Hello. This is my first attempt at running a PbP campaign. I know that Kingmaker is a very popular adventure path at the moment and I want to give more players a chance to try it out. It's a great path and for those who have not played it yet so I hope I can do it justice here. I will choose 4-6 players with 2 replacements.
Creation Deadline: Friday, June 1st, 12:00 Noon PST
Selections Published: Saturday afternoon after review
Build Rule
Material: NO THIRD PARTY. Paizo material only
Ability Scores: 20 Point buy
Races: Core. Possible consideration of others.
Class restrictions: No Gunslinger
Traits: Three total. Two + one Kingmaker trait from the Kingmaker Player's Guide.
Books: Core, APG, UC, and UM.
Average starting gold from each class. I will not be accepting any evil characters.
Application requirements:
Character concept: I do not need a long detailed history of your player. I would like a paragraph or two of your character concept, personality and background. Please add why your character wishes to be part of this group taking control of the Stolen Lands.
Posting: Being active for me will not be a probelm. I do not wish to close this due to inactivity of the players. If you cannot post at least one time a day I will give you a notice and wait two days before choosing one of the replacements.
A well balanced party is not required so do not worry about posting a character based off the needs of others. I will be choosing characters that will I beileve will intereact well together and belief of who the Swordlords of Restov would have chosen.

Character Concept. an Earl's Errant "Cursed" neice who seeks a cure for her supernatural seemingly incurable terminal illness. many clerics have failed, but she seeks leads towards what alchemists call the "Shard of Thassilon." a rare flower that supposedly, when the petals are brewed into a tea and the tea is consumed, cures any ailment.
Role; Face, Secondary Healer, Scout, Buffer,
physical description, a small framed young woman standing 5 feet tall, with ankle length black hair she wears in a pair of twintails and velvet textured crimson eyes. her skin, despite being unnaturally soft and smooth is pale as that of a ghost. appearing drained of color. her fancy monochrome ankle length dress is loose and longsleeved with many petticoats, mostly black with a white undershirt and a black tie. on her feet are a pair of black buckle on shoes and on her legs are a black pair of thighlength leggings protruding between the bottom of her dress and the top of her shoes. her small frame appears sickly and frail and she almost looks like a living china doll about to snap at any moment.

Definitely some great character concepts already.
Alan: I love the concept and liked that you added relations. I like knowing enough background because I like adding a bit into the story. You can also choose another standard trait if you wish.
Neo: I can't wait to hear more about your concept.
Lunas: Interesting concept but I would like to know a bit more about her backstory. I also do not like the fact that she is a Fetchling and would prefer that you chose another race.
Garvok:He is very interesting but I did set in my first post that I did not want any evil characters.
Russell I'll let you know when I have some questions.
|Garvok Kain
Can't wait to see it.
Thank you. I'll keep a eye on it.
Don't fret. I enjoy longer backgrounds. I wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about his personality but other then that it looks good.
Well, I'm off for the the night. If you have any questions please let me know. Characters are looking great so far.

Lunas: Interesting concept but I would like to know a bit more about her backstory. I also do not like the fact that she is a Fetchling and would prefer that you chose another race.
the reason i went with a fetchling was to represent her shadowtouched taint. i updated her profile a bit and added a list of mansion connections. the race hinted at shadowtouched taint and is intended as part of her "Curse". she just wouldn't feel the same if she were a stock human or whatever.
edit; about her backstory. i added a section about her daily pre adventuring life of sneaking out to pick up gossip. she loves learning, especially about others. has a taste for the exotic, and enjoys honey because it helps her unhealthy drawback of frequently coughing up blood at inconvenient moments. her preffered performances are dance, poetry, and storytelling. like any noble, she appreciates fine art and colorful scenery.

I'll give it a shot. Submitting Kridor the Red for your approval. Let me know if any adjustments are required to qualify.

Narkari, if you're worried about Umbriere being a Fetchling because it would make her more powerful than those of use choosing a base race (Fetchling being a 14 racial point race while human, elf, dwarf ect are 10 rp) might I suggest letting her trade her two non campaign traits for the race? That's the trade off a DM of mine let me do to play a tiefling in his campaign, and it should roughly cover the power discrepancy.

Reiterating my character concept and stating my interest in the new thread: I would like to play a human Bladebound magus with the Sword Scion trait. I will have a full concept and backstory posted just as soon as I make it with an alias.
Just a reminder that the trait does not grant proficiency with the weapon!
Want to register my interest here, always loved Kingmaker, though as I was preparingto run it at one point I do have some knowledge of the first three or four books. Will try and avoid letting that affect me however.
Only just found this thread, so have yet to actually work up a character, but wanted to see whether my concept would be okay with you. Basically, I would like the play the upcoming Treesinger Druid archetype (Elf racial Archetype) from Advanced Race Guide. I know it's not quite out yet, but it's currently sitting in my sidecart, and I will have the PDF for it by the 15th of June. If that is okay with you then I will stat up a core elf druid with the Treant companion, and can change to the treesinger archetype once that is released.
If that's okay then I'll have a writeup for you in approx 12 hours.

Ranzo is the forth son of one of the minor nobles of the Lebeda house. His family prides itself as one of giving the most service back to the Kingdom. Ranzo grew up well outside the effect of the house seat at Silverhall, not learning interhouse politics. As a child, he and several other children gathered together, hunted and killed a young bear that had killed a friend's dog. Ranzo keep the skull that was given to him by the children as a prize to this day. His family was mad but proud at the same time. The family business came easy to him, learning from his father and uncles. He always knew that he was destined to become a solider in the Kingdoms military, then taking that back and teaching the new generation of his house. When he was seventeen, he was given a direct commission as a junior officer in the heavy infantry. He served the way he that he was taught by his family; leading from the front during the fighting and watching and protecting his troops back in peace. After four years and one promotion, Ranzo became disillusioned with the senior officer corp. He was putting together bits of conversations and some orders that the troopers are only numbers and don't care if they live or die as long as the goal is reached. He hoped it was a singular occurrence, received a transfer to another unit (engineering and siege), and saw it was worse there, because he was closer to the headquarters.
At the end of his term he did not re-enlist, he said it because his Mother died and went back home. His father, Vessy von Lebeda was still emotional over the death of his wife, Elsignor. He only seemed to spit acid at his son who he thought wasted his opportunity. His two uncles, Klagas and Rothswater did their best to shield Ranzo from this, but ultimately failed.
He gathered his possessions and moved East. He worked a year as a caravan guard, bouncer and bodyguard for a year. He felt that he was spinning his wheels and heard of the advertisement for the Shattered lands and directly applied.
Ranzo is looking for a group of people that he can think on like family, he misses his, but feels it is inappropriate at this time to go home. He wants to make it on his own instead of being given a job by his father. He falls in easier with other swordsmen, taking more time with magic slingers. He will never betray anyone that is at least a travelling companion, it is not his way. Commanding troops comes easy to him and will take over that role without thinking. He hopes this is the first step to making something more out of his life.
Good Friend: Current military officer, Renault Youngs; a peer of his during his military service, the type of friend he would drop everything for.
Friend: Daughter of a large Inn and provision store, Onora Ui'Rauirc, a brown haired busty woman that he has dated before and wants to again.
Acquaintance: Kelvach Mivoric, factor for a caravan company, organizes guards and security for same.
See me fail: My Father, he has softened during the last year and wants me to come home, he has a job for me.
See me dead: Anton Surtova, a Baron's son surviving on his fathers' financial allotment, supposedly going to school. I kicked him out of the bar, broke his nose and insulted him all at the same time.

So not to be selfish, but as I'm the one who originally posted this, I expect to be selected. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just seems like a pretty fair expectation to have given the circumstances.
That being said, I present Quentin Lovelace, Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean.
Quentin, though...never really seemed to have any definable interest that could be turned towards a good honest professions, much to his stern father's chagrin. He seemed more adept at finding ways to escape his tutor and slack off than anything else, shirking his duties as often as possible to slip away to the local "temple" of Caiden Caylean.
Not that Quentin was particularly devout, far from it. The "temple" - a festhall, really - simply was the most interesting place he could think of to be. The colorful dress of the revelers and exciting stories they would tell of exotic adventures seemed to be the main draw, and given the nature of the temples faithful, there was hardly ever a lack of them.
Fortunately, one of the friars there saw too it that the young rogue never got in -too- much trouble, even threatening the boy with a report to his parents if he felt a particular "adventure" with some of the other boys he met at the tavern would land the youngster in -too- much trouble.
Friar Nigel, as he was called, guided the boy's adventuresome spirit as best he could, but his father still didn't approve of his lack of focus. In his late teens, one particular bout of harsh words with his father ended with the observation by his father that, "for all the time you spend there, you'd think you were a friar yourself!"
Though it didn't seem much to Quentin at the time, the more he thought about it in the following days, the more spreading the folk wisdom of Cayden Caylean he'd learned over the years - all of which fit onto a single scroll, fortunately - didn't seem like such a bad idea. After all, wasn't that was friars did? Adventure, fight monsters, and meet women - all as a holy mission!
So it was that Quentin joined the church of Cayden Caylean as formally as is possible. Under the further tutelage of Friar Nigel and some of the cit's other brothers, he quickly found that the life of a cleric, even that of Cayden Caylean, wasn't as exciting as he thought it might be.
Quentin also wasn't the most faithful youngster at the "abbey," sometimes finding ways to shirk prayer time and other less glamorous duties when he could get away with it. Spending time goofing off, even though he had voluntarily dedicated himself to Cayden Caylean's service, seemed to persist into his apprenticeship. He seemed to always be one of most well-informed brothers in the abbey, spending as much time carousing with ne'er-do-wells as he did actually performing his duties.
Friar Nigel saw the boy's talents could be put to use in Cayden Caylean's service in ways that might suit him better - and so he was made one of the very, very few Inquisitors of the church of Cayden Caylean. When things needed finding out or something dangerous was rumored to be going on, Quentin was there to ferret it out. Mostly mundane dangers such as intrigues amongst the other churches or local guilds, but as his years in service grew, some church elders saw his quick mind suited for something darker - the recognition of the Demonic and its influence in society. Schooled as well as he could be about most things Infernal and other related studies, he has found himself in an interesting position, having received a Letter of Marque delivered to him by the Church of Cayden Cailean. Apparently the need of the Rostland nobility for those skilled at diplomacy, treachery, and arms meets quite neatly with the desire of the Church to root out cults of varying sorts in the Stolen Lands - which has until now been unfeasible. But with a group of equally skilled adventurers being sent south, the chance to establish the faith, root out heretics, and root the interests of the Church in the founding of a new kingdom is too great to pass up, and Quentin has been chosen for the task.
While generally quite talkative and friendly, Quentin's familiarity with disguise goes beyond the applying of an eyepatch or fake mustache; keenly in control of his emotions and body language when the situation warrants it.
Quentin has no "average" outfit - never too far from his trusty traveling trunk, his myriad collection of clothing allows for outfits that are suited to the task at hand, from impressing the local gentry in finery to skulking in shadows as a pickpocket.

The Aldori dueling sword can be used without the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, in which case, it functions exactly like a longsword with a different name.
And a sincere good luck to infoweasel.
|Umbriere Lunas
the race point system is flawed.
here is what the fetchling gets
+2 Dex/Cha -2 wis. not too bad
Shadow resistances; these 2 types aren't as common as fire
Shadow blending; this can be negated by either having darkvision or casting a light spell.
Disuise Self 1/day (flsvor)
Dsrkvision 60
Low Light Vision
+2 to stealth and knowledge (planes) skill bonuses are overpriced
Later abilities i am willing to drop if RP cost is truly an issue
Plane Shift (gained at 13th) 1/day
Shadow Walk (gained at 9th) 1/day
I suppose I should not be surprised with the activity while I have been gone. Where to get started?
Thank you for changing you alignment and the suggestion.
Thank you for adding more to you background. I may ask you later to give up something in exchange for your race as Garvok suggested but will think on it a bit more.
Thank you. Gave me everything I asked for. You may take one more trait if you wish since you only have two listed.
Thank you for updating.
Another very engaging concept. Thank you for submitting. I noticed he had four feats instead of three and am curious if this is a mistake or am I missing something that grants you another feat.
I do find the concept very entertaining to play with so I will give the ok for you to try it out. I hope to see the build soon.
Another great character. Gave me everything and I can't find a problem with it. Thank you!
Thank you and he is definitely up for consideration.
You may expect whatever you wish. I will not make any promises. I consider it fair to judge everyone while those that gave me a idea get extra consideration. Quentin may also take more traits.
Thank you for submiting. Looked good.
Last but not least. Bridgette looks great. Gave me everything I wanted and more. May also select one more trait.
|Umbriere Lunas

Shadow Walk (gained at 9th) 1/day
these 2 abiltiies make up the bulk of my Race Points.
maybe turn resist 5 cold and electricity into +2 on saves made against those energy types.
i could also make a gentlemens agreement not to minmax her excellency to the hilt.

No problem, it's from the "Heirloom Weapon" trait. Since it's been errata'd, I chose the first option, which is proficiency with a chosen weapon. Since I get a sword from the trait "Sword Scion" I would be interested to know if you'd allow the the benefits of the original text minus the masterwork sword.
passed down from generation to generation in your
family. This heirloom weapon is of masterwork quality
(but you pay only the standard cost at character creation).
You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with this specific
weapon and are considered proficient with that specific
weapon (but not other weapons of that type) even if you
do not have the required proficiencies.
edit: Actually, scratch that. Trait bonuses don't stack. If I were able to gain the original benefits of the trait, instead of Sword Scion I'd take Noble Born (Surtova), but i'm pleased with things as they are if not.

I suppose that's as good as I could hope for given that I'm not DM'ing. Thanks.
Also in regards to poison crafting. Looking at this guide and this Paizo PF message borad thread, making poison takes a long time and is pretty expensive. I was wondering, in regards to those poisons made from natural components - e.g. blue whinnis, terinav root, hemlock and such - could one not bypass or reduce the need to 'pay' for components by using Survival to go out and find them? Or maybe Knowledge (Nature)?
Just asking as I'm trying to balance his budget and starting off with some poison darts for his blowgun would be great, assuming that he would have had the time to go looking for the necessary ingredients and such.
In regards to the first link above, I was actually looking for something almost exactly the listed 'knock-out' poison. Not trying to kill people, just effectively make some tranq darts.
Finally, traits have been added.
Umbriere: For now don't worry about it. It's not that powerful of a race and if its shown to powerful in game if your chosen we can handle it at another time.
Sade:Ah. I see that now. One giving you the proficiency to use it while the other gives a bonus. As long as we agree you only have one sword I see no problem with taking both. They don't give the same bonuses.
Arumil: It was fine. I enjoy reading more about the character but it is not mandatory.
infoweasel: It would be a high knowledge nature check I would have you roll before we started playing. Then the necessary alchemy and a chance that you were hit by the poison yourself. It certainly may be possible for your character but they would have to succeed on a few high rolls first and take the chance they might be suffering from poison in the beginning of the game. Honestly, I think he may be a bit too low in level for finding and using poison and if chosen he might just find some later down the road.

I've added more background info to my character if you like that kind of stuff. A lot of it is specific to Inner Sea Guide, Inner Sea Primer, and Campaign Setting, so it can be as engaging as you'd like to make it (I would love for any of this stuff to come in as plot hooks if the opportunity arises)!
As for the deadline, I think that's a good idea. I can understand how it could get overwhelming. I'm busy mornings and free in the early afternoons so that type of schedule works for me.
@Endrance re: Arcane Strike:
Arcane Strike cannot be 'always on.' Is only last for 1 minute, requires a swift action to activate, and can only be used for as many minutes per day as you have Arcane Pool points. So in your case, 4 minutes (40 rounds @ 10 rounds / use) per day.
Just pointing that out as I just spent a decent amount of time playing a Magus in a live PF game.
The Arcane Strike feat: As a swift action, you can imbue your weapons with a fraction of your power. For 1 round, your weapons deal +1 damage and are treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. For every five caster levels you possess, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
I think you believe he is talking about the Arcane pool the Magus is granted. Both are two different abilities. As long as he doesn't use any more swift actions he can use it every round.
Sade & Arumil: Thank you for adding more. I love having more info.
|Arumil Amaim
Added a little more to my background. As for posting I can post most of the time. Once a day is no problem or a few times a day etheir. Making a spoiler with my guy's goals, doubt even at the end of Kingmaker that he would be half done. Still enjoy. ;D
Thought I would let you know what this character seeks to do in Kingmaker. He wants to reclaim any elven relics/ruins/treasures/etc etc. Also create a settlement for all elves the forlorn most of all. Create friendly relationships with the rest of the world and break his race's isolation policy. As well as recreate or restore the portal network of the elf gates, only among friendly allies anyways.
|Alendiri Faladiir
Alright Narkari, Peanuts here, and here is my Druid, hope you like him :) Haven't statted the Companion up yet, but can do that relatively simply, just have to do it by hand rather than Hero Labs :p
Hmm, I'm surprised I'm the only one who seems to have submitted a druid for this wilderness heavy AP. Not even any Rangers either.
|Edward Sobel
I would like to submit my character idea / backstory.
I apologize for the length.
this is only the background story character sheet will follow once I had a chance to flesh it out a bit.
concept will be a Human Druid Eagle Shaman.
I need to create his own tribe and I stole a bit of a character concept from the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting I originally created this character for back in 3.0 days.
Arcadia, the mysterious continent, lies across the Arcadian sea. A place of mystery and wonder; Centuries ago Ulfen settlers called Arcadia their new home, until the natives took offence to their presence and nearly drove them from their home.
The native tribes called skraelings by the Ulfen settlers were considered savage and ruthless. But this I can tell you is not entirely true.
I am White Eagle, son of Ten Bears, and I am a skraeling. Though I was not born on the land my ancestors once called home My Father and I have held to the teachings passed down to us by my father's father and his father before him. I am of the Defohy tribe, Nomads always moving with the changing seasons making our home in the plains of Arcadia in places where our horses may graze and the fish are abundant.
The Defohy depended on the land for their survival. The earth and rivers provided roots and berries, fish and game. Farming and land ownership were foreign to the Defohy. They believed (and still do today) the earth was not to be disturbed by hoe and plow. The land was their home, not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Chief Yellow Wolf, a relative of Chief Ten Bears said, "We were always here. The Great Spirit placed us on this land of ours."
Many miles south of the Ulfen settlement others from your world also journeyed to Arcadia. Settlers, seeking trees, animals and metals came to our home. These settlers moved into land we have journeyed to for countless generations. We sought to make peace with the newcomers and many of them welcomed us. We showed the settlers how to farm the soil in Arcadia and where to hunt good food. The Ulfen were friends. My people called all who came to our land as Ulfen as we had no concept of the different races of other lands. To us what you call elf was called spirit beings that were as mysterious to us as our home is to you.
Not all settlers who came to our home were friend. Bad Ulfen, I have learned were called Cheliax in your tongue, came to take gold from the hills and mountains of Arcadia. They enslaved many skraeling to dig the gold from the earth.
My ancestors became scattered and many were sent on ships to Cheliax home. Among them was my grandfather Chief Charlo, whose wife was with child. My father was the first of the skraelings to be born on this new world.
My father was strong and it is said that he had the strength of a bear and would do the work of ten men and so was given the name Ten Bears. Ten Bears was a slave like all the skraelings brought over to Cheliax.
However the Great Spirit saw what was happening to the people of Arcadia and took pity on them. Many skraelings were freed when guardians of freedom who bore the sign of the eagle freed our people.
Ten Bears lead a small group of Defohy north until we found land to call home in what is called Restov Plains. There. Our people prospered living peacefully on the plains and many new Defohy were born.
Ten Bears took a wife and bore a son, White Eagle.
For many years my people lived freely on the Rostov plains, trading goods with the settlements in this new land. My brother, Swift Elk, would lead hunting parties and trade furs with other Ulfen hunters and trappers.
Soon though Cheliax warriors would try and destroy the peace my people have created. (Note Cheliax is the name given to all human bandits, brigands, or other unsavory types, including warlords). Many disguised as Defohy attacked and scalped local Brevoy villagers.
Trust of the local villages and settlements was beginning to deteriorate. Ten Bears journeyed to the Ulfen city of Restov to plead the case of our people.
The Mayor agreed to a treaty with Ten Bears. The Defohy people would provide one of their own and explore the place called the Stolen Lands and there the Defohy could go and make a new home. And in return the people of Restov would assist and help protect the Defohy people.
During this time White Eagle had recently returned from his journey of the Wyakin to receive his guardian spirit. White Eagle had a vision while alone that he would be a great leader of his people guiding them to new lands and better hunting grounds. White Eagle was to go to fulfill Ten Bears promise to the Chief of Restov.
The Defohy have a strong belief in dreams and visions. Young boys and girls went alone to remote places hoping to receive knowledge of a personal guardian spirit. This personal WYAKIN would warn them of danger and give them special powers. In all phases of daily life, the Defohy thought of the spirits of forces and objects around them as supernatural WYAKIN
If there any Kingdoms of Kalamar fans out there I can send them the original story for that game world setting. (totally different than what is posted here.
|Sade Aquino IV
Thank you for your help, infoweasel. As Narkari pointed out, you were mistaken, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it. I'm still new to PF and I make mistakes all the time, so I'm always grateful to have outside people checking out my sheets and giving me feedback.
Hmm, I'm surprised I'm the only one who seems to have submitted a druid for this wilderness heavy AP. Not even any Rangers either.
Huh. You're right. That is pretty surprising. I would have rolled a ranger for this game, but I'm already playing an Urban Ranger in a Council of Thieves game that just started.
Druids are fun, but I wanted to be Lawful Good. The swordlord concept just called to me for this game.
Best of luck, hope you get picked.

Comments about this product:
I love the shirt. I'm a stay at home mom and 98% of the time, am in a T-shirt and jeans or shorts. My only complaint is that the shirt is not soft and feels "heavy". Summer is the South is humid! I ordered a men's shirt, because I haven't lost all my baby weight and most women's shirts are tailored. I ordered an xl women's shirt from the Tide Loads of Hope charity and it's smaller than some of my older medium t-shirts! Overall, I loved the shirt and will order again. Thank you NBC for such a wonderful show!

For the past few days, crews have working to expose a hidden hazard along Sierra Drive in Kaimuki.
Motorists may not have known how unstable the hillside is, since it was hidden by thick vegetation.
On Wednesday, crews worked to loosen rock and remove an overgrown banyan tree to get them access to the area that needs to be scaled back.
The plan calls for crews to cut four feet into the hillside. The area will then be stabilized using netting, pins, and concrete to make sure nothing else comes down.
"We have to do whatever it takes to stabilize the hillside," said Chris Takashige, director of the Department of Design and Construction.
The city has actually spent the last decade surveying areas around the island that threaten public safety and public property and only last month finalized its list.
It has completed one project -- a dangerous drive in Pupukea.
A second phase in the same neighborhood is about to get under way.
Next on the list is a section in urban Honolulu.
"We have Punchbowl and Prospect next on the list, so as money becomes available we have begun to work on them," Takeshige said.
Preliminary work is also underway for two areas on Round Top Drive.
In the meantime, the Kaimuki project could last until April.
The priority list was drawn up based on the angle of the slope and impact on public safety.
"Most of them are privately owned. Our intent is to take care of the ones that are city property and make our way down the list," Takeshige said.
The strategy is to correct the hidden hazards now, to avoid more expensive payouts later.
The city does not yet have a way to notify private homeowners that their property may be on the list.
The list includes Alencastre and Dole Streets in the St Louis Heights area, as well as Pacific Heights, Salt Lake Drive, and Nuuanu-Pali Drive in town.
Lilipuna Road, Kuuna Street, Apoluka and Akiohala Street round out the top of the list.

Ohio Northern University President Daniel A. DiBiasio announced that Steven J.

Devimahatmya Manuscript with Two Covers, 12th-17th centuryNepal, 1100-1699

The Devimahatmya is a Hindu religious text that describes the victory of the goddess Durga over the bull-demon Mahishasura. The text explains that several male gods endowed Durga with their powers so that she could destroy Mahishasura who threatened to annihilate the world. The following four pages come from a 12th century Nepalese example of this text.
Early South and Southeast Asian manuscripts were produced on palm leaves whereby leaves from the palm tree are cut to a uniform rectangular size, soaked in an herbal mixture to provide protection against insect damage, dried, and then inscribed with text. Such manuscripts varied in size as demonstrated by the wooden book cover to the right, which once protected palm leaf pages from a larger manuscript.

Don't be silent about school billsMay 19,2014Don't be silent
about school bills
As the Vermont Legislature and Governor Shumlin move to eliminate school boards, ban independent schools and severely limit school choice, parents and taxpayers will look for other options. The intolerable acts of the most recent Legislature will further centralize bureaucracy, increase education costs, eliminate accountability and diminish the parents' voice in their children's future. The stakeholders in our local schools will be silenced.
The elimination of local school boards is taxation without representation. The new marching orders from Montpelier are "Send us your children, send us your money and shut up." What are the parents and taxpayers of Vermont to do? One of the instinctual needs for the human species is freedom. Freedom involves a voice in your future and it involves choices. As our taxes continue to be increased, our voices silenced and our choices eliminated, people will seek alternatives.
Home-schooling is one of those alternatives, at least until the Legislature bans that. Packing up and moving is another choice already being exercised by many of our friends and neighbors. There is another choice. This choice has not been banned yet. It is your choice to vote. Register at your local town office, volunteer for a campaign or even run for office to unseat the legislators and senators that are pushing this anti-liberty agenda.
Sitting on the couch and complaining about your tax bill, watching your money and your precious freedom being flushed down the toilet is also choice. Please do not make this choice. We need new folks in the Legislature that will respect the rights of the people and give us all some cover to tend to our own affairs.

For the third annual competition, there are 15 finalists competing for the top prize of a three-song recording session, a guest performance on the Domingo Live! TV show as well as a trophy for first, second and third place.
The event will be held at the annual Fusion Music Fest at the Bee County Expo Center on Saturday, July 13, starting at 3:30 p.m..
For the first time, the competition was opened up to all the surrounding counties as well as Bee County residents, which caused a surge in responses.
"We got a lot of singers from Karnes City, Refugio and Orange Grove, but the majority were from here," Robert Cisneros, the founder of Fusion Music Fest, said.
More than 25 teens auditioned over the course of the two-day trials, which caused a change in the rules a bit.
Cisneros said, "We had a great turnout, the most we've ever had, so I figured we'd open it up to 15 finalists instead of just 10."
During the Fusion Music Fest, a panel of judges will score each of the contestants on their pitch, vocal range and originality.
The 15 finalists will then be whittled down to five and will perform another song before the judges. The best three will reign supreme.
This year, the Fusion Music Fest will feature Robert Perez, Grupo Fusion and youngsters Elora and Gasoline Alley from San Antonio. Elora is actually only 14 years old and, along with being a performer, has published a children's book, Making of a Kid's Band.
The night will be brought to an end by the Loz Fleaz, who are described by Cisneros as a "high-energy show band ready to entertain the crowd."
There will also be a guest appearance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who will be available for pictures as well as singing and dancing with the kids.
And if you want to get a sneak peek of all the contestants, they'll be on the Domingo Live! show this Sunday, June 30.
Vendor spots are also still available for a limited time and can be reserved by calling Robert Cisneros at (361) 319-0864 or emailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is in this article?:
- Senate immigration reform plan has agriculture backing
- Questions linger
- The politics
- Senate introduces immigration reform legislation.
- The Agriculture Workforce Coalition backs proposals as positive, necessary for U.S. farmers.
- The United Farm Workers Union on board.
- The USDA would be chief administrator of new worker program.
Having been a driving force behind the Senate's earlier introduction of immigration reform, on Wednesday afternoon (April 17) a broad coalition of agricultural interests convened to explain and back the legislation. Adding to the Agriculture Workforce Coalition's muscle was the participation of the United Farm Workers Union (under the AFL-CIO umbrella), which supports the Senate bill. Companion legislation is yet to be introduced in the House.
Some 11 million undocumented workers currently reside in the United States.Asked how many of those are working in agriculture, "the estimates are between 50,000 and 70,000 workers are in this country under (the H2-A visa program)," said Chuck Conner, president and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. "We've described that as a very difficult, cumbersome program that producers are not using. Therefore, this bill does phase us away from H2-A very, very rapidly. It would be replaced with the new, negotiated guest worker program."
"My understanding is there are approximately two million farm workers in the country," said Tom Nassif, president and CEO of the Western Growers Association."Approximately 1.2 million are here working under false documents."
Among the key agriculture-specific parts of the bill:
- The USDA would administer the new program and farmers wanting to hire non-U.S. citizens would register annually with the Farm Service Agency.
- For the program's first four years, just over 112,000 annual agricultural guest worker visas would be issued. Under an "emergency authority" the Secretary of Agriculture would be able to tweak that number based on worker shortages. Beginning in year five, the secretary would be the one to actually set a cap.
- Workers would be paid a standard wage based on the job they hold.
- The new agricultural guest worker program would contain two options: "at will" and "contract based."
The at will option would allow workers -- who would be provided lodging or a housing stipend from authorized employers -- to work a specific job under a three-year visa. The workers would be able to move jobs between authorized employers.
The contract-based option, also under a three year visa, would allow workers to enter the country for a specific job under contract. Again, housing would be provided by the employer.
- Eligibility for a "Blue Card" would be extended to undocumented workers currently in the United States.
The card would be available to those who can prove they have worked in agriculture for 100 days between 2011 and the end of 2012. The worker would then be required to pay fines, make sure back taxes are paid, keep a clean law enforcement record and wait a minimum of five years before becoming eligible for a Green Card.
Conner was unable to provide the number of workers who would be eligible for a Blue Card.
There are great concerns about the introduction of the program at a time of high U.S. unemployment. What happens if current undocumented agriculture workers pursue other occupations and compete for jobs with U.S. citizens? Will legalization of the current workforce result in higher agricultural wages?
"The reason most of our workers still work in agriculture is because they're being treated fairly," said Tom Stenzel, president and CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association."There are many laws – state and federal – that protect the farm workers. Some of them are unionized and protected by unions like the United Farm Workers (Union).
"We have negotiated specific wages for the new visa holders for various job categories in agriculture. Obviously, that will always have an impact on U.S. workers and on 'Blue Card' workers, also."
The agreement that was negotiated, said president of United Farm Workers Arturo Rodriguez, "will definitely provide farm workers in this nation with a sense of security, as well as the employers. They'll have professional, skilled workers to continue working for them.
"It does provide opportunities for workers to improve their situations if they decide to do so. It's their decision.
"I'd further emphasize, we feel very good about the agreement we reached for the employers. It took a lot of discussion, a lot of debate over the last few weeks and months. We're very comfortable with what's been arrived at, at this point."
Conner agreed. "It's a balanced agreement. Much of the discussions came down to wages and the cap on the number of workers that come through the guest worker program."

BUMS evacuated after bomb threat
A "possible emergency situation" around 12:15 p.m. Friday prompted the evacuation of Buckhannon-Upshur Middle School.
Upshur County Board of Education Assistant Superintendent David Dilly said all of the students were safely transported to the high school. He later confirmed the emergency to be a bomb threat.
The students were sent to the high school as "a precautionary measure," Dilly said, while law enforcement officers searched the middle school grounds and buildings. The school was found to be free of any hazards, Dilly said.
The investigation into the origin of the threat is continuing, he added.
"I wish to thank the students, staff, law enforcement and parents for their calm cooperation during this situation," Dilly said in a prepared statement.
Friday's incident is the latest in a string of events that have forced schools to be cleared. In March, bomb-sniffing dogs and law enforcement were kept busy in Barbour County as bomb threats were investigated at Belington and Philippi middle schools and Philippi Elementary School. In September, all Barbour County schools were evacuated after officials were alerted to a possible bomb threat.
Lewis County High School in March was the target of a bomb threat, though the juvenile behind the incident was quickly caught by the school's Prevention Resource Officer. The incident forced the early dismissal of all county schools.
Two schools in Randolph County – Elkins High School and Midland Elementary School – also received bomb threats in March. An Elkins High School student was charged with conspiracy to commit a terroristic act this week following an investigation into the matter.

TORONTO - Sarah Polley's documentary "Stories We Tell" has nabbed a $100,000 film prize from the Toronto Film Critics Association.
The acclaimed actor-turned-director was presented with the 2012 Rogers Best Canadian Film Award at a gala dinner Tuesday.

As runners-up, Cote and Dowse each received $5,000.
"Stories We Tell" also received the TFCA's 2012 Allan King Documentary Award.

The most astonishing sight of all is the snow hovering above the tropical landscape."Egypt nurtured by the snows." In 150 A.D., Claudius Ptolemy, the most distinguished geographer of his time, produced a celebrated early map of Africa that fanned speculation about a snowy source of the Nile. Without ever setting foot in Africa, he sketched an icy range rising from the heart of the continent that he called Lunae Montes — the Mountains of the Moon — a name widely used for the Rwenzori today.
Ice is disappearing so swiftly that much critical scientific information may already have been lost.Josephat and his fellow tribe members are worried. For them, melting glaciers are an economic threat.

"It is imperative that producers meet the deadline for disaster assistance as there are no late file provisions for LFP and ELAP," said Robert Garcia, executive director of the Refugio/Goliad County USDA Farm Service Agancy. "To ensure a smooth application process, producers should have all required supporting documentation with them at the time they apply for benefits," he said.
The programs are for eligible ranchers and livestock producers who had livestock losses or grazing losses during the 2011 crop year.
Livestock Forage Disaster Program
LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers who have suffered livestock grazing losses due to qualifying drought or fire that occurred before Oct. 1, 2011. Fire losses apply only to federally managed rangeland. Eligible livestock under LFP include beef cattle, alpacas, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep and swine.
During the 2011 crop year, all Texas counties met the LFP trigger requirements for a three-month payment for native pasture, improved pasture and forage sorghum. Eligible ranchers and livestock producers have until Jan. 30, 2012, to apply for LFP benefits.
For more information, please contact the Refugio/Goliad County USDA Service Center at 361-526-2392 x2. Information can also be obtained on line at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.

Numbers up for deer hunt, car-deer crashes
Growing herds, weather conditions seen as factors
The DNR is looking for a strong finish to the deer hunt to match the promising numbers that were reported over the opening weekend.
All day Saturday, hunters pulled up to the registration center in Barneveld to check in their prize does and bucks. Don Bates with the Wisconsin DNR said the count has been up for that station and everywhere across the state.
"Overall this season, the kill has been up," Bates said. "We're up about 20 percent around this area, and I believe statewide it's similar."
Just in the opening weekend before Thanksgiving, hunters registered 134,772 deer with the DNR. According to DNR statistics, 1,120 deer were shot and killed in Dane County. Another 2,128 deer were harvested in Iowa County. More detailed county-by-county numbers can be found here.
Bates said those numbers are usually a good indicator for how the entire nine-day hunt will go.
"We have seen an inflated opening weekend kill, or it may be legitimate. It may carry through the season," Bates said.
Bates said the big numbers show that herds are growing and that more people are ready to hunt this season.
"It's also an indication of weather conditions," Bates added. "The nicer the weather, the more hunters go out, and if there are more hunters out there, they have more opportunity."
It would seem to follow that killing off deer would decrease the numbers of them out on the roads. However, Jeff Hepp at Ball Body Shop in Middleton has a number of drivers coming in with deer-related damage this time of year.
"We've seen at least 30, and we're continuing to see an uptick of business right now because the deer are really running around right now," Hepp said.
Hepp said the hunt is at least partially to blame for more collisions. He said the animals are pushed out of the woods and are therefore more likely to take to the streets, adding that the increased holiday traffic during the hunt doesn't help.
Hepp's best advice for drivers is to resist the urge to swerve.
"Just hit the brakes," Hepp explained, "because we see a lot of cars that have more damage from trying to miss the deer than they do from actually hitting the deer."
Hepp said damage from deer versus vehicle accidents doesn't typically total the car unless the car is traveling at highway speed. Thankfully, Hepp hasn't heard of any injuries from deer crashes this year, and he said that the $2,000 to $6,000 in damage done in this kind of collision is usually covered by basic auto insurance policies.
The final count for this season's deer registration will be released early in the coming week. The hunt ends Sunday, Nov. 25.

I watch a lot of movies. Really a lot of movies. Too many movies, probably, seeing as lately I've actually convinced myself that I somehow know more about making movies than the people who do that shit for a living.
In my defense, though, the only reason I think that is because I often come across films with secondary characters that are just too interesting, to the point where I keep wishing that the entire movie was only about them instead of the piss-poor excuses for protagonists we got with ...

4 Star Trek (2009)'s Kirk and Spock
Paramount Pictures
The Movie You Know:
A square-jawed asshole (Chris Pine) and a guy in emotionless alien blackface (Zachary Quinto) have to save the Federation from Nero, a pissed-off Romulan captain played by Eric Bana. Nero and his crew actually turn out to be from the future, where their home planet, Romulus, was destroyed, and it might have been Spock's fault. The movie devotes about five minutes total to that last part.
But What If:
Paramount Pictures
The movie obviously should have been about Nero.
The main draw of Star Trek has always been its diverse cast of space anthropologists (led by their zoophile captain) and the colorful villains they encounter. The problem with the Star Trek reboot, however, is that it focuses only on two members of the original Enterprise crew, and then does absolutely dick all with them.
Even before going into the movie you could have guessed how it would play out with the main characters: Kirk would act like a dick until they made him commander of the entire Starfleet with Spock by his side like a faithful wife on a bucket of anti-anxiety meds.
Getty Images/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Put a space background behind them and you'd basically have J.J. Abrams' Star Trek.
Still, that wouldn't have been so bad if the movie had just focused more on the villain. It could have actually taken Star Trek to some new levels, because, well, Bana's Nero was something new to the Trek cinematic universe. He wasn't some ribbed-condom-head warrior, or a space racist trying to take over the galaxy. He was a blue-collar miner with a pregnant wife who had to witness his planet, together with billions of its inhabitants and his unborn child, be consumed by a hellish supernova. That's why, when his ship got sucked into a black hole and sent back in time, Nero spent 25 years trying to find the man he believes failed to save his world: Spock.
Don't you want to see that journey? Bruce Wayne lost his parents and went from dumb child to Batman, and we can't get enough of that story. Wouldn't you love to see the steps between blue-collar family man and homicidal time-traveler with his own fucking army?!
He was misguided in his quest, sure, but we can all understand the unbelievable pain he must have felt and his desire for vengeance. On top of that, he didn't make any grand speeches or act like he was the star of Shakespeare in Space. He was just a regular guy (piloting a space necromancer's flying tomb) who had everything taken from him and desperately needed someone to blame, making this face-tattooed, time-traveling alien one of the most relatable (and interesting) characters in all of Star Trek. In comparison, Kirk's main motivation throughout the series is that ... he really wants to be a spaceship captain? YES! More of that please!

3 Twilight's Edward and Bella
Summit Entertainment
The Movies You Know:
A series of increasingly disturbing adventures of Edward Cullen, a vampire statutory-rapist, and Bella Swan, a horrible human being who teaches girls everywhere that pretending to commit suicide is the best way to get back with your ex-boyfriend.
But What If:
Summit Entertainment
Let me tell you something about Edward's adoptive father.
Carlisle Cullen was born around 1640 to a Christian pastor who hunted werewolves and vampires with a team of professional monster hunters. Ladies, if you are experiencing a tingling sensation in your stomach, do not panic. It just means that the awesomeness of the previous sentence has just made you pregnant.
Summit Entertainment
Just don't let Mr. "Your baby is my soulmate!" anywhere near you, OK?
Eventually, the pre-vamp Carlisle became the leader of the Vampire Stabbin' Brigade, until he was bitten by one. Now a vampire himself, you'd expect Carlisle to head to the nearest high school and start creepily romancing the blandest girl there. But nope, showing some admirable and dramatic character consistency, Carlisle spends a significant amount of time trying to commit suicide and kill the monster that he has become. Yes, this happens in a film/book that went on to inspire unsettling, BDSM fan fiction that your mom got off to.
But wait. You might be thinking that a character not being able to accept who he is and trying to kill himself isn't an appropriate protagonist for Twilight's teen demographic, to which I say: Have you fucking seen Twilight? I have, and it's about as suitable for teenagers as novelty, breakaway condoms coated in high-grade fertility drugs. At least a story that focuses on Carlisle would show him eventually coming to terms with his fate and using his newfound immortality to become a medical doctor and save hundreds of human lives over the centuries.
Image Entertainment
So, something like this, only not terrible.
Even his love life is miles more interesting than his creepy son's: According to Carlisle's backstory, he turned his future wife, Esme, into a vampire to save her from dying after a suicide attempt due to the loss of her child. (I just realized there are an awful lot of suicide attempts in Twilight. Huh.) Unable to bear watching a person whom he knew previously as a happy, joyful woman go out in such a tragic way, Carlisle goes against everything he believes and turns her into a walking corpse. The two fall in love soon after and create a family of "vegetarian" vampires (including Edward), thus concluding a fascinating chapter in the life of a vampire doctor whose origins read like a mix between Supernatural, Underworld, and The English Patient.

Tova Fruchtman: CNJ staff writer
PORTALES — As they prayed, their hands raised, their eyes closed and their fists clinched.
The eight men — including Baptists, Pentecostals and Catholics — gathered Saturday morning at Portales Public Library for the "Men of God Arise" meeting were passionate about the mission.
Some came because they got a call from Portales resident Shawn Miller. He called every church listed in the phone book, and spoke to male church leaders and invited them to attend the meeting.
The group wants to persuade men to change their roles in their families, churches and communities. They're concerned women are becoming the spiritual leaders and financial supporters of the family.
Miller also walked the streets of Portales almost daily for three weeks carrying a sign that read "Men of God Arise," in English and Spanish.
Miller, a former pastor who doesn't attend church anymore because he says churches are "boring" and "irrelevant," said God laid a burden on his heart to reach out to men, to stop them from being passive members of their family.
"If you're working all the time, what about your family? What about your children, your home? You are never there," said Miller in an interview after the meeting.
But his passion led to his arrest on Jan. 17. The charge was trespassing, Portales police records show.
Miller said he was talking to a friend at the friend's office and started telling him the changes he needed to make in his life to become a man of God. When the man asked Miller to leave, he said he couldn't, that God asked him to stay.
The man became angry and eventually called police.
When told of Miller's arrest, one of the eight men at the meeting, Father Tobin Hitt of St. Helen's Church in Portales, declined comment on the specific situation, but said at an earlier time that Miller was on the right track.
"Well I tell you, he bugs you, bugs you, bugs you … but to be honest we needed him to be like that," said Father Tobin Hitt of St. Helen's Church in Portales, one of the eight men at Saturday's meeting.
"If it takes a man like that to stir us up so be it — praise the Lord."
Miller's passion and Saturday's meeting has encouraged some local pastors to start work on spreading a message of change.
Adam Rios of El Shaddai in Clovis also attended the meeting. Rios and Hitt have started work on a plan to present the mission of "Men of God Arise" every two weeks to area churches and on local radio and television shows. Every program will be bilingual.
"We as men have failed," Rios said. "God wants a change."
Rios said many of the problems in America are caused by men not living up to their responsibility to God.
He pointed to the Biblical story of Adam and Eve as proof.
"When Adam and Eve sinned … Adam fell asleep … (and) the serpent came and lied to his wife," Rios said. "What happened? Adam blamed Eve instead of taking responsibility. So we as men of God have to take responsibility."
Rios said the movement is in full swing.
"I've been around pastors all my life, and they do nothing but talk and there is no action," Rios said. "We are going to have to give an account to the Lord if we don't get on the ball."
Hitt said through teaching and praying with men he hopes to convey the vision of the group, explaining that the short-term goal of the group is to promote the vision and teach men practical steps to become men of God.
The vision of making men accountable goes way beyond one church, and affects everyone in the community, Hitt said.
As for Miller, he had hoped to pass the torch to pastors.
Meanwhile, Miller said he has plans to hit the streets again — this time with a sign that reads, "We need revival."
He hopes that message will spark interest, too.

Shopko Hometown Could Come to Tomahawk
Submitted: 04/23/2013
Ben Meyer
Executive Producer
- Only one built-from-scratch Shopko Hometown general-merchandise store exists in the entire state.
Tomahawk could soon have the second location.
City leaders are considering a proposal for the new store in Tomahawk's north side.
The household basics shop is a scaled-down version of a full Shopko store.
"I would say it's favorable. It's probably going to be a good thing for the community as a whole. But you can't commit city resources by the tax base and added cash flow," says Tomahawk Mayor Bob Lee.
The site, near North 4th Street and County Highway A, is where the company wants to build.
Most current Shopko Hometown stores in the area, like the one in Eagle River, are converted Pamida stores.
The only other original Shopko Hometown is in Stanley.

Rhinelander third graders shop with local Police Officers and Firefighters
Submitted: 12/10/2016
Play Video
- A group of Rhinelander kids kept some local officers busy as they sped through the aisles at a nearby department store, shopping for the holidays.
"I'm just happy they get to see law enforcement and [the] fire department in a positive light," said Rhinelander Police Officer Chad Brown.
"That's all I care about."
Officer Brown started "Shop With a Cop" in Rhinelander eight years ago.
He wanted to show kids that they always had support, not just when something was going wrong.
"It's amazing to us to interact with people when it's not a time of crisis," said Brown.
Bright and early Saturday morning, 17 kids boarded a bus.
The kids got a tour of the police department and had breakfast with officers to get energy for a day of holiday shopping.
"It's fun to be able to joke around and laugh because we don't get that every day," said Brown.
8- year- old Dariyon Catchings waited for this day, ever since his brother got chosen for "Shop With a Cop" last year.

Rhinelander students create a mural for the cafeteria
Submitted: 12/09/2016
- Nearly 200 individual clay tiles will soon cover a wall in Rhinelander's James Williams Middle School.
When Josh Calhoun decided to have his art students start a new project, he saw a bigger picture.
"We're one big team with a goal in mind," said Calhoun.
"You've got [to] do this piece of the puzzle and you're a part of it."
Calhoun decided to create a mural that will hang in James Williams Middle school.
"It's something that everyone has a piece of," said Calhoun.
"They all have to work together to make this mural."
The mural's theme is surrounded around the four seasons featuring Wisconsin animals to represent the student's home town.
The students will work on 182 induvial tiles that will come together as one.
'"They're all unique they're made from our classmates," said 12- year- old Haylee Connor.
To get the students ready Calhoun even had them train in the gym with team building activities.

Crescent moves closer to building high-speed internet tower
Submitted: 12/09/2016
- Several thousand people living around Rhinelander could get another high-speed internet access option. But first, Oneida County needs to figure out how to actually permit the tower.
The Town of Crescent approved building a 180-foot tower earlier in 2016. The tower would offer high-speed internet service to most of the 2,000 people who live in the community.
Oneida County needs to approve a permit for the tower, but Town Supervisor Steve Richardson says county leaders still need to figure out what permit to use.

First Series Win
Well, we're three games into the Padres 2011 season. I'm loving it, and I think we've seen some very positive things already.
First of all, we won two out of three games against the Cardinals in Busch Field, which broke all sorts of records since we have a horrible track record at that stadium. Not so this weekend. There's something really solid about this team, even if we don't have Adrian anymore.
So, it definitely felt good to win that first series. Hopefully things will go really well as we come home to face the Giants and Dodgers. Ooh. That's going to be very interesting.
And of course, the Padres are in first place. Exactly where we belong, and hopefully where we will stay.

Sometimes losing a star player lights a fire. Remember the Mariners after Johnson, Griffey and A-Rod left? My Jays won 85 games and had one of the best staffs in the AL last year after Roy Halladay was traded. Hey, anything can happen!
First place feels so good, even this early. My White Sox are also in first place, and I'm already proclaiming them the Central champs🙂
First series win in St. Louis since 2005 or 2006, I forgot which, but this is definitely a great way to start out 2011!http://padresfanindodgersland.mlblogs.com/

Frames were sometimes called timbers or, erroneously, ribs (see Rib). Ancient ships often had frames composed of lines of unconnected timbers; later ships usually had compound frames composed of floor timbers, futtocks, and top timbers. Square frames were those set perpendicular to the keel; in the bow and stern there were cant frames, running obliquely to the keel. Forward of the cant frames and fayed to them, in large round-bowed vessels, were the frames running parallel to the keel and the stem, sometimes called knuckle timbers; more accurately, these were the hawse pieces and knightheads, the latter being the frames adjacent to the apron or stemson that extended above the deck to form bitts and support the bowsprit. The aftermost frames were the fashion pieces, which shaped the stern.

Also the aspect of the pallets had not been well addressed at the GA. Finance GA: When events that were not planned occur, the team leaves it to the facilitator to make the best decision. The Finance team does not break off to decide alone. It listens to the GA and to the other team members who can say their opinion as an individual. 1pm deadline: The deadline should be respected. The night before the GA the budget to be approved should be made available online so that people can be informed what will be discussed at the next GA. Re-evaluating core funds: The Ga had approved core funds for the camps and that they would be re-evaluated on a monthly basis. The past week has seen a lot of occupiers leave the camp, so we could start to try to lower the costs. We will start with one aspect at the time. For this week we will investigate on the porterloos. Em will talk to Obi and to Tanya about it. Ring-fencing funds: The finance WG leaves it to the GA to discuss an proposals of ring-fencing funds. Any proposal of this kind does not go against the process in place. Computer donation: Given the type of computer we consider it useful to be used for an info point.

PayPal and Sponsume: Vica will send out an email for suggestions on alternatives to PayPal. Luke and Vica will investigate the Sponsume proposal.

1911 Census
Jump to: Getting started The Census pages
The England & Wales 1911 Census is the most anticipated and important addition to our records in recent years. If you're new to family history, it's the perfect place to get started. And if you've already made plenty of discoveries, it provides some fascinating information not found in any previous census records.
Searching the 1911 Census is straightforward. Simply type in a name, add any other information you can, and click Search. Because it's such a huge collection, with over 35 million records, you'll receive a lot of results for most names. It really helps if you can give your best guess of when your ancestor was born, and where they might have lived.
You may well have grandparents or even parents who were alive in 1911. It's likely that you have more clues to go on with these close relatives, so try searching for them first. When you find them, you'll also discover all the other family members they were living with. Assuming they were children, that means their parents and siblings.
You can then go back in time and search for these older relatives in our earlier census records. Find them as children, note down their parents, and go back another generation. In this way, you can often quickly and easily discover dozens of new ancestors.
It's even easier if you build your family tree on our site. You just need to start with two or three generations, and we'll start searching for your relatives - in the 1911 Census and our millions of other records. When we find them, we'll let you know by giving you Hints, shown by green leaves next to the names in your tree.
When you find your ancestors in the 1911 Census, make sure you view the original record images. This Census is unlike any of our other records, and provides some key information you won't find anywhere else.
All the important details from previous censuses are still there. You'll discover everybody in each household, listed with their ages, birthplaces, occupations and, crucially, their relationships to each-other.
However, the key difference is that you won't see other households on the same page. This is the first online census where you're given the individual forms filled in by each family, rather than the enumerators' notes that bring them all together. That means you can read your ancestors' original handwriting, and even see their signatures.
More than that, you'll often find extra notes that reveal different aspects of their personalities. For example, several people added summaries of their previous jobs, while one householder who objected to all the questions wrote: "Would you like to know what our income is and what we had for breakfast?"
You'll also find extra information not provided in earlier censuses. This is often known as the fertility census, because it tells you how long women had been married, and the number of children born to that marriage – both alive and dead. If you've found any birth certificates for family members you've been unable to track down, look to see if the children died young.
Plus, you can see the industries your forebears worked in, alongside their standard job titles. This can be fascinating information, as many people changed trade in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution.
To help you pick out every detail, we've created a unique record viewer, especially for the 1911 Census. This brings your ancestors' entries to life like never before. Find out more

September 18, 2013 —
BUSHKILL, PA — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Superintendent John J. Donahue announced that a proposal submitted by Joseph Stead of Milford to lease the 45.3-acre Cliff Park Golf Course has been awarded by the National Park Service (NPS). The new lessee hopes to re-open the course to golfers this fall.
The National Park Service issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a 10-year lease of the nine-hole par 35 Cliff Park Golf Course in May. One proposal was submitted for consideration. Stead's proposal outlines a comprehensive plan to successfully rehabilitate, market and run the golf course.
"Stead's extensive experience as a golf course manager and as a PGA golf professional combined with his business acumen and dedication to environmental sustainability and National Park Service values make him an ideal operator for this property," said Donahue. "We are confident that he will bring Cliff Park Golf Course back to its former glory and operate a successful business."
Stead and NPS officials gathered at park headquarters recently to sign the lease agreement. "I am extremely proud to have the privilege to run this golf course, one of only a handful located in a national park. It is an important part of the park and the local community and it is near and dear to my own heart," said Stead.
For more information on Cliff Park Golf course, including fees, memberships, and hours of operation, visit www.cliffpark.com [1] in the coming weeks.

Match up wise I think we take the bulls on better then the heat, I don't think we would beat either in a 7 game series. I think 7th seed is reasonable. I can see boston falling out of the race and I don't think the bucks are as good as some people think, especially after that deal.
Time will tell, last nights game was encouraging, but we need to be consistent.
