Knights of the Old Republic: Last of the Sith (OOC)
Alrighty then. An all Jedi game was wanted, so that's what this is. I will go into a good amount of detail about the setting, character information, etc, but first, list of potential players. Since there is such a large interest in an all Jedi game, I am willing to run this with as many as 8 PCs divided into two groups. Currently, here's who has expressed interest:
Nolem Kanas (Human/Male)
Brother Shatterstone - Skyka Tarkrak - Human Female: Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 5
Andrew D. Gable - Barrick - Mon Calamari: Jedi Consular 6
Drothgery - Aerek Nexia - Human Male: Jedi Guardian 6
Deadestdai - Bud'd Dwelve - Twi-lek Female: Jedi Consular 6
Marin Essenu (Miralukan/Woman)
Insight - Urcala Nattu - Miralukan Female: Jedi Consular 4/ Jedi Investigator 2
The Goblin King - Shombat Sule - Sneevel Male: Jedi Guardian 4/ Force Warrior 1
The Other Librarian - Jei Garu - Nagai Male: Jedi Guardian 6
Vendetta - Aalun - Gand Male: Scout 1/ Jedi Consular 4/ Findsman 1
I need everyone listed there to post here confirming that they're in. Now, for the actual game information:
Barely a year has past since the final battle of The Sith War. During this war, the fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma allied himself with a long dead Sith Lord and corrupted many other Jedi, mostly through a smashed Sith Holocron, the pieces of which imbeded themselves into Jedi and possessed them with Sith Spirits. They ravaged the known galaxy, badly damaging the planet Coruscant and turning the Jedi library world of Ossus into a charred rock in space. But Ulic was defeated when Nomi Sunrider stripped him of the Force. He was banished, and soon the remainder of the Sith fell, or were returned to their place among the Jedi.
The Galaxy, the Jedi, and the fledgling Republic are still weak from the battle. There is still fear that the Sith will return again, and rumors are spread of remaining fallen Jedi, far out in the uncharted areas of the Outer Rim where the old Sith Empire once was, a thousand years earlier. These rumors have grown into something more, and many among the Jedi assembly have seen things that would hint at truth to these rumors.
Unlike the Jedi Order of the Rise of the Empire Era, many Jedi Masters took on multiple apprentices. Love was not looked down on, and the Jedi were much more free thinkers than the restricted Order they would grow into.
The PCs in this game are apprentices of one of two Jedi Masters. One is an older Human male named Nolem Kanas, the other a Miralukan woman named Marin Essenu. Each of these Jedi Masters(and their apprentices) are called upon by the Jedi assembly to search out the Sith and make sure they are truly gone. Each group will be operating seperatly, and likely on different planets(entirely depending on PCs choices), but cooperation and communication(when possible) between the groups will be important.
Whew, that was a lot. Now, the galaxy isn't completely explored yet, so while I will allow nearly any race from SWd20 sources, its best to pass something by me just to make sure. The same goes for planet of origin, etc etc.
I will allow the PCs access to ALL SWd20 published books EXCEPT for The Dark Side Sourcebook. This is Jedi campaign, and though there could be some risk of falling to the Dark Side, all the characters have to at least start as Jedi.
Character Creation:
32 Point Buy
PCs will start at level 6(If you take 6 levels in a Jedi class, this means you are on the vergy of Knighthood)
Multiclassing is allowed for Jedi Classes(but not between them) if you wish
Force Adepts are also allowed, though it is likely that they would multiclass into a Jedi class.
-Equipment: If you take all 6 levels in a Jedi class, and have at least 5 ranks in Craft(lightsaber) it is assumed you have already constructed your own personal lightsaber, and therefore get a +1 to attack with it
-Everyone will begin with 10,000 credits
Now...I'm not sure if I missed anything, but if I did, or you need more info, etc, just post about it and I'll help out.

I went ahead and ordered Ultimate Alien Anthology and Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, I'm not sure how much use they will get but I'll let you know what I think of them... (Though I've never been harsh enough in reviews.)
Though I really like of my character being from Dathomir, and being one of them witches, I think the idea of being from a similar culture that was recently and nearly wiped out by the Sith makes for a better story.
I would like to request my character having Nolem Kanas as her master, and also to be in his group... I would like to implement a fair amount of hero worship, romantic infatuation between them, or at least on her side of things...
Lastly, I figured that it Nolem help fight the Sith on her home world and it was him that "saved" her by leader her away from the shattered light and gave her a purpose...
I guess that rather dark... but at least love isn't a trip to the dark side like I originally thought it would be...
AMG, does the above jive with what you want to do?
Also I'm not sure if you'll know what I'm talking about but in KotoR there are short lightsabers for off hand use, along with double bladed lightsabers. Anyhow long story short, if I can get you the stats for the short lightsabers would you consider allow them?
EDIT: Okay, the game is obviously not a perfect translation of the d20 SW system but this is what I was able to garner...
Short Lightsaber
Cost: 3,000 (In game it sales for the same amount as a normal lightsaber)
Damage: 2d6
Critical: 19-20
Everything below is conjecture
Weight: 1 kg
Type: Energy
Size: Small
Group: Exotic

I'd like to play...I haven't tried Star Wars...but I only have the non-revised version. How much would be different, especially in regards to classes? If I could get by with the old one, I'm in.

I only have the SW core book so I'm not going to do anything fancy. Human Jedi Guardian straight up. Is Powers of the Jedi good?

OK, I'm thinking I want to be studying under Nolem and would like to be a Jedi Guardian (I just realized I don't have a copy yet of the newest SW core rulebook. I'll be able to get it from Deadestdai... I believe he has it.) and as for race... I'm going to have to give it a couple days to figure out which race I want to be and run it by our beloved GM.
boy, I'm excited

Meridian, Miss.
A house in Meridian was heavily damaged by fire Tuesday afternoon.
The fire happened just before 4 p.m. at 29th Avenue and 7th Street.
There were people at home at the time of the fire, but they all managed to escape injury.
Firefighters were able to get the blaze out relatively quickly, but the home was gutted. No word on the cause yet.
The Red Cross has been called in to help the victims with emergency assistance.

Hispanic Council is a hub group of multiple Hispanic student organizations at New Mexico State University that are under the supervision of Chicano Programs. The purpose of Hispanic Council is to foster professional development and leadership skills at NMSU. Another purpose is to foster unity and cultural awareness among the different Hispanic organizations on campus. The activities of Fiestas Latinas , funded by ASNMSU, are organized under the auspices of Hispanic Council with supervision by Chicano Programs.
To be a part of Hispanic Council, an organization must have an official connection to the Hispanic culture or some official connection to issues of Diversity. All organizations in Hispanic Council must be chartered by ASNMSU (NMSU's student government). If an organization at NMSU would like to approach the Hispanic Council to become a member organization, there is a process for this which is described in the Hispanic Council bylaws. Copies of the bylaws are available at Chicano Programs upon request. Students need not be of Hispanic descent to be members of any of the Hispanic Council Member organizations or to be an elected officer of Hispanic Council. In fact, there have been many non-Hispanic members and officers of these organizations and Hispanic Council itself.
The director of Chicano Programs is the advisor to Hispanic Council. Meetings of Hispanic Council are closed to the general public. Only members of the Hispanic Council organizations, their invited guests, and Chicano Programs staff attend these meetings.
If an individual or group would like to address Hispanic Council, the protocol is to contact the President of the Council a few days before the next meeting to request to be placed on the agenda. It is up to the President to accept, deny or postpone each request.

A blooming metropolis?
It may be tiny, but Fredericksburg offers many Longhorn attractions
Wildflowers, lavender, wineries, Weiner schnitzel and Sunday Houses are not the first images that come to mind at the mention of the Lone Star State. But tiny Fredericksburg, Texas, population 10,000 (small by Texas standards) has them all. And the townspeople love sharing them with visitors.
Fredericksburg's Sunday Houses date back to the late 1800s. They were what nowadays would be called condominiums or second homes of the town's first settlers: 125 immigrants who arrived from Germany in 1846 with deeds to 10 acres of farm or ranch land and one house lot in town. The settlers were farmers, bakers, merchants, blacksmiths, clergymen and bankers.
An hour north of San Antonio and two hours from Austin, Fredericksburg lies nestled into the Texas Hill country. The town's rich German heritage shows through in its architecture, culinary delights and friendliness.
When Texas won its independence from Mexico, the state needed settlers to fill its vast acreage. Agents were sent to Germany to recruit people who were promised land. Fredericksburg's settlers were brought there by John Meusebach of the Society of Noblemen, formed for the sole purpose of getting the immigrants settled into their new country. Meusebach made a pact with the Comanche, giving them the equivalent of $3,000 worth of gifts so that the settlers and American Indians would live together in peace.
The settlers' first priority was to start farms or ranches and build houses on them for their large families. Most of the land parcels were 20 miles outside of Fredericksburg, making it difficult for some farmers or ranchers to get into town for supplies, church and socializing. So, rather then trek by horse and wagon over rutted roads, many of the settlers built small in-town houses consisting of two rooms, one on top of the other, with outside stairs leading up to the sleeping loft. This way they had a place to stay while doing their shopping, visiting friends, going to parties and attending Sunday school and church services. After dinner they would return to their farms. Hence the name Sunday Houses.
As years passed and the settlers grew older, they moved into town, adding on to their Sunday Houses and leaving the farm or ranch operations to their children. Only a handful of Sunday Houses are in existence today, many of them lived in by family members of the original settlers.
Fortunately for visitors, a few Sunday Houses have been turned into bed and breakfasts. All are within walking distance of downtown Fredericksburg - the Marktplatz, restaurants and shopping - and have simple modern amenities: kitchens, cable TV, telephone, heat and A/C. Leave the laptop at home, as none offers Internet access, just peace and quiet.
In the heart of the historic district, nestled in between two privately owned Sunday Houses, the Mertzger House dates to 1898 and has remained in the family since being built. The house is a pristine example of the original Sunday Houses: one main room and a kitchen, a small front porch surrounded by gingerbread lace trim, and outside steps leading up to what would have been the sleeping loft.
Rode Sunday Haus was built in 1909 at the end of the Sunday House era by the current owner's grandfather, Elias Rode. This cozy nest is sprinkled with family heirlooms; the upstairs is kept as it originally was when the Rode family lived there.
Yellow House, built in the late 1800s, is larger than most Sunday Houses. It has three rooms downstairs with a large master bedroom. The covered front porch is surrounded by lovely landscaped grounds.
Although not a Sunday House, the Loeffler-Weber Haus is one of the first pioneer homes built when the town was settled. Made from logs cut on site and limestone quarried in the area, it offers a rough-hewn romantic look in its comfortable living room and bedroom with king-sized bed and handmade comforter. On the patio is a heart-shaped hot tub, not in keeping with a pioneer home, but a welcome addition for guests.
The best way to explore downtown Fredericksburg is by walking. Stop by the visitors' information center on East Austin St. and pick up a free self-guided walking tour map of the historic district. You can see treasures that range from the Gothic-style architecture of Old St. Mary's Church built in 1863 to the Pioneer Museum's Weber House, the only Sunday House completely intact from when it was built in 1904, to the Marktplatz with the round-sided Vereins Kirche (community church). Add to this the National Museum of the Pacific War that tells the story of native son Admiral Chester Nimitz, the Bierschwale Home, designed in 1889 by noted British architect Alfred Giles, and you will be amazed at what you can take in on foot.
The streets are lined with upscale restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and specialty shops: Der Kuchen Laden, housed in an 1880s limestone building, is a treasure trove for chefs; Fischer & Wieser caters to the epicurean; Showcase Antiques claims the largest selection of antique cut glass in Texas; Johnson Newman Antiques specializes in Flemish tapestries and European furniture dating to the 18th century. This is a short list of what awaits you, there are 15 more upscale shops and 70 restaurants - and that's just on Main St.
Stretch your muscles at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area (snipurl.com/enchrock) where you can rock-climb, bike and hike. The 7 miles of hiking trails wind through the park's 1,643 acres and include a one-mile summit trail that has a 425-foot elevation hike to the top of Enchanted Rock. Climbers can challenge themselves with the rock's 1,000-foot-long fissure.
Several creeks and estuaries in the area feed from or into the Pedernales River, making this prime land for ranching, farming and vineyards. Wildseed Farms (www.wildseedfarms.com) is the largest wildflower farm in the United States. Even if you're not a garden enthusiast, this place is a must. You're surrounded by butterflies and gorgeous fields of wildflowers: Texas bluebonnets, corn poppies and verbenas in spring, cosmos and zinnias in summer.
A visit to the Fredericksburg Herb Farm ( www.herb-farm.com) is a delight for the senses. Row upon row of herbs, such as lemon balm, dill, basil and lavender are laid out in a star-shaped garden sprinkled with calming fountains and statuary. Feeling stressed? No problem, choose from the plethora of massages and treatments at their day spa.
Visit 22 award-winning vineyards and several of the small towns surrounding Fredericksburg by following the wine trail, a self guided driving tour.
Becker Vineyards (www.beckervineyards.com ) has been producing wines since 1995. Their 46 acres of special French Vinifera vines produce eight different kinds of wines from Syrah to Merlot. Their wines have been served at the White House, and have been featured twice in Wine Spectator magazine.
The Maxwell family has been vintners in Fredericksburg for more than 100 years. Their vineyard, Torre di Pietra (www.texashillcountrywine.com), produces specialty wines; Carignane is a Spanish variety with a hint of flowers, their slightly spicy Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in American oak and the Mourvedre from a Spanish grape variety has a strong Arabic coffee finish.
Tucked away in the hills, Singing Water (www.singingwatervineyards.com) is a small hands-on vineyard that produces quality wines: a Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc, a Merlot, a Sauvignon Blanc and a slightly sweet Merlot.
Woodrose Winery (www.woodrosewinery.com), opened in 2001, is already making a name for itself in the wine world with its full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon.
What other town can you go to where the first letters of the street signs along Main St. spell out "All Welcome" in one direction and "Come Back" in the other? Only in Fredericksburg.
Getting there: Fredericksburg is 73 miles from San Antonio, 90 miles from Austin. From San Antonio take I-35 South to I-10 West to U.S. 87 North to U.S. 290. From Austin take I-35 North to U.S. 290 West.

As writer Matt Fraction once told us, "Killing the character is never the point. It's, 'How do they come back? How does that experience form them into an even greater, even stronger kind of hero?'"
Hopefully whoever takes a dirt nap in the upcoming Civil War II #3 (and we think we have a pretty good idea who it's gonna be ) will get a second ride on the merry-go-round eventually, as well as James Rhodes, who already died in a previous issue.
Comic book superheroes and villains die a lot more frequently these days – but they also come back from the dead … a lot. But would readers really want it any other way? Here's a list of the top 10 most significant times characters have cheated death — sometimes more than once.
Oliver Queen heroically took the dirtnap on an exploding plane. And Ollie was really, actually, totally dead. Then again, it helps to have friends like Hal Jordan (unless he's calling you an ethnically insensitive nickname).
Just before Hal went to reignite the sun in Final Night, he paid Ollie's grave a quick visit. Soon, Oliver was back prowling alleys and taking on villains. True, he was as soulless as a teen pop song for a while, but he got better.
Right now, the character might be more visible than ever — as the main focus of CW's Arrow and the lead in an ongoing series that's run since the launch of the "New 52." But there was a time when he was not only dead, but hanging out in Heaven (or something to that effect) with Barry Allen — more on him soon.
Colossus was once nearly destroyed when the Brotherhood heated him white hot and smothered him in molten material, freezing and cracking him. Rogue and the Morlock Healer fixed that. During the Mutant Massacre, he sustained heavy, paralyzing damage, but eventually recovered.
What actually did him in came much later, as Colossus nobly chose to rid mutantkind of the Legacy Virus by injecting himself with the cure. What's that mean? Well, the cure would spread to the whole world and cure everyone only if some poor bastard injected him or herself with it. Everyone would live, but they would die. Petey took it upon himself, and the Russian farmer purchased the arable ground.
It's OK; he got better. Colossus reappeared during Joss Whedon's Astonishing run and reunited with his Katya, though Colossus's time as one-fifth of the Phoenix Force was the final irreconcilable difference. She's currently the new Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, and he is a core member of the Extraordinary X-Men.
Martian Manhunter got to run a long time without buying the farm. However, J'onn got punked at the opening of the Grant Morrison-written Final Crisis event, killed by Libra with the help of his cronies.
At the close of Blackest Night, J'onn was one of a dozen characters to come back to life at the turn of the tide. During the Brightest Day, J'onn went all rocky as the Earth elemental from the Parliament of Stone, but The New 52 brought him back to his recognizable form; first in Stormwatch and now in Justice League of America. He has also subbed in for Catwoman in a fake death for his teammate, "appeared" to have been dead again (didn't last), and faked his death for a third time in his solo title, though his personality was actually split into multiple bodies.
His whereabouts moving into Rebirth are unclear, but he was seen alongside DC's other major heroes in preview art for the new relaunch.
Tony Stark is a killer in the service of Kang! That's what happened in The Crossing back in the '90s. (Sort of. Later retcons made Kang into a disguised Immortus. and now possibly someone else in Uncanny Inhumans #2.)
Nevertheless, at the time, Tony killed the female Yellowjacket, Avengers ally Amanda Chaney, and Marilla (the nanny of Luna, Quicksilver and Crystal's daughter — watch your back, Squirrel Girl).
How do you beat Tony Stark? Apparently not by pelting him with Scotch, but by going back in time and grabbing a teenage Tony Stark to... out-Stark him?
During the final battle with Not Kang, Not Mantis (this Mantis was a brainwashed Space Phantom; damn, they hated The Crossing after the fact), two guys who might have been the sons of the Scarlet Witch (not now; see Young Avengers), and adult Tony, adult Tony had a moment of clarity after nearly killing his teen self and laid down his life to save the day. Teen Tony became Iron Man, but he later disappeared with the Avengers and the FF during the Onslaught event.
However! Thanks to the Heroes Reborn universe created by Franklin Richards, Teen Tony became a new adult Tony, and that's the Tony that did the returning-to-our-Earth in "Heroes Return." It should be noted that Tony also frequently tries to die from his original injuries that led to the birth of Iron Man, but not as frequently as Aunt May tries to die.
So, there you have it: One of the most popular multimedia superheroes in the world once became evil and was placed by his teenage self. (Iron Man 4, anybody?)
Unlike the other characters on this list, Jason Todd's death was voted by popular demand (specifically, and somewhat infamously, via a 1-900 number).
The second Robin was brutally murdered by the Joker during 1988-1989's "Death in the Family" story, and remained a symbol of one of Batman's greatest failures, with his tattered costume on display in the Batcave. Teases — like a famous one during "Hush" — were made here and there that Jason might come back, but he never actually did.
Until he did, of course, specifically as a result of 2005's Infinite Crisis, when Superboy Prime punched the walls of reality (wouldn't you?) and ended up rewriting history a bit — with one of the outcomes being Jason's return.
Taking up the mantle of the Red Hood, Jason is now a violent vigilante that has both worked with and against Batman (turns out he held a bit of a grudge upon resurrection). He's set to star in a new Rebirth iteration of Red Hood & The Outlaws.
Another Robin, Damian Wayne, was also killed in action, and has also since returned to life - and active duty.
Death. Funeral. Return.
That's got to be the most literal-minded set of titles applied to any of the Deaths That Would Not Last. (OK, "Batman R.I.P." and "The Return of Bruce Wayne" are pretty on-the-nose too.)
For the sake of completeness: Superman's alive. Superman fights Doomsday. Superman's dead. Four Supermans show up. Surprise! None of them are Superman. One is a bad guy. No more Coast City. Superman is back! Superman defeats the bad Replacement Superman. Sorry about Coast City, Hal (see you in a minute).
Though Superman's death didn't last — who would expect it to? — it received an unprecedented-for-comics amount of mainstream publicity at the time (1992), when such a thing was pretty rare in the industry.
Now, in Rebirth, it looks like the Superman of the New 52 might also be dead - and this time, it may just stick.
Jean Grey is like the library book of comic book characters; it's her whole job to be taken out and returned.
Obviously, the big moment was X-Men #137 from 1980, where Jean sacrificed herself so that the Phoenix Force wouldn't destroy creation.
But. . . GOTCHA! That wasn't Jean! It was the Phoenix Force looking like Jean, and Jean was healing in a pod at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. Anyone who's ever been to Jamaica Bay can only laugh at the idea of healing waters. But with the help of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, she came back to life just in time for X-Factor #1 in 1985.
And yes, she died again. And came back(ish). And made Scott make out with Emma Frost on her grave. Or something. It happens. But despite teases, Marvel has stuck with the adult Jean Grey's death for nearly a decade now (though the teenage version is currently starring in Extraordinary X-Men).
Bucky died when he and Captain America attempted to stop that ill-fated rocket back in World War II... or so we were led to believe!
Bucky later returned as the brainwashed Winter Soldier, in a story that was adapted as Captain America: The Winter Soldier. After tangling with Cap and getting his memory back, Bucky went on to assume the mantle of Captain America and join the New Avengers.
Talk about failing upward. Of course, Bucky seemingly died again in Fear Itself, to be replaced by, yes, Steve Rogers, who also appeared to have died before being "reborn" a few years ago.
And, as subsequent developments showed, that most recent death didn't last, either — though, to be fair, he was never technically "dead" in the first place. Now alive, he's appearing in Captain America: Sam Wilson as well as the upcoming limited series Avengers: Standoff.
Barry Allen could probably claim the most glorious, heroic death in the history of comic books, literally racing to his demise to prevent the destruction of the remaining worlds of the multiverse at the hands of the Anti-Monitor.
No one would resurrect the self-sacrificing savior of all living things, would they? Why, that'd almost make Barry Allen like...
No, no. We aren't going there.
But he did return, and remains no less than the main Flash of the DC Universe, as well as the star of his own hit TV show. His resurrection was handled courtesy of Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver in Flash: Rebirth, and that very same creative team brought back someone else...
In one of the most controversial comic book stories of the '90s, Hal Jordan lost Coast City, went a little nuts, rampaged through the Corps leaving some floating in space (and actually killing Kilowog... that didn't stick either), tore up Oa, destroyed the Guardians and the battery, and "became" Parallax.
As Parallax, he was behind Zero Hour and other nasty machinations until he save the Earth during Final Night when he died reigniting the sun. Hal got the chance to be at the center of another crossover with Day of Judgment, wherein he became the new Spectre.
In Green Lantern: Rebirth (and where did you think that story was going?), many revelations about the nature of Parallax are made and Jordan comes back to life.
Despite the continued prominence of characters like John Stewart, Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner and the introduction of Simon Baz, Hal's been the de facto Green Lantern for the past few years, and was the version of the character seen on screen in 2011's mostly-maligned live-action film.

Worst. Parent. Ever.
That's me. Flat out worst.
Which is a pity, because the day had gone rather well. Kids playing together, birds singing, sun shining, whatnot. I went out–promising Rory I would come back–and i did, which she seemed to see as a good thing. Better yet, I went for a bike ride with a friend, and every hill just felt good, because it was just so great to be out on my own.
And then…
I miscalculated dinner. I had an easy entree, so I thought I'd go all out and make actual French Fries (there's a new recipe, super easy, in the newest Cook's Illustrated and I highly recommend you run right out and buy it) and a chopped salad, which (surprise!) turned out to involve a lot of, well, chopping. All of this took time and dinner wasn't ready until close to seven, and since we'd actually hauled everyone through the day without napping they were pretty tired and whiny. Rory, in fact, was half asleep on the couch.
Everyone else came to the table, french fries being a huge draw, But she refused. I'm tired, she yelled. I'm SLEEPING.
Fine–but not if it involves disrupting everyone's dinner…so Rob offered to carry her upstairs, and that's when the fun began. No no no, i not want to go to bed, no no no no no. Did she want to come to dinner? No no no no no. I don't want go upstairs, I no want diner, aaah, aaah, aahh.
I'm wishing we'd just let her on the couch–it wasn't that big a deal, when Rob shouts–she's just peed all over him, and the kitchen floor, and she is still screaming hysterically. No no no, not upstairs, no dinner.
Dinner is pretty much screwed, anyway…and we all know how I am when I cannot eat my dinner hot. Especially when I have worked for the last hour making it. I grab pajamas, clean her up, not particularly kindly, and am about to haul her up to bed when Rob intervenes. She can eat, he says–by now she wants dinner–if she helps him clean up. (I know, the orphan wiping up her own pee…I can see the DIckensian implications of the whole thing now, but at the time it seemed reasonable and we've done the same with Sam and Wyatt over and over again.)
She gives it what I see as a cursory swipe, tries to but the rags on the counter and then, when I tell her to throw them away–she's giggling, and I say it's not funny does so–and then goes, sits down at the table, and starts to eat my dinner.
I yell. Loudly. I take her away and tell her that's not the way it works, she doesn't get to go eat my dinner after all that…I am fierce. It's not pretty. She cries.
Rob helps her to clean up. I get her a plate. She eats, sniveling and hicupping, a huge plate of food, but she won't talk. Only the same Maa and grunts that we were getting hours after we picked her up. I feel awful. Awful.
After a while I apologize. She thought–I can see now–she's three, for god's sake–that she had cleaned up. And she probably thought, in spite of it not being at her place or on a kid's plate–that that was her dinner, or at least, she didn't think about it. And I yelled at her for it. So I tell her that. You thought you had cleaned up, and you thought this was your food, and I yelled at you. I was angry, and I'm sorry. I see a glimmer of understanding and get stony silence. A glare, even.
Well, at least I won't get fat from eating the tasty fries, right? Because I can't eat now.
Rob jollies her. He moves in slowly. While I clean up, and get the other kids settled, he approaches slowly, gets her giggling, finally laughing, and has her, as we always do, clear her place. Me, I just back off. I'm picturing a major setback–we're all she has, and I in particular have been a real rock for her, even when I don't want to be–and I have been horrible, scary, she will probably never forgive me. Would I have said the same to one of the three? Absolutely, but that's the thing. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I've just been nasty and scary again and again, and they just recover because this particular mommy is the one they're stuck with, and someday they will be telling tales of my manic rants in their EST groups.
But no–she's looking for me. She hides her face in my bed, and when I come, and hold my arms out, she giggles. She wants hugs. Can I take her to brush her teeth? Yes. Can I read her a book? Yes. Can I put her to bed? Yes, but only if I'll stay where she can see me while she falls asleep. We settle on the couch outside their room. and I read for five minutes–she's asleep right away.
Happy ending, I guess. More than happy–paradoxically, tonight may be the first time I've enjoyed her for her. Found the on-my-own toothbrushing cute. Been able to read to her, and see her find the pictures funny. Let her "read" to me and been charmed. That a baby. She cryin, she goin in crib. Letters, abc def (turn page) lmn op. I have always especially enjoyed one-on-one time with the kids, but so far I'd been reluctant–I just didn't want it with her. She seemed so needy, so unpredictable. What would we do? I didn't know her. I knew the others. Why not spend time with them, and just leave her as part of the pack for a while? Her need for me seemed weird and un-meetable. I couldn't exactly replace her foster mama. I almost couldn't see why her heart was open to even let me try. Plus, well, I suck on not enough sleep.
But when I thought it was gone–when I thought we were back to square one, or worse, that I'd lost what I hadn't even realized we'd built, or that I valued–well, then it was different. She's adjusting beautifully. She really is. She's doing more than meet us halfway, she's throwing herself into us, and I'm letting her do it, without giving the the help she needs. I hope tonight will change that, not just for tonight but going on. It's must a little bit of time, this. It really is.

My question is:
"If there was negative balance in my account on May 11th, then how could ATM of Bank of America allow me to withdraw cash on 12th Morning?"
What the Bank did is that they forged entry on 14th of May (Monday) stating that the check actually was received on 11th of May and returned the check on Monday May 14, but the money was already available on 12th. You can see the postings in detail below.
I AM LOOKING FOR A LAWYER as I want to sue the Bank for dishonest dealing which has adversely affected my credit score also because my Mortgage comapany shows me delinquent by one month.

#1 Consumer Comment
Additional Questions
AUTHOR: Edward - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 10, 2007POSTED: Friday, August 10, 2007
If you follow the sequence of transactions and balances, the mortgage check was not returned until the next business day, the 14th, and added back to the balance at that time - the very first transaction posted on that day, followed by the other transactions. If it's your accusation that you didn't see this as pending on the 11th or posted after Friday's processing, then this is unusual.
It could just be me, but I find it odd that a payroll direct deposit would be presented and made available on a Friday, or worse yet - Saturday, and not post until a Monday. If your paydays are every Friday or every other Friday, it's always been my experience that direct deposits are made available the day before and POSTED, the day of your actual payday. But if your paydays are different, this may not be unusual.
The reason the $20 withdrawal was allowed was because your "Available Balance" would have allowed it due to the pending payroll deposits, combined with the ATM deposit on the 12th, provided you made that deposit before the withdrawal.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Suggestion
NSF Fees posted after NSF came through
AUTHOR: Nikki - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007POSTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007
Most mortgage companies are now ACH debiting checks so if they put the debit through at 11:00 am, it posts at 11:00 am (or bounces at 11:00 am). No more posting after hours.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 Consumer Suggestion
Good luck...
AUTHOR: A Professional Home Inspector - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007POSTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007
This can vary from institution to institution. I think my bank limit is $800, but I am not sure as I have not had to deal with this yet. That would explain why the ATM withdrawal was allowed, but your check bounced. You can even withdraw with a negative balance with this from the ATM, but beware as a 30 dollar withdrawal will cost more in overdraft fees.
Now as far as your check presentation goes, in the eyes of the court, funds need to be available as of the date that the check was written or you will likely not have a case.
Do not rely on ATM balances on receipts, these may not reflect checks waiting to clear nor deposits on hold. Most banks have disclaimers to cover this. In light of that, it sounds and looks as if you went to the bank needing a few bucks to tide you over and relied on the ATM receipt balance. It also appears that funds were not available on the date that your mortgage payment check was written, therefore, it was a "bad" check when it was written and could be considered as fraudulent as such.
Lastly, your credit will not be affected unless you were already late on the mortgage before your payment that month, as they do not report until 30 days of arrears. So if you were already close to 30 days at the time the payment posted, then you have a problem. Also, one bad check will generally not affect credit badly, as we all make mistakes, but a string of them certainly will.
I suggest that you rely on your ledger balance in your checkbook and keep accurate records on all withdrawals and deposits using debit cards as they occur rather than rely on the bank to be a bookkeeper.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

It is on their web site but they are doing nothing to sell this. They contacted me after 8 months and wanted to know if I would drop my selling price and I did by $5000.00. and still nothing happened.
I was then contacted early 2008 and they wanted me to pay another $400.00 so they could auction it off on e-bay. I told them no and still have not sold my timeshare. So if this company contacts you please hang up the phone

Christmas starter recipes
Looking for a simple Christmas starters recipe to make this December? You've come to the right place! Make your Christmas dinner extra special by rustling up one of these quick and easy Christmas starters. We've got lots to choose from too including warming soups, festive favourites like canapes and we've got some delicious new recipes for you to try too. It's the one time of year to really go all out - so why not have starters with your Christmas dinner this year.
Top tips for Christmas starters
Not too big
We all know how much food there is on Christmas Day so the last thing you need is a massive starter. A small, delicate portion is more than enough - and it means you won't add to the Christmas food leftovers.
Not too filling
You don't want to spend all that time on Christmas dinner only for everyone to get
full on the starter. Heavy soups, rich tarts and chunky breads can often be more filling than they look so take that into consideration when planning your starter.
Not too complicated
You'll have so much going on on the big day, you don't want to add to your tasks by choosing a complicated starter. To make life easier, you could always opt for a starter that you can make in advance and keep in the fridge/freezer until you need it - you'll thank yourself later!
Just right
Small, not too filling and nice and simple, your Christmas starter should be a delicious addition to your meal. Save any you like the look of in a Christmas collection in your Recipe Book.

They caught me at work and I was in a hurry so I didn't think it through too much. When I thought about it later I got nervous because I know better than to just give out my information over the phone. I waited for my confirmation letter.
I recieved my letter and much to my dismay it was a catalog credit card! I called up customer service to tell them that I didn't want the card anymore. The pompous ***hole on the other end couldn't believe that I didn't want to do all my shopping through catalogs so he hung up on me!!! I called again later and the other man was really nice while he tried to convince me that using a credit card to buy get my son a haircut or buy gas was a horrible idea. Catalog shopping was definitly the way to go. When he finally realized that I really didn't want to catalog shop he became upset and told me that they were taking $35 from me whether I liked it or not and he hung up on me too!!!
In the end I talked to my credit union and they told me that there was nothing they could do except dispute it after they took my money. They are en excellent institution though who apologized and told me to let them know in the future about any calls like that before I agree to their terms.
I feel bad for the other people that I read about who ended up being taken for $300+ because it could've easily been me. These guys are merciless and they don't care who they rip off. Amazing, folks, really. I am a single mother who works hard at two jobs to support my family. They take advantage of people who want better things in their life by making false promises and then stealing their money. I am glad that I learned my lesson and got off cheap but I still worked hard for the money that they stole. I hope that someone reads this before they get ripped off by these scam artists. If I helped one person I will be glad. If there is any information on how to get our money back please post. Thanks for the time you took to read this.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Give me a break.....
AUTHOR: Hugh - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 11, 2006POSTED: Friday, August 11, 2006
I wonder why you have to go to such lengths to play an un-editable tape to people and make them verify on audio tape that they heard and understood the T's and C's? Perhaps because there have been problems with your type of companies in the past? Hmmmm.....
As far as allowing folks access to post here without having their claims checked first, it's a little concept called Freedom of Speech.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
On behalf or the company
AUTHOR: Ncfa - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 11, 2006POSTED: Friday, August 11, 2006
1. sales rep explains all information including all fee's to the consumer
2. Verification prerecorded message (done by 3rd party, which is UN-editable, UN-alterable) states all terms and condition, states that THIS IS NOT A VISA, MasterCard, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS OR ANY OTHER MAJOR BANK CARD, that this is a CATALOG CARD.
3. Verifier asks the consumer if everything was heard on pre-recorded message was CLEAR, UNDERSTANDABLE, WITH OUT ANY NOISES OR INTERRUPTIONS, and get's full authorization to debit the consumer.
4. another person in another location listens to EACH and EVERY recording before releasing it in a computer for debit.
HOW can any one claim that they have been ripped off?
Here is HOW: there are customers who are trying to get something for nothing, and there are customers that are NEVER happy, no matter what it is.
We maintain less then 1% of un-satified customers and there is nothing we can do to satisfy someone who is out to get something for nothing. PERIOD.
For example, check out complaints on the following companies. every one trusts them, they are blue chip companies.
that is only few to mention.. go a head and run your favorite national chain store or business that you are happily doing business with, buying products or services, and you will be surprised that most of them have un-happy customers.. people like you should say: SHAME ON YOU - RIP OFF REPORT FOR NOT VALIDATING ANY COMPLAINTS AND NOT TAKE THEM OFF THE SYSTEM WHEN THEY ARE FRIVOLOUS
Thank You

|Identification and Quantification of DNA Repair Protein Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE1) in Human Cells by Liquid Chromatography/Isotope-Dilution Tandem Mass Spectrometry
|July 29, 2013
|Unless repaired, DNA damage can drive mutagenesis or cell death. DNA repair proteins may therefore be used as biomarkers in disease detection or therapeutic response estimation. Thus, the accurate measurement of DNA repair protein expression is of fundamental importance. We describe a novel approach involving LC-MS/MS with isotope-dilution to positively identify and accurately quantify apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) in human cells and mouse tissue. An 15N-labeled full-length hAPE1 was produced and used as an internal standard. Fourteen tryptic peptides of both hAPE1 and 15N-hAPE1 were identified following trypsin digestion. APE1 was identified and quantified in nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts of multiple human cell lines and mouse liver using selected-reaction monitoring of mass transitions of tryptic peptides. The results describe a new method for accurate measurement of human APE1 in vivo and represent a critical step towards defining the role of this protein in disease processes and as a biomarker in various disorders, such as cancer.

The 'CEO' is listed as both Gregory Moser and as Tiffany Moser...who is it?!? Who do I contact about a number of instances where I have been shafted by these idiots for licenses that have been covered in full?
Why is it that when I attempt to contact them, I get a voicemail EVERY TIME?! Seems to me that there is not a single person there that has enough dignity or self respect to stand up and admit their wrong doing and attempt to rectify the situation at hand.
It took a chance coincidence of me walking into a bar to find Gregory Stephen Moser. He was obviously strung out on some sort of drug (and given his reaction at the sight of me, most probably on Meth) and was buried in a Video Poker machine at the time of our chance meeting. Undoubtedly shoveling the money others had paid him thinking that services and products were coming their way. [continued below]....
He did not address a single question I had and then proceeded to leave the premises...have not heard from him since or seen my licenses.
Point in case is that your company's hard earned money and YOUR hard earned money will only be used by Greg, Matt, Tiffany, etc. towards a number of various addictions it seems like...not towards your purchase.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Calling out Jim B
AUTHOR: Oregon City - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 13, 2013POSTED: Sunday, January 13, 2013
I'm amazed at the unsubstantiated garbage that you allow to be posted by supposed consumers. I personally know there are several stories on here from disgruntled contractors of a couple companies that are undeserving of this type of hyperbole being posted.
I imagine I know who "Jim B" really is and since there is no truth to the accusations I will not bother trying to defend the inane and downright classless statements made by Mr. B.
A wise man once said "If you're throwing dirt you're just losing ground... Zig Ziglar"
My old friend Chris Allman and I have now both been targeted by this type of slimy, anonymous, cowardly attack. Both of us are innocent of the allegations.
I personally challenge either of the cowardly authors to come into the light. Call me personally...Let's meet for coffee and discuss your issue. My phone number is clearly listed on my website.
Here it is again for all the world to see. Greg Moser 971-222-4866
Now Mr. B please take the items you stole, your sullied reputation, and your inability to sell and move to another career.
The fact that you targeted my wife with this fictional defamation proves you're not only a coward but not a gentlemen. I have no further use for you. Go away.
Please find yourself Mr. B...It's never too late to walk like a man. Remember to take credit for your mistakes...they are the only things you'll ever own that nobody will try to claim.
Best Regards,
Gregory Moser

Specializing in all your Commercial & Industrial Roofing needs. ie: Flat & Low Sloped Roofs, Single Plies, Built-Up, Modifieds, Pre-Finished, Standing Seam Metal, also TPO, PVC, & EPDM Systems..
A message from Larry (Chip) Johnson
In June of 1998, I formed Johnson Roofing Concepts, Inc. As sole owner, I am president and chief estimator. With an average of 20 employees, we specialize in all types of commercial and industrial roofing. Our company ranges from "old school" type systems to the latest in "single ply", and "green" systems. We have also expanded into "solar" related TPO and PVC technology.
I remain involved in every aspect of JRC on a daily basis, along with several long-term, loyal employees. Some have worked for me for more than 25 years. Our goals at JRC include providing relentless customer service, uncompromising quality, and attention to detail.
I have dedicated myself to creating a work environment that encourages and rewards hard work, integrity, and positive attitude. We strive to remain at the forefront of our industry through innovations in strategy and technology. A mission in establishing 100% customer service, I have grown Johnson Roofing Concepts from repeat business to negotiated and private structured bidding. Second and even third generation business owners still call on us today. Throughout the years, I have been able to build strong relationships with many architects, engineers, and consultants and to be recognized by our customers, distributors, and vendors as industry leaders for innovative techniques, offering "above and beyond" quality and performance.
Some of the awards we have received include: Local Business of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, along with various Gold and Platinum Awards from our Product Manufacturers and Representatives.
In closing, I started this business with only $6,000 and a primitive canopy as a warehouse. Johnson Roofing Concepts has evolved into a pinnacle company that has been very fortunate.
Thank you for your consideration.
Larry (Chip) Johnson

Today, I was so hungry when I finished work that I grabbed some chips to eat on the bus home. The guy who sat next to me spat in them as he left to get off. FML

5 most memorable movies about greed
Published: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 10:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 10:11 a.m.
LOS ANGELES — "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good," Gordon Gekko famously assured us. "Greed is right. Greed works."
Greed can also make for memorable films in which characters want, need, desire, and will do whatever it takes to have it all. Sometimes they get in over their heads in their schemes — which always makes things juicier — as we see in this week's new release "Middle Men." Inspired by the true story of the origin of Internet porn, it's basically about a couple of guys who wanted to make a ton of money to buy more cocaine and hang out with gorgeous women at exclusive parties. Sounds reasonable.
Here are five other movies that should satisfy your desire for more-more-more:
"Wall Street" (1987): Well, of course, where else would we start? Oliver Stone's classic epitomized the conspicuous-consumption mentality of the 1980s and provided Michael Douglas with one of his best-known characters and best-known lines. (People always get it wrong, though. Corporate raider Gordon Gekko never actually says "Greed is good" verbatim.) It also earned Douglas a best-actor Oscar, but truly, the slicked-back 'do alone could have sealed the award for him. And it's still relevant: The sequel, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," is scheduled to hit theaters next month, starring Shia LaBeouf and featuring Douglas once more as Gekko, albeit with far less hair product.
"Citizen Kane" (1941): Who better personified the drive for bigger and better and more stuff than Charles Foster Kane? Just take a look at Xanadu, the palatial estate crammed with all the crap the millionaire newspaper tycoon amassed. He rose from poverty and began his career as an idealist, but Kane's desire for more newspapers, power and influence became all-consuming, until he died alone and shrouded in mystery. It's the archetypal rise-and-fall story, and the larger-than-life persona of director, co-writer and star Orson Welles, both on screen and in real life, added to the intrigue. Plus, you know, it's largely considered the greatest film ever made. No biggie.
"Fargo" (1996): One of the absolute best from Joel and Ethan Coen, it won two Academy Awards: for the brothers' original screenplay and for best-actress Frances McDormand as the plucky, persistent and extremely pregnant small-town sheriff Marge Gunderson. But the greed part comes from an inept scheme by car salesman Jerry Lundegaard, played by the tremendous William H. Macy, who arranges to have his wife kidnapped to collect the ransom. This does not go as planned. Darkly funny and starkly photographed by the great cinematographer Roger Deakins, "Fargo" is a film you can watch repeatedly and see something new each time. You betcha.
"A Simple Plan" (1998): Similar aesthetically to "Fargo," with its beautifully bleak winter landscape and Minnesota setting. But whereas that was a neo-noir, this is an emotionally complex family drama — a great example of people who aren't as smart as they think they are getting into more trouble than they ever could have imagined. Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton are equally excellent as brothers who discover $4 million in cash in a downed airplane. What should be a simple plan for the money ends up being anything but when greed and paranoia take hold. Director Sam Raimi ratchets up the tension as his characters make one bad decision, which leads to another, which leads to another ...
"Scarface" (1983): We're going with the Brian De Palma version, not the 1932 Howard Hawks original, just because it's more fun. Admit it: You stop and watch it every time it's on while you're flipping channels. It's such a guilty pleasure it's irresistible — the clothes, the cars, the coke, that house with the giant, sunken bathtub and of course, the notoriously over-the-top performance from Al Pacino as drug lord Tony Montana. Like "Wall Street," it's an emblem of 1980s' wretched excess. After all, Tony is told that the world is his, so why shouldn't he want it all? Or as he so eloquently puts it: "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."
