When the rebooted, alternate universe Star Trek movie took simply Star Trek as its title, it broke the mold of titling the films Star Trek: Something Related to the Plot. It appears that the second film is following this colon-free trend, as TrekMovie is reporting that the new film's title is Star Trek Into Darkness.
TrekMovie says that it has confirmed the title with multiple sources, and ComingSoon noted that Paramount has registered the domain names startrekintodarkness.com and startrekintodarknessmovie.com. Paramount hasn't officially announced the title (nor confirmed it), but the creative team is reportedly working on a way to release the film's title visually.
I'm hoping that the title refers to some specific element of the plot rather than a generic darkening of the film's tone. Could the Enterprise crew find themselves headed toward literal darkness? Or is this the promise of a Joseph Conrad send-up where we'll meet Starfleet's version of Kurtz? The horror...the horrror.

Conversion Pack Help
Hello all. I followed the instructions/other forum posts to install the conversion Pack and the v1.3 patch. The maps still don't show up, though the instant action interface changed with the "original swbf2 map" box in the corner and space for an extra Era by the clone wars and civil war boxes. I'm on windows 10 btw. Thank you

Hey guys I have to create a program that computes the mean, standard deviation, and finds the max and min of a group of numbers read in from a file. I'm having trouble storing the objects from the file in an array and then reading it to compute the mean. Here's what I have so far:
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Assignment5 { public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException { Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("nerd.txt")); double[] data = new double[1000]; double mean = 0; double sum = 0; double n = 0; while (input.hasNextDouble()){ double element = input.nextDouble(); data[element]++; n++; } for(int x = 0; x < data.length; x++){ sum = sum + data[x] * x; } mean = (double)sum / n; System.out.println("The mean is " + mean); } }
I don't really understand arrays. But basically I have to: Use an array to store the numbers being read. Keep a count each time a number is read (this will be N).
I just really don't know how to store the numbers from the file :/. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hey Graham,
Is it possible to add in cost per 1000 instead of using the interest rate to calculate loan cost?
I have a customer who wants to calculate based on this option instead.

Bhanu said:
Please see: http://www.suvidhanidhi.com/testing-calc/
Here I have added two calculators. In both, period is in month and interest rate is also monthly.
The difference is, In first I have used "simple interest", While in second I have used "amortization".
You see, in second case, calculations for interest, amount due and repayment are not showing correct.
Further, I don't see any option to change "slider label" for each calculator. In settings, if I change slider label it changes for both calculator.
Bhanu said:
HI Graham,
I have upgraded now. I have now got how to use different calculator on different using shortcodes. But I still have few issues. Each calculator takes basic settings from main setting age. I want different option for each calculator. For example:
1. I need different Slider Label for each calculator. But it takes same label from global setting.
2. I am facing problem with amortization. Amortization does't seem to be working for a period less than 1 year. I have requirement to give loan for 6 months, 9 months etc. But when I put it in setting it doesn't give correct result in amortizaton type interest. Simple interest works fine.
3. Is there any shortcode for interest slider? I need different interest rate slider range for different calculator.
Thanks for help.

I'm interested in purchase the pro version of the Loan Calculator Plugin for the development of a web of loan credits that I'm doing.
But first I need to ask you a question to see if it may be possible to do what I try.
It's about being able to establish several tabs (with WPBakery for example), in which I will insert a loan calculator with different maximum limits. That is, in the first credit tab the limit will be 300 €, in the second of 400 € and in the third of 500 €.
I also wanted to consult you if I can establish a term section of 10, 15, 20 and 30 days, since when I put steps from 5 to 5, the return of 25 days does not interest me.
Tell me if this is possible to be able to purchase the plugin!
Thank you!
Richie said:
Hi, can it be used without an interest rate of zero or just no interest charged at all? thx
Daniel said:
Hmm… I been studied the plugin a bit better. I like to have your "norweigan version" (layout) except anything about age, but with the same sliders like on the repayment calculator + checkboxes for:
– No credit reports
– Non-interest
– Weekend Payout
– Accepting record of non-payments
But in Swedish… (not norwegian)
How much for such solution?
Can we connect by email instead?
Daniel said:
Oh wait… hold on. I noticed you got a "Swedish" version of the plugin. I'm from Sweden and my site is for the Swedish market. However, it's a bit misleading since the images is of the "Swedish" plugin is actually in Norwegian. However, I like those customization's. Could I easily translate this text to Swedish? I this version better than the original layout. It seems to fit me better… Is the pricing the same or similar to the current plugin I bought?
Daniel said:
That is EXACTLY what I thought the plugin I bought was like. My mistake… So, I can't just swap license? So, if else. How can I buy it and how much?
Daniel said:
Hello, I just bought the premium version…. I think I misunderstood how it worked like. I seen a different site (a competitor) with a similar "calculator", or actually filters. He is like me an affiliate, so the calculator is acting like a search filter. I.e. if the sliders is set to 200 USD and 6 months, he got affiliate banners (with descriptions he been writing), so when then the loan companies that are offering loans of lets say 1000 – 25000 USD get visible only if the calculator is set to that. If not the others disapear. He also got search boxes where filters like "without credit report" or similar. How could I accomplish that? I been setting up your plugin, and I'm very satisfied with the "look and feel", could I extend the functionality, or accomplish this somehow?
Jim said:
Hi Graham,
It seems the inline styling I was using to hide the unused 2 charts was disabling them somehow to have applied a display none via jquery which works. Ty for your reply!
Jim said:
Just a quick query regarding multiple short codes on one page:
I have used [qis], [qis primary=8.9] and [qis primary=14.9].
They all display ok, but only the first slider works.
What do I need to do to get the other two sliders to slide?
Many thanks!
Romain said:
Your link is the same as the previous answer, and their is no file to download. I gess it's a mistake.
Romain said:
Hi Graham !
Thank's for that nice plug-in, worked perfectly from a couple of months !
I just have a probleme since the last update. When I try to "save changes", it looks like it's working but in reality, nothing change and the text in the "repayment terms" and "total below slider" is the same as before. Plus, I can't uncheck this two field.
Good news, at the top of the setting page it says :
> Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/1/…….. /clickandbuilds/…… /wp-content/plugins/quick-interest-slider/settings.php on line 188
Bad news, I'm absolutly not a dev and I don't know what it means. Do you have any ideas ? I check on the script "setting.php" here's what i founded on line 188 :
188. if (isset($_POST['usebubble'])) {
Reset the settings > I tried, it does'nt worked
Delete and download again the plug in > I tried, it does'nt worked
Check line 188 of the Settings.php > I tried, but did not understand it
Asking for help > Here i am !
Thank's for reading it !
Tony said:
is it possible to connect your plugin with API key to IS?
Is it possible to add button of "I want the loan" which will be connected with calculator and contact form?
Is it possible to add additional fields with table on the side of the calculator? Such as https://www.silverside.sk/rozumna-pozicka/
Thanks a lot
Jason said:
Hi Graham,
Great work on the calculator. A few questions:
1. How can I add more form fields to the application form?
2. The copy message field that's suppose to send the borrower an email with their application is not working for me during testing – is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?
3. When will the "full application" be released?

I am working to build a website where a customer can compare all banks deposit rate and loan rate.
they can input the desired amount and term then they can see which bank is providing what interest rate and amount for different terms like 3Months, 6Months or 12Months. In terms of Loan they can input desired amount and term then they can see the interest rate and interst amount for each bank separately for differnt terms like 5yeaars 10years 20years. please note each bank have separate rate for separate terms.
Can you please give me suggetions how i can use your plugin for above mentioned works. i have installed free version in wordpress. please give me suggestions.
Imran Uddin said:
Hi Graham,
Thanks for the help on the header.
Just have another question, how do I use 2 different formula's say simple and fixed?
This is a calcuator I created – https://www.thelenderslist.co.uk/__trashed/
As you can see one calculates a 30 days loan but the other I need to calculate based over 12 months but there are no short codes to change this.
Any help would be great
Imran Uddin said:
Thanks for the reply, just one more question how do we change the heading for each different calculator we make? I can't seem to find the short code for this.
Imran said:
Just bought the plugin, just wanted to know how we put in formula's and calculations manually instead of the ones on the plugin
Imran Uddin said:
Thanks for your help manage to make different sliders for different pages, but how do I change the formula for each page? for example I have about 12 partners all with different APR's so the calculation and results will be different if you could let me know would be great
Also do you have rough costs of how much you charge for making full comparison tables
Imran said:
How do I use a different slider for individual pages?
For example not ever loan lender uses the same formula so I need a different slider on each loan lenders page
joseph said:
Good day what is short code to calculate output option for weekly compounding interest of 15% weekly and on display total amount? i cant figure it out
Leo said:
Hi! I need tho show some information in the Repayment Terms, something like this:
"You get [shortcode to show the total amount asked] and you pay [shortcode for total period asked, like 12 months] of [shortcode for the monthly payment]
"You get [$10000] and you pay [12 months] of [$ 1000]"
Am I clear?
Mario said:
Awesome, THANK YOU!!! 🙂
Mario said:
Hello, i purchase your plugin. But how can I see the monthly payments.
I would like 1000$ for 1 year, total 1040$. And then I would like see the monthly payments with 86,66$.
Afiq said:
can u develop 1 for me? and how much will u charged?
afiq said:
hi.. is there any function to add slider for the interest rate
Emory Peterson said:
I need a shortcode to add the amount being borrowed (whatever the slider is on), IE if the slider is at 10,000, something like [amount borrowed] would display 10,000 etc.
I just purchased the premium version and it would certainly help.
first nationdrives said:
hello Just upgraded your plugin
the closest thing I found to what Im trying to accomplish now as this
im also cant seem to be able to put the form on my site as a shortcode .. I get errors
Matt said:
Love it! Just bought the Pro Version. I would like to display multiple term options below the Result :
Payments = $234 / month
other options:
2 years = x / month
3 years = x / month
4 years = x / month
5 years = x / month
(and show these results in the email autoresponder too)
Is it possible?
Johan said:
The primary= shortcode does not appear to have any effect. I have tried variations like primary=5, primary="5″, primary='5′, primary=5%, primary="5%" etc. etc. nothing works.
The multiplier= does appear to be working now.
Here is an example of the calculation I am trying to achieve but I just cant get it to work using your shortcodes only, and not the global settings.
Month 1 – Borrow $200 @ 0.5% x 30 days = a $30 Charge. Total to Pay Back $230
Month 2 – Borrow $200 @ 0.5% x 60 days = a $60 Charge. Total to Pay Back $260
Month 3 – Borrow $200 @ 0.5% x 90 days = a $90 Charge. Total to Pay Back $290 ($96.67 per month x 3 months)
Johan said:
multiplier=12 and primary= do not seem to have any change or effect. Only the global rules are applied.
Johan said:
Hi, Don't need to change the processing fee or anything, I just need to be able to set the divider with the shortcode instead of globally.
Johan said:
Is there a shortcode to set the divider?
I have 2 sliders:
1. http://lgmicro.webtestsite.co.za/ which calculates correctly now.
2. http://lgmicro.webtestsite.co.za/3-month-flexi-loan/ which does not because it uses the global divider setting. I need to get it to add a $15 charge to every month instead of showing the daily charges)
Azeem said:
This is a great plugin. But I just encountered a slight problem. I updated the plugin as it asked me to do so and am using WP 4.8. After updating the plugin the plugin is not showing any values when you move the pointers on the bars.
I am using;
Your monthly repayment is: [amount] and
Total you will Pay: [total]
It is not displaying any values… Please help!
Alex said:
Hi there, great plugin! is there any way to add markers on the slider showing the step amount values? Thanks in advance
Banks said:
Please can you also send the updated version to email@example.com
This is a GREAT PLUGIN

How to display the output amount with the decimal. For exampe: you pay $85.45 instead of just $85.
Herbert said:
Merry Christmas for you good work .
thanks for the suggestion I wanted to us the period of 12months and repayment to be monthly.
I use the divider it was not calculating the right monthly repayment plan.
all I would like to express is
The total money borrowed and the monthly repayment to be in a single line. just like : http://www.zedvance.com.
I love your job. I hope it will bring good wealth to you regarding the upgrade.
Thanks once again .Merry Christmas

Absolutely! It might take some hardwork to build up your supply again and depending on the reasons for stopping, you might need some professional help from a lactation consultant or a ABA counsellor.
But the answer is YES!!!
Let's Go >>
Can you stop nursing for a few days and then start again?
There are a number of different complications that could lead a mom to rethink her decision to stop nursing, but is it possible to switch back? Moms, weigh in.
Absolutely! It might take some hardwork to build up your supply again and depending on the reasons for stopping, you might need some professional help from a lactation consultant or a ABA counsellor.
You can but it would take time and patience and possibly some herbal supliments. There is a great book called Making More Milk and The La leche League has a great book too that can answer all your questions.
I wouldn't recommend it. I had to stop because my son was hospitalized with the upshot being diagnosed with a secondary lactose intolerance (temporary issue) and having to take formula for about 5 days. It was hideously hard trying to keep up the supply while still trying to get on with the taking care of he and his sister. I guess if you are away on vacation and can still pump a little each day and don't have other things you need to get on with.
As the others have said it is not impossible just a lot of work. Also, one thing I have heard time and again - if you have a good to abundant supply it is always easier to reinstate it whereas if your supply is an issue to begin with it is probably not a good idea to rock the boat as it is much harder to restart from a disadvantaged place. Even with taking supplements or medicine you probably needed a good supply to start with.
you should never stop nursing a child because he will get grumpy and no one wants a grumpy baby
Depending on your body it is possible to stop nursing and then go back into it
I stopped after a week an I want to start again can I its been a month
I am a mother of 2 and I was told i could i went 4 days with out nursing or pumping and when i went back to it my milk was gone and the baby didnt like the nipple anymore because the bottle was easiier for her to use. i would say not to stop but every womans body is different so this may not happen to you
Yes absolutely! It takes months for your supply to 'dry up' completely. Lots of frequent feeds are the best way to build up your supply again.
How old is the baby, are you able to pump, is this your first child? It is possible but I wouldn't recommend it unless you were pumping to keep up production. Even if other people are able to stop cold turkey for a few days and then start back up, you don't know their BF history and it might not be the same for you. Stopping abruptly could cause a drop in production that could be difficult to get back or not come back at all, and it could cause engorgement, plugged ducts, or infection like mastitis.
I wouldn't recommend it without exploring other options first or with out more information.
The lactation consultant I know says you can stop for about three weeks and pick it up again. She doesn't recommend more than that.
Once my flow was well-established I haven't had any problem with stopping & restarting. (I'm actually at a point where I'd be happy to stop nursing, but the supply is always still there even if I go away for a few days.)
I had some difficulties getting the flow up initially. I wouldn't have dared to take a day off in those first few weeks. Some women who have a more abundant flow naturally might be able to.
I have gone away a few times, with both of my children. I've been gone for up to 4 days and had no problem at all with supply upon returning. In fact, it was a major relief to nurse the few times that my pump did not work and I became engorged.
I do it all the time, due to the fact I make too much milk which causes frequent engorgment and painful feeding.

A minute crustacean invades the red swamp crayfish
The small ostracod Ankylocythere sinuosa measures no more than half a millimetre in length and lives on other crayfish. And, Spanish scientists have discovered it for the first time in Europe. The finding suggests that it arrived along with the invader crayfish Procambarus clarkii some 30 years ago but it is still unknown whether it can invade other crustacean species or whether it benefits or damages the expansion of the already established red swamp crayfish.
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) originates from the USA and Mexico and has been present in the Iberian Peninsula since the 1970's. Its expansion is currently on the up. However, its 'invasion' is coupled with that of another species: the ostracod Ankylocythere sinuosa, which is also from North America and totally relies on the crayfish to survive. It has now been discovered in Europe but could have come at the same time as its host 30 years ago.
Published in the 'Hydrobiologia' journal, the study aimed to verify how the Ankylocythere sinuosa arrived on the European Continent. According to researchers, although it has taken more than three decades to discover, "it is certain that it arrived with Procambarus clarkii".
"Ankylocythere sinuosa is common and abundant wherever there is the red swamp crayfish in Europe", as explained to SINC by Francesc Mesquita Joanes, lead author of the study and researcher at the Department of Microbiology and Ecology of the University of Valencia.
This minute epibiont crustacean lives on top of its host meaning it cannot live without the crayfish. It lays its eggs on the crayfish and clings on while it develops. The majority of crayfish are infected and "adult specimens can have up to many hundreds of ostracods on them," reveals Mesquita.
Hundreds of tiny crabs on the back of a crayfish
Between 2003 and 2009, the team of researchers took 203 red swamp crayfish from 12 different regions of the Iberian Peninsula from Doñana in the southwest to Catalonia in the northeast. In total, 147 of them had ostracods, which were present in practically all sampled regions.
"We have to remember that these epibionts can spread to other native species."
Through comparison with the crayfish living on the USA, the scientists have also discovered that Procambarus clarkii travelled with just this small crustacean on its back. The biologist outlines that "the crayfish did not transport all the possible epibionts present in its place of origin. Although P. clarkii could be infected with other epibiont ostracods in North America, it only brought with it one species to Europe."
The scarce diversity of these crustaceans could help its greater expansion in invaded areas. "We have to remember that these epibionts could spread to other native species," warns Mesquita-Joanes, outlining that it is necessary to study if the ostracod have any sort of effect on Aphanomyces, the plague of crayfish that is causing the extinction of native species.
An invasion for better or for worse
But, what does the presence of Ankylocythere sinuosa in crayfish mean?. The scientists are still unsure. For now, "they seem to basically be just guests and do neither good nor bad to the crayfish. But this is debatable," says the expert to SINC.
For the researcher, the ostracods could do good if they 'clean' parasites or organic material in contaminated areas or they could do harm if they feed off any part of the crayfish or the eggs of the female.
Awaiting new studies that confirm the effects of this relationship, the authors suggest that the ostracod could also spread to other invading or native crayfish, but the results are not very specific and there could be still unknown effects.

The vulnerability and threats faced by forest rangers everyday are given due acknowledgment on World Ranger Day, held annually on July 31. For the first time, World Ranger Day was observed in Thailand at Pang Sida National Park that is one of the five constituents of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai UNESCO World Heritage Site. Chaired by Thailand's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment; the event was held by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), the Freeland Foundation, and IUCN.
World Ranger Day is celebrated around the globe each year on 31 July to commemorate the dedication and sacrifice of rangers who put their lives at risk every day to protect the world's natural resources and wildlife in the face of alarming threats. More than 1000 rangers have died worldwide, and many have been injured in the course of their duties over the past 10 years. This year alone at least 83 rangers have been killed.
In Thailand, there are 20,490 rangers working in 411 protected areas. Since 2009, up to 40 park rangers have been murdered, 26 injured, and 23 left in a critical condition. Many of the rangers are exposed to danger on a daily basis through dealing with aspects such as armed poachers and illegal loggers. The work of park rangers, especially in the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, is even harder than other protected areas at present, as it is under heavy pressure from illegal logging of Siamese Rosewood. This makes their job all the more difficult as they are generally undertrained and poorly equipped.
World Ranger Day was observed for the first time this year in Thailand at Pang Sida National Park, one of the five constituents of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai UNESCO World Heritage. The ceremony, chaired by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, was held by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), the Freeland Foundation, and IUCN.
"Forest Protection is a life saving act' is a royal quoted saying of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, who has been considered the Patron of Thai Rangers of Protected Areas. IIn the 1960s, IUCN assisted the Royal Thai Government to set up the Protected Area System for the country, and Khao Yai was established as the first National Park in Thailand. In 2005, IUCN as an advisory body of the World Heritage Committee, assisted in inscribing Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex as a World Heritage site due to its richness in natural treasures and biodiversity. Now the World Heritage Site has been under severe and increasing threats, mostly from human activities, some of which are transnational boundary crimes. Rangers should be physically, economically, socially and spiritually supported by concerned parties to protect these national treasures as undamaged gifts for the next generation", says Dr Chamniern Vorratnchaiphan, IUCN Thailand Country Representative.
More than 500 people including park rangers, students, citizens and state officers gathered at the site to pay tribute to the work that rangers perform and to remember those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Exhibitions on National Parks, endangered wildlife and plants, poaching and illegal logging practices were shown at the event. Honorary awards were given to rangers who have been injured as well as to families of rangers who have died in service.
"World Ranger Day should be a day of celebration but the more we think about it, it is a day of mourning. We mourn the rangers killed and wounded on duty. We mourn the lack of support, salaries, training and resources given to the rangers who put their lives on the line whilst saving our natural resources. We mourn the lack of public awareness and acknowledgement of the rangers' responsibilities, duties, tasks and sacrifices in adverse conditions. I appeal to the world governments and the international community to support in full our dedicated protectors of biodiversity", says Mr Mark Bowman, Director of Field Operations, Freeland Foundation.
The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment acknowledged Mr Bowman's appeal and pledged to provide more support to rangers. According to his statement, a welfare fund has been implemented and other support will also be provided to rangers and their families, such as a group insurance scheme and a compensation programme.
"Our park rangers risk their lives every day to protect our extensive forest land with an area of more than 73 million Rai (116,800 Sq km). But the budget we have to support this work is only 13.87 Baht per Rai which is incredibly low considering the tough tasks they do, particularly in the face of increasing illegal logging of Siamese Rosewood. Thus to support these dedicated rangers, the Department has implemented a welfare fund for park rangers who are hired on either a temporary or permanent basis. We will do as much as we can to assist them", says Mr Vichet Kasemthongsri, Natural Resources and Environment Minister of Thailand.

A set of four linked adventures for the world of Hellfrost. The first two scenarios are directly linked, in that the first concerns travelling to the location of the second, but the other two are linked only by a shared master villain, and set in different parts of the world - they could easily be run with a substantial gap between them. All four adventures are tied to their setting, although some more so than others, and would be difficult (although not impossible) to translate to some other game world. In particular, of course, cold is a major theme throughout.
The first adventure is quite standard fare, although well written and bringing out the atmosphere of the setting. The second concerns a siege, with the players on the defending - and apparently doomed - side. It's a good example of how to do this sort of story, something not often seen in RPG scenarios, where the PCs are more likely to be attacking somewhere from the outside. There's a nice sense of doom and battle against insurmountable odds that should make the scenario memorable.
The third adventure begins as essentially a direct re-tread of the <i>HeroQuest</i> adventure module "Orlanth is Dead", so that, should you happen to have run that you won't want to do this with the same group. Having said that, while the mystery to be solved is all but identical (and highly distinctive) the explanation for what's going on and how to solve it are entirely different.
The final scenario is basically a high level dungeon bash, fighting against the eponymous giants. For some reason, the maps here are not up to the standard of those earlier in the book, although they're perfectly functional.
All in all, a good set of scenarios, if not truly outstanding, and very useful for somebody wanting to use the Hellfrost setting and bring out some of its key elements.
This is clearly meant to be a comedy, but basically it just ends up being plain silly. The encounters themselves are competently enough done, if not over-burdened with logic and supplied with very basic maps, but the overall tone of the thing is off-putting and not half as funny as it thinks it is. On the bright side, it's not as rude/puerile as the title implies, either.
To be fair, I can't honestly recall how, or indeed why, I got hold of this (I seem to have had it on my hard drive for a few years... was it given away at a discount with something else?). Although it's quite a long adventure, it is not, to my mind, worth the price tag.
A 44-page adventure in an oriental (Chinese) setting, this uses the Arcana Evolved rules, but can be adapted to other systems with a little work, especially if they are a d20 variant like Pathfinder or D&D. Having said that, the unusual setting is the heart of the book, and, while it could be changed to somewhere else that isn't even oriental, you'd be losing a lot by doing so. In particular, it's worth noting that the races of the NPCs are unique to AE, and that the city it's set in is sufficiently odd that it may not fit in many campaign worlds at all.
Still, if you are using it as is, or are prepared to put in the work to adapt it, it's an excellent scenario and one that's far from run-of-the-mill. It is heavily based on role-playing, and, while there is some relatively straightforward action near the climax, it won't appeal to groups that just want fights and treasure. The plot is largely based around re-enacting a myth to keep the city safe, with various bits of skulduggery in the background, and a large chunk of it concerns wooing potential suitors with courtly skills.
I'll give it 5 stars, because it's excellent for what it's aiming at, giving a real feel of a pseudo-Chinese/Wuxia culture and a strong focus on roleplaying rather than regular combat. The art and layout are also top notch, and a great help to bringing out the atmosphere. I can easily see myself using it, but it might not be for everyone.
An excellent set of five linked adventures set in the city of Freeport and all on obviously nautical themes. The adventures will work just as well in any seaport - specific details relevant to Freeport are included, but are easy to modify to suit any other setting. The scenarios are set up to allow PCs a good deal of freedom in how to resolve them, and, while they are linked, they don't have to be run consecutively. (OTOH, they are all scaled for 6th to 8th level characters, so you won't want to leave too long between them).
The nautical theme works well, with shipwrecks, slave traders, giant squid, and even a tavern brawl to keep the players entertained and active. It can be run straight through as an action piece, but there's also plenty of opportunity for roleplaying for those who want it. All in all, a very good set of adventures.
A somewhat different take on dwarven culture, here describing a society based on a combination of democracy and slave-ownership (with more of a nod to Ancient Greece than to, say, the Antebellum South). I doubt it would be useful as a description of a 'default' dwarven society in many games, but it could work as an isolated nation in some corner of a campaign world.
The society itself is mostly well-described, although there are a few holes here and there. The sections on history and culture are followed by a sort of dwarven version of freemasonry, complete with a prestige class based around mystical abilities, and a second prestige class for the NPC leadership of the group. This is generally well thought out and atmospheric, and one could see it being useful in other campaigns with the right sort of background.
Finally, there are some monsters suitable for an area dominated by dwarves, and, somewhat incongruously, a chapter on what are essentially human gypsies. In general, it's a good book, albeit with a few gaps and oddities, and not suitable for every campaign.
An alternate take on the Pathfinder drow, but one that is close enough the standard concept for parts of it to be easily used in campaigns not set in the world of Aventyr.
The book begins with the mythology of the Underdark and its creation. Although this does not deal heavily with the drow themselves, it is well written, and provides an interesting context to the race. This is likely useful stuff if you're using Aventyr (as is the idea), but it's the latter parts of the book that are likely to be most useful to those who are not.
Drow society is not described in depth, although there are the standard guidelines about alignment, adventurer origins, and so on for those playing drow as PCs. There are also traits modifying skills for male and female drow, to keep the two genders distinct, as well as bonuses for characters with particular favoured classes.
Almost half the book, however, is taken up with new rules for equipment, feats, magic items, and domain spells for use by drow. Although referred to, naturally enough, as a drow domain, the theme of the spells is, more generally, that of shadow and the shadow planes, and could therefore potentially be used by other races if they worship the right kind of deity.
On the whole, a good book, with some nice ideas for using the drow, and well-written with good artwork and layout.
A straight forward dungeon bash, with the only twist being that the inhabitants are gnomes rather than goblins or whatever. The scenario is written for 1st to 3rd level orc characters, but they could be anything, so long as they're evil. Change the gnomes to some other race, or tweak their alignments, and the PCs don't even have to be evil. (This would, naturally, require some alteration to the encounters, but to be honest, not very much.)
There is a page of advice at the end on how to play orcs, although it doesn't really address the question of 'evil' acts in play - orcs, it seems, aren't really all that different from some PCs, only a bit more cowardly.
It's all competently written up, well illustrated, and properly laid out. But at the end it's a dungeon bash no different from any other, and not quite as 'different' as it would like to be.
A two-page description of tavern, much of it written in terse sentences that look as if they were randomly generated by a computer. Physically, it looks very nice (although the more-or-less-random picture of a woman in her underwear manages to look sort of weird) but there is no real substance to it. The barkeeper has a description and stats, and a few patrons are listed, but there's no proper description of the tavern itself. It gets an extra star for the low price, but that's it.
A 17 page (plus cover) booklet giving brief descriptions of real-world European herbs, and the sort of things herbalists thought they were useful for. 47 herbs are listed, each with a short entry describing its appearance and where you can find it, and one or two sentences on its uses. It's nicely laid out, with good line drawings of most of the herbs. It's usefulness in game is, however, somewhat questionable, except maybe as inspiration for potion ingredients or something, or if you're playing a low-magic game with a herbalist PC.
A 31 page book (excluding cover, credits, and license), this describes a range of masks, from the mundane to the magical. The artwork is basic, but the book is well written, and includes a great variety of items. It begins with a list of twelve types of standard mask, which serve as a starting point for the later discussions, as well as an expansion to a typical equipment list.
After that, there are seven alchemical or mechanical masks, most of which duplicate more advanced technology (gas masks, diving masks, etc.) These are relatively cheap, and could well be useful, if your campaign allows such things - they could alternatively be replaced by something that uses simple magic to achieve its effects. Finally, there are sixteen magical items based on the mask theme, ranging from CLs of 3rd to 10th. With many of these, the fact that the item happens to be a mask is just a cool effect (albeit one that lets you the face slot for things you normally wouldn't), but others are directly linked to disguise, altered personae and the like.
The book rounds out with a description of a mask shop and its owner, which is well written, but fairly standard as shopping locations go.
All in all, I liked this book; it's an original idea for something a bit different, and easy to place in any campaign world. Some might prefer higher production values, but I can see this being useful enough that I'll give it 4.5/5.
A 14 page (plus cover, credits, and game license) booklet detailing a magical well in the wilderness. The idea is fairly original, although it's intended as no more than brief encounter to throw at your players, rather than a full adventure. Some encounter seeds are provided, along with stats for two of the residents, although it's unlikely any encounter would be heavy on combat unless your PCs really insist on it (it's not like there's any treasure to be looted, for instance). If they do insist, there are three different versions of the NPCs for varying levels of game, and some ideas at the end to make it tougher.
The layout is bland, although the one piece of art isn't bad. On the whole, pretty good for a dollar.
This is basically a floorplan for a one-room tavern, seemingly intended for a quasi-Victorian setting, although it's easy enough to adapt to any other. It's a nicely done line drawing, done as a single page version and a full-size one that can be fitted together from several pages, plus a GM key. There is also one page of text description, and a page detailing the barman and the serving girl, who are both interesting, with some plot hooks built into their backgrounds.
Nicely done, although it's more of a concept outline than a fully fledged location.
A 14 page guide to a small land along the shores of a great lake, with a further two pages dedicated to B&W and colour versions of a map of the region. It serves really as an introduction to a series of adventures - which, so far as I can tell, were never published.
Because of that, it's all rather vague. Although technically for the Iron Heroes system, it's actually all but system free, and so can easily be adapted to anything else. The only exception is the page or so on suggested PC traits, and even those are generic enough that they could be fitted to another character generation system without difficulty.
It's well written and coherent, with a good variety of settings within it, including dank fenlands, boisterous mining towns, pirate isles, scholarly and religious communities, and so on. The artwork is good too, although not extensive. On the other hand, the primary menace comes from the Bloodwood itself - which is never really described, presumably because that was the intended point of the adventures. It's really that, and the lack of anything particularly obvious to do that makes the product weak as a stand-alone.
I'll give it an extra star for being free, but, without the adventures, all you have here is the competently written outline of a fairly mundane region, under threat from something that's never described.
A 12-page booklet describing magical places within the world of Hellfrost, this could equally well serve as a source for any fantasy setting where magic can imbue the landscape. The first 4 pages or so are taken up a general discussion of sacred places and the incorporeal, otherworldly spirits that imbue them with power. These are not creatures to be killed, but sentient magical essences that can grant some kind of boon to visitors, usualy in return for a sacrifice.
This is followed by a description of thirteen such places, the nature of their spirits, and the powers they grant. Most are generally low-level, and there is a wide variety of different kinds, including divination, fertility, healing, and combat spells. They are all atmospheric, and should work in most settings. Finally, there is a description of the minor god of brewing, and of an undead monster.
This won't be of immense use if you're only interested in dungeon-style adventures, but otherwise it should be useful in most fantasy games. The rules for the sites and their powers are fairly minimal, and so should be easy to adapt if you happen to use a different system. High recommended if you're looking for a bit of magical flavour to make your world seem truly mythic.
This 31 page book (plus OGL, cover page, etc.) describes communities in standard fantasy settings, ranging from temporary labour encampments to metropolises - although the focus is mainly on cities. While I was rather less impressed with later volumes in the series, this first one is particularly good.
It opens with a general description of communities of various sizes, and how they might be affected by non-human populations and the like. Much of this is generic, but it seems well-researched, and provides a solid base to deviate from if your setting has particularly unusual features. This is followed by a brief look at common building types, and some more detailed examination of urban fortifications, law enforcement, and street lighting (or the lack thereof). There's also discussion of moving about in cities, addressing such things as rooftop chases and sewer delving - a staple in urban RPG settings.
Finally, there is a rather good 6-page section on civic disasters, covering things like flood, fire, famine, and plague. Any of these can radically upset a city and the lives of anyone resident within, and they can make dramatic backdrops for adventures, or just a sense of living in a real world. Again, a lot of this is well thought out.
The artwork is good, although some might want to note that 8 of the pages (a quarter of the total) are art-only, so that the text portion of the book is shorter than you might expect. What remains, though, is well worth the price.

Oh believe me pooh i'm happy that they do infact release patches etc etc.Be merely glad they are released period and not ignored, you know?
But if your like me and like to tinker with things that shouldn't be tinkered with then you'd fine yourself having to re-install at least 2 times a day, so it can get a little big annoying if your find yourself at he MicroSoft update centre more times then you are doing anything else.
I mean no sooner do you install all the patches available, but once you install some other program and check back at the Ms website you gotta install another patch because that program opens up another hole so to speak.
Well that's just my opinion, and i'm not trying to get into a Debate about anything but this is just how i feel.

FAO increasing response to tomato-eating moth threatening crops in Near East, emphasizes 'soft approach' programs that focus on environmentally, economically sustainable methods that reduce use of pesticides, use natural enemies of pest
July 19, 2012
(press release)
– FAO is stepping up its response to a tomato-eating moth that is threatening crops in the Near East. Along with partners in affected countries, FAO is emphasizing "soft" pest control programs against the tomato borer that have already succeeded in minimizing damage in the Mediterranean, including North African countries.
Planning is currently underway for a sub-regional project to manage the tomato borer, or Tuta absoluta, in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, drawing on techniques used most recently in various Mediterranean countries.
The idea is to keep damage to a minimum with environmentally and economically sustainable methods that reduce the heavy use of pesticides, and favour the use of natural enemies and "attract-and-kill" pheromone traps.
Tuta absoluta also feeds on various plants in the nightshade (solanaceae) family like potato, eggplant, pepper, common beans, and some related weeds, but the tomato is the most economically important crop in the region.
The small, brownish moth was first introduced from South America into Spain in 2006 and later spread to countries in the Mediterranean Basin and the Near East - encompassing territories as far north as Switzerland, as far south as Morocco and Algeria, as far east as Turkey, and also Arab Gulf states to the southeast.
"The tomato borer has bred quickly and moved easily across borders. Some countries have been able to minimize the insect's ability to reproduce, and limit its potential to spread and damage crops. FAO's objective is to replicate this success as the pest makes its way east and southeast," said FAO pest management expert Khaled Alrouechdi.
"There are two reasons why we aim to reduce the level of pesticides used: First, the heavy application of chemicals is not environmentally sustainable. Second, the tomato borer has been known to rapidly develop resistance to insecticides," Alrouechdi said.
"Softer" pest control
FAO has been using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) schemes in affected countries to develop low-toxic, affordable approaches to pest control, including:
reduced use of chemical pesticides and select natural ones
pheromone traps that lure the insects by mimicking potential mates
the release of natural enemies (predators and parasitoids of the tomato borer)
the use of insect-proof screens and double doors in greenhouses
nursery management and insect-free planting materials
removal of infested crops and wild host plants
rotating crops with non-solanaceous varieties that do not appeal to the insect.
"Pheromones have long been used in various countries for monitoring and mass trapping. It's considered economical, it's easy to use, and it has been well accepted by farmers," Alrouechdi said.
"The use of pheromone traps, collectively by farmers, to eliminate insects using what we call the attract-and-kill method is one of our most promising options," he added.
FAO promotes IPM as the preferred approach to crop protection and pesticide risk reduction, as it offers farmers and policy makers viable alternatives to manage pests and agricultural ecosystems for a more sustainable future.

DR. HOOK- Allergic reaction: When everything's a potential killer
Published April 13, 2006 in issue 0515 of the HooK.
By JOHN HONG, MD [email]email@example.com[/email]
Everyone has a comfort food. Oprah, Dr. Phil, Oprah, Kirstie Ally, Oprah, Star Jones, Oprah, Prime Minster Ariel Sharon, and Opr... ooh-- let it go!
Okay, so I will share a deep dark secret. I too have a comfort food. Well, actually a couple of comfort foods. Chinese Family Style Tofu is one. Yes, it sounds healthy, but it does cheer me up. Oh, and hot and sour soup. My parents always said that you can judge the quality of a Chinese restaurant by its hot and sour soup-- like you can judge a Diva by her shoes.
Peanut butter is my big comfort food. Some take it with jelly or honey, but I'm a purist-- straight up on whole wheat bread. A serving of peanut butter is something ridiculously small-- like one or two tablespoons. I use a ladle. Sometime I skip the bread-- like Celine Dion would: "I'd like a pizza without bread, sauce, and cheese."
Would my life change if I became allergic to peanuts? In late November, there was a tragedy in Quebec when a 15-year-old girl died after kissing her boyfriend who had recently eaten a peanut butter sandwich. According to CNN, she took her epinephrine shot appropriately to treat anaphylaxis, but she did not survive. (Anaphylaxis is not a Russian princess. Anaphylaxis is the worst of the worst allergic reactions that include a drop in blood pressure, shortness of breath, choking from throat swelling, and hives.)
Food allergies are due to the body's immune system reacting against protein in certain foods. Common symptoms include a rash, itching, swelling, sneezing, wheezing, vomiting, diarrhea, and malabsorption. Hmmm, I get these symptoms when I listen to Country Music. (Sorry, Kenny Chesney. Hmm, does Renee Zellweger have the same problem?)
Foods that are commonly involved in these types of allergies include cow's milk, soy, egg, wheat, fish, shellfish, tree nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc), and peanuts. (That pretty much eliminates the population of Thailand if they all had food allergies.) There are 5 billion theories why food allergies are becoming more common, and I dread all the emails about to come to me from people explaining their own theories: "It is from all the additives in baby foods," "It is from the lack of exposure of these foods," "It is a plot by the PLO since they can't afford Anthrax."
Researchers in the United Kingdom surveyed 15,000 households to study food allergies and identified only 1.4 percent with allergies to food, though 20 percent of adults perceive themselves to have food allergies. In fact, infants and young children have food allergies more than adults; it's just that adults whine about it more. However, I do have a friend whose tongue blows up like a balloon after eating certain fruits which should be renamed "Blow Pops." Could it be from the delicious pesticides?
An allergist is the best professional to see to confirm food allergies-- and more importantly, determine what foods are involved. Also a diary of what foods cause what symptoms in what time period is what we need to know.
It's too bad airplanes can't even serve us those 3-4 peanuts anymore in those microscopic bags. Now you only get 1-2 pretzels in the same size bag. But with deadly reactions to peanuts on the rise, it's totally understandable. It gives the expression, "That's nothing-- it's just peanuts!" a whole new meaning now. I'm sure people are even scared now to name their kid "Skippy."

text: Digital Hulu Off the Market, Will Get $750 Million Cash Infusion Worried brands can breathe a sigh of reliefBy Christopher Heine|July 12, 2013 Share By Christopher Heine|July 12, 2013 Share Brands and agencies fearful that Hulu might be mismanaged by a new owner can breathe easier, as the video site is no longer for sale. Joint owners 21st Century Fox, NBCUniversal and The Walt Disney Company today announced that they are keeping the property and pumping $750 million into it. Hulu aggregates online television programming via more than 400 content partners, while attracting some 30 million monthly unique visitors. It's a lucrative property—the service in 2012 took in $690 million in revenue from advertisers and paid subscribers—and one that brands are keen on compared to other digital ad formats. Rumored bidders have included Yahoo, DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, the Chernin Group/AT&T and Adweek parent Guggenhein Digital, among others. "We had meaningful conversations with a number of potential partners and buyers, each with impressive plans and offers to match, but with 21st Century Fox and Disney fully aligned in our collective vision and goals for the business, we decided to continue to empower the Hulu team, in this fashion, to continue the incredible momentum they've built over the last few years," said Chase Carey, 21st Century Fox president and COO, by way of announcing the decision. Disney CEO Bob Iger added, "Hulu has emerged as one of the most consumer-friendly, technologically innovative viewing platforms in the digital era. As its evolution continues, Disney and its partners are committing resources to enable Hulu to achieve its maximum potential." Though it retains a 32 percent stake in Hulu, NBCU remained on the sidelines during the bidding process. As part of an agreement reached in 2011 between Comcast and the Federal Communications Commission, NBCU is prohibited from exercising any influence over Hulu's day-to-day operations. This is not the first time Hulu's owners have kicked the tires on selling the company. Despite serious bids from the likes of Google, DirecTV and Amazon in 2011, the service was taken off the market after negotiations were derailed by knotty digital-rights issues.

Here the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo isn't going to leave Real Madrid, despite his recent falling out with the club: €1,000,000,000.
That's the value of the buyout clause in Ronaldo's contract, according to Spanish media (via the Telegraph).
So if any team wants to jump in and sign the world's best (er, second best) player before 2015, they'd have to pony up 10 figures.
That ain't happening.
PSG, Manchester City, Anzhi Makalaka, and Chelsea are all owned by billionaires who've shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars for players.
But €1 billion is an entirely different ballpark. The current world record for a soccer transfer is $93 million, which Madrid spent to pry Ronaldo from Manchester United in 2009.
The only way Ronaldo leaves Madrid is if this buyout clause is way less than the reported value, or if Madrid is willing to negotiate a smaller buyout settlement.
So if you're a fan of one of these uber-rich clubs hoping to land Ronaldo, don't get your hopes up.

SKF launches food and beverage industry capability catalogue
2013 April 30, 09:00 CEST
Gothenburg:SKF launches an industry capability cataloguethat brings together wide experiences within the food and beverage industry. The catalogue provides a broad range of reference cases showing how SKF has been able to support customers with increased asset reliability, improved operator safety, reduced water usage, as well as reduced energy and lubricant consumption.
The catalogue also offers insights into SKF solutions and technology upgrades relevant to various processing stages, environments and auxiliary equipment. These are coming from SKF's expertise in bearings, seals, lubrication, mechatronics and services and also application experience gained working within the food and beverage industry.
"At SKF, we understand that food and beverage manufacturers are facing many challenges – from the continuous pressure to reduce costs to demanding processing environments and harsh cleaning regimes.

Strict detailed measurements are taken to insure consistent sizing throughout size charts.Our solid colors fabric (also inside color of printed welder caps) are 100% medium to lightweight cotton. The manufacturer of this highest quality material is Kona Cotton,(very nice not cheap) you can look it up! The printed fabrics we use are the best in the business. The utilization of a 6 panel design is far superior. (hat conforms to head shape better). We install a real custom stitched 2 inch band (most companies out there omit this by sewing a line around the bottom. The 3 inch X-large brim has 4 rows of custom stitching and a denim middle section for strength and durability, especially useful when welding overhead. We pre-wash and dry all fabric before we sew to pre-shrink the material.(this and good materials insures your welders cap won't shrink away when washing). Being fully reversible allows you to turn the hat inside out for a different look. We lock all thread starts and stops(no loose hanging threads to come undone). There are countless other things I have learned to create the perfect welders cap or hat , but they are to many to list in the scope of this article.

I didn't have fish in my pond before but they are there now. How did they get there? Brenda – Golddust, TN
Where Did YOU Come From?
In states everywhere people are being shocked and amazed by the random appearance of fish in their ponds. These fish were not added by the owners of the pond but there they swim none-the-less, almost mockingly. What is this strange magic?! Is this some form of prank?! Perhaps it is the work of alien beings?! What is going on?
Unfortunately, I can not weave a tail of some sort of intricate conspiracy against pond owners across the nation. The far less captivating reason is that, by some sort of mistake, either you or Mother Nature, have unwittingly moved these fish into their new home. Fish can be introduced into new ponds in quite a few ways. Eggs or fry can be carried in on the feet or mouths of water foul and other animals, or can be clinging onto some aquatic plants you decided to add to your pond. Sometimes flooding can wash fish from nearby ponds, lakes, and streams into your pond. While you can try to prevent any fish from making it into your pond, it is pretty much inevitable that over time, they will find a way to make your pond a place of their own. It is not all bad news though, having a balanced fish population actually contributes to a healthy ecosystem and can actually provide you with a form of entertainment whether it be fishing, feeding, or just watching them from the shore.
Not sure if you have fish? Try baiting a hook and doing a little bit of fishing. Odds are if there are some fish in the pond at least one or two of them will bite. If you are not into the fishing scene you can try to place a Fish Trap in the pond with some bait and see what you pull up. You may get lucky and coax them up to the shore just by throwing some bread or Fish Food into the water. Keeping track of the size, number and types of fish you pull out of the pond will give you an idea of what type of fish population you will be dealing with later on down the road. If you notice you are only pulling out prey fish like Bluegill, you will eventually have an over abundance of little fish swimming around the pond in the seasons to come. To keep things balanced you would want to introduce a few predator fish like Bass to the pond. On the other hand, if you notice that you have a lot of small Bass in the pond, they may need a little more help with finding food. Stocking some Minnows, Bluegill, or feeding them fish food will help them grow to a more appealing size. You can read more tips on adding fish by reading our Pond Stocking Blog.
You can also find some helpful information on the pros and cons of feeding your fish with fish food or properly stocking the pond to let them feed themselves here.

Heather of Celiac Family chose 'Fish' as the theme for this week's gluten-free menu swap and the timing couldn't be better. Several weeks ago I went to a gluten-free potluck and the host of the meal made fish. It dawned on me that I very, very rarely ever made fish at home... and I wasn't sure why, because I love fish!
Michael isn't as big a fan as I am... but in the past few weeks I've been including more fish in our diet. I'm learning how to use it and cook it. Fish (in my experience) can be a tricky thing to cook. And I think that's why we haven't eaten it more often. I've made quite a few "bad" fish meals in my time...
So a few buying tips I've learned in the past few weeks... that at least work for us:
- If buying fresh fish, buy it the day you plan to use it -- don't let it sit in the fridge for days, it will become "fishy."
- If the fish is fresh it doesn't smell like "fish" -- it will have a slightly salty scent and even smell like the ocean.
- If using frozen fish -- defrost in the refrigerator overnight and use immediately -- the longer it sits, the more "fishy" it will become.
- So the basic key to using fish -- fresh, fresh, fresh!! Don't let fish wait in the fridge for days whether fresh or frozen.
- Monday -- Breakfast for dinner: yellow grits, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon
- Tuesday -- Turkey barbecue with homemade coleslaw and baked beans
- Wednesday -- Baked whiting fish with steamed broccoli and brown rice.
- Thursday -- Leftovers or out to eat
- Friday -- Traveling
- Saturday -- Pan-grilled steaks with baked sweet potatoes and garlicky sauteed zucchini
- Sunday -- Slow cooker roast chicken with lemon green beans & steamed carrots

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT (publ. 1/11/2013, page A2)
An earlier version of this story about the killing of Raveesh Kumra at his Monte Sereno home incorrectly reported one aspect of his wife's religious business. Harinder Kumra's lawyer said she never sold blessings.
MONTE SERENO — Prostitutes. Illegitimate children. Condos for his "female companions." A "sham divorce" to hide millions of dollars in assets from creditors.
Although police remain tight-lipped about who killed Raveesh "Ravi" Kumra in his Monte Sereno mansion and why, volumes of court files reviewed Monday paint a picture of a wealthy and ruthless businessman accused of nefarious business dealings while living a sordid and debaucherd lifestyle.
"Ravi has never treated anyone fairly in his life, except for his whores," read one email in the court file sent from Stephen Kaffee, the former CEO of Kumra's Tesla Capital venture firm, to another former Tesla executive.
One 22-year-old prostitute is already in jail, accused of being an accessory to murder, and three men have been arrested on murder charges for the Nov. 30 killing. But authorities from the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department refuse to explain their connection to the crime or even how Kumra, 66, who once owned The Mountain Winery concert venue, was killed on a stormy night in his gated estate in one of Silicon Valley's most exclusive enclaves.
"We have not exhausted all investigative leads at this time and until that happens, we can't be sure that we have all the suspects," Kerry Harris, spokesman for the police department, said Monday. "At that point in time, we will be able to paint a more complete picture."
Although the reasons for his death remain a mystery, his turbulent life is laid out in blistering detail in a stack of court files two feet high in Santa Clara County's Sunnyvale courthouse, where Kumra and his wife Harinder filed divorce papers in 2006. Kaffee and former Tesla executive Richard Rodriguez intervened in the case in an attempt to get what they claimed Kumra owed them.
Among the details: that Kumra told Kaffee that the divorce "would be on paper only and that there would be no real change in anything;" that a woman who bore Kumra's child out of wedlock tried to "bilk" hundreds of thousands of dollars from him; that his alcohol-fueled violent and disturbing behavior in the late 1990s ended up in a 90-day suspended jail sentence, three years' probation and court-ordered psychiatric counseling.
"However successful Kumra may have once been in business, in my opinion his chronic abuse of alcohol, his chronic use of marijuana, his failure to address his health problems, and his immersion in a fantasy world of prostitutes and illegitimate children have left him without the interest or ability necessary" to make his businesses successful, Kaffee wrote in a 2007 declaration filed in the divorce proceeding.
At 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 30, Harinder made a frantic call to police from the Monte Sereno home she still shared with Kumra, saying as many as four intruders had broken in. She had been beaten up. Her "husband," she said, was in the house — a tiled-roof mansion that spanned 7,000 square feet on a wooded hillside.
When police arrived, they found Ravi Kumra dead. Harinder, also known as Rani, was hospitalized with her injuries. Police have not said whether anything was stolen from the home or whether the intruders had intended to kill Kumra.
According to court records, the couple had been officially divorced for two years, and the house, the furnishings, the Mercedes, a cellular phone company and the Tesla venture capital firm were hers, not his. Rani Kumra ran her own religious business out of the house and led spiritual retreats.
But the two businessmen, Kaffee of Maryland and Rodriguez of Danville, contended in court papers that the divorce proceeding was a sham. Instead, worried that a pending lawsuit involving Kankakee Cellular of Illinois might strip him of his millions, Ravi Kumra orchestrated the divorce to shelter his assets.
Kumra was concerned, Rodriguez wrote in his declaration, because evidence revealed that "for years Kumra wrote himself millions of dollars in checks directly from the Kankakee bank account, which he characterized as management fees," but Kumra "performed virtually no services whatsoever."
Among other things, Rodriguez wrote in his declaration, Kumra used funds from the Kankakee bank account "to pay for escort services, prostitutes, purchasing condominiums for his female companions and other personal expenses."
In response to the accusations, Kumra denied in his declaration that his divorce was a sham and instead accused Kaffee and Rodriguez of embezzling money from him. Kaffee said in a brief phone conversation Monday that the case was settled and he could not comment further.
The Kankakee case involving Kumra was dismissed, said Kaffee, who called the decision "outrageous" and blamed a quirk in Illinois law.
Messages left for two lawyers who have represented Kumra in his business affairs, Marc Shea in San Jose and Richard Hamlin in Los Angeles, were not returned Monday afternoon. An attempt to reach Harinder Kumra was unsuccessful because the message machine linked to her phone number was full.
Court records also show that in 1998, Kumra threatened a woman who refused to allow him entrance to the Kenny Loggins concert at The Mountain Winery without a ticket or authorization from a nearby manager.
"He is a dead man and you're next," Kumra said, according to the woman.
Then he blew her kisses and said, "bye bye."

Bill de Blasio, New York mayor's race underdog candidate, surges ahead
NEW YORK Bill de Blasio has gone from afterthought to front-runner with stunning speed.
The most liberal candidate in the New York City mayoral race, whose City Hall bid was floundering mere weeks ago, now enjoys a shocking perch atop the polls in the latest turn of the most unpredictable citywide campaign in decades.
And with the Democratic primary now less than a month away, de Blasio may have hit his stride at just the right time.
De Blasio, the city's public advocate, has been given a second look by an electorate that appears intrigued by his progressive policies and charmed by his multiracial family. His first TV ad, narrated by his soft-spoken 15-year-old son, came out just before his rise in the polls.
De Blasio, of Brooklyn, has also clearly benefited by the implosion of Anthony Weiner's candidacy, winning over legions of supporters turned off by the former Brooklyn and Queens congressman's latest sexting scandal.
"When Weiner entered the race, de Blasio was the most hurt, since they were both outer borough candidates appealing to the same progressive voters," said Jeanne Zaino, a New York University political science professor. "Those people have now turned to him."
Independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg's impending departure after 12 years in office has created a wide-open race; the Democratic field alone has had three different leaders in as many weeks.
A Quinnipiac University poll this past week showed that de Blasio's support had doubled in less than a month, pushing him from fourth to slightly ahead of the pack. A second poll released this week showed him in a dead heat with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, with ex-comptroller Bill Thompson slightly behind. Weiner, once the leader, is now fourth.
De Blasio, 52, believes it was simply a matter of time before his message resonated with left-leaning voters in New York City, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 6 to 1.
"It's happening now because people are finally starting to focus on the race," de Blasio told The Associated Press. "After 12 years of Mayor Bloomberg, people want a real change."
De Blasio, though largely unfamiliar on the national stage, has been a fixture for two decades in New York politics.
He was born in Massachusetts and remains a Boston Red Sox fan but as an adult became entrenched in the New York's liberal circles. De Blasio who stands 6-feet-5, advised former New York Mayor David Dinkins, worked in Bill Clinton's White House, chaired Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign and served on the City Council before becoming public advocate four years ago.
It is rare to find a candidate who appears almost gleeful when proposing raising taxes, but de Blasio has happily made as the centerpiece of his campaign a proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for universal pre-kindergarten.
He repeatedly brandishes the phrase "A tale of two cities" to rip the economic inequality between the rich and poor in the nation's largest city. He often bashes Quinn's links to Bloomberg and calls for more affordable housing.
And he has consistently attacked the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk program stopping and searching people deemed to be acting suspiciously as discriminatory to blacks and Hispanics, an effort handed a victory this past week when a judge appointed a federal monitor to oversee the department.
De Blasio has aggressively courted minority voters, who are expected to make up more than 50 percent of the electorate on primary day Sept. 10. He has won endorsements from several black and Latino elected officials and the city's largest labor union, composed largely of minority workers.
He also has put his interracial family at the heart of his campaign.
His wife is an African-American who once identified as a lesbian, and their two teenage children are frequently on the campaign trail.
Their son, Dante, lovingly talks in the ad about his father's life and policies, including his opposition to stop-and-frisk. His earnest delivery and impressive Afro have made him a Twitter star, leading to the light-hearted hashtag (hash)fromentum.
"It's very effective and uses his family well," said Zaino, who noted that many New Yorkers have "Bloomberg fatigue" and such an ad is unlike anything the mayor would have done.
One of de Blasio's challenges one harped upon by his rivals is to explain what, exactly, his job as public advocate entails. The position was created in 1993 to be the city's watchdog, but it has little real power.
One recent crisis, though, allowed de Blasio to finally show off what his office can do. He fought the state university system's plan to close a Brooklyn hospital, staging a series of protests and even getting arrested at one. He secured a restraining order to keep the hospital open.
"He's peaking at the right time," said Jamie Chandler, political science professor at Hunter College. "But the race is still close anything can happen."

Prominent Rick Santorum Super PAC booster and probably insane kabillionaire Foster Friess created a kerfuffle today by saying that women should just put aspirin between their legs for contraception. No really, he did! But rather than dismiss him as a dangerous crackpot with a reckless anti-woman agenda, let's examine his claim at face value.
The full quote, as related to Andrea Michell on MSNBC:
"You know, back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."
So, is or is not aspirin as good at stopping babies as it is headaches?
If one has a large enough aspirin pill, one can use it to block the penis from entering the vagina. Aspirin pills of this size are not commercially available.
Is Not
The entire recorded history of reproductive science.
Okay, that should about settle it! [Politico]

That's true. But hey let's not forget, there is now a 4th version of S&W (made from WhiteBox)! And it will be expanded to level 7. Almost the same thing as WhiteBox. Yeah, go team S&W!
geordie racer wrote:Whitebox has always been the odd one out as it harked back to OD&D and promoted homebrew material and houserules - by disdaining WB and Core, S&W focusses on being it's own thing, rather than encouraging people to seek out the Oe itself, or write for Oe (the original reason for a clone). I stopped expecting any acknowledgement of WB from FGG long time ago - it was left for the fans to develop it further by Matt.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Matt's own preferred take on OD&D (S&W Core; his 'baby') became just as much a bastard step-child as WhiteBox had become in the meantime.

All About 'The Bachelor's' Engagement Ring!
The $50,000 bauble features a tulip-inspired design that celebrates the couple's past, present and future
Courtesy Neil Lane; Inset: Nick Ray/ABC
When L.A.-based jeweler Neil Lane sat down with
Ben Flajnik in Zermatt, Switzerland to talk love and engagement rings, it felt a bit familiar.
"We had spent time together in Fiji when he was with Ashley [Hebert] and I had to acknowledge that," Lane tells PEOPLE of last season's Bachelorette finale, which left Flajnik heartbroken when Hebert sent him packing. "Ben had been sure about Ashley and so I wanted to make sure he was truly in love again."
Lane's verdict? Heck yes! "Ben was more mature and was quite honest about the soul-searching he'd done and how he had found someone that he dearly loved in Courtney [Robertson]," he says.
Flajnik and Lane, Courtesy Neil Lane/ABC
To celebrate the couple's budding romance, the celebrity jeweler handcrafted a glamorous cushion-cut, 3-plus-carat diamond ring accented by 96 round-cut diamonds and set in platinum. The $50,000 bauble highlights an intricate leaf- and floral-inspired design born of Lane's passion for flowers [he recently planted 10,000 tulips on his L.A. property!] and, he says, "represents their organic and natural love that will always bloom. It's very romantic and has a vintage feel."
The three tulip leaves on each side "reflect their past, their present and their remarkable future together," says Lane, who was thrilled when Robertson "gushed" over the ring — and over her beau. "After Ben finally proposed, they were inseparable and glowing, like love puppies," Lane recalls. "They seemed very much in love."
