Tucson Weekly's Nostalgia = Classic D&D Paranoia
(Back from Origins safe and sound. I'll have a full report finished and posted soon, but until then...)
The Tucson Weekly's Nostalgia feature brings back a cover story from 25 years ago - "Dungeons & Dragons: Playing With Fire?"
"Many of the fantasy and role-playing games are smack in the middle of the occult, and that's the truth," says Jack Gracie. Gracie is the spokesman for Tucson's Christian Awareness Fellowship, a "non-profit interdenominational Christian group primarily devoted to educating the body of Christ concerning the cults and the occult."
Sadly, they don't reprint the entire article, so we don't know how balanced the story is. But given the time period, I think we could make an educated guess. If anyone has a copy of the full story, please let me know.
Full article is here
Through an unexpected series of events, it looks like I will be able to attend Origins.
I'm bringing a modest amount of RPG stuff so that I can run some totally off-the-cuff games with whoever happens to be walking by. So if you're going to be there, look me up! The best way to get in touch is through the Escapist Twitter account.
Hope to see you there!
Teaching Gifted Students with D&D
The Austin Daily Herald brings us this story on the third annual Gifted and Talented Symposium in Austin, Texas, where Educational Psychology professor Bonnie Cramond discussed her methods of using Dungeons & Dragons to teach mythology to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders:
Cramond brought the fantasy game presentation to the symposium, ready to explain how in the early '80s she used a barebones version of Dungeons and Dragons to get middle school students to work together and absorb the material in a different way.
Sadly, most of these sorts of creative learning programs were shut out during the Satanic Panic era of the 1980s, when many parents were filled with the fear that anything related to role-playing games was evil and dangerous.
Thankfully however, we are past that era, and most people have a fair to good understanding about what RPGs really are. Now it's just a matter of spreading the word of how beneficial RPGs can be to the learning process, and trying to put programs like this one back into place in schools everywhere.

Free RPG Day is this Saturday!
The title pretty much says it all - this Saturday, June 18th, is Free RPG Day, when RPG publishers offer great freebies to Friendly Local Game Stores, who in turn offer them to their customers free of charge.
Here are two things to remember when you head out to your FLGS for some gratis gaming goodies:
- Many stores have rules regarding how many free items you can take. This is to ensure that there is enough to go around for everyone. Please respect these rules, they are there to make Free RPG Day better for everyone.
- Someone (sorry, I don't remember who) suggested a $5 pledge - that is, if you go to a store to get some Free RPG Day swag, spend at least five dollars there, just to help out the good folks who bring you all of these wonderful games. Get some new dice or a dice bag, some minis, a magazine, or whatever catches your eye. If everyone who stopped in a store for some freebies spent five dollars while they were there, it would give our game stores a much-needed shot in the arm.
Speaking of special events designed to promote the RPG hobby - the next Read an RPG Book in Public Week is coming up in a little over a month! What better way to get some early practice than to read some of your shiny new free RPG books in public?
Two positive roleplaying articles: one for tabletop, one for LARP
Two positive stories on the hobby hit my inbox recently:
First, Roll Play: Knoxville's Adult Board Gamers examines a group of gamers at a popular game store in Knoxville, TN:
It provides practice in personal interactions. "It helps you learn to deal with people, being diplomatic, speaking in public." He adds, "Before Dungeons & Dragons, I would never have talked to a reporter. I'd be saying, 'Please don't talk to me!'"
Read the full article here: [ article | archive]
Next, nj.com published a positive story on live-action roleplayers, titled N.J. role-playing enthusiasts gather to act out games, stories [ article | archive] ... then, in a followup piece, gave LARPers the opportunity to respond to the myths and stereotypes that surround them:
It might be a bit weird - but at least these folks are out there enjoying the outdoors, using their imaginations, etc. Certainly no weirder than people who spend their weekends hitting balls into little cups with expensive sticks or casting hooks into water to catch fish you have no intention of eating![ article | archive]
nj.com also has a great photo album to go with the article - you can view it here.
Tools of the Mind
Ben at the Kids Dungeon Adventure blog made a post recently about Tools of the Mind, a teaching method that utilizes roleplaying and has been shown to reduce aggression, increase self-regulation, and promote vocabulary and spelling.
We knew all about this already, but it's always good to have experts on our side, isn't it? Read more here!
Wizards & Warriors needs you!
My friend Adam Rogers, who is the executive director of camps for Guard Up!, has a pressing dilemma. His fantasy LARP camp in Massachusetts, Wizards & Warriors, has a bunch of scholarships to give away - but time is running out before camp starts!
If you have some young adventurers in your tribe (boys and girls ages 10-15), and are near (or can get to) the Westford, MA area, apply for a scholarship today! For more info on the Wizards and Warriors camp, visit www.guardup.com, or call 781-270-4800
(For even more info, see my 2009 interview with Meghan Gardner from Wizards & Warriors right here.)
Vampires at UofD, LARPing in the sports section, The Blind GM, and more!
I've got a bunch of articles and items that deserve mention on the blog, but too little time to give each one it's own post. So here are some quick reviews:
'Vampire' clans battle in Purnell Hall - This one is over a month old, and slipped by me somehow, even though it's from my own home state of Delaware. College papers are usually good to the roleplaying hobby, giving an accurate portrayal of the game and players, and this article is no exception. Mention is made of how LARP can help build confidence and social skills in players who need help in one or both.
Live Action Role Play: no blood, all glory - Another college paper covers LARP, this time the Seattle University Spectator covering boffer-style LARPing - in the Sports section, no less!
The Blind GM - I discovered The Blind GM when he followed me on Twitter, and clicked over to his blog to check it out. In it, he discusses the challenges of being a blind roleplayer, including finding PDFs that are accessible to the visually impaired. It's still a new blog (only two posts so far), but I'm hoping it will stick around for a while and enlighten us all even further.
Homeschool RPG Club - Update (from the Kids-RPG discussion group). Bruce Anderson organized an RPG club for homeschooled kids, and ran Savage Worlds sessions for four different groups. This post is a summary of the groups and the sessions he ran for each, and it is overflowing with awesomeness.
Fantasy lives in real-world games - As I was typing all of this up, another great story hit my inbox, this one from the Columbian in Washington, about gamers meeting at the Washougal Community Library to play RPGs and other games.
Roleplaying games as writing inspiration
My friend Bob Mueller sent me a post from the Write Anything blog on the benefits that RPGs can provide to writers who are looking for inspiration.
It's actually the second in a trilogy of posts on using RPGs as inspiration for your writing. I'm not sure if they will bring much enlightenment to experienced gamers - we're already very aware of these benefits by now - but they're really geared for non-roleplayer writers who are looking for new paths to inspiration.
The first, I Am Dungeon Master, is all about the perils of world-building, and trusting your world to a group of potentially destructive characters. The second, Player of Games, discusses the great level of detail that roleplayers put into their characters, which effectively start out as a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper.
The third installment is still pending, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be about!
Yes, Girls Play D&D
Jeff Woodall pointed me in the direction of these two videos about a Dungeon Master named David and his all-female group of players. The original, "Yes, Girls Play D&D" was made for a school project, and was aimed at people who know very little about the hobby. The second, "Yes, Girls (Still) Play D&D," is sort of an update on the group, how they have developed as players, and how they are dealing with the challenge of balancing game time and real life.
It's always great to see any group of roleplayers having a good time at a session - but even better when it's a stereotype-buster, like this group is. (And I love the idea of a party of musicians named after classical composers, and will totally be stealing it for a future campaign.)
The sound on both of these videos is a bit low, so you may want to dig out your headphones. (Be forewarned that there is a little bit of salty language in both of these videos, so please watch with discretion around younger gamers.)
Remnants of Satanic Panic
Lately, I've been doing some research for the next Escapist video, "How Roleplaying Games Got a Bad Reputation," and going through some old anti-gaming books and videos. My oldest daughter Aylish caught me doing this, and told me how frustrated it made her to see people trying to feed others their own paranoid ignorance.
I gave her the good news - that for the most part, you don't see these sorts of things happening as often these days, and when someone does write a book or get on television trying to warn everyone away from the imagined evils of RPGs, they're usually dismissed as raving kooks.
Then, just yesterday, I received an email from an Escapist reader who sent me a link to a post on the roleplaying forum RPGnet, with a story that could have easily come from the mid eighties:
So my mom took away my D&D books today because of Heroes of Shadow.
It's just another reminder of why this site and the CAR-PGa are here. Sadly, this is one of those situations that is hard to reconcile. I used to get emails about it so frequently that I addressed it in the Basic Gaming FAQ, with the best advice I could possibly offer in cases like these. In a nutshell: respect the wishes of your parents, arm yourself with the facts, try to explain your case as rationally and calmly as possible, and accept their decision no matter what it is.
It feels sort of strange to still be handing out this advice, because it's so hard to imagine too many remnants of the Satanic Panic era still lingering around 30 years later. But that's not the only reason it feels strange. As I write this, I'm preparing a Vampire: The Masquerade session for Aylish and her friends Miranda and Jerry, and looking forward to spending some quality time with intelligent, creative kids, telling stories and exercising our imaginations.
It's strange to think of that as something that I should be so afraid of.
The RPG Fact Checker
One of the projects I have been working on for the site for a very long time is a short PDF document aimed at anyone who is writing on the subject of tabletop roleplaying games without much prior knowledge of what they are and how they are played - something I call "The RPG Fact Checker." I'm hoping that such a thing would be a handy tool for any writer who has an honest desire to accurately write about the hobby, with some basic facts, refutations of common misconceptions, and links to more information.
The reason it has taken so long to complete it is that I've spent so much time debating what should go into it, and how long it should be. At present, I have a pretty good amount of information compacted into three pages, and I'm fairly happy with the way it is organized.
But as always, I'm open to suggestions. Before I go public with it, I'd like some other people to have a look and tell me what they think. A link to the PDF is below. If you think I've missed something that really should be included, email me at Thanks!
The RPG Fact Checker (PDF)
Castles and Cauldrons
Hooper from the Quilt City O.G.R.E.S. left a message on The Escapist's Facebook page yesterday to let me know about an unusual occurrence. Someone on the Focus on the Family forums expressed a concern about their children getting involved in role-playing games, and another forum user replied with a link to the O.G.R.E.S.' RPG Myths page, a page made from various 'clippings' from The Escapist.
What makes this unusual is that Focus on the Family isn't what you would call a RPG-friendly organization. In fact, on August 4th and 11th, 1990, they aired a two-part episode of their radio drama series "Adventures in Odyssey" about the imagined dangers of RPGs.
I was reminded of this when Hooper left his message yesterday, and I did a search to see if I could find recordings of the episodes somewhere. As it turns out, FotF sells individual episodes on their website, and the Castles & Cauldrons episodes can be had for just a couple bucks each. I considered purchasing them to review them on the site, but I have a hard time giving even a few dollars to an organization like Focus on the Family.
The good news is that a pretty good synopsis of the episodes can be found on the site:
The Barclays have a visitor for the summer: Len, George's nephew. Jimmy is excited to have his cousin stay with them, especially when Len shows Jimmy a new game called Castles & Cauldrons-- it's even better than Zapazoids. Castles & Cauldrons (C & C) is a fantasy role-playing game. The players become medieval characters who use battle skills and other means to conquer their enemies. Len is "Luthor the Magician," and he names Jimmy "Jondel the Apprentice." Jimmy thinks the game is harmless-until Len takes it a step further, and imagination starts becoming reality. Plastic swords ring with the sound of steel; epic battles are fought against the forces of darkness and won. Jimmy is amazed by these things, but Len wants him to go further still, into incantations, spells, and conjuring-which sounds suspiciously like black magic. What's worse, Len swears Jimmy to silence. He's not to tell anybody about the game, especially his parents or Whit, because "they won't understand."
In another description of the episode, it is mentioned that a cat possessed by some sort of evil spirit is the one who ripped Donna's doll apart, Whit becomes filled with an inexplicable feeling of dread, and a roast in the oven begins to smoke - all clear signs that something sinister is afoot at Whit's End.
(You heard right - Whit's End. I would be remiss if I didn't point out the irony that this and every other episode of Adventures in Odyssey take place in a town seemingly named for the state of mind that most of its citizens must be in, due to the weekly barrage of evil that assaults them in every episode.)
The bad news is, according to the listings on the site, FotF is still airing these 20 year old episodes - the most recent airing happened on January 4th and 5th of this year. So even though someone lurking in the FotF forums seems to have a level head when it comes to RPGs, the organization itself is still promoting ideas like:
- RPGs make imagination become reality
- RPGs involve real magic that the players - not the characters - participate in
- RPGs involve "initiations"
- RPG players have to keep their games secret from parents and other authority figures
- gaming groups are "questionable" people
- playing an RPG can make all sorts of strange supernatural things happen around you
- it's perfectly okay to take someone else's belongings and destroy them if you suspect that those belongings might be evil
- people who play RPGs act strangely and need professional help
Discussion questions are included on the site for parents, educators, and anyone else who is using these episodes for lessons, but they don't seem to be intended for any sort of open and objective discussion - one of them is "Why is it a bad idea to play games like Castles & Cauldrons?"
Here's a discussion question I would like to suggest: Actors and actresses play roles all of the time, in movies, television, and even on the radio. If it is wrong to play a role in a fantasy RPG, why is it okay to play a role in a radio drama of a character that is playing a role in a fantasy RPG?
Texas school board claims D&D club promotes "death and violence"
The school board of Taylor High School in Taylor, Texas made a proposition to end the schools Dungeons & Dragons club because they feel it is unwholesome - but the club's sponsor, Mr. Gray, has risen to the game's defense by pointing out the game's benefits:
Let's be real. In the realm of sports and clubs that one could participate in, the Dungeons and Dragons club isn't exactly the "hippest" option. It's a fantasy game based on created characters and imaginary quests, and although apparently addicting, it's relatively harmless. However, late last week, the School Board made a proposition to end the D&D club based on the belief that it "promotes death and violence".
Thankfully, the issue is under review, and it looks like the situation is going to be handled in a mature and responsible manner - some members of the board are planning to sit in on a game before making their decisions.

D&D helped accused murderer curb his violent impulses... or did it?
As I've mentioned many times before, I use Google Alerts to pick up stories in the media about D&D and other roleplaying games. Last week, something strange happened with my alerts. On March 23rd, it sent me an alert about Christopher Gribble, a participant in a horrible home invasion/murder incident that happened in October of 2009. The article from the New Hampshire Union Leader seemed to suggest that Gribble's involvement in Dungeons & Dragons was one of the things that kept his homicidal impulses at bay:
This could have been a first. I mean, we've seen an impressive decline in articles that attempt to connect D&D with criminal behavior, but this could be one of the first times a news story has directly suggested that playing the game could have the opposite effect for someone with extreme violent impulses..
When I clicked the link, however, I discovered that the article didn't contain any of the text found in the alert. I did a search for the text on Google, and found a link to the same article:
I had no luck with the Google cache, either, and an email to the reporter has yet to be answered. I'm guessing that the article had a quick revision of some sort before I got to view it. This isn't anything new - the same thing happened at SFGate during the coverage of the Columbine massacre, and I'm sure that's not the only time an article has gotten a substantial revision.
If anyone happened to see a copy of the original article, or knows how I can see it for myself, please contact me. Thanks!

This Giant Tissue Paper Flowers Made Easy project from Savannah Starr is the perfect way to boost your mood. You'll find it impossible not to smile when you're making tissue flowers like these. Choose your colors and transform that tissue paper into blooming blossoms easily. Learning how to make tissue paper flowers has never been easier, thanks to these craft instructions. Use these giants among crafts as a party decorations or as a way to spruce up your home.
- 20" x 30" tissue paper (non bleeding tissue paper is the best - the cheaper tissue papers can quickly lose their colors when exposed to light) colors and patterns of your choice - you will need two sheets for each flower
- Smooth sided pencil (or pen)
- Scissors
- Chenille stems (one for each flower)
- Wire cutters
- Optional: Aleene's Tacky Dot Singles
Stack two pieces of tissue paper together and fold in half lengthwise.
Cut along folded edge.
Fold in half crosswise. Fold in half again and again until you have folded your tissue down to about 1" wide. If needed, use smooth edge of pencil to get crisp folds and be sure to try to keep your edges aligned.
Open tissue back up and accordion fold (using folds as guide lines) from one end to the other.
Fold in half and secure at center with chenille stem.
Cut ends to point.
To make a fluffy flower, very carefully start to peel back each layer of tissue, pulling it to the center (where the chenille stem is). If you accidentally tear the tissue, don't worry! Keep going.
Carefully fluff out all the tips of the flower petals.
If you want to attach your giant tissue flowers to the wall, cut chenille stem wire to approximately 2" and fold back.
Apply several Tacky Dots to back of flower and attach to wall.
- Or, leave the chenille stems in place and arrange your flowers in a vase.

Nathan Ketcham of Samba Grille in Houston posted a picture online of a list of food allergies that a female customer provided them before service.
Image Sources:
September 29, 2011
Is that like some kind of joke?? I think this is pure bullsh_t and you guys made this up so it would be posted. I mean come on, let's be honest who is going to do something as stupid as this. That would be pretty dumb, don't you think??
September 29, 2011
Hi Carol,
I can assure you that we did not make this up. I think, unfortunately, it is quite common for someone who has Celiac disease, and wants to enjoy a meal outside of their own home, to provide a restaurant with what they can/cannot eat.
Do we think it's a bit extreme to include a long list of what they cannot consume? Yes. Which is why we published the story.
September 29, 2011
Hi Carol,
As someone with Celiac disease (a severe allergy to wheat, barley, rye and oats), I take a list and explanation similar to the above picture with me to every restaurant. It does "suck to be her", but when you have life-threatening food allergies, you don't really have a choice.
The long list might seem ridiculous, but by explaining all of the possible sources of an allergy (in this case it seems to be gluten, corn and sulfites) but in doing so, you are guarding against an unknowing mistake in the kitchen. Yes, it's extreme, but so is the allergic reaction to peanuts, shellfish and any number of other foods.
September 29, 2011
This list looks a lot like what my four-year-old daughter is allergic to (gluten, egg, dairy, nuts, fish), and it's no joke, especially on the way to the emergency room with her in full-blown anaphylaxis. I certainly wouldn't want anyone to say to her, "it must suck to be you," because it doesn't. It certainly doesn't suck for the 8% of children in the U.S. with severe food allergies who are managing them with the help of caring, understanding adults. I don't think it's unreasonable for this woman to have a desire to eat in a restaurant, and for a restaurant to weigh whether they can reasonably accommodate her allergies--we've certainly been turned down and that's ok. Let's not denigrate food allergic people with thoughtless comments, they are just trying to keep from dying in a world that is most decidedly unsafe for them.

MSN Messenger in Linux with webcam support
Many Webcam owners use MSN Messenger by Microsoft for video messaging. Linux users can run Amsn to connect eye to eye.
You probably have a few friends who own webcams and use MSN Messenger. Keen supporters of Linux will definitely want to avoid opening an account with their friendly neighborhood empire – but if the worst comes to the worst, there may be no alternative. Microsoft's new policy of openness towards other operating systems is characterized by the fact that the MSN developers regularly introduce changes to the proprietary Messenger protocol, leaving Kopete and Gaim users standing out in the rain.

This G.Skill Sniper series RAM was chosen mainly because it was one of the cheapest ways out of DDR3-1600. While the performance is on par, the build quality feels low, and the heat spreaders feel somewhat flimsy (as compared to similarly priced RAM, ex. Ballistix Sport)
It's memory, fairly standard, fairly basic. Have had no issues.
Best rated supported RAM for my motherboard. No issues with it. Looks sexy too.

Different DDR3 DIMM sizes on the same MB?
Hi, I'm looking to update my os from XP SP3 to the new Windows7. Since the XP couldn't use more than 4 gigs of RAM, I didn't bother with more than 3 GB of DDR3 tri-channel dimms (3x1 GB) on my Core i7 build at the beginning of this year.
My rig: Core i7 920, Asus P6T Deluxe mobo, 3 x 1 GB Corsair DDR3 (TR3x3G1333C9) of RAM, 2 x 500 GB WD HDDs, Leadtek GTX280 etc.
My question for those in the know: I'm planning to add 3 new DIMM modules of 2GB each in DDR3 (1333 MHz). If I add those 3 x 2 gigs modules to the already existing ones of 3 x 1 gig, will the mobo & cpu support them without issues? I never used unbalanced DIMMs in my older rigs - just used the same DIMM size (in GB) in each memory slot.
It's just that I can get a better deal on the 3 x 2 GB tri-channel memory kit from Corsair than on the smaller memory kit of 3 x 1 GB... and I'd like to make good use of all of them - fora a total of 9 gigs.
Thanks for your input!
Re: Different DDR3 DIMM sizes on the same MB?
It is always better to stick with same brand and model for all your sticks, just to guarantee that the mixing is not an issue. A lot of people do get different makes to work together.

Bob Hall Pier parking lot erodes again
Costs could set back county parks projects
CORPUS CHRISTI - Cleanup crews worked Wednesday to clear parking lot erosion at a popular Padre Island fishing and surfing spot where similar damage was repaired earlier this year.
Tidal flooding from Tropical Storm Ida on Monday washed away part of Bob Hall Pier's asphalt parking lot, leaving behind a 2-foot layer of sand. Repairs will be needed for a 6-foot section of cracked asphalt stretching 200 yards nearest to the beach side of the parking lot.
Nueces County Parks Director Scott Cross said he does not know how much the repairs will cost but is certain the parking lot won't need to be replaced.
The lot could be repaired in a month, depending upon the costs, and will not close.
"The damage is minimal and doesn't justify going in and redoing the entire parking lot," he said.
This is the second time in 14 months Mother Nature has damaged the pier lot.
Hurricane Ike swept it away in September 2008 with a 4½-foot storm surge. Park officials kept the pier closed for repairs until mid-January when the parking lot was replaced for $389,000. The Federal Emergency Management Agency covered most of the costs.
The parking lot at Horace Caldwell Pier, 20 miles to the north, had no erosion from Ida. Horace Caldwell Pier also was damaged during Ike and was replaced for $111,000. That pier's parking lot is protected by coastal jetties and is on a slightly higher elevation than the Bob Hall Pier lot, which is near the high-tide water line, said Richard L. Watson, a consulting geologist in Port Aransas.
"I don't understand why they would put a paved parking lot down there. I'm surprised they allowed that to happen."
Erosion damage at Bob Hall Pier, he said, "will happen again."
Cross said the Texas General Land Office and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitted Bob Hall Pier beach parking.
"Anytime we put man-made structures in the way of Mother Nature, we try to do it with research-based technology," Cross said. "But when it comes to dealing with Mother Nature, most of the time you're going to lose."
Money for the repairs will come from the county parks department's operating budget. The cost could set back other projects the department had planned for this budget year, Cross said.
County Commissioner Chuck Cazalas, whose precinct includes both piers, said he has asked Cross to look into alternative forms of paving, less susceptible to ongoing erosion.
"Something other than asphalt," he said. "In the future, we're looking to lead the way in finding something a little more compatible."
Cross said he is looking into alternatives in the event the parking lot is destroyed again and needs replacement. But changing from asphalt, Cross said, could affect the pier's full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a rarity for beach access locations.
"That's why we keep paving it because it serves all segments of the population," the county parks director said.
Cleanup efforts from Monday's damage should be finished by the end of the weekend, Cross said. He asked the public to stay off the parking lot until debris is cleared.

26 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-34 within 50 miles
Enjoying Life
I'm a hard working, dependable, ambitious and driven man. Many call me an "old soul," which stems from the fact that I have always been motivated & career focused; not to mention that most of my clientele and business contacts are significantly older than I am. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to the community and love being physically active. After work, I'm frequently involved with a variety of non-profits and networking groups - as I enjoy learning, personal develop and community impact. On the weekend, you can find me during the day hiking at Runyon Canyon, working out at Equinox Gym and out and about with friends at night. I take good care of myself physically, and expect the woman I'm dating to do the same. Reading is another hobby of mine and I have recently begun studying to attain further advanced credentials in my field. Don't let my pictures fool you, I can also be occasionally seen with glasses on - be wary, my inner nerd will be coming out. Over these last several years, I have put my head down and focused almost exclusively on my career and the non-profits I am involved with. As I looked up, 2013 was upon me and it became clear that I needed to put more time and effort into dating, and finding that special someone. I am looking for motivated, enthusiastic and career focused woman that is comfortable in her own skin. Nothing is more attractive to me than a person who is confident and can make me laugh. I also enjoy being around someone that is exciting and can teach me new things - not to mention someone who appreciates food & is always eager to try something new.

The current pack had many issues that desperately needed addressing, they were hard to open, they were susceptible to tearing and damage, it was hard for customers to identify which brushes were for men and which brushes were for women, they were a nightmare to construct, in some cases the company logo was wrong, the list goes on…"

Don't start doodling my name on your binder
Hi, everyone! It's pretty tough to write about yourself, so I'll try to keep it short and sweet. But, if you want to know more you're going to have to put some elbow grease into it and ask. I'm not the kind of girl to say " if you can make me laugh, you can make me do anything," but it's a pretty good start. I'm not one to pass up a good joke. I moved here from New Jersey for school and was lucky enough to stay for work. I'm a pretty easy-going person, who values friends and family above all else. I'm always willing to try new things or visit somewhere I haven't been before. Traveling plays a big part of my life and I usually plan to get away at least once a year. I'm also a big fan of any food group that is Italian, Mexican, or dessert related. I'm definitely looking for someone with a good sense of humor and who doesn't take himself too seriously, but who also works hard and is independent. I would like someone who is always down to plan a new activity, as well as someone who doesn't mind staying in and relaxing with a good movie. If there's anything I missed, feel free to ask!

Our fine print, in plain view.
At Petplan, we strongly believe that nobody benefits by being surprised about what your pet insurance policy does and does not cover.
That's why we recommend all of our new policyholders to read through your policy terms and conditions during your 30-day money back guarantee period. In encouraging transparency, we have included sample policy terms and conditions for your review (click on an image below to download the PDF).
To help explain some areas of Petplan policies asked about most frequently, we'll break down some of our "fine print":
One of the most frequently asked questions by pet parents is about pre-existing conditions. Specifically: what are they and how are they determined?
At Petplan, we define a pre-existing condition as a medical condition which first occurred or showed clinical sign(s) or symptoms before the effective date of your policy or which occurred or showed clinical sign(s) or symptoms during the policy waiting period. Simply put, if your pet has or had any condition, whether diagnosed by your veterinarian or not, before enrolling in a Petplan pet insurance policy, it is considered pre-existing.

Food was really great, service was fine except the shocked and disparaging look they gave my friend when he asked for some milk to go with his English Breakfast tea (he doesn't drink coffee) and the fact they asked whether hot or cold! Yes, its a Spanish restaurant, but we're still in England so the waiting staff should understand basic tea etiquette!

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 12:38PM
The increase in WPP's share price over the past 12 months means Sorrell's stake in the owner of the JWT and MediaCom networks is now worth around £200m, bringing his total estimated worth to £210m, an increase of 20.7% year on year.
The former finance director of Saatchi & Saatchi built Wire and Plastic Products, the basket-making company, into the biggest advertising and marketing group in the world. WPP's share price was £10.45 today, up from £8.33 on 10 April 2012.
Meanwhile Sorrell's former employers, Maurice and Charles Saatchi, who founded M&C Saatchi, are the next richest ad people with an estimated combined fortune combined £135m, up 3.7% year on year.
The Saatchis were in the first Sunday Times Rich List in 1989, when they were ranked joint 178th out of 200 people with £35m. The List now includes the top 1,000 richest people in sectors including sport and music.
Suzi Watford, the marketing director of The Times and The Sunday Times, said: "The publication of The Sunday Times Rich List is always an anticipated event and it's appropriate that in its 25th year it is bigger and better than ever with added investment."
The Sunday Times has not yet revealed which media executives have made the list.

Sales of guns and ammo surge
Prospects of legislation lead to bare shelves and rationing
Posted: January 28, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
A surge in gun and ammunition sales in the wake of proposals for stricter gun laws have led many retailers across the nation and in central Arkansas to put limits on how much ammunition their customers can buy.

Full text not available from this repository.
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of inherited childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of undigested material within cells. To understand this dysfunction, we analysed trafficking of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), which delivers the digestive enzymes to lysosomes. A common form of NCL is caused by mutations in CLN3, a multipass transmembrane protein of unknown function. We report that ablation of CLN3 causes accumulation of CI-MPR in the trans Golgi network, reflecting a 50% reduction in exit. This CI-MPR trafficking defect is accompanied by a fall in maturation and cellular activity of lysosomal cathepsins. CLN3 is therefore essential for trafficking along the route needed for delivery of lysosomal enzymes, and its loss thereby contributes to and may explain the lysosomal dysfunction underlying Batten disease.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay and players Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne show off their acting skills at Lucas Oil stadium when filming a scene with "Parks and Recreation" cast members Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari and Jim O'Heir. The episode airs Thursday, January 17 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Irsay and Lowe have been long-time friends. Fans may remember last season when Lowe "broke" the news that Peyton Manning might be leaving the Colts.
This is the first movie or television show appearance for Luck and Wayne. Irsay is making his small screen debut after getting rave reviews for his role as himself in the 1996 Tom Cruise big screen hit, "Jerry Maguire."Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres, Hockey, NHL, Rochester Americans

Help, my 990R has become a 2 stroke!
View Single Post
No more Chilegringo.
Joined: Mar 2010
Location: Hebden Bridge - UK
Oddometer: 408
Stripped it tonight and sure enough the new air filter is black at the front and damp with oil, evidence of oil in the front throttle body and butterfly. Not sure it looks like a couple of litres have gone through there. Would it have gone through mostly as mist and then burnt?
Opened up the casing and the seal is shot. Replacing in the morning and will change out the front plug while we have it open
Did not smoke when we ran it without the airbox and breather hose on so I am keeping my fingers crossed we have the fix in hand.
Thanks for all your help guys

I'm not familiar enough with the 990, but on my 950 oil can go almost directly from the breather hose into the front carb inlet via gravity and crank case blowby air flow.. anything getting onto the filter is spray or what has run down the top and side of the box.
All blowby gases must go through small holes drilled radially in the left counterweight, which should have significant centrifugal effect. If that balance shaft seal is bad, however, you lose this system built into the breather to "sling" the oil out of the airflow.

Here is a little taste of what investors will experience at Cameron Dunlap's Vacant House & Foreclosure Summit:
Cameron has invited a local closing agent to join the seminar and discuss the marketplace. This will give investors an unfair advantage like nothing else. The principles taught by this closing agent will apply all across the country.
Clint, from Phoenix, AZ, attended Cameron Dunlap's Vacant House & Foreclosure Summit in Chicago last month and had this to say about his experience, "Hands down the best business experience ever. Cam and his team are amazing and I learned so much. The classroom style setting made it very comfortable and spacious; the training was top notch. I can't wait to take what I learned and apply it to my business. I have already made reservations to attend the next seminar. Not only did I get the training I needed, but I also received the motivation I was lacking before."
This is 3 solid days of no B.S. live training on what is working now in the real estate market. Seasoned real estate investor, Cameron Dunlap, and his team of experts will teach investors how to make money in real estate.
