Nerdgasm time.
My thanks to Bert for giving me the heads up on

Now I get it (sort of...)
I knew that back in the day Marvel sold off a bunch of movies rights to several studios, but I never completely knew who got what. I found this today and it helps simplify things a bit. Also take into account the various studios got not only the heroes in those titles but also the villains (like Doctor Doom), titles (like Mutant), and associated non-super characters (Franklin "Foggy" Nelson). and ,as with everything in life, there are notable exceptions to these rules (like Quicksilver, who is a Mutant and an Avenger).
An online friend just sent me a more updated graphic.

Star Frontiers /5th Edition D&D conversion
I just ran across a 5th edition conversion for the TSR Star Frontiers game. Star Frontiers has always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately I've only been able to play it a handful of times in the last 30+ years that its been around, but thats about to change. Thanks to Micheal Long a blogger on
who wrote a great series of articles on
converting Star Frontiers to 5E D&D
. The articles have been gathered up, expanded on, and published in
issue 11 of Frontier Explorer
Star Frontiers /5E is a perfect mini campaign for my players to explore when we are ready to take a break from slaying dragons but still want to stay with the same ruleset.
Many of the old modules are online
and there has been a great deal of fan support for Star Frontiers over the years in the form of at least two publications that I'm aware of -
Star Frontiersman
Frontier Explorer
I really hope Micheal continues the series and adds more support for his 5E conversion. For now, a hearty thank you Micheal Long for your efforts!

Moving forward with Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition
After over three decades with AD&D 2nd edition I have finally decided to complete the switch to a new edition-sort of.
I announced yesterday to my friday night online gaming group that our current 2nd edition game has come to an end and on December 5th we will be converting to 5th Edition. With that announcement I finally end my relationship with 2nd edition. But were still friends, because frankly 2nd edition has yet to meet its match for sheer volume of settings.
the publishers of 5th edition have stated that they intend to avoid inundating their customer base with new books every month as they had in previous editions. Instead, it appears they are taking the "Mr. Coffee" approach to releasing new material- one slow drip at a time. Frankly , when it comes to my hobby, I love being inundated.
Publish as much as you want. Of course, I'm not going to buy all of it, but I'm a big fan of choice. And its because of that "slow-drip" approach that I will keep visiting my 2nd edition collections for late night hook ups. Al Qadim, Kara Tur, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Planescape, Birthright, etc. they are still too sexy to just drop - especially when 5th edition is refusing to put out.
So next month I finally join the 21st century gaming scene, But, you never forget your first love.

You have nothing to fear, but...
I happened to catch this horror series back in 2008. It was a summer replacement show that only lasted one season, but several of the episodes were really good. I just ran across "The Sacrifice" on You Tube, it was the first episode and my personal favorite. Check it out-

Using Volo's guides from 2nd edition AD&D for 5th edition
I've read quite a few blogposts about folks using their 2nd edition AD&D Forgotten Realms material as a setting for the new 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. It makes sense to me given how much old Realms material I have around here. Many of the folks point to the 1st edition of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and others advise using the second edition specific setting. Amongst my favorite resources are the Volo Guides.
The Volo guides are like a Fodor's travel guide for the Forgotten Realms there are five Volo guides to various sections of Toril and one guide dealing "With all things Magical". The guidebooks are packed full of real places that adventurers frequent in games- taverns, inns, brothels, shops, and places of interest (like haunted keeps and such). Just about every entry has some kind of hook ripe for development into an adventure. Before you know it your characters will have a list of favorite places to stay and shops to frequent in between dungeon crawls and tomb robbing.
Volo's guides are also a wonderful way to plan out down time for characters. for instance, if a character in your game needs a suit of plate armor, you can quote a price from the players book and be done with it or you could tell the player that the best plate armor in the sword coast can be found at a shop called The Halls of Hilmer on the street of bells in Waterdeep, thus a desire for plate armor leads the character on a journey to the most fabulous city in the Realms.
I find the information in them much more useful than stat-blocks for Uber-NPC's that I'll never use in my campaign These guidebooks have become the most referenced material I have on the Forgotten Realms. And speaking of stat-blocks, the guides have very little in the way of rules or stats, it's all about the flavor and feel of the establishment or locale, which makes it a smooth transition to 5th edition.
You can find almost all of them at RPGnow (it seems that the guides to the North and Baldur's Gate II have yet to be released).
Volo's guide to Waterdeep
Volo's guide to the Sword Coast
Volo's guide to the Dalelands
Volo's guide to Cormyr

Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition is coming soon!
I am a huge fan of the enhanced Edition Series of AD&D adventures that are being re-released by Beamdog. My sons and I have had many hours of enjoyment with these games. I'm happy to see Icewind Dale finally getting the "Enhanced" treatment. At the pre-order price of $19.99 you get a lot of game for your dollar.

I'm finally home
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Steve Winwood
Back in the late 90's I heard that my favorite game was going to change, really change. Wizards of the Coast (WoTC) bought TSR and began a process to change Dungeons and Dragons in a radical way. They promised the change would be monumental and would make the game that I'd been playing virtually obsolete.
Now I had just moved to Hawaii, working a new job and seeing a beautiful girl who is now my beautiful wife. So, though I had other things going on in my life, I still kept an occasional eye on my hobby and I watched the coming of the 3
edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
The players handbook gave me a disc to help me create my characters, but it didn't work quite right (I was used to the Core Rules disc and expansion, so I had high hopes, but the 3
edition software turned out to be garbage). I bought a few 3
edition splat books and even helped out with Living Greyhawk for a bit, but I just wasn't feeling this game anymore.
A couple of years later I come to find out I've been trying to play the wrong game. I should be playing the 3.5 edition of Dungeons and Dragons. That 3
edition crap was, for lack of a better word, crap. So now according to WoTC, in order to play 3
edition the way it was meant to be played I needed to buy all new 3.5 edition books and my 3.0 books could be used for kindling or to level out the work bench in the garage.
That was when I said goodbye to Dungeons and Dragons.
I looked at my three bookcases full of 1
and 2
edition AD&D materials and resigned myself to make do with what I have. I never looked back…
One of my secret reasons for having kids is to have my own ready-made D&D group, as my boys came of age I began ushering them into the mysteries. However, my 2
Edition AD&D campaign held little interest for them, we also tried Castles and Crusades but they didn't care much for that either, and I have to admit I was just going through the motions as well. In 2012 I heard from friends about a game called Pathfinder- so we played Pathfinder. We played in a Pathfinder Society Campaign all through the summer of 2013 and while it was a little too much bookkeeping for me, my boys loved it. I've heard people refer to Pathfinder as D&D 3.75 which I suppose makes sense. And while it was rather heavy at times, there were things that I admired about the system. But it wasn't my D&D.
This summer I heard the rumblings of the next great edition of D&D. Holding fast to my AD&D Core Rules Expansion discs I flatly stated that I had no intention of spending another penny on a WoTC product. I had weathered the storm that was 4
edition quite well thank you and I figured this too shall pass. And I'd still be out there today if it wasn't for the fact that WoTC did something inconceivable – they gave a free PDF of the core rules to everyone who wanted one. I can say no to many temptations but "free" is a tough one to turn down.
So I downloaded the free PDF, then I read the PDF, then I printed up the PDF. I was gobsmacked. This new 5
Edition was wonderful. There's just enough "old" for my Grognard sensibilities to be satisfied, and plenty of "New" for the Geek in me to revel in. Of course its not perfect, but neither was my D&D. I never needed it to be perfect. I just wanted it to be fun.
I've heard folks say that there is quite a bit from 3
and 4
edition in it, I have to take their word for that, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that it's been close to 12 years for me wandering around looking for some "Old School re-hash" or "Indy darling" to give me the feeling of being on the cutting edge of a game that I loved so much. I can finally stop looking and come home to D&D.

Rolling 20!
Back in the fall of last year I started a 2nd Edition AD&D campaign using roll20 and Google Hangouts.
Tomorrow we will be playing our 16th weekly session. I'm really enjoying the group of players that have joined. Everyone plays nicely and we all seem to get along. My players stretch from coast to coast on the map and down to Brazil.
I've stretched my Roll20 legs and have participated in several other games and I'm in the midst of a playtest of The Lost World of Hador for Dicey Tales.
I've found the online play using Roll20 just as satisfying as face to face play, with the added bonus of not having to clean up after the game is over!

My Dragon Magazine sweet spot: issues #251-#273
I've been gaming since 1978 and started buying Dragon Magazine from issue #48, but even though I bought Dragon regularly, the issues from the mid 200's to the end of the magazine were usually purchased and put in the pile of "to be read".
At the time my pursuits were elsewhere (like trying to convince my not-yet-wife to go out with me), so the pile languished and at some point was boxed up. I have the Dragon archive discs so I had the first 250 issues covered and have referred to them often. I continued to buy dragon out of habit, even though I wasn't a fan of any of the later editions (my heart belongs to 2
So the other day I was cleaning the garage and I ran across a box with issues #251- #280. And I discover that the majority of them are from the 2
edition days (issue #274 was the first 3
edition issue), which meant I had over a year's worth of 2
edition dragon magazines that I had never gotten around to reading!
It couldn't have come at a better time, as my online 2
ed. campaign is in full-swing. So now I'm having a great time, perusing my forgotten treasures.

The Musketeers on BBC
The BBC is running a brand new series called The Musketeers. The first episode was Sunday night I believe. I gave it a couple of days to hit the torrent sites and downloaded it this morning. I enjoyed the premier episode. They take a few liberties with the original story, but nothing too off the wall (no flying airships, or any of that crap). The fight scenes are done nicely, and I like the actors they've chosen for the Musketeers. I'll be following this one. For those of you willing to wait, it's due to hit BBC America this spring.

Once more into the breach!
I have assembled the bare bones of my Northlander 2nd edition AD&D Campaign.
The campaign will be on a fantasy world of my creation, heavily influenced by Celtic, Norse, and Finnish cultures. We will be playing on roll20 using Google+ Hangouts.
The campaign will start on October 4th at 5:00 PM PST. and hopefully continue on a weekly basis.
I'm looking for 6 players.

I haven't had a good rant in a while sooo...
So I started using Roll20 to look for games and possibly run one or two of my own.
I figured, here is a world where I can connect with other players from all over and play the games that really interest me. I have a bi-weekly table top game with some friends and my boys, but it's Pathfinder. I'm by choice more of an old school guy, and I have an itch for playing pulp era games that has never been satisfied.
I've got the time, I've got the desire, and I have the rules. But here again, I'm having a hard time finding players.
I see a posting for a game and I sign on, we play one great game and then…poof-(work, family, school, etc.) raises its ugly head and the game ends.
So I take matters into my own hands and post up an ad for a game. I get dozens of responses telling me how cool the premise sounds and how they would love to play
It's too early in the day.
Too late in the day.
They live in Iceland.
Wrong day of the week.
Wrong week in the month, etc. etc. etc.
I have $150, 00.00 in gaming rulebooks & material and no one to play with!
I did find a nice 2ed. AD&D game on roll20 last week. I hope it lasts.
Rant over.
By the way, this is the game I'm looking for-

Because this is how I Geek!
I'm playing in an online 2nd edition AD&D game this weekend. It's set in the Forgotten Realms so I figured I'll resurrect a character from my old Living City days Mr. Wu, my bad-ass Fire Elementalist. But then I figured it's a new millennium so I should update things a bit.
So here is Mr. Wu's daughter Xiao-xing.
A buddy of mine did most of her accouterments. Check out her wands, and here is a close up of some of the potions she carries.

New Tarzan, Pellucidar,and Carson of Venus strips...and More!
I just wanted let you all know that the official
Edgar Rice Burroughs site
has authorized several new Web-Comics to be produced. Tarzan of course, but also a few other titles that dont usually get much attention.
These are brand new weekly strips by subscription. The cost is only $1.99 a month. for that price you get access to all six of the current strips with more anticipated in the future. The strips feature stories and art by top-flight comics people like Roy Thomas (Conan & JSA) and Chuck Dixon (Batman & The Punisher).
I subscribed the other day and I'm loving it.

Changes for the Evil DM
We are in a bit of a reorganizing phase at the Evil DM Productions side of things.
Dicey Tales will no longer be published as a periodical.
With the advent of the new Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition being released, Dicey Tales will take this opportunity to use the new system and be released as a complete game. The BoL Mythic rule set will power the Dicey Tales roleplaying game. Dicey Tales will retain all of the flavor and excitement that made it a fan favorite, but with more content.
Legends of Steel will also be seeing a make-over with a new BoL Mythic rules edition. As a part of the Pulp genre, Legends of Steel will fall under the "Dicey Tales" banner. The new edition of Legends of Steel will also be fully re-worked to fall in line with the BoL Mythic engine, and will also have new content.
The Lost World of Hador will be released as a supplement for the Dicey Tales RPG.
More information will be forthcoming at the Dicey Tales web site, the
Dicey Tales Google plus Community
and here at the Lair of the Evil DM.

Tried Roll20 and loved it.
I've always been a gamer with eclectic tastes. Of course I love my Dungeons & Dragons (you never forget your first). But I also love Top Secret S/I: Agent 13, GURPS old West, Justice Inc., Birthright, Star Frontiers, Pacesetter's Chill and Time Master and yes, Spelljammer.
The problem for me is that I have never been able to find any groups that want to play in those worlds. When I started exploring the internet in the 90's I discovered hundreds of people who shared my enthusiasm for these "other" games, the problem was they were spread out all over the United States and the world (who the hell knew Montreal was a gaming hot spot?).
So there we were. We knew of each other but that was it. Maybe a few play by Email games. But other than that, my immediate problem of no Pulp gamer's in my neighborhood was still there.
Then in 2009 came
Google Wave
. At the onset many of us were trying to figure out ways to game using Wave, but before you knew it we were waving goodbye to Wave.
In 2011 we were all introduced to Google+. Here again the Gamers rushed to figure out how to use this for gaming. Luckily a few talented guys out there figured it out. Now up until this time some people had been playing in various forms of Virtual Table Top (VTT) or Skype. I found a couple of VTT's and I even bought one called Fantasy Grounds (I have yet to figure it out, much less use it). But the thing with many of them is that you had to pay for them and then have the players pay as well.
With Google+ folks figured out how to use the Hangouts feature. A couple of these groups combined and created a program called
Roll20 has combined their program with Google+ Hangouts to create, in my opinion, the most user friendly VTT available.
I had a great time playing the Hollow Earth Expedition Pulp game on roll20. I had a couple of hiccups, but that was due to my connection rather than the application. Because I committed to play Hollow Earth first, I had to regretfully pass on a Star Frontiers game, an Al Qadim game, and a Pathfinder Society Scenario, all on Roll20.
Now my problem is how to fit all these games into a schedule. Hell, I might even find a group interested in playing the
Tales from the Floating Vagabond

Hollow Earth Expeditions meets David Acosta (seven years in the making)
Seven years ago
I posted
that one of the games I really wanted to play was Hollow Earth Expeditions. Thanks to the Google+ Hollow Earth Expedition community and
, I may finally have a chance to roll those funky Ubiquity dice and kill a Tyrannosaurus rex with my trusty Colt .45 (or maybe not). Here is a couple of glamour shots of my Character David Acosta.
David was a Major in the Army He served in an Engineer Battalion in both the Philippines and Nicaragua, as well as Stateside. he resigned his commission (Though he's still a Reservist) and started working for the Government as a Civil Engineer. He is extremely intelligent- possessing not only degrees in Engineering but also in History. He is especially fascinated with the Engineering marvels of Ancient Rome. He is considered an expert in his field. For more information on David, please refer to his semi-completed Character sheet below.

How I spent my summer vacation (My summer romance with Pathfinder)
I have three minions, one in College, one entering High School, and the third in Middle school.
Summer vacation usually means I have to find something for the two younger ones to do. Last year they tried their hands at water polo. I had forgotten how rigorous ans physical that damn game was, it's like aquatic rugby. (props to all you Water polo players out there).
This summer the boys demanded something less rigorous. I found that one of the local game stores was sponsoring Pathfinder Society (PFS) games.
PFS is everything the old AD&D Living City was and more. you create a Pathfinder character using their sanctioned character creation rules and then you play in modules tiered to your characters level. The modules are the same for most levels they are just tiered so that the fierceness of the opponents is somewhat in line with the abilities of the players to kick their asses. The rewards are tiered as well so that a player in a lower level tier may get a Mithral chain shirt, a character in a higher tier will get a
Mithral chain shirt +1.
PFS games at this store are mostly held in the evenings. But there are also games held around noontime on Mondays and Tuesdays. I was afraid that it was going to be a hard sell to "She who must be obeyed", but it wasn't at all - the price was right (free) and I would be there with them (yer damn right i'd be there with them-Woo hoo!).
I convinced the boys to play regular fighters. One of my boys is playing a Dwarven Warrior with a penchant for axes. The other is playing a fighter specializing in archery. Nothing fancy, just a guy with an axe and a guy with a bow. Now that the two of them have a few levels and a ton of feats under their belts they are serious ass-kicking machines. The armored Dwarf is like a Sherman tank and the archer is a sniper with a .50 cal rifle.
We've been having so much fun that my oldest son has joined us during his summer break. He and I play a supporting role as a pair of Bards. Mine is a Keshite who's specialty is stand up comedy,using Yo' Momma jokes to belittle our foes and inspire our comrades. My oldest is a Vudrani who is a true Sitar Hero.
My boys are getting older and their varied interests are becoming apparent, so seeing them all at the same table,working together and having fun is priceless.
Best Summer ever.

Trying to love Pathfinder
The following was a Google+ post a few months back. It serves as a preface to tomorrows post:
A few months ago a good friend of mine suggested we get our kids together to game. He had been playing in a Pathfinder Society group at one of our game stores and wanted to run Pathfinder for us.
I was a little apprehensive since I tried Pathfinder several years ago and found that, at the time, it was too complicated for my boys. I suggested Castles and Crusades, but he had a Pathfinder campaign module all picked out and was itching to run it, so we went with Pathfinder. It turns out the boys enjoy it, I'm okay with it and I'm trying to like it more cause soon it will be my turn to run something.
I don't mind saying Pathfinder is a bit overwhelming, with all its situational rules, conditional rules, advanced combat feats, stacking on feats and then traits and more. I think part of the problem is that my buddy and his daughter started in Society play where it seems players start grooming their characters at first level for eventual stardom at higher levels. They will take three levels of this and then switch classes to something else in order to get a certain advantage later down the line. Frankly without my Hero Lab program I would be totally lost.
I mentioned this to another friend and he laughed and pointed out that I ran AD&D Living City and GURPS games and there were plenty of rules and power gamers trying to break the game there as well. Point taken.
So I'm reading the Pathfinder rules, reading the world-book, and basically trying to fall in love or at least start to like the system. There is a lot to admire, especially the job they did with the world, they threw just about every sub-genre of fantasy in a blender and made it work smoothly.
It's clear that in my corner of the world Pathfinder is the now and near future of gaming. I have tried to get AD&D, Castles & Crusades, and Dicey Tales games going online and in real life and find only one or two people even vaguely interested. But someone mentions playing Pathfinder and the crowd starts forming.

3D Virtual Tabletop for Ipad and Android
I run across a lot of crap while looking for useful apps for my Ipad. 3d Virtual Tabletop is one of the best gaming apps I've seen. I've used it myself and it works great!

Google +
I've made several efforts over the years to get involved in Facebook, but I could never really get into it. I'm not sure what it was but Facebook just didn't work for me. I did re-connect with a few friends from the past, which was cool, but all the poking and prodding that Facebook did to encourage you to post, answer "friends", play farm and Mafia games, and all sorts of other nonsense was a big turn-off.
By contrast Google+ pretty much leaves me alone. I've also noticed that G+ is becoming increasingly popular with my fellow gamer's. Gamer's and other nerdy types such as myself seem to have gravitated towards Google+, and with the recent addition to communities, interaction with folks who share you interests has become a wonderful addition to the various things G+ does. Below are the communities I currently belong to.
As you can see the majority of my interests on Google+are skewed towards gaming. So if anyone is trying to reach me on Facebook, chances are it wont happen. But if you stop by the Pulp gamer's international community, I'll be right there at the door to let you in.

Guarding Kalas
I was going through a new purchase I made for my Castles and Crusades game: The Town of Kalas.
I'm very impressed so far. I was reading one of the suggested uses was to have the PC's join the town watch and find adventure as lawmen. This suggestion intrigued me because Kalas is a trading town with a diverse population of human and non human inhabitants. I started thinking of the Hawk and Fisher novels by Simon R. Green that I enjoyed immensely, I remember he had a "Special Wizards And Tactics" unit for major threats to the city, he also had a "Godsquad" That specifically worked on the Street of Gods, and kept the various temples and cults from killing each other right out on the street.
My boys already have established characters in the game, but I want them to start some back up characters in case these happen to bite it. also, it would help them explore other character classes. I'm thinking this will be a fun way to advance their back up guys.

DALLAS, Texas — His bracelet read "Leave Nothing," but Luke Jackson paid the message no mind.
As the Missouri football team departed from the Children's Medical Center of Dallas on Monday afternoon, Jackson — a reserve kicker — left his black wristband with a young man in a wheelchair.
No. 8 Missouri Tigers vs. No. 13 Oklahoma State Cowboys
When: Fri., Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. CT
Where: AT&T (Cowboys) Stadium — Arlington, Texas
Viewing: FOX
Mitchell Coombs-Solomon had earned the gift. The 20-year-old suffering from a sensory integration disorder kept most of the Tigers players enraptured with his life story for the full hour of Missouri's Cotton Bowl-sponsored visit.
He spoke about losing his ability to walk and the hard work and faith needed to conquer the illness. Coombs-Solomon, who also suffers from autism and dyslexia, has been working on an autobiography that has already exceeded a couple thousand words.
The young man used to play hockey and was a competitive swimmer, but several bad health breaks put him in a wheelchair. At one point, a near-death experience involving intravenous fluids that left him with a "50/50 chance" at survival.
"I thank God I'm alive and for my body responding," Coombs-Solomon said.
When he was finally left alone, defensive lineman Kony Ealy returned to give some advice. The hulking athlete hunched over issuing some quiet instructions.
"Don't let nobody ever tell you that you can't do something," Ealy said in a near-whisper. "You can do whatever you put your mind to."
The moment was one of several touching scenes during the whirlwind visit: A group of at least 10 players formed a conga line to dance with two young girls, some athletes drew pictures for sick children and the seniors went upstairs to deliver autographed gifts to bed-ridden kids.
"This really has made my day," defensive lineman Lucas Vincent said. "I love working with kids, and it's good that we could come out here."
Missouri coaches and players had a full day of meetings, practice and a team picture. The hospital visit was the final stop before dinner.
Two hours earlier, the players were on the turf at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.. Finished with practice and donning the gold uniform tops they will wear in Friday night's game, the athletes laughed, danced and played catch.
Monday was the culmination of a fun weekend that included trips to the mall, a Dallas Cowboys game and, in running back Henry Josey's case, a visit to the spa.
"I'm big on spas," Josey said. "I got a couple of guys and we went to the steam room and chilled. Just talked about things."
Josey has been keeping things positive since the team's Dec. 7 loss in the SEC Championship Game. After the game, he fought back tears in the bowels of the Georgia Dome, but arrived to the bowl announcement party the next day with a smile on his face.
Now that his team's leisurely weekend in Dallas has come to a close, the Angleton, Texas, native felt his team was finally in the right state of mind for the Cotton Bowl.
"It's time to get serious now," Josey said. "We've had our weekend fun. We've had a blast the whole time we've been here. Now, we've got to just stay focused on the game."
If the Tigers needed any extra perspective, they got it in the afternoon with Coombs-Solomon and the kids they met at the children's hospital.
"They were all excited we were here," Vincent said. "You gotta love the kids."

My theme got approved, thanks for everyones feedback.
Congratz KobusSwartz! There is nothing so delightful like first theme approval
So true, very grateful!
It looks great on big screen, but on 13' it's not that interesting. "Single page" does not fit the screen so I must scrool down. Maybe you could do something to make it good looking on smaller screen
Hi active apps, thanks for letting me know, I'l take a look at it on a smaller screen.

Using Arial for the content is ruining your design, like seriously.
Fix that ASAP !
I like it a lot, here are my suggestions:
- Add easing to the scroll, I think its too harsh. Some ease in / out would make it super slick.
- Lobster – the font – is a little 'done' in my book. (Subjective choice though )
- Center align the date text (#blog .inner .posts p.date)
- The form fails in terms of usability for me. Validate all fields, and highlight the problem. Make sure the error messages are associated with area of the problem. Having a single message area is a big no no! (An example we have done)
#contact .inner .map { /* Fixed Height */ height: 210px; }
and#contact .inner .map iframe { /* max height of container */ height: 100% }
. Have you looked- I would like to see gravatars for the comments.
Nice work, keep it up, im sure it will do more than fine.

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. |
Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. |
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. |
For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust. |
The foot shall tread it down— The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy." |
The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. |
Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You. |
With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. |
Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of the LORD. |
LORD, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people; Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. |
LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us. |
O LORD our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name. |
They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish. |
You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land. |
LORD, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them. |
As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD. |
We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. |
Your dead shall live; Together with my dead bodyfn they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. |
Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. |
For behold, the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain. |

Global Information Society Watch 2013 - Women's rights, gender and ICTs
GISWatch 2013 shows that gains in women's rights made online are not always certain or stable. While access to the internet for women has increased their participation in the social, economic and governance spheres, there is there is another side to these opportunities: online harassment, cyberstalking, and violence against women online all of which are on the increase globally. This GISWatch is a call to action, to the increased participation of women in all forms of technological governance and development, and to a reaffirmation and strengthening of their rights online.
Landmark report on women's rights on the internet
Women may not have been an active part of policy-making conversations when internet governance started, but the rapid pace of change online means they need to participate now to ensure that the future of the internet is shaped taking into account women's rights. Read a report about "Women's Rights on the Internet" on UNICEF's The World We Want 2015 platform.
Crossing borders : cyberspace and national security
GenderIT.org explores the online safety of women human rights defenders from the perspective of national security and counter-terrorism. Despite the fact that online and offline security measures adversely impact on women's and sexual rights, women and sexual minorities are still two of the most invisible stakeholders in national security debates.
Online censorship in South Africa: Protecting or policing?
The Spear is a painting that depicts the South African president Jacob Zuma in a rallying pose, with genitals exposed. It has caused controversy and been defaced. Images of the painting have gone viral on internet. In late May 2012, the South African Film and Publications Board classified the painting, as not suitable for people under the age of 16. But in a country where one in four women is raped, who is the ban supposed to protect?
UPR of South Africa: Connecting the right to communication to women's rights
South Africa's constitution guarantees freedom of expression and has been interpreted to include the right to community media and to creative journalistic content. However, online media and its regulation fall short.
Gender Evaluation Methodology (GEM): new video and site launch
The APC has been refining its Gender Evaluation Metholodolgy (GEM) since it was first elaborated in 2001. GEM can help you determine whether your project or initiative is really improving the lives of women and promoting positive change in the community you are working in.
Strategic use of ICTs breaks the silence on violence against women and girls in Busia District.
Like in many communities of Uganda wife battering, marital rape, denial of love, defilement, grabbing of widows properties, early and forced marriage, forced prostitution, defilement, sexual harassment, widow inheritance and other forms of violence against women (VAW) seem to be normal practices in the rural communities of Busia District.

Tackling a recurring challenge of our times, this spans all geographic borders across the globe.
Internet governance issues on sexuality and women's rights
In preparation for the 2010 IGF, this briefing document highlights key issues on internet regulation that are relevant for gender equality and sexuality. It also brings to the debate findings from various research initiatives undertaken by APC and key partners, including a cross-country research initiative – EROTICS – that is being conducted in five countries: Brazil, India, Lebanon, South Africa and the United States.
GenARDIS Knowledge Sharing workshop
The knowledge-sharing workshop will be a space to enable the 15 grantees to share outcomes as well as to discuss best practices and lessons learned. It will also be used to gather case studies and stories to feed into the ongoing programmes of partner institutions, as well as for GenARDIS' own evaluation process.

Watch 18-year-old Sasha DiGiulian climb 9a (5.14d)—the hardest problem in US women's climbing history.
Pink FTW!
"No woman has ever climbed 9a? Then not enough women have tried."
Filmed and Edited by: 3SM
Music by: Emancipator (emancipatormusic.com)On October 15th 2011, Adidas team athlete, Sasha DiGiulian became the first American women to climb the grade 9a (5.14d) with her historic ascent of "Pure Imagination" in Kentucky's Red River Gorge. Keith Ladzinski and Andy Mann (Three Strings Media) were there to capture her efforts and tell her story.
Loved it? Leave a tip!
7 Responses to "Watch 18-year-old Sasha DiGiulian climb 9a (5.14d)—the hardest problem in US women's climbing history."
WOW!!! poetry. in. motion.
(not sure it was a totally clean climb as there appeared to be a piece of hardware waiting for her at the crux, but holy moly!)
Love everything but the stereotypical girly fascination with the color pink.
I like pink! It was my fave color when I was a boy until my first grade teacher told me it was girl's color. So I matter-of-factly chose orange, still my favorite color today, probably.
I think everyone should be allowed to love pink!
Love her spirit and determination! Very often though its the people who lack raw talent and wil never be the best and yet get out every weekend and push themselves! Their determination inspires me as does Sasha
"i don't care if i bleed"
My brother recommended I would possibly like this website. He was totally right. This put up truly made my day. You cann't consider just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
[…] For me, climbing has given me a passion. […]

Genre: Specialty
Shakespeare got it wrong: Dogs aren't man's best friend, enormous fun bags are. And, when said boobage is crafted by the Lord Himself and not some Phoenix surgeon, well, there's even more reason to rejoice. This is a fact that Euro mega director Clark knows well, and his Big Natural Tits 13 backs that statement up but good. Chest lovers will dig endowed Brit (or maybe she's Aussie? Who cares!) Alicia, a truly filthy slattern who massages her whoppers to great effect before taking on Mark Wood and Brian Pumper, both of whom posess a wonderful understanding of what to do with the blonde's magical wampum sacks.
Ravishing Alwen makes a must-see appearance in a bathroom where she does the appropriate thing and makes wee-wee before turning to pose with her exquisite hind end on display. Lang comes in and the real fun begins, kicking off with an obligatory boob workout. There's a lot to like about this vid; handfuls, in fact.

Im looking for a compact concealed handgun. 9mm. The kahr feels better in my hand vs. the glock. Any other suggestions/ advice?

If the kahr feels better buy the kahr. I personally don't prefer glocks so that makes me doubly suggest the kahr.
Yep, pick the one you like most or that you shoot best. Both are good. I went with the 26 because I already have a 19 and a 17 so ticking with the same controls, trigger and compatible mags made the most sense for me.
My not knowing what you have now, I agree with the idea of keeping something that matches (or comes close to) what you know now. Muscle memory is a strong thing.
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
I have Glock26. Its a great gun but it's thick and double stack. You should check out the M&P Shield. It's single stack and nice trigger reset they said. Been hard to find them lately but Vance outdoors amd Sportmans Outdoors have them since 2 days ago. Anyway get whichever feels great and comfortable in your hand.
Have you considered the Sig Sauer P938? Single stack 9mm and VERY compact
Pick double or single FIRST, then pick the right gun for you. I have chosen Kahr for my single stacks (P380, CM9, PM45) and XDm for my double stacks (3.8compact).
I have the CMP. I really like it. Easy to control. Nice trigger too.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Ive never shot a glock so I can't compare but I have a kahr cm9 and id recommend it to anyone. Haven't had it very long but had no issues yet. The break in period even went smooth
I really like glocks but hate your thick as a brick baby glocks. I thing if glock was it I would carry a g19. I do have a cm9 and cw9 kahr and have a building round cound up to 2250 rounds so far. The kahr is a great pistol for a personal defence, hard to compare the 2 when so much is so different from thickness and weight and size and round count compared to the cm9.

Here it is, the last installment to the Go! Go! Parody Rangers trilogy: RANGERS. IN. SPAAAAACE.
This one is without a doubt the most impressive looking. I used just about everything I know about flash animation in the process of this movie, and even used the Adobe CS3 version of the program. However, as far as the content itself goes, I have a feeling this one may not connect with everyone. I'd like to put it as "the episode that has a little something for everybody", but many may not agree. I know a large majority of "old school" Power Rangers fans didn't even watch past Zeo, and admittedly, I haven't seen a whole lot of the "in Space" series either. However, just as I used all of my flash knowledge, I used just about everything I know about the Power Rangers series in general. But know that the humor in the movie isn't limited to just being about the Rangers, even more so than the previous installments.
I'm very thankful for my voice cast, which contains quite a few cameos by proffessionals from different anime dubbing studios around the country. I won't say who's who, you'll figure it out, and some are more obvious than others. I'm also thankful to my audio engineers who helped me out through recording said voice actors. That, and my co-writers and anyone who contributed to coming up with the billion jokes that ended up in this delicious monstrosity of mine. That, and a last minute special thanks to Alvin-Earthworm of Super Mario Bros. Z fame for helping me out with actionscripting. Thanks to him, not only is this movie not being split into two parts, but you also have a scene select and a WORKING replay button. YAY.
Last thing of notice: If this does well enough, and if I have enough time, I MAY be doing a full-length Parody Rangers version of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers movie, featuring Ivan Ooze. My next upcoming flash movie is going to be a spoof on a bunch of different Nintendo series. Look forward to that.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Not very funny... And I loved the first two. I don't know maybe it's me, blown a funny fuse or something.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
this doesnt deserve such a good score
no offence to whoever made this, but i disliked your series, and i cant watch a single episode till the end, i expected better from something in 4th place, i honestly did, a couple parts made me smile but thats it, i couldnt watch the whole thing, i got annoyed by it, the charicters who bothered me the most would be the big guy who acts like he's on some pretty serious halucinogens, the guy who acts like a gay drama queen ( not to be offensive to homosexuals, if anyone took offence then sorry) and the guy whos mouth is always in front of his hair. sorry, i just didnt like it, the least i can say is good job on the hi score....
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Weren't you supposed to make of the power rangers?
I found your last installment of the series very dissapointing, I liked the last 2 episodes, but you ruined the ending.
Humor- 2/10 Isn't this flash supposedly about the power rangers? why the hell did you put so many references to unrelated things. I mean they didn't affect anything in the flash, at least Vector destroyed the world. If the jokes weren't about Spongebob or evangelion, it was about piss or boners.
Voice acting- 5/10 I liked the quality of the acting, soime of the voices were annoying or I couldn't understand what they were saying.
Graphics- 5/10 Nothing to special, average graphics.
Animations- 5/10 Not a whole bunch of animations, since charcters were mostly talking and referencing unrelated things.
Reccomendations: Work on the humor, random references don't make a flash. Make the characters move more.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars

MIOSHA Inspection Data
MIOSHA inspection data is part of the Federal Integrated Management Information System (IMIS). The IMIS was designed as an information resource for in-house use by Federal OSHA staff and management, and by state agencies which carry out federally-approved OSHA programs. Access to this OSHA work product is provided for the use of members of the public who wish to track MIOSHA interventions at particular work sites or to perform statistical analyses of MIOSHA enforcement activity.
The source of the MIOSHA data in IMIS is the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Department of Labor and Economic Growth. Information is entered as events occur in the course of agency activities. Until cases are closed, IMIS entries concerning specific inspections are subject to continual correction and updating, particularly with regard to citation items, which are subject to modification by amended citations, settlement agreements, or as a result of contest proceedings.
To access MIOSHA inspection data we are directing you to the Federal OSHA Statistics & Data web page. The IMIS may be queried by establishment name, standard industrial classification (SIC) code or activity number. The establishment search is the most commonly used query. Establishment search users should be aware that different companies may have similar names and close attention to the address may be necessary to avoid misinterpretation.
To access MIOSHA specific inspection data users must limit their query to the state of Michigan. First time users of OSHA's Statistics & Data page should review the Inspection Detail Definitions page and the note to users.

How much progress was made toward freedom, equailty, and opportunity for women in the mid-1970s?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The best answer to this is that some progress was made, but not nearly as much as many women would have liked.
During the mid-1970s, there were definitely improvements made in the status of women. The most important of these changes in legal terms was the Supreme Court's decision in Frontiero v. Richardson. In this case, the Court had to decide whether the Air Force could provide benefits to the wives of male officers while refusing to provide them to the husbands of female officers. This sort of law had been rather common in the United States. In Frontiero, however, the Court struck down this sort of law. It said that the government had to have a good reason to discriminate on the basis of sex. It did not give sex the same level of protection that race got, but it still gave much more protection to women than it had before.
However, the mid-1970s were also the time of a major disappointment for women. This came as the Equal Rights Amendment failed to be ratified. This amendment would have said that
Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
However, conservative opposition to the amendment led to it being rejected and women did not get the degree of progress that they had hoped for.

For as hard as fleets work for a 1% gain in fuel efficiency, it's hard to imagine giving up something like 2-4% in fuel efficiency to something as simple as maintaining correct inflation pressure, especially today when almost every inflation or monitoring system on the market offers payback in less than a year.

You've heard the expression, 'It's like herding cats"? It's like that with tires when your alignment is out of whack. With all those wheels heading in different directions, it's unlikely you're getting the best fuel economy -- or tire life.

Poor fuel mileage can be a make-or-break proposition for owner-operators, and a lot of whether you get 6 mpg or 8 mpg depends on your skills and habits as a driver. Two drivers on two identical trucks can see a difference of up to 30% in fuel economy. Much of that chasm stems from good or bad pedal and stick management, and the driver's willingness to use available technology to his best advantage.

I'm tired of all of you constantly remarking and talking about spam. Sure we have spam on this site, but so do all of the other flash sites on the internet. Just learn to ignore the spammers and delete there comments on your page. Why do you think we have mods? To deal with the spam!Let the mods do their jobs, I know you think you're being helpful by pointing out spammers to the mods, but that can get pretty annoying after awhile. I know I'm guilty of doing this but I've stopped and so should you. I know this rant won't help the situation right now, but I just want to get my feelings out to the community.

JWE does bring up a good point. Spam is always going to be present. I don't mind people posting the spam they find on my profile as long as they do it in a manner that will make it easy for me to navigate. So, if you do catch spam please organize it like this:-The URL of the user spamming-The URL of where they are spamming (if it is on page 2 of free rider, then send me page two of free rider)-Continue to list all the URLs that you have found the spam.If you find someone spamming in the chat, then simply leave a URL to their profile.Also the best way to help us with spam is if it is on your profile DELETE IT! Don't let it sit there. It is not your responsibility to warn or argue back with the spammer. All you need to do is inform a mod and give us the URL of their profile.

I almost hesitate to say, Nadine, since I assume Peter prefers vertical. If you preferred the vertical orientation, one would assume you'd have shot it thusly ;)
But yes, I looked at and prefer your lovely photo vertically.
thanks for the honest response, jan. I'll think some more about that before putting it in camera club competition.

WMRA Homepage Technical Info on WMRA website Photo Tour Site Info & Coverage The LINKY page ICE STORM DAMAGES WMRY SITE
Click on photo for a larger view
A severe winter storm hit western
Virginia on February 4, 1998. Although the precipitation was in the form of rain for much of the state east of the Blue Ridge,
the higher elevations east of the Ridge (such as our transmitter site serving Charlottesville) did receive quite a bit of sleet,
snow and frozen rain.
This is a picture of the Blue Ridge near Afton 4 days after the storm.
This ice, and some of the ice at the tower site, would likely be considered
Rime Ice, although some tower site ice appears to be due more to frozen rain than frozen fog.
Rime Ice is rare in Virginia, but quite common at Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
Even two weeks later, much of the Shenandoah National Park remained closed.
The powerline feeding the transmitter site comes straight up the mountain, and spans 1700 feet between poles.
You can get an idea how steep the slope is by looking at the powerline visible in the picture. One does not walk down the slope; leaping
would be a better description.
CVEC supplies power to the transmitter site. Here is a CVEC truck stopped while its crew chainsaws trees to gain access.
Because of more pressing concerns (houses without power), CVEC could not get to the site until Thursday.
The crew had worked almost non-stop for two days.
Note the powerline lying on the ground.
CVEC still could not gain access to the top of the line on Friday,
and finally brought a bulldozer in on Saturday. Power was restored late Saturday afternoon.
This picture also shows the feathery nature of rime ice.
This is our engineer, William Fawcett, standing in front of the tree that felled our powerline. Dirt from the rootwad visible in the background was thrown over 10
feet by the violent upheaveal, caused by a combination of the weight of the ice, high winds, and super-saturated soil.
Once power was restored, and access to the site was possible, repairs had to be made
to the antennas damaged on the ice-covered tower(photo 10K).
Note the rime ice actually filled in the spaces between the diagonals on the tower.
The antenna in the lower right suffered a bent boom and was pointing at the ground because of the sheer weight of the ice (photo 4K).
Temporary repairs were finally made on Sunday afternoon, and service to Charolttesville was restored.
Because of falling ice chunks weighing 10 to 20 pounds, repairs to the antenna had to be carefully
scheduled while temperatures were low. An adjacent building suffered extensive roof damage
(photo 47K). All three of our antennas were
further damaged on Monday, February 9th, when temperatures rose and large chunks began falling.
Pretty amazing, huh? All told, we lost two antennas. We made final repairs to our main
transmit antenna on March 27th (photo 18K).
In spite of all the problems, our engineer does enjoy the scenery. Here we are looking from the site towards Wintergreen.
While walking in to the site on February 5, our engineer saw 6 deer, 3 ruffed grouse, numerous turkey tracks, and a very large
Bobcat (up close and personal). What a job!

Mounted image 016: VLT and VISTA in early sunlight
This early morning shot shows the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) in front of the Paranal summit. VISTA is a wide-field telescope that will perform a series of very broad surveys of the sky in infrared light. VISTA surveys will create large catalogues of celestial objects for statistical studies for the identification of new targets for the VLT.

TWICHELL, WILLIS DAY (1864–1959). Willis Day Twichell, surveyor, was born on March 24, 1864, in Hastings, Minnesota, to Daniel Wilson and Sarah Catharine (Coons) Twichell. His mother died when he was four, and the boy spent part of his early years at his uncles' farms. His father, who had remarried, moved to Madison County, Ohio, in 1876, and Willis attended public schools in Minnesota and Ohio. In 1883 he graduated from National Normal University in Lebanon, Ohio, with a degree in civil engineering. Immediately thereafter he set up his civil engineering practice in Springfield, Ohio. In November 1885 he was employed by a local immigration company to go to West Texas and stake out the proposed county seat of Garden City, Glasscock County. At Big Spring in January 1886 Twichell met William S. Mabry, a surveyor employed by the Capitol Syndicate (see XIT RANCH), which was then building the Capitol at Austin. For Mabry, Twichell surveyed the Yellow Houses Division of the XIT Ranch, which the syndicate had established on lands it received for building the Capitol. After finishing this work, Twichell surveyed the Spring Lake Division. Twichell's education in cadastral surveying, astronomy, physics, and mathematics enabled him to use more precise methods of surveying than those that depended upon following directions indicated by a magnetic compass. With cadastral surveying, his east-west survey lines corrected for the curvature of the earth's surface.
Throughout the late 1880s Twichell and Mabry conducted right-of-way surveys for the Fort Worth and Denver City and Southern Pacific railroads in West Texas. During that time they maintained an office together in Tascosa, until Twichell moved his office to Amarillo in 1890. He continued doing railroad surveys and in 1893 helped plat the city of Enid, Oklahoma. On September 4, 1895, he married Eula Trigg. They had four daughters and a son; another son died in infancy. Twichell became involved in Amarillo's civic affairs and joined in the fight for prohibition; once he played host to Carrie Nationqv. He also taught school for two years (1895–97) at the precursor of Amarillo College. He also started the school band and in 1901 organized the Amarillo Concert Band. Between November 1900 and March 1916 Twichell worked as a state surveyor, although he kept his Amarillo office until he moved to Austin in 1918. He retired from active business on January 1, 1934, to become a consultant and moved to San Angelo, where he lived until his death on September 23, 1959. He was buried in Lawnhaven Cemetery in San Angelo. Later cadastral surveyors retracing his lines found them to be of high accuracy. His survey records, composed of many field books, working sketches, some 200 finished maps, field notes, and about 50,000 pages of correspondence, were purchased by six major oil companies a short time before Twichell's death and are kept in a private depository in Midland.
