Guest Post: Why I Love WarMachine
So I've been a 40k player for almost 3 years, not a long time in 40k terms but long enough to say I've been around the block. However, recently GW has really been throwing us all curve balls so I began to think outside the box. I started looking for a new game back last September and found Warmachine/Hordes.
The college I went to has a somewhat nice gaming community of roughly 20 people so of course I wasn't alone in my endeavors. However the game never caught on so I painted my miniatures and they sat in waiting. Alas the day came roughly in May of this year when 5-7 people at school started to suggest Warmachine and buy into it. I jumped for joy at the thought of moving my money out of GWs product and into a bright new future.
I walked into the game store here in town one Thursday night with my Warmachine models and played a game and got smashed. BUT, I didn't feel like it was a waste. The game took an hour and a half giving me enough time for a second game. Both games were very different. I learned new strategies from throws to slams, tramples, headlocks, and I found myself applying them the following week. Both games though forced me to use my units completely different which is something that rarely happens to me in 40k. If my guns are not shooting in 40k they're not doing anything. Where in Warmachine my guns could be used as suicide troops to increase my stats or FOCUS. So here is what I've gathered from the game so far, I've played 12ish games with 3 different casters.
- Cheaper, this one is on the top of my list for a reason. 50 points for a starting army, 15 points isn't much but it's a great start. Also few people will tell you no I don't want to play a 15 point game. It's 50 bucks, well worth trying a new game. A new game > a landraider. - Models are beautiful, Sure a few of them are in the same poses. . .but aren't tact marines the same way?
Also the models feel like they have more care and pride in them. Less flashing, holes and slots for most of the attaching pieces to fit into, lastly "resins" that wont melt in your car. - Simple rules, the game can literally be taught in steps. PrivateerPress gives a "quick start rule set" in which you can play your games with then pick up the rulebook and say, "today we will learn throws." IMHO this is a great marketing tool, between a free quick start rule book and a cheap battle box there's not much to lose.
I gave 3 PROs so I'll even things out and give 3 CONs just to be fair. - Fewer Armies, many people play both Warmachine and hordes, however for 40k players we are sort of use to a mechanized feel. It's discouraging to think, Hmmm I can play Russians, undead things, WWII USA, Catholics (no offense), or elves. . . Sadly this is how I felt about the factions to until I started looking into casters, which slowly changed my mind.
- Really hard to photograph, we all love battle reports right? Warmachine is a bit more difficult to run a battle report on. The models are smaller and finely detailed so quick draw photography battle reports are hard to do. - Tournament scene, here's the one I hate the most. Tournaments for Warmachine are nowhere to be had. They're rare to say the least and not advertised like 40k tournaments are in my area.
On a closing note I wanted to run a few numbers for everyone to see the cost on average of a warmachine army. 15 points- starter box- 50 bucks+ dice + tape measure 25 points- Starter box+ 10 points= ~$60 (total 110) 35points- starter box+ 20 points= ~$140 (total 190)
50 points (2000 40k points)- starter box +35 points= ~$220 (total 270) If you think $300 dollars is too much for a 50 point warmachine army ask Sandy how much he spent on his 2k guard army. Happy gaming everyone.
I think that $300 even beats my BA Sanguinary Guard army. -SandWyrm

Calling the models "beautiful" is a bit of a stretch. Some of them look great. A lot of them...do not. I'm trying to be nice. You also didn't mention that most of the models are metal and are notorious for needing a lot of pinning to assemble.ReplyDelete
Aside from killing a caster ending the game no matter what the rules are excellent. The models, in my opinion, are the main weak point of PP.
"Catholics (no offense)"ReplyDelete
I should be offended. Then again...
I play =I=, and the religious zealots in WM were the most appealing to me as well. *shrugs*
I really don't like Steampunk, so that is a big part for me. That and the limited customization of each model.ReplyDelete
While I may not like the look of some models(Kazazy, i'm looking at you), I would put very few of them in the Robstercraw category.`ReplyDelete
a few cool models, but It's too much clique fantasy for me. and not done well like Warhammer Fantasy.ReplyDelete
by well I mean...I duno it just doesn't seem refined. I guess I just prefer sci fi.
Yeah...steampunk is gayer than Farmpunk (OOPS!)ReplyDelete
a couple of points i'd like to make on this :ReplyDelete
comparing the cost between the two systems just doesn't work. warmachine is essentially a platoon level game rather than 40k's company level game, so of course it will cost less. on a per-unit basis, they aren't that far off. and even if the entry into the game might be less, few people build perfect armies at the start. having built several large armies in both systems myself, i've found that they both tend to hurt just as bad after a while.
as with any game system, if you end up liking it you will end up spending a crapton of money on it.
some people don't like the look of the models, and some people do. the one thing i think most can agree on is that they are almost all technically well sculpted and made, albeit a pain to put together in some cases. those just getting in should be happy you gave plastic kits now.
there's also much less modeling freedom for the casual gamer. with the entire 40k range there are options and conversion available all over the place, whereas warmachine units have only 3-5 stock poses that are difficult to change.
the number of factions is pretty much the same. there are 11 standalone factions within warmachine/hordes, and while 40k has slightly more, the mercenaries, minions, caster changes, and themed lists in warmachine makes the number of effective and/or fun builds much higher. of course, this brings cost back up as even if you play a single faction, you'll probably end up building at least a couple of casters that each need you to buy more/different models to use best.
for me, the real selling point is the rules. while it can be overwhelming at times, the rules for the pp systems tend to be very clearly written with pretty clear procedures and methods for dealing with potential sticky spots. they've been able to find a balance between having a set of universal rules that apply to all, and having unit specific rules that change and enhance the game in subtle ways.
my biggest problem with the rules themselves has more to do with the hero centered part of it, but i just prefer grunts and massed unit clashes, which is why 40k will never leave my heart.
@ Da WarbossReplyDelete
in the grimdark far future, there is only soybean meal and pork belly. In a world where Decatur, IL has become the center of power... The Price Fixers RULE.
yeah, farmpunk as a genre sounds weird. I mean, pigs with laserguns? Next thing you'll be telling me that monkeys sprout weapons from their fingers. *heh*
Hey guys,ReplyDelete
Very nice comments I like the responses.
First the models. I find them beautiful for a lot of reasons. With a squad of 10 raiders you have 5 different poses in warmachine. . .where with 40k the standard tact squad is pretty standard at one pose for most of the models. I also find the beauty in the models through how they are sculpted. Many of the infantry are ornate with several buckles or straps of some type to paint.
I will give ground though and say they are hard to change poses on. . . by hard I mean impossible without reconstruction of the model as a whole. The way to solve this is through the jacks. The Plastic jacks kits are very easy to alter the stance or convert in some way. Also I find the challenge of pinning the metal models together exciting and love the challenge. 40k is great for all the bits they offer if you play an imperial army. However if you play xenos you feel more left out when a lot of your models dont get pretty little seals and things to adorn their "armor."
The scenarios for warmachine go further than just caster assassination. The issue is many people do not want to play any of the other scenarios because it requires them to think outside the box. Something 40k players have been use to for years.
I played a game of warmachine last night with a guy that plays a mech 40k army. He made a comment which struck me ass odd. I'm use to playing tyranids where the models are a swarm of infantry so moving tanks is not something i've ever encountered. The comment that shocked me that he made was as follows: "Moving infantry models is very difficult. I never noticed how much easier tanks are to move." SO if you are up for a challenge and want to try an infantry based game instead of buying an infantry 40k army try warmachine.
Lastly comparing prices of 40k to warmachine is fair. The reason I say that is I was comparing the price and points cost based on how long the games would take. 2k games take roughly 2-3 hours where a 50 point game can take 2 hours.

In today's fast growing fashion conscious world makeup is fast becoming the norm for many men today. Everyday makeup is no longer a trend that is only acceptable for women only. Men also have appearance flaws that can be corrected with the application of just a small bit of makeup. How men feel about how they look, building their self esteem is every bit as important as it is for women.
For years it's been accepted that male movie stars and models wear makeup, so it seems a logical progression that the everyday Joe should also enjoy that privilege. Just because a man wears makeup does not mean he must belong to a certain sexual persuasion. Definitely not! Further more it's totally misplaced to even think so.
|The days when a man's travel case only contained deodorant, shaving cream and hair gel are long gone. Now it is perfectly normal and acceptable for men to wear appearance-enhancing products to feel good and confident about how they look. It's true that some guys may be a little slow to warm up to the idea of skin care and makeup, health clubs were the first step to discover that there is nothing better than a relaxing facial, so we are confident it won't be too long before everyone will be embracing the concept of makeup for men.Women often wear makeup to glamorize whereas for men the main focus is to conceal. It might be a nick from the razor, dark circles under their eyes or a zit that requires being hidden for appearance's sake. Even older men are getting into the practice of concealment by using products to deal with wrinkles like crow's feet and smile lines.
The exciting news is that Cazcarra London and Ten Image Professional Cosmetics have worked hard to put together a line of makeup and skin care products specifically for men. Check out the exquisite "Selected for Men" range products, give these amazing products a try and see and feel the difference.

Work to repair more than 40 miles of drought damaged roads in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will start next month.
The scheme, which will include 21 sections of road has been made possible thanks to a successful joint bid by Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council to the Department for Transport.
A total of £3.5million was secured for the scheme, which will repair 10 sections of road affected by extreme weather conditions in Peterborough and another 11 in Cambridgeshire from December until June 2018. This fund has been topped up by both councils bringing the total investment to £6.25million.
It will mean a long-term approach to the maintenance of these roads and will mean all work can be carried out in one go, preventing the need for repeated costly repairs and extra disruption for drivers.
Most of the work will involve major road reconstruction, which will include repairing down to the foundation layers in some cases. General maintenance of vegetation, drainage, signage and road markings will also be carried out alongside this work.
Although the roadworks will only be carried out during daylight hours, due to the extensive nature of the work, the roads will be fully closed for the duration of each scheme (24 hour closures). Diversions will be signposted and local access maintained wherever possible.
The schemes will be carried out as quickly as possible and letters will be delivered to local residents and businesses in advance of the work.
Roads that will benefit from the funding, along with approximate timings of the work, are listed below:
- B1167 French Drove, Thorney - 04/12/17 for three weeks
- B1040 Crowland Road, Thorney - 04/12/17 for one week
- B1443 Thorney Road, Newborough – due to start February for 2 weeks
- Pearces Road, Fengate - 08/01/18 for one week
- B1443 Bukehorn, Thorney - 10/01/18 for two weeks
- B1040 Whittlesey Road (North of Thorney Dyke), Thorney – due to start January 2018 for three weeks
- B1167 Wisbech Road, Thorney - 08/01/18 for three weeks
- B1167 New Cut (East Wryde to Wallace Drove) – due to start January 2018 for two weeks
- B1167 New Cut (English Drove to French Drove) - due to start January 2018 for two weeks
- B1040 Station Road, Thorney – due to start February 2018 for two weeks
- A1101 Mildenhall Rd, Littleport – due to start at the end of January for around six weeks
- B1040 Heme Road, Ramsey – due to start in February
- B1095 Milk and Water Drove, Farcet – due to start in February
- B1104 Prickwillow Road, Isleham – due to start in March
- A1123 Stretham Road, Wicken – due to start in March
- B1040 Ramsey Road, Whittlesey – due to start in March
- B1382 Mile End Road, Prickwillow – due to start in April
- A142 Stuntney, Ely – due to start in April
- B1096 Benwick Road, Ramsey – due to start at the end of April
- A1123 Hill Row Causeway, Haddenham – due to start in May
- B1040 St Marys Road, Ramsey – due to start in May
Cllr Peter Hiller, cabinet member for growth, planning, housing and economic development at
Peterborough City Council said: "Thanks to the joint grant from the Department for Transport we have been able to push ahead with this programme of works which are greatly needed on our rural roads in Peterborough.
"It means we are able to make repairs to sections of road damaged by extreme weather conditions at minimum cost to the city council."
Cambridgeshire County Council's Chair of the Highways and Community Infrastructure Committee, Councillor Mathew Shuter said: "Following our successful bid we will be repairing roads that have been affected by extreme weather conditions across fenland areas in Cambridgeshire.
"This additional funding will enable us to take a long-term approach to the maintenance of these roads, reducing the need for repeated costly reactive repairs and extra disruption for drivers."
Cambridgeshire County Council, Peterborough City Council and its contractor Skanska are working together to minimise disruption to local residents and those who use the roads.
More information on each scheme will be published on these pages throughout the coming months.

Topic: VST-EXT idea
So... MIDI-EXT has been the main way of creating light effects for Launchpads for quite some time now. However, the fatal flaw in it (to me, anyway) is that it requires Max for Live. I use Live Lite, mostly because I can't currently afford Standard + Max for Live or Suite. So my idea was, "Hey, why can't there just be a VST version of MIDI-EXT?". It's a great idea, because all you really need to do is send midi data through the plugin, and then out to the Launchpad (Top Lights Plugin could also be implemented, but that's going super deep so I'm not gonna talk about it). However, I have NO IDEA how to code VSTs, so I thought throwing the idea out here would be a good idea. So, if there's any way you could help me out with this endeavor, that would be great.

MLM Home Videos
This woman will document the life of her kids through MLM home videos:
Not too bad – she's just taking her kids to an aquarium. Forget that she's hocking some "Mastermind Tricks" scam in public. Let's watch another.
Ah, Viral Success Network! Sounds like she moved on from Mastermind Tricks. Hmm… hang on a second… kid on a trampoline. Nothing can go wrong while she's filming this video.
She's at the Hall of Science because she doesn't have to be in a cubicle. Hmmm…
Look, I'm not going to say being with your kid is a bad thing. When she asks "Is this what you want to be doing?" – if the answer isn't a resounding "No" then you're some kind of masochist. I'd love to spend $20 to go to a museum and use my kids as a prop for hocking my MLM! Sounds like a dream come true!

William Woods University's Student Alumni Council (SAC) is putting the final touches on 2014 Courtwarming. During the week of Feb. 3, students will have many opportunities to show their school pride.
The community, too, will be able to get involved during this year's "Red, White, and Blue at WWU," which includes tributes to the military.
The week kicks off Monday with a banner competition between residence halls. On Tuesday, Tucker Dining Hall plans to serve an all-American lunch while students vote for their king and queen.
Wednesday will test the athleticism of each residence hall with various basketball games in Anderson Arena.
According to junior class president Benjamin Streumph, SAC has ideas for students to give back and to get the community involved on the festivities, as well.
On Thursday, students will have the opportunity to write thank you letters to soldiers during lunch in the Nielson room.
During Friday's pep rally and court games, students can bring two canned goods for SERVE to receive their Courtwarming t-shirt.
Saturday's Courtwarming games are intended to honor our country and those who have served it with Military Appreciation, said Streumph. Local veterans and their families will receive free admission to the games with a valid military I.D.
Student Alumni Council hopes for a big outcome to this year's Courtwarming week. The members have combined new community outreach efforts with the traditions of WWU, including the pep rally and spirit dress days. Students are encouraged to dress in an American-themed style each day during the festivities:
- Tuesday: Red, White and Blue
- Wednesday: WWU Gear
- Thursday: Camo
- Friday: America

When you're hovering 30 something thousand feet in the air inside of a synthetically engineered metal bird, all you can honestly think about, is death. Let's face it. No one wants to admit the morbid fuckeries that are lingering around our brains while we are unnaturally up in the sky because that's just too real and since we are also wizards, I guess if we think it out loud it will probably happen right? Oh please. Do you even know how many times I've thought out loud about being a multi-billionaire? Yea. My account is currently overdrawn by like 40$ thanks to some bullshit that happened while being out of the country but this post isn't about that so just drop it Susans of the world.
With regards to this whole flying on airplanes stuff? Humans clearly weren't designed to fly because if the Universe wanted us to fly, it would've created us with wings amiright? Do we have wings? Do we chirp and sleep in tree branches and eat worms all day? No. Well. I mean… to each his own but I speak for the general population when I say no we do not sirs and madams. And that leads me to the conclusion that we are therefore, forcing shit against mother nature's will and laughing in her face like 'ha ha lady! We got smarter than you, we win!' Except every now and then, particularly when she's on her period, she gets all 'yea well, haha dumbasses, there goes your plane…straight to the ground so who gets the last laugh now?'
Ok ely- Shut up. I apologize, but right now- my chest is tighter than your grandmothers screwed-in false teeth, my ears are as clogged as a chain-smoker's arteries and my anxiety is another 30 thousand feet higher into the atmosphere than the clouds that are being broken into by this plane right now. I need to talk about this. I just do. This is happening. I'm nauseous and my entire life is on this airplane. On the "brighter" side and in all honesty, if we all die- then I suppose we die together and none of us would have suffered, or even known it even happened right? That's pretty dark, damn. But you should know by now that stepping into my mind is the equivalent of stepping into a candle-lit haunted house and there's a circus of fun weird shit happening in every direction- it's exciting and scary all at once. Also? There's unlimited cotton candy and Xanax, compliments of yo girl right here. So you're welcome. Enjoy the show. Don't poop yourselves.
I haven't been on an airplane in over 11 years- and this is a first for my little ones, so there you have it. I'm a rookie flyer and I'm just always a nervous wreck when it comes to my kids. Like how do we save them from the world? It's an overwhelming feeling to have this NEED to wrap them up tightly and put them inside of my body and keep them away from everything in the world that could hurt them, forever.
And whenever a ding goes off through the loudspeaker or we fly through a patch of clouds and the ride gets a little turbulent- I'm pretty sure I stop breathing entirely and my palms sweat profusely. It's only a 2 hour flight. I'd never fucking make it to Europe guys. I'm not built for this.
Next time I think I'll walk. Says the girl with dreams to travel the world.
Also? I can't stop thinking about the lady who recently got sucked through one of the windows from this altitude I mean first of all- have you SEEN the actual size of these windows? How in hell could a human body fit through this? They're like as wide as a new born puppy and as long as- I don't know- I'd say about 16 inches long? I mean I guess the pressure, but it just seems so fucking BRUTAL and bloody! Why am I thinking of this right now?! I don't know- I'm killing time here. Just keep reading and hope that by the time I finish this post I'd landed safely in Miami. Which I dearly miss. Surprisingly AF.
We are about to land (I've been typing this in my notes section in bits and pieces -dependent upon on my level of anxiety and light-headedness- and right now there there's this breathtaking view of the of skies and seas blending into one whole. One whole….existence. It's pretty calming, actually.
I can see home now! My left leg can't stop jumping up and down. I'm ready to get OFF this metal bird.
Ok now I'm nauseous again-hold on.
Ok. I'm ok now. Thanks for waiting. Though I get the feeling you didn't "wait" since there's no actual commercial break in a blog post.
You know, these past 7 days were ridiculously amazing- we were in paradise in an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. For the kids and I, it was our First time leaving the country and a super humbling experience. Per the usual foreign fuckeries there were tiny bits and pieces I wasn't overly excited about and if I could go back- I'd do a few things differently, specifically regarding my wedding, like- not be so fat and stuff like that- but overall, we all did things we've never done before, and created so many phenomenal memories as a family. I'll save the details of the trip for a separate post- there's so much to share! For now-
I can see the ground people!
Mostly this was a "I need to distract myself" and "if I die these will be my last words" type of post- but it looks like we've made it home alive. A little sunburned, and a whole lot of exhausted, but nevertheless very much alive. Phew.

One of the things I'm going to start asking about in interviews - just so someone starts thinking about it as a possibility since I've not encountered it anywhere else - is whether the university in question offers any sort of student loan assistance. I continue to think that schools are going to have to figure out ways to support junior faculty with mounting loan debts, and maybe if enough people ask, it'll become an option. I actually floated a proposal to our union rep here (as I was trying to guard him in ultimate frisbee), and he seemed to think my idea was both and good and doable: that universities could offer a percent of salary each year to faculty towards their student loan debts the same way they towards 401k's.
Each year a faculty member stays, that amount would go up a little bit. Even if such a program only went through tenure, it would have the potential of putting a decent dent in someone's student loan debt. My thought is that, particularly at small schools like the one I'm at, it would be a way of attracting candidates and keeping them. Has anyone heard of something like that being offered? Or feel like taking up the challenge and asking about something similar when you're interviewing?

Gilles Paquet-Brenner's Sarah's Key is a very good film that ought to have been a great film, but greatness ultimately proves beyond its grasp—if only just. It is without a doubt a worthy film (the word inescapably clings to it) and it is certainly worth seeing, but it should be noted going in that it comes equipped with a problem it can't surmount.
The story concerns an American journalist, Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas), living in Paris with her French husband, Bertrand Tezac (Frédéric Pierrot, I've Loved You So Long). She gets an assignment to research and write a long article about the 1942 Vel' d'Hiv Roundup, in which the French police rounded up 8,000 Jews, placed them in conditions that would have done the Nazis themselves proud, transported them to French-controlled concentration camps, and finally sent most of them to Auschwitz. This is a far cry from our usual image of France in World War II, but few of us know much—if anything—about the Pétain government that came into being under the Nazi occupation.
Julia knows something about this era and has written about it before, but this time something unexpected occurs. As she digs into the history, she begins to suspect that the apartment that she and her husband are having renovated and plan to move into—one that's been in her husband's family for years—was once the home of Jews who were taken away during the roundup. Not only does she discover that this is true, but that at least some of the older surviving members of the family are fully aware of the apartment's history, and remember the story of Sarah (Mélusine Mayance), the little girl who hid her little brother from the police in a locked cupboard in the apartment just as she she and the rest of her family were carted away.
The film—which is structured as a kind of mystery story—moves smoothly and effectively between the modern era and its wartime flashbacks. All of this is good. Equally good is the fact that the film sugar coats none of its tragedy, nor does it topple over into easy general condemnation of the French for allowing this to happen. At one point, Julia even asks her horrified colleagues, "How do you know what you would have done?" And the truth is that unless you were there, you don't—nor do you know how much you would have known about what was going on. The film is also on very solid ground as it traces Sarah's story through the war and up to the present—and how it continues to impact those connected to it even today.
At this point, you may be wondering why I say the film just misses greatness. Well, it's not content to leave its story at this. No, it has to drag in a subplot about Julia's unexpected pregnancy and the turmoil this causes between her and her husband. In itself, there's nothing wrong with this, but it feels so awfully thin up against the central story that it seems an unnecessary intrusion. It certainly does nothing to enrich the film.
But even with that in mind, Sarah's Key has much going for it. The entire cast is good, not just the always-interesting Kristin Scott Thomas. Mélusine Mayance, who plays young Sarah, comes very near to giving Thomas a run for her money as the most impressive performer in the film—which is no mean feat. Rated PG-13 for thematic material including disturbing situations involving the Holocaust.

Sisters and Brothers:
I wish to update you concerning the negotiations between the City and DC 47 and clarify an issue, in response to questions that have been raised by other members.
First of all, we will be asking for a contract extension, since we still do not have a contract and negotiations are currently at a standstill. Right now, the Union is still waiting for responses from the City for information we requested.
In terms of the process, I want to clarify that the leadership of Locals 2186 and 2187 requested several subcommittees be established, to discuss specific areas of the contract. This includes – pensions, health and welfare, policy and personnel matters. The City and DC 47 (including representatives from each local) have representatives that will meet and discuss these concerns, in order to try and come to an agreement on these areas. These subcommittees meet, discuss, and reach an agreement before we go back to the bargaining table, to discuss and try to reach an agreement on the entire contract.
We have agreed to dates for these subcommittees to meet and look forward to this aspect of the negotiations to begin next month.

French horn player Shelagh Abate '97
At five minutes to 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon in late August, Shelagh Abate takes her seat in the orchestra pit of New York City's Marquis Theatre, at Broadway and 46th Street. The show is Evita, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical biography of Evita Perón, starring Ricky Martin and Elena Roger. The 1,611-seat theater is packed.
In the pit—a well-worn space that barely accommodates the show's 17 musicians—the atmosphere is relaxed. Orchestra rules stipulate all-black clothing; the violinist is in a cocktail dress and heels, the trombonist in T-shirt and toe socks. Abate, the lone French horn, opts for business-casual in slacks and a sweater.
She takes a last sip of water—she'll go through two bottles before the show is over—and it's curtains up. Evita is all music, no dialogue. The orchestra won't stop playing for the next hour.
Like many working musicians, Abate is agile. She plays with the Triton Brass Quintet, which she cofounded in Boston, and the Vermont Symphony, where she is the principal horn. She sits in with the Brazilian/Cuban jazz big band Panamericana in New York. She has played with Joni Mitchell and Placido Domingo, and you can hear her in the Coca-Cola commercial at AMC cinemas and on NFL Films soundtracks. Abate's husband is a professional musician too (trumpet in the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark orchestra). "We live like vampires," she says. "We work at night, every night. If one of us had a 9-to-5 job, we'd never be in the house at the same time."
Abate fell for the French horn at fourth grade band tryouts. At Boston College, she majored in music, then earned a master's at UMass-Amherst and a Artist Diploma at the New England Conservatory. In 2005 she moved to New York, and within the year a conductor, impressed by her work as a substitute on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, gave her a contract for Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White. The production flopped, but Abate's career was launched. Other Broadway credits include Mary Poppins and Wicked.
Act One finishes at the Evita matinee—the seventh of eight weekly shows—and the orchestra takes 10 minutes to cool off, chat, and grab a quick snack backstage. The stage manager peeks in. "Are we places?" asks the violin. "We're places," says the manager. Abate heads back to her chair and the start of Act Two.

Okay, so news: After some deliberation I settled on Natalie's suggestion for a name "Mini Maidens", though I have to mention that DotRot's suggestion of "Faye and the Holidaze" was probably the one that made me laugh the hardest. I have a soft spot in my heart for alliteration. I want to thank everyone for entering, since I hate naming things.
{Click Here for a PDF to Print} {Click Here for a PNG to Print} {Click Here for the Rest of the Series}
Greta is the new Mini Maiden and she shares a face with the Valentine's day doll. I've made a new category for the Mini-Maidens with separate subcategories for Faye and Greta, since those are the two members at the moment. Passover in on the horizon, but I don't think I'll be doing a Passover paper doll. Though a mini-bowl of matzo ball soup might be worth it…
Anyway, I hope everyone likes the Mini Maidens and their new place among the serial dolls on the site. They aren't on the Index page yet. With one thing and another last night, I forgot to make them an icon, but they'll be added soon.

Best of luck in your playoff matchup!
It's hard to overlook a matchup against the New Orleans pass defence. They've given up the most passing touchdowns in the NFL (27), and give up 297 yards per game through the air.
Freeman has eight multi-touchdowns in the Buccaneers' last nine games.
Season Total: 231/422, 3192 yards, 25 TDs, 8 INTs
32 carries, 112 yards
The Bears need Cutler to play well to stay on top of the NFC Wildcard race, but the odds are stacked against him this week. Cutler is battling back from a neck injury and must go against the stingy Packers defence.
He should only be started if you're really desperate this week.
Season Total: 213/356, 2,495 yards, 16 TDs, 13 INTs
32 carries, 187 yards
Green-Ellis is averaging 5.4 yards per carry over the Bengals' last four games. He's been racking up fantasy points away from the end zone, which is unusual for a touchdown threat of his stature.
If he gets a steady helping of carries against Philadelphia, Green-Ellis will be a solid No. 2 option. And a touchdown isn't out of the question.
Season Total: 238 carries, 974 yards, 5 TDs
21 catches, 104 yards
The Texans will provide a difficult challenge for the inexperienced Ballard. Houston has given up just three rushing touchdowns and allowed just one 100-yard rusher all season.
Ballard has one touchdown all year and just two games with more than 80 rushing yards. He should be nothing more than a flex option for your team this week.
Season Total: 146 carries, 562 yards, 1 TD
15 carries, 143 yards, 1 TD
Wilson exploded on to the scene last week against New Orleans when he stepped in for an injured Ahmad Bradshaw. He had two rushing touchdowns and added another on a kick-off. Bradshaw could miss Sunday's game or be limited dramatically, so expect Wilson to make the most of his touches.
The Falcons are the ninth-worst run defence in the league, giving up an average of 127 yards on the ground per game.
Season Total: 41 carries, 211 yards, 3 TD
2 catches, 8 yards
No one can ever be confident that Sproles is going to get carries. He had his first carries since Week 8 last week and made the most of it, but with Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram in the backfield, touches are still hard to come by.
Sproles' real value is in the passing game, but it's best to have tempered expectations with that being the case.
Season Total: 31 carries, 173 yards, 1 TD
55 catches, 463 yards, 5 TDs
Steve Smith has had his share of ups and downs this season, much like his quarterback Cam Newton. But Newton has found his groove in recent weeks and Smith has benefitted to the tune of 229 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks.
The Chargers are tied with the Saints for the most touchdowns (18) given up to wideouts this season.
Season Total: 60 catches, 999 yards, 2 TDs
Many fantasy owners expected Jennings to turn in a solid performance against Detroit with Jordy Nelson out, but he had just one catch for 27 yards. Randall Cobb has caught the eye of Aaron Rodgers in the passing game.
Jennings is still trying to find that next level since returning from his hamstring injury.
Season Total: 17 catches, 151 yards, 1 TD
Colin Kaepernick seems to have found his favourite weapon in Crabtree, throwing his way 11 times in each of the last two games. Crabtree has made the most of it, hauling in 16 catches for 194 yards.
Crabtree should be a big factor in the 49ers offence this week as they try to counter the Patriots juggernaut offensive attack.
Season Total: 66 catches, 761 yards, 5 TDs
The Seahawks secondary has tormented opposing quarterbacks all season long. Johnson will likely go up against Richard Sherman, who has proven to be one of the most difficult to cornerbacks to beat in the NFL.
Johnson has struggled to find the end zone over the last few weeks, and it only gets tougher this weekend against Seattle.
Season Total: 61 catches, 776 yards, 5 TDs
Myers has a down performance against the Broncos last week, reeling in just one catch for seven yards, but it seems to be a deviation from what he has done all season. He had five catches or more the five weeks beforehand.
The Chiefs are average against tight ends, but Myers has been one of Carson Palmer's favourite targets. He's a solid starting option this week.
Season Total: 70 catches, 728 yards, 4 TDs
Over the last five weeks, Pitta has three games with at least five catches and a touchdown. But in between those three solid performances, Pitta has two games with only one catch.
It's been hit or miss with Pitta, and starting him this week comes with great risk.
Season Total: 50 catches, 488 yards, 5 TDs

White Fur Flying
White Fur Flying
Patricia MacLachlan writes another extraordinary book, WHITE FUR FLYING. It's a book that explores the healing process and how people, and even animals, can help one another. The author deeply loves dogs and children --- that message always comes across in her books. Dogs and children take center stage in WHITE FUR FLYING.
"WHITE FUR FLYING illustrates how people and animals have this incredible ability to work together to help one another."
The story starts off with Alice, the family storyteller, spinning a tale about an evil queen who punishes her children. Alice always bases her stories on her surroundings. In this case she spies a new neighbor, Phillip, moving in next door. He is being ushered in by his aunt who is a well-polished woman. Meanwhile the narrator, Zoe, tells her mom that she shouldn't be neighborly and invite the aunt over to their house because the woman doesn't look like she could stand fur on her clothes. Zoe's house has a ton of fur because her mom takes in Great Pyrenees dogs that need new home. Her mom isn't the only one who takes in strays. The dad, a veterinarian, can't resist bringing home a parrot that needs a new home.
The mom invites the aunt and Phillip over to their house anyway. Zoe's mom is very insightful and wants to learn more about her newest neighbors. While the aunt and Phillip are over, they discover that the boy is unusual because he doesn't speak. Phillip's aunt takes him to live with them until his parents solve their problems. Alice introduces Phillip to the parrot. Squawking out a greeting makes Phillip laugh, but he remains silent.
One day Zoe and her parents see Phillip talking to the dog, Kodi. They realize that Phillip may not have anything to say to people, but he sure has something on his mind that he wants to share. Kodi, like Phillip, is silent and just lets the boy be himself with no assumptions of how he should behave or what's normal. The dog is unconditional in its support for Phillip. Anyone who has had a dog knows that a pooch will come up for a cuddle when you need it the most. Dogs let people heal at their own pace. Sometimes people feel safer around animals because they don't have to reveal their inner feelings or insecurities. Dogs are friendly and loving. Plus they never tell others your secret feelings.
Zoe's mom brings home a new dog to rescue. The dog, Jack, escapes one stormy night filled with rain, thunder and hail. Meanwhile the aunt rushes over, asking if Phillip is there. Both the dog and the boy are gone. It's such a scary night to be out alone that Zoe knows that she must search for them. She searches the yard, runs across a meadow and into a neighbor's barn desperately looking for them.
WHITE FUR FLYING illustrates how people and animals have this incredible ability to work together to help one another. The book demonstrates how children and animals are sometimes best suited to help care for others because they are so innocent and naturally want to please others. Space to heal is a precious gift. Phillip is lucky; between the dogs, neighbors and even his aunt, he is able to take the time he needs to sort out his problems. I feel that this book will touch children in a meaningful way. WHITE FUR FLYING is a book about a hope that children will want to read about.

A Panorama of the World Trade Center SiteBy Fred R. Conrad
A view of the south memorial pool at ground zero with 4 World Trade Center rising above newly planted white oak trees and 1 World Trade Center beyond the pool. The temporary wooden barrier is where the names of the victims of 9/11 will be placed. As part of the design, a system is being installed that will keep the temperature of the bronze name panels constant regardless of the weather, according to a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
A look back at the pools as they were in July 2010 (not 2005, as originally written in this post).
The S.S. World Trade Center Sets SailBy David W. Dunlap and Fred R. Conrad
Whatever the antique vessel was, and whenever in the 18th century it arrived on the Lower Manhattan waterfront, one thing can be said almost certainly: Its journey in was easier than its journey out.
The vessel was discovered by workers on July 13, about 20 to 30 feet below street level, during the excavation of a site bounded by West, Washington, Liberty and Cedar Streets. This area — which had not been disturbed during the construction of the original World Trade Center — will one day house the vehicle ramps leading to the network of roadways, loading areas and parking spaces under the new World Trade Center.

Behind the Lens: A Coda for 9/11By Fred R. Conrad
Flags were everywhere that week. On Sept. 14, I had taken pictures of people with flags all over town, all day long. By the end of the day, I just wanted to go home. I got on the ferry to Hoboken, N.J. When I disembarked, I saw a flag at half-staff, sticking up from an old pier. Behind it was our altered skyline.
I stared at this flag for a while. It was different from all those flags I had photographed all day. This one gave me a flash of understanding.
I knew I would be going home soon, where my daughters would jump around and greet me, as usual.
But staring at that flag made me realize that nothing would ever be the same again.
This is the last in our series of personal accounts by journalists who covered the Sept. 11 attacks for The Times. This one was originally published in the early editions of Sunday, Sept. 16, 2001.

Hello Readers Mine! We're almost through the thirty day push to get the episode guides for Seasons 1 - 5A to the folks at ECW Press, and that means I've been spending a good deal of time rewatching, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on one of Season 5A's most memorable episodes. Hope you enjoy!
|Todd (Jesse Plemons) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) in "Dead Freight" (5.04).
Season 5 has seen Breaking Bad return to a focus on family, and widen the lens to include several different kinds of family. Walt still insists that everything he has done over the past four seasons has all be for his own family, while Hank and Marie are discovering that they enjoy being parents, and are working hard to help Skyler and Walt sort things out. Skyler, on the other hand, has no intention of working things out with Walt, but is willing to do anything to protect her children. However, Gilligan & Co. have quietly developed several other families which now at least in part guide the actions of the central characters. Mike only agrees to go into business with Walt in order to keep his men in prison quiet by getting the money they need to take care of their families. Mike himself is putting all of his "hazard pay" into a massive trust fund for his much loved granddaughter Kaylee. Jesse continues to support Andrea and Brock even after he and Andrea have split up, because they've become his "instant family." Finally, and perhaps most unexpectedly, Lydia continues to reveal a truly fierce loyalty and love for her daughter, becoming most distraught when contemplating her little girl being left alone in the world. The ties binding these people together are intricate and dangerous, and go to show that, in Breaking Bad, there are no free agents, no one who can go down without hurting "innocents." In fact, everything the central characters do winds up hurting someone, somewhere.
Despite a daring train robbery presented with all of the skill and suspenseful drama of The Italian Job or The Thomas Crown Affair, at the heart of "Dead Freight" is the truth that, no matter how good they are, no matter how pure their intentions, no matter how much control they are able to exercise, what Walt, Jesse, and Mike do kills people, and there is no avoiding it. The boy on the dirt-bike is a classic example, and his brief arc is carefully crafted down to the smallest details. Sound is vital in this episode. The roar of the kid's bike blocks out everything else, particularly through his protective helmet. It is only because he saw and stopped to capture a tarantula that he dismounts, takes off his helmet, and lets his bike idle at a much quieter rate. This in turn stops him just long enough and makes things just quiet enough, that he hears the train-whistle in the distance. The careful attention to sound effects in the cold open is mirrored in the final scene of the episode, where, the theft of 1000 gallons of methylamine successfully completed, Walt, Jesse, and Todd hoot, holler, and celebrate before turning off the motor to the water-pump only to hear a softer but similar sound in the idling of the kid's bike.
What follows is a brilliant use of what TV scholars call intertextuality, when an actor well known for a particular role carries the audience's memory of that role over into a new one. Here Jesse Plemons, best known for his role as Landry Clarke on Friday Night Lights, a lovable, loyal, truly good young man, is seen to gun down a young kid. Though the viewer is well aware that Plemons is playing a different character in Todd, seeing an actor associated so strongly with a good guy do something so unforgivable heinous makes the murder of the boy even more shocking. Within the narrative, this is Jesse's worst nightmare come true, for it was he who told Todd that absolutely no one could ever know about the robbery, which Todd understandably interpreted as instructions to ensure that no one would ever know. Like Gus Fring telling his street-dealers "No more children" in "Half Measures" (3.12), Jesse's unthinking words have led directly to the death of a child. Jesse is suddenly much further on the road to becoming that which he hates, and thus to breaking bad completely.
