Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Today, we're announcing the availability of a partner-only beta release of Backup Exec 2012 and Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition. Open exclusively to Symantec's 60,000 global channel partners, the beta release will provide partners early access to one of Symantec's market leading backup and recovery solutions. Symantec wants to work with our partners to help customers fix the new challenges on controlling data growth, unifying virtual and physical platforms, and simplifying backup.
The partner-only beta release will help Symantec's partners address the three major "C"s of most backup environments of their customers: Complexity, Cost and Chronically shrinking backup windows. Our partners have told us that they need to give their customers a simple, single application that protects both virtual and physical environments and that is easy to configure while reducing overall management complexity. Such a solution should not add another expensive tool and should help them reduce overall costs in the IT infrastructure. Finally, with ever-expanding data growth, our partners have told us they want to deliver to their customers a tool that can help them address existing backup window challenges and restore applications, files and servers quickly after a disaster.
The beta release adds new features and benefits to help our partners address new challenges for their customers:
Also, because we know many SMBs are implementing virtualization technologies, among other innovations, we're offering a new Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition which will install in less than ten minutes and with three simple steps. The new Backup Exec Small Business Edition will bundle Symantec's data and system recovery into one solution with a single license designed for a growing business.
We're excited to provide this beta release to our partners as our first step in fixing the backup problem with an end to fragmented point solutions.

Hi ,
I alrady Participated on it and downloaded , installed BE2012.
this is the link ...
Let me tell you it's not easy getting the BE 2012 beta. You practically have to jump through hoops to get it! I've applied for it through ParterNet over a week ago and still haven't heard anything. You have to join a group which says will email you back in 24 to 36 hours but its been 7 days for me and haven't heard a thing. I have the Global Team, Channel Inside Sales and a Partner Program Specialist trying to find out how to get a link to download it.
Hi i am working on Backup Exec on our servers i need administration guide can some one help me on this pls u can email to firstname.lastname@example.com
if u donot have backup exec installed and want to read about it u can download it from below link
It takes a couple of hours, and up to 2 days to get access...but you should be able to log onto the public beta site with your Connect credentials.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Not the place for this...I'd suggest adding this as an Idea (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/backup-and-archiving/ideas) or checking in the forums. This relates to BE 2012 only...

On the Evolutionary Gold Mine Down Under
What the platypus and other Australian species reveal about genetics
- By Dina Modianot-Fox
- Smithsonian.com, August 01, 2008, Subscribe
The bizarre-looking platypus has become the poster animal for evolutionary science. It is a living bridge between a hairy lizard that was our forebear and the mammal we are today. But the recently published platypus genome shows that this native of Australia has an amalgam of genes that resemble those of birds, mammals and reptiles. The research has also highlighted that continent's exceptional importance in genetic research.
"Being cut off from the evolutionary mainstream for 80 million years, Australia specializes in really different plants and animals," says Jenny Graves, a professor of comparative genomics at the Australian National University in Canberra . "Our access to kangaroos and [Tasmanian] devils, dragons, kookaburras and old gum trees presents opportunities to make unique contributions to international genomics."
Millions of years ago when Australia drifted away from the super landmass called Gondwana, its flora and fauna were isolated—a seclusion that makes that country akin to a huge evolutionary lab. More than 80 percent of Australian plant and animal species are endemic, meaning they occur naturally only on that continent. That group includes twelve families of flowering plants, four of birds and seven of mammals, some with fetching names like long-tailed pygmy-possum and tube-nosed insectivorous bat.
This biological heritage has been preserved in a mix of genes found in the platypus, which, along with the echidna (or spiny anteater), belongs to a class of mammals called monotremes, because they have only one opening for reproduction and waste elimination.
Like other mammals, the platypus has fur, thermoregulates and lactates, although it doesn't have nipples (the young lap up the milk from the mother's abdomen). But it lays eggs like reptiles and birds and the male platypus carries venom (in spurs in its hind legs), yet another feature found in some reptiles, while its sperm and sexual makeup are close to those of the chicken.
Graves, co-leader of the platypus genome project and one of 26 Australians out of the 100 international scientists who participated, has won several science awards and has been called a "national treasure" for her groundbreaking work on native species. An authority on sex determination, she has spent decades researching the platypus and that iconic marsupial, the kangaroo—and suggested the genomic studies on both.
The platypus genome is now done, sending ripples of excitement through the scientific community. And the kangaroo riddle too is about to be solved, with publication of that animal's genome due in the next few months.
Under a project partly funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), Australian scientists recently finished sequencing the DNA of the tammar wallaby—a small member of the kangaroo family. Graves, director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics, and her colleagues are in the process of assembling it and using it to explore kangaroo biology and pinpoint important human genes.

Platypus's are really cute and furry. i love platypus's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For your info, yes, birds DO have a sort of belly button where the egg sack connected. It is an 'outie', and when exotic birds are raised in captivity their navel is often disinfected for safety.
Posted by Kit Kederich on August 15,2008 | 12:55 AM
I have wondered for years whether monotremes or marsupials have belly buttons. It would seem that they do not since neither have placentas. However, does a chicken have a belly button from the embryo's connection to the yolk sac? Perhaps you have the answer -- it so, please let me know. Thanks!

Transformers 3 Release Date – 2012 Says Bay
19.03.09 # News # 65 Comments
Yesterday Paramount announced that the next installment of the Transformers franchise would hit the theatres on July 1st 2011. Well it turns out that (to quote Cool Hand Luke) "what we have here is failure to communicate". It seems that the studios think they settled on that date but Bay thinks they settled on a completely different date.
This quote is pulled from Bay's official website -
Wait a minute! I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 – they asked me on the phone – I said yes to July 4 – but for 2012 – whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots.
So it looks like we'll have to hold our breath until 2012 for our next dose of giant robots turning into stuff and/or beating the circuits out of one-another. It's possible that the studio might hold Bay to their agreed upon date, though it sounds like there is nothing in writing so it seems unlikely.
UPDATE: Bay has now agreed to go with the studio's choice – Transformers 3 will officially be released 29th June 2011. With some 3D and IMAX screenings from 9pm on 28th June. That's final.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A suburban Denver man has been arrested after accusations that he threatened to shoot children, kill people on Halloween and kill President Barack Obama.
Mitchell Kenneth Kusick, of Westminster, was being held Tuesday on a federal charge of threats against a president. He identified himself as a student at Colorado Mesa University in western Colorado.
According to KUSA-TV in Denver, Jefferson County court records show he told his therapist about wanting to shoot students at a trick-or-treat event at Standley Lake High School.
Federal court records say Kusick took a shotgun from his aunt's house, tried to buy ammunition, then told his therapist about his plan.
The therapist called police, and Kusick went to a hospital, where he was placed on a mental health hold.

Island Modern Fit
This shirt has a trimmer fit, offering a clean, contemporary look. This V-neck tee is a must-have for your casual weekend wardrobe. Crafted from pure, soft cotton, it feels (and looks) as cool on the coast of Cabo as it does at a cookout in California. Contrast stitching at the shoulders, cuffs and hem add big-time style points.
- Island Modern: Styled with a trimmer fit at the shoulders and chest for a clean, contemporary look.
- 100% cotton
- Machine wash cold on gentle cycle; tumble dry on low setting. Do not dry clean.
- Straight hem with side vents
- Tagless collar
- This pigment-dyed garment is meant to fade when washed. Please follow the care instructions carefully.
- Imported
Island Modern Fit Cohen V-Neck T-Shirt
Neckline was defective
This shirt looked great in the photo, but in reality the neckline was crooked (and significantly so, not just slightly). It did not lay flat on one side due to the lopsided cut. NOT what i'd expect from such an expensive T-shirt. (Note - i did get a refund on the returned shirt).
October 17, 2013
Very comfortable
This shirt is made too fit perfect, the material is soft to the skin, the stitching is done to perfection. Jeans or kaki you have a perfect outfit.
October 15, 2013
Great Shirt
For a comfortable fit and class look it is difficult to find a better product. With a wide selection of colors, it is the type of shirt that can be dressed up or down and still be in a class by itself.
October 14, 2013
Just got back from a trip to Maui. I worried about the reviews that sometimes it was a trim type of fit. These guys are great, they feel good, and are a very current alternative to the standard t shirt and have the same feel of a dry fit kind of shirt.
October 12, 2013
No longer my favorite
I used to own dozens of these V-necks before the change to modern fit. Now, it appears that Mr Bahama has decided to target the slimmer, more physically fit client.
The Cohen V-neck in Island Modern Fit is too tight around the middle for those who have larger mid section. If you move up a size, then the shoulders are far too large.
September 16, 2013
The shirt makes me look muscular. My wife loves it!
The description of this shirt is on point! It feels so smooth on my skin. I also have it in black. These shirts are sporty and casual. It makes my arms look very cut lol. I am now a Tommy Bahama customer. Please do not stop making these. I will be buying more for next summer.
August 23, 2013
Casual to classy without changing
This shirt is comfortable, cool, and fits perfectly. It can be worn with jeans or dress pants. Sometimes folks think the stitching means it is inside out but I like the styling.
August 2, 2013
v-neck tee shirts rule !!!
this Tee Shirt has a certain flair and style i love. the material is supple and soft. the hems on the shoulder and skirt are reversed .... great quality -- i now have 4 of them...
thanks, again -- Tommy Bahama

Elena, the nine-time FIA World Rally Championship-winning co-driver, is pictured in action on Rallye du Var in France last weekend where he was responsible for driving the course-opening '0' car.
Rather than pilot his driver Sebastien Loeb's all-conquering Citroen DS3 WRC, Elena was let loose in a slightly lower-specification DS3 R1 during the three-day Tarmac event, the final round of the French championship.
Fellow Monegasque Olivier Campana co-drove Elena during the rally, which was being led by Robert Kubica until the Formula One race winner crashed on the penultimate stage.

Hacker hits Brighton cyber bully campaigner
2:50pm Monday 11th June 2012 in News
A hacker broke into a woman's computer days after she had won a court battle to unmask her online tormentors.
Last week a High Court judge ordered Facebook to release the details of web bullies who had taunted Nicola Brookes from Brighton.
But on Wednesday Ms Brookes found her personal computer had been infiltrated by an unknown user.
Personal emails between her and her lawyers had been opened and crucial case evidence examined.
However, the hapless hacker is believed to have left an unintended calling card behind – their own email address.
Last night Sussex Police said it had launched an investigation into the incident.
Ms Brookes said: "I couldn't believe it when I found someone had been through my emails. I have no idea how they did it.
"There's some pretty important stuff in there and it certainly caused a panic.
"I just hope they find whoever did it as soon as possible."
Ms Brookes, who suffers from chronic Crohn's disease, suffered "unbearable" online taunts and insults after posting a comment online in support of Woodingdean X-Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza.
At the High Court a judge ordered Facebook to release the personal details of the offenders within four weeks, which the US-based company has agreed to do under Californian law.
Rupinder Bains, from Ms Brookes' lawyers Bains Cohen, said the hacker would face a possible prison sentence if caught. She said: "Harassing someone online is an offence which could carry a six month jail term.
"But hacking into someone's personal computer is even more serious. They could face up to a year in jail.
"Apparently they left their own email address on the computer which is incredibly stupid and should hopefully lead to their arrest."
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said: "Following a report that Ms Brookes' computer had been hacked on Wednesday Sussex Police has contacted her to gather information from her about the incident."

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Civil War Event Book (Premium Edition)
Margaret Weis Productions
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/22/2012 12:55:43
Civil War is an Event for four to six players and may take up to six months to play. The Event consists of three acts, with several scenes each (Buildup and Key Scenes, which consist of Action and Transition Scenes). In addition to scenes, the event has optional rules for troupe play, optional rules improving scene distinctions and complications, and a sourcebook. The Premium edition includes the Operations Manual, which is the game system rulebook also available in the Basic Game book.
Operations Manual: As said, this is the same OM as the Basic book. However, a random character generator, has been included. The random character generator, and an example of play, are also available on the publisher's website. If you have an iPad, I highly recommend the Premium edition over the Essentials version, which does not come with the OM. The additional cost for the OM is only six dollars on DriveThruRPG.
The scenes themselves are each only a few pages long. Rather than specific details, the description is more of an overview, pointing out various important scene and datafile distinctions. That's certainly enough to play and enjoy a scene. Including the scene distinctions is a nudge up from the Basic Game's Breakout scenes, which only mentioned datafile distinctions. Watcher character datafiles (ie. villains and their agents) are included with a scene, as is advice in running these characters. Advice is also provided if players wish to pursue the scene further. The datafiles of characters in the scene and some of the scenes will be very useful in your own events, although no index is provided if you want to quickly find this information. If you haven't already purchased the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game, go ahead and purchase the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Civil War Event Book (Premium Edition). The Premium Edition's scenes are better written and the variety of scenes will be useful as models for your own adventures.
Troupe Play: The scope of Civil War is much larger than any individual hero. The optional Troupe Play rules allow players to play different heroes throughout the event. Basically, the troupe play rule is that all XP are granted to the player, not the individual heroes being played. Further discussion is made for advanced troupe play, such as players who want to play heroes on either side of the registration act.
Scene Distinctions and Complications: This optional rule makes Scene Distinctions have more impact on a scene. A player may now add a Scene Distinction *and* a character Distinction to his dice pool for free, so long as one is a d4 and the other a d8. The Watcher may turn a Scene Distinction into a complication by spending a die from the dice pool (eg. The Pro-Registration Protestors starts as a Scene Distinction. The Watcher spends a D10 from the Doom Pool to change this into a D10 complication).
Civil War Sourcebook: While oriented towards the Civil War, the sourcebook section has information that is likely to be used for any Marvel event. Each location or faction has a short write up, datafiles for notable characters and agents, and sometimes Unlockables and Milestones. Marvel factions are AIM, Hydra, Illuminati, and SHIELD. Key Marvel New York locations include the Daily Bugle, Avengers Mansion Ruins, Baxter Building, Ryker's Island, and landmarks of New York. Fiction Marvel locations are Atlantis and Wakanda.
Friends and Foes (watcher characters): This section has additional datafiles for addtional Marvel allies and villains. Notable ones in this and the scenes include Dr. Doom, Green Goblin, Venom, New Thunderbolts, Nick Fury, Black Widow, and AIM, Hydra, and SHIELD agents. Notes are included to upgrade them to player characters. In addition to the hero datafiles, Civil War has datafiles about forty villains and heroes. With the forty-some villains in the Basic Game's Breakout event, your heroes should be pretty busy!
Hero Datafiles (pregenerated characters): Arachne, Black Panther, Cable, Captain America, Clint Barton, Cloak, Dagger, Daredevil (Daniel Thomas), Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Falcon, Goliath, Hercules, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Mister Fantastic, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, Nighthawk, Punisher, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Sub-Mariner, Thing, Tigra, Wasp, Wolverine, Wonder Man, Yellowjacket.

Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game (DCC RPG)
Goodman Games
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/20/2012 22:54:56
Introduction: Dungeon Crawl Classics has been making some buzz on the RolePlayingGeek forums. The "not just another return to old school" RPG comments and Goodman's reputation made me take a closer look at this highly thematic fantasy RPG.
Art: Probably what hits you first is the "old school" art. It's not the slick Magic the Gathering art that's been infecting coffee table RPG's, but art last seen in the old first edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I'm namedropping, but Erol Otus, Jeff Dee, and Jeff Easley are contributing artists. And, yes, the art still has no relevance to the text the page is on, comsuming gobs of laser printer ink if you're even thinking of printing this out. I *REALLY* wish a printer-friendly PDF version of this book was released.
Core Mechanic: It's OGL.
Differences from other systems: Basic D&D's Cleric, Thief, Warrior, Wizard, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling classes. Surviving 0th level. The Luck ability score. Spell checks -- which work differently for wizards versus clerics. Critical hit tables, fumble tables, and other tables of thematic fury. No prestige classes, attacks of opportunity, feats, or skill points.
Organization: The book is pretty intuitive to use. For example, character generation comes first (because all the old school gamers did that sort of thing), before the actual combat mechanics. It's also a PDF, so searching is easy. While it has a simple Table of Contents, it has no index. Chapters are Characters, Skills, Equipment, Combat, Magic, Quest snad Journeys, Judge's Rules, Magic Items, Monsters, and two Adventures.
You start at to 0th level, with its high mortality rates. The book states upfront you'll generate -- and play -- several characters and see who survives. The core book comes with a 0th level adventure so DMs will have an idea of how to design one. And there IS a random character generator at Purplesorcer.com. Still, you can easily make first and higher levels if you want to do boring things like survive.
In addition to the standard platonic solids (and the heretical d10), the game calls for Zocchi dice: d3, d5, d7, d14, and so on. They'll set you back over $20 on Amazon.com. Rather than just using positive and negative modifiers, you will "step up" and "step down" dice. A d8 might be stepped up to a d10, or stepped down to a d7, for example. Unfortunately, for those of us who own iPods, there's no app for this (yet). But see Purplesorcer.com for a web die roller and KickStart app.
DCC pretty much uses the standard six ability scores and modifiers. Personality replaces both Charisma and Wisdom. Luck is a new ability score used for a variety of skill checks and other rolls. You can burn Luck for a one-time bonus on a roll (typically life-or-death) and gain it back through roleplaying to your alignment. Your character will roll on the Luck Score table to see what special ability they can modify with Luck (eg. The bull: Melee attack rolls).
Character generation consists of: 3d6 for each ability. 1d4 hit points, modified by Stamina, one randomly determined piece of equipment, one randomly determined occupation, and zero XP. On the character Occupation tables, you roll your character's occupation and if their character is a non-human (such as a halfling chicken butcher). You get to choose your alignment: Law, Chaos, or Neutral.
PDF Notes: Character generation is only twelve printed pages long, so you can print this section as a handout for players.
Classes: As said, the classes are Basic D&D's Cleric, Thief, Warrior, Wizard, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling. Each class has its OGL level progression table, but also have special abilities that set them apart. Clerics and Wizards cast spells (that's a whole chapter in itself). Thieves have thief-related skills and can better use Luck than other classes. Warriors can make cinematic Mighty Deeds of Arms, such as blinding or disarming an opponent, and have improve critical hit tables. Dwarves and halflings are fighters while Elves are fighter/wizards. Besides racial abilities, dwarves have a shield bash attack, and halflings can fight two-handed and serve as a party good luck charm! The non-spellcasters are easier to play. Each class's section is only a few pages long so you can print out these sections as player handouts. (Spell casters, however, will need to know the Magic rules.)
Combat: Combat is pretty much OGL with chromey tables and without a grid. Roll for Initiative, roll for your Attack, roll for damage. A Natural 1 results in a roll on the Fumble table, and a Natural 20 means rolling on your classes' Critical Hit table (yes, there's more than one Critical Hit table!). Warriors and Dwarves have their Mighty Deeds. NPCs have Morale Checks. Characters can fight two-handed with penalties, and clerics can turn unholy opponents. DCC also has a complex Spell Duel subsystem that can accomodate multiple spellcasters -- and can result in nasty eldritch side-effects (demonic invasion, anyone?). With the grid gone, combat has been simplified back to AD&D.
Magic: Magic is dangerous. Spellcasters make a spell check, and each spell has its own results table. The higher the result, the better effect the spell has. Critical failures and successes add highly thematic penalties and consequences. A cleric's failure reduces his chances of casting spells until the next day (his deity's busy fighting a holy war) and a roll on the disapproval table (eg. a test of humility). Wizards have the far worse (and amusing) miscast and corruption failures. Miscast an Animal Summoning spell, and your familiar might disappear and come back very very angry. An example of a minor corruption would be ears mutating, major corruption corpulence, and greator corruption tentacles replacing limbs. Wizards' spells are further individualized with side effects ("Mercurial Magic"). Spellburn rules allow wizards to temporarily sacrifice ability points to add to his spell check or recover cast spells. Wizards have familiars, can consult spirits, and can even acquire supernatural patrons. These effects are handled by extensive but uncomplicated tables in the book. Unfortunately, the magic rules and spells are not well layed out for printing from a PDF. The magic section mixes rule players *must* know (eg. descriptions and ranges of spells) with information a gamemaster may wish to keep from the players (eg. the various tables of effects). Spells are about a page long, but some spells wrap to the next page, making printing of individual spells inconvenient. Clerical spells and wizard mechanics and spells differ enough that I would have preferred to see a different chapter on each.
Magic Items and Monsters: In the DCC world, magic items are rare and unique, monsters mysterious and heresay. Swords receive an extensive treatment of tables to personalize them. Rules for scrolls are provided. Potions have a table in under the Make Potion spell, but that's about it. Magical items are more like the One Ring than Home Depot. Although a monster bestiary is included (they get their own Critical Hit tables, too!), so are suggestions to make a stock creature unusual enough for players to be unsure what they're facing. Stat blocks are also included for human non-player characters. Treasure is relegated to an opinion piece against the conventional "monster guarding a pile of coins". If you (and particularly your players) don't like this aspect of the game, it shouldn't be too hard to change.
Adventures: The core book comes with two adventures, The level 0-1 Portal Under the Stars, and 5th level Infernal Crucicable of Sezrekan the Mad. These adventures were also released at the 2011 Free RPG Day, so do not purchase the Free RPG Day product. True to its lethal character generation, Portal is designed for fifteen to twenty 0th level characters, with each player definitely controlling more than one character. The author's playtests show games of up to 28 players and a 50% mortality rate, with only one TPK. Infernal is more conventionally suited for 4-8 5th level characters. Portal has nine encounters and Infernal three. I haven't played them, so don't have a sense how long the adventures take or how "meaty" they are.
Support: Despite the new release of the core books, DCC already has some adventures and other support available. Purple Sorceror Games has a free character generator and dice roller. Their first adventure, Perils of the Sunken City for 0-1 level, is available on DriveThruRPG and has free paper miniatures and battlemaps at the website. Goodman Games has released two DCC adventure: Dungeon Crawl Classics #67: Sailors on the Starless Sea, and Dungeon Crawl Classics #68: People of the Pit(previous DCC adventures are for other game systems). Other 3rd party companies (even Paizo) are advertised with the PDF but their websites don't show product released yet. DCC is OGL, so, except for 0th level 15+ character adventures, I don't think it would be difficult converting from D&D 3.x to DCC.
Conclusion: Dungeon Crawl Classics puts a fantastic spin on generic fantasy roleplaying. Those of us who remember "old school" games with their extensive critical hit tables and other wild ideas have them again. Spells are no longer lifeless stat blocks but are to be feared, even by those who wield it. With D&D Next returning back to its "old school" roots, Dungeon Crawl Classics is definitely worth a look at.

Masks of Nyarlathotep
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 04/15/2012 02:02:46
Originally published over twenty years ago, in 1984, Masks of Nyarlathotep is one of Chaosium's best known campaigns for good reason. Not only does it provide a wide geographic variety of adventures players and Keepers will enjoy, it's also a very well designed adventure, avoiding many pitfalls other Call of Cthulhu adventures fall into. Masks was written by Larry DiTillio, whose writing credits also include executive story editor for the science-fiction series Babylon 5.
The adventure begins with the gruesome murder of a friend in New York. Investigators explore overseas to England, Egypt, Kenya, Shanghai, and western Australia. Locations range from London museums, to Egyptian pyramids, Kenyan mountains, Australian deserts, and Chinese import warehouses. NPCs run the gamut from high society to mysterious wisemen. Not only will investigators encounter cults dedicated to different aspects of Nyarlathotep, but will meet a memorable variety of mythos creatures as well.
From a Keeper's standpoint, the adventure is exceptionally well-designed. All too often, I've run a Call of Cthulhu adventure only to hit an unexpected dead end, as the players failed to find a critical clue called for by the adventure. Some fumbling improvisation usually moves the plot forward, but the author in Masks provides multiple ways to obtain the clues the investigators need to proceed in their tasks. For those Keepers who enjoy adding their own touches to an adventure, the author suggests various adventure seeds to enhance game sessions. Meanwhile, Keepers who do not will not be required to do so. Each country has three to five separate adventures, including red herrings, which investigators should encounter more often than they seem to do. If there's any caution to note, Keepers should be prepared to play the part of a very wide range of NPCs. If you have a co-GM, or a player who's joining for just one session, enlist them to play a few NPCs!
In my opinion, I think the PDF format is superior to the dead-tree version. Both hardcopy and PDF have a handout section that can be photocopied or printed out. However, with a PDF, a Keeper can do much more. The Keeper can print out maps and 1920's prices for players to refer to. The adventures contain atmospheric evocative artwork the Keeper can print out to show the players what their investigators see. Players inevitably forget the orally presented (and often critical) information their investigators discover. The Keeper can print and give this information to the players. And, when PCs also inevetibly expire, NPCs encountered in the adventure can become PCs. The Keeper can print out their stats and backgrounds to provide them to the players. If a player misses several sessions, or a new player joins in a few months into play, the other players can simply give the handouts to the player to catch up (assuming they're organized better than your typical Arkham professor's research notes).
I'm very happy to see Chaosium release Masks of Nyarlathotep in PDF format. Its $20 pricetag is also 2/3 the price of the dead-tree version. Not a bad deal for one of Call of Cthulhu's mostly highly regarded adventures.

Cthulhu by Gaslight
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 04/13/2012 13:38:48
Introduction: Andrew Lucard has written an excellent review of Cthulhu by Gaslight, 3rd edition, so I'll be taking a look at the PDF itself, which has been corrected since his review. The PDF was viewed on a PC with Acrobat X, and iPad 2 on Adobe Reader and other readers.
The PDF viewed is CHA23123book_rev.pdf, dated 4/5/12. On the PC with Adobe Acrobat X, I was able to view the document. I had problems viewing the document on an iPad 2, until I upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to the 4/10/12 version. iPad 2 apps that had problems viewing the document were previous versions of Acrobat, iBooks, PerfectReader, pdf-notes, PDFReaderLite, and Epson iPrint. The viewing problem is that the background on the boxed text is too dark to read the text.
Format: The PDF comes in a 196 page book, divided into Victorian Characters (player material), The Victorian World (player and Keeper historical source material), Strange Britain (player and Keeper occult and mythos source material, NPC stats, and adventure seeds), Gaslight Adventures: The Night of the Jackals (introductory adventure) and The Burnt Man, Appendix I: Suggested Sources, Maps and Handouts for the adventures, and Character Sheet. The PDF is in black and white, in a double-column format.
Price: The price of the PDF is $20 versus the MSRP of $28. That's only an $8 difference, and some online sellers may have the print version at lower than MSRP. If you *must* have a print version, you might as well buy it printed. However, the PDF version has some advantages over print, particularly for the player material.
Victorian Characters: The player material consists of the Victorian Character generation section and The Victorian World historical source material. A major advantage PDFs have over printed copies is that the Keeper can print several copies of player materials, so each player can have his own copy. The Victorian Characters section is about 20-some pages printed.
Victorian World: Based on historical England, the Victorian World source material can be used by both players and the Keeper. An advantage of the PDF format is that Keepers can easily share this information with the players. Avid players may read ahead of time this section before the game. Or a Keeper can print out the pages and cut out relevant information (eg. Underworld Slang or English law) as handouts to players during the game. This section is about 45 pages long.
Strange Britain: This section consist of Occult in the 1890s, A Gazetteer of Selected Strange Sites in Britain, The Cthulhu Mythos in Britain, Victorian Fictional Characters, A Compendium of Victorian Non-Player Characters, and Victorian Scenario Suggestions. Like the Victorian World, the Keeper can provide the occult information to players as printed handouts ahead of time or during the game, depending on their occult skill. The Gazetteer and Cthulhu Mythos are prevented something like one-paragraph adventure seeds. A crafty Keeper can definitely print this information as handouts for unfounded rumors and red herrings for gullible investigators. The remaining sections are Keeper material to add unique NPCs, stock NPC stats, and suggestions on running Victorian adventures.
Gaslight Adventures: Cthulhu by Gaslight includes two adventures, The Night of the Jackals, and The Burnt Man. The Night of the Jackals is an introductory adventure, still challenging for experienced players. Both come with handouts to print and provide the players. Both also include atmospheric art that can also be used as handouts to show players what their investigators see.
Suggested Sources for Victorian Roleplayers: This section lists further reading of and viewing Victorian fiction, Cthulhu Mythos fiction in Britain, and Victorian Roleplaying.
Maps and Handouts: Cthulhu by Gaslight provides maps and handouts for players for the game adventures, plus a map of London. A larger map is printed in black and white, with additional blue for railway and underground.
Character Sheet: The first page of the character sheet has the Call of Cthulhu stats, while the second page is for personal data and other background information. Unfortunately, I was not able to fill in the sheet in Acrobat.
Conclusion: The PDF format allows the Keeper great flexibility in providing Cthulhu by Gaslight to players. iPad 2 viewers should upgrade to Adobe Acrobat, version released on 4/10/12.

Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space (Eleventh Doctor Edition)
Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd.
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 03/29/2012 03:06:52
PDF Review and Buyer's Guide
Note: The Eleventh Doctor Edition of the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space has the same core rules as the previously released Tenth Doctor Edition. For a review of these rules, see my review on RPG.net: http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14799.phtml
PDF Review
Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space (Eleventh Doctor Edition) is a beautiful, photo-heavy, and well-laid out RPG. The downloads consist of: A Read This First, The Player's Guide, The Gamemaster's Guide, The Adventures Book, Character Sheets, Gadget Cards, Story Points sheet, and Box Cover.
If you're going to download this PDF and view it on your iPad or PC laptop, you're all set. The Character Sheets and Gadget Cards are in color, but printing a few sheets won't tax your inkjet or laserprinter. You'll want to bring some counters to represent Story Points (the Dr. Who RPG version of RPG drama points), and it may be a little inconvenient passing around the iPad if you have those sort of players who want to read the Player's Guide but won't buy their own copy. (At the time of this review, only the Tenth Doctor has a separate Player's Guide PDF for purchase.)
Unfortunately, if you intend to print it all out... don't. The same eye-candy photos in the Player's Guide and Gamemaster's Guide will consume a good amount of ink. Assuming the Eleventh Doctor Edition is on the same glossy paper stock as the Tenth, you're much better off buying the printed version. The printed version's Player's Guide, Gamemaster's Guides, and Adventure Book are separate books, making gameplay a little easier.
Buyer's Guide
But wait -- what should you actually buy? As said, both the Tenth Doctor and Eleven Doctor editions have the same core rules. So you'll only need one copy of either edition for the game system itself. Meanwhile, the Adventures, Character Sheets, and Gadget Sheets are different. Cubicle 7 has made the Adventure books for each edition as separate downloads, at a rather nice five dollars each. Cubicle 7 is also providing a *free* Upgrade Pack from Tenth to Eleven Edition of new characters, new gadget cards, and new aliens. Unfortunately, as of this writing, I didn't see a "downgrade" pack, that would allow you to buy the Eleventh Edition game but play the Tenth Edition characters, etc. Hopefully, a "downgrade" pack will be made available. So for a mere five dollars, you can upgrade from the Tenth Doctor to the Eleventh. Not bad!
Overall score:
PDF on iPad: 5.0 out of 5.0.
PDF printed: Not recommended.
Upgrade PDFs: 5.0 out of 5.0 dollars.
Downgrade PDFs: Let's hope for a Tenth Doctor "downgrade" kit.

PDF Review:
What with every other roleplaying book being either a coffee table book or half eye candy, I'm rather pleased to find Microscope's PDF in black and white. I had no problems reading it on an iPad or on Acrobat on a PC. Given the rule's lack of charts and stat blocks, I'm not sure how much I really need to print.
Microscope is an 81-page black and white PDF with no art and single-column layout. The PDF comes with a one-page reference sheet. The single-column layout uses an eye-friendly sized font, with new subjects starting on their own page titled in large bold letters. This makes it easy to look up a rule or other piece of information.
As other reviews have suggested, the rules are conceptually different from conventional "skill roll" roleplaying games. The game has no charts or stat blocks, so you won't be looking up this sort of information in the game. You *may* need to look up a specific rule. So, for those who do wish to print out the rulebook, you may wish to print it out into two sections, about 50 pages of rules, and maybe 12 pages of play advice. The remaining pages are game designer notes. Personally, I'd make a few tweaks to the PDF for better printing, such as no title pages predominantly in black.
Overall: 4.5 / 5.0. Good job.

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Basic Game
Margaret Weis Productions
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/22/2012 23:32:52
Rather than re-inventing the die by writing another review, I'll supplement the already existing and well-written reviews of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying system with a discussion of the PDF itself. In reviewing this PDF, I used Acrobat, iPad Library, an inkjet printer, and a duplex black and white printer.
The download consists of a PDF version of the rulebook, pregenerated characters, and two summary player sheets. Additional material is available at the publisher's site, but, as of this writing, the Marvel downloads there were only preview pages of the rulebook.
PDF Rulebook: One of my complaints about publishers who sell hardcopy roleplaying books is that they don't include a PDF that's suitable for home printing. Typically, the publishers will only release a PDF that's an exact copy of the hardcopy. The ideal printable PDF minimizes the cost of ink and paper for printing and organizes the material suchthat the buyer can print specific pages for player handouts and such.
Some players will bring their iPad or laptop to their gaming group. Some will print out their PDF. I think doing both is the best solution. The game master can browse the PDF on the iPad to look up a rule, then separate the pages of the printout as necessary for player handouts and such.
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying does not supply a PDF for home printing. About one-fourth of the book is art, adding expense to a home printout. I would not recommend printing the book out onto an inkjet. However, the information is well organized. No page had information that started on one page an ended on another. This makes separating the pages during play easy and convenient (eg. when one player wants to read his power on one page, and another player on different one). I should mention that a minor graphics bug made a few introductory pages of the rulebook difficult to read through the iPad library, but the rulebook can be read in Acrobat, PC or iPad.
Myself, I printed the rulebook into three sections: Basic rules (Chapters 1-3, 60 pages), Powers (Chapter 4, 60 pages), and Gamemaster section (Chapter 5 and adventure, 80 pages). As part of the adventure, the rulebook comes with villain stats over thirty B-List villains.
Pregenerated characters: The download comes with several pregenerated characters, including the X-Men (Armor, Beast, Colossus, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Shadowcat, Storm, Wolverine), Avengers (Black Panther, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel), Fantastic Four (Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, Thing), Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Sentry, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and a blank character sheet. Each page is double-sided.
Player and Gamemaster reference sheets: The download includes a one-page rules summary for players, and a two-page summary for gamemasters.
PDF Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. The lack of a printer-friendly PDF version brings the rating down quite a bit, but the organization of the PDF rulebook still allows you to print, in a convenient manner, whichever sections you wish for play.

Cthulhu Britannica: Shadows over Scotland
Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd.
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/04/2011 15:09:34
When I had the chance to review Cthulhu Britannica: Shadows Over Scotland, I leapt at it. I actually have a Call of Cthulhu adventure to run in a few weeks and was impressed at the quality of the scenarios of the original Cthulhu Britannica.
Shadows Over Scotland is both a sourcebook for Scotland adventures, as well as a collection of six scenarios. Although the PDF is formatted like the book, I actually found the PDF format itself quite useful. Overall, on an ipad, while the size of an ipad is smaller than a book, the book was quite readable. On a laptop, I still found the two-column format inconvenient. I would scroll down the page to read the first column, scroll up to the second column when I was done with the first one, then scroll back down again to read the second.
The book starts off with a 30-page "An Introduction to 1920's Scotland". This section is divided into the non-fictional Scotland after the Great War, then a mixing of the Mythos into Scotland pre-history. The first section will be quite useful for Keepers to bring in an accurate atmosphere of 1920's Scotland (and Scotland immigrants) to a Call of Cthulhu game. The second section, which includes a timeline, may be useful if the Keeper needs to ad hoc mention any Mythos activities to Investigators diligently poking their noses about. Both sections are entertaining reading and are best read electronically rather than printed out.
The next sections, which I will call the sourcebook, detail in game stats the locations of Scotland: The Lowlands, The Highlands, and The Islands. Each section starts with some non-fictional information about the Geography, Culture and People, Flora and Fauna, and Climate. When applicable (eg. fauna), stats are provided.
It's when a section discusses The Mythos, things get choppy. The scope is "to supply enough material to allow Keepers to quickly build scenarios of their own or to incorporate these materials into ongoing adventures". In other words, while well-written and very imaginative, they're inomplete. Articles range from background-level scenarios, to only the climax of an adventure, to almost-scenarios. I reallly wished these bits and pieces were made into full-fledged scenarios. On the other hand Keepers who can develop scenarios from these vivid beginnings should find these pieces of writing rewarding.
The scenarios are top-notch. Some require a Keeper who's just as good as the writing. Keepers already know how important human NPCs are, and the NPCs in these scenarios are especially vivid. Many of the darker ones have personal motives and a Keeper will want to do them justice to make them more interesting to the players. For scenarios, I find the PDF format muchly superior to a book. A Keeper need only print out the scenario pages, can write on them for notes, and physically cut out the handout illustrations or important bits of text for the players.
Overall, highly recommended!

Anima: Beyond Fantasy Game Master's Toolkit
Fantasy Flight Games
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 04/20/2011 02:32:57
The description pretty much states what you get, so I'll fill in more details with a review of the adventure and the format of the PDF.
The adventure is a three-act multi-session adventure for 3-5 first level characters. Each act is unique. The first takes place on a zepplin, involving the characters daringly saving the passengers and crew from a hijacking. The next find the characters lost on a settled island, slowly sinking into fear and despair. The last brings the characters to a climactic conclusion, in which they must release a Lady of Nightmares to defeat not one, but two, Between Worlds Beings. Quite a bit for first level, eh? The adventure has a healthy dose of combat, investigating, and interactions with colorful NPCs unique to the Anima universe. While the plots of the acts aren't too far from your typical FRPG adventure, the NPCs are definitely of the romance and villainy of Final Fantasy and similar computer RPGs.
The PDF is in beautiful color, and is best for iPad and color laser printer output. I do wish that a printer-friendly version of the book was included. Some of the rich color art becomes too dark in greyscale. And, of course, much of the eye-candy that impresses in a publisher-printed book becomes a source of ink and toner consumption when printed by the purchaser. The PDF comes with a four-panel reference screen that I had trouble printing on four separate sheets. That being said, a major advantage of printing out the PDF as individual sheets is that the game master can let the players access the first half of the book (new rules and new options) while keeping the rest of the book (the twenty pregenerated first-level characters and the adventure) to himself.
So if you're an iPad owner who's considering this supplement, you're definitely better off buying the PDF than the book. Others will have to judge how much the aesthetics of a beautifully published book from the publisher matters against the half price of the PDF.

Delta Green: The Last Equation

Date Added: 04/08/2011 12:30:53
Dennis Detwiller is the co-creator of Delta Green, so it should be no surprise that I'm recommending this scenario. I'm actually unfortunate not to have played the game, but, even if you're also not familiar with the system, you should at least read this if you enjoy horror roleplaying or modern horror. I was intimidated, at first, by the adventure. It starts open-ended, with several important, though modifiable NPCs. A bumbling group of players can easily run afoul of them, making this a short scenario. However, experienced Delta Green roleplayers should enjoy the challenge of working closely with the authorities while maintaining their cover. Dennis Detwiller's own site has several free downloads and I'm going to check them out right now!

INN-Teriors 1: The Raven Claw Inn

Date Added: 03/14/2011 21:03:16
When I purchased some maps and tile sets from the publishers of The World's Most Popular Roleplaying Game, I was sorta disappointed by the size of the inns. The quality and color was great, but some adventures just call for large, two-story inns with a basement. The Raven Claw Inn is a two-story inn, each story two pages across, and a half-page basement. The kitchen is in the basement, and upstairs has several shared bedrooms, including a dorm, though not a flophouse-style common area. Additional roofs have been included. You won't be able to make a 3-D model with just the roofs, but you can certainly use them as terrain for MageKnight or outdoor fantasy battles. Remember to download "Ravenlands 1 Freebie: Castle Raven Dungeon Level 1" if you haven't done so already. It's by the same creator and just as good.

This freebie is fantastic! Almost 2x4 printed pages of underground goodness! And, despite the generic-ish title, this map works just fine for *any* deserted castle or mansion basement, even suitable for a Call of Cthulhu game. The layout is less random sprawling dungeon, than a deserted floor of bedrooms and common areas. The map is suitable from anything from a random dungeon, to an orc barracks lair, to a decades-abandoned basement where forgotten secrets and horrible things dwell. The map also has plenty of detail, so is quite suited for exploration as well. Very good job!

The Spirit of the White Wyvern - Game Pack
0one Games

[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 03/14/2011 00:28:43
*SPOILER* Spirit of the White Wyvern is a timeline adventure set in a tavern. By timeline, I mean that certain events will happen during the period the party stays at the in. It's definitely a change from the usual "we go to the next room" location-based dungeon slogging of most adventures. The party wanders into a tavern, and is hired to drive out a ghost -- actually a red herring subplot for the real event, a settling of old scores between two old enemy organizations. Some of the side characters, including the ghost, are amusing, and the players get to have some combat in the end. While the adventure is officially for Pathfinder et al., the adventure is *very* easily adaptable to any adventure system of low-magic levels.
The adventure is accompanied by a black-and-white two story tavern map. The map's better than a wash-and-wipe board, but. if you have your own tavern map, you might as well use it for this adventure -- certainly you'll save printer ink. The adventure comes with black-and-white counters, but you're better off just using your own miniatures or tokens.

The Blackshire Mercenary Company
Necromancers of the Northwest
Cedric C.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 03/13/2011 21:17:06
Got guilds? Probably not. If you regularly play adventures for the World's Most Popular Roleplaying game, you're still leveling up and not knowing who your trainer is (if any), you're picking up adventures through rumors and strange people wandering up to you in a tavern, and your contacts for information are nonexistent. But if you're looking for a some medieval realism to inject into your fantasy, you'll want a guild. You'll want the guild to help train your adventurers. You'll want the guild to assign them tasks to do, and tell them of adventuring opportunities. They'll be there so your adventurers will find information. The Blackshire Mercenary Company does that, and more, an impressive breadth of useful "realistic" fantasy material in the background of your string of miscellaneous adventures. The depth of the material doesn't go beyond adventure seed level, and the stats are for OGL/d20/3.5/Pathfinder, but it's plenty for us gamemasters who know they want a guild, but don't know what to do next. The supplement has a history of the BMC, subplot seeds, hiring rates, guild membership benefits, vivid personalities, and a prestige class for BMC members. The authors intend to cover guilds for other classes as well, and I'm looking forward to it!

cut out trend Page 1
Can't Get Enough Cut-Outs: Show Some Skin In 11 Of Our Favorites
Cut-outs can be risky business. If they're done just right, they can turn an ordinary piece into something extraordinary.
POLL: How Do You Feel About Cut-Out Jeans?
When Lindsay Lohan began wearing — and soon thereafter selling — leggings with slits on the sides, we were instantly repelled. The cut out legging trend seemed tacky, to put it lightly, and we waiting anxiously for its reign to end. Luckily, not too many fashion forward folks embraced the trend. After seeing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the denim version of the cut out legging, one may have thought we'd have the same reaction — ew. But for some reason, we were left wondering, is it bad that we think this looks sort of cute?

Pirate Bay founder gets two-year sentence in hacking case
One of the founders of file-sharing site Pirate Bay will apparently spend a couple more years in jail.
Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was arrested last September on charges that he was part of a cyberattack against Logica, an IT outfit that manages tax documents and services for Swedish companies. Warg was accused of hacking into Logica, accessing records of thousands of people, and illegally transferring money, Reuters reported Thursday.
Prosecutors say he was able to grab 24,200 Danish crowns (almost $4,300) online and tried to transfer a total of 683,000 euros (almost $902,000) in a series of … Read more

SANTA CRUZ -- California sea otter fans around the world may soon have an up-close high-definition live stream of cuteness.
Wharton Media, a Santa Cruz digital creative studio that operates the educational website seaotters.com, began an online fundraiser campaign Aug. 24 for a video project that would train a remote-controlled high-definition camera on sea otters in Elkhorn Slough.
Unlike static live-feed cameras, this camera would allow staff to zoom in on the action when something cute is happening, said Drew Wharton, principal of Wharton Media and founder of the website seaotters.com. "We can fill the frame with individual animals and give the audience an up-close look of these animals in their natural habitat without disrupting them," said Wharton.
In the first week of its five-week Kickstarter campaign, the company has raised $7,759 toward its $27,000 goal, with a Sept. 30 deadline. According to Kickstarter's "all-or-nothing" rule, projects must reach their goal by their deadlines in order to receive any funds. Funding will go toward not only the live stream but also researcher- and naturalist-led live online events and a short film made from live stream highlights.
The campaign has attracted donors from places such as Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Munich. Wharton said that with the project he hopes to provide a fun way for people who may not have access to the coast to develop a connection to the otters and to nature.
"If we can use video and rich interactive experiences online to make that connection, that's how we want to make a difference," said Wharton.
The video project and seaotters.com website represent a collaboration between Wharton Media and research and government organizations such as UC Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay Aquarium and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to bring attention to an animal that has been listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act since 1977.
According to U.S. Geological Survey research wildlife biologist and UCSC adjunct biology Professor Tim Tinker, the sea otter is in a slow pattern recovery over the past 30 years, a pattern he expects to continue as long as there is protection of sea otters and their habitat.
"People generally have an idea that sea otters are threatened and they need our help to recover," said Tinker. "But what I think they often don't realize is how much we learn from sea otters and how much sea otters tell us about how marine systems work."
Because the otter is a top predator and relatively easy to observe, Tinker described the otter as a sentinel species that can tell scientists health of the ecosystem.
Tinker said he sees a strong need for outreach such as the video project.
"I think it's very easy for science to occur in the world of academia and for people not to be aware of the very interesting findings that occur there."
Wharton said he hopes to create that bridge between the scientific community and the general public. "For me, education and raising awareness is the first step in making a difference," said Wharton. "Whether it's from behind a camera or going out on a kayak into Elkhorn Slough, it really starts with education."

Hmm.. a lot of the CFD codes I've seen tend to be very application specific. With all finite element codes, specifying the model and the simulation environment (grid style, step sizes, time steps, etc.) is most of the battle, since the actual grunt work of running the model is actually pretty straight forward from a coding standpoint (although it consumes the vast majority of the processor cycles). But, then, this is no different than CGI.. it's specifying the model that's the hard part, not firing off the rendering. So, you might want to poke at all those CFD codes out there and see which ones are suited to what YOU are trying to model. Supersonic flow in a gas turbine isn't likely to be handled by the same code as modeling the flow of cooling air in a cluster server room or, for that matter, tornado simulator dynamics (which was MY foray into CFD). While this list isn't necessarily a great place to ask about the details of CFD codes (maybe it is, though), I'll bet that the folks on the list, if they don't know, they do know someone who does, and will get you started in the right direction.

Whenever I think of Gloria Steinem, I think of my dad.
I'm sure he'll cringe if or when he ever discovers I made the comparison, but I've been making him cringe since I was born. We are both well aware that the passage of time will never change that.
What the passage of time has changed is my perception about my dad, which grows more positive with each year. No matter what others might think of connecting him to Gloria Steinem, Dad will know that it's intended as a compliment.
What he probably won't understand is why.
Despite the fact that he and Gloria were both born in the spring of 1934 and both recently celebrated turning 79, their personalities and politics just aren't the same.
But ever since I heard Gloria speak at Marshall University in 2003, she has been forever linked with my dad.
I can't quote exactly what she said, but I can quote the essence of it: women aren't the ones we should be encouraging to become feminists – men are. In other words, women can't expect to occupy what was once a traditional man's world without men occupying what was once a traditional woman's world.
My dad got that.
As my parents tell the story, when they were first married my mom tried to be the perfect wife as defined by her parents and society. My dad didn't let her. He encouraged her to pursue her dreams rather than tradition. He didn't want someone who made him breakfast or washed his clothes. He wanted a partner and an equal. He knew that my mom wasn't happy in a traditional role, and he's the one person who encouraged her to step out of it.
And when she did, he eventually stepped into the world of being a stay-at-home parent. He took early retirement so there would be a cheerleader at his daughter's track meets and his son's speech tournaments.
He took over planning menus and cooking dinners while he still did lawn work and home repairs. He never let stereotypical gender roles or biases affect how he treated his children. My dad never even hinted that either of his children's opportunities would be limited because of their sex. He encouraged and championed my brother and me for being individuals and pursuing our own dreams and interests.
Because of that, he raised a feminist.
My brother works from home and tends to many of the household responsibilities and the daily activities of his daughter. I've watched him cook, clean and read bed time stories while encouraging and supporting his wife, a Biology professor. My brother has his own list of accomplishments, but ensuring his wife and daughter are smiling and get the attention they need is always at the top of his list.
Gloria Steinem is quoted as saying "I've yet to be on a campus where women weren't worried about some aspect of combining marriage, children and a career. I've yet to find one where men were worrying about the same thing."
Gloria Steinem has obviously never met the Bartletts.

PP Collector was hard mostly because I needed 100% on all of them. It helped when I finally realized you could still move when zoomed in with the camera.
Infinity mode is really hard =( |

I know I've definitely gotten on top of the truck Carlito crashes later on in the game. I haven't been able to get on top of a truck in any normal fashion. There might be an invisible wall since you can't even get on top of a car.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A Colorado Springs mother tells 11 News her daughter came face-to-face with a bear in their garage.
It happened on Sunday night near Woodmen Road and Dancing Horse Drive.
The bear came into the Lofblad's garage and tipped over the garbage can. That's when their 7-year-old daughter came out of the house to grab her scooter. She was surprised to be within five feet of the bear. The mother says her daughter stayed calm and backed into house. This isn't the first time the bear had been so close to their home.
"There have been a few sleepless nights, sometimes the kids go in my room, if we hear something in the house, we're worried the bear could come in, you hear stories of bears coming in," Madeline Lofblad said.
11 News talked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on Sunday night. They plan to take a full report. It's not clear if they will try to relocate the bear. They say bears will head into hibernation in mid-November. Wildlife experts say a bear's appetite will increase dramatically, in fact, eating up to 20,000 calories every day. That's the equivalent to 70 cheeseburgers.
The best thing to do to protect your family is to keep your garbage can inside your garage until the morning of pickup and keep the garage door shut. They also recommend cleaning out your BBQ grills and bird feeders.

ISHPEMING -- Buttons are now on sale for the 126th annual Ski Jumping Tournament at the Suicide Hill ski bowl in Ishpeming.
The tournament is set for February 6, and this year more than 20 jumpers from across the world will be participating. In addition to the competition, a bonfire and fireworks are all part of the tournament.
"It's kind of a community party. We get people that have been coming out for 50, 60 years," said tournament chairman Bob Hendrickson. "The tournament goes back to 1887, and it's just basically a good winter party that you can come out, enjoy the time, have some fun with people you know, and watch these jumpers come off the scaffolding."
The buttons are $15 for adults, $10 for students and children 12 and under are free. You can pick them up from a number of locations including Range Banks in the central Upper Peninsula.
This is the largest fundraiser for the Ishpeming Ski Club for the year.
