Hacklopedia of Beasts: Beautiful. Pricey.
That said, this sucker's going to cost $59.99, and I think I'm to that point in my life where I'm neither young nor old enough to spend that much on a supplement or core book, if you understand my meaning. I think Kenzer hit the price point right with Hackmaster Basic, but I can't see myself investing that much in a product, no matter how nice it is. I've got too many game books already I'm not using, and there's too much free/cheap stuff besides to roll the dice on something that expensive. Plus, aesthetic have never been on the top of my list, though I suppose there is something to be said for that "wow" factor.
I don't mean to single Kenzer out, because they're a) super-nice guys, and b) clearly have something that's working for them, but these days elaborately-produced, pricier books don't jive with my "budget" gamer realities.

It's one of those things that has been talked about before. Seems there are people that think if a book isn't all in color and have unrealistic (IMHO) artistic values, they don't want to spend the money. The funny thing is that the artwork that still impacts me today is the older pen and ink stuff from people like Trampier. That's not to say the current stuff is bad. It's just my opinion that many games could get away with less and perhaps even drop the price of their games a bit. Of course, I will admit that I'm not sure how expensive it is print anything. I just now that all the "color" modern gamers expect really increases the price of something. Like you, I don't have free money to just spend on everything that looks flashy.

I'll go $60 for a book, if it's as nice as this one looks to be. That's about my limit, though. White Wolf is looking at charging $100 for their limited anniversary V:tM book--THAT is outrageous.

Is $60 too much for that book? Maybe not. It's nice looking and a lot of work went into it. It's still cheaper than the 8-9 volumes of HM4. Will I pay $60 for it? No. I bought the pdf at Garycon 3 and that will do fine for when/if I run a HmB game.

As nice as it is, I'd have trouble coughing up $60 as well. I do like their products though.

I just paid $100 for the Duke Nukem "Balls of Steel" edition even though I knew it would be crap. I have gotten maybe 8 hours enjoyment out of it.
$60 for a game? or even an expansion? Well within my budget (as my room full of impulse boardgames will attest).
I am not trying to encourage people to buy this game. For a long time printing a free RPG was too expensive for my budget. I am merely putting myself out there as an example of those who will buy books at such prices.
And I will not buy books without certain production values. The art style can be simple and B&W, but it still has to be good and evocative. Hell it can be public domain art, just find good art that is public domain. It must be hard cover is another demand. Ideally it will be classy on its cover, this Kenzer book has a nice stylized cover I enjoy.
The question is that is one sale to me worth alienating the 3 to 4 people who posted before me? Depends what amount of that is profit.

Yeah, I definitely think it's a relative value thing. Doubtless gamers with larger budgets or different value assignations won't blink. I have no doubt many Hackmaster fans will buy it and be thrilled. Heck, I hope they do—Kenzer's good people. But it's not where I'm at just now.
$100 for V:tM? Ouch.

This, for me, is one of my major problems with modern game books. They look great-they play for crap. Brown text on brown backgrounds. Every page you keep expecting a leprechaun to pop out of the page from all that rainbow.
People teeter on this, but for me I'm a fan of AD&D 1e for many reasons and this is one. I want black text on a white page. I want art when it is necessary. A creature book would be the place for the most art but only for non-iconic creatures. I know what an orc looks like. I know what a skeleton looks like. And well done line art is a favorite.
The most important aspect of any book-binding. Nothing I hate worse than having pages popping out after a short period of time.
A color cover is nice, line art for new elements and good binding. Drop that for $19.99-$29.99 and that's a winner.

I've been eyeballing this book for a long time. Damn you Kenzer! Sixty is a lot, but I just plunked down over $90 for the Tome of Horrors. The reason I splurged was it's giant and will be able to beat up all my other gaming books and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it since I write adventures for the S&W system. The Hacklopedia would be a vanity buy. I just want it cause I loved all the other hacklopedias, but I've never used them.

- George Fields said...
For a book that is $60, it's a matter of "Will I get my money out of this?"
In this case, yes, I will. The new HackMaster is my game of choice. I pre-ordered this and have been updating the pdf that came with the pre-order as it's been ready.
If your income is limited, and/or you don't play HackMaster, it's probably a book to pass on.
All that said, the pictures I've seen tell me this is probably the most beautiful RPG book ever publsihed.

It's definitely got the aesthetics down, I'll give it that!

I've preordered this book and received the .pdf. It looks really great and the production values are wonderful.
What sets this book apart for me is not just the great artwork, binding and ability to hold up but also the Monster Ecology that is placed in here. There is so much information about individual monsters that a good GM could base an adventure off the information.
I also like the way the monsters are sized up against humans and the tracks as well. Even if you're not a Hackmaster (new version) player I think you'll enjoy this book. I don't play much Hackmaster but know that I'll use this book for other systems easily.

The layout and stuff looks sharp but the actual drawing of the orc looks kinda "stock" to me. Is it all the same artist?
- June 20, 2011 at 5:22 PM
- Revil Fox said...
@Zak S It is all the same artist. The theme of the book is that of an actual monster book found within the game world. So all of the art is sketch drawings like you see here. I've had the PDF of this book for a while now, and the whole package is simply amazing. I can't wait to get my dead tree copy next month.

There are exactly two class-based roleplaying games I like: HackMaster 4e and HackMaster 5e. So we'll definitely be picking up the HoB. Especially since $60 beats the heck out of HM4e's HoB comprised of eight $20 books and this is a MUCH higher quality book than those were.
- June 21, 2011 at 1:36 AM
- OlmanFeelyus said...
Most commenters here are talking about the art and production values, but I think what makes the Hacklopedia truly intriguing is the content! I mean, come one, each two-page spread is like an encyclopedic entry on a monster species, with most of it being rich, nigh-anthropological flavour text. Whether you like that or not, that seems to be much more interesting to debate about its worthiness than the price tag.

I just got my copy over the weekend. It IS, IMO, the best Monster Book ever published. Not just for the production values, but also for the content. It has every thing you need to GM encounters with each monster. Maps of where on Kalamar each one typically ranges. Encounter stories/notes In Character from NPCs. In most cases it has drawings of tracks that PCs will find. Pretty much everything that a GM needs to bring an encounter with each monster to life.

No sorry Guido I do not think from that interview clip Paxman has regained his touch at all .
He seemed overawed by the tranquility of the open air setting ( away from the pressure cooker London studio ) and seemed for most of the time to be basking supinely in Berlusconi s non stop albeit impressive verbosity .
In short the killer questions were lacking :
a) are you really guilty of tax evasion /fraud ?
b) did you really rely on mafia support during your time in govt. ?
c) is it true you cut corners on your way to the top in business by bribing judges and the like ?
Sorry Jeremy , admittedly Sky will snap you up at four times BBC wages but but you will be descending gracefully into the shoes of Mr Parkinson who currently sells insurance .
Who cares cocky?
Belusconi's hair fasinates me, is it painted on his head. I like that music, but wasn't it from the "Godfather", there is something in Italian politics that seems to reflect the politics of ancient Rome before the downfall.
it is not possible to drill straight through the temple.
No. 2?
If you haven't already voted, vote UKIP tomorrow. If not for your country then for your children.
Don't worry sunshine LibLabConners are leaking support as if there is no tomorrow, watch for all the LibLabConners attacking UKip and attacking each other, just like ferrets in a sack.
Silvio is a great politician and a friend of mine. The local elections here on thursday are causing me a bit of a problem. I had both these candidates for the justice and Anti-Corruption Party arrested and their computers confiscated, by my masonic police buddies but they are still standing against me. Looks like I am going to have to fiddle the vote as usual with my Asian buddies, that is those who on not on jihad in Syria. Boaz.
what an old crook Silvio is, calling for a European central bank to underwrite the debts of the Euro countries, in other words, create an entity that can print money then sell it to the banks to distribute to joe pleb who pays for the interest with profits going to the central bank. A con job par excellence, and not least of which because the European central bank already exists.
I really don't know what to do about the Judge last week Handy. Try as I might, I could not get one of our's in. Let us hope I have more luck with the Judge for the trial on 16 June. Jahbulon.
I wouldn't have said interviewing an old hasbeen like berlusconi was indicative of paxman getting his sparkle back. Surely he could have found someone more influential, more interesting, more literate, on the eu political scene than that to interview?
Yeah, not really the most meaningful exit… It seems more like an insult to him… Giving him someone to interview that doesn't matter.
Paxo will be dribbling into post-TV oblivion unless he does Come Dancing.

You don't understand Italian politics. No one does actually. I shall be back having paid my penance.
How about Nigel Farage?
Paxman is just a cynical overpaid lefty. Time he was put out to pasture and some new cynical lefty placed in his chair.
No interested in Paxman, not interested in biased Newsnight and couldn't give a shite about Berlusconi

He doesn't speak a word of fucking Belgian so why is he nodding his head?

Less Nuclear energy
Less Coal Fired Power Stations, you know the ones that the Chinese are opening at the rate of 1 a week
Less bin collections, so more rats and shite around
Greens set of stupid wankers
If Greens were sensible they would propose a radical sort of tax incentivised population control. Population control would also mean somehow controlling the overcrowding of the UK.
A Green Party with an agenda that truly holds out hope for the environment would attract a multitude of voters.
It is a pretty loony situation, however that a party supposedly in favour of Nature and the Environment is blissfully ignorant of the fact that the very thing they want to protect is being destroyed by a continuous flood of people, which they seem also to want.
If the Greens were sensible they would go and find a deserted island somewhere and practice the crap they have forced on the British public, lets see how the Green/Reds can live with that crap.
Visit Brighton and your vision will come true.
Is it true that the results from Thursday wont be made available until sunday, why do they need 3 days, me thinks some manipulation will be happening.
We shall be scrutinising each ballot paper very carefully, looking for errors like a cross going outside its allocated box, the lines being too wide, incorrect folding and anything else we can come up with.
Use a biro to mark your ballot paper
Most countries vote on Sunday so Britain's votes will be counted at the same time as theirs.
AFAIK our local elections will be counted on Thursday or Friday.

Arrest and prosecute the attackers.
These fascists must not be allowed to threaten our democratic process.
Shocking how UKIP has faced a barrage of unsubstantiated attacks from
every corner of the press for weeks,being accused of fermenting violence and hatred.
The only people to have actually suffered violence,hatred and intimidation throughout this campaign have been UKIP MEP's,candidates and supporters.
The abhorrent condition of Bobby Anwar strenghthens the lobby for postal voting .
With all its faults it remains a sure way to avoid a visit to the pollling booth and consequently remain in one piece .

The holidays bring with them the sounds of the season. For one North Country Walmart, that sound was provided by Robert Gibbs. Gibbs has always played the trumpet while collecting donations. But as our Barry Wygel tells us, because of a new policy, he's been silenced.
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- For Robert Gibbs, a retired music professor from the Crane School of Music, it's a tradition.
"I'm going to say 15 years," said Robert Gibbs, a Salvation Army bell ringer.
That's how long he has been playing trumpet while collecting for the Salvation Army. When the new Walmart came to Potsdam he took his act there, where he drew large crowds. That was until Thursday. "I was playing for maybe 10 to 15 minutes and this young guy started waving at me saying 'stop stop.' So I said 'What's going on?' He said 'you can't do that!'," said Gibbs.
Gibbs was eventually told by the store manager that he could not play anymore outside of the store. Gibbs said there has never been an issue before.
"There never has been. I'm sure there would be no complaints, because people like to hear it," said Gibbs.
Walmart instituted a new national policy that prohibits bell ringers from using musical instruments. Walmart says they don't deal with these issues on a case by case basis. This is a result of a national policy that Walmart came up with in conjunction with the Salvation Army.
"Some retailers appreciate having music, others find it a distraction. There are a variety of different approaches to how it is," said Major Donald Hostetler of the Salvation Army.
Both the Salvation Army and Gibbs say that more money gets donated when the bell ringer is performing.
"When we are able to do fairly good comparisons to same locations, same times as from when there is live music as to when there is not, almost universally music on the kettles is appreciated by those passing by and encourages giving," said Hostetler.
For Gibbs, he says his trumpet playing attracts a lot of children to donate.
"But I'm surprised that children, little kids come up with their pennies, and high school kids, junior high kids and they all give. They are very generous. I'm amazed at the generosity of the people," said Gibbs.
Gibbs doesn't know where he will be moving his performance to, but he vows to keep playing to support the Salvation Army.
This is not an isolated case. Another performer outside the Massena Walmart was told he could not use a boom box while collecting donations. He has since taken his act to the Massena Price Chopper.

NFL on FOX Crew Touts the Advantages of Super Bowl Rings
Believe it or not, the NFL regular season is already more than halfway over. Yes, it's depressing, and at this rate, Randy Moss will have played for six different teams by the time we reach the playoffs. So, we look toward the end of the seasons as America's most watched (and most annoying) NFL Sunday team shows the differences between the "Have and Have Nots" in this campaign previewing Fox's coverage of the Super Bowl.
As is the case with most former professional athletes, a lot of ordinary and mundane tasks can come down to bragging rights. So, while Joe Buck, Curt Menefee and Jay Glazer may leer in jealousy at their Super Bowl-winning counterparts, they know that their lives drove them to be journalists instead of professional athletes, and while press passes do come with their benefits, they automatically mean getting to party with Usher or Hugh Laurie. Also, we get why Laurie's there as his show House is on Fox, by why is Usher there? Was he just in the neighborhood?
Basically, the kind of folks who find the NFL on FOX funny and relevant will truly love this campaign. These are the same folks who think Howie Long is a studly stud, Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman are gods among men for restoring the Dallas Cowboys to greatness, Michael Strahan's sitcom should have been on longer and Terry Bradshaw was great in Failure to Launch. Still, I have yet to find anyone who thinks Frank Caliendo is funny or entertaining.

Experience the Miracle at Remagen -- a heart-stopping series of events that decided the outcome of WWII in Europe -- as it's never been seen before.
- A cutting-edge combination of CGI animation and aerial photographs.
- Hear the stories of men who were there from their own mouths.
- Features dramatic re-enactments and archival film.
The recon material sat for decades, its unique view of important encounters unseen. Shot from aircraft high above the conflicts, it captures the intense action as Allied forces battled their enemies. Enriched with cutting-edge CGI graphics which create detailed contour maps of the battleground, THE LOST EVIDENCE® sheds new light on some of WWII's most important engagements.
Discovered almost by accident by secret Allied operatives, the Ludendorff Bridge in Remagen was the only intact way across the Rhine into Germany. The series of events centered around Remagen in the Spring of 1945 -- the discovery of the crucial bridge, the race to capture it before the Germans destroyed it, and the fateful Nazi delay -- undoubtedly decided the outcome of WWII in Europe.
In the latest edition of this uniquely illuminating program, THE LOST EVIDENCE® revisits the bottleneck at the Rhine and captures the entire operation -- the single largest offensive against the Germans after D-Day -- with its trademark combination of archival material and ultramodern computer modeling.
The Miracle at Remagen was one of the tensest, most surprising and thrilling episodes in WWII, and THE HISTORY CHANNEL® has reproduced it here with stunning thoroughness and accuracy.

Ted from Dallas, TX | 9/13/2014 9:16 PM
Returned to golf upon retirement. I have taken classes at local course and the. Lubs are meeting my expectations. Great quality in the materials and manufacturing. Hybrids are especially nice to use and much better than long irons. Would recommend to a friend.
Bruce from Draper, UT | 7/20/2014 2:19 PM
I found these clubs very well made and they have lived up to my expectations. I like the lokk and feel of the clubs.
Roger St Laurent from Williamsburg, VA | 5/11/2014 3:06 PM
Having used my Adams Sr Golf set approx. 15 - 20 times over the past 18 months, I am very disappointed in the quality of the bag. The tops of the club dividers have started to separate from the cross member frame and the lower cloth material has torn making it difficult to re-insert clubs. Otherwise the exterior appearance of the bag is satisfactory.
Dan Z from Ft. Mill, SC | 5/1/2014 11:01 AM
I really like the wide base on the irons. Makes for improved accuracy and distance. The fairway woods feel improved over my old set and I feel I have improved ball striking. Will need more practice with these clubs. The bag is OK but not great. Front pockets lack depth and there is no "cooler' pocket which would be a nice addition. The price was reasonable and with a coupon was a great value. I am looking forward to many years of use with these clubs.
Ray Kerr from N. Wales, PA | 4/18/2014 9:02 AM
Driver and hybrid clubs allow for improved accuracy and distance with no extra effort. Complete set has every club you need for the game and the light flex shafts allow for easier effort.

Happy New Years Black Eyed Peas Rice Greens and Good Luck for 2011
Happy New Year!!
A couple years ago I was reading some friends posts and they all were talking about making black eyed peas & rice dish called Hoppin John and Collard greens for their New Years day menu. For me New Years day menus in the past usually meant something with heavy duty carbs to combat the post libations festivity pain from the revelry the night before. Since then for the last couple of years I have been making this meal hoping to fortify my good luck for the upcoming year. It is completely soul satisfying to me to make and consume this dish.
It starts the night before I soak a couple cups of black eyed peas in a large bowl of water. Then head off to whatever party you have been invited to celebrate with copious amounts of libations and ring in the new year.
Once you roll out of bed the next day (pounding headache aside) and grab a few glasses of water, pickle juice, and in my case a few bottles of Gatorade you need to get on with the meal. Please note this is also the time you should realize that you are no longer 19 and that jello shots combined with copious amounts of sparkling wine are never a good idea period.
There are countless variations on this recipe on the net. This can be modified in many ways by adding hot sauce, kielbasa, smoked sausages or pieces of ham. Add what you like to customize it to your preferences.
I start with an onion sauteed with some evoo & 1/2 pound of bacon sliced into strips.
Add the black eyed peas drained from the water once the onions have softened and the bacon has rendered out some fat. You can also use a ham hock instead of the bacon. I would add some bacon fat if just using the ham hock a tablespoon or two is a great addition.
Add a couple of bay leaves, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes and a few pinches of dried thyme. Also add 1 1/2 cups raw uncooked long grain brown rice. Season with salt & pepper. Cover with water completely.
Simmer until the rice is cooked and the beans are soft enough to your liking. I like to wait until the dish is creamy from the starches in the peas and rice.
Then its as simple as putting a lid on it removing from the heat and forgetting about them till dinner time.
Moving on to the greens. I ♥ collard greens. I order them whenever I see them on a menu. I don't make them often enough.
I started with three large bunches of collard greens. I trim them of all the hard stalks and tough veins. Then I chop them roughly and soak them for an hour. * Please note this is a great time to take a New Years Day nap. Recovery from the night before is still ongoing.
Once the greens have soaked thoroughly and all signs of grit is gone – rinse them once again in cold water and strain them out.
At this point I add copious amounts of vegetable stock to a large pot and add something I love dearly….. Willowgrove Hill Farms Pork belly. This is my last piece until I visit the farm…. I have had the distinct pleasure to get to know the Hills this past year and they are just lovely people. I have been enjoying their pork all year. This piece was about 2 pounds. I sliced it into three large pieces and added it to the stock pot.
Then its a matter of getting all the chopped greens into the pot as well as another sauteed onion, a few pinches of salt and a splash or two of apple cider vinegar. Personally I like adding the vinegar to the cooking water (or pot likker as it is called in the South) versus adding it after.
Then its time to let the vegetable and time do its magic. Simmer for an hour then test the greens to make sure they are soft enough to your liking. Remove the large pieces of pork belly. Cool the belly until you can slice it into manageable bite size pieces. I like to sautee the slices of belly until they are nice and crispy.
While you are waiting for the belly to crisp up you may also want to make a batch of cornbread to go with your meal…. Its a perfect addition and great to sopping up the collard green liquid.
Then its just a matter of putting together your New Years dinner plate. A pile of black eyed peas, a mound of collard greens topped with some crispy pieces of belly and a warm piece of cornbread.
This dish is apparently eaten to promote good fortune and prosperity for the New Year. I sure hope it works. For other Lucky foods for the New Year check out this link from Epicurious.
All the best to you and yours for the upcoming year. May it bring you all peace prosperity good fortune, love and of course lots of BBQ!

Funeral plans set for Jonylah; dad cooperating with police

Updated: April 15, 2013 11:10AM
Judy Watkins cried silently Wednesday night as she identified the bullet-torn body of her 6-month-old daughter, Jonylah, a painful but necessary formality in order to proceed with funeral arrangements for the child whose killing shocked the city earlier this week.
Watkins, 20, viewed her baby's body through a closed-circuit television feed at the Cook County medical examiner's office, according to the Rev. Corey Brooks, who's acting as a Watkins family spokesman.
"She stood there for about 30 seconds or a minute," he said. "But I could tell she would have stayed there all day. I told them that was enough."
Jonylah's funeral was set for 11 a.m. Tuesday at Brooks' New Beginnings Church, 6620 S. King Dr. A wake will precede the service at 10 a.m.
Jonylah's father, Jonathan Watkins, 29, who was wounded by the same gunman who killed his daughter, is cooperating with police from his hospital bed, but he doesn't know who shot him, Brooks said.
"He is giving them the information that they are asking for," Brooks said. "If he knew who shot him, trust me, they would be arrested by now."
Jonathan Watkins was recovering at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Wednesday.
On Monday afternoon, Watkins was standing on the curb in the 6500 block of South Maryland, changing his daughter's diaper on the front passenger seat of a minivan, when a gunman came from a gangway behind him and opened fire. Watkins was shot three times, in the back, side and cheek. A bullet entered Jonylah's shoulder and exited her lower body. She survived emergency surgery but died Tuesday morning.
"We've buried young kids caught in gang crossfire before, but never this young," said Spencer Leak Sr., director of Leak and Sons Funeral Home. Leak, who is donating his services for the funeral, planned to place a special order for a three-foot casket first thing Thursday morning. Leak could not confirm reports that Chicago Bull Derrick Rose planned on covering part of the burial cost. Calls to Rose's representatives were not returned Wednesday.
A police source said Jonathan Watkins may have been targeted in retaliation for alleged links to an earlier robbery and shooting. Detectives have scoured the Woodlawn neighborhood, but few helpful leads have emerged. On Tuesday, Supt. Garry McCarthy told reporters no one had stepped up to help in the investigation.
Police sources say Watkins, 29, is a gang member who has been arrested 30 times, including once in 2007 for illegal possession of a 9mm handgun, which he told police he was carrying for protection, court records show. He received a three-year prison sentence.
Brooks defended Jonathan Watkins on Wednesday.
"He hasn't been in any trouble since 2007," he said. "Here's a young man who — unlike most of the young men in our neighborhoods who are making babies and not taking responsibility for them — this man did totally the opposite: He not only took responsibility for his baby, but he also married the baby's mother."
Jonathan Watkins recently married Judy, who works at a McDonald's restaurant. Jonylah was their only child. .

One of the only places where you get the full expe - 2/24/2014
My favorite thing about CT is definitely how true the climate is to each season: you get the most beautiful autumns, the freshest springs, as well as the harshest winters, however that is what makes CT one of the best places to live.
Politicians here can't find enough ways to take your money. TAX,TAX, and more TAXES. Their favorite sport is to chase seniors out of the state.[Comment on this Posting]
Very liberal, very expensive - 12/26/2013
I like the CT town I live in, but it is becoming more and more expensive to live here. I hate the New England politics and with that, the cost to live here is high.[Comment on this Posting]
Beautiful - 11/17/2013
I am from the Northeast area NY, CT and Jersey. I can say the best thing about living up here is being so close to NY and always having something to do and being able to experience and enjoy the 4 seasons. Certain areas are absolutely beautiful but unfortunately the cost of living is just getting to out of hand therefore I'm looking to relocate to Valdosta please provide any information that would help aid me in my transition.
CT. Is a beautiful state.
CT schools - 8/10/2013
The schools in CT are considered over average but the have similar problems as others. The problem is not the school or curriculum or location but the system which presumes miscommunication between the educators- each teacher cares only about his/her subject.
The new trends are encouraging though- particularly teaching chess in middle schools.[Comment on this Posting]
Not good for asthmatics - 7/20/2013
CT is becoming so lush, in the summer it's more like a rainforest. If you are allergic to mold, this is not the place for you to live. If not allergic, CT is a reserved area except for the larger cities. The area is absolutely beautiful in spring and fall. Winters are icy and snowy, with average temps in the high 20s. Summers vary, but this current summer is sweltering with high temps and high humidity. [Comment on this Posting]

Living in Brookfield, CT - 3/19/2013
I love it here. It's a typical suburban, white, middle class to upper middle class community. It was a great place to grow up. You feel safe and because it's a small town you tend to always see people from high school. It quiet, not too much craziness goes on around here. If you're considering a move to Fairfield County look into the greater Danbury area and the surrounding towns. It's a nice place to live.[Comment on this Posting]
cost of living in CT - 3/13/2013
Way to high. State ioncome tax, sales tax, real estate tax, car tax, gas tax. You name it CT taxes it[Comment on this Posting]
Living in Connecticut - 2/26/2013
I've living in CT my entire life. My entire family (children, mother & siblings) are all here as well. As you're probably aware, Ct is a small state, but packed with plenty to do and see. It's a wonderful place to live and raise a family. We have a shoreline, mountains (it's certainly not the Rockies), casinos (if that's your thing), historical sites and much, much more. The economy is no better or worse than most states these days. We enjoy 4 beautiful seasons each year and for the most part, the weather is more than manageable. It's not paradise, but it's home![Comment on this Posting]
Country life or Down South? - 2/7/2013
We just recently moved from LA to a small town on the Eastern shoreline of Ct. It's a village really with a number of towns nearby which blend together to form the shoreline. What an adjustment. We were looking for more nature and less expense as well as the change of seasons. We pretty much got it except its more expensive here for some items like food and of course heat.
We have lived in NY, Miami, La and now Ct. I am from Ct which is why we moved here. It's beautiful and familiar but now we see it might not be the ticket.
Both my husband and I are having a tough time adjusting to the cold winter and gray days and are not sure if this is really the right place for us. We like the abundance of nature and the lack of traffic and rude people that LA has but think maybe a smaller city would suit us better and more temperate weather.
Anyone know about Asheville or any other town on North Carolina that might work?
We are both liberal Obama people who are not religious, have no kids and are entrepreneurs so need to be in a hip area with good food, arts and opportunities for growth.
Any input wold be welcome!

Cost of Living High - Quality of Life Not So Much - 4/11/2012
I've lived in CT off and on for nearly 40 years and I must say that I'm more disappointed each year. The prices of homes in a decent area are very high and the price of food and utilities has skyrocketed. Most of the higher-paying jobs are in the area outside of NYC so the commute is no picnic. There is a reason why I've never seen this area listed in "Best Places to Live".[Comment on this Posting]

Greenwich - 2/21/2011
Even though it is not reality, Greenwich is a great place to live. We have the smallest house in Greenwich (probably the smallest house pretty much anywhere, less than 800 sq. ft.) & we're not Greenwich "material", but you can't beat it for casual beauty, convenience to any & everything you need or want in Fairfield & Westchester, as well as all the town benefits.
You will not believe the property taxes & mil rate because of the mega-rich businesses here. You may not be able to afford the property, but you can always pay your taxes (the exact opposite of Westchester, where I grew up & why we actually decided for a laugh to look at Greenwich back in the 1990's). Simple things like the town dump book exchange give you a small town feel & everyone on our block still wave at each other when they drive by (I came from New York & THAT took some getting used to, I can tell you!).
The City, Long Island (we love Jones Beach) & the upper states are easy to get to, so a variety of casual, comfortable vacations are possible when you want.

Twenty-five years ago today Harry met Sally and one of our favorite romantic-comedies was born. From Harry's hilarious lines to Sally's knack for ordering food, it was impossible not to fall in love with the on-screen duo. To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, here are the ten best quotes that will make you want to spend the rest of the day on the couch re-watching the classic on Netflix.
1) "What I'm saying isand this is not a come-on in any way, shape or formis that men and women can't ever be friends because the sex part always gets in the way." Harry
2) Harry: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally: Which one am I?
Harry: You're the worst kind; you're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.
Sally: I don't see that.
3) "But I'd like the pie heated, and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side. And I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it. If not, then no ice cream, just whipped cream, but only if it's real. If it's out of a can, then nothing." Sally
4) When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first, that way in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side. Harry
5) I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. Harry
6) The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe you're either a) not at home, b) home but don't want to talk to me, or c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it's either a) or c), please call me back. Harry
7) "Everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor but they couldn't possibly all have good taste." Marie
8) I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. Harry
9) You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry. I really hate you. Sally
And of course, the infamous...
10) "I'll have what she's having."
