SAGA Houserules
Here is a listing of houserules I would use for the StarWars SAGA Edition RPG. This listing my be extensive but doesn't cover everything and also does not cover clarifications or rule interpretations.
Ability Scores
Characters that start in non-heroic use planned generation using 15 points to determine starting array.
Special: For solo storylines a PC may be allowed bonus points to buy stats ranging from +4 to +8.
Special: Stock Droids may vary from these norms for various reasons. NPC abilities may also vary +/- 4 points.
Species given a "PC write-up" may be selected as PC races but a GM may restrict species based on campaign setting. Other species including those with a NPC write-up may be selected with GM approval.
Yuuzhan Vong do receive Force Points equal to 3 + ½ heroic level each time they level in a heroic class. They however may NOT take Force Sensitivity and are restricted like droids when it comes to how they can spend those points. Reason: the Vong Force Immunity in no way makes up for this lack of a vital game resource.
All base classes add "Skill Training" as a starting feat; non-heroic adds one starting feat which must be Skill Training.
All classes gain one fewer trained skill at first level; if trained skills + INT modifier is zero or lower they start with no trained skills instead of the minimum of one which is now the additional Skill Training starting feat.
Reason: This makes "Skill Training" available as an officially selectable feat when multiclassing.
The following substitutions may be made with starting feats at first level only and subject to GM approval:
Lightsaber may be replaced with Advanced Melee Weapons, Martial Arts I, or an Exotic weapon subject to GM approval.
Rifles may be replaced with Advanced Melee Weapons.
Rifles plus Pistols may be replaced with Lightsaber; the Lightsaber may then be exchanged as above.
Rifles plus Armor (Lights & Medium) may be replaced with Martial Arts I.
Reason: These options allow the base classes some freedom for alternative styles. This makes is easier for "non-Jedi" to start in the Jedi class and for "Jedi" to start is some other class; it also offers primitive species an alternative to give their more experienced warriors better weapons which would be lost without access to pistols or rifles.
This talent is available to all heroic classes at first level only:
Background: You gain one bonus feat from you class list and may select either one additional trained skill from your class list or one additional skill to add to your class list.
Make the following changes to the basic talents found in the class section of the SECR:
Jedi Consular – Skilled Advisor: You can spend a full-round action advising an ally about a specific skill, thereby granting her a +5 bonus on her next skill check with that skill before the end the encounter. Reasons: To specify which skill is being advised and to set some kind of time limit so this can't be banked until the beginning of the next encounter.
Lightsaber Combat – Lightsaber Defense: Remove the swift action requirement for the basic use.
Lineage – Educated: Add "By spending a full round action to make the Knowledge check you may add a +5 competence bonus to you check," after the normal text. Reason: To give the talent more teeth as you'd effectively be trained or focused in the Knowledge skills. Note you do NOT count as trained.
Spacer – Hyperdriven: Once per day you may add your class level as a bonus on a single attack roll, skill check, or ability check made for or with a vehicle. The decision to add this bonus can be made after the result of the roll or check is known. The "for a vehicle" means a roll specifically related to a vehicle. Reasons: To make the talent more useful outside of starships, no longer need to define a "starship", and to end possible abuse of the talent when making checks aboard a "starship" that have nothing to do with the starship.
Armor Specialist – Armor Mastery/Second Skin: Remove the "Armored Defense" prerequisite from these talents. Reason: To make these talents more accessible at low levels; at higher levels a character will still need Armored Defense so this really only affect low leveled characters and NPCs. Juggernaut: Change "Armored Defense" prereq to "Any other Armor Specialist talent."
Weapon Specialist – Devastating Attack: If you weapon has a base x2 damage multiplier (starfighter weapons) treat the target as if its DT were 10 points lower. If your weapon has a base x5 damage multiplier (capital scale weapons) treat the target as if its DT were 15 points lower. Reason: Specialization gets better when used with multipliers so these should as well.
Weapon Specialist – Penetrating Attack: If using a x2 weapon then treat DR as 10 points lower. If using a x5 weapon then treat the DR as 15 points lower. If the target does not have DR but has a SR you may apply this feat against the SR. Reason: As Devastating Attack plus treats SR the same as DR.
Athletics: Being trained in this skill counts as having training in Climb, Jump, and Swim (includes the standard +5 bonus for being trained) but has no uses of its own and thus may not be used for Skill Focus. This is a class skill for the Scout and Soldier classes only. Reason: To encourage someone to get training in the physical skills.
Make the following changes to some basic uses:
Persuasion: Change Attitude – for every 10 points you exceed the target's WILL Defense (including modifiers) you improve the attitude or the target an additional step. If two parties are each attempting to influence a third then use opposed checks with the "winners" roll being used after subtracting the "losers" total.
Persuasion: Haggle – when used to alter the price of items an opposed skill check will be used.
Treat Injury: The treat disease/poison/radiation uses of this skill allow you to treat one creature at a time if trained and up to six if you have skill focus. First Aid may be used multiple times but each additional use has a cumulative -5 penalty for all other uses on that creature for the past 24 hours.
Use Computer: Astrogate – This aspect of the skill may be used untrained by a ships system operator/pilot who is using a Navicomputer.
Dodge: Instead of designating a single opponent you may designate either a single opponent, all ranged attacks, or all melee attacks against which you gain the +1 Reflex Defense. You make this designation as a free action on your turn. Reason: Add functionality to the feat.
Linguist: Change prerequisite to INT 11.
Warrior's Blood:
Prerequisite: BAB +0
Benefit: You gain +1 to your BAB
Special: You don't lose this feat once your BAB is +1 or greater.
Reason: To give low BAB classes a chance to get one back when starting.
The Force:
Move Object: Add "You may hurl the target at another target beyond the 12 square range but your UtF check is consider -1 lower for every additional square of range."
Destiny: Heroes will only be given Secret Destinies although they may make requests based on character backgrounds. In some campaigns and/or at certain times Unleashed abilities (FUCG) may be available without spending a slot for the feat.
Reflex Defense: 10 + your heroic level or armor bonus + DEX mod + class bonus + natural armor + sz mod. A character wearing armor may choose to use HALF of their heroic level instead of the armor bonus.
Autofire: When using an autofire weapon against a single character scale target consider it a use of Burst Fire except that it does not require a feat, expends 10 shots instead of 5, and deals no additional damage.
Diagonal Movement: Only count every other square as 2 squares when moving/counting diagonally. The first diagonal square counts as 1 the next as 2 the third as 1 and so on.
Custom Droids: When playing a custom droid you begin with two basic appendages of your choice; these should be tools, claws, or hands. You may use left over accessory credits with starting credits to add additional systems but not any other type of equipment.
Locomotive systems: Table 11-3 shows the standard movement rates for the droid size and locomotion type. You may install systems with HALF the listed speed with the appropriate cost reductions based on the formula given. You may install as system that can move up to TWICE the listed speed but it has an additional x2 cost modifier in addition to the increased cost based on the formula. For example a medium sized droid can have a basic walking system with speed 3 which costs 90 credits up to a speed 12 walking system that costs 2880 credits. Climbing Claw and/or Magnetic Feet can be overlaid on a basic system of the same type at cost provided they use a slower movement rate; they still suffer any additional multiplier for things like extra legs or jump servos.
Prestige Classes:
There will be numerous changes to various PrCs including reassignment of available talent trees found in later sources. These are the changes from the SECR:
Weapon Master Talent Tree – Greater Devastating/Penetrating Attack: Increase the values given above by +5.
Add WMTT – Multiattack Proficiency (Advance Melee Weapons)
Jedi Knight and Sith Apprentice prerequisites will have a loose "special" requirement effectively opening them up to most who otherwise qualify.
Equipment and Starships/Vehicles:
There are so many things to adjust here which would be documented later.

Getting the proper fittings for your car's plumbing needs can be challenging, but with Jiffy-tite's three fitting series, you can solve your motorsports plumbing challenges in no time. All it takes is following five easy steps to order and you'll get a fitting that won't let you down on the road or on the track. Plus, by double checking your order with Jiffy-tite's "Pin System," you'll get exactly the right fitting components, guaranteed.
Jiffy-tite offers three different fitting series that cater to your vehicle's flow needs. Choose from the 2000, 3000 or 5000 series fittings for a range of flow capabilities with all sockets and plugs in the same series being compatible with one another. The higher the series number, the more flow you will get from each component.
Choosing which series will best fit your needs is the first step in ordering your fittings. Each series then transfers as a two for 2000, three for 3000 or a five for 5000 as the first digit of your unique fitting's pin number.
The second step in ordering your Jiffy-tite fittings is choosing between a plug and a socket. Male connectors are designated as plugs and female connectors are designated as sockets for ordering purposes. Fluid can flow bi-directionally with either the sockets or plugs. If you choose a socket component, the second digit in your unique fitting pin number will be a one, where as if you choose a plug component, the second digit in your unique fitting pin number will be a two.
After choosing your fitting series and between a socket or a plug, you must choose if you want your component valved or non-valved. All of Jiffy-tite's standard connectors come valved with a high-flow, minimal restriction valve in place, although you can order any configuration of connectors in a non-valved style.
Next, you need to choose an adapter. Jiffy-tite offers a variety of adapters to fit your needs, from push to lock hose ends, o-ring boss seals and hose bar adapters, to reusable nut adapter designs, National Pipe Thread (NPT) male and female threaded designs, and male and female 37-degree AN designs. Each adapter choice corresponds with a number which makes up the third digit of your unique fitting pin number. The following two digits in the pin number represent the AN dash size or the NPT thread size of your component.
The fifth and final step to choosing the proper fitting for your application is selecting the proper seal type. Jiffy-tite's standard connectors come with a fluorocarbon seal that is compatible with most fuel, oil, water and transmission applications, but Buna Nitrile seals are available for most methanol and alcohol applications, as are EPDM seals for nitro methane applications. Each seal type coincides with a single or double letter designation that makes up the end of your unique fitting pin.
With the many options you have with Jiffy-tite's fittings, you can solve almost every plumbing challenge no matter what the application is. Be sure to check out all the fittings that Jiffy-tite offers on in their catalog and be well on your way to your optimal plumbing system.

Wait, what? did I shut my blog down in a drunken rampage again?
In Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863, Edward Everett spoke to over then thousand people for two hours, and no one recalls a word that he said. Alternately, Abraham Lincoln spoke the words of his Gettysburg Address in only a few minutes. While I am no fan of Twitter, perhaps a device which pares down presidential pronouncements should be considered a good thing, although restricting them to 140 characters might be viewed as a bit extreme.

This code runs motors B and C until they stall. The code takes two rotation sensor readings, with a very short delay in between them. The loop exits when the difference between the two readings becomes less than a certain threshold. So if a motor slows down because it encounters an obstacle, the code will stop running the motors. A short delay in the beginning is necessary so that the motor can start moving before the rotation sensors start taking readings. Note that if the speed of the motor is decreased, the threshold for the difference needs to be lowered as well. This program was adapted from Brian Davis' code.
This code creates a wait for loop that will wait for a random amount of time. The code uses the random number generator and a loop that waits for the timer to equal the generated value. The random number is set between 500 and 5000, which causes the loop to wait for 500 and 5000 milliseconds. Code by Brian Davis.
This code illustrates the Wait-for-Push command. When a touch sensor on Port 1 is pressed, Motor A will stop.
This code uses two very important coding commands, Switches and Loops. The touch sensor Switch causes Motor A to go forward if the touch sensor is released and backward if it is pressed. The Loop causes the Switch to loop infinitely.
View Program
When run, this code will cause a car to "snake" forward in wide arcs. The length of the turns can be modified by changing either the time or motor power.
The code will run Motor A in a random direction (via a Random-Comparison Block combination), at a random speed, for a random amount of time. The motor speeds will fall between 0-100 and the time will fall between 0-3 seconds.
In this program, a desired location is set at 50 degrees of the rotation sensor. This value is continually subtracted by the current rotation traveled. The difference is multiplied by two and this becomes the value of the "power" variable. The Compare Block determines the direction Motor C will travel: forward if "power" is positive, backward if "power" is negative. Thus, when the car first starts off, its current position is zero and its desired position is 50. Therefore, the power setting used is 100, which is full power forward. If the car overshoots its mark, the power setting will become negative and the car will travel in reverse. The goal of proportional control is to find a constant that will get the system to equilibrium in the shortest time with the least amount overshoot and the most accuracy.
The NXT can also be used to play music. By placing notes manually custom songs can be created.
This program beeps, runs Lurch-1, then beeps again.
This code uses a Loop to turn Motor A on-and-off three times. When downloaded to a single motor car, this program will accelerate the vehicle forward in three short bursts. The number of loops can be changed by modifying the Count of "3". Alternatively, if you want an infinite program, you can set the Control of the Loop to Forever.

Despite being the future queen, Kate who was born a commoner, is expected to curtsey to 'blood princesses' Beatrice and Eugenie as per new protocol approved by Queen Elizabeth

According to new, updated royal protocol approved by Queen Elizabeth II, future queen Kate has been demoted down the order in royal rankings, it was reported Monday. A document is said to have been circulated privately in the royal household to clear Kate's status within the royal hierarchy — the future queen was born a commoner and must, therefore, show reverence to 'blood princesses'.
This means she is expected to curtsey to those born royal, such as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie — both in public and in private, Daily Mail reported.
The rule only applies when her husband, Prince William, is not present.In his absence, she must also curtsey to other royal blue-blooded women, including Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra, the Queen's cousin.
In any case, she must always curtsey to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, whether her husband is by her side or not.
The complex new rules come in a little-known edict entitled the Order Of Precedence Of The Royal Family To Be Observed At Court, which the Queen has updated to take into account the Duke of Cambridge's wife, the Mail report said.
In an effort to avoid conflicts, the Queen drew up the first Order of Precedence in 2005, after Charles married Camilla. Its effect was to change the order along 'blood lines' so that Princesses Anne, Beatrice, Eugenie and Alexandra — the granddaughter of George V — were all ahead of Camilla.
The etiquette, though arcane to some, is taken very seriously by the royals, who bow and curtsey to each other in public and behind closed doors. It affects other aspects too, such as who arrives first at an event. For example, Camilla had to wait in the drizzle outside Guards Chapel, Windsor, for the arrival of Princess Anne at a memorial service in 2006, because Charles had not accompanied her.
According to royal observers, Kate might not mind her new status as she is eager to please everyone. But William might not be pleased. While William feels warmly towards his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie, he's conscious of the fact that they are lesser royals. As future King, he will wish to see them behaving correctly towards their future Queen, but their attitude is likely to be, 'Why should I? I was born royal — Kate wasn't'.

Dan at Gay Patriot informed me last night that my name came up in his comments. He wrote about it yesterday.
Last night before bed, I posted a quick write-up of a meet-up I had had yesterday with Glenn Reynolds, his lovely wife Helen Smith and a gaggle of conservative bloggers and friends. And there I, an openly gay blogger at a blog with "gay" in its very name, found the same (warm) welcome I have found at every gathering of conservative (& libertarian bloggers).
This morning, when I woke up and checked the blog, found this comment in our "pending" (for approval) folder:
How many days have you guys gone without being outright called faggots by the people you suck up to? You should put up a running clock and take bets on who will be the one to break down and share his true feelings with you. It'll probably be Jim Hoft.
I immediately approved it–wanting to provide evidence of left-wing prejudices against conservatives.
Read the rest here.
And, thanks again Dan, for defending me.
I guess if you needed proof that The Gateway Pundit is becoming influential it has been handed to you in spades.
Keep up the good work Jim!
Granny…great point.
Just like blacks are the only ones using the N word I find only sexuals other than hetero using the F word these days.
I am close to 50, white, middle class and know of no people in my circles that hate sexuals other than hetero in my circles. As in racists I know that there are people that hate based on sexual preference out there, but I personally know no one in my life that are in fact this way.
My wife and I were out last night with our very close, gay friends…we go out with them all the time.
Guess what? They are as conservative as they come (fiscally, of course).
Liberals…it's OK to be black and/or gay and still be conservative.
Gay Patriot is now on my Favorites list….shoulda been a long time ago. An excellent site! BTW….I'm a truck driver, drove from FT Smith to St. Louis and saw Todd Akin signs all along the way. ONE McCaskil sign. HEH
I was going to say, Jim, that your influence grows every day. Keep up the good work, and the good people of this country will keep sticking up for you, as we do.
the only "faggots" are the self identified ones in San Fransissy that you see in those so-called queer pride parades. They are an embarassment to everyone and certainly make it harder for non-heterosexuals to be just accepted – tarred with the brush of stupidity.
It's much like the 'obamaphone lady' and what she does to the blacks in America. She hands the anti-blacks an icon for disliking all blacks.
HillBuzz and The Gay Patriot blogs were among the first Conservative Gays blogs I ever visited. You want "civility?" These blogs, among others, are fair and even-handed. Even when i don't agree with them. Now that's civility.
P.S. I'll never forget the first time I visited HillBuzz. It was through a link someone posted at TammyBruce.com. The post was a deeply moving account of ex-president GW Bush and his wife Laura, returning soldiers, and the HillBuzz gang's change of heart toward him. It was box of Kleenex time.
"How many days have you guys gone without being outright called faggots by the people you suck up to?"
Both F-Words are horrible, they have been my entire life. No place for these words. And I would suspect they DO come out of the mouth of angry people with little respect.
Respect is something that has been lacking in recent years. Why do you think Romney is rolling over Obama.
It is nice to have friends and apparently quietly they can be reached by a click of the mouse.
The only people I've ever known to use the word "faggot" were leftists. Ironic.
OT ignorance personified.
Tolerance: Obama supporters urge black Romney voters to kill themselves
mike marley @0_oFry3yee
I'm srry if I'm ignorant but if ur black and voting for mitt romney KILL YOURSELF NOW
Despite what the media and race-obsessed Left would have you believe, black conservatives are not evil mythical creatures. They are free thinkers who refuse to view their fellow man through the lens of skin color, opting instead to focus on character. That's exactly as it should be.
Unfortunately, some very outspoken Obama supporters disagree. And they've taken to Twitter to encourage blacks who plan to vote for Romney next month to kill themselves:
If u black with a MITT Romney sticker on your car kill yourself—
Corde' Donald (Daé) (@Str8_based) October 11, 2012
Thank you Dan for being the forthright man you are. We can agree or disagree in our discussions. That is what freedom is. That is what our first amendment guarantees us. Those who try to shout us down, accuse us of racism, accuse us of being intolerant, demand that we follow in lockstep with their ideology are everything and more that we are falsely accused of.
Wow, Dan's misguided poster thought Jim was a Pharisee…found out Jim is actually a Good Samaritan.
Thanks for the hat tip to the Gay Patriot blog, Jim. Both Dan and Bruce are decent, nice guys and that blog is one of my daily "must reads." The commentary over there is very good and insightful, and some of the BEST stuff comes from those of us who comment a lot there.
Thanks again. And Truth Teller is right: it's not only OKAY to be black, gay, , it's AWESOME. Now, ALL HANDS ON DECK to defeat the multiple disasters currently in charge.
The mature discourse of tolerant left. They're such paragons of morality.
jeeze…"chuck in st paul"…here we have a nice moment of coming together on this site and you have to go for name-calling and over-the-top descriptions of people and events you, obviously, know very little about. YOU are the person that gaypatriot's commenter was referring to…and you're an embarrassment to the rest of us.
GP never called anyone a "Punk-A$$ Faggot"..
that privlage belongs to irreverent Al Sharpton..
P.S. Here's the HillBuzz post. Can't find the one they did about ex-President Bush greeting the returning soldiers.
el polacko #16 October 20, 2012 at 2:01 pm
no, its true, heard it myself from a few horses mouths so to speak..
those "gays" are a true embarrassment to decent homosexuals..
Vicky Hernandez #18 October 20, 2012 at 4:07 pm
here you go, i post it every chance i get..
God Bless & Thank You George W. Bush & Laura Bush

Toxicology test results in on fatal Steuben Co. crash
By: WROC-TV
Updated: October 8, 2007
Toxicology reports are in on the crash that killed four young people in
17-year-old David Cady was behind the wheel when their car flipped early Saturday. He and 17-year-old Tiara O'Dell, 15-year-old Jered Fry, and 21-year-old Joe Lubberts were all killed. State police said all four had alcohol in their system, but Cady had a blood alcohol level at .13. That's nearly double the legal limit.
Police say the four all came from a party in the woods and they are still looking for the people who supplied the alcohol. If found, they will be charged.
The three teens were students at Jasper-Troupsberg. Lubberts was a recent grad.

Joel Schoenbach: Simple, Comedic Films
Monday, February 26th, 2007
Simple, comedic is how filmmaker Joel Schoenbach of Doosh Bag Productions describes his work. A former pool attendant, Schoenbach, now lives in Las Vegas where he pursues his dream of making films. To date, he has created more than a dozen shorts and doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
According to Schoenbach, it was a class project that first got him interested in making films. "In a psychology class we had an essay paper and video project to do for our midterm and I sucked at the paper but the video was a success even though it was in camera editing and stuff," said Schoenbach. "But that's what got me interested."
While Schoenbach did go to film school at UNLV he feels that it left him unprepared and ignorant of the advanced methods of filmmaking that is used in Hollywood productions. What's the best thing that he gained from film school? "It introduced me to the people I want to make movies with forever."
Schoenbach says that his biggest directorial influence is Kevin Smith. "Most directors would have all this coverage for a short scene that has two people talking and I feel like it's a waste of time," said Schoenbach. "Kevin Smith would just put both of them in a medium shot and move on."
When asked about his strengths as a filmmaker, Schoenbach shared what he has heard other people say about his productions. "People say my comedic timing is pretty strong. My simplicity that makes people concentrate on a story and not things like cool shots or cool lighting."
Mistakes? Every filmmaking career is marred and at the same time enhanced by them, but one in particular sticks out in Schoenbach's mind. "I needed a party scene for this movie and instead of getting extras I threw a real party," said Schoenbach. "I invited all of my friends; bought 300 bucks worth of alcohol. Let's put it this way: drunk friends plus camera equals big mistake."
Schoenbach who describes himself as being more of a visual filmmaker enjoys the screenwriting phase of making a movie more than all of the other aspects. "Because that's the main stage of the creative process and you don't have to worry about the millions of dollars in budgets and the hell of production."
Film festivals are a relatively new endeavor for Schoenbach. He has entered only one festival and won a couple of awards in a few 48 hour film competitions so far, but plans to begin submitting more of his shorts to film festivals. He also plans to make a feature length film when he feels that he is ready.

Jobless Claims Drop, Inflation At 3 Percent, Housing Starts Cool
A trio of economic indicators were just released:
-- First-time claims for jobless benefits plunged by 50,000 last week from the week before, to 352,000, the Employment and Training Administration says. You have to go back to Spring 2008 to find a lower number. Reuters says the news signals "continued improvement in the labor market."
-- Consumer prices finished 2011 up 3 percent from the year before, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's a faster pace than 2010's 1.5 percent and 2009's 2.7 percent. But prices were unchanged in December, vs. the month before.
-- While the number of "housing starts" in December was 4.1 percent below November's pace, they ended the year 24.9 percent up from 2010, the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development say.

This deservedly popular family-run Chinese restaurant features reasonably-priced, spicy dishes made with fresh ingredients in rather bare-bones settings (Formica tables, thick white restaurant ware, stainless steel teapots). Rice plates and noodle dishes are available at lunch only.
SF Weekly provides some of America's best restaurant reviews. But we don't always use them in deciding what to eat. They're incomplete. Not that it's unhelpful to learn that one dish contains crisp yet creamy croquettes of crab, or that another is disappointingly dull chicken stew. But what's one to make of all the unmentioned platters in between? Thankfully, S.F. software engineer Moss Gross has taken all the guesswork out of dining out -- as long as you're dining at the Chinese place next... More »

Make it – A new favorite – Stuffed Chicken
Good morning and Happy Monday!
Nothing like enjoying a fantastic weekend and then being shoved back into reality, huh? (I'm openly hating everyone who is off work today)
Well for those of us who actually had to rejoin the rat race this morning, I have a recipe that takes only about 30 minutes and looks (and tastes) like you spent hours in the kitchen. And for those of you who have the day off: make this for someone who had to go into work today — they'll think you're a domestic godesss. Don't worry, I won't spill the beans. Another plus? This recipe is totally customizable! Let me explain.
Start with a chicken breast (after you preheat the oven to 375)
Cut a slit in the side of the chicken breast and continue, "butterflying" the meat about 3/4 of the way down. Now stuff the slit with some greens and cheese – I chose arugula and pepper-jack cheese — the spicy arugula works so well with this cheese! Other suggestions: spinach and provolone, peppers and cheddar – get creative!
Visuals should help.
Next, brush with olive oil and season with a complementary spice. For my spicier cheese/meat, I chose a Cajun blend.
Now cook for about 15 minutes on a foil-lined baking sheet.
While that's baking, prepare your side dish. To play off the spiciness of my main course, I choose a refreshing blend of veggies, which I tossed with salt and lime juice. Sound delicious? It was.
You'll need 1 cup frozen lima beans (thawed), 1 cup corn and a small container of grape tomatoes (cut in half).
First add about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet on medium heat. Add lima beans and corn and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add tomatoes and cook about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and add the juice of one lime and a pinch of salt.
Serve with your spicy chicken and admire your culinary genius.
Cheesy goodness in every bite.
How would you stuff your chicken?! Next time I make this I'm going to go with spinach and provolone and top the whole thing with some marinara. Another idea - stuff with black beans and cheddar, and top with salsa! Get creative and please share your ideas so others could steal them and come off as domestic gods(esses)

Access Living offers peer oriented, independent living services to individuals with disabilities. One such program is the Deinstitutionalization (DI) Program. The program was created in response to Illinois disproportional support of institutional care. Though the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Olmstead Supreme Court ruling of 1999 both give people with disabilities the right to receive services in their own home, thousands of people are forced into institutions because no community options exist.

A Huge Step Forward for People with Mental Illness
Historic agreement reached to transition Illinois residents unnecessarily housed in large, impersonal nursing homes
Last week was a good week for people with mental illness in Illinois. On Thursday, a federal judge granted preliminary approval for an historic agreement between the State of Illinois and thousands of people with psychiatric disabilities represented by a number of advocacy groups, including Access Living, and a private law firm - led, in this case, by the ACLU of Illinois - that will give thousands of people with mental illness an opportunity, if they choose, to move out of large, private nursing homes and into community-based settings.
This agreement marks a sea change in Illinois state policy - which for far too long has relied on troubled, sometimes dangerous nursing homes to serve people with mental illness.

OK, everyone is agreed that the ReadyNAS is slower than other NASs - some are even quite hysterical about this!
I'm puzzled as to why this is so. Many say it's due to problems with the ReadyNAS web interface. I'm no expert, but the following might be of interest.
I've just bought myself a Denon AVR4308 to drive a subsidiary AV system. It's a DLNA device, and so is the ReadyNAS, so the two should be able to work with each other. And indeed they can. You turn on UPnP services on the NAS and away you go. The system you end up with, superficially, looks very like what you see with Slimserver (whatever else, believe me, the Slimserver interface is far better). The Denon gives you a web interface similar to that of Slimserver.
But it's the speed of the Denon service that's of interest here. It's clunkier than Slimserver, but it's much, much faster than Slimserver. For example, request an Artist list, and it appears almost instantly on the Denon; via Slimserver, it takes an age. Can that all be down to deficiencies in the web interface? The same occurs with a mere Folder listing - what takes 6 seconds via Slimserver is almost instantaneous via the Denon.
All the foregoing might be explained by the web interface problem. But then there's the time it takes to scan your music library to compile the Album/Artist lists. The UPnp scan is at least 12 times faster than the equivalent Slimserver scan. Now both scans are carried out solely on the NAS, so this points to serious flaws in the Slimserver software.
I'd be interested in comments (constructive please) and let's hope that SC7 on the ReadyNAS might go some way to fixing these problems.

The main difference is simply that we do more: we support more formats, more platforms, more skins, more features, more interfaces (web, player, CLI, Controller)... all this doesn't come for free. Eg. the scan you mentioned: we handle symlinks on unixes, shortcuts on Windows, aliases on OSX etc. All this adds overhead to the job. If we only supported FLAC and MP3 on Linux, we'd be much faster.

Oh, did I mention I'm using a ReadyNAS as my everday's SC server at the office? Working pretty fine with the Controller!

Thanks for both replies. I'm looking forward to the official release of SC7!
I can see that Slimserver does more work compared to the DLNA/Denon arrangement - you only have to see the quality of the Denon service I used for comparison. But against that, the difference in speed between Slimserver and the Denon DLNA set-up is so very marked: no one using the Denon service would ever make the observation that the ReadyNAS was slow. From observation of the Denon system you'd think the ReadyNas was a slick performer. So, we'll see with SC7.
I'm certainly in no hurry to abandon the ReadyNAS - it performs quite well enough as is, and it's doing more than just distributing my music files.

Are there indeed speed issues using a SB3 or Duet Controller accessing music on the ReadyNAS?? I want it to be instant...
2008-06-04, 12:55 #6
interesting thread...
it would seem to relate to both the DLNA bug [enh]
and to a degree the VA logic req:
my guess is there are a lot of users out there, esp infrant ones, who would greatly benefit from both of these.

Angela Strassheim - Untitled, From Left Behind series, 2007
I cannot deny the influence photographing dead bodies and crime scenes for six years had on the way that I approached photographing my born-again Christian family. These photographs similarly approach the subject-matter of my family with detachment of clinical observation. I am attracted to the already existing pristine, saccharine pastel interiors of the upper-middle-class home. I work with large format cameras and professional lighting to capture as much detail as possible in the settings as well as the details of a person's face. With the photographs in Left Behind I was interested in how religious values seep into everyday routine activities. The title Left Behind refers to those lives that go 'unsaved' in terms of my family's beliefs and to remnants that provide evidence of a life after someone passes away.
In Pause I use a similar stylistic and conceptual approach in making the images. However, this time I was focusing on the relationship between father and daughter. I was still interested in the candy colours and still perfection. I became even more interested in the perspective forcing the viewer to be a more active participant in the seemingly mundane moments which shape our lives. There are some very new images in which I spent five months on a small Minnesota college campus photographing college life. I was interested in the outside influence of friends and the heightened sense of touch.
Angela Strassheim
She is represented by Marvelli Gallery, New York.
Born in 1969 in Bloomfield, Iowa. Lives and works between New York City and Minneapolis.
She received my BFA. from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1995. Immediately following, Angela moved to Miami to pursue a career in forensic photography. After completing a 10-month preceptorship program she took a job as the head forensic photographer at the Division of Forensic Science in Richmond (Virginia). She worked part-time for three years in New York City for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. She earned my MFA in photography from Yale University in 2003.
Angela Strassheim have had two solo exhibitions in New York at Marvelli Gallery: Left Behind (2005) and Pause (2006). Also in 2006 she received several grants including the Jerome, McKnight Photography, and Bush Fellowship. She was selected to exhibit in the 2006 Whitney Biennial Exhibition Day for Night. Last year she had her first solo museum show at the Faulconer Gallery at Grinnell College in Iowa for the series Left Behind. Her first monograph was published for that exhibition and was curated by Daniel Strong with text by Jean Dykstra. In 2007 she had an exhibition at the Chicago Art Institute as part of their new acquisitions. In 2008 she is in a large group show World's Apart at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
Angela Strassheim's photographs have been published in many magazines including Exit, Contemporary, and Vice. She has also been published in several books including reGeneration: 50 photographers of tomorrow, The Elton John Collection 2007, Traces and Omens.

This afternoon, during a conference call sponsored by Families USA, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) laid out various measures to improve the affordability standards in the committee's health care bill. Responding to my question about how to make the bill more affordable for American families, Baucus suggested that the Senate could increase subsidies, reduce benefit packages, or strengthen the penalties for Americans who don't meet the requirements of the individual mandate.
Baucus said that it would be politically difficult to increase subsidies and did not suggest that the Senate was considering a public plan to help lower premiums and the costs of the actual bill. Instead, Baucus implied that the Senate may reduce the value of the minimal creditable coverage for so-called young invincibles and Americans in the exchange:
There are a lot of ways to address it, as you've said Igor. One is higher subsidies, but you know, we don't want to go much over $900 billion total over 10 years. Another is to adjust the minimal creditable coverage provision that is under the bill…We're 65% [of actuarial value] in the Senate. If that's lowered to a lower number, that's going to make health insurance less expensive. However, it's going to mean lesser coverage too. There is some talk about, you know, even lower plan for — the popular term is — young invincibles. For people who are very young, say 25 or [2]6 or something like that, who would be able to purchase very low premium plans that might have a high– it's a catastrophic plan — which may have a high deductible…..That would help coverage, that would help coverage all together and lowering to 65%, for the so called bronze plan, down to 60 would also help address affordability…
"Raising the tax credit will address affordability, there are lots of different ways," Baucus said. "And also the mandate if you will, the penalty. If the penalty is changed that will have an effect on coverage too. There are a lot of moving parts here."
The Senate Finance Committee has already made reform more "affordable" by excluding some 2 million Americans from the requirement to purchase coverage and lowering the benefit standards would further undermine the goals of universal affordable coverage for all. Most progressives argue that the current benefit packages in the Baucus bill are already far below the standards offered to federal employees or most employer-based coverage. The young invincibles plan would allow younger applicants to enroll in cheaper but less substantive plans that may prove inadequate over time. For Americans in the exchange, insurers would have to cover 65% of the health care expenses of an average population; the remaining 35% would be picked up by individuals.
By lowering the minimal creditable coverage, the government would be asking Americans to pay lower premiums for a less substantive plan that could become wholly unaffordable if the beneficiary needs care. Here is a comparison of all the affordability and minimal creditable coverage provisions in the major bills:
HELP Bill (About $1 trillion/10 years) | Senate Finance Draft ($829 billion/10 years) | Tri House Bill($1.04 trillion/10 years) | |
Affordability credits | Credits up to 400%FPL Credits tied to average cost of 3 lowest cost plans in geographic area. Sliding scale 150%-400%FLP; Have to spend 1%-12.5% on coverage before credits kick in. Cost sharing credits available with specifics to be determined by Secretary. |
Credits up to 400%FPL Credits tied to 2nd lowest cost silver plan in geographic area. Sliding scale 133-300%FPL; flate rate 300-400%FPL; Have to spend 2%-12% of income before credits kick in. Cost sharing credits on a sliding scale of 100-400%FPL; Limits: $5,950 individuals/$11,900 family. |
Credits up to 400%FPL Credits tied to average cost of 3 lowest cost plans in geographic area. Sliding scale 133-400%FLP; Have to spend 1.5-11% income before credits kick in. Cost sharing credits on a sliding scale of 133%-400%FPL; Limits: $5,000 individuals/$10,000 family. |

The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian
Super Bowl Sunday morning links: Colin Kaepernick represents a new era
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone. It's the greatest and wost day of the year for all football fans, as the best night concludes such a terrific season. Anyway, here are some links from our coverage in New Orleans.
My main story is on Colin Kaepernick and the state of mobile quarterbacks. His style can always work if it's done right, and today's outcome could play a huge role in the future of the NFL.

According to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, a blog is "a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order". The word "blog" is a portmanteau (a word that fuses two or more words for a combined meaning) of the words "web log".
Blog Features
Blogs most commonly have a single author and theme, but may also be contributed to by a group of authors. Blogs may be categorized by topic (i.e., politics, food, entertainment, travel) or by primary media (i.e. image blogs, video blogs or vlogs, audi blogs).
Other common features of blogs include:
- commonly link to other posts or blogs
- commonly publicly available, but access may be limited
- many allow readers to comment on posts
- may use tagging for categorization
- may be subscribed to with RSS
- may link to media sharing sites like flickr or YouTube
- may include a "Blog Roll", or linked list of related blogs
Blog Uses in Education
Based on their chronological structure as a common use for expressing an individual perspective, blogs are particularly well-suited for the following uses:
- online journaling
- reflection on experiential education – Northeastern's Undergraudate Admissions recruited students to blog about their experiences at Northeastern
- documentation of scientific inquiry (or another process) – a professor from Northeastern's Math department posts mathematical comments on the television show "Numb3rs"
- reporting/commentary on current events
- research summaries
- citizen journalism
Blogs have grown significantly in popularity in recent years. In December 2007, the blog search engine technorati.com was tracking 112 million blogs daily, a number that had increased by nearly 20 million in only four months.
Example Blogs
The following examples illustrate a range of blog uses and features that have relevance to educational settings.
- Polar Science
A team of scientists from the University of Colorodo, conducting research in Antartica, used blogs as one of several communication tools on this website to communicate with teams of K-12 students as they conducted their research. - A Duck with a Blog
This blog tracks a kindergarten class' observation of a duck nest. It illustrates the use of a blog to document observation of a scientific or other process and also show the integration of multimedia in a blog. - Absolutely intercultural
Two European academics (DEFINE) publish a weekly podcast on intercultural issues through this blog. - Joey's ASL Vlog
This vlog (or video blog) communicates through American Sign Language. - Middlebury College: Creative Non-fiction
This blog was used as the learning management system for a writing class at Middlebury College. It includes a "mother blog", to which all students contributed, and individual blogs used by students to publish their assignments. - Northeastern Undergraduate Admissions
Northeastern's Admissions office uses student bloggers to provide a personal view of campus life for prospective students. - Numb3rs blog
Northeastern math professor Mark Bridger published a blog that explains the real math behind the television show "Numb3rs". (This is a "blath", or "math blog".) - The DNA Network
This network blog compiles daily entries from individual members' blogs, all of whom share a common research interest.
Blog Software Options
There are many software options available for creating blogs, including online tools and blog software installed on a servers; there are both free and fee-based tools in each category.
Free, online blogging tools:
- Blogger.com is google's blog tool.
- Edublogs.org is a community of educators using blogs at all levels of education.
Installed blogging software:
- WordPress, the software used by Edublogs.org.
- MovableType, which has a free version for personal use and enterprie versions for larger-scale installations.
For a comparison of 23 different blogging tools, see www.weblogmatrix.org.
Blackboard also features a course-centric blog tool. For instructions on setting up a blog in your Blackboard course, see the ATS Blackboard Tips Blog
Considerations for Blog Assignments
As you design a blog assignment for classroom use, you may want to consider the following questions:
- What is the goal of the blog?
- Should you have a class blog, individual blogs, or both?
- Who can see the blog?
- Who can contribute to the blog?
- Who can comment on the blog?
- What are the potential implications of these access choices?
- How often should students post?
- What media should they use?
- How will blogs be assessed?
