The Collective Bargaining Agreement and Competitive Balance
Since the Grizz are a small-market team, I thought that some details in my latest article might interest some of you. The Grizzlies, while in Memphis (the 5th smallest market in the NBA), still manage to exceed the luxury tax this season. There's also some discussion as to the seeming failure of the CBA, as the Lakers can simply swallow the tax with their 100 million dollar payroll this season.

UFC Fight Night 35, which takes place later this evening (Weds., Jan. 15, 2014) from The Arena in Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga., is an important night for the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion's Middleweight division.
Indeed, the main- and co-main events are both very relevant for the 185-pound standings. Specifically, the co-main event match between Lorenz Larkin and Brad Tavares should be a very entertaining scrap, one that will push the winner higher up in the rankings.
Larkin, a Strikeforce standout in the Light Heavyweight division before his drop to middleweight, is known for his flashy striking. A polished kickboxer, Larkin boasts good speed and power in his strikes. He also is known to utilize more unorthodox techniques such as spinning kicks. His footwork is also very good and very agile, making him difficult to time, while also making him hard to escape from with his ability to cut off the cage.
Tavares is a striker, too, but his approach is much more conventional. His kicks and punches are always very orthodox, rarely leaving himself exposed for counter strikes. His defense is very solid, but his movement is not perfect, sometimes allowing opponents to cut angles on him, which opens up striking opportunities for them. His strikes pack power, but they lack speed, which may be a detriment to him when fighting someone as quick as Larkin.
In addition to being a very interesting clash in the striking department, expect this fight to get interesting in the clinch. Tavares is a powerful middleweight and he is very good at bullying his way into double underhooks, while also being effective at landing punishing strikes in close. Larkin is also very good in the clinch, slickly working his own strikes in while fighting for position.
The problem here for Larkin is that Tavares is likely much stronger than him ... and Larkin isn't exactly the biggest physical presence in tight exchanges. We saw this in his bouts with Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and Francis Carmont, where Larkin struggled in the clinch (even if the latter example was a very dubious decision loss).
If Larkin can hold his own in the clinch, expect him to be set in terms of stopping Tavares' takedowns. Larkin has shown that he has very good hips, which means he can sprawl hard when he needs to, rendering shots almost useless unless Tavares is especially tenacious. His legs are flexible and his balance is good, which also makes it difficult to catch him in single legs, meaning Tavares' main route toward getting takedowns would have to be in the clinch.
What Tavares lacks in unpredictability he makes up for in tenacity. It will be interesting to see whether he pressures Larkin to get a clinch or if he'll be content to stand at range with "The Monsoon." Either man could finish the other, which makes this fight very intriguing, considering both of these men seem ready to make a big step up in competition.
With a lot riding on the outcome of this bout, expect both of these fighters to go hard and stay in it for as long as they physically can en route to a possible "Fight of the Night" bonus ... and much bigger things in the Middleweight division in 2014.

MONTREAL — Logan Couture won't score many easier goals.
Couture got his second goal of the game in the San Jose Sharks' 2-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night when a third-period dump-in took an unexpected bounce off the glass and landed on his stick. Couture made no mistake in front of the gaping net.
"I've gotten a couple of empty-net goals already this year," a grinning Couture said. "I've been lucky."
The Sharks were up 1-0 when veteran Patrick Marleau dumped the puck into the Canadiens' zone. Carey Price, who had anticipated retrieving the puck behind his net, couldn't get back in time when it instead fell to Couture.
"It's not the way you want to get scored on," said Price, who made 35 saves on the night. "It's the way it bounces sometimes. They're a good team. That's what they do. They're a very structured team and they played a perfect road game today."
Defender Josh Gorges was on the ice when the Sharks doubled their lead. Gorges unsuccessfully sprawled in front of Couture to stop the shot.
"Obviously, it's unfortunate that bounce, but when things like that happen we need to be able to respond the right way. We didn't get it going again after that," Gorges said.
"You never expect something like that. You're never prepared for something like that. But those are the breaks in the game. Down 2-0, we still had a chance."
But the Canadiens, who only took six shots on net in the third period, couldn't find an answer to Antti Niemi's play.
Niemi made 22 saves for his second shutout of the season and league-leading ninth win. The Finnish goaltender, who's played every game for the Sharks this year, is allowing an average of less than two goals a game, backed by a cool .933 save percentage.

Rated 5 out of 5�by yareckon Great design. Great chair. It's size for packing on a motorcycle was a bit much, but I'll manage since it is such a well thought-out design. I wonder who the engineers were that figured out how to get a chair as sturdy as this one to fold up so many ways into a tight package? I will get a lot of use from this chair. August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gramof8 Amazing chair! I am absolutely thrilled with this chair. It is sturdy, comfortable, and easy to transport. I bought it because my grandson is in little league baseball, and I plan on being in attendance! August 8, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by sports granny GCI Outdoor Pico Arm Chair Although I haven't really used it yet I did open it and tried it out for a minute it was very comfortable and seems very sturdy which is what I wanted at my age, it is a little heavy and you have to put your foot on both bottom bars to pull up into position but I wanted something sturdy and straight, sick of the low slung curved piece of canvas. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by FunFloridaAdventurer New Chairs for our Class B RV We bought these chairs, per a recommendation on a RoadTreker blog. They are a little expensive; but the size, weight, quality & comfort make them worth the price. We've only set them up and sat in them. They are going on our first trip this week. We are assuming that they hold up. So far they have met our expectation. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Darth Slo-Train This is a great product and well worth the money. I purchased this chair because I wanted a chair that was compact and easy to transport on my motorcycle. It really fit the bill for me. Great for when traveling to festivals. The chair is very sturdy as well. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by geno folding chairs A friend of mine had one of these and I loved it. Finally found out where to buy them. These are excellent folding chairs, they take a minute to figure out how to open and close. They close to about 15 inches square and open to a large seat [ 250 lb cap.] Cup holders and a nice carrying bag that you can use on the back of the chair to hold whatever. Highly recomend these.

Two miniature horses, who faced certain death after their owners neglected them, now have new life. The two horses have been nursed back to health by Big Sky Farm in Dacula, and help from the community.It's suspected the previous owners of the horses didn't groom or feed them for eight months. The farm has more than two dozen horses, countless birds and one donkey. Now they have added the two miniature horses, Tyson and Maybelline. Carla Brown, a Gwinnett County judge and owner of Big Sky Farm, learned about Tyson and Maybelline from a concerned friend.When the farm received the horses, they were in pitiful shape, according to Brown."Maybelline was in a lot better shape but her back bone and her hip bone were protruding out. Tyson was laying down and was covered in just very, very, very thick hair," said Brown.Tyson was laying down because he couldn't walk. Brown says he was grossly underweight, weighing only about 55 pounds."It just made me sick. Made me sick," said Brown.If the horses were going to live, they would need around the clock care."For the first week, it was every three hours we were changing out an IV. He had a catheter, but you still had to flush the catheter, set up the IV, hook it up, get it running," said Brown.Brown says she didn't have to go it alone. Volunteers from the community came out cared for the helpless horses.After weeks of care, Maybelline is doing much better and Tyson is back on his feet.Tyson is able to stand on his own, and he lays down when he needs to. He eats everything in sight. Both horses love to go outside and play."Things are rough in the world right now, and hard, but when you've got little guys like this that are in need, people just really, people tend to band together," said Brown.As soon as Tyson and Maybelline are fully recovered, they will be adopted out. Meanwhile, the previous owners of the two minis, who owned them for about eight months, have been cited for neglect. The case is pending.

Taking a trip this summer to the beaches along New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, or North Carolina? Don't forget there is a lot to see beyond the sea. Late last month my family and I were back home briefly and decided to check out the Nature Center of Cape May. It was the perfect venue to brush up on some local natural history, view wildlife over the Harbor (with a pair of their lender binoculars), get an up close look at some terrapins and snakes, check out the colors in one of the multiple butterfly gardens, and even had time to get creative at the arts & crafts table. What is your favorite nature center spot at home or on vacation to the shore?
The mission of the Nature Center of Cape May focuses in providing quality environmental education experiences, encouraging stewardship of the harbor area and other natural areas, and promoting volunteerism as a rewarding means of community involvement and service.
You may have heard about the phenomena of horseshoe crab spawning … but, do you really know what's going on? It's when hundreds of thousands of these ancient arthropods (dating back 400 million years!) make the journey to low-energy sandy beaches along the Atlantic coast, predominately along the Mid-Atlantic region (highest concentration found along the Delaware Bay), around the time of the full and new moons of May and early June to spawn. Here's the distilled version of the horseshoe crab spawning saga complete with the words you need to know (i.e., "pedipalps" and "satellite" male) if you want to be considered a horseshoe crab expert. Who doesn't?
For more information on horseshoe crabs and "99 reasons I am in Limulus Love" check out my horseshoe crab page here.
Have you seen this floating around the internet these days "33 Awesome Marriage Proposals You Couldn't Say No To"? Well, I'm a romantic so I read them all and boy was I excited when I made it to #32 … all about that cute and fluffy flightless bird, the penguin. Check out the image below:
I was a little annoyed at the generalization (not all penguin species participate in this practice), but then remembered the point of the article is sharing undeniably adorable proposals, not teaching marine science. Where did this statement come from? Well, most likely this was swiped from the movie Good Luck Chuck. See the scene below:
So to shed a little light on this generalization here goes it … The Gentoo and Adelie penguins are the two species out of the 17 known species of penguins to participate in this practice. According to the "Observations on Animal Behaviour" blog "During courtship, the male will present the female with a pebble as a gift. If the female accepts the generous gift, they bond and mate for life. These pebbles hold considerable value and they are also symbols of affection toward a mate. It's actually quite touching that he would give one away when he's fighting ferociously to defend his pebbles."

We can go outside again! We can go outside again! Halleluiah! It's a miracle! And, just in time for National Environmental Education Week (April 13-19), Earth Day (April 22), and Arbor Day (April 25). But, are you ready to throw your hands up in the air at the annual celebration to take care of the planet since you know "Earth Day is Every Day"? More than likely you're already signed up to participate in a beach or stream clean-up, you have your favorite John Muir lesson plans ready for your students, and you constantly read or watch the Lorax to your own children, right? Well, if you're looking for hilarious, fun, awe-inspiring ways to get yourself and those around you reinvigorated about Earth Day here are five ways to kick start the granola in you again.
1) Forage: While on maternity leave this past winter I became obsessed with a show on TLC called "Extreme Cheapskates". Some things I can totally get behind, others made me a little squeamish. I loved the couple on one episode that implemented a "no spending month". They refused to buy anything during this month and would focus on using every little last bit of scrap that was in the freezer and wouldn't spend unless it was after finding pennies that were hiding under the sofa or returning recycled containers. Also, an overwhelming amount of those featured on the show would go other to forage their own salad fixings. Apparently, dandelions have some great health benefits and are a welcome addition to salads!
2) Challenge yourself: If you're anything like me, you try your darnedest to live like "Earth Day is Every Day", but sometime you fall short. And, honestly … don't feel bad. We all try and we all fall short … even the best of them use plastic from time to time. It's inevitable. I find the changes where I really succeed are the consequence of a challenge to myself. After some pondering and evaluation I might decide, "I really don't need this" or "I'll just make my own from now on" and I commit. I try to make it something that will work in my current life (i.e., there is no way I'd ever be one to make my own clothes, but I can make clothes detergent). I pick one new idea every six months and experiment. It's fun and I never feel bad if it doesn't work out – I tried and I can try again!
3) Start a movement: Do you have that one irritating issue that no one in your community seems to be doing anything about? Well, why not capitalize on this time of year and mobilize your friends and family to focus them on a solution? You can be like Dave Rauschkolb who started the "Hands Across the Sand" movement to bring attention to clean energy, Danielle Richardet who started a movement to outlaw cigarettes on the beaches of Wilmington, NC, or Tim Silverwood who started the Take 3 Initiative. They had a small measurable objective and encouraged those around them to participate! What's bothering you!? Are you ready to take it on?
4) Earth Day dance: What's not to love with this music from Michal Franti? Get your body moving and heart rate running so much so that you'll be volunteering for every clean-up from sea to shining sea. Or, make a playlist of your own and keep it on your device for when you're in the not-so-inspired slump. Some songs that I might choose would be Redemption Song (Bob Marley), Forever Young (Bob Dylan), The 3 R's (Jack Johnson), How Come (Ray LaMontagne), What's Goin' On? (Marvin Gaye), Waiting On The World To Change (John Mayer), and Man In The Mirror (Michael Jackson). Anyone have other suggestions? I'd love to hear them!
5) Have a party: Celebrate your love of the Earth with a party and inspire others with your use of local ingredients and reusable materials. To take it up a notch you can serve fun cocktails with only terrestrial or aquatic names, like the mudslide or the blue sea martini! Or you could just bring in a special sweet treat to the office, like these Earth Day chocolate peanut butter cups!?!?
Bonus three for teachers:
1) Sing a little Earth Day diddy: You can get 11 songs adapted from familiar tunes from this open marketplace for educators. For instance, check out this "Recycling Song" (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat):
Save, save, save the cans*, throw them in the bin. We can help save the Earth, if we all pitch in. (*Repeat with plastics, paper, bottles)
2) Make your own dye: This fun, interdisciplinary lesson "Using Spatial Intelligence to Make Earth-Friendly Art" for middle schoolers is from Earth Day Network and strengthens students' artistic skills and their knowledge about history and the environment. It also throws in a little bit of every other intelligence just for a most well rounded approach … a must-must if you ask me!
3) Watch a webinar: National Environmental Education Week's online webinar archive offers talks and presentations with some of the leading minds in environmental education. My favorites are the "Teaching Ocean Connections: Watersheds to Reefs", "Biomimicry: Designing by Nature" and all of the ones related to how to use technology to investigate the outdoors.
Confession: I may or may not have written this entire post just so I could share the preschool song!
Thank you to the Northeast Office of the US Fish and Wildlife Service for posting this graphic on their Twitter feed! With the mention of horseshoe crabs, how could I not repost this!?!
It might seem nonsensical since the dunes look calm and peaceful, but it's not a good idea to explore dunes. In addition to being illegal in many coastal towns, here are six other reasons why you should stay off the dunes:
1) Dunes store sand that help diminish potential shoreline erosion.
2) Dunes absorb the impact of storm surge and high waves.
3) Dunes prevent water from flooding coastal towns.
4) Dunes provide habitat and crucial nesting area for threatened and endangered species.
5) Dunes create a relaxing backdrop to any beach.
6) Dunes buffer the full force of the ocean and protect property.
For more on dunes, their importance and role in beach ecology, check out the post "From Sandy, coastal towns learn 'dune' diligence. Is it enough?" written immediately after Hurricane Sandy.
Last March I spent some time focusing on what we do in our communities that affect watersheds. Forgive me, but I'm just now getting around to sharing some quick and simple (repeat: simple, simple, simple!) household practices that are not only better for my local watershed, but also the growing family and I. Each of these products reduces our plastic impact and uses ingredients that are significantly less toxic than their commercial counterpart.
In addition to water, you only need at most three ingredients for each of these – all of which you can purchase from Amazon, Target, or Trader Joe's.
Laundry detergent from Wellness Mama: All you need is pure castile soap, borax, and washing soda
Liquid hand soap from Thank Your Body: All you need is pure castile soap
Simple Homemade 3-in-1 Cleaner from Frugal Granola: All you need is white vinegar and lemon (or essential oils)
Vanilla Coconut Brown Sugar Scrub from Treehugger: All you need is coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla
Wipes (great for cleaning tile, counters, leather, and flooring) from Wellness Mama: All you need is liquid castile soap, 100% pure aloe vera, and witch hazel
Since castile soap shows up frequently on the ingredients lists, check out this post from Live Renewed on the many uses of castile soap. You'll be amazed and smitten with Dr. Bronner!
For more ways to reduce your plastic impact, please make sure to check out and reference often (bookmark now!) anything from Beth Terry. I love her book and her blog, My Plastic Free Life.
In an effort to keep my life a little less crazy, I do try to find homemade household product recipes that use only a few common ingredients (read: three or less). Do you have any other great ideas worth sharing?
Well, it's been quite some time since I've posted and it's all due to an adorable little distraction – my son was born in early January. The addition has been wonderful and fairly stress free (keep your fingers crossed!). In fact, I have to say this time around my biggest stress was picking out a name. We had a boy name chosen, but not a girl name, so the decision was easy. However, it got me thinking about what juvenile marine animals are called. Here is a list of 'baby' names of over 25 well-known ocean animals. After all, you don't accidentally want to refer to a juvenile shark as a calf or a juvenile eel as a spet, do you? If you can expand or elaborate on the list feel free to share in the comments box.
Flamingo, gull, heron, penguin: Chick
Crane: Chick or craneling
Pelican: Nestling
Barracuda: Spet
Cod: Codling, hake, sprag, or sprat
Eel: Elver
Most fish: Fry or fingerling
Salmon: Smelt
Blue crab: Larva
Clam: Larva, chiton, or littleneck
Horseshoe crab: Larva
Jellyfish: Ephyrae
Oyster: Spat
Sand dollar, sea urchin, sea star: Larva or pluteus (free-swimming stage)
Marine mammals
Dolphin, manatee, porpoise, whale: Calf
Otter: Whelp or pup
Shark, seal, sea lion: Pup
Walrus: Cub or pup
Turtle: Hatchling

Here are five facts to help you identify the featured "holiday" crustacean from the BCS "Christmas/winter-themed marine organisms" Pinterest board. 1. This crustacean belongs to a group (including species from five different families) which prefer the habitat of caves, pools, crevices, or wells in limestone or lava rock that is flooded by seawater. 2. This […]
There are two types of whales: baleen and toothed. Baleen whales are the magical creatures that create "songs" under water. The series of high pitched squeals, shrieks, groan and moans can last anywhere up to twenty minutes and be as low as 20 Hz and high as 10,000 Hz. Male whales (bulls) tend to use […]
Bony fish have a swim bladder, a gas filled sac. The swim bladder originates as part of the belly. The swim bladder aids in creating an equilibrium with what is going on inside the fish and the surrounding water. Some fish have a bladder that is part of the respiratory system, called an air bladder. […]
Manatees are marine mammals and breathe air through their nostrils. Manatees belong to an order of marine mammals called the Sirenians. Dugongs are the other member of this family. Stellar sea cows were also a member of this family, but they were hunted to extinction within 27 years of their discovery. Manatees can weigh up […]

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The city of Tiffin looks poised to balance its municipal operating budget for the first time in years in 2014.
Mayor Aaron Montz proposed the budget at Wednesday's City Council meeting. The city has $1.67 million left over from last year. That carryover, along with some cuts in spending, allowed Montz to propose a balanced budget.
Under Mayor Montz's plan the city would merge a few departments and employees would contribute 20 percent of their healthcare costs.
The budget would fund fireworks and public pools, both of which were paid for by donations last year. The city would also increase spending for street paving and parks under Montz's plan.
"It's easy to do a budget when there's not a whole lot of money to go around. But, when you actually have money to spend, that's usually when the fights begin. And we were impressed that we walked away last night with very good, positive discussions and no cuts to the budget. And we're looking at trying to continue restoring services as we head into 2014," said mayor Montz.
Council will vote on the 2014 budget on Monday, December 16.

Coverage of Crippled Nuclear Plants in Japan Focuses, in Part, on Ethics
Today's world is driven by greed and this article is a perfect example of that fact. There are so many people in the world that are out to make a quick buck no matter who or what they have to step on to get it. The fact that people would scam others into donating money to help efforts in Japan is beyond unethical to the point where these people are inhuman. The more the world resorts to these methods as a way to survive the less chance are world has at surviving for years to come.

Town Square
Brozosky's mansion in the southeast hills?
Original post made by Brad S. on Nov 3, 2008
Web Link
Every voter who is even thinking of voting for that guy should see this!
on Nov 3, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I'm curious as to why someone who has a primary web address of CampVanVac, based in Ely, Minnesota, would care about Brozosky.
Why is someone posting pictures of this nature, yet hiding behind a web addy halfway across the nation?
Your neighbor? Bull*hit!

Maybe he telecommutes. . .doesn't change the size of the house.

Oh Please. *rolling my eyes*
If this is news, it's also poor journalism.

I came across The Fairy Door Store on Facebook and I fell instantly in love with the product. The fairy doors are all kinds of magical cuteness, sure to stimulate imaginative play for kids. I emailed Sarah from to ask her if she would work with me to do a play scene for my blog, and so here we are.
Imaginative Play Scene
Fairy Door
Decorative stones
Fairy or small doll
Ribbon or streamers (optional)
To set up this this play scene, I placed a few shells and decorative stones at the base of a tree and used blu-tack (glue to make it permanent) the fairy door to the trunk. I also tied a few ribbons on the tree branches above the door, and it looks truly magical! I wish I could describe the gasp of delight from my daughter when she saw this.
About The Fairy Door
The doors come beautifully packaged in a gorgeous box, and included is a bag of fairy dust, and a magical golden key that only the fairies can use to open the door.
The fairy doors are designed to open inward, so once you have installed your door, only the fairies can open it! That's part of the magic. Use double stick tape, blue-tack or glue to hang the door.
Inside or Out
The fairy door looks gorgeous inside too. Decorate a bedroom or play room and bring some magic into your home.

One of the jobs of the Count of Maurepas, a senior official in charge of the Paris police in the 1740s, was to monitor closely what was being said about King Louis XV in satirical rhymes, called libelles, which circulated in salons, cafes, markets and taverns. As they passed from person to person, whether orally or written on small scraps of paper, these ditties would be modified and reworked, with new verses added or names changed. Such poems could easily be updated in response to the news, a process of collective authorship that assimilated and encapsulated public opinion. Maurepas collected these poems through a network of informers, so that he could monitor public opinion on the king's behalf, tracking which courtiers were being satirized and collecting the latest rumors about the royal family. As with modern Internet censorship in China, the authorities would intervene if someone went too far.
On occasion, Maurepas and other courtiers would also write rhymes of their own to try to influence public opinion, letting them circulate at court and then filter out via salons and cafes to society at large. One such rhyme led to Maurepas' dismissal in 1749, when it became apparent that he was the author. It insulted the king's mistress, who was unpopular among his faction at court. Perhaps not unlike a certain former White House staffer, Maurepas had sought to exploit the media system to his own advantage, but instead brought about his own downfall. The power of the rhymes, however, remained intact: The relentless criticism of the libelles steadily corroded respect for the monarchy, undermined the king's authority, and paved the way for the French Revolution.
And then came the Dark Ages. Starting in the mid-19th century, everything changed. The advent of the steam-powered printing press, followed in the 20th century by radio and television, made possible what we now call mass media (and what conventional wisdom thinks of as traditional media). These new technologies of mass dissemination could supply information directly to large numbers of people with unprecedented speed and efficiency, but their high cost meant that control of the flow of information became concentrated into the hands of a select few. The delivery of information became a one-way, centralized broadcast, overshadowing the tradition of two-way, conversational and social distribution that had come before.
It is only in recent years that the Internet has made it possible to reach a large audience at low cost, allowing social distribution to re-emerge from the shadow of mass media. The rebirth of social media in the Internet age is thus both a profound shift - and a return, in many respects, to the way things used to be.

The scoop on Adult ADD Symptoms
Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD is often believed to be a
condition that occurs only in children. ADD is not really
considered to be a condition that happens in adults. In the US
about 5% of children have this disorder. It is believed that the
condition is outgrown with age but studies show that 30 to 70%
of kids suffering from this condition would carry the symptoms
in adulthood. It would come as a surprise then if family members
would notice adult ADD symptoms in a family member. Not
so long ago, an adult suffering from ADD symptoms will be
labeled as cantankerous, impulsive, bad tempered or hyperactive
as not so many people are aware that this kind of condition
generally believed to happen only to kids can also occur in
adults. Even the person with ADD may not be aware that what
he/she is suffering from are adult ADD symptoms.
So what is ADD and what are the symptoms of this disorder?
Attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder is a common mental disorder that occurs in children.
Children with ADD would seldom excel in school and would have
poor social relationship because they generally feel inadequate
because of low self esteem. Symptoms would vary but the most
prevalent are hyperactivity and manifestation of impulsive
behavior. People with adult ADD would have poor mental focus.
People afflicted with this disorder would find it very difficult
to concentrate as they are easily distracted. It is not uncommon
for these people to leave started tasks unfinished as they
easily get bored. Their inattention would cause them to misplace
things. They would also find it difficult to stick to schedules.
Surprisingly, some people with ADD can be very tenacious and
single minded. They would not stop until the task is finished.
Even in this day and age, the exact cause of ADD is yet to be
determined although the disorder is associated with the genes.
This mental disorder commonly develops in family members. A
parent that takes the child to the doctor for treatment may
realize that he or she is also suffering from adult ADD
symptoms. This condition is also associated with brain
abnormalities caused by injuries or trauma.
about ADHD
Adult ADD, just like any other kind of health
concern would need treatment. Although some great
people like Einstein, Churchill and Leonardo de
Vinci are known to have adult ADD. In spite of the
condition, these people have excelled in their
fields. Left untreated, adult ADD can have unwanted
effects on the lives of people with this mental
disorder. Adult ADD is believed to have genetic
components thus taking the family history would be
necessary. Other examinations like MRI, EEG, CT and
psycho educational testing have to be performed.
Stimulants are drugs proven to be efficacious to
people with adult ADD. Relaxation and stress
management, behavioral coaching would help people
manifesting adult ADD symptoms. These
behavioral treatments as well as the family support
would help the person with ADD manage the condition.
Of course you should take everything you read with a
grain of salt, this website is not a proper
substitute for proper medical attention we simply
aim help you get informed and make your own

You will soon become an expert at international banking transactions. Regardless of how much spending money you plan to bring, you will at some point want quick access to your funds. You will also want to protect your money against loss. This section covers your banking options.
There is no single, complete way to manage your money, but we find that a combination of services meets the needs of most students.
The first thing to do before traveling to Great Britain is contact your bank and/or credit card company to let them know that you will be studying abroad. If your bank is not aware that you will be using your card(s) overseas, they may cancel your card(s) due to suspicious activity outside your normal spending patterns. Be sure to tell them where you are going (not just where you are studying - be sure to mention any other countries you are planning to visit) and the dates of your travel so that your card is not blocked.
When contacting your bank or credit card company, you should confirm that you will be able to use your card(s) overseas. You should also ask about their foreign withdrawal and foreign transaction fees. It is also a good idea to ask if your U.S. bank has a partnership with a bank in Great Britain that may allow you to withdraw money from your U.S. account without paying a withdrawal fee.
British money is on a decimal system in pounds sterling [£] and may be referred to as "sterling" (the British money standard) or "pounds" (the currency itself). Scottish notes vary in design from English notes but are worth exactly the same. You can check today's rate by visiting this exchange rate currency calculator: http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html.
It's a good idea to arrive with at least the equivalent of $100 in your wallet. You can bring dollars and change them into pounds at the airport just before departure, or at the airport after your arrival (there will be hefty commission charges, though). Your American ATM card is also a very convenient way to access funds while overseas, and you should also be able to access an ATM at the British airport upon arrival.
Once you have arrived in Britain, you can change money at a local bank or building society (which will give you the best rate but will only be open from 9:00 to 4:30 or 5:00) or bureau de change (many have evening and weekend hours).
The easiest way to handle your money is with an American ATM card. If it is linked to the Plus or Cirrus systems, your card will work in thousands of cash machines throughout the country. The advantage to using your American ATM card is that you will be assessed the wholesale exchange rate that applies to large foreign currency transactions. You should check with the issuer of your ATM card to make sure your NUMERICAL personal identification number (PIN) will work abroad. Also, ask if there are any fees or surcharges for withdrawing money overseas. You can only draw from a primary (usually checking) account.
The issuer should be able to provide you with a list of overseas outlets where your card is accepted. Students sometimes report having problems using their Cirrus cards, despite being told by the banks that they would work. The Plus system is usually a better bet.
American ATM cards are sometimes difficult to replace quickly if lost or stolen. Occasionally, students have told us that they had difficulty finding cash machines that would accept their American ATM cards. Take your American ATM card with you, but have other sources of money in case your ATM card does not work.
You can use credit cards in Europe for everything from drawing cash to buying dinner. Visa and MasterCard are more widely accepted than American Express for daily purchases. (Discover cards are not accepted in Britain.) All these organizations offer their card holders some very useful financial services. Check with each company for more information before you depart.
With an AmEx card and your passport, you can go into any American Express office and write a personal check (in $U.S.) using your checkbook from your checking account back home. You will receive a portion of your funds in local currency and can purchase travelers checks with the rest. Check with American Express to confirm whether these services are available to you. This is a simple way for your family to transfer money to you while abroad. Just leave deposit slips with your family and take your checkbook with you to Europe. Your family can also cable money to you through American Express. If you purchase American Express travelers checks, you can exchange them for free at AmEx offices throughout Britain.
You can go into any Visa-participating bank in Western Europe, present your Visa card, and draw immediate cash. The only snag is that you will incur interest charges from the first day.
MasterCard is readily accepted by almost all major banks across Western Europe and in tourist areas of the Eastern European countries. It may be used to draw either cash or MasterCard travelers checks. In addition, it is widely accepted by local merchants in Western Europe. You can request an International Directory outlining (by country) the scope of merchant acceptance, number of cash advance locations, and lists of banks which provide cash advance services from your service provider.
Credit card cash advances are considered loans, so interest is charged from the day the advance is made. If you are planning to take out cash advances with your credit cards while overseas, you may want to pay money into your account in advance to avoid finance charges which begin to accumulate as soon as the charge is reported to your card issuer.
Check with your credit card company about its policies on pre-payment and cash advances.
While you could certainly manage most of your financial affairs with an array of plastic, there are some very real drawbacks to total dependence on credit cards. Even with careful planning and strict adherence to a set budget plan, it is still frighteningly easy to overspend, and finance charges can add up quickly if you extend payment on goods or take out cash advances. Loss of the card causes severe inconvenience.
The card you present overseas must be in your own name as given on your passport. At a cardholder's request (your family member), most major lenders will issue a dependent's card. Be sure that your family requests the additional card in time to have it come through before you leave and that it is ordered to be made out in your name as it appears on your passport.
Many lenders now issue credit cards to students whose families co-sign for the line of credit extended. These accounts usually have a limited line of credit. In any case, your family will have to pay your monthly bill while you are away. Many students report using an ATM for everyday cash and credit cards as backup.
Travelers checks can be helpful in case your wallet is lost or stolen, or for an initial monetary amount on opening a British bank account, but are not recommended for everyday use.
Opening a bank account in Great Britain can be a lengthy and tedious process. Therefore, we recommend that students use their American account.
While it is possible to handle all of your money with an American ATM card or by the use of credit cards and travelers checks, some students (especially those who are in Britain for an entire academic year) opt to set up bank accounts. The one drawback to an account is that your deposits of anything other than travelers checks will take some time to clear, despite what your U.S. bank tells you. This should not be a problem as long as you allow ample time (4-6 weeks) for this process and have back-up resources in the form of travelers checks and/or a major credit card. There should be no waiting period if you use travelers checks to set up your account.
To open an account, you will have to provide a letter of reference from your home bank in the U.S., your Arcadia University certification of student status, your passport as adequate identification, a letter from your UK host institution, and proof of your UK residence.
We recommend that you wait until you are in Britain before opening an account. We advise students to open an account with a bank on campus or nearby that has an agreement with the university to handle overseas student accounts. It is extremely difficult for overseas students to open regular bank accounts unless they are dealing with branch offices that are experienced in providing bank services to this special clientele.
You can open a bank account with travelers checks, but for future transatlantic deposits, you may want to consider other options. Transferring money does take some time, but this delay can be shortened if your transfer is made in pounds sterling and if the draft (or cable) can be made out to include your account number at a specific bank, the complete bank branch address, and the bank's 6-digit sort code number.
One way to transfer funds is to purchase a bank draft (inter-bank check) made out in pounds sterling drawn on one of the major London banks. You should be able to obtain a sterling draft from any U.S. Federal Reserve Member Bank. If your own commercial bank at home does not issue sterling drafts, they ought to be able to arrange the purchase through a larger bank with whom they are linked to provide specialized services. The draft should be made "for deposit to the account of –(your name)–." The funds should clear and be credited to your account in about 3-4 weeks (or less). Once you are overseas and your account has been opened, the bank manager can tell you the best way to transfer additional funds from home.
If you deposit any other kind of check (a $U.S. cashier's check or even a sterling draft drawn on an American bank in Britain), it could take as long as three to six weeks to clear and have the money credited to your account. This is because Bank of England regulations require that all signatures on foreign checks be validated prior to the release of the funds. A sterling draft drawn on a London bank can sometimes be negotiated more quickly because the reserves are in escrow and the signatories are known. Any other kind of check must be sent back to the U.S. for signature verification.
After you have established a bank account, funds can be cabled to you by your home bank. This method is fast (usually overnight), but carries a high service charge. In order to send money by wire transfer, your home bank will need the name and address of your UK bank branch, the sort code of the bank (6 digits), and your account number.
When the program is in session, our London office makes emergency loans to students. Students must sign a promissory note and repay the loan as soon as they receive money from home. If you find yourself in dire financial straits while traveling, the State Department can help your family transfer money to you (provided you are a U.S. citizen). To do this, your family must wire money through Western Union or their bank, or send a cashier's check or money order to the State Department in Washington, DC. A trust account is established and a telegram is sent to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate abroad authorizing next workday disbursement to you.

So Who Beats Floyd? Past or Present?

It would take a past legend to beat him from 147 to 154 and even that would not be easy. Today, can't see anyone beating Floyd. From the past, I would say Leonard could do it, probably Hearns as well. Duran, ONLY if he could show what he showed at Lightweight and the first Leonard fight. More than likely, it's a repeat of Duran quitting like in the second Leonard fight. Benitez might hold him to a draw. He kills Curry, Starling, Breland.
Robinson beats him because he was so good there is no second.

In a subject-response talk with RingTV.com, Hearns mulled how Mayweather and Pacquiao would fair against each other as well as against himself, Leonard, Hagler, Benitez and Duran.
Hearns' thoughts on Mayweather:
"Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an excellent fighter. I will give credit where credit is due. I can not take anything away from Floyd Mayweather.
"Floyd Mayweather is a very smart fighter in the ring. He feints well, and he punches pretty good. I mean he's pretty active while he's in there."
On how Mayweather and Pacquiao would do against himself, Leonard, Hagler, Benitez and Duran:
"I think that [Mayweather] would do pretty good. He's got good head movement and I can't put him down. ... I have to give him his props. He could last.
"Manny Pacquiao, I think that he's a pretty good fighter too. I think that he would do well. He would do OK. I think that he would do pretty good."
On what his strategy would be in a fight against Mayweather:
"Against me, I would have to respect him. I think that he could go the distance with me. I would have to out-think him and definitely out-jab him. He's a shorter man, so he can't get to me.
"I would have to keep the jab on him and keep him at a distance and force him to use his head movement all of the time. Somewhere down the line, I would probably hit him with a couple of right hands.
"I would probably get him with a good right hand if not an average right hand. If I was to go to the body, you know that might play into what he is probably trying to do strategically.
"I think that if I got closer to him trying to land a body shot, that would be what he wants. So I think that my best thing would be to stay on the outside and just box him. But I think that he could go the distance with me."
On his strategy against Pacquiao:
"He would definitely have to come to me. I would probably just box him and keep boxing him and look for the shot. Yeah, definitely, I would box him and look for the opening. I would give him a good boxing lesson. [Laughs.]"
On who would win between Mayweather and Pacquiao:
"I would say that it would be an awesome fight between the both of them, but I think that Floyd should win the fight. If Floyd does what he's supposed to do, then I think Floyd wins.
"If he doesn't, then Pacquiao will take over the fight. Manny Pacquiao comes to fight. That's all that he wants to do. But I think that the only way that Pacquiao could win is by knockout of Floyd.
"The way that Floyd is going to win is to out-box Manny Pacquiao and to make Manny Pacquiao fall apart."
On whether either Mayweather or Pacquiao could beat him:
"[Laughs.] Listen, they're good fighters, right? Can't take anything away from those guys. But you know anybody who was in my weight division, you know, I would give them hell.
"They would have to be really fighting hard and be ready to absorb a lot of punches to beat me. Because, you know, I ain't going to let anybody just come in and beat me."

The Billings Chamber of Commerce's annual luncheon was Wednesday. The meeting invited a keynote speaker to discuss important economic trends to help businesses plan for the future.
Rocky Mountain West economist Dr. Larry Swanson says the economy is in the midst of a recovery and expects steady growth. He says the aging population will lead to different consumption patterns and labor force.
"Some opportunities are going to be created for some kinds of businesses while for others, you know, it's going to be a different picture," Dr. Swanson said. "So I think small business people and business people in general are just trying to get a sense of the shape of things going forward"
Swanson says the healthcare and financial services industries will continue to grow. The main change, according to Swanson, will be in construction and real estate because that industry is smaller than before due to the recession.
However, he says Billings is in a position to do well in the future.

Continuing the tradition of doctoral education, Lesley honored its 23 doctoral candidates, the largest class of doctoral students in the university's history
Friday, May 17, 2013
The annual recognition ceremony, held in Marran Theater and followed by a Reception in White Hall, recognized the scholarship of Lesley's 23 Ph.D. candidates this year, the largest doctoral class in the university's history, according to Provost Selase Williams, who addressed the candidates and their friends and families during the ceremony, as did Lesley President Joseph B. Moore.
Moore praised the candidates' commitment to the highest level of scholarship through serious, sustained and substantial research that is meaningful beyond themselves – a dedication that makes them members of "a community of scholars."
"They are impressive as individuals, but even more impressive as a group," said Williams.
Lesley awards doctoral degrees in Educational Studies and Expressive Therapies. The following is a list of the Ph.D. candidates, their dissertations, and their dissertation committee chairs.
Lynn Abrahams: "Finding Voice: An Exploration of College Students with Learning Differences Within the Context of Family." Dissertation Committee Chair: Amy Rutstein-Riley
Kerry Akashian: "Patient to Agent: A Phenomenological Approach to Understanding Emerging Adult Women's Experiences of Entering the Workforce." Dissertation Committee Chair: Amy Rutstein-Riley
Jean-Dominique Hervé Anoh: "The Perceptions of Urban School Principals Regarding the Education of Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders." Dissertation Committee Chair: Stephen Gould

Oh, there are other stories in the game. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-3, to even the NLCS to 1-1 before the series travels to Missouri, and it took a team effort. Edwin Jackson kept them in the game, Jon Jay had three hits and scored three runs, and Rafael Furcal was the only player in the starting lineup who didn't have either a run or an RBI.
But Albert Pujols.
Shaun Marcum is a story, too. The Brewers acquired him with the playoffs in mind, imagining a Gallardo/Greinke/Marcum rotation would do swell in a short series. It worked during the regular season, but Marcum has been awful in his first two playoff starts, and he was awful in his last regular-season start as well. That's a big deal for a team looking for its first World Series win.
Yeah, not the story. Albert Pujols. If I had the clearance and the technological savvy, I would have stopped all this writing nonsense and just changed the front page:
Pujols was 4-for-5 on the night, with a home run, three doubles, three runs scored and five RBI. He struck in the first inning off Marcum, hitting a no-doubt, two-run homer to left field. In the third inning, he got to Marcum again, this time sending a 2-2 pitch over Nyjer Morgan's head for a two-run double. In the fifth, he doubled off Marcum's replacement, Marco Estrada, to drive in a run. He failed to drive in a run with his double in the seventh, but he did manage to score on a Matt Holliday single, the first of five straight Cardinal singles that brought the score to 11-2, and sent millions of people looking for their remotes.
When the Cardinals were leading 5-0 in the fourth, the Brewers clawed back a bit on a two-run homer from Rickie Weeks. The Cardinals got two runs right back in the top of the fifth, though, and when the Brewers loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half of the inning, Weeks grounded into a double play. Replays showed that Weeks was safe, and a run should have scored with the bases still loaded, but that didn't help the Brewers, who never mounted another serious threat.
Jackson pitched 4⅓ innings, allowing seven hits, striking out three, and walking one. A procession of relievers followed, with the only blemish being a kilometer-long home run that Prince Fielder hit to right field off Mitchell Boggs. In theory, it could have been the last swing Fielder ever took as a Brewer in Milwaukee, but the night was bad enough for everyone in Wisconsin. Don't make those poor fans feel worse. I mean, if you have Bud Selig's cell-phone number, you could text it to him to be a jerk, but even that seems a little much.
With the win, the home-field advantage swings to the Cardinals, who will play at least three home games to a possible two more for Milwaukee. Albert Pujols had been relatively quiet in his recent playoff games before the NLCS. It's as if something woke him up.

PAUL SMITHS — Every language on Earth has a word for "mother." An Internet search turns up more than 120 different translations.
The Dutch call her "moeder"; the Hawaiian, "makuahine"; Japanese, "okaasan" or "haha"; and the Bulgarian matriarch is called "majke."
Around the world, Mother's Day is observed in different months, but all consider the day a time to stop and appreciate how special a mother's love is toward her children. Mother's love isn't always easy, though, as some have lived through much tragedy relating to their children.
While the North Country has many women who will be celebrated today, one special woman was the backbone of an Adirondack town, famous and successful businessman, and family.
The Adirondack hamlet of Paul Smiths is named after the businessman, guide and all-around adventurous soul Apollos Austin "Paul" Smith. He was born in Milton, Vt., on Aug. 20, 1825.
He didn't get to the top alone, however. He was married to a young woman by the name of Lydia Martin, who was born in AuSable Forks on Aug. 29, 1834, one of 11 children. Her parents were Hugh and Sarah (Goodell) Martin.
According to information from Historic Saranac Lake, Lydia met Paul after her parents moved to the Adirondack town of Franklin Falls to manage the Franklin House. She had already graduated from Willard Seminar in Troy and was a young woman of social graces.
Meanwhile, Paul, who had moved west from Milton, Vt., was in Loon Lake and built a small hotel called the Hunters' Home. Lydia went to a dance at Loon Lake, and the rest, as they say, is history. It is told Paul was captured by Lydia and wouldn't let anyone else dance with her that night.
Paul received backing from some wealthy hotel guests and moved to Lower St. Regis Lake to construct a new hotel. He spent his summers visiting Lydia and her family at Franklin Falls, walking 18 miles one way. When winter came, he made the trip on snowshoes.

Power Supply
XPS Power Supply
The importance of power supplies has been at the heart of Naim philosophy for over twenty five years. Naim research proved that divorcing the main power supply from a CD player was wholly beneficial, whereas the more common arrangement of housing the converter circuitry in a separate box caused many problems.
Timing, dynamic range and clarity all significantly improve by adding an XPS to a CDX2. Complex passages become more understandable, bringing far more involvement and enjoyment from the music.
The XPS sets the music free, making it an incredibly effective upgrade to the Naim HDX, CDX2, and a critical component of the Naim CDS3.
A huge toroidal transformer and smoothing capacitors provide exceptional dynamic stability.
The Naim XPS is a highly sophisticated power supply with six separately regulated, very low noise outputs, featuring a toroidal transformer and six power regulators. These supplies are branched and re-regulated, some twice in the CD player.
The addition of anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet complement the elegant cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.
This supply is required and comes as standard with the CDS3 but can also be added to the CDX2 CD player, providing a substantial improvement in sound quality and a possible upgrade path from one player to another. It also makes a worthwhile addition to the HDX hard disk player, and Naim DAC where it delivers immediately appreciable performance benefits.
Naim's Discrete Regulator
The XPS was updated in 2012 as a result of a two year project to develop a new discrete regulator (DR) for Naim power supplies. The new Naim DR now features, alongside improvements to the mechanical decoupling and internal layout. These improvements, developed through intensive listening tests, significantly raise performance and make music even more communicative and enjoyable.
The XPS can be used in conjunction with the NDX network audio player to significantly enhance its performance. However, only Classic Series XPS units are compatible with the NDX, not the older Olive Series versions. Olive Series XPS power supplies should never be paired with an NDX network player as this has the potential to cause the Olive XPS to overheat, damaging the product.*
*Please note: this only applies to Olive Series XPS units when paired with the NDX. The old Olive XPS is compatible with CDX and CDS model CD players, the HDX hard disk player and the DAC digital to analogue converter.
For more technical detail on the new Naim Discrete Regulator please read the white paper available.

University College to Host Lecture, Forum On Student Success Aug. 12
Joe Cuseo, professor of psychology at Marymount College in California, will give a lecture and open forum for faculty, staff and students from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.
The program, "Changing the Culture for Student Success: Faculty, Staff and Students Working Together," is part of the University College lecture series. Cuseo, who holds a doctorate in educational psychology and assessment from the University of Iowa, has directed the first-year seminar at Marymount College, a required course for new students, for more than 25 years.
He has been a member of the advisory board to the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, and has received the center's Outstanding First-Year Advocate award. He is also a 13-time winner of the Faculty Member of the Year award on his home campus, which is based on student vote.
In addition, Cuseo has written numerous articles, chapters and monographs on the first-year experience, student success, effective teaching and academic advising. He is the author of the text, "Thriving in College & Beyond: Research-Based Strategies for Academic Success and Personal Development," and he is currently co-writing a book on diversity and the college experience.
For more information about the lecture and forum, call Lisa Mayes in the University College at 683-6746, or Scott Lowe in the Office University Relations at 683-6394.

I have GM credit for Rivalry's End that I was about to apply to a character when I read the boon a little more closely.
You cannot benefit from both this boon and the Triumph of the Lantern Lodge boon.
Does this mean no single character can benefit from the same boon? Or does it mean that you can never have both boons on any of your characters?
When playing a Pregen Caster that prepares spells such as Ezren and Kyra can you change their prepared spells or are you locked into their prepared spells?
Edit: Mind you I'm not asking to swap out spells known or anything like that. Just preparing spells that the characters already have access to, like those from Ezren's spellbook or from the Cleric List for Kyra.

A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.
The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to their CMD to avoid being grappled.
Can a creature take a 5-foot step within the area of a grease spell? I believe it can and heres why I think so.
Very often I've heard that because of the sentence "A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check" That means that the Grease is difficult terrain and therefore you can't 5-ft step. It doesn't say that grease is difficult terrain, as it does in Web, Shifting Sand and Ice Storm. Furthermore walk speed has absolutely nothing to do with your 5-ft step, creatures with movement speeds of both 100 and 10 have the same 5-ft step distance.
When an action type isn't listed for a domain's power is it assumed to be a free action? The Action of the power it replaces? Or are these just errors.

Can Summon Minor Monster summon swarms?
This spell functions as summon monster I, except you can summon 1d3 Tiny or smaller animals, such as bats, lizards, monkeys, rats, ravens, toads, or weasels. The summoned animals must all be the same type of creature. As with animals summoned with summon monster I, you may apply one alignment-appropriate template to these animals.
The only limiting factor in this spell is that all creatures summoned by this spell must be tiny or smaller, animals, and the same creature.
A Venomous Snake Swarm meets all of these requirements.
This question may have (and probably has) been asked before but I can't find any definitive responses that clearly define how the different Aid Another traits and feats interact with one another.
Question 1
For things that actually change the bonus granted by aid another such as the Helpful trait and Improved Aid class feature, do they stack or would they overlap?
From a strict reading I would probably say they wouldn't but I'm not sure.
Question 2
How would something like the Helpful trait that actually changes the bonus from +2 to +4 interact with the Swift Aid feat which already changes the bonus from +2 to +1? Does it overlap again? Are you granting +3 instead?
The whole book is really meh. The classes are all pretty balanced but there is nothing interesting about them, while it was mentioned that they were going to be mash-ups of old classes, I thought they were going to do what paizo has done in the past and put a special twist on them, not just slap together class features from different classes and call it done.

Moving in closer along the periphery of the valley the both of you come into view of this strange ramshackle building. As you get closer you recognize several people carrying up pieces of the building with a number of builders near the exposed top of it assembling those pieces. Most of the external structure appears to be thrown together but as you gain a better vantage you see that it's actually just a ramshackle shell being built around a sturdy frame that peeks out about ten feet beyond the slowly crawling outer wall. As you approach from the south you see the rear end of the structure where it seems a crane is hauling what looks like a very large shiny red circle to the top.
Knowledge Arcana DC 25:
That thing being hauled to the top of the tower seems to be a focus of some kind. Though focuses are not unique to any one school of magic oftentimes the color red is associated with either evocation or transmutation. Most believe this to be a purely symbolic value though a handful in the magic community believe those colors actually facilitate specific types of magic.

Okay so we've kind of been stuck in a rut for a while so I'm going to just skip ahead. After some time tromping through the forest you come to a crossroads, those more familiar recognize tracks going down the right path but not the left. Taking that right path it leads down into a shallow valley a stones throw from the river. At the midsection of this valley sits a village that as you look closer to it's center you begin to see houses and buildings that seem to have been canabalized. In the center of this village stands a structure that has to be at least sixty feet tall and still growing taller, a ramshackle affair of wood, stone, and earth. Figures seem to be walking in and out in neat little lines

Sorry for the week's absence. I should have mentioned it in the OOC but I was doing stuff for Aethercon over the weekend.
Okay, so you leave then? There are two routes of egress, the stony path that leads back to the swamp or another dirt road that continues past the church into the woods at the base of the small hill.

Dolelan paces, eyes on his notebook he speaks while continuing to write in his little notebook.
"As far as I can tell there seems to be no indication that these people here are dangerous, theoretically intelligent undead could follow trends similar to those of orcs, goblins, and other of the more notorious races in that every so often there are those who do not deal in wanton destruction.
Unfortunately signs here point to the worship of what we consider an evil deity, though that also could be debated. Perhaps they are merely acting in interests in direct opposition to ours, from the position of the livestock we slaughter to put food on our tables we would seem like quite the vicious and barbaric civilization.
Sorry, back to the matter at hand. The quick and easy answer is no, they do not seem violent and would probably not cause us trouble in the near future. Acting violently against them would most likely do nothing more than raise their ire, there are far too many of them to be completely sure that they would be all killed by anything short of direct action."

Dear James Jacobs,
I've run into a problem with several ranger archetypes and how they interact with class features that the archetypes don't replace but can no longer function. This thread was posted back in May but it hasn't seen any official response. Could you please clarify if it was intended that certain class features like Freebooter's Bane that replaces Favored Enemy but keeps Quarry or the Infiltrator's Adaptation that replaces Favored Terrain but keeps Camouflage were intentional or just errors?
Dear James Jacobs,
Does the Feral Speech Witch Hex have any duration or limitations other than the type of animal you are speaking to or was it ever intended to have a duration or limitation?
Feral Speech (Su): This hex grants the witch the ability to speak with and understand the response of any animal as if using speak with animals, though each time she uses the hex, she must decide to communicate with either amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, or reptiles, and can only speak to and understand animals of that type. The witch can make herself understood as far as her voice carries. This hex does not predispose any animal so addressed toward the witch in any way. At 12th level, the witch can use this hex to communicate with vermin.
I know this is probably a no brainer but does the feral speech witch hex have a duration, time limit, or daily limit of any kind?

Summon Minor Monster
This spell functions as summon monster I, except you can summon 1d3 Tiny or smaller animals, such as bats, lizards, monkeys, rats, ravens, toads, or weasels. The summoned animals must all be the same type of creature. As with animals summoned with summon monster I, you may apply one alignment-appropriate template to these animals.
Summon Monster
This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider, elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. The spell conjures one of the creatures from the 1st Level list on Table 10–1. You choose which kind of creature to summon, and you can choose a different one each time you cast the spell.
A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities. Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that cannot support them. Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells with expensive material components (such as wish).
When you use a summoning spell to summon a creature with an alignment or elemental subtype, it is a spell of that type. Creatures on Table 10–1 marked with an "*" are summoned with the celestial template, if you are good, and the fiendish template, if you are evil. If you are neutral, you may choose which template to apply to the creature. Creatures marked with an "*" always have an alignment that matches yours, regardless of their usual alignment. Summoning these creatures makes the summoning spell's type match your alignment.
I tried to use summon minor monster to summon 1d3 bats and have them use aid another. I'm a witch with the Feral Speech hex and can communicate, unfortunately the DM said that only trained animals can use tactics. So what exactly are the "Other Actions" you can command things to do if you speak their language?

The scents in the church are not masked, it's just that there are not the normal scents and smells associated with the rotting dead. There are faint odors of cedar and beeswax but no fleshy smells.
The spell effects in place are strangely enough magic circles against evil, the windows make sense but strangely the doors are warded individually. While they are close no creature would be able to approach but anyone able to open the doors pretty much makes the point of warding moot.

Knowledge Arcana would be appropriate in this situation, you know that there are various ways to bring intelligence to inanimate objects, behind you down the steps rests Gul Orne, the tree brought to life by an abundance of magic. Such applications with the proper modifications would perhaps bring about an awakening of intelligence within even a lesser undead (Assuming that you know that some of the higher forms of undead are already intelligent). You also know however that such a feat would prove counter-productive as the most common use for undead is cannon fodder. Intelligent fodder makes about as much sense as an intelligent cow or pig.
