GOP Sen. Portman of Ohio now supports gay marriage
Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman is now supporting gay marriage and says his reversal on the issue began when he learned one of his sons is gay.
The Associated Press
Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman is now supporting gay marriage and says his reversal on the issue began when he learned one of his sons is gay.
Ohio's junior senator disclosed his change of heart in interviews with several Ohio newspapers and CNN. In an op-ed published Friday in The Columbus Dispatch, he said the decision came after a lot of thought.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," he wrote.
As a member of the House in 1996, Portman voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman and bars federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
Portman's reversal makes him the only Senate Republican to back gay marriage.
Portman said his views on gay marriage began changing in 2011, when his son, Will, then a freshman at Yale University, told his parents he was gay and that it wasn't a choice but "part of who he was." Portman said he and his wife, Jane, were very surprised but also supportive.
He said it prompted him to reconsider gay marriage from a different perspective, that of a father who wants all three of his children to have happy lives with people they love.
He said he talked to his pastor and to people on both sides of the gay marriage issue, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is opposed to gay marriage, and former Vice President Dick Cheney, who supports it. Cheney's daughter is a lesbian.
Portman told reporters Thursday that his previous views on marriage were rooted in his Methodist faith.
"Ultimately, for me, it came down to the Bible's overarching themes of love and compassion and my belief that we are all children of God," he wrote.
The well-known Ohio conservative, a former U.S. trade representative and White House budget chief, was considered but not chosen as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's running mate. Portman told the newspapers Romney was informed about Will's sexuality last year.
Portman's reversal comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments this month in a challenge to a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Portman said he would like Congress to repeal the provision of the DOMA that bans federal recognition of gay marriage, though he still supports the part of the law that says states should not be forced to recognize such marriages.
A group working to overturn Ohio's ban on same-sex marriage praised Portman's comments, as did Ohio's senior senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown.
"I look forward to working with him to ensure that all Americans have the ability to marry regardless of whom they love or where they live," Brown said in a written statement.
Brown voted against DOMA while he was a member of the U.S. House.

Jill Stuart Brightening Eye Cream Review
Jill Stuart Brightening Eye Cream has been apart of my daily AM regime for several months now. I purchased it in the hopes it would brighten up my tired eyes but not necessarily rid me of dark circles.
Imma tell you, if you've been searching for an eye cream that will rid you of dark circles just give up. It doesn't exist. Dark circles are best concealed not treated. Seriously.
Jill Stuart Brightening Eye Cream doesn't technically address dark circles but does promise to hydrate eyes and "improves the luminosity" of the skin under your eyes.

Skin Food Potiron au Lait Eye Cream Review
Listen up dry eyes…! Winter is coming! Time to moisturize well! Moisture is key to flawless looking concealer. You should be apply a daily eye cream in the AM and a richer one in the PM to restore moisture to drier eyes so your concealer will look fresh and beautiful.
No one loves creasing, fading, uneven concealer and that's exactly what you'll end up with if you're skipping prepping well with a proper eye cream. With the cooler weather creeping up I tend to rotate my eye cream to a richer formula and NO one does richer, moisturizing eye creams better than Skin Food.Read More...

Amityville Lyrics - Eminem
Review The Song (3)
(feat. Bizarre (D-12))
(kill kill kill)
Dahh-dum, dahh-dum.. dum
Dahh-dum, dahh-dum, duh-da-da-da-da
(kill kill kill)
Dahh-dum, dahh-dum.. dum
Dahh-dum, dahh-dum, dumm..
(kill kill kill)
[Chorus: Eminem]
Mentally ill from Amityville (HE'LL)
Accidentally kill your family still
Thinkin he won't? God-damnit he will (HE'SSSS)
Mentally ill from Amityville
[(HE'SSSS) - on repeats only]
I get lifted and spin til I'm half-twisted
Feet planted and stand with a grin full of chapped lipstick (SMACK)
Pen full of ink, think sinful and rap sick shit
Shrink pencil me in for my last visit
Drink gin til my chin's full of splashed whiskers (whoosh)
Hash whiskey and ash til I slap bitches (smack)
Ask Bizzy, he's been here the past six years
Mash with me you'll get in imagine this
[Chorus 2X]
I fucked my cousin in his asshole, slit my mother's throat
(AH!) Guess who Slim Shady just signed to Interscope?
My little sister's birthday, she'll remember me
For a gift I had ten of my boys take her virginity
(Mmm mm mmm!) And bitches know me as a horny ass freak
Their mother wasn't raped, I ate her pussy while she was 'sleep
Pissy-drunk, throwing up in the urinal (YOU FUCKING HOMO!)
That's what I said at my dad's funeral
[Chorus 2X]
That's why the city is filled with a bunch of fucking idiots still (still)
That's why the first motherfucker poppin some shit he gets killed (killed)
That's why we don't call it Detroit, we call it Amityville ('Ville)
You can get capped after just having a cavity filled (filled)
Ahahahaha, that's why we're crowned the murder capital still (still)
This ain't Detroit, this is motherfucking Hamburger Hill! (Hill!)
We don't do drivebys, we park in front of houses and shoot
and when the police come we fucking shoot it out with them too!
That's the mentality here (here) that's the reality here (here)
Did I just hear somebody say they wanna challenge me here?? (huh?)
While I'm holding a pistol with this many calibres here?? (here??)
Got some registration and just made this shit valid this year? (year?)
Cause once i snap i cant be held accountable for my actions
and that's when accidents happen,
when a thousand bullets come at your house
and collapse the foundation around and they found you
and your family in it (AH!)
[Chorus 2X]
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da
Dum, tahh-dum.. ta-dah-da

Damn I miss Detroit | Reviewer: Phoenix | 12/14/2007
I used to live off 7 mile and Teppert so I grew up with this stuff coming out of speakers and head sets all around me. I love Detroit and most of all the music from it like rap since now it's 2007 and almost 2008 and rap is garbage now but Detroit under ground is keepin it on lock and won't let fake get the key. But one things is wrong here I see with the lyrics, where it says "I get lifted and spin until I'm half-twisted" is wrong if you start to rap this to your self even it's easy to tell that the word "until" is out of place. The real line is "I get lifted and spin til I'm half-twisted", I just wanted to point it out.
What's stupid about it? | Reviewer: Craige | 10/17/2007
Vanessa, I think these lyrics were written pretty well. Using abbreviations in song lyrics is acceptable only when that is how the artist pronounces the word. However, in this song, Eminem enunciated very well, and thus to abbreviate words would be pointless; it would simply make them harder to read.
thats stupid! | Reviewer: vanessa | 4/14/2007
man thats cool that you guys write the lyrics and everything but you guys write it too corectly u forget the abreviations....

You can always call DIRECTV and tell them what you want to do, and ask for billing credits to offset the cost. It's worked in the past.

Here it is:
If you plan to ask for credits from DirecTV for ordering a receiver from a retail dealer, best to call 800-531-5000 and ask FIRST. In my experience it has never happened, but who knows. At best it will work..at worst you avoid a headache. In any case, remember this--even if you pay full price, the receiver is leased. It is not owned.
Good luck!

Seriously? I have an HR34 that I have performance issues with but I would have to give it up if I order an HR44?
Posted 18 May 2013 - 07:17 AM
Posted 18 May 2013 - 05:15 PM
I'm in... Have been waiting for this.
My Setup
Posted 18 May 2013 - 07:12 PM
Tried calling DirecTV to see if I could get credit if I purchased one of these. They said no.
Was told the price through DirecTV was $99, but I could get it for no charge. Said I could refuse if the model I did not want showed up.
Guess I will wait until they show up around where I live.
Posted 20 May 2013 - 05:23 PM
SolidSignal called me today to make sure I knew that the HR44 was not immediately available, and to see if I already had DirecTV service. I asked if they had any more specific information on availability, and was told they didn't. The rep also said that DirecTV had earlier told them to start selling the GenieGO/Nomad, only to hold it up for five months, so they weren't taking anything for granted.
My Setup
Posted 21 May 2013 - 02:06 PM
got that same call on Monday, and an email with the same info. I sure do miss the days when you could just go out and buy the receiver at a retail store. (Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc...)
Posted 22 May 2013 - 08:45 AM
I just received a call from SS saying that my HR44 is in and ready for pickup!!!! Too bad I am out of town till Friday. I will swing by there on my way from the airport.
Posted 22 May 2013 - 11:03 AM
SolidSignal shipped my HR44 yesterday. Should be here on Friday. Yay!
Posted 22 May 2013 - 08:29 PM
So is this a limited order or the start of a national release for the HR44?

No, they are not released nationwide yet.

The Missouri man involved in an alcohol-fueled fight outside a Perkins Restaurant and Bakery in Hastings last week has died, police said.
Bradley Sanders, 32, Bakersfield, Mo., died Monday at United Hospital in St. Paul, where it was determined he had suffered cardiac arrest earlier, said Bryan Schafer, Hastings police chief.
Sanders collapsed during an altercation with James Nathan Phenix, 27, of West Plains, Mo., at the restaurant at 1206 Vermillion St. just after 3 a.m. May 9, police said. Sanders was found unresponsive and not breathing.
The men, who were in the area to work on a construction project at the Flint Hills Resources oil refinery in Rosemount, stopped at the restaurant after a night of drinking, Schafer said.
Phenix was arrested and booked into Dakota County Jail on suspicion of third-degree assault. He was released earlier this week pending further investigation.
The case will be presented to the Dakota County attorney's office for review once the Ramsey County medical examiner's office has determined the exact cause of death, Schafer said.

Tubing the ditch was a blast. The tour guides were fantastic. The swim at the end was a bit too short but that's the cruise line's fault for such a short shore excursion time. The staff were so good to my mother in law who was nervous on the tube and has mild mobility issues at the time.

West Kingdom has never had a feast as long as i've been in the SCA, since Twelfth Night is usually held in a hotel. There's always a large room with many tables set aside for people to bring their own food, usually for lunch and snacks. For dinner, everyone is on their own. People generally go to nearby restaurants or eat in the hotel restaurant. For the longest time, people who wanted to dance had to find a hall or other public space (like a deserted lobby) to dance in. Appalling, i know! Fortunately a couple people got together a few years ago and with the support of some Duchesses, created a dance ball later on Saturday night. Since certain of the organizers wanted a period banqueting table, there is usually nothing but cloying sweets available. I have no idea what's being planned this year, since no requests for help or discussions took place on any of the local e-lists i'm on. And the whole night and well into the next morning there are parties with *lots* of alcohol going on in peoples' private rooms. So much for our Twelfth Night food. -- Urtatim [that's err-tah-TEEM] the persona formerly known as Anahita

Living Dream Save the Date Magnets Received a lot of compliments on this magnet, I was very happy with it- good quality. I liked the medium sized one (I think it was 3x5?)--4x6 is a little big and the business card size is a little small. Had to deal w/Customer Service when their was a small issue w/the order but they were EXELLENT and resolved the issue immediately. I would definitely order from this company again.
Great product, very happy! :)

San Marco congestion irks residents
Updated On: May 01 2013 06:48:36 PM EDT
If you live in or travel through San Marco, you've probably noticed major congestion during peak travel hours.
San Marco residents are frustrated because commuters are driving through neighborhoods at high speed instead of sticking out the traffic delays on Hendricks Avenue at Atlantic Boulevard.
"They go 40 and 50. They go really fast sometimes," said Katie Eliopulos, who lives in San Marco. The residential speed limit is 30 mph.
But why the recent congestion? The ongoing construction project in San Marco Square is making people reroute to Hendricks Avenue. And it's expected to last through the summer.
"And then they cut down to below and go on down below, but just bumper to bumper," San Marco resident Jim Pearce said. "But if you get in a situation like this, they want to cut around."
People walk their dogs, jog for fitness, children are out playing, but drivers ignore the speed limit and zoom through with disregard to their speed and the people who live in the neighborhood. Residents want drivers to stop cutting through their neighborhood. The biggest fear, they say, is the safety of children.
"It's scary. I don't want them -- I mean, we only play in the backyard where it is fenced in," Eliopulos said. "I don't want them out here at all. It's too dangerous."
Because congestion is a problem on Hendricks Avenue, drivers should leave home five minutes earlier than normal. Although residents don't want drivers traveling through their streets, if you have to, drive the speed limit and look out for neighbors.

does anyone shop at Grocery Outlet?
- g
- Georgia Strait Mar 10, 2012 06:00 PM
i have been to one Grocery Outlet - interesting products, very economical, the employees were very friendly and helpful.
is it the next Trader Joe's?
i don't know and i have no affiliation.
just curious what you all think.
The San Francisco board has had periodic 'this month's finds' thread. There was an attempt to expand that to either the Chains board, or other regional ones. The Seattle board version didn't get much traffic. Anyways, check San Francisco.
i do and i enjoy it. however, i go there for interesting finds rather than specifics. i treat it like a "supplementary" store. The next Trader Joe's it is not.
I do occasionally. Sometimes they have some great stuff, sometimes they have nothing at all that I want or need. No, not the next TJ's but it really does fill a niche market, their prices are great if you find something you like.
I shop there on occasion. I don't find there to be any similarity to Trader Joe's though. I think Trader Joe's has many unique items you don't see at your typical grocery store. Grocery Outlet has items you'd find at any grocery store, though they sometimes have brands that are normally carried in other parts of the country. Recently I picked up a couple bags of old fashioned yellow grits. My local stores only carry white instant grits. My parents like to buy jarred pears and peaches at GO. Just recently they had jarred Del Monte peaches for $.99/jar. I've seen the same product at Safeway for $3.99/jar. When I go to TJ's I know I'll walk out of there with at least a few items, at GO, I may find something that's a great deal, or I may walk out empty-handed.
re: gmm
There are occasional overlaps between GO and TJ, but not many. I have stocked up on a ground Italian espresso coffee at GO, the same brand that TJ used to carry. I also got a Spanish Tempranillo at similar price, and quality, from both. And of late I've been getting mascarpone for less at GO than at TJ. But the nature of shopping at GO is that the great finds are there today, and gone tomorrow.
re: paulj
Word, PaulJ. If you like it and it's in stock, buy lots!
The nature of the store is they buy sellouts, soon to expire and discontinued items.
I just had a trio of Spanish goat cheese, sliced in wedges. 5 oz for $1.99, so a little over $6/lb, a really great price. So yummy. All gone now, natch.
Last summer they had mozzarella rolled around prosciutto. A slice of that, some crusty bread, who needs to cook in the heat?
I too treat Grocery Outlet as a supplementary store. It is the third stop in my shopping trip that starts at Winco then Fresh & Easy. I don't have a convenient Trader Joe's nearby, and I sure do miss it. GO is really nothing like Trader Joe's.
Grocery Outlet and Trader Joes have always served different purposes. The original concept for GO was as a gov't surplus food distributor, then grew into Canned Foods in the 70s, dealing in dented cans and distributor surplus food as well. Sometimes I'd go there just to see the funky different labels they had. The student housing co-ops at UC Berkeley always did huge shopping trips there to fill their pantries. On my last trip to GO, they had Hellmann's mayo, but only in the 2 qt. size, even though we're in Best Foods territory. (I bought one for a neighbor friend from the east, since he yearns for Hellmann's. It is a different product—a bit less tangy than Best Foods.)
Trader Joes always leaned more heavily on remnant alcohol sales and high-brow food stuffs. Their cut and wrapped in store country paté was cheap and really good. Today, they only carry paté in little plastic tubs. The TJs I began going to in West Hollywood in 1985 is nothing like the TJs today. I don't even think they had anything privately labeled back then, whereas over half the store or more seems like it's "made for Trader Joes" now, sort of like Nordstrom's Rack! :)
I shop at both GO and TJs on occasion, knowing full well that I need to taste-test anything from GO pretty quickly, since it may not be there for very long, plus most items are very near their 'Best By' date. I've been buying the Del Monte fruit in glass for 99¢ not only for the fruit, but also the container to keep homemade soup in in the fridge. The 'Best By' date on those is 3/11/12, today! GO only has a few items I surmise are made just for them, such as the California Healthy Harvest line of canned tomato products. A small can of tomato paste is reliably 39¢ at GO, for instance. That's a brand I've seen there for at least a decade or more, and always reliably good eatin' for less than half the price of most tomato pastes in standard supermarkets.
Oddly, I believe GO is a better source overall for inexpensive good wine these days, the crown TJs used to hold. Selection and supply is limited, but GO doesn't have nearly the shelf space to fill for wines, and they get their share of real stinkers. As an example, I just picked up a 2009 Malbec from Argentina for $4/bottle that's perfectly acceptable for drinking now and will be marvelous to cook with. I can't recall any wine recently under $10 at TJs that I've been as happy with as this Malbec. On the other hand, a Riesling I bought for $3 from a highly respected winery was badly cooked and went down the drain.
I hope GO stays just as it is. Some of the stuff is real junk and I just pass it by, while some of it is top quality for real bargain prices. Where else are you going to find glass jars of Himalayan Pink Salt from the Cucina brand for $2.99 that sells elsewhere for $12 or so? I also noticed my local GO here in Oregon is selling Miller-brand beef franks for $5.99 for the big pack. That's expensive for the clientele who frequents a remnant store, even though those are high-quality franks, well worth the money. But that's a well-known purveyor from the Bay Area—I'd be surprised if many in Oregon would pay that kind of price for hot dogs from a little-known brand up here that has a short time until the 'Best By' date runs out.
The other place I've been shopping in lately is Dollar Tree. There are two near me, and they both have Jumex nectars in the Tetrapak for $1 a liter. I love me some guava nectar at that price! Same brand is usually 79 or 89¢ for a 12 oz. can at Safeway, for about a third of the quantity.

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | May 29, 2013 | Total plays: 12,773
On a somewhat related note, I had the opportunity to watch these guys play a 4:30am set at Primavera Sound. The crowd had dwindled considerably at that point, but suffice to say there were enough people (maybe 500?) who were out for the dance party. Overall, great live set -- and more use of real instruments than I would have expected!

Julie Wineberg has a wide range of production experience. As Vice President of International Sales, Administration and Entertainment at MGA Entertainment, Julie played an instrumental part in making MGA become the 3rd biggest toy manufacturer in the world propelling Bratz as a brand in international toy sales, marketing and television specials and series. Bratz became the biggest selling doll worldwide overselling Barbie in many markets. Julie's time with Saban International as Senior Vice President International Sales Management significantly expanded both sales and distribution, notably with the Power Rangers for television and film, for the Fox Kids stations. This resulted in Disney's decision to acquire Saban International. During Julie's tenure at Paramount International, she directed worldwide deals for television and film from Happy Days to Cheers, Frasier, MacGyver, as well as Star Trek (and off shoots), Godfather Movies, Forrest Gump and the Indiana Jones movies.

For Katherine Brooks' documentary feature film Face 2 Face, where Katherine met 50 of her Facebook friends, Beth managed the successful film production and travel logistics for the cross-country filming of the 50 individuals, in 39 states, in 85 days. Under Beth's music production company, Side Tracked Records, Alex Eden, a soulful song stylist married to British actor Gary Oldman, released her album Touchez-Moi which garnered critical praise.

Face 2 Face is a feature length documentary that follows the 11,000 mile cross country adventure of Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Katherine Brooks (Loving Annabelle, Waking Madison, "The Osbournes," "The Real World: San Diego").
After major surgery, Katherine found herself feeling isolated and alone. Spending her days on Facebook, Katherine noticed she had 5,000 virtual friends, but had not had a hug in over a month. Struck with the idea that it takes more than a friend request to be a friend, she posted the status update: the first 50 people who say YES…I'm coming to your city to meet you face to face.
Within 9 minutes, Katherine had her 50.
Funded solely by 846 backers on Kickstarter, in the summer of 2011, Katherine set out on a journey that would change her life and those around her.

I'm notoriously bad at keeping my R-sections together and I generally do need them badly. As some have said before; this is the product I would most like to see happen (I'm not promising an immediate buy of the paper version but if it were available as download I'd buy it right now).
So with the lack of Ted's updates lately I'd love to know what's happening with this at the moment.

Gentlemen, please remember that if you compile copyright-protected information, then you may use it yourself only. You may not, under any circumstances, distribute it to anyone else. Even if you say it is free, it breaks the copyright laws.
If you think you have produced something that SVC wants to see, email him and describe what you have done. Please don't post that information on the BBS.
|By Howard Bampton (Bampton) on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - 07:12 am: Edit
John- IP, DRM, Copyright, and the like dictate how you can use stuff you buy (or 'acquire a license to'). They spell out what you can do. Us transcribing ADB IP into an alternate format/presentation steps over that line if it is distributed (you can do it for your own personal use without issue).
ADB seems to be pretty reasonable with their use of IP and allowing others to leverage it. Their license with Paramount also places some constraints on what they do, lest some well meaning person do something that gets ADB in legal troubles.
Don't get me wrong- I find some of the rules annoying, even though I see why they are the way they are. There are some companies that misuse (IMO) those laws, and I just don't buy their products and explain (when asked) why I don't. A discussion of the evils (again, IMO) of the DMCA is something that Jean would probably frown on though.
|By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - 07:26 am: Edit
John, I gave you an avenue to help. Email SVC and tell him what you have done and see if it is something he needs or can use.
Remember that we have always said that you can do something for your personal enjoyment. You can never distribute it. Think about how many people had scanned in their MRB. If they had given it away to people, then we wouldn't be able to sell it. It is unfortunately true that we must make money to stay in business.
Howard, let's not get into the DMCA discussion or the morality of copyright. You are right and it would make me an unhappy camper.
|By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - 10:00 am: Edit
John, however much you wanted to help, you did break the rules (and the law) and should have known better.
Whatever it is, email me about it, and we'll talk.

I understand SPP has this project now. And I am sure he sneaks a little time into it here and there but, what happen to the ideal of just getting all the RAW unedited, unupdated R Sections spooled together into a quick and dirty document and selling it on line. Yes I want the MSSB but I also want to replace a lot of my water damaged products so I can keep up with Battle Force articles now.
|By Shawn Hantke (Shantke) on Thursday, November 03, 2011 - 03:58 pm: Edit
Any progress on this? How about the unupdated raw version? Here is a thought: Update the R sections a little at a time and sell them piece by piece, then release the whole updated book when all the R sections are updated. ie: basic set R section, then Advanced Missions R section, then R1 R section etc.
|By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, November 03, 2011 - 09:33 pm: Edit
Shawn, we've been swamped with Mongoose joint venture projects and haven't been able to work on two other big releases. This is on the backburner for a while.

Does the little piece idea hold any water when there is more time?
|By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, November 03, 2011 - 10:24 pm: Edit
Maybe we can talk about that after CL44. We are officially on CL44 lockdown right now, so the answer to any "can you do...?" question is "no".
|By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, November 03, 2011 - 10:30 pm: Edit
The little piece idea is ok to work on the project, but useless to release it. Every time we work on ship 43, we find out we have to go change ships 11, 29, 47, 53, and 65.
The problem (I have said before) is that this turned out to be about 50 times as much work as it was thought to be when we talked about doing it. The amount of work that went into an unfinished version of the Hydrans was several times the amount of time budgeted to do EVERY empire (total, not each).
So maybe we can find a way to make progress here, but maybe when compared to other things people want updated, this is not a good bet. I don't know YET.
|By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, March 18, 2013 - 06:41 pm: Edit
Steve Petrick is nearly finished with the "first complete draft" of the Federation part of the MSSB. He will soon be looking for a very small number of people to review and comment on the book. If you'd be interested and have time to give it serious attention, contact both SPP and SVC by email and we'll review applications.
Jean Sexton and John Crawford are already on the team.

I don't know if many of your ever saw the old Panzerblitz Wargamer's Guide but not only did it include a unit description but it also included an illustration of the the counter used in the game.
Would adding the illustration of the F&E counter along with the unit description prove to be too difficult? The thought is that this product could also be used as an SFU reference beyond that of SFB and to help spark further interest in and market F&E.

Would this be the appropriate thread to ask about the Federation Master Starship Book, or should a new thread be created to handle each empire's MSSB entry in turn?
I saw the updated product description on the storefront entry for the FMSSB, and was wondering if the "Y-ships" portion went so far as to include the various Terran, Vulcan, Andorian, or other "planetary" National Guard hull types (such as those Terran designs whose templates owe their existence to the ICE/MX miniature agreement), or if it only covers the (mostly) saucer-and-nacelle ships of the unified Star Fleet?
I may have asked a similar question before, but I was curious to see if the file had since been expanded further back in time with the Early Years material (or, indeed, further forward to more thoroughly cover first-generation X-ships).

They are in the Fed YR2.0 sections, so it goes YR2.2- YR2.9 then skips to YR2.19-YR2.22 then skips to YR2.34-YR2.37 and stops before YR2.38-YR248??? Seems odd.

You'd have to ask Petrick. I just did the art. I don't think he included them (maybe he did) but whatever decision he made is the one that was made because the book has been through finance and marketing by this point and it is what it is.

I asked him.
He said they are all in there.
Sorry I caused confusion. I did not realize that Steve had not given me that art list so I assumed there was no art and thus no per federation ships.

Awesome they are in there, made me nervous for a bit.

Thanks for the clarification.

Gary, the cover is done; Simone found some ships she could pull out of layers on a booster cover.

The penis, as you have probably discovered, is used for peeing, making babies and generally having fun with. You're very lucky to have one so take care of it.
Men's Health Forum gets more questions about the male tackle than any other subject. We've gone through the lot and tried to answer them in this section. If you read the whole thing - by following the links at the bottom of the page - you should find the answer to whatever is bugging you. If you can't, drop us an email or a message through our contact page but remember we can't answer your question individually although we will try to update the site.
It's good to talk
According to Lloyds Pharmacy survey showed that as many as 42% of men have delayed a visit to the doctor's because of a reluctance to discuss our defining part. One in ten blokes wouldn't go at all if they had a problem with their privates. This shyness is potentially deadly.
Erection problems, for example, can be a symptom of serious underlying health problems including diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol – if left untreated these can kill.
Part of the problem is a lack of vocabulary. Men just don't know what to call their meat and two veg in front of a doctor. A significant proportion (29%) prefer to use euphemisms such as 'nether regions', 'downstairs' and 'down below'.
The need to know vocabulary
Here's your tackle in technicolour complete with a few technical terms.
Sperm are manufactured in the testicles and pass along the epididymis where matured sperm hang out. The epididymis is a microscopically narrow tube 6m long folded into a space of 5cm - an engineering masterpiece. Just before you cum the sperm travel along two narrow tubes of muscle called vas deferens. These meet with the seminal vesicles which are behind the bladder just above the prostate gland.
The seminal vesicles and the prostate gland add their own secretions to the semen. These fluids are alkaline which protect the sperm from the acid in the vagina. At orgasm, the semen is propelled from two ejaculatory ducts along the urethra which runs the length of the penis and out of the urethral opening.
What is the penis made of?
The penis is basically three cylinders of spongy erectile tissue full of blood vessels. The urethra, the body's outlet tube for both sperm and urine (although only one at a time), passes through the middle of the smallest of these - the corpus spongiosum - which is found on the underside of the penis. The corpus spongiosum expands at the tip to form the head of the penis called the glans. The glans is protected by the foreskin.
Why is my erect penis bent?
Every penis is bit bent and a slight bend upwards is not just normal but desirable.
You may have a problem if your penis is bent to the left or right so much as to make it difficult or even painful to enter your partner during sex. It could be condition called Peyronie's. This is not an Italian beer. Bent willies are very common and generally do not cause any problem with intercourse. It's a matter of finding what fits, so to speak. If the 'bend' is particularly bad, surgery can improve matters.
Can the penis break?
It can fracture if it bashes into an immovable object when erect. The most common cause is probably the woman's pubic bone. It can be healed through surgery and splints.
Do I need to clean my penis?
In short, yes. You should wash it every day with warm water when you're having a shower or a bath. If you have a foreskin you should pull it back and wash under it. We need to clean our penises every day because if we don't a cheesy looking substance called smegma builds up. Smegma is the result of a natural lubricant we produce which when we don't wash collects. This builds up and can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It's natural to have some bacteria on your skin but too much on your penis can cause balanitis, which can be very sore and uncomfortable!
