love, not war was the catch cry of the 1960's. Against a background of
anti-war demonstrations, hippies and free love, Caroline's life is in
turmoil. Her soldier brother is on his way to the jungles of Vietnam.
She discovers she is pregnant with her wealthy boss' baby, and her draft
dodger friend is on the run and needs her help.
Harrington cursed as an anti-war protester shoved a placard through his car
window. Unwashed bloody hippies, disrupting a man going about his lawful
business. It was 1966, for God's sake. The government ought to lock up the lot
of them.
"No conscripts
for Vietnam!"
a young woman screamed.
Bryce was
tempted to slam his foot on the accelerator and scatter them all in his wake.
He was going to be late, and he didn't like tardiness. It showed a lack of
discipline. Arriving at work, he parked the car, climbed out and swore. Some
moronic protester had scratched the car door.
In the
executive office, another shock awaited; a note from his secretary.
I'm sorry. Joan had written in her neat
hand. Have gone home. Felt a migraine
coming on.
He slammed the
door and marched down the corridor to see Miss Bumpstead, head of the typing
pool. What a shocker of a morning it had been. A bloody nightmare.
First, the
stray puppy he had been feeding for more than a month had been run over by some
creep who didn't even have the decency to stop and check on the little mutt's
welfare, just left him lying on the road like a piece of garbage. The puppy was
so severely injured he had to take the poor little thing to the vet to be put
Then he gets
caught up in an anti-war demonstration. And now, to top it off, his secretary
goes home and leaves him at the mercy of some giggling little girlie from the
typing pool.
"Good morning,
Miss Bumpstead." Mustering all the will-power he possessed, he managed to keep
the anger out of his voice. No point in getting the old dear offside. "My
secretary's gone home sick and I've several urgent letters to dictate, so I'll
need to borrow one of your girls."
She jumped to attention like a soldier on parade. "Right away, Mr.
"Thank you."
He forced a smile, hoping it didn't look like a snarl. She had been employed by
the company for years and deserved respect. He had always followed his father's
dictum: "Treat your elders with consideration,
they've earned it."
watched Bryce Harrington as he spoke to Miss Bumpstead. He always looked
impressive, tungsten tough. Not pretty-boy handsome, but he had a strong,
character-filled, no-nonsense face. His full, sensual mouth looked extremely
kissable. What would it feel like being held in those strong arms? Having his
hot lips pressed against hers?
Butterflies fluttered around in the pit of her stomach. His gray eyes
held the slightly jaded world-weariness of a man who worked and played hard.
Not an ounce of excess fat could be seen on his tall, lean frame.
jumped when Miss Bumpstead spoke to her. "You have fast shorthand."
Embarrassed heat crept into her cheeks. If this woman could read minds, Caroline
Dennison was a dead duck. Thank goodness Miss Bumpstead had focused most of her
attention on Bryce Harrington.
"I'm sure Miss
Dennison will be glad to act as your secretary. She's only been here for a few
months, but she's a conscientious worker."
"Thank you.
Come along, Miss Dennison. I don't mean to rush you, but these letters are
stood, managing not to knock her chair over. The nerves in her stomach knotted,
and her throat suddenly felt dry and scratchy. She had dreamed about this
moment since joining Harrington and Son, Building Consultants three months ago
as a junior typist. Get a grip on
yourself, girl. You've wanted to be near him. This is your big chance. Don't
ruin it.
Close up,
Bryce looked even more imposing. He radiated an aura of success and power that
only supreme self-confidence and enormous wealth could give.
"I haven't
taken shorthand for a while. My speeds might have dropped." Why did she always
feel so inadequate?
His eyes
narrowed and he swiped at a dark swathe of hair that flopped on to his
forehead. He had the type of brown, almost black hair that would have looked
unruly if it wasn't so superbly cut. How many times had she dreamed of running
her fingers through it? He didn't appear to use much hair oil, either. Why did
so many young men ruin their hair by slathering it with oils or creams?
"I'm sure
you'll be fine. Caroline, isn't it?"
He favored her
with a wide, white-toothed smile. What a gorgeous hunk of manhood.
He strode off,
giving her no option but to grab her bag and follow. She didn't know where his
office was, the executive office suite being a definite no-go area for lowly
At the typing
pool doorway he stood to one side to allow her to pass through. Their bodies
almost touched. She inhaled his spicy after-shave lotion and musky male scent.
He stormed down the corridor with her scurrying behind him like a mouse chasing
after a piece of cheese.
They passed
two closed doors. The third he shouldered open. Caroline's heart raced as she
entered the inner sanctum. A huge filing cabinet took up one wall and a late
model electric typewriter reposed on a desk next to a small switchboard.
"Right, this
is your office, Caroline." He gestured
to a connecting door that stood half open. "I'm through here. Get your
notebook. We need to start immediately, there's a lot of work to get through."
"I haven't got
a notebook."
He gave an
exasperated snort. "My secretary keeps hers in the desk, I suppose. Help
yourself to anything you need." He turned on his heel and strode into his
office, closing the door with a loud click.
Her hands
shaking so much she broke a fingernail, Caroline opened the top drawer of the
desk and rummaged until she found a shorthand notepad and several sharpened
pencils. Was she violating the secretary's privacy by going through her desk?
Well, too bad, she needed the right tools to do the job. Grabbing a couple of
pencils, she stepped across her office to the boss' door. Hesitating for a
moment, she took several deep breaths before gathering enough courage to give a
tentative knock.
He wrenched
the door open. "For heaven's sake, girl, don't dither. We'll be here all night,
at this rate."
She followed
him into his lair, nervously glancing around. A huge desk in the center of the
room dominated the area. He threw himself into a brown leather chair positioned
under a large window, while she hovered in front of him.
"Sit down, I
don't bite."
His lips
tightened as she sat opposite and opened her notepad, pencil poised, ready to
start. He held a ruler in his hand and looked liked he wanted to snap it in
"All my
letters commence and finish the same way," he said, spacing his words as if he
were talking to a five year old. "So you can take the body of the letter and
fill in the rest later."
He started
dictating, his voice clear, well modulated. At first it proved an easy task
taking down what he said, even though her fingers trembled. Don't let nerves turn you into a gibbering idiot. Once he got into his rhythm,
however, his tempo quickened, causing her to get flustered.
"I'm sorry Mr.
Harrington, but I missed the last few words."
He frowned.
"Read me back the last couple of lines."
"We are
interested in opening up…"
"Wrong, wrong."
He took a couple of deep breaths.

Oprah To Star In "shack" Movie
Posted 30 April 2014 - 06:13 PM

A book by the lost, for the lost, casted by the lost, into a movie for Christians to flock to.
Posted 01 May 2014 - 08:24 AM
Considering it was Christians that turned the book into a best seller it's likely to be Christians that turn the movie into a hit.
It was bad enough hearing so many pastors talking about how good the book was and how Christians should read it and learn new perspectives, all while dismissing or downplaying the obvious and egregious errors and sins within the book, but now we'll have to go through it all over again when the movie comes out.
I read an article somewhere yesterday where many pastors are denouncing those pastors who have spoken out against "Heaven is for Real". Their basic claim is that all the "little things" some pastors have "nit-picked" about should be ignored so everyone can embrace the movie and be encouraged by it.
How little the Bible is consulted or held to these days, even by many pastors.
Truly the fear of God is absent when so many Christians willingly and easily dismiss the clear Word of God in favor of embracing books and movies that make them feel good, that they think make Christians look good, that present a god (not THE God of Scripture) that's more to their liking.

To that end, EDR is announcing its third annual Eskew+Dumez+Ripple Research Fellowship opportunity. The focus of this year's Fellowship is to conduct applied research in the field of community engagement. The Fellow will explore the breadth of tools and formats that are available to designers to conduct meaningful public outreach around architectural and urban placemaking projects.
Nearly every design project involves some form of community engagement. Typical public outreach strategies often rely on the public meeting as a forum for decision-making. Today, in an increasingly global and digital era, more opportunities for sustained dialogue and long-term buy-in for planning and design projects are emerging. For example, successful projects are increasingly leveraging digital technologies and novel storytelling methodologies to garner and maintain interest in project outcomes. Public process participants ideally become champions of the project through implementation and ongoing governance.
Research Fellows are paired with EDR staff to develop and refine research goals. Fellows are brought on to help with client projects and marketing endeavors in order to test and vet their research, generating feedback loops for continued learning and refinement.
The goal of the EDR Fellowship is to provide meaningful and unique professional experience within a studio-based research environment. Fellows work under the guidance of the studio's leaders to produce work and to document and present the results at the end of the Fellowship tenure.
The 2014/2015 Fellowship will support two individuals, one for 12 months, and one for 3 months. The three month fellowship will focus on digital means and methods. The twelve month fellowship will bring digital, storytelling and other formats into a broader framework of community engagement. The Fellows will collaborate for the first 3 months, generating testable questions, benchmarks and tangible tools that the 12-month Fellow will develop for the remainder of the fellowship term.
Application Guidelines
• Candidates are encouraged to come from a range of disciplinary fields, but will operate in a design studio. The capacity to visually represent and graphically refine research and results is preferred, but not required. We will consider applications from computer programmers, interaction designers, marketing and communications specialists, writers, and other non-traditional backgrounds.
• Fellowships are open to candidates currently pursuing professional degrees who have completed at least six semesters of academic coursework, through those who have graduated with a professional degree and are within 3 years of that graduation.
• Submittals must be transmitted the website form below.
• The position is paid; however, lodging and transport (to New Orleans) is the responsibility of the Fellow.
• No phone inquiries please. However, our studio is open to visitors in New Orleans wishing to stop by.
Application Items
Candidates are asked to submit the following, as one PDF, paginated in the following order. The submission upload may not be larger than 5 MB.
• Curriculum Vitae or Resume
• Design portfolio, 10 pages max, only if applicable to candidate's background.
• One of the following:
- A memo relating the candidate's applied experience with community engagement tools, formats, platforms, processes and approaches.
- A work product relating the candidate's experience with community engagement tools, formats, platforms, processes and approaches.
- Well-captioned design portfolio excerpts relating the candidate's experience with community engagement tools, formats, platforms, processes and approaches.
- An original research proposal, 500-1,000 words in length, identifying a specific question you wish to investigate as part of your residence in the EDR studio. The essay should also outline the candidate's proposed methodology. Note: the actual plan of work for the selected candidate may be based on an adaptation of this proposal.
Critical Questions
Below is a list of questions that EDR has assembled over time, which are critical to how we engage communities in a robust design process and tell the story of a design project as it occupies a community. Candidates are welcome to use these as launching points for assembling their application items.
1. What are some examples of effective digital tools and platforms for community engagement?
• What types of design questions/projects are more suited to each tool/platform? E.g.:
• MindMixer and other public feedback aggregator websites
• Real-time public meeting polling devices
• Quick wins through prototyping
• Highly visual, highly accessible archival websites
• Geographic information systems and mapping user group demographics, actions and choices
2. Engagement strategies often need to be layered and sequenced in terms of how they are deployed. What are appropriate and inappropriate ways to do this?
Critical Resources
We have also included a short, curated list of sample references below.

Cilantro is my absolute favorite fresh herb. But I only make two things with it - salsa or black bean/corn salad.
So, I usually delay planting my cilantro so that it is ready when the tomatoes and corn are ready. Does anyone have a recipe using fresh cilantro that they'd like to share? |

First, I am surprised that you grow your cilantro timed to harvest with your tomatoes and corn. Cilantro likes cool (not cold) weather to grow best. It has a tendency to "bolt" when heat comes on. And I know Chicago gets pretty warm and humid about tomato-corn time. Second, here is one recipe I pass out to my students: CRISP-SIDED SALMON WITH FRESH CILANTRO PESTO Serves 4 Ingredients 4 6-oz pieces of fresh salmon fillet, with skin, no bones For the fresh cinlantro pesto: 1 large bunch fresh cilantro Directions Put the cilantro leaves in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, with the garlic, pine nuts, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the grated cheese. With the blade of the food processor turning, slowly pour in the remaining olive oil in a thin, steady stream. Continue working the ingredients in the machine until the pesto thickens and emulsifies. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut off any fatty or bony edges from the pieces of salmon and trim the pieces neatly. Rinse the pieces under cold running water and then transfer them to paper towels and pat dry. Transfer to a plate and brush the skin of each piece of salmon fillet with some vegetable oil. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan until it is hot. Add the salmon fillets to the pan, placing them skin-side down. Cook over medium heat until the skin is quite crispy and the sides are opaque, 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The top should be still slightly soft, showing that it is rare. Transfer the salmon fillets to warmed individual plates, sprinkle them with sea salt, and spoon some coriander pesto beside each fillet. Decorate with twisted lemon slices and fresh cilantro leaves.

I use it on lots of things, i.e. meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, salads, etc. I love to take eggrolls and place them in a lettuce leaf with fresh mint and fresh cilantro and then roll them up. It is very refreshing. Here is a recipe published in Texas Monthly. You can always substitute chicken for quail. Grilled Cilantro-Poblano Quail DAVID BULL, DRISKILL GRILL, DRISKILL HOTEL, AUSTIN 1 jalapeńo, roasted and with stem, skin, and seeds removed Preheat grill to 350 degrees. Purée first 5 ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add salt to taste and set aside. Sprinkle quail liberally with salt and pepper on all sides, then rub thoroughly with chile butter and allow to sit for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook quail until grill marks appear and birds are medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. For medium, add another minute on the first side. Baste with chile butter while cooking. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish plates with cilantro sprigs. Serves 8. Copyright © 1973-2008 Texas Monthly, Inc. An Emmis Communications company.

Wow, some great recipes. Thank you everyone! I may have to grow cukes this year to make becky's asian dish. It sounds so refreshing. I found a recipe I'm going to try (link below). I may try it with canarybird's mojo sauce, that sounds good! (Doesn't look too appetizing, even tho I love cilantro so much!) I do plant my cilantro late, the "long-standing" type. It is short lived, but that's ok since I get to use it with the tomatoes and corn. I love fresh corn off the cob, I use it raw in the black bean salad. |

My favorite taco has chopped onion and bite-size pieces of beef cooked over high heat in a cast iron skillet (onions are still crisp). Spoon into warm corn tortillas with a small handful of cilantro leaves. |
I tried to grow cilantro and Italian parsley several years ago and gave up after they burned up in the hot summer temperature. Fortunately we have a huge Korean supermarket where I can buy large bunches of these herbs. I love this creamy cilantro dressing. I also like to make a pineapple/red bell pepper salsa with cilantro. Ann Creamy Cilantro Dressing 1 cup mayonnaise Whisk all ingredients together. Cover and chill. Makes 1-1/4 cup dressing.

Cover and refrigerate a few hours. |
Here's lots of recipes! -I didnt' know there were so many |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cilantro recipes
I just made this carne asada recipe from the America's Test Kitchen cooking show. It came out really great, as I guess most of their recipes do (only made one other, the cheesy garlic bread). I saw a cookbook or magazine of theirs, boy. They really test every recipe every which way, don't they? I just might have to subscribe to their site. Anyway, here's (pretty much) their recipe: 1 1/2 lb flank steak, cut into four long strips Herb Paste - Pulse all ingredients for 8-10 times in food processor: Then add 1/4 oil and process til paste forms. Reserve about 1-2 Tablespoons paste and add 1 Tablespoon lime juice to it. Set aside. Poke the flank steak on all four sides of each strip - they used a fork. (I use a heavy duty meat poker.) Salt the strips with 1 1/2 teasp salt. Massage the paste into each strip, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 min. Before cooking the steak, wipe off all of the paste. (I actually rinsed it off real quick.) Add 1/2 teasp each of black pepper and sugar (I massaged it all over the meat.) Pan fry the strips, making sure to turn them four times to get each side browned and crispy. Let rest 5 min then slice across the grain. Toss the steak in the reserved paste. We were amazed that the flank steak was so tender after only marinating 30 min. It had a great taste (I had to make a separate batch with no "green" stuff, I just used oil, salt, pepper and cumin. These were tender also.) I also made their pickled red onion/jalapeno side. It was good on the tacos - heat 1 c red wine vinegar, 1/3 c sugar, 1/4 teasp salt and two sliced jalapenos. Just heat to melt the sugar, do not cook. Pour this over sliced red onion in a bowl. Cover lightly and let come to room temp (about 30 min). And of course, I used lots of fresh cilantro on my taco! |

Digital Clock Needs 48 Analog Hands to Tells Time
It took me a second to figure out what was going on when I first got a look at this table full of analog clocks. But once I stood back from my screen, I realized that none of the clocks have the correct time and the whole thing is a macro timepiece that tells the time using 24 individual clocks.
Created by Swedish designers Humans Since 1982, the Clock Clock installation features 48 electronically-controlled analog clock hands which automatically rotate into the proper positions to form a giant digital display.
Here's a video of Clock Clock in action to give you a better idea of how it works:
If you happen to be in Sweden this summer, the Clock Clock will be on display at the Röhsska Design Museum June through mid-August 2009.
Brilliant idea. Maybe someday they'll build a miniature version I can put up on my mantle.

Inspired by other projects and proposals around here, I revisited an old project that was mothballed and never finished - Addon Ability cards. It never worked out because players in Talisman want everything to be free and immediate once they get it... or they want someplace to buy it off with just gold. Either way, it just wouldn't work that way and would turn Talisman into chaotic game of "superheros" at the superpowers mall instead of stalwart adventures. I'm making this rather long post here vs. on my blog or elsewhere because this is where I've found the greater number or thoughtful homebrewers for this game. And I need feedback from such more serious developers before I decide if and how to burn more time on this idea stuck in my head.
The balance and superhero problem with too many new abilities piled on characters who already have them is still at issue. But if the abilities were gained outside of the Adventure deck, still had a cost to have them, and there was more uncertainty in drawing them, maybe that would work for some groups. Most of my stuff ends up being niche work anyway, but overall, that's the case with any homebrew. They aren't really made for ALL players groups. And so I'm proposing what I call a "Legends" deck for lack of a better term, which would be composed of multiple card types and not just Special Abiliites.
Each card [sub]type would be produced in separate supplement packs. Any group could decide which card [sub]type pack to use in their Legends deck. If they want to use just Special Ability cards, then they can have at it. Customization is always attractive... isn't it? Drawing from the deck would have a mechanic based in the actually where, when, what of activities by the characters themselves in the game. That way, access to the Legends deck is self-governing, and maybe produce some entertaining little races to get to its top card first.
You'll see why/how below, and the deck doesn't become obtrusive with too many draws too often. The greed of players for "more power" will govern how often a Legend card might affect the game. Card mechanics would be rigged so that anything extra required by a Legend's draw could be accomplished during general adventuring. Let's start off with how the deck would be prepped and when a card is drawn.
- Shuffle the enter Legends Deck and place it near the board for convenience.
- Take the top card off without looking at its front side.
- Slide the top card under the deck, face down, and not into the Legends discard pile. This way, the actual top card with its key to how to get it is a surprise to all before the game begins.
- Each card back indicates either a space or Adventure card [sub]type that must be encountered for the top card to be drawn.
- The first player to finish a turn in which it encountered what's on the top card's back may draw that card. A draw is NOT required.
- That player looks at that card, determines what type it is, and follows simple rules by card type to take action upon it.
- Some card types have the option to discard them immediately if the player/character does wish to keep it. This applies to the Special Ability card type. Other card types may affect the game as a whole and be an opportunity for all, so they must be put into play.
- Differing card backs are thematically linked to multiple card fronts of varied type (Special Ability, Legend, Task, etc.). Thereby uncertainty and risk in accessing this additional deck matches that found in standard encounter decks for the game.
Special Ability card type
See Gallery of "beta" samples for this card type.
These are what most players will want, but they shouldn't be free like drawing an Object or Follower. That turns back to the problem of unbalancing the game. Any one new ability added on top of those on a character card has the potential to make it futile for some other players/characters to continue a game. New abilties must be challenging to add, giving other players/characters a chance to do the same in reasonable time.
Nor are they to be bought at particular locations in most cases; in being drawn, they might be acquired in more places according to the card back. Some can be activated anywhere, during certain types of encounters, or on certain groups of spaces, or when a particular action can be first successfully accomplished related to the specific Ability. The actual place where an Ability card is drawn does not always match where it can be used once activated. Some abilities of limited "where" of use could still be potent enough for "when" of use that they need to be more readily available. Note "Cragwise" to the left is used in the Crags but its back (seen above) indicates that it can be drawn on completing a turn in any Hills space.
Drawing an Ability card
Upon doing so at the end of the current turn, the player may privately review the card and decided whether to keep it or not. If the card is not desirable, it is discarded immediately, and the turn ends. If the card is kept...
- The player reviews "Activate" requirements on the card front's bottom and places the card face down next to its character card. This indicates an "unactivated" ability, and the turn ends.
- The player may look at and review the card's requirements at any time. No other player may do so for any reason, by any means.
- An unactivated Ability cannot be lost in any way other through discarding it by choice.
- Any player may have only one unactivated Ability at any time.
- If the same player later draws another Ability card while it has an unactivated one, it must decide whether to discard new one or keep it and discard the one it already has. The new Ability card is then handle by steps 1 through 4 above.
Activating an Ability and the new "Seek" rule.
- When the activation conditions of an Ability are met, the Ability card is turned face up next to the character card. The ability can now be used as described, just like those found on a character card.
- An Ability cannot be lost or discarded once it is activated.
- Some activation requirements may included the the key word "seek." This is usually related to a particular space or spaces that must be reached in order to activate this ability. The "seek" does not apply to reaching a destination for "using" an activated ability; normal movement must be used for that.
The "Seek" Rule.
This key word may be found on other card types as well and is linked to description in the card of a particular space or space type. During play, a character uses normal movement options available, but it may stop short on any destination linked to a "seek." For example, Cragwise activation says to "seek the Crags." If the player is within 3 spaces of the Crags and rolls 3 or higher on the movement die, it may stop short on the Crags to "seek" that space instead of using its full movement roll.
NOTE: Unless instructions on a card say otherwise, the player may not access any other options for the space of the "seek." It does not draw cards or get to use options of choice (such as in the Village, City, etc.). But it must apply any non-choice effects as found in spaces like the Cursed Glade, Desert, etc., for it is inside those spaces. There are risks to be faced in gaining any new form of power.
The "seek" rule allows players a better chance beyond random movement to gain something drawn out of the Legends deck. It thereby also allows players to do so without interfering with normal, general adventuring. But it only applies where and when as stated on a Legend card.
Activation Costs - the price for power.
I analyzed probabilities for encountering all Adventure card and space types and subtypes in the core game, as well as subprobabilites within individual cards and spaces. I dug 3 to 4 levels deep into the probabilities. This built a statistical range based on a specific chance of the ability being used in relation to card and space [sub]types for its benefits, deficits, advantages and risks and how often any such would come up. The numbers for individual abilities revealed that common notions among some players about certain ones were off the mark or outright false.
One instance was the woods-walk (woods teleport ability) of the Elf, that some have poo-pooed. I've always used it to good and sometimes devastating advantage; now I know why for certain. Primarily it allows more certainty in raiding the Adventurer deck on more turns and also getting out of range of other characters coming after it in the Outer Region. There were other more subtle though rare advantages; too many to go into.
The constructed probabilty values for individual abitlities were then used to determine how much an Ability should cost to activate. Sometimes that cost was mitigated (lowered) by adding a location or other condition for activation. All costs were done by setting a cost range (initially 0 to 7) and applying the Ability value numbers to that range. Costs were not estimated off the cuff.
I did like probability calculations (up to 3 and 4 levels deep) for units of cost. I looked at how easy or hard it was to gain a "free" or commonly sought unit of various types (Strength, Craft, Life, Fate, Object, Gold, etc., and Trophy points in general or of a specific type or subtype). Again, very revealing. It turned out that Gold was nearly the easiest to get with the least risk... almost dirt cheap, one might say, compared to others. It's gotten only worse since the Highlands was introduced, but all probability calculations considered only the core game. And hence, why with most Abilities, it is not the best unit for activation... unless its makes sense for a specific ability. Gold is just too easy a way to pile on new Special Abilities.
Additional gained Abilities need to be treated more like adding on Strength and Craft "skil" points because of the balance issue. They should essentially be earned rather than bought. Almost all of them provide an advantage in dealing with the Adventure or other encounter decks, or such cards in combination with a space type. Thereby many (if not all) can directly or indirectly assist in gaining Trophy points. Though there are Strength and Craft to be gained for free, they are also more commonly raised in "skill" level through Trophy points, and getting them has the highest risk among units sought. Risk thereby mitigates their value versus other more "freely" gains units, even though Trophy points overall are the most readily avialable unit in the Adventure deck.
I'm open to adjusting the costs of abilities, as yes some seem a bit high (on the powerful ones). But change in cost cannot be done piecemeal one card at a time. A range adjustment approach (perhaps lowering the range to 6 instead of 7) needs to be used. Only cost unit types can be addressed on an Ability by Ability basis without creating more imbalance. But I think it would surprise many at what activation would cost FAIRLY in some of those other units. All comments, suggestions, and feedback are welcome and needed.
Legend card type
See Gallery of "beta" samples for this card type.
In order to build some uncertainty and challenge into the Legend deck, additional card types are best mixed in with the Special Abiltiies. As stated earlier, card types would be created in packs, so any group can decide on this themselves; they can just use the SA cards alone for their deck if they wish.
When a Legend card is drawn, it must be played. It cannot be discarded. That is part of the risk and challenge that can be added to the Legends deck for those groups who do not want the deck to just be a way to build Talisman superheroes.
For examples of Legend cards (and Task cards further below), I drew upon card concepts created for two past expansions: Talisman Tasks and the cooperatively developed Space Expanders, which can be found at TalismanIsland.com or on the Downloads page at my blog. The individual cards here are only for examples and not specifically ones that would be used for these card types. Notions for Legends, or even other card types suggested by anyone, might be considered as well.
The term "Legends" for the deck is drawn from these cards, though they are little more legends than the Quest cards are real quests. If anyone has a more suitable term that would work for most players, that would be considered as well. Some tweaking of information organization and card attributes is needed, but for now the examples should roughly show what they are about.
Note the Order number in the lower right-hand corner. Not all Legend cards have the same or any number, and some are outside the known range of 1 to 6 found Adventure cards. This is because certain Legends should have differing minor effects in how they are encountered if and mixed with other ordered game cards on a space. Such a combination would be rare, as by the Legend deck's draw mechanics, these cards should not come into play often... and only because a player has made it happen. The Dragon Tyrant needs to be quite dangerous, or its just nothing more than a strong dragon when encountered, hence its "0" order number. So if any Magic Object pops up on its space, you're going to have to get through him to get to it. And that's they way it should be in this case. Not all Legend cards would require an order number; such is only needed if the card is played on the board.
Legend cards can be seen as something of a mix of an Enemy, Event, and/or Stranger rolled into one. They have a Reward section in place of the Activate section found on Special Ability cards. The reward has been roughly balance statistically (not off the cuff) against the level of challenge involved but without pushing the gain to a game unbalancing level. They are subject to adjustment with this in mind, but in keeping with the deck as whole and not just to make one card more profitable. Overall, they should not be just an opportunity for gains but be a brief game changer, as well as providing some random "story" elements.
I have considered special rules where characters could "team up" briefly to face a Legend and take it out. That's accessory and I won't get into it right now.
Task card type
Task cards, as from the original Talisman Tasks alternative quest deck, are opportunites for characters to "work" to gain something extra. Again, the sample cards presented are only for examples and may not be ones that would be included in a proposed finally Tasks supplement pack. But most are rigged so that completing the task doesn't have a time requirement. Normal adventuring can usually proceed unimpeded, and the task can be completed as need. However, some task do have a time limit or a directive upon activity. Still, along the way, the character encounters the game environment and its opportunities normally.
"Caravan Duty" is one that would fall between the lines. It does require you take a certain route, and the simple "seek" mechanic allows stopping easily at all required destinations. But along the way, the character adventures normally, but with a little extra risk to completing the task. And in this case, there is not risk of additional losses for not completeing it; there are only some gains for how successfully it is completed. And general play for that character attempting it proceeds rather normally.
Like with a Special ability card, accepting a task is optional. When drawn, the player has the option to discard the task and not accept it... at least in all examples so far. I could see a rare task or two that might be require as indicated on a card, but that's and exception to deal with later, if and when.
Final Note
Other than the braid frame and talisman corners on the card back, all graphics for the template were created from scratch. I did give the template front something of a look related to the front of character cards. The Legends deck is in many ways linked to character cards more than anything else in the game and this visual take seemed appropriate. Illustrations were constructed from free stock, copyright free graphics, etc. and some elements from general non-paid advertising graphics. No work from a paid artist was knowingly used. The template remains my property and is not for reuse in part or whole.
And that's what I have so far. At this point, feedback is needed in general and/or in any specifics. Seriously, before I decide if and how to proceed with this resurrected and reconsidered project. Thanks for taking the time with such a very long post.

After suffering a "creative block" with development of his 0x10c project, Markus "Notch" Persson has definitively killed the idea, saying he has "no future aspirations" for it. The keenly anticipated game involved space travelers who wake up after an eons-long hypersleep and have to deal with enemies and other problems aboard their spaceship. He broke the news to disappointed fans on a livestream, but some have decided to keep the idea alive via community effort called Project Trillek. While they'd drop the whole cryosleep bit, the team would keep the concept of a crew navigating space and managing their craft with a 16-bit CPU, Minecraft-style. We're glad it's not dead yet, but whether it can survive the vacuum of a Notch-less space remains to be seen.

Evidence-based psychotherapy is mental health treatment that uses psychological approaches and techniques that are based on the best available research evidence. Evidence-based psychotherapy integrates the latest research with the goals and values of the client in order to achieve the best possible therapeutic outcome. The following is an overview of the types of evidence-based psychotherapy that Evidence-Based Associates offers:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an approach to therapy that focuses on changing the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to and maintain problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. CBT helps you to identify the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you stuck in your current situation, and teaches you skills that you can use to change these thoughts and behaviors and develop new, more effective ways of responding to stress. CBT involves exercises and activities that are assigned between sessions so that you can practice the new skills that you are learning in therapy in your daily life.
CBT has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of a variety of mental health conditions. Evidence-Based Associates offers the following specialized CBT treatments:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
- Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) for Nightmares
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Mindfulness-based therapies help you to focus your attention on your present experience in a non-judgmental manner. By focusing on your present experience, you can direct your focus away from thoughts about the past and anxiety about the future, and instead observe and accept the present situation and all it has to offer, regardless of whether that is good or bad. Being aware of your present experience can give you the freedom and space to shape your behavior in a way that is consistent with how you want to live your life. Mindfulness-based therapies are experiential, and involve experiential exercises both during and outside of therapy sessions.
Mindfulness-based approaches have been shown to be effective across a wide-range of mental health conditions. Evidence-Based Associates offers the following mindfulness-based therapies:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 He said also to his disciples, There was a rich man, that had a bailiff [There was some rich man, that had a farmer, or bailee]; and this was denounced to him, as he had wasted his goods. | 1 Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. |
2 And he called him, and said to him, What hear I this thing of thee? yield reckoning of thy bailiffship, for thou might not now be bailiff [+yield reason of thy farm, for now thou shalt no more hold the farm]. | 2 So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.' |
3 And the bailiff said within himself, What shall I do, for my lord taketh away from me the bailiffship? delve may I not, I shame to beg. [Forsooth the farmer said within himself, What shall I do, for my lord taketh away from me the farm? I may not delve, I am ashamed to beg.] | 3 "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg-- |
4 I know what I shall do, that when I am removed from the bailiffship [that when I shall be removed from the farm], they receive me into their houses. | 4 I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.' |
5 Therefore when all the debtors of his lord were called together [And so all the debtors of his lord called together], he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? | 5 "So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' |
6 And he said, An hundred barrows of oil. And he said to him, Take thy caution [Take thy caution, or obligation], and sit soon, and write fifty. | 6 " 'Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. "The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred.' |
7 Afterward he said to another, And how much owest thou? Which answered, An hundred cors of wheat [Which said, An hundred measures of wheat]. And he said to him, Take thy letters, and write fourscore. | 7 "Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' " 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. "He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.' |
8 And the lord praised the bailiff of wickedness [And the lord praised the farmer of wickedness], for he had done prudently; for the sons of this world be more prudent in their generation than the sons of light. | 8 "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. |
9 And I say to you, make ye to you friends of the riches of wickedness [make to you friends of the riches of wickedness], that when ye shall fail, they receive you into everlasting tabernacles. | 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. |
10 He that is true in the least thing, is true also in the more [He that is faithful in the least thing, is faithful also in the more]; and he that is wicked in a little thing, is wicked also in the more. | 10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. |
11 Therefore if ye were not true in the wicked thing of riches [Therefore if ye were not true in the wicked riches], who shall betake to you that that is very? | 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? |
12 And if ye were not true in other men's thing, who shall give to you that that is yours? | 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? |
13 No servant may serve to two lords; for either he shall hate the one, and love the other; either he shall draw to the one, and despise the other. Ye be not able to serve to God and to riches. [+No man servant may serve two lords; forsooth either he shall hate the one, and love the other; or he shall cleave to the one, and despise the other. Ye be not able to serve to God and riches.] | 13 "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." |
14 But the Pharisees, that were covetous, heard all these things, and they scorned him. | 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. |
15 And he said to them, Ye it be, that justify you before men; but God hath known your hearts [soothly God knoweth your hearts], for that that is high to men, is abomination before God. | 15 He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight. |
16 The law and the prophets till to John; from that time the realm of God is evangelized [from that time the realm of God is preached], and each man doeth violence into it. | 16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. |
17 Forsooth it is lighter heaven and earth [for] to pass, than that one tittle fall from the law [than one tittle fall of the law]. | 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. |
18 Every man that forsaketh his wife, and weddeth another, doeth lechery [doeth adultery]; and he that weddeth the wife forsaken of the husband, doeth adultery. | 18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. |
19 There was a rich man [Some man was rich], and was clothed in purple, and white silk, and ate every day shiningly. | 19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. |
20 And there was a beggar [And there was some beggar], Lazarus by name, that lay at his gate full of boils, | 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores |
21 and coveted to be fulfilled of the crumbs [+coveting to be fulfilled with the crumbs/coveting to be filled of the crumbs], that fell down from the rich man's board, and no man gave to him; but [and] hounds came, and licked his boils. | 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. |
22 And it was done, that the beggar died, and was borne of angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man was dead also, and was buried in hell. | 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. |
23 And he raised up his eyes, when he was in torments, and saw Abraham afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. | 23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. |
24 And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he dip the end of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. | 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' |
25 And Abraham said to him, Son, have mind, for thou hast received good things in thy life, and Lazarus also evil things; but he is now comforted, and thou art tormented. | 25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. |
26 And in all these things a great dark place is stablished betwixt us and you; that they that will from hence pass to you, be not able [+And in all these things a great dark place, either depth, is stablished between us and you; that they that will from hence pass to you, may not], neither from thence pass over hither. | 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' |
27 And he said, Then I pray thee, father, that thou send him into the house of my father. | 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, |
28 For I have five brethren, that he witness to them, lest also they come into this place of torments. | 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' |
29 And Abraham said to him [And Abraham saith to him], They have Moses and the prophets; hear they them. | 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' |
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if any of dead men [shall] go to them, they shall do penance. | 30 " 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' |
31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither if any of dead men [shall] rise again, they shall believe to him. | 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' " |

point !
all come to a stage in life when we are so 'Okay' about
everything that we have or that we are; we just accept it as a part
of ourselves or our identity or some looser call it Luck. I was also
at a stage when I accepted myself among some of the overweight people
that I knew. I kind of adjusted myself with the tag as 'Moti'(Fatso)
or as someone who will look for clothes with only size 'L' or even
'XL' in certain brands. People who know me might say that I wasn't
that big, Yes I wasn't so obese but yes for someone who was a Ms
popular in high school, it was a BIG thing !
used to watch Biggest looser and 'read' fitness magazines (Of course
while enjoying my big bowl of ice cream!) and would think that from
tomorrow onwards (...And tomorrow never comes..!) I will start
working hard on losing weight. My partner used to sometimes yell at
me as I had the mastery of being able to finish 1ltr family pack of
ice cream in just 1 day, I could even finish a big box of Ferrero
Rocher in one go.. yes that was me! Well I still love chocolates, ice
creams, cookies and all those unhealthy yet tasty items however, I am
at a stage in life when I love myself more than them.
never used to weigh myself because I knew that I was overweight, so I
just didn't want to know how much overweight I am. It was confronting
and I just didn't want to face that. But there was a time when my
partner convinced me to weigh myself and that was the TURNING POINT
of my life, that was an eye opener... I always knew that I was
somewhere in 60kgs but out of my surprise this time I had crossed
70kgs !!! I was 73.5kilos !!! At the age of 27 (Height 155cm), no
kids yet, no other health issues and I was freaking 73.5Kgs..! and I
asked myself that this is when I haven't even started a family yet..
where will my weight reach when I will have a baby..80kg+? 90kg+ or I
will also reach to a stage in life when I wont be bothered and wont
even realise when I will be 100kg+?.. Will I even be able to have a
baby with this kind of a lifestyle? And if so, what kind of example I
will set in front of my kids? Will I be able to play with them or I
will just get tired and sit and watch them playing? That was an eye
opener, a turning point in my life when I thought that its high time
I have to do something.
thing was Eating healthy.. I will be honest with you, it was not easy
AT ALL, it was the toughest part when I had just started my journey
and didn't even know if I will be able to achieve what I want or will
I just give up midway like a looser but all I knew at that time was
that I MUST eat healthy. Being away from your favourite food item is
anyway hard for all of us, that too when you work in a shopping
centre which is full of food options around, you see people partying
and having all trash of the world throwing in their mouths and you
just walk to Coles (A Supermarket) and grab yourself some salad or
just a few cucumbers and tomatoes. At times I didn't want to do it
but it wasn't a question if I want to or I don't want to it was more
like I HAVE TO and I OUGHT TO … I didn't consume any carbs post
6:00PM sometimes the only thing I will eat post 6 was cucumbers or
right for a few weeks started showing the results, I lost about 3-4
kilos which was an achievement for me at that stage especially
because dropping 3 kilos brought me into < Under 70Kgs category
:-)) I was 69.4Kilos so I wasn't that far from reaching 70kgs again.
Just a McDonalds and here you go! OR may be Pizzahut or may be a
Large subway with a pack of cookies.. oh the options were never less
even then! Well I was allowed to eat whatever I want once a week
which was Saturday – that day I could have ice creams, drinks,
pizzas, pastas, whatever I like but of course, in limits... as I
didn't want to ruin my entire week's hard work in just one day and go
back to where I started from. After continuing this for a few more
weeks I noticed that my weight was reducing but my body was loosing
its shape too, my skin was becoming wobbly around the triceps area
and I realised that I must start toning up my body otherwise my skin
will look like an old person's skin you know - loose and full of
wrinkles and stretch marks..!
the second step was to join the gym and start working out and getting
toned. So far, I hadn't said it to any of my friends or relatives.
Its not that I don't love them but lets accept the fact, when we
start a journey like this we all are a bit afraid of some "WHAT
IFS' like "What if I don't loose much weight?" , "What if they
make fun of me and take it as a joke?" , "What if they constantly
keep on asking me about any progress and of course it takes it own
time?" , "What if I just lose hopes and quit in between?". So
many "What if … and if.... and if..." that just would have made
me so conscious about this whole matter so I decided not to disclose
anything to anyone at this stage.
is something that motivate us in life. We all have that something in
life, its just a matter of being able to find that 'Something'. For
me Facebook was my motivation - Yes Facebook ! One might think that
how can Facebook motivate someone? Well being extremely active on
Facebook I had decided that I will change my profile picture ONLY
WHEN I have reached at least half way on my target. And what was my
target? Well my dietician said that as per my age and height if I
weigh between 49-60kgs that's perfect so my aim was to reach at least
55kgs, from 73 to 55..!!! (18Kilos) So I decided that I won't post
any photos on Facebook until I am 62Kgs. And after a few months' hard
work finally on 5th January 2014 I changed my profile
picture to this photo...
was so shocked & surprised to see this drastic change in me! I
received hundreds of likes and so many comments, people started
sending me private messages and calling me up just to know how did I
do it? Some wanted to know what workout I do at gym, some wanted to
know my diet chart, some wanted to know my entire day's schedule and
it was a great feeling! A huge appreciation from everyone around the
world that I knew and even some Facebook private messages from
strangers (My friends' friends) Who wanted to know how did I do it?
Such an overwhelming response motivated me more to go ahead in this
journey. Till now I was just by myself in this journey but now I had
so many friends, relatives and well-wishers with me. This is of
course going to help me even more to reach my goal – my goal of
being 55kg or even less.
you are more than half way of your journey you sometimes face plateau
mode and that's the same condition I am facing at this stage :-/ My
weight has been steady at one point for almost last 3 weeks and I am
thinking what else I can do in order to change my routine and give
more challenges to my body so that I can lose more weight and can
reach my goal ASAP. :-)
of now I weigh 60.4Kgs just 400 gms more to lose and I will fall in
technically called 'Normal' weight as per my body and age. There is
no way I can go back after coming this close to my aim. I know it's
really hard to overcome the plateau mode so I am planning for Kick
boxing or pilate classes. Planning to do something intense that my
body has never done before so that I can burn lots of calories with
that. I am not going to leave this journey until I reach my
destination. Even after I reach my goal I am going to try and make
sure that I maintain it. Its a great feeling to be fit, healthy and
energetic. I feel a lot happier and confident now about myself, about
my body, everything and I absolutely love it!
was my workout journey's story, what's yours?
you already reach to your goal? Wow ! How was the experience?
you still need to start the journey? Go for it ! Its THE time to
start. If I can do it, you can do it too! It may seem to be hard at
first but trust me, once you start seeing the results on the weighing
scale then sky is the limit. This feeling is way better than
anything, even a handful of chocolates ! :-D
this stage, I would like to say a very BIG THANK YOU to all of you
for you constant likes, comments, sharing thoughts, ideas,
motivational images and quotes or just hitting a 'Like' button with
my every workout post/pictures. I strongly believe that I wouldn't
have been able to achieve it without the constant support and
motivation from all of you. You might not even know but your every
like, every comment, every message has helped me every single day to
go closer to my goal so, thanks a lot.
Those who don't know me
in person yet read my blog, thank you for reading my blog and being a
part of my journey. I wish you a very happy and healthy life.

Here is me as Meg Fright of the imaginary rock and roll zombie combo (zombo) the Fright Stripes, based of course on the real life rock and roll combo the White Stripes. The hubbs doesn't like to be pictured on this blog, but he was Jack Fright. (I don't think Meg Fright's drum technique would be much different from Meg White's, by the way.)
So of course we went to New Orleans, which is one of the best places on Earth to celebrate Halloween. I want to say it's The best, but more on that in a moment.
First we went to catch the end of Saturday's Voodoo Fest, including Jane's Addiction and KISS.
Jane's Addiction was pretty great. When they played "Stop," I remembered how much it grabbed me when it was new. It was so different from everything else, and the crowd was going wild in the video. That said, it comes nowhere near grabbing me now like it did then. But that's the case for pretty much every song I've heard a million times. I guess I over-listened to those Jane's albums, because I can't hear them the same way anymore. That's sad. But there's an infinite amount of music I've never heard still out there. That's why I don't get how people can listen to classic rock radio all the time. It's the same songs! You're making them inaudible by so many listens.
So this was the onstage pile-on during "Jane Says." Sounds corny, but it was the highlight. Well, other than wondering what the flamboyant Mr. Perry Farrel was high on besides the wine he was drinking on stage. So on stage, you had Perry Farrell in his glittery purple superhero costume ("Tonight, New Orleans, I am a suuuperheeerooooo!") (And is he one of the only rock performers to still have costumes custom made for him? ), singing with an arm slung around, say, Fidel Castro, or slutty Rainbow Brite, or a bear, or what have you. Good times. I love the juxtaposition of people in unrelated costumes hanging out.
Then came KISS. Myself, former co-blogger at Scanner Brian, and the hubbs felt that it better open up with explosions. In fact, wouldnt' it be awesome if Gene just started it up while Jane's was still playing, during "Jane Says" with a big explosion? The crowd agreed. Before KISS started, people were calling out for explosions, or simply "FIRE!" Wouldn't it be perfect to see KISS on Halloween? Not really, as it turns out. They don't do it for me. We left before it was over, which I love doing. I hate long rock shows.
Finally, to Frenchman's street for Halloween! It was much more crowded than I remember it being last year. Frenchman's street was almost impassable, like Mardi Gras. We quickly moved a few blocks to less crowded digs. So that's the one way New Orleans was not the best ever this year. Still, I highly recommend doing this if you love Halloween.
Some characters: the Zach Galifinakis role from The Hangover. I asked where his man bag was, though, and he didn't have it. That's like 1/3 of the costume missing!
This guy, below. A little eagle, some Native American business, but dead style eyes. What was he? I'm guessing...the dead American dream?
As for common costumes, I'm astounded to say that the most common costume I saw was not Jon & Kate, Balloon Boy, Michael Jackson*, or Lady Gaga, but the Mario Brothers. Here's an example below of Mario, his princess, and...their cow.
*Speaking of Michael Jackson, I only saw two, or maybe it was the same one. But he was quite fond of my husband, and sort of caressed his arm as we passed by. It might have been the real Michael Jackson.
And now, here is what I just love about New Orleans.
This mini parade came through, with all sorts of bloody freaks, a fairy tale lady, a bloody clown, etc. It was presided over by what looked like a
benevolent blue dancing mouse. Except when they got closer, it seemed the mouse
was holding up a real pig head.
You can see the pig head a bit in this one. I love the mini parades. One minute it's not there, the next, you do a little dance and your day has been brightened(/ disturbed, if it includes dead animal heads), then, gone.
Here is Classic Batman entreating a box of wine for some wine out of his bag. Mr. Box of Wine did have an actual dispenser spigot going, but had to take off his costume & get the bag out.
Annnnd, the last photo of the night, which about encapsulates that time.

There were mixed reactions from a section of the general public to the Odel jeans newspaper advertisement depicting two women holding hands in a compromising position giving a lesbian slant to the whole thing. While some felt it was harmless and just depicting a posture of two women as friends and not as lesbians, some felt it was provocative.
Ivo Keerthipala, a businessman cum rugby football sports director was of the strong view that any social tool that promotes blatantly or insidiously to influence society in a manner to engineer its own downfall isn't acceptable. And that today, society was being driven to destroying the very fabric of human civilization.
"Today, everybody seems to be bending backwards to be politically correct and to be so means to be saying yes to everything. This advertisement of two women in a rather suggestively compromising position tends to destroy the very foundation of human civilization. It isn't a question of sexual preferences, but the question is if one promotes the abnormal as normal and normal behavior seems to be getting marginalized it goes against all norms of decency. And it seems kids growing up today reflect the same confusion that the society we live in promotes," opined Keerthipala.
He also stated that in an age when there seems to be hardly any real role models for boys or girls, female heroines have taken over the roles of ex male heroes with gun and sword in hand and the metro male seemed uncertain whether to wear the apron or the cape.
"But the bottom line in society is that we should have rules and values that protects its survival. And you don't have to be an Isaac Newton to work out that if women started living with women and men with men procreation will come to a halt and man too joining the endangered or extinct category will not be far off," he concluded.
However, Richard de Soysa, a businessman and ex-rallying champion who edits the 'Asia Digest' bimonthly publication was of the opinion that 'the advertisement is a very bold step in the Sri Lankan advertisement field.
"I believe it's the entrepreneur Otara Gunawardena who would have wanted the advertisement. It is the type given the culture we are used to which is permissible. In society these things should be allowed. I have no issue with that type because the two women are not exposing anything. In fact it has a touch of class," de Soysa said.
V. De Silva, an events management executive while observing that it was harmless, said, "When two men are portrayed in a position or pose such as this advertisement, it surely raises an eye brow because it could immediately come across as a 'gay pose'. An individual's sexual orientation, whether gay or lesbian is that person's choice and he or she should have the freedom to be who they are and not try to adjust, just to fit into social demands and expectations. However, we have to be sensitive to our cultural values and beliefs when expressing our creativity in advertising. In this particular ODEL advertisement I don't see the two women expressing themselves as lesbians. While the words 'perfect pair' may arouse curiosity, I see it perfectly natural for two women to pose in a position like this. Unlike men, women hug, warmly embrace and even hold hands with each other in public, and these are natural feminine expressions."
Meanwhile, a leading Colombo beauty parlor woman proprietor, who preferred to stay anonymous because her comment could affect her business, was firm that the advertisement was in bad taste and not a healthy thing for today's growing young generation.
"I feel it is very bad. Seeing it I felt so upset that it would influence today's growing young generation on a new culture that goes totally against all cultural norms by diluting their minds," she said.

For those of you with cork flooring, did you install it under the appliances and cabinets or did you put another type of flooring under these? It seems like it would be better to put a less compressible material under the appliances and cabinets. |

I've been researching that trying to get my reno timeline down. I've read in some install materials, when it's mentioned at all, to put glue down cork under cabinets and appliances. Our Cabinet guy agrees. The compression from weight that well distributed shouldn't make a difference. If its floating, I've read not to put it under cabinets as they pinch the flooring so it doesn't float right in that area. I guess at affects the expansion of the floor. Didnt pay too much attention as we are using glue down. I'm open to more info though, still got almost 4 months... |
williamsem is correct, it depends on the type of cork flooring being used. No floating floor should ever be installed under the cabinets or island. |
@Dekeobe - please expand this lesson: why should floating floor not be installed under cabinets? Glue and nail are okay but not floating - is that correct? Can you glue under the cabs and then install the remainder of the room as a floating floor? I've read so many answers to this question with differing opinions but no real explanation. Thanks so much. |
Floating floors should not go under cabinets, there needs to be a small gap which is hidden by molding. There is no functional reason to put ANY finished floor under perimeter cabs other than making the flooring install easier or allowing a change to footprint.makes changing the flooring harder too. |
I can understand why floating floors shouldn't go under cabinets but I have read many-many times that all "fixed" floors should (e.g., it'd be impossible to match the floor should one change the cabinet footprint, etc.). I have just read "Kelly's kitchen sync" and she strongly advises to tile under the appliances. The main reason is that the floor is likely to get damaged if the appliance needs to be taken out (for repair or replacement). I am afraid cork is too "soft" to be put under something as heavy as refrigerator. My question is what to use instead. I don't like the idea of plywood under anything that may drip water. What else? Thanks! |
I have been wondering about this also; more particularly about how I would pull my free standing stove and refrig out for periodic cleaning under and behind without damaging the cork. My floor guy has also said that the cork would not go under the cabs, just would butt up to them, but would be under the stove and fridge. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to put some kind of smooth hard surface, level with the cork, and use a little piece of vinyl over the cork when sliding the appliances out |
Other experts, Could you chime in? Please? |

When the previous owner had new tiles floors put in the kitchen, it went up to the cabinets. Guess what, a week after closing the DW started leaking so we bought a new one. Great, until we went to pull the old one out. We literally had to loosen the countertop, remove the tiles in front of the dishwasher in order to have enough room to pull it out. What should have been relatively easy turned into a 5 hour job trying to carefully remove and not break tile. We did it but very frustrating. I am tall, and I definately notice that my counters feel "short" to me. I know it isn't by alot but it is about 3/4 of an inch (they put a subfloor over the original boards, then tile). We are going to redo the kitchen when we have time, hopefully this summer, and I am going to put flooring or at least new subfloor under the cabinets so they are level to the rest. I will put flooring under the fridge and other things that get pulled out. We are planning to either do tile or hardwood, probably wood. |

I have read/been told a few times the glue down cork should go under cabinets. I also asked a little bit back about this I think in the flooring forum. The weight distributed over the cabinet area should not cause enough deflection in the cork to be concerned about. If I've been misinformed, PLEASE let me know, I need to order next month! |
