She told him, quote, "Oh, Solomon, you are so handsome. I thank God for you. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
William has three sons from his previous marrage, however, Solomon is his first child with Brenda. Congrats!!

SNOHOMISH — It was the best of the North and the best of the South on the soccer field Monday night, as the two conference leaders met at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Reilly Cross ensured the hometown North would win the Wesco Civil War, netting a hat trick to help Snohomish defeat Jackson 4-2 in a Wesco 4A crossover game.
"Reilly's a good player," said Snohomish head coach Dan Pingrey. "Tonight he was on."
Cross gave Snohomish the first lead of the game in the 20th minute. Connor Nutt, who tallied the assist — his first of two during the game — crossed the ball in and Cross put it into the lower right corner of the goal.
Brendon Wheeler scored the game's second goal, 14 minutes later, on a penalty kick, that Cross had a hand in developing. The kick was awarded after Cross was tackled in the penalty box by a Jackson defender trying to make a play on the ball. The Timberwolves' keeper had charged another Snohomish forward, who passed the ball over to Cross.
"We've got a lot of crafty, active players," Pingrey said. "As a result of that, you can't just focus on Reilly."
Cross added two goals in three minutes in the second half to give Snohomish a 4-0 lead. The first, was shot from about 22 yards out that found the top far corner of the goal. Three minutes later — in the 49th minute — another pass from Nutt went to Cross and he completed the hat trick.
Going into the game, Pingrey told the Panthers to focus on their game and not worry too much about the team on the other sideline.
"Our focus is just on us and what we do," Pingrey said. "Cause I think we're good. We know they're gonna be solid. We anticipated a battle."
Snohomish (6-0 league, 7-0 overall) was seeing its first official action since last Thursday. After a tough week, Pingrey gave his team a long weekend off. The Panthers' coach thought his team could use a break, but admitted that the layoff left his team "a little rusty" at the start of the game.
"We shook the rust off," Pingrey said. "The good thing was everybody got to play. Everybody got to shake the rust off."
Jackson (4-1, 5-2) came into the game undefeated in league play and atop the Wesco South standings — and left the game tied for the same position with Mariner, which defeated Lake Stevens 3-1. The Timberwolves had a hard time getting past Snohomish's strong defensive line, particularly senior center backs Wheeler and Lukas Martinson.
"The backline, our juniors and seniors, they're experienced," Pingrey said. "They're confident. They trust each other."
The Timberwolves got two late goals by junior Brady Witsoe in the 69th and 78th minutes. The goals came on backup goalkeeper Luke Riske, who replaced starter Brenden George in the 64th minute. Pingrey subbed all of his players into the game.
Despite the strong performance against a top local team, Pingrey isn't allowing his team to read too much into the victory. He wants the Panthers to continue to work hard in practice if they want to be an elite team, and continue to be ranked No. 1 in the state.
"We're going to celebrate tonight and then focus on Wednesday (a home game against Edmonds-Woodway)," Pingrey said. "We're trying not to get too excited on what might be and just focus on us."
At Veteran's Memorial Stadium
Goals–Reilly Cross (S) 3, Brendon Wheeler (S) 1, Brady Witsoe (J) 2. Assists–Connor Nutt (S) 2. Goalkeepers–Jackson: Armando Huerta. Snohomish: Brenden George, Luke Riske. Records–Jackson 4-1 league, 5-2 overall. Snohomish 6-0, 7-0.

A fun read. I don't mind the idea of an iconic, but I want to see them done better than in 3rd. In particular, let's not have another Mialee...
I think the most fun I had with the iconics was seeing how Redgar the Fighter was always put in a bad spot.
As for the questions posed... Can iconics die? I think they can. I think the art of an edition colors the players' expectations. In 4th Edition, everyone is doing something amazingly heroic, and things play that way too. It's shocking when a character dies. If in 5th Edition, we see adventurers in trouble, or adventurers being slain, it drives home the sentiment that not all adventures end in glory and riches.

Hmm, no mention of using iconics as a tool to help players and DM's learn the game.
If "A" is broken, that isn't a valid reason for "B" to be so, even if they vary in degree.

Drizzt. Mialee. Hisssss.
A few Iconics are great for the core rulebook. But every iconic should have a purpose. Mostly to display the different types of characters.

The Combat Only PC.
The Noncombat PC
The Noncore four race PC
The Noncore four class PC
The Obliviously Multiclassed PC
The Evil PC
The Noble/Royal PC

I liked iconics from 3E and missed them in 4E. If anything, I'd like to see more integration. They were rather.. anonymous before. Don't just decide their race/class and what they look like - give them personality. Make an adventuring group out of them, discuss how they interact with each other. They could feature a lot more heavily in the DMG than the PHB to be honest.
You could even go so far as to give the iconic characters iconic players. The powergamer, the actor, the storyteller and so on.

It's interesting. I thought the "secret push" behind this set of poll questions was "How would you feel about a single iconic character?" And I think this ties to what they were saying overall about the brand of D&D with previous discussions about the logo, about possibily having a non-logo icon (ala the "dragon swirl" at the top left of the Next character sheets), etc.
My guess is that they want to use Elminster more heavily, as a "front of the DMG" type character ala some of the 1e books. This is based on the 1 character assumption above, their seeming renewed focus on Forgotten Realms, and the fact that the wizard character may strike them as the most uniquely D&Dish.
(Though to be frank, if they were going to pick a single iconic, I think a rogue/thief is more iconically D&D. It's the iconic dungeon crawling, kill 'em and take their stuff character class. The guy who's prying out the statue's jeweled eye is a thief, not a wizard.)
Ultimately, they can do whatever they like with this. I don't know anyone for whom this is makes a serious difference either way. But my preference (as with a lot of things) would be to use a similar approach to what was done in 3e.

The gods, why did he have to put Mialee in that article. Haven't we been punished enough already?
For matters more serious, 3.X style iconics are a good thing, even though they ended up severely overused and there where some real bad ones.
I think there should be a great number of iconics and they should be equaly used. Some should be heroic, some should look rather ordinary and some should be downright non-heroic. True to DDNs goals, they shouldn't create many new ones, but draw most of them from D&Ds history. Maybe even use some well known villains, like Lareth from the Moathouse (ToEE).
I think a ratio of iconics in 1/4 to 1/3 interior art pieces would be a good aim, with iconics on book covers being a rarity.
As a little aside note, while the art style did nothing for me, I quite liked the story of that little comic. Dwarfes mostly expressing their feelings mostly through love letters the length of books (propably carefully anotated for citations of dwarfen legend) for some reason is both amusing and very likely to me.

I think Mialee is fine. To be honest, I think "hating Mialee" or "ugly Mialee" is more of an internet meme that folks like to pile onto.
I liked iconics quite a bit, and hope they make a return.

An "iconic" that emerges somewhat naturally from the game as it is designed, and then is carefully used to show that aspect of the game, without beating us over the head with it ... great.
An "iconic" dreamed up by marketing and then shoehorned into the game, and worse even affecting which products are produced or how bits of them are produced ... I don't think I'm allowed to say on this board how that really makes me feel. (Where's the "vomit" emote when you really need it?)

I think iconics are a good tool to be used. Absolutely use them in the marketing, and absolutely use them (sparingly) in the core book to tell an implicit story, and absolutely put them on the cover of the core book if it's a scene of adventurers doing something.
But don't use them too much, don't use them in situations where they don't make sense to be, and don't put them on too many covers (ok, maybe put the iconic fighter on the cover of Complete Fighter, etc., but don't get carried away). The key is subtle storytelling and brand recognition, not whacking the readers/players over the head.
Also, design likeable characters with good (non-stupid sounding) names and cool (non-stupid looking) looks. MtG's been doing it right: Sorin and Gideon are infinitely better than Tordek and Regdar. Also they should actually be iconic characters: the paladin shouldn't be wearing brown leather and so forth.
BTW, what happened to Jon's and Klaus's "one thread with all the art discussion" idea?

Like the Jackson Five They Loved, the Boys Aim to Become the Biggest Brothers in Bubble-Gum Soul
"Who, the boys?" Angela replied.
Moments later, that's how the brothers were introduced—and it's how they've been introduced ever since. Now, with their first LP (Messages from the Boys)in the stores and their first single ("Dial My Heart") on the black charts, the Boys are trying to introduce their accidental stage name to the Top 10. "Once, we wanted to be just like the Jacksons," says Khiry, at 15 the Boys' senior member (Hakeem is 13, Tajh, 11, and Bilal, 9). "But now we know we can be ourselves. We have our own styles and our own personalities."
Not that the Boys don't invite comparison to their Jackson Five forebears. Their music—a bouncy bubble-gum funk—echoes with high-pitched, preadolescent harmonies, and their dance style has more flash than a light-show laser, thanks, in part, to their karate and gymnastics training. They are also polished, and for good reason. Tajh made his TV debut at about 6 weeks as Kunta Kinte, the infant held aloft at the beginning of ABC's widely successful 1977 miniseries Roots. With help from his maternal grandmother, Patricia Satterwhite, who ran a children's acting workshop in Long Beach, he matured into roles on Cagney & Lacey, St. Elsewhere and TV commercials for McDonald's fast food, Mattel toys, Fruity Pebbles cereal and other products. Hakeem has played prime time in Diff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life and Amen, as well as in the movie comedy Ernest Goes to Camp. All the brothers, however, say song and dance is more fun than acting. Admits Hakeem: "When the girls are screaming and stuff, I really like it."
Back in their little-Boys days in Carson, Calif., the young performers used to lip-synch the lyrics to old Jackson Five LPs and copy dance moves off various TV videos. "We'd just watch stuff and then say, 'Hey, let's try to do that step,' " says Bilal. Then on a spring day in 1984, hoping to earn some money to buy a Father's Day dinner for papa Jabari Abdul-Samad, the boys took their living-room act to the boardwalk at nearby Venice Beach. Within a few hours they had collected $69 in change; within a few months they were earning up to $500 a weekend performing at the beach next to chain-saw jugglers and stand-up comics. "It was wild," recalls Hakeem. "Bums would try to steal our money."
Seeing some showbiz potential here, Jabari, 40, and Angela, 38, enrolled in an entertainment management course at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. One morning, while driving to a job for his carpet-cleaning company, Jabari noticed a line of kids waiting to audition for a TV show called Junior Star Search at L.A.'s Aquarius Theater. He stopped the car, called Angela and told her to bring the boys. The brothers landed a spot on the show and, within months, their first recording contract.
Though the Boys now travel by limo to their gigs at shopping malls and junior high school assemblies, at their family's modest San Fernando Valley home they still take out the garbage and double up in two bedrooms. "They don't put on airs," says their father, a Vietnam vet who converted to Islam in the early '70s. "I don't have to do anything in the way of discipline, because it's all been done during their formative years, ages 1 to 7."
At the moment, there's hardly time for lessons in discipline anyway. In recent months the Boys have appeared at New York's Apollo Theater, on TV's Soul Train, and now they are taking a tour of Europe to promote the Message LP there. Are they then finally escaping the shadow of their early Jackson Five mentors? "I think since they're five brothers and we're four brothers, people will compare us," says Tajh. "But I think we'll be even bigger."

Whooping cough confirmed at Butler Co. schools
Another case suspected in Warren Co.
Butler County is starting to see cases of whooping cough in area schools.
There have been two confirmed cases of pertussis in Hamilton's Garfield Middle School and another in the freshman building.
"The two students, or the three students now, they have to go to their family physician, they have to be on appropriate antibiotics for five days and they need a note from the doctor before they come back to school," said Joni Copas, of the Hamilton City School District.
On Thursday, the Butler County Health Department confirmed a fourth case. In Warren County, there is one suspected case.
"The coughing can become like a 'whoop,' where they're short of breath and having trouble getting their breath," said Dr. Todd Habel, pediatrician with Muddy Creek Pediatrics in Mason.
Pediatricians say whooping cough is highly contagious. It begins as a mild upper respiratory illness and can resemble the common cold. The biggest precaution parents can take ensuring their children's immunizations are up to date.
"We initially do the vaccines when they're infants so they get them when they're 2, 4 and 6 months, and then a booster shot before they go to kindergarten, and then there's another booster shot when they are 11 years old," said Habel.
Health officials said it's not unusual for outbreaks to pop up here and there, but if the germs get into a pocket of people who haven't been fully vaccinated, whooping cough can really take off.

MEDINA, Minn. - Indian Motorcycle has released a short film about the creation of the "Spirit of Munro" tribute motorcycle.
The "Indian Motorcycle — The Spirit of Munro" film and behind-the-scenes videos are at http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/riders/video/munro-documentary
"I must give credit and the utmost respect to my friends who made this project possible," said Robert Pandya, Indian Motorcycle's external relations manager. "As I have managed the program and proudly unveiled it in Daytona Beach in March, it has grown to be seen and appreciated at an international level and has been lauded with many kind words and the support of Indian Motorcycle fans."
Jeb Scolman of Jeb's Metal and Speed in Long Beach, Calif., was tasked to build the motorcycle around a prototype Thunder Stroke 111, Indian's new engine.
"Jeb did so with three solid months of 18 hour days, taking only Christmas day off, building a truly stunning tribute machine to Burt Munro and the spirit of those who choose to do rather than just watch from the sidelines," Pandya said. "It's a remarkable piece of work that must be seen to be appreciated. It will be on display in Sturgis this summer as we launch the new Indian Chief."
Journalist Todd Eagan accepted the challenge of riding the untested bike on a dry lake.
"The first time power was applied in gear was on that dry lake," Pandya explained. "Jeb's work shone through as the bike tracked perfectly straight."

Police are investigating an armed robbery that took place at B&M Tobacco Shack in Spring Mills on Wednesday evening.
Lemaster said at least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun and there may have been more weapons involved, but the investigation was still in its early stages.
"They haven't given out all the details," Lemaster said at the scene. "They are still taking statements."
A more detailed description of the suspects was not immediately available.
The suspects fled in an unknown direction of travel. A Berkeley County Sheriff's Department K-9 unit ran a track in the area of the shopping center where the incident occurred, but no suspects were located, indicating they may have entered a vehicle.
The investigation remains ongoing as of Wednesday night.

I just watched the White House Press Secretary briefing:
Jay Carney repeatedly says, with different words, that Benghazi has been investigated and investigated and investigated – as though getting more information is 'beating a dead horse' or there is nothing more to produce in documents or anything to be said.
That is just not quite so. My thought: if he were correct, that there were nothing more to produce after all these months since September 11, 2012….how come all those new documents, including the Ben Rhodes email were just released last week in response to a Court Order? The documents and emails were not released in all those other Committee hearings….so…what else is the Administration sitting on? They were obviously sitting on something until last week!
And the American people still have not heard from the witnesses on the ground at the time of the attack at Benghazi. The Administration has not given us their names and I am sure that eye witnesses could be helpful in understanding what did or did not happen in Benghazi.

I don't have anything at all to be mad about because I'm not the one who has been made to look like a complete mong. I've actually found the whole thing to be hilarious.
It's just one more butthurt moron after another lining up to take shots at me. You're not special you're just another toothpick.
Back-tracking like a boss there, Bully. You claimed I 'came at you' and even quoted the cock-sucking comment as 'proof'. It's just a few pages ago. Go and read yourself.
And I didn't come at you. I backed you up when Froot tried to backstab you. I love having scraps in Rants so this is all fun for me, but you take it all so seriously. This is some real shit to you.
There's no humour in your posts because you ain't smiling when you write. I am, Bully, I'm grinning from ear to ear.
Come and entertain me some more.

Fucking pussy.
I have no 'status'. It's an online forum. It's cute that you have all these names for yourself and your worthless summer indoors but not everyone does things for a 'status'. What do I gain from this? Recognition? Obviously don't need any. 'Getting over'? Been 'over' since 2006. Recruiting new 'followers'? Nope, same people who have been cool with me still being cool with me, and anyone who agrees with the obvious is not trying to kiss my ass, they just simply agree that you are arrogant and full of yourself. When every post is about some bullshit saviour garbage and telling people they can't 'run' with you, it isn't a joke, it is something you really believe, and saying 'it doesn't happen outside of rants' to try to save face isn't going to work. Of course you don't say it outside of rants, you idiot. The comments would start a shit war and you would probably end up being banned if you said it outside of this section.
Wiped up the floor with your ass, take it like a man, stop embarrassing yourself, and bow out, bitch.
You remind me of Cerbs. It's funny because I even commented on your first picture that you looked like Cerbs and your second picture was totally different. Spawned from the same shitheap.
The lies are you claiming I'm serious about it. You're still doing it, you won't let it go because it's the only thing you've got. You're going round and round in circles, spewing the same old nonsense.
You're a hypocrite because your status is so important to you that whenever anyone questions it, you roll out a wall of text to try and justify yourself. Yet you try and project that onto me.
You've said I'm a coward because I made a reply thread to you.
Do you even know what the word means? We have Bully over there claiming a similar thing because I posted this morning when he wasn't online. Childish at best.
You two need to get your heads together and try harder. You ran out of material halfway through your own OP. An OP I already dismantled and pissed all over.
You haven't wiped the floor with anyone. Keep churning out the nonsense. This is funny for me. You're amusing me.

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Reviews Here:
"In our opinion, ATI has more than succeeded in their goal of proving to computer enthusiasts that the RX480 is a chipset for serious performance overclocking. These are, overall, the best overclocking results that we have ever seen with an Athlon 64 motherboard. The fact that these were achieved on a Reference board is all the more amazing!"
What a great job done by ATI.

At slumber parties we watched horror movies, told ghost stories and strapped ourselves to railroad tracks while high on cough syrup. Scariest of all were the games that everyone seemed to know, even without the benefit of YouTube tutorials -- tricks that supposedly unlocked magical powers or malicious spirits. And the funny thing is, these games have been going on for generations because on some level, they work. It wasn't demonology behind our scariest party pastimes, but science.

Psychopathic killers: Computerized text analysis uncovers the word patterns of a predator. As words can be the soul's window, scientists are learning to peer through it: Computerized text analysis shows that psychopathic killers make identifiable word choices – beyond conscious control – when talking about their crimes.
This research could lead to new tools for diagnosis and treatment, and have implications law enforcement and social media. The words of psychopathic murderers match their personalities, which reflect selfishness, detachment from their crimes and emotional flatness, says Jeff Hancock, Cornell professor of computing and information science, and colleagues at the University of British Columbia in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology. Hancock and his colleagues analyzed stories told by 14 psychopathic male murderers held in Canadian prisons and compared them with 38 convicted murderers who were not diagnosed as psychopathic. Each subject was asked to describe his crime in detail. Hesitant Speech Helps Kids, Um, Learn. Parents never want their tots to learn to fumble over words, but they need not worry about their own "uhs" and "ums"—such filled pauses may actually improve kids' ability to pick up language.
Such vocal hesitations, called disfluencies, tend to occur before we use a word that is infrequent or unfamiliar in our speech. They also precede words used for the first time in a conversation. Disfluencies keep adults tuned in and help them process the real words that come next. Raëlism.
