Where to buy sweetbreads
I'm sort of turning into the offal girl.
Has anyone seen sweetbreads around Boston recently? In the past, I've found them at Whole Foods. But I've asked a handful of WF's meat departments about availability only to receive the answer of, "Let me transfer you to the bakery."
Holler back if you know of a place that has them in stock now! I think it's a little too late to special-order them, and, with any luck, my Thanksgiving paté is going into production tomorrow. Grazie!
The Butcher Shop (South End) has beautiful veal sweetbreads.
Even if you don't see them out in the case, ask the butcher -- they usually have them downstairs.
I had veal sweetbreads (in a morel mushroom cream sauce) at La Voile this weekend, and they were incredibly tender and delicious, so I've been thinking of cooking them up myself. Good luck!
Awesome, thanks! My husband reminded me that we bought them once at the Alewife WF's, in case anyone else is looking.
I just spoke with Savenor's and they're selling them for $10/lb. And of course! The Butcher Shop!
I'm intrigued by this Market Basket reference... which Market Basket?

Des Moines International Airport (IATA: DSM, ICAO: KDSM, FAA LID: DSM) is a public small hub primary located three miles (5 km) southwest of the central
business district of Des Moines, a city in Polk County, Iowa, United States. This airport is publicly owned by the City of Des Moines. The airport serves
the Des Moines metropolitan area and is the closest airport with 18 connections to major airline hubs for people who live throughout much of east-central,
north-central, and southern Iowa.
Eppley Airfield in Omaha and the Kansas City International Airport compete with Des Moines International for business. Recently, fewer locals than in
past years choose to fly out of those airfields even though both airports offer discount airlines not available in the Des Moines market. Local usage
has improved thanks to Des Moines International Airport airing television commercials pointing out that passengers who choose to fly out of Omaha or
Kansas City prevent Des Moines from attracting new airlines. Des Moines also has discount service from Allegiant Air, not available at Omaha. This
has led to record-breaking years, and the airport handled a record 1,990,167 passengers in 2004; that figure dropped to 1,903,573 in 2005 but increased
to 1,959,393 in 2006.
Booming enplanement rates and the aging terminal have led Des Moines International's board to begin planning for further expansion. The present terminal
would be replaced to allow for expanded cargo operations and a planned general aviation runway would be expanded to a full service runway. These plans
are expected to be put into place once the airport handles approximately 3 million passengers a year, or 1.5 million enplanements.

A lesson in African sovereign debt disclosure courtesy of Mozambican Tuna and brought to you by Bloomberg:
Two months ago, Credit Suisse Group and VTB Capital financed a flotilla of tuna boats for Mozambique, then packaged the debt into notes for overseas investors. It turns out the fleet also includes anti-pirate patrol boats, according to the French Foreign Trade Ministry. They are capable of being equipped with 20mm cannons and military drones, according to Stratfor, a global security advisory firm. Credit Suisse is adamant that its funding wasn't used for armed boats.

Carl "Mike" Hovland of Rollings Hills is scheduled for sentencing March 6 after pleading no contest to charges stemming from the theft of mail from numerous Rolling Hills homes.
Hovland, who grew up in the gated city, was living at 77 Eastfield Drive at the time of the mail thefts. He used the stolen mail to commit identify theft, the Lomita Sheriff's Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
According to the Daily Breeze, Hovland, 31, must stay out of Rolling Hills. He will be placed in a drug-rehabilitation program and serve 5 years' probation.
Hovland was originally arrested on Nov. 14 and charged with burglary, grand theft and theft by access cards.
After posting bail following his arrest, he was taken into custody on Dec. 21 by the Torrance Police Department on suspicion of petty theft/shoplifting. He was released on his own recognizance.
On Jan. 7, Hovland was again arrested, this time by Redondo Beach police in connection with identify theft and narcotics possession. His girlfriend, Taylor Marciano, was also arrested.
Last Thursday, Hovland pleaded no contest to grand theft in connection with the stolen mail and no contest to the identity theft and narcotics charges. His sentencing date is March 6.
The Lomita Sheriff's Station said its investigation is ongoing.

5/31: Mytob-BI Worm Arrives in Email
Some security vendors have issued alerts for W32/Mytob.bi@MM, a mass-mailing worm that combines W32/Mydoom@MM functionality with W32/Sdbot.worm functionality.
Some security vendors have issued alerts for W32/Mytob.bi@MM, a mass-mailing worm that combines W32/Mydoom@MM functionality with W32/Sdbot.worm functionality. The virus arrives in an email message with an attachment.
When the attachment is run, the virus copies itself to the Windows System directory (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\ on Windows XP) as Lien Van de Kelder.exe.
The Hosts file (typically found in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\) is also appended to direct several security websites to the local host, so they cannot be accessed. This file is detected and cleaned as Qhosts.apd.
Registry keys are created to load the worm at startup:
Additional the following value is set:
More information can be found at this McAfee page.
According to Trend Micro, which also issued an alert, similar to other MYTOB variants, Worm_Mytob.BI propagates by sending a copy of itself as an attachment (file size is around 29,868 to 29,882 bytes) to an email message, which it sends to target recipients using its own Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) engine.
It gathers target email addresses from the Temporary Internet files folder, Windows Address Book (WAB), as well as from files with certain extension names. It may also generate email addresses by using a list of names and any of the domain names of the previously gathered addresses.
This worm also takes advantage of the LSASS vulnerability to propagate. For more information about the said vulnerability, please refer to the following Microsoft Web page:
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011
This worm has backdoor capabilities, which allow a remote user to perform malicious commands on the affected machine. The said routine provides remote users virtual control over affected systems, thus compromising system security.
Moreover, it prevents users from accessing several antivirus and security Web sites by redirecting the connection to the local machine. It also terminates several processes.
This worm also downloads a file, which Trend Micro detects as TSPY_AGENT.H. This downloaded file then drops an adware Trend Micro detects as ADW_MEDTICKS.A.

Family Matters
Dr. Larry Larsen
---- — Dear Doctor,
Recently we read that the moon causes some mental illnesses. The study said they had proof. We have often thought our children were more active during a full moon. Is there any book you could recommend?
Dear Readers,
There is no book I would, nor could recommend.
The moon has been implicated or connected to human behavior since ancient times. Keep in mind the heavens caught the imagination of the ancients with the notion that they somehow controlled or predicted human behavior.
This view is still held by many today.
The moon, in particular, has been blamed for more negative acting out. Such terms as "lunatic" and "lunacy" are based on the Latin word for moon, Luna.
The recent study you mention has captured some press. I have not read the original text. Based upon what I have read, the study joins hundreds of others making similar claims.
For example, one study done in Connecticut some decades ago researched inmates behavior in a state hospital. It asserted that incidents of violent behavior increased with the full moon. The study was later not replicated. The behavior was more likely connected to the pay day for the staff.
The present study is flawed by an excluded middle design. If thee results were positively correlated with different phases of the moon and that with very significant results, then I would give the results a second look. The other factor is an intervening variable such as brighter nights and wakefulness.
Your children are more likely responding to you, not the moon. Sorry about that!
To the moon! Research is full of holes

ENID, Okla. — 11-man
Piedmont (0-0, 1-2) at Woodward (0-0, 2-1) — District 4A-1 opener for both teams. The Boomers have outscored opponents 131-48. Piedmont is coming off its first win of the season — 42-12 over Western Heights. Woodward has a 4-3 edge in the series since 2004, including a 28-7 victory last season.
Kingfisher (0-0, 3-0) at Heritage Hall (0-0, 1-2) — No. 2 vs. No. 10 in Class 3A in the District 3A-3 opener for both teams. The visiting Yellowjackets have won 13 straight regular season games dating back to a 35-27 loss to the Chargers in the 2011 season finale. The Chargers' two losses have come against Clinton, No. 3 in 4A, and Davis, No. 1, 2A. Kingfisher has allowed only 50.3 yards rushing per game. Heritage Hall leads the series 6-2, but Kingfisher won last year, 35-6.
Hennessey (2-1) at Tulsa NOAH — The visiting Eagles try to bounce back from last week's 31-0 shutout loss to Kingfisher last week and will be without quarterback Dylan Hatchel who is out for the season with a knee injury. Hennessey won the first-ever between the two schools 28-6 last season. NOAH is a home school team.
Fairview (0-0, 1-2) at Okeene (0-0, 2-1) — Okeene is ranked No. 7 in Class A. Fairview was in the top 10 this season, before back-to-back losses to Chisholm 14-6 and Tonkawa 17-7. Many feel this game could decide the District A-1 championship. Okeene leads the series 10-3 since 1970, but the Yellowjackets won the last meeting, 49-6 in 2012.
Carnegie (0-0, 0-3) at Crescent (0-0, 2-1) — District A-3 opener for both teams. Carnegie's three losses have come against 2-1 Hobart and 3-0 Apache and Thomas. Crescent looks to build on last week's 55-7 rout of Wellston.
Minco (0-0, 2-1) at Cashion (0-0, 2-1) —District A-3 opener for both teams. Cashion is ranked No. 9 in Class A, coming back from an opening game loss to Okeene. Minco has back-to-back wins over Wayne and Maysville after losing to Dibble in its opener.
Watonga (0-0, 2-1) at Crossings Christian (0-0, 2-1) — Watonga is riding a two-game winning streak, but both victories came against teams with 0-3 records — Burns Flat-Dill City (48-12) and Snyder (38-14). Crossings Christian fell to unbeaten Apache 41-10 last week for its first loss of the season. Watonga won the first-ever game between the two schools last year 39-8. District A-3 opener for both teams.
Burns Flat (0-0, 0-3) at Thomas (0-0, 3-0) — District A-2 opener for both teams. Thomas is ranked No. 1 in Class A.

Do you know why I keep getting "reblog failed" box when I click on the reblog? I'm using missing e. I wonder if it's interfering. You seem to have a handle on this new thing. UGh. It's like a whole new regeneration to get used to. :(
I think it's because of Missing E. If you dismiss the dialog box, you'll see the reblog field pops into place. You might want to turn off reblogging through Missing E until the extension is updated. Some of the other stuff, like this reply I'm doing to you, seems to be OK.

Last weekend, Farhad Mansourian was listening to a program in which five international experts were talking about the U.S. economy when they agreed that transit facilities were one of the main pillars to recovery.
That's when Mansourian, 57, decided to take the Sonoma-Marin Rail Transit authority up on its offer to become its general manager and plow through the that has plagued the commuter rail project.
SMART made the announcement Monday that the Novato resident will be the permanent replacement for Lilian Hames, from the post in January when the lack of available funds to build the system was becoming obvious. Mansourian, who spent 31 years working for the county of Marin, most recently as its public works director, and had spent the past three months as SMART's interim GM and trying to come up with trustworthy financial figures.
"With the support of the citizens, I think we can build this and give people a great new transportation alternative," he said.
SMART did not announce Mansourian's compensation, but the Marin Independent Journal reported that he would be paid $246,000 annually, about $39,000 more than his salary as public works chief. Hames was paid $176,000, according to SMART records.
The rail authority said its board reached a unanimous decision to hire Mansourian, who has overseen multimillion-dollar road, bridge and infrastructure projects. He managed the Marin County Transit Agency for 12 years and served as executive director of Marin's Congestion Management Agency for 14 years.
Marin County Supervisor and SMART board member Judy Arnold of Novato said asking Mansourian to take the job "is an example of the cooperation and goodwill between Sonoma and Marin, as well as total confidence in Farhad's ability to lead.
SMART was created in 2003 by the passage of a state bill by former Assemblyman Joe Nation to create a rail service between the two counties.
The voters of Marin and Sonoma passed a quarter-cent sales tax to fund the SMART service in 2008. Although the service is expected to ease traffic along Highway 101 and reduce greenhouse gases, many voters are upset that the line between Cloverdale and Larkspur has been scaled back to Santa Rosa-to-San Rafael.
According to Mansourian's latest estimate, the cost of the initial 37-mile operating segment is $359.9 million, and funding for it is estimated at $360.2 million. He said building the segment would provide nearly 1,000 jobs starting this fall.
Mansourian cannot expect a smooth public relations ride as the rail plan comes together. A campaign to rescind the quarter-cent sales tax and kill SMART is under way. A group called is attempting to gather 15,000 signatures within a six-month span to get the initiative placed on the June 2012 ballot. If successful, it would be the first time in state history that a special sales tax was rescinded by a voter initiative.
Mike Arnold, who has fought SMART and freight rail lines at public meetings for years, questioned the wisdom of Mansourian's hiring. He said all the people running systems such as BART, Cal Train and the metro service in Los Angeles are career railroad people.
"Ask the question, 'Why did they appoint a guy who doesn't have any experience running a rail authority?' That's the question. Duh!"
Mansourian said every massive public works project — from BART to the Golden Gate Bridge — has had detractors who have predicted failure.
"I think this is one of those crucial times for delivering for our future generations," he said. "All put together, this will be an intellectual challenge. I've never turned away from a good fight and a good challenge. I am committed to bringing SMART to reality with the commitment of a lot of good folks who voted for this."

Former JV coach to take over leading varsity girls basketball
- Last Updated on 07:59 AM 10/21/13
- BY Doug Ford
Former Halifax County High School jayvee boys and Northern Middle School (N.C.) boys basketball coach Wayne Murray has been selected to lead the Halifax County High School girls basketball program.
HCHS Principal Albert Randolph made the announcement Friday morning, with Murray emerging from a list of five candidates who interviewed for the position.
Murray served as head coach for the Halifax County High School jayvee boys basketball team from 2000-2005, and he coached middle school basketball at Northern High School in Roxboro (N.C.) in 2006.
Murray said Friday he'd been thinking about getting back into coaching for some time.
"I've had the kids talk to me about coaching and wanting me to get back into it," said Murray.
"The community support was there, and I've been interested in the past, but I never got the right paperwork to get to the interview process."
"I want to take the girls and bring success to the program," noted Murray.
"I want the girls back interested in playing, and I want the community back interested in coming to the ball games and watching the games."
Murray is aware that coaching girls is different from coaching boys.
"That was one of the questions they asked me," he pointed out.
"I'm at that point in my life now where I would accept the challenge.
"I know you have to talk to them differently, and the game is at a different pace, and it's different things the girls can do and the boys can't.
"Let's do the right things, win some games and be positive about the program again."
Murray coached jayvee boys when the varsity boys team was coached by Garrett Dillard, and he listed Dillard as a positive influence.
He's carried groups of kids to basketball camps at the University of Richmond and the Coach "K" camp at Duke several times.
Murray plans to coach to whatever talent he has on hand.
"I prefer if I have the talent to run a 1-3-1 defense and half court trap and try to speed the game up a little bit," said Murray.
"It all depends on the talent coming out, and who we're playing.
"I know it won't be an overnight process."
Murray is somewhat familiar with the girls basketball program at Halifax County High School, having already talked with jayvee girls Head Coach David Graham.
"I've talked to David Graham, and I know several of the girls," said Murray, who will retain current varsity assistant coach Jennifer Rutledge and add Suzanne Gasperini O'Hara to his staff.
O'Hara has basketball experience at both Halifax County High School and Meredith College.
Murray will meet with returning players and his coaching staff this week. Conditioning is already under way with Rutledge.
"He has some experience, and we like what we heard in the interview," said HCHS Athletic Director Allen Lawter.
He had a vision for girls basketball here in Halifax, and we knew he would work hard to turn our program around in a positive direction.
"We're excited for him to get started."

Death metal distortion
Can someone tell me which marshall makes the best Death metal distortion? :homer:
why marshall? im not saying their bad (i have a tsl works wonderfull) but you shouldnt just say you want a marshall and only a marshall try out other amps aswell. i ended with my marshall cause it was the best out of the ones i tried but thats personal preference and i didnt get to try all the heads i would have liked too. but the jcm 2000 tsl 100 is a killer head IMO, nile uses the dsl 100 and they have an awsome tone and imo the tsl blows the dsl away
Marshall's weren't made for Death metal, and I'm surprised Nile gets the sound they get outta them. Marshalls are kick ass, but when I tried them out, I couldnt really get a good death metal sound. Guess you really gotta crank them.
GEAR talk mofo.
which ones did you try out cc
which ever the 2000 one is.
and various other ones of which I dont remember. but I have tried the M4. Apparently the shockwave (which I own) is Crates answer to that.. I'd say the shockwave definitely won.
A cranked up JCM800 sounds fucking awesome.
then whys everyone complain about them bieng kinda weak in the distortion department
powertube saturation bud...
a lot of guys who use jcm 800's have the gain circuit modded. they also swap out the tubes. i have 2 marshall valvestate 100 heads. i actually prefer them to any of the other marshalls, including the 800 and t/dsl's. but the best amp i've ever used is a mesa rectifier. single, dual, triple. doesn't matter. they're great. the peavey xxx and 5150 are also good. it's cool if you want a marshall but if you're buying it for its name you should really think twice. there's better amps to be had.
i have a marshall valvestate but i need a fuse so ive never gotten to use it. but i want a mesa boogie triple rectifier.
nah G_D, the gear talks just a pretty face. ;)
yeah, a JCM800 would do the job nicely.
dear CANNIBALCORPS,
Marshall's weren't made for Death metal,
but chuck schuldiner use it..
DEATH :beer:
h4h4h4h4 kanible korps! u hav a pooey stinkerbutt and a wee-y stinkerdick u smellybottom!!! roflz got told by da newb!1/'
I thought stupid noobs would be the reason I'd leave this forum sooner or later, but if they can keep their replies this hilarious, I'm staying forever.
Where have you been man? I haven't seen ya for a while!
Eh? Me? I've been around. Not posting much though. Last few days I've been involved in a little bit of debating in the chitchat.
And in case you weren't talking to me, just forget this.
I was talking to you :D. I just haven't noticed you thats all.
what :confused:
you CAN use them for death metal, but theres other amps that suit death metal better.
The JCM 800 is more of a clean sounding ac/dc type amp sound with it just being stock. Some people modify their JCM 800 head to get more distortion out of it or they just use a distortion pedal.
The thing with tube amps is they all sound a little different even when you buy the same model that someone else has. And that being said it depends on what you are running through them too ( guitar,Pickups etc.)
The best sound that I have gotten from a JCM 800 for DEATH METAL is a line 6 uber metal pedal with the insane drive or a metal zone. Or maybe even a line 6 pod. An EQ or even a sonic maximizer in the effects loop will always make things sound better.
The best amp I have played on for death metal to me so far
Just pluggin straight in to it for the distortion is a AMPEG 140ch head.
Its not tube but to me with a sonic maximizer in the effects loop it sounds awesome!!!!!! I never liked tube distortion. I like the power that they can push out and would use one for the power and run a pedal into it. :sickface:

SUPERS Revised Edition
Michael S.
Verifizierter Käufer
Hinzugefügt am: 06/26/2014 09:22:54
As a long time fan of the SUPERS! system, SUPERS! Revised Edition is a light-year advance. Rules have been strutured and orgainized in a manner that greatly clarifies their execution and the numerous examples only enhance the user's understanding of the depth that this system can provide. Addition of random character development rules provides a nice and quick means of opponent generation. For us old school "cardbord counter and hex board" folks, the addtional rules on miniature play were icing on the top of a great game.

I like the game, its nice and simple but the lack of any real villains and the ability to get a POD of the book kinda leaves it as a secondary system too me so far. The layout and read so far seems overall nicely done but as far as a go to game for super heroes, well untill I can get a hard copy book in my hands it makes it difficult to use at the table as a pdf for that.

Zenith Comics Presents: Supervillains (ICONS)

This was a very solid product for the ICONS Superhero RPG. I know, I've been collecting them like mad recently, but this was a rare find which I felt I had to comment on. I could not have been more pleased with the product, especially for the price. The e-file consists of a description and history, a good illustration or two, as well as the needed ICONS statistic block for ten very interesting and varried characters. (Oh, eleven. I forgot they included a certain DC Bug ripoff.) They even include standees and proportional character squares as well as square markers for shadows and ice especially for two of their characters. These characters were easily the equal of most of the ICONS own published characters with the one exception that the illustrations were not quite as slick, though they were still very Silver Age in their vibrant color scheme. The illustrations provided were very fine for the product, though. This wasn't a bad detraction for me just a notable difference between the lines.
Spoilers ahead. I'm going to hint upon a few of the characters I thought were interesting. They have an adorably huge gargoyle... you can see a Frankenstien episode welling up in his eyes. They have a creepy charater similar to Cloak from Cloak and Dagger. They include the best stats I have yet seen for an ICONS werewolf. Oh and my favorite. They have this hulking badguy with mechanics where he gets a 'high' and physically heals by inflicting damage on people. Just imagine for a moment how fun such a badguy would be to play. What kind of fun things would a superpowered, tweaked off bully have to say while hes tossing around heroes with a Strength of 9? "Fore." I hate his illustration, ugly tights, so I'd have to give him a different description but keep the bloody skull symbol on his chest... probably painted on by his own hand Joker style. See now why you have to have this product for the mere price of a dollar.
I looked over the Hazard Studio line, it seems they are supporting several superheroe rpg systems, including their own called SUPERS! as well as V&V and BASH! I hope they release more ICONS material. I would buy anything else they published along these same lines and price range. Keep up the wonderful work, Zenith Comics and Hazard Studio.

Doesn't seem to hard to play or GM. Some very simple rules, comes with a few pre-gen characters all ready to go for the trial scenario provided in the quick start. Seems like a very open system that allows for some open game play fun. Reminds me of Mutants and Masterminds.

This looks like a fun game, but I am giving a low rating because the "quick start rules" are not quite complete enough to really play. Generally I would like a bit more than a description and some basic characters. More game mechanic would have really helped!

Awesome set.

This set includes quick-starts for a number of products.
This should add a few hours to my reading for sure.
It was nice to see some fairly mainstream titles added to this set.

Extremely useable and rather well-written roster book. There are two pages of background material and GM-ing advice for each of the bad guys, making this supplement useful to any GM, no matter what superhero RPG system they are currently running. Great job, and highly recommended.

SUPERS! The Comic Book RPG
Stephen J.
[Häufiger Rezensent]
Hinzugefügt am: 09/24/2012 17:05:43
Growing up, my brother and I didn't learn RPG's through the traditional fantasy route; we played sci-fi and superhero games. That's why I've always had a soft spot for superhero RPG's, why I own many more than I'll ever get to play, and why I wanted to review "Supers! The Comic Book RPG".
As a product, Supers! is a 105 page watermarked PDF file. [I received two files zipped together, but I could not tell the difference. They both appeared to have color art and the same section index.] The artwork and titles are genre appropriate; the single column format and page size (European A5) make it easy to read on-screen. Though I'm using a laptop, I imagine a tablet computer in portrait (vertical) orientation would be ideal.
There are bookmarks in the PDF for each section heading. There is a table of contents in the front, but it does not hyperlink to the chapters or sections it describes. A more significant oversight was that the list of powers, advantages and disadvantages at the end of the document do not hyperlink to the relevant descriptions in the body of the document. The page would be useful to print out and distribute or stuff into a GM screen, but it would have been much more useful if it linked back to each power's description, etc.
On, to the contents ...
Chapter One - For Starters (pg 1)
As anyone who's read comics over the last few decades can attest, they vary wildly in morality and theme. To set the type of comic story that Supers! was written to tell, we have the following quote from page 2, "These heroes are larger-than-life; they have high ideals and they know right from wrong. Their world is black-and-white; they are good and the villains are bad. There are no real grey areas. Their cause is justice, liberty and freedom. They seek to protect the weak and defend the common man." So this isn't a game of ultra-violent antihero's or ethically suspect protagonists in a fallen world of compromise and vice. Instead, the authors have aimed squarely at the four color world of good guys and gals fighting for what they believe in, in a world still worth saving!
The system uses a pool of six sider's (d6). From page 3, "The basics of the rules are very straightforward - roll a few dice and try to beat a number. As long as you remember that, you can't go too far wrong."
The stated philosophy is simplicity of rules, in a supers game (no easy task). Again, from page 3, "... there is plenty of scope for you to come up with new or changed rules, new Aptitudes, Powers, Complications and Boosts, Ads and Disads. So that's great - it's your game and you should do things your way." So while the book covers the majority of cases and powers, the authors realize it's not comprehensive and empower the GM's (or "Judge's" as the book refers to them) to improvise as needed, using what's here as a basis.
Chapter Two - Creating a Super (pg 4)
You begin with a concept, including a background, origin, and costume. It's noted on page 5 that if you don't have a full background you can still proceed with the character because, "If it becomes important during the game, you can fill in these details at that time."
Then you assign dice to your four Resistances: Composure, Fortitude, Reaction and Will. Like the name implies, these are used to resist external effects and also are what damage is applied against during combat. This means that social combat is applied against Composure - not something often seen in superhero games.
After Resistances come Aptitudes (rated in dice), described on page 7 as, "essentially very broad, but mundane, skill packages. Aptitudes represent your character's day job, or what he does when he's not saving the world." Examples include Academia, Investigation, and Vehicles.
Next comes Powers, also rated in dice. These are the sort of meat-and-potato's of any super's game and the list provided in Supers! is more than adequate for nearly all four color stories. Acknowledging that their list is not comprehensive, Judge's are encouraged to use the powers available as a basis for other powers as needed.
I would like to note that the table for how much a super can lift is part of the Super Strength entry on page 20. The table ranges from 1D can lift a large horse, 5D can lift a bus, and 10D can lift a large passenger jet.
You can add a Complication to your power to reduce its cost; things like Delayed Use, Side Effect, and Uncontrollable. You can add Boosts to a power to increase it's effect; things like Area Affect, Split Attack, and Armour Piercing.
You can also use Advantages (Ads) and Disadvantages (Disads) to customize your character. Examples of Ads include Allies or Dumb Luck. Examples of Disads include having a Dependant or Enemy.
Chapter Three - Playing the Game (pg 34)
Conflict resolution is divided into opposed and unopposed rolls. Opposed rolls are against another character or NPC; both roll their d6's and the higher value wins. Unopposed rolls are made against a static threshold number assigned by the GM. This is all pretty standard stuff, except that there is a limitation on non-Super Resistances and Aptitudes. Basically, unless it's specifically noted as super, you only get 3D. If you have a specialty that applies, you can roll 4D and keep the highest 3 dice. In order to sum more than 3D you need to be Super, which usually means a Power.
Character advancement is handled by the Judge awarding dice for the players to assign to Resistances, Aptitudes, or Powers. This works just like XP in other games.
Chapter Four - Fighting (pg 38)
It should be pointed out that henchmen and mooks just get a static number that represents their effectiveness as well as their resistance. Tougher henchmen may get a single power or ability as well as their henchmen rating. Only full NPC's get all four Resistances and their own set of Powers. Among other things, this makes fights between one or two superhero's and a group of henchmen, very easy to run while still being challenging - but never getting bogged down in endless accounting.
Combat order is determined by Reaction (or the Rating of henchmen and mooks). Characters can delay actions or even interrupt the action of a villain who goes after them in the turn order.
You choose a Power or Aptitude to attack with and the defender gets to choose a Power or Resistance to defend with. The Judge can determine if the chosen Power/Aptitude/Resistance makes sense within context of the scene. Basically whoever rolled higher (or beat the Rating in the case of henchmen and mooks) wins. If the attacker wins, damage is done to the defender, otherwise not.
The number of multiples higher the attacker's roll is than the defenders determines how much damage was done; with a minimum of 1. So, if the attacker rolled a 5 and the defender rolled 3, then the attacker succeeded and damaged the defender. 5 is greater than 3 but less than 2x greater - so 1 damage is applied to the defender. If the attacker had rolled 6, 7, or 8 then 2 damage would have been done. If the attacker had rolled 9, 10, or 11 then 3 damage, etc. etc. etc. This has me a little concerned for ease of use at the table; long division never being anyones favorite. But it's not hard to understand and makes sense within the context.
I guess I'd just have to see how easily this plays with real players, perhaps after a couple of hours when everyone begins to wind down for the night.
There is a for-color-only knock-back rule on page 44; every point of damage applied to Fortitude knocks the target back 5 feet. There is no mechanical advantage or subsequent damage, but it's a good way for moving or removing a foe!
Chapter Five - NPC Types (pg 47)
A nice description is given of Bystanders, Mooks, Henchmen, & Villains. Including low-level villains, (regular?) villains, and mega-villains. The brief descriptions are supplemented with guidelines for how many dice to assign or where to place their Ratings.
Chapter Six - Disasters (pg 51)
This chapter covers earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms, volcanoes, and fires. It was very refreshing to see a superhero game address this aspect of classic comic books. Not every threat is a villain, and therefore not every problem can be solved by a punch to the face!
Chapter Seven - Supersville (pg 57)
This is the included setting, but it's only meant to be a "blank slate" for the Judge to locate within their own world. This section can act as a skeleton covering things like different sections of the city (from the wealthy of Brightside to the poor and unwelcome of Burnside), as well as organizations, buildings, and potential story seeds.
Honestly, I wouldn't even use the name "Supersville" because it's too corny, but the chapter will help a Judge cover the basics needed in describing whatever city they have planned for their intrepid hero's to inhabit. If you're familiar with comics, you probably already have plenty of ideas to fill it out.
Chapter Eight - Adventure (pg 65)
This is the introductory adventure to get the hero's going. As such, I'm not entirely sure it would have been my first choice. It has to do with dopplegangers damaging the hero's reputation and the hero's efforts to find the source of the doppelgangers and clear their names. This seems like it would work better after the hero's have had a chance to build a reputation in Supersville.
In any case, the adventure highlights the super-science, two-fisted action story that's perfect for these types of hero's. Whether you choose to use it as the first adventure for your hero's or not, it should definitely serve to inspire an equally large, grandiose feel that four color comics often had.
Chapter Nine - NPC Collection (pg 71)
This is a set of 27 hero's, villains, and NPC's that can be used right out of the gate. These include a sample set of hero's appropriate for a starting game (Dragster, Gemini, Megalith), as well as examples of more powerful hero's similar to those in certain popular comic books (Guardian, Galaxian).
My personal favorite is Apebot, the mega villain. He's a skull and brain in a glass tank, bolted atop a power-armoured gorilla. What's not to love!
After the NPC section is a blank character sheet. It's one sheet with plenty of white-space and a generous box for drawing your character in.
The book ends with a "Cheat Sheet Of Powers, Boosts & Complications, Ads & Disads" on the last page.
I believe the book meets the authors stated goal of keeping the rules simple, but not losing the four color feel they were aiming for. There should be enough crunch with the Powers, Complications and Boosts to keep the munchkins happy (at least for a while) and the resolution system is so simple that it can probably be explained in less than 10 minutes. I think I'm going to use Supers! for a convention game, with pre-made PC's. But, with the character advancement rules I believe that it can successfully be used for longer campaigns.
Among other things, I hope to see more releases of Supers! - perhaps with better hyperlinking, but hopefully with more NPC's and another scenario.
If you already have a favorite superhero game, I'm not convinced that Supers! will replace it. But if you're looking for an easy to learn, easy to teach game that exemplifies the simpler ethics of four color comics - than this would make a good addition to your library.

Type Casting Mind Force is a short .pdf of 5 different types of mental archetypes. The artwork is honestly not the best, but it does get the point across without being terrible. Each of the five archetypes has a 30 point and a 25 point build. Each archetypes also has a short list of variations to change the build a little. Great for ideas, a couple of these are going to make an appearance in my game. All in all I'm happy with my purchase.

2012 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks
These 2012 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings will be updated often throughout the summer, so make sure you check back from time to time. Also, be sure to check out my other 2012 Fantasy Football articles, which will include sleepers, busts, tons of 2012 Fantasy Football mock drafts and other material. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
2012 Fantasy Football Rankings - Quarterbacks (Sept. 2):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-35
- Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers. Bye: 10.
Aaron Rodgers should be the consensus No. 1 quarterback. He posts top passing numbers like the other elite signal-callers, but unlike Tom Brady and Drew Brees, Rodgers picks up a good chunk of rushing yardage, which gives him the edge at this position. Rodgers has 16 rushing touchdowns in the past four seasons. In that span, Brady has five, while Brees has three.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,400 passing yards. 39 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 275 rushing yards. 4 rushing TDs.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 367.
- Tom Brady, QB, Patriots. Bye: 9.
Tom Brady is at the top of his game right now, utilizing his two talented tight ends to near perfection. Brady threw for an all-time second-best 5,235 yards last year, and now he'll have Brandon Lloyd as a new threat at receiver. Jabar Gaffney should also be a decent safety valve.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 5,000 passing yards. 39 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 90 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 355.
- Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Bye: 6.
AUG. 26 UPDATE: Drew Brees was incredibly sharp versus the Texans, going 17-of-25 for 179 yards and two touchdowns. What those numbers don't include are a pair of drops, a pass-interference penalty drawn by Jimmy Graham and a 57-yard completion to Graham that was wiped out by an illegal-touching infraction. It does not look like Brees will be slumping this year because of Bountygate.
JULY 19 UPDATE: Drew Brees' holdout is over. He signed a long-term deal with the Saints, so there will be no monetary distraction.
Drew Brees is obviously a Pro Bowl talent, but there are two concerns with him. First, Sean Payton's year-long suspension could be damaging. Not to Brees himself - he thrived last year when Payton suffered that bizarre sideline knee injury - but to the team in general. The Saints could be in disarray, which will impact Brees' numbers. Second, Brees is in a contract dispute. He'll probably get a contract prior to training camp, but if not, he'll hold out. Players who hold out usually tend to struggle.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,900 passing yards. 37 passing TDs. 14 INTs. 60 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 328.
- Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions. Bye: 5.
AUG. 18 UPDATE: Detroit looked downright lethal versus Baltimore, as Matthew Stafford went 12-of-17 for 184 yards and two touchdowns in less than a half of action. This was highlighted by a beautiful 57-yard bomb to Calvin Johnson in the second quarter. Ser Stafford's only poor throw was a near-pick when he targeted Brandon Pettigrew. He was pretty flawless otherwise. He should be the fourth quarterback off the board in fantasy drafts.
Ah, so that's what happens when Matthew Stafford stays healthy for 16 games. All Ser Stafford did was throw for 5,038 yards and 41 touchdowns. He's a stud.
Having said that, I am slightly down on him this year. He's only played a full season one out of three times, so asking him to do so again could be too much. Also, if you believe in the Madden Curse like me, you're concerned that Calvin Johnson could injure himself by slipping on a McDonald's bag or drinking too much Diet Double Drew, or something.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,740 passing yards. 34 passing TDs. 15 INTs. 60 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 307.
- Cam Newton, QB, Panthers. Bye: 6.
AUG. 18 UPDATE: Cam Newton couldn't get anything going last week because he constantly had Houston defenders in his face. Things were much easier this time because the Dolphins couldn't put any pressure on him. Newton was brilliant as a result, going 8-of-11 for 119 yards and a touchdown. This doesn't even include a 39-yard pass-interference flag on Sean Smith, who mugged Steve Smith downfield. There was also 29-yard gain to DeAngelo Williams on a screen that was nullified because Brandon LaFell blocked illegally downfield.
Everyone was wrong about this guy. Here's what I wrote last year: "Cam Newton will struggle, as most rookie quarterbacks do. He does have some value in fantasy, however, because of his ability to put up decent rushing numbers. Vince Young threw for just 2,199 yards and 12 touchdowns in his rookie career, but made up for it with 552 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. I feel like that's a good barometer for Newton's 2012 campaign."
All Newton did was shatter records held by Peyton Manning and other great quarterbacks. Newton could suffer a sophomore slump though. Consider that he threw for 208 yards or fewer in five of his final six games.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 3,750 passing yards. 23 passing TDs. 17 INTs. 550 rushing yards. 7 rushing TDs.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 305.
- Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons. Bye: 7.
AUG. 17 UPDATE: Matt Ryan finished 18-of-21 for 174 yards and one touchdown in less than a half of work against the Bengals. He threw just one bad pass, which was an overthrow to Julio Jones for what could have been a 41-yard touchdown in the middle of the second quarter. Still, it's remarkable that he was on a 400-yard pace despite poor play from his offensive line. He's a strong third-tier quarterback this year.
AUG. 10 UPDATE: Matt Ryan was on fire versus Baltimore's defense in the preseason opener. He went 9-of-13 for 155 yards, one touchdown and a pick in just one quarter of work. The interception was bad; he stared down Roddy White deep in Ravens' territory. He was flawless otherwise though and looked like he was made for Dirk Koetter's offense. Ryan is definitely right with Eli Manning, Tony Romo and Philip Rivers as one of the third-tier quarterbacks.
There's a buy-low opportunity here for Matt Ryan. Everyone expected Ryan to have a huge 2011 campaign. He certainly wasn't bad, throwing for 4,177 yards and 29 touchdowns, but most thought he'd post greater numbers. Plus, many won't be able to block out the image of Ryan failing to put up any points against the Giants in the playoffs.
Ryan should have his best season yet. The Falcons spent two Day 2 selections on offensive linemen, while Julio Jones will be more effective as an NFL sophomore.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,480 passing yards. 30 passing TDs. 13 INTs. 80 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 287.
- Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys. Bye: 5.
AUG. 27 UPDATE: Despite missing Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and Miles Austin-Jones, Tony Romo was perfect against the Rams. Literally perfect. He went 9-of-13 for 198 yards and two touchdowns in just one quarter of action. A pair of his incompletions were dropped (John Phillips, Kevin Ogletree), while the other two were thrown away. Romo hit wideout Dwayne Harris for touchdown bombs of 61 and 38 yards. He's firmly locked in as a third-tier fantasy quarterback, alongside Matt Ryan, Eli Manning and perhaps Philip Rivers.
AUG. 20 UPDATE: With Miles Austin-Jones and Jason Witten potentially set to miss the first couple of games, Tony Romo's projected stats have to decrease.
I was glad when I heard Tony Romo declined an invitation to participate in some random golf tournament this year. He's always done this, which prompted many, including myself, to question his dedication to football. He'll actually be concentrating on football now, so that's a plus.
Romo is still a strong QB1. He lost Laurent Robinson, but Miles Austin-Jones will be healthy this year. Those things should offset each other, so if Dez Bryant can take a step forward, Romo should have his best season yet.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,380 passing yards. 31 passing TDs. 12 INTs. 50 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 286.
- Eli Manning, QB, Giants. Bye: 11.
AUG. 25 UPDATE: Eli Manning was incredibly sharp against the Bears, going 17-of-21 for 148 yards and a touchdown despite once again missing Hakeem Nicks' services. He was pretty much perfect; a couple of incompletions were thrown away, while another one was a Victor Cruz drop on what would have moved the chains on third down.
So, that's why Eli Manning said that he's an elite quarterback. Eli threw for 4,933 yards and 29 touchdowns during his second Super Bowl campaign. It's unlikely he'll be able to match the yardage numbers in 2012, especially with Mario Manningham gone. However, Brandon Jacobs is also history, so Eli will be asked to do more in the red zone.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,550 passing yards. 31 passing TDs. 15 INTs. 30 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 285.
- Philip Rivers, QB, Chargers. Bye: 7.
AUG. 31 UPDATE: Philip Rivers went 8-of-10 for 89 yards and an interception in the preseason finale against San Francisco's reserves. The pick was quite puzzling. He made a horrible decision by trying to fit the ball into Malcom Floyd and was consequently picked off by a backup safety. Rivers is going to throw a ton of interceptions this year. Downgrade him if your league subtracts two points for picks.
Philip Rivers denies it for some reason because he doesn't want to make an excuse, but he was hurt all of last year. He'd be a nice bounce-back candidate if he didn't lose his No. 1 receiver, Vincent Jackson, to the Buccaneers. Still, Rivers is a strong QB1 because of his unbelievable talent. He has played well without Jackson before, and should be able to do so again.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,600 passing yards. 30 passing TDs. 19 INTs. 50 rushing yards. 1 rushing TD.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 277.
- Peyton Manning, QB, Broncos. Bye: 7.
AUG. 27 UPDATE: Manning finished 10-of-12 for 122 yards and two touchdowns in just one quarter of work versus San Francisco. He had just one true misfire; the other was a Joel Dreessen drop. It must be noted that the 49ers were missing some key defensive personnel, but it was still encouraging to see Manning bounce back after getting hit hard. He responded with a completion to Willis McGahee and an ensuing touchdown to Eric Decker. There's still a bit of a concern about if his neck can hold up the whole season, but Manning can be drafted as a lower-end QB1. The problem is that he's being taken much earlier than that. He went in the fourth round of one of my fantasy drafts this past weekend, which is just way too early.
AUG. 23 UPDATE: Multiple reports from ESPN and Scouts Inc. indicate that Peyton Manning has had major issues throwing to his right for more than 10 yards. This is obviously bad news for Manning's fantasy potential. While he could heal and become a low-end QB1, he's just going way too early in fantasy drafts. Stay away from him unless he falls to about Round 9-10.
Peyton Manning is a very risky fantasy player. On one hand, if he's close to 100 percent, he'll be a steal in Round 4 or 5, or wherever he goes. If he's not, he'll be a wasted, early-round pick.
I wouldn't trust Manning enough to take him in the first five rounds. He's had multiple neck procedures, and he already showed signs of erosion in 2010. He also has a brand-new supporting cast that he has to get used to. Oh, and he hasn't been as effective outdoors, so he has to get used to playing in the elements every week.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Stats: 4,200 passing yards. 34 passing TDs. 15 INTs. 20 rushing yards. 0 rushing TDs.
Projected 2012 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 276.

I just don't believe in Tim Tebow, and I add to the fact that The NFL has had the offseason to scout him. I liken this to a young hitter or pitcher who the MLB catches up to. I think teams will look at how the Bills dealt with him, and force him to do things that he is uncomfortable doing, mostly making sure the Defensive Line doesn't over pursue. He made a lot of clutch plays, and he does have a good mentality. I haven't seen him in the pre-season, but the reports I've heard aren't great. All QBs have the capacity to improve in the pre-season.
I think Fitzy for the Bills, really improved his arm strength in the offseason last year and he seems to be able to get the ball out and deep so long as his sternum isn't broken and Freddie Jackson needs to stay healthy to balance the offense. Freddie is their third best receiver, and CJ is fine, but Freddie is a big time player, and yes he is getting older. He just runs with violence.
The Bills still haven't found their second go to receiver, but it's important to note that the Bills use multiple receiver sets more then any other team in the NFL. Fitzy trusts Stevie, Nelson, Chandler, Freddie, and I think, and this is a hunch Derek Hagen is going to have a breakout of the pack. Marcus Easley is fading. the game against the Steelers will tell the truth about the receivers pecking order. I am surprised that their new LT Glenn, can't get low or bend, but is still so massive and quick footed that his blind side protection has been really good. The interior linemen have looked kind of sketchy, they haven't run the ball well. The should be in shape now that camp is over.
I really like the Bills Linebackers, they seem to have depth and FAs like McKillop will be hard to cut. I have also liked how Merriman has looked, he has added some weight, it seems, to be a pure pass down DE, having Anderson, Merriman and Williams should help their sore spot. Cornerback
The Bills Corners are terrible, Gilmour is good, but a rookie, the rest look McAuful. Aaron Williams looks like he hasn't made the conversion from Safety to Corner totally, and is going to get beaten deep unless he has over the top help.
Jairus Byrd looks great, Da'Norris Searcy and Wilson are adequate, the have some sleepers at safety, and one will make the team. I wouldn't be surprised if McKelvin gets cut, and the Bills look to the Street for a corner.
Tyler Thigpen is horrible, needs to be cut. Vince Young seems service-able. One play he will make a brilliant throw, the next he will put no air on a long ball and over throw a wide open receiver. He does love to pull the ball down and run, the guy cannot read defenses, he's poor wunderlic score are scary. He is still way better then Thigpen. Young's confidence helps him.
So, I will know more after the third pre-season game, the game that everyone cares about, as the starters play more reps, but they look like an 8-8 team, and if healthy and the Jets tank, will be in the hunt for a wildcard. They have a good offensive and defensive system...I just worry about their corners, which is no big deal in the all passing NFL right? lol. :/

Just another talking head regurgitating inaccurate info. I can't say I blame you since even the majority of chiefs fans don't like matt cassell. Keep in mind that 2008 he had a pretty decent year also....when he was surrounded by a talented offensive group. No one will confuse Matt with Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, but he will be surrounded by quite possibly the most talented supporting cast he has EVER had....including his 1 year actually playing with the pats. You apparently haven't watched either of the preseason games the chiefs have played, because he has looked like the best, most consistent player on the chiefs throughout both of those games. I'm not saying he will crack the top 5 in fantasy points, BUT I guarantee he will score more points than half the guys you have him rated behind....especially now that Bowe is in camp. Why don't you try watching the players you rate....or at least check out the preseason stats before you write something that makes you look like you don't know what your writing about.

So you think it is impossible for him to change as a person? Have you ever considered that he was introduced to dog fighting since he was 5 by his dad. He did some terrible things but he spent 2 YEARS in jail. People like you are actually what's wrong with the world because you always think the worst of people even if they are trying to be a better person. Another thing that is wrong with you is that you have now accused him of being a serial killer? He was actually the ring leader and he didn't take part in most of the fights so keep trying to play it up. He spent a long time in jail and it is pretty obvious that he has changed. If you want to go through life believing everybody who does bad things will always be a bad person then go ahead but not everyone has to be that way. I'm not being naive because I didn't forgive him right away. It took a few years but now it is clear to me and to most others that he is not the same person he once was.

"he's changed as a person"? How exactly do you know that? Cause he hasn't been caught slaughtering dogs again? Do you know him personally? People like you are what's wrong with the world. Just because hes good at football and you like watching him play doesn't make him a decent person. He was torturing animals. He wasn't just letting them fight (bad enough), and he was just killing the leftovers (ya know, with a more humane gun shot or something)...he was torturing them. You don't do that unless you enjoy it. You don't enjoy it unless youre a pspciopath. It's scary that you don't even know the guy, probably don't know the details of what he did, but youre naive enough to think he's changed. Serial killers start by torturing animals. There's a link. If you enjoy animal torture (which #7 clearly does) then you could murder someone. If #7 didn't have a skill set that nets him millions I have no doubt he'd be in prison. So you keep deluding yourself into what a great "changed" man he is because he acts humble on camera.

The reason Andy Dalton averaged very few passing yards the last 5 weeks is because he was a rookie facing very good defenses. He will not have a sophomore slump and I have no idea what would make you think that. You always have negative stuff to say about the Bengals. And stop with the Qb Eagles 7 crap. His name is Michael VIck and maybe you should call him that. He has changed as a person and if you are still denying that then you are truly a hater.

If you loved American Pie, then you'll appreciate the homecoming of Jim Levenstein and his buddies of 1999 in the new Universal Pictures release American Reunion.
But if you're looking for something more substantial now that you're an adult—don't bother. Reunion, just like previous movies in the series, is just as dirty as the original and is better suited for teenage boys.
The nearest theater to La Jolla featuring the film is the on Villa La Jolla Drive .
Reunion brings back the same cast of the American Pie in the same gross, bizarre and ridiculous tone that won over teen boys 13 years ago. And just like the first movie, Reunion doesn't carry the astute silliness of other movies in the same genre.
The movie tells the story of Jim (Jason Biggs) and friends' return to East Great Falls for their 13-year-high school reunion (apparently, 13 years was more doable than 10 years)—highlighting their sexual and complicated relationships as adults.
Jim still has issues with sex, but this time with his now wife and baby mama Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) while Oz (Chris Klein) is now a sports anchor/celeb dealing with a senseless girlfriend, Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) who is still sophisticated in his own right and is secretly in retail and Stifler (Sean William Scott) who can only be described as still Stifler.
The movie is topped off with Vicky (Tara Reid) and Heather (Mena Suvari), who are still as sweet and all-American as they were in 1999 but with little to say in the Reunion.
With few standout scenes other than the crude minutes where Stifler drops a deuce in a cooler in an act of revenge toward teen boys—it's hard to understand why the creators of the movie decided to bring back the boys of East Great Falls. Especially when they could've worked on the piece for an additional two years to make it a realistic 15-year reunion.
Although the movie falls short of genuine comedic wit, it did highlight the understanding charm of Jim's father Noah (Eugene Levy) who is now a grieving widower looking to get back into the dating scene.
The movie, written by Harold and Kumar's Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, simply does not deliver—on any level unless you're a teenage boy or an adult with the tastes of a teenage boy.
So is reliving the awkwardness of the American Pie boys worth another go-round? For a woman like me, no. But it could be someone else's brand of humor—like a teenage boy.
American Reunion opened Friday and is rated MPAA.

Belfire Press was born of many conversations, much like the beginning of The New Bedlam Project. We bounced the ideas and plans off a couple of authors we'd worked with in the past and present. The answers to 'Can we do it? Should we do it?' were a resounding Yes.
On October 31st 2009, we announced the formation of Belfire Press, a micro-press owned and operated by a crazy Canadian, backed by a handful of other crazy Canadians. Our first title released April 1st, 2010, followed by our grand opening and launch novel on May 1st.
Since then, we've gone on to establish a poetry imprint and move the webzine into a yearly anthology.
Belfire seeks to publish novels, works of non-fiction and the occasional anthology or collection in both print and e-book. For our print titles, we use print on demand; for e-books, we distribute through Smashwords, and separately through Kindle.
Our titles are available through CreateSpace, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other outlets as we add them to the distribution list. Links for purchase are included on each title page.
Authors with accepted titles can expect two rounds of edits – a thorough, cooperative substantive edit followed by a copyedit and author proof. Our editors will work with the author to make the editing process a relatively pleasant experience. An exclusive cover will be designed by either a member of our staff, or we will sub-contract to a noted cover artist with whom we've worked before.
We now provide review copies in electronic formats only, to those who request them (and provide a reference to past reviews).
Belfire Press has specific genres we seek to publish, and are certainly interested in those referred to as 'cross-genre.' For novels of other genres not listed in our guidelines, we've listed a handful of other small press companies that do look for them.

It's absolutely shocking, mindblowing news. To a squirrel.
CONAN: This is a piece where we read 100% real breaking news stories to a squirrel. Our top story, north Korea announced they are working on a long range rocket that can reach the United States. [Laughter] ANDY: Also, 65-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to do a new terminator film. CONAN: A source at the White House confirms that Joe Biden is thinking of running for president in 2016. And finally, scientists have discovered a strong link between nuts and squirrel cancer.

My heart has been heavy some this week over the matter of injustice.
Whether bullying at school, or bullying by someone stronger or more powerful, I know the good Lord looks out for the "least of these," and the meek "shall inherit the earth."
As I have reminded several friends just this week, each in different trials and situations, God is our vindicator. Just because we let something go, or choose not to react, doesn't mean we are a victim.
The scriptures and devotionals I read state that we are to continue going about our work, doing it to please only God, and He will take care of our needs.
It can be a very hurtful feeling when you are wronged. When by no action of your own, you are maligned or harmed in some way. The Bible teaches we are not to spend time plotting or planning revenge, but are to ask for the blood of Jesus to heal our pain, and make us whole again.
My late friend Major Chuck Anderson was on my mind again this morning. I think of him often. No, I didn't know him for a very long time. We didn't spend large blocks of time in one another's company.
But Chuck had a profound effect on my heart, just in the short time I knew him. He was hammered by adversity. Pummeled with pain. But despite those attacks by Satan on he and the members of his family, he continued doing God's work. He had a heart for hurting people you don't run across every day.
He knew our economy was getting bad, and was hurtling toward getting much worse. Those days are here now. Rather than indulge in waste and frivolity, he wanted the churches and social service agencies of this city to be proactive and prepared to help those who would pack the food pantry, the Salvation Army, Family Service, looking for help.
Reports from those places in recent months have suggested there are families being helped who've never had to ask for assistance before. There are many more families out there who are just one illness, one broken car, one tragedy away from losing everything, because they live paycheck to paycheck. I believe the numbers of those families are increasing, not decreasing.
I'm praying for a return to Major Chuck's way of thinking. I'm praying for an individual who possibly feels God calling him/her to speak up for "the least of these." I'm praying for a soul who is courageous enough to stand up and speak out on injustice.
And until that day, I go about my work, knowing God is our vindicator.
If you haven't already, please make plans to attend the benefit softball tournament at Lake Halbert Park tomorrow for Crystal Shepherd.
Crystal is one of those dear people like Major Chuck who has devoted her life to helping those in need. Those who have been hit hard by life's tragedies and have trouble getting back up.
Now she and her family have been hit by one of those, and I for one am going out to support her, support them, so she can get back to work putting her fingerprint on the efforts in this county to help the hurting.

The dumbing down of Minnesota continues apace. Generally seen in state politics, it is now destroying our collective arts icon — The Minnesota Orchestra.
This group was set to attain greatness beyond that of its predecessor, The Minneapolis Symphony, due in no small measure to an extraordinary music director.
In the face of this, the board's initial financial offer was a bloody insult, setting the stage for the bitterness and for the lockout.
Too many musicians have already left, logically finding places where they will be appreciated.
I haven't been to Orchestra Hall (I preferred Northrop Auditorium) for a long time. Does the outside still look like the deck of a tramp steamer?
Never mind, the renovation inside will make us feel better. But what kind of shadow ensemble will appear on stage?
