Haven't felt too well the last couple of days. I've had a lot of muscle pain in my shoulder and I've got a lot of cold-like symptoms. Well, everything but the cold. Weird. Kera had very similar symptoms last week. She's feeling much better now, hopefully, I will as quickly as well.
I've been running a lot lately, in part because I often have only so much time in between classes and it's dark until almost 8:00 a.m. and is dark again by slightly after 4:00 p.m./16:00. Therefore, I can at least get a run in while it's daylight. Anyway, I've attempted a couple of times lately to go for a ride. The first time I had a flat within five minutes of leaving the apartment. That one was due to failed "Ghetto" tubeless that I've been attempting on my Black Sheep. The next ride attempt ended up with me walking over 1.5 hours back home in the dark when I had a front flat on the "Bastard Cross" and didn't have the necessary equipment to repair it. Trust me….that SUCKED!
On Saturday, I managed to get out late in the afternoon for the first successful ride in almost two months. It felt really good to be out of the singlespeed. However, I realized just how pitiful of shape that I'm currently in when it comes to cycling. My running fitness is pretty o.k. outside of some shin-splints but my cycling fitness is beyond piss-poor. Hopefully, now that the days will start to get longer I can get out more often, even at night. We're also going to attempt to get out this weekend and look at potential new gyms in the area. We're thinking that regular workouts will help both of our moods.
On the same ride, I managed to lose a part of one of my winter shoes. It sucks as it's often very difficult to get parts here. That thin there in the photo is supposed to have a top on it and a screw in the middle. It tightens up the whole shoe evenly. Well, it did, till I lost the part. In theory, I have replacement parts coming from Switzerland though. Hopefully, it won't take too long before they arrive.
We did get some new toys though….. My new snowshoes arrived today. Baby-cat seems to think that she'd like to go out in the snow with us as well. These are the Atlas 1030's for me and the Women's Electra 10 Series for Kera as well. Nice stuff. Hers is the White pair and mine is the one absconded by the cat. We've already got a good snowshoe tour book and most of the resources for going out and having a great day in the snow. Hopefully, Kera's will arrive in the next day or so and we'll manage to get out to the mountains this weekend for our first test-run. If we don't manage to get out on Saturday, which might be the case if we get caught up in looking at gyms. In that case we'll go out on Sunday. Either way…. I'm really looking forward to it.
Kera's been knitting up a storm (can't show you pics for a few reasons) and the creativity bug has now infected me. I made the above belt from one of Kera's old mountain bike tires. I've got a few ideas to make some other interesting things (if you're a cyclist) but I've yet to create them.
Lastly, I've added another page to the blog with probable/possible events for '09.
Ciao till Christmas.

This is not the Blue Moon in Ada, rather the Asian restaurant in Edmond.
We had dinner at Blue Moon back on 28 July 2015. I started with Egg Flower soup, which was egg drop. It was very good.
For our meals, Raegan got Boneless Chicken, which was sorta the kind of breaded and deep fried chicken used in sweet and sour, but instead tossed with veg. She liked it. Erin had sweet and sour chicken and thought it pretty good, although she was not hungry enough to finish it. I had curried chicken and liked it a lot. The default is with bell peppers, I had that taken out.
The iced tea was good, but the glasses were kind of small and we ran out a couple times. We don't eat a lot of asian food, but I think we would like to. This was pretty darn good. Our check was $49.40. We'll be back.

Though we have opened and closed our production of Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, the songs are still living in my head.
Especially when I checked my email this morning to find an email from the lovely mab (who gets to live in South Louisiana while I'm stuck in North Texas AND gets to live in New Orleans -- I'm so jealous) at The mab Blab telling me I won a $25 gift certificate to Sew Love Fabrics. Thanks mab! You sure know how to make a girl's day -- the day before yet another major event at work.
So, I facing a very hard decision...
What to pick?

Where do you go when you want a fast but delicious lunch in Lake Mary? There are a handful of non-fast food spots where you can grab a quick but hearty lunch that won't leave you greasy and broke. F&D Cantina is one of those places where you can enjoy a great lunch either leisurely or on your one hour mid-day break.
A great appetizer to begin with is the Trip Dips – a ramekin of salsa, house made guacamole, and piping hot queso. Served with a warm basket of tortilla chips, the appetizer is quick and tasty.
The favorite dish of mine is the Backfin Crab & Shrimp Enchilada served with Spanish rice and black beans. There are large pieces of both crabmeat and shrimp smothered in a jalapeno cream sauce.
And also good is the Chile Relleno which is overstuffed quinoa, black beans, onions, corn, tomato, and red pepper, then topped with a Chihuahua cheese sauce.
Should you have time to linger, F&D Cantina offers the same great margarita menu during the day as they serve at night, including the House Rita with a 2-oz. tequila pour, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar. 4 out of 5 sprouts.

Eastbourne Announced in Trivago's Top 10 UK Destinations for Best Value Breaks
16 January 2017
Eastbourne has joined the UK's top 10 for best value breaks as travel website Trivago, today released their latest findings for purse friendly getaways, as the perfect antidote to Blue Monday.
Based on the average cost of a hotel on Trivgao.co.uk, the south coast resort has been found to be the 8th cheapest destination in the UK and cheapest in the South East, nudging past the likes of Torquay and cities such as Newcastle with an average price per hotel of £87.
The research, based only on those larger destinations with 60 hotels or more, takes into account prices from 1 January to 31 December, as Eastbourne proved in 2016 to be a popular place to visit all year round, without breaking the bank.
Eastbourne Borough Council Lead Cabinet Member for Tourism & Enterprise, Cllr Margaret Bannister said "We know Eastbourne attracts a high level of repeat business, and one of the reasons for this is our excellent value for money.
With a lively conference, events and entertainment programme which runs 365 days of the year and Britain's best sunshine record, this allows the majority of hotels in Eastbourne to compete all year round, unlike some destinations, with some great deals and exclusive packages to be had outside of the peak season.
Its not just about hotel prices though, with so many free events and attractions to discover, including the South Downs National Park, resorts such as Eastbourne are increasing in popularity for frequent, quick getaways, in the face of rising costs when travelling abroad."
The Top 10 low cost UK destinations includes:
1. Blackpool
2. Great Yarmouth
3. Scarborough
4. Sheffield
5. Weymouth
6. Llandudno
7. Nottingham
8. Eastbourne
9. Torquay
10. Newcastle upon Tyne
London tops the UK's most expensive destinations at almost double the price with an average of £156.
Eleanor Kutylowski, UK Communications at Trivago said "With many people set to enjoy holidays within the UK this year, it's important to know where Brits can find the best value at home. Our data shows that several British beaches offer low-cost accommodation – welcome news for anyone looking to take a staycation by the sea in 2017. These results come at an ideal time for anyone looking to escape the Blue Monday blues."
About the data
Based on hotel searches made between 01.01.2016 and 31.12.2016. Each destination included in the data capture had at least 60 hotels and showed availability throughout the 12-month period.

In a recent article in the Charlotte Business Journal, Paula Patton, president of the NALP Foundation
for Law Career Research and Education, said that a national survey on associate attrition conducted
by her organization in 2005 revealed that, among entry-level associates, 40 percent left within three
years and 62 percent left within four years.
Today, partners in the more enlightened law firms of all sizes and specialties have come to the
realization that it is one thing to attract high-quality associates, but it is an even more difficult challenge
to retain them.
Many firms have attempted to meet this retention challenge by increasing associate salaries to meet
competitive market rates; offering incentive compensation for extraordinary performance; providing
flexible scheduling; encouraging associates to participate in pro bono programs; providing meals and/or
transportation services in the evening; providing service personnel to take care of the associates' basic
needs; reducing the waiting time for insurance coverage; and offering tuition reimbursement and child
care services.
From an organizational perspective, many law firms have also enhanced personal communications with
associates about their career advancement, training, and professional development; assigned associates
to partners who serve as mentors; and provided frequent feedback about associates'' work. However,
for all the well-meant energies invested in these retention programs, associates are still job-hopping
from one firm to another, with firm loyalty being a secondary consideration.
What is a firm to do if, even after implementing some or all of the above retention programs, many
of its top quality and experienced associates continue to leave the firm?
Five Crucial Questions
One approach the author implemented with success during a recent engagement with a mid-size law
firm that was experiencing low moral and an attrition problem among its associate population called
for personal and confidential meetings with all of the associates. These meetings were conducted in
small clusters to elicit their perceptions about "what life is like" for associates at the firm.
Following these meetings, the author met with the Management Committee to report on our findings.
We prepared recommendations for an improved career development program for the firm''s associates
and facilitated an all-attorney meeting with the partners and associates to review the findings, present
recommendations, and encourage associates to ask partners questions about the career development
program we had drawn up.
Below are examples of the discussion questions the author used to establish an initial dialogue with the
a. To what extent do the associates perceive (the firm's) stated values about "open communications,
and concern for quality of life and professional development" as an accurate representation about how
associates are treated, professionally and personally?
b. Do associates believe their opportunities for advancement, professionally, personally and financially,
are better than, less than, or about the same as opportunities available to their peers for performing
similar kinds of work by other law firms and corporations?
c. Do associates believe their "total" compensation (cash and benefits) is better than, less than, or about
the same as the "average" total compensation paid to their peers, for performing similar kinds of work,
and demands on their time, by other law firms and corporations?
d. Do associates believe that the partners' demands about their billable time and expectations of their
(the associates) total time is reasonable when compared to other law practices performing similar kinds
of work in private firms and corporations?
e. Do associates perceive the present methods followed by some partners for assigning work as being
conducive to providing to them (the associates) "stable, diverse and challenging workloads?"
The associates' responses to these and other questions enabled us to better understand the reasons for
the associates' perceptions about the firm and the partners' collective attitude about associates. It is
important to note that these meetings with associates did not deteriorate into "bitch" sessions about
the firm, as some partners feared.
Rather, the associates took these meetings seriously and gladly offered constructive suggestions about
what they thought the partners needed to do to establish a better rapport and improve the working and
interpersonal relationships among the attorneys. A few associates were impressed that the firm had
retained a management consultant to address these issues.
Key Perceptions
Below is a brief composite of the associates' perceptions about the firm and its partners. Associates felt
•• Partners were excellent lawyers and basically "good people," except for the fact that they did not
know how to supervise and develop associates.
•• Partners had their clients' best interest at heart.
•• If they had to retain outside counsel, they would willingly recommend members of the firm.
•• They would like to become partners in the firm, if only the current partners could "get their acts
•• Partners were not nearly as interested in the professional development of the associates as they
claimed to be.
•• During pre-employment interviews, partners misrepresented the type of training the associates would
•• They were not an integral part of the "team" serving the firm's clients, i.e., they were told only what
they had to know to complete the assigned work, rather than being told the rationale for the
assignment and the broader scope of the client project.
•• They were among the last to know what the firm's plans were. For example, a few partners informed
those associates with whom they worked closely that the firm was planning to open an office in another
city. Mid-level associates likewise learned about mundane upcoming occurrences by chance rather than
from the partners. One common complaint echoing these concerns was that the secretaries knew more
about what was happening at the firm than they did.
•• They were not making a contribution towards satisfying the client's objectives.
•• The work at the firm did not provide them with appropriate intellectual and personal challenges.
•• The more experienced associates were not given sufficient independence and responsibility for their
work and were instead micro-managed by partners.
•• Partners failed to provide open and honest communications and constructive feedback about the
associates'' work.
•• They were not given adequate opportunities to develop and use their skills and talents in areas in
which they excelled.
•• The partners talked about opportunities for partnership, but were unwilling to discuss the criteria
for making partner or the length of the partner track that was likely applicable to senior associates.
Solutions Based on Insight
The associates' responses to our questions provided critical insight to guide strategies and tactics that
would need to be implemented to address what had previously been an amorphous discontent among
the ranks. Interestingly enough, the meetings with associates revealed that, although there were indeed
many problems that had to be addressed, there was also more common ground shared by the associates
and partners than had been apparent before.
During this subsequent meeting with members of the firm's Management Committee, it was
recommended that the partners had to make the associates' professional and personal development a
high priority, and that the lines of communication between the partners and associates had to be
improved. Partners were advised to reassess the firm's associate career development program and
decide which programs were working, which ones needed to be tweaked, and which ones required
major surgery.
Objective and subjective criteria had to be determined to evaluate associates' professional performance
and personal characteristics so that the partners could offer constructive recommendations concerning
their performance and career development. Also, it was suggested that the firm employ a professional
human resources person who would be able to assist the lawyer-managers, including a newly constituted
Associates Career Development Committee, in developing and implementing programs to enhance
interpersonal relationships among partners and associates.
We recommended that the partners designate one partner to head a committee of partners to develop
a coherent approach for the professional and personal development of the associates. We also assisted
the recommended Associates Career Development Committee in developing strategies to address the
associates' concern, including enhancing the quality and frequency of communications.
Finally, the firm's new career development program for associates was presented at the all-attorney
retreat. Associates were encouraged to ask questions about the new program and partners responded
directly and candidly.
The firm''s Career Development Program was implemented one year ago. During a recent follow-up
meeting with the Career Development Committee, we were pleased to learn that virtually all of the
recommended initiatives were implemented, at least to some extent, and that the morale of the
associates had improved and associate turnover declined.
Obviously, competition between law firms to recruit and retain top quality associates will intensify.
Developing an ongoing and systematic dialogue among associates and partners during retreats and
other meetings will enable these attorneys to better understand their respective professional and
personal objectives.
In turn, that understanding will improve the professional, interpersonal, and working relationships
between associates and partners, and it will enhance the ability of the firms to recruit and retain top-quality attorneys.

2019 Kitchen Cabinets & Bathroom Vanities
2019 Interior Design Show Toronto - IDS Toronto
Olympica is preparing a New-Modern Kitchen Cabinets and Bathroom Vanities Collection for 2019. This new collection will complement amazingly with the newest trends from 2019. Olympica's 2019 Modern Kitchen Cabinets Collection is not only contemporary, it is also timeless and well engineered. We design this collection to look and feel astonishing without compromising affordability; this collection will look and feel luxurious but will be reasonably priced. Thus, be ready to see our 2019 collection that is coming soon.
In the meantime, theses are some highlights and Olympica's picks from IDS Toronto 2019.
The colour of 2019 is "METROPOLITAN AF-690." This neutral stylish "grey with cool undertones" projects beauty and balance. This is a calming and smoothing colour that creates an impact. Benjamin Moore also presented the corresponding palette of 15 harmonious hues that further elevates METROPOLITAN AF-690.
Images taken from Benjamin Moore website
During the entire exhibition you can see any combination of these colours on the exhibitions and presentations
Vicostone launched their 2019 new colours collection during the IDS Toronto. Their quartz stones are breathtaking. Their kitchen countertops are exuberant and they feel amazing to touch. Vicostone's new colours complements and highlights Olympica's kitchen cabinets colours and textures. Perhaps you can find few combination between Vicostone new stone colours and Olympica cabinets and bathroom vanities that our designers did not see.
With the growing demand for alternative options for stainless steel, Blanco offers an alternative to stainless-steel sinks. Their coloured kitchen sinks come in white, soft grays, blacks and other. They are soft to touch and they seem to be resistant to scratch. We have not used them to in our designs but it is something we would like to implement in the future. For instance, we would like design a white kitchen that highlights a white sink or we would also like to create a soft grey toned kitchen with a soft grey sink that will complement the mate coloured faucets. The options are endless
4. Outdoor Kitchens
There are many interesting developments with outdoor kitchens. While a couple years ago outdoor kitchen cabinets were predominantly stainless steels. Currently there are much better and larger options for outdoor kitchen cabinets. It was great to see so much option out there
5. Floating Bathroom Vanities
This has been a popular choice for the last flew years and it is for an obvious reason. They are astatically pleasing and with the proper LED lighting this cabinets can become a piece of art. We are currently developing new software so our factories can produce Floating Bathroom Vanities in the near future.

Rugby Dog Training Club
Training at the Club.
The club holds Heelwork to Music Activities fortnightly on a Tuesday evening at 7.15 p.m.
This is an opportunity to teach your dogs some moves, behaviours and learn foundation skills in this popular canine activity.
For those members who are competing or those who may wish to compete in the future these sessions are great for you to practice your moves and strengthen your routine.
About Heelwork to Music
"Heelwork to Music" is the generic name for the whole sport but there are 2 divisions within this which are Heelwork to music and Freestyle, a fairly recent innovation it started in 1990 when one of the worlds best known dog trainers performed a demonstration of obedience heelwork with music playing at a " Canine Cabaret Night " in Bedford, many of the 200 audience went away and said they had seen Heelwork to Music and that's how the name came about !!.
The famous trainer who started it all was Mary Ray, yes one of our own trainers and when she is not flying round the country she still trains and teaches at the club on a weekly basis.
After Cabaret Nights in 1990 & 1992 Mary was invited to demonstrate at Crufts and she has done so every year since then. In 1996 Rugby Dog Training Club held the first ever Kennel Club licensed HTM show at the Sports Connexions at Ryton, this has been the UK's leading show since then and has now moved to the new Kennel Club building at Stoneleigh Park, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
There are now many competitive HTM shows throughout the UK and following in the steps of the other British invention Agility the sport has spread throughout the world, competitions and training now happen in USA, Australia, NZ, Japan, Brazil, South Africa, all Europe to name just a few countries.
The main event for us Brits is the finals in the main arena at Crufts.
It's a great sport and you can train for fun or work towards entering a show and perhaps even qualifying for the big finals at Crufts !!!
Heelwork to Music Trainers:
Carole Turton
Erica Hyde
Classes at Shows
Classes at shows are split into two categories.
Heelwork to Music where the routine must be made up of a minimum of 2/3 heelwork and 1/3 freestyle
Freestyle classes which are made up of a minimum 2/3 freestyle and 1/3 heelwork
Some shows are run over a weekend and include special fun classes. These give young dogs and beginner handlers new to the activity, a chance to go into the ring, using food and toys to encourage the dogs.
There are many training workshops which are very helpful to learn the moves which are required for Heelwork to Music and Freestyle.
Rugby now has several members competing at all levels from Starters through to Advanced some of whom competed and demonstrated at Crufts this year.
Heel Work to Music
Fortnightly on Tuesday Evenings

After a good character creation process and a few weeks of entertaining play, my Vampire game went the way I hear most play-by-post games go: stalled out due to lack of momentum. I may sum up my lessons learned in a later post, but the chief of them is that I'm happier devoting a couple of hours at a scheduled time each week for a live chat game than essentially being constantly on call as a GM.
The unfortunate early end of the game does mean that I get to go ahead and reveal some of the background plots I invented. Since I was trying to make a largely mystery-based game with several players that were already thoroughly familiar with the classic WoD metaplot, my goal was to subtly or drastically change most of the assumptions that would be known to an experienced player but shouldn't be known to a Camarilla neonate. I took a lot of inspiration from the existing sources for a starting point, and the pathways character creation threw up a lot of additional ideas that got rolled in. Here are a few.
I scrapped Wraith the most thoroughly of any of the core creature types, and pretty much verbatim made ghosts like Being Human.
Occult 0
The restless dead are known to exist, though ones that can affect the mortal world seem few and far between. Kindred that encounter a haunted location are advised to treat it carefully until the details can be worked out, and to contact the Tremere if investigation is required (a boon will be owed). Kindred are particularly advised to contact the Tremere if they believe they are being specifically haunted by a spirit.
There are no known organizations of spirits with which to bargain, and the local Camarilla bars no interaction with ghosts save anything that would harm the Masquerade or potentially bring harm on other Cainites.
Occult 1
Ghosts are just people with unfinished business. If you think you're being haunted, your best bet is to figure out who by and try to help the person move on.
Some ghosts are too dark for that, though. There are totally ways to exorcise a ghost and force it to move on. The church is a good start.
Occult 2
Ghosts have several standard and well-documented abilities. They can exert force on the world, either as if they were a physical person or across a whole location. They aren't limited by physical boundaries. They can sometimes inflict illusions or strange sensations on people. And they can possess the unwary or receptive. Virtually anything else you've heard in the stories is some misunderstood combination of these powers.
And all their powers are stronger if they're in the location where they died or near other things of significance to them in life.
Occult 3
Ghosts are literally the souls of the dead, not some pale reflection. Trapping a ghost against its will is perhaps the most awful thing a person can do, and many religions would make helping ghosts move on a moral duty if they believed.
Ghosts tend to fluctuate in power: the more energy it has, the more easily it affects the world, and the easier time it has manifesting. If a ghost is trying to hurt you, if you can wait for it to manifest you can injure it, discorporate it, and force it to recover energy before it can threaten anyone again.
Most ghosts will move on once they resolve their problems from life. Fortunately for the world, ghosts that have been around long enough to become powerful tend to be right on the verge of passing on. The scariest ghosts are those that hang around for decades without gaining closure, and they have power and might use it when disturbed.
Occult 4
Ghosts act the way they do because death is the greatest trauma a soul can endure: each is suffering from terrible neuroses and some psychoses. They behave irrationally because they're to some degree insane. The upside is that the soul is more plastic than the living brain: most ghosts can resolve their issues over time (and this is key to passing on).
A less than ethical individual could probably use a ghost's tendency to mental confusion to manipulate it, but such is a very dangerous game.
Ghosts don't just manifest for short periods. It seems that way because ghosts tend to expend their energy quickly and discorporate when dealing with people that recognize them as ghosts. However, an undisturbed ghost can remain manifested indefinitely: most individuals won't even notice that it's anything but a strange person with some mental issues.
Many individuals of other supernatural types can perceive a ghost before it manifests to mortals. They might fall into the same trap unless they're constantly wary to note whether there are individuals that they notice and mortals don't.
Occult 5
Most supernatural beings don't ever become ghosts. Their souls are not compatible for various reasons.
Old ghosts that stick around can gain powers to rival other supernaturals. If the ghost remains insane and unresolved, these powers can be quite dangerous indeed.
Many such powerful ghosts, however, had the opportunity to pass on and stayed in the world for some reason. On the plus side, this usually means they're totally sane and able to be reasoned with. On the minus side, this usually means they're very smart and capable, and able to carry out complex plans against those that get in their way.
GM Notes
Ghosts are troubled souls that were not ready to depart the mortal coil. They theoretically possess all the cognitive abilities of the person they once were, but in practice each is suffering from the overwhelming traumatic stress of death. This results in neuroses and even psychoses of a great magnitude, keeping most ghosts from dealing rationally with the world.
The primary purpose of a ghost is to come to terms with her death. A soul that has closure immediately departs (though there are rumors that some choose to stay behind as luminous beings if they develop a new goal after their death).
A ghost's being is dominated by:
- Pathos: This is the emotional strength of the ghost, and the stat that fluctuates the most. Low Pathos makes the ghost completely unable to affect the world. Moderate amounts makes it visible to sensitive people and most supernaturals, and able to exert force. High Pathos makes the ghost almost lifelike, visible in all but the least spiritually active locations in the world. Damage to a ghost is dealt to Pathos, so a manifest ghost can be discorperated and made unable to affect the world for some time.
- Logos: A ghost's Logos determines how much trauma it has overcome. Raising this to 10 typically means the ghost is ready to pass on. Low values mean the ghost is confused and acts incredibly erratically. It is the difficulty for most rolls to manipulate the ghost socially or mentally.
- Ethos: Fortunately for the world, the most vengeful ghosts have the least control over their powers. A ghost's Ethos rating indicates its general level of compassion for the living, and corresponds directly to its ability to control its powers and generate them at will. It is rolled as the dice pool for most ghostly powers.
Ghostly powers include:
- Teleportation: Ghosts don't pass through walls so much as teleport short distances. This is easier to control when close to a fetter.
- Telekinesis: Many examples of poltergeist activity are just a moderate-pathos ghost interacting with the environment using its manifested strength. Ghosts can exert more powerful telekinesis at need.
- Illusion: Most ghosts can afflict the living with visions from their minds, generally either images of their death or dark musing on oblivion.
- Possession: Ghosts can sometimes take over the minds of receptive individuals. Those truly trained to be spirit horses can take in a ghost and become a gestalt entity, using the ghost's traits to to shore up their own.
Most supernatural creatures cannot become ghosts (possibly because their lives are so dangerous they're always prepared to die or because their souls are wounded).
Particularly old ghosts can develop even more unusual powers and wisdom to pass on to mages.
The Terminus
Player Notes
"Hey, what's that tape?"
"Oh, that… Terminus bootleg."
"Wasn't that the band that got murdered a few years ago?"
"Yeah. '88. Cautionary tale about hanging out at the train tracks in the middle of the night. Their parents covered most of it up, but word is they got robbed and stabbed to death by some hobos coming in on the trains. Maybe worse."
"Right… right… 'cause they were rich, right? Bunch of suburban white kids hanging out downtown with fat pockets. No surprise, yeah?"
"Guess not. It was pretty sad, though. They were pretty decent. If they'd stuck around for a while longer, they would have tore up at the Masq. Not enough good local goth bands."
"Yeah. Hey, wait! Didn't their singer survive? Raven?"
"Raven was the keyboardist. Singer's 'Ronnie. Veronica Cox. Yeah, one of those. I heard she's been in an institution instead of college for the last few years. Saw all her buddies murdered. Probably there for the rest of her life."
"No way, man! That's the thing I just remembered! Friend of mine ran into this really intense looking goth chick walking near the rail yard. He totally went to try to pick up on her. He said he talked to her a while and she mentioned she'd been in a band, and she was going to pay her respects to her friends. Must be her!"
"Whoa, dude. You think she's going to try to start the band up again?"
"I dunno… but I didn't tell you the f'ed up thing. Remember, my guy was trying to pick up on her? He said he kept seeing things out of the corner of his eye, felt like someone was behind him, saw stuff moving weird in the road, got all cold, and chickened out. You know what I think? I think that girl is haunted."
"That… is f'n metal!"
GM Notes
Atlanta's railroad tracks make up some of the single most haunted locations in America. All that iron, all contiguous: anyone that dies near the tracks might make those tracks their fetter. They can exert this power all over the city… and those with magics that tap the energies of the dead can access this power from anywhere in the city.
Dooley has a tap into the lines, and has for some time, using the deathly vibrations in his workings.
Veronica Cox comes by it naturally, a Euthanatos mage working with her slain friends to find out what happened and protect the lines.
Caliste isn't in it for power. She's steadily trying to meet the dead and put them to rest, one at a time, learning their stories as she goes. So many of them were killed in 1988, and with each one she befriends she learns a little more of the story of what actually happened.
The Sickle of the Dragon
Player Notes
Sometimes attacks against mortals by Cainites, Lupines, and Elves in the city are stopped by strange, serious men in ritual garments that appear out of nowhere and disappear just as soon as the attackers are run off or the prey escapes. Analysis of their robes turns up the name of a Masonic/Golden Dawn-style occult lodge called the "Sickle of the Dragon" that was believed to be disbanded before WWII. Further information has not yet entered the general Kindred rumormill.
GM Notes
The closest thing that the ghosts of Atlanta have to an organizing body, the Sickle of the Dragon was an obscure cult of masons and occult dabblers that was murdered by the Thule society in the 1940s. It was unusual how many of them became ghosts, but it was perhaps due to the particularly violent and ritualistic way they were murdered. They were instrumental in helping The Vigil defeat the society at the time (though the Kindred involved were only slightly aware of the invisible assistance they were getting). Several members passed on after this defeat, but several more resolved their deaths but stuck around to defend other mortals from supernatural death. Since then, the Sickle has tried to recruit other ghosts that were murdered by supernatural forces, or at least mobilize them when necessary.
Several years ago, the Clockwork Dream was activated for the longest time yet, and the members of the Sickle were controlled by its attempts to take the city, as were many other ghosts. Hating this sudden lack of free will, they endeavored to prevent it from ever happening again… particularly when they dug up a connection that indicated the Circle of Silver might have the power to restart the engine permanently and were descended from the Thule society.
They've gotten clues that the Clockwork Dream is aptly named, and are thus seeking Simon, the premier clockmaker for help in dismantling it.
Meanwhile, as representatives of the dead Terminus members, they're not too keen on violent supernaturals using the railyard. They've started trying to make trouble for Darian to keep his guns from creating more ghosts.
Vincent has covered up most of the acts of the group over the years, as he considers them an interesting wild card in the fate of the city and they have yet to take issue with him.
The Bishop
Player Notes
"You up for some work? I got a good lead on the new security down at First Union."
"Naw man, I ain't freelance no more. And you might want to clear that job with the new boss, too. Sounds like the kinda thing he's puttin' his fingers in."
"New boss? Wait, you talking about that Catholic guy everyone's been talking about."
"The Bishop, yeah. But I doubt he's Catholic, I think he just likes the name. Russian, they say. Aren't all'a them commie atheists?"
"Maybe not anymore? Man, times is changing, yeah? When I went in, we were about to drop a nuke on 'em any day. I get out, now they're in charge of our town. What's the guy got? Buncha them ex-KGB heavies?"
"I dunno. They say he's creepy old… that he's so good at chess that, when death comes for him, he challenges the Reaper to a game and always wins. You don't mess with a guy like that."
"Yeah… don't wanna get offed my first week out, 'specially not by some Ruskie bogeyman. I guess I'll sign up with the guy. Hope he don't take too much of a cut…"
GM Notes
Prince Sergey Urusov was born in 1829, became one of the premiere chess players of his age, and died in 1897. Death didn't stop him for long. Sergey claims that his skill at chess allows him to challenge Death and continue living. In actuality, he is a very strong-willed ghost, so corporeal and powerful as to seem alive. His original focus was to bring down the Tsars, but he refused to pass on after this was accomplished, and turned his focus to protecting the world from Anna.
Sensing that his brother was losing focus on the mission, and bored with the failing Soviet Union, The Bishop, as he is known in crime circles, began an elaborate plan to ensure that his brother and his enemy, Anna, both wound up in the same place. Fettered to his brother, that would mean he could go there too. He did, indeed, show up only shortly behind and began to gather temporal power among the criminals of the city. It is uncertain what his end game is, and he is not entirely rational. Fortunately, he is entirely humane, and he organizes crime for low bloodshed and is, somewhere in his heart, trying to save Cainites from themselves and reveal the greater monsters of the world, like Anna.
In the meantime, it's possible that a huge amount of what transpires in Atlanta is all according to his plan.

Art Annex studios may be displaced
If the proposed sale of the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center to the city of Tempe is completed later this month, the swim team won't be the only ASU program preparing to move to a new home.
The Art Annex, located just south of the swim complex, currently houses the studios of 13 students working on their Master of Fine Arts degrees.
Crow's donation statements clarified
ASU's Public Affairs office released a statement Tuesday clarifying remarks made by ASU President Michael Crow regarding donations to the College of Education and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
His comments led some of those who attended the meeting to believe that the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would receive $50 million donations.
RIAA 'Clean Slate' may stop suits
The recording industry announced Monday a way for people to avoid lawsuits by admitting they downloaded files illegally, and ASU administrators said students should seize the opportunity.
The Recording Industry Association of America agreed to stay out of lawsuits against anyone who joins its Clean Slate Program, but the program does not protect participants from being sued by other recording industry companies.
Visa laws, identity databases increase red tape for international students
Traveling here to study has become more difficult for ASU's international students, as changes to laws regarding foreign entry and exit have been made following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
ASU East: PTS lays out parking fee plans
ABOR required all universities to institute pay-for-parking at the beginning of 2003, but ASU East didn't start charging students until this semester so it could set up a parking and transit operation.
ASU East: Pilot pay printing program postponed
Although fliers posted around the ASU East Computing Commons are informing students that they will be charged for printing starting this fall, the debate is still on whether it will happen in the fall or spring.
The music industry slashes CD prices, but the party's over
The music industry's last-ditch effort to revive compact-disc sales with a massive price cut might have seemed downright visionary a few years ago, but now it smacks of desperation.
'Whoopi' lacks good script, decent supporting cast
I am confused. Whoopi Goldberg, on more than one occasion, has made me laugh. I've seen Sister Act multiple times and it never fails to crack me up. One would then think that with the right people she could make a great network sitcom, which is what her new show "Whoopi" should be, but isn't.
'Splendor' splendid, odd little film
Face it - life is boring. However, watching other people's lackluster lives is not. That's why we have reality TV. The film American Splendor encompasses those same homely B-sides of the American Dream we love to watch, except on a more intelligent level.
Sharon and Ellen enter Oprah territory
For every Oprah, Dr. Phil and Maury, there is a fistful of hopefuls who tried - and failed - to find an audience: Rob Nelson, Caroline Rhea, the guys of "The Other Half." Even John Walsh, who came to daytime last fall with a built-in audience from "America's Most Wanted," failed to click with viewers and barely got renewed for a second season. But hope springs eternal each TV season, and this fall is no different.
Cancer struggle led to a career high point for Warren Zevon
On Monday morning Warren Zevon's new album hit No. 1 on amazon.com's sales list. It was clear then that he was dead. Zevon did indeed die Sunday at his Los Angeles home after a year-long struggle with inoperable lung cancer. He was 56.
Review: 'Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'
Way before you thought you were Tiger Woods and Golden Tee was just a faint memory, Mario was teaching everyone about the game of golf. With the recently released Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, console golf games have become fun again.
Review: 'Madden NFL 2004'
When you get perfection, why mess with it? Da Vinci had to put the paintbrush down when he was done with the Mona Lisa. Shakespeare could only tweak Hamlet so much.
While it's hard to put a game in the same company as these legends, the John Madden video game series has the same meaning to sports video games as The Bard did to the written word.
Book's liberal criticism of right funny, on the money
Franken is at his best when talking about conservative columnist Ann Coulter, ex-CBS correspondent Bernie Goldberg and the big shots at Fox News. Coulter gets a special bit of vitriol from Franken for her blatant lying and vicious name-calling.
Editorial: Talented 'bad apples' ruin good teams
The saga that is taking place at Ohio State with Maurice Clarett should be an eye-opener. To ensure its future success, the ASU athletic department will need to make sure athletes like Clarett stay away from Tempe.

It's the guardian of stories, fighter of illiteracy, keeper of information, your very own research tool and friend: "The Librarian!" is coming to a toy store near you. Yet, librarians around the country are complaining.
Online elections will help get out the vote
As federal elections loom, security doubts are delaying paperless voting alternatives in Arizona and throughout the United States. This technology is the future of voting, and we must ask if it is efficient and safe.

The letters in response to recent columns, including a reader who said that laws are not made for future or past generations. The people will get legalized gay marriages if they want them, but it is still left up to them.

After a brief and relatively useless tenure, the Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas threw in the towel on Saturday. With enemies left, right and center, his resignation should come as no surprise.

Conan O'Brien's 10th anniversary prime-time special is approaching. It will celebrate the show's progression from a small-time production with a cult following to one of the high points of late-night television.
On the Web: Butt ugliness
I was not aware that ugliness was such a rare thing to behold that I should have to go on the Internet to find it. The mold in my refrigerator is ugly. Some politicians are ugly. Mullets are ugly, for Pete's sake.
Flirty fashions: Miniskirts unbelievably mini
It's time for President Crow to whip out that ruler because girls' hemlines are rising as high as Arizona's temperatures.
Despite their existence since the 1960s, miniskirts have been revolutionized once again, and ASU students are taking notice.
Hump Day Hoopla: 9/11 showed fans what matters
Two years ago today, one columnist wrote about how a foreign sense of excitement to the ASU football team ignited a then-rare 38-7 blowout of San Diego State. Since Sept. 11, 2001, everything has changed.
Hoops: Low happy to be with former teammates at ASU
Two states and a time zone away, freshman Chris Low feels at home with the Sun Devils. Aiding in his decision to come to ASU were his two former teammates already on the team: Ike Diogu and Allen Morill.
Devil Dish: NFL no place for crybabies like Williams
Marcus Williams told ESPN he is afraid that suing Bill Romanowski might jeopardize his NFL career worse than his orbital socket injury. Williams should settle with Romo and the Raiders, not with a judge and jury.

Considering the high expectations and controversy that have surrounded ASU's Hakim Hill since he arrived as one of the the 2001 recruiting class' gems, calling his career a "rollercoaster" would be an understatement.
Strength coach buffs up for women's competition
At 10 a.m. on ASU football's turf practice field, pedestrians can walk by and see a woman flipping a 440-pound tire across the field. That would be Liane Blyn, an assistant sports performance coach at ASU.

Sharon Osbourne Posts Nude Selfie Inspired By Kim Kardashian [PHOTO]
Sharon Osbourne channeled her inner Kim Kardashian and posted her very own NSFW pic to social media for all to see.
The 63-year-old TV host bared it all (with her lady parts blacked out, much like Kim K's pic) and captioned the photo with the inspiration behind her nakedness.
@kimkardashian you inspired me! #liberated #thetalk
Kim Kardashian recently penned an essay in the wake of the backlash she received for posting her own NSFW selfies. Clearly, Sharon took notice.
Lately, there has been much debate on the topic of women posting these types of photos. Some believe it is empowering while others believe it is setting a bad example for younger girls.
What are your thoughts? And who (didn't) wore it better—Sharon, or Kim?

We used our Spring Break to go to Oahu, Hawai'i.
This was such a big deal for our family. We had NEVER experienced a family vacation before. We had some memorable camping trips, but never traveled out of state all five of us for FUN.
The kids had been asking me to go to Hawai'i for a while, since we learned about the 50 States. I had told them they needed to learn how to swim. And they did. I was overdue in keeping my word!
We wouldn't have been able to do this without the income that AK Exploring Studies provides. Through it we paid for everything and took this vacation DEBT FREE. No worries on the way there, no worries on the way back. This truly helped it to be a family vacation we'll never forget because my husband and I were so relaxed, I think the kids got to enjoy a different version of us than the ones they get at home.
We stayed in Waikiki, near the beach. We had plenty of days just walking to the shoreline to get all salty and sandy. We discovered a beach we liked just a little south, called Kapi'olani Regional Park and did some boogie boarding there.
But the home educator mom in me couldn't just … beach lounge… so we did a lot of learning activities too. Like the Waikiki Aquarium, on a "rest day".
The Polynesian Cultural Center is the highlight of our entire trip there. A must go. We pulled out all the stops and paid for an "Ambassador Prime Rib Buffet" deal. Every show and attraction was phenomenal and my kids loved every "island" we visited (well, it didn't look like Caleb enjoyed it, but that's only because of sensory issues. Nothing the Center could've done; it was hot, and he's Alaskan, he didn't like it. He recalls only wonderful things from there!). The event that made the price totally worth it (more than half a crab and prime rib buffet dinner) was the Ha' Breath of Life show. It moved me to tears. Like, I know you don't want to fall into tourist traps where you wonder "Is this really worth the money?" so I'm here to tell you: YES! For two reasons: 1) You will never be able to "island hop" and get to know so many DIFFERENT Polynesian cultures for this price and 2) Every performer and employee is a foreign exchange student from the Island they represent. Your admission helps house and feed them while they attend school in Hawai'i in hopes of bettering their home.
We also did a whale watching and snorkeling tour. Go figure it was the only day that it was windy and rainy. The choppy waves led to some serious nausea and had I not been so sea sick I probably would've totally enjoyed their kalua pig buffet style lunch and four complimentary alcoholic drinks. They did, however, let us take home left overs and their food, microwaved a day later, was amazing.
The whales we got to see and the snorkeling experience made the experience worth it. Take it from someone who grew up snorkeling off the coast of Florida… It was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
And it gave me the bug to snorkel some more (and take my poor husband on an enjoyable, definitely shark free trip) so we went on a date (that's right! Kids stayed in the hotel!) to Hanauma Bay. This is the place to see fish if you are afraid to swim. You can literally see the fish from the sand. Find a spot that is knee deep and put on your snorkel – you will see very colorful fish and it will make it all worth your while.
More importantly, it was 9 days of no nagging, chores, homework, or grading. Literally no worries. A lot of snuggling, Pokemon Go, and sun burning. We met up with a church that meets at the beach called the Waikiki Beach Gathering thanks to Instagram and Hashtags and we worshiped together at the park that Sunday.
And I realize now that we need a God-ordained "Family Retreat" more often than we've done. Certainly can't wait another 14 years of marriage to do that again. Probably won't be able to go annually like my kids are asking. To be honest, I can't wait to go back!

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been confirmed to perform at the 2019 Grammy Awards, where they'll team up with Post Malone.
The Recording Academy have announced more performers for this year's event, which takes place in Los Angeles on February 10, including the LA rock band and the 'Better Now' rapper.
Further details about the collaboration, included how many songs they will perform and what those tracks are, are yet to be confirmed.
The performance might not be Malone's only moment on the stage at the ceremony next month. He is nominated for four awards at the event, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best Pop Solo Performance. You can see the full list of nominations here.
The star is no stranger to teaming up with heritage rock acts, either. At last year's VMAs, he joined Aerosmith to play his own track 'Rockstar' before running through a medley of some of their classics.
Joining Red Hot Chill Peppers and Malone in the new raft of confirmations are Brandi Carlile, Miley Cyrus, and H.E.R. They will perform alongside the previously announced Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Cardi B, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, and Dan + Shay.
Meanwhile, fans recently found what they believe to be footage of Malone's old metalcore band and his pre-fame Souncloud account. In a clip filmed in 2010, the rapper is thought to be seen playing guitar with the band Ashley's Arrival and pulling a crabcore pose while covering Asking Alexandria's 'The Final Episode (Let's Change Channel)'.
