I think I can find a recipe to make every day of the week with pumpkins and squash. Sweet or savory, they are happily welcomed in our kitchen in the cooler days of fall.
We make pasta almost every day. On some days I like to change things up a bit and make Israeli Couscous salads. I love to eat them at room temperature and the ingredients can be changed according to the season.
Healthy and delicious, this is a dish even my kids love. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you have to give this recipe a try.
Israeli Couscous Salad with Butternut Squash
2 cups of Israeli couscous
boiled, until fully cooked, drained in a colander,
and rinsed with cold water.
4-6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch red Swiss chard, rinsed and chopped, sliced thin
1 small organic zucchini, sliced
1 small bunch of flat leaf parsley (you can use basil, as well)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tsp of rice vinegar, or other mild vinegar
1 1/2 pound butternut squash, peeled and seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
Preheat oven to 475°F.
Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil and salt to taste in a large shallow baking pan and spread in 1 layer. Roast in upper third of oven 15 minutes, or until squash is just tender, and transfer to a large bowl (don't overcook).
Swiss chard: Rinse the leaves well in water. Then cut the last half-inch or so off from the ends of each stem. Add 2-3 inches of water into the bottom of a 4 or 5 quart sauce pan, and put on the stove on high heat. You can chop up the rinsed leaves and stems while the water comes to a boil. In a medium sauce pan, when the water is boiling well, pack the chopped greens into the pan and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and let the greens steam for 10-11 minutes.
While the squash and chard is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet and cook the onions and zucchini over medium-high heat with a bit of salt until the onions are translucent.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Israeli couscous until tender, about 10 minutes.
When the chard is tender, drain and add to a large serving dish. Add the onions and zucchini.

Question about replacements for CCI Controls Propane Alarm 7770.244.
Question: "What 12 Volt RV gas alarm can replace my CCI Controls 7770.244 that is beeping? I also need a new carbon monoxide alarm." Thanks. Steve.
Answer: Safe-T-Alert has two units, the Safe-T-Alert 30-441 and the Safe-T-Alert 35-741. Both are surface mount units. If you want to add more carbon monoxide detection, I suggest the new combination units, the 35-741 which comes in a black surface mount RV alarm and a white unit. The 30-441, gas only monitor with alarm, comes in brown and white. Both have approximately the same dimensions as the old CCI units.
If your carbon monoxide alarm is hard-wired, please look at these two units, the Safe-T-Alert 65-542 and the Safe-T-Alert 65-541 . The first is flush mounted, i.e. the rear of the unit goes into your RV wall. The second is flush mounted. These are available in white, brown and black.
If your carbon monoxide alarm is battery powered, consider replacing it with the Costar 9RV which meets all the RVIA specs for humidity and temperature ranges. For more protection, install the Costar 12RV-DB which hooks to both your coach 12 volt system and to your RV 12 volt engine battery. This unit draws from the unit with the most power and also has a 9 volt battery back-up.
And make sure your smoke alarm was replaced within the past 5 years as well. Nothing more annoying than being woken in the middle of the night by a false alarm! The Safe-T-Alert 775 is a 9 volt battery powered unit that is UL listed and approved for RV use.
Thanks for your question.

Review of Get Him to the Greek Starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand
Get Him to the Greek: Sex, Drugs, Rock. . . and Laughs
I've been admittedly on the fence about my feelings toward Russell Brand, but his hilarious performance in Get Him to the Greek has me firmly on board. Reprising his Forgetting Sarah Marshall role as Aldous Snow, Brand delivers the perfect parody of a rock star who's lost his way — both literally and figuratively. His Snow is manipulative, arrogant, and often jaw-droppingly offensive, but you still fall in love with him somewhere between the start of the adventure in England and the end in LA.
The film, which is directed by Sarah Marshall's Nicholas Stoller, kicks off with a look at the current state of Snow's career. After a successful run and seven years of sobriety, he hits rock bottom with the album "African Child" — a less-than-delicate look at the current state of affairs overseas. When Snow's turn as a self-proclaimed "African White Space Christ" causes an uproar and severe media backlash, he falls off the wagon and goes into hiding. Enter Aaron (Jonah Hill), a longtime fan of Aldous's who looks to give both his own sinking record company and Snow a boost with a special concert at LA's Greek theater. The problem, of course, is getting Snow from his home in England to LA in one piece.
To find out if their adventure is worth tagging along on, just read more.
The heart of the film can be found in Hill and Brand's near-perfect comedic chemistry. Aldous keeps Aaron on his toes in every sense, from derailing their travel plans to treating Aaron as his personal servant, and the back-and-forth is reflected in their banter as well. Both actors have mastered the art of delivering deadpan one-liners, and Snow's off-the-cuff British humor is well balanced with Aaron's blend of snark and awkwardly corny jokes.
Though the film's focus is on Brand and Hill, they've got outside support in spades. Sean "Diddy" Combs steals his fair share of scenes as Aaron's domineering boss Sergio, and Elisabeth Moss breaks way out of her Mad Men role as the girlfriend who learns of Aaron's drug-addled misadventures through various pocket calls from his phone. Their movie is also littered with celebrity cameos, but none of the supporting players hold a candle to Rose Byrne's performance as Jackie Q, Snow's sassy model/musician girlfriend who's just as ridiculous as he is. Byrne's Jackie is the perfect female counterpart, and I found myself wishing I could see more of her oversexed, over-the-top music videos.
My biggest grievance with the film is that it starts to meander a bit in the middle. There's so much in-your-face partying going on that it feels a bit like the writers ran out of material and had to grasp at straws to keep pushing the envelope to unnecessary levels. Luckily, it finds its way back for an ending that left me feeling satisfied, but not before a few scenes that had me scratching me head (and wishing I could unsee a few things).
Get Him to the Greek is not a perfect comedy, but it is the perfect Summer kickoff comedy — and the one I'll expect we'll be hearing about (and quoting) until Christmas.

Seventy-one years ago, my generation's grandparents finished a war against fascism, one of the most hideously destructive ideologies to ever seize the imaginations and lives of the world's people. More than four hundred thousand Americans died ridding the world of this scourge. Today, we have to use the democratic tools at our disposal—freedom of speech and expression, the deployment of reasoned argument, and our vote—to ensure that fascism does not take root in our country's institutions.
Republican Donald Trump has introduced a degree of hatred to our politics—as a substitute for serious policy—that is breathtaking for its openness. Trump, instead of focusing on solidarity built around institutions or a commitment to a shared, national interest, has turned to ethnic nationalism.
Trump has argued that citizenship, belonging, and access to the public sphere should be determined by religion and race. He has targeted black and Latino communities in our country, people whose histories have already been defined by enslavement, exploitation, and second-class citizenship.
Instead of blaming the powerful and the corrupt who have sabotaged our politics, or asking the wealthy to pay their share, Trump invites us to blame weaker, poorer, or more politically marginal members of our own community, our fellow citizens. Like the Fascists our country fought, Trump has isolated communities on the basis of real characteristics (language, religion) or imagined racial traits (Mexican migrants as criminals, black Americans as "spongers"), and marked them for targets for anger and abuse. He has proposed to use ID cards or other more visible indicators to facilitate the direction of his supporters unproductive range.
In the economic realm, Trump's populist window dressing barely even masks his deep commitment to the populist and plutocratic power against which Americans have for years rallied. Fascists of 1920s and 1930s made similar economic promises, and they too emerged in an era when democratic governments struggled to meet political and economic challenges. Trump essentially invites us to give up our faith in democracy, and place it instead in the hands of a strong-man.
Trump has suggested "bombing the shit" out of our enemies, repudiating international rules and norms that protect our soldiers and civilians, murdering civilians, torturing captives, and dismantling international institutions. Like other Fascists, Trump's participation in formal politics has been accompanied by subtle or not so subtle threats of violence. From the very beginning, his campaign inspired angry voters to use vigilante violence against members of the communities he attacked in speeches.
Trump has celebrated the violence and fanaticism of the worst of his supporters, bragging that he could commit murder without losing supporter. He has threatened to destroy the constitutional freedoms that protect the press and allow scrutiny into the dealings of powerful people in our country. He has launched racist attacks on members of the judiciary, and called into question the ability of Latinos to serve in civic capacities and enjoy the full extent of the rights and opportunities that accrue to citizens.
Trump has attacked the "political correctness" of our culture. But it has become clear that "political correctness" refers to nothing more than those features of our society which abhor racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of hate and bigotry.
Our country, as it exists in the 21st century, is premised on the idea that citizenship and belonging are not tied to race, language, or religion, and that we should be good to each other. I think that most people would agree that individuals in public life and public service should devote their time and energies toward devising sound public policy that creates a more just, equal, fair, and tolerant society.
Instead, Trump has invited Americans to return to a form of politics that stopped just short of our shores in the 1940s. He has invited us to turn on each other with a savagery that has nothing to do with sound public policy or the values that we like to believe define our nation. And he threatens not only the stability of our country and the livelihoods of people in it, but the security of a world that is already too dangerous because of the actions of the party he represents.
Trump and his party discuss the United Nations and international institutions as sinister foreign entities. But the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died in the Second World War knew that their government supported the creation of a United Nations. It was a collective goal, born of the recognition that the poisonous ethnic nationalism of the 1930s required not only destruction by military force, but deterrence in the future by promoting forms of solidarity that transcended the parochialism of nations. Trump is threatening to undo the fruits of the sacrifice of one generation of Americans, and the labor of those that came after.
Donald Trump, like fascists before him, has made it clear that the niceties of democracy won't stop his jack-booted march to power. He, his campaign, and his supporters have promised to provoke a constitutional crisis or unleash a bloodbath if he loses at the polls, and the candidate has repeatedly, coyly suggested that his supporters murder his political opponent.
Trump would literally cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war in his quest for political power.
One of my grandfathers joined the American military that helped to crush Fascism in Europe. The other, 15 years younger, arrived in this country as an "illegal," and has been an upstanding, taxpaying, moral member of our national community for more than sixty-five years. He married a woman who didn't live long enough for me to meet her, but who was herself the daughter of migrants fleeing a tumultuous revolution in Mexico.
My grandfather—whose children and grandchildren have been uniformly praiseworthy citizens, making exemplary contributions to their families and communities—was neither a rapist nor a murderer nor a drug dealer. But he did come to this country to make a better life for himself than he could imagine in Central America, and I would fault no one for that.
As my grandfather fights a losing battle to recognize his family and his surroundings, I take some small solace from the knowledge that he cannot see the hateful fervor that grips too many of his fellow citizens, who Donald Trump gleefully invites to turn on each other.
I ask that we make decisions in this election that ensure that when people like my grandfather--a teenager when Fascism was extinguished in Europe--survey the world, they still see something of potential value and worth in the United States, rather than a smoking ruin of a nation and a cautionary tale for the world about the capacity to forget and to hate.
Fiat lux.

"When we see a town with flourishing enterprises, such as newspapers, schools, libraries, picture galleries, literary and scientific societies, concert halls, theaters, Brass Bands, etc., we need not to be told that it is the dwelling place of intelligent and cultivated people."
The philosophy for the Gettysburg Brass Band Festival notes that it provides a "life after high school" experience to the many students in school bands. The bands performing in the Gettysburg Brass Band Festival show students that performing opportunities continue after graduation from high school. The Gettysburg Brass Band Festival provides a performance opportunity for bands from all over the country and world in our historic town. The Gettysburg Brass Band Festival provides a reason for people to visit the town of Gettysburg, surrounding area, and National Military Park.

Made famous as the place where Abraham Lincoln delivered his "Gettysburg Address" four months after the Civil War Battle which bears it's name, the small college town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is home to the Gettysburg Brass Band Festival, produced by a group of community volunteers in partnership with the Lutheran Seminary, The Music, Gettysburg! concert series, and Destination Gettysburg. Gettysburg Brass Band Festival performers have included members of The United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, The United States Army "Old Guard" Fife and Drum Corps, The United States Army Field Band and Soldiers Chorus, The Quantico Marine Band, The Atlantic Brass Band, The River City Brass Band, and the United States Army Herald Trumpets.

Did the earth move? Did your coffee cup shake and your corn flakes fly across the room? "Blair misled MPs on Iraq, says Goldsmith", screamed the headline. "PM shut me out of crucial discussions, says Goldsmith". Great heavens, the Chilcot inquiry is back from the realm of the undead, singing its ghostly chorus through Westminster. On Friday Tony Blair returns like some ageing tenor, to reprise his no-regrets aria in a staging long past its sell-by date. Welcome to a new round of Britain's unique contribution to world government, politics ex-post-facto, or democracy just too late.
In most countries the government inquires, deliberates, does something. Britain does something, deliberates, then inquires. We are getting worse at it. In the case of Derry's Bloody Sunday of 1972, government shot first and spent 38 years and £400m trying to decide whether it was the right thing to do. After the Charge of the Light Brigade, it took Tennyson eight weeks and one poem to draw the same conclusion: "Someone had blundered."
The 2005 London bombings were followed by five years of inquiries by the police, parliament and security services. All decided that bombs had gone off and people had died. It was sad but nothing much could have been done about it, matter closed. Now we have yet another drawn-out investigation because the inquest system has not been allowed its say. It is filling newspapers with attenuated personal grief, without concern for brevity, economy or dignity. Lawyers and consultants are again seen lugging their taxpayer loot across London.
As for Chilcot, no one can remember why it was set up, except that it had something to do with Gordon Brown's fratricidal spat with Blair. We knew someone had blundered. We knew the light brigade had again gone charging up the wrong valley. But that was long ago under a government now booted from office.
The inquiry was set up by Brown in June 2009 to draw lessons from Iraq, "to help ensure that, if we face similar situations in future, the government of the day is best equipped to respond to those situations". The implication was that the Iraq fiasco was about the "equipping" of government, not about the judgement or venality of individuals. David Cameron was then a stripling Opposition leader, and he called it "an establishment stitch-up". Time has moved on, Cameron has moved up and Chilcot has settled comfortably into the Westminster scenery.
The inquiry held sessions from November 2009 to January 2010, when an unseasonally tanned Blair graced it with his presence. Further sessions were held in March, at which the inquiry was excited to fault Brown for confusing real-terms with money-terms expenditure. By then it had tucked in to £2.27m and was still going strong. It sat again in June and July, after which torpor set in. Even doctoral students in Iraq studies deserted the gallery. A report originally suggested for late 2010 did not appear.
We are now being fed what can only be termed stale meat. The fact that Lord Goldsmith was "uncomfortable" with the advice he was said to have given Blair is hardly new. That Blair "shut him out" of crucial meetings must have been upsetting for him personally, but is hardly a matter for public commiseration. He was clearly no good at playing poodle. We are told that legal decisions were "problematic" and that the foreign secretary and most belligerent warmonger, Jack Straw, was in reality "very reluctant" and could even have stopped the war. All sorts of people are heading for the hills.
The truth is that this was a wretched episode in British history and only the late foreign secretary, Robin Cook, acquitted himself with the remotest credit. Apart from some legal small fry, none of these witnesses resigned when it might have made a difference. Ministers sat on their hands while the normal defences of democracy were breached with attempted curbs on civil liberty, habeas corpus and free speech, and with gross distortion of government process. Thousands died as a direct result.
Politicians, soldiers and officials want history to exonerate them of blame by being able to write it themselves before Chilcot. They beat their breasts and declare their everlasting doubt, when privately they acquiesced. Will Chilcot name, blame and condemn them, so as to encourage others in future? I bet he will not. He will confine himself to procedures, lessons and recommendations, as inquiries always do. That way no establishment blood is spilled.
Iraq saw a collapse in parliament's ability to hold the executive to account. Commons and Lords rarely strayed beyond party posturing, terrified to seem "unpatriotic" when fobbed off with the language of the war on terror. Select committees were an impotent disgrace. The BBC, because it spends millions broadcasting them, always refers to them as "powerful" and "influential". They are neither.
A public inquiry is a surrogate court of law. It should be crisp, swift and certain in its justice, allocating praise and blame for some catastrophe, as a punishment and a deterrent. Instead British inquiries, such as those often held into welfare tragedies, have become substitutes for proper, ongoing democratic accountability. They are a dilatory mechanism for postponing judgment and diffusing blame on to underlings.
The Chilcot inquiry has become like the history murals in the Palace of Westminster, a fanciful pageant in which the great of the past are depicted in pastel shades, jostling each other at some historical college reunion. The rage of their victims is deadened by protocol and decorum. The cost of it all is paid by someone else.
This week the government is reforming the NHS. It is embarrassingly clear that nobody, least of all the cabinet, has a clue whether it is doing the right thing. The same applied to all previous reforms of the NHS. With words such as gamble, risk, radical and revolutionary being bandied about, it might be sensible to have a committee of inquiry up and running in continuous session, feeding such wisdom as it can summon into the process in "real time".
Instead everyone is doing what they are told. In about 10 years time I imagine there will be an inquiry into the NHS, to tell us all what went wrong back in 2011. They will all be summoned, David Cameron, Andrew Lansley, George Osborne, Oliver Letwin, the BMA, the consultants, the nurses and lawyers for the bereaved. They will slap each other on the back and ask after each other's sciatica. They will gaze back over time and wonder, who on earth was to blame, as it cannot possibly have been them?

Leonore Overture No. 3, Op. 72a
About the WorkComposer: Ludwig van Beethoven
© Richard Freed
Beethoven composed this overture for the first revision of his opera Fidelio, which it introduced at the Theater an der Wien on March 29, 1806, under his own direction. This piece opened the second concert of the National Symphony Orchestra's first season, Hans Kindler conducting, on November 15, 1931; the orchestra performed it most recently in a National Conducting Institute concert on June 16, 2007, with Julian Kuerti on the podium.
While Beethoven admired the opera composer Luigi Cherubini perhaps above all his other contemporaries, he was not himself a man of the theater. That is not to say he did not have strong instincts for drama, but for him such instincts usually made themselves felt in instrumental works. Although he began more than one opera, he completed only one, and, in contradistinction to Gioachino Rossini, who characteristically composed as many as four operas in a single year, Beethoven spent more than ten years on this single work for the lyric stage, during which time he made two substantial revisions before he was satisfied with it. Of all his "children," he remarked, Fidelio was the one that cost him the most severe and extended birth pangs.
In further contrast with Rossini, who in his constant flurry of operatic production sometimes used a single overture for two or three unrelated works, Beethoven composed no fewer than four different overtures for his Fidelio. Three of these bear the name of the opera's heroine, Leonore, which was the title originally assigned to the work; it was actually produced, however, only under the title by which we know it today, a decision made simply in order to avoid confusion with Ferdinando Paer's opera on the same dramatic source, which preceded Beethoven's by only a year or so. That source was the French writer Jean Nicolas Bouilly's drama Léonore, ou L'Amour conjugal, which had been dealt with operatically by the playwright's compatriot Pierre Gaveaux before Paer got to it. Beethoven's title still points to the heroine, of course, since Fidelio is the name she takes for her disguise as a man in her search for, and eventual rescue of, her unjustly imprisoned husband, Florestan.
The original three-act version of Fidelio was produced at the Theater an der Wien on November 20, 1805, introduced by the grandly proportioned piece known now as the Leonore Overture No. 2. That piece was substantially revised, along with the opera itself, and the trimmed and tightened version known as Leonore No. 3 was performed with the new two-act version of the opera just four months after the original premiere. The Leonore Overture No. 1 was actually composed still later, in 1807, for a projected performance in Prague which never took place. For the final version of Fidelio, produced at the Karntnertor-Theater in Vienna on May 23, 1814, Beethoven was not ready with a new overture, and made do with either the brief one for his ballet The Creatures of Prometheus or the similarly brief one for his more recent festival play The Ruins of Athens; three days later, however, the opera was given again with the new overture in E major known ever since as the Overture to Fidelio. The three Leonore overtures, all in C major, have taken their places in the concert repertory, though a tradition arose in or about the 1880s of performing No. 3 during the change of scene in the opera's second act. While there is no conclusive evidence as to who may have originated that custom, there is general agreement that the proper venue for this piece is not the theater but the concert hall.
For an opera overture, in fact, the very perfection of the Leonore No. 3 might be regarded as a flaw. It is so comprehensive and self-sufficient that it seems to constitute a complete drama in its own right, rather than prepare the listener for one to be enacted on the stage. As a symphonic poem--its true category--it does not attempt to encapsulate the various episodes of the drama, or even to represent all the key characters. The heroine whose name the piece bears does not make even the briefest appearance, the only material from the opera itself being the theme of Florestan's aria from the opening of Act II and the offstage fanfares that signal the arrival of the Minister of Justice. In terms of mood, atmosphere and spirit, though, this music sums up splendidly the dramatic sequence conveying oppression, resolve, hope, and joyous deliverance. It is the very essence, not only of the opera but of the heroic gesture in music we associate with Beethoven's name.

The content of my website was replaced with a single pixel width outline of a rectangle, 80 pixels tall and 480 pixels across. Visitors figured out that if they clicked the top segment of the rectangle and then clicked the bottom segment of the rectangle they could draw a line. Immediately upon drawing the line they were forward to the standard content of the site. Lines were not allowed to cross. After 6-10 lines a "fresh" rectangle appeared. After six rectangles were completed the site went back to normal.
The rectangles and lines were then transposed onto 1′ x 6′ rectangles of cardboard. The cardboard was then scored on the lines alternating front, back, front back, and then folded in the same direction and hot glued together.

So an idea I've had vaguely floating around for a while is to use Necromunda - or rather, its mechanics - as the basis of an RPG.
For those of you not in the know, Necromunda is a tabletop skirmish campaign wargame of bloody battles between rival gangs in the Underhive, a festering hellhole chemical wasteland miles beneath the unthinkably vast future-gothic city-spires of the Hives where the mass of humanity eke out their miserable existence. Let me clarify that working 20-hour days welding shut ration packs in a factory powered by unshielded reactors and filled with toxic fumes that will kill you before your fourth decade, then splitting your miserable wage between religious tithes, flavourless algal slop, a variety of even more lethal drugs to get you through the day, and gambling in mob-run hells in the faint hope of a fractional and temporary improvement in your circumstances or at least an entertaining brawl, monitored all the while by a fascist regime that crushes the faintest hint of worker uprisings with appalling ferocity, and under the perpetual threat of irresistable annihilation by either an incursion of horrific Chaos demons or any of the myriad alien races whose xenophobia is exceeded only by your own, is the cushy life of law-abiding mid-Hive citizens. Your distant, implausible dream is to one day retire there.
Necromunda inherited a combat system from the tabletop battle game Warhammer 40,000, although the latter has undergone so many system changes that they now have very little in common other than a statline format.
Necromunda actually has three main systems that I think would be interesting and useful as components of an RPG. These are a summing combat resolution mechanic, a serious injury roll (which I've mentioned before), and a spheres model of skills.
Skill spheres
Necromunda has what I think is a rather neat system for skills that allows niche protection while also supporting a range of character concepts with a minimal number of skills. This means each gang has a distinctly different feel and playstyle. I'm wondering whether this can be carried over to an RPG - indeed I had the exact same thought when faced with D&D 4th edition's endless power lists.
The rulebook offers a mere 7 skill pools, and with these articulates 6 distinct core gangs; there are also four more complex and specialised gangs which have special rules on top of their skills. Each gang is distinguished by having a different combination of skills available to each tier of ganger, from novices to hardened leaders. For example, the Van Saar gangs have links to a manufacturing-focused house, so all their gangers tend towards technical skills and ranged weaponry; the Orlocks and Delaques also focus on ranged weaponry, but the former pair it with ferocious brutality, while the latter pair it with stealth. As they rise up the ranks, experiences gangers gain access to a wider range of skills, but at least one skill pool is always off-limits.
How do they work?
Let me clarify first that "skills" in Necromunda are nothing like most RPG skills. They're not something you put points in, or can be better or worse at than someone else. They are in fact special abilities that you either have or don't.
The way it works is that there are these seven pools. When you gain experience, you can Advance; you do this by rolling 2d6 on a table to determine what kind of advance you gain. This might be characteristic points (the most common, in the 5-7 range), a House skill (3-4 and 10-11), or if you're very lucky, a skill from any table of your choice (2 or 12). There's further randomisation; for example, a roll of 5 gets you a characteristic advance on a melee stat, but this might be Strength or Attacks based on a straight d6 roll.
Because there's no finessing in the characteristics, this can get weird. The absolute most common result is a 7, which gets you Initiative (used for spotting enemies, recovering from pinning, and winning tied combats) or Leadership (used for morale and command). One slightly odd outcome is that a lot of people tend to get better at leading, and initiates gain advances faster than experienced gangers, so you can easily end up with your teenage wannabes being better leaders than your actual leader.
Similarly, stat rolls have no interest whatsoever in your role. You may well be a psychotic musclebound thug who disdains any firearm larger than a pistol and never bothers to draw that either, but your brutalising exploits are just as likely to gain you improved marksmanship as superior hand-to-hand skill. Even worse, it's fairly common for snipers and artillery specialists to stack up unwanted strength and melee points. They're not useless - anyone can end up in a fight - but it doesn't make much sense and creates a sense of frustration because you're basically completely powerless to determine how your gangers develop.
Now, because it's a skirmish game, the skills are unsurprisingly focused on violence and a very few support abilities. The skill pools are Agility, Combat, Ferocity, Muscle, Shooting, Stealth and Techno. Each contains six special abilities and a character rolls a d6 to determine what they get (you can't have the same skill twice).
Skills are quite variable in their usefulness. For example, Dodge grants you a flat 1/6 chance of evading any attack, in addition to any armour you may have, whereas Quick Draw grants you a bonus if you have a gunfight (a specific type of scenario with special rules) - it's fairly obvious that the first is useful more often, and it's probably more beneficial as well.
The Stealth skillset includes one which halves the distance at which enemy sentries can spot the model, which is a moderate benefit applicable only in the handful of scenarios where the gang is trying to sneak up on opposing sentries, which is only useful in the early stages before any combat has broken out, and which (unless a lot of your gang have the same skill) relies on you being okay with potentially stranding that ganger on their own amidst the enemy. On the other hand, you might gain the Ambush ability to hide and start overwatch in the same turn, instead of expending two turns to do that.
One skill lets you subtract 1 from the Strength of all hand-to-hand attacks, essentially reducing the chance of injury from 50% to 33%. Another lets you reroll failed Pinning tests so you don't lose turns. These are universally useful, to all characters, and are likely to come up regularly. You can fire two pistols, or reroll injuries you inflict. Or you might get the ability to throw opponents around, which is great if you're capable of winning melee fights and happen to be standing on a tall building, but rubbish for ranged fighters - even though your heavy weapon specialists are some of the most likely to get this ability. Also, standing near the edge of tall buildings is just a bad idea in general.
There's some weird ones too, like a Rapid Fire ability. This lets you fire once for each Attack you have. If you've randomly acquired multiple attacks, this might be fantastically good - firing three times in a round is brilliant. But if you just have the default single attack, it does literally nothing.
So if you were planning to implement a similar system in an RPG, I think you'd want to carefully consider what types of spheres you want the skills to cover. They shouldn't just be combat-focused.
I'd also want to make sure that they are of comparable value (unless you're designing a game which has a lot of randomness and inequality, in which case you might retain the random rolling), for two reasons. One, actual balance between options and avoiding newbie traps. Two, if there are some quite powerful options that are "balanced" by niche application... Deathwatch has demonstrated that it doesn't necessarily work that way, and players will find ways to leverage their most powerful abilities as often as possible.
Serious injuries
I, uh, I already ripped this off. People kind of liked it, and I was made up.
Summing combat
So the way melée combat works in Necromunda is like this:
- each character rolls 1d6 for each Attack they have
- if you have parries (due to a sword or the Parry skill) you can force the opponent to reroll one dice per parry; parries cancel out
- they pick their highest roll and add their Weapon Skill, plus modifiers like high ground or charging
- additional 6s add +1 to your score, additional 1s subtract -1 from it.
- whoever wins gets to roll one hit on the opponent for each point of difference in the scores
- highest Initiative wins ties by 1 hit
This means that combat is brutal - actually significantly more brutal than ranged combat most of the time. A typical ranged ganger makes one attack with a lasgun, mostly requiring a 4+ to hit, and if successful rolls one hit with a typical 4+ to wound. You can mostly expect a roughly 25% injury rate. Most of these injuries will leave the target crawling feebly around and no longer a threat (a roll of 2-5 is "down", 1 is a flesh wound, 6 is out of action).
In melée, although gangers begin with the same Weapon Skill (3), the dice add a big swing factor and you can stack odds heavily in your favour with ease: charging your opponent is a +1, you can wield two melée weapons for a bonus attack, and a sword lets you parry the enemy's dice if it's good. So your unlevelled combat ganger can begin with 4 + the better of of 2d6, against an opponent rolling 3 + 1d6 and forced to reroll a good result. On average this means you're getting about a 9, and they're getting about a 5, so you hit them 4 times and wound twice and beat them unconscious. Literally. Because as long as you have no further opponents, you can automatically take any melée opponent out of action if you deal a "down" result.
Although getting into combat is difficult, a moderately prepared melée attacker can wreak absolute havoc on an enemy gang, and attacking en masse lets you gain bonus attacks and WS as well! In fact, sending a mob of kids with switchblades to mow down the experienced enemy gang is a completely legitimate and effective tactic.
I'm not sure about the deadliness, but I do like the way that a round of Necromunda combat results in one or the other party getting the upper hand, rather than the exchange of blows that typifies some other systems. The multiple strikes could reasonably represent either several actual strikes, or the chance to make a particularly effective strike when you have the upper hand.
Having articulated my reasons for being interested,
next time okay, when I next get round to thinking about this, I'll try to work out a broader set of skills and how they could be used.

More than 8,500 people attended the 21st annual Kansas Sampler Festival held May 1-2 in Leavenworth despite a brief rain and hail storm on Sunday afternoon. More than 320 exhibitors, entertainers, historic performers, food vendors, entrepreneurs, vintners, microbrewers, artists and authors provided the public a sample of what there is to see, do, hear, taste, drink, and buy throughout Kansas.
Sixteen giant tents were filled with participants from every corner of the state including Liberal, Goodland, Columbus, Medicine Lodge, Scandia, Muscotah and 140 other communities. New to the festival were large tents dedicated to the promotion of Kansas authors, artists, Freedom's Frontier National Heritage area, Leavenworth County and Pottawatomi County. A Kansas wine and beer garden also had a successful debut.
Foundation director Marci Penner said, "The large crowd drew rave reviews from exhibitors as being a very interested audience. The intent of the festival is to increase year-round visitation and business for the exhibitors."

Nick Nunziato got the Crusaders rolling in the first as he drove a Hunter Martin pitch over the right center field wall to give the Abbey a three run advantage.
Starting pitcher Matt Davenport labored early, allowing a pair of runs to score in the first on four walks and a misplayed grounder by Matt McGarry. Davenport would settle in, eventually tossing five innings to earn the win.
With a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth, Nunziato would strike again as he homered for the seventh time on the season, hooking one around the left field foul pole to extend the lead to 5-3. Nunziato would finish with five RBI on the evening, giving 23 on the year.
Single runs in the fifth for the Bears would make it a two run. Each scored in the sixth, to make the score 6-4.
In the eighth, the Bears made things inteesting, scoring twice on a Ross Garrett pitch to trim the lead to 8-6.
However, Kyle Halbohn would close the door on Lenoir-Rhyne with a perfect ninth to earn his third save of the year.
The 11 hit attack moved the club's collective batting average to .308 on the season. They will enter the weekend series with Pfeiffer averaging more than seven runs per contest.
On the night, Davenport was the only pitcher charged with an earned run, as the Crusaders bullpen pitched the final innings, striking out eight batters while allowing just three hits on two walks.
The Crusaders will return to Abbey Yard for a three game set against conference for Pfeiffer. First pitch time for Friday is slated for 6:00 PM, as Tyler Byrnes is to toe the slab for the Abbey. Airtime on BASN is scheduled for 5:45pm. Follow the feed on www.basn.wgnc.net.

Submitting a newly launched website is easy if you know exactly how to do it. In the following I will describe the exact process of website search engine submission so that when you have designed your site and are set out to submit it, you can do it effectively and in an efficient manner.
Submitting your Website to Google
Google dominates the global search engine world with a larger percentage of searches each month than all of the other search engines combined. Getting your site to rank in Google should be top priority when attempting to create a profitable website that brings in traffic or visitors.
First of all, you need to have a Google account. Sign up for a gmail account if you don't already have one. Next, find webmaster tools. The best way to do this is to search Google for "Google webmaster tools". You will see "Search Engine Console" at the top of the results, and you should click on this. You will be asked to sign in to the Search console where you can submit a site. Later on you can use the search console by Google webmaster tools to gather information on how your site is performing in the search results.
Once you have accessed the Google search console, you click "Add property" to add a website. In the text field, enter your website's url, in the http://yoursite.com format. Next, you will be asked to verify your site. There are a few different ways to do this. You have to prove to Google that you own the site. The recommended way is to upload an html file to your server in the root folder of your site. In order to do this you need an FTP application. Use Filezilla for this. Search Google for Filezilla, and download the program. Once you have opened Filezilla, you need the hostname, which is numerical and can be provided by your hosting provider. You also need the password to your hosting account, and the file name on your host's server where your website is located. Enter this information into the fields at the top of the Filezilla program. Next, you have to download the html verification file from Google webmaster tools onto your own computer. Next, locate the file in the Filezilla program, and drag and drop it into the root folder of your site in the adjacent window in the program. The upload process will begin immediately. Once the file is uploaded, you can click verify your site.
There are also other methods of verifying your site if you don't want to use an FTP program. If you know anything about code, you can go into the header of the home page of your site, and copy and paste the code that you find under alternate methods in Google webmaster tools right after the first <head> tag. Save the file and go back to Google and verify. These two methods are the most common. You can also verify your site with Google analytics. However you will still be required to copy and paste a code snippet into your site.
Once you have verified your Google site, you need to choose a target country. This is usually the country where you are located. Then you will need to repeat the process and submit a site with a www and one without a www on the front of the url. So, you will actually be submitting two sites to Google, a www version and one without the www. Then you will select a preferred version. It doesn't really matter which one you choose, it's up to you how you want the url of your site to appear.
It is also important to submit a sitemap to Google. A sitemap is an xml file that contains all of the pages on your site. You can create it manually, however WordPress has plugins that will generate a sitemap automatically. If you have a smaller site, you can code it manually. It's fairly easy, just search for "xml sitemap format" on Google. It's basically just the same code snippet over and over again. Each code block references a different page of your website and allows Google to index all of the individual pages on your website more easily.
Submitting Your Website to Bing
Bing is the second largest search engine in the world, and it should be the next priority after Google. Sign up for a Microsoft account. You will probably be using Outlook if you don't already have an existing Microsoft account. Run a search for Bing webmaster tools, and click on the Bing Webmaster tools link at the top of the results. You will be asked to sign in. Once you have accessed the webmaster portal, you will see a text box that says "add a site". Type the url of your site in this box with the http:// part included. You will be asked to submit a sitemap. Just enter the url of your sitemap at the prompt. Next, you will be asked to verify your site. You can do this the same way you did it with Google. It will just be another html file upload in the root folder of your site, or it will be to copy and paste another piece of code right after the <head> in the code of your site's home page. There is another way, which is to place a piece of code into the appropriate text field on your domain account.
One thing Bing lets you do is submit 40 pages a month to their index. Just click on your site from the Bing webmaster tools portal, and then click on "configure my site" -> "Submit urls" and you can list the urls of individual pages.
Other Search Engines
Now that you have submitted your site to the biggest portion of the web searches, you can submit your site to all of the other search engines. This is easy. Search for "Submit a Site to All Search Engines". You will find various free services which allow you to submit your site to a wide variety of search engines. Find two or three of these search engine submission sites, and submit your site to all of them. After five minutes, check your e-mail, because you may have to follow up with some of them.
Once you have done all of this, your site will have been submitted to all of the relevant search engines, and you have accomplished the task.

On The Horns
Literary Fiction
by Lord Malinov
The funny thing is that I met Tracy a long time before Alan did. She worked in my department at Falco a few years back, for about five months, starting in the summer. I didn't know her that well, but I certainly noticed her. She was the prettiest girl in the office. I was just getting serious with Elaine when Tracy started working. In fact, Tracy made me nervous. She was really pretty and she always smiled at me.
I probably didn't handle it very well, when Tracy worked with me. She'd try to make small talk and I'd panic. She'd smile and I'd look away. I was just afraid. I had been so certain that I wanted to be with Elaine. I knew that flirting with Tracy would cause me trouble.
Maybe it would have been better if I'd given the thing I was building with Elaine a good shake. Maybe it would have fallen apart then, and I'd have saved us both some grief in the long run. Maybe we would have been more realistic and fixed whatever went wrong a long time ago.
But that's water under the bridge.
Maybe I'd be with Tracy now, maybe I could have pulled off her panties last night. Maybe she'd love me.
Even though I was running away from her with my tail between my legs, I was sad when Tracy quit. I had to struggle to resist her temptation, but it was better than not being tempted. She would wear skirts that always made me stare at her lean legs, wishing the hem would creep a little higher. She could make even a simple blouse look provocative. Some of her shirts would dare me to sneak glances down the front. Others would just hug her boobs tight, leading me to imagine how they might look when she pulled the shirt off. Sometimes a gap would spread between buttons, exposing the lace of her pretty white brassiere.
Then she would smile and say hello. I'd blush and scamper away.
But she quit in the fall and I forgot all about her.
Elaine and I were engaged the next summer, and we set the wedding for a year later, which would have been the Saturday after next. My lease ran out in June and I suggested we move in together, give the marriage a trial run. Elaine refused to even consider it.
Alan was a friend of Paul's and he needed a roommate, so we took this place in Frisco. The rent's a little high, but the amenities are nice. He's been a decent roommate. Alan plays a dozen sports on as many teams, and so with the parties after the games, he wasn't home much at all. I liked that. Elaine spent lots of time at our place.
Then one Tuesday night, I came home late from work. I dropped my briefcase by the door and went into the kitchen to fix a drink. I thought Alan was playing basketball or hockey that night. I heard a soft moan and peeked around the corner. Alan was kissing a girl on the sofa. Only the timing was surprising. When Alan was home, it was usually to kiss a girl. I retreated into the kitchen.
"Hey, Brian," Alan said a moment later.
"Yo," I answered.
"Do you know Tracy?" he asked.
"I don't think so, " I said and then walked into the front room to find Tracy smiling beside my big roommate. "Oh," was all I could add.
"Hey, Brian," Tracy said. Her skirt had crept up high, exposing the silky sheen of pretty white panties between her lean thighs.
My life has been a mess ever since that night.
Alan brought girls home to kiss fairly regularly, but in the nine months we'd been living together, it was rarely the same girl twice. Tracy broke that pattern. Three, four nights a week, Tracy would be there. Saturday afternoon gave way to all weekend.
Elaine met Tracy, once or twice, right at the beginning. I don't think she paid any attention to her, no more than she usually paid to any of Alan's "bimbos" as she bluntly called them. She didn't like Alan. Elaine had other things on her mind by that time. She was deciding to call off the wedding.
It was a big deal. Not so much because it was hard to break up with me, but because her parents had already spent a fair amount of money in arranging the nuptial ceremonies. They fought. I gave up quickly. Elaine always made decisions seriously. When she did change her mind, I knew that was for good.
A part of me was glad. I don't think I ever really wanted to be married. Not to Elaine, anyway. It just seemed like the thing to do. When we broke up, I felt lost but not really sad. I didn't know what to do next. I wasn't ready to meet other girls. I just stayed home.
Slowly but surely, Tracy became a part of our household. I'd wake up and go to the kitchen. She'd be eating cereal at the table in a t-shirt and panties. Her hair would have a tangled knot in the back and her nipples would rise and fall under the cotton. We'd talk. I think she found me a pleasant change from Alan in that regard. He's not much of a talker. I'm not afraid of her anymore. She doesn't seem interested in me.
Anyway, I've been thinking about her more and more. I look forward to talking to her, especially when Alan isn't around, if only for a few minutes. I'm always hoping for glimpses of her body and I've been rewarded. She's so casual, so immodest, so relaxed. Elaine was never relaxed about being naked.
Of course, Tracy is Alan's girlfriend. I'm pretty sure he'd get violent if he thought I was after her. I was keeping my cool pretty well.
Last night, I came home at like six and crashed. I hadn't slept much the night before last, working on this project, and then we ended up having to crank all day yesterday. I finally came home and just fell into bed.
When I woke up, it was maybe one in the morning. I went into the hallway and heard Tracy giggling. There's a mirror by the front door, and I can see Tracy in the glass, dancing. I could see the back of Alan's head above the sofa. He reached over and started unbuttoning her shirt. Tracy laughed and then helped unfasten the buttons. She danced a little while in her bra and black skirt. Finally, she reached behind her back and unclasped the bra.
I'd had hints, brief peeks, but her boobs were unbelievably beautiful, luscious and creamy, sensual and perfect. Large dark circles formed her nipples, and with each bounce of her dance the circle closed, tightening and pressing outward. A slight tan delineated the mounds from her chest, even in the dimly lit room. I wanted to kiss them. Tracy squeezed them in both hands and gave a low moan that made me ache inside.
Alan said something I didn't hear. Tracy turned to wave her backside at him. Reaching to the side for a zipper, she shed the dark skirt, revealing a white triangle of sheer cloth hardly covering her bottom. She moved gently, hypnotically, rhythmically swaying her ass. The elastic started to descend the wide curve. Alan reached over and Tracy bent as the panties slid down her long legs.
My cock grew rigid in my hand. Tracy knelt down and sucked on his. I leaned back against the wall. Her head bobbed over his lap. He placed his hand on the back of her head and groaned. I bit my lip and stroked myself silently, slowly.
I thought for a moment about kneeling behind her, pushing my cock inside her. My arousal grew uncontrollable. I kept myself from coming.
All at once, they rose and headed for the bedroom. I dashed back into my room, carefully closing the door. I laid down on my bed. Soon the creaking of bedsprings started, fast and furious. Her moans tore through my heart.
I have to leave. I must get away. Jerry has a cabin. I'll go live there. This can't go on. She isn't mine.
It isn't fair. I knew her first.

Instagram: You're Doing It Wrong.
With over 200 million active Instagram accounts, more brands are jumping on the bandwagon of this vibrant social image sharing platform. While there is no right way to win fans on Instagram, there are some wrong ways! Lindsey Wallace shares her top three tips for brand success on Instagram:
1. No Links Please
Including a URL in the caption of an Instagram post is a rookie mistake businesses make. Currently Instagram does not support links posted in captions or comments. When businesses include a URL in a post it is plain text, not a hyperlink. This is a wasted marketing opportunity. It may also indicate that your company does not 'speak the language' of Instagram.
Links are a crucial part of marketing for Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. Social Media Managers take advantage of the tracking and analytics that links offer on social media platforms to track progress. Instagram is an exception. It's the one social media platform where links in a post are simply out-of-place. This is because Instagram users expect the photo to tell the story. The caption is meant to complement the image. When users are enticed by your brand, they will know to find the clickable link displayed in your Instagram profile, not the caption.
2. Post Frequency
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to how often your business should post to Instagram per day. The most important thing when considering post frequency is to remain consistent. An analytics firm monitored 55 business Instagram accounts over time and they found "there's a compelling reason not to post as often as you possibly can, it's that once you start, you have to keep it up. Accounts that abruptly decrease their post frequency lose followers quickly."
With this in mind, create a posting schedule. This flexible outline will serve as a reminder to stay on track. Mix brand messages, behind the scenes exclusive images and fun posts to keep fans interested.
3. Use Hashtags
Neglecting to use hashtags in your Instagram post is like hosting a Yard Sale without putting up any road signs. If you take the time and care to create compelling content, make the effort to find your target market on Instagram.
60 Million photos are shared every day on Instagram. Active users explore hashtags in their areas of interest to find new content. The proper use of hashtags can increase your audience size, and your follower count. Here are three important types of hashtags to get started:
- Location: The location of your business or common nicknames for the area. Don't be afraid to get specific. If you are based out of a big city feel free to tag your location down to the neighborhood. Example: #EastVillage #NewYorkCity #NYC #BigApple #NewYork
- Images: Tagging the items or objects shown in your Instagram post. Example: #Coffee #Food #Shoes #Soccer
- Keywords: Every business should have a list of SEO keywords that targets their desired audience. Some of these keywords can also double as great hashtags. For example, if your business happens to be a bar or nightclub in Los Angeles, some hashtags might be: #LANightLife #LAHappyHour #PartyLA
Instagram, like all social media platforms, is ever-growing and ever-changing. There is no 'one size fits all' solution for businesses, each platform offers unique challenges -- and benefits. Learn to speak the language and to market through the mayhem!

The INSIDER Summary:
- Many people have switched to drinking milk substitutes instead of cow's milk.
- We spoke with two nutritionists who said that milk is natural, has vital nutrients, and that the case against it is often made by people who aren't experts.
- Unless you have dietary, cultural, or religious restrictions, there's no reason to cut dairy.
In the last 40 years, milk consumption per capita has decreased by about a third, according to the USDA — it's tough to find someone nowadays who hasn't switched to some kind of dairy substitute, be it almond, soy, rice, or some other kind of "milk."
So how did good old-fashioned cow's milk get such a bad rap, and how much validity does that rap actually have?
We spoke with two nutritionists, Keith Ayoob and Meg O'Rourke, to find out the real story.
Full disclosure: Ayoob is the grandson of a dairy farmer and a participant in the Milk Processor Education Program.
Cow's milk is one of the most nutrient-rich beverages out there.
Both O'Rourke and Ayoob say that milk has potassium, calcium, vitamin D, and protein. And while you can get these nutrients — separately — from other foods like salmon and kale, it's hard to find a single source like milk that offers all four of them at once.
According to Ayoob, last year's dietary guidelines highlighted four "nutrients of concern," meaning that over 50% of the American population has a diet that's deficient in those nutrients. They are calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and fiber. Milk provides three of those nutrients (calcium, potassium, and vitamin D).
So when you're drinking milk, you're killing multiple birds with one stone.
The use of hormones in milk has gone way down in recent years, and the link between these hormones and cancer has never been scientifically proven.
Dairy farmers used to give cows hormones in order to increase how much milk they produced. Some studies claimed there was a link between these hormones and cancer. And while both O'Rourke and Ayoob say that the use of these hormones has gone way, way down — they're barely being used at all anymore — O'Rourke says that science-based evidence doesn't support a connection between hormones and cancer.
Ayoob also says that what many people don't realize is that there are hormones in most of the food we eat. Living beings, both plants and animals, all have hormones, but these only affect the being they're found in.
When drinking milk, "[those hormones are] not going to work on you unless you have a tail, and hooves, and five stomachs."
O'Rourke did however say that if she has a patient with a history of cancer, she might recommend they stay away from drinking milk, just to be on the safe side.
Emerging evidence suggests that the saturated fat in milk isn't directly related to heart disease.
Ayoob said that he was wary of the saturated fat in milk until attending a lecture on the topic. He says that saturated fat is not just one substance, but a whole group of fats that behaves differently depending on what food it's in.
Ayoob gave the example of cheese and butter. Both come from milk and have the same kind of saturated fat. But the saturated fat in cheese is bound to protein; the saturated fat in butter is isolated. Ayoob says the protein in cheese causes the saturated fat to behave differently, more specifically the fat doesn't seem to increase cholesterol (which can lead to heart disease) like the saturated fat in other foods — like butter — does.
So in simple terms, the saturated fat in milk isn't as harmful as many make it sound.
The case against dairy is often made by celebrities and people who don't have proper credentials.
O'Rourke and Ayoob advise being cautious about where you're getting your nutrition information from, because many of those who tout the benefits of cutting out dairy don't have the credentials to do so. Both say the switch to milk substitutes is trend that's been exacerbated by our obsession with celebrity culture and social media.
"The food trends come and go. Milk has always been here, and they sort of take it for granted," Ayoob said. "And keep in mind, bad mouthing a food gets headlines. If it bleeds, it leads. And a lot of what I see — and this is what really bugs me — a lot of what's said about milk is just patently false."
Milk substitutes are processed; milk is natural.
Ayoob says that often the people promoting milk substitutes like soy, almond, and rice milk are all about non-processed and natural foods. Yet, these substitutes — in comparison to cow's milk — are incredibly processed.
O'Rourke adds that she has no problem with beverages and foods that come from a natural source, and most of the people in our parents' and grandparents' generations didn't either — and they were a lot healthier than we are.
"The incidence of obesity is steadily increasing. They're predicting by 2030, 42% of Americans are going to be obese," O'Rourke said. "We're eating less dairy, we're eating less gluten, so why is this all trending upward? When our parents were younger, or maybe your grandparents, they ate dairy, they ate real stuff, and there was no obesity epidemic."
Not drinking cow's milk could mean a rise in osteoporosis.
The idea of milk building strong bones has been contested, but both Ayoob and O'Rourke think that milk does make a difference, and they worry that fewer milk drinkers now could mean more cases of osteoporosis later.
The bottom line: unless you're lactose intolerant or have religious or cultural reasons to cut cow's milk out of your diet, there's really no reason to.
If you do decide to stop drinking milk, O'Rourke suggests talking to a nutritionist or doctor to see what nutrients you'll be missing out on, and what foods you should be eating as an alternate source of those nutrients.
