The answer to that question is "sometimes." I know that's vague, but there's a good reason: cancer isn't just one thing. It's an umbrella term for cases of rampant cell division that have certain properties. But other than the properties that make something "cancer" it may have virtually nothing...

Well no, that's the thing. It wouldn't make teachers any better. Not by itself anyway. It would merely make merit-based pay something that is unquestionably based on actual merit. It's sort of a thought experiment, I guess. Proponents of merit-based pay don't typically, in my experience, provide...

So on the one hand, what matters for you is what the letter of the law happens to be. It's binding on all of us, no ifs, ands, or buts. And on the other hand, you want smoking to either be legal everywhere with no stipulations or illegal everywhere with allowances. Yet, the letter of the law...

The issue of banning smoking in restaurants and such is interesting to me because about five years ago, we had this on the ballot where I live. I forget the details, although the ban did pass. I didn't vote on it either way, but my father and my sister voted against each other on it, which is...

Since the topic has come up, last year I actually spent some time making up a system for merit-based pay to work. I'd look for what I originally wrote down back then if I weren't on vacation, but the gist of it was that I read someone stating that merit-based pay was a total pipe dream and gave...

"Let us back away. Whatever they are, they may only have been startled. If they are defending their territory and we absolutely must explore this path, it will still be here on our return, barring any pesky enchantments to the contrary, of course."

I've had some distinctly bad teachers who were of above average intelligence as far as I could tell. I've also had some distinctly bad teachers who were morons. I know several bright people who would make terrible teachers. One of my best friends was going to a university with the intention of...

I lost track of things when I left anyway, but good job wolves I guess. I never suspected Melkor was actually one of them even for a second. I was too focused on the others.

In that case, you've still got nearly a month, Spidey. Come on, you can do it! ...uh, I mean Oversoul is still gone. Wi-Fi in hostels? No such thing. It's not like we're living in the future... ...Discuss.

Malcontents.

The door swings open, revealing a dark chamber littered with huge spiderwebs... And that's it until I get back in late October. I wonder what will be in the room with the huge spiderwebs...

If I were a werewolf, I wouldn't still be stuck in irons. They'd probably burst when I transformed or at least they'd get warped enough for me to slip them off. I know Spiderman thinks I'm bloodthirsty, but I'm not a vampire and if any of you tries to stake me in the heart or rub garlic on me or...

Carl Paladino. Christine O'Donnell. I would think so too. Maybe we're just crazy, though.

Is.

Dorgath's search reveals that other than being disguised as part of the wall, the door is pretty simple and contains no traps. Dorgath doesn't hear anything from listening at it, though.

*Cugel searches the the garbage for anything that might actually be cool.*

I haven't been keeping up with rules changes really, but I'm pretty sure you're right.

Heh. Not really, but kinda sorta. I work for a public library. I hadn't taken any vacation since started working there, and once it built up to 90 hours I had to start using it or losing it. I'm trying to get into the University of Washington for winter, so I figured if I wanted to go to Europe...

I'm going on vacation for like five weeks. First I'm going to Ireland for a bit (I have a good friend who is going to school in Cork), then all over Germany and also to Austria. I'll try to check in every once in a while for the Werewolf game and the D&D adventures (and maybe even the tribal...
