My Games |
Ok so I am starting up my Deathwatch campaign coming this January. We are going to be playing online over Skype and using Fantasy Grounds Virtual Table Top. So far I have 3 possibly 4 of my friends playing and our 5th is one of our lady friends who has talked about possibly playing (she has played DnD with us) However she has no interest in playing a male character/Space Marine. She really doesnt know much about the universe and I have been talking to her alot about it lately and she is interested, she just doesnt care for the Marine part. I told her it might be possible to play a Xenos Inquisitor, but I would have to look into it.
So is this possible? I realize that in combat roles she would be very squishy, comparitevly. I told her as a comparison, Space Marines are many ways like Demi gods when compared to normal humans. So if it possible, what book do I need to get ? Was thinking of Dark Heresy. I toyed with the idea of Rogue Trader, however I dont think that would fit as well. I was thinking a Xenos Inquisitor would actually fit in Perfectly, I was thinking of her actually playing the roll of Liason (spelling?) and actually having her character play as a mission briefer. Where I would send her emails before games where they start missions with Intel reports along with images etc.. and let her brief the deathwatch group about what is going on in the area, and what the kill teams objectives are. Great for roleplaying.
However mechanically what book do i need? any suggestions/ideas? Thanks

It's always tricky to do this kind of thing. A human built to DW levels will be less survivable, but will utterly dominate anything besides combat or the one or two areas the marines specialize in. You end up with everyone but the inquisitor doing all the fighting, and then bowing out for 90% of anything besides combat. You'll also end up with a weird power structure in the game, with one player essentially being the superior officer of the rest. Whether this would be a problem depends on your group.
There are really only two good options for people who don't want to play male characters. You can retcon the fluff so female space marines are a thing, and space marines do not require a Y chromosome to be made. They won't really be particularly female though, as the super restricted lifestyle of space marines would make any gender based differences unimportant.
You can also just, like the above example show off the heroic inhumanity of space marines, less strong macho dudes in power armor, and more inhuman post humans who sacrificed their humanity long ago in power armor. In short: space marines aren't really male either.
I lied about there being two options. You could also play a sister of battle who through some unique act of faith can replicate astartes combat abilities. Then just play a mechanical marine.
The hard thing here is having someone play a character who is not mechanically a DW character. You have to decide how squad and solo mode will work for them, and it's kind of like having someone play a commoner with 20x the skill points than normal. It's also a real pain the make DW level non-DW characters, which is important to keep in mind for anyone who doesn't really know the system.
If none of these ideas are workable, you could comeup with something on your own, or maybe Only War would suit your group better.
Thats my two cents.
Once, we were gods...
I think many people overlook the obvious in this scenario. Everyone goes to the Inquisitor for their answer.
Ascension is a wreck. Stay away from it.
My second recommendation would be to look into survivable careers. Tech-Priests, Explorators, Arch-Militants, all of these have access to Skills, Talents, Traits, and equipment that would make them far more survivable. Heck, even the Lidless Stare of a Navigator would be useful against a Horde of cultists or Fire Warriors.
Do you want someone to play an Inquisitor, a servant of the Imperium that can decide "Nope. We're not doing that Mission. I have a better idea…" and thus derailing your campaign? They do that, you know? Or, do you want someone playing an Inquisitor, a servant of the Imperium that is hamstrung and does everything the Kill Team does and is an Inquisitor in only name? Either example neuters the very spirit of an Inquisitor's purpose.
On the other hand, an Explorator, with interests in archaeotech, xenotech, or perhaps a Geneticist with an unhealthy fascination for the Xenos biology/physiology, makes more sense. The Rogue Trader Core Rules and many of its other supplements clearly show the characterization of an Arch-Militant as female, and I can speak from a GM's first-hand experience…those characters are pretty durable.
You friend could play a Gland Warrior (also Rogue Trader, outlined in the Into The Storm supplement).
If you really want to go the Ascension direction, there are Confessors, Storm Troopers, Vindicare Assassins (which uncounted GMs have lamented as being possibly the most "broken" PC career available).
The single biggest hitch in all of these is Armour and Wounds. Normal humans are lucky to get or surpass a total of 25, considering there are many other choices for Skills and Talents. Someone who's spent thousands of XP buying Sound Constitution has a pretty one-dimensional character. Normal humans have access to Power Armour, but the civilian models are nowhere near as protective as their Astartes counterparts. Civilian Power Armour can have its power source upgraded by the Forge-Masters of the Deathwatch, that's no biggie. The Apothecaries can't do the same for a human's physiology.
With Dark Heresy and The Lathe Worlds supplement you could have a Tech-Priest with comparable protection, weapons, and ability. But you would be looking at a Dark Heresy character that should rightfully be moving into the Ascension level of their Career (13k+ XP), and that doesn't even start to address this question: Are you willing to sit down, at great length, with this person while they build a multi-thousand XP Character from the ground up?
You could go with my first recommendation. Gender serves no purpose in the course of a Deathwatch game. Let her Play a Space Marine that is Female. Female Space Marines Would be no more likely to use their "feminine wiles" during the use of Interaction Skills than a Male Space Marine would attempt flirting. The idea of romance, intimacy, sex, procreation, lust, and physical desire are anathema to the Adeptus Astartes. So what, this particular Space Marine has boobs? Have you seen female body builders? Gross. If one of them wanted to "sex me up" I'd run until my legs fell off. If you (and your other players) can't hack the FSM angle, that's on you, not your lady friend. A Space Marine is a Space Marine. No one would be any more awed in the presence of a FSM than they would in the presence of a MSM.
You have a lady friend who wants to play in your game. Be a man, wear a pink shirt, and let her play a FSM. It's a game, not the end of the world.
Actually she said that the Space Marines didnt sound like her type of character to begin with.. Regardless if they were female or male.. She actually liked the sound of the Inquisitor better. LOL however when I told her of the Eldar while I was describing the universe she was like yep that sounds even better, I told her that wouldnt go over well though with a bunch of Deathwatch alien hunting Marines haha.
Now question. I dont have Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader, I realize it says in DW that those characters would be need to be level 11+ to be equivalent to a Marine.. However then they come into play, and they are way overskilled in all other areas. Is it at all possible for a player to start off at level one from one of those other books and play along with level 1 marines? Its apparent that even at level 11+ they are not going to match up in survivability to a Space Marine. So why bother bumping them up so many levels?
I have told her by choosing not playing a Marine (which I described as practically demi gods) she will have a harder time in the combat situations. She seemed ok with that. I've also told her she would gain no benifits from The cohesion and group abilities, as she is not a Marine. I explained how that system worked somewhat.
Like I said she is new to the 40k universe as in like completely new. However she is a great Roleplayer, and the balance in combat power thing doesnt seem to phase her much.
Now she does like Rogues or Rangers in DnD.. The inquisitor just seemed like it would be a perfect fit. I have described to her that Inquisitors in many ways have more political power than the Marines. However the Astartes are looked upon in Reverence, Awe, and even many times fear. That the Inquisitors that work with the Astartes are not really above them, but work in tandem with them. That respect is given both ways. In some situations she would have more influence, and in some areas the Marines would.

Fluff-wise, an Inquisitor makes the most sense; if you don't what to deal with the potential disruptions of 'command structure' which that might create, an Interrogator attached to the Killteam as an 'advisor', giving the Killteam the benefit of her extensive knowledge of xenomorphs while serving as the Inquisitor's 'eyes and ears' in the field (maybe the Inquisitor is too old/disabled to be able to go on missions himself?) is a viable alternative.
That said, if your player doesn't want to play a male, I think the odds are pretty good she won't like the ultra-combat-heavy style of Deathwatch regardless of what gender her character is. Have you considered playing one of the other WH40KRP games?
My 'fan-created content':
We have a great Sci Fi game that we all love.. (Shadowrun) Everyone is really pumped to play Marines (minus her). However she is intrigued by the universe after I have been talking to her about it.
If we were to play a less combat intensive game we would just stick to Shadowrun. Now dont get me wrong Shadowrun can have some serious firefights 8)

This topic comes up constantly and brews lots of resentment on both sides of the argument but your options are thus:
1) she plays a space marine anyway, because gender is irrelevant to what they are.
2) she plays a character from one of the other 40k RP lines. This option means you either give her access to, and skills in many things the marines cant do, or she just sucks in comparison and wont have fun. Either route tends to derail the game completely.
3)You change the fluff and say there are female marines. Honestly this option is the easiest, but if gender is such a big deal then you have bigger issues at hand.
Finally if that doesn't work then maybe accept that said female gamer just isnt interested in playing deathwatch. From experience, the female gamers i both play with and run games for prefer dark heresy and rogue trader.
"Only the insane have the strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane."
heyy, if she plays Shadowrun, she can handle combat! My two cents: i personally would shoehorn a character from one of the other 40k rpgs into yer DeathWatch game for her (inquisitor, experienced acolyte, arch-militant, etc)…..but, as you do not have these games, i'd go with a Sister of Battle, simplified (for DW use) by just having her make a marine character from a 'chapter' made up by yerself. Cohesion etc. would either be penalized or completely out of the question for her character. Mechanically, keep her character pretty much the same as the other marines; however, in role playing terms there are worlds of differences that you and she may exploit. (and, indeed, you should exploit these differences, as it sounds like she's after something a little different from just another marine.) (i s'pose you cold also do the same thing and, instead of battle sister, say it's an inquisitor…an inquisitor with some kick to it). Whatever you do, it'll take a bit of extra effort; but ought to pay off.

I go with Kasatkas last statement.
The problem is, that any special treatment will ultimately change the way Deathwatch is meant to be played/feeled. Either in Roleplay as in Balance aspect. To let her play an Inquisitor gives her to much power. Nobody that is new to the Fluff can play or even understand the beeing of an Inquisitor without reading lots of stuff. You are literaly giving a newbie enough power to crush your entire campaign. Do not make this mistake.
A Character from another Line like DH as an Interrogator (Adept?) might give er alot of usefull skills in knowledge and lore but makes her realy squishy. On the other hand she would not break the game (combat) balance by playing a psyker or assassin on this high level or even a Vindicare or Primaris that will show the Astartes that they are useless crap in comparsion. If you follow this the character would be a completly support orientated member of the group. No cohasion, no fancy modes. Just for the sake of roleplay and some investigation, though if you campaign is planned to board numbers of space hulks she will have no fun. But if it is an investigation roleplay Dark Heresy would suit better because Astartes are fighters, warriors and soldiers. Not some kind of detectives in power armor.
After all, I dont think she would enjoy a DW group. Itis combat oriantated, most of its roleplay happens between the "bromance" astartes that are devine warriors, chosen to fight the greates enemies known to mankind. This game is about a Team of sworn brothers that enter the battlefield against all odds and survive by faith, skill and the brother on their side.
This supplement from the dark heresy support page will give you stats for a 'starting' inquisitor. I would recommend adding Forbidden lore (Xenos) + peer deathwatch) as well. I think all int and fellow ship skills should be cheap for your player.
For survivability, you can give a best quality power armour and a Rosarius. Rules for the Rosarius vary, but I have it reduce all incoming ranged damage by 2D10. Damage output will be limited compared to the big guys.
So the advice is to give a player that is complete new to the fluff an inquisitor PC that is among the most powerfull individuals of the entire imperium just to integrate her somehow into the game? Okay…
Perhaps it's the way the question is phrased, but from what I understand about your post is that this isn't about gender at all, rather it's looking at alternative option to playing a space marine. What in particular did she dislike? If it's a perception of a lack of roleplaying potential there are numerous complex social encounters the DW could navigate when cleanse and purify isn't an option(heresey alert).
Another alternative to space marines would be playing an agent of the Inquisition though not a full inquisitor. Interrogators, powerful death cult assassins, sanctioned psykers of great strength or other field agents could be assigned to be the eyes and ears of an inquisitor though not necessarily the mouth. I could see some inquisitors wanting an operative that's less dogmatic and more outside the box than marines(though that varies a lot depending on the chapters involved in the kill-team)
Crunch wise I'd echo using rogue trader classes for a less puny human. You could even try reskinning black crusade where gifts of chaos are diving blessings from the emperor(or are they?!). That game has the option of a mix of marines and humans, though I havent played it so I can't say how well it'd port over.

Give her a sister of battle, or one of the varients of the adeptus sororitas. In many cases your marines will thank the emperor she is there. The dark heresey book Blood of Martyrs has complete rules on how awesome they can be with thier faith powers.
Also Consider NOT raising her XP level to the same point as the marines. My group is currently running a cross system game and that is essentially what we do. Yes the marines start stronger in combat, but, especially as a sister, she won't be useless. Give her more than starting but I would only give her 3-4 levels of xp. I would also give her the same acquisition rules as the marines use, but with sisters of battle stuff instead of astartes stuff. This makes her fairly powerful, if not quite as tough as a marine, but also leaves her character plenty of room to grow. As I know I would get extremely bored if I started with everything I wanted on my sheet already. Also speaking from experience the disparity between power levels allows for far more heroic action from the mere mortal, and I have seen them step up to the challenge. It made for some great gaming.
I ran a game once where a marine was aproached by an inquisiter and was told I need you to keep track of my experiment. He was then given the controler for the bomb collar around the neck of the orc mechboy that was standing next to the inquisitor. By sanction of said inquisitor the marine player was placed in charge of the experiment: the orc player. They had an "argument" so the orc understood who was boss, but all in all both players were happy, and it provided much fodder for the amusement of everyone. I highly reccomend orcs with bomb collars paired up with your marines, its lotsa fun. Along those same lines you could introduce a dark eldar with a bomb collar, or make up rules for an eldar (wish they would hurry up and release eldar and tau systems).
And finally:
Its cool that it is not about female marines. That whole situation is as retarded as toilet seats. One side wants things all special for them and refuses to fit in with the group, and the other side thinks some little thing is sooo important that they can't alter it to fit the group… Both sides of that argument need some therapy.
In my opinion, a Sister of Battle using Dark Heresy rules would just become a "buff-whore" (to use MMO lingo) for the rest of the team, ultimately too limited by poor rules and equipment to have her own moments. This has to do with FFG's version of Battle Sisters being (a) shoehorned into a different game where she had to be balanced against classes such as smalltime criminals, semi-civilian scribes and space FBI agents, and (b) FFG's version of Space Marines featuring a massively increased power gap compared to normal humans so as to make the game experience "more epic" (think of a movie like 300). Such a character would be able to "step up to the challenge" if it was supported by rules closer to how they were originally envisioned to work, but the way things currently stand I just don't believe it would fly in this P&P. Even just creating a Sister using Marine rules would be better than this, for in this case the character would actually have a good chance at damaging the same hard-to-beat enemies (some of which will be plain invulnerable to DH's "civilian" weapons), thus actually feeling useful in battle.
Unless, of course, the player in question would actually enjoy being limited to essentially play the supporting cast, having to be protected by the Marines like the pictoral damsel in distress whilst occasionally dishing out Space Magic miracles that let her Astartes companions fight even better. There are people like that. Then again, as has been pointed out, this doesn't seem to be an issue with gender but rather personal preferences. If the player dislikes Space Marines for their style, chances are she would dislike Battle Sisters just as much (regardless of the rules used), for they share a fairly similar lifestyle, just with added religious fanatism.
Ultimately, I think Kasatka nailed it. Also, judging by OP's posts, the player in question is someone who doesn't like Marines but is interested in 40k as a general setting, which sounds like a group conflict rooted in which of FFG's RPGs to play - with everyone but her excited to play Deathwatch, whilst this gamer would seem to enjoy Dark Heresy or (better yet) Rogue Trader a whole lot more. In essence, you've got a bunch of male players who can't wait to play combat-focused characters in a combat-focused game, whereas one female player has no problem with the occasional fight but ultimately wants "more" from a game, similar to Shadowrun sessions that also involve lots of legwork, planning, hacking, diplomacy et cetera.
Perhaps you could try to run a Deathwatch game that isn't that combat-heavy and also has segments heavy on character interaction and suspenseful investigation of potential xenos activities, and assure her of this beforehand. Explain the possibilities and describe the different Space Marine Chapters; I'm sure there are some that could pique her interest (especially those who aren't all about Rawr Battle but rather have some knightly theme or a tragic backstory going on). Perhaps she'll get around and play an Astartes after all, if you can just convince her that it won't be like a game of Duke Nukem with dice?
current 40k RPG character: Captain Elias, Celestial Lions Tactical Marine
previous characters: Comrade-Trooper Dasha Malenko (OW), Sister Militant Elana Melanthis (DH), Leftenant Darion Baylesworth (RT)
a thought just occurred to me while reading lynata's post: give her a rogue trader to play with. She's the captain of the ship used to ferry the marines to various warzones. A lot more work for the gm, but this will give you a vast canvass for all sorts of gamestyles. And, she doesn't hafta take any crap from the marines, as she'd be a peer of the imperium and at the very least an equal to the astartes politically. She could (if desired) play various members of her crew for the more combaty missions alongside the marines (archmilitant or somesuch).

Except that any Rogue Trader worth their Warrant would NOT venture forth on the same missions as Astartes they were somehow forced to ferry to a mission zone. I mean if you are running the standard setting of Deathwatch then itd have to be a particularly powerful trader Dynasty to get access through the warp gate to the area… then for the Deathwatch to be requiring 3rd party transportation… and then expecting the Rogue Trader to go on the missions too…
Overall if you absolutely must throw in characters from another setting then my money would be on Only War guardsmen. They are classes and so can be created to represent any number of Imperial fighters such as guardsmen, penal legions, milita, pdf, arbites or even chapter serfs! And unlike Dark Heresy they don't break the game by being overwhelmingly good at what the marines suck at (social situations, infiltration of societies that are aware of Space Marines).

Black Out?
Like (0)
So where is this mighty black out that was meant to show IW and activsion that the community would not be denied. That that community was CoD and their demands would be heard and listened too? I was just playing the game and there was over 300K on playing the game. So where did the so called black out go? It does not seem it did anything. I do not notice any changes other than I can only find games at 150ms now where before I could at least find 100ms games. Other than that, I do not see any of the mighty demands for change being implemented in the game as the so called black out video called for and demanded need to be done. That the video and it's creator spoke for the community, and the community would not be denied, because they were CoD.
It seems as if the black out was a failure and did nothing like it tried to claim it would.
The whole " Event" was a laughable notion from the start. It just seems like some people are too stupid to realize if you want to hurt a company you do it by not buying their merchandise, "refusing" to play the game for a day doesn't matter. Thank you for pointing out how uneventful that failure of a movement was.
I agree with what you say and I have always tried to express this point of view. As toward the event I felt it needed to be said for everyone that foolishly clamored and thought it would amount to something when the truth was before their eyes that it would not ever ammount to anything.
I didn't even know there was gonna be a protest until the day itself(yesterday), not that it would've made much difference. The game has issues but its still an excellent game. The organiser of this 'black out' protest should focus his efforts on high-lighting whatever issues people may have and making the developers aware of this. Although, saying that, maybe the developers will take note now theres been a protest.
The developers knew about the protest for weeks before it was ever going to happen. It had bene stated on youtube and other places and even here for nearly 2-3 weeks before this day ever came about.
Many of the things have been stated and ranted and raved and whined about on these forums and nothing has been done about most if any of them and most likely nothing will ever be done about them either at this stage in the games lifespan.
The whole idea was to scare the devs and force them to listen to the communitites demands and make the game the way the so called community wanted it. Yet time has proven time and time again, that the community in general does not really know what it wants or should have in a game. Just individuals upset that their previous skill sets no longer work as well in this game as they did in the last game.
The same as how Halo 3 so called veterans cried about Halo: Reach and all the changes it had in the game and how those changes ruined the game for the Halo 3 so called veterans.
This black out thread was nothing more than the so called CoD veterans trying to force the developers of the game to make the game play and function only how they wanted it to. They did not speak for the community as a whole as they tried to claim and never did, and never will. Yet they tried to act as if they did and to act like the developers who made this game had to listen to them when truth be told the developers do not have to listen to a think we say here ever if they chose not too.
The fact that they listen at all to some things is a miracle in itself. When realy they could come here and tell everyone just to stuff it and accept it how it was or quit playing.
Who the hell came up with that idea?
Clearly they don't have a brain.
Double XP happened.
that was not because of the black out threat. That was beacuse of ps3 getting the maps. Which as you remember when xbox got the maps xbox got dxp. So it has no relationship at all to the so called black out threat.
the blackout failed due to one simple thing.. the entire "protest" was i already bought the game but im not going to play, It's abit like filling your car up with Gas and then not driving it in protest of gas prices.
sure a few minor desperate for anything news worthy sites made a few comments and a few yt idiots mentioned it as anything remotely bandwagonable they will jump on for views..
and Activision switched on double xp
problem was they went about it entirely wrong, in a way that wouldnt affect Activision or worry them at all.
*disclaimer i didnt play yesterday as im currently away not because i was showing solidarity
I know what your saying Mac and I agree. Plus the day chosen was just stupid or poorly thought out.
I tried many times to tell people that it would not matter, it would not change anything for the simple fact that IW and Activision already had the money of the players so would not care if players did not play for one day.
Plus the dxp was about ps3 getting the maps and not really about the black out threat.
are you stupid? there is double XP, oh the same day, what a coincidence??? be realistic, even person like me who was ready to blacked out wasn"t stupid enough to do it on a such event. not that I care for xp, I ended my prestiges, but I know that is a waste of time. peoples who manage this black out should have change the day when they notice the activision poker move... but they didn't do it, so there is no way to known if this could have worked...

what you mean the double xp weekend we always historically get when another platform gets a dlc drop?
I'd say a blackout would only work if 99% percent of players across every system just stopped playing. Not for just a day, but just stopped. In fact, sold the game on eBay or craigslist, you know what I mean?
Just stop everything Call of Duty related.
The chance of that happening is about 1,000,000,000 to 1. There would still be someone buying those games and playing the game and IW would still be making money of the sells of any dlc that those new players bought.
For a black out to be successful, you need an overwhelming majority of support. Sure, back in the old days of, say, '99 Blackouts would be useless since there was no such thing as patches/DLC. The fact is, if people aren't around for DLC, Activision will be thinking twice. DLC numbers are the numbers that count, not the sales of the actual game.
Then again, there is the whole ELITE DLC handling so maybe that won't work either.
No one I talked to about it online yesterday even knew what I was talking about
With all the Quality Assurance people IW has,what could the community want to protest?
IW's answer was Double XP weekend

Bellator 77's Dave Jansen plans to extend Sports Lab's recent surge with tourney run
by Derek Bolender on Oct 15, 2012 at 11:10 am ET
It's cruel on mind and body, but going from relative unknown to a headlining commodity can become reality with only three wins in a matter of weeks.
Dave Jansen (16-2 MMA, 3-0 BFC) hopes to kick off his quick ascent when he faces Magomed Saadulaev (14-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) on the main card of Bellator 77, which takes place Friday at Reading Eagle Theatre in the Sovereign Center in Reading, Pa.
The MTV2-televised bout is one of four opening-round matchups in Bellator's Season 7 lightweight tournament. Others include Rich Clementi (44-21-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC) vs. Alexander "Tiger" Sarnavskiy (20-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC), Rene Nazare (10-2 MMA, 3-2 BFC) vs. Ricardo Tirloni (14-2 MMA, 1-1 BFC), and Marcin Held (10-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC) vs. Murad Machaev (9-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC).
The tourney winner earns $100,000 in total compensation and a title shot against current champion Michael Chandler or his future challenger, Rick Hawn.
"I'm ready for anyone in this tournament, to be honest," Jansen told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I feel I'm a bad matchup for just about everyone."
Jansen is on a 3-0 run after a 1-2 stint in the WEC. All of the wins have come under the Bellator banner, where he submitted Scott McAfee and Ashkan Morvari before earning a decision win over Jacob Kirwan in his most recent outing.
"I'm looking to go out there and of course make a statement, and get these fights finished quickly so I'm healthy for the next one," Jansen said.
Saadulaev, meanwhile, makes his promotional debut while seeking his fourth straight victory.
"His biggest attribute looks to just be his strength," Jansen said. "He's a really strong guy. He's coming down from 170 (pounds). I think he's around 5-foot-5"or 5-foot-6, so he's kind of just a barrel.
"He likes to throw a big right hand over a left hook and shoot. He's a grappler. I'm a grappler."
Despite Saadulaev having only fought overseas, mainly in his native Russia, Jansen was able to find plenty of his footage on YouTube.
"I think I definitely have the edge in the striking, especially now since I've been working with a boxing coach on the regular, Andy Minsker over at Sports Lab," Jansen said.
Minsker was 12-2 as a professional boxer in the mid-to-late 1980s.
Jansen looks to extend an impressive recent string of sterling performances put in by teammates Mike Pierce, Ian Loveland and Tyson Nam in recent weeks. Pierce and Loveland are both on two-fight win streaks with knockouts of Aaron Simpson at UFC on FX 5 and Casey Olson at Tachi Palace Fights 14 in their most recent bouts, respectively.
Not to be outdone, Tyson Nam is on a four-fight win streak, which included a first-round knockout of Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas in August at Shooto Brazil 33.
"We've got quite the talent pool now," Jansen said of his Portland, Ore.-based team.
Now it's Jansen's turn to continue to carry the flag. That is, if he can run the tournament gauntlet.
"I'm really looking forward to this opportunity and making the most of it," he said.
For the latest on Bellator 77, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

This animated short, etched directly onto tinted 70 mm film, depicts the story of two sisters: Viola, who writes novels in a dark room, and Marie, her only companion. Disfigured, Viola counts on her sister to take care of her and shelter her from the outside world. But when an unexpected stranger turns up on their front door, the sisters' quiet lives are disrupted and their routine turns to chaos.

Need help with 2 things....
On this site I'm tying to do 2 things,
Add some social media icons in the top right of the top navigation bar.
I'm trying to change the color / style the bottom navigation area. I'm open to whatever you think would be a good look here.
Whatever looks good. Do you like that look? What about a brighter color? Red maybe ?
Also how do I go about making a different class? This is a genesis theme by theme by the way.
Thanks for your help.
Well a smooth red would probably look good,Mabey like this
Well to make a new class you need to find the styles folder and look for something named style.css, open it go to line 283 and all the style for the header well be there.I am not sure though if thats where your style sheet is.I have never used the Genesis theme.

Diabetic Neuropathy
What are treatment options for a patient with diabetic neuropathy?
There are newer medications on the market that may be of benefit called duloxetine (Cymbalta) and Lyrica. You should speak with your doctor about the possibility of trying these agents either alone or in combination with other medication. I would also suggest having a referral to a neurologist for a full evaluation to make certain there is nothing else exacerbating your condition (for example, underlying never disorders, sciatica, etc) and perhaps consider getting an evaluation to look at the blood circulation in the legs. Claudication (an intermittent, cramping pain in the legs that occurs with walking that is related to poor blood circulation) can exacerbate neuropathic pain.

What the heck is the Baby Food Diet?
So what the heck is this new baby food diet craze all about?
The baby food diet probably does not sound like the most appetising diet to try out,….. and that's because it's not.
Mushy carrots and apple puree is fantastic for babies, but for those with adult size taste buds, going back can be a bit of a difficult thought.
That being said, there is no denying that the baby food diet is hugely popular.
Created by Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson about two years ago, the baby food diet took over Hollywood last year.. Stars likeJennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and even Cheryl Cole have sworn by this diet to shed those difficult pounds.
But is this just another ridiculous celebrity craze or could those tiny jars really do you and your weight loss some good?

Tax Filing Deadline Passes
By: Tim Johnston/Tyler Edwards
Updated: April 15, 2009
Post offices in Abilene posted signs warning people about the ten o'clock deadline to get their taxes sent off.
As always, some scrambled to get their taxes in by the deadline.
And some people may not have been ready tax deadline day. At that late stage, filing an extension was their only option.
Accountants at Liberty Income Tax in Abilene worked late up until midnight helping people get their taxes done before the deadline. But if you didn't get them done, there is a price to pay.
Cynthia Rodriguez, an office manager at Liberty, says that if people owe money and file their taxes late, a penalty will be attached to what is owed, and that interest rates can be steep.
But, if taxpayers are owed money by the government, they are allowed to come in late and file their tax returns at no extra cost.

(MONTVALE, NJ - APRIL, 2011) - Architects and interior designers who possess a passion for using color—and have a portfolio of projects to prove it—are invited to submit their work for the Benjamin Moore HUE Awards. In its fifth year, the competition, which recognizes exceptional use of color in architecture and interior design, will begin accepting submissions April 15, 2011, with a July 15th deadline. There is no fee to enter; downloadable entry forms and instructions are available only at www.benjaminmoore.com.
"The power and impact of color are what the Benjamin Moore HUE Awards is all about," said Eileen McComb, director of corporate communications. "And, Benjamin Moore, which has been a color authority for over a century, is proud to be able to shine the public spotlight on some of the most creative and forward-thinking design talents who have demonstrated their affinity for color and applied it in innovative and imaginative ways."
The judges for the HUE competition also have been named and are an illustrious group drawn from the worlds of design, fashion and industry. They include: Paul Goldberger , architecture critic for The New Yorker ; Tim Murray , creative director, TARGET Creative Vision Group; Hans Neubert , executive creative director, frog ; Linda O'Keeffe , design author and former creative director, Metropolitan Home magazine; and, Gary Panter , artist, graphic designer and set designer for the original "Pee-wee's Playhouse."
"The high caliber of HUE judges has always been upheld," said McComb. "We are again grateful to have enlisted another group of rarified individuals who add to the credibility and legitimacy of the awards thanks to their experience and insight."
For more information on the Benjamin Moore HUE awards, contact VP+C, 212-966-3759 x233; or, firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Benjamin Moore Benjamin Moore & Co., a Berkshire Hathaway company, was founded in 1883. One of the country's leading manufacturers of premium quality residential, commercial and industrial maintenance paints and other coatings, its products are distributed via a network of independent paint and decorating retailers throughout North America. Benjamin Moore has been a longstanding steward of the environment with a relentless commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices plus the ongoing development of the most eco-responsible paint formulations possible. Its portfolio of Green Promise® products continues to grow and includes Aura®, an über-performance low-VOC paint; Natura®, the true zero-VOC interior paint, remaining zero after tinting in any color, any sheen; and EcoSpec® zero-VOC paint for commercial interiors. The J.D. Power & Associates 2011 Interior Paint Satisfaction Study ranked Benjamin Moore highest in consumer satisfaction. What's more, the Benjamin Moore color offering of 3,300 hues is unrivaled, but any custom color choice can be matched, as was recently done for the White House Oval Office ceiling and trims. The only assurance of getting an authentic Benjamin Moore color is using Benjamin Moore paint, since the colorants and resins are proprietary and formulated with the company's own patented waterborne technologies. And, authentic Benjamin Moore colors are available exclusively from Benjamin Moore retailers.

Mohamed Morsi was sworn in Saturday as Egypt's first democratically-elected president, taking the helm of a deeply divided nation that is economically strapped and lacks a working government.
The historic ceremony took place amid tight security before the Supreme Constitutional Court and was overseen by Egypt's military rulers who have been in control of the country since Hosni Mubarak was ousted last year during a popular revolution.
"Today, the Egyptian people established a new life for complete freedom, for a true democracy," Morsi said after taking the oath.
"I swear by almighty God that I will uphold the republican system and respect the constitution of the law and look after the interests of the people," he said.
Shortly after the swearing-in, Morsi went to Cairo University, where he gave his first speech as president.
He praised the country's military, but indicated that their control of Egypt's legislative powers would return to civilian hands.
"The (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces) adhered to its pledge to not go beyond of the will of the people. And the elected institutions will come back to take their role, and the great Egyptian army will to go their job to protect the boundaries and security of the country," he said, delineating the army's role.
SCAF, which assumed legislative powers after they dissolved parliament after a court ruling, continues to wield that power even after Morsi's swearing-in. It will retain those powers until a new parliament is sworn in near the end of the year.
"We have fulfilled our obligations and the pledge that we took before God and the people. We now have a president who was elected in free elections. Egypt is witnessing a new democratic process," the head of the SCAF, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, said at a military ceremony for Morsi Saturday.
It is time to put the past behind us and learn from its lessons, he said, before presenting the president with a shield of the army.

Private college presidents pay was up slightly
C ompensation for private college presidents has continued to drift upward, while the number crossing the $1 million barrier — a signal of prestige, and a magnet for criticism — held steady at 36, according to a new survey.
The latest annual compilation by The Chronicle of Higher Education covers data from 2010, due to lag time in the release of federal tax information. That year, median compensation for the 494 presidents in the survey — leaders of institutions with budgets of at least $50 million — was $396,649, or 2.8 percent higher than in last year's survey. But median base salary fell slightly, by less than 1 percent.
The highest paid was Bob Kerrey, who was president of The New School in New York until December 2010 before returning to Nebraska, where he made an unsuccessful run to return to the U.S Senate. Kerrey's total compensation was valued at just over $3 million. His base salary was just over $600,000, but he received the remainder in the form of a retention bonus, deferred compensation and other benefits.
It is common for such payments to inflate compensation for presidents in their final year in a position. Three presidents in 2010's top 10 are no longer at those institutions: Kerrey, David Pollick of Birmingham-Southern College, and Steven Sample of the University of Southern California.
The highest-paid in 2010 who remains on the job is Shirley Ann Jackson of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, who was No. 2 at $2.34 million, followed by Pollick, at $2.31 million. The highest base salary belonged to John Sexton of New York University and totaled $1.24 million out of $1.48 million total compensation.
The Chronicle has previously compiled salary data for the presidents of public institutions, which was available for 2011. Those figures showed three public university presidents earned more than $1 million in 2011, led by Gordon Gee of Ohio State with total compensation of just under $2 million.
Then there's the other end of the scale — presidents of roughly two dozen Roman Catholic institutions including Villanova University, Boston College, Marquette and a number of smaller schools, whose compensation is zero. All are either clergy or members of religious orders.
The Chronicle reports this year that half the institutions that employed the 50 highest-paid college presidents in 2010 used a practice called "grossing up," adding additional cash and benefits to compensation packages to make up for the taxes recipients pay. The practice has been largely abandoned at publicly traded companies due to shareholder criticism, but appears alive and well in the non-profit sector.

Anyone had any issues with their 360 control continuously switching off even though it has full charge?
Me and a friend have both had it and what it is, is the battery pack for AA bats is splitting and causing loose connections which is a right bugger whilst online.
A bit of superglue down the sides and on the centre section has resolved it but it has just started to split again
I do take the bats out when its not in use because my little girl likes to switch them on so there is extra wear potentially but it still seems a little poor.

Joe Klock
"Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment."
Anthony Robbins
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you."
Contributed by: Maria Green
Lao Tzu
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."

Tom Bradley
"You just have to do your own thing, no matter what anyone says. It's your life."

Martin Luther King Jr.
"We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment."

The Logan County High School boys' basketball team picked up its third win of the season last week in the T.J. Samson Community Hospital Holiday Classic in Glasgow.
After dropping their first two games in the tournament, the Cougars rebounded to beat Metcalfe County 85-58 to improve their record to 3-7 on the year.
Logan County narrowly lost to Barren County 72-69 in the opening round of the tournament. That would have been a great game for the Cougars to pull out, as the Trojans are now 9-2 overall - which is the most wins of any team in the Fourth Region.
In the second game of the tournament, Logan County fell 83-58 to Caldwell County.
The Russellville boys' team also went 1-2 in a holiday tournament last week.
The Panthers played in the Danny Annis Memorial Eagle Classic at Ohio County High School.
They lost the tournament opener 80-76 to Breckinridge County and then fell 67-59 to Henderson County.
But RHS rebounded in the final day of the tournament with a convincing 79-51 win over Butler County. This was the second win of the season for Russellville against the Bears. The Panthers beat Butler County 97-50 at home back on Dec. 1.
Both boys teams will be playing in town this weekend as they co-host the First Southern National Bank Christmas Classic.
The Russellville High School girls' basketball team had some good success in their tournament last week.
The Lady Panthers went 2-1 in the Trigg County Christmas Tournament.
RHS lost its opener narrowly, falling 47-45 to Lone Oak.
But then Russellville won its next two contests, knocking off Heath 59-32 and Hopkins County Central 69-66.
This brings the Lady Panthers record up to 4-5 on the season. They will also be playing at home this weekend in the First Southern National Bank Christmas Classic.

Egypt's New Live Show "The Revealer of Secrets" a Success
June 5, 2009
In early May SAT-7 has began transmitting its first weekly live program from Egypt, one which takes the unique approach of utilizing a different host each week. These hosts include a well-known Coptic Orthodox priest, several senior Evangelical pastors, and a well-respected Arab Christian counselor. The program receives dozens of SMS texts each time it is broadcast along with many phone calls and emails. Its Facebook site has generated over three thousand members in just a month.
One of the program's hosts is Rev. Dr. Sameh Maurice, senior pastor of the Kasr El Dobara church in Cairo. He is excited about the show and satellite TV's potential to impact lives, "If you see most of the cities in the Arab world now, even homes in the poorest areas have satellite dishes and they are even more common than the refrigerators or ovens! Satellite TV is everywhere. The local church cannot do what the satellite can do these days. So I praise God for an open heaven now and I think this is the door God has given us to reach the multitudes."
