Pastor Richards is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Pastor Richards was voiced by David Green, who passed away during Vice City's production. He was supposed to have a larger role and be seen more in the game than his brief appearance on Cortez's yacht.
Richards is a corrupt and wholly insane televangelist from Mars, Alabama, who's head of the Pastor Richards Salvation Statue Organization, which promises salvation (in the form of a radiation-proof giant living space/effigy of Richards) to all those who pay him very large donations (he later reveals that he was actually planning on using the money to build himself a palace mansion in Hawaii) when a guest on Pressing Issues (VCPR).
By the end of The segment, Pastor Richards snaps, and, disgusted by Barry Stark's nudism, pulls a gun on Stark and shoots him in the genitals, while Jan Brown passes out. Barry survives and "is in need of a proctologist". Pastor Richards also ends up claiming the station as his own for a short while. Pastor Richards was also once invited to a boat party by Juan Cortez, the only time he actually appears.

Casio Baby-G Watches
The Casio Baby-G collection was introduced in 1991. The popularity of Casio Baby -G watches increased rapidly throughout the 1990s. The Casio Baby -G collection is a smaller version of the G-shock line specifically designed for women. Casio has collaborated with many designers including Rebecca Minkoff, musicians and other pop culture luminaries to release hundreds of limited edition Baby-G's with custom designs. The tough design of Casio Baby-G watches continues to make it very popular. Casio Baby-G watches combine legendary toughness, 100m water-resistance and performance of the Casio G-Shock models. Casio Baby-G Watches are bundled with features and are ideal for active people who want to wear their timepiece wherever they go.
In 1974 when the Casio Computer Co. started to manufacture watches with their first model , the Casiotron they became the pioneer in the digital quartz watch movement. The Casio Casiotron timepiece not only told the time but also had an integrated calendar, a first of its kind now replicated on thousands of watches. The Casio Brand has been responsible for many advances in watches, including the very first watches in to incorporate radios, cameras, lights, and even infrared transmitters to control your TV. So it's no wonder that Casio is still one of the most popular brands of wristwatches. Casio watches are packed full of features, while still producing designs that are modern and retro to compliment a range of style.

GAINESVILLE, Ga -- About 80 people are being arrested by state wildlife officials in Georgia and North Carolina for poaching black bears. The arrests are part of a four year undercover investigation.
The investigation began in 2009 when the US Forest Service got word of some illegal bear hunting. "And as we got into it, it just kept getting bigger and bigger," said Colonel Eddie Henderson of the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division's Law Enforcement Section. "It sort of spider webbed out."
In the end 80 arrest warrants were obtained for some 980 violations.
Officer from Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began infiltrating poaching circles by monitoring advertisements for guide hunts. "They looked on social media, Facebook, Craigslist and found individuals that were offering for hire to take them hunting," Col. Henderson said.
It was the beginning of an investigation called "Operation Something Bruin".
Colonel Henderson said the poachers set bait traps to lure bears to a specific area. "Once you get the bears lured into a particular area then they would release their hounds and they'd tree the bear and shoot the bear," he said.
Henderson said hunters paid the poachers an average of $1,000 per bear. The hunters would use the bears hides, heads and paws for trophies.
Investigators uncovered a number of violations including bear baiting; illegal taking of bears, deer and other wildlife; illegal use of dogs; illegal operation of bear pens; and, guiding hunts on national forest lands without the required permits.
Henderson said some of the poachers were hunting from public roads, shooting from their vehicles. "You think about it someone's shooting a rifle or high powered rifle from a highway from a vehicle, that's a major public safety issue," he said.
Eight people were arrested in Georgia and are charged with 136 violations.
Henderson said fewer than 10 percent of all wildlife crimes are reported and encouraged the public to help protect the wildlife by calling Georgia's Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-241-4113 or by logging onto the Georgia Wildlife website.

It's always something of miracle when new parents are lucky enough to share (in hushed, grateful tones) that their baby is a "good sleeper." You know, they're those happy babies whose well-rested parents have hobbies and active social lives.
Can you imagine? (You're tired, so we'll answer for you: no.)
The key to joining the ranks of the refreshed, it seems, lies in a teddy bear. One with enough features to rival the latest turnout from Apple. Enter: The Original Slumber Bear. What separates this bear from the sleuth (which is apparently what you call a group of bears)? Read on to find out.
1. Invented by a doctor – so you know it's legit – this bear contains an actual intrauterine recording that helps recreate the experience of being in the womb and lulls baby to sleep within minutes. Consider fussy newborns fussy no more.
2. If baby cries or jostles the bear, sound and motion sensors reactivate the recording to renew that sense of calm. No midnight sprints to the crib, vocal warmups, or made-up lullaby lyrics necessary.
3. The audio box with that calming recording? It's removable. Hook and loop straps make it easy to attach to crib rails, strollers, car seats (if strapping baby in and driving around the block is a pre-nap ritual), and more.
4. Like other teddy bears, this one's made for nuzzling. The soft Silkie it comes wrapped in calls for a lot of cuddle time. But the Silkie also serves as a bonding tool – if Mom keeps the blanket close and transfers her scent to it, baby has another reason to never let go.

I confess: I have canceled plans because of acne—occasionally even because of one lone pimple (usually a vexing shade of eye-catching scarlet and raised enough to cast its own shadow, but still). And I am not alone in my overreaction. Something about acne manages to drive the sanest among us to extreme measures. Even with a universe of products available nowadays to address it, we still turn to a cocktail of homegrown remedies and self-surgery to try to eradicate it—such as the fashion editor friend of mine who uses Monistat cream (yes, the yeast-infection treatment) as a weekly face mask, or the street-style darling I know who admits she spot-treats with Pepto-Bismol. But why raid other drugstore aisles when there's a whole row specifically dedicated to acne?
Because we're desperate. "The conventional acne treatment for teenagers is to dry them out and get rid of the oil," says New York dermatologist Dennis Gross, MD. Although we have less sebum as we age, the oil we do have turns into a pore-clogging glue. "With adult acne, it's a problem with the oil chemistry. As hormones change, oil does too—becoming more viscous. And as it flows through the gland and out through the pore, it gets stuck." Sometimes, products designed to strip away oil just exacerbate acne by increasing inflammation. "Plus, when skin is dry, dead cells flake off, further blocking pores that already have a problem, leading to more acne."
Rather than blasting skin topically, many derms are tinkering with the hormonal precursors that lead to breakouts. During the teen acne years (between the ages of 12 and 18), the hormone Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) peaks; it "decreases as people reach their twenties and may account for the decline in acne in many people," says NYC dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla, MD. "But at the same time there are plenty of other hormonal irregularities that cause adult acne." For example, progesterone spikes each month when we ovulate. "Progesterone, more than estrogen, resembles testosterone, and that's the one that seems to be more villainous when it comes to stimulating and driving the sebaceous glands," says dermatologist David E. Bank, MD, of Mount Kisco, New York.
The hormonal cascade released when we're stressed is another acne agitator. "Your adrenal glands that sit right above your kidneys secrete cortisol and trigger your fight-or-flight response," says New Jersey–based Jeanine Downie, MD. "When you're stressed, your adrenal glands are secreting more cortisol, which can pack on pounds around the waist and lead to more significant amounts of hormonal acne." So stress leads to acne, which, in turn, leads to even more stress—it's a vicious cycle.
While facialists have bashed dairy for decades, clinical studies have only recently established a link between milk consumption and acne. "Milk contains testosterone precursors, which cause increased sebum production," says New York dermatologist Francesca Fusco, MD. "What's fascinating is that one study found that of all milk, skim milk has the strongest correlation with acne. We're not sure why, but some hypothesize that skim milk has less estrogen than whole milk."
And switching to organic milk won't remove your exposure: "All milk naturally contains androgens and IGF-1," Mariwalla says. "There's no such thing as hormone-free milk. Plus, milk contains sugar, a lactose, so it stimulates insulin."
Another recent study suggests that following a low glycemic index diet—that means one with less refined sugars, carbohydrates, and sugar-containing foods—may result in fewer acne outbreaks. "As the glycemic index goes up, it affects insulin production and all the hormones," Fusco says. "They are all in a delicate balance—your female hormones are in balance with your thyroid hormones, which are in balance with your insulin. When you have more in one area, it's like a domino effect on the others." Since the dietary acne provoker may vary for every person, New York dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, recommends keeping a food diary outlining what you eat in the days before a breakout to determine what your triggers are. "Then you start a very slow reentry, introducing one new item, like dairy, every six weeks to see what happens on the skin," says Marmur, who believes that it takes just 48 hours for what you eat to show up on your face. "So you can look back two days ago and figure out what you were eating," she says. "It may not be the same foods for you as it is for me. Personally, when I eat chocolate, I'll break out 48 hours later."
Historically, the premier hormonal mediator has always been the birth control pill, which works by replacing the hormones your ovaries are producing with synthetic varieties that won't stimulate those pesky sebaceous glands as much. But this doesn't have to be your first line of defense. Marmur points out that while the Pill may clear up acne, it can also provoke another unsightly reaction: melasma, a noticeable discoloration of the skin that she says is on par with acne in her practice as a top complexion complaint. If you do opt for the Pill, figure out an exit strategy first. "Birth control pills can be very effective. But eight or nine times out of ten, when you stop them you are right back where you started," says Bank, who's a big fan of the controversial Accutane, the prescription-only vitamin A–derived pill, because it continues to work after you stop using it. "Accutane is still, hands-down, our most effective, lasting antipimple medication," he says. "My Accutane-treated patients are among the happiest and most grateful patients." Although an Accutane prescription comes with significant FDA regulation (because of possible birth defects, patients have to agree to use two forms of birth control and undergo regular pregnancy tests during treatment and for one month after), most of the derms we interviewed believe it to be worth the trouble. Downie calls Accutane "the be-all end-all for really bad cystic acne," and Mariwalla says it is "phenomenal": "After you stop the medication, many people have a durable response for many, many years."
Gold-standard topical acne fighters such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid remain the solutions most frequently name-checked by our dermatologists; what's new are the streamlined formulas, delivery systems, and accompanying ingredients. "Old medications are being revived by novel combinations," says North Carolina dermatologist Zoe Draelos, MD. She cites prescriptions like Ziana, a blend of the antibiotic clindamycin and the retinoid tretinoin, and Epiduo, which contains another retinoid, adapalene, plus benzoyl peroxide.
"BenzEFoam short-contact cleanser is a great new vehicle for benzoyl peroxide," Bank says. "It's a mousse formulation that you leave on the skin for a couple of minutes and then wash off, so you don't have to keep it on all night, which can be drying." Though there has been some trepidation about benzoyl peroxide because of its ability to spike free radicals, no studies, according to Mariwalla, have shown that they are wrinkle-causing. "Actually, in the case of benzoyl peroxide, we have one of the few times when free radicals can help you," Mariwalla says. "In the skin, the peroxide part dissociates and kills the bacteria that's causing the acne, stopping the inflammatory process."
Although, as Marmur notes, it takes only two days for a pimple to crop up, you need to give any topical preventive measure 42 days to kick in. "The lifespan of a pimple is about six weeks, so that's the magic number for how long you should give a product before you give up," she says. "The biggest mistake people make, besides picking at a pimple, is giving up on products too early. It's like driving a car—you don't want to make any rapid changes."
As far as picking goes, it's hard to resist the lure of the magnifying mirror, that evil contraption that turns every pore into a crater. But while it may appear that your clogged pores number in the thousands, many of those little dots, particularly on the nose, are entirely normal hair follicles. Resist the urge to squeeze; leave extractions to the professionals. "If you have a well-trained medical aesthetician working under the auspice of a derm, they can use acne extractors or microneedles to actually get in there for the more difficult whiteheads," says Neil Sadick, MD, who shares his Park Avenue office space in New York with facialist Luzinete Ripardo, famed for her incredibly thorough ("almost OCD," says one fan) pore cleanses. (And for emergency spot reduction, the best cure is a shot of cortisone from the doc.)
But the most major advancement may come thanks to gene research, such as that done at P&G's Miami Valley laboratory in Ohio. A team of researchers led by Rosemarie Osborne, PhD, recently developed an innovative combination of a topical antimicrobial (sodium dehydroacetate) and vitamin B (niacinamide) that was shown, in double-blind independent clinical studies, to reduce sebum production significantly (both can be found in the new Olay Pro-X Clear line). What next? "The biggest genomics breakthrough relative to acne is understanding why some of us get acne and others don't," Osborne says. "This type of research will lead to more customized solutions for acne-prone skin in the near future." For longtime acne sufferers, that sounds akin to a quantum leap—one that just may help ensure that we never have to turn to toothpaste as a skin care treatment again.
Popular Off-Label Options
Advil: "An [oral] ibuprofen can help with red, inflamed pimples but not whiteheads or blackheads," Fusco says.
Aspirin: "It's a salicylate," Mariwalla says, "so you can make a little paste of it and apply to a pimple."
Benadryl: According to Fusco, "Benadryl can be beneficial for only one subset of acne: acne rosacea."
Hibiclens: This antibacterial all-purpose cleanser is "good for folliculitis—infection of the follicles that looks like acne," Mariwalla says. "But it's too drying for the face."
Monistat: "For people who have little tiny pimples that are often a form of yeast, not typical bacterial acne, Monistat is actually good," Marmur says. "No matter what, it won't hurt you—it will just function as a moisturizer."
Pepto-Bismol: "The main active ingredient in Pepto is bismuth subsalicylate," Mariwalla says. "While some people think that the benzoic acid, an inactive ingredient, will make red marks fade away, the results are iffy."
Top Blemish Blasters
An AHA-glycolic complex in La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum tightens pores; Sampar Pure Perfection Prodigal Pen rolls on eight pimple-fighting essential oils; Olay Pro-X Clear Sulfur Mask absorbs oil; banish blemishes around the clock with the a.m./p.m. formulas in Kate Somerville 24 Hour Pimple Punisher; blue LED therapy plus gentle vibration makes Tända Clear+ (an at-home light device) a non-irritating acne solution; (Malin + Goetz) Acne Treatment zaps zits with 10 percent sulfur; lycopene found in Yes to Tomatoes Acne Roller Ball Spot Stick controls oil production.

Today Kotaku (linked above) reports that Sony is rumored to debut the PlayStation 4 (PS4) next-generation console in 2013 which is currently assumed to be codenamed as Orbis.
While PS4.SCEDev.net does not currently work, the URL Orbis.SCEDev.net currently resolves to Sony's developer network Web site.
To quote: "While the official reveal of Sony's next home console could still be months away, if not longer, Kotaku has today learned some important details concerning the PlayStation 3's successor.
For one, the console's name- or at least its codename/working title- is apparently Orbis. And it's being planned for release in time for the 2013 holiday season.
The details in this story come from a reliable source who is not authorized to talk publicly about next-gen hardware but has shared correct information with us before. What they're telling us in specifics matches much of what we've heard and reported in generalities in recent weeks.
A Sony spokesperson declined to comment about these details, citing the company's policy not to comment on "rumors or speculation."
Orbis. Say it out loud. Sounds a little like the word "four", doesn't it? Only it doesn't make the next PlayStation sound like a bad horror movie sequel.
It's also a name loaded with meaning. The word "Orbis" itself, from Latin, means circle, or ring, or even orbit. Not terribly helpful. Combine it with the name of Sony's new handheld system, though, and you have the common term Orbis Vita (or, in strict Latin, Orbis Vitae). Which means "The circle of life". Could the Vita be playing a very important role in the development and use of the next PlayStation home console? Maybe!
Such symbolism also suggests that rather than being a codename, like most companies employ when still developing a console (think NGP, or Durango), this might actually be the machine's final name. We don't know that, though, so keep an open mind about things.
Our main source supplied some basic specs for the console, but as the future is always in motion, bear in mind these could easily change between now and the Orbis' retail release. Still, if you'd like to know what developers are being told to plan for now, here you go.
- AMD x64 CPU
- AMD Southern Islands GPU
The former, that's largely something we've heard before, but the latter is interesting. That's the name given to many of AMD's 2012 roster of high-end PC cards. The PS4's GPU in particular, we're told, will be capable of displaying Orbis games at a resolution of up to 4096x2160, which is far in excess of the needs of most current HDTV sets. It'll also be capable of playing 3D games in 1080p (the PS3 could only safely manage 3D at 720p).
Our main source tell us that "select developers" have been receiving dev kits for the new console since the beginning of this year. Revised and improved versions of these kits were sent out around GDC, while more finalised beta units will be shipped to developers towards the end of 2012.
That should hopefully give developers plenty of time to have launch games ready for the Orbis' retail release, which will be in time for the 2013 holiday season. If you can remember the PS3 launch- it's OK if you can't, it was a while ago- that too was in time for the holiday shopping season (November 2006 for Japan and North America).
Remember how the PlayStation 3 swiftly dropped the ability to play PS2 games? Well, our main source tell us the Orbis won't even bother, and that Sony has no plans to offer backwards compatibility for its existing catalogue of PS3 games.
Just like the next Xbox/Durango, we've heard from multiple sources that the Orbis will likewise have some kind of anti-used games measures built into the console. Here's how our main source says it's currently shaping up: new games for the system will be available one of two ways, either on a Blu-Ray disc or as a PSN download (yes, even full retail titles). If you buy the disc, it must be locked to a single PSN account, after which you can play the game, save the whole thing to your HDD, or peg it as "downloaded" in your account history and be free to download it at a later date.
Don't think you can simply buy the disc and stay offline, though; like many PC games these days, you'll need to have a PSN account and be online to even get the thing started.
If you then decide to trade that disc in, the pre-owned customer picking it up will be limited in what they can do. While our sources were unclear on how exactly the pre-owned customer side of things would work, it's believed used games will be limited to a trial mode or some other form of content restriction, with consumers having to pay a fee to unlock/register the full game.
This would allow used games to continue to be sold at outlets such as GameStop, while also appeasing major publishers who would no longer have to implement their own haphazard approaches to "online passes"."
Finally, as a follow-up from Kotaku to quote:
"The design firm Coque Design may have worked on illustrations for certain features of the next PlayStation, according to pictures a tipster spotted on its website today.
The pictures, which have since been removed from the site, were labeled "Illustrations & Sketches for new PlayStation Orbis features." Orbis is the codename for Sony's next gaming console, as Kotaku revealed today.
The photos depict several people moving around in front of some sort of Kinect-like motion-sensing device that rests on top of a television. (As a commenter points out, this device also resembles the PlayStation Eye accessory.) One person is using what appears to be an iPhone or iPod to control music that may be linked to the game system as well.
We've reached out to Coques Design and we will update should we hear any further information."

Namely, the trio of uberness, in order of greatest to least unprecedented:
1) Miffyre--long story short, she's completely unprecedented. 1 SP on auto with no floating requirement on a unit out of range of returns and 40 damage SSs (even + sala)? And on top of that, is a huge ally against EN? She basically puts Marduk and Urgrant to shame. Also, when you stop to think about it, perhaps the biggest gap between units in this game is between level 3s and level 4s. Level 3s can be rushed out multiple turns in a row and can go down to SSs. Once you start getting into the realm of level 4s, the game was not balanced around rushing them out every turn the way Miffles does. And when you consider that the level 4s she pumps out aren't just sum of their parts, but Refess units, who are notorious for getting exponentially stronger, you can see why she can become such an issue.
And that's just on the SP-genning end. As bonuses, she gives EN the proverbial finger (though I don't suppose that's a new development, Refess has always had Lawtia's number), and I'm not sure how much she affects the serpent matchup, though I don't have sympathy for Falkow in Refess matchups.
2) Phoenix chick--at first it looks innocuous, until you realize that this thing is a max-HP hate immune field-wiping AoE tank that if you can't do 120 damage to it in one turn, look out. The biggest issue about this card though is that for a run-of-the-mill level 5, it's a game changer against any strategy depending on concentrated sources of large damage (bigs, other mids). And if you want to really humiliate someone, spam holy shield on it.
3) Verlaat--it's not so much that he's unprecedented (Bringer), as the fact that A) he's almost as good standalone B) has a better action C) is in the sphere with the best and most SP-generating options and D) has the best combo buff in the game bar none (BKR doesn't come close to 9 ticks regularly). It's just that the reason people see him as somewhat fair is that when he comes down, is he your worry or the SP-generating miffles suddenly swinging at you for 40+, the Judie dishing out 70+ damage on her own (90 once you factor in her buff), or the 35+ damage guardian with 25 defense?
So, let's propose some nerfs:
Start->auto. At least gives you a chance to get your utility units back if you kill her before she can move.
Stats: put them into worse early-game baskets, take from better early game basket. 55 HP->35 HP. Agi 1->2. Range 2->3.
SP generation auto: requires 1 SP, generates 2, instead of 0->1. At least gives you a chance to disrupt her with things like shades, nightwings, gafc SSs, etc...
Basically, it'll force the mid refess player to actually tuck her away securely instead of just dropping her in behind the refugee citizens and then rushing out units that should not be rushed out.
Phoenix chick:
Close skill: lvl 6->lvl 7. Close skill conditional on max HP > 0 (I mean I understand why he gets his max HP reset, because he morphs from 30 to 90, but this is an oversight IMO). This should at least give an out for the few max HP-reducing techniques other spheres have (Nue, though not like EN needs the help, Cassie, Jack's trash action, Francis), as well as not make large single hits completely obsolete.
If that's not enough, make the action skill cost 2 SP as well. One-way 30 damage to your opponent's entire field for 1 SP? Um?
I'm not quite sure what to do about this guy. Possibly remove the 10 DF buff on open? Drop his atk by 10? Honestly he seems to be more a symptom of losing to mid refess than a cause.

Barbara Prosser Kerr, 86, passed away peacefully at home on April 2, 2012. Her obituary.
Recipient of Women in Solar Energy Award
The Women in Solar Energy Award was designed to recognize a woman who has contributed significantly to the acceptance and advancement of women in solar by any of the following means: advocacy, education, technical efforts, contracting or implementing social change. Barbara Prosser Kerr is recognized as one of the primary founders of the solar cooking movement. In the early 1970s she designed an early cardboard box cooker, an early solar wall oven and a solar panel cooker known as the Cookit. Solar cookers are in widespread use in Africa and elsewhere, especially in refugee camps, both to cook food and to pasteurize unsanitary water. These designs are currently used and promoted by Solar Cookers International, of which Kerr was a founding board member. She cofounded the Kerr-Cole Sustainable Living Center in Taylor, Ariz., at which numerous solar applications and sustainable practices can still be learned.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I think I'm turning Japanese... I really think so."
"Wapanese" (also known as "Weeaboos" and "Cosplaya-san") are decidedly white and (or) any other race; individuals who, by means of thoroughly warped postmodern acculturation processes, have come to the decision that it is in their best interest to act as if they were denizens of the nation of Japan. The term "Wapanese" can be accurately thought of as an analog to wigger. A whitey can be classified as a "Wapanese" if they are in possession of two or more of the following defining traits:
1 They worship at the feet of the goddess Ayumi Hamasaki and pray for her to deliver them to the promised land of the rising sun.
2 Has an unhealthy obsession with anime, particularly anime intended for a young audience (see Pokemon, Sailor Moon and Yu-Gi-Oh!). They also live under the belief that all Western animation is garbage and every piece of it, from Steamboat Willie to The Incredibles, was copied from some obscure anime only 3 (or possibly less) people saw.
3 Operates under the belief that every aspect of American culture is vastly inferior to that of Japan's — even though 99% of Wapanese have never had firsthand experience of any sort with their preferred culture (in other words, they've never set so much as one foot upon the island(s) of Japan).
4 Halfheartedly studies Japanese language and/or is a part-time practitioner of martial arts. For "practitioner," read "watcher of TV," as both are essentially the same to the Wapanese in this case.
5 Repeatedly tries to mix Japanese words in English speech or use "Engrish" to sound either cute or funny, but comes off as an annoying asshole praying to get his or her ass kicked.
6 Has a sword. Samurai, of course.
8. May be afflicted with a terminal case of yellow fever; however, they constantly fail in their quest for Japanese poontang.
9. Wears an anime costume (known as cosplay) on any time other than Halloween.
10. Has an undying hatred of all other Asian cultures, especially Chinese, Tibetans, Filipinos and Koreans.
12. Calls anyone that criticizes any aspect of Japan as "racist", even though everyone knows you can only be racist against black people.
Interestingly, Wapanese are generally thought of as "failures" and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists, such as myself, speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white geek to seek out Japan's culture as a surrogate; however, they'd be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat racist Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture.
If you suspect your friend of being Wapanese, don't panic. There are possible treatments for this problem:
1. Kill Them: A dead Wapanese is a good Wapanese. A lead pipe to the base of the skull is a sure fire way to get them down. Afterwards, a chainsaw can be used to deliver the much deserved mutilation. Mutilation is necessary for preventing them from becoming Wapanese zombies (or at least preventing said zombies from being able to move).
2. Blinding: Being highly superficial creatures, the Wapanese only value things on a face basis. If they can no longer see their beloved mangas or subtitled animes, they will be forced to listen to American entertainment. Disguise the effort by imitating the Three Stooges and jab out their peepers.
3. Introduction: Have the afflicted Wapanese meet someone from the culture so fully worshiped. Undoubtedly, they will make a total ass of themselves from their misinformed notions about Japan and will be shamed back in to "regular" behavior. Note: Start by finding a Japanese male. If you find a Japanese chick, you will want to keep her for yourself.
4. HIV: If the Wapanese is inflicted with the life-ending virus, they will be forced to re-evaluate their life. This will cause them to realize that anime is not everything. If at all possible, try not to be to the one that passes it on to them. Bribe a cheap hooker instead.
5. Assassination: The death of their idol, Ayumi Hamasaki, will shatter their tiny world. There is the dilemma with figuring out how to kill an immortal being, which may be more of a predicament than the initial issue of fixing your friend. You know what, screw it. Try something else.
6. Garlic: Reputed for its curative abilities of dreaded horrors, a clove should be forced down the afflicted's throat daily for five years, twice for a full moon. This technique is also handy if you suspect them of being a vampire or an emo (or an emo vampire if you're unlucky enough). A stake through the heart or pushing them into sunlight is also highly recommended, though it will only anger them or possibly get them to shut up.
7. Kill Them Again: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
8. Force Them to Emigrate to England: here people have been practicing making total assholes of themselves for thousands of years, so the Wapanese will blend right in.
Important message from England to America: "No.8 is an unworkable statement, Britain has too many Wapanese as it is and the last thing we need is more of them, thank you"
9. Poison: Give to the Wapanese rat poison mix it into wasabi sauce. He won't dare to recognize it has a bad taste, and thus he'll die successfully.

The Wizard and the Hopping Pot
this wiki
- "Well, I can tell you I- let's think. Wizards in the Hopping Pot, is kind of a- the moral really, it's to teach young wizards and witches that they should use their magic altruistically..."
- —J. K. Rowling[src]
The Wizard and the Hopping Pot is one of the stories in the wizarding fairy tales collection, The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
There are two versions of Beedle the Bard's story. One being the original, and the other being a revised tale told after persecution of wizards and witches by Muggles began in Europe during the 1400s. During this time of persecution, the Wizarding community started to destroy the original copies of this tale and created a new anti-Muggle story. This story is primarily the one told to children to this day, especially by anti-Muggle parents. The original, should they ever read it, comes as a great surprise.
Plot summary
This story is about the legacy of an old man who, in his generosity, used his pot to brew potions and antidotes for other people when they needed his help. On his death, he leaves all his belongings to his only son, who has none of the personal qualities his father had and is his inferior in magic. After his father's death, the son finds the pot and a single slipper inside it, together with a note from his father that reads, "In the fond hope, my son, that you will never need this".
Bitter for having nothing left but a pot, and being a Muggle hater, the son closes the door on every person who asks for his help. The first one seeking for his aid is an old woman whose granddaughter is plagued with warts. Closing the door on the old woman, the son hears a clacking in the kitchen and sees his pot has grown a foot and a case of warts. The next one to look for his aid is an old man, whose donkey is lost and cannot go without it to the market to fetch food for his starving family. The son closes the door on him too, and the pot starts making sounds like a donkey. A young woman comes sobbing to the door, hoping for a cure for her sick baby. Again, the son ignores her pleas and shuts the door on her. A few more similar incidents take place, until the son finally gives up and calls all the neighbours to offer them help. As the people's troubles fade away, the pot empties, until at last out pops the mysterious slipper — one that perfectly fits the foot of the now-quiet pot, and together the two walk off into the sunset.
Alternate Plot Summary
The following plot was used in subsequent editions of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, after Muggle persecution of wizards and witches began.
The Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from a mob of Muggles. It chases them away from his cottage, catches them, and swallows them whole. In the end, the wizard gains the promise of the remaining villagers that they will not disturb his efforts to practice magic. In return, the wizard commands the Pot to render up its victims. The Pot does so, and the Muggles are rendered up, though slightly mangled.

- Abstract
- Mechanical properties of photopolymerized photonic crystal (PhC) structures having woodpile and spiral three-dimensional architectures were examined using flat-punch indentation. The structures were found to exhibit a foamlike response with a bend-dominated elastic deformation regime observed at strain levels up to 10%. Numerical simulations of optical properties of these PhC structures demonstrate the possibility of achieving a substantial and reversible spectral tuning of the photonic stop gap wavelength by applying a mechanical load to the PhC.

I know the Lone Wolf guys very well (I grew up with one of them and introduced him to D&D... ) and I'm sure they'll put out a great product. Definitely worth looking into.
I would like to bring a little Kickstarter Project to the attention of all the gamemasters around here. Realm works is a nifty little tool to manage all campaign related stuff in one program, it can handle maps and reveal the partialy to the players, it´s even a great tool to create your own fantasy setting in a conveniet way.
All that is explained much better and in more detail on the kickstarter site. I´ve been in the initial closed Beta test group from the start and must say that it will be ( and is at the current state ) a great tool.
I´m in no way related to the creators other than mentioned above. This must sound as an advertisement and perhaps upon release the price will be a downer. I don´t know about that as nothing financial is out there. There will be a cloud service, cost unkown,too. If a post like this is unwanted let me know, I´m not sure it is
Just have a look and decide for yourself.
Realm Works - Streamlined RPG Campaign Tools by Lone Wolf Development — Kickstarter
I know the Lone Wolf guys very well (I grew up with one of them and introduced him to D&D... ) and I'm sure they'll put out a great product. Definitely worth looking into.
Small World out there
I'll second this. I've been in the closed beta for a couple of months now and have very much enjoyed using the product. I've used it to input and flesh out my own setting and have recently begun entering information for a couple of future games I will run with my group. I have not tried out the player-sharing side of the application, but the campaign management portion is already quite powerful. I personally can't wait to see how the final product shapes up! Good luck to the LWD guys. I'll probably kick them some cash even though I believe my beta participation has already earned me a copy.
NB I've used everything from paper notes in binders to Microsoft's OneNote to NBOS' The Keep to organize my campaigns. RW is, by far, the most advanced, custom-designed tool I've seen so far. And it keeps getting better!

How's the map integration?
I think it works well. If you have a location topic (or a special location-derived topic like a settlement or region) you can add a map item as a snippet and then you can go load up a map image. On the image you can add pins for points of interest and link those to existing topics. You can also (haven't tried it) control how much of this players see if you decide to share it...so you can show only explored areas.
It's very cool as implemented already and I expect it'll get better. One thing I'd like to see, in addition to pins, is "areal features"...so, you could outline something like a forest or region and have it link to a topic and still have additional pins for points of interest within that area. Just a need I've run across.
One more, general feature, that I'm happy about is the auto-linking. When you make an entry it scans the database for things you've already created and suggests linking them. If I've got a person topic called "Torstan" and a sub-item there that says you created "Beautiful Map #37" and then I create an entry for Cartographers Guild as another topic and put Torstan under members, it'll ask me if I want to link to the existing Torstan topic. Not only that, but I think you can highlight a term and then create a new topic based on that word. Seems to me these features, and some others, the perfect campaign *creation* tool...above and beyond its data entry and management features.
As I write this I hope I'm not violating my NDA. The program is a beta and all features are subject to change...but I believe this basic functionality is likely to stay.
Basicly you import a map as jpg. It is hidden in player view and you can reveal custom shapes to them. You can place pins on the map that can be linked to your content. Map zooming and panning is possible so even large maps with lots of details can be managed. I designed a region of my setting by taking a map, marked the points of interesst and fleshed out content, linked it together and went into further detail as I went along. It was fun doing it that way. Think of the Paizo Kingmaker map ( not the map, I don´t like that one ) but the marked plot hooks and landmarks.
@mearrin69 Any chance of getting your Lonewolf Forum name?
Here's a screenshot of part of my campaign setting entered into RW.
Edit: @Troedel: Same as here.
The initial price was alluded to, but do they actually have a price set yet or in mind? At work they are blocking shopping sites....

Blitzkrieg Strikes Again is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by his brother Lance Vance from his apartment in Ocean Beach, Vice City.
Victor Vance drops by his brother, Lance's apartment. While inside he finds Phil Cassidy wielding a gun. Victor surprised, opens the door and sees Umberto Robina, the leader of the Cubans, and Lance arrive. He is informed that the Mendez Cartel are going to hit the Vance Crime Family's business empires and so Lance has brought some of Victor's friends to help out. The gang goes outside while Phil, Umberto and two of his gang members drive away in a Gang Rancher. Lance takes out a M4 Carbine (which is an error as it is an M16A1) from his Infernus' trunk and gets in the car. In a time limit of 8 minutes, Victor and Lance get to the first business and successfully defend it from Mendez's goons. After defending the three businesses, Lance receives a message from Umberto and Phil telling him that they have successfully defended all of the businesses they went to.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- The Mendezes' goons are attacking three of your businesses. Take Lance to defend the first business.
- Help Lance and your gang defend your business against the attacking goons.
- Take Lance to defend the next business.
- Help Lance and your gang defend your business against the attacking goons.
- Take Lance to defend the next business.
- Help Lance and your gang defend your business against the attacking goons.
Post mission pager message
Reni Wassulmaier: Darling! I need you Vic. I need you now, more than ever. Come to me, my Nubian Adonis...
- When Lance calls himself the "Lance-erator", it is a possible reference to the 1984 movie The Terminator, which happened to be released in 1984 (which is also the setting for Vice City Stories).
- The word "Blitzkrieg" translated from German means "flash war" or "lightning war". It is a German tactical and operational methodology in the first half of the Second World War that was often hailed as a new method of warfare.
- If you activate the "Destroy All Cars" cheat after the cutscene before everyone gets in the car, the screen will black out and you will spawn in the spot where the pink halo to start this mission. You will see bodies in Lance's garage (including Vic's). No matter how long you go the bodies will stay in the garage and the mission stop from progressing, the only way to get out of this is to fail the mission.
- Phil Wields a chromed Uzi and a chromed Equalizer.
Upon completing this mission, the player is awarded $700 and unlock the missions Lost and Found (which continues Lance's plan), Domo Arigato Domestoboto and So Long Schlong.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (WUSA) - Long lines led to short tempers in parts of Virginia on Tuesday.
At one polling place, voters waited in line as long as FIVE hours.
One day later, some old campaign signs remain, but the anger has subsided. In fact, those who waited in line earned the admiration of some neighbors to the north.
"I would never do that. You should vote but that's a lot of time to take out of your day. Those people are dedicated and I appreciate them voting but I never would have done that. No," said Michele Morley, a Fairfax County Voter.
"It's pretty remarkable. I have a six-year-old daughter and she had an opportunity to experience that important privilege that we have," said George Benson Cooke, a Woodbridge voter.
Not everyone had an unpleasant experience in Prince William County.
"We got there about 6:30. We were in line for about an hour and a half in the cold, but good conversation, plenty of laughter and then she had the chance to go into the voting booth," said Cooke.
The Prince William County Board of Elections will take a look at what happened this election and consider some solutions for next time. One idea: buying more voting machines.

Hi, maybe showing some of your sketches would help anyone to see what you are looking for.
I am in need for a theatre for an adventure I will be running this fall.
I have the adventure and some scanned pen and ink drawings that I would like someone to turn into better maps that I can use in my VTT.
The time frame is far enough out there should not be a problem for anyone.
Type & Number of maps:
The theater concept is complete so tracing the layout and adding appropriate fill and textures is really all that is required.
There are six drawings total although half are for open area seating or the stage area.
300 dpi minimum. Jpg, tiff, or png files
Full color
Remains with cartographer I will only be using this for my personal game. I encourage posting a work in progress thread so that the Guild can see the work under way.
I would like to have this wrapped up sometime in August if possible but I am flexible on that time frame as this adventure will be run sometime in the fall or later.
I would like to budget $25 US for this project

Hi, maybe showing some of your sketches would help anyone to see what you are looking for.
Thanks for the comment Max.
I have the scans of an old PDF to use as a reference for the artist.
I hestitate to post them here because I want someone to be inspired more on doing textures of wood, chairs/benches scafolding of the inside of a theater rather than having to come up with floorplans.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
I know I can't commit to this right now, but the idea of creating the materials for a theatre is really appealing. A little more detail might help people decide if it's something they want to try out. I'm thinking specifically of a list of objects you'd be looking for, as well as brief descriptions of the spaces to be mapped and the textures needed for them. Also the size would be useful to know. You mentioned six drawings, so would that be six battlemaps, or one large battlemap? What is the final pixel size you'd be after? In short, how much space will the mapper need to fill?
Also, just to be clear, is this a theatre in a fantasy setting? Are you thinking the original Globe theatre in terms of time period, something more ancient, or more modern?
I hope my questions don't sound picky, I really like the sound of this and will keep watching this thread in case I find some time.
Last edited by Meshon; 05-01-2013 at 03:18 PM. Reason: Added a question
Great questions!
Yes it is a fantasy setting sort of Globe theater type of building.
It would be six separate but simple drawings. Right now the maps show the outline of walls, seating areas, etc.
Each of the six maps would show a different section of the theater. The overall size is roughly 150 foot by 300 foot.
They are all interiors of a wooden building with various types of seating or simply open stage area. I am looking for the contrasts and various textures that will make it more interesting than if I just draw a large brown square and call it a stage.
No extra furnishing are required because I want to be able to move the set pieces around on stage, drop sandbags on players (er their characters ) pull curtains closed etc.
I have a fully fleshed out adventure that just needs a bit of eye candy on the screen for the players to get into the mood.
keep firing away on questions
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
What map's size are you looking for?
Hi there anstett - I think I will be able to assist you in this map if you want. You can see examples of my other maps in the links in my signature. If several people are interested, perhaps we can all collaborate together to make the various theatre elements and you could pay your proposed fee directly to the Guild as a donation? Just a suggestion - I think it could be fun.
Last edited by Meshon; 05-01-2013 at 04:34 PM. Reason: deleted the double salutation (facepalm)
Pauses dramatically.
I get to have Jacktannery AND Meshon both work on a project for me along with the full talent of the Guild?
I would donate to the guild anyway so that would be great!
As I said earlier the time frame on this is very open for me and I do agree that having a building such as this would be a nice addition to any game.
And those who want to make or find the finishing touches like props etc can feel free to contribute as well that way.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
That sounds like a really cool project!

The judge in the Colorado theater shooting case is requiring a reporter to testify about who gave her information that the suspect's attorneys say was subject to a gag order.
A July 25 article by Jana Winter on FoxNews.com cited unnamed sources in describing contents of a notebook James Holmes sent to his psychiatrist. Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 others in the July 20 attack in Aurora.
Holmes' attorneys say the information has jeopardized Holmes' right to a fair trial, and Winter's notes are needed to determine who leaked it.
Judge William Sylvester said Friday he is requiring Winter to testify in the case, and Holmes' attorneys will pay for her travel from New York.

Comments On Oct 06, 2014:I will be installing it tomorrow and cant wait, I feel that the stock tip is just too short, so its a no brainer that I would get this tip, and the Black color looks pretty trick too. I like the fact that after you grind off the stock tips rivet the new tip is attached with a hex head bolt which I will use a good dab of blue Loctite on. I think this is a better attachment method than the rivet since I wont have to grind a rivet off every time I might want to lake the tip off.

Spike in Orange Juice Prices? It's Pulp Fiction
Orange juice drinkers can relax. Fears of a spike in the price of the breakfast favorite appear overblown. The specter was raised of a January OJ shortage in the U.S., which could have translated into sharply higher prices on store shelves. But there should be plenty of oranges, and juice, to go around.

Residential property valuations for confiscation
I have written a new article on my blog dealing with Residential property valuations for confiscation.
The article is quite long and probably not of interest to most members of this discussion group, so I won't reproduce it here. My conclusion was:
So there is something to be said for getting the most appropriate value recognised by the court at the time the confiscation order is made by appointing a properly qualified and experienced valuer to provide a 'Red Book market value' taking into account costs of sale, and supported perhaps by an alternative 'quick sale' valuation. I would suggest that the amounts due to secured lenders (the current redemption figure, including any early repayment or arrears penalties) should also be checked shortly before the confiscation hearing.
The article, by the way, does not go on to consider the realisation (i.e. sale) of residential property, such as the family home, following the making of a confiscation order. That is a big issue which can involve issues of matrimonial law, trust law, property law and human rights (particularly under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights).
David ...
... out of interest, would it be better to own the matrimonial home as joint tenants, or tenants in common? (from the perspective of the innocent spouse!)
As a complete bumpkin on this type of law the logic would be it would be a lot harder to realise property held under a joint tenancy?
I wouldn' t want to advise!
I wouldn't want to advise on that lest my PI insurers start getting twitchy!
The greatest difficulties have arisen where the property is held in the sole name of the defendant but his spouse or domestic partner (or ex) claims an interest either on the basis of a financial contribution or a non-financial contribution to the household (e.g. role in bringing up the defendant's children).
If the innocent spouse is 'on the deeds' and is claiming an equal share on that basis then the case of Gibson v Revenue & Customs Prosecutions Office [2008] EWCA Civ 645 will be very relevant (Mrs Gibson succeeded in her claim to her 50% share notwithstanding more than a hint that she may have known her husband was engaged in crime).
There was a case in which a defendant owned one quarter of a property with his relatives owning the other 75%. The relatives said they would not sell and so the defendant argued his 25% had no value. The Court of Appeal rubbished that contention pointing out that confiscation required the valuation of his holding - not the realisation of it. They also said he could apply to the courts to force a sale under property / trust law even against the wishes of the holders of the other 75%. So the value of the defendant's share in the property was one-quarter of the value of the property.
Fair comment ...
... just wondering!

We all want to look like Lisbeth Salander but are:
A) Squeamish about tattoos
B) Squeamish about piercings
C) Squeamish about dying their eyebrows
This got us thinking about other characters we'd like H&M to design a line around based on movies we loved from 2011.
Sorry, Jill from Adam Sandler's masterpiece Jack and Jill, you didn't make the cut this time.
