Datepac redesigns pallets for trucks
Yuma, Ariz.-based date packer-shipper Datepac LLC is tackling sustainability with a multipronged approach, said
Ed O'Malley, president and chief executive officer.
The company reconfigured pallet patterns to increase pounds per square foot of truck space and added more efficient temperature-controlled facilities, O'Malley said.
"We are also looking at greener packaging for sustainability in 2013," he said.
Mann Packing program looks at life cycles
Salinas, Calif.-based Mann Packing Co. is focusing on product "life cycles" this year, as part of its sustainability initiative, said Gina Nucci, director of healthy culinary innovations.
"For example, when we harvest romaine lettuce, the outer, sun- and wind-damaged leaves are left in the field and tilled into soil to provide nutrients for sustainability," Nucci said.
The process harvests only edible leaves, she said.
Mann's prewashed and consumer-ready romaine leaves have no waste for consumers and are packaged in recyclable containers, Nucci said.
Mann also has come up with ways to cut emissions by reducing its packaging.
SCS Global Services has a new name
Emeryville, Calif.-based SCS Global Services is operating under a new nomenclature, as of last fall.
The company, which focuses on sustainability as well as food safety certification programs for customers worldwide, had been known as Scientific Certification Systems.
"We've been a global company for a long time and the global aspect of the service we provide wasn't clearly delineated in the name," said Chip Wood, marketing specialist.
Stemilt Growers efforts earns energy award
Winning an award for energy conservation is but one step in an ongoing sustainability program at Wenatchee,
Wash.-based Stemilt Growers LLC, said Roger Pepperl, marketing director for the fruit grower-shipper.
"We're looking at how operations run on electricity and doing relighting projects constantly, which reduce your amount of electricity immensely," Pepperl said. "We're doing a whole lot of them."
The company says it has cut energy consumption at its largest fruit packing facility by 30% in the past two years.
Water-reduction initiatives are another part of the company's plan, Pepperl said
Village Farms expands into hydroponic facility
Delta, British Columbia-based hydroponic greenhouse operator Village Farms LP in May opened a new 30-acre glass facility in Monahans, Texas, said Helen Aquino, marketing manager.
The new plant produces tomatoes and cucumbers.
Village Farms based the new house on its proprietary Greenhouse Agriculture Technology Environment System, Aquino said.
It differs from the company's other vented greenhouses in that it is completely enclosed, Aquino said.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State University faculty member, Terry Houser, has been named a recipient of the American Meat Science Association's Distinguished Achievement Award. He will be honored at the AMSA's Reciprocal Meat Conference June 18 in Auburn, Ala.
Houser, an associate professor in K-State's Department of Animal Sciences and Industry, teaches and conducts research primarily in adding value to meat and the effect of livestock diet on meat quality.
"Dr. Houser's published and proprietary research has directly improved color stability and eye appeal of beef and pork products produced in Kansas and surrounding states, which are marketed nationwide," stated the AMSA in announcing the award. "He, in collaboration with other Kansas State researchers, was asked by the National Pork Board and American Meat Institute Foundation to benchmark the amount of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in a large number of commercially-available meat products and to research possible mitigation strategies to decrease HCA formation."
As a result, Houser and the K-State team are investigating new mitigation strategies to decrease HCA formation, and have published several peer-reviewed articles on the subject.
Two other researchers, Christy Bratcher of Auburn University, and Jeffrey Sindelar of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will also receive AMSA's Distinguished Achievement awards.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1662 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's finally come out with a redesigned, reimagined device, changed the name of the company from the awkward Research In Motion to just plain BlackBerry and signed up an iconic star in Alicia Keys to market that product.
But will that be enough for BlackBerry to reach its former heights of success?
Technology and industry analysts have become so used to being disappointed by the company that was once the dominant player in the mobile smartphone market -- a market the BlackBerry invented -- many are already saying its new device and new operating system may be too little, too late.
The stock price fell close to 12 per cent on the very day of the global unveiling, not the most heartening sign for the company.
There are probably few who will say the new BlackBerry Z10 or Q10 are not upgrades to the previous iteration, but will that get people to buy in?
As the one who's trying to play catch-up, it behooves BlackBerry to do something extraordinary.
Maybe it's too soon for anyone but the tech experts to judge that, but the punters may not be impressed enough to switch.
Kyle Romaniuk, a branding expert and the vice-president of corporate initiatives for ClarkHuot in Winnipeg, said, "Since BlackBerry had the smaller market share you would typically expect them to challenge the status quo. As the smaller player, they should be more agile, take more risks."
But that's not the impression Romaniuk has of the new BlackBerrys.
"It looks like they have launched a new product and put everything they possibly could into it. But it looks like their benchmark was the products that exist in the market today," he said. "You'd think they would have pushed past what was already there. But basically, they are just on par with everybody else."
Some say the fact the Waterloo, Ont.,-based company is still around is a sign it has a chance to survive.
Peter George, CEO of Winnipeg-based McKim Cringan George, believes the iconic Canadian company still has a chance to succeed even though its trajectory has been one of the most unusual in the history of the tech sector after being so far ahead of the competitors and then finding itself trailing the pack so quickly.
"Does it have a chance? I think it does," George said. "The company has always been flush with cash. It's always believed in itself and has been relatively successful for a while."
And it's not like it has abandoned its customers or markets. A recent report in Business Week noted its continuing strong market share in Indonesia and other Asian markets.
"They have stuck to their knitting, so to speak," George said. "They have not freaked out and sold the business or overreacted."
He said there is a school of thought that says if you delay the launch of a new product for as long as BlackBerry did, it means the company either really doesn't know what it's doing or it's supremely confident that what it's coming out with will be successful.
George said the dramatic fall from grace speaks to the massive rate of change that has become a regular feature of the market today, especially in the technology sector.
As such, Romaniuk said for BlackBerry to win over the doubters, it needs to show it is a change merchant.
"The expectations are a lot higher in the market now," he said. "At least they are at the table now. But I think people would like to see something new every quarter that is pushing it further. They have to go beyond being just good enough."
Then there is the national-pride side of things.
Canadians have had precious little to root for the in the tech sector since the demise of Nortel. So there is some sort of goodwill factor that exists for BlackBerry, at least in the Canadian market.
"What the next couple of weeks holds, nobody knows," said George. "I hope it is successful. It is a great Canadian business story and I hope they can keep it going."

More than nine years later, El Cajon Police Agent Rich Agundez still gets thanks from former Granite Hills High School students who remember how he stopped a potentially deadly tragedy at the East County campus.
Agundez, 50, recalled that day last week as he ended his 29-year career with the department.
"I had a guardian angel with me," Agundez said. "I'm glad I was there."
Agundez was the school resource officer for Granite Hills when senior Jason Hoffman, 18, came to campus March 22, 2001, and began firing a shotgun, injuring two teachers and three students. Agundez shot and wounded Hoffman before he was able to take him into custody.
Hoffman killed himself in his jail cell seven months later.
The incident occurred less than three weeks after two students were killed and 13 people were injured in a shooting at Santana High School in Santee. Fifteen-year-old freshman Andy Williams was convicted of murder charges in that case.
Even before the Santana shootings, Agundez said he had been developing a plan on how schools should react to a shooting as a result of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School. The plan had just been put together — and revised after the Santana shootings — when Hoffman struck.
Agundez said he was in a break room at a party for a campus supervisor when he saw shattered glass and heard gunshots. He saw Hoffman reloading his gun about 50 feet away.
"I just said to myself, 'He's not going to reload,' " Agundez said. "It's going to end here."
Agundez began firing, although he's still not sure how many times. He hit Hoffman's jaw, knocking out several teeth.
"He started to run and I kept shooting at him," Agundez said.
Agundez and a sheriff's deputy, Angela Pearl, who happened to be at the school, chased Hoffman until the gunman stopped and lay down to be taken into custody.
"He was angry. He was mad I shot him," Agundez said.
Agundez said he became upset when he heard Hoffman had killed himself.
"What compels a person to do that? What a complete waste," Agundez said. "He was young and felt it was hopeless."
Agundez said he still gets reminders about the shooting, the only time in his career he had to fire his gun at someone.
About six months ago, he was writing a traffic ticket when a young man recognized him.
"He starts bawling," Agundez said. "He said, 'I was at Granite Hills and you saved my life. I never got to thank you.' "
Agundez handled a variety of assignments during his career, from traffic patrol to the department's SWAT team, but he said his most rewarding times were when he worked with young people. Agundez, who is single, became a mentor to two youths he met on the job, referring to them as his son and daughter. He also has coached football at El Cajon Valley High School.
He particularly enjoyed his three years in the DARE program, working to discourage young people from using drugs.
"I felt I was touching lives," he said.
Last Friday, Agundez held his last squad meeting with his team, reminiscing and taking some ribbing from his colleagues. They gave him a lucha libre mask used in Mexican wrestling and had him hit a star-shaped piñata with a police stick. Police Chief Pat Sprecco joked that department officials who hired Agundez assumed he could speak Spanish.
"He was able to order food and cuss and that was about it," Sprecco said.
"He's got the biggest heart of any cop I've ever worked around," Sprecco added. "He's a great guy. We're really going to miss him."

England will have to chase down 196 if they are to finish their miserable tour of Australia with a win in the third Twenty20 international in Sydney.
Australia hit 13 sixes, profiting on short straight boundaries, with skipper George Bailey taking 26 from the final over bowled by Jade Dernbach.
Bailey finished unbeaten on 49, from 20 balls, with opener Cameron White adding 41 in a total of 195 for six.
Stuart Broad had slowed Australia in the middle overs, returning three for 30, but Dernbach's forgettable series continued as his last over went: four, six, six, four, four, two.
That meant the right-armer returned figures of no wicket for 49 while in the series he has taken one wicket, with his 11 overs costing 142 runs.
Bailey won the toss and batted at ANZ Stadium - the venue for the 2000 Olympics - and opener Aaron Finch was twice dropped off Tim Bresnan before the England right-armer broke a 48-run stand with White.
Debutant Chris Jordan let a sharp chance burst through his hands at mid-wicket, before Alex Hales spilled a running catch from White over the long-off rope.
Finch responded to his initial reprieve by blasting Ben Stokes' first over for a pair of sixes as Australia ended the powerplay at 41 without loss.
Bresnan finally got Finch, for a 21-ball 30, when the opener floated a miscued pull to Broad at mid-wicket.
Broad brought himself back on and after Glenn Maxwell swiped him for his second six, he drew a false shot for Hales to this time hold on.
Australia sent Ben Cutting in as pinch-hitter and he rewarded their decision with three sixes in a quickfire 50-run stand with White.
Bresnan took the brunt of the damage in an over that cost 18, before Stokes again went for two sixes in an over.
The half-century stand between White and Cutting came up from 27 balls, but England broke it two balls after turning to Joe Root's spin.
Root showed quick reflexes to hold on one-handed to a return catch after Cutting had hit 29 from 16 balls.
That prompted a collapse of four wickets for 21 in 16 balls as England fought back.
Jordan grabbed his first Twenty20 wicket when White feathered a catch down leg for Jos Buttler before Broad struck twice in his final over on tour.
Brad Hodge was out pulling to long leg before Dan Christian edged onto his middle stump without scoring.
Dernbach could then have had Matthew Wade only for Ravi Bopara to put down a steepling catch.
Wade profited by hitting the next ball to the rope and the first from Bresnan's penultimate over for six.
The wicketkeeper was then left to sit back and watch Bailey take over in a final powerful burst.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/4/2013 (1595 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Maybe it was the colour of the bandana they were wearing. Or the track suit they were sporting. Or the neighbourhood they were strolling through.
Perhaps it was the fact they made eye contact. Or avoided the steely glare of a stranger.
Whatever the case, several young Winnipeg men have lost their lives in recent years for simply being in the proverbial wrong place at the wrong time.
It's a fact that should be triggering collective outrage and fear from all citizens. After all, what kind of civilized society tolerates law-abiding folk essentially being executed in public because of what they happen to be wearing or where they happen to be walking?
The most recent example is last week's unsolved daytime shooting slaying of 20-year-old Nigel Dixon. Police say the young man was confronted on Langside Street just after 4 p.m. and wrongly accused of being in a gang. He denied any affiliation -- only to be chased down and shot dead by the unknown attackers. A female friend who was with him at the time was also wounded by gunfire but is expected to survive.
Police Const. Jason Michalyshen said Tuesday that it's "baffling... that any human being would react in this fashion."
And yet recent history shows this type of scenario has played out many times before on the mean streets of Winnipeg. One case would be too many. But the Free Press has uncovered at least five other examples.
-- David Vincett, 20, was gunned down in what police believe was a case of both gang revenge and mistaken identity. Vincett did not belong to a gang but certainly knew members of some. He had lived in the West End until early September 2011, then moved with his family to the North End and was killed days later.
Vincett often wore a black and white bandana, likely to give the impression he was gang-affiliated. It may have got him killed. A 14-year-old boy has been charged with first-degree murder.
"It was just wrong place, wrong clothing, wrong time of night," the victim's tearful mother, Linda Kozlowski, told the Free Press. "(The bandana) was a protective thing to him. My son was shot and left to die, like a dog."
-- Joseph McLeod, 23, was stabbed in the heart by two teens on a Saturday afternoon in front of several children because he was wearing a white bandana. McLeod was walking down Ross Avenue near Isabel Street, minding his own business, when he was approached by the 14-year-old boys in May 2009. McLeod was wearing a white bandana, which led the accused to believe he might be affiliated with a rival gang.
"Who you reppin?" the youths asked. McLeod took off his bandana and told the truth -- he wasn't a part of any gang. The former Charleswood resident had recently moved to the neighbourhood and was working several part-time construction jobs. Friends say he wore "gangster-style" clothing to put up a false sense of bravado in a tough, gritty area.
One teen pulled a knife out of his pocket and jabbed McLeod twice in the chest before fleeing. McLeod collapsed in a pool of blood, gasping for air while the child witnesses screamed for help.
"This was a random, senseless and brutal crime that happened in broad daylight in the presence of young children," Crown attorney Jocelyn Ritchot later told court.
-- Anthony Woodhouse, 29, was killed in cold blood, a victim of mistaken identity. His final moments alive were in the arms of his hysterical mother.
Woodhouse was shot execution-style as he sat on the porch of a North End home in September 2007.
"Wrong place, wrong time. It's just completely tragic," Crown attorney Carla Dewar would later tell the Free Press. Police ultimately charged three Indian Posse gang members in 2009 with the killing. They had randomly approached Woodhouse on the street, asked him if he was "down with the IP" and then shot him point-blank in the head when he stated he was not.
-- Phil Haiart, 17, was walking through the West End in October 2005, when he got caught in the crossfire of an ongoing gang "turf" war. Haiart, the son of a city surgeon, was hit with a stray bullet and died. A gang member was convicted of second-degree murder. His killing left a substantial mark on the city, ripping apart the perception that innocent people are immune from the gang violence that has plagued the city in recent years. Mayor Sam Katz and then-police chief Jack Ewatski responded immediately, vowing to protect citizens from such random violence and announcing a "Clean Sweep" task force aimed at reducing street-level crime that continues to this day.
-- Joseph "Beeper" Spence was just 13 years old as he walked down a North End street in July 1995. A van pulled up beside him, filled with gang members who believed he was a rival based on the track suit he was wearing, which happened to be of similar colours as the Indian Posse. One of the occupants pulled out a shotgun, fired a single blast and killed the boy on the spot.
Beeper's slaying made headlines across Canada and sparked calls for tougher penalties for young offenders and tougher laws for gangs. The murder was also one of the first signs that Winnipeg had a major street-gang problem.
The young killers were eventually sentenced under controversial plea bargains.
It has now been 18 years since Beeper was killed. And the same ugly pattern continues to play out in the city, albeit to more muted headlines and seemingly far less public outrage and calls for change.
Surely the families of these innocent victims deserve more. Surely we as a society can do better.

Let's Dish! Potluck Party Ideas
While "potluck" means a variety of different and delicious foods, it also means a variety of different pans, bowls, dishes, and serving pieces.
While "potluck" means a variety of different and delicious foods, it also means a variety of different pans, bowls, dishes, and serving pieces.
For a recent potluck party, we borrowed the great retro colors from the Pear Tree Greetings Let's Dish potluck invitations we chose to send out to friends, and used those colors to decorate and help unify the look of our potluck.
Using this retro color scheme across the table centerpieces, the serving table, and dessert table, we were able to bring everything together in a pleasant way.
So, let's dig in - to the party details, of course!
As the host of your friendly potluck party, be sure to send out a formal invitation, like Pear Tree Greeting's "Let's Dish!" to guests. For one thing, this will give them a clear picture about what to expect (they'll have to contribute!) and it'll also help you plan out a look for the dinner that's fun, functional and cohesive.
Inspired by the flags on our Pear Tree potluck invitation, we created some little flags for our party foods. Yum! Simple potluck party decorations can add a lot of fun to this ecclectic dinner and still tie everything together.
Small, narrow vases in our theme colors held a flag indicating where guests could place their potluck dish on the serving table. We created the flags with cardstock and then lettered them with white stickers. Each flag was adhered to a wooden skewer and then just popped into the vase.
Fun, but functional is the idea behind these nifty DIY utensil bags. Inexpensive and bold, they add a pop of color to the party, make it easy for guests to grab everything they need at once and all on a budget!
Cupcakes for dessert! We decided to provide the dessert for our potluck and what could be better than a yummy cupcake? We were able to pull our theme and colors together on the dessert table with vanilla, orange and lime cupcakes. Inexpensive paper lanterns provided the perfect pop of color to coordinate with our cupcakes.
Party favors are by no means required for a friendly-potluck party, but it's a nice gesture that doesn't have to cost very much and will really make your guests feel special.
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Going Greek
I used to love Greek salad growing up, what with all the olives and cucumbers and tangy feta cheese. I can honestly say that authentic Greek salads were one of the things I missed most when I went vegan, and I'm happy to say they are back in my life thanks to Heidi Ho Organics.
This crumbly, soy-based, cheese is zingy and herbaceous without being overwhelming, and it is the closest thing to the real deal you can get. I add it to greens along with kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pepperoncini and am taken right back to my teenage years, only without supporting the cruelty of the dairy industry. Hooray!
Get some today, and have a great weekend, everyone.

I present to you, the story of Maximus:
Name: Maximus, Chaotic Human
Role: Ranger
Female companion hawk named Carigula, has a majestic preference for attacking humanoid targets, has a habit of savagely attacking anything that it isnt specificly trained to handle and is rather stubborn once she has set her mind on a target. Enjoys petting at sunset and is a excellent scout although tends to disappear for days yet always emminently reappearing in the nick of time. Maximus suspects she spend most of her time hunting nearby in the wide opens when this happends.
Fast, Stealthy, intimidating, scout, savage and stubborn. +3 ferocity, +1 cunning, 1 Armor, +2 Instinct
Attack same target, adds ferocity to damage.
Starting Moves:
Hunt and Track(Wis) – Determine what caused the trail to end
Gear: Hunters Bow and short sword
Adventure Gear and bundle of arrows(3 ammo, 1 weight)
Maximus grew up in a small desolate fishing village northwest of the Maka Forrest, it was a small impoverished place that never saw any outsiders and for all intents and purposes doesnt exist for the outside world. The inhabitants of this quaint little place dont mind, they know enough and have seen enough to realize that not existing in this world might just be a positive feature.
For maximus, this was not quite right, he always wandered into the forrest, eventually disappearing for days, his parents had already given up hope that he would find rest and peace in fishing and thus spent more time with his bretheren(1 brother, 2 sisters). Eventually Maximus never came back, not that anyone noticed or cared for long enough anyway.
Thus, he became a wandered, visiting the plains of imam and the far eastern edges of the Songo desert. He learned to stay away from any human contact as well, after having a few bad run in's with local thugs that frankly didnt quite know what to make of his scruffy look, wild eyes and generally uncared for exterior look. In the forests he mastered camouflage, dodging perilous dangers but mostly humans that wandered in too deep.
Maximus has often enough seen groups of 'adventurers' go about, or so they called themselves as he had stalked them through the forests. Not that he really knew what they were up too. Often they just went into old ruins and other structures that posed little good for anyone venturing near it, this Maximus knew well enough.
To him, they always seemed like a consort of live forms that had a very special death wish, looking for 'treasure', or such things. Trinkets, nothing more. Left behind by gods of old, monster of new and what else lurks beneath.
Nop, he didnt plan on getting involved with these people anyway. As his grandfather had always said; "take what you can get and leave before anyone realizes your true potential", 's'pose the old man did have a use afteral' Maximus realized, as he had just looted the supplies of another group of strangers.
Not that he needed it, no he was quite well supplied, he just considered it more of a sport then a necessity, it was a good exercise and brought some sport into his life.
Little did he know that it would come back to bit him someday.
Nothing seemed odd that evening, the prelude to disaster was not yet visible not did the weather show any signs that day. In retrospect it all seemed odd, almost predestined.
As maximus took shelter for the storm in a nearby cavernous system he fell through some sort of trapped floor. Fortunately the trap wasnt quite working anymore, but going forward was the only way out, or so it appeared......PS2/NS2/Mumble: SirWigglyBottom

If you want to see what its all about I'm basically doing a one shot next week which seems to be turning into taster for new people, test of a setting and one last hurrah. Which is really awesome I have to say. So if you want to try it out but don't think you can do a weekly schedule its definitly a good option.
Oh yeah Pepper it might be best to make a different character for my one shot as well since its a completely different world and setting but you can wait until i post up the details of the setting.
here is a good link to start with - http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/foru...l=1#post516843
at the moment the party is in need of a druid and a paladin.
however as xercies pointed out, next week he will be dm'ing a one off in a completely different universe. so stay tuned to this thread for details as we get closer.
@pepper: awesome; glad to have you aboard!

Ok Setting the scene time for this Fridays session, its going to be a bit more open this session going to be asking you a few questions when a scene starts so its deliberately a bit vague to get you started but to get your input as well.
The City of Teuthida
Teuthida is a very large and bustling city based around where the sea and the river meet. It is a powerhouse for trade, for Squid lives in its curious waters, they farm the Squid and make various foods and items from it making it very rich. It also allows a lot of trade in and because of this back and forth it has many people from a wide range of cultures, races, and languages mixing in the various different districts. On the surface it seems like a very popular rich city, but when you actually live there you realise it is nothing like you have ever visited before, all the districts have interesting quirks to them, and even strange phenomena. The rulers do some very strange things and allow districts to almost be there own city, and make some very strange laws that affect a lot of people. And there is even something strange about the Squid.
Main Street and Waterfront District
The Main Street and the Waterfront district is the place to go for tourists and shoppers everywhere, full of items that the Squid Factories produce and the other civilizations have traded. Even on a quiet day the crowds are hard to get through, the people are in every direction, they are in every shop, and they seem to not let you past them. There are various different shops, in the side streets there are wondrous impossible things to catch a glimpse of. ~The bars are full of strange people and customs. Cut-throats and purse snatchers are very prevalent in this street, for the crowd of people give juicy targets and great hiding places.
Art Hub
The most vibrant part of the city, full of cafes, coffee shops, art gallerys, and the large high rise buildings where the artists with not much money to their name live in very dirty conditions. When you go past you can always hear arguments about what the greatest bits of art are, what the trends of the Art Hub seem to be going, some of these arguments get very heated sometimes to heated as policemen sometimes find dead mutilated artists in an alleyway after a few of these arguments. Sometimes the art itself can have a great impact on the city, or even sometimes some weird magical properties that affect anyone who sees it.
Rich Residential Area
The rich people of the city like to live in there massive stone houses near the hills in the outside of the city. They all seem to know each other and go to many bizarre clubs and rituals together, sometimes putting pins on there dinner jackets, and sometimes wearing ghoulish animal masks. The Rich residential area streets are built like a maze, where only people who have the money to live there and have gone through the necessary rituals know there way around it. If you don't know your way around it, you are an unfortunate soul since you might not be seen again, or if you are seen again you are very unrecognisable.
Religious District
Religion s a big part to people in the city, especially to the immigrants who live there since it gives them a place to fill comforted and to meet their brethren. There are many different religions in this part of town all having a building, sometimes you can get lost in there, sometimes it seems impossible how many buildings there are because no matter what religion there is there is always a building for it...always. There are even small buildings for the cults that spring up through various different reasons, these seem the most dangerous as they don't always want gold from their followers, and they always want new people to be in there fold whether those new people want to be there or not.
Abandoned District
Something seems to have happened to this great city, something that has put a scar in the city itself through abandoned crumbling buildings that once stood proud and full of life but are now like ghosts, empty. No one wants to talk about what happened, or maybe the people who originally knew died off or the thing that happened affected them also in some strange way. All people know is that they want to stay far away from the Abandoned District, sometimes people have nightmares about what might be in there.
Factory District
The manufacturing heart of the city, where all the squids get made into useful items and food. It is dirty, smelly, and full of smog which means it is far away from civilization and only the workers are allowed to go in there. Which is a good thing, since the smog hides something impossible and maybe something dangerous, also there seems to be some factories that no one seems to go in or out of but seems to be doing...something. There can also be glimpses of strange figures that might appear human but are definitely not.
Squid Farming and Research District
A ramshackle part of the city full of fisherman boats and huts, and some research facilities. All in the name of catching the squid, and either sending it over to the factories or studying it. Both the fisherman and the scientists are a curious bunch, seemingly half mad through the loneliness of their job, and maybe because of the squid itself. Some fisherman and squid after a few years get out of the area fast, rambling on about how the Squid are going to ruin the city and that they should destroy every one. But that won't happen since the scientists and the fisherman, and the whole city relies on the Squid to much.
I think you get the idea for the setting, definitely going for a kind of Gothic City with weird things going on kind of feel.
Yes you totally can! If no one else wants it, I would take this opportunity to play a class you haven't played with though.
I'm curious how some of these classes will work if the setting is 18th-ish century?Steam: Am I Doing This Right?
Rock, Pen&Paper, Shotgun

Well I think if we theme them right they could work, instead of your standard medieval fighter maybe its a Soldier/Boxing guy, instead of a Wizard maybe its a Mystic, instead of a Paladin maybe its a Freemason/Knights Templar.

Yeah I think I'll start your characters at Level 3 meaning you get the 2 stat boosts and the two moves.
I guess my main wonder is how do the fighter abilities work if you're then actually referring to someone as a soldier?
I think it could still work, I mean even though its 18th century your adventurers/special people so if you want to go around with a hammer you totally can. Just maybe understand fictionally why your character does that.
Also if you could post your characters that would be cool.
well if im a wizard im more of an alchemist: a tall, thin gentleman with a top hat, a monocle, a pointy mustache, and pointy ears, who supposedly is a bit mad due to his ancient royal elven blood - all my spells will in fact be potions, my spellbook will in fact be a medicine bag, and instead of "preparing spells in contemplation" i will "utilize traveling chemistry set".
if im a druid im more of a chaotic voodoo witch doctor / pirate who was born of the open sea, can shapeshift into creatures of that realm; and looks like mercutio from the dicaprio version.
If you want a proper Alchemist here is a link to someone's take on the kind of class: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2zm...BIeU1qenM/edit
Also if anyone wants to be a different class there are a few here:

this time, I was frolicking in the Caribbean with my new husband. That
week serves as the pinnacle of the "just us" portion of our lives. We
were coming off the high of our wedding day and were off having exotic
adventures, celebrating and reveling in our relationship. We were close.
We were solid. We were blissfully unaware of how rare such an
occurrence would become.
Five years later, on one of those
Jackalope Date Nights I mentioned, I found myself sitting across from
this man that I've shared almost a decade of my life with, struggling to
find something to say that wasn't about the kids. It was awkward. How
on Earth did we get here? This would not stand. We vowed not to speak of
the children for the rest of the date, and by the end of the night we
were laughing and, dare I say, flirting like we were 20. It was such a
relief to create that boundary, to designate these moments strictly for
ourselves where we didn't have to be Mommy and Daddy. Instead, we spent
the evening as Sarah and David and it was so rejuvenating. It's so worth
it to take a little time to connect with your partner and rediscover
what drew you to them in the first place.
Finding time to spend on
our relationship isn't easy. We are two kids in; it will never be easy
again and I'm not willing to wait until they're out of the house to
start reconnecting with my husband. I feel like that's a recipe for
sitting down to dinner in 20 years and not recognizing the man sitting
across from me. We have to actively carve out our own time — five
minutes here, a few hours away there — or our lives will be devoured by
adorable little id monsters demanding things like food, bedtime stories
and games where you are a sick patient being attended to by a doctor
dressed suspiciously like Captain America.
Navigating intimacy as a parent is a difficult road, but I couldn't have chosen a better person to travel with.

THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR to Open 7/12 at First Folio Theatre's Outdoor Main Stage
First Folio Theatre, presents Shakespeare's classic comedy THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR on its outdoor main stage situated on the scenic slopes of the historic Mayslake Peabody Estate. THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR previews July 9, opens Saturday, July 12 at 8:15 p.m., and runs through August 10, 2014. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy First Folio Theatre's annual "Shakespeare under the Stars" production, directed by Jeff Award nominee Nick Sandys.
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR stars Shakespeare's greatest (and largest) comic character, Sir John Falstaff, who was too huge to be contained by his original appearance in Henry IV. Short on money, the rotund Falstaff sets out on a quest to seduce not just one, but two wealthy married women, who then decide to turn the tables on Falstaff and teach him a lesson in fidelity and honesty. The New York Times raves that this classic tale is "Sparkling! Brims with joy!"
The cast is led by Brian McCartney as "Sir John Falstaff" (Taming of the Shrew and As You Like It at First Folio Theatre), Patrice Egleston as "Mistress Page" (Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth at First Folio Theatre), Meg Warner as "Anne Page" (Northanger Abbey at Remy Bumppo Theatre Company), Lydia Berger Gray as "Mistress Ford" (Jeeves Takes A Bow and Richard III at First Folio Theatre), and Fred Geyer as "Fenton" (The Pitchfork Disney at Athenaeum Theatre). THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR also stars Victor Holstein as "Master Page" (Bellboys, Bears & Baggage at Redmoon), Caroline Rau as "Mistress Quickly," Joe Foust as "Master Ford" (A Christmas Carol and Measure for Measure at Goodman Theatre), Robert Allan Smith as "Sir Hugh" (The Madness of Edgar Allen Poe: A Love Story at First Folio Theatre), Christian Gray as "Dr. Caius" (The Madness of Edgar Allen Poe: A Love Story, The Jeeves Trilogy and A Moon for the Misbegotten at First Folio Theatre), Elliott Plowman as "Bardolph," Mark Hespen as "Pistol" and "Rugby" (Rough Crossing at First Folio Theatre), Alex Stein as "Nym," Bill Chamberlain as "Shallow" (Follies at Chicago Shakespeare Theater and Lakme at Lyric Opera Chicago), Michael Mulhearn as "Slender," Aaron Berogan as "Simple," Sophie Duntley as "Robyn," and Steve Peebles as "The Host of Gartner Inn" (Much Ado About Nothing at First Folio Theatre). The ensemble includes Sara Costello and Alex Dematralis.
The artistic team includes David Rice (Producer/Executive Director), Alison C. Vesely (Artistic Director), Angela Weber Miller (Scenic Designer), Michael McNamara (Lighting Designer), Elsa Hiltner (Costume Designer), and Chris Kriz (Sound Designer). It also includes Brian Claggett (Technical Director), Cassy Schillo (Properties Designer), Mara Filler (AEA Stage Manager), Ricky Harbecke (Board Operator), and Jason Martin (Dialect/Vocal Coach), Coral Opem (Assistant Stage Manager), and Sarah West (Assistant Stage Manager).
First Folio Theatre is in its 18th season of bringing high-quality performances of Shakespeare and other classics to the stage. During that time, the theater has expanded from an annual summer production to a year-round operation with three separate and distinct stages at the historic Mayslake Peabody Estate. The Shakespeare Book of Lists names First Folio Theatre one of the "150 Great Places to See a Shakespeare Play." The Chicago Tribune raved that their "Shakespeare Under the Stars" summer series "offers something Navy Pier can't...plenty of greenery, gentle breezes and the chance to stretch out on a blanket with family and friends while being transported to Shakespeare's otherworldly romance."?
MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR previews July 9, opens July 12, and runs through August 10, 2014. All performances take place at the Mayslake Peabody Estate, located at 1717 W 31st St., off Rt. 83, in Oak Brook. First Folio is easy to get to from via the East-West Tollway (I-88) or the Stevenson Expressway (I-55). Free parking is available on the grounds. Preview tickets are $22. Regular priced tickets are $30 Wednesdays and Thursdays (seniors and students are $26), and $37 on Fridays through Sundays (seniors and students are $32). All performances are at 8:15 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at 630.986.8067 or online at www.firstfolio.org.
