The Ann Arbor Area RPG & D&D Group Message Board › Kids Game - 3.5 Forgotten Realms

Ann Arbor, MI
This game will be based in Waterdeep. I will be using material from Cityscape and Dungeonscape so feel free to use feats, spells, equipment etc... from those books.
Starting Gold 3,300 GP.
4th level and 28 point buy for statistics.
Players handbook races only unless I approve. Send email to email@example.com with back story if you want to play something else.
No evil role-playing or alignments.
I will provide pre-generated Player's Handbook classes for newcomers.
Kids under 12 need a parent present at the table.
Bluff, diplomacy, disguise, gather information, intimidate and sense motive skills will be used often and should not be dump skills. Role playing skills and stats will be important.
Some house rules:
* Diagonal movement costs two square instead of 1 1/2. Because it takes two squares to get there.
* Intimidate is a combination of strength plus charisma. So if you have a -1 to charisma and a +4 to strength your intimidate bonus is +3. If your strength is -2 and your charisma is +3 then you add +1 to intimidate. Because tough guys are intimidating even if ugly.
* There are no restrictions on Multi-Classing
* All Wizards and Clerics have to present the DM with memorised spells per day at the beginning of each day.
* Grapple rules - Opposed Grapple check and that is it. What can you do in a grapple? Nothing but prevent the person from doing anything either. You are wrestling. Get used to it. What happens when someone joins a grapple? Aid another = +2 to your strength if they role over 10. Check each round.
* No need to for Wizards or Clerics to memorise 0 level spells. You have them all the time like a sorcerer. You do have to pick per day however.
* Ranged Weapons add Dex to damage

Last month summary
You were all asked by to perform a test that would get you into the elite group of the Grey Hand Enforcers. You met the leader of the GHE named Jardwim at Blackstaff Tower.
You were asked to go collect taxes from a dwarf named Maavu. You went to his warehouse but could not find him. While there you managed to kill an umber hulk who was set on destroying the city. Many of you went a little crazy and one of you almost died.
After the attack you mingled with some patrons of a nearby tavern. You managed to find out where Maavu's house was in the North district. Also, one of you found magic sigils in the ruins of Maavu's ruined warehouse.
Once back at Blackstaff Tower you were met by Laeral Silverhand who invited you to a party to congratulate you on your endeavors. You were invited to an exclusive club called The Gentle Mermaid. You were also presented with badges which give you special permissions in the city. These should not be flaunted because you are after all undercover. Jardwim thinks there may be some dirty agents in his ranks.
You all went to the party except the half-orc who didn't have proper clothes. You spent your time there eating, drinking and gambling. Finally Laeral introduced you to an old withered dwarf named Davked Splintershield. He told the story of how his son Zenith was adventuring in the Underdark and was now imprisoned there by strange creatures. He paid you 2000 GP each with a promise of 2000 more upon the return of his son. Once of you gets a funny feeling about this dwarf.
You all spent the rest of the evening doing various things. One of you spotted dark shapes going from rooftop to rooftop in the night. Others were treated like kings in Maavu's home by his servants. They have no idea where he may be but he often does business up North in the mountains.
You were given a map by Davked that would direct you toward an old hermit named Jared. On your way you were surprised by two bugbears and a chimera. The half-orc fighter fell in battle and you now these creatures to deal with.
Up ahead you see what look like ruins and it looks like that is where the map ends.

NEAS to Close European Power Fund as Investors Prefer Accounts
NEAS Energy Funds Plc will close the 21-month old NEAS Power Fund on June 17 as investors preferred managed accounts and after it lost 7 percent this year.
"The rationale for this decision stems from the fact that the advisers believe that many institutional investors now prefer to invest in this asset class via managed accounts rather than fund structures," the board of directors for NEAS Energy Funds including Chairman Niels Jensen said in a letter to investors dated yesterday and obtained by Bloomberg News.
The NEAS Power Fund, which buys and sells power, carbon, oil, natural gas and coal, opened in October 2009 and advanced 9 percent last year. Assets in the fund remained little changed at about $12 million since the start as investors instead chose managed accounts, Nick Rees, a partner at Absolute Return Partners LLP, which markets the fund, said yesterday by phone from London. Assets in the fund and accounts operated by its adviser NE Capital Management totaled $50 million as of this month, he said.
The 2011 loss "was a factor, but not the main factor," for the closure, Rees said. The NEAS Power Fund rose 1.2 percent in April and 2.3 percent in May, recovering from a first-quarter decline of 10 percent.
"Profits were made from the favorable movements in the German power market, in the volatile crude oil market and by taking a long position in carbon emissions," according to the fund's May letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg News.
German power for next year, a European benchmark, traded at its highest level in two years on May 31, climbing to 60.90 euros ($88.18) a megawatt-hour after Europe's biggest economy hastened its exit from nuclear energy. Germany is the largest nation to abandon atomic power after the March disaster at Japan's Fukushima plant stoked concerns about nuclear safety.
Hedge funds are largely unregulated investment vehicles whose managers can trade any asset, aim to make money regardless of whether markets rise or fall and participate substantially in profit from money invested.

By John T. Bennett - 06/28/11 04:58 PM EDT
Republican and Democratic senators continued to disagree over the Libya military operation Tuesday, but a consensus emerged that modern weapons of war have made the War Powers Resolution outdated.
Senate Armed Services Committee members again were split along party lines about whether the White House violated the 1973 law by launching military intervention in Libya without congressional notification.
Harold Koh, a senior State Department legal adviser, reiterated the Obama administration's contention that the president acted within the bounds of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, an argument congressional Republicans flatly reject.
Directly addressing GOP concerns, Koh told the panel Obama never indicated a right as chief executive or an intention to violate either the Constitution, the War Powers Resolution or international law.
The State Department lawyer repeated an administration contention that with the U.S. handing the bulk of offensive missions in Libya and operational control to NATO before the War Powers Resolution's 60-day forced pull-out requirement, its current supporting role fails to meet the law's definition of hostilities.
NATO aircraft are now conducting 90 percent of the airstrike sorties inside Libya, Koh said, and 75 percent of all sorties.
Republican panel members mostly blasted the Obama administration for failing to seek congressional approval before launching the mission, which the American military led during the opening weeks.
Sen. Bob CorkerBob CorkerTrump starts considering Cabinet Trump's secret weapon is Ivanka Senate Dems introduce Iran sanctions extension MORE (R-Tenn.) said by not first coming to Capitol Hill, the White House opted for "sticking a stick in the eyes of Congress," a move he said "undermined the integrity of the War Powers Act."
Panel Chairman Sen. John KerryJohn KerryDefense chief casts doubt on cooperation with Russia in Syria Five decades of Democratic convention memories Three strategies to help Clinton build 'Team of Teams' MORE (D-Mass.) took umbrage to Corker's remarks during a testy exchange, saying he went to Senate leaders before the operation began in March about a use-of-force resolution "but no one wanted to do it."
Saying he would not stand by and let critics "throw darts" at the White House, Kerry added that "any senator can go to the Senate floor" to challenge the constitutionality of the operation, but no senator has done so.
The partisan clashes comes just hours before the same committee will mark up a bipartisan resolution that would authorize the Libyan mission — but on a limited basis. Last week the House shot down a similar bill.
Between those clashes, committee members zeroed in on the use of Predator unmanned aircraft by the U.S. military in Libya.
Because the remotely piloted drones means U.S. military personnel are not directly at risk, senators argued, Obama and all future commanders in chief will be able to build an argument to get around the War Powers Resolution's definition of hostilities.
For that reason, Kerry and Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), the panel's ranking member, agreed it might be time to revist the post-Vietnam era law.
Unmanned aircraft and other emerging technologies mean wars will be fought "totally differently" in the future, Lugar said.
This means future presidents could shut out Congress when deciding whether to use the U.S. military by "waging war remotely," Lugar said. With no U.S. troops directly at risk, a legal argument could be framed to get around the War Powers Resolution, he warned.
To this end, the U.S. involvement is setting a new precedent, Corker warned.
"By the president's reasoning, we could drop a nuclear bomb on Tripoli" but lawyers could argue that is not hostilities under the 1973 law, Corker said. The same argument could be made, without changes to the law, for Predator strikes, he said.
"But we know what Predators do," Corker said. "A lot of times, human beings are not alive when they finish doing what they do."
Not so fast, Koh shot back, saying that if the U.S. were using the Predators to carry out many more strikes or for the "carpet bombing" of another nation, it would create different legal dynamics. But, right now, the rate of Predator strikes in Libya "is not even close" to the amount that would trigger the War Powers Resolution's 60-day troop withdrawal provision, Koh said.

Writers' Groups
Writing can be very lonely, and you can get great attacks of self- doubt. So, in a way, it makes sense to bond with a group of like- minded people who have also set out on the same kind of journey. For one thing, it will stop you from thinking that you are the only person in the world mad enough to believe that there's a book in you, and for another, it means you will meet sympathetic people instead of dealing with those who think you are crazy and should be learning belly dancing or car maintenance, instead. Let me give you some of my own personal views on the advantages and dangers of a writers' group.
There's a danger that it could become a talking shop. A place where everyone endures everyone else's work as a kind of payment for having them listen to yours—like golfers waiting patiently through the tales of other people's chipping and putting until they can tell their own story.
Then there's the advantage that you can hear the mistakes others make and learn from them. It's much easier to see the flaws in someone else's work than in your own. The man who drones on and on giving endless descriptions of the sunset might bring you back sharp to your own writing and make you examine it more carefully. Or the woman who has a cast of thousands of characters, confusing everybody . . . this could make you rethink a bit, too.
Another danger I see in writers' groups is that of overpoliteness. I know that I would be guilty of it, because if a fellow member were reading out the greatest load of rubbish with an eager, delighted face I just could not be sufficiently cruel as to say how bad it was. And then I'd be afraid that others were being similarly overpolite to me. Perhaps your group should have a policy on honesty.
A writers' group would have the great advantage of keeping you up to scratch, like Weight Watchers does, or Alcoholics Anonymous. If you have to turn up with something written every Wednesday, then it's easier to keep to your schedule than if you had to only deal with yourself. It's dead easy to make a convincing argument to yourself. We have all done it. "You're tired, Maeve; don't be so doctrinaire; you don't need to write every week," and so the slippery slope begins. It's harder to explain to a group that you were tired. They were all tired, but they did their writing.
Another danger of a writers' group is that it might make you feel inadequate. Suppose there are one or two confident writers in the group who are very good; it could send you back into your shell. Or worse, you might want to denigrate your own work and imitate them instead. This would be a pity, but I have heard of cases where it has happened. Anxious people compare themselves unfavorably with leading lights. They feel confirmed in their belief that they are no good and quit before it's really begun. Maybe they were always going to do so, but it's sad when the very vehicle of mutual support and encouragement that was supposed to help them actually just makes them too scared to really give it a go, and is somehow proof that they are right to opt out.
Despite these few dire warnings, I do believe that writers' groups can be a great power for good. I have a friend in England who went to a group, and they all hated one another's novels-in-progress but liked each other. They all gave up on the fiction writing and wrote a cook book instead. They got it published, and four more in a series after it, and still meet every week and are firm friends. I suppose, like everything, it's up to you what you bring to and take from a writers' group. I hope that a lot of you may go that route and that you will be able to exchange information and constructive criticism. You probably have much more courage about being honest than cowards like myself. I think my problem was that for years I had a neighbor who used to say proudly, "I speak as I find." The thing was that she invariably found something unpleasant to speak of.
May it be very different for all of you!

Telling a Story
They say that when beginning a story you should always try to catch people at some interesting juncture of their lives, like when they have to make a choice or a decision, or when someone has betrayed them, or at the start of love or the end of love. It's better to come across them at some kind of crisis than in the middle of a long, lazy summer where nothing happens.
The notion of change is important in a story. It would be a dull tale indeed if the hero took no notice of the disintegration of his family, if he were the same unaltered dullard after four hundred pages. The reader would feel fairly shortchanged.
I can't tell you what story to write. Nobody can do that except you. But I can share with you some of the advice I got along the way from wise editors, men and women whose job it is to know what people like and to keep us writers somehow on the rails.
They told me that we must be interested in the hero or heroine—that doesn't mean making the person into a walking saint or goody-goody, but it does mean giving him or her a strong and memorable personality. There is no point whatsoever in spending pages and pages describing someone who is a dithering, dull kind of person without purpose, views, or motivation. Nobody will finish such a story. We have to care enough about the people to follow them through to the last page. When I first heard this, I began to panic a bit and asked humbly what kind of people might be interesting enough to hold the reader's attention. I wouldn't be able to create Captain Ahab, the man who pursued Moby-Dick, or Rhett Butler, who didn't give a damn. But I was told that writing wasn't a matter of painting by numbers. They couldn't just create some formula, leaving me to join up the dots. I had to think, and work out the kind of people whose lives and adventures I would be interested in myself. This way I might be on the way to making others interested in them, too.
In my case, I was interested in people who were told that if they were good they would be happy, and were therefore disappointed when it didn't always turn out for them. So I worked out that, in a way, people create their own happiness not just by being good, whatever that is, but by seeking opportunities, taking chances, taking charge of their own destinies. It interested me as a start and then kept me going. It could work for you, too, if you found a theory around which to base a story, but there's no point in anyone else telling you what to write about. You'll end up writing their ideas, not your own.
Another good piece of advice I got was to think of the story as a journey. Something happens to the main character at the start, and we follow him or her dealing with it, or not dealing with it, or ignoring it, or making it worse. Whatever. Now, I don't mean a literal journey; they don't even have to leave home. But they have to progress, be different people for better or worse at the end. The man who thinks his wife is unfaithful, his son on hard drugs, his colleagues in the office on the take, or his own gambling is out of control has to do something to change the situation. You can't leave him static in the same plight at the end of chapter fourteen as he was at the outset. The woman who has a bad medical diagnosis, a faithless friend, an unjust accusation of shoplifting, or proof that her brother is a murderer must take steps of some sort over whatever it is. She can't sit there like a dumbo for page after page letting it all wash over her.
An editor will also stress that pace is important when you are telling a story. Again, nobody can hold your hand over this, but I have found that at the beginning it helps to make a kind of chart of the book chapter by chapter, giving myself orders like, "By the end of chapter two we must know that she cannot afford to pay the rent and will be evicted," and then, "By the end of chapter three we must know that her rent will be paid for her, but at a price." If you do this in advance it stops you from dawdling about till you're ready and generally dragging the thing out and making it endless. There's no right pace or wrong pace; it's up to you. But there's no harm in being aware of it. A gentle, lyrical story will call for one kind of speed, a fast-moving action thriller another.
I hope it's all going well for you and that you are getting your ten pages a week done, as I am myself despite a broken arm and a general wish to do anything rather than write.
But I told you it was easy, so I have to believe it, too.
Anyway, there's a sort of solidarity in numbers.
Maeve's Letters
week 4
Writing Short Stories
This week I had to write a short story for an anthology, and I thought the best help I could be to you is to share all the questions I asked myself and how I attempted to answer them. At the end of this book you will find a few new stories I have written.
Where to set it?
In my case this was easy. It has to be about Dublin, so I placed it in a small house in a Dublin street that used to be working-class but was moving upward in parts. This would mean I could have all sorts of neighbors if I needed them—but I remembered it's only a short story, so no time for a pile of neighbors.
When is it set?
I think this anthology is more for a younger readership, but then again almost everyone is younger than I am, so I decided to make it present-day and see it from the point of view of a restless fourteen- year-old who is dissatisfied with her parents and overimpressed by her stylish aunt who comes to visit.
What are the main dangers in a short story?
For me the biggest danger is overcrowding the story with too many people. No time, I kept telling myself, to bring in her schoolmates, her teachers. No time for all the neighbors and their problems, no space to talk about her two awful younger brothers. Instead, just mention the two insufferable boys as a horrible presence in the background.
Before you begin, what must you do?
You must know the end. Otherwise you are lost. I have begun far too many short stories that died the death because I didn't know where they were going. You don't have the luxury in a short story of not knowing how it will turn out and waiting until you see how the characters are getting on. I had to force myself to write down the resolution. What was going to happen to the girl's relationship with her aunt? Would the aunt guide her through the drama or be useless? Would the girl know the difference between wise and crazy advice? I was tempted to start writing it and see how it went, but do this and you are sure to end up waffling.
Okay, so you know the end; how do you begin?
I think you open with the action, introduce the two main characters. I began with the girl waiting for the aunt's annual visit. I don't do much descriptive stuff at the start. If I were to tell you all about the house and the garden with bicycles in it, and the wallpaper and the shabby stair carpet, it might fill in the texture but I'd still be writing it a month later. Get them up and running and start moving them toward the end.
A lot of dialogue or not?
Enough to move the story on. The girl's mother could say something that shows us what a hard life she leads; the girl should say something that lets us know how vulnerable she is, and something else later showing us how she has moved on.
What kind of a time frame?
In this case, for my plot it had to take place over a period of two years. So if I am moving them on at that pace there's no time for long descriptions of what they had for breakfast, nor too much "he said" and "she said." I was tempted to follow the aunt as she went from one cultural event to the next, but if I did follow her the plot would never have taken place, and the aunt and the reader and I would still be stuck at some exhibition.
How long is a short story?
It's a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. In this case they didn't specify a length (it is actually easier when they do). Anyway, it was about 3,500 words. That's eight pages of my typing. It took one day to plan it out and four days to write, at about four hours each day.
Is it any good?
I have absolutely no idea. I vary in my thinking. Sometimes I look at it and believe that it's tender and sensitive; then I move on and the next day I truly think it's a load of rubbish and that editors of the anthology will return it in disgust.
But I'll tell you what it is . . . it's finished!

Wait an Hour After Eating to Swim
A long held belief is that swimming immediately after eating can cause severe muscle cramping and, in extreme cases, drowning, since the body diverts its blood flow away from muscles to the digestive system. According to the American Red Cross, there is no set amount of time you should wait to swim, although it might feel a bit uncomfortable swimming on a full stomach.

Broadmoor home destroyed in Thursday fire
Published: Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 6:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 18, 2012 at 12:27 p.m.
A two-story house in the Broadmoor subdivision caught fire Thursday, authorities said, and the cause is currently unknown.
Photo Galleries
The fire at 905 Eagle Drive was called in about 5:45 p.m. Bayou Cane, Schriever and Coteau firefighters were called out to fight the blaze, which was under control in about an hour, Bayou Cane Fire Inspector Ken Himel said.
The smoke was visible for miles, residents said. Firefighters stayed at the house for several hours afterward, investigating and putting out hot spots.
Nobody was home when the fire started, Himel said. The owner, Annette Doucet, left her house for about 20 minutes, only to come home and find it in flames.
Himel said the house is destroyed. The roof and second story were heavily damaged, he said, while smoke and heat destroyed the rest of the house.
Himel said the fire does not look suspicious.
One Schriever firefighter went to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center to be treated for heat exhaustion, Himel said, though he is recovering.
Doucet could not immediately be reached for comment. A friend, Audrey George, said Doucet was to host some foreign visitors at her house.
The visitors are now staying at a bed and breakfast in Bourg, George said.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Sharp Debate Over HIV Vaccine Failure
Funding HIV Research continued...
Several leading scientists, including Anthony Fauci, MD, head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have offered stark comments recently warning that an AIDS vaccine may never be found.
Hoxie implored the group to face head-on Merck's failure, and the failure of other HIV vaccines before it.
"It comes with the territory. It is part of the process, we have to be willing to accept it, we have to be willing to fund it," he said.
"It is only one step back," said Adel Mahmoud, MD, PhD, a Princeton University professor of microbiology and the meeting's co-chair. "The status quo and finger pointing isn't going to take us anywhere."
Fauci was more enthusiastic: "Everything is on the table to look at." He added that that he was "unambiguous" about the need to shift more funding toward basic scientific discoveries that could lead to new vaccines.
HIV Vaccines: What Comes Next?
But earlier this week several HIV research advocacy groups called for the U.S. government to abandon efforts to develop an HIV vaccine. Homayoon Khanlou, MD, U.S. chief of medicine for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said that the money should instead be spent on increased HIV testing and treatment, which both help cut the risk of HIV transmission.
All the clinical trials that have been done with the vaccine have yielded no results," Khanlou told reporters. "They've left us with no clue in terms of which way to go."
Few researchers seemed willing to consider abandoning vaccine efforts entirely. But several described their field as being a crossroads.
"The idea that we shut everything we have done and get to do something else is absolutely insane," Mahmoud said.
He showed the audience of scientists a slide quoting Winston Churchill's famous speech to a group of British students during World War II. "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never," it read.

Religion Dan Savage: Soldier #75 in the Jewish World-Wide Gay Conspiracy
posted by July 23 at 16:23 PMon
Sorry you wacky Jihadists, but Dan Savage isn't Jewish. So you might want to remove him from your list of Jews running a World-Wide Gay Conspiracy.
Speaking of the WWGC: I can tell you that, having known Savage for 15 years now, he has yet to con me into sucking a cock. In fact, he's never even tried.
Now Charles Mudede, on the other hand…

After a recent series of data breaches targeting both large and medium sized retailers, many companies are investing in technology that will help encrypt credit card data at the point of sale. Although this is a meaningful way to reduce risk, end-point encryption is not the silver bullet solution many retailers are hoping for.
The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) has entered into a partnership with the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) to enhance cybersecurity information sharing and expand retailers' proactive and vigilant approach to cyber threats to protect consumers against criminals.
Retail and financial trade associations have banded together to combat cyber crime in wake of the Target data breach.
Target is investing $5 million in a coalition of cyber-security organizations to launch a marketing campaign to educate the public about phishing scams and security.

LODI – A group of local military veterans is organizing an event where other veterans will have an opportunity to meet with a National Service Officer to discuss claims and benefits.
The Disabled American Veterans George E. Morey Chapter No. 59 will hold the event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 16 at United Congregational Christian Church, 701 South Hutchins Street in Lodi.
An American Veterans National Service Officer will be available to provide information, counseling and claims service to veterans and their dependants regarding education, disability compensation, employment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, pensions and other benefits, all free of charge.
"There are a lot of veterans out there who have questions, but they don't know who to go to," event organizer Marlowe Benner said. "There are benefits they may not know they have, so we're just trying to reach out to anybody who has a question."
For more information, call (209) 466-4605.

Ever Wondered How Rick Perry Gets That Hairdo?
We sure have. Now, documentary evidence!
Yesterday, Slate press critic Jack Shafer tweeted, "Every 61-year-old man wants to know: Where does Rick Perry get his hair done?" Well, Jack, you may jest, but we take questions like that very seriously here at Daily Intel. We dug up this short video of Governor Perry getting a haircut last September from a woman named Dixie, who is "good with the scissors and laughs at his jokes." It offers a tantalizing glance inside the salon where the swoop gets made, without divulging too many trade secrets for those who want to imitate The Rick. The filmmaker very badly wants there to be an easy rapport between Dixie and Perry, who apparently declare their platonic love for each other at the end of each haircut — after all, Sarah Palin's hairdresser is getting her own TLC mini-series — but their conversation seems as if it might flag from time to time ("We have our World War II stories," he says, with a blank look in his eyes). Below, see if you can spot Governor Perry's rarely discussed bald spot.

when is baby old enough to go to the movies with us?
I wouldn't take one to the movies unless they were at least 3 or 4. Here are my reasons:
The loud sounds in the theater can damage YOUR hearing. Imagine how much they can damage the hearing of an infant. I'm not saying that every infant who goes to the movies is going to have their hearing damaged, I am sure there are plenty of people on this board who will say they took their babies at just a couple of weeks and the baby's hearing is fine...but do you want to risk it for 2 hours of movie watching?
If your baby doesn't cry during the whole movie, you're very lucky. Now imagine what happens if the baby DOES cry during the movie. You're disturbing other moviegoers, which isn't fair to them because they paid to see the movie without the disturbance of crying children (and you could potentially be asked to leave if one of them gets up and complains to the ushers, btw - I used to work in a movie theater when I was much younger and we had to do this a lot when parents would bring small children into the theater and the children wouldn't stop crying or misbehaving). If you have to get up and keep leaving the theater because your little one is crying, then you're also disturbing your movie viewing experience as well. Why pay all that money for a ticket if you're just going to have to keep getting up and missing parts of the movie?
If you're looking for some entertainment, try having a movie night in. Get something from Redbox and watch it at home. Go take a walk around the park, go to the zoo, go to a museum. Getting out of the house is very important because otherwise you can go just absolutely stir-crazy, and there's all sorts of stuff you can do with a baby. Good luck!
They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

We took our thre emonth old to a movie. We took the boppy, he laid on my lap, we went to a matine during the day, there was hardly anyone in there, I sat in the back where no one could see me, and put boob in his face if he needed it (we saw stepbrothers) so anytime I would say is a good time, best to go to a movie that is very empty on a slow day.
Lisa happily married to Scott for 15 years, DD 11, DD 9 and precious baby boy born 3-30-11
I wouldn't go, for several reasons. One it's just rude to other moviegoers. Two it's extremely loud in movie theaters. It hurts my ears at times, I'm sure it'd hurt a baby's ears. Three, I'm not going to be able to really enjoy the movie if I'm taking care of baby and if baby starts to cry the only polite thing to do is to leave the theater, which means one of you will miss the movie. Unless you're (general you, not anyone who's posted on here) a jerk and stay in the theater with your crying baby.
The first time either of my older kiddos went to the movies was over the age of 2(and those were only kid friendly movies.)
Redbox or netflix it until baby is a toddler. Or get a babysitter. That's what dh and I did (will be doing) when we want a date night out.

Mom to 3 boys & 1 angel
I would never bring a child, yet alone infant, to a movie with me.... There is nothing more annoying than hearing baby crying, people talking or people eating during the movie....
If you can, just invest in a sitter for few hours and go enjoy the movie without the stress that someone may get annoyed by the sounds your baby will make...
Also - please take into consideration, that most of the people going to the movies are either (1) childless, (2) have grown children and already forgot what it is to be a young parent (3) have young children that were left home with a nanny - none of the people from the above categories will feel sympathetic with you.... but I think the 3rd category of people may actually feel the most annoyed with you since they feel that if they could leave their children with the nanny, so can you
I'm sorry if I sound to harsh... I'm usually very supportive of different questions posted on this board... but this is just my pet peeve.... I've been to a movie where people brought an infant, and it was super annoying trying to listen to them quiet the baby or just them getting up multiple times throughout the movie to take the baby out.... believe me... you won't enjoy the movie, neither will people around you
Happy mom to 5 including my husband.
I went last week with my 6 yr old an 2 wk old to see Rio. He did fine and never cried. Now is a perfect time to go because they sleep through everything.

i would think its too loud..I would ask family members to babysit, i know exactly how you feel, i want to see two movies really bad that just came out and im giong really nuts in this house...:( but i dont want her to get scared by the loud noises...we usually rent and hopefully for my birthday i can get a sitter :)
i would take my LO to the movies.. Just go to a movie that has been out awhile so it's not crowded. If the baby starts crying, pop boob in their mouth and call it day

I personally get upset when people bring babies into the theater. IT is very distracting and inconsiderate, especially not that movies are so expensive. I also think the volume is too loud for an infant's ears. I didn't take my 1st born to the movies until he was 3 and a half and able to sit through the whole movie. I don't plan on taking my 10 day old daughter until she is old enough to sit and watch. That's just my opinion though.

Everyone who has posted a meaning for Staind is an idiot pretty much...even the people who did not bad mouth them...they don't sound like any other band...and if you say they do then you obviously don't really listen to music...Aaron Lewis's lyrics are a lot deeper than most bands...and I don't know any other lead singer that sounds like him...Secondly...Mike Mushok is like one of the best guitarists out there right now...whoever it was who said their tabs are easy...well ur an idiot...I'd like to see you play them...look in megazines...Mushok is always considered one of the top guitar players...their music is unique...doesn't sound like anyone else either...and to people who like staind that have posted on here...well have any of you actually heard any of their other albums besides Break The Cycle and 14 Shades of Grey? Their first two albums (Tormented and Dysfunction) were harder...and I don't really consider them too main stream...yes they are getting to be main stream...but I am not seeing them all over MTV like someone else said...I haven't even seen a video for their last 3 releases...So Far Away was the last video I saw of theirs...If you don't like the music...don't fuck listen to it...and yeah they were around before Godsmack too you moron...Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were both awesome bands...but Staind sounds like neither...anybody who really listens to them knows they are unique and don't really sound like any other bands...
Staind will be releasing their 5th cd in late Fall.

Wrinkles are not the enemy of youth. More insidious is the loss of facial volume that dramatically ages a face. Intensite Volumizing Serum provides intensive repair and volume enhancement for maturing skin. It improves the skin's appearance after the loss of facial volume and helps plump the appearance of trouble zones, especially puppet lines, nasal labial creases and crows feet. A powerful anti-radical defense system shields against pollution and skin stressors.

The prestigious skincare brand RéVive was created in 1997 by Harvard-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Gregory Brown, who relied on emerging biotechnology and rigorous medical research to rejuvenate the skin and delay the aging process. Used by those seeking serious skincare maintenance and repair, the company uses a patented, Nobel Prize-winning ingredient called Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) to increase the skin's natural cell turnover. Easily integrated into any skincare regimen, it's a luxurious way to attain clinical-level results at home.

Sir Percival was one of King Arthur's knights and a member of the Round Table. He has proven himself to be one of Arthur's most loyal knights. Percival is most commonly known for retrieving Excalibur from a clan of mischievious faery creatures, whose only distinguishing characteristics were their brightly colored headwear and small stature. This eventually lead to the present day Anglo-Saxon folklore of garden gnomes.
Percivale is the Grail knight or one of the Grail knights in numerous medieval and modern stories of the Grail quest. Percivale first appears in Chrétien de Troyes's unfinished Percivale or Conte del Graal (c.1190). The incomplete story prompted a series of "continuations," in the third of which (c. 1230), by an author named Manessier, Percivale achieves the Grail. (An analogue to Chrétien's tale is found in the thirteenth-century Welsh romance Peredur.)
Chrétien's story was also the inspiration for one of the greatest romances of the Middle Ages, Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival (c. 1200-1210). As in Chrétien's story, Wolfram's Parzival is initially naive and foolish, having been sheltered from the dangers of the chivalric world by his mother. In both versions Percivale/Parzival is the guest of the wounded Fisher King (called Anfortas by Wolfram but unnamed by Chrétien) at whose castle he witnesses the Grail procession and fails to ask—because he has been advised of the impoliteness of asking too many questions—the significance of what he sees and, in Wolfram's romance, what causes Anfortas's pain. This failure is calamitous because asking the question would have cured the king.
Other medieval versions of the story of Percivale can be found in the French texts known as the Didot-Percivale and Perlesvaus (also called The High Book of the Grail or Le Haut Livre du Graal). Percivale is the central character in the fourteenth-century Middle English romance Sir Percivale of Galles which is apparently based on Chrétien's tale but which omits the Grail motif entirely. Percivale is one of three Grail knights in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, the others being Galahad and Bors. Percivale functions as the narrator of the dramatic monologue which comprises most of Tennyson's Idyll "The Holy Grail." In this idyll, much of what Percivale tells focuses on Galahad as the central Grail knight. Richard Wagner, drawing his inspiration primarily from Wolfram von Eschenbach though greatly simplifying Wolfram's plot, wrote the opera Parsifal in 1882.
As in the medieval stories, Parsifal is presented initially as a fool, but is pure enough to heal the wounded Anfortas and to become himself the keeper of the Grail. Among the twentieth century works to deal with Percivale/Parsifal are the poem "Parsifal" by Arthur Symons, several of Charles Williams's Arthurian poems, Robert Trevelyan's The Birth of Parsival (1905) and The New Parsifal: An Operatic Fable (1914), and the novels Percival and the Presence of God (1978) by Jim Hunter, Parsifal (1988) by Peter Vansittart, and Richard Monaco's tetralogy (containing Parsival [1977], The Grail War [1979], The Final Quest [1980], and Blood and Dreams [1985]). One of the most interesting Arthurian films is Eric Rohmer's Percivale le Gallois (1978), a fairly faithful rendition of Chrétien's Conte del Graal. The story of Percivale is recast in a modern setting in the film The Fisher King (1990)

'More Than They Bargained For' offers clear, fair account of Wisconsin's battle over collective bargaining
"Three weeks ago, we were all one happy family with the Packers," reflected a Wisconsin resident, nostalgically recalling the team's 2011 Super Bowl victory. "And now we're at each other's throats. This is ripping us apart."
There are many such quotes in "More Than They Bargained For," in which Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters Jason Stein and Patrick Marley recount the 16 tumultuous months between Scott Walker's unexpected February 2011 proposal to repeal most public employees' collective bargaining rights and Walker's recall election in June 2012. »Read Full Article(1)

Jeff Chiu, File, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Jobs saw the future and led the world to it. He moved technology from garages to pockets, took entertainment from discs to bytes and turned gadgets into extensions of the people who use them.
Jobs, who founded and ran Apple, told us what we needed before we wanted it.
"To some people, this is like Elvis Presley or John Lennon. It's a change in our times. It's the end of an era," said Scott Robbins, 34, a barber and an Apple fan. "It's like the end of the innovators."
Apple announced his death without giving a specific cause. He died peacefully on Wednesday, according to a statement from family members who were present. He was 56.
"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives," Apple's board said in a statement. "The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."
President Barack Obama said in a statement that Jobs "exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity."
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it," he said.
Jobs had battled cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January — his third since his health problems began — and resigned in August. Jobs became Apple's chairman and handed the CEO job over to his hand-picked successor, Tim Cook.
Outside Apple's Cupertino headquarters, three flags — an American flag, a California state flag and an Apple flag — were flying at half-staff late Wednesday.
"Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor." Cook wrote in an email to Apple's employees. "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
The news Apple fans and shareholders had been dreading came the day after Apple unveiled its latest iPhone, a device that got a lukewarm reception. Perhaps, there would have been more excitement had Jobs been well enough to show it off with his trademark theatrics.
Jobs started Apple with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976, was forced out a decade later and returned in 1997 to rescue the company. During his second stint, it grew into the most valuable technology company in the world with a market value of $351 billion. Almost all that wealth has been created since Jobs' return.
Cultivating Apple's countercultural sensibility and a minimalist design ethic, Jobs rolled out one sensational product after another, even in the face of the late-2000s recession and his own failing health.
He helped change computers from a geeky hobbyist's obsession to a necessity of modern life at work and home, and in the process he upended not just personal technology but the cellphone and music industries.
For transformation of American industry, he has few rivals. He has long been linked to his personal computer-age contemporary, Bill Gates, and has drawn comparisons to other creative geniuses such as Walt Disney. Jobs died as Walt Disney Co.'s largest shareholder, a by-product of his decision to sell computer animation studio Pixar in 2006.
Perhaps most influentially, Jobs in 2001 launched the iPod, which offered "1,000 songs in your pocket." Over the next 10 years, its white earphones and thumb-dial control seemed to become more ubiquitous than the wristwatch.

Summary: Bobbi Morse has been recruited as a researcher for S.H.I.E.L.D. and when her life is threatened by A.I.M. a certain Avenger is assigned the task to protect her.
Author's Note: I decided to write an "origin" story for Bobbi Morse in the movie verse. I'm hoping this will eventually lead to a sequel that will be an origin story for Clint Barton. I hope you all enjoy!
Chapter One: Recruited
"Congratulations, Class of 2008!" announced the president of Georgia Institute of Technology. A few graduation caps flew up into the air as the crowd roared with applause.
Bobbi Morse cheered along with her classmates when someone gently tapped her on the shoulder. She turned to see her favorite biochemistry professor and friend, "Professor Calvin!" she said excitedly.
The two women hugged. "Celebrating with family tonight?" she asked as some confetti shot through the air.
Bobbi gave her a small smile and shook her head, "No, not really."
The professor nodded and admired the diploma in Bobbi's hands instead, "How does it feel to finally have a Ph.D. in biochemistry?"
The young woman's smile grew wider at the acknowledgement of her recent accomplishment, "This baby is going right up on my wall!" she said as they walked up the aisle of the booming stadium and into the open terrace outside.
"Do you know what you're going to do now?" the professor asked as they sat on a nearby bench.
"You know I was thinking..." Bobbi started off happily and then shook her head, "I actually have no idea what the hell I'm going to do," she laughed. She took off her graduation cap and ran a hand through her blonde hair.
"I know what that's like, believe me," Professor Calvin responded as a few men in black suits walked towards them, "The only piece of advice I can give you is to always go where your heart wants to go."
"Easier said than done," Bobbi muttered under her breath before her teacher stood up. She followed suit as the men approached them.
"Barbara Morse?" said the middle man in his mid 30s. He took off his sunglasses and placed them in the inside pocket of his suit jacket.
"Who wants to know?" Bobbi responded and the man smirked.
"Bobbi, this is Agent Phil Coulson," Professor Calvin said as she patted his shoulder, "I called them in to talk to you."
"Talk to me? About what?" Bobbi asked, confusion written across her face.
"A potential job prospect," Coulson said and the man behind him presented her with a file.
Bobbi took it and read the name of the seal out loud, "Strategic Homeland Intervention..."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.," both Professor Calvin and Coulson offered as a substitute.
Bobbi flipped through the pages of the folder. A variety of things popped out at her: Bruce Banner, gamma radiation, World War II, Steve Rogers, super-soldiers. Bobbi closed the folder and matched Coulson's smirk, "I'm listening."

I am currently trying to figure out what is necessary in order to generalize status effects used in the game, but I am having trouble trying to figure out all of the things that go on and keep it concise enough to still be viable to not to just put status effects as burn, freeze, sleep, etc. (as it is right now). Has there been any mention of new status effects that have been thought up of in the community at large? Thanks.

The Cost of Food Safety Technologies in the Meat and Poultry Industries
This paper uses plant-level micro-data from the 2002 Census of Manufactures, Food Safety Inspection Service, and the Economic Research Service in a translog cost function to examine the costs of effort devoted to the performance of sanitation and process control tasks and levels of food safety technology use. Results suggest that more effort devoted to performance of sanitation and process control tasks and greater use of food safety technologies modestly reduce long run costs.

Alex Cross's Trial
Alex Cross's Trial
Little Brown and Company, Hardcover, 9780316070621, 380pp.
Publication Date: August 24, 2009
Separated by time
From his grandmother, Alex Cross has heard the story of his great uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written--a novel called Trial.
Connected by blood
As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.
United by bravery
When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful granddaughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror--but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.
Richard DiLallo is an American author and former executive vice president and executive creative director of DDB Worldwide, a marketing communications network. He is best known for his coauthoring "Alex Cross s Trial" with bestselling author James Patterson. He has also published articles in the magazines "Glamour", "Brides", and "America". He currently resides in Manhattan with his wife.
