ACKS Domains at War: The Complete Set
John-Matthew D.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 07/17/2014 14:48:09
Autarch has created a lens with D@W. This finely crafted piece allows you to view mass combat within your game. It is up to you to focus the lens, choosing when to pull back and see the whole of a war campaign and when to zoom into a single battle. The rules of D@W work seamlessly, allowing a group to flow back and forth between both rule sets as the story of the game and their interest demands.
While you can buy the D@W books separately, if you have even the slightest interest in Battles, I would highly recommend buying the Complete Set. This set comes with Campaigns, Battles, the battlemap PDF (which I printed out and looks gorgeous), and a token set.

ACKS Domains at War - Campaigns
John-Matthew D.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 07/10/2014 12:24:28
There is a lot crammed into the 105 pages of this PDF. D@W: Campaigns is a great supplement for people who want mass combat added into their game but still want it abstracted into in an evening of play.
ACKS books are well thought out, and there is a high level of interplay between all the moving pieces of the rules. D@W is no different. So much of the structure of D@W ties back into the ACKS rules about economics and domains. So when you get this, I would advise reading through it at least twice. Once to get a wide view of the Campaigns system and a second to dig deeply into each section. D@W provides cross-references to the other ACKS books where they apply, which is very helpful.
If you are looking for a rule set for a d20 game that abstracts mass combat in a fun, simple way, while still providing players influential choices, check out D@W. I wrote an in-depth review of Campaigns at: http://originsofadarkgod.wordpress.com/2014/07/10/domains-at-

Anyone familiar with original D&D or any of its more recent clones will naturally know the gist of the system from the start, there are a few surprises within this tome however. It uses an ascending AC system that is a little different than usual. Proficiencies offer a grab bag of skill and feat like abilities that don't weight the game down (plus they are optional). There is a hard cap on character level at 14. Demi-human classes may have a lower cap, but it is less of a handicap when its only a handful of levels at most. High level play is VERY much meant to be about lords and their domains, of which every class has its own unique take.
If I were to ask for more out of ACKS it would be that it included an example domain to get you playing as soon as possible. That and maybe a little dungeon module.
All in all, if you enjoy OSR style gaming there isn't any reason not to give ACKS a look over for ten bucks. If you like enjoy it, the pdf has a coupon for those ten bucks off of the hard back if you just have to have it in good old dead tree. I'm definitely considering it myself.

Captures the feeling of earlier games and presents it well for a modern audience. Well-written, nicely laid out, and with artwork perfect for the tone. Highly recommended.

Really well thought out, internally consistent. Brings an element of realism and verisimilitude that's lacking in some of the other more fantastical settings. I like it.

I mainly bought this to supplement my rules for random war results, and it was useful for that application. I would like to try to play it as a system in itself, but I will have to make rules for acquiring soldiers before that can happen.

A friend of mine and I were discussing a campaign idea using large scale armies days before this popped up on DriveThru, so when I saw what it was I figured it was probably along the lines of what I was looking for. It looks like it will make for a great system for full army warfare.

An excellent introduction to mass combat battles. Clear, understandable, and usable, even to someone who hasn't done much miniature wargaming, like me. Its baseline uses the Adventurer Conqueror King system, but it can be used by almost any OSR or d20 system that wants to incorporate mass combat into their campaigns. The starter edition makes me look forward to the full Domains at War product, which is due to be released sometime later this year.

ACKS Player's Companion
Timothy B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/07/2013 07:24:10
So the long awaited Adventurer Conqueror King System Player's Companion is now out in PDF. I don't know know if it is out in stores yet at all or if people that supported it on Kickstarter have their physical copies, but it is up on here on DriveThruRPG.
Now full disclosure time. I did provide some support for the witch class. I was able to look at an early copy of the witch and provide some feedback since it had been based on some work I had done for d20. I shared a copy of my spells research notes and some material that would be part of my own Witch Book.
Neither group was looking for cross-compatibility except int he broadest terms. We did though develop from similar source materials and there is a bit of cohesion between the two classes. To be clear though, I didn't actually write anything for this. The authors had their ideas in a pretty solid form when they talked to me.
That being said let me proceed. ACKS Player's Companion reads like an "Unearthed Arcana" or even a Player's Handbook 2 for the ACKS set. In many ways it is very similar to the Complete B/X Adventurer that came out last year.
There are a number of authors that were brought to together to author the various sections. Sometime you can tell, other times not. This is not a big deal to me except for maybe there are some redundancies in various classes.
Chapter 2 covers all the new classes. We get: Anti-Paladin, Barbarian, Dwarven Delver, Dwarven Fury, Dwarven Machinist, Elven Courtier, Elven Enchanter, Elven Ranger, Gnomish Trickster, Mystic, Nobiran Wonderworker, Paladin, Priestess, Shaman, Thrassian Gladiator, Venturer, Warlock, Witch, and Zaharan Ruinguard. Not a bad list at all. That takes up about 44 pages of the book's 160.
The classes vary a bit. I liked most of them to be honest. The new feature of ACK:PC are the templates (Chapter 3), so all the new classes also have these templates. They define starting proficiencies and equipment.
At first I expected to hate the new racial classes but they provide a nice bit of background that goes beyond just crunch and fluff. In particular the Elven Enchanter and Elven Ranger add something interesting to the game. Sure, you could do this in AD&D in 1978, but here it has a bit of different feel. In fact I reminded of the old Dragon article back in the mid 80s about the Elven Cavalier. Sure it was something you could do on your own, but the article and this book give you something a bit more. The Gnomish Trickster could be reskinned if you are like me and miss the Halflings. The Mystic is a suitable Monk replacement in the vein of the old D&D Rules Cyclopedia. There are few ACKS unique race-classes too. We also get a Priestess, Warlock and Witch. Those I'll deal with later.
Chapter 3 introduces Templates. These are part role-playing tips and part mechanical. If you remember the old 2nd Ed Kits these remind me of those, or the Backgrounds in newer games. Several are presented for all classes, new and old. Each character gets Proficiencies and Starting Equipment. It's a really fun idea.
Chapter 4 is an interesting one. It is a custom class creation tool. I have not seen how it compares with similar systems I have seen on the net or in Dragon. I know that the classes in this book were "Verified" with it, so it at least has ACKS internal consistency.
Chapter 5 is Spells. There is a section on magic experimentation and mishaps. Really fun stuff to be honest. Also a section on creating new spells. This is from the same school of thought on the Class Creation. in theory you should be able to check on any spell in the book and get the same numbers.
This followed by the Spell lists. Spells are listed by type and level then the descriptions are alphabetical by name. There is about 38 pages of spells here.
Chapter 6 covers Supplemental Rules. Things like Aging and various equipment.
There is a hyperlinked index and two more for spells and powers.
Utility for other Old School Games
Well the classes can be ported over outright for the most part. The Proficiencies and Templates are a nice addition to any game even if you ignore the mechanics and use them only as role-playing guides.
I am not sure if the Class Creation guidelines will work outside of ACKS or not. My feeling is that they will with some tweaking. Same with the Spells sections. Chapter 6 should be fine for any game.
Witches, Warlocks & Priestesses
The witch is why I picked this book up. The other classes (like the Anti-Paladin and Paladin) also deserve a lot of attention, but the witch is what I am most interested in.
There are three (four if we throw in the shaman, or even five if we count the Elven Enchanter) classes that fit the witch archetype. The Priestess is a female cleric dedicated to what we normally call Mystery Religions. They honor a Goddess for example. Now in other games this would just be another type of cleric, or a cleric with role-playing notes. To me it actually seems weaker than the regular cleric. The Warlock is stereotypical "Evil" warlock and that works well here really. But the real utility for me is when you compare the Warlock to the Witch.
The Warlock is an arcane caster and the Witch is a divine one. So depending on what sort of archetype you want to build you can choose a witch or a warlock. This is a dichotomy that I have also used in the past and it works out well. You can even rule in your games that witches and warlocks were once one class that split or two classes with similar methods or not even related at all.
Witches are most similar to my own. Witches in ACKS:PC also have Traditions. The Traditions here are Antiquarian (a classic witch), Chthonic (dedicated to dark gods), Sylvan (woodland and faerie) and Voudon (voodoo or even Shaman-like). You can adapt these traditions to work with my book or my trads to work with ACKS. I should post a conversion guide between the traditions sometime.
Spells of course a completely cross compatible.
The Book Itself
The layout is top notch and this is a good looking book. It will be attractive as all heck in dead tree format, but the PDF is no lesser product. The index is hyperlinked to pages and it is fully bookmarked.
The art is great and I especially enjoyed the "character" art of Chapter 2. The art changes by Chapter 5 to some commercially available art, which is not a bad thing, but the style is different for the later half of the book.
Who Should Buy this Book?
For the first audience, players and game masters of ACKS, this is a no-brainer, you should get this. There is enough here to make this purchase worthwhile even if you only use parts of it.
If you are a fan of B/X clones and top your games off at level 14 then this is also a good buy. Also the class creation and spell creation engines are worth the price if you like to experiment with your games.
If you play other retro-clones or other versions of the Grand Old Game, then there are still some things here you will find useful.
At 10 bucks for the PDF this is a pretty good deal.
I have more detail on this book at my blog as well.

I really loved this game,
He's part of the reason i turned an OSR game now. Maybe the system is not revolutionnary but it's easy to grasp with few interesting things, like the way the proficiencies are working, that add a lot to the game.
It's really oriented to the later part of the game, with high level character being lords of a domain and a really good economic building system.
I think it's a very good retroclone game that worth the try

Well put together and designed, but I still have and use all my first edition AD&D books, so there was really nothing new or revolutionary about this game system. Basically, it's more accessible than the original books, which is good, but if you are already playing AD&D (1e) or a clone that you are happy with then this is not a must buy. However, it's well written and there are some good charts and stuff in the back for the 'late game' when the characters are no longer your typical adventurers looking to make it big. I think my disappointment is because of all the great things I've heard about this system said stuff like "I'll never go back to any other system!" and "It's what RPGs were always meant to be!" and when looking through it there was nothing new to me.

Adventurer Conqueror King System or ACKS as it's becoming known is one of those pleasant surprises you always hope for when you download a PDF, (in particular a new ruleset) from RPGNow. The key to this system is present in it's title. The design is such that you begin your characters life as a budding Adventurer, seeking fame, fortune and the like. As you gain those, you graduate on to what might be called a conqueror as you begin to tame and settle borderlands or even conquer existing domains. This leads to a growth phase where much of the game revolves (or rather, CAN revolve) around building a mighty kingdom.
But what does all this mean? Well, to put it simply, Alex Macris and crew have done a wonderful job of adapting Labyrinth Lord to a game where dungeon craws slowly get replaced with something of a SimCity/Civilization ruleset. And, to my pleasant surprise, it seems to work really well.
The game has support for 14 levels and honestly I'd say that's all you need. It has about a dozen classes, include the 4 core classes and some interesting non-core. Most align nicely with what you'd expect but a couple are interesting takes on iconic fantasy archetypes. For example, the Blade Dancer, a female human cleric type class has a lot of interesting potential. Yes, I did say that correctly. Race, (in this case, human) and even gender can be tied to class. This means a bit of class bloat potential (elven cleric/dwarven cleric/human cleric/being 3 classes etc) but it also means that they can have a singularly simple and elegant proficiency system that allows each class to customize their character. The foundation of this is having 2 proficiency pools. You get a class pool of proficiencies (skills and feats) and a general pool. There is a lot of overlap between the two. So lets say you want to play a fighter who also likes to perform. Rather than being forced to play a Bard, you can take the Perform proficiency because it exists in both the Bard class proficiency pool as well as the General Proficiency pool. You get to choose several proficiencies, some from each pool at various points in your career. This allows you to double down on your class by taking class proficiencies, even from the General pool or to be a jack of all trades by taking as many non-class proficiencies as your heart desires.
Summary: If you want to start slowly with a serious world building ruleset where total domination is the ultimate goal, this is the place to do it. You'll get 5-8 levels of more or less comfortable Labyrinth Lord style gameplay (including VERY simply conversion of LL modules and content) and then move into the medieval equivalent of Civilization the RPG at your own pace, or not at all if the LL spin off seem appropriate. The really nice part is that the end game varies greatly based on class. If you are a fighter type, you'll want to start a domain and take over towns and cities and tax the goods traded within your borders. If you're a cleric type, you'll want to start a church and build a massive congregation which will grant you increasing power from your deity. If you're an Explorer (think: Ranger) you'll want to build a Wilderness Outpost and tame the borderlands to increase the size of a Kingdom. Elves build Fastnesses, Dwarves - Vaults, Thieves and Assassins - Hideouts and Guilds. The potential here is immense. I can only imagine the bedlam that might ensue as a Cleric starts trying to build a church in the same town where an Assassin is attempting to build his hideout. The opportunity for epic gamesmanship unlike we're used to in typical fantasy RPGs is staggering.
They're currently developing an Advanced Compendium (as of 5/4/12). It looks to include quite a few new classes and a couple of new races along with over 100 new templates, which is the ACKS way of delivering rapid character design and customization. Want your Fighter to be like Lancelot? There's probably a template for that. It will auto-assign the proficiencies so that you get the feel without having to read every single one and compare them. BUT if you're a munchkin who just loves doing that, the system supports you nicely as well.
My hat is off to Alex, Greg and Tavis.
Also of note: After ordering the PDF, I decided to grab a hardcopy as well. There is a discount on the hardcopy with a coupon code found in the PDF, making the PDF essentially FREE! That's a great deal right there. Lastly, the forums, while not overly abundant with traffic, are quite friendly and the principals frequent them almost daily so if you are one who likes to engage directly with the designers, this system is perfect for you.

I bought AKCS mostly out of curiosity. It's before all an "OSR" game (i.e. old school renaissance rpg), a simulacrum of the basic/classic older D&D rpg. Where Labyrinth Lord is a "clone" intent on reproducing basic old D&D faithfully, AKCS is a simulacrum, meaning it's that old game but with more modern, streamlined game mechanics, and differences.
The main difference is that AKCS uses the same mechanic as saving throws for combat and skill checks (and others things). I must say it works very well, and is a welcome simplification. That is, for each class level there is a target number that a character must equal or exceed with a d20 roll (to which he adds his bonuses and the target's ascending AC) to hit his opponent. I like this very much.
There is 12 classes, including of course the core Fighter, Thief, Mage and Cleric. Elves and dwarves get two classes each. Well, I am a little dubious about the dwarf classes, that provide even less abilities than they did in the original D&D, and are thus very much alike a Fighter and Cleric. There is also 4 variant classes derived from the core: Assassin, Bard, Bladedancer and Explorer. Here also, these classes are rather bland. Bladedancer for example is very much a cleric with little difference. Explorer replaces the Halfling class from BD&D. However, the good point is that classes can be customized with adding proficiencies, that are derived from 2e NWP and 3e Feats.
Then, unlike all the clones and simulacrums I have read before, AKCS provide extensive rules for castle and dominion management, ritual magic, and much more. All these pages are really a good addition that will be useful to players and GMs IMO. I won't detail them here, since I only flipped through these pages so far, but I am glad to see them included.
Lastly about art: it must be noted that AKCS is lavishly illustrated, which enliven the whole work and makes it pleasant to read.
If I were to run or play in a Classic-Basic D&D game, AKCS is the iteration I would want to use without a doubt.

Tiny Elio Car Is Affordable and Street Legal
Buying a new car in this economy is tough. It shouldn't be like buying a house. Well, there is an answer. Assuming you don't need to transport passengers or significant cargo, your next car doesn't have to break the bank thanks to Elio Motors, who wants to revolutionize the auto industry with its tiny new three-wheeled car.
This unusual looking single-seat car gets an amazing 84 MPG on the highway, 49 MPG in the city, and travels at speeds up to 100 MPH. This car consumes just 1/3 of the gas that the average car does. The price? $6,800(USD). You can't beat that.
Bonus: It is even made in the USA. The company estimates that they will create 1,500 jobs at their Shreveport, LA plant alone beginning in 2014. Let's hope that automotive lobbyists and the government don't kill the company before they can put a whole bunch on the road.
Hopefully they can impact the auto industry and provide people with affordable cars for many years. This is a company to watch closely.

Its a two seater..tandem seating.
What will be the cost of an automatic transmission?, and upon order do you get choice of colors? Does it have a spare tire?
Right Joe, 2 seats, in tandem configuration. I've been in it.. lots of room and even more in the back. It is also not tiny. It is spacious inside and the overall length is like most sedans on the road (think BMW3, Camry etc) and the front wheels are as wide as those vehicles as well. New website is up (meh overall, the other one was better) but has good information in it.
This article should be corrected. It is not a single-seater as already pointed out. The reason I am piling on is that Elio is busting there butts to get this done at an amazing price point. For $6800, you can carry around two people, which is twice as many as you see in most cars on the road.

Do you have an absolute favorite lipstick? Have you tried Everyday Minerals?
You left out Arbonne! All products are certified vegan and their lip glosses aren't sticky since they have no mineral oil or any petroleum ingredients in them! Safe and vegan
I am a vegan myself and always hunting for good vegan lipsticks. Great post.
Found this brand on etsy called mia & lillie. Really affordable but good quality. They have a website too!
OMG – I want those Lime Crime lipsticks just for the packaging!
I love 100% Pure lip glaze. Not all of 100% Pure's cosmetics are vegan, but the lip glazes are. They have a very pretty bubble gum pink shade called peach bellini that I adore.
Hey I went and checked out elfs website. There is no indication that they are vegan? Are there certain products from then only that are vegan?
hello. lime crime lipsticks are not vegan.. they contain bees wax.
What about lip stains? I love the look of a pink matte lip stain without any gloss or shine. Any suggestions?
I've been loving Silk Naturals lippies! Some are vegan, natural and very affordable. They have amazing colors. http://host.silknaturals.com/creb/sticks-organic-vegan-c-163_143.html
Love you blog btw!
Have you seen the new Urban Decay lipsticks? They're all vegan except for two. Great color selection, too. I tried one out in the store yesterday and loved it. Anyway, thanks for the list! They all look like great brands. I want to try out Beauty Without Cruelty first!
I love the ELF lipsticks. I love everything from ELF!
emany mineral looks like they have great colors but elef is more affordable

I'm guessing it wont do the 1/4 in under 14 sec... |
I wonder what the turning radius is, and how ofter the center of the car bangs into the roadway? |
I'm guessing it wont do the 1/4 in under 14 sec... I think it covers the quarter-mile. That is one seriously-long vehicle. |
This isn't quite correct due to the angle but I measured the average height just ahead of the hatch as 1.25 inch from the top to the edge of the shadow. Then the nearside length as 5.5 inch. Assuming the car is 5.5 feet tall that proportions out to 25.3 feet overall with 20.9 foot wheelbase. The biggest problem with a long vehicle is right turns. You have to start in the right lane then swing your front to the left lane leaving your back end so it blocks following drivers from rushing in between you and the curb. If they do get in there you get the opportunity of pinching them against the curb at which point you merely stop and look at em till they back up. If there's 2 or 3 of em its even more fun. |
It looks the size of a normal limo to me. Do you think it's bigger? |
It's even more fun than that when there isn't a right or left lane and you have to worry about oncoming traffic! |
This must be a photo-shop job, and a good one at that..It appears to be so low that only midgets could enter and so long that the middle would sag to ground contact !! |
If it's a Photoshop job, he really carries the joke out pretty far. It appears this guy builds/rents/sells all kinds of snazzy luxury rides. very cool. |

Recently I was asked for some advice by someone looking to start thier first online business. This person reminded me a lot of myself, because I had no clue what I was doing when I first started online. In response, here are a few things that first come to mind.
You can start a successful online business without implementing SEO. Conversely, however, you're not going to be very successful online if all you're counting on is SEO. With that said, search engine optimizing a high-quality website can grow it tenfold.
SEO is still a relatively new practice; one that is constantly growing. So the way one professional defines search engine optimization can be completely different than the way someone else does.
Since I'm writing this post primarily for the typical newcomer, based on my experience, I'm going to assume most people outside of the industry think of SEO as the practice of getting their website top rankings in the search engines, and that's it. But to me, it is a lot more than that. I'll explain later. Considering the above definition though, SEO, without offering anything of value, is not enough to be successful online.
Here is a list of the mistakes I made with when I jumped into my first online endeavor:
You can still be successful with an affiliate website. However, you need to offer additional value, i.e., a lot of additional content people can use. Perhaps really good product reviews, how-to guides, or a glossary. I think you get the idea.
Today, I think of SEO quite differently than I did in the beginning; I worry about my search engine rankings as well as bounce rate, conversions, unique visitors, return visitors, natural links, popular content, user experience, subscriptions, new customers/clients and of course revenue and ROI. Just to name a few important KPIs.
Starting an online business takes a lot more than what I can explain in a single blog post. Just take your time, do your research, provide great value, and don't try to monetize too early.

nice info bro..actually i'm still learning SEO technique.In my opinion,comment method is one of good way to increase website traffic.What you opinion about it ?

Yeah, it helps. As long as you have something informative or opinionated to say.

"Tried this tonight, loved it. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and instead of using my oven I put the pan on our grill. It did take much longer than the 45 minutes in the recipe. I kept the grill at about 400 and it was done in a little over an hour. I also had baked potatoes and they were perfectly done alongside the chicken. Overall..."
"I just made this is it is really good! Even my 9 year old son likes it. I didn't have any instant potatoes, so obviously I didn't put it in. Even so, it's a great soup. Thanks for sharing!"
"This was fabulous! Easy to make too, I thought it was going to be more difficult but it was actually quite easy. The flavor was specatular. The cut of meat I had was a bit tough, lots of gristle, though no fault of the recipe. But the flavor was outstanding. Highly recommended, and much thanks!"
"Thanks Bazaar! These are the best meatballs. We loved them. I was a little apprehensive at first, with nutmeg and allspice, but these were fantastic. I didn't change a thing, made them per the recipe."
"Sauce was excellent, I only used one onion, instead of two. Very good flavor. One point - watch the thickness of your chops and the temp, mine were a little thicker and I guess my stove doesn't simmer slowly, my chops were done at 12 minutes. Doesn't affect my rating though, it's a very tasty recipe. Thanks Alan."
"This was very good, even my eight year old likes it. I did make some adjustments. I replaced 1 cup of the water with clam juice, then added about 1/2 a cup more so in total there was about 2 cups of clam juice. I also added about 1 tsp salt. All in all it was really very good this way. Thank you for posting such a great recipe."
"I love this recipe. The seasonings are perfect and the meat is tender and juicy and delicious. The only problem I have with the instructions is: with a crockpot you're going to get moisture, so there is no way to have a thick sauce, or the sauces thicken with adding four cups of broth in the first step. I'm going to try reducing the juices in ..."
"Moist, tender, delicious! What else needs to be said? We'll be making this on a regular basis for sure. House smelled heavenly all day. This only took 12 hours in my crockpot. If I left it on for 16-20 it probably would have been dry. But it's perfect! Thanks."

Bristol City boss Derek McInnes has revealed James Wilson could be set for a loan move away from Ashton Gate.
Wilson has found himself down the pecking order at City under McInnes and the 23-year-old was not even in the squad for the last game at Barnsley.
McInnes is willing to let Wilson go out on loan as he is looking to bring in another defender on a tempoary basis.
"I sat down and had a meeting with James a couple of weeks ago to let him know where he stood," McInnes told The Bristol Evening Post.
"He is a young player and I have told him he still figures in my plans, but he might need to go out on loan to get regular first-team football.
"I'm after another centre-half and, if that happens, then James going out on loan will become more of a possibility.
"But it will have to be to the right club and at the right time."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Midnite Momma!
Facts about Midnite Momma
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Midnite Momma's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Black cats are very cool cats, and that describes Midnight Mamma. She's very smart, very playful at about 3 years old - and quite affectionate. She is microchipped, and prepaid registration is included with the adoption donation.
Other Pets at The Little Cats' Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Midnite Momma, a Elfers Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Elfers, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Elfers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elfers already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elfers breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elfers paves the way for another one to be saved.

Grey's Anatomy: T.R. Knight Out, Katherine Heigl In
We have some good news and some bad news for Grey's Anatomy fans.
Well, depending on your perspective, it might be some bad news and some bad news.
E! Online reports that, after months of rumors and denials, T.R. Knight has officially confirmed that he won't be returning to the series next season.
"Leaving Grey's Anatomy was not an easy decision for me to make," Knight said in an official statement on Wednesday. "I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much. I continue to wish them the very best, and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm."
Show creator Shonda Rhimes followed up with her own statement that read, "I think I speak for the entire Grey's Anatomy family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors. He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us."
And now, the other news. Despite a contentious relationship with Grey's Anatomy—particularly with regard to the writers—Katherine Heigl will be returning to the show.
The show's writers and producers had left the fate of Heigl's character, Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, in the air by putting her under the knife for brain surgery after giving her stage 4 brain and liver cancer, but apparently she will live to see another season.
It's a television miracle!
Have your say in the comments section: Do you think these developments will improve or detract from the next season of Grey's Anatomy?

on January 16, 2013The video above recounts, in detail, how exactly the US government managed to spend $220,000 to redo a bathroom. A private bathroom, that clocks in at a whopping 100 square feet. (Which, actually, is pretty big for a private bathroom, but nowhere near big enough to justify that sort of cost.) Watch it, and marvel at the price tags. Then, consider how royally Uncle Sam screwed this one up. Not just because they overspent, though they clearly did. And not even because they installed a $3,500 Sub-Zero fridge, which... why the hell would you need a fridge in a bathroom? But because, even with a bill close to the quarter-million dollar mark, they didn't even spring for the cool stuff. Here are a few things they missed:

Home → Accountability & Improvement System → Steering & Work Groups → Steering Committee ? May 11, 2012 Summary
Steering Committee Meeting Summary - May 11, 2012
Present: Commissioner Bowen, Dale Douglass, Sandra MacArthur, Jill Adams, Rob Walker, Mark Kostin, Deb Friedman, Rachelle Tome, David Connerty-Marin, Jaci Holmes, Dan Hupp (by phone)
Role of the Steering Committee
Mark Kostin gave an overview of the role of the Steering Committee to coordinate the work of the working groups in developing an ESEA Waiver application and to think through the "big picture."
The Steering Committee also will help DOE ensure that stakeholders are engaged in developing the Waiver US DOE has made it clear that stakeholder involvement is a key element and was a clear focus in reviewing waiver applications from the first 11 states to apply. Mark outlined 3 categories of stakeholders: teachers and other professionals whose work is directly impacted by the accountability system; students and their representatives, including student subgroups such as students with disabilities, English language learners, economically disadvantaged students, minority students; and the general public.
Committee Procedures; Membership
The Committee agreed to the proposed Communication Norms, with the understanding that concerns that might be expressed over the advisability of a waiver are not considered bad faith in participation.
The Committee agreed to allow members to send substitutes if they are not able to make the meeting or to participate by phone, provided the member brings the substitute up-to-speed before the meeting and gets a briefing from the substitute after the meeting. Members also felt that this should be allowed for the working groups as well.
The question of how voting will be done in the Committee will be discussed at a future meeting.
Members were comfortable with keeping the Steering Committee a relatively small group, to serve as an effective advisory group to the Department. A broader stakeholder group will be involved in the working groups, which are more technical in nature, and the general public and all stakeholders will be involved in providing feedback to a draft framework, perhaps through a listening tour. Associations may be able to collect input through surveys or questionnaires to their listservs; DOE can do a public survey on its website. The Committee agreed that a member of the English Language Learner subgroup should be included on the Steering Committee, so that both student subgroups that have different testing systems (students with disabilities and ELL students) were represented on the Steering Committee; input from other student subgroups will be sought through the accountability system development process.
Background on Current Accountability System
Rachelle Tome explained the current NCLB accountability system and some of its challenges.
- The current system is a status system i.e., it shows achievement at a specific point in time; it does not show progress.
- There are 37 "cells" data points that are reviewed for AYP status failure in any one cell can result in failing AYP status, regardless of progress, or of success in other cells.
- AYP status is confusing for parents, who may not understand that a school has a problem in one area, but is otherwise a successful school.
- Current system creates bad incentives, e.g.
- Only schools that receive Title 1 funds are subject to sanctions this could give SAUs incentive not to send Title 1 funds to a particular school to avoid sanctions.
- Schools may be reluctant to move high-achieving students out of special education their achievement helps the special education subgroup achieve AYP status, but that's not fair to the student.
- Supplemental Educational Services (SES) must be provided in certain CIPS schools schools have no say in what services are provided (parents select) and students receive the services based on economic disadvantage status, not academic need.
- No help is provided for non-Title 1 schools.
Risks and Rationale for Creating a New System
While the current system is clearly flawed, members discussed the risks of creating a new system and the rationale for continuing the work despite the risks.
Developing a new system will take resources from DOE and local school systems, at a time when resources are stretched thin for all. There is a risk that US DOE will not approve a waiver application. It's also not clear when and how ESEA may be reauthorized and whether a system that we develop now will have to be changed in a few years in response to a new ESEA. According to one member, the waiver is only good for 4 years and can be revoked if a state does not make progress in reaching goals.
Commissioner Bowen responded that he believes that Maine should create a new accountability system (and a waiver application to authorize it), despite the risks noted above. There is benefit to having an accountability system that accurately identifies struggling schools and allows us to provide appropriate assistance to improve student achievement -- the current accountability system doesn't do that. A system that takes growth into account, as opposed to a status system, would provide a better measure of school needs. Regardless of the outcome of the Presidential Election, a new ESEA will probably be similar to the ESEA Waiver, or possibly more flexible than that, but not likely completely different. State accountability systems will also have an influence over reauthorization of ESEA.
Budgets; Growth Models
Members expressed concern over stretched school budgets. Rachelle mentioned that failing AYP status has financial implications for schools they are required to set aside certain amounts of funds for SES, which can be a burden and schools have no control over where that money goes. The parent decides what services to purchase, from a list of approved vendors provided by Maine DOE.
A question was asked about whether growth models are allowed in ESEA accountability systems. DOE staff responded yes. Members asked for more information about the DOE State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) and how that can be used for a growth model. There were also questions about how a growth model could be implemented when the state is changing tests from NECAP to SBAC.
Members discussed the timeline of the shift from NECAP to SBAC and asked for more information about the different testing options available under SBAC e.g. formative and summative uses and how this compares to NWEA in terms of cost. Members also expressed concern about the amount of class time devoted to testing.
Next Meeting; Information Requests
The next meeting of the Steering Committee was set for May 31st, after each of the workgroups has a first meeting. The Committee will be briefed on the workgroup meetings.
Members asked for additional information on the following:
- A single chart showing the timeline of implementation of a new accountability system, SBAC introduction, Common Core and other initiatives
- An overview of SBAC in particular, how it relates to a growth model, the different types of testing options, costs, comparison to NWEA, how you would do a growth model in the 1st year of SBAC
- Information about DOE data system capabilities
Meeting Summary prepared by Deb Friedman, DOE

''The Last Samurai'' is one of the 10 holiday movies we can't wait to see
WHY WE CAN'T WAIT Tom Cruise gets to wield a samurai sword in this period drama that's a little bit ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'' and a lot ''Gladiator.'' Training Cruise in swordsmanship was Nick Powell, who did the same on ''Gladiator,'' while screenwriter John Logan, who helped bring both popcorn-action heroics and awards-worthy epic sweep to ''Gladiator,'' cowrote ''Samurai.''
SOURCE MATERIAL The true story of 19th-century warrior Saigo Takamori, who was dubbed the last samurai
PLOT POINTS Set in 1870s Japan, ''Samurai'' is about an American Civil War vet (Cruise) who gets caught between the archaic samurai warriors and the modernizing emperor who wants to wipe them out, along with all traces of Japan's feudal past. Ed Zwick, helmer of thoughtful war dramas (''Glory,'' ''Courage Under Fire''), directs.
BURNING QUESTION Can ''Samurai'' make viewers forget Cruise's last 19th-century costume saga, 1992's soggy ''Far and Away''?
COME FOR Displays of samurai swordplay
STAY FOR Displays of samurai honor

[1151] Lower Uterine Segment Involvement in Low Grade Endometrioid Endometrial Adenocarcinoma: A Predictor of Disease Progression and Survival
Laleh Hakima, Lorna Ogden, Martin Feuerman, Christopher Bondoc, Jeannine Villella, Poonam Khullar. Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola
Background: The clinicopathologic significance of lower uterine segment involvement (LUSi) in management of patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma remains controversial. Although the presence of LUSi is not incorporated into the FIGO staging system as an independent criterion, recent studies have found significant associations with other FIGO prognostic factors. However, an association with adverse clinical outcomes has yet to be elucidated. We investigated the prognostic significance of LUSi in patients with low grade endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma, focusing on its association with staging criteria and clinical outcomes, specifically recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
Design: Surgical pathology archives of endometrial adenocarcinoma from 2004-2009 were reviewed. Of 417 patients, 294 met inclusion criteria and 130 were excluded due to high grade/aggressive histologic subtypes; synchronous gynecological carcinomas; neoadjuvant therapy. Prognostic data including tumor histology, myometrial invasion, LUSi, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), nodal metastasis, and FIGO stage were recorded. Fisher's exact, Chi-square, and rank-sum tests were used to evaluate the association of LUSi with other prognostic data. Kaplan Meier analysis was used to assess the relationship of LUSi with OS and RFS.
Results: LUSi was present in 95 patients (32.3%) with low grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. LUSi was associated with presence of LVI (p <0.0001), >50% myometrial invasion (p <0.0001), and grade 2 tumors (p =0.0056). There were 12 local recurrences and no disease-related deaths. Nine patients (10.23%) with LUSi had local recurrence compared with 3 patients (1.79%) without LUSi (p=0.004). RFS at 5 years was 69.5% for patients with LUSi compared with 98.9% for patients without LUSi (p=0.0022).
Conclusions: The presence of LUSi in patients with low grade endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma is associated with significantly decreased RFS and is significantly associated with lymphovascular invasion. Lower uterine segment involvement should be considered a poor prognostic indicator in operative management with regard to surgical staging and clinical treatment.

Can we get sleeves for these bigger cards FF? I need them for Infiltration and Elder sign. Thanks.
Card Sleeves
Posted 03 June 2012 - 04:20 PM
Posted 03 June 2012 - 04:53 PM
It certainly would be nice. Mayday Games has big sleeves for Dixit that fit the cards for Elder Sign and Infiltration, but they're pretty much penny sleeves and not worth it.
I did find a nice plastic case for the larger cards though. Target sells a pencil case for a buck that fits the larger cards nicely. So if nothing else, there's that.
I think we got this...
Posted 13 June 2012 - 11:00 AM
I'm ordering some of these for Elder Signs/Infiltration; http://www.ultrapro....products_id/347
A little bit of protection can go a long way, especially with the questionable table cleaning skills some gaming buddies/stores have
Plus they are clear on the back so I can still see the nice artwork, which is a big thing for me.

Kim Kardashian appeared on ABC sitcom "Last Man Standing" last night ... but the role wasn't much of a stretch.The reality TV star played herself on the show, where overzealous fan Mandy Baxter (played by series regular Molly Ephraim) trips on her during a book signing.Kim poked fun at herself during the episode, later visiting Mandy's house because her producers thought it would be a good idea for the reality show.Te show also referenced her failed marriage to Kris Humphries, with Mandy telling Kim "You don't understand what I've been though, I've been publicly humiliated, do you even know what that's like?"Kardashian actually did a pretty good job with the material, a good sign considering she'll also be acting in Tyler Perry's upcoming flick, "The Marriage Counselor."Check out more reality TV stars who have tried out acting in the gallery below:

Sounds like somebody jumped the shark! They must be awfully desperate at ABC. They just can't seem to admit that this show is an epic FAIL.
Almost: 1086 days ago
I love it!!!! Kimmy is really good.
DrkGntlman: 1086 days ago
This no talent troll should not be in any type of sitcoms. The only thing she is GOOD at is being fake and a wh0re.
Kim's acting is as fake as her assets. She can deny it all she wants, but she gets fat injections in her bottom and wears spanx/padding to enhance her booty. She has had face work as well as a boob job. There is nothing real about this camel riding hook3r.
maria: 1086 days ago
And the saga continues...now that her reality show is done ,well many of us don't care she is going to try to do anything,she will sale her soul to the DEVIL,with her pimp mama! we cannot get rid of this parasites they will be on our face for ever! not class not talent,not brains!
liz: 1086 days ago
uhhhh.. she's playing the same person she plays on all her reality tv shows. nothing impressive.
lady: 1085 days ago
I think she did great. Saw her as a guest host on Kelli live and enjoyed that also. Good for her to make her rounds with head held high. She is a beautiful lady.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tessa!
Facts about Tessa
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Tessa's Info...
Why Choose me?
Tessa is a darling girl. When I first met her, she was hiding in the back of her kennel and wasn't sure about all the noises of Animal Control. I had help getting her out, but once she was with me, I had a new friend. Tessa wanted to stay right beside me. She is a beauty with a gorgeous brindle coat and lovely amber colored eyes. Her ears are so cute. Tessa is sweet and liked being held. When Hobson, a friendly Pomeranian, passed the interaction pen, it was obvious that she wanted to play with him. She'd meet him at the fence but then quickly run back to me. She did that a few more times happily wagging her tail. Come play with Tessa today. As I passed her kennel later in the day, she was spending more time at her gate and seemed a little less frightened of her surroundings. If you don't see her, however, ask for help getting her out. She's a sweet girl and would love to be with you.
Act quickly to adopt Tessa. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Athens Clarke County Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tessa, a Athens Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Athens, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Athens.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Athens already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Athens breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Athens paves the way for another one to be saved.

Breakfast Topic: What do you think about the current Raid Finder loot rules? {WoW}
Feb 24th 2012 9:54AM Up until about 2 weeks ago i would have agreed with this, however loot issues are still on a rampage with Main tanks winning dps gear roles and taking the items away from those who really need it. I started to run raid finder last week and needed on everything, than located about 4 dps players inspected their gear said nothing to them and the on the DW loot rolls just opened trades with all 4 people handed them gear, thanked them for their effort and politely left.
Random acts of kindness and generosity is more what this game needs not policing rules that obviously dont apply.

Feb 21st 2012 10:38AM I doubt broxigar will be coming back he was impaled and killed by Sargeras, you have to delve into the Sundering novel for that tidbit. Korialstraz or Kraus has a good chance imo of coming back to the story. It doesnt say for sure hes dead in the books, its heavily implied and inferred that he dies in Thrall and the Twilight aspects during the destruction of the temple.
Breakfast Topic: Has the Raid Finder changed the way you raid? {WoW}
Jan 18th 2012 8:39AM killed it for the most part, its more of a disturbing chore, LFR is like running a raid in barrens chat. "Rampant moronic comments, political discussions on par with Jersey Shore, oh and racism" ....
"wait...how did the shammy die on trash he's wearing 397 gear refusing to rez, is afk, still manages to get to roll on gear, takes tier piece, miraculously comes back and blames it on lag then leaves" .... !!!!!
Then you just have the random trolls that try to see how many bloods they can get to spawn on the spine fight.

There are two ways to write the "words" part of this video-based post. One angle would be to marvel at the ability of a player like Vernon Wells, to take a "these guys are good!" approach.
After all, Vernon Wells, he of more than 13700 career innings as an outfielder and zero career innings playing as an infielder, took up the hot corner for the Yankees last night after a flurry of Binderism left the Yankees one infielder short. Vernon Wells stepped in to serve as the Yankees third baseman for the ninth inning, where he helped protect a one-run lead and secure the W.
Awesome, right? No.
There are more than a few examples of the Power of the Pinstripes, where players previously deemed finished as viable big leaguers join the Yankees and mysteriously lurch back to life, chipping in with key contributions well beyond their personal "best before" date. Vernon Wells hit .222/.258/.409 over the two previous seasons combined, losing his job in the Angels outfield. He was all but done, a bloated contract and broken-down player at the end of his career.
One trade to the Yankees and suddenly Vernon Wells is hitting .287/.341/.504 with seven home runs, playing the freaking infield on a whim, making plays and winning games for the Yanks. Vernon hit one of those seven homers yesterday, in addition to scoring the winning run on an infield single.
This is scary. Terrifying even. What kind of mad science do they practice there in the Bronx? What sort of rejuvenation techniques to they employ? Witchcraft? Human Sacrifice? Pleas to darker power? I don't want to think about it.
Here's a video of Vernon Wells playing third base, fielding a Carlos Gonzalez grounder smoothly in the ninth inning of a one-run game. Mind the blood rain, enjoy the dead rising up and roaming the Earth. Lost souls and all that.

Anyone get any good production from these? I've seen posts where people say Yes, but they don't know what the variety is. I'm having trouble finding either a self-fertile variety or a pollinating pair that is fire blight resistant.Does anyone have a named variety that does well? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Man, I'm up here in the frigid northland of southern west-central KY, so my input may not be appropriate for you, but here 'tis. Not many Asians on the NCGR list of fireblight-resistant cultivars(see link below). |

Thank you so much. The main concern I have, apart from the fireblight, is the chilling hours. Tennosui looks like it might be a keeper, but I'm having some trouble finding a nursery that has this one. Maybe I'll just put in another persimmon. |
