It was over before it started.
By Sam Holako
I listened to the Cleveland commentators the whole game (I do this often now since I find the it to be comedic gold). Some things that were said:
- WeNorth (commenting on the WeTheNorth campaign, apparently the can't read the giant letters on the giant banners in their own stadium properly)- One announcer forgot DeRozan's name, called him what's his name as he went to the free throw line- Commentators were saying the Cavs should start hard fouling Lou, "put him on his britches". More than once.- Were in disbelief when Amir hit a three
Was pretty funny

Suggestions For Free Ad Space?

When and if it actually comes around, the OpenD6 site would be a good candidate.

- Age of Fable said...
Could I humbly suggest my own site - www.ageoffable.net ?
It has a 'gamebook' style game (also called Age of Fable), and a collection of free RPG resources like a random dungeon generator, a collection of random tables, and so on.
It's all free and non-profit, and the game has gotten good responses from all 'schools' of gamers - it's one of the few things to be praised on the Forge and Dragonsfoot.

I would love to see my game, Adventures in Oz, get a little more publicity. It's over at http://ozrpg.50webs.com or your can check out my blog (updated every Thursday) at http://fdouglaswall.blogspot.com

As much as I'd love to see the games I'm working on get publicity (zzarchov.bravehost.com, both free!), beyond that disgraceful plug I too would suggest the free RPG blog or its Thousand Monkeys Thousand Typewriters site, it provides a valuable service for free. In the same category, Pen and Paper Games has a nice free game finder system to help gamers find groups, that would also do well.
Just some thoughts to throw out there.

- Rob Lang said...
Thanks to everyone for the kind suggestion of my blog. I'd add Age Of Fable and the RPG Haven to the list. Also, any competitions that you like the look of that might be running.
- June 21, 2009 at 4:21 PM
- Rob Lang said...
Oh, another one I'd like to see get more traffic and one I visit lots and lots is John Kim's list of free rpgs. It remains the best directory of free stuff on the web.
- June 21, 2009 at 4:23 PM
- Swordgleam said...
He's not exactly hurting for traffic, but www.seventhsanctum.com is a great generator site that I haven't heard mentioned too much in the RPG community. It's mostly aimed at writers, but I've found the gens helpful for my games. It might be helpful to your readers to get the word out.
I also have a ton of RPG-related gens at my own site (link in name), if that's the sort of thing you feel like advertising.

At a glance: Mathematics/Statistics
"At ONU, mathematics and statistics majors are introduced to a culture of scholarship and professionalism. Student/faculty research begins as early as possible. Most of the research results in publication and/or presentation at national and regional meetings. We proudly produce graduates prepared for successful careers in education, business, law, medicine, and industry."
Dr. Donald A. Hunt
Our overall mission is to nurture and mentor students in their understanding of the mathematical sciences. Mathematics is the language of science, and truly the language of all natural phenomena. It has been studied and developed for thousands of years by people of diverse cultures and ethnicities. Mathematical skills and understanding have wide applicability in the sciences and many professions. Visit our department's web site.
Degree options
Majors are offered in applied mathematics, mathematics and mathematical statistics. Minors are offered in applied mathematics, mathematics, and applied statistics. Majors may earn a bachelor of science degree or a bachelor of arts degree.
Applied mathematics majors and mathematical statistics majors complement their math/stats coursework with courses in application areas outside their major. Mathematics majors can pursue a path leading to graduate school and/or a career in research by choosing the Advanced Mathematical Studies concentration. Those mathematics majors interested in teaching (grades 7-12) may choose the Teacher Licensure concentration and complete the additional course work in the Department of Education required to become a licensed teacher. The licensure areas include Integrated Mathematics. Students interested in teaching in the science areas are eligible to apply for the Choose Ohio First Scholarship which can be up to an additional $6,500 a year for those that meet the appropriate requirements.
Distinctive features
- Faculty members have diverse doctoral level expertise in real and complex analysis, algebra, applied mathematics, topology, statistics, probability theory, number theory and mathematics education.
- The department maintains institutional membership in the American Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and Association for Women in Mathematics.
- Students can find employment as tutors in the Mathematics Resource Center as graders or course assistants.
- Students have the opportunity to present papers at regional and national meetings, as well as the opportunity to co-author papers with faculty in the department.
- Two early graduates of the University from the late 1800s achieved great distinction with their contributions to the discipline. Benjamin Franklin Finkel founded American Mathematical Monthly, the flagship publication of the MAA, and Cassius Keyser was an early pioneer in group theory who became a professor and chair of mathematics at Columbia University in New York City.
The department of mathematics and statistics is housed on the second floor of the Mathile Center for the Natural Sciences. Department facilities include a PC lab, a mathematics education classroom/Mac lab, a faculty/student workroom, two student research rooms and six wireless classrooms.
Student organizations
- Student Chapter of the MAA, Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) – mathematics honorary
- ONU-Solve (mathematics problem-solving group)
Graduate schools
Miami University, North Carolina State University, Northwestern University, The Ohio State University, University of Akron, University of Florida, University of Dayton, University of Michigan
Career opportunities
Mathematics graduates of the department have found career opportunities in teaching at both the high school and college level, as well as careers in business, actuarial science, medicine, optometry and law.

I'd like to ask the collective wisdom's advice on interesting ways to bring down a Speedster PC.
Here's the situation - My group's resident speedster, Mach Ten, came with an excellent background, including a nemesis NPC called Nightshade. In last week's thrilling episode, Mach Ten had tailed the villains' getaway car to their secret HQ somewhere in the warehouse district. Rather than communicate this to the rest of the group, he decided to go on and do a preliminary recon before reporting back. Since the session was drawing to a close and I wanted to end on a cliffhanger, I had him run straight into a cloud of tear gas that brought him to a halt, more or less face to face with, you've guessed it, Nightshade. Cue "We meet again" speech, and fade to black. "To be continued..."
Sooo.. I've spoken with the player, and told him I'm going to cheat like heck to make sure he's captured, hog tied and hung upside down from the rafters so I can do some villain gloating/plot exposition, and he's perfectly happy with that. But rather than simply handwave it, I'd like to give him at least the illusion of a sporting chance of an escape.
We have Nightshade, whose powers are currently undefined (but we've agreed is your generic "sexy villainess" in style) and a potentially unlimited supply of goons with stun guns. Mach Ten has all the stuff that goes with a speedster - high Defence, high REF save & unfeasibly high initiative. The setting is a goods yard round the back of a warehouse.
One route I don't want to go down is that of making Nightshade a mentalist, as the last adventure already featured a female mind-bender, and I don't want to repeat that shtick too often.
Any suggestions for good anti-speedster tactics would be greatly appreciated.

|Wish List
Nice but... This is a great addition to my work accessories but recently it has become quite obvious that the metal is not of good quality. It went from looking gold to looking fake after only a few wears. I really like the style and fit but I am turned off from wearing it due to the faded color. June 23, 2014
I love wearing this under a button up shirt at work. It adds a nice touch without going overboard. April 6, 2014
Great basic piece I saw this in the store and loved it! Such a great, classic piece and one that can easily have a pendant or enhancer added for another look. February 21, 2014
loved this, BUT.... I loved this necklace when I got it and wore it all the time....but within a few months the metal started to tarnish and it left my neck green. I would expect higher quality metal from a fashion necklace that costs this much! I was sad to throw it away, but I couldn't wear it anymore when my neck was green halfway through the work day. I've actually had this happen with almost EVERY jewelry piece I've purchased from The Limited, and I've purchased a lot in the past. Unfortunately, I don't purchase jewelry from The Limited anymore, even though it looks beautiful at first and I want to. February 1, 2014
Gold tarnished I thought this was a great necklace for work and it was, but only for a short time since it started to tarnish only a few months after I got it. My friend has the gold bracelet that matches this necklace and she said the same thing. I've realized it's hit or miss with any gold jewelry at the Limited. I'm surprised they haven't fixed that. January 19, 2014
Color fades I absolutely love this gold necklace and the magnetic bracelet that matches it. It's the perfect length, it's classy and casual. Yet dressy if need be. I can't say how much I love it BUT the gold color is fading off it. In fact I has to exchange mine because I figured it was defective, my replacement clot is wearing off too, and so is my sisters necklace and bracelet....but I still love it, just very cheaply made! December 26, 2013
Really wanted to love this This necklace wasn't quite what I was hoping for. It's nothing spectacular, but I was looking for something plain that I could wear to work, etc. I find that the length of the necklace is a little too short for me, and maybe I would've done better buying a longer version if that exists (not sure). Every time I put it on it makes it look like I'm trying too hard, and I end up taking it off and opting for another necklace. Personally I wish I had spent the money on a different style necklace that was more unique. September 3, 2013
Pretty but wish it was more versatile I love this style necklace and the color is beautiful (I bought in gold), but the length is so hard to work with. I knew going in, obviously, that it would be short but when I received I was disappointed to see it is so short that it is limited in its use. It is a very pretty necklace but I don't have many items it would pair well with so I may decide to return. It's a shame. February 14, 2013

Formerly the Thinking Catholic Strategic Center
Vic Biorseth, OWM, Presiding
Sunday, July 31, 2011 – Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Is 55:1-3
Ps 145:8-9, 15-16, 17-18
Rom 8:35, 37-39
Mt 14:13-21
Q: What is able to separate us from the love of Christ?
Short answer: nothing.
But it's not like Paul to leave it at that. He elaborates with a list of things that can cause people to think – God is absent, no longer loves me, or is powerless to help me. What can make us feel that way? Anguish, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, the sword. A powerful elaboration, but when they are strung together in a list like that, each one tends to lose its impact. So take just one of them and think about it. Take anguish. Dictionary definition: great suffering, as from worry, grief, or pain; agony.
Anguish is no small thing. Worry, grief, pain – they all have a way of taking over and coloring our perception of everything else. People trying to help say things like, "oh, but you're worried about nothing," or "It must be awful for you, but you'll get over it." They want to help, but being in anguish is like being in your own private hell, and you know those well-meaning people aren't in it with you. The pain is all your own, sitting implacably on your heart.
Paul had his periods of anguish. He referred to his constant worry for all the churches he had founded. He described feeling anguished over his own Jewish people and their failure to recognize the messiah. But when he came out of the anguish he realized that God had been with him through it all, not preventing his anguish but sustaining him through it, and was still there when the anguish dissipated.
As with anguish, so with any other worldly threat: distress, persecution, famine, the sword. Nothing in this world is more powerful than God's love. And nothing out of this world either. Angels, not even malevolent ones. Not present and future things, which may be a reference to astrology, very popular in those days. Height and depth may refer to the signs of the zodiac and the elevations of the planets above the horizon. Nothing in the whole demonic realm, what he means by "principalities and powers."
Speaking of which, sometimes a young person who has dabbled in the occult – astrology or witchcraft of Satanism – approaches me and asks if their situation is hopeless, whether God has abandoned them to an evil power. I tell them no. Far from hopeless. You've been foolish but God is wise. There may be occult powers, but God is infinitely more powerful. Maybe you abandoned God, but God did not abandon you. God, our Almighty Creator, loves us unconditionally and permanently. There's nothing we can do to make Him hate us. The proof? Jesus Christ. Just before today's passage, Romans has this familiar passage:
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but handed Him over for us all, how will He not give us everything else along with Him? Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ Jesus Who died, was raised, and Who intercedes for us. – Rom. 8:31-34
In view of that, no situation is hopeless, no matter how desperate. What can separate us from the love of Christ? Short answer – nothing.
So really, we have nothing to fear. Except for one thing. Notice that Paul mentions all manner of external threats. Well, anguish may seem internal, but it hits us as if from outside, against our will. The one thing that can separate us from God is internal, our own choice.
None of us has the power to make God hate us, but we each do have the power to reject God, and His love that pursues us and calls us. Each of us, by the power of our own free will, is able to rationalize what is immoral, identify ourselves with what is wrong, cling to what is evil, cling so determinedly that when God's justice destroys what is evil we choose to go with it into the abyss.
That possibility should scare us! If it does, that's a blessing; a healthy fear of our own waywardness that keeps us humble, repentant, and responsive to God's unconditional, permanent love.

Please note the language and tone of this monitored Website. This is not the place to stack up vulgar one-liners and crude rejoinders. While you may support, oppose or introduce any position or argument, submissions must meet our standards of logical rigor and civil discourse.

If you have something serious to contribute to the conversation, back it up, keep it clean and keep it civil.

Catholic American Thinker Back Issues
General Commentary Pages
Various unrelated topics that stirred thought and provoked writing (or quoting) at one time or another. The Everything Else Bucket.
Explaining the word "American" in Catholic American Thinker. Retaining our distinct American identity in an increasingly Marxist - Scientistic - Collectivist larger world.
Explaining the word "Catholic" in Catholic American Thinker. How do does the Catholic American Thinker retain distinctly Catholic identity and free thinking within mostly Protestant American culture?
Argument: The Good, The Bad and The Pointless. On the Reasoned Argument. (In the absence of reason, there is no valid argument.)
Political Parties: Redirecting allegiance away from the nation. Political Parties demand first obedience to the Party, not to the Constitution, slowly poisoning the nation.
Agent Provocateurs: Manipulated manipulators inflaming Ferguson MO. The agent provocateurs are defrauded fools defrauding and fooling a dumbed-down populace.
Treacherous Cronyism is bringing Western Civilization down, from the inside. America, Christianity, Judaism, ALL, are being laid low from within, via Treacherous Cronyism.
On Theory Dominating Substance, in science, religion, morality, and culture. Everywhere we look, we see the theoretical trumping the substantial, up and down the line.
Can we find actual Evil inside the Catholic Church? Well, why not? The war between Satan's kingdom (the World) and the Kingdom of God, and Evil inside the Catholic Church.
A Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ deepens faith and faith commitment. A Personal Relationship with America deepens love of country and patriotic commitment.
The "Top Down" Catholic Revolution by Bishops Against Established Doctrine. The "Bottom Up" Catholic Revolution by Laymen For Established Doctrine.
On PC Stupidassery: Political Correctness Insanity. PC Stupidassery; a Political Platform, supported by indoctrination, propaganda and a fooled population.
The 2014 Mid-Term Elections Cometh: Here we go again. Next Tuesday, the 2014 Mid-Term Elections are upon us. What are we going to do about it?
Anathematizing anathema: the predictable result of the denial of evil. In a world that denies the existence of evil, anathematizing anathema itself is the only anathema allowed.
The Ebola Setup: Another possible trigger for the final revolution? The purposeful government infection of America, through the Ebola setup. Why?
Work at home jobs that have had me. A long, costly and unsuccessful run at work from home jobs that didn't work for us.
Truth versus Agenda addresses the simplest of problems greatly complexified. Truth versus Agenda examines the contest between reality and its opposition.
Vic has Iron Weights for sale; Mama says they have to go. Lots of iron weights for sale; all have to go at once, in one sale.
The challenge describes Capitalism as illusory and Marxism as solid. The mixture of religion just adds to the confusion of all good realists.
Indifferentism and Moral Relativism eats away at Catholic Culture. Catholicism stands against Indifferentism. Where do you stand?
My poor old truck is again starting to look like a poor old truck. After half-a-million miles, we're now approaching another decision time; another paint job, or a new truck.
Battle Line: Where the advancing secular army meets Judeo-Christian moral norms. The Secular Position (or Agenda) involves Proactive, Aggressive Anti-Theism, and not merely "neutral" Atheism.
A return to the American Ideal means a severe reduction in Government. To return to positive growth and progress means, necessarily, purging our nation from all Marxist-Socialist philosophical influence and a return to the American Ideal.
Why this hatred of Palin? What galls modern women of the Left about Sarah Palin? The blind hatred of Palin we're seeing expressed is not merely because of hatred and intolerance of the pro-life religious moral standard.
A Palin Parker Ticket? My Dream Candidates for 2012. Why a Palin Parker ticket is better than any professional politician Republican ticket you can come up with for 2012.
Elitism Vs Palinism: Why the Left and the Elites Loath and Fear Sarah Palin. It isn't just Marxism Vs Palinism; it's also established intellectual elitism vs Palinism. The elite need someone to look down upon.
How is it that opposing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is "arrogant"? If my pro-Catholic, pro-American, anti-alternative-ethos position is "arrogant," then, exactly what is the position of those who claim superiority or even equality with it?
Here we see Bush family class captured in a simple private citizen's photo. George W. (and Mrs.) Bush quietly demonstrate Bush family class without hoopla or fanfare.
Marxists love crisis, and they love an oil spill crisis most of all. Marxists even create and drive crisis. Their favorite crisis of all must be the Oil Spill Crisis, which is even better than a Banking Crisis.
American Military Assault Weapons originally intended in the 2nd Amendment. To miss the point of the 2nd Amendment is to miss the point of the whole Constitution.
