This group will serve as the as-of-now temporary home to a special retroactive continuity, for those of us who are working towards strengthening our characters' stories and eliminating unnecessary (or unwanted) elements from our collaborative canon.
Please leave comments below with ideas on how to do this. And be careful about naming names. If you'd like to keep your ideas from being openly seen, please note us, or arrange to meet us in the chatroom available from the Afterrealm page. Any ideas will be appreciated.
My thoughts on this are to change it from an OCT to something more akin to a gladiatorial tournament, where the objective is not necessarily to fight each other, but to do battle against assorted warriors, monsters, and whatever you can come up with to torment your character. The difference here is that it won't be in an arena, but a generally open, survival-of-the-fittest contest taking place all over the regions surrounding the main area (possibly a town?). This also allows our OCs to either collaborate with other characters by teaming up with them to overcome enemies, or try to eliminate the other competitors and soldier on alone.
How This Works
The general idea now is that Bishop's Watch is a town built around this gladiatorial arena competition, where people from all dimensions can go to watch contestants run around and fight monsters in the large surrounding perimeter-- the arena area is actually outside the main town-- and the city's main income is the tourism that results from the bloodletting. Naturally, this also means that it's also a hotbed for organized crime and corruption, and while the kingdom's current leadership has no problem with this, its former ruler-- someone you might know, in fact-- is determined to shut down this barbaric blood sport, and is prepared to resort to less-than-honorable methods to achieve this.
The rules for the competitions are simple: once you enter, you are in for five rounds of fighting, to take place over a period of ten days; one round every other day, with length of each spanning about 2 hours. The days in between are set aside to rest, heal wounds, prepare for the next battle, and of course to meet with your adoring fans, should you have any. During the rounds themselves, competitors must, by any means necessary, survive whatever conflicts come their way. Any person who makes it through all five rounds without getting either killed or knocked out is deemed a winner, and is entitled to a free wish from a special apparatus in the center of Bishop's Watch. And of course, the more kills you make, the higher your monetary reward is.
Obviously, this is easier said than done. The arena specializes in bringing in some of the nastiest challenges they can find for the competitors to fight, both local creatures and monsters imported from other worlds-- this IS a universally televised event, and they have to keep raising the stakes-- and this includes everything from wild animals to attack dogs to convicted criminals with nothing to lose to even dragons (which they acquire on the rare occasions they can). Because there's safety in numbers (and also because it puts on a great show), fighters are encouraged to team up with other contestants during the battles. The tournament's organizers make a big fuss over the friendships forged during such trials by fire, since it gives their "game" an appearance of celebrating what is great about life and people in general. Nevermind that they make their money off of the loss of life that results from the competitions. Morality is relative as long as enough gold is involved!
There are a couple of safety nets for contestants, naturally. In case anyone is knocked out or becomes too injured to fight, paramedics are on standby to whisk the person to safety (though naturally, they are also disqualified for a month's time). There is also excellent medical treatment free to all contestants. However, the dead cannot be raised (officially, anyway), which means that everyone who wishes to compete must sign a waiver absolving the arena's management of all responsibility for any deaths that might occur. And a lot of deaths occur. Anyone going in there had either be prepared for the worst to happen... or be already dead.
Dadrick suggests that several of the crime lords operating in Bishop's Watch might "sponsor" certain contestants in the arena, hiring them to kill the champions for their rivals on the way to the prize.

Defenders of the faith: A night in the life of a makeshift Manchester United rearguard
GETTING TO KNOW YOU...Sir Alex Ferguson sprang a surprise by naming a back three and two wingbacks. Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher 'enjoyed' a once-in-a-career opportunity (they surely hoped) to stand side-by-side in defence, alongside Patrice Evra who, rather against the spirit of the occasion, near-enough started in his usual position on the left. Ji-Sung Park and Nani accepted duties out wide, leaving Oliver Gill, son of chief executive David, on the bench. Double act: Carrick and Fletcher BEGINNER'S LUCK...Carrick slid into action on 13 minutes - and duly upended Makoto Hasebe inside the area. Now, either the referee couldn't believe he had seen such a poor challenge, or he gave the stand-in centre back the benefit of the doubt, but either way there was no spot kick. Andrea Barzagu and Zvjezdan Misimovic then missed unmarked headers as United's defensive understudies, somehow, held out. Midfielder's challenge: Carrick floors Hasebe WIDE MEN WINGING IT...Fletcher, Carrick and Evra looked more at home as the game progressed, just like wing back duo Nani and Park, after having initially been caught somewhere between defence and attack, just usually not with the ball. But they warmed to their task nicely, with the Portugal international producing the telling moment of the first half when he delivered the perfect cross for Michael Owen to guide home his header. Hard yards: Nani 'challenges' Wolfsburg's Sascha Riether STROLL IN THE PARK FOR THE STAND-INS...And just when it looked like new careers beckoned for United's stand-ins, up popped Edin Dzeko to boom home a header from close range and leave Carrick in no man's land. But United, despite their injury-blighted team, hadn't come for a draw and Ferguson took off Nani, and asked Park to tuck in at right back to allow the attacking instincts of substitutes Antonio Valencia and Gabriel Obertan to come to the fore. And didn't they just, with Obertan's silky skills setting up Owen for his second goal of the night. The (former?) England man will take the plaudits for his hat-trick but, for Fletcher, Carrick, Evra and Co, it was very much job done.

Illinois Market News Service Offers Free Hay Directory
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Whether buying or selling, the Illinois Department of Agriculture can help consumers who are in the market for hay. Since 2007, its Market News Service has offered an internet-based Hay Directory, an interactive website for buyers and sellers of hay and straw to post ads and fill their needs. The directory is located on the department's website, www.agr.state.il.us, under "Consumers" at the top of the homepage. "The site contains leads to help producers find supplies of alfalfa, alfalfa-mixed and grass hay," Market News reporter Jerry Millburg said. "Supplies of wheat straw also can be found on the hay directory, and even supplies of organic hay and straw." The directory is free and easy to use. Producers who have hay or straw to sell, for example, just need to click on the "List an Ad" button. The site then will lead them through the process of creating an individualized ad that can be revised at any time. Buyers have the option of either responding directly to an ad posted on the site or creating a listing of their own announcing their intention to buy. "This directory is a valuable resource, especially when hay is in short supply," Agriculture Director Bob Flider said. "The directory gives producers a place to turn when they can't find a local supplier."
Why plant a rain garden?
A rain garden is a shallow depression that is planted with deep-rooted native plants and grasses. The garden should be positioned near a runoff source like a downspout, or driveway to capture rainwater runoff and stop the water and pollutants from reaching the sewer system. Storm water (rain or melting snow) runs off roofs, driveways and other impervious surfaces. This water flows directly to streets, down the storm drains and right into rivers and lakes. Storm water runoff is untreated and carries pollutants like oil, salt, fertilizer, pesticides, pet waste, transportation chemicals, and soil sediment into water sources. Rain gardens capture runoff carrying pollutants that contaminate our waterways. The water then infiltrates deep into the ground so that it can be used by the nearby plants. Native plants have deep roots that help to soak up the water, break up hard soil, and permeate water and nutrients deep into the soil. In addition of the improvement in water quality, rain gardens also provide habitat for birds and beneficial insects, reduce pest and harmful insects, and can be used to teach children and adults about the water quality practices. The Coles Co. SWCD is selling a large variety of native plants through May 16th that can be used to create a rain garden through May 16. Order forms are available at the office located at 6021 Development Drive, Charleston, Illinois. In addition of native plants, resources are also available to assist landowners with planning a rain garden. The Coles Co. SWCD is open Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm. You can contact the office at 217 345-3901 ext. 3.

No Seasiders move for Riera
11 Jul 2008 - 09:49:19
Blackpool have ended their interest in Arnau Riera after the on-trial Sunderland midfielder revealed a desire to return to Spain.
Riera, 26, spent three days with the Championship club but, after failing to make a single senior appearance for the Premier League side during the past two seasons, is keen to return home to kick-start his career.
"Arnau came to see me after training on Wednesday," manager Simon Grayson told the club's official website.
"He told me that he had enjoyed his three days with us, but he explained that he wanted to return to Spain to find a club.
"I am sure he will have no problems in doing that as the lad does have ability.
"I would like to thank him for his honesty and his effort during the last few days with us."

text: [[quoteright:300:[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/masseffect2_romance_2699.jpg]]]][[caption-width-right:300:It's not gay if "[[OneGenderRace she]]" is [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe an alien]], is it?]]->''"[...]Why is lesbian sex only OK if it involves another species?"''-->-- '''Joystiq.com''' on ''Franchise/MassEffect''They look exactly like hot women, and they make out with other hot women. But they're actually aliens/immortals/bodysnatchers/etc. So it's not ''really'' gay, right?Discount Lesbians are canon homosexual characters and couples who are either not human to begin with, come from alternate realities, have been magically or technologically altered in ways that affect their sexuality, etc., so that they don't really "count". This usually seems to be a device used within the story to maintain a status quo that lets [[MostWritersAreMale the (presumed) audience]] watch [[GirlOnGirlIsHot two hot chicks making out]] without having to think about the associated real-world issues of homosexuality. On the other hand, the trope may come into play if the writer wishes to include a lesbian relationship in the story but is worried about MoralGuardians, thus becoming a way for a RuleAbidingRebel to make an attempt at GettingCrapPastTheRadar.Note that they're DiscountLesbians only if they're included in the story in a way that obviates the need to address the associated issues of sexuality. This is usually done through [[http://scottthornbury.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/o-is-for-othering othering]] homosexuality by associating it only with characters who have conspicuously different traits from the viewers. Characters used to ''draw'' attention to those issues are inversions, although this can still fall into FantasticAesop or SpaceWhaleAesop. If they're stated to be homosexual they're not Discount Lesbians, just a non-human who happens to be gay.Basically [[ShapedLikeItself gays... but cheaper]]. Commonly carries UnfortunateImplications (see page quote). It can be considered a subtrope of ButNotTooGay.Compare HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster, LesbianVampire, BuryYourGays, and (occasionally) {{Elfeminate}}. Related to DeceptivelyHumanRobots because both are only as robotic/gay, respectively, as is convenient for the show. Also see SpaceJews for aliens standing in for minorities. Related to HideYourLesbians in that both are a way of including apparently gay content without admitting to it. Not to be confused with transgender and metaphorically transgender characters.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Advertising]]* Some of the Kerrang! bumpers in the UK in 2009 showed a young Asian woman who flashes with yellow energy making out with a pink, suited androgynous humanoid with a mask, clearly intended to invoke the [[PowerRangers Pink and Yellow Rangers]] -- but as only Yellow is clearly a human woman and Pink shows no gendered characteristics beyond its colour, it maintains plausible lesbian deniability.[[/folder]][[folder:Anime & Manga]]* This trope is frequently invoked by some ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fans whenever anyone mentions the HoYay between Shinji and Kaworu, what with [[spoiler:Kaworu bearing the soul of Adam]].* The entire premise of ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'', where everyone is born female, only choosing a permanent gender at the age of 17. This automatically puts all teenage characters into the SchoolgirlLesbians zone. However, by the end every possible gender combination is represented, averting the main reason for this trope.* Used for the women in ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'', because each gender had essentially become a different race. The male equivalent is never revealed. The Majerans (women) form romantic bonds and two-parent families for their daughters. As for the men of Tarak, in the first episode, one of the background conversations during a military graduation has one guy asking another if they want to make a kid. The guy's answer was basically, "Sure, why not?", as if he had been asked to form a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' guild. A later episode one guy is shocked the baby grows inside the woman as all men are test-tube grown.* ''Manga/BlueDrop'' gives us the Arume, who are a OneGenderRace of space lesbians.* ''Manga/CreoTheCrimsonCrises'', a [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full Of Lesbian]], where more than half of the cast are demons (who inexplicably [[HumanAliens look exactly like humans]]).* ''Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'' has the main lesbian character be a transformed boy, although it's heavily implied that s/he was a trans woman, but didn't know about his/her condition. Not even the voice-actor is changed with her gender!* The Cthulhu in ''Anime/{{Iczer}} One'' play this straight, being an one-gendered female-looking alien species. The title Iczer-1 and Nagisa may count as well, with Iczer-1 being an alien android who seems to love Nagisa.* ''Alien from the Darkness'' has Flair, who spends most of the story seducing the all-female crew of the ''Zogne''. While she qualifies due to being possessed by a tentacle-raping alien in search of [[MarsNeedsWomen breeding stock]], the sex scenes Flair isn't involved in prove that the {{hentai}} has no problem with [[CastFullOfGay actual lesbians]] either.* In ''Anime/{{Interstella5555}}'', a female couple consisting of two {{Green Skinned Space Babe}}s can be seen at the concert in the first segment. [[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* Franchise/MarvelUniverse:** During Creator/JossWhedon's run on ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', lesbian character Karolina has a long-standing relationship with a shapeshifting alien (twofer!) who appears female entirely to keep her happy. Karolina herself is also an alien. (An alien who [[ChangelingFantasy believed she was human, and was physically human, until her early teens]], but an alien nevertheless.) This is an especially glaring example, because Xavin (the shapeshifter) has mentioned that members of his/her species don't stay the same sex all the time anyway (s/he compared changing sex to dyeing one's hair) and had a subplot where Molly, another teammate, was bothered by the fact that Xavin was only a girl sometimes ([[AnAesop Molly eventually learned to accept Xavin as is]]). Karolina, however, insists that Xavin is female and only female, despite that Xavin ''does'' spend a lot of time male, too (and not just when it's more practical, either).** Shatterstar fits this, depending on which origin story you believe.* In ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' comics, the Amazons of Paradise Island often have romantic relationships with each other.-->'''Diana:''' We don't call it "Paradise Island" for nothing.* The Neil Gaiman story "Literature/MurderMysteries" actually has discount gay men. The characters in the main part of the story are angels, sexless and genderless, though they do generally take the form of human males. The angels who discover love end up as lovers, which means while there isn't any distinctive action, there's a lot of cuddling.[[/folder]][[folder:Fan Works]]* Ahsoka and Barriss in the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' Fanfic "Barris's Secrets". Ahsoka is a Togruta while Barriss is a Mirialan, literally a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe.* Most MPreg fanfic is this with genders reversed - basically, one of the gay men is from a species where it is normal for males to get pregnant, by other males, no less. [[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animation]]* In ''Anime/{{Interstella 5555}}'', a female couple consisting of two [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Babes]] can be seen holding each other at the concert in the first segment.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin's ''Literature/TheLeftHandOfDarkness'', dealing with a planet of people who are asexually hermaphroditic until they enter heat, at which point they can assume either set of genitals, is sometimes confused for this. It's not, for two reasons: first, the issues raised by this setup are the entire point of the novel, so there's nothing discounted about it; and second, the characters are not presented as substitutes for gays.* Discount Bisexuals? Discount Bisexual Threesome? In the ''Literature/DarkNestTrilogy'', Jaina Solo and one of her love interests, Zekk, were both snapped up by the psychic alien menace-of-the-week; they became Joiners, on the aliens' side and telepathically ''very'' close to each other. At one point they started fighting against Jagged Fel, Jaina's other big love interest. Jaina-and-Zekk had thoughts along the lines of "We should make him a Joiner and be Jaina-and-Zekk-and-Jagged! Yes, he is pretty. He would make the mating rituals much better."[[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':** An episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', "The Host", features an alien (Trill) ambassador, Odan, who has a fling with Dr. Crusher and then dies, having his personality and memories transplanted into a new (female) body thanks to BizarreAlienBiology. The trope is averted in that Crusher makes it clear that she cannot continue their relationship now. The episode was accused of UnfortunateImplications, because Crusher ''had'' considered the idea of continuing the relationship when Odan was temporarily placed into the body of Commander Riker, even though he was never intended to be a permanent host and there would have been questions regarding consent. Crusher was initially very excited that a new Trill host for Odan had come, until she discovered that it was a woman.** ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' tried to do this in a more sensitive manner than TNG had in the "The Host". In "Rejoined", Jadzia Dax meets Lenara Kahn, whom one of the Dax symbiont's previous male hosts had been married to when the Kahn symbiont occupied a female host. The trope is applied in that it is really Dax and Kahn, the symbionts, who have romantic feelings for each other, rather than Jadzia and Lenara. Also, the Trill have a taboo against symbionts resuming romantic relationships carried over from past hosts (a retcon from their introduction in TNG) and thus this was a single-episode story that is never pursued further. Jadzia would go on to marry Worf.** Also touched on in the season 5 episode "The Outcast", [[BoldlyComing where Riker is attracted to a member of an androgynous alien species]]. By the end of the episode the alien in question (who was starting to identify as female and was played by a female actor) was forced by her planet's government, which views those identifying as (more or less) strictly male or female as abominations, [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped to undergo the equivalent of conversion therapy]] and denied any further sexual interest in Riker. It was about as close to covering the issue of transexuality as ''Star Trek'' ever got. It was also rife with UnfortunateImplications given that Soren was played by a woman. You could read it as "Riker's dick saves girl from lesbian colony: unfortunately psycho lesbians brainwash her back." Creator/JonathanFrakes even suggested the female-identified alien be played by a male actor. Given that it was [[TheNineties the early nineties]] though, that is pretty FairForItsDay, as most shows would not even approach the issue.** The MirrorUniverse version of Kira Nerys is a DepravedBisexual with more [[EvilIsSexy evil kink]] than CharacterDevelopment; she's even made advances toward the regular universe version of [[ScrewYourself herself]]. [[WordOfSaintPaul According to]] Creator/NanaVisitor, that last one was more out of [[{{Narcissist}} narcissism]] than anything else.* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Willow's MirrorUniverse duplicate is a LesbianVampire. But then it's averted a few seasons later when Willow herself comes out and has to deal head-on with all the issues of sexuality and society.* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'':** The evil sexually-manipulative bodysnatching alien Mary in the episode "Greeks Bearing Gifts" is a glaring example. Toshiko is at least on the borderline, given that Tosh is never seen to have a sexual interest in a woman before or afterwards and it's not made precisely clear whether her sexual relationship with Mary was bisexuality or mind-control.** A straighter example is Gwen making out with a (female possessed by a) sex-gas alien in "Day One". Given that there are many same-sex relationships and WordOfGod states that everybody on the team is bi, this is more of a coincidence than actively invoking this trope.* Tina Greer of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is a shapeshifting PsychoLesbian obsessed with Lana. However, her every romantic interaction with Lana is while she's in the form of a male. She invokes it because she knows Lana is straight.* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', although there's absolutely no shortage of more humanoid queer characters, the fact that Madame Vastra is a Silurian makes her somewhat gender-blind when it comes to humans. Her wife, Jenny, is very gay, but Vastra herself doesn't especially care if someone is male or female. The homophobia of VictorianBritain gets merrily ignored by the both of them. * In ''Series/{{Alphas}}'', Nina mind-controls the straight (and also uncomfortable with physical contact) Rachel into kissing another woman in a club, to cause a distraction and also just ForTheEvulz.[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* While Ziggy isn't DavidBowie's only gay or bisexual stage persona (as for the man himself... [[FlipFlopOfGod let's not start]]), he's certainly the most flamboyant...and happens to be TouchedByVorlons.[[/folder]][[folder:Theater]]* Done a lot by Creator/WilliamShakespeare because of his fondness of crossdressing plots. Therefore, when (for example) Duke Orsino falls in love with the handsome Cesario in ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'', it's okay because Cesario is really the very female Viola [[WholesomeCrossdresser in disguise]].[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* A pair of Tasen from ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'' are in a relationship. This one makes a bit more sense in that almost all Tasen soldiers shown on-screen except for the BonusBoss are female.* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' :** The asari are a classic example. An entire alien species of [[OneGenderRace mono-gendered]], universally hot [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe blue alien space babes]] who have relationships with each other, all genders of [[ExtremeOmnisexual almost every other sapient species]], and (potentially) with female [=PCs=], the gender aspect almost never shown to be an issue for interspecies relationships. However, ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' may have [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally been going to include]] same-sex options for the two human love interests, as suggested by DummiedOut audio files that suggest such a thing. Worth noting that those files also have the ''very male'' Mark Meer ask Liara if she's OK with [[NarmCharm dating a woman]].** ''Finally'' averted in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', where two gay characters are introduced to the crew and one comes out as bisexual. Conversations with these characters and others suggest that sexuality is almost a non-issue by that time.* [[spoiler:Joshua in Another Day]] from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''. This looks to be played straight until you remember that [[spoiler:Joshua, as the Composer / an Angel, could be whatever sexuality or gender he damn well pleases]].* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' has exactly one lesbian couple in the game, and they're both ghouls (hideously deformed, all-but-ageless zombie lookalikes).* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' has the sylvari, plant people who don't reproduce sexually, and to whom gender is completely irrelevant. And more specifically, Caithe and Faolain.* The vampire-ish Mystics in ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier'' have a natural "Charm" ability that can attract others, none moreso that Orlouge, ruler of the Mystics. He gives a [[BloodMagic blood transfusion]] to a human girl named Asellus, one of the protagonists, and she becomes a half-Mystic in turn. Because of his magical blood, Asellus is more or less a lesbian (or [[EveryoneIsBi vaguely bisexual]], and this same blood causes a human girl named Gina to fall in love with her.

Their romantic relationships have generally continued, the town having become a huge market for {{Magitek}} that alters one's sexual preference to "bi". (The author has mentioned that the "orientation adapter" magic only sets you to bi, basically widening the spectrum of what you could be attracted to without otherwise altering what you're already attracted to, so it's not used as a [[CureYourGays cure for gayness]] or anything).-->"I don't think they're lesbians so much as..."\\"Pfft.

Monosexuality as we know it does exist, but is so rare that when John mentions the concept to Karkat he is thoroughly confused that it's even a thing in human society. According to WordOfGod, preference for a gender in troll society is analogous to a fetish insofar as it is an exacting preference rather than a preference swapped from the norm. It is not, however, analogous to a fetish in that it is something that the troll can ignore if they have it bad enough for the gender they normally don't prefer; Kanaya, for example, is only attracted to women as a rule. UnfortunateImplications are removed however with the explicit presence of gay and bisexual humans.* Variation: In ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'', Terra the earthworm is introduced as a lesbian because Tailsteak wanted to include a female character who wasn't a viable romantic option for the guys. This is clarified by saying that earthworms are [[OneGenderRace hermaphrodites, but he's choosing to identify them all as female]], so they're all "lesbians".

Jordan Nixes Anti-Israel Rally, But Fails to Snuff Resistance to Peace Pact
THE Jordanian police turned back hundreds of participants on the outskirts of Amman, planning to attend a conference calling for an end to normalization of relations with Israel yesterday.
After initially authorizing it, the government made a last-minute decision to ban the rally, organized by leftist, Islamist, and nationalist parties.
Analysts, including former and current government officials, warn that banning the rally will not suppress widening discontent about King Hussein's promotion of peace with Israel.
Former prime minister and chief of Jordanian intelligence Ahmed Obeidat was the scheduled keynote speaker at the meeting.
Mr. Obeidat, who was sacked from the royally-appointed upper house of parliament for opposing the treaty, has emerged as the most outspoken critic of Jordan's drive to foster peace with Israel.
''There is a serious crisis of confidence between the leadership and the people,'' Obeidat says. ''If the social cohesion is fractured, Israel will use Jordan as a gateway to gain a foothold in the region.''
Many staunch supporters of the monarchy argue that Israel could be using the peace treaty to cover its continued occupation of Arab territories and its repression of Palestinians in the West Bank.
''Jordan cannot be a fig leaf to cover Israel's naked aggression against the Palestinians,'' says one former Jordanian official.
King Hussein has strived to ban Palestinian commando attacks being launched on Israel from Jordanian territories for decades. And because of Jordan's long borders with Israel, it has acted as a ''buffer'' between Israel and other Arab states.
Now many here fear that if Jordan makes peace with Israel, the buffer could collapse, giving Israel an upper hand in negotiations with other Arab countries in the ongoing Mideast peace process.
Without a solution to the Palestinian problem, many Jordanians fear that violence in the West Bank will spread to Jordan, triggering unrest in the country's 11 Palestinian refugee camps.
But King Hussein, who celebrates the 41st anniversary of ascendancy to the throne tomorrow, sees things differently.
The longest surviving ruler in the world has perfected a delicate balance between public opinion, highly influenced by the Palestinian's plight, and the need to ensure Jordan's role in the region.
While supporting Palestinian national demands, he held continuous secret talks with Israeli leaders throughout his reign, partly to make sure that Israelis would not transform Jordan into a Palestinian homeland and to assure Israelis that Jordan would not be used as a launching pad for Palestinian fighters against Israel.

Celebs narrate free audiobook for Dungeons & Dragons' 40th anniversary
Geekerati like Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton, Weird Al, and more celebrate four decades of dice-rolling derring-do by lending their voices to a free Audible audiobook by R.A. Salvatore.
When was the first time you rolled d20 dice or took an elf into battle? For some celebrities, like Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton, playing the beloved RPG Dungeons & Dragons was not only a rite of passage but how they have fun with friends right now. Just watch an episode of Wheaton's hit webseries "Tabletop" for proof.
To celebrate the game's 40-year legacy, famous fans of D&D have narrated a short story collection -- "The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories." It's available for free now, for a limited time, from audiobook site Audible in the US, UK and Australia.
Drizzt Do'Urden, a dark-elf ranger, is a revered character from D&D's hugely popular Forgotten Realms campaign. Created by best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, Drizzt is a key character in his Icewind Dale trilogy.
The 10 other celebs lending their voices to the 12 audio stories are: Sean Astin (Sam in "Lord of the Rings"), Weird Al Yankovic, David Duchovny (Mulder in "The X-Files"), Melissa Rauch (Bernadette in "The Big Bang Theory"), Dan Harmon (creator of "Community"), Danny Pudi (Abed in "Community") Greg Grunberg (Parkman in "Heroes"), Tom Felton (Draco in "Harry Potter"), Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm in the "Fantastic Four" movies), and rapper and actor Ice-T.
While Day, Wheaton and Grunberg are experienced D&D players, some of the other celebs on the audiobook are just now discovering the lure of the game.
"This is my first delve into Dungeons & Dragons," Ice-T revealed in Audible's behind the scenes video, which is embedded below. "And actually reading Dungeons & Dragons is harder than playing Dungeons & Dragons. This is very intimidating to me. For those people who don't know, there's some interesting words so you have to learn the correct pronunciation. This guy's got a talking sword. It's interesting. Definitely far from where I grew up."
Sean Astin also took his narrator responsibilities seriously, and says he has always admired D&D players.
"People think of D&D players as these geeks," Astin says in the video. "To me they were kind of these untouchable, creative people. This space of thieves and assassins, I wanted to have a legitimate part of it, so now that I've read an audio book for Dungeons & Dragons I can feel a little bit tougher."
The audiobook is free for a limited time only, with no subscription required. It's playable on Audible's website or its apps for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone, and you can sign in with an Amazon account.

An officer fired five rounds, striking the man in the torso.
The suspect, identified as Brian Quattrocchi, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition and arrested on attempted murder and weapons possession charges. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer.

Asus has a new Transformer up its sleeve, and the device has just broken cover on Amazon—albeit only in the form of a pre-order listing. Say hello to the Transformer TF300, which is apparently coming on April 22 with a $489.99 asking price.
The listing says the TF300 has roughly the same specs as Asus' Transformer Prime, including an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, a 10.1" 1280x800 display, 32GB of storage capacity, and 1GB of RAM. However, the TF300's CPU runs at 1.2GHz instead of 1.3GHz, and the device is slightly thicker and heavier (0.39" and 1.4 lbs, compared to 0.33" and 1.29 lbs for the Transformer Prime). The listing also makes no mention of Bluetooth support.
How much do those little adjustments save you? Not a whole lot, at least not right now. The $489.99 pre-order price is only $10 less than what Newegg charges for the Transformer Prime. To be fair, though, the Prime isn't in stock, and the TF300 isn't sold by Amazon itself but by an Amazon Marketplace vendor called "Spicy Bomb." Perhaps there's a bit of price inflation taking place there.
Either way, I think a cheaper alternative to the Transformer Prime would be a welcome addition to Asus' tablet family. (Thanks to SlashGear for the tip.)

Coachella 2012: 12 Things Seen & Heard Friday
Pulp, Mazzy Star, James, Refused... (What Decade Is This?) Also: Scorching Rock From Black Keys & Gary Clark, Jr. on Day 1
More than the dry wit of Pulp, Swedish punk of Refused or the trippy pyrotechnics of Swedish House Mafia, the opening day of the opening weekend of Coachella 2012 belonged to Mother Nature. With drops of rain plunking down upon the Indio, Calif. Polo grounds and gusts of wind rattling the surrounding palm trees, Friday afternoon (Apr. 13) was impossibly overcast, and many festival goers were soon clad in jackets and hoodies they never expected to need this weekend.
Photos: Coachella 2012 | 10 Classic Coachella Moments
Fortunately, the performances on the first day were just as stellar as the weather was not: the long-awaited reunions of bands like Pulp, Mazzy Star and Refused were dynamic payoffs, while newcomers like Gary Clark Jr., Ximena Sarinana and Kendrick Lamar made the most of their festival slots. So who had the most memorable performances, and what was the vibe like in the Coachella crowd? Check out these 12 things we saw and heard on Friday at the festival:
Day 1: Coachella 2012 Pulp Gary Clark, Jr. Frank Ocean & Tyler, the C reator James Swedish House Mafia |
1. Like Arcade Fire last year, the Black Keys were given headlining honors after years of critical acclaim and multiple albums full of unostentatious yet sonically rich rock tunes. Unlike Arcade Fire, the Keys only have two members -- Arcade Fire have two touring violinists at their disposal -- and has to work harder to create epic "headliner" music. Still, in a year where dance will be king, the Black Keys' straightforward rockers like "Tighten Up," "I'll Be Your Man" and "Lonely Boy" got everybody grooving in place, teenage girls hugged each other and started hopping up and down in rhythm when "Howlin' For You" got going. Who says rock and roll is dead when a meaty riff can inspire that kind of reaction?
2. "I heard a rumor going around that the reason it was all cloudy today was because there are two bands from Sheffield playing," said Pulp's dapper and eternally witty frontman Jarvis Cocker. "You all should consider yourselves lucky." Following a set by fellow across-the-pond natives Arctic Monekys, Pulp took the main stage under a drizzly night sky and delivered a hit-soaked set of Britpop anthems the Coachella masses had been waiting more than a decade to hear. Making their debut appearance at the festival -- and only their third U.S. date since disbanding in 1998 -- the six-piece band seduced the polo fields with a sexy assortment of tracks from their '90s catalog, including standouts like "Disco 2000," "Mis-shapes" and the career-defining "Common People." Cocker proved as kinetic a frontman as ever as he strolled, strutted and leapt across the stage with boundless energy, stopping to feed the crowd grapes and chocolates from his pocket between tunes.
3. During his set, Frank Ocean brought out his Odd Future-mate Tyler, the Creator to perform "Analog 2." Watch at right.
4. West Coast hip-hop -- specifically, that of Kendrick Lamar -- will bookend this year's festivals: after unfurling "Section.80" gems like "A.D.H.D." and "Rigamortus" and leaving the stage, the rapper's DJ confirmed to the crowd that Lamar will indeed be joining Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at their headlining set on Sunday night to perform "The Recipe," his new single with Dre. Lamar was previously a rumored guest for the set; rappers like Eminem and Wiz Khalifa are expected to join the West Coast legends on Sunday night.
5. Sun-worshipping revelers watched the weather forecast with trepidation all week, as rain, high winds and unseasonable cool temperatures threatened to dampen the spirits of those gathered on the polo field. But Mother Nature was not altogether unkind. Although the mercury dropped into the 50s after dark, the wind gusts and drizzle soon faded away, allowing the sky to reveal a few twinkling stars by the time bold-faced names like the Black Keys, Mazzy Star and Explosions in the Sky took their turns on the outdoor stages. Between bands, DJs made the best of the soggy situation - rainy-day anthems like Prince's "Purple Rain," Jesus & Mary Chain's "Happy When It Rains," and yes, even Milli Vanilli's "Blame It on the Rain" were in heavy rotation all day.
6. M83 could have used a bigger tent. The success of their 2011 album 'Hurry Up We're Dreaming" made the French quintet one of the night's biggest draws, and forced many fans to huddle outside the overcrowded Mojave tent and groove to the group's epic new-wave tunes from afar. Those pushy enough to make their way to the stage were treated to one of the night's most blissful and buzzed-about sets. No one seemed to have more fun than the band themselves, who'd waiting seven years to make their return to the desert.
7. In between angry punk blasts, guttural screams and lessons on the evils of capitalism, Refused singer Dennis Lyxzen told the crowd that he was "humbled," with tears forming in his eyes, to have helped reunite his band for the festival after 14 years of silence. According to Lyxzen, the Swedish hardcore group's last U.S. show was in a basement in Virginia for a crowd of 40 people; on Friday night, they delivered one of the surefire highlights of the festival to a crowd of thousands, including a dozen or so backpacked kids moshing in the middle.
8. Songs that Swedish House Mafia remixed during their headlining-but-not-being-called-headlining set: Coldplay's "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall," Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," Florence & The Machine's "You've Got The Love," Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home." Visual treats SHM bestowed upon its audience: fireworks, streamers, laser lights (of course), bursts of fire, strobes, and about 18 other things. Number of guys in full "Where's Waldo?" get-up fist-pumping during the EDM giants' original single "Save The World": one. Number of bass drops: too many to count. Number of satisfied customers: again, too many to count.
9. Austin guitar-god Gary Clark, Jr. got things cooking early in the day with a sizzling afternoon set. Sporting dark shades under his stylish pork-pie hat, Clark unleashed his vintage mix of rock, soul and blues jams on the crowd rammed into the Gobi tent, and made his axe howl in ways that recalled Hendrix in his prime. In fact, no one would have thought twice if he had set his guitar on fire at the end of his set; it was that blazing.
10. Whereas Clark's performance was loud and incendiary, the Hope Sandoval-led dream pop pioneers Mazzy Star went a different route, dropping melancholy atmospherics that paired well with the cloudy weather. A special moment came, as you'd expect, with the performance of their hit "Fade Into You." Another blast-from-the-nineties moment came with James ' joyous set, which included their hit "Laid."
11. Random celebrities were easy to spot, with Katy Perry , David Hasselhoff, "Community" star Donald Glover , "That '70s Show" alum Danny Masterson and the aforementioned Gary Clark, Jr. all moseying by on Friday. However, no star was as giddy to be back in Indo as "Breaking Bad" Emmy winner Aaron Paul, who was walking around the main grounds before the Arctic Monkeys' 6:30 set, high-fiving fans he passed and excitedly cheering.

12. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg won't hit the main stage for another two days, but fans are already buzzing with anticipation for the duo's closing set on Sunday, and speculating about the special guests rumored to make appearance.

I often purchase Now Foods vitamins etc. My husband had been using a more expensive version of Betaine HCL and when the price went up again we switched to Now Foods, which seems to be working just as well.

Betaine HCL
I use Betaine HCL because I have a hiatal hernia which gives me much discomfort at times. Digestive disturbances are usually because of low stomach acid not what AMA doctors say and give anti-acid medication for. Betaine HCL helps relieve symptoms.
Good for digestion

Content: The Huge Hairy Issue, and Other Great Observations from Spredfast's SXSW Panel with Brian Solis
Brian Solis was looking great in a mauve tie and dove grey suit (to match the cover of What Is the Future of Business?) at Spredfast's Saturday gathering with customers. He led a fascinating conversation with AT&T'sBlair Klein, LinkedIn's Brian Goffman, REI's Lulu Gephart, Spredfast's CMO Jim Rudden, and Whole Food's Natanya Anderson. I was fortunate to tag along.
Brian set the stage by observing that social is about two things: you and your interactions, and scale, provided by technology. Brian Solis: "Social media has two important components to it: social media is about me, and what is happening today, but tech is about scale and (social) has to scale with (technology). Businesses need to be everywhere; we need to be everywhere. Technology is cloning your intentions, your individual engagement and relationships."
Solis elicited from each of the brands a sense of how their own journey with their company's social initiative has evolved from a very particular, mostly reactive one to one that embraces more parts of the business and has, most importantly, a clear purpose. But I'm getting ahead of the story…
Whole Foods' Anderson: "People want to have two very specific conversations with us and these are not the same (virtual and in-store). It's incredible because it allows us to bridge the gap between store visits.
Before social, you really only interacted with us every week or so, when you came to visit, but now I get you to interact with me every day. We've taken what was previously just a physical store floor and created an interconnected virtual store floor where we can have ongoing conversations with our customers daily. Now I understand what [social] can be for us – staggering and awesome at the same time."
REI moved into social in 2005, as a company that was comfortable with early adoption. But as REI's Gephart noted, "We're mission driven and cooperative which fits with social. We have a lot of that in our brand. In that way we're lucky we've been in the game for a long time. Only recently have we been separating intention and action in order to start to get a little more strategic about what we're doing in this space. "
Separating "intention from action" is what is leading these brands away from the old models of audience and fan-building, to conversation-building with specific groups of people, defined less and less by how they come to the company than about who they are as customers.
This has been true for AT&T's Blair: "Initially we were driven from corporate communications (and help desk) questions and answering …. Now we're moving into 'how do we respond, how do we give customers and non-customers what they want, deliver proactive info, etc.' We are moving from 'call to action' to 'call to conversation.' We have key learnings around net promoters score, customer stats and purchase intent. Once someone has engaged with us via social, we have some good learnings of what that does."
You don't move a large organization like AT@T overnight, nor do you incorporate disparate stores or independently directed retailers. As Solis pointed out, "in order to run social, you need to make the company social." With AT&T leading, the brand representatives discussed how they were using a "centers of excellence" approach to bring "corporate people" to a "horizontal view in the middle."
Solis: "Is it always comfortable?"
Blair: "No. The sooner they recognize that they all have a piece of social media, they recognize that they have to own it together and put together the best approach for the company in a holistic way. The piece I find so important is recognizing each year when planning, to look at the 'earned and paid' strategy together. The friction point for big brands is that people on the earned side (of content) need to understand that they have value to the paid (side of media), and the paid side has value to earned. Editorial calendars should be aligned. Everyone needs to come to the table quickly when opportunities arise. The same applies when things hit the fan. So, the two things are (part of) the Center of Excellence with horizontal responsibility in the middle, and paid and earned working together."
As Whole Foods, REI and AT&T have discovered, you can no longer separate your customers by where they reach you, i.e. customer service or sales, or when they walk into your store. Neither, as Solis points out, can you rely on the old marketing approach of hugely aggregated demographics. The more we learn and interact with customers and move away from broadcast strategies, and the more we converse, the more we need content.
Gephart spoke for the panel by pointing out: "Content is a huge hairy piece – how do we create content that is compelling – and connect better with the audience? Things are changing quickly. We're thinking about segmentation as a marketing fundamental. We have the theory, but just now we have new tools. Tools are going to change no matter what, so we have clear actions we are trying to build towards."
Not the last word, but perhaps the best summary was provided by Spredfast's Rudden: "Just to be engaged in that conversation and to have content that is really sustaining a conversation that people are interested in, you can't do it at broadcast, you have to do it in lots of different places, which as marketers, I think we all knew that this was what it was coming to."

Most brands completely miss the interactions piece until a contreversy erupts. The average consumer is overjoyed when they get a direct response from a large company on social media. Brands need to begin recognizing this and hiring people to monitor and respond to their consumers on all major social media properties.

Beste shampoo ever agenst dandruff. Use it daily, to get rit of dandruff. Use only a little bit twice.
My hairdresser suggested this product for me and she was right: the product is great! I've been using it for only two weeks, but I really can see the difference.
I am a sufferer of seborrhoeic dermatitis in the scalp, and this shampoo is one of the few things in the world which actually helps. I have no outbreaks and much less itching. Love it!
Have used Wella Sp Clear Scalp Shampeeling for some time now and I am very pleased.
I can say that the Wella Sp Clear Scalp Shampeeling is just amazing! It eliminates dandruff really well, and you can see the difference after the first use.
This shampoo was for my husband and he finds it is the only thing which eliminates dandruff. We do a lot of cruising which of course means he wears a dinner suit and the 'snow' which used to be quite heavy is now no more.
This is the first shampoo I have found which actually relieves my seborrheic dermatitis! I am very satisfied and would recommend it to anyone!

Gwinnett Daily Post
For some reason, I've always loved full moons. Every time I see one, I stop in my tracks, fully absorb and appreciate its beauty and then thank the good Lord that I lived to see another beautiful full moon.
It is a gift, you know.
One night I walked out on the ocean front balcony of a condo in St. Simons Island and discovered a picture perfect, marshmallow moon hanging out above the glistening sea with its gently rolling waves. I was on my way to bed for it was late. Instead, I pulled up a chair, plopped down and stared at the white magic in the black sky.
You should never let pass the opportunity to appreciate a stunning full moon.
In the South, full moons are not only gorgeous. They have purpose. After all, traditional Southerners, superstitious lot that we are, put a great deal of confidence into what the moon dictates. Depending on the signs of the moon, we plant gardens, schedule surgeries, cut hair and pluck weeds.
"It takes nine full moons for a baby to be born natural," explained my dear Aunt Kath.
"Really?" I jotted that note down. I'm her protege when it comes to understanding the power of the moon. We should all be students in the classrooms taught by our elders
"Well, that's what my grandmother always said and she had 16."
Then, she should know.
Law enforcement officers and emergency room staffs will tell you that they dread the nights of a full moon when more fights break out, accidents occur and babies are born. That's not just Southern. That's universal.
When I worked in racing and there was a night race that occurred under the auspices of a full moon, we all groaned in weighted anticipation. We knew we'd be at the track until the wee hours of the morning because of constant wrecks and caution flags. I remember one night in particular when no sooner would one accident be cleaned up than the green flag would fall and immediately another crash or spin-out would occur.
The winner of the race that night was not the only one not wrecked, it was the car that was least wrecked.
The date of Easter is determined by the lunar calendar. Easter comes on the Sunday following the first moon after March 21. If that full moon falls directly on Sunday, then Easter is the next Sunday.
Daddy, who was a scholar on the different phases of the moon and what could be expected during those particular times, was especially keen on full moons.
"I didn't sleep a wink last night," Mama would say over morning coffee.
"Full moon, that's why," he'd replied.
As we waited for the undertaker to come the night Daddy escaped from this vale of tears and sorrows, I happened to glance out his bedroom window and saw the most enormous full moon I have ever seen in my life. It looked to be three or four times the size of a normal moon. I moved closer to the window as the sound of my family's tears lessened in my ears. I stared at that towering November moon -- the Hunter's Moon, I later learned, is the largest moon of the year -- for a long, somber time.
Then, through my sorrows, I smiled. Daddy's old friend, the full moon, was there in all its glory to see him off to his place in glory. How fitting, I thought.
I knew a woman once who steadfastly insisted that she would die during a full moon. As her years waned to a close, she was restless and anxious each time one approached. Once it ended, she relaxed, confident that she had escaped death's summons for another month.
She died at 91. And it was, indeed, a full moon.

Pros:It does what is supposed to do and I don't see the accuracy problems some report here. The plastic is well made and it looks good.
Using it is a no-brainer, and supports both celsius and fahrenheit units, so I guess it works for everyone.
The sensor cable could be bigger. I can't see any other problems with it, really.
Nice toy, my wife loves it as well. It's fun to see the temperature lowering inside your house when you turn on the conditioner and the outside is hot as hell :D

Need character protection while logging in.
I had a crash while playing yesterday, I was in the ground combat tutorial but I suppose it could have been anywhere. At the moment of the crash I was attacking a Borg shielded radio station with turrets and lots of Borg drones. I did have the situation well at hand until the crash. I logged back in the next day and I was still at the same location, but all the enemies were at full and by the time I was able to sync with the server and begin to move about, my BO was already down and I was halfway through my health bar.
I realize we don't want users disconnect to avoid death or losing a battle, but perhaps an "invulnerability" state could be afforded to people logging in that would last long enough to either get logged in or until first movement/commands were issued.

What a great idea! Definitely going to make some of these. I'm thinking that the sandpaper is to rough up and take the some of the shine off of the cup a little bit on the area you're going to prime so the primer will adhere better. And then lightly sand the primer after it's dried to make sure there are no bumps for your chalkboard area.
Where does the sand paper come in? It is in the supply list, but not in the instructions. Do you sand before you primer or between coats of primer and chalkboard paint?
Great craft and I am going to make it. But what is the sand paper for? The instructions call for it but it is not used. Do you sandpaper the area after you tape it and before you prime it?

It is interesting to watch the Red Cross activities. Aren't they the ones who collected several hundreds of million dollars of donations
when a quake hit Haiti? And isn't it true that these donations never really made it to Haiti?
It is more interesting that this morning, about a dozen homeless guys
were told to hurry up by the janitors, who were instructed to close up the showers at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. It seems that the red cross does not want actual "homeless" persons lingering around
while the great citizens of the area are "pretending to be homeless"
all for the sake of giving the red cross the positive Public relations
blitz that they so deserve to have by a naive news media!
And I would like to know where the red cross has been with those 100 cots for the past 6 years? The homeless people at Cubberly don't have even 1 cot, but this is alright because after all, the homeless
have all made their own demise happen.
Don't miss out on the discussion!
