Next to the sadism of a game like Paranoia, and maybe very early Dungeons & Dragons and its dungeons full of death traps, no game is quite as cruel to player characters as Call of Cthulhu. Notes to the Keeper often encourage the grisly murder of characters to advance the plot and nearly every scenario features a moment when most or all of the players are likely to either perish or go completely insane. Recent years have seen the increasing popularity of modern and even futuristic Cthulhu scenarios, with a general increase in investigator firepower. For Mansions of Madness we return to the roots of classic 1920s horror adventure with this five-scenario collection of adventures involving mansions. Today's scenario: Mister Corbitt.
Zack: We should have saved this for Halloween.
Steve: Aw, come on, at the rate we finish these it will take us until then to get through all five scenarios.
Zack: Call of Cthulhu is one of those games that has an awkward system, lots of percentile dice rolls and weird random tables, but it serves the story to have tons of weird skill checks and unwieldy combats that can end in death with a single gunshot.
Steve: Yeah, right on, it's not a barbarian rampage type of game. It's like Sherlock Holmes or something if Moriarty was 200 feet tall and wanted to eat you.
Zack: Sherlock Holmes and the Godzilla of Gobblethorpe.
Steve: Since you know so much about Call of Cthulhu I think it is clear I should run the adventure. And you need to come up with a whole group of investigators.
Zack: Already done. My main man is Cecil Talbot. He cares for his aging mother at the Talbot mansion and uses her fortune to collect antique firearms, pornographic statuary and forbidden texts.
Steve: So basically the same interests as you.
Zack: He combines the pencil-thin mustache and affectation of John Waters with the bug-eyes of Steve Buscemi. He is equipped with linen pajamas, a silk Kimono he wears over the pajamas for additional armor, ladies' cigarettes, a 16th century marine flintlock adorned to resemble a devil penis, and an extra large mint julep. He enjoys throwing parties for his friends. He is also an incurable racist.
Steve: Dang dude you put way more thought into this than usual.
Zack: Cecil's companions are Wanda and Regina Shackleford, spinster sisters with shared interests in phrenology and seances, Pips Codswallop, the famed war aviator of England who was denied his official ace status and spent months in a sanitarium for insisting his fifth kill was against a giant black bat, Sharon Derriere, the bewitching stag film actress best known for The Virgin's Nightdress and her performance in 1922's The Mermaid and the Naughty Octopus, a film she does not remember appearing in which is so perverse the government has burned every copy it can find, and Chang the Celestial, an inscrutable oriental who harbors a dark secret: he is Mexican and just playing along with the racist white people who think he is Chinese.
Steve: Hang on, let me write all those down. I will have to play them most of the time.
Steve: This is going to be complicated.
Zack: You're welcome.

are you picking a winner, confirming prize then drawing the next guy, or did you draw all at once and now you just need to wait to confirm a prize before moving on to the next one?
I think it's one by one, since people get to choose which prize they want. So someone will be drawn and then contacted as to what they want (if anything is left they do want).
I've got my fingers crossed although I'm not really lucky…
V got a good prize. 1600MS points is a $20 prize. Not too shabby!

Thank youuuu, Jedi. ;D
And thank you, Sic! I used the points to buy some awesome games. Fable 3 for $9.99, another game for $2.99. So many deals!
So many deals!
So many deals!
I saw some of those daily and weekly deals going on. Crazy! Except for the CoD one. That was only to be expected that they wouldn't be super cheap. Still think I might pick up El Shaddai before the sale ends.
There are two more winners on the way, but I sent them both a PM at the same time in a race to get first choice of prize. I'll post more when I find out more/have more winners.
Kongratz V and oat. Have fun!

I'm jealous of myself!
Never thought I'd actually win anything contest-wise, hehe.
Just wondering, is this where I reply? I pm'ed you, but I'll post here as well: 3 month subscription, with a backup of 300 kreds. Thank you so much again!
The PM was fine. I can't very well place redemption codes in public. Or can I? Everyone on the internet is trustworthy, right?
Kongrats on winning the race, too!
I have cancer, could you choose me as the winner?

It was intended to be a joke. Sorry, i feel bad now…
Gratz to the winners. :D Nice more winners to be announced? :D
more winners to be announced?
more winners to be announced?
I still have one pending winner to decide on prize. After that, there still are four more winners to be picked.
I knew getting into this "pick your prize" thing that it wasn't going to be super quick. So I apologize for leaving people hanging. I swear I'm not completely evil.

Sure you are!
First you forced me to post, and you forced me to take a prize of 1600 microsoft points. >:3
I badly want to win one of Sic's contests/giveaways. Can't afford the K+, otherwise I'd have it.
Does this imply that some winners have already been chosen? If so, I can't find the post. :|

Do you think anyone will just buy a really cheap old iPod and scratch it up to try and win?
Posted by tom on January 9, 2006 at 2:02 PM (CST)
problem with that is most ipods aren't "cheap". search a site like ebay and you will see that most are going for higher prices than most tech at the age. its ironic really, you can buy old windows stuff ultra cheap, but apple stuff retains its appeal long after it has been replaced.
Posted by photofire on January 9, 2006 at 5:19 PM (CST)
Is this like video and nano specific or can it be a mini? I have a first generation mini that is so beat up.. And also, you just have to show them right? You don't have to hand it over?..
Posted by Jesse on January 9, 2006 at 7:03 PM (CST)
You can bring by any model or generation of iPod. If it is more beat up than our demo (as judged by our staff), you win a free kit. You keep your iPod and can use the kit to restore it.
Everyone who comes by can be entered in the drawing for the free nano.
See you there!

Evaluating Teachers
A Sample List of Teacher Evaluation Questions
It is helpful before conducting a teacher evaluation for the teacher to answer evaluation questions to give the evaluator some prior knowledge.
How Do You Make Classroom Observations a Priority?
Prioritizing responsibilities is a must if a principal is going to be good at their job. Making classroom observations a priority can be challenging.
Philosophy of Teacher Observation
Teacher observation is an ongoing assessment and evaluation of what is going on within and around an administrator's school facility.
Post Evaluation Form
After evaluating a teacher it is necessary to meet with the teacher. The post evaluation form provides documentation that you did meet with the teacher.
Pre-Evaluation Form
Before observing a teacher you should have a conference to go over specific details. This pre-evaluation form provides documentation for the meeting.
Sample Plan of Improvement for Teachers
A plan of improvement can be written for any teacher who performs unsatisfactorily in one or more areas.
School Administrator's Guide to Teacher Evaluation
The teacher evaluation process is a major part of a school principal's job. Having a grasp on this process is essential in maximizing teacher improvement.

I was thinking of you tonight, Allen Ginsberg, as I walked down Polk Street,
laid now bare by AIDS and indifference, walked under a fog-shrouded
moon, thinking of you and Kerouac and hipster Zen haiku.
In my hungry fatigue, I wandered into Safeway, that luminous
cornucopia, open 24-7 and gleaming in supernatural ecstasy, the pursuit
of bread and cheese at midnight enshrined in the Declaration.
What perfect fruit! What perfect red meat! Amber-lit aisles of
genetically modified cereal grains dosed with sugar! All America is shopping
tonight, three carts over-flowing and don't forget the latest National Enquirer!
Is this America, this endless consumption? America still has its
nuclear bombs, so what the fuck, and what the fuck has changed–and you,
Bill Burroughs, junkie-queer, when did you fly in and what were you doing,
lingering in the produce aisle, sniffing peaches, squeezing the tomatoes?
I saw you, Allen Ginsberg, lonely and childless, grubbing among
the cleaning products, the bleach and the Pine Sol, mumbling, wondering
when America will finally come clean, and like Walt, eyeing the grocery
I heard the questions you asked America: Why are the graves full
of tears? Where are the angels of our better nature? Why are you naked?
I followed you though this labyrinth, secure in the certainty that you
had strung the string that would lead the way out.
We dragged ourselves through these canyons of splendor, fingering every
Made in China delight two dollars and twenty-seven cents, and never finding
that angry fix.
Where are we going, Allen Ginsberg? The parking lot is chained and
anyway, it seems I have lost my car. Can you divine where I left it?
(I clutch your book and dream of our sojourn in California. Eureka!
Where has it gone?)
Are we lonely enough to dance together down the dark, negro streets
toward the false hope of dawn? There is no sun, no shade, and the twilight's
last gleaming is shrouded in fog.
Shall we cross the bridges to the new America, past the rusting shells
of blue automobiles and vacant strip malls, to our cinderblock motel?
Ah, dear friend, monkish iconoclast, where is the revolution? Did it die
in Vietnam with the 58,000? Where can America go now that Charon's outboard
has no gas? When it comes time to depart this smoking ruin, shall we swim
in the black waters of the Lethe?
29 August 2011
Tokyo, Japan
After Allen Ginsberg's "A Supermarket in California" with references from his poems "Howl" and "America," all of which can be found in Howl and Other Poems (1956).
"A Supermarket in San Francisco," was first published on the Dead Beats Literary Blog on 13 September 2012.

The key is to learn to say "yes" to the right things and "no" to the wrong ones. That's easier to do if you understand the following four saying yes traps and their solutions.
Trap #1: Good Candy. Remember when you were a kid and there was always one house on the block that handed out really good Halloween candy? Your plans always included a visit to that address. Even as an adult, no one wants to feel like they are missing out. Say you get invited to the movies, or you are asked to be part of a task team at work. Instead of saying I'm too tired or busy, you say yes for fear that if you decline you might miss an opportunity. Marjorie Brody author of Career Magic: A Women's Guide to Reward and Recognition says, "We are afraid that if we say no, we might miss a chance to be recognized for our talents or seen as someone who is willing to jump in and help out. We don't want to be the only one not going to the party."
Smart Solution: When you want to participate but the timing or scope is wrong, you can always offer an option or ask for a rain check. Try saying "I'd love to be asked at another time."

A Chinese conglomerate has bought the 1.5 hectare block bordering the heritage listed Stonington Mansion.
The 1.5-hectare block of land bordered by Glenferrie Road and Somers Avenue is one of the last prime developments sites available in the blue-chip Melbourne suburb.
Mark Wizel from CB Richard Ellis said the Ever Bright Group finalised the purchase this week.
The site has an associated master plan that allows development of 31 apartments, 14 luxury houses, 22 townhouses and 12 ''townhomes'', which Ever Bright intends to start building within months, Mr Wizel said.
An aerial of the Stonington mansion site.
The land is close to Melbourne's premier private schools and the Armadale and Toorak shopping precincts.
''Some of Melbourne's wealthiest families competed to secure the site, alongside a range of experienced interstate private investors, active Australian institutions and offshore developers,'' Mr Wizel said.
The Ever Bright Group is an investment and financing vehicle established by the Chinese government.
The site originally included the heritage-listed Stonington Mansion when it was sold by Deakin University in 2006 to the Hampton group, a property development company.
Hampton was believed to have paid $33 million for the three-hectare site.
In 2007, Hampton sold the historic Stonington Mansion building without the land to art dealer Rodney Menzies for more than $18 million, a Melbourne residential property record at the time. The stables and gatehouse were also sold separately.
At the time, Stonnington Council waged an ultimately fruitless campaign to keep the entire property in public hands.
''This is yet more evidence that they sold it for a fire sale and that there could have been a better outcome,'' Stonnington councillor and former major John Chandler said.

iPod chip supplier offers upbeat prognosis on HDD iPod marketPortalPlayer, which supplies the MP3 decoder and controller chip for Apple's hard drive based iPods, yesterday offered an upbeat prognosis on the hard drive-based digital music player market during a quarterly conference call with analyst and the media.
The company reported earnings for the March quarter of 33 cents per share on revenues of $44.5M, beating Wall Street's expectations of 20 cents on $38.3M in revenues. More than 85% of PortalPlayer revenue was from sales to Apple, the company said. For the June quarter, PortablePlayer is guiding earnings between 21 and 26 cents on revenues of $41.6M to $47.6M.
In a research note released to clients today and obtained by AppleInsider, investment research firm PiperJaffray said PortalPlayer's June guidance is positive for Apple's hard disk drive (HDD)-based iPods and that it may be consistent with a trend where consumers are consistently being up-sold to 4GB iPod minis when they intended to buy a 1GB iPod shuffle, given the minimal $50 difference in price. The firm is currently modeling HDD iPod unit shipments of 3.3M for Apple's June quarter.
Late last week, Synaptics, maker of scroll wheels for Apple's HDD iPods, provided guidance slightly below Wall Street estimates for the June quarter, based on expectations for softness in its portable music player business. Noting that this outlook is clearly contrary to PortalPlayer's bullish June quarter guidance, Senior Analyst Gene Munster said, "Given that more than 85% of PortalPlayer revenue is from iPod, while approximately 35% of Synaptics' revenue is from iPod, we believe PortalPlayer is a more relevant benchmark for potential changes in iPod unit shipments."
Examining the big picture, PiperJaffray said Apple's domination in digital music is a critical piece to the story, but is not the only potential growth avenue for the company. "Indirectly, we expect iPod to continue to be a foundation for growth in other parts of Apple's business, and we expect that by the end of 2005 more than 35m iPods will have shipped, providing Apple with a greater scope of awareness for various products," the firm said.
PiperJaffray maintains an "Outperform" rating on Apple shares with a price target of $52.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES -- Beverly Hills police say they have concluded Whitney Houston's death investigation and found no signs that a crime occurred.
RELATED: Friends Remember Whitney Houston
Lt. Mark Rosen said Wednesday that the determination was made after reviewing the Grammy-winning singer's full autopsy report, which attributed her death to accidental drowning. Coroner's officials ruled heart disease and cocaine use also contributed to the 48-year-old singer's death.
Houston died in a bathtub in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards. TMZ reported on Wednesday that it had obtained the 911 call placed after the singer had been discovered unresponsive in the tub. The website reported that in the call, a member of the Beverly Hilton security team is heard telling the 911 operator of a "46-year-old female found in the bathroom" who was not breathing. He never mentions Houston by name.
Police have repeatedly said they have found no signs of foul play in Houston's death.
Rosen extended condolences to Houston's family and fans. Houston had been planning a comeback, including a starring role in the remake of the film "Sparkle," which is due for release later this year.

Another Monday and time to put the Bolton game and their typically graceless manager behind us. We've got plenty to occupy us with a trip to Craven Cottage to play Fulham on Wednesday and then it's Sp*rs at the Grove on Saturday.
We'll have Henry and van Persie back which will certainly add something to our attacking play and hopefully Tomas Rosicky will have recoverd in time to take part. Again, I hope the manager goes to 4-4-2, uses the strikers to the best of their ability and after the Reebok there will be some players with a point to prove.
There's no question it's a game we have to win not only for the points but to restore some pride, build some confidence and set us up for the visit of the old enemy at the weekend.
Other than that there's not much happening this morning. Yesterday's 1-1 draw between the red cunts and the blue cunts was probably the best result we could have hoped for but as they drop points we have to ensure we don't drop any more between now and 2011.
Anyway, to try and cheer you up this morning I've got a little competition for you. I have two of these fantastic Kolo t-shirts to give away thanks to my good chums at Goalhanger.
All you have to do is answer the following question:
From which club did we sign Kolo Toure. Was it:
a) ASEC Mimosas
b) OPEC Tungrastas
c) EPIC Boombastas
Answers to firstname.lastname@example.com and the winners will be announced on Wednesday morning when the Randon Number Generator will do its thing.
And that is that for now. More fallout, discussion and previews tomorrow.

Gang of 8 Members Comment on the Anniversary of Senate Immigration Reform Bill Intro
April 16, 2014
Washington, DC – On the one-year anniversary of the introduction of S.744, The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Michael Bennet (D-CO), all members of the Senate's "Gang of 8," issued the following statement:
"The success of the Gang of 8 proved that compromise, cooperation, and bipartisanship are not only possible, but also necessary to get the job done," said the Senators. "We're forever proud and grateful to have been part of the cohort that hammered out a strong bipartisan immigration reform effort in the Senate. Despite being so close to permanently fixing our broken system once and for all, the path forward continues to be inexcusably stalled in the House of Representatives. It is our sincere hope that House Republicans move away from extremes so that commonsense immigration reform can be finally pushed over the finish line."

For the first time, there's a chink in the armor.
For ten years I've been a Thrashers fan, following this team through its few highs and many lows. Across that stretch of time I've laughed at the disdain that people display when they say that NHL hockey can't survive in the Sun Belt. Not just particular markets--notably Dallas and LA, where it has thrived--but all southern regions. I note to myself how the Islanders' attendance has been awful for years, for example, yet you don't hear cries to move that team.
But after what I witnessed last night, for the first time I wonder if the naysayers just might be on to something. And it KILLS me to say that, but unfortunately they may have a point. Reason being the following: (1) Attendance was barely over 12,000. Folks there should have been a line at the ticket window stretching all the way to Alpharetta. There is simply no excuse for a metro area this size not coming to support their team, on the last week of the season, while we were in the middle of a playoff race, when the team's best former player ever is back in town for the first time. (2) At first I found all the Kovalchuk booing amusing, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that it was just wrong on so many levels. People, he didn't re-sign with them, he was *traded.* The way the fans acted, you couldn't tell the difference. And he repeatedly said that he wanted to play for a winning team. What exactly is so bad about that? Really, signs across the arena should been thanking Kovy for being one of the few very good things that's happened to this franchise, not deriding him for being some sort of traitor.
Now just to clarify, I don't mean that one poor attendance night or one poor showing of sportsmanship qualify as reasons to move the team. Far from it. Instead, for me they were the straws that broke the camel's back. The attendance thing especially, this would have been unheard of in a strong hockey market such as Detroit, Minnesota, or Philly. It just doesn't look good when we pull something like we did last night.
The Kovy booing was uncalled for. Yeah, he should get booed if he scores or if he does something shady, but not the traditional Heater booing....
Look, this isn't rocket science. For the last three seasons this organization has done it's best to drive people away from the arena. The sole purpose of the org right now appears to be winning the PR war regarding expectations. Waddell and the Thrashers did their best to portray Ilya as the bad guy, and it worked.
This is a very poorly run organization, and they do not deserve good attendance. They should not make money the way they run their business.
Posted via Mobile Device
Well, I for one was not booing other than the traditional entire opposing team sucks boo.
Kovy did some good things and some bad things here - same as anyone else. I won't really be pissed at him until he signs with another NHL team for less money than we theoretically offered him.
If it was really about the money and he goes back to Russia for $30mm or whatever that's fine. However, signing for less to play in another NHL city just confirms that "I wanna stay in ATL" statement was, in fact, lying - regardless of how poorly this org is run.
This whole franchise just needs to be gutted: ownership, management, and hell if I was buying this outfit I'd even petition King Gary and his Board of Governors to change the name, logo, and colors of the team as well. This organization is just toxic and needs an absolute fresh start with people who truly care for and understand the game. The best marketing firm, community relations, youth development and MOST importantly, the best General Manager and Coach money can buy need to be brought in.
And then I would line them up in a press conference with all the local channels and say "Here's my commitment to you the fans and the game of "professional hockey" in this market. Say hello to all these wonderful new people - absolutely the best in the business. But I'm warning you now, don't get too fond of them because if we're not in the playoffs in 3 years, -make it 2 years if we're not even close- every one of them is fired and I'll be holding a new presser to introduce the new crew. Losing and mediocrity will NOT BE TOLERATED."
No Phys, the naysayers are not on to something. This franchise definitely needs a serious overhaul, but it doesn't deserve to be moved. If our own fans start doubting the teams existence here in Atlanta then who the hell is going to be left to defend them? Don't give them any help. They don't need it.
As for being in the middle of a playoff race, that was a week or two ago. Just looking at the points in the standings before this game started and it was virtually impossible for the Thrashers to make it in anyways. Boston and Philly were not going to be caught by us. There was a slim chance of catching Boston but that would mean them losing basically all the rest of their games. You could hope that Philly would lose the rest of their games as well, fine. But then that means losing 2 of them to the Rangers who are also ahead of us in the standings which then hurts us just as badly as philly winning them anyway.
The time for the fans to show up because "we're in the middle of a playoff race" was 1, 2, even 3 weeks ago. NOT last night.
I just want to say, this forum is really starting to get tough to read. There is so much bellyaching around this place day after day. I don't know how someone is actually supposed to enjoy posting and reading on this forum with all this crap and whining popping up all the time.
People here are tired of the mediocrity, and would undoubtedly show up for meaningful games, no matter when they took place. If we burst into the playoffs and win a round or two, you'll have all those fans in that line to Alpharetta, regardless if it's baseball, football, or even hunting season. Regardless of whether the games were played on a Tuesday or a Sunday in the middle of the NFL season. Hell, you'd start to see more and more people making a "sports day" out of Sundays, attending the Falcons game at 1pm, then walking across to Philips for the Thrashers game, undoubtedly starting at 5pm or so.
Don't give us this "chink in the armor" nonsense. If you want to say you feel bad, come out and say it. Me? I want change, and I want it now. And I don't mean a change of city for this Thrashers team, either.
I would like to apply as Zamboni Driver for your new franchise! :laugh:
And hey everyone....don't EVER forget that Waddell CHOSE to keep Kovy around.
Don't let it fool you. If you parents out there let your kids take the reigns in your house, how many people would be blaming the kid for his dumbassery? I dare say people would blame the parents. Waddell did not do his job. He left Kovy out there and in the end, he made the "kid" the bad guy. Waddell should have put on his "Big Boy Pants" and set a deadline.....YES OR NO.
You think Lou Lamourello would have let him hang around in hopes that people would show up to games until March 1? No, and that's why Kovy said this organization is hopeless in so many words.
Remember, mediocrity will not be accepted at any level of the organization and I won't hesitate to ship you out to the MIC. That has to be the mantra through the entire organization, a complete 180 from this current state of apathy.
Dejavu all over again
I lived through the Dead Wings era of the late 70's through the mid 80's. A horrible situation for an original 6 franchise and not a lot unlike our current situation. I've seen what the right Ownership (Ilitch), Management (Devellano), and Coach (Demers) can do when put together to turn a franchise around. It can be done, but you have to sweep the whole house clean to do it.
He's the one who misled the franchise, why should I have any respect for him?

About the Designer
Ross Lovegrove England (1958 - )
Ross Lovegrove was born in Wales in 1958 and graduated at Manchester Polytechnic in 1980 before moving to London, where he studied at the Royal College of Art, obtaining a Master's degree in Design in 1983. In the early 1980s he worked as a designer in Germany for Frog Design and then in Paris as a consultant with Knoll International. Returning to London in 1988, he developed projects for different companies and began his long and fruitful association with the italian furniture industry. His love of materials-based design and conceptual interest in form as an interface between practical function and psycho-social behaviour and use, are well known. As many critics have noted, one of the major reasons for his success as a product and interior designer is his unusual sensitivity to the physicality of objects, and how form relates to the physical gestures of use. As an 'organic minimalist', Lovegrove rejects the notion that form should be imposed on objects: in his view, an object is a form which generates relationship of use as it moves in space.

We can now offer on short notice voyages in the MSC Geneva and MSC Monterey, two NSB vessels that operate on charter to MSC. Both ships depart La Spezia for Australia via Mauritius. Ports of call include La Spezia, Naples, Gioia Tauro via Pointe des Galets and Port Louis to Sydney (34 days from La Spezia), Melbourne (36 days), Adelaide (40 days) and Fremantle (45 days). The ships then return by way of Singapore and ports in the Middle East (no Middle East embarkation, disembarkation or shore leave is possible). New Zealand is not served on this route. One-way voyages are possible.
The next scheduled departures from La Spezia are September 7 for MSC Monterey and October 19 for MSC Geneva, on which ship we await an extenion of charter. MSC Monterey,but which is on charter to MSC until 2019, is then due back in La Spezia again on November 26. Both ships have only this year been added to this route but there is always the chance that they can be moved once again to another route. However, passenger bookings can be taken on waitlist or short notice if space is available.
Both ships are equipped with an Owners Cabin of 340 sq ft and two Double cabins, one of 340 and one of 270 sq ft in area, all with en suite facilities. Each contains a separate dayroom and bedroom, with fares of €90 to €95 per person per day double or €105 to €110 per day single. Port charges and deviation insurance are extra and a valid yellow fever vaccination is required.
