I was wondering if anyone out there has a Hidden Ginger with leaves that are fuzzy on the undersides? This one will grow to 7'-8' feet, likes shade, and looks like the Curcuma petiolata, but the flower is a lighter pink with a dark spot on each petal. Anyone have this one or know which one it might be? Thank you for reading.

The only one I can think of is velvet stepladder ginger. But it is not a hidden type ginger. Check out this site for more pictures. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Costus malortieanus

There are tons of 'fuzzy' Costus, several other species besides C. malortieanus. Regardless, the Curcuma could be one of several, so without a photo of the inflorescence it wouldn't be wise to guess. Given the height, C. elata comes to mind, but the bracts are a solid. But, many Curcuma will get taller in shade than in a sunnier spot. The fuzzy undersides is not a unique feature though. Sooooo many Curcuma are very similar in appearance, that verbal descriptions just don't work. Tim Chapman |
I've looked up the C. elata, and that is not it, and I did look up the one cactusfreak suggested, which is an amazing ginger, but this is not it either. I'll see if I can get a picture of the inflorescence. I've been looking up pics of Curcuma's, and so far, none of them match the inflorescence on this ginger. Thank you for your suggestions, and I will try and get a picture of it to help with the identification. Grayse |

This is 'my' ginger that grayse is asking about, and I thought I should add a point or two that might help. While it is a 'hidden' ginger, it's not really very well hidden since it blooms in the spring as the leaves are beginning to come up, but before they're big enough to do much 'hiding'. It's one of the first gingers I got after I moved here about 25 years ago, and was given to me by a wonderful gardener who didn't think names were important. Aargh! She gave me several nice plants, some I'm still trying to identify. (I do think names are important, tho' sometimes I'm not sure I remember my own.) I've tried it in several places, and it DID NOT LIKE SUN. In fact, in sun it died. It won't bloom again 'til next spring, so it's going to be awhile before we can post a picture. Hope that's some help. And thanks, Grayse! |

Pennsylvania graduate student sues professor, Lehigh University over C-plus grade
Woman says C-plus cost her $1.3M
EASTON, Pa. - Pennsylvania graduate student Megan Thode wasn't happy about the C-plus she received for her internship, saying the mediocre grade kept her from getting her desired degree and becoming a licensed therapist.
Thode is suing her professor and Lehigh University in Bethlehem, demanding that her grade be changed. She's also seeking monetary damages.
Northampton County Judge Emil Giodano ruled Wednesday that there's enough evidence for Thode's lawsuit to proceed.
The Bethlehem university had argued that the suit was without merit.
Thode maintains that the mediocre grade in one class cost her $1.3 million in lost earnings. Her attorney contends that her teacher targeted her because she is an outspoken advocate for gay marriage.
The instructor denies that.
The Express-Times of Easton reports that her professor, Amanda Eckhart, stands by the grade. She says Thode earned zero out of 25 points in class participation.
Lehigh attorney Neil Hamburg says it would be unprecedented for the judge to order that her grade be changed.
Thode contends the C-plus cost her $1.3 million -- the economic value of a master's degree in counseling psychology.

Hi, I am getting my bathroom remodeled, and the contractor put up the cement board around the tub and the sheetrock outside the tub area today. Tomorrow he is coming back to do spackling. I noticed that a couple of the corners of the cement board look broken or crumbled in spots. Is this something to be concerned about? Also, he left a small space by the side of the tub where there is no cement board. Please see the photos. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are many posters who know more then me about these things. I hope they will post tonight for you. Pic 1&5: Not sure if the board is coming down over the tile flange but I understand that is what should happen. Look at the instructions you have for the tub. Pic 5: I don't like the wood where it is, but I am not an experienced remodeler. I would have cut the cement board around that area. Pic 3: I think that hole can be filled in with thinset and fiberglass tape (not spackle). Otherwise the boards aren't supposed to be too tight together. All seams are to be fitted with fiberglass tape, and thinset applied. What kind of vapor barrier are you using? If there is poly behind the board there shouldn't be Redgard or Hydroban on top of the board. If no poly behind the boards than make sure that everything is sealed with the paint on vapor barrier. I don't think the paint on barriers will stick to silicone, so don't silicone caulk those openings at the tub. EDITED to state that these comments may be inaccurate, and I will be happily corrected by those with more experience and knowledge. |

Hi enduring, thanks for your input. I don't think the board is coming over top of the flange, but if it did, wouldn't the board be kind of angled in at the bottom? There is nothing behind the board, so I will make sure that something is done on top of it. Wish I knew more about all this stuff :) |
I think the board is in poor shape and I would not have used it in my DIY job. The tub, do you know what kind it is? You can find installation instructions for tubs on the internet. If it is a Kohler you can go to any site that sells them and they also link instructions, as does the Kohler website. Is this a tub with or without a shower? The wall either can be shimmed out with furring strips, or the 2x4s notched in so the tub tile flange can be recessed a bit. But I don't know if it is needed with just a tub installation, as the walls won't be wet like in a shower. As I look on the Kohler web site they set the board down on top of the flange like in your picture, siliconed the tiny gap than tiled over the board with the tile providing the overlap. Then the gap where the tile meets the tub gets caulked with silicone. They don't mention any vapor barrier like Redgard, hydroban, or poly. The installation is probably where there is no shower involved. Again I am not an experienced remodeler, just a DIY on a few things. What you don't want is water to be creeping back behind the wall board to get into your wall/stud space. Now the cast iron shower pan that Kohler has, is installed with furring strips on the studs that rest down onto the the top of the tile flange. Then, the cement board is dropped down over the flange and down onto the deck. The furring strips that are shown in these instructions look to be several feet long. I don't know how this is done in real life. I would have thought that the strips would need to be the entire wall length. EDITED to post link that I had saved. This link has a picture that Mongoct posted, its the 5th post I believe. It is an excellent diagram of how to treat the wall, tub, and tile without using firring strips. This is how I did it on my non-showered tub. |

Paint-on water/vapor barriers like Redgard, Hydroban, and Aquamix will "fill in" small cracks and corners. You just glob 'em on pretty thick and that does the trick. On the little crumbly places, as long as they're little and the cement board isn't compromised, like with a long crack where the board bent or something, thinset will fill it in and hold the tile well. I'm in the process of tiling a tub surround and set the cement board on top of the flange (to go in front of it you'd need to fur out the studs so it didn't bend in at the bottom) and then painted Aquamix over the joint. On one side of the tub the face of the cement board was almost even with the flange and on the other side it hung over because we didn't set the tub exactly centered between the 2 walls. I would have your GC add a small strip of cement board over top of that wood in the last photo. I'm assuming that's wood that sits 1/2" behind the drywall and cement board, no? It needs to be covered with something just to bring it out flush with the adjoining walls. Just my amateur DIY two cents to add to enduring's. :-) |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Fri, Jul 26, 13 at 14:07
I believe you generally tape joints in cement board and skim some thinset over. It helps to fill in crumbly spots. I know I tried really hard to keep my cement board in good shape when installing it, but sometimes the edges just crumble like that. |
Thanks for the responses everyone! The tub is a Kohler Villager cast iron, and I think you are supposed to have the board right on top of the flange like they did it. I'll make sure they fill in all the crumbly spots properly, and also make sure they put a little piece of cement board in that space there. |
- Posted by catbuilder (My Page) on Sat, Jul 27, 13 at 7:22
You can have the board on top of the flange, as long as it is still proud of it. The tile will hang below the bottom of the board, 1/8" above the tub deck. Your waterproofing should extend at least 3" beyond the face of the tub. If you're using a liquid membrane (as opposed to Kerdi), that means you need to extend the cement board, not use drywall. Where the wood is showing is very prone to failure in any tub surround, so you want to make sure it is waterproofed very well. I would have them re-do the end wall to have the cement board extend the proper distance beyond the tub and down the front edge of it (the dog-leg). One piece there is better than cobbling it together by adding on more small pieces. Make sure the mesh tape is alkali-resistant. |

A word of warning though... this one's a monster!!
So a few weeks ago, my usual speedometer for my bike gave up and eventually stopped working completely. I have had it for a good number of years now and it has served me well, but it was obviously time for a replacement. This got me thinking and inspired me to create this Arduino based project. A while ago, I published an instructable documenting how to build a 'Wireless Altoids Display'. It consisted of an 16x2 LCD controlled by an Arduino and a pair of maxsteam Xbee modules. Simple enough, ASCII text sent over serial from the computer would be displayed on the remote LCD. Through this project, I will hopefully be able to show you how you can integrate that setup in a useful application.
What does it do exactly?
The 16x2 display is mounted on the bike's handle bars and provides the user with feedback in terms of how fast they are currently traveling. There is also a nice little bar graph on the top row to provide a visual representation. As well as being able to view your speed in realtime on the bike, the data is also sent wirelessly 'back to base' where the results can be logged and visualised on an moving graph using 'Processing'. The arduino sends the current Speed, Average and Distance covered whilst riding.
Components & Configuration
>> On the bike: (Arduino + Magnetic Reed Switch + Xbee Pro Module + 16x2 LCD)
>> At home: (Xbee Pro Module + FTDI USB Cable)
Let's get to it!

First of all very good job. I want to use your magnific work on my bycicle, but at the moment links are not working and give me a 440 server error. I would like to test it and if I can do some mods for a bigger screen. Could you put links back please.
Thanks and best regards
mark out the LCD then get a dremel and cut the box, it will look much better and would be less affected by water
one more thing,is it possible of i left out part where the antenna has to be installed?is it necessary to have antenna?
thank you. :)
Great job.
I can't seem to link to the sketch, I am trying a similar project and am a bit lost...
You can see the original, full size image here...
Hope this is okay? :)

UTSA's College of Architecture launches new career preparedness initiative
(January 24, 2013) -- In an effort to help prospective graduates fully prepare to enter an ever-changing and competitive job market, UTSA's College of Architecture (CoA) has modified the traditional, one-day career fair model and will present a new initiative this semester. The CoA's Symposium on Professional Practice will be a series of interactive panels in which invited speakers from the professional community will deliver informational sessions, share industry insights, and engage in open dialogue with students.
The symposium kicks off on Monday, January 28 with the first session, Getting Started: Diversity of Practices and Offices, held at 5:30 p.m. in the Monterey Building Gallery (MNT 1.108) on the UTSA Downtown Campus. This panel will be moderated by Richard Mogas and will include Mary Ann Mitchell, Principal of O'Connell Robertson, Michael Rey of Overland Partners Architects, and UTSA alumnus Derrik Godwin of Michael Imbimbo Architects.
Prior to the recession, the CoA held traditional career fairs each spring as a way of allowing prospective graduates to network with area employers. The new initiative is an attempt to reclaim the optimism of the career fairs in years past, while realistically enabling our graduates to plan for their professional destinies in more strategic, informed ways.
A series of three panel sessions, paired with a one-day shadowing event, will be held over the course of four months during the 2013 spring semester. Each session will be composed of three panelists from San Antonio's architectural community and moderated by a recognized architectural practice leader who will pose ideas and field questions from the audience. On the shadow day, each architecture graduate student will be paired up with a design professional to gain insight into the daily routine of office productivity, studio formations, and workplace relationships. A variety of office environments, firm sizes, and emphases of practice will be represented in both the panel sessions and the shadow day.
The following are examples of the important topics that will be discussed over the course of the sessions: portfolio creation; the process of pursuing jobs; the ways firms evaluate potential employees; interview strategies; how the workplace has changed in recent years; and what recent graduates should know in order to succeed during their formative first years of practice. See schedule below for complete details.
The Symposium on Professional Practice was borne out of discussions by the CoA's Dean's Advisory Council, which formed a subcommittee to fully realize the idea. Led by Greg Papay, Partner at Lake/Flato Architects and Chair of the Dean's Advisory Council, and faculty member Rick Lewis, the subcommittee approached local design professionals and firms to support this endeavor, many of whom graciously offered to volunteer as panelists or shadow hosts. In addition to reinforcing the launch of graduates into the profession, all involved hope to foster a more productive, innovative, and enduring building industry workforce in years to come.
For more information, contact Nicole Chavez, CoA Development Associate, at email@example.com or (210) 458-3121.

I must admit that was the first time I got to hear what Mitt Romney was all about and I liked what I heard.
The democrats are a party of skeptics, doubters, fear mongers, and conspiracy theorists. They are the ones who use fear to scare people into doing what they want. Lying cheating stealing is ok. The end truly justifies the means.
They are eternal pessimists and see the glass as half empty instead of half full. They are the ones who when the going gets tough they want to quit. They are weak. What happened to the FDR's and the JFK's of the Democratic Party?
It's funny when you consider how they operate. They run around throwing out words like honesty, integrity, leadership, etc. like they are just bumper stickers. We support our troops but we don't support their mission and The Great General Petraeus is "out of touch with reality (despite the fact they approved his appointment earlier this year 81-0)."
A few years back I had a guy as a business partner for a short period of time who was always telling everyone how "honest" he was and how much "integrity" he operated with. This guy devastated my business financially and then bolted when there was no more money to take or things to destroy.
We had moved into a new office space with a five year lease ($600,000 over five years in rent) and leased $50,000 worth of new computers and office furniture on a Friday. On the following Monday he told me he was "outta here" because he needed to make some money and this was not a good situation for him. WTF???????
This was a lovely situation for me. I had let my top producing agents leave to start their own company to make room for him as a partner instead of the guys who had stuck with me for several years. He was so delusional that he actually said to me before he walked out the door that he "helped me save my company."
Who was he fucking kidding? I later found out the $50,000 lease for the equipment had a personal guarantee that he forged my signature to when I was in Europe with my girlfriend. When I got back after three weeks we had lost half of our new recruits and all our momentum. He said he did not know what happened but that everything just "fell apart" while I was away. Well, I knew what had happened. He happened. People would not follow him.
It left me with one hell of a mess that took over three years to clean up.
So when I hear someone tell me how "honest" they are, I think the opposite. It's like the person who farts then says "who farted?" What happens when someone says to you "hey I'm a Christian?" If you are like most people the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and say watch out! It's like they think that one word "Christian" makes up for all their shortcomings and deviousness.
I see the democrats yelling foul all the time at President Bush. Well, what's their record so far?
They are not all a lowly bunch of cowards that are dishonest and corrupt. I like Joe Lieberman. Here is a guy who supports the war and his party does not nominate him for the Senate. So he runs as an independent and kicks the ass of the candidate that replaced him on the democratic ticket.
In 2004 Lieberman again went for democratic Presidential nominee and his former running mate from 2000 Al Gore puts his support behind Howard Dean who later plummets right off the ticket. Thanks for showing you have no integrity or loyalty Al Gore. The guy is totally plastic. "I am glad I have such great friends" he must have thought.
The man gets kicked in the balls numerous times by his supposed friends and party and yet he still says he is democrat. Again the man shows he has more class than the whole Democratic Party combined does.
I would vote for Senator Lieberman as a future Republican candidate
That man has integrity. So does Senator McCain. When we win this war he could skyrocket back to the top again and still take the nomination for Republican Presidential candidate.
Anything can happen. Rudy could win and so could Senator Thompson. We will just have to see how their campaigns go.
I like Obama but he is too inexperienced and does not have a high enough level of consciousness that would enable him to make the tough decisions. He is not strong enough to run for what he really believes in. He has become too political. Obama girl is the best thing his campaign's got going in my opinion.
Hillary just is so in-authentic that I would not trust anything that came out of her mouth. Her and Bill have no integrity. I know two people that have personally known former President Clinton and one of them was his success coach. The other knew him when he was still Governor. They both had a very low opinion of him. Bill has a life time history of fucking around with other women. He just got caught with Monica Lewinski.
I doubt anything has changed with that. Except maybe a little Viagra.
If Lieberman sticks around on their ticket I believe there is hope for their party. If not maybe they will end up in the dust bin of history along with the mainstream media.
I personally have a low tolerance for people who don't say what they mean and mean what they say. It literally has cost me millions to learn that lesson the hard way. That includes politicians who stand for what ever they think the public opinion polls indicate they need to stand for to win. What ever happened to principle centered leadership or standing up for what you believe in?
Now President Bush and his staff have made some unbelievable blunders in Iraq. Lives have been lost because of it no doubt. But I truly believe they did the best they could with where they were at and with what they had to work with.
This has been the hardest and most difficult war we have ever fought. Our military has had to improvise, adapt, overcome, and compensate on a level never seen before.
But you've got to admire Bush's resolve and passion for what he believes in. I voted for him twice and have had times where I questioned his leadership. But the reason I still respect, admire, and support him is because he stands for what he believes in despite any public opinion polls. I will take a president like that any day over some rubber politician that will say anything to get votes.
Here is a quote I really love from a copywriter I once employed. He was one of the greatest copywriters who ever lived. He passed away only a few months ago. His name was Gary Halbert:
"Nothing is impossible for a person who refuses to listen to reason!" Gary Halbert
After 7 years it's finally paying off. I believe that in 10-15 years people in Iraq will love him like the people in Albania do.
Its time the rest of America gets behind our President so we can win this war together. Most importantly our Soldiers believe in him and if they believe in our leader and their mission, well then so should we.

All the way to Okoboji – a long way to go for an interview. Not to sure about the man-on-the-street inteviewees though…
Trouble for me wrt Romney – it all sounds like sloganeering. Most of it anyway. On a few issues he sounds authentic and experienced, e.g., budget cutting…. but the rest are just words written for him so people can hear what they want to hear.
Did anyone catch his statement about the US vis-à-vis China and India. Something about the US remaining superior to those two countries forever . There is a real problem to the tenor in those type of statements, and even more so the thought behind them. As an American, the value of the economic health of this country is important to me, but that does not mean I have to feel I am always at the top of the pecking order.
Not on the whole an interview that makes me want to vote for him.

Tube Debate Results:
1)Questioned Selected from YouTube but still controlled- So no actual changes.
2)Format however proved, people have No Trust on Leftist Journalists
3)Hillary-She has become angrier, wearing expensive jacket as liberal contradictory acts are, wealth for us / slogans for poor (as slogans haven't changed over the past 50 years in democratic party)—-Clich√© speech, predictable, general, stating the obvious and appealing to the least common denominator. That is why the next day NBC claimed Hillary was the winner. The same NBC that Hillary runners write Keith's show on MSNBC and a previous failed sportscaster turned MSNBC commentator is used to bad mouth Bush every night.
4)Obama-Smart but not much depth and experience
5)Edwards-Attorney-like presentation with no substance
6)Bottom line. American people are smarter than the liberals in general and Leftist journalists in particular than they receive credit for. Americans have proven to Leftist journalists and liberal manipulators that they can see through journalists and beyond them. For that reason I think the final nominees are:
7)Richardson-Will Secure the nomination of Democratic party
8)Romney- Who has a proven record in both government and business as US needs a real CEO at the helm not corrupted Washingtonian politician for its future, will secure the nomination in Republican party.
9)At the end, American people will choose Romney for a variety of reasons.
Keep this prediction in your file.

When looking at the 08 candidates especially on the Republican side, I believe there are some quality men. There is no question the stone that has taken the Republican's down is around GWB's neck. So how did the Repubs get into this situation or more importantly GWB. There are 3 qualities that have gotten him in trouble. 1. Mismanagement- his mismanagement of Iraq postwar is well known, Katrina, and even the spending in Washington has been out of control. Most are wondering if Rumsfeld & Cheney were really running things. 2. Betrayal to his own base, see the immigration bill, again the spending which is not conservative and 3. His incompetence as a leader. Whether it's in his speech or his foreign relations policy there is certainly a weakness there.
While some of the republican candidates could more than pick up the slack, IMO Mitt Romney is really the total package. He's incredibly organized and knows how to manage in order to get results. That's his gig. He's on the right side of the issues and has actions to prove it, he's also stated he will go through and streamline Washington–and if there's one guy who I think will do it (and not just say it) it's Romney. He's done this before.
Lastly, the guy is very intelligent, he's extremely well-spoken, and a competent leader. Look at how he's run his campaign, he's working extremely hard because he has too. And it is paying off.
While I think Giuliani is also very capable, his social stances aren't something I agree with. Would I vote for him over a Dem? Sure. He isn't very organized, and is a bit haphazard at times. I do like him, Romney trumps him as the more conservative and Romney's knowledge of the global economy is superior as well. They both "get it" in terms of the war on terror.
Thompson, seems like a nice guy, IMO he has a poor record, he isn't a Washington outsider, but just talks like one, and I don't believe he's going to put in the work that it will take. Why is he waiting to get in? Because he knows how hard it's going to be when he does get in. I just have a lot more respect for Romney and Giuliani for being out on the trail, going through the debates, and meeting people, shaking people's hands as it shows they want it. I respect that.

I've been a fan of Mitt Romney's since he barred state police and wouldn't allow any interruption of normal traffic flow for former Iranian leader Katami's visit to Harvard.
Also Mitt asked the most salient question in the 3rd debate:
"For that to happen, we're going to have to not just attack each one of these problems one by one, but say, how do we help move the world of Islam so that the moderate Muslims can reject the extreme?"
I haven't heard any political leader ask that question. And it's a visionary question filled with hope and optimism that is rare in politics regarding Middle East/foreign affairs.
Also Mitt said this at the debate:
"I watched the Democrats… … they don't think there's a war on terror. There's a war going on, and we need a broad response to make sure that these people have a different vision."
I think this statement is akin to Reagan's "tear down that wall" sentiment. Again a very hopeful outlook, a key ingredient to getting anything done in the world.

Romney is well spoken and impressive. I live all of the Republican candidates, but Romney is my favorite. McCain is just too old. He missed his prime.

After seeing this video, can there be any question as to Romney's strength as a Presidential candidate? He's amazingly bright, articulate, and informed. His stances on the issues are perfect. If we don't make Mitt our next president, we're nuts!

Mitt Romney is the candidate to be the President of our dear ailing nation. We need his loyalty, his committment, his vision his knowledge and experience to lift us out of the burden of heavy taxes and too much fighting in Congress over the same unimportant things to a level where we the hard working citizens enjoy a life of respect, prosperity, peace and service to one another and where families are treated as part of our nations building foundation. He will rebuild our industries and bring them back other nations where they have fled to because of heavy taxation and other requirements.

Mitt is the man! This country has a lot of problems, and I honestly believe 100% that Mitt Romney has the answers that the other candidates DO NOT-they have no clue. We NEED a president who has morals-who knows right from wrong!!!

I have been a Mitt fan/supporter since he saved the Olympics. He is by far the best qualified, most dignified, straightup gentleman we have had run for election in a long long time. IMHO opinion it would a stain on our history not to elect him and I am not nor ever will be a Mormon. Mitt Romney can turn it around he has practice.

Romney is unquestionably taking this Presidency. You will see an eventual disruption of the future Democratic nominee. Romney is a man of faith and a man of God. That is his strength. It is not feigned. It is real. He has thought out answers to the many hard-hitting questions that are being asked of him but beyond that, as with any future President, there will be situations that arise in the future that will be more frustrating to American ideals, more powerfully evil and we have to know that we have a person who is committed to the future, to innovative thinking in technology, innovative thinking in defense, innovative thinking in allowing more American to live out their worth dreams.
Romney is our man.

Is there one book that is a "must have" that came out this week? My friends Andy Tom (@AndrewJTom), Chris Campbell (ChrisCampbell8), Marc Diefenderfer (@Dief88), Shane Hannafey, Adam Besenyodi (@adambesenyodi), and I (@ChrisCCL) are sharing six comic book collected editions, reprints and/or graphic novels released this week that you may be interested in.
Picked by @AndrewJTom
The Unauthorized Tarzan HC by Joe Gill and Sam Glanzman (Dark Horse)
Way back in the glory days of Charlton Comics, a little known "scandal" went down. Like any good publishing company of that time, Charlton Comics saw an opportunity to use one of pop culture's most popular adventure heroes (Tarzan) for their own financial gain. Charlton knew that the freedom granted them by utilizing a character in the "public domain", they could tell the stories that they wanted to with little to no repercussion from the creators of characters like Tarzan. Charlton recruited Captain Atom creator, Joe Gill and popular war comics illustrator, Sam Glanzman to craft all new stories of Lord Greystoke. However, Charlton made a crucial mistake in their plans to make Tarzan a top selling comic. At that time in history, Tarzan wasn't in the "public domain". After only for issues, Charlton was ordered to cease publication of their all new Tarzan series and most of the remaining issues were destroyed. Both Joe Gill and Sam Glanzman would go on to other work, but never again were those "illegal" Tarzan stories reprinted… until now that is. Thanks to Dark Horse Comics, they've collected these four issues in a handsome hardcover edition. These stories can finally be shared with an all new generation of Tarzan fans. Even though Tarzan is now in the public domain, this Dark Horse reprint has been given the blessing of the Burroughs estate and will see print for the first time since it's initial release from Charlton. Now wait… I know that $29.99 sounds like a lot of money, especially for a four issue run of comics, so Dark Horse has tossed in some additional Sam Glanzman goodness by including material from Glanzman's Tarzan strip-art as well. Lastly, for the true Tarzan collector, Dark Horse is offering a Limited Edition (250 copies) for $59.99 featuring a "tip-in" signed by Sam Glanzman (you can get this while they last at www.instocktrades.com). I can't imagine that this one will stay in print for very long, so snatch this up while you can.
Collects Charlton's Jungle Tales of Tarzan #1-4, $29.99; Limited Edition, $59.99
Picked by @Dief88
Deadpool Classic Vol. 8 TPB (Marvel)
You have to admire the commitment Marvel has shown to publishing this line; I think Deadpool Classic has the most volumes of any Marvel Classic TPB series to date. This volume holds a particularly special place in my heart, though, because it collects the first issues of Deadpool that I ever read. Although it's technically the eighth volume of the series, this book actually stands perfectly well on its own, since it collects writer Frank Tieri's entire run on the title. The story begins as a follow-up to Tieri's contemporaneous run on Wolverine (which, sadly, has never been fully collected), but evolves into the best character study of Deadpool since the series' early issues. I've gone back to these issues many times over the years, and I look forward to now having them on my bookshelf for years to come.
Collects Deadpool #57-64, $24.99
Picked by Shane
Invincible Iron Man Vol. 10: Long Way Down TPB (Marvel)
Old Shellhead has always been my favorite Marvel character. Like DC's Batman, he is an ordinary man with extraordinary intellect and A LOT of money. He makes you feel like someone with the right brains, money and wherewithal could actually become a superhero. I have every single floppy of his solo series from issue #1 to the end of the Invincible Iron Man run. This story arc, collecting issues 516-520 comes just before the final one of the series and the beginning of Marvel Now Iron Man. I have really enjoyed Matt Fraction's runs on Iron Man and my other favorite Marvel hero, Thor. This story pretty much has it all. Tony Stark is still dealing with the aftermath of getting drunk for the first time in years. The Government is against him, the super villain team of the Mandarin, Ezekiel Stane and Justine Hammer are against him, almost everyone is against him. Iron Man is shut down by Hammer, but a new Iron Man has emerges while Mandarin works on his plan for world domination. You get lots of action and intrigue and a cliffhanger ending that sets up the final act of Invincible Iron Man. A must read!
Collects Invincible Iron Man #516-520, $16.99

Leonard Starr's Mary Perkins On Stage Volume 11 TP (Classic Comics Press)
Often overlooked in the world of comics is the prolific artist and writer Leonard Starr. His long history includes the Golden Age Human Torch and Sub-Mariner, a stop at EC Comcis and Marvel and even as a developer for the 1980's classic animated Thundercats. But he is most known for Mary Perkins, On Stage; a strip he created that ran from February, 1957 to September 9, 1979. It was a soap opera that blended in adventure and humor. Starr won the National Cartoonists Society's Story Comic Strip Award in 1960 and 1963, and the Reuben Award in 1965. Charles Pelto and his Classic Comics Press has been putting together collected editions of the strip and is now on Volume 11. For more, I interviewed, Mr. Pelto for Podcast #300 back in 2011.
November 1, 1970 to June 11, 1972 with an introduction by Howard Chaykin, $24.95
Superman: The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus HC (DC Comics)
He's the most iconic superhero ever – and now his is dead.
Back in 1988, when the Death Of Superman happened, the whole world reflected. It was covered on the nightly news and in Time magazine. There were even vigils held at comic book stores. Sales of the event soared and it was critiqued left and right. Since then it has become an evergreen for DC Comics. It's been reprinted a few different times; mostly the main story in trade paperback which is Action Comics 684; Adventures of Superman 497; Justice League of America 69; Superman vol. 2, 74-75; Superman: The Man of Steel 18-19; one page each from Action Comics 683, Adventures of Superman 496, Superman 73, and Superman: The Man of Steel 17. But that's not all, two other stroylines made it a trilogy: World Without a Superman and The Return of Superman. In 2007 all three were collected in The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus, but now DC has expanded the story even more to include the full issues of Action Comics 683, Adventures of Superman 496, Superman 73, and Superman: The Man of Steel 17 and not just the one page excerpts that were previously collected. So to wrap it all up – this is the one complete volume.
Collects Superman: The Man Of Steel #17-26, Superman #73-82, Adventures Of Superman #496-505, Action Comics #683-691, Justice League America #69, Superman: The Legacy Of Superman #1 And Green Lantern #46, 1,008 pages, $99,99
Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess Archives Volume 1 HC (DC Comics)
As one looks at where DC Comics deems to start the Silver Age of Comics, the old argument is between Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) in Detective Comics #225 from November 1955 and Flash (Barry Allen) in Showcase #4 from October 1956. I tend to go with The Flash. Superman entered the Silver age with Action Comics #241, June 1958 and Superman #122, July 1958. But Batman was late to the game: Detective Comics #27, May 1964 and Batman #164, June 1964.
DC has collected the Silver Age Wonder Woman in four Showcase Presents volumes, to date, but this is the first time these adventures have been collected as an Archive Edition. The significance of her first Silver Age story (Wonder Woman #98, May 1958) is that it the original artist, Harry G. Peter was replaced by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. As a point if fact, Wonder Woman ended her run in Sensation Comics #73, January 1948.
Collects Wonder Woman #98-110, $75.00

I think you mean Maranta and Calathea? Sorry, I don't buy plants through the mail, but I've been to Glasshouse Works (which also offers mail order) in person and have been happy with the plants I bought from them. They probably have some of these. |
Calathias are available at Home depot--quite often! Maranta (Prayer Plant) you do not always see. Sometimes when HD gets in it's assortment of premium HB's, there may be a few Marantas among them. Go check! |

It's official! Team Canada's World Junior team has been selected, and all it took was the public humiliation of a dozen-plus hopefuls on national TV. A small price to pay, amirite? Below, we'll look at the finalized roster position by position, and what it means for Canada's chances. This may shock you, but the team is quite good.
But first, let's note that the format of team selection is stupid. Here's a string of Don Cherry quotes, whom I agree with:
I feel that team Canada Jrs will win the gold. They couldn't get a better coach than Stevey Spott of Kitchener. But I always feel for the
— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) December 13, 2012
Holy shit that's the Don Cherriest tweet Don Cherry has ever tweeted. The "y" nickname, the implication that being from an Ontario town makes you a better person…the works, really. Moving on.
the young players that are cut. Especially after a loss to Alberta Golden Bears last night. It really is an emotional thing for these.. — Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) December 13, 2012
players going back to their teams as a failure. Why do they invite so many players? they have a fair idea who is going to make the club. — Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) December 13, 2012
Aside from the bluntness of the word "failures," he's so, so right. They brought 37 players to a three day camp and had to cut a third of them, down to 23. I know part of it is the honour of being invited for the kids, but I'm not sure if that's really better than a phone call to them with the message "look, you were close, you're on our radar." The throngs of media waiting to interview 18 year olds who just experienced the worst hockey heartbreak of their life is insane. I mean, the kids will be fine and all, just, geez – 37? What a mind-fuck.
Hockey Canada needs to change this process. RT @tom_wilso: Kinda sucks walking by TVs in airport & seeing yourself getting cut over and over — Jesse Spector (@jessespector) December 14, 2012
Indeed. BUT ANYWAY. Enough about the guys who didn't make it. Let's talk about those that did.

Here's a couple of plates I found at the TS for 99 cents each. I sure wish they would have had four or even six--I really like them. For the centerpiece, I just went around the house pulling things with blue in them--it was sort of fun. So what do you think? Give me your thoughts and suggestions please. Just click on the pics to enlarge them.

Well, first, thank you for posting this over here. I haven't gotten over to Holidays (aka The Dish) forum in a while. ha This is so pretty. I love the blue plates and what a bargain! You need some place settings for just you and DH! Do you use real dinnerware in your RV or just go with paper? The setting is so springy! It's wonderful. Love all the elements you used...the little nests and the picture. I love it! ~Anj |

Anj, I bought some Corelle dishes for the motorhome. I was going to just use the plastic dishes from Dollar Tree, but then decided I might want to pop them in the microwave so the Corelle would work better. I also carry a good supply of paper plates too, but DH much prefers the real ones. We usually cook most meals in the motor home or on our portable grill. Too expensive to eat out all the time. I also carry a few placemats and even a little vase of flowers! LOL Glad you got to see my pics, now back to the painting! I have a project almost done, so maybe I'll post a painted item over on the gallery later today or in the morning. Luvs |
Nice job pulling it all together, Luvs. It looks just like something we would expect from such a talented lady like u. Can't wait to see your next painted project. |

Thanks Phonegirl--this one and two others were supposed to go on the Holiday forum where we do tables and such between the times when we have holiday decor to share, but I posted them here by mistake. I have posted a couple of painted items on the gallery here. You can find it in the middle towards the top of the page if you'd like to look. Luvs |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Honey, a Apache Junction Quarterhorse was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Quarterhorse for sale in Apache Junction, or seeking a Quarterhorse from a breeder in Apache Junction.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Apache Junction 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 Apache Junction 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 Quarterhorse breeders who help with Quarterhorse rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Apache Junction paves the way for another one to be saved.

There's no cockpit cam in Grid 2. None whatsoever. So if you're inclined to turn your fine-tuned petrol head nose up at those who play using unrealistic camera perspectives, this game will have you feeling like the very Tin Lizzie plebeians you so mercilessly mock, sitting on your throne of scrapped exhausts. But that shouldn't put you off.
While the lack of a cockpit view is a definite shame, Grid 2 still manages to provide exhilarating racing across a huge variety of competitive disciplines. It's very similar to the original, and those already invested in the series will quickly realise that Grid 2 plays it pretty safe, but the quality of content on offer here is high despite the reserved delivery.
Split across three continents, Grid 2's campaign structure is bog standard. You start with nothing - no fans, cash or cars - and gradually work your way through the World Series Racing table, earning new rides and budding followers that boost your championship standings. The structure itself is tried and tested, and Grid 2 is impressively sizeable, but the main events are punctuated with awkward real-life mocked-up ESPN interviews that try to give some real life context to the spectacle.
There are computers displaying Q&A sessions with your driver, and other stuff that forces the LOLs of today's technological world in your unsuspecting face. It's all stilted and completely unnecessary to what Grid 2 does as a game. We just want to drive fast cars, mate.
The event structure is tightly-knit at first, filtering you through a limited number of events to curate amass cars and progress to the more substantial tiers, but there's enough diversity in the actual racing to keep things interesting. Standard races in the bustle of US and Europe are accompanied by familiar, exclusively Asian disciplines like Drift, which is more focused on slick sideways control of the car, rather than point-to-point apex accuracy. Unsurprisingly, every location looks absolutely gorgeous. Codies' games have started thinning the graphical jumps between new games thanks to the Xbox's processing ceiling, but Grid 2 is still a remarkable looking racer.
In order to maximize your driving performance, it's important to pick the right class of car. Pick a grip car for a drift event and you'll have a hard time getting any rubber burning, whilst driving a drift ride for a blazing street chase through Miami will get you stuck spinning in circles instead of stood proudly on the podium. The grip and drift classes are the main distinction between handling, but every car - there are a lot of them - has its own nuances you can experiment with on the track. All told, the handling is spot on across the board, and it balances fun, speed and precision better than any other arcade racer out there.
The new Live Routes mode removes the mini-map entirely, randomly generating courses as you race. This ramps up the challenge by forcing you to race without being able to anticipate where you'll be turning next. Having to balance your racing ruthlessness with more generous use of the brake pedal makes for tougher victories. These events are balanced really well throughout the campaign, and aren't overused to the point where it becomes a gimmick. We're still debating whether Live Routes genuinely generates tracks as you go, though - pretty sure the obscuration of the mini-map is the magic here.
Everything extends online, which makes Grid 2's multiplayer one of the best and largest in the business. There's a ranking system, a modified flashback function, and all of the modes from the campaign. It's familiar, but the fact the single player is lifted wholesale gives the multiplayer the longevity and variety it needs to be a fantastic portion of the game. Most importantly, it's pure fun.

Okay, one more family story. The "heirloom" thread elicited so many responses that I think you all might enjoy this one.
My aunt, keeper of everything related to my mother's family, died just shy of her 90th birthday after a long and interesting life. The family plot in the churchyard of an historic church in the country is getting full, so she wanted to be cremated so as to take up less room. Very sensible. We couldn't bring ourselves to put her ashes into some ordinary thing from the funeral home, so we found a very nice chinese urn from among her things and gave it to the funeral director to use. The next day, he called and said, we have a small problem. We said, what's that, and he said, you need either more urn or less aunt. So back into the china cabinet we went, and there was what we all called "the red pitcher," which was a rather horrible mulberry colored pitcher with painted flower medallions on both faces and a lot of gold trim. Family lore has it that my great-great grandmother threw that pitcher out the upstairs window at a Yankee captain whose horse was trampling her rose bushes. He caught it before it hit the ground, took off his hat, offered it back to her, and took his men out of her yard. Whether or not this is true is not important...but it made a great story. So we took that pitcher to the undertaker, he put her in it, and we set it on the altar table in the church for the funeral service. The church is a beautifully simple restored colonial country church, with white painted wooden box pews and stone floors and very little ornament of any kind. So the excessively ornate red pitcher sitting on the altar was a subject of some curiosity, until at the end of the service my cousin Bill went up, picked it up, and led the procession out into the churchyard, where it went into the ground at the appropriate moment in the liturgy. Suddenly my mother noticed that her sisters ashes were actually in the pitcher in a white plastic bag, at which point we all got the giggles, because this aunt was notorious for saving and stockpiling plastic bags. It was a moment of great satisfaction in the celebration of her life, and a knitting together of the colonial, the 19th century, and the modern aspects of our family, all tied up neat as you please. Then in good Southern fashion, everybody went back to somebody's house and had a good stiff drink and a table full of food, and agreed that we had sent her off both with proper respect and with a measure of pure silliness, which she would absolutely have loved. |

LOL Cute, heartwarming story! Not an heirloom story, but when my MIL died her DGD stuck in a small cloth belt that she used to "threaten" her Grandma with in order to act nice when she went to town!

Not actually an heirloom story, but when my father died my mother told me what he used to say when he saw a bra ad. You had to know my father he was very quiet and very straight. He would say " Mother, look at this ad...1/2 off" ! It is a story I will keep with me as I never thought he would think or say anything like that. I am a naive daughter! |

That story is priceless! I loved it; thanks for sharing. |
All the stories are heartwarming! |
Not funny, rather pathetic story from me. When my Grandmother died, my Mom (her only child) inheirited everything. There was a box of photos taken in the early 1900's. Mom didn't recognize any of them, but knew they were all relatives. She saved the box. Mom is now 85, blind, has severe emphysema from a lifetime of smoking. I'm the oldest child, so I guess I'll inheirit the box of photos. Will I save it ? Yes, they're my relatives, too! |
Huh. Jannie, I have a box or two of the same kind of photos. I'm going to dump them. I am a sentimental old fool who saves everything, but relatives or not, I'm dumping the box. No one in the family knew these people or can identify them, and none of my kids, nieces or nephews has any interest in them. The more time goes by, the more unimportant they become. I don't feel one bit sad or guilty about doing it - I just have to find the box! I wish I could be so ruthless about all the other stuff in this house! |
- Posted by blueiris24 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 08 at 12:07
Just because this is an organization thread I can't restrain myself - I look for old photos in thrift stores to make collages with, so don't throw those old photos away! At the very least donate them to a place like that. One person's trash, another person's treasure . . . I love the stories, and the part about saving the plastic bags is priceless - including the bags from bread, right? |
I have a box on unidentified people also. I was thinking of getting rid of it because my brothers don't seem to have an interest. Most must be of my grandmother's and grandfathers family but don't know who they are or even if they are my grandparents. |
- Posted by kitchenredo2 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 08 at 20:35
Great stories! I too have a box of photos of dead relatives (at least I think that's who these people are....) Don't you just wish someone would have written a notation on the back as an identifier? Two of my favorite notations: "Just Me" (photo is of a young woman and a child) and "Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment" (photo of 4 young women holding cigarettes). If they're my relatives, they are also relatives to others - so is someone else wondering who "Me" is and what "Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment" has to do with four young women from the early 1900's? |
When my kids were young, I took loads of photos. I put many in albums and labelled them. Example: "Baby Lucy's First Year" "1989 to June 1990". I wrote names on the backs of photos before putting them in albums. I think my glorious system stopped about 1995. Since then, unfortunately, I've just jammed photos and negatives in a box, hoping "someday" I'll have time to really organize them. I would never wtrite "Just me" on a photo. I'm trying not to leave the next generation a mess after I die. By the way, I plan on living forever. It's working so far. . . |

Help! My seeds have been growing great, until the past couple days they have all started to wilt miserably. It must be damping off... how can I save them? Is there anything I can do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sudden wilting can be caused by several things. So are you just assuming it is damp-off? It has very specific symptoms - the main stem of the plant shrivels and pinches in right at or just slightly above the soil line - so it should be easy to ID for sure. So first you need to discover that the problem really is. Post a picture and provide all the details on age, type of plant, potting mix used, feeding if any, watering regiment, etc. etc. But if it is damp-off then no, there is nothing that can be done to really save the plant. It can be prevented but not cured. Studies have been done on infected plants and show the plants, even if they can be transplanted deeply and new roots developed, are still infected with the fungus and eventually die. Dave |
I personally believe air circulation is important for prevention. I have a fan on a timer (something like 1/2 hour on, 1 hour off) and I haven't lost any plants this year to damping off. I use this schedule particularly after I water them for 6 to 8 hours. The fan is across the room so the air flow is gentle. I believe those clear covers you put over the started trays are totally BAD NEWS. They stop all air circulation. I buy the starter trays but never use the clear covers. Outside, in the garden, what happens? Yep. I am just a little saddened to read digdirt's comments because of my experience below. Is there a particular pathogen or mold that causes dampening off? I had germinated some "slow seeds" using coffee filter & baggie method. The seeds developed mold on the coffee filters and I was concerned. (I didn't use chlorinated city water, would that have help?) The moldy seeds went into the soil; the clear tray cover went into the trash; the fan went on... And the plants came up and are growing great so far. |
PS - I had about a 65% to 70% success rate. 40+ plant from 60+ seeds. Which I believe is way better than last year. |
hi Clay - there are 4 specific fungi (not a mold), that cause damp-off. With seedlings the most common is Rhizoctonia solani which is a common fungus in most all soils (one reason why sterile seed starting mix is recommended) and only requires the ideal conditions to exist for it to develop. Those conditions are excess soil moisture, overly warm air temps, excess humidity, and inadequate air circulation in the area - which is why fans work so well. Even when sterile mix is used, transfer of that fungus to the mix is easy if using outdoor tools or tools/containers that haven't been disinfected or hands that have been in dirt. Not that molds are a good thing, :) but unlike molds which primarily grow on the surfaces and can be eradicated, R.solani can invade the roots and the circulatory system of the plant. But again there are several possible causes for sudden wilting other than damp-off. Off hand those causes are fungus gnats, exposure to excess heat or cold, contaminated water or soil, over-fertilization, root rot due to over-watering (probably the most common), rootbound plants, mechanical or herbicide injury, etc. to name only a few. I agree with you about the plastic domes but some insist on using them. And I'd encourage you to use your fan even more. They can do no harm if left on 24 hours a day as consistent, adequate air circulation is vital for healthy plants. Enjoy your plants. Dave |
Hey all, I forgot to check back on this thread. Definite damping off..I lost over a dozen seedlings right above the soil line. :( luckily I still have more seeds but... grrr :( |

Got some cinnamon. Sprinkle it on the soil. Cinnamon has antiseptic properties and will stop damp off. Other things like Chamomile and garlic do too. This is something I like to have on hand. For damp off and slight mildew problems I keep a spray bottle of tea made from chanomile tea bags on hand. Steep a couple of bags in boiling water to cover them. It will be a deep brown. Dilute it to a golden brown color with cold water and put in a spray bottle. At the first sign of mold or damp off spray the soil |

Hi, Check carefully and see if you have any mold growing. If you have I usually try to skim the mold off with a plastic spoon being careful not to damage the seedlings. I don't attempt to get all the mold off, just what can be had easily. I hope this helps. Some people spray the 3 per cent hydrogen peroxide solution to cure dampening off, but i would not consider that organic gardening and could affect your spiritual aura. |
There is no cure for damping off once a plant has become infected with the pathogen. Purge all the infected plants and place them in a trashbag. DO NOT throw them in your compost pile. While you pruge the infected plants, DO NOT touch any healthy plants. This will spread the pathogen. Sanatize any tools you use around the new plants, and really clean your hands well after handling the infected plants. Once you have that done, having a clean, healthy environment for the healthy seedlings will help keep damping off at bay. Stable temp around 70* or so, good airflow over top of soil with a fan or two, monitor your watering so you do not over water. All is not lost, but it is very important that nothing that has touched the infected plants touches the healthy ones. |

Taking Revenge at The Grand Melee
An A Game of Thrones: The Card Game spotlight by guest writer Joe Becker |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 03 November 2011 |
A spasm of anger rippled across her father's face. "I warn you, Arianne, I am out of patience."
"With me?" That is so like him. "For Lord Tywin and the Lannisters you always had the forbearance of Baelor the Blessed, but for your own blood, none."
"You mistake patience for forbearance. I have worked at the downfall of Tywin Lannister since the day they told me of Elia and her children. It was my hope to strip him of all that he held most dear before I killed him…"
–George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows
One of my favorite of the Great Houses is Martell, both in A Game of Thrones: The Card Game and in the books. Something about this enigmatic House appeals to me. The books mention the Martells several times before we ever meet a character from their House. But when we do, what a character it is that we first meet: Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne. Mysterious, exotic, deadly, with a burning desire for revenge. For many, the Red Viper is their favorite character. But he's not mine.
No, to me the greatest Martell character is Doran Martell. When we are first introduced to him in A Feast for Crows, he appears to be a weak, cowardly, broken man. Yet we later learn that this is a man who is willing to wait decades to exact his vengeance. He is an intelligent and devious man, sharing his plans with only those who need to know. He is the true threat in Dorne, and this set gives us a version that is one to fear in a melee.
Vengeance… Justice… Fire and blood
This latest version of Doran Martell (The Grand Melee, 34) costs five gold, and for that we get three Strength, Intrigue and Power icons, a noble crest, and the Lord trait. As a result of his crippling gout, Doran has the No attachments keyword, so he's safe from the pesky Milk of the Poppy (Core Set, 145). His Vengeful nature can allow the Prince of Dorne to defend against a challenge and then stand after you lose. And when you lose, that is where Doran shines. His Response, the ability to discard a card from the hand of each opponent, is worth his cost in gold in melee games.
What this Doran brings to the game is not so much a "Revenge" mechanic, at which Martell already excels, but a deterrent, a card that makes your opponents want to avoid attacking you. Every challenge you lose as a defender hits the hand of every opponent. Will players want to attack you, knowing what the cost will be if they win? Or will they attack you intentionally, knowing that each of their opponents' will suffer the loss of a card from their hand?
Wise choices of the titles in a melee game can force your opponents to attack you. If you are the Crown Regent, you could redirect a challenge that would make you the only other legal target. Using Lord Commander, you can redirect a Military challenge at your House. Then, if you have Red Vengeance (Princes of the Sun, 25) in your hand, you can make your opponent fulfill the claim of the challenge… and discard a card as well. Throw in many of Martell's other Revenge cards–Taste for Blood (Princes of the Sun, 18), Ellaria Sand (Princes of the Sun, 7), and Aero Hotah (Princes of the Sun, 5)–and you may find yourself in a stronger position by losing the challenge. Since Doran doesn't have to kneel to trigger his Response, it can be triggered multiple times if you lose multiple challenges. Last, if the situation warrants it, you can use him to trigger Ghaston Grey (Forging the Chain, 34) and return a character to a player's hand.
During the chaos of battle in The Grand Melee, sometimes the threat that looks the weakest is actually the most dangerous. Doran Martell, for all his weakness, is one very strong character, and a force with which to be reckoned.
Thanks, Joe!

Daenerys and Bara Lords rejoice! A new target for Condemned by the Realm!
Ugh, that No Attachments keyword is annoying for Targ. Thank goodness for Hatchling Feast + Threat.
I see him just causing the players to keep military challenging you until he dies. Even with the discard.
Expensive or not, let's give Martell even more reasons to want to lose challenges!
I even like him in joust. More than that, I'm glad to see a Doran at last that I would actually play in one of my Martell decks. For such an integral character of the house in the books, he wasn't really well represented in the game until now, in my opinion.
wow...a little expensive but I like him (in melee).
