Sarah Palin in a Miniskirt —
McCain announced his decision yesterday (Friday) that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be his running mate, and already the photoshopped pics of Palin are
starting to circulate
. Actually, this picture of Palin in a miniskirt seems to predate Friday's announcement, but now that she's on the ticket with McCain it's begun to appear
. It definitely is photoshopped -- a case of head transplantation. The real picture of Palin, from which her head was lifted, seems to be the one…

Fosh Automotive —
The website of
Fosh Automotive
appeared a few weeks ago, promising that the company was soon going to unveil an unlimited mileage electric car that would sell for under $25,000. A lot of people were skeptical. Fast forward to a few days ago, when Fosh unveiled something, but it wasn't an electric car. Instead, it was a bizarre anti-Obama, anti-abortion diatribe. Turns out the whole "electric car" thing was a bait-and-switch to lure eco-liberals to their site and then hit them with…

It didn't take long for the secret service to show up and haul him in for questioning. Arboleda pleaded innocence, insisting he was referring to character assassination (by the media), not…

Outdoors notebook: Rainbow trout stocked into Lake Spokane
About 155,000 catchable-size rainbow trout are being stocked into Lake Spokane in the first season of a 10-year agreement between the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Avista Utilities.
Lake Spokane, sometimes called Long Lake, is the Spokane River reservoir west of Spokane, created by Avista's Long Lake Dam.
While the reservoir is popular among anglers fishing for bass, crappie and perch, trout fishing will improve with the annual stocking of rainbows, each about 8 inches long and expected to grow quickly.
The stocking already has begun with trout from the state's Spokane Fish Hatchery and Trout Lodge, Inc., in Soap Lake. The fish are sterile so they cannot reproduce with native fish in the river system.
They are marked with clipped adipose fins for ease of monitoring harvest through creel surveys that will begin in 2016.
WDFW district fish biologist Randy Osborne and Avista Environmental Specialist Tim Vore thank members of the Spokane Fly Fishers and Inland Empire Fly Fishing clubs for volunteering time to the trout stocking program.
"Avista has long been providing public fishing and boating opportunities, but this is an excellent new opportunity to fish and enjoy Lake Spokane," Vore said.
Randy Osborne, the state's district fish biologist, said anglers can expect the trout to be down in the cooler water of the reservoir this summer and therefore more conducive to boat fishing.
But this fall and next spring, when the stocked trout are bigger, casting near the surface, off docks or public shorelines will also be productive.
Mica Bay boat park reopens on CdA
The Mica Bay Boater Park on Lake Coeur d'Alene re-opened for the summer boating season, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said Tuesday.
The site had been closed to visitors since April while crews removed hazardous trees.
Root disease had affected the Douglas fir and Western larch bordering the site.
Mica Bay Boater Park is a popular day-use area that is accessible by boat on the west shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene. It is also accessible by foot for groups or individuals looking for a secluded picnic spot or quiet place to pitch their tent.

Compare Forex brokers and trading sites with the tightest AUD/USD spreads:
The Australian dollar (AUD) is the official currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is also known as the Aussie, and this nickname includes both the AUD/USD and Australian dollar cross pairs.
The Australian dollar is the fifth most traded currency globally while AUD/USD is the fourth most traded currency pair according to the 2010 survey by the Bank for International Settlements.
Australia is the world's second largest producer of gold after China and amongst the top six producers of copper. The country's exports are dominated by commodities and metals in particular. For this reason, the Australian dollar has traditionally been considered a commodity play, moving in the same direction as commodity and metal prices.
Australia emerged relatively unscathed from the Global Financial Crisis and offers some of the highest interest rates in the developed world. This had made it a popular choice for carry trades against lower interest rate currencies such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc or US dollar. Interest rate differentials between Australia and other countries and the carry trades they nurture are one of the forces driving the Aussie.
In a carry trade, you sell the low interest rate currency, buy the high interest rate currency and make a profit from the interest rate differential.
To open on a carry trade, all you need to do is buy the AUD/USD currency pair. If the Australian dollar offers a 4.75% interest rate and the US dollar costs 0.25% overnight, you would instantly earn the 4.50% spread. This return assumes no leverage at all. You could increase the return on your investment by leveraging up.
If the Australian dollar were to appreciate, your return would increase further through lower US dollar interest payments over the term of the trade and capital appreciation when you close the trader.
However, carry trades can be brittle and returns volatile if currencies move against you. A fall in interest rates in the higher rate country or the prospect of a weakening currency can spark a reverse chain reaction, prompting investors to unwind their positions in successive waves. If the fall in the value of the currency is large enough, the capital loss could wipe out earlier returns.
GDP is one of the most important indicators, and an unexpected reading can have a sharp effect on the movement of AUD/USD. GDP recorded a rare decline in Q3, missing the estimate of 0.2%. The markets are expecting a strong gain of 0.7% in the Q4 ... More »
AUD remained strong against USD during the last 7 weeks and played well. Now it seems to be developing price consolidation, a sign of seller gradually taking over buyer forming rising wedge of 60% degree (angle of inclination). Before that 40 degree ... More »

Bad Loans Rise Fast at Banks & Thrifts
Banks and thrifts posted $19.3 billion in earnings for the first quarter, down 46% from a year ago, as rising levels of troubled real estate loans forced the depositories to set aside $18.5 billion for expected loan losses, the largest loan-loss reserve increase in 20 years.
Despite the set-aside, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said non-current loans (89 days or more past due) are increasing faster than reserves.
"This is a worrisome trend," FDIC chairman Sheila Bair said. "It's the kind of thing that gives regulators heartburn."
FDIC-insured institutions charged off $19.6 billion in the first quarter, up from $16.4 billion in the previous quarter.
Meanwhile, non-current loans rose by $26 billion in the first quarter to $136 billion and nearly 90% of the increase involved real estate loans, mostly residential mortgages and construction and development loans. Nearly 5% of C&D loans are 89 days or more past due, while 2.5% of first residential mortgages and 1.5% of home-equity lines of credit are non-current. "FDIC examiners will be vigilantly monitoring developments in credit quality and loan-loss reserve levels throughout 2008," Ms. Bair told the Senate Banking Committee last week.
Despite a weak housing market, one-to-four family loan originations by commercial banks and savings banks rose 14% in the first quarter, while federally chartered thrifts experienced a decline in loan production. Single-family loan originations by banks totaled $288 billion in the first quarter, up from $253.1 billion in the fourth quarter.
OTS-regulated thrifts originated $115.2 billion in one-to-four family mortgages in the first quarter, down 20% from the fourth quarter and down 23% from the first quarter of 2007. The Office of Thrift Supervision reported that refinancings comprised 50% of thrift originations and adjustable-rate mortgages made up 10% of loan volume. The 831 federally chartered thrifts posted a $617 million loss for the first quarter, after setting aside $7.6 billion in loss-loan reserves. (c) 2008 Mortgage Servicing News and SourceMedia, Inc.

In recent years, California retailers and product manufacturers have been inundated with consumer class action lawsuits. Because the question of whether a given product's label and related representations are false or misleading is often fact-intensive, many cases survive a challenge at the pleading stage. As a result, some companies have opted for early settlement rather than risk lengthy (and expensive) litigation. However, the California Court of Appeals recently issued a decision that may provide defendants with another argument for dismissal at the pleading stage.
In Simpson v. Kroger[1], plaintiff alleged that the defendant's butter was mislabeled because it included canola oil and/or olive oil among its ingredients, and therefore was not "butter." Plaintiff asserted claims for unfair competition in violation of California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 ("UCL"), false advertising in violation of California Business and Professions Code Section 17500 ("FAL"), and violation of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act ("CLRA"). The trial court dismissed the case, and the California Court of Appeal affirmed.
On appeal, plaintiff offered two arguments: (1) defendant's "spreadable butter" products — which contained canola and/or olive oil — were falsely marketed and mislabeled as "butter," in violation of federal and state law; and (2) defendant was liable under state and federal law because the oils in defendant's spreadable butter were not identified with requisite prominence on the labels. According to plaintiff, the over-prominence and conspicuousness of the word "butter" on the label was misleading because it would lead consumers to believe that defendant's product was actually standard butter.
The appellate court rejected both contentions.
First, addressing preemption, the appellate court affirmed that the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act preempts plaintiff's claims that defendant's spreadable butter was misleadingly labeled under California's Milk and Milk Products Act. The court also held, however, that plaintiff's mislabeling claims under the California Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law were not preempted by federal law.
Second, the appellate court held that, notwithstanding the preemption analysis, plaintiff's UCL, FAL, and CLRA claims still failed. The Court of Appeal held that (a) a plaintiff must establish that consumers were likely to be deceived by the product; (b) in certain circumstances, a court can say, as a matter of law, that "contrary to the complaint's allegations, members of the public were not likely to be deceived or misled by… packaging materials; "[2] and (c) that "plaintiff has not, and as a matter of law cannot, allege that a reasonable consumer would have been mislead by the labels here."[3]
More specifically:
The labels on the products here clearly informed any reasonable consumer that the products contain both butter and canola or olive oil. This was plain on both the top and side panels of the tubs in which the products are sold. No reasonable person could purchase these products believing that they had purchased a product containing only butter.[4]

While Simpson does not foreclose plaintiffs from bringing false advertising claims, the potential for dismissing UCL, FAL, and CLRA claims at the pleading stage has been enhanced and is indeed a positive development for consumer class action defendants. It remains to be seen how often, and in what circumstances, other courts are willing to follow Simpson.

A brief political satire, broadcast on the television channel ARD - more-or-less equivalent to BBC1 - has brought public threats from Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Separately, two regional prime ministers have issued a joint appeal arguing for the channel's abolition.
A leading current affairs programme ended with a two-minute sketch in which Mr Kohl telephones his "old sauna friend" Boris Yeltsin. The Chancellor asks President Yeltsin to make life easier for him: "Public opinion here in Germany thinks I should tell you it's not OK - you know, all the killing and the human rights. Must there be so many bodies lying about?" At the end, Helmut asks Boris "not to be cross" about an official press release which will pretend they had a tough talk. Mr Yeltsin sends greetings to Mr Kohl's wife, Hannelore, before muttering to himself, as he hangs up: "What a fool!"
The Monitor programme satire was mild by the standards of, say, Spitting Image. But Mr Kohl was having none of it. He talked of "loss of journalistic quality", and a "low point in tastelessness", in a programme lacking "any sense of decency and dignity".
Most remarkably of all, he used the sketch as a stick with which to beat ARD. In an open letter to the regionally based channel's head, he declared: "One asks how far the continued existence of the ARD can be justified." In the circumstances, it would bedifficult to explain "to the citizen who is forced to pay licence fees for the existence of the ARD" why he should do so.
Mr Kohl's comments reflect an unhappiness in high places with German public broadcasting. The new "private broadcasters" - financed by advertising and with programmes concentrating on entertainment - have become increasingly important in recent years.
Kurt Biedenkopf, prime minister of the east German state of Saxony, and Edmund Stoiber, prime minister of Bavaria, suggested at the weekend that ARD should be abolished in its present form - to reduce bureaucracy and overspending. The Social Democrats, however, have not been alone in suggesting a government desire to bring ARD under closer political control - "Chancellor's television", in one critic's phrase - may also play an important role.

Well, there's been a significant development. Yoplait Greek Blueberry, one of Pillsbury's sister brands, has just bested Chobani® Greek Blueberry Fruit on the Bottom in a national taste test.* This is huge.
In a game of clever marketing marksmanship, the team behind Yoplait Greek opened a pop-up storefront near Chobani's retail outlet in New York's trendy Soho district. They celebrated their taste-test victory and gave out free samples in hopes of converting even more fans to Team Yoplait. Go them!
What's your favorite way to use Greek blueberry yogurt?
*In a national, double-blind taste test with more than 300 consumers, nearly 2 out of 3 said Yoplait Greek blueberry yogurt tastes better than Chobani blueberry fruit on the bottom yogurt.

Telescoping Pruner
Lightweight, long reach
For the close-to-hand pruning, I have my trusty Felco. For branches further than I can reach with a lopper, I use a big, unwieldy pole pruner with a pull-rope to muscle the clipper. It's overkill for smaller out of reach plants but for decades it was all I knew. Then I discovered the telescoping long arm pruner: easy to extend and collapse, lightweight, and it holds the clipping until you release the trigger, enabling efficient stashing of clippings in a lawn bag. This model, made in Japan, features two pistol grips for two-armed aiming, which most other telescoping pruners don't have. And its telescoping capability unlocks quickly with a lever instead of having to tighten and untighten a collar. This is now one of my favorite tools on a daily basis, considering all the huffing and puffing I used to do to clear ivy or deadhead roses high up on the fence.08/27/04

Your cell phone comes along with free voicemail and you may not give it much of a consideration. Not surprisingly, it's the same as your own answering machine at home. Individuals simply call then leave a message, then you hear it when you have free time. It's simple enough to utilize therefore a lot of people do not think of modernizing their particular Tmobile Voicemail. However, you will find a far better approach to obtain and check voicemails. You could want to look into a provider that could supply you with far more for your personal voicemail.
When somebody calls your own voicemail, they receive the same greeting each and every time. Regardless of who calls, the voicemail greetings are going to be precisely the same. Nonetheless, by using a voicemail provider you'll be able to adjust this greeting to be unique to the individual who is calling. When they leave a voicemail, your own voicemail service can address them by name and also find out if they might prefer to leave a voice message for you. It's also possible to have the ability to have the voicemail suggest some other means to get hold of you, for example through e mail. This can help people get a hold of you quicker.
There are many services a voicemail provider is going to supply also. With a few, you can go through the voicemails as opposed to needing to play all of them. This really is fantastic in the event that you are unable to hear to chat over the phone but you actually have the opportunity to read on your cell phone, like if you are someplace with a lot of sounds. With this provider, you are able to decide to reply to the person by giving them a call, texting all of them, as well as emailing all of them. This will make it easier to contact any person you have to answer as soon as possible. It's also possible to be able to utilize a call blocker which enables you to stop each and every call coming from a particular telephone number. In this way, you don't need to receive telephone calls from any individual you don't desire to speak with.
Though your present voicemail could be free and uncomplicated to utilize, you'll be able to find a voicemail service plan that will do much more to suit your needs. Take time to explore exactly what they provide and you will probably discover precisely how much you're able to do together with your voicemail from your mobile phone, tablet or perhaps laptop or computer.

Currently, the history is shared among all Web Console instances due to the fact that the actual history object is in a singleton array object in JSTerm.prototype. The *index* into the history, however, is unique to each console, which strikes me as potentially confusing.
This issue is making it difficult to split up the tests (bug 581069) because reinitializing the Web Console doesn't actually clear the history.
(In reply to comment #0)
> This issue is making it difficult to split up the tests (bug 581069) because
> reinitializing the Web Console doesn't actually clear the history.
The tests are split up now, so that is not an issue any more. as far as the shared history is concerned, I kind of like it as I tend to enter similar commands in the next console as the previous - its kind of like having bash_history. In which case is this still a bug? I don't think so. Ideas?
It's a matter of preference, actually. I wouldn't always like shared history. I expect Up to always give me back the last command I inputted in the given console - not from the other tab.
I think it's kind of confusing too. The console is very tab-specific right now. Having a shared command history across all consoles seems wrong to me. I don't think it's going to be very often that you'll want to run the same commands against different sites (though it might be useful if histories were associated to location or compartment).
as far as I can tell, this is fixed both for GCLI and the traditional JS command line
But this line still occurs in 7 tests, and I just had to add it to a new one:
jsterm.history.splice(0, jsterm.history.length); // workaround for bug 592552
It seems like the functionality is as desired, but the tests are still undesirably crufty. Maybe this line of code should just appear in tearDown() in head.js rather than at the end of each test that needs it. (The same might apply to the clearOutput() call that seems to be in many tests.)

Karen Donston's grocery cart often looks as if she's prepping for a national disaster. She might have 70 cans of Chef Boyardee pasta, or six dozen boxes of cereal (this load takes two carts), or bag upon bag of frozen vegetables. Good thing the Winnipeg mother of two is not bothered by the odd stare. The last laugh is hers: She has mastered a math game that turns those cereal boxes - and the $200 she spent on them - into a $600 flight to Kingston for a family visit, or, if she waits for the next run on frozen fries, perhaps a Caribbean cruise, all paid for with points from her Air Miles card.
Ms. Donston, a 42-year-old ad rep with a fistful of loyalty cards, is what Air Miles calls an "avid" collector, who diligently and strategically tallies the points. She knows that newly renovated grocery stores offer bonus points for a limited time, so she'll drive across the city to snag them, or to get gas at point-friendly service stations. "People only think I am crazy until they want to do it themselves," she says.
Canadians are among the most point-crazy people on the planet. We love handing over those plastic loyalty cards when we fly or pump gas, in order to rack up a points account that we can use to buy a blender or a trip to Vegas.
According to a 2009 study, the average Canadian household uses nine different loyalty programs - 50 per cent more than their American neighbours.
"There is a certain Canadian mania," says Lindsay Meredith, a marketing professor at Simon Fraser University. "I think it's the same genes that drive our British Columbian response to search out a litre of gas for exactly .2 of a cent less than the guy down the street."
The recession has fuelled our fetish: Last fall, one-fifth of Canadians surveyed said they were using their reward points to stretch their budgets, and companies such as Aeroplan saw more people cashing them in for Christmas gifts as opposed to fancy trips. The fastest-growing group of collectors are those between the age of 18 and 25, a demographic hit hard by the slow economy.
This trend certainly makes companies happy - loyalty programs make for loyal customers, who sometimes don't bother redeeming the points that lure them into the store, are less likely to comparison-shop, and whose choices can be easily tracked and charted every time they pull out their card.
But the appetite for points also has some governments and marketers thinking: If Canadians are willing to cross town for a handful of loyalty points, what else might we do for them? All those Air Miles points might have a value beyond vacation cruises and kitchen appliances - they might help build a greener, healthier nation.
Far beyond travel
This is Karen Shiller's list: a trip to New York this month with her 16-year-old daughter, a family flight to London booked for this fall, a Bose CD player, rain barrels and one kayak (hand-delivered to her home). These are the items she has recently "purchased" with her Aeroplan miles, which she collects by using her credit card for everything she buys, even small errands at the convenience store.
She used to stick to the travel rewards, but during the recession, Ms. Shiller, a former lawyer and English teacher at Ottawa's Algonquin College, and her partner, a real-estate developer, began using some of their 500,000-plus miles to get items they would have felt guilty about purchasing with cash.
"It became a way to give ourselves a little treat," she says. "It's like spending money, but it doesn't feel that way."
The country's fondness for loyalty programs may be, as Prof. Meredith suggests, at least partly in our genes; Canadians have traditionally been savers, an immigrant nation of bargain hunters averse to debt and big on nest eggs - although as credit-card spending escalates, those habits are quickly changing. Perhaps it dates to 1961, when Canadian Tire money - dubbed the nation's "second currency" - was introduced; roughly 90 per cent of those bills still find their way back to the store.Report Typo/Error

Longitudinal studies in medicine are faced with new analysis challenges due to continually advancing measurement and database technologies. Specifically, innovations in molecular assays, medical imaging, and psychological assessment have generated numerous new putative markers of disease progression. Also, advances in electronic data recording now allow longitudinal investigations to collect observational data measuring changes in outcomes and changes in treatments where dynamic treatment covariates are driven by current clinical guidelines, by unfolding patient health characteristics, or other factors. The overall goals of this proposal are to develop statistical methodology and software tools for analyzing modern longitudinal biomedical data. The specific areas of emphasis are: 1. Repeated measures and time-dependent accuracy. Biomarkers are measurements that characterize specific aspects of patient health status.
This aim will develop semi-parametric and non-parametric statistical methods to estimate the ability of prognostic scores or markers to accurately predict event times as characterized by time-dependent measures of sensitivity and specificity. 2. Observational longitudinal data and time-dependent exposure. Longitudinal studies now routinely collect both patient health information and changing covariate (treatment, exposure) data.
This aim will develop statistical methods that can be used to estimate causal effects of exposure, and to evaluate the ability of marker values to guide the choice or timing of treatment.
In this proposal, we will develop new statistical methods for the analysis of longitudinal data. In particular, we will develop methods that can evaluate the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity of a biomarker for the prediction of future event times such as disease onset or death. In addition, we will evaluate and develop methods for the analysis of observational longitudinal data commonly recorded in electronic medical records where both measures of health status and measures of treatment change over time. We will focus research on estimation of the causal effect of treatments that are modified over time, and on the estimation of the ability of biomarkers to be used to guide the choice of which subjects are likely to obtain the largest benefit from specific treatment options.

I am kind of disappointed. This is the second time in a row that one of my orders has been delayed. I am hoping it was not because of the miniature in this order?
I am not sure why when I make orders for miniatures and such that they always get added to the side cart. I don't plan on it that way. Is there a check box I am missing somewhere? When I make an order I want it immediately. Not with a subscription shipment :(
Is there something holding this Order 3458672 up?
Pathfinder Adventure Path, Roleplaying Game Subscriber
I have an order in the side cart AND a pending order that I wanted when I ordered it. Now I am seeing I do not even have subscription orders being shipped this month??
Order # 3456177 (One of which is the Xorn Miniature that I wanted (needed) for this weekend!!) Now I have to wait yet again for this to come and now I don't even truly need it unless I run the adventure again in a year or so :( I thought that placing this order on Mar 2nd would be MORE then enough time to get the miniature to me by this weekend. Apparently I was wrong. Though I can't for the life of me figure out why it is not here??? I have the money and such paid for!!
The Pending order I wanted when I placed it as well. :(

Can Mr Selinker or Mr Wertz care to do a video walk through playing "On the Horizon" for us "newer" players to Skull and Shackles. The ship seems to cause a lot of confusion especially the rules about anchored/docked and moving and commanding the ship. Also how does a "player" acquire more ships too. Playing through using the "On the Horizon" scenario I think would be a good one to do because it is a difficult one and it shows the complexity of Skulls and Shackles off quite well. :) It will also show off Guild play too well. :) And what to do at the end as far as rewards and "upgrading" the deck.
Would you mind?
Thank you either way!! :)

Katina, It still shows the "Ants" on backorder. (For Order 3318773 ) I do not want ANYTHING to slow the order down and would rather pull the ants out for now and wait on them, then when they arrive ship the "Ants" then, and ship the rest of the order without the ants? Also is there any break I can get on shipping or something or even expedited service for the length of time I was waiting on the "pending" order of the Ants, Tentacles and Amiri?
(expedited as in shipping as quickly as possible like "Thursday? :D)
Thanks for anything you can do!! :)
Pathfinder Adventure Path, Roleplaying Game Subscriber
I was hoping to take "one" of the items from Order 3123288 in my cart and then combine it with a pending order in my cart Order 3304558
The item I want out of the 3123288 order is "Pathfinder Battles—Shattered Star: Amiri, Human Barbarian" and then combine it with the 3304558 order so they ship together.
Leaving the back order Ants and Tentacles to stew until they arrive once again at Paizo. Even though the 3123288 order has been pending for months.
Hope this makes sense and I also hope it does not slow the order down any?
Thank you!!

if they are not able to handle the situation or you have an issue with one of them... then speak to Mike Brock.
By coming here and speaking out to us is a good way to rant but it can also be a catalyst to a lot of issues in your area and can honestly hurt peoples feelings that you are speaking about. While no names were mentioned. It seems like it was pretty obvious who it was by a few postings. Being he was a new GM too... might mean he will not GM again because of your post and that would be a shame. I am not saying you are doing anything wrong but there are better ways.
I would hate to see a new GM stop GMing and or even stop playing because he/she is to ashamed to do so again from lack of confidence. The coordinator or local VC can mollify the situation immediately and hopefully with good results for all concerned :)
Again I am not accusing you of doing anything wrong. Just some advice going in to the future is all :)
Good Luck sir.

Welcome to the ranks sir!! You are a character from what I have seen on the Adventurer's League boards and it was good to meet you online there too. Now knowing you are a 5 star here in Pathfinder Society too.. makes it frosting on the cake!!

I have personally reached the "no more rulebooks" stage with Pathfinder. Unchained will probably be my last. I have enough rules to last a long time. I will still continue buying the APs that look interesting but I do wonder if, between 5e and people feeling like they have enough Pathfinder rules, a downturn is inevitable.
To early to tell but I doubt that 5E will affect Pathfinder or Paizo all that much at the moment. I will still continue to support Pathfinder personally as will my wife.
I am mildly interested in 5E but not so much I am going to rush out and buy every single thing that they put out. I was bit hard by 4E and because of that and how WotC handles their customer service... I am very hesitant on buying in to them once again. I also think I am not the only one that is thinking this way. I have spoken to many people I know and they feel the same way. They are not buying in to it fully. So the fan base I personally think is still a bit fractured and if WotC truly wants to try and heal that fracture, I do not think that at the moment 5E is the answer for it. At least not for the foreseeable future.

It is way to difficult to compare TSR to Paizo of today. The Market is completely different. The marketing in general is a different model as Dragonchess Player mentions and it is just a different age and distribution system. So your comparisons in the OP is just to over the top in my opinion. Not to mention I do not buy the whole TSR business expenditures completely. I would love to see the research that he is coming up with other then a hear say testimony by yourself.
I knew people from TSR and even WotC back in the days... I think you are just more then a little off base.

I am thinking they will come back in to production. 5 days to go and 76K is not to bad. With the last minute push a lot of Kickstarters tend to get, makes me very hopeful :)
Hehehe. (To everyone) So please please support this. It is well worth it. You might have seen them at Gen Con. I think you will like them a lot.
Besides you probably know someone that has already supported it so you do not want to be left out when they got something cool and you don't. Imagine going to a con with these all done up and predrawn and NOT have to worry about your mats getting stained because the marker was left on to long.
Think about it and then go and support it! :)

For those that do not know what Tact-Tiles are.. they are awesome!! They are a modular Wet and dry erase gaming surface... sort of like a Chessex map meets Paizo Flip-Mat married in to a puzzle like surface surface that is awesome to say the least. When the company went out of business awhile ago (This is NOT the same company) The Tact-Tiles sold for a small fortune on Ebay and still do, that is IF you could find them even.
Now they are coming back better then ever and by a new company.
I know there have been many many people on these forums that have wanted to see these come back in to existence.. It is in it's first day of the Kickstarter.. so lets back it up!!! :)
Go to TACT-TILES Kickstater page..

Brell I can understand being a bit bitter... but being vindictive is not always a good thing either. I have bought cases of each of the Pathfinder Miniatures and I agree that while not all have been painted to my satisfaction, I am not worried that they will not show well on the table when I am using them.. yes I even got one of the bad Feiya miniatures and have had people STILL want her too as one of their figures and or to use her on the table.
I am not saying don't be upset or even telling you what to do at all. But being vindictive is never usually the answer at all. Either way I wish you luck sir!

The fact that you call it a "Money Grabbing Scheme" is the problem I have. No company that produces product and then uses it in their game and furthers their own product through it to me is not a scheme.. nor money grabbing. I know you are ok with Paizo promoting their own product and such. But you have to realize it is basic marketing practice when a company does produce their products they are going to do their best to promote their product and try and get you as a consumer to use them as much as possible.
Mike Brock put it succinctly though in that they are trying to get it so that the GM does not have to use 3 different rules systems for the same thing. Speaking as one of those GM's I am grateful for that as I do personally do not want to use 3 different systems where 1 will suffice. So having to make sure the person using a harrowing deck actually has one made by Paizo.. I do not have a problem with it.
So I do not see this as a a company "sinking" to a level but as a marketing practice like any other company. But also as a rules consolidation for which I am grateful. Any company that does this though is not sinking to a level. A company that you have a "need" of their product and actually can not live without and then forces you to pay more and more for said product is scamming you. But a company that gives you a choice to use their products and you whether you choose to do so or not is your choice but not a scam. Just an FYI... I know a rather long winded one. Sorry :)

A big thanks to Cooper for taking the time out of his busy racing and school schedule to answer our questions. We wish him and the WeatherTech Racing team the best of luck for the rest of the season.
Matt: When you first heard about the ALMS and Grand Am merger, what were your initial thoughts?
CM: When I first heard about the merger, I was not happy. I knew that it would go one of two ways: either it would be the next best thing to happen to American SportsCar racing OR it would be a disaster. Unfortunately it has been the latter. With the BoP being way out of whack, the horrific call at Daytona that cost the true winners their well deserved podium celebration, and the atrocious call at Sebring that cost me and my team our second win in a row, you could say I am FAR from pleased. I understand growing pains, but those are for newborns. Our officials have combined decades of experience, yet they issue calls as if this is their first time—unacceptable. If I had it my way, I would be racing WEC or ELMS however my school schedule does not allow that, so I am stuck with Tudor, for now. I know things will continue to get better because I can't see how they could be any worse.
Matt: During the Sebring 12 Hours, WeatherTech president, Allan Thom, made some interesting comments about Pirelli World Challenge "looking interesting" after the blown penalty call. Could a World Challenge entry become a reality, or was it just frustration?
CM: We will explore ALL of our options and PWC is absolutely one of them.
Matt: What have been the biggest adjustments from the GTC Porsche to the GT America?
CM: The largest adjustment going from the 997 to the 991 has to be the way it handles differently. The 991 handles more like a proper mid engine car and not like the engine is hanging off the rear axle! The new 991 Porsche is a lot of fun to drive. The paddle shifters are cool and the car makes a lot of great sounds- gearbox sounds, engine sounds, etc. They all put a large grin on my face! The car is also a lot less taxing on the driver so longer stints are now somewhat easier.
Matt: You've already had a very successful racing career (multiple GTC championships, Sebring class wins for example), what goals are you still trying to obtain?
CM: Thank you. Being 21 and having wins and championships is quite special however, I want to win the big one. The 24 Hours of Le Mans. My first time racing there was last year and it was an absolutely amazing experience, there is nothing else like it in the world. One day I will stand on the top step of that podium.
Matt: What has been your favorite moment in your career so far?
CM: Clinching my first championship with one race to go in the schedule was a pretty special feeling. It was my first year in ALMS and Leh Keen and I had 7 or 8 podiums and a bunch of wins. That was truly a special year.
Matt: What sparked your interesting in racing and what/who keeps you inspired to keep racing?
CM: My Father raced for 20 years. He raced mostly SCCA but also finished on the 2nd step of the podium at Sebring in 1999. Without him and his support my career would have been extremely difficult. I am grateful that I have a dad that is passionate about the same things I am, so much that he will write a large check to support me! Thanks dad.
Matt: When you're away from the track, what do you do to relax?
CM: When I am away from the track I am supposed to be working on my school work, which I do most of the time! Of course, when I am done with all of my homework, then I relax! I like to hike, mountain bike, dirt bike, camp, ski, and shoot. Basically any sport that puts me in the mountains relaxes me.
Matt: Favorite track and why?
CM: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal is my favorite track, but Road America (home track) and Laguna Seca fall shortly thereafter. I have had some of the best sprint racing in my career at the famed track in Montreal, specifically in Ferrari Challenge and IMSA Cup.
Matt: Who is your best friend in the paddock?
CM: My best friend in the paddock is my codriver Leh Keen. Sure, I am friends or at least acquaintances with everyone in the paddock, but my co driver is who I spend the most time with and we get along so well.
Matt: You're behind the wheel of any race car from any era, what is it and why?
CM: 1974 Porsche RSR on the Circuit De La Sarthe. Just like the one I will drive at Classic Le Mans this year 🙂
