What Are You Doing Tonight At 8:30? - tribunedigital-chicagotribune
February 23, 1999|By Steve Johnson.
Spend enough time with television and you will become suspicious of most things about the medium, including the numbingly familiar campaigns to save another supposedly worthy series and the proclamations that such-and-such a program is bending the rules of TV in fascinating ways.
So you can imagine my queasiness at saying this: "Sports Night," ABC's frequently praised but less frequently watched first-year hybrid of comedy and drama, needs and deserves many more viewers. It is as interesting and rewarding as any show on TV, the season's best new series and one of TV's finest live-action, as opposed to animated, sitcoms.
I will pause to wash my hands of the feeling that this could be interpreted as just another case of a TV critic crying wolf or trying to land his laudatory words in a network ad.
With its 16th episode airing Tuesday (8:30 p.m., WLS-Ch. 7), "Sports Night" does not yet need the praise, just the people to watch it. There is, it seems, the beginning of a groundswell for the show, but the folks who supply my anecdotes are apparently not also Nielsen families. It was in 55th place in a recent week, with half as many viewers as the sixth place "Touched by an Angel."
Those who do watch find many reasons to celebrate Aaron Sorkin's ultrasavvy backstage portrait of the production of a nightly sports highlight show not unlike ESPN's "SportsCenter."
There is the trademark deft, stylized, overlapping dialogue, inspiration for so many bad impromptu parodies begun when two people discover one another's affection for the program.
There is the skill and charm of the six-person core cast (see photos above), making that dialogue sound, if not exactly natural, then hypernatural and right for the frenetic, backstage-at-a-TV-show world in which it exists.
There is the visual vibrancy, with cameras that actually enter the set and angular close-ups that get tighter and tighter, more in the manner of cinema than traditional half-hour television, as a scene progresses.
There is the essential hominess of the series' workplace family, giving the show's layers of irony and skepticism a warm place to sleep at night. Sorkin is the writer of comfortably populist movies, including "A Few Good Men" and "The American President," and "Sports Night" is middlebrow enough that it presents viewers with a likable batch of characters.
But mostly there is the almost overwhelming density of it, a near clutter of ideas and themes and stories that demonstrate that TV-series rarity--trust in viewers' intelligence--and make other programs look anemic by comparison.
Here, more or less, is the ground covered in one 23-minute episode earlier this season: Dan, one of the show-within-a-show's anchors, was being ordered to apologize on air for advocating decriminalization of marijuana in a magazine article. (The network said it had to project an image of "good health and clean living," to which Dan responded, "I'll think about that the next time I'm reporting on how the Miller Genuine Draft car did in the Winston Cup.")
The other anchor, Casey, unmoved by the potential PR crisis, was more worried by the article's propensity for making him sound uncool. The show's producer, Dana, was fretting about the show's set starting to look washed out. Its senior associate producer, Natalie, was trying to fix up Casey and Dana, while also revealing her feelings for Jeremy, the junior associate producer.
Jeremy was editing his first highlight package, philosophically unable to reduce a routine Cubs-Marlins baseball game to less than 8 1/2 minutes. And Dan kept insisting that one of the network's morning aerobics hosts was stalking him, which Casey just as strenuously insisted was self-flattering fantasy.
These notions bobbed in and out of the story almost at random, challenging the viewer to pay attention, paying off more each time they surfaced, and adding layer and layer of texture.
Then came the episode's coda, Dan's emotionally naked on-air apology not to viewers but to his dead younger brother for leading the boy to drugs. In other hands, this could have played as a cheap Hallmark moment, the trite lesson at the end of a "very special episode" about drug use.
But against the rich, often glib backdrop of "Sports Night," it felt like a genuine human revelation, the logical and yet surprising place to which all of this business was building. It not only said something about the complicated reality of drugs, it also demonstrated how talented, iconoclastic people can survive within corporate strictures and deepened viewers' understanding of the character.
And it was made all the more resonant when Dan's best pal, Casey, did not deliver the anticipated hug. He offered a kind of subtle, verbal equivalent, asking his partner for guidance on what was and was not cool.
"Sports Night": One of TV's sharpest series is back on...

gm techniques - What's a good way to deal with Random Encounters inside Dungeons? - Role-playing Games Stack Exchange
We're currently playing D&D Next Playtest and every 10 minutes of dungeon turns or such I make a random encounter check. However, sometimes I feel my random encounters are too random and unexciting.
Last time, the party was exploring an insect based dungeon and then a group of Fire Beetles, running scared of - I don't know, they were just scared and show up, and the Druid of the party calms them down and... Well, the party just leaves and decides not to check what scared them. To be honest, I don't even know what did and I don't think I would be able to come up with something interesting since they pretty much popped out of no where from a dead end on a corridor.
I've been using Paizo's random combat tables since I converted some Pathfinder Monsters on them to Next material, and some times I read the monster manuals and I think "Well this creature seems quite neutral, how the heck am I gonna deal with them in an interesting way?".
Today the party ran into a corridor flooded with Boilborns, and just said "well, we'll just take the other corridor". In fact there was nothing interested to find there (besides being grossed out and disturbed). They just advanced and dealt with it.
So, sometimes random encounters come in corridors or uninteresting rooms, and I have no idea how to make something random interesting. Specially those damned neutral creatures since I hate the whole factions/negotiations stuff inside dungeons and usually they explore places with creatures that can barely even talk.

\$\begingroup\$ I can't quite tell: is the problem just that they're not interesting? Are the players uninterested? (how do you know?) Are you bored by the random encounters? Or are you asking what to do with non-combat random encounter results? \$\endgroup\$ – SevenSidedDie Jul 3 '14 at 5:55

\$\begingroup\$ As a general resource for making encounters meaningful and interesting, I think this (large) article is a great read: angrydm.com/2013/05/… . I might post a rundown of that as an answer, if I find the time and nobody beats me to it. \$\endgroup\$ – TheRubberDuck Jul 3 '14 at 12:43
Do not stop at random, ever.
That is the one answer I believe is appropriate. Why do you even want to have a random encounter in a dungeon? To surprise your party? You can do that without resorting to randomness.
Interrupting resting by a random attack can also be a good reason, as giving the players an atmosphere of impending danger, when you roll for random encounters periodically. Be wary though, that it's different to have a set encounter with a random monster ("the door opens and you see..." roll "two kobold guardians"), a random encounter with a predetermined set of monsters (roll "the patrol of two kobold guardians is apparently in another corridor, the road is safe" - roll again in 15 minutes game time) or both of those.
Remember that it's not only about creating interesting encounters. It's about creating an interesting dungeon. And that's done when a dungeon is not just a set of disparate encounters. I'm not saying that random encounters should be avoided. I am saying though, that it's actually harder to make an interesting dungeon when you use random encounters.
Use the encounters for pacing
If your party stumbles upon a block and can't figure out what to do or advances through a part of dungeon without anything of note at the moment (remember that no parts of a dungeon should be uninteresting walking space, but it may be that in a seemingly empty, bland corridor a later twist happens, like a series of doors opening or the floor is replaced with lava only after the players take some action, e.g. recover the treasure or flip a switch).
Plan your random encounters
Plan how many random encounters you would like to incorporate and when that is going to happen. It doesn't have to be very precise, but establishing to yourself that you will expect two or three random encounters will help you manage them properly.
Plan your dungeon around the randomness
Leave a space in the dungeon that will accommodate for a random encounter. this part, be it an unplanned additional room or corridor will be your "randomness sink". Use it to justify the random encounter and provide a small reward if the characters choose not to ignore the encounters. It helps
Example: Say two random encounters happened: a wight and a gelatinous cube. You look for a link between the two, and make a note. Say you figure out that the jelly secretes acid and paralysing agent. A wight is an undead raised by violent death and suffering. Following that, in your unplanned room your put a large alchemical set, some books, desks and evidence of experimenting. A few clues point out that an unknown alchemist tried to extract a new anaesthetic from cube's jelly. Something went wrong and upon ingesting the extract, alchemist died horribly and was raised as a wight. If the players has seen the wight they can figure it out with a successful INT roll. Let them have a bit of jelly, and they can extract a bit of that poison for themselves. Suddenly two bland encounters are interesting and engaging. Do it a few times and your group will never skip an encounter as "boring".

\$\begingroup\$ Random encounters are also used to effect the difficulty of resting. \$\endgroup\$ – GMNoob Jul 3 '14 at 12:27
\$\begingroup\$ Oh yeah, fair enough, then that's even more reason to plan them. Amending... \$\endgroup\$ – eimyr Jul 3 '14 at 12:51
\$\begingroup\$ Random encounters can also be used to provide the impression of a "living dungeon" by having encounters in areas the players have already visited (and cleared out). It's another good situation to plan random encounters, though - a patrol of kobolds is likely to get more and more jittery if they keep on encountering corpses. \$\endgroup\$ – GMJoe Jul 4 '14 at 6:41
I can think of two possible ideas.
Alter the terrain. When the fire beetles come rushing in, have them also create holes in the walls, or ground. And have the tunnel they create become a shortcut to an interesting part of the dungeon, nearby. Create cave ins or blockages.
Cheat. If a random encounter doesn't seem fitting to that location, then pick the random monster 1 up or 1 down, or even two away from what you rolled if you think it would be more fitting for that section.
Alternatively, you can try to use the improve techniques featured elsewhere on the site. For example, you might change up the monsters a bit. These are fire beetles, AND /BUT, their feet are covered in water, or they have saddles on them. You did well in having them come in running scared, but you likely didn't project enough to the players that they were scared of something unusual. Try making the strange or unique thing about the random monsters more obvious in their physical description.

web services - Collecting/Processing headers in PHP Soap Server - Stack Overflow
Collecting/Processing headers in PHP Soap Server
2 I'm creating a web service using PHP5's native SOAP Methods. Everything went fine until I tried to handle authentication using SOAP Headers.
I could easily find how to add the username/password to the SOAP headers, client-side:
$myclient = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
$login = new SOAPHeader($wsdl, 'email', 'mylogin');
$password = new SOAPHeader($wsdl, 'password', 'mypassword');
$headers = array($login, $password);
$myclient->__setSOAPHeaders($headers);
But I can't find anywhere the methods for collecting and processing these headers server-side. I'm guessing there has to be an easy way to define a method in my SoapServer that handles the headers...
php web-services soap share|improve this question asked Jul 6 '09 at 17:03
SoapClient uses the username and password to implement HTTP authentication. Basic and Digest authentication are support (see source)
For information on implementing HTTP authentication in PHP on the server side, see this manual page.
If you don't want to use HTTP authentication, see this user-contributed sample on the SoapServer manual page which shows how you could pass some credentials in a UsernameToken header.

answered Jul 6 '09 at 17:17
I am trying to catch headers using just the SOAP Library, so without HTTP authentification. And I've tried the user-contributed sample you mentioned, but it only seems to work when I'm not using a WSDL Definition. Maybe I have to define the headers in the WSDL, I'll keep searching. Thank you for your input tho.
Yes, you need to define the headers into the WSDL file.
You can try reading RAW POST data.
print( htmlspecialchars( $xml );
In $xml you will have whole SOAP XML request.
SoapServer does not have methods for reading SOAP headers.
edit: contributed example from manual does not seem to work, header handling method never gets called
share|improve this answer edited Jan 17 '10 at 10:21
answered Jan 17 '10 at 10:07
You have to use a current version of PHP. With PHP 5.2.4 I had the same problem, but with 5.2.17 or 5.3.8 the callback for SOAP header handling (described in the user-contributed samle on php.net) gets called and everything works pretty fine.
share|improve this answer answered Oct 18 '11 at 6:40
With a modern PHP version it is NOT necessary to add anything to the WSDL as the headers are part of the SOAP Envelope specification.
The user contributed example cited by Paul Dixon does not work simply because the header is not UserToken as written in the comment, the header is Security, so that's is the name the class method should have. Then you get a nice stdClass object with a UserToken stdClass object property that has Username and Password as properties.
Example code (to be inserted in a PHP class that implements the SOAP service:
public function Security( $header  ){
$this->Authenticated = true; // This should be the result of an authenticating method
$this->Username = $header->UsernameToken->Username;
$this->Password = $header->UsernameToken->Password;
Works like a charm for Username/Password based WSSE Soap Security

Wow, I can't believe how the tone of your blog has changed from when I first found you, before the fire, when you were an inspiring story to me of someone who is living out their dreams building a natural farm in Australia...to someone who has become practically an expert on forest fire.I'm sorry that your dreams have changed as a result of this experiance, and yet, you remain a fascinating read.I am thankful to be connected to you through the internet. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thanks for your thoughtful/informative blogs. We look forward to your next 'open day' (we came last year) when hopefully this topic will be fleshed out a bit more. CFA's Community Fireguard Groups try to do some of what you have suggested - it's getting people motivated to be involved that's the hard part. We're in the process of getting one going here - a lot more interest now than before - funny that!Sue
Thank you for your thoughts Nomad. Although we knew we were always at risk from bushfires and had developed a number of defences, we really didn’t expect to have to put them into practise. We certainly didn’t expect to get caught up in a natural disaster of this magnitude. Luckily for us, the fire was not as fierce in our area and we managed to retain a narrow ring of green around us. It would be devastating to have to have nothing to look at, but black forest for months or years to come. We haven’t diverged from our dream though. At the moment we are working on plans to build a hothouse (for expanding our winter food crops) and finishing off a mudbrick structure which we could then use to start teaching permaculture.SUEYou’re absolutely right Sue, getting people to be motivated is the hard part. The other thing is that the fireguard groups vary in their effectiveness. At an After the Fires Forum, (which was excellent) some of the people were saying that their fireguard groups were basically a social event- a community bbq and not much more. So everything depends on interest, thinking through the issues and then making the effort to take action before these events take place.
Hi Andrew & Heather,Thankyou for your comments Andrew. I think it was only in the last day or so that I found your blog, and the story of your fight against the fires was enthralling and daunting at the same time. It was great to read of your experiences and get an idea of what worked. Your planning obviously paid off!We're only just starting out on a path you seem to be quite well along, and it's inspiring to read how it has all come together. I'm not sure we can wait as many years as you did before moving out though, that must have taken some willpower!I agree with you on the case manager idea. Our salvation has been our independent certifier, he's been able to cut through a lot of the waffle for us and been there as a voice of reason on a number of occasions (and we haven't even got up to the building bit yet!) I wish we'd engaged his services before we'd started submitting plans.Hopefully once things settle down from the fires you'll have time to "pen" the post about your house design hinted at a while back, I'm looking forward to it!All the best with the ongoing recovery. I remember walking through the Blue Mountains a season after one of the big fires went through and was amazed at how swiftly nature recovers. Hopefully you see the same there.Cheerio,Geoff

I'm still kickin', y'all, which is probably apparent from the commenting on other blogs. :-) As for those who guessed at how I looked different...yes, it's the hair color. I saw come pics of me with the dark hair (which kept getting darker every time I dyed it), and just wasn't feelin' it anymore. So, I got blonde highlights, and I'll be heading back to blonde a bit at a time.
Since I've been gone, I've been to Texas for a week, and brought back a kid with me for ten days. The kid is now back in TX, and tonight is opening night for "Seussical," a musical based on the Dr. Seuss books...and The Princess is not only in the production, but has four costumes, and six total changes. As Pioneer Woman would say "lawsie mercy."
I've become obsessed with scrapbooking. Three-and-a-half days of uninterrupted cropping, and now I can't stop thinking about the pictures and the layouts and the cost (!!!!) of it all. I'm going to an eight hour crop tomorrow, where I will hopefully get more than one page completed. It takes me FOREVER to get my creative juices flowing, but since I've been thinking about it so much, I'm pretty sure I will do well.
I'll be back soon with my Texas pictures, and kid pictures, and Seussical pictures and tea pictures (again!). Because you know that's how I roll.
Wow you have been busy! Congrats to your daugther in the play. I know you are a proud momma!
I'd been wondering about you, (and apologize, for forever ago, I was all "I'll send you an email!"), so I was glad to see you pop up in comments!
You have been busy, but it all sounds like great fun!
Oh, yay! You're still here!!
You had a visitor kiddo for 10 days, sounds like another party! And a play and scrapping? Ah. I'd imagine that's great fun.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. How on earth did you find me? And please, come back soon. I will make cookies.
I read your previous post about feeling far away from God and finding your way back...right there with you, sister.
Congrats to your Princess in the play. Post pictures!
I love scrapbooks... can't get enough of the hoarding, the cutting, the sticking. I'm fairly sure mine are less complicated and creative than yours though.
Hey - Bossy's daughter will be in her local community theater's fall production of Seussical -- she's JoJo!
What is the Princess - as Bossy has now become something of a Seussical expert (not, she should mention, willingly.)
I'm still kickin', y'all, which is probably appare...

Mom is still alive - Field Trips in Fiber - Adventures in quilting, hand dyed fabric and other arts.
« Mom's second day of quilting | Main | March Books »
I expect that when she gets home that she will sleep for 2 days. She's been working so hard since she's been here. Today she's quilting her last quilts, 2 charity baby quilt panels. Someone in her guild proposed that they make baby quilts for some charity and then proceeded to bring in a stack of really cheap baby quilt panels! Ugh. They are fine practice but not fun. She says these are the last of these that she will be doing.

Love the uncomplicated quilting. Gonna go try some right now. Also, wanted to let you know that the "new" Dawn Pure Essentials with Sparkling Mist scent plus your soaking method worked like a charm to remove year-old bleeding from a deep deep navy hand dye (that I had prewashed on hot in the washer) onto a commercial beige print. Thanks so much for saving my quilt!!

Your mom has quite an assortment of quilts. No one can pigeon-hole her into one style! The progression of quilting you taught her was a good lesson for anyone starting out.

Your title threw me off a bit, as my 91 year old mom lives with me. It's awesome that she's going strong! Don't tell her to slow down - if she can keep up the pace, let her.

Tales of your mother's quilting reminds me of the expression that went something like "I'll know I am a good quilter when I can thread the needle while the machine is going" (or something like that).
I like the fabric from Kyle's marketplace and also the quilt your mother made from it.
Mom's are a gift everyday of the year.

Your mom has been quilting some wonderful quilts - she must be happy to get them done and also having great fun playing with the machine. Good for her!

Doctors see big loophole in FDA action against e-cigarettes and want it closed - Los Angeles Times
Flavoring for electronic cigarettes is displayed at a vaping shop. Medical groups say the FDA’s action against e-cigarettes should have included a ban on flavorings.
(Dan Henry / Chattanooga Times Free Press)
The Food and Drug Administration’s new plan to regulate electronic cigarettes contains a glaring loophole that some of the nation’s most influential medical associations would like to see closed.
Under new rules announced Thursday, e-cigarette sales to minors will be banned and products sold to adults will require new safety reviews and health warnings.
But the FDA action did not include any limits on flavors, which makes e-cigarettes particularly enticing to children, doctors say. Flavorings are already forbidden in traditional cigarettes, with the exception of menthol.
“FDA passed up critical opportunities in this rule by failing to prohibit the sale of tobacco products coming in flavors like cotton candy, gummy bear and grape,” Dr. Benard P. Dreyer, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said in a statement.
Nancy Brown, chief executive of the American Heart Assn., echoed that sentiment.
“We would have liked to see candy and fruit flavors banned outright for all tobacco products,” she said in a statement.
We would have liked to see candy and fruit flavors banned outright for all tobacco products.
Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Assn.
She noted that 70% of middle and high school students who use tobacco use some kind of flavored product, according to a study by researchers from the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products and the Office on Smoking and Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That study, published in October in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, estimated that 3.26 million middle and high school students used a flavored tobacco product in the past 30 days. Teens who used e-cigarettes and cigars were most likely to choose some kind of flavored tobacco, the researchers said.
A separate study by researchers at the FDA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse and elsewhere found that flavorings play an essential role in persuading teens to try – and stick with – electronic cigarettes. That report, published the same month in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., found that 81% of youth ages 12 to 17 who had tried e-cigarettes opted for a flavored product their first time out. Among those who kept vaping, 85% chose flavorings on an ongoing basis.
“Flavored tobacco products are enticing a new generation of America’s youth into nicotine addiction,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, said in October. “Nicotine is not safe for the developing brain, and we must do everything we can to protect kids from a lifetime of tobacco use and nicotine dependence.”
Despite the loophole concerning flavorings, medical groups praised the FDA for trying to put e-cigarettes out of the reach of minors.
“Youth use e-cigarettes more than any other tobacco product on the market today,” Harold P. Wimmer, president and chief executive of the American Lung Assn., said in a statement. Vaping now serves “as an entry point to more traditional tobacco products” and places “kids at risk to the harms and addiction of nicotine and other tobacco products,” he said.
Brown added that e-cigarette use by teens has tripled in just one year; “effective regulation of tobacco products” can help reverse that trend, she said.
“These new regulations will go a long way in helping to protect Americans from cardiovascular disease, the number one killer in the United States, and move us closer to becoming a tobacco-free nation,” she said.
But there is still much work left to do, Dreyer warned.
The FDA action “is a welcomed starting point,” he said, “but it is only a framework upon which to build meaningful regulation to end the tobacco epidemic in the United States once and for all.”

The Matrix | Maze Runner Fandom
During the San Diego Comic-Con, James Dashner spent some time with Hypable to talk both about the movie adaptation of his book, The Maze Runner, as well as his new book, The Eye of Minds, which is the first book in The Mortality Doctrine trilogy.
Hypable: How did you feel when you found out ‘The Maze Runner’ film was finally going ahead?
James Dashner: It was part ecstatic and part relief. About three years ago, we got really close. We had a director, a screenplay, but it all kind of fell apart – which happens in Hollywood a lot. I was much more level-headed when it started happening again.
I tempered my expectations, but when the ball really got rolling, I knew that was happening when all the producers had a conference call with me. Then Wes Ball, the director, called me, and I was like “Okay, it’s happening.” Since then, I have been on Cloud 9.
How did it feel to see the characters that you wrote standing there in real life?
There’s so much relief with it. I don’t know how I would have reacted if I have disagreed with all the choices, or if they were butchering my book or my vision. I agree and support everything about this film.
I love the casting, I love the script, I love Wes’ vision for it. The tone and the spirit of the movie, it’s almost too good to be true. I am extremely satisfied and happy about it.
A little. From the get go, it was a cool relationship. They wanted me involved, they were very good about reaching out to me. By the same token, I understand that that’s not my expertise. So it worked out perfectly – I was involved, and I felt involved, but I never tried to be heavy-handed or enforce anything.
I was involved, but on a small scale. Wes has been really awesome about staying in touch, asking me questions, asking for my feedback. I think he has taken a lot of that feedback when it worked for him.
Was there any casting that was not how you had pictured the character?
Yeah. It’s all about matching the spirit of it. Frypan was not how I literally envisioned him, but everyone else pretty much was.
When I think of Minho, and Thomas, and Alby – and especially Chuck. Chuck is like he literally stepped out of the pages of the book, it’s almost eerie.
And with Teresa, I was really surprised. I don’t really describe her in too much detail, the hair colour and maybe the eye colour, and then leave it up to the reader’s imagination, but somehow, I saw her and thought “That’s Teresa.”

Two voters in Florida are suing to keep Bernie Sanders from receiving any votes in Florida. Florida conducts a closed primary, meaning you can only vote for a candidate who is running for the nomination if you are registered to that party. Since Bernie is an Independent, they argue only independents can vote for him.
However, primaries are run by the individual states, and they have great leeway on who can run and who can’t. In Florida, the representatives voted unanimously to allow Bernie Sanders on the ballot; therefore, I see this lawsuit going nowhere. Representatives in other states with closed primaries might be able to make the case for knocking him off the ballot. They are not bound by what happens in the Florida case.

2.2 | Enesthi
“You’re free to go, sir.” The officer unlocked the cell across from Mark and the girl’s father exited, a nasty bruise developing on his right cheek. The man nodded towards Mark’s cell and the officer opened the other cell too. Mark stood up warily, uncertain if there would be a repeat of the previous morning.
“Unless you want to stay.” The man said, gesturing the officer away. Mark stepped out of the cell and stretched, looking around uncertainly. The man stuck out his hand, “Sam Mitchell, by the way.”
“Mark Levins.” Mark shook his hand, still searching for the exit. He couldn’t see himself but he could feel the bruising around his eye every time he blinked.
“I’m sorry about the shiner, it’s just I got caught off guard by the news and I have some… anger issues.” Sam was following behind as Mark started down the hall towards what he hoped was outside.
“No, I understand completely. It’s fine, really.” Mark felt a wave of relief as he spotted an exit sign and followed it, only for the man to follow him down the series of winding corridors.
“Well now that we have that cleared up let’s discuss how you’re going to help me get my daughter back from this vagrant.”
“I’ve given the police all the information I have, I can’t really offer anything else. As it is I’m probably suspended if not fired.” Mark tried to speed up casually and winced as the man matched his pace and opened the outer door for him.
“Oh I wouldn’t worry about that, just help me out and everything will work out fine.”
“What the hell is that even supposed to mean?” Mark felt invigorated by the fresh open air and simulated sunshine, and turned on his pursuer.
“I can get you transferred to my ship temporarily, just until we clear up this little snafu. Find my daughter, deal with things, then you go back to your cozy little job no harm done. No suspension, no black mark on your shiny record…”
“Just think about it, talk it over with your captain. I’ll be staying here when you’re ready. I’ve got to get a new ship anyways so take a couple days…” Sam slipped an address card into Mark’s hand. Mark couldn’t help the mental image of someone slipping a dollar bill into a stripper’s g-string, and was relieved to be interrupted by a pascal barreling between them.
“Sam you’re gonna owe me a lot more than a drink now, I got you a ship and it’ll only cost you a drink, a lunch, and a meeting with the rugrat.”
“Vortran…” Sam looked down at the pascal and it was as if all the insidious energy he’d had before left him. Mark started backing away, seeing his chance to escape. Jessie’s father sat down heavily on the fake grass.
“I… I don’t have to meet them if that’s too much… Sam?” The pascal paid Mark no mind as he took off and the last thing he heard was Sam muttering that he needed a drink.
“Sam you gotta help me out here, buddy, I’m not even up to your waist.” Vortran stopped to prop the man up a bit more. Sam groaned and burped. Vortran had never seen him this drunk, and had tried to stop him earlier, but there was no stopping him till he was too far gone to hold a glass.
The sidewalk turned a little and Vortran felt one paw land in newly wetted fake grass, sinking slightly. The shift in balance was too much and Sam started slumping over. “Going down, buddy.” Vortran twisted around to avoid being landed on and managed to keep Sam from hitting his head on the ground as he landed. The man was out cold, and Vortran sat on the sidewalk, trying to work out how to move him like this. Sam hadn’t even said what hotel he was staying at, so there wasn’t anywhere to go anyway.
“Looks like you’re having a rough time from him too.” A voice made Vortran jump and look around. It took a second to spot the man Sam had been talking to from before, standing a few yards away. The man approached and stood looking down at Sam. “I guess I won’t be talking to him tonight regardless.”
“You’re the guy who lost his kid?” Vortran asked, nudging Sam with one foot. The man groaned but didn’t move.
“That’s a bit harsh… but kinda.” The man sat down on the sidewalk, “Is he normally so…?”
“Eccentric? Manic? Unpredictable?” Vortran shrugged, “Not quite this bad, but he has moments. Makes life interesting.”
“I don’t think I want that kind of interesting.”
“It grows on you.” Vortran looked over at the man, who was carrying some papers, “What were you going to talk to him about?”
“I…” Mark looked down at the papers, “I think he was asking me to help him find his daughter, and I might be thinking about saying yes.”
“There’s a lot of maybe in that statement.”
“He sent paperwork to my job, before we were even released, to get me transferred for the duration of what would’ve been a suspension. I’m not sure I even have the option of saying no at this point.”
“Well you want to help find the kid, right?”
“Not just her… a friend I worked with went missing too.”
“So you’re saying yes.”
“He made it feel like he was buying me like a call-girl.” Mark grimaced as Vortran burst into laughter, practically doubling over.
“Sorry, man. Sam is a bit hard to get used to… but if he’s paying for the night, why not help me find his hotel room?” Vortran snorted as Mark huffed, and gestured to the prone figure soaking in dew, “If he gets too handsy we’ll just leave.”
“Oh shut up, it’s not that funny.” Mark helped lift Sam up despite his annoyance, and found the card in his pocket.
“Just be sure you don’t fall in love, that never ends well.” Vortran helped hold Sam up on the other side and the two of them started down the sidewalk.

Polly Scoots: My first show
It was great fun to take part in the Charm City Craft Mafia's "Pile of Craft" last Saturday! The group did a phenomenal job of pre-show publicity, which meant a ton of people came through.
Huge thanks to my husband and dogs for putting up with me and all the last minute prep before the show--although I don't think that one of our dogs, Lady, minded so much that I set my table up in the middle of the living room to practice laying everything out. I kept finding her under the table!
Ryan also scooted up to Baltimore mid-day to give me a much needed break and the opportunity to spend some money with the other vendors. My folks were also kind enough to come down and spend a few hours at the show, help me break things down and lend me the table everything was sitting on.
Anyway, the church where the event was held was really cool architecturally--here's the view from my booth.

Russian Orthodox Church Asserts Role in Civil Society - The New York Times
Europe|Russian Orthodox Church Asserts Role in Civil Society
Russian Orthodox Church Asserts Role in Civil Society
By SOPHIA KISHKOVSKY DEC. 18, 2011
The Church of the Fedorovskaya Icon of the Virgin Mary, at the central Moscow campus of the Russian State Social University, was consecrated in 2006 after debate about religion’s place. Credit James Hill for the International Herald Tribune
MOSCOW — Just over 20 years ago, any religious education outside church walls was still banned in the Soviet Union. Today, churches are being built on state university campuses, theology departments have opened around Russia, and the Russian Orthodox Church has built its own educational network with international contacts and even become something of a model for the secular system.
At the same time, the church is proposing its vision of educational reform.
“Education is not a personal matter but a sphere of public life on which the existence of society and the state depend,” Patriarch Kirill I, the church’s leader, said in September in a speech at Voronezh State University. “It is the backbone of the existence of society, and that’s why the transfer of education exclusively into the sphere of rendering of market services is, in my view, a big mistake.”
Yulia Rehbinder, 30, who received a degree in social pedagogy this year from St. Tikhon’s Orthodox University, which was founded in Moscow in 1992 as a theological institute, said she had chosen the university because she thought it offered a more sophisticated humanities program than state universities. It received state accreditation as a university in 2004.
“In Soviet times, everything connected with Christianity, its history and culture, was purposely removed from humanitarian education,” said Ms. Rehbinder, who is now working with orphans and doing graduate research on Russian émigré teaching methods in France. “As a result, it ended up that specialists couldn’t understand the essence of works of art, of many historical events, or the motives of human actions, since a Christian worldview was alien to them.”
While the church has helped create over 30 theology faculties at secular state universities, Father Hovorun said, the state education authorities still refuse to recognize theology as a stand-alone doctoral-degree subject.
Archpriest Vladimir Vorobiev, rector of St. Tikhon’s, told Pravoslavie i mir, an Orthodox news Web site, that he objected to the state authorities’ refusal to recognize theology as a social science at the doctorate level. He asserts that some people in high levels of Russian academia are still influenced by a Soviet mind-set that cannot accept a social “science about God.”
But while the Orthodox Church has become an increasingly powerful presence in Russia, speaking out on morality, economics, international relations, and most recently the Russian elections, critics say it has failed to adequately fill a post-Soviet ideological and moral vacuum.
The attempt to unite the church’s ideological and practical potential is illustrated vividly at the Russian State Social University. The university has more than 100,000 students on campuses across Russia and a branch in Kyrgyzstan.
Last June, its central Moscow campus, hosted an anti-abortion conference that drew American activists. Student volunteers wore anti-abortion T-shirts and distributed anti-abortion literature. The university, where smoking is banned, encourages student marriages and babies, and students are unusually polite.
The centerpiece of the campus, which used to be an institute of Marxism-Leninism, is the Church of the Fyodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God. It was consecrated in 2006 after much debate on whether it was appropriate to build an Orthodox church in the center of the campus, said Vasily Zhukov, who is rector of the university and said all of its campuses also had prayer rooms for Muslims and other non-Orthodox students.
The construction or restoration of churches on university campuses has become such a trend that there is now an association of university churches in Russia. Yaroslav Skvortsov, chairman of the department of international journalism at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, is co-chairman of the association.
While the study of church history is an elective, Mr. Skvortsov said he regarded it as essential for better relations among Russians and others.
Cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church, Mr. Zhukov said, is a practical decision to create a moral foundation for students. “We are interested in allies,” he said, “not in religious obscurantism, not in the idealization of the church as such, not in the use of force to bring a person to church. We don’t need any of this. But we need the church as a bearer of huge knowledge.”
He added, “We are located on a spot that used to be a theoretical focal point of aggressive atheism.”
In October, Mr. Zhukov was honored for his work in academia and for the church by Metropolitan Hilarion, chairman of the Department of External Church relations, who has a doctorate from the University of Oxford and has been promoting ties between the two sectors.
Still, some Russian Orthodox leaders and commentators report growing alienation among student-age youths from the church and resentment that the religion is being forced on them. What’s more, several years ago, a number of prominent Russian scientists accused the church in an open letter of imposing ignorance and clerical rule on Russian society.
But Archpriest Vladimir Shmaliy, a theologian and vice rector of the Saints Cyril and Methodius Postgraduate and Doctoral School of the Russian Orthodox Church, said a growing dialogue between the church and academia in fields like philosophy and biology had become an example of civil society in Russia.
The church and the Higher School of Economics, Russia’s most Western-style state university, will soon sign an agreement that will include cooperation of their philosophy and history departments, said Sergey Roshchin, vice rector and professor at the school.
“Of course there are many problems in the relations between church and society, church and the state,” he said. “But this is a subject for expert dialogue that includes academia as well.”

A Pastor's Cancer Diary: February 13, 2012 – Link to My Past
Nice post Carl! What a find on the internet!
Pastora Carmen Rosario said...
Beautiful words. As my retirement day after 28 years of parish ministry is approaching (March 31,2012), I really appreciate your words.
Carl: You've pretty well nailed it! In retirement we returned to the "family farm", my office in the room where I slept as a child. But of course the farm has been sold and even the young farmer has sold all the cattle and only grows crops. The town has changed and the "home church" is renewed but struggling as I sit in the back pew with the few "old-timers" that I knew in youth.
My legacy, like yours will be in a bit of family, a few words on paper, and the host of folk who have responded to God's invitation because of what we did. We can only give thanks and hope it is enough.
Phil Gehman said...
A wonderful post, Carl. I find it particularly meaningful since I'm in the midst of transcribing my father's diary as an 18 year old. His father had died 7 years before, but he later went on to become a PCUSA minister without a high school or college education - his only credentials being his ordination by a Bible School and a certificate from an off-brand seminary. With gratefulness for our friendship and for you witness to the faith...

We wanted a neutral but non-boring rug for a sunroom addition. This is not a super high quality rug but for the price we didn't expect that, and with a good quality pad it more than fits our purpose. We also didn't want wool. We have big windows and this lends to the "outdoors inside" feeling of the sunroom. Goes great with a wide variety of colors. As to the quality -- we noticed a seam and pulled & trimmed a cord, and thought about returning it, but it's really not noticeable and wasn't worth the bother. Besides we really like the coloration and get lots of compliments on it, so it stays!

Interbellum: May 2010
Latest draft of my Interbellum rules is now available

Irregular Miniatures have just released 15mm WW1 Montenegrans:
SBWM1 Montenegran infantry (in many assorted positions) 22/5/10 A
SBWM2 Montenegran Machine gun & 2 crew 22/5/10 F
SBWM3 Montenegran officer 22/5/10 A
Montenegran gun & 4 crew 22/5/10
No pics but they should be perfect for 'Bolkans' imagi-wars whether as regular or irregular forces.
There's also more pics of the 15/20mm guns on their Really Useful Gun page.
Labels: Bolkans, Wargames
Further to their recent revelations, THE TRUTH has published more images of prototype self-propelled artillery based on the FT-17 chassis.
The first picture shows one of the previously featured prototypes, but this time the photograph has been taken from the side of the vehicle.
The second prototype is different from those already featured in that the armament is reputed to be a 149mm howitzer. The latter has been fitted with an armoured shield that offers some protection to the crew.
It is worth noting that none of these designs allow the armament to traverse more than a few degrees, and that half the designs have armament that faces towards the rear of the chassis. These designs give the artillery mobility, but not the ability to be used offensively.

Further to its recent article about self-propelled artillery that uses the FT-17 chassis, THE TRUTH (the official newspaper of the Soviet Peoples' United Republic) has printed the following photographs.
The first photograph shows a vehicle where the 75mm gun is mounted in a fixed position low down in the hull front. Whilst this would make it very easy to use the gun where the range is short and the crew needed to be protected by armour, it is difficult to understand how it could be used to provide traditional artillery support.
The second vehicle has obviously been designed to use the tracks and lower hull of the FT-17 to provide a means of moving a 75mm gun over difficult terrain. However, the fact that the gun faces towards the rear of the hull seems to show that it could not be used offensively as it could not engage targets as it advanced.
The third vehicle seems to combine the best aspects of both of the previous prototypes. Its gun faces forward, which means that it can be used offensively, whilst the crew platform at the rear provides some shelter to the crew on a fire-swept battlefield.
THE TRUTH did not provide any further information about these prototypes, and their country or countries of origin are unknown. Only time will tell if these prototypes are the progenitors of a whole new breed of self-propelled artillery.

The latest issue of THE TRUTH, the official newspaper of the Soviet Peoples' United Republic, has published an as yet unsubstantiated report that they have obtained pictures of several self-propelled artillery prototypes based on existing FT-17 tank chassis.
The article does not give any indication where these photographs were obtained nor which country has built these prototypes. One can only hope that they will publish these photographs and further information as soon as possible.

I have continued to add both fiction and non-fiction books to my Interbellum website.
So far all the fiction books I have added are ones that were written during the inter-war period, but I expect to include non-contemporary ones is due course. In the case of the non-fiction books I have selected those which were either written during the inter-war era or which mainly deal with wars, campaigns, and/or weapons from that time period.
The website is still in its early stages of development, and I still have lots of stuff that I can add to it in due course. At some time in the future I also intend to add pages that cover films that were either made during the inter-war era or that cover incidents from the 1920s and 1930s.

By our Correspondent at the League of Nations.
Amidst unprecedented scenes of chaos and mayhem in the chamber today, two national delegations resorted to physical violence and had to be removed from the League Building.
Count Duckula, the Ainamor representative, had just risen to speak in the debate on the Scandanavian Pig Smuggling dispute when the gentleman from the Brobdingnag Union leaped to his feet and interrupted him with loud accusations of Ainamor atrocities against the Union in the just ended Royal Army exercises near the Union border.
Showering delegates with photographs which he claimed to be proof of his claims, Shishkebab Bey appeared to say that the Royal Army had made several incursions into Union territory and committed numerous offences including kidnapping and assault of women and goats from border villages, sniping at Union Gendarmerie border guards and turning the Union flag upside down outside town halls and other official buildings.
This was greeted with howls of laughter from Count Duckula and the singing by his assistants of the Ainamor National Anthem " Cummen havago iffudink yurhardenuff ". Almost at a point of apoplexy, Shishkebab Bey then denounced the Ainamor Royal Aviation Corps for having bombed the rail junction at Cheyssac, destroying several buildings and killing a number of villagers.
Cheyssac in ruins.
At this point, Count Duckula stated that the accusations were totally without foundation, but that if the RAC had truly intended to bomb Cheyssac then rather than merely damaging it, the village would have been totally wiped from the map. Whereupon Count Duckula went down under an assault from several Union delegation members, including Shishkebab Bey wielding a large, traditional but not ceremonial knife. An unseemly brawl between the two missions only ended when police carried the two parties from the building.
The Union delegation left for Boughre without comment. Count Dukula was last heard screaming abuse at the Bey and shouting " This Means War! ".

I have begun to add some more pages to my Interbellum website.
These new pages will deal with fiction and non-fiction books that people interested in the interwar era might find useful. The fiction books will hopefully inspire ideas for new imagi-nations (or the development of existing ones) and the non-fiction books will cover data about various real armies, equipment, and weapons as well as some of the more obscure wars.
The website is still very much in its early stages of development, but I hope to add stuff as and when I can.

Hinterland Miniatures, who I've not heard of before, have released a range of female Hussars, which might be of interest to you Eastern Europe types.
There are pics of other figures toting bolt-action rifles on the site and I must say I'm quite impressed.

Painted a company of 9 Vickers export tanks last week (T26a) - destined for the Slobenian front. The twin-MG turret platoon is shown below:
I'm not that impressed with the finish - the moral of the tale being, don't paint a company of Sci Fi mech armour then get carried away when you are tired and a bit slap happy with the brush.
Mind you, they are 15mm SDD models and a bit light on detail/crisp lines so can't beat myself up too much.
They're fine for the table just now, but I think I'll need to revisit them with a Polish style camo.

Too Fat Lardies - are currently having a sale across all of their products. Well worth a look, but for Interbellum gamers the Summer Specials have a lot to recommend them at only £3.50 (link) each.
There are articles, scenarios and rules supplements covering a wide range of Interbellum subjects - Russian Civil War, German Freikorps, Spanish Civil War and other conflicts.
The 2006 Summer Special is of special interest as it includes several articles about colonial warfare in the Interbellum period.
Grabbing Mussolini's Baubles: IABSM for the Interwar colonial conflicts.
Trouble Brewing Up: a North West Frontier Scenario for the above.
I'll Be Seein' Ya: an East Africa scenario for the above
The same issue also includes:
Guards, TO POLTAVA! A Russian Civil War mini-campaign for Triumph of the Will
Aah, Condor: SCW stats for Bag the Hun
Plus all the usual Lardiness. Even if you don't play the Lardy rules, the articles, scenarios and how to's, all make up a great read in their own right.

Today's issue of THE TRUTH, the Soviet Peoples' United Republic's official government newspaper, reports that the famous aircraft designer General Rippov died some days ago as a result of a freak accident.
General Rippov was cleaning his personal sidearm when it went off accidentally, shooting him three times in the back of the neck. The police officer investigating the incident – Major Alexei Nikasov of the People’s Security Bureau (PSB) – stated that 'It is incredible that such an experienced officer would clean a loaded gun, and that he would think it safe to wave it about in the way he must have done in order to inflict the injuries he suffered.'
Major Nikasov made no comment about a rumour that the gun must have been loaded with very unusual bullets as it is thought that three different calibre rounds were recovered during the autopsy.
