She never knew her parents—Granny told her that they had died when she was very young—and she always had to wear her red cloak during Wolfstime. But under Granny's rules and seemingly overprotective nature, Red began to grow restless and look for a way to go out on her own.

An outing with kids (especially in NYC) is certainly the time to show all how you do it best in your denim. Sarah Jessica Parker did just that on Mother's Day whilst out with her family in a pair of Paige Denim Bentley Wide Leg Jeans. She completed her look with a Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Mini Grey Crossbody Handbag, Tucker Chambray Smocked Collar Blouse and Gerard Darel bow embellished flats. The double denim stylish mom she is indeed accessorized with a matching set of twin girls- lovely!

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Slippery conditions made things hard for first responders on Saturday. Two firefighters were injured battling a fire in Kingston.
Firefighters were called to what they later deemed a "heavy fire" on Franklin Street around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. While searching the building, two firefighters became trapped on the second floor. They were able to escape through second floor windows.
The Kingston Fire Chief says the snowy conditions made fighting the fire extremely difficult.
"They had to dive out the window to escape the fire. They slid on the roof and came off the roof and landed on the ground," said Kingston Fire Chief John Reinhardt. One firefighter suffered a chest injury and another had a broken arm.
No one else was hurt and there's no word on a cause for the fire.

Since our announcement on Tuesday, March 20 of the donation of a ceremonial club given as a gift or in trade to Captain James Cook 234 years ago this month by the Nuu-chah-nulth people of BC's West Coast, we have received many kind congratulations and comments, plus a few questions. We thought it would be great to share some of the questions that have come to us – as well as their answers, if we know them!
Here are a few to get us started:
Q: "I found the Global Coverage of the club very interesting! I have previously seen one very similar to it and it was made of yew wood also. Why is the club so shiny in the photograph I found on the internet – was it varnished by a previous owner, or painted? I researched the club I previously saw many years ago and could not find one of any age, in the North American area that was similar, I did however find some similarity in Hawaii. I believed the club was carved in Canada – Yew wood does not grow in Hawaii as far as I know – but carved by someone of Hawaii & local descent. Interested in what you think…"
A (Answer by Karen Duffek, MOA Curator of Contemporary Visual Art & Pacific Northwest): "Thanks for your interesting query! There are indeed many questions surrounding this club, and we will continue to research its provenance. We're hoping we can do a scientific analysis of a microscopic sample of the wood at some time, although the wood does feel and look like yew, and has the right weight and density.
"MOA and other museums do have a number of similar, yew-wood, hand-and-sphere clubs, somewhat sturdier in design, and formerly used
as halibut clubs — these are all much more recent than the Cook club, with the earliest dating to the late 1800s or so, and others from the first few decades of the 20th century. These objects are, from left to right, from MOA (Kwakwaka'wakw), MOA (Northwest Coast — tribe unknown), National Museum of Natural History, Washington DC (Alaska source), and Royal BC Museum (Kwakwaka'wakw):
"The Cook club has a gorgeous patina that appears to be completely natural; it's not varnish-shiny in actuality, though there is some shininess. This is a feature of patinated yew-wood objects of some age and probably lots of handling.
"Our curator with expertise in the South Pacific does not feel there is anything closely similar there, though she did hear from a colleague that there are comparable items in the Marquesas. So I will be interested to see some photos of those. I think the motif likely does have a universal presence in different forms."
If you have other questions or comments, please let us know! Thanks…

Customs seize 30 million smuggled cigarettes at docks
2:10pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in News
One of the biggest ever hauls of smuggled cigarettes has been discovered in Southampton.
An investigation has been launched after more than 30 million cigarettes were seized at the city's container port in a shipment that was supposed to be full of wind turbines.
The haul, which is the largest Southampton has ever seen, was uncovered last week, when Border Force officers discovered 8.5 million cigarettes crammed inside a cargo container on Friday March 1.
Further investigations led officers to another two containers full of the illegal imports, bringing the total number seized to 30.3 million.
The smugglers were trying to avoid paying £8 million in taxes and duty and had described the containers' contents as "wind turbine parts" on import documents.
The three cigarette laden containers were loaded onto a cargo vessel in the Shenzhen area of China.
The incident has now been referred to HM Revenue and Customs for investigation.
John Cooper, assistant director of the HMRC's criminal investigation team, said: "The diligence of Border Force officers has prevented a huge quantity of cigarettes, believed to be Chinese counterfeits, from reaching the UK's streets.
"The sheer scale of this haul would undoubtedly have seen criminal gangs selling the tobacco to retailers, clubs, car boot sales and eventually UK consumers.
"HMRC will continue to work with Border Force to crackdown on tobacco fraud, which costs the UK Government around £1.8 billion a year."
Anyone with information about the incident, or tobacco smuggling in general, should contact the Customs' Hotline on 0800 59 5000.

one attack tomb guard will fare fine against the books where the 'elite' infantry only have one attack, like dwarves and empire
And you do have a spell to give them an additional attack...can't count on it, of course.
Its a fairly reliable cast (9+) and with most people running large amounts of magic and a compulsory priest with that lore, quite likely haha.
The real value of the halberds is to chop through heavy armour units hopefully augmented by some kind of I10 spell (if only we had light... oh wait!) in addition to killing blow. 1 attack per model should more than suffice for that task.
the anti-horde will be terror causing units and constructs that can dish out a large number of painful attacks.
There comes a time in every man's life when he needs to put his toy soldiers down.
And pick up new ones!
+1 CR for charging and possibly +1 for rank and +1 standard. Also don't forget will be higher str on charge and that the horses can attack as well.
The point of war machine hunters is just to tie up the war machine, killing it is a bonus.
That said I think I'm liking stalkers more for war machine hunting. You pop out and if you get lucky you can kill a war rmachine with the gaze, if you do than you combine a charge with maybe some knights in the flank/rear and prevent the unit from combat reforming. If you don't kill the wamachine you can have a weak unit like swarms hit it (although I wish it was 1+ instead of 2+) and move your stalkers to more important targets.
Is anyone else thinking that Settras Herald and a TK with the death mask is a deadly combo for a unit? I still think Khalida doesn't belong in a list anymore, she's way too expensive for just giving bowmen 4+ and poison. I'd rather spend points on someone who is going to actually do something.

If I can use a TK king with death mask to make those absurd LD10 blocks of skaven slaves flee in terror I am going to start a new TK army immediately.
Some people are saying that the stalker gaze attack doesn't work on warmachines.
I don't agree as I think that you're supposed to use the crew Initiative, and it seems like at least someone from GW agree too :

I agree completley, if they can't destroy war machines though I can't really see me taking them (although if the models are as they could as look in the pics I may just have to) as they wouldn't really have much use then. Although I wonder if you could use them as mage snipers. Is it something like 15-18 S1 hits of average ignoring armour saves? It could be quite brutal.
I'm inclined to agree with you. People also seem to underestimate that they easily benefit the most of any construct from the +1 attack spell (assuming it benefits both rider and mount).
12 s5 posioned +9 st4 (str 5 on the charge) kb = 21 st 5 attacks on charge, 3+ armor save (possibly re-rollable) and most likey 6+ regen all for around 200 points (depending on some options)*.
*(this is all based on the rumors I've seen some of this info might not be accurate)

It all comes down to freewill. The human will is a very powerful thing. That's why if it's their will to get high there is nothing you can do to stop the. Also if they want to get sober there is nothing you can do to stop them.
That's incorporated into my Harm Reduction Plan. The user would be the only one with the authority to declare themselves an addict. They would go to the same place to enroll in a treatment program that they get their drugs. It would also be treatment on demand. You declare yourself an addict and 1-4 hours later you are in a treatment program. So everytime they walk into a Harm Reduction Facility they would make the decission to walk through one door to buy their drugs or walk through the other door to declare themselves an addict and get help.

Great scarf in Maritime blue - soft, stylish and a deep, rich color. However, it is not Italian in any way...it is made in Turkey. There is nothing wrong with that except they are very different countries.

Bought this scarf in Mallard, and while the colour is a lovely deep teal/emerald green, the overall quality and wearability of the scarf is low. No matter how much I iron the scarf, it seems to crinkle and crumple into this wrinkly mess after only an hour or so of wear. The linen material does not 'fall out' or release the wrinkles either--you have to literally re-wash, hang to dry and then iron again. I expected given the fabric that the scarf would have a bit of structure and keep shape, but by the end of the day it looks like I have a rag or a cast off from a cheap production of 'Les Mis' or something around my neck. Disappointing, especially given the high price point on these. I won't buy again. Something with a bit of pashmina is a bit softer and definitely more forgiving.

Detecting Suspect Traffic
With the release of the much-awaited Linux 2.4.0 kernel early this year, GNU/Linux received a major boost toward entering the realm of enterprise-class operating systems. Several areas of the kernel have been improved since the 2.2.x series, not the least of which is the firewall code. Netfilter in the 2.4.x kernel series replaces the old ipchains firewall code in the 2.2.x series and incorporates many features that are required in an enterprise-class firewall, such as statefullness, DoS protection/rate limiting, network address translation (NAT), MAC address filtering and, last but not least, TCP packet filtering and logging based on arbitrary combinations of TCP flags. By contrast, ipchains (in addition to not being stateful, etc.) have the lamentable limitation of being able to distinguish between only two types of TCP packets: those that set and those that do not set the SYN flag. Netfilter's ability to distinguish arbitrary TCP flag combinations allows advanced port scans, such as those that are easily leveraged against a machine via nmap, to be detected. First we need a bit of background on nmap so that we can illustrate both how advanced port scans work and how to detect them.
nmap is the world's best-known port scanner and incorporates many advanced port scanning techniques that can be used to detect open ports on a target machine and/or network. In addition, nmap incorporates operating system fingerprinting and TCP sequence number prediction (among other things) to give better reconnaissance information than can be gleaned by determining which ports are open on a target machine. Three particularly interesting types of TCP scanning modes that nmap supports are FIN, NULL and XMAS scans. In normal TCP traffic, a FIN packet (or packet that has the FIN flag set) can be sent by either end of a TCP connection indicating that the session is finished or, more precisely, that there is no more data to be sent. A FIN scan works on the principle that an orphaned FIN packet (i.e., one that is not already part of an existing TCP session) sent to an open TCP port should not be acknowledged. If such a packet is sent to a closed port, however, a normal unfiltered TCP stack is supposed to respond with an RST packet. Hence, to scan a host with FIN packets, nmap simply sends a single FIN packet to each of the target ports and waits for RST packets to trickle back. Ports that do not respond with an RST are open (or filtered by a firewall). Both the NULL and XMAS scans function similarly, but instead of setting only the FIN flag, the XMAS scan also sets the URG and PSH flags, whereas the NULL scan utilizes TCP packets that have no flag set whatsoever.
The basic principle in setting up a secure firewall is to have a default deny stance in which all traffic not explicitly allowed by the firewall is denied or rejected. In addition, the firewall should be configured to log any unauthorized packets to a log file for analysis by the system administrator or by automated logfile watchers such as psad.
For more information on getting iptables to run on your system, I highly recommend Rusty Russell's "Netfilter HOWTO", available at netfilter.samba.org.
# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot source destination ACCEPT all anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT TCP anywhere anywhere TCP dpt:ssh flags:FIN, SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG/SYN ACCEPT TCP anywhere anywhere TCP dpt:www flags:FIN, SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG/SYN LOG TCP anywhere anywhere LOG level warning prefix `DENY ' DROP TCP anywhere anywhere
Does such an iptables policy stops port scans? First, any TCP packet (regardless of TCP flags) sent to a destination port other than 80 or 22 will be logged by rule number four and then dropped by rule number five. This takes care of any noisy scans of any type against any of the 65535 TCP ports other than 80 and 20. What about scans that test whether 80 and 22 are open? The answer is that it depends upon the type of scan. Rules three and four accept packets that have the SYN flag set and all other flags cleared, so any scan that makes use of just SYN packets will succeed. Also, any scans that make use of normal TCP connect() system calls, as a normal web browser or SSH client would use, will succeed since rule number one allows three-way TCP handshakes to complete.
nmap supports both of these scanning techniques with the -sS (half-open or SYN scan) and -sT (TCP connect() scan) command-line switches. Any other scanning technique that is not based on legitimate TCP traffic to these ports will be blocked and logged. Such scans include the FIN, XMAS and NULL scans mentioned in the nmap section, as well as SYN/FIN and ACK scans.
Now that we are reasonably confident that our iptables firewall will block port scans, we should not become complacent with our success. It is not enough just to block scans; we should also do our level best to detect them, as a port scan could be a precursor to a more advanced attack.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Meet the Innkeepers
Your hosts Brian and Lynn purchased the Wilbur Ballard House in May of 2012. Brian and Lynn have dreamed of becoming innkeepers for over 15 years. Originally from Pennsylvania, they planned on moving to the New England area, narrowed their search to New Hampshire and felt the Ballard House was a perfect fit when they first saw it. Prior to opening the Inn, Brian was a builder and Lynn was in Sales. They both enjoy traveling, food and love to spoil their pets! Brian, Lynn and Newton look forward to meeting you!
Stuck for that special gift for a birthday, wedding, anniversary - or just a plain old 'thank you'. Why not reward your nearest and dearest with a Ballard House Inn Gift Certificate? With a redemption value of your choosing, it is the perfect gift for that very special occasion. -
The historic Wilbur W Ballard boarding house was built in and around 1784. The Ballard House was built to house some of the many local travelers and students that attended and visited The Belknap College. As time went on The Ballard House has been the home to many different families over time. In 1946 Helen Hegarty purchased the home for her family. As years went on the house was then sold to the John Dever family in the early 1980's this is where Meredith Tire Company was established and run out of the barn adjacent to the family home. Then in 1989 Townsend Thorndike of Annalee Doll Company purchased the home and manufactured the world famous Annalee Dolls right out of the barn as well. In 2002 the Houle family purchased The Ballard House, and today the Ballard House sits fully restored to its original charm it once had. It is easy to understand why The Ballard House Inn is so popular with tourists and locals alike.

"The absolute best!"
Reviewed July 16, 2012
We were looking for a last-minute place to stay for a night in the Lakes Region after a long day of driving, and from the minute we called for a reservation until we checked out, the whole experience was wonderful. Brian was so friendly, welcoming and attentive. The house is stunning and although it's 250-some years old, you would never know it from the beautiful renovations and modern amenities--but still retaining the New England charm (not to mention, kept impeccably clean). We only stayed for a night (wish it could have been longer!) but truly felt at ease and like we were in our own home. Enjoy a complimentary beer, wine, coffee from the swing on the back porch with a view almost too picturesque to be real. I can easily see why this was rated the top B&B in the Meredith area on TripAdvisor. Stay here and you will not be disappointed. Hoping I can return again soon.

Perfect in so many ways; Brian, Lynn and Newton were great hosts. The Inn was immaculate and very well appointed. So close to the lake and downtown Meredith but not too close. The lake-view from the swing on the back porch was amazing. An open coffee and wine bar, gourmet breakfasts with fresh herbs from the back porch, the cool breezes on a hot summer day, a rabbit hopping by but in no hurry. Family members stop by to see us for but an hour and they are all planning their own visits now. We're planning our next visit too with quests. I can't imagine how beautiful it would be in the Fall or how great it would be in support of skiing at nearby Gunstock. We felt like we were family and have friends in Meredith now... anyone would. An unbelievable experience! Well done Brian, Lynn and Newton and many thanks!

"You must stay here at the most hospitable B&B around town!"
Reviewed July 10, 2012
This is most definitely the top B&B's surrounding Meredith/Lake Winnipesaukee area. From the moment it was booked until we checked out everything was impeccable. Brian, the owner's hospitality, is incomparable to any. The house was incredibly beautiful and the room we stayed in was so quaint, nice and very clean. Every morning the breakfast was delicious from bacon, french toast, granola in yogurt, fruit, quiche and more (every morning's meal was unique). We enjoyed listening to the record player in the living area, Brian's dog Newton, as well as watching the sunset over the lake and mountains on the back porch swing! Brian also gave us great recommendations on restaurants, and a wonderful kayaking place down by town, which we had an amazing experience there as well. Overall, this B&B is the most hospitable one we have ever been to and cannot wait to return. Everyone should definitely consider stay here when you visit. You will not regret it. Enjoy :)
Thank you Brian for making our trip so incredible. Looking forward to coming back! -Kristen & Patrick

This NH lake area is gorgeous, and there is no better place to enjoy it than the Ballard House Inn. The view from the extensive porch is to die for; Brian, the innkeeper (on his own, as Lynn was away when we visited), is one of the friendliest, most accommodating people we've ever met; the breakfasts are outstanding (and healthy); the rooms are so immaculate that the old saying,"One could eat off of the floors," applies. Last, but not least, is Newton, the Ballard House Inn's dog, a good will ambassador for sure. People who like dogs will love Newton. And people who are not comfortable around dogs will change their minds once they have met Newton! All around, this B&B is a winner.

May, 1955 1955 Legislature Helps Highways Financing, Construction Aided Measures enacted by the 1955 Minnesota Legislature will serve the state's trunk and local highways as much or more than the enactments of any Minnesota Legislature in many .vs. ills adopted by the recent 1955 session and signed by Governor Orville L. Freeman, pave the way for great benefits in the financing of all highways in the state and will materially improve the means for enforcement of traffic safety regulations. Other action at the sessions will facilitate highway and bridge construction at locations where acutely needed. The 1955 Legislature also gave final approval to construction of a much needed headquarters building for the Highway department, to cost not more than $6,000,000 and to be erected in the capitol group of buildings in St. Paul. This will relieve present serious congestion of the department's headquarters facilities and will permit consolidation in a single location of units now distributed in five locations in the St. Paul Midway, the state capitol (the newly acquired Chauffeur's License bu- ^jU^), and at the University of The 1955 Legislature's biggest single act to aid adequate financing of urban and local highways was enactment of a bill calling for submission to the voters at the 1956 general election of a proposed constitutional amendment. If approved by the electorate, the amendment will provide a new division of highway user's tax revenues (from a common fund combining revenues from state gasoline and motor vehicle taxes) which now total about $75,000,000 annually. Under the proposed new distribution, 62 per cent of the total revenue would go to the state trunk highway fund, 29 per cent to the state's 87 counties, and the remaining nine per cent to municipalities of more than 5,000 population. Present division is about 80 per cent to the state and the other 20 per cent to the counties. By the proposed new distribution, the state highway fund would sacrifice part of its share to provide a materially larger share than heretofore for construction and maintenance of county roads. However, the state's cities of over 5,000, in which the traffic problem has become increasingly acute, for the first time would receive a direct share of highway user revenues for street improvements. The Legislature's action further provides for the naming of an interim legislative commission to study individual county and municipal allocations of state collected highway funds. On the basis of its study, the commission is to prepare a proposed official formula for distribution of present state aid and county aid road funds and (Continued on page 2) He Leaves Bridge Post County Road Bonds Authorized Biggest single service by the 1955 Legislature to county roads in Minnesota was its authorizing counties to issue up to $250,000 each of bonds to provide funds to match federal aid available for county roads. The counties are not required to'include the bonds in their net debt. A number of counties have been restricted in obtaining federal funds for then highways because they have lacked sufficient tax revenues to match the federal allocations, as required by the federal government. Traffic Laws Are Tightened In the cause of greater traffic safety, which is a prime responsibility of the Highway department, the 1955 State Legislature adopted a half-dozen measures aimed at clamping down with increased severity on traffic law violators. Principal among these were an increase in the personnel of the State Highway Patrol and the law enabling traffic courts to impound both motor vehicle licenses and registration cards of any violator who drives after suspension or revocation of his driver's license. The Legislature also enacted a new speed law, but contrary to miles per hour to an absolute speed general opinion, this law does not limit. arbitrarily change the State's pres- Actually, what the law does is ent prima facie speed limit of 60 authorize the Commissioner of Highways to establish and post absolute speed limit zones. They may be 60 miles per hour (50 at night) or higher or lower than 60, but in order to become absolute speed zones, the beginning and end of each zone on each highway must be clearly marked as "Absolute Speed Limit". The absolute provision does not become effective until and unless specific zones are established and marked. Elsewhere the previous state law establishing 60 miles per hour daytime (and 50 at night) as prima facie evidence of speed above that which is "reasonable and prudent" continues in force, as a contributing cause to arrest. The Legislature authorized the addition of 29 more patrol officers and 10 more supervisory officers to the State Highway patrol, bringing the patrol's total strength to 255 members. It also gave highway patrol officers broader powers of arrest. The impounding provision not only authorizes the courts to impound the motor vehicle license plates and registration cards of any person driving after suspension or revocation of his driver's license, but also if the car owner knowingly permits use of his vehicle by an unauthorized driver.

Is it worthwhile to get the Battalion box for Skaven right now? I'm wondering if it's better to hold off in case the Isle of Blood set has all of the minis BoLS claims it has, and splitting two sets with someone to get double the skaven along with everything non-elfy in the set... My only issue is that if I don't have the minis now, so I'd need to proxy or borrow minis to get some practice games in...
Basically, all I have right now are 20 clanrats, 20 nightrunners/gutter runners, a doomwheel and a screaming bell kit (with no plague monks to pull it as a plague furnace).
Oh, and some of my brother's 5th ed orcs and gobbos, and the contents of the Skull pass set, about 20 pounds of metal dwarfs I got from Matt Varnish, and old chaos dwarfs.
Should I just get some practice games in with the Dorfs until the new starter kit comes out?
(Wait, that makes SENSE. that's CHEATING.)

on the dvd bay said there were originally 15 bots but due to budget they cut them out

There were already the 13 bots:
Optimus Prime
We already know that Arcee was originally going to be in it, but that she was cut out, so the only question would be the last remaining bot that may have been planned. Who knows. It could have been anybody.. from Thundercracker to Wheeljack.

Was Prowl in the movie? Anywho, I'd love to see him in the sequel.
Lots of rumors were floating around back then. Although in some discussions, Soundwave was brought up a lot by people working with the movie. If I can remember correctly he was dropped due to Frenzy being made.
i think i read or heard somewhere that blackout was originally meant to be soundwave, but was changed due to bad audience reactions... although i could be wrong...
if arcee was planned to appear in the first but cut out because of budget constraints, then there might be a chance for her to appear in transformers 2.
I like all of them.They shouldn't show rodimus til three and only when optimus prime dies off.Till then all of them should be interesting.I would like to see blurr,for one reason alone.His fast voice.I think the kiddos would remember his voice.
To be honest even as probably the biggest hotrod fan here i dont think roddimus should be introduced, if any autobot should take charge they should bring in Ultra Magnus and let him take charge but.... the worst thing they could do is kill off Optimus Prime. Hasbro made that mistake once and it didn't really work for them. Deep down although Megatron was apparently killed we all know he will make a return, So killing of Optimus would be a very bad idea!
shut up cade! and as for you hot rod,eeerrrgghhh!!! what else can I say.raddimus should't be in the flick at all....are you nutts or just a sick and twisted fanboynext to prime raddimus was the best thing that ever happened to the autobots buddy.ultramagnus as much as I would love to see him in the movie always struck me as a cheap ripp off of prime trying to give a truck new leadership that was similiar to primes construct...
as for the missing bots it was arcee and tidal wave.I think bay wanted to give a sneak peek at the end of the movie but due to budget and story lines he went with starscream flying back to cybertron.
"Autobots, let's go dismantle us some decepticons; So transform and roll out!"
Sorry Rad but he was not the best thing to happen to the Autobots. You know already that I myself dont really like Rodimus Prime. Hotrod was ok as he was but making him leader was all wrong. Once he took the Matrix and combined with it he grew and even took on a truck look. You cant tell me that wasnt a rip off of Optimus? Dont beat me up now!!! I had to mess with you a bit about the subject. LOL
MESS with me a bit;... Will you?... You generic bot! OOoohhh I mean shadow bot;LOL Hot rod related to spike/sam.is a weak childish bot,which is shown by the Fact that is Raddimus took over for ultra magnus and was the only AUTOBOT able to take in the matrix besides prime!
"Autobots, let's go dismantle us some decepticons; So transform and roll out!"
Sorry but Rodimus was a waste of screen time in the TF G1 series.As you can tell i never like Rodimus Prime.Nothing presonal Rad
HotRod became Rodimus after taking in or using the Matrix.
But if they do go down that line of killing off Optimus Prime and have HotRod take the Matrix. I just hope they leave HotRod as HotRod not turn him into somthing else.
I don't know how they could do this but maybe Rodimus could be in a movie with out killing off prime or making HotRod become Rodimus. I guess it just depends on how much of the story timeline they use from G1 if any.

Is Turkish EU membership now dead in the water?
Despite the fact that Liberal Democrats Europe-wide have just backed Turkish EU membership officially - meaning that Labour, the LibDems and the Conservatives in Britain all now support that huge phase of enlargement - Van Rompuy's appointment as the first ever permanent President of the EU could be a signal that Turkey's entry into the EU is highly unlikely in the near future.
Here is what our new unelected EU President has to say on the subject of Turkish membership:
"Turkey is not a part of Europe and will never be part of Europe. An expansion of the EU to include Turkey cannot be considered as just another expansion as in the past".
"The universal values which are in force in Europe, and which are fundamental values of Christianity, will lose vigour with the entry of a large Islamic country such as Turkey."
Or maybe I'm just a pissed off eurosceptic clutching at straws?

I don't really get the objection to Turkey joining, apart from German racism.
Greece supports it, and so do all our major parties.
I agree with some "hold" on Turkish free movement of labour util we have more equal economies, but I see no reason Turks are to be considered lower than the Ducth, Greeks, Italians, Latvians or Romanians (etc).
The territory of Turkey is integral to all European history, and the Ottoman Empire, as the precursor to Ottoman Turkey was a central part of the European power system in the 18th and 19th century.
Plus, Turks are often nice people and have really great food. - 20 November 2009 22:11

A good start for Van Rompuy. If he carries on like this, he might earn my grudging respect.

What's also ridiculous is that the Ukraine isn't going to be countenanced with accession talks if they want them, because it's 'too big'. Turkey is more populous.
Geographic grounds cannot be upheld - Cyprus is, while culturally European, Asian in it's entirety.
Turkey has the specific issues of cultural differences (while the Ottoman Empire covered a lot of SE Europe, those places are more Byzantine/Greek in culture, rather than Turkish), North Cyprus and possibly Armenia to contend with, on top of the standard freedom and economic issues.
On the Freedom issues it scores rather low - its vast Muslim majority making Christians, etc social pariahs and its extreme French-style (ie in public life, expression of religious views is banned) secularism oppressing the Muslim majority. http://www.artsakank.com.cy/en/news/general/2009/turkey-fails-big-freedom-thought-religion-study-sh
Freedomhouse.org has Turkey as Partially free - 3.0 (the most free score in the partially free scale) this year: the same as Macedonia and Montenegro (other possible countries for entry). Belarus is 6.5 (the same as China and Saudi Arabia) - so rightly will be ignored by the EU if it wants to join. The Ukraine is 2.5. The lowest EU members are Romania and Bulgaria, level with Croatia (which is the massive favourite for the next country to join the EU) at 2.0. Italy, Greece and Latvia are at 1.5 and the other EU countries are at the lowest score of 1.0.
With time and and a lot of progress, I see no reason why Turkey should be allowed to join. However a lot of progress is needed! - 23 November 2009 13:40

The reason people label those "punk rawk" bands on MTV as posers, is because those bands = posers.
Punk died in the 1980s. I wish they'd stop trying to resurrect it. I've debated this over and over. Punk is dead, kids. Get over it. Now, I bet some of you will ask, "Zack, why does this matter?". I'll tell you why this matters. It matters because the genre is dead, and now the bands who claim they are punk are NOT a part of this genre, they are a sub-genre of pop, which is why it's called "POP-Punk". It's popular to like this new "punk rawk", and quite frankly, the record execs are only making money off this new "genre" they've created. "But these bands are REAL punks! LOLOMG!" Sorry, kid. No, they aren't. Punk died before you were born, I'm sure. I'm not saying that anyone shouldn't listen to this new, pro-found genre of "music", that's up to them. I'm just saying that punk rock is dead, because it is. Bands of this new "genre" do nothing but whine their damn heads off. This new "genre" is basically a sped up version of emo music. Oh man, do I HATE emo music. It's not for me. I don't like listening to guys who sound like they got sacked in the nutsack by a football player whining about how their girlfriends left them for the guy who works in the donut shop. Thanks, but no thanks. I don't mean to sound rude, but i'm tired of listening to these MTV-watching 12 year olds who think Simple Plan and Good Charlotte are the best PUNK bands ever. These kids don't... |

the word the evil posers (AKA spawn of satan) use to besmirch the goodname of punk rock, bands like dead kenadys are real punk rock bands, not bloody avril lavigne or simple plan or good charlotte(who all just need to find a place to die). Also the girl who wrote the message above mine needs to be hit on the head with something very very heavy. (also i apolagise for my inhability to spell) 11 year old teeny bopper: Like omg! i just like bought the new avril lavigne album! IM SO PUNK RAWK!
Other 11 year old teeny bopper: Like omfg! me too! lets go put on our baby blue t-shirts that say PUNK in sparkly silver lettering, go down to Hot Topic and be punk together! Me: please die, right now, i am not even joking |

People who are considered less than cool, because the lie to brag about music and steal Avril Lavignes (supposed) style. Usually includes Xs in front of names, and they like to make 50 grammatical errors per sentence. ''Ximsopunkilykeblink182X''

Who are you going to believe; the nightly broadcast,the battleship ready to rain destruction from orbit?

W40K setting is not by default children friendly, so if you try to convince the parents that this is case it will probably be pretty much uphill.
However, the way you treat the material can be very children friendly, so I suppose your best avenue is to get the parents to accept you as a competent supervisor/teacher.
Generel benefits from roleplaying found with a quick goole search: http://condor.admin.ccny.cuny.edu/~mr9643/Benifits%20of%20Role%20Play.htm
You can probably find other sites that might be better.
Without signature
Please help me understand this a little better…Bloodreaper, is it?
You have 8 and 9 year olds sitting around a table listening to someone describe a writhing mass of viscous maggots in the form of a humanoid that uses horrific technology to turn people into dead ashes, and their parents may not be cool with this?
Who are you going to believe; the nightly broadcast,the battleship ready to rain destruction from orbit?
I hate typing this:
If the parents have done their duty and read the book they've probably made the right call. Fantasy Flight Games has a lot of games suitable for the younger crowd, and despite the child's level of maturity and roleplay ability it's highly questionable that she should be playing it. The game is full of horrific concepts, theistic quandries, and amoral behavior that when compared to an ESRB rating would earn it an MA rating.
You might be able to convince them that a seperate system and setting would be a suitable replacement, but on Dark Heresy I'd suggest you let it go. It saddens me since I think FFG has done a fantastic job with the system and setting.
I have to agree with the parents here as I would not allow my kids to play it at that age either. Dark heresy has a lot of themes which are more suitable for adults. There are plently of other roleplaying games which are kid friendly.
I hear them dice rolling games make kids worship Satan and practice witchcraft!
Orkses never lose. If we win, we win, if we die, we die fightin' so it don't count. If we runs fer it, it don't count neither 'cus we can come back fer anuvver go, see?
It would probably be worth getting to know whether or not the parents have a problem with their kid playing any P&P RPG, or playing Dark Heresy in particular. The latter would be understandable and should be respected, but the former is something where the parents themselves could be given a bit of education, for the sake of their children who seem to enjoy playing and could very well be "nurtured" to become the next generation of RPG gamers.
How about, instead of running Dark Heresy, you'd do Rogue Trader instead? Almost the same system and setting, yet with a much stronger focus on diplomacy, economy and scheming rather than sci-fi horror. Not every DH campaign has to actually incorporate horror, but it is a fairly major aspect of the game.
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)
Think of Rogue Trader as a gothier Star Trek.
Orkses never lose. If we win, we win, if we die, we die fightin' so it don't count. If we runs fer it, it don't count neither 'cus we can come back fer anuvver go, see?
If it is due to the subject matter (rather than the idea of roleplaying) then I can understand. I always find it odd that parents are seemingly fine about kids (quite young kids in some cases. I have seen 5 year olds in GW) playing in the 40k universe, but then I suspect 1) they don't know anything about it and 2) their kids don't actually get much into the nitty gritty and just think "SPACE MARINES AWESUM!" The universe itself, as other have said is rather child unfriendly. Personally, I would think a 13/14 year old can handle it, as long as you don't go too much into it. A group of dark investigators hunt down and destroy hideous monsters, yes. Going into the paranoia and amorality of the Inquisition in detail: probably not. Basically, when it comes to executing people just for having seen the wrong thing I would feel off playing that with younger teenagers… on the other hand they probably wouldn't care.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if they let the same child watch very violent films. People often have very odd different standards for things.
If they have a problem with roleplaying itself… well, then they either have mistaken ideas of what RPGs involve, or they are just.. wrong.
