Valentines Pins for Verna's
Here are 2 sample pins I made for a launch I am doing Jan 26 in Dresden, ON. A store called Verna's Sewing Centre is coming online as our first Crown Jewel dealer. We are having an open-house to launch the dealership. As part of the fun we will be making Valentines Pins using Kanzashi flower makers and Heart-shaped yo-yo makers. How cute!
Thinking of Easter
So here it is, Boxing Day 2012, and I am thinking of....Easter! I need some small projects to do with my BabyLock dealers for spring or Easter. I was searching the internet and I can accross this great tutorial to make fabric easter eggs. Here is the link, and here is my first attempt.
Well today was a very exciting day. I opened my new BabyLock Unity, which I will be using for all my home sewing. What a fabulous machine. 11 1/4" throat, laser stylus and dual feed walking foot. This machine is incredible! Check out the close up of the dual-feed foot. This is a close as you can get to a differential feed for a sewing machine. You can feed the upper fabric at a different speed than the lower fabric, for a perfect match. Great for sewing together different weights of fabrics, or matching stripes/plaids. It can also sew through extremely thick fabric with no problems.
The laser stylus can be used to set a stop point, set the width of a decorative stitch, and can be used for embroidery plecement (more on that later).
What a great machine!

I am making up these cute little corsages; I am using the Kanzashi Orchid flower maker, attaching a jingle bell with a bit of ribbon and a button at the centre. A badge pin on the back and voila! A cute little Christmas pin.
I've been doing all kinds of things with these flower makers; I made a hat and scarf from polar fleece and attached some large and small flowers, and made a candle mat and attached some flowers and leaves. These are great fun to work with. I can't beleive how long it took me to discover them.

King Kenny's back at Liverpool, now he has to deal with Torres
And his most important task is to get Fernando Torres playing something like his former self -- or ship him out while he'll still fetch a fee worth having. Though Sunday's meeting with Manchester United was all storylines and no soccer, Kenny Dalglish will have been encouraged by the performance of his players, even after going a man down to a rash challenge by Steven Gerrard with an hour to play. Yes, United preserved its dubiously gotten lead without doing much worth televising, but Liverpool was energetic enough not to be written off until the closing minutes.
Sidestepping the inevitable conclusion that at least some of the team wasn't giving its all under Roy Hodgson, back to Torres: Surrounded by endeavor, his lack of spirit stood out badly. Isolated up front alone? Perhaps, but remember when we didn't have to make excuses for him? Before the sending-off and intermittently afterward, the supply was there, but Torres' first touch and on-his-heels disposition helped Jonny Evans (first appearance since November) appear half decent. Torres looked excited to see his number on the board that introduced David N'Gog in the 77th minute. The fact that the substitution prompted no reported choking incidents speaks volumes about how times have changed.
With UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules looming like a tax return, we could see previously spendthrift clubs investing more faith in promising young players, and plenty of them showed over the weekend that they're up for it. There will be far tougher challenges than manager-less Championship-struggler Ipswich Town, but Josh McEachran's performance for Chelsea in central midfield positively sparkled -- showing, as he did against Marseille recently, a reliable eye for a pass.
At 17, he may not be pivotal to Carlo Ancelotti's plans (especially as Frank Lampard is hitting form), but up front, Daniel Sturridge, 21, confirmed that he's been waiting on the sidelines for too long. Having put five past Tottenham in a midweek reserves match, Sturridge made Didier Drogba's absence through injury no handicap at all. He surely deserves the chance to prove himself similarly capable in the Premier League.
Speaking of Tottenham, 19-year-old Andros Townsend made an encouraging debut in a 3-0 win over Charlton, marrying audacity with accuracy and scoring the first goal from range. Danny Rose, who scored against Arsenal last season and hasn't been seen in north London since, is a cautionary tale here, but Townsend's directness, if it comes with a consistent end product, would give Harry Redknapp genuine depth on the right side of midfield.
And a final word for Liverpool's Martin Kelly who, like his United counterpart, Rafael da Silva, had an excellent game at right back. He's been a bit player this season but, having shown himself to be defensively robust and offensively reliable in a tough environment Sunday, deserves a run in the team ahead of Glen Johnson -- or perhaps behind him, if Johnson can be converted to a wing role that would offer Liverpool a bit more width.
"Ah, that is the beauty of the FA Cup." It's a well-worn refrain, and it was uttered several times during the weekend as Manchester City was held by Leicester City -- 31 league places and several billion dollars worse off -- and Reading, Southampton, Stevenage Borough (which is as small a club as the name suggests) and Notts County all overcame Premier League opposition. But it's worth concentrating on Leeds United's draw with Arsenal, because you're probably going to be seeing a lot more of that United soon.
Leeds is fifth in the Championship, within sniffing distance of the automatic promotion places just as QPR and Cardiff, who currently occupy the places, falter. Its performance against Arsenal at the Emirates -- ambitious, assiduous and defensively unshakable -- ought to have earned a place in the fourth round rather than a replay, and demonstrated Leeds' readiness to return to the top flight. It also directed minds toward the same question as the goalless draw between Arsenal and Manchester City days earlier: Should Arsene Wenger be shopping for a striker, rather than a center half?
Substitute Theo Walcott made an immediate impact, but his admission that he dived a minute or two before a legitimate penalty was awarded highlighted Arsenal's desperation. Walcott has the legs but not (yet) the reliable finishing; Marouane Chamakh has wanted for service and in turn looks flummoxed by most opportunities; Andrey Arshavin is as often a waste of a shirt as he is a genius; and Nicklas Bendtner is plain dreadful. Only Robin van Persie can be thought of as lethal, and it remains to be seen whether his shoulders are broad enough to take all the load for Arsenal.
You know that episode of Friendswhere they play football and tell Rachel to "go long"? I think of it every time James Milner plays wide for Manchester City. He would never give it less than 100 percent, but he's essentially being asked not to play -- he made just 14 passes and three tackles in 90 minutes on the right wing against Arsenal last week.
For the weekend's trip to Leicester, Roberto Mancini pulled Milner into the middle of a four-man midfield with Patrick Vieira. Instantly he made the kind of difference to the side that you'd want for a $37 million investment. Overall, City couldn't have complained had Leicester (now managed by Sven Goran Eriksson) won, but there was no faulting Milner.
On a spongy pitch, Milner never stopped running, defending from the front (he spent much of the game ahead of Vieira and behind Carlos Tevez), setting up City's second with a delightful center and heading a Sol Bamba effort off the line at 2-2. He could have set up the third from a driving run if Leicester keeper Chris Weale hadn't saved Nigel do Jong's shot. Most impressive of all, he scored the first with a low, powerful strike after a decent turn of pace (and a neat one-two with Tevez) that helped him surprise the defense.
Considering it's founded on the principle of "a short burst of inconsequential information," Twitter is managing to get a lot of people in to trouble these days. Not long after Glen Johnson's ill-considered attack on Paul Merson, teammate Ryan Babel looks to have set up a hearing with the FA by posting a mocked-up picture of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt. He's since apologized for his stupidity, but the implication of bias is what will attract the governing body's ire. It's not difficult to imagine that Mr. Dalglish might want a chat today, too.
It would be a shame to lose players from Twitter, though. For all the misspellings, bravado and plain guff, it's a modern-day approximation of the times when players got the bus home from matches with everyone else, without a sssh-ing press officer or agent in sight. And sometimes Twitter can work for good: Blackburn is investigating after QPR's Jamie Mackie, who suffered a double leg break in Saturday's 1-0 defeat, tweeted that El Hadji Diouf had shouted: "F--- you and f--- your leg" at him as he lay on the ground. This may be the first and only time that manager Neil Warnock's postmatch rant ("I was going to call him a sewer rat, but that would be insulting to sewer rats") doesn't land him in hot water.

Catholic Key Reporter
KANSAS CITY — Dominic Vargas was 11 years old, a fifth grader at Our Lady of Angels School. Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 5, the ensuing years were a struggle with the disease and the treatments for him and his family. A bone marrow transplant last year was unsuccessful but, through it all, he was a "little warrior," never losing his smile or his determination to help others. Dominic lost his battle Feb. 1 at Children's Mercy hospital.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Redemptorist) Church was full of family members, friends and those who wanted to show support and love for Dominic. A large heart made of red and white flowers stood near the ambo, and numerous photographs of Dominic showed him smiling, always smiling. There were few empty pews in the huge church.
The Mass of Christian Burial was concelebrated by Redemptorist Fathers Denis Ryan and Brian Johnson, pastor, and Jesuit Father Bob Hagan of Guardian Angels Church. Bishop Robert Finn led the Final Commendation. Family members and classmates served as readers, prayer leaders and gift bearers.
The first reading was from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: "There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."
The second reading from Matthew 5:13-16, "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
John's Gospel (14:1-3) spoke to Dominic's family and friends, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be."
Father Ryan incorporated parts of all three readings into his homily, reflecting on "why do things like this happen? How could God be so cruel? He was a child. It's difficult to understand and there just doesn't seem to be an answer."
He mentioned that both he and Father Johnson serve as chaplains at Children's Mercy and, in that capacity as well as pastor and priest at Dominic's parish, got to know the boy during his 6 year struggle with leukemia.
"A priest brings the presence of Jesus into a hospital situation; he's there for the patient and for the family so they don't feel abandoned by God.
"In the simplicity of love, we find Dominic, an 11 year old wise beyond his maturity.
"A time to give; he was always giving.
"Jesus is the image and likeness of God the Father. When Dominic enters God's house, he will have his first real look of what God is like. Jesus said he goes to prepare a place for us and will come back to take us to the Father. I could see that Jesus came for Dominic. I can just see the two of them, walking out of that hospital, hand in hand, talking. Dominic says, 'You know, Jesus, there are a few things I'd like to show you in my home town.'
"He shows Jesus his family home, where he lived with his mother and brothers, Children's Mercy Hospital, where he spent so much time, Kauffman Stadium, where Chiefs safety Eric Berry, whom Dominic admired for his struggle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, played and hopes to return to play, and finally, Redemptorist Church, where he and his family attended Mass. Yes, there is a time to love and a time to be at peace."
Three children, school friends Adrianna Mendez and Katherine Garcia, and his cousin Jaeden Vargas, brought the gifts up to the sanctuary at the Offertory.
The students at Our Lady of Angles School had, over the last six years, played with and prayed for Dominic, raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and sent their love to him often.
Dominic had a devotion to Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, a 19th century German Redemptorist priest whose availability and kindness in responding and understanding the needs of the men, women and most of all the children he served, made him beloved as a confessor and spiritual director. He was assigned to a parish in New Orleans in 1866. In 1867, there was a major outbreak of yellow fever in the city. In caring for fever victims, Father Seelos contracted the disease and died in 1867 at the age of 48. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000.
In the last weeks before his death, Dominic was visited by Bishop Robert Finn, who also has a devotion to Blessed Seelos, and owned a relic of the beatified priest. Bishop Finn confirmed Dominic in the chapel at Children's Mercy, and gave the boy the relic.
Mary Delac told The Key that the relic rested on Dominic's pillow.
Just before he recited the final commendation and blessing over Dominic's casket, Bishop Finn spoke to the congregation, thanking the Strong City Schools, especially the teachers and classmates at Our Lady of Angels, for their love and caring for Dominic and his family.
He reminded the congregation that family and friends are a blessing in tough times "like this."
"Eleven years old is not a time when we think to experience death. A young child like Dominic can teach us about life and dying. He did teach us that life is short, whatever time we have is only the tiniest expression from God; we must live in God. Material things, accomplishments, status and fame are not as important as family. Family sustains us, as does love and faith.
"When I confirmed Dominic he renewed his Baptismal promises loud and clear. His faith was important to him. I asked him what name he chose for his confirmation name and he answered, 'St. Michael.' He wanted to be strong in his battle against leukemia.
"Even a young child can help us to see Christ on the cross, innocent suffering. So many people have been touched by his story, his hurt and his joy."
Mary Delac said a Memorial Mass dedicated to Dominic was celebrated Feb. 12 at Guardian Angels Church and attended by the whole school. Teachers and students read memories of their student and classmate during the Mass.
To everything there is an appointed time. A time to be born and a time to love, a time to give and a time to learn; a time to die and a time to be at peace. Dominic rests in Resurrection Cemetery.

Why Your Self-
Jesus Saved My Life Today
I was in a serious car crash and I wanted to tell the testimony about what the Lord did in my life. Considering the severity of the accident, I have very minor injuries. I got several friction burns on my left arm and a few cuts on my right. I believe both were caused by the airbag. I also got some bruising along my hips from the seat belt. I received a contusion in my left leg, probably from the center console as it flew out of the car. (Yes, you know the crash is bad when the entire center console flies out of the car!) But God was good to me. I can hardly believe that I was able to get out of the car and walk away.
I was heading towards Houston when I crashed. It was pretty crazy, my rear left tire suddenly blew and my SUV swerved right. The front of my vehicle angled forward until the rear elevated to about a forty-
Part of the really scary part was that I was initially stuck in the car. I looked around to try and figure out what to do to get out. I could see the passenger side was completely crushed, and was really glad no one was with me because they probably would not have lived. But I couldn't get out that way. My window was only one of two that wasn't broken. But because I was cramped for space and hanging upside down, I really couldn't get into a position to break it open. I had to find another way out. Then I noticed the engine was smoking, and I became worried about getting out quickly. I couldn't move through the front windshield because the engine was situated above my head and was leaking oil and gasoline. Then I noticed that behind me, the rear window was smashed out. I unbuckled myself carefully. This caused me to slide down next to the door. I then had to reach up and grab the seat lever to put it in the recline position. This enabled me to crawl across the seat. I then turned myself around so I could crawl along the roof of the car, and was finally able to get out. I was so pumped up with adrenaline, that when I finally got out, I felt like crying and yelling at the same time. I remember how much my arms and hands were shaking from the adrenaline rush after I climbed out. I was really glad that I was alive and seemed to be okay.
I looked around to see what the scene looked like. Everything had flown out of the car and was littered across the side of the road for the 50-
Two other vehicles had been traveling in the opposite direction and their drivers said they saw the whole thing as it happened. The first one said he thought I was going to hit him before I completely flipped off the road. He said my car flipped over five times. He managed to drive to the side of the road where I ended up. He quickly parked, and as he ran out to help me he was shouting at me asking if I was okay, and if anyone else was in the car with me. He arrived at my vehicle as I was struggling to get out. It was really amazing to have a random stranger care enough to stop to help me. I guess we all have an innate desire to help one another, whether we realize it or not.
The second driver saw what happened as well. He said I flipped six times before coming to a stop. The first driver called 911, which seemed to never come. Thankfully, the second driver had a brother who worked for a local EMT unit. He happened to be on duty that day and was only about five minutes away. That was neat how the Lord brought in a random passerby who had the right connections to get help quickly. His brother arrived just about 10 minutes after the whole thing happened. Because of his training, he was able to act as the dispatch for the ambulance, fire truck, and police. Meanwhile, they set me on the bed of a pickup truck, placed me in a neck brace, and did everything to make sure I okay.
Two women stopped by soon after. One said, "Man, you were lucky today." I replied, "Ma'am, I don't believe in luck, Jesus saved my life today". Later, I mentioned to another person how the Lord was protecting me. Even in situations like this, life is about ministry. There are people that we come in contact with every day, and the Lord gives us chances to let them know about Him and what He has done in our lives.
Even several days later, I was still hurting. I would wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. (Oh wait, I did!) It's really good to know that God still has a plan. I hope I've encouraged you as you go through your life knowing the Lord has a plan and a purpose. And that He greatly values your life. I hope that you don't have to look death in the face like I did to realize it.

Moeen Faruqi
Karachi – born artist, Moeen Faruqi, completed his B.S in 1981 from California State University, Fresno USA and later went on to do his M. Ed from University of Wales, UK in 1992. He is a self-taught artist and has been practicing since the 1980's.
Faruqi's acrylic and oil works on canvas focus on the people around him. He likes to capture the feeling of alienation in society. People around him he feels, tend to experience this either because of their background or perhaps because the world is constantly changing and it is difficult to keep pace, hence they are left behind. The people in his midst constantly inspire his narrative portraits that tend to be expressionistic in approach and deal with social-realism in content.
Faruqi plays with the idea that we live in 'fragile cocoons' and how ironically modern people are estranged from their own society. For this, he uses men and women in his paintings, using the animals and fish to denote estrangement and add a feeling of strangeness.
His stylized figurative works are narrative; hence titles are an important feature in his practice. However, the artist says that his work is still very much open to interpretation. The protagonist in his paintings, usually staring out of the canvas, represents himself.
Amra Ali, writer for Dawn Gallery says, 'Moeen Faruqi discusses art, poetry, the many fears and insecurities, and a confused urban milieu out of which his art springs forth. His radiant, if disturbing, figurative forms and spacey landscapes in subdued hues reflect the urban paradoxes and chaos of a city like Karachi.'
Khaas Art has several of Moeen Faruqi's paintings in the collection. We hosted his solo show, Word & Image in 1999 and then featured him in a group show of painters in 2005 with Mashkoor Raza and Mohammad Kazim. His solo show, Kahaniyan took place in 2011 followed byThe Blue Room And Other Stories took place in 2015.
This is the Work tab.

Chinese billionaire lei Jun, the CEO and founder of Xiaomi, which is often in the media as "Chinese Apple", has stated that he does not want his Corporation compared with the iPhone maker. As an example, to follow a top Manager now sees Costco Wholesale, the world's largest network of hypermarkets club, which sells a variety of products, ranging from rings with diamonds to boxes of cereal, and fruit at bargain prices.

"We are not Apple – leads Dailycomm words lei Jun. – We have the same system of values as Costco. We want our users get the best products at affordable prices."
Due to high prices for its products Apple collects most of the profit in the highly competitive smartphone market. In contrast, Costco sells products with a minimum margin, and revenue growth is achieved through the membership in the club system.
In fact, many products of Xiaomi detect suspicious similarities with "Apple". Smartphone Mi 4, a copy of the Magic Trackpad, the method of publication of advertising materials. Even the interior for their own stores, the Chinese company did copy Apple.

When most directors talk about the films that influence their work, they might mention one of two obvious citations. For writer-director Alex Ross Perry, there are literally hundreds that can range all over the history of movies. The director of Impolex, The Color Wheel, and his audacious new film, Listen Up Philip, comes on the show to discuss his work ethic, his rounds on the repertory scene, and his breakthrough onto the growing microbudget cinema. Alex talks about the making of his three features and their roles in forming an alternative to mainstream independent cinema, and how breaking traditional models has led him to the most fruitful of territory. Finally, Alex discusses one of the major influences on Listen Up Philip—Woody Allen's anti-Woody Allen film Husbands and Wives. The two discuss how the aesthetic choices made here are radically thrilling in a way rarely shown otherwise by the director, or any filmmaker for that matter.

The New American reports that
Judge John M. Roll, murdered in Saturday's shooting rampage in Tucson, was the leading judicial voice supporting former Graham County, Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack in his 1997 lawsuit against the federal government. Mack is a speaker, states' rights advocate and author of The County Sheriff: America's Last Hope.
Sheriff Mack observed in an interview on Alex Jones' Jan. 10 radio broadcast that John Roll changed his life. He has quoted Roll in his books. In 1997, when Mack was sheriff of Graham County, he joined with Sheriff Jay Printz of Montana in filing a suit against the federal government regarding the Brady Act. The resulting Supreme Court decision found the Act unconstitutional.
The Brady Act not only would have required state and local officials to carry out and fund a federal mandate regarding gun regulations, but it also called for the arrest of any law enforcement officer who refused to enforce it. On the basis of these provisions, Mack and Printz filed suit, and were eventually joined by five other sheriffs around the nation. Mack recalled of the judge:

So it's been a while since I did a more chit chat life based post, but seeing as university work and life in general has been getting in the way of my passions i.e. blogging fashion and beauty, I wanted to take this much deserved break from work to get back in and talk about what's been going on lately. If you're at college/high school and are thinking of going to university, my experience from the last 3 months might help, but also if you're just an interested reader who wants the low down on my life, blog and what's to come, then keep reading. I'll try not to be too long winded!
I feel very lucky in my current position for many reasons, but mostly because I get to go home a lot as I don't live too far away from my uni, and believe me if you think the independence is the best thing in the world and you don't need home, you'll completely change your mind after the first month or so. I'm not homesick, but I just love going home and seeing my family, dogs, opening blogger mail and just relaxing! So, I'm home every 2-3 weeks, which is not the same for some people unfortunately, so I really appreciate home a lot more in general now.
Another reason I'm feeling rather lucky right now, is because I still have the most enjoyable, rewarding passion on my side, which is of course blogging. Whilst I may have to take 1-2 weeks away from it due to exams, tight schedules, or anything shitty like that, it's always there when I'm ready to come back and I highly recommend still fitting in a little twitter/facebook/instagram promotion now and again even if you can't post in that period of time. But as you can probably tell, I'm over that exam rut, and I'm back in full swing!
They say you make your best friends for life at university, and whilst I don't doubt that and I've already made some great friends here, I already have my best friend for life (her twitter is @Chelseea_E if you want to check her out!) who doesn't go to my uni, and lives so, so, so far away... 😭 But, we see each other as often as we can, and nothing stops us from talking every day, and fitting in the odd Skype session now and again. As for my university social life, I haven't experienced the whole going out every night, party every week, hungover all time life which I'm not really too mad about, because you learn to appreciate the few nights out you get, that bit more.
As for what's to come, I have so much planned including, new beauty launches, fashion brand discoveries and some Christmas wish lists and giveaways! I also couldn't be more excited for Christmas this year, the anticipation is killing me. We only have something like 4 weeks until the big day 🎄, and I'm so excited! This year my family and I are having quite a small Christmas, and I like the small festive family gatherings we have, they're not too over the top, but they're certainly always special. Let me know what christmas plans you've got coming up in you life, blog etc.
I'm currently in my university accommodation, but I took these pictures the last time I was at home which is why my little Labrador puppy Boomer (don't ask, my dad named him...) decided he wanted to feature too. He's coming up to 18 months actually, so he's not that little anymore, but he'll always be my baby I absolutely adore him. Another reason to love coming home! I have two dogs, Boomer and my little scotty/west highland terrier Hamish and I'm going to be doing a whole post dedicated to them soon, as I'd love for you to see them a bit more. But for now, here's Boomer wondering what the hell is mum is up to.
I hope this post was enjoyable, and cleared up any questions you might have had about university, my life, and my blog. Can we talk about these new emojis on blogger??? Omg, I love them, such a cool thing to add, I can't wait to use them more. I promise not to over use them though! 💣

TORN skills
|This page lists all skills in TORN, a canceled fantasy RPG which was supposed to use the SPECIAL character system.
There would be twenty skills divided into four skill categories: Combat, Magic, Rogue, and Other. These skills would allow the game to determine a character's chance of success, or the extent of their ability in various actions such as attacking, picking a lock, and so on.
When a character was created, its statistics would define the initial values in each skill. In addition, the player would be able to Tag a skill category that the character would be especially proficient in. From that point, each time the character passed a level it would gain Skill Points (SP) in each of the four categories (i.e. four separate sets of SP). These SP would be spent to raise the skills within the relevant category. The number of SP gained each level would depend upon a different set of related statistics for each skill category.
Combat skills
The Combat skills included Unarmed Combat, Slashing Weapons, Crushing Weapons, Piercing Weapons, Projectile Weapons, and Fortitude. The first five would be used during combat to determine how skilled a character was with a given weapon or style of combat. As the skill increased the character would hit more often and for more damage, and would learn (or become eligible to learn) various special attacks and abilities. Fortitude would increase a character's Hit Points, enabling him or her to take more damage before dying.
Magic skills
The Magic skills included Order, Chaos, Alchemy, Summoning, and Mana Focus. The first four would represent a character's knowledge of and skill with the art of one of the four realms of magic. The higher a character's skill was, the more complex the spells he or she would be able to cast and the more potent those spells would be. Mana Focus would increase a character's Mana Points, allowing him or her to expend more magical power - casting spells, summoning creatures, activating enchanted items and so on - before having to rest.
Rogue skills
The Rogue skills were the hallmark of the scout or sneaky, "skulduggery"-type character, and included Stealth, Locks & Traps, and Thievery.
Other skills
Lastly, the Other skills fit no trade in particular but were handy to adventurers of all sorts. They would include Artisan, Diplomacy, Haggle, Healing, Lore, and Outdoorsman.
