Review: Rolemaster Rome
Enter Graham Bottley's Rolemaster Rome, a new product by Arion Games that seeks to provide all that's dynamic and involving about Classical Rome for Rolemaster Classic. For those of you out there that are Rolemaster SS or FRP fans, worry not--a conversion document has been released as part of the pdf download. Ringing in at 200 pages, this is the first Rolemaster-dedicated product from Arion, whose previously best known product was perhaps the re-issue of the classic RPG Maelstrom. No matter, because there's a lot to like in Rolemaster Rome, though also a couple of places for improvement.
Rolemaster Rome begins with racial selections (Roman, Gaul, and Greek), and briefly mentions traning packages suitable for a Roman Campaign. The table of special abilities seems to fit quite well into a Roman-themed campaign, with entries like "Rome-Born", "Man of the People", and "Natural Roman" conveying some of the edges in Roman public life amongst the privileged.
There are some minor rule adjustments included to tweak Rolemaster Classic for a Roman campaign--mostly telling you which options from Character Law to "turn on". Of particular interest here is the addition of Dignitas, an attribute reflecting social standing, public achievement, and honor. This is largely a social attribute, to be rolled in sort of a "don't you know who I am?" situation. I found one of the best tweaks Rolemaster Rome presented.
Curiously enough, Rolemaster Rome glosses through some of the geographical descriptions of the Roman Empire itself. Chapter 3, which is supposed to address this, covers under 10 pages. I thought this was a strange design decision. A short Chapter 4 on Magic follows this, which discusses the minor modifications and restrictions of spells for the setting.
If Chapter 3 was a disappointment as far as presenting Roman geography, Chapter 5, which deals with Roman Life, is not. 30 pages here cover every facet of life in Rome, from the role of family to the life of slaves to wages, travel, sexuality, and so much more. This is where Bottley's writing really seems to come to life, and is a highlight of the work.
Chapter 6 is a brief overview of Rome. This session again suffers from the same brevity of Chapter 3, but will provide a basic overview of the historic capital of the Roman Empire.
Chapters 7 & 8 cover weapons/armor and price lists, respectively. The weapons and armor chapter is a fun one, with plenty of illustrations, and it's clear a lot of consideration went into its crafting.
Chapter 9 covers the Roman Legions, and does a good job of providing guidance on some of the different organizational methods that were used. Chapters 10 & 11 cover deities and mythology, and likewise do a nice job of subject presentation.
Chapter 12 discusses customizing your Roman Rolemaster campaign to various eras and playstyles, and that ends the Chapters portions of the book. But what would a Rolemaster product be without plenty of appendices? Guess what follows Chapter 12?
The appendices cover everything from races, professions, training packages (expanded here from earlier in the book), treasure tables, encounter tables, standards stats, and a bibliography. Add in a few sheets for Roman settlements and characters, plus a pretty nice index, and you have Rolemaster Rome. In their own way, the appendices tie this product together and make it so much more useful. If this information were spread across the book, it would be maddening. Nice work on organization by Mr. Bottley on that account.
This is not a product that shows complete 100% veracity on historical material, but neither is it too burdened with errors or anachronisms. At it's best, Rolemaster Rome evokes favorable comparisons to products such as the old ICE Campaign Classics line.
I would have liked to have seen a few more illustrations, but the art is relevant and generally informative and well-placed. The layout is a bit Spartan in places, but aside from a few curiously short chapters, is clean and well-considered.
For overall value, Rolemaster Rome definitely packs a lot in 200 pages, though perhaps a bit unevenly on various topics. However, at $15 for the pdf, some gamers might find that slightly high. It all depends on how you value pdfs--and that's an entirely different discussion right there. I would give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 on substance, and a 3.5 out of 5 on style. Rolemaster Rome shows promise, and delivers on much of it. I believe if Arion Games produces further Rolemaster supplements, we'll see some of the bumps ironed out. Either way, it's great to have a new quality Rolemaster supplement out there. Rolemaster Rome is going to scratch an itch for Rolemaster fans looking for new source material.

Somewhat inappropriate to the theme of your post, the Roman Empire holds my fascination today for a very different reason. As is the way with all empires, they crumble and fall. The USA draws much of its original political inspiration from Rome (and the Athenians before them.) Just as Rome fell, so too does the American Empire now stand on the brink of collapse. Therein lies my fascination with Rome.

Nice review. I have this PDF, and for the most part quite like it, although I would rank it behind the recent supplement on Rome for BRP.
- February 15, 2010 at 2:04 PM
Thank you for a thorough and balanced review. I am currently working on the Egypt companion, to give those Romans somewhere to travel to, and there will be others on the way.
I will try and iron out some of the issues you found!

@Eric: Historians wet themselves either denying or stating the USA's parallels to Rome. It's a favorite topic of discussion among many, probably because it's very easy to see ourselves in the same spiral of decline. I find it fascinating how Roman life could be so close to our own in some ways, yet in some ways so alien from us.
@Akrasia: I haven't seen the BRP Rome book. A lot of their monographs are excellent, though.
@Graham: My thanks! I'll look forward to your treatment of Rolemaster Egypt!

I really like Rolemaster Rome. I have been using a "romaesque" setting in my Merp for some time, this book fits in perfectly. I confess i have not read every page but was a little disapointed in the treatment of the Senate, which figures heavily in my game. Otherwise the cultural and historical notes are fab. I would like to work out a conversion for Denari, gold silver etc. I was just emailed the RMFRP conversion and was very happy to get it. I did find the pages spartan in places, more decorations on the page number, some additional art would be nice as well. I agree 3.5 out of 5. Well done for a first effort by Arion Games.

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural condition, the cotton balls will tend to increase the dispersion of the seeds. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, and India. The greatest diversity of wild cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa. Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds. The English name derives from the Arabic qutn قُطْن, which began to be used circa 1400 CE. The Spanish word, "algodón", is likewise derived from the Arabic. The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile. The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times; fragments of cotton fabric dated from 5000 BCE have been excavated in Mexico and the Indus Valley Civilization. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that so lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.

With Delays Expected for H1N1 Vaccines, Could Contract Packagers Still Help?August 21, 2009 – 10:45 am
Packaging logjams are being blamed for an expected delay in H1N1 shipments this flu season. Reports are that manufacturing capacity cannot keep up with vaccine production. But it is too late for vaccine manufacturers to order and install new filling lines to share the load.
"New lines aren't realistic for this season," says Tony Miller, marketing and communications supervisor for Bosch Packaging Technology (Minneapolis). "You can't just flip a switch."
Current filling lines can be optimized to hasten production, but only by about a small margin. And the process can't be changed too much. Any time you change a packaging process, "you have to go through validation again," and that takes time and money, Miller says.
Instead, vaccine manufacturers experiencing the logjams should look for contract packaging service providers with available capacity. Miller says that a number of contract packagers themselves geared up in advance to support increased filling volumes. "We have provided new change parts–star wheels, guides, and others–that enable these line operators to switch machines from one program to another to support different packaging volumes. These aren't off-the-shelf parts. They are complex, because each machine to some degree is a custom machine." The shortest turnaround time for ordering such parts is about four to five weeks, he adds.
With the additional parts, some contractors were able to take lines running at partial capacity and extend them to nearly 100%.
Manufacturers may also want to look in their own warehouses to see if they already have the needed equipment. "Sometimes machines are delivered, but never used–often left in the crate," Miller says. Equipment is typically ordered during Phase III clinical trials, he says, but if the product fails, companies are left with an unutilized machine.
Manufacturers would still need to test and validate new filling machines, but they wouldn't have to wait for a new machine to be built, which could take six months or more.
Miller doesn't seem surprised about the strained packaging lines. "The industry has been running very lean these days," he says.

Shirt/Tie combo I can't stand but the suit...well, I don't think even Max Headroom had such a crisp smooth suit. Not sure I like the pattern but it looks impeccably pressed and maintained, got to give him that. You could probably cut yourself on those lapels.
However...I just can't help but keep thinking he's trying to eat his moustache.
I mean, he obviously uses 'product' in his hair (check out the parting), but he really needs to use some in his 'tache too if he's going to grow it to that length. Needs to either be trained sideways or trimmed shorter. Shouldn't obscure upper lip either way.
Here endeth the lecture.

Foothills are geographically defined as gradual increases in elevation at the base of a mountain range. In terms of elevation, it is opposite to a peak (summit). They are a transition zone between plains and low relief hills to the adjacent topographically high mountains. They constitute one of the four kinds of hills, the others being sand dunes, maturely dissected plains and low plateaus.
Foothills border mountains, especially those which are reached through low ridges that increase in size closer and closer to the mountain.[1]
Areas where foothills exist, or areas commonly referred to as the foothills, include:
- The Sierra Nevada foothills of California
- The Foothills of the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County, California
- The Colorado Front Range along the Rocky Mountains in Colorado
- The Wasatch Front along the Wasatch Mountains in Utah
- The Rocky Mountain Foothills in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada
- The Alpine foothills around the European Alps
- The Silesian Foothills in Silesia
- The Siwalik Hills along the Himalayas in the Indian subcontinent
- The Catalina Foothills in Tucson, Arizona
- The foothills in Western North Carolina and Northwestern South Carolina
- The Margalla hills near the Himalayas in Pakistan
- The Duars, Chos and Terai on the foothills of Himalayas (India)
- The foothills around Boise in Idaho
- The Jackson Michigan
Another word for a foothill region is "piedmont". The Italian Piedmont region lies in the foothills of the Alps, and several other foothills in other parts of the world go by similar names.

Summertime, Summertime!
Welcome Back to Campus Fall 2013!
I drove around Southeastern Louisiana University today – first day of classes! The excitement in the air was evident! New shoes, book bags, sorority letters, new friends, new places to live and the list goes on! It is one of my favorite times of the year! I also love that as I check Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all the first day of school pictures remind me of what a special time this is in the lives of parents and students who send their children away from them whether for the semester or for a day! As we embark on this fall, let us remember to be kind to one another, to help in any way and to just make someone's day better. It is almost like a new beginning with so many possibilities ahead! So study hard, make new friends, join a sports team, club or organization and have a great 2013-2014 school year! Who knows, maybe our paths will cross along the way!
Peace and Love,

Spring Brings Out The Crazy In Many of Us!
Well, for some of us, especially in the Southeast and West Coast, the weather is beautiful! With beautiful weather comes day dreaming, spring break, picnics, runs along the river – you get the picture! Here is what I know – the world still wants us to be responsible, stay on task, and make things happen! My life has been crazy with some curves in the road, but I feel blessed to have great people to keep me focused and motivated! Here is to a productive and prosperous 2013!
Peace and Love,

As I Reflect on 2012 and Beyond…
Hello friends! I have wanted to post for some time but life kind of got very busy. This semester I have spoken on more than 20 campuses, have worked with more than 10 individual chapters of several organizations, have watched my family and friends celebrate life and struggle through some challenges, visited several countries, and seen beautiful parts of the United States. As I reflect on the past year and look forward to the future, I think of how I have been blessed. At the end of our lives, the most important part of what we were put on this earth for was to love and be loved. I know this is simple and not profound, but it is what I believe helps me do whatever it is I do. My wish for you this holiday season, is that you love and feel loved. It may be from someone special, a stranger, your pet(s) (certainly Brady and Buddy show me unconditional love each and everyday). No matter who the love is shared with, make it meaningful and make it count.
Happy Holidays and looking forward to the time when our paths cross on this journey we call LIFE!
Peace and Love,
Mari Ann
New Beginnings – Fall 2012
Dear friends,
Welcome Back! That seems to be the key sign on every campus I have visited so far this year. Students are coming to campus for the first time excited about what's to come. Some will move on campus, others will join a student organization, and some will join fraternities and sororities. The fall is my favorite time on college campuses. As the summer comes to a close, the breeze begins to blow, and it feels like football season on many campuses. It is an exciting time for so many.
It is also a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. As we work with students whether as professionals, teachers, parents, staff, speakers, remember, they don't have all the answers – they are not supposed to. Be patient with them, have conversations, ask them how they feel about something, and challenge them only if you are willing to support.
I hope I see you on the journey, and until then, have a great fall semester!
Peace and Love,
Mari Ann
Rituals In All That We Do
Happy Fest Y'all!
If you know anything about Louisiana, you might know that as soon as Mardi Gras is over, Festival Season begins. Every weekend you can find a plethora of Festivals to attend that center around themes such as strawberries, French Quarter, seafood, and whatever other theme comes along. It is what we call "culture or ritual."
While walking around Jazz Fest, this sign was above the tent that housed the Mardi Gras Indians costume making, as well as Mardi Gras Dress makers, and Muse Parade shoes decorating. All of these are traditions in Louisiana.
Rituals come in many forms. No matter what the ritual or tradition might be, these acts continue to bind us to one another.
As we are ending the spring semester, there will be special ceremonies, rituals, happening in many of our institutions of learning. May the transitions from one phase to another happen wether it be initiations for fraternities and sororities, graduations, awards banquets, etc., may we celebrate the events that change our lives; may we thank the people who have helped to get us through these phases in our development, and may we all remember, that rituals do matter!

Where My Journey As A Theta Phi Alpha Began…
Do you ever think, what were they thinking? This is a question I often ask about our founders. Did they even have a clue as to what they were establishing for thousands of women who would follow after them? My logical answer is no way! They were courageous women who wanted a place to call home. Maybe they weren't that different than the Theta Phi Alphas of today. Unlike us, they didn't have certain rights and privileges. They could not vote in the Presidential Elections, they were not allowed to walk freely into U of M Student Union, and they certainly were not a part of the largest women's organizations on campus. They were just women who were trying to get an education and find a group of women to support them.
As I drove onto the campus of the University of Michigan, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Although I had been to the campus previously, the sight of the blue flag with the yellow M still makes my heart race just a bit.
I am a professional campus speaker; I have spoken on more than 500 campuses. As much as these experiences have been amazing, speaking at the birthplace of Theta Phi Alpha made me quite nostalgic. As I stood on the stage in the Historic Rackham Auditorium, I looked out at approximately 1,100 sorority women. Sitting in the front row were four Theta Phi Alpha alumnae cheering me on – a true example of sisterhood. It was a moment I will not soon forget. I shared with the undergraduate women of the sororities at Michigan that Theta Phi Alpha and ultimately, my journey began at the University of Michigan and what an important part their campus has in our Fraternity's history.
The night was one of laughter, tears, thoughtfulness, and yes, a little singing! Thank you to the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation and Theta Phi Alpha Fraternity for trusting me with delivering our gift to the Panhellenic at the University of Michigan.
At the end of the program, Mary Beth Seller, Director of Greek Life, presented me with a bag of gifts – a recruitment bag, a Michigan blanket, and a Stole of Gratitude. It was quite a special moment and I appreciated accepting the Stole of Gratitude on behalf of The Fraternity.
As I looked out at those women, I thought about the day that our Alpha Chapter could be back at the home of our founding. One day, but for now, one Theta Phi Alpha had a memorable experience at the place that we call Home!
Article from ERAU!
Recruitment = Ritual! What?
Make A Promise to Live Your Rituals Everyday
The current world of fraternity and sorority life is seeking many of the same answers those of us were seeking twenty plus years ago. We continue to search for "the answers" when it comes to our members really "getting it". As I have traveled the country speaking on college campuses, I have given away stickers to help participants remember my message or possibly contact me at a later date. The stickers have said "Ritual…. Just Live It", "What Would Our Founders Think of Us Today?", and most recently "Ritual=Values=You". Each one of these messages are intended to challenge all of us to remember why we are members of fraternities and sororities to begin with—to become the best people we can with the support of people we call our brothers and sisters.
As advisors, leaders, and friends, it is our responsibility to get our members past the performance of the ritual ceremony, although that is important, to the action part of our rituals. What do I mean? Our ceremonies are just that unless we move those words and symbols and have them become action-oriented aspects of our members' lives. Our members are NOT getting it for the most part. They do not make a connection between the values and promises in those ceremonies to their everyday behavior. For example: "Today, I think I will just put whatever comes to mind on my Facebook, Twitter, etc. and I don't really care what anyone thinks about it. I am going to use inappropriate language, I am going to attach a picture of myself or others" doing something offensive just because it is funny, and I am going to 'Tweet' about it too." Instead of saying to oneself, how will this represent me, my organization, my family, this person strictly ignores any consequences because they feel it is okay. Another example is that I am going to ignore hazing is happening in my chapter and as long I am not present when it happens, I am not responsible. Our rituals give us a road map as to how to be the best people we can be. They say in words how we should respect others and ourselves, they say how we should hold one another accountable, and how we should stand up for what is right.
When discussing values, I am intrigued by the various definitions and explanations that emerge. In my opinion, values are a comprehensive set of behaviors that guide how we live our lives. In fraternity and sorority life, values are what we describe as brotherhood and sisterhood—they are the way we love one another, hold one another accountable, and support one another to be the best people we can be. Our values as organizations lived out by our members really do matter. Today we are being judged by how we walk the talk of what we say we are about. People join fraternities and sororities for so many reasons. What it comes down to is that we join hopefully, to share our college and beyond experiences with people who share common values. We search for people who have similar beliefs as we do and live those beliefs through our actions whether it be working on community service projects, striving to do well academically, working for a common good, taking care of one another, making a difference, standing up for what you believe in, whatever the case may be.
Each one of us makes a promise to live the best life we can and to be the best members of our organization that we can be. Our fraternity and sorority experience has the ability to change our lives. As someone who has been initiated for almost 25 years, I know that joining a sorority was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My professional and personal journey has been enhanced because of all of the amazing experiences and people I have encounter along the way. It is each one of our responsibilities to step up and say, am I doing what I said I would do? Am I challenging myself and those around me to be the best people we can be? Am I passionate about the experiences and opportunities I have through my fraternity and sorority experiences? Do I try my best to live the values expressed through my ritual, creeds, mottos, and symbols to the best of my ability? These are questions I am faced with on a daily basis and I challenge each one of us to examine our fraternal experiences and to be our best!

Hello Spring!
It has been a while since I have blogged. I wish that life did not just take off sometimes and that I had the time to write, think, share, learn, explore…
As I work with various constituents in all of my experiences, I continue to be amazed at the vast amount of passion and determination that so many have for what they do. Each and every day I appreciate more and more that God has truly blessed my life with great people and so many great encounters.
Remember, be intentional about all you do and put positive energy out into the world. I promise you, it will come back to you!
Happy Spring! Stop and Smell the flowers and enjoy some much needed Sunshine!
Love and Peace,
Mari Ann

True Spanish Bread
Recipe By Chef Jim Coleman
Here's the situation: given time, yeast mixed with water and flour will turn into something delicious.
- 1½ tablespoons bread yeast
- 3 cups warm water
- 7 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1. Mix the yeast in the warm water and let sit in a warm place for 10 minutes. Mix the salt with the flour and run through a fine mesh allowing it to fall into a large bowl. Using your fingers, mix in the oil. Slowly pour in the raised yeast while working the dough with your hands so as to produce a firm dough. Place the dough on a flat surface with some flour sprinkled on it. Knead the dough until it becomes firm and elastic.
- 2. Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a moist sheet and set in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume. Once again, remove the dough and knead it again over a floured tabletop, to remove air pockets until the dough feels smooth. Return the dough to a covered bowl and let it rest. 15 minutes should be sufficient.
- 3. Cut the dough as desired to form bars or loafs and place on greased pans. Cut slits in top of bread as desired. Let bread raise on pans 30 more minutes or until the tops of the bars begin to flatten.
- 4. Place in a very hot oven (450°F) for 30 to 50 minutes, or until the tops of the bars become toasted and they sound hollow when knocked on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pans and let cool.
- 5. As with any bread recipe it may not come out exactly right the first time, but with practice the results are incredible. I've made a few mistakes, but now it comes out perfect and has that panderia flavor.

[Translate] A friend of mine was kind enough to send me some pictures of a Tunisian pre-wedding henna party she attended in honour of her sister-in-law who was married this past week. North African Jews have kept their traditions, and one of them is to have a henna party prior to the wedding. Depending on what your family or country traditions are, the henna party is either a week or the night before the wedding. Also, it is either a women's only party or friends and family are invited. This party was attended by males and females and was more than a week before the wedding. It was held at a large event's hall. Click here to continue reading this post

Bankers and Chancellors
William W. Bratton & Michael L. Wachter
93 Texas L. Rev. 1
The Delaware Chancery Court recently squared off against the investment banking world with two rulings that tie Revlon violations to banker conflicts of interest. In this article, Professors Bratton and Wachter address the controversy stemming from these rulings, offering a sustained look at the banker–client advisory relationship. They begin by giving a detailed explanation of what investment bankers do when a company is sold. They then use economic analysis and a legal framework to examine potential conflicts of interests between bankers and clients, followed by a hard look at the Delaware Chancery Court's two recent decisions on these issues. They conclude by experimenting with and analyzing various legal regimes that could be used to regulate the banker–client relationship.

Meet Hinamitetu, the world-class robot gymnast
Known only by the handle Hinamitetu, this little robot has been hard at work perfecting its routine. The results are pretty impressive, especially considering that the robot's home gym looks like it's set up in the middle of its creator's bedroom.
We're not saying that Hinamitetu is perfect: it's had its share of failures, to be sure. But a new video, recently uploaded by Hinamitetu's creator and operator, shows the little bot nailing a landing after executing a quadruple backflip.
That's pretty crazy, even for a human. If you'd like to learn more about Hinamitetu's progress, there's a comprehensive blog of its progress here. And make sure you check out its greatest hits in the video below.

Octogenarian Jazz Pianist Donn Trenner is Honored By the Jewish Historical Society on June 2
Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven Annual Meeting and Brunch Honoring Musician Donn Trenner
10 a.m. Sunday, June 2 at the Jewish Community Center of Greater New Haven, 360 Amity Road, Woodbridge. $36. (203) 392-6125, jhsgnhjazz2013.eventbrite.com
You can find Donn Trenner playing piano every Monday evening at the Arch Street Tavern in Hartford with the 17-piece Hartford Jazz Orchestra, a band he's led since its previous leader, trombonist Chic Cicchetti, passed away 14 years ago. He also occasionally joins a combo led by guitarist Tony Lombardozzi at the Ayuthai restaurant in Guilford, the town where the New Haven-born Trenner has lived for over a decade. At one point during a phone interview last Tuesday, Trenner had to take another call; when he got back on the line, he said, "Huh. I just booked another show."
Here's another place you can find Donn Trenner: at the Jewish Community Center in Woodbridge on Sunday morning, June 2, where the veteran jazz pianist/arranger/bandleader will be given an award at a Jewish Historical Society luncheon.
"They're honoring me for being alive, I guess," Trenner chuckles. Naturally, he'll be performing at the event, sitting in with the duo hired to play at the catered lunchtime event, guitarist Tony Lombardozzi and bassist Brian Torff.
Playing three or four times a week, on average, seems like a busy life for a guy in his 80s, but Trenner says it can't compare to his time as bandleader for "The Westinghouse Show," a syndicated daily TV talk and comedy series hosted by Steve Allen from 1962-64. Trenner coined the phrase "talent incinerator" to describe how a variety show can burn through guests. Remarkably, Trenner was able to keep the show's house band together with just one lineup change in two years. The band was required to play intro and theme music, back the guest performers, jazz up the comedy sketches, and do their own special numbers. Asked if Steve Allen, a pianist and songwriter himself, ever played along with him, Trenner responds "Several times a week, he would want to play duets!"
On the Allen show, Trenner played with guests ranging from Andre Previn to Miles Davis. He remembers a historic time when Lenny Bruce appeared. "We played him on, and he told the audience he was going to say a dirty word — a four-letter word that began with 's' and ended with 't.' He said 'It's so dirty I can't even say it to you. I'll turn around and tell the band.' So he pretended to say the word to us, then he turned back. The word was 'snot.' He did a whole bit about snot, how hard it was to get out of suede." Despite the hilarity, Trenner remembers the entire experience as tense. "Westinghouse, the sponsor, had lawyers there, Lenny had his lawyers there." Westinghouse wouldn't let the episode air. "It was very daring, but we couldn't use it, of course." The show now exists in the archives of the Glaser Foundation First Amendment Collection of the Paley Center for Media.
"The Steve Allen Westinghouse Show" lasted until 1964. Trenner would likely have worked with Allen on another project had the bandleader not already been offered a different TV gig. His career in the 1960s and beyond found him recording and/or touring with Nancy Wilson, Maynard Ferguson, Ann-Margret, Vicki Carr, Rod McKuen and many others. He was part of the band Nelson Riddle put together to score the TV series "Route 66." ("You can hear me a lot" on the album version of the show's theme song, Trenner says.) He was nominated (as conductor) for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction for the 1976 Shirley MacLaine TV special "Gypsy in My Soul." He co-hosted the first Stockholm Jazz Festival in 1980. Earlier in his storied career, he did seven USO tours — not to mention TV and radio shows and Christmas parties — with Bob Hope, an association which began while Trenner was with Les Brown's band. He still keeps in touch with many of his famous friends, saying he called Ann-Margret on her birthday last month and frequently sees Steve Allen's son Steve Allen Jr. He also says wistfully that he's been virtually "commuting" to funerals of old colleagues with whom he worked in the '60s.
Donn Trenner was born in New Haven, growing up in the Whitneyville and Morris Cove parts of town and attending Putnam Avenue elementary school and Hillhouse High School. He ran his own big band when he was just 17. "I used to take the trolley car downtown and would see Major Glenn Miller on the street." (The legendary bandleader/saxophonist was at Yale during World War II, leading the 418th Army Air Forces Band.) Trenner later was drafted into the Air Force himself, where he joined Special Services as a musician, co-producing weekly comedy shows for the troops.
When Trenner moved back to Connecticut in the 1990s after decades of living and working in California, he didn't know he'd be inheriting the Hartford Jazz Orchestra. He was working with lots of musicians in other ways, however. He was contracting jazz players for Mohegan Sun whenever the casino needed them, for performers such as Frank Sinatra Jr. and Ringo Starr. He taught music for nine years at Guilford's Adams Middle School.
Now Donn Trenner is recognized not just for his place in jazz history but for being a stalwart member of the Connecticut jazz community. Give this man an award!Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

FrenEmmy Award Winners: Ian Somerhalder, Ellen Pompeo and More!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The votes have been tallied and the hardware is about to be handed out.
Over the past few weeks, TV Fanatic has presented readers with an opportunity to (politely and respectfully) stick it to The Emmy Awards.
We've presented fans with the FrenEmmys, an online ceremony designed to recognize actors, actresses and programs that have never even received a nomination in any of the major Emmy categories.
Tens of thousands of mouse clicks later, the following stars and shows have been selected as the first-ever FrenEmmy winners:
Best Drama: The Vampire Diaries
Lead Actor in a Drama: Ian Somerhalder
Lead Actress in a Drama: Ellen Pompeo
Supporting Actor in a Drama: Joseph Morgan
Supporting Actress in a Drama: Pauley Perrette
Best Comedy Series: Community
Lead Actor in a Comedy: Joel McHale
Lead Actress in a Comedy: Ashley Rickards
Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy: Jason Segel
Supporting Actress in a Comedy: Kaley Cuoco
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The FrenEmmys
lol to the person that said Ian (Damon) is a supporting Character. Damon is a main Character and thanks to the fantastic acting Job of Ian Somerhalder, Damon became the biggest character on the Show.
@whateva Ian is highest-paid cast member, earning $40,000 per episode.
to Revegenda, Ian Nina and Paul are the main Characters. But even so , Ian is a fantastic actor that can do anything and along with joseph Morgan the best actor on the Show.
Congratulation to Ian somerhalder, he is a great actor and to Joseph Morgan. Both are my Favorites on TVD
yey! finaly, ellen pompeo is being recognized. it's long overdue. she can carry the weight (with cristina yeng) for the show. i am one avid of GA
I don't agree with any of these winners, with the exception of Kaley Cuoco. In fact, there were several categories that were missing notable actors and/or shows. But, this was based strictly on votes, not on acting ability or show substance. Maybe next year we can have a voting option titled "NONE OF THE ABOVE" so those of us who don't agree with the options we're given to vote on, can at least be counted. I would be interested in what the results showed given the choice to vote for Vampire Diaries or None of the Above.
Complete and total horse shit and a total waste of time. Anither bullshit fake award list really the Vampire Diaries (Twilight/TrueBlood light TTV). I get like three of the winners all and they are all on the Comedy side of things. The Drama side makes no sense not one to SOA or the Fringe really John Noble, Katy Segal, Anna Torv, Charlie Hunnan and SoA. You guys are as bad as the real Emmies dont hide behind the fan bullshit you should have called it the ShitEmmies instead then I would have known not to even waste my time. By the way the CW sucks all the shows are horribly written and are ripoffs to major network shows.
I'm so happy for Joseph Morgan and Ellen Pompeo!!! It's a shame that neither one nor the other has had has been officially rewarded. I did not really understand why actresses capricious and selfish as Katherine Heigl can see prices constantly and as a good actress Ellen Pompeo can stay in the shade. And I did not really understand why Micheal Trevino had a price and not Joseph Morgan. Pfff! I think Joseph deserve at least one prize. Joseph Morgan Klaus was able to play so well with so many different scenes and emotions. He has managed to attach an abominable character and I doubt that anyone could have done the same thing. Michael Trevino and what he has done to him throughout the season? The sex scenes with Caroline, being killed by Klaus (best time), the sex scenes with Caroline, the sex scenes with Caroline, and even the sex scenes with Caroline. They have mistaken it had to be placed in the category porn actor! Ellen is the only reason I continue to watch Gre'ys Anatomy and Joseph is the only reason I continue to watch Vampire Diaries.
Im so happy for Joseph Morgan. TVD crew deserve it
Congrats to Ellen Pompeo! Ellen FTW.

As young children we all had vivid imaginations, and many of us dreamed the of one day living the life of the pirate's we saw on our favorite childhood movies. Well one child is living the dream thanks to Kuhl Design Build's latest project in this Pirate Ship Bedroom.
The company has had quite a bit of experience in building dream rooms for children, as they have previously worked on everything from space ship inspired rooms all the way to castles. The latest is definitely one of our favorite, and literally transformed the entire room into a one of a kind pirate's lair.

Hey guys, haven't really gotten a chance to do more than lurk around the forums what with school and all, but I'm offering this up here anyway.
My *First* pump, it won't be my last, but just not my cup of tea right now.
Center Feed Blue Acid Washed Phantom
Condition is 8/10, has only been used 5 times, minor scratches.
Included is-
Phantom (Duh)
Matching Bottom-Line
Matching 11" Barrel
50round Winchester with Lock-Lid 'mod'
Also Included, But not shown (need a camera)
Black 14" Freak-Bored Barrel
Detent Rings
Original replacement parts (Bolt oring/bumper)
.679 freak Insert
Cut down dye lock lid (Lid included). Actually didnt trim it quite enough, it holds a little more than what the winchester does, but is still better than carrying around full sized pods or none at all.
I have a velocity rod and 12g bucket changer that are considered included in price, but they were not in my bag when I checked tonight. I'll be checking at my other house in the evening tomorrow, will update again. If I cannot find them, pricing will be adjusted accordingly.
I'm looking for $250 OBO (US preferred, can discuss Canada on request) as a package. Not really looking to part out unless the offer is really in my favor.
I also have 2 mini 9oz Co2 tanks i could throw in (The weird JT ones, about half as tall as a regular 9, but fatter than a 4.5. They have the "fill tester" strip on the side) for an additional 10$

Alright it worked for me fine. I did installpkg, so I have two versions of OO installed. Which is fine because I don't have my head around the new features yet anyway. I was afraid that I could screw up both installs if I did it wrong, but it was fine.

Their year 2000 dual releases: FLIPPER 1 and FLIPPER 2. FLIPPER 1 features two original graphic novellas, SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL by Itzik Rennert and BLOOD ENGAGEMENT by Mira Friedmann, as well a specially wacky, full-color supplement by Batia Kolton, entitled DEEP STUFF. In these novellas, Rennert explores the reasons for good an evil through a student's eyes in Hell, and Friedmann explores the motivations of a Renaissance woman who encounters a bloody proposal she simply can't refuse. ... FLIPPER 2 features two more original graphic novellas, THE SISTERS D'ESPARD by Yirmi Pinkus and BYGONE by Rutu, as well as another full-color supplement by Batia Kolton, entitled LOSERS OF DOLLYLAND. In THE SISTERS D'ESPARD, Pinkus tells the tale of an opera diva addicted to seances, who comes to Tel Aviv to perform the role of a lifetime ... the Night Queen on Motzart's Magic Flute. On the eve of the premiere, a spooky message arrives from the other side. And in BYGONE, Rutu explores the lives of three tragically orphaned sisters who run a theme hotel in a small town. When a handsome photographer comes to stay, he ends up awakening secrets from the past. ? Don't miss these two excellent graphic novels from the premier Israeli comics publisher.
