Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofia Mapfre - Kites to test competition formats
'Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofia Mapfre 2013' John Heineken
The 44th edition of the Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofia Mapfre for Olympic classes is the first European ISAF Sailing World Cup stop and will be held from from 30th March to 6th April 2013. The regatta will include Kiteboarding as invited class. The kites will sail for the very first time in the most international regatta held in Spain, sharing the racing area in the bay of Palma de Mallorca (Spain) with the Olympic classes.
The Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofia Mapfre to be held this year at the venues of Club Nàutic S'Arenal, Club Marítimo San Antonio de la Playa and Pabisa Beach Club, has invited the kiteboarding to the regatta in view of its possible future inclusion in the ISAF Sailing World Cup and the Olympic Games. Last year ISAF included this innovating class in the Rio 2016 Olympic programme replacing the windsurfing, a decision that was finally revoked in extremis at the November Annual meeting.
The Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofia will count for the IKA World ranking together with other international events. 4 racings days are scheduled from second to 5th April followed by an exhibition day on sixth, the Medal Races day for Olympic classes.
'The International Kiteboarding Association is more than happy to secure the inclusion in this important event, as it brings another excellent opportunity to prove how kiteboarding can be included in the major ISAF sailing events', declared Markus Schwendtner, the class Executive Secretary.
'The organisers of the Sofia Mapfre are working to innovate and contribute to make sailing a more spectacular sport. The initiative of including kiteboarding, supported by the Spanish Sailing Federation as well as ISAF, is a step towards this goal', explained Ferran Muniesa, the event CEO.

The kites will be based on the beach opposite the Trofeo Princesa Sofia Mapfre village, located at the Pabisa Beach Club. Pabisa is a leisure centre located at Playa de Palma, between the two other venues of the 44 Sofia Mapfre, and like last year it will be the regatta village, an excellent meeting point to follow the racing and venue of social events.
Club Nàutic S'Arenal will be the venue of Paralympic classes 2.4mR, Skud 18 and Sonar and Olympic classes Finn, 470 men and women, 49er and 49er FX, the latter having its debut in Palma as the new Women's skiff.
The venue for classes Laser Standard and Radial, RS:X men and women and Nacra, the new mixed two person multihull will be Club Marítimo San Antonio de la Playa.

Things to Do in Santa Fe
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
At Sundance Aviation, shimmering fiberglass gliders soar up to 18,000 feet above see level as they cruise over the New Mexico desert. Pilots navigate gliders high above the air, riding thermal lifts in the summer and mountain wave lifts in the winter. Pilots offer easy-going, scenic tours as well as more acrobatic flights that take passengers on a series of multiple loops, wing-overs, chandelles, and deep stalls. Passengers can take to the skies in a modern fiberglass Grob 103 or the historic Schweitzer 2-33 that's powered exclusively by a furnace of handlebar mustaches.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, visitors would stop to rest at the historic El Rancho de las Golondrinas as they began or ended their long journeys along the royal road that stretched between Santa Fe and Mexico City. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Val Kilmer, and the cast and crew of some 30 films used the ranch's 200 scenic acres and 34 historic structures as backdrops to their movies and personalized birthday cards. With preserved and restored villages dating back to the early 1700s sloping through a rural farming valley, the grounds collapse time, bringing the past to the present and the present to the past. Today, guests wander this living history museum to explore how colonial and frontier life was lived the Southwest. During a self-guided tour, visitors pick up or download a map of the ranch before weaving through a snapshot of history brought to life by villagers clothed in the styles of the time. Feet patter past a molasses mill, a blacksmith shop, and defensive towers where guards kept watch on the horizon and coordinated messages for passing UFOs. With a reservation, docents will lead you through the trails that cut through a landscape dotted with goats, sheep, burros, and horses, fostering an understanding of the culture and arts of historic New Mexico.
Not Made in China Pottery Studio's seasoned potters mold minds with instructive, hands-on pottery classes. Stocked with all necessary clay, wheels, and tools to transform amorphous blobs into useful shapes—such as a jellyfish cage—the studio offers a host of practical classes. In approximately 2–2.5 hours, instructors help students develop techniques for creating one-of-a-kind bowls, sake pitchers, vases, and teacups during Tea for Two, The Sushi Date, or Ghost-inspired classes.
Brent Kliewer harnesses his film-programming experience and passion for filmmaking for his curatorial duties at The Screen, a theater founded in 1999 at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design. A former critic for the Santa Fe New Mexican and critical-studies professor in the university's Moving Image Arts department, Brent relies on his encyclopedic knowledge of world and contemporary cinema to choose each week's selection. Brent's picks are projected in 35mm or digital format on a high-definition curved screen that boasts a 16-speaker Dolby Digital surround-sound system built within an old soundstage. In addition to an array of lauded celluloid, The Screen has hosted visits and screenings with numerous Hollywood stars and insiders, including Robert Redford, Tommy Lee Jones, Brokeback Mountain screenwriter Larry McMurtry, and an extra from Raiders of the Lost Ark who almost got to hug Harrison Ford.
Roger Alink has never owned a television. As a kid, he was too busy with the pigs and cattle that roamed his 160-acre home, and this love of animals and the outdoors only grew over time. In the early '90s, Alink decided to share this love with others, so he and a team of volunteers spent 30,000 hours establishing Wildlife West Nature Park.
In addition to the wild creatures, migratory birds, and GPS-lacking manatees who settle at the park, representatives of the region's indigenous animals and plants live and grow on its 122 scenic acres, much of which hasn't been altered since the park's inception. Elsewhere, 30 wildlife exhibits mimic the natural habitats of the black bears, wolverines, deer, pronghorn antelopes, and birds of prey that inhabit them. Two miles of trail connect each habitat, and each enclosure is specially designed for the particular needs of its residents. The same custom care goes into feeding the animals: to keep the beasts psychologically spry, staff members provide challenges that echo the animals' instinctual eating habits, placing meals up in treetops, burying snacks that need to be sniffed out, and arranging candlelit dinners for mountain lions who forgot their wives' birthdays.
Sustainable practices such as recycling, organic farming, and water harvesting turn the park into an educational example of eco-friendliness. Facilities such as the amphitheater and the heated, enclosed Bean Barn also welcome special events ranging from music festivals and bird-handling workshops to the kite-spangled Wind Festival and the ursine Bear Fair.
A project of Feel Good Festivals, the New Mexico Cup celebrates the area's fine wines and craft beers while also supporting a worthy cause. This year's beneficiary is Tricklock Company, a theater organization dedicated to examining the human experience through poetic theater and absurdism. Festival-goers first sample adult beverages from regional wineries and craft breweries, then cast their vote for the tastiest pours. Professional and celebrity judges also weigh in on their favorites. The Albuquerque Convention Center echoes with the sounds of live music, the names of raffle winners, and the excited shouts of anyone who didn't realize Prohibition ended 80 years ago.

The globally-renowned and respected Jackson Custom Shop is the longest-operating facility of its type on this planet, turning out world-class, high-performance custom guitars ever since Grover Jackson first affixed his name to a headstock in late 1980.
The reason for this amazing longevity is simple: Jackson started out as a custom shop. In the beginning, there were no production guitars—every Jackson guitar was a highly original high-performance custom instrument.
Whereas some production guitar makers open their own custom shops after reaching a certain age or level of success, Jackson existed from its very earliest days as nothing but a custom shop; one that built meticulously crafted high-performance guitars for a very exacting clientele.
Furthermore, right from the very start, no design was deemed too crazy and no idea considered too far out—if someone could conceive of it, Jackson's talented, imaginative and at times even demented craftsmen could build it. This early emphasis on true uniqueness and outlandish one-off instruments proved to have an enormous influence on Jackson's most famous and oft-copied body shapes.
In addition to housing the most gifted and open-minded team of luthiers in the world, many of the Jackson Custom Shop's original members are still working there. As a result, we can proudly proclaim more than 170 years of combined guitar-building experience under one roof.
The Jackson Custom Shop—the original Custom Shop. Made in the United States with precision, pride and passion.

Skokie bakery a family affair

Updated: September 25, 2012 4:42PM
SKOKIE — Since opening Sweety Pies bakery in Skokie five years ago this fall, the family-run business has been serving up freshly baked pies, cakes, cookies and other delectable treats that promise to satisfy every sweet tooth.
The Kruger family collectively followed a lifelong dream of owning their own bakery when they launched Sweety Pies in November 2007.
Run by Arden and Bruce Kruger, their daughter Dana Kruger and son Chad Kruger, the four-person family team works long hours day and night working to make their business a success.
Although their tasty made-from-scratch pies and pastries have drawn a good amount of customers into the bakery during the past five years, the Krugers learned quickly that starting a business during a recessionary low was not an easy task.
"The economy crashed right after we opened, but we've seen a steady improvement as things continue to get better," Dana Kruger said. "We've committed ourselves to doing something that's hard, but you have to realize that even in tough times people are celebrating birthdays and weddings, and that people still need to enjoy the little things in life."
Baking seems to be in the Kruger family's blood. Using Dana and Chad's grandmother's pie recipes, the family had been baking for friends and family for many years as a hobby before finally turning their talents into a business endeavor.
On a typical day at Sweety Pies, Arden and Chad stay busy in the kitchen as the head bakers, while Bruce cooks up fresh omelets for the breakfast crowd and Dana handles customer service and operations.
"The whole business is centered around family," Dana Kruger said. "We never would have been able to make this happen without each other."
After spending longs days together in the bakery, one would think the family might need a break from each other, but not this family. The four also live together in the same house in Rogers Park.
"We have our arguments, but we get over it quickly because we have to work together the next day," Dana Kruger said. "That's one of the more rewarding parts — no matter what, even when it gets frustrating and annoying, we make it work somehow."
Unlike most bakeries that have an in-and-out feel, the Krugers offer a welcoming environment decorated with warm tones like chocolate brown and gold accents that and a living room-type feel with café seating for 25 people.
An open kitchen allows customers to see into the area where pastries and lattes are made.
"We bring out the cookies, pies and cakes and display them on our large, granite countertop so our customers can see what everything looks like," Dana Kruger said. "It's like grandma just brought out fresh baked goods from the kitchen."
Fresh baked goods from Sweety Pie are featured at the weekly farmer's markets in Evanston, Morton Grove and Skokie.

Stationed inside a vaudeville venue first designed by the Boller brothers in 1928, the Crown Uptown Theatre has continued to nourish creative appetites with delectable dinners and Broadway-style productions since 1977. Concocted by an expert culinary team led by Kevin Gillenwater, formerly of Chester's Chophouse and Wine Bar, plated entrees are served alongside helpings of soup, salad, and rolls. An enthusiastic waitstaff delivers each meal directly to customers' tables. Crown Uptown Theatre can accommodate up to 400 theatergoers or scarecrows stuffed with recycled playbills during evening performances each Thursday–Sunday, and matinee plays for children every Friday and Saturday.
Mosley Street Melodrama, which brings life to the tradition of dramatic exaggeration, is Wichita's only audience-participation dinner theater. Arm yourself with enough snark, wit, and emotional breakdowns to cheer facetiously as the villain saves the day; the productions are designed to incorporate audience cheers, boos, and flying fruit while rowdy, wholesome humor makes the entire family guffaw. After doors open at 6 p.m., theater buffs fuel their laughing machines with an all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet provided by Pig In! Pig Out! BBQ. Pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked chicken, sumptuous side dishes, and coffee or iced tea are available, along with vegetarian options if requested in advance. A bar with specialty drinks, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages is also available.
With its grand reopening in 2005, the Louise C. Murdock Theatre married the technological trappings of a modern cinema to its historic, 80-year-old interior. The theater's original frescoes and iridescent, art-deco chandelier greet guests as they make their way toward a single 25'x16' screen. Framed by lush red curtains, the digital canvas displays images from a digital projector with high-definition capabilities, accompanied by the boisterous booms of Dolby surround sound. The theater screens a diverse calendar of cinematic fare, including limited-release arthouse films and classic foreign cinema augmented by popcorn and other epicurean goodies from the full concession stand stocked with snacks, alcohol, and more. The Murdock also proudly projects simulcast and prerecorded productions through partnerships with The Metropolitan Opera and the National Theatre, transporting international stage performances to the Murdock without the hassle of getting sandbags through customs.
In 1919, discouraged that artifacts of Wichita and Sedgwick County were disappearing, the Sedgwick County Pioneer Society began collecting and displaying historical items in the Sedgwick County Courthouse. Nearly a century later, what began as a modest collection of early memorabilia has expanded to nearly 70,000 Sedgwick County and Wichita-related artifacts, which together trace the history of the region from 1865 to the present. Now housed in Wichita's original, renovated City Hall, the collection's photographs, clothing, decorative arts, and household items enrich award-winning exhibits that tell tale of the area's Buffalo-hunting days, Great Depression–era dust storms, and aircraft industry.
The museum is also home to three re-created environments from the region's past. The garage re-creation holds a 1916 Jones Six automobile, the only such Wichita-built vehicle on public exhibit, and the drug store reproduces the feel of the popular early 20th-century neighborhood gathering place. Over in the Wichita Cottage, seven rooms of a Victorian-style 19th-century home house authentic period items such as a wooden icebox, a gas-and-electric ceiling light fixture, and a phone powered by animosity toward Rutherford B. Hayes.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor Marcio Laselva has a wealth of championships and nine years of teaching experience under his second-degree black belt. He helps his students hone their bodies and minds into sleek, sinewy machines with the help of a qualified and experienced team of instructors, which includes ISKA World Champion kickboxer Marcio Navarro. Far from being just a dojo for training hard-hitting fighters, the 20,000-square-foot, family-friendly gym helps athletes achieve all sorts of objectives, whether decreasing stress levels with calming yoga classes or learning to beat up the ocean with karate courses.
An intense yet addictive fighter fitness regimen lets laymen and women tone and build their bodies like MMA warriors, while capoeira classes seamlessly combine music, dance, and martial arts. Students learn a wide range of disciplines within the gym's welcoming walls, including the art of the fist and foot in tae kwon do lessons and master's degrees in the sweet science with classes from 47-year boxing vet Johnny "Coach" Papin.

http://www.lathuile.it 39 0165 88 41 79
La Thuile, together with La Rosière in France, is part of the international ski resort known as Espace San Bernardo: a single skipass gains access to 160 km of slopes, 38 ski lifts, cross-country trails, and helisking on the Rutor and Miravidi glaciers. Thanks to the resort's altitude (which varies from 1441 to 2700 m) and a particularly favorable climate, ski lovers can enjoy the slopes from November to April. Over 400 snow canons guarantee favorable conditions all season long. But it doesn't stop here. Summer is a perfect time to discover La Thuile's enchanting lakes, admire stupendous panoramas of Europe's highest peaks, mountain bike, hike on numerous marked trails or drive the Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo, a road with over a thousand years of history. The road is part of both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, and leads to the Chanousia Botanical Gardens and the prehistoric "Cromlech". Along with La Salle, Morgex, Pré Saint Didier and Courmayeur, La Thuile is part of the Vallis Digna, the last part of Valle d'Aosta before crossing Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo pass into France. Today La Thuile is a famous and well-equipped tourist center, but it's maintained the charm and features of an ancient mountain village.

I'm still holding out hope for Twilight Zone by Golden Earring but that's probably not gonna happen at this point.
Same with any Slash era GnR, or any of the big bands.
So I'm just going to go with the very depressing :

Hello everyone!
I am wondering if anyone can help me with blood sugar swings. This isn't anything new or anything specific to the DexCom, but these huge swings have become visually clear now that I am on the DexCom!
I am in pretty good overall control. But looking at the 24 hour graph, it looks a really wild, scary roller coaster ride! Straight up, then straight down. Probably 8 daily peaks of 250, and 8 lows of 50. Anyone have suggestions on how to even those highs and lows out?! Understanding highs and lows are part of the disease, I would really love to see more plateaus.
Thank you so much. Any help is so much appreciated!
Before starting on a pump, it was a big help to work with a CDE to make sure my basal (Levemir) was correct. At the time, I was on a sliding scale, so we also worked to get the scale right.
Other than that, these things helped me avoid the roller coaster:
- use only glucose tablets to correct lows
- exercise regularly
- reduce carbs (although, I did this more for weight loss)
Even with the Dexcom & a pump, I still see a big swing if I listen to the cookies calling my name when I need to correct a low.
But, overall, I think wearing the Dexcom was the biggest help.
Good luck,
As John's excellent post already said, getting your basal and carb ratios right and adjusting to activity patterns is very important.
I also find that regular, scheduled exercise evens things out overall. Try to make that a part of your routine.
Also, in general: try to get a sense by watching the Dex of how long it actually takes for your corrective actions (bolus when high, sugar when low) to work. Some of that wild ride can come from chasing your own tail.
All good advice before me.
Personally, I have struggled with this issue for the 14 years since being diagnosed, but have only really been aware of it for about 2 years, since getting on the Dexcom. Even more, it has really only become especially pertinent to me in the last year about dealing with the spikes and drops. I understand that dramatic swings can be some of the most damaging part of uncontrolled blood sugars, so I have recently tried to tame it.
I am not endorsing any particular diet, but I must say, a significant change in my carb intake was mindblowing for me. I decided to do a paleo diet (no grains, refined sugars, or dairy) about a month ago. No joke, my first week I had the most STABLE blood sugars that I have ever had in 14 years. I am not using nearly as much insulin. I feel better overall, and my sensitivity to lows has dropped from the low 80's to the mid 60's. I have been challenged by cutting out carbs (cravings, temptations, etc.), and I have not succeeded 100% of the time, but I can honestly say it has had the single greatest impact on my blood sugar control. Definitely worth a try to see if it works for you.
More than happy to discuss it further ... good luck!
People have said most of the good suggestions:
1) First test and fix (If necessary) your basal rates, by time of day
2) Adjust the I:C and correction ratios. You may need different numbers by time of day.
3) Consider a lower carb diet. Carbs are one of the biggest cause of spikes and every spike can lead you to a crash with over aggressive corrections. I haven't bought into Bernsteins 30 g of carb a day, but I definitely believe that small numbers lead to smaller errors. If you eat smaller amounts of carb, the swings will be smaller.
I can flatline for 12 hours on the Dexcom some days.... haven't quite done 24 yet, but others on here have. The Dexcom ia a great tool for insight into how to correct things.
The fact that you can see things now is step 0 to making things better!
Although frankly, from your numbers ,you are doing a good job...
One thing I do while trying to iron out the basal and the boluses; I try to do the same static things for a few days. I work in a cubical so its easy for me. I start by eating the same meals at the same time. I know this is incredibly boring but; you can keep your food static and then adjust your basal and insulin to carb ratios around that.
If you are not sure if its carb ratio or basals you can try to skip a meal when your numbers are close to normal and watch what happens to your ##s if you tapper off then your basal maybe too much; if you climb maybe you need to turn it up a notch.
I find for me that my level of insulin resistance is higher in the morning; so I could eat what I would normally eat for dinner for breakfast and have to take more for it than if I ate the exact same meal for dinner that evening.
Good luck!
Thank you everyone so very much for your time and sharing your good ideas. I am going to take some of these suggestions . . . checking and adjusting my basal rates first, then confirming my insulin to carb ratio (realizing it may be different at different times of the day), and really try to get more physically active on a consistent basis. I am not quite sure I could do the paleo diet, although I am sure it would be very beneficial, but may at least try to limit my carbs! I'm still open to more suggestions so please keep them coming.
I really love and appreciate this community. Certainly makes me feel like I am not alone in all of this! Thanks.
You could start small with carb-reduction. Replace half of your servings of bread/pasta/potatoes with salad/veggies, etc. Replace pancakes/waffles/cereal with eggs/bacon/sausage. When eating out, substitute low-carb sides for high-carb sides. If a menu item has some high-carb food mixed-in (like fries on a salad), ask for the carbs on the side - then let someone else eat the carbs or request a low-carb substitute. If you don't mind eating something out of a wrapper, there are some low-carb and low-glycemic-index bars available.
Hopefully, your doctor's office has a Certified Diabetes Educator who could also help.

Attractive Bali Cellulars with motorizat

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Bali Cellular Shades Light Filtering Single Cell - 3/4" Eternity - 3/4" Single Cell:
The product met all my expectations. They are attractive cellular blinds. The price was very reasonable when compared to retail places in my area and even compared to [...]. The motorized shades make it very convenient to open and close. I chose the transformers over the battery wands because of price and they seem to work well. One of the three motors failed after two weeks and I cover that problem in the Service Comments.

I bought three cordless blinds for my daylight basement windows, which are quite big. I looked at many home interior shops to pick out the right style and color before ordering. [...] My husband installed the blinds with ease. They allowed privacy and they are transparent enough to allow some light in during the day with privacy.

The blinds adjust up or down. A nice feature. Blinds are used in 6 windows and make it easy to adjust them for the privacy we want at night. The install instructions were easy to follow and installation went pretty quick. Wife thinks they need a valance to hide the top.
I would buy this product again

Bottom does not lay completely flat on window sill, it has a slight bow in it. When delivered the wide plastic insert on the bottom had been bent and installed with creases in it. I had to remove and smooth out as best possible and reinstall. Just a little thing that slipped past quality control.
Nice blinds, just what I expected.
By jrs1
from Moorpark, CA
I put these blinds throughout my home. They look nice.They are described as "light filtering" which is an accurate description. They let in a good amount of light, so these are not from you if you are looking to have a dark room, unless you supplement them with curtains.I have a couple large windows, 58" long and the blinds are a little heavy to open using the pull sting. On both sets of my blinds this size, the pull string has broken. They can be reattached using the "plastic knobs" provided on the cords, but it is a little disconcerting.Also, I got the blinds that both raise from the bottom and lower from the top. Each control uses its own pull cord. It is a neat feature, but it leaves you with a lot of cords and they are exposed in the window when lowering the blinds from the top. If you can afford the extra cost, it is probably worth it to pop for the cordless version.
Love the blinds

M & B, Levolor and Kirsch do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. We do ship to Canada and all other countries. Please call us or send e-mail for applicable charges.

The HEF New Members Processing Facility
interesting.. we'll see how long this lasts.. especially with Paul Mooney..
"I don't use it," Kennedy said in a telephone interview Monday. "But some rappers say they use 'nigga,' not 'nigger,' and say, 'We want to use it the way we want to use it … for our purposes, as a gesture of solidarity.'"They've grabbed the word, flipped it around and did their own thing with it," he said.
Joe Hicks, vice president of the civil rights organization Community Advocates Inc., called the move to ban the word "just silly and outrageous." Outside the stray white bigot, the N-word is pervasive only in black communities and among hip-hop and rap artists, "not in the business world, not in the American court system, not in the government."
After hecklers shouted that he wasn't funny, Richards made references to lynching and uttered vulgarities. He then said, "Throw his a — out. He's a nigger," repeating the word over and over.
Whats in a name, that which we call a rose by any other name still smells just as sweet.
Okay - but what about all the variations thereof? Such as:jigger, wigger, chigger, migger and whatever else.

Everything done up until now. It's in Polish, but Google Translate does it's job well. translate.google.com/translate?ie=UTF-8&... English translation to come when it's finished (I don't have enough time to keep track of two language versions in development). Main features: - lack of levels - saving throws as in D&D - attributes as in D&D, but replaced by the modifiers- HP representing the character's stamina - action points instead of the minor/move/full-round - a varied selection of class and race as in D&D - body parts specified for damage - 'advantages' bought for XP - XP given by the DM as he wishes - some of the more powerful 'advantages' require ranks (a certain number of XP has to be spent earlier) - no criticals, no random damage dice - no spell failure - changed armor check penalties - advancement paths for given classes - less skills than in D&D (16 for now) - every class (fighter and magic-user to use the AD&D terminology) uses the same system - every class has access to manevuers (a bit of a cross between Tome of Battle and 4e) - XP price for some potentially unbalancing spells (scry, teleport etc.) The skill system is 100% done (I only have to add the missing descriptions). The classes are about halfway done - that is, some of the classes are missing. There are several examples of manevuers, advancement paths (equivalent of PrCs) and monsters. Combat rules are 90% done. Equipment lists are halfway done. I'm wondering whether to leave 'advantages' (feats, special qualities, special attacks lumped together) as they are or should I use something similar to talent trees from SW? Should I stick to the D&D nine-alignment system (modified a bit) or should I use something else?
Huh, have you by any chance tried this little thing called 4th Edition?
Spoiler: Show I'm kidding xD This looks fun, I'm looking forward to the english (or Icelandic?) version. I'll let somone more 3.5 familiar to answer your questions, I'm just here for bumping purposes.
Spells should be able to fail. Maybe more powerful magic users almost never fail at simple spells, but spell failure just makes sense.
called shots should be optional (body part damage), I have yet to see this done well I would have 4e style conditions and keywords and extend that concept to armor and weapons (at least as options). They ahve been talking about this for 5e. remove classes, your "class" is simple the choices your character makes (ability scores, feats, proficiencies), etc. if damage dice is not random, i would suggest having some method of modifying damage. I tried using a base damage and for every point you rolled high on your to hit roll you added some additional damage to the attack. (sword base 4dmg +2/point above to hit score needed). Thus we only had to hit rolls. However, my group liked rolling damage so we went back to the traditional method. I like the ideas they are working for skills in 5e. Simple ability checks with simple modifiers of certain "skills" - amybe bought with feats?
Locational damage was made optional. Marshal class and a lot of manevuers added.
Did you decide on exact DR values for the various armors?
-------------------------------------- 1) HP renamed to Stamina Points. 1/2 and other fractions changed to be the full number of advantages.
Money system added.
Any ideas on what I could add/improve? I'm thinking of tweaking the way attributes work. 1) maybe one attribute governs attack and the other defense - a bit like in Legend 2) maybe give the choice of the attribute from two (Str vs. Con; Int vs. Cha; Wis vs. Dex) - a bit like in 4e I want every attribute to be useful in some way. I'll have to work on describing classes in flavor terms.
Today, I added starvation/thirst and suffocation rules.
I'm thinking of adding the aristocrat class at last and the templates (half-fiend, half-fey, vampire, etc. etc.).
Aristocrat and adept classes added. Also, vampire template added.
EDIT: Here you can find the development history of this ruleset.
Sword sage and faith warrior classes added.
Half-fiend templates added (including, but not limited to, half-balor, half-bebilith and half-succubus).
Various monsters and templates added.
Started working on flaws. Drawing up alignment rules.
Alignment traits added. Flaws added. A drug named 'mad desire' added. Planetouched templates added.
Thank you.
Work on magic items started. Weapon proficiencies reworked. Descendant of the gods template added. Today: mundane items added.
Encumbrance rules, expanded equipment lists, poisons and illnesses added... and something else.
Some things I need input on:
1) Split offense and defense and use different attributes for them? 2) Allow choosing an attribute for the offense/defense from pairs (Str vs. Con; Int vs. Wis; Dex vs. Cha)? 3) A use for Charisma 4) Merge XP and gp together like in OD&D? 5) Dodge and parry like in Conan RPG?
Number 3 can be scratched, I found a use for it. Help me with the rest?
Stamina Points tweaked - all attributes now contribute to them.
Magic items, spells and spellcasting classes shuffled to a 'High Magic' page since the world is low-magic.
Deity favor points added.
Spells and manevuers now cost those points.
Thinking of expanding the attributes from 0-10 scale to 0-100 scale. What is your take on that?
Also, I'm thinking of making skills (both combat and non-combat) also fit the 1-100 scale. The bonus to the d20 throw would be the number divided by 10. 2 points per 1000 XP spent.
I'm thinking of using several d6s and keeping the numbers and adding a bonus from the 1-100 scale.
Also, I want to detach combat skills from classes/number of "advantages" and I want to reduce "advantages", especially those that only give +x bonus. In the future, I might consider removing classes altogether. Therefore, I need help about the dice mechanics. Detaching combat will come next once I have worked out the dice.
Decided on using d6s, but without changing the scale. After all, ease is the prime goal of this ruleset....
Renamed "advantages" to "developments" and started pruning them a bit. Thinking on a new skill list.
New skill list. It contains melee attack and ranged attack, and also dodge and parry.
The dice used are now d6. Some minor tweaks.
I'll move travel time rules to the optional section. Also, it was suggested that I shift the weight of counting to the DM's side... I'm trying to cut down on the number of classes.
Wizard, rogue, cleric, druid, monk and warrior are here to stay. Is it possible to make all the other classes "advancement paths" of these?
I want to avoid circumstance bonuses or penalties. Is there a way to do it?
I am going to cull classes (renamed to professions). Right now I'm down to 6. I'll do it when I have a bit of spare time.
Only 7 classes remained - rogue, fighter, ranger and wizard, bard, cleric and druid.
Note that 'druid' is NOT equivalent to D&D druid, it's closer to the Celtic druid. Marshal and knight became advancement paths and many other classes were removed. Developments (advantages) clean-up. ------------------------------------------------ And a major breakthrough when it comes to character creation: creating a character now costs points (20 at start). You use these points to choose your race, profession and advantages.
translate.google.com/translate?ie=UTF-8&... - a Google Translated version
The goals of the project are as follows: 1) remove the Linear Warriors Quadratic Wizards effect 2) remove the clunky tables (too much math) 3) retain the race-class-skill-feat system of the d20 4) focus equally on combat and non-combat 5) make it easier for newbies than D&D Main features: - use of d6 - point buy to determine attributes - point buy to create character (somewhat like L5R) - lack of levels - saving throws as in D&D - attributes as in D&D, but replaced by the modifiers - HP representing the character#8217;s stamina - action points instead of the minor/move/full-round - body parts specified for damage as an optional rule - #8216;advantages#8217; bought for XP - XP given by the DM as he wishes - some of the more powerful #8216;advantages#8217; require ranks (a certain number of XP has to be spent earlier) - no criticals, no random damage dice - no spell failure - changed armor check penalties - advancement paths for given classes - completely remade skill list - use for every attribute - non-combat advantages exist - tweaked item and equipment prices - every class (fighter and magic-user to use the AD&D terminology) uses the same system - every class has access to manevuers (a bit of a cross between Tome of Battle and 4e) - using manevuers (whether they be spells or not) requires you to be in your deity#8217;s favor - XP price for some potentially unbalancing spells (scry, teleport etc.)
Attributes are now: Strength, Stamina, Dexterity, Reflex, Intelligence, Willpower, Intuition and Perception (8 in total). Skill list was reworked, so that every one of them is useful for at least one skill.
Thinking of splitting the Action Points into two categories - move APs and other APs.
Also, thinking of a social status system.
Any input?
There is now a thread for the world, Treskri, which will use the mechanics.

Early Life
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. Both the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys were wealthy and prominent Irish Catholic Boston families. Kennedy's paternal grandfather, P.J. Kennedy, was a wealthy banker and liquor trader, and his maternal grandfather, John E. Fitzgerald, nicknamed "Honey Fitz," was a skilled politician who served as a congressman and as the mayor of Boston. Kennedy's mother, Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald, was a Boston debutante, and his father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., was a successful banker who made a fortune on the stock market after World War I. Joe Kennedy Sr. went on to a government career as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and as an Ambassador to Great Britain.
John F. Kennedy, nicknamed "Jack," was the second oldest of a group of nine extraordinary siblings. His brothers and sisters include Eunice Kennedy, the founder of the Special Olympics, Robert Kennedy, a U.S. Attorney General and Ted Kennedy, one of the most powerful senators in American history. The Kennedy children remained close-knit and supportive of each other throughout their entire lives.
Joseph and Rose Kennedy largely spurned the world of Boston socialites into which they had been born to focus instead on their children's education. Joe Kennedy in particular obsessed over every detail of his kids' lives, a rarity for a father at that time. As a family friend noted, "Most fathers in those days simply weren't that interested in what their children did. But Joe Kennedy knew what his kids were up to all the time." Joe Sr. had great expectations for his children, and he sought to instill in them a fierce competitive fire and the belief that winning was everything. He entered his children in swimming and sailing competitions and chided them for finishing in anything but first place. John F. Kennedy's sister Eunice later recalled, "I was twenty-four before I knew I didn't have to win something every day." Jack Kennedy bought into his father's philosophy that winning was everything. "He hates to lose at anything," Eunice said. "That's the only thing Jack gets really emotional about -- when he loses."
Despite his father's constant reprimands, young Kennedy was a poor student and a mischievous boy. He attended a Catholic boys' boarding school in Connecticut called Canterbury, where he excelled at English and history, the subjects he enjoyed, but nearly flunked Latin, in which he had no interest. Despite his poor grades, Kennedy continued on to Choate, an elite Connecticut preparatory school.

There's no such thing as royalty in the United States, but if anyone has ever come close to that level, it's the Kennedy family. For 64 years, Washington had at least one Kennedy in public office. Descended from Irish Catholics who fled the potato famine, the family has a strong tradition in the Democratic party, the most prominent member being President John F. Kennedy. In addition to fame and political power, the Kennedy clan has had more than its fair share of tragedy—several members of the family have died in accidents and assassinations, in what's been called the "Kennedy curse."

Frequently Asked Questions / Types of Cancer / Breast Cancer / Breast Cancer
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR
Last Modified: December 23, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
It has been a year since I received 25 radiation treatments for Stage II Breast Cancer. Though I had a lumpectomy, I would like to reconstruct the breast to make it look more symmetrical. The plastic surgeon feels that a standard breast lift should fix the problem, but I would like to use a submuscular saline implant as well. Are my chances really that much worse to get capsular contracture (because of the previous radiation) than a patient with a non-radiated breast? What other complications may arise because of my radiation therapy if I choose to reconstruct?
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
After lumpectomy and radiation treatment, reconstruction of the treated breast is generally not recommended for a number of reasons. Detection of a local recurrence becomes more difficult. Screening for local recurrence is done with mammography, breast self-examination, and physical examination by a physician, and all of these are more difficult after reconstruction. Screening for local recurrence is important after breast conservation treatment because local recurrence is a potentially treatable and curable event. Finally, the risk of complications from plastic surgical reconstruction rises after radiation treatment.
One potential alternative is to reconstruct the opposite breast to attempt to better match the radiated breast. You might contact your plastic surgeon to see if this is feasible.

The Globe's Limitations: How Peak Oil Threatens Economic Growth
length: 25:50 credit: The Nation
Post Carbon Fellow Richard Heinberg is the first expert featured in this series by The Nation on 'Peak Oil and the Changing Climate'
According to Heinberg, historically there has been a close correlation between increased energy consumption and economic growth. If the economy starts to recover after the financial crisis and there is an increased demand for oil but not enough supply to keep up with that demand, we may hit a ceiling on what the economy can do.
"What politician is going to be able to standup in front of the American people and tell them the truth?" Heinberg asks. "Every politician is going to want to promise more economic growth and blame the lack of growth on the other political party…. The whole political system starts to get more and more polarized and more and more radical until it just comes apart at the seams."For Heinberg, however, there is still hope: alternative energy sources, though difficult to implement on a large scale, do exist, and a grassroots movement is strongly advocating for new thinking about our energy consumption.
