The Buzz, 4-20: Acting
Intermittents Overplay their Hand
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2004 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- When it comes
to strike actions in this strike-happy country, the Intermittents
du Spectacle, or freelance performing artists and technicians, find
their liability (or Achilles heel) in their strength. Performance
professionals are not shy when it comes to public protests, be they
colorful street demonstrations or interrupting shows or broadcasts
to make their point. But this same lack of inhibition can prompt
them to overdo it and give in to their inclination for drama at
the expense of effectiveness. This is what happened last night at
the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, when a surprise strike by technicians
failed to stop the annual Molieres (the French equivalent of the
Tonys), merely short-circuiting the ceremonies and possibly the
Intermittents movement along with it.
As noted in today's
editions of Le Monde, with Agence France Presse reports,
the trouble started at about 8 p.m. last night, when thirty representatives
from the Intermittents 'Coordination" group and their main union,
the CGT, invaded the theater and urged the technicians working the
show to strike. Despite the personal intervention of new culture
minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres -- a hand's-on approach rarely
evidenced by his unpopular predecessor -- the technicians voted
12 to 7 for the surprise strike, with 2 abstentions. (At about the
same time, a separate group of Intermittents cornered the minister
and chanted, "Abrogation, seule solution!," calling for their new
unemployment insurance regime, which sharply reduces benefits and
makes it harder to qualify for them, to be thrown out.) When the
curtain was raised after this 45-minute delay and the strike decision
announced, according to Le Monde and the AFP, an "indescribable
cacophony erupted," with one actor, Philippe Khorsand, mounting
the stage and excoriating the Intermittents, "You do do not understand
anything, you are nuls. What you've done tonight is a scandal."
But the real surprise,
Le Monde reports, came when the 1,900 guests refused to leave the
theater, insisting that the show continue, even as the sound was
cut when the technicians stopped working. (But then, ever since
their boisterous response to the 1913 premiere of Stravinsky/Nijinsky's
original "Rite of Spring," this theater's audience has not been
known for taking perceived provocation lying down.)
All this came on a day
when Donnedieu de Vabres had agreed that while changes in the Intermittents
regime were necessary, there were problems with the new protocol,
and after he had met with representatives of the cultural community
in an attempt to begin to resolve the impasse, ahead of this spring
and summer's festivals.
Most of last summer's
festivals were cancelled,
either because of strikes or strike threats, and by festival directors
who were mostly sympathetic. But in considering whether the Intermittents
and their union can force a second dark summer to press their case,
the uknown has been whether they audience -- the artsgoing French
public -- would put up with it. If the intransigent and even insulting
attitude of the previous culture minister, Jean-Jacques Aillagon
made the public incline towards the artists, the newly cooperative
government stance does not present such a contrast. By giving into
histrionics just when the government was extending a conciliatory
hand, the Intermittents' stagestruck representatives have only jeapordized
their trump card -- the threat of festival cancellation -- and given
the other side a new one: An audience that, apparently, has decided
it's mad as hell and isn't going to take it anymore

Extended mass layoff events in 2004
February 17, 2005
For all of 2004, employers reported 4,879 extended mass layoff actions, down from 6,181 events in 2003.
Manufacturing accounted for the largest share of extended layoff events in 2004—29 percent. However, this was the smallest share on record for this industry group. Since reaching a peak in 2001, the number of manufacturing events has declined by 56 percent.
In 2004, seasonal work continued to be the most frequently cited reason for layoff, accounting for 33 percent of all layoff events. The seasonal layoffs in 2004 occurred primarily in establishments engaged in food manufacturing, heavy and civil engineering construction, and in transit and ground passenger transportation.
Permanent closures were 15 percent of extended mass layoff events in 2004. As was the case among all events, permanent closures were most numerous in manufacturing.
These data come from the BLS Mass Layoff Statistics program. To learn more, see "Extended Mass Layoffs in the Fourth Quarter of 2004 and Annual Averages for 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-264. Extended layoff events consist of fifty or more initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits from an establishment during a 5-week period, with at least 50 workers separated for more than 30 days. Data for 2004 are preliminary.

Ken Chlouber Sells Leadville 100
Submitted by David on
This was announced last Thursday. It will be interesting to see if the lottery changes to get into the race. From Mountainbike.com.
Owners Sell Leadville 100
Leadville 100 race director and founder Ken Chlouber has sold the race to a fitness company.
Less than two weeks before the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race, it was announced that all the Leadville races have been sold and are being run by Life Time Fitness, a company based in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The announcement came out Thursday. Life Time Fitness, which operates fitness, family recreation and spa centers across the U.S., had been the title sponsor of the race in 2008 and 2009.
In its new role, the company will also direct all of the other running and mountain biking Leadville races, including the Leadville Trail 100, the Leadville Silver Rush 50-Mile Mountain Bike Race and the 12/24 Hours of Leadville Mountain Bike Race. Race founder Ken Chlouber has directed the Colorado mountain bike race since founding it in 1994, which was was an addition to the ultramarathon running race, the Leadville Trail 100.
"I am very pleased that Life Time Fitness will continue the long tradition of endurance events and sportsmanship that the Leadville Trail 100 Race Series established back in 1983," Chlouber said in a press release. "We are excited that Life Time will bring added resources and expertise to take yet another giant step forward in the notoriety and exposure of these events in support of the local community."
In recent years, the race has received increasing media coverage and attention. The race was helped by the presence of Lance Armstrong, who raced in 2008 and won in 2009, beating six-time Leadville winner Dave Wiens. Watch Race Across the Sky, which documents last year's race:
ecause of this popularity, slots for the races have had to be assigned by lottery. This lottery system and the sometimes tough rules that come with it have sometimes caused problems. Earlier this year, mountain bikers Wendy Lyall and Katie Brazelton were charged with criminal impersonation after swapping entries; Brazelton was injured and did not want her race registration to go to waste. The women later accepted a plea bargain that required community service and a written apology.
Wiens is scheduled to race again this year, as is pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer. Armstrong has hinted in recent weeks that he may also race again in this year's event.
Official Press Release
LEADVILLE, Colo., August 05, 2010 – A sold-out field of more than 1,500 riders, including some of the sport's best professionals, will take to the hills of Colorado for the Life Time Fitness Leadville Trail 100 Race Across the Sky August 14. The event, which is now owned and produced by Life Time Fitness, is the original 100-mile (160 km) ultra-distance mountain bike event, beginning and ending in the heart of Leadville, Colorado, located 100 miles west of Denver.
Participants from 48 states and 21 countries will race on single- and double-track dirt roads that consist of steep climbs and descents ranging from 9,000 to 12,620 feet along the 52-mile out-and-back course. Based on past course results, approximately 65% of riders are expected to finish within the event's 12-hour time limit and receive the coveted Leadville Trail 100 silver and gold belt buckle.
The Life Time Fitness Leadville Trail 100 will be led by major stars of the sport, including six-time Leadville Trail 100 Champion, Dave Wiens, who was defeated in 2009 by seven-time Tour de France Champion, Lance Armstrong. Both will be joined this year by Pro cyclist, Levi Leipheimer, along with some of the best mountain bikers in the world.
"We are excited to add this renowned series to our growing Athletic Events portfolio," said Ken Cooper, vice president, Life Time Fitness Athletic Events. "With our growing presence in Colorado and nationally, the Leadville Trail 100 supports our commitment to provide Life Time Fitness members and sports enthusiasts with a wide range of world-class event opportunities.

All we know about the place was that it was called The Cozy Corner, Rockaway's nicest refreshment place, and that it was situated on Jamaica Bay at Beach 46 Street in Edgemere. Excellent boating and fishing were available at the site.
Conch Basin (once Little Bay) is to the north of the site, and old Rockaway Airport was just to the west, before the projects were built on that site.
Can anyone supply us with information on this nice looking establishment?

College Hockey:St. Norbert Top Team for Third Consecutive Poll
Last Remaing Unbeaten, Second Ranked Elmira Siphons Away Two First Place Tallies, Hobart and Bowdoin Each Rise Three Spots, Middlebury Two; Southern Maine Loses First Game and 12-3-0 Adrian Enters the Poll at No. 15
MINNEAPOLIS — For the third consecutive poll, the St. Norbert Green Knights are the top team in college hockey. Their hold on that honor, however, is more tenuous after it took overtime in each game to defeat St. Marys and fourth ranked St. Thomas. Despite their unbeaten streak reaching 14, their first place tallies were pared to 17.
The Elmira Eagles, equally brilliant over the last month and now the nation's only team sans a defeat, posted convincing wins over Morrisville (5-1) and Geneseo (6-1) to recapture two first place votes lost last week. Separated now by just 16 points, these two teams earned all top accolades.
Plattsburgh remained third with a 3-2 win over Norwich and the aforementioned Tommies — after a 5-1 rout of Lake Forest and the tough OT loss to top-ranked St Norbert — stayed in the fourth position. In outscoring their two opponents 13-3, University of Wisconsin-River Falls jumped one spot to fifth.
Hobart, winners of 12 of their first 14, ascended three spots to No. 6 as Manhattanville, who was upset by Potsdam, fell two rungs to seventh. 1-1-1 on the week — including their first defeat of the season — Southern Maine dropped a spot, as did UW-Stout who lost to St. Johns, 4-3, before shutting out Concordia (MN), 4-0.
Rounding out the top 10 is Middlebury, who has begun to reassert themselves offensively — 4-3 and 6-1 wins over Castleton and Skidmore, respectively — as they claw their way back among the national elite.
Two resounding victories were not enough to cancel out a loss to third ranked Plattsburgh as Norwich descended one spot to No. 11. Equaling Hobarts feat, Bowdoin — now 9-2-0 on the season — leapt three spots to No. 12 after outscoring New England College and St. Anselm, 11-6, while Babson fell a couple of spots to No. 13.
Defending national champion Oswego remained at No. 14 while Adrian made its poll debut by outscoring Concordia (WI), 17-5, in a two game sweep.
After losing to new No. 12 Bowdoin and besting Colby, New England College failed to remain among the top 15 Division III squads.

Pete Carroll walks on the sunny side of the street, he's sees the glass half full.
However, he is about to see half of his secondary get suspended for PED usage. The 6-5 Seahawks are in the hunt for the playoffs, but a stinging loss to the Miami Dolphins set them back in the race.
Furthermore, the news about Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner made the day that much harder. However, Carroll talked about the fourth quarter meltdown, and as usual, put a positive spin on the situation with 710 ESPN Seattle with Brock and Salk.
"They got going and we had our chances to stop them. We had our chances to put the game [away], and we didn't do that. … They went up and down the field. They had 200 yards at that 12-minute mark, and so we had done enough things to keep us in control of the game, but then when it came down to it, we gave them a lot of opportunities.
Then we go back and have that ball on the 40-yard line … and we went backwards three plays in a row. … We had the game in hand on both sides of it, and weren't able to finish."
"We made mistakes and we made enough errors on just fundamental stuff, letting the ball bounce around a couple times … and we weren't as sharp as we have been and need to be. That's a little bit of theme here for us.
We have not been as sharp. We're making mistakes that are killing us, and they're just fundamental things. … It's really frustrating. And, at times, it basically comes down to guys trying to do too much."
They handled us inside pretty well. They did a nice job of just owning the line of scrimmage, inside out. Because of that, we couldn't get started. This was the first time we really didn't run the football. I felt like all other games, we found a running game enough."
We found, for the most part, enough movement in there to get the thing going. … We can do better than that. … I felt like that was the difference for us in the game."
"We sat on the plane and everybody was pretty quiet, to tell you the truth. … We're going to be fine. We've got a tremendous opportunity ahead of us.
We've got a schedule that gives us a chance to do some really exciting things here as we finish. We have finished well in the past couple years; we're anticipating that's going to happen. … It's so darn close."

Baylark & UMass Run Past No. 7 UNH, 38-21
Oct. 16, 2004
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
DURHAM, N.H.-- Steve Baylark rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns on 43 carries -- all career highs -- to propel the University of Massachusetts football team to Saturday afternoon's 38-21 Atlantic 10 victory against seventh-ranked University of New Hampshire at Cowell Stadium. Baylark was awarded the Bill Knight Trophy as the game's MVP.
UNH is now 4-2 overall and 1-2 in Atlantic 10 and UMass is 3-4, 1-3.
The Minutemen entered the second quarter trailing 14-3, but Baylark's touchdown runs of five yards (at 11:08) and nine yards (2:22) gave the visitors a lead they would not relinquish, 17-14. UMass extended its lead to 24-14 with 33 seconds remaining in the half on a Tim Day-to-Brandon London nine-yard touchdown pass.
UNH trimmed the deficit to 24-21 at 10:45 when Mike Granieri (Linwood, N.J.) connected with David Ball on a 35-yard pass play. The Wildcats were held to 99 yards and committed four turnovers the rest of the half, however.
Day (18-for-33, 293 yards) threw his second touchdown pass of the game, this time a seven-yard completion to Mike Douglas, at 1:05 of the third quarter to extend the advantage to 31-21. Baylark's third TD run of the game, which came with 1:57 to play, capped the scoring.
Granieri, who had not played since incurring a knee injury in the season
opener, entered the game in the second quarter and finished 19 of 31 for 170
yards, one touchdown and one interception. Ricky Santos who platooned with
Granieri following his entry, went 16-for-32 for 98 yards, one touchdown and
three interceptions.
London was UMass' top receiver with 136 yards on seven receptions. UNH's Ball was the game's leading receiver with 15 catches for 145 yards. Daivd Bailey also reached double digits in receptions with 10 for 69 yards for the 'Cats.
The Wildcats quickly took a 7-0 on the game's opening possession when Santos completed a seven-yard pass to Shaun Diner (Montreal, Quebec) at 12:00. A 49-yard interception return by Aaron Thomas (Lansdale, Pa.) gave UNH a 14-0 lead at 10:40.
UMass pulled within 14-3 on a 24-yard field goal by Michael Torres at 1:41 of the first quarter.

On the Pacific Coast, there is no bigger issue in the fishing community than the potential copper operation of Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay, Alaska. And a similar problem may have just hit the northernmost state on the East Coast as well.
A company that owns more than a million acres of Maine forest land has proposed a gold-and-copper mine right at the headwaters of the Fish River, according to Trout Unlimited. Water draining from the site would flow directly into prime native brook trout waters, some of the few remaining native trout waters in all of the northeast.
Last month, a bill was introduced that weakened restrictions to mining, paving the way for the subsidiary of JD Irving to propose the mine. Since then, TU's Jeff Reardon has worked with the Maine Lobsterman's Association and Maine Professional Guides Association to help restore some of those protections. They succeeded but not completely. "The amended version would allow increased groundwater pollution, relax standards for mine reclamation, and weaken the financial protections the public has against a bankrupt mining company," according to Reardon.
The amended bill moved out of the Maine Environment and Natural Resources Committee, and is now up for vote as soon as this afternoon. TU is urging all Maine anglers and anyone who aspires to fish for Maine brookies to contact representatives urging them not to support this bill in order to protect this fragile habitat. We'll let you know how the vote turns out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MissNat Elegant and sturdy. Great piece! We searched for a while to find a counter-height table that would transition well over the years and suit whatever decor we choose. This table is the perfect mix of classic and rustic to suit our taste. (The patina is nicely balanced with the laquer finish.) It's sturdy and quite heavy, especially given the price, and was very simple to assemble. (Lifting the hearty legs to line them up with the top before securing was the hardest part. Took all of about 5 minutes to put together.) Lovely piece that works well in our living/dining space. August 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skywayguy Wonderful table I absolutely love this table! It is perfect for the apartment I have, dimensions are great and I love the height of the table. The finish is great and is easy to maintain. Legs are a bit hard to get in, but the table is very nice when finished. Happy I made this purchase! December 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by T Don't wait to buy! I've been considering this set for a few weeks now and finally headed to the closest Cost Plus store to purchase it in time for Thanksgiving, however they had no tables in stock and only 3 chairs. The employees were very helpful though, getting me stock numbers and phone numbers to other Cost Plus stores, I was finally able to find a store with 1 table and 2 chairs and I went back to the first store and picked up 2 more chairs, the manager said they wouldn't be restocking this set until Feb. 2012. Very popular and deservedly so, it's solid and beautiful! Chairs are already assembled so all you need to do is attach the legs to the table and your set! November 20, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bad Jack Beautiful wine country style table. You can't go wrong with this table. It is a beautiful, well made, rustic style table that has the charm of the wine country. Each one is unique and different. I have mine in the kitchen for exactly that, a gathering table. Napa charm at a great price. August 6, 2011

Volkswagen, the world's second-largest carmaker, posted an unexpected decline in fourth-quarter operating profit as inventories of unsold vehicles nearly doubled, ending an otherwise bumper year on a downbeat note.
Based on preliminary full-year results published on Friday, quarterly operating profit slipped 0.9 percent to 2.29 billion euros ($3.05 billion US), just missing forecasts for a slight increase to 2.38 billion euros.
The results come after Europe's number two carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen pledged to sell key assets and cut more costs after its automotive business swung to an operating loss.
The French rival is now in talks with General Motors' loss-making German carmaker Opel, because it has a high exposure to the shrinking European market, unlike Volkswagen.
VW is not entirely immune to the economic downturn in its home region, though, despite its strong market position in the relatively dynamic economies of Asia and Latin America.
Car production at VW outstripped deliveries by nearly 100,000 in the final quarter, creating a stock of unsold vehicles that was nearly twice as big as the number of cars built in the first nine months.
The group's cash pile, needed to fund the possible takeover of Porsche's sports car business this year, shrank to 17 billion euros at the end of December from over 21 billion three months earlier.
"It's not bad at all though, considering they splashed out some 7 billion to buy shares in MAN and increased their investments due to the all new Up! minicar and upcoming Audi A3," said Silvia Quandt analyst Albrecht Denninghoff.
"After this amazing rally at the start of the year, though, upside potential is dwindling, so adding to your (investment) position now is not as great an idea as it was two weeks ago," he said.
Preferred stockholders will receive a payout of 3.06 euros per share, which was below the average estimate of 3.16 euros.
Volkswagen is expected to publish detailed results for the full year and an outlook for 2012 at its annual news conference on March 12.

Carved Cedar Peace Poles
Click pics to enlarge
I prefer to make things that last for generations. A cedar peace pole lasts about thirty years. So I stopped making them. However, my brother makes a few from time to time. He does not sandblast them. He carves them with a "V" bit, which is like typesetting in wood. It makes very nice text. But we end up throwing a lot away when we carve in cedar because cedar chips during carving, unlike, say, maple. But cedar is bug and rot resistant and lasts a long time outdoors, and that's important for peace poles.
Pictured here are some that didn't turn out the way he wanted. We got an order for an 8 feet tall wooden peace pole with eight languages on it. He didn't like the way the first one turned out, so he made another. Then we figured out that one of the translations was not oriented properly - something you would notice only if you spoke Hindi. So he made a third. However, we now had the first two he made with the Hindi laid out wrong. All the other languages read from top to bottom. The Hindi read from bottom to top. Owning either of these would be like owning a parlor game and quizzing people to see if they can find the mistake.
The original pole we sold for $750. The two we had left we sold for half price, $375 each plus $60 for shipping. I told him he should make more to sell for half price because there are people who can't afford $750. If he offers language choices, they have to cost $750 because of how much work it is to get one right. But if he makes four with the same languages on them, not offering any choices, just the polls already made, he should be able to sell them for half price.
The translations on the poles shown are Odawa/Ojibway, Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Swahili. I told him that if he uses Cherokee instead of Odawa/Ojibway, but keeps the other seven languages the same, some people would be interested.
If you want to see photos of all the languages on these polls, click here. The next ones would be similar.

At this link you can see a forty-two inch tall, five-sided, maple pole we made for a chapel.

If emotion did not play such a large role in how we run our world, wooden poles would be made out of redwood instead of cedar. Most redwood (and all the redwood we'd use) is farm-raised on a tree farm in California that is as large as the state of Ohio. The Western Red Cedar normally used for peace poles is not farm raised. It is cut from old growth forests in Canada. Ecologically it would be better to use redwood. Redwood carves better and looks better and comes from a farm. But people go berserk when they hear "redwood," so cedar is used for making wooden peace poles.

Safe and sane fireworks are now on sale in local cities where they're allowed. You must be at least 16-years old to buy safe and sane fireworks. Safe and sane fireworks can be used until July 5, and only in Santa Maria, Guadalupe, Lompoc, San Miguel, Templeton, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Oceano. Local police say people caught using illegal fireworks, like those that shoot into the air, can face criminal charges and fines up to two-thousand dollars. For those who'd rather have someone else light the fireworks, large community shows will take place on July 4 at the Paso Robles City Park, Cayucos Pier, Shamel Park in Cambria, Tidelands Park in Morro Bay, Pismo Beach Pier, and Santa Maria Fairpark.
The Pismo Beach Police Department wishes everyone a happy and safe 4th of July celebration. Again this year, the City will host a fireworks display off the end Pismo Beach Pier beginning at approximately 9:15 PM. The Police Department wants to remind everyone attending this celebration that ALL FIREWORKS (including "Safe and Sane") are illegal in the City of Pismo Beach. The Pismo Beach Police Department will be very proactive in preventing fireworks from entering the beach area and will be strictly enforcing all illegal fireworks violations. If an officer observes anyone in possession of fireworks, the fireworks will be immediately seized. Illegal fireworks detonated and ignited on the beach are extremely dangerous and pose a serious threat to the safety of all families on the beach, who simply want to enjoy a beautiful fireworks display.
Westbound Pomeroy at Cypress will be closed at 4:00 AM and remain closed until approx. midnight. Only emergency vehicles will be allowed through to access the pier area. The pier parking lot will also be closed at this time. Westbound Hinds at Cypress will be closed at noon. All entry into the area will be restricted to authorized vehicles only. Vehicles will be permitted to exit.

Zero Level
Fourth-edition Dungeons & Dragons is scaled to a higher starting level of power than third — or, for that matter, than any previous edition. First-level characters are no longer fresh off the farm — they're already skilled adventurers and even heroes in their own right.
Personally, I like this. I enjoy a more heroic style of play in fantasy, even when I'm running with a low-magic setting. I like proactive characters who aren't afraid to take risks and try cool things, and who've learned a couple of tricks, and who won't die of a scratch. I used to start most of my campaigns at third level. In fourth edition, first level feels good to me.
But some people enjoy playing at a lower power level, and watching those farmboys — the ones who survive, at least — develop into heroes. This can be a fine idea for a game, but it's not something that 4e as-written really serves. 4e is a flexible system, though, and by borrowing a little from the game's past, it can be made to suit.
Back in the old days, long before 3e, there were players who felt that the first-level characters of the time were too powerful, and who wanted to take their characters from fledgeling heroes, just a hair or two beyond the masses of commoners, and develop them into real first-level adventurers. For them, an optional system was devised — a set of pre-first-level tiers, a "zero level" for a player character. A zero-level character had a subset of the abilities of a first-level character, and would need to gain about half a level's worth of experience in order to reach first level and gain the rest.
The same idea can apply to 4e.
In keeping with the design of 4e, a 0-level character will be tougher and capable of more tricks than his 1e counterpart was, but the feel is still pretty much the same. A 0-level character is more limited, more fragile, and less heroic in nature. The potential is there, but it needs to be developed.
A 0-level character is created in a slightly different manner than usual. Make the following changes at each step of the process:
- Choose Race. No changes.
- Choose Class. Choose a class as usual; however, you lack some of the class features of the class you choose. See below.
- Determine Ability Scores. No changes.
- Choose Skills. You know one fewer skill. For example, a cleric knows Religion plus two (rather than three) skills from the list of available class skills.
- Select Feats. You do not select a feat.
- Choose Powers. You select at-will powers normally. You may select an encounter power, but you may only use that power once per day until you reach level 1. You do not select a daily power.
- Choose Equipment. See below.
- Fill in the Numbers. You have half the hit points and half the healing surges that your class would normally provide. You take a -1 penalty to all attacks.
Class features are a little tricky, since we don't want to lower survivability too much — half hit points and fewer healing surges already make adventuring quite dangerous. We also don't want to leave a class unable to fill its role. I suggest the following:
- Cleric: No Channel Divinity or Ritual Casting.
- Fighter: No Fighter Weapon Talent.
- Paladin: No Channel Divinity.
- Ranger: No Fighting Style.
- Rogue: No Rogue Tactics.
- Warlock: No Shadow Walk.
- Warlord: No Commanding Presence.
- Wizard: No Arcane Implement Mastery. Ritual Casting limited to one ritual.
Equipment can be handled several ways. It might seem easiest to simply cut the starting amount in half, to 50g, but the way pricing is set in the Player's Handbook, this method doesn't prove very effective. It's better to either allow the full starting gold but restrict the available equipment (there's not much full plate armor on the farm…), or to dispense with the gold and give each character a designated set of gear. Perhaps a choice of two weapons or implements (or shields), a set of light armor, a standard adventurer's kit, and 10 gp or so in pocket change. Either of these approaches should allow the character to be reasonably geared while still falling short of what a standard first-level character might boast.
A 0-level character has -500 experience points. Once the character reaches 0, he becomes first level. At this time, he gains training in one class skill, a feat, and any "missing" class features. His "daily" encounter power becomes usable once per encounter, as standard, and he chooses a first-level daily power. He gains the other half of his first-level hit points and healing surges, and the -1 penalty to all attacks no longer applies. He has the opportunity to retrain.
By the time the character reaches level 1, he probably has a little more equipment or other personal wealth than a starting first-level character would have. That's okay. You can reduce the monetary awards you give during level 1 and 2 until the characters are back on pace, if it's important, or you can just handwave it — the difference is quite small in the long run. If you're going by the treasure parcel guidelines in the Dungeon Master's Guide, I'd take the lowest five parcels for level 1, divide the cash rewards by 2, and use those amounts. Generally, no magic items should be awarded during the 0 level, aside from perhaps a potion or ritual scroll. Instead, you might use items of quality that weren't available to the players during character creation (like that platemail).
Characters generated using these guidelines will need to be careful in their adventuring. They'll be relatively poor in combat. They shouldn't be so poor as to die from a single bad roll, but combat is a much riskier proposition. They lack the resources of a regular first-level party — the lack of daily and encounter powers means they have much less to fall back on, or to "open big" with.
On the other hand, if you're the sort of player or GM who'd like it tougher still, you can rule that 0-level characters cannot gain or spend action points. With the reduced resources I mentioned, an action point is a much smaller benefit, but losing it will make things harder on the PCs in a pinch.

One of the first reasonable propositions I've seen for "0th level"
Wyatt´s last blog post: The Primus Libris: Chapter 1
This is great! Seems very well thought-out. I think it'd be worth revisiting later if people want to playtest it and report on their experiences. I'm currently in a group that has a bunch of folks grumbling about powerful 4e characters, so you'll be getting some new readers soon!
Looks really good.
Half HP seems a little low to me, and full ability scores seems a little high. I would probably go with 3/4ths HP and -1 to two ability scores, but that's just my gut. I have no idea which would be more playable and/or better simulate "classic low-level" play.
@Swordgleam: I'd considered ability score penalties, but I thought that the -1 to attacks was a little easier to handle. Practically, players would assign the penalties to their dump stats if they got to choose. You could always say -1 to the two highest abilities, I suppose, but that would hurt some ability score arrays more than others.
You might extend the -1 to skill checks, I guess.
HP was intended to be low, for the "fragile" feeling, and easy to calculate. Might be a little too steep a drop though. That's something I'd need to revisit after more playtesting.
Interesting ideas. While I have no desire to play below first level what you've created appears to be balanced. Similar to you in 3.5 my group typically started campaigns at 3rd level as this power base felt balanced. 4e does a much better job at this as you mentioned.
My view on D&D has always been that the PCs are the hero's and their actions should influence the world. PCs are always smarter, stronger, faster etc than the rest of society. That's why they are the hero's. So being tougher than everyone else at level 1 makes sense from a story point of view as well.
Wimwick´s last blog post: Necromancer Paragon Path
Interesting! I'm not sure it completely does what I want from zero-to-hero gaming (I think there may be too much of a jump between 0 and 1; I think for personal preference I'd have to space out the gradation more), but it's good food for thought, and another good article regardless!
Zachary´s last blog post: Weird Notes From Old Campaigns
Cool idea. I know that in some other d20-based systems, they have a Level 0 option. For example, Spycraft v2.0 has it. It definitely gives you a great option if you really want your players to start out at the bottom of the barrel and work their way up.
Samuel Van Der Wall´s last blog post: Miniatures and 3D Gaming For Modern Campaigns
I don't know how I missed this blog while researching my rules for 0-level characters in 4e. Our idea starts off similar but I cover some things differently in my blog at enworld.
@King Nate: Interesting… yours is a good bit harsher than mine, though. I think it's probably closer to the old-school zero level, but the power jump between your 0 and 1 is even more marked than the one between my 0 and 1. Yours is likely to be a lot deadlier, with the lack of second wind; mine reduced healing surges to cause an increased attrition effect.
I think it'd work, if that's the sort of game everyone's after. It's not my taste, though. ^_^

2009-10 Men's Basketball Quick Facts
July 22, 2009
SCHOOL : University of Massachusetts
Head Coach (alma mater/year): Derek Kellogg (Massachusetts '95)
Basketball Office Phone: 413-545-2610
Sports Information Director: Associate A.D. Jason Yellin
Season Preview
It will be an exciting season for the UMass Minutemen as Derek Kellogg enters his second season at the helm of his alma mater. Kellogg welcomes back high-scoring All-Atlantic selection Ricky Harris and versatile guard Anthony Gurley to go along with a horde of newcomers.
UMass will have seven new players in uniform for the 2009-10 season headed by one of the top recruiting classes in the nation with five-super talented freshmen. UMass has several Top 100 recruits including swingman Terrell Vinson out of Baltimore, Md., who chose UMass over several ACC and Big East schools. Joining Vinson is dynamic scoring guard Freddie Riley out of Ocala, Fla. Also expected to make an immediate impact are gritty, agressive swinman Javorn Farrell from Upper Marlboro, Md., along with forwards Sampson Carter out of Memphis, Tenn.,and Raphiael Putney from Woodbridge, Va.
A pair of transfers who redshirted last season will give UMass front line power after the loss of the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year Tony Gaffney. Sean Carter, who played at Oregon State two years ago, brings similar skills to Gaffney with defensive prowess in the low post and an offensive game around the rim. Hashim Bailey, who was part of two NCAA Tournament teams at the University of Memphis, has two years to play at UMass starting in 2009-10. Bailey will be a power in the paint with his burly 6-10, 275-pound frame.
The returning lineup features two players headed by Harris, who enters his senior year and Gurley, who came on late last season after transferring from Wake Forest. Harris was among the top scorers in the Atlantic 10 all season with 28 games in double-figures including 18 games when he topped UMass in scoring. Gurley showed brilliant flashes in the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a season-high 22 points vs. Duquesne.
The starting point guard will be big question mark as UMass graduated its all-time career assist leader in Chris Lowe. Long sophomore David Gibbs will push for time along with junior Gary Correia. Both saw increased playing time late last season with Gibbs starting the final three games. Up front Tyrell Lynch showed his skills against nationally-ranked Kansas in December and Matt Hill returns from his second torn Achilles Heel, which cost him most of 2008-09.

With the explosion in Home Theater PC's, the prevalent trend
has been to stuff them into ever smaller, ever hotter home electronics look
alike cases. Recently, a friend asked me to build an HTPC. When I showed him his choices in cases, he asked, "Does it
have to go in one of those puny things?"
Right then it occurred to me that it really didn't. A compact mid tower with a complimentary color
scheme would be better in many ways.
With a standard PSU, more room for expansion and air flow, and prices
more in line with reality, we
are looking at a case that fits the bill nicely from Athenatech.
Our case arrived from Newegg unscathed and securely packaged
in a thick walled plain brown cardboard box.
Inside was our case securely held in place by foam and wrapped in
plastic. There was also a power cord,
feet, and assorted screws and clips, etc.
Also included was a little speaker that plugs into the motherboard in
lieu of a traditional and bulky speaker.
As you can see, the case is mostly black with a bit
of silver
for accent. The paint quality is good
overall and not so flashy as to detract from the subdued aesthetic we
want for a living room. Starting at the top, we
have four external 5.25 inch optical drive bays. Below those are two 3.5
inch floppy bays. Next up are the power and reset buttons. Surrounding
the power button is a clear
plastic bezel that lights up to indicate the power is on. It is bright
enough to see, but not so bright
as to be annoying in a darkened room.
Below the power and reset button, we find a
louvered and
screened air vent for which there is no fan included. If you choose to
install one, select a quiet fan. Rounding out the front at the bottom
is a
small hinged plastic door that hides a pair of USB ports and an
auxiliary set
of sound plugs if your motherboard or sound card supports them. The
door is plastic, but is sturdy enough to last
a long time. It also closes securely.

Samsung Google Nexus S UK pricing revealed, Android 2.3 user manual now available
Today in the mobile world is, for all accounts and purposes, Nexus S and Android 2.3 Gingerbread day. Now that the official announcements have been made, the small details are starting to become available.
A short while after the Nexus S was unveiled, its pricing for the US market was made public, and you can read all about it in Florin's post covering the Nexus S launch. What we didn't know back then was the pricing in the UK – as this is one superphone that will cross the pond very fast.
The Google Nexus S is going to become available from Carphone Warehouse in the UK "after December 20″, and it will cost you a pretty hefty £549 if you'd like to buy it with no operator commitment. If you'd like a contract to go with that Nexus S, you'll have to pony up £35 per month to get the phone for free, and Carphone Warehouse will let you choose between Vodafone and T-Mobile as the network you'll be tied to for two years.
Also out is the official Android 2.3 user manual. It's available in PDF form here (caution: direct link to PDF!), and has 374 pages explaining and detailing everything you (or perhaps someone new to Android) would ever want to know about Google's latest version of their mobile operating system.
The manual looks something like the screenie above (which is an excerpt showcasing Gingerbread's new download manager), is full of pictures, easy to go through, and will surely prove useful to many.

Sooo this "diet"/lifestyle thing is way easier than all the previous times! I used to be embarrassed to tell people I was dieting, eating healthier, or had lost weight.... But now I'm not!
Like my roommate (Name is Jord for future reference) is talking to a guy, and at lunch today he was like "Why aren't you eating spaghetti??" (I had a salad w/ cheese and some ranch!) And we talked about how I was on a diet, and while it differed little in calories (because my ranch and cheese) it was healthier and I was trying to eat better.
And multiple people have told me already that I'm looking great (I don't believe they can tell with only 7 pounds gone, but whatever!!). And before I would have shrugged it off or been like "*cough* Thanks...." but now I really accept the compliments! I don't fish for compliments, but I take them when someone offers one! Like, I am working hard to lose weight, I deserve the compliment! The shift in perception has made a huge impact!
Jord tells me all the time she's proud of me, and I always reply with "Thanks, I am too!" Why is it bad to recognize I'm doing well? I love all the support I have started to receive! I really believe it's because I'm open (unlike with my previous eating disorder), and I'm doing it right, and they all see that I'm serious.
Buuut that does open up another door. I'm doing super well, and still have preferably 93 more pounds to go (100 total, 1% for each pound isn't that fun?!). However, I am afraid that once I lose the weight I still won't be convinced that's enough. It's a long road, and I won't know til I get there.... But I am really afraid of redeveloping an eating disorder. It's a scary thought.
However, with Jord knowing (and nobody else, including family does!) I really think she can help me. Because in the past she has been super supportive. And whenever I get funny with my eating habits, disappear quickly after food, etc. she is sure to corner me later. It's a good feeling someone won't judge me and will however keep me in line. So I truly believe she'll do whatever it takes to make sure I'm healthy.
And!! Blogging makes me fully aware of my behaviors and patterns, to where other people can see. So I know red flags will appear if I start thinking "ohh I can't blog this" or "people won't get it".
Best of luck to everyone!!

I don't have any advice for you accept that putting yourself out their helps alot. I use to be the biggest wallflower still am a pretty big wallflower but as soon as i joined sparkpeople i realized i couldn't hide stuff that everything i had gone through in my short life so far somebody could relate to. So i said go for it do you that is all you can do. It is good to have a friend that knows what is going on and maybe can say to wait a minute don't do that. So no reason to not be proud of yourself. Keep doing what your doing.

You are worthy of every compliment you get! They are fun to receive, but even more fun to hand out. I find I get along with others better when I look for things I can sincerely compliment them on.

~Leslie Poles Hartley
when it comes to positive reinforcement...just take the compliments and keep going. Think of it as supportive people who are trying to encourage you to keep up the good work. And make good choices is definitely what it's all about

The spiral represents "the journey of life", according to this item's description, which is all very well and good, but we're mostly delighted by how tactile these Cosmic Spiral Rings ($28 each) are (and how they remind us of those sweet curly shoelaces from the nineties). It looks like we could put a little pressure on them and they'd jump right off our fingers - if they weren't made of metal, of course.
Great ring!
Great and a very informative post for me. Thanks a lot for sharing.

The Fukushima 2011 nuclear disaster radiation is expected to reach the United States West Coast, next month. Even though no federal agency samples Pacific Coast seawater for radiation, a group of scientists are monitoring and measuring radiation plumes coming from the Tokyo Electric Power company's nuclear reactors.
Low-levels of radiation arriving soon
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan resulted in a tsunami with waves measuring up to 133 feet causing death and devastation in Fukushima and Honshu, Japan. Close to 6,000 people were injured and over 15,000 people died. Cooling pumps in nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant complex shut down due to the tsunami and earthquake, causing three reactors to meltdown. Tokyo Electric Power Company reported they determined contaminated water was leaking into the ocean, last July. Some people suspect the problem was purposely not reported.
Last week, at the American Geophysical Union's Ocean Sciences Section conference, a submitted report showed that Cesium 134 arrived in an area of the Gulf Coast of Alaska, in Canada. According to Ken Buesseler, a chemical oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,
"I'm not trying to be alarmist. We can make predictions, we can do models. But unless you have results, how will we know it's safe? The models show it will reach north of Seattle first, then move down the coast."
Monitoring and predictions
Scientists predict the levels of radiation coming from Fukushima are extremely low. They claim the radiation is so minimal; it will not harm the environment or humans. Nonetheless, some citizens and scientists are doing their own monitoring and obtaining their own samples.
On the other hand, West Coast states are reducing their tsunami debris response efforts. Washington State Department of Health affirms they do not test ocean water for radiation. Communication director, Tim Church reports,
"We have none happening now and we have none planned. Typically that would be something that would happen on the federal level."
In addition, Washington suspended their marine debris reporting hotline.
Radiation does decay; Cesium 134 has a half-life of two years. Nevertheless, residents on the West Coast can expect minimal detective activity of radiation to appear on their shoreline.

The Philadelphia 76ers had one last chance on Feb. 26 to avoid an infamous mark. Of course, the Sixers have assured themselves of infamy all season with all their embarrassing losses. While the Sixers weren't embarrassed in a 101-90 loss to the Orlando Magic, except in the fourth quarter, the result of clinching an 0-11 month of February was more than humiliating enough.
The Sixers had one of their better chances to win in February, even if it was against the third-worst team in the NBA in the Magic. Of course, since Philadelphia was destroyed by the league-worst Milwaukee Bucks two nights earlier, the opponent didn't really matter.
Still, the Sixers didn't make the woeful Magic look nearly as good as they made the woeful Bucks look. In fact, Philadelphia was actually tied with Orlando going into the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, this set the Sixers up for one of their trademark woeful quarters, only this time it was with the game still on the line.
The Magic didn't run up more than 40 points in 12 minutes, as the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors and the Bucks did to the Sixers. All they needed was 34 points in the last stanza to win, while Philadelphia could only muster 23.
Naturally, Orlando's leading scorer was Nikola Vucevic with 21 points, as he continued to make Philadelphia pay for giving him away in the infamous Andrew Bynum trade last summer. That deal was the first step that decimated the Sixers' franchise, and this winless February is the latest consequence to come from it.
March will have to have at least one win or two, or else the Sixers will set themselves up to make some real NBA infamy. Yet losing 11 straight games in February, and 12 straight overall, still doesn't give Philadelphia the NBA's worst record or any better shot at the top draft pick. Losing all 16 games in March might do it, but even the Sixers may not want to go that far.
The accompanying slideshow lists just how the Sixers fell flat every single time for an entire month. Some results were more horrifically awful than others, yet every defeat counted the same and combined to make this 0-for-February happen.
