Post subject: Need help with BIOS settings - mouse and soundcard
Hello, I got an old pc, that I've planned to run DOS games on it. Recently I have added a RS232 mouse and an old SoundBlaster card to it. Everything was working fine, until I've accidentally reset BIOS to default values. Now mouse and sound card doesn't work. Could you tell me what settings should I change to make it work again? I got Award BIOS on my motherboard.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, mate!
For the mouse I'd look for the onboard serial port, maybe under devices, make sure it's turned on.
I don't know why the soundblaster isn't working, unless that motherboard has a built-in sound card that got turned on. If so, turn it off.
Any chance you can get and share a picture of the motherboard, back of the computer, or find the motherboard model # and find images and details online? I'm mostly looking to see how old it really is, if it has built-in devices, etc. Any details or images you can get us will help us help you.

Ok, problem is mostly solved, I've changed the Onboard UART 1 & 2 to disabled, and after that mouse started to work, and after installing drivers to my SoundBlaster CT4170, I have music in games
About my motherboard: only markings I found on it was VT-502, after googling, it looks like
Now, after installing drivers to sound card, everytime I start the computer, I have a message like that:
Before installing drivers, the pc was just starting DOS and after that Norton Commander. Now I have to press the key to start it. Is there any way to skip that "press any key" part? I think it may be somewhere in autoexec.bat, but I don't want to remove random lines and make sound card not working again.

Glad you made progress! Good pictures, too.
I would say, make backup copies of autoexec.bat and config.sys, then remove different lines to trim them down to get what you want.
I often made a directory like BACKUP and copied them in, or copied them to files config.old and autoexec.old in the root c:\ drive.
Those win95 files sure have a lot of extra stuff in them if you only want dos!
You can also have different versions off the config & autoexec for different games and windows and etc. I used to copy them to the "real" ones and reboot depending on what I was up to.
For the sound blaster setup, usually it is files like SB???.exe (sbsetup? sbconfig?) and then SET BLASTER=??? in autoexec. If you leave those alone you should be fine! But if you have a backup of the files, it won't matter anyway, you can always go back.
That's a good looking dos motherboard! I hope you have lots of fun with it.
If you can post copies of the full autoexec.bat and config.sys, we might be able to help trim it, if you like.
And I recall finding optimized autoexec & configs online, or maybe on a boot disk I found online. You might be able to find something like that to help.

Can you give us an idea on how you were able to evaluate that the block was due to being a payment coming from a JotForm-based form? Currently, we have not received reports from other Stripe users claiming that it was because of JotForm that their payments were not received.
On Stripe's page, it indicates are as follows:
At the core of Radar, Stripe's modern suite of fraud protection tools, is our machine learning system that evaluates all your credit-card based on transactions for fraud. Those transactions we believe are highly likely to be fraudulent are labeled as high risk (highest in our API) and are automatically blocked. These charges are noted as "Payment blocked due to high risk" in the payment detail view and we will also include the primary risk explanation for why the charge was evaluated as high risk.
A charge could also be blocked by one of your custom rules you've setup through your rules dashboard. For any of these payments we will note that the payment was blocked by one of your custom rules, and which rule blocked the payment.
Decreasing the likelihood of declines
If you are confident that a high risk payment that was blocked by Stripe is actually legitimate, you can report the charge as safe in the Dashboard. After marking a payment as safe, you (or your customer) can retry the payment–Stripe will react to your feedback accordingly.
You can further refer refer more details on Stripe's help guide on this link: https://support.stripe.com/questions/why-was-a-customers-charge-declined
Will be looking forward for your response.

Step 1. I created a brand-new account in Stripe.
Step 2. I created a JotForm that I hooked to it.
Step 3. I asked someone in Canada to place an order using the form, and she did.
Step 4: I received an email message from Stripe that said:
No action is required on your part, but we wanted to let you know that—for the first time—Stripe has blocked a likely-fraudulent payment on your account. This is only a first-time notification; we won't email you about this again in the future.
Stripe Radar evaluates payments across Stripe's entire network in real time. By default we block the high-risk payments (such as the payment noted in this email), and place elevated-risk payments in your review queue so you can give them a second look.
I assumed it was the order from Canada that had been blocked. But when I went to my Stripe dashboard, the high-risk payments turned out to be attributed to JotForm--both for $1.
I have no custom rules set. If you can tell me that this charge is legitimate, I can unblock it. But I don't want to do that unless I know it was from you.

I am forwarding the issue to our Developer team so they can look into it and update you. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Petra,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write us.
Our payment wizard has the verification ability which checks if your payment gateway settings are setup correctly. To do this, it tries to place a real payment of $1 with a test credit card number.
This test-payment is programmed to be declined automatically. Unfortunately it does trigger the fraud prevention filters at Stripe.
You don't need to worry as the test-payment is also marked as JotForm Test Payment so nobody is really trying to out something on your account.
We'll be disabling the verification feature of Stripe until it has been clarified.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
Thank you

I am quite aware of the power of myths. Growing up with my nanay telling us biblical stories – of Jonah being swallowed by a giant fish, of the Red Sea parting, of food falling from the sky – all kindled in my young mind a desire to read all kinds of mythology and bask in the enchantment of flying horses, magical swords, dragons and wise-men. I remember I used to go to the library of my elementary school and secretly read the stories of the Olympian, Egyptian or the Mayan gods and feel a sense of 'religious guilt' as what my young mind only construed as conspiring with demons and cohorting with the devil's own. But already at that age, I was as hardheaded as I am stubborn now. Bereft of the idea that mythologies are mere 'sacred narratives explaining how the present world came about' or as an 'ideology in narrative form,' I set aside the notion of religious guilt and embarked on an adventure with Joseph Campbell's four-volume Masks of God, Robert Graves' The White Goddess and James Frazer's The Golden Bough but poring with much appreciation at Campbell's Transformations of Myths through Time which includes a number of appealing illustrations and discussions on the evolution of myths. Reading myths became something of a nighttime habit for me. Maybe, and I am not venturing into psychoanalysis, it lulls me to sleep better than any other story because of its resemblance to dreams, dream-time, dream-world, and dream-story plots.
I only got an appreciation of reading Philippine myths when I studied the Bikolano Ibalon epic for my undergraduate thesis. From then on, I became intrigued at how strikingly similar yet profoundly different our myths are from the mythos of the European, Hindu, Chinese, American etc. For instance, we read the 'Great Flood' theme from the Hebrew story of Noah to the T'boli's La Kagef and Tamfeles and yet see different underlying motives and symbols in the narratives. The first speaks of an angry deity who was keen in wiping out humanity that has turned sinful, while the T'boli flood myth never spoke of any motive for the flood – it simply was a natural event, and the deity's only role was to warn two couples to hide inside a bamboo and after the flood, to become the ancestors of the T'boli and other tribes. In the realm of pragmatics, one myth was meant to be a religious lesson to the community, the other was meant to inform the T'boli of their progeny.
We see here the same pattern that Claude Levi-Strauss noted with myths worldwide; that of having similar and general themes/motifs because of the same human needs and aspirations, yet strikingly dissimilar because of the different social and environmental phenomena of a given people. He further remarked about the universal quality of myths, "Whatever our ignorance of the language and the culture of the people where it originated, a myth is still felt as a myth by any reader anywhere in the world. Its substance does not lie in its style, its original music or its syntax, but in the story which it tells."[1]
Such is the power of myths. They are, in the words of Carl Jung, collective dreams, which also open up to private meanings. They have the power to yoke communities under one mythos yet also has the transformative energy that stirs individuals. Claude Levi-Strauss noted this power yet he was also conscious of another significance of myths in the study of Anthropology and Sociology – that of the underlying social structures that those myths, he thought, contain. He explained his method in an essay The Structural Study of Myth and postulated that "If there is a meaning to be found in mythology, it cannot reside in the isolated elements which enter in to the composition of a myth, but only in the way those elements are combined"[2] and that "the true constituent units of a myth are not the isolated relations but bundles of such relations, and it is only as bundles that these relations can be put to use and combined so as to produce a meaning."[3]
We come to know some characteristics of myths, of the general patterns of mythic themes and specific roles of myths in different societies. But for this paper, I am not interested in those general patterns so obvious in world mythologies. These general patterns are more in the realm of Psychology in what Carl Jung would include in his discussions of archetypes. As a paper for Anthropology, I am more interested in those combinations of mythic elements that hide in their texts, social structures (kinship, gender relations etc.) and meanings for a given people. One must extricate, not unlike an archeologist, amidst the seemingly non-important rubble of mythic language, all the while avoiding the sins of generalizations and being too subjective in our interpretations.
I would like now to focus my lenses on the T'boli of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Philippines. Famous for their ikat weave called the t'nalak (which is fast gaining world popularity as an ethnic and eco-friendly design) their other art forms are being sidelined and aside from the occasional scholar, forgotten. The T'boli are also master musicians and storytellers. Some still chant (tutul) for days on end the life of the hero Tudbulol and on special gatherings like a ritual moninum, chanters, musical adepts of the seko, gongs, k'lintang, hegelung and s'ludoy would form an ensemble to sing of their myths. The creation stories of Lake Sebu, Lake Seloton, Lake Nungon, Te-ada Island in Lake Sebu, stories of heroes like Boi Henwu, Tudbulul, and Kludan to name a few. What is noteworthy though, is that there is no fixed and static text by from which they will recite, only set series of events. Different storytellers have different styles but they will not deviate from the major events of the story, as Levi-Strauss puts it, the myth consists "of all its versions; or to put it otherwise, a myth remains the same as long as it is felt as such."
One such topic that is the favorite of the T'boli is the creation myth of Lake Sebu – a mountain-lake that is part of the Allah Valley Watershed in South Cotabato. A major economic source and major geographical formation of the T'boli traditional domain, it is the central topic of many legends or a setting for the many adventures of the T'boli heroes.
My proposed thesis also centers at Lake Sebu and the T'boli people, examining how they perceive the risks of climate change by diagnosing how myths, legends and beliefs inform their risk perceptions. By investigating the structures of risk information and perception in their myths, we may, I believe, better understand how to inform, update and apprise indigenous peoples on the realities of climate change.
I will present here a narration of one Lake Sebu creation myth and try to use the method of Claude Levi-Strauss in trying to unearth underlying structures and categories of thought in the T'boli culture in a structuralist exercise of the study of myth.
This is the story as narrated by Carmel Tandayan, a T'boli of Lake Sebu and as collected and written by Carlo C. Casinto in a graduate thesis[4]:

|How did Lake Sebu get its name?Long time ago, this placewas very hot;
There was no water around
and so the people had nothing
to drink.
Then one day a woman named
Boi Henwu, named for she did
not know of a place where she
could get water.
She explored the area until she
saw something the size of a
cogon grass.
To her surprise, water sprung
from this.
She went close to the water and
She wet her "keding", her
hair that was hanging down.
Because she had long hair, she
carried her hair inside a
She then went home but when
she arrived there, everybody
was surprised of her wet hair.
She did not tell anybody how
she got her hair wet.
When she came home, her
husband, S'bu, was not yet
He was still in the forest
The next day she went
back to the water which
she covered with the
leaf of a Takul tree.
When she arrived in the area,
she was surprised because the
water had become bigger.
So she took a bath, filled
her bamboo container with
water, covered the water
and proceeded home.
Upon her arrival, her neighbors
were again surprised.
They started to wonder
where the woman got the water
and how her hair got wet, how she was
able to bring home water.
After this incident, she
decided to go back but this
time she didn't know that
Somebody was following her.
This person reported to the
community what he saw.
As a result, the people
all went there to fetch water.
S'bu the husband,
who had come home also
followed her.
The water became so big
that she could no longer cover
it and she was also carried
by it.
S'bu tried to save Boi
Henwu but he got drowned
in the process.
That is why the place is
called S'bu to honor the husband
of Boi Henwu.
The structure of the narrative itself, as handed out to us by Cansito, already follows what Levi-Strauss notes in his Structural Study of Myth, of "breaking down [the] story into the shortest possible sentences". We then take note of the possible themes that can be culled out of the story, namely: gender relations, appropriation of resources, hygiene, husband-wife roles, politics of the haves and the have-nots and attitude towards environment.
As I mentioned earlier, there are other versions intimately tied-up to this story and, although my focus is the story above, they can be used to compare and to complement it.
In the story of Boi Henwu, Lemugut Mangay and Kludan[5], we see a different dimension of the creation of Lake Sebu. This is the story as written by Manolete Mora:
It begun when Boi Henwu and Lemugut Mangay (celestial messenger or angel) began courting. This earth (tonok) was still being created and the sky and heavens were still very close. After D'wata (the Supreme deity) created the earth and the sea and he made Boi Henwu and Kludan, the first man and woman. Lake Sebu had not yet been created.
At that time Boi Henwu and Kludan were traveling together. Kludan, who was still a youth served as her helper (nga nemuhen). Although they were not married he hunted and killed four or five pigs for her at a time.
Boi Henwu and Kludan together as they were, lived in different houses for sixteen halay (one rice harvest season, thus eight years). During this time Boi Henwu frequently desired to bathe.
One day Kludan told Boi Henwu that he would go hunting and asked her to wait until he returned. He returned at noon with eight pigs and water that he had supposedly obtained from the el luos (a type of rattan that contains water).
This delighted Boi Henwu. Upon seeing the water she immediately began to bathe, exclaiming, "How pleasant it is to bathe, I have washed away all the dust."
She looked radiant and beautiful with her hair worn in the tuko-en style. She wore anklets (singkil) up to her knees, bracelets covering her forearms and eight gold necklaces (lieg kemagi) .
Kludan had actually found another source of water while he was away but at first kept it a secret. Finally he told her what he had seen. She asked him excitedly about where he saw the water: "if you've seen water," she urged him, "tell me so that I can bathe there."
I cannot show you because of your big taboo (bong lii) against men," said Kludan.
"Pardon me," said Boi Henwu, "but you are like my child and I am like your mother."
So Kludan desired Boi Henwu. Yet he knew that Lemugot Mangay had been sent by D'wata to bring her to heaven.
"It is better," said Boi Henwu, "that you show me the water or our relationship will no longer be the same."
So Kludan relented and together with Boi Henwu they searched for eight day and eight nights until they found the source of water. This was named (Lake) Sebu afer the man who first saw it in its entirety.
When they arrived there, Kludan instructed Boi Henwu to stand under the large nabul tree on the sunny side. From where she stood the tree looked like a crawling python. She then gazed up into the branches of the tree and her vision weakened as though she had become giddy.
"This is the nabul tree (Ficus religiosa)," said Kludan. "Now that you've seen it, it's for you to find the water."
When she turned over the takul leaf at the bottom of the tree, the water of Sebu spurted forth thin as the thread of the needle (mesut el; which also signifies ejaculation).
"Ah," exclaimed Boi Henwu, "this is the water."
At the source of the spouting water sat a frog, which she picked up. It was as wide as three fingers, and had nails, fingers and feet the color of gold. It had a beautiful face and was white all over. The frog jumped into the pouch of her tube skirt (kelofoy; a pocket tied at the front of the tube skirt for carrying small items, such as betel nut, money, etc.) and said: "I've been hoping and waiting for you; this water is yours."
Boi Henwu's hair was beautiful and abundant. It would have taken four women to hold, style and carry it. As she stood by the water of Sebu she wished for the companionship of a woman. Four suddenly appeared and they carried her hair until they reached her house.
Boi Henwu then suddenly turned to Kludan and said, "Now I will leave you and this place. D'wata has finished creating heaven and earth."
She then said, "And I will beat the wooden percussion beam (k'lutang) before I ascend." She played it until Lemugot Mangay came for her. As she ascended with Lemugot Mangay she threw down the two mallets and they transformed into barbets, a male and a female. In times past, the barbet was the wooden percussion beam mallet of Boi Henwu.
The barbets then said to Lemugot Mangay: "But now that you are leaving us in this world, how shall we survive?"
Lemugot Mangay and Boi Henwu replied to the barbets: "We shall provide you with food and you will continue to live."
Boi Henwu had now found her partner. She had had no man before, only Kludan (the first man but who was also her 'child helper'). When Boi Henwu ascended with Lemugot Mangay, Kludan returned to Lake Sebu, threw himself in and entered the navel of the sea.
Another version of this creation myth of Lake Sebu tells of a local princess who had a dream of coming to the mountain land of Sebu. The princess saw a big leaf. When she opened it up a white frog leaped out along with the gush of water that flooded the land and became the lake. From the heavens she threw pythons to the earth, which formed the islands at the lake. And in order for the princess to pass by the lake, her brother parted the island. The name "Sebu", according to this version, came from the T'boli word for lake or leaf.
One version of the Lake Sebu creation myth, as narrated by Jenita Batol Eko, tells of a long spell of drought in a village. The only available water were the droplets of water left on the leaves after the morning mist. In this story, a village woman was always seen by the other villages freshly bathe and with wet hair, as if she bathed in a spring. One day the villagers followed her to her secret bathing place and to their disbelief, a small spring was indeed bubbling from a small crack in the earth. Angry that they were tricked by the woman and keeping the source of water to herself, they tried to mob the woman but not until a white frog was startled and started to jump from one place to another, and from where it jumped, water came gushing forth until the place was flooded. Everyone perished from this flood and a lake was formed. It was named S'bu after the woman who discovered the spring.
I will now attempt to extricate meanings and search for Levi-Straussian structures in the story of Carmel Tandayan. We first have to list down the characters in the story. They are: Boi Henwu, the community and S'bu. Boi Henwu is the wife of S'bu, the latter showing up later in the narrative. In this version, we can deduce the roles of wives in the T'boli community, as exemplified by Boi Henwu, that of being domestic, maintaining the household and taking care of the children and the home. She 'fetches the water' which may also be translated as providing for the family, water being a necessity in cooking, nourishment, making crafts, making healing salves etc.
S'bu, on the other hand was 'out hunting' at the beginning of the narrative and typifies that the T'boli, at least in this mythic past, is a hunter-gatherer society. She has to 'explore' the forest to look for water, probably even going as far out as the limits of the village boundaries. Boi Henwu (woman) fetches water and along the way gathers whatever she picks out in the forest – herbs, wood for the fire, rootcrops, etc. This is not to say that Boi Henwu does the gathering alone. T'boli women were fiercely protected and will always be accompanied by relatives – male or female[6]. We may see this in the reaction of the community when they noticed that she 'explores' the forest alone – they grew suspicious and begun tailing her.
In the beginning of the story, her husband Sbu was hunting, presumably with a band of village men since hunting is a group activity. Men would travel extensively in the forests and would be away from their families for days – we note the absence of S'bu in the narrative yet we also notice that Boi Henwu was never dependent on S'bu. She took matters on her own, going to the forests to look for water, to take care of the family (presumably together with co-wives) until the return of his husband from a hunt. T'boli women work independently and productively at home, doing crafts such as weaving, embroidery, basketry and jewelry making, which they now sell to lowlanders. As a T'boli woman narrated this story in the early 2000, we can already see the shift in the consciousness of women, as they gain more economic power over men because of their crafts. Boi Henwu, the archetypal T'boli woman never sat down and waited for the rain – she looked for water.
S'bu, on the end of the spectrum, was out in the unknown and deep forests, hence his absence from the mythical narration, outside the realm of the mythical landscape, he typifies the T'boli man who must be constantly away from his family to "look for new locations for the cultivation of dry rice and other food, to engender or maintain the network of affiliations, to retrieve a debt, to sell, barter or to use their labor to repay a debt, or to hunt and gather in the forest."[7] The clear demarcation of the different roles of men and women as exemplified in the story, marks a "division of labor" or the assigning of roles and tasks to men and women on the basis of perceived gender characteristics and attributes, instead of ability and skills.
The present transformation in women's status in T'boli society can be recognized if we compare the central roles of women in the four stories of Lake Sebu – women are in the center and not in the periphery of the myth. The "Ascension of Boi Henwu" even elevates her to the realm of the divine, while the version where she was led by a white frog to the spring suggests her connections with the spirit world; an enduring notion in the t'nalak weaving where inspirations for their designs are given to them in dreams by Lemugut Mangay, the celestial messenger and wife of Boi Henwu (as in the version of Mora). This may allude to all weavers and artists being Boi Henwu themselves, frequently visited by D'wata's messenger.
The title "Boi" also needs to be analyzed. In present usage, it means princess or a favorite wife or daughter of a datu, or a wealthy person. It carries with it attributes of "beauty, intelligence, wealth, hospitality and amiability, good bartering skills, a mild disposition, the ability to command respect from others, the capability to manage an orderly household that includes ruling over co-wives and women, and expertise in one or more of the highly valued T'boli skills, especially weaving, brass casting, embroidery, hat making, and fine beadwork."[8] We may deduce that Boi Henwu in Tadayan's story, is a favorite wife (although there are no other wives mentioned in the story), or a daughter of a datu, either way she exhibits beauty with "long hair carried in a basket". T'boli women are usually very vain with an ensemble of ornamental combs, jewelries, colorful tubular skirts and in early days, would tattoo their faces.
The last version shows this vanity of the woman even more, when she would use the droplets of water collected in leaves just to wash her hair. This has an allusion to what Mary Douglas states as dirt "[being] essentially disorder… it exists in the eye of the beholder… In chasing dirt, in papering, decorating, tidying, we are not governed by anxiety to escape disease, but are positively re-ordering our environment, making it conform to an idea." Boi Henwu, exemplifying T'boli attitude towards dirt, elevates to the highest level the importance of cleanliness and the delineation of the clean and the unclean. This can be attested by the story of Boi Henwu's ascension where she took a bath before being received by Lemugut Mangay in heaven, pointing to the opposition of earth – dirty, heaven – clean. Many things can be said about this, even a whole thesis, but as a practice in the structural study of myths, forgive me if I say that this may suffice.
Another intriguing case to study is the reaction of the community towards Boi Henwu's actions of hiding the source of water. They perceived it only as a selfish act, deceitful and cunning. As a community, it points to a lesson that resources must be shared, that resources are communally owned. According to that version, Boi Henwu should have shared the source of the water. Yet the other version teaches of restraint. It is indeed human nature that the villagers became angry at how the spring was kept hidden to them, but it was also the same anger that led to the destruction of the village. If they waited for the woman to tell them of the spring, would the destruction of the village be averted? Was woman or the frog-god preparing the villagers to the final ablution? Nikos Kazantzakis writes in the Last Temptation of Christ, "Only when we reach the brink of the abyss, do we grow wings." If only the villagers restrained their anger and approached the issue with cool heads, they would not have been erased from earth. Should this also be the approach in the present problem of global warming and climate change? Is this what the T'boli are doing now?
The white frog is particularly absent in the story of Carmel Tadayan although it features constantly in other Lake Sebu creation story. The frog is of course amphibious, living half of its life on water and half on land. If the snake is the chthonic animal, living in caves and the underworld, the symbol of the keeper of the unknown and hidden wisdom, then the frog is the symbol of water and the mysteries of its depth. It is also the symbol of life and fertility for some culture, because they quickly reproduce during the rainy season. This sexual connotation can be read, somewhat of an allusion in the Tadayan version, but is very much explicit in the story of Kludan and Boi Henwu, which tells of a white frog jumping into the pouch of Boi Henwu's tube skirt and saying "this water is yours"; an allusion to sexual intercourse. The frog is indeed a symbol of fertility because it signifies rain, or sometimes thought to bring rain. In some Mindanao indigenous groups, frogs are used in rituals to bring rain[9] and bring back the fertility of the earth.
The life-death attribute of water, so vividly positioned in the opposite ends of the story shows the value given by the T'boli to water; the longing for water at the start and the terrifying flood that takes Boi Henwu's and S'bu's life at the end of the story marks this opposition. At once beneficent and destructive, water is construed as life giver and also life-taker. Kludan diving to the navel of the water to become the god of the underworld, suggests this connection of water to death. We can only dip our toes in the spring of Boi Henwu, but never fully immerse in it.
The T'boli of South Cotabato in the Southern Philippines, are indeed a mysterious people. These meanings we have extricated provide a view of the T'boli as if in a gossamer veil. We can see their outlines, but never fully see their faces – a beauty that is never really revealing in the sense of the really real.
I have to admit that there are still so many layers of meaning to extricate in this single story. As an exercise in the structuralist study of myth, I tried to treat the myth as an orchestra score[10] upon which one can uncover those bundles of relations covertly present in mythic language. Through this exercise, I felt the same desire I had way back in my elementary school for the mystery that myths offered me. No longer hiding my books, for fear of divine wrath, in order to read them, but now shining a torch in the deep crevices of myths. In Anthropology, in our search for the multi-faceted truth, myths offer us a pathway where mystery, revelation and reason could be held in tandem.

After severe weather on Saturday night forced the United Women's Lacrosse League (UWLX) to play its semifinal matches on Sunday morning, the first-ever UWLX Championship Game is now set, as the Long Island Sound and Boston Storm have advanced to face one another today at 1:00 p.m. The match will be played at Homewood Field on the campus of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md, with all of the action airing live on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.
Due to the volume of games that the UWLX players had on the agenda if they won their semifinal match-ups this morning, both of these fixtures were played with 20-minute halves.
In the first contest of the morning, the Storm advanced to the league final by defeating the Baltimore Ride, 10-3. Kristin Igoe led the way for Boston, registering five points on four goals and an assist. Three different players scored the finishes for Baltimore.
In the contest, the Storm raced out to a 4-0 advantage and never looked back. They eventually took a 6-2 edge into the intermission before out-scoring Baltimore 4-1 in the second half.
In the second pairing of the semifinals, the Philadelphia Force grabbed an early 3-1 lead, but Long Island eventually leveled the match at four goals apiece before halftime. In the second half, Katrina Dowd completed a hat trick for the Sound in leading her team on a four-tally unanswered streak, which eventually hung the final 8-4 score line.
It will now be a quick turnaround for the Long Island Sound and Boston Storm, as the two teams prepare to battle at 1:00 p.m. in a meeting that will crown the first-ever UWLX champions.

Visual Process Management
Many leads and managers struggle with the prospect of implementing change in their process management and design. We want to move forward with Lean initiatives, but in some cases are not sure how to apply them "in the trenches". Additionally, once folks have adopted agile principles and practice Scrum, they can find it limiting when dealing with multiple teams and/or cross-functional organizations.
Enter Kanban: developed by Toyota when they took a hint from 'lean' inventory management processes that they saw in local grocery stores. Kanban is an increasingly popular system for introducing incremental, evolutionary process into an organization.
www.Leankit.com provides 4 principles, or facets, of Kanban:
1. Visualize Work
By creating a visual model of your work and workflow, you can observe the flow of work moving through your Kanban system. Making the work visible—along with blockers, bottlenecks and queues—instantly leads to increased communication and collaboration.
2. Limit Work in Process
By limiting how much unfinished work is in process, you can reduce the time it takes an item to travel through the Kanban system. You can also avoid problems caused by task switching and reduce the need to constantly reprioritize items.
3. Focus on Flow
By using work-in-process (WIP) limits and developing team-driven policies, you can optimize your Kanban system to improve the smooth flow of work, collect metrics to analyze flow, and even get leading indicators of future problems by analyzing the flow of work.
4. Continuous Improvement
Once your Kanban system is in place, it becomes the cornerstone for a culture of continuous improvement. Teams measure their effectiveness by tracking flow, quality, throughput, lead times and more. Experiments and analysis can change the system to improve the team's effectiveness.
Based on Lean best practices, Kanban offers a way to move beyond basic Scrum and improve process in a consistent, manageable fashion.
Dev9 has helped clients transition to Kanban, and we prefer it for our development process management. If you're interested in learning more about what Kanban can offer, have a look at Gabe Hicks's "introduction to Kanban" seminar:

It has been brought to my attention by some residents that our district parks are in need of attention. With the recent increase of downed trees, weed growth, and overall damage to our parks due to the past few months of rain, one of the questions that I am consistently asked is: How do our parks get to this point?
I'd first like to mention that our city dealt with a severe flood during that period of much-needed rain, and our Parks Department was called to assist in the clean up after the flood waters had receded. During that time, our parks received the bare minimum amount of maintenance, if any maintenance at all. With that being said, I requested that my staff meet with our Parks Maintenance Supervisor and do an individual park by park inspection, where we worked together to create a plan for addressing the concerns you have shared with my office.
I know that our Parks Department is currently working on those issues and continues to work diligently to address the large work order that we have put together. I ask that you be patient and give the parks department time to work on these issues. Also, please keep in mind that our park maintenance staff are responsible for all the park maintenance in council districts 1,3,6,7 and 9 and they share the same issues we are experiencing in our district parks. I will continue to update you with our progress. Feel free to contact my office with any additional issues or concerns at (408) 535-4901 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Experts: 'Call 911' if pet falls through ice
"He sticks to me like glue, and he's usually on a leash," Cobelle said. "But if he went out on the lake, I'd pull a treat out of my pocket and run the other way, and he'd follow me. There's no way I would go out on the ice after him."
Cobelle, who lives in Danbury, is familiar with the tragedy that occurred in New Britain earlier this week, where a 67-year-old woman plunged through the ice on the Farmington River and drowned, apparently while trying to keep her own dog off the ice.
It's something Cobelle mentioned to her granddaughter, Mackendra Acevedo, 9, and Mackendra's friend, Arianne Izzirary, 10, before taking them with her to walk Cody Sunday afternoon.
"I told them the story about the lady on the Farmington. They know better than to go out on the ice," Cobelle said.
Ice rescue expert Mike McCarthy, who runs Applied Rescue Techniques in Newtown and trains emergency personnel all over New England in rescue situations, said the best thing a pet owner can do if their dog falls through the ice is "call 911."
"The fire departments and rescue squads can come out and do the job, and they have the equipment to do it safely," he said.
Even though there have been some frigid days so far this winter, overall, temperatures haven't been consistently cold enough for ice on area ponds and lakes to freeze to a safe depth, said meteorologist Michael Frasciano of the Connecticut Weather Center in Danbury.
"It hasn't been overly cold, so the water hasn't frozen deep enough yet. It's mostly frozen on the surface," Frasciano said. "We need a sustained cold spell for the ice to be deep enough for people to walk on or skate on, and days like (Saturday), when it was 49 degrees, don't help."
While standing bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds, are hazardous enough under current conditions, the situation is even worse on rivers, where the water is moving and resists freezing, McCarthy said.
Overnight temperatures are expected to reach the single digits by mid-week, but that won't be enough to make the ice safe, particularly at places such as Candlewood Lake, where underground streams can also prevent safe ice from forming in some spots, Danbury Assistant Fire Chief Paul Omasta said.
"It's hard to tell what's going on at any particular time. There are some areas that rarely freeze," he said.
While a couple of inches of hard, black ice can support a human body, "white, snowy-looking ice' contains trapped air which can give way unexpectedly.
"That's not what you want to be on," he said.
Nevertheless, the temptation to rescue a beloved pet can cause some people to disregard their own safety, he said.
"They'll just jump in and think they can start swimming, but that's not the case. They forget about hypothermia," Omasta said.
The effect of the near-freezing water temperatures on the human body can render even a strong swimmer helpless very quickly, McCarthy said.
"The body will progressively shut down just after a few minutes," he said.
McCarthy said the best thing to do if a person falls through the ice and can't climb out is to extend their arms over the unbroken ice, call for help, and move as little as possible. Exerting yourself by kicking or thrashing will only accelerate the heat loss from the body, he said.
Meteorologist Frasciano said it's unlikely that most bodies of water in the area will be safe enough for recreational purposes anytime soon. While it will be cold during the coming week, temperatures will start rising by next week, keeping the ice from freezing to a safe depth.
"If they want to skate, they'd be better off going to the ice rink," he said.

Group 1 winning colt Extreme Choice's odds have remained solid at the top of the market order for the Group 1 $500,000 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday.
Extreme Choice is currently the $3.10 favourite for the Coolmore Stud Stakes with Ladbrokes.com.au and trainer Mick Price agrees with the bookies and said that his colt is the one to beat.
"I think his last 200m, he's the strongest finisher," Price told the Herald Sun.
"It's won him a Blue Diamond and a Moir and it will win him a Coolmore."
Extreme Choice was a brilliant two year old as he showed in winning the Group 1 $1.5m Ladbrokes Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield during the Melbourne Autumn Carnival and then returned in the Spring as a three year old to win the Group 1 $500,000 Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley on September 30 and Price is confident that form is good enough to beat the Sydney three year olds.
"We'll spank them," Price said.
Craig Newitt knows Extreme Choice extremely well and has been in the saddle for the Written Tycoon's two Group 1 wins in the Blue Diamond Stakes and the Moir Stakes and will give him a great ride down the Flemington straight from barrier 3 in the nine horse field.
Price will also saddle up Flying Artie who is rated an $11 chance coming off a last start win in the Group 3 $350,000 Catanach's Jewellers Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on October 12.
Cox Plate winning jockey Hugh Bowman replaces the suspended Damien Oliver on Flying Artie who has shown plenty of improvement since his first up win according to Price.
"The Coolmore Stud was the race these two horses have been set for since they've been two-year-olds," Price said.
"I was planning on running Flying Artie first-up in the Coolmore Stakes but he came to hand quicker than what I expected,"
"That run has done him the world of good."
Sydney colt Astern is on the second line of betting at $3.40 and trainer John O'Shea has him primed to redeem himself after a surprise first up defeat by Russian Revolution in the Group 2 $300,000 The Star Roman Consul (1200m) at Randwick on October 1.
"I can't fault him, he's settled in well and trialled very nicely since coming to Melbourne," O'Shea said.
On the third line of betting at $4 is the Team Hawkes trained Star Turn who has also settled into his Melbourne environment with a win against the older horses in the Group 2 $400,000 Mitsubishi Electric Schillaci Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on October 8.
Unfortunately Golden Slipper winner Capitalist won't be able to take his place in the star studded field of three year olds after he was scratched from the Coolmore Stud Stakes this morning after suffering a stone bruise to his near for foot.
Coolmore Stud Stakes market order at Ladbrokes.com.au: $3.10 Extreme Choice, $3.40 Astern, $4 Star Turn, $10 Russian Revolution, $11 Flying Artie, $31 Saracino, $41 Derryn, Archives, $67 Monolo Blahniq.

Earlier this week, new mom Beyoncé stepped out to debut her post-baby body for the first time. Decked out one night in a body-hugging red number and another in a glittering black cocktail dress, B was out in full force to support her hubby Jay-Z when he took the stage for a two-night engagement at New York's famed Carnegie Hall.
B certainly left her fans speechless with her ability to bounce back to hotness just a month after giving birth to baby Blue Ivy, and her former Destiny's Child pals were equally floored. Michelle Williams dished to MTV News, "Man, "She looks fantastic, amazing, amazing, amazing. I wasn't surprised because even before she was pregnant she had a six pack, she was very toned. So, obviously it just went back very quickly."
Fellow DC gal pal Kelly Rowland also can't handle how Beyoncé is bringing sexy back one hot dress at a time. "She looks fantastic. She looks fantastic. I told her she looks so hot!" Rowland exclaimed. "She looks so hot — just even sexier. Love her!"
And Williams noted that it's not just Beyoncé who is doing well these days, but so is 1-month-old Blue. "Absolutely! Absolutely [I've seen everyone]!" she said. "Everybody's doing fantastic, amazing."
Williams' sentiments about Blue Ivy mirror those of comments Rowland previously made about J and B's glory. "She's absolutely beautiful!" Rowland said back in January. "And I say that with such a huge grin! I'm so excited.
"We all just stared at her," she added about meeting the baby for the first time. "I just stared at her. She is so beautiful."
Are you excited to see pictures of Blue Ivy? Leave your comments below!

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
Getting kids to brush their teeth can be a struggle, and parents have been looking for ways to make teeth-brushing time easier since the invention of the toothbrush. Recently, the Mehlville-Oakville Patch, a Montanta news source, reported that a local dentist has invented a color-changing toothpaste that he hopes will make kids want to brush.
Howard Wright, D.D.S., invented Vortex, a toothpaste that changes from red, to blue, to purple as people continue to brush.
"I think part of being an inventor is you think really wild and then bring it in to reality," said Wright, quoted by the news source. "I thought about how to get kids to brush their teeth. What if you got the toothpaste to dance and do the Macarena on their tongue?"
BabyCenter.com spoke to child psychologist Penelope Leach about effective ways to get children behave while brushing their teeth. She says that having a footstool by the mirror so kids can watch themselves as they brush sometimes helps. Also, it doesn't hurt to highlight the most fun part of brushing - getting to spit when finished.

Expanding educational facilities to children, the UPA government has opened nearly 20,000 elementary schools across the country after it came to power last May.
According to a report card, released by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today, 19,247 primary and upper primary schools have been opened in 2009-10 till December end.
These facilities include 7,400 primary schools and 11,847 upper primary schools. Over 35,000 teachers have been appointed in this period and 9,708 additional classrooms constructed.
Similarly, 26.62 lakh teachers have been provided in-service training and 9.54 crore children given textbooks, the report said.
Government has launched Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan with the objective of improving access to secondary education.
Clearance has been given for setting up of 2,478 new schools and improving 6,998 existing schools under the scheme, it said.
These initiatives assume significance in view of the enactment of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, which makes education the fundamental right of every child. The Act came to effect from April one this year.
To promote girls' education, government has started a scheme for the establishment and management separate hostels for them in the educationally backward blocks. During 2009-10, approval has been given to set up 379 such hostels in 11 states.
Similarly, in higher education, the government has embarked upon a number of initiatives like setting up of 16 central universities, six IIMs, two IITs and ten NITs.
The IIMs will be set up at Rohtak, Raipur, Ranchi, Tiruchirapalli, Kashipur and Udaipur.

Watch P.Reign's newest visual for "Pon Tour".
Toronto rapper P.Reign drops off a new visual for his track "Pon Tour". This will eventually see life on his upcoming project Dear America, which is a rather fitting title considering he's still trying to make a name for himself on U.S. soil.
For this new visual, P takes us overseas to Europe to hang out with Drake and the rest of the OVO crew for the "Would You Like a Tour?" P had a closeup view of everything happening for the shows, which makes for a great perspective and video. A cameo from the Weeknd never hurts your visual either.
Watch the new OVO visual above. His new mixtape, Its R World, is dropping June 17th.

Will the current smartphones from Apple and Samsung be able to step up to the new competition they face? According to Steve Ranger of ZDNet, the industry is seriously lacking in the innovation department, and these giants are a big part of the problem. While up-and-coming manufacturers are busy cranking out more affordable products, fancier features, and unmatched industry innovations, Apple and Samsung appear to be sticking steadfast to the same strategies. Will smartphones move on without them?
Life is good for consumers looking for better specs on affordable phones. LG plans to debut its third generation L Series models at the upcoming Mobile World Conference in the end of the month. Raising the bar for low-end phones, even the humblest of the new L III, the L40, features a 3.5-inch display, a nice 3MP camera, a small but adequate 512MB of RAM, and a rather impressive 4GB of internal storage. These sturdy, reasonably well-equipped smartphones are poised to capture what little remains of new users in a market that is trending toward affordability over branding.
The new competition doesn't stop there; if LG has a lockdown on new low-end users, others are jumping in to snatch the remainder of the new smartphones market with high-end phones to face direct competition with Apple and Samsung. Techies are abuzz over the new Xperia UL and Xperia Z2 from Sony. Also set to launch at the 2014 Mobile World Congress this month, the new models represent challenging innovations such as 5 inch screens and professional-level cameras. Sony is cranking out the innovations and upgrades faster than the market demand; a possible sign the brand believes they are ready to compete with brands in the turnover smartphones market.
The other contender that should have Apple and Samsung's attention is Lenovo, who is on a record high and not expected to come down. Profits are up, mobile technology is up, and with their new acquisition of Motorola Mobility, their global competition is poised to rise as well. Meanwhile, Apple contently cranks out the iPhone for the 6th year in a row, Samsung is still satisfied with the nearly four-year-old Galaxy S series, and neither are generating the same excitement they once did.
Then comes the curveball; what if a handful of innovative new companies completely changed the game? Upstarts such as Phoneblocks, Project ARA and now ZTE might be doing just that.
The new face of the competition threatening the future of smartphones from Apple and Samsung might look a bit like Mr Potato Head. ZTE is pioneering a concept that environmentally-conscious consumers and techies are both begging for; customizable modular devices. The race has begun, and as of right now, there is still time for major brands to abandon their mass-produced models for a modular version with upgradable parts and be the first to reach the market. However, change is risky, and hesitant manufacturers may look at reinventing their brick phones as being as useless as reinventing the wheel, losing their place on top of the very competitive smartphones market.

No doubt you will be thrilled to learn that we now live and work in a "gig economy."
That's the latest corporate buzz-phrase from Silicon Valley. CEOs are hailing a Brave New Workplace in which we lucky worker bees no longer have to be stuck in traditional jobs with traditional hours, traditional middle-class pay scales, traditional benefits, traditional job security and all those other fusty "traditionals" of the old workplace. In fact, in the gig economy, you don't even get a workplace. Rather, you'll be "liberated" to work in a series of short-term jobs in many places, always being on-call through a mobile app on your iPhone or through a temp agency. How exciting is that?
Well, they use "exciting" in the sense of distressing and nerve-wracking. The gig economy means you're on your own — you're not an employee, but an "independent contractor," with no rights and no union. You might have lots of calls to work this week, but there'll be many weeks with no calls. Don't get sick or injured, for no health care or workers' comp are provided. A pension? Your retirement plan is called "adios chump."
This "alternative work arrangement" is not a futuristic concept — it's already here and spreading fast. Some 16 percent of U.S. workers are now in this on-call, temporary, part-time, low-pay, you're-on-your-own economy, up from only 10 percent a decade ago. Corporate chieftains (backed by the economists and politicians they purchase) are creating what they call a workforce of non-employees for one reason: Greed. It directly transfers more money and power from workaday families into the coffers of moneyed elites.
Their gig economy is aptly named, for "gigs" are crude four-hook fishing devices that're drug by commercial fleets through schools of fish to impale them, haul them in, and cash in on the pain.

Does hot chocolate take you back to memories of your childhood like it does me? I remember my mom getting out that dented little pan to warm up some milk and make some steamy hot chocolate for us on those cold winter days. She warmed the milk oh so carefully so it wouldn't burn. Then she would squeeze in just enough chocolate to give it taste and if we had some on hand we always added marshmallows!
One of the best things about hot chocolate is the way if feels in your hands! Heck! Half of the experience is just holding the mug and sniffing that rich chocolaty aroma!
I am sharing a sweet little connecting activity with you today that I hope will help you create some warm memories that you will look back on some day with your children and perhaps even carry on for the next generation.
You might like to do this activity with your little ones just before bed or when they get home from school to allow them some time to melt into the warmth of their relationship with you and experience a deep sense of connection and safety. This activity could be easily adapted for use in the classroom with individual students or as a connecting activity for your class as a whole in your Brain Smart Start.
However you decide to do this activity, remember that it is important that it include eye contact, touch, presence, and playfulness. Don't get too caught up in the words or motions, enjoy the time with your child, relax and be present.
Here are the steps to doing the activity:
- Hold your child in your lap.
- Form the shape of a pot with your child's arms.
- Pretend to pour milk into the "pot".
- Holding your child's hands make a stirring motion with your arms as if you are stirring the milk with a big wooden spoon.
- Squeeze your child's arms, hands, legs, or feet to pretend that it is the chocolate syrup squeezing it into the pot.
- Gently poke your child's tummy or cheeks as you add the "marshmallows".
- Wrap your arms snug around your child and give a hug.
- Last, but not least, drink up that yummy hot chocolate as you enjoy smiles and giggles all around!
If you are interested in more developmentally appropriate activities that include hot chocolate be sure to check out my post over on Pre-K and K Sharing. There is another free printable over there that will help you teach your children to take that deep calming breath when they are feeling upset and need to relax.
Go ahead, grab a cup of hot cocoa, print out the poster and put it up on the fridge so you are ready to snuggle in close with your little ones. This is one connecting activity that is sure to warm your hearts!

What's my body type? The complete guide
Your body type influencing how you will react to the workouts and nutrition. In this guide, you will learn how to determine your body type in order to prepare yourself a suitable workout and nutrition plans!
When I just started exercising, I've been shocked from the variety of the different workout plans, the supplements, nutrition plans and the information anywhere. Many of these plans were contradictory to each other, and I had no idea what to do.
As a result, I have been working out for six months without a really small result and no motivation to train.
When I was a beginner I thought that the more I train, the bigger I will be. I have been following a professional bodybuilder workout plan and the result was a small increase in my weight.
After I was reading that my body type is Ectomorph, I learned about my metabolism and the difficult to incrase my weight. As long as I knew I am Ectomorph, I learned that I need to focus on my calorie intake, more rest, and not much aerobic exercises.
That's why it is important to learn your body type, to fit your workout and nutrition plans for your needs.
There are 3 differnet body types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph.
I will describe each body type on my next article.
Thanks for reading!

Why is Obama partnering with China?
Exclusive: Kathy Shaidle recaps radio news mainstream media won't talk about
Michael Savage
On Veterans Day, Dr. Savage praised "those who died in wars before me" for ensuring his right to free speech (Free audio).
"As sure as I'm sitting here," he added, "Obama and the acolytes around him would steal my freedom of speech if they had the power to do so."
One story that didn't receive much attention in the mainstream media this week would seem to prove Savage's point. He noted with disgust and amazement that "for the first time in American history," the Chinese military was taking part in joint military exercises with U.S. troops (Free audio).
"I don't believe for one second that these are so-called disaster relief exercises," Savage told his audience. "I think Obama is giving the Chinese a little feel for the terrain."
Rush Limbaugh
Limbaugh has done the math, and concluded that Obamacare has actually created more uninsured Americans, rather than reducing the number as the law was supposedly intended to do.
Limbaugh pointed out, "There are now 4.8 million policy holders who've had their insurance canceled."
Meanwhile, he said, according to the Wall Street Journal, only about 50,000 people have successfully signed up for Obamacare.
"So the real numbers are five million cancellations compared to 50,000 insurance plans bought," said Limbaugh.
In other words, 100 policies have been canceled for each new policy purchased under Obamacare.
Rush also feels vindicated for making all those jokes at the expense of Sandra Fluke, the college student who wanted the rest of the nation to pay for her birth control. A new series of cheesy pro-Obamacare ads are promoting promiscuity, not just affordable health care.
Limbaugh described the ads as saying, in effect, that, "Obama care will get you your birth control pill so you can get him and you can get her and you can get the between the covers.
"This is exactly what, I forgot the woman's name now Snerdley, the one that was in that fake congressional hearing, press conference, when she was asked basically says, 'I want to have endless, limitless sex,' and was like, 'I want you to pay for it,'" Limbaugh continued. "And I was like any normal, responsible person: I was insulted by this."
Aaron Klein
Klein was profiled in the latest edition of Talkers, the "bible" of the talk radio industry.
"Aaron Klein simply breaks all of the stereotypes of today's talk show hosts," wrote Jeff McKay. "He's just 34 years old. He does not lean liberal or conservative, nor does he speak in political talking points. … His radio show doesn't just talk about the news – in many cases it breaks the news – broadcasting half a world away [in Israel]."
On the air this week, Klein had a revealing exclusive interview with a former United Nations inspector of Iran's nuclear sites. Also on tap: an analysis of John Kerry's sinister intentions towards Israel and a talk with a former CIA chief who talks about why the NSA was spying on world leaders (Free audio).
Mark Levin
The Washington, D.C., "ruling class" – right and left – is "insane," declared Mark Levin this week. The establishment mocked conservatives like Levin, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and others for criticizing Obamacare and predicting that it would be a colossal failure. Now these same elites are feigning surprise that the new health-care system is proving to be a disaster (Free audio).
As an expert on the Constitution, Levin was in his element when he interviewed Indiana State Sen. David Long, who is planning an "Article V" convention. The "Mount Vernon Assembly" will explore ways to restore America to its constitutional roots (Free audio).
Laura Ingraham
Sarah Palin slammed her former running mate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., while speaking to Ingraham this week. McCain recently insulted tea partiers as "hobbits," leading Palin to declare she is "proud to be a hobbit" if that means demanding that the GOP establishment hew to true conservative principles. If the Republican Party doesn't reform soon, Palin warned, it risks becoming a thing of the past, like the old Whig Party.
The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger also came on to call Obamacare "the biggest federal fiasco in living memory" (Free audio).
Glenn Beck
Beck was joined by "Dirty Jobs" star Mike Rowe to offer a master class in career success.
Beck revealed his personal "secret to success," one that he says can work for "80 percent of people these days": show up, pay attention and just do what you're tasked with doing. Then, he added, do five percent "more than that," and one day you just might be running the company (Free video).

You always want what you can't have — especially when it comes to beauty products. That's why we're getting the inside scoop from your favorite retailers on what's selling out right now, how to sign up for waitlists, and where to go to find the next best thing. Because if everyone's buying it, you know it has to be good.
"Holy moly, my new holy grail!" "Magic in a bottle!" "Love everything about it!" These are just three of the hundreds of glowing reviews for Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation. Clearly, despite the fact that the product hit the market four years ago, excitement for the formula hasn't waned. This week alone, all but one shade of the foundation sold out at Sephora.
We're not surprised. After all, the formula is the perfect medium-coverage blend for winter. It's buildable, long-wearing, and leaves a natural, satin finish on the skin that never clings to dry patches.
Although a number of shades have been re-stocked since Monday, we suspect they won't last long (especially since the foundation is currently on sale). Missed your chance to buy but still need your fix? Check out five alternatives in the slides ahead.

The first one isn't unusual, especially since I'm using FAE as a base, but I need to emphasize it to myself because lately the characters I've been making usually have a lot more than three stunts' worth of stunts going on. I don't want to give my players too much to look at on the sheet. I picture a really clean layout, with stunts in callout boxes connected to aspects.
I want to connect each one to an aspect to make everything feel that much more interrelated. I like FAE's stunt sentence construction of "Because I'm a whatever, I can do whatever," but if I include an aspect in there, it's a little more smoothly integrated. I think it'll make the idea of the stunt easier to swallow.
And the ideas behind those stunts aren't going to engage with the mechanics quite as directly as they usually would. I mean, look, it's really easy to say "Because I have Robot Fists, I get a +2 to attack with them." That's a totally fine stunt. The issue is that I have no idea how much arithmetic my players are going to tolerate. Even experienced gamers forget the odd +1 or +2 here and there. I don't want any of that going on, because I don't want them to feel distracted by the math, simple though it may be.
The next most common stunt is probably skill substitution -- y'know, "Use Athletics instead of Fight to attack when fighting unarmed" -- but since the total lack of skills here would make those meaningless, that's not really an option.
As I mentioned yesterday, I initially made these characters for an Apocalypse World hack (Thrilling World, I guess?). In that incarnation, each playbook had about three custom moves. So... hey, stunts! AW-style stunts! These are pretty easy to do in Fate.
Here are a couple for Sparks:
- Because you're the Marshal on Mars, when you're acting in your capacity as a representative of the Mars-Earth Coalition, they can either do as you say or give you a fate point.
- Because you have Robot Fists, when you punch someone with them, they have to check an extra trouble box.
And here are a few for Croach:
- Because you are Under Onus to Sparks Nevada, whenever you are in a scene with him, you start with a free boost called Onus.
- Because of the Sacred Nah Nohtek within you, you heal extremely fast -- clear an additional physical trouble box at the start of every scene.
- Because of your Martian Physiology, whenever you try to perceive something in your environment, you get a +2 bonus to your roll if you mention how you're using one of your 28 senses in the process.
Right now, you're probably jumping up and down and screaming at me about how I said I wanted to avoid bonus-oriented stunts. That's a perfectly reasonable reaction. I'm okay with them if they look like that last one. It's not a passive bonus that's easy for you to forget; you have to make a roleplaying choice to activate it. As long as nobody has more than one of those, it oughtta be okay.
But hey, what's this "trouble" thing about? It has something to do with this guy:
But what? Find out next time! You can probably guess already!
