Governor Andrew Cuomo was in Albany Wednesday, further discussing the state's new gun legislation. Our Nick Reisman has more from the Capitol.
NEW YORK STATE -- Governor Andrew Cuomo clarified his position on gun control while meeting with legislative leaders. This comes after a new Quinnipiac University poll shows the governor's approval rating slipped after signing the SAFE Act into law from 74 percent approval to 59.
Cuomo says he's not surprised in the drop and feels that once gun owners understand the particulars of the law, they will come around and support it as well.
"I understand the sensitivity. I understand the fear. Gun owners hear gun control laws and they're afraid you're talking about taking their gun away and you're talking about the Second Amendment. Many are skeptical about government. They own a gun, they say you're trying to control my gun. That is not the case with the law we passed," Cuomo said.
This week, Cuomo sent a letter to all lawmakers who voted yes on the measure, telling them they took a politically courageous act and understands the law has taken a political toll on them.

Railroad car ferries were once thought to be some of the safest vessels on the Great Lakes, built to withstand ice and waves year round. But on October 22nd, 1929, the SS Milwaukee sailed into a Force-9 Gale and disappeared. Was it foolishness on the part of the ship's captain, Robert "Heavy Weather" McKay? Or was he ordered to sail by the railroad company? Was there a design flaw with the ship itself? Or was there a conspiracy to cover up unsafe business practices? John and Richie brave the dark waters of Lake Michigan to search for evidence about the accident. Using cutting-edge technology, fascinating underwater footage, and expert interviews, they compare the official post-accident investigation with the wreck itself.

Bears remain in first place in NFC North with 13-7 win over Lions
BY SEAN JENSEN firstname.lastname@example.com October 22, 2012 11:03PM
Chicago Bears defense of D.J. Moore, Major Wright and Peanut Tillman celebrate a goaline stop in the fourth quarter as the Bears defeated the Detroit Lions 13- 7 Monday October 22, 2012 at Soldier Field. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: October 23, 2012 2:18PM
In one fell swoop with his mighty right arm, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh erased a strong start by the Bears on Monday night.
Suh powered his way past the Bears' offensive line, barely grabbed Jay Cutler with his left arm, then slammed the Bears quarterback hard into the Soldier Field turf.
Suh pounded his chest, then pretended to rip open his shirt, a la Superman.
The stadium went quiet, the glow of a 10-0 lead secondary to the team's fallen quarterback.
After having his ribs evaluated, though, Cutler returned, and order was restored in a game the Bears won 13-7. They moved to 5-1 atop the NFC North.
The Bears shined in their last outing on Monday night, convincingly defeating the Cowboys in Dallas 34-18. But there were questions about their legitimacy after victories over the St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars.
The win Monday night pushed up their stock and dropped the Lions to 2-4.
Cutler bolstered his toughness.
The defense reinforced its collective dominance.
And the special teams and offense flashed just enough potential to strike fear around the league.
After the defense forced a three-and-out to open the game, the offense needed less than three minutes and just six plays to move the ball 59 yards into the end zone, capped by a seven-yard score by receiver Brandon Marshall.
The drive was keyed by a 39-yard run by running back Matt Forte, who sprinted through a gaping hole created by left tackle J'Marcus Webb and right guard Lance Louis. On the touchdown, Cutler moved to his right, forced Lions linebacker Justin Durant to commit into the backfield, leaving Marshall wide open.
The offense did move the ball against a surprisingly stout — and much improved — Lions defense. But three drives stalled in the red zone. One of the three field-goal attempts by Robbie Gould was blocked by Lawrence Jackson midway through the second quarter.
But give the offense this much: It didn't turn the ball over, and it did have some timely drives.
Once again, though, the Bears relied heavily on their defense to carry them.
Cutler did return, but he wasn't able to get the offense rolling. He finished the game 16 of 31 for 150 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers.
After the Bears defense held, the offense went three-and-out to give the Lions the ball back with a little more than two minutes remaining.
Fortunately, Matthew Stafford had a rougher night — at least statistically — than Cutler.
He was 24 of 41 for 196 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Late in the fourth quarter, he got his team to the Bears' six-yard line. But he was flushed out of the pocket on fourth down, and he ended up on the turf, with grass filling his helmet.
The Lions broke the shutout bid when Ryan Broyles caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in the final minute.

By The Sword
Colteris (Rolemaster Sage, 2003): Rapier
Corran (D&D 3.5 Fighter, 2003): 2-Handed Sword
Rickman (D&D 3.5 Bard, 2004): Longsword
Douglas (Rifts Scholar, 2006): Vibro-Saber
Laertes (Epic RPG Blade of Ehr, 2006): Shortsword
Lt. Alec Harcourt (In Harm's Way U.S. Navy, 2006): Cutlass
Captain Jonathan Wayne (Classic Traveller Imperial Army, 2006): Broadsword
Evidently, I fall right into the trap of thinking Swords>All Weapons.
Anyone else find a proclivity or pattern of choice for a certain type of weapon? I don't think this is anything I do consciously, and I don't have a katana hanging somewhere in my house. I just like swords for arming my characters, I guess.

I also have that tendency for using swords in my characters.
I have forced myself on using an axe for my Dnd4 human fighter, and I want to try a polearm warrior at some point too.
But, yes, swords are the primary group for me.

Watch Reclaiming the Blade, I think it answers your question ;-)
Seriously, swords have always been a weapon of choice for most any culture that has the resources and technology to make them. A sword is a strong, versatile, relatively compact weapon. The fundamentals of swordplay are fairly easy to pick up, but mastery takes a lifetime or more. It represents a philosophy of direct action and a willingness to engage a challenge up close, and it is also the foremost iconic representation of a "Warrior's Weapon"; peasants do not use swords, Warriors do.
If I was creating a character to be a Peasant Hero, I'd probably give him a spear or a quarterstaff. If I was creating a back-stabbing rogue or assassin, I'd probably give him a dagger. If I was creating a savage barbarian, I'd probably give him an axe or spear. But if I was creating an archetypal "Medieval Warrior", I'd give him a sword.
It also doesn't help that most RPG system mechanics make your average broadsword/longsword one of the best all-around weapons in the system. However, if you're using a system like, for example, Rolemaster, and your campaign has a high-medieval tech level using a lot of plate armors, you quickly find a lot of characters investing more skill ranks in warhammers, maces, and battle axes than in broadswords.
But in a game like basic D&D, all other things being equal, is a fighter going to take the mace that does 1d6, or the long sword that does 1d8? unless there's a significant mechanical or campaign-specific reason to avoid swords, most players (and who can blame them) are going to at least lean towards the weapon that gives them a statistical advantage.

For modern to near future I almost always pick a model 1911 in .45 ACP, or in some cases the same gun in 10mm.
For fantasy, the 1 1/2 Handed Sword is my normal choice and it shows up in some future campaigns as well.
And as far as swords go, let's face it- Star Wars wouldn't have been nearly as cool if it didn't have lightsabers. They made the movie.

I'm a big fan of the sword-wielding character as well...
One thing I've been pondering is what game would be the most fun to use a sword character in? I think a game like that would need a solid variance on sword designs and materials they could be constructed from (as well as lots of potential magical/technological effects), and then have a good bunch of maneuvers, to make a PC feel awesome. A damage system with enough durability to give the PC's some time to give and take a few hits but not so tough that it takes an army or a 3 hour combat session to kill a tough character.
- October 7, 2009 at 12:13 PM
- Gleichman said...
I'm on the other side of the fence from the "A damage system with enough durability to give the PC's some time to give and take a few hits" viewpoint.
I tend to run with a system where there's an excellent change that a single connecting hit will drop a person. Where the defense is to not be hit, most with the use of the parry.
On top of this, good rules for movement.
I managed a blind test of this (actually my son in the coast guard managed it) pitting Star Wars SAGA (good example of Helmsmen's suggested approach) against Age of Heroes (my preferred method) modified for the Star Wars setting.
The latter was much better received than SAGA. The core was that in AoH the result of a lightsaber hit matched the movie, while SAGA produced results counter to their expectations. In short, they felt BA in AOH.
- October 7, 2009 at 2:31 PM
- Helmsman said...
Most of the games I play have the potential for one-hit kills. Exalted is known for it, the one I'm designing is definitely capable of killing or downing a character with a good hit or two. And I agree with you that lightsabers which in the movies have the capability to carve through most structural materials like a hot-knife through butter should definitely be severing limbs on successful hits at the very least.
My interest would be more in creating a fantasy type game where you can pull off the dynamic extended sword fights that are seen in A Princess Bride, or read about in say the Wheel of Time, both of which seem to give quasi-mythical status to a swordsman's training school or techniques.
- October 7, 2009 at 2:45 PM
- 1d30 said...
Well, if you accept that early D&D's abstract combat system works the way it's intended, it could easily be used to simulate swordfighting. You just don't itemize every parry and thrust and shuffle. So maybe it doesn't feel cinematic. But it does result in a lightsaber duel where nobody gets hit until that last lucky stab that kills the other guy.
Anyway, I've found I go with whatever weapon is good but not the best. For example, I don't like using longswords in D&D because they're the best, but I don't go for stupid ones that only deal 1d4 or something. Then again, in D&D 1E-2E the bow is unquestionably the best weapon. It does as much damage as a longsword, at range, twice per round instead of once. At late levels you can use magic arrows with your magic bow and pack on the bonuses. And the Elven Archer in 2E is simply the most powerful non-spellcaster period.
I think if you're jonesing for a game where you have an incentive to use a wider array of weapons, Rolemaster might be it. Or WarhammerFRP, though I haven't looked at it.

For me its the Axe, its the fantasy equivalent to choosing the shotgun in a modern game.
Simple, robust and brutal if it lands well, the sword is a more elegant and noble weapon.
- October 7, 2009 at 7:15 PM
- Barrataria said...
I think the older D ampersand D modules were part of the problem... and the treasure tables. The most powerful weapons to be had were swords, usually more effective than other melee weapons. In some cases (AD&D) utterly necessary to survival at high levels. How many +3 bardiches ever saw print? Pretty hard to kill a demon with the same halberd +1 your character's been hauling around since 3rd level.
Nowadays I try to even such things out- have the two handed sword and the "great axe" do the same damage. But I think this is an ingrained bias, especially if you spent much time playing or DMing AD&D.

I like swords, we probably all do.
I like maces too though... it's the bonecrushing I think.
A sword slices, a mace smashes
a sword cuts, a mace crushes
reading this makes me wonder why clerics should use them
- October 8, 2009 at 6:03 AM
- Tim Shorts said...
Swords were always the choice because all the very cool magical weapons favored swords. Plus, swords had the best damage ratio. My characters always favored swords, but alternated with axes and bows. Never been much of a bashing weapons person. I can only think of one character that used a war hammer and he was more blacksmith than warrior.

As a player my expereience has been almost entirely SF RPGs - Classic Traveller & Space Opera - but in considering my PCs, a marked preference for slug throwers over energy weapons is evident.
The 7mm AutoRifle was definitely my friend.

Underage Drinking
A - Thanks for the question. I would like to point other readers to my answer to a previous question on whether getting drunk is a mortal sin. While you ask a question that takes that out of the picture, it is all too common a question and very relevant to most college students.
Now, as to your specific question. It depends (don't you love that answer).
Alcohol is not, in and of itself, an evil thing. So, having a beer is not, by itself, wrong. That being said, there are other circumstances that can make a neutral thing (alcohol) be used for an immoral purpose.
It is not a sin, if you are not breaking the law and drink moderately. Now, the Texas state law allows a minor to under the supervision of their parents or guardian. So, this would not be a sin, if you drink a beer or a glass of wine with your parents.
But, I am guessing you mean drinking as a minor without your parents or guardian around. If this is the case, then you are breaking the law. While some believe drinking-age laws are arbitrary, we must still follow them, because they are not unjust laws. Breaking the law is a sin, if it is a just law, therefore underage drinking without your parents around is a sin. What level of sin (mortal or venial) depends on other circumstances. Here are some examples.
Example #1 - Your know that your parents do not approve of underage drinking, but you drink anyway. Therefore you are also breaking commandment #4 - to honor your father and mother. By the way, even if your parents encouraged you to drink before you turn 21, you are still bound to follow the law.
Example #2 - Others you are drinking with are drinking too much or participate in unhealthy or immoral behaviors because of drinking. This is scandalous, because you are giving tacit approval to their actions (even if you don't approve or or participate in their actions) by your presence.
Example #3 - You have a history of not being able to control yourself around alcohol and thus you are putting yourself in a near occasion of sin.
Example #4 - You drink and drive. Not only is this very stupid / sinful, but it is also breaking another TX law, because a minor cannot drive with ANY trace of alcohol in their system.
There are other examples, but this will do for our purposes here. Is underage drinking a sin? The simple answer is yes, it is (most likely) a venial sin when you break the law but do not drink to excess. But, other issues can increase the gravity of the sin to make it a mortal one.
But, we shouldn't always see such situations from the negative side. There is a positive side as well. Every time you choose to follow the law you say yes to justice and the wise course of action. When you choose to drink legally and responsibly, you choose sobriety, temperance, prudence, and wisdom as well. The right choice is the one you will never regret, the one that follows your conscience, and the one that is in accord with God's will. Choose that and you won't miss out on anything anyway.

I think it would be good to mention that the Catholic Church is actually catholic, or universal, therefore it is good to keep in mind that the "drinking age" is different for different countries. I believe, and this is only opinion, that Jesus' comment about "giving unto Caesar" is relevant in this case, implying that we should follow man's laws as well as God's, as long as man's laws are not immoral of coarse.
- Marcel said...
Wally - duly noted.
- Leticia said...
Studies show that when alcohol is consumed as part of a meal, with the family present, it holds far less attraction as a forbidden fruit and thus such cultures (Italian, French, Jewish) have fewer alcoholics.
I was allowed a sip of wine as an adolescent at the family dinner table. I now drink wine about twice a month. It holds fond memories as part of family celebrations but no special attraction as a drug for me.
- Zach said...
As it turned out most of my friends became pot smokers and drinkers. I've never drank with them nor smoked, however I am around them when they do. They are still nice people and good friends. I enjoy spending time with them. Am I committing sin just by hanging out with them when they smoke/drink? Am I to abandon all friends? (there is only one person I know in my high school that doesn't drink or smoke) Didn't Jesus even eat with the tax collectors?
Also my friends don't do stupid things while under the influence. They just do it.
- Marcel said...
1 - You should talk to your confessor about it.
2 - In my humble opinion, you would still be giving tacit approval to the immoral actions, thus creating scandal.
- Marcel said...
I forgot to mention that while Christ ate and drank with "sinners" (e.g, prostitutes and tax collectors) he always called them to give up their sin and turn to The Father. He did not just hang out with them and accept all that they did.
- ariofrio said...
I do wonder about the "forbidden fruit" argument, though. If and when I have a family, I think it might be a good idea to let my kids have small amounts of wine as they grow up. Even though this is against the law in most states, could the law be unjust because it causes higher levels of alcoholism?
- David Hacker said...
does that mean purposefully going 45mph in a 40mph zone is a sin?
- Marcel said...
As with most things, it depends.
Doing it, without any other reason, knowing it is wrong and you are breaking the law, might be sinful.
Other times (e.g. emergency and others) it may not be.

Radiotitans.com Adding More Colorful Shows
Launched this past summer, Internet broadcaster Radiotitans.com is the brainchild of Jake Belcher, Brant Thoman and Carl Kozlowski, a stand-up comic, film critic and arts editor for the Pasadena Weekly. For a fee of $50 per hour, a wide range of comics and entertainers have chosen to stream their programs through the Hollywood-based outlet. Alongside flagship podcast Grand Theft Audio, hosted by the station's three co-founders.
There are currently 16 shows on the grid including weekly interview programs Name-Dropping with Jason Stuart, for which the openly gay comic (and SAG LGBT Committee chair) has talked to everyone from Hollywood writer Bruce Vilanch to actress Michelle Lee, and Inside Out with Joie Blaney. Come January, more impressive programming will be added.
Writer and executive producer Rick Najera (In Living Color), set next month to also direct another Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase for CBS, will be starting up an interview program focused on ethnic and other diversity-spectrum entertainers. Two more Radiotitans.com programs being finalized are to be hosted by Puerto Rican comic Brenda Lamberty and African-American stand-up Laurence White.

1. Use Wood from Responsibly Managed Forests
IKEA's first commandment is represented through their BEKVAM wooden stool. The design shows a commitment to using and creating demand for FSC wood.
2. Lighten Up
IKEA uses its own recyclable polypropylene plastic pallets instead of the standard wooden ones. This way they can adjust them to accomodate different products. The pallets also support additional weight, optimizing transportation and cost effectiveness.
3. Economize on Resources
Material optimization is paramount to Ikea, and this can be see through the company's popular LACK table. The table is made from sturdy board-on-frame (BoF) and filled with recycled honeycomb paper.
4. Empower Women
This commandment refers to a joint effort by IKEA, Unicef and Dutch designer Hella Jongerious. Through the PS GULLSPIRA, Jongerious quilted wall hangings that helped skilled Indian women in creating their own small businesses while preventing child labor.

Find out about exhibitions, activities, tours and talks at Birmingham Museums
Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
27th July 2011
Hoard exhibition will be at the National Geographic Museum in Washington from October 29 2011 to March 4 2012.
Glittering gold from ancient England is set to dazzle audiences in the United States. More than one hundred artefacts from the Staffordshire Hoard – the largest and most valuable collection of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever discovered – will be displayed in Washington D.C. later this year.
The exhibition, called 'Anglo-Saxon Hoard: Gold from England's Dark Ages' will be open at the National Geographic Museum from October 29, 2011 to March 4, 2012.
The exhibition in Washington will also help the treasure owners – Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Birmingham City Council – to facilitate vital research to help understand the unique artefacts and ensure that they are conserved for future generations.
Birmingham City Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Sport and Culture Cllr Martin Mullaney, said: "The Washington exhibition represents another exciting chapter in a story that continues to fascinate the world.
"It will build on hugely successful exhibitions in Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent and a touring display of the treasure in Stafford, Lichfield and Tamworth – landmarks in the ancient kingdom of Mercia.
"We want to give as many people as possible the chance to see these wonderful treasures, and are thrilled that the Washington exhibition will mean even more people can see it.
"There is simply so much about the treasure that we don't yet know – how it came to be buried in a Staffordshire field, who put it there, and why.
"And questions such as how primitive people were able to make such outstandingly beautiful items without the aid of modern day highly specialised tools. Research into these wonderful treasures will help experts delve into these mysteries and reveal the secrets of the Dark Ages."
The Staffordshire Hoard comprises more than 3,300 mainly gold and silver artefacts from the seventh and eighth centuries. The haul is made up of intricately designed articles of war, including helmet cheek pieces, sword pommels and religious crosses. Experts believe that some of the items were deliberately folded before being buried and that the treasure could be the booty from a battlefield from the ancient kingdom of Mercia.
Susan Norton, director of the National Geographic Museum, said: "We are thrilled to be the only U.S. venue for this exhibition. National Geographic has been a window on the world since 1888, and bringing 'Anglo-Saxon Hoard' to our museum in Washington D.C. offers us the opportunity to showcase this incredible find and emphasise the importance of continued exploration. There are wonders to be found both in remote territories and our own backyards."
The hoard was found by a metal detector enthusiast in a farmer's field in Staffordshire in 2009, and was saved for the nation by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Birmingham City Council who bought the treasure for £3.3million, after a massive public fundraising campaign which even gained support from the then British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
In addition to the museum exhibition, National Geographic will feature the hoard and its discovery in a new book, 'Lost Gold: War, Treasure, and the Mystery of the Saxons', in a November television special for the National Geographic Channel and in the November issue of National Geographic Magazine.
Permanent displays on the Staffordshire Hoard will remain in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent.
For more information about the Staffordshire Hoard visit the Staffordshire Hoard website.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A casino operator that lobbied against expanded gambling in Maryland is now considering a bid to operate a new casino in Prince George's County.
Penn National Gaming spent more than $40 million trying to persuade Maryland voters not to authorize a sixth casino and table games in the state. The company owns a slots-only casino in Perryville and a casino in Charles Town, W.Va., that draws many customers from Maryland and the Washington area.
Penn National spokeswoman Karen Bailey tells The Washington Post that the company is considering a bid for Maryland's new casino license. She declined to elaborate on the company's plans.
Penn National also owns Rosecroft Raceway, a potential location for the new casino. Meanwhile, MGM Resorts is hoping to build a high-end casino at National Harbor.

GREENVILLE, Ky. (3/26/14) — Open Mic Night comes to the Palace Theatre in downtown Greenville 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, March 28.
The event will be a truly improvised night of music, skits, jokes, and poetry, according to Melanie Smith, coordinator for the Muhlenberg Arts Council.
Smith told SurfKY News that the original idea for a monthly Open Mic Night was to give people in the area an outlet and a chance to share their talent with the community.
"The original purpose was to find the talent that exists in Muhlenberg County," Smith said. "The event will also be a fund raiser for the Muhlenberg Arts Advisory Council and Muhlenberg Community Theatre Incorporated."
Smith said the show has several people who have committed to perform.
But as more and more people find out about the event, the more people will want to be a part of the event.
"Billy Steele and Willard Miller, from the WKYA-FM Morning Show will be the emcees of the event, so we're excited to have them. They will keep things moving, I'm sure," Smith said. "Joe Hudson has mentioned on his Facebook page that he would be here, and he is a really great local thumb picker."To find out more about the Open Mic Night, contact Melanie Smith at (502) 523-5073.

From the beginning D&D has used so called Vancian Magic inspired by the "Dying Earth" science fantasy novels written by Jack Vance. Throughout the D&D editions Vancian Magic has been both loved and hated. Personally, I couldn't stand it. But, I've since warmed to it and this post explains why.
First, Vancian Magic is defined by the following major traits:
- Unique named spells that are learned individually. Typically with fancy names, detailed descriptions, and disparate effects.
- Memorization of spells and subsequent "forgetting" of a spell after it is cast.
- Limited capacity to memorize spells. aka spell slots.
My transformation from hater to admirer happened over many years in small bits and pieces. Picked up from play experience, learning a great many other magic systems (I suffer Gamer ADD), and reading many insightful articles on blogs and forums. I can't tell you when exactly I became a convert. But, in hindsight, there were three epiphanies.
I learned about Dying Earth (via Pelgrane Press's eponymous RPG, no time for books, remember that Gamer ADD) and how baroquely, awesomely atmospheric Vancian Magic could be. Although, D&D (esp latter editions) have failed to live up to the source material some of the mysticalness is still present and a crafty + dedicated DM can enhance that.
I discovered a "fantasy realistic"* explanation for spell slots, spell levels, memorization & forgetting, the whole Vancian System! A post of the Tales of Wyre campaign journal mentioned valence levels --
"...spell levels are analogous to the quantum shells occupied by electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom, in that they can only have discrete numbers (1,2, etc.)"Casting a spell releases the quanta of arcane energy represented by that spell/valence level thus wiping memory of that spell from the caster's mind. Memorization is required to again "fill" that valence with magical energy. Through practice and experience a caster may expand his mind to hold new valence levels (more spell slots). This all gave a fairly bitchin and elegant in game reason for what I had previously seen only as an odious meta-game mechanic.**
I read several forum threads and blog posts (I forget exactly where, Grognardia? K&K Alehouse?) the gist of which was: That having each spell be it's own little set or rules with weird names and wildly varying power/effects instead of some unified & coherent system where for example the higher level fire attack spell is the same weak fire attack spell just with more power applied. Makes Vancian Magic more phantasmagorical and mysterious, less mechanical and logical. All things that greatly appeal to me as I try to escape rules-heavy, min-maxed, mechanical focused games. Too many players (and DMs) have forgotten that magic shouldn't be reduced to numbers and effects, shouldn't be mundane or well understood.
[Bonus epiphany] Power/mana points seem cool until you actually have to track them in game.
In short, Vancian Magic is a Puissant Thaumaturgic Artifice because
1) It's not just some stupid system bolted on from a naval war game or something.
2) It has a cool in-game explanation which adds depth and verisimilitude.
3) While not being great mechanically/rule/crunch wise, it is very good from a game play and style/atmosphere perspective.
* Fantasy realistic is my term for in-game explanations of game rules/systems/mechanics that make sense within the framework of the setting. i.e. they maintain suspension of disbelief and enhance verisimilitude. This disaster is the opposite of fantasy realistic.
** Not having arbitrary meta-game mechanics intrude into my fantasy is one aspect that sets RPGs apart from other games. And it really irks me when I'm forced to deal with them, esp if they're for game balance reasons.

After last year's running of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race with such B-, C- and D-list stars as Drew Lachey, John Salley and the executive producer of Ratatouille, we were astonished to see the list of celebs that organizers were able to wrangle for this year's race. Topping the list is none other Neo himself, Keanu Reeves, who is joined by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, Luke Wilson, Jon Hamm from Mad Men, Tim Daly from Private Practice, Tyson Beckford, Carlos Mencia, Raven-Symone and Alex Trebek, among others. The celebs will be causing mayhem on the track in a field of identically... Read More

"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
I'm also hoping to sign every player I made offers to. I only have 8 guys on the roster right now after I released my 2nd round picks.
Pfft, I only have 4.

I'm surprised how many FAs are being offered cheap contracts, especially compared to what they made last season.
Hornets78, if all goes as planned (highly unlikely), Etan will be my 6th man.
He probably will, Gooden was an excellent draft pick. Honestly, I'm trying to build a solid defensive team while avoiding players with C or less potential, since they stand a very good chance of getting worse in training camp. Etan fit the bill.
I retracted my fake fake offer.

Here is her first guest post on Everything Mom and Baby as I asked her to review the 7A.M. Enfant Papoose.
I am so happy to finally say that it is time to retire the thick winter bunting bag and time to start looking for a Spring one.
I absolutely love the 7 A.M. Enfant brand and was thrilled to hear that they recently came out with a light weight version of their winter bunting bag. I can truly say this product is WICKED.
It has a nice light weight plush fabric on the inside that is just so soft and the outer material is a water proof material which will come in handy for those April showers.
One of my favorite features is the pacifier pocket! I can't even tell how many times I have left the house to go for walk and left my son's paci back home and I only figure it out when he is screaming his head off and I have nothing to soothe him with. I know this pocket will come in handy and I am sure you mom's and dad's can agree.
- Comes in 5 great colours (Terri note: We know how important colour choice is!)
- Two sizes available, small/medium(0-18months), medium/large(18months-3yrs)
- Can be converted from stroller seat to a car seat liner
- Front full length zipper (Terri note: with a lot of bunting bags, the zipper does not go all the way to the end of bag)
- Machine washable (Terri note: This is a MUST!)
This is a great Spring product for rain and wind protection and I would say this is a stroller MUST HAVE!

Common vs. Commonplace
What is the difference between "common" and "commonplace"? In which situation can I replace "common" by "commonplace"?
Sort by
Although, there is considerable overlap of meaning, there is the difference. "Common" is word that predominantly means that something has no special distinction or quality, that it is average, ordinary and usual. "Commonplace" can add to "common" some kind of negative value judgement, like that something is dull and unexciting or repeated too often.
I think Aleksandra might be referring to the fact that "commonplace" (one word) has the meaning "ordinary" with the connotation "trite," "overused," and "uninteresting." Something makes me think that "common place" (two words) became a synonym for "common" by analogy. I can't think of any situation in which you can't use "common place" as a replacement for "common," but I prefer the concision and precision of "common."
Commonplace = overused and nothing unusual
Hmm, I respectfully disagree, Kyle. I would say it's just the opposite; I can't think of any situation in regular conversation where a person can't use "common" as a replacement for "commonplace." (Although I'm not clear on the distinction between spelling "commonplace" as one word or two. Also, according to the dictionary, there is an archaic meaning for "commonplace" that indicates a passage in a book used for reference.)
On the other hand, one cannot substitute "commonplace" for "common" when meaning something used or held jointly by more than one person. "The apartment building has a common garden" (used jointly by the tenants.) "Commonplace" in this sentence would suggest that the garden was unremarkable or lackluster. Likewise, "the two friends had common interests." Their interest could be in the Russian folk dances of the 18th Century, not a commonplace hobby.
Also, "common" can have the sense of being vulgar or coarse, as in, "All the people in the restaurant had their elbows on the table. It was so common!" If one were to substitute the word "commonplace" there, the sentence would imply that was an ordinary habit (perhaps of foreign culture, say.)
To me, the words are fully interchangeable for all the other senses. In addition to the more negative connotations of hackneyed or trite, "commonplace" shares the meaning of being prevalent, ordinary or ubiquitous. "While one rarely sees horses-drawn carriages in a big metropolis, in Central Park they are a commonplace sight." Of course, one might argue that hackneys are hackneyed.
