The Benghu Tank War II (30.1) | The Spirits of Eden. Dbagbo Dominance — Chanda General School Aarya returned from the cafeteria carrying a stack of boxed lunches. They were meant for the children in her charge, waiting for her in one of the second floor classrooms of Chanda’s auxiliary school building. She hurried to return to them. Though she did not like leaving them alone, she had told them to be good while she braved the rains and winds to get them all something to fill their stomachs. Whistling a song as she climbed the steps she wondered what mischief they must have caused while she was away. They were well-behaved, but still rambunctious.

When she arrived at her classroom she was surprised to find them all in a corner. They hid away from the windows, their heads down and their arms over their hair. After seeing the soldiers running hither and thither downstairs she feared the worst. She felt her chest tighten and her knees shake. She dropped the boxes on top of her desk and furtively approached the windows.

Aarya was not a soldier. “Yes. GWS #1797. 979; The Line Between Sour and Sweet. Seattle ROLL-A-SKETCHES! And also: WONDERCON April 17th, 2014 Here are a few of the many Roll-a-Sketch drawings I did for folks in Seattle a couple weeks ago!!

Comics. Toys. Cereal. Potentially Offensive License Plate To Be Replaced For Free - Winston-Salem News Story - WXII Winston-Salem. RALEIGH —Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive "WTF" letter combination can replace the tags for free. Internet Acronyms Parents Should Know The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination.

Officials learned last year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and cell phone text messages. The DMV recently realized the same letters appeared on the sample license plate on its own Web site. Officials are trying to remove the plate from the site. DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in. AT&T Boss Asks Employees to Fake It. AT&T has "asked' its employees to fake it in the fight against Net Neutrality. The company’s top policy officer sent a memo to workers on Monday urging them to hide their company affiliation before posting anti-Net Neutrality comments to the Federal Communication Commission’s Web site.

“We encourage you, your family and friends to join the voices telling the FCC not to regulate the Internet,” AT&T Senior Executive Vice President James Cicconi wrote in an internal communiqué forwarded to Free Press (and posted here). “It can be done through a personal e-mail account by going to www.openinternet.gov and clicking on the ‘Join the Discussion’ link.” Coming from one of the company’s most senior executives, it’s hard to imagine AT&T employees thinking the memo was merely a suggestion. If that weren’t bad enough, Cicconi urges them to choose from a list of talking points sanctioned by the PR department -- fearful perhaps of what employees might say if they went off script. Really?

But until recently, ranters without blogs of their own were largely consigned to obscurity.

Not anymore. New services like coComment let internet users track, store and automatically republish comments they post on other people's blogs. While coComment is still a work in progress, bloggers seem intrigued by a concept that kicks the pack-rat narcissism of self-publishing up a notch. On Technorati, the blog search engine that ranks the popularity of posts by the number of hyperlinks they generate, coComment ranked among the top 10 search terms at intervals last week.

"'There are other ways to get a sense of blogs' popularity and topical authority in addition to linking behavior," he said. In addition to creating a new way of tracking the popularity of websites based on the comments they generate, coComment's founders say they're looking to inject order into one of the more chaotic elements of the blog world.

72 Links for GMs, and the GMing Q&A Forum is Here to Stay! - Treasure Tables. When I launched the Treasure Tables GMing Q&A Forum back in December, I mentioned that it was going to be up for a one-month trial period. As of today, that trial period is officially over — and the forum is here to stay! In just one month, the GMing Q&A Forum has become a solid resource for GMs, as well as a friendly, informal place to share GMing advice. To illustrate that, I’ve compiled 72 links to nifty GMing resources from all of the forum threads to date. I’ve never run a forum before, but I’m thrilled with the level of response that this one has generated. 100+ members, 50+ threads and around 1,000 posts (so far!) – we’ve built up a great community in a very short time. My goal with Treasure Tables has always been to turn this site into the #1 place to go for GMing resources, and I feel like the forum is a big step in that direction.

Here are three reasons why I like it so much: Resource Links from the GMing Q&A Forum Adventure Ideas • The 36 plots Character Sheets Generators • AARG! Maps.
