UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
It look as if Mark Millar's vampire-induced disaster has been averted.
If you'll recall, on Thursday Millar was upset to see Marvel's "We are the X-Men" teasers that hint at a mutants-versus-vampire storyline. That's because some of the elements — Blade and vampires attacking mutants, namely — seemed awfully similar to an Ultimate Avengers arc that Millar had been talking about publicly for some time.
So, before Millar contacted Marvel, he took to his message board, writing, in part: "How the Hell did this happen? It wouldn't have been as big a deal if I hadn't started the series yet, but it's almost done and just going to look foolish following an X-Men event. Am honestly just so disgusted with this as I've talked about it many times. […] I'm hoping this is some horrible misunderstanding. I've only seen what you've seen online with Blade and the X-Men and a vampire Jubilee (again, very close to stuff I'm doing). Fingers crossed this bullshit gets fixed, but am getting closer and closer to just doing my own stuff every day."
But by the end of the day Millar had updated his forum members, saying he had spoken to Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley, and that the misunderstanding would be sorted out today. And that appears to be what's happened.
"It seems there was something of a communications problem between the Ultimate U and the Marvel U, which is understandable because they don't share the same continuity," Millar wrote today. "Anyway, the similarities between these storylines were evident, but with a few tweaks these are being cleared up and Marvel have been great about it. The extra good news is that Ultimate Avengers 3, the arc guest-starring Blade, has now been pulled forward by a month or two and fans of the book are going to get lots of double-shipping. […] Marvel took the miscommunication problem very seriously and we sorted it all out today with a couple of conference calls."
The X-Men storyline, which presumably ties into The Death of Dracula, is expected to be announced Sunday at C2E2.
Color me relieved!
This whole thing seems stupid… mostly because I seem to remember the X-Men killing Dracula back in the '80's.
"I seem to remember the X-Men killing Dracula back in the '80's."
Dracula always comes back!
Wait does this mean that Millar is still a whiny self-entitled narcissist that gets upset when another cliche work for hire storyline gets done before he claim his version a masterpiece that will no doubt include meaningless violence, gore, and sexual assault?
So it's alright for Millar to rip off ideas from other writers (like he allegedly did with Claremont's "Dark Wolverine" story), but it's a cardinal sin if someone does it to him. What a friggin hypocrite.
Blue Saint — yes.
Going straight to Buckley was not the best thing to do, if Millar cares about office politics at all. What does he think Quesada and Brevoort are there for? Going to Buckley to clear up things only supports the impression that Millar, Bendis, and a few other writers (?) do what they like, and the editors are only there to help them out.

From Adelaide in Guys and Dolls to Nina in In the Heights and Elphaba in Wicked, female characters in Broadway musicals have belted and crooned their way into the American psyche. Author Stacy Wolf looks not just at female characters but at women performers and creators to chronicle the evolution of feminist thought in this singularly American theatrical form.
Wolf is a professor of theater and director of the Princeton Atelier at the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. She is the author of A Problem Like Maria: Gender and Sexuality in the American Musical.

Seated for the first time in years to look at the complaint of a Harmar tenant, the Marietta Fair Housing Board convened Monday and asked the tenant's landlord to postpone eviction proceedings.
For over a year, 58-year-old Trish Landsittel has been urging the Harold and Janet Cranston, the owners of her rental on Fort Street, to repair the stairs to her second floor apartment.
"The stairs were dangerous. The steps were rotted. There was no handrail, which is totally out of compliance," said Landsittel.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Trish Landsittel stands near the stairs to her Fort Street Apartment. Landsittel has argued for months to have her landlord perform repairs to the stairs and has now filed a complaint to the Marietta Fair Housing Board.
After multiple complaints and court proceedings, some repair work has been done, said Landsittel, but now she has been informed her lease will not be renewed-a decision which Landsittel feels is retaliation for her persistence in getting the stairs repaired.
"I had my rent placed in escrow. While my rent was in escrow I was sent a letter telling me I needed to vacate my premise by March 31," said Landsittel.
Meeting Monday, the Marietta Fair Housing Board asked an attorney for the Cranstons to urge them to stay eviction proceedings, confirmed Felix Burrows, chair of the Marietta Fair Housing Board.
Harold Cranston referred questions about the situation to his attorney, Colleen Cook.
Cook left a message with The Times declining to comment on pending cases.
The complaint with the fair housing board is one of the latest in a long line of resources Landsittel has appealed to first get the stairs fixed, and now to prevent her from being kicked out.
After a first accident in July when a step broke and Landsittel's son fell down the stairs, she started petitioning multiple agencies, seeking a way to have the problem addressed.
The Ohio Civil Rights Commission currently has an open case looking into the matter, she said.
After a second accident in December she started taking court action.
"In December, a step broke under my mother and threw her down and she had to go to the emergency room. She was 76 and the picture of health. Now that's not the case," said Landsittel, referring to pain and health problems her mother has had since the fall.
Landsittel petitioned in January to have her rent put in escrow, and for two months Marietta Municipal Court held her rent.
In a ruling filed April 1, Marietta Municipal Court Magistrate Anne Keegan agreed that the stairs had been out of compliance with the state fire code for eight months. But the code violations had been rectified as of March 10, Keegan wrote.
Keegan ordered the rent in escrow be released at that point, but docked the landlord $25 a month for the "defective conditions".
Around the same time she petitioned to have her rent put in escrow, Landsittel filed a complaint with the fair housing board. That complaint effectively reinstated the Fair Housing Board after it had been inactive for many years, said Marietta City Law Director Paul Bertram.
"At that point, there were five people impaneled," said Bertram.
However, one member resigned. Another recused herself from the particular case and a new member had to be seated before the board had a quorum, said Bertram.
The board met Monday, and will meet again this coming Monday for an executive session to hear more about the case, he said.

Bionic Gardening Gloves do more than keep my hands clean. Designed by a leading orthopedic hand surgeon, Bionic technology is totally unique.
The difference is the bionic gardening glove's ergonomic design, which is based on the anatomy of the hand. Hillerich & Bradsby, the revered maker of Louisville Slugger bats, sells the sheepskin gardening glove. Backed by an Arthritis Foundation study, the Bionic glove improves grip strength 16 percent over the use of bare hands and improves ability to twist things, like metal knobs, 47 percent.
I have at least six different pairs of garden gloves, but the Bionic Gloves are the ones I actually use. Most gloves feel clumsy, making it difficult to do delicate, hands-on chores. These gloves are so comfortable, I often forget I'm wearing them.
This spring, I made wind gloves—the five-fingered version of a windsock—with all my other gloves.A pair of women's Bionic Classic Gardening Gloves costs $39.95. You can order these and other Bionic Gloves at www.BionicGlove.com; or call (877) 524-6642.

RIM and Motorola sued over visual voicemail patents
Klausner Technologies has sued Research in Motion (RIM) for allegedly infringing on visual voicemail patents. The suit has been filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas by the California law firm of Dovel & Luner.
"The lawsuit is based on the recent unveiling by RIM of certain new 3G 'BlackBerry Bold 9700' mobile phones which use Klausner Technologies' Visual Voicemail patented technology," the company explained in an official statement.
??"Various Blackberry models with the Visual Voicemail feature are already covered under [our] patent licenses granted to mobile operators. [We currently have] 24 visual voicemail patent licensees."
It should be noted that Klausner has also accused Motorola of infringement for using the same patented technology in its Cliq mobile phone.
??In addition, Klausner sued Apple and a number of other corporations in 2007 for allegedly violating his company's patented voicemail technology.

Most Omaha metro schools are reopening Friday, a day after the season's first major snow storm forced eastern Nebraska schools to cancel classes on Thursday.
Omaha, Millard, Elkhorn and other Omaha metro schools announced that classes in their schools are back on Friday. Lincoln Public Schools also is reopening Friday.
But slick roads and power outages led some schools outside the metro areas to remain closed Friday. They include Arlington, Bennington, Blair, Elmwood-Murdock and Gretna schools.
The blizzard that swept into Nebraska on Wednesday dropped more than nine inches of snow in some areas around Omaha.

Baruch Fraternity Members Uncooperative in Investigation: Police
Members of the fraternity Pi Delta Psi have been uncooperative with an investigation into the death of a fraternity pledge during a weekend retreat in the Poconos this month, authorities said Friday.
"They have been evasive throughout the whole process," said Harry Lewis, the chief of the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.
Chun Hsien "Michael" Deng, the student who died, had traveled to a rented house with about 30 people as part of his pledging Pi Delta Psi. In a hazing ritual, Mr. Deng and three other pledges were blindfolded, outfitted with backpacks weighed down with a 20-pound bag of sand and were then physically struck by other people present, authorities said.
The president of Baruch College, Mitchel Wallerstein, sent out a stern, school-wide reminder of anti-hazing rules this week, writing: "the College is interviewing all Baruch members of the fraternity and any Baruch student who attended the event in the Poconos … Unfortunately, some students have so far refused to cooperate with our review and that of law enforcement; so it may take additional time to ensure that our process is accurate."
The school administrator also announced in the e-mail that Baruch has instituted a "lifetime ban" on Pi Delta Psi.
The national Pi Delta Psi organization cut ties with the chapter earlier in the week. Andy Meng, the president of the fraternity, said Pi Delta Psi has "revoked and terminated all affiliation with the Baruch colony, effective immediately," in a statement.
Mr. Lewis said charges are expected to be filed in the case, but he could not say whether that would happen before the New Year.
Mr. Deng was a freshman at Baruch, originally from Queens, and a Bronx High School of Science graduate, school officials said.
Asked if expulsion or suspension was likely for the students involved, Christina Latouf, a spokeswoman for Baruch, said "until our internal review is complete, we can't talk about that."

...Spanish language graphic novels?
I am not an expert on Spanish Language graphic novels, but they are certainly available, as this link to Brodart's collection shows.
...yaoi and/or yuri manga?
We review quite a few BL titles here on the site, so please read our reviews for recommendations.
If you're looking for a great list of both types of titles to check out, please check out the list several colleagues and myself compiled for our 2010 presentation on Yaoi and Yuri for GBLTQ readers, hosted over at Deb Aoki's Manga at About.com blog. Also, for more in depth discussions of these titles and the two subgenres in general, please check out the transcript of our panel Deb edited and posted -- a million thanks.
If you're curious about collecting such titles for your library, here's an older but still hopefully useful basic article on the subject I wrote for Library Journal: Romance by Any Other Name. Sadly, many of the titles mentioned here are out of print, but the basics are still valid.
If you want to get specific recommendations tailored to your preferences, please fill out this form and we'll see what we can do!
...the specific comics issues I'm looking for?
This is one of those times when Wikipedia is, in fact, a great resource (as Wikipedia often is for pop culture.)
Example: the issues and collected editions of the recent Cassandra Cain Batgirl comics. It's just so clear.
If you're looking for a run of particular comics series or a way to figure out which collected editions feature which comic book issues, I direct you to check out Wikipedia. They almost never fail me, and I admit, if you email me and ask, I'll likely just look it up on Wikipedia. So give it a go yourself!
...whether this manga is considered shonen, shojo, josei or seinen?
There are two places I check the original intended audience of manga -- Anime News Network's Encyclopedia and Wikipedia. Search for a title in both places and you should have your answer. Both sites are reliable for these questions and generally allow me to figure out which magazine the series was originally published in and thus which target audience the series was originally aimed at.
Now, who reads it in actuality and who reads it in the US may be different from the original Japanese intention, but if you're looking to define the origins, then the marketing categories are defined by what magazine the series was serialized in for the Japanese reading public.
...a comics creator to come and speak at my library or school?
I do not have any more connections than anyone else to the comics industry, so I fear I have no significant pull with the various comics creators out there.
However, I would suggest that you contact your local comics shop! Comics shops frequently host creators of all kinds, and the staff will know who would suit the purposes of your visit and the age range of the audience. If you're not sure where your local comics stores are, use the Comic Shop Locator.

'DK Bose' drags Censor Board into trouble
Lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya has very smartly played with words to make the song decent enough, even though it sounds of a Hindi cuss. Though the song is ranking high on the chart buster, there are a section of people who are really angry with the Censor Board for allowing the song to be screened in theatres along with 'U' certified films and to be played on TV.
They view that the song will be a bad influence on the youth. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has now sent a formal mail to the Censor Board questioning their nod to Delhi Belly and the song 'DK Bose'. The angry masses now demand an explanation from the board for passing a song with a cuss under 'U/A' certificate.
The song has been sung and composed by Ram Sampath.

Pica was a noble French lady who married the wealthy Italian cloth merchant, Pietro Bernardone. The story is told that when she was in difficult labor with her first child, a stranger in pilgrim's attire appeared who told her and her husband that the child would not be born until she had been transported to a stable. A little chapel is now built on the spot of that stable where Francis Bernardone, now known as Francis of Assisi, was born.
It was Pica who taught Francis his faith by both her word and example. It was she who gave him his love of poverty. And it was she who set him free after his father had locked him up for selling his horse and his father's cloth to rebuild a small church.
After the death of her husband, Pica went to Francis for spiritual guidance, wore the penitential garb of the Third Order of St. Francis and devoted her life to works of charity and piety.

A sensor is a transducer that converts a physical, biological or chemical parameter into a electrical signal, for example: temperature, pressure, flow, or vibration sensor. Sensors also measure some physical parameter and return digital data representing that parameter to an NCAP.
A sensor can also describe itself to the network, making it easier for automatic system configuration. It does this by the use of TEDs.The TEDs can be uploaded to the system upon power up or upon request. It also serves as documentation.
Sensor: Takes a new sample with each trigger.
Buffered Sensor: Behaves like a sensor, but makes the data acquired on the previous trigger available for immediate reading.
Data Sequence Sensor: Acquires a sequence of measurements without missing a sample.
Buffered Data Sequence Sensor: Keeps the most recent readings in its buffer so that it is always available to be read immediately after a trigger.
Event Sequence Sensor: Armed by the trigger and responds with an acknowledge signal when the event is detected.
An actuator is a transducer that accepts a signal and converts it to a physical action. In other words, an actuator causes an action to occur relating to the data that was sent to it by via an NCAP. Data written to an actuator is held in an input register until the trigger is received.
An actuator can also describe itself to the network, making it easier for automatic system configuration. It does this by the use of TEDS. The TEDS can be uploaded to the system upon power up or request. It also serves as documentation.
DAC stands for Digital-to-Analog Converter. It is an electronic circuit that inputs a digital value and outputs a proportional analog signal.
ADC stands for Analog to Digital converter. It is an electronic circuit that accepts an analog input signal and outputs a proportional digital signal. For IEEE 1451.2, an onboard analog to digital conversion circuitry converts the analog voltage levels of transducers to the digital representation used by the node applications.
D I stands for Digital Input. DI is used to input binary-state (low or "zero" state and high or "one" state) signals by sensing switch closure or light beam breaks. For example, for positive logic, a zero-volt input is equivalent to an low input, and a five-volt input is equivalent to a high input.
Digital Output (DO) is used to output binary-state(low or "zero" state and high or "one" state) signals to actuate devices such as relays and solenoids.
Address Logic is a character or group of characters that identifies a register, a particular part of storage or some other data source of destination. IEEE 1451.2 uses functional addresses and channel addresses to control the flow of data and configuration information between the NCAP and the STIM. For example, address logic can be implemented by a discrete circuitry, ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), or microprocessor.

This video is written with false propaganda claiming 'Syrian forces' killed a 'rebel' child. New assessment of the situation in Syria show that over half of the so called freedom fighters are terrorists. In other words, the entire 'struggle' is terrorist lead. These extremist have been using their own murders as propaganda in their three year murder sprees, like the recent chemical gassing of children who belonged to minority Alawite families near Latakia, kidnapped by Syrian anti-Assad extremists just weeks before. Pro-Sunni extremist argue that the child is actually a 'rebel' child. Is the child dressed like a Muslim child? And who is holding the child? The Syrian army or extremists? This is just one of endless number of murders committed by the extremist pretending to be 'rebels'.
Witness to a Syrian Execution: "I Saw a Scene of Utter Cruelty"What follows is a harrowing series of photographs of Islamic militants publicly executing, by decapitation, a young Syrian in the town of Keferghan, near Aleppo, on August 31, 2013.
Because of the danger in reporting inside Syria, it was not possible to confirm the identity or political affiliation of the victim. Nor are we certain about the motivation of his killers. One eyewitness who lives in the area and was contacted by TIME a week after the beheadings said that the executioners were from ISIS, an Al-Qaeda franchise operating in Syria and Iraq.
TIME obtained the images exclusively from a photographer who was recently in Syria. This decapitation was the last of four executions he documented that day. TIME has agreed not to publish the photographer's name, to protect him from repercussions when he returns to Syria. What follows is an edited account of his experience:
The man was brought in to the square. His eyes were blindfolded. I began shooting pictures, one after the other. It was to be the fourth execution that day I would photograph. I was feeling awful; several times I had been on the verge of throwing up. But I kept it under control because as a journalist I knew I had to document this, as I had the three previous beheadings I had photographed that day, in three other locations outside Aleppo.
The crowd began cheering. Everyone was happy. I knew that if I tried to intervene I would be taken away, and that the executions would go ahead. I knew that I wouldn't be able to change what was happening and I might put myself in danger.
I saw a scene of utter cruelty: a human being treated in a way that no human being should ever be treated. But it seems to me that in two and a half years, the war has degraded people's humanity. On this day the people at the execution had no control over their feelings, their desires, their anger. It was impossible to stop them.
I don't know how old the victim was but he was young. He was forced to his knees. The rebels around him read out his crimes from a sheet of paper. They stood around him. The young man was on his knees on the ground, his hands tied. He seemed frozen.
Two rebels whispered something into his ear and the young man replied in an innocent and sad manner, but I couldn't understand what he said because I don't speak Arabic.
At the moment of execution the rebels grasped his throat. The young man put up a struggle. Three or four rebels pinned him down. The man tried to protect his throat with his hands, which were still tied together. He tried to resist but they were stronger than he was and they cut his throat. They raised his head into the air. People waved their guns and cheered. Everyone was happy that the execution had gone ahead.
That scene in Syria, that moment, was like a scene from the Middle Ages, the kind of thing you read about in history books. The war in Syria has reached the point where a person can be mercilessly killed in front of hundreds of people—who enjoy the spectacle.
As a human being I would never have wished to see what I saw. But as a journalist I have a camera and a responsibility. I have a responsibility to share what I saw that day. That's why I am making this statement and that's why I took the photographs. I will close this chapter soon and try never to remember it.

"All Around Dancer" Fun Dangle
The Square Dance is the official Washington State dance
On April 17, 1979, the square dance became the official Washington state dance. When the pioneers came west, they brought with them a dance called the quadrille, which means square in French. The pioneers liked the simpler term and so the square dance was born. The dance is known for its series of figures and footwork. Dancers are directed by a caller. It is easy to learn, a good form of exercise and fun.

Product Description
After a flood of train games it is nice to see another transport system featured in a game. Bus is about developing a bus system in an expanding city. The game is played on a large map, which is promised to be a delight for experienced gamers (!), and it features 3 types of buildings: homes, offices and bars. Citizens spend their entire lives travelling from their homes to work to the bar and back home again, and it is the players job to build a bus system that keep this infrastructure effective in order to obtain the ultimate goal: to earn a lot of money.
You can do this by buying more buses, expanding your lines, or making sure your bus rides before any other busses do--that will allow you to take away other people's passengers. But you can also decide to build new houses, offices and bars at strategic locations--or to attract more people to the city so that you can earn more. If other players don't lure them away....
Each turn, players decide which actions to take by using two or more of their action tokens--players have 20 to spend as they please during the game. Timing is all-important, so the game is all about interaction--guessing, or if you're clever, foreseeing what the other companies are going to do. There is no luck involved, but it does contain a weird twist in the form of a mad scientist. He has discovered a machine that can stop the time--which will really hurt most bus companies, but perhaps not all.

Forget the warped board and the fact that a person may fall over occasionally--it's not a big deal. This is the Die Macher of transportation games, and has some wonderful mechanisms working in tandem to keep you thinking and engaged throughout the whole game. When you notice that the scoring track only goes up to 20 or so, and that the play time is around 3 hours, you will wonder why it is so hard to get people where they want to go! Spiteful opponents and limited opportunities for control go a long way toward explaining it! Great game, but the board IS going to be warped, and therefore the price is going to sting.
We played this game one aftenoon, but a couple of problems arose.
First, the four sections that comprise the board came slightly bent so the pieces have a hard time staying in place. Some of the pieces have to stand vertically, and end up falling over when someone would make the table shake even slightly.
Secondly, it could use a much bigger board. When you have four parallel routes running in the same road, it gets over-crowded and hard to keep track of.
Once we got past the VERY steep learning curve, things picked up. Unfortunately the frustration in learning this game (even though I read the rules about 20 times) caused many headaches and my friends lost interest... but we managed to have fun in the end.
So, after all that, this ended up being very interesting game that we'll probably try again.
Just don't expect to play this game correctly the first time and make sure you play a few 'Learning Rounds' before you actually play a real game.
Bus is one of two full-size box games released by Splotter at Essen 1999, along with Roads and Boats. Through the game, players use a limited set of actions to build a road network in an attempt to deliver passengers to their desired destinations. The mechanisms employed in this basic concept are quite original and lead to a contemplative and close game play. While Bus has some peculiarities, it is one of the better games released last year and is definitely worth a play if you've not had the chance to try it.
The great-looking board shows the city plan with a series of intersecting streets, locations for buildings to be constructed, and two train terminals. At setup, each player gets one bus, places two buildings and places the first two sections of their road network in 'Settlers' fashion. After passengers are set on each of the four center corner intersections, the game begins with the first set of actions.
The idea of the game is to move passengers from where they are to where they want to be. Where they want to be is determined by the time of day; in the day, they are at work, in the evening at the pub, and at home overnight. Each building (work, pub, and home) is built at intersections, so if a passenger is delivered to a pub when it is evening, the player that carried them gets one point. Since the clock rotates from home to work to pub continually, every successfully moved passenger starts the next round on the previous time's building. Our pub passenger next turn would want to go home, so the bus that carries him to a 'home' building gets another point.
The Action Board, a separate strip from the main board, is the heart of the game mechanic and includes seven options. You only have 21 actions to use during the whole game, however, and must use at least 2 per turn, limiting the flexibility. Colored cubes represent the 21 actions that each player is given at the start, although the first is used in the setup to place a bus in the parking lot (one of the seven actions available on the board.) No actions are taken until everyone places each action cube that they plan to use for that round, beginning with the start player and only choosing one action at a time until everyone else has the chance to place. While you must choose at least two actions, you can choose as many as you'd like up to your limit of cubes. In practicality, you will use three actions once in a while and rarely find use for four in a single round. Once everyone has placed, the actions are executed in the manner that they are laid out on the Action Board, left to right. This has real implications, as you will see.
Some of the actions can be chosen by multiple players, while others, once chosen, are closed for the rest of that round. Three of the actions are limited by a concept called the "maximum number of buses". This is simply the most buses owned by any single player, and it limits the number of players that can choose the action and the number of buildings that can be constructed, passengers that can enter the city, and roads that can be built. Importantly, this limit decrements for each player after the first to choose the action. For example, if Dave has three buses in his fleet and this is more than any other player, only three players can build buildings. The first player to choose the action builds three, the next builds two, and the last builds only one. The same is true for road construction and new passengers, although sometimes the first player to place gets to move first and sometimes last for the chosen action because of the left to right rule.
Understanding each action is key. Here they are in order from left to right on the Action Board as they are executed:
- Build Roads: Using the concept above, the roads built equals the maximum number of buses from the previous round. This is because, as the first action executed, even if someone chooses to add a bus they would not have their action implemented until after the roads are built. In most cases, once a road is built it will be unique for that block, but there are rules that allow multiple roads in the same lane when routes are cut off or two different lines meet at their heads. Multiple people can request this action.
- Add a Bus: Only one player per round can do this, and when they do the action block is pulled into a parking spot with their other bus(es). This gives an easy visual reference to the number of buses in each fleet, and the maximum number of buses concept described earlier. When run, each bus can carry one passenger at a time.
- Build Buildings: Using the maximum buses process, players can build their choice of buildings on spots still open. Spots are labeled A, B, C, or D and all the A's must be filled before the first B, etc. This keeps development roughly toward the city center early, spreading out as the bus lines grow. Since some intersections serve two building spots, placing different building on the two spots can make a passenger just jump across the street with no bus movement needed when the time changes. Each building, like the buses, can only accommodate one person at a time.
- Add Passengers: People enter the city at one of two rail stations, and from there can be taken by any bus to their desired location. There are a fixed number of people in the game, and often all the potential passengers are in the city by mid-game. This is the last action to use the maximum buses limit.
- The Clock: Only one player can affect the clock, and if no one selects this action the clock moves ahead as normal to the next 3-way position (Home to Work to Pub). If selected by one person, that player has the right to stop the clock (not allow its advancement) at the cost of one victory point. This freezes many passengers, since by definition those successfully delivered last round will already be where they want to be. This tactic can be used both offensively and defensively and is one of the issues discussed below where an improvement may help.
- Run the Buses: This is the only action that allows you to score points. Beginning with the first player to choose the action, each player runs each bus in their fleet, attempting to deliver one passenger on their line to an appropriate building elsewhere on their line. No other lines can be used, and if there are no appropriate empty buildings or available people then the action is wasted. Like all multiple-player actions, this can be chosen more than once for multiple scoring opportunities.
- Start Player: The one player to choose this action will be the start player the next round. If not chosen, the start player rotates, but this likely will never happen as the ability to place your action first gives the ability to build the most roads, run the first bus, or other 'he who is first wins' actions.
How these actions are used determines the speed, flow, and scoring opportunities in the game. The mechanic works well most of the time, although smart play usually results in very low scores as people try to block scoring opportunities for others if they will not disproportionately benefit. This is the first weakness in the game: it is too heavy for its theme. Studious gamers will spend a lot of time analyzing their action placement and implementation, creating a serious mood for what otherwise could be a strategic yet faster moving process.
The good points of the game clearly outweigh the weak, however. There are real choices in the action phase, although typically building roads and running buses will take precedent. Being locked out of first place, or in fifth place in a five-player game, can be the difference between scoring multiple points or nothing at all. This brings up the second flaw in the game: very low scoring with four or five players. The world loves soccer except for the US, so maybe it's my national bias that makes me cringe a bit at a high score of seven after a two-hour play. That said, the game is clearly exciting and keeps everyone interested due to the constant changing road networks, passenger flows, building constructions, and scoring potentials.
The last issue that raises some question is the clock. As mentioned before, choosing to stop time effectively freezes out many possible plays since the location preference doesn't change. Speaking with Gerard Mulder at the Gathering of Friends, he told me of a discussion whereby instead of stopping the clock the player would advance two spaces instead of one, ensuring that people could move but possibly not where most had planned. I'm eager to try this idea as it makes sense and may make the clock play both more strategic and less frustrating.
The production value of Bus can't be overlooked. The board shows a city nicely populated with buildings and fixtures all named after other games ("Axis and Alloys Wreckers" is a personal favorite,) and a scoring track made of islets named after other games. All of the other Splotter titles appear, of course. The naming has nothing to do with the game, but makes for a very nice appearance and generates a lot of smiles when people first realize what they're looking at. While only a limited number were produced, Splotter has promised to have more available for this year's Essen so those interested should be able to find a copy soon. Get one for yourself, and get on the Bus!

Editor, the Record:
I live by Hay Road and Reeders Run Road in Reeders and we're having a growing problem with ATVs and dirt bikers riding up and down our roads. They are illegal to start and they ride them very recklessly. There are several of them.
We have the police patrolling and asking us for videos, which we've provided. They are going to start issuing citations now that enough evidence has been provided, but we need more help.
Can you help write something to help us put an end to this problem? We're looking forward to hearing from you. Please hurry; someone's going to get hurt or killed from a motorist and we're very concerned. Thank you.
