Play Your Part
An overview of the Player's Guide and Player's Vault for WFRP |
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Published 28 December 2010 |
"All sorts pass through here. It's them who calls themselves adventurers I like the most. Strut in here gabbing about saving Altdorf from giant rats or even, Sigmar's breath, daemons. Always a good tale to tell. I admire folk with imagination. Plenty of coin on 'em too, that is until I get 'em under the table with a pint or three of Lector's Toe."
– Klara Vogel, barmaid and cutpurse
Most people of the Empire resign themselves to the fate the gods have assigned them, but some strike out to forge their own destiny. These individuals follow the path of the adventurer. Fame and fortune beckon... often accompanied by horror, violence, and death. Will you stand among the terrified masses as a beacon of hope?
The Player's Guide and Player's Vault have been on store shelves for a week, but if you're still uncertain how these versatile new tools can improve your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay experience, we're pleased to present a brief overview of their contents. Guides are hard-cover books that contain the core rules of play, while Vaults contain all the innovative components that make Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay such a revolutionary system. Although the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set remains the single most comprehensive entry point for new players and GMs, our new Guides and Vaults provide the opportunity to own only the content you want, customizing your collection based on your group's specific needs!
For more guidance on how to begin, see our "getting started" guide, or read New Options for the Old World, an article spotlighting the all six Guides and Vaults. Today, let's take a closer look at the Player's Guide and Player's Vault.
The Player's Guide compiles all the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set player information into one hard-cover tome, and it showcases Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's innovative career system while making it easy to reference hundreds of exciting actions, spells, blessings, and special abilities from the original Core Set, as well as numerous expansions—now all in one handy resource. It also features streamlined rules for gameplay, character creation, exciting combats, and engaging encounters. In the past, we've presented these excerpts from the Player's Guide: Basic Careers (pdf, 996 KB) Ranged Actions (pdf, 1.1 MB) and Modes of Play (pdf, 1.9 MB). Today, to show the full range of content offered in the Player's Guide, we're pleased to share the Table of Contents (pdf, 600 KB).
Meanwhile, the Player's Vault is packed full of components, making it a great option for players wanting to jump into an existing campaign with their own materials. It's full of valuable player resources, including 30 careers, 45 talent cards, more than 150 action cards, five party sheets, and a pad of character sheets. The full colour punchboard features more than 30 player character standups, as well as the stress and fatigue tokens, tracking tokens, stance pieces, and activation tokens a player needs to manage his character during a session or over the course of a campaign. Here is a list of contents (4.2 MB) included in the Player's Vault.
Whether you're a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay veteran looking for additional components and references, or a new player joining an existing group, the Player's Guide and Player's Vault provide the content you've been looking for. Pick yours up at your local retailer or our webstore!
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure, in the grim setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.
Have to agree with willmanx and ffgfan.
Dice and stands should also be in the players pack.
And the dice pack should modified to have enough dice to cover at least single starting characters needs during a game. 4 of every type maybe.
Other than that everything looks awesome, and our game will be starting up shortly
The Players vault does not have plastic stands only the GM Vault has does! The palstyic stands and dice are only in the GM Vault!
Is it me or does the player's vault not have the plastic stands in that picture for the stand ups?
It's a pity that the PLAYER VAULT is sold with NO SET OF DICES.
More over I would like to suggest to change the dices in the set of dices : as we need 4 challenge dices to play the game, 1 is really not enough. On the other way, there are too much conservative/reckless/characteristics dices.
No Errata? - Thats what I hoped for... *sad*
Why did you not use this post to release the character sheet from the back of the book. This news post is basically a very long winded way of releasing a content list.
I bought the Guide since I already have the materials from the Vault. I did so because it does what I've been begging for from FFG for a year now: summaries of the materials. That way my players can have cards in-hand and I can reference them in the book. A bit pricy for a reference tool, but makes carrying all the 'rulestuff' around easier than shuffling between books and the new character sheet (which it says in the book will be up at some point online) is a nice upgrade from the current limited one. There are some wasted bits (reprinting the Party sheet details eats up about 1/4 of the back) but the fact that players can track all their information between sessions (what crits, how much recharge is on an action, etc) are things I had made for my party and now have in one tidy package.
That product is good but brings nothing new. You will find now errata there, just a little less complex language and more examples. I have it so I know what I'm taking about. If You have the core set there's no need to buy it. If You want to start playing WFRP You better buy the core set. But if You are a player and want to have all the rules anc careers for You - buy it!
PS. The lite version of the game is a big misunderstanding in my opinion. You just must write all the material from the cards to a paper sheet - so there's no way you can really play and have fun when You're not using cards & tokens. In my opinion
PS2. I like the thing that The Ratcatchers tale from the support page is published in it becouse it's a good novel.

Q: A 25-ounce box of cereal costs $4. The manufacturer shrinks the size to 22 ounces but charges the same $4 cost. Does inflation data in the Consumer Price Index reflect the increase as 12 percent?
A: This is factored into the CPI as about a 12 percent increase, Steve Reed, an economist with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, said in an email. "The question comes up a lot, which is understandable, as small size decreases seem to be fairly common these days," he wrote.
BLS researchers who gather price data check every specification of the items being priced, including size. "If anything changes, it is noted and a decision must be made about what to do about it," Reed wrote. "For small changes in size, the usual solution is to calculate the price change per unit."
Q: I have read many stories in the press about the four Americans killed in the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, but I have not read exactly how each died. Were they shot or did they die in the fire while trying to escape?
A: Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and Sean Smith, an information management officer, died of smoke inhalation during an attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in September. CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, former U.S. Navy SEALS, were killed by an exploding mortar shell while manning a machine gun post during the second wave of attacks.
Q: Can you give us a history of Nike and how the Swoosh became associated with it? Is most of Nike equipment manufactured in China or other countries? Do leagues have contracts with Nike or individual teams?
A: Bill Bowerman, the track coach at the University of Oregon, and Phil Knight, a runner who graduated from Oregon and earned his MBA from Stanford, formed Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964 and began selling Tiger running shoes made by Japan's Onitsuka Co.
Bowerman took apart the shoes to see how he could improve them and began testing them on his runners. They brought in Jeff Johnson, who came up with the name Nike in 1971, and designed several early shoes.
Portland State student Carolyn Davidson was hired to do design work and came up with several "stripes" for the shoes. They picked the one "which was the least awful," Davidson told Salon.com in 2011, and it became the familiar Swoosh.
The new footwear, with the Swoosh, debuted at the 1972 U.S. Track & Field Trials, where it was a hit. Bowerman died in 1999, and Knight is the chairman of the board of the directors for Nike.
Most Nike shoes and apparel are made in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, The Oregonian reported last year.
Some leagues, like the NFL, have exclusive contracts with Nike. The company replaced Reebok as the NFL's supplier for licensed on-field apparel before the 2012 season. Nike also has deals with the athletic departments of many universities and colleges and supplies uniforms and apparel to those schools.

My mother was born and raised in Bavaria. Our family loved red cabbage. She is gone now, but I've adapted her recipe with just the right ratio of ingredients to make it just like hers!

Try whole wheat pasta, or a low fat cheddar cheese soup to lighten up this recipe. You could also use lean ground beef in place of the turkey.

text: Not sure if it's the weather, or the FOMO I'm feeling while sitting in Jersey during Miami Music Week, but I could spend all day listening to sullen electronic ditties like Madeaux's latest. One of the biggest sounds in my world right now is that "alternative R&B" that's been floating around, and there's something about the Gallant-featured "Epinephrine" that sticks out to me. Madeaux tagging this as "quiet riot" is the realest SoundCloud tag I've ever read. Songs like this dwell in the pit of your stomach, that horrible feeling of betrayal you experience but can't act out on. Building the intensity like he has mirrors the inner turmoil one might feel in those situations, and while this doesn't climax into some mind-numbing ragefest, it doesn't have to. Not all of us wear our anger on our sleeves; proper introverts riot inwards, quietly. You can grab this impressive number for free, then come back 'round later this week for a Madeaux gem from us on the road to his full album, Love The Machine.

The Hasselblad approach to cameras and digital backs is built on the concepts of versatility and user friendly operation. A typical result of this is the unique CFV 50 digital back. It is the only digital back that can be used on all lens shutter or focal plane shutter based V System cameras produced from 1957 onwards. Furthermore, this is achieved without external cables, making digital shooting with your V camera even easier than shooting film.
The CFV 50 digital back boasts a list of many beneficial features. For example, safe and non-stop computer-free capture of hundreds of images onto a CF card. Tethered use allows not only capture controls but also special tools such as live video and overlay masking that help bring productivity to advanced set composition. Images are stored in the Hasselblad raw file format, 3F RAW (3FR), that reduces the required storage space by 33% and can be opened either in the Hasselblad Phocus software or directly in the latest release of Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop.
Features such as Digital Lens Correction place Hasselblad in a very strong forefront position. This sophisticated fine tuning takes place in Phocus and removes all distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration. It is available for virtually all V System Carl Zeiss lenses allowing a new level of quality from your old and trusted lenses. Hasselblad Instant Approval Architecture (IAA) creates a powerful digital workflow control that uses audio and visual feedback to make life easier for you. The Hasselblad RGB color profile takes the worry out of difficult tone reproduction too.
The CFV-50 is the only digital back which ensures cable-free operation when mounted on a Hasselblad V-system camera while at the same time enabling full integration with various technical camera and shutter configurations.

The April 2 spring election will be peaceful in West Allis and Greenfield, where all the candidates will run unopposed.
The three candidates running for the West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board include incumbents - board President Susan Stalewski, 1237 S. 54th St., and Jeff Sikich, 2550 S. 95th St. The third is newcomer Patti Ulwelling, 7514 W. Dakota St. She will succeed veteran board member Annette Frymark.
The unopposed school races will be the only local ones on the April ballot. No terms of West Allis municipal officials expire this year.
In Greenfield, the mayor and all school board candidates will run unopposed.

No Greenfield aldermen are up for re-election in the spring.
On the Greenfield School Board, Don Carlson will step down in April after completing his first term. Robert Hansen, 3328 W. Vogel Ave., will run for his spot.

Mexican narco gangs have ruined parts of Mexico. We need to keep the pressure on them. Thank goodness the ICE agents will recover. Countless people and treasure expended in the mid east. Hardly any effort to control a greater threat from our southern border. Frustrating.
Lots of bad stuff happens down here by the Border,hardly ever makes it to the National News unless it has something to do with Fed LEO's getting shot or killed by these thugs.What really irks me is the fact that we house prisoners that are kept in a Prison inside a prison,they will never walk free ever again,are too violent to be in General Population,Are Gang Members who are in charge of "Calling Shots" targeting people for Assaults and Death even Correction Officers.And yet we let them live,IMHO there should be no question that these violent thugs be executed on the spot,If you are too violent to be housed inside a Max Security system,you need to be removed from society.

I agree. What's with Texas capital punishment?If you are too violent to be housed inside a Max Security system,you need to be removed from society.

freaking dirtbags
I got to run warrants one morning last week with ICE agents from the area, very nice guys, very professional, tough job they do
had 3 warrants, got all 3, 2 of them were tied to drug dealing/hispanic gangs, glad we got 'em and will be shown as deported felons now

Phase III of The Avenues, Kuwait's largest shopping destination, is underway. Located in the Al Rai district of Kuwait City, the mall has been designed in collaboration by the London and Los Angeles offices of Gensler and in conjunction with Kuwaiti developers Mabanee. Phase III will consist of more than 86,000 sq m of retail space when completed in early 2012.
Once complete the third phase will house 545 retail units in total, including 52 food and beverage outlets. The mall has already attracted interest from leading international brands with Harvey Nichols having already agreed terms.
Chris Johnson, managing principal of Gensler London, said of the project: "The Avenues is the region's premier shopping, lifestyle and entertainment destination and Phase III will elevate this offering, positioning it as a world class retail shopping destination. Truly a retail evolution, The Avenues completely redefines the shopping experience for the consumer; it is as much about place making as it is retail design."
Located close to the centre of Kuwait City, The Avenues has set a benchmark for high quality retail in the region. Phase I of development opened in 2007 and houses more than 230 retail units including an IKEA showroom as well as retail brands Banana Republic, Gap, H&M, Zara. Phase II opened in 2008, offering over 200 higher-end shops, a large food court and outdoor dining venues.
As well as being appointed lead architects on the project, Gensler's design teams are responsible for delivering the interior design, way finding and marketing materials.
Mohammed Alshaya, Chairman of Mabanee Co. SAK, the owners and developers of The Avenues Mall, commented: "The pedigree of Gensler, in providing world class architectural designs, naturally made them the perfect partner for Mabanee as we strive to create another exciting chapter in the continued development of The Avenues. The start of the construction is another milestone for our company, and we look forward to our opening in 2012, offering the population of Kuwait a new and dynamic experience."

I've read numerous posts by you and you are very knowledgeable. Other than FP, which you have, which TL would you recommend? Thanks for any input!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If I was buying a new machine for myself, first choice would be a frontloader with onboard water heating, likely a Whirlpool or Maytag unit. :-) That being said, and I'm hesitant to be referencing machines I have not used ... an HE toploader would be a unit also with water heating, such as Whirlpool Cabrio WTW8800YW or Maytag Bravos MVWB950. Without water heating, probably an F&P AquaSmart. Non-HE would be an F&P EcoSmart, or a Whirlpool agitator unit such as WTW4850XQ (automatic water level sensing) or WTW4800XQ (manual water level selection), or maybe a Speed Queen. Consider that pretty much all deep-fill toploaders on the market now are running with reduced water levels ... meaning the highest fill level is lower than in the past, although capacity is considered to be unchanged. That presumably subjects a "full" load to more aggressive agitation, but perhaps wash time is reduced to compensate. More of an issue for some people is that the rinse water level is also reduced lower than the wash level in some cases. That's one reason why I may recommend F&P's EcoSmart as an agitator toploader choice. It still does a full deep fill to best of my knowledge (auto-sense water level or 5 manual selections), has a choice of water saving shower rinse or agitated deep rinse (or two deep rinses), is EnergyStar by way of the EcoActive wash process or can do a deep-fill hot wash via a simple programming function. An option to consider is finding a used toploader in good condition, such as a Whirlpool, Kenmore, or KitchenAid of the direct-drive design 5 to 10+ years old ... or a unit that's in less than pristine condition and refurbishing it. I've done a Kenmore 90 (10 years old at the time I got it, now 12 years), and a Whirlpool TOL Catalyst 9 years old.

Signs of the continuing flood of silky petrodollars are everywhere around Markin's museum. Four out of five landmarks are under scaffolding: the Bolshoi Theater is due to reopen in 2008; the Rossiya Hotel and the Hotel Moskva are in the raw-concrete stages of rebuild. A brand-new Ritz-Carlton opened in July on the old Intourist site, proffering $35 cocktails and antiques-stuffed rooms where previously there were prostitutes and passport checks. A person waking up at the Ritz (a very lucky person) can stroll a few blocks down the road to hushed jewel-box boutique TsUM. Here, slim-thighed trophy wives named Ksusha browse an exquisite selection of $1,000 dresses in sizes two and four. (British retailer Nicholas Harvey, founder of Harvey Nichols, is rumored to have come out of retirement two years ago to advise at TsUM; in any case, the store has nailed the bright, glossy, perfectionist Russian aesthetic, making this a worthwhile stop on the worldwide shopping circuit.) The Ksushas move from shopping to primping at the city's most famous bathhouse, Sandunovskiye Baths, renovated in 2006, which offers ornate halls for steaming, plunging into cold pools, being massaged with coffee grounds and honey, and sipping tea. Then around the corner they go, for dinner: The Most serves a novel kind of Russian cuisine in czarist-dream surroundings. Black bread comes with an exotic fruit-and-olive chutney. Beets appear in a surprising, sublime cold soup with pistachios. This is central Moscow now, refined and elegant as it hasn't been since the era of Pushkin.
Making an impact on such a landscape isn't for the faint of heart. Take Dymov, the Siberian sausage king and unlikely bibliophile. He has close-cropped salt-and-pepper hair and sparkling Tartar eyes and is at first glance a no-brainer candidate for the cover of Russian GQ (which has, in fact, nominated him for its 2007 Man of the Year award). On the day we meet, I can see the edge of a tattoo curling from under the sleeve of his polo. (Later, he shows it to me: it's a griffin; the design was taken from the city gates of Suzdal, his favorite village). He could not be less like the stereotype of the scaly oligarch, despite the fact that he's Russia's largest meat-processor, with five factories in the Far East and a fortune estimated at $80 million.
Dymov's bookstore, Respublika, has a sleek, aggressively modern interior and the slogan "Books, music, perspective." On sale are gorgeous editions of everything from Nabokov classics to tomes on Soviet architecture; a huge library of music; high-end correspondence; and a smattering of international design objects curated by Dymov. There's a café, a popular series of readings, and a screening room for art-house films. Although Dymov admits that "purely as a business, it's not as good as meat-processing," Respublika is breaking even, and three more branches are scheduled to open in the next year.
The bookstores are part of a general Dymov initiative to provide aesthetically pleasing things for non–status-obsessed Russians, something few other business owners seem to be doing. He just opened a chain of high-quality, low-cost, instantly trendy sausage-and-beer halls called Dymov No. 1. "I'm not interested in Ferraris or the Côte d'Azur," he says. "I care about who I am and what I'm doing in life. It's like Maslow's Pyramid: First you think about how to survive, then you think about luxury and status, and then you think about your soul."
Children of the old elite have souls, too, and though most are busy living like 18th-century aristocrats (plus cocaine), a significant few have greater aspirations. Nina Gomiashvili, chic and delicate with close-cropped hair, is the daughter of a Soviet film star and a Polish ballerina. She owns Gostinaya, a restaurant highly recommended for Russian home cooking. She tramps the backcountries of Italy and the Republic of Georgia with a camera and two Georgian painters in tow to collect folk recipes for her cult cookbook series. And in Vinzavod, a neighborhood now being billed (somewhat ambitiously) as Moscow's Chelsea, she has opened a gallery, Pobeda ("Victory"), which aims to introduce Russians to photography as fine art. Its first show was a provocative narrative series by Ellen von Unwerth.

A 13-year-old with autism will be allowed to attend his neighborhood middle school after waging an online protest against a school district plan to segregate him.
Henry Frost took to social media after his Tampa, Fla.-area school district insisted that he attend a special program for students with disabilities rather than the school located just yards from his house.
In an online petition asking school officials to reconsider, Frost said that the district told him he would need to take tests and demonstrate that he could climb the building's stairs, among other requirements, before he could attend his local school. Frost garnered more than 4,000 supporters on Facebook along with over 6,500 signatures on the petition and now the school district appears to have backed down.
After 14 hours of meetings, Frost's family said he will be allowed to attend his neighborhood school and will have the assistance of an aide and other accommodations in the new placement, reports NPR StateImpact Florida. To read more click here.

Awesome! Keep on fighting for your rights. I am proud as I have a middle schooler with ASD.
Awesome!!! This is wonderful news to hear!
Does the school district not understand the term Least Restrictive Environment. It makes me proud to see this young man advocate for himself, but I am sad that he had to.
Good. May the students, staff, and faculty be more welcoming than was the administration, and may Mr. Frost thrive in the Least Restrictive Environment.
Now how about compensatory education for losing the first few months of the year?
This is what it takes to get a school to do thier basics. Not anything over the top just basic rights. And getting it done in florida where the good ole boys are is a big congrad for this young man. Hope everything goes well and if your are reading this you have alot of support your way.

Year in Review: Why Movies in 2012 Were About Personalities, Not Characters
2012 Year in Review By Landon Palmer on January 1, 2013 | Comments (4)In this end-of-year editorial, Landon Palmer discusses the pattern that movies demonstrated in 2012 for telling stories through protagonists defined by their various personality traits rather than through conventional, straightforward characters. In so doing, movies this year showed how our individual identities have become divided within various aspects of modern social life. This trend made some of the year's movies incredibly interesting, while others suffered from a personality disorder. Landon argues that movies ranging from The Hunger Games to The Dark Knight Rises to Holy Motors alongside cultural events and institutions like the Presidential election, social media, and "Gangnam Style" all contributed to a year in which popular culture is finally became open about its constant engagement with multiple cults of personality. Six years ago, Time magazine famously named its eagerly anticipated "Person of the Year" You in big, bold letters. Its cover even featured a mirror. As a result of the established popularity of supposedly democratized media outlets like Facebook and the home of the cover's proverbial "You," YouTube, Time declared 2006 as the year in which the masses were equipped with the ability to empower themselves for public expressions of individual identity. More than a half decade later, social media is no longer something new to adjust to, but a norm of living with access to technology. Supposing that Time's prophecy proved largely correct, what does it mean to live in a 21st century where we each have perpetual access to refracting our respective mirrors?
Vote for Drunkenness With 'The Campaign' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on October 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBy now, you have to be sick of pretty much any political campaign. Just think, in a short week, this will all be over and you'll either cheer or cry, depending on your candidate of choice. Don't you love American politics? In this last week of the 2012 election season, you can watch the absurd election comedy The Campaign, and then you can realize that in the context of the races going on around the country, it's really not all that absurd. That thought alone should drive you to drink, so why not enjoy some structured drinking as you enjoy the movie?
This Week In Blu-ray & DVD: Alfred Hitchcock, Ruby Sparks and Super Bitch Fall into a Coma on The Campaign Trail
Features By Rob Hunter on October 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Safety Not Guaranteed A trio of magazine writers (Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson, Karan Soni) head to a small coastal town in Washington to investigate an intriguing classified ad. Once there they discover as much about themselves as they do the oddball (Mark Duplass) behind the time travel-themed ad. If the synopsis sounds hokey just know that the resulting film is a sweet and simple delight from beginning to end. Plaza balances her usual cynicism and sarcasm with a true emotionally satisfying performance while Johnson and Duplass bring heart and laughs as well. It's rare to see such a small film manage such an uplifting finale, but writer Derek Connolly and director Colin Trevorrow manage something special here that deserves an audience. Also available on DVD. [Extras: Featurettes]
From George W. Bush to Cam Brady: The Politics of Will Ferrell's Comedy
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 14, 2012 | Comments (1)Will Ferrell is a funny man. This seems to be a fact undeniable even to those who don't otherwise care for his brand of comedy. Even though his schtick has become reliably familiar – he often plays variations of an over-privileged adult child who is hopelessly naïve in certain categories of social life and prone to random bursts of livid anger – its regularity has yet to prevent Ferrell's comic talents from growing stale. There seems to also be some indescribable aura at the core of Ferrell's comic talent, something about his appearance and demeanor that can't be explained through analyses of timing and punchline, as evidenced by his strange appearance on Jimmy Fallon last May. For many, Ferrell's comic appeal has been this essential, indescribably funny core since his SNL days. Ferrell is funny not exclusively because of his physical comedy or imitable characters; he, as a force of nature, is pure farce (a farce of nature?). But as his film career continues to accumulate titles and as his unique comic sensibilities become better-known with his roles as producer and writer, it's clear that, beneath his farce, Ferrell has a confrontational political and satirical streak underlying much of his work, which has naturally led to him portraying a politician in Jay Roach's The Campaign. Ferrell's roles, however, often exercise a fascinating and occasionally self-defeating tension between satire and farce, with one element substituting, rather than laying the groundwork for, the other. Here's an overview of the politics of Will […]
'Bourne' Beats Up 3-Week-Old Batman at Box Office
Box Office By Scott Beggs on August 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentChristopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises was king of the hill for three weeks, but this weekend found it at the bottom of an inescapable prison. By "inescapable prison," I mean in 3rd place with another $19.5m and a cumulative $835m worldwide gross, so no one is eating soup and cabbage at Warners or anything. The Campaign – featuring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis punching babies for votes – took 2nd with an opening draw of $27.4m domestic. The unsurprising winner, however, was The Bourne Legacy which scored $40.2m here in the States and a worldwide total of $48m. That's a better opening than The Bourne Identity but it's a bit behind the two other franchise entries. Again, not surprising. In slightly smaller releases, the Meryl Streep/Tommy Lee Jones marriage drama Hope Springs came in 4th place with 1,000 or so fewer theaters, taking $15.6m. Travis Pastrana's stunt-fueled Nitro Circus: The Movie 3D took $1.1m from 800 theaters for a debut at 13th place, but in super limited releases, Julie Delpy's follow-up 2 Days in New York brought in $27,000 on only 2 screens, beating the per screen average of every other movie this week. A close second on that front? The US release of Max and the Junkmen (Max et les Ferrailleurs) which earned $13,000 off just one screen at the Elinor Bunin Monroe Film Center, only 41 years after its original release abroad. [Box Office Mojo]
Jay Roach Explores The Neurosis of Comedy with 'The Campaign'
Features By Jack Giroux on August 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe Campaign is much edgier than director Jay Roach's previous comedies. While many of them features titans going head-to-head — Mike Myers vs. Mike Myers, Stiller vs. De Niro, and Rudd vs. Carrell — he's never taken it to this extent. From how Roach describes it, that darker side derives from the film's R-rating, which Roach, Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, & Co. fully embrace. There's an inherent meanness to the lengths Ferrell and Galifianakis' characters go. When The Campaign takes a slightly sentimental turn towards the end, it works in part because of their, as Roach describes it, undeniable likability. To make their face-off work, Jay Roach went through his fair share of neurosis, a character trait part of all the comedies he's made.
This hasn't been the most prolific of summers as far as blockbusters are concerned. The Avengers gave this season a promising start, but no action film came close to matching its scope and sheer love for fun. Last month was the most disappointing proof of that, with the very flawed Amazing Spider-Man and the messy finale we got with The Dark Knight Rises. However, there's been a good run of independent releases so far — Killer Joe, Headhunters, Safety Not Guarnteed, Your Sister's Sister, Take This Waltz, etc. — and this August is no different, with plenty of small and greatly satisfying offerings to be discovered.
'The Campaign' Official Trailer Pits Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in a Baby-Punching War
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 11, 2012 | Comments (1)Whether you appreciate his work or not, there's no arguing that director Jay Roach solidified his place in the world of big screen comedies by launching both the Austin Powers and Meet the Parents franchises. As many tickets as those movies sold, he probably never had to work in the movie business again. Unfortunately, he did, and he made Dinner for Schmucks, a movie that hasn't had very many nice things said about it by anyone. After a brief break from the comedy world, directing the HBO dramatization of the 2008 presidential campaign, Game Change, Roach finds himself back in the comedic sphere, perhaps utilizing some of his more ridiculous experiences putting together Game Change, to bring us The Campaign. Roach's new comedy was already introduced to us a few days ago, when the film put a couple of fake political ads for its two main characters, Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) and Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), up on Facebook. But now the marketing team is back and eager to impress with the film's first full-length trailer; a somewhat reassuring trailer that already contains more laughs than the entirety of Dinner for Schmucks.
'The Campaign' Trailers Masquerade as Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Campaign Ads
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 7, 2012 | Comments (1)Though Jay Roach's upcoming political comedy is no longer called Dog Fight, it does still star Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as two Southern political rivals running for the same congressional seat, and it does still have the potential to be pretty hilarious. These days the movie is going by the name The Campaign, and it looks like it's about to hit us with a pretty big marketing blitz. Facebook pages have been set up not just for the film itself, but also for the two fictional politicians that Ferrell and Galifianakis will be playing, Cam Brady and Marty Huggins. On each of their respective pages you can also find the politicians' first TV ads, which exist somewhere in a state of limbo between viral ads and traditional trailers. What you're getting is really just chunks of footage from the film slightly edited to look more like political ads than they do your typical movie trailer; so they're not going to make even the most unwitting and least discerning advertising target think they're watching anything other than footage from an upcoming movie.

April's project for the Free Motion Quilt Challenge used Don Linn's method of transferring quilting motifs using tulle as a transfer agent. It worked pretty well except the unavoidable problem when marking-what to mark with.
Don's method uses a Sharpie to trace your desired motif onto a piece of tulle. Once you heat set the tulle, you then place the tulle where you would like the design to be. You transfer the design by tracing over the tulle, using a water soluble marker. Just to keep it simple I used my lily motif as my focal point.
I don't have much tulle lying around but being a garment maker, I have buckets of silk organza so I traced my motif onto the organza with a Sharpie. I forgot to heat set my design before transfer and oops-the Sharpie bled onto my finished piece in some areas. Leave it to me to make all the mistakes…!Since I don't like to wet my work, I chose to use the heat-erase Frixion pen. I tested it first on my fabric to make sure it would not leave a bleach mark (I blogged about the Frixion pens here and here). I still have a lot of concerns about the marks blooming back.
I also tried using Misty Fuse as my basting agent (instead of safety pins)-it worked well! If you're not familiar with Misty Fuse, it is a very light weight 2-sided fusible without paper backing. It's like really fine cheesecloth. It has a strong bond, adds no bulk to your work, does not gum up your needle and barely alters the hand of the fabric-great stuff.
You first fuse it to one side using a non-stick pressing cloth-I used Bo Nash's non stick pressing cloth. I fused the Misty Fuse on my backing and my front, and then fused each of them to the wool batting. It worked beautifully.
I really don't like to quilt around safety pins so I am always looking for my new favorite way to baste. Misty Fuse is a bit pricey and I need to make sure I don't lose any of the "puff" of the quilting from the fusing. There is more testing to be done on this in the future for me-stay tuned.Just for grins I used my new motif, hmm think I'll call it "flutter", and fluttered the space around the lily motif. Although I loooove the flutter design, I think it competes with the lily and is way too distracting. Perhaps if I had made a pool of some repeating motif around the lily, then the flutter motif would have been lovely. Just continuing the echo did not work well on the long curve of the stem.
It is a challenge so I'm glad that I didn't commit to do this on a major piece as I would have been disappointed in the final outcome. I do love the flutter and I do love the lily, they're just in competition in this piece. Any thoughts on how to fix it? I would like to keep the two together somehow, but this way did not work so well.

Administration and Finance ensures that the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County uses its financial resources in a manner that is consistent with management's policies and intentions and with legal restrictions. It oversees recruitment, training, benefit administration, policies and procedures and safety and liability programs.
Administration and Finance has the following responsibilities:
The District manages funding from property taxes to aid in land conservation efforts and to create education and recreation programs for the public. From stocking preserve lakes with fish to holding annual events that increase knowledge of the county's plants, animals and cultural history, dollars translate into ways to care for and protect natural resources. View the Fiscal Year 2012 - 13 infographic here.
More than half the money to run the forest preserves comes from property taxes. Those property taxes make up only about 2% of the average homeowner's bill, with the bulk coming from schools and other taxing entities. For the owner of a $300,000 home, that would amount to approximately $140. Because of its fiscally prudent approach, the district has lowered its property tax rate 12 of the last 18 years.
The District also charges residents certain fees and permits for use of facilities and services. Those charges make up about 7 percent of the District's overall revenues.
To report on its financial position and the results of its operations, the Forest Preserve District uses fund accounting, which demonstrates legal compliance and aids financial management by segregating transactions related to certain functions and activities. Funds are either governmental or proprietary. Governmental funds account for most of the District's general activities, such as land acquisition, capital development, servicing of general bonded debt and general operations. Proprietary funds account for business-type activities and receive a significant portion of their funding from user fees.
The most recent voter-approved referendum passed in 2006, authorizing the sale of $68 million in bonds to acquire land, restore native habitats, and maintain and develop trails and other recreational facilities. Because federal tax regulations require that 85 percent of the funds from the sale of bonds be used within three years from the time of sale, the Board of Commissioners completed two bond sales. A sale in the amount of $34,770,000 was completed in January 2007, and a sale in the amount of $33,130,000 was completed in November 2008. This plan will allow the District to meet obligations while achieving a manageable balance among high-priority land acquisitions, habitat-improvement projects and the development of trails and recreational amenities. So far, funds from the 2006 referendum have contributed to the purchases of 360 acres at 14 locations.
In March 2012 Standard & Poor's gave the District a AAA bond rating on a new debt refunding issuance and reaffirmed the District's AAA rating on existing bonded debt. This was the third time the District was rated under Standard & Poor's Financial Management Assessment, which is effectively a report card on the District's financial-management personnel and practices. Under this assessment, the District has maintained its "strong" rating — the highest rating possible — which is defined by Standard & Poor's as indicative of "practices that are strong, well embedded, and likely sustainable." These high ratings were transferred into low interest rates as underwriters negotiated with investors on the bonds.
The budget is the foundation of the Forest Preserve District's annual financial planning and is a tool that staff uses to manage daily operations. Each budget year begins on July 1 and concludes on June 30 the following year. All District offices submit budget requests, which serve as a starting point for the development of the comprehensive document. Taking public comment into consideration, the Board of Commissioners reviews and revises the appropriation before its adoption. Though not a formal part of the appropriation ordinance, the board uses a 5-year projection of revenues and capital expenditures in its financial planning.
For highlights of this fiscal year's budget, view the news release "Forest Preserve District Budget Approved for 2014 – 2015."
View the 2014 – 2015 Annual Budget.
Links to complete budget documents for fiscal years 2009 through 2014 are at the top of this page.
The Forest Preserve District is required to publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Links to reports for 2006 – 2013 are available at the top of this page.
For the past 25 years, the Office of Finance has received a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its comprehensive annual financial report. The most recent award was for the report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. It is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment. The award recognizes that the District publishes an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive financial report.

Nov 9, 2013 11:07 PM by Associated Press
RENO, Nev. (AP) - A northwestern Nevada superintendent says there's no evidence a seventh-grader was bullied before he fatally shot a teacher, wounded two classmates and killed himself at Sparks Middle School last month.
Pedro Martinez tells KTVN-TV (http://bit.ly/1eqRcfw ) that there's nothing in Washoe County School District records that indicates Jose Reyes was bullied.
Jose and Liliana Reyes have used the word "teased" to describe what their son faced about a speech problem but said he never showed signs of harboring anger or resentment.
Their attorney, Kent Robison, told KTVN that Jose was teased at school and even saw a counselor.
Some students have said bullying played a role in the shooting, but police said they have no evidence of that and have refused to comment about anything that might have provoked the attack.

Amazing Aussies Lethal White Rescue of AZ
Facts about Mason
- Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is Mason!
Mason's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Mason was born approximately September 2009. He is an Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle dog mix. He is DEAF and VISUALLY IMPAIRED. He was rescued from Santa Cruz Animal Control. He can see very well out of his right eye. What a handsome and sweet boy he is!! He gets along well with every dog he has met and absolutely loves people and kids.
Due to his breed mix, Mason is a high energy pup and will need an active family who will exercise him on a daily basis to relieve his excess energy. He would do really well at dog parks as he is a very social dog. Even though he is deaf and vision impaired, he would be a wonderful candidate for agility and obedience classes. He is a quick learner and very eager to please.
Mason does great on car rides - he sits nicely in the passenger seat and watches the traffic go by or sometimes he just lies down and takes a nap. He is also very well behaved while getting a bath he doesn't dance around or struggle at all; he stands nicely and is very patient. He mastered the doggie door in no time.

I like Mandriva the best, but am concerned about it's future.
I'm currently trying to become more distro independent, if that's possible.
I've started building my own kernels from kernel.org.
Wayne Sallee
Yea, I agree that it would be a good idea to e-mail the members when the form is fully operational again.
Wayne Sallee
Looks like I'm the first one back. :-)
I'm glad to see Linux back on-line. It was down for quite a while.
It will be interesting to read the report that comes out as to what transpired.

I'm a kernel noob, so, what I'm telling you is just an assumption of what you did wrong. Maybe check out the steps you took to build the kernel, and see if you left something out.
It makes no differeence whether I use the old config, or a fresh config.
The problem is that when an attempt to install the module is made, that I get the error.

I have googled this and found a thousand answers, but none of them seem to answer my problem.
I have been using the distro kernels (Mandriva), but needed to install a current kernel directly from kernel.org.
When doing a modprobe on some modules I get this error.
This error usually means that one thing is using a different version, but I can't find where that is happening.
I have a lot of kernels installed, but while the distro kernels don't give me that error, any kernel I install from source from Kernel.org, I get the error on a few modules.

School panelists make pitch for council to pass $46.2m budget
Thursday, May 9, 2013
DOVER — A senior at Dover High School told city councilors during a public hearing Wednesday night that the students joke they cannot graduate until they trip on the stairs and have a ceiling tile fall on them.
The budget, as it stands now, according to School Business Administrator Michael Limanni may be the first-level budget the district has seen in the history of Dover.
"I'm asking you tonight to put aside any differences," she said, and to vote to do what is right for the community and the kids. |

Media Minute: Anniversaries make news
Media Minute: Anniversaries make news
By Jerry Brown, APR
The Titanic is back in the news. Again. And, if you're surprised by that, you shouldn't be.
Saturday was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the famous ship, an event that horrified the world when it happened and that has intrigued Americans ever since.
So, all the news stories about the Titanic over the past few weeks were entirely predictable. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee some editors and enterprising marketing/PR people began thinking months or more ago about how take advantage of that anniversary to connect with their audiences.
The Titanic memorial cruise that set sail from Southampton, England, on April 8 to retrace the fatal voyage of the Titanic? Brilliant marketing and public relations. It's generated tons of news coverage, particularly over the weekend while the ship making the memorial cruise was at the site where the Titanic went down.
A point I've made before in the Media Minute: Anniversaries of major news events, good or bad, make news. The bigger the original story, the bigger the anniversary stories.
And anniversaries aren't the only opportunities to use the calendar to tell your story. There are seasonal stories that generate news coverage every year.
There will be stories over the Memorial Day weekend about the beginning of the summer grilling season, an opportunity for companies that sell grillable food or outdoor-cooking equipment. Mother's Day and Father's Day will generate stories about gift ideas. And so it goes.
Here's my challenge to you, one I've made before: Take a look at your calendar to see if there's anything coming up in the next year you can use to make it easier to get attention for your story. If there is, how can you take advantage of that opportunity?
That's my two cents' worth. What's yours?

YES!! My HG under-eye concealer!!! At first I was taken aback by it's orangey colour when the MUA suggested me but after I blend it out, my dark circle just disappear... This one is comparable to GA's master corrector. I also super loveeeee the packaging. And you only have to apply a slight amount of the product. Too much of it will gave you orange streaking. Why not 5 lippies then? Well, it works wonder with my dark circle but it doesn't help much with my other imperfections like black spots and acne. It accentuates them, in fact. Also the price is quite high for just an under eye concealer. All in all, love this product! Ps: Got it in 350 for HK$280 (US$36)

I use MUFE HD foundation in #120 Perfect colour match. After 2 years of using mufe hd foundation and drugstore concealers ei. maybeline age rewind which is okay, I decided I needed something with a bit more coverage with the light feeling of the age rewind concealer. Headed into Sephora and had originally asked about the full cover concealer for under eye darkness. The girl told me that I shouldnt be using full cover for under eye and that the HD concealer was my best choice. She asked if I wanted to be matched and by matched she actually meant to find the right colour to best conceal my under eye darkness. She tried 2 colours and #325 was perfect and dead on some darkness may show throu a teeny tiny but good coverage, brightens up the area, not cakey, i set lightly with a translucent powder, once applied if i get the setting lines i just rub it out lighly and voila, stays all day :) a bit on the pricey side for the amount but hey if it works and your happy why fight it. For now will use. a few clicks to the back of my hand rub and mix it a bit with ring finger and pat in area to be concealed. done..

Settled in every line under my eyes. Didn't work at covering blemishes-it just sort of disappeared.

I have this in #320, I am fair skinned with pink undertones and I'd say this is a pretty good match. It is very pink compared to other concealers I've tried and it's a liquid which works well for my very dry skin. However, for the price it is just not worth it. Sure it works ok and it brightens under my eyes but I can still see some discoloration after I put it on and I have tried every different way to put this on but still, the circles are still there. For reference, my under eyes are not that bad all things considered so to me, a medium coverage $30 concealer should be able to cover them perfectly which this does not. If you are wanting to try this out I'd say get a sample first.
UPDATE: Ok this stuff works actually pretty good, I realized I was just being way to picky and seeing the dark circles when no one else could so ya it covers quite well but I still wouldnt re-purchase because it's way to expensive.

I think this is my favorite concealer that I've used. I have it in the lightest shade, 305 porcelain, and it fits my very pale skin really well. Not perfectly, but pretty close. (Whenever I wear foundation, I have to mix in a few drops of the thick, pure white Illamasqua rich liquid foundation to lighten it, so that should give you an idea of my fairness.) It's very creamy, it looks very natural. I prefer to blend it in with a finger rather than a brush. I do dislike that it starts to crease under the eyes so easily (not so natural then), the applicator sometimes oozes, and it's kinda pricey, but I can't complain that much.

The excellent concealer for under eye area. Perfect coverage if applied correctly (I always use an additional good eye moisturizer a minute before I use the concealer), it looks natural and true for hours.

I have been using this HD concealer for my dark eye circles ever since I found it! Fourth stick and counting! It's formula is such a breeze to spread and apply. I would layer it with a very thin layer of loose powder that comes with Bobbi Brown eye concealer just to complete the coverage. However, even without the loose powder, it looks great especially on photos! The micro light reflecting particles infused in the concealer brightens up the eye area and it is most obvious on photos. I also find that this is the only eye concealer that does not dry out my eye areas yet providing good coverage. It does not oxidize throughout the day and it is so long-wearing that I do not need to touch up even after an entire day of work.The cons are its price, the amount of concealer in the stick is extremely little, and the applicator head is totally useless!

This is one of the rare concealers which matches my skin tone exactly. (I'm Asian with medium-toned skin) I was excited to find a perfect match while trying it out at Sephora, but when I tried using it the next day, it caked up very easily. It's a bit pricey for the amount in the tube.
Tip: Use a fluffy blush and apply with a VERY light hand. It helps to mix it with a dab of eye primer to prevent caking.
I won't purchase it again, but will use till it's finished up.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Easy to apply and has decent staying power. Can be a bit drying under the eyes.
Pretty pricey for the amount of product you get, so probably will try to find a cheaper substitute.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)The Stolen Heart of St. Laurence O'Toole and the Anglican Church's Loss of a Catholic Heart
By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq.
March 7th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Not so very long ago, the rejection of artificial contraception as immoral was the common heritage of all Christians, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. It was the received moral teaching for all Christian Churches and all ecclesial communions. It was something they all shared based upon their common Scriptural heritage, their shared Christian sentiment, and the natural moral law. CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Only a few days ago we learned about the theft of the heart of St. Laurence O'Toole (ca. 1128-1180), the great medieval Catholic Irish saint canonized by Pope Honorius III in 1225. From a noble family, St. Laurence was a monk who eventually became Abbot of the Abbey of St. Kevin at Glendalough ("Valley of the Two Lakes"). He declined the offer of the bishopric of Glendalough when offered in 1160. St. Laurence, however, was later encouraged to accept the Archbishopric of Dublin, which required him to leave his Abbey and its monastic life.
Desiring to continue his religious life, he donned the canonical habit and instituted a canonical life for the Cathedral priests based upon the Arrousian Rule. A great reforming bishop and consummate pastor, St. Laurence encouraged liturgical reforms and the use of Gregorian chant, mediated political disputes, dispensed great charity to the poor, the sick, and the hungry, was named Papal legate, and built and rebuilt churches, including Christ Church Cathedral. He was a model bishop. St. Laurence was buried at the Abbey of Our Lady at Eu in Normandy. His heart, however, remained preserved at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, which Church was alienated from the Catholic Church and incorporated into the Church of England during the reign of King Henry VIII. By historical accident and political theft, the Anglican Christ Church Cathedral therefore became the custodian of this great Catholic saint's heart. Sadly, on March 3, 2012, the steel cage in which the heart was placed was forcefully opened, and the Saint's heart taken from the Church. The Anglican Church was not in any way negligent for the loss of its heart. It was a victim of theft. In a way, however, another heart of the Anglican Church was taken long time ago. But the loss of this heart was caused by its own negligence; indeed by its own bishops. The theft occurred in 1930, at the Seventh Lambeth Conference. What heart was it that the Anglican Church lost in 1930? The heart it lost was the traditional Christian teaching regarding the use of artificial contraception. Not so very long ago, the notion that artificial contraception as immoral and was not acceptable to Christians was the common heritage of all Christians--Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. It was the received moral teaching for all Christian Churches and all ecclesial communions. It was something they all shared based upon their common Scriptural heritage, their shared Christian sentiment, and the natural moral law. Indeed, in the Sixth Lambeth Conference of 1920, the Anglican Church teaching regarding artificial contraception was aligned with all Christendom, including the Catholic Church. The Sixth Lambeth Conference taught that it had "grave concern the spread in modern society of theories and practices hostile to the family," and that it desired to "utter an emphatic warning against the use of unnatural means for the avoidance of conception, together with the grave dangers-physical, moral, and religious-thereby incurred, and against the evils with which the extension of such use threatens the race." "In opposition to the teaching which, under the name of science and religion, encourages married people in the deliberate cultivation of sexual union as an end in itself," the Anglican Church continued, "we steadfastly uphold what must always be regarded as the governing considerations of Christian marriage." But a mere decade later, at the Seventh Lambeth Conference in 1930, the Anglican Church caved in. It lost its heart. Here was its teaching, adopted by its bishops by a vote of 193 ayes and 67 nays, manifestly changed from a mere decade past. Though it encouraged periodic abstinence as the "primary method" of the exercise of responsible parenthood, the Church capitulated to the modern ethos, in a great moral apostasy, "that other methods may be used." Thereby the Anglican Church invited into its Communion a way of life that was against an ethic of life, against received Christian teaching, and against the natural moral law. The cage of its sexual doctrine was violated by its own bishops, and the heart of the Christian teaching on conjugal life stolen from that communion. The act of the Seventh Lambeth Conference was to cause Pope Pius XI to issue his encylical Casti Conubii, On Chaste Marriage, which reaffirmed the received Christian teaching that "any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the law of God and of nature, and those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of a grave sin." "I am devastated," said the Anglican Dean of Christ Cathedral regarding the theft of St. Laurence O'Toole's heart, "that one of the treasured artifacts of the Cathedral is stolen." It is, he concedes, a "priceless treasure that links our present foundation with its founding father." And so it is. The relic's theft is sad indeed, and good cause for the emotion of devastation. But more devastating yet was the loss of the priceless treasure of the Anglican teaching on artificial contraception in 1920 which linked the Anglican Communion at one time with its foundation in the Catholic Church and her founder, Jesus. This teaching--which not so long ago bound all Christians bar none--was stolen by the Anglican Church's own bishops in 1930. That--even more than St. Laurence O'Toole's heart, as grievous a theft as that may be--was the real devastation. That is the theft every Anglican should be talking about and over which every Anglican should feel himself or herself aggrieved. ----- Andrew M. Greenwell is an attorney licensed to practice law in Texas, practicing in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is married with three children.

Texas Forensics Science Commission Considers Willingham Case
Posted: October 15, 2010 5:54 pm
The Texas Forensic Science Commission met today in Austin and considered the arson case of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was executed in 2004 despite his claim of innocence.
At the meeting, commissioners questioned whether Chairman John Bradley had jeopardized the commission's integrity with public comments that Willingham is a "guilty monster."
"We are being used, and we should recognize that," Bradley said (during the meeting). "When do we get to respond to those lies? Who is going to correct the record?"
"There is a difference between correcting the record and making the type of statement we are talking about," said Sarah Kerrigan, the laboratory director at the Sam Houston State regional crime lab.
But Bradley then referred to the Innocence Project's effort to clear Willingham as "politics and a circus sideshow."
"Texans deserve to have a prosecutor's voice included in the discussion of forensic science, a voice that can include concern for the victims of crime and not just the perpetrators of crime," said Bradley, who was appointed to the chairmanship last year by Gov. Rick Perry.
Stephen Saloom, the policy director of the New York-based Innocence Project, said Bradley shows "a critically important lack of objectivity" in his approach to Willingham. "His job here is not to be the DA and the friend of the governor," Saloom said.
