Best Food Products | February 2013 10 Must Haves We're Crushing On This Month by Susannah Chen 2/01/13 20 Reactions 18 Shares Print 3 6 9 0 0 If we thought January was busy, it's because we had no 2013 frame of reference: with the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, and our favorite award show, the Oscars, February is going to be action-packed. Thankfully, we've got a few new obsessions to keep us fueled through the month! From Chinese cooking tools to New Orleans desserts, see what we're crushing on right now. Start Carbon Steel Wok What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As a home cook who happens to be ethnically Chinese, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't own a wok, especially around the food-centric Lunar New Year. This year, I'm investing in stir-fry guru Grace Young's top recommendation: a 14-inch, flat-bottomed carbon steel wok with a long wooden handle, like this version from Helen Chen ($29). — Susannah Chen, editor 1 / 10 Veuve Clicquot Rosé What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier grapes combine to create one of my favorite Rosé Champagnes: Veuve Clicquot Rosé ($67). The flavor reminds me of fresh Summer strawberries and French croissants. — Anna Monette Roberts, assistant editor 2 / 10 Haribo Ginger-Lemon Gummi Candy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm an ardent Haribo fan and love nearly anything that's spiked with citrus and ginger, so I was hardly surprised to find myself utterly obsessed with its latest flavor: Ginger-Lemon ($19 for a case of 12). Bright, zingy, and with just the right amount of gingery tingle, they're my new go-to sweet. — Nicole Perry, assistant editor 3 / 10 Williams-Sonoma Valentine Cupcake Toppers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I love conversation heart candies and I also love cupcakes, but now I don't have to decide which one to choose with these adorable Valentine cupcake toppers ($12). — AMR 4 / 10 Perfect Champagne Coupes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The last few months I've been on an obsessive quest to track down the perfect champagne coupe for serving up bottles of bubbles and Prohibition-era cocktails. Most were overdesigned or big and clunky, but not these elegantly petite clean-lined beauties ($114 for 24). Even better, they're intended for restaurant use and are therefore dishwasher-safe. — NP 6 / 10 Doberge Cake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 King cake is great and all, but in 2013, I want to celebrate Mardi Gras with doberge cake, that oft-overlooked other cake from New Orleans. It not only boasts a luscious buttercream frosting, but also more than six alternating layers of cake and chocolate pudding — and for $85, iconic bakery Gambino's will ship one to you overnight. — SC Source: Flickr User smoorenburg 6 / 10 Numi Artisan Tea Blending Kit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Numi's Artisan Tea Blending Kit ($30) is an inspired idea for tea enthusiasts. It features ingredients like green tea, black tea, white tea, rooibos, mint, ginger, lemongrass, orange peel, cinnamon, and rose petals as well as a recipe book, teapot, and teasacs to help you become a tea blending master at home. — AMR 7 / 10 Back of the House by Scott Haas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A psychologist walks into a restaurant . . . So begins the journey of Scott Haas, author of the new Back of the House: The Secret Life of a Restaurant ($16). In this first-of-its-kind tome, clinical psychologist Haas follows the kitchen staff at Boston's acclaimed Craigie on Main restaurant, examining the demands — and, more importantly, the drive — behind some of the world's greatest chefs. — SC 8 / 10 Kishu Binchotan Charcoal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Filtered water is a must in my household, but the utilitarian design of my standard-issue water filter makes me cringe every time I open the fridge. I aim to change that by snapping up a set of charcoal shards ($20) that can be plopped into a design-forward pitcher. Eyesore eliminated! — NP 9 / 10 Every Grain of Rice What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I adore Asian cuisine, but cooking it at home can be a bit intimidating without the proper guidance. Thankfully, the inimitable Fuchsia Dunlop has once again come to the rescue with Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking ($35), a comprehensive tome on Southern Chinese home cuisine — particularly apropos given the year of the snake is right around the corner. — NP 11 / 10 3 6 9 0 0 Back to Homepage Read More Chinese New YearWilliams-SonomaHariboHelen ChenValentine's DayFood ShoppingMust Haves Valentine's Day Embrace Your Foxy Side With This Fresh Take on Boudoir 1 week ago Stop — You're Washing Your Lingerie All Wrong! 2 weeks ago A Little Love Goes a Long Way: Basic French Macarons 2 weeks ago We Spy: Celebrity Hairstyles!

One of the first steps to planning your trip is to secure a passport. Your passport must be valid until at least six months after your arrival date and must have at least two empty pages available.
- South Africa law requires that travelers have at least two (2) consecutive completely blank (unstamped) pages in their passport which lie side by side when the passport is open (i.e. – a left and right-hand page.) This provision is strictly enforced by the immigration authorities at the airport in Johannesburg.
- Individuals without a minimum of two (2) clear pages and an expiration date beyond six (6) months may be refused entry into South Africa, fined and returned to their point of origin at their personal expense. In addition, any trip to a neighboring country during your trip would necessitate additional blank pages upon re-entry.
- If you have not already obtained a passport, you should do so immediately by contacting the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 877-4USA-PPT (877-487-2778).
- Obtaining a passport through the routine method takes approximately four to six weeks from the time of the application. The passport fee is $100 for adults and $85 for minors.
- Expedited service can be offered through the U.S. State Department, allowing a passport to obtained in roughly two weeks. There is an additional $60 fee for expedited service.
- If you are travelling internationally and need a passport within 14 days, you can schedule an appointment with a Regional Passport Agency by calling 1-877-487-2778.
- A parent traveling with children, without the other parent, must provide a letter of consent authorizing travel of the child or children with the accompanying parent.
Citizens of the following countries do NOT require a visa to enter South Africa on vacation: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Spain, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Uruguay, United States of America, Venezuela
For more information and further details on visas, visit http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/visas.asp.
Part of the preparation for travel is essential to have all of your vaccinations up to date prior to your departure to South Africa. It is advisable to discuss your vaccination history with your family physician or local clinic prior to your trip. If you are entering the country from the United States, you are not required to have vaccinations prior to entering South Africa. If you are entering South Africa from a country where yellow fever is found, you will need a certificate to prove you have been inoculated against the virus.
Here are some web sites that can assist with your trip in regards to vaccinations:
Many of the main tourist areas are malaria-free. However, it is recommended that travelers use mosquito repellent, wear long pants, closed shoes, and light long-sleeved shirts at night.
It may also be beneficial to consult your doctor or a specialist travel clinic for the latest advice concerning malaria prophylaxis.
Travel & Evacuation Insurance
It is recommended that U.S. travelers review current individual health insurance policies and consider obtaining Travel & Evacuation insurance if your policy does not include this currently.
Be sure to leave a copy of your itinerary with family in case they need to contact you during an emergency. It is also recommended that you register your visit with the U.S. State Department travel registration website. Registration can be done through the State Department website.
Time Standard: (GMT + 2 hours)
- The entire country of South Africa belongs to the same time zone
- South Africa is six hours ahead of New York, seven hours ahead of Chicago, and nine hours ahead of Los Angeles
- Example: 6 p.m. in Johannesburg converts to: 12 p.m. in New York, 11 a.m. in Chicago, and 9 a.m. in Los Angeles
- As a southern hemisphere country, June in South Africa is wintertime and it is best to expect cold temperatures in the 30's in the morning and at night; but can warm up to high 50's and low 60's in the afternoon.
- The winter months in South Africa are generally dry, sunny and crisp during the day and cold at night. It is a good idea to bring warm clothes.
- It will be dark by 6:15 pm to 6:30 pm each day.
- Johannesburg is at altitude: 5,700 feet (Denver is at 5,280).
- South Africa's winter months are June and July, with temperatures being moderate. The winter months in South Africa are generally dry, sunny and crisp during the day and cold at night. It is a good idea to bring warm clothes.
Travelers are urged to secure accommodation reservations before arriving in South Africa. MATCH Hospitality is FIFA's worldwide exclusive rights holder of the Official Hospitality Program for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. MATCH Hospitality has three sanctioned tour operators in the United States. They are: Cartan Tours, Great Atlantic Travel and Destination Southern Africa.
- To contact Great Atlantic Travel, fans can call 800-888-8233 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for a list of travel offerings for U.S. fans traveling to South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Money Matters
The official currency of South Africa is the Rand (ZAR). Rand notes come in denominations of 200,100, 50, 20 and 10. South African coins come in three types: bronze-colored pieces in denomination of 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, nickel-silver pieces in denomination of 1 and 2 Rand coins, and a silver-edged, bronze-centered 5 Rand coin.
Currency Exchange
You can exchange U.S. dollars, travelers checks and other major currencies at banks, some travel agencies, and at bureaus de change, which are at many major tourist destinations. Larger hotels will also change checks and banknotes.
Exchange Rate
As of April 2010, the South African exchange rate is $1 = 7.3 Rand (ZAR). It is recommended to continue to observe the exchange rate as the tournament approaches.
South African Exchange Control
Be sure to keep receipts from all foreign exchange transactions, as passengers have been more recently selected and asked to provide proof of purchase of the foreign exchange they are carrying. This refers more particularly to traveler's checks and foreign exchange. If the traveler has lost the proof of purchase or cannot find it, they must go back to where the foreign exchange was purchased and obtain a duplicate receipt.
The major banks in South Africa are Standard, First National, Nedbank and ABSA, all of which have ATM's throughout the country. ATM's can be found at all airports, shopping malls, on many city streets and even in small rural towns. You should be able to draw local currency from most ATM's via the bank cards you use at home; however, some U.S. banks charge fees for withdrawing money outside the U.S. It is recommended you confirm with your bank before departing.
A convertor and adaptor may be required (depending upon location) in order to use any American electronic equipment.
- An adaptor is necessary for plugging your appliances into the 220V electrical socket. It will allow you to plug an American two-prong plug into the local two-prong electrical sockets.
- A convertor will adjust the level of electricity flowing into your appliance. Without a convertor, your appliance could short-circuit.

Level switch with no moving parts
Device detects liquids and dry substances with short response time.
Baumer has released its new LBFS level switch series, which the company says is a cost-effective and reliable alternative to vibration level switches. The device is able to detect viscous or dry substances as well as liquids, and can be mounted in any position in tanks or pipelines. The sensor is unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, and suspended solids. With a small and smooth sensor head, even adhesive media do not stick to it.
Baumer suggests many appropriate applications and industries, including high and low levels in tanks and pipelines, overfill protection, dry running protection of pumps, and phase separation in oil-water mixtures. Its corrosion-resistant housing can be installed through a pipe or vessel wall using a threaded hole and appropriate sealant. Response time is 0.2 seconds so it can be used in fast filling processes. The operating temperature range is -40 to 115 °C.
40 Under 40 – Control Engineering: Know someone working in automation under age 40 in need of some recognition? See the 40 Under 40 awards.
The LBFS transmitter sweeps a frequency range which becomes subject to a phase shift depending on the medium. When in contact with the medium, which has a dielectric constant outside a selected range, an electronic switch is triggered. The high sensitivity over a sensing range of dielectric constants from 1.5 to >100 allows detection of all kinds of powders, granulates, and liquids. Baumer says that even difficult substances like polyamide granules or paper can be detected reliably. This compares favorably to other measuring methods like vibrating forks, conductive ultrasonic, or optical sensors. The LBFS series has no moving parts and is not sensitive to changes based on conductivity, temperature, or pressure.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

It is important to put the responsibility for dealing with the alcohol / addiction problem squarely on the person in question while continuing to love him or her. What works depends on the individual.
Doing the "right" thing can depend on how severe the alcohol problem is and on how in touch with it the person in question seems to be. What works for someone who is highly functional in daily life and who knows that alcohol is causing trouble, for instance, may not be the solution for someone who denies that there is a problem.
Suggestion #9: Be there for them when they're ready
Most comments on this subject go like this: "Be available when the alcoholic reaches out." "When they hold out their hand for help, grab it." "Help as many times as you are asked. Be there."
When I asked an alcoholic why she thinks her husband stayed with her through her drinking days, she responded, "His parents taught him that if you care about someone, you never give up on them. I think he always thought I'd come out of it. He just didn't know it would take twenty years!" She feels that one of the most important messages for friends and family is to "encourage the problem drinker to try again and again." One adds, "Be loving but firm, and understand that they may need a number of tries to get and stay sober."
A number of people recommend encouraging any positive change in the drinker. A partner advises, "Encourage efforts to quit even when they don't seem to be working. Relapses are learning experiences." Although one alcohilcs husband and son were skeptical of her vow to quit because of her many short-lived attempts, their praise made it all the more difficult for her to go back.
If the person seems somewhat ready to change, you might also help him or her explore recovery alternatives. A husband goes so far as to suggest, "Put scientific literature about alcoholism (not religious or moral tracts) in their way where they just might glance at it or pick it up. Make sure that they are aware there are alternatives." A wife says, "Do the research to see what kind of help is available in your area, so that when the person is ready, you will have that information for them." You might even attend some recovery groups yourself to have a better understanding of the options. Alcoholics Anonymous and others, for instance, welcome friends and family members at their meetings.

Uncomfortable Truths Behind Foxconn's Response |
Written by Mike Buetow | |||
Monday, 19 March 2012 15:03 | |||
"Our corporate image has been totally ruined." So says Foxconn spokesman Simon Hsing, arguing that the media should not have picked up or repeated the accusations laid forth in Mike Daisey's now (semi)retracted narrative exposing the workplace environment at Foxconn. "We have no plans to take legal action," Hsing said, adding -- ominously -- "We hope nothing similar will happen again." Hsing's statement makes it sounds like Foxconn is taking the high road. It's not. It actually has certain very good reasons not to sue. 1. Proof of falsehood. In order to prove libel, the plaintiff has to prove the (written) statement was false. Anything that can be proved true cannot be libelous. Unfortunately for Foxconn, Daisey's public radio piece is only one piece of the puzzle. Study after study has shown how dramatically difficult life inside Foxconn's Forbidden City in Shenzhen. Complaints of excessive overtime are doubtlessly true. (Even Apple previously estimated that one-third of Foxconn's Shenzhen workforce exceeded the 60-hour a week limit dictated both by Apple and Chinese law.) There is no doubt at least 18 (and probably more) workers have committed suicide on the premises. There is no doubt multiple Foxconn plants in China have sustained deadly explosions over the past couple years. There is no doubt Foxconn uses armed guards to patrol its campuses. Even Daisey himself in his blog makes it clear he is being scapegoated as part of a clever bait-and-switch. 2. Lack of malice. Not only does US law require proving a published story was untrue, but winning damages requires proving the publisher had knowledge that the information was false, and yet published it anyway. Clearly, This American Life believed the contents of the story to be true. More than that, however, the story itself was based on a monologue developed and produced by Daisey as a staged play. That makes the attempt to litigate awkward, to say the least. Daisey could invoke what is known as the fair comment and criticism defense, that the law protects his right to express opinion, regardless of how critical it appears. For its part,This American Life, having excerpted the play, could argue that its airing of Daisey's story was artistic in nature, and an opinion, not reporting or documentary, and thus protected by fair comment. 3. American juries. The sight of a Chinese company suing American public radio in a US court would be surreal. It would also be a non-starter. No US jury would ever find for Foxconn, regardless of how strong a case the company could make. US workers see China as a source of its problems, not a solution. All the low-cost electronics and furniture would mean nothing to a group of 12 Americans armed with the knowledge that their country is deeply in hock to China thanks to the unlevel playing field that rewards companies like Foxconn. Provincialism cuts many ways. Foxconn is smart enough to know it would not win a libel fight on foreign turf. "Our corporate image has been totally ruined." No, that pretty much happened when your workers started throwing themselves off your roofs. Follow us on Twitter: @mikebuetow

Well, hello, dear! What is your screenname?
Maria Sunderland
What may we all call you?
Maria. Simple enough?
How did you first find out about The Hunger Games?
When the movie was released, a friend of mine urged me to read the books. While I was skeptical at first, I completely fell in love. So... here I am!
How would you describe yourself?
Artistic, funny, empathetic, agreeable. I'm no model citizen, but I guess I'm not that bad. I do have a short temper but I've been keeping that in check. XD
What would you do if you were thrown in the arena?
Hm... Assuming I don't die in the first five to ten minutes, I'd probably be the type to stay as far away from the others as possible and aim to survive in the hopes the rest would kill each other. So... I'd probably pull a "foxface" if possible. Either way, I'd be one of the easy kills
Who is your favorite character?
I'm torn between Katniss and Peeta. Can't I fav. both? ಠ_ಠ
What is your favorite color, dear?
Cyan and red.
You have the floor! Tell us anything else!
I'm an artist, a writer, not a baker (unless you have a death wish), a mother, a dreamer, a coffee addicted gal, and a lot of other things. ^__^
Hit me up!

Hagerty athletic director Jay Getty plans to post a job for the school's vacant girls volleyball head coaching position by the end of this week and is hopeful to fill the position by the end of the month.
Corey Radford stepped down as the Huskies' coach this winter to take a system administrator job at First Academy.
Radford led Hagerty to Class 8A regional semifinals the past two seasons but will only coach club volleyball this upcoming year.

By Gabriel Debenedetti
NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Brent oil edged higher on Thursday after Iran rejected calls for direct talks with the United States, while U.S. crude prices tumbled on concerns about growing domestic stockpiles in the Midwest.
Brent's premium over West Texas Intermediate crude rose to more than $21 a barrel after a report that a refinery in the U.S. Midwest would remain shut for maintenance longer than expected, raising expectations the glut of crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for U.S. futures would swell further.
BP's Whiting, Indiana, refinery reportedly delayed the restart of a crude unit by up to three months, according to a news report cited by traders.
The international benchmark found supports after Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected a U.S. offer to hold direct talks, denting hopes for the resolution of disputes over Tehrans's nuclear programme.
Traders have been closely watching the stand off with Iran due to concerns about supplies from the OPEC nation, one of many tensions in the Middle East that have held sway over oil markets over the past year.
'The Brent market is a little more sensitive to geopolitical risk and tensions, and reports that the leader in Iran said he doesn't want to engage in direct talks with the United States, that ratcheted up a bit of the geopolitical risk,' said Gene McGillian, analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Brent rose 32 cents at $117.05 a barrel and U.S. crude dropped 73 cents to $95.89 a barrel by 12:51 p.m. EST (1751 GMT).
U.S. crude's discount to Brent dropped as low as 21.40 a barrel in early activity, the lowest point since Dec. 10.
Oil markets have been boosted in recent weeks by signs that the economies of the United States and China, top oil consumers, are recovering at quicker paces.
The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell last week and put the four-week average reading at a near five-year low, but other data showed a productivity drop in the fourth quarter due to weak economic output.
The Chinese economy ended seven straight quarters of slowing growth with a 7.9 percent lift in the fourth quarter.

As I'm writing this we are streaming through the green rice fields and farmlands of northwestern Italy, the country's breadbasket. This would all look familiar to you, except for the centuries-old stone farmhouses, white egrets, and brown buzzards perched along the highway like red-tailed hawks. We're crossing the Po River, headed south to the Italian Riviera. I've been trying to find words to describe a spot we visited this morning, but it's difficult to explain a kind of personal enchantment. All I can say is this -- I think you would love it.
A boat carried us to a tiny island, Isola San Giulio on Lake Orta and the Path of Silence. Imagine yourself walking through a tunnel of moss and shadow, flowers and stucco. The air is filled with chattering swallows. Windows offer tantalizing glimpses of the lake. Every hundred feet or so, you read a sign that offers you thought for meditation, such as "Silence is the language of love," and "Silence is music and harmony."
"If you can be yourself, you are everything."
(I confess that as we were overtaken by a garrulous group of Brits, another saying popped into my head -- Jean-Paul Sartre's words -- "Hell is other people." You would be proud to know we are the quiet Americans, and a few of us have even been mistaken for Italians or Germans.)
The Path of Silence rings a convent on the Island of Saint Giulio.
The legend is that St. Giulio, in about 390 A.D. fled to Italy from Greek persecutors, reaching the edge of Lake Orta. The townspeople told him an island in the middle of the lake was infested with demons and snakes. He spread his cloak, floated to the island on sheer faith, drove off the evil forces, and vowed never to leave. True to his word, here's still here; his bones lie in the crypt.
We walked the Path of Silence that rings a convent on Isola San and then took a small boat back to the town of Orta San Giulio. Once there, some members of the WXXI Travel Club climbed the Holy Mountain. More on that later . . .

Hot answers tagged dnd-encounters
I would probably have told him he couldn't do that. As an Organized Play DM, you're trying to make sure the entire table has fun; you are not required to indulge any single player if it causes problems for everyone else.
So actually, I'd have made it a table discussion. Something like: "Hm. OK, I'm gonna be honest; that kind of bugs me, because Batman isn't ...
I would have laughed (not in mockery, but rather in amused interest).
I would definitely allow him to wear it as long as the other players didn't strongly object. After all, part of the purpose of role-playing is to explore the idea of being a different person or behaving in a certain way.
He wants to be Batman? Great! Let's explore that! How would people ...
To encourage more role-playing, ask questions. This is easiest when you're the DM - "OK, you kill the orc! Please describe how you do it" - but you can also do it as a player - "Hey, what did my character see yours do when you rolled that critical hit?"
In my experience it's best to ask for these moments of player narration after specific, infrequent game ...
First step.
D&D encounters is intended to be run by a hobby store or something similar. This means, you can sign up and ask to be an Encounters DM. (I need to remember to do this myself). If you can't join the official encounters session, try turning a module into an encouterseque experience like suggested here.
When you become an encounters DM, you ...
I'd let it ride ("Ranger with thrown weapons who fights evil because his parents died" is a perfectly legit background, after all) unless and until the joke stops being funny. This is defined as "people aren't laughing, and it's starting to become irritating". At that point I'd simply mention that the joke was funny, it's done, time to pay a bit more ...
I hate to sound snide, but... in this case, it's unavoidable.
I asked the organizer if this was how the game was played and he basically told me that the format for Encounters is geared for new players and not set up to support much role play.
He's right.
If you are looking for actual role-playing, encounters isn't your venue.
It might be a good spot ...
If you follow http://twitter.com/#!/Wizards_DnD (possibly more specifically, #dndenc) on twitter, it sometimes tweets random buffs. You can then apply them to the combat rounds you are playing in. For example, last one so far has been:
Shreds of spiderwebs catch on a breeze and flutter around your
heads, clinging to your faces. PCs are
-1 to hit ...
If it isn't damageable to the game, and he manages to come with a clear background for his character, I don't see why you shouldn't do anything about it. He can do a Batman-clone, as long as it's justified and he provides you with reasons, and a real background story.
On the other hand, if he refuses to explain his character anymore and just want to "be ...
Not a whole lot, really.
Those are the high points that I remember from being a player. I'm probably missing a hook or two.
I'd ask the rest of the group and the organizer if they were OK with it; if universally yes, run with it. If no, ask him to drop the shtick as disruptive. If I can do so without mangling the adventure, I'd even reskin one of the villains to be a traditional batman enemy.
Joke names and stupid shticks are traditional but not always approved of, with some ...
You can have 10 regular units be a "swarm", there are some good examples of Goblin, Kobold etc swarms in the monster manuals that you can base the powers on.
For added authenticity have a swarm generate a few minions to represent the stragglers when it hits 0 hit points, and maybe let 8 such minions recombine into a new swarm. Feed in a few minions ...
Direct Engagement. And the current season of Encounters you have (at least until yesterday you had) some excellent opportunities because of the NPCs of Benwick and his assistants (Gordi and Sal). So what I mean by direct engagement is not really 'describing' stuff. Instead, turn to the player and do your best Benwick voice and engage them directly. "I need ...
Here are some ideas for helping the party:
Reinforcements. Hold a few enemies back. They can run in if the party has an easy time with the fight. Or they can hang back and you can "accidentally forget" them. Or they run in when the fight's all but won and the players can focus on the reinforcements instead of dividing their attention to deal with them.
When presented with a character that just goes clunk with me I will tell the PC, gently, that I have certain vision of the game and I can't see including the character without ruining my fun as the GM.
Gaming is cooperative story telling and everyone should have fun (most of the time). The GM as much, or more than the party as the GM has to work way harder ...
Aw that's kinda cool. If the character was just dressing in a bat-themed outfit and throwing bat-shaped shurikens, I would totally encourage it, Dark Sun or not. If the player said his PC's real name was "Bruce Wayne" I'd probably be kind of annoyed with it, but as long as everyone else was cool, I wouldn't sweat it.
I've seen worse at organized play, and ...
I tend to see game mastering as management. If players behave in a way that prevents fun, there is probably something the game master does that unintentionally feeds the situation. So I think you're looking at your situation the right way. Here are some thoughts.
The possibility of Defeat, role playing's best friend. Players tend to willingly role play ...
I introduced my campaign with the players being soldiers mid-battle field. It was pretty cleanly executed and didn't take too long.
I pre-rolled what soldiers around the players did in large packs of 20. I listed a fixed amount of damage that pack of 20 did, a fixed chance to hit, and most of the soldiers had the exact same stats.
I set aside the rolling ...
Ok, here are the suggestions we worked out in chat:
Retrain Bogtangle Heritage to two weapon fighting as your L1 feat. This gives you an always on +1 to damage.
Take Ki Focus expertise as your L2 feat. This gives you an always on +1 to hit (due to spiked gauntlets).
Your basic tactic if you cannot get hidden is to charge (if possible) with your rapier ...
On a pragmatic note, you can form a dedicated encounters group between like minded individuals. Outside of game time, communicate with the coordinator, and ask for a longer session designed to allow for more role-playing activities, descriptive combat, and other narrative elements of your choice, and ask that person if there are any others interested in the ...
Based on your comment, it sounds like you generally approve of how the narrative went, but felt that how you mechanically implemented the search at the end wasn't satisfying. Redoing a purely mechanical section of play that didn't feel right seems fair to me, so here are some suggestions:
One is to structure the search similarly to trekking across the ...
There many great blogs on people detailing their groups adventures. Try obsidian portal. Also a quick Google search got me this:
which is a pretty clean summary. Happy DM'ing

Reducing Secondhand Smoke ExposureSecondhand smoke is a known contributor to premature death in both adults and children. If you are a smoker, quitting smoking is the best way to protect your children, other family members, and friends from the serious health risks of passive smoking. Nonsmokers and smokers who wish to protect their families from these risks should not allow themselves or others to smoke in their homes. In the U.S. and many other nations, governments have enacted a variety of laws designed to protect people from health dangers associated with secondhand smoke. Public interest and legislation to prevent smoking in workplaces and public buildings is on the rise as the public becomes more informed about the risks of secondhand smoke. The U.S. Surgeon General confirms that smoke-free workplaces are the only way to protect people from exposure to secondhand smoke in the workplace, since steps such as having separate smoking areas, air purification, and ventilating the building have all not been proven sufficient to prevent exposure if smoking is allowed inside the building.

Hickie to Coach Dartmouth for Two More Seasons |
Colleges - Men's DI College | ||
"I am very excited to contribute to the growth and development of the Dartmouth rugby program and ultimately ensuring that our players enjoy a unique experience representing Dartmouth College," said Hickie. "Dartmouth is at the forefront of rugby development and their commitment to the sport is reflected in the success they have enjoyed, the facilities they have created and the underlying spirit of the Dartmouth rugby players." Hickie comes to Dartmouth with a wealth of experience as both a player and a coach. He enjoyed ten years at the top of the game as a professional player at hooker for his country and major clubs in Europe, winning many honors along the way. He has continued that success in his coaching career, as forwards coach of the USA Junior All-Americans (u20s) that won the IRB Junior World Trophy in June 2012 and as an assistant coach of the D1 Men's National Champions, Belmont Shore Rugby Club. Coach Hickie is passionate about delivering success and building on Dartmouth's impressive rugby record. He is also a columnist for RUGBYMag.com. "This is a wonderful opportunity to work in a professional environment and I eagerly welcome the challenge of taking on the best Collegiate teams in the country, the Ivy League, the CRC and the Varsity Cup," said Hickie. Hickie will continue his role with the USA Junior All-Americans in their build up to the top-tier Junior World Championship in France in 2013 and will work with the USA Eagles XV under Coach Mike Tolkin on the technical aspects of throwing and forward play. Under his leadership the Dartmouth Rugby men's 1st and 2nd XV teams went undefeated this fall season. The 7's team won the Ivy League Championship and followed that up with a 5 win 1 loss Bowl Championship run at the USA Rugby National 7s Championships in Texas. Assisting Coach Hickie for the 2012-2013 season is strength and conditioning coach James Willocks. Willocks is currently working to finish his Graduate Diploma in Physical Conditioning from Otago Polytechnic and has extensive experience already as a conditioning coach. He also brings experience as a loose-forward, lock and 7's player for the Premiers of the Alhambra-Union Rugby Club. |

Patrick Jeff Condon
Jeff Condon is an Aeronautical Engineer. [1]
Patrick (Jeff) Condon, who previously went by the Pseudonym "Jeff Id," [1] is a climate change skeptic who runs the contrarian blog the Air Vent [2]. [2]
The Air Vent hosts pages that supposedly debunk Michael Mann's "Hockey Stick" graph [3] and cover the event known as "Climategate." The blog also regularly posts articles and comments favouring a view skeptical of climate change, including a number of posts suggesting that arctic sea ice is not retreating.
Stance on Climate Change
"Right now, nothing, and I mean really NOTHING, indicates that AGW is anything but moderate or even beneficial." [3]
Key Quotes
"The media and propaganda blogs like DeSmog should be proud to have the [CRU] dataset on line and pleased that Heartland would invest that money for the common good." [4]
Key Deeds
The Air Vent was one of three blogs [4] to receive information released in a criminal hacking of climate scientists' emails in 2011. Roger Tattersall, the operator of a skeptical blog titled Tallbloke's Talkshop [5] and Condon had both received messages from a hacker who identified himself as "FOIA."
Condon later received a "formal request" by the US Department of Justice's criminal division on December 9 to preserve "all stored communications, records, and other evidence in your possession" related to their own blogs as well as to Climate Audit, a climate skeptic blog run by Steve McIntyre [6].
December, 2010
Published a "rebuttal" of a paper by Steig et al which had concluded that Antarctic warming was not localized to the Antarctic Peninsula, but also strongly affected the West Antarctic. Steig's paper had been published in Nature.
The rebuttal paper, titled "Improved Methods for PCA-Based Reconstructions: Case Study Using the Steig et al. (2009) Antarctic Temperature Reconstruction [7]" was sent to the Journal of Climate on February 3, 2010 and accepted November 25, 2010. The authors were Ryan O'Donnell, Nicholas Lewis, Steve McIntyre [6], and Jeff Condon.
Many climate skeptic blogs, including Steven McIntyre's own Climate Audit [8]present the study as a refutation of the Steig study. McIntyre also suggests that their difficulty in having the study published in the Journal of Climate was due to a "abusive peer review process" in which one of the reviewers supposedly made attempts to "suppress the article" that "went far beyond an unconflicted reviewer." [5]
Condon himself said that he was "quite satisfied that the review process was fair and equitable," although he too claimed that "excessive deference was paid to this one particular reviewer at the beginning of the process." [6]

Masters of Health Professions, Physician Assistant Program, Northeastern University, 1994
Joseph P. Shinnick, MHP, PA-C, discusses his role as a Duke orthopaedic physician assistant in this Q&A session.
Why did you choose to practice orthopaedic medicine?
While studying at the PA program at Northeastern University I was fortunate to have an excellent physician instructor in orthopaedics who became a mentor to me.
He offered me a position in the Department of Orthopaedics at New England Medical Center when I graduated. I have practiced in orthopaedics ever since.
Why did you choose to work at Duke?
As a PA, I was always aware of the reputation of Duke as the birthplace of the profession.
Having worked in Orthopaedics for a number of years, I was also aware of the stellar reputation of Duke Orthopaedics.
When my family and I decided to relocate to North Carolina, it was an easy decision to come to Duke once I was offered the opportunity.
What do you find most rewarding about your job?
I enjoy the privilege of working with patients to help them overcome their musculoskeletal complaints.
I am also privileged to be a member of a world-class team that delivers the best orthopaedic care around.
Hand and upper extremity complaints

Well I finished! woot. Here is a picture before the finishing work...
...and now the finished helmet...
Thanks again for the support.
Wow, that is looking very pretty! The colours are awesome!
Thank you. I used Dull Aluminum w/ Rub n Buff for the metal areas, Dark Hunter for the cheeks and ear areas, and a non Krylon Moss Green for the other areas. I can't remember off the top of my mind who makes the moss green, but it is a unique shade that has a very natural yet pale feel to it.
Lookin good man. And you were complainin about the R&B. Looks like it turned out great.
Lookin' good man!!
Thanks. TK, the RnB was HORRIBLE! I was seriously pretty sure that I was going to have to start over again. Luckily that wasn't the case.
Saw it over in "Jango", but I'll say here, that it looks great!
looks great man... can't wait to see how the whole costume turns out
Nice work so far! Keep it up, this will be one hell'ofa suit
NICE JOB, can't wait to see the final product. MORE PICS MORE PICS!!!
Really nice work, Shockwave.
Thanks a lot! Oh yeah, I just weathered it up last night and striped it. It looks awesome now! The weathering really brought it to life. It hakes the metal look very convincing. I brought it to work to show a few people and they were surprised that it was light because they thought that is was all metal. I think I want to finish the rangefinder assembly first and then I will post the completed pictures.
That is great. Can't wait to see the rest!
Nice helmet man, great work.
Nice lookin' helmet you got there.
From the pics you posted before of what this will look like, this is going to be one awesome looking custom!
Can't wait to see the rest.
Fantastic job on the weathering!!! I like the choice of the pinstripe between the 2 arrows- nice touch
Dude that is one Awesome Helmet!!
may we ask you what you used for the weathering?
Thanks and great job again, looking forward to seeing the rest of the costume.
Very nice.
Thank you very much. I used Black "Delta Ceramcoat" Acrylic Paint that I got at Michaels for the weathering. I applied it with a synthetic (nylon) sponge, unthinned. I just kept reblotting it very thin and reapplying as necessary. I used an angled sponge and a fine brush to get in corner areas.
Whoa, that's come a long way. What's the base helmet?
P.s... Your one step closer to the Mandalorian Army...
The base was a fiberglass take of a DP 95.
Strong work. the weathering is exceptional.
SHOCKWAVE very nice work indeed the hard work and patience always pays of at the end .
Very nice work. Te weathering is very convincing and really makes the helmet. Great job!
excellent work! great job with the weathering.
When can we expect the rest of the costume
cant wait
Thank you . Piece by piece....my chest armor will most likely be the next armor pieces completed. I have already shaped them and have molded them slightly to contour my body. I am not going to do the painting though until I have my vest (RA, which should be arriving soon) in hand and can be sure that everything lines up as I want it to. Thanks to Thrawn2222, I also already have an awesome leather ammo belt/holster setup. Some of you may have seen it before. It is all black leather, with 7 Boba style usable pouches and an overall Jango style look. It was originally comstructed by MP from early black and white photographs. It is really nice and lends well to the overall suit. I was also fortunate to land a pair of brand new BedStu Modules. So, like I said, a lot of the style is similar to Jango, but with it's own personality. I am basing it off of the premise that some of Jango's gear was more of a standard issue for certain Mandalorians, who would have those parts somewhat tailored to their own needs/rank. I am working on the jumpsuit right now as well. I'm still not sure about my guns. For now I will most likely be sporting westars, but in the future I am planning on constructing my own weapons. I'll be sure to post updates as I complete the pieces.
The weathering is kickin. Really makes the helmet look used. What did you use to get that look?
Man that looks AMAZING! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the finished armor.
Super job on the helmet man!
Thanks everyone. TK-Fett, I used black "Delta Ceramcoat" Acylic paint for the weathering. I applied it unthinned with a nylon sponge. I just blotted it on and then blotted again with a dry part of the sponge. I also used tissue to blot it. I did it very thin the first time to fog the metal, and then reapplied and blotted again in areas to deepen the weathering. For the corners/edges, I used an angles sponge and did the same. For hard to reach areas of parts i wanted a bit thicker, I used a fine brush w/tissue. You only need to keep a few areas totally unweathered to still give a peak of the shine underneath.
That is the heat! Awesome Helm!
Great job! And a good inspiration for all us customs.
Sometimes we wish we were making custom suits; then you don't have to worry about all the accuracy and details that are in the movies. Oh well we'll just have to make some custom accessories for our suits.
Anyways, You applied the weathering after the R&B, right? We weren't sure, especially since we've never used the R&B before.
Thanks. (oh and how are you doin w/the rest of the suit? we really can't wait to see it finished)
Ya the weathering was the last step, following the Rub n Buff. It looks best as a non-glossy paint (I haven't seen much shiney dirt in my time). The sponge was key because, although you can't see it in detail in the pictures, when you blot it, you can also wipe it a bit which adds really fine streaks. The streaks really resemble the swirl marks you would get when polishing metal and makes it look like the dirt got trapped in the swirls. It's pretty subliminal, but it has a lot to do with the look.
I can't wait to get more of my gear finished either. My time is limited so I can only put in so many hours here and there, but I am steadily moving forward. You are right about the accuracy thing with the custom. Thats the best part really is that you are free from having to do things a precise way, but at the same time there still is obviously a degree of accuracy to follow to get a good effect. Going custom, you have to also be careful to remain balanced and not over-do it. The design of Jango and Boba are really masterpieces from great artists in a galaxy far, far away. I still look at my 12" Jango figure and think "man, that sure would be a great costume..." but at the same time I am happy with creating a personal set of armor.

Woodruff, Elvira. The Memory Coat. Illustrated by Michael Dooling. Scholastic, 1998. ISBN 0-590-67717-9. $15.95. 32 pp. A 3-5 PB Reviewed by Carla Morris How can a tattered old coat keep a family together? Author Elvira Woodruff visited the Ellis Island clothing exhibit, where a child's woolen jacket, patched at the elbows and frayed at the collar, inspired her to write this story. At Ellis, immigrants were inspected to see that they were healthy and capable to enter the United States. Their names, nationalities, and destinations were recorded by inspectors. They were given a quick physical examination that would determine if they could receive their landing card and live in America, or be separated from their family and be sent back. If they did not pass the physical, the doctor would use chalk to mark the back of their coat. They would be detained and deported. This devastating experience was the immigrant's greatest fear. The Memory Coat tells the story of two cousins who lived in a Russian shtetl with their family. Grisha has recently been orphaned because of an epidemic that killed both of his parents. His mother made him a coat before she died. The coat is tattered, but it is Grisha's last connection to his mother's love. During the ocean voyage, Grisha falls and scratches his eye. At Ellis Island, the inspector sees his reddened eye as an infection and marks a large yellow E on Grisha's coat. Grisha's uncle pleads with the inspector and explains that it is only a recent injury, but the inspector does not understand Russian. In despair, the children are sent to sit on a bench and wait. Why can't Grisha go with them? Is it because of his ragged coat? Suddenly, Rachel, Grisha's cousin, has an idea. She turns the coat inside out, exposing the beautiful wool from his mother's coat. Grisha's uncle takes him to another line, where the doctor is kinder and more patient and understands Russian. The family receive landing passes and, most important, they are together. A great read-aloud with author and historical notes on the last page that can lead to further study and discussion.

Esquimalt Council adopted a Public Art Policy in 2002 to"cultivate a more vibrant community full of visually exciting and identifiable spaces where art in all its forms is incorporated into everyday life."
Public art is being considered as one of the planning criteria for the proposed development and revitalizationof Esquimalt's town core with the Esquimalt Village Project
The Esquimalt Muncipal Hall has several works of art, including original watercolours, acrylics, and limited edition prints, on display in public areas, meeting rooms, and offices.
When the new Municipal Hall was opened in 2004, Esquimalt held its first public art competition and three new art works were selected and installed on the exterior of the building:
1. Re-emergence of the Lifebringers by Marianne Nicolson. The title refers to the light images that appear at night. The images are taken from pictographs, which appear along the coast. More
2. Thunderbird Orca Spindle Whorl by Charles Elliott The carving represents the legend of the Thunderbird and Orca/Killer Whale. The Thunderbird is the mythical spiritual bird and the Orca would be the physical ruler with the mighty power of the seaworld. More
3. Mosaic Garden by Rosemary and Geoff Murray The mosaic garden can be found on the concrete column bases in front of the Esquimalt library.

Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud has claimed his representatives have held talks with Bayern Munich.
Giroud, 25, has been linked with a summer move to the likes of Bayern and Arsenal after enjoying an impressive season in Ligue 1, scoring 21 goals in 34 appearances.
And the France international has indicated a deal with Bayern could be in the offing, telling Sport Bild magazine: "Bayern Munich are more in the focus than any other club due to the positive experience of French players there.
"I have not yet spoken to them directly, but my agent has. Every player says how friendly they have been welcomed there and how happy they were there.''
None more so than Franck Ribery, who has given Giroud an insight into life in Munich and Germany. "I have spoken to Ribery a bit about the Bundesliga," the forward added.
"We spoke about the fantastic fans, the full stadiums and the great life in Germany, and of course how the Bundesliga is particularly appealing to a striker since they play attacking football there."

Not prescribing opioids first or as a long-term therapy for chronic, non-cancer pain and avoiding MRIs, CTs and X-rays for low-back pain are among the tests and treatments identified by ASA that are commonly ordered but not always necessary. As part of the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign, ASA today released its second list of five targeted, evidence-based recommendations that can support conversations between patients and physician anesthesiologists about what care is really necessary.
