The story of Star Trek as told by producers Herb Solow and Bob Justman is an absolutely fascinating read. We get a detailed description of how the show was chosen for production, the creation of the two pilots and subsequent making of the series. The book pulls no punches; the constant battle against politics both with the studio and within the show itself is depicted in detail. It also doesn't shy away from a less than flattering depiction of some of the personalities involved - Shatner's jealousy of Spock's popularity is described, as is Roddenberry's constant attempts to milk every penny he could from his creation even if it was at other's expense. The book also deals with a few myths, such as the idea that it was the studios who forced all those women into skimpy outfits or forced Gene to drop the idea of a woman second in command.

Love the behind the scenes look at your creative process...ReplyDelete
Have a great day,
Very fun process you shared! My fave is definitely the last one with the soft roses, but my second fave is the one with the chalkboards and the gerber daisies! It has a fun modern look I think. Lots of work but worth it in the end!!ReplyDelete
They are all lovely, but the last one is my favorite!ReplyDelete
I love them all, it's too hard to choose a favorite! I have never really decorated for Valentines Day before, thank you for the inspiration. :)ReplyDelete
It has been a wonderful lesson in design to watch your creative process. Thank you!ReplyDelete
They are all pretty but in the end you chose the right one...it's perfect!ReplyDelete
I like the #2 with the vintage window & love as the winner.ReplyDelete
My second option would be #3 minus the greens and wilted roses, but instead the fresh roses you shared in the Love photo.
Beautiful work Lucy...

My favorite is LOVE with the faded roses. Second is the one with the greenery. All are gorgeous.ReplyDelete

You mantle is perfect. I am so glad I am not the only one who makes tweaks and changes like that! All your arrangements are sweet, but the top right is my absolute fave. Love it, now to go rearrange a couple displays in my own home!ReplyDelete
Have a great week, and stay warm!
So funny! They really are all pretty but my favorite is the soft pink roses - although the greenery is a close second! So, so pretty!!ReplyDelete
They are all lovely and inspirational, but I actually adore the gerbera daisies and chalk boards! Guess that would fit perfectly with my white mantle and black leather sofa...ReplyDelete
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your creative writing abilities has inspired me to start my own BlogReplyDelete

6/06 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1934: In the first game of a
doubleheader with the Red Sox at Fenway, Myril Hoag' substituting for
Babe Ruth' becomes the first Yankee to go 6 for 6 in a 9-inning game,
tying an AL record in the process. All of Hoag's safeties are signles, as the Yanks rout Lefty Grove and roll
to a 15-3 win. Boston win the nitecap' 7-3' to drop the Yanks to second
On other 6ths of June,,,
2006: Melky Cabrera has one of his greatest defensive moments of his Yankee tenure. Chien-Ming Wang pitches the Yanks to a 2-1 lead over Boston through seven. David Ortiz had homered for the lone Red Sox run in the third, and Manny Ramirez blasts a two-out, eighth-inning fastball from Kyle Farnsworth toward the visiting bullpen, with Cabrera and Johnny Damon in hot pursuit. Damon's unbridled jump for joy confirms the great catch to one and all, as the Scoreboard celebrated the Yankee rookie's transcendent moment by flashing: :The Melky Way!
Off the field, the Yankees, along with every other club in the majors, pass on Jeffrey Maier in the amateur draft. Maier will remain best known as the 12-year-old who interfered with a Derek Jeter fly ball in game 1 of the 1996 ALCS, in spite of having hit .403 in Division 3.
2004: Mike Mussina and Texas righty Ryan Drese face off in a pitchers' duel on a damp Sunday afternoon in the Bronx. Moose allows only two fly balls and three hits through eight innings, but Drese matches him. When Jason Giambi doubles 1-0 lead the Yanks had taken on a Bernie Williams fourth-inning homer with a two-out long ball of his own in the 8th, it looks like the home team wouldn't need it. But catcher Rod Barajas chases Mussina with a lead-off ninth-inning triple, and Mariano Rivera closes out the 2-1 Yankee win.
2001: Baltimore's first two hitters' Jerry Hairston' Jr and Mike Bordick' hit homers against New York. Despite a second round-tripper by Bordick' the Yankees win' 7-4' going ahead on an 8th inning grand slam by Jorge Posada.
1999: The Mets defeat the Yankees' 7-2 to end Roger Clemens' 20-game winning streak. Also ended is Derek Jeter's streak of reaching base in 53 consecutive games, as the orange and blue snap an 8-game losing streak of their own.
1997: Less than 24 hours after announcing one of the stranger promotions in baseball history for Father's Day' Mike Veeck, owner of the Charleston RiverDogs, the Yankees' class A affiliate, cancels plans to give free vasectomies on June 13th. Roman Catholic bishop David Thompson' a season ticket holder' led the complaints about the scheme. Veeck' who bought the RiverDogs this season' is the son of the legendary Bill Veeck
1990: A week after the Mets fire their manager' the struggling Yankees follow suit. Bucky Dent' the Yanks' skipper for just 89 games' is replaced by Stump Merrill' who managed the Columbus farm team.
1987: Needing a replacement for the injured Don Mattingly' the Yankees reluctantly trade knuckleballer Joe Niekro to the Twins for catcher Mark Salas.
1979: The Yankees select Don Marttingly in the 19th round of the amateur draft.
1965: Tom Tresh collects 4 homers in a doubleheader with the White Sox at the Stadium, 3 of them coming in the second game. In the nitecap, the outfielder also goes long from both sides of the plate for the third time in his career The Yanks sweep the twinbill, 6-1 and 12-0.
1958: At the Stadium, Mickey Mantle homers in the first off the Indians' Dick Tomanek' then ties the game at 4 with a 3-run tomahawk off the Tribe starter. New York win 6-5.
1955: At Briggs Stadium' the Yankees blast four homers to beat the Tigers and Bob Miller' 7-5. Eddie Robinson connects for a pair of two-run homers' while Billy Hunter' Gil McDougald and Mickey Mantle add round-trippers. Mantle's shot is to dead center' 440 feet away.
Billy Hunter
1954: In the second game of a doubleheader at the Stadium, Orioles' catcher Clint Courtney makes an unassisted double play in a 7-5 win against the Yankees. New York take the opener as well, 5-2' as Mickey Mantle belts a two-run homer off Don Larsen' who is on his way to a 3-21 season.
1944: The Yankees have the day off, along with the rest of the major league clubs -the country's focus is turned toward Europe as allied forces invade
occupied France on D-Day. Yesterday was an off-day as well after all teams played
Saturday doubleheaders.
1931: At the Stadium' the Indians take a 7-4 lead into the 9th when Ed Morgan and Joe Vosmik single off Yankee reliever Jim Weaver. Willie Kamm lines to Lou Gehrig who starts a 3-6 triple play. The Tribe still win, 7-5.
1926: Player-manager Tris Speaker of the Indians' sporting a lifetime .350 BA' startles players and fans alike when he directs pitcher George Uhle to pinch-hit for him in a close contest with the Yankees at Cleveland. Uhle is a good-hitting hurler' but he flies out. The Yankees win' 6-5.
1920: Carl Mays allows 6 runs-3 unearned-but the Yankee submariner earns his seventh straight win over the Athletics' 12-6. Babe Ruth is 3-for-3 with a stolen base to lead the 15-hit attack.
1913:The Yankees,
on their way to a 7th-place finish' extend their winless streak to 13 games(12 losses, and a tie with Boston on May 24)' losing 2-1 to
Cleveland. New York shortstop Rabbit Maranville is thrown out three times trying to steal home.
1907: Bill Dickey is born.

Yon-Ka Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good self-tanner and after-sun moisturizer.
Weaknesses: Expensive; mostly irritating cleansers; almost every moisturizer, serum, mask, toner, and treatment product is loaded with irritating fragrant oils; claims are ludicrous to the max; none of the products with SPF ratings contain active sunscreen ingredients; no reliable AHA or BHA products; skin-lightening products do not contain ingredients that fade discolorations, but do contain ingredients that can make discolorations worse; terribly formulated products to treat blemishes.
Yon-Ka Paris is a French line of cosmetics with a decidedly French accent, but that is where the élan of this pricey skin-care line starts and stops. The ads for Yon-Ka Paris declare that the company has a passion for the "world of plants … that nourish and heal the body and soul and restore the beauty of skin and spirit." At these prices, that's the least you should expect. Adding to the allure is a description of the name Yon-Ka. "Yon" refers to a river with rapid, purifying water meant to symbolize the energy these products are said to provide skin; "Ka" is an ancient Egyptian term that symbolizes "the vital and eternal force that is inherent in each individual." Taken together, the name is supposed to represent constant natural regeneration. Unfortunately, when you get down to the product formulas, most of them contain enough irritating ingredients that skin will suffer from degradation rather than regeneration.
Almost every Yon-Ka moisturizer contains a litany of problematic ingredients, the dastardliest of which are citrus oils, thyme, rosemary, and lavender. Others show up, but the aforementioned are the most consistent, and it's amazing how many disparate claims are assigned to the products they're in. Apparently, all it takes are fragrant oils mixed with standard, mostly benign cosmetic ingredients (thickeners, waxes, and a few water-binding agents) to not only firm skin but also erase acne, banish discolorations, reduce wrinkles, purify, and on and on.
Yon-Ka is available in many spas, and their Web site discusses how concerned they are about being selective with distribution. The logic, however flawed, is that they take so much care in creating the products and advising those who retail them how to sell them to their clients that they couldn't possibly let just anyone sell their aromatic blends. Believe me, any aesthetician exclusively retailing Yon-Ka is someone you don't want dealing with your skin (assuming he or she will only be using Yon-Ka products). We're not challenging the credibility or skills of such an aesthetician, just their judgment in deciding to sell a skin-care line so fraught with products that cannot possibly help skin. Anyone seriously interested in taking the best possible care of their skin could care less about a spiritually aromatic spa experience, and instead should demand products that are appropriate for their skin type and condition. Yon-Ka offers none of that.
What Yon-Ka does afford is a sensory experience that may relax you; it's too bad that your skin will suffer as a result. And what about the fact that Yon-Ka's daily routines do not include a sunscreen? Sun protection isn't even discussed, and the handful of Yon-Ka products with SPF ratings do not list active ingredients, which is as reliable as shopping for food without knowing what's in the package.
Even more deplorable is the company's view of suntanning. We can't imagine trusting your skin's health to a company that sells products that encourage you to get a tan. A skin-care line that turns a blind eye to the issues of sun protection and cumulative sun damage is as unethical as it is ignorant. Yon-Ka may be at the forefront of aesthetic aromatherapy, but that's about olfactory benefit, and in no way does that translate to smart, efficacious skin care. If you need to smell something nice, light a candle or wave perfume over pulse points, just keep it away from your skin.

How can I get access to the many services offered by the American Cancer Society? I hear they offer so many things, but I just don't know where to go on their website or what would be good for me.
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at the Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Presbyterian, responds:
The American Cancer Society is a WONDERFUL organization! Check out the blog I wrote for Oncolink which details many of the great programs offered.
The first step is to CALL THEM! 1-800 ACS 2345; this will help you get started with the ACS and they will able to tell you what programs are available to you specifically in your geographic area.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the transcript from Finding the Cancer Resources You Need.
Apr 27, 2011 - Black cancer patients are more willing to expend their personal financial resources in order to extend life compared to white cancer patients, according to a study published online April 26 in Cancer.

WASHINGTON - The Harry Nice Bridge connects Charles County in Maryland and King George County in Virginia. For years there's been talk of building a new bridge, but recent findings by a state agency show that the task is easier said than done.
"The next step is going to be a little while in the coming," says Harold Bartlett, who runs the Maryland Transportation Authority, the agency that operates the bridge. "We don't really have funding planned for the replacement of the bridge, nor are funds immediately identified or available for that."
A six-year environmental study was completed last month on how to replace the 72- year-old bridge, a project that would cost about $850 million.
According to Bartlett, one possibility for funding the project could come from a few different federal agencies interested in helping to replace the bridge.
The Maryland Transportation Authority says that 6.8 million cars cross the Harry Nice Bridge every year.

Anserine tendinobursitis syndrome is a pain to the inner part of the leg, just below the knee joint. It is at a location where three tendons meet and connect to bone. The muscles include the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus. There are also one or more bursae at this location. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that decreases friction between bones and muscles.
When bursae become inflamed it is called bursitis . When tendons become inflamed it is called tendonitis . For this pain syndrome, the exact cause is unknown, but it may involve injury or inflammation to the tendons or bursae.
This may be a treatable condition. Contact your doctor if you think you may have this syndrome.
This condition is most commonly caused by repeated stress to the knee. A direct injury to the knee can also cause this condition
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of this injury. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- You are a runner
- Osteoarthritis
- Tear to meniscus
- Obesity
Change in running routine
- More miles
- Sudden increase in workout
- Tight hamstrings
- Flat feet
- Genu valgum—knees touching
- Feet that roll inwards (overpronation)
- Diabetes
If you have any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to this condition. These may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Pain to inside part of knee
- Knee tenderness
- Swelling
- Pain worsens with bending and straightening of knee
- Pain worsens with exercise
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be asked to show exactly where you feel the pain. Often diagnosis is made by physical exam alone. Sometimes an x-ray is performed to rule out other injuries.
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
You will be instructed to rest the affected knee until the pain goes away. You may also be advised to ice your knee 3-4 times a day to decrease the inflammation.
You may be referred to physicsl therapy.
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) help with pain and inflammation. Your doctor will advise you which NSAID to take and how often.
You may also receive a steroid injection directly into your knee to relieve pain and inflammation.
To help reduce your chance of developing anserine tendinobursitis, take the following steps:
- When increasing your workout or run, do so gradually.
- Stretch before and after your workout.
- Wear appropriate shoes for the specific activity and your feet.
- Follow your doctors directions to manage any underlying conditions

Damn you recruited Clint Eastwoods voice double? This is awesome.
'Do ya feel lucky, punk?'
I was really worried about doing this hardmode... but theother week i said screw it we will do it (in 10 man) and if u have good heals and a relatively geared tank this is an easy hard mode..
a good tip is pop a shadow resistance pot when the add spawns with an aura up and it makes that part a joke
I'm doing this HM tonight on 25man, I hope we can make it.
I like the movie.
I hope u get a new mic soon, there is an annoying high tone beep in it.
Really excellent video. The different perspectives and clear descriptions of what is occurring during the fight make for an excellent guide.
His voice sounds like a cross between Clint eastwood and batman XD
I think I've figured out how to fix the mic clicking in and out between paragraphs. Talking louder seems to have helped as well.
Nice guide, the only thing that I think need to be added is that the fight is doable with only one tank.
As a warrior I have solo tanked it on our R25 kill and multiple times in R10.
In my opinion, using two tank is a dps and healing power loss.
I'd like to have seen some mention on how to deal with the surges. Since the fight needs to be quick, and you'll encounter them during the Animus phase, kiting him isn't wise (and that's ignoring that you could kite him away from dps range, or get a shadow crash while kiting.)
I think the twotank idea isn't bad, though. Especially on tenman it only costs you one to half a dps, and it allows the healers to waste less mana overhealing.
Splug, you basically sound exactly like how I imagined you'd sound.
Well done Splug.
The DK tank site: pwnwear.com.
We normally use a paladin as our Animus tank. He rotates hand of sacrifice and divine sacrifice during each surge, in addition to the General tank's own cooldowns when available. During the Animus phase, I run IBF for the first surge, and the second one will occur during the holy/ret paladins using their Divine Sacrifice chain (if the Animus isn't dead by then).
With regard to DBM and shadow crashes during the animus phase, can one player (or raid lead/raid assist) put vezax as a focus to still get the warnings, so that all dps can focus the animus?
We had rogues and warriors keep him on focus for interrupts, and that did not cause the notifications to be generated. The rogues were not promoted, but one of the warriors should have been. We did not test it very rigorously; I just got yelled at whenever I try to change targets and help throw some damage.
Hello there Splug.
First of all, nice videos you are making: ) Keep it up.
But I have a question for you, any chance that you can upload your addon pack you have in this video, so it becomes exactly like you have it?: ) Having some problem finding those addons that you are using.
I'm currently experiencing some technical difficulties with Pitbull. It seems to die on any characters with runes/runic power. I'm using AGUF as a stand-in on my deathknight while I wait for this issue to be resolved. I'll see about getting it uploaded somewhere over the weekend, though. Keep in mind it would be set up for a 1920x1200 resolution, and I have no idea what it would do if you tried to run it at something else.

She's America's newest sweetheart, tightly wrapped in a 4′ 11″ and 96-lb package, who catapulted herself to an Olympic gold medal in the Women's All-Around competition in gymnastics during the London 2012 Olympics this past Thursday. She's fierce, gorgeous, a delight and up until 4-5 months ago an unknown in the sport.
So, as I delayed blogging last week to read about the history of women's gymnastics and obsessively read the results of each of Gabby's tumbles I thought, "wow, this is the first time I've noticed gymnastics since the '96 games!" I didn't even know who Shawn, Nastia and Carly were! The only name I remembered was Dominique Dawes. I think that speaks volumes. It speaks volumes to how much Gabby Douglas means to this sport and to the African-American community. On a whole, we're used to being underrepresented in the media. However, just as the pride we felt when Obama won the presidency, we're overcome with positive, hopeful and aspirational feelings. OH, and she was also the only gymnast on the "Fab Five" team to perform all four routines. And she nailed them…helping the U.S. team to also win the team competition. She has two more competitions coming up: uneven bars and balance beam. I hope she wins gold on both of those as well!
To Gabby: I love you, you're amazing, beautiful and superbly talented! I hope to see in the 2016 Olympics in Rio!
P.S. I also had other favorites this season. Mckayla Maroney and Aliya Mustafina. Yes, I know Mustafina is Russian, and we're not supposed to like them, however, did you see her glares? Her eye cuts, her glittered filled hair and pursing lips. Iconic! Please join a reality show in the U.S.!

A new trial reaches the same conclusion for an Ithaca man charged with murder. The judge declared a mistrial Wednesday after jurors in the Corbin Whyte trial reached an impasse. The first trial also ended in a mistrial in May 2011. Tamara Lindstrom has been following the case, and tells us what's next.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- It's been two years since Paul Garcia was found shot to death in an Ithaca apartment complex. And two trials later, still no conviction in the killing.
Corbin Whyte, 28, is charged with two counts of murder, robbery, and tampering with physical evidence related to the crime. But after four days of deliberations, the jury couldn't agree on a verdict. Forcing the judge to declare a mistrial, and leaving attorneys...
"Disappointed. Gratified at the hard work the jury did, but disappointed that the one juror could not be brought around to see reason as we see it," said defense attorney James Baker. "There's a lot of evidence in this case the jurors have to weigh and deliberate upon. And especially given the tenor of what the jurors' questions were, it was clear that they just had some issues that they were trying to work out," said assistant district attorney Andrew McElwee. "I think the evidence is very strong, and I anticipate that we'll go through it again and try this a third time if that's what it takes."
The prosecution announced they're prepared to go ahead with a new trial any time. It's a prospect the defense hopes to avoid.
"If it has to be done again, it will be done again," Baker said. "But hopefully cooler heads will prevail and it will be seen that there's really no reason and no basis to move forward against Corbin Whyte on this."
While a new jury will be selected, the evidence against Whyte remains the same.
"Certainly we'll tweak the manner in which we present it and see if there's a way we can make it more presentable and easier to understand for the jury," McElwee said.
But the defense says the evidence just isn't there.
"I remain confident that Corbin Whyte will never be convicted of the serious crimes he's charged with here," Baker said. "I remain hopeful that the District Attorney's office will come to its senses and stop prosecuting."
After the trial, Whyte was taken back to the Tompkins County Jail where he is being held on $25,000 bail. Baker says he'll try to have that amount reduced, while McElwee wants it increased. The judge will make a decision on that next month.
After thanking the jury, Judge Rowley said there was nothing wrong with the jury or the system, it was just a difficult case. Meanwhile, Whyte will face previous drug trafficking charges in Chemung County.

Using Goblins As A Player Character
As a proud supporter of the Goblin Defense Fund, I haven't been too wild about recent iterations of the goblin race in D&D. Kobolds are usually my default Magic Missile fodder, to be honest. I wanted my goblins to be a challenge to role-play. I didn't just want green cutesy mischances halflings. I wanted a race barely holding on the lower rungs of civilization, used to being beaten down at every turn. Below is how I describe them to my players:
"Long considered a pestilence by mankind (as well as the other races), many goblins still are bandits and thieves preying on travelers and the like, or slaves and servants across Irrin. However, 90 years ago, one band of slaves on a ship destined for Cerras [a cut-throat sort of merchant's haven] managed to fight off their slavers, and wrecked upon the rocky shores near the High Elves' Elder Forest [not a good place for most non-elven races to be]. Amazingly, these goblins succeeded in creating a miniature society. They took to fishing, scavenging, and basically to living a modest, simple life.
Somehow, word spread of this goblin settlement, and many escaped slaves attempted to make their way there (though most died along the way). Cerras was determined to wipe out this embarrassing settlement, but couldn't, for two reasons: first, it was too close to High Elf territory, and they did not wish to present a show of force in the High Elves' backyard. Second, Hastal [an amalgamation of sea principalities that are the main rival of Cerras], seeing a chance to humiliate their long-time rival, put the settlement at least nominally under their protection.
The civilized goblins are still very few in number, and will often (though not always) be treated poorly in every area except their new homeland. Most others encountered are servant and slaves, with a very few practicing (mostly in slums) as free tradespeople. At the goblin's free settlement, their defense consists largely in the potent shamanistic and elementalist traditions of their religion. Lifespan is 35-50 years, much less in the wild".
In short, being a goblin in our campaign isn't easy. Most folks think of you as low-class vermin, and even if you are a free goblin, you know there are many places in the world, you would be clapped in irons for the slave market straightaway. Yet for all that, it remains a fairly popular choice in our games, which I suppose speaks a bit to our "zero-to-hero" preference in play.
Do any of you allow goblins or other "monster" races in your settings?

So I guess goblins can be new anti-heroes for PCs to play.

Generally, I don't allow "monster" races as player characters, but after your post, I might consider it in the future. However, I'd probably only allow one monstrous character per party, otherwise it might be so difficult to do ordinary things (like get a room at the inn or even just gain entry into a city in the first place) that it would hamper the campaign.
I like your goblin idea. Good work.

I had two players play goblins in my OD&D Verbosh campaign. It was a grand addition to the party. Unfortunately they got TPK'd on a crypt level, caught between ghouls and a gelatinous cube...

Actually, in our group's games it's nearly a 50/50 split between 'normal' player races and monstrous races. Our normal GM is a huge fan of the Savage Species book and tends to create various piecemeal monstrosities from it; the game he's currently running has an ogre, avoral, naga, satyr and centaur as various PCs or cohorts. (That's 3.5E D&D, of course.)
I'm doing prep work for a 4E Eberron game right now, trying to convert everything over so that it's ready to go. While none of my players have chosen goblinoids for their PC's race, I made it very clear that it was an option, and a pretty good one. Goblinoids in Eberron have a VERY different society than the 'default' social structure in most games. Likewise, there's a new nation in the Eberron setting run by a trio of hags and claiming to be a haven for other intelligent monsters. Hopefully when/if some of my PCs die, they'll choose one of those options for their new character.

Thank YOU!!!!
In my Dark Ages, littlelings (halflings) are damn close to what you describe as goblins. They are reviled by humans as little more than rodents.
I never thought of them as slaves or hired help.
Thank you again! I'm going to link this blog for my campaign group to see. One of my players is introducing a littleling next game and your post gives us a LOT of thought.

This reminds me of a webcomic I used to read. It always made me want to play in (or run) an orc/goblin-centric campaign.

I've let monsters in as player races for years and never had any problem with it. Sometimes it just doesn't fit in with the story and/or the rest of the group, but overall it works just fine.
It worked in D&D 3.0, it worked in 3.5, and it still works in 4e.

@bonemaster: If folks would like, sure. Playing them as an honest individual trying to scratch beyond their perceived station in life seems to work nicely.
@ryan: Very true. I always warn my players that playing an Ogre or Goblin can make mundane tasks challenging, and that it is a role-playing challenge.
@john: Well, I hope they at least had a good run! :)
@grant: Very true. Eberron does offer a different take on goblins and the like. You can't just go around hacking at them with impunity--there can be legal and political condequences!
@chgowitz: You are very welcome! Happy if I've helped in any way.
@cryo: Thanks for the link!
@psynister: Good deal. I do think the concept can be easily adapted in a number of games/system.

In my current Alder King game the players start out on the side of the forest king trying to get rid of all the humans encroaching on its territory. They live in Gretzneck ripped from Rappan Athuk, a goblin city. I said goblins were a player race and one of them did pick a goblin. It's working out great. I'm thinking of the goblin city from the Crumrin comics as we play.

First one on the list: a simple dress in the fabulous fabric American Elk Wildlife from Exclusively Quilters, bought on Ebay many months ago. Dresses in photographic prints are pretty popular here in Belgium, as they are made by hip (read: unaffordable) brands like Dominique Ver Eecke and Inge van den Broeck.
I stuck to my traditional rule: complex fabric; simple pattern. The bodice is a simple model with a blind zipper in the back; the skirt is a rectangle gathered at the waist.

Why send a child to summer camp?
Summer camps give children a wonderful break from the stresses of home, school, and commercialism. They get to live some "real childhood", playing games in the fields and woods, and making new friends while doing so – an opportunity hard to find in the world of 2012. They really relax in a fantastic setting, and have a great holiday week with others their own age from all over Britain, and with young and enthusiastic supervisors.
To spend a week away from TVs and computers, playing,laughing and doing lots of varied activities together, is not only enormous fun, it also helps children develop new interests and enthusiasms, also social skills, independence and selfconfidence.
Many people who have attended summer camps run by ATE tell us what an important part of their childhood the holidays were, and how much they have helped them grow up and develop confidence.
Why you can trust ATE
ATE is a not-for-profit Educational Trust, with a Governing Council of leaders in the world of education who believe in the value of summer camps. The Council makes sure that keeping children safe, both physically and emotionally, is ATE's top priority.
All ATE staff hold an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau certificate, and they must all start by attending a rigorous residential training course.
During a Superweek a child is supervised 24 hours a day within a small group looked after by a Monitor, who has the help and support of the Director, Assistant Director and Matron.
There has never been a significant accident on an ATE holiday. The staff of 2012 will work hard to maintain this impressive record.
The premises used for Superweeks
Centres are boarding schools, field study centres, etc., hired during holiday periods. They all have good grounds and plenty of room indoors. The standard of accommodation is hostel rather than hotel, but clean and pleasant. Children will sleep in a dormitory or small group room.
Domestic arrangements
Menus are nutritionally balanced and in line with current healthy eating guidelines. We also cater for any specific dietary requirements.
Children are not generally asked to do domestic chores other than keeping their own things and their own space tidy.
Contacting ATE while your child is on Superweek
Children who have travelled with ATE will all ring home the first night or early the following morning, to say they have arrived safely. After this call, ATE asks parents not to ring their children, nor to ask children to ring them. It could take the Director a lot of time finding children for phone calls. But there is also a more important reason. It is our long experience that children settle better and get more from the holiday if "left to get on with it."
Of the few children who are a bit homesick in the first day or two, ATE is able to help almost all get through it and be really enjoying themselves by the end – a real step forward in developing independence. This would be harder if there were regular phone conversations with home.
If there were any problems, Superweek staff would always ring parents and keep them informed. Parents are also welcome at any time to phone the Director at the Superweek for reassurance about their child.
About Superweek staff
Monitors are young people over the age of 17 ½ and usually aged between 18 and 21. They are recruited from 6th Forms, Universities, etc.
At their training week they learn lots of activities, and also take part in sessions dealing with safety, care, organising bedtimes, resolving problems, building a happy group, and so on. They go home from the course having had a great experience, enthusiastic to work with children, and with a positive attitude to what a Superweek can offer.
At the Superweek children are divided into groups of 6 to 9. Each group has its own Monitor, who is known by his/her first name, eats at the children's table, sleeps in their dormitory, and is a real part of the group. He/she is seen more as an older brother or sister than a supervisor, but since the Monitor is there all the time discipline or safety problems can be minimised. For many children the friendship with their Monitor is a highlight of the week.
Directors and Assistant Directors have all worked as Monitors on many occasions, and then undertaken further training for the increased responsibility. All Assistant Directors are over 21, Directors are over 23 and many of these senior staff members are practising teachers.
Each Superweek will have one Director, one or two Assistant Directors, and from five to ten Monitors, according to the number of children in the holiday.
Other Staff include a matron, usually a trained nurse, who sees to any cuts and bruises, administers medication, etc., also a catering and domestic team who do all the kitchen and dining room work plus cleaning.
How children are allocated to groups
The majority of children attending Superweeks come on their own. They all get to know each other and make friends quickly (it is part of the Monitor's role to make sure they do). Children can however also be accepted with a friend or a relative.
Friends of the same age and sex are likely to be in the same group. Groups, however, are usually by age, so a 9 year-old and an 11 year-old would probably not be together. Children are encouraged to mix and get to know everyone, and children in different groups see plenty of each other every day.
We would not accept a request for a large group of friends to be in the same group. This would make it hard for others who had come without a friend.
Children with special needs
ATE is happy to accept any child with special needs who can be adequately looked after by an ordinary concerned 18 year-old who has no specific training in special needs. we aim to be as inclusive as possible, so do ring us to talk about a specific child's care needs.
