Irish Culture
Irish culture refers to the cultural rules and customs followed by the people of Ireland. The cultural differences exist in the country between rural Irish and urban Irish. The dissimilarity also visible between Catholic and Protestant residents of Northern Ireland between the people who speak Irish both inside and outside of the Gaeltacht regions and majority of the people who speak English, the difference is seen to be more between the native of Ireland and the immigrants and between the traveler inhabitants and the settled inhabitants throughout the Island nation.
In the year 1922, Ireland was divided into Irish Free State (Later it was known as the Republic of Ireland) and Northern Ireland. Until then it was part of the UK. Later, the Northern Ireland became a fraction of the renamed United Kingdom of Great Britain.
The separation between the two neighbors has resulted in cultural differences. However, the largest minority population in Northern Ireland consider themselves as Irish both nationally and ethnically.
The food habit of Irish people is similar as other Northern European countries. Major portion of their meals include meat, cereals, bread, and potatoes. Irish people usually take four meals i.e. breakfast, lunch, tea and supper.
The centerpieces of the Irish meals are
- Roasts
- Stews
- Lamb
- Beef
- Chicken
- Ham
- Pork
- Turkey
- Fish
- Seafood
With changing lifestyles and professions, the intake of frozen, ethnic, take-out, and processed foods have increased. However foods like wheaten breads, sausages, and bacon rashers and drinks like national beer, Guinness, and Irish whiskey still have importance in an Irish meal.
There is no official religion in Ireland. But the country has given special consideration to the Catholic Church. Irish people discourage loud, boisterous, and boastful behavior. Traditional holy wells are the main attraction for Irish people. They are associated with specific days, saints, rituals, and feasts. Internal pilgrimage to places like Knock and Croagh Patrick are considered two important aspects of religious belief, which integrates the formal and conventional religious practices. The customs followed by Irish people during funeral ceremonies are primarily linked to several Catholic Church religious traditions. The holy days mentioned in the Irish Catholic church are celebrated as national holidays.
The following are some of the events celebrated by Irish people with joy and gaiety.
- Cork Jazz Festival
- Bray Jazz Festival
- Dublin Theatre Festival
- Fleadh Cheoil
- Harvest Time Blues
- Heritage Week
- Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival
- City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival

Some people would prefer to have a good old 4 barrel carburetor instead of fuel injection. This Edlebrok LS1 4 barrel Intake allows you to do just that and includes the MSD box and harness to run the ignition system.
This powerful new manifold is designed for the popular Chevrolet LS1 (5.7L) small-block V8 originally used in 1997 and later Corvettes and 1998-02 Camaros and Firebirds. It also fits the Corvette LS6 engine and any other Gen III engine including the LM7 (5.3L), LR4 (4.8L), and LQ4 (6.0L). It allows the use of a carburetor on these originally computer-controlled engines, offering maximum power and a broad torque curve from 1500 to 6500 rpm. This manifold made 410 hp and 418 ft/lbs. of torque in dyno tests. The Performer RPM LS1 includes a wiring harness and unique electronic Timing Control Module made by MSD® which works with OE sensors to fire the coil-on-plug ignition system and offers a choice of six timing curves. A special throttle and trans bracket that works with 700R-4, 200R-4 and Turbo 350 transmissions is included, making the LS1 engine an easy retro-fit into any muscle car, street rod or marine application.

This is was such amazing night for me that I hate I have to address some small matters. OK, here we go. . .
I'm not quite sure what Simone and Jackie found so humorous about me pursing my financially sound business venture. As working women themselves, I was surprised to see that I was the butt of their jokes. However, I like proving people wrong and making them eat their words. However, I can't expect for them to see my vision. After all, it is my vision and not theirs. I was a bit disappointed because I've always supported anything they've been a part of and helped in any way I could. Picture Perfect Pup will be a success and my job will be to smile and wave at doubters and non-believers.
What more can I say about Toya and her home? Honestly I don't think I can say much more of anything, Heavenly seemed to say enough for everyone. Heavenly has constantly thrown shade at Toya for her recent housing situation. While a few of us ladies have called into question the financial aspects behind Toya's search for a home, Heavenly has continued to take dig after dig at her. I just wish Toya would get a defensive backbone with Heavenly, like she gets with Simone. Well, there's always next time.
Speaking of Simone, in order for her and I to move forward with our friendship I felt it necessary to have a conversation with her about her behavior at Lisa's fashion show. This whole idea that I've been holding her hostage is absolutely ridiculous. She continues to behave as if I told her she couldn't be friends with someone, and that is simply not true. While I don't care if she's friends with, I'm bothered by her need to lead a charge to exclude Huq one day, and campaign to include Huq the next. I just hope she can finally come to a decision and stick with it, because she is in grave danger of getting splinters from that fence she's riding. My advice to her is to remain both our friends independently and stop blaming me for the source of her being indecisive and messy.
I was done discussing Huq, but I feel that I owe it to myself to defend my character against her slanderous and hateful words she spoke of me. First and foremost, how dare she refer to me as a garden tool and a female dog. Not once have I called this women outside of her name, and yet she felt the need to try to degrade me. Well I can say she's been consistent. #ClassicMariah
When people are in the wrong and don't have the truth on their side, they result to childish name calling and lies. Behaving the way she does, how can she expect anyone to look to her to "lead" anything? Anyway, we are all grown women, so who asked her to lead anyone in the first place? If Huq truly looked around at her event, she would have noticed that there were several familiar faces missing. Heavenly was absolutely right to say Huq could use a bit of humility. A bit of humility and a little self-evaluation will do her good, and I hope she embraces both sooner rather than later before she is completely friendless.

Investors love to rip into the financial media, and with good reason. So much of what passes for "investor education" is little more than worthless forecasts and attempts to explain random noise ("Canadian markets down on disappointing Portuguese GDP report"). More insidious are the pundits who do little more than talk their own book.
There's a lot of this familiar criticism in Clash of the Financial Pundits, but what makes this new book so compelling is that the harshest words come from media commentators themselves. Authors Jeff Macke (formerly of CNBC's Fast Money) and Joshua Brown (a CNBC contributor who blogs at The Reformed Broker) have set out to help readers and viewers be smart consumers of financial media. What should you heed and what should you ignore? The highlights are the detailed interviews with TV pundits, serious journalists, celebrity money managers and the inimitable Jim Cramer.
One of the recurring themes in the book is the relentless pressure on the financial media to produce entertainment, even if it means giving investors terrible advice. The easiest way to ensure you'll never be invited back on CNBC is to admit you don't know where the market is headed,

Mary Bullock can speak now, even identify pictures on a page. Less than a year ago it was a very different story. She was a patient at Martha Jefferson suffering from a stroke and fighting for her life.
"I could hear them setting up the emergency room for my injury," said Mary Bullock, Stroke Survivor.
Martha Jefferson doctors preparing to give her a tPA injection. tPA stands for Tissue Plasminogen Activator. It is a drug that reverses a stroke, which is simply a blockage in the blood vessel that reduces blood flow to the brain.
"tPA targets the area of the blood clot and it is actually able to dissolve it, "said Dr. Alex Grunsfeld.
tPA only works if stroke patients get it quickly. In Bullock's case, she had her dose within a couple of hours of having her stroke.
"The shot saved my life," said Bullock.
"Very soon - by 24 hours - we saw significant improvement and now she can talk really well. She has occasional mild word finding difficulties when she gets tired, but overall her speech is back to normal. And that's a great success," said Grunsfeld.
For Bullock, getting her speech back was the number one priority, but she still had just one more small request.
"My main thing, I was wondering if I could play bridge again. My bridge game is excellent by the way," said Bullock.
An awesome bridge player and a stroke survivor. She credits her doctors and the tPA shot with helping her get back to normal.
On average Martha Jefferson Hospital uses the tPA treatment about twice a month.

Brenda & Matt
We Are Spreading The Word About ParentProfiles.com, Just Like Our Birthmother Is. Starting in early December, we have had on-going telephone discussions with an out-of-state birthmother that finally led to us adopting our daughter. Our birthmother initially called our social worker and we went from there. We were able to fly to the birthmothers state to be with her for the induction in mid December. We then spent the next two and a half weeks working out the legal more ...
Culture in the western world has changed, and with the social dynamic that governs what is acceptable and what is not. One of the changes is in the area of pregnancy. At one time anyone having babies after their teens would have been thought old. These days, teens are supposed to remain childless and are deemed by society to be unfit to raise a child.
Unfortunately, unlike times past, today's teens are usually pregnant by accident rather than by desire. This means that there is a big difference in how the pregnancy is accepted by the teen's family. Many parents will be dismayed at their child's "mistake" and often are unsure of how to handle the situation. Knowledge of their parents' beliefs leads teenage girls to hide their pregnant status as long as possible, fearing a negative reaction and a feeling of having "failed". This means that the teen herself may live in a state of denial where she is afraid to seek medical help during her early pregnancy. Unaware of the importance of prenatal procedures, she can put her baby at risk by not taking prenatal vitamins, or not stopping any intake of alcohol or cigarettes in her attempts to remain "normal" to everyone she is in contact with. In her efforts to hide her weight gain she is likely to reduce her own food intake, thus depriving her body sufficient nutrition to feed herself correctly, let alone her baby.
Once the pregnancy is out in the open, she is then forced not only to deal with her options, but also her future. Many teen girls still in high school are "encouraged" to drop out during the later stages of pregnancy because they may "influence" other girls to get into their position, or it sullies the reputation of the school. If they are in their final year or two this can mean that they never return, not wishing to be placed in a class with younger students now that their peers have moved on to college or employment. Without their high school diploma, employment options for more than minimum wage will be scarce, and so if they are raising the child themselves, they will be in an extremely low income bracket and needing the support of family and/or welfare. Getting out of this cycle isn't so easy. Stressing the importance of maintaining their education and getting their high school has to be one of the priorities of anyone responsible for a pregnant teen.
High schools must start to take a more pro-active part in educating the girls in their care. There is firstly the issue about educating them about sex and pregnancy prevention. It shouldn't stop there however. Girls also need to be educated about what happens if they do get pregnant. Even if they use protection, mistakes happen. They need to know what to do should this happen to them before it happens. They need to know what the process is, what they need to do to have a healthy pregnancy, who to talk to for confidential advice/intervention with parents should that be needed. They also need to know what their options are and the implications of each of these. Not just in the short-term, but also in the long-term because pregnancy may end with the birth of the baby, but if the teenager has chosen to keep her baby once it is born, she needs to know what to expect both as a mother, and as a woman raising a child alone.
Having a pregnant teen in the family can send the dynamics of a family into a crisis situation if emotions and beliefs are put before the well-being of the teen and the baby she carries. A teen who has a supportive network of family and educators around her will be able to access resources and information which will lead her to make the right choices for herself and the baby both during her pregnancy, and in her plans for their future.

Master Sommelier and "Somm" star returns to Sonoma State University
March 4, 2014 11:50 AM
Master Sommelier and "Somm" star returns to Sonoma State University
Rohnert Park, CA - Ian Cauble, Sonoma State alumnus and Master Sommelier, is returning to SSU for a special viewing of "Somm," a film documenting his journey to becoming the 197th Master Sommelier in history. The event is open to the public and takes place on March 28 at 6 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom.
The showing will begin with a food and wine pairing selected by Cauble and Eric Lee, Sonoma State's executive chef and Food Network star. Cauble will answer questions from the audience after the film.
"Somm" takes place in six countries over the span of two years and documents four sommeliers. It gives viewers an inside look at becoming a Master Sommelier, the highest distinction in fine wine and beverage service, as well as the incredibly extensive, four-level education and exam process. Cauble joins the ranks of 135 Master Sommeliers in North America and 214 worldwide.
Cauble has received multiple sommelier awards, including Best Young Sommelier in the World. He recently co-founded SommSelect, a direct-to-consumer website where wine enthusiasts receive special offers selected by Cauble, with a fellow SSU alumnus.
"I wouldn't be a Master Sommelier today if I hadn't attended Sonoma State," said Cauble. "The connections I made changed the trajectory of my life."
The special viewing of "Somm" will take place on Friday, March 28 at 6 p.m. in the SSU Student Center Ballroom. Tickets are $25 per person and include a wine and hor d'ouevres pairing selected by Master Sommelier Ian Cauble and Sonoma State Executive Chef Eric Lee. Seating is limited.

Orlando Jordan
Real Name
Orlando Jordan
Date of Birth
April 21, 1974
Place of Birth
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
One of the things that makes Chris Jericho a beloved wrestler is the fact that he grew up a fan like most of us did. Ultimate Warrior was one of his childhood heroes, so he posted this message on Twitter about his death. He also noted how Warrior's match against Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 was one of his all time favorites.
April 8, 2014
Since the two of them will be forever linked because of their historic match at Wrestlemania 6, there were talks of having Hulk Hogan doing the hall of fame induction for the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 30. However, WWE opted against that because the relationship between the two of them isn't exactly warm. Linda McMahon was chosen instead.
March 26, 2014
"It was a great opportunity working with you in Barcelona. Time did make a difference, Brian. Rest in peace. Condolences to Dana and her two daughters." - Orlando Jordan on the death of the Ultimate Warrior
April 25, 2014
A lot has changed since Orlando Jordan came out of the closet and revealed to the wrestling world that he was gay. The former WWE star shocked a lot of people when he announced that he was marrying a woman back in November. Now, Jordan has revealed that he is expecting a child soon.
April 17, 2014
Back in October, Orlando Jordan captured the headlines when he revealed on Twitter that he was getting married. Fans were shocked when it was discovered that the openly bisexual wrestler was tying the knot with a woman. Since then, he has kept relatively quiet on the social media site, only posting short messages on holidays.
March 5, 2014
Former WWE star Orlando Jordan has been running a wrestling school in Australia, where he personally trains some of the performers.
November 4, 2013
Orlando Jordan, who is openly gay, married a woman in Australia a couple of weeks ago.
November 3, 2013
Orlando Jordan was not happy with the direction that his character was taking, so he contacted TNA officials to ask if more could be done. Since the company did not have a plan that he liked, Jordan requested his release, and it was granted shortly thereafter.

Pathfinder | Planescape | Spelljammer | SuzerainNavigation
Hail Adventurers!
It's been a wild and wooley few weeks and it's kept me away from the blog. During GenCon I was busy shooting interviews with the Google Glass and catching up to people I never get to see otherwise. (More on that in a future post.) Then within 48 hours of getting home, right around the time I was finally successful in making the Post-Con Fort Save ™, I got an offer to be the new community manager for Savage Mojo. Of course I accepted. The quality of their works is obvious, and they've treated me very well as a designer working freelance.
Another big attraction was the meta-setting. Suzerain takes you into high level play that can hop genres, time periods, and alternate realities as desired. For a long time fan of Amber, The Eternal Champion, Dr. Who and other fiction of this type it made for a nice match. My ten years on Planewalker demonstrates how much I love multidimensional adventuring.
So here we are. It's a little over a week before I have to battle my 48th birthday and I've found a solid position in the game industry. One that should allow me to continue to freelance as well!
In a serendipitous turn of events it is also #SavageSeptember on DriveThruRPG, so I get to give you, my readers, a gift to celebrate.
From now until the weekend is over you can find some of our finest works, the ENnie award winning Shanghai Vampocalypse and Millenium Knight among them, on sale for a whopping 60% off! Savage Suzerain, the one book that ties everything together, is listed as Pay What You Want for the entire month as well.
In a nod towards both my Planescape roots and Spock with a beard we have also made our Quantum Sliders series of pan temporal, pan dimensional adventures available as a bundle. (Which is one of the 60% titles as well!)
Lastly I am proud to announce the release of Machine of the Lich Queen. Not only is is an old school, killer megadungeon but it also exists in its own demiplane! Even more fun, for me at least, is the fact that I did all the Pathfinder rules development for it. The first book I've done solo, as opposed to being part of a team.
Swing on by and take advantage of the savage discounts while they last! I'm really proud of my new gig and even if you're not a Savage Worlds player there is a ton of stuff that be inspirational or can be adapted to another system. The framing fiction and the visual art alone on these volumes makes it worth it.
Don't take my word for it, go see for yourselves!

Part One: Land of the Lost Planar TraitsRead More
A few weeks ago an old gaming buddy of mine died after protracted terminal illness. Jason Deas was incredibly smart and subversively funny guy who had a love of all things nerdy. This is the first of a series of conversions I'm doing as a memorial to him. Since we both had a love of Land of the Lost, both for the horrible stop motion dinosaurs and for the amazingly sophisticated themes, I will be presenting my Pathfinder version of the Land. This one's for you. And yes, you can use your Gilbert Godfried voice when playing your sleestak…
Part I: Land of the Lost – A Demiplane
The Land of the Lost is a very small, closed pocket universe that consists of a valley surrounded by mountains. A traveler attempting to pass over the mountains will find himself reentering the valley from the other side.There is one major river flowing through the Land, forming a similarly closed loop; it flows into a cave at one end of the valley and comes back out again in a waterfall at the other end.
The climate of the Land is tropical, and the valley is filled almost entirely with dense jungle. Other major landmarks include a tar pit, a misty swamp filled with dead trees that appears to be locked in darkness even during the day, some high bluffs containing natural caves, and a narrow canyon or chasm that extends into the mountains. The Land lacks a nickel-iron core (or at least a magnetic field), rendering compasses useless.
The Land appears to have three moons. The smallest is also the fastest, moving visibly through the sky. Considering the unusual cosmography of the universe in which the Land is located, however, it is possible that the "moons" are artificial or otherwise illusory.
Manipulation of a Pylon's crystal matrix table caused the motion of the sun and moons to halt, suggesting that the entire sky may be an illusion. Conjunctions of the moons appear to trigger the activities of some Pylons, including the elevator Pylon and the possession Pylon.
The 2009 movie incarnation of the Land resembles that of the original series, but is actually a dimension where timelines converge. Outside an area of dense jungle is a vast desert where various things, ranging from ice cream trucks and limousines to ferris wheels and oil rigs, crash-land upon arrival and attract the attention of hungry dinosaurs within minutes.
Next up: The Sleestak!
No challenge is intended to the owners of the Land of the Lost copyright. This is a fan tribute created out of love for the original and for a friend.Read More
Rogue Modron
Planescape Race
Outsider (lawful, half-construct) (10 RP)
A native outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the matter) of some plane other than the Material Plane. A half-construct race is a group of creatures that are artificially enhanced or have parts replaced by constructed mechanisms, be they magical or mechanical.
Modrons have the following features:
Medium (0 RP)
Medium races have no bonuses or penalties due to their size. A Medium creature has a space of 5 feet by 5 feet and a reach of 5 feet.
Slow Speed (–1 RP)
The race has a base speed of 20 feet, its members' speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
Mixed Weakness (–2 RP)
Modifiers: Members of this race gain a +2 bonus to Con and a –2 penalty to Dex. They also gain a +2 bonus to Int and a –4 penalty to Cha.
Xenophobic (0 RP)
Members of this race start with their racial language only. Members of this race with high Intelligence scores can choose from Common, Infernal, Celestial and Abyssal.
Energy Resistance (3 RP)
Benefit: acid, cold, and fire resistance 5
Natural Armor, Improved Natural Armor (3 RP)
Benefit: Members of this race gain a +2 natural armor bonus to their Armor Class.
Master Tinker (2 RP)
Benefit: Members of this race gain a +1 bonus on Disable Device and Knowledge (engineering) checks. Members of this race are also treated as proficient with any weapon they have personally crafted.
Vestigial Wings (2 RP)
Benefit: Members of this race have wings that do not provide the lift required for actual flight, but do have enough power to aid flight attained by some other method, and grant a +4 racial bonus on Fly checks.
One of the oddest creatures a planewalker's likely to ever run into on the planes, the modrons are the workers and caretakers of the plane of Mechanus. They represent the strictest form of law and order, and view the multiverse in an alien manner compared to most other races. Stability, structure, order: these are the modron principles, dictating everything about how they act, think, and function. But even in the perfection of Mechanus things go wrong every now and then. Once in a while a modron loses his place in the hierarchy of the modrons, turns from the order it has always known, and goes rogue.
No one is quite sure what causes a modron to go rogue, though it represents one of the greatest blasphemies in the eyes of the higher-ups in the modron hierarchy. Some say it occurs when a modron receives conflicting orders from its superiors, or when a modron realizes something is truly wrong with the order around it. Others believe the modron advances beyond its immediate peers, and thus becomes different from other modron of similar rank. There are even rumors that Primus, the near power-like leader of the modrons, purposefully infects some modrons with chaos in order to better understand that force. Though this is probably baseless, the truth remains unknown. While many of these rogues are hunted down by other modrons as threats to the modron order, a select few are allowed to leave modron society peacefully. Truly epitomizing lawfulness, modrons have developed a bureaucratic process even for this. Those approved are cast out from the modron hierarchy and are forever considered non- modron.
Personality: Planewalkers often assert that modrons are incapable of emotion, and this isn't far from the truth. Modron outcasts, however, have much more freedom to develop their own personality than their siblings have, and thus are able to learn about the feelings that other creatures take for granted. Being somewhat naive in the ways of planar matters, modron outcasts tend to be extremely inquisitive, questioning the cause behind the simplest events, and pushing the most patient individual to their breaking point. Over time, the modron may unknowingly mimic emotions, particularly frustration as it experiences difficulty understanding the rationale of other races, but this marvelous discovery merely opens fascinating new avenues for the modron to explore.
Modrons do not recognize the concepts of "chance" or "luck". Though the multiverse is alarmingly chaotic in the eyes of a modron, they believe that there is an order behind it all. Everything follows laws and regulations, even though they may not be obvious at first. The modron outcast need only learn these laws to find its place in the multiverse. While likely a life-long task, modrons have plenty of time, and they have a focus that no other creature can match.
Physical Description: All modrons are made of a fusion between metal and organic parts working together in perfect unison. While a modron's shape is normally determined by its rank, shortly after leaving Mechanus the modron outcast loses its rank, including any abilities determined by it, and adopts a form similar to a quadrone. In this new form rogue modrons stand exactly 6 feet tall with a cube-like body, with each side 3 feet across. They have two thin 3-foot legs and two 3-foot arms, as well as a pair of small non-operational wings on their back, and a vaguely humanoid face on their front side. They can draw nourishment from nearly anything, and they sleep and breathe like normal creatures, though undoubtedly the exact process is different internally. All modrons are genderless and ageless, and every modron outcast looks exactly alike, making it confusing to tell them apart at times. Thankfully, there are very few modron outcasts traveling the multiverse.
Relations: Modron outcasts have a neutral, analytical approach to everyone they meet. They come from an alien society and world, and find the different outlooks held by other races both strange and fascinating. Their spark of self-awareness gives them a vague understanding of concepts such as greed, happiness, and self-preservation, but the ideas are still foreign to their way of thinking. They are neither submissive nor arrogant in their dealings, simply curious and straightforward. Over time the modron outcasts typically adapt to fit in their new environment. While most planewalkers cannot tell the difference between a modron and an outcast, all true modrons recognize the outcast as no longer part of the modron hierarchy and treat them as such.
Alignment: Modrons have no sense of mercy or compassion, but they are neither cruel nor vengeful. Their decisions are based on pure logic, not morality, and the modron outcast will normally do what seems most reasonable at the time. As it begins to understand matters of good and evil, the outcast's alignment may shift as a result of its exploration of these new concepts. Though no longer part of the strict hierarchy of Mechanus, modron outcasts remain beings of pure law. They can never accept that there is not an order to everything, and will go to great lengths to impose their own law on the multiverse or rationalize explanations for apparent chaos.
Modron Outcast Lands: All modrons are originally born on Mechanus from the central energy pool in Regulus. After leaving the modron hierarchy, outcasts slowly lose any memory they had of their home or former life. Thus they know nothing of their previous rank or where they come from. Each must find its own purpose and place, for they are far too few to form their own society.
Belief: All modron outcasts have the universal belief that there is an order to everything. This defines their entire existence, and no one has ever been able to convince them otherwise (though many a Chaosman has tried). Most beliefs a modron outcast develops after leaving Mechanus arise from their quest to discover the laws governing the multiverse, or are adopted from their companions. They do not quite understand the role of deities or the devotion given to them, but a few pay lip service as a way of adapting to new cultures.
Language: Modron outcasts retain knowledge of Planar Trade and the Modron tongue after being exiled from Mechanus, but must pick up any additional languages on their own.
Names: Modron outcasts are normally named by those they meet upon first leaving Mechanus. The idea of names, like most concepts, is foreign to the modrons and requires some time for them to accept. These names can be nearly anything, though some outcasts take on a unit designation that they believe suits their position now or reflects their former life (normally arbitrarily).
Adventuring: Modron outcasts adventure as a way to learn about the multiverse and its inhabitants. To them everything is new and mysterious, and adventuring presents the most opportunity to obtain additional information. Modron outcasts never join any groups that do not have a clear hierarchy, even adventuring parties. They must have a firm idea of their function in the group, including who stands above and below them in authority. Though modrons are rarely innately brave or heroic, like everything else they may exhibit similar traits by modeling their actions after those of their companions.
Roleplaying a Modron Outcast: Cast away from the order of Mechanus, you now find yourself enveloped in new thoughts, sensations, and experiences. There is so much information that the multiverse can seem chaotic, but you can sense the order behind it all, even if you cannot see it. You hear its clockwork movement, the ticking and grinding of wheels as the multiverse moves. Chaos is an illusion; luck does not exist; there is a reason and purpose for everything. Every detail is important, each piece of information another part of this mysterious machine. Ask questions about everything; observe what happens and why; take every opportunity to learn more from those around you. They provide various insights into the nature of the multiverse, and unknowingly into the laws governing it.

Traits add an extra layer of customization to Pathfinder PCs, one that I am particularly fond of because of the way they can support choices in background. Here are some Planescape regional traits as developed on the Planewalker Forums (original thread) that I use in my home campaigns.
Regional Traits List
Cager – Sigil
You have spent most of your life inside the City of Doors and its strange ways and urban lifestyle seem natural to you. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (Planes) and Knowledge (Local: Sigil) checks, and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.
Canter – Sigil, Gatetowns
Sigil is a city of many voices and more tongues. Growing up there your ears are accustomed to untangling the cacophony. You gain a +2 trait bonus on linguistics and linguistics is always a class skill for you. Furthermore, you are able to understand the local cant of Sigil without problem and get a further +2 trait bonus to linguistics to understand such things as scramble speak or dabus' rebuses.
Expatriate – Prime
Planars always wonder why gods spend so much time worrying about the Prime when the Planes are so much more obviously important. You're from the Prime, though, and you know that the masses on the Prime are where the action is. Some of that radiates when you're dealing with the servants of deities. You get +1 to Diplomacy and Bluff checks made against celestials or fiends. [contributed by Jem]
Gray Soul – Gray Waste, Hopeless
You spent too long on the Waste and some forgotten part of your hopes and dreams died away. It's hard to play on those themes with you. Any attempt to fascinate you, be it by spell or bardic music or other ability, has a -2 to the DC. [contributed by Jem]
Blood Contract – Gehenna, Gray Waste, Baator, Acheron, & associated gate towns.
You grew accustomed to the ways of devils and loths; perhaps you have a little arcanaloth blood in your veins. Once per day you may sign a contract with your own blood to put all willing signatories (except you) under the effects of a Lesser Geas with a caster level equal to your hit dice and terms as written in the contract. The affected creatures must willingly sign the contract and you need not be a party to the contract other than as a signing witness.
Undue Persecution – Acheron, Baator, Gehenna, & associated gate towns.
Growing up on the plane of tyrannical order has sharpened your wits to a knife's edge. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Diplomacy and Profession (Lawyer) checks and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you. This bonus increases to +2 if being used to help someone (including yourself) get away with or frame someone for a crime.
Perfected Processing – Mechanus, Automata
Though many subcycles you have developed a fine knowledge of how to properly work within the letter and spirit of the Law. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Diplomacy and Profession (Lawyer) checks and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you. This bonus increases to +2 if being used to get through bureaucratic paperwork and customs.
Pattern Recognition – Mechanus, Automata
Some might think that having lived for so long on a plane where illusions are impossible would make you a sucker for them, but as it turns out some of the plane's own resistance has rubbed off on you. You get a +1 trait bonus on saves to resist illusions, since something tends to seem off about the patterns they impose on the world. [contributed by Jem]
Plays Well With Others – Arcadia
Time on the plane of community has helped you learn to work smoothly with allies. When you are using the aid another action, your friend gains a +3 bonus rather than +2. [contributed by Jem]
Due Process – Mount Celestia
You have been raised to uphold the law for the greater good and know how to apply it in service of justice. You gain a +1 trait bonus to Diplomacy and Profession (Lawyer) checks and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you. This bonus increases to +2 if being used to defend an innocent or bring the guilty to justice.
Inured To Chaos – Xaos, Bedlam, Limbo, Ysgard, Pandemonium, Abyss , & associated gate towns.
You've lived a long time in a place where sudden random upheavals are part of the background noise. When you're flat-footed, you gain a trait bonus equal to 1/2 dexterity bonus to AC.
Blood of Fire – Fire Elemental Plane, & Related Quasi-Elemental Planes
Born and bred with the ever raging inferno of the elemental plane of fire. You are able to cast Produce Flame 1/day with your HD as the caster level.
Body of Stone – Earth Elemental Plane, & Related Quasi-Elemental Planes
You descend from the great and infinite seams and layers of stone and earth with the power of Elemental Earth in your blood and bone. You gain a +1 trait bonus to DR.
Dive training — Water, Ooze, Sand, Salt, Dust, any primarily submarine planar layer
You are an air-breather who has practiced and trained in working underwater for long periods. With 2 rounds of preparation, you can hold hold your breath longer: 3 rounds per point of Constitution before beginning to make Constitution checks, which start at DC 5 rather than 10.
Benthic Adaptation — Prime and planar oceans (not Water or Ooze)
You are inured to the deep. You never suffer from environmental high pressures (usually deep water) and need not make Fortitude saves to avoid pressure damage. You never take nonlethal damage from, or get hypothermia from, cold water; this does not apply to atmospheric cold, or ice.
Lightvision — Radiance, Lightning, Fire, Positive
Your eyes are long since adapted to brilliant light displays. You are never dazzled. Against effects that may cause blinding from bright light (GM's judgment, but obviously including spells such as glitterdust, sunbeam, color spray, radiant burst, etc., but not blindness or power word blind), save separately for that effect and add 1/2 your HD to your roll.

After half an door bell

I could hardly have hit a haystack at a distance of ten yards. After half an hour's vigorous practice my right hand began to recover its lost cunning, and I was at last greatly delighted when of my nuts went hissing like a bullet through the leaves, not further than a yard door bell from the wren, or whatever the little beggar was, I had aimed at. Their Impertinences did not like this at all; they began to find out that I was a rather dangerous person to meddle with: their ranks were broken, they became demoralized and scattered, in all directions, and I was finally left master of the field. Dolt that I am, I suddenly exclaimed, to be fooling away my time when the nearest railway station or hotel is perhaps twenty miles away.
I hurried on, but when I got to the end of the grove, on the video door monitor sward near some laurel and juniper bushes, I came on an excavation apparently just made, the loose earth which had been dug out looking quite fresh and moist. The hole or foss was narrow, about five feet deep and seven feet long, and looked, I imagined, curiously like a grave. A few yards away was a pile of dry doorbell

Veterans glad to have a dedicated facility
I am writing in response to a Nov. 12 letter by Danny Walchle concerning veterans being allowed to go to regular hospitals for health care.
Walchle states that the VA health care system is an unnecessary expense and should be eliminated. From his letter, I conclude that Walchle believes that health care costs would somehow be lower at regular hospitals, thereby saving the taxpayers money. He gives no indication of how he arrived at this conclusion. Have his health care costs dropped? Has he seen any sign that regular hospitals are trying to lower health care costs for anyone? Is he aware of any examples of regular hospitals attempting to lower health care costs?
Walchle admits he is not familiar with the VA but concludes that the care given there is sub-par. Having been to the VA on a number of occasions, I can attest to the wonderful care I have received there. The staff have always been efficient, professional, kind and dedicated. The VA is dedicated to the veteran – not to a profit margin as many hospitals clearly are.
I suggest Walchle go to the VA and talk to some veterans before painting this fine organization with such a broad brush. Better yet, he should consider becoming a volunteer at the VA. I am more than sure he would then hear many firsthand positive, heartfelt stores about the care veterans receive there.

Newspaper endorses an anti-Israel slant
It is incredibly disheartening to see The Journal Gazette choose coverage so blatantly biased against Israel. In one recent article, President Obama was quoted on his hope that a ground invasion into Gaza would not happen, but his reiteration that Israel has the right to defend itself (said in the same statement) was conveniently left out.
For anyone to suggest that Israel should negotiate with Hamas is akin to expecting the U.S. to bargain with al Qaida. Hamas places no value on life – neither Jewish nor Palestinian. They put their own civilians in danger and have made it clear that their goal is not a free Palestinian state but to wipe Israel off the map.
How can a nation negotiate with such a policy?
I ask the Journal Gazette to choose coverage from the media that stand against terrorism, and I ask its readers to stand with and pray for Israel.

Wal-Mart employees stance admirable
I don't often put my thoughts into writing, but I feel compelled to give credit where credit is due. To the Wal-Mart employees who stayed home from work on Black Friday and to those employees who might lose their jobs with the holidays so near: In the face of an uncertain future you chose to make a stand for something you believe in.
People like you are rare, you spoke your minds, and your actions of solidarity spoke loud enough for even Wal-Mart to hear. You could all lose your jobs, and tough times will come and go. But your actions and beliefs will carry you to something better than Wal-Mart. In doing this, you will be an example to your children that they will pass on for generations to come. You are all my heroes
My American dream is to be able to make enough money to pursue happiness in my life; granted, I work for it. I hope your requests are met by your employer. As for respect, you already have it.

The Battlefords North Stars winning streak ended at 13 games Saturday night at the Civic Centre.
Reigning SJHL player of the month Austin Daae scored in the fourth round of the shootout to give the Estevan Bruins a wild 7-6 win over the North Stars. Daae had a goal and four assists in regulation.
It appeared the North Stars were going to run away with the game in the first period. They opened the scoring four minutes into the game on the power play. Bruins goaltender Brett Lewchuk stopped Latrell Charleson�s shot. Jake McMillen picked up the rebound at the side of the net and roofed it over Lewchuk�s left shoulder.
The Bruins tied the game less than 30 seconds later. On a two-on-one for Estevan, Tanner Froese passed to Cory Kosloski, who beat Battlefords goaltender Michael Gudmandson. Both Gudmandson and North Stars captain Kyle Schmidt argued with the referee that Kosloski kicked the puck in, but the goal was counted.
That was the only offence the Bruins mustered in the period. The North Stars regained the lead with 12:26 remaining in the first. Igor Leonenko showed his skill as he knocked the puck out of the air with his glove down his stick. He dragged it through the legs of a Bruins defenceman and beat Lewchuk with a backhand over the goaltender�s shoulder.
The North Stars extended the lead to two on the power play two minutes later. After Lewchuk stopped Battlefords defenceman Dillon Forbes� shot with his blocker, the puck was circled back to Forbes at the point. This time, Forbes� slapper beat Lewchuk with 10:27 left in the period. The goal ended Lewchuk�s night. He gave up three goals on 13 shots.
The change in goaltending did not help the Bruins in the period. Leonenko scored his second goal on his birthday with 7:19 remaining. New Estevan goaltender Matt Gibney gave up a rebound on Charleson�s shot. The now 19-year-old Leonenko knocked the puck out of the air and past Gibney to put the North Stars up 4-1.
Battlefords added a fifth shortly before the end of the period. With 1:10 to go, Nick Fountain chose to hang on to the puck on an odd-man rush. He stopped and picked his spot, snapping it short side to beat Gibney. It gave Battlefords a 5-1 lead heading into the second.
It was a different Estevan team that came out in the second period. The Bruins began the period with a good chance as Froese centred for Wyatt Garagan, but Gudmandson made the save.
The Bruins scored their first of the frame five minutes into the second. Daae passed the puck to Froese, who snapped the puck through Gudmandson to cut into the North Stars� lead.
Estevan used two power play goals to bring the North Stars� lead down to one. Kosloski beat Gudmandson with 14:06 remaining in the period. Four minutes later, Daae deflected Nick Egan�s point shot past Gudmandson to cut Battlefords� lead to 5-4.
The Bruins completed the comeback to the tie the game with 2:45 remaining in the second. Keegan Allison took Daae�s pass and snapped it over Gudmandson�s glove to even the game at five. The 781 fans in attendance were in stunned silence after Estevan�s four-goal outburst in the period.
The North Stars regained the lead with 1:28 to play in the period to take some momentum away from the Bruins. North Stars forward Cameron Blair knocked home a rebound from Fountain�s shot, giving Battlefords a 6-5 lead heading into the third.
Battlefords had chances to put the game away early in the period. Tanner Quinn made a nice move around the net, but his backhand attempt was sent just wide of Gibney. Later in the period, Leonenko�s pass floated into the crease. Taylor Reich knocked the puck down, but was unable to get his stick on it.
The Bruins tied the game on a shorthanded rush with 5:49 left in the third. Michael Sagen was sprung on a breakaway, but Gudmandson made the save. However, the rebound bounced right to a trailing Ben Johnstone, who shot the puck over Gudmandson�s glove to tie the game at six.
Overtime would solve nothing and the teams headed to a shootout.
Sagen beat Gudmandson in the second round for the shootout�s first goal. Cameron Blair tied it in the third round with a snap shot past Gibney�s blocker. Johnstone was stopped by Gudmandson to force extra rounds. In the fourth round, Gibney stopped McMillen. Daae had the game on his stick and he slid the puck through Gudmandson�s pads to give the Bruins the win.
Gudmandson made 29 saves for his third loss of the season. Gibney stopped 31 of 34 shots in relief to earn his 17th win of the year for the Bruins.
While the win streak ended at 13 games, the North Stars (30-16-0-3) have earned at least a point in 14 straight. They are two points behind Kindersley for first in the division, but the Klippers have played two fewer games.
The North Stars continue their march to the playoffs Tuesday night. Battlefords host the Flin Flon Bombers for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop at the Civic Centre.

Give up on McGee?
Seems like the guy has much more upside than Thabeet.
Rubio is probably 3 years and a whole lot of pumping iron away from being a contributor.
The internets are ablaze with one specific Wizards trade rumor today.
That trade: JaVale McGee and the #5 pick go to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the #3 pick. The Wizards would then select heartthrob Ricky Rubio and if for some reason he's not available, the Wiz would "settle" for Hasheem Thabeet.
[via Chad Ford on ESPN then Bullets Forever]
Reaction Process:
The Thunder would do it to get the "promising" Blatche, the 5th, and since Etan and Collison both make about the same amount, but Etan for one more year and Collison for two, OKC would chop $6.85 million of their '10-'11 salary. Plus, Etan is from Oklahoma … he would get to go home and represent for Wayman Tisdale.
But like I said, there would need to be some number adjusting/fillers since Blatche makes $3 million next season. Who knows?
What Others Are Saying:
The Wizards are very happy with McGee and believe he will bloss0m into a multiple All-Star. Trading McGee would also put the Wizards on the market for another center of the future and backup to Brendan Haywood, because Etan Thomas is injury prone and has an expiring contract the Wizards would like to move.
I'm also hearing that the Wizards aren't at all interested in James Harden, believing that the Arizona State guard lacks the explosiveness, athleticism and ball-handling skills that they're looking for.
Someone from Comcast Fantasy Sports seems to believe that the Thunder would "make out like bandits":
Give up on McGee?
Seems like the guy has much more upside than Thabeet.
Rubio is probably 3 years and a whole lot of pumping iron away from being a contributor.
ugh I hate the draft lottery why not just do the NBA draft like the NFL draft.But if the wizkids do move up and draft rubio is he gonna start?But that means that my man Gilbert would have to play offball as the sg.
No more kids on the Wiz team! Last year was like Romper Room with the immature rookies we already have and we don't need anymore. Trade the daggone draft pick for crying out loud! Or package Etan,Stevenson,Blatche and James. And lets not forget Dixon. All of the above can go. But not McGee and not Young. I would like to see to give Young one more year to see if he improves mentally cause dude looked lost on the court a lot of the time.

Title says it all. Pokemon Special has good thing and not-so-good things about it but sometimes the writer likes to surprise and confuse us. Like how the Manga's story expands on the Pokemon games' aspects or how the Elite Four of Kanto is evil or how Green's (Blue) Ditto can form into inanimate objects such as keys. What stood out the most to you? And what confused you the most?
Feel free to reply so long as you keep on topic.
