Those are good points about grapple and reposition. Grapple and moving, however, would provoke. While the grapple itself doesn't, the move does. Reposition, however, is definitely a good way to get Jacinth away from the Lotus Dragons' immediate vicinity.
Now that he's armed with all this additional information, I'll let Felos decide exactly what he wants to do and when. :)
Festa Fire wrote:
I've always done it that the check happens first. It lets you survive just a little bit longer. As such, Festa will stabilize when his turn comes up again.
Douena places her hand on the double doors to the right of the stairs and concentrates. Gradually, an image of what lies on the other side becomes apparent to her.
Cracked, faded paintings on the walls of this room depict ancient soldiers fighting snake-headed creatures under bright skies. The stonework beneath the paintings appears damp and is covered with condensation. The ceiling above is decorated with faded solar designs. Light leaks into the room through one spot where the ceiling has partially collapsed.
Knowledge (religion) DC 25:
Various symbols in the solar designs and paintings indicate that this room is dedicated to Nurgal, demon lord of warfare and the sun.
Longspears have reach, so Jacinth was able to get at Rowyn that way.
Felos can grab Jacinth as a move action and then drag him out as a separate move action.
Next Up: Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger, Rowyn, Festa (unconscious), Felos.
Felos swings again at #3, this time connecting with the Lotus Dragon's face and taking him down.
Felos wrote:
Assuming that puts down number 3, he steps into 3's space. Does that put him adjacent to Jacinth?
It does, although he already was adjacent to him. Jacinth is in BB 16 (obscured by #11's token). Do you still want to step forward?
Douena Trestleben wrote:
Ha! Fair point. :)
The journey across the tar pits is relatively easy. At points, the trail is quite narrow, but not so much that it becomes unnavigable. At the front of the ziggurat, a wide flight of stairs leads up to a columned entrance. Rubble litters the steps and vines grow over just about everything. You can only see a portion of the chamber that the steps lead into, but given the rubble, it's clear that portions of the ceiling have collapsed. Plants and more tangled vines grow up through the floor.
In addition to the stairs, you can see two other entrances to the ziggurat. A pair of double doors to the right allow entry to a side section, while to the left, a single door provides entry to another side section.
Douena Trestleben wrote:
If it's Small, Douena can use it, once it's not radiating darkness anymore. It's better than her quarterstaff. For now, give it to Shokambe if he'll carry it; he never fights if he can avoid it. Or Makoa could put it in his pack maybe.
It is Small. Shokambe will happily carry it for now. He'll pack it with his other belongings. He does avoid fighting, it's true. Mainly because he's not very good at it. :)
Jacinth the Bright wrote:
That will indeed stabilize you.
The lotus dragons continue their attacks on Felos. Luckily, no more can get close to him to attack.
Lotus Dragon #3 rapier at Felos: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 -- hit
#3 gets another successful stab at Felos, but the others miss him.
Gut Tugger snarls and delays.
Rowyn returns into the room, stepping past Festa's unconscious form. She looks considerably less hurt than she did before (although not in perfect condition) and the bleeding has stopped. With a muttered incantation, she casts a spell.
Felos Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 -- pass
Felos feels a momentary cloudiness pass over his mind, but he fights it off. With a sigh, Rowyn says to the Lotus Dragons, "Come on, lads, can't you take one cat?"
Another stabilization check needed from Festa.
Next Up: Felos, Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger (subject to delayed action), Rowyn, Festa (unconscious).
Douena Trestleben wrote:
Oops! Yes, good point. It should be two magical auras, one for the darkness effect and one because it's a magical mace. :)
Joana wrote:
I don't mind revealing a few things right away.
The offer of employment from Rowyn is actually scripted. The remaining adventures in the AP even all have sidebars with suggestions on how to modify them if the PCs are working for Rowyn. I'm actually kind of curious to hear about any games out there where the PCs have actually accepted the offer. At any rate, she is supposed to attack you if you say no, but I wanted to make her a little more complex a character than written--particularly regarding the relationship between her and Vanthus. It also had the beneficial side effect of not having you all ganged up upon by a an unbeatable number of Lotus Dragons.
You've actually come very close to dealing with all the inhabitants. Even though there are quite a few areas you haven't explored, you encountered virtually all the occupants at this point, since almost all answer the alarm. The only ones left are the worg (Festa successfully blocked the Lotus Dragons that were on the way to let the Worg out), the spider (which is chained up a few rooms farther in, and one other Lotus Dragon who is specifically written as not responding to alarms. Oh, and the kobold of course.
Unless Tippi turns around and goes back, she should be able to get away alive. If Felos survives the next set of attacks on him, he might make it out alive as well (assuming he also retreats). Things don't look good for Festa and Jacinth though. Alas.
Felos wrote:
It's probably too late, but we could try offering them the treasure from the sea caves. The GM might be merciful...
The GM was being pretty merciful until someone attacked out of the blue. :)
Felos swings and just misses #3.
Next Up: Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger, Rowyn, Festa (unconscious), Felos.
The strength of the magic on the mace is faint.
It's not too difficult to find something to wrap around the mace to block its darkness effect. Pezock is rather fascinated that such a method works. "It's like anti-light," he mutters. "If I ever go back to my crab, I'll have to get something like this on one of the eyes. That way when I open it, it'll plunge the area into darkness. I'll get a magic light effect on the other eye, so I can light things up at night. And if I open both eyes at the same time, it'll cancel the effects. That way, I can surprise people by closing one eye suddenly and plunging them into darkness." He chuckles to himself as you begin moving on.
Who's going to carry the covered or wrapped-up mace?
You continue following the trail, which soon leads to three conical cylinders connected by low, thick walls of piled stone. Boab trees burst from the crumbling structures, their thick roots and branches devouring large chunks of ancient stonework. The walls surround an overgrown courtyard of topple statues, weathered foundations, and a path of broken cobbles winding around large, watery pools.
The trail continues past the structure, while another trail runs north and south from here, winding through tar pits in both directions. To the north, at the far side of the tar pits, you see a multitiered stone ziggurat, large portions of it covered in mounds of vegetation--presumably your destination.
While speaking angrily with Felos, Tippi tries to trip the nearest Lotus Dragon, but Felos himself gets in the way.
Jacinth, please give me a stabilization roll. Thanks.
#13 steps up to Felos (5-ft step to BA 16), while #11 moves around to stand over Jacinth (move to BB 16 via BB 15 to avoid AoO) and #8 moves past Gut Tugger to get at Festa (move to BD 16)
Lotus Dragon #3 rapier at Felos: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 -- miss
Lotus Dragon #1 rapier at Festa, flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 2 = 23 -- hit
The Lotus Dragons unleash their attacks, but most prove unable to get past Festa and Felos's defences. Two manage to get in hits, however, one on Felos and one on Festa.
The dragon-like Gut Tugger goes for Festa (5-ft step to BC 16).
Gut Tugger bite at Festa: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 -- hit
Gut Tugger bites deeply into Festa's side. I believe that will take Festa down. Ouch.
Out of sight, Rowyn does something.
GM Stuff:
2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 7) + 3 = 17
Stabilization check from Festa, please.
Due to the repositioning, Felos can't step to BA 16; however, he can still attack #3. I'll give you the opportunity to decide if you want to change your action.
Next Up: Felos, Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger, Rowyn, Festa (unconscious).
Map Updated
As #9 tries to get in at Festa, Jacinth stabs out with his spear, taking the Lotus Dragon down. Jacinth is then felled by #3 and #6. This negates #9's attack on Festa, which missed anyway, so doesn't make much of a difference.
Festa steps closer to the wall, pulls out a potion and quickly quaffs it down. This momentarily exposes him to attacks from #1 and #6, who take advantage of the opportunity. They lash out with their rapiers, but Festa, still drinking down the potion, gingerly dodges both attacks.
Felos steps forward, pulling out his flail and swinging at #3. He catches the Lotus Dragon on the side of the head, inflicting a nasty wound.
Next Up: Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger, Rowyn, Festa, Felos.
Map Updated
Urza's search (and anyone else who wants to assist him) of the charau-ka finds little of interest on most of them. All any of them carry is a club. Raogru, however, has additional items. He has a holy symbol of Ydersius and a heavy mace, which detects as magical. His hide armour also detects as magical. Finally, he has a spell component pouch and a vial of liquid that detects as magical.
Urza Spellcraft on mace: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 -- fail
In the confined space, Felos's arrow ends up hitting the ceiling and rebounding harmlessly to the floor.
Tippi attempts to trip a nearby Lotus Dragon. The whip wraps around the Lotus Dragon's leg, but doesn't quite get enough of a hold before pulling back. The Lotus Dragon remains standing.
Jacinth moves into the room and strikes at Rowyn with his longspear, piercing her other shoulder.
Their momentary surprise at the sudden attack over, the Lotus Dragons spring into action to protect Rowyn. #3 moves up behind Jacinth (5-ft step to BB 15). #9 moves up beside him (move to BC 15), briefly allowing an attack from Jacinth (Jacinth gets an AoO). #8 and #11 hang back and pull out their hand crossbows and load them. The other Dragons all attack.
#9's attack is only assuming Jacinth's AoO doesn't take him down.
Lotus Dragon #1 rapier at Festa: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 -- hit
Lotus Dragon #3 rapier at Jacinth, flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 2 = 15 -- hit
Two assault Festa, but only the leader gets in a hit on him. Three go after Jacinth and the two on opposite sides of him manage to each score powerful hits, taking him down.
The dragon-like creature, Gut Tugger, attacks Festa.
The beast manages to sink his teeth into Festa's thigh.
Badly hurt and still bleeding, Rowyn flees for the open northwest door.
Rowyn Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 -- success
She rolls under Festa's reach and out the door.
Next Up: AoO for Jacinth, Festa, Felos, Xanthippe, Jacinth (unconscious), Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger.
Felos wrote:
Edit: Okay, if you have the Campaign Aetting, look them up there, since that version makes a lot more sense than the Adventurer's Armoury version.
Ah yes, that does make much more sense. So 1 point per round then. Thanks!
Rowyn Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 -- pass
Festa steps up and punches Rowyn in the gut, momentarily knocking the wind out of her, but not quite having the stunning effect he'd hoped for. She is looking quite hurt, though.
Next Up: Felos, Xanthippe, Jacinth, Lotus Dragons, Gut Tugger, Rowyn, Festa.
Since Rowyn has been chatting away, I'll allow that as a surprise round action for Felos. Do thistle arrows really do their full initial damage as bleed damage (first time I've ever actually seen them in play, so it's never come up before)? That seems a lot. Hmmm...
An arrow suddenly flies at Rowyn, hitting her in the shoulder near the neck. She gasps, utterly shocked that anyone would be so bold. "Wha--?! Kill! Gut Tugger, kill! All of you, kill them!" she screams.
Felos Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Up First: Festa
Map Updated
Tar'kanas flanks with Sasha at that position, so gets an additional +2 to his attack roll. I also have his unadjusted attack as +9 (+6 BAB, +3 Str), which brings his total roll to 17. It makes a difference because in his current prone state, Raogru's AC is exactly 17. :)
Tar'kanas brings his sword down at Raogru. The charau-ka tries to roll aside, but isn't fast enough. Tar'kanas's sword cuts deep, leaving the charau-ka very injured.
#2 continues to do nothing but cower.
Alton flies in (to -B 38) and attacks.
Alton bite at Raogru: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 -- miss
However, as he swoops down, he gets the angle wrong and bites much too high.
Lorenz moves to try to get an unobstructed shot (move to B 32).
Lorenz composite longbow at Raogru, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 1 = 23 -- hit
He lest loose an arrow which flies straight into the charau-ka's forehead. Raogru's shrieking and rolling about immediately stop.
Rowyn smirks. "Clever," she says to Tippi, ignoring Felos. "I suppose you'll have to make sure you don't outlive your usefulness--or if you do, make certain there's no one else I can send after you. But if you're loyal and not too ambitious, I don't see any reason why you'd outlive your usefulness." She sighs and shakes her head sadly. "I get the impression though that we are not going to come to an agreement here. A shame. Good help is hard to find."
She continues in a sterner tone. "Of course, if we can't come to an arrangement, I can't just let you walk out of here and go after my best employee. You've also killed quite a few of my people. I deserve some recompense, surely."
Felos detects a faint aura of evil from Rowyn, but nothing from her pet.
Rowyn actually looks a bit disappointed at Jacinth's outburst. "Vanthus is out taking care of a little matter for me. He won't be back for a few days. Yes, I can understand why you'd be hesitant to work beside a man who's tried to kill you. He's an ambitious man and very good at what he does. He's very useful to me, but there will come a time when his ambition outweighs his usefulness, and that's where you would all come in. Eventually, either I'll tire of him and want to be rid of him, or he'll try to kill me. Either way, I intend to be the one who comes out alive, and you can help ensure that. It will also give you a chance to take your revenge on him. Revenge can be a powerful motivator, don't you think?"
Rowyn raises an eyebrow. "Penkus? He's dead. Killed by zombies in some old tunnels we were considering using at one point. Or perhaps you're going to tell me Vanthus did it, or maybe that Vanthus abandoned him to be killed by the zombies?" She shrugs. "I've often suspected that maybe he did, but really, why should I care? Just shows that Penkus should have been smarter. Now you lot, on the other hand, clearly have been smarter. You bested Vanthus. That's not an easy task. He's a hard man to beat. I could use people like you. Why work for Vanthus's brat of a sister when you could come work for me? I'll double whatever she's giving you. No! Triple! What do you say?"
Urza's magical bolts slam into the prone charau-ka, who continues to shriek in rage.
Sasha hurries round to get an attack in (move to -A 38)
Sasha rapier at Raogru: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 -- hit
Raogru tries to roll aside, but Sasha has the advantage and neatly stabs him in the arm.
"Now we have you," Pezock says, chuckling and moving around Raogru to flank with Makoa (move to A 38).
Pezock sawtooth sabre at Raogru, aid, flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 30 -- hit
He swings his blade down right into the back of the rolling charau-ka, leaving a large gash.
From his prone position and still shrieking, Raogru tries to attack Makoa.
Raogru heavy mace at Makoa, haste, prone: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 - 4 = 15 -- miss
Total damage to Makoa: 18 - 2 damage reduction = 16
Despite his unfavourable position, Raogru still manages to get two hits with his mace on Makao.
Next Up: Tar'kanas, Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa, Mahjik, Douena, Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza, Sasha, Pezock, Raogru.
The Lotus Dragons glance at each other with uncertainty after Festa's introduction. "No carousing," their leader orders.
A couple of minutes pass in silence before the Lotus Dragon who left to fetch Mistress Kellani returns, followed by an imperious-looking woman and a green dragon-like creature. The woman is richly dressed with a rapier at her side. Her bare arms are tattooed, one with a coiled dragon, the other with a lotus.
"So," she says, "you're the ones who outwitted Vanthus, are you?" She shakes her head, more in amusement than disapproval. "I'm Rowyn Kellani, creator, owner, and leader of the Lotus Dragons. What do you have to say for yourselves?"
Leaving Churtle to hide in her room, you make your way back round to the sparring room where this all started. A bunch of the Lotus Dragons wait for you there, spread out around the room in a good position to ambush you. However, while they have weapons drawn, they don't move to attack. Instead, one of them--the one who seemed to be in charge earlier (#1)--steps forward and says, "Mistress Kellani would like to speak to you."
You get your first good look at the room itself. The floor is covered in thick padded mats and there are numerous target dummies positioned along the walls. To the west, a wooden stage sits a foot off the floor. A padded throne flanked by potted plants sits on the stage.
As the darkness recedes, Douena hurries over to help Makoa recover from his wounds.
With prey at last in her sight, Untari leaps at the enemy, gore into the shrieking charau-ka and pulling him off his feet.
Jask delays.
Next Up: Urza, Sasha, Pezock, Raogru, Tar'kanas, Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa, Mahjik, Douena, Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action).
Still shrieking madly, the small charau-ka ducks swiftly under Makoa's massive axe and then away from his sharp teeth. Neither of the half-orcs attack manage to cause any damage.
Mahjik moves up closer, causing the darkness to recede ahead of him, but also eventually for the darkness to reappear behind him. However, Raogru is soon brought into the light, as is Douena.
"Ha!" Pezock exclaims as the charau-ka becomes visible. "Now you die!"
I'll put Douena next in the order since she said she would come off delay as soon as she can see.
Next Up: Douena, Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza, Sasha, Pezock, Raogru, Tar'kanas, Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa, Mahjik.
Tar'kanas moves up beside Urza, while charau-ka #2 continues to lie where he is. Alton flies into the gap in the darkness and up to Sasha (double move to -E 38). Lorenz and Ishirou stay put (delay).
Shokambe waits.
Next Up: Makoa, Mahjik, Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza, Sasha, Pezock, Raogru, Douena (subject to delayed action), Tar'kanas, Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action).
"Hmmm... Maybe around ten or fifteen," the kobold replies. "Plus Rowyn. They come and go a lot. Other surprises? Oh! There's a zombie. Forgot about that because it's new. Rowyn just got it a couple days ago. That's it, I think. Oh, my name is Churtle."
She looks about to say something else, but pauses, apparently having second thoughts about it. But then she seems to decide to go ahead anyway and says to Tippi, "Do you need a new personal assistant? Rowyn will probably be angry at me now, so I'll need a new job. I'm an excellent cook and poison-maker, and I never get the two mixed up."
Joana wrote:
Yeah, I had Kern ask simply because he's not a spellcaster and doesn't know any of the details of how the spells work. He was also confused by Nuri's departure so was trying to think of something to call after her and that was the best he had. :)
While Untari moves closer, Jask continues to wait, and Urza is still reeling from the deafening noise. Sasha and Pezock both move up closer (Sasha to -D 37 and Pezock to -C37). "You see?" Pezock calls out as he moves. "Your foul magic is already failing you!"
With the giant-sized Makoa bearing down on him, Raogru begins shrieking loudly and attacks.
Free action: active "shrieking frenzy" (haste effect).
Total Damage to Makoa: 36 - 4 from damage reduction = 32
With blinding speed, Raogru swings his mace, then again, and again, each time slamming it heavily into Makoa's massive form. He then follows up with a bite into Makoa's thigh.
Next Up: Douena, Tar'kanas (subject to delayed action), Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa, Mahjik, Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza, Sasha, Pezock, Raogru.
The kobold shrugs. "They don't like intruders. Don't know how you can get in peacefully because they'll probably try to kill you. I feed the worg, but Rowyn acquires the food herself. I'm not allowed to do anything with it except give it to him. I'll take some food round to him soon. If you let me live, I mean."
Douena Trestleben wrote:
20-foot radius of normal light with a 20-foot halo of dim, I believe. But unless you're within that 40-foot-radius, you can't see the light because you're still in the darkness area, I think? Ought to put Pezock, Sasha, and Lorenz in dim light, and they and Mahjik can see each other and the dead snake and Big Makoa but not Raogru, if I'm counting squares right.
In this case, however, it cancels out the darkness and is similarly cancelled out by the darkness. In the area where they overlap, there is just the natural light levels, which happen to be normal light. There'll be no difference between normal or dim in this case.
Mahjik pulls out his everburning torch and hurries to the edge of the darkness effect. As the light from the torch touches the darkness, the darkness recedes to be replaced by the normal light from the cloudy sky above. Once Mahjik reaches his destination, most of the northwestern portion of the darkness is cancelled out. Only Douena and Raogru still remain in the dark.
Next Up: Untari, Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza (stunned), Sasha (subject to delayed action), Pezock (subject to delayed action), Raogru, Douena, Tar'kanas (subject to delayed action), Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa, Mahjik.
"That's okay," the kobold responds to Festa. "I wasn't expecting you either."
"The spider does," she says in response to Tippi. "It's on a big chain in the room before Rowyn's office. She pulls the chain in to let guests in and out, but loosens the chain to stop intruders. Gut Tugger--that's the dragon--he stays with Rowyn and goes wherever she goes. He's not really a dragon. He's actually a drake or something like that, but he looks like a dragon, except smaller, so everyone calls him a dragon."
Makoa bears down on Raogru, biting into his shoulder. The charau-ka screeches with anger.
Next Up: Mahjik, Untari (subject to delayed action), Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza (stunned), Sasha (subject to delayed action), Pezock (subject to delayed action), Raogru, Douena, Tar'kanas (subject to delayed action), Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Makoa.
"That way." The kobold points to the west. "Through the room where they practise fighting. Big spider guard though. And nasty dragon pet."
Jacinth keeps watch by the kitchen door. So far, he hears nothing come from the other side except the ongoing twitter of the birds and that is calming down. Nothing tries to open the door.
Since Urza moved, there was no need for Raogru to move (as he only moved to get Urza in range of his spell), so I've moved him back to where he was. The sound burst spell was centred on Urza, so no longer catches Lorenz in the effect, but it does catch Douena instead. We'll keep the same damage roll as before and transfer Lorenz's Fortitude roll to Douena. Adjusting to her Fortitude bonus, the roll becomes a 21 which will pass. She is not stunned. Tar'kanas is no longer in darkness, but otherwise everything else happens the same way.
Charua-ka #2 remains huddled on the ground, covering his ears at the sounds of explosions.
Alton squawks with uncertainty and begins flying around the darkness in search of both an enemy and Sasha (double move to -N 38).
Lorenz and Ishirou wait (both delay).
Shokambe delays.
I'll assume Douena delays again (since she can go at any time anyway).
Next Up: Makoa, Mahjik, Untari (subject to delayed action), Jask (subject to delayed action), Urza (stunned), Sasha (subject to delayed action), Pezock (subject to delayed action), Raogru, Tar'kanas (subject to delayed action), Charau-ka #2, Alton, Lorenz (subject to delayed action), Ishirou (subject to delayed action), Shokambe (subject to delayed action), Douena (subject to delayed action).

The general consensus is that Apple will unveil its next smartphone at its September 9 event.
The FMP-X10 is Sony's second-generation 4K media player, equipped with a 1TB hard drive, access to hundreds of 4K movies, and Netflix's 4K streaming service. It will debut in July for $699, although customers who pre-order can save $200.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
This cheap Android notebook hits a low price point by apparently sacrificing, well, everything.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
Although the MediaPad X1's software is unquestionably clunky, it still has a lot going for it. If you're struggling to decide between buying a new phone or a new tablet, the X1's 4G LTE capabilities make it a fair compromise.
If you can stand its speakers, Sony's XBR-X900B will reward you with the best combination of audio and video quality you've ever seen (or heard).
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.

Guild Wars 2 players will be happy to know that the long-awaited April 2014 Feature Pack has now arrived for ArenaNet's buy-to-play MMO, bring a number of updates "focused on features and game systems."
The features are large and the patch notes even larger, all of which are available free of charge as per the usual Guild Wars 2 content system. Of note, changes include account-wide wardrobes that will make it easier to customize your look at any time and to share cosmetic items across all the characters on your account, the introduction of megaservers (only in level 1–15 maps, main cities, and the PvP lobby) and of course a huge amount of social play improvements plus class changes.
All this and more can be read through the April 2014 Feature Pack splash page, with the rather large patch notes available over here. According to ArenaNet we can expect these rather large feature packs to become the norm in-between living world releases, so expect the next one sometime next year if history is to repeat itself.

A tad too conservative and calculated. CGI delivers best on moody sets and a noirish atmosphere achieved by lighting, backgrounds and visual effects. But the characters look like plastic dolls, and the story is recycled sci-fi. show more

All I can say is that the movie is not as good as the first two live action TMNT movies. It at least is not like TMNT3. I give it 3 out of 5.

Whomever it was that argued that Splinter's voice wasn't properly cast; You are way off. I'm curious as to who you would have chosen instead. The late (died 7/06) great Mako was an extremely smart choice as he has an immense background in voice over character roles, and almost 80 live-action films. His latest work was in "Avatar: The Last Airbender" as "Uncle Iroh", which is the smartest, best written cartoon/animation out there on cable television. I'm not even a "TMNT" fan and I initially went to see the movie because I knew he was the voice behind Splinter. Luckily I walked out of the theatre accompanied by my fanboy boyfriend and 6 y/o son in tow with a fantastic movie still reeling in our heads. The older generations who lack imagination or any kind of child-within is unfortunately detached from the fun or funny stuff aside from giggling at the neighbors bad curtains while secretly screwing their husbands, or an old fart popping pills and drinking whiskey walking around as elitist as he can be, Mr.Schmutzncrotch.

Canada's most populous province will hold an election June 12, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said today, after opposition leaders announced they won't support her budget.
Ontario's deficit will swell for a second year as the Liberal Party increases spending on transit, schools and hospitals in a bid to spark a stagnating economy even as it raises taxes by almost C$1 billion ($910 million).
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan's tax panel recommended a reduction in aviation fuel tax as part of its fiscal 2011 reform proposals, Nikkei English News said, without citing anyone.
John Leahy, chief operating officer at Airbus SAS, spoke yesterday about the outlook for global aircraft demand. The world's largest maker of commercial aircraft said airlines will buy 25,000 planes worth $3.1 trillion over the next 20 years, buoyed by Asian sales and increased demand for single-aisle models. The forecast is 3 percent higher than the 24,300-aircraft, 20- year requirement predicted by Toulouse, France-based Airbus in February 2008. Laurent Rouaud, senior vice president of market and product strategy, and Stefan Schaffrath, head of media relations, also spoke at the news conference in London.
Vitol Group agreed to pay about A$2.9 billion ($2.6 billion) for Royal Dutch Shell Plc's Australian refinery and filling stations as Europe's largest oil company accelerates asset sales.
BP Plc, the U.K.'s biggest oil company, bought aviation-fuel assets in Brazil from Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Cosan SA Industria & Comercio for $100 million.
Japan's two biggest airlines are poised to import jet fuel for the first time in at least six years as the country's shrinking refining capacity pushes up domestic prices.
United Airlines Inc. used a "sham" site outside Chicago to avoid paying the full tax on jet fuel, the Illinois Regional Transportation Authority said in a lawsuit.
Qantas Airways Ltd. and Solena Group Inc. agreed to examine the feasibility of building a waste-based aviation fuel plant in Australia.
Nigeria's domestic airlines will raise their fares by 20 percent because of an impending jump in the price of aviation fuel, the Guardian reported , citing Steve Mahonwu, chairman of the Airline Operators of Nigeria.

Outside hitter Alex Johnson will return to her hometown of Tampa for the first time in her collegiate career.
Nov. 4, 2011
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University volleyball team will travel down to Tampa to play their last road game of the season against the South Florida Bulls. This will also be the first time freshman outside hitter Alex Johnson (Tampa, Fla./Plant) will play in her home town in her collegiate career.
The Hoyas are 14-10 on the season and 6-5 in the BIG EAST conference. South Florida is 9-14 on the season and 5-5 in conference play.
Johnson leads Georgetown in kills, total attacks and points. She has 281 kills on 868 attempts and 315 total points on the season. She and the other freshmen have made significant contributions to the Hoyas' side of the net. She has embraced her role and is grateful for having two mentors that push her to be a better player.
"Brooke (Bachesta) is one of the hardest workers I've ever played with, and being in the same position as her has encouraged me to work harder to get better as well. She's a great role model. Annalee (Abell)'s determination and competitive spirit is extremely admirable. No matter what we're doing whether it's just practicing or playing in games, she always wants to win, and it helps me to always stay competitive."
Despite the homecoming for Johnson, Head Coach Arlisa Williams expects a fierce team in the Bulls to show up Sunday afternoon and stall the Hoyas' four -game winning streak.
"South Florida is a tough team, and they have a tough gym to play in. They play in an electric gym called the Corral. It's loud, there are cheerleaders, and the bull is running and amplifying the crowd, and they are on top of you. It's going to be a tough but fun and exciting environment.
"They're a well coached team. Their coach has done a great job with that team down in Tampa, and they have a very good outside, a good right side and an extremely effective middle. Some positions will present some challenges, but I'm confident in our defense to match up well with them. And they have enough depth where they can create very different rotations throughout sets. We'll just need to adjust to some changes on the fly and take care of our side of the net."
Transitioning from Connecticut to Seton Hall and from Seton Hall to Rutgers, Williams emphasized taking care of "our side of the net" and playing low-error volleyball to not only stay in the game, but ultimately win.
"Seton Hall was fifth in the BIG EAST at the time of the match. They have a very talented freshman setter, outside and a stud of a senior on the right side. However, the coaching staff just stressed being a low-error volleyball team and defending our half of the court, and if we can do that, regardless of the outcome, I was going to be a happy coach. But we won, so I was an extremely happy coach.
"Rutgers was a tough one. We had yet to win at Rutgers in my time at Georgetown, and they were a scrappy team and can defend their house extremely well. I just told the players to play low-error again and taking care of our side of the net. One of the points I stress heavily is five errors or less per set will equate to a victory. Games one and two contained five unforced errors or less, games three and four had six, and game five had four. Those are the games we won. If we can have at most five errors, that's 20 points the opponent has to tally, which is hard to do because we have a strong defensive team."
The Hoyas are coming off of two consecutive weekend sweeps, one at home and one on the road, against four competitive teams. The Hoyas defeated the St. John's Red Storm October 21 in four sets, and then beat the Connecticut Huskies in five on October 23. They then went on the road to New Jersey to beat the Seton Hall Pirates and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in five sets this past weekend.
Both games were poised to be Georgetown sweeps after taking the first two sets in overwhelming fashion, but the teams came back and took games three and four, as Williams was quoted saying it's attributable to not playing low-error volleyball. The final set in both games was in Georgetown's favor as they went on early and overpowering runs that they didn't relinquish at any point in the games.
Senior captain libero Tory Rezin (Morris, Ill./Morris) became Georgetown's official all-time leader in digs Friday night against the Pirates. She has 356 on the season and needed 17 to break the record and amassed 19 in the winning effort. She attained another 12 Sunday afternoon to extend the number to 1,590 in her career, and still has three games left to play The digs record was in place since 1992.
Senior setter Ashley Malone (San Jose, Calif./St. Francis) heavily improved her chances to take the all-time assists record. She has 960 on the season and 3,424 assists in her career. She is 162 shy of breaking the record of 3,585 set in 2004.
Rezin, Malone and Johnson are first through third in digs and assists along with being first, second and fourth in service aces. Freshman middle blocker Dani White (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) is fifth in the conference with a .311 hitting percentage, and also has four assists, five service aces, 32 digs, 10 block solos, 82 block assists and 264 total points on the season.
Georgetown will return to McDonough Arena to host the Cincinnati Bearcats and Louisville Cardinals Friday, November 11 and Sunday, November 13. These will be the last two games of the Hoyas' season before potentially playing in the BIG EAST Tournament in Milwaukee, Wis.

The sentencing for a Waterloo man convicted of second degree murder has been delayed.
22-year-old James Farnsworth II was to be sentenced in Cerro Gordo County on February 26.
However, a scheduling conflict for his lawyer caused the date to be delayed to March 5.
A jury found Farnsworth guilty of killing Ian Decker after a fight. Decker was later found lying outside Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa where he later died.

Re: What's the difference? Help route planning.
We bought our boat in Bellingham. Fairhaven Marina is pretty close to downtown (maybe a 20 minute walk?). I don't think I saw a good place to anchor nearby, but there is a ton of moorage. Looking at a map seems to confirm this, everything protected has been turned into moorage. I think it's worth a visit if you've never been, it is a nice liberal small city with a lot of college students.
I see what you are talking about with the Gulf Islands, but it seems like there are wide channels if you pick your routing carefully. We might just have different preferences here, one of my favorite things about sailing in the San Juans is using the currents to my advantage.
boats that I sail on regularly: Pearson 28-2, Rondar 505, Yankee 30, Blanchard Junior

I love this argan oil!!!!! I have break-out prone, sensitive combination skin and while I don't have horrible acne, it has never gone away and is such an issue for me. My skin is also very blotchy and is the lightest shade in almost every foundation (even lighter than MAC's Pro LongWear Concealer at NC15). Anyway, when I bought the travel-size version of this lightweight moisturizing oil I immediately tried it on. When I woke up, my skin was softer and not as oily and my acne had become visibly clearer. I used it in the morning as well and it quickly absorbed into my skin, leaving a dewy, glowy finish. It worked well under my primer and makeup and I didn't have to reach for my oil-blotting sheets once (which has never happened before). All I use each time is one drop in my palm and with my other fingers, touch it to different parts of my face and pat it gently in. It has been four days and I only have a few pimples still visible. I am using less concealer as well. The smell is also glorious and light, so fresh and beautiful. I used the original and the argan oil with radiance and honey lavender chamomile scent (which smells horrible, btw) and both felt heavy and left my face greasy and oily-looking. It also (maybe?) broke me out and helped in no way with my sebum production. This lighter version, in huge contrast, feels weightless and I feel like a goddess. My only complaints would have to be that it is REALLY expensive and, as I was expecting, there is definitely not enough in the bottle. But I am definitely going to purchase the full size (hopefully on sale) when I complete my current bottle and repurchase it when that is used up. I can't wait to wash my face and put more on!!!!!! Definitely buy this product!
Broke me out in cystic acne like no other. I have very dry, sensitive skin, with the occasional breakout. However, I only ever usually breakout when I use a certain product that my skin does not agree with, or when it's around that time of the month. This is definitely a product that broke me out ! Such a shame because I had really high hopes after seeing rave reviews online and on youtube. I put it on before bed and loved the feeling of it, it felt very hydrating and smooth. However, when I woke up I noticed 2 new small spots. I didn't think much of it because they were very small, however they got MUCH worse throughout the day, and this was the only change in my routine. I now have a massive cystic spot right in the middle of my forehead that is so swollen it looks like I got hit with a volleyball ... lol. But it's really not that funny because as we all know cystic acne is super painful. Wouldn't recommend putting this on your face, especially if you're acne prone. Such a bummer, I really wanted to like this !
I love this so much. I have oily/combo skin that breaks out easily. This oil is the perfect nighttime moistuizer for me - it leaves my skin soft and hydrated, yet never greasy - and from months of using it, it's never broken me out. HG.
This stuff made me finally love my skin after 14 years with acne! Doesn't Break my cystic-acne prone skin out yay!!!! Even Neutrogena, Aveno, Avene, Cetaphil, Clarins, Clinique, Murad, Eucerin; everything flares me up.
I was scared of putting argan oil on my acne prone jaw line but slowly incorporated it and have not broken out. Actually after putting this on any tiny spots they are healing faster, and leaving no scars??? It also absobs quickly.
How I use: At night, after washing face, pat dry, and apply. I now use liberally with no breakouts! I pat all over my face, eye area, and neck.
I was using daytime as well, but I don't because it causes my eyebrow makeup to smudge.
Using at night is enough and my makeup goes on smooth in morning. It has balanced my skin out, it no longer gets oily. The Best moisturizer.
Update 7/2014: Still no brake outs :) I even bought the Original formula for my eye area.
Just 1 natural ingredient :)
My skin looks dewy, not oily. I don't use as much cover up, I can't belive my skin has improved so much. I stopped using a $100 eye cream I picked up in Japan which unfortunately was the only thing on earth that didnt break me out until now.
Everyone's skin is different so to see if your skin will break out try it on your chest area first. You can always save receipt and return used product.
This Review is long incase it helps someone with acne issues like mine.
Oils that break me out: Coconut oil, jojoba, almond, lavender, castor, mineral, olive, Shea butter is terrible; an acne wash with it made my skin amazing for a few weeks then bam! cysts that I hadn't had in years.

This was an impulse purchase of a mini bottle from the Sephora impulse-purchase section by the register. It made my face (combo, mostly oily this time of year) feel incredibly greasy and never absorbed into my skin, but I have to say it does work fairly well on my hands and hair. I don't know that I like it enough to go buy another bottle, though. YMMV.
To me this is just a regular oil. Didn't wow me at all and definetly not worth the price.
I bought a bottle of this light argan oil from Sephora in the hopes that it will treat my dry, flaky cheeks caused by Retin-A. After using two drops at night for three consecutive days, I developed three pimples after being acne-free for two years! It is really unfortunate because I love what it did for the rest of my face - my skin feels smoother and the flakes are gone entirely. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy finish. For those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, it may be better to invest in a sample first.

Ever since I moved to the most humid place on the planet (Florida). My skin turned really really oily in my t-zone. And had been on the hunt for something that would keep the oil off my face then one of my favorite youtubers (who also lives in Florida) was raving about this oil to moisturize her face. But I'm oily I thought, her next sentence was, even if your oily- oil fights oiliness. I was still really hesitant but Josie maran products aren't tested on animals and I had been trying to find a lot more natural skin care products so I said what the hell and went and got the smallest bottle in the light formula from sephora. Wow she was right! Never has my skin been this soft and not oily. Really really glad I took her advice. I pat (don't rub) it into my skin at night after I cleanse and I wake up with the most amazing skin. Really recommend.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This review is for people who like argan oil and wonder how the Light compares to the original. I love Josie's original argan oil and use a lot of her excellent products (Ex: the cheek gelees, powder foundation, body butter). Not everything hits it out of the park but even though I have oily/combo skin I argan oil has lots of Vitamin E in it, so if I get a little extra skin care in my makeup (for whatever it's worth) that doesn't break me out, why not? It can't hurt.
Anyway! I bought the Light formula so I could use it on my face this winter, as it's been so brutal even I need extra moisture. Also I wanted my skin to get some extra antioxidants and wanted to see if the Light would actually sink in, giving me the benefits. But I don't see much difference between this and the original version!
On very dry days, I take one drop and use that for my undereyes at night. Or apply a drop to any places that seem tight on my face. I also use it on my hands and cuticles, mix a few drops in my lotion, add a dropper to my bath. It really does make your skin sooo soft! It just feels so relieved and soothed after I take my bath and use the JM body butter.
However, applying straight argan oil on your face when it's already oily is a whole other animal. If you have oily skin, why put more oil on your face, despite the claims that it could balance you out? When I put the argan oil on my t-zone, even the smallest amount, what happens is I wind up having all this extra oil sitting on my face, even with the Light formula. It won't sink in, because I already have a layer of oil my skin makes naturally! It's basically a waste of product. I use the sunscreen, as I mentioned and that's more than enough for me. I'm not that oily, so if you're super oily, don't bother putting this on your face. It would be totally redundant.
Dry-skinned ladies, your skin will say, "Ahhhh!" but I see no reason you shouldn't go with the original version. If you have cracked hands or feet, or any super dry areas, grab your argan oil and party on. But if you're oily, go easy, even with the "Light" version.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the small bottle at Sephora to try it. Its ok and does not irritate the skin or give breakouts but its not miraculous either. I dont think its moisturizing enough to use on its own during winter. I use it like a serum under my night cream. Even if its the light version, it makes the skin really shiny so I would never use it during the day. It penetrates pretty quickly and doesnt feel sticky. I tried the original version a few years ago and I liked it but not enough to rebuy it. You can find cheaper alternatives if you really want to use Argan Oil (in natural products stores). I think Argan is a very good oil but its a trend and its overhyped!

|Iranian interior minister visits Pakistan for talks on security deal
TEHRAN – Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli left Tehran for Islamabad on Monday to hold talks with Pakistani officials on implementation of security agreement.
He is planned to hold talks with Pakistani officials about the security agreement to draw up strategies for its implementation.
In February 2013, Iran and Pakistan signed a security agreement according to which both countries are required to cooperate in combat against terrorism and drug smuggling.
On Monday, Rahmani Fazli said Iran and Pakistan enjoy good relationship and nothing impedes the two countries to expand ties.
He added both countries' officials are determined to develop ties.
Iran considers Pakistan's security as its own, the minister said, adding that the interior ministries of the two countries to maintain security at common borders.
Jaish al-Adl, a terrorist group, kidnapped five Iranian border guards on February 6 and took them into neighboring Pakistan. Four of the kidnapped were freed in early April. However, the fate of one of the guards remains in mystery as the group claims it executed him.
During his two day visit to Pakistan, Rahmani Fazli, is scheduled to meet with the Pakistani president, prime minister, foreign and interior ministers to discuss bilateral ties and security issues.

Venezuela has well over 200 billion barrels of oil in reserve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Venezuela
That was my assumption as well.
Maybe you are having difficulty understanding the nature of public forums. Everyone is allowed to post here. If you want to control who is allowed to post and who is not, then create your own private forum.
If everyone followed that advice it would be a very quiet world.
Thanks for the info, but there's no need to bash other posters.
How do you know the panel declined their evidence?
Seems reasonable. The hearing was in the 'quantum' phase, so any evidence submitted was most likely related to the amount of the award.
Bribery and/or threats generally do not bode well for one's case, so I think it is very unlikely.
Here's the full quote: ""The closure of the proceedings by the ICSID tribunal signals the end
of the parties' presentation of their case and the tribunal's determination that it does not require any
further information from the parties. Typically, ICSID tribunals issue the final award soon after declaring the proceedings closed. The closure of the proceedings is a welcome development. It marks the end of a five-year effort by counsel, technical, legal and financial experts and Company personnel to present Gold Reserve's claim against Venezuela. Gold Reserve now looks forward to receiving the tribunal's award."
Hopefully it means we won't be waiting more than a few days for the ICSID to render their decision.
Article 44
Closure of the Proceeding
(1) When the presentation of the case by the parties is completed, the proceeding shall be declared closed.
(2) Exceptionally, the Tribunal may, before the award has been rendered, reopen the proceeding on the ground that new evidence is forthcoming of such a nature as to constitute a decisive factor, or that there is a vital need for clarification on certain specific points.
Just a gut feeling. For both parties it might be the cheaper and more expedient option. But like backdoc90 says, you have to consider the incompetence factor of the Venezuelan administration.
Never. There will be a settlement.

Control of marestail in no-till soybeans
• The addition of dicamba to early spring burndown treatments can improve control or emerged marestail, especially plants that have overwintered. Dicamba can be more effective than 2,4-D on marestail in the spring, but has more potential to injure soybeans if the recrop guidelines are not followed. Following dicamba application, soybeans can be planted 14 to 28 days after an inch of rain has occurred (in total). For example, the Clarity label states the following - "following application of Clarity and a minimum accumulation of one inch of rain, a waiting interval of 14 days is required for rates of 8 oz/A or less.
3. Include residual herbicides with the burndown treatment. Add one of the following herbicides or herbicide combinations to the burndown herbicides, for residual control of marestail until the soybean leaf canopy develops.
- Valor, Valor XLT, Envive, Enlite, Fierce, or Gangster
- Authority First, Sonic, Authority XL, Authority Broadleaf, Authority Assist, Authorit Maxx, or Spartan
- Metribuzin - Metri DF, Tricor, etc (at least 8 oz/A, and preferably 10 to 12 oz/A), but do not exceed recommended rate for soil type per the label.
- Add metribuzin to other metribuzin-containing products to bring total metribuzin rate to 0.38 to 0.5 lbs ai/A. Products here include: Boundary/Ledger, Canopy/Cloak DF, Intimidator, Matador, Authority MTZ.
- Most consistent control of ALS-resistant populations will occur with rates of these products that maximize the amount of the non-ALS component - flumioxazin, sulfentrazone, or metribuzin.
- Consider adding 4 to 6 oz/A of metribuzin to products that contain flumioxazin or sulfentrazone to improve burndown and residual control. In OSU research, this has been a more consistent approach than relying on any one herbicide.
- Where early spring application is needed due to lack of a treatment the previous fall, increase herbicide rates and consider more complex mixtures (or consider split spring approach - see below). Adding metribuzin to other products can help. Sharpen can be added to early spring treatments of metribuzin to improve residual control, especially at the 1.5 to 2 oz/A rate. These rates must be applied 14 to 44 days before soybean planting, depending upon rate and soil type.
4. No fall treatment? - consider split-spring applications. Failing to treat fields in the fall can result in a population of overwintered marestail plants the following spring, which should be controlled early in spring to ensure effective burndown. Applying all of the burndown and residual herbicide early can result in poor control of plants that emerge mid-season. An alternative approach is to apply burndown herbicides with some of the residual herbicide in early spring, and then when soybeans are planted, apply the rest of the residual herbicide. The second application may require some additional burndown herbicide. Examples here include:

Write Novel's First Line To Guarantee Sales
Start the composing with conflict if you would like to guarantee sales, grab an agent or publisher, receive paid a big advance. Your protagonist wants anything plus the antagonist would like to block it. If you wish To become the publisher's star-of-the-month, merely hand out a sturdy dosage of conflict proper up front. Bold like. Next, they're wrapped up inside a story plus it's too late for those to escape. Trust me, visitors, agents plus publishers will consider composing with a sturdy dosage of conflict because advantageous fortune for their organization. Readers won't wish To place it down. The big guys really would pat we found on the head plus pay we a six-figure advance.
As conflict is really necessary to advantageous writing, whether it's fiction, or nonfiction, children's books or memoir, it might help the attention-getting cause. I recommend we begin practicing the art of composing conflict today for a openings. Read the examples plus write the own:
· James moved inside willing to crash plus that's whenever he saw the monster. (Antagonist would like to take protagonist's calm time away)
· Whenever I moved inside, Emily had about my favorite blouse I was going to wear tonight. She stood there striving to apologize for tearing it.(Antagonist has blocked protagonist from wearing her favorite blouse tonight.)
· Jimmy worked 10 hours at 10 $ an hr, plus today John was suggesting he was meaningless, he wasn't going to pay. (John would like to take Jimmy's earning away).
The sentences are off the best of my head plus I don't consider them deep or anything. However remember, my job is to create the big, foreign sounding aspects easy. My sentences show characters inside conflict. You are able to "feel" the tension. The protagonist wants anything plus a antagonist would like to take it away. The antagonist might not even be a individual. It can be a rock up against the door, keeping a protagonist from escaping the bad man.
In my novel, The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires, the mayor's young spouse would like to change the image of a internal city by generating it the Black Camelot; her antagonists like to destroy the incubator idea which can create which result.
It is conflict which grabs the reader's attention. Eighty % of all visitors continue to read due to conflict. If there is not a conflict, the story lies flat found on the page, it falls aside plus loses the reader's interest. It's yawning-kind-of dull. Whenever conflict is present, visitors perk up plus wade from bad syntax, misspelled words, structure imperfections, plus boring dialogue to obtain out how the conflict ends. I'm not recommending which we overlook any piece of the composing craft, though. It's merely which conflict is regarded as the strongest ingredients of superior writing, plus all too usually you lose the reader's attention considering you overlook which writing tool.
So, whenever you need to grab an editor, an agent, or perhaps a publisher's favor, only enable those to feast about gripping conflict within the first line plus see a story rises from the slush pile to improved sales.
In the Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires, the story opens with 2 unknown characters, whispering inside what appears like a clandestine spot. The host balls the newspaper inside rage plus throws it found on the dark lumber table. We see it states: Council Upset Rumored. Then the customer thrust his head from the shadows plus states which "In my nation, his type disappears without a trace." He would like to take out the mayor; his opposition would like to fix the condition before the council meeting.
In The End Justifies The Means, the protagonist, Jalen, is struggling to sleep; his parents are having a violent argument. He wants those to stop it; they receive louder.
In the Color Purple, Celie's baby is happy for providing birth to her baby; the antagonist, her dad, is taking the baby to provide her away. She is screaming, "No!" The dad is absolutely gone.
Agents plus publishers are trained to know conflict, plus they search for it. So take benefit of which today. Write conflict inside a initially line for practice.

You Made It Weird #135: Dane Cook
By Katie Levine on March 20, 2013
Dane Cook makes it weird!
Follow @peteholmez on Twitter and Like the show on Facebook. Buy YMIW shirts and Pete's album "Impregnated with Wonder"!
Please stop bringing up the Oedipal stuff it is excruciating to listen to
The GoDaddy thing is weird since Nerdist uses Hover.com for domain names and I dunno who for website hosting.
Strangely enough, I'm looking forward to hearing this episode. Dane Cook annoys the heck out of me but I'm willing to give him a chance.
Dane Cook? Really? Dane Cook? Oh, this should be interesting. (And the GoDaddy sponsorship of the episode is strangely appropriate.)
Ugh, I have no respect for Dane Cook. And after TJ Miller's comments last year, way more respect for Miller
I love you Nerdist and Chris, I really do… but GoDaddy? Really? I'm sure there are a million better companies that would support you. Try Think Geek or Host Gator or Blue Host… not a company that doesn't care about its customers.

Peter's Savory Cake
Author Notes: Breakfast at my home is usually oatmeal, eggs or Indian breakfast like "idli" or "dosa" "upma" which are savory in nature. One day, my husband asked whether I could make him a single breakfast dish that would include vegetables, eggs, cheese and nuts.
After doing some online research, I decide to use Dorie Greenspan's basic Savory Cake and then add a French-Mediterranean influence by using a combination of cheeses like feta and chevre which go well with olives and the sundried tomatoes.
