Close to homemade
I like the fact it has only 10% sugar, it's great for pancakes or spread on toast. Tastes a tiny bit sour but I prefer that to all other overly sweet jams.

tastes homemade
Absolutely delicious, with yoghurt, on toast, in scones...slightly less set than jam, this compote tastes intensely of fresh strawberries. We get through rather a lot.

love the apricot compote but this strawberry compote was not liked by anyone in the family...had to bin it sadly. Love their strawberry and raspberry jams.

Delicious and makes a perfect pie filling
Perfect for strawberry pie - I have been looking everywhere for strawberry pie filling to recreate my favourite childhood pie for my children but nowhere seems to do it anymore so I thought I'd give this a go and it's absolutely perfect. Pie tastes excellent either hot or cold with a good dollop of double cream. I use what's left on yoghurt for breakfast and after reading an earlier review will try it on croissants too!

So, here we are again. You guys are probably wondering what's going on with the GC women's basketball team and I'm inevitably being one of the worst bloggers of all time. Please forgive me. My schedule is only a little hectic. And when I say little, I mean like mad, crazy busy at all hours of the day. But anyways, with that being said here goes nothing...
Friday will mark my last official "first day" of practice in my last season of basketball ever. Scary huh? I'd like to think so. For the past 17 years of my life, each day has been filled with basketball to some capacity. So I guess this is what it comes down to; putting it all on the line one last time and dedicating myself to the first love of my life every single day until my last play. I gotta say it's really bittersweet. I mean, let's be real...I will definitely NOT miss two-a-days or 7am morning workouts. But even still I think I'd take more two-a-days and tons of sprints for a few more years to get a chance to go out three nights a week and feel the excitement that you feel when you're playing ball. I mean for some of you, you may have never felt what I'm talking about and some of you may have felt it in different ways. But it really is unlike anything you could imagine. I'm not sure I'll ever feel the way I feel when I play basketball again in my life -- or at least not so often. It's like this rush and excitement. It's like you walk on the court and you know it's where you belong. It's something that makes moms cry and dads proud, makes your siblings look up to you, something that makes your best friend drive three hours from Boone to cheer you on. It's a source of identity for some. An outlet for others. Those are the things that I'll miss about basketball. I wonder alot if I'll ever find something that I love like I love basketball. I mean what job can you really feel like you win at? No, but really. Who knows, maybe one day I'll feel differently...
But the one thing I'll really miss about basketball is being a part of a team. Our team this year is filled with alot of new faces and and some veterans. It took us along time to get the freshmen to talk, ane now we can't get them to shut up!! Ha, no but they are great girls. I couldn't imagine finishing up my career with a better group. It's those bonds that you make when you're a part of a team that you can't replace. There is just something about being on a team that is different than any other bond -- it's like you know that that specific group has your back no matter what. They're there to laugh with, cry with, vent to...you name it, they'll be there. You don't get those kinds of friends everyday. I remember when I finished my last game of high school I thought to myself, "Man, it can't get better than this." Well let me tell you, it doesn't even compare to what I have experienced here. I have loved every moment that I have put on a Guilford College jersey...good, bad or ugly. I don't regret it one bit. Years from now, I'll look back and reminisce about these days. I know one day I'll be on other "teams" but none will be like what I have with my basketball girls.
With all that said, we start practice Friday and we have our goals set for the season. I know that six months from now, my life will change drastically and I'll have to find "me" without basketball but until then I'm looking forward to the season that's in front of me and I'm not taking it for granted. When I look back on it and it's all over, I want to know that we gave it our best effort and got what we wanted out of it. We have something something special this season, something different. And I'm not just saying that because that's what you're supposed to say. I genuinely feel that we have something different this year. I'm excited to get started and see where the season takes us. I will be back soon to let you know how everything is playing out.
God Bless

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -- Marianne Williamson

Can you teach hounds how to duck hunt and pheasant hunt or is it to hard and if you can what would be the best one

Duck hunt- not really. You use retreivers- dogs that like to swim- they fetch the shot down ducks.
Pheasnt, quail, chukar- oh my yes- that is a bird dog. It takes patience- but that dog is usually a pointer- hounds are generally scent trackers and pursuit dogs- they give chase. Deer, racoons, etc.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
IIRC, there are three dog hunting behaviors: tracking, pointing, and retrieving. There are only two breeds that were really bred to try and do all three: Weimarainers and Vizlas. They won't track as well as a Blue Tick. They won't point as well as a German Shorthair. And they won't retrieve as well as a Lab. But they do all fairly well.
You can teach a dog to hunt any thing...............
When all else fails.
Not being snotty here just honest. If you need to ask this question you aren't capable of training a dog. A puppy from proven stock is going to cost over $250. $250 is a breeder likes you and plans to hunt over your dogs price.
I'll just leave this here.
For ever Vigilant..... One Shot One Kill.........
Your ability to train will depend on how well the dog can hunt. Training for some dogs must be kept up from year to year. A penned dog or tied dog will hunt better than one running loose, pending breed, and training of course. How often you hunt with the dog. My grandfather always had muts and they were always hunting something. I love to watch a good bird dog work and point over a covey of quail. I have been pheasant hunting in SD several times and the dog of choice is a lab.
Remember the battle of Athens, TN!

My opk this morning (digital instructions said fmu is fine)...
Dh and I bded on the 27th and I expect to o tomorrow. I've gotten pg in the past with 3rd day sperm. I knew I might be Oing early when we decided to bd but I expected my RE to say to keep doing what I've been doing (progesterone and aspirin)...really didn't think I'd be preventing this cycle. I really did not even think to prevent.
If it's meant to be it will be. I didn't get pg my last 2 cycles with a +opk (last month had a temp shift) and we were ttc so it's very possible it didn't happen this time either.
This is so odd...I have never oed early! I'm not sure whether to be excited or worried...I think I'm a little of both. Trying not to overthink it .
Funny thing is I would have kept testing with a wondfo opk like that...doesn't look quite + but it was close enough I decided to back it up with the digital. And for you ladies just starting to do opks...I had stark white to light lines 2 days ago...so it can get really dark really fast...don't worry if you're getting close to o and your lines are still light !
Going to call my re and see what I should do.

Meeting the Secoya
We were lucky to be able to meet with the Secoya community, a native people that have lived near Lago Agrio since long before the oil exploration began. They are open and accepting of foreigners, even though they were uncontacted only fifty years ago. We took a three hour bus ride to visit them, which included barely fitting our big bus on a tiny motorboat ferry to cross a river.
The Secoya have american students from Esperanza International staying with families and working with the community to preserve their culture and adjust to the changing environment around them.
Cultural center. Siekopai refers to the Secoya people in their native language (Secoya).
The discovery of oil brought in foreigners, industry, businesses, diseases, destruction of the forest, and pollution of the rivers. Because of frequent breaks and spills in the oil pipeline that runs along the river, the Secoya have long given up fishing in their once plentiful source. The fish they eat now are raised in small ponds in their village. Many of the Secoya still drink and bathe in the river because they have no choice.
The Aguarico River, now too polluted to fish in.
I spoke with a 51 year old woman in the tribe, Cecinda, to ask her about her experience with the entrance of oil companies and how her village has changed in her lifetime. Her father, uncle, cousin, and friend all have cancer. She told me that they didn't have these kinds of health problems before their rivers became polluted. I asked her what she thought about all of us Americans coming to the community, and she surprised me by saying that she absolutely loved us. She was very happy that we were visiting the community and hoped that more people would come to stay, not only once, but that we would keep coming back for our whole lives.
I really wasn't expecting that kind of a response, and it helped me to feel less out of place here - less like a foreigner looking in from behind a glass door. I recognize that I am here with no real knowledge of the hundreds of years of exploitation and colonialism that have rocked this country, largely because of foreigners - foreigners with my skin color. My ancestors have not been kind to this land and its people. But I have to think about the fact that I am here to learn, and that all learning starts from a point of ignorance.
We took a motorboat ride down the river Aguarico to the river Shushufindi and stopped at what we were told were 'botanical gardens,' cared for by a local named Alfredo. An American student staying in the village we visited had helped him to market his land to tourists and make it more accessible: they had recently installed a staircase leading up the steep riverbank to the entrance and built signs describing the area's history, plants, and wildlife.
The 'gardens' to my surprise, turned out to be a tract of jungle. It was the densest forest we had yet been through , the kind where the canopy is too dense for rays of light to shine through, vines hanging from the trees and huge mosquitoes flying around, and log bridges laid over streams. We saw trees hundreds of feet tall. Alfredo said a certain kind of tree - the ceibo - were the daytime homes of forest spirits, and when the spirits enter the trees at dawn and leave the trees at dusk, a great noise like a gunshot can be heard ringing through the forest. After seeing two tarantulas by the main house, we had a wonderful dinner of yucca, salad, and fish wrapped in banana leaves.
A few people in the group came up with an experimental design to set up before leaving Lago. Basically, it involved gathering old oil from a pit and mixing it in varying quantities with soil. Then we inoculated the mix with oyster mushroom mycelium to see which batch turns out the most mycelium and mushrooms. This kind of experiment will be able to tell us: how much oil is too much? How well does the mycelium degrade different amounts of oil? What concentration of pollution in the soil is ideal for the mushrooms to grow?
Preparing the experiment.
With simple experiments like these, we hope to get a better idea of how best to remediate polluted soil. We want to come up with a step by step protocol that anyone can follow: local people whose land is contaminated, bioremediation companies, oil companies, nonprofits. The reason why this hasn't been outlined yet is because not enough published research has been done to show what the right concentrations of soil and substrate and oil should be, and which species of fungi are most effective for remediation.
AMP has had problems with their experimental field installations being destroyed. One was dismantled by the military here and got bleached by the sun, and the other was taken apart by Petroecuador, who was ordered by the government to remediate the site of the spill. We were told that the company came in with high pressure water hoses and presumably salvaged some of the oil up from on top of the water to refine and sell. The rest of it we can still see in the area where the spill was - including on the banks of the nearby river, in which we later saw people swimming and washing their clothes.

Season at stake as Man United seek League Cup comeback
Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj (C) fights for the ball with Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson during their League Cup match in Sunderland on January 7, 2014 - by Ian Macnicol
Sunday's 3-1 loss at Chelsea left David Moyes's side 14 points off the pace in the league and having been knocked out of the FA Cup by Swansea City, United need success in the League Cup like never before.
It is a competition that United occasionally treated with disdain under Moyes's predecessor, Alex Ferguson, but the new manager knows that he cannot afford to pick and choose when the club's fans are in the doldrums.
"We will try and do everything we can to get through," Moyes told United's in-house television channel, MUTV.
"I want to give the supporters something to cheer about. There has not been an awful lot. I am fully aware of that."
However, in order to book a likely final date with Manchester City, who lead 6-0 at the halfway stage of their last-four tie against West Ham United, Moyes's men must overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
Including that result at the Stadium of Light on January 7, United have lost four of their five games to date in 2014, and midfielder Michael Carrick says that the players are desperate to get back to winning ways.
"We want to play again as quickly as possible," he said.
"Wednesday is another big game. It is a huge game for us. It is an opportunity to get to a final. You can't take that lightly.
"We will get over this (losing to Chelsea), dust ourselves down, and be ready again for Wednesday."
Urging the club's supporters not to desert the team, the England midfielder added: "The fans have been unbelievable, over the last month or so especially.
"Times have been difficult. Performances have not been that bad actually, but results have been pretty awful for us to take.
"We are giving everything at the minute. It is just not going our way. If we all stick together, I am sure it will turn soon."
Moyes will be obliged to make changes to his back four for the visit of Gus Poyet's side, with Nemanja Vidic suspended after being sent off at Chelsea and Patrice Evra a doubt after hobbling off early in the second half.
The game will also come too soon for strike pair Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, who were expected back in training this week after spells on the sidelines.
Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher is a doubt for the trip to Old Trafford as he nurses an Achilles injury.
The 26-year-old Scot played for 18 minutes in Sunderland's 2-2 draw at home to Southampton on Saturday, but Poyet is unwilling to take risks with last season's top scorer.
"Sometimes you have to think of the player, and I did not want to be responsible for him getting injured by starting him in the game," the Sunderland manager told local newspaper the Sunderland Echo.
"But he came through it OK, and we just have to assess how it will be in the next few days."
Although they remain in the Premier League relegation zone, Sunderland have markedly improved under Poyet's stewardship, losing only one of their last 10 games in all competitions.
"We are not afraid of anything," said goalkeeper Vito Mannone.
"It's a new game again, but the mentality is 0-0 and we need to go to Old Trafford and make it to Wembley.
"You don't need any pressure to go to Old Trafford. You just need to believe you can make it. Like that, we will perform even better."
A draw will be enough for Sunderland to qualify for a first major final since 1992, but they have avoided defeat only twice on their last 12 visits to Old Trafford.

This guy set out to blow through the expansion. I've been playing for 2 days and havent even made it halfway to 61.
Also, Vanguard and WoW are two different games. You're free to play whichever one suits your fancy, or both if you have a lot of free time. Enjoy Vanguard, and the rest of us will have our fun playing this "disappointing" expansion pack.

Two New Software Freedoms
I propose two new software freedoms:
-2: The Freedom to run any hardware, for any purpose
-1: The Freedom to run proprietary software, to run any hardware.
These are two unspoken assumptions that I've never heard expressed before.
I don't understand why people don't want others have the freedom to install proprietary software on Linux system. I use both Linux and Windows. I enjoy running the latest and greatest games with the fastest video and sound cards.
I love how NVIDIA robustly supports Unix platforms, unlike Creative, whose sound cards are crippled under Linux. I require that my computer works with the hardware I bought for it.
I'm sick and tired of misguided free software enthusiasts applying free software principals to hardware. Yes, I think that as an individual tinkerer I should have the freedom to study and hack hardware that he owns, but hardware is not software. Hardware is a tangible thing. The structure of our laws protect tangible things more fiercely than ephemeral things, like software and ideas.
One of the original purpose of Free Software was to liberate hardware from the limitations of its software by protecting the freedom of the user. However, Stallman's philosophy of "doing without [the hardware and] supporting a project to develop a free replacement" ignores the fact this limits the users freedom. It presupposes that the user can go without the hardware. It assumes that the user has the ability to support a free alternative with time, money or programing skills. And it assumes that that the user values liberated software more than using the hardware itself.
Hardware is worthless if it does not work. If I bought a watch that did not keep accurate time, I would return it. If I bought a video card that a vendor supports in Linux, I should be able to use that driver, and my distribution should help me obtain this proprietary driver without violating the GPL.
This is my computer, and it is my choice.

The Triumph of Self-Worth Over Net-Worth
Joshua Becker, Guest
Waking Times
"There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself." – Henry David Thoreau
Net-worth – your assets minus your debts.
Self-worth – the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect.
As humans, it is in our nature to compare ourselves to others. Unfortunately, because we can only compare the things that we can objectively measure, we live in a world that is great at measuring and comparing externals. Somewhere along the way, we decided that we could determine who is living a more valuable life by comparing their clothes, cars, homes, and paychecks.
Simply put, we tied self-worth to net-worth. As a painful result, we began to make judgements about our own life value by the possessions that we own. But, in reality, our life is far more valuable than the things that we own. The wages that we earn provide for our life, but they do not define our life.
Fortunately, when we change our thinking on this matter, we are freed to pursue a life worthy of esteem and respect that is not tied to our possessions. Consider these 8 steps to improve your self-worth regardless of your net-worth.
- Live a life of integrity and character. There is no greater feeling than laying your head on your pillow at night having no regrets in your dealings with others. Consider the immeasurable value that comes from looking back over your entire life and seeing the same thing.
- Cultivate worthy endeavors that are available in infinite supply. There is no limit to the amount of love you can show, the amount of hope you can spread, or the number of encouraging words you can speak. Cultivate these things in liberal supply. They will cost you nothing, but will begin to mean everything.
- Delight in your uniqueness. The fact that you are different from everybody else makes you valuable. Be comfortable with yourself and proud of yourself. Don't suppress it or hide it. Instead, do the opposite: Champion your uniqueness.
- Give away your most valuable resource. The most precious resource we own is our time. Therefore, the most precious thing that we can ever give to another person is our time. Make a habit of giving it away to others.
- Live courageously. Find the mental strength to accept new challenges without regards to the fear that may lie beneath. Live with great expectations about what your life can become and accomplish.
- Develop self-confidence. A confident person feels better about themselves, stands up taller, and smiles more. A confident person does not follow the crowd or try to become someone else. A confident person focuses on their achievements and anticipates their next opportunity in life with excitement.
- Embrace your weaknesses. There are no perfect people in this world. We all have struggles and weaknesses. I have found that one of the best ways to identify with others is in our weakness. When we admit that we need help, we are finally ready to interact with others on a truly valuable level.
- Make the most of every opportunity. Each new day brings with it new opportunities. Don't waste a single one. Do everything you do with quality and excellence.
Your true self-worth is up to you. Increase it. Don't allow your life's pursuit to be caught up in the acquisition of material things – that makes for a nice net-worth, but not necessarily a high self-worth. And self-worth trumps net-worth any day.

It would be nice if most women agreed. You have heard of the no-car-no-date syndrome, right?
That's because they just want us to give them lifts and buy them free drinks.
Mr. Becker, you really should learn basic English GRAMMAR! These two sentences of yours are illiterately written:
"A confident person feels better about themselves [HIMSELF], stands up taller, and smiles more. A confident person does not follow the crowd or try to become someone else. A confident person focuses on their [HIS] achievements and anticipates their [HIS] next opportunity in life with excitement."
Of course, you could correctly write "herself" instead of "himself" and "her" instead of "his" in the sentences above. Traditionally, however, using the male form of the pronoun is understood not to be taken literally to exclude the female form. In any event, because the subject of your first sentence ("person") is SINGULAR, a pronoun in the same sentence referring to the same subject CANNOT BE PLURAL. Accordingly, to say "a person," followed by "themselves" is clearly ungrammatical. Similarly, in your second quoted sentence above, you cannot refer to "a confident person" as "their!" DID YOU FAIL FIFTH GRADE ENGLISH?
He is letting gender neutrality (themselves, their) trump grammatical correctness, a common trend today. Too many people still do take the male pronoun to exclude the female, even if unconsciously.
Have you read this article? I am assuming the premise to the article just flew over your head. I am stupefied at the consensus on the internet of persons waiting to dismantle great ideas on the basis of
grammar? We are truly never going to make progress as a species if
one nitpicks trivial grammar cues.
That's right; it also amazes me how some people make a big deal over grammar while completely ignoring the topic being discussed. It's like they have nothing else to contribute except to criticise about trivialities, which is rather pitiful on their part.
More importantly, I 'get' what this article is saying, and the wisdom rings true or at least I want to believe it does. However, there are aspects which I find at odds with life's situations. For instance, the statement about 'everyday being new' -true for some; but many have to tolerate the same events day after day. It makes more sense to say everyday could potentially bring something new, -it's a chance- but no guarantees.
Also, the 'being proud of who you are' argument is one I see practiced by some individuals who, quite frankly, make one wonder exactly what it is they have to be proud about; I see it as being used as a free pass to be arrogant.

No Time For Losers: The Bottom 10 Hero System VillainsPosted by Krepta on September 23rd, 2008 filed in Comic Books, Reference
Since X-Men came out in 2000, there has been a new superhero movie every summer. Some would argue that this has brought greater awareness of the comic books they're based on. I would argue that it has instead brought greater awareness of the superhero tropes that everyone was already aware of anyway.
There is a certain kind of person who cannot see a forest for the trees with a given medium. If you mention a beautiful performance of Die Fledermaus you saw once, they assume you spent an evening watching morbidly obese lady Vikings shrieking in German. If you mention some powerful scene in a video game, like the death of Aerith or something similarly heartbreaking, their brain cuts straight to PAC-MAN FEVER!
These are the people who still associate superhero comics with POW! BAM! OOF!
Every year as you come out of that summer's superhero blockbuster, you will hear the same conversation: LOL SUPERHEROES. Dude, I'd be Beerman! No, I'd be, like, the Human Bong! Cherise and Melissa would totally be Jailbait and Cocktease, am I right? WHOOO!
With Champions, these people can make their stupid joke characters a reality. Here are ten examples.
#10. Power Crusher
"Your strength makes me stronger, fool!"
Power Crusher is a violent, not-too-bright bully who grew up to be a villain-for-hire for VIPER, Champions' answer to Cobra. This is what's known as 'second-party' villainy; it's like being a sidekick, except more expendable.
What are Power Crusher's abilities? He wears mechanical gauntlets that enable him to– I know what you're thinking, CRUSH stuff, right? No, they let him sap other people's energy! …So shouldn't he be Sapper or Siphon or Bleeder or something like that? You're not going to "crush" power by using it yourself, are you?
Not only is he a really boring character, and his name makes no sense, but he has probably the second dumbest-looking costume in the book. It looks bad enough rendered in black and white, with that sort of Masked Muscle / El Santo vibe that has never worked for wrestlers nor superfolk, but take special note of the coloration detail:
As Power Crusher, he wears a jet-black hood. His tunic is orange above, dark blue below with a purple stripe charged with a red gauntlet. His actual gauntlets are also red and crackle with yellow power. He wears brown trunks and boots, and light brown pants with white side stripes.
Count the colors in there; red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, light brown, dark brown, black, and white. Is BLINDING people also part of your superpower, Crusher? Why didn't you call yourself 'Roy G. Biv'? Or maybe 'Beating Rainbow'? Or 'Visible Fight Spectrum'!
#9: King Cobra
In the last one I mentioned VIPER, Champions' prefabricated terrorism group. They're led by the Supreme Serpent, have members with names like Copperhead and Asp… so they have a sort of snake theme going on. Then there's King Cobra, who is the leader… of a rival group known as The Coil. One group of snake flavored bad guys wasn't enough for Iron Crown Enterprises, I guess.
While we're on the subject, another quick digression about my brother's campaign: rather than use either of these properties in their game, the Vogue Vigilantes were instead faced with threats from 'Black Flag,' a shadowy terrorist organization who were so dangerous that they, and I quote, "made Cobra look like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon– and made VIPER look like something ripped off of some role-playing game."
King Cobra is an extremely dangerous villain. He seeks world domination, and the transformation of all of humanity into monsters like himself. He has no regard for human life and sees all the world as not a stage, but an experimental lab. He is an arrogant megalomaniac with delusions of godhood, but for all his arrogance, he is neither stupid, nor blindly overconfident. He is a brilliant madman; there is nothing funny about King Cobra, and those who make jokes about him are grossly underestimating him.
"Nothing funny about King Cobra"? I got one word for you, book: loincloth.
That has to be the most defensively toned passage from this whole book. King Cobra is serious, you guys! Deadly serious! Stop laughing! He gets really mean when you laugh! You are SO underestimating my character! All right, that's it, I'm giving him the power to tear up character sheets!
#8: Griffin
HAHAHAHA oh wait, wow, you were serious.
Griffin is yet another pimp serving out his time in prison who volunteered to be a lab rat in exchange for early parole. It's really hard out there for a pimp.
The experiment was led by a rather unstable scientist who had an overly affectionate view of the Paleozoic epoch. He wanted to investigate human evolution by stripping away layers of genetic development, using drugs, radiation patterns, and the embryos of a baby bald eagle, which have a strong genetic resemblance to dinosaurs.
A scientist who believed humans evolved from dinosaurs? Where did he get his evolutionary biology degree, Bob Jones University?
Carlos emerged from the experiment as a functional birdman, a fierce and violent killer.
This is one of those origins that hints that something even cooler could have happened. Sure, he's an eagleman and a raging killer, but he could have been a dinosaur man! Stupid scientist!
The Griffin is 6′ tall, 120 lbs (hollow boned) and has a twenty-five foot wingspan. He is covered in moderately short golden fur, his wings are a bright gold and his eyes are yellow.
Wait wait wait back up. FUR? You regress a man to an avian state and he gets covered in fur? And he grows a long lion's tail too? Your origin completely fails to account for your leonine characteristics, Carlos. And this is Champions, it's not like it would be hard. Just throw in something about using golden lion tamarin DNA as a stepping stone backward for human evolution or something– there, I did it for you.
#7: Gremlin
"What's the matter little man? Bad luck? Guess there must be a Gremlin around here."
For some reason, the female villains in Classic Enemies have a really dumb habit of dropping their own names in their quotes. There's another one in this book called Ladybug (who escaped the lame list because she's a Canadian supremacist, which is awesome), whose extremely forced-sounding quote is, "Don't you know it's bad luck to try to crush a Ladybug?" This doesn't work in real comic book situations. "Did someone just fart, or is there an Invisible Woman around here?"
Anyway. The bio doesn't really have a whole lot to say about Gremlin, instead going into detail about WITCH, the group she works for:
The WITCH organization is a loose alliance of a few radicals. They believe that it is morally just for violence to be used against the enemies of the women's movement, be it bombing video stores that stock pornography, terrorizing prominent politicians that are seen as anti-women's movement, etc. Legitimate women's groups unanimously condemn WITCH, but WITCH doesn't care. WITCH doesn't employ magic; the name represents what its members believe is the pinnacle of radical feminism; witches are persecuted (as they believe they are) and are powerful enough to need no one but themselves (WITCH condemns anyone who doesn't agree with everything they believe).
I was hesitant to quote that, because now I'm afraid I'll get trackbacks from political blogs. Seriously, it sounds like someone from Fox News posting about the Hillary Clinton movement back in April.
As for Gremlin herself, take a good look at the artwork. It's probably not immediately apparent to you, as it wasn't to me, that she's not wearing a costume; she's actually supposed to have reptilian skin and horns and things. Apparently she can change at will into a slightly larger lizardlike form. That's all well and good, but what power does it give her? Armor-piercing claws, extra endurance and damage resistance, stronger willpower(?) and flight. So… how does she use this in a campaign?
In combat, she likes to lure her opponent into an area laced with booby traps designed to impede as well as humiliate.
Wow, All that mutation and backstory and buildup, and it all leads up to "The Riddler, but a lady."
Also I just realized she probably got the name from the movie Gremlins. She should have been a space down the list.
#6: Thok
Quote: None. Thok's communication is a chitinous series of clicks. The Universal Translator talent might be used to understand him, but it would require telepathy to speak to him.
Thok here is an alien prince, of the "First Order of the Together," who escaped from NASA and is running around on Earth trying to steal parts to build a spacecraft to get himself home. Gremlin, Thok, are any of these villains not based on Spielberg movies? Is there going to be an aquatic supervillain called The Great White whose taunt is "You're going to need a bigger boat!"? A truck-themed guy named Duelist?
Thok's real problem is laid out in a quote from the Game Mastering Champions campaign book:
For example, it would be difficult to run a satisfying hostage scene with characters who were designed as Saturday morning cartoon characters.
See, Thok is a pretty good character– for a science fiction campaign. Why is he in a supervillains book, though? How does a stranded alien who happens to have claws count as a supervillain? Does simply not knowing your way around the world qualify you for supervillainy now? And he can't speak, so how do you start him monologuing about how he's finally going to get home and leave this accursed mudball behind once and for all?
My theory is that this character may have originally been in a Sci-Fi Adventures campaign book, but he somehow got lumped into this one as padding. If I'm right, that's pretty weak. If the Hero System is as malleable as you say and allows for this kind of character tradeoff, you should really give the players credit to come up with stranded alien stories on their own. Unless the Sci-Fi Hero campaign book had some sort of cultural exchange thing with a supervillain stranded in space and trying to get home… that'd actually be kind of cute.
#5: Mechassassin
Hey, looks like Hawkeye/Goliath decided to merge his two superhero identities, and also suck. This guy's assness can be summed up in two quotes from his bio.
"When you're the best, you can get away with murder."
He has absolute contempt for most superheroes and supervillains, viewing them as "weirdos who don't know how to put on their underwear."
Mechassassin combines two of my least favorite things: Rob Liefield style characters of the 90s, and Anonymous. Here is someone who goes out to commit crimes, wearing an outfit that covers him in padding, belts, pouches, holsters, shields, armor, goggles, and God knows what's underneath it all to keep him from chafing– and yet he mocks people who are wearing much more practical outfits, who frequently don't need said outfits at all to do amazing things. Unlike him.
Mechassassin is a furry who goes to Something Awful to laugh at furries. Yiff in hell, Mechassassin.
#4: Shamrock
Shamrock is a supervillain who supports the Irish Republican Army. He has the proverbial luck o' the Irish, and bare-knuckle boxing talents that can knock most common heroes cold. OK, we can build a character around that.
Now let's have him operating in the United States… as a thief…?
He will usually return to Ireland to visit his mother on her birthday, and will try to steal a large present for her before he goes back home.
Hey, moron, if you're trying to get support for the Cause, why don't you try being a super hero? How is beating people up and taking their stuff going to make anyone more sympathetic to your nation's problems? I never saw anyone get their purse snatched and say, "Oh, that poor minority, forced to steal to survive… I'm going to donate to his United College Fund."
Much like Thok, I suspect that Shamrock was actually a player character that got shoehorned into a villain role– no one who was truly evil would wear an outfit that stupid.
#3: The Whip
"Feel my lash, you fools!"
Oh my god. Where to start?
The Whip is a highly skilled Gypsy whippersnapper. He's actually a member of Eurostar, the same group Fiacho and Mentalla are in, but why they let him in is beyond me. Maybe they needed a buttmonkey.
Shamrock had a shamrock symbol on his chest. It looked dumb. The Whip… has a drawing of a whip on his costume that goes from his right hip to his chest. And it has a little cartoon whipcrack at the end. It looks like a happy snake wagging its tail. Plus there's those jagged boots and gloves that seem to suggest shark fins or something. And the two-toned mask. And that freaky off-center cummerbund. NONE of it goes together. The Whip would be the first person to benefit from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy: Superpowered Terrorist Edition.
The book does not actually say what color his costume is. I'm going to assume it's a day-glo pink and glossy navy blue, with a puke orange whip symbol.
To their credit, ICE recognized how dumb this character is, and in Champions 5th Edition he was completely overhauled, starting with his doofy name. Now he's called Scourge. Better, I guess! Maybe Shamrock will be lucky and start dressing like a normal person too. Maybe he could call himself Shillelagh?
#1 and #2: Panda and Raccoon
I'll bet you weren't ready to see that.
Panda and Raccoon are a husband and wife villain team who… uh… You know what, I think this warrants the full backstory from the book.
Background: Two people. Two totally different backrounds. Opposites do attract. Panda and Raccoon.
Ginger Hobart (nee Bosworth) was born to a poor British family. They rejected her because of her mutated appearance, and left her at an orphanage. At least she'd be happy here, they thought, but she wasn't. The other children taunted her endlessly because of her looks. As they got older, their attacks became more violent. One day she was physically beaten by a group of children, and her latent mental powers came to the surface. She lashed out and left her attackers motionless on the ground. Terrified by what she had done, Ginger fled.
She had good reason to flee. Her ununsual appearance had already brought her to the attention of PSI, the Parapsychological Studies Institute, an organization dedicated to gaining control of all of the world's mental mutants. Unfortunately, they caught up with her. They took her in and trained her mentally and physically. She became one of their most effective agents, and called herself Panda, and for the first time in her life, Ginger was happy. Even if she had lost her free will …
PSI assigned Panda to travel to America and eliminate the newly discovered mutant Raccoon, who was helping VIPER destroy PSI's Midwest operations. Panda tracked Raccoon down, but instead of killing him, she fell in love. Raccoon told her his life story while their romance blossomed.
Robin Hobart was born to a wealthy family. They gave their unusual son what love and attention they could, but they hid him from all contact with the outside world. Eventually, the prospect of lifelong confinement became too much for young Robin, and he ran away from home. VIPER found him and trained him to use the full capabilities of his mutant body, and he became one of their best operatives. Naturally, given his physical appearance, he called himself Raccoon.
Then VIPER found them together, and VIPER tried to eliminate Panda. Raccoon went berserk and slew many VIPER agents while Panda made her escape. Raccoon followed her, and they were married. The constant pursuit by VIPER and PSI has deepened their dependence on each other, and this dependence makes them a very effective team.
Ain't love grand?
All right, let's go down the list.
- Panda and Raccoon. Now there's two intimidating animals to build villains around. Maybe they'll have a baby and name it Tapir.
- "Opposites do attract." Opposites? They're both kemonomimi mutants, who else were they going to date? Is one a mannequin or something?
- "The other children teased her endlessly because of her looks." And yet she has a COM (comeliness) value of 20, equal to that of Mentalla, who was described as being exceedingly beautiful.
- "…her latent mental powers came to the surface." Because giant pandas are known for their skill at telekinesis.
- "Even if she had lost her free will…" OOH, good use of the dramatic ellipsis there!
- "They hid him from all contact with the outside world." He has a TAIL. Those can easily be excised at a young age and usually are!
- "Naturally, given his physical appearance, he called himself Raccoon." Also, his half of the story is almost completely implied rather than told. I think we know who the author was more concerned with out of these two.
- "Raccoon followed her, and they were married." Because obviously a legal ceremony is the first thing that two fugitive members of terrorist organizations would be concerned with. And she took his name!
- "This dependence makes them a very effective team." Or maybe it simply makes them CODEPENDENT.
- "Ain't love grand?" Duh.
So what we're left with is a pair of villains, who aren't really villains, just victims who don't play by the rules, and they successfully escaped, and… um… lived happily ever after.
On the Christmas morning that I received this book, I happened to open it to the Panda and Raccoon page, and my brother told me, "I swear to God I'll kill you if you use those characters in your campaign." A noble sentiment, to be sure, but how do you even work these characters into your campaign? Their story is all told! You can't even retell it in your own words because the actual stats include stuff about their marriage! Why was this even in the book to begin with?
Oh. Nepotism. But of course.
That's exactly what it felt like: either trying to get the wife in on the game, or her asking to be included because she feels left out when the boys have Champions night, but girls didn't read superhero comics when Stacy Thain was a kid. Now I feel bad; why should I expect her to have an intrinsic knowledge of the elements that make successful entries in the superhero genre? She did her best, bless her heart, she was just trying to help make a fun game for everyone! It's not her fault that the famous Glenn "Icestar" Thain is already so great at making up characters (like Shamrock) and she's on her first try!
We forgive you, Stacy. Just please, before you make another Classic Enemy, pick up an issue of Thunderbolts or something, Like the book said, it's hard to do a satisfying scene with characters designed for Saturday morning cartoons, and this duo looks like they popped right out of Inspector Gadget.

Look at the credits pages of those hero books, and you'll see me there. I was an Iron Crown employee, copy editor, and playtester of the Champions 4th Edition, and remain a good friend of the series editor (Rob Bell) to this day. I could answer a bunch of question if you wanted, about some (not all) of these villians' origins, but for now I'll suffice to say that the best thing about Shamrock was his 3d6 Luck, as in our campaign, when Shamrock was (after an epic battle) arrested and driven off (in unobtanium cuffs) in the police wagon, he rolled his 3d6 Luck and got all 3 to come up.
Shamrock (to truck driver and guard): 'And to think they'd do this to a true son o' Ireland and a friend o' th' Revolution!'
Police Guard: 'You're an IRA sympathizer?'
Shamrock: Sure as th' day 'tis long!!
Police Guard: 'Hey, so am I!'
Police Wagon Driver: 'Hey, me too!'
The three were last seen boarding a plane for Dublin together.
Our Hero Team Leader (on reading the next day's paper): 'That Lucky Bastard!'
Gotta love that Shamrock.

Joint Replacements in the VA Compared to Results in a Civilian Hospital
A large study of total knee and total hip replacements is reported by the Veteran's Administration (the VA). Studies like this have been done in the civilian world many times. This is the first VA study of its kind.
All the patients were veterans treated in VA hospitals. Both men and women were included. Almost 7,000 total hips and 12,000 total knees were followed for 30 days. Both minor and major problems were reported such as infections, blood clots, heart attacks, and death.
Differences between men and women were studied. It seems women were less likely to have a joint replacement done at a VA. When they did, they were more likely than men to have problems. Urinary tract infections and a blood clot to the lungs were more common complications in women.
Increasing age and the presence of other diseases were linked with serious complications during and after the operation. Patients with diabetes, lung disease, previous stroke, and wound infection before the joint replacement had longer hospital stays.
Blacks were more likely to have a longer hospital stay, too. They had more pain and more problems with healing than whites. Hispanics were more likely to have problems with wound healing.
The authors say that the findings in the VA group are similar to patients in civilian hospitals. In fact, complications and readmissions were less in the VA sample compared to private hospitals. They conclude that VA care is as good as the care given in non-VA settings.

WEST RICHLAND, Wash- Last month we reported the proposed rezoning of a lot on Austin Drive in West Richland from residential to commercial that had many locals angry.
Citizens protested and voiced their opinions about possibly turning the lot into a hardware store at the City Council meeting, but that didn't change the minds of the council who voted to rezone the lot unanimously. Now those West Richland residents have told us they've filed an appeal with the Benton County Superior Court.
"To come into a residential neighborhood without addressing Van Giesen and change a residential neighborhood to commercial is just creating a whole new problem," said Daniel Richey from Citizens For Smart Growth.
The residents also tell us they've served the city with a notice of appeal and will serve various other entities involved this weekend.

7th PlaceChris Clark (aka The Bollocks)Comic relief in the S4 fraternity comes from Chris Clark, a well-known member of the AudiWorld Web site. We featured Chris' S4 in the September 2003 issue, and in some ways, it was responsible for this little shindig. Although we sampled Clark's S4 on public roads, its performance reminded us just how far the envelope can be pushed.
This car suffered a broken CV shaft and DNF'd, but not before producing a whopping 403 hp and flying through the 1/4-mile in less than 13 sec. Clark's Audi also stopped extremely well, netting the best numbers from 80 mph-those Stoptech brakes really work.
Chris' car is largely the same as when featured, and it's a shame it broke before the road course. We're sure it would have placed well.

Grab hold of some old issues of iconic Seventeen Magazine and you'll find a treasure trove of many stars" early modelling years. Celebrity news couldn't keep from browsing through them and marveling…so this is what they used to look like…
Here's 17-year-old Cameron Diaz who got her start in teen modelling, and she describes her style in the July 1990 issue as:
"I'm definitely into black army boots, which aggravates my father … he'd rather I wear heels. (Of course, that's easy for him to say. He doesn't have to walk in them!)"
The younger Cam shared her future plans, as well:
"I'll probably model until I'm old and gray. Actually, my ultimate dream is to be a zoologist. Maybe go on safari in Africa and study lions."
Katie Holmes' face had less planes and angles at the height of her Dawson's Creek fame in 1999, but she looks the same as ever and admitted to being the ultimate girly-girly:
"I have about 20 dolls, the huge house, hot dog stand, game room, workout center, pool, Corvette, and water-slide park,"
Katie boasted in the mag's inside covers.
Here's Brooke Shields at age 13, already a veteran model (she started at age 11 months!) and actress (the controversial "My Pretty Baby"). Smoother face and the absence of crows feet, but otherwise as gorgeous as her older self 33 years into future.
Is it just us, or does a 19-year-old Reese Witherspoon look a lot taller and less jaw-y?
The younger Reese says she enjoys
"wearing colored plastic Slinkies as bracelets one color over the other for a cool rainbow effect" and using "metallic, multicolored pipe cleaners to dress [your] tresses."
In 1990, before her shoplifting conviction, at the height of her "Heathers" fame and engaged to Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder channeled a Willy Wonka vibe in this 1990 cover.
Here's the "it" girl of 1995, Alicia Silverstone, whose credits at that time included a role as a creepy teenaged killer in unrequited love with Carey Elwis in "The Crush", and as the "Aerosmith Girl" after she gained massive popularity with the MTV crowd starring in the band's music videos for "Cryin", "Amazing" and "Crazy".
Apart from the eyebrows, Jennifer Connelly looked way different in 1980. Note the baby fat and the protruding teeth, and (horrors!) the excessive bling. Who'd have thought she'd end up a strikingly beautiful actress who'd win an Oscar for "Beautiful Mind?"
And finally, child model Milla Jovovich appeared on the 1988 issue looking pretty much the same way she looks now: sultry and exotic. By this time in the past, she'd already been a three-year veteran model without a single inkling she'd be the iconic action star of the "Resident Evil" franchise.

The method for adding embroidery to clothes is centuries old, but the tools and techniques that once embellished apparel are a thing of the past.
Instead of needles and bobbins, ink and messy screens, the task of personalizing garments now includes computers in the formula.
Now, embroidery and digital printing combine with technology to yield a growing business.
For one Hickory entrepreneur, embroidery and digital printing plus technology equals a growing business for Addison Fox, 34, owner of Apparel Technology in downtown Hickory.
Since 2002, Newton has crafted and adopted three land development plans for various portions of the city, and a plan for the city's core area was introduced Tuesday.
Now, Newton planners are turning their attention to the Startown area, where a public drop-in workshop will kick-off efforts to create a plan that will shape development in that area during the next 10 to 15 years.
A drop-in workshop for the "Southwest Area Plan" will be Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Ganntt Community Room in the basement of Newton City Hall.
As Newton leaders plan for the future of the city's "core area," there is not a lot of open space that has not yet been developed.
That makes the task of crafting and implementing a land development area plan for the "heart" of Newton all the more challenging — and important.
"This area has been under development since 1850, so there is not a lot of pristine area left," Newton Robert Mullinax said quoting from Newton Planning Commission's Core Area Plan. "So our job is to improve upon what is already there and maintain it."
Ruby Sigmon Hedrick, 88, of Conover, died Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010, at Conover Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Conover.
Larry Danny Beal, 65, of Newton, passed away Monday, Nov. 15, 2010. Burke Mortuary in Maiden is serving the Beal family.
Leroy Eugene Blair, 75, of Lincolnton, passed away Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010, at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh.
Hickory soccer coach Brian Jillings had a message to his team Wednesday night before taking the field at home against Charlotte Catholic in the 3-A West region final. He wanted his team to make it memorable.
"Now we have to do it all over again," he said.
The Red Tornadoes scored two goals in the first half and hung on the rest of the match to defeat Charlotte Catholic 2-1. Hickory plays at 1 p.m. Saturday at N.C. State against the winner of the 3-A East final between Jacksonville and Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons.
No one has been charged in Zahra Baker's murder.
And because there are no murder charges, Zahra's caregivers shouldn't be appointed provisional counsel for a capital offense, according to the District Attorney's Office.
District Attorney Jay Gaither said the Capital Defender's Office filed a provisional counsel assignment Nov. 12 with the Catawba County Clerk of Court for representation of Elisa and Adam Baker, Zahra's stepmother and father. According to Gaither, this assignment incorrectly states that both Adam Baker and Elisa Baker are charged with murder.
Many Concordia Christian Day School students have been camping, but most of them never went camping in a tepee.
Charlotte Story, whose two children attend Concordia Christian school, brought her father's tepee Wednesday to share with students at the school in Conover.
"My dad has a special place in his heart for Native Americans, and he's always had a special place in his heart," Story said. "He wants to share everything he knows about them."
A woman is dead Wednesday after her car crashed into a guardrail on Interstate 40.
The woman was traveling eastbound at the 138 mile marker at 4:51 p.m. when she lost control of the vehicle, struck a guardrail and flipped, said Sgt. T.M. Daniel, with the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
The woman, whose name wasn't released at the scene, wasn't wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision. She was ejected from the Mitsubishi Montero Sport, which landed on the westbound side of I-40 several yards from where it struck the guardrail.
HICKORY (AP) — The father of a disabled girl who North Carolina police say was killed said he had nothing to do with her death and did not dismember the child.
"There's no way I would do that to my baby," Adam Baker told WBTV in a Tuesday interview. "There's no way in the world I would hurt my daughter."
Adam Baker said he avoided a public vigil Tuesday night on what would have been Zahra Baker's 11th birthday because he didn't want to take the focus off his child. He watched over the Internet along with his mother and lawyer.
The Fred T. Foard Tigers wrestling team made a quick turn around in the past three seasons. The Tigers went from a struggling team before coach Mike Carey got there in 2008 to sharing the 2009-10 Northwestern 3-A/4-A conference title with St. Stephens and Alexander Central in his second season as coach.
"I think we have a really good chance to be one of the state contenders," senior Caleb McRorie said. "We started from nothing, and now we are one of the top teams in the state. Hopefully, we can keep going up."

No Child Left Behind Act And Disabled Children
Locate a Local Government Lawyer
What Is the No Child Left Behind Act?
The No Child Left Behind Act is an act that puts emphasis on ensuring that "all children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education". The Act requires greater accountability on the part of teachers and schools to ensure that students are performing at the appropriate grade level. To determine this, states conduct yearly assessment tests.
How Does it Affect Children with Disabilities?
The No Child Left Behind Act, as well as the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), requires that all students participate in the state accountability and assessment tests. States are required to include the scores of children with disabilities when determining whether schools have met their Adequate Yearly Progress goals.
Can the Standardized Tests Be Modified for Students with Disabilities?
Many, if not most, of children with disabilities are able to function at grade level, but there are situations in which the No Child Left Behind Act allows for certain modifications. For example, some students may be able to take the test:
- With extra time
- With larger print
- In Braille
- With extra breaks
- With a teacher or aide reading the instructions aloud periodically and helping keep the student on task
What if Modifications Aren't Enough to Make the Tests Accurate for My Child?
If a disabled student is not capable of taking the standardized tests, even with modifications, he may be able to take an alternate assessment test if it meets with grade level standards.
Are Students with Disabilities Always Held to the Same Standards as Other Students?
The U.S. Department of Education passed a regulation that allows states to design alternative assessments for alternative standards for 1 percent of all students. This means that certain students may be held to specialized standards and be tested accordingly. A state may even be able to offer alternative testing and alternative standards for greater than 1 percent of students as long as they can show that children with disabilities are not being denied educational opportunities.
Should I Consult a Lawyer?
If you are concerned about the quality of your child's education, or if you believe that the school is abusing the No Child Left Behind Act to deny your child educational opportunities, you may want to contact a lawyer. A lawyer experienced in education and schools will be able to inform you of your and your child's rights under the No Child Left Behind Act, and ensure that your child's educational needs are met.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA wore a lavender ombre gown to the 2012 American Music Awards.
Hit or miss?
Christina first alerted the world to her surprising weight gain after she started wearing ridiculously tight bandage dresses everywhere she went. And for the longest time, despite all the bashing and criticism for her fuller figure, the pop superstar continued to dress in such a way that was unflattering for her new curves.
But at Sunday's AMAs, the "Your Body" singer did herself a favor by choosing a figure-flattering lavender ombre halter gown by Pamella Roland, which featured a pleated bodice and a modest slit.
Christina accessorized her look with silver Jimmy Choo peep-toe platforms, a sparkling purple clutch, and an assortment of diamond bangles.
A shiny blonde bob, purple eye makeup, and glossy nude lips completed the look.
If it weren't for the overdone orange tan, the fake-looking hair, and the drag queen makeup, we would totally give Christina a thumbs-up.
Do you agree?

is today!! Happy Food Day!! What is food day you might ask? It is a day where people get together and celebrate food and how it can help build healthy, sustainable communities. It is sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
*There are six goals Food Day aims to achieve:
1. Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods
2. Support sustainable farms and limit subsidies to big agribusiness
3. Expand access to food and alleviate hunger
4. Protect the environment and animals by reforming factory farms
5. Promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids
6. Support fair conditions for food and farm workers
To celebrate food day at the Mayor Menino, Boston's mayor talked about what Boston is doing with food to promote healthy living in the city.
He shared three main pillars to incorporate food for successful and healthy communities. Having access to reasonably priced foods, making them affordable to everyone()and building and utilizing a strong food economy are all keys to Boston's success.
One of the points the mayor made sure to hammer home was that Boston has so many great food resources: restaurants, food trucks, universities, hospitals, community gardens etc. and we need to make sure to all work together to achieve our goals.
Also of note, tomorrow kicks off , a city wide food drive celebrating its 25th anniversary. Donate cans or make financial contribution. You can find drop-off locations on the website, but it seems that most fire houses will be accepting cans. I
One thing was apparent from Mayor Menino's talk: he loves food and he loves his city. And if we all work together we can make the city a healthier place to be.
Happy food day!!! And stay tuned to read full coverage of the event in the November issue of the .
