Labor Day Weekend Review
-Campaign Coins. Wow. I tell you, I don't know what folks will think of the cost of the product, but for sheer coolness/rockingness, its way up there. I absolutely love new, well-considered gaming accessories, and Campaign Coins would fall right in there. It also may have the most interior packaging of any RPG product, ever. For those who haven't seen them yet, here's a pic from their website:
-Reaper's Goroloth mini is quite nicely done, but is going to take some extensive work before I have it in good shape. Here's Goroloth's yearbook pic, for the curious:
-Staying on Reaper for a minute, I was pretty excited when they announced a few months back their Legendary Encounters prepainted plastic minis line. Regrettably, the Minotaur I received for the purposes of judging is striking visually, but has a bit of trouble standing totally upright and balanced. It looks as if the base may have been bent/warped a bit in packaging. Bummer!
-Colonial Gothic by Rogue Games is one of the best ideas for an idea that I'd heard of in a good while. Upon further reading, though, I think there are some issues with the system that I really need to playtest, mainly in the area of skills. This RPG has some really cool concepts, but I'm just not sure how that'll weigh vs. the editing issues and rules questions I have.
-I'm reacquainting myself with BattleTech! There's a lot of product here to review, and I'm making sure I don't miss anything. Some products are such that you can just look at it and know an extra dose of work and consideration went into their completion. BattleTech's current line=that.
-As a long-time Palladium fan, that side of me was very much looking forward to Rifts Dimension Book 10: Hades. The book itself is chock full of concepts and great ideas for Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, and more, but the layout is standard Palladium Fantasy, somewhat disappointingly organized, and detracts from the overall product to a point. On the other hand, Carl Gleba provides really good bits in here, and really shows off his stuff as a writer (just really good writing throughout). So, a mixed bag, but one that was still a fun read.
I looked at a few other products this weekend, but more on those as I get a chance to look them further.

I loved the Campaign Coins! I thought it was a great idea to make the game more interactive and fun. I can't imagine anything more entertaining than a pocket full of gold.

I was unaware there were previous coin-props of this sort! I've seen cardstock ones, but not this...

From pretty early in the hobby, you could get white-metal fantasy coin sets from lead-miniatures companies (mold-casted using the same materials and methods used for the miniatures). These were sold in fat jingly bags in game-shops through the 80s and into the early 90s, though the manufacturer (and quality) varied.
In the 90s, I saw at least one set of fantasy coins struck from harder-metal blanks or sheet (kind of like videogame tokens) and that seems to be the approach used by Campaign Coins (judging solely by the photo, which is very tempting gamer-porn to me).
And of course, for the truly well-financed, you can also get fantasy coins struck like real coins from the proper metals, from a high-end source like joelscoins.com (actually, the ones made from the cheaper metals are very reasonably priced ... it's the genuine silver- and gold-pieces you need to sell the blood for) :)

Oh, for those confused by the real-coinage focus of joelscoins, the fantasy pages are:
... but his genuine-history wares rock, too (you can get 10 roman bronze coins for under $18, for example).
The guy that used to make the fantasy coinage no longer does so, alas, but Joel's still has some stock.
Hopefully those URLs won't clip. Blogger hates URLs :)
- September 5, 2007 at 12:32 AM
- S. John said...
One more link - a different (?) - source of fantasy coin (or the same one that is or isn't existing to supply Joel's)?
Sorry for the flood. It's a topic that gets me jazzed :)
- September 5, 2007 at 12:35 AM
- S. John said...
Absolute last part of this flood, I swear. Almost certainly. On my life!*
Looks like some miniatures companies are still doing it:
Use just the word "coin" in the search box, lots of choices. Pretty decent prices, too, so possibly a good alternative for gamers scared by the price of the Campaign Coins.

Fantastic! Thanks very much! I had no idea!

Man, I must be way out of touch. the coin thing does nothing for me. I can appreciate the quality and all that, but it's not something I would spend real money on. but then I never dressed "in character" for a game either. I guess i'm just an old fuddy-duddy.
the very fact that I actually used the word fuddy-duddy proves my point.
- September 5, 2007 at 1:35 PM
- Zachary The First said...
My friend, each Wednesday you prove to us youre no fuddy-duddy.
One thing I'm interested in is seeing how my players react to actually "spending" coin, as opposed to just orossing it off their sheet. Will the 10 gold tips for the barkeep dry up? Will the private room in the inn seem a little less desirable when it will take all but a few piddly coppers?

Man, I must be way out of touch.
There is the alarming possibility that you simply have different tastes.
So hard for some gamers to consider that, I know :)

Thanks for the kind words on the new BattleTech stuff -- we did, indeed, work hard to find new ways to present the material, with a special eye towards not just doing things "because that's the way they've always been done."
I look forward to hearing more of your reaction on the Classic BattleTech books and box set!

Illustration by Donald L. Malick
Like a large, long-billed version of the downy woodpecker, the hairy is a widespread generalist of a variety of forests and woodlands over most of the continent. Polytypic. Length 9" (24 cm).
Identification Plumage pattern is nearly identical to the downy's, with long white patch down the back, variable white spotting on the wing coverts and flight feathers, and mostly unmarked underparts. The outer tail feathers are usually unmarked white. Adult: male shows red nuchal bar, often divided vertically by black (especially in some eastern populations); red is lacking in female.
Geographic Variation Variation is extensive but generally clinal. About 17 subspecies, 11 north of Mexico. Nominate villosus is widespread in the East; southeastern birds (audubonii) are smaller, buffier (less pure white) below, and with less white on the back. Boreal septentrionalis, from interior Alaska east to Quebec, is the largest, whitest subspecies. Newfoundland terranovae is distinctive, with white back reduced and barred (especially in immatures), some black spotting on outer rectrices, and often with fine black streaking on the sides and flanks. In the West, picoideus of the Queen Charlotte Islands is most distinctive, with gray-brown underparts; black markings in the white back stripe, sides, and flanks; and strong black bars on the outer rectrices. Northwestern harrisi and sitkensis have gray-brown underparts and face and reduced white on the wings. Hyloscopus of California and northern Baja California is smaller, paler (light gray-buff) below, and whiter on the head. Three additional subspecies of the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain regions (orius, monitcola, leucothorectis) are moderate to large in size and white to very pale buff below; compared with eastern and boreal birds they have reduced white on the back and greatly reduced white spotting on the wing coverts. The subspecies icastus, ranging from southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico south to central Mexico, is similar but smaller. Four Middle American subspecies from eastern and southern Mexico south to western Panama are smaller still (some nearly as small as the downy woodpecker) and are variably buffy to deep buff-brown on the underparts. There are 2 additional subspecies on the Bahamas. As in all woodpeckers, facial and underpart feathering can become stained with pitch and soot, so some color variation is not related to subspecies.
Similar Species The downy woodpecker is similar in pattern but much smaller, with a small, short bill (much smaller than half the length of the head). Beware a recently fledged hairy with much a shorter bill than adult's; black bars on the outer tail feathers distinguish a downy from a hairy. See the American three-toed woodpecker. Note that some populations of hairy (especially in Newfoundland) can show barred backs (especially as juveniles), and some Three-toed populations have nearly pure white backs.
Voice Call: a piercing, sharp peek or pee-ik. The rattle call ("whinny") is a fast, slightly descending series of these peek calls. Drum: rapid roll of about 25 beats in 1 second.
Status and Distribution Fairly common; uncommon to rare in the South and Florida. Year-round: the hairy occupies a wide range of coniferous and deciduous forests from sea level to tree line; such habitats are usually densely wooded, but in some areas are more open and parklike. Dispersal: although generally nonmigratory, individuals can disperse long distances, and small irruptive movements sometimes occur. Larger, more northerly birds regularly occur in the Northeast in fall and winter. Recorded in fall and winter on the southern plains and Pacific coast lowlands well away from breeding habitats.
Population Declines that have been noted in many areas are thought to be due to fragmentation of forests, loss of old-growth trees, and nest site competition with European starlings.

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
Vocal and plumage variation in the Bewick's wren is extensive, but all adults have a very long tail, tipped in white and flicked side to side. Eastern populations have disappeared from much of former range and are in continuing decline; conversely western populations are stable or increasing and/or expanding. Polytypic. Length 5.1" (13 cm).
Identification Long, mobile tail with attenuated body shape and active demeanor impart a lean look. Adult: one molt a year; sexes similar. Plumage variable, but all subspecies gray-brown to rufous-brown above, gray-white below, with long, pale supercilium. White-tipped tail has black bands. Juvenile: plumage subtly paler than adult's.
Geographic Variation Complex, extensive. Variation in darkness of upperparts generally follows Gloger's Rule, with paler populations in the arid Southwest and intermontane West vs. darker populations in the East and Pacific Northwest. Some or all populations exhibit color polymorphisms, and random individual variation is extensive; 10 subspecies north of Mexico; 5 others in Mexico.
Similar Species In most of range distinctive tail and supercilium prevent confusion with other wrens. Where populations of the eastern subspecies-group overlap with Carolina wren, confusion possible. However, Bewick's is not as brightly colored as Carolina, and the long, white-tipped, expertly maneuvered tail of Bewick's is diagnostic. Bill longer, thinner than Carolina's.
Voice Varied. In many places in the West, the Bewick's wren produces the local "mystery song." Call: variable, but many notes with raspy or buzzy quality, some quite loud. Song: most songs combine 1–5 short, breathy, buzzy, notes (sometimes run together in a short warble) with a longer, often loose, trill. Single buzzy or nasal notes may be introduced. Overall rhythm and tone remind many observers of the song sparrow, but elements in the song of Bewick's are usually thinner, buzzier. Songs of birds in the interior subspecies-group (eromophilus group) are simpler than those from the far West or east of the Mississippi.
Status and Distribution Western populations are mainly uncommon to fairly common; locally common. Eastern subspecies-group (bewickii group) declining; altus subspecies ("Appalachian" Bewick's wren), of questionable taxonomic validity, reduced to remnant populations; nominate bewickii subspecies, centered in Ozarks, declining. Abundance of any population may be underestimated by observers unfamiliar with song. Breeding: habitat types more variable than for most wrens, but shrubby vegetation always a requirement. Western individuals frequent arid juniper foothills, lush riparian corridors, residential districts, etc. Eastern subspecies-group formerly inhabited open woodlands; now prefers areas with human junk. Migration: western populations largely sedentary. Eastern populations migratory, with general pattern of dispersal south and west following breeding. Winter: as breeding, with generally warmer and lower-elevation component. Vagrant: extralimital records difficult to assess. Apparent vagrants in the East may be remnants, natural migrants, or actual vagrants. Apparent vagrants in the West may refer to advance-guard birds involved in range expansions. In lower Missouri and Arkansas River Valleys, distinguish between potential vagrants of eastern versus western populations.
Population Several western populations are increasing (e.g., in Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona). Subspecies altus once ranged northeast to New York and Ontario, but now limited to a few relict populations in the Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys. Competition with house wren thought a major factor in the Bewick's decline, but direct evidence for long-term competitive exclusion not proven.

Production 2012 BMW M5 will debut at Frankfurt Motor Show
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Apr 6th, 2011 at 6:58PM
Images and details of the BMW M5 Concept have been soaking up the Internet's bandwidth for the past few days now, but the fierce four-door hasn't even motored onto its plinth at the Shanghai Motor Show yet. Given its production-ready appearance and the Bavarians' propensity for such things, there appears to be precious little about the Shanghai show car that's actually conceptual, but even so, we haven't had a clear bead on where the salable F10-based BMW super saloon will show up – until now. Autoblog has learned that the 580+horsepower production M5 will debut at the Frankfurt... Read More

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katherine from Love these socks! I got a pair of these socks in blue two years ago, and the lilac color last year. These are my favorite socks - while all my others show significant wear after a year, these don't look much different than when I bought them (I'm wearing the blue right now and just checked for any thinning or pilling - there is NONE!). I'm asking for two more pairs for Christmas. They keep me comfy and warm all winter long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JenR from Great Color and Super Comfy! These socks are super soft, and very colorful! I got the purple ones 6 months ago, and went back for the burgundy ones recently. They wash up very well, and wear well.

and naw, i don't get what you mean as in "hot spring".
and naw, i don't get what you mean as in "hot spring".
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Brent Corrigan is so gross... I can't look at him without thinking that he looks like a washed up coke whore, even in the movies he did when he was like 18.
That's part of what people react defensively about, I think. And unfortunately in the U.S. it's almost impossible to talk about class and not talk about race. The overlap is enormous.
You aren't from the U.S., so I'm just pointing this out to you that that's part of the difficulty of having the discussion with Americans I think when it gets into the issue of how the genre speaks to "low class" or whatever else.
But the simple truth remains that my mind simply won't process the information that speaking can constitute music.
Buzzer just sent me a clip of a composition I'd classify as a "rhapsody". During half of the rhapsody, Beyonce sings R&B. I LOVE R&B, and have done so since the 70s.
The minute Kanye starts rapping, though, all my mind wants to think is,"God, I wish this chatterbox would be quiet."
Have you ever sat next to someone in the cafeteria who talks too much? My brain simply refuses to process rapping any other way. And heaven knows, I've tried. I really have.
I can honestly say that this doesn't have anything to do with musical elitism.
As I have said--and Lexy expanded upon--I think that if I listened to enough of it, my brain neurons might expand, and will learn to process rap music a different way. As a scientific experiment, I would certainly like to try it.
On an unrelated note, something interesting happened to me yesterday.
Have you ever seen any of those movies where a man from a past era, accidentally enters a time warp, and ends up in the future? He, not accustomed to the new ways, gets bewildered.
That happened to me.
At UNR (our state university),the old library had outgrown itself, so they moved to a much larger monstrosity of a building called The Knowledge Center. I went in yesterday to do some research, and got utterly bewildered by the new technology.
Nowadays, for many books, you have to ask a counterperson for the book. He enters a code, and a machine goes to the stacks (which stand 20 or 30 stories high), retrieves the book for the counterperson, who gives this book to you.
They completely removed the card catalog. (The old library had the card catalog for pre-1976 tomes). Nowadays, you have to log into a computer to search for any book, which requires a username and password.
It all seemed so Robocop-ish, so Terminator-ish, that I felt a sense of awe.
Speaking truthfully, though, I can't say I like the new system, because the casual reader cannot browse the shelves. I always thought browsing the shelves fun, because often, one accidentally runs into a book that catches his interest.
Johann -
What could you find in a library that you couldn't find on line???
2500 years ago they had the Oracle and the scrolls in Alexandria - today we have GOOGLE.
^ I wanted a recipe that I'd found in a Better Homes & Garden in the early 1940s. Or perhaps it came in a Life magazine from the era.
I looked online for it, Borg. Surprisingly, I found very few recipes for it all over the Internet, and the ones I did find didn't resemble it very much.
Have you ever heard of the automated system? Does your local library use it? I found a link:
Our library has no card catalog anymore, but the terminals are open for everybody to use to look up where something is. Then you actually walk over and get the book. I'm assuming ours will look like yours someday.
Lexy, I don't like the new system much, because it discourages browsing.
I used to spend hours in Getchell Library, just browsing. Sometimes, I'd just walk the orange-day-glow floors, and stop at random. Very often, I'd find something that would catch my interest, and it'd absorb me for the next few hours. Often, I'd lose track of time, until nature called.
Something else:
Remember seeing those guys who'd start weeping when they saw a theatre getting demolished? Christopher Reed did that once. Now, after watching a Youtube video about Getchell Library, the same thing happened to me.
What is it about seeing a building destroyed (or abandoned) that touches our emotions?
my library is intense.
I'm pretty sure I'd need fewer forms of identify to purchase a gun than get a library card.
There's something that SEEMS very permanent about a building. They often last as long as we humans do, and sometimes much longer. No one moves into a house, or even an apartment building, thinking of it as a "temporary edifice". It's a BUILDING. It's DONE. You picture it being there always and always.
^ I agree, absolutely love library especially historical. There something about the history of knowledge thats so profound and defines our evolution of thinking and discovery.
To elaborate further, you could say that when you visit a building as much as I visited Getchell--and that building gets destroyed or abandoned--a little bit of you dies. Maybe on a subconscious level it forces us to face our own mentality, in a way.
I will miss the browsing. I learned so much from those random browsings. Item: did you know that after a 30-day complete fast, the human brain permanently loses its taste for food? I learned this through one of my random browsings through Getchell.
I know I will have to let all of this go. Right now, I feel profoundly disappointed.
I still go into book stores and record stores and browse. It's the same idea.
I'm not sure we even have book and record stores around here anymore. Even most all of the video rental places are gone.
Eventually the bookstores will all be like Redbox. Choose if you want Twilight 1, Twilight 2, Twilight 3, Twilight 4 etc.
Then the machine craps it out, just like Bella's alien baby.
Sucks to be you, then. I love going into book stores and record stores, and just nosing around for hours.
Who doesn't? That's the downside to bookstores going obsolete. :c(
We do have Powell's Book store in Portland, about 50 miles from me.
They sell new and used books.
It's a city block large, and 3 or 4 stories tall. It's so large they offer a map to find your way around the store.
It's definitely a day trip when I go there. A couple hours just doesn't cut it.A few facts about the City of Books:
• 68,000 square feet packed with books.
• We buy 3,000 used books over the counter every day.
• Approximately 3,000 people walk in and buy something every day.
• Another 3,000 people just browse and drink coffee.
• We stock 122 major subject areas and more than 3,500 subsections.
• You'll find more than 1,000,000 volumes on our shelves.
We used to have Tattered Cover. It was a huge four-story building, with thousands of twists, turns, nooks and crannies...and books on every surface. A few years ago, they were forced to move due to a large rent increase. They moved the entire shop to a new location, and...it's just not the same. You can stand in one spot and see nearly the entire store, and it just doesn't have that FEEL that the old one did.
Is it ? I haven't been there for a while. Last I heard they laid off a bunch of people.
I skimmed their link - I didn't see anything about a closure, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Lex - you'd love it. It's full of nooks and crannies.
I thought someone posted something about that here a while back, but I could be thinking wrong.
Nooks and Crannies...
does that preclude cholesterol issues?
The bookstore Borg speaks of might have a lot more of those old books, because they sell both new & used books. I sure hope it doesn't go out of business.
I was watching Betty White's off their rockers. There are some pretty cute guys on the show.
I love this thread. We can talk about whatever, whenever, without someone getting antsy over "going off topic".
I went to the UNR library today, and spent two hours searching through old Life magazines. In the course of those studies, I read about something called "ideokinesis".
Ideokinesis somehow relates to using mental images to improve posture. The before- and after- pictures in the old Life magazine impressed me.
Anybody know anything about it? The internet doesn't contain much information about it.
I don't know if it's related to me having been quite sick recently, but I'm really struggling with one of my classes at the moment, and it's incredibly frustrating. I'm certainly not the most intelligent person out there, but I've never really had that much difficulty retaining information when a subject interests me. I just can't seem to concentrate at the moment though, and going over the subject matter repeatedly just leaves me feeling discouraged and exhausted. I need a break.
^Take that break man. I know when I'm not doing well in something I tend to push myself to the point of frustration and anger. You need to let your mind rest and refresh itself. then you can pick back up. Being sick probably doesn't help either.
You show courage the brave dream of
Gallop on my old warhorse
Oh snaps.
I sat here and ate like hell over the holidays, and now the scale is punishing me for it.
Not only did eat like a madman...but I slacked off on exercising.
My "diet" starts today. And I've been craving peanut butter cookies!!!
Just remember, sex burns calories…
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.
...I'm SO not helping, am I? Um, they were terrible. Hard, flavorless. Could barely force myself to finish the third one.
My bitch: I've typed "people" as "oeople" so many times, my iPad now suggests it as a word.
I found a recipe for a cake that contains 2 cups of heavy cream.
No need to serve it with milk, one would assume.
I'm still not over some of the hypfuckocrisy that was wafting through the air around the "Bender incident". I just found it incredible that so many were all 'no big deal' about it. Unbelievable.
Perhaps people here have really grown bored with the fakes and phonies and can't be bothered with such drama anymore, but as I've said before--we'll see how things go the next time such an incident happens. I'm counting on those torches to be kept under lock and key next time around.
Also--I LOVE talking about it because it apparently bothers some people SO MUCH.
I'd respond, but, y'know...
God, i so miss Merlin.

"Knock Down Power"
If you are going for straight knock down power. This stuff worked great for me.. Sprayed my dog down it is.. and just watched the dead fleas fall off. Plus is smells pleasant unlike most flea sprays.. as far as longevity goes. Well like anything else it doesn't last as long as they would make you believe or as long as you would like. But for straight knock out power. I'm impressed. And with no pesticide smell...
"Worked for me"
Our puppy had fleas pretty bad this summer, and after using this once his fleas fell right off of him. We also got rid of bed bugs with it.
"Alternative use"
I used this product unsuccessfully for fleas and ticks on dogs. It did not deter the fleas and ticks at all. However we had a sudden infestation of mosquitoes after a rare rain and they were tormenting my horses. I had this spray and tried against the mosquitoes. It was quite helpful, but it must be applied everyday.
I had high hopes for this product, but it didn't work -- at all. I even sprayed it directly on a young, Brown Dog Tick -- saturating it -- then placed the tick in a container over night. In the morning, I was dismayed to see the tick alive, well and active.

WHAT IS IT? 50 minutes of instructional video starring the "Belgian Waffle," Stefan Everts.
WHAT'S IT DO? Stefan Everts had an utterly dominating career in the FIM World Motocross Championships (throughout the last decade and half of the current one). During this time, Stefan rode for all of the big Japanese manufacturers and accumulated ten World Championships (split between all three classes). In fact, Stefan once won both an MX1 (450) and MX2 (250) Grand Prix on the same day. After retiring, Everts took a job at KTM as Race Director and now serves as Team Manager. In his new position, Everts coaches the factory KTM riders at his Spanish motocross school. "Stefan Everts MX Training and Racing Techniques" is a DVD intended to let the average racer benefit from Everts' knowledge, as well as gain insight into the style and technique of the motocross legend.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the "Stefan Everts MX Training and Racing Techniques" DVD.
ÿÿ (1) Subjects. The instructional video isn't limited to riding tips. Stefan covers the gamut of moto knowledge, from maintenance tips to bike setup to body positioning and cleaning your bike. Furthermore, while the focus of the video is on sand riding, most of the info applies to any terrain.
ÿÿ (2) Level of instruction. The information provided by the video doesn't delve very deeply into any specific subject. The tips are good reminders for any racer, but hardly worth the effort of an experienced rider. This definitely isn't the level of coaching Everts provided to Tommy Searle or Tyla Rattray.
ÿÿ (3) Footage. The best part of the DVD is the creative camera angles, including several different unique helmet views and aerial footage taken with a remote control helicopter. Even more impressive is the super-slow-motion footage. It is so slow that you can see the sidewall of the tire flex as it impacts the starting gate. Unfortunately, these scenes make up a small portion of the video.
ÿÿ (4) Actors. Suspension and maintenance experts join Everts with their own segments. While they certainly know their motorcycle specialties, they aren't comfortable in front of a camera. It doesn't help that English isn't their native language. They often sound like Commandant Klink.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? The instructional portions are dry. The content is diminished by its monotonous delivery. We turned the volume down and just watched the slow motion footage. Everts plans to produce a series of videos, and we can only hope that volume two delivers some useful pearls of wisdom.
It is really a one-star instructional video, but we gave it two stars because of the camera work.

Burton and Rome are local companies in my area, and I grew up shredding burton sticks. The past few years I've been slightly disappointed and hopped ship to the separated Rome company. I fell in love myself and bought this board for my girlfriend to teach her how to ride and she loves it. Pretty sweet design as well, I bought here the 148 and the deck colors are really nice in person if you're someone concerned about graphics. overall it would always recommend a rome board to anyone.
I was wondering what size board would be...
I was wondering what size board would be best for me. I weigh 58kg. This will be my first board I have purchased. Have been boarding a few years now.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Naomi from Soft, but degraded quickly I bought these for my husband because I thought he might like some soft, luxurious socks to wear at work. Well, he works at a machine shop and is on his feet all the time, and these just didn't make the cut. Also, these are listed as machine washable, but they pilled very quickly for us.

PORT JERVIS, N.Y. -- The death of a woman found inside a Port Jervis house fire Tuesday is ruled a homicide by the Orange County medical examiner.
Port Jervis Police are now investigating the murder of Tyrochelle Haughton, 35. Authorities say she was beaten and stabbed to death.
Officials had initially labelled the fire, which started around 11 a.m. Tuesday on Mountain Avenue as suspicious.
According to police, when firefighters arrived on the scene they discovered Haughton dead inside the home.
Haughton's neighbors say they're shocked. "It's kind of hard to understand that it happened. It doesn't really feel like it did happen," said Casey Schnoor, Port Jervis resident.
A 38-year-old man police have not yet identified - was able to escape from the burning home. There is no word on his relationship to the victim. He's currently in Westchester Medical Center receiving treatment for burns.

Left Communism--An Anarchist Perspective
international | the left | opinion / analysis Wednesday March 21, 2012 03:52 by Wayne Price - personal opinion drwdprice at aol dot com
Issues of Council Communism & "Bordigism"
Left Communism overlaps with Anarchism. What can anarchists learn from examining the opinions on various topics held by left communists?
Anarchists are often interested in a minority trend in Marxism (or set of trends) which was neither social-democratic (reformist) nor Marxist-Leninist. These views have been called libertarian Marxist, autonomist Marxist, ultra-leftist, libertarian communist, and left communist. Lenin wrote a famous pamphlet against these views, Left-wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder.
While such views go back to William Morris, the Britisher who knew both Engels and Kropotkin, the people I am writing about were active in the left of the social democratic parties before World War I. Unlike the social democrats, they opposed the imperialist war. They were thrilled by the October 1917 Russian Revolution; they were inspired by Lenin to split from the social democrats; and they formed revolutionary, Communist, parties, affiliated to the Third (Communist) International.
In the Communist International, perhaps most of the revolutionary workers who joined were politically to the left of Lenin and Trotsky (I will soon discuss just what this meant in terms of program). This is why Lenin wrote his pamphlet. Left oppositionists existed inside the Russian party (the Workers Opposition, the Democratic Centralists, the Workers Truth, etc.), all of which were banned in 1921. Far-left oppositionists existed elsewhere, such as the group around Sylvia Pankhurst in Britain. But the most significant, I think, were the German-Dutch left communists and the Italian left communists (see the historical studies by the International Communist Current, 1992; 2001). Todays far-left Marxists are still influenced by the traditions of these left communists.
The German-Dutch left was deeply influenced by Rosa Luxemburg (although she would not have agreed with all their opinions). Their most well-known leaders were Anton Pannekoek, Herman Gorter, and Otto Ruhle. Paul Mattick, Sr., moved from Germany to the US, where he was active in the IWW. Karl Korsch was close to them. The Leninist leadership of the German Communist Party got rid of this left wing by expelling the majority of their own party.
The Italian left communists, or Italian Fraction, was led, at first, by Amadeo Bordiga. He was a founder of the Communist Party of Italy, merging his grouping with that around Gramsci. He became the first General Secretary of the C.P.I., supported by the majority of the membership. Under the pressure of the International, Bordiga and his co-thinkers were forced out the party, the leadership being given instead to Gramsci and Togliatti. Under close supervision by the fascist police, Bordiga dropped out of politics for an extended period. But the groupings which followed his teaching were still called Bordigists, at least by others.
These two left communist tendencies were expelled from the Communist International. They were to the left of Lenin and also of Trotsky and the Trotskyists (who were also expelled from the International and its parties, not that long after). The two ultra-left tendencies had much in common politically, as I shall show. Yet they never merged, because of a major difference, namely that the German-Dutch trend wanted the capitalist state to be replaced by the rule of associated workers councils (which led to their being called council communists), while the Italian Fraction wanted it to be replaced by the dictatorship of their party (discussed below).
The following is not a history of these two left communist groupings, such as the organizations in which they were incarnated (for that, see the I.C.C. books). Instead, I will discuss some of the major issues raised by the communist left which are of interest to revolutionary anarchists--at least I find them interesting (also see Barrot & Martin, 1974; Goldner, 1997; Mattick, 1978; Pannekoek, 2003; Rachleff, 1976). Naturally this will be a simplification, since individuals differed in their interpretation of common ideas, since they changed their minds over time (over decades of tumultuous events), and since there were splits and (more rarely) unifications within each tendency.
Issues of the Left Communists: The Epoch of Capitalist Decay
Luxemburg, Lenin, and Trotsky believed that they were in the final epoch of capitalism, its epoch of decline and decay. The left communists fully agreed. Not that there could not be periods of upturn or areas of lop-sided growth (Lenin believed that imperialism would cause the industrial development of the colonized countries and the de-industrialization of the imperialist countries, which would become parasitic upon the colonized nations). But the overall direction was downhill, with continuing stagnation, periodic deep economic crises, recurrent wars of great devastation, and political attacks on bourgeois-democratic liberties. (They did not know much about ecological dangers.)

La creación de una tendencia que el llamó "comunalismo", criticada por muchos fundamentalistas "superrevolucionarios", que ni siquiera se toman la molestia de estudiarla a la luz de las experiencias actuales, constituye un camino de construcción altamente valorable y necesario, en los tiempos en que los movimientos sociales se encuentran con tan baja autoestima y grado de fuerza.

An anarchist critique of horizontalism Feb 24 3 comments
Horizontalism is an emerging term used to describe the key common characteristics of the waves of rebellion of the last decade. Occupy in 2011 was the peak to date but the term Horizontalism itself appears to originate the rebellion in Argentina after the 2001 banking crisis there. Marina Sitrin in her book on that rebellion says the term (in Spanish obviously) was used to describe the neighborhood, workplace & unemployed assemblies that emerged to form "social movements seeking self-management, autonomy and direct democracy."

Is It a State? Apr 30 8 comments
Marxists argue that anarchists really do advocate a state, or something indistinguishable from one, but do not admit it. But what anarchists advocate is the overturning of the existing state and the creation of a new, nonstate, association of councils, assemblies, and a popular mililtia. There is no such thing as a "workers' state."more >>

BMW celebrates 25 years of M3
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jul 9th, 2010 at 7:57PM
It's been 25 years since the BMW M3 first hit the scene. During that time, the car has evolved from a bantamweight fighter capable of taking on heavy hitters of the sports car world to the yardstick that the rest of the segment is measured. In the process, it has shed its bulging, steroid-riddled fenders for smoother sheetmetal and abandoned its four-cylinder engine for an out of this world aluminum mill with twice the pots, but its essence as a well-balanced sports coupe remains. The transformation wasn't easy. BMW sent the car through innumerable trials on the tracks and trails of the... Read More
