The latest evolution in surfboard fin design comes with a twist.
The FCS H-3 NEXUS features TRICOIL technology, a dynamic flex pattern that effectively stores and releases energy as the surfer transitions from one turn into the next. This transition between turns is where most surfers struggle to maintain speed. At FCS we believe we've solved this problem by designing a fin with a highly efficient template, material stability, minimal drag characteristics, and above all, unparalleled flex properties.
From the moment you ride the FCS H-3 NEXUS you'll realise this fin has something special. Whether your surfing tight in the pocket or carving on the open face, you can surf confidently knowing all the elements of the fin are working in synergy to deliver the ultimate advantage, more speed. The performance of the H-3 Nexus is seamless; yet quite deliberate in the way it feels.
Inside you will find a helpful sizing guide. Use it to find out your true size in different articles of clothing. It will help you determine what size boardshorts or bikini to buy this summer!

West Vancouver Cinemas
1565 Marine Drive,
No one has favorited this theater yet
This theater opened as the Odeon in 1957 and was twinned in 1974 and later known as the West Vancover Cinemas. Cinema 1 was twinned in 1980 and then in 1991 the West Van closed.
Cineplex Odeon owned the West Van, which upon its shuttering had 1,002 seats with three movie screens and over 300 seats in each cinema.
Recent comments (view all 5 comments)
here was much opposition to the Vancouver Centre project at the time because it meant the destruction to the Strand, The Birks Building and the loss to an iconic restaurant called Scott's Cafe. The developers would not budge on the design. The Birks Building clock was restored and relocated to a new location and a White Spot Restaurant, which was part of the Vancouver Centre, is located where the Strand once stand.
Interesting information about the Vancouver Centre cinemas, but what does it have to do with the Odeon West Van??
sorry. it was intended for the Strand theater entry. I write my text first in Microsoft Word then copy and paste.
In any case, West Vancouver Odeon actually opened in 1947 known simply as the Odeon. It was renamed West Van in 1957. Twinned in 1974 and converted to Triplex in 1980. It was designed by Jay English. When it first opened, the exterior and interior walls, ticket and concession counters were clad with stone work. In fact, the design was very monotone and modern, devoid of any ornamentation. However, English did incorporate an flaired front wall which is typical in many of his designs. I would hardly characterized the original design as being Art Deco. Seating capacity for the theater was 768.
This theatre was located on 1565 Marine Drive in West Vancouver and should be moved to that city's subsection. It was also listed as the Odeon West Vancouver on its marquee in later years and should be identified as such here.
ScreenClassic is right; the official name for this theater in papers was 'West Van Odeon'. I saw many movies here as it was 1 of only 2 theaters on the North Shore (the other being Park Royal, also long since closed). I remember seeing 'Return of the Jedi' more than once at this theater.

Scientific Focus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
I am interested in graduate medical education -- particularly in understanding how learners learn best and how to optimize graduate medical education given recent work hours changes, increasing handoffs, increasing patient safety standards which have led to increased supervision, and limited longitudinal exposure with faculty.
A few of my studies/areas of interest include:
(1) National Nighttime Curriculum Study: Measured the impact of a national nighttime curriculum on residents' perception of learning, confidence and knowledge in handling routine overnight issues.
(2) Coaching Initiative: An innovative approach to provide longitudinal assessment and feedback to residents, and help residents develop skills of lifelong learning and self-reflection. This program pairs a faculty coach with ten residents, who they follow for all three years.
(3) Scholarly Concentrations: Studying the impact of scholarly concentrations on resident learners.
(4) IPASS Study (National Handoff Study; we were one of nine pilot sites): Implemented an educational intervention to improve residents' knowledge and use of handoff tools.
(5) Remediation: Creating better tools for identifying and helping remediating learners.
(6) Residents as Teachers: Measuring the impact of our required senior resident rotation in teaching.

Consultation is very important, and successful VARs I see do this with customers with which they have long term relationships and can afford to take a long term view.
Network performance is critical. Without this, everything else is somewhat irrelevant. Prioritising of traffic is also important, and the ability to do this at the network edge is a real advantage.

Getting started
A meat thermometer doesn't cost much, but it can save hundreds of dollars in medical bills by ensuring that food is cooked enough to kill disease-causing salmonella, E. coli, and other bugs. We tested several meat thermometers that are either leave in food as it cooks or poked in and read instantly.
If you're picturing a dial-topped metal skewer, you should know that many meat thermometers have grown far fancier: Many are wired probes that connect to digital displays. Some speak to you ("lamb, medium"), then automatically set the correct temperature, beep when they reach a required temperature, retain a reading so you don't need to wrestle a roast from the oven in 1 second flat, and even track temperatures on two different foods. One meat thermometer has a wireless probe that lets you check the temperature of a food from 300 feet away. (There's a remote component that you can clip to a belt.) But that meat thermometer didn't perform as well as others overall.
How we tested
In addition to testing temperature accuracy, we measured how quickly each meat thermometer adjusted to temperature changes. The fastest took 10 seconds or less; the slowest more than 30 seconds. And we checked the temperature range each meat thermometer could read. The widest was 0 to 450 F, which makes it more useful for tasks such as deep frying. The narrowest range was up to only 180.
Bottom line
If you want to insert the meat thermometer before cooking, you should purchase a leave-in meat thermometer. If you prefer to check the temperature of cooking meat instantly, try an instant-read thermometer. See our Ratings to find the models that performed best.

What It Is
The Mario Kart Pull-Back Racers come in two styles: Mario and Yoshi. Each is sold separately. Each kart comes with a non-removable figure in the driver's seat. Simply pull back and let them go.
Why It's Fun
With the Mario Kart Pull-Back Racers, kids can recreate the racing fun of the video game in the real world outside the game. These vehicles are very easy to use, and kids will like collecting and racing their favorite characters. The vehicles don't go that fast or that far, so they're really great for the younger Mario Kart fans.
Who It's For
The Mario Kart Pull-Back Racers is for Mario Kart fans 3 and up. These are, however, the type of vehicle that mostly appeals to preschoolers.
What To Be Aware Of
The Mario Kart Pull-Back Racers work best on hard, flat surfaces and low-pile carpet.

Will cycling help my running?
I want to become a better, faster runner. Will cycling on the bike for a steady but reasonably hard pace for 30mins once a week contribute?
I run the 5k, if that means anything.
I'm a novice at both, but having been doing Spin classes and riding my new bike, I can definitely confirm that my leg strength has improved over recent weeks, which has in turn improved my running..... to the point that I can actually now do it, as opposed to before
If you skip running sessions for bike, you'll probably be worse off. If you add bike as an extra, it will probably help. So, if you run 30 mpw, add it a bit of bike ... don't drop down to 20 mpw to compensate.
If it is as an addition, yes, an hour plus would be better. You can also use the triathlete's cheat, which is to bike then run. It fools the body into thinking it has run for longer, because the heart, lungs and muscles are still working, but without the impact.
What Dan says is not necessarily true - it will still work you cardivascularly, and importantly it also strengthens the opposite quad muscles to those used in running, so can help to balance out any weakness ther - that is why I initially took up cycling.
One thing to watch is that if you start using cleats and bike shoes is that you don't start turning your knees in, especially whilst running, and a few months after it is worth getting you gait checked to ensure that you haven't started pronating, which is common for runners who take up cycling with cleats.
Not sure that a brick session is a "cheat". For me the most important thing about a brick session is to get my legs used to the change-over between disciplines so I don't shuffle along like I'm 90 at the start of a triathlon run, not to make my body think its run further than it has.
As others have said, cycling in addition to running may help (provided you still get enough rest & recovery), however I know when I am doing multi-sport training, the improvements in each discipline come along more slowly. Elite runners do other training such as core work etc. but spend the vast majority of their training running, and I've not heard many of them talk about cycling. There must be a reason.
I would say, cycling would improve your all round fitness, I'm not sure it will help the running massively though.
Agree with Dr Dan. Use it in addition to your running or as part of a recovery from injury.
@exiled claret - Not exactly a "brick session" : A brick session you do both hard and, yes, practice the changeover. A cheat session, is e.g. you're supposed to do a 2 hour run, so you do 90min cycle in same HRZ as long run pace, then 30 min run at long run pace. It is used by runners and triathletes who are injury prone, and want to train for e.g. marathons. I use both bricks and these sessions very differently in my training for half marathon.
I've found that cycling really had a impact on running. After a long bike ride running a couple of days later is much harder than normal.
I thought I would adapt, but it's been months and still an issue.
I don't intend to give up/reduce either, but running is much harder work that it was before I started cycling.
I doubt (but I wouldn't really know to be honest!) whether elite runners would do much cycling at all, simply because they're at the stage of being at about 99% of their potential aerobic fitness. But even at a fairly high level I know runners (i.e. a 2:19 marathon runner at my club) who will use cycling as a complementary activity, possibly in the place of an additional easy run.
IMO if you're a long way from your potential cardiovascular fitness there's definitely a place for cycling in addition to whatever running you're doing, with the caveats mentioned above about getting adequate rest/recovery... that's an art in itself; as you get fitter on the bike a given mileage/intensity will take less time to recover from.
Thanks for the replies!
Reading through everything im going to do a 30 minute workout on the bike once a week, in addition to my running, gives my joints a rest to and at the end of the day it will improve my cardio and overall leg power.
Ive just started adding spinning to my running and swimming (with a view to doing a triathlon at some point). Early impression is that the recovery part of the pedla cycle is activating hammies and glutes more.
I get the sense of being able to lengthen running stride without overstriding. I havent pushed the pace up but start to find existing paces a bit easier - possibly due to better running economy as a result. We'll see.
Dancing in Spikes, what you said about watching your gait perhaps answers a different wear pattern I've noticed on my trainers since I started biking. Hmm, need to look further into that one.

Fun.....BUT... – Nice evening, lots of fun, music and energy was great. BUT.......to the best of my knowledge, it is a bar right? It might be a good idea to put alcohol in the drinks. No kidding, and I?m not exaggerating, these were the most ridonkulously weak drinks in the world. I know there?s a profit margin to make, but it should not be at the cost of the customer?s intelligence. For two people to have a $70.00 drink tab PLUS 3 free drinks, and taste and feel NOTHING is a shame. One of the drinks they call ?the bucket of booze? tasted like Hawaiian punch and water?even after ordering an extra shot to put in it!!! Like I said, that was insulting. Order beer or wine (in the bottle so they can?t alter it) and you?ll have a blast!!! But avoid the Bar at this Piano Bar, Its highway rob?bar?y
Best Holiday party! – I attended my office holiday party and had an awesome time; we had our own deck with a private buffet and bar. The staff was very friendly and the piano players were hilarious they even wrote a song about our company! I had never been before but I plan on coming back soon!
Sunday Funday! – My friends and I recently visited Orlando for a weekend getaway and stumbled upon Howl at the Moon!! We assumed since it was Sunday that we might walk into the building and hear crickets but we figured we'd go ahead and check it out. Much to our surprise we walked in to find a cheerful crowd people coming in for the Sunday 3-for-1 special. It was Awesome, we ordered shots, beer, mixed drinks which were all buy 1 get 2 free! The place was packed and the energy was amazing which made the piano player's show awesome and hysterical. My Girlfriends and I had so much fun, I'd definately suggest visiting!!!
Howling!! – I booked a Birthday table reservation package for my sisters 30th birthday and it was the best deal ever!! We received reserved seating, admission and a round of drinks! They called Alyssa on stage and made one of the hot bartenders give her a "lap Dance"!
If I could relive that moment when my sister turned red then purple while laughing hysterically I wish I could, Next time I come in I'm bringing a video camera!! PRICELESS!!!! I thought she was going to fall out of her chair!! We had the best time ever and hope to return soon!!!!
HOORAY FOR HAPPY HOUR!!!! – I was so thrilled last weekend after throwing my party at howl at the moon! I booked my boyfriends birthday 3 weeks ago after winning a party with April, and he had an awesome time! He got called up on stage and they sang a really funny song to him and as always, called him a bitch, a slut and a whore!!! (That's how they show you love there!)
FUN, FUN, FUN – I had an awesome time with my friends at the friday happy hour.
Great drink specials and lots of people started my weekend off right. We were able to get seating right up front which made it easy to put our requests in and we had one of the coolest servers ever!! Kelly was great! She's so funny and she signed us up to win a party of our own! It was great!
Awesome show, Had a the best bachelorette party ever! – I emailed Alex at PartyOrlando@howlatthemoon (dot com)to register for a happy hour party. It was great! She gave us free admission, 50% off our drinks and $1 drink tickets. My group of 20 had a great time, we gave the piano players $20 to embarass our girlfriend (the bachelorette)
she was pulled on stage while the guys sang her a song. We had the best time EVER!!!
Quick tip: Email Alex directly for Friday or Saturday reservations, I went to the general tab that says sign up for a party and I didn't receive a response until 2 weeks later.
Also, if you are service industry bring your paystub to sign up for their hospitality card. You get 50% off your entire tab!!! Woooo Whoooo!
Awesome – Tabu is awesome. Hot girl, clean spot, great music, and nice staff!
Best place for a night out! – Great time and fun! Bring cash though, as the tab thing isn't always too clear. Otherwise, great fun and music.
Never have had a bad experience!!!!!!!! – I've been coming to the I-drive location since it opened. I LOVE it! The staff is awesome and the entertainers are top-notch! It's so naive to say paying $10 for live entertainment, that never stops-all night, is ridiculous. There is no drink mininium, like many other live music establishments. $3.75 for a beer is average in town. If you're in the Hospitality biz, like me, you can get a HIP card, which gets you in free and a discount on your tab. Everyone I know comes here and I've never heard anything, but raves. We come for b-days, bachleorettes, and just for fun. Trust me you will not be disappointed and you will have a blast.!!
Sorry the other had a bad time, that certainly is not the norm:(

Sheyenne-New Rockford Schools Welcome New SuperintendentThe new school year brings a new superintendent for the Sheyenne-New Rockford school district.
By: Adam Ladwig, WDAZ
The new school year brings a new superintendent for the Sheyenne-New Rockford school district.
Jill Louters comes from southern Minnesota where she was working as a middle school principal. She started July first, and her first school year starts next week. Louters says she specifically wanted to come to North Dakota. She was a finalist for the superintendent job in Devils Lake. She says she spent her first weeks going out into the community to strengthen the ties between New Rockford, Sheyenne and the school.
Louters: "My husband and four children are here with me in our new community and we love it. Again, when we talked about this move we were looking for a community that valued, that exhibited the same characteristics that we value."
Louters oversaw 1,200 students as principal of her former school. The Sheyenne-New Rockford school only has about 350 students.

Network Performance Monitoring
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Almost all networks have plenty of network monitors. When something goes wrong, the help desk or the NOC (Network Operating Center) will get a few too many spontaneous alerts from users. That would be fine if the organization wants a reactive solution that waits for challenges. If the goal is preventive or proactive solutions and in-depth analysis of what's happening in organizational networks then network monitoring software is essential.

79% of the CEO
Henry J. Theisen
I worked at Bemis
Pros – Decent benefits, lots of structure (which can also be a con).
Cons – Not convinced that the company values employees as much as they claim they do, too strict with job pay ranges.
I have been working at Bemis
Pros – Acceptable salaries for the majority of people
Cons – Slow decision making towards a customer claim
Advice to Senior Management – Listen more to the middle management
I worked at Bemis full-time for more than a year
Pros – Atmosphere is friendly. Rate of pay is okay. Opportunity to advance if you play the game their way. Occasionally proactive to situations.
Cons – Management has HUGE problems communicating effectively or accurately to their employees or perspective (contract) employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Learn to tell the truth and not WALK on your employees. Remember you came from somewhere.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Bemis full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Good overall company to work for.
Cons – Company has some culture issues
Advice to Senior Management – Work on Culture at certain locations
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Bemis full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – There was no need to worry about advancement. All high level positons were filled by those from the outside.
Cons – Unless you are in the Fox River Valley, you have little chance to advance. At the plant level, outsiders were constantly brought in to take higher level positions.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Bemis
Pros – First, the company is very important in the surrounding towns: it's a big employer locally, and the owners (the Howard Family) make a lot of local investments and coordinate a lot of volunteer work. The benefits include access to a small onsite gym, family healthplan with no premium, and a pension plan in addtion to a 401K plan.
Cons – If you've come from a larger corporate environment, you may be disappointed. The management is rather amateurish. My impression is that the current generation of family ownership is very civic minded, but lacks business experience. Middle-management especially is homegrown and very week. This could be an opportunity if you have a background in modern, metrics based management...you would be bringing religion to the wilderness here.
Advice to Senior Management – Although it's worked well for you so far, you may be left behind unless you embrace modern management techniques. Senior-management would especially benefit from some more seasoned hands.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Iron Heroes Bloodwood Setting
Fiery Dragon
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 02/02/2014 07:07:46
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.

Hellfrost Region Guide #1: Sacred Places
Triple Ace Games
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 11/16/2013 09:29:06
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.

City Builder Volume 1: Communities
Skirmisher Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 11/16/2013 08:58:44
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.

Indulgence: Blood Waters
Sinister Adventures
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 11/16/2013 07:59:10
A short adventure in which the PCs must explore a network of submerged lava tubes on the seabed to rescue a locathah prince. It's well written, and the while the scenario itself is, perhaps nothing extraordinary, the underwater setting gives it a fresh and original feel. Indeed, the background to the scenario suggests many more plot hooks for continued aquatic adventuring.
The artwork and map are top notch, and the writing and layout are very good, bringing the unusual setting to life. The scenario also includes a monster template, and a couple of spells that can apply it to existing creatures. (One minor point: aberrations aren't included in the template description, yet they were obviously supposed to be, judging from the example provided).
On the whole, well thought out, and an interesting change of setting.

Cities of Fantasy 2: Racial Neighborhoods
RPG Objects
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 09/26/2013 09:27:54
This 37-page book provides a description of five racial neighbourhoods for fantasy cities - one for each of the major races of dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and half-orcs. Each community comes with a description of the local architecture, it's social atmosphere, descriptions of characters and businesses likely to be encountered there, what magic is likely to be in use, and a selection of plot hooks.
The dwarven and halfling communities are both fairly typical, the sort of thing that might be found in any generic, multi-ethnic fantasy city. Either could be taken out of the city, and used as the basis for a town inhabited by that race, and general guidelines for how they live. Thought has been given as to how underground communities will be structured, and there are some rules guidelines for moving around in halfling-sized buildings.
The half-orc community is also generic - at least assuming that half-orcs aren't a social elite in your campaign world, which seems unlikely - but is more tied to the rest of the city. Much of the description here would work just as well for any slum area that's more frequented by beggars than it is by the Thieves' Guild.
The other two, however, are more specific. The elven neighbourhood is a scholarly retirement community, and the gnomish one a Vegas/Blackpool-style gambling district. Both make perfect sense, but, in most game worlds, they're likely not the typical elven or gnomish quarter, merely one example of a specialised variant. That doesn't make them less useful, and the material on how, for example, high-class casinos might work in a fantasy world, could well be handy whether or not gnomes are involved. But it's worth bearing in mind.
The book is well written, and passably illustrated, and includes a lot of useful ideas and rules that could apply further afield than the dwarven equivalent of Chinatown or Little Italy.

City Supplement 3: Anyoc
Dream Machine Productions
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 09/26/2013 06:10:26
A description of a moderately large city, this supplement has 19 pages of text, and a further 10 pages of maps, plus the floorplan of a guardhouse. Six of the maps are of the city as a whole - with numbered labels, text labels, and no labels, each in colour and black-and-white. The remaining four are expanded versions of the main maps, each showing a quarter of the city, in larger size for printing, but without extra detail.
The city itself seems suited to a high fantasy world, due primarily to the vast scale of the architecture. The governor's palace, for instance, is ten stories high, and the city walls tower 300' (higher than the spires of many medieval cathedrals, in the real world). All of which is perfectly reasonable for a high fantasy setting - and the walls, in particular, are implied to partly magical in construction - but not, perhaps, for more low fantasy campaigns.
Having said that, a few tweaks to the descriptions is all you'd really need to change it. Beyond the architecture (which is atmospherically described) the basic concept of the city is that is largely ruled by three noble families that don't entirely get on, and that it is built on the ruins of a much older city, dedicated to the forces of evil before its eventual destruction. Unfortunately, not a lot is made of the latter point, it's more of a plot hook than something that is really explored in the supplement.
There are full page stat blocks of the heads of the three noble houses, the governor, the commander of the city guard, and the high priest of the main temple. All, except maybe the priest, seem surprisingly low level for the size of the city. (The population isn't given, but we know the guard force is 250-strong, so it's surprising that the guy in charge of it is only 4th level). But they are at least well thought out and distinctive.
A number of locations, including all the shops along one street, are given brief descriptions, which can add flavour to the setting. There are also discussions on some unusual local flora, a mildly narcotic drink (no worse than alcohol, really), and some unique architectural materials, as well as things like the sewers and the water supply. Again, some of this implies a high fantasy setting, but nothing too far out of the ordinary.
There is also a page of scenario ideas, some of which would work in any city, and some of which are more specifically tailored to this one.
All in all, not bad if you're looking for a fair sized, but not huge, city to put down in a fantasy campaign. The setting it is part of seems fairly generic, so there should be little difficulty in applying to most campaigns. The maps are reasonable, and the layout and proof-reading are both good. It doesn't, perhaps, have a true 'wow' factor, but it's quite good of its type.

Granitefist Clanholding & Mine
Cartography Unlimited for RPGs
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 06/02/2013 06:34:40
A 15 page description of a mine and associated dwarven village, including 5 1/2 pages of maps. The maps are basic, drawn up in Campaign Cartographer, with a few minor mistakes like apparently floating mountains here and there, but they're functional and serve their purpose. The accompanying text is generally brief, with just a line or two per room, and the mine is clearly meant to be 'typical' rather than an adventure site in its own right. For example, while we're told where gold and so on are stored, there's no hint as to how much of it there is, or whether or not it might be protected.
The book rounds out with seven stat blocks for dwarven NPCs living at the site, with a short paragraph or two saying who they are. The layout of the book is minimal at best, with the NPCs, for example, blurring into one another due to a lack of clear headings. The book isn't bad, if what you want are the maps, and maybe some stats, but there's nothing much to it - although it's fair enough, for the low price.

City Guide: Harbor Side Mess Hall
Dark Quest Games
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 06/02/2013 06:17:35
This is a description of a dockside restaurant, such as could be found in almost any port city, or even one on a large river. Its 18 pages long, and very detailed for what it is - all the doors and locks are described, for instance, along with a 2-page description of the available menu. There are twelve named NPCs, with full stats and well-rounded descriptions, covering the restaurant's permanent staff and a few regular entertainers. There are also generic stats and descriptions for a host of patrons and temporary hire staff (serving girls, errand boys, etc.)
If what you want is a detailed description of a restaurant where PCs can meet up, or arrange meetings with potential employers, or whatever, this is likely pretty useful. But there are a few down points. For one, there's no map, which is surprising giving the level of attention to everything else - although the layout of the building is at least described in the text. Although the layout is good, there are a number of typos throughout, and the description of the entertainment room is missing altogether (and replaced with a description of the women's toilet).
In addition, at the end of the day, it is just a restaurant. There are no dark secrets hiding here, although there's potentially some money to steal if you're that way inclined. The characters are well-written, and believable, and therefore great as background NPCs, but that's all they are - if you're looking for urban adventure and mystery, this may not be for you. There are a couple of suggested plot hooks at the end, but they're minimal (one is just 'rob the place'), and don't add much to the product. There's also relatively little fantasy feel to it, apart from the presence of a single dwarf, although that may make it easier to fit into cities in almost any campaign.
On the plus side, 18 pages isn't bad for the price, which nudges it up to 4 stars.

Tavern Denizens-Book I: The Dives
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 11:20:13
Intended to be the first part of a series that, so far as I can tell, never got any further than this, this is essentially a collection of 25 NPCs. They have no stats, although some are rated as above average for combat ability and the like. For many of them, you probably wouldn't need stats anyway, since they'll mainly serve as background flavour. Each typically has one or two paragraphs of description.
They are all of the kind that might be found in cheap taverns, whether because they're career criminals, outcasts of some kind, or just poor labourers. There's a good variety here, and plenty of ideas. Many of them could be used as NPCs in other contexts, although a tavern is as good a place as any to meet them. The book rounds out with a list of 20 plot ideas, some generic, and some tied to specific NPCs in the book.
A useful set of NPCs when you need to come up with some quickly.

Agouri's Scriptorium
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 10:58:09
This, the last in the City Streets series to date, describes the business of a scribe and translator, a somewhat unusual service that PCs might nonetheless find themselves in need of. The artwork is unusually good in this one, which is 5 pages in length, and everything else is up to the usual standards. There isn't really any kind of dark secret going on here, although there are six suggested plot hooks that can make use of the business and the diverse range of apprentices that the owner has gathered together. All in all, a useful product that should fit in almost any fantasy city with little, if any, modification.

The Mug and Bottle
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 10:38:59
One of the darker entries in the City Streets series, this describes a drug den and brothel with some rather unpleasant goings on. The owner is suitably unpleasant, without being over-the-top, and it's likely that, in most campaigns, he'll be a minor villain rather than a helpful NPC. The descriptions are atmospheric, the artwork isn't bad, and layout, writing, and hand-drawn maps are all good, as usual.
Obviously, the fact that the place deals in drugs, and that these are a major element in what's going on, may not make it suitable for all campaigns, but it's more alluded to than described in detail, and certainly isn't glamourised, so I have no problem with it. A few drugs are described in general terms; two of these are real-world medieval drugs, and three are fictional, but quite plausible, even for a low-magic campaign. It should be easy enough to drop into most fantasy cities without modification.
(As an aside, contra the previous reviewer, there's no mention of heroin in my copy. Perhaps it was edited out at some point).

Brandy's by the Bay
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 10:22:34
A description of a relatively generic dockside tavern, this 6-page booklet is nicely done and can easily be dropped into any city that actually has docks, whether they're on the coast or just a large river. There's good descriptions of the proprietors, who, while with less of a dark secret than in other instalments in the City Streets series, still have potential to generate stories. Seven are provided at the end of the booklet, and there's plenty of opportunity to expand on them in a number of weighs. The use of old copyright-free art, rather than low quality drawings, is an improvement over some other booklets in the series.

Siarl's Herbs and Elixirs
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 10:08:55
This 6-page instalment of the City Streets series provides a herbalist/alchemist's shop that, as usual, has a bit more going on behind the scenes. The artwork isn't quite up to the standards of earlier booklets in the series, but otherwise, it's well written and laid out, with decent hand-drawn maps. The secret in this case is one that makes perfect sense, while being fairly unusual, although it's arguably one that's slightly harder than usual to work into a game.
The booklet includes a brief description of some of the potions that Siarl can make, but this isn't really a book of potions, and most are fairly mundane (healing potions, for instance). Nonetheless, it's all good flavour, and some are a little unusual. There are, as usual, a number of plot hooks provided at the end to fit the shop into your campaign - and it shouldn't be a problem doing so in most settings. One of them does seem to come a little of left-field, as I'm not entirely clear what the motivation of the NPC is, but it should be dramatic if you can find a way to fit it in.

Zinia's Spa
Generic Universe Publishing
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 05/06/2013 09:52:52
This is one of the longer offerings in the City Streets series, at nine pages. It describes a spa on the outskirts of town, and, since it relies on the presence of volcanic springs, might be harder than some others in the series to just put down in a random city. The quality of the writing, layout, and maps is about the same as usual, although one of the two pieces of artwork is pretty dreadful.
Although there is a theme to the location, it's perhaps less dramatic than for some of the others in the series, although certainly useful nonetheless. The booklet is longer than usual because of the large number of staff in the building, each of whom gets a short description. (And, it should be added, this is quite specifically a spa, not a brothel).
However, there is also an alternative version of the spa for use in higher magic or higher level campaigns. This is less developed than the main version, but the central theme is much the same, so a lot of the information in the main section will work for both versions. Each version of the spa also comes with five suggested plot hooks.

Miel's Curios

Date Added: 05/06/2013 09:19:15
Another top quality instalment from the City Street series, this one covers what is essentially a jewellers' shop. As always, it's well written and laid out, with a decent quality hand-drawn plan of the building. The shop itself, isn't so much the point of the 5-page booklet, which is really a description of its mysterious owner and what he is up to. It's this that provides the real interest, and the six suggested plot hooks at the end. All of this is generic enough that it will fit into any city that has at least some kind of wealthy elite and a criminal underclass - which is surely most of them.

Part 2: Getting the Right Coils for Your Combo
Last month we covered the basics about rebuilding your coilover shocks, but we just flat ran out of room before we got to anything about the coils on those shocks. The beauty of the coilover is in thecoil-carrying capacity of the shock. It's adjustable, easily replaceable, and easily tunable. Since the coilover shock only has the duties of supporting the vehicle's weight and absorbing the inconsistencies in the road, you can finely tune your coils and shock to give you the utmost performance out of your suspension. The coils are readily available in different spring rates and are universal to a 2-, 2.5-, or 3-inch-diameter shock body, on almost any manufacturer's coilover shock. This way you can just step into your local off-road shop and buy the coils you want right over the counter. No custom coil orders, just easy-to-drop-in coils at about a hundred bucks a pop.
Hopefully you'll never have to do any coil maintenance, and if you do, it will be picking them up and throwing them in the trash (or making a nice ashtray out of 'em for your mom). Coils either work or they don't. They can wear out over time, but you'll notice them getting a little soft, and you'll hopefully realize that a new coil is in order. You can prematurely kill the spring rate of the coils by collapsing them to the point when the coil winds touch. Once this happens, the coils have now been stressed to the point when their labeled spring rate will no longer apply. Most coilover shocks are dual-rate coilovers, meaning they use two differently rated coils to come up with an initial spring rate. There are some triple-rate coilovers we've seen, some custom single coils, and some that use keeper coils (almost zero-rate coils that basically hold the other coils in place during full shock extension). But for all intents and purposes, we're covering dual rates, and most other configurations are similar enough that you can make the connection in your head.
Dual-rate coilovers give the advantage of allowing you a net (initial) rate to ride around on, but upon clapout of the upper secondary coil, progress into a stiffer second spring rate (the sole rate of the lower primary coil). The primary coil sits on the lower coil plate of the shock, with a spring slider that divides the main coil and upper secondary coil. As the shock compresses, so will the coils, until a point where the slider/divider will be stopped by the slider stop ring. You'll need to make sure you set the slider stop ring to a point where it stops the upper coil's compression before it is fully collapsed. Once the slider has stopped, the upper coil is no longer part of the spring rate and the rest of the spring compression is placed on the lower primary (stiffer) coil, therefore boosting the spring rate to whatever the lower coil's rate is.
Confused? Two differently rated coils make up one single rate when stacked. And it's not as simple as adding them together. Even two 250-pound rate coils stacked on top of each other do not equal a 250-pound spring rate.
Here is a simple equation to help you figure out your rate:
|Initial rate
|Upper coil x lower coil
|Upper coil + lower coil
This initial spring rate will be your spring rate until your coilover compresses enough for the coil slider to stop and the lower coil to become the only actively moving coil.

Raleigh >Food & Dining > La Rancherita Mexican Rstrnt
4325 Glenwood Ave Ste 3000, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2761235.841845 -78.681851
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 9:30pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 10pm;Sun. 11:30am - 8:30pm
Neighborhoods: Northwest
TERRIBLE!!! – This place is AWFUL. I will never go back and waste my time or money here. We walked in and were seated promptly, but they didn't bother to even offer us a seat for our 1 year old infant. After several minutes someone came for our drink order and we asked them for a child seat. Several minutes later they returned with one of the plastic booster seats, NOT one of the wooden chairs. A few minutes later another person tried to take our drink order again, illustrating how disorganized they are. After another 5 minutes or so someone finally came to take our order and bring chips and salsa. The salsa, often an indicator of how good a Mexican restaurant is, was runny, bland and loaded with gigantic hunks of onions and whole cilantro leaves, which made it inedible. My Fiance finished her Dr. Pepper (It didn't take long since it was ALL ice) and we had to flag down our waiter for a refill after several more minutes of him walking past us. She tells him "Dr. Pepper", he asks her "diet?", which I personally was insulted by as she is in incredible shape and does not drink diet sodas, not to mention that it is his JOB to remember simple things like a drink order. After wrestling with trying to keep our infant in a plastic booster, we finally just moved ourselves to the table beside us where there were TWO of the wooden child seats that have the lap-belts on them. We ended up getting up and walking out after waiting for our food for FORTY MINUTES and never being acknowledged. Don't waste your time with this place, there are FAR better Mexican restaurants in Raleigh than this sad excuse for a business. We didn't even get to eat here. We got better service at the sandwich place we went to afterward.
My fave so far in NC – I moved here a year ago from California. I crave Mexican food every now and again. This place has great food! AND I can watch football while I eat and drink my Margis!! I can't compare it to the food back home, but in Raleigh, this is where I am when I have to have a taste of Mexico :)
We love it! – Pitchers of top shelf margaritas are inexpensive and HUGE! We love the salsa and the tacos de bistec (steak tacos) are simple and delicious. We have been to a lot of mexican restaurants in Raleigh that are MUCH more expensive and this one is by-far our favorite.
Not as good as Californian Mexican. – Service was great but overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone I know. It was on par with every other Mexican restaurant I've been to in North Carolina but it wouldn't hold up in California.
YUM, YUM, and YUM! The salsa rocked! – For our monthly Girl's Night Out with work, we went to La Rancherita. Their fresh salsa rocks! Very fresh ingredients, loaded with flavor, and great use of cilantro! Yum! The service was really good with our group of 6 for din din. We sat upstairs, so it was a little more private than being down on the main floor in a big open area. I ordered the Tiras de Pollo, which was smoked chicken with a creamy sauce, some rice, and refried beans. That was also EXTREMELY tasty! I would go back again...and again...and again...and again. :)
AVERAGE AT BEST – I would give this place a 5 for an average score but others have over-rated it so much that I think a 4 will help balance it some. It's ok authenic mexican, meaning you probably have about 60-70% chance of getting what you order and service is slack. If you like authenic mexican---it's no different than any other. Someone raved about the salsa. Sorry to say it's the same cheap tomato sauce with onions and cilantro. You don't have to be an elite foodie to know that everything and I mean everthing is average at best here. Reasonably priced greasy mix of the same ingredients. Not very clean. Not a very nice decor. Nothing to see here. Keep on moving. Granted I eat a lot of Mexican and often prefer Tex-Mex---Believe me when I say I know Mexican food inside and out. I have eaten and hundreds of mexican restraunts. I cook a lot of Mexican and everything I make is much much better. I don't mean to say I am somebody important, just that I am very qualified to rate this restraunt and the best I can say is...average at best.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Affordable Mexican food with traditional dishes that range from parrillada mexicana, chimichangas and enchiladas, to vegetarian flautas and quesadillas.
Best Salsa I have ever had..!!! Great customer service, great food, great Margarita's!! – What else is there to say... You have to check out this place. They are sort of hard to find - they are located at Crabtree mall in the same block as Barnes and Noble. Their store front faces Blue Ridge road, so be sure to drive around to that side of the block to find 'em. Parking is not an issue either. Next time you are at Crabtree Mall and want some great Mexican food without having to wait 3 hours to eat/drink - give La Rancherita a try, I don't think you will be disappointed..!!!
Excellent Service and Food – I'm still an El Rodeo enthusiast, but La Rancherita is right up there! Everything is very fresh and the service is phenominal. My parents were visiting and I took them there- they said they preferred Fiesta Mexicana in Cary but were extremely satisfied with the entire meal. I took a coworker there for lunch and he couldn't stop raving about the food and service. He said nothing was too spicy, nothing was bland and everything was hot and fresh. Definitely a gem in the land of Crabtree's chain restaurants.
BEST EVER! – La Rancherita is the best kept secret in Raleigh. The food is fresh and excellent. The service is always good and it is very inexpensive.

MINISTER Andrew Piccoli's announcement last week that recurrent funding to non-government schools would be slashed by $67 million a year from 2013, sent shock waves of fear through both the independent and Catholic school communities.
About 800 TAFE jobs will also be cut with fees to rise by 9.5 per cent.
Our front page this week highlights the repercussions of those cuts on Hills schools.
The Catholic Education Commission is calling it the "biggest threat to NSW Catholic schools in decades".
Unfortunately, we're fairly familiar with the news the state government will cut public education funds, but there shouldn't be funding cuts to any part of the education system.
And, as voters, we must make the governments accountable and the message clear.
Education is our future.
Bishop Anthony Fisher summed up the situation perfectly when he said we didn't want NSW to be labelled the "dumb state".
It's already been banging in our ears that Australia is dropping behind in world standards of reading and maths, when we were once a leading country.
As a mum, I worry our teachers and schools aren't being nurtured and are even being hindered by a lack of cash.
And principal, Danuta Maka, of St Michael's Primary School, says she worries they could lose specialist teachers, training opportunities and funding for special needs kids.

D-backs sign catcher Wil Nieves to contract
After rumors circulated that the Arizona Diamondbacks had offered their backup catcher position to free agent Rod Barajas, Jack Magruder of Fox Sports Arizona tweeted that the team has instead re-signed Wil Nieves to a one-year contract worth $800,000.
Nieves signed as a free agent with the Diamondbacks in August of 2012 after catcher Henry Blanco suffered a season-ending injury. In 16 games with the D-backs, Nieves hit .306 (11-for-38) with one home run and three RBI.
Nieves is a nine-year big league vet who has spent time with the Padres, Yankees, Nationals, Brewers and Rockies.
