User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
At first I was reluctant to spend $35 on a pillow. But then I saw the price for other pillows and realized that $35 was the best price. Not only did I get a good price, but I got a terrific value. When looking at reviews for other pillows I noticed that one of the knocks was the way the pillows didn't completely follow the body's shape. The Cozy Cuddler follows my shape perfectly. I can feel the support right from my head all the way down to my feet. My whole body is awash in support. I was impressed at the way the pillow keeps my entire body comfortable and does not pinch or feature any strange edges which could potentially provide discomfort. I love that my stomach gets to rest right on a part of the pillow. I've never seen that before! My shoulders and back feel good when I wake up and it allows me to have a more refreshing sleep. The best feature might not be as important to other people, but it is the most important to me. Other pillows I've seen have flat head areas. They seem to be flimsy and really tiny. But this pillow has a large area which is just like a regular pillow. When it comes down to it, this is a pillow! There should be a place for me to put my head and it certainly has it. This is my second pregnancy and I wish this pillow had been around for my first pregnancy. Unlike other pillows it actually lives up to its promises. Plus, the cover is way easier to remove than my other pregnancy pillow, which I think was a Leachco.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
Yes, Yes, Yes! I would recommend this pillow to every mother who is pregnant and to wives who are just considering pregnancy. I'm pregnant with my third child so I've seen all of the maternity and pregnancy products. However, the Cozy Cuddler (cute name) is actually different. I like to watch television and read magazines before going to sleep and this pillow is perfect for that. It provides actual support to my stomach. I think the shape of the pillow is what makes it unique. I've used other pillows from other brands including Leacho and the shape of their pillows never worked for me. The horseshoe shape lets me be very comfortable because allows me to be elevated. I'm guessing that once I have my baby it will be great for nursing too because of the elevation factor. The overall shape of the pillow seems mimic my shape and that is extremely helpful in keeping my back comfy. I always wished that other pillows were a little longer so my belly could get supported easier when sleeping my legs straight or bent. I would often use a throw pillow or curl up a bit more. Now I don't have to and after a couple of weeks that becomes really important. Give this give to a newlywed couple and they'll be thanking you after the first pregnancy.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
My wife absolutely loved this pillow. She said it "was just want she needed". It kind of kicks me out of the bed though! Doh!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Since she's started using the pillow her restless nights have ceased. Just never any room for me in the bed between the pillow, the dog, and the toddler. In the end its all worth it, so if I have to sleep in the recliner or on the floor so be it. She's worth a little back pain, I guess it makes us closer LOL. If you don't have, you definitely should get, Honestly I sneak and use it when she's not around, feels like you floating in the middle of the bed.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
This pillow has completely revolutionized how I sleep at night. Before, I would toss and turn and be completely worn out the next day but now that I have the pillow I sleep comfortably and soundly through the night and feel amazing the next day. I have less aches and pains in my hips and legs and my husband says I am even snoring less, haha. This is a must have for anyone during pregnancy!! And it only took two days to ship and arrive at my house! I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied - yay! :)
Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and BabyAge has the best pillows on the market.
Our Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow is like sleeping on a cloud! BabyAge.com has created the Today's Mom product line by listening to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale. This revolutionary pillow is patent pending.

Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's "Angelus"
Date: 1933-35
Material Used: Oil on panel
Size: 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches
When Dali was young, Jean-François Millet's painting, The Angelus, one of the most popular images in the world, was reproduced on everything from prints and postcards to everyday objects like teacups and inkwells. The late 19th century painting depicts a peasant couple standing in a field with their heads bowed in prayer. For many it was a sentimental work, but for Dali it was troubling, with layers of hidden meaning, which he explored through daydreams and fantasies. He produced a series of paintings and writings - an entire mythology - on this single image.
Dali wrote that this daydreaming began when he was in elementary school, where The Angelus hung on the wall. He stared at the couple, inventing stories about them. Dali continued this fantasy as an adult. In one instance, he even arranged stones he found on a beach to resemble the two figures.
Dali said, "I surrendered myself to a brief fantasy during which I imagined sculptures of the two figures in Millet's 'Angelus' carved out of the highest rocks ."
In this painting, the couple appear as ancient monumental ruins in a moonlit landscape. He painted them so that the female - looking like a praying mantis - towers over the male, whom Dali depicts as dominated and vulnerable. Two pairs of figures observe the couple. Both show Dali as a child accompanied by an adult - the pointing figure is his father, the seated one his nanny. These references to childhood, the "reminiscence" in the title, suggest fragments of memory uncovered through introspection.

Vermont utility seeks renewable energy moratorium
JOHNSON — One of Vermont's largest utilities is calling on the state to impose a moratorium on renewable energy mandates.
The board of Vermont Electric Cooperative approved a resolution Thursday seeking a two-year moratorium and formation of a statewide panel that includes customers to develop a renewable energy transition plan.
About a dozen opponents of wind energy attended the meeting at the co-op's headquarters in Johnson, where the resolution was passed.
Co-op CEO Dave Hallquist said the resolution reflects the sentiment of its members who are concerned about finding a balance between rising electric rates and the adoption of greener energy.
Senators voted against a moratorium in the last legislative session. They say they will continue to press for another vote.MORE IN This Just InORLANDO After she drove her minivan into the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, authorities... Full StoryFORT BRAGG, N.C.

From June 15th to July 5th, the #1 Billboard hit was 'Sukiyaki' by Kyu Sakamoto
The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States in 1963, and was the only Japanese language song to do so. In total it sold over 13 million copies internationally.] The original Kyu Sakamoto recording also went to number eighteen on the R&B chart.
The title, sukiyaki (which is a Japanese steamboat dish), has nothing to do with the lyrics or the meaning of the song; the word served the purpose only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese, and more familiar to most English speakers. A Newsweek columnist noted that the re-titling was like issuing "Moon River" in Japan under the title "Beef Stew."
"Sukiyaki" (English: I Shall Walk Looking Up), (Spanish: Por Ti Estoy Aqui?), is a single released by Selena in 1990. It was released as the fourth single from the 1989 self-titled album Selena. The song received much airplay at the time of release. It was a Spanish version of the song (featuring the lyrics written by Janice Marie Johnson translated into Spanish).

FOXBOROUGH — Cornerback Aqib Talib doesn't know if he'll return to the Patriots, since he becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. All he knows is how much fun he's had the few months he's been with the team.
If you read closely, you'll notice that in his comments Monday, Talib spent part of the time talking in the past tense (leaving some to assume his time here is up), and part of the time talking about being a member of the Patriots in the present tense.
"I had a lot of fun here, I definitely enjoyed my time here," Talib said, roughly 12 hours after the Patriots lost to the Ravens, 28-13, in the AFC Championship game at Gillette Stadium Sunday night. "We'll see what happens in the future, but I definitely had the most fun I've had playing football in a long time here."
Talib was acquired by the Patriots Nov. 1 from the Buccaneers, and improved a secondary that had been one of the team's defensive weak points. He made an immediate impact, intercepting a pass thrown by the Colts' Andrew Luck and returning it 59 yards for a touchdown in his Patriots debut.
In six regular-season games (Talib was in uniform for the finale against the Dolphins but didn't play), Talib had 19 tackles, the one interception, and two passes defensed. He also recovered a fumble against the 49ers.
Before Talib arrived, the Patriots gave up more 30-yard pass plays than any team in the league; in the games they had with him, that number turned into one of the fewest.
"Aqib, he's a great talent, so it was definitely a loss for us to lose someone like that early in [Sunday night's] game," said Kyle Arrington, who took over for Talib. "You can't teach height, can't teach size. He's physical as well, long, good hips. I sound like his PR guy now."
Talib was injured in the first quarter against the Ravens, pulling up with a thigh injury while breaking up a pass intended for Anquan Boldin. He retreated to the locker room with the medical staff, returned to the sideline to see if he could get back on the field, then sat on the bench when he realized he could not.
"Aw, man, the worst way to go out in any game, let alone the AFC Championship," Talib said. "We came in here [locker room], we did some stuff, it just wasn't strong enough to go compete at that level."
Talib, like some of the other Patriots who will become free agents at the end of the season, wouldn't speculate on how the process might play out or where he'll be playing next season.
He had a ready answer when asked about his future plans.
"I definitely enjoy being a Patriot," he said. "We'll let everything . . . it's the business side of the business."
How will he approach free agency?
"I'm not really worried about all that. The game was 12 hours ago, I'm in the training room with the guys, we're having fun, right now I'm still a Patriot," Talib said. "Free agency doesn't start until March, so until then I'm still a Patriot and enjoying my time."
Coach Bill Belichick, in his opening remarks Monday and then again when he was asked specifically about Talib, said it's way too early to know who might be back and who won't.
"We will not make any decisions on any players into the future now. You just can't do it. There are too many factors, too many unknown things," Belichick said. "All the things I said about Aqib, I meant and I still feel that way. Nothing has changed, but I can't put into place an entire plan for the team at this point in time. There's just not enough information. It's too early."
Arrington is another Patriot who is about to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Patriots have 14 players on their 53-man roster who are not under contract for 2013: Arrington, Talib, and fellow defensive backs Patrick Chung, Marquice Cole, and Derrick Martin; offensive linemen Sebastian Vollmer and Donald Thomas; defensive lineman Trevor Scott; tight end Michael Hoomanawanui; linebackers Tracy White and Niko Koutovides; running back Danny Woodhead; and receivers Deion Branch and Wes Welker.
Some of them, no doubt, will be part of the Patriots' plans for next season and beyond; some will sign with other teams.
Quarterback Tom Brady, as he's often done, spoke up in favor of keeping Welker around.
"Everyone knows how I feel about Wes. Our whole team feels that way about Wes," Brady said, during his weekly contractually obligated radio appearance on WEEI. "He's one of the best players I've ever played with and played against. He's just a phenomenal player.
"He's been the heart and soul of what our team's all about. He's been so selfless. The way that he carries himself and commits himself to help our team win, it's second to none."Continued...

The North Carolina Supreme Court sided Friday with legislative leaders who withheld emails and other documents between them and state-funded private attorneys about redistricting maps approved in 2011, ruling that those documents can be confidential.
Most of the justices overturned a decision by a panel of three trial court judges who are hearing lawsuits challenging the boundaries drawn by the Republican-led General Assembly.
The dozens of individuals and groups suing asked the legislators and their lawyers to give them correspondence on legal advice about drawing the maps, presenting the maps to General Assembly committees and getting them cleared by federal authorities. The plaintiffs believed the documents would bolster their case to throw out the new lines.
The three-judge panel last spring told the mapmakers to provide the documents leading up to the maps' final approval in November 2011, citing a 1983 law in ruling the documents were no longer confidential. The attorneys for the Republican legislators challenged the decision, saying the law didn't cancel the attorney-client privilege, which goes back hundreds of years to English common law.

Hydronic boilers
NH150-DV and NH199-DV tankless hydronic boilers from Noritz.
The NH150-DV and NH199-DV tankless hydronic boilers from Noritz are available for constant room temperature comfort for various heating choices, such as panel radiators, baseboard flooring, and radiant floor heating. Significantly smaller in size than conventional hydronic boilers, the direct-vent units appear similar to tankless water heaters and weigh only 66 lbs versus a conventional boiler at 300 lbs. Featuring a gas-consumption range of 55,500 Btu/h to 150,000 Btu/h for the NH150-DV and up to 199,900 Btu/h for the NH199-DV, the units are ideal for residential or light commercial applications. They also offer nine temperature settings (140 to 180 F) for hydronic heating applications. Each unit has a high-flow capacity of 14 gpm with a three-speed Grundfos Pumps circulator, providing multiple pump curves, rather than the one-pump curve of a typical single-speed pump. The units also include an outdoor reset control.

By MATTHEW PENNINGTON The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Google chief Eric Schmidt's plan to visit North Korea has put the Obama administration in the awkward position of opposing a champion of Internet freedom who's decided to engage with one of the most intensely censored countries.
Eric Schmidt, Google executive chairman, is expected to travel to North Korea this month. U.S. officials fear the visit could suggest a shift in policy and confuse American allies.
The Associated Press
The administration is wary for a reason. It fears that Schmidt's trip could give a boost to North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un, just when Washington is trying to pressure him.
It was only last month when North Korea launched a long-range rocket in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. While the U.S. and its allies are seeking harsher penalties against the reclusive communist government.
That effort is proving difficult because of a resistance from China, a permanent member of the council. Beijing probably worries that its troublesome ally could respond to any new punishment by conducting a nuclear test.
U.S. officials are also concerned that the high-profile visit could confuse American allies in Asia and suggest a shift in U.S. policy as the administration prepares to install a new secretary of state to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton. Obama has nominated Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate in 2004.
An imminent change of government in South Korea, a close U.S. friend, is raising questions about whether the two countries can remain in lockstep in their dealings with the North. Newly elected leader Park Geun-hye is expected to seek a more conciliatory approach toward North Korea after she takes up the presidency in February.
This helps to explain why the State Department, which has been a vigorous advocate of social media freedoms around the world, particularly last year during the Arab Spring, made clear it was displeased by the planned "private, humanitarian" visit by Schmidt and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Their trip is expected this month.
"We don't think the timing of the visit is helpful and they are well aware of our views," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday.
Richardson, a seasoned envoy and a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Friday that the State Department should not be nervous. In interviews with CBS and CNN, Richardson said they had been planning to visit in December but postponed the trip at the department's request because of the presidential election that month in South Korea.
Richardson said he would raise with North Korea the matter of an American detained last month on suspicion of committing unspecified "hostile" acts against the state; the charge could draw a sentence of 10 years of hard labor. He'll also try to meet with the detainee.
He also said he was concerned about North Korea's nuclear proliferation and this was a "very important juncture" to talk and try to move the North Koreans in the "right direction."
Schmidt, Richardson said, was traveling as a private citizen. But the trip raises questions about whether Google has plans for North Korea.
Schmidt, the company's executive chairman, is a staunch advocate of global Internet access and the power of connectivity in lifting people out of poverty and political oppression.
There are few countries where the obstacles are as stark. North Koreans need government permission to interact with foreigners -- in person, by phone or by email. Only a tiny portion of the elite class is connected to the Internet.
U.S. law restricts American companies' dealings with North Korea, which is subject to tough penalties because of its nuclear and missile programs. Imports of North Korean goods are prohibited, but travel to North Korea, exports of U.S. goods and investment in the country are allowed, subject to some restrictions, such as on exports of luxury goods.

RPG Background Loops MP3: Court of Azathoth

Date Added: 09/28/2013 16:31:00
Spooky, unpleasant, disturbing, even grating on the ears—this track is perfect for Azathoth. Play this track in the background when you want your players to know that something is dreadfully wrong, but they don't quite know why, or when everything in the PCs' world has ceased to make sense.

This is a really nice soundscape, nonintrusive but flavorful. It loops seamlessly. Before you buy, be sure you understand this track consists only of sound effects (creaking planks, waves, birds), with no music.

Stark City Soundtrack
Fainting Goat Games
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 09/28/2013 14:01:15
Your reaction to this soundtrack is likely to depend on your taste in music. Most of this soundtrack is simply too dance-techno for my own personal tastes. If you're into more into EDM than I am, you'll probably like the soundtrack a lot better than I did. But to me, most of the tracks evoke the feel of a dance hall or a low-budget '80s crime drama rather than modern superhero epic. It's hard for me to imagine any of these tracks behind scenes from any recent superhero movie, for example.
The two Geartown tracks, done in a more rock style, appeal to me more than the rest. But two tracks do not redeem the whole album for me, and "The Geartown Grinders" still has a considerable dose of EDM in it. My favorite track of the bunch is "Geartown Trouble"; I really like the rock style, quick tempo, and driving guitars, and it's one of the better tracks with respect to looping. It could serve as good background music for a gritty Stark City fight scene, if it's not too distracting (turn down the volume). However, it's also very short (2:24).
Some of the tracks ("Crawling the Catacombs," "Geartown Trouble," "Platinum Coast Nightlife") loop reasonably well if you don't listen too closely, or if you set your player to eliminate the silence at the end. Others ("Freefall") have beginnings and endings that are too definite for looping. None of the tracks sound like they were actually designed to loop, which is a big oversight in gaming background music. Also, the ID3 tags did not include an album name in the release that I downloaded, and the cover artwork provided separately (rather than embedded in the MP3s) has the rectangular aspect ratio of a letter-sized piece of paper (i.e., the cover of the Stark City sourcebook) rather than of a typical CD or MP3 album insert (square). This makes the cover art look odd and disruptive next to the other albums in my iTunes collection … and just trimming the cover artwork down isn't a good option because of where the words are placed in the image.
To sum up, the quality of the music isn't bad, but heavy dance-techno feel of the music clashes for me with the superhero genre.

This is another beautifully-illustrated and well-designed model from Fat Dragon Games! Assembly isn't too difficult, and the results are very nice. Interior floorplan tiles (beyond just the very basic stone with trapdoor) would have been a great bonus; you'll get very worthwhile mileage out of the exterior, though, and the cost is very reasonable.

HS1 The Slaying Stone (4e)
Wizards of the Coast
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 07/04/2013 20:07:28
"The Slaying Stone" marked Wizards of the Coast's second pass at heroic tier adventure modules for D&D 4e, and as such it incorporates several years' worth of innovations and lessons learned. The whole thing is written in a way that is very helpful for beginning DMs but never patronizing or insulting to experienced DMs. The storyline is pretty much in the "search for a MacGuffin, with complications" mold, but there are enough interesting NPCs and competing factions to keep things interesting. The layout and presentation are very nice, and the module makes the transition to PDF well, with just a couple of caveats about that. First, the module was originally designed for print, with the assumption that the writeups for tactical encounters would span two facing pages. Thus, if you're running the adventure from the printed book, you just lay it flat and you have everything you need—all the maps and stat blocks and such—right in front of you without having to flip pages. This gets slightly more complicated if you're running the module from a computer screen where you have to scroll up and down a lot, or on a tablet where you're seeing one page at a time. The other big limitation, of course, is that the PDF version does not include the poster map that came with the printed version, so you'll have to find an alternate way to construct those tactical encounter areas on your tabletop. On the other hand, the PDF is well bookmarked, something that doesn't apply in print. Each version uses its medium well, although WotC could have gone one better by including printable maps.

Against the Darkness: Into the Fire
Tabletop Adventures, LLC
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 07/04/2013 13:53:13
Although I'm very glad to see a new release for "Against the Darkness" (albeit six years after the core rulebook), I cannot rate the product as high as I'd like to. "Into the Fire" is pretty straightforward and showcases the tone of "Against the Darkness" well. On the other hand, the adventure is a little too straightforward at critical junctures, and the production values are noticeably below those of the AtD core rulebook.
Let's start with the adventure's strengths, though. The plot is straightforward and very easy for a beginning GM to run. Author Vicki Potter has very helpfully provided guidance for running two versions (shorter and longer) of the scenario, a feature worthy of emulation. Various scenes in the adventure invite the Justiciars to make both mundane and miraculous contributions to resolving the scenario's major problem, a forest fire. Overall, the adventure is a pretty good way for both GMs and players to become acquainted with "Against the Darkness."
However, there are some noticeable downsides as well—but I cannot explain them without giving away some plot elements, so consider this sentence your spoiler alert! The product description begins with the setup: "An unnatural forest fire threatens a Catholic center for contemplation and prayer." Based on this description, I expected some kind of connection between the fire and the retreat center. There really isn't one; the center functions a lot like the village inn in a stereotypical fantasy RPG, a mechanism for having all the PCs together in one place at the beginning of the adventure. At crucial points in the story, vital clues just run straight into the Justiciar's open arms (and that is close to a literal description of what happens). Again, I expected more investigation going in, but there's not really much of that. The whole thing really is kind of predictable: unusual occurrences turn out to have a supernatural cause. I can see a real danger of an AtD campaign turning into a "demon of the week" kind of thing, and unfortunately this adventure falls into that pattern.
Finally, I have to note that the production values are well below those of the AtD rulebook. The use of clip art and stock photos from a variety of sources and in a variety of styles is fairly jarring and somewhat off-putting. The very first page features no fewer than five different typefaces, another aesthetic misstep. Even the Table of Contents wavers inexplicably between Times New Roman and Palatino (or the Windows clone thereof), uses colons inconsistently at the end of headings, and switches between colons and dashes about 2/3 of the way through. The inconsistencies and poor aesthetic choices don't interfere with the adventure as such, but they do hamper my enjoyment of the product.
Now despite the last two paragraphs, I repeat that I'm very glad to see a published adventure for "Against the Darkness," and I hope we'll see more of them—with varied plotlines and threats, and with higher production values. I wish I could justify giving the product more stars, because I want to support and promote this product line. However, I have to be honest with myself and with review readers, and this adventure just isn't as good as I wanted it to be, or as I normally expect Tabletop Adventures products to be.
(In the interests of full disclosure, I should note that I have contributed material to other Tabletop Adventures products [in the "Bits of" line], but I did not have anything to do with the production of "Into the Fire.")

Against the Darkness
Tabletop Adventures, LLC
Christopher H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 07/04/2013 03:09:31
Try to picture Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as Catholic priests instead of FBI agents, or Buffy Summers and her friends as seminary students instead of high school students, and you're well on your way to getting into the spirit of "Against the Darkness." The straightforward and effective rules set does a good job of covering many possibilities while remaining light on details. The task resolution system is used across the board for all situations, combat and non-combat. Die-hard "simulationist" gamers won't be satisfied with the level of specificity; for example, a single "Combat" skill covers all forms of armed and unarmed combat, and almost all combat attacks deal the same amount of damage (which doesn't require a die roll). However, if you can accept the system's "coarseness," you'll find that the "rules light" approach allows you to keep the action moving along with minimal interruptions.
The rulebook bills the game's genre as "Vatican horror," and the PCs are assumed to work for or with a secretive order within a fictionalized version of the Roman Catholic Church. The treatment of religion (both institutional and otherwise) is fictionalized but respectful. Christian GMs and players might agree with the game's implicit theology in the real world, but should not find it offensive in the fictional world. The game is flexible enough to accommodate anything from orthodox (if old-fashioned) Catholicism to a more Pentacostal flavor to something out of "The Exorcist" or "The Da Vinci Code." (It might be relevant to mention here that I am personally a committed Protestant whose day job is teaching biblical studies at the undergraduate and master's degree levels.)
I like the overall tone and mechanics of the game very much, but I do find the product lacking in a couple of respects. As a matter of production quality, the typeface choices are inconsistent and sometimes unattractive; for example, one body paragraph might be set in Garamond, the next in Times New Roman. However, with only a few exceptions, the book seems to have been well-edited; readers won't be tripping over grammatical errors every paragraph or so, as is often the case with small-press publications. As a matter of content, I felt that Specializations could have been explained a bit more clearly, and the rulebook occasionally features some repetitions that could perhaps have been avoided. But the main thing that hampers the rulebook—and the primary reason for my 4-star rating instead of a 5-star rating—is the lack of a sample adventure with mechanics. Interludes of short fiction illustrate the kinds of stories one might tell with "Against the Darkness," but these are not illustrated with game mechanics. The introduction claims that "[i]n this rulebook … you will find everything you need to understand the rules, create characters, and begin playing," but that's not quite true; the GM still needs to come up with an adventure for the PCs to experience. The rulebook does contain several intriguing campaign ideas, but the lack of an included mini-adventure or sample scenario is a significant omission. (Tabletop Adventures did later release an introductory adventure, but that was six years after the publication of the rulebook.)
All in all, "Against the Darkness" fills an interesting niche in the RPG market, and it does so rather well.
(In the interests of full disclosure, I should note that I have contributed material to other Tabletop Adventures products [in the "Bits of" line], but I did not have anything to do with the production of "Against the Darkness.")

ICONS: Operation Shatterstone!
Ad Infinitum Adventures
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 07/04/2013 02:05:06
Operation: Shatterstone combines the "planetary disaster" and "alien invasion" motifs into a rollicking fun ICONS adventure. Author Dain Lybarger has populated this adventure with compelling situations, engaging NPCs, and interesting villains. Many possible plot elements and variations are included, so even novice ICONS GMs should be able to run the adventure pretty easily. The adventure would work fine as a one-shot, the beginning to a campaign, or an episode within a larger campaign. Dan Houser's artwork lives up to the high standards he's set in previous ICONS products. The layout mimics the layout of Great Power, but reverts to Helvetica Neue for body type, resulting in an overall less attractive presentation. Dozens of grammatical and typesetting errors and/or inconsistencies unfortunately mar the presentation. These issues aren't significant enough to impede readers' understanding, but they are noticeable. If DTRPG supported half stars, I'd add half a star to my rating.

Fantastic Maps - Iconic Island
Rite Publishing
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/15/2013 23:49:27
This "Fantastic Map" differs from most of its line in two notable ways. First, the scale; instead of a miniatures-scale battlemap, this map presents an exploration-scale overview of the titular island. When I say "exploration-scale," understand that the map itself doesn't prescribe a scale. The land mass presented could be a relatively small island or a large continent; it's all up to you. Second, the format: instead of the usual PDFs, this map ships as a set of four JPGs, allowing for easy editing using Photoshop, GIMP, or a similar tool. Third, the icons: the product includes a folder full of beautifully-textured icons (in PNG format) that you can layer upon the JPG backgrounds to produce a keyed map to your own specifications. If you're competent with an image-editing program that uses layers and opens both JPGs and PNGs, you'll find this to be an excellent product.

Ground set #15 - Astral Plane
Lord Zsezse Works
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/14/2013 14:24:06
Like all LZW Ground Sets, Astral Plane offers a substantial collection of 6x6 tiles in various configurations, with a "pavement" texture sitting atop a background texture. In this case, the background looks like outer space, and the pavement looks like bumpy green cobblestones. Many tiles are punctuated with ripples or vortexes of purple energy. The whole effect is sufficiently odd to befit an exotic setting like an astral plane, and the artwork beautifully complements LZW's Battlemap: The Plane of Havoc. However, the Astral Plane tiles are 6x6 and the Plane of Havoc tiles are 7x10 with well-defined outside borders, so they don't really fit together that well as a practical matter.

Battlemap - The Plane of Havoc
Lord Zsezse Works
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/14/2013 14:22:39
This latest in LZW's series of battlemaps with a connected storyline brings characters into an otherworldly realm "paved" with something that looks like green cobblestones. The artwork is beautifully executed, but perhaps a little too tightly tied into LZW's ongoing story. The map is long and thin, with unfortunate bottlenecks at a few points, making it a little bit "railroady." The really significant negative, though, is the depiction of Abaddon chained at the end of the "room." Having him pictured on the map ties him down, either making him more of a terrain feature than a creature or forcing players and DMs to ignore the printed representation if Abaddon gets loose. Also, although the artwork here blends beautifully with the artwork in LZW's Ground Set #15 - Astral Plane, the Astral Plane tiles are 6x6 and the Plane of Havoc tiles are 7x10 with well-defined outside borders, so they don't really fit together that well as a practical matter.

Dragon Magazine Annual, Vol. 1 (4e)
Wizards of the Coast
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/10/2013 01:27:49
This volume, the first and only Dragon Magazine Annual from the 4e era, contains a selection of 14 articles from the first year of Dragon Magazine's PDF-only, 4e run. About half of the articles are really DM material, such as the articles on Yeenoghu, kobolds, Orcus cults, and the Bloodghost Syndicate. All of these articles are a lot of fun, and can really enrich any campaign's use of the creatures and organizations described therein. Of course, the stat blocks reflect the first year's monster math, and most DMs will want to update the math before actually using the creatures. For players, you have star pact warlocks, feats for gladiators and assassins, paragon paths for gladiators and planar-attuned characters, and so on. Several of the articles on the player side tend toward the darker aspects of D&D (dhampyr, shadar-kai, assassins), and I personally wouldn't have chosen them for a showcase volume like this one.
If you subscribe to D&D Insider, you have all of the information in this compilation already, including the original versions in Dragon Magazine. If you're not an Insider and you DM 4th edition, you'll find half or more of the volume to be useful, if you update the monster math according to the guidelines given in the latest rules updates. The fact that there was only one such annual suggests that non-subscribers weren't that interested in the material compiled here.
This PDF has better bookmarking than the Dungeon Magazine Annual, although the bookmarks still seem to have been auto-generated rather than created by hand. There's no need, for example, for a bookmark to the front cover, and when you burrow into the bookmarks at lower levels, some of the anchors don't make a lot of sense.

RPG Background Loops MP3: Clockwork Factory
Plate Mail Games
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/08/2013 20:54:36
This piece is nothing more or less than a repeated clockwork tick-tock punctuated by heavy cogs turning—exactly as advertised. Unlike some RPG background pieces, this one has no music, only sound effects. As I first listened, I kept thinking of the scenes inside Big Ben in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. If you're playing D&D, this piece would work great in the background while encountering modrons or making a visit to their clockwork plane. And unlike some RPG MP3 publishers, Plate Mail has paid careful attention to the ID3 tags and has even embedded artwork (of a sort, just words on a maroon background) in the MP3 file. Just drop it into iTunes or similar software and go!

Scary discovery
Arkania Studios
Chris H.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/06/2013 14:52:29
The music in this MP3 would work reasonably well under a short RPG scene in which the PCs make a "Scary Discovery." A feeling of suspense and urgency permeates the track, but the track remains nonintrusive enough that it enhances rather than distracts from gameplay. The track does not appear to have been composed with looping in mind, however, and the fade-in and fade-out produce a gap of silence when you loop the track. On the negative side, if the titular discovery is scary, the metadata tags in this MP3 are downright terrifying. The album is given as "Album de geoffrey gerbou" and the track's title is given as "original theme 2 jdr d"—the latter being particularly annoying because I wouldn't think to search my iTunes library for "original theme 2 jdr d" to find a track that's supposed to be called "Scary Discovery." No artwork was embedded in the MP3 or included with the download, leaving the track with an ugly generic tile in iTunes or similar software. Sure, the track is only $1, but when you're selling digital music at any price you should pay attention to industry conventions and user expectations, and you shouldn't make it hard for your customers to use your product.

How to resume an app (Windows Store apps using C#/VB/C++ and XAML)
Learn how to refresh displayed content when the system resumes your Windows Store app. The example in this topic registers an event handler for the Resuming event.
Roadmap: How does this topic relate to others? See:
Step 1: Register the resuming event handler
Register to handle the Resuming event, which indicates that the user switched away from your app and then back to it.
Public NonInheritable Class MainPage Public Sub New() InitializeComponent() AddHandler Application.Current.Resuming, AddressOf App_Resuming End Sub End Class
Step 2: Refresh displayed content after suspension
When your app handles the Resuming event, it has the opportunity to refresh its displayed content.
partial class MainPage { private void App_Resuming(Object sender, Object e) { // TODO: Refresh network data } }
Public NonInheritable Class MainPage Private Sub App_Resuming(sender As Object, e As Object) ' TODO: Refresh network data End Sub End Class
void MainPage::App_Resuming(Object^ sender, Object^ e) { // TODO: Refresh network data }
Note Because the Resuming event is not raised from the UI thread, a dispatcher must be used to get to the UI thread and inject an update to the UI, if that's something you want to do in your handler.
The system suspends your app whenever the user switches to another app or to the desktop. The system resumes your app whenever the user switches back to it. When the system resumes your app, the content of your variables and data structures is the same as it was before the system suspended the app. The system restores the app exactly where it left off, so that it appears to the user as if it's been running in the background. However, the app may have been suspended for a significant amount of time, so it should refresh any displayed content that might have changed while the app was suspended, such as news feeds or the user's location.
If your app doesn't have any displayed content to refresh, there's no need for it to handle the Resuming event.
A note about debugging using Visual Studio: When your app is attached to the Visual Studio debugger, you can send it a Resume event. Make sure the Debug Location toolbar is being shown, and click the drop-down next to the Suspend icon. Then choose Resume.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT - The photograph in Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's office captures the "mission accomplished" moment.
It shows Panetta, then the head of the CIA, and others in the CIA operations center on the night of May 2 with their arms around each other. They were in quiet celebration after U.S. special operations forces returned to Afghanistan having found and killed Osama bin Laden.
Not until then - 90 minutes after U.S. helicopters had lifted off from the compound in Pakistan where they went in search of the al-Qaida leader - was Panetta sure he could breathe a sigh of relief.
With the first anniversary of bin Laden's death approaching, Panetta tells reporters that there's no question in his mind that the U.S. is safer as a result of the raid.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The wealthy Bluths saw their lives come crashing down before them after the arrest of family patriarch George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor). Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is left to pick up the pieces and keep his family together, creating a hilarious dynamic between the ragtag cast, including Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Michael Cera and Will Arnett. Several years after its 2006 cancelation, the series came back into the spotlight in 2013—due in no small part to its enormous, cult-like following.

Agol's Story
Even amongst a dozen or so children, covered in dust from months of South Sudan's blistering dry season, little Agol stood out. Her tummy was visibly larger than the others … bloated from voracious parasites that have invaded her tiny body.
Her mother, Awoot, had come to the World Concern seed fair that day in hopes of obtaining the tools to plant crops for her hungry family.
Devastating rains and severe flooding in 2012 had destroyed their crops. And Awoot was left with no food to feed her four children.
But as the murky floodwaters seeped into the village, they brought something else, just as threatening. Sickness.
"The children got diseases—malaria and others … They got stomach aches and headaches," recalled Awoot. Young Agol got sick with diarrhea and she lost some of her hair, Awoot said.
Even after the floodwaters receded, little Agol's sickness lingered …
"Her belly is big from this," said her mom … a telling sign of worms, no doubt.
Parasites, like the ones making Agol so sick, enter a child's weakened body through contaminated water, food (eaten with dirty hands after going to the bathroom), or even the soles of her bare feet. They are easily spread to others, especially when family members lack access to clean water, toilets, and proper hygiene.
Your gift will cure a child like Agol from worms, enabling her to absorb nutrients from her food, sleep better, and develop properly—bringing life-long benefits of health.

Great for Emergent & Struggling Readers

Comments about Sound Box Answer Boards:
We were given this product to review and LOVED it! This is such a fun and hands-on tool for emergent readers or struggling readers to work on phonological awareness skills, which are foundational skills in learning to read and write! My kids {ages 3 and 4} loved to "park" the cars as we worked on syllables, phonemes, and even a little math game.

Fears grow that Libya is incubator of turmoil
The bearded young man said he lay down his weapons last year. But he said he would take arms up again if Libya's next constitution doesn't make a clear reference to rule by Islamic law or if secular politicians hold power and try to rein in jihadis.
Jihani proudly said he believes in al-Qaida and supports its slain leader Osama bin Laden and Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar. He said that during Libya's civil war in 2011, he killed a captured soldier from Gadhafi's army after discovering 11 video clips on his mobile phone showing soldiers raping women and men. Jihani said he ordered the soldier to dig his own grave, then severed his head with a knife.
"I wish I could behead him 11 times," he said. His story could not be independently confirmed.
Stewart, of Stratfor, also pointed to a concern that al-Qaida could make inroads among Libya's impoverished and alienated Tuareg.
Living in mud-brick slums or camps in the deserts of southwestern Libya, most Tuaregs were never given citizenship under Gadhafi's rule, though he used their fighters as mercenaries, and now they suffer not only from poverty but from the disdain of Libyans who see them as Gadhafi loyalists.
For centuries, Tuareg ran caravan routes across the Sahara, carrying gold and other valuables. Now they're known for smuggling weapons and drugs. In slums around the towns of Sabha and Owbari, they sleep next to livestock in shacks with corrugated metal roofs, with webs of electric cables dangling from poles overhead and garbage-filled streets.
Libya's new leadership has largely shunned them. The Tuareg's four members in parliament were removed because of ties to Gadhafi's regime, leaving them without a political voice. The Tuareg contend they were exploited by Gadhafi, along with all other Libyans.
"Gadhafi's rule left behind a breeding ground for terrorism by depriving people of their rights and education .... After all the promises, we thought we will live in heaven, but kids here die from scorpion bites," said Suleiman Naaim, a Tuareg rights activist, told the AP in Owbari.

text: Please let us know in what year and what day of the month Pa was born--- Raleigh Sept. 23rd 1862. My very dear dear Aunt. Oh! How sad is the news which was yesterday transmitted to us through the telegraph. It seems very hard for us to realize, nevertheless it is true. I will try and give you the circumstances as well as it is in my power. On last Sunday morning just as we were going to church a dispatch was brought to us, saying that it was reported in Richmond that Pa was killed. Oh! Such a shock it was. We had not even heard that he was in the battle. All day Sunday we endured this suspense not knowing whether it was a mere idle rumer [sic] coming from a straggler from the battle field, or whether it was a sad reality as it has proven to be. Sunday night about 10 o'clock we had another dispatch saying that Pa was safe, for the gentleman that telegraphed had seen an aide of Gen. A. P. Hill's who said
