His collection was obviously how he spent most of his money.  The guy who robbed him is probably wondering what he's going to do with all of the stolen property...since publicity about the robbery has probably gotten to everyone who might buy the goods.

Hopefully, the guy gets caught before he damages or scatters the  collection.

Just great....more violence in Egypt.  And now its against the Israeli embassy.  I guess it was just a matter of time.  This quote from one of the Egyptian protesters echoes my sentiments exactly.

We don't want the Americans' money


Works for me.  Stop sending money to Egypt and Pakistan.  They arent doing us any favors and a good portion of the money ends up getting funnelled away from its intended destinations anyway.  Put the money back into domestic programs instead of our so-called allies.

Funny how Americans of all political persuasions can agree on this point, yet the situation never changes. Makes you wonder who's really pulling the strings.

Don't mistake the downfall of tyrants in the Middle East for "democracy."  

When these nations really get "democracy" they will first murder each other, then they will declare jihad on whatever is handy...starting with Israel.

You mean like how Libyan lynch mobs attacked blacks, after Obama's airstrikes allowed them to win in the first place? Bet that will help him in the election.

I mean that the strong will murder the weak.

Muslims will murder Muslims for not being Muslim enough.

Both sides will murder Christians for not being Muslims.

All will call for the murder of Jews.

The savage and ignorant will win the elections.

The winners will become tyrants to match their predecessors.

Why? Because that is their nature.

The US will respond with kindness, violence, generosity, patience, outrage, tolerance, subtlty and brute force, because that is our nature.

A well put together online 'zine in PDF form, covering general wargaming and RPGs, and with a regular section on painting and basing minis from some pretty accomplished artists.....

http://irregularmagazine.com/

No idea who they are or where they are, but the 'zine seems to be two years in (quarterly), and they seem to really enjoy what they do, so good on them for getting it down in print.

And it's free!

>EDIT<

Sheffield, England, it would appear.
And I thought the Gaming Community was virtually dead in the UK  :oops:

Hey:  You guys who publish your own pamphlet-sized modules.....

How do I go about doing this?

Where to I look for printing?

What are the things I need to do?

Pitfalls to watch for?

OT OT...

Appealing to our Scottish members mainly, as I am after an early print copy of a book, non-RPG related.

Its by John Longmuir - Dunnottar Castle, Its Ruins and Historical Associations. My Google Fu isnt retrieving anything before the 10th print and I'd need a much earlier print please.. Possibly even two!

Cheers
Dave

Isn't that the one up near Stonehaven (birthplace of the deep fried mars bar)?  I have some pics if you need them :)  I visited last summer - great location and walk out there and ruins were good too.

Here's a link to where the various editions are to be found in libraries. You can contact a local library, & ask for an inter-library loan.
http://www.worldcat.org/title/dunnottar ... /316547176
It looks like there are two old editions in Canada, plus one in Scotland.
