What is RM Cash
Brian in OR
I wanted a pair of quality winter gloves that aren't too bulky for me to feel my controls, that didn't break the bank, and wouldn't fall apart after the first couple rides like my last ones did. I got these last fall, it's now late spring and they've done what I expected. They look nice, material and stitching are quite good, and they're even armored. Use of the controls was not as perfect as with my summer gloves, but I could still easily feel the tiny controls on my old '87 XL600 dual-sport, which is far better than most winter gloves. I have short fat fingers and though tight, generally wear a size med because I hate bunching at the tip of my fingers. They are true to size. I ordered both sizes L and M just in case, and ended up keeping the medium. While trying the size L, an old lady was coming at me in my lane and I couldn't even find the horn in time because the bunching in the finger tips. That day they were packed and shipped back. Please note that these gloves are a trade-off. Below about 45F can get uncomfortable for anything but short local rides. I added silk liners but all they did was make the gloves much easier to take on/off, which was worth it on it's own, but didn't really help with the cold. I pleasure ride in the pacific northwest (Portland, OR). Gloves do not leak. Rain showers are a part of life here, but I avoid heavy rain. I made several 4-6 hour rides while the roads were still iced over. Don't do this in these gloves unless you can take the pain. Many stops to warm hands over warm motor. For me tactile feedback wins over comfort at temps below 45F. If you are a daily commuter, you might want a different glove. Overall very satisfied with quality, features and price.Read All Reviews

A new cold calling record?
Our home telephone was connected at 1:30pm yesterday (just moved in, new number and the lot).
First cold call came at 4:30.
Shall I inform Guiness?
Not surprised
I've actually given up answering my phone when I see it's an 08xx number. I've been getting repeated cold calls from HSBC (account review.... so they call it) and AA recently. Along with overseas companies trying to sell compensation for mis-sold loan insurance. At least they don't call at night (yet).
Wait for it - they will.
thisistibi . At least they don't call at night (yet).
We received a fax at 3AM one morning - trying to sell us tickets to watch some band I've never heard of at the Millenium Dome.
I can also absolutely guarantee that my 'phone will ring at 5pm every day with some Indian trying to sell me insurance/ investments/ fix my computer/ etc etc.
New one today - market research
Automated call asking to do market research and offering to opt out by pressing 9.
Had automatically pressed it before thought I should have seen if it was a real person. Hope by pressing didn't start anything.
Was told last time I complained about them ringing as we are signed up to TPS that it doesn't include surveys
Does TPS actually do anything to reduce unwanted calls? Everything I have heard indicates that it does not.
TPS 1 thanks
Can't speak generally but we were getting hundreds of calls a month and when we signed up they virtually stopped. It is also good at shutting up any calls that are made - apart from the annoying man from India who is from Windows- ha ha
He rang 3 times in one afternoon -
call 1 - said was Jack - I said fed up telling you not to ring and hung up
call 2 - about half hour later said was Andrew - I said I am not that stupid - you rang me earlier with a different name so go away and hung up.
call 3 - 5 min later - to tell me he hadn't rung me earlier saying he was Andrew - I said so how do you know the name then? This time he hung up and touch wood hasn't rung for a couple of weeks now
I signed up to the TPS a few years ago and the level of cold calls dropped dramatically. By contrast I work for 3 hours each week at a Family History Centre based at my local church and can guarantee 1-2 cold calls per session.
At home, for the odd call, the best solution is my son when he is around. He has more free time and likes to string them along. He enjoys it and it wastes the time of the cold caller - a double win!
Never answer 1 thanks
I never answer the home telephone now. Wouldn't bother with it if it wasn't part of Broadband/sky package
TPS does work / Guinness / Duck drinking
And if you still get a call form someone just ask to speak to their supervisor and confirming that you are TPS registered. They soon get the message.
I only get calls from my bank trying to sell insurance, but it's easy to say no. Suspect wifey ticked something on a form.
What's the reason for calling Guinness? Are you ordering drink for a housewarming party? Can we all come? What do ducks drink anyway? All I can come up with is Egg Nog. Surely there's a better pun out there....anyone?
You just wanted to point out I spelled 'Guinness' wrong didn't you :p
I meant to let them know my new world record! And I drink water mixed with Absinthe, but that might just be me.
Constantly Confused
@CC Water with Absinthe!
That might explain the odd avatar!
Never meant to raise any doubts about your spelling abilities. (Honest ;-) )
What's this TPS?
Is it like Dettol, and makes nasty germs go away? Don't want no colds calling here, far too much work to do!
Cold calls
TPS is great, as is the CTPS for work. Drop that into conversation to the stray cold caller who slips through the net and they backtrack faster than you can say "Can I speak to the senior decision maker please?"
My favourite cold call technique was a retiring solicitor who, on recieving a cold call, would turn it into a sales call, "Ah, so what can I help you with, young man. Would you like a will?" etc. He wouldn't listen to a word they said, acted utterly oblivious and treated it as a new client enquiry. Loved it.

In order to calculate the bearing to an object, do the following;
Step 1
Point to the object you want to travel to. In this example, the tree is the object you are traveling to. Notice that the magnetic north arrow and the orienting arrow are not lined up.
Step 2
While looking at the object in the mirror, turn the bezel until the orienting arrow and the magnetic north needle are lined up and are on top of each other.
Step 3
Read the bearing to the object at the index line of the compass. The bearing to the object is 46 degrees. You can now walk to the tree on a bearing of 46 degrees.

Quote of the Month:
I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?
The Age of Reason: The Chocolate Enlightenment
18th Century – Part THREE
In the 18th Century, chocolate's popularity reached all across Europe and the Americas. It was a time of upheavals in society that influenced who got to enjoy chocolate and who didn't, and of advances in technology that made possible the first chocolate bars.
When Vienna First Waltzed with Chocolate
Chocolate was introduced to Austria when the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI relocated from Madrid to Vienna in 1711. Vienna became famous for its hot chocolate, so rich and thick that it needed to be served with glasses of chilled water to balance out the experience.
Chocolate and the Class Struggle
Even though hot chocolate was available to many, it still remained a drink primarily for the aristocracy—not a good thing during a time when revolutions were overthrowing kings and radicals preached democracy. One reason: it was expensive. In 18th century Venice, for instance, coffee was one- third the price of chocolate. Even in the New World, chocolate had become the rich colonist's potion, and no longer the drink of the native people. Many were too poor to afford it. Servants were given a scanty ration, and even less if the harvest was bad.
Chocolate also was considered to be the church hierarchy's drink of choice. During the conclave of 1760 (when it took six months to elect the next Pope) the cardinals enjoyed hot chocolate coffee, when they took a break.
Hot chocolate still required constant whipping to make it rich and foamy which was hot and hard work for maids to do many times a day for their rich employers. That maids couldn't afford the drink emphasized the class divisions.
Chocolate was what the nobleman had for his laid-back, relaxed breakfast while coffee was for the emerging middle-class businessmen who needed a quick start first thing.
Eat Dessert First: Italy's Chocolate Recipes
Cacao was not just for hot chocolate any more. Chocolate could be had in bars and pastilles, and was found in recipes for main dishes, desserts, ices and more. Italy paved the way for cooking with chocolate. An 18th century cookbook includes dishes such as fried liver that had first been dipped in chocolate; a polenta made with almonds, butter and chocolate breadcrumbs; and a chocolate "soup" composed of milk, sugar, chocolate, cinnamon and egg yolk, served warm and poured over toast.
All for Love: Chocolate as an Aphrodisiac
Chocolate long had a reputation as an aphrodisiac, starting with the Spanish conquistadors who assumed Montezuma consumed so much to better serve his harem. 18th century medical treatises listed "promotes venery" as one of chocolate's abilities, and chocolate was often included in recipes to cure impotence.
Casanova, the famous lover, considered it his "favorite breakfast dish." His memoirs reveal that he used chocolate as a bribe for the chaperones and guardians of the women he loved as much, if not more, than as a love potion.
Death by Chocolate
Poisoning used to be a popular method of doing away with your enemies. When chocolate was introduced to Europeans, one of the things they noticed was that it disguised the taste of poison. When Pope Clement XIV died in 1774 under mysterious circumstances, it was thought by many that he had been poisoned by a cup of chocolate brought to him by his unknowing credenziere (confectioner), who supposedly died the same day. The Pope had been terrified of assassination, especially after confronting the powerful Jesuits. An autopsy proved this was just a rumor. But like most rumors, it didn't die easily.
Chocolate's European Debut - Part TWO
16th — 17th Centuries
Columbus likely was the first European to discover cacao beans but it took some time before Europe discovered chocolate. Columbus saw how natives cherished the beans, but he thought they were a type of almond. Though he did bring them back to Spain with him, cacao and chocolate went unnoticed for some decades because the Spanish didn't know what to do with them—until Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs and Mexico.
Cortes Courts the Cacao Bean
Around 1519, Hernan Cortes arrived at the great court of the Aztec king, Montezuma. He and his crew witnessed Montezuma's 50-cup-a-day chocolate ritual, discovered the royal storehouses brimming with beans and observed the custom of using cacao as currency.
One of the conquistadors had this to say about the power of chocolate: "This drink is the healthiest thing, and the greatest sustenance of anything you could drink in the world because he who drinks a cup of this liquid, no matter how far he walks, can go a whole day without eating anything else."
Cortes himself didn't take to the bitter brew, but realized its value. He wrote to King Carlos I of Spain that chocolate was a "drink that builds up resistance and fights fatigue." Cortes later became a New World land owner, with plantations in Mexico, Haiti and Trinidad. Cacao was one of the crops he raised. Legend has it that it was Cortes who first cultivated cacao in West Africa on one of his many travels between Spain and the New World.
A Sweet Trend
After the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and began building settlements in the New World, they adapted many of the dining habits of the natives, including chocolate. Incoming colonists brought sugar and other European delicacies to South and Central America, and the Spanish settlers, after some experimentation, began drinking chocolate hot and sweet. The trend traveled across the Atlantic but it still took a while for chocolate to catch on in Spain. It wasn't until the end of the 16th century that it started to achieve popularity, and then only with the upper crust, mostly because of the expensive cacao bean tax. The Spanish had a lock on chocolate in Europe. They controlled the cacao growing regions, and they kept its existence a secret. But interaction between the royal courts would spread chocolate across Europe.
Royal Wedding: The 17th Century Court of France
It took a royal wedding to make chocolate a star. When the Spanish princess, Maria Theresa, came to the French court at Versailles to marry King Louis XIV in 1660, she brought her precious cacao beans with her, as well as her chocolate-loving ladies-in-waiting, and a crew of retainers just to make it. Hot chocolate was served at the wedding to the cream of European society. It eventually caught on at Versailles and Louis XIV came to love it. His personal recipe included an egg yolk to guarantee a rich thick concoction.
Medical Marvel
Much was made of the medicinal properties of chocolate by doctors and health experts on both sides of the Atlantic. It was thought of as a cure-all for everything from stomach upset to a fever and chills, and was described as an elixir of life. Chocolate was consumed for its health benefits instead of as a sweet treat. Some of chocolate's rave reviews from physicians and medical experts of the 17th Century are:
"Chocolate, well known, is an invention so noble, that it should be the nourishment of the gods, rather than nectar or ambrosia." - Joseph Bachot
"Good for the stomach if drunk in small quantities." - Valverde Turices
"Chocolate gives comfort." - Hurtado
"Chocolate is one of the most wholesome and precious drinks that have been discovered to this day." - Stubbe
"Chocolate nourishes and preserves health entire, yet causes a pleasant and natural sleep and rest." - Hughes
"Chocolate calms insomnia" - de Blégny
"Chocolate preserves health and prolongs the lives of old men." - de Quelus
Early European Preparation and Equipment
Chocolate was served hot in liquid form. The 17th century saw the European additions of milk, sugar, and eggs as well as spices and flavorings such as vanilla, anise, rosewater, ground nuts, and ambergris. Europeans added their own touches to the preparation of the rich brew:
The metate stone slab was often imported from Mexico and used to grind the roasted, shelled cacao beans.
The molinillo was a Spanish wooden whisk or beater, used to make chocolate frothy and create foam, and is still in use today in Mexico and South America. In France it was known as the moussoir.
The mancerina was a special saucer that secured the chocolate cup to prevent spills.
The chocolatiere was a French chocolate pot that made it easier to prepare and pour the concoction.
England's Triple Threat
Coffee, tea and chocolate all arrived in England at the same time: coffee from Africa, tea from Asia and chocolate from America (specifically Jamaica, which became an English colony in 1655, and was home to thriving cacao plantations). While chocolate was an aristocratic treat in France, democracy prevailed in England; if you could pay for it, you could indulge. Hot chocolate was served in "chocolate houses," not unlike coffee houses you see on every street corner today. Forerunners of English pubs, chocolate houses were places where politics were discussed and debated. While chocolate was more expensive than coffee, tea was the costliest of the three. And all three beverages were usually served up with loads of sugar.
Sinfully Delicious
As chocolate increased in popularity, it fell under religious scrutiny. For nearly two centuries, Catholic Ecclesiastics hotly debated whether chocolate was a food or a drink, and whether imbibing it during fasts was a sin.
Meanwhile, the strict and conservative Protestant Pilgrims who fled England for the Netherlands in 1690 took up residence next to a chocolate house in Amsterdam. The partying next door so offended their austere beliefs that they dubbed chocolate "Devil's Food." When they later immigrated to Plymouth in North America, they outlawed chocolate completely from their colony. Years later, dark chocolate cakes in Amsterdam were named "Devil's Food Cakes" in honor of the stern Pilgrims.
The Pre-Columbian Experience - Part One
The history of chocolate started in the hot, equatorial South and Central American and Amazon regions. It was considered a divine gift, a source of power, a form of currency, and a health food by the peoples of ancient Mesoamerica.
First Encounters
Monkeys were the first to find the cacao plant edible and delectable, not man. In the hottest parts of ancient Mesoamerica, these brightly colored, rugby ball-shaped pods hung off trees, begging to be picked. Monkeys learned of the sweet, refreshing pulp concealed within the thick pod. Ancient man followed their example, picking the fruit off trees as they walked past.
The sweet pulp of the cacao pod tasted like apricots or melons. But the beans—or seeds—in the core of the pulp were bitter and seemingly inedible. The monkeys would eat the pulp and spit out the beans. Ancient people followed the monkeys' example, and only ate the delicious pulp. This was probably what Mother Nature had in mind: the seeds were disseminated throughout Mesoamerica, making cacao trees plentiful in South and Central America and guaranteeing cacao's evolution.
From Fruit to Seed
It's not known when ancient civilizations figured out how to use the bean. It might have been by sheer accident, when a handful of these bitter beans fell into a fire and roasted, setting off an enticing chocolate-like aroma that made the natives think twice about discarding them. Or it might have been when the pulp of the fruit was fermented into a native concoction called cacao chica and the beans fermented too, sweetening their taste and making them more palatable. But the transition from bitter beans to food source likely occurred during the time of the Olmecs.
The Olmecs Had a Name for It
An ancient tribe called the Olmecs (1200 to 300 B.C.) from the tropical lowlands of South Central Mexico were the first to domesticate the plant and use the beans. They had a name for these bitter seeds that held secrets to health and power: kakawa, or cacao. According to recent archaeologists' findings, the beans were an integral part of this ancient civilization's diet and culture from as early as 600 B.C.
The Mayans: The First Real Chocolate-Lovers
The Mayans are considered the most culturally advanced among the Mesoamerican civilizations. During the Mayan Classic Age (300-900 A.D.), they had cities with majestic pyramid-temples and palaces, a calendar calculated to end in the 21st century, and a complex written language that filled thousands of books. They also were the first true chocolate aficionados, treasuring cacao as a restorative, mood-enhancing cure-all. It became an integral part of their society, used in ceremonies, given as gifts and incorporated into their mythologies.
Burial tombs have been found that contain offerings, including ancient potteries that bear witness to cacao's importance. The vases are covered with paintings showing Mayan gods fighting over beans and kings waiting to be served cacao creations.
Chocolate plays a part in Mayan religion. The Mayan's sacred book, Popul Vuh, contains their story of the creation, and instead of an apple tree, there's a cacao tree. In this myth, immortal ball-playing twins are beheaded by the gods of death. One has his head hung on a cacao tree. The magical head manages to mate with a woman who becomes the mother of twin gods. These two defeat the gods of death and then end up in the sky as the sun and the moon.
These first chocolate-lovers did not make chocolate bars as we know them today. Instead, the beans were ground into a coarse paste and mixed with spices, water and chilies to create a variety of hot and cold frothy, bitter drinks. Or the beans were mixed with corn and flavorings to make an assortment of porridge-like meals that varied in thickness from very thin and watery to thick and solid. These dishes were high in nutrients and very healthy. They also were inedible by our standards and a far cry from the chocolate we eat today.
Toltecs Take the Territory
By 900 A.D., a new group of peoples emerged to challenge the empire of the Mayans. The Toltecs captured the Yucatan Peninsula and then some. Much of the wrangling between these nations was over who controlled the cacao-rich lands, and who had cacao trading rights.
The Toltecs also saw cacao as a divine gift, believing the god Quetzalcoatl had given the bean to men and taught them how to cultivate it. Quetzalcoatl was banished by the other gods for offering this divinely delicious food to mortals, but he swore to return. This legend continued centuries later into the age of the Aztecs, and when Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, showed up in the 16th century, the great Aztec King Montezuma believed it was Quetzalcoatl returning.
The Aztecs: The Gold Standard
The Aztecs led an empire of almost 15 million people between the 14th and 16th centuries. Theirs was an aristocratic society, and chocolate was reserved for the rich and the nobles. In fact, the Aztecs prized the cacao bean so highly that it was their form of currency. The bean also was used as money in Central American markets long after the Aztecs were gone, as late as 1858.
Cacao Currency Fraud
Forgery has been a popular scam for centuries – early civilizations did it with fake cacao beans. A practice of passing bad cacao "coins" was in use in Pre-Columbian times. Forgers would take empty cacao shells, fill them with earth, reassemble them and palm them off as real.
The beans were the natives' "coins." A list of Aztec trading prices looked something like this:
1 small rabbit = 30 cacao beans
1 turkey egg = 3 cacao beans
1 large tomato = 1 cacao bean
The royal storehouses had "vaults" full of this currency. One estimate listed the yearly expenditure of dried beans at 11,680,000. Some of these beans went to pay the king's attendants. Others went into the king's chocolate drinks—and he drank a lot of chocolate. Montezuma was rumored to enjoy 50 cups a day.
The Aztecs consumed chocolate in liquid form, as did the Mayans. It was served cold and frothy. The foam was believed to hold chocolate's fundamental essence, and the ritual of creating the foam is seen in Aztec artwork. They'd pour the chocolate mixture vertically from one vessel to another, back and forth to make it froth. Today, many Mexican communities still value the foam so much they let their cacao beans calcify and turn white before grinding to ensure a heady mug of chocolate.
At this point, chocolate was still a bitter - tasting brew and contained a mish-mash of corn, flavorings and spices. But this would change after the Spanish arrived in the New World.

About ZNC
ZNC is an IRC proxy. This means it runs on our server pretending to be an IRC client, holding on to your nick at all times on whatever IRC servers you normally connect to. When you connect to ZNC via your ordinary IRC client, it relays all IRC traffic for the channels you're in to you, and relays your messages back to the IRC server.
The benefits of ZNC are chiefly:
- When you connect to ZNC, it will relay everything that happened while you were away
- You don't reconnect to the channel every time your network hiccups, or your laptop comes out of sleep mode. That's a nice courtesy to extend to folks you IRC with.
- You can connect to the same IRC nick using multiple computers (including your phone or tablet) at once. So you start a conversation on your laptop, leave home and continue it on your mobile without needing some secondary nick.
Getting started with ZNC
- spiffytech runs the LUG's ZNC server. To get an account, simply ask him.
- Once you have your ZNC account, set it up in the web admin:
- Visit https://short.csc.ncsu.edu:1337 and log in
- This uses a self-signed cert, so you can ignore the SSL warning
- Scroll to the bottom and change the "Buffer Size" to how many lines you want ZNC to save to replay to you when you connect to IRC
- Save as many as you think you'll need to catch up on conversation you missed, but if you set it too large, channels you idle in could dump many, many thousands of lines at you when you connect
- You may also configure which plugins are active in this area
- Scroll back up to the "Networks" section and click "Add"
- Configure your IRC nick, and the servers to connect to, in there
- Visit https://short.csc.ncsu.edu:1337 and log in
- Configure your IRC client to connect to ZNC:
- Set your IRC client to connect to short.csc.ncsu.edu port 1337
- Use the username and password provided by spiffytech
- Note that this is different from your IRC nick
- If your IRC client doesn't have a username field, set the password like "username/network:password", replacing "username", "network", and "password" with the appropriate values for your ZNC account
- Set your IRC client to use SSL. You may need to accept ZNC's self-signed certificate. If you're using Instantbird, you will have to install that certificate manually. ZNC only supports connecting to one IRC server per account. If you want to use ZNC with multiple servers, simply ask spiffytech for a new account.
- Configure fancy parts
- ZNC has advanced features that can be quite useful. For example, enable the stickychan module to stay connected to certain channels, even when you quit your IRC client
- ZNC will keep you connected when your IRC client drops off due to network problems etc., but by default will log you out of channels when you explicitly quit
- In your IRC client,
/msg *stickychan stick #ncsulug
- ZNC has advanced features that can be quite useful. For example, enable the stickychan module to stay connected to certain channels, even when you quit your IRC client

May 5, 2016
The Army Corps of Engineers is working on a $3 million dredging project along the Beaufort Inlet in Carteret County, and Tuesday we got an up close look at what they do.
The channel, which runs between Fort Macon and Shakleford Banks, used to be 47 feet deep. Some spots are now only 5 feet deep. The Army Corps of Engineers says that was caused by recent noreasters, and hurricanes Irene and Sandy. This is the main channel for commercial and military ships to get in and out of the Morehead City State Port.
For the past several weeks, and for the next few weeks the 300 foot dredge McFarland is sucking up the sand from the inlet, and dumping it further out at sea. The crew of 20 take shifts and operate 24 hours a day. The army corps of engineers says without this dredging project, the Morehead City port would have to be shut down.

JFK's Unfortunate Legacy: The Weaponized American Conspiracy Theory
Unlike a lot of post-modern Americans, I hold no great love for President John F. Kennedy. Unlike some of my Conservative compatriots; I don't consider the man Satan Incarnate either. My sum total opinion of JFK could be stated by "Bones" on an old episode of Star Trek. "He's Dead, Jim." And regardless of his political impact, that is a sad, sad thing. But what is more tragic is that he hasn't been allowed to lie in peace. His assassination was weaponized to maximize its political impact and by extension, it has given birth to the tradition of weaponized American conspiracy theories.
There are some who believe The Single Bullet Theory. Others believe in Camelot. A few believe in both or neither. Sadly, as long as it remains a useful political exercise, there are those who will push political conspiracy theories modeled on what was thrown to the paparazzi swine after the fateful day in Dallas, TX back in 1963. I find this to be a shame – both for The Kennedy Family and for American Democracy.Read More »

My collection addiction!
by Crockett
posted Aug 7 2013 3:41PM
I have recently started to collect the LJN's, and it all started back in 1991-1992. Here is a brief story on how I got involved into collecting them. I got into pro wrestling when I was in Kindergarten. My oldest brother (who did not live with us) left a PWI wrestling magazine at our house, I can clearly remember the magazine too. It was the Wrestlemania 6 recap. When I found this magazine, I assumed, "well if my brother likes wrestling, it must be cool. I guess I LOVE wrestling now." Going through the pages (not reading of course) looking at the pictures, I decided my favorite wrestlers was Hulk Hogan. From there, I was hooked. I watched wrestling any chance I could. I was a Hulkamaniac, and started buying Hasbro's any time my mom would take us out.
It was around 1993, when I re discovered this PWI
, and somehow, missed the ad in the back of the magazine for the LJN figures. After examining the ad carefully, I discovered there was a referee figure, and for some reason thought it was the greatest thing. I ran downstairs and asked my mom if we could get the referee figure. My mother must have been in a great mood that day, because she said, "sure, how about we pick out five?" Thrilled, my mom and I sat down and filled out the ad, selecting five figures, the referee my first choice.
I remember my mom showing me how to fill out a check, address the envelope, and how to put the stamp on the envelope, while explaining how the post office worked, and how this whole transaction was going to work. I listened and tried to register everything, mostly because I knew my mom was treating me for no reason. A few days go by, everyday asking if the figures arrived, when one sad day, my mom had to tell me the company was no longer shipping figures, and that the magazine ad was old. I was devastated. I may have only been in second grade, but I knew the figures in the stores were different, than the ones in PWI, I assumed they were no longer being made, and therefore I would never see that referee again.
Fast forward to current day, my buddies and I go to the flea market, where I come across a guy selling LJN's. I know you're thinking, "He finally got the ref!" No, but I did pick up half his lot for a fair price. When my buddies and I got back to the car, I took the figures out of the bag and stared at them. It was right there, I was taken back to the story I just told, and said to myself, "I'm going to get all those figures, and that damn referee, so I can make that disappointed, 2nd grader in me finally happy." And thus my journey has begun.
I'm proud to say, that today, I have renegotiated my contract at work, and have accepted a new three year deal, bigger pay, and a extension on my bonus. Excited that my dreams are becoming a reality, I decided I would celebrate, not with a drink, but by buying the blue shirt referee today. I went on ebay, found only one listing for the blue shirted referee, a buy it now deal for $35, free shipping with the figure in fantastic shape. I eagerly hit buy it now, and paid.
I'm very excited to finally hold this figure in my possession after 21 years of waiting!

Mortars can be applied directly or mixed with acrylic color for tinting, to create reliefs and coatings. They are best applied with a painting knife.
Black Mica Mortar — Made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and black micaceous iron oxide, this mortar achieves the effect of metallic material. It can be worked equally well with a knife or a brush.
Crystal Mortar — This is the thickest and heaviest mortar, made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and quartz crystals. It achieves the effects of transparent and granular materials that reflect light. When mixing with this mortar, it is preferable to use transparent colors. Mix it with Bindex to improve its attachment to the base. Dries to a gloss finish.
Sand Mortar — This mortar has a thick and granular consistency resulting from an acrylic and silica polymer base, achieving the effects of granular matter. When tinted with color, it gives a beautiful effect to broken tones. It can be mixed with Bindex. Dries to a semi-matte finish.

- Catalina: "It's too late! I don't love you no more! I love another, OK?"
- CJ: "What? Then what the fuck was this about?!"
- Catalina: "I cannot keep my passions holed up. They need a release. That was a good release, like hitting a man with a frying pan while he sleeps."
- — Catalina and Carl Johnson after she beats his car with a crowbar
Farewell, My Love... is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Varrios Los Aztecas leader Cesar Vialpando from The Panopticon in Red County, San Andreas.
Catalina arrives at the meet. She kisses her new lover, as Carl notices her. Catalina complains about what Carl is doing; racing instead of treating her well, after what she had done for him. Carl argues that it's Catalina's fault, saying it's 'just business'. However, Catalina actually meant that she had feelings for him. Carl contradicts that he raced for the both of them, trying to fix relations between the two. However, Catalina already has another lover, Claude. She then challenges Carl to a race, wanting to prove that Carl is jealous and a coward.
Carl and Catalina hop on their respective vehicles as the race starts. Carl speedily traverses to different areas of Red County until he reaches the finish line near the town of Montgomery first. As Catalina and Claude reach the finish line, she complains that Carl had an advantage. Anyhow, Carl asks what his reward is, thinking it would either be a pink slip or money. What she gives him, however, is a deed to a garage in San Fierro, infuriating Carl. They need Claude's vehicle, as they will go off to Liberty City, and after another light argument, Catalina and Claude eventually leave.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Win the race
- Though Cesar is the boss of the mission, he is never seen or heard at all in the mission.
- No matter what vehicle Carl brings to the mission, he will race in a ZR-350 modded with off-road tires, suiting the terrain of the track. Unfortunately the vehicle has very poor handling, and a tendency to spin out and flip over at the slightest provocation. This also means that whatever vehicle Carl brings is lost.
- The race path is essentially the same as in the mission Wu Zi Mu, only reversed.
- The post-mission phone call is a reference to the movie Pulp Fiction.
- The race path is also used in the race Badlands B.
- For those unable to complete the racing portion of the mission while being chased, it's possible to set up an ambush for the three other cars using satchel charges, destroying the vehicles and allowing you to finish the race at a snail's pace, if desired.
- The song at the end of the mission is called Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus. It can also be heard on Radio X .
- The name of this mission may be from the 1975 film Farewell, My Lovely.
- This is the first time in the 3D Universe in which the protagonists from two different GTA games meet (Claude and Carl Johnson).

With Juno Week flying towards us, Ive been thinking a lot about beer...and Canadian music, mainly what Ive liked. (Why think about stuff you dont?) The result a list of the 10 best Canadian songs ever. They are: 10) Subdivisions, Rush. Subdivisions, in the high school halls, in the shopping malls. Conform out be cast out. Brings me back to a time even more complicated than adulthood junior high! 9) No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature, The Guess Who. Lonely feeling, deep inside...Datn-doo-dow-dow-datn-doo-dow. I could listen to the piano bridge between No Sugar Tonight and New Mother Nature all day. 8) Crying Over You, Platinum Blonde...just joking 8) Constant Craving, k.d. lang. This song is moving, particularly the accordion and Langs haunting voice. 7). Powderfinger, Neil Young. Look out, Mama, theres a white boat comin up the river. They say great songs tell great stories and this one certainly does that. 6) Try, Blue Rodeo. An awesome ballad that takes me back to the old lobby parties at MUN residence, sitting on some steps at Doyle House, belting this out, inspired by $1.25 beer. 5) YYZ, Rush. Its an instrumental, but listen to it going to work and youll be humming it all day. 4) Informer, Snow. Just kidding... but dont forget to a licky boom-boom down. 4) If It Be Your Will, Leonard Cohen. This guy is worthy of his own top 10 list. 3) Blow at High Dough, Tragically Hip. They shot a movie once... The first time I heard this song, a guy name Clayton was singing it in the laundry room at Burtons Pond. Based on his rendition, I ran out and bought the CD. Have loved the song ever since. 2) Who By Fire, Leonard Cohen. Haunting. An almost religious experience to hear him sing it at Holy Heart two years ago. 1) Needle and The Damage Done, Neil Young. This is one of the greatest songs ever...The lyrics, the guitar riff, the story and Youngs voice. Has it all. I sing the song because I love the man, I know that some of you dont understand. Whaddya think? And what do you think are the 10 best Canadian songs ever?
I love you, baby, can I have some more'

I just wanted to let you know I picked up the Hoodies from the Post Office today (they arrived a few days ago, but I was on R&R). My staff LOVES them! We are the envy of supply and of most other departments on station. While they do not completely match what I was thinking I ordered, my crew feel they will do the job better than I had hoped for. Plus they look GREAT! Thank again for all your help and everyone else that made this order happen. If all goes well I will make another order around Oct of this year for next season."

The room of corpses in the Temple of Urgathoa is... disturbing.
So I already had a thread months ago for my Tomb of Horrors map, which was really my first foray into the do-it-yourself world of making better maps than the ones provided. It was kind of janky, low-quality, and overall I learned a lot, but had a lot to learn.
You guys may or may not know, I run a lot of modules and adventure paths, and I come across the same problem for most. Maps not suitable for use, gotta make my own. So that's what you'll see here; my ongoing project to make a homemade version of pretty much every map I will need for the various games I run. Some I use once and never again, but I like the process of making them and if nothing else, they come up on a future google search of someone like me looking for these maps to use in their games.
These first three I would consider "game ready" in the sense that they are done enough to be used, though I will probably do more work on them at some point.
-Thistletop Outside; Rise of the Runelords
-Thistletop First Level; Rise of the Runelords
-Thistletop Second Level; Rise of the Runelords
These are some maps from the second book of Curse of the Crimson Throne, both of which have other floors I'm still working on. I'll get around to making the maps from the first book at some point.
-Carowyn Manor First Floor; Curse of the Crimson Throne
-Temple of Urgathoa; Curse of the Crimson Throne (WIP)
Obviously I have more I'm messing around with right now, but as they're for games I'm not currently running, they're not high priority. This includes Carrion Crown maps, Jade Regent maps, Rappan Athuk maps, and some others. I apologize if some of them are not very good, I'm learning more and more about the process each attempt, and hopefully getting better each time, but that's debatable. And yes, I'm aware I use the same floor-tiles for everything. I'm trying to get away from that.
Anyway, thanks for checking my junk out, I'll be back in another month or so with more things finished.

These are very well laid out. I like the artwork very much.
Great maps - well done.
Excellent battlemaps, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys. I really appreciate that people like my work.
Here's some more I've been working on, or just got through using in my own games.
Curse of the Crimson Throne:
Carowyn Manor First Floor
Carowyn Manor Second Floor & Basement
Hospice of the Blessed Maiden
Hospice Catwalk overlay PNG
And onto some more work on the Jade Regent maps, where I'm practicing a lot more of using real photo textures, which is not as easy as it seems it should be.

These look like they would add a lot to the tactical quality of game play, as well as the fun. Have you learned a lot about the actual layout as it relates to game play by having your players go through these? Sometimes I wish I'd remembered to take notes about what I liked and didn't about the map design after an actual game session. Keep up the good work.
These are all my own per-pixel rebuilds of maps that come with published Pathfinder adventures, so I can't take any credit for designing the layouts. Paizo buys and publishes their maps at a very low resolution, meaning when scaled up to something useable, they pixelate and get ugly. So all I do is scale them up and then start laying down shapes and textures to make the map, which I try and fill, as closely as possible, with what the rooms are described to contain. I can't say whether or not the full-detail maps contribute to the enjoyment of the games from the part of the players, but I know they certainly assist me, and I know that when you have a map that's just walls and floor and nothing in it, the players are in a bit of a struggle to visualize things you describe to them and how they would impact movement/combat/investigation in that room. But when you have a visual representation, they can actually see what things are there and they have more engaged interaction and movement with respect to those objects. Plus it helps me remember to point out details.
Hello - I did an account recovery & password reset so I could log in and thank you for these. My game tomorrow will be far, far, far better for them

Seemed like there was something missing...or someone?
Lee DeWyz?..
What happened to the Season 9 winner's performance
and passing the title on to Scotty? Archie heard rumbles
that A.I didn't ask him to perform, but he thought
that couldn't be true, just not right! It was true.
Lee commented on his twitter page... Looks like
more A.I drama is brewing. With tongues flapping
about Scotty & Lauren's quick kiss on stage?? Did you see that?
Lauren's response: "I kissed him on the lips, yeah," she told "Entertainment Tonight," before teasing, "He might be my boyfriend, he might not be my boyfriend."
When Alaina spotted McCreery walking the press line, she yelled to him: "They asked me if we're dating. I told them to ask you
Congrats to Scotty. May he have GREAT SUCCESS and NOT
be snubbed from the Season 11 finale. (Lauren too)

Oh bring us a beefy potpie
Chicken potpie is a fine, comforting dinner for most of the winter. But at Christmas, you want comfort with a little more. You want a dinner that's as special as it is comforting.
So we used the model of a basic puff pastry-topped chicken potpie, but substituted tender sirloin tips for the poultry. Add a creamy beef gravy and you end up with a savory potpie that is the perfect casual, comforting, yet special way to cap a wonderful Christmas.
Christmas Beef Potpie
Makes 6 servings. Start to finish: 1 hour.
1 1/4 pounds yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 medium shallots, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 1/4 pounds sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup unsalted or low-sodium beef stock
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
HEAT the oven to 400°.
PLACE the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
MELT the butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
ADD the onion, shallots and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and celery and cook until beginning to brown and caramelize at the edges, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
SEASON the sirloin with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the stovetop over high heat. Add the oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, sear the meat on all sides until well browned, about 3 minutes. The meat does not need to be cooked through. Once seared, remove the meat from the pan.
LOWER the heat to medium and stir in the red wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
WHISK together in a small bowl the beef stock and flour. Add to the pan, whisking until thick, about 3 minutes.
STIR in the cream. Return the beef, vegetables and potatoes to the pan and stir to combine and coat everything with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
TRANSFER to a medium casserole dish or baking pan.
UNFOLD the puff pastry sheet and set it over the pan. Use a paring knife to cut slits to vent. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the inside is bubbling.

Bear Picture Frame Ornament (Red)
Personalized Christmas Ornament or Personalized Christmas Table Top Decoration or Personalized Picture Frame$14.95
A great way to display your favorite picture of a child no matter what his or her age, this personalized red picture frame ornament has both a ribbon to hang on the tree and an easel back to easily exhibit a child's photograph. It holds a picture that is 1 1/2" x 2" which is equivalent to a small school photo and is a wonderful way to share your child's photo with friends and family. Grandparents will love hanging one of each of these on the tree with each of the grandchildren's smiling face inside that creates a memory tree that they will cherish through the years. The little polar bear lounging on top of the frame has a smiling face that will delight both children and adults this holiday season. A fun way to display the sonogram or ultrasound of your baby if you want to be surprised with the baby's sex.

News, events, and happenings... for Tweens!
OK, imagine this puppet singing "Dancing with Myself" the Billy Idol song that Artie sings in season one of Glee.
You pick the puppet. And the song.
Then you make your puppet sing and dance and lipsync to the song of your choice.
So funny to watch. So fun to do.
Register... We'll have the puppets and the music.
All that's missing is you.
