For atheists in the general El Paso, Amarillo, San Angelo, Abilene area.
Location: Western Texas
Members: 15
Latest Activity: May 13
This group does not have any discussions yet.
Hey guys, I just found this in a google search. :) I'm looking for an atheist group in El Paso. I have another friend who would also be interested in meeting up.
We are not very organized.
Considering the amount of atheist people here... no he shouldn't. I would love to see him though.
Does anyone drive on I-10 in el paso and see the christian sign? It Also has a crossed out depiction of evolution! I see it constantly and it bothers me because they are promoting the religion as they attack science. Cheers
Started a Meetup.com page for the Abilene Atheist Community:
Combined with our facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/AbileneAtheistCommunity/, we have around 40 members.
We had someone attend a meetup all the way from San Angelo yesterday.
My husband and I are about to move to San Angelo. Does anyone else live there or know of any atheist/freethinker/skeptic groups there?
I like in the Panhandle, about an hour north of Amarillo. I will be moving there shortly. Just wanted to say "hello" to you all.

I/O Kit Tools for iPhone and iPad
IO Kit is used for interfacing the different devices just as you are working on the particular operating system. In fact it's a sort of trainer on which you work for your applications. In this way you can program different devices to work the way you want for the purpose of developing different applications. Mostly we develop the device drivers in a high level language like objective C. To follow are some of the important tools for iPhone and iPad which might be of help to you for developing the device drivers.
Prerequisites Required
Before you start developing device drivers you should have a know how of C++ and kernel programming. You have to be more creative in your approach towards programming using I/O kit tools.
Salient Features
The I/O kit is provided with plug n play, sleep mode, separate memory banks for kernel and user applications, parallel and symmetric multiprocessing and it provides a lot of room for code reusability.
The kernel features supported by these drivers are objected oriented programming framework, primitives for communication, data management and threading. It is compatible with all bus types. Instantiated objects that belong to different classes are tracked through I/O registry. Layering of client and provider objects can be done without a fuss; no matter how complicated the order is. There is a great room for code reusability in the latest model of the I/O kit.
Blueprint Philosophy
The latest model of the I/O kit is different to its predecessors in a lot of ways. The available models before this were deficient in one way or the other. Many features of a modern operating system for example power management, driver stacking, automatic configuration etc. were absent in the previous models.
The crux of the design philosophy lies in the fact that object oriented programming model was developed. This architecture supports many devices with a way that is common among them. In the earlier versions this kit software development kits were separate entities but now the hardware is so much sophisticated that there is no requirement of complex codes. Application programming interface is open to all, resulting in facilitating the developers to use the source code for developing new drivers.
Provision of Namespaces
Name spaces are always helpful in identifying the classes. Therefore you should always try to use them and a reverse chronological order is preferred. Be cautioned never to declare an I/O subclass in namespace.
High Level Language Used
The programming language used is C++. However not every feature of this language is usable. There were many features in C++ that don't suite a multithreaded environment resulting in their exclusion. As a programmer you cannot play with exceptions, templates and multiple inheritance. The I/O kit possesses its own runtime typing system so no need for C++ to provide that.
Different parts of the I/O kit are described as below:;
Libraries Provided
Three C++ libraries are used by I/O kit. These are cloaked by framework. There are three frameworks used in all. These are IOKit, kernel IO kit and kernel libkern. Read More

The answer to the first question isn't trivial The functional benefit is liable to be arguable/minimal, but then so is the excess cost in terms of time/amount of use you'll get out of them.
Material I dunno. Think my very favourite socks are in fact polyester (because they stretch massively for a tight fit.). Merino very popular mind. In terms of smell you'll want a spare, very light evening pair anyway and can wash so not a major factor.
Bundles seem rare. In some ways a bit pointless too as, once you've got something that works for your shoes, you only really need 2 pairs tops.
Also if you are thinking of going for multiple pairs, the ability to experiment a bit is perhaps more worthwhile? Getting socks that really fit properly isn't trivial, especially as different shoes can require different thicknesses of sock to fine tune it.
How long is really long? What warmth level are you after?
(Soon implies warm season if in Northern Hemisphere...)
I only ever wear liners in cold (sub 5deg C) conditions.
I find Smartwool socks very comfy, but wear through in places relatively quickly.
Bridgedale wear better. Endurance range are good IME.
but, for work and walking I often use these unless it's very warm:
HJ Hall Cushion Sole Half Hose Indestructible
I pay £3.90 in a local shop
£5 a pair here
And in warmer times I also use these (cut down so to be shorter)
All Nylon Indestructible
Not fashionable I know, but they are both comfy and and wash easily in cold water and dry well compared to thicker merino socks.
(Iwear trail shoes outside winter)
Whatever you get you need to test them well to make sure of them, not sure price should come into it -the trip can be a chore if your feet are not right.
How many miles? I would do at least a 50 miler as a training hike that way you will be confident of all your gear. I wear trainers and for a couple of years have used Injinji toe socks with success i.e Pennine way and Pemb Coast path but the socks do not last long. I have now gone back to wearing two pair at a time of Bridgedale liner socks.
On a ten week spell once ( I did a 100 miler before that) I carried 6 pair of Bridgedale liners, 2 pair worn, 2 pr washed, 2 pr ready for washing or washed, changed everyday,even in the day. I carry a pair of runners seal skinz for wet times and a pair of Bridgedale thicker socks for sleeping in.
I tend to use Smartwool - find they don't pong too much. I suffer from cold feet and wear a pair of thick sock, a pair of medium/thin ones and liners at times, thermal or coolmax. On my trips to N Norway etc, I take a complete change and often another pair of thick ones, which can be useful for river crossings - so dual purpose. I take only SLs as footwear, tho hut slippers/fleece socks with basic soles have been useful and the sole seems to shed dirt if one walks around camp in dry conditions. Occasionally I'll take a 3rd pair of liners - they're very light. I almost always don't wear socks for longer than three days and they're fine, but I like to wash my feet say every two days, which helps.
If the sock is right, it's worth paying for, as bad socks will wreck your trip. It's also worth having variety in your socks e.g. different makes/types, so you can swap them around/remove liners if you wish.
Can'tt remeber when you're off, but we certainly had below zero conditions occasionally in Sept.
calum, you've probably left this question a bit late for experimentation
the only sock and the best sock is one that fits you properly irrespective of brand. i used to use liners (still do with my smartwools) until i found a sock that fitted me. don't need liners with them. fit really is paramount and then finding a brand that both fits and you're happy with. ui use x-socks simply because they fit well. they may have other virtues but i'm not bothered by them.
you may have to go to the size down from normal - remember socks are foot sizes and not footwear sizes - to get the upper limit size as close as possible to your foot size.
wash your "smelly" socks in polygiene - if you can track it down - to provide a long lasting anti-pong treatment.
Parky's right - you have left it a bit late to experiment.
It took me a a while to find the best socks. I tried 1000-milers, Bridgedale, Thorlo, Brasher and a couple of others before settling on Smartwool with (sometimes) Bridgedale Coolmax liners. Smartwools are an excellent fit for me, don't pong even after a few days' wear and are very comfortable.
If time is limited, you can't really go wrong with Smartwool, provided they fit your feet.
> Bridgedale wear better. Endurance range are good IME.
Ditto. My SmartWool socks wore out at the Achilles very quickly, whereas I've had my Bridgedales for years. I think the fine fibres of merino wool are simply too fragile for use in a single-fibre sock; in a fibre blend, possibly okay.
Has to be Bridgedales (Heavyweight) socks for me.
I've a few pairs of socks the blend of which are partially merino wool, they wick sweat away but feel wet to the touch when removed, although my feet were dry to the touch.
Having said that the bridgedales do the same without feeling wet to the touch, plus they didn't smell after being worn for 2 days on the trot, where the merino wool blend started to smell about half way through the second day.
BTW I normally wear boots on a daily basis and wear Bridgedales Heavyweight (Trekking and Hiking) as a daily sock and since starting to do this I've found I have fewer problems with my knees.
Also check the weather where you are going in Norway as it can get quite warm in Summer, upto mid-20s is common in Summer according to friends who live there.
Quite warm? We had 32C in late May/early June - unbelievable! The snow was flying off the hills, rivers blasting away. But that was further south, Tafjord. Interestingly, the water was still perfectly clean.
But back to the thread - my second trip to the Atlas was in the same boots and socks as the first, a winning combination kept for 'best'. But we were in a different part, and conditions were hotter. This, I reckoned, was the cause of massive blisters on both feet, up to 8 cm long - and bloody painful! I think it should have used thinner socks for that part, in hindsight.
LEKI are pole specialists - making poles is what they do
No matter your idea of fun, the new CNX footwear range is made for play

Hollywood's A-List Event!! – UNICEF Snowflake Ball
Saturday, December 19th, 2009I was thrilled to attend this year's UNICEF Snowflake Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel last week. The event honored Jerry Weintraub with the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award and included a room packed full with A-List celebrities including: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Willis, and Cindy Crawford just to name a few! I'm normally never star-struck, but who wouldn't be surrounded by all these great celebrities! The highlight of my exciting day…a big hug from Tony Bennett himself! But the biggest star that night was our show-stopping linen showcased on over 72 tables…..Lily Pad Violet with Iridescent Taffeta Jazzberry!
Doesn't she look amazing in violet; the way she can transform colors in different lighting….Oh and I guess George Clooney and his girlfriend look pretty amazing too!
Guest of Honor – Jerry Weintraub along with some other familiar faces!
Luciana & Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt enjoying their dinner conversation….

As a follow up to this post on updated Demon Lords: community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758... I have started this thread to update the gods of D&D. However, this time I want to get all of the Gods (and I would love some help). I am calling the official 4e gods "Greater Gods" (levels 34-40) to leave some room to expand the pantheon with "Lesser Gods" (levels 27-33). I now think that there are some "Minor Gods" also (inspired by the official release of Blibdoolpoolp). These would be level 22-26 solos or level 27-33 elites. The big difference is that lesser and minor gods do not discorporate. They would also have less action and condition mitigation resourcces. Anyway, here are the God levels (posted Gods in bold): Greater Gods: Lesser and Minor Gods: So, in alphabetical order this time: Asmodeus (updated - rev3) Avandra Bahamut (updated - rev2) I gave Bahamut two full turns, which I think will be my standard for gods with the soldier role, and updated is attacks. I added Divine Retribution to deal with ranged attacks and added some traits to deal with Epic PC defenses and attacks and that is about it. Bane (update - rev 1) Corellon Gruumsh Kord Lolth (update-Rev1) Didn't do to much to her drow form except add some off turn actions and moved Immortal Resilience to a trait (so doesn't count against her trigger actions). I felt Lolth's spider form needed more work. So added an off turn action and gave her a double attack standard action and added Webs of Rebuttal to deal with range attacks and an aura to deal with free action melee attacks. Moradin (update rev1) Pelor Raven Queen (updated - rev2) Sehanine Tharizdun Tiamat (updated rev2) Torog (update rev-1) Vecna (update rev-1) Zehir (update Rev-1)
Lesser Gods:
Maglubiyet (update rev1) First off, I am very happy to see that someone decided to make some actual legendary threats for 4E. Giving all the gods at least one mechanic to take two or more turns per round gives them more options, making fights more dynamic and interesting beyond the "It drops encounter powers, uses action points, then does its at will multiattack until a power recharges". The massive array of traits that remove or prevent most negative conditions (but not marks, so the defender stays important) makes them mechanically harder to kill, and if presented properly, it exudes the unstoppable force that a god should be, but it makes any penalty that can't be constantly reapplied next to useless as it won't even last a round (and some players might not like this because it will just favor the striker more in this encounter).
Perhaps if we gathered some ideas about what the gods should be like: roles, possible abilities, etc... us forum goers could put together a god by general consensus.
Like moradin would be either a brute or a soldier. He would be immune to forced movement and prone, and many of his attacks would push or knock enemies prone, and perhaps he would have some powers to create difficult terrain (that he ignores) zehir: definitely a lurker, ongoing poison damage, infrequent (insanely) powerful attacks... Gruumsh: brute, reckless multiattacking / charging / burst or blast weapon based attacks. Bane: soldier, mix in a little skirmisher perhaps? Asmodeus: Controller / soldier, dominate / force targets to make melee basic attacks against allies etc... necrotic / fire ongoing damage. Kord: soldier, lighting, thunder, dazes, stuns, and secondary attacks on his melees (weapon hits, then have a burst of thunder or lighting around the victim) raven queen: controller, toss in some cold attacks, a few things that can be flavored as twisting fate (screwing over dice rolls with penalties or "roll 2 and take lower" come to mind, on top of the penalty to saving throws), the draining power of the shadowfell (munch those healing surges, and health), and of course death (carefully apply some penalties to death saving throws, or in extreme circumstances force failed throws)
One thing to remember about the God's stat blocks, and all 4e stat blocks really, the powers listed would just be powers the god would likely to be used in combat. I think we can assume that gods have ritual like powers, they are just not normally readily used in combat.
That being said, I think you need to play gods a little fast and loose and don't be hindered by the stat block, but use it as a starting point.
So here's a sketch for Asmodeus as a controller... (will be expanded upon over time)
Basic attacks: -Melee; comparably moderate damage, daze (save ends?) -Range; fire / necrotic + ongoing Standard actions: -A mobile melee/ranged combo, at will -"Archdevil's mark".. single target ranged. lower damage. Secondary attack if first hits. 2ndary hit: dominate (save ends) and ongoing. miss: daze until end of character's turn. Recharge: when no target is affected by it. -more to be added!-
I had an odd idea, where Asmodeus would be able to build upon a certain status condition...
X attack. dazes. if target is dazed, stuns. if target is stunned, dominates... something to that tune.
There are a few I remember off the top of my head: elder/ancient gray dragon's immobilize / petrify, Ogremoch's imobilize / petrify, and one of the unique dragons from draconomicon: chromatic dragons.
Another power / attribute. as an attack: targets of the attack can make a melee/ranged basic attack (with bonus to hit and to damage) against an ally to have this attack automatically miss them as an additional effect on some nasty save ends thing (that has a massive penalty to the save roll): if victim hits an ally, grant a free saving throw with no penalty.
now lets mix it with something I liked about Allabar, Opener of the Way... a nasty ongoing damage effect that recharged whenever someone saved against it. 1. Mark of Treachery. Standard, ranged 20, (automatic hit probably), the target takes ongoing XX damage (this cannot be reduced in any way), the only way the target can end this ongoing damage is by willingly hitting an ally with an attack. Recharge: when no creature is affected by this power. or for a scarier approach, which I personally love... 2. Mark of Treachery. Standard, encounter, ranged 20, (automatic hit probably), the target takes ongoing XX damage (this cannot be reduced in any way), the only way the target can end this ongoing damage is by willingly hitting an ally with an attack, that ally then suffers this effect. I also compiled the ideas together for easier reference
Another thing on Asmodeus... It doesn't feel right for him to just be this puppet master of masters, he needs a second form that is more raw power exploding from the depths of hell to scour over everything and claim the world's souls.
so perhaps this controller Asmodeus is him in his tux with his pimp cane, and the ripped Uberdevil will be his other form...
Divine Might: -4 to saves
@ archdevil's mark, its part of the name, not a mark (silly marks on solos though...)
So if the autohit attribute for mark of treachery is bad, perhaps the "recharge when no enemy is affected by it" line would be better (and maybe not have it bounce from victim to victim?) As for the "when bloodied" thing... -Triggered action (free), when first bloodied: area burst (?make it small, but with a high amount of damage to punish people who stayed close as they are generally more durable?), fire & necrotic, some combination of nasty effects, daze (save), prone, ongoing damage, damage vulnerability, etc... -Increase damage for basic attacks and have the multiattack toss out an extra attack or something to that tune. -A nice meaty TONS OF DAMAGE recharge 6 ability, pillar of hellfire? -and he might lose access to some abilities. Would he still be wielding his rod?
Xervous: I have a draft of Asmodeus ready, but I'm having problems printing from the MB. As soon as I can print it I will post it.
I've posted a draft of the Raven Queen. Let me know what you think.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for the remaining gods? Any requests for who to stat next?
@ Asmodeus
The peculiar trait that lets him take his two turns worth of actions over the course of the round is interesting to say the least... "Not so fast heroes, I shall always have the first and final say..." That aura of his is absolutely evil. any character that ever thinks of going close range will suffer from it, or if they want to avoid it, they will have to pay for it with wasted actions. The hellfire pillar is slightly vague on how long the pillar itself lasts... end of encounter? And as you noted, he does appear to have an overload on powers, especially minor ones which are superior to most of his at-will standards. Also, the manner in which his abilities recharge is unclear. Since you can use a minor action power with a standard action, does that mean he makes recharge rolls for his rod and the other minor abilites whenever he gets an action? might type more, but gotta eat~
@ Xervous
I updated Asmodeus. To streamline his powers I got rid of a redundant standard power (Crushing Rod) and eliminated a minor power (unholy word). I revised Symbol of Pain to incorporate some of the aspects of Unholy word. I clarfied Hellfire Pillar and revised the description of how he rolls for recharges. I reviewed his damage out put and tweaked a few. Nothing major, but a few adjustments.
Now that is a lot neater aside from the spelling errors that inevitably occur.
I like the Raven queen. The lower hp and deadly status conditions suggest that the fight would be a lot more intense than a fight with some giant stay-puff marshmallow man.
zones of darkness sound interesting, in the way of a multidoored jack in the box ... of doom.
da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Saving throw vs. death? also; he needs to have some nasty poison abilities, probably a swallow, a constrict, and maybe a trample.
I just posted a draft of Zehir finally - half way through the pantheon. It took me longer than expected, but it is a good start (both Zehir and the pantheon). I tried some new things with Zehir, so I hope it works out.
I have some revisions to Asmodeus, Bahamut, the Raven Queen and Tiamat pretty much complete. I hope to post them tomorrow - I'm to tired right now.
I've posted a minor update of Asmodeus. I wanted to make his aura a little less powerful and I corrected some spelling
Updated Bahamut - increased his Con/HP to reflect the colossal size of his dragon form.
Updated the Raven Queen. I reduced her level to 34. She is often referred to as the youngest of the gods, as such I put at the bottom. This is where I originally had her, but then moved her up when I saw the fan made lvl 37 version. After some more thought I have decided to go back to my original concept.
I know some will argue that with such important portfolios as fate and death she must be higher in level. But I don't see it that way in general, but definitely not 4e. In 4e the gods control/influence over their portfolios appears pretty limited. In addition, RQ has been shackled by the other gods (her lack of control over dead souls) and she was defeated by Orcus a lvl 33 threat. So I think lvl 34 seems about right to me. Feel free to argue or change in your own campaign. Which brings me to the another subject. If anyone wants the .monster files for any of the gods or demon lords that I have made, please PM your email address and I will send them to you. I can also send you the pdf files (higher quality) if you want as well.
I updated Tiamat. Revised her Con, Fort and HP to reflect her massive form. Moved Claw to a minor action, tweaked damages here and there. I gave the white head a unique at-will power and removed its encounter power and cleaned up the head only stat blocks in general.
I am thinking of doing Pelor next if anyone has any good ideas for him (besides radiant powers). That being said I seem to be in the process of revising the first half of the Pantheon, so it may be awhile before I get to a new god. I already have plans to revise Vecna and Moradin a little, so I might as well look at all of them again.
I couldn't help myself. I've posted a draft of Pelor. I used a quick and simple approach to bang it out. Any thoughts for improvement?
Ok, before embarking on the last 9 of the greater gods I decided to review what I had done so far. Well, I found something to correct or tweak with every one of them. So I will be updating them this week (about 1 per day). I will try to consider these final drafts, unless someone has some suggestions to make them better.
I am going through them in alphabetic order, so I have posted the revisions to Asmodeus and Bahamut will be next. After I get through all of the revisions I will start the next god (with maybe some rest between). I am thinking of doing Melora or Gruumsh next. Any thoughts?
I've updated Bahamut to final draft, unless someone has some suggestions for improvement
I've posted an update to Bane. Changed the names and tweaked a few powers, mostly on the God of Conquest (was Imperator).
Bane and Bahamut have made me think that to truly portray gods they should have multiple stat blocks. Depending on the situation you pick the one that you need.
I've updated Lolth. Really minor update. Tweaked some damage and allowed scourge to attack 1 or 2 creatures.
I will try in finish my updates by the end of this coming weekend and then on to new gods. I am pretty far along with a draft of Kord and I have a good start with Gruumsh. Until the next update!
Well I'm back...
I like what you did with Zehir, most notably the attack template, the justifiably nasty effects (save against death :D), and the nice tidbits of flavor text. I also got some ideas, take em for what you will, I've been playing WAAAY too much DotA 2 Sehanine: mounted archer perhaps? Or we might have yet another god with multiple forms (not at all a bad thing) erathis: a slight bit of steampunk perhaps, legendary book of law in one hand? - but what weapon would he wield? A fasces? (roman symbol of the law)
I've updated Maglubiyet and Moradin. Very minor tweaks to Maglubiyet.
I made one big change to Moradin. Since he is a god of creation/craft I decided to give him a creatorly power. No he can create Colossi of Morading to fight along side him. Not sure this the best way to handle that attribute of Moradin, but I thought I would give it a try. I may need to lower his AC as it is really high.
Updated the Raven Queen. Very minor tweaks to damage, hp. I did reduce the use of "Fate's Master" to 4 from 5.
I've got 4 more gods on my update list and then I will work on the drafts for Kord and Gruumsh
I've updated Tiamat. I big update this time with information from a playtest conducted over the weekend. I revised her actions to be more similar to the other gods; 2 turns + an instinctive action to get each head active instead of 5 partial turns. I think this plays better (it worked well in the play test). The other big change I made after the play test is to her damage.
Even with the updated MM3 lvl 36 brute damage she couldn't keep up with the tactically poor and unoptimized PCs she went against (she did kill 3 of the 5 before going down though). I have done some research in the past and I have decided to have all of my epic solos use the increased damage advocated at DMG 42: dmg42.blogspot.com/2012/02/boot-on-face-... These numbers simply return epic solo damage ratios to what were present in lvl 1 encounters. Given that epic PCs have a lot more methods to recover from damage, this is probably still low, but it is a good starting point. and an increase over MM3 damage. I also removed most of the ongoing damage because I found it really tedious to track. I think just increasing the overall damage gives you more bang for your buck. I plan to eventually update all the gods I've done with these new damage ratios. Let me know what you think.
I had a chance to playtest Torog over the weekend and I realized he need some more updates than I thought. Updated Torog with the new damage I am using (see the first post update) and I added a recharge power. I think this new power will help mitigate his low hit points.
Updated Vecna to the new damage levels (see first post for explanation) and tweaked the action point mechanic. I added a trigger power to deal with free action attacks (and he can recharge it now as well). I also added a standard recharge power to give him a heavy hitting power. I increased the damage on this power when he is blooded to provide the damage boost the guidelines suggest.
Updated Zehir. Minor tweaks - mostly to the new damage. This is the last update for a while. At some point I will go back and update all the gods with the new damage amounts (see first post). But for now I am going to move on to new gods. Grummsh is up next then Erathis.
I posted a draft of Gruumsh. I would love any comments for improvements as I think this is farily rough draft. Also, as I am drafting up Erathis next and suggestions would be welcome as well. I plan to use Xervous' steam punk idea as a starting point, just not sure what to do with that yet.
well I'm back, again. Nice to see that everything is coming along :D
now that you mention it, shying away from ongoing damage (when it absolutely is not necessary for flavor) is a good thing, seeing how many off turn actions players have available on top of ways to deal with ongoing effects. It could very well mean the difference between the ranger going down or the warlord giving him a few more attacks, or the defender staying up when him dropping would give the god some temporary mobility increase... etc etc As for erathis and its (his/her?? idr right now) adopted steampunk theme, I feel this could be well... erathis has mechanical armor with cogs and whosits and whatsits and spinning things galore with occasional discharges from the mechanization within. maybe weave it into defensive traits / powers, or... (hey, another when bloodied thing) the armor breaks when erathis is bloodied, removing some abilites while boosting / allowing others... yawn. Seems so repetitive but i guess its an interesting design if players are only going to see one or two of these gods in their DnD careers. an interesting defensive effect for the armor (or perhaps another god): if more than X damage is dealt in a turn, it triggers a burst daze/stun/slow (and/or possibly a teleport for the god) to prevent nova turns from becoming too big. Depending on how big X is, it could be aimed at different levels of optimized characters.
I'm really busy with work for the next month or so. Any chance some of the fine minds on these forums want to take up the challenge and stat one or more of the remaining gods?
Comments and suggestions for the current list are appreciated as well.
This thread has been moved by VCL request.
If you have any questions, please contact: Customer Service
Any chance for some Tharizdun stats in the future? A fight against him will be the cap to my current campaign.
Any ideas on some powers for him would be great too. As the god of madness, I can see him causing lots of effects like dazing, sliding the PCs around, making them attack each other, and just generally causing chaos on the battlefield. Though he also has the Annihilation domain, so seems he should also be able to deal out some serious damage on at least a few of his attacks. Also, anyone know what his domains were before he got a hold of the shard of evil? From what I understand he only took on annihilation, madness due to the shard's influence.
I've started work on Tharizdun, but I am having a problem on creating the powers. Any suggestions? Weapon type, energy type,etc.? Any help would be great as I am kinda stumped at the moment.
Psychic and necrotic, possibly with more elemental damage types to get past how common psychic and necrotic resistance are, and to tie in with his association with the Elder Elemental Eye.
Effects that 'corrupt' enemies. In addition to dominate, and to further tie in with a possible elemental theme, try something that turns enemies into walking debuffs - light one on fire, surround another with a whirlwind, another with floating, razor-sharp rocks, and another with a constantly-shifting whirlpool. Weapon should probably be a whip, scourge, or lash of some sort. I seem to remember that being his favored weapon in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, to tie in with his symbol.
Here is an update to Geryon. I minor revision/tweak of the official version. Read the 1st page for the explanation of the damage increase. Adding some minor and move powers and allowed him to use his Horn of Geryon. Let me know what you think.
That is awesome, thanks for the hard work, I appreciate it. Should make things interesting for my PCs, if they make it that far.
I have uploaded Corellon, he is on the first page. I also realized that with Tharizdun finished I have completed all of the evil ggreater ods. I also only have one good greater god left, so I think I will do Avandra next and then finish off the unaligned greater gods. No immediate plans to finish the lesser gods. I will do those upon request or if the whim strikes. However, I also noticed that my pre-Tharizdun god damages seem to be off somewhat. Thus, I want to review all my previous gods and update their damages as needed (yay!)
I couldn't help myself, I did this one on my lunch break. I didn't have to change much from the official version. I upped her level by 1 to fit into my definition of a minor god. Thus, she is probably the weakest god that I will stat. Anyway, here is the Sea Mother:
Well after the Sea Mother I got inspired to do another sea god that I thought would be pretty easy. So I bring you Sekolah - The Great Shark, exarch of Melora and another Lesser God. As always comments and suggestions are welcome.
So here is the Iron Lord of Dis: Dispater. Just a quick update of the official stat block with some new traits and powers I added for a being of equal power to a lesser god. I went with the 3e "Flesh to Iron" and "Rust" abilities. Thet seemed pretty interesting. I hope you like it.
Well, I believe this is the last of the officially stated ArchDevils: Glasya, Princess of Hell and ruler of the 6th level of Hell - Malbolge. The officaly write-up for Glasya is a really great lvl 29 elite. Which puts here in the minor gods category (see the first post). The only thing I would really do with her would be to update her damage to the DMG 42 blog standards. However, I went slightly further and decided to make her a lvl 24 solo (per the elite to solo guidelines), updated the damage and added some off turn attacks. Otherwise pretty much straight out of the book (or magazine in this case). I actually prefer has a level 29 elite, but I wanted to demonstrate modify an elite to beome a solo - so I did! Anyway, here is Glasya:
I've posted Avandra (page 1), so I have now completed all the evil and all the good greater gods. Just 4 unaligned greater gods to go!
I updated Sekolah. I realized I had accidentaly calculated the brute damage for Sekolah as an increase of 1.5x instead of the correct 1.25x standard damage. It is correct now.
Bel, Lord of Avernus, General of the Blood War. I thought about just advancing Bel to be a solo pit fiend, but then I thought he might be more interesting as an elite, so I advaced him to a level 31 elite instead of making him a solo. I updated the typical pit fiend powers, added some more and switched out the mace for Bel's flaming greatsword. I imagine the 8 would look pretty similar to Bel.

I'm trying to do some simple physical sharding using AbstractRoutingDataSource along with Hibernate. I don't want to use Hibernate Shards, since we want to be able to change ORMs and still shard (I'll be adding other ORMs in a future version of this test).
I've attached a maven test project that attempts to shard with two empty localhost MySql databases named "bob" & "jack" (make sure jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bob & jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jack are available via username "root" & password "password" or change dataSource-context.xml to use the right valuesshard-test.zip). I thought it was working, but I realized that AbstractRoutingDataSource#determineCurrentLookupKe y() is not getting called (see the project's ShardedDataSource class), and therefore "jack" is never getting touched, only "bob".
Right now, I've got database schema generation turned on, but realize it probably wouldn't work across shards & should be off anyway. I've also set AbstractRoutingDataSource's lenientFallback property to true where I'd prefer false, and defaultTargetDataSource to "bob" where I'd prefer there to be no default data source at all, but application context initialization fails when there's no key. I tried a no-op data source class for defaultTargetDataSource, but that didn't work, either.
Can anyone knowledgeable have a look and see why ShardedDataSource#determineCurrentLookupKey() is not getting called and all calls are being routed to the default/first data source?

James Kyle Clark, 34, of 4130 Cave Spring Road, was attempting to pass two tractor-trailers while going more than 100 miles per hour while traveling south near the bypass on U.S. 411, according to Sgt. Greg Beck of the Floyd County Police Department.
When Clark realized he couldn't pass the tractor-trailers, he veered into the other lane and nearly hit a Jeep Liberty head-on.
Clark then hit an embankment with his 1995 Honda Accord, causing it to go airborne.
Clark, who was not wearing his seat belt, was thrown from the car about 90 feet into a field.
Clark suffered a broken leg and wrist, according to Beck. He and a passenger, Donna Michelle Carter, 30, of Rome, were taken to Floyd Medical Center for treatment.
Clark is charged with DUI, driving on the wrong side of the road, driving with a suspended or revoked license, giving false information to a police officer, open container, passing in a no passing zone, reckless driving, no seat belt and driving too fast for conditions, all misdemeanors.
He is also being held for Polk County.

Don't get tangled in the IPO yarn
Washington Post
When it comes to job creation, yes, companies do create some jobs after they go public, but nothing approaching the 900 percent growth in employment over 10 years that the University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter says a 2011 National Venture Capital Association report implies. The cumulative 10-year growth rate for IPOs, according to Ritter, is closer to 60 percent.

The 72-year-old, who led the Wallabies to their 1991 World Cup triumph in England and later coached both Leicester and Bristol, is reported to have complained of chest pains at home yesterday before being taken to a Sydney hospital.
It was in hospital that he suffered the heart attack, and emergency treatment saw him survive the scare.
Dwyer told Fairfax Media: "I'm doing well. I feel fine.
"I had a cardiac arrest whilst I was in the emergency ward at Bowral Hospital.
"I was on a monitor and had the doctor with me and (then) I had the arrest.
"They gave me the electrical charge straight away and I came straight back.
"Talk about being at the right place at the right time. If it had have happened at home, I would be dead."
There was swift reaction from the rugby world to Dwyer's fright.
Former Australia centre Tim Horan, who played in Australia's World Cup final win over England at Twickenham 21 years ago, wrote on Twitter: "Wishing Bob Dwyer a speedy recovery from a heart attack. Not many can combine being a great coach and a great person."
A more recent Wallaby, Wendell Sailor, wrote: "Just like to wish Bob Dwyer a speedy recovery after suffering a heart attack one of the real gentleman. #getwellbob"

The color is nothing like it looked like on the website.
I ordered this thinking it was red and white and it's actually very orange and a light yellow. I should have read the other review. I would have been ok if it was orange and white not orange and yellow. I think it would have been so cute if it was red and white though! I'm not sure if I'll be returning this or not. Maybe it'll grow on me. :(

Ok I suppose...
I ordered this iPhone 5 case via the Tory Burch website and was so looking forward to it's arrival and when I did received it, I was a bit disappointed that the case was not true to color as the website displays it...it's offwhite and orange stripped. I still like the case but was shocked to hear a friend of mine say it "looks as if the case is discolored" :(

Hardshell Case for IPhone 5
This product is exactly as pictured. It is so cute and fits the iphone 5 perfectly. Extremely easy to see in your purse or wherever you may have left it.
I am waiting for more soft cases by Tory Burch for the IPhone 5, though. I had a soft case for my Iphone 4 that was tackier to the touch and easier to hold onto. Especially in the winter when my hands are dry, it is easy for these slick, hard cases to slip from my hand.
If you prefer the hard cases -- or even if you don't -- this is a great case!

"Built in 1981"
I just had to have my State water heater replaced. It was manufactured in 1981, so it lasted over 30 years. So, when it broke, I didn't hesitate buying another State water heater. I am very pleased with my State water heater and would buy it again. I believe that has to be a record of how long the water heater lasted. If not, it should be.

"State Select is horrible"
State Select water heaters are horrible. Ours continues to have the pilot light shut off during cold days so you get a double whammy in the morning: cold floors and cold water!

"State Select is Awful Stay away"
My water heater goes down after 4 years, my plumber troubleshoots the problem but won't offer any help because they claim the vent is 1' longer than recommended. They would not even sell me the part. Funny thing is that it was their recommended contractor that did the install who also would not stand behind his work. Seems like these guys are made for another. Anyhow, save yourself the headache and expense and try something else.

"50 Gal electric"
This electric hot water heater was installed on Feb 22, 1989. It's starting to be a little slow in the recovery area. I don't know about the quality of State now, but my experience with a my water heater that has lasted almost 24 years tells me they made a good product at one time.
Location: CA
Satisfaction Rating:
"Worst Heater Ever"
I purchased a State Water Heater 2 years ago and it has already failed! I am now out several more thousand dollars and State is not honoring their 10 year warranty. Two different plumbers told me they make horrible products. Do not buy their heaters!
Location: Frederick, MD
Satisfaction Rating:
I have a State 75 gallon water heater and I will never buy one again. My water heater stopped working this morning and when I called a plumber out to fix it, I found out that there was a recall on my model. More importantly, the entire inside of my water heater is burned because of a Manufacturer - State - defect. The burner flashed back into the body of the water heater and burned the inside of the heater, the outside gas control module, and the values. I am very, very lucky that my entire house didn't burn down because of this. Then, when I contacted State about having it fixed... 1 - It will take 3 business days just to ship me the parts; 2 - I have to have one of their contracted installers install it; and 3 - They will not reimburse me for the plumbing costs for the very nice person who came out and figured this all out for me. So, now I have no hot water for at least 4-5 days (or more since today is Friday) and then I have to pay the $300+ to the plumber who was the only person who helped me with this issue. Don't do it. Buy anything else.
Location: MILLSBORO DE
Satisfaction Rating:
Bought this water heater 3 years ago and have had the plumber here every year and sometimes more. so far state has replaced the wire harness, the blower motor and the gas valve and still having problems. they will not replace this defective water heater. they will send new parts but now I have to pay for the labor. ii've now written a letter to the better business bureau and to the states attorney generals office. they need to give me a new water heater.
Location: Rochester, NY
Satisfaction Rating:
"Failed in 6 weeks"
Purchased new for $810. Unit failed after 6 weeks. Had part swapped out under warranty but it still cost me $225 in labor. Went to the state website and filled out the online form for reimbursement. Never heard anything back. A week later I called, but state would not cover the $225 in labor. State used to be quality water heaters, but State has sent manufacturing to mexico and the quality is no longer there. If you like cold showers, and paying for STATE's lack of quality control, this is the brand for you.

Graham Harrell Encourages All-Stars to Chase their Dreams
By: Matt Roberts
Updated: April 22, 2012
Current Green Bay Packers quarterback and former Texas Tech Red Raider, Graham Harrell, made a visit to the Key City on Sunday to Speak to the Myrle Greathouse FCA All Stars, about chasing their dreams as they transition from high school to College.
"My goal is to, like I said, just encourage the kids more than anything," Harrell said. "And transitioning from high school to college, it's a big transition, and my goal is to just encourage them to stay strong in the lord and dont give up on their dreams."
Harrell spoke to a room full of players, coaches, and parents all involved in the, 2012 Myrle Greathouse FCA All-Star Classic, about some of the lessons he learned during his football career.
But after a full day of speaking to the athletes Harrell got back on a plane to Green Bay to chase his own dream, as he is now backing up All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"You know I get to learn from and experience, football at the best level whenever he's out there," he said. "So I'm very blessed, like I said, to get to be with him and he's so great to me so, like I said, I'm very fortunate to be there."
The Myrle Greathouse FCA All Star Classic games, including a girls basketball game and a football game, will be played on June 2nd.

I quite enjoyed Fable Coin Golf and love me some Fruit Ninja but I already own them! From the trial of Hydro Thunder I played awhile back I will be sure to pick it up!
All games worth owning! :D

Already got Fable Coin Golf when it was game of the week (love it), and Fruit Ninja was the first game I purchased when I got my phone (its still one of my favorite games).

I have been thinking about Fruit Ninja for a while, just never grabbed it, for $2, it's worth it.

Pleaaaase don't tell me i'm the only one who thinks fruit ninja SUCKS on windows phone! on the 1st gen, at least. It's really bad on my HD7! it's just slow, the framerate is too low..and why haven't they updated it to mango yet??? argh
is it the same on the second gen phones like, say, the lumia 800?
