Friday Discussion: What Was Your First RPG Setting?
Today's topic: What was your first RPG/RPG campaign setting experience? Homebrew? Greyhawk? Arduin? Forgotten Realms? 3rd Imperium? How did it influence subsequent experiences?
Be as descriptive or succinct as you please, and have a great weekend! And Fight On!

I think it was Planescape.
Straight into the Abyss with your very first character. When running down a stair he slipped (I somehow missed the description of the stair being very smooth and there being lava at the bottom....)
Ah well, he was a member of the Doomguard so no biggie.... :'(

Mystara and Dark Sun, sort of simultaneously. Started playing with a group that was running campaigns in both worlds.
Looking forward to the 4th Edition version of Dark Sun more than anything. ;)

It was a homebrew my brother created. I think it was Krynn, which I later found out sounded very familiar with Dragonlance but that was just a coincidence.
We were Chosen Ones in the campaign to defeat a powerful necromancer that was leading a war and we had to unlock our powers before facing him.
My first published setting however was Forgotten Realms and it was love at first sight. I played a Ravenloft module before that but we never got further into the setting and I never knew what it was until much later.

My very first experience with RPGs was Marvel Super Heroes. I was (and still am) a huge comic nerd so this was a natural transition. It wasn't long before I was introduced to AD&D.
I remember playing "Keep on the Borderlands" and loved every minute of it. As a result, I continue to use this module to introduce new players to D&D, regardless of the edition. I've played KotB twice and run it as a DM at least 5 times with different groups of players for D&D 2e, 3e, 3.5e and 4e. The conversion takes a little bit of work, but my love of the adventure keeps me motivated. It's a classic for a reason.

I think the first setting (other than modules) I played in was Ravenloft. The first settting I ran (which was before I played in RL) was the Forgotten Realms.

A weird mix of the Borderlands and Portown from the old Blue Dragon cover which quickly merged into a Greyhawk heavily homebrewed into I am not really sure what!

The Frontier, from Star Frontiers! Megacorps, Star Law, and blob comedians. Mainly it spoiled me for subsequent SF settings that were on the balance less inventive.
First D&D game world was the Known World, later given the "sounds more made up to me" name of Mystara. KW doesn't get enough love, it was pretty cool.

Keep on the Borderlands started me off, and within a month I had a copy of the Expert rules too, so really it was a mutation of the classic B/X setting.

A homebrew fantasy with a big wall dividing the badguys land from the good guys. One of the PCs was a wizard named Gandalf and the bad guy was modeled heavily of Frank Frazeeta's Death Dealer (from the James Silke books).
Very quickly followed by the original FR boxed set. I loved all the old FR stuff.

Borderlands here, too. I think the Borderlands taught me that a campaign setting was simply a place to have an adventures. As a result some later settings I encountered felt like things unto themselves rather than game components.

My first rpg setting was the Known World of Mystara. It still serves as a reoccurring setting in my games. With many monsters (nagpas) and concepts law vs. chaos being most prevalent.
- April 17, 2009 at 9:06 AM
- Mike said...
Technically, it was Greyhawk, although I can't really count it as a "campaign" world. The characters in that campaign pretty much went straight from module to module ("Giants", then "Drow", the some of the "S" series) without much sightseeing in-between.
The first RPG setting that truly could be called an actual setting was a homebrew designed by my friend Eric called Tunnelworld. It was one of the most original settings I've ever seen. I liked it (and still like it) much better than Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms.
My own first setting as a DM was also a homebrew, called Maelstrom ... but it was really just Tunnelworld with the serial numbers filed off.

- mthomas768 said...
Homebrew all the way. Mostly because there was no other choice back then.
- April 17, 2009 at 9:18 AM
"Aventurien" from "Das Schwarze Auge" was my first setting. My first steps led me into the city of Havena and the Orcish Lands.

Interesting, care to elaborate?

Started with the Borderlands, and later spent many hours poring over the maps in the Greyhawk set and reading the descriptions of the lands represented on it.
But since we were in our early teens, most of the adventures started with our party at the mouth of the dungeon/temple/cave/castle, with little to no interaction with the world.
When we found Star Frontiers we started interacting a little more with the world, but we didn't really hit our stride in that regard until we discovered the Old World setting of WFRP. Not sure why - I guess all of us were junior history buffs and could easily imagine a "dark and gritty" medieval/renaissance world.

My first was a homebrew called Flammarion. It had such lands as the Barony of Lum, the Duchy of Aaqa, and so forth; names culled from the scant materials of the time.

I go back so far I'm not sure we knew that the word 'homebrew' existed but that's as good a word as any.
It was 1977, Basic D&D and I was a Halfling travelling from my original, farming shire-like land to the capital of the Human kingdom to find my father who had gone there to give our native Pepperthorn Sauce to the Human King and never returned.
The fiery hot liquid gave Humans and Halflings super strength for a limited time assuming the spiciness didn't make'em pass out.

I've never played in established campaign settings. We (me and my buds) read the stuff, thought it was boring, and went on. However, my first foray into non-homebrew adventuring was Red Hand of Doom for D&D 3.5. I still contend it is about the only module I can stand to play, and this is after playing numerous other modules. It is seriously a nice piece of work even if it's for a system I can't stand to play anymore.

The Keep on the Borderlands plus a city I named Zonguldak (yes, I pulled the name off a map of Turkey) built mainly out of inns, taverns, etc from Dragon Magazine articles of the early 80s. With the advent of 1st Edition we transitioned to Greyhawk, and then to an obsessively mapped homebrew... I received a Rainbow Crafts Magnajector one Christmas so I had superhuman powers to blow up my own maps onto the wall!

- clash bowley said...
I launched straight into Jalan, and played there with (A)D&D for twenty years. I later released it as the Book of Jalan with a different system, but the setting is the same. I never used a published setting until I stopped playing D&D.

6th grade, on the playground, my friend drew a dungeon on some graph paper (complete with pictures of the monsters) and we used a six-sided die for all the rolls. He "learned" the game by watching his older brother play. I was instantly hooked and managed, a week or two later, to pick up the Moldvay red box at Toys-R-Us.

Glorantha was my first RPG setting.
The first scenario was from Chaosium's Apple Lane supplement 'Rainbow Mounds'.
I was playing a Black Fang Brotherhood Assassin who managed to fall off the bridge into the water.
The GM, a friend of my brother, then switched to dealing with how my sister was doing with her character.
Only after an hour did he reveal I had been rescued by Newtlings.

Keep on the Border Lands then Greyhawk.

It's fuzzy, but I would guess that the first proper rpg (as opposed to something like Heroquest) I played was the Fighting Fantasy spinoff, and that didn't really have a setting as such. The first time we really gamed in a setting was probably Shadowrun 2e, around 1994ish.
- April 17, 2009 at 12:20 PM
I started out with the D&D Basic set. First module I ran was B4, Lost City. Didn't take me long to get the expert set and some 1st edition books.
- April 17, 2009 at 1:26 PM
- Scott said...
The first module I ever played was B4 The Lost City, so if we're counting mini-settings contained within a single module (as many of the commenters seem to be doing), then that was my first campaign setting as well.
The first ongoing campaign I ever played in was a homebrew, campy mix of D&D (mechanics), Gamma World, and Star Wars (setting only, the mechanics were all D&D).
The first ongoing campaign I ever ran was World of Greyhawk, using the Fate of Istus supermodule.

I guess I'm not the unique snowflake I thought I was: Keep on the Borderlands with the Holmes set was my first. As we played it out I started crudely drawing in the margins on the outdoor map as an extension of the setting.
Weirdly, I recently bought a copy of B2 off of Ebay--and it had crudely-drawn extensions of the roads and river in the margins! Made me wonder how much parallel evolution occurred like that.

For me it was Rifts. Started out playing a dragon fresh out of her egg and full of wide-eyed innocence. Which was kinda fitting now that I think about it...

Another Borderlander, here. That expanded to the Known World with the Expert set, which became Mystara when it was incorporated into 2E AD&D.
- April 17, 2009 at 3:21 PM
- MJ Harnish said...
My first official setting was Greyhawk but prior to picking it up we played for a couple years setting-less (or more properly in a homebrew setting that only appeared as background to our killing orcs and dragons).
- April 17, 2009 at 3:49 PM

Some kind of king arthurian thing. knights of the round table deal.
I got killed by a hag.
- April 17, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Homebrew... 1977 D&D in Espana several hundred years after the Third World War. Radiation zones, mutants, magic & mayhem. Our party slayed a dragon, however couldn't figure out an economical manner in which to haul 47,000+ Gp to a nearby secure location. We ended up taking what we could carry, and the session ended with a cliffhanger with my wizard/thief trapped in the claws of a giant angry crab. Session 2, 30 seconds in. Scratch one MU/Thief.
- April 17, 2009 at 7:30 PM
- Kiashu said...
I guess after my first few dungeon crawls... it must have been Greyhawk, since it was all AD&D modules. But we just played modules as they came to us, which meant a 4th level character was needed for this one, an 8th level for the next, a 2nd level for the other, and so on - so we didn't keep the same characters from one campaign to another, and didn't really have a sense of "campaign".
- April 17, 2009 at 9:33 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Wow. Borderlands really seems to deserve its reputation as sort of the Ellis Island of D&D! :)
- April 17, 2009 at 10:43 PM
- The Badger King said...
Surprisingly, I have played in very very few "campaigns". Most of my adventuring was modules. My first experience, way back around 1980, was with a quasi-homebrew that used Greyhawk modules, Basic D&D rules, and a whole storyline my friend was putting together in his head. He would write out stats for his various action figures, and we would run them through "adventures". Eventually, we moved on to AD&D, and ran through most of the Greyhawk "classics". Come to think of it, almost all the (semi-)persistent campaigns I've played in the many forms of D&D have been Greyhawk. However, the MOST persisten campaign I've ever played was a Twilight: 2000 campaign.

I played in a bunch of settings without even realising it for the first few years!
The first one that really stood out was the Old World for WFRP.

Got a question about the 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat: DXVCF? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
In terms of pop, how does this bat compare to the -11 CF6?
The 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXVCF) and the DeMarini CF6 (DXCFS) will feature about the same pop. The 1.15 BPF certifications that both these bats feature limit the performance or "pop" that the bats are capable of; because of this, factors such as sweet spot size and feel at contact are often the biggest difference between the two bat models.
Does it have "FastPitch" and "ASA" stamped on it?
Yes the 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXVCF) does have both of those stamped on the bat.
I just purchased this bat for my 12 year old, and this is her first composite bat. What exactly is the break-in process?
Generally, for composite materials, we recommend a break-in of around 125-150 swings either soft toss or off of a tee. After each swing, rotate the barrel a quarter an inch to help loosen up the composite fibers all the way around the barrel. This process should make the 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat: (DXVCF) ready for play, and will boost the performance.

4/16 in Yankee History
The Cleveland Indians will spoil the party, however, by administering a 10-2 drubbing to the hosts, including a 9-run 7th inning after the departure of C.C. Sabathia. Cliff Lee, who will return in another uniform to bedevil the Yanks in the World Series, gets the win, while
Damaso Marte takes the loss for the Bombers.
1984: Future blogger & podcaster, fervent Yankee fan, oil industry titan, graduate student and all-around goddess Hiba Thamer (@GoGetMyCoffee on Twitter) is born in the Bronx.
It's always a comfort to know that she's out there sharing with me the late-night airwaves that are the life of the displaced Yankee fan…
Happy birthday, Hibs!
1967: The Yankees play the longest regular season game in their history. At the Stadium, the Yanks and the Red Sox struggle for 18 innings before New York wins it' 7-6' in a game that lasts 5 hours and 50 minutes. Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro each have 5 hits for the Sox' but it is Joe Pepitone's two-out single that beats Lee Stange. Al Downing is the winner.
On other 16ths of April…
2010: Boone Logan is recalled from AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre.
2009: Newly injured right fielder Xavier Nady is placed on the 15-Day disabled list retroactive to April 15, with right elbow pain that will not effectively subside. To fill the opening on the roster, David Robertson is recalled from AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre, marking the beginning of a season when the young reliever moves from the lower reaches of the depth chart to the eventual status of reliable postseason performer.
2004: The Bombers get off to a rough start at Fenway, making two 1st inning errors to match the equally dubious pitching of Javier Vazquez, who gives up homers in the frame, to Bill Mueller and Manny Ramirez. Quickly up 4-0, the Red Sox roll to a 6-2 win.
1982: At Detroit' the Yankees Roy Smalley makes all three outs – in the 3rd inning as the Bombers score 5 times.
Smalley strikes out to start the frame' and ends it by lining into a double play. Ron Guidry coasts to his first win of the year' 10-2.
1977: Sparky Lyle will have a 13-5, 26-save Cy Young Award-winning season this year, but today is not one of his better days, as the reliever gives up a two-run game tying HR to Cecil Cooper at Milwaukee. A subsequent triple by Sal Bando and a walkoff single by Steve Brye put the game in the win column for the Brewers.
1972: With a rainout yesterday' the Orioles and Yankees decide to open the season in Baltimore with a doubleheader. But rain wipes out the nitecap and the O's win the rain-shortened opener before just 11'995 fans' 3-1. There is one out in the bottom of the 7th when the game is called. The O's score an unearned run in the 2nd and Brooks Robinson knocks in two more to back Pat Dobson's pitching. After a long rain delay' Doyle Alexander pitched the 7th for the O's.
1964: At the Stadium' Whitey Ford pitches 11 innings in losing to the Red Sox' 4-3. Bob Tillman' with three singles' triples in the 11th' and pinch runner Roman Mejias scores on wild pitch. Mickey Heffner pitches the bottom of the 11th' with Dick Radatz getting the win.
1962: The Yankees release Robin Roberts' signed in the off-season. The Orioles will sign the veteran on May 21st.
1957: At the Stadium' Andy Carey's bases-loaded fly ball single in the 9th gives the Yankees a 2-1 win over the Senators' as Whitey Ford bests Chuck Stobbs. Yogi Berra accounts for the other Yankee run with a 7th inning homer. The 0-2 Senators will lose 16 of their next 20.
1946: At Shibe Park' Spud Chandler' 38' allows just 5 hits as the Yankees beat the A's' 5-0.
Chandler spent most of 1944-45 in the Army and appeared in just 5 games in two years. Joe DiMaggio has a two-run homer and Tommy Henrich a two-run double to pace the offense. A's starter Russ Christopher allows all the runs in his six innings of work.
1945: Former Yankee bench player Chick Fewster dies at the age of 49. After being traded to the Red Sox, Fewster also got the first hit in Yankee Stadium history, a single on the ballpark's inaugural day of April 18, 1923.
1944: Jack Hand of the Associated Press names the Yankees as the favourite to win the AL pennant. Like most observers' he picks the St. Louis Browns to finish last.
1940: Before 20'187 at Shibe Park' Chubby Dean outlasts Red Ruffing as the A's defeat the defending champion Yankees' 2-1' in ten innings.
It is Dean's first complete game in the majors. New York's only run is unearned in the 3rd inning' but the A's tie it up on a Bob Johnson solo homer. Chubby Dean's long sac fly in the 10th off Ruffing drives in the winning run.
1937: Joe DiMaggio' who has suffered from a lame throwing arm recently' has his tonsils and adenoids removed at Lenox Hill hospital. He will miss his second straight Opener.
1935: The Yankees open at the Stadium' losing 1-0' to the Red Sox. New York get just two hits off winning pitcher Wes Ferrell' but also make two throwing errors in the 6th inning' one by pitcher Lefty Gomez' to allow Bill Werber to score the game's only run.

4/18 in Yankee History
The red-letter days –
1929: The Yankees take the field with uniform numbers for the first
time. The numbers are assigned according to the player's spot in the
lineup: Combs' 1; Koenig' 2; Ruth' 3; Gehrig' 4; Meusel' 5; Lazzeri 6;
Durocher 7; Grabowski' 8.
After two cancellations of their season start, the Yankees open
against the Red Sox before 40'000 at the Stadium' winning 7-3. Judge
Landis presents diamond-studded watches to the New York players in
honor of their championship season in 1928. New York Starter George
Pipgras allows just 3 hits in 5 1/3 innings' but walks 9. Reliever Fred
Heimach then pitches hitless ball to preserve the win. In his first at
bat against Boston's Red Ruffing' the newly wed Babe Ruth hits a homer
and as he rounds 2nd base' he doffs his cap to his bride Claire in the
stands. Gehrig adds a round tripper in the 6th' off Milt Gaston. The
win goes to George Pipgras (# 14)' with Fred Heimach (#17) picking up
the save.
1923: On a balmy spring day' the debut of Yankee Stadium I is a huge
success, with an announced attendance of 74'217. Another 25'000 are
turned away. Police arrest two scalpers: one man for trying to sell a
$1.10 grandstand ticket for $1.25' while another tries to get $1.50.
Governor Al Smith throws out the first ball. Bob Shawkey' aided by Babe
Ruth's 3-run homer (the venue's first) in the 3rd inning' beats Howard
Ehmke and the Red Sox 4-1. Ruth also makes the Stadium's first error.
Shawkey allows 3 hits' including an RBI triple in the 7th by former
Yank Norm McMillan.
On other 18ths of April…
2005: The Yankees score an AL record-tying (for the inning) 13 runs in
the 2nd frame on their way to a 19-8 thrashing of the Devil Rays. Alex
Rodriguez leads the 20-hit barrage with 5 safeties' including 2 doubles
and a pair of HRs' and 6 RBI. He scores 5 runs. Tino Martinez also
drives home 6 runs for NY. The last time the Yankees scored 13 runs in
an inning was in 1945; the team record of 14 in an inning was set in
1920 against the Senators.
2003: The Yankees beat the Twins' 11-4. New York starting pitchers have
a combined 11-0 record' tying the 1990 Milwaukee Brewers for the best
start by a rotation in the last 50 years.
1998: The Yankees set a team record for the longest win streak in
Detroit as they win their 12th straight' beating the Tigers' 8-3. It is
their 8th straight win overall and David Cone's first of the year. Greg
Keagle takes the loss. The Tigers will beat the Yanks tomorrow' 2-1.
1955: Mickey Mantle's 2-run homer in the 3rd off Harry Byrd provides
all the scoring Whitey Ford needs' as the lefty tosses a 3-hitter
against the Orioles. New York top the O's' 6-0.
1951: Southpaw Eddie Lopat 2-hits the Red Sox' as the Yankees win, 6-1.
1950: At Fenway' Happy Chandler gives Ted Williams his MVP Award' and
then Governor Paul Dever tosses out the first ball. To the delight of
31'822 fans' Boston rip Yankee starter Allie Reynolds with a five-run
4th inning to drive the Chief from the game and take a 9-0 lead. But
the Yanks answer with four in the 6th off Mel Parnell and then' down
10-4' New York unload for nine runs in the 8th. Billy Martin (2-for-2)
becomes the first player in history to get two base hits in one inning
in his major league debut. He doubles against Mel Parnell on his first
at bat in the 8th' and singles off Al Papai. Walt Masterson gives up
Tommy Henrich's 2nd triple of the game before giving way to four more
Sox hurlers. Boo Ferriss' pitching in his last game' allows the last
two runs in the 9th inning as the Yanks chalk up a 15-10 win. The game
marks the biggest lead the Sox have ever blown at Fenway to date (on
June 4' 1989' they'll blow a 10-run lead at home). Joe DiMaggio' Yogi
Berra' Vern Stephens' and Bobby Doerr each have three hits. Don Johnson
is the winner' his last one for New York' with Joe Page pitching a
perfect 8th and 9th in relief.
1948: Yankee Stadium I accommodates its largest crowd ever for an
exhibition game, as 62,369 fans watch the Dodgers edge the home side
1944: At Fenway Park' Hank Borowy of the Yankees shuts out the Red Sox
3-0 on five hits' as New York's Johnny Lindell hits the first home run
of 1944' an opposite field shot in the 2nd inning. Lance 'Yank' Terry
allows 7 hits in 7 innings to take the loss for Boston.
1938: At Fenway Park' Boston's Jim Bagby' Jr. becomes the 7th pitcher

Imagine being in a place where all you do is party most of the time. That could be the best place on earth isn't it? Well then, you have to make a trip to Edinburgh, especially during July or early September when the town celebrates a series of festivals known as the Edinburgh Festival. There's also the Hogmanay celebration which takes place on the last day of the year. The participants of this festival numbered 300,000 in one weekend. Edinburgh is not only a party place; it is also home to many famous historical structures. The beauty of the city can be seen from various viewpoints, one of which is the Edinburgh Castle from the 12th century. Equally majestic is the Mound, a man-made hill that houses some of the most important structures of Scotland, including the Bank of Scotland and the National Gallery of Scotland.
To make it convenient for you to discover Edinburgh, cheap hotels were put up close to various places of interest. There are also luxury Edinburgh hotels that will give you the experience of being a king for a day. But even the discount hotels Edinburgh are sure to satisfy you with their great hospitality and comfortable accommodation.

AgeNewborn - 6 Months
Rated 3 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by avita Simply did not work for me. I am truly surprised that all the reviews were so positive. My baby was a MAMA centric newborn. The chair did not occupy her for long, at most 10 minutes and if I was "too far" (we live in Brooklyn so I mean like 5 feet or more away) she would start crying sooner. I think it is great for parents that could make it work, but before spending so much money, I would wait until the baby is a few weeks old, and if she/he cries with anyone but mama, hates being put down, hates sleeping in crib and must sleep in your arms or in your bed (get the idea?), don't waste your money. December 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Useful and sleek We purchased the Mamaroo bouncer after seeing it at a friends' house. Their newborn was quietly and contently rocking in it during an entire dinner party and we were amazed. Our son loved the Mamaroo from day one and we still put him in it at 7 months. It has a comfortable, ergo-dynamic shape and has several rocking options which rapidity can be increased or decreased. It also includes a button for soothing natural musical sounds (i.e. rainforest, chimes, wind, ect...), although we rarely used that feature. We highly recommend the Mamaroo not only for its sleek modern look (it actually looks like a piece of design furniture in our living room!) but also for its utility and versatility. As an aside, everyone who came to visit the baby marvelled not only at him but also at the Mamaroo! People always comment on how cool it looks, in addition to being incredibly useful (other than his stroller, it was the only thing we sat our son in for the first 6 months). December 11, 2012

|An old school, low and slow way to cook up a barbecue sauced chicken in the oven, the way that grandma used to make it.
Old School Oven Barbecued ChickenThis oven barbecue chicken is a great way to get indoor barbecue flavor when the grill is covered under snow, it's just too darned cold or you're too tired to fool with grilling. And yes, I realize that pouring commercially bottled barbecue sauce over chicken and baking it is absolutely deliciously easy, this recipe is the old school way of baking up a barbecued chicken dish.
The chicken cooks low and slow with a few interruptions for basting - y'all pretty much know how much I adore that method of cooking by now don't you? It's a simple and delicious supper anytime, and the result is a tender, juicy and very flavorful barbecue chicken.
You start by searing some chicken in a combo of butter and olive oil - I used a whole chicken I cut up myself this time but you can do this with your favorite pieces if you prefer. Just adjust your cooking times accordingly. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Saute about half of a sliced, medium sized onion in the same pan you cooked the chicken in, just until the onion is softened. Deglaze the pan with a splash of water, scrape up the browned bits in the pan, and transfer the contents over the chicken.
Whisk together the chili sauce, water, brown sugar, paprika, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Kitchen Bouquet, liquid smoke, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. I decided to add in some mustard to mine this time, making a sort of Carolina style I suppose, but you can omit the mustard if you prefer. Pour that mixture all over the top of the chicken. Bake at 325 degrees F, uncovered, for about 1-1/2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through, basting several times.
By the way, anybody else still have one of these baking dishes hanging around? I've had this Cornflower Blue baker since 1977, and believe it or not, I have used it regularly ever since. Guess it's pretty much a vintage piece now, sorta like me.
Recipe: Old School Oven Barbecued Chicken©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 1 hour 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 (3-4 pound) whole chicken, cut up
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 cup of chili sauce or ketchup
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/8 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet
- Splash of liquid smoke, optional
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Couple dashes of dried, red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, optional
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet in slightly over medium heat. Season one side of the chicken with salt and pepper, placing the seasoned side down in the skillet. Once in the pan, season the top and when browned, turn to brown the other side. Remove to a roasting or baking pan. Add the sliced onion to the pan drippings and cook until tender and lightly browned. Deglaze the pan with a splash of water, scraping up the browned bits in the pan. Pour over the chicken.
Meanwhile whisk together all of the remaining ingredients. Pour over chicken and bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F, basting several times, for about 1-1/2 hours or until juices run clear.
Crockpot: Follow all directions and add chicken, then onions and then sauce to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours for a whole cut up chicken. Remove the skin from larger pieces for best results.

Editor's note: John Foubert is the author of "The Men's and Women's Programs: Ending Rape Through Peer Education" (Taylor & Francis). He is the founder and national president of One in Four, a public nonprofit rape prevention organization with 15 campus-based chapters whose programs have been presented to 100,000-plus college students and military personnel worldwide. He is an associate professor of higher education and student affairs at Oklahoma State University
(CNN) -- An e-mail from a Georgia Tech fraternity member to his Phi Kappa Tau brothers came to light this week. It was about how to "succeed at parties," or more specifically "luring your rapebait." It came with repulsively detailed instructions about how to scope out a target, weaken her defenses with alcohol, grab her and -- you get the idea.
You can expect well-meaning commentators and bloggers to wonder how such a horrible man could have done such a thing, much less have gotten into a good college. Others will wonder why one fraternity's culture would be so toxic. University officials will go into damage-control mode, noting how they hold students accountable for violations of policy and that they have an otherwise low rate of rape on their campus. They may say, well, this was just an e-mail.
Sadly, it's all so predictable.
The "rapebait" e-mail could have been sent from almost any fraternity at almost any American college or university. A study I published in 2007 with my colleagues Jerry Tatum and J.T. Newberry found that fraternity men were three times more likely to commit rape than other men on college campuses. It was the third study showing that fraternity men are three times more likely to rape.
Opinion: We can counter "rapebait" culture
The definition of "success" in the e-mail sounds eerily similar to what David Lisak identifies as rape in his research on profiling "undetected rapists" -- college men who have committed rape and/or attempted rape, an average of six times each, but are never reported and never are held accountable for their crimes.
What was particularly remarkable about our study is that we found that it was the fraternity experience that led men to be more likely to rape. We traced entering freshmen from the time they got to campus through their first year of college. We asked them whether they committed acts of sexual violence before they got to college (many had). We then compared the rates of sexual assault among men who joined fraternities to the rates of sexual assault among men who did not join fraternities.
In 2011: Vermont fraternity chapter closed over rape survey
What we found was highly instructive. Before they got to college, fraternity men were no different from other male students. They committed the same number of incidents of sexual assaults before college. But here's the difference. Guys who joined a fraternity then committed three times as many sexual assaults as those who didn't join. It is reasonable to conclude that fraternities turn men into guys more likely to rape. Our study confirmed that fraternities provide the culture of male peer support for violence against women that permits bad attitudes to become treacherous behavior. And that should concern everyone.
We need more action.
Opinion: Why don't some boys see it as rape?
There are a lot of us across the country who have worked for decades trying to prevent rape on college campuses. Many experience high levels of frustration at the lack of commitment on the part of colleges and universities to face the issue. Rarely does a college discuss sexual assault with its students for more than 60 minutes in an entire college career, if they do at all.
There are many great approaches to prevention. In our case at One in Four, we have spent the last 20 years refining an intervention that lasts for one hour called the Men's Program. Our research, published in peer-reviewed journals, shows that when fraternity men see it, 40% fewer sexual assault incidents occur.
One would think that national fraternities would embrace such an approach to educating their members. Sadly, when given numerous opportunities to do so, they prefer to pretend they aren't responsible. Though there are a few universities that are beginning to do more comprehensive prevention programming, they are the exception. We know that prevention programming can help a great deal. We just need to make it a priority. How difficult is that?

Meet up with "Bloody MacKenzie" and other legends in this fascinating tour of Edinburgh's paranormal past.
It is a city that has seen invasion, disease and persecution, where history was written in blood as frequently as in ink. It has borne witness to an astonishing list of terrible and tragic events.
HAUNTED EDINBURGH is a fascinating tour of the side of the city the tourist brochures don't talk about. We'll hear from workers at Holyrood Palace, the erstwhile home of the Scottish monarchy, where the ghost of the man thought to be Mary Queen of Scots' lover is said to reside to this day. Some contend she is with him in death. But that's just the first stop on a journey that gets stranger with each step. From the remains of the abandoned city where thousands of plague victims breathed their last to an ornate 15th century chapel with an "astral doorway" leading to an endless world of ghostly creatures, prepare to descend into the dark mysteries of HAUNTED EDINBURGH.
Occupied since the Bronze Age, Edinburgh took shape during the 11th century--and soon after tales of ghosts and goblins began to surface.

Now, It's Goodby's Turn to Celebrate the Chevy 'Centennial'
Now that we've got the whole Mother/Chevy/Goodby confusion out of the way (we hope), here's the previously mentioned "Centennial" work from GS&P that broke during game one of the World Series last night. The spot, which is called "Then & Now" and was created in conjunction with Park Pictures and director/DP Lance Acord, celebrates the automotive brand that was founded on November 3, 1911 by Swiss immigrant Louis Chevrolet and U.S. entrepreneur Billy Durant. While it's all nice and tender and all, commenters on YouTube are already calling foul, claiming this ad is ripping off the blog, Dear Photograph. Well, at least the "Let's Do This" Chevy Sonic work that Goodby is also behind is fairly novel. What say you, readers? Credits after the jump.

Hi there,
For the past several months, I've been encountering Buddhist thoughts, ideas, principles in my readings and have become very interested in the principles of the religion. I am a very rational person. I don't believe in God, or supernatural things. Rebirth, karma. That doesn't appeal to me. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist either. I think the Buddha was a genius and his ideas were way ahead of his time. But religions are things I tend to abhor because of my background and because they are not things I'd like to associate myself with.
I've been through a lot in my life. I come from a muslim background. I have never really believed, however, and am an Atheist. That has been a source of conflict with my family for ages.
Pain is something that I've become associated with deeply, but as I get older, I have begun to see that Life is indeed suffering. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
The more that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. I've been through a bit of a hellish few years, and hellish year in general, and a really hellish few months. The last 3 weeks of which have been spent in a lot of agony, with lots of demons resurfacing. I've been stuck in my thoughts. It's been difficult to get out of bed. I've been suicidal, and then i've found clarity, only to lose it again. It's been up and down. And It was draining, mentally and physically. But it's all a process, and I'm stepping forwards bit by bit, even if it's protracted. Clinging, attachment, and my demons--I've been spinning all this around in my head non stop. It's been difficult to find ways to shut my brain off actually. But I don't regret it. I'm going to be a better person because of it.
But this week I finally gave in and started to begin the process of learning how to meditate. That's been helpful too in getting some clarity. Even though for the most part, because there's so much going on, a lot of things surface when I attempt to sit still and relax and clear my head. Really really strange things. I try to just observe and let them pass.
I guess I'm here because I'm on a journey in my life to become a happier person. To deal with myself from the inside. To heal old wounds, and learn to love the damaged kid inside of me. And I want to discuss that with other people who might be on the same journey as me or who just have useful things to say and experience that comes with it.

Regional Cloud Hubs
By Bob Violino
Striving to increase efficiency and improve services at a time when budgets are tighter, state and local governments are turning to IT solutions that can help them meet their goals. Like many technology users in business, government agencies are implementing virtualization, cloud computing, and mobile devices and applications to help keep costs in line and deliver quality services to the public.
Virtualization—at both the server and desktop level—has enabled Iowa's Workforce Development Agency (IWD) to save money and improve services. The agency contributes to the economic security of Iowa's workers, businesses and communities through a comprehensive statewide system of employment services, along with education and the regulation of health, safety and employment laws.
Facing budget cuts at both the state and federal level, IWD was forced to reduce the number of its physical offices across the state from 55 to 19, but it still needed a way to provide services. "Even though budgets were being cut tremendously, the need to provide services was not reduced," says Gary Bateman, CIO at IWD. "Our citizens still need our services, and we needed to find a better way to provide those services."
The department had been providing virtual desktops to its employees for a couple of years, using software from VMware. When faced with losing physical offices, it decided to expand the use of the virtual technology to allow citizens access to services without the need to drive to one of the remaining offices.
To accomplish that, IWD teamed with public partners that already had Internet access—including libraries, places of worship, abuse shelters, National Guard Armories, and high schools across the state—to offer the same services previously available only in physical offices.
IWD began the rollout of virtual access points (VAP) in July 2011 and set a goal of deploying a total of 200 sites—with at least one in all 99 counties—by the end of 2011. The agency did more than meet this goal: It far surpassed it, with more than 500 sites and almost 2,000 desktops by year end.
When the agency started deploying virtual desktops to employees a few years ago, it encountered a problem managing storage for the new virtualized desktop environment. To solve the problem of data access bottlenecks and for easier management of data, IWD purchased a storage management system from NetApp.
"Having VMware coupled with the storage system from NetApp [gave] us the flexibility to react quickly when we needed to deploy VAPs across the state," says Jean Foshier, lead systems architect with the agency.
IWD is also benefiting from a server virtualization strategy that it launched more than four years ago using virtualization software from VMware and blade servers. About 85 percent of the department's Windows and Linux servers are now virtualized, and IWD has reduced the number of physical servers considerably, Foshier says.
The department is also expanding its use of tablets and smartphones to provide employees with easier access to applications and data from a variety of locations.
"VMware allows us to run a virtual Windows 7 desktop on an iPad and reap the benefits of mobility without the risk of storing data on the mobile device," says CIO Bateman. "This technology is allowing us to provide services to more people than was possible with physical offices."
Moving to the Cloud
Like virtualization and mobility, cloud computing is becoming a key part of the IT strategy of state and local governments.
In 2010, the city of Alexandria, Va., decided to move a number of IT services to the cloud, as part of an overall effort to streamline technology and tech support throughout the municipality, says Shelly Ryan, deputy director of Alexandria's Information Technology Services.
The city signed up for Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA), Microsoft's licensing program that enables organizations to choose either on-premises or cloud services. "It was a strategic move for us because previously we were under a Microsoft licensing agreement that did not lend itself to economies of scale," Ryan says.
In addition, the city was using three or four versions of Microsoft Office throughout its user environment, and it wanted to standardize on one version while moving to a hosted model. Having multiple versions of software "was a support and training nightmare," Ryan says. With its move to the Microsoft cloud, the city is now using one version of Office.
One of the most effective ways Alexandria is leveraging the cloud is for email management. The city had been using Lotus Notes Domino for email and collaboration for about 10 years. While the platform served a useful purpose over the years, it wasn't able to work with the Microsoft collaboration tools that the government wanted to use, such as Exchange, SharePoint, Live Meeting, instant messaging and Web conferencing.
The city used software from Quest Software Public Sector to securely move users' email mailboxes—including all historical email data—to the cloud. Alexandria now uses hosted services for its email and collaboration needs.
"We had a large amount of email data, and Quest developed a tool that allows us to take all of that on-premises data and synchronize it to the cloud in a very efficient fashion, so we had no loss of data and no downtime," Ryan says. "We moved 2,700 mailboxes in less than six months."
Alexandria's move to the cloud allowed the city government to adapt to budget concerns. "Given that we're a local government, we are [frequently] looking at budget constraints," Ryan says, and using the cloud rather than on-premises applications has enabled the government to avoid significant costs.
The city has seen cost savings and cost avoidance with the move. The savings comes through the elimination of about 15 servers and the associated support and backup costs. And by adopting the new cloud licensing model, Alexandria estimates it will avoid some $1.2 million licensing-related costs over a six-year period.
The new communications and collaboration features have improved worker productivity and efficiency, enabling city workers to better serve citizens through more rapid responses, Ryan says. People can connect more easily not only internally with other city employees, but externally as well. Many are using tablet devices and smartphones to access the new communications and collaboration features.
This improved connectivity, including Web conferencing, also enables more people to work from home effectively. By increasing the number of teleworkers, Alexandria can operate in a more environmentally friendly way, Ryan says.
There have been challenges during in the transition to the cloud and new email platform. One of the biggest was getting users to adapt to change.
"We had cultural issues that we had to address," Ryan says. "Some people liked the legacy email platform and moving was traumatic for them. We had to be diligent with set up, training and communications."
Regional Cloud Hubs
Such moves to the cloud are expected to become more common among government agencies. A new type of government cloud service has emerged that could significantly change the way state and local governments procure online computing services, says Shawn McCarthy, research director at IDC Government Insights.
Using "regional cloud hubs," one government agency offers computing services to other government agencies, McCarthy says.
"In many cases, moderate or even zero capital expenditures are needed to take advantage of cloud offerings," he says. "The solutions are either developed in-house or are commercially developed private clouds dedicated to government use and designed to meet specific government standards."
This evolution of cloud computing has the potential to trigger several "game-changing" consequences, McCarthy says. For the host facility, it can turn a government agency cost center into a revenue center. "By selling cloud solutions to other government organizations, host agencies can offset their costs," he adds.
In addition, local governments can buy cheaper cloud solutions than they might find on their own, and they might be able to reduce capital expenses, McCarthy says. "Cloud services already are replacing internal client/server as the main model for government application delivery," he states.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Kids Room Blindsgalore Cordless Semi-Opaque Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Great Product"
By gomolk 75 from Manchester, NH
The blinds were the perfect size, super easy to install, and the color was perfect! Highly recommend!View this product
"Love them"
By Jo from Pennsylvania
I bought 4 different blinds for the kitchen. They are true to color. I love them and they arrived before promised. One thing to consider (and maybe I didn't read the measuring chart correctly) is order an extra inch or two to the total length as the blinds when pulled down are maxed out. Other than that I love the blinds and highly recommend them!View this product

About dragon_chick_99's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I am just a simple, down to earth hillbilly. I know no stranger, and I refuse to look down my nose at anyone. I ain't no better than anybody, and ain't nobody better than me. I have had a passion for cars as long as I can remember. Aways hanging around my dad, following him everywhere he went. I guess I'm a bit of a tomboy, never have been afraid of getting dirty. I also served 4yrs. active duty in the US ARMY stationed at Ft. Campbell KY the whole time with the exception of basic training and job training (AIT). Me and my husband Mike are really enjoying our Trans Am. We take it to shows and every now and then the drag strip (can't take it to much, gas is to high). My husband has taught me alot of things about cars, but I still have alot more to learn. I have prob. learned more about my T/A than I have any of my other cars. I know she is supppose to have a 305hp engine, but when we put it on the dyno she was pulling 298hp at the rear. I think she might have a little more than 305hp. And this was before the flowmaster exhaust kit and SLP cold air induction kit. But like I said I still have alot to learn.
My first car
My 1st car was an 88 Chevy Berretta w/ a 2.8 liter V6. It was white w/ red interior and had all digital gauges (that's what I liked best about it). Unfortunately about nine months later the brakes failed on me and I wound up slamming it thru a telephone pole and rolling it a couple of times, ending up belly up. Surprisingly I just had minor scratches from all the flying glass. No sprains, strains, broken bones, or cuts that needed stitches (yes I was wearing my seatbelt, it and the hand of God saved my life). The car however didn't do so well, TOTALED! I do still miss it.
Car I wish I still had
Even though I am now a die hard f-bodie fan, I still wish I had my 94 Ford Thunderbird. It was blue that sometimes looked green at night, it had a 3.8 liter V6 (2nd V6 car i've owned). It had alot of power for a V6, I squeeled the tires several times on take off. lol. It was also so comfortable to ride in and had anawsome stereo for being stock. The fate of this one was caused by a piston arm going thru the oil pan (OUCH!). Me and my husband didn't have the money to get it back on the road. O f course it would've had a longer life if the previous owner had taken care of it. (I can't stress enough how important it is to do preventive maintenance on your veh. i.e. oil changes, plugs, wires, and so on.) It was a good car while we had her, she is still missed.
My dream car
I already have my dream car, a 99 Pontiac Trans Am. I used to think it was a Mustang but after getting turned down so many times at the dealership it made me wonder. Then in spring of 2003 my husband spotted a white 99 Trans Am at a Nissan dealership. We went in looked a tthe car applied for a loan and 2 days later she was ours! I know this is my dream car because not to long ago my mom was telling me that when she first found out she was pregnant with me her and my dad went out to watch a movie to celebrate. They watched Smokie and the Bandit. So I then understood that it was meant for me to own a Trans Am. May not be like the one that was in the movies, but it is a Trans Am just the same, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! now it has changed a little, it's now my 2001 T/A mixed in with my '99 :)

If you have multiple children, you know the worst situation a parent can have: there are several options, but only one that is good, and everyone wants it. It doesn't even matter if that option really isn't good by adult standards.
Now that my oldest son, Ford, is almost 14, he spends a lot of time thinking about what it means to be an adult. I don't remember thinking the same way when I was 14, but I'm sure my husband, Dustin, did. This is likely a lesson in birth order, society's expectations of boys versus girls, or just a matter of me being nothing like Ford and Dustin.
We were in the market for a new car, and it had been awhile. In fact, now that our youngest child is 7, this would be the first new car in 14 years we'd buy without thought of carseats.
I have you in mind quite a bit. I am keenly aware that my three boys will live with me for a mere 18 years and with you for a lifetime. My successes and missteps impact your future. I know this because I live with a man who says his mom told him he could do anything—even sing [shudder].
When I wrote about depression three months ago, I was still, for the most part, in the throes of it. Happily, with time and distance comes more perspective—some good, some not-so-good.
People who regularly read this column often say they feel like they know me and my children, Ford, Owen and Lindell. They even feel like they know our dog, Sparky, But I've never had anyone say they feel like they know my husband, Dustin.
The story of Dot and Milt is a story about things that last, tangible reminders of love that remain even after someone is gone.

Nico Rosberg set the pace in Friday's wet practices at Interlagos, finishing ahead of the Red Bulls and Heikki Kovalainen...
Nico Rosberg: "Today I had a good start into the weekend, and I was very quick in the rain even though we don't really know about the fuel levels of the other teams. Therefore we need to read the time sheets with some caution. But generally I have higher hopes now that perhaps we can give Red Bull a hard time this weekend. We all know that the weather plays always a big role here at Interlagos and can catch you out. We were not able to run that much but the track feels really great and it was great fun to be out there and find the limit in these difficult conditions."
Lewis Hamilton: "The conditions were tricky out there today and it's a real shame for the fans that they didn't get to see more action on track. Of course, it's frustrating for us drivers to be sitting in the garage for so long but I really feel for everyone who has made the effort to come here to the track. We were able to get some running during the two sessions and that will be useful as the conditions for the rest of the weekend look pretty much the same. I'm struggling a little to get the feel of the car in the wet, and that's really been the same for me with our car all season, so we have some work to do overnight to see where we can make improvements. I'd really prefer a dry weekend but that's out of our hands."
Red Bull:
Sebastian Vettel: "We knew it would be wet today and might be tricky. The main loss from the rain was that we didn't run on the 2014 tyres. Not many people went out this afternoon in order to save tyres for the weekend - it's a bit of a shame for those in the grandstands, but unfortunately it's like this. Come Saturday and Sunday, we may need to have the tyres available. It was good to get a bit of a base line in these conditions; we need to be sharp for the next two days and make the right calls."
Mark Webber: "We were working on understanding the tyres in both conditions today, we had the full wet and intermediate tyres on the car and we did quite a few laps considering most people only used one set of intermediate tyres. It was a productive day in preparation for tomorrow, as we expect some more wet conditions. We have to understand the inters on both long and short runs and also try to save tyres, so it was a testing day for the teams, but overall we got what we could out of the day."
Lotus F1:
Heikki Kovalainen: "Obviously, it was challenging conditions but it was good for me to get the experience in the wet weather. There were no big surprises and the car was behaving quite well. It was a little bit trickier than driving in the dry, but we expected this. That said, I think the team have made good progress in this area as it wasn't too difficult to drive. There are still a couple of areas where we can improve on, and whether we have valid information for tomorrow's weather we don't know yet."
Romain Grosjean: "It wasn't perfect weather and we still have some progress to make on the wet set-up for conditions like we had today. In the morning it was a struggle for grip with too much understeer, but we made progress in this area for the afternoon and have a few ideas about how we can improve further for tomorrow. It's certainly a challenge with the spray and standing water, but despite this it's still awesome to be driving around Interlagos."
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "Usually, I am comfortable in the rain, but this morning the car didn't feel right and so in a way I was pleased to learn the team found that something was not quite right and it was fixed in time for this afternoon, when it all felt much better. Given my lap time on quite worn Intermediates, I think we are looking in reasonable shape. I waited a while before going out, because with the limited number of extreme wet tyres, you have to think of saving them for the rest of the weekend. So it was a usual Friday in most respects, except that we didn't do so many laps, which is a shame on what is a lovely track to drive. We still need some work to do to improve the car further, but we have a good baseline to start from."
Daniel Ricciardo: "I don't think only having the one session today affected me very much, even if we ran less than the 90 minutes because of the weather. I got a couple of runs, one on the extreme, the other on the inter. It was still productive even with the limited time. As always, we have some work to do, but I don't think we look too bad in these conditions. We need to improve grip in the rear to stabilise the car in for the wet. If we get on top of that tonight, we can have a good car for the rain and I am confident that if it stays like this, we can get two cars into Q3 tomorrow."
