The University of Washington Bothell/Cascadia Community College (UWB/CCC) campus provides designated disabled parking stalls at the following locations:
You must display a state issued disability placard in your vehicle, or license plate on your car in order to legally occupy any of the stalls listed above. In addition to a disability placard or license plate, you are required to have a parking permit or pay per visit.
Faculty/staff with temporary or longer-term disabilities must contact the UW Bothell Human Resource Manager at 425.352.5462 to initiate a review for reasonable accommodations when accommodation is not fulfilled through the designated disabled parking stalls identified above. If you have a state disability placard, present it and the accompanying confirmation letter to the UWB Human Resource Manager when making your request. UW Bothell will submit this form to the UW Seattle Disability Services Office for review.
You will be issued a short-term disability-parking permit from the Human Resource Manager while your request for accommodation is being reviewed. Documentation from your health care provider is required as part of your request. Once the review is completed, the Human Resource Manager will contact you with full accommodation information.
Please note that accommodation may not necessarily mean that parking can be provided at a stall closest to your work site, but instead a stall appropriate to the accommodation requirements. In order to serve the public at large and to provide for appropriate parking accommodations for visitors, all faculty, staff, and students who have state-issued placards should request an initial accommodation review so that parking assignments can be reviewed.

The Teaching and Learning Center fosters a culture of critical reflection on teaching, which engages all members of the UW Bothell community in pursuit of our commitment to excellence, innovation and collaboration in teaching and learning. The success of the TLC will be measured by its contribution to transformative teaching and learning at UW Bothell over the short- and long- term.
Since the 1990s, helping faculty use active-learning strategies in the classroom has been one of the priorities of most of the UW's formal teaching training opportunities, such as the Teaching and Learning Center (see above). Active learning strategies help students engage with the material, ask questions and participate in their own learning. They also provide faculty with immediate assessment of how well students are understanding concepts and information in the moment so that faculty can add new examples or further explanation, if needed. In addition, over time, classroom assessment can tell faculty how well students are meeting course-based learning goals.
Course evaluations give students a voice in their own learning experience and give faculty members information about their teaching over time. Used with other sources of information, course evaluations can help faculty members think about how to improve their classes. The UW student ratings system (Instructional Assessment System) provides faculty with a variety of forms to match specific teaching environments. Evaluation summaries present student ratings of the overall quality of the course and the academic challenge of the course in relation to other college courses the students have taken. The UW's course evaluation system is used by more than 60 institutions across the country, as well as at the UW.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on Saturday called for political parties to come to an agreement, but said Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti will remain in office until a deadlock created by last month's elections is resolved.
Napolitano also ruled out resigning — an extreme-case scenario mooted by some analysts that would have paved the way for early elections to end the impasse from polls that left no clear winner.
The president said he was setting up two working groups that will start work tomorrow to set out the most important reforms for any future government.
The first group will focus on political reforms and is made up of four people, including three political figures from the right, center and left wings.
A second group on economic issues will have six members, including the head of Italy's anti-trust agency and Italian European Affairs Minister Enzo Moavero.
Italy's political leaders should have "a greater sense of responsibility," Napolitano said, adding that the parties so far had "distinctly different positions" on the future government.
He also said Monti, a former European commissioner drafted in to drag Italy out of the eurozone debt crisis in 2011, represented "an element of certainty."
Pier Luigi Bersani's center-left coalition, which secured the most votes in the February elections, but failed to win a majority, has ruled out an alliance with former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right grouping, which came a very close second.
Bersani was asked by Napolitano on March 22 to try to form a government, but said on Thursday that his efforts had come to nothing, after he failed to woo rival parties to support his Cabinet.
Berlusconi, the scandal-tainted billionaire tycoon who has been prime minister three times in a 20-year political career, has said a cross-party deal is the only viable solution.
The anti-establishment Five Star Movement party, which came in third, has ruled out support for a political party Cabinet, but has left open the possibility of backing a government made up of non-political figures.
Paolo Becchi, a law professor close to the Five Star Movement, said Napolitano's announcement meant "prolonging the current government."
"We can take our time. This does not mean there will be institutional anarchy as many people said," Becchi said.
Stefano Folli, a columnist for Il Sole 24 Ore daily, said the idea of the working groups was "a framework to find points of agreements" between parties.
"It appeals to a large political group ... It is good because it does not ask too much of the parties," he said.
However, business leaders have warned that bickering politicians have no time to lose as Italy endures a painful recession and severe unemployment.
"Mission Impossible," "Have Pity Please" and "Paralysis," read some of the newspaper headlines for the eurozone's third-largest economy.
Italians fed up with austerity and corruption voted in droves for the Five Star Movement, which is now Italy's single biggest party.
Developments in Italy are being closely watched by European capitals under similar pressure over budget cuts, as well as investors concerned that Italy could plunge back into the turmoil of the eurozone debt crisis.
The financial markets have been relatively muted so far — mainly because of confidence in Monti — but analysts say there needs to be more certainty before markets open tomorrow.

Accounting for Partnership Changes
Presented before the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants and the Michigan Law Institute — December, 1955
In the report of the Senate Committee on Finance on the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, the section relating to partners and partnerships begins with these words, (1) "The existing tax treatment of partners and partnerships is among the most confused in the entire income tax field." I can agree completely with that statement. I wish it were possible to report that the new partnership provisions contained in the 1954 Code had removed all confusion from this area but, unfortunately, such is not the case.
Prior income tax law relating to partnerships grew largely by administrative
rulings and judicial decisions. The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, for the first time, has attempted to provide, by statute, objective
rules which would be, to paraphrase the Senate Committee Report, (2) simple, flexible, and equitable. While the new Code has made substantial
strides toward that goal it is a goal which is very difficult, and perhaps
impossible, of complete achievement. In the meantime we have to work within the framework of the existing statute where it applies and of law established by administrative and judicial precedents where it does not. My remarks today will be limited to a discussion of those provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which have been assigned to me.
My assignment is to discuss the rules relating to distributions by partnerships and transfers of partnership interests. I think that complicated
provisions of tax law are always easier to understand if we can first understand the reasons why they were enacted and the general types of situations they are designed to produce or to prevent. It is not always easy to understand what a Congressman has in his mind when he introduces a new law, but I think there are a few general principles which we can all agree apply to the area of partnership distributions and transfers. Let me state three of them very briefly:
1. It should not be possible to convert ordinary income to capital
gains by means of partnership distributions or transfers.
2. It should not be possible to shift income or categories of income,
such as capital gain, among individuals by changes in the structure of partnerships.

Watch here for the fantastic Leslie Nielsen umpire scene in the Naked Gun. Anyone else experience flashbacks to this scene last night while watching the tentative ref with no vantage point slowly raise his arms in the air to signal touchdown? While he didn't do the moonwalk after that, my guess is that deep down, he was pretty pumped hearing the crowd go nuts.
Odd thing was it seemed to me that he only signaled TD because he thought the ref with the much better vantage point was going to signal touchdown (instead of touchback, which was the right call). In a frenzied atmosphere, I think from a fundamental psychological perspective, the guy had to be thinking "disappoint 70,000 rabid Seahawks fans and possibly get injured by flying projectiles leaving the field, or just give them the TD and listen to the crowd roar…for me". Easy call.
Actually I think I'm giving the guy too much credit here – I honestly think he thought the other guy was just going to signal a TD, so he did too. That they didn't seem to discuss this critical call at length after that was ridiculous – especially considering how important it was in that situation to get the on-field call right before heading to the replay booth.

For some people, coming to the Shelter to view our animals isn't enough, they want to give back to the community and help shelter animals through volunteerism at the Shelter.
Hundreds of Fayetteville residents have volunteered over the years at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter and have helped in making our Shelter such a successful facility by meeting our goals of preventing cruelty to and suffering of all animals, teaching responsible pet care, finding forever homes for our adoptable animals, sheltering and healing animals in need, and reducing pet overpopulation.

When you actively participate as a volunteer, you are part of a solution and you make a difference in the lives of our shelter animals. Opportunities are available for volunteers at the shelter, in the office, and at special events. We need people to walk dogs, socialize cats, and generally spread awareness about what we do and the great animals at the Shelter in need of caring forever homes.
It is easy to become an Animal Shelter volunteer, just download a
Volunteer Application (PDF)

Researchers report that Fluzone High-Dose, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2009 for immunizing people 65 and older against the flu, is also effective in building a higher immune response among HIV-infected people. The University of Pennsylvania study compared the immune response of HIV-infected people who received the standard dose of Fluzone with a group of HIV-infected people who took Fluzone High-Dose, said Pablo Tebas, MD. The Fluzone High-Dose group developed more antibodies to the flu and had an immunization response more like healthy younger adults. Tebas noted that others with compromised immune systems -- people with cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and kidney failure -- might also benefit from Fluzone High-Dose immunization. It was not clear from the results of the study whether people with AIDS (CD4 counts under 200) would receive the same immunization benefit from Fluzone High-Dose.
At present, the FDA has only approved Fluzone High-Dose for use with people 65 and older. It is unlikely that insurance companies would reimburse the use of Fluzone High-Dose with HIV-infected people unless the immunization practices committee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends this additional use. There must be a "compelling reason" for CDC to endorse a use other than that approved by FDA, said CDC's Jean Clare Smith, MD. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) -- not the Fluzone High-Dose maker Sanofi Pasteur -- funded the University of Pennsylvania study. Researchers will request that CDC review the study and recommend the use of Fluzone High-Dose with HIV-infected people.
The full report, "Improved Immunogenicity with High-Dose Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in HIV-Infected Persons: A Single-Center, Parallel, Randomized Trial," was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine (2013; 158(1):19-26).

Summit League Women: South Dakota State Stay Unbeaten, Down Fort Wayne by 11
South Dakota State started the second half of the Summit League schedule the same way they ended every game in the first half - with a win.
The Jackrabbits rode red hot shooting early to a 77-66 win over the Mastodons, running their conference win streak to eight games. The win is SDSU's 22nd in 23 meetings with Fort Wayne.
What a difference a month makes.
When SDSU hosted Fort Wayne in January in Brookings, it was all Mastodons early, as the visitors raced out to a 14-0 lead at Frost Arena, before the Jackrabbits came all the way back to win by 17.
In Fort Wayne Thursday night, it was SDSU out of the gate early, shooting 53 percent in the first 11 minutes, knocking down three 3-pointers, and leading the Mastodons 27-9.
Fort Wayne came into the game as the top scoring team in the Summit League (78 points per game) and number one in the conference in both three-point attempts (194) and makes (74), boasting the top two scorers in the Summit League: Haley Seibert (23 points per game) and Amanda Hyde (22 points per game).
But, the Mastodons struggled shooting the basketball in the first 20 minutes on their home floor, hitting just 20 percent from the floor and missing their first nine 3-pointers before finally connecting from long range more than 13 minutes into the game.
The Jacks stretched the first half lead to as many as 25, the margin at intermission was 22 - SDSU 46 IPFW 24.
In the first half, the Jacks shot 53 percent to just 29 percent for the Mastodons. SDSU dropped in six 3-ponters, IPFW just 3 on 13 attempts.
Mariah Clarin had nine points and seven rebounds to lead the Jacks, Hannah Strop and Clarissa Ober had eight.
Chynna Stevens had six rebounds, as SDSU dominated the boards in the first half 24-12, with six offensive rebounds leading to eight second chance points. The Jacks outscored the Dons 20-6 in the paint in the first 20 minutes.
The SDSU defense kept a lid on the top scoring duo in the Summit League, limiting Seibert and Hyde to nine points on 3-of-9 shooting.
In the second half, Seibert found her scoring touch, pouring in 19 of her 23 points in the final 20 minutes, shooting her team to within 10 with 1:30 left, but the Mastodons would get no closer.
Strop and Stevens led SDSU with 16 points each. Clarin and Megan Waytashek each had nine rebounds, as the Jacks won the battle of the boards by 12 (45-33), outscored IPFW 30-14 in the paint and 17-4 on 2nd chance points.
South Dakota State (17-7/8-0) plays at second place IUPUI Saturday at 2:00pm.

ATVFiles 1.2.0 Released
Long overdue, ATVFiles 1.2.0 has been released. This release fully supports the Apple TV 2.3 update, as well as Apple TV 2.1. Older versions (and Leopard's Front Row) are no longer officially supported.
This update can be found in Software Menu, or can be downloaded here. You can find more details and installation instructions at the ATVFiles page.
What's new in version 1.2.0?
- Support for Apple TV 2.2 and 2.3.
- A more robust implementation of stacking and playlist playback.
- Perian 1.1.2 (or newer) is required for AC3 passthrough on Apple TV 2.2 or newer.
- Drop official support for Apple TV versions older than 2.1.
I'm dropping support for versions previous than Apple TV 2.1 mainly because I can't justify spending the effort to fully test it on those versions. I'm going back to a policy of supporting the current and one previous version of the Apple TV OS. In this instance, I'm not counting Apple TV 2.2 as existing.
As for Leopard support, it should continue to run there, I just haven't tested it at all. It's not a priority for me anymore. Patches to fix it or support old versions will be gladly accepted.
Support and discussion can be found in the ATVFiles forum and the ATVFiles 1.2.0 thread.

Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' Video to Premiere on December 13
Taylor Swift will celebrate her 23rd birthday on Thursday, Dec. 13 in fabulous fashion: by premiering the video for her next single 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' which she has been performing at live events as of late. 'IKYWT' also marks her 23rd music video, so the numbers and the stars are aligning.
T. Swizzle and her millions of loyal disciples can spend her birthday together in cosmic fashion by enjoying the video and its premiere on MTV. Swift and her diehards will be together in spirit, at least.
The clip features Reeve Carney (who plays Peter Parker in the Broadway production of 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark'), as Swift's love interest aka the person she knew was trouble when he walked in, to paraphrase the lyrics to her uber-catchy, slightly dubstep-influenced song.
New shots from the video have surfaced, featuring Swift and Carney being playful and simulating a young couple in love. Swift, usually dressed in fancy dresses, sweaters and flats, looks cute and casual in Converse sneakers and grey skinny jeans while getting a piggyback ride from Carney. They also hold hands and run on railroad tracks.
Ut oh. Swift's BF Harry Styles of One Direction might feel a pang of jealousy, since these photos look so realistic. Swift and Carney could pass for a couple! It has us wondering exactly how this romance blows up in her face in the video.
Tune in to MTV at 4:40PM on Thursday, Dec. 13 to find out.
Also, in other promotional roll out plans for the vid, MTV will post clips of T. Swizz on set discussing the concept for the video on Tuesday, Dec. 11. On Wednesday, Dec. 12, she will count down her Top 5 moments of 2012 via Livestream, which will be followed by a trailer for the video.
To get amped for the video premiere, see what Swift did to her hair as part of the filming of the vid.

Product: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $4-$6, Walgreens, Incoco.com
Colors Shown: "Flaunt" and "Fairy Dust" (French Manicure)
Awhile ago I did a review on the AVON Instant Manicure Nail Strips so you can compare the two or to see how to apply these revolutionary nail strips!
When I went to Walgreens a few days ago (same day I bought the Eco Tools brushes), I saw these Incoco Nail Strips which are very similar to the AVON nail strips. I have seen them around Walgreens for awhile but had tons of bottles of nailpolish and nail strips to get rid of first before I dare to buy one more thing I didn't need! LOL.
Also, many of you said you couldn't find the Eco Tools brushes at your neighborhood Walgreens, you really just gotta drive around and find the ones that are a rare gem, like the store locations in the middle of nowhere because they don't sell out of stock on certain items since hardly anyone goes there, so you are sure to find something all the time. There's a Walgreens on Reseda Blvd. and Devonshire (those of you who live in "The Valley" here in California should be familiar with those streets), and that Walgreens is ALWAYS sold out of stuff because everyone goes to that one. There's another Walgreens on Devonshire and De Soto (Tracy that's the one I go to!) and they have everything FULLY-STOCKED! No one really goes there because it's in the boonies at the end of the city where I live, off to the side and they had an ENTIRE wall of Eco Tools brushes and makeup!
So don't go to a CVS, Walgreens, or K-Mart that's always poppin' with shoppers that are taking your loot, go to the smaller, less-known stores that get the occasional elderly couple picking up their prescription, or the couple buying condoms, LOL, those are the ones where no one is really paying to the cosmetic aisle!
Anyway, on with the review!
What they say: Lasts 14 days, you can re-adjust and re-position the nail strip on your nail.
PROS: Comes in a variety of colors including French Tip and really lasts! I have been wearing it for about 4 or 5 days now, and there is very MINIMAL chipping, it still looks good after all the horrible things I do to my nails. I type constantly, bang my fingers in drawers, bite them, and they still look decent! It was very easy to re-adjust the strip if I made a mistake, unlike the AVON nail strips which were hard to re-position because they would just stick to your nail and rip at the slightest movement so you had to get it right the first time. I also liked how each kit came with a cuticle pusher, nail file, and a nail polish remover which REALLY makes this baby ideal to take with you ANYWHERE. Traveling or a quick nailpolish change or touch-up, since no one really has the time to do their nails with bottled nailpolish then sit there and let it dry only to get knicked or smudged! And what a hassle taking a bottle of nailpolish, a nail file, nailpolish remover, base and top coat all in your purse. With these nail strips, a base coat and top coat is already in the nailstrip with the color, so you can apply nailpolish quickly and easily!
CONS: Not every nail strip caters to each individual's nail bed, they were either too small or too big on me so it would either not cover enough nail, or overlap my cuticle. But it's not too noticeable if it's too small, and can easily be fixed with nailpolish. Not too many stores carry this unfortunately, only Walgreens.
Overall: Definitely a must have in my travel and makeup kit! I love how one kit comes with everything you need for an instant manicure and if you are looking for something that's quick and lasts, you should definitely try these! They have a lot of colors to choose from, it's usually located on those stands by the aisles.
Don't mind my jacked up nails... :)
After 5 days, minimal chipping:

i think i tried a sample of these before.. if it's too big for your nail you are supposed to file the excess off.
i agree with you about how some stores sell out more quickly. also some stores do not carry the same selection :[ unfortunately the one i work at is one with crappy selection because we're missing eco tools, the physician's formula tinted moisturizer, and a ton of skincare products that are offered in the newer stores.

Hey Vanessa! These do look good. I am about to get my LCNs taken off because I don't want to pay $55+ every 2-3 weeks anymore so I might look into these. I hate how regular polish peels and chips off sometimes, especially because I have a bad habit of picking at it if it starts to chip! Also, no smudging or waiting for these to dry! Walgreens here I come :)

Hey Ladies,
Did you know you can go online to www.Incoco.com and order them from there?
I have been getting my mani and pedi done with Incoco for over 4 months now. I have been doing my toes with the same strips that I use for the hands. What I do is measure them to my toes first and cut the size and then use the remaining amount on my hand nails.
They are very cost effective, online its $7.99 for 16 strips that come in a package. They have over 35+ colors and 5+ tip colors to do your nails with. Check it out, its really worth it!

text: As previously posted, in mid-October Los Angeles was recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly Community at the bronze level, for its continued efforts and improvements in bicycle infrastructure, encouragement and education. While LADOT is the lead agency responsible for the implementation of the 2010 Bicycle Plan, the LADOT Bikeways staff recognizes that this accomplishment would not have been possible without the support of the Mayor's Office and work of multiple city agencies, advocacy groups, bicycling clubs and major bicycling events. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to making Los Angeles a more bicycle friendly city and we were glad to be able to celebrate this achievement with individuals and organizations at MacArthur Park including, Councilmember First District Ed P. Reyes, Deputy Mayor for Energy and Environment Romel Pascual,LADOT General Manager Jamie de la Vega, Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Coalition Chair Jay Slater, Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition Planning and Policy Director Eric Bruins, LADOT Senior Bicycle Coordinator Michelle Mowery, and Transportation Engineer Paul Meshkin. LADOT is proud of the goals achieved thus far and we are excited to be moving forward with future projects that will continue to make the City an even friendlier bicycle community.

Many are of a rules-related nature, but don't really count as house rules, either because they're only guidelines or they focus on examining a rule rather than changing it. Others are just opinions or experiences that I felt were worth sharing. In all cases, I hope you find them useful.
1. Yes, Virginia, You CAN Afflict Yourself.
In an attempt to put an end to the confusion about using Affliction to give yourself an advantage, I got to the bottom of how it's really supposed to work. Read why you can zap yourself with your own shrink ray, but why you may not want to.
2. Innate Attacks, Wuxia, and You.
My thoughts on Martial Arts and allowing Innate Attacks in a cinematic wuxia game, along with some guidelines and limits that work well for preventing such things from harming the flavor of the campaign.
3. Just Say No to Mass Combat Systems.
Mass combat systems have their place -- specifically, when the PCs initiate a huge battle with another sizeable force. But not when the PCs are just soldiers in a larger war. Read on to see why the question of "who wins" is a meaningless one -- and why the battle itself should never take center stage.
4. Nipping Problem Allies in the Bud.
While few people actively set out to abuse the Ally advantage, certain designs can prove quite problematic if the GM isn't prepared for it ahead of time. After sparking a discussion about this with several veteran gamers, I've tried to condense the key issues (and solutions) down to a single article.
5. Preserving the Polarity of Weirdness Magnet.
One of my pet peeves is the persistent meme that Weirdness Magnet is hardly a disadvantage. Both players and GMs often seem to treat it like anything from a minor inconvenience to an actual advantage. For those gamers, this part-rant, part-article attempts to present Weirdness Magnet in a new light.
6. Gun! Versus Pistol.
A short article, based on a playtest email, which addresses the utility of Wildcard skills. Some gamers see each Wildcard skill as restricted to a fixed list, instead of as a cinematic "uber-skill." This is especially prevalent with the Gun! skill, which I address specifically here.
The good Dr. Kromm created the Dungeon Fantasy series to show that GURPS can truly handle any genre -- even the classic dungeon crawl. The combination of a new-school system with old-school gaming worked surprisingly well. I'm honored to have contributed to the series officially, and I'd like to continue contributing in this small section of MyGURPS.
Much of the following is now available in a handy PDF format, along with other rulings and additions posted to the forums. Basically, this is the file that I print out for my own games. Each section is labeled with the Dungeon Fantasy book for which it acts as an addendum.
1. Splitting IQ from Per/Will in Dungeon Fantasy.
One of my most popular house rules (above) is the one separating Will and Per from IQ. It's rather self-explanatory, except when you're trying to use premade templates . . . which is what Dungeon Fantasy is all about. So here are some guidelines for tweaking the templates to preserve point balance while fixing the IQ issue.
2. Alchemy (and Alchemists) in Dungeon Fantasy.
Here I expand the rules for alchemy in Dungeon Fantasy, creating a middle road between "NPCs make real elixirs in town" and "PCs use Gizmo for a potion that must be used immediately." In doing so, it makes a new character type possible: The Alchemist (a lens for the Artificer template).
3. New Template: Seventh Son.
You are the seventh son of a seventh son (or daughter -- the "son" part is just tradition), a blessed wanderer, or a peasant adventurer. You don't have the specialized training that any of the other templates have, but you're quick and clever and the fates are definitely watching out for you. This template is good for those looking to play an "underdog" without actually sacrificing survivability.
This template was created by aesir23, not me. I offered suggestions and feedback and made a few tweaks.
4. Splitting IQ from Per/Will in Action.
Okay, this doesn't exactly belong here, but I know that gamers associate the Action line with the Dungeon Fantasy line closely, due to the very similar design and approach of the two. So here is the Action breakdown of how to split Per and Will from IQ for each template.
As my first true series of GURPS books, the Monster Hunters line is something I'm particularly proud of. Hopefully, the following resources and musings will help anyone trying to run their own game of hunters vs. The Enemy. Be sure to also check the GCA Files section of this site (below) for Monster-Hunters-related GDFs.
1. Splitting IQ from Per/Will in Monster Hunters.
As for Dungeon Fantasy and Action (see the section above), this article will be of great help to anyone who uses my house rule about splitting IQ from Will and Per. Here, I break down the necessary changes for all of the primary templates from Champions and Sidekicks.
2. Sample Monster-Hunting Team.
Whether you're a GM looking for some grab-n-go characters for a one-shot, or a gamer trying to decide whether the Monster Hunters series is right for you, these premade monster hunters are just what you're looking for. This five-person team of champions includes character sheets (in both PDF and GCA format), full loadouts, and just enough background and overview for the players to sit down and start using them.
3. Ritual Path Magic FAQ.
An open-ended, flexible system like Ritual Path magic is bound to have some questions come up from time to time. For the most part, these should be decided upon between the player and GM -- but a few questions are either so universally applicable or have come up frequently enough that I've collected them here.
4. Energy Accumulation Auto-Calculator.
Does your caster need to make hundreds of energy accumulation rolls for dozens of different spells? Now you can avoid all of that painful dice rolling! Just enter some basic information and this page will show you the details for each ritual you attempted to cast.
5. Clues and Deductions Worksheet (PDF).
I'm quite proud of the investigation rules introduced in The Mission, as they allow both players and characters a chance to figure out what's going on. However, they do involve many skill rolls, and it can be tricky for the GM to keep track of it all. This worksheet makes the GM's job easier, by providing a single place to keep track of each hunter's deduction roll and current clue bonus, along with all of the clues that are either waiting to be revealed or have already been discovered.

While this website is devoted to GURPS, I'm a fan of countless other games, both from Steve Jackson Games and from other publishers, including several card and board games. This page collects the resources that I've created or collected for various other games, in order of creation date.
1. Nobilis: When Mondays Really CAN Be Out To Get You
By far the largest offering in this section, this is my fan site for the Nobilis RPG. It has resources for players and GMs alike. If you're unfamiliar with Nobilis I strongly recommend perusing the page. I tried to capture as much of the flavor and scope of the game as I could, as this is one of the most amazing RPGs I have ever encountered. It's well worth a look or two.
This fan site is for Nobilis Third Edition (the latest one), but I left my old Second Edition resource page up as well in case you haven't switched over yet. (You should! The new edition is great.)
2. Frag: Improved Record Sheet (PDF)
This is a custom-made record sheet for Steve Jackson Games' Frag® board game. This PDF prints two record sheets to a page and has fields for the attributes as well as other important values. (Update: This record sheet is now available from the Fan-Created Material page on the official Frag site.)
3. Deluxe Illuminati: Goal Cards (PDF)
This is a set of nine cards, one for each Illuminati®, with that Illuminati's goal clearly listed. I created these for two reasons. First, it makes it easier for new players to remember the goals. Second, it makes it much easier and faster for the UFOs to select a goal. (I recommend you print out two sets if you want to get both benefits.)
Note that this set includes a house rule. Weird has always been a very common alignment, and the Y2K expansion made it the most common alignment (by far), forcing us to change Discordia's goal to six Weird groups instead of five. Trust me, it's a good change -- use it.
4. King's Blood: One-Page Solitaire Rules (PDF)
While they were promised in the instruction sheet, the solitaire rules for King's BloodTM took a while to get approved by SNE (the designers and copyright holders of the game.) I've converted those rules into this PDF which conveniently prints on a single page. Keep a copy in your tuck box for those times when you're the only gamer around.
5. SPANC: FAQ and Optional Rules
I've collected the questions and resultant wisdom about SPANCTM into a full-fledged FAQ. This page also includes a few optional rules to help gamers better tweak the way the game works.
6. Cowpoker: Record Sheet (PDF)
CowpokerTM is a pretty straightforward game, but at the end of each round, it can be nice to have a reminder of what bonuses need to be accounted for. This sheet has enough room for four full rounds with provisions for carrying over across multiple sheets, for those late night Cowpoker marathons. (Update: This record sheet can now be downloaded from the official Cowpoker web page.)
7. Lord of the Rings: Friends and Foes Reference (PDF)
Reiner Knizia's cooperative Lord of the Rings board game includes a complete reference guide. But while the Friends and Foes Expansion adds a wonderful level of depth and strategy to the game (which I highly recommend), it can be a bit tricky keeping up on exactly how the Foes work and when you can skip certain scenario boards.
This two-page reference merges the rules from both instruction books. The first page covers turn flow and free actions, while the second has rules for bypassing scenarios and winning/losing the game. It includes the Black Gate rule, an official erratum which fixes how easy it was to achieve a Military Victory. I recommend printing this as one double-sided sheet and keeping it handy during games.
8. Munchkin: Sammlerbox Translation Sheet (PDF)
Munchkin is very popular in Germany. So much so that there are some exclusive goodies that one can only find there (or on amazon.de), such as the Sammlerbox. A wooden box for storing Munchkin cards, it comes with its own special rules and several unique cards... all in German. Fortunately, BIGsheep and T. Dorst posted translations of everything on the forums, which I've edited and formatted into this PDF.
9. My Mutants and Masterminds Games
A collection of information, house rules, and other details for my Mutants and Masterminds (Third Edition) games. Right now it's primarily a few house rules and clarifications, but I expect it to grow as I run more supers games with it.
10. Burn Notice in the Fate Core RPG
Rules for using the Fate Core RPG to run a game based on the TV show Burn Notice. Primarily focused on new skills and stunts, along with ways to keep the show's themes in focus.
11. Resources for The Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine RPG
I don't have a full Chuubo web page, as I've chosen to instead add what I can to the Chuubo wiki. This includes my Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine character sheet and my intentionally vague map of Town.

The IRB have announced that Samoan centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu's appeal against the misconduct charge levied at him will be heard on November 20.
Fuimaono-Sapolu was found guilty of violating the IRB Code of Conduct in October following comments he made on Twitter about Welsh referee Nigel Owens. And as a result, the IRB gave him a six-month suspension from playing - which was suspended over a period of two years - along with three clauses. The Samoan centre was told he had to apologise to Owens, complete 100 hours of community rugby work in Samoa and attend a refereeing course.
The Samoan centre appealed the penalty and will face an appeal committee in London on November 20. The committee will consist of Professor Lorne Crerar (Scotland), Graeme Mew (Canada) and Nicholas Davidson QC (New Zealand).

Youth Participation
Digital Stories | Handbook
As a means to promote the safety, permanency and well-being for all New York State children in out-of-home care, the Commission is working to increase the participation of children in permanency hearings– special court hearings where the health, well-being and future steps for children in out-of-home care are reviewed and determined with the goal of achieving permanency for these children.
Meaningful participation in their hearings will empower children, help New York State comply with recent federal and New York State laws requiring Family Court judges to consult with children in an age-appropriate manner at all permanency hearings, and ultimately produce better fact-finding that will lead to better decisions and better outcomes for children and their families.
Digital Stories
To ensure the youth voice – the youth perspective – is heard and included in discussions on engaging children and youth in their court proceedings, the Commission working the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, the New York State Court Improvement Project and Youth in Progress, developed digital stories in web-based and DVD formats.
The Tools for Engaging Children in Their Court Proceedings handbook highlights the developmental stages of school-age children (ages 5 to 20 years), provides a series of age-appropriate questions and tips on how to engage children in their court proceedings.

The great classic summer dish of New England, steamed lobster, is found in all the best restaurants as well as in little summer lobster and clam shacks near the ocean. It is usually served with baked potatoes and corn on the cob. We enjoy it often during the summer at restaurants as well as at home.
I've created a recipe for steamed lobster that's easier for guests to eat. I remove the lobster from the shell after steaming the lobster and serve it with a buttery herb sauce and fingerling potatoes that I remember well from my boyhood as "quenelles." (They're so named because they have the same shape as a Lyon specialty, pike dumplings, which are called "quenelles." They are also called "rattes," after the name for a mouse with a similar shape.) I grow these potatoes in my garden. They're dense and firm, and they never seem to fall apart when cooked. I serve them boiled with this dish, but they are also great sauteed in butter and oil in a skillet, as my mother used to prepare them right out of the garden, served with an escarole salad loaded with garlic and mustard.
This is an ambitious menu but well worth the effort, especially since much of it can be prepared ahead. I have even steamed the lobsters the night before and kept the meat tightly packed in plastic wrap. The lobster shells are transformed into a rich bisque that also can be made the day before, except for a few last-minute additions.–Jacques Pépin
LC Boy Or Girl? Note
We try not to be partial or sexist in most matters, although we do have respect for what Jacques Pépin has to say about boy versus girl lobsters. Behold, the advice of an expert: "Try to get female lobsters, as they have delicious roe and are usually more tender. Use lobsters weighing 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds, and serve one per every two guests. To tell a male from a female lobster, turn them over. [Editor's Note: No bashfulness here!] Female lobsters are slightly wider where the tail meets the body, and the last two little appendages are smaller than on the bodies of the males. A fishmonger can show you the difference. If possible, use hard-shell lobsters, which have more meat than soft-shell lobsters." There you have it.
Steamed Lobster with Herb Sauce and Lobster Bisque
- Quick Glance
- 6 servings
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the steamed lobster
- 3 lobsters, about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds each, preferably hard-shelled
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
- For the lobster bisque
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup each coarsely chopped onion, leek, and celery
- 4 or 5 garlic cloves, crushed with skin on
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup tomato juice (or Bloody Mary mix)
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon (or large sprig tarragon)
- Good dash each salt and cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cognac
- For the herb sauce
- 2 cups reserved lobster broth
- 1 teaspoon potato starch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon each chopped flat-leaf parsley, chives, and tarragon leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Asian garlic-chili paste (if available)
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- For the corn
- 6 ears corn (one per person)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Dash salt and pepper
- Steam the lobsters
- 1. Place the lobsters in a nonreactive pan, like stainless steel, and add 4 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. It is important to realize that it may take a while, maybe as long as 10 to 15 minutes, for the liquid to come to a boil. If the lobsters are turning red at this point, move them around a little in the pan to get the ones on top into the hot liquid underneath. Boil gently for 1 or 2 minutes, and then remove them from the heat and let cool in the liquid, covered, for about 30 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid for the herb sauce and the remaining liquid for the bisque.
- 2. To shell the lobsters, first remove the two claws and the tail from each. A great deal of liquid (about 1 1/2 cups) will come out; reserve this for the bisque. Press on the shell of the tail to crack it, and remove the meat from the shell. The meat should be barely cooked. Split the tail in half lengthwise and remove the vein or intestinal tract.
- 3. Cover the claws with a kitchen towel and break them with a heavy object—a can, meat pounder, or skillet. (Placing a towel on top keeps the juices from splattering all over.) When the claws are cracked, try to remove the meat in one piece. Remove and discard the piece of cartilage that is inside each claw. The knobby articulation or joint that connects the claw to the body contains the finest meat in the lobster. Crack or cut this area with scissors and remove the meat.
- 4. In a gratin dish lined with plastic wrap, arrange the meat in per-portion groupings, with half a tail, 1 claw, and some of the pieces from the articulation placed tightly together in one layer in the dish. Cover tightly with the wrap and refrigerate, if preparing the day before.
- 5. When ready to reheat the lobster, melt the butter and pour it over the lobster meat in the gratin dish. Cover again tightly with plastic wrap, so the lobster pieces are soaked in butter. Warm in a very low (130°F to 160°F / 54°C to 71°C) oven. The lobster should reheat slowly so it can be served warm and remain very tender. If reheated in hot liquid or in too hot an oven, the meat tends to seize and toughen, so it is important to reheat it slowly and in butter, which will be used to make the herb butter sauce at serving time.
- Make the lobster bisque
- 6. Discard all the shells except the lobster bodies, where all the appendages are attached. Cut the bodies into four or five pieces each, and place them in one layer in a large saucepan with the olive oil. Cook for 7 or 8 minutes, until the moisture has evaporated and the bodies start to brown. There will be a wonderful aroma from the browning.
- 7. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes for the pieces to brown properly, and then add the chopped onion, leek, celery, and garlic cloves. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. To that, add the white wine, tomato juice or Bloody Mary mix (which gives some zip to the sauce), the reserved juice (about 1 1/2 cups) from shelling the cooked lobsters, and what is left of the cooking broth from the lobsters (beyond the 2 cups already reserved for the herb sauce). Add the herbes de Provence, tarragon, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and cook gently, partially covered, for 30 to 40 minutes.
- 8. Strain in a colander, pressing on the solids with a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the lobster shells, and strain the mixture again through a double-mesh strainer, so it is very smooth. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. When ready to serve, add the heavy cream and Cognac, bring to a boil, and taste for salt and pepper.
- Make the herb sauce
- 9. Reduce the reserved lobster broth to 1 cup, to intensify the taste. Thicken it with the 1 teaspoon of potato starch dissolved in the 1 tablespoon of water. This can be done ahead.
- 10. When ready to serve, add the chopped parsley, chives, and tarragon to the sauce. Pour the butter used for reheating the lobster into the sauce, and return the lobster to the warm oven. Bring the sauce to a boil; the butter will be emulsified with the liquid and create a smooth, creamy, and delicate sauce. Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If available, add the Asian garlic-chile paste. It gives a special accent to the sauce.
- Prepare the fingerling potatoes
- 11. Peel the potatoes and cook them in salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size. Drain at serving time and place them back on the stove for 20 or 30 seconds, so the heat will absorb whatever moisture remains.
- Prepare the corn
- 12. Cut the kernels off the cob; a good ear of corn will yield about 1 cup of kernels. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the corn kernels and salt and pepper, and cook over high heat, partially covered, for 3 to 4 minutes, until a crust begins to form in the bottom of the pan from the release of sugar from the corn mixing with the oil. This gives it a wonderful aroma and that delightful taste of roasted corn.
- 13. Spoon the corn into the center of six hot dinner plates, place the lobster meat on top, and spoon on some of the sauce. Arrange the potatoes around the corn. Serve the bisque in small cups next to the lobster as an accompaniment.
