This is a list of modern-day campaigns, scenarios and story seeds, which may be suitable for Delta Green or similar conspiracy games. A few points should be borne in mind when perusing this list: * Whilst I have tried to avoid needlessly giving any information away, it is inevitable some hints about DG adventures will surface in this list. Consider this document to contain SPOILERS. In other words, if you are a player GO AWAY NOW. * I have not included URL's to any of the internet adventures. Whilst providing a link to a public site, such as a news-story or map might be OK, I don't want to provide links to creative works without personal permission first. Instead I have provided general details which, with a reasonable Search Engine, should allow you to locate these adventures. If any of the writers of these scenarios are on this list and are happy to share their URL's then please feel free to do so. * By the same token I have left case files (ie. write-ups of any of player/Keeper experiences of these scenarios) out. However if you have any URL's for case-files, feel free to share them so that other Keepers can learn from your groups experiences. * This list is split into three further sub-lists for story seeds, scenarios and campaigns. These are defined as possible: STORY SEEDS - The beginning of a scenario and/or an idea (or selection of ideas), that inspires other Keepers to develop into a scenario. SCENARIO - A full plotline, including a begining, a middle and an end. If a scenario does not appear to have a middle or an end or seems too sketchy I have filed it as a Story Seed instead. CAMPAIGN - A collection of linked scenarios. Depending on the nature of the campaign some of the scenarios may be playable independently of the rest of the campaign with little or no Keeper modification, whereas other adventures are deeply entrenched in the plot and may require extensive modification for the Keeper to utilise them. * This list includes scenarios from a variety of systems. Notes on the main differences between systems and how Keepers might adapt them can be found in the Ice Cave/DG Digests. * This list is by no means complete. Any additional information on other DG-worthy scenarios, new hooks or anything else you feel appropriate would be appreciated. Scenarios --------- CITY IN THE SEA, THE Source: Call of Cthulhu Now (Chaosium) Author: G.W. Thomas, Lynn Willis System: CoC Hook: The statue is found during an ATF raid. When both the original owner, small-time mafiosi embezzler, Jose Perandez, and the operative who "inherrited" the statue, Melvin Quimby, die a few days later from drowning on dry land DG requisition the statue in the name of , who receives it in the post one morning, a la the original hook. Notes: The expanded hook allows you to throw in a few mafiosi who'll talk to the PC's about Jose's last movements before death (Buying maps, preparing for some damn-fool undersea exploration) in return for "favours". These criminals may also give a link to Alzis. CLOSED CASKET Source: Secrets (Chaosium) Author: Brian M. Sammons System: CoC Hook: Tabloid journalism is normally regarded as sensationalist by Delta Green but when a DG Friendly testing new FBI recruits in detecting falsified photographs using imaging software, enhances a "sasquatch" from a daily tabloid and finds it to be a Ghoul, A-Cell is contacted and the PC's are duly notified. The funeral can be used as cover for the cell's identities. Notes: These ghouls are probably traditionalists who have lost contact with their counterparts in the big city. A violent resolution is likely to have reprecussions in the long term. CONTAGION Source: Internet (Tenebrous Technologies Pages) Author: Matt Cowgar System: CoC Hook: Specifically written for Delta Green. Notes: Tournament scenario. Some pages still to be written. CONVERGENCE Source: Delta Green (Pagan Publishing) Author: John Tynes System: CoC Hook: No hook is necessary. This adventure was specifically designed with DG in mind. CULT OF ONE, A Source: Secrets (Chaosium) Author: Brian M. Sammons System: CoC Hook: A PC is recuperating in hospital after a bloody mission/an operation on their ingrowing toe-nail when the kidnapping occurs. CURSE OF THE BONE Source: White Dwarf Issue 86 (Games Workshop) Author: Marcus L. Rowland System: CoC Hook: The incident is picked up by a Delta Green agent working in the NHS or Department of Health. Notes: Probably best run as if these ghouls were new wave rather than traditionalists. Up to the usual high standards you expect from a Rowland scenario. DEATH OF SIMON MICHAELS, THE Source: Internet (Author's pages) Author: Rik Kershaw-Moore System: CoC Hook: Specifically written as an introductory adventure to G19, a British version of DG. If part of an ongoing campaign Pendleton, Harcourt and G19 can be a friendly organistion to DG, who request a little independent assistance. The initial contact point can be the British Psychic Research Association. Notes: Quite how (if) PISCES and G19/SG4 interact will need to be established by the Keeper in advance. Low key in tone, Gun nuts may have difficulty in this adventure. DE PROFUNDIS Source: Internet (??? Pages) Author: Jonas Hedkvist System: CoC Hook: 1) The PC's could arrive after the murder, in which case (XXX), the next-door neighbour, could have described something to the police which sounds a little too Mythos for DG's liking. Otherwise, the PC's could be ???? Notes: This adventure has a clever option where the PC's play themselves. Unfortuneately this is likely to be dropped if run as a DG scenario. DRAW THE BLINDS ON YESTERDAY Source: White Dwarf Issue 63 (Games Workshop) Author: Marcus L. Rowland System: CoC Hook: 1) The PC's are travelling to Britain, as the original scenario suggests. 2) The PC's are drafted in as Civil Aviation Experts by DG or their British counterpart following the event. Notes: Arguably the first published Call of Cthulhu Now scenario and still amongst the best for my money. Ariadne would make an interesting pseudo-friendly or patron. DREAMS DARK AND DEADLY Source: Cthulhu Now (Chaosium) Author: Michael Szymanski System: CoC Hook: A DG op recently captured Majestic documents pertaining to subconscious dream manipulation at the Windthrope Estate. The cell is sent to investigate a potential case of Majestic brainwashing. EVIL STARS, THE Source: Cthulhu Now (Chaosium) Author: Keith Herber System: CoC Hook: A ritual killing by two tenagers claiming "the music made them do it" sparks Delta Green's initial interest. Notes: Alzis and/or The Fate might be introduced to the PC's as a source of information if the Keeper decides that GLC have played Club Apocalypse in the past. The Reverend could be dropped in favour of some DG analysis from the boys in the backroom but to my mind he's too fun an NPC to drop. FRACTAL GODS Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: Steve Hatherley System: CoC Hook: 1) Fred JK, a Delta Green Friendly charged with looking out for odd behaviour on the internet, detects several large spikes coming from a specific web-site. The Web site is owned by GATES OF DELIRIUM, THE Source: The Stars are Right Author: Gary Sumpter System: CoC Hook: The police arrest Ralph Brown, a small-time criminal with a drug habit who mugged XXXXX XXXXX to feed his habit. He pleads guilty to a number of charges including XXXX's mugging - but things take a more sinister turn when a DG agent Thomas finds the Laio drug in Ralph's possession. Thomas investigates and tracks it back to Rachel. Before he can proceed any further Rachel commits suicide. Fearing that Rachel might have been murdered due to his investiagtions, Thomas backs off and requests DG send some new, unknown faces to investigate in his stead. GUNTHER DOCUMENTS, THE Source: Internet (DG Digest 229, Delta Green Home Page) Author: Cry.Sis (Real name unknown) System: CoC Hook: Specifically written for Delta Green. HILL OF WOE, THE Source: Internet (Author's pages) Author: Rik Kershaw-Moore System: CoC Hook: Specifically written for G19, a British counterpart to DG. References to G19 could be changed to DG fairly easily. Notes: Well-written, thought-out and researched. Definitely worth a look. HIVE Source: Internet (HOARDE indices) Author: AetherKnight (Real name unknown) System: Conspiracy X Hook: Specifically written for Conspiracy X but easily portable to Delta Green. Notes: For Black Book read Majestic. This could be a Grey experiment conducted by Majestic. KILLER OUT OF SPACE, THE Source: Cthulhu Now (Chaosium) Author: William A. Burton System: CoC Hook: 1) Hargrave is a DG friendly who acts as a drop point for agents who suspect their security may have been breached. The PC's are sent to collect the mail. 2) The shuttle goes down and the PC's are sent as NASA scientists to investigate. Notes: In the light of DG this adventure can (and should) incorporate Majestic. Saucerwatch can be used as the group which provides the media handouts. LIBERATION Source: Internet (Authors pages, Scenario written for LepreCon, Trinity College Dublin's annual gaming convention) Author: Andrew Behan System: CoC (Hybrid) Hook: None required, written specifically with DG in mind. Notes: Originally a tournament scenario, X-files in tone. LOVE IN NEED, A Source: Secrets (Chaosium) Author: Brian M. Sammons System: CoC Hook: LOVE'S LONELY CHILDREN Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: Richard Watts System: CoC Hook: ? Doesn't this one start with a murder ? (bought a new diary images in diary strike big time correlation w/ Mythos imagery) Notes: The nightclub in this scenario could be replaced with Club Apocalypse. MOTORPSYCHO Source: The Last Province, Issue 3 Author: Unknown System: Chill Hook: The psycho is a shan-infested assassin sent to eliminate PC's who know too much. The shan wait for a time when the PC's are off-guard. Notes: More of a Blood Brothers adventure than DG. Good fun, nevertheless. Might work as the opening scenario to a PISCES or G19 campaign, especially if the PC's discover the Psycho's body has been requisitioned by HM Government. MUSIC OF THE SPHERES, THE Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: Kevin A. Ross System: CoC Hook: Notes: Ideally the independent race in this adventure should be the Greys, rather than the one suggested. This might be where the Greys and their cohorts learn of the-threat-that-shall-be in the New Age campaign (below), and as such should take place some time before. Vindictive Keepers might want to involve Majestic and/or Saucerwatch, though the PC's have quite enough on their plate as it is. NEMO SOLUS SAPIT (NONE IS WISE ALONE) Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: John Tynes System: CoC Hook: Use original hook suggested, or turn Uncle Mal into a DG agent. OPERATION FIRESALE Source: Dungeon Magazine 26 (TSR) Author: John Terra System: Top Secret S/I Hook: Rather than selling secrets/arms to East Germany the leak should be selling them to the Karotechia/Majestic. The outcome of the "Rescue" scenario (below) ought to provide a good link to this scenario. Notes: No direct Mythos involvement, although if the leak is selling secrets/arms to the Karotechia, they might summon various minor Mythos beasties as the GM sees fit. PAST IS DOOMED, THE Source: Internet (Chaosium Digests) Author: Geoff Gillan System: CoC Hook: Zabrich is a DG friendly who has gone missing. The PC's cell is called in to locate him and find out what he knows. Notes: This is an exceptionally good, if dangerous and SAN-blasting, scenario. Thoroughly recommended. PRIVATEERS DIARY, THE Source: The Bermuda Triangle (Chaosium) Author: Justin Schmid (Janice Sellers) System: CoC Hook: 1) The PC's find the diary amongst a cultists personal effects. 2) The Jameson Historical Research Foundation, ostensibly a cover organisation for DG, funds the expidition. This can either be to locate the Mythos tome suggested in the adventure, or to find buried treasure which can be sold a profit to assist DG funds. Notes: Next to no mythos content makes this a good training mission or an assignment for agents who are "losing it" and need to be re-assigned to less traumatic missions. PROFESSIONALS, THE Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: Fred Behrendt System: CoC Hook: 1) DG/The PC's owe Alzis a favour. Alzis decides he needs a little political influence and sends them to meet XXXXX 2) The ODIN device has been developped by a Majestic sub-project as a technological advance. When it goes missing DG smells an opportunity. Notes: This is a very linear adventure and may not be suited to some campaign styles. If using the second hook some work will be required. PUPPET SHOWS AND SHADOW PLAYS Source: Delta Green (Pagan Publishing) Author: Adam Scott Glancy System: CoC Hook: No hook is necessary. This adventure was specifically designed with DG in mind. RESCUE Source: Internet (HOARDE Indices) Author: AetherKnight (Real name unknown) System: Conspiracy X Hook: Byakhee have been sighted flying around XXXXXX The PC's are charged with covering up the story and handling the propaganda side of things whilst another cell deals with the Byakhee. Notes: This scenario starts with the PC's having to cover up a UFO Crash and will need to be replaced with another paranormal phenomenom (see above) The true enemies in this episode could either be Majestic or survivalist fascists manipulated by the Karotechia. The resolution of this adventure can act as a feed into Operation Firesale (above) RETURN TO THE MONOLITH Source: Internet (Chaosium Digests) Author: Michael C. LaBossiere System: CoC Hook: The Investigators could pose as researchers for the Monolith documentary for two reasons: This is a good opportunity to gather information for DG and this is a good chance to build up contacts in the media for disinformation services. Of course the latter case might be a little flimsy once some of the documentary team come face to face with the Mythos. Notes: Designed as a sequel to "People of the Monolith" from the "Shadows of Yog-Sothoth" sourcebook. Some fun can be had by playing the prequel before this scenario and letting DG agents run into references about their former counterparts. THIS FIRE SHALL KILL Source: The Stars are Right (Chaosium) Author: Andre Bishop System: CoC Hook: 1) Use the original hook from this adventure. This works best when the PC's have made a few enemies. 2) The PC's are called in to investigate the remnants of a fire after firemen/victims claim "the fire was alive" Notes: Some discussion of how suspicious fires are handled by police and the fire brigade has been made on the list. Keepers may wish to consult these notes to improve the realism of the scenario. TRAIN WRECK Source: Internet (Conspiracy X/Eden Publications) Author: B. C. Trombley System: Conspiracy X Hook: Whilst written for Conspiracy X, the hook for this adventure should be perfectly servicable for DG. Notes: For Aegis read Delta Green, for Black Book read Majestic (or similar organisation in your campaign) The equipment made available to the PC's could be a good example of a "Green Box" in action. UNSEALED ROOM, THE Source: Secrets (Chaosium) Author: Brian M. Sammons System: CoC Hook: Campaigns --------- Where a campaign is described no hook is given for the campaign. Individual keepers must read the campaign for themselves and decide how best to utilise it. Notes are given, offering advice on how certain aspects of the campaign might be handled. Hooks are given offering ways to implement adventures in the campaign as one-off DG scenarios. AMONG THE DEAD -------------- Source: Among the Dead (GDW) System: Dark Conspiracy Notes: These adventures can be played as one campaign or as three separate scenarios. Some work will be required. Some plot elements may need to be dropped. NEW YORK Chapter: 1 Author: Hook: public health - strange smell, germs. (bloke report found in police database) MOSCOW Chapter: 2 Author: Hook: A Moscovite ghoul contacts DG via "Nancy"? claiming something dark and definitely Mythos is happening to the Moscow underground. The message is somewhat twisted as it comes via a dream. Given Nancy's "heritage" and GRU-SD8's distrust of ghouls sending her is impossible so the PC's cell is sent instead. Notes: The ???Saviours??? can be replaced by a GRU-SD8 unit instead. The initial warehouse gunfight can be a "prove thy worth" joint GRU-SD8/Delta Green mission. SIBERIA Chapter: 3 Author: Hook: A man turns up at the American embassy in Moscow claiming to have escaped from a Siberian death-camp... but the name he gives is that of a Delta Green agent who disappeared during World War II, somewhere in Russia. Given the political nature of his claims, GRU-SD8 cannot be trusted with this mission so the PC's are called in to investigate a potential case of Yithian brainwashing. Notes: Considering what is happening here this could be a Karotechia backed project (funded via the Russian Mafia) which, if successful could be mirrored in other parts of the world in preparation for the fourth Reich. Of course, if this is the case, given the way history stood, the Karotechia will tolerate this installation only as long than is absolutely necessary. AT YOUR DOOR ------------ Source: At Your Door (Chaosium) System: CoC Notes: If you do not intend to play the entire campaign several of these scenarios will require severe modification. Most of this campaign takes place in the ficticious city of Sampson, which should be read as San Francisco. FULL WILDERNESS Chapter: 1 Author: L.N.Isinwyll, Mark Morrison, Herbert Hike Hook: Delta Green has managed to capture the "thing" but now needs to transport it to a friendly university department for further research. The PC's are required to transport it to a deserted garage on the outskirts of town where another cell will arrive to pick it up. Notes: Much of this scenario is scene-seting and establishing key characters. However, the delivery and the search for Tait can form the nucleus of a DG scenario. LANDSCRAPES Chapter: 2 Author: Mark Morrison (L.N.Isinwyll) Hook: The farm could be a Majestic experiment gone awry. Majestic leaks stories of "something funny in the woodshed" to DG so that they can do the dirty work of tidying things up. Notes: Some parts of this scenario work by suggestion (ie. action happens "off-scene" or at the periphery of the field of vision) These can form scenario seeds for future DG operations. DAWN BIOZYME Chapter: 3 Author: L.N.Isinwyll (Herbert Hike) Hook: Mutated fish turn up downstream from the Dawn Biozyme plant. This could be a case for the Public Health Board but DG, who is aware of the DB/NWI heritage, decides not to take any risks. Notes: Dawn Biozyme is very wealthy and players trying to bring public health charges against it will get the players stuck in a mire of meaningless legal wranglings. Emphasis should be placed firmly on investigation and threat elimination, legal action can be taken by the Public Health Board (or more DG friendlies) at a later date. NO PAIN, NO GAIN Chapter: 4 Author: Barbara Manui, Chris Adams (L.N.Isinwyll) Hook: Eschon Shipping Industries, a small organisation that serves as a cover group for Shub-Niggurath cultists, was recently prevented from poisoning the North Virgina water reservoir with an unknown substance (Milk) by E-Cell. Corporate data recovered from the raid indicates that much of the preliminary research into the milk was performed on J. Armbuster. E-Cell sustained heavy losses during their mission, however, and are currently recuperating in hospital. The PC's are sent to track down Armbuster and finish the job off. Notes: This is either an adventure you'll love or hate. Personally I'd replace the main villain of the piece with a werewolf and lose about half the scenario. WHERE A GOD SHALL TREAD Chapter: 5 Author: Scott D. Aniolowski (L.N.Isinwyll, Herbert Hike) Hook: The PC's are investigating some phony cult which has nothing to do with the Mythos when they witness the murder. PC's with police-type backgrounds (eg. FBI, NYPD) can be seconded onto the case. The phony cult can be a new-age religion/pacifist movement/burnt-out-hippies/radical feudalists or whatever the Keeper sees fit. AFTER THE BIG ONE Chapter: 6 Author: L.N.Isinwyll (Herbert Hike) Hook: Following "the big one" lots of strange reports start circulating about disappearing people and a strange cult called The Brotherhood of Forks. The PC's are sent in in the guise of relief workers to locate The Brotherhood of Forks. BRIEF RESECTION OF TIME, A -------------------------- Source: A Brief Resection of Time (Chaosium) System: CoC Notes: This was a tournament scenario which uses a really cute trick about two-thirds of the way through. This trick is likely to incompatible with most campaigns. The rest of the campaign could be played as is, though the posibility of using the Karotechia or the Greys, instead of the original enemy in this scenario, might make worthwhile exploring. The PC's will almost certainly want some experience in Mayan archaeology and this scenario may be a good point to introduce a new PC with the appropriate skills to the cell. ????, THE DARK ROAD Chapter: 1 Author: Sam Johnson Hook: The case of Kyle Woodson gets the atention of Delta Green. If the original script is being used then Kyle is an innocent caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Keeper may prefer to raise the stakes and make Kyle a DG Friendly who was sent to Belize with DG's backing under the guise of a JHRF researcher. ????, THE DARK PORTAL Chapter: 2 Author: Sam Johnson Hook: NEW AGE, THE ------------ Source: Delta Green (Pagan Publishing) System: CoC Notes: This campaign was specifically written for Delta Green. THE PRINCE IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE PRINCE Chapter: 1 Author: Adam Scott Glancy, John Tynes Hook: None is necessary. This scenario was written specifically for DG DAWN OF THE NEW AGE Chapter: 2 Author: Adam Scott Glancy, John Tynes Hook: None is necessary. This scenario was written specifically for DG NIGHTSIDERS ----------- Source: Nightsiders (Games Designer Workshop) System: Dark Conspiracy Notes: Dead Island Chapter: 1 Author: Hook: Nightsiders Chapter: 2 Author: Hook: OFF-RAMP Chapter: 3 Author: Hook: NOCTURNUM - LONG SHADES ----------------------- Source: Nocturnum - Long shades (Flight Fantasy Games) System: CoC Notes: Each of these adventures can be played as solo scenarios with little modification. If the campaign is not being used the earth-shattering revelation at the end of Stillness can be ignored or act as a portent of things to come in The New Age campaign. SNOWFLAKE VALLEY Chapter: 1 Author: Christian T. Petersen (Darrell Hardy) Hook: THE MADNESS OF THE TWILIGHT QUEEN Chapter: 2 Author: Darrell Hardy (Christian T. Petersen) Hook: The DEA report a new hallucinogen appearing on the market. Users claim to "travel to another dimension". Time for DG to send in their own DEA agents to deal with things. Notes: The Drug could be a derivative of the Laio Drug, in which case this scenario would benefit from playing The Gates of Delerium (above) STILLNESS Chapter: 3 Author: Andrew Warren, Darrel Hardy, Christian T. Petersen (Peter Mark) Hook: This scenario starts with a letter to one of the PC's. Given the way the letter is written, Alzis (or patron of your choice) could have enlightened Hito about the cell. Notes: There is very little reason why XXXX ?? Still Mountain ?? should not be shifted to Japan rather than being staged in America. NOCTURNUM - HOLLOW WINDS ------------------------ Source: Nocturnum - Hollow Winds (Flight Fantasy Games) System: CoC Notes: These adventures are a lot more integrated than in the first part of this campaign and are slightly more difficult to detach. Several of the sub-plots and characters may need to be changed. As the PC's are government agents the FBI subplot is probably the first to go (or mutated into NRO DELTA) Also The Temple of The New Moon, could be replaced by The Fate. Project Pandora should be made a Majestic project (perhaps a hangover from The New Age campaign). Individual Keepers should decide on the precise reaction of the Greys ahead of time but my suggestion is that "some of our equipment was critically damaged by independent agents" (during the New Age Campaign) and that they will be working with the US government to try and stop the crisis in the interim. Behind the scenes they may actaully aid or hinder the PC's as they try to work out what the hell is going on. Finally - this campaign is not yet finished and events at the end of the campaign may alter this conjecture significantly. FLIGHT 714 Chapter: 4 Author: Darrell Hardy, Christian T. Petersen Hook: The PC's are on Flight 714, plain and simple. Notes: Reasonably adaptable, just change the enemies to suit your campaign. VISITTING HOURS Chapter: 5 Author: Darrell Hardy, Christian T. Petersen Hook: 1) Timothy could be a DG agent with valuable information who has gone AWOL. 2) If the agents are ever on the run the lead-in could be much the same as "The Benefactor" section of this book, though Alzis could act as the patron. A FAMILY AFFAIR Chapter: 6 Author: Darrell Hardy, Christian T. Petersen Hook: 1) As above, either as a follow-up to the previous scenario or on it's own. 2) Reports of kidnappings, "something strange stirring in the swamps" and odd locals who can communicate without speaking prompt DG to investigate a potential case of Shan infestation. THORS HAMMER Chapter: 7 Author: Darrell Hardy, Christian T. Petersen Hook: 1) This scenario calls for the PC's to be captured (as set up in the previous chapter, Revelations) If this campaign is being modified significantly Keepers may need another method to capture the PC's. 2) SONAR reports from a secret US submarine in the North Sea should increase marine activity around the XXXX oil platform. Radio contact with this platform has been lost. The PC's are sent in to investigate. Notes: Considering DG originally came about because of the raid on Innsmouth, Marsh's existence might be of great interest to DG, and could set the stage for a DG vs. Deep One campaign. UTATI ASFEET (The Eye of Wicked Sight) -------------------------------------- Source: Utati Asfeet (Chaosium) System: CoC Notes: This campaign is set at the height of the Gulf War, though can easily be moved forwards a few years. I've split the "scenarios" as divided in the book, though some locations contain several scenarios and some are just short scenes (which may or may not be usable in other campaigns, or as hooks) This campaign could also be a good way to introduce DG in a non-DG campaign. One of the dirty tricks played by one of the villains in this campaign could land the PC's in very hot legal water - if so, DG could bail them out, provided they continue to investigate on behalf of DG. Think "La Femme Nikita" TONGO Chapter: 1 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: DG assigns the cell to attend the conference to earmark potential friendlies and/or enemies. AIRPORT 1991 Chapter: 2 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: This is a link, rather than a scenario. An investigation by DG sponsorred Civil Aviation Experts could be a good hook for the next part of the adventure. NEW ORLEANS Chapter: 3 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: This is an intricate affair and several of the scenes overlap although parts of the adventure could be salvaged and used. If you like running characters and themes the voodoo elements of this scenario will benefit from running the players through Liberation (above) sometime before this campaign begins. The chief villain could attract the attention of DG after an IRS investigation of his company reveals some odd purchases. Whilst the IRS suspect said villains involvement with terrorists or shady antiques dealers, DG suspect something more sinister. TURUA Chapter: 4 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: A reference to "the darkness enshrouding Turua" is found in a Mythos tome of your choice. DG assigns the cell to investigate and troubleshoot. Notes: The children in the scenario are reminiscent of "The Mydwich Cuckoos" by John Wyndham. (Filmed as "The Village of the Damned") Keepers may benefit from reading this novel. PATHS OF OUR FOREFATHERS Chapter: 5 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: This is more of a seed for an adventure than a scenario in itself. The tiles/map could be found amongst the trappings of cultists or as a historical discovery for the Jameson Historical Research Foundation. SAMANTHA HEIDRICHS Chapter: 6 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: Like "Airport 1991" above this is more of a link than anything and could be used to nudge the PC's towards the Sudan episode of this scenario. If so the hook can be a DG sponsored FBI/Interpol missing person search. SUDAN Chapter: 7 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: FINALE: RETURN TO TONGA Chapter: 8 Author: Owen Guthrie, Toivo Luick Hook: As the finale of this adventure it is recommended the Investigators have played most of the campaign already. With some heavy tailoring this finale could be used as the end of another campaign. Story Seeds =========== The MiB has a page of Shotgun Scenarios, one or two thought-provoking sentences for ambitious and inventive keepers to (ab)use. All of these have been sepcifically designed for DG. I found the following ones to add to that collection. BOAT THAT TIME FORGOT, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) BURNT OFFERINGS Source: Internet (Conspiracy X/Eden Publications) CTHULHU NOW Source: White Dwarf Issue 43 DEATH ON THE MOTORWAY Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) DIAL H FOR HORROR Source: White Dwarf Issue 43 DIG, THE Source: Arcane Magazine Issue 12 DRILL SITE, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) DRUG WAR, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) EVIL UNDERGROUND Source: Internet (????) Notes: Mainly designed as another way into Among the Dead campaign. FIRE BOMBS Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) IT'S LITTLE, IT'S YELLOW, IT COURSES THOUGH MY VEINS Source: Internet (Chaosium Digests) JOHN CALVIN AND THE SPIRIT OF CAPITALISM Source: Internet (Conspiracy X/Eden Publications - James Radcliffe) Notes: An interesting cult, more than a story seed but too sketchy to be a scenario without a bit of work on the GM's behalf. MORPHEUS WATCHES Source: Internet (Conspiracy X/Eden Publications) ROGUE PSYCHIC, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) STARKMOOR HALL Source: Arcane Magazine Issue ?? STOLEN DISK, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) TRAIL OF LOATHSOME SLIME Source: White Dwarf Issue 43 UFO TAPE MURDER, THE Source: Internet (Bristol Consortium Pages) Fringe information ================== These notes detail scenarios which may or may not exist, half-finished scenarios and anything else I wasn't too sure where to put. I have not had a chance to track down/read some of these scenarios so much of the information here is very sketchy. The Emerald Hammer ------------------ The Emerald Hammer is a campaign being written by a number of the members of the DG list. The Emerald Hammer is not finished yet (but is coming on brightly) hence I've included it here, other than elsewhere. You can link to the Emerald Hammer at: http://www.carnwyffa.u-net.com/eh.html Modern-day scenarios -------------------- These scenarios exist but I do not have a copy of them so cannot include much about them. ANGULAR DREAMS Source: The Last Province, Issue 1 DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE, THE Source: Challenge, Issue 62 Source: Pink Elephant Fanzine (Issue number not known) - Passing refernce in Adventurer Magazine, apparently the scenario takes place in London Docklands and Wiltshire Dales. The Unspeakable Oath apparently contains many scenarios which are suitable for DG adaptation. I suspect Joseph and the guys at A-cell could ask the good folks at Pagan Publishing for the details. Other possibilities ------------------- I've also included a couple of sub-genres which may or may not be worthy of examination and adaptation. Traditional - Various traditional Cthulhu scenarios may be adaptable to the nineties, depending on their content. Other Twenties, Victoriana and Steampunk games such as The Masque of the Red Death or Space 1889, might be worth investigating for plots, if not for full scenarios. It is beyond the scope of this document to list these scenarios. Alternatively an "early days of DG and P2" campaign is a possibility, particularly if it kicks off with the Cthulhu classic Escape from Innsmouth. Dreamlands - The Dreamlands has not changed much in sixty years. Adventures set in the Dreamlands can be run with little or no alteration, presuming they fit the tone of your campaign. Cyberthulhu - Numerous references across the internet but couldn't find a solid scenario, just scraps. There are also a couple of magazine articles on Cyberthulhu in some British Gaming magazines (try RPI, Arcane, GamesMaster International and Valkyrie) There is also a Cyberthulhu supplement for GURPS. Some ideas may be adaptable, particularly for the ENDTIMES campaign. Depending on their content some cyberpunk scenarios may be adapatable. Sci-fi-thulhu - No references AFAIK on the internet but two scenarios available. Both could be adpated by downgrading/ignoring technology and stranding the investigators in remote locations such as the Sahara Desert or Antarctica. BLOOD MOON Source: Strange Aeons (Chaosium) Author: LAST LOG, THE Source: White Dwarf Issue xx (Games Workshop) Author: Foreign scenarios ----------------- My languages skills being low and Babelfish translators not being wonderous when it comes to technical, game-oriented terminology, I didn't invest much time investigating scenarios in other tongues, although I came across plenty of evdience of net-based Cthulhu scenarios in languages other than English. Perhaps this is a job for a more cunning linguist than I?

ok so i thought i would give this ebay selling things a try. I have so much crap that i need to get rid of and dont want to put all the work into having a garage sale.
Anyways i started selling on ebay probably back in october. I sold a couple items here and there. Well latley i dug out a bunch of little things that are easy to ship so i listed a bunch of them. Surprisingly they have all been selling very rapidly.
But since i am "new to selling" or not "an established seller yet" my funds are delayed and i cannot use them until 3 days after delivery is confirmed. So i have been following all of ebays rules and printing labels through ebay for postage, makring as shipped and leaving feedback, etc.
In one section is says that funds for shipping would be made immidiate available up to $15.oo, but i havnt even seen that. And the most expensive shipping package i have done is like $5.50.
It aslo said that once you sell a certain amount of things and a certain dollar amount that it can make funds available sooner.
anyways i think i have come to the conclusing that no more that the little items are bringing and having to pay for postage out of pocket and waiting so long for my money to be available that it really isnt worth it.
Plus i noticed today it said one of my items that i shipped out monday morning was originall available for funds to be released on the 19th. I tracked it today and it said it was "out for delivery" yet the ebay status for funds availability had changed to the 21st. I was like what.
Anyways, just had to get some little irritating things out. Has anyone else had this happen or heard someone else say anything about it?

Conergy adds 13MW in Philippines
PV group Conergy has completed the 13MW phase-one of the Philippines' first utility-scale solar plant, which will be expanded to its full 22MW in the coming months.
The array – near the port of San Carlos City, in the middle part of the 7,100-island archipelago nation – is owned by San Carlos Solar Energy.
It was financed by ThomasLloyd Group and developed by local firm Bronzeoak Philippines as part of a 50MW, three-year incentive scheme to attract investment in solar that launched when the Philippines' government set a renewable target of 15GW by 2030.
Once complete, the plant will generate enough electricity in a year to power the equivalent of 13,000 local homes, Conergy said.

What were the attempts that were made to try and keep Rome from collapsing?
- print Print
- list Cite
This is an excellent question. However, it is difficult to answer, because Rome lasted for over one thousand years. In light of this, there were many times when Rome waxed and waned. Moreover, there were times when Roman went through radical transformation. For example, Rome went through three major constitutional shifts - kingship, republic, and empire. In light of this, I will assume that you are talking about the empire.
The Romans chiefly did three things to remain in power.
First, under the emperor Diocletian, Roman divide the empire into two halves under four leaders. This was called the time of the tetrarchy. This was a very important development, because Rome had to govern such a vast empire.
Second, when there were great economic problems, such as inflation due to debt and the debasing of their currency (sounds a lot like today), Diocletian passed a price edit, where he tried to stem inflation.
Finally, the Romans always sought to make their army as strong as possible. This was a constant in their history.
There where many, but they all failed. The first was persecuting the Christians. Second, was getting rid of the germanic tribes mainly the visiogoths, celts, and huns. There where instances that the barbarians starved the roman cities from within. The barbarians weren't potentially dumb. There where signs of cannibalism even during this time. The romans also tried to create allies as well this worked due to unite the system. They created a military government as well to maintain force if people rebelled. think of it as ancient marshal law. They also tried to conquer Israel and succeeded expelling the Jews from there homeland which I deem as evil in a sense, but as Nero came to power he lit his own city on fire and blamed it on the Christians. It wasn't the fault of Christians that started the Dark Ages it was a mixture of several things that lead to it. Many of the Roman stopped caring about the people so the people rebelled. second, the destroying of libraries and the destruction of schools lead to it as well. Third, Disease was a huge factor during this period and cleanliness was the fault. fourth, the merchant system became destroyed as trade with the outside world fell. Fifth, the rise of barbarism & conquest became a huge benefactor as places where tooken over again again and again. sixth, The rise of slavery began during this period as immigration became widely a trend. Last, People started losing knowledge slowly, and people became unable to read and write.

Week 2 – Let Your Manuscript Rest (Pub Sub)
Thanks for joining me in Pub Subbing your manuscript. Our commitment is to submit an article, poem, or book manuscript to a publisher on the third Friday of each month the next year. I'm glad I can count you in.
During Week One, you sent your manuscript or article (could be poems, puzzles, devotions, illustrations) to your critique group or to a professional editing service for critique. You've chosen the publisher to whom you're going to submit. You've printed out their guidelines and saved them to your computer in your submissions folder.

Week Two
1. Let your manuscript sit a week in an incubator while you do your query or cover letter, resume, and proposal.
2. If the guidelines say to write a query letter and not to send the manuscript, then write your query letter. You can go to Query Shark http://queryshark.blogspot.com/ and check out Charlotte Dillon's website http://www.charlottedillon.com/query.html/. She has a query sample, names of books, and links to online articles about query letters. Awesome resource!

a. Write a pitch for your manuscript, article, or illustration of 25 words or less and include it and include it in your cover letter. A pitch is an eye catching, heart trapping summary of your book or article. It can also be called your "Hook." Here is a great site to see a few pointers about writing a pitch: http://www.ehow.com/how_5824250_write_novel_pitch.html/. You can submit your pitch to the SCBWI list serve email group and ask them for suggestions on revisions of your pitch. Write it on a 3×5 card. If you can't get it all written on the front side of the card, it's too long.
b. Mention one book, article, or illustration similar to yours and how yours would hook readers and attract them to it.
c. If you are a member of SCBWI, mention it in your cover letter.
4. Write your resume. Here is a link to Moira Allen's walking your through a good one: http://www.writing-world.com/rights/resume.shtml
a. Include your snail mail address, phone number, email address, website, blog.
b. List all memberships in professional organizations.

5. If necessary, write your proposal. Here's a link to a site that also has videos on you-tube. http://www.bookproposalwriting.com/
When you submit, whether you submit, early, on-time, or late, print a PUB SUB 3RD FRI CERTIFICATE from my website http://www.joanyedwards.com/pubsub3rdfri.htm/ to tape on your computer. If you are late, print a RAIN CHECK I'LL SUB IN 7 DAYS to tape on your computer. You get to take it down when you submit. At the end of the year you hopefully will 12 Certificates to show your accomplishments! Publishers will have 12 examples of your great writing or illustrating.

[Photos] Wire and Natives – Clifton Center, Louisville
Because I knew the promoters, I had to keep mum for a long time that Wire, a band probably in my top five of all time and one of the few with surviving members, was coming to Louisville. At the time, it was looking like the 250 person room at Zanzabar. I felt like I was perpetually tripping for weeks. Then the show manifested in to reality, and in a larger room. The Clifton Center, in many ways, felt like the perfect milieu for a band like Wire – a theater setting worthy of the band's legacy yet musty enough to respect the band's punk ethos and history.
Louisville's Natives offered a blistering opening set, punctuated by the addition of fuckin' beastmode drumming demon William Carpenter. Wire's set was tighter and more urgent than most bands half their age, which was no surprise. They're one of the few legacy acts who've consistently innovated, and they proved such by sticking to playing mostly new material from the excellent Change Becomes Us and Red Barked Tree (and a couple of new unreleased songs). However, Wire still summoned the best of their classic '77-'79 "trifecta" with "On Returning," "Map Reference," and of course, an epic (in the actual sense of the term, not the Internet sense) encore of "Pink Flag." What a treat for the approximately 500 people who got to see one of the most important bands of all time in an intimate, well-mixed room. Promoters Cropped Out and Other Side of Life work magic, man.

Robin is to the Greenwood Gone
(Thomas Robinson)
During my brief career as an amateur-guitar teacher I have made some arrangements of classical pieces for a duo setting, with a relatively simple melody part and an accompaniment for the teacher. My aim was to start playing together as soon as possible.
In the sixteenth century, folk music and cultural music were close friends. Many a lute player had arrangements of popular folk songs in his repertoire. The same applies for Thomas Robinson, who used a ballad about Robin Hood and his adventures in Nottingham Forest as the thematic material for this lute piece.
The piece was very suitable for separation of melody and accompaniment. After some trickery with Sibelius, this duo was the result.

'Jersey Shore' Recap: The Hangover
S2:E2 Greetings fellow Jersey Shore-displaced goers! Welcome back to Miami, where the bathing suits are skimpy and there's a guy named J-420 lounging somewhere.
We began last night's episode with a continuation of what we saw last week, when Ronnie was at the club mackin' on all the grenades because he got totally wasted on pink drinks. When the guys got back into the house, Ronnie told all of them to watch carefully, as he was going to creep into Sammi's bed…even after swapping spit with all of the gnarly chicks who were greasing the poles that night. That's particularly gross, sorry. But the funniest part of the scene was as Ronnie was telling everyone his plans of coating Sammi's body with pesticides, the Situation was folding his shirts…. because that's what everyone does when they get home from the club: make their habitat nicer.
Once Ronnie was in bed with Sammi, the guys congregated and talked about how crazy he was and the Situation poignantly called it a "bad situation." Ronnie woke up the next morning, and had a few minutes to figure out if he was going to pretend like he didn't remember what he did the night before, or if he was going to admit to Sammi that he would be the cause of her future infestation of bed bugs. Once the rest of the roommates woke up, Sammi questioned what Ronnie did at the club after she left. Nobody admitted to anything, and after they put on their uniforms of black wifebeaters, sunglasses, jeans and this necklace, they drove somewhere. JWoww, Snooki and Sammi got in the other car and drove to a "tranny shop," because they had good club clothes there. JWoww found a marvelous top that might also double as a garter when she gets married one day. Snooki bought a pair of glasses with crystals on the front, that she didn't care she couldn't see out of because it's not like she'll ever be able to walk any better.
Ronnie essentially told Angelina not to tell Sammi about the events regarding the girls at the club, and because she had no friends in the house, she agreed she'd keep her mouth shut. While this was happening, the Situation poured three bottles of A1 sauce on chickens and put them in the refrigerator in such a way that the next person who went in for a pickle (hint hint) would get clobbered in chicken and brown fingerlickin' good stuff. Of course it was Snooki who introduced the chicken to the floor, and she didn't know how to clean it up. Instead, she cleaned her slippers wearing her crystallized glasses. It was like what you'd see if you cut the eyes, ears, tail and feet off of a mouse and demanded that it still run through a maze. I almost forgot: Vinny, the prospective Harvard or Yale Law School applicant, asked the Situation, who was innocently chillin' in the neon yellow Jacuzzi, what he should do with the chicken on the floor. I predict, in next week's NYMag's Approval Matrix, in the "highbrow, brilliant" corner will be this picture:
Then, Sammi and Ronnie got into a fight because Sammi was casually sitting at the phone and saw Ronnie's ex-girlfriend's number written down in a notebook that's presumably the home for pizza cheese stains. Sammi confronted Ronnie and he admitted he had spoke to his ex two weeks ago. While that was going on, Snooki confronted Angelina about "being on [her] shit so hard," and how she was talking smack about her girls, her boyfriend, or her family when she was in Long Island. JWoww stepped in talking like the Godfather to defend Snooki AND to yell about how Angelina was mouthing off to her friends, J-420 (YES!) and Joey Yanks. The Situation informed us even though she's a girl, JWoww does more damage than a wrecking ball when provoked. You guys, when this television show is finally over, there will be no point to watch television OR have eyes anymore. There just won't be any point.
Sammi apologized to Ronnie for lashing out about the ex-girlfriend thing, and Ronnie admitted that when he talked to her, his ex-girlfriend encouraged him to try and work things out with Sammi. Ronnie evoked his Shakespearean cliff notes and maintained Sammi would be his downfall. They agreed to work on things, and Sammi accompanied Ronnie to get a tattoo because he wanted to feel some pain. Isn't it like that saying, "never go grocery shopping when you're hungry?" Isn't getting a tattoo when you're trying to figure out what to do with your ex that you live with kind of the same thing? No? At least that's the code I live by.
That night everyone went out and Angelina got drunk to try and forget how everyone in the house hates her and it would have been better for her to stay in Long Island talking to J-420. Pauly D made out with a married woman, and got her number. Angelina tried to subtly voice her disapproval to Pauly D over this, but he didn't care because married girls still know how to fight clean and f**k dirty. This upset her and when they got back to the house, she smacked him for "not understanding" that she loved him and wanted to marry him. Pauly D yelled and yelled that from this point forward (this point right here in the sand – no not that one, this one. Look over here you can't see it from there, well put on your glasses then!), Angelina had nobody in the house that liked her.
So will Angelina leave next week? No. Should she? No. Do I want her to? No, not really, because it's fun to watch her talk about how classy she is when she's drinking out of a plastic cup and her skirt is hiked up to her elbows. Pure pleasure.

WATCH: Extraordinary frozen waterfall the width of football pitch as China freezes
YOU think it's ball clenchingly cold here – but spare a thought for the freezing folk of China where temperatures have been plunging to frightening new lows.
Highways, cars and even waterfalls are frozen stiff – like this one in in northern China.
The amazing site has been drawing frost bitten crowds to the Shanxi capital Taiyuan.
The winter wonderland was made possible by temperatures dipping below -15 degrees celsius.
The mesmerising drone footage even shows usually tumbling water turned into walls of ice.
An errie silence fills an area usually alive with the crashing sound of loud thunderous falls.
Meanwhile a raft of severe weather warnings have been issued by the government right here in the UK, with up to SIX inches of snow predicted to come in areas of high ground.
Public Health England is braced if worse is to come, saying any significant deteriorations could be LETHAL.
Bitter wintry showers are predicted for the North East, with an amber severe weather warning in place.

I do not know how much technical effort would be required to generate a windows live cd yet. From my personal windows and ms experience I would say that there are many issues to solve, technical and non technical. Think about required drivers for graphics and network drivers and so on, which have to be available on the live cd. An additional important question is: Is this the way we like to go ? Do we like to propagate the windows os to linux users instead of propagation kde application to present windows users ? Present windows user do not need a live cd, they only need a kde installation. To show kde applications to linux users, applications on a pure iso cd could be started under wine. In fact winetricks, the wine application installer, supports already kdewin net installer since a few years. To be able to use kde applications on a given linux distribution, a dedicated install script or rpm/dpkg/other package on the cd may install wine if not present and installs/link kde applications into this wine installation. Because kdewin-installer is able to install kde application from a local source, it could be used to install kde apps from cd. This lead to an additional option: Create a kde based linux live cd having an iso part containing windows kde packages or installation. This would have the benefit to show windows users the goodness of kde installations and optional the same one on a real linux system. >> What kind of amount you are thinking of ?

text: hey all -- happy new year -- Just an update on a Tecumseh OHV17 compression relief problem I posted a few months back. Well I finally had time to tear into it and replace the compression relief cam. As restorob indicated it reallly wasnt that hard of a job. Thanks for your help!!! I got it all assembled but now have carb issues ( i suspect that b/c it sat dry for 6 months something is now "stuck' closed). The only way to get it to run is by dumping gas directly into the carb. She will fire right up and only burn that gas and then dies. The carb has a fuel shut off solenoid attached to the bowl. I unscrewed it and as expected gas flowed out. Is there any way to test these solenoids to see if that is the problem? Or would you suspect that the float is stuck in the closed position at this point. Anyone have a schematic of this type of carb???? Many thanks- dave Tecunseh XL/C 17hp OHV mod OHV17 204605B (h) fam STP 490UIG2RA DOM 7346S

Brad, sorry if reply 3 is in bad taste. Was meant to be funny.
hmmm... so who do we believe???????
I'm getting the impression Brad was genuinely unaware that his behavior could really mess up some people's day. It's easy to be unaware of how your actions look to people with a different perspective, particularly when you have a circle of friends who have no problem with it. That doesn't justify her response, but it does serve as a reminder that maintaining an overall positive working environment means you can't just focus on the attitudes of your close friends.
There are upsides to caring about a more diverse group of people though - for one thing, they might catch mistakes you would have missed.
I don't know if I would classify it quite like that.
I talk more about it here: http://www.littletinyfrogs.com/article/430919/No_its_not_up_to_everyone_else_to_adapt_to_you
I'm seeing a bunch of people in a pub, or bar, having a drink or two in a relaxed atmosphere. In such a venue off hand remarks are almost always made and most times shrugged off. Sometimes a statement is taken to heart regardless of what was said. It happens. Been there...done that. Was someone a little tipsy? Its possible. Was there strain and worry about the upcoming dinner and what was to be discussed? That too is possible. IMO...such remarks can and do strike home. Since an apology was made it should have ended there but didn't for whatever reason. That it escalated beyond that is regrettable. It is my hope that it can be resolved without any further animosity. Despite Brad's admission of 'being who he is' that should have been taken into account. Each person should be accepted for who they are not what they are. Seems to me that some things were taken out of context. We're only human you know.

CNET Editors' Review
We review a lot of programs, and it's not often that we find one that really blows us away. What You Own Home Inventory is one of those rare programs, the cream of the crop…
The program's interface is fantastic, with a sleek, intuitive design. Users enter the rooms in their home and then the contents of each room, listing the purchase price, replacement price, and other relevant details. For each item users can include an image, receipt, or other attachment. Rooms are organized alphabetically, and users can click on each one to see a detailed list of its contents. We loved that the program comes with a Donation Room, where users can move items that they plan to donate; this makes it incredibly easy for users to keep track of charitable giving, especially for tax purposes. In addition to the view provided by the program, users can also print several reports, including a household summary, detailed inventory by room, detailed inventory by category, or list of images or receipts. The program is incredibly easy to use and makes the potentially overwhelming task of compiling a home inventory a breeze. If the program has any drawbacks it's the lack of Help file, but we found no need for it. Even with that flaw, it's easily among the best programs we've seen.
What You Own Home Inventory is free. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We highly recommend this program to all users.

Who cares about ongoing violence in Syria? Apparently, The Onion, for one. Recently they ran a piece titled "The 6 Best Dresses At The Golden Globes" where, under pictures of the civil war going on in Syria, are captions mimicking the banal commentary of fashion magazines and celebrity news. While some have criticized The Onion for having gone too far or for making jokes with a political agenda, the piece at least causes us to question our society's values.
What does it say about us when irony and sarcasm are the only ways to make a point, when the only media capable of providing honest cultural commentary are comedic magazines and faux-news television shows?
Is it that other news doesn't cover important events or that we, as consumers, demand such insipid drivel? To the first half of the question the answer is both yes and no. While such events are covered, it is often difficult to find clear and reliable coverage of things happening outside of the US—especially for those who have not been taught where to look. The answer to the second half is, at best, cyclical: we demand what we are fed, which creates a market and higher demand. Often, catering to the lowest common denominator is cheapest and easiest—and who wants to think about serious issues after an 8+ hour day?
Still, there is the question of why it is so often easier to get a point across with ironic humor than by stating it directly. One argument is that, culturally, we have been educated against taking anything seriously because in doing so we risk exposing ourselves to criticism. This argument originates from the shift that some refer to as New Sincerity—a reaction in literature, film, and music against the irony and cynicism that we tend to associate with postmodernism.
However, while offering something other than ironic detachment, writers such as David Foster Wallace don't offer adequate answers about why and how our culture produces such subjectivities or how the dominant modes of production might be responsible for our detached perspectives. The best we get is a suggestion that cynicism and apathy might be intentionally manufactured, what a They wants us to feel, so that even though we might say or feel "Shit is Fucked Up and Bullshit," we say "…So Fuck It" instead of taking it to the logical conclusion of "…So Let's Fuck Shit Up."
I looked up Fox's The ½ Hour News Hour on YouTube to remind myself why the show was such a failure. Was it the predictable jokes based on stereotypes and low blows, or was it that the jokes so blatantly followed a political agenda that they seemed forced? I think it is more than that; the show flopped even with its intended audience. But why? One reason—but not the only—might be that the Left is lacking in the sincerity that the Right has, that we revert to, or hide behind, humor as means of coping instead of allowing the problems we see to affect and mobilize us.
A friend of mine asked whether The Onion was tending towards Situationalism with this article. Détournement is an anti-advertisement technique used by people associated with the movement that turns "expressions of the capitalist system and its media culture against itself" in hopes of making apparent the disparity between what is said and what is. Problematically, even this practice has been appropriated by the capitalist system (I can't help but remember this commercial).
The article may be poignant, but just pointing out the absurdities of our culture isn't enough—society's contradictions won't resolve themselves. That some thought the piece went too far or was inappropriate demonstrates that détournement is still capable of getting attention; it's more important, however, to decide our next step.

congrats! Have you had it out to beta readers yet?
titles can be difficult, and i've heard tell that agents and/or publishers can (or will) help determine those. For my current novel, it took me a long time to choose The Conscripted. It's the perfect word, but I'm not certain that it's a good title. *shrug*

I haven't had anyone looking at it yet. I suspect I'm still at the stage where I want to fix all the things that I can see wrong with it before people give me more. Also, my friend Adam, who might well have been my first port of call in that regard, has wandered off, so I'll have to think about who else I can pester.

Õîááèò: Íåæäàííîå ïóòåøåñòâèå
The Lakers are glad to have Mike D'Antoni coaching the team despite his reconstructed right knee. That much is clear.
D'Antoni, though, isn't seeing things clearly for the Lakers until Steve Nash comes back in his leg fracture, and that might take until next month. That's how much D'Antoni's Lakers will be transformed by Nash.
D'Antoni is glad to have Kobe Bryant to rely on for pick-and-roll creativity, especially in sets with Pau Gasol, but much of the development will come when Nash gets out there and uses his unique vision that D'Antoni can't even imagine.
"Our offense when Steve Nash runs it should look a little bit different," D'Antoni said Wednesday. "He did it the best, and I'm looking forward to that."
For example, D'Antoni raved about how useful Gasol is — and so far he has showed an ability to hit open jumpers or move the ball to a more open shooter besides his traditional post-up work — but Gasol's role will change when Nash is in charge.
"When Steve comes back, there'll be some different schemes put in that use his (Gasol's) talents," D'Antoni said.
D'Antoni resorted to a new lineup in the fourth quarter Wednesday night in Sacramento, playing Bryant as more than the de facto point guard — benching both Darius Morris and Chris Duhon to play Bryant in the backcourt with Jodie Meeks, who had his hottest stretch as a Laker with 15 points in 15 minutes. The Lakers' defense suffered, however.
It's not possible for Bryant to continue handling the ball this much when Nash is handling the ball as much as he will, but D'Antoni isn't expecting a major drop-off in Bryant's productivity either. D'Antoni said Bryant's work should be "enhanced" by Nash.
The most obvious victims of Nash's return (and that of backup point guard Steve Blake from his abdominal strain) are third and fourth point guards Duhon and Morris. But they might be able to earn some court time through their defense, even though Duhon has struggled at that end under Mike Brown.
Morris gives the Lakers some youth and speed, which they largely lack, and D'Antoni said about him: "He's 6-5, he's long, he can get into people, he's very strong defensively."

An Astounding Car
User review on Audi Q5 written by Sanaya on 25 May 2015
Sanaya's review on Audi Q5 30 TDI Sports Edition
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 1024
- Pros: Acceleration
- Cons: Ground Clearence
Lately, I got an opportunity to sit at the wheel of the 3.0 TDI Quattro Premium Plus variant of Audi Q5 owned by one of my colleagues. I really got impressed with the extended comfort provided by this vehicle while driving and the smooth steering made the entire remuneration fluidic. Not only its astonishing acceleration, but also the active and instant braking mechanism lets you enjoy a worry free drive. Its braking becomes more powerful in the presence of ABS and EBD. Overall, it is a safe car from all point of views.

"the hectic, unhealthy beauty of a consumptive"
by Blakeney
Tuberculosis used to be known as Consumption, due to the way the illness 'consumes' its victims. The pervasive nature of the disease, and the melancholic, slow demise of the sufferer, led to a romanticism of it during the 19th Century. It was thought to be a cause of almost a third of all deaths in Paris during this time; such high figures demonstrate how the culture surrounding the illness could naturally come about. Some people believed that the suffering involved gave the patient a brief but potent capacity for creativity, and that it made women more beautiful. It is also worth noting here that in the frightened, superstitious days before medical knowledge, many people mistook tuberculosis as evidence for vampirism. This is, in a way, understandable, as the symptoms include weightloss, deathly pale skin, a hacking, bloody cough and a low body temperature. The effects on sinuses can create watery, light sensitive eyes, and the constant exhaustion appeared to be proof that the person in question had been out all night getting up to no good. The fact that the disease is highly contagious, but very slow to progress into severity, was thought to show that one member of a family or group was 'feeding' on the others, gradually draining them of life.

Brown looks at positives
Kelly Brown insists Scotland can be optimistic about their chances for the RBS Six Nations despite the defeat to France.
Last Updated: 07/02/11 9:16am
Scotland No.8 Kelly Brown insists his team-mates can be optimistic about their chances for the RBS Six Nations despite their defeat to France.
Scotland showed glimpses of magic at the Stade de France as they scored three tries before going down 34-21 to Les Bleus.
And Brown, who scored one of those tries alongside captain Alastair Kellock and Sean Lamont, believes there are plenty of positives to take out of the defeat.
Wales are next up for the Scots on Saturday at Murrayfield and Brown said: "There's a bit of frustration there; we played some very, very good stuff.
"Our attack at times was very good but we turned over too much ball and the French took full advantage.
"We take confidence from the things that went well and we look forward to Wales next week.
"We scored three tries in Paris and there's not many sides that come here and do that.
"We take confidence from that but we've got to look to tighten up on the things we need to tighten up on."

As adults, we sometimes underestimate how grown-up some children can be. We forget that they can be easily taught to perform certain tasks, and to respond in emergency situations if needed. They understand, as much as we do, that some events require a more urgent response than others: this is when they are able to rise to the occasion, and prove that they are more mature than their age suggests.
Sawyer Incontro is one of those children whom his mother describes as more mature and adult than others his age. And he had the chance to prove himself when his 6-months-pregnant mother, who has a blood condition, suddenly collapsed on the bathroom floor when they were home alone.
And this was the second time the mom collapsed. The first time, Sawyer called her boyfriend, not knowing what else to do.
Since then, the couple taught the 6-year-old how to call 911, when, and what to say on the phone. They hung the instructions on the fridge, hoping that he wouldn't have to use them.
The little boy describes the scary ordeal: he says that he heard his mother collapse behind the closed door of the bathroom, and when she didn't respond, he knew what to do.
Authorities arrived just in time to see Sawyer standing on the front step, waiting for them, phone in hand.
The doctors were able to get to the mother and her unborn daughter in time, and both are doing just fine.
Please SHARE to applaud Irving for his intuitive actions!

That sounds like the birth center I used too, I loved it! It's hard to go back to a doctor's office after you have had an experience like that. I agree, it's sad how much technology has taken over in pregnancy and birth. Nurses and doctors are now trained to use machines, they don't even know how to do anything the old fashioned way.
I wish you lived closer Cheryl, I know how hard it is not have any friends with the same parenting style.
