Caroline Castrucci is going to have more time for family and chocolate eggs this Easter, partly because the gregarious fashion maven and vice-president of Laurysen Kitchens has a sprawling, new home on the western city limits and a dressing room that is bigger than most bedrooms.
The dressing room, which measures a generous 15 by 15 feet or 4.6 by 4.6 metres for metric folks, was on the top of her requisite wish list before construction began on the two-storey home she shares with her busy family and husband, Giuseppe.
Having an organized walk-in dressing room with all her clothes in one place has taken a load off her shoulders -- literally.
"I used to take my summer clothes down (to the basement) in late fall and then in spring, after Easter, I would haul them back up," says Castrucci, who also owns Klozets by Laurysen. "As the kids got older, they were helping me."
Dressing rooms, whether large and luxurious or small and practical, are a must-have in many new and renovated homes.
'Touted as the new retreat, glamorous home decor magazines pump them up like super models on the cover of Vogue.
Be warned, it takes more than a shiny chandelier, a rack or ottoman to design a successful dressing room.
The trick to great design is where the homeowner can clearly see all their things in front of them, says California Closet owner Lianne Deckelbaum.
"When stuff is in drawers, you don't see it," says Deckelbaum, who suggests a mini makeover is as easy as using the same hangers to give a clean, unified look. "We tend to use our things more when they are all in one visual space. When you have a closet that is really, really deep, and you do a change of season -- then you find things. You are like 'oh, I would have worn that if I would have seen it.'"
Designer June Fillmore with Klozets by Laurysen says it's easy to find inspiration in a clothing store and see how they display merchandise. The key is where everything has its place, making it simple to choose an outfit.
"It's exactly like going into Banana Republic or the Gap," says Fillmore. "You walk in and see everything laid out in front, so you can see all your beautiful pairs of shoes on display. You can see all the beautiful things and all the sweaters and all the t-shirts stacked. It will save time in the morning when you get ready instead of hunting for things."
Deckelbaum suggests people should have less space dedicated to full length hanging clothes, and a higher percentage to double hanging closets because we wear more separates, including shirts, skirts and blouses, than fancy full length gowns.
On the shoe front, it's important to point the toes outward -- whether on a shoe rack or on the floor -- so you can see what you have.
That's not a problem for Castrucci. As soon as you walk into her organized dressing room, there's no missing her colour-
co-ordinated wall of shoe candy. She has 150 pairs displayed on angled shelves -- from her sensible black and brown flats to flashy giraffe boots and lime green platforms.PAGEBREAK
Then there's the pull-out folding table, a valet rack for dry cleaning and purse nooks help her keep her dressing room primed no matter the business or social outing. And since it is an open-concept design, Castrucci has carefully co-ordinated all her clothing, shoes and bags by colour.
"I really don't look for anything," says Castrucci, while standing in front of a three-way mirror. "This morning, my purple shirt was with other purple shirts, so I went boom, right to the spot."
Being organized is key because the mother of three who is up by 6 a.m. every morning and between organizing hockey and basketball and music lessons, she doesn't have time to spare.
"I come in, I put my clothes on, I put my make-up on, my husband wakes up the kids, and while he's doing his stuff, I am rallying the troops and making myself coffee."
Mary Taggart gets this. With four kids, two dogs and her role as editor of Ottawa at Home magazine, the vibrant woman, who has also overseen the interior design of Tamarack's model homes, sees her dressing room as an organized retreat to start the day.
Unlike Castrucci's dark cherry cabinets, Taggart's dressing room is subdued, with a light, feminine flare.
The room is centred around a beautiful island -- a popular dressing room feature -- with smaller drawers for socks, bathing suits and lingerie. Crisp, white cupboards surround the space, hiding away her eclectic wardrobe.
"I know where everything is and I feel good walking into the dressing room," says Taggart. "My life is really busy and I need things calm and not chaotic."
There are working windows over the cupboards that allow air to circulate and light to bounce off the crystal chandeliers found at Architectural Antiques on Richmond Road.
The floor is covered in a natural oat wool sisal carpet that is maintenance free and environmentally friendly, but also comfortable during her morning routines.
"A carpet in a closet is nice because when you get up in the morning it's softer and warmer," says Taggart. "Some people put in hardwood, but I like the warmth, the cushioning."
Beautiful walk-in closets have been a large part of IKEA's recent marketing campaigns. In one TV commercial a couple is featured getting dressed, with the voiceover suggesting they'd rip out each other's hair if it wasn't for the neat cupboards.
"Making the most of space in a home is very important to people today," says Errin Stone, public relations and environmental co-ordinator for IKEA Ottawa. "Storing and organizing solutions are prominent in interior decorating magazines and TV shows. People want to know how to create the best solution for their homes."
PAX wardrobes are hot products -- starting at $199 for a 100 by 201 centimetre unit that can be assembled into a customized system boasting a range of door styles from modern to country, solid or glass, sliding or hinged -- all with pullout mirrors, tie racks, and felt-lined jewelry organizers.
The final price for a wall of closets to a customized dressing room ranges from a few thousand dollars to the cost of a kitchen, depending on the finishings. But Castrucci stresses you don't have to rip out a bedroom to increase storage space.PAGEBREAK
"You can take a five-foot (1.5 metres) closet and easily double your storage space, if not more, in a matter of an hour or two with a closet system."
One thing Castrucci will not be doing is rearranging her closets this Easter weekend. She'll be enjoying all that comes with family celebrations. Not to mention she'll know what to wear.
"I was spending days rearranging the closet," says Castrucci, who loves fashion. "I just did not want to do that again. I wanted all my clothes, for all seasons, in the one room so I could see what I have.
"Needless to say, I didn't go shopping for a while."

Anderson (California)
Anderson [4] is in Shasta County in California.
Get in[edit]
By car[edit]
By car is currently the cheapest way to go to Anderson. There are two major roads to take: Interstate 5 and California State Highway 273. The fastest way is, by far, I-5 because I-5 is much straighter and CA-273 has construction work on it a lot. However, CA-273 runs along and frequently connects with a major industrial strip called Frontage Road. If you wish to go to one of these places along it on the way, be prepared for a slow ride along CA-273.
By bus[edit]
There is only one bus line that goes into Anderson: RABA, from Redding in the north.
Get around[edit]
Anderson is a small town, so it is wise to just drive.

The major shopping area in Anderson is the Factory Outlets.
Factory Outlets[edit]
There is also a California Welcome center at the very south end, and Prime 11 Cinemas is located right across from the side that most of the stores are on.
Prime 11 Cinemas[edit]
This is one of the nicer movie theaters in the Redding-Anderson area. While not as big as some of the others, it plays most mainstream movies as well as the occasional midnight showing or matinee. Many shows that have 3D showings in other theaters don't in this one, so you may want to go to Redding to do that. [6]

Many who migrated from the rural South were escaping the direst conditions. During the 1930s, sharecroppers and tenants were among the poorest Americans, earning incomes far below the national average. In the mid-1930s, the median household income in the United States was $1,500; a study of employed sharecroppers in four Southern states found the average income of black families to be $294.

Good work guys! It was entertaining, educational and engrossing as usual. It's great to see Cannibal Holocaust receive a proper treatment rather than being dismissed as "just another trashy horror movie" as has happened so often before. As with your other podcasts this has made me want to go out and check out movies that I've not seen before (Who Can Kill A Child? and Maximum Overdrive) and get the ones I have seen before on dvd (cannibal holocaust uncut).
Personally I just can't give Tom Green that much credit, for me if you come out of a movie thinking it was unentertaining then even if you learn afterwards that the talent behind the film was aiming for something else that doesn't change the fact that you were not entertained by the film.

It's a bit of a sticky problem, unless you are interested in the mechanics of comedy and performance art then the movie is more than a bit of a write-off (exception being that it is just so out there, it has some sort of weird surreal energy going on)..

I noticed that I was pretty quiet for much of this episode. I was much more content just listening to the guys defend these films (and making good points) more than anything else.
While Cannibal Holocaust is technically really well done, I think Sean's Rambo comparison is right on. It looks good and is extremely well put together, but in the end, it's just a bunch of unlikeable, unrelatable, uninteresting and unimportant characters that just do a bunch of gross shit to shock the audience. I walked away feeling empty and not really caring about the picture as a piece of "art." Maybe this is why I hate other films that followed in its footsteps (Blair Witch, Hostel, Cannibal Ferox, etc.).
Same goes for FGF. It's funny in places, but ultimately it's just a guy being an idiot. If you dig that, fine. If you don't, then it's a waste of 90 minutes.

Just previewing the show and noticed that I said WHO CAN KILL A CHILD is another italian horror film. Ooops. It's Spanish, and quite obviously so. A slip of the tongue.

But a really good movie. One I quite enjoyed - more than either of these films discussed.

I think my work would get pretty annoyed if I threw my computer across the room. ;)
I don't have too much to say about the movies this month since I haven't seen either of them.
I really would like to hear you guys go over Exterminating Angel (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056732/)

You need to do your homework BEFORE the show is recorded John.

John - so long as you don't make a mistake and rent "Exterminating Angels" instead. Slip of the S and get a totally different (I assume) film. And not a very good one to boot...

Goon says:
To me with FGF, its like this:
If you could have, would you have gone to an Andy Kaufman show where he was being Tony Clifton, doing everything he could do to be obnoxious, unlikeable, mixing entertainment with intentional "unentertainment"
hell yeah I would. You know, FGF for me works on multiple levels. On one level I genuinely enjoy Tom Green's bizarre antics, and that INCLUDES the repetition - its kind of the point. With Tom he says things like "I'm enjoying this drink. I like how this drink tastes. The drink is good because I'm enjoying it" - I mean that's just awesome for me, and certainly not the same as when say, Dane Cook, has to fucking repeat his punchline for 4 minutes and milk it for all its worth, turning a mediocre 45 minute comedy album into an awful 2 disc set...
As for the meta stuff, its pretty easy to explain. Aside from looking at the mechanics and analogies and how amazing it is it got made, theres the fact that Tom Green is a prankster - in a scripted film he can't prank the other characters like he did on his show, so what do you do? Prank the audience. I was sitting in the theater watching this seeing people get frustrated, and THATS entertaining...
...this is why the DVD has an audience reaction track - they start out laughing, theres a segment where theres shocked reactions, and then for most of the rest of the film, its just silence. why? the ones making the noise walked out.
Anyways, as much as I'm infinitely entertained by FGF, I accept that some people aren't going to get it - its part of the point that X percentage wont. That said, I think when making it Tom expected more people to understand what he was doing with this film. If it weren't for his reputation I think more people would have, however if it werent for his reputation they would have never let him get away with it in the first place.
Kurt, if you havent, check out the commentary track. its one of few commentary tracks I'd listen to more than once.
- February 23, 2008 at 8:22 AM
- Andrew James said...
Hey Goon, I would love to watch the commentary track on this. I assume it is Green?
As to your comments, I think they are valid and either you get it or you don't. Now that I "get" the joke, that still doesn't mean I'm entertained by it or had fun. I don't mind being manipulated (I think that is what a film is supposed to do). But I do mind being pranked or fucked with for the enjoyment of the film maker. Aren't films supposed to entertain us; not entertain the maker?
Maybe that's just me and maybe the very fact that you know Green is entertaining himself by messing with us (or the studio) is entertaining to some - just not me.
- February 23, 2008 at 9:19 AM
- Andrew James said...
And I'd like to reiterate one more time - while I can't give the movie a positive review, nor would I really recommend it to anyone, I did laugh out loud several times - and fairly hard. This is much more than most comedies give me in the average year.
The only 2 movies that really had me laughing (intentionally) at all in '07 was Superbad and Hot Fuzz (or technically 3 films if you count "Blood Car").
- February 23, 2008 at 9:23 AM
"Aren't films supposed to entertain us; not entertain the maker?"
Like I said, I was completely entertained - but without X percentage of people being unentertained, those of us who know what he's doing are LESS entertained. its give and take.
in order to get my omelet, Green has to break a few eggs, that being the patience of X % of the audience.
as to your statement, i think if you applied your statement to music... less people would agree. We more easily accept that music is art and what they produce has to be what THEY want to do, and we are either their audience or not. I think of film enough as art to give people, especially someone as bizarre as Green was being at the time this was released, that same benefit... if someone tells me its Green's "job" to entertain them, well all I can say is you chose to see it, and while since you paid you have as much right to criticize as anyone else, to me its like someone buying a Captain Beefheart album and saying its crap/too weird. I think its certainly fair to say with FGF it comes to a matter of taste vs. most other movies which could be seen as more objectively bad..
I'm not using 'artists intentions' as a way to justify the film. (If i did I'd have to give free pass to artists who just splash a dot in a corner of a 50 foot canvas and say they're done), I'm just pointing out that when you have as many awkward, bizarre, pranking intentions as Green, its a little harder to come down on him for being entertaining or not the same way you would for say, Joe Dirt.
..and yes, the commentary is Green, which is a mix of regular commentary of whats happening on screen/how it was made, which bluntly addressing its failure with critics, specifically the deal with EW who gave him the harshest criticisms, even calling him "ugly".

@Marina - I actually have the movie Exterminating Angels sitting around waiting to be watched. I'm sure its going to be terrible but I love watching movies that play with sexuality. Which is the excuse I'm going to go with for just watching Spiderbabe. :)
@Andrew - I was just too busy to catch Freddy Got Fingered and Cannibal Holicaust or for that matter Lady in the Water. Other than those though I've been keeping up.
- February 26, 2008 at 10:48 AM
- Marina said...
John - except that the sexuality in that film is so forced it's more uncomfortable to watch than hot. At no point did I, or the husband for that matter, think it was sensual. Just bad.

Really enjoyed your reviews of Cannibal Holocaust and was ecstatic to hear someone else defending FGF. Not surprisingly a lot of college students have taken to the film recently and I do hear it being seriously discussed far more often now. Green has not only cited Kaufman as an influence, but you can see another of his favourites, Monty Python, has a huge influence as well. Who wasn't disgusted by Mr. Creole, and Meaning of Life is one of the most subversive and mean spirited comedies ever made (I love it). And Python loved rubbing peoples nose in filth. In making this film, Green is basically giving the finger to all things mainstream, formulaic and stale and he was immediately punished by critics who make a living off the Hollywood formula films and the studios alike. Also, I don't find one moment of FGF unentertaining. I'm laughing my ass of at, "I'm a farmer! Look at me!", "You made your daddy proud" and "I saved the day". Very funny stuff. And Cannibal Holocaust is a masterpiece. As a sidenote, Sergio Leone was also a big fan of the film.
Lastly, my only complaint was all the coughing an sniffling. With the exception of someone eating during a podcast, these things are guaranteed to turn my stomach and I had a really tough time getting through it. Maybe it was to coincide with the gross out theme? It worked.
Anyway, great job and I look forward to your next podcast.

- Kurt Halfyard said...
Coughing and Sniffling was Jay's viral outbreak which he braved thru to join the table. (although an interesting rationalization, Guitarbrother, it was unintended! ;)
I believe (as I've read somewhere, maybe the wikipedia page or disc commentary) that Leone actually warned Deodato what was like to happen due to the highly realistic verite approach used in the film. And he was right. Although the film remains what it is in part due to the controversy...
- March 2, 2008 at 10:13 AM
- guitarbrother said...
If you have the Cannibal Holocaust Book (which I have in storage somewhere) I think they may even reprint the letter Leone sent Deodato. Now we just need a cinema legend to love FGF and maybe folks will get off our backs for liking that too.

I remember watching "Freddy Got Fingered" and thinking that I'd just seen Tom Green commit career suicide in front of me. There's a strong whiff of self-destruction in that movie. The baby scene is jaw-dropping. I couldn't really call it a funny movie but it is one of a kind. I really enjoyed your comments on that picture, as well as your discussion about "Little Children." Keep up the good work.

I'm obviously late to this, but great podcast. Actually, great half-cast, because i only listened to the second half, having not seen cannibal holocaust. i love freddy got fingered, and the thoughts on the innovation of it.
Tom Green made a parodical character out of the characters will ferrell and adam sandler and chris farley have made extremely popular. That's what i think is so great about this movie and, in general, his career.
Also, I don't know if this is intentional at all, but when the house falls around Tom, him standing in the path of the window, I can only think of Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr. Not a whole lot in common between these two comedians, but I just like that connection.
- October 23, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Cannibal Holocaust is probably the funniest movie ever made!It also made me masturbate several times...what a great film of utter silliness!!! Some day I hope to see a really gory movie.

All but the latter sound yummy. And yes it is cold here. not used to more that a few cold night and cool days per year.
Most unfortunately, it's 70 degrees where I am in South Carolina... wish it was snowing though!
It's 52F at 24:43UTC (Do your time conversions - I'm GMT-5)in zip 02909.
So not freezing by a long shot. And in fact looking forward toward the week, 55F, 42F, 43F, 44F. It's shaping up to be the winter that wasn't in Providence. Again!
Well I live in HI, so it's not cold out, but on rainy, dark days I totally want soup. I've pinned this for those days.
These look fantastic, especially the minnestrone. That one's going on next week's menu for sure! Possibly the chicken noodle too. Thanks so much, Chef John. This is an awesome blog. :-)
Hi Chef,
It was another day of boring, sunny, mild weather here on Marco Island...(SW Florida) I certainly wouldn't mind some cooler weather for a change.
Another note, I'm kinda partial to Fabada soup... at least that's what it says on the label.
It's got white beans, chorizo, bacon, morcilla, along with ground pork in it along with various other delicious flavors.
Would you happen to have a comparable soup in your kitchen repertoire that you might wanna share?
Hello Chef John,
First thanks for the years of great recipes :) I've used your site for 3 years and have done about 30 of your recipes.
There is one recipe I'm having an issue with and I think it is because of a mistake on the site. The Moussaka Burger, I run into issues with making the rue for the cheese sauce. I think the Olive Oil and Flour portions are off. If you watch the video it looks like there is a lot more floor than what you claim on your site.
I have to spend a good amount of time adjusting the Olive to Flour ratio in order to get the rue right. It is a pain :(
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
That does look like 2 tbsp of flour not one. I updated the recipe. Very strange no one had complained before! How much are you using after testing?
I have several 1 lb bags of lump crab meat in my freezer (a gift from a relative that lives in Washington on the Columbia River that catches, cooks and picks the crabs - I love that guy!) I remembered you had a great crab cake recipe (which I am making tonight) and came to your site to look it up. Totally got sidetracked by these wonderful soup recipes. I make the mushroom soup about once a week in the winter but now I must make the bumblebee soup - sounds totally delicious. Hm, got any good soup recipes with crab?
Thanks Chef John,
I believe I used four tablespoons of flour and two olive oil. I doubled the cheese and the milk. It would come out decent, but I usually had too much cheese sauce.
I will try your suggestion of 1 tbsp of Olive Oil and 2 tbsp of Flour. I think it should work, it is the same ratio that I was using but would make less cheese sauce.
@Dr. P ... Chef John did one in the past:
A Spicy Tomato Crab Bisque for When You Need to Think Fast
Ah, I see you changed the Olive oil portion as well. ok, I'll try
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flour
I'm making the burgers tonight! Can't wait to see if this solves my problem :)
Thanks Chef John. I've been in a soup making mood (Feel better Asian Chicken soup and French Onion) lately and can't wait to try these. First up will be cream of mushroom, but first that amazing goulash!
It is winter season is going on our area. Hot soup in winter increases the enjoyment of the day. There are different type of soup here in this post I keep this on my heart for must try.
It's hot here in Puerto Rico and if I wait until it's cold to have a soup it will never happen....and I love soup! I just eat it in front of a fan and I take a cold bath before and after I eat it.

You'll need to check Ireland's visa and passport requirements before you begin your visit
Of course we'll say céad míle fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes) when you arrive in Ireland. But just after that, we'll probably ask you for your passport. Politely, of course. There are different requirements for different nationalities so here's what you need to know.
To enter the Republic or Northern Ireland, you need a valid passport. While e-passports are commonly used now, they are not a necessity to enter Ireland. UK citizens do not require a passport to enter Ireland, but carriers by air or sea require some form of identification with a photograph (usually either a passport or driving license with photo).
EU citizens are required to have a passport or national identity card; while citizens of all other countries must have a valid passport. ALWAYS check what form of ID is required with your individual airline, ferry company or travel agent before traveling.
Citizens of the EEA member states (the 27 countries of the European Union EU, together with Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) and many other countries including USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand do not require visas to gain entry to Republic or Northern Ireland. The full list of countries whose citizens do NOT require a visa can be found here.
Citizens of all other countries should contact their local Irish Embassy/Consulate prior to traveling to the Republic of Ireland, and visitors to Northern Ireland should contact their local British Embassy/High Commission or Consular Office. Irish visa information can be found on the Department of Foreign Affairs website and citizens information website, and information on the UK (for visiting Northern Ireland) can be found on the Home Office website.
From July 2012 extending for a period of four years, tourists from 14 nations that previously did require a visa to holiday in the Republic will not need a separate Irish visa if they have a short-term UK visa. Check here for a list of the countries able to avail of this visa waiver scheme.

Lime isn't something I've used in my baking before, and I don't know why as I love it. It has a fruity, citrus zing to it but without the sour harshness of lemon. I'd bought a bag of limes for Christmas in case I needed them for cocktails....I buy a bag of limes every Christmas for this purpose and always end up throwing them away - but not this time! I'm not sure why I think the success of Christmas hinges on me having a bag of limes in my fridge, but it does.
I thought this cake was perfect for that post Christmas and New Year "I need to eat more healthily but can't think of a life without cake" period that lasts about 2 weeks (ok, ok – it lasts about 2 minutes).
Admittedly, the cake isn't stunning to look at but the syrup makes it juicy and soft and comforting – perfect for this horrid cold snap we're enduring. Syrup cakes get better and better with time as the flavour of the syrup is absorbed into the sponge and matures.
If you want to picture this cake imagine a lemon drizzle cake made with lime and more syrup than you'd use for a lemon drizzle. It has a delicate, refreshing flavour and a beautifully sticky texture that requires a cake fork rather than fingers! In texture, it's almost akin to a baked cheesecake – it has that dense yet soft and moist sponginess.
When you start brushing the hot syrup over the hot cake you will think you have far too much for it ever to be absorbed. Persevere because it will all get used!
For the cake:
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
220g caster sugar
3 eggs, separated
300g self raising flour
250ml buttermilk
For the syrup:
80ml lime juice (approx 3 limes, depending on size and juiciness)
165g caster sugar
60ml water
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper – ideally use an all-in-one liner as then no syrup will escape.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the egg yolks.
- Beat in half the flour, followed by half the buttermilk, then the remaining flour and remaining buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until the soft peak stage.
- Fold the egg white into the cake batter in two stages, to ensure it is incorporated fully.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, level the surface, and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine took 1 hour 5 minutes.
- As soon as the cake comes out of the oven make the syrup: place all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves. You can tell this by looking at the back of the spoon – if there are any crystals it hasn't dissolved.
- Stop stirring and bring the syrup up to the boil.
- Remove from the heat and brush over the hot cake. Do this gently and gradually so the syrup is absorbed. I found the syrup came up the edge of the cake liner (this is why it's a good idea to use an all-in-one) but absorbed as the cake cooled.
- Serve at room temperature with spooning cream.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Hey Tauna, I am a Canon girl. I currently have a T3i. I would love to be shooting with a full-frame camera (Canon 5d Mark II) but the body alone is $2000, and I know that I can get a lot out of my current camera. So my strategy for right now is to rent when I do something like a wedding. There are a couple of cool internet places that rent. My favorite lens to shoot with is the 55mm f/1.4. I have a wish list of other lenses, but they are mainly very expensive, and again, I can rent them for special events. What is your favorite camera/lens?

Pure Love
The Christmas season is the most extreme time of year for most people, Christian or not.
The build up to the 25th December celebrations often involves a myriad of mini celebrations; school parties, small group finales, work breakups, Christmas celebration lunches and dinners everywhere we look! Holiday planning, present budgeting (or not) and way too much of that "special occasion" food can become "all too much" weeks before Christmas day. For Christians all around the world, the birth of Jesus Christ is such a precious day, purely because we have grasped the enormity of how much we are loved! The huge sacrifice God made in choosing to visit earth in the flesh in the form of a helpless baby! What a risk He took for humankind; the risk of allowing human parents to raise Him and to protect Him as he grew. The risk of trusting his followers to proclaim the truth of who He is to all the world! Jesus modeled to us the risk of trust in relationship the very moment He was conceived. We have got it wrong often, we can struggle to risk trusting God let alone others. Yet He still trusts us to bring His hope, love ,forgiveness and grace to the whole world. I urge you this busy Christmas season to find time to reflect on how precious you are to your creator. God came to earth for you, He loves you so much, He knows your thoughts, your pain and your past. Whether you know Him or not… He knows you. Whether you're flat out with people, or feeling very alone this Christmas; God has a future for you, He is pure love, He doesn't focus on your shortcomings, He sees you through perfect eyes.
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." 1Chronicles 16:34

January Camp Week Two - Introducing the Style of Play
As the LA portion of the January camp hits the halfway point, the focus of training during the second cycle of performance fitness has shifted towards introducing the concepts of how the U.S. plays under U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The two-a-day sessions continue, while the emphasis gradually changes.
"We continue with the same focus on building a good foundation, but now we start implementing our style of play," said assistant coach Martin Vasquez. "We are working on group defending and team shape and we are able to utilize the two sessions to accomplish those things we need for the games ahead."
While there is an increase in the soccer-specific exercises, the process of building fitness remains an important element and impacts the planning of each session.
"Our fitness coach Masa Sakihana takes the first part of the morning session to work on different elements - explosiveness, acceleration, change of direction – and that leaves their legs still heavy. With Masa, Jurgen, Andy Herzog and our goalkeeper coach, there is clear communication on the loads and intensity we can put on them. "
Another tool the coaching staff uses to accomplish both goals are small-sided games, which combine high pace with lots of touches on the ball.
"We play a lot of high intensity games – exercises like five against five or six against six, and put them either in specific areas of the field or as transition games. The competition is very intense, and we start pushing the guys with blocks of anywhere from five to 10 minutes so that it will be high intensity."
Building the framework of understanding how the team plays starts with functional training, using different exercises for defenders, midfielders and forwards to develop coordinated movements amongst the group.
"When we talk about functional training for defenders, we are working in the defensive half and breaking down how we defend with our back four," Vasquez said. "Things like how we shift, step up, drop, and also how we build out of the back with the ball. With the midfielders and forwards, we work on combination play on the flanks and the timing of runs for crossing and finishing. There are many ways to accomplish this."
With any National Team, there is the inherent challenge of getting players on the same page when they come from different styles and philosophies with their club teams. In a camp like this where so many of the players have had little or no exposure to the team under Klinsmann, the process becomes that much more important with an international game only two weeks away. The first step is providing an understanding. Vasquez says they recognize the challenge, and so far the work has been positive.
"It's the hardest thing to accomplish, but we do it in a way that's very clear to them. They are very receptive, they respond, and their attitude is great."

While We're At It, Let's Free All Nonviolent Drug Offenders
Attorney general Eric Holder has come out in favor of reduced sentences for thousands of people currently imprisoned on nonviolent crack cocaine convictions. (A recent law corrected the insane sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine; Holder is simply recommending that the new sentencing guidelines be applied to some people already in jail.) That's a great first step. Then can we let out all the other drug war victims, too?
California has already been ordered to release thousands of people from its inhumanely overcrowded prisons. Why are all of our nation's prisons so god damn full? Because of the great War on Drugs. Which is officially a failure!
The end of this movie is clear. Let's skip all the stuff in the middle. Filling our prisons with nonviolent drug offenders is dumb, it doesn't do anything about the drug problem, it's unjust, and besides, we can't afford it. Let's cut the bullshit. Start cutting nonviolent drug crimes down to misdemeanors, or less. And make the new sentencing laws retroactive, so we can free thousands of people from prisons they never had any business being in. Imprisoning poor people who sell drugs to make a little money creates far more problems than it solves. Leaving aside the fundamental issues of injustice, it creates an entire class of angry unemployable young men with criminal records, who will then be much more tempted to make a career out of crime when they get out. And it's still as easy to buy drugs as it's ever been. What the hell is the point?
Let's open the prisons. In an organized manner. Let the dangerous, sociopathic, violent people stay. Let the nonviolent drug offenders out. With an apology note, from the rest of America. We do the drugs. They paid for it. This movie sucks.

The heartwarming scene of sportsmanship and camaraderie you see above took place toward the end of yesterday's Holy Cross-Kincardine game in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The gloves came off after a Kincardine player scored a goal in the waning seconds—Kincardine won, 4-1, so the outcome was no longer in doubt—and then proceeded to taunt the Holy Cross goaltender by pumping his fist as he skated by him. The Peterborough Examiner said the goalie responded with his fists, which touched off "about five separate fights." Both teams had just one player suspended for their next game in the round-robin tournament.

SINGAPORE — San Francisco-based Fluidigm unveiled a new facility here on Monday (Oct. 24) that will support rising demand for its integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) and the firm's regional expansion plans.
The 15,000-square-foot facility incorporates research and development and manufacturing operations and marks Fluidigm's first offshore venture, as well as the first biochip fab in Singapore.
Fluidigm Singapore general manager Grace Yow said the facility is expected to begin full manufacturing of the company's TOPAZ screening chips — used by labs in protein crystallization processes — by mid-2006, and would take on more product lines such as Dynamic Array biochips in the future.
The firm said in a statement that the Singapore plant will play a "key role" in the launch of Fluidigm's next-generation process technologies and the fabrication of new products designed to allow pharmaceutical firms and other clients to manipulate multiple fluids in nanoliter volumes simultaneously.
Gajus Worthington, Fluidigm president and CEO, said the firm would invest about $23.6 million in the Singapore plant over the next five years. Yow added that the company planned to increase its Singapore head count of 10 R&D staff by over five times in the next 18 months.
The company cited the city-state's experience in the semiconductor industry and the government's efforts to groom the biotech sector as the main reasons Singapore was selected for the new operation.
Fluidigm Chairman Sam Colella cited Singapore's "sound regulatory framework" for protecting intellectual property as another reason for locating here.

No new injuries reported after Saturday's match against Colorado
The New England Revolution athletic training staff released the Tuesday injury report this afternoon following the Revs' training session. The list shows two upgrades, and more importantly, no new injuries following Saturday's match against Colorado.
NE Injury Report – April 27, 2010
PROBABLE: Mauricio Castro (R ankle pain), Zak Boggs (R knee/R ankle sprain), Shalrie Joseph (R gastroc strain)
OUT: Emmanuel Osei (R leg laceration), Matt Reis (L shoulder/L knee surgery), Taylor Twellman (concussion)
Zak Boggs and Mauricio Castro have both been upgraded to PROBABLE after the weekend. Both players continue to progress with their injuries, being active in the early parts of training before going off to the side to work individually with the athletic training staff.
Shalrie Joseph is also listed as PROBABLE with a right gastroc (calf) strain, but will be away from the team for an indefinite period of time while he's on an approved leave of absence.
On the OUT list, Emmanuel Osei continues to deal with a significant laceration on his leg, which has prevented him any aspect of team training or participation for the last week. Matt Reis continues to do strengthening and fitness work on his shoulder, most specifically in the pool recently. Taylor Twellman also works out with the team almost every day at training and then does side work on his own with the medical staff to improve his fitness.

Towing company agrees to $10,000 in refunds
Bexar Towing has agreed to refund nearly $10,000 to vehicle owners for charging them more than what San Antonio allows for a private tow, even as the company continues to fight those allegations in court.
News of the refunds came just as the company lost yet another legal round Tuesday, when a Municipal Court judge refused to dismiss more than 400 tickets police issued against Bexar Towing last spring for charging above the city's $85 towing limit.
Bexar Towing was charging $250, plus other fees, to tow vehicles off private property because, company officials said, state rules gave them the license to collect that amount.
The compensation to the vehicle owners is the result of a settlement between the state and Bexar Towing on about 52 cases, which were set for a hearing in October, said Chris Prentice, civil enforcement prosecutor for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the towing industry.
The company settled before the hearing occurred.
The refunds totaling $9,647.50 are for a number of violations, including unauthorized tows but mostly overcharging, Prentice said. In the instances of overcharging, the company must pay back the difference between the state and city price ceiling. For the unauthorized tows, the company will return the entire fee, Prentice said.
Bexar Towing also agreed to pay $7,500 in administrative fees.
If the company had not paid the refunds, it would have faced a $143,500 fine, which Bexar Towing founder John DeLoach said was exorbitant.
"It was not an admission of guilt and that's in the settlement paperwork," DeLoach said. "It was just strictly a financial decision."
DeLoach remains steadfast that state law allows him to charge above the city cap.
"I haven't violated any of the laws," he said. "I have followed the state laws to the letter."
After the police issued the overcharging citations in April and May, the company sued the city in District Court, arguing it was within its rights to charge so much because that's the maximum state law allows.
Bexar Towing has said the city refuses to raise the towing fee or make a whole-hearted effort to study what a new fee should be, despite repeated requests from DeLoach since 2003, when a state law first sanctioned a rate higher than $85.
The law also said cities "shall" create a process by which companies can request a tow fee study, DeLoach said.
Bexar Towing later dropped that suit but continues to fight the tickets in Municipal Court.
Last week, attorneys for Bexar Towing and the city argued their cases before Municipal Court Judge Robert Lipo. The city said state rules don't invalidate the city ordinance; the towing company's lawyers again said the city repeatedly failed to comply with state law.
Lipo emailed his decision on a request by Bexar Towing to dismiss the tickets outright Tuesday morning.
While Bexar Towing lost that motion, it will have another chance to make its case at trial, which is set to begin in Lipo's court next Tuesday.
Regarding its settlement with the state, Bexar Towing has a year to pay the state administrative fees and already sent the state two payments, Prentice said.
The company previously settled with the state for $19,000 for a series of other infractions but not for overcharging.
Prentice said other complaints against the company are pending.
The city is in the process of conducting a tow fee study.

Yankee Lake Truck NightPosted in Events on October 10, 2013
Yankee Lake is straight legit, man. It's totally worth going to every time, and I wish I could get up there more than once a year. It's another chicks-everywhere, party-type event with some of the sickest and definitely the largest mega trucks in the north throwin' down all weekend. They also have huge concerts and huge crowds and, of course, one of my favorite attractions, the Miss Yankee Lake Truck Night Competition every year. —Ricky B Wilson
Yankee Lake Truck Night is held at Brookfield, Ohio, which is on the eastern side of the state and close to the Pennsylvania border. It's also fairly close to Cleveland. The Yukon Gear & Axle National Throttle King Qualifying Mega Truck Challenge Party is held every Memorial Day weekend. It pulls in a huge crowd and a ton of nasty built Mega Trucks that compete in the different challenges. Yankee Lake absolutely blows it out at the big events with a ton of action. It is common that 5,000 plus people show at their weekend events. Yankee Lake also opens every Friday night during the warmer months, which makes the place a nonstop attraction and the place to be all year long.
There is so much here to keep everyone busy it's ridiculous. Huge mud play areas, rockcrawling, a pad for back-to-back grudge pulls and tugs, lots of vendors, climbing wall, a mechanical bull, a live DJ, a dance floor area full of ladies, and a large main stage for concerts. This year during the big 4x4cross party weekend, in addition to the Mega Truck Challenge, they held both the Miss Yankee Lake Truck Night Competition and a huge concert with the LACS.
The Yukon Gear & Axle Throttle King Qualifying Mega truck Challenge was absolutely a brute test of strength, speed, and power for the trucks competing. Friday night the trucks had to hookup back-to-back in a tug on the concrete pad and pull a loader tire for time. Saturday the trucks ran a circle track mud pit pulling a monster tire. Then the trucks raced on an obstacle course track, and then hit a Hill N Hole. All the trucks got some big air.
This is the second year in a row Tom Smith in Boar Hog won the Mega Truck Challenge. The trucks in the top 5 were Scott Green in Sail, Grant Charlick in Mud King, Wayne Wiest in Wild 1, and Scott Krznar in Mud Slut. All top 5 runners-up won Yukon Gear & Axle Throttle King crowning event invitations.
Yankee Lake is a don't-miss event. You need to get there at least once a year, if not twice, or three times—or heck, every Friday night. You won't regret it.

USB Dance Mat Lets Your Fingers do the Dancing
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, PC / Laptop, Toys
Whether you love, loathe or simply don't get Dance Dance Revolution and its brethren, we think you'll find this item as zany and amusing as we do. It's the USB Dance Mat, which plugs into your computer and allows you to play DDR—with your fingers. The mat's arrows light up randomly to the beat (a soundtrack is included), which your fingers "dance" to. The longer you last, the faster the music. It even comes with a cut-out dancer to fit over your fingers, for added silliness. You can choose a 30 or 60 second game, and there's even a counter to track your moves. We would definitely hold mini-DDR competitions in our cubicle, if it weren't for that whole pink slip thing. Available for $18 USD.

Post subject: check, please + how much?
Just out of curiousity and the fact that we're always looking to travel, I'd like some current and accurate information about tipping policies where you live and dine out -- both in the USA and elsewhere.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Things here tend to be pricey on all fronts. A 20% tip on a restaurant check is pretty much the starting point -- adjust downwards or upwards, depending...I suspect that's probably on the high side. I am familiar with tipping policy in France (or the way it used to be)...
but leave a bit for good service. On my last visit to the UK, I greatly amused some young restaurant servers when I asked them to tell me honestly what a generous restaurant tip in the UK was so that I could act accordingly. They said 10-15%. If you disagree, please say so.
Travel guidebooks frequently offer this advice. I often find that their advice isn't accurate for the way "real people" function in their own environments and that it's usually a bit lower than the acceptable standard.
What is the average gratuity percentage in your part of the world? Do you then adjust for poorer or better service?

So far as tipping goes, San Francisco is right in line with the balance of the U.S. in that 20% is considered the starting point. This is up from 15% just a few years ago, reflecting the fact that the minimum wage for servers has not kept pace.
Another growing trend is to leave a tip regardless of the service level. To me this is just training servers to believe that they don't have to do the job; that poor service gets rewarded the same as exceptional service.
Goes a long way towards explaining why the overall level of service has slid downwards.

Australians tend not to tip, or at least, not the ones I dine out with. We usually round up to the nearest $10, or tip for exceptional service, but otherwise it's just not really part of our culture.

I agree Judy. But then our waiters are paid slightly better than most countries. Here you tip, but you need to check first whether it is service compris. Even then if you get exceptional service, or they do something extra I do tip as a way of saying thank you.
Still not my ideal job, I think I lasted one week as a waitress
. I hated it with a passion. Would rather be out back cooking than serving at table.
THe other week I left a tip at a country restaurant while in the UK. THey ran after me to give me back the "change". It has become second nature to me to tip now and I didn't stop to think that a lot of places (especially outside cities) do not tip.
If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen.

Interesting idea, Debbie.
I would agree that BOH is more fun. But if you're goal is making money, serving is the way to go. If my legs would let me work a full shift, I'd still be waiting tables. There is no other legal way I know to make so much money so quickly.

Yes, but in Australia you don't get tips - just a standard wage. So you don't make money fast.
I just really didn't like squishing between all the tables and the grumpy diners and the rush etc. Much prefer to be in the kitchen even if just plating up rather than cooking.
Some people can cope with the waiting, others just aren't cut out for it I suppose.

Around the Interwebs on Wednesday -Modern Nursery
Posted by

Leave a comment!
I am suffering from holiday A.D.D. I'm surfing around from twitter to a Scrabble game ("Porcinis" – 95 points!); from tumblr to Houzz, from Garnet Hill Orla Keily bargains ($49 bags!!!) to Remodelista, etc. etc.! I figured I'd share some of my favorites throughout the day as I go along.
So, a little known fact about people who don't have kids is that we don't care about nurseries. We avoid ToysRUs, we send Pottery Barn Kids catalogs straight to the recycling bin and we think finding poop on an upholstered chair in the living room on Christmas morning is disgusting (true story). So it takes an extra special, truly bedazzling nursery for us to give it a second look, and a total superstar for us to actually like it. I present this nursery by Insidesign that I just spied over at Remodelista. OF COURSE it is Dutch. It almost makes me believe I could live with all the poop:
If this got you in the mood to shop for modern nursery goods, this is what Design Public has for your hip baby.

The Chinese-born American author offers the fictional memoirs (historically based) of a Chinese officer's difficult years as a POW in the Korean War—and the more difficult return to China after the ceasefire.
Yu Yuan is no one's idea of a revolutionary, but as an army cadet at the Nationalist military academy in 1949, he greets Mao's victory over the Nationalist forces with genuine relief, disgusted as he was with the corruption and incompetence of Chiang Kai-shek's regime. He continues his military career under the Party and is eventually assigned to a "volunteer" unit of Chinese forces supporting the North Koreans against UN forces in the Korean War. Here, after his unit is ambushed, Yuan falls into American hands and is sent to a POW camp on an island off the Korean coast. He is pleasantly surprised to find little of the abuse that Party propaganda had assured the Chinese they would meet at the hands of American captors, but he is subjected to political pressures all the same. The Americans offer the Chinese prisoners a choice of repatriation to either Taiwan or the mainland, thus dividing the camp into Communist and Nationalist factions that fight among themselves. Although not a Communist, Yuan feels bound to return to China for the sake of his mother and fiancée, and this brings down upon him the wrath of the Nationalist prisoners, who go so far as to hold him down and tattoo anti-Communist propaganda on his chest. Even without the tattoo Yuan is a marked man back home, especially when the Cultural Revolution unleashes a pogrom against anyone deemed to have been tainted with Western ideas. But Yuan is canny enough to get by, and, having survived revolution, war, and prison, he manages to outlive the fanatics in the end.
Another brilliant installment in Ha Jin's history of modern China (The Crazed, 2002, etc.), written with his usual understatement and clarity.

The idea here is not all that original - it's been done as a game system, a TV series and even borrows heavily from a movie series. I hope that it generates some interest nonetheless and that a few people like the idea...
The game is, essentially, a war for reality. It borrows from Torg and ReBoot as primary sources of inspiration...
Game Concept
Set in a semi-modern era, other realities try to invade our own. The purpose and cause of these invasions are as yet unknown. The PCs begin as operatives within a protected Metropolis, assigned to defend against invading paradigms. (I am using the DCU city of Metropolis, but not necessarily the exact people and personalities...)
Starting with simple missions of preventing a paradigm invasion on a shielded city, the game will expand to taking the fight into the wilderness and eventually to find and fight back against the invaders.
Characters have superpowers even though this is not the norm for this world. They have been granted these powers by Lexcorps' bio-engineering division.
Tomorrow's world today. Essentially, the modern world without many of the distractions/ issues that we face. Hunger and homelessness have been eradicated. The notion of the replicator has driven the need for scrounging for resources, hunger and many other ills to the brink of extinction.
That is, until other realities began invading. Many cities were able to fight off the original onslaught and some developed shielding capable of fending off many aggressive attacks automatically. The occasional paradigm assault still gets through, and people of the PCs calibre step in to do what the automated defenses could not.
Cities/ regions that have fallen to the paradigm assaults are often assimilated by the invader. Just as often they are barren wastelands as the invading paradigm's nature is unable to maintain its hold and crumbles.
Occasionally, the areas become rifts leading back to the invading dimensions instead of an extension of that realm. In the case of this last, the surrounding area could be a devastated wasteland, a co-existing realm and other undiscovered combinations or scenarios. (Note that a large swath of the internet is gone because cities that housed various servers are destroyed or subsumed.)
The game starts within the protected streets of Metropolis. An energy shield is visible over the city, protecting all within from invading realities.
Character Concepts/ Creation
- • Characters are to be existing DCU personalities. Marvel personalities are also permitted. Essentially, take the secret id of an established hero and use the character as a base for abilities and personality. This is to give a sense of continuity or immediate "belonging" for the character's place in the game.
• It is not required to have an identical powerset to your character's model personality. Clark Kent, for instance, has access to a battlesuit and other technology that gives him superhuman abilities.
• Use of an existing character name can also be to reflect their powers as a new personality. For instance, Robert Drake gets his name of Ice from his personality. The augmentation process actually turned him into a pyrokinetic. Alternatively, Erik Lensherr has a magnetic personality instead of magnetic powers...
• Powers can be as limited or extensive as PL and PP limits permit (see Crunchy Bits for concept limitations).
• Characters are heroes. Not villains. Not villains in disguise. Heroes.
• Having said that, if you want to take the name, skillset or even powerset of an existing Marvel or DC villain and make them a hero, I am open to the idea.
• I am looking for ideally 4-6 players. Ideally I'd like a scientist/ cleric type, a mage/ blaster type, a leader type and a scout type. The exact way that these niches are filled is up to the players and overlap is permissible.
Unavailable Personalities
These characters are claimed as NPCs by the GM. I've tried to keep the list as short as possible... If you choose a villain to tweak to goodness, be aware that I have claimed some as NPCs already and they may be unavailable. I am not listing those here yet.
- • Colonel Clark Kent
• Bruce Wayne: (He's in Gotham)
• Lana Lang:
• Jose Delgado:
• John Jones/ Martian Manhunter:
• Reed Richards:
Power/ Character Origins
- • Agent: You are an agent of one of Earth`s military, paramilitary or secret societies. (Perhaps of the Science Police.) This does not preclude access to "superpowers" but requires some creative explanation for why you have powers, depending on the nature of the powers. Enhancement suits, battlesuits and the like ae appropriate. The world's primary paradigm, after all, is akin to our own.
• Augment: You volunteered to be augmented to fight the invasions and protect your home. The bio-organic enhancement process runs the gamut of powers but tends to produce X-Men or LSH style characters with a tight set of powers that fill an archetypal niche. That is not to say that spread out powers (akin to Supes and the like) are out the door.
• Paradigm Shifted: Your PC is not of this world. You might be directly from an invading paradigm, left behind when the incursion was repelled. You might also be a changed being altered during the course of the incursion. Either way, the reality you carry is not the one that most people are accustomed too. The shift can be subtle, concealable or outright evident (see the Paradigm Shifted Complication). At most, I'll allow one PC to start as a Paradigm Shifted character. Paradigm Shifted characters begin play with the complication "Mistrusted." (Think Teal'c from Stargate SG-1.)
• Mixed Bag: Combining the above is possible and permissible.
• Others: Other origins are possible, but should fall in the above options. Superhero mutants are paradigm shifted. The alien posing as a paradigm shifted character is for all intents and purposes a paradigm shifted character…
Crunchy Bits
- • Mutants and Masterminds 3rd Edition
• PL 10/ 150 (+GM bonuses) points
• Range on any given power really shouldn't be greater than a city. (Teleport beyond that range is mostly pointless in this setting at least at the beginning. Likewise, worldwide communication/ scrying is impossible.) Characters ignoring this and expecting HP when their powers do not work will be disappointed.
• Likewise the range on equipment may be limited. Cellphone calls to Toronto, New York or any other city may work, but may not as well. This failure of technology is a part of the setting and to be developed IC.^
• Quickness vs Invention, Ritual and the like - Quickness can be used for these effects.
• Dimensional Anchor All characters receive a pool of 5 power points above and beyond the standard allotment. These are to be assigned to PCs in various Paradigm Incursions. The GM determines what these points grant, and players can make suggestions based on the environment. Players may allot more points to this pool at a cost of 6 points per 5 power points. (Variable Power: Limited to Invading Paradigms, Assigned by GM)
• Dimensional Anchor Part 2 All Characters received the Advantage Quick Change 2, limited to within a paradigm shift. This enables characters to blend into the world that invades and coupled with the Paradigm Incursion points from above, gives them some advantage/ benefit in whatever reality they find themselves in.
Combat Posting
1) Post an action for your character whenever you are online and haven`t already acted that round.
2) I will resolve posts that are posted via the initiative order (including villains).
3) You have until your initiative comes up (or I resolve the action) to change your action (in the original post or a new one. Indicate OOC if you do the former)
4) A summary post at the end of each round will be posted.
New/ Modified Advantages
- • Favoured Paradigm: This advantage is available to characters at the normal cost, and functions exactly like the advantage Favoured Environment. Favoured Paradigms include High Fantasy, Mecha, Manga, Sci-Fi. Characters must further define favoured paradigms to specific genres. Every character gets one free Favoured Paradigm
• Benefit – Status (Science Police) - ranked: You are a ranking officer in the Science Police. This benefit grants security clearance and other base advantages associated with being in the military at rank one, contacts (the "connected" benefit and may have other benefits if taken at higher rank.)
- • Mistrusted: You are not of this reality and it shows. Your appearance generates mistrust on first contact with most beings, and can go so far as to cause outright hostility towards you. Your character may have been from this world and changed in an incursion, or left behind when an incursion was repelled.
• Paradigm Shift: It happens, even though the player respected the guidelines for character creation, devices or equipment don`t work due to the nature of an invading paradigm. This could also apply to the personal reality that a Paradigm Shifted character "carries" with them... (All players receive this complication.)
Locations of Note
Metropolis: PCs home town. Shielded but occasional incursions.
- • Baxter Building: Home of Challengers of the Fantastic who strive to protect their home city and fight back on a global level.
• Daily Planet: Source of news for the city – electronic media and social hub.
• Science Police:
• SCU 1 – Colonel Clark Kent, Lt Jose Delgado
• SCU 2 – Colonel Lana Lang,
• Lost Angels: Tribute to the ReBoot TV series, a destroyed twin city to Metropolis. The ruins exist within the shielded area of the city.
• Lexcorps Towers: Centerpoint of the city, home to Lex Luthor and HQ of the Science Police
Posting Conventions
I don't plant to reinvent the wheel here. Please use a color for speech, italics for thoughts, put your character name, HP, and current condition at the top of your post... the usual.
As for die rolls, please use [http=http://invisiblecastle.com/]Invisible Castle[/url]. Note, I do not plan to check die rolls on a regular basis. I am of the firm opinion that cheating only cheats the cheater. However if you notice flagrant cheating and it diminishes your enjoyment, please let me know and I will address it.
I plan to post with the group rate. However, I want to move things along whenever possible at least every 48-72 hours possibly faster in combat. I've seen games implode because players seemed to want split second response that only a tabletop game gives...

No the "Cumshot" can be done by anybody. The "Cum-dribble" can too. It's all in the control. Watch any cumshot and in most of them you will notice the guy "sqweezing" a bit. Whether externally with his hand or internally with muscle control. If I control it just right I can hit the cieling from my bed.

The AVN726e, Eclipse's newest double-DIN DVD/navigation receiver, was making a name for itself even before it was released to the public, as it was named Best of Innovations at CES 2009 in the In-Vehicle Navigation/Telematics/ITS product category. We were too busy being wowed by its sibling, the Eclipse AVN4430, to take notice.
However, after spending time with the AVN726e, we find there's a lot to love about this navigation receiver, including its bright LCD, snappy response times, and beautiful 3D navigation maps.
It's no wonder we almost overlooked the AVN726e. Its physical appearance is remarkably similar to just about every other double-DIN touch-screen unit on the market today. When installed in the vehicle's dash, all that is visible to the user are the 7-inch WQVGA (480×272 pixel) color touch screen and 10 illuminated buttons along the bottom bezel.
The screen features crisp visuals for GPS maps and DVD playback, with bright, saturated colors that don't wash out badly in direct sunlight. The viewing angle is quite wide, for clear viewing from the driver's or passenger's seat. Touch controls are responsive, with only the slightest lag between touch and execution.
Physical buttons on the faceplate include buttons for telephone mode, AV mode, navigation mode, and the main menu. There's also a skip rocker, a volume rocker, a mute button, and an eject button. Hitting the eject button brings up an onscreen menu from which users can adjust the screen's tilt or slide down the motorized faceplate to expose the DVD slot and SD card slot for navigation data.
Navigation map data is stored on 2GB of internal flash memory and can be updated via an SD card. Because the data is flash-based, as opposed to hard-drive-based or DVD-based, maps are rendered quite quickly and with a surprising amount of detail. Graphics are smooth and easy to read at a glance. Maps can be displayed in either 2D with heading up, 2D with North up, or a 3D map view with three selectable angles.
The 3D view displays basic elevation changes for roads. For example, highway overpasses are raised and pass over other roads on the map, which is helpful for visualizing the road ahead. In certain major cities, the AVN726e displays 3D-rendered buildings and landmarks.
An external GPS antenna aids in quick satellite acquisition, and a memory function stores the vehicle's last-known location for quick reacquisition on start-up. Custom points of interest, favorite destinations, and routes can be saved to the AVN726e's flash memory for easy retrieval. As a bonus, the flash memory keeps your presets safe, even if your vehicle's battery dies.
Street names are read aloud using a text-to-speech function. Traffic data is provided via Sirius Satellite Radio and requires a Sirius add-on module and subscription.
A built-in Bluetooth wireless transmitter allows for hands-free calling and adds A2DP audio streaming to the list of audio sources. An external microphone is placed near the driver's head during installation and provides clean audio for hands-free calls. Sound quality will ultimately depend on your vehicle's speaker. In our test car, calls made at highway speed with the windows up were quite clear.
Available audio/visual sources include the single-disc CD/DVD slot with non-DRM MP3/WMA/DivX playback capability, a USB pigtail with mass storage and iPod connectivity, AM/FM radio, Bluetooth audio, and an analog AV input (oddly labeled Video Tape Recorder) with pass-through for rear-seat entertainment.

SPA WATCH | Sheswai
CONVERTIBLE? CHECK. Appointment with Sonya Dakar? Check. Visit friends on the set of TV show (oh, heavenly craft service)? Check. Lunch at Le Pan Quotidien on Melrose? Check. Natural manicure in flash color? Also, check. Whenever I visit LA, the strange mix of indie culture, mainstream, kitsch and verdant dash of nature (that simply won't be pushed out by the exacting standards of civil engineers) strikes me anew. Certainly the '72 suburbs in search of a city' that Dorothy Parker describes, LA does have a distinct local flavor and, to my joy, its own little petri dish of a west coast beauty culture that's simply blooming.
Shewai is just that -- SoCal to the core. 3-free nail range and service with groovy nature-inspired graphics and an easy-going attitude. I mean, hey, they'll come to you and manicure/pedicure you at your home/hotel with their capsule collection of varnishes.
Plus, there are great tips and recipes on the site for DIY beauty products and how to keep your manicure looking pretty. Overall, a definite LA do. Bookmark it for your next trip to LA (you do have a travel wishlist folder in your gmail, right?).
