Radical Prayer: Love in Action
Matthew Fox
Radical prayer, Matthew Fox says, is "the utterance of your heart." He envisions living every moment with awareness that all thoughts, feelings and actions have a profound impact on everyone and everything. This 7 ½ hour, 6-CD set is his testament to the power of prayer to change your life and change our world.
A spiritual theologian and the founder and president of the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland, California, Fox has worked for the past three decades to recover Christianity's lost and mistranslated mystical teachings. He was awarded the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award in 1995, and is the author of many books, including Passion for Creation; Prayer: A Radical Response to Life; One River, Many Wells; Creativity: Where the Divine and Human Meet, and the bestselling Original Blessing.
In this series, Matthew Fox shares insights from teachers such as Lao Tzu, Thomas Merton, Rabbi Heschel and the Dalai Lama to guide the listener towards prayer that is a "radical response to life" from one minute to the next.

Adalbert Stifter´s Monument is situated in the writer's natal house. The building can be characterized as a small-town ground floor cottage with the farming estate. In archival documentation it was mentioned for the first time as early as the beginning of 17th century.
Come join us for a trip through time! The new Castle Museum bring you to the times of the Lords of Krumlov, Rosenbergs and other noble houses residing in Český Krumlov over the centuries and transforming its appearance. You can see a number of precious artifacts from the Castle depositories and you can see films from the beginning of the 20th century in the cinema.
The aim of the museum exhibition in the ground floor of a house at the mill flume in the center of the town is to present documentation of the restoration of the city, which is detected by the development of interiors and facades of the building and some details of various local crafts townhouses.
Welcome in the Museum Fotoatelier Seidel! In unique place where tradition of photography sprang up in the 19th century, in place where Time stood still.
This small museum was founded thanks to the Village Authority in Bujanov, in cooperation with the Society for the Maintenace of the Horse-drawn Railway, and the South Bohemian Museum in České Budějovice.
Exposition is installed in two ground floor rooms. The first room introduces history of village Hořice na Šumavě and surrounding municipalities.
Unique technical monument, as Schvarzenberk's channel surely deserves its own museum.
In ex-abbay is located history of the post since the 16th Century till today.
Fairy Tale House in Český Krumlov - Puppet Cabinet of the National Museum - The puppets have been borrowed from the Theatre Department of the National Museum and from the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague.
At the present time the Regional Museum administers 22 000 registered items of the collection fund, i.e. next to 34 000 objects. The museum library contains a set of 5 000 books, more than 1/5 has a collection character.

Men's basketball faces Sweet 16 squad Richmond
Complete Game Notes
About Tonight's Game
The Spartans close out 2011 when they visit Atlantic 10 power Richmond for a Friday afternoon tilt ... UNCG is hoping to snap an 8-game losing streak which dates back to an 87-65 loss to North Carolina A&T on Nov. 28 ... Richmond enters the game fresh from a 77-61 win over Liberty on Wednesday ... the Spiders, a Sweet 16 team last season, have lost four of their last six games after opening the season with a 6-2 mark ... UNCG is 0-3 all-time against the Spiders, including a 63-53 loss last season in Greensboro ... this is the third straight season the teams have met in a series which originated during the 1997-98 campaign.
Dement Steps Aside as Men's Basketball Coach; Miller Named as Interim
UNCG men's basketball head coach Mike Dement and Director of Athletics Kim Record on Dec. 13 reached a mutual agreement that Dement will no longer serve as head coach, effective immediately. A national search for a permanent men's basketball coach will be conducted.
Assistant coach Wes Miller was named as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
"In the interests of the long-term health of the men's basketball program, Mike and I have agreed that a change is necessary in order for the program to move forward," said Record. "Coach Dement has been professional, ethical and committed to leading our efforts to enhance men's basketball with the program's move to the Greensboro Coliseum and the nonconference scheduling philosophy put in place over the last three seasons. We thank him for his contributions to UNCG's basketball program."
Dement was in the seventh season of his second tenure as head coach of the Spartans. He returned to UNCG on April 9, 2005, after previously serving as head coach from 1991-95. In 11 total seasons as UNCG's head coach, Dement posted a 124-181 record. The 124 victories are a school record for men's basketball.
UNCG's first men's basketball head coach in the school's Division I era, Dement coached the Spartans to a Big South Conference championship and a school-record 23 wins during the 1994-95 season before leaving to take a head coaching position at SMU.
Dement is 329-368 in 25 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
Miller, 28, is in his second season on staff with the Spartans. He has previous Division I coaching experience at both Elon and High Point. A native of Charlotte, Miller lettered three seasons at North Carolina, helping the Tar Heels to the 2005 national championship. He graduated from UNC in 2007 with a degree in political science.
America's Youngest Head Coach
With his promotion to interim head coach Wes Miller now becomes the youngest Division I head coach in the country:
Coach Birthdate Age
Wes Miller, UNCG Jan. 28, 1983 28
Andy Toole, Robert Morris Sept. 11, 1980 31
Jason Capel, Appalachian State Jan. 15, 1980 31
Brian Wardle, Wisconsin-Green Bay Oct. 9, 1979 32
Archie Miller, Dayton Oct. 30, 1978 33
Josh Pastner, Memphis Sept. 26, 1977 34
Steve Masiello, Manhattan Sept. 2, 1977 34
Shaka Smart, VCU April 8, 1977 34
Michael White, Louisiana Tech March 2, 1977 34
Brad Stevens, Butler Oct. 22, 1976 35
VCU Leftovers
Sophomore forward David Williams grabbed a career-high nine rebounds ... sophomore swingman Trevis Simpson scored 20 points, the third time in the last five game he's scored at least 20 ... junior guard Kyle Randall enjoyed his second straight double-figure scoring effort with 10 points in 18 minutes off the bench ... UNCG's bench out-scored Rams reserves, 27-15.
Simpson Stepping Up
With the loss of leading scorer Brandon Evans to graduation, sophomore swingman Trevis Simpson has assumed the role of top scorer for the Spartans in 2011-12. Currently fifth in the SoCon in scoring at 15.4 points per game, Simpson has scored at least 10 points in 11 of UNCG's 13 games this season, while scoring 20 or more three times in the last five games.
Simpson scored a team-high 20 points in last Thursday's loss to VCU. He is averaging 17.5 points over his last eight games, and has 17 rebounds in his last three outings. He scored a season-high 27 points four games ago against Elon.
Brackett Breaks Out
Since being inserted into the starting line-up six games ago at Appalachian State, senior forward Aaron Brackett has played like one of the top front court players in the SoCon. Over the last seven games, Bracket is averaging 10.0 points and 7.9 rebounds while shooting 46 percent from the field and 67 percent from the line.
In his season's first start at Appalachian State, Brackett didn't disappoint. He scored a team-high 17 points and just missed a double-double by grabbing nine rebounds. He remained in the starting line-up two nights later at Western Carolina and responded with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Bracket chipped in with 10 points and four rebounds in last Thursday's loss to VCU.
Parker Packing a Long-Range Punch
Sophomore guard Drew Parker isn't exactly the first name that comes to mind when pondering UNCG's top three-point shooters. After all, he shot just 30 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman. But as he enters Friday's game against Richmond, Parker finds himself atop the SoCon leader board in three-point percentage at .581 (19-33).
A recent hot streak has lifted Parker to such lofty heights. Over his last eight games he has made 16-of-27 from 3-point range, including a 1-of-2 effort last Thursday against VCU.
Henegar Leaves Team
Sophomore forward Cody Henegar has left the team and will transfer at the conclusion of the fall semester. The 6-foot-8 Henegar appeared in seven games and averaged 0.7 points and 0.3 rebounds. He informed the coaching staff prior to UNCG's game at Florida State.
Spartans Picked Fourth in SoCon North
UNCG men's basketball team has been picked to finish fourth in the Southern Conference North Division in 2011-12 according to a vote by league head coaches, the conference office announced in October.
Chattanooga and Davidson are the favorites to capture the Southern Conference's divisional men's basketball titles in 2011-12. Appalachian State senior guard Omar Carter was also named the SoCon Preseason Player of the Year as part of the preseason all-conference team. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team or student-athletes as part of the balloting.
Dement begins the seventh season of his second tenure at UNCG and his 12th season overall with the Spartans looking to build upon last season's strong finish. After opening the year with a 0-15 mark, a team consisting of 11 first-and-second year players closed by winning seven of their final 16 games. The Spartans also won their opening game at the Southern Conference tournament before falling in the quarterfinals.
Another Tough Schedule
An appearance in the Maui Invitational, home games with East Carolina and 2011 Final Four participant VCU, and road games at Duke, Florida State and Miami (Fla.) highlight UNCG's 2011-12 men's basketball schedule, announced today by head coach Mike Dement.
In all, the Spartans are slated to play 30 regular season contests including 12 home games, all at Greensboro Coliseum. In addition to a full schedule of Southern Conference games, UNCG will square off against cross-town rival North Carolina A&T in late November at the Coliseum.
Spartans on TV
UNCG men's basketball will make seven appearances on national and regional television outlets during the 2011-12 season.
The Spartans will appear four times on Fox Sports South, beginning with the season opener at Tennessee on Nov. 11. Other FSN South appearances include games at Florida State (Dec. 11), at Duke (Dec. 19) and at Miami, Fla. (Jan. 2).
UNCG's game at Georgetown on Nov. 14 will appear on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), which serves seven states from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. MASN is available locally in the Piedmont Triad on DirecTV Ch. 640.
The Spartans' home game with 2011 Final Four participant VCU on Dec. 22 will be shown on ESPN3, while a Feb. 4 contest at Furman is part of the SoCon Sports Network's season-long television package. The SoCon Sports Network consists of CSS, UNC-TV and ESPN3.
More television game may be added during the season. Be sure to check with www.uncgspartans.com throughout the year.
Spartans on the Radio
UNCG men's basketball games will once again be broadcast on the Triad Sports Network for the 2011-12 season. Owned by Curtis Media Group, the Triad Sports Network is a trio of AM stations providing all sports programming with ESPN radio affiliation. UNCG will be utilizing 1320 WCOG-AM as its flagship station for the broadcasts. Additional coverage will be provided on a game-by-game availability through 1200 WSML-AM and 1230 WMFR-AM;
WSML-AM's signal is based out of Graham, N.C., while WMFR-AM is based out of High Point. WZTK-FM, Curtis' FM-talk station, has a 100,000-watt signal that broadcasts nearly statewide and into parts of Virginia and Tennessee.
Scott Pryzwansky will once again handle play-by-play duties.
About the Southern Conference
The Southern Conference, which began its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.
The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women's championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.
The Southern Conference is the nation's fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.
Up Next
The Spartans ring in the New Year when they visit Miami (Fla.), 9 p.m., Monday, Jan. 2 in Coral Gables, Fla. The game is being televised by FSN South.

I'll add some from my previous threads:
Tracking Initiative with Initiative Tents
This is a favorite of mine for speeding up play.
As described here
, take construction paper and cut into rectangles about 3" wide and 6" long. Fold in half and on one half write in large print a number. You want numbers 1-12 at a minimum, with 15 being a safe number of cards.
When initiative is rolled, ask for initiative in chunks. "Who is above 20?" "Above 15?" and so on. Each time, hand out the numbers in order, starting with 1. Include your monsters. The end result, shown below, is every PC and monster has a tent showing when they will go. This speeds up play, helps players know that their turn is coming up, and helps everyone have equal tactical footing.
Maps and Tiles
The supplied maps work really well. The only down-side is really the presence of fold marks, which you can alleviate if the store can keep them unfolded (or rolled in a tube) between sessions.
In addition, you could recreate them with Dungeon Tiles if you have them. I don't recommend using alternate tiles without your serious consideration, as authors often really look at room size and layout to match the monsters.
It can be really cool to represent elevations and features. For elevations, craft stores usually have cheap
1" wooden square blocks
you can use to represent high areas. If you have dungeon tiles, you can place the tile over them, to keep the same look. You can do the same thing with some features, such as putting blocks under a tile for a dresser or pillar. Pillars can also be found in wood from craft stores. An example is show here:
It can be fun as a DM to add some three-dimensional terrain.
Naloomi's workshop
has really nice terrain (available painted or unpainted for reasonable prices). The first picture I posted for initiative tents uses ruins from Naloomi. You can also find sites that provide paper 3-D elements (though these are time and ink intensive), cast mold plaster terrain, and even plastic pieces. Used here and there they can really make for interesting combats and help set the scene. My suggestion is to use a few pieces at a time so you become comfortable with using them without blowing your budget or making the combats too complicated.
Feel free to post ideas on minis (with spoiler blocks).
There are many fine places to purchase miniatures. First, consider supporting your local gaming store - they are hosting D&D Encounters, they are local (support the local economy, be green), and they will only be around if they make a profit. For hard-to-find minis from older sets, there are various places to shop.
This site can be useful for comparing prices
. This
site is also useful
PC/Monster Table Tents
A table tent is a folded piece of paper (looking like an old fashioned triangular camping tent) upon which you write information describing your PC. They are used by many RPGA living campaign players. They provide a quick capture of what the PC is and often contain a picture.
You can read more about how I use them here.
An example Word PC tent can be
downloaded here
. You can find others online or use the ones that come with the kit (depending on the Encounters season).
One fun (though time-consuming) option is to create tents for NPCs and Monsters. Search the galleries on DDI, and any other digital material (including image searches) for each monster. Paste them in Word, and under them write the name of the monster (if desired). I use two-column format for the page, so that one image is on one column. Then I add spaces so that the images and name are in the bottom half of the page. When you print, cut the page in half vertically so you have each image/name at the bottom of a long strip. Fold in half, and this makes a nice tent. A pro-tip is to also write the name on the top half (in recent versions of Word it is easy to take this second name and flip it upside-down. This way, when you fold the tent the players will see the image and name and you will see the name as well. If you leave a bit of space at the bottoms you can fold the tent over, making it sturdier. This works even better on a heavier weight paper or card stock.
This works well with tracking initiative. You can make tiny tents and place numbers on them (12 is about all you will ever need, but 15 is the safest). During combat, you can put these tiny initiative tents on top of the monster and PC tents. The nice part about this is that everyone knows when each creature will go. "That undead is going to go next, kill it!" And, as a DM, you also know when PCs will act. This puts everyone on equal footing, speeds up play, and enhances tactical play.
If you really want to speed up play, consider placing monster defenses on the monster tents. This is not a practice for everyone, but it means players can easily tell you if they hit or not. This works best if you can trust your players.
Handouts for Use at the Table
This 4E
D&D Combat Cheat Sheet
is pretty good at providing useful information on just one page.
For altering encounters, it is really useful to know the expected values for monsters and the skill ranges for each level. It helps you adjust damage down or up on monster powers or add skill challenge steps. The
SlyFlourish cheat sheet
is great at capturing these standard values.
For new players I really like the
Think Outside the Box power card
. It really encourages them to try out different things and not just use powers.
On Scaling Down Encounters and Ensuring Fun
The threads for previous Encounters seasons underscore that there are a lot of DMs out there that feel they must run what is in the adventure very literally. There are also more than a few DMs that want to run the combats as harder than they actually are written.
This is an introductory program. The authors and WotC have made it clear on the forums that the point is to be fun and to attract and retain players. DMs should make sure that they are making this fun and that any increase in challenge is actually desired by the players.
Here is an
article that was sent by WotC to all stores running the second season of encounters. It specifically states that DMs are empowered to make changes in the name of fun
There are a number of ways DMs can scale encounters, even on the fly. If during prep a DM sees that the encounter seems rough, or if the DM knows the table is low on resources, then one of these methods can be used to lower the difficulty. The exact method that works best will depend on personal style. Most DMs employ various methods depending on the situation.
Methods for adjusting the challenge level:
Before starting, think through what will play best. Will the party appreciate another hard fight? Will they enjoy a medium fight? Will they enjoy an easy fight? Depending on that answer, employ one or more of the following.
Treat the party as a "weak" party as listed in the adventure, removing a foe of the level of the fight. You can do this twice if the party is already a weak party (table of 4, for example) and also low on resources. Alternately, apply the scaling rules from the DMG to lower all the monsters by one level. This is done by applying a -1 to attacks and defenses to all monsters and removing 8 HPs from each monster. (Technically, the HP value is based on role, but 8 is a good average).
Another way to reduce difficulty is to look at monster powers that might be overly strong. These tend to be powers that do multiple dice of damage or have strong effects (daze, stun). If the power recharges, increase the rate of recharge (make a tough power that recharges on 4-6 only recharge on 5-6). If the power is at-will but very strong, consider giving it a 3-6 or 4-6 recharge.
An alternate way to deal with strong monster powers that deal damage is to reduce the damage by one die. If a creature normally does 2d10+4 and that seems too brutal, bring it down to 2d8+4. You can instead remove the static modifier (2d10+4 becomes 2d10). Each has slightly different mathematical outcomes, which you can get a feel for over time or do the math on average, minimum, and maximum damage if desired. (2d10+4 is 6-24dmg, average of 15. 2d8+4 is 6-20, avg of 13. 2d10 is 2-20, avg of 11.)
If your players lost all their dailies or surges, consider using some method to refresh them. The equivalent of the DMG2's Energy Node terrain power (p59) can be fun. A free action arcana check can identify that the square(s) will recharge an encounter power or 2 healing surges with a minor action - this can make a big difference. If your party is really hurt, it could even be used to recharge a daily... but make sure this is needed.
You can always be less efficient with monsters. Don't use the best power every time. Move to a dangerous position. Provoke OAs. Communicate what the monster will be doing next round via a challenge. These minor steps give the party the breathing room to get back into the fight.
Using Minions Effectively
This blog by Chris Sims is a very good read on how to use minions well in your encounters
. Because DDE DMs can alter encounters with minions, this guidance can be useful in determining how best to shape a session with minion so it will be fun for your players. It also provides guidance on the common feeling a DM can have that minions die too easily vs. how players often feel empowered by minions dying.
Understanding Disease as a Mechanic
A review of how disease work:
Certain monsters have diseases. As part of a power, they inflict disease. In a single combat you could easily have more than one disease and players could be infected by several diseases. Lycanthrope encounters are a great example.
A disease has no effect when it first affects you in a combat
. This can be hard to understand from a reading of the DMG. Because of the way the rules work, the disease is only a factor for later combats and never for the combat where infection took place.
At the end of the combat where you were infected you make a saving throw
and apply the Initial effects of the disease if you fail. This then affects the next combats/encounters.
Once the party takes an extended rest, you check progression
. Everyone makes an Endurance check (a PC can also make a Heal check to help one PC throughout the extended rest). Any disease has two DCs. The lower one is the one you have to hit to stay at that level and not worsen. The second DC is to improve. (Several MM1 and DMG1 diseases have received DC Errata). It is very easy for diseases to see-saw back and forth over many extended rests. You might get worse on the first roll, then back to Initial, then back, etc. Eventually you either are cured or reach the Final State. Once you reach the Final State, there is generally no cure outside of a Cure Disease ritual.
Specifically to DDE, the encounter may have rules that override these general rules. Check the text of the encounter and use these rules if no exceptions are presented.
On the Nature of Posting on Forums and Helping DDE Develop:
It is really easy to post scathing reviews of things we don't like. The sad truth is that such posts tend to do the following:
The people you are trying to reach will be defensive, instead of receptive
You portray the program as negative, discouraging others that have yet to try it from being involved
You encourage others to be negative instead of positive
The bottom line is that negative posts often accomplish little. Also, keep in mind that the RPG industry is a fragile one. The history of RPG companies is one of them losing a lot of money and struggling to find ways to create profit. The following articles may help provide perspective.

Ok, I finally got
done. Because I interpret the module such that the jellies turn into medium creatures when they split, I've included four of those. If you want to do otherwise, you can print two sheets, cluster the four mediums together to make one creature, or grab some large monster tokens.
Once again, since the encounter is simplified to the point where it's pretty nonsensical to simpli/complexi-fy the fight as per the normal rules, I've opted to add/subtract about a fifth of their health since that's pretty simple and also translates well into something to put in the rest of the whitespace (whereas more creative ideas would require a whole new page or more, which you probably don't want if you're just like, "Hey! I want my standees! And I want my HP tracker! And I want them now!")
Also, because all the non-standee parts of the standee page are pretty much le horrible this week (and maybe also because you all are such cool kids), I've included a
special suprise
for everyone. You guys have been asking for it, so there you go. Pay no attention to the mossy yellow-green grass standing out against the bluish fields of Inverness (oh, and that whole fountain thing, too I guess. Yeah...) nor the lines and reflections you may see as a result of scanning textured tiles. All of this comes to you thanks to the wonderful
person over at
and its tileset creation feature, which unfortunately didn't want to play very nice until I managed to snatch his stuffed bunny rabbit and hold it hostage over a barrel fire.

YES! CARNIVINE (and Seviper) EXPLODED!
Lots of BGM I haven't heard in ages. The brothers' voices were relatively irritible, I thought. I probably would have enjoyed the feud a lot more if I actually understood Japanese, but the battle at the end was quite good.
The staff seems to think of it as "victory" or "comeback" music. Personally, I've always hated the song no matter how it is used.And once again the writers fail to realise that Pokemon Symphonic Melody is NOT battling music! And it never will be!
Thank you for all the fantastic times, Serebii Forums!
One episode, big deal. Hoenn had a jouto episode too for the record.
Yet Ash had to dex Quilava(>>), not to mention he didn't bring up his Cyndaquil or Totodile either, and as for the music we hear old peices all the time.First they had two Johto Pokemon (Quilava and Croconaw) and then they started to bring back all the old Johto music.
I'd lol if the Quilava and Croconaw are actually foreshadowing for later on. And I don't mean permanant, but something temporary.
Its like the Donphan episode from Hoenn where Ash remembered his Phanpy and then in the next saga he returns it to his team and it evolves.
I'm doubtful of that happening.
The difference is this time Ash didn't even think about Cyndaquil or Totodile, and please don't start with that, it's bad enough people are wanting those two to return due to the lack of fire and water pokemon in sinnoh.Its like the Donphan episode from Hoenn where Ash remembered his Phanpy and then in the next saga he returns it to his team and it evolves.
Turtwig vs. Piplup at the start were pretty hilarious to see! Also Ash and Dawn getting angry at each other too...lol! Reminds me of The Bicker the Better with the whole Ash and Dawn arguing and the pokemon not being into sync, etc. Yay for Carnivine and Seviper exploding too!

The episode was really entertaining; Ash and Dawn's final battle was made of awesomeness, and plenty of funny moments were split through the whole episode.
Too bad it still looks like a rehash of "The Bicker, The Better", but... Why would I be to complain if both episodes are gorgeous?
Bring on Bagworm and Co. now! =D
- Nozomi.
they Just Perfect Although Why Don`t They Make Dawn And Brock Instead Of Ash And Dawn
Too Bad They Didnt Put Brock
is it me is it that the new series of pokemon is very very lame conpared to other series...
This episode was really high quality in all areas.
I'm amazed at how many little details were stuffed in here.
- The newscrew was actually funny, especially when the guy kept dropping the "whatever its called" on the reporters head. LMAO.
- Jessie wearing the cowgirl outfit = yum. I especially liked how the newscrew tried to drag her away
- Dawn was hilarious with the way she had to make sure she looked good in front of the camera.
- Naetle actually had some personality! Shock! The whole fighting skirmish between Pochama/Naetle was amusing.
- All the battles rocked. Yes, all of them. The first battle with Ash/Dawn losing was nicely done and fun to watch, the battle against TR was VERY good, and I really enjoyed the final battle as well.
- Nice to see underused Pokemon like Quilava and Croconaw again. It really makes me wish Ash's Pokemon evolved.
The fighting and "make up" scenes between Ash and Dawn were done right too.
Its really refreshing to see a girl who likes battling as much as Ash does. We *never* got these kinds of scenes from Misty and only once in a blue moon from May. I like how each girl has battled more than the last in the anime, its refreshing.
I saw an image of Turtwig using Razor Leaf on Crocanaw's Water Gun. What happened afterwards?
"When I am dead and have passed onto the next world, I want you to lower me from these gallows and....KISS MY HAIRY BUTTOCKS!"- Chris Farley Almost Heroes
Yeah I don't find Jessie attractive at all, but even I think she was hot in that cowgirl outfit.

The Team Rocket Battle in this was amazingly fluid and awesome looking.
I was impressed....YOSHA!
And the Battle at the End was very strategic, YOSHA!
And the Boom Stick Fat Guy made me LOL, YOSHA!
So, a very entertaining episode.
What were the twins names?

.*» BJETHPAGE PUBLIC UELHAHI / <3slattd ©ma Pipage Serving Bethpage - Plainview - Island Trees - Plainedge - Seaford Vol. 3 No. 15 ; vww*^v*w*-+ From : The Publisher's Desk Thursday, February 6, 1969 LIA Growth Records Reveals 10< per copy RAILROADING Comments by Perry R. Duryea, Jr. The Long Island Rail Road is continually in the headlines and the headlines aren't good. Labor and management are at loggerheads, public officials are criticizing one or the other.. Commuters are complaining or planning boycotts. It there's any hope to be found in the situation, it's in a look at the railroad's history and Its potential. When the Long Island was privately operated, its rate structure was such that the railroad couldji't make money and was on the verge of collapse. After state takeover, the railroad, with state assistance, was able to purchase new cars which are starting to arrive. The existing equipment, some of it 60 years old, is often unrepairable, evenwhenparts are available. We are now discussing in Albany a plan to advance the railroad enough money to retire its debts and speed up delivery of new equipment. Another source of trouble has been "the station maintenance program, now the responsibility of Suffolk and Nassau Counties and New York City. Suffolk has paid its share while the city and Nassau have refused. Under consideration now is a state plan to withhold the payments which have not been made from aid due these localities and passing this badly-needed money on to the railroad. Should litigation show that such station maintenance requirements were illegal, the money would be r e turned to the localities. It's easy to complain about the railroad because it's such a tempting target. With the ancient e-quipment which the state inherited, with the rising demands of the labor force, anything that can go wrong does go wrong. But it's been estimated that, should the railroad be closed down, an additional 26 lanes of concrete would be needed to funnel traffic from Eastern Suffolk to the city. It's more difficult to be tolerant than to complain. But, if labor and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's management could get together, if some of the Long Island's more militant critics could hold their fire for awhile, we might just find ourselves with a new and different railroad, one that's a source for pride rather than gripes. * * * Senator Edward J. Speno has introduced legislation in Albany to reduce the voting age from 21 years to 18 years. He has also recommended reducing the age of responsibility to age 18 if the amendment is passed, The present law requires passage must be at two successive sessions of the legislature and a public referendum. Public hearings no doubt will be held and you can expect a good deal of flak on this one. . . .The voting age change may appeal to some, but the responsibility may cause others to Ireconsider. Stvt Collecting Yon Series On Thomas Nast's and Day's Gone By Compiled and collected by Larry O'Sullivan, and appearing In the Bethpage Tribune. • LI. Economy JERICHO, L.I. — Industrial growth continued strong in Nassau-Suffolk during 1968 although slightly below 1967 levels, and 1969 should be characterized by continued expansion. LIA growth records show that 164 new industrial plants and major warehousing operations moved to Long Island during 1968 and 159 existing Long Island firms found it necessary and desirable to undertake major expansions. In jobs, this meant an increase of 11,382 newemployees, of which 5,283 were added by new firms and 5,191 took jobs at firms which expanded, and 908 who took jobs at new warehouse and wholesale facilities. A total of 14,668 new jobs were created inNassau- Suffolk in 1967. New construction during 1968 totaled 5,436,748 sq. ttt, of which new plants accounted . for 2,291,120 sq. ft., and expansions,' 2,049,528 sq. ft. New warehouse and wholesale facilities accounted for another 1,096,100 sq. ft. The 1968 new construction footage total is below the- 1967 total of 7,394,390 sq. ft. Capital investmant during 1968 totaled $54,367,480, based on an average rate of $10 per square foot. This compares to a total capital investment of $62,852,315 in 1967. The 1968 capital , investment total is equal to a per . worker investment of $4,776, not considering money spent on equipment. The number of new plants and expansions is also slightly below 1967 totals when new plants numbered 176 and expansions, 185. About 55% of the new (1968) plants located in Nassau, the remainder in Suffolk. Despite the decline, growth and expansion on Long Island during the second half was about equal to the first half. And although there was a slight decline during the summer, the drop was not as significant as some forecasters were betting. The same was true of the. fourth quarter when the reduction was again smaller than many anticipated. There has been speculation that the 1968 decline, generally nationwide in scope, can be attributed to the national elec- (Continued on Page 6) Lois O'Donnell Appointed Trustee - Lois O'Donnell was the choice of the Island Trees Board of Education to fill the post vacated by Anthony Sarno last November. The newly appointed Trustee is a housewife and has children attending the Island Trees schools. She has been very active in the P-TA and is an officer of the Island Trees Taxpayers Association. Besides, Mrs. O'Donnell, six other people were interviewed last Saturday for the Board seat. T0B Happy As Court Bars Bridge Oyster Bay Town officials were jubilant today upon learning that State Supreme Court Justice Samuel Gold had agreed with the Town's contention that State plans for an Oyster Bay-Rye bridge were unconstitutional. "I'm overjoyed, we're all tremendously pleased," said Town Board Majority Leader Edmund A. Ocker when informed of the decision by JusticeGold's office. In a 10-page opinion, Justice Gold ruled that a 1967 State Law authorizing construction of the 6.1-mile bridge and causeway by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority was illegal because the MTA was not authorized to build bridges or highways under the 1965 law that created the agency. The Town, the City of Rye and 11 North Shore villages had questioned the constitutionality of the 1967 Mass Transportation Act, an omnibus bill that gave the MTA the right to build the bridge, among other powers. Deputy Town Attorney Charles Lynch also argued before Justice Gold that the State Legislature violated the Constitution's Home Rule provision in giving the MTA the power to lay out, build or extend access roads to the bridae. such as the Seaford- (Continued on {'age 2) All Eyes Are Focused On Grumman G r u m m a n A i r c r a ft Engineering Corp. of Bethpage is getting its share of headlines lately. All eyes are focused on the Bethpage plant which employs over 34,000 people in Bethpage and Calverton. Particularly since announcement of the new contracts awarded to Long Island's biggest and most important employer. The latest announcement from Washington yesterday was the Navy Award of a four-year contract totalling $388 million for production planning of the new F14. Grumman built test models of the F111B for the Navy previously. < Everything looks A-ok with Grummans and that is good news for Bethpage. New Jetport Study A push has been underway by the Long Island Association and businessmen to revive the plan for a 4th Jetport at Calverton, Long Island in Suffolk. It is argued that if Long Island is to continue to prosper and not remain "the end of the cow's tail" a new serious look must be taken now. Private talks have been going on for sometime between Grumman Aircraft who' leases the 7,500 acre property from the Navy. Grumman has maintained that the airfield is needed for growth and test flights. The long runways and open space is desirable for these purposes. The lease on the property becomes renewable on April 1. Grumman has threatened to move if the Jetport becomes a reality since it could not co-exist with a commercial jetport in its backyard. This could seriously hurt the L. I. economy. However, MTA Chairman William J. Ronan argues that a fourth jetport is necessary as well as general aviation, facilities if Long Island is to prosper and attract new business. So the old cliche - you are damn if you do - and damned if you don't - seems to size up the situation. A WORD ABOUT OUR NEW SERIES "BOSS TWEED vs. THOMAS HAST" AND ITS AUTHOR, Larry O'Sullivan With this edition the Bethpage Tribune begins a series of articles which we feel will be of immense cultural value to our community. Exclusively in your paper, this offering will be interesting, educational, amusing and extremely rewarding to its readers. Based on actual newspaper articles from the 1870-1890 era, we hope to.bring to life that period of bur country's growth just after the Civil War - when Boss Tweed and the cartoonist Thomas Nast clashed in New York; when Civil Rights for the Negro, extermination of the Indian, and importation of cheap Irish and Chinese labor were violently argued in Congress; when Prussia, France, Spain and Italy were swapping Kings; when Mark Twain was swapping yarns; and Teddy Roosevelt was swatting countries with his big stick as he whispered softly through clenched teeth! The author, Larry O'Sullivan, has compiled this data, after painstaking research, from his personal collection of antique newspapers, primarily Harpers {Continued on Page 2)

Pattern: Bodice from Colette Pattern's Macaron, altered to be strapless, self drafted half circle skirt
Fabric: Red and white cotton gingham, from stash, white poly-blend lining, from stash, white polyester boning
I don't think I'm the only one who finds the term 'gingham' synonymous with Dorothy and her adventures in the Land of Oz (for anyone deprived of a childhood I am referring to the Wizard of Oz). Personally I actually prefer the darker 'Return to Oz' with the crazy Wheelers, which gave me nightmares for years and caused an unfortunate aversion to rollerblades. Uh anyway, gingham fabric connotations aside, I made this dress several months ago, but due to living at the bottom of the world, summer has only just reached us.
I altered the bodice from the Colette Macaron pattern to be strapless, probably not my best move as, without the front and back yokes the dress was still a little low on the sides. I used boning for the first time, not nearly as scary as I had presumed plus I got bragging rights among my non-sewing friends who don't know how easy it actually is. I drafted a skirt similar to this one but made it longer and err actually my waist size rather than my imaginary size. The bodice is lined in white poly-blend fabric and trimmed with gingham ruffled elastic trim, which I enclosed some self-made bias-tape. I plaited some scrap fabric to make the straps. Which would look great is I wanted it to look super scrappy. I did not.
But look, loveheart shaped pockets with bows. Much nicer/ridiculously girly. And now I'm off to finish the rather ambitious list of Christmas presents I've decided that I *have* to make this year. Plus a dress for Christmas, cos clearly I don't have enough ; ).
Have a lovely day, happy sewing, Bry xo

Bagley Kill r' Crankbait - $8.99
Balsa wood baits have long been known for their lively, natural action in the water and their extreme buoyancy. Other woods and plastic materials have since come on the scene, but many pro's still turn to them and keep old proven ones around for year because of their innate fish catching ability. Bagley has been making some of the best balsa wood baits for over 50 years, and Bagley baits have probably more wins in big tournaments that almost any other crankbait made - including four Bassmaster Classics.
The Bagley Kill'r B Crankbaits feature a tapered body for a more rapid, vibrating action, and are available in both a square bill and diving model. The square bill model Kill'r B is perfect of fishing aggressively in shallow, heavy cover and timber, while the Diving Kill'r B features a rounded, weighted deep-diving bill that makes it perfect for targeting deeper water. Many top pro's still turn to balsa wood crankbaits because they produce a lively action that simply can't be duplicated with other woods or plastic materials, and the Bagley Kill'r B Crankbaits have all the attributes you need plus the versatility to target both shallow and deep water bass.
Bagley | Length | Weight | Depth | Class |
Kill'r B | 2-1/4" | 3/8oz | 0-5ft | Floating |
Diving Kill'r B | 2-1/4" | 7/16oz | 0-8ft | Floating |
Comments: as I said on the other review- these cranks have great actions- but the paint schemes suck. Big time. It's 2013- enough with the giant black shad spot & red gill painted on. Your tied to Rapala now- please use their patterns. Or just go with the Ike DT colors- their fantastic.

Given that we seem to see some questions pop up every so often, I've decided to finally put together a FAQ to provide some easy answers. Please feel free to suggest additions to this list; the more complete it is, the better. Without further ado, then...
The best currently available versions of Welles titles are:
Citizen Kane: The US R1 release is as of now the best available release, but is considered by some to be too digitally cleaned up.
The Magnificent Ambersons: The Criterion CAV LD is the best release of the film to date, but the French DVD is the best DVD version. No other DVD version is comparable yet. An R1 edition is forthcoming, though it will be 2004 at the earliest before we see it.
The Stranger: Roan R1 release is superior to the other releases, most of which are subpar pub domain junk. There is a Region 2 release from MGM that it said to better it, but I haven't yet had a look at it myself to confirm. See dvdbeaver.com's comparison's section for more details.
Macbeth: UK R2; no other DVD release yet.
The Lady From Shanghai: R1 is the best and only option; a port of this has been released in the UK..
Othello: The Criterion LD is the only unadulterated version of this in a quality format; the US R1 DVD presents the questionable restoration, as will the forthcoming R2 DVD in the UK.
Mr Arkadin: Plenty of pub domain releases of the non-Corinth cut of Arkadin; the UK R2 Confidential Report DVD release is the best in terms of picture quality.
Touch of Evil: The R1 DVD is tops in quality; you'll have to get an LD or VHS release for the preview cut or a full-frame version.
The Trial: The R1 Milestone DVD release is solid, but the French R2 is better all around. The French edition will be ported for a UK release in May 2004.
Chimes at Midnight: The Spanish R2 DVD is the only current option here.
The Immortal Story: The Italian DVD release is the best (and only) version on disc.
F for Fake: The Japanese R2 DVD is the best option on disc, though the Criterion LD has the trailer. The French edition is of similar quality to the Japanese edition, but will suffer from PAL speed-up for those sensitive to such matters.

Fountain of Youth bootlegs available

I made a new character and all the chests have been looted even though it's a totally new character Anybody else know about this or a fix?
Was this a new version of an existing character, or a totally new character? I've created a few characters now, and at least that first chest in the starting forest is always how it's supposed to be. SWC
Thanks for the response. I think it was a different character as it had a different name. But saying that I wonder if it was the 'same' character but I interjected to change the name but *not* the character. Anyhow after I updated with a patch it didn't happen again. I am having a good time on the game, though today is college football so only a little play.
This is happening again and I don't know why. I even made the character a different race and name and the chests are already looted. I'll check for a patch again.
I'm nor sure about administrator? Do I check that by rightclicking the shortcut? (I've figured out admin before I just forgot how to do it... Both times it happened I fixed it by installing patch. I don't know if they are sequential patches or just some oddity.
They've only released one patch, so that would be weird if installing it twice helped. To run the game as administrator, right-click on the shortcut, go to properties, then advanced, and then click on "run as administrator". I had to do that to prevent invalid slot errors. SWC
If you are loading a pre-used world (via multiplayer) with this new character, that would explain it. I used to do that on accident sometimes To circumvent this, I'd simply play one of my strong characters up til Fargrove and leave everything as it is, so any "new" character can load into that world as if the sewers were already done (but chests not looted yet). Otherwise, I've never encountered this problem.

Physical Signs of Alcohol Dependence
Topic Overview
The physical signs of alcohol dependence can be vague in the early stages of the disease. Some early symptoms include:
- Blackouts, which cause you to not remember what happened when you were drinking. Blackouts are not the same as passing out. Passing out occurs when you lose consciousness. You don't pass out when you have an alcohol blackout, but you lose your memories of the event.
- Accidents and illnesses you can't explain. You might develop new physical problems, such as stomach cramps, or another health problem may get worse.
As alcohol dependence gets worse, physical symptoms of long-term heavy drinking can develop. You may:
- Not feel hungry, not eat well, and lose weight.
- Notice tiny blood vessels on your skin that look like spider webs (spider angiomas).
- See swelling or redness of the palms of your hands.
- Have redness on your face, especially your nose and cheeks.
- Have repeated infections and skin sores (abscesses).
- Have less interest in sex. Men might also notice shrinkage of the testicles and impotence.
- Have sore or upset stomach (Reference gastritis Opens New Window).
- Feel numbness and tingling in your feet or hands.
- Be unsteady when on your feet.
- Have liver problems, such as Reference cirrhosis Opens New Window.

(carin wester dress, carven collar, hot topic necklace, miu miu shoes)
I've been revisiting some classic "goth" music lately. Albums like Disintegration by The Cure, Denali's self-titled debut record, and Mazzy Star's She Hangs Brightly. After being on a po-mo noise/avant-Gregorian chant revivalist bender (AKA, listening to a lot of No Not Fun releases...), the heartwarming songs that I credit as my introduction to music feel so appropriate right now. It also inspired this spooky throwback getup, to the quintessential days of "goth" as I imagine them to be. A giant pleated dress and giant pleated collar gives me a very homey/homely feeling that listening to The Cure also imbues within me.
But do not be fooled by the front of this asexual tent dress! It comes with a party in the back!

Happy Wednesday, gamers!
How about some beautiful in-game footage and screen shots of Assassin's Creed 3? Warning: Be prepared to drool!
Can't ever be without your trusty Tomahawk.
The land in Assassin's Creed 3 is vast and mysterious, so grab a canoe and explore!
Two collector's editions have already been announced, the Freedom Edition and the Do or Die Edition. The Freedom Edition will end up robbing your wallet, but it features an intricate Connor Figurine, George Washington Notebook, Map, and three in-game exclusives.
While the Do or Die Edition will give you Connor's Medallion, the same George Washington Notebook, and two in-game unlocks (sexy Connor figurine excluded).
No exact prices were given online yet for the Collector's Editions, but going off what I know working at a Gamestop for two years, I would say the Do or Die Edition will be around $80, and the Freedom Edition will be a guaranteed $100+
To come to a closure with this Assassin's Creed extravaganza, why not finish everything off with a teaser trailer? Pictures may equal a thousand words, but videos are just so much cooler! Here, have a look:
So instead of fixing up your Halloween costume on October 30, how about you run to the store and grab Assassin's Creed 3? It will save you the calories and cavities!
For more information on Assassin's Creed 3, go HERE!
Coming soon...
So..... Beautiful..... At first I was unsure about the revolutionary time period but it looks like I will be wrong!
I Just Caannn't Waaaaaaaaaaait ! o__________O
I'm a Big big big FAN of This Game it's One Of The best Games in The World ! i'm in LOVE with It and I Just Can't Wait to But The Special Edition and Play with it ! ! ! !<33333333333
This looks epic. I'm super curious about the story line in this one. I loved the other two but I'm completely unsure about this one.
Wow I can't wait! I'm afraid to say it but I didn't really get into the other Assassins Creed games, but this one I am sooo pre-ordering :)

Otello here is what you need to get a good start on this.
First know what a good stock shot is. A good stock shot is one that will help sell or promote a product, concept or idea. You have a concept with the hearts and blanket shot but most of the other shots are just pictures you took from things you have seen while walking around.
Next learn about lighting. Light is the most important thing when it comes to photography because without light there is no photography. You need to know how to use the light, know where the light needs to be when taking a shot as well as how intense or hard it is. If you do not understand light then what happens is that you will get over exposed or under exposed shots.
Learn composition. If you look at most of your shots you place the object of the shot (such as a bird) in the center of the frame. You also make the bird very small in the frame. Google Rule of Thirds and learn to fill more of the frame with the object of the shot.
Photography is much more than just taking pictures. In this case you are trying to create an image that someone will buy and to do that it must be done technically very well.
Keep reading the forums and you may also want to take a class on photography. There are many ways to learn about this and in the end they will help you out greatly.

Even may small pocket camera makes better photos. What camera do you use? It looks like they are made with a cell phone. Sorry. I don't want to be mean, but I myself that am not good at shooting yet, have never managed to make such photos, but only with cell phone camera.

Oh my God! Are you serious? This MUST be a wind up!
This must be one of the worst set of pictures I have seen posted - makes the duck thread images worthy of being best sellers!
I mean seriously, you ask people for comments and critique but don't listen to what is said. Read the comments and then look at the portfolio of the people giving you critique - these people are not amatuers, they are serious photographers and if not professional then very good photographers anyway (in the main) and earning some well earned income from stock.
They take this craft seriously and the comments offered are garnered from years of experience and knowledge. When people choose to ignore this advice and just continue posting the same poor standard of images then you start getting responses like this!!!
If you are serious then LISTEN !!! Learn from the comments and post images which show improvements and demonstrate that you are listening and that you have the dedication and desire to do this.

They were taken with a Nikon Coolpix L21. I took this one with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. You can take beautiful photos with a P&S camera.

Please remember people here can be harsh but they are trying to help. I think sometimes they intentionally push you with harsh comments just to see how you take them. Will this photographer try to improve or will he just give up like so many others do? If you have the stuff to make it this site you will take what they have to say, make improvements and post some new photos that at least look like you have tried to implement what they have told you.
The photos you have posted look like you just went outside and shot whatever was in front of your eyes and gave no thought to lighting and composition. There is only one in the whole bunch that looks like you gave more than a few seconds of thought too. Yesterday I set up and took 4 photos. I had been thinking of the idea for a couple weeks now, it took me about and hour to set up the shot and another hour to edit the photos. For just 4 photos!!! I know that seems like a waste of time to some people but I really want to have high quality photos in my portfolio.
Your next set of photos, even if you don't get the lighting and technical qualities down, should at least look like you gave some thought to subject and composition. It seems harsh so sorry but if you want to get anywhere we have to see that you are improving and taking at least part of our suggestions to heart.
So take some time think of a couple good ideas and do your very best to photograph those ideas to the best of your ability then come back and we can give you a real critique.

Your birds are too SMALL.
I have drawn on 3 bird shots to show how large the birds should be in the images, below. Get closer or use a telephoto lens
with tripod
But they still have other major problems--Read the comments by others before reshooting!

"the photo with the towels and the hearts is a good concept. Work on that one, perfect it. search for other photos like that and make yours as good or better. "
the towel and soap is a blurry mess with blown highlights and distracting background color. If you are serious about this do some work. Learn , (take classes and read),research ,set up and make a shot. These are snaps and no where near what they should be. They are at the point some of us thought it was a practical joke.??? Really read what has been said. Without doing that you are wasting your time. Go and shoot more but it might be good if you did that as part of photography classes. It will fast track your progress. These are critques, not classes.
