Alba's Ralph Pagano and the Vinny D Split: Do You Feel Lucky?
Categories: Restaurant News
Laine Doss |
Pagano pays tribute to his great-grandfather with the Vinny D split. |
Something that got us curious is the mention of Vinny D. The chicken scarpariello is served Vinny D-style. And there's a game played at every table after the check comes -- the Vinny D split. A modified version of a bingo cage holding balls numbered 1-100 (and emblazoned with the Alba logo) is wheeled over. Pick a number and if yours comes up -- your check is on the house (gratuity not included). So, the question remains, who is Vinny D?
Chef Pagano, who's as good as telling tales as he is at making a steaming bowl of pasta, explains that he and his family used to dine at Gargiolo's in Coney Island. The restaurant, around since 1907, is still one of the largest and most well-known Italian restaurants in Brooklyn.

It's Ralph Pagano's World; We Just Eat in It.
"My great-grandfather, Vinny D, was a legit gangster. He wore the suit and the pinky ring. His shoes were always shined and he always drove a Lincoln. His favorite place to eat was Gargiulo's. We went there every week and Vinny D's favorite part of the meal wasn't the scungili or the calamari. It was at the end of the dinner, when he would reach into his pocket pull out his cash and tip everyone down the line. He carried around like five or ten thousand dollars, and he loved to show it."
Pagano explains that at the end of a meal, the staff would bring over a box containing the numbers 1-100. If you guessed the correct number, your meal was on the house. "They only played the game with tables of six or less people. But this one evening, they asked Vinny D if he wanted to play the game, even though there were 14 or 18 of us. So my aunt Jeanette picked the number 17 and it came up. At first Vinny D seemed disappointed that he couldn't flash his cash. Then, he started to smile because he realized he could now tip the guys at the restaurant even more. He could really be a player. I was probably 13, but I've remembered that moment for 30 years of my life."
Pagano has decided to revive that game in honor of his great-grandfather. Called the Vinny D split, every table has the chance to guess the lucky number. "So far, we've had three tables beat the house."
As for the chicken scarpariello? " Pagano explains that too. "You notice that the chicken scarpariello is also Vinny D style? That was the dish he would make when I was over his house. All the time. It's so ingrained in my soul, I think it's part of my genetic makeup."

I just wish I had known this was coming when I was pouring my money into twitch skins.

Xyph, Shu. Both of you are awesome. The changes sound pretty legit. Can't wait for them to get implemented. Otsukaresama.
Depending on the eange of the stealth I think sunfire cape will be great fun. If its range I less than the stealth range it won't have a draw back and you can stealth push a lnae with it. Since you won't be attacking you should still be invisible on the minimap.
ok I bought 3 twitch skins now my champion is permanent stealthed and can only be seen for 2 seconds gg I have a big big question will twitch still get an attack speed bonus from his Q?
If this gets implemented I hope we will receive new stealth heroes.
Maybe this was already answered,but i must ask. What if there is both an eve and a twitch on your team? How do the vision gems work then? Obviously they could just be binary (if either champ is visible, it turns red), but I foresee it leading to some weird situation such as an eve obviously in range (lets say shes' having a duel up top or something) meanwhile twitch is stalking someone bot, but he can't tell if he's visible because they're already red. I suppose you could also make it the gems only visible to the stealthed player, but I feel like knowing whether or not your stealthed champ is visible (when you're a teammate) would be good information to have.
do us a favour and unnerf eve ultimate also, and boost her HP/def/atk ratio, which is kinda lame.

Alice in Bomberland is…strange.
If you've read the original story, this should come as no surprise; Lewis Carroll's world is bizarre enough, and a good game should never try to make a tale mundane. Alice in Bomberland tells the same story as the classic book, but with a twist: instead of Wonderland, Alice is in Bomberland—a place where, for some reason, everyone is trying to blow you up. The result is a unique action game where you're constantly scrambling for cover, dodging bombs, and jumping over rockets while trying to snag the powerups necessary to survive. It's hurt by mediocre controls and a lack of depth, but Alice in Bomberland is a quirky, entertaining diversion regardless.
Each level begins with a short clip of the story, including gorgeous illustrations. The story takes a backseat, however, as the characters you encounter quickly begin assaulting you with explosives. Some levels—such as when you're falling down the rabbit hole—are entirely vertical affairs, where you float through the air and dodge projectiles. Others place you on solid ground, where jumping is all but a necessity.
The controls used for both scenarios are similar: a set of left/right arrows in the bottom left, and either an up arrow or a pair of up/down arrows in the bottom right, depending on the stage. While the controls work, they're not the best, and I never quite got accustomed to them. Later in the game, "level-switch" powerups appear, which will suddenly jerk you out of a ground-based level and place you in a falling one, or vice-versa; thus, the controls for the two modes did have to be similar. But couldn't we have bigger buttons, at least? It's the controls that are the main sticking point for me. I just can't hold my iPod like that forever.
While running around like the White Rabbit is fun, your goal for each level is to amass enough points to pass. Simple enough, right? Floating objects (powerups, "lost pages" of Alice's story, etc) get you points, while being struck by a missile will cost you. (In addition to points, you also lose health.) This means that you can be playing for ten minutes and still be nowhere near finished if you don't bother to grab the powerups, or if you keep getting hit. The powerups in Alice in Bomberland are as fantastic as they are ridiculous; along with the "Eat me!" cake, there's a psychedelic potion that makes Alice's world go trippy—think bright flashing colors, blurred vision, the works.
The idea behind Alice in Bomberland is fun, and the presentation is great; the the artwork is superb. But the controls quickly become frustrating, especially if you've got larger fingers, and there's just not enough variety. Sure, you can unlock an endless mode and a developer commentary after beating the plethora of levels, but I'd expect to see endless mode long before beating the 48 included levels. The vast majority of the game plays in an identical fashion, and replay value just isn't there.
That being said, Alice in Bomberland manages to be both cute and mildly disturbing, and it's a refreshing break from your typical App Store game. Alice in Bomberland is a good diversion…just don't expect it to be quite as epically enduring as Lewis Carroll's original story, and remember to rest your poor thumbs from time to time.

PC Keith Blakelock colleague relives 'terrifying' riot
The sergeant in charge of PC Keith Blakelock's unit has told the Old Bailey of the "absolutely terrifying" moment they were attacked by a mob.
David Pengelly said his team of 10 officers were attacked by youths armed with iron bars and a machete.
Nicholas Jacobs, 45, denies murdering PC Blakelock during the Broadwater Farm riots in Tottenham in 1985.
The court had earlier been told that a rap written by the defendant about the attack, was found in his jail cell.
Richard Whittam, prosecuting, said the poem, found when Mr Jacobs was serving a prison sentence for affray at a youth custody centre in 1988, included phrases such "we have intention to kill an police officer" and "we chop him all over".
The court heard that Mr Pengelly and his team, serial 502, were trying to protect firefighters tackling a blaze at a supermarket on an upper deck of the estate.
He said his team were not "shield trained" at the time, but had kitted themselves out in fire-protective boiler suits, visors and long and round shields before going to the scene, which he described as one of "considerable rioting".
Police investigations
- The first was held after the murder where three men were found guilty
- Their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal in 1991
- In 1992-93, a second investigation was launched, but police struggled to get witness accounts because people did not want to make themselves liable to prosecution
- The police and CPS decided to pursue those they believed had weapons as suspects and regard unarmed attackers who punched and kicked as witnesses
- The case was reopened in 2000 following a review of unsolved murders
Mr Pengelly said he saw some youths were beginning to gather so he raised his visor to shout at the crowd that they were just there to "protect the firemen".
He said: "There was something perhaps of a dramatic pause. I do not know the reason.
"Then another group appeared slightly to the right from an unknown point to me."
Some of the youths then started to run around to "effectively outflank us and cut off our retreat", he said.
The officer told the jury that at that point he gave the order to retreat down the stairs to the ground level.
"Obviously at this point, the rioters were right with us hammering on the shields. It was an absolutely terrifying scenario.
"As we retreated down the stairway there were people with iron bars and at least one with a machete, effectively trying to chop the shields to bits.
"The retreat to ground level was just a continuing nightmare."
At the mid-point, Mr Pengelly said he almost immediately "lost track" of where the other officers were because it was dark.
"Start Quote
End Quote David Pengelly SergeantAt this time we were fighting for our lives really"
He added that he saw a group of people in a "cluster or circle" at the grass verge on the ground level, facing inwards and attacking someone.
At first he thought it was one of the firefighters, he told jurors.
"I ran across shouting and once I reached the group that was still facing inwards, I was trying to hit somebody across the head with my truncheon on the left hand side, then I lashed out and hit somebody else on my right hand side and at that time the group sort of broke up and dissolved."
He then realised that the man who had been surrounded was one of his officers, he told the court.
"At this time we were fighting for our lives really. There was no time to do anything else, having scattered that group, than to turn and fend off other people from the main direction from which they had been running," he said.
MacheteMr Pengelly said he did try to make his way towards where the attack was taking place, but could not do it on his own.
"Very quickly I was joined by two other officers so I was able to try and fend off other rioters whilst they dragged my colleague away."
He then lost his footing as he was "going backwards, trying to fight people off but there were possibly hundreds running around".
"I had already seen someone with a machete and I knew that if I didn't get up quickly, I wouldn't be getting up again."
When asked under cross-examination if his perception was affected by his fear for his life, Mr Pengelly said: "Terrified, I think was the correct description."
Another officer caught up in the violence, PC Stephen Martin, also gave evidence.
He described Mr Pengelly's attempt to appease the rioters before the officers tried to retreat.
On ground level, Mr Martin saw two different groups attacking PC Blakelock and another officer, PC Richard Coombes.
"They too had implements in their hands which they would raise up and bring down and I knew what was happening," he said.
The trial continues.

Often people argue about the value of to-do lists. I hope my post gives you clarity on the importance of organization and creating proper to-do lists.
Some people think…

The game starts with you making a bet on any (or all) of the player boxes on the Blackjack table. The minimum bet is € 1. The maximum bet per box is € 40, which means that if you play on all five boxes, you can make a maximum initial bet of € 200 euros.
After you have placed your bet, press Deal. The dealer will give you two cards, both face up. The dealer will take two cards as well, but only the first one will be face up.
You now play against the dealer in trying to get as close as possible to the number 21. However, if you go over 21 you are bust and will lose regardless of the dealer's hand.
If you want more cards, you press Hit until you are satisfied. Cards numbered 2 – 9 are worth their value. Jack, queen and king, so called face cards are worth 10. Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever makes a better hand.
If a hand has an ace, which can be valued either 1 or 11,
it is called a soft hand.
If the dealer is dealt an ace, you can take out an insurance. For half of your initial bet, you insure yourself against the dealer having Blackjack. If you take it, the dealer will check his card. If it is not Blackjack, he takes the insurance. If it is Blackjack, you will win 2 times
your bet.
If you are dealt an ace and a face card as your opening cards, you have Blackjack and automatically win 1.5 times your bet (3 to 2). If the dealer has Blackjack as opening cards, you automatically lose. If you both have Blackjack, it's a push and you keep your original bet.
After seeing your initial two cards, you can double your bet. If you do so, you will only be hit one more time.
If you are dealt two cards which are the same, you can do a split of the cards. You will then double your bet and play the two cards as separate hands.
When you don't want any more cards, you click Stand.
The dealer will move on to the next box. When all boxes are played, the dealer will hit himself until his cards are 17 or higher. The dealer must stand at 17, meaning if his cards are 17 or higher, he cannot hit himself with another card. Whoever is closest to 21 wins. If you and the dealer have the same value of cards, it's a Push, no one wins and you keep your bet.
These games are for entertainment only, no purchase is necessary or required to play.
EuroCasino.net does not permit players to wager real money.
Chips wagered have no real (commercial) value and can not be exchanged for anything of value.

If you answered, "a lot!", then you know what insomnia's like.
You probably don't talk about your chronic insomnia very much. You might occasionally admit to having had "a bad night," but words don't express the bone-crushing weariness that you feel. The effects of lack of sleep are pervasive: they slow down your thinking, undermine your work, impact your relationships, your health and vitality. Chronic sleep deprivation is downright dangerous.
Now, many kinds of chronic insomnia can be treated without drugs. A simple program, CBT, can have you sleeping better fast.
Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) of insomnia has proved to be as, or more, effective in treating chronic insomnia as sleeping pills.* In only a few weeks, CBT gives you tools you can use to solve future sleep problems yourself. That's what makes CBT such a valuable insomnia treatment. It's safe, highly effective and can be a lasting solution for sleep problems. For general information about CBT visit http://www.nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm.
The first step in treating sleep disorders
Not all insomnia is the same. That's why the first step in treatment is evaluation: Is your troubled sleep primary insomnia, or does it arise from a medical, psychiatric or other serious sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea?
Treatment will begin with careful evaluation, both in my office and in your home. If you are a candidate for CBT, we will work together on a program designed specifically for you.

Terrible loss on the scoreboard and everywhere else. Physically nauseous seeing Jeter go down and thinking about the idea of not having him moving forward. No idea what the results are gonna be, but if Jeter is coming off the field like that, it's serious. Just an awful night all around, but gotta stay positive. Could just be a badly rolled ankle, which would hopefully allow him to play tomorrow. And that would be really fucking helpful considering tomorrow is the season with Verlander lurking for game 3. Gonna go throw up now.
Update: The ankle is fractured. His season is over. The team has 2 options- lay down and die in the wake of this devastation or come together and use it to spark a run. Can't even look that far ahead. Just an absolutely tragic night for Jeter and baseball in general. Yankee fan or not, you can't not feel for him.

Open Formats, Open Editors
E-books are currently quite a hot topic in the publishing world. Heck, for the past few months, it's been quite a hot topic here as well! Thankfully, digital publication doesn't have to mean proprietary formats and DRM-laden files.
If you want to delve into the world of e-book creation, you should check out Sigil. It's a cross-platform WYSIWYG tool for creating EPUB-format e-books. It supports images, table of contents, and all the other features that make e-books so powerful. If you have a book you want to convert into EPUB format, or if you just have a text file you'd like to add markup language to for e-readers, Sigil is a powerful tool you won't want to miss.
Download the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/sigil.

Not the Only Choice
There are Sigil packages for version 0.5.3 for various distros available. Some are official and some not, but they do exist. I doubt they will be the last versions. If anything I expect there to be more official packages available as time goes by.
The Sigil developers have probably just decided that it makes more sense for distro makers to create packages than for them to release general binaries for Linux.
Pity that Sigil seem to have
Pity that Sigil seem to have given up on Linux support, Linux users only choice for the last few releases is to build from source.
A better choice, perhaps is LibreOffice to create the masterpiece and then writer to epub plugin (writer2epub) to create the epub.
I would have thought that a better choice
now that everyone's not trying to kill javascript would be a javascript crawler to dynamically generate the indexing etc and your favourite html editor and a very small amount of active server page support.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Love Airways Tea-length Invitations This was such an easy process to order my wedding invitations. Loved all the options and loved how you could personalize every part to fit your style. I would recommend to any bride!
Exactly What We Were Looking For
Vegas Luxe Rectangle Invitations My fiance and I were so excited the first time that we found this design. We are doing a James Bond themed wedding, and it had been impossible to find casino-type invitations that didn't say Las Vegas on them and/or look totally cheesy. To make it even better, their color customization option was exactly what we didn't even know we needed. Our wedding colors are teal and coral, and nobody offered those colors even close to what we wanted. We were able to customize the colors to exactly those of our samples all at no extra cost. I was even satisfied with the overall cost, as it was comparable to all other places that we had looked. We were able to even customize the design to change colors of individual parts of the design, and they sent us a proof to confirm before printing. The cards arrived in the e-mail after only a few days and they were exactly what we were expecting. I'm very happy with these.
Umbrella For Two Tea-length Programs Our programs were wonderful....I got so many compliments! The customer service was outstanding....even though I had to reprint because I messed up on the first set, they gave me a discount on the second set!!! Love this sure and I will be back to order more products.
Las Vegas Nights!
Vegas Luxe Square Invitations This invitation was exactly what we wanted for our big day! We were able to change the colors to represent our wedding day and the quality of the paper was breathtaking. We will use this company again for future events.

Residence Hall Tips
Energy Conservation Tips
- When you leave the room, turn off the light
- Set computers, monitors, and printers to their energy saving feature and turn them
off at the end of the day.
- In the winter, turn your thermostats down to 68 degrees or below. Reduce the setting
to 55 degrees before going to sleep or when leaving for
the day. (For each 1 degree you turn down the thermostat in the winter, you'll save
up to 5% on heating costs.)
- Turn off non-essential lights and appliances. The electricity generated by fossil
fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the
air than two average cars!
- If your room gets too warm, turn down your thermostat and open your door. Do not
open a window.
- Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where
you need it. For example, use fluorescent under-cabinet
lighting for kitchen sinks and countertops under cabinets.
- Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture
and make the compressor work harder.
- Wash your clothes in cold water using cold-water detergents whenever possible.
- Wash and dry full loads. If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate water-level
- Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.
- Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.

WJJanuary 2000 |
Hello everyone, and happy new year! It's rather odd, actually, to be wishing everyone a happy new year in the middle of December (which is when I wrote this).
Assuming we passed January 1 with few or little problems, I'm looking forward to the new year. It's going to be a nice new clean start to things. Generally I find new years depressing. I think it's the thought of a chapter of life coming to an end rather than a new chapter beginning. This year seems different somehow. Perhaps it's the rolling of the calendars out of the 1990s and into the 2000s. Maybe it's because I'm just a little bit happier than I used to be. Or maybe, just maybe, it hasn't hit me yet since it's only the middle of December. In any case, it doesn't matter, so there's no point trying to figure it out.
As I mentioned in my last column, I went to a gay youth group 3 weeks ago. Last Thursday (December 9) was my third time going. TS has come with me each time, and I imagine she will continue to do so. It was great going; I really enjoyed it. It was great being around other gay/bi/les teens too. I felt really relaxed around them and I felt I could be myself. I don't know what else to say about it. Basically, it was GREAT. I encourage everyone to find a local group and go. It's a great experience!
Recently I was nearly outed at school. I was sitting in a class one day with 3 friends, one of which is TS, the other knows as I came out to her recently, but the other, (lets call her AR) doesn't know, and I don't really know her that well. We were talking about music, and I mentioned something about "how bad the music was last night" (last night being Thursday, at the youth group). AR then proceeded to ask some questions about the youth group. TS told her it wasn't a religious one (as AR implied it was), and after a couple seconds of silence, she said "it's a gay thing... my friend's gay". I was on the verge of having a heart attack. Other people in the class heard and clued in (including AR), and asked, "you support gay people [my real name]?" They weren't being horrible about it, actually, which I was surprised. They were really surprised and thought it was great that a supposedly straight guy supported "them". I didn't really respond, I tried to calm things down and change the subject so other people wouldn't hear.
Luckily it was the final class on a Friday. I went home, and went to bed for over an hour. I was more scared and depressed than I had been in months. I thought it was certain that AR would make the link and realize I'm gay. If she did (or does) that, there's no doubt in my mind that other people will find out and a rumor will go around the school.
My school is absolutely horrible when it comes to homophobia. No one seems to understand anything, and everyone's always calling things "gay", and most of the stupid straight male population calls one another "fag" or "faggot" all the time. I don't want to be out at school, so hopefully you can see why I was so scared. To add to that, my cousin goes to the same school, which would probably mean my family would hear about it. I don't want my family to hear about it that way.
Thankfully, I haven't heard anything about it since. I wasn't able to get hold of TS until Sunday to smooth things over. It was probably good that I didn't, as it gave me some time to cool down. When we talked, I told her how I felt, but she didn't understand. She, as usual, thought I was over-reacting and being paranoid. I know I can trust her not to tell anyone, but I'm afraid little things like this will happen again.
Anyhow, the point I'm trying to get at -- why didn't AR make the connection and realize I'm gay? My thoughts are that I'm not what most people think gay people are like. To me, I am in some aspects, but not many people (so I've been told) can pick up on it. I asked TS what she thought. She thinks that they just assume I'm not, and can see me supporting gays, because I'm "not like other guys", says TS. In that, she means that I'm not loud, obnoxious, a jerk, sexist/racist/etc and whatever else. I'm quiet and open-minded, apparently. In any case, they haven't made the connection, and I hope it stays that way. It's not that I'm uncomfortable with people knowing, it's just that I would be harassed constantly about it if everyone knew.
I'm going to have to cut this column short this month. I've been so busy I've barely had time to write this much. I promise I'll do a big update and go a bit more into detail about the youth group next month! Have a great January, and again -- Happy New Year!
As always, any comments, criticisms, questions, clarifications, suggestions, etc., can be sent to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Everything will be read and replied to!

Deep inversions in the Rogue, Umpqua, Illinois and Applegate Valleys held low clouds all day, like a lake caught in between mountains. The clouds contain moisture (and colder air in and below them), so the temperatures above the inversion are warmer and don't mix well under high pressure.
As the high pressure zone moves eastward, the flow will push slightly stronger winds over the low cloud deck, and mix it up on the edges. This will help to break up the clouds in the afternoons on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday…at least allowing for some sunshine to mix in.
Areas of valley fog will also be present through Monday, along with building air quality problems. Inversions are notorious for holding the vehicle, industry and wood burning pollution near the valley bottoms. So, the only thing that will clear it out is a storm from the Pacific Ocean or a pocket of very cold air above. Both of those things will happen beginning on Tuesday…and continuing into Thursday.

D&D Encounters: War of Everlasting Darkness
This happened. Happens. Is happening. Starting tonight.
I wrote this adventure with Shawn Merwin under the guidance of James Wyatt. It came in the mail on Monday and my wife said, "I don't even remember you working on that. You didn't complain about it or anything."
Because, you see, as I said last August in my brief ENnie thank-you speech, on just about every project my wife talks me down from catapulting myself into Lake Michigan while I struggle against the white space on the page near the beginning of the project and declare it all but impossible.
This project was a lot of fun and totally experimental. The idea was to create a D&D 4th Edition adventure in the style of a classic AD&D type adventure where a session might be made up of many small encounters, combat on a grid was optional, etc. I'd just finished running a handful of AD&D adventures so I was definitely in that zone at the time. It's going to be something of a departure from the traditional 4e game, but that might be a good thing. Who am I kidding? It'll be what the players and the DM at any given table make of it. I think it'll be fun. I remember putting in lots of choices, alternate ways of doing things, and inventing a few mechanics that I was pleased with. There's also some crazy "roll a die and see what happens" randomness in at least one session.
I designed sessions 4, 5, and 6 if I recall correctly. I designed an additional session (concerning werewolves!) that had to be cut when the season calendar/schedule was adjusted; it was the most tangential of all the sessions and therefore the easiest to cut from the adventure without losing anything. However, if you want to know about it, I'll reveal the details of the lost werewolf session in a future blog. (It was really, really tangential).
Perhaps my favorite session to write was session 6. Ameron of Dungeonmaster.com kindly says of it:
The session that stood out most for me was week 6. In this session the PCs have to help defend a town from the pending attack of a monster army. They have nine days in game to fortify the town and get things ready. Each of the town's defenses (catapults, riders, town watch, etc.) has a battle value. As the PCs do things to prepare the town's defenses these scores increases or decrease. When the attack finally happens the overall outcome is determined by the final battle value. The PCs being the heroes of the story have a fantastic confrontation with the monsters which has a huge bearing on the town's final battle value, so the fate of things truly is in the hands of the PCs.
Thanks, Ameron!
While I'm sure similar mechanics have been used previously and elsewhere, I was ignorant of them, so this session was a challenge for me because I was inventing on the fly--trying to create a simple additional mechanic that would serve the session without complicating things. I was initially worried that creating a "battle value" term would confuse people (I hate to make up new terms to keep track of) but it seems like it works and you only use it in that session.
The other challenge for me was to create a siege/battle mechanic that worked differently than the one I used for The Siege of Gardmore Abbey (which you maaaaaay be seeing in real life sometime soon but I can say no more...). It wasn't just about originality, but mostly about designing something that worked best for this session and its goals. At any rate, I was happy with it. By the way, if you're running that session or playing it, the key to success, imo, is to draw it out and play it as organically as possible--that is to say, role-play the living hell out of it. I think the structure's neat, but it's there as a skeleton for you to flesh out.
That's about all I have to say about it right now. I hope everyone has fun.
Other news, since I haven't posted in a while:
- I wrote a big chunk for Pathfinder: Ultimate Campaign. I guess this book isn't a secret so there it is.
- Wrote a story for the upcoming Steamscapes North America; this is a Savage Worlds game put out by Pinnacle. It is probably the best thing I've ever written so far. At least in my opinion. The most finished.
- I'm working on a Dungeon adventure. For the April issue. And all that that implies. No joke(s).
- 13th Age. The Townshend. Rumor has it.
- At D&D XP last January, I announced a couple forthcoming articles. The succubus article (Fallen Angels: Ecology of the Succubus) should hit very soon in Dungeon Magazine (November). The Wee Fey (I wrote 4 Bard Tales for it, and am super excited about them, I don't care if they are only a few hundred words apiece) should be in Dragon Magazine in early 2013. Granted, this news is old if you were at the new products seminar at D&D XP, but once these pieces are up they will be new!
- I continue to tear out my hair over personal writing projects, but this isn't news.
That's all the news that's fit to print!
Yours truly,
-The Townshend

Very fun to read your thoughts on this season as a co-author. I really enjoyed your preview to Gardmore and I look forward to contrasting your approach.
I'm a big fan or organized play using innovative mechanics. In my mind, that's a perfect place to experiment with D&D. I really wish more WotC designers and freelancers would check out the innovations taking place in living campaigns. The Living Forgotten Realms battle interactive "ADCP" adventures at small and large cons are great. Winter Fantasy 2013 will also host the conclusion to the Ashes of Athas campaign, which will end with a battle using unique interactive elements. Freelancers and Wizards staff should check out the Encounters week you mentioned. Really, it is advantageous for those in the business to show up at a random store and play. It can provide a lot of insight into what works well for gamers and can also provide a creative boost when you see what others have dreamed up. - October 26, 2012 at 2:29 PM

Department of Justice
United States Attorney William C. Killian Eastern District of Tennessee
Tennessee Engineering Consultant and Wife Charged With Tax Crimes
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – On April 17, 2012, a federal grand jury returned a four count indictment charging Beverly S. Beavers, 67, and James E. Beavers, 67, of Knoxville, Tenn. ,with conspiracy to defraud the United States and filing false claims for tax refunds.
According to allegations in the indictment, Beverly and James Beavers filed a false 2008 personal tax return claiming they were entitled to a refund in the amount of $591,123. This return was prepared by Penny Jones, a partner in PMDD Services LLC, an Idaho-based tax return preparation firm. Upon receiving the fraudulent refund, the Beavers paid $59,405, to Jones and the other principals of PMDD Services.
The indictment further alleges that the Beavers filed amended tax returns for 2006 and 2007, seeking fraudulent tax refunds of $193,056 and $202,625, respectively.
Charges in the indictment also allege that both Beavers took steps to hide their assets from possible Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collection efforts, including transferring the real estate title to their personal residence and a store owned by Beverly Beavers to nominee trusts. Beverly Beavers owned a formalwear store in Knoxville. James Beavers was previously employed as the research director of an academic engineering institute at the University of Tennessee, and as a private engineering consultant.
In July 2011, a federal court in Idaho permanently enjoined Penny Jones from filing federal tax returns on behalf of others. In November 2011, Jones, other alleged principals of PMDD Services, and several other persons were charged in the Southern District of Florida with tax crimes, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and filing false claims. That case is scheduled for trial in October 2012.
If convicted, the defendants each face a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison and a criminal fine up of to $1 million. Both may also be required to pay restitution to the IRS.
An indictment is merely a formal accusation of a crime. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until their guilt is proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case was investigated by Special Agents of IRS - Criminal Investigation, and is being prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Jonathan Marx and Jed Silversmith of the Justice Department's Tax Division, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles E. Atchley, Jr., of the Eastern District of Tennessee.

One of my all-time favorite Simpsons moments:
[Mr. Burns is reminiscing about his grandfather's old Atom Smashing Plant]
Burns' Grandfather: Come on, men! Smash those atoms! You there, turn out your pockets.
[Two goons seize a waifish worker and turn out his pockets]
Burns' Grandfather: Aha - atoms! One, two, three, four... SIX of them! Take him away!
...and what is bound to become one of my all-time favorite quotes from a politician:
http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/ blog/2008/07/obama_the_speech.html
"With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom."
UPDATE: It's not the first time he has alerted us to this threat!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/ 07/15/AR2008071501311.html
"In those years after World War II, we worried about the deadly atom falling into the hands of the Kremlin."
UPDATE 2: Ah, this explains it... he's just ripping off JFK!
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/ John_F._Kennedy%27s_Inaugural_Address
"But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course--both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war."

BSA provides Wolf den meeting plans for Cub Scout den leaders. Today's plan is a supplemental den meeting plan in which Wolf Cub Scouts learn about colors and communicating through art. This plan covers part of Wolf Elective 12 – Be an Artist.
If you don't already have the BSA den meeting plans, download BSA Supplemental Wolf Den Meeting Plan K to follow along with this article.
Wolf Den Meeting Plans – Be an Artist
Preparation and Before the Meeting
Art can be messy, so meet in a location where you can paint, use markers, crayons, etc. Covering tables with vinyl tablecloths which wipe down easily can help with cleanup. You can always use the tablecloths again for future meetings even if they have some marks or stains on them.
Gathering, Opening, and Business
See my Gathering Activities page for ideas for the gathering time. Do an opening flag ceremony. You can also let them start making their cartoons for Elective 12b (see below) during the gathering time.
Do Elective 12b
Tell a story in three steps by drawing three cartoons
Give each Wolf a chance to share his cartoons and tell his story.
Next do Elective 12c
Mix yellow and blue paints, mix yellow and red, and mix red and blue. Tell what color you get from each mixture.
And finally Elective 12f
Make a poster for a Cub Scout project or a pack meeting.
This can be for anything you have coming up, such as a Blue and Gold banquet, Pinewood Derby, service project, outdoor activity. Do them far enough in advance of the activity that you can display them at a pack meeting before the event being publicized.
Do a closing flag ceremony.
After the Meeting
The Wolves should help clean up any mess made by their artistic endeavors and put away all supplies.

Rob may be desperate for answers from K-Stew, but experts tells HollywoodLife.com that Rob needs to sort out his feelings alone before their first confrontation. Read on for more details!
Robert Pattinson is most likely on a roller coaster ride of emotions right now — and we're sure he has a million words he wants to say to Kristen Stewart.
But relationship experts tell HollywoodLife.com that Rob, 26, needs to cool down and sort out his feelings on his own before having a heart to heart with the girl who broke his heart.
"He has to sort out his emotions before confronting her. Otherwise, he may become even more hurt and confused by what she may say. In other words, he cannot meet with her until he has built up an emotional reserve and has his own sense of clarity with regards to her cheating," relationship expert, Diana Falzone, tells HollywoodLife.com.
Reports have surfaced claiming that Rob is drunk dialing Kristen and that he's dying to get answers from her , and while that may seem like the logical solution for Rob right now, experts warn that he won't receive the outcome he wants. Rob has to ultimately decide by himself if he wants to reconcile with Kristen, or if he wants to move on and then he can come face-to-face with her.
"It will come down to Rob's decision if this meeting is about closure or reconciliation," Diana tells us.
It's also important for Rob to overcome his anger before meeting with Kristen.
"Optimally, he'll want to share his feelings in a way Kristen will hear him. When someone is angry, all any listener will hear is anger. When he talks with her again, he should know what he wants and where he wants to go," Dr. Gilda Carle, Today's 30-second therapist, tells HollywoodLife.com.
We know it's a really difficult situation, but we hope Rob listens to their advice!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Have you ever had to confront an ex after he cheated on you? Weigh in below!

I imagine there is a lot of buzzing going on here
Love Joule, located in the Shibuya entertainment district, opened in July and provides Japan, according to its Web site, with its first "love and sex bar dedicated to women."
The wall behind the counter is adorned with dozens of colorful sex toys. Megumi Nakagawa, the bar's proprietor, explains that typically a bar will have bottles of alcohol lining the wall. The appearance of vibrators, however, provides women with more confidence in speaking about spanking.
"Once they take a seat, customers are able to experience a pleasant place in which they can openly discuss masturbation," says Nakagawa. "Since most people view female masturbation as something of a mystery or taboo, it is not a usual topic at typical bars."
Nakagawa describes the atmosphere at Bar Joule as "fashionable and sexy in a different kind of space — perfect for girls-only discussions or a date."
Customers include women from the commercial sex (fuzoku) industry and adult video (AV) actresses. On the bar's Facebook page, former AV star Nayuka Mine visited in September, as did Sayo Hayakawa, the fashion model known for appearing in Koakuma Ageha.
But gents should take note that only women are allowed, with exceptions being made for men accompanied by ladies. (A.T.)
