Week 47
Well, it's been a good week in Mid Missouri. The weather has really changed, even getting almost cold in the evenings, the leaves are falling(which really isn't good news since that means I'll have to rake them all up) and the Royals keep on winning. I actually managed to get a game in every night this week, with probably the exception of Sunday, unless the girls help me out in a little bit, but to be fair, one of those was a playtest of a game on Tabletopia and the other was the continuation of a game on BoardGameArena, but hey, I'm counting it. I'm hosting a game night at our house on Monday, the group was kind enough to join me here so I didn't have to find a sitter for the girls on Monday night. So I should thank them publicly. Hoping to get some Game of Thrones LCG 2nd edition in and who knows what else. Kerensa is busy making plans for her convention that starts on Monday so she's been busy all week, hopefully after it's all said and done, she'll be able to relax a bit. We're also wrapping up volleyball for now on Thursday so there will be a bit more spare time for a week or so until Gabby decides to try something else out. I've caught AnnaBeth playing Blokus by herself a time or two over the last week or so, think maybe it's time to teach that one to her and see how she does. But in the meantime, let's talk about what we've actually played this week!
Monday was a state holiday, but not a school holiday so Kerensa and I had the day alone at home and we decided it was best spent finally throwing every expansion we have into the box and playing a gigantic game of Carcassonne. Now, I know that folks have more expansions than we do so it's not really a big gigantic game in the grand sense of the word, but we did use the base game, Inns and Cathedrals, Traders and Builders and the Count, King and Robber, so it was pretty big by our standards since we normally just play with Inns and Cathedrals. So we sat down and learned the rules for the two expansions that we hadn't played yet and 20 minutes or so later we were on our way. I really like Carcassonne, I like that it can be played as mean or as nicely as you want to play it, you don't have to play it one way or another to have fun or to win, unless of course it's a two player game and the other player just wants to be a jerk the entire game. But we don't play that way, well, most of the time we don't, we do have our moments of swooping in and stealing another city or finishing off a road, but for the most part we're pretty even about how we play. The Count, King and Robber actually adds in a way to help the other player but in the long run you help yourself as well. If you finish off a player's city or road, you can take one of your workers and put them in a spot in the city that has become the starting area. This allows you to later use that meeple when you complete another area, either a road, city or even take over a monastery. At the end of the game it could allow you to place a farmer on a field to help out as well. But the Count is used to counteract that a little, every time a meeple is added to the city, that player can move the count to a different area in the city and block that action from taking place until he is moved again. In all I thought it was a pretty cool addition to the game and I used it one time to a huge advantage for me in order to steal a 50 point city from Kerensa, she was none too happy about that and I maybe did that a little early in the game, because it gave her plenty of time to plot her revenge. The King and The Robber portion of the expansion didn't seem to add a whole lot, just a way to score at the end of the game based on whichever you possess. You get the King by completing a city that's bigger than any other city completed and you get the Robber by completing a road longer than any other road previously completed. What these allow you to score at the end of the game is 1 point per completed city if you have the King or 1 point per completed road if you have the Robber. Not a small amount of points, especially on a larger area like we were building. As far as Traders and Builders go, the trader part really didn't seem to add a whole lot to the game just a majority scoring at the end of the game, in which I owned all three majorities. The builder on the other hand is a fantastic addition I think, it allows for double plays, so you can plan a little better and hopefully good tile draws will allow you to benefit quite a bit from it. On any road or in any city in which you have a knight or a thief. You simply place the Builder on a tile that you place in one of those two areas and then the next time you extend it, you pull the builder off and take another turn. Pretty simple really, but it adds a lot to the game I think. This one that Kerensa and I played was a nail biter. Took us about an hour and a half to play it all out, fighting over areas, building the finest Carcassonne in all the land. I held on to the King the whole game and Kerensa held on to the Robber, I never could get a road of any substance or finish one of hers that would have given me the Robber. But anyway the final score was 265-264 with me eeking out a win. Kerensa even recounted the completed roads about 3 times just to make sure that she didn't miss a point from the robber. I don't know if we'll play it like that everytime, but you know what, it really was fun that way, lots of new tiles to see, lots of new things to try out and to have it come down to 1 point after all that time was a lot of fun.
The final Tile
Oh, and that play finally bumped our H-index up to 16 meaning that we've now played 16 games in our collection at least 16 times. It's going to take some work to get up to 17 as a handful of those games are just at 16, but we'll get there. I like keeping track of our H-Index, but I don't necessarily want to go chasing it. Plays should happen organically, not on a schedule, at least in my opinion.
Tuesday's game was almost missed. I had completely forgotten that I had signed up to play test a game over on Tabletopia, but I remembered at the last minute and made sure I could get in there and ready when Ryan Laukat hopped in. We were playing Islebound. I'm not really sure what all to say about the game yet, because I didn't think to ask Ryan after we played, but I will say that even on Tabletopia, the art shines through and looks wonderful. The game plays just as cool as it looks as well, although you couldn't tell by my showing, which was pretty horrible, but I'm going to chalk that up to the other folks being more familiar with Ryan's games. This one had a neat board which had islands spread out and you are moving your ship to and from these islands to gain benefits. You also have to manage your crew, exhausting them at some points or even injuring them. Really neat game, and if I get a chance to test it again over there I will say more about it. As a matter of fact if you check the forums for Islebound, anyone can join in and help. Playing this really pushed me wanting to get Artifacts, Inc and The Ancient World to the table soon and seeing everyone's pictures of Above and Below is making me sad that I haven't backed any of his games yet. I was going to back the City of Iron 2nd edition and Dingo's Dreams but I backed out of that and I kind of regret it, oh well, thus is the life of a wishy washy Kickstarter backer.
Wednesday, Bill, James and I finished up our game of Seasons, that we started after Troyes last week. This one did not go as well for me as our previous game of Seasons did. I struggled the entire time to get crystals and when I started having enough, I started having to "donate" them to Bill when I wanted to summon anything or when the season changed, he was a verifiable Crystal Hoovering machine and the final score showed that with Bill winning with 200 points to James' 138 and my lowly 109, that may be my worst score to date and it's my 16th play. I think the only points I managed were from cards, I may have had 10 crystals at the end of the game. Way to go Bill, that was a butt whooping for the record books. Now, let's see if James and I can reverse this trend with The Palaces of Carrara.
Thursday I was out of town for work in Kansas City, and after asking around and checking out meetup, I found a group that meets on Thursday night at Tabletop Game and Hobby. Firstly, the store is fantastic, when you find it. It takes a bit of driving around in the strip mall area to find. My iPhone was of no help as it showed me at the location when I pulled into the parking lot by the Wal Mart, but I did find it and even though I was about 45 minutes late, I still managed to play a couple games and watched a big portion of Between Two Cities being played. But anyway, the selection in the store was fantastic, they have everything popular and new that you could want, but also maintained a nice selection of older titles as well and the prices seemed to be a bit below MSRP, but I could be crazy. I found the section with GMT games and was tempted by a couple titles there, but the train section is where I was really tempted and I almost walked out of there with either 1830 or 1853. They also surprised me by having a nice little shelf of titles from Victory Point Games, which I don't remember ever seeing in another store I've been to, so kudos to them. So anyway, I was wandering around and someone asked if I was looking to play a game, and I said sure and then sat down to my first play of Steampunk Rally.
Steampunk Rally is a race game from Roxley Games. The game supports up to 8 players and we played with 6. It has a neat modular board where you can make the races as long or as short as you want and has 108 dice! That's right, it has a lot of dice. Anyway at the start of the game each player gets an inventor, I believe I was Marconi, and they get two pieces to their racing invention that you get to put together in a way that makes sense, connectors must connect, etc., in other words, don't be stupid. On these ship parts are slots to put dice and those dice can either power your invention forward, repair your invention, get you dice of other colors or possibly most importantly, remove dice from your invention, as once a die is placed, it stays and occupies space until it is removed through that action. So during a turn there is a card drafting phase with each player getting four cards, you pick one, add it to your ship or discard it for the resources it gives, and pass the remaining cards in your hand to the neighbor on the left or right, depending on the round. After that is over, the players may "Vent" their dice by spending cogs that they have earned to reduce the number on a die by two per cog, if the die would go below 1, it's discarded from the machine. This is important because those dice stay there otherwise and aren't activated each round, they are used one time, even if you have another slot to add more dice to, the new die are the only ones that count. Then you roll all your earned dice that round and you use them to activate different parts on your machine to move or gain other benefits as I said earlier. Driving your invention through different landscapes can cause damage, and if your damage falls into the red, you have to discard parts of your invention equal to the damage done at the end of the round. Without going a whole lot further into it, that's how it's played. We did a short race and quickly we realized that you can jump out to a big lead, but you're probably going to be losing some parts at the end of that round, it almost seemed best to kind of stay even and not really push out as hard as you can until you get some clean movement that doesn't cause damage. The game doesn't end after someone crosses the finish line, that just signifies that there is one more round left. The gentleman who owned the game jumped out and crossed the finish line before everyone else and I managed to get within one spot of him in that final turn just because I said forget it, let's damage this machine since I had built it up fairly large and had the parts I could drop, I just didn't have enough dice to get there. Our game was pretty quiet and I know this could be a raucous game as it's got plenty of fun randomness. I'll chalk the quiet down to the fact that I was new and no one knew me. Really is a fun way to do a racing game, I love the idea of building your racing machine as you play, means you have a lot more invested in the game than just picking a car or something and going. I like the ever changing state of your machine and how you always have to be trying to draft different parts to get different synergies with your dice. This might be one that I add to the collection sooner or later, as I think the game group would enjoy it and I also thing that Gabby might get a kick out of it too. Glad I got to play this one.
Next up was a game of Nevermore, but first I was going to go back into the store and buy one of the aforementioned games, but little did I know, the store actually closes and the back room stays open to allow the players to play for another couple hours after store closing. Someone said they made a last call, but I never heard it sadly. But anyway, back to Nevermore. We played this one with 3 players with the person teaching being one of the Double Exposure Envoys a group that I sadly need to work with more, but I just don't have the time it seems. But anyway, this is another drafting game, but you are trying to eliminate the other players. I'm not going to say too much about this one as I don't think three players is a very good player count for it and that's what we played at. It has some interesting give and take aspects in it, but I think it's going to fall into the "more the merrier" line. Just remember this is a Smirk and Dagger game though, it can be a bit confrontational at times, which isn't bad, just like to make folks aware of that. I would play it again, just to see, but I'm in no rush to go out and pick this one up.
Also on Thursday I finished up a game of Castles of Burgundy on boiteajeux with Brad and Kate. This one took us awhile, since one of us likes to pretend to be too busy to play games all day. But we got through it and surprise the guy who didn't rush through it, got the win by 4 points. I started scoring too late, but I did manage to grab a couple bonus tiles to add to the map that got me within those 4 points, I'm honestly surprised I ended up scoring that much, but all around this one was fairly close, usually our games of Castles have at least one of us being back pretty far but this one ended 214-210-197, everyone pretty close and within a few tiles of winning. I still love playing Castles, mostly played on boiteajeux though, but that was my 82nd play combined online and on the table.
Other than that, only one other game was played this week and I played it a whopping 5 times so far, but that's pretty easy as it's a small box solo/two player game, but I've only been playing solo so far. Onirim is a card game for 1 to 2 players where you are trying to navigate through dreams to find the 8 doors to get out. I've only played the basic game so far and I think the box came with something like 7 expansions to add to the game to make it more challenging, or at least make it feel a bit different in the challenge, but I'm having a hard enough time with the basic game that I'm not sure that adding expansions is the best idea right now. The game is hard, at least for me it has been. In the five games I've played the most I've been able to get is 5 of the 8 doors. But you start to see different strategies and try them and fall on your face or get a bit farther so you keep trying. I dig it, and hopefully I can get Gabby to play this one too and see what she thinks about it. I'll post more about Onirim and Sylvion as I get more plays of them, right now, I'm still just trying to wrap my brain around it all.
Star Realms, oh Star Realms, I really don't know what to think. Suddenly I'm back to winning more than losing and it's just really weird as I seriously don't change anything to do with my starting tactics. Maybe I'm back to adjusting to the available cards better or maybe I'm not using Play All as much as I normally do. I believe in league I have hit 4 wins and 5 losses, getting back to 500 again. Once again, thank you all for the games, even when you are kicking my butt, keep the challenges coming and I'll keep accepting.
Chris and Joe from the Cardboard Architects are back with us to talk a little bit about what they've been playing, but putting a bit of a designer spin on it. Take it away guys!
Time 15:44 in the podcast
Thank you for that guys, I'm the same way with Star Realms, but I've played the physical copy probably a dozen times, now most of that is because Gabby likes playing it that way, but also I do enjoy it as well. My 725 games online though are to me based on the fact that it's horribly convenient to play a game that I enjoy that way and also, it takes away all the fiddliness of scoring and moving cards around. I can definitely see where Joe is coming from on it though, it really is a solitaire game in building your deck, even though you do go head to head, the interaction is minimal, and Dominion is the same way, but I enjoy Dominion almost because of that, it allows me to look at everything and try to find that card engine that works together, rather than have to worry about what someone else is going to do to me. But then again, I like multiplayer solitaire games a lot of the time, I'm kinda weird like that. Thank you guys for hopping in and joining us this week, even though you did just put in Blue Jays propaganda on a Royals dominated podcast.
Alright, before we talk about Kickstarter and all the other stuff we normally talk about, I thought I'd answer a question that was posted in our guilds, well, one of a few questions that we received. Please feel free to add more, we'll hopefully answer more as we go. But Aaron and Stephanie wanted to know if we had played RPGs before or if we still do. Well, here's the answer.
I never played RPGs while growing up, in fact, I wasn't a huge gamer for the most part either. I was the kid who was into sports, but played video games too, but even those were usually sports related games except for the normal Zelda and Mario games, not a lot of fantasy or RPGs. My taste in video games did eventually evolve and I started playing more RPGs on the Xbox and the PS3 eventually and that kind of got me to try my first tabletop RPG three years or so ago. We tried to get a regular group together for a D&D 4th edition campaign, well what happened was I tried to get us together for a regular board gaming night, we played Super Dungeon Explore, Formula D, Legend of Drizzt and met a couple times, but then they all started discussing D&D and wanting to get a group together for that, so that group evolved into an RPG group and I joined in and I had a good time, but D&D 4th was the complete opposite of what I thought a tabletop RPG was supposed to be, we weren't really role playing much, we were more or less playing with miniatures on a table, discussing tactics and rolling dice so I kind of fell out of that and the 4th ed campaign eventually just went Poof. The rest of the guys have been working on a 2nd ed campaign and have been for a couple years, but only meeting sporadically. But I have heard talk of a 5th edition campaign being run with the same group so I can hopefully get into that, as I actually went and bought the beginner box as soon as it was announced because I really want to try one and have fun with it. I've also got Mouse Guard sitting here, that never got played because I just don't think I was up for running one, plus Gabby was really the only person I could get interested enough to even think about rolling up a character, and now the 2nd edition is out and available so once again, I'm behind the times. I also have a couple other books around that I wanted to try with the kiddos but the time never worked out, Hero's Quest and Fairies Tale. And I've bought two copies of Fiasco but they've never been played by me, Brad and Kate have borrowed the book and have played it at least once, but I was not part of that play. Online I have played a couple games on RPGGeek during the play initiative, a couple years ago I played Do Pilgrims of the Flying Temple and I really enjoyed that one, but it's more of a story telling game and I think that's why I enjoyed it and then last year I was part of playing Monster of the Week, which was awesome, but completely carried by the other people in our group as I was lost through a lot of it, just not sure of what my part in the party was going to be for a lot of it. I did eventually get comfortable but man, my role playing was nowhere near the level of some of the others. More than board games, role playing games seem to require a lot of time, time that I don't seem to have, I'd love to, but I don't. Maybe if I didn't play so many board games I would though, but I don't think that's going to change any time soon. In case you are wondering, video game RPG wise I've loved quite a few of them, but the one that really got me going into RPGs was World of Warcraft.
Kickstarter World's Fair 1893 has about 9 days left on the campaign and is sitting at just shy of $33k in funding, really an amazing number I think and I can't wait to see what these last few days hold as far as backers go. We've been voting on which exhibits and such we would like to see in the game as we progress through the campaign. Honestly, this campaign has been kind of nice, no worries about stretch goals, just interacting with the creators and giving some feedback though voting. Once again, if you haven't heard our review, be sure to check the pinned post on the blog, or also go back to Week 44 of the podcast and around the 8:28 mark we talk about it and give a review there as well, plus my lovely wife Kerensa joins me to talk about it as well.
World's Fair 1893 Kickstarter Page
Great Dinosaur Rush is sitting at just over $18 funding with 36 days to go in this loooong campaign. It has funded, Spiel week was good to the campaign and now we are on to working on some stretch goals. I do worry about this one getting lost in the shuffle a little bit just due to the length of the campaign but being that it's Ape Games teaming up with Scott Almes I trust that it's going to pick up the pace pretty soon.
Great Dinosaur Rush Kickstarter Page
Which brings us to the new game that I am backing, Kodama from Action Phase Games and designer Daniel Solis. For those familiar with Daniel Solis' work, you may recognize a part of this game from his game Kigi, which I believe is available from Drive Thru Cards online as well as a really nice Japanese version. But it seems that Travis from Action Phase Games liked Kigi and wanted to work with Daniel to get it onto Kickstarter with a couple changes.
Here are the differences in Kigi and Kodama: THEME: In Kodama, players cultivate homes (trees) for the kodama. PLACEMENT: In Kodama, there is no pruning, but rather a 10 point scoring cap for placement that encourages diversity while leaving players with a beautiful tree by the end of the game. Additionally, players now only place branches on their own trees. FEATURES: Not only are all of the features updated to help represent the theme, there are now six features as opposed to five. GOALS: In Kigi, goals came in the form of Commission cards that were shuffled into the branch deck. Now, players are dealt four kodama cards, three of which they will score over three seasons. SEASONS: Play is now divided into three seasons: Spring, Summer, and Fall. At the beginning of each season a Decree will be revealed which will add or amend a rule in the game--adding more replayability and strategy to placement. After placing four branches, players will select one of their Kodama cards to score. At the end of three seasons, players score a final Kodama card and a winner is determined!
In Kodama, the players are growing a tree through placement of limb cards, being careful to allow for room for growth. At the end of each round Kodama will award points based on how well you filled its needs with your tree. This one really looks like it's going to be a beautiful game on the table, it gives off a little feel of Greatest Treehouse Ever, without the card drafting, instead you are choosing your limb cards from a central display of cards. At $19 this one was really a no brainer for us, but we went ahead and backed it at $27 for the upgraded edition with the extra decree cards, Kodama cards and some wooden bits with stickers. At $41k we've already unlocked 6 of the stretch goals, but the $50k one looks really interesting as it'll make the game a bit more accessible for even younger kiddos to get them playing with you.
Acquisitions So, I was chatting around on Twitter earlier in the week and I happened upon a conversation where a certain person, whom I really trust about games, called a certain game jokingly, "Farming for Trains". Immediately my eyes opened wide and I searched through the conversation to see that they were talking about Snowdonia. Snowdonia has been on my wishlist for quite awhile now, so after asking a couple questions and getting nothing but positive responses, I searched it out and was going to order it from Miniature Market was doing their 10% off everything sale for Halloween, but that sale broke their site in about 2 minutes and they cancelled the sale. So then I turned to the mighty Amazon and found it for cheaper, so I bought it on the spot and it arrived on Thursday. If you really want to know how our collection of games has grown over the past three years or so, this is a perfect example. Word of mouth from people I trust, it's just too bad I trust quite a few people, and they like way too many games. My 2015 Acquisitions Geeklist on Board Game Geek has grown to almost 3 full pages, now, not all of those are purchases, and most of those Kickstarter games listed have not arrived on our doorstep yet, but they will eventually, I was so happy to see the last update for Forged in Steel and Project Dreamscape, but still, almost 75 games in a year is quite a few, I'm glad I was keeping track this year, hopefully this helps quell 2016 a little bit, but we'll see.
Podcasts So, since we were talking about RPGs a little bit, I thought I would mention a couple podcasts that I listen to that talk RPGs. First off I am not going to say The Secret Cabal, while I love the Cabal, I rarely have time to listen to an entire podcast from them, so what usually gets dropped is the RPG stuff, I'll listen to their reviews and the news and that's about it anymore. For my RPG fix I kind of like what the Board With Life group is doing, they are giving us two different RPG sessions in two different shows, one using the Apocalypse World campaign called Houses and Humans and another cast using D&D 5th which is hosted on Board With Life Radio. I believe that Houses and Humans is done right now, I've not listened to the last couple episodes but it hasn't been updated since September 10th, I really do need to catch up with it. Now, before everyone jumps in and listens to them, I will say that they do contain explicit language at times, I'm fine with it, it's my ears, but just wanted to warn everyone. Now, both of those are podcasts with actual gameplay, as for other RPG podcasts I listen to, I do enjoy The Mad Adventurers Society Potelbat, but from what I understand any of the Mad Adventurers Society podcasts should be good to listen to. I've also recently started listening to Out of Character with Jon Forrester. He really likes to cover a lot of different aspects of role playing games and just gaming in general over his podcast and I've learned quite a bit from listening. The Gaming and BS podcast is another that I listen to from time to time when they have something that may be of interest to me, like this past week they covered what it takes to jump from player to Game Master. There is one other that I listen to as well, should have grouped it up with the actual play podcasts, but it's The Adventure Zone. I'd say if you're looking for a little RPG adventure in your podcasts, you won't go wrong with any of these.
Okay, I think I am going to wrap up Week 47 right here with a nice fancy role playing bow and pose a question for folks in the guild or outside the guild. What is your favorite RPG setting, and what would be your favorite class to play. Or, if you're more into the independent RPGs like Fiasco and such, what is your favorite RPG system?
Hop over to the Guild on BGG to answer!!
Don't forget, we love feedback and I hope that you all can see that any feedback that we've gotten so far we've tried to run with and make the show better. I'm thinking of adding bumper music in between segments as that's something that I've always been told is a good thing to do to make the show sound more professional, but that's not going to be an immediate thing, but I'll be working on finding the right music to guide us through segments. Also, if anyone, and I mean anyone, wants to contribute, we'd love it. I like making this show with a few more voices than mine and my family, which I need to get back on soon, but they've been busy, well most of them have, AnnaBeth has no excuse. Just shoot me a message on Board Game Geek, Twitter, email or smoke signals for that matter. Just let me know. Also, I hate to ask for reviews, but I'd love to see a review or two up on iTunes if folks have the time and feel like they'd like to give us a good review.
But most of all I just want to say, Thank you for listening and we'll be back next week at the same time, same place. Have a great week!

These bracelets can also be stacked and mixed and matched with each other or with other bracelets…

I do get a thrill out of giving that girl, who thinks she's now an adult and shouldn't get spanked, the spanking of her life. Which is just what Annie got!
Annie's First Spanking!
Annie's mother sent her to me for some good ol fashion discipline. This spanking was for her constant partying and staying out at all hours.
Half way in the spanking I realized that at 19 she shouldn't be drinking at all, because of her age, so I stepped up her spanking and gave her the bottom warming of her life!

Elements of this video are, REAL spanking, Male Domination, Daddy/daughter, real contact spanking, female submission, bare bottom spanking, daughter spanked by dad, dad spanks daughter, painful spanking, naughty adult daughter

Arizona Conference
I just returned from this excellent conference in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson is a beautiful city. And I had a very enjoyable time listening to a variety of talks in moral philosophy and had many interesting discussions with participants over lunch and dinner. I gave the presentation above on the duty to extend the biological warranty period.

Trinity Requiem:
The Choral Music of Robert Moran
Trinity Youth Chorus; The Esoterics;
Musica Sacra
Innova 224
To mark the tenth anniversary of 11 September 2001, the Trinity Church Wall Street (Ground Zero) commissioned Philadelphia-based composer Robert Moran to compose a requiem for the Trinity youth choir. The Trinity Requiem is a marvelous and moving work; the piece is scored for harps, cellos, and organ, and the youth chorus is joined by only a few adult members of the Trinity Choir.
The "Introit" begins the piece with two long chords that, to me, appear as a summons or calling forth to witness the tragic events of our time. The youth chorus then begins with the Kyrie, reminding me very much of the purity of one of my favorite choral pieces, the Faure Requiem, but with something more modern added, an other-worldly sense that I hear in the music of Arvo Part. The offertory in the middle of the Requiem consists of a beautiful, yet somewhat melancholy, interlude that allows more space for reflection than does the music set to text.
On the recording, a siren is heard passing the church at the beginning of the offertory. This was not planned, of course, and Mr. Moran explains in the liner notes that they decided that the "alarm" was worth preserving as a reminder that the World Trade Center had been just behind Trinity Church ten years ago. The simplicity of the "In Paradisium" section, which closes the piece, while tinged with melancholy, also leaves one with a sense of serenity and peace.
I'll be playing the Trinity Requiem some time during my show, Classical Sunrise (6 AM to 9 AM) on WTJU 91.1 FM, Sunday, 11 September, as part of my own effort to commemorate this tenth anniversary of 9/11. Please tune in. I think that you'll be moved by what you hear.
NOTE: This program is available in the WTJU Tape Vault through September 25, 2011 if you miss the live broadcast.

I have always loved dolls. For Christmas Mom made me a rag doll one year. In the depression era doll heads could be bought for a small price. So Mom got one, made a body and attached it. Made a dress and slip, stockings and a checkered dress out of a flour sack, but the most wonderful of all was a pair of high-topped black shoes with seams so they looked real.
We drew names for Christmas at school. We had no money for that but I'm sure Mom did what she could.
The Christmas Eve program came. The teacher had decorated a tree and to my eyes it was beautiful. Up in that tree was a sweet baby doll about eight inches tall. I just knew whoever had drawn this other girl's name had gotten her that doll. I just knew it was hers, but wished it were mine, and when the name was read it WAS mine!

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

Knoll & Pregizer KP info
Goldsiegel-Uhren (Gold Seal Watches) Kape & Lotos are for watches. KP is always on the jewelry but also marked on the back of the watch cases. A couple of the movements on the Goldsiegel and Lotos watches I own have the KP mark on the movements. Most of the times the movements are just marked SWISS and probably from generic movement makers.

Harry Reid: No Health Care Vote Until FallThe AP reported: Senate Democratic leaders on Thursday abandoned plans for a vote on health care before Congress' August recess, dealing a blow to President Barack Obama's ambitious timetable to revamp the nation's $2.4 trillion system of medical care. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., delivered the official word on what had been expected for weeks, saying, "It's better to have a product based on quality and thoughtfulness rather than try to jam something through."
Some of you may have been lulled into a false sense of security because of a brief delay in Nancy Pelosi's House health care nationalization bill. Don't be. Talks are back on and Pelosi aims to pass the bill next week or shortly after:
This is not the time to let up. The calls and faxes from patriots all across the nation are the only reason this bill has been slowed down in the first place. The Democratic opposition is rebuilding momentum now because our intensity is flagging. It's time to get back on the ball immediately.
1) Sign this petition: http://www.freeourhealthcarenow.com/form.php
2) Call these seven Democrats:
Zack Space (D-Ohio): 1-202-225-6265
Reps. John Barrow (D-Ga.): 1-202-225-2823
Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.): 1-202-225-4231
Baron Hill (D-Ind.): 1-202-225-5315
Jim Matheson (D-Utah): 1-202-225-3011
Charlie Melancon (D-La.): 1-202-225-4031
Mike Ross (D-Ark): 1-202-225-3772
These are the so-called "blue dogs" on the Energy and Commerce Committee. With the right pressure they can stop this from even coming to a vote. Tell them you oppose government-run health care and that you know that's exactly what the House bill is. Obviously these congressman aren't from our district, you might get some flack about calling outside your district, simply explain that this legislation effects everyone, and that you are more than capable of sending campaign contributions to opponents of the aforementioned representatives, regardless of district. Usually, though, you won't get any nonsense about that; the people who answer the phone are used to receiving calls from other states and other districts. Be polite, but be firm! NO NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE! PERIOD! Hands off our health care. End of story. If someone tries to argue with you tell them not to bother; you know what they're up to and you're not buying it. If you get an answering machine that's fine; just leave a message. If you get a busy signal, call back.
3) Call your own representatives. If you want to email and fax them in addition to calling them that's even better, but BE SURE you call them. That's the most immediate and effective way to go on record for or against any kind of legislation. Here's the contact info for Congress: http://www.house.gov/. If you don't know who your Congressman is you can find out by looking in the upper left hand corner where it says "Find Your Representative." Just enter your zip code in the space provided; a link with your representative's name will pop up. Follow the link and you should be able to find all of your representative's contact info. Usually there will be either be a "contact" tab that will take you directly to your representative's contact info or a "services" tab that opens up a drop-down menu that includes a "contact" link.
4) Lastly, SPREAD THE WORD! It's high time people started to wake up. If there are people you know who don't have this info and don't know what's going on, enlighten them. They must be awakened. If you have your own Facebook group, send the info out that way. The media does not get our message out, so it's up to each of us to be the Paul Reveres of the 21st century.

WATCH Tarantula Hawk
Starting with the Wikipedia definition seems to be the best way to start an article like this, mostly to make sure both you and I understand what it is that we want to discuss.
A tarantula hawk is a spider wasp which hunts tarantulas as food for its larvae. Tarantula hawks belong to any of the many species in the genera Pepsis and Hemipepsis in the family Pompilidae (spider wasps).
The more familiar species are up to 5 cm (2 in) long, with blue-black bodies and bright, rust-colored wings (other species have black wings with blue highlights), making them among the largest of wasps. The coloring on their wings warns potential predators that they are dangerous (aposematism). Their long legs have hooked claws for grappling with their victims. The stinger of a female tarantula hawk can be up to 7 mm (1/3 in) long, and the sting is considered the second most painful insect sting in the world... Read More

V soboto in nedeljo sta potekali dve tekmi na Poljskem - v Zakopanah. V soboto je potekala ekipna tekma, v nedeljo pa posamična.
On Saturday and Sunday we were watching two competition in Poland - Zakopane. There was a team competition on Saturday and an individual competition on Sunday.

V soboto večjih težav z vremenom ni bilo in je tekma potekala brez prekinitev. Zmaga je pripadla našim skakalec! Čestitke fantje! Drugo mesto so osvojili Nemci, tretji so bili Avstrijci. Tekma je bila neodločena do zadnjih štirik skokov, ko so se Avstrijci in Poljaki pomerili za 3. in 4. mesto, ter Slovenci in Nemci za 1. in 2. mesto.
There was no bad wind on Saturday so the competition ended without any pauses. Slovenian ski jumpers were the winners of the competitions. Second was Germany and third Austria.

V nedeljo pa smo spremljali še posamično tekmo. Zaradi močnega vetra in občasnega dežja je prva serija poteka kar 2 uri in pol! Zato se je žirija na koncu odločila, da druge serije ne bo.
The weather was completely different on Sunday. Because of a lot of changing wind and rain the first round lasted for 2 hours and a half. So the jury decided that there won`t be any final round.

At Reunion, it's a good place to be a dog. With lakes, 10 miles of trails, and 150 acres of parks, there's a whole lot of walking, fetching, and sniffing to be done. As any pet owner knows, however, there are times when reinforcements are needed, like when you go on vacation or just don't have the time to fit in daily walks and belly rubbing....

Many times in my life i have struggled to promise young people that their lives will get better. All these decades later as so many still face school bullying, harassment and even violence, I know I am not the only one who feels the growing weight of obligation to make sure that the lives of young people actually do get better. Not someday, but now.
FIRST: Idaho's anti-bullying law doesn't even mention gay kids.
SECOND: Tragically Idaho has the third highest suicide rate in the nation. Nationally 1/3 of teen suicides has to do with young people's struggles coping with issues of sexual orientation or gender identity. Too many American kids do not feel safe at school, welcome at church or accepted in their own homes.
THIRD: Suicide is not the only tragedy to come from rejection, fear and a lack of legal protection. Too many young people find themselves more vulnerable to drug addiction and depression as they face these issues alone in rural communities or in silence in our cities.
FORTH: Anti-gay bullying is one of the most common forms of bullying in schools. Here still some teachers fear addressing anti-gay harassment in classrooms because at times teachers have faced disciplinary measures simply for mentioning the word gay. And because Idaho's anti-bullying law doesn't mention any specific kinds of bullying, it leaves open for some students, teachers and parents to believe that gay kids might be an exception to the anti-bullying rule.
If we are going to plead with Idaho's young people not to despair or ever consider self destructive acts like suicide, then we have an obligation; That obligation is to be sure that we change Idaho law so that gay kids are clearly safe and protected.
We must do all we can to make sure it gets better now-- not years from now, but now.
Saturday, January 29th will be a statewide day of vigils, rallies and events to support safe schools and fair employment legislation to protect gay Idahoans from job discrimination and Idaho kids from anti-gay bullying. If you are a business person, straight ally, young person or anyone who wants to help organize an event, large or small in your community, let us know. I will pass your information to Lindsey Matson who will work to connect you with other people in your community or area who also want to help.
See photos and more from events in 11 towns across Idaho on Jan 29 and get involved in passing legislation this year. http://4idaho.org/humanrights

The day was hot, then again, every damned day was.
Morgan pivoted on the creaky old stool he was perched upon and spat. A wad of amber-coloured gunk zipped across the empty space and landed in the charcoal fire with a satisfying hiss. The drink had been one of 'Aunty' Sullivan's concoctions that promised to leave anything but a nasty taste in the mouth but inevitably fell short. In this case, alertness had been the goal: so far he hadn't been alert to anything but the vile goop still lining his gums.
It was his own damned fault really. Between having to pull extra hours to make ends meet in the sparse, dusthole of a town and Travis running to him every other day with 'urgent news' of some 'salvage that had to be investigated-right-now-no-time-to-lose' a good nights rest was a luxury he could no longer afford.
It wasn't that Euden's Rook (The Rook, as the inhabitants called it) was as desolate or dangerous as some other parts of Marvis county. It was just a place people passed through on their way to somewhere more interesting. It was built a short stroll from the '85 road some hundred years ago. Exactly when was hard to say, keeping accurate historical records hadn't been a human priority for a long time. In any case wanderers had claimed it, renovated it, invited some people to stay and now here they all were, fifty miles east from Brackstone, eighty miles south of Hamilton, and scraping a living in the dirt.
The residents, at least, were a colourful bunch. There was the eccentric Mabel Sullivan; the closest thing the Rook had to a doctor, one who invariably treated everyone like rambunctious children regardless of their age, gender or species. Rothwell, the owner of the town's only bar, who spent half his days cursing and sweating in his basement brewery and the other half drinking away his profits. The town's few laws were enforced by the portly Sheriff Carter and his small team of officers, most of whom were either too old or too young to go prospecting, or simply hadn't the heart to take the risk. But while Carter was the law in The Rook, it's true leader was Yosef Logan.
He was the big farmer whose family had claimed the dozen or acres of semi-fertile land that lay nestled in the shadow of the mountain-like rise past the northwest quarter of the settlement some four generations ago. There wasn't a man, woman or child who lived in The Rook who hadn't bent their backs picking beans and corn for their supper there at one time or another. Yosef himself was largely regarded as a kind of father figure: admittedly a somewhat grumpy and tight-fisted one, but kind-hearted enough to those who were prepared to put in a hard day's work. His son however...
Morgan shook his head in negation. Now wasn't the time for idly hostile musings when he had a commission to finish. He sighed, and returned his attention to the old rifle on the bench.

By the time we left for Texas on Friday morning, we were right on schedule. Friday night I spent inside watching Psych with my sister. Correction: I fell asleep about 15 minutes in because I was exhausted.
Saturday was our first full day in San Antonio, and it was packed with things to do. We woke up and went to the Farmers Market at the Pearl Brewery. So much fun! After we bought some things, we walked around the extended Riverwalk. It's awesome on that side (no tourists). It was a crisp morning so we stuck around to eat some food from a local cart.
|Era resting on a bench, a gorgeous view of the Riverwalk, the entrance to The Grotto, and fish suspended over the Riverwalk
Then, we headed to The Monterrey. Our friend, Albert, is head chef over there. When everything was still in the planning stages he was telling me how varied the menu is and that there was a good mix of vegan food. The Monterrey is basically San Antonio's answer to a gastropub. It's a truly gorgeous setup. There's a back patio with tons of tables and a real comfortable vibe. Just ignore the online menu because it changes all the time. There is guaranteed to be something substantial and vegan/veganizable on the menu, though.
This was our first trip, and Albert treated us right. First, he sent out the Housemade Pickles and French Fries. When ordering the pickles, be sure to mention you are vegan and do not want the kimchi. The fries come with anchovy mayo. Simply ask for ketchup, but you totally won't need it! They are coated in this DELICIOUS seasoning. Some of the best fries I've ever had.
|pickled radish, daikon, carrots, and shiitake and maitake mushrooms
|seasoned to perfection and perfectly crispy outside with a tender inside
|smoked root vegetables with celery jam
|delightful! splendid! magical! awesome!
After the Monterrey, we went to Limelight because Era had a gig there. My sister, brother-in-law, and brother showed up. We danced the night away and got to burn off some food calories. Haha. It was a truly exciting and exhausting first full day home!

The Internet Can Be Great Envato & Envato Tuts+
How often do you come across something that makes you think – Wow!
I used to love art but was frustrated so much my shading and shadows that I gave up.
I just can't get the concept of shadows, was taught that a shadow is basically a darker shade of the color it was on, but just couldn't see it, or more to the point, couldn't reproduce it in any color painting.
Although this article isn't talking colors the way it talks about Learning to See Light and Shadow is mesmerising – Improve Your Artwork by Learning to See Light and Shadow
After reading the article I looked on the authors Bio page – Monika Zagrobelna, the Envato Tuts+ homepage and finally the Envato homepage.
All I can say is what brilliant sites and concept.
I've never heard of Envato before, no idea how long they have been around, how popular they are or anything, but I know one thing – This is what the Internet should be like.

A tale of a librarian / witch with a cadre of acolytes who must fight a penny pinching town counsel to maintain their club's funding…. this weeks episode: 'Call the Gang Together'
Betsy was busy lighting candles in Alexa's spacious attic. The large, round stained glass windows on the west side let in streams of colored light. She enjoyed the quietness of the room before the others would arrive. It was the one place where she felt completely centered. She was where she belonged. Here, with her friends, she really felt connected.
She went to an ornate armoire and retrieved a black silk hooded robe she wore when the 'study group' met. Pulling off her jeans she stretched and slipped the robe over her. She loved the feel of the smooth silk on her bare breasts. Her pert nipples pointed the fabric as she tied a white cord around her firm waist. Three small brass skeleton keys jingled from the belt.
"The others have been called, they should be here shortly," alexa said coming up the stairs. She had changed into her hooded black silk robe belted with a braid of gold around the waist. She grabbed a bottle of red wine from a rack of bottles on the wall and started emptying it into a caldron over a small flame.
"I heard the news about the cuts yesterday and wanted to sleep on it before bring the issue up before the group," she said to Betsy who was sitting in one of the large leather chairs reading one of the old bound books of enchantments.
Alexa went to a collection of jars and stared gathering an assortment of special leaves to add to the wine mulling in the cauldron.
"Do you think there's any chance they'll table the proposal?" Betsy asked.
"I have a feeling that Ms Potter has some serious issues." Alexa replied.
Alexa continued warming the wine, mulling it with apples and herbs. Betsy kept herself occupied with the old book until they heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
Michael, Veronica, and Peter arrived together. Along with Betsy they formed Alexa's 'study group'. What they were studying where practices in the field of applied metaphysics. Or at least that's what they told their other classmates. If any bothered to ask them.
After the acolytes finished changing, Alexa address the group.
"Changing the votes of the council using overt magic directly against the members of the board was of course possible. But the brute force solution brings its own problems of backlash and then the witch hunts begin." Alexa had seen that happen before. "Working together, brining indirect influence, we will change the votes." And corrupt the council more completely.
"The council needs to see how the consequences of their actions would hurt others. They needed to see the people who would most be effected by these short sighted cut." Alexa said filling five chalices with warmed wine. "Yes, the members of the council should meet the people who will most directly be impacted by their cut. You will meet with them and through you, they will see the importance of the library".
As the group eventually broke up and they were getting set to leave, Alexa reminded Michael that he needed to stay behind.
"I think you have another session with me, Michael," she said. "The rest of you are dismissed, and good night".
As the others left, Michael removed and put away his robe in the armoire. He had grown tall and lean over these last four years Alexa reflected. He walked over to stand in the center of a white circle painted on the floor. Alexa approached with a jar of cream. Taking a dollop of the healing ointment and applying it to his stiffening erection, she applied it liberally. She watched, pleased as it slowly started working its magic along his shaft. Lowering herself to her knees it was time to help Michael 'work through some things'.
