Gaza rockets kill 3 Israelis, hit near Tel Aviv
Ibrahim Barzak and Josef Federman
Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian militants barraged Israel with nearly 150 rockets on Thursday, killing three people and striking the southern outskirts of Tel Aviv as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip.
As nightfall approached, the fighting showed no signs of slowing, and the rocket attack on the city of Rishon Lezion, by far the deepest target reached by Gaza militants so far, raised the likelihood of an even tougher Israeli response.
Defense officials say Israel is prepared to launch a ground invasion into Gaza if necessary. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army was prepared for a "significant widening" of its Gaza offensive.
"No government would tolerate a situation where nearly a fifth of its people live under a constant barrage of rockets and missile fire, and Israel will not tolerate this situation," he said. "This is why my government has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to conduct surgical strikes against the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. And this is why Israel will continue to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people."
The fighting, the heaviest in four years, has brought life to a standstill on both sides of the border, with schools canceled and people huddled indoors.
Israel and Hamas have largely observed an informal truce for the past four years. But in recent weeks, the calm unraveled in a bout of rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes. From Israel's perspective, Hamas escalated tit-for-tat fighting in recent days with a pair of attacks: an explosion in a tunnel along the Israeli border and a missile attack on an Israeli military jeep that seriously wounded four soldiers.
Israeli officials say they have not yet decided on whether to launch a ground invasion in Gaza, and it's not clear what would trigger it. But a successful strike on Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial and cultural capital, would mark a significant escalation.
Although the rocket in Rishon Lezion, some 60 kilometers, or 40 miles north of Gaza, landed harmlessly in an open area, it illustrated the significant capabilities that Hamas militants have developed in recent years. Gaza militants had previously hit the city in 2009 fighting as well.
Israel launched the offensive on Wednesday, killing the head of Hamas' militant wing and destroying dozens of rocket launchers. Israel has made special efforts to destroy launchers for Hamas' Iranian-made "Fajr" rockets, which are believed capable of flying even deeper into Israel. Continued...
Israel's military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, says the air operation has delivered a "strong blow" to militants' launching sites.
In all, 15 Palestinians have been killed and more than 100 wounded in fighting on Wednesday and Thursday. Three Israelis were killed earlier Thursday when a rocket struck an apartment building in the southern town of Kiryat Malachi. The Israeli military says three soldiers were wounded in a separate rocket attack.
The military said its air campaign has hit 230 targets across Gaza, and its "Iron Dome" rocket defense system has intercepted some 90 incoming rockets.
Still, Palestinian militants continued to launch rockets into Israel throughout the day.

LUMBERTON — A surgical team at Southeastern Regional Medical Center , a part of Southeastern Health, performed its first da Vinci Single-Site cholecystectomy on Feb. 21. The patient's gallbladder was removed through one tiny incision in the belly button, making the procedure virtually scarless.
Led by Dr. Eric Velazquez and using robotic assistance, surgeons removed the gallbladder through an incision of approximately 1 inch.
The Food and Drug Administration cleared the specialized instruments for use with the da Vinci Surgical System in December 2011.
"Neither robotic surgery nor single-incision surgery is new, but combining the two to remove the gallbladder requires additional training and special equipment," Velazquez said. "To be one of the first hospitals to offer this technically advanced surgery demonstrates Southeastern Health's leadership in providing patients with the most up-to-date minimally invasive surgical options."
Velazquez is one of a small group of surgeons in the country who has received training to perform the surgery.
"Single-Site instruments used with the da Vinci platform are the next step in the evolution of surgical technologies," Velazque said. "We are truly excited to be a leader today in the surgical treatment of tomorrow."
Potential benefits may include virtually scarless results, minimal pain, low blood loss, fast recovery, a short hospital stay and high patient satisfaction. The surgery can be performed in about one hour with a typical hospital stay of less than 24 hours.
During the procedure, the surgeon sits comfortably at a console, viewing a 3D, high-definition image of the patient's anatomy. The surgeon uses controls below the viewer to move the instrument arms and camera. In real-time, the system translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into more precise movements of the miniaturized instruments inside the patient.
Unlike traditional robotic surgeries requiring three to five small incisions, this new technology allows for a single incision in the belly button where instruments are placed and the diseased gallbladder is removed.
Most people who require gallbladder removal are candidates for the robotic, single-incision surgery. According to the American College of Surgeons, surgery is the recommended treatment for gallbladder pain from gallstones and non-functioning gallbladders.
More than 1 million people in the United States have their gallbladder removed each year. Most are performed with traditional laparoscopy using several incisions.
Southeastern Regional offers various types of robotic-assisted surgeries. In addition to gallbladder removal, surgeons perform robotic-assisted surgery in hysterectomy, myomectomy (removal of fibroids); endometriosis resection; bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries); adrenalectomy; splenectomy; hiatal hernia; and nissen fundoplication for reflux disease. Southeastern Region also offers a wide range of minimally-invasive conventional laparoscopic surgeries.
For information on robotic and other minimally invasive surgeries at SRMC, call 910-671-5499 or visit www.southeasternhealth.org.

Lockheed Martin Corp. has won a $111 million Army contract to provide logistics to support the modernization of targeting and night vision capabilities on Apache helicopters.
The contract, known as the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor Performance Based Logistics contract, is a fixed-price, performance-based vehicle.
The contract "delivers a support solution that reduces costs when compared to earlier approaches, while also providing strong levels of performance and value to our customer," said David Belvin, program director of the Apache fire control programs in Lockheed's Missiles and Fire Control business.
It has a one-year base and three one-year options, which will bring its value to $375 million and extend work through December 2015, if exercised.It will reduce operations and support costs, while enabling mission readiness and driving reliability and maintainability improvements, Lockheed said. It will upgrade infrared sensors and associated electronics.
"The program has been credited with improving fleet readiness, reducing average flying hour cost and reducing the Army's long-term inventory investment. This enables us to achieve our ultimate goal – better support to the soldier," said Kathy Drysdale, chief of the Avionics and Radar division for the Apache Attack Helicopter.

Product Reviews
Caxton 17" Basin Undermount Bathroom Sink
A bit misleading
The product is basically sound and well made; however, the picture of the sink does not reveal that there is no overflow protection. This was a replacement sink of which there are two and soon we'll replace the other and it makes me slightly uncomfortable that these sinks are not overflow protected.
June 25, 2008
Very nice sink
This sink is perfect for my bathroom remodel. We had cultured marble sinks that were custom built and it was almost impossible to find something similar in color and size. It is much deeper than what we had previously, but I rather like the way it looks as an undermount with the granite. We have other Kohler fixtures not from this series, and the Caxton biscuit matched with what we have.

Yes, it did happen on that night (Nov 29). I used the future tense only to echo the newspaper article...but it did happen.
She's quite an active lady, in her 80th year...she turned 79 on November 20 '04 so, technically, she's into her 80th year! I look forward to the 80th birthday gala next year!!! Hurrah for Maya Plisetskaya, giving hope & cheer to all of us ladies past the age of Brittany Spears!!!! (wink-wink)

I would go to the large Dom Kniga ("House of Books") store on Novy Arbat Street, the huge boulevard that connects the Ukrania Hotel (where I know a lot of the North Am tour groups going to Worlds are staying) with the Kremlin/center of town. Dom Kniga is on the north side of the street, about halfway between the Ukrania & the Kremlin. Go to the dance/ballet section on the 2nd storey. It should be there (along with lots of other goodies). Dom Kniga is the government book store, so not only do they have the best selection (most titles) but the prices tend to be better than in private shops.
Alternately, go to the Bolshoi Theater's little shop, in a small building behind the main theater...across the street from Tsum Dept Store....but they tend to have few copies of hard-cover books and sell-out quickly on practically everything. I usually go there for hard-copy back issues of the Russian 'Balet' magazine & VHSs and DVDs. [Hint: Russian DVDs tend to be playable on any plasma-screen computer or TV set, incl US....VHS tapes are not.]
Sorry that I don't have street addresses; it's all in my head.

I've just read your post about Plisetskaya and I am interested in this new photo album. Is there any way to get it in the USA? Or, if not, is there any Russian mailorder bookstore, a kind of Amazon, that one can get it from. I read some Russian but I don't have cyrilic characters on my keyboard. Do you know of any such place and could give me a link? I would be very grateful!
Thank you in advance,

Another thought: Perhaps a US-based on-line store for Russians-in-exile would have it? That's probably a safer bet, truth be told. Original books are outrageously expensive for Russians on fixed incomes. It would not be very profitable to have an on-line book service within Russia...but there could be -- the ARE -- Russian book & DVD/VHS online services here in North America.
Feel free to search & I will, too. At least that's a start...find the shop, then we'll ask them about the recent ballet books.
p.s. - As you live in CT, you're probably fairly close to NYC, right? There are several Russian book & video stores in Brighton Beach a.k.a. "Little Odessa."
Down the East coast....There's one in the Silver Spring area of Wash, DC, which I'll look for, on line. Wish I could give more specific info at this time. Maybe other forum members are in the know? - Natalia

The above has Maximova's autobio:
Here's another store, apparently based in the US, but linked to the St. Pete Dom Knigi. I'd call them, even though the catalog may not show many ballet books.
Finally, upon further 'digging,' I see that the above is linked to this store, for which there is no telephone shown on the above website...but, again, something to explore, in the NYC area:

Considering the cost and availability of relatively good production equipment as well as the popularity of portugal the man, this video was pretty bad. Ptm were great, just wish it was filmed half way decent. Not sure why atlantic records would be period to present this. There are better people out there doing moderate work for free, myself included.

someone's bitter they didn't get asked to film this video ;)
- October 21, 2011 at 2:43:00 PM PDT
Fuck that first guy, this video is very original and unique.
- October 21, 2011 at 3:01:00 PM PDT
He's lucky he's anonymous. With an attitude like that he'd be lucky to EVER get a job in the industry.

He was probably expecting a high end music video. Sometimes the dirty is better than the clean.
- October 21, 2011 at 3:44:00 PM PDT
Love Portugal. The Man. Going to see them Tomorrow in Boston @ the Paradise... They should be putting out better videos for their amazing songs. I wish they would make their videos like they do their Album Art.
- October 21, 2011 at 3:44:00 PM PDT
@the first comment
Dude lay off looks like they had their friend record it while they went for a walk down the street. Though considering the cost and availability of decent computer equipment I'm not suprised that people like you leave dumbass comments like that.. - October 21, 2011 at 4:13:00 PM PDT
This band is amazing, between this and the live review in the other post, they can never do any wrong. I hope they come back to Cali soon.
- October 21, 2011 at 8:16:00 PM PDT
- Robert Gruevski said...
The first guy is kind of correct. Compared to all of their other acoustic videos this one was without the full band, and in lesser quality. I think they should have at least had better quality. All around though it's an awesome song and they're an awesome band. No disrespect, just constructive criticism.
- October 22, 2011 at 12:43:00 AM PDT
Just another attempt of A Take Away Show gone wrong
- October 22, 2011 at 9:27:00 AM PDT
All of a sudden everyone is an Ebert? Commenting on the video's style.... Who cares, its pretty unique and cool and very daring if you ask me.

So happy to see this! These kinds of videos were a real treat in the early days of the band, and this album really lends itself to this style. 1 more?
- October 22, 2011 at 11:12:00 AM PDT
- Charles said...
This is as pure as you could possibly get.... an under production... straight from instrument to sound wave to microphone with little in between. For those who don't respect some sort of alternate view of recording, just go listen to the album recording and stop expecting more than what you probably didn't pay for.

Remembrance: 1912 South Pole Trip Ends Tragically
By editor
One hundred years ago this week, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott reached the South Pole with a small crew of men. They all perished on the return trip. In 2008 on Weekend Edition, NPR's Daniel Zwerdling reported from the South Pole on Scott's tragic journey. To mark the 100th anniversary, we reprise that story.

Does Weight Gain Affect Your Relationship?
With the holidays coming up, it's inevitable that we are most likely going to gain weight. However, the upside to that is that it's more forgiven now than it would be at any other time of year. It really doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or single, no one likes not fitting into clothes so comfortably anymore, the extra pouch on top of your jeans, etc. Do I really need to depress all of us even more and keep going?
This affects both sides though. If you are in a relationship, do you feel secure in gaining those few pounds? Do you feel pressure to stay thin for your significant other? And on the flip side of this, if you're single, do you feel like it would/will be harder for you to find someone? Do you feel more insecure when you go out? The truth of the matter is that we should all love the skin we're in. I know that it's easier said than done. If you're in a relationship - whether it's new or old - that person should love you for YOU and if that's not the case you shouldn't be together in the first place. That goes for all the singles out there too, except you all should love yourselves for who you are and that way you will bring love in.
I've always heard that when you're insecure or looking too hard for love, it's written all over your face- and I believe it. We should all be able to be ourselves in and out of closed doors. There's nothing wrong in indulging as long as you don't overdo it. Have a cup of eggnog, enjoy that candy cane martini - and the candy cane that went along with it. Just know your limits and when to stop. Too much of anything can't be good.
What do you guys think? Agree/Disagree?

Amethyst Jewelry
Though many would guess that Amethyst's purple hues would inspire passion, the gem has historically been worn to purify the body and offer protection from a seducer. Today, the amethyst is generally recognized as a symbol of friendship and February birthdays. Its color can vary from a translucent light violet to an opaque dark purple.

Corn Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 178167
Long Term: Up Change: +3000
Overnight Trade: N +3/4 Z Unch
Opening Calls: Mixed
Corn ending stocks were left unchanged at 801 million. This is exactly what happened last year. Lower than expected stocks followed by no changes in the April supply and demand report. Many traders will be disappointed by this since expectations were for an estimate closer to 700 million than 800. An initial break to the downside should be expected, then traders should go back to trading the fundamentals that matter, which is strong basis and strong demand.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: -81603
Long Term: Down Change: -2000
Overnight Trade: Chicago: N +4 1/2 KC: N +3 1/4
Opening Calls: 3-5 Higher
Wheat ending stocks were cut to 793 million due to an increase in feed usage. We still have plenty of wheat on hand, but it is nice that USDA finally recognized the increase in wheat feeding. With stocks still near 800 million there isn't a lot of reason to see the wheat move higher, but perhaps this report will slow the descent.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 202708
Long Term: Up Change: +5000
Overnight Trade: N +10 X +10 1/2
Opening Calls: 10-15 Higher
US soybean ending stocks were cut to 250 million bushels due to increases in both crush and exports. USDA is probably still under estimating exports, but this is typical of USDA and how they make slow incremental changes. 250 million bushels is still a lot of old crop soybeans, but the fear is that the old crop estimate will continue to shrink and the new crop will be extremely tight. Buy breaks and keep looking for the July contract to reach $14.70.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: 10-30 Higher
Live cattle futures got the week off to a more positive start, with the lead April contract posting triple digit gains, while June and August settled modestly lower. The bull spreading in the market could be a positive sign for a sagging cash market. Asking prices are $124+ in the south and $195+ in the north as the week begins. Overnight trade remains positive, with the front four months trading .15-.30 higher. Reactions from this morning monthly grain supply/demand report could move the market.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Call: 20-40 Higher
Feeder cattle closed very mixed on Monday, with April off .57 into the close and the next two months slightly higher. Sharp losses in old crop corn heading into the grain report this morning supported deferred feeders. Technical indicators remain oversold, while we are seeing some positive divergences in the stochastics. The grain report is likely the key to today's trading in the feeders.
Schwieterman: Reactions to WASDE could move cattle market

Price Range comparison In order to provide meaningful price comparisons this website compares the Per Person Sharing Rate or, where this is not available, the Average Price Per Person for a unit, based on its maximum occupancy.When Homes and Villas are selected as the search criteria, the full daily rate for the unit is used for price comparison and display irrespective of the number of people the unit sleeps.* This accommodation is only available as a unit. It has been included in these search results as the average price per person based on maximum occupancy falls within the selected price range. However, the price displayed is the full unit price.
Johannesburg, or Jozi, as its affectionately known, is South Africas commercial hub. It is a fast-paced place and while it may not be blessed with Cape Towns exceptional beauty, accommodation in Johannesburg is popular for a number of other reasons. Aside from the electric energy here, Joburg is an extraordinarily friendly city and one buzzing with creativity and innovation.
Being situated inland on a plateau, Johannesburgs climate is dry and warm, with afternoon thunder storms in summer and a piercing chill on winter mornings. This is unlikely to affect the traveller too much though.
Within Joburg there are a number of interesting things to occupy oneself. Many people claim to know the horrendous story of South Africas Apartheid regime, but the excellent collection of multi-media exhibitions and old artefacts at the Apartheid Museum will really bring it to life. JAG (Johannesburg Art Gallery) is another place worth a visit. This large gallery has 15 exhibition halls showcasing a wide variety of local and international artwork ranging from Dutch 17th century pieces to contemporary South African works. It is a Johannesburg institution!
If you are looking for street life in Jozi, head to Melville, Norwood or Parkhurst, pretty suburbs renowned for side-walk cafes and restaurants the overflow onto the pavements. These areas are particularly celebrated for their mix of African and international cuisine. The suburb of Melville is a popular tourist one and also happens to be both a party hub and the gay epicentre of Joburg with a number of designated gay bars. Other suburbs with a poppin nightlife include Sandton and Rosebank.
Joburg is home to a number of up and coming neighbourhoods such as the Maboneng Precinct, which is worth a visit if you want to see contemporary Johannesburg at its best. It is also home to a trendy Saturday market, numerous celebrated restaurants and funky boutique stores.
For a completely different cultural experience you can take a tour of Soweto, South Africas largest township. This rambling satellite town is a mixture of government housing and informal settlement, creating a frenetic buzz of people. Despite the poverty evident in this area though, there are many community projects and entrepreneurial schemes to enlighten and inspire you.
Johannesburg is also conveniently located with the Sterkfontein Caves, an internationally significant archaeological site famed for being the cradle of human kind, a day trip away. The Kruger National Park can also be reached within a few hours.
If you want a glimpse of South Africas City of Gold, named after the gold reefs which lead to Johannesburgs development, book your Johannesburg accommodation soon and make use of Sleeping-OUTs convenient and safe booking service.

What's your record?
I read a blog post from one of my favorite authors Brian Keene who had bragged over twitter that he'd wrote about 80,000 words over the weekend. The blog post explains how he did it. If you don't want to read it, basically he says that he was under the gun on several deadlines, already had in his head what he was going to write and had the weekend completely to himself with no distractions, but still...80K? Damn. That's a novel. Maybe not the most lengthy novel but a novel nonetheless.
Which got me thinking about my personal best which at the time I was pretty proud of. I, like most of you I imagine, spend my days working for "The Man" and have a family (a 7 month old is not typically conducive to productive writing by the way), so most of the time I am happy to write between 1,000 and 2,000 a day during the week and between 3-4,000 on weekend days. This is rough draft numbers by the way. My rewriting numbers might only be about half that amount. Anyway, one glorious Sunday, I found myself sitting alone in an amazingly clean house with no obligations other than to my characters and I pounded out about 12.5k. Not too shabby. Not 80k but I was pleased.
So back to my question, what's your personal best? I'm curious about others writing speeds/habits.
Oh yeah. Heres the blog.

You should read the blog post tristania. It goes onto say that he didn't post this to put down people with low word counts and that as long as you are putting pen to paper consistently that is all that matters. Of course I just told you what it says, but he puts it in a much better way than I do.

Re: What's your record?
Me too tristaia, slow seems to be the way that suits me. We'll what I mean is, while I find the creativity portion of writing easy, words are vomited onto the laptop; trouble is they need bucket loads of reviewing. So |I guess 90% of my writing is editing.
I'm hoping as I stop making infantile mistakes I will gain a better balance.
For the moment the blog does not seem to load will try later.

Re: What's your record?
I remember a week when I got in the zone and it was so fabulous it made me want to give up my day job and find a garret to live in. Otherwise, in normal life, I'm more like c.e jones. I did a writing workshop and part of it was to write something about something. Then we would read out our bits. Well, others had pages of writing in their 5 or 10 minutes and I would have half a page. I would look up furtively from my white sheet and see scribbling hands that looked as though they would suffer cramp any second. Then my mind would go blank and my mouth dry and at reading time you could barely hear me mumble - the only fortunate thing was my contribution was short. Writing slowly is how I write. What Live Evil says about just writing is what I was told. The first and most important step to being a writer is to show up on the page every single day. And don't edit your first draft. Just write the thing.

Re: What's your record?
Hmmm. I wrote my short story Natalie's House of Sin in one sitting if I recall. I just got swept away in the flood. It weighed in at just under 5k. Took me about 4 hours (which truly is NOT the norm, okay).

Re: What's your record?
Brian Keene is quite obviously not a married woman with children. I'd like to see him snatch a WHOLE WEEKEND to himself devoted entirely to writing otherwise!!
Not that I'm insanely jealous or anything... ;P

Hi Wendy, oh what I'd give to have a Whole Weekend to write and I'm a bloke. I have two teenage kids who think I'm a taxi driver and a dog that says 'Take me to the beach, take me to the beach.' He's lovely though.

Re: What's your record?
When its all in my head I MAY manage to write 2000 words after a long day at work + construction sit + 2 small kids. Most of the written stuff is crap and I have to re-write and delete a lot of it. So 80.000 words - OK! No problem! Give me red wine, 20 joints, and three days all for myself. Uh! And a maid.
The question is how crappy the 80K piece is ;-)

[BSE] There are many copies, and they have a Plot.
Welcome to Battlestar Galactica Equestria: The Board Game, a game of politics, betrayal, survival, and ! Take on the roles of the last survivors of ponykind, enduring the relentless Ponylon assault in their adorable wooden spaceships, or the villainous Ponylon infiltrators trying to destroy them from within!
This game will use the Pegasus expansion and Kobol Objective, with three humans Ponies, two Cylon Ponylon infiltrators, and possibly one Cylon Ponylon Leader with a random Sympathetic Agenda. If there are six players interested in playing, we'll use a Ponylon Leader (or the Sympathetic Cylon loyalty card); if we can only scare up 5, or you guys voice a preference for a 5-player game, then we won't use the Ponylon Leader. Simple enough.
The rules for Battlestar Galactica can be found below:
Rules for Battlestar Galactica
Rules for the Pegasus Expansion
FAQs and Errata
Some things have been tweaked to help facilitate online play:
- At the bottom of every GM post, there will be a helpful Action Queue that announces what we are waiting for to continue the game. This will usually be the current player's move/action, but could also include such things as a decision from the President/Admiral.
- If you are at the top of the Action Queue, you have 24 hours to post/PM to complete it. Once the 24 hours pass, the top of the action queue will be auto-resolved, usually as a "do nothing" action.
- Skill checks will have 24 hour time limit. After 24 hours, the check will be resolved.
- If you do not play cards for the skill check, I'll let the other players berate you. If I have to auto-resolve a choice for you, 1st and 2nd offenses get a warning, 3rd time you get replaced. It might seem a bit harsh, but this is needed to keep the game moving.
- There will be leniency with the 24 hour rule over weekends.
- All game actions should be bolded in Mafia style (eg: ##move to Communications or ##use "Executive Order" on Rainbow Dash).
- All face-down cards, including Quorum Cards and Skill Cards will be delivered to the players via PM/AIM. If your draw is straightforward (eg: Celestia) your cards will be auto-drawn for you at the beginning of your turn. Players with multi-skills (eg: Twilight Sparkle) or abilities allowing them to draw cards (eg: Ditzy Doo's OPG) need to post in the thread what type of card they are drawing (eg: ##draw 1 Politics 1 Engineering). Discards are to be posted openly in the thread.
- Skill Checks are handled slightly differently than in the regular rules. Players must announce the number of cards they are playing in the thread, then PM me the specific cards they are playing. This can be done in any order. Once everyone has PMed me, the check will be resolved.
- During Skill Checks, players may play cards in any order they choose. You do not have to start with the current player. You can even play cards that have to be played "before cards are played into the skill check", because in all likelihood you didn't know there even was a skill check before those other people played cards into it; in this case, the people who already played cards into it will have their actions undone, and choose what they want to play again.
- You may "pre-load" actions ahead of time; (eg: ##If my Viper is attacked, I'll use "Evasive Maneuvers".) This should be done via PM. Think about this, especially as many skill cards are very timing-specific!
- Players do not choose the order in which Cylon ships are activated, as in the normal rules. Instead, ships are activated starting in Sector Alpha and proceeding clockwise around Galactica.
- A few days after each Skill Check is completed, I will edit out the specific cards revealed in it and just leave the total result -- you wouldn't have a photographic memory for Skill Checks in an in-person game, and leaving a record of every check even after the cards are discarded and reshuffled makes hiding as a Cylon much harder.
In addition to the Secrecy Rules on p. 20 of the rulebook, these rules are specifically for online play:
- Players may not edit their posts.
- Players may not quote anything from PMs or IMs. This includes cards, messages from the mod, or messages from other players.
- The first violation from a player will result in a warning; the second will result in a MODKILL. So try not to break the rules!

PEN America Blog
What others owe to me is none of my business. Kierkegaard writes, "Christianly understood you have absolutely nothing to do with what others do to you." "Essentially," he continues, "you have only to do with yourself before God." Once again, the move to inwardness does not turn human beings away from the world, it is rather, "a new version of what other men call reality, this is reality."
Joshua Edwards stopped by the PEN America offices to record an excerpt, entitled "Red Storm Days," from his poem "Agonistes." Complete with hustling, bustling PEN America offices noises.
If ever there were a textbook case of outrageous government conduct, this is it. Almost any one of these things would be sufficient to warrant dismissal. Cumulatively, it is not even a close call. Mohammad Jawad has been denied justice, due process, and fair treatment for nearly six years. It's time for that to end. Right here and right now.
Screaming mostly / I like to dance dark woods / stony hills lonely & moody / god I can scream
When my husband and I started writing young adult novels 20 years ago, I never expected our biggest obstacle to be the Nervous Parent. I think that's because I grew up in a devout Mormon household where my parents were nervous about what I did or didn't do, but not at all nervous about what I read. The idea that I could do anything and be anyone started with Heidi, which my mother and I read lying side by side on the floor, reading alternating chapters aloud.
In regard to the gods, / their secrets, who knew human love / wanted darkness. // Signs were many. Years facing / the gods led to scorn. Nothing is. / Of this earth, nothing is told about myths / made to breathe merely // a hundred times.
Join PEN Members Elliott Holt, Alina Simone, and Leigh Stein for a night of reading and singing during Lit Crawl Brooklyn. It's a pub crawl, with literature...
"If your love has died / Do not grieve / Laugh at love / And deceive with laughter / An unyielding sorrow." To be honest, we had to control ourselves hard from bursting out with laughter. At this age, what could she even have to do with love?!
The formative experience of reading cannot be ignored. We are not just the product of a family or of a society, of a religion or of an ethnicity, of a wound and of a repudiation; we are, lastly, also the product of our reading.
Join PEN Members Jonathan Dee, Jennifer Gilmore, Ben Greenman, Leigh Newman, and Joan Silber for a joint reading and signing at one of the best indy bookstore in NYC, WORD in Greenpoint.

Police Band, Jerash; Photo BDM 2008 |
Better scribes than I have written glowingly of Jordan's magnetism. A relatively new nation, the country includes some of the world's oldest inhabited sites. It's not only on the ancient Fertile Crescent, it's also on the Rift Valley. If you are into archaeological, if you are into biblical, if you are into cultural, if you are into photography, or just plain scenic awe, the country amazes from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. Truly majestic.
At Petra; Photo BDM 2008 |
Wadi Rum desert is in the south; descending into it from a plateau is spectacular, certainly one of the world's most extraordinary places. We cross the railway famously bombed by T.E. Lawrence, to access the modest Welcome Centre in the protected area. One of the local women's co-op handicrafts shop is here. The tiny support village is full of camels. I know because it's my second visit here and each time was different.
Photo BDM 2007 |
Like most Jordan women, my guide Nadine spurns the hijab. Myself is wrapped up more than she is, against the sun and the possibility of blowing sand. We go well beyond any sign of civilization and on my behalf she haggles fiercely with some camel handlers in Arabic. Nadine does everything fiercely, including telling raucous jokes.
Finally. The others tear off in their kidney-splitting jeep to bash some dunes and inspect ancient inscriptions. I get a couple of hours as Queen of the Desert. The arrangement involves a female and her baby who must not be separated. This tells me the colt is less than five years old. The boy who leads me is very serious with responsibility for the animals. Good thing he's along because he knows where we are going. All is sandy desert in every direction to the horizon, with gigantic mystical rock outcropping here and there. If by some flight of imagination I were allowed to trek alone—unthinkable of course—no question I would be lost, wandering from one isolated cliff to the next, until someone finds my dessicated corpse splayed across the hump of the steadfast camel.

There was a slow line at check-in, but I was recognized as a Priority Club member. The room on the first floor was clean. The king-sized bed was comfortable and exceptionally... More

Welcome Paula Chinick, President for the 2012-2013 term.
Congratulations, Paula!
California Writers Club Tri-Valley Branch
Tri-Valley Branch
Welcome Paula Chinick, President for the 2012-2013 term.
Congratulations, Paula!
As this term winds down, I reflect on what we've shared. Speakers like Victoria Zackheim gave us tricks for getting an agent. Martha Engber's workshop informed us of the importance of "Show vs. Tell." At Winterfest, we discovered the hidden artistic talents of several Tri-Valley members. Robert Dugoni's workshop took us to new heights with character and plot building. Linda Lee gave us eight important elements for building websites.
We developed a new logo "Write On," and a beautifully redesigned website. We've started our second branch anthology and completed our second annual High School Writing Contest. I am proud to be a part of Tri-Valley Writers.
