Did you see Mark's latest creation?
Just 3 left. Apologies to the custom haters, but this is pretty ******* cool.
Well, I go to Disneyland probably twice a month so I can pick this up for anyone. Please note that if you have me pick this up, I can't return it if you change your mind. Your committed.
I asked about that and one of the supervisors told me that they do it intentionally to make people think they're on clearance.
EDIT: I'd like to add on that I know that the DCSH line was really only Batman & Superman characters. I can imagine that might be a primary reason that DCUC is more highly regarded due to its diversity, but thought I'd see if there was something else I'm missing.
Is Teek actually a part of this? I've never been on the ride.
My wife got us tickets to see Star Wars in Concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim for my birthday!
I haven't really paid attention to any of the deals out there for BluRay because I never had a player. I've been extremely frugal on my standard DVD's and I think I've only paid full price for some of the Disney flicks I own.
What would be a good movie to "experiment" with the quality between a standard disc and BR? Heck - I'd just like to see what a DVD looks like upconverted. Still haven't hooked up my PS3 yet...
So CaptainYoda, you're buying for everyone right?

We told you a few weeks ago that Kansas City Chiefs CB Javier Arenas was in his home in Tuscaloosa when the terrible tornado hit last month. We also told you that Arenas had driven to Kansas City to get supplies to bring back to those effected.
What we didn't know, however, is that Javier is still down there helping out. Check out this nugget from Peter King's MMQB:
One fact Anderson couldn't fit in the story, from Tinker: When he was born, in Decatur, Ala., the hospital had to be evacuated and he and his mother moved because of a severe tornado threat in the area.
And one NFL-related thing: Anderson had nothing but praise for SI cover subject Javier Arenas, the Chiefs cornerback and former Alabama star whose home was shredded during the tornado. "He's been in the thick of it every day, helping whoever needs to be helped," Anderson said of Arenas. "No PR people telling him what to do — just a good man doing what needs to be done in the middle of a disaster."
The Chiefs may have just drafted some guys that have some character concerns but with guys like Arenas already on the team, you can't help but think that the new guys are walking into the perfect situation. We cheer for these guys for what they do on the field but it makes it extra special when we can cheer for them for what they do off the field as well. Guys like Brian Waters, with his dozens of charities and now Arenas, make me proud to be a Chiefs fan.

Today's the first day I'm going to be trying to work with the Surface Pro 3 extensively. So far, I think most of the time will be spent tweaking pressure curve settings to get it to be as close to as smooth as a wacom as possible.
Issues so far:
- So far, I haven't figured out how to customize…
I'm super curious about how this will function as a portable cintiq. No one has made a good mobile art platform yet (that's reasonably priced - Wacom) and the SP3 looks like the closest thing, but the pen tech has me concerned.
1. It helps to make the tablet thinner.
One of the reasons bigger and fatter Wacom Tablet PCs work better than thinner ones is that they can use thicker and better sensor board. I think one of the reasons why Surface Pro 1 and 2 was thicker than most people would have liked is because of…
Sounds like Wacom's desire to sell their own overpriced hardware is going to bite them in the ass hard. 256 levels of pressure sounds like garbage to me, but I'll wait till some artists who are used to at least 1024 get their hands on it and weigh in.
I'm not even sure if people will reblog this, but I'm just very curious how many of us are actually on tumblr ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ.
try not to both like and reblog but just do one…? thanks in advance "ヽ(´▽`)ノ"
why not
pew pewwwww
I consider myself more of an illustrator really.
Behold, another compilation of a lengthy, comics-related Twitter rant from a year or two ago! This time around, the topic was Japanese comics' famed, long-established system of assistant artists, and that system's theoretical application to North American comics production.
The manga…
To note:
The assistant program in Japan isn't profitable either. For beginner Manga artists their assistants are friends, family or people of their art "circle/club" who are working with them for that comic, often for free but sometimes for a very, VERY meager salary that's attached to the completion of the product. (Not based on time or rewrites or page counts.)
Only when an artist is taken in by a major publication do they get publication hired assistants but even then sometimes these assistants DON'T live in your area and DO live with you while the comic is being completed.
On occasion for larger publications (Say if JUMP were to sign you for something, JUMP is the Japanese equivocal of Marvel) and you DON'T live in Tokyo sometimes JUMP will have apartments that they'll bring everyone to live in while they work on their comic. If the comic does get popular it might be well over a year or two before you move out of this very small group housing situation to get your own place (because you have the money) or to go home (because your time is up.)
((To quick note here there are more comic publication circles in Japan than you can shake a stick at unlike in America where it's kind of Marvel, DC and maybe one or two other names and then you've fallen into vanity press and personal publishers.))((Also realize these "Apartments" are like maybe 200 squared feet and 3~5 people are living in them.))
So yeah not all Manga Artists live in the same city, some move into the same house from all over in order to work on their comic, they receive a salary based on the completion of the project not based on the physical time they're working so many of the assistants are only getting maybe the equivocal of $20~25/page and any artist can tell you a single page of even just inking can take 2+ hours. And if they fuck it up? The Editor wants a change? The lead artist changes their mind? They don't get extra money for the overtime of having to re-draw it.
So even in Japan being an assistant to "Work your way up" isn't a shortcut. It's a trial by fire and many assistants never get higher than that. Ether because they meet a Manga-ka they like so much that they're happy assisting them forever or because they realize they just don't have what it takes.
And getting assistants isn't a "Short cut" for Manga artists either since many artists will produce up to 20 "Names" just to apply to a publisher. (A "Name" is a short 20 page introduction comic to your idea. Basically you'll make 10~20 "First chapters" of different ideas and the publisher will look at them and if they like one they'll buy it and you have to develop that) These "Names" are usually done in the space of about 2 months. That's 200~400 pages in 2 months! And you thought Nanomango was hard!) And then if they're accepted they're expected to put out 20~30 pages of product EVERY MONTH. And no they CAN'T be late or miss a date because if the comic magazine is printed without them in it then often they're dropped completely (If they're just starting) and this is a major black mark on their record.
So yeah if you're thinking about being an assistant to an artist it is a good idea if you want to get into major comic publishing or even vanity press publishing and want to see what it's like first before you invest all the time and possible money into doing it only to realize you're not very good and hate it, but realize that in all things art there are no short cuts and you're not doing it for the money, because there's very little of that too.
And if you want to get an assistant then realize you're not hiring some noob you have to teach but hiring someone who's good but just new to the field or doesn't have the drive or ideas to make their own works and realize that if they're expecting good coin for their work then you're better off just doing it on your own or getting friend labour for that kind of stuff.
And Japan is wondering why their birthrates are plummeting.
I'll respect your opinion as long as your opinion doesn't disrespect my existence.
Eh, I'll respect your opinion as long as it's factually accurate. I guess it's not really an opinion at that point though, just a fact.
Bottom line, I respect facts.

I actually have a $350 set of computer speakers that have a TosLink input. Actually most decent computer add-on soundcards have them, and the Xbox 360 and I think the PS3 have them.

In a previous post, I speculated on who could fill injured Domenik Hixon's place as the kick returner/ punt returner. I focused on the internal candidates already on the team while ignoring Adam Jennings. Jennings, who himself spent most of last season on the IR, was signed to take Hixon's space on the roster.
Jennings, in 25 career kick returns, has averaged a very respectable 22.4 yards per return. Contrast that to Hixon, who in 80 career regular season kick returns has averaged a return of 24.57 yards. While that loss is almost negligible, the punt return comparison shows just how much the Giants really are losing in Hixon. Domenik has averaged a robust 11.04 yards per return in his 48 career punt returns. Jennings, meanwhile, has 54 returns but only 6.2 yards per.
At the very least, Jennings will step in and provide competition to the current threesome competing for the job: Aaron Ross, Mario Manningham, and my favorite of the three, Sinorice Moss. If Jennings cannot take the return job, there is a likelihood we could become a special teams coverage contributor.

Bronx Box, by Resolution: 4 Architecture
This urban infill prefab is located at the foot of the Throgs Neck Bridge on Eastchester Bay in the Bronx. The Bronx Box is a modified version of the double-decker, 2-story bar typology with an additional storage 'saddle bag', containing built in cabinets along the length of the house.
Given the narrow lot, the design aims to celebrate the constraints of its zoning envelope; the site's set backs, height limitations, and flood plain requirements yield a compact footprint while still featuring off-street parking, a small patch of green, and an expansive roof deck with stunning views of the bay beyond.
The house is clad in cement board with cedar accents and Ipe wood decks to keep maintenance issues at a minimum. Given that the home's modern aesthetic builds from the existing colors, textures, and diverse qualities within the surrounding urban fabric, it has been accepted as another unique personality within the neighborhood.

Scanning the Savanna searches the web for Detroit Lions content each morning and brings it to your fingertips in one easy location.
Reggie Bush's explosive ability on full display with Detroit Lions
Bucky Brooks – NFL.com
Now this is the Reggie Bush I expected to rip up the NFL from the get-go.
Racking up 191 total yards on 25 touches in the Detroit Lions' 34-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Bush was sensational as a runner/receiver on the fast track at Ford Field.
In my prior life as a scout for the Seattle Seahawks, I certainly bought into Bush's talent coming out of USC, giving him the highest grade of my scouting career and suggesting he would become a Marshall Faulk-like playmaker in the NFL.
Does Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh need to worry about retaliation?
Justin Rogers – MLive.com
Retaliations are part of sports. Even though we're told from the time we are young that two wrongs don't make a right, we've grown accustomed to these unwritten rules in the games we love.
But in the NFL, where super-sized men in suits of armor hit each other with all their might, retaliation might not be obvious, but it can certainly be career-shortening.
After another incident involving Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh — a low block on Vikings center John Sullivan that drew a $100,000 fine — former NFL player and ESPN analyst Tim Hasselbeck warns opposing teams will eventually put a target on Suh's back.
Lions Gab: If Ndamukong Suh's dirty, what does that make Clay Matthews?
Anthony Kuehn – Detroit Free Press
Naturally it was Clay Matthews they were talking about. How could it not be? He spent the week leading up to the game going on any radio and television show that would have him, raving about hitting the quarterbacks, punishing them and giving them no choice but to stay in the pocket.
He then carried out his mission by committing the one of the dirtiest plays I have ever seen on a professional football field.
The highs and lows of Week 1
Tim Twentyman and Mike O'Hara – DetroitLions.com
Tim Twentyman and Mike O'Hara discuss a sufficient penalty for Ndamukong Suh's illegal block and how many total yards Reggie Bush could end up with this year

Ushering in the age of the living city
In so many ways, the city is a living organism. Vibrant and alive, full of people from differing backgrounds, it is constantly changing. But as alive as a city might seem, it generally doesn't have the ability to talk to you. Until now.
Hello Lamp Post is a city-wide experiment that aims to change the way we view the city. Set in England's Bristol, it describes itself as an "experimental, city-wide platform for play."
Here's how it works: many items (such as lamp posts) throughout a city have a unique reference code. Generally, these are used for maintenance identification purposes, but Hello Lamp Post reappropriates them.
Through Hello Lamp Post, these items can be "woken up." Just shoot a text to 0117-325-9898 with the message "Hello [object] #reference code." Then you'll receive some questions to answer. Presuming someone has previously woken that object up, you'll get to hear what he had to say. If not, your response will be stored for the next person who walks on by.
This launches tomorrow, so if you find yourself in Bristol, help kick it off. It's a fascinating idea, but one that will only work better as more people become involved. If you're not in Bristol but am curious what sorts of things folks are writing, Hello Lamp Post's website displays some question/answer combos in real time.
Hopefully, this idea will soon spread to American cities. The infrastructure is already laid. All that's needed is some interested people to actually set it up.
If all of this still sounds confusing, check out the video below.
Hello Lamp Post, Via Reddit

Facebook is where it's at currently and if you haven't noticed this you must be living in a bunker with no contact to the outside world! Although having a presence on this groundbreaking social media site can be pivotal to the success of a business, there's a lot more to it than just signing up and hoping it will perform miracles.
Firstly for a business such as a fitness instructor creating a platform where your clients can become your greatest advocates can see the old faithful "word of mouth" reach new and exciting levels of response if you do it properly.
A "Fan Page" is what you want to set up, so this link is where you can start from: http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
We suggest going for this option –
This will then take you to your page so you can start customising it. It's important to have some great content on there to keep your customers and potential customers interested. How about loading on some pictures of your classes into an album, then an album of the places you teach, maybe some "behind the scenes" shots or your success stories and such like.
Remember to put in a small biography about yourself, contact details or a link to your external website.
Also another great promotional tool is videos, you can load these onto facebook directly or use links to videos you've posted on Youtube. Do you have a Youtube Channel? If not, we'll go into how to create one in another blog soon.
There is no end of possibilities when it comes to adding apps and other snazzy things to pages. One great idea is to add a tab where people can sign up to your newsletters (if you send any) even if you don't it's a great way of capturing data. The app "MailChimp" is the best one we've seen – Here's more info on that and on this page you'll see the tab "Email sign up" for how it would look on your page. http://www.facebook.com/mailchimp
The website "Social Media Examiner" gives great hints and tips on how to create a successful page, you can read up on that here:
No matter how many bells and whistles you add to your page the most crucial thing to its success is you making sure your followers feel you are interacting with them and giving them things to look at / read / watch that entertain them. It could be a video clip of one of your classes, but you don't always have to put information relevant to your business either; everyone loves to see a funny video from YouTube so putting up things you've found interesting on the web is always a good extra too!
Having just a personal account on there where people have to add you as a friend not only looks rather unprofessional but you're very restrained with what you can do with the account, limited to 5000 friends and one thing we forgot to mention already is with a fan page you get to investigate your stats! By this we mean you can see where people are that visit your page, the links you put on there that become popular, even a little graph that shows how you fan base is growing. Might sound a bit geeky but believe us, you'll soon be checking it every week!
Good luck if you're going to embark on your Fan Page journey and we'd love to see your results!
Coming soon… How to get grips with the phenomena that is Twitter.

Robert Kraft sounds optimistic, but adds that there's 'a lot left to solve'
|06.09.11 at 3:45 pm ET
Patriots owner Robert Kraft sounded an optimistic note on Thursday afternoon regarding recent talks between the players and owners, but added that there's still 'a lot left to solve' when it comes to ending the lockout.
'We're talking about how we improve the game and how we solve our problems and the only issue is how do we get football back, no other agendas,' he told reporters. 'I think thats a very positive thing, but we still have a lot of hard work to do. A lot left to solve. At least we're there talking to one another.
'The good news for me is both sides care about ' having the union and the players involved there and the owners and the commissioner, we all care about the health of this game long term and thats our sole focus, so building on that is gratifying.'
The lockout, which will reach its' 90th day on Friday, is the longest work stoppage in NFL history.

WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 40 over-the-counter infant's and children's liquid medications are being recalled in the United States and 11 other countries because they don't meet quality standards.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare issued the recall for children's versions of Tylenol, Tylenol Plus, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl after consulting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The company is advising consumers to stop giving the products to their children as a precautionary measure.
The company says the recall was not undertaken because of any adverse effects.
The medicines were made and distributed in the United States, and exported to Canada, the Dominican Republic, Dubai, Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago and Kuwait.

Obama Approves Raising Permissible Levels of Nuclear Radiation in Drinking WaterSubmitted by Romang on Tue, 04/23/2013 - 15:11
Probably not a sign of good things to come:
Civilian Cancer Deaths Expected to Skyrocket Following Radiological Incidents
The White House has given final approval for dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following "radiological incidents," such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs. The final version, slated for Federal Register publication as soon as today, is a win for the nuclear industry which seeks what its proponents call a "new normal" for radiation exposure among the U.S population, according Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).
Issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, the radiation guides (called Protective Action Guides or PAGs) allow cleanup many times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These guides govern evacuations, shelter-in-place orders, food restrictions and other actions following a wide range of "radiological emergencies." The Obama administration blocked a version of these PAGs from going into effect during its first days in office. The version given approval late last Friday is substantially similar to those proposed under Bush but duck some of the most controversial aspects:
In soil, the PAGs allow long-term public exposure to radiation in amounts as high as 2,000 millirems. This would, in effect, increase a longstanding 1 in 10,000 person cancer rate to a rate of 1 in 23 persons exposed over a 30-year period;

Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility
Center Chair Tony Arnold
Wins Distinguished Faculty Award for
Outstanding Scholarship, Research, and Creative Activity
in the Social Sciences
(December 6, 2011)
(Picture at the 2011 Celebration of Faculty Excellence: Provost Shirley Willihnganz, Brandeis School of Law Dean Jim Chen, Professor Tony Arnold, and President Jim Ramsey)
Tony Arnold, Chair of the Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility, received the President's 2011 Distinguished Faculty Award for Outstanding Scholarship, Research, and Creative Activity, for his interdisciplinary research on land use, water resources, property rights, environmental justice, and environmental conservation. Professor Arnold is the Boehl Chair in Property and Land Use and teaches in both the Brandeis School of Law and the Department of Urban and Public Affairs. He is an internationally recognized scholar of the environmental regulation of land use and water. He studies the interconnectedness of legal, policy, social, and ecological systems. He bases his research on concepts of panarchy, complex adaptive systems, multi-scalar analysis, and institutional evolution.
Professor Arnold has published 7 books/monographs, 7 book chapters, and 25 scholarly articles, totaling over 4400 pages in print. His works have been cited over 1300 times, often discussed or quoted in the text of the citing works. His articles on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) have been downloaded over 5800 times. Peers have selected two of his law journal articles as among the best published in land use and environmental law in the United States. Nationally and internationally renowned scholars have praised Professor Arnold's scholarship for its prolific nature, high quality, broad and deep impact, innovation, relevance, and leading analysis of several different cutting-edge issues.
Professor Arnold's scholarship has had substantial impact on knowledge and scholarship in many different disciplines, at local, national, and international levels, and on law, public policy, and social institutions. For example, his reconceptualization of property as a "web of interests" has influenced thinking about property rights and responsibilities. His work on "wet growth" has identified and advanced a set of principles, methods, and tools that integrate land use practices, water quality protection, water supply management and conservation, and watershed health. His recent works on the structure and functions of the land use regulatory system in the United States and the emergence of "integrationist multimodality" in environmental law have identified new trends as society seeks to address complex, multi-dimensional problems at the intersection of land, water, and the environment. He is currently co-authoring the first Environmental Sustainability Law & Policy textbook (with Wolters Kluwer Aspen Publishing) and undertaking a major empirical study of watershed institutions.
His work has not only influenced academic knowledge and ideas but also had practical impact on issues of public importance. His work has received U.S. EPA grant funding to aid Kentucky communities in addressing the impacts of land use on water. His scholarship has been cited and used by the U.S. EPA, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization, American Bar Association, American Planning Association, National Academy of Public Administration, National Association of County and City Health Officials, Kentucky Division of Forestry, Kentucky Division of Water, Iowa Department of Economic Development, Sierra Club, Watershed Watch, Center for Watershed Protection, National Association of Manufacturers, Pacific Gas & Electric, American Forest & Paper Association, American Petroleum Institute, the AsiaPacific Centre for Complex Real Property Rights (and then used by the World Bank), and various community-based groups and local governments throughout the U.S., Canada, and world.
Professor Arnold acknowledges the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary study through the Center as an important part of his research work. "My research aims to integrate innovate thinking about environmentally responsible land use and water management across disciplines. Society's complex problems demand trans-disciplinary knowledge and ideas. I was drawn to U of L because of opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and research." An avid boot-wearer and enthusiast for nature and the outdoors, Professor Arnold particularly notes the roles of empirical research, practical public problem-solving, and integrationist thinking: "I like to 'get my cowboy boots muddy' doing empirical research on complex social, legal, and ecological systems. I aim to 'build bridges' in my scholarship -- across disciplines, across fragmented areas of law, and across theory and practice."

Two men flee from stolen car Friday morning; no arrests made
King County Sheriff's deputies searched in vain early this morning for two men who crashed into a tree with a stolen car on the heavily forested Burton Peninsula and then fled on foot.
The accident took place around 1 a.m. Friday on S.W. Harbor Drive near 95th Place S.W., said Sgt. James Laing, a spokesman for the King County Sheriff's Office. Helicopters were called to the scene to help track the two male occupants of the car.
"There was a long, extensive search in the area," Laing said. "It went throughout most of the night."
The men were not found, and no arrests were made.
Laing said the car the two men had been driving had been reported as stolen.

Economics in One Lesson
The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreA million copy seller, Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern "libertarian" economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others.
Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the "Austrian School," which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy.
Many current economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt's focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson, every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.

Red Mage Build
Thesis: To build a fun Red Mage in Pathfinder.
Reason: Just for fun. It's another concept build I may never use.
Note: The build is based on a comment in the Multiclass section in this guide, which I'll also use for some inspiration below:
Also, you can find info on the classes through these links:
Ability Scores
4d6, drop the lowest
Str 13 (+1); Dex 16 (+3); Con 14 (+2); Int 17 (+3); Wis 13 (+1); Cha 12 (+1)
15-point Buy
Str 13 (+1); Dex 16 (+3); Con 13 (+1); Int 16 (+3); Wis 8 (-1); Cha 7 (-2)
4d6, drop the lowest
Str 13 (+1); Dex 16 (+2); Con 12 (+2); Int 19 (+4); Wis 13 (+1); Cha 12 (+1)
15-point Buy
Str 13 (+1); Dex 18 (+3); Con 11 (0); Int 16 (+3); Wis 8 (-1); Cha 7 (-2)
For this particular build I'm going for the feat Dervish Dance as earlier as possible. With a Human I get the Feat at first level and I can work in Toughness for its maximum benefit. With an Elf or Half-Elf, I have to wait until 3rd level and I lose out on Toughness. That being said, the Elf/Half-Elf has other advantages. Immunity to magic sleep and the Elf is built for magic and this build. For that, I'm going to consider the Elf with the rolled stats as the choice here for all that follows.
20th Level Stats
Str 13 (+1); Dex 20 (+5); Con 12 (+2); Int 20 (+5); Wis 13 (+1); Cha 12 (+1)
Magus 7/Cleric 3/Mystic Theurge 10
Features (Magus)
Spellbook, Arcane Pool, Cantrips, Spell Combat, Spellstrike, Magus Arcana (Arcane Accuracy), Spell Recall, Bonus Feat (Intensify Spell), Magus Arcana (Broad Study), Knowledge Pool, Medium Armor
Features (Cleric of Calistria)
Aura (Chaotic), Channel Energy (2d6), Domains (Luck and Trickery), Orisons, Spontaneous Casting, Bonus Languages, Bit of Luck (Sp), Copycat (Sp)
Features (Mystic Theurge)
Combined Spells (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th), Spell Synthesis
Magus: (CL 17th)
0th - 5; 1st - 7; 2nd - 6; 3rd - 6; 4th - 5; 5th - 4; 6th - 2
Cleric: (CL 13th)
0th - 4; 1st - 5+1; 2nd - 4+1; 3rd - 4+1; 4th - 4+1; 5th - 3+1; 6th 2+1; 7th 2+1
(I consider the Cleric spell progression from Mystic Theurge able to gain the Domain spells, since it's spell casting related. She doesn't gain anything else Domain related though.)
Each class has 2 + Int mod. So from 1st to 3rd level she gains 6 skill points. At 4th level, it increases to 7 points. Skill choices include the following:
Acrobatics: To be awesome with jumping around and flipping and stuff.
Escape Artist: In case I don't take Defensive Combat Training.
Fly: Let's be clear, Flying is awesome. Being able to fly well is awesomer.
Knowledge (Arcana): Pretty standard knowledge for a caster.
Knowledge (other): Designed around the team, these may or may not need to ba taken. Perception: The most used skill.
Spellcraft: The other standard skill for a caster.
Here are the Feats I'd choose for this build. Surprisingly (or un-surprisingly depending on how you look at it), this build is not Feat reliant, so after about 5th level or so, its options are wide open.
Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dance: The core to this character's damage. It makes her less MAD and generally easier to melee with.
Defensive Combat Training: To avoid grapples and the like.
Spell Penetration, Spell Penetration Greater: Combined with the Elf's natural +2, this can result in a +6 vs. Spell Resistance.
Intensify Spell: Increase a low level damage spell (Shocking Grasp) to 10d6 damage. Pretty nice.
Extend Spell: For control spells, like Black Tentacles or Stinking Cloud or Sleet Storm.
Improved Initiative: For getting combat going faster.
Touch AC: 20; Flat-Footed: 29
(Armor: +5 Mithril Breastplate, +5 Amulet of Natural Armor, +5 Ring of Protection)
Initiative: +9
Well, there's the rough start to the character. Stronger spell casting than BAB, but you know, it's fine, because she's got a lot of options across her two spell lists, along with Spell Synthesis and the ability to use her Cleric slots for Magus spells (and vice versa I guess). Specific Spells and Tactics Coming Later!

A year after Manchester police shooting, a life-saving tourniquet is standard issue in cruisers
Manchester police officer Dan Doherty walks through a gauntlet of officers Jan. 14 after a judge sentenced Myles Webster to 60 years in jail for attempted murder. Doherty is back at work. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
But without the tourniquet a fellow officer applied to Doherty's leg at the scene of the shooting, Doherty may well have bled to death. As a result, all Manchester police officers have been trained to apply a tourniquet and render other emergency aid. The response didn't stop there.
"We took it one step further," said Sgt. Mark Sanclemente, department training officer.
Thanks to a grant, the department now has a first aid/trauma kit in every cruiser.
The man who tried to kill Doherty, 26, now sits in the New Hampshire State Prison, serving a sentence of 60 years to life on his convictions for attempted murder, reckless conduct and robbery. Webster, 23, who was only six months out of a federal prison at the time of the shooting, has appealed his convictions to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
At Webster's trial in December, a doctor testified in Hillsborough County Superior Court North that the tourniquet put on Doherty's left leg was a key element in his survival.
Police Chief David Mara was so impressed that he ordered every Manchester police officer to be trained to properly place a tourniquet and perform other medical assistance.
First on the scene
Sanclemente said officers Brandon Murphy and Tom Gonzales were the first backup officers to arrive at the shooting scene last March 21. The two had issued the alert about a man who appeared to have a weapon tucked in his pants in the area of RiteAid at McGregor Square.
"They were the first with Dan," said Sanclemente.
Murphy, who along with Gonzales is a member of SWAT, had undergone medical training two months before. He immediately assessed the situation and put a tourniquet on Doherty's left leg.
After many surgeries, intensive therapy and with a titanium rod in his left leg, Doherty was able to return to work the first week of February, surprising many fellow officers when he appeared without notice at roll call.
Doctors credited Doherty's survival to his youth, physical condition, the EMTs who sped him from the shooting scene at Wayne and Rimmon streets to nearby Catholic Medical Center, the doctors who operated - and the tourniquet.
There are two medics assigned to SWAT, which is not a full-time job, but now everyone is trained on first aid, including tourniquet application, Sanclemente said.
"To apply to yourself or a teammate," he said.
A dangerous job
Mara said the shooting didn't prompt changes in training because Doherty did everything right, including calling for backup when he spotted Webster, who fled when initially confronted and turned and fired as Doherty closed in on him.
Manchester uses one-person cruisers. If two officers are needed for an incident at a specific address, it's easy to coordinate the arrival, said Mara.
But often it is a search without a definite address.
"If we do find them," he said, the officer calls for backup. "You have to think quick," he said.
"Dan's actions and the actions of other police officers that night show the importance of training." Mara added: "We will continue to train."
Sanclemente said: "We try to prepare for anything."
That's why the department participated in an "active shooter exercise" at Parkside Middle School Feb. 18, when children were on holiday for Washington's Birthday. Police worked with the fire department and paramedics in the mass shooting exercise.
The Manchester Police Department has scheduled an entry level police officer examination May 18 at Memorial High School, with an application deadline of May 8.
Asked if the Doherty shooting is likely to have an effect on applications, Sanclemente, stressing that he was speaking only for himself, said he does not believe it will.
"It's just a dangerous job that we do," he said. "People know what it entails."

Rush: Obama Administration Spinning Lies With Budget, Healthcare Numbers
By Michelle Lopata:
The Obama administration is lying to the American public with every set of budget numbers and economic projections it puts out, says talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.
A report released Friday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that President Barack Obama's 2013 budget will add some $6.7 trillion in deficits over the next decade, almost doubling the federal debt by 2022. The administration, meanwhile, had said its proposal would actually cut the debt by $3.2 trillion.
That followed a CBO report released Thursday that predicted up to 20 million Americans could lose employer-provided insurance under Obamacare – a staggering figure for a law that was supposed to move the nation toward near-universal coverage.
"So we have the Obama administration lying about the cost of healthcare now lying about the cost of Obama's budget, not to mention the President lying about oil and green energy and all of that," said Limbaugh. "It's stunning! Phony numbers!"
"The bottom line is that virtually every set of number that we get from the Obama administration simply are not true."

Taking a stand on open source and patents.
At Google we believe that open systems win. Open-source software has been at the root of many innovations in cloud computing, the mobile web, and the Internet generally. And while open platforms have faced growing patent attacks, requiring companies to defensively acquire ever more patents, we remain committed to an open Internet—one that protects real innovation and continues to deliver great products and services.
Today, we're taking another step towards that goal by announcing the Open Patent Non-Assertion (OPN) Pledge: we pledge not to sue any user, distributor or developer of open-source software on specified patents, unless first attacked.
We've begun by identifying 10 patents relating to MapReduce, a computing model for processing large data sets first developed at Google—open-source versions of which are now widely used. Over time, we intend to expand the set of Google's patents covered by the pledge to other technologies.

For a person with dementia, the link between aggressive behavior and physical pain is strong only in the condition's advanced stages, University of Florida researchers have found.
LTC therapists seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to patient pain. Pain management is at the forefront of surveyors and scrutinized as a CMS quality measure.
Pain management is a significant problem for adults aged 65 or older in the United States, new study results indicate.
John O'Connor's recent post on the pain/depression cycle raised some interesting points about depression in long-term care. Reducing learned helplessness that is often seen in depression is something more providers need to be trying for.
When providers consider the challenges residents face, it's usually within the context of activity of daily living limits. Things like trouble with walking, dressing, bathing and eating tend to be top of mind. With mental conditions, Alzheimer's considerations dominate. But a phenomenon that fuels both physical and mental decline often flies under the radar.
Pondering difficult end-of-life situations made me think, naturally, of Chevy Chase.
While the number of nurse practitioners is expected to nearly double by 2025, many in the field say payer policies hurt their efficiency, even more than state scope-of-practice laws.
Bipartisan bills introduced Wednesday in both houses of Congress propose tightening access to hydrocodone painkillers such as Vicodin.
We continue this month on how to manage painful wounds.
How can we best identify pain associated with wounds?
If Bill Clinton added "M.D." after his name, slung a stethoscope around his neck and started visiting the residents in your nursing facility, there's a chance that your residents might start feeling better — however briefly — new research suggests.
The anxiety associated with an impending survey should be offset by the fact that the nursing facility holds the secret to its own success - the knowledge of its customers.
If you are reading this, you likely work in long-term care and probably are skilled at empathizing with others. But you might have a coworker who doesn't seem to "get it" yet.
Scientists are hopeful that a new technology will be able to objectively measure and detect pain in people — such as elderly dementia patients — who are unable to articulate whether they are hurting, according to a new study.
The National Quality Forum on Wednesday came out in support of 21 measures to be used to care for both long-term nursing home residents and short-stay patients. These measures will be included in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Nursing Home Compare website.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency on Thursday issued an interim rule that slightly relaxes its position on pain medications in nursing homes.
The American Health Care Association is supporting a new report that calls on government agencies, Congress and the medical community to address chronic pain as a public health crisis.
A lot of Americans suffer from chronic pain. This group includes many nursing home residents. Which is why some new developments on the pain front are encouraging.
More needs to be done to train doctors and healthcare workers about treating chronic pain, according to a new report.
Nursing home quality improvement efforts over the last few years have largely met their goals, according to a new report examining quality trends in the nation's nursing homes. The report, which also warned about potential ill effects of any reduced Medicare funding, was released Monday by the American Health Care Association and the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care.
Nurses and relatives routinely fail to detect the severity of chronic pain among nursing home residents, especially those with cognitive impairments, according to a new study.
Advancing Excellence, a voluntary, nationwide campaign formed to improve care in nursing homes has done just that, organizers say. There has been a drop in the number of pressure ulcers and the use of physical restraints, and improved pain management for both long-term and short-term stays, according to newly released data.
A council of long-term care professionals has issued guidelines for dealing with suspected or actual outbreaks of H1N1, or swine flu. The recommendations came out late last week, just hours before the first suspected cases of the flu at nursing facilities began to surface.
Seniors who perform simple ankle and foot exercises a few times per week can noticeably improve their strength and balance, according to recent research.
New international guidelines for performing prevalence and incidence studies on pressure ulcers will make their debut today and Saturday at the Biennial Conference of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel.
The elderly are routinely excluded from clinical trials for cancer treatments, even though 60% of all cancer cases occur among the senior population, according to new research.
A recent nationwide survey of hospital patients finds room for improvement in the area of pain management.
Discussions about end-of-life issues between patients, doctors and families improve the quality of life for the terminally ill. They also have "cascading benefits" for both patients and their loved ones, according to new research.
The Joint Commission, a nonprofit healthcare certification and accreditation organization, has released a new brochure to help patients better discuss issues of pain management with their caregivers.
The Commonwealth Fund has awarded a $474,000 grant to the steering committee of the Advancing Excellence campaign, a two-year campaign that aims to improve care in the nation's nursing homes.

Notes on the Bieber Scent|
Beauty News
Joining the ranks of David Beckham, Derek Jeter and Antonio Banderas, 17-year old Justin Bieber is launching his own scent. It's called Someday and hits stores like Macy's and Sephora this June and, yes, there's a hair mist ($20 for 5oz). It's heady news for a Friday morning, and makes the fashion mind race with thoughts like:
1. It's unusual that a male performer would come out with a women's fragrance first, instead of a men's. But we can see how this is more true to the King of BOP's core fans anyway.
2. If we'd had to think of a likely beauty deal for Bieber, we would have gone with some kind of hair care line, naturally.
3. The print ad will be shot by Terry Richardson and will feature Dree Hemingway- not exactly the threesome…Read More»

Biometrics 101: A Primer for Physical Access Control
By Debra Spitler
The world of physical access control was altered by the events of September 11, 2001, as veterans of this industry will attest. Prior to that time, physical access control systems relied upon technologies such as barium ferrite, magnetic stripe, Wiegand, and proximity to provide an appropriate level of security.
Biometric technology was rarely considered for use in a physical access control system. The need for high security translated into the requirement to provide a proximity reader and card as opposed to a magnetic stripe reader and card. Further, the concept of identity verification did not enter the picture.
Times have changed. U.S. government agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as private industry, are seriously considering the benefits of a second level of physical security that incorporates biometric technology. As a result, biometric technology providers are seeking ways to transfer their knowledge to the physical access control marketplace. Likewise, access control system manufacturers and large system integrators are beginning to take an active interest in learning about and supporting biometric technologies at the end-user level.
As new opportunities for growth in the access control arena emerge, it is important to remember that biometrics is a technology, not an industry, says John Hunepohl, president of Exact Identification Corporation. "Before applying any technology, first identify the problem. Second, define a solution. Third, see how your technology can become part or all of the solution."
What Are Biometrics?
Biometric systems use automated techniques that verify or identify people by their physical characteristics. Various technologies are currently available for biometric authentication.
- In terms of revenues, the extremely dynamic fingerprint market leads the other biometric technologies. Factors driving this market include the miniaturization of sensors, falling prices, and access control and network security applications. Manufacturers of electronic devices such as cell phones, PDAs and laptop computers are planning to add fingerprint biometric sensors to secure information and enable the devices for electronic commerce, according to Julia Webb, vice president of global marketing for Bioscrypt.
- A veteran in the biometric market, hand geometry was identified by Frost & Sullivan's World Biometric Report 2002 as the dominant biometric technology for access control and time-and-attendance applications. Some key factors driving this market include small template size and the need for highly secured areas. Hand geometry is well suited for such locations as airports and border crossings.
- A fast growing technology, iris recognition will be the second largest technology in terms of revenues by 2006. Factors driving this market include accuracy, the non-intrusive nature of the technology and the introduction of new, price-competitive products to the market. Iris recognition should gain popularity in financial and network security applications.
- Currently in its infancy, voice verification will increase in use due to its advantage of incorporating existing infrastructure. It is the only biometric technology that can be used over telecommunications networks. This market will expand due to the technology's intuitive, user-friendly, unobtrusive and cost-effective nature. Additional drivers include the existence of an infrastructure framework, high utility for wireless telephone users, and opportunities driven by voice-enabled commerce.
- A passive technology that requires no effort by the user, face recognition will grow rapidly due to increased surveillance and monitoring. It is also predicted to make a mark in the travel industry. The face recognition market will be driven by the fact that the technology is non-intrusive and passive, cost-effective, and is good for use in government, law enforcement and casino applications. The technology is recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization, which develops, adopts and amends international standards to increase the safety and security of international civil aviation.
- Signature verification is an emerging commercial market fueled by its application of paperless document management. Electronic signature legislations, combined with the increased demand for paperless document processing and increasing use of wireless devices, will drive this market. The cost-effectiveness of the technology will also play a role.
- Used mainly in high-security government and military locations, retina recognition is currently seen as a highly intrusive technology. Factors that will impact this market include the need for high-security access control, small template size, and the price-competitive nature of the technology.

Lunchtime Soup
Well, on one of those days, "Lunchtime Soup" was born.
I could easily have had a sandwich, but as bread is such a no-no with regard to being inflammatory, (one slice of Oat bran bread registering -33) I was feverishly trying to think of something to have that wouldn't upset the apple cart and leave me in pain for the afternoon.
I knew I had a few crumbs of Turkey left from the meat I'd defrosted for use in the Turkey Curry, but I didn't much fancy having Ramen noodles which would have used them up perfectly. I did, however, feel like having something warm that came out of a bowl. Something that you knew you'd eaten by the end of it. Soup!
Now, this was an enticing proposition because I knew I'd be eating it alone - so I could make it just how I wanted. Hubby isn't a great lover of home-made soups and anyway he already had plans for lunch.
I had a rummage in the vegetable drawer and pulled out the following :
a shallot (which registered +20)
two sticks of Fenland celery (+10)
a parsnip (-12)
a block of swede (-4)
three florets of cauliflower (+18)
one clove of garlic (+107)
a small bunch of parsley (+50)
a handful of leftover roast turkey meat (-17)
plus :
olive oil (to cook the shallot & garlic in - +71)
chicken stock - I used 2 Knorr Chicken Stockpots (-43)
and enough water to cover.
All of which, once you've done the maths, amounts to a total of +200 - which is just wonderful.
So I was able to have - over two days - lunch that not only was good for me, but was low fat, tasted fabulous and soothed my yearning for comfort food! It would have been even better for me if I'd have had a couple of carrots in the house, but regrettably we'd used them all up. What makes this even better, is that the soup ingredients were all leftovers - all except the cauliflower, which I'd bought to make a Skinny Cauliflower Cheese with.
I reckon I've hit dieting Nirvana. Food that is not only good for you (in whatever way you want it to be good for you), but comes as an added bonus on top of your normal planned menus. Can't be bad!
If you'd like to re-create this lovely yumminess at home, here's what I did (but you can add or remove any part of it, substitute veggies, or use veggie stock - the world is your oyster!) :
LUNCHTIME SOUP (serves 2)
Ingredients :
1 tbsp olive oil
1 banana shallot, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
2 sticks celery, de-stringed and chopped fine
1 medium parsnip, peeled & sliced finely
a small block of swede, peeled & diced finely
3 florets of cauliflower, each cut in half
600ml chicken or vegetable stock - I used 2 Knorr Chicken Stockpot
a few offcuts of cooked meat taken from a roasted joint
a small bunch of parsley, chopped.
Method :
1. Heat the olive oil gently in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook over a medium heat until they are softened but not browned.
2. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute or so.
3. Add the remainder of the vegetables, except the parsley, and cook on a greater heat for 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are very nearly at the desired tenderness, then add the cooked meat. Make sure the meat has heated through and the soup is back up to temperature, during which the vegetables should have attained the desired tenderness. Try not to stir too briskly, or you'll break up the pieces of meat.
6. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Cook for another minute, then serve.

Lovely Jenny ~ we have soup nearly every lunchtime in the colder months, and that looks tasty!ReplyDelete
nice soupReplyDelete
i will try it soon
Karen, I think the real beauty of this soup is its adaptability and the speed with which it can be in the bowl. Just perfect for lunchtimes.ReplyDelete
Rehan, do! I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Mmm I love the sound of your raid-the-fridge lunchtime soup! Am on a real soup kick lately, such a great way to make something special out of fridge finds!ReplyDelete
Anne, I think there's something about this time of year that makes you want something warm and in a bowl. LOL However, you're still thinking "must watch the waistline" and "fresh vegetables", so to make a soup like this one is just absolutely perfect. :)ReplyDelete
Apologies for the word verification rubbish, but I was spending more time deleting spam than blogging. Do, please, leave a comment all the same!
