My question is, does a player have to start his turn on the Guardian of the Rift space, before he moves into the rift, or can he just move in with however many movement points he has left?
The Guardian of the Rift
Posted 27 March 2013 - 03:38 PM
Posted 27 March 2013 - 04:02 PM
Apologies, just found the rule that clarifies this for me.
Posted 28 March 2013 - 03:05 AM
Where was the rule at?
Posted 28 March 2013 - 03:57 AM
Near the end pf the rulebook it says that the text boxes in the Guardian of the Rift space, and the Space Hulk square take effect when you move through them. Makes it easier to get back to the outer tier, and means that you don't have to face two cunning threats just to get to the inner tier.
Also, just in case I'm not the only one who missed this, movement dice don't explode.
Posted 28 March 2013 - 04:46 AM
I hadn't seen that movement dice didn't explode, but didn't see anything saying they did either. Cool. Thanks!

Movement dice don't explode, page 20 under "exploding dice" it only says:
"If a player or enemy rolls a 6 result during a battle or skill test, even when rolling multiple dice, the die with a 6 result explodes…"
Hope that clears up confusion.
Also as for the guardian of the rift and space hulk space not only do they take effect when you move through them, but also when you start on them.
Posted 13 June 2013 - 01:21 AM
So lets say you are on a space in the middle tier next to the Guardian of the Rift space. You have a relic. For movement you throw a 2 or bigger.
You can just waltz in to the inner tier through the Guardian of the Rift space? No stopping? No takin care of some yellow threat tokens?
Where's the challenge? In fact the whole inner tier was a letdown. We played for the first time last night and it was the beginner scenario without any boss, but still there's no real challenge in the inner tier if your character is level capped and has a few nice relics.

Yep, threat tokens only come into play during Exploration Phase, but you pass into the inner tier during your Movement Phase.
MrHangman said:
Normally you'll have the eight influence and eight points of trophies (and are 8+ lvl), meaning you'll end up in the Palace of Slaanesh and have four spaces to go to reach the center. But sometimes you don't have the luxury of time to collect all those and instead have to go in there NOW. First ever game, UM Captain tried to rush it while only lvl 4, but ended losing his Reverent Fist in the Daemon World Braxas, which ended up seeing him fail at the Fortress of Khorne and get vanquished. Or today, Canoness had to enter the inner tier with neither influence or trophies and had to make a roll at Fortress of Khorne that had she failed, she would've been eliminated, but she passed and upon reaching the center with 1 life, defeated the Commissar in the Lost Flagship of St. Antias Scenario (aided greatly by the work of the Psyker, who was the first to reach the center, zapping off most of the Commissar's cunning). She could've also rolled worse at Chaos Titan Mals Furia and been eliminated sooner.
"A dirty mind is its own reward."
Posted 18 June 2013 - 09:22 PM
Last night I rushed this with a Level 1 Ordo Malleus Inquisitor. The way the events panned out, I found myself with a pile of Influence and extra life, and barely ever took on enemy threats. The event that lets you gain 2 corruption cards to gain +5 life came up, and finding myself on 9 life and with an early relic (the bones of the saint that drop off corruption) from free mission completions from cards (such as taking the pilgrim into the shrine world) I just thought "to hell with it" and dived in. My key Asset was Navigator, which let me slice through the middle tier in a single move.
I had 8 influence to spend exactly, and I had 8 power of trophies to spend exactly. I was nowhere near level 8 of course.
After that it was just stepping through the challenges, failing each one, missing a turn at the Tzeentch Maze, then stepping into the beyond.
The other players were hovering around Level 3-5 when I stepped into the centre board, though one determined leveller maxed out his levels while I was travelling in. It was all a bit anticlimactic though, as the only challenge that can actually slow your progress is the Tzeentch Maze, so by reaching the inner tier two turns earlier there was no way they could catch up.
The reason why it was so straightforward, of course, was the Mystery Beyond card being in the centre. Any other card in the centre of the board changes this picture completely, and makes early rushes much harder.

DDR-400 memory has been one of the most talked about memory standards since the introduction of DDR. While 400Mhz DDR memory still isn't a JEDEC endorsed standard, companies have already begun to release memory modules running at 400Mhz.
Recently we took a look at our first DDR-400 memory module, Kingmax's DDR-400 DDR SDRAM module - We now take a look at two other memory modules that have arrived in our labs and have tested them against a well known competitor, Corsair XMS3000.
Yes we do know that Corsair XMS3000 isn't DDR-400 rated, although many people have had excellent luck and bandwidth results with this memory, which is why we have used it as a mediator. So come with us as we see who will take the crown.

Update: This recipe has been updated, click here: Banana Pancakes with Maple Peanut Butter.
I spent a long time trying to find a healthy pancake recipe. You could simply substitute whole wheat flour for regular flour and they turn out decent, but I wanted more. Eventually I gave up the search and then one day I came across the famed cottage cheese page. On there was a simple recipe for cottage cheese pancakes, a highly unexpected ingredient. With some tweaking, I believe I have created the world's healthiest pancakes!
3/4 cup egg substitute or egg whites
1 cup oats (regular or instant)
1 cup 1% or nonfat cottage cheese with salt
1 medium banana, ripe
dash of cinnamon
blueberries (optional)
chopped nuts (optional)
dark chocolate chips (optional)
Place all ingredients into a blender and puree. Add any optional ingredients and pour onto a hot skillet. Smaller pancakes are easier to flip. I like to top mine with a spread of my homemade Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter and topped with defrosted strawberries with the extra juice on top. These are what get me up in the morning. Makes 15 (3″) pancakes

This morning i wanted to play around with firePHP a bit. And wanted to install the PEAR package. When i found out i didn't have PEAR running on my local (win32 xp) box. So off to the pear install. The first thing i notice was that PEAR now is packaged as a nice PHAR file (PHP 5.2.6) . So i hoped the install process would be smoother then normally. This was not the case. First thing i did was run the go-pear.bat file. Which resulted in an error.
phar "[path]go-pear.phar" does not have a signature Warning: require_once(phar://go-pear.phar/index.php): failed to open stream: pha r "[path]go-pear.phar" does not have a signature in [path]\PEAR\go-pear.phar on line 1236
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'phar://go-pear.phar/index. php' (include_path='.;[path][path]\PEAR') in [path]\PEAR\go-pear.phar on line 1236
Ok. So that didn't work out like i wanted. I checked the go-pear.bat file. And copied the command to windows command line. This resulted in the same error. So i thought. Let's try this from the PEAR directory. cd PEAR and let's try that again.
php.exe -d phar.require_hash=0 go-pear.phar
Now the PEAR install runs fine.
For more information about PEAR, see:
http://pear.php.net/faq.php http://pear.php.net/manual/
Thanks for using go-pear!

Although this solution seems to have resolved the problem for me. Cal Evans has a good post how to resolve this issue as well. My workaround didn't solve the problem for Cal but his did for me. So here's the link

My daughter has always done well at school. Last year she had a poor teacher and didn't learn what she should have. This year she is in a new school and doesn't seem to care about doing well. Gifts and begging don't motivate her. She has to re-do all her incorrect work, and even THAT doesn't seem to work. She is in second grade, a grade that I loved, so I just don't understand. She is smart but I do not believe she is bored with the material.
Can I reshape her view of school? How can I convey the importance of learning? Ideas? Thanks. |

Goodness it could truly be a number of things! First of all with all due respect, it's never a good idea to 'bribe" kids with gifts in order to make them do better in school. School is something that they have to do, the reward is in the knowledge she gains and is able to use in all aspects of life!:) My son had an AWFUL teacher last year for third grade, he lost interest too, and WAS bored, he didn't care about homework or anything else either. In our case it was the teacher. There are a number of books available on children and education in your local library, try the author Alfie Kohn, he has 3 very educational and eye opening books about our children and school, and he touches on problems as well. Have you discussed this with her new teacher yet? Maybe time is of the essence too here, maybe she needs to get back into the swing of things after a rough year last time!!:) Try the books, really, there are many ideas and possibilities to explore with this, and related books should be near by! Best of luck and don't give up, she's still young!:) |

I think a talk with the teacher is in order. Eliminate all distractions--weekday TV, but allow weekend if you want. Compliment her on work well done. What is the attitude of her friends toward school work? Attitudes are contagious. |
What worked for us was getting a tutor. You can call your local high school and they will recommend one of their top students usually at $25/hr. It's amazing how quick they will turn around and start getting the good grades, but even more importantly, they will start taking pride in their work again. ...just a thought. |

I hope it's going better for your daughter. I can't help but think that the move to a new school is probably traumatic on her along with not knowing the material. Hiring a tutor is a good idea as well as inviting a couple of girls from her new school to your house for a get to know each other party. Don't bribe her with things, that rarely works to their benefit. Get involved in the school in every way possible so, she knows that you're a part of her new and scary environment. Look at it from her point of view. She's very young, moved to a new school, probably doesn't know anyone there, doesn't know the material, and you're expecting her to redo work that she doesn't understand. She's not feeling good about all this and her only retort is "So!". If she were a teenager, you would have to think something was up with her. She's just younger, that's all. Take it easy, don't get frustrated, and hire someone to help her. High school kids are more than competent to do the tutoring for a lot less and will be a lot more comfortable for your daughter. Good luck! |
Why was the teacher awful? Be specific |
Flowergirl has a good point. Children should not be rewarded for doing what they are supposed to to. Working hard and getting good grades is not an option. It is LAW. At least it is in this house. Everybody has responsibilities, even children. Her responsibilities are to do well in school and do her chores. When one does not fulfill her responsibilities, there are consequences. My son was not doing well at the beginning of last year. So I made a new rule, 1 hour of homework, every day, wether he has homework or not, until his grades went up. I copied worksheets from the net that where grade appropriate and related the work he was currently doing in school. Also a lot of reading comprehension sheets where he had to read a short essay and then answer questions about it. Then, I had his teachers send home a weekly progress report that listed all assignments and his grade for that assignment. One semester of that and he was on the honor roll. I backed off on our nightly sessions, but continued getting the weekly progress reports. Any week he came back with a poor grade on his progress report he had a week of nightly sessions with mom. That only happened a couple of times. I guess he prefered to do the job right the first time and play outside after school then sit at the dining room table with me. Kay. |

Proposed California Law Would Mandate Smartphone Kill Switch
Re:No... (252 comments)
Here's the thing, not every area of the country has the same air pollution issues. So why, they argued, do we need ultra clean cars? In response, the national legislature set minimum standards and also said states could choose to require the more stringent California standards.
Many states with air pollution problems chose to do this (13+DC). So it is still decided by the national legislature and individual state legislatures (via delegation to administrative bodies). There is no representation issue.
For other products this regime doesn't exist. It's still not a representation issue, though, when a company chooses to release products that only follow California standards. That is simply the manufacturer making a business decision.

The question of whether there could still be liquid water somewhere on Mars today is one of the most debated in planetary science, and now there is new evidence that there just might be. The findings were announced today, February 10, 2014, by scientists from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
The new results have to do with features on the Martian surface called "recurring slope lineae" (RSL), which are dark, narrow streaks on some slopes which flow downhill and can reoccur in the same locations over and over again. They tend to form during periods of warmer temperatures and look like small rivulets of water running downhill, but is that what they really are?
"We still don't have a smoking gun for existence of water in RSL, although we're not sure how this process would take place without water," said Lujendra Ojha, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. He is the lead author of two new reports about the unusual flows.
In order to try and determine if these streaks are indeed water-related, Ojha and colleague James Wray examined RSLs at 13 known locations using images from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
While not yet finding the spectral signature of water or salts, they did find them for ferric and ferrous iron-bearing minerals. The minerals are more abundant in the slope streaks and so thought to be left over from whatever process created the streaks. Two possible explanations are related to these, and both involve water: an increase in the more-oxidized (ferric) component of the minerals, or an overall darkening due to moisture, just like you see with wet sand or dirt. It is also possible that fine dust is being removed from the surface, which could involve either a wet process or a dry one.
According to Ojha, "Just like the RSL themselves, the strength of the spectral signatures varies according to the seasons. They're stronger when it's warmer and less significant when it's colder."
As to why water itself wasn't detected yet, the spectral observations might easily miss them since the dark flows are much narrower than the area of ground sampled by CRISM.
The most likely explanation for the RSLs according to scientists though is still near-surface briny water or ice, which, during warmer periods, could leak out at the top of slopes and remain liquid long enough in the cold and thin atmosphere to flow down the slopes.
"The flow of water, even briny water, anywhere on Mars today would be a major discovery, impacting our understanding of present climate change on Mars and possibly indicating potential habitats for life near the surface on modern Mars," said Richard Zurek, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project Scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

Hotel Lamee, Vienna, Austria |
Thursday 10 Jan 2013
Only a few steps away from St. Stephen's Cathedral, at Rotenturmstraße 15, in Vienna this charming hotel, run with a special passion and commitment, offers its guests an elegant stay in one of the most culturally rich cities of our times.
It is a modern interpretation of the concept of the grand hotel and brings together a diverse, cosmopolitan atmosphere with a multifaceted flair - and a great deal of Viennese charm. The building was constructed in 1934-35 as a slender rising and cubically exaggerated acknowledgement of the times in the centre of Vienna. This unique cultural testimony is alsothe primary theme of the interior design: Vienna of the 1930s.
With 22 luxurious rooms and 10 spectacular suites with a view of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Hotel LAMÉE conjures up intimacy and discretion paired with comfortable ease and finesse.
Spacious rooms with honey-coloured shimmering walls, warm light and playfully differentiated high-gloss Makassar wood panelling with upscale tassels and brass profiles give the rooms a comfortable cosiness and create a glamorous atmosphere at the same time.
The furniture and details have also been chosen in deference to the worldliness of that time - but also refer to the culture of the present and the distinctive Vienna in whose cosmopolitan and sophisticated spirit the building was constructed, incorporating its use of forms, features and design.
An elegant leather commode with an integrated TV stand completes of the luxurious character of the room in a surprising yet unexcited way.
The atmospherically designed bathrooms complete a pleasurable stay in the Lamée.
The symbiosis of design and low energy consumption is unique amongst the hotels in the centre of Vienna.
Hotel LAMÉE is a low-energy building type A with heat energy consumption of less than 25 kWh/m²a and cooling energy consumption of less than 0.33 kWh/m³a. The heating and cooling of the building take place via a groundwater well and a controlled ventilation system (perfect for comfort) with highly efficient heat recovery from the exhaust air. Special emphasis is also laid on the use of colour and light (near-natural light spectrum using LED technology).

Many Subtle Channels: In Praise of Potential Literature
By Daniel Levin Becker
Harvard University Press, 352 pages, $27.95
It takes a certain kind of literary genius to explain rapper Fabolous's lyrics using ancient Greek rhetorical devices. Best known for his 2001 song "Young'n (Holla Back)" — now an unintended time capsule for the long forgotten two-way pager — Fabolous has never been accused of lyric virtuosity. Yet there it was, in the pages of The Believer, one of America's most important literary magazines: a review analyzing Fabolous through the paraprosdokian, "a rhetorical device where the end of a sentence compels a re-parsing of the beginning." According to the reviewer, Daniel Levin Becker, the lyric "I'm raw, dog" ("which initially glosses as 'I'm redoubtable, homey'") is revealed by the end of the line to mean "raw dog," a euphemism for unprotected sex. The review is funny and playfully erudite, though by the time it ends you wonder if Fabolous is as clever as his interpreter.
Levin Becker, reviews editor of the Believer (and, full disclosure, a former high school classmate of mine), appears to appreciate Fabolous's lyricism sincerely. What he appreciates, however, is not Fabolous's ability to tell a story, but the swagger of disconnected phrases and rhetorical taunts. As an interpreter, Levin Becker is less concerned with a writer's moral force, or with the arguments of a text, than he is with the intricacies of language. He has the kind of literary mind that revels in anagrams, puzzles and uncovering the hidden, near-mathematical formulae behind certain works of art. Levin Becker's new book, "Many Subtle Channels," is about this kind of literary genius.
Strictly speaking, "Many Subtle Channels" is a book about the Oulipo (an abbreviation for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle), a post-1960 French literary movement best known in this country (if it is known at all) for Georges Perec's 1969 novel, "La Disparition," translated into English as "A Void." As Levin Becker explains, the idea driving the Oulipo is that imposing restraints can paradoxically unlock creativity. "La Disparition" is a lipogram, meaning it is missing one or more letters of the alphabet — in this case, "e." (There is also a sequel, "Les Revenentes," whose only vowel is "e.")
Another prominent oulipian form is the beau présent, an ode that contains only the letters in the subject's name. Constraints don't need to be linguistic. The idea behind Perec's "The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise" (1968), was "to write a text based on an office flowchart." Such restrictions not only force writers to become more attuned to their language, but also generate literary possibilities where none existed before.
While oulipian demands frequently sound arbitrary, there is nothing trivial about this type of literary endeavor. At the end of a section on public workshops, where readers can learn to make their own oulipian works, Levin Becker writes: [D]rawing attention to oulipian constraint… is not a question of exposing the structure so that it can be used again, or even so that it can be admired: it's a question of making you, the reader, aware of your own effort and engagement, of putting you in control, of diminishing the distance between finding and making.

Hi I originally posted on Gulf Coast Forum but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity :) so am reposting here in hopes that the vines questions apply. Thanks! Lafitte LA-So. of N.O. Any help is most appreciated! Delphiniums-when is best time to plant seeds? How fast will Carolina Jessamine/Jasmine grow here? Just planted 6 from Lowes. They are abour 18" high now. When do I trim a Confederate Jamine? This one is about 3-5 years old and not big-i don;t know what is wrong with it? Never been trimmed. Any suggestions on some type of home mixed flower potting soil that I can make? i need a lot-like 30 large bags of it. I hate dollar weeds. Thanks for any help! |

I wish I could help you but I have not ever grown any one of those vining plants. I hope someone can offer advice. Are you buying plants or growing from seeds? |

Thank you for replying! I am growing from seeds. |
I find using google browser a quick way to get information on growing plants. Here's a page I found on growing Carolina Jasmine from the Floridata web site (see link below). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Carolina Jasmine info from Floridata

Yesterday I was out in the "xeric garden", which is the front southwest corner of my lot next to the sidewalk. It is a hot, dry garden. I'm growing some Asclepias tuberosa, a few A. curasssavica seedlings, and there is some A. syriaca common milkweed that planted itself. Last year I registered as a Monarch waystation, purchased a sign, and installed the sign in this garden. That way, people can read the sign as they pass by on the sidewalk.
I was poking around the garden, and nearly fell over when I looked down and there was a 2nd instar Monarch cat on the tip of one of the common Milkweeds!! I collected the little guy, and searched the other milkweeds in the yard. Found a 2nd little 2nd instar cat on the wild milkweed in back. I'm about 20 miles northwest of Boston. The earliest I have seen Monarchs here is mid-July. Last year they didn't show up until mid-August. Obviously a female came through the area in the last 7-14 days! If I'd had any idea, I would have looked for more eggs/cats much sooner. :) |

Exciting news! I hope you get lots and lots of caterpillars, and raise lots of Monarchs this year. This butterfly has had a hard time recently. Sandy |

Yeah!!!!!! Congrats! |
Congrats terrene! Wish you the best of luck. It has been a weird season so far. Like you, I never normally see an adult Monarch until August. This year, I have already raised and released 34 adults, and my milkweeds have been covered with cats.~~Angie |

Woohoo!! How wonderful! 'Nothing like caterpillars and butterflies to add excitement to one's life! Sherry |
Thanks guys! My caterpillar raising is ramping up! 2 Monarch cats and 1 BST (who is acting very pokey and not progressing past 2nd instar). It seems that Monarchs are in an unusual migration pattern this year. Hopefully they will be adaptable and find milkweed whereever they go! The common Milkweed in this area is big and budding, so they is plenty of food for cats. Maybe I'll have more than the usual # of Monarchs this year? X my fingers |

Congrats Terrene! Hopefully their early start will mean they'll produce more generations this summer before heading south. I've had evidence of cats on my common milkweed but haven't been able to find any yet this summer. |

Christie, try searching inside the green flower buds or check the smallest seedlings you can find. Those are two of their best hiding places from predators. Good luck, Tony |

Quantum probabilities are generated by quantum states. But if neither quantum states nor Born probabilities describe or represent physical reality, then how can we use them to explain what happens? An otherwise puzzling phenomenon is explained when it is seen to be just what one should have expected. In accepting quantum theory one takes it as one's guide in forming beliefs in statements about values of magnitudes (NQMC)s. Quantum theory first licenses one to form degrees of belief only in certain (NQMC)s in a given situation, based on an assessment of the relevant degree of decoherence. A quantum state then advises adoption of specific degrees of belief in appropriately licensed (NQMC)s equal to Born probabilities. Given these beliefs, a corresponding statistical distribution of magnitude values will (almost always) be just what one would have expected. That is how we use quantum theory to explain statistical regularities, whether we know about these through experimental measurements or by observation of natural events. (It is, for example, how we can use quantum theory to explain violation of Bell inequalities without any "spooky" action at a distance).

[show]Character Biography Edit
Early Years Edit
Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born. When Ororo was seven months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. At the age of five, during a bombing in an Arab-Israeli Conflict, a plane crashed into their home.
Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today. Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed el-Gibar. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant and Ororo used the opportunity to escape. Years later, feeling a strong urge to wander south, Ororo left Cairo. During her travels, Ororo naively accepted a ride from a complete stranger and was almost raped by him. Forced to defend herself, Ororo killed the man. From that moment, she swore never to take another human life. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Her mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue T'Challa, a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, from his would-be kidnappers. The pair spent much time together, however T'Challa's duties as a prince prevented them from further exploring their burgeoning mutual attraction. Finally, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. She was taken in by an elderly tribal woman named Ainet who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift.
The X-Men Edit
Years later, Ororo was forced to battle the threat of a fellow mutant weather manipulator known as Deluge, who sought revenge against humanity. With the help of several members of the team of mutant heroes known as the X-Men, Deluge was seemingly destroyed and Ororo returned to her life amongst the tribal people. The X-Men subsequently told their founder, Professor Xavier, about Storm but he declined to contact her at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers. Months later, however, Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being known as Krakoa. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a "goddess," but a mutant, and as such she had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world just as she had helped the local tribes. Curious, Ororo accepted Xavier's offer, and was given the codename "Storm." After most of the original team left for a time, Ororo, along with fellow new recruits Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, and Banshee, stayed as members of the new X-Men. Storm remained with the X-Men for years, and encountered adversaries such as Proteus, Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Juggernaut, demons from the dimension of Limbo, and even Dracula on one occasion. Storm was initially very naive when it came to the customs of the modern world, but her team mate Jean Grey helped educate her in the ways of society and the pair formed a lasting friendship. Jean was also one of the first X-Men to learn of Storm's claustrophobia after the two women chased a thief into the subway.
Leader Edit
After serving with the team for many years, Storm was appointed leader of the team following the departure of former leader Cyclops after the apparent death of Jean. Storm was initially unsure about her new role, but with the support of her team-mates she soon became a capable leader. When Cyclops eventually returned to the team, Storm found herself doubting her leadership abilities once more after a mission she led went wrong. However, she soon asserted her position, reminding Cyclops that she was now team leader. Later, after the X-Men were captured and taken into space by the insectoid alien race known as the Brood, Storm fought back but her powers flared out of control. She discovered that she had been implanted with a Brood egg that would hatch and transform her into one of the aliens. Not wanting to unleash such an evil into the world, Storm attempted to commit suicide by channeling all of the surrounding stellar energy into her own body, destroying the Brood embryo but leaving her drifting unprotected in space. She would have died in the vacuum had it not been for a member of the Acanti, a race of spacefaring whale-like creatures that had been enslaved by the Brood. The Acanti that saved Storm was revealed to be the caretaker of the soul of his entire race who had lost his mother to the Brood and needed guidance. Storm agreed to let her consciousness guide the young Acanti whilst it healed her damaged body, and, after the Brood were defeated, a restored Storm returned home with the X-Men. Soon after, the X-Men encountered the underground community of mutants known as the Morlocks who had kidnapped one of their former members, Angel. To save her friends, Storm challenged the Morlock leader Callisto to a duel and bested her in hand-to-hand combat. As a result, Storm became leader of the Morlocks and she ordered them to cease their hostilities against the surface-dwelling humans. When the X-Men later traveled to Japan to attend the wedding of their team member Wolverine, Storm first met the ninja named Yukio. A friend of Wolverine's, Yukio was the most carefree spirit that Ororo had ever met and the two became lovers. Yukio influenced a major rebellious change in Storm's attitude towards life, and she took to wearing leather and shaved her hair into a Mohawk.
Powerless/Forge Edit
Storm later had her powers accidentally neutralized by a gun invented by the mutant machinist named Forge, who took it upon himself to nurse Storm back to health. During her convalescence, Storm and Forge fell in love but their relationship was cut short after Storm learned Forge had created the device that stripped her of her powers. Storm subsequently quit the X-Men and returned to Africa where she finally came to terms with losing her mutant ability. their friends and families from their many enemies, the X-Men must fake their deaths and become an underground proactive strike force. Soon Storm realized that she needed her powers restored and so she sought out Forge for his help. She found Forge's old mentor Naze instead, who informed her that Forge had been corrupted by his nemesis, the Adversary, and was seeking to destroy the world. Unbeknown to Storm, the Adversary had actually corrupted Naze. When Storm finally located Forge, she found him atop a mountain seemingly opening a dimensional portal filled with demons. Storm struck Forge down, and only then realized he had been attempting to close the portal, not open it. The Adversary then trapped Storm and Forge in the other dimension and seized control of Dallas, warping time and space in order to foment chaos on Earth. Storm and Forge spent a year on an alternate Earth, during which time they made peace and admitted their love for one another. Forge used components from his cybernetic leg to fashion a new device that restored Storm's powers which she then used to energize a portal back to their own world.
They rejoined the X-Men in time to defeat the Adversary, imprisoning him at the cost of their own lives. However, the Omniversal Guardian named Roma restored the X-Men to life, freeing the Adversary under the notion that there could be no order without chaos. Soon after, Storm was captured by the crazed scientist known as Nanny who sought to use Storm's abilities in her quest to liberate the world's super-powered children by making orphans of them. Nanny used her technology to de-age Storm to her pre-teens and strip her memories so as to better sway the mutant to her cause. However, Storm fought back and overloaded Nanny's device. Once more a child with no memories of her life as an X-Man, the young Storm returned to her life as a thief. On one caper, she found herself the target of the psychic being known as the Shadow King but was saved by a fellow mutant and thief named Gambit. The pair formed a partnership and, after Storm regained her memories, she took Gambit to meet the X-Men. Storm was eventually restored to adulthood after the X-Men were captured by agents of the island nation of Genosha who used mutants as slaves. Storm underwent the mutate transformation process, however the Genoshan Genegineer and Chief Magistrate were members of a rebel faction. They restored Storm's body and mind, and the X-Men were able to defeat their aggressors.
Soon after, the X-Men were reformed into two separate strike teams, with Cyclops and Storm as co-leaders. Forge aided both teams as their resident technician, however this left little time for them to rekindle their relationship. Forge still asked Storm to marry him, but she hesitated on giving a reply. Forge was left thinking she did not truly love him and he left before she could respond with a "yes." Months later, the eternal mutant Apocalypse made a bid for power by gathering together rest of her life. When the clock reached 18 seconds Doom threatened to kill the Queen mother. She is saved because someone jumped in her place to stop the bullet. But at the cost of his life. Storm finally manages to unlock the first lock. Later Storm tells Doom that the second lock isn't mechanical and it's beyond her skill to open it. Storm tells Doom that T'challa will kill him for this. Doom tells Storm how T'challa and he have been even for many years. Like two master chess players. But Doom has become victorious and declares that T'challa is a defeated man. Doom sees the final lock and it reads "Only through purity encumbered by pretense may you pass." Storm scoffs at Doom telling him that is one lock that even he will be able to open.
After a long and treacherous battle T'challa finally reaches Doom and Storm. Doom threatened to kill Storm unless he opens the last lock to the vibranium vault. It is revealed that Doom was bluffing and never intended on killing Storm. He just wanted to see what T'challa would do. After Doom gets past the third lock it is seen on the vault door "checkmate". When inside the vault the purity message is seen again. Doom understands it and begins to strip so nothing may stand in his way. He tells the vault that he is ready to be judged. Suddenly massive amounts of electricity begin attacking Doom. It is later revealed that the electricity was actually the Panther God transporting Doom to be judged. The Panther God wonders why Doom would even seek this test. All of the souls that have been lost by his hands. Back to the present. Storm and Sue go to take on the military guards that are holding the news reporters captive. Reed asks Sue why is she going as back up to Storm. Sue replies she just wants to watch. It is revealed that Doom passes the test, because the Panther God saw that the only way humanity has a chance to flourish is under the hand of Doom in his "Doom World".
During the events of Schism, Storm orginally wishes to leave Utopia, as she thinks Cyclops only wants her to stay for the use of her powers. Cyclops approaches her before she leaves and tells he needs her to help control the former villains that are staying on his side. Storm then picks Utopia and decides to stay.
Avengers VS X-MenEdit
During the events of Avengers Vs X-Men, Storm who also is an Avenger sides with her fellow mutants in protecting Hope. In doing so, she turns against her own husband, a fellow Avenger and the Black Panther. She asks Black Panther why he didn't tell her of the Avengers' actions, to which he retorts why didn't she tell him about the X-Men's. She retorts back this is why they need a marriage counselor before unleashing a volley of lightning.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Storm has been stated to be a potential Omega-Level mutant,[1][2] and to be an Alpha-Level Mutant.[3][4]

- Atmokinesis: Several times in the past, Storm has been described as a "sculptress". This is (arguably) the best way to describe her mutant mastery over weather, and certain forms of energy. When Storm uses her psionic powers, she sees the world as colorful, constantly changing energy patterns, rather than solid matter. These energy patterns can be "molded" to Storm's will to create a vast number of effects which mainly deal with weather manipulation. Storm is greatly in tune with nature and the elements. She can feel them, and likewise they react to her emotional state. She can manipulate weather patterns on a variety of scales, including the ability to summon large and violent thunderstorms and blizzards, as well as sleet and hail. Storm can also use the weather as a weapon. She can summon lightning bolts from the sky that can be used to blind, stun, or severely burn her opponents even to the point of death. She can also use this ability as a concussive force. Even strong enough to affect beings as strong as the Silver Surfer.
- Flight: She has the ability to fly by gliding on wind currents. She can also move objects or other people with the wind or create a dome of air pressure to deflect attacks. Storm's power over air pressure has also been used to crush powerful objects such as skrull warships. She has even created pressure (on earth) higher than that found on Jupiter. Storm's powers grant her the ability to fly as high as the atmosphere can be stretched by using her mastery over wind. She can even carry other people with her.
- Energy Manipulation: When using her powers, Storm becomes one with the energy patterns she manipulates. This gives her the ability to project weather effects through her body. For instance, she can generate lightning, intense cold, and intense heat, from her hands rather than from her actual atmosphere. Her power over thunder has been used to create deafening sounds for distracting her enemies. She can create powerful tornadoes, hurricanes, and various winds that are capable of moving a vast number of objects/people including levitating an entire building, and sending the Hulk soaring away from her and her teammates. Her ability over water and its forms has been shown by her creating heavy rainfall, and instant floods that have even "washed" away savage land dinosaurs. Control over moisture and temperature allows Storm to freeze/flash freeze objects and people in the blink of an eye.
In fact, when she once lost control of her powers, Storm was in danger of creating another world-wide ice age. She can also generate heat as strong as the earth allows. Storm can control the weather vocally too. On several occasions she has spoken to the weather like a general to her army and the weather obeys. Storm's powers change when she enters a different planet or dimension. In deep space, if close to a star, she can manipulate solar winds. If far from a star, it would take strong concentration to use this power, so, she can almost always depend on her lightning wherever she goes. Storm's ability to adapt to her environment isn't limited to large bodies of water either, as she has manipulated ocean currents similarly to how she manipulates the wind. She can summon clouds and fog to provide cover and obscure the view of her enemies. Storm has also shown that, when drastically overwhelmed, she can become a being with lightning for hair, and breath of fire and ice.
Due to very good training from an early age, Storm can use her powers to set many weather patterns out of place to perform/create exotic feats/effects, and then set them back from where she got them from, putting weather patterns back to their natural state. Thus, she can disperse any Storm she generates as long as she uses her powers wisely, considering the fact that it's easy for her to create weather, but more challenging to disperse it, or, "clear it up". However, Storm may have more to her power arsenal than she shows, as she not only generated unnatural pressure on earth, but also manipulated (and intensified) plasma while in the earth's atmosphere.
- Weather Resistance: She seems unaffected by the weather, including lightning and temperature. While in the past, Storm has been attacked with (and harmed) by lightning/electric blasts she hasn't created herself, and almost overheated due to trying to adjust to violent weather, it appears that the more experienced she gets, the less the weather seems to harm her, both indirectly, and directly. This is further shown by her being able to reverse/counter electrically based attacks.
During her brief stint with the Fantastic Four, she hosted the consciousness of the abstract entity Eternity within her own mind, enabling Dr. Strange to perform a mystical surgery on the dying entity. According to Strange, he and she were the only ones present with the strength of spirit to survive hosting Eternity. The other heroes present were Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, the Thing, Black Panther, and Silver Surfer.
- Earth-Link: Storm's mutant powers has created a psychic bond between herself and the primal life force of Earth's biosphere. This bond with the Earth and apparently the entire universe, gives Storm spiritual and material sustenance with an almost empathic sense towards living thing. Her bond with the biospheres while in outer space somehow allowed her to reverse her transformation into a brood queen, summon a solar flare and the ability and call upon a large amount of cosmic energy.
She can disperse natural storms so as to create clear weather. Storm can cause a beam-like path from her hand or hands. Her control over the atmosphere is such that she can create certain effects over a specific area, while shielding smaller areas within the larger area from them for example she could create a rainstorm around herself but prevent rain water from touching her.
She has diverted jet streams so as to create storms over the entire East Coast of the United States. (AN: It should be noted that Storm has on two occasions tapped into electromagnetic energy to enhance her powers. Once to stop a blizzard over Canada and second to create a cosmic-level turbulence around the Earth to block solar radiation. She can create weather effects within indoor areas or within artificially maintained environments: for example she could create an indoor rainstorm. She can create weather effects over very small areas; as when she water her potted plants.Using her precise control over air she has even been shown to control the very air in a persons lungs.
Abilities Edit
Expert Thief: Extraordinary ability at picking locks and pockets, escape artist; therefore, she is very stealthy and good at sneaking up on people.
Expert Combatant: She is an experienced hand-to-hand combatant, trained by Wolverine. She is also an extraordinary marksman with handguns.
Expert Gardener: Ororo is also an excellent gardener owing to her supernatural abilities and has her own botanical gardens at the Xavier Mansion.
High Influential Connections: As Queen of Wakanda, Storm has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, technological and military hardware (including Vibranium), as well as the support of the nation's wide array of scientists, adventurers, and superheroes.
Diplomatic Immunity: As the leader of a sovereign nation, Storm often visits the United States or the United Nations for political reasons. She enjoys diplomatic immunity during these trips, and her embassy is considered foreign soil.
Weaknesses Edit
Claustrophobia: Having been trapped under rubble for three days while her mother lay dying, Storm's claustrophobia was once so severe, it rendered her completely helpless. However, she has more or less conquered her fear, though tight spaces still make her uncomfortable.
Emotional Influence: Storm's ability to manipulate the weather in her immediate vicinity is affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. As a result, Storm has in the past kept a tight rein on all extreme emotions.
Physical Condition: Storm is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to put an end to a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly killed herself from exhaustion in the process.
Naturally Occurring Limitation: Storm must manipulate weather patterns as they naturally exist. For example, she could end a drought in one area by creating torrential rains there, but that would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding area. (In contrast, Thor, whose weather affecting ability is magical, can change the weather in one area without disrupting existing weather patterns anywhere else). Storm cannot create atmospheric conditions that cannot exist naturally on the planet she is on. She could not, for example, lower temperatures as far as absolute zero or raise them to solar intensities.
Astral Projection: In the Astral Plane, Storm's powers are useless as they exist in her body, not her spiritual essence.
Paraphernalia Edit
Equipment Edit
Storm often carries lock picks. Also formerly a knife for protection when she lost her powers.
Transportation Edit
X-Men Blackbird, formerly X-Men Stratojet
Weapons Edit
Keeps a large knife and staff for necessary occasions
Stormcaster (Formely)
Trivia Edit
- Storm was formerly in a serious relationship with Forge.
- Storm lost her virginity to Black Panther, at age 12.
- Storm is claustrophobic due to her traumatic childhood experiences in Cairo.
- Ororo is best friends with Jean Grey.
- Storm was originally conceived by Dave Cockrum as "the Black Cat", a character who could transform into a feline creature or a house cat. The character was shelved for a time, along with the rest of new X-Men project, and ultimately made redundant by the large number of cat-themed characters that had been introduced in the interim. When the project resumed, it was decided that the team needed another female character, and Roy Thomas suggested replacing the weather-controlling Typhoon with a female equivalent. Cockrum then quickly outline the idea for Storm, leaving the Black Cat costume unchanged but changing the character's hair from brunette to white.
- The name "Ororo" means "Beauty"
- During the DC Vs Marvel crossover event, Storm was pitted against Wonder Woman of the DC Universe. While Wonder Woman had the advantage in the fight when it came to combat, Storm basically was able to electrecute Wonder Woman with her use of weather manipulation. In doing so, she expressed regret for her actions, calling Wonder Woman her sister and picking her up and carrying her off the field of battle.
- In the Marvel Comics limited series GeNext, Ororo is the mother of a daughter, Becka Munroe.
- Being the first black female character to have a major role in Marvel Comics, Storm is a historically important character. She is one of the most iconic and successful black characters in comic book history.
Storm appears in the movies X-Men (2000), X2: X-Men United (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) as one of the main characters, played by Halle Berry. Storm also appeared in a deleted scene of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).

This is a HG products. I had issues with itchy skin (prob due to yeast infection) and need a lotion to sooth the red blotchy area. The prdt instantly did the job. And it does not aggravated my pimpled back... In fact the pimple out brk become lesser and my back look more clear. I used it on the face as well before apply other jurlique prdrts. It is a must have for me. Skin is soft to touch in the morning and the pleasant rose smell relaxes ur body for a good night sleep. Must buy.
First of all, the packaging is really annoying. The dripper dispenser is ridiculous! I have to shake that thing like crazy just to get a small amount out.
Aside from the packaging, the rose oil smells amazing! So far, I've tried applying it directly to my body - though gave up after just my arms because of the packaging situation. Also, I've tried shaking some into my bath. I've found the bath method MUCH better! It clings on to my skin and leaves a lighter scent on the skin. As amazing as it smells, it's a bit too strong when applied directly.
Overall, it moisturizes well and is very relaxing. The only downside is the price tag and annoying bottle. Either way, I'll be using this in my baths for a nice treat. :)
That rose oil is good, it is kinda relaxing when you apply it on skin, and followed with a little massage.
Except the really strong smell of rose that could be a problem to some people, I found this product is quite nice to put on, my skin absorbs it quite fast, since my skin on my body is quite dry.
I don't know if its me or not, this product hydrates me one night and then the next day morning my skin seems a bit dry again(not as bad as I don't use this oil).
I don't find it sticky or leave any residue on my clothing, which is good for me. I would probably recommend this product to people who want a body massage other than a body hydrator.
This is nice. Unfortunately you don't get much for the amount you pay and originally I thought it smelt like cheap talc but It's grown on me and is very luxurious. Makes your skin feel divine. I'll be making my own version rose, jasmine and jojoba I think, as I cannot justify spending that amount of money!
divine! a nice splurge if you have dry skin. I use it everyday in winter and as a massage oil in summer. it sinks in quickly, which is important since i hate greasy residue. it is worth the money.
this is great!, one must to have in winter season or if you have dry skin. Smell as real roses!!, but is expensive...i try also dr.hauschka but it have a very soft aroma, and made with peanut oil, totallly different, i prefer Jurlique...
This is one of my favorite product in the Jurlique Line. Makes my skin so soft and well moisturized. And the smell is so wonderful.
Can be used on face too. I always massage this oil on my face before having a mask, significantly enhance the result.
Will always keep it in my bathroom.
i love love love this body oil! i got it first time when i travelled to Melbourne as being told it's a great local brand, since then i've just fallen in love with the superb oil. My skin cant get any softer after massage this on, no greasy at all. and the smell is divine!
However, the only problem i have to complain is... it's sold quite expensive here in london, almost double the price sold in AUS (duty free). But i will buy it again for sure! lol
Gorgeous-smelling, non-greasy oil that can be used on the body and the face. It spreads easily (although I took out the stopper because I found that with it in the product didn't come out easily enough and when it did it splashed everywhere), absorbs easily and doesn't leave any residue. The smell is true to the rose flower, lasts for hours and is very subtle. I'd happily repurchase.
More reviews by nutsaboutmakeup
Absolutely LOVE this! I love rose scents so i had to pick this to try when i was looking for something to help the skin flaking on my body. It goes on so light on my body. Unlike Aesop's Rose oil, there is no need to leave body damp etc.; spreads easily over body (i use half the amount of this compared to the aesop one), doesnt feel sticky or like there's something coating my skin & no bad reactions. The smell remains till the next day I occasionally get wifts of rose when I go about the day. I love to layer this with the rose shower gel.

I just received my first order of a couple of Passifloras from Butterfly World. I must say, for the listing to be for "seedling plants", they were astounding. They are both in 3 inch planters with full root zones. One has almost 3 feet of growth, and the other has much less length but has more apical growth and actually TWO plants! WOOHOO! I'm jazzed.
Granted, their selection is extremely limited, but it is quite diverse. Just thought I would let my fellow Passiflora freaks of the world know, in case anyone has been thinking about it, but hasn't made the plunge. Happy Gardening!

Butterfly World's selection on site is much more extensive then their online catalog and the plants on site are even bigger and less expensive. You should see their gardens. It's just gorgeous. I was last there in late Feb and would have bought plants and shipped them ahead but temps at home were well below freezing and I was afraid to mail them, even with heat packs. BTW the Passiflora Society International holds meetings there. |
I went to their website (I think!), but could not find where to purchase their plants - can someone post a link, or even better, email it to me? Thanks! |
Just go to the gift shop. |

Hi, Thanks for posting this. It is really hard to find passion flower seeds and plants in Illinois. This looks like a good source! |

The Hour Approaches
Arkham Nights begins next week, but you can still pre-register! |
Arkham Nights | Published 12 October 2010 |
I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places.
- H.P. Lovecraft, "Nyarlathotep"
It is nearly upon us. The prophecies warn of a great gathering, where powerful forces will convene to face unimaginable unearthly horrors... and to decide humanity's fate. But who will rise up in mankind's hour of need?
October 22nd-24th, join us at the spacious Fantasy Flight Games Event Center in Roseville, MN for three days of supernatural horror and cosmic dread. With tournaments, seminars, a costume contest, and more, Arkham Nights will immerse you in the occult horror of H.P. Lovecraft's chilling universe, and unless you keep your wits about you, the price may be your very sanity...
Don't forget! Attendees who pre-register will receive exciting extras, including a chance to play the much-anticipated Mansions of Madness. But pre-registration ends this Friday, October 15th, so visit our webstore to sign up!
Whether you register in advance or not, you'll receive a gift bag full of exciting exclusive Cthulhu-themed content, including:
Download our full schedule of events (pdf, 4.4 MB), then make your plans to join us!
The Fantasy Flight Games Event Center is a spacious gaming facility offering a variety of exciting hobby gaming events in one comfortable and welcoming location. Located at 1975 Oakcrest Avenue in Roseville, MN, the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center is open for gaming six days a week.
Oops, N/M. Misread the text; the Old Ones are for Arkham Horror.
Ah well; all the more reason for me to go!
@sepayne7l: Correct, though I was referring to the Great Old One cards mentioned in the text. I think it's a fair assumption that they will have new gameplay, but my hope is that they turn out to simply be alternate-art versions of cards yet to appear in a future AP or expansion.
Just registered a friend of mine, see you next Friday. Oh why, oh why couldn't it be this Friday... The bag will be much nicer than the bag we are using right now that's for sure.
Also hope that there will be a chance to somehow get those awesome items =) Feeling envious for those, able to make it to the event =)
Destrin, last year a couple of months after one of their events they put a few of their leftover loot bags up for sale on their website for $25 plus shipping. They probably won't advertise that too much BEFORE the event in order to encourage people to show up for it. IF they have any leftover they could go up for sale during the Thanksgiving sale (if they do that again) or at conventions.
Marth, the Cthulhu cards are domain cards, and so they don't affect gameplay.
Again, is there ANY news about making these must-have items available to those people who don't live in the US and can't make it to this event? I don't really want to rely on the potentially inflated Ebay market
I really hope the promotional cards we're supposed to get don't have unique gameplay. The best thing about LCG's is the fact that everyone can use whatever cards they want.
Looks like I'll have to buy these on ebay as I can't attend :(
Wow, those goods are looking cool.
Those domain markers look pretty darn cool.

He's one of the top writers and producers in Tinseltown and Judd Apatow is using his clout to try and get Bill Cosby banned from every venue in North America.
While the ladies always tend to get in on the magazine fun, Esquire decided to give a few fellas a shot at glory with their Mentoring Issue for October 2014.
"Palo Alto" star James Franco explained that he admires Andy Warhol. "I look at Andy Warhol, who did film, he painted, he did photography, he produced music—to me that is a model where I can just say, 'Yeah, why not?'"
We all need more love in our lives, and Judd Apatow has just the remedy- a new comedy that's coming to Netflix!
The "40-Year-Old Virgin" honcho is teaming with the online streaming service as well as Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin to produce "Love," and there are already two seasons in the works.
Taking a stand against TMZ, Louis C.K. and Judd Apatow publicly asked the site to take down the Tracy Morgan crash video from the weekend accident that left one dead and four injured.
Next week he'll pick up the "Tonight Show" reigns from Jay Leno, and Jimmy Fallon has plenty of great tips from his famous friends.
Miley Cyrus shared, "I don't tell this to everybody, but just between us- you get a lot more ratings if you wear less clothes. Less clothes equals more ratings. It's really simple, actually."
Even with all the excitement going on at this year's Golden Globe Awards, famous celebrities made sure to hit up their social network accounts to share their most favorite moments.
After honoring some of Hollywood's best at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, the stars continued to celebrate at the HBO Post Party in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 12).
Never one to hold her tongue, Lena Dunham was none-too-pleased when a critic questioned her use of nudity on "Girls."
During the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena last night (January 9), the "Tiny Furniture" star issued a witty retort when asked why she's always in her birthday suit.

FCC tackles EEO for a third time
The new rules require broadcasters to disseminate notice of full-time job vacancies and to participate in a specified number of recruitment activities.
Digital radio launched
In October the Commission announced procedures that allow AM and FM stations to immediately begin interim IBOC digital transmissions on a voluntary basis.
Be an effective record keeper
Avoid the endless reams of paper and consolidate your records.
Radio renewal cycle approaches
Within the next year, station licenses will begin to come up for renewal.
FCC clamps down on Longley-Rice
Longley-Rice is commonly used when the standard prediction method shows a shortfall in city-grade coverage.
Need for EEO rules explored
In June, the Commission held an en banc hearing on the need for new broadcast and cable equal employment opportunity (EEO) rules.
Payola controversy heats up
For decades payola has been a sleeper, with radio station owners vaguely recalling the scandals involving Alan Freed in the early days of rock n' roll. Now Congress is getting numerous requests to take a closer look.
Broadcast auxiliary purge
In May the FCC announced that it is purging its files of 9,000 or more unidentified broadcast auxiliary licenses, including microwave STL facilities, remote pick-ups and inter-city relay stations.
DAB update
The Commission is on the verge of approving the Ibiquity standard, but serious questions still exist as to the value of the system to broadcasters and whether a full-time AM system will ever work.
EAS rules updated
The FCC has made several changes to its rules governing the nation's Emergency Alert System (EAS).
Unattended Operation - FAQ
Click here to read more: www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/noonehome.html
Renewal cycle begins in 12 months
Now is the time to begin making preparations for the renewal process.
New Standards for Towers Near Historic Sites
Broadcasters who propose to locate their antennas on new towers near historic sites will face greater scrutiny to determine the environmental impact of their towers.
EEO: round three
Having failed twice to convince a federal appeals court that the FCC's equal employment opportunity rules are constitutional, the Commission is again wading into the rip tide of EEO.
Local ownership rules in play
The FCC is expanding its pending radio multiple ownership rulemaking proceeding to include a comprehensive examination of all aspects of the FCC's local ownership rules.
Class C-0 FM implementation
In November 2000 the Commission created a new FM channel classification to join Classes A, B, B1, C, C1, C2 and C3. Use of the new class - Class C-0 (C-Zero) - permits upgrades of existing stations and new allocations based on the reduced spacing protections, which will apply when Class C stations are converted to Class C-0.
Mass Media Bureau out
As part of Chairman Powell's efforts to reform the FCC, the Mass Media Bureau, which handles all radio and television matters, will be merged into the Cable Services Bureau, which handles all cable matters, to form a new Media Bureau.
FCC's Mass Media Bureau Going Out
The Mass Media Bureau, which currently handles all radio and television matters, will be merged into the Cable Services Bureau, which currently handles all cable matters, to form a new Media Bureau.

In another victory for the record companies, the United States District Court in Philadelphia has affirmed the Copyright Office's December 2000 ruling holding that AM/FM broadcasters simultaneously streaming their signals on the Internet are responsible for royalty payments to ACSAP, BMI, and SESAC, and to record companies.
Noncommercial applicants to avoid auctions
Concluding that "inartful drafting is not the same as ambiguity," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found in favor of National Public Radio in an appeal from the Commission's prior determination that noncommercial educational (NCE) stations would be required to take part in an auction if they decided to file for non-reserved (commercial) frequencies.
