Warning for you newer parents. Hopefully you never experience this. If you ever have to take a child to an emergency room for a big bump don't be surprised if you get questioned to be sure it's not abuse. Not pleasant when you're worried about your little one.

They will both start to 'Power Ranger' stuff soon. It's actually a pretty fun stage. :)

I HAVE FOUND MY DREAM JOB!
Position Available Immediately:
Apprentice Sith Lord,
Dark Side Consulting Group.
The Dark Side Consulting Group has a sudden opening for an Apprentice Sith Lord. The ideal candidate for this position would enjoy extensive galactic travel and possess an understanding and competence with the Force, or at least posses rudimentary Force skills and demonstrate a willingness to let their hatred flow through them.
Responsibilities include:
* Performing competitive intelligence
* Hands-on involvement in support of the Sith Master's planning initiatives
* Willingness to travel the galaxy widely
* Operation a variety of laser-powered hand weapons
* Piloting various high-powered space/air vehicles.
* Slaying of enemies of the Dark Side
Qualified applicants would possess excellent communications skills (especially when speaking in menacing whispers) and would be action-oriented individuals and risk takers. 99% travel is required. A background in The Force (light side or dark) is desirable. Any advanced degrees or significant course work in the Jedi Arts from the University of Coruscant would be a plus.
Applicants should also be familiar with holographic projection equipment, possess a valid galactic pilot's license, and show a willingness to give in to their hate. A proven track record of using fear and/or Jedi mind tricks to control others is desirable, as is the ability to speak several galactic languages. Ideal candidates for this position would have no children or other living relatives who are strong in the ways of the Force (a new hire would be given several weeks to meet this requirement). Working knowledge of Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 is also required.
Compensation for this position is commensurate with experience, and is extremely competitive for this field. Benefits include a generous severance package, a company starship, and a dark-colored clothing allowance. The Apprentice Sith Lord reports to and works closely with the Sith Master, and experience in such small, team-based organizations is vital to the success of the Master's plans. Discretion is also highly valued, as is the ability to see the future before it happens.
Interested applicants should submit their resume via The Force to The Emperor.
Dark Side CG is a small highly-focused organization, founded a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Our core values reflect the short-term advantages of harnessing hatred for institutional power and the long-term advantage of controlling the galaxy. We provide direction to our partner organizations through knowledge management, incident control and rapid on-site intervention capability. Our partnered organizations include the Imperial Senate, the Hutt Gambling Collective of Tattooine, Paizo LLC. and many large software companies.

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Dr. Tom finished his morning round of procedures at the surgical center, only to realize much later that he wasn't sure where he left his watch and wedding ring. Meanwhile, Charlie's unexpected reaction to anesthesia left his parent's with a hospital bill that included costs for furniture, a computer, casts for broken bones, and at least one straight jacket. And, across town, Scott and Sarah were relieved when....No, wait! That's my soap opera!

I brought it in to work today, slung across my shoulder. Felt good, like a masterwork tool should. It's a tool, you know, not a weapon. You don't just flail about in battle, it's meant to be used carefully, with precision, after much careful consideration.*
Pics will have to wait because Sara is sleeping and I depend on her to post pics to the intarwebs. (The only way I know how to put stuff up is to write a bunch of code and put it on paizo.com....)

Well, I don't think it was meant to be taken serious.

Just wanted to swing by and congratulate Taig again on a job well done with the Phasic Ravager. You really stepped up your game this round - keep it up.
Gary got a PHYSICAL hammer to accompany his metaphysical one? What is the world coming too!?!?!

So much for pics of Gary smashing someone's walnuts.....
Be sure that no one else is handling your hammer without your permission, or at least until after they've bought you a few drinks. ;D

Interesting - a karmic lesson... After telling somebody that the rest of the world couldn't tell and doesn't care about regional variations in accent outside the main ones, I am slightly miffed about a Pom using 30 year old slang in an article.
I now understand the annoyance the other person experienced and shall eat a teaspoon of cement and harden the f%~$ up.

Pomegranate!

Pomegranate!
Pom is a a half joking half derogatory term Australians (and Kiwis) use to denote the English ( not the Scots, Welsh or Irish) kind of like Limey but worse and yet not as bad.
Nobody knows it's origin - pomegranate is thought to be one as its the colour they go in the Australian sun. It has also been suggested that it comes from the shortening of the French word for potato a pallid round ugly thing that lives in dirt and mud. Also Prisoner Of (his/her) Magesty and so on...
We know it annoys them and the English deserve to be annoyed.
Don't get us wrong though if ever England is in trouble we are the first to help.

Deserve to annoyed? Is this another Australian word with a different meaning like "be complimented for being the greatest contributor to civilization?" ;-)
This from the people who left the empire, fought an unnecessary war with the english, changed the spelling of words, stopped playing cricket and turned up late to two world wars :-) and supplanted them as the most powerful nation in the world. We pale in comparison at your ability to annoy the English. :-)
You are the master and we are but the students.
