One of the big things missing from 4e for my style of play is a good set of random encounter tables. Has anyone worked up a set of tables like you find in 1e (i.e., covers a variety of dungeon levels and terrains)?
EDIT: It's becoming clear that I'm a little overly ambitious, but I thought I'd be more specific, throw a bounty on it, and see if anyone finds anything. This may just not be out there yet, in which case formulating what I'm looking for is helping me figure out how I might be able to build one.
Ideally, the wilderness tables would be level-independent with a variety of encounter types for each terrain (e.g., aerial, beast, monster, humanoid, etc.)
The dungeon tables would be level dependent, but with a range of encounter levels possible as results for any given dungeon/character level.

Buenos Aires - Argentina
City Overview
Where to stay
Dining & drinking
Basic Facts
Three hundred years after its second founding in 1580, the port city of Buenos Aires started to thrive on the banks of the Río de la Plata. Over this 20-kilometre slope, the city grew and developed, especially in the areas of fine food production, meat and grain export. The diversity of immigrants who settled in Buenos Aires brought an infinite variety of cultures to the region, and of course, the flavours of distant countries.
Like any good bustling Metropolitan city, Buenos Aires offers a broad array of dining options. The city is now host to an increasing number of Asian and European restaurants, but is still best known for its parillas (steak houses) and Italian restaurants. Indeed, pizza is as popular here as in any college dorm room. The neighbourhoods best known for their fine dining would have to be Palermo, Recoleta, and
Puerto Madero
, but no matter where you are, you shouldn't have to travel far for a good meal.
There are a few other things one should keep in mind about dining in Argentina. Breakfast usually consists of medialunas (mini-criossants with sugar), or other small pastries, and coffee. Americans expecting bacon and eggs will be ridiculed. The most popular time to go out to dinner is probably between 8:30 and 10:00. Wines are very common, especially the local red Malbec, which is bold and smooth, often inexpensive, easy to drink, and goes well with many different meals. Coffee is probably as popular as wine. Most waiters speak English and often Italian. And dulce de leche (caramel) is king. Now, onto the main course.
One thing to become familiar with right off the bat is the extremely popular tea, maté. While it is tea, the Argentines guzzle it down like water. It is not uncommon to see people of all ages walking around with thermoses full of hot water ready to drown maté in little leather gourds. Maté is a social drink, usually passed from person to person. Although the bitter flavour takes some getting used to, the ritual of passing the maté is a beloved cultural practice and veritable rite of passage for outsiders. It is not the kind of thing one orders in a coffee shop, but more of a peasant tradition that absolutely everyone seems to take part in.
Beef, Beef, Beef!
It's tough to avoid in this city. Vegetarians can even be shunned if too outspoken against one of Argentina's biggest economic supporters, the cow. Parillas are like enormous steak houses that throw every cut on the grill and they are some of the best and most well-known restaurants in the city.
Puerto Madero
is the place to go for parillas, but of course, they're everywhere.
Siga La Vaca
is a great place for a large group. One flat fee and you get all you can eat beef, side dishes and enough wine to draw a bath. Another option on the beautiful docks is the
Spettus Steak House
. speciality dishes vary, but the best thing to do is ask the chef what the best looking cut of beef is for the day and you won't be steered wrong. One note of caution: be careful what you order because they will serve you parts of the cow you probably thought weren't edible. If you're not in the mood for steak after mulling that over, try
Pizza Banana
. They offer pizzas with some outrageous fruit and seafood toppings, and bring comfortable shoes because the dance floor gets crowded in the evenings. Also check out
, where the pastas are sublime and the salmon with shrimp and vegetables is a special treat.
San Telmo
San Telmo
is another neighbourhood known for its restaurants, but the real focus is on tango. Often these two go hand-in-hand as dinner precedes a music or dance show.
San Telmo
has a reputation for being a bit touristy and consequently charging too much, but there is still a lot to see and taste here. At
La Trastienda
, you can order a few empanadas and watch actors, dancers, or musicians, depending on the day. For an ethnic treat,
is an elegant restaurant that serves traditional Japanese cuisine, first and foremost, sushi. La Divina Comedia is as much of a social destination as it is a restaurant, very much in accordance with the Argentine way.
Recoleta is the most refined neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. Some of the most renowned international dining spots are located here.
La Biela
is a famous, very traditional cafe/bar with a lot of local flavour, especially suitable for racing fans. It was once a mecca for racing aficionados and has since retained much of that appeal. For a decidedly upscale outing,
is the perfect choice. One of the trendiest places in Buenos Aires, Lola serves contemporary French and European cuisine and is adorned with the artistic works of Hermenegildo Sabat. Champagne is a must, as is the Nahuel trout with pine nuts. For something less ostentatious, there is
Circolo Italiano
, another Recoleta spot, which offers lots of different dishes all reasonably priced, including a tantalizing mushroom risotto.
Palermo is probably the hottest area in Buenos Aires. There are lots of young people, lots of new bars, and yes, restaurants springing up left and right.
El Trapiche
is great for large groups, but don't be surprised if you have to wait, this place is constantly crowded. Another option is
for Indian food and an intimate atmosphere. Or try
for characteristically classy French cuisine, including spicy grilled deer, at surprisingly low prices.
While impossible to list all of the interesting dining options in Buenos Aires, at least a few from other neighbourhoods are worth mentioning.
Barrica Restaurante & Bistrot
is another restaurant, which also features tango, located in La Boca. Mexican food can be hard to come by in the city, but
Frida Khalo
in Belgrano serves tasty tacos and lots of tequila. There is also nearby
for a more stylish dining experience, but bring a bit more cash.
A classic tourist destination is
Café Tortoni
in the incomparable
Plaza de Mayo
. Coffee and pastry dishes here are popular, but the classic decor is the real selling point. Not to mention loads of wine and regular tango and jazz shows. Famous politicians and literary figures use to frequent this famous spot, which is rumored to be the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires.
Overall, the experience of dining in Argentina is whatever you wish to make it. There are expensive, stylish restaurants galore, but also plenty of good food at reasonable prices. The parillas are a must try. They offer incredible amounts of food and will more often than not serve you one of the best steaks of your life. Italian food is also ubiquitous and very popular among locals. While these are the most common options, the large number of immigrants in the city are opening more and more restaurants serving food from other corners of the world.

County students tap into power they have for change
Students at Snohomish, Monroe and Edmonds high schools will attend a rally on volunteerism this week in Seattle.
Submitted photo
Students from Vince Ivelia's leadership class at $START_URL$Snohomish High;http://shs.sno.wednet.edu/$STOP_URL$ School will attend We Day on Wednesday in Seattle to learn more about how they can help their communities.
Submitted photo
Snohomish High School student Lindsey Shackelford and her leadership class teacher Vince Ivelia.
What do you have? It's We Day.
The day-long celebration of the power of kids is meant to inspire them to help in their communities and around the world. It's happening Wednesday in Seattle, the first U.S. city to host the movement that has drawn big crowds across Canada.
About 8,000 kids came together for the first We Day at Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum in 2007. On Wednesday, about 15,000 are expected at KeyArena to learn how volunteerism can change the world.
Thirty students from Vince Ivelia's leadership class at Snohomish High School will be part of the crowd. "The kids are really excited. I envision it will create opportunities to do more," said Ivelia, also the school's ASB activities adviser.
You can't buy a ticket to We Day. Students earn their way in by completing service projects throughout the year. Schools and youth groups get involved by registering with We Act, a free, yearlong educational program highlighting volunteerism.
Ivelia said We Day organizers contacted many area schools. The program fit with what many students are already doing. "We brought it to our kids, and the kids are excited to be participating in this movement," he said.
We Day and We Act are organized by Free the Children, a nonprofit organization founded by brothers Marc and Craig Kielburger, Canadian activists and co-authors of "Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World" and "The World Needs Your Kid." Marc Kielburger talked about his own childhood initiatives to help other kids in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes."
According to Publishers Weekly, Craig Kielburger was a 12-year-old Toronto schoolboy when he read an article about a boy shot to death in Pakistan, presumably because he had spoken out against child labor.
The Canadian boy's reaction was to create Free the Children. Today, its global initiatives have tackled needs for clean water, health care, sanitation and agriculture in Africa and Latin America.
At Snohomish High, students conducted a blood drive and collected more than 3,000 pounds of food for the Snohomish Community Food Bank to get to We Day.
They also partnered with Monroe High School in a competition called "Cat Fight," raising $6,000 for the American Heart Association by selling "Cat Fight" T-shirts and collecting money at sports events. The feline fight refers to Snohomish Panthers vs. Monroe Bearcats.
"Cat Fight was a really good event. It was the first time doing it, bringing the two schools together," said Lindsey Shackelford, an 18-year-old Snohomish High senior who will be at We Day.
"I'm really excited to be able to go. It's a really good way to learn about more ways to get involved in the community," said Shackelford, a past ASB president at her school.
The We Day experience is meant to build on students' own volunteering. "We take our students to the food bank to see the impact they're making," Ivelia said. "We go there and work, and the kids get to see how real the need is."
Monroe School District spokeswoman Rosemary O'Neil said students from Park Place Middle School and Monroe High will go to We Day.
Students from the Edmonds School District will also be at We Day. Beth Marriott is activities coordinator at Meadowdale High School.
"I learned about this organization through a '60 Minutes' interview. My husband saw it and said, 'Why aren't you doing this at your school?'" Marriott said. "It was just in Canada then, that was my excuse."
Now that it's coming to Seattle, Marriott and her students can't wait. Projects at Meadowdale included selling bracelets to help children in Guatemala have the resources to attend school. They also collected items for Clothes for Kids, a charity that helps Edmonds district children, and held a food drive for the Lynnwood Food Bank.
She excited about the lineup of celebrity speakers, especially Magic Johnson. She saw the former basketball star once before -- up close.
"When I was in high school, in 1979, he was playing his inaugural season with the Lakers. They played the Sonics," she said. "I was sitting with a family in the front row, and he landed in my lap." That probably won't happen again Wednesday.
Marriott believes We Day will leave a lasting impression on kids.
"The message it sends is that it doesn't have to be a big gesture," she said. "It can be as simple as a car wash or a food drive."

Interested - 18 years or so.
Obsessed - mid 30's.
I've always loved fragrances, ever since I was a little kid. I remember rushing into every fragrance store available when going shopping with my parents. They always thought I was crazy
But it all started for real when I was 16 years old. The fragrance that got me into this was Ck One Shock for Him. I remember smelling it in a store and went home to search for it online to see what others had to say about it. I noticed different fragrances sites, reviewers on youtube. It was like opening a door to a new world. I knew that fragrances was going to be my thing. I was hooked, and I still am.
My collection is small, 15 bottles as of yet, all of them are sweet sugary gourmands!
I'm 18 years old, and I know that fragrances is what I want to spend the rest of my life working with!
So, how old were you when your interest in fragrances started?
Interested - 18 years or so.
Obsessed - mid 30's.
Around 14 I started to have a full-scale fragrance hobby: just received my first designer fragrance and it made me passionate for more.
Moderately interested: even when I was 6, 7 or 8 (except one headache caused by bad fragrances around the same age), I was genuinely fascinated by the finer, smoother, more complex colognes grownups were wearing and even at that I age I must have known/though (even subconsciously) "this is what I will do, what I will use and I will smell like someday".

Around 13. My pops used a few frags, and I would take a few sprays of one of his often before going to school.
Around 12 year old I used to secretly wear my brothers CK One and fathers Obsession to school. Later on I stuck to one fragrance, Boss Bottled throughout my adulthood. Totally oblivious there was this wonderful world of fragrances till a year ago.
Always asked for cologne for Christmas since I was a small child. Got serious about it when I discovered BN in 2002/2003 (in my early 20's).
20 years old.
Er, I got into it about 3 months ago. I'm 32 and a self confessed late bloomer!
18 years old.
19. I'm 21 now.
Oh, I'd say about 11 to start (was given a bottle of Aqua Velva and a bottle of Jade East by my older brother), but took on an interest of my own at about age 14. This was the late '80's, really a great time for scents. Not tons of nameplates, but the department stores were filled with brands that had tons of history. Everything back then had backbone and was potentially polarizing. Flankers were just about nonexistant. It was an amazing time.
15 years old (now I am 32)
It was in 1995 when my parents bought me Hugo by Hugo Boss.
"PLAIN LIVING, HIGH THINKING" O.W., De Profundis
One can not prove the beauty, but show it. You see it or you don't. Darkness - for the blinds.
Real beauty: 1) Frederic Malle 1-20 2) Chanel Egoiste 3) YSL Opium pour Homme edp 4) TF Noir de Noir
Noses: 1) Jacques Cavallier 2) Maurice Roucel
About 14 or 15 and I was only interested in the older more well developed girls we hung out with who were not at all shy about telling me that 14 or 15 sprays was not at all attractive. Took me a year or two to calm down.
when i first smelled allure homme about 8 years ago. at that time i had under 10 scents. now i am approaching 300 not including samples and decants!!!
was probably like 6 years old, i allways had good sense of smell...and remember my favourite teacher...was 80s wore some perfume...it was soo classy ...then later i started stealing perfumes from my mum...
i remember she used to get Anais anais as a present...and allways that same frag, so i wore it a lot ...then i remember Angel ...then Naomi Campble 1st scent i bought myself, jeez thats good!...
then i went into one empty phase...where i liked more "non scented perfumes"...something light...then ......i figured out all perfumes are the same and its the waste of money....i visited only mainstream perfume shops....then i bought Dior cherie after searching for months for something that will justify spending money on it ....and then nothing again becasue llast search was too exhausting....
and then 1 year ago, discovered niche shop with Amouages, i bought like 18 frags in less then a year!!, before i felt bad if i had 3 of them at one time ...and i blame it on perfume forums! i would not get that idea to own so many myself hehe

Since my teens I've always had around a dozen or so bottles of various designer colognes (mainly received as gifts). But now I've almost tripled my collection in the span of 3-4 months thanks to this forum.
Parents wore Fragrance (still do )
I remember dad's Brut, i was six. Mom had Miss Dior, and a little amber bottle of patchouli. When dad left he left behind a bottle of Monsieur Rochas. I wore it to a party when I was eleven, and it didn't lasted. By the time we got there it was already gone. Later I found out it was an Aftershave, and learned the difference with the other concentrations.
Got some Avons (the classic Corvette shaped green glass bottle and Ginseng, I believe it was called and had a red dragon painted around the bottle).....
I've always been fascinated with fragrances as my relatives had a lot around. I would guess that I started at the age of 3-4.
Opium, Poison, Antaeus, Pour Monsieur, No. 5, Polo, Drakkar Noir...etc. All the heavy hitters. I remember they would go on trips and bring back sets of perfume miniatures just to give to the kids to play with. Growing up, in the back of my head I've always wanted to go searching for my Holy Grail. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago (I'm 24 now) that I actually started on my scent journey and I am having the most fun in the world!
1 year. Almost to the day. Went out to replace my used up bottle of Hugo Element last February. Never heard of Creed, 1 Million, or Acqua di Gio. Now one yer later I have over 130 bottles, dozens of splits, few hundred samples... Yes, I did pick up that Hugo Element also. Not sure what triggered what in my brain...
13 - That was in 1964 - you do the math......
5-6 I think - my grandfather's friend used to make ether based parfum's in my city back in India (it actually wasn't a city at that stage in my life).
21 - Collection started from day 1 of my 1st job.
34 / Now - thinking of getting a 2nd job to keep up the expenses on parfums
Great stories guys! Thank you for sharing them, keep 'em up!

I can remember my father using CK Eternity - I can't have been more than three years old at the time. I distinctly remember him because of that smell, and I could tell where he had been in the house, when he was in and when he was out traveling. That stuck with me, and I've always liked fragrances, BUT I didn't really start it as a hobby until two years ago. Up to then I'd just this and that, mostly the odd Boss or Calvin Klein (and Kouros when I was 13-14, what the hell ...). I also remember my dad starting to use Aqua Di Parma Colonia and Creed Original Vetiver a long time ago. I had no idea what they were all about at that time, but I do remember them smelling fantastic. No surprise I have them in my collection now, I guess.
Anyways, a very good friend of mine entered the fragrance hobby about two and a half years ago, and I got to smell Aventus because of him, and I was basically sold - this at the age of 28. I'd never experienced such a fragrance with such a depth and broad specter of AWESOME. That experience really hit home, and I purchased my first niches not many weeks after, in addition to receiving my own Aventus as a Christmas present. From there on it's just been a rush of great fragrances, and I'm happy I've been fortunate enough to pick up many of the perfumes I have in my collection today.

I really didn't like fragrances until around 40! Now I have around 40 bottles!
Can't remember exactly, but it was pre-teens-ish. 11 or 12 maybe even 13.
I was at kinder. Weird, I know.
Bad girls don't cry but get even.
About 15 when I began taking an interest, but I did not really zero in on actively looking for new fragrances until I was in my early thirties.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
Started at the age of 12(circa 1994).
Intrested 16 years. First was more into fashion. Now I'm in my 30ies and I can say that collecting fragrances still is less pricy than being a fashion adict!
So I'm very happy now!
I'm 29 now, and I was about 19 when it all started. I would smell Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male on many of the guys at my school, and I loved the smell, but I had no idea what the cologne was. One day, I sat next to a guy who I thought was wearing the unknown cologne, so I asked him what it was. Joop Pour Homme. So I bought it. Before I finished that bottle, I got a little tired of it and wanted to replace it with something else, so I started searching online for other fragrances. That's when I came across perfumeemporium, which had many user reviews on many different colognes. I would spend a lot of time reading about these fragrances, and then going to the Macy's to try them. Eventually, I came across Basenotes, and the rest is history. So that was how I first got into fragrances. So really, we have Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male to thank. :-)
I developed a small interest last year at the age of 23. My dad always uses powerhouse fragrances like Quorum, Drakkar Noir and Aramis. I tried out Drakkar Noir, loved it and bought a 30ml bottle. When it ran out, I wanted to try something different, so I went to a department store and as soon as I smelled D&G The One, I just HAD to have it. I had no idea whatsoever about projection and longetivity at the time, all I knew was that it smelled great. After buying it, I started reading up on it and it lead me to BN. Had I read up on it earlier, I probably wouldn't have bought it lol.
That is when my obsession started and now I've got about 10 different bottles, plenty of decants, and many more samples .
Well it started in high school I guess around 14yrs old. Started getting into it more by the age of 25!
12 or so.
I started to wear fragrances when i was 10 but before, when i was a younger child, i used to "prepare" sort of brutal botanic concoctions mixing flowers and plants from the garden of my mum (really angry for that).
A kind old lady, perfume shop owner, used to give me Guerlain samples and miniatures when I was more or less 8.. It all began then!
I started getting into niche perfumery about 16 years ago, but I've been seriously expanding my collection only in the past two years.

By age 12 I had a signature scent - Dante Original. I'd spend my allowance/paper route/odd job money on it. One day at the mall I had just bought a new bottle and was excitedly taking it out of the bag to show my best friend when it slipped out of my hands and smashed on the sidewalk. I looked down in shock and disbelief. The universe contracted and focused on that stain on the concrete, the glass shards, the severed label. It was an existential moment. "That's the best-smelling sidewalk I've ever smelled," my friend said.

Started to like frags when I was about 10. Brut, Jovan Musk, Mandate, Yardley Gold, Hallmark by Lentheric, Tabac! Hi Karate, Blue Stratos. Have always had 2 or 3 bottles, but wasn't until Sep 2012 at 36, that I started to collect. Now have 30 bottles,which is about the perfect number for me.
I remember my mother kissing me goodnight from forever before she went to supper. Her hair was all pinned up and her long soft gloves caressed my face, her necklaces tickling my nose as she bent to my bedside. She always had a cloud of scent around her and it was left with me as she left. She was so glamorous and so beautiful. Long elegant evening dresses and long sparkly earrings.
I used to always make rose petal perfume in a jam jar as a child. My grandmother gave me my own very tiny bottle of Je Reviens by Worth when I was fairly young. I remember it had a tiny pouch it slipped into and it was blue and round and flat. It was my prize possession and I would open it and sniff and never use much. My mother later gave me Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden. When I was a teenager my fathers business was cosmetics. I dabbled in aromatherapy, I collected vintage frags and eventually became a trainee perfumer by default. I still make tinctures all the time and brew my own ingredients, so nothing has really changed from the beginning. Perfume is just always there in everything I have ever done and probably ever will do.
My oldest son since about the age of five could and can recognise the right people from items of clothing left in our house, even relative strangers who have only been once or twice but had scent on. His nose is quite extraordinary and he can smell the tiniest of scent trails and then know what the smell is.
15 yr old. My mom bought me my first "real" fragrance, which was CD Eau de Sauvage. (What a coincidence, i just received this week a bottle of Paco Rabanne vintage; the scent my mom's man friend used to wear that time in the 80's)
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
I was like 8 or 9 I think when my mother became an Avon sales representative , I was smelling all the stuff people bought from her.
Now I'm 20 .
Early. As a kid, I would get doused with Pinaud Clubman at the barber shop and always got a squirt of Old Spice from my grandfather. Also liked my dad's Canoe.
Interested - 14
Obsessed - 32
When I was 14 I bought a bottle of Eddie Bauer cologne and wore Brut, and I absolutely loved them. It only took 15 years for me to come full circle and get into frags. But I guess now that I think about it the best memories of my youth are scent memories. Mom cooking roast dinner etc. The sense of smell has always moved me more than any other.
I've been interested in fragrance since as a 6yr old I first saw the opening few minutes of Disney movie 'The Rescuers' when the classy lady mouse 'Miss Bianca' takes out an old bulb style bottle of perfume and spray it on herself, thereby announcing to the room that she is the classiest, most beautiful lady mouse in the room! ^_^ I know it sounds silly, but it was seriously at that moment that a love for the idea of perfume was born. When I was 14 I purchased my first bottle (a $10 rip off of angel at a showground!) which reminded me of my earlier interest and sparked some serious reading of perfume blogs and sites such as fragrantica and nowsmellthis.com. I begun doing trips to department store specifically for perfume smelling. Then, a few months ago, my boyfriend and I got talking about my interest in perfume, and he resolved to make me one! This first perfume (which he successfully gifted me a few weeks later) had lead to a full blown perfume making hobby/.obsession for both of us, and we now aim to make a range of perfumes to take to markets!

when I was 18 I asked for something "different" at a Macy's perfume counter. I hated the "barbershop" smell, and the "woody ambers" that my father wore. The sales associate suggested Aramis 900. I just about did a back flip. LOL

Post subject: Questions and Answers (check first)
Got questions about the functioning of this site? About how stuff works? See if it's already been asked, or fire away!
1) What does this site do?
This site displays the latest comics available from a variety of sites along with the date and time of their last update.
We do this to enable internet geeks to keep up with their favourite webcomics quickly and easily, without having to check indivdual sites just to find updates. This is especially useful if you do not have a fast internet connection.
2) How does it work?
A perl script periodically checks the comic pages of the sites listed in our database to see if a new comic has been added. If this is the case then the last update time in the database is altered and the comic appears updated on the website.
3) What happened to the program?
The program was discontinued as it was not very stable and lacking time meant that no improvements were planned.
The program is currently being re-developed and will hopefully be released soon.
4) Will you list my comic?
Certainly, just use the suggest a comic page to add comics to the site.
5) What comics can't you check for updates?
In order to check a comic for updates there needs to be a single HTML page that shows the latest comic on that site. Currently we cannot checksites that primarily use flash as there is no way of determining when a comic has been updated.
6) How long does it take for a comic to be processed?
It may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks before a comic is checked for updates, depending on how busy I am. Please bear in mind that I work through the list of requested comics in order so it may take a while before I get to your comic.
I generally process comics within a few days, but ocassionally work over powers me. If your comic hasn't been processed after a few days, please do not panic, I will get to it eventually.
7) What will you use my email address for?
Your email address is used as your account username, it will never be revealed to 3rd parties or displayed on this website. The only time your email address if ever used is when you enter it to log back into the system.
8 ) Comics keep appearing as unhidden, why?
Everytime a new comic is added to the site you as a user have set to preferences about it, i.e. you haven't selected it as hidden or as a favourite.
If you do not wish new comics to appear on list, please change the setting in your preferences, this will hide all new comics.
9) How do you decide what comics are related?
The decision on which related comics are displayed on the comic profile pages is quite a simple one.
The list is generated from the favourites kept in peoples profiles, we then remove any comics in your favourites or hidden lists to suggest new comics that you hopefully won't have seen before.
10) How does the ranking algorithm work?
The ranking algorithm works by considering the number of visits per update. We do this to ensure that popular comics that update infrequently get a fair ranking.
Certain other things are taken into consideration when doing comic rankings but we would prefer to keep those secret.
11) Some comics disappear from my unread comics list, why?
We're not quite sure why this is but if you click the 'mark all comics read' option it should fix this error for you

Comic Status Explained
In total there are 6 different status values that a comic can have, below is the list:
Pattern Not Matching
This shows a fault either with the pattern using to watch for updates or with the comic site itself.
Often this is caused when comics authors change the layout of their site or do something special for a one off guest strip. If the comic site is producing a irregular error message (such as a notice informing that the bandwidth limit has been exceeded) then this will also result in this status being shown.
Could Not Connect to Site
Less serious than the above, this does exactly what it says on the tin: the crawler could not connect to the comic site to check for updates.
This could either be due to network problems or the web server that the comic site is hosted on, these problems normally clear up after a few days.
Not Yet Processed
This means that the comic has been added to the site but the crawler does not yet check if for updates. This is because each comic has to have a manual entry to enable us to check for updates.
The comic will move from this status when a pattern is entered by someone on the admin team for this comic
Not Checked For Updates
Quite simply we do not check this comic for updates. This can be for many reasons, maybe the comic has now finished or is incompatible with our crawler.
Updates Processed Manually
A few select comics which cannot be processed by the crawler have their updates entered manually, usually by the comic owner. You have to be special to have this status assigned to your comic!
The most common status (hopefully!), this means that everything is functioning as it should. On the last attempt the crawler managed to connect to the comic site and its pattern matched, this one is good.

I have taken the code for the ranking button and inserted my comic's ID number into it. But where on my site would it be best to put that code? My home page? The comic page that is my update page? Or is it supposed to go someplace more specific in order for my comic to be able to be ranked eventually.

I believe HTML is always off. In your profile, does it say [url=link-url-goes-here][img]image-url-goes-here[/img][/url] ?

Post subject: Gaming vs. Geeky
Not sure if this is the right place to ask--apologies if it's not, I only found this site recently!
Anyway, I'd like to submit the comic I'm involved with (Aggrocomic.com) to the site, but I'm not sure what the distinction between a "gaming" comic and a "geeky" comic is. My guess is that the gaming comics comment very directly on gaming news/events, while geeky comics are more character driven? Just guessing...
Thanks for helping a newbie out!

Post subject: Crawler compatibility
You need the following code in your main page:

Where 28/03/2008 is the date of the most recent update.
If you use ComicPress to power your site, I've found a way to do this automatically. In your Theme Functions file (functions.php) insert the following code in the comic_display() function:
$WCLDate = mysql2date('d/m/Y', $post->post_date);
echo "\n";
Do it just above the other "echo" command, as that is where the comic is actually displayed. Refresh your page and look at the source code, and you will find the crawler's comment inserted automagically. I've been using this tweak for months without issues.
EDIT: for some reason my sig isnt showing up... but if you want to see the code in action check my site, which should have been linked by it.

Hope this is the right section for this...
I can't change the info in my profile... I update it, it says it updated, but it stays the same and never changes. Which is bad because my URL has changed but it won't list the new one.

Folks, we are facing our worst-case scenario: By a vote of 85-71, the Missouri House of Representatives has just joined the Missouri Senate in passing Senate Bill 113. This Bill would result in the total repeal of Prop B—also known as the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act—and wipe out the provisions to protect puppy mill dogs Missouri citizens fought for.
"On November 2, Missourians went to the polls, and Prop B won with the support of nearly a million Missouri voters," says Cori Menkin, ASPCA Senior Director of Legislative Initiatives. "Whether you care about ending puppy mill cruelty or the democratic process, this attack on the will of the people is appalling."
It is now in the hands of Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to stop this assault on voters' rights—and our team is on full alert ready to take necessary action. Please stay tuned for breaking news regarding the repeal of Prop B.
To repeat Prop. B just doesn't stink for the animals but for the citizens who voted for it. Democracy is dead.
you people make me sick millions of people dieing for thousands of reasons every day and you want sympathy for a bunch of dogs atleast civil rights activists cared about people you people would probly see a dog and a little child drowning and save the dog. prisons all over the US hold people in inhumane cells and promote rape and you get on the go because of dogs? wheres your humanity?
Jim you're not very bright. Your mindless hatred for animals doesn't make you a better person.
I agree with you, Sean. I understand that people need help as well, but we're trying to save them all. No one should knock someone else for helping whomever or "whatever" life is out there!! If they have a passion for the hungry/poor/persecuted, they have time to do it, as well, right?
My guess is that you're probably intimately familiar with prison cells, and there may have been a dog involved in your experience of such matters. This issue is not about civil rights activists, jts about cruelty to animals.
OMG are you kidding. You are an absolute freaking jerk with no compassion at all. People have the means to do good things or bad things with their lives its a choice. Just look at the teens in Oklahoma under 18 that just thought "it would be fun to shoot someone cause they were bored" All animals dogs, cats, birds etc. need help to live a healthy, happy life So therefor we have shelters for animals that PEOPLE just don't want anymore so they dump them or kill them needlessly. I am praying there is a bill that would make every single pet owner to spay and/or neuter their pets. That would help tremendously. So for the HATER. You need help
I've got my humanity you dumb ass. Stop and think. They are live creatures just like you. They need us. By the way, do you hate little kids as much as animals and don't you think you should go soak your head in a big bucket of water? I'll watch.

Hello friends and neighbors. It is good to see you here. Happy New Year.
New Year's Resolution
What a difference a year makes. On
Bob was like the best brother, coming by most mornings, having "board" meetings over lunch at Hardee's, and freeing me to do a hundred other things. Bob was a retired Marine with PTSD. Living at the campground by the water soothed his soul and helping with the campground gave him purpose. Bob always said I saved him but the truth is, we saved each other.
Sandy and Bob loved the granddaughters.
Brenda was more like a sister. We traveled the road together. She was the best aunt and great aunt, always spending time with us and there for every occasion.
So, on Jan. 1, 2013, I am not going to make a resolution to lose weight, to exercise more or to save money; those are important and but more important, I am going to resolve to love and appreciate more the people that bless my life while I can. I am going to strive to say thank you for everything and tell them what they mean to me, what they have meant in my life. I am going to try to show up for every occasion; I am going to call regularly and be there when they need me. I am going to listen more and speak less; I'm not going to give them any advice just support. I am going to be more tolerant and less critical; I am going to love people as I find them. I am going to pray for them and thank God for them everyday. If I get busy and forget, please remind me because friends and family are too soon gone.
Flow through money
I deposited money in the bank just before Christmas, the bank added a zero, and I received a $6,000 Christmas present. Wow, I was psyched. It didn't take but two to three days before the bank noted its error and I was poor again, but "for one brief shining moment." I wondered what would have happened if I had withdrawn the money or transferred it to my savings account. Would I have gone to jail for fraud? Regardless, my faith would not sit still for that.
I gathered the family checks together to pay taxes on family land and deposited them in a different bank at lunch time on Dec. 19. The deposit slip showed more than $100 in access of what I thought I had but I didn't have time to circle the bank and get in line again. I barely got back to The Daily News before the bank clerk was calling me to apprise me of the bank error.
I have to tell you, all of this makes me nervous. These are the people I entrust with my hard earned money. What about the times that the amount was recorded less and I missed it? Even these electronic times require vigilance in physically balancing checking accounts and that's why I like a hard copy. It's is evidence that I once had money, however small amount.
When my husband was in college at
When I do make an error, the bank charges me big time, $35. There's no reciprocity. Why doesn't the bank pay me $35 for their mistakes, for breaking my heart and taking back my generous Christmas present? What kind of Scrooges take back a Christmas present? I am sure I should get some monetary compensation for mental anguish and pain and suffering. That's fair. The really fair thing would be to do away with fees because we all make mistakes. For the big deliberate stuff, there is law enforcement.
Why do banks provide so many teller windows but only staff two or three? Why do Wal-Mart and other large retailers do the same? It must be like the Field of Dreams and the

Everything fit as designed. No interference issues. Nice black anodize finished along with required fasteners already provided. Easy install.
However, it would be nice to be able to buy the dropout kit as a set. Aside from purchasing the left and right dropouts individually, you still need to purchase the OEM Intense 12x142 bolt-on axle separately. Other Syntace QR skewer like Shimano will not work since it has a different thread pitch (courser vs fine thread for Intense.)

When Britney came to the ASPCA through the Humane Law Enforcement department, she was in pain and suffering from multiple untreated conditions.
Fortunately, the veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital was able to nurse Britney back to health, and eventually she became available for adoption; we could finally find a home for this sweet dog who had suffered so much.
We knew it would be a challenge.
Statistically speaking, animals who are black, large or senior, as well as those who take medication or can't live with other animals, usually spend more time waiting for homes. Britney was all of these things, and to make matters worse, she didn't engage much with adopters who passed her habitat, preferring to rest quietly.
Still, we knew that the right person would come for Britney, and to speed things along, we spread the word about this special canine. After seeing Britney's picture and reading about her, Kevin Bechard tells us, "I wanted to snatch her right up."
A few days later Bechard was going above and beyond to help Britney settle in to her new home in suburban Connecticut.
"The first couple nights I actually slept on the floor with her because she can't do stairs, and she would just reach out with her paw and make sure it was against me," he recalls. "Only then she would allow herself to go to sleep. If I moved away a little bit, her eyes would open."
The love and comfort of a forever home has revived Britney, who has blossomed into a trusting and happy pup: Bechard reports that at his house Britney loves romping outdoors and goes on multiple nature walks a day.
In return, Bechard has gained a new best friend who, he says, never required house-training or manners instruction, thanks to her age. "I wish more people would consider older dogs," Bechard says. "I was open to anything, but I was so pleasantly surprised."
Thank you Kevin for seeing beyond Britney's age and health issues and bringing her into your life and loving her. Seniors are so often left behind. We have adopted several seniors over the years and have found them to be wonderful and loving family members. Our latest two are a 12-15 yr old Yorkie found on the streets. We named him Alf. He has a multitude of health issues but he sure has come a long way in several months. We also adopted a toy Poodle, Peaches, whose mom had to go to an assisted living apt. and was unable to take her. She is 12 yrs old. They are both the loves of our lives. I will continue to adopt Seniors or Special Needs dogs as they have a special place in our hearts.
Congrats Kevin! Senior dogs are wonderful and as important, adoption rules !
All of my animals are rescues and never for a second have I regretted the pleasure of having been saved by them
So happy to hear Britney got a 2nd chance!
So happy to hear Britney got a 2nd chance!
thank you so much for doing this for her. she's been through so much & because of you she can experience that NOT ALL PEOPLE are bad! THANK YOU!
Congratulations on your dog!! I have had many older dogs and each and every one has made me a better person. They have many lesson to give and teach us. When I am going through some very tough times I will think of all the inspirational stories and unconditional love these very special senior ambassadors brought with them. They never gave up no matter how much they were hurting or what the odds were. They have all gone to the Rainbow Bridge now but I know in my heart that I have some very special angels on my shoulders and next to me! Today I have two very special middle aged Maltese rescue dogs in my life. When I am able to add or help another senior I will be very happy to do so.
I always root for the older dogs! I also adopted a senior and she is such a delight. This story pulls at the heart strings. There are humans that are truly guardian angels,like this Mr. Bechard. Mr. Bechard, I hope that you read this and are aware of the good that you did for Britney. It would be a better place for humans and dogs if the world had more people like you.
that is one brave dog i wish i could have one of those <3
Being old, large and black, this dog could be very difficult to adopt out. However, labs are loving dogs. I was just talking to a lady who had one till she was 14 and now has another 14 year old lab. My dog is 14 too. He is much easier to care for than when he was a puppy, yet still is lively!
What a great story. Lucky dog, and lucky Kevin!

It took less than an hour for New Bern's volleyball team to continue its unblemished early start.
The Bears (2-0) made light work of Craven County rival Havelock in three sets on Wednesday at Havelock High – 25-6, 25-13, 25-7.
"I'm not complaining too much," said New Bern coach Tori Bennett. "In a way, a game is practice. It's nice to be able to get a game over with, but at the same time, they love playing."
After dominating the first two sets, Olivia Mitchell had 15-straight service points to give New Bern a 23-5 advantage in the final set.
"I bet her shoulder is sore," Bennett said. "I was impressed that she could keep it up with that consistency."
Following a Havelock point, Emma Melton and Bailey Jordan each had kills to push New Bern to its second win in two days.
Brittany McKeon had three service aces in a row to secure the first set. Olivia Stewart's kill ended the second set, putting the Bears in control.
"I tell them to practice their plays that we practice, the new plays," Bennett said. "I tell them these (non-conference) games don't really matter, so it's their time to try new things."
Stewart, New Bern's senior setter, distributed seven assists to go along with eight kills.
"She is one of our captains," Bennett said. "She is a great communicator and really great at controlling a play, which is important for a setter. I trust her to make calls."
Mitchell led New Bern with 25 service points. Caitlin Solter had six kills, Melton had four and Sydney Gilgo and Jordan each had three.
Everyone on New Bern's varsity roster got in the match.
"The way I do rotations, especially for varsity, everyone gets to play in the first three (sets)," Bennett said. "If we are having to go into fourth or fifth sets, that's where the rotation gets picked more.
"Everyone gets to play right off the bat."
Havelock, playing its first match of the season, got within 4-3 in the first set and 10-7 in the second set but couldn't consistently make plays.
Sha'Nice Frazier had three kills for the Rams and MaKayla Brown had four service points.
New Bern travels to West Craven on Thursday for its third match of the week. Havelock (0-1) travels to Pamlico on Thursday.

Mariners' Montero avoids serious injury
Seattle catcher hit in head with bat on swing by Indians' Lindor
Gregory Bull / Associated Press
A welt forms on the side of the head of Mariners catcher Jesus Montero after he was hit by a bat on a swing by the Indians' Francisco Lindor during the second inning of Saturday's spring training game.
Gregory Bull / Associated Press
Mariners starting pitcher Blake Beavan allowed nine runs -- eight earned -- on 16 hits in 51/3 innings in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians in Peoria, Ariz.
They've had a few minor dings and dents -- a stiff neck here, some tight leg muscles there -- but they've avoided the season-affecting injuries that can cripple a team.
It looked as though that run of good fortune was going to come to an end on Saturday afternoon at Peoria Stadium in a 10-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
In the top of the second inning, starting pitcher Blake Beavan delivered a 1-0 fastball to touted Indians prospect Francisco Lindor. The switching-hitting infielder -- batting left-handed -- took a wild hack at the pitch, missing badly. And yet there was the sound of his wood bat colliding with something a second after the pitch went by.
It wasn't the ball. It was Jesus Montero's head and catching helmet.
Lindor's follow through on the swing drilled Montero on the right side of his head. The catcher crumpled to the ground and into a fetal position. He lay motionless in the dirt as Mariners trainers and manager Eric Wedge rushed to his aid.
After a few minutes, a groggy Montero sat up. It was than a egg-sized knot on the right side of his forehead became visible. The trainers got Montero to his feet and had him carted off the field.
Preliminary tests indicated Montero did not suffer a concussion.
"I was just hoping he was OK, and the reports are that he is," Wedge said. "It's always scary when something like that happens up around the head."
Montero has battled concussions in his past. Last season, he took a foul tip off a 92 mph fastball from Hector Noesi on the forehead of his mask. It left him woozy. He was later diagnosed with a minor concussion and missed a handful of games.
Wedge said he would meet with Montero after Saturday's game to see how he's feeling. It's likely he could miss a few days.
Wedge joked that it might take a few days for the massive welt to shrink so Montero is able to get his helmet on again.
What wouldn't be funny is if Montero had to start the season on the disabled list. The Mariners only have one other catcher -- Kelly Shoppach -- on the roster. The team would likely use Jesus Sucre as his backup, but they would have to put Sucre on the 40-man roster. With the potential of a few other non-roster players making the team, having to make an additional roster move might cost the Mariners a player or two.
Beavan hit hard
No matter what Blake Beavan tried to do, he couldn't stop the hits from coming. The Mariners starting pitcher fought his way through 51/3 innings and his pitch count reached 100 pitches -- which was the goal of his outing. However, giving up nine runs (eight earned) on 16 hits is not something that was enjoyable for Beavan.
To be fair, of those 16 hits, there were more than a few bloopers, broken bat bleeders and ground balls with eyes.
"He just wasn't as crisp as he was the last time out," Wedge said. "We got him up to 100 pitches which we needed to do. I liked the way he fought through it."
Still, 16 hits is a lot and Beavan had never given up that many in a start in his baseball career.
"That was a fiesta today," Beavan said. "I couldn't believe it myself. Every time I tried to make a better pitch or when I did make a good pitch, they still found a way to get a hit. It was just one of those days where you can only do so much."
Beavan did give up some hard-hit balls. Cord Phelps and Jason Giambi hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning.
"I was having trouble getting the ball down today, whether it was a good pitch or a bad pitch," Beavan said. "When I got ahead, I just couldn't put them away."
Obviously, the result wasn't ideal. But Wedge said it wasn't going to knock Beavan out of the competition for a starting rotation spot.
"You evaluate everything -- the good days and the not so good days," he said. "Then you figure out why. We assess everything in its entirety. We talk about their path to get here and where they are right now."
Short hops
The club officially released pitcher Jon Garland and first baseman Mike Jacobs from their minor league contracts on Saturday. ...

It's an okay price, but if your desperate for this particular keyboard with brown switches, go for it.
I was going to jump on a Ducky Shine II, but Corsair announced their K95 (White LED, Full Red Cherry MX, set of macro keys, and black aluminum for about $150). I currently own a Razer Black Widow Ultimate (blue switches) and a Rosewill RK-9000RE (red switches).

Yeah, as I said, it is an okay price.
Ducky Shine II is rare, much more rare than Corsair.
For many, mks are a matter of personal preference.
Corsairs are great, and you can easily get it @Amazon, Newegg, and other retailers
Duckys are rare and you cannot get them locally, incl. Amazon.
So this deal is not hot price-wise, it is hot just because it is a hot commodity.
12:41pm - 3 left, white LED, I think will go OOS in less than 10 mins

Agreed. Filcos are reputable, and also are rare.
I just wanted one for the office, and red/blue LED for a young professional in formal settings are not too suitable, as are perhaps white LED lol but at least whites are more neutral
I could not find anything in the US, and was just waiting, so finally the wait is over
OK. So I went ahead and got one. I was considering a DAS keyboard, but I did some quick research and this is supposed to be constructed a little bit better. Since they are about the same price and this one is back lit I went with this one.
It kind of sucks that mechanicalkeyboards.com is running a promo tomorrow for $7 shipping and these will be sold out by then. Oh well. I guess it is just $2.
I had DAS, and sold it because keys sucked (common problem with sticky keys), I was one of those unlucky ones who got the newest model, after the company changed their supplier/assembler. This is my first Ducky, but I also was reading a lot and it is commonly considered to be the top-notch maker, specifically Ducky's DK9008 Shine II - a flagman model.
I think blue would probably be the best color for the eyes (if you are working in the dark), but I think white would be second nicest. I'm not sure how I would feel about red. I agree that white is probably best for a professional work environment.
I don't think my first order went through as I had no email confirmation. So I went back and had to do it all again. The order form on that site is not so great. Needs work. So I might have gotten the last one. Or maybe two or three. Who knows. LOL
I never purchased from them, so had to look em up @ FB. They seem to be responsive, am sure if you ordered two, you can call em up, they will fix it
Orange just looks unusual. Blue LED remains the most popular, for all computer-related stuff: fans, cases, kb, etc.
You cannot imagine how excited I am!!! I was waiting like for 2 months, pre-order was not possible, so I was just waiting and waiting a bit more, and some more waiting and then on Monday they posted FB update that comes Wed they are expecting a new shipment, so since yesterday's midnight I was hitting F5
