Client Resources The Commission on Act 250: Recommendations for Change
Christopher D. Roy • January 17, 2019
"There is nothing permanent but change." – Heraclitus
On January 11, 2019, the Commission on Act 250 issued its final report making its recommendations, along with draft legislation proposing those changes.
In 2017, the Vermont General Assembly created the Commission on Act 250: The Next 50 Years (the "Commission"). The purpose of the Commission was to review the goals of Act 250, to assess the effectiveness of Act 250 and its various criteria in achieving those goals since the law was enacted in 1970, to engage Vermonters with respect to these matters, and to make recommendations for potential changes to Act 250. On January 11, 2019, the Commission issued its final report making its recommendations (the "Report"), along with draft legislation proposing those changes.
Historically, the General Assembly has been reluctant to make wholesale changes to Act 250 and its criteria, preferring an occasional and incremental approach. The Commission's work is a marked departure from this prior practice. The Report identifies 33 separate recommended changes to Act 250. These recommended changes range from insignificant to profound. The Report itself, which is 79 pages long and further includes 19 appendices, can be found here.
This brief update will not discuss each and every recommendation by the Commission. Instead, it will identify five of the more significant recommendations and their practical implications, which will drive what is anticipated to be an extensive inquiry over the course of the coming legislative biennium. Needless to say, there are several other recommendations which could potentially have significant impacts beyond the five matters discussed below.
Exempting Development Within Enhanced Designation Areas
The Commission recognized the importance of "an overall balancing of interests to support economic development in compact centers while promoting a rural countryside and protecting important natural resources." Report at 34. To that end, the Commission has proposed to exempt commercial and industrial development within "enhanced designation areas." These enhanced designation areas would include downtown development districts, village centers, new town centers and growth centers. A municipality would then have the option of seeking an enhanced designation by demonstrating local zoning and other regulations sufficiently address Act 250 criteria such that a separate Act 250 review is unnecessary.
As local communities have enacted comprehensive zoning bylaws and established sophisticated planning offices, parallel reviews under zoning and Act 250 have become duplicative efforts lacking in real substantive benefit. Given the policy goal of incentivizing "smart growth" in suitable areas of existing, planned development with existing infrastructure, the exemption of these project from the Act 250 process should encourage the very type of development "smart growth" advocates have desired.
Recognizing Climate Change Within The Criteria
The Commission identified a number of existing Act 250 criteria that relate in some way to the overarching concerns respecting climate change, but which do not currently address the matter directly. The Commission recommends changes including the breaking of Criterion 1 into two criteria: Criterion 1 relating to air pollution and Criterion 2 regarding water pollution. Criteria 3 and 4 regarding water supplies would then be consolidated. A new Criterion 1(B) would expressly address greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions by requiring mitigation when a project would increase those emissions. Criterion 2(F) regarding floodways would be expanded to address flood hazard areas and river corridors. Criterion 9(F) regarding energy conservation would be expanded to expressly encompass energy efficiency.
The aspect of these changes with the greatest potential impact relates to the mitigation required for any increase of GHG emissions due to project operation's or related vehicular traffic. The proposed legislation contemplates a hierarchy of approaches: First, the project should attempt to avoid GHG emissions. If it is not "feasible" to avoid such emissions, then they should be "minimized." If it is not "feasible" to avoid or minimize them, then the draft legislation contemplates the promulgation of an administrative rule setting forth required mitigation efforts. The meaning of "feasible" and "minimize" will need to be explored, and the terms of any rules regarding mitigation will be extraordinarily important.
Addressing Forest and Habitat Fragmentation
In 2017, the House passed a bill adding Criteria 8(B) and 8(C) relating to forest blocks and connecting habitat, respectively. This bill was passed in response to the reduction of forestland in Vermont generally, and the increased subdivision of land. In the Report, the Commission noted that forest fragmentation "isolates forest patches and prevents the movement of plants and animals." Report at 25. In turn, poor forest health "hurts Vermont's economic interests, including particularly its forest products and tourism industries." Report at 26.
In response, the Commission has recommended the passage of the new Criteria 8(B) and 8(C) enacted by the House in 2017. These criteria would require avoidance or mitigation of forest block and connecting habitat fragmentation. As is frequently the case, the definition of terms would prove crucially important. The terms "connecting habitat," "forest block," "fragmentation," and "habitat" are each the subject of new definitions in the Commission's proposed legislation. Of particular note, one option for defining "forest block" would tie them directly to mapping performed by ANR. Furthermore, as would be the case under the new Criterion 1(B) relating to GHG emissions, the Commission's proposed legislation contemplates the promulgation of rules regarding mitigation of fragmentation, including monetary payments. These new criteria regarding forest block and habitat fragmentation would have far-reaching implications as they open up an entirely new area of inquiry as part of the Act 250 process.
Jurisdictional Changes Regarding Farming, Logging and Interstate Interchanges
As part of its charge, the Commission was also asked to review various jurisdictional thresholds to determine whether any revisions are warranted. As a result of its review, the Commission concluded that a variety of jurisdictional tests should be modified.
The elevation threshold for development being generally subject to Act 250 review is proposed to be reduced from 2,500 feet to 2,000 feet.
The farming and logging exemption would extend up to the lower 2,000-foot elevation, and not to the current 2,500-foot threshold.
Development outside existing settlements within 3,000 feet of interstate interchange areas would be subject to Act 250.
Each of these proposed jurisdictional changes would expand the footprint of Act 250 regulation across Vermont.
Transforming The Appeal Process: Past Is Prologue
Finally, the Commission evaluated the current Act 250 appeal process. Presently, all environmental and land use permit appeals proceed through the Environmental Division of the Vermont Superior Court. This consolidation of permit appeals was enacted by the General Assembly in the mid-2000s in the interest of streamlining and harmonizing separate appeal processes that existed previously. This reform also allowed the newly-constituted Natural Resources Board (the "NRB") to interface more directly with District Environmental Commissions since it was no longer the objective quasi-judicial body charged with hearing appeals.
Prior to these reforms, Act 250 appeals proceeded to a lay Environmental Board from the District Environmental Commissions, with ANR and zoning appeals being handled by the then-Environmental Court. Thus, large projects requiring zoning, Act 250 and ANR permits formerly faced appeals on dual tracks to the Environmental Board and the Environmental Court, creating the prospect of inconsistent determinations before the two appellate bodies.
In the Report, the Commission has recommended a return to dual-track appeals. The proposed legislation would change the NRB to the Environmental Review Board. This new Board would retain the NRB's current administrative and rulemaking powers, but would also adjudicate appeals regarding all Act 250 and ANR permits. Zoning appeals and enforcement actions would remain with the Environmental Division. The proposed return to dual-track appeals will assuredly be a matter of some significant debate.
In addition, the Commission has recommended that the party appealing a permit determination would always have the burden of persuasion on appeal. Currently, the applicant has the burden of persuasion on appeal as it would have before the District Commission without regard for whether it prevailed on the issue in the first instance.
The Commission was asked to engage in a comprehensive review of all aspects of Act 250's processes, criteria and policies. In accordance with its charge, the Commission has done so. The proposed changes go beyond those highlighted above. This will lead to a vigorous debate before the General Assembly this coming biennium, a debate which should be of great interest to all Vermonters given the extraordinary breadth and significance of the potential changes.

Comparative genome analysis of Wolbachia strain wAu
Authors: Sutton, Elizabeth and Harris, Simon and Parkhill, Julian and Sinkins, Steven
BACKGROUND:Wolbachia intracellular bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts, including inducing sterility between populations known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Certain strains have been identified that are unable to induce or rescue CI, including wAu from Drosophila. Genome sequencing and comparison with CI-inducing related strain wMel was undertaken in order to better understand the molecular basis of the phenotype.RESULTS:Although the genomes were broadly similar, several rearrangements were identified, particularly in the prophage regions. Many orthologous genes contained single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between the two strains, but a subset containing major differences that would likely cause inactivation in wAu were identified, including the absence of the wMel ortholog of a gene recently identified as a CI candidate in a proteomic study. The comparative analyses also focused on a family of transcriptional regulator genes implicated in CI in previous work, and revealed numerous differences between the strains, including those that would have major effects on predicted function.CONCLUSIONS:The study provides support for existing candidates and novel genes that may be involved in CI, and provides a basis for further functional studies to examine the molecular basis of the phenotype.

Until the Married Women's' Property Act of 1882, the property of a single woman passed automatically into her husband's hands when she got married. To protect their property and, perhaps, to secure some independence, women often transferred their property to Trustees, who would then legally own it, but use it to the benefit of the wife (and her children) rather than her husband. These legal documents are normally refered to as "Marriage Settlements."
Denny Lowe of Canada adds this note for researchers: Colin R Chapman, in "Marriage Laws, Rites, Records & Customs" states (on page 65) 'Marriage settlements in England, Wales and Scotland were personal documents and so, only by chance, are likely to have found their way into county or similar record offices.'.
"Marriage Settlements are still being created today, usually by wealthy families to ensure that specific assets, such as land and buildings are retained within the ownership of family. Other assets, such as furniture, ornaments, jewellery, crops and debts could also be covered. Such agreements would be drawn up by family solicitors, or for the mega-rich financial advisors and their lawyers. Settlements would also be created as and when a couple had additions to the family. Settlements were once considered to be a very tax efficient method of transferring a families wealth. A pre-nuptial agreement could be said to be a marriage settlement. It is now recommended that all today's couples sign such an agreement when they marry. It helps sort out the mess and anquish after the purple haze has disappeared!
Mary FISH expects a Bond from Charles CAULTON to leave her half his fortune in case she survives him and remains his widow... to his children if he leaves any but in case... if the said Charles CAULTON should survive her viz Mary FISH and have children by a second, third or fourth wife that still the children that she has shall be esteemed his eldest ......or portions to be more than ye younger children bourn of his other wives.... Or those other wives bring a better fortune than Mrs Mary FISH.
Here is an example of an 18th century marriage settlement.
From 1668 until 1857, divorce could only be granted by an Act of Parliament. Records of Divorce Bills are in the House of Lords Record Office, indexed in Part XIII of "The Index to Local and Personal Acts".
Records of later divorces are kept at the Divorce Registry of the Family Division of the High Court. Postal applications (circa 1991) could be made at: Divorce Registry, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LP.
Petitions for Divorce (100 years old, or older) can be found at the Public Record Office, among the Supreme Court of Judicature in class J -77. See PRO information booklet No. 127.
The role of a Coroner was to be informed of all sudden deaths and cases where the deceased had not been seen by a doctor within two weeks of death. A Coroner's Inquest is the investigation into a death. The law requires such an inquest under various circumstances and the circumstances have changed over time. The Coroner's Report is the result or findings of the investigation. There was a post-mortem exam (not necessarily an autopsy as we think of it) and if it was clearly natural causes (e.g heart attack with history of heart condition) he would issue a death certificate, but in all other cases he would hold an inquest (with or without a jury). In many cases the police would be involved at the outset, but the Coroner could order a police investigation himself. The inquest would record one of the following verdicts: natural causes: accidental death: misadventure: death caused by person or persons unknown. Often the names of witnesses and some family members are included. If you are lucky, the relationships will also be spelled out in the report. You will often hear the term "Inquest" used to mean the actual report, rather than the process. Accidents were a very common occurrence in the days of our ancestors. There should be a record of the inquest at the Archives, but many were not saved as it was not required under the law until 1752. Some Coroners' findings were luridly reported in the local newspapers.
Until 1926 all inquests were held before a jury. The main surviving record is usually the individual inquest or inquisition, giving the verdict, name, date, time, cause and place of death with the signatures of the jurors. In most cases the supporting evidence doesn't survive. From 1752 to 1860, coroners were required to file their inquests at the Quarter Sessions, and so they are generally preserved among the records of Quarter Sessions, mainly at local record offices. There is a 75-year privacy rule limiting access to direct relatives and certain public officials.
The Lincolnshire Family History Society (LFHS) has indexes to Coroner's Reports published on microfiche for the years 1753 to 1836 from various sources. To purchase these indexes, go to our Societies Pop-up page, and click on the Family History Bookstore icon.
Anne Cole reports the following (paraphrased): The LFHS is working on transcribing summaries of actual reports. Brief details of inquests for an area roughly covering the Caistor Registration District as it was up to 1891 for the years 1837 to 1866 are transcribed, but not yet completely checked. The same for Lindsey (from the Quarter Sessions) from 1836 to 1846, which are also transcribed and mostly checked. Please note that from 1839 these only say who, when and where. The newspapers are being searched for additional information. Details from Inquest Reports for the Spalding area that include witnesses' papers etc. (found behind a blocked up fireplace in a Solicitor's office) for the years 1809 to the 1870s are currently being transcribed but none are yet checked. All these will eventually have relevant newspaper reports added to them; all will eventually be published; some will appear on the Pay Per View site before they are published in microfiche format.
There are also Inquest Reports similar to those for the Spalding area mentioned above for the Stamford/Rutland area (these were found in a skip! [trash bin for Americans]). They don't go as far as the 1930s. These are at Lincolnshire Archives, but so far nothing has been done with them. I believe they are available to researchers at Lincoln, but may be wrong.
Many of the inquests took place in Inns and public houses and the names of these have also been indexed on the fiche. The publican or innkeeper's name will often be found in the relevant inquest.
Other than these the newspapers are your only source. The Stamford Mercury is on microfilm and should therefore be available through a Mormon Library. The Lincolnshire Chronicle is also on microfiche. There were other local papers around by 1937. These will not be available at Lincoln, but Stamford Library may have them.
The Death Certificate will normally state if a Coroner's Inquest was held. Get this first. Don't assume there is a report just because the circumstances seem odd. See our Civil Registration page for information on content, cost, how and where to order a certificate.
The FFHS bookshop has a book about Coroners' Records. In the information about the book it states that there are restriction on access for records less than 75 years old, but it also states that some records have been destroyed after 15 years.
See our Newspapers page to see which newspapers might be available in the area you are searching. There are also obituary services listed on that page.
Inquests from the Stamford Mercury 1789-1812, selected and 1813-1819 complete are included on the LFHS microfiche "Lincolnshire Inquests Vol. 1" available on www.genfair.com.

We had a girl's name picked but boys names have proved trickier for us.
My husband has Greek heritage so we really want to have a name of Greek origin. Our favourite Greek boy's name, Theo, we won't use as it's our nephew's name so hope you can all help with the following choices.
Voted for Leo but prefer Leon.
Also like Louka but again prefer Loukas.
I'm not keen on the Louka spelling and I find Toby too childish for a grown man.
Thank you for your comment. Louka is a very Greek spelling and I'm unsure about it as quite want for my son to have a name people can spell as both my names I constantly have to spell for people! Had wondered the same about Toby, but really do love the name... It's so tricky!
What about Tobiah nn Toby instead?
I like Louka. I'm part Greek and my nephew is Loukas Theo. The s on the end confuses people (especially those who aren't Greek).
Baby girl names - inspiration please!
I think we have a name.

"Bacha bazi": The Boys Sex Trafficked in Afghanistan
Child SlaveryHuman TraffickingLaw & Policy
A year after Afghanistan strengthened its human trafficking laws to prohibit the use of boys for sexual entertainment, experts say the crime is still on the rise.
"Bacha bazi" — in which young boys are abducted by commanders who force them to dance and sexually abuse them — was only outlawed in January 2017 when the country updated its anti-trafficking law.
It is generally a very taboo topic in Afghanistan, but officials finally acknowledged the problem once militants started using these boys as weapons, forcing them to become suicide bombers.
Thomson Reuters Foundation reports:
"Young boys are kidnapped by militant groups," said Meena Poudel from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). "Once they use them sexually, they use them for suicide bombers."
She added that the government has recognised that its security forces have also practiced bacha bazi.
While the anti-trafficking law has been strengthened, resources to enforce it have not been forthcoming, said Wali Mohammad Kandiwal, whose study of the anti-trafficking law was published by the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit, a Kabul-based think tank.
There is no court dedicated to hearing human trafficking cases, and little public education about trafficking and where people should go to report it, said Kandiwal.
There is no official estimate of the number of trafficking cases in Afghanistan, but IOM is working with the government to create its first database. Aside from "bacha bazi," there are many cases of forced labor, forced marriage, and domestic slavery in the country.
Poudel added that an active "medical mafia" which operates in the region is now harvesting organs from trafficking victims to sell. She says that traffickers are targeting Afghans who have been deported or who have decided to return from Iran and Pakistan, as well as those displaced by conflict inside the country.

Is there any place on this planet that humans do not behave in a disgusting, sadistic manner?! No child, male or female, no adult male or female should ever have to be subjected to such cruel and immoral behavior by others. Sex abuse must stop and governments must stand up to it and stop it.
Richard S Jackson Jr.
What grabs me is that these militants perpetrating such acts claim to be following the tenets of Islam in its purist form. BS! They are, themselves, the spawn of Hell! If they think they are a witness to their faith, no one in their right mind would convert.

This Bacha Bazi trafficking is bronze age barbarism. The practitioners remain not human at all and are psychopathic. If the government does not do something about this, that means that the government remains barbaric also. I plead that the practices be outlined and that the perpetrator be punished.

I first encountered a Japanese Salux Wash Cloth during a random purchase years and years ago. Maybe my mom bought it for me, maybe I grabbed it on accident. It quickly molded in the corner of the shower.
Recently, I read an article about how it helped achieve the writer silly smooth skin. I immediately ordered it from Amazon.
The cloth was just like the one from years past. This time, I knew that it wasn't just a weird shower accessory, but an exfoliator from the gods. Now, I hang it religiously from my shower rod every time I use it to keep it fresh and always ready to use.
The Salux wash cloth is made from a rough–but not too harsh–material. Loaded with soap, it produces that covetable thick foam. The swath of fabric is large, about 3 by 1.5 feet, so it's perfect for shimmying up and down your back, under your thighs, and everywhere in-between.
Aside from the occasional dry brushing, the Salux is my favorite way to exfoliate. Body scrubs can feel luxorious, but they are best left to special occasions. I find they often end up with a pool of water in the jar or dropped all over the tub floor. The Salux stands by as a trusty friend who is guaranteed to scrub you clean.
The best part? It's affordable. For three, it comes in under $12 on Amazon (my preferred method of shopping). Pick it up in pink, yellow or blue (I use Pink). If you don't believe me, believe Amazon. With over 877 reviews and a 4.7 rating (as of this writing) you know it's got to be good.
Want to be smooth beyond belief? Try tearing out all of your leg hair with an epilator (seriously, I recommend it).


This Uptown neighborhood watering hole is known among locals as a favorite spot to watch the Saints games, play pool and enjoy cheap beers. Henry's Bar is over 110 years old and prides itself on its slogan, "serving beer since before you were born." There are picnic tables out front for day drinking or beers on a warm night, and Henry's serves a small menu, including burgers and fries, from a side window along the bar. If you are looking for an authentic New Orleans bar experience, Henry's is the place to visit!

Ready for it? The immigration white paper and the end of freedom of movement
by Smita Jamdar
Wonkhe Smita Jamdar Judge

Partner, Shakespeare Martineau
Smita leads the education team at Shakespeare Martineau, where she is partner and has worked for 20 years.
In terms of its impact on universities, the immigration White Paper comes as no great surprise. It's heavily based as it is on the Migration Advisory Committee's recommendations which were received with widespread disappointment a few months ago. It is nevertheless worth reflecting on what the changes may mean.
The White Paper heralds the end of freedom of movement. It is instructive to remind oneself of the UK's unique position among EU countries in seeing freedom of movement as a form of immigration that needs to be controlled. Most other countries see it as a reciprocal and beneficial right that enables national economies to access unhindered a massive pool of talent across an entire continent. It is ironic that a White Paper supposedly setting out a skills-based immigration system fit for the future begins with the Prime Minister announcing the end of a system that has allowed UK universities to seamlessly recruit over 15% of their highly skilled staff.
Instead, there will be a single route. It is impossible to predict the impact of this on the attractiveness of the UK sector for EU27 nationals given that they will retain the option of living and working without hurdles across the rest of the EU. On the one hand, the UK's sector is undoubtedly world leading and so may be considered to be well placed to remain attractive despite additional bureaucracy.
On the other hand, part of that world-leading reputation stems from the number of EU and other overseas staff that work in universities. Take, for example, Horizion 2020 projects. The UK has topped the league of participants for a number of years. But many researchers working on those projects are EU nationals. Greater administrative barriers and other restrictions could make the UK less attractive to both EU and other overseas nationals too. This is especially the case when other countries in the EU and beyond may seize the opportunity to actively woo global academic talent.
An active deterrent
These concerns are in addition to the obvious ones about the proposed minimum salary threshold of £30,000, the restrictive rules around family settlement, and the oppressive nature of in-country immigration checks, all of which may deter applicants.
For these reasons it is to be hoped that during the consultation the government may be persuaded to make special arrangements for universities. This could be via an extension to and liberalisation of the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent route for staff employed in "institutions with degree awarding powers" (the categorisation used for more liberal working rights for students), for example. If the government is serious about a skills-based immigration system, it should have no problem recognising the need for a tailored system for highly skill-dependent sectors such as universities
Government may try to dismiss this as special pleading. However, when nations are blessed with particular strengths and resources, as the UK is with its universities, governments should be keen to protect, invest in and nurture them. The White Paper proposals fall very short of that.
More barriers?
When it comes to international students, some minor positive changes are proposed, including liberalisation of post-study work rights and more scope for switching between immigration routes. While the White Paper affirms no cap on institutional student numbers, far from reducing the compliance burden on universities and the deterrent effect on international student growth, it rather extends the categories of international students to be affected by the controls, namely to include EEA nationals.
This means a very large market, particularly for postgraduate courses, will now be subject to visa controls. When combined with likely increased tuition fees and loss of access to student support, the impact on this part of the sector could be grave indeed. The proposals go nowhere near what is necessary to address the UK's declining competitiveness in the international student recruitment market which was explored in the Higher Education Commission's inquiry into the subject.
It is worth also reflecting on the likely significant expansion of immigration compliance teams these new proposals will necessitate. The sector is only too aware of the high cost of doing business under the current regime, and despite the White Paper's vague promises to streamline processes, there is nothing to suggest that massively expanding the number of nationalities caught by the immigration system will do anything other than increase those compliance costs.
It is to be hoped that the sector and its advocates will respond strongly to the consultation to make the case that now more than ever the UK's universities need to be open to the world. There are few areas where the UK can claim to be world leading but its higher education sector is definitely, for now at least, one. If these proposals come pass that may be a much harder position to sustain.

The University of Nottingham's evolving civic role


The space on this planet is split between the London and NYC. The Writer starts in what appears to be an intimate setting with Josh Cohen in a therapy session. When the Writer changes location to NYC, the world opens up, both physically, and emotionally. The time in the play is linear, occasionally pulling people into the Writer's conversations. The hidden spaces comes across in the idea of how people are using other people's data, possibly for better or worse.
The social world of the play is very much public. While the play deals with the very real issues that can erode privacy, I feel that overall, the Writer has very little that is truly private. The figures aren't expressed physically. The just appear in the play when they're needed, and exit when they're done. Some characters, like the Hairdresser, aren't specifically described. They could be male, female, or of any race. While characters who are actual people, are named, even if they're not described physically. It's either assumed that it doesn't matter, or that you know what they look like.
Power in this world, seems to belong to those who hold the user's data. They can see the bigger picture, and some could argue that they know you better than you know yourself.
The Writer learns that while opening up can be a good thing, it is ok to do it on their terms. That if they're never going to be that person that puts themselves out there all of the time. That it's ok to be an introvert in an extroverted world. Yet, they still have to interact with the world at large, and that the fear against doing so, can only be overcome by talking to others.
Privacy is about self acceptance.

To Those in the Know and Kat, From Thomas [02 Apr 2007|09:04pm]
I'm in Bath. I chatted up a certain Brother Graheme who not only fainted at seeing me, but then he fainted again. And he called Peter a pansy? Talk about pathetic. Anyway I told him I'd come from beyond the grave to torment him because he was an arse and I wanted to know how to contact this Alvarez character. He seemed quite happy to talk as one would be when a very tall man is holding them off of the ground by their ears.
I have the bastard's mobile number and the suite in London where he was staying. Now I just hope he's still there.
I told Graheme if he told anyone he'd seen me that I'd haunt his arse, but I think it's be funny if he did tell them. They'd probably lock him up and I think he could use that. Or the world could. Either way, I let him know that when he says Peter killed me, Thomas gets very angry and will wreak all kinds of ghostly revenge. He apologised and started saying all this stuff about praise god for he has sinned and I kind of wanted to leave after that.
Anyway...progess so..thought you should hear.

Back in the 90s, when Lisa and I moved to the Bay Area so I could work at Chaosium, I got some fun postcards from a non-gamer friend in the Pacific Northwest who had gotten involved in a roleplaying experience he knew I would want to hear about. Every week for about a year, the players were creating poetry and art from the perspective of their characters. They did more worldbuilding than playing, when they played it sounded like a mix of roleplaying and live-action roleplaying. The game was full of secrets and spies and conspiracies. I asked for more info.
They were on an island. There were some really screwed up people running the island. Martial arts. Aliens, probably. Definitely magic.
Wait, wait, I said: are you playing Over the Edge? My friend wasn't sure.
Is the island called Al Amarja? Yes!
I loved that this Over the Edge GM had made the game's publishing history invisible to the players. They were having an experience, on an island named Al Amarja, and it was so over-the-edge that the game book stayed hidden.
I told my friend that I knew the guy who'd written the game, and that I'd introduce them someday. Years later, I did.
Vault forward another few years and Jonathan has revised Over the Edge. We playtested for a few months in my gaming garage, playing multiple mini-campaigns as Jonathan streamlined the system and shaped new storytelling tricks for the off the edge/grid campaigns of the 2020s.
The Kickstarter runs for the next three weeks. Visit soon.


I haven't taken many photos.

For your consideration is this ULTRA RARE Authenticated Museum Quality TY Beanie Baby - Princess Diana Purple Bear. This bear was introduced in 1997 and was retired in 1999. This sale comes with an additional 75 beanie babies! This bear was authenticated by Peggy Gallagher herself! This bear offers PVC pellets, NOT PE. It has a darker green stem, a line space in the Memorial Fund wording on the heart tag and is in a sealed plastic container. This bear is in MINT condition. This bear has a 5th generation heart tag and a 6th generation tush tag. Some things to look for and questions to ask to ensure your getting what you want.
Make sure the bear has PVC pellets and not PE. You will see several listings stating PVC when it in fact is not. I have run into that ALOT.
Make sure when a listing states 1st generation tags it really is as those are quite valuable. Most of the time it is not. I would recommend you do your research to find out the differences in tag look, size etc.
Ask questions and make sure the pictures back up the answer before purchasing. Errors - If a listing states errors, ask what the errors are. Some errors are not actual errors.
Again do your research on what are true errors. If a listing states "ghost version" make sure all the boxes are checked as they the rarest beanie to find. A ghost version needs to have the following from my research: PVC pellets, handmade in Indonesia on heart tag, space in the memorial fund portion of the heart tag with very limited production in October of 1997 only, authenticated for proof. I hope this helps clarify and provide some insight into this bear and what to look for.
Feel free to reach out with any questions as all sales are final. As mentioned above, this sale also comes with an additional 75 beanie babies - mixed lot. Thanks so much for taking a look! Authenticated TY Beanie Baby Princess Diana Bear PVC & SPACE LQQK" is in sale since Wednesday, December 6, 2017.

Feature Film review
Where Were You
Written by: Rob Levinson | Directed by: Rob Levinson | Genre: Drama
Starting off with what looks like a normal day, a pilot heads off to work... and things will never be the same. We're introduced to an ass of a man, Paul Lavigan (John Campeau) who hosts a local radio show and thinks he's on the verge of some real success. So often it's the arseholes who get the notoriety. Paul exclaims that it's Sept 11th, 2001 and the day is about to begin.
A woman calls into the talk show, wanting to wish her husband a happy birthday; something that Paul usually doesn't allow, but she's managed to get through on this slower than normal day. The woman, Lorelai (Amy Thomason) is on her way to work and in the elevator while she is calling when the unthinkable happens. The first plane hits the tower and like so many others, Lorelai is trapped inside.
Things quickly escalate and Paul decides to keep Lorelai on the line, despite objections from his producer. He wants the attack covered, but what better coverage is there than being on the line with someone inside. Quickly, Paul's selfishness shifts to one of genuine concern for Lorelai, and he gets the number for her husband so the two can talk. We all know how this story ends. We'll forever know. 9-11 changed the world and most of us believe, not for the better. Where Were You is a 35 minute film that captures the more personal moments of a dreadful time... and does it well.
Rob Levinson has kept the story and settings simple and to the point. An excellent way to handle a micro budget film, but also a way to keep such a talked about topic personal and relevant. Aside from a shot here and there, this film takes place in mainly 2 locations and is all the better for it. We all know what happened and how things changed, but it's the smaller, tragic stories that still pull at the heartstrings. Where Were You is one such possible story, and it works well on the small screen.
Even presenting Paul as a very abrasive man worked well, mostly. Showing that even the assholes of the world are capable of being better. Lorelai's character was also nicely created to represent the average American caught up in a helpless situation. The producer of Paul's show was a questionable character. I can't imagine any producer wanting to let go of a woman who was actually on the scene - it just seemed a little ridiculous. But then again, I'm not in the radio business.
Without a doubt, Where Were You has some slight pacing issues, but overall was an excellent short film covering a not so excellent topic. This is a short film that should be watched, especially now after so much time has passed. A short film that reminds us that 9-11 is not just a tragic date in history, but a day that personally changed so many lives. It's the personal losses that should be remembered, and this film reminds us of all of that. You know the story. You know the date. Where Were You reminds you of the people. Four stars and thank you for reading.

918 Spyder supercar to be Porsche's most expensive model ever
21 Mar, 2011 Updated Mon 21 Mar 2011 16:18 CEST
Porsche announced Monday the sale of its most expensive model ever, the 918 Spyder hybrid "super sports car." The luxury German carmaker will make just 918 units costing a cool €645,000 – before tax, that is.
The company has begun accepting orders for the fancy model, with plans to begin delivery in November 2013, Porsche said in a statement. The car will cost an estimated €770,000 ($1,091,690) in Germany including the country's value-added tax. For the same amount, a driver could purchase 46 Volkswagen Golfs.
First unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010, the car consumes just three litres of fuel per 100 kilometres - the equivalent of 94 miles per imperial gallon.
"Despite that, the super sports car offers performance of the highest order," and has received an "outstanding customer response," the company said.
Click here for photos of the prototype.
The 918 Spyder's high-performance V8 engine – plus two electric engines on the front and rear axle - accelerates to 100 kilometres per hour in just 3.2 seconds, and reaches speeds as fast as 320 kph, according to the statement.
Critically, the 918 Spyder emits an average of just 70 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilometre, the firm claims. According to Britain's Department for Transport, the third-generation Toyota Prius – the best-known hybrid car – emits 89 g/km.
It's Porsche's offering to the growing market for hybrid cars that combine an internal combustion engine with electric propulsion, dramatically slashing the amount of greenhouse gasses the car emits.
The futuristic two-seater's design will remain true to the 2010 concept car, but the production version will also have a manual roof system with removable panels that drivers can store in the luggage compartment.
The vehicle is powered by a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that charges in about three hours within Germany, and varies in other countries depending on electricity networks. It also has a "quick charging" option, the statement said.

J.J. Abrams is no stranger to success — the fifty-four-year-old director has made a name for himself in Hollywood after hit television successes such as 'Lost', starring Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, and 'Alias', starring Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper. On the big screen, the son of successful television producers Gerald and Carol Anne Abrams, began his career as a solo writer penning the dramatic 1991 Harrison Ford film, 'Regarding Henry'. Since then, Abrams has gone on to have hit after hit with his production company, Bad Robot Productions, which recently signed a five-year deal with WarnerMedia for about 250 million dollars.

Abrams has injected life into many franchises that were dead in the water prior to his arrival. From modern hits like the 'Mission: Impossible' series to historic franchises like 'Star Trek', Abrams has the Midas Touch implementing his unique visual style and compelling storytelling. While J.J. Abrams and his films have been subject to criticism, he remains one of my favorite directors working and a creative mind that is not appreciated enough in the modern Cinematic landscape. Through this text, we will rank, in ascending order from my personal least favorite to favorite, the six feature films Abrams has directed.
Abrams' most recent film 2019's 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker', unfortunately, takes up the rear in this ranking. Marketed as the end to the 'Skywalker Saga' and the conclusion of the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy, this film had a troubled pre-production following the mixed fan reaction to the previous film, Rain Johnson's 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'. Abrams, who had directed the first installment of the sequel trilogy, was not originally attached to direct the film — those honors resided with 'Jurassic World' filmmaker, Colin Trevorrow. Citing creative differences, Trevorrow exited the project and Abrams took over the reins while the film was still in pre-production.
This unfortunately is very soundly planted as my least favorite of Abrams' films. When Abrams took up directing the film, he and screenwriter Chris Terrio, of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', did a full rewrite of the script. It is sad to see that the script and story suffer due to the time crunch the two writers were put into with that 2019 release date looming. There also seemed to be a significant effort to complete Abrams's vision for where the trilogy would go. Johnson's sequel was a rather distinctive departure from Abrams' first film.
I can only assume that studio executives looked at the performance of Abrams and Johnson's film and wanted to get back on track with what J.J. had envisioned. While J.J., the best he can, tries to deliver the ending to the sequel trilogy that he imagined, it feels out of place when considering the events of Johnson's preceding film. Whether it was intended to or not, 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' feels like a course correction rather than the fanfare finale the end of the 'Skywalker Saga' should have been.
Slotting in at number five is Abrams' 2006 feature-length directorial debut, 'Mission: Impossible III'. The 'Mission: Impossible' franchise was not the juggernaut it is today in 2006. Coming off a shaky reception of John Woo's 'Mission: Impossible 2', the Tom Cruise-led series needed to regain its footing with the critics. After being juggled between filmmakers such as David Fincher, of 'Zodiac' fame, and Joe Carnahan, director of the Liam Neeson survival film 'The Grey', Paramount and Cruise landed on Abrams to direct.
The film was a breath of fresh air to the franchise, reinvigorating fan passion for the spy-thriller franchise. The biggest credit of this film is its powerhouse cast. Tom Cruise of course reprises his role of Ethan Hunt, but it is the supporting cast that stands out more than ever. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays perhaps the most compelling and memorable villain in the series to date. The film introduced 'Mission: Impossible' franchise mainstays such as Simon Pegg as Benji and Michelle Monaghan as Julia — not to mention Billy Crudup, Ving Rhames, Keri Russell, Laurence Fishburne, and even a young Aaron Paul before 'Breaking Bad' stardom.
'Mission: Impossible III', while not my favorite of the series, was a righting of the ship and a launch point for a franchise that 15 years later continues to produce better and better films in 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol', 'Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation', and 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout'.
Abrams' first attempt at a sequel, 2013's 'Star Trek: Into Darkness', may have had the widest spectrum of popular fan opinion. Coming off the triumphant success that was 2009's 'Star Trek', expectations were high for the sequel. While critically the film did very well, hardcore 'Star Trek' fans found the film to be too similar to 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. What fueled the frustration was Abrams coming out prior to the film's release and shutting down rumors of similarities to 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' specifically with Benedict Cumberbatch's character. I assume some fans left the film disappointed when indeed many of the rumors were true — I was not one of those fans.
'Star Trek: Into Darkness' is one of my favorite 'Star Trek' films and, while not as great as its 2009 predecessor, is a worthy sequel to the Chris Pine-led 'Star Trek' trilogy. The entire cast that enamored audiences in 2009 returns with some key additions such as the aforementioned Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve. Cumberbatch does what Cumberbatch always does and steals the show, seeing him in a villainous role is especially enjoyable. Alice Eve is a jolt of fun and heart to the crew of The Enterprise. 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' I think is unfairly compared to previous films in the franchise, but on its own merits it holds up as a compelling continuation of the franchise as well as a deeply emotional journey for both Chris Pine's James T. Kirk and Zachary Quinto's Spock — more on them later.
The 'Star Wars' franchise had been quiet since the finale to George Lucas's prequel trilogy, 2006's 'Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith' released. While beloved by younger fans, the prequel trilogy was met with mixed reactions among critics and older 'Star Wars' fans. Longtime 'Star Wars' fans had the understanding that the franchise was finished and over with, some being at peace with it after the lukewarm to negative reaction the prequel trilogy received. When Disney purchased Lucasfilm and announced a new trilogy that would follow the events of the original three films, fans were eager to find out who would be the first director not named George Lucas to direct a 'Star Wars' film since 1983. Enter J.J. Abrams, reviver of franchises, savior of I.P.

Abrams was tasked with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, returning 'Star Wars' to the top of the mountain once again — and he did it. 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' skyrocketed 'Star Wars' back to prominence surpassing all expectations with fans, critically, and financially becoming, at the time, the third highest-grossing film of all time. Fans can have their issues with the subsequent films, but no-one can argue that when 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' was released, we all were back aboard the 'Star Wars' train.
Abrams brought back the classic, practical effect look of the original films, bringing back classic characters such as Harrison Ford's Han Solo and Carrie Fisher's Leia. We also were introduced to a new cast of compelling, endearing characters in Daisy Ridley's Rey, John Boyega's Finn, Oscar Isaac's Poe, and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. While the film has lost a little bit of its luster since seeing the subsequent films and the treatment of the characters that I found so enjoyable in this film, I cannot deny that walking out of this film I felt overwhelmed with happiness as it felt like 'Star Wars' was back.

At a point in his career, Abrams took a step away from franchises to create his own original film — that film was 2011's 'Super 8'. Inspired by Steven Spielberg's 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial', even having Spielberg produce, 'Super 8' is the most emotionally resonant film Abrams has ever made. While the film performed fairly well with critics and at the box office, it did not nearly achieve the heights I thought it would, leaving 'Super 8' as Abrams' most-underrated film. Based on two film concepts Abrams was attracted to, an alien invasion film and a film about children in the 80s trying to make a movie. Abrams combined the two ideas to create what we know now as 'Super 8'.
The action sequences are intense and spectacular, the dialogue is quick and clever, and the visual and special effects are exceptional. The train crash scene is one of the most memorable and intense sequences I've seen. The backbone of the film is not the spectacle however, the film is elevated by the characters and performances. 'Super 8' has some of the best child performances of any film — Joel Courtney, of 'The Kissing Booth' as our lead Joe captivates the audiences more than many adult actors do. His relationship with his father, played by Kyle Chandler, will pull on your heartstrings in ways you weren't expecting.
Elle Fanning, of 'The Neon Demon', is heartbreaking in the role of Alice and launched her career to new heights after the release of 'Super 8'. Each featured character in the film is handled with care and given an emotional journey that satisfies. The final scene of the film has one of my favorite instances of visual storytelling in Cinema — I cannot say enough about how incredible 'Super 8' is.

In 2009, the 'Star Trek' franchise was dead in the water. Outside of hardcore Trekkies, there was no excitement at the prospect of a reboot of the Enterprises five-year mission — that is until Abrams got the chance to revitalize it. Abrams' 2009 film, 'Star Trek', is definitively entrenched as my favorite of his films. Before getting into the particulars, I want to take the time to appreciate the big-picture of the film. Rather than retreading 'Star Trek' source material, the film boldly goes where we have not gone before. The film is a soft-reboot, meaning it is a new story-line with new actors but is still set within the timeline and world of the original 'Star Trek' franchise.
This is an incredibly intelligent way to approach reinvigorating a franchise as it turns the page without telling fans of the original content that what they love no longer matters. The film takes place before the unification of the crew audiences had grown to love, giving the film the chance to grow each of their characters and show how our band Enterprise crew members found each other. Abrams works in fan service moments such as the Kobayashi Maru test that don't just act as fun easter eggs, they propel dynamics between the characters, specifically with Spock and Kirk.

'Star Trek' is a blast from start to finish — while the action sequences, strong visual style, and witty banter are great, like all stories, what makes it work is the characters. Recasting the iconic original crew of 'Star Trek', William Shatner's James Tiberius Kirk and Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock especially, is a tall task — this film, however, nails it. Chris Pine as Kirk brings just enough of himself to the role making it feel like both a young version of Shatner's Kirk while also making it his own — the same goes for Zachary Quinto's Spock. Quinto and Pine's chemistry in the roles is the best part of the film. The two are diametrically opposites of each other, which is a fresh take on the two intergalactic best-friends we see in the original show.
Even though they are at odds, the two characters do find a kindred spirit in one another. The supporting cast is phenomenal and matches Pine and Quinto's energy. Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Eric Bana, and even a bit of Chris Hemsworth all share screen time in the film. Each character gets their own moments to shine and have a part to play in the beautiful machine that is this film. Leonard Nimoy even gets a chance to return to the role of Spock which will make any film fan smile. Finding a film that is more enjoyable from start to finish is a near-impossible task. 'Star Trek' will leave you smiling as starships speed past glistening stars on screen and is Abrams' true creative masterpiece.

Q: why it throws an exception when i tried to save a user? This related to my previous post, even though it was original posted as this post it ran in to another problem to which it was answered. So to avoid complexity i have decided to re-post it with a confirmed single error!
i have the following Create() post method to save a user to mst_users table.
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create(CustomerVM custObject)
    {

        if ( ModelState.IsValid )
        {
                mst_users user = new mst_users
                {
                    uName=custObject.User,
                    password=custObject.Password,
                    dtCreated=DateTime.UtcNow,
                    isLocked=false
                };

                db.mst_users.Add(user);
                db.SaveChanges();
             }
        }
}
