Have you ever heard the term valentine? In fact, you may never celebrate. Every February 14, almost all men, especially those in pairs, celebrating Valentine's Day or Valentines Day. Brown and shades of pink paced celebration of today become the main icon of this affection. Everyone seemed to want to devote all his love for loved ones. A lot of people who are already infected by this valentine fever. Surely we know, a lot of events to welcome this February 14th. Starting from the show on television, the latest movies both foreign and domestic country to the atmosphere around us, for example in shops or malls and also hotels or anywhere else, all willing to welcome this February 14. It is certainly very strong reception seemed occurs in young people or teenagers, as if to make this moment as spillover sense of love and affection to their loved ones, even if the day of love is meant not only to your spouse or girlfriend as the elderly or friend still this moment is so close to the feeling of affection for girlfriend or spouse. However, there are still many people who do not really disturbed daily activities by engaging himself welcome and celebrate this day of love. Because they think it is not so important in their lives. Affection can diluapkan anytime not just wait for February 14.
Valentines Day is indeed synonymous with celebrations in order to share love with your partner. However, many women who chose singles on Valentine's Day with some reason. Some of the reasons women choose for themselves on the day of love it.
Effect of Single Ladies.Single Ladies is one of Beyonce's songs are often used as a mecca for women to choose to be single. Moreover, if they understand the deep meaning of the song, it would be very nice.
Utilizing Time for Dress.Before dating, women usually beautify themselves with the dress. Dressing up is what sometimes cause problems in relationships. Why is that? Because women can spend hours simply to dress up. Ironically, men do not like to wait for long.
It is utilized that single women to preen as much as possible in a more convenient time. Dress up without waiting would be fun. So, they can look as good as possible to attend the celebration of valentine with her friends.
Do not want to be bothered with Permission.If you suddenly get a duty station outside the city or abroad during the celebration of this day of love, single women do not have to ask permission to the couple. It is certainly not easy to do if you have a girlfriend. It certainly should take care of licensing and provide a series of sense to pair that will be left. In fact, the task can be used as a venue for the streets.
Or for most teenagers who are still attending school. It would be difficult for them to get permission from the parents to be able to celebrate this day of love, especially has been known by many parents at this time that the celebration of this day of love has led to many negative things like binge drinking, drugs or sex free. Of course any parent would shield their children in order not to fall on things that harm themselves and their future.
Celebrate Valentine's with a couple lazy.Celebrate this day of love as if compulsory as a couple, whereas women prefer to celebrate Valentine's Day with family and friends. They are free to have fun and spend money for shopping without being noted and commented on.
Being a single woman is very pleasant because it is free to do things royal and visited several shops selling interesting items.
Especially for those who do not have a partner during this coming Valentines Day. Of course there will be a deeper feeling lazy today to celebrate.
If you really want to celebrate, it will certainly be confused with whom to celebrate. With friends? Naturally friend who owned will be busy with the celebration of this day of love with their partner. And for those who do not have a spouse will bite the fingers.
Free Sex Fear HappenedHis name is also the day of love, each pair as outlined to get swept up in the celebration of Valentines Day. This is what makes women afraid to do Valentine's Day with a girlfriend, especially if it were alone. Such conditions will usually lead to sex which of course is very detrimental to women. Today is the celebration of the day of love has been equipped and facilitated so easily once for things to happen like this free sex. With an atmosphere that was conditioned between the two people it will be easier for them to do this, especially, at this time many of us, especially among teenagers that far away from the correct understanding of Islam. They only understand Islam limited to worship alone. Or even Islam known only through a two-hour lesson a week in school. Islam is also simply known as one of the subjects in school.
With this fear of God will be eroded. Especially in a society controls also lower. People already think sex is a common thing indeed been done. The culprit did not get legal sanctions in the community. Gossip or isolation from society and not too obvious.
Our society has grown to be more indifferent to the conditions. They have been busy with their own lives without even thinking about what happens in the lives of others.
A complete waste of money.To celebrate this day of love, would have done thorough preparation ranging from dress, clothing or gifts for the boyfriend too. Sure it will suck a lot of money from us. Many people who do not want to be preoccupied with things like this. Rather than be used for such things as the celebration of this day of love, of course the money can be used for other things like buying science books to add insight horizon.
In addition to money, this celebration would also be wasting energy and also our time, a lot of things to be prepared. As well as a lot of the time anyway to be used in the celebration of the reception and implementation of this affection.
That view of Valentine's Not Coming from Islam.A Muslim is always basing all actions undertaken on the rules contained in Islam. What would be allowed and what is not allowed would be trying not done or abandoned. Because that's what would not be allowed to invite the anger of God, as when doing what is prohibited.
Similar to what is in the celebration of this day of love. When learning about the history of the origin of the emergence of this day of love, of course many Muslims who truly fear God's anger, felt no need to celebrate this day of love.
Because true love this day did not come from the religion of Islam and does not exist in Islam. So it is very clear that many Muslims, especially Muslim women who leave.
That's the reason some women choose singles when February 14 comes. Indeed, culture is the celebration day of love is not including the Indonesian culture. In fact, this tradition was opposed by religion, especially Islam. In addition to intersect with culture, history, and the originator of Valentine's Day, the celebration of the day of love is indeed quite ridiculous. Why is that?
How could love or Valentine's day is only done once a year. Indeed, Valentine's day is every day. In fact, all religions teach their followers to always love others, not only on a specific date. May be useful. So, thank you for reading this article.

Golden Girl: Lindsey Vonn's Fitness and Motivation Tips

Lindsey Vonn's Workout and Fitness Tips
Is there any sport you're not good at?
I'm pretty bad at surfing. Things in water tend not to go so well for me. I sink like a rock. I think it's because of my big butt.
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I'm really clumsy. I stumble a lot, stub my toe, drop my phone. My husband jokes that I'm safer on the slopes than I am off!
You wear makeup when you ski. Is that part of your routine?
I feel more confident when I wear it, and I think that comes across in my skiing. If you look good, you feel good.
What's workout heaven to you?
I love anything on a stability ball. It's more like play to me, because I can be creative and come up with different ways to exercise. I love working out my core, because I'm not only getting stronger but looking better, too.
What are your go-to healthy foods?
I love salmon, fruits, and nuts. But I'm originally from Minnesota, so deep down I'm still a steak-and-potatoes kind of girl -- even though I don't eat potatoes these days. I also stay away from processed carbs as much as possible because they're hard for the body to digest. But I do let myself cheat once a week. The hardest things for me to resist are sweets, like banana bread and French toast. I love to bake. In last winter's Olympics, I baked about 21 loaves of banana bread to keep myself relaxed.
What do you do to have fun?
I hang out with friends. I like getting a cup of coffee and going to the movies and being mellow and relaxed. I also play Kinect, a dance game on the Xbox 360. I dance around and have a great time, but I probably look like a dork.
How long do you think you'll keep skiing?
In 2015 the world championships will be in my hometown of Vail, Colorado. So I'm going to try to do well for the crowd. Maybe after that I'll retire and have four kids. I want to be a stay-at-home mom who bakes cookies and is there for her children.
When are you happiest?
When I'm with my family, preferably while skiing. I love being out on the mountain and feeling the wind against my face mixed with the adrenaline of going fast. At that moment it doesn't matter what else is going on in my life. All the chaos stops.

I don't think triple spec would be too good because that would defeat the purpose of having specs at all. You know blizzard would eventually lower the cost of that too and eventually, everybody will have it, just like double spec. I have around four thousand between my two main alts because I don't play for the money. I think that making money as you need it adds fun to the game.

A closer look at plans for Universal Studios Florida's Harry Potter Diagon Alley, and an expected opening date
Written by Robert Niles
Fifteen months ago, we gave you your first look at the upcoming Gringotts roller coaster that will provide the centerpiece of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter -- Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando. At the time, I also got a glimpse at the plans for the area that will surround Universal's Gringotts, though there wasn't nearly as much detail about those shops and restaurants for me to see and pass along to you, then.
That's changed.
I've now gotten a chance to get a closer look at what you'll find in Universal Studios Florida's version of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And I am blown away.
The view down Diagon Alley, from Pottermore
If you thought that the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure raised the bar for a themed entertainment area, Universal's getting ready to raise that bar a notch higher.
You won't see Diagon Alley from the rest of the park -- it'll be hidden behind the facades of Grimmauld Place, Wyndham's Theatre and other west end London landmarks. Only when you go through the adjacent Leicester Square station will you happen upon the "secret" entrance to the land, next to the Leaky Cauldron.
The Leaky Cauldron will be the new land's restaurant. And beyond the restaurant, Diagon Alley opens up in a riot of detail from the Harry Potter books and movies. This isn't some flat theme park land -- it will unfold before you on multiple levels, with elevated train trestles, stairways and multi-story facades. If you're looking for refreshment beyond the Leaky Cauldron, wander down the alley and turn left at Gringotts to find Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.
You'll find Ollivander's in Diagon Alley, of course, and on a much larger scale than in the Hogsmeade outpost in the original Wizarding World. There appear to be multiple "theaters" for the Ollivander's show in this Wizarding World, perhaps helping to alleviate the often-long waits found in the Islands of Adventure version.
Other shops will include Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, which appears to be the gift shop at the exit from the Gringotts ride. And, yes, there are plans for a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes as well, located near the land's exit.
For all you Slytherins out there, Universal's not forgotten you. Knockturn Alley comprises about one-third of the land, with Borgin and Burkes as its centerpiece.
The Gringotts coaster will be the land's main attraction, and there's space designated in the plans for lockers, so expect similar boarding restriction as on Revenge of the Mummy and the original Forbidden Journey ride. The land's other ride will be the Hogwarts Express train that will connect Diagon Alley with Hogsmeade and the original Wizarding World. There appears to be a ticketing hall in the works the entrance to the train station, perhaps allowing visitors who haven't upgraded to a park-to-park ticket to do so in order to board the Hogwarts Express.
Plans call for dozens of other locations in the new land, most of which I assume to be simple facades surrounding the shops, restaurants and attractions I've mentioned above. But they'll provide abundant photo ops throughout the area. (When Diagon Alley opens, look for me getting my picture taken next to the offices of the Daily Prophet!)
So, when will this new land open? When an initial source told me, I was stunned. So I dug around a little. Now, based on what I've heard and found, I believe that Universal is planning to open Diagon Alley in… July 2014.
That's right. After opening Transformers in Universal Studios Florida this July, Universal's going to follow up with a new Harry Potter land the next summer. If that sounds aggressive, let's remember that USF's Transformers is going from green light to opening in about 15 months, and Universal's well into construction on Diagon Alley already.
Of course, nothing's certain in construction, but if you're a Harry Potter or a theme park fan (and I presume that you are since you're reading this site) and you're not already saving up for a trip to Universal Orlando, start now. Fifteen months ago we first learned of this new land. And if plans hold, in just over fifteen months from now, it'll be open.
I cannot wait!
Update: We've posted some fresh aerial construction photos of Diagon Alley, provided by another Theme Park Insider reader.
Readers' Opinions
From Robert Niles on March 23, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Based on a July 2014 opening, I'm going to guess that Universal will announce Potter the day after Halloween Horror Nights ends this fall, just as it announced Transformers on that date last year. By the way, if you're planning a trip to Universal this summer to see Transformers and now considering holding off for Potter, don't. Transformers (which I've ridden both in Singapore and in Hollywood) is one of the world's great theme park attractions and well worth seeing. Plus, if the new Wizarding World draws anywhere near the crowds that the original did in its first summer, you might not be able to do Diagon Alley and anything else in the park on a single visit. So go this summer and get everything else out of the way so that you can devote your full time to waiting for Diagon Alley when it opens.

From Dominick D on March 23, 2013 at 12:11 PM
Nice to see Grimmauld Place as a waterfront facade, maybe there'll be a Sirius Black cameo? Definitely excited for this! I wonder if opening day will be bigger than Phase 1's!
From Robert Niles on March 23, 2013 at 12:14 PM
Also, what I *love* about Universal's aggressive attraction construction plans in Orlando is the apparent realization that a theme park can make more money having a great attraction open for an extra year than it can save by delaying its construction for that same year. (Please take note Disney!)
From James Trexen on March 23, 2013 at 12:17 PM
Great plans, but has there been any idea on how/if they plan to use the unfolding brick entrance?
From Bryce McGibeny on March 23, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Love Universal Orlando so much. Cannot wait.
From Dominick D on March 23, 2013 at 12:24 PM
James, I don't know if a brick wall entrance would be possible. You can already see construction in the land entrance, and it's not that wide.
From James Trexen on March 23, 2013 at 12:27 PM
Of course Dom, but that doesn't stop one from hearing tidbits here and there every now and again. ; )
From Robert Niles on March 23, 2013 at 12:27 PM
Stagecraft is one of those things that parks can keep secret, even as they have to file umpteen public documents on other aspects of major construction projects. So I don't know how the entrance to the new land will work. But having worked in a theme park before, I know that guest capacity is a major issue and that there doesn't appear to be an obvious permanent queue area in front of the entrance. So I expect that whatever the new entrance is, it won't be something that will cause a major delay in entering the land.
From Manny Barron on March 23, 2013 at 12:39 PM
July 2014!!! Thats insane but a really good thing. I love how Universal is really moving fast with their construction in Orlando.
From 188.8.131.52 on March 23, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Is there anymore information on Gringotts??
From Robert Niles on March 23, 2013 at 1:25 PM
We published a scene-by-scene description of the Gringotts ride at http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201112/2824/, in case anyone missed that.
From 188.8.131.52 on March 23, 2013 at 1:57 PM
One question. What's going to happen Halloween Horror Nights after all this Potter attractions open? Will both parks be open during their Rated-R event. Will Universal discounting HHN (I hope not). Will there be a family HHN for IOA to complete with Mickey not so scar Halloween. I remember hearing that HHN makes up 1/3 of there operation cost. So, how will Universal handle HHN after Potter opening is a big question.
From James Rao on March 23, 2013 at 2:03 PM
Sorry, Robert, but I am definitely going to put off a trip until after this work is done! There is so much that will be completed in the Orlando area by mid to late 2014 at the various parks that one would have to be rich and/or foolish NOT to wait.
Having said that...waiting is the hardest part!
From Daniel Etcheberry on March 23, 2013 at 2:11 PM
Universal will open the new Harry Potter land the same year Disney is opening the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! And that project has more years in the making than HP. While Avatar land will be ready in the afterlife of most of us. Shame on Disney for not spending more on their projects which take forever to be built.
These news should change Disney's timidity. I hope.
From Robert Niles on March 23, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Great question about HHN.
First, I can't imagine that Potter would ever be used as part of HHN. So assuming that, the easiest thing for Universal to do would be to close the entrance and exit between Diagon Alley from USF during HHN and have that event proceed as is now in the rest of the park.
That doesn't mean that Universal has to keep Diagon Alley closed during HHN, though. It could leave the land open, accessible only via the Hogwarts Express train from IOA. That way, Universal could eat its cake and have it too, keeping Diagon Alley open for the Potter fans during fall evenings, while leaving the rest of USF for the HHN crowd.
From David L. on March 23, 2013 at 3:30 PM
Heck Yeah! I'm looking forward to a greatly updated Universal Studios and if this is at least as good at the other half, the park will be better. When I visited last, May, this park felt very weak, but with the new parade, show, Despicable me, Transformers, simpsons, and this, the park wil likely be more fun to visit than DHS and maybe IOA.
From Jevon Allen on March 23, 2013 at 3:30 PM
Robert, can you elaborate what you meant in your comment "a theme park can make more money having a great attraction open for an extra year than it can save by delaying its construction for that same year". I don't get how that works. Thanks in advance!
From Rob Pastor on March 23, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Orlando Universal rocks.
From 22.214.171.124 on March 23, 2013 at 4:19 PM
When do you think soft openings will start?
From N B on March 23, 2013 at 4:21 PM
You have to figure all the HP nuts who showed up for IOA's HP grand opening will return for phase 2. Universal will be a madhouse for months.
This time the line will stretch across the CityWalk to the opposite way. I think they have learned a few lessons from the chaos that ensued for weeks at IOA and will apply it to Universal this time around.
Early entry to both parks will be the only savior for our family. I figure we check out phase 2 until the mayhem starts, then head over to a wide open Universal and IOA for hours on end.
If the increase in attendance at IOA is any indicator, you could excpect to see the same, if not more at Universal.
The trade off for the Jaws ride to a fully realized secondary HP land connected to the other is pure genuis.
The new numbers will be staggering.... I guarantee it. Why do you think the Cabana Bay is going up at a 24/7 pace? Add in Transformers, the new Krustyland restaurants, a possible new JP attraction at IOA, the dual HP train stations, Hogwarts Express and all the other yet-to-be-disclosed permits for new additions and I would say these people have thier proverbial ---- together.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Fear Factor come down this Summer and the former / unused Matt Hoffman show building at IOA as well.
Are you listening Disney? Get your Star Wars land and Avatar projects going already....
Maybe they could combine Cars and Star Wars for a land called Car Wars. Darth Mater, anyone?
From N B on March 23, 2013 at 4:25 PM
p.s. I would love to be at Universal for the new HP night time lagoon show reveal.... I'll have to settle for a YouTube video like with Transformers, but the place went wild.
From David L. on March 23, 2013 at 7:05 PM
With Diagon Alley openning in 2014, I hope IOA gets some attention in 2015 and '16. A lagoon show and jurassic park expansion respectively?
From Raul Araoz on March 23, 2013 at 7:25 PM
Universal actually wants the Jurassic Park expansion to open next year to coincide with the release of JP 4 in movie theaters & to offset the expected huge crowds to Potter Phase 2.
The current rumors going around for recreating the brick wall effect to the entrance to the new PotterLand involve using a similar mist screen that you can see on Pirates of the Caribbean.
As far as HHN goes, since both Potter lands are in the rear of both parks, I wonder if Universal will return to the split park event that they implemented in 2005.
From Dominick D on March 23, 2013 at 7:47 PM
I can see WWOHP II and the JP expansion being a joint grand opening like Disneyland did with Star Tours and The Little Mermaid.
From Aaron McMahon on March 23, 2013 at 9:55 PM
"First, I can't imagine that Potter would ever be used as part of HHN."
I don't think there will be any problem if they keep some of the attractions open (as they do with other rides) as long as there aren't scareactors roaming the Wizarding World.
Also, the hole in this plan is that they would have to check to see that everyone on the London side had a two park ticket before closing the entrance for HHN. It would be pretty easy to legitimately sneak by while in line or in a bathroom. Are they going to tell someone "oh you were stuck in line an missed the exit closing. You have to upgrade your ticket to physically get out of the park via Hogwarts Express"
My guess is that Hogwarts Express will close at 5 for both parks. Diagon Alley would remain open during HHN with basically Gringotts and Leaky Couldren open to increase the events' capacity but the scaractors would only be on the London (muggle)side.
From Sylvain Comeau on March 23, 2013 at 11:37 PM
I'm skeptical about the supposed opening date. Sure, they built Transformers in 15 months, but that's just one ride, and a clone as well. This is a whole new land and ride, built from scratch. Don't be surprised if we have to wait until 2015.
From Duncan Henny on March 24, 2013 at 5:45 AM
this is great news i've just booked up for sept 2014.
From Bob Liebe on March 24, 2013 at 5:49 AM
Is it July 2014 yet!?!? LOL Well bravo Robert for another great article! I immediately checked a few other sites to see their reaction and they were very jealous. This is the exact reason why I check here first for themepark news and why TPI is my #1 themepark site! Keep up the good work!!!
From 220.127.116.11 on March 24, 2013 at 6:27 AM
Another plea for Disney to drop the awful Avatar idea and go forward with Carsland and Star Wars!!
I think for me, a trip to Universal is in the cards for this year. Get a trip in to see the current HP before extra crowds descend next year. Then see the upgrades in a couple years after that. I am also hoping that maybe there will be a little lessening of crowds for this year with people holding off on a trip until 2014. Yeah, maybe wishful thinking, but still.
From Ashleigh Noad on March 24, 2013 at 9:27 AM
WOW! Universal has been THE theme park resort to watch in the past few years - the momentum the park is gathering is astounding. The idea of connecting the two parks by something as iconic as the Hogwarts Express, is as N B mentioned - genius!
Great article. I was beginning to wonder what details we would next hear about the expansion. Now for the official announcement...
From Gabriel Schroll on March 24, 2013 at 4:15 PM
I love what Universal has been doing lately. A lot of money is going into the park because the powers that be at Comcast realize that the theme park business is profitable if done right.
I'm not entirely sure Disney understands this as well, which is a shame. I'd never go as far as to say Disney should be scared, but they need to get with the program.
Hopefully, the rumors of DHS possibly getting ready for a Star Wars Land come to fruition because that park in particular is going to slide into oblivion if they're not careful.
From Anon Mouse on March 25, 2013 at 10:28 AM
I wonder why they are neglecting rides for the whole family. The new ride sounds like a roller coaster. Hardly a ride for young kids.
From Tony Duda on March 25, 2013 at 12:06 PM
I am glad they are ignoring (or deliberatly not making) rides for young kids. Keep all those screaming tots and those obnoxious strollers over at Disney World.
As for the future. I can imagine a time when HHN at USF can be run concurrently with a hard ticket WWOHP night based in IOA. With Hogwarts Express operating between parks and the entrances between Diagon Alley and USF closed, the two events never need to interact.
From 22.214.171.124 on March 25, 2013 at 1:52 PM
To Anon Mouse:
Except, from what's been said by insiders on various forums, this isn't really a 'thrill' coaster, in that it won't be doing extreme dips or banking turns. It's been described as more of a dark ride, with much more 'show elements' and sets than Forbidden Journey. So I think this will be quite family friendly. And even if it isn't, don't forget that the Hogwarts Express is supposed to be an incredibly immersive ride also (an insider on one forum described it as an E-Ticket). And The Express will certainly be family friendly. Universal is also building a spinner, in the expanded Simpsons land.
From 126.96.36.199 on March 25, 2013 at 2:57 PM
A whole third of the area is dedicated to Knockturn Alley? Really? The only shop we know of there is Borgin & Burkes. What else would they do there with that much room?
From Anon Mouse on March 25, 2013 at 3:57 PM
I'm glad to hear the ride is a gentle coaster. Harry Potter is largely a children's book. The rides should appeal to the target audience. Otherwise, the thrill aspect ruin a kid's enjoyment if they can't get on it. The movies were more family friendly in the beginning. The last two movies were extremely dark and not suitable for young kids.
From 184.108.40.206 on March 26, 2013 at 11:04 AM
So excited for this news!! I guess I should start planning for May 2015. Hopefully I get lucky with the crowds like I did for phase 1!!

What? Harry Potter mainly a children's book? Maybe at the beginning - why else would you have a groaner like Diagon Alley - but certainly not by the end of the series! And if you're talking Gringott's (at least inside the catycombs) you're certainly talking about the end of the series.

Jan 26 2012: Hi Sandra
I was recently in a news feature about entrepeneurship and strangely enough I have been receiving calls where people have shown to really NOT have understood what was the message of the feature (north to south of Portugal). Yes I have had obviously positive reactions, but scary to find that even through visual the message may not get through.
Jan 26 2012: here it is. in portuguese, but will you agree with me after seeing it, to receive phone calls of people that are promt to work with you? when you the one that need the credit!! it has been an interesting ride. but assure that even when well explained it may not get through. of course my 93 year old grandma did not get it, but the calls i got and which i received their cv's are well within my age... beijos

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A federal judge has sentenced a 25-year-old man to more than 19 years in prison after he was caught with child pornography in central Illinois.
U.S. Judge Sue Myerscough on Monday also ordered that Anthony Ferguson remain on supervised release for life following his release from prison. Ferguson pleaded guilty in July to using a 5-year-old child to produce child pornography.
Ferguson and his co-defendant, 26-year-old Laura Sigler, were arrested in March while living in a budget hotel in Lincoln. Prosecutors say they were using the child pornography to get money to pay their rent.
Sigler has also pleaded guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced in April.

Many Bothans Died to Bring You This Book...
Woohoo! For the past couple of years, I've been doing freelance work for Fantasy Flight Games to help produce for their Star Wars Roleplaying Game line. The most recent book/system, Age of Rebellion, is now available on Amazon and found in discerning game stores.
Like most of these projects, I was but one of several authors to fill these massive tomes. My portions included the Gamemaster section, dealing with how to plan and run your Star Wars game, plus some additional work scattered throughout the book.
One of the things that I love about writing for such massive IPs, like Star Wars, is talking about the stories that you don't see on the screen, the novels, or the TV shows. The SW Galaxy is, well, a galaxy. There are untold stories waiting to be heard–why should the main characters get all the love?
Hi there! I'm Eric Cagle. I'm a game designer, writer, editor, and producer with years of experience in the worlds of tabletop and digital gaming. This site shows off some of the work that I've done and gives you an idea of what I can do for you. Check out my blog to get some insight into my views on gaming, design work, and overall geekery with the occasional rant.

Layoffs with Payoffs: A Bargaining Model of Union Wage and Severance Pay Determination
AbstractPopular characterizations of union preferences assume that the income of laid-off union members is exogenous. There is evidence, however, of intra-union distribution schemes such as severance payments, unemployment insurance, retraining arrangements and early retirement schemes. This paper develops a model of wage and severance pay determination by a trade union and a firm bargaining in a right-to-manage framework. The important point differentiating the model in this paper from the orthodox union model is that it is efficiency-improving in the sense that it makes full-insurance possible and marginal productivity is equal to the opportunity cost of labour. Moreover, with redundancy pay on the bargaining agenda, both the right-to-manage and the efficient bargaining union models are characterized by the same efficiency conditions. This has implications for empirical research which attempts to distinguish between these two models, since the outcome of both models is the same. Finally, the union-firm bargaining model can also be compared with the outcome of the implicit contract model with redundancy pay. There is an important difference between the two approaches, however. While the result in this paper derives from an imperfectly competitive labour market where unions and firms bargain over wages and redundancy pay, the implicit contract result derives from a perfectly competitive labour market in which competitive forces lead to an efficient outcome.

Director Sam Raimi ("Spider-Man" trilogy, "Evil Dead" series) returns to the horror genre with "Drag Me to Hell," an original tale of a young woman's desperate quest to break an evil curse.
Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home.
In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

Brewery Gulch Inn
Mendocino, California, 95460, United States
Standing on the balcony of the Osprey Room at the Brewery Gulch Inn might satisfy a lingering childhood fantasy of living in a tree fort. A mile south of the historic California town of Mendocino, on a bluff bordered by pine, fir, and hemlock, the inn overlooks verdant meadows and the Pacific Ocean. The redwood-shingled, three-story structure was built from 150-year-old timber eco-salvaged from the bottom of Mendocino's Big River. All 10 bedrooms (each named for one of the region's birds or trees) have ocean views, Craftsman-style furniture, down comforters, and fireplaces; most have private decks. The Great Room, with its oversized steel-and-glass fireplace, is an ideal spot for playing backgammon, critiquing local wines, or indulging in a breakfast of brioche French toast with vanilla-bourbon maple syrup. For outdoor adventures, have the concierge book a kayak tour of sea caves or a guided horseback ride on the beach—or simply go hug a redwood.

Birth control and the economy (they get along famously)
Wow. We probably don't need to tell you that birth control has been in the news a lot lately. And though unfortunately we can't say the attention has been all positive, we've actually seen a whole lot of good publicity coming out of the discussion overall. The latest theme we've noticed is media attention to birth control and the economy—and let's just say birth control comes out looking pretty fantastic (no make-up required). A few favorite points in birth control's favor:
Women benefit. The New York Times published a piece yesterday (which The Washington Post riffed off of) on how the pill has affected women's ability to contribute to the economy. A teaser:
A study by Martha J. Bailey, Brad Hershbein and Amalia R. Miller helps assign a dollar value to those tectonic shifts. For instance, they show that young women who won access to the pill in the 1960s ended up earning an 8 percent premium on their hourly wages by age 50.
Such trends have helped narrow the earnings gap between men and women. Indeed, the paper suggests that the pill accounted for 30 percent – 30 percent! – of the convergence of men's and women's earnings from 1990 to 2000.
Taxpayers benefit.On Sunday, The Times published a piece on "Pregnancy Prevention and the Taxpayer." The article highlighted a recent study that found that there are a few things the government can pay for that will save taxpayers many, many dollars over the long haul. According to the study, "[t]he biggest savings would come from increasing the amount of subsidized birth control available to poor women. At a cost of $235 million a year, such programs could save $1.32 billion annually." Sounds like a good deal to us…
Consumers benefit (from more information about their birth control options). Okay, maybe that heading's a stretch, but we wanted to include an article from U.S. News Money on "The Real Cost of Birth Control," which sought to be "a guide for people who want to consider the health of their bank account when making their birth control decision." We love that they wanted to make the cost of different methods easier to understand, though it doesn't look like they fully accounted for health insurance coverage (or health reform, which will eliminate co-pays on birth control, or other programs to make birth control cheaper or even free…) They also seem to have used slightly outdated effectiveness numbers for the different methods.
Must also note that their conclusion that the diaphragm is the most cost-effective method rings a bit hollow considering that with normal use of it, 12 in 100 women will get pregnant within a year of relying on it—U.S. News quotes that proportion as 15 in 100, which would be even more of a reason not to recommend it for folks who are watching their finances. As the article itself notes, an accidental pregnancy can be harder on a bank account than any method on the market. No offense to the diaphragm intended, but considering that the IUD, for example, is often quite affordable with insurance and also incredibly effective (same story for the implant, which didn't even get a mention, as well as sterilization), we definitely would've picked a different winner.
Insurance providers and their customers benefit. And last but not least, way back in February, TIME published an excellent explanation of "Why Free Birth Control Will Not Hike the Cost of Your Insurance," complete with illustrative anecdotes:
Think of it this way: If my married daughter lays out a $15 co-pay for birth control pills, she doesn't save a dime. True, she protects herself against the emotional cost of an unwanted pregnancy, along with the hefty costs of raising a child. But in terms of the costs to give birth to the child, she is not much better off, because if she does become pregnant, her insurer, like many, would pay the bills above and beyond the co-pay.
By contrast, if an insurer makes birth control totally free for all of its customers, it avoids having to reimburse them for countless unplanned pregnancies and births. Overall, then, it's cheaper for the insurer to pay a little upfront to save a ton down the line.
The Birth Control Solution: Education + Re-Branding
In Nicholas Kristof's NY Times column today he writes, "What's needed isn't just birth-control pills or IUDs. It's also girls' education and women's rights — starting with an end to child marriages — for educated women mostly have fewer children." Clearly, Mr. Kristof had women and girls worldwide in mind when he wrote that.
But as we are one week away from the official launch of a nationwide public service announcement campaign for Bedsider—including TV, print, and web ads—which will be the first time such a campaign runs in the U.S., we are reminded that education is needed here too. But the education needed is regarding all the options of birth control available and how to use it correctly and consistently.
Among single women in their 20s, more than 7 in 10 pregnancies are unplanned according to The Fog Zone, a nationally representative survey commissioned by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and conducted by the Guttmacher Institute.
Young adults care about avoiding pregnancy. The overwhelming majority say they really don't want to get pregnant right now. But, they don't put this into practice very well. If we look at those in a current sexual relationship who are not pregnant or trying to get pregnant, nearly one fifth use no contraception at all!
With Bedsider, we've tried to address the real issues and hurdles that women face, and give them tools they can actually use to stick with their plans to not get pregnant before they're ready. Part of it is education, for sure. But it's education in a voice that makes sense and comes from the point of view of the women to whom we're speaking.
Bedsider re-brands birth control. And through this re-branding we hope to make birth control a normal part of healthy lives and, ultimately, healthy families.

White Possum Round Side Table
There's something we like about this table. It's not that it's made out of recycled milk jugs, although that is cool, or it's classic black and white color scheme.
Maybe it's the fact that it reminds us of one of those little "tables" that comes in a pizza box?
White Possum Round Side Table, $198 from Sprout Home.

To my eyes that befriends assumptions art,
Of seeing what the mind wants me to see,
Blink now and tell me that my lover's heart,
Will not wander and walk away from me.
Bitter beyond beliefs, her heart I blame,
Of breathing thoughts; romance with other men.
Giving my all, gambling this guilty game...
A sin with-in I'll never seem to win.
Flowers of April showers fall to grass,
As franticly I frown myself the fool.
Yet after years would grow upon the glass,
She would reveal her dark unfaithful wool.
Now numb and void, I always will perceive,
To be or not to be what I believe.

Allow us to introduce the new weekly round-up, it's been a while! Due to having over 30 contributors in addition to the original 9, we're going to alternate weekly between a contributors round-up and one of all you guys! So submit your photos now for next week's round-up!
Natasha is wearing THE coolest tights I've ever seen, which I think would actually go very nicely with Joanna's cute pink dress! Kailey's vintage dress was thrifted by her mom in the 90's, sometimes moms have some real gems!Caroline is always looking lady-like and kinda gothic, it werks gurl! Meagan's collection of lace dresses and cool drapey clothing reminds me of her musical taste, to create a world that goes together so nicely sounds like a total dream.
Everyone looks like they're ready to go to a garden party! CJ's lookin' like a pouty princess (as per usual) in a really sweet baby-doll dress. Ari's lace dress is absolutely stunning, I don't know how she does it, but she does it well. That sun hat on Kaitlyn is probably a good idea for all of us, it blocks out the sun SO WELL! Olivia and Danny are channelling that tropical look via their bad-ass tops this week. And Darshana really does look like a prim and proper lady going out with her friends for afternoon tea.
Let's see YOUR looks next week!

Ben & Jerry's Gives '30 Rock' Its Own Flavor & 4 Other TV Shows That Deserve the Honor
It breaks my heart that the 30 Rock series finale is January 31, but thankfully, the show will live on not only on Netflix, but in our beautiful, stainless steel freezers, as well. Ben & Jerry's has announced they're making a special 30 Rock flavor that'll pay homage to our favorite sitcom.
Exactly what flavor it will be with which chunks and swirls remains to be seen, but I'm pumped nevertheless to know that there will be an opportunity not far from now where I can sit in my adult onesie watching 30 Rock reruns and eating Good God Lemon Sorbet, or I Wasn't Raisin a Barn, or High-Fiving a Million Angels Food Cake.
Come to think of it, there are a lot of TV shows I'd love made into ice creams ...
Of course, there's Seinfeld. Maybe a These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty, or Hello, Jerry Cherry Garcia, or George Costanza Banana Bonanza.
Then there's Michael Butterscotch Cookie, or Light Dwight Beet Sorbet, or Pam & Jimmies Vanilla Crunch to honor The Office.
And who could leave out Homeland. Brody's Sack of Nuts, or Carrie Berry Terrorist Blast, or Fundamentalist Funfetti.
Last but not least, there's Friday Night Lights. Clear Pies, Full Candy Hearts, Decadent Moos, or Tami Taylor Made Tiramisu, or Riggin's Rocky Road Rigs, or Lyla Sucks So Let's Just Eat Ice Cream & Forget She Was Ever on the Show.
The real 30 Rock flavor should be in grocery stores by March, at the latest.
Any good names for the new 30 Rock Ben & Jerry's flavor?

When Bible League International created a free app, some were skeptical. Will people become more engaged in their faith because of technology, or is technology just one more barrier to faith?
According to its website, the concept behind the WordPower™ app of Bible League International is to "encourage you each day in your walk with Christ" by propelling the devoted into a deeper meditation of Scripture. But can a technology replace the personal journey of discovery that is central to a life of faith?
Personal Becomes Public
Social media platforms have changed the way people communicate with each other. Instant communication to the world has had a corresponding effect on how people broadcast their personal lives. Faith, once a deeply personal and private matter, has become a topic for personal revelation online.
With the Pope posting updates on Twitter and people of faith creating videos as they testify, has the private aspect of worship been relegated to history?
Informed By Millennials
A study by the Christian website Barna.org looked at the prevalence of faithful who access the Bible, scripture, or spiritual information on line. Millennials (people born between 1980 and 2005) were found to be the largest demographic for Internet based faith. This comes as no surprise as technology has infiltrated every area of millennial life. The realm of faith should be no exception.
This next generation of faithful is changing the way scripture is read with 70% reporting they study the Word on a screen rather than from a physical Bible or other religious tome. For the people at Bible League International, this was a motivating factor in creating their app.
"We have to be available on the devices young people are using."
Information Overload
The downside of the new communication technologies is that people are being inundated with information. There are so many places to visit and points of view to be found that the dissemination of information has taken a backseat. And nowhere is this as important as it is in faith.
Past generations became versed in a faith through years of study and quiet contemplation. By reading and re-reading the Bible, the words and ideas that shape their faith, a person was able to develop a deeper connection to God. Leaders fear that scholarship will be replaced by rote memorization of spiritual trivia.
Spread the Message
When early missionaries were sent out to spread the word of God, they did so with the belief they represented the scriptures. They were the "experts" preaching the word to the faithful and unconverted from a position of authority. Missionaries spent years in preparation for their missions.
Today, thanks to the Internet, everyone has access to a multitude of spiritual information. This has created a new breed of laypersons that want to share their beliefs with the world. While admirable in philosophy, these enthusiastic proponents are not grounded in the teaching the way traditional missionaries were.
The potential for spreading inaccurate information was a driving force behind the Bible League International app.
"We developed WordPower™ using the teaching found in scripture. We want users to find the connection to God through his Word," Bible League International said.
Divine Challenge
Not all religious leaders are worried about the effect of technology on faithful devotion. Paul Jesep, a policy analyst, corporate chaplain, and author of "Lost Sense of Self & the Ethics Crisis: Learn to Live and Work Ethically" sees the new technologies as an opportunity.
"The challenge for spiritual leaders is to re-create a modern means to communicate the wisdom to the notebook and smart phone generation," Jesep said.
In an article posted on Patheos.com, Jesep said religious leaders must embrace the new technologies or become a piece of history.
"The technology generation must re-create the ancient lessons making metaphors relevant to them even though too many spiritual leaders hostile to science have made religious metaphors into facts and thus superstitions," he said.
Finding Balance
Like many of the secular challenges inherent in new technologies, the key is to find a balance between the practices of the past and the opportunities of the future. Accessing and growing spiritual faith through technology presents an additional outreach tool. It also opens new doors to discussion with church leadership in new ways.
Social media is another means of sharing and evangelizing the Word of God to the world. Chat groups and online forums bring together the faithful and opens up new avenues of discussion.
The road to Jesus has many paths on the information highway. Whether reading the Bible on a cell phone or on a book handed down through the generations, the Word is the Word. This is an exciting time in the history of communication. By joining the technological revolution, institutions of faith like Bible League International are delivering an ancient message in a brand new way.

Site of proposed 34,000 square-feet retail space and four proposed one-story office buildings on Shallowford Road.Illustration by Laura McNutt.
The run-down tennis courts and mildew-filled YMCA pool could soon be replaced on Shallowford Road with a 34,000 square-feet retail space and four proposed one-story office buildings.
Bassam Issa, of ANT Group, hopes to purchase the 5-acre tract of land listed for $800,000 that is hedged between some apartment complexes, condos, businesses, such as Home Depot and the nearby YMCA Hamilton branch.
His proposal includes a hedge of green spaces surrounding the office buildings, a water feature in the center of the parking lot and a retail business near Ogletree Avenue that he says will benefit the existing neighborhood.
Councilman Larry Grohn, whose district the development will be built in, said the project will only add to the value of Shallowford Road and the two entrance options won't increase traffic on the busy roadway. The layout of the project fits in with the use of the area and will attract new businesses to rent the new space, he said.
Issa's reduction in the size of office spaces have won over the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency, said Grohn, who said the agency was originally hesitant to approve the rezoning plans to build the project. The project is slated to go before the planning commission in two weeks for a rezoning request.
Nearly 20 residents listened quietly at a YMCA community meeting as architect Pat Neuhoff and Issa presented the plan for the property.
After asking several questions, residents said Issa's plans sound good if he does what he says.
"I'd like to see the renderings and verify that there are no apartments," said Joe Schultz, president of the Village of Ashwood Homeowners Association. Some 86 families occupy the Village of Ashwood near the commercial development.
Said Joye Lawson, another resident, "I think it's good deal for our community. I'm glad we're having a local developer and a local architect."
Surrounding property owners don't want another apartment complex near them because they say it will increase traffic.
Issa assured the group that his plans don't include residential development.
Issa said he will put a grocery store in the back of the five acre, and he's already talking to two potential stores. The front of the property will be office space. Instead of crowding Shallowford most people will enter and exit the property on Ogletree or Commons Road. Delivery trucks will have access to a back entrance so they don't have to use Shallowford Road. There will only be one exit and entrance to the property on Shallowford road, he said.
About four years ago, the YMCA closed the outdoor pool because it was small and under-used, said the YMCA's chief operating officer Rick Madison, and the Hamilton branch has indoor pools. The organization also stopped any tennis programs on the courts, but neighborhoods are still using the courts on their own, he said.
Madison said he hasn't received any complaints from the neighborhoods about losing the courts and there are no plans to replace the outdoor pool or the tennis courts.
