Professor Johnny Sins is always getting in trouble with the Dean for fucking every young slut he can get his hands on, so he was doing his best to be subtle when he met Chase Ryder in the bathroom for a quickie. But when the stall door opened and none other than Dean Simone Sonay was standing there, watching him get his fat cock sucked by a student, he knew he was in for it. Luckily for Chase and Johnny, though, Dean Sonay is a busty MILF slut with a passion for hands-on education! She put her experience to use, instructing Chase in the best way to suck a dick, lick a pussy, and take a pounding from a massive hard cock! To show her appreciation for the lessons, Chase shared the load of jizz that Johnny gave her, and the two sluts swapped that cum right in the Dean's office!
Madison Ivy – Madison Ivy Likes Her Meat
Everyone knows March 14 is every guy's turn to get lucky. Famous chef Madison Ivy celebrated Steak and a Blowjob Day with her tits out and her lusts raging. She was cooking up a hunk of prime beef, and since her husband doesn't have a taste for meat, she invited her cameraman over to pork her in the kitchen. She jumped on the counter with her face down, ass up, and told Brick to enjoy a wet slice of that tight pussy. Madison stuffed her mouth with Brick's fat cock, and sucked him a handful of different ways with her expert oral skills. Then she bent over to get fucked until he sprayed down her face with the special sauce.

She was hesitant to try fucking a woman at first, but once she got an eyefull of summer's big tits and Breanne's juicy bubble butt, she had to give ladies a try. Summer and Breanne tore the dress right off of her big tits and started rubbing her pussy. The slutty couple licked, fingered, and used their favorite dildo on Romi until she was screaming with pleasure and cumming hard. Once she had finally gotten a taste of some good pussy, Romi did what she could to return the favor, making sure Summer and Breanne both came just as hard as she did!

What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology applies scientific and engineering principles to make new materials and observe structures by controlling matter on the nanoscale. That is the scale of atoms -- one billionth of a meter. That means that a nanometer is about 8,000 times smaller than the average human red blood cell and about 25,000 times smaller than the thickness of an average human hair.
Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field involving chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and engineering to create technical advances across multiple fields. These innovations include advances in semiconductors, batteries, sunscreen, medical devices and therapies, solar cells, LED displays, and many other technologies. Check out NOVA's August 2013 "Making Stuff: Smaller" episode for several recent applications of nano in medicine and electronics.

Maloja RosaM. Women's Pullover Hoodie $0.00
Post ride comfort and warmth by the campfire.
The day is done, and you're retelling stories of the day's ride by the campfire with your friends. Stories of endos, views from vistas, and treacherous trails make their way into the conversation. The only way that this night can get any better is if you slip out of your jersey and into the Maloja RosaM. Women's Pullover Hoodie to casually relax. And while you describe the view of the desert from the Monitor and Merrimack trail, the only chills that you'll get are ones from the awe inspiring beauty that you spent the day riding through.
Made from four-way stretch micro fleece, the RosaM. is the perfect mid-level insulation companion for cool evenings and mornings. The flower pattern across the front adds just enough style for you to wear the RosaM. out to your favorite post ride watering hole. And with a tall collar and hood, cool breezes don't stand a chance of sneaking in while you sip drinks on the patio. A single zip pocket on the front keeps your wallet stashed away during trips to the store.
The Maloja RosaM. Women's Pullover Hoodie is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Pine, Granat, Blue Steel, Rose, and Moonless.

I wish backcountry still stocked this range, it's such great stuff. I love this top. Wear it all the time, to school, riding and for after a hike. It's cute as well as functional. Warm and has a cosy feel with the sort of brushed fabric inside. Great colour - the green - too.
love the feel of this shirt

I really love the feel of this shirt. It is fun & different & stylish. I did not like the pink, it had a lavender-ish hue that did not work for me. I would have loved the color in the picture. I am going to try the blue & see if that color works as I do like the hoodie. It's unique. It ran a bit large for me. I am going to try a size down this time.

Mr. LeVar BurtonJune 21, 2006
STATEMENT OF "The Analog Hole: Can Congress Protect Copyright and Promote Innovation?" June 21, 2006 Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy and Committee members, my name is LeVar Burton and I thank you for inviting me to appear before you today to discuss the problem posed by the technology gap known as the analog hole and its impact on the creative community. I am here today on behalf of the Directors Guild of America (DGA), of which I am a National Board member. I know there are others testifying who will speak to the technical and related issues on the analog hole. I hope today I can provide the "voice" for those of us who make films and televisions programs and who are directly impacted by the kind of piracy the analog hole makes possible. Founded in 1936 by the most prominent directors of the period (including King Vidor, John Ford, and Howard Hawks), the Directors Guild today represents over 13,500 directors and members of the directorial team who work in feature film, television, commercials, documentaries and news. The DGA's mission is to protect the economic and creative rights of directors and the directorial team -- working to advance our artistic freedom and ensure fair compensation for our work. Film is truly an indigenous American art form, and the work of filmmakers -- in collaboration with other creative artists in our industry - has documented, reflected upon and portrayed the American experience for almost 100 years. Motion pictures played a very unique role in popular culture during the 20th Century -- and they continue to be enjoyed daily by billions of people around the world. Those of us who work in film feel lucky and privileged to earn our living contributing our talents to a craft we love. The process that goes into making a film is understandably unknown to those outside our industry. During the making of a film, directors are actually running a multi-million dollar business--a business involving hundreds of people and a myriad of details and decisions that have to made each day to keep the production on schedule and on budget. Whether it is the crafting of a single scene or the visual creation of a character from the written page, the director is always working to tell the story. This is not an effort we take lightly--it is not uncommon for a director to put years of work into one production. It is exactly because of what we do that I am here today. DGA places the highest priority on the prevention of widespread pirating of movies, television programs and other creative works. Indeed, the entire film production industry - from studios, to independent production companies, directors, writers, actors, and the tens of thousands of below-the-line workers, both skilled and unskilled - has a tremendous stake in the ever-growing problem of piracy. One handicap our industry--and directors who work in it--face when we discuss piracy is a fundamental lack of understanding of who we really are. It is an attitude born out of "People magazine"-like stories and the box office receipts which every paper in the country now seems to publish. When the film industry is mentioned, what first and foremost comes to people's mind is the popular image of the glitz, glamour, and wealth of Hollywood. The reality, however, is very different. Yes, our industry is concentrated in Los Angeles and New York, but in fact the film industry exists in every state in the country. Yes, there are some stars known the world over who are fabulously wealthy. But in fact, most of the directors and others who work in our industry are unknown to the public. We work behind the camera. And the overwhelming majority of jobs in our industry are held by what we call "below-the-line" workers - the people whose names scroll by at the conclusion of a film - including such jobs as set designers, carpenters, sound technicians, set painters, drivers, foley artists, lighting technicians, make-up artists, seamstresses, and so many other jobs, often amounting to hundreds of workers on a film. They are no different than workers in other industries whose jobs are understandably important to Members of Congress. And those are just the employees of the production company. The filming of a movie and a TV program also generates substantial employment for scores of small businesses that provide supporting services and equipment for the filming of a movie - from highly skilled computer technicians and artists at special effects companies, to caterers, dry cleaners, security personnel, and others who work for companies that support film production. Films and television shows are not created by the snap of a finger; nor do they materialize out of thin air. For directors, writers, actors and the many craftspeople we work with, film and television production involves years of creative effort and hard work to put a vision on the screen. For the studios and investors it involves tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars to make that vision a reality. Today, the average studio film costs nearly $100 million to make and market. This involves high risk for almost everyone involved, and it means that it is never easy to get a film financed - a reality faced by everyone who is in this business. Consider that many films do not retrieve their investment from theatrical exhibition. Almost all films made for theatrical release require large capital investments--and these are highly risky investments since the return can not be known at the outset. Yet today, theatrical receipts account for less than 20% of the revenue received from studio films. That means sales in ancillary markets - from DVD sales, and pay and free television which are most at risk from unauthorized copying - are critical if films are to recoup their investment. Quite simply, without the revenue from those ancillary sales, many pictures would not get made today. When film and television producers make money, the revenue can be put back into new productions that enable us, as directors, to create that film or television show. And our ability to do that in turn both employs many people and generates income not only for our industry, but also for the U.S. economy. Clearly, the willingness and capacity of producers to invest in film and digital television is undermined when our creative works are illegally copied, whether in analog or digital form, by casual users or mass produced production facilities, over the Internet or by hard disc. When a greater share of potential income is siphoned off - stolen as a result of piracy - risk rises, financing becomes more difficult, we are not able to make our films ... and American jobs are lost. For directors and the DGA, this is the fundamental concern with piracy: that the siphoning off of revenue from ancillary markets will result in fewer films being made which means less opportunity for us, as creators, to make films and television shows for the public. Another concern is the effect that unauthorized use of our products has on our income and on our pension and health plans--a situation that is true for not only directors but also others who work in our industry. Our livelihoods are inextricably tied to what happens to our work after the first time it is shown in the theatres or seen on television. That is because a significant portion of our compensation depends on residual payments. These are the fees paid for the reuse of motion pictures or television productions on free and pay television, and DVD and videocassette, in both the domestic and international markets. When movies and television programming earn revenues in these markets, a portion of that income is shared among the DGA members who work on that production. My and my fellow directors' economic and creative rights are dependent on this premise - that our work will be protected from copyright infringement - whether from unauthorized editing of our work, or unauthorized copying and reuse that erodes residual revenues. Why does this matter, you might ask? The importance of residual payments flows from the basic economic underpinnings of our business. The motion picture and television industry operates on the concept of freelance employment, meaning that our members are hired by a variety of different employers on a production-by-production basis. In other words, our members cannot count on a regular paycheck. What they can count on is ongoing income in the form of financial payments (residuals) when works they have created are re-broadcast in supplemental markets. They are in effect economic rights, which adhere to their work.
I hope this explanation underscores why I am here today. When movies and television shows are illegally copied and distributed, movie studios are being robbed of the revenue which will be used to keep production alive in our industry. This results in income - both directly and indirectly - taken from our pockets. In the age of digital broadcast transmission and the analog hole gap, this income is at serious risk. I think I can help illustrate this in personal terms. I have been in this industry for 30 years. I am a director and I have also been an actor and a producer. One of productions I am very much identified with is Star Trek: The Next Generation. I have acted in both the television series and the movies, and I have directed numerous television episodes of different series. I don't believe it would be an exaggeration to say that Star Trek is a "rather" popular and financially successful "franchise" for both Viacom and CBS. It is valuable to them and it is valuable to me and other film industry workers who have been part of this production. And what brings the public to watch Star Trek is also what makes it a prime target for pirating. And it has indeed been pirated. Sometimes the public knows it has a pirated work; other times they don't. For instance, the studio and network often get complaints from people about the inferior quality of a DVD they have purchased on auction websites. Well of course what they are purchasing, often without the knowledge of the website, is a pirated copy of Star Trek. And there are thousands of such auctions. CBS has sent out more than one thousand notices relating to thousands of auctions of bootleg copies of Star Trek. In 2004 Paramount Pictures Corporation had more then 20,000 unauthorized auctions of their copyrighted property--Star Trek among them. In 2005, Star Trek Enterprise, the latest television series, was registered with the MPAA for its auction site take-down efforts. That year they found over 13,000 auction sites of DVDs of movies and television shows which were offered online but not yet released in DVD--again, Star Trek among them. This represents significant financial losses for the network and all the individuals I work with who have been responsible for making Star Trek. Believe me, piracy is not an abstraction to filmmakers. The ability to earn a living and take care of ones family, in both the present and the future, is a paramount issue for DGA members and their families, as it is for all Americans. We cannot afford to have our livelihoods weakened by individuals - or institutions - who think downloading and sharing our members' copyrighted work is their "right" without regard to the very real economic consequence of their actions. We fully understand that the analog hole is a difficult problem that requires technologically complex solutions. But the digitization of content that can now be transmitted, converted to analog, and then converted back to digital "in the clear" provides a quantum leap in the potential for unauthorized redistribution of copyrighted work. That is why the threat to our economic livelihood is so much greater than anything that has come before. Ever growing numbers of individuals are uploading and sharing digital files with millions of users--with no remuneration to our members, the creators. We create film and television productions that are enjoyed by millions of people around the world. That is possible because of the success of the economic structure on which these works are sold, a foundation that relies in large part on profits from resale rights both in the United States and abroad. Now that economic model is threatened. The film industry and the viewing public have mutually benefited from technological developments that have enhanced viewing choices. But new technology also poses challenges that we must be prepared to deal with to protect copyright, not only for the benefit of film industry workers but also the viewing public. In closing, I want to thank you Mr. Chairman, Senator Leahy and Senator Hatch for the leadership on the issue of piracy that all of you have shown over the years. We look forward to working with you on solutions to this very important problem. I will be happy to answer any questions you have for me. |

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at alpine lodge, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere.
Market Harborough
The owner was super friendly, and a real nice atmosphere. The B&B had everything you could need, (fireplace, hot tub, steam room, in door ski storage, heated en suite bathroom floors). Break fast made hot and fresh every day plus coffee, juice, cereal, and toast, mmmmmm.
Great ski in ski out
perfect quiet getaway close to the slopes
friendly host and a great place to stay. T.V. in the room would be a bonus when there are other guests. Would stay there again
Staff was excellent: friendly and accommodating. Breakfasts were excellent. Dog friendly.
Incredibly nice owners, very comfortable accomodation. When you stay there, you should also try the sushi restaurant in the city, which is owned by the same couple as the lodge. You will not regret it ;-)
The breakfast was great and owner was very friendly.

text: Testimonials Recently Viewed | Scientists Are Just Now Quantifying the Huge Impact that Sugar Metabolism Chemistry Has on Health and AgingThe chain-reactions that occur during and after the body converts glucose (blood sugar) to energy are called "glycation" reactions. Glycation reactions are taking place in your body every day. The rate of waste product formation is dependent on age, health, blood sugar levels, and other factors. In any case, the accumulation of waste products from these reactions, in tissues and organs throughout the body, pose a real threat to life and health. Even as you read this, glycation waste products may be setting you up for serious health problems by: * Making normally supple body structures stiff and brittle * Impairing nerve function and sensitivity * Depositing sticky, debilitating waste throughout the cells and organs in your body * Interrupting essential intercellular communication * Contributing to buildup in your arteries * Clogging pathways in the brain * Causing tissue damage in your joints * Destroying capillaries in the kidneys and the eyes Scientists have identified three distinct stages of glycation reactions. In the Early Stage, the reactions are rapid and the molecular products created are unstable but relatively harmless. Often these "Early Glycation Products" or "Schiff's Bases" break down into the same molecules that created them to start with. In the Intermediate Stage, the Early Glycation Products go through a molecular rearrangement to form more stable "Intermediate Glycation Products" called "Amadori Products." These reactions can also reverse themselves and recreate Early Glycation Products. The third stage "Advanced Glycation" happens as intermediate Glycation Products degrade due to a host of factors. The Advanced Glycation reactions are virtually irreversable and form a tar-like residue called "Advanced Glycation End-products" (AGE). Share/Save/Bookmark |

Know your destination - International travel tip
Study local maps, get familiar with the main roads and how they intersect, and learn where your areas of interest can be found. Moreover, find out what public transportation is available and, if possible, download their routes and schedules. It's also helpful to know something about food and shopping options for the areas in which you plan to spend time, especially if you have dietary or other concerns.
Bottom line: knowing your way around helps decreases travel stress and increase the chance for spontaneity!

TWISTED SISTER guitarist Jay Jay French was interviewed by the Classic 21 radio station when the band performed at this year's Graspop Metal Meeting, which was held June 28-30 in Dessel, Belgium. You can now watch the chat below.
An updated version of VH1's "Behind The Music" documentary on TWISTED SISTER, "Behind The Music Remastered: Twisted Sister", premiered on VH1 Classic in the U.S. on March 30. The new version contains footage of the band's triumphant reunion for a New York 9/11 tribute rock concert, their successful X-rated Christmas album, and interview clips with the bandmembers on why they abandoned the makeup and continue to rock to this day. In a February 2011 interview with the Detroit Rock Blog, TWISTED SISTER guitarist Jay Jay French stated that the original "Behind The Music" documentary on the band, which premiered in August 2001, "was so negatively cut and it was so damaging to the band on a personal level, I thought any dream I had [of the band ever reuniting] would've gone down the tubes at that moment." In "Remastered", VH1 Classic takes the best episodes from the award-winning "Behind The Music" series, condenses the original episode, and then updates the viewer on what the artist or band has been up to since the original show premiered.TWISTED SISTER: New Video Interview With JAY JAY FRENCH

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pros and Cons - page 3

The Doctor of Nursing Practice or DNP degree has been one of the biggest buzzwords in Advanced Practice Nursing. The mere mention of it creates a stir of emotions and strong opposing opinions perhaps of the same magnitude as the... Read More
- 1Aug 25, '12 by Cold StethoscopeBy the way, now there are not only combined MD/MPH programs. Now there are also combined MD/MBA programs.pro-student likes this.
- 17Aug 26, '12 by apocatastasisI'm a new NP, received my Master's 3 months ago. I have no complaints about the clinical portion of my MSN program. But we would have been well-served with MORE than 700 clinical hours. I would love, and willingly pay for, a doctoral program that would provide me with additional didactic and clinical training in psychotherapy, neuroscience, and psychopharmacology. You know, USEFUL stuff that we're supposed to know.
Would the DNP provide those experiences? Absolutely not, because this clinical/practice doctorate is neither clinical nor practical.
I've looked at curricula from schools all across the U.S. I can't help but see the DNP, quite frankly, as an inferiority complex-driven grab for money and power that embodies everything that is WRONG with nursing education.
Forgive me if I'm overly cynical, but these wounds are too fresh. I've already yawned my way through more hours of health policy, systems, and research than I care to count. I've already witnessed the most egregious and childish stereotyping of minorities in the name of a semester of "cultural competency." I've already written far too many forty page papers on the history of dryer lint and the ethical concerns surrounding Florence Nightingale's lighting farts on fire with a match, formatted in APA format and referenced.
And they're telling me I have to do it AGAIN? NO. THANKS.
When AACN gets its act together, it can find me over here... actually taking care of patients. (Now there's a concept they've never heard of.)Last edit by apocatastasis on Aug 26, '12 - 7Aug 26, '12 by SweettartRNI wish the lie of the DNP requirement would cease. This panic of being done with NP school by 2015 in order to avoid a change, is simply an unnecessary panic of something that, so far, isn't happening, and probably won't happen for years to come.
With all of the changes set to take place with the new healthcare laws being in place, and doctors threatening to leave private practice because of it, the need for APN's is going to grow exponentially, and currently supply will not be able to keep up with demand. - 2Aug 27, '12 by BCRNAWhere exactly are programs offering a doctoral level PA programs? The last I heard the PA profession has publically commented (through there national association) that they are strongly against a doctoral PA program. There are some bridge programs that give PAs some credit to a MD program. Just curious if they changed there stance.Also, most clinicians do not actually know how to read and critique research articles. Their skills end at reading the conclusion section and skipping the methods all together. Not disparaging clinicians, but most programs do not teach true evidence based practices. It isnt enough to just read a review article or take someone elses word. How many clinicians could truly critique research studies or even explain the appropriate uses of ANOVA, logistic regression, or chi square?apocatastasis and Cold Stethoscope like this.
- 0Aug 28, '12 by AbeFrohmanThe army offers a DSc in PA studies that coincides with a EM or Ortho residency. Other branches have the residencies in place and are working to implement the DSc. This was done mainly to allow for promotion as you can get stuck in a rut if you only have a masters degree. The AAPA is still against a doctorate. There is only one bridge which is for PA to DO at LECOM that is 3 years. Not even much of a bridge and is equivalent to other 3 year programs direct towards primary care where they just cut out the summer off and a couple of electives.
As far as evidence based practice goes, both my NP and CRNA program went into plenty of detail on this. Problem is, no one cares or uses it so it becomes lost after graduation. - 0Aug 29, '12 by SE_BSN_RNAll these differences in the levels of nursing just confuses me. Ugh! I thought the DNP was the "terminal degree" in nursing. What's the difference between the PhD and DNP? They aren't the same?
And why is it so complicated? An MD is either an MD or DO, not this and this and this.....why isn't nursing the same? - 0Aug 29, '12 by SE_BSN_RNQuote from priorities2Well, of course they oppose it! They see that as a threat to their title of "Doctor." The person with the MD behind their name thinks that they are the only ones who have earned the right to be called "Doctor."Another interesting article: AMA Delegates Oppose DNPs as Medical Team Leaders -- AAFP News Now -- American Academy of Family Physicians
In some states, the NP does not need MD oversite. They can practice independantly, as well as have prescriptive authority. This has been a huge fight here where I live. The NP's have fought hard to be independant practitioners. The governor just signed a bill saying CRNA's finally do not need MD supervision. I know, of course, that the NP isn't the DNP, but the general idea of autonomy for APN's. - 0Aug 29, '12 by SE_BSN_RNIn fact, Epperly added, a DNP candidate completes only about 500 hours of additional training after receiving his or her master's degree. "That compares to about 9,000 to 15,000 hours of work that it takes a physician to become a primary care physician and a true doctor," he said.
This is incorrect. Only 500 hours after completion of the master's degree? Not according to Baylor's curiculum for their FNP:

If there was a place where I could design my own doctorate program, I would probably do it.

Urine-tricity: Electricity from Urine
Worldwide there are over 2.5 billion without access to safe sanitation. In attempt to address this need The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are funding research on the topic: 'Create the Next Generation of Sanitation Technologies'. As part of the Grand Challenges Exploration Scheme (Round 7) the Intelligent Bio Energy Group were awarded funds to support a project entitled 'Urine-tricity: electricity from urine'
Project Aim
The main aim of this proposal is to recover useful levels of electrical energy directly from urine, and thus convert an existing – entirely unexploited – waste into a sustainable fuel for the future, with concomitant clean water production.
To achieve this Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) utilize specialised, naturally-abundant microbes housed within the anodic chamber of the fuel cell as the bio-catalyst. The microbes are fed urine directly and as part of their normal metabolic process consume the urine which generates electrons and when connected to a cathode allows a path for these electrons generating current. In addition the passing of these electrons and protons through an ion-selective membrane, (which separates the anodic and cathodic chambers of the MFC), reacts with air generating clean water.
Project Goal
The principle that urine can be used directly to fuel MFC we have previously demonstrated (Ieropoulos et al; Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2012, 14, 94-98). However the challenge is to maximise the power output which will inadvertently have the advantage of improved break-down of the waste material (making it safer for disposal) and importantly maximising water production. It is endeavoured this will be achieved by miniaturisation and multiplications of connected MFC units – the 'Grand Challenge' of this project.
Latest News
The team has recently demonstrated for the first time the charging of a commercially available mobile phone, using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) fed with real neat urine. The membrane-less MFCs were made out of ceramic material and employed plain carbon based electrodes. View the relevant scientific publication. For more details see our Press Release
Watch the video of the mobile phone working on urine.

text: A three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit dismissed the claims [JURIST report] against CACI International Inc. and L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. [opinions, PDF] September, holding that federal law protecting civilian contractors acting under the control of the US military in a combat situation preempted the plaintiffs' tort claims based in state law. US military personnel have also been accused of torturing detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. Army Spc. Charles Graner [JURIST news archive], the convicted ringleader of abuses committed at the prison, was released [JURIST report] last August for good behavior after serving more than six-and-a-half years of his 10-year sentence. Graner was convicted [JURIST report] in 2005 of conspiracy, assault, maltreating prisoners, dereliction of duty and committing indecent acts and received the longest sentence of the six others involved in the abuses. In June, the DOJ initiated a grand jury investigation [JURIST report] into the torture and death of a detainee at Abu Ghraib. Manadel Al-Jamadi was captured [JURIST report] by US Navy SEALs in 2003 and held in Abu Ghraib as a "ghost detainee," or unregistered prisoner, for his suspected involvement in the bombing of a Red Cross center in Baghdad that killed 12 people. The US military has never revealed the exact circumstances of his death, which was ruled a homicide [JURIST report]. Reports show he died while suspended by his wrists, which were handcuffed behind his back.

ø Ignore ShayuriOkay...as I think about my 'requirements' for my character, I'm starting to think a Monk is better than a rogue. It's weird, and I'm not entirely sure my reasoning is sound.
Basically, I'd be getting Bluff as a class skill via a Trait. The monk ability to fight without weapons or armor would be -invaluable- to a disguised bodyguard.
Still weighing options.

ø Ignore HolyManI think the monk as bodyguard is a cool concept but believe the rogue offers more options. See below.
Your character could be the cavalier's (full) sister. Older??* Which gives you relations to the half-brothers and we have one big (slightly odd) family.
All kinds of RP possibility - The older sister (say six years older than all the boys) saw what dads indiscretions did to her mothers health. She then hates(and loves) her father but since he's not around she takes it out on the bastards. Who are totally innocent btw.
As to monk vs rogue? Both would be good but with rogue being the sneakier class and all it would be my choice.
- The unarmed/unarmored disguise need only apply in urban settings correct? Out exploring you can don your leathers and wear your crossbow openingly. "In town" you use your skills, feats, and talents to help you seem the "lady of court".
- sleight of hand for hiding weapons(dagger,sap, etc.)
- Catch Off Guard (for using candlestick holders as weapons)
- Major Magic to cast mage armor (You'll probably get bracers of armor before this though.) Or UMD and a wand or scrolls to help with your AC
- Lots of talents to help with both the intrigue of court and survival in the wilds (Canny Observer, Fast Getaway, Snap Shot, Surprise Attack)
- Feats too. I think if you go ranged over melee you could get a few combat feats usable in both rural and urban settings. Deadly Aim and then the Shot on the Run tree to get Parting Shot at level 8.
* Which brings me to age talk. How old are you going to make your wizard DT?

ø Ignore HolyManI rolled half-elf so am sticking with it.
I think an eleven princess was seduced by the whiles of Liam's father.
I was going to ask you. Is this like a savage type barbarian (fur, feathers, and a short vocabulary - Conan) or is this just a warrior who likes the wild and gets mad from time to time.
I can't decided if my character will be more a naturalist or more like a stable hand with extra abilities. You could help me to decide.
EDIT: Unrelated - I was going to say Gimli is like the latter barbarian and thought better of it but know that I think about it I think that is a fair class for him.
Legolas - Fighter (archer)
Strider - Ranger (skirmisher/guide)
Gimli - Barbarian (invulnerable rager) (maybe a few levels of fighter)

Since I increased his Wis and Cha without lowering his Int I was thinking of making him a mix between Conan and Gimli. Think of Davy Crockett with a temper. He could be a trapper/guide/guard through the area along with the help of a druid...yea that could be you if you like. This could also explain why we are in the party...that and you're related to the furture king.
I will have myself a dip into figter (unbreakable) to get both endurance and diehard in one move. Oh, he will proably be an invulnerable rager.

ø Ignore Deuce TravelerI think Prince Liam should be the oldest, though I doubt a bastard tiefling would be anywhere in line for a throne. So I'll have him be younger at 18 or 19. I'm thinking he has a chip on his shoulder and maturity issues, though he may have seen quite a bit traveling with his infernal mom.
Have we settled the point buy issue yet?My Involvement:

ø Ignore ShayuriMonks are just so much -better- than rogues.
But I agree, the RP of a monk is awkward at best. They're too 'eastern' in flavor. And acestism doesn't mix well with royalty.
I will see what I can do with some of your suggestions. Most rogue builds I can think of take a few levels to start taking off though, so I may be kind of pathetic at first. :/

ø Ignore KaodiWell, I have not see a lot of arguments raised for why it is imperative we go with 25 pts. So I think that maybe we can agree that 20 is good and call it a day.
Also, I am not quite sure what you are saying about my ranger, Disposable Hero. That everyone is related except my ranger, or that I should find some way to work that in too? I mean, I suppose I could try to come up with an extra connection, but since the rest of the party is supposed to be from an entirely different part of the River Kingdoms, in may require a bit of an extra effort.-Kaodi
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.
-Iago, Shakespeare's Othello, Act III. Scene III. Lines 180-186.
Tuesday, 3rd July, 2012, 03:40 PM #90
Kaodi, I was just saying we could work together to come up with a way of how we know each other beforehand or the first time we meet is when we are 'recruited' for the adventure...nothing more nothing less. Sorry if it sounded as if I was trying to cut you out or something.

Linux Plumbers Conference: Day 1 Wrap Up
The first day of the Linux Plumbers Conference in Portland, Oregon demonstrated that the primary goal of its organizers is being met: developers who are actively working on individual projects are gathering together to address specific cross-project problems.
In several of today's sessions, the original presentation morphed into an active discussion among developers about various programming problems and their possible solutions.
Today's microconferences covered a range of topics – from audio device drivers to debugging methods and tools – and culminated in a Git tutorial given by Linus Torvalds. Torvalds was surprised that half the people in the room were already using Git. He then discussed the design of the tool, its simplicity and stability, then tailored his prepared presentation to balance simple use for new users with advanced topics for those with more experience.
In addition to the microconferences, the LPC schedule includes evening social events designed to get attendees away from conference rooms and introduce them to Portland at large.

Its really scary how the world is turning out to be. The recent story of the kids in Georgia that were plotting to kill their teacher. I'm only 25, but I don't remember ever being scared to go to school every day or worried that something bad was going to happen. Things like that just didnt seem to exist. I remember growing up we had shows that had morals to them...good family shows like Cosby and Full House. These days, kids are watching crime shows and MTV. They have nothing truly good to watch unless they just strictly watch the Disney or Nickelodeon channels. We need to get them back to shows that will teach them something and that they can watch with their parents. I really think the media is a huge factor in how kids are behaving today.
