Have a new idea?
|unclben says:
In addition to the current "Today" and "Tomorrow" tabs, I'd like a "This Week" tab. Preferably, this would show the tasks due for the current day and the following six.

Have you had a chance to look at the weekly planner? I think it will do much of what you're after.
Posted 8 years ago
|unclben says:
Good suggestion, but Weekly Planner doesn't accomplish the right functionality; it's a static, formally generated document. I think the same timeframe should be viewable in the same dynamic manner as the current overview tabs.

Basically, you want the Weekly Planner view, but you want to be able to click on tasks, edit notes, due dates, etc., just like on all the other task screens.

Title: Cute
Date: Jun 22, 2011
Got this for my niece's birthday party she is a laby bug fan. She is a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers girl so this works for her. The only thing is that it runs a little wider and short in length then what it looks like in the picture. Its not as long as my niece's other shirts even though I got it the same size.

Title: Worth it, but only 2 sizes bigger...
Date: Jan 11, 2010
The Ladybugs t-shirt is nice and the printing doesn't look cheap, but unfortunately the sizing is all wrong. I read the previous reviews about the shirt size being too small so I ordered my 11 month old (who can still wear 9mos) the 3T. I thought that if it was big on her that at least she could grow into it, but the 3T is so small that after I wash it it'll fit her fine. She'll get about 3, maybe 4, months use out of it. I still recommend it because it is for such a special birthday.

The beauty of a sports bar — besides the awesome hot wings on the menu—is the luxury of being able to watch several games simultaneously. And let's face it, picture-in-picture on your own set at home doesn't cut it when you're a hard-core fantasy football fan.
To recreate the impact and viewing enjoyment of a commercial sports bar, the owner of this renovated game room choose to have three 70-inch Sharp (LC70LE732) mounted on the front wall of his 23-by-20-foot room. "One large 130-inch TV was another option," says David Huse of Theater Advice, Frisco, Texas, the firm hired to handle the design and installation of the electronic gear, "but the three TVs seemed more authentic."
Each TV rang up at $3,000, which helped keep the budget in line, too. "TVs of this size are usually much more then $3K, closer to $8,000 each" says Huse. While the budget-friendly TVs have "great brightness and movement control," says Huse, they lack ISF calibration modes and deep levels of color correction.
Selecting an affordable, good-performing 70-inch flat-panel TV was the easy part; mounting them was another story. Any wall that stretches 23 feet is never going to be completely flat, says Huse. "This one buckled so much it looked like a giant wave pool." To get the TVs to lay flush with the wavy surface, Huse carefully shimmed each one by using pieces of rolled cardboard. Behind each Huse attached a Control4 HC-200 Room Controller. This component allows each A/V source (see equipment list below) to be wired via Category 5 cabling directly to each TV. "This is a much less expensive way to allow each TV to display something different than using a matrix switcher," says Huse. "The owner probably saved $8,000 by using the Room Controllers instead of a matrix switch."
The Room Controllers are also able to receive signals from a Control4 HC-300 processor, which is critical to the whole operation of the theater. The HC-300, whose software was configured and programmed by Huse, allows the homeowner to touch one button labeled ESPN on his iPad (loaded with a Control4 app) to turn each of the three TVs to a different, preset ESPN channel. Engaging either the Satellite button or the DVD button activates the center TV only. The TV on the right is dedicated to the Xbox video game console. Wireless Sennheiser headphones let the kids hear their game without bothering dad.
Other equipment, which is tucked in a hand-built, pullout rack at the bar, includes an Onkyo 809 A/V receiver, Xbox, Sony Blu-ray player, and three DirecTV satellite boxes. Including the equipment, materials, construction and labor, the job came in at $56,000. Approximately $17,000 of the project went toward the construction of the bar, also handled by Huse, which features a refrigerator, Kegerator, microwave oven, ice maker and trash bin. The color scheme, flooring and finishing touches like the antique mirror at the bar were part of Theater Advice's handiwork as well.

This one's a totally solid mix of soulful jazz, jazzy soul and righteous funk – and it's straight up wonderful all the way through – with a groove that's hugely influential to say the least! Includes the amazing track "We Live In Brooklyn Baby", which has a slow sample bassline in the intro that's just incredible – plus groovy cuts like the spiritual funk classic "He's a Superstar", "He's Coming", and "Sweet Tears". The lineup includes Sonny Fortune on soprano sax and flute and Billy Cobham drums and percussion, and the record's co-arranged by Harry Whitaker, who's also on keys and vocals – with other tracks include "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Ain't Got Time", "I Don't Know How To Love Him", "Sweet Butterfly Of Love" and "Fire Weaver". Amazing stuff, really a beautiful encapsulation of Roy Ayers in peak form! © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Before I even start, rise your hands those who have seen Titanic as children/teenagers? Now, rise your hands those who cried at it? Those who had a Leonardo Dicaprio poster on the wall? I guess this one is just me, but apart from that, we all share this sentimental feeling towards Titanic, and 3D won't ever change it.
I have already wrote about Titanic 3D in January when I attended a Q&A with the producer, John Landau. Although I liked the way he discussed the movie and even after seeing a few converted clips, I still wasn't persuaded to this visible, yet hardly major change. But then, a couple of months later, I was invited to the screening of Titanic 3D. This time without the official introduction, without any help to understand the reason behind it and without the typical vibe. Nobody has yet review it and nobody had any opinion. It was served to us like it was served the first time- raw and open to all sort of critique. But this time it was served on the plate of sentiments.
The question this time wasn't 'if cry', but rather 'WHEN to cry'. The second it starts, Titanic 3D is just an exquisite sentimental journey. And it's not the journey that we remember we loved. It is the journey we want to take again, that we re-discover and that we re-love. The tears of nostalgia mixed with completely new tears of amazement makes you realise that Titanic 3D is simply universal and it will never grow old.
When it was announced that no special effects have been touched while converting Titanic into 3D, I was more than surprised. It came out in 1997 and from my experience, films, especially the ones filled with dollars, tend to look silly after some time. If they are lucky enough though, they just look old, and we look at them just like we look at the old photographs of ourselves- we like the memory more than anything else. But something magical happened to Titanic. It didn't age. Just like Rose's memories, it remained vivid and full of flavour. It's alive!
I won't be writing about the story in Titanic, because those who have seen it, know it very well, and those who haven't will have chance to go to the cinemas now. The only thing I want to say is that yes! Titanic is amazingly cheesy, the background characters are stereotypical and bland and the world in the film is divided into black and white. Rose's fiance is probably one of the most evil villains in the history of cinema and I was just looking at his actions in awe. How much evilness can there be in one human being? How about making him a Batman villain? I'm not joking, this guy is so bad, he almost sacrifices his own life in order to destroy the relationship between Rose and Jack, but when his evil plan fails, he kidnaps a random child in order to have a priority in life boats. As for Jack and Rose, it is indeed an unimaginably romantic love, but a believable one. With the help of cheesy atmosphere and Celine Dion, the lovemaking in a car definitely becomes one of the most erotic scenes of the cinema and this:
this makes you put Leonardo Dicaprio's poster on the wall.
And what about the 3D? I must say, I'm not a fan of 3D, but in Titanic it just works. I agree with John Landau, that this film was simply perfect to be converted into this new technique and it looks just breathtaking when being watched with the embarrassing 3D glasses on.The picture is clear and vivid, the sound is simply stunning; and because, like in Avatar, the 3D effects are mainly in the background and they are not pushy like normally in movies, and also because Titanic has proven to be a strong movie without it, the conversion made the film an experience.
Titanic is simply outstanding and the moment I left the cinema, I could not stop talking about it. Say whatever you want, but to me it is one of the most amazingly crafted blockbuster of all times. It has its flaws, but it never aimed to be an ambitious film. It aimed to be an unforgettable experience and it is indeed. Mr. Cameron, you are a magician.

Bubbling crock pots, hot toddies and close friends warm the belly and soul while the rain falls and the nights are long. Light summer reads are traded for old classics and poetry, mellow music, and firelight. And so begins the season of deep thought and drinking to lull us through the holiday marathon ahead. (more…)

Wraps snugly around your feet
Super-supple, flexible, glossy
Feet dreams are made of these
Swirling, shimmery metallic
One part sleek, one part 'great basic'
Cute, classic (and unbelievably comfy)
Inject just the right amount of 'edge'
Wade-in-the-water-wearable sandals
Fearless and fashionable
Fine and flattering on summertime feet
Excellent under - and over-foot
So comfortable
I bought these to replace my beloved Fitflop sneakers which I've worn down to practically nothing and I was really impressed. I do have other Fitflops; boots, sandals and clogs so I am a bit of a fan! I don't have overly wide feet and I can wear socks with these in comfort - no pinching anywhere. They are also elegant enough to wear with a skirt and thick tights. They didn't need any breaking in and I've worn them everyday for about 2 weeks now. I also have the 'old' style black mukluks and am dreaming of a chestnut pair for Christmas...
Stunningly comfortable
Normally I have to 'wear in' shoes but from the moment I put these on I knew they were a perfect fit and dead comfy. They are supportive, distribute the weight across my foot as I walk, and the leather is firm. On top of which they look really smart as the patent toe cap gives a nice touch. I am tempted to buy another pair!
Amazingly comfortable
Really comfortable, ideal for long shifts. Wide, plenty of room for toes. Only flaw is the laces are really slippy so come undone, but a double knot or new laces fixes that. Totally worth it.
Shoes in the more formal FF2 collection feature our Biomimetix™ midsole. Inspired by our Non-Stop Ergonomix™ philosophy, they are biomechanically optimised to deliver unparalleled comfort and pressure diffusion.

"There are so many Divas who have come and gone who have left their mark in WWE: Ivory, Jazz, Lita, etc. … Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man," so if I had to choose one, it'd be the Diva who most people would consider the greatest Diva of all time, Trish Stratus. The only reason I'd choose her is because I know in my heart that I can put her down."
"I'm just grateful for the moments I got to spend with her. Both Moolah and Mae were an important part of my life in WWE, especially in my first couple years in the company as they were my biggest cheerleaders. They were always encouraging me and telling me they liked how I didn't 'wrestle like a girl'. She was an inspiration to me and so many of the girls in the locker room. I used to tell her 'Mae, I want to be just like you when I grow up'. I'm going to miss her a lot."
Trish Stratus has signed a new deal with the Treadmill Factory, where the former WWE diva will see many of her fitness and yoga products being placed in a couple of their stores across Canada and on their official website.
Trish Stratus has enlisted the help of former WWE riva, Lita, to help promote her online store during Black Friday.

Hey there! Thanks for the enthusiasm, guys . Very cool. The more you can spread the word, the better!
Currently, I am actually looking for some help with animation. If you all know anyone who can help with some quirky/fun animation for a series of promo videos we will be doing in the coming weeks, I would love to connect with them.

Love the idea and can't wait to see this in the works.
Oh dear, Louney's doing movies now? this should be interesting!

"Damnit!" - Jack Bauer, 24
If his being the narrator I am gonna love, somehow he just drags you into it...
This is going to be an extremely interesting documentary, especially for the general public. There's a lot of stereotypes surrounding gamers in general and online internet gaming communities specifically. Most people simply don't understand how you can have such a close relationship with someone you've never met in person. It's a remarkable thing.
Something I desperately hope the documentary touches on, however, is the de-humanizing effect video games and online games have on people. I think it's pretty safe to say that we've all seen people say things in trade chat in this virtual game that they'd never say to someone else in person. The failure to recognize someone as a thinking, feeling person is a very real problem and one that video games unfortunately contribute to.
The reason I bring this up is because several months ago in Richmond, CA a fifteen year old girl was assaulted and gang-raped by other teenagers for nearly five hours while a group of onlookers stood by and recorded it on their phones. This is a symptom of a huge problem in our culture of sex, violence, internet, and video games. Grand Theft Auto, anyone?
There are dozens of contributing factors, including horrible parenting, the failure of public schools, violence at home, abuse, drugs, violent and sexual movies and music, the ready availability of porn (If an adolescent knows how to use a search engine, they can find a porn site), and the de-humanization of the internet. Clearly no one should single out video games as the sole cause of horrible crimes like what happened in Richmond, but the gamer community *needs* to have an ongoing conversation with the general public, especially parents, about the affect games have on people. Even the issue of spending too much time with games, regardless of their content, needs to be discussed.
Most importantly, we as gamers need to be honest with ourselves and with everyone else about what goes on online. Some wonderfully amazing events are shared, and wonderful, life-long friendships and relationships are formed every day in a place like WoW. But there's also the reality that people can be and are horrible to each other, take advantage of each other, and abuse each other every day. You might say that it's just like real life, only it isn't. The difference between trade chat and real life is the protection that internet annonymity gives, which enables people to say horrible things.
The argument could be made that if you don't like what you see in trade chat, turn it off. That's fine, except that doesn't turn off the effect of what's already been seen. More importantly, we have to accept the logic that if we can be so influenced by internet interactions so as to create friendships (and in some cases romantic relationships that have lead to marriage IRL), then we can also be negatively influenced by the horrible things people say online.
I'm glad the documentary introduction mentioned internet addiction. I sincerely hope that de-humanization is also included. The part that online video games have been playing in the decline of American culture is too big to not have a conversation about it.
Tankspot has been a very awesome resource for world of warcraft content information over the past few years for myself and many other users. However, I have never felt compelled to post a comment until now.
This project sound pretty exciting. There has always been more to this thing of ours then just clicking buttons in an effort to rip down AI. I hope the team over at Kickstarter can pull this off and do justice to the community and team aspect of Raiding.
I thoroughly endorse this endevor and will without a doubt be supporting the project.
Break a thumb gentlemen.
This sounds like an awesomely amazing idea!
I do have a question, though.
The donor status you get from backing with $50 or more, is it a timed "subscription" like from tankspot.com?
I ask because I am planning on getting the 1 year to tankspot.com but might be able to swing the $50 backing on the film and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
(If this posts twice I'm sorry. -.- )
Hello Abernatheeee!
The answer to your question is, "Yes." It is a timed "subscription" for one year of donor status on tankspot.com.
Thanks for your interest in the film!
The Raid - A feature length documentary following the lives of a group of virtual raiders.
Wow, this looks completely awesome!
I shall spread the word to everyone I know on my server for sure, this is something I don't want to miss for the world.
And according to the short prewiev clips, It gives you a real epic feeling about the raids and almost in a grade where It's more epic than participating in one (Well downing a boss after several tries is the best feeling period, ofc.)
Even though I think the atmosphere in the small clips is just totally amazing and I can't wait to see more in the upcoming project!
| "Like bringing a knife, into a gunfight" |
..Satyra, for president.
So a bunch of people who raid, think the reason more people play WoW than anything else is because of raiding.
Do a bunch of people who eat spaghetti think more people eat Italian food than Greek food are because of spaghetti? (I don't know if that's true, I'm just making up an analogy).
What about the people who don't raid? Or am I the only one? What about the people that play the game for the lore (all the lore, not just the raid lore)? What about the people that just like to get on and hit instances, or level alts, or chat with friends? Do they not count?
And I'm sorry, but $50 in this economy? Sure, why not. I'm sure there are lots of people who don't need to heat their houses this month.
Not to rain on the parade, but I don't see the point of this. A bunch of people who like to raid, showing how much they like to raid? If they didn't like to raid, why do it? And I don't know who the audience for this will really be - the people who aren't playing the game won't care, the people that are playing the game and not raiding might, but aren't guaranteed, and the people who are raiding? Why would they watch a movie about raiding, when they could just log on and raid themselves (as several people said about the "Doom" movie a few years back, where there was a section that showed part of the movie from the perspective of the player. As people said - if they wanted to watch someone play the game, they'd just stay home and play the game.).
I guess I'd just rather be playing the game, than watch someone talk about playing the game. And yes, that may be your lamp, but if you're in essence looking for backers for a film project, it really has no business being in a professional presentation.
Well it was interesting enough for you to write a half page of text about it...
No but to be serious, I dont see the difference between doing a movie about this than doing a movie about any other type of hobby, for example football.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Presumed Power
Growing gas storage depends on fair regulatory treatment.
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) permits FERC to authorize storage and storage-related services at market-based rates "notwithstanding the fact that the company is unable to demonstrate that [it] lacks market power." 7 EPAct 2005 thus amended NGA §4, adding a new subsection (f). NGA §4(f) applies to specific new storage facilities, providing capacity and associated services, placed in service after Aug. 8, 2005, such as new storage caverns, reservoirs, or aquifers, or new facilities expanding or enhancing existing facilities. The new subsection further requires that: 1) market-based rates must be in the public interest and necessary to encourage storage capacity construction in the geographic area needing storage services; 2) customers must be protected adequately with reasonable terms and conditions in interstate tariffs or intrastate statements of operating conditions to protect consumers; and 3) FERC shall review the lawfulness of NGA §4(f) market-based rates periodically.
To implement NGA §4(f), FERC issued a final rulemaking order and adopted regulations in 2006 [NGA §4(f) final rule]. Asserting that it can't rely on competition to ensure lawful rates under Congress's additional approach, FERC recast Congress's statutory description of an applicant as unable to demonstrate that it lacks market power, into an agency regulation declaring that an applicant "will be presumed by the Commission to have market power." 8
Congress could have written a market-power presumption into law, but it didn't. Instead, Congress described NGA §4(f) applicants more inclusively as unable to demonstrate that they lacked market power. That was not a market-power presumption by another name. Potential storage providers may consider the distinction to be more than a quibble.
To regulate market power by some or even most NGA §4(f) applicants, Congress substituted FERC's public interest determinations, determinations of need to encourage storage capacity, and determinations of customer protections, for the lack-of-market-power studies filed under FERC's traditional approach. An additional regulatory presumption of applicant market power therefore is unnecessary to ensure lawful rates, because Congress concluded that the important NGA §4(f) FERC determinations were sufficient whether or not market power is present.
Despite FERC's disclaimer that its presumption isn't a generic finding that would apply in other situations, 9 there's some reason for the industry's underwhelming use of the NGA §4(f) final rule. The agency's market-power presumption may be inhibiting storage providers from using Congress's additional approach to an unanticipated degree. If that hypothesis is right, FERC could consider relaxing the inhibition by removing the presumption, and conforming its regulations more exactly to Congress's statutory description of an applicant's inability to demonstrate lack of market power.
Public Interest Determinations
To ensure lawful rates, FERC navigates between encouraging storage infrastructure and protecting competition. In its first four precedents under Congress's additional approach, FERC generally determines whether: 1) a need to serve the public interest with new storage facility construction is shown in an auction for storage capacity; and 2) a fair and transparent auction protects customers by preventing capacity withholding, with a reserve price set only high enough to allow the applicant to recover its investment. 10 If those answers are "yes," FERC may authorize

there is only the SBV enchant at 450.
I can't seem to find any plans for Blacksmithing above lvl 440. Is this correct? Or is there some magical drops in any of the raids I have not yet visited?
there is only the SBV enchant at 450.
There is one plan that requires 450 that I know of, that being Titanium Plating for shields obtained from exalted reputation with the Alliance Vanguard/Horde Expedition. Here's the Wowhead link Plans: Titanium Plating - Item - World of Warcraft.
Why use big words when a diminutive alternative will suffice?
Calling it now.... 3.1 will bring 450 crafting recipes for many professions including BOP or Crafter only ones
I'd like to see BoP recipes from Ulduar that will craft into BoE items, that would bring me cartloads of money.
Crommi | Archaic Order | Lightning's Blade EU
I'd like to see a reason for taking blacksmithing. Remember that pattern for tanking boots that dropped off of Lurker? definetly need to start rewarding warrior blacksmiths with stuff like that again.
Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
Extra slots to bracers and gloves are pretty hot. I'm hoping they add in some of those BoE/BoP patterns in future instances; I really liked them. The neat thing is that they can actually make the BoP recipies best in slot, because they're still raid loot, and not craftable by anyone.
Yeah, aside from the new SBV to shield (which I didn't realise was 450 until now) it tops out at 440. I hope they add awesome new epic stuff in 3.1 or Ulduar (are they the same thing?). I'd really like to be able to get something out of my blacksmithing other than a few sockets (which are lovely and all, don't get me wrong).
It would be nice if they BS daily's like with JC and cooking. Iif they were to make the sockets available to everyone that would be nice too. I dont know about everyone else's servers but on Earthen Ring there are some BoE Epic plans for lvl 50-60ish things going for 600-800g still.
You mean the free 200-400g JCs get delivered every day? Yeah... that WOULD be nice.
I thought about dropping mining to take JC, but the loss of Toughness (50 stamina from being a miner) is an issue. I couldn't make that up without equipping stamina Dragon's Eyes in three slots, which is only possible at about 350.
Mindreading the devs here, so I may be entirely wrong.
The idea is that the best (currently ilvl213/226) gear comes from the highest level raid, and high-rated arena gear. It should not be possible to craft gear of this level.
Right now, that means the highest goodies are from the heroic raids and Season 5 gear. When Ulduar comes out and Season 6 gear is introduced, both with better gear, then plans for ilevel-213 gear will be start dropping. These will need 450 skill.

Post subject: Gurps vs d20...which?
What is the better system for playing the SF universe?
It has been about 20 years since I played a GURPS game so my memory of the system is pretty much buried under 2 decades of other gaming information. Of course who hasn't played tons of d20 based games?
Which one is better? Which is the most complete at the moment? Does the d20 modern require the modern core book? Is it not OOP and kinda hard to find?
So far it seems that GURPS is shaping up to be the most well rounded what with a third sourcebook soon available. I like an RPG with ALOT of source material. However d20 has the added pro of being well known but if material is hard to get or not forthcoming in the remainder of my lifetime whats the point?
Whats the current players opinion on the pros and cons between the 2 systems?
Anybosy have any idea on what types of material we might see over the course of the next year......if any?

It's a coin toss. GURPS may be a little better for scifi, but then, d20 and especially d20 Modern can do it easily enough. Most d20 stuff is fantasy and of little real use but then a lot of GURPS is also fantasy. Both systems have tons of scific books you can use as resources for strange new worlds.

So is the d20 core stuff include basic rules? The d20 modern stuff is OOP and seems a little hard to find short of ebay. Maybe the GURPS would be a better route to go? Looks like it will soon sport the most sourcebooks when the fed book is released.

Cat person or Dog Person? Level Based System or Point Based System is the only question you really need to ask. Yes D20 and D20M stuff is Out of Print (Thank you Wizards) is it hard to find not really (Check Amazon.com they have books right now), besides one of the Download Sites (RPG Now I think but not positive.) has a D20M Download bundle that covers everything not in PD20M Core Book. You will need Scoutdad to give you a actual run down of what is missing in the PD20M book.
Edit: I knew I saw this someplace...

Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
While the GURPS version of PR does have everything you need to play... the d20/d20M license does not allow for the inclusion of several of the rules needed for playing. This makesthe D20M core rulebook (which is sadly, oop) a necessasy evil...

Do you need the oop D20M book for PD20M?
Fortunately the answer is no. You can pick up RPGObjects Modern d20 Core Kit for free at
. It has everything you need to run the game when combined with the PD20 Modern book.
Myself personally I would rather run a D6 System nothing is easier to teach people how to play a role play game than handing them a Template and say insert 7 +1s where you would like to be better and start playing. But until a PD6 system is moved up in the line I use Gurps. Like SVC said there are tons of reference material out there to support any system. I personally like SJGames support and playing aids you can buy as well as their Source Books that are already the same system (Space, Traveller, High Tech, Ultra Tech etc.) not to mention SJG handy Gurps Character Assistant program and 4th edition Combat Cards. One last caveat Gurps Prime Directive includes the Gurps Lite Rule Set which is enough rules to Generate Characters and play but if you want a super detailed experience you should purchase the the Gurps Basic Set: Character and Campaigns but I have been doing just fine with out them for almost a year now.

Anybosy have any idea on what types of material we might see over the course of the next year......if any?
I belive PD Tholians is up next which would be a Source Book for Tholians and Seltorians but, Jean might suprise us all and push PD Orion Pirates. Either of which would still build on the Races actually Seen in TOS.

Dal found the
I would have posted:
The D20M core book is OOP, but RPgnow does have it (well, not really the D20M rulebook, but enough of it to play) as a free to download PDF. Everyone in our group has downloaded it and we find it works quite well.
As for which is best: D20M / Gurps?
Apples... Oranges,
Cat person... Dog person (I like this analogy),
Points based... level based...
We (as a group are more familar with the level based system (ala' D20), so we chose D20M.
On a side note, ADB as decided that D20 Modern will be the D20 system of prefernce and that all future releases will be for D20M rather than D20.
I know people who prefer points based systems, so they wopuld most likely choose GURPS.
I would like to state that D20M handles Sci-Fi gaming most better than plain old D20 (fantasy based) does, although it's still a bit wonky in some instances. But nothing that can't be overcome with old-fashioned ingenuity and imagination.
Both systems work well across multiple genres, meanig that if you want to explore a medival aged, bronze-aged, nuclear-aged, or even futuristic fusion-tech world - you can. It may be easier to use sourcebooks from a third party vendor covering those specific genres, but a good GM could handle it with just the material on hand.
As for what's included;
The GURPs version includes everytihng needed to start playing the game in the core rulebook.
The D20 open license however; will not allow ADB to include character generation rules in the core rulebook; hence the need for the D20M core book or the modern D20 Core Download Kit.
As for avaialble source books and references available:
GURPS has the core book, Klingons and Romulans currently available; and GURPS: Federation is expected to be completed over Jean's Christmas pilgrimage to Amarillo.
D20M has the core rulebook, Klingons and the Federation sourcebook currently available; and D20M Romulans is being converted and updated now.
The next scheduled release is Prime Directive Tholians. Loren Knight is hard at work on this product and we should see it soon. If it follows the typical schedule, the D20M version will be released first as it only requires ADBs approval. The GURPS version will follow soon after that as it requires the approval of ADB, followed by the approval of Steve Jackson Games.

My opinion: Both are very good, very very good based on how the game systems evolved over the years. So you can't go "wrong" with either.
Each has it's strong points, but it's my opinion that GURPS works much better for Sci-Fi type of games, such as PD, vs. D20M.
That said, most gaming groups I've dealt with over the past 20 years have been very solidly in the "D20" camp of things. However, when I run PD, I "force" GURPS because I think the mechanics of how the GURPS system runs feels more "Trek" to me.

My next goal is to get PD20M Romulans out so there will be a complete set.
I'd like to get a new system book out next -- I am hearing a lot of call for Mongoose Traveler.
But a lot depends on my outside writers.

I have been wanting to pick up Prime Directive, but was unsure what version to get as well. I am more familiar with d20 type games and was planning on picking up PD20 Modern.
Now that I understand the d20 Modern core book is out of print, it seems to me GURPS might be the best way to go. Just not sure I want to learn another system.
EDIT: I seldom post without an edit.

While it's true that the D20M Core Ruelbook is OOP, you can download the

for free at

Being a GURPS head I say go with GURPS. Yes, my bias is showing. The core book is all you need to run PD under GURPS.
However, GURPS combat turn, 1 second, requiring to be more hands on with your character.

I have played a lot of different gaming systems. I think GURPS captures the feel of the Star Fleet Universe better. Plus, GURPS has the best collection of other books, all compatible. UltraTech is a good companion book to get.
d20 and d20M are cool, but a bit cinematic. GURPS tends to be more realistic. And quite a but deadlier, making players look for other options before pulling out phasers.
You may have heard about the complexity of GURPS, but if you use only the basic combat system (the version included in GURPS Prime Directive) it can be a quick system. When you get the GURPS core books and use the Advanced Combat System, it really slows combat down.
Character Creation is a bit involved (no where near Hero System), and SJ Games sells a downloadable character utility, and there are files available online that loads in all the new skills, advatages, racial packages and gear for use with it.

By the way, Steve Jackson says he's halfway through reading GURPS FEDS with nothing found that would delay publication. I have no idea when he'll finish it. (If he had nothing else to do, tomorrow, but I'm sure he's as busy as I am.) Remember that once approval is given, it's at least 90 days to publication (although perhaps 30 or 60 days to e23). Assuming approval on March 1st, that would mean release in June.

The package brings together some real gems from labels that have barely, if ever, been reissued in the past – Sport, Big Hit, and Northern – and features tunes that run in vintage from the late 60s through the mid 70s. There's a really fierce funky 45 sort of feel going on here – with lots of deep deep bass on the best cuts, plenty of snapping drums, and vocals that have lots of raw and rough southern-styled touches! The set's got 14 tracks ina ll – with titles that include "Party On 4th Street" and "Mama Didn't Lie" by Black Nasty, "Going To Get It" by Calvin Williams, "Don't Leave Me To Be Lonely" by The Dramatics, "Funky Soul" by Dynamic Walton Brothers, "You Better Get Yourself Together" by Timmy Shaw & Chuck Holiday, "Keep On Stepping" by Black Nasty, "Bit Off More" by Lynn Day, and "Uncle Tom" by Herbie Thompson. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Obama thanks Clinton on '60 Minutes'
- Written by CNN
- Published in News
President Barack Obama said Hillary Clinton will go down "as one of the finest secretaries of state" as he sat next to her in their first joint interview Sunday night on CBS's "60 Minutes."
"The main thing is I just wanted to have a chance to publicly say 'thank you,'" he said when asked why he wanted to do the interview with his former political foe.
"It has been a great collaboration over the last four years," he continued. "I'm going to miss her, wish she was sticking around, but she has logged in so many miles I can't begrudge her wanting to take it easy for a little bit."
Nearly 1 million miles and 112 countries, in fact, she said Wednesday when she appeared before congressional committees to testify about last year's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Now, Clinton is set to depart the world stage – at least for now, as she has been floated as a presidential contender in 2016. She appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week in support of Sen. John Kerry, the man Obama tapped to replace her.
While Clinton has talked about the wear and tear of the job and recently had a health scare, she said in the "60 Minutes" interview that she found working with Obama and serving as her nation's top diplomat extremely satisfying.
"This has been just an extraordinary opportunity to work with him as a partner and friend and to do our very best," she said. "It's something that I'm going to miss a great deal."
While Clinton and Obama competed bitterly in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, the two have been highly complimentary of each other during the president's first term. In the interview that aired Sunday, Clinton said such a public sit-down would have been "improbable" a few years ago because "we had that very long, hard primary campaign."
"But, you know, I've gone around the world on behalf of the president and our country, and one of the things that I say to people – because I think it helps them understand – I say, look, in politics and in democracy, sometimes you win elections and sometimes you lose elections. And I worked very hard, but I lost. And then President Obama asked me to be secretary of state, and I said yes. And why did he ask me, and why did I say yes? Because we both love our country."
Not only has Hillary Clinton played a big role in Obama's first four years of office, but her husband and former President Bill Clinton also was a crucial part of Obama's re-election bid last year. The 42nd president appeared on the stump for Obama in key swing states and had a prime-time speaking spot at the Democratic National Convention.
While admitting that their respective staffs may have had a difficult time getting over rancor from the 2008 primary, Obama said that it was not as hard for him.
The president said that even before they both ran for president, he had admired Clinton's "discipline, her thoughtfulness, her ability to project and make issues that were clear." Those attributes, as well as her standing as "already a world figure," made her a smart choice for secretary of state – even if she didn't initially jump at the opportunity.
"We're both gluttons for punishment," she said jokingly of her decision to take the job despite numerous global challenges and the president having his hands full dealing with an economic crisis at home.
Obama said he had always respected Clinton and knew she would excel, but what changed over the years is that they became "strong" friends.
It was a sentiment echoed by Clinton, who described her relationship with her boss as "very warm, close."
"I think there's a sense of understanding that sometimes doesn't even take words," she said.
As a former popular first lady, U.S. senator and now secretary of state, experts say Clinton is well-positioned to be the Democratic frontrunner if she seeks a White House bid in 2016. But presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said much of her decision will largely depend on her health.
"She needs rest. She's exhausted," he said Sunday on CNN's "Newsroom". Clinton returned to work earlier this month after being treated for illness, a concussion and blood clot near her brain. "She needs to work on a memoir, she'll probably give speeches. At that point, in about 18 months or two years, they have a big decision to make."
Brinkley described her as "somebody who does not lack ambition" and will be highly influenced by the "ability to break the glass ceiling and be the first female president."
"The question is whether she's up for the exhaustion of going to the Iowa caucus, in New Hampshire, in South Carolina and having (Monica) Lewinsky and other issues from the '90s come back and haunt her in some ways," Brinkley said. "Does she have that fight in her?"

A physician assistant (PA) is a highly trained health care professional who cares for patients under the supervision of a physician. PAs work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, physician offices, correctional institutions, military installations, health care educational and administrative offices, industrial medicine clinics, and surgical suites. PAs document their care through the medical record, provide patient counseling and education, and may be involved in administrative or managerial roles. As an integral part of the health care team, the PA provides patients with comprehensive and personalized health care.
The duties of physician assistants are determined by the supervising physician and by State law. In New York State, registered physician assistants are qualified to take medical histories, conduct physical examinations, order and interpret diagnostic tests, diagnose illnesses, develop treatment plans for their patients, prescribe medications, and perform invasive medical interventions such as surgical assisting, setting fractures, and suturing lacerations. It is estimated that physician assistants are qualified to perform 80% of the procedures performed by physicians. The supervising physician may delegate to the PA any medical procedures and tasks that are routinely performed within the normal scope of the physician's practice.
The U.S. Department of Labor describes the nature of the physician assistant's work in general.
Dr. Eugene Stead and his colleagues used ex-military corpsmen in the early 1960s to help run specialty units at Duke. Because the nation was facing a severe shortage of primary health care providers, Dr. Stead developed a two-year curriculum to expand the prior education and experience of these corpsmen to become competent physician assistants. With the support of the Duke faculty and administration, he launched the first formal educational program for physician assistants at Duke University in 1965. For the next seven years, Duke University and later the University of Washington (Dr. Richard Smith's MEDEX program) became focal points for the development of the physician assistant profession.

The Physician Assistant Program of Le Moyne College was founded in 1996 in response to the health care needs of Central New York, including Syracuse and Onondaga County. It was established within the Department of Biology with Norb Henry, EdD, as the founding Director, and James Longo, MD, as the founding Medical Director. The program was initially granted provisional accreditation, and full accreditation in 1998. Continuing accreditation was granted for 2002-2006, 2006-2011, and for 2011-2018. The next ARC-PA review will occur in September 2018.
The PA program became the Department of Physician Assistant Studies in 2005. It received approval to grant a Master of Science degree to graduates, with the first full graduate class entering in fall 2005.
The first class entered in fall 1996 with 32 students. Since 1998, over 400 students have completed the Le Moyne College Physician Assistant Program and are employed throughout Central New York and across the United States.
