"Everything is contingent, of course, on what you take yourself to be."
From "James Baldwin, The Art of Fiction No. 78" at The Paris Review:
INTERVIEWERYou read contemporary novels out of a sense of responsibility?BALDWINIn a way. At any rate, few novelists interest me—which has nothing to do with their values. I find most of them too remote for me. The world of John Updike, for instance, does not impinge on my world. On the other hand, the world of John Cheever did engage me. Obviously, I'm not making a very significant judgment about Updike. It's entirely subjective, what I'm saying. In the main, the concerns of most white Americans (to use that phrase) are boring, and terribly, terribly self-centered. In the worst sense. Everything is contingent, of course, on what you take yourself to be.INTERVIEWERAre you suggesting they are less concerned, somehow, with social injustice?BALDWINNo, no, you see, I don't want to make that kind of dichotomy. I'm not asking that anybody get on picket lines or take positions. That is entirely a private matter. What I'm saying has to do with the concept of the self, and the nature of self-indulgence which seems to me to be terribly strangling, and so limited it finally becomes sterile.INTERVIEWERAnd yet in your own writing you deal with personal experiences quite often.BALDWINYes, but—and here I'm in trouble with the language again—it depends upon how you conceive of yourself. It revolves, surely, around the multiplicity of your connections. Obviously you can only deal with your life and work from the vantage point of your self. There isn't any other vantage point, there is no other point of view. I can't say about any of my characters that they are utter fictions. I do have a sense of what nagged my attention where and when; even in the dimmest sense I know how a character impinged on me in reality, in what we call reality, the daily world. And then, of course, imagination has something to do with it. But it has got to be triggered by something, it cannot be triggered by itself.INTERVIEWERWhat is it about Emily Dickinson that moves you?BALDWINHer use of language, certainly. Her solitude, as well, and the style of that solitude. There is something very moving and in the best sense funny. She isn't solemn. If you really want to know something about solitude, become famous. That is the turn of the screw. That solitude is practically insurmountable.

Panned by reviewer, then told to go bankrupt
By Amol Rajan
A British composer was told to go bankrupt yesterday after he unsuccessfully tried to sue the London Evening Standard for libel. Keith Burstein ran up legal costs of £67,000 defending a test-case libel action against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Standard, over a critical review of one of his operas.
He told Chief Registrar Stephen Baister in the Royal Courts of Justice that he was taking the case to the European Court of Human Rights. The registrar said Mr Burstein was entitled to take the case in Europe but he was required to pay the legal costs already run up. This would entail complying with a court order against him by paying the £67,000.
When Mr Burstein told the registrar he could not pay, Mr Baister replied: "Then you go bankrupt." He added that, in balancing the rights of Associated Newspapers against the speculative nature of what Mr Burstein was hoping to do, it was proper to rule on the side of the newspaper group, which also publishes the Daily Mail, in forcing him to pay legal costs.
Mr Burstein, 51, confirmed that he would not be able to pay. He is working on a new symphony for the South Bank Symphonia and on an opera with Ben Okri, the Booker Prize winner. "I lead a rather simple life and don't have many material possessions," he said later.

The three of us, me and my fellow Princeterns, arrived in Professor Fleming's office at 9 am, and had a chance to hear the full account of how he came to be a Law Professor, from college to the present day. We shared our various academic interests with him, and Professor Fleming in turn set up a variety of appointments with other BU Law professors whose work overlapped with our interests. At 10 am, one of his students came in to talk about an upcoming paper on Constitutional theory, as well as to update Professor Fleming on the duties she had completed as his research assistant for his upcoming book. This meeting touched upon three of Professor Fleming's roles at BU Law – a professor of Constitutional Law (a first year class) and Constitutional Theory (an upper level seminar), an author of esteemed academic literature (his most recent book is about to go to press, and was co-authored by his wife Linda McClain, who is also a professor at BU), and the faculty advisor for the BU Law Review. After this meeting, we got the chance to meet two professors specializing in Health Law and International Law. Finally, at 2 pm we headed to Professor Fleming's two hour lecture on Constitutional Law.
Day Two:
We started the day with another meeting between Professor Fleming and oneof his students/research assistants. After this, we sat in on his meeting with the Dean of BU Law, getting the chance to see how a law school works from the administration side, such as conversations about how to give funding to professors for research, the topic for the next big colloquium Professor Fleming is organizing, maintaining a balance between a theoretical and a practical law education, and selecting new professors for tenure. We ate lunch at a faculty paper workshop where a visiting professor presented his paper on the applicability of foreign laws in the U.S., and afterwards took questions and feedback from his colleagues. We ended the day by sitting in on Professor Fleming's second class – his upper level Constitutional Theory seminar. Thank you Professor Fleming for being such a dedicated host and giving us a fascinating two day opportunity to glimpse the life of a law professor! I really was able to put myself in the shoes of a law student and get exposure to a variety of topics within the academic branch of law.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL (WFLX) - The TV was on in Becky Rister's living room Thursday night for only a few moments when some of her brother's handiwork popped on-screen. "That's it, that's it," Rister exclaimed. "I just tear up every time I see it."
As the first official White House cinematographer, Tom Atkins shot hundreds of hours of film for presidents Kennedy and Johnson.
On Nov. 22, he documented the president's last moments.
Fifty years later, they're crystal clear. "We want him to be remembered for what he did and for what he saved for the country," said Rister. "JFK's last smile."
Atkins died two years ago of a stroke.
But Rister recalls the feeling in November 1963, wondering whether her brother survived the attack.
"We heard it on the TV," said Rister. "We knew he was there. We knew he was close to the gunfire."
They had no way of knowing he wasn't hit, had leapt from his car, and was taking these now-iconic films.
"He ran to the grassy knoll to get pictures of the public and their reactions. That's the type of photographer he was," said Rister. "He wanted to show how America loved JFK."
Atkins would later record the flowers in Kennedy's empty, bloody seat.
"I wish he were here to see this anniversary."
The Naval officer made it to the White House, then to Dallas, and through five more years filming for President Lyndon Johnson.
His images have circled the globe, but remain close to his family's heart.
"He left a legacy through our family and through the Kennedys."
And through his steady hand, and watchful eye.

After taking something of a beating in the east Pacific Ocean over recent days, with stormy gusts to 45 knots and very big and confused seas and with the proliferation of ice, which has drifted north on to the race track, made this, his most stressful rounding yet.
"I think there has probably been ice before, but we just did not know about it and went around blissfully unaware in years gone by. But now with the ice-tracking technology available to the race, we are all the more aware and it is much more stressful," Golding explained.
Golding first rounded 20 years ago during the 1992-1993 British Steel Challenge. He rounded again when he set a new record in his solo east to west circumnavigation in 1993-1994 backed by Group 4. He returned again in 1996-1997 en route to winning the BT Global Challenge. Now with his third Vendée Globe rounding solo, he extends his existing record.
His focus will be on the Atlantic ahead and catching Jean Le Cam (SynerCiel) if he can. Last night, Le Cam was sailing slowly downwind and in very light conditions. Over the last 24 hours, the skipper of SynerCiel covered only 180 miles on the direct route, and since the last ranking, has a speed of 3.9 knots.
Le Cléac'h's tight grip
Further north, the two leaders are experiencing a consistent twenty knots of wind on the nose. They will need to be patient before they experience downwind conditions and comfort onboard. But as always as they sail past the beaches of Brazil the warmer temperatures of the air and water are a welcome relief for their bodies after the icy, cold of the deep south. Le Cléac'h may have relented some miles yesterday but he is determined those will be his last. His sights firmly set on his objective, "to finish the Vendée Globe better than second."
Jean-Pierre Dick (Virbac Paprec 3) must keep a close watch on Alex Thomson (Hugo Boss). Thomson is sailing a course between the land and Virbac Paprec 3. The weather for Thomson is not simple, but it looks like he will have a better wind angle for his Atlantic ascent. With 157 miles behind separating them, it is likely that the fight will be a tough one.
Horn ahoy!
After the Horn passage of Golding in the early hours of the morning, the 60th day of racing will be marked by the arrival of the Swiss, Dominique Wavre (Mirabaud) and Bernard Stamm (Cheminées Poujoulat). The Swiss will round the Horn within a few miles of each other. Dominique Wavre (Mirabaud), will have his sights set on his goal, Mike Golding (Gamesa) a 100 miles in front. In stark contrast to Bernard Stamm (Cheminées Poujoulat), whose plan is to find his friend Unai Bazurko to pick up some the fuel. Mirabaud is currently 90 miles away from the Horn this morning at 11:30 GMT. At 300 miles to the rock, Arnaud Bossières (Akena Verandas) and Javier Sanso (Acciona 100% EcoPowered) will be the next Cape Horners.
Further back, Bertrand De Broc (Votre Nom Autour du Monde avec EDM) and Tanguy de Lamotte (Initiatives Cœur) head for the last gate of Eastern Pacific. Last night, Tanguy de Lamotte (Initiatives Cœur) reported problems with his gennaker halyard and came above deck to discover his gennaker was in the ocean being dragged alongside his boat. In addition, he has damaged his mainsail and so is forced to sail under reef until he can fix it. "It took me two hours to bring it onboard and to put it in the sail locker. The sail is a little torn but will be reusable. It has not damaged the hydro-generator, which was in the water at this time. To facilitate the operation, I put the boat in front of the wind and the first reef bump broke because of the waves. Because of this, a tear appeared in the mainsail. This tear is repairable but it won't allow me to use the full mainsail until then. I knew something like that should happen to me in the Pacific because I had to have something to remember from this part of the world. Now I'm going to rest a little. Everything is under control," wrote de Lamotte, in an email to Race HQ.
In the final position and still under the influence of the northwest wind, Alessandro Di Benedetto (Team Plastique) has the record of the day with 381.1 miles in 24 hours. Team Plastique is rocketing along at 17 knots is about 140 miles from the west gate Pacific.

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 22: Dish, 1953 (P.75.55)
This modest dish is not instantly recognisable as the work of Bernard Leach. It comes from a short period after the Second World War when he was working at Dartington, hence the mark: 'D'. The dish is thrown in buff earthenware, then decorated by passing red slip through a stencil in a mesh-like pattern of triangles.

A cast of six singers with the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles shared stories of facing discrimination and finding hope with Glendale High students on Tuesday during a sneak peak of a new musical to debut Feb. 1.
The personal testimony and intimate performances brought huge applause from the hundreds of students who attended the event.
The chorus reached out to Glendale High to perform part of their new musical in conjunction with the It Gets Better Project, an organization that promotes positive messages for lesbian, gay and transgender youth.
The chorus has performed at Glendale High before, said Lee Stickler, who manages youth outreach for the chorus. But this time it coincided with the school district's Yellow Ribbon Week, marking school safety and nonviolence.
"It's kind of a no-brainer to come here," Stickler said, adding that Glendale was open to the sensitive subject matter of the musical. "We're talking about suicide. We're talking about coming out in high school.
"They're an extremely welcoming and life affirming school."
Glendale High also has a 25-member Gay-Straight Alliance club, led by teacher Christa Bretz.
On Tuesday, 600 students volunteered to attend the assembly, but Bretz said that ideally, "we would love to have it just be a mandatory assembly."
Singer Mario Mosley shared that when growing up as a gay young man, fellow students bullied him by throwing rocks at him. But his mother always told him, "Be who you are. Stand for what you believe in," and he repeated her advice to students at Glendale High Tuesday as they cheered in response.
Another singer, Tyler Houston, described how a family member announced Houston was gay when he was 13. By age 16, Houston was kicked out of his house for being gay.
"I felt like I had no options — no hope," he said.
When his mother realized how depressed he was, she sought a support system for Houston and found the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles online. She contacted the chorus and they sent Houston letters and care packages.
Now, he was a member of the choir.
During a question-and-answer session, chorus members wanted to learn about Glendale High's environment pertaining to gay students.
"They're really open here," a female student said. "With the team that I'm on, mostly everyone's gay and they accept that."

nice one
that was a pretty cool animation. the character was a little strange, but also quite cool as well. the graphics were quite nice, good voices and audio, a decent plot to it and it was quite funny as well.
Dude, I played this twice just because I love the guy when he kept saying 'sky-fire'- Sooo cute. Love it.
However, my guy here says that the information you supplied is flawed- He's a smart one, so I don't know. Um, specifically, Mars covering up the sun for eclipse? Gah, he says everything involving Mars is wrong.
So, yeah. I still loved the movie- And if you made if for a class, it would have to be pretty accurate, yes?
Your guy is smart, everything to do with Mars was utter BS: The dual suns, the martian tree, the eclipse, and the statement that you can never make a "double shadow" here on earth.
When I presented this to the class, I made it clear this piece took liberty with "facts." Part of the humor is that it's full of crap. And using a dog in place of the Earth was just putting it over the top to demonstrate that.
Thanks for the response and gladded you liked it!
Not bad.
my biggest complaint with your movie here was the lack of sync with the audio and facial expressions.
The lip syncing needs a bit of work. Also, some of the pauses in the dialog seem to last too long.
but other then that, it was quite funny.
Especially the repeated DO NOT STAR AT THE SUN!!!!!!! line.
I agree with you. Watching it from the source file, everything is synced up just fine and the pauses are non-existant. Any tips on how to make this work when uploading online, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for viewing!
Very very nice.
This was both informative and entertaining, good job! I just wish my school allowed for more stuff like this...

Burbank -- which has been entangled in a series of lawsuits over the years -- ranked No. 16 among 88 cities in Los Angeles County for the amount of money spent per capita on attorney fees.
The ranking was one of several findings included in a more than yearlong project by the Los Angeles Times investigating the impact of legal costs on city budgets.
Attorneys' fees consume less than 1% of the 2010 budgets in nearly half the county's cities, an average of about $25 per resident. But a handful of cities spend three to four times that much.
Burbank -- which lost a public records lawsuit filed by the Burbank Leader for salary and bonus pay, and which is slogging through a series of police officer discrimination lawsuits -- ranked in the top quarter in per capita spending at $39.
Pasadena and South Pasadena came in at No. 22 and 25, spending $29 and $26 per capita, respectively.
La Canada Flintidge was No. 30, spending $24 per capita. And Glendale ranked lowest in the tri-city region, spending $17 per capita, according to The Times database.
Here is the full list of 88 cities with their average legal expenses for the years 2005 through 2010, expressed as a percentage of the city's operating and redevelopment budgets and per capita.

The federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies have announced the availability of the 2007 list of distressed or underserved non-metropolitan middle-income geographies in which bank revitalization or stabilization activities will receive Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) consideration as "community development."
"Distressed non-metropolitan middle-income geographies" and "underserved non-metropolitan middle-income geographies" are designated by the agencies in accordance with their CRA regulations.
As in past releases, the 2007 list will incorporate a one-year lag period for geographies that were designated as distressed or underserved in 2006, but were not designated as such in the 2007 release.
See press release for full details.

General Information
In the development of this website, Division of Engineering Computing Services at MSU has worked towards adding a significant number of accessibility features to improve basic menu navigation and labeling in order to provide a simple and effortless navigation experience for all visitors regardless of the browser or adaptive equipment he or she is using.
Long-term, we will continue to research and implement solutions that bring the MSU Web top-level pages to the usual exemplary level in the areas of accessible and universal design.
For assistance with the content and function of this site, please use the 'Contact Information' link at the bottom of every page. Persons using assistive devices should contact the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities for assistive technology assistance.
Accessible Features in Drupal Content Management System (CMS)
If you rely on a screen reader or other assistive technology, you will be glad to know that we have built this site with Drupal, a content management system, to encourage and support the proper use of semantic markup. For example, you should be able to use headings reliably for page-level navigation.
The Drupal accessibility team has worked to identify accessibility barriers with Drupal and worked to resolve them. We've identified and resolved a number of issues in the core code of Drupal 7 and raised awareness within the community. We've added some additional support for Rich Internet Applications by adding some WAI-ARIA support. There have been many improvements to both the visitor and administrator sides of Drupal, especially:
- Search engine form and presentation
- Drag and Drop functionality
- Color contrast and intensity
- Adding skip navigation to core themes
- Image handling
- Form labeling
- Removing duplicate or null tags
- Pages contain 'skip to content' link
- In the development of this site, we followed the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
- For information about MSU's Web accessibility policy, best practices, and related guidelines and resources, please visit https://webaccess.msu.edu/.
Browser and Device Guides
This site CSS uses relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified 'text size' option in visual browsers. If you need to change the text size in your web browser, see the following browser support pages:
Links and Images
- Necessary links were assigned 'TITLE' attributes to describe the target in greater detail. Users of assistive technology may wish to set screen reader options to take full advantage of this feature.
- Images used in this site include a descriptive 'ALT' attribute. Those images which are purely decorative or used for layout include a null 'ALT' attribute.
- Screen reader table functions within screen readers may be used on this site. The tables are properly coded to take advantage of these functions. Example: Using JAWS in Internet Explorer, use Control - ALT - Right Arrow to properly read a table with table headers.

Google What You Can't Read
A pension application contained an actual copy of a baptismal certificate with a church name that was difficult to read. A Google search for the few words I could read and the name of the probable town located the likely church. The partially legible name of the pastor was discerned by looking at a list of former pastors the church had posted to their website.

This tip is useful, and many of us have been there. Is there any one who knows a way to track the records maintained by the traveling pastor,those serving the outlying areas?ReplyDelete
What information I have gathered stated these records belonged to the pastor and traveled with him.
Perhaps ,if a circuit is known the name of the pastor could be discovered.With this ammunition in hand, a possible death location could lead to the records covered with dust in an attic or library far away.
So do any of you know where a record of the circuit rider pastors might be.? Thanks ,

Talk about subtle. And not even a logo or tagline in sight!
For several years during the 1950s, the Young and Rubicam advertising agency ran ads like these, featuring cartoon art, in Fortune magazine and in the back of each year's New York Art Directors Annual.
Ever since I first saw them I've had been intrigued by Y&R's commitment to these unique cartoon ads -- curious about what had been their motivation in utilizing this distinctive approach. Recently, while corresponding with my friend Bill Peckmann, it all suddenly became perfectly clear.
In passing, Bill wrote, "While I'm thinkin' of it - it seems that some of the great cartoonists, Rowland B Wilson, Tom Yohe and Jack Sidebotham (Bert & Harry, the Piels Bros. Beer designer) were all art directors at the Y&R Advertising Agency in the '50's. (I know there are more names but they're not coming to me right now.)"
Bill continued, "There must have been something in the water there or the agency had a style at that time where they only hired art directors who could draw."
Imagine that: art directors who could draw... no wonder the folks at Y&R were so committed to running ads featuring great cartoon art. They could relate because they were cartoonists themselves. I wonder... are there still art directors who can draw? Or is that one more reason why illustration has all but disappeared from advertising.
Maybe today's art directors simply can't relate to the drawn image because they have no tangible connection to the act of drawing.

Our mission is to equip people to stand on the authority of the Word of God and to understand the Bible's answers to the problems that perplex individuals and plague our world.
Did Jesus first appear to the eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee or in Jerusalem behind closed doors?
What if we could design a material for roads that would only get small cracks that resealed with chemical bonds as good as new?
Dr. Tommy Mitchell, AiG–U.S., explains why in Genesis 19:13, two angels claim they would destroy Sodom, but verse 24 records that the Lord destroyed it.
If there were an all-knowing Creator, why would He design men with a structure for which they have no use? Dr. Tommy Mitchell, AiG-U.S., explains why males have nipples.
The defining issue of Christianity is the question, "Did Jesus Christ rise from the grave?" Dr. Tommy Mitchell examines the details concerning this crucial event.
After all, it is obvious that things would not "run down" in a perfect environment, right?
When dealing with issues about the age of the earth, many people defend the young-earth position by claiming the even though the world is young, God created it to "look old."
Many creationists today, sadly, demonstrate their lack of understanding of the evolutionists' position when they ask this question.
Many people have claimed that Darwin doubted his theory by claiming it was absurd to think the human eye could have evolved. Is this argument valid?
A cynical reader asks how it is possible for us to narrow down the amount of false arguments to refute. Dr. Tommy Mitchell addresses his comments.
Many believers have claimed that a Japanese fishing boat discovered a recently deceased plesiosaur. Is this accurate?
Many Christians mistakenly claim that NASA scientists have confirmed the Bible by finding Joshua's missing day.
Many well-meaning Christians maintain that Charles Darwin on his deathbed not only renounced evolution, but also accepted Jesus Christ as his savior.
Do women really have an extra rib?
Have skeletons of giants been discovered in the desert in Saudi Arabia? Haven't they found evidence of giants in Greece?
Why would we advise against using some arguments that appear to support creation?
Sometimes children think it is unfair that little children and even animals die.
After rejecting the true history of the world, Charles Darwin was never able to reconcile the existence of death, disease, and struggle with the character of a loving God.
A recent book claims that Darwin's hatred of slavery was foundational to his pursuit of his concepts of evolution. But what do Darwin's words actually show?
With federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, this ethical debate is set to escalate. But what important facts keep getting overlooked?
Many evolutionists have claimed that no one can deny evolution and be a good doctor. Tommy Mitchell, MD, wonders why a consistent evolutionist would even want to practice medicine.

A Fishwife's Tale
I ended up at a cute little seafood place called either "The Fishwife's Turtle Bay Taqueria," or "Fishwife Seafood Café," depending on which sign you believe.
I started with a cup of Ciopino, which is usually a stew, but this was in soup form. It was pleasant, and filled with bay shrimp, clams, halibut, and faux crab.
It was hard not to get the New England clam chowder, which looked great at the next table, but geography won the day.
My main course was a small, but very fresh and nicely cooked piece of wild Pacific salmon. It was topped with a zesty habanero pepper butter sauce. The rice and black beans are always welcomed on my plate, but it was the cold broccoli salad that was the side dish star.
The perfectly cooked broccoli florets, dressing with a simple vinaigrette, topped with diced tomato and onion, have me planning a video recipe attempt very soon.
It was a very nice meal, and extremely reasonable for the location. I'm headed to Spanish Bay in the morning, so stay tuned!

Hey Chef
Two questions:
1. Do you ever have trouble eating out? I mean when things don't come to your table as advertised, or when you know you could do a much better job.
2. Did you just change you banner on the site or do I need to go to bed?

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. It's your turn to identify the violation.
Hint: You're not on the list!
Find the Answer
Section 348.20(A) of the 2011 NEC tells us that flexible metal conduit (FMC) smaller than ½ in. is permitted only for the following five applications.
1) For enclosing motor leads.
2) Maximum of 6 ft lengths for wiring utilization equipment, listed assemblies or luminaire tap connections.
3) Manufactured wiring systems
(4) Hoistway wiring, and
5) Listed assemblies for connecting luminaire sections.
The 3/8 in. FMC in this photo is much longer than 6 ft. In fact, the FMC continues for approximately 20 ft in this installation. It was used to wire a photocell mounted on the outside corner of the building. If there is no equipment ground wire installed inside the FMC then it is also creates a violation of 250.118(5)(c), which places a 6 ft limit on using the FMC as an equipment grounding conductor.
Also, since the FMC is tie-wrapped to the electrical metallic tubing (EMT), there is yet another violation. Section 300.11(B) generally does not permit ½ in. EMT to be used as a support of other raceways.
Lastly, section 348.6 requires FMC to be listed. The FMC used for this installation is not listed.

Palladium Books® Weekly Update – July 14, 2011
By Kevin Siembieda
This Weekly Update starts out on a bit of a down note, but there are a lot of positives and exciting news, like the 2012 Palladium Open House, so please keep reading.
I guess that means I'll be starting this Weekly Update with a Behind the Scenes Report:
I can't lie to you, the last couple of months have been very difficult. Poor Alex is in rough shape. Rougher than I've let on in previous Updates. I didn't want to alarm people or embarrass Alex in any way. Without going into too much detail, Alex has been sleeping half the day and when he's awake his hands noticeably tremble, anxiety makes him a wreck and he looks . . . well, weak and ill. Some days are better than others.
Through all of this, do you know what has been Alex's big concern? That he's not pulling his weight at Palladium and letting you and me down. Can you believe that? That's the kind of guy Alex is. Even faced with his own serious issues he's worried about the company and the fans.
The various pressures of deadlines, Gen Con, Alex, new website, other new projects, and the day to day stuff has been taking its toll on all of us. I've been working long and hard hours, but my writing has been slow to moderate when I need fast and faster. At least the writing is as good as ever. Maybe even better. Matthew Clements is becoming a big part of Palladium Books. He is writing several new books and has helped on edit and reviewing the work of 4-5 freelancers. Recently I had him edited a hunk of Vampire Kingdoms. I was flattered by his comment about my work: "Kevin, I see what you mean now about what you want from us as writers. Your level of writing is night and day compared to the rest of us, including my own work. I learned a lot just editing it. I intend to incorporate what I've read into my own work. I can hardly wait to see the rest." I'm not tooting my own horn. I was relieved that my writing was still at the top of my game despite being under pressure and writing slow. I was also pleased he got something out of it on a creative level. Alex had told me the same thing, but it was good to have that confirmed by a third party. You are going to love Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms.
We're all doing our best under new, difficult circumstances, so please do not lose faith in us. Please don't be too frustrated or disillusioned by delays. Here's why.
EVERYTHING ELSE is sliding into place wonderfully.
Alex's house is finished. We're waiting for the inspection next week to get the Certificate of Occupancy.
Books may be late, but they are going to deliver big! Palladium's artists and writers have accepted the challenge at the Creators' Conference and are all working hard to take their work to the next level. Wait till you see the artistry of Chuck Walton, Nick Bradshaw, Mike Mumah, Kent Burles, Mike Leonard, Amy Ashbaugh and others. Wow.
Palladium's writers are also kicking it into high gear. I had hesitated to mention any of these projects because a few might get cancelled or not finished, or severely delayed. I hate to get people excited and disappoint them with delays or cancellations. HOWEVER, I feel it's time to share what is in the pipeline or in development. FYI: "In development" means in the process of being written. I've probably forgotten a few, so writers, if your book is not in the list it is an oversight, nothing more.
Each and every one of these books is currently in the process of being written. A few are already done and waiting for final review and rewrites. The first three were supposed to be a surprise for 2012.
New Books in Development
(listed in alphabetical order):
Beyond the Supernatural™: Arcanum
Beyond the Supernatural™: Tome Grotesque
Beyond the Supernatural™ Sourcebook
Chaos Earth™ First Responders
Chaos Earth™ – Zombie Apocalyse Rifts-style during the Great Cataclysm.
Heroes Unlimited™ – Had two people who were supposed to be working on a pair of books, but they disappeared on me, so we are looking for folks to write a couple HU2 sourcebooks.
Nightbane® – An as of yet untitled project, and looking for more.
Palladium Fantasy® – Mysteries of Magic 2 & 3
Palladium Fantasy® – Tombs of Gersidi expanded and new.
Plus I have a few ideas on this front myself to revitalize this line.
Phase World®: United Worlds of Warlock™
Phase World®: Pirates of the Three Galaxies™
Rifts® Antarctica
Rifts® Black Market
Rifts® China Three
Rifts® Deep South
Rifts® New Navy™
Rifts® Northern Gun™ – may be a series of books.
Rifts® Sovietski™
Rifts® Titan Industries™
Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook™
Robotech® Genesis Pits™ adventure sourcebook.
Robotech® UEEF Marines™
Splicers® Sourcebook One – concepts and art by Charles Walton.
Splicers® Sourcebook Two – concepts and art by Charles Walton.
All of the above are being written right now. A few are already finished. Most will be 2012 releases. And this does not include projects I would like to do for Palladium Fantasy®, Dead Reign™, Warpath™: Urban Jungle and new mediums.
On the creative side, everything seems to be falling into place. In addition to current Palladium creators taking their craft to the next level, a bunch of old and new Palladium artists and supporters have contacted me about doing work for Palladium Books. That includes RC Aradio, Mike Wilson, Chris Bourassa, Wayne Breaux Jr. (whose artwork is better than ever), Zachary Houghton, and others.
So don't lose faith when Palladium seems to be positioned to achieve new heights!
We need your help. We need you to continue to spread the word. Run games at conventions and local stores (see the Megaversal Ambassador program for tips on that on the Palladium website around the end of August) There is a new movement of game playing and promo for Palladium gaming events thanks to the efforts of Zachary Houghton, James Brown and Carl Gleba.
Hype up your favorite game company! (We hope that is Palladium.) Be part of a Palladium "grass roots" promotional campaign to bring in new gamers and bring back people who used to play. You do that by talking up the product and memories of past and current fun. Cash flow remains up and down. We need up and up. We need your continued support by purchasing new releases and back stock products. Just as important, you can support Palladium not just by picking up products yourself, but by talking up books you like online and posting links to them in your own posts and websites to the Palladium store. Don't stop there, talk about them and post links on the Palladium Facebook page, your own Facebook page, etc. Please do it. Let's go viral!
Let people know Palladium Books® will be at Gen Con Indy. Talk about how you wish you were going. Talk about how people should stop by our booth and check out our books (new and old) or play a demo, especially if they have never played our games, because they'll love them if they try them. Tell them to start with Dead Reign™, Heroes Unlimited™ or Robotech® if Rifts® or Palladium Fantasy RPG® look too intimidating. These are all great "starter" games and fun. Encourage people who are coming to bring books to be autographed, and chat with me and the creators.
Remind people that Palladium's games cover almost every genre. Tell 'em about Dead Reign™, Heroes Unlimited™, Nightbane®, BTS™, Rifts®, Robotech® and all the rest. These days a surprising number of people don't realize we make games for so many different settings or that there is only ONE game system. Learn one Palladium RPG and you can play them ALL. Let people know that. Let people know that Dead Reign™ is the best Zombie Apocalypse RPG on the market, and it's awesome. In fact, if you haven't tried it yourself, you are missing out. I can't believe how much fun it is to play the game and I co-wrote it! Do it. Please. Do it now. Keep doing it.
I want to keep Palladium Books an independent company to keep producing the types of games youlove. Over the last year I have turned down offers from people looking to either buy Palladium Books or to buy a piece of the company. So far, I've turned them down because they immediately want to change everything. To crank out second-rate product and produce books that you don't want or need. It is quickly apparent that they don't know the RPG market, don't care about the fans, and mainly want to exploit our I.P.s (intellectual properties) in other market areas. It's all about the big money for them. Gosh, the stories I could tell you. We have a big company eyeballing us right now. I suspect their offer will be very tempting. We'll probably talk sometime after Gen Con. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to big business or making money. I would love to license our I.P.s to any number of companies and expand into new markets like videogames, comic books, toys, and, well everything. Time will tell.
If we can get new product released on a monthly basis, keep sales strong and encourage new gamers to try Palladium RPGs, we'll be okay. (My experience has been 8 out of 10 who play any Palladium game are hooked.) I want us to build Palladium on what we have, not abandon it. I want to keep producing the great games you know and love. Especially now, when so much at the creative level seems to be falling into place beautifully. The only way we can do that is with YOUR support spreading the word and buying those darn products when they finally do come out.
So that's what's been transpiring the last six months. That's why books have been late, because we've been coordinating and dealing with so much. That's why I'm tuckered out and writing slow. I hope you found this update to be mostly positive and exciting. I hope you'll help us take the company to the next level without Palladium having to turn to a corporate giant. I hope we continue to produce the role-playing game products you want just the way you love them.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program . . .
Update: Online sales. The last week or two have been lousy. That's my fault because I have not been able to write, edit or juggle things any faster to get new books released. Those books will be great. You'll go crazy for them. And a whole lot more are being created even as you read this.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #55 at the printer, ships July 25. I approved the printer proof yesterday. It looks fabulous from cover to cover. Includes a sneak preview of Vampire Kingdoms™, New Revised Edition. It's another fun-tastic issue you will not want to miss. As always, we are looking for new contributors to future issues of The Rifter®. Next issue is the October "Horror Issue." Send in your submissions now and you could be in that issue. The Rifter® is designed to publish "fan" created source material, so what are you waiting for? Send us your 8-25 page articles.
Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™ New Revised Edition. Everyone who has seen any part of it has been blown away. Almost done. I have about 25% left to finish. Wayne hopes to start layout this weekend. We hope to send it to the printer next week sometime. Note: We WILL have copies at Gen Con, but it will not ship till after we get back, August 10.
UPDATE: Rifts® Lemuria. Final art has been coming in all week. Part of the book has been edited, it's going to look amazing and you will love the ideas, player characters, monsters, magic and psionics – many of which can be used on dry land as well as underwater. I dive into this book the second I'm done with Vampire Kingdoms. Rifts® Lemuria should go to the printer before Gen Con and is tentatively scheduled to ship August 22. We may have some photocopies or even Print on Demand copies at Gen Con.
UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook. In final production. Should ship September. Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook™ and Megaverse® in Flames follow it.
UPDATE: Back in Print: The plan is to bring several titles back into print, including Mutant Underground™ for Heroes Unlimited™, Xiticix Invasion™ for Rifts® and the out of print titles in the Coalition Wars® series over the next month or two. Maybe even in time for Gen Con.
The following titles are also recently back in print and ready to ship:
- Rifts® Free Quebec™
- Rifts® Book of Magic
- Rifts® World Book 8: Rifts® Japan™
- Rifts® World Book 13: Lone Star™

UPDATE: DriveThruRPG.com Christmas in July Sale is Coming: It's a couple weeks away, but I was afraid I would forget if I didn't mention it now. Palladium Books PDF titles and other publishers will be at a discount price from Monday July 25th to Monday, August 1st (ending 10am EST).
Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms Sneak Preview will be available as a FREE download next week sometime (maybe sooner). Don't forget, The Rifter® Number Zero and Hades Map Pack were recently made available on DriveThruRPG.com. DriveThruRPG offers more than 90 out of print titles (and a few that are not) as PDF downloads. It is a good resource for getting The Rifter® #1-48 and to fill in your RPG library with first edition copies of Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, and other game lines, as well as books such as Nightbane® Book Four: Shadows of Light™ and both versions of the The Mechanoids® RPG (1985) and The Collected Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy (1981-1983).

- Kevin Siembieda
- Wayne Smith

- Michael Mumah (artist)
- Brandon Aten (writer)

FYI: I don't think there are any "official" Palladium gaming events on the schedule but there are always a bunch of "unofficial" games.
Detroit Fanfare, September 24 & 25
Palladium will attend the Detroit Fanfare, September 24 & 25 at Cobo Hall, downtown Detroit. One of the guests is Kevin Eastman – co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®. So this fun comic book and media convention will be a great chance to get your Ninja Turtles® game books (and comics) signed by one of the creators. Other guests include fan boy favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, and dozens and dozens of comic book guests. Palladium fans may be interested to know Dave Dorman (Palladium cover artist), Tim Bradstreet, and pal, Defiler and Palladium contributor of old, William Messner Loebs will also be attending, among many other guests. I'll keep you posted as we firm up the details.

Palladium Open House – May 4-6, 2012
Due to popular demand, we will host a Palladium Open House in May next year.
I know, as recently as a week ago, I have been telling everyone we were not going to do an Open House in 2012. However we have gotten so many requests and appeals to hold one that I have given in to it. We're looking at May 4-6 (plus VIP Thursday, May 3). More exact details below and in the next Weekly Update. You can start ordering tickets next week. What do you think? Good idea?
QueenofGhouls.com – She's working away on more cool stuff. Check it out in her online store. Kathy continues to whip up new creations with more life size Halloween props going up this weekend. The Queen of Ghouls has plans for more zombies, skeleton pirates, wizards, werewolves and monsters in the weeks to come. Halloween is creeping up fast.
Keep those imaginations burning bright and start planning to be here for the 2012 Palladium Open House, May 4-6, 2012.
– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher
2012 Palladium Open House – May 4-6, 2012
YOU talked me into it. So many fans have been asking and pleading with me and Wayne to hold a Palladium Open House in 2012 that I have decided to do it. Actually, I talked to my crew first, to make sure they were on board. They said yes, so we are a go for POH 2012!
This may be our last Open House. Having sufficient parking is becoming a big issue. You may have to car pool from the hotel as it is. And the event is a ton of work that takes four weeks out of our production schedule. It is especially hard on Kathy Simmons, who coordinates most of it and does the catering (we'll try to help her more). So we may make this our big, final Open House blow out.
Based on the number of people who have been asking about the POH we're anticipating 300 gamers. I hope YOU are one of them.
– Kevin Siembieda
V.I.P. Thursday (May 3, 2012), $75. You get in an entire day early, you are the first to play in special events, participate in special panel talks, play in special game events, the first to purchase items, and enjoy a dinner catered by Kathy Simmons (and those who have been to past VIP nights know how awesome that is). Tickets will probably be available for purchase as soon as next week Thursday.
Individual day and weekend tickets (Friday-Sunday) should also be available for order by next week Thursday.
The same beautiful hotel is available with rooms at the same beautiful price as the 2009 POH – $69.00 for a room with two double beds or one king-size bed. They now serve a "hot" breakfast too. The manager was thrilled to hear Palladium fans are coming back next year. She insists the Palladium Open House brings in the nicest people of any event they host. You guys and gals are awesome.
We need G.M.s. This means we'll be looking for volunteer Game Masters (you get a T-shirt and a discount on books if you run three "official" games).
Plan to enter the Costume Contest. Winners get a nice plaque and real prizes. Rifts/sci-fi, fantasy, modern (includes horror) and best of show are the categories.
The whole idea behind the Palladium Open House is to revel in Palladium role-playing games and the RPG experience. Meet and game with players from around the world, try new ideas, and play favorite games. Let's make this one epic.

The Queen of Ghouls: Life-Sized Halloween Props
Check out the new creations by Palladium's very own Kathy Simmons. See her zombie doctor and other new zombies, Jack Skellington and Sally, and more. New creations are on the drawing board, and so is a new website. Each Halloween prop is truly life-sized (most are 6 feet or taller – Jack is almost 8 feet) and seems almost alive.
Each is an all-weather, life-sized Halloween prop that can handle rain and snow, and is a one-of-a-kind work of art (no two are exactly the same). Each looks frighteningly "real." All come apart and fold down to slightly larger than a king-size pillow for easy storage. Comes with easy instructions, a plastic storage bag, and the lawn stake to stand it up in your front yard. Indoor stand sold separately.
Types of "Ghouls" include: Zombies (all kinds!), killer clowns, wizards, witches, devils, grave ghouls, scarecrows, executioners, mad doctors, deadly nurses, vampires, werewolves, and more. Kathy's also now offering an array of hand-painted Halloween signs, signs with heads and bodies hanging from them, witch's brewing pots, Halloween centerpieces and more. Best of all, her high quality creations are much more affordable and imaginative than most competitors or mass produced items in a store, making them affordable Halloween fun.
If you think the photos online look good, you should see them in person. A typical "ghoul," as she calls her creations, costs $129-$259. You can see some of her work at her Queen of Ghouls™ Ebay store – queenofghouls.com.

Kenya Insight GuideUser Review - safarisue - Overstock.com
This is a very general overview of Kenya for the traveller. Some sections are very helpful reference sections in the back some are so brief as to be useless flora and fauna. It has gotten me more excited about a forthcoming safari to Kenya for birds and wildlife. Read full review

andrewinwood needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 390 designs submitted by 81 freelance designers.
None - the logo design needs to stand alone
There are three graphic logos required for three seperate motorbikes
I want you to think 1940's fighter nose cone art
Dont use the words the worlds fastest 650 in the logo
People who love things which are fast - deadly fast and slightly absurd - I want these logos to have the look of a tattoo or a 1940's style nose art.
The bikes are all done in highly polished aluminum to look like a fighter plane from the last days of WWII so I'm looking for a logo to compliment that -
I want you to play with three ideas
Idea one a Flaming skull - bright liquid flames coming from a cartoon (simple skull) which is looking straight at the viewer
A Heart done in the same way - simple cartoonstyle with flames
A dagger bisecting a narrow scroll featuring the words love on the left side and war on the rightside
There will be a few places these designs will go - in March next year we are taking the bikes to the desert to race in speed trials so they will need to go on the tanks of the bikes - also we will producing t-shirts for the crews racing the bikes - the t-shirts will all be black so they will need to look good on that.
The attached files are of the w650 - one for a poster a friends had done and one this week after I changed the airbox, filters and carbies (now 0 - 100k in 2.85 sec with my 113 kilos on the back of it) but the Vespa and the Ct 110 will follow a similar theme
Thats where the logos are appearing - dont use them in the logo don't thats what they will be on.
