A little over a year ago, Thandi* found herself in a seemingly unsolvable set of circumstances. An immigrant from Zambia to South Africa, she had been working as a prostitute in Cape Town and was seeking a way to get out of the industry.
She was sleeping in a train station, didn't have any family in the country, and the only people she knew in the city were also involved in sex work. When she appealed to a local church, they didn't know how to help her other than by giving her dried beans—which of course she had no means to cook.
When her situation got "very, very desperate" she went to the only organization she had heard of that worked with sex workers, but found that they offered the very opposite of what she needed.
"They advocated for a legalization of sex work, whereas I was looking to get out of it."
Twelve months later, Thandi's life looks radically different. She eventually found Embrace Dignity, a non-profit organization in Cape Town that advocates for legal reform to end prostitution and sex trafficking while offering services and support to women seeking exit, known as 'Sisters.' With their help, Thandi has fully transitioned to gainful employment and is once again honing the career skills she used in her native Zambia.
Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, who co-founded Embrace Dignity in 2010 with her husband, is a life-long gender activist who also served in South Africa's first post-apartheid parliament. She says that the feminist struggle in South Africa often gets lost in the country's other racial and economic problems. That is part of the reason why Embrace Dignity's stance on prostitution is absolute: prostitution is not the world's oldest profession, but the world's oldest oppression. In other words, it's only chosen as an income source when a woman lacks a viable alternative.
"We actually see [prostitution] as being very much embedded in gender inequality," Madlala-Routledge says. "And in a country like South Africa—where there is a history of racism and sexism—what you are doing if you legalize prostitution is communicating that women's bodies are available if you have money. Men then gain this understanding that women's bodies are there for their gratification, [even if they don't have money]."
Masiphakameni ('let us rise' in isiXhosa) is the name of the self-empowerment group that Embrace Dignity facilitates for the Sisters. The women receive a stipend and meet three days a week to speak about their struggles without fear of stigmatization. They are also trained in career skills, literacy, computing and most recently, photography—the results of which were exhibited at the Photovoice exhibition at the University of Cape Town in August.
"One of the biggest problems for these women is isolation: from their community, from friends, from family, and even from the sisters they are working with in the street," Madlala-Routledge says.
"Slowly they've started to feel comfortable talking to people outside their support group," adds Thandi. "When we did the Photovoice launch here at our offices we had a very huge turn out of people that the sisters had never met before and they were sharing their stories openly."
The group has been meeting for a year, and while it only includes 10 former sex workers at present, Embrace Dignity sees the group as a scalable model that other community organizations throughout South Africa can replicate. The goal is to create a network of self-help resources for women who find themselves in a situation similar to Thandi's.
The biggest issue in South Africa, a country with roughly a 25 percent unemployment rate, is finding sustainable career paths so the Sisters don't have to resort back to sex work. One of the ways Embrace Dignity does this is via mentorships. One such mentor is the runner up of Master Chef South Africa, who provides training in the fundamentals of running a successful restaurant, from crafting an enticing menu to keeping track of finances. Other sisters are learning the business side of beadwork, and another now owns a camera and is pursuing photography.
But perhaps the most significant thing Embrace Dignity does is less tangible in nature: it begins to give women their agency and self esteem back and allows them to define themselves beyond what their bodies are worth.
"The sisters have improved so much and so have I," Thandi says. "Before I went to Embrace Dignity, the people I knew would never help me achieve what I wanted to achieve—instead they would have pulled me back to what I was trying to run away from. Here I've met a lot of people and started my life all over again."

We're growing the community of people sharing creative solutions for living well and doing good, and want you to be a part of it. If you have an insight, experience, idea, or project you want to share with the GOOD Community and need more space to tell your story than posting a link on good.is allows, email us at email@example.com.
Awesome project! Empowerment is the key; once we share our stories and realize we are not alone AND reduce the stigma felt it goes a long way in helping women to identify their inner potential and talents. To next connect them to the resources they need to bring their potential to fruition so they can live up to their capabilities is not only possible as this article demonstrates, it also inspires countless others to tell their story, feel empowered and make the choice to take a risk on another path. Thank you for sharing another project with lots of potential.
PS. Perhaps sometimes we think too much about the HOW rather than trusting and doing. It worked in this community therefore it can work in others too. (in my opinion)
I love that Embrace Dignity is empowering these women with job skills- especially creative ones like photography. Wondering how they're scaling this to other countries?
Good question Alessandra. Embrace Dignity hopes that once they prove/test the best way to empower women to get out of sex work (and identify potential pitfalls and how to overcome them), they can then help other organizations in South Africa and in other countries apply their method. But for now, they are focused on mentoring their first class of Sisters.
Looking forward to seeing updates of their progress. I wonder what other job training they'll be doing?
We are also helping two of the women to finish high school.They are still very young but can't go back to conventional schools for various reasons

Part Three of The Current
Changes to the fair-trade movement
The fair trade idea is probably as familiar to most coffee drinkers as the smell of roasted beans. The details behind the fair trade movement however are probably not that familiar to most consumers. Even people directly involved know it's a moving target. Lately, some feel the target's moved too far from the original intentions.
Exactly how to support producers in the developing world split the Fair Trade movement when Fair Trade USA announced plans to certify estates and plantations that met its standards. Up until then, fair trade products came exclusively from small farmer cooperatives.
To pursue its model of fair trade, Fair Trade USA parted ways with Fair Trade International -- the organization representing fair trade groups worldwide, including Canada's. Paul Rice is the CEO and President of Fair Trade USA. He says this innovation to the fair trade model could help lift millions out of poverty in the developing world. Paul Rice joined us from Oakland California. And Michael Zelmer is the Director of Communications for Fair Trade Canada. He was in Ottawa.
This segment was produced by The Current's Liz Hoath.
Last Word - Arcade Fire & Mick Jagger on SNL
Our Last Word word today goes to the Montreal band Arcade Fire and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, they performed together on NBC's Saturday Night Live on the weekend. Arcade Fire generated buzz for appearing with little red squares pinned to their shirts.
The red square has become the symbol of Quebec's student protesters, who continued to take to the streets over the weekend despite the province's controversial new law aimed at cracking down on the demonstrations. Police used tear gas and made dozens of arrests when some protesters turned violent on Saturday night. And last night, the protests continued with a number of violent clashes with police arresting 300 demonstrators.
Students are preparing for what is expected to be an even larger demonstration tomorrow night. Tomorrow on The Current, we'll ask what can be done to break the impasse and resolve - once and for all - the crisis that began over tuition fees in Quebec. And on Wednesday, we'll look at some of the unintended consequences of the protests.
But we ended today's program with some of that performance from Saturday Night Live.

"As long as they have each other, they'll be fine."
I had to agree.
I have a photo of my daughters on my desk at work in a frame that says, "The very best of sisters". In the photo, taken well over two years ago, they are embracing, face to face.
When others see this photo, they remark at the absolute cuteness of it. They'll also ask, "Are your daughters really that close?"
Yes. Yes they are.
As a working single mother whose tasks far outnumber the hours in the day, my daughters have had to entertain each other, work things out together, fight and play together. Most of the time that they have problems that need solved - little things like opening the jar of peanut butter or big things like how to handle girl drama - I beg them to rely on each other.
I used to joke with Rose, when Grace was just a baby, that I had her sister just for her, so that she could have a playmate.
I think I've also mentioned that Rose knew that I was pregnant with Grace long before I took a pregnancy test to confirm. One day, my sweet 2-year old approached me, quite non-chalantly, and announced, "Mommy, you have a sister in your belly."
And thus their connection was made.
When Gentleman Jack was over with his boys, I noticed my daughters leaning on each other, supporting each other, having each others' back. Jack even remarked that the girls were conniving against the boys. They kept a united front. They didn't fight at all.
I see this at their preschool/daycare that they'll be attending all summer. Even though they have different classes and different friends, at the end of the day, when they're the last few there, they play together like old friends.
I wonder if they'll be those sisters who fight with each other, challenge each other, give each other grief, but don't you dare step in to cause strife. They will more than likely pair up and take you down.
I love how they love and support each other. Sisterhood is one of the beautiful things in life that I have been fortunate to experience. Sadly, my sister and I are on the outs as she struggles through her divorce and personal battles.
I feel a little disconnected. I feel like I'm not okay because "we don't have each other." I can only assume she feels the same way.
I hope that changes soon. Until then, I'm going to enjoy the beautiful friendship I see developing right before my eyes.
Thanks to Jolene for inspiring this with her own "sisters" post.

I have 2 sisters. One who is 3 years younger and one who is 16 years younger. Growing up my closer in age sister and I fought all the time. I believe that we were frustrated with our home situation (which if you read my blog you'd know was horrible) and took it out on each other. As a result we've not been very close. We've been critical of each other. The sister 16 years younger than me is in college now and we really are close. I try not to burden her with my divorce and worries, but I talk about pretty much everything else wtih her and she talks with me. I enjoy her so much. Now my other sister and I have just recently started trying to get along better. Just today I told her that I like what is happening between us and hope we can only grow closer. Siblings are a wonderful thing. I hope my daughters learn that soon. My oldest almost hates her little sister while her little sister looks up to her as if she were a goddess. She worships her.
ReplyDeleteI love how close my girls are, too. I missed out on that myself. I have 3 sisters, but there's a huge age gap in my family, and they're so much older than me that it was more like having 3 extra mothers rather than 3 sisters.
I always tell my girls to feel grateful that they have a sister - they will always have each other to lean on. :)awwwwww
I always wanted a brother or sister but I am an only child so I I told myself that I when I had kids, I wanted to two.
I got my boys, and boy do they fight but I am trying to teach them how to solve the conflicts between themselves and it is hard sometimes.
But I am glad your girls have such a wonderful relationship. I hope the relationship between your sister and you is on the mend soon.
I'll take ya as my adopted sister, :).I don't have a sister and neither does my Monkeyface. I am an only child, and she functions as one. The idea of siblings is foreign to me, but the concept of family is not. I stand by my comment last week that they learned the art of family from you, and I think this is evidence that you are doing a marvelous job! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughters have quite a different dynamic than yours. The older 3 - all 3 years apart - sort of have a love/hate relationship with each other. I wouldn't say they get along as much as tolerate each other but it hasn't been or isn't always this way. I've seen their relationships take many forms as they've grown. The bond with LO is different with all of them too. It's never boring around here though!
ReplyDeleteI think this has a lot to do with coming from a divorced home.
As much as mine fight they are incredible close and actually do not cope too well when seperated.
Plane Boy and his brother also grew up in turbulent times and are exceptionally close as brothers go.
Divorce seems to be the tie that binds them and it binds them tightly!I'm a single child. I never had to deal with a brother or sister. So raising sisters has been a tad bit foreign to me.
My girls are 14 months apart, and they are very close. Claire is wild and crazy when Skylar is around.. when Skylar isn't where Claire is, Claire becomes very quiet and withdrawn. When Claire is gone and it's just Skylar, Skylar will constantly talk about how much she misses her little sister.
When Skylar starts school later this year, I don't know how Claire is going to handle it.As the single mom of four girls I can totally relate! My girls have to depend on each other for some things because there just isn't enough of of me to go around.
Even though they have seperate rooms they frequently sleep together all snuggled up. The older ones look after the younger ones.
They are a united front at all times, and rarely fight. I love this about them.You girls who have sisters are so lucky :) I always wanted a sister, but alas I got "stuck" with brothers instead. Luckily though, I have a cousin who is like a sister to me, and so many fabulous girlfriends... still though, I imagine it's not quite the same. I hope I have more than one daughter, so they can enjoy the bonds of sisterhood.

School Lunch in Minnesota Schools
A recent report released by Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid revealed that 46 Minnesota school districts have policies that deny students access to a nutritious lunch, if those students do not have sufficient funds to pay for their meal. Another 166 Minnesota school districts provide low-income students alternative meals, such as a cold cheese sandwich, when they are unable to pay the 40-cent copay required for a reduced-price hot lunch. According to the survey, Eden Valley-Watkins and another 96 Minnesota school districts (approximately 31 percent) will always provide a full menu-of-the-day hot lunch to a low-income child even if the child cannot afford the fee.
I can assure you, NO Eden Valley-Watkins student will experience the humiliation that takes place when a tray of food is pulled away in front of their peers, and then thrown in the garbage. We have a long-standing practice of providing a hot lunch to ALL students, regardless their qualifications for free, reduced, or full price meals. This does require more effort and accounting from our Food Service staff as well as effective and timely communication with families to get bills paid in a timely fashion. We believe a well-nourished child is better equipped for the demands of a rigorous day of instruction, and demonstrates heightened levels of engagement, concentration, and endured focus. Let's continue to work together and invest in our children for a brighter future.
Kindergarten Roundup
Don't forget kindergarten roundup on Monday, March 4, at the following times;
10-11 a.m. Watkins Elem.
7-8 p.m. Eden Valley Elem.
The roundup will include an informational session with the parents and a get-acquainted session for the children. If you have friends, neighbors, or relatives with eligible kindergarten students, tell them that Eden Valley-Watkins Elementary School would love to be their education provider. If you are on our census list, you should receive a letter from the elementary office explaining kindergarten roundup in greater detail. If you have not received a letter or have any questions regarding kindergarten roundup, please call the elementary office at (320) 453-6455, ext. 2134.
Census information requested:
If you're new to the district or recently had an addition to your family, please let us know.
Senior of the Week
The EV-W School District would like to recognize Ashley Huschle, daughter of Troy and Lindsay. Ashley admires her Grandma, Doris Thielen for her positive outlook on life. Ashley is currently enrolled in two college-level courses, actively involved with FFA as an officer, and competes on our state-caliber softball team. She's outgoing, shares a positive attitude, and always shows her smile. The EV-W administration, faculty and staff are extremely proud of your accomplishments. Congratulations!

Order on Beatport: http://bit.ly/WDYG-TomFall
"Where Did You Go" is the latest collaborative effort from Morgan Page that finds him teaming up with House impresario, Andy Caldwell, and vocal sensation Jonathan Mendelsohn.
Page and Caldwell, both renowned for their skills in combining the right balance of lyrical elements with dance-floor finesse, found the ideal collaborator in Jonathan Mendelsohn, who produced his own vocals for this track. On the remix, Tom Fall then takes the track to a whole new level; remixing it into an Electo-tinged Progressive House anthem that slaps you squarely over the head.

Multilateralism and the World Trade Organisation
The demonstrations that accompanied the World Trade Organisation's (WTO's) Third Ministerial Meeting in Seattle in late 1999, offered many the first glimpse of this organisation. Yet they also drew attention to a growing tide of criticism being levelled at the WTO for a perceived lack of environmental and developmental sensitivity, as well as a disregard for the rights of workers.
This book explores the significance of the establishment of the WTO, as well as some of the issues brought into sharper focus by the Seattle demonstrations. Located within the broader study of global governance, Multilateralism and the World Trade Organisation offers a critical examination of the legal framework of the WTO. It looks at the evolution of international trade regulation, tracing the historical background of the WTO from its beginnings in the post-war settlement.
Rorden Wilkinson goes on to formulate a conception of multilateralism as a prism through which the WTO's legal framework is studied. In so doing, he argues that the use of a conception of multilateralism reveals a series of discriminatory practices embedded in the WTO's legal framework, which act to the disadvantage of smaller, developing and transitional states.

Private (A Private Novel: #1)
The police can't help you
Former CIA agent Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily--and his staff of investigators uses the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.
The press will destroy you
Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multi-million dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of 18 schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.
Only one place to turn: Private
But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, Morgan has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans. With a plot that moves at death-defying speeds, Private is James Patterson sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.

1 . Disappointed
Posted February 12, 2012 by Ruby , Bowling Green
I'm a very dedicated James Patterson fan. I've read anything he writes, but this one I was really disappointed in. Maybe I was expecting it to be like his other books, who knows. I can't believe I actually read the whole thing. Story jumped around too much, it did not hold my interest. -
2 . Good ideas, too many threads and not enough time to spend on them.
Posted April 23, 2011 by RCFlora , San Diego
I liked the idea of this book, obviously as I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't. The idea and characters at the firm Private offer a great vehicle for some great story lines. I think there is great potential there, but there were just too many things going on, too many plot lines, too much throw away "drama" and not enough depth and development of any of them. Each was resolved too easily. It all seemed rushed and sloppy. Probably because the end of the book was coming up way to fast. I ended up not caring how any of it resolved. -
3 . What happened?
Posted October 17, 2010 by Marylou , NJ
I love James Patterson but this one left me wondering why I bothered buying it -
4 . Contrived - Seemed Like A Soap
Posted August 23, 2010 by bill , Manhattan Beach
Seemed like blend of "james bond character & technology" meets "day's of our lives / soap" characters. If it was meant to be "camp" that might have been cool. Don't think it was. Weak effort - kind of like the Lifetime movies a few years back - simple & kinda stupid. -
5 . I loved it... could not put it down!

I have read the negative reviews on this book, but I have to say that I really liked it. I found I did not want to put it down once I started reading. My one complaint is that there were so many characters that none got really developed properly, so it seemed more like setting a series up. I do hope there are more Jack Morgan novels to come. -
6 . Where's James Patterson?
Posted August 04, 2010 by Julie , Findlay
I'm not sure James Patterson had anything to do with this book. The writing was poor, the characters dull, the dialogue elemetary at best. There wasn't one person in the book who was interesting and the plots weren't well executed. This book seems to have been written by someone very inexperienced and young. This may be the last James Patterson book I ever read. -
7 . Don't bother
Posted August 03, 2010 by William Lonergan , Medford, MA
Patterson must have taken his boilerplate and written this in a wekend. The story is completely beyond belief. I'm afraid with all his new "co-authors" Patterson is just resting on his laurels from his past successes. -
8 . A weak effort for Patterson
Posted August 01, 2010 by Joseph R , \Dallas
We all know James Patterson is a very gifted writer. This book is further evidence that he has spread himslf too thin in an effort to turn out a deluge of titles by enlisting several co-authors. The Patterson genious for tight plotting is noiwhere in evideence here. There are ao many subplots that the reader is left wondering what is he focus of the story. A whole cast of new characters is presented in what is obviously a "pilot" for a new series but I didn't find a real protagonist that grabbed me among them. I wish Patterson would go back to working alone and turning out one qualitty book every year or two instead of flooding us with mediocre efforts. -

Was very hard to put down! It is a great beach read if you do not intend on going into the water! Very excited for his next book Postcard. -
10 . Loved It
Posted July 19, 2010 by Cindy , Beaumont
Absolutely couldn't put this book down. It was interesting and had enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge and wondering what the next page would bring about. The characters are vivid and enjoyable.

Stephen Henderson looks at the whole saga of Rangers FC and asks what got them into the financial mess they're in.
Ignore the Tory spin – pension liabilities and the NHS are affordable
Statistics out today show the NHS and public sector pensions are entirely affordable, contrary to what George Osborne and the Conservatives are spinning.
The crazy economics of reducing foreign student visas
A major cut in non-EU student visas is going to hurt universities but it's going to hurt the UK economy even more, writes Stephen Henderson, a researcher at the UCL Cancer Institute.
Decentralisation of NHS cancer services already well underway
There has been apprehension at plans for a revolutionary decentralisation of NHS management, yet for NHS cancer services a similar experiment is well underway.
The coalition's cancer muddle
Previously when a cancer drug was put to NICE for appraisal there was a strong incentive for the drug company to offer a decent NHS-wide price that might be accepted as value for money. Indeed NHS drug prices are generally very competitive.
Localism or a postcode lottery?
The 'bonfire of quangos' may or may not lead to centralisation or deregulation depending on circumstance.
Britain second only to US in terms of academic research
With forthcoming cuts to research and possible restrictions on the entry of foreign students today's world university Rankings are very timely.

[JURIST] The Chinese government on Sunday blocked Internet users in the country from accessing the video-sharing website YouTube [corporate website] after videos of a recent government crackdown [YouTube video] on Tibetan protesters challenging Chinese rule were posted on the site. The protests [BBC backgrounder] over degradation of Tibetan culture and a flood of new Chinese immigrants into the region escalated into violence in the capital Lhasa on Friday with reports that as many as 80 protesters had been killed. Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama [personal website] on Sunday deplored [press release] the use of violence by both the protesters and the government, but said that the region is facing "cultural genocide". In an earlier statement [text] he wrote:
For nearly six decades, Tibetans in the whole of Tibet known as Cholkha-Sum (U-Tsang, Kham and Amdo) have had to live in a state of constant fear, intimidation and suspicion under Chinese repression...In Tibet today, due to the Chinese government's numerous actions, driven as they are by a lack of foresight, the natural environment has been severely damaged. And, as a result of their policy of population transfer the non-Tibetan population has increased many times, reducing native Tibetans to an insignificant minority in their own country. Moreover, the language, customs and traditions of Tibet, which reflect the true nature and identity of the Tibetan people are gradually fading away. As a consequence, Tibetans are increasingly being assimilated into the larger Chinese population. In Tibet, repression continues to increase with numerous, unimaginable and gross violations of human rights, denial of religious freedom and the politicisation of religious issues. All these take place as a result of the Chinese government's lack of respect for the Tibetan people. These are major obstacles the Chinese government deliberately puts in the way of its policy of unifying nationalities which discriminate between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples. Therefore, I urge the Chinese government to bring an immediate halt to such policies.

Tim Gunn replaces Jennifer Lopez as guest judge for Project Runway 5's finale
Minutes ago, Project Runway 5's final six designers Jerrell, Suede, Joe, Kenley, Korto finished presenting their collections at Fashion Week in front of an audience that included surprise guest judge Tim Gunn, as guest judge Jennifer Lopez could not attend.
Jezebel is live blogging the show, and reports that Heidi Klum announced "Jennifer Lopez had a foot inury so she could not be here."
Bravo is Twittering the show live, and confirmed that Tim is the new guest judge. And after the show, mentor turned judge Tim Gunn said on the feed, "This was a great show! One of the better ones." So is there a slight—or major—problem with fairness, since, as he always does, Tim probably visited them as they worked and gave advice?
Anyway, the network's reports include occasional pictures, although not of the clothes, which should be posted here and elsewhere later today. It does include some information about their collections, though, like the fact that Kenley's was inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
Meanwhile, Project Runway 4 winner Christian Siriano presented a collection Thursday night. His "standout pieces were his tiered chiffon gowns that spiraled around the body in shades of gray with chartreuse accents," and "The audience erupted in applause before Mr. Siriano even emerged to take his runway bow," the Wall Street Journal reported.
Update: Tim told inTouch, "I am really thrilled about judging. All I know is that I was called at the last minute this morning. No one was more surprised than I! I thought, 'Okay, let's make it work."" And Heidi Klum said, "We didn't have any time. We were really excited to have Jennifer Lopez because I think she is such a beautiful woman with amazing style. We were really sad. Tim is perfect. He has such a huge fan base and is so knowledgeable."

Paizo Pathfinder® Paizo Games |

Just finishing playing a life oracle. I don't want the others to get used to thinking of me as a heal or buff bot. Or even just a super nice lovable guy. So I'm thinking an offensively-aggressive witch. No healing hex or buff patrons. Any buffs I learn would be personal only for just me and my familiar. Hexes are to hurt the bad guy not buff an ally. Also, we are using the optional hero point rules. So I am taking all the hero point options I can get. I think I can tank my wisdom and still be ok by using the plethora of hero points to make the critical saves. 20 Point Buy
1 Hero's Fortune (can have more hero points)
What do you guys think?
I forgot to mention. Our campaigns don't have fully stocked magic item shops and it is sometimes difficult to get someone to build something high powered to our specifications. We can't necessarily plan on very specific magic items to make the build. So any 'needed' abilities have to come from the PC not the items. Unless of course he has the capability to make them. (We don't usually take crafting other than scrolls, potions, and maybe wands.) That's why I was looking at casters to get the proper magic effects. ----------------------------------------------------------- Sodapop wrote: If you pick up the feat Equipment Trick (Rope) and the trait Prehensile Whip you can use any rope (Spider-Silk Rope for bonus spiderman points) as if it had a grappling hook attached, as well as to save people from falling, to save yourself from falling, and to entangle enemies from a distance. If you cut out the trait you can still do all of that minus using it as if it had a grappling hook attached (you could just buy a grappling hook after all)... I love this! I had totally forgotten about the PFS equipment tricks. ------------------------------------------------------------ I guess I hadn't seriously considered Monk. Compared to other heroes he wasn't especially great at unarmed combat (other than the strength of course). And I didn't think of his stories as showing him being particularly wise. He was intelligent but I would have rated his charisma and wisdom both as average or maybe even a dump stat. -------------------------------------------------------------- nate lange wrote:
I've never run an alchemist. I did not remember that they had a tanglefoot bomb. That does fit very well. -------------------------------------------------------------- Fastmover wrote: I would go with Magus and use the spells Alarm, Web, Force Hook Charge, Spider Climb. I always think of magus as scimitar-shocking grasp default. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember that they can prep utility spells. Plus they could use the arcana to gain some more. Not sure they get enough each day to really seem like spiderman all the time, but it is definitely worth looking at.--------------------------------------------------------------- Ninja tricks and rogue talents can get some of the effects. But I didn't think it would be for enough of the day to really give the spider man feel. But maybe I'm wrong about that. And trap spotter really does work as the 'spidey sense.'
A friend of mine wants to know how to make a PC that plays like spider man. I'm thinking you would want unarmed brawler / sage sorcerer / eldritch knight.
You wouldn't want many different spells, but you would want them over and over. (Spider climb, bulls strength, web, ect...) He was intelligent but not necessarily a strong personality. I'm not sure how to do the 'spider sense' thing except alertness, and things to raise his initiative score. But maybe a foresight specialist wizard instead of the sage sorc. Any other ideas? How would you do it?
calagnar wrote: It will probably depend upon my experiences by the time I can afford it. If I keep running out of channels and/or they keep making their saves, then yeah I will go for the charisma. If I want to throw them further, do more damage, or have large buff/debuff effects I will take the channeling.
FlySkyHigh wrote: ... El Cubano: you can choose whether or not to use variant channeling with each use of your channel energy ability. So if you wanted to shunt people around, you could just turn off your variant for a moment, then put it back up when you want to buff/debuff. Quote: When you create a cleric character, decide whether she uses the standard form of channel energy or a variant presented here based on one aspect of her deity's portfolio. Once this choice is made, it cannot be altered. I don't think you can switch it on and off like that.
El Cubano wrote: I guess as a side note, how would the variant channeling interact with the channel force? I ask because channel force works in increments of 2d6, and the variant channeling reduces the amount by half. Would that affect the distance enemies would be pushed as well? I don't think so. But I wouldn't argue it if the GM wanted to rule that way. My reasoning is from this: partial quote from the PRD wrote:
To me the bolded sections imply that the cleric has the full channeling listed in the table (ie 4d6 for a 7th level cleric). So he would get the full force effect of the channel. But the target would only take half the damage. But, like I said, I wouldn't fight it if the GM decides the other way. I would still get the buff/debuff and the force effect.
calagnar wrote:
Not trying to do significant damage or healing with the channel. It is merely the vehicle to throw people around and apply an area debuff or area buff. PFS seems to have lots of single opponent fights so the area part of the debuff isn't as good as it could be. But then again, until 7th level the forced movement will only effect a single opponent. Plus I will definitely be getting a phylactery of channeling (I'm not sure if positive or negative) as soon as I can afford it. I really considered using the life oracle, but that ends up being very close to the undead blasting life oracle I'm currently playing in my home game. I think I need something different to really enjoy the character.
Considering a new PFS character. I have a feeling with season 5's theme I will be seeing lots of paladin's so I don't want to do that. But was looking at kinda similar theme. Here's what I'm thinking. A channeling focused cleric. Not to do or heal damage but for the force and variant effects. Spell casting would primarily be buffs. Opinions on the following:
1 feat: selective channel
MrSin wrote: Well, that's kinda what I'm thinking. The bio-suit makes it so you don't have nearly as much need for things like toughness, dodge, improved initiative. So you have the build space for things like improved spell focus, bouncing spell, and/or persistent spell. --------------------------------------------------------- Ok, if I were to go Samsaran with Mystic Past Life (with the max 18 charisma) I would be able to add any 5 arcane spells to my allowed list to be learned. What do you think would be the very best ones to learn? Not absolutely required, but if they have a save, it would be better if they are the same school to get the most out of Spell Focus. Hmm... Or should I be going for no save spells like magic missile and acid arrow? Some of the ones that come to my mind are:
Orfamay Quest wrote: That's the standard use of a synthesis summoner, and probably what the designers had in mind... Every one I've seen has been a melee monster build. with just enough cha to cast melee buffs. Have you really seen one tried as a primary offensive caster? How did it work out in use? Artanthos wrote: Well, I understand your point. But, in the last 3 AP's (haven't finished the 3rd yet) I have seen 1 anti-magic field and the write-up had that so badly positioned it had almost no affect since the PC's didn't actually have to enter the area and could clearly tell where it was. I think that if any summoner hit an antimagic field, he would pretty much just be trying to run away. Also that example was the extreme limit. I probably wouldn't really dump con I would just leave it at 10. That low of HP just scares me.
I am sure this is not a new idea, but what I am thinking doesn't quite match what I've been able to find. Synthesist Summoner using the eidolon as a biosuit so he can dump all the physical stats and pump all the mental stats. Then function as a primary caster and either secondary melee or secondary missile fire.
What do you think? Has it already been tried and failed?
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
Friend Varrel, Sir Asherick, and Lady Una (even you little Majenko) self has somber news. Old priest what bought Gronk and spake unto him the glorious news of Groteus coming be dying.
With that, the ugly man strides off to meet with his mentor one last time.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
There has been a serious shakeup at work. I'm not going to have any spare time for the foreseeable future. Also, I did most of my posting during down time at work. No way I'm going to be getting away with that anymore.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
Sorry, I am working hell long hours this week. Go ahead and just count me as neutral after voting for the transmuter wizard.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
My first choice would probably be the Wizard. A straight wizard with a decent book is a powerful addition if we can give him time to prepare and enough info to make the right choices. Though I have not problem with him wanting to go EK I don't see that as losing all that much spell capability and definitely increases his survivability. My second choice would probably be any of the bards. But I have to admit, I am partial to spellcasters and tend to not give as serious of consideration to straight non-casters like barb, rogue, and fighters. Though I must admit I have been considering a lore warden for a home game to get me out of my habits.

Hmmm... If I was trying to run a conspiracy, this would be a delightful place to find out what the competition was up to. Gronk looks around carefully so see evidence of a magical sensor or maybe spy hole in the Marshal's office. perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 , and he manages to locate the walls.

As I recall:

Gronk steps forward to give the creature the 3 trail rations that he has with him. All self has now. Your need greater. Try make life better you and yours. Not hurt others without cause. -------------------------------------------------- Gronk turns to Una.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
I believe Ashe was the only one injured for 14 points. Correct me if I'm wrong. I will convert my magic weapon and protection from evil spells to cure light wounds to heal him.
Gronk uses the power of Groteus to heal Ashe then keeps searching with the others.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
"...2 vials of a nasty greenish-yellow liquid (perhaps a poision?)
I wouldn't mind the masterwork silver dagger if no one else wants it. I don't use weapons much, But it would be reasonable to have a silver one. We might be able to find a use for the eversmoking bottle. Guys that try to get in weapon combat could probably make better use of the potions than me. Or possibly the sorc if worried about being targeted. But if no one else wants, I would take rather than sell. I have no particular use for any of the rest of it. So if you can sell for a reasonable income, go for it.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
Self be checking body for plague. Self know not if such these can suffer plague. Gronk spends a few moments examining Girrigz's remains to see if there are any signs he had contracted the plague.
If it had the plague, mayhap I should burn the body and head. We could always mount the skull. If he find nothing he will help the others search both rooms with magic (cast detect magic and detect poison) and physically looking.

Megan, did the earth elementals strike of 25 hit? If I could place it where it would get a flanking bonus it would be a 27 to hit. Also, I just realized I didn't roll an attack for the Ray of Sickening. That follows (with -4 for into melee):

Round 2 on Gronk's initiative.
A small roughly humanoid lump of dirt rises up behind Girrigz. It immediately swings a stony fist at the wererat's back.
Gronk continues to call on the power of Groteus, Brániť božský je choroba!
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
Megan Robertson wrote: ... Yes, I read enough Slovak to understand that... used to do the same thing with one DM who liked incantations to be said, only in my native tongue, Welsh! As far as I know, never met anyone that read any Slovak before. I just put something in google translate and pick languages until I get something that looks properly bizzare. Slovak has worked the last couple of times. I don't make any attempt to do anything like that for in-person games though.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
I thought the history of heresy trait went well with the back story since worshiping Groteus is pretty heretical for an orc (well, for anyone actually). But you can't do that with a divine caster class. Do you want me to pick a different faith trait (prob birthmark or indomitable faith) or stick with it anyway?
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
initative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Staying behind Ashe, Gronk begins to call on the power of Groteus to provide allies. Prineste služobníkov ku mne! Begin casting Summon Monster II. Won't be complete until just before my next turn.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
I don't know that the one failing to stab me actually surrendered. If it did not, I will go full defensive and direct the summoned flail to not attack this round to give it another chance to surrender. All die, but it need not be this night for you.
Half-Orc Cleric 6 of Groteus AC 21/ f f20/ t11, HP 38/38, F8/R4/W11
The divine glowing flail continues to strike at the wererat.
That's better! Gronk again prepares to use Groteus' power to cloud the mind of any enemy that comes within reach. Readied action to use vision of madness on the enemy if they come within range (+2 skills, -2 on saves and attacks).

It was not uncommon to see planted fields underwater just a few months ago. June 2013 was among the wettest on record for many areas, and at that time, we joined the chorus of agronomists and soil specialists advising that the result may be significant N loss. I hit the road and took some photos of waterlogged fields. In one of these, the water was so deep a deer had become stranded in the middle and was struggling with its head just above water, just like the plants themselves.
I revisited those same fields today to see how they look, now that drought is creeping back into the discussion and overconfidence in corn futures depresses crop prices. These fields, despite having been deeply flooded, have recovered nicely. I have included a few before and after shots below...

Richard Davenport is a recruiting columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Hedlund ready for next level
Kicker Cole Hedlund, an Arkansas commitment, is expected to take over kicking duties for Hogs next year.
Arkansas will have one of the more decorated kicking prospects in recent memory kicking for them next season.
Cole Hedlund, 5-10, 170 pounds of Argyle, Texas holds the national record for career field goals with 56 and the national record of 25 field goals in season he set as a sophomore. He has the mental makeup to succeed in the SEC.
"Just remember he set the national record when he was 15 years," Argyle Coach Todd Rogers said. "He has an older brother is a second child. He's tough and resilient. He's always played soccer with older kids so he knows how to compete with an older clientele. He understands if he gets after and plays hard everything is going work out alright that's kind of his attitude."
Hedlund, who was named a USA Today All American, made 24 of 32 this past season and was perfect on 103 extra points. He's expected to take over kicking duties for the Razorbacks next season with the departure of Zach Hocker.
Rogers was able to interact with Coach Bret Bielema and defensive line and specialists Rory Segrest when the two visited the school last Tuesday. Beilema impressed with his down-to-earth approach.
"He had a lot of interest in how we operate and Texas high school football," Rogers said. "We're fortunate enough to just win the state championship. He was inquisitive about the six games to the championship and talking about the grind. We talked to little bit about recruiting and his philosophy on the athletes he's taking in every year and what he looks for."
Rogers also had kind words about Segrest.
"Classy guy, great to have a conversation with him," Rogers said. "I see why he's being successful He's really easy to talk to. Cole was initially recruited by Coach Partridge and then coach Segrest comes in. I just think he's got a good disposition and is the kind of guy that Cole's looking for."

I did the first two workouts of the above plan and have to say I like the change. I tried 4-5 sets of each exercise on day one to get a feel of where I am @ 15-20 reps. It worked out pretty good. By the fourth or fifth set I was at a weight that really challenged me to get 5-6 reps.
Going into the second day and not having so much as looked at my legs in the past 3 months I started real light and only planned on doing 3 sets regardless of the reps. But, I did increase the weight with each set. I think my legs will be sore for a month as they were jelly when I finished. I was totally relying on bone on bone balance to wobble out of the gym.
My prior workout plan I had been dropping weight on the last set for a burnout set, usually set #5. I shot for 8-12 reps every set and I never thought of doing more than 12 reps except on the last set. I hardly ever did legs and I had been doing a back/bis, chest/tris, and shoulder type of workout rotation with some cardio thrown in from time to time. I was keeping it at 5-6 exercises a session, 2-3 exercises a body part.
Just wanted to share (IOW: bored out of my skull). Comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated.

Photo: Check Out What Appear to Be Penn State's 2013 Home Uniforms
May 24, 2013, 2:08 PM EDT
There was an uproar last year when then-first-year head coach Bill O'Brien decided Penn State players' names would be put on the backs of their jerseys as a way to honor those who remained with the program following the horrors of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The jerseys looked fine, Penn State won eight of its last 10 and we even got this picture, which we wouldn't have otherwise.
In another update to the look, Lions-Pride.com on Friday posted on Facebook that the replica jersey seen above, featuring the Nittany Lion logo on the collar, is now on sale.
When asked on Facebook, the Lions-Pride account confirmed: "the lion logo will be on the actual game jersey."
The Lions-Pride website went down for a while shortly after we saw the image. Traffic issues perhaps?
Anyway, like it? Dislike it?
This is most intriguing:
RT @faniversity: @kevinoncfb That program has undergone so much change in the last 24 months, they might as well go full Pro Combat now.

- psudrozz - May 25, 2013 at 9:17 AM
first, they came for the white border, and i didn't speak out because my jersey did not have a white border.
when they added names to the back of the jersey, and I didn't speak out because all my other jerseys had names on them.
when they put the woodchuck head on the jersey….
- psudrozz - May 25, 2013 at 9:18 AM
- philsfan1 - May 26, 2013 at 12:48 PM
So what!!! The names should be on the backs anyway. After feeling like they were only a number, it must be great to finally see their name on that not so great back of the jersey.Get over it people. Times change.Adjust or get out of the kitchen. I would even add a logo on the helmets and go to white shoes. I'd even wear pink for breast cancer research in October. Paterno never did that.
- Kunk - May 28, 2013 at 10:52 AM
I agree. Paterno hated cancer research. What a jerk.
- Skifast! - May 27, 2013 at 3:43 PM
All I ask for is the names to be kept on the jerseys. I can't tell you how much easier it made for identifying who is who, especially when backups come in in the second half.
- Robby Bonfire - Aug 14, 2013 at 9:52 PM
It would look great if they would add the logo they have on the jersey, to both sides of the helmet. Why hasn't anyone at PSU thought of this?

: Well, you knew they couldn't stay apart forever. MediaTakeOut.com learned that YESTERDAY Rihanna visited Chris Brown at his anger management clinic - outside Los Angeles.
We even got a pic of Rihanna trying to RUN AWAY from our tipster.
Developing. Video to come . . .
She's been snooping around in LA for a few days now, looking all sad and ***. When will this crazy stalker let go of him? She doesn't mind looking like a pathetic loser over a man at all. @IwasEmbarrassedToDat eSomeoneLikethat. @HeHadNoSoulInHisEyes (who would after being beat in the head with a shoe).
No they ain't getting back together. I hope not. Hopefully, he called her and asked her to come out and see him and he had a heartfelt apology for her and that was it. He is in a relationship with old a ss looking Karate Tran and it needs to stay that way. Rhianna needs to tell that dude to keep steppin.
