar to the boost leak issue most people have with the IC hose while under acceleration, but this is not in acceleration it is when pushing in the clutch at like 10% throttle ONLY WHEN IT IS COLD COLD.
Obviously, there isn't any extreme issue right now, but this is a new noise that has happened twice now and is very noticible. Perhaps a more experienced member has some insight to this before I take it to the dealership (I want to identify the problem first if possible). Not a fan of taking my car to the dealership based on previous experience.
THose who don't like to read....
*Only makes the noise for a few seconds like a whinding down (changes pitch and all) noise when it is Cold.
*Only does it a couple of times - maybe a dozen depending on how much the car is warmed up and then will not happen again.
*Not under any heavy boost, push the clutch in while moving at low speeds and low rpm
Thanks for your input!

Reports: Scorpions drummer jailed in Dubai for 'offensive behavior'
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Newspapers in the United Arab Emirates are reporting that the American drummer for the rock band Scorpions has been sentenced to one month in jail after being convicted of offensive behavior in Dubai.
The government-backed National newspaper reported Tuesday that James Kottak was convicted of insulting Islam, raising his middle finger, and being under the influence of alcohol while in transit at Dubai airport.
The Gulf News daily says he was arrested April 3 en route from Russia to Bahrain, where the German band was scheduled to perform at a Formula One race. Kottak was a no-show at the April 5 concert.
The newspapers say Kottak admitted to drinking but denied other charges.
The Scorpions' manager did not respond to requests for comment. Kottak's local lawyer couldn't immediately be reached.

I have a small lump on the bridge of my nose and although is not very noticable, it is to me and I can see it in shadowy lights. It feels like a small flattened lump when I touch it and was told to massage it when first used, but won't go. When I push on it or lie down in bed it seems to go away but always returns later. I really want it removed.
