By Jessica Coomes
April 18 --A federal appeals court April 18 upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's revised air toxics standards for cement kilns but said the agency overstepped its authority when it tried to limit the authority of federal district courts to impose civil penalties for emissions violations during equipment malfunctions.
The decision to vacate the affirmative defense in civil suits will have a far-reaching effect not only on the cement industry but also on other industries that are provided an affirmative defense, including power plants and boiler operators, Jim Pew, an Earthjustice attorney who argued the case for environmental petitioners, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club, told Bloomberg BNA.
An industry source who was involved in the case told Bloomberg BNA that unless the court agrees to rehear the case, which is particularly unlikely because the opinion had no dissent, the decision will affect other industries over the coming years.
"It's highly unlikely there's going to be rehearing, so it's the law of the circuit, and they have exclusive jurisdiction over stuff like this, so my guess is, some way or another over the next year or two, you're going to get [affirmative defenses] stripped out" of existing regulations, the source said. "It's just a question of time."
The EPA issued a rule in 2010 setting emissions standards for particulate matter, mercury, hydrogen chloride and hydrocarbons, affecting about 100 Portland cement facilities nationwide, but the D.C. Circuit struck down parts of the rule in 2011 (Portland Cement Ass'n v. EPA, 665 F.3d 177, 73 ERC 1801, 2011 BL 314480 (D.C. Cir. 2011)).
In response to the court's decision, the EPA revised the standards in 2013, lowering the particular matter emissions limit and giving industry two extra years to comply (78 Fed. Reg. 10,006).
After the 2013 rule was issued, the environmental groups brought the case back to the D.C. Circuit, arguing the agency is prohibited from weakening existing emissions limits, that it shouldn't have considered the cost-effectiveness of emissions reductions and that it shouldn't have extended the compliance time.
In the April 18 decision, the court rejected all of those arguments, saying the EPA's regulatory decisions were reasonable and will be allowed to stand.
Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion, in which Judges Harry Edwards and Sri Srinivasan joined.
The environmental groups argued the Clean Air Act doesn't allow the EPA to weaken existing emissions standards. The 2010 rule eased the particulate matter standard for existing kilns, to 0.07 pound per ton of clinker from the previous limit of 0.04 pound per ton.
The EPA argued the air act doesn't allow the agency to set a maximum achievable control technology standard that is weaker than a standard that may have been set under a different section of the law.
"In wading through this back-and-forth, we ultimately need not decide whether EPA's reading is the better or only reading of this statutory provision, but simply whether it is a permissible reading," the court wrote. "EPA administers the Clean Air Act, and we must defer to its reasonable interpretation of any ambiguities in the statute."
When issuing the revised rule, the EPA conducted new calculations showing plants can meet a standard of 0.07 pound per ton. The agency didn't retain the 0.04 pound per ton standard in the original rule because it did not think that standard was cost-effective.
But the environmental petitioners said the only cost consideration should be whether a standard would bankrupt the industry, not whether it is cost-effective.
"[W]e need not decide whether EPA's reading is the only reading of this provision," the court said. "Even if the statute does not compel EPA's approach, and even if EPA's reading is not the better reading, we conclude that it is still at least a reasonable reading given the various potential meanings of 'cost' in this context."
The D.C. Circuit also upheld the EPA's decision to extend the compliance period.
The Clean Air Act gives industry up to three years to comply with emissions standards. Since the rule originally was issued in 2010, the environmental groups argued industry had until 2013 to comply. However, in the final rule, the EPA changed the compliance date to 2015.
The groups said the original compliance date should stand, especially for meeting the standards for mercury, hydrogen chloride and hydrocarbons, which didn't change between the 2010 and 2013 rules. The EPA argued that industry needed additional time to install pollution control equipment to meet the revised particulate matter standard, and because the same controls would be used to reduce emissions of all of the pollutants, the 2015 compliance date should apply for the entire rule.
"This situation does indeed present a bit of a conundrum," the court said. "…This conundrum is resolved when one realizes that it would be irrational and even absurd to have different compliance dates for the different pollutants."
Pew said it is worrisome that, going forward, EPA could restart the compliance clock by revising an emissions standard.
"I hope that wouldn't happen," Pew said. "I hope the administration would have a more responsible way of looking at the law."
The D.C. Circuit struck down the provision of the EPA rule that would have limited federal district courts' authority to impose civil penalties on companies that violate emissions standards during times of unavoidable equipment malfunction.
The final rule established an affirmative defense in citizen lawsuits to insulate industry from penalties. The environmental groups argued that penalties are important to deter violations.
The D.C. Circuit said the EPA overstepped its authority because Congress said it's up to the courts, not the administration, to decide when civil penalties are appropriate.
The EPA argued that the affirmative defense is necessary because while sources must control their emissions continuously, the reality is that pollution control equipment can fail.
"That is a good argument for EPA to make to the courts--and for the courts to then consider--in future civil cases when this issue arises," the D.C. Circuit said. "But it does not suffice to give EPA authority to create an affirmative defense."
Bruce Pasfield, an attorney with Alston & Bird LLP who has been following the case but wasn't involved in it, told Bloomberg BNA the decision will leave companies with uncertainty over whether an equipment malfunction could open them up to penalties in citizen lawsuits.
"It's problematic for the industry because they are going to have unavoidable malfunctions," Pasfield said. "At times, that's going to happen. Theoretically, environmental groups could sue any time that happens, so [companies] are fairly wide open in terms of liability for things that might be beyond their control."
The EPA previously exempted industries from complying with emissions standards during equipment startups, shutdowns and malfunctions. However, the D.C. Circuit in 2008 said the exemption was unlawful, and the EPA has been removing the exemption in various rules and replacing it with the affirmative defense, Pew said (Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F.3d 1019, 68 ERC 1033, 2008 BL 282130 (D.C. Cir. 2008)).
Pew said the cement case is the first time the court has addressed the legality of the affirmative defense, and the EPA now will have to remove the affirmative defense from other rules, including air toxics standards for power plants and boilers.
"That's huge," Pew said about the ruling.
Scott Segal, an attorney with Bracewell & Giuliani who was not involved in the case, told Bloomberg BNA that environmental groups are overstating the significance of the win on the affirmative defense issue.
"Cement kilns are already highly regulated at the state and federal levels," Segal said in an e-mailed statement. "While I am sure cement companies are not pleased to lose the defense, there is little evidence that I am aware of that the affirmative defensive was a particularly critical lynchpin in defending against citizen suits."
The EPA did not respond to specific questions about the affirmative defense, saying only that it is disappointed in the ruling.
Gregory Scott, president of the Portland Cement Association, said in a statement April 18 that the group also was disappointed.
"How EPA can address the complex issue of [startup, shutdown and malfunction] will have to be re-examined in light of the court's decision," Scott said.
However, Scott said the decision doesn't affect the ability of states to establish affirmative defenses.
Kavanaugh's opinion specifically mentioned the Fifth Circuit's decision in 2013 to uphold the EPA's decision to approve an affirmative defense in a state implementation plan (Luminant Generation Co. v. EPA, 714 F.3d 841, 76 ERC 1575, 2013 BL 79999 (5th Cir. 2013); ).
"We do not confront the question whether an affirmative defense may be appropriate in a State Implementation Plan," the D.C. Circuit opinion said.

Does anybody know the attenuation on Safale US-05? I just brewed 2 batches using this yeast and I'm trying to figure out what my expected F.G. will be. I can't find a damn thing about this yeast on the internet.
I usually get 73-77% depending on my mash...http://www.fermentis.com/FO/EN/pdf/SafaleUS05.pdf
I think I get 70%-75% usually, but in one recent brew I got 78% attenuation with it.
I figured it was around there but just wanted to make sure.
I just got an apparent 86% from Safale US-05!
I mashed at 149ºF.
This is an IPA, and I went from an OG of 1.061 to an FG of 1.006.
According to Beer Alchemy that's 86.9%, and 7.1% ABV.
That's actually a bit more than I was counting on. This is proabably going to be a bit dry.
The last batch I brewed I split 12 gal between 2 fermenters. One had safale-05 in it and the other some harvested bells yeast.
Both started at 1.062
The s-05 ended at 1.008 (86.4% apparent attenuation)
The bells yeast ended at 1.012 (79.7% apparant attenuation)
My mash temp was 152. I was expecting/hoping both to finish around 1.014, I'll have to compare the tastes after some proper aging
I just did 2 batches with 05.
First one (fresh rehydrated packet) went from 1.056 to 1.010
Second (pitched on the cake from #1) started at 1.076 and is sitting at 1.016 after 10 days.
I have been happy with it.
I too have gotten attenuation over 80% in an IPA with US-05.
I gotta add that I was really concerned about this yeast and clarity in my IPA. It stirred up super easy in the pail when I racked it to the bottling bucket, and I figured it was going to suck after bottle conditioning.
I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm really impressed with the US-05 in both the flavor and it's ability to really stick to the bottom of the bottle after conditioning. I haven't even had this IPA in glass for a full 3 weeks, but it's pouring almost all the way to the bottom of the bottle crystal clear, with less than a 1/8" left behind.
Fermentis, I stand corrected, and I should not have doubted your product.
Now I just gotta stock up on both Notty and this US-05 and do a double batch day, for comparison. It's gonna be tough, as I am really pleased with both...

I really hope you are going to be ok. It must be frustrating not knowing exactly what is wrong, but keep on the people in the hospital not to ignore you. And good you have a friend with you.
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 5:51pm
Geeezzzzzzzzzzzz Shy... ask alot of questions and hope and pray you feel better and dont get ignored at this hospital.. Its better to stay there and get evaluated and treatment and heal up and take a rest also..
Hopefully your friend can support you or your family knows and can help out..
Keep us updated and like I said sending much healing energy and prayers to you.... we cant do much behind this stupid computer screen but pray and hope for a full recovery....
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 6:10pm
Goodness, what a scare. I just Googled out of curiosity. Of course, this is the interwebs and not all is fact but maybe it's a lymph node trying to fight off an infection, or a glandular issue (such as an abcess). I hope that is the case, and the antibiotics can clear it up w/o your having to endure any type of surgery. I'll be thinking of you. Please keep us informed.
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 6:53pm
I'm pretty sure there's going to be surgery. They're just waiting to find out how and exactly where to drain. I saw my lymph nodes On the ultra sound. i know the tech, so she told me what everything was. They were not inflamed. I'm hoping it's just mrsa again and the IV will take care of it.
I just heard someone wrenching down the hall. Awesome.

I still don't know anything. I've been on vancomycin and another antibiotic since about 3:00 yesterday. My night nurse said it takes at least 24 hours for it to work. The swelling is spreading, though. The Percocet isn't helping with the pain much anymore. As long as I don't move my arm, I'm okay. Sleeping was tough because I toss and turn a lot. Plus these hospital beds are definitely not comfortable.
|Sun, 04-07-2013 - 9:06am
Hey Shy,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through this......hospitals *suck*!! I'm glad you have a friend there with you.......
I know your situation is waay beyond this, but I actually thought of you the last time you posted about this problem and I forgot to post a reply. I saw on one of the "doctor" shows that apparently you are not supposed to use a disposable razor more than 2 or three times before you risk the possibility of infection. This is obviously a more serious problem now, but as I grabbed my razor (that's been sitting there for six months!) I thought of your situation......I know you like to run, etc. so I didn't know if this could have been a source of your original infection.
Anyhow.......I really hope this gets resolved for you quickly and keep us updated on how you're doing........
|Sun, 04-07-2013 - 9:31am
Hi Shy
I have been trying to PM you but it is not working... I would like to put you on a healing group list but not sure if I need your first name and location... if possible but the stupid message thingy is not working..
|Sun, 04-07-2013 - 10:36am
Man, I bet you are bored out of your mind.
Coincidentally, I read the same thing about infections from shaving, but this article didn't mention disposable razors. I took it to mean that shaving is a risk because if you nick yourself (and don't even know it) it can become infected rather easily or so this article would lead one to believe. Scary.
Well, I hope they can get this swelling to stop, whatever the cause. Continue to keep us posted.

I've voted for them but they look likely to struggle to get in the top 4 of those listed.
Help required:-
As you may be aware, iT4Communities has been having some funding problems. We lost our government funding when Capacity Builders decided that national programmes should not support front line voluntary organisations directly. Now you and I know that services and systems like iT4C can only sensibly operate on a national scale (if not an international one?) and that we and you do serve front line voluntary organisations and charities directly. But that's water under the bridge now.
Right now, we've been short listed in a competition to win up to £20,000 of funding from MoneySavingExpert.com. We've done incredibly well to get this far - there were over 600 entries and we're in the final twelve. We need you to vote for us Money Saving Expert: Consumer Revenge - Credit Cards, Shopping, Bank Charges, Cheap Flights and more now! The four charities with the most votes when the poll closes on Tuesday 22nd July will become MoneySavingExpert's chosen charities for the year.
We have helped a lot of the most popular charities mentioned MoneySavingExpert's short list (34 projects for the current top 5 in the poll and their associates) but we serve you and them rather than the public directly so we are not as well known as the other short listed charities in the MoneySavingExpert list.
If every one of our 5000+ volunteers voted for us we'd have a great chance of being in the top four. So please go to Money Saving Expert: Consumer Revenge - Credit Cards, Shopping, Bank Charges, Cheap Flights and more to vote for us NOW! No automation please, I know that it's a temptation if you know how but please resist it! On the other hand, do encourage your friends and colleagues to vote for us by passing this message on.
And if we win? We'll use the funding to define more projects, help more projects to completion and encourage more volunteering to help voluntary organisations with their IT needs. So everybody benefits!
We are still, of course, hunting for corporate sponsorship too so please get in touch if you can help here - or know someone who can. Leads are mostly what we need. We'll follow up.

I've voted for them but they look likely to struggle to get in the top 4 of those listed.
I voted for them too, it does look like a bit of an uphill battle though
They will struggle to match the following of Help For Heroes.
I do agree voted after I posted the op..
I had a follow-up to this via a very nice email from development guys for IT4C thanking us for voting even through as stated in this thread very unlikely to get the funding.
But he did say that would like to remind members of two things one that our skills are important so if got time do get involved.
But also if schools want to use the service to get an expert on something due to in-house not having the skills (or want someone to work with the in-house staff to improve the school and in-house staff skill set etc). Then as long as request comes from a PTA (who they class as non-profit) then school use the service etc

Wish we saw this board last year!
My wife loves how stable the board is and the fact she can now take our two boys out for a paddle!

Comments about 12' Odyssey Paddlecraft Stand Up Paddleboard:
I demoed this paddleboard and had a great time with it. 12 feet is a bit on the long side for me as i'm only 5'8 175lbs but that means floatation and speed were not an issue. Because the board is long, it's a bit heavier than i need, but one person can still carry it.

Well, I'm paying Rupert Murdoch £10 a month for up to 16MB and as I'm virtually sitting on my local exchange I'm quite happy. Was with VM but jumped ship as £25 a month for 4MB was a joke. Don't like the hippy at the helm either.
Well, I'm paying Rupert Murdoch £10 a month for up to 16MB and as I'm virtually sitting on my local exchange I'm quite happy. Was with VM but jumped ship as £25 a month for 4MB was a joke. Don't like the hippy at the helm either.
At home we have the 20mb service but because we've got one of the old Home 120 modems, I dont think we can actually get the full 20Mb...and Virgin have never offered to send out a new one
Normally get about 13meg fairly constantly though. Only niggles are when Im downloading from newsgroups it cuts out completely (like everythign, not just NG traffic) for a few minutes every half hour or so - so much for them saying they dont use traffic shaping
And the 4GB 'limit' before the speed is halved is quite annoying...especially when I read it wouldnt apply off peak, but low and behold it does the exact same thing on the weekends...
The problem is they don't know you have an old modem. If you phone up tech support, they'll send out an engineer with a new modem.
Oh, ok..I kind of thought they would be unwilling...and I though they would have a record of what we had
I'll tell my Dad to do that then...not too bothered myself anymore as Im moving out Friday
I've always had stellar performance from Virgin and I've been with them since the 512k/s days and on every speed plan
Downloading from newsgroups is a constant 450-480KB/s on my 4Mb connection. Can't ask for more than that really.
The 50Mb is great. It's the only one that doesn't have any throttling during peak hours:
Virgin Traffic Management Info
You do need a new cablemodem & router (bit of a bugbear here with my latter - it having a fairly-hefty ACL). I got my upgrade from 20Mb gratis for six months, but I did have to pay for the installation. Don't forget the unlimited off-site storage (V Stuff) & 100 free photos (from Snapfish) per month. FYI, all Virgin accounts get a VStuff/Snapfish allocation (according to a sliding scale) although (as per usual) it has been problematic for many users.
Now all they need to do is up their Usenet retention to something more acceptable - although speed is good, 7 days is prety useless. I recently switched to Astraweb; 717 days, 99+% retention & 20 maxed-out SSL connections for £7? A third of Giganews' price for a virtually-identical service. Pretty-much a must-have...
Oops - sorry if I upset anyone for resurrecting this old post. I just realised my bad!
Last edited by zarathustra; 3rd August 2010 at 11:16 PM. Reason: Updating information
I'm on 20mb as well but we get 20mb don't think there are many others using it, so i'm sure it will go down in the future....the problem I have is the cost of phone calls! I have to re-open my skype external account as it was costing a small fortune.
EDIT: oops, dammit....I will share your shame zara!

Thanks, i think i'll suspend my giganews account and give them a go
been using astraweb for about 3 years now.. they just keep adding to the retention period.. theyve been great

Christian Aid calls on parties to make climate manifesto pledge
As parties begin to draw up their manifestos ahead of next year's General Election campaign, Christian Aid, its supporters and faith groups across the UK are demanding that action to tackle climate change be at the heart of parties' plans for government.
Climate change has long been the scourge of poor people around the world, but the reality of global warming was brought to UK shores last winter as floods caused misery and destruction to many parts of England.
This led to leaders from all parties to voice their concern about the impacts of climate change with Prime Minister David Cameron declaring: "I believe man-made climate change is one of the most serious threats that this country and this world faces." Ed Milliband added: "The events of the last few weeks have shown this is a national security issue in our own country too with people's homes, businesses and livelihoods coming under attack from extreme weather," and in November last year Nick Clegg said: "If there was ever a time to sharpen our focus on our green commitments, it's now."
Christian Aid and its supporters are now urging them to match words with action by including policies to address climate change in their manifestos.
Barry Johnston, Christian Aid's Senior UK political advisor said: "They have all talked the talk, but if these warm words are to mean anything party leaders need to back them up with action.
"Voters care about the environment for all sorts of reasons, whether it's insuring their homes, conserving their local environment, or concern for the dreadful impact of climate on the lives and livelihoods of people in the poorest countries. They don't want to see these problems worsened by political point scoring.
"There was a strong cross-party consensus on the urgent requirement to tackle climate change at the last election. Our political leaders need to recommit to this to provide long term security to future generations and the world's most vulnerable.
"The UK has a proud record of helping poor countries by giving vital development aid, but it's in danger of seeing this good work unravel if it allows climate change to wipe out the progress that's been made."
He concluded: "We're calling on the British voting public to use their voice and ask their MPs, from whatever party, to ensure climate change is at the heart of their party manifestos."

I just want to make sure before I subscribe. I had previously preordered the Bestiary Box set but cancelled because I wouldn't be getting the PDFs and could get the box at my local store instead. However....
If I subscribe right now to the Pawns line and tell it to start with the Bestiary Box. Will I also get the pdf?
|Vic Wertz Chief Technical Officer
Just subscribed (had to give up the Deluxe Collectors Edition of RotRL..oh well), and am looking forward to these. They'll be easier for my players to pick out on the battlemat (we play on a huge table!)
I also noticed that the Skull & Shackles set got bumped to November. Not a problem (actually, it'll be easier on my wallet in September!) I imagine that will happen occassionaly.
Anyway, a quick question: I notice that the pawns only go up to Huge size. Any thoughts on a set or two of larger pawns, even up to Colossal? Is that even practical?
Again, looking forward to these!

Does being signed up for the Roleplaying Game or Adventure Path subscription still get you the free PDF for the pawns, or is it now necessary to have the Pawns subscription in order to qualify?
Because there was no Pawns sub when we announced the first four products in the line, we offered a free PDF benefit tied to the subscription that was most appropriate for that product:
Bestiary Box: RPG subscribers
Rise of the Runelords Pawn Collection: AP subscribers
Skull & Shackles Pawn Collection: AP subscribers
NPC Codex Box: RPG subscribers
All of that is still true, though those four sets will now *also* provide the free PDF benefit to Pawns subscribers.
Products announced in the line from here on out, though, will *only* provide the benefit to Pawns subscribers.
And that will be showing up in my downloads when, good sir?

I have ordered the kingmaker adventure path. How would I best support it with cost-effective minis? What would be the benefit to my campaign if I subscribe?
|Scott McFarland
I suspect that Pawns boxes will ship internationally as 'Games' rather than as Books, making them liable for customs duty in the UK.
This means adding not only the cost of shipping such a heavy box, but a sizeable customs charge (I paid £11.75 - that's around $18 - in customs duty + clearance charge for my Beginner's Box).
Which is why my Bestiary Box was bought through my FLGS.
Nothing Paizo can do about it though.
Just beware if you live in the UK - books don't get duty on them, non-books do...

Are there any discussion about creating another pawn set for things like traps, fire, poison gas, or doors?
A GM that hosted a PFS game had some that were a DnD promo from a while ago, and they really help when keeping track of things like these on the game boards/mats.

Good idea -- especially the doors.

That is a great idea. I would add things like spell effects that last (ice wall) and other dongeon features.
Although the list of pawns (both in the actual product and on the product web page) show only a single Yeth Hound, there are actually four of these pawns included in the set.
|Lord Snow
Don't know if this is where I should ask, but here goes:
Looking at the realese dates for the upcoming products in this line, I wonder about the frequency of future realses. That is, it seems like these are coming out REAL SLOW. Are they supposed to come out once evrey 3,4 months?
so my two questions:
1) how fast are these coming out? not talking about the products already announced but about future products
2) will there be pawn collections for older APs? CotCT, Carrion Crown, something along these lines?
|Zesdead Star Voter 2015
I'm with Lord Snow, any chance that some of the older AP's might see a Pawn release? I would love Jade Regent or a Carrion Crown (Carrion Crown would be so re-usable in my home brew) - does Paizo have a view on whether these are a good seller yet?
|Zesdead Star Voter 2015
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes.
I noticed that as part of the pre-production image for the S&S AP pawns, there was a Sea Cat. But, once the real live PDF arrived, the only creatures with S&S AP Bestiary entries that had pawns were ones that showed up in the AP adventure.
I know that space is limited and you want to include pawns that will support the AP adventure directly, but I'm also sure that it is going to be a while before the Sea Cat is collected in a bestiary and a pawn is crafted for it.
Any thoughts on including maybe just a single sheet on non-adventure AP bestiary entries in the future AP pawn products? Or maybe a release that focuses on creatures that haven't been collected in a Bestiary book yet?
Does anyone know what weight of cardstock the pawns are printed on?
I realize it's a few months old, but I haven't seen the answer yet. I use Canson hot press board from Hobby Lobby. It's about 2.5-3mm and works great. You'll need a razor knife to cut it because it is too thick for scissors. For huge you'll need to cut out a piece 75mm x 98mm, large 48mm x 63mm, medium 28mm x 48mm and small 20mm x 38mm.
|Paris Crenshaw
Would Paizo consider selling sheets of blank pawns? I'm thinking it would be cool to have a stack (about the same size as an AP set) that just contains sheets of pre-cut small, medium, large and huge pawn shapes on which I could paste (or even draw) images of monsters that aren't already available as official pawns.

I can haz Kingmaker Pawns set? Pleaze!
|Staffan Johansson
Any plans for doing a second "NPC" set, focusing on classes from Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Magic, Ultimate Combat, and Advanced Class Guide (and possibly the races from Advanced Race Guide if there's room)? The pawns from NPC Codex are often an OK, but not great, fit.
|Charles Scholz
All your recent past and future pawns are for Adventure Paths that you are currently publishing. When are we going to get pawns for past APs?
You publish 2 full APs a year, but it takes some of us a full year to play them.
My group recently started Serpent's Skull. I would like to have pawns for them.
|Charles Scholz
When the first pawns came out (Bestiary) there was a thread about how to store them. It had some really good ideas - people who could organize them in box or (as I do) a few binders with the clear sheets meant to hold buisness cards or photos.
|DM Papa.DRB
Yea, that thread is HERE. I posted links to plastic boxes available at Amazon that I use. I have 5 of them (3 with orange tabs, 2 with blue tabs) and when I get the Mummy's Mask set, I will buy another one (orange).
I also copied the listing from Paizo of what was in each box to a file, printed it out and taped it to the top of the box so I know what is in each one.

|Zoltán Mészáros
Is there a possibility to receive Pawn Sets for ealier APs ? It would be great to have some pawns for Jade Regent for example, as many encounters are currently basically unresolvable with current Pawn Sets from the beginning, even not counting unique characters.
- It's possible to meet 10 Troglotydes + an advanced troglotyde at one point. Thats a sum of five Bestiary 1 or Beginner Boxes not counting the leader.
- in the same adventure it's also possible to fight againts 10 Dire Corbies at once, if you get them during dinner. Thats would be five Bestiary 3 box. And we also have a Dire Corbie cleric. I would happily proxy her with a tengu, if appropiate tengu characters were available
- in adventure 2 you fight against multiple tengu ninja
As an alternative blank pawn sheets would be acceptable.

It sort of defeats the purpose of a bra when your nipples are made from solid diamond. No, wait, not diamond. The stuff they use to cut diamond. And it's probably not good for Queen Latifah's self esteem to be running into Victoria Beckham. It'd be like Lindsay Lohan running into Stephen Hawking. Or a NASA scientist. Or a cat pawing at a ball of yarn.
@48 I am guessing she just lays there and stares are that ceiling
Is it just me or does someone need some Proactiv on that forehead? Who knew extensions caused such bad acne…?
As much as I like firm little titties, I'd be more than happy to play with these big, albeit fake, titties. In addition to firm titties, I like poky little nipples and I"ve always been clear on this subject.
The hair on your back only runs halfway down? Does that mean the hair on your ass only runs halfway up?
OK, Latifah's not looking her best, but I'd still take her over the stick (she'd have to lose the cornrows first, though). VC looks like the queen of some alien race of insects or something. Yuck. And one of her nips looks like it's trying to make a run for her armpit. That's not pretty. Maybe Beckham has some godawful fetish, like he wants to be diapered or something. That's my theory, anyway. Either that or it's just true love.
That was for #28 by the way.
Umpa Lumpa dippity dee
I think she looks like an orange piggy
I think it's funny that they drive those Escalades around, clearly she also owns a flying saucer.
I really like that tank top though!
*56* No…..uz younger girlz like to keep zhaved
if U muzt know…
#33: I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the lame similarities between this and an old article. At least come up with a new comparison guys.
@58 Kelli, When are you going to give us a link to a picture of you?
#58. Good job shaving your ass AND back. I didn't know people with Down's Syndrome were of such steady hand.
You use DIAMONDS to cut DIAMONDS. Idiot.
i'd let her cut my face with those.
Yes! Yes! waaaa haaa haaaa (evil laugh, rubbing my hands together)
Everybody thinks Kelli is a cutter, but it's only from shaving that baboon body of hers.
Uh, Skeletor called, he wants his rotting corpse back.
Holy shit. Someone please, PLEASE, make her eat. Something. I don't care what. As long as it contains calories.
*60* Bite Me……When hell freezez over…..
One day you'll zee me on Americaz Top Model…..U know I
could win that thing if I went on it…no zhit….and in my
family…lookz come better & better az we age…lucky me…
Queen Latifah looks pained, it's hilarious.
bubble that should be coming out of Latifah's head:
"I could eat this pork chop for dinner and her little soccer playin hubby too"
bubble out of Victoria's head:
"an image of a turkey"
too bad it's only a dream….I think there's a lettuce leaf calling her name….hear that? yes….
Is there one picture out there where this starving lady is smiling? She is never ever smiling. Life is so tough for her.
If you really think this anorexic fake pimpled thing is sexy, then…well, I suppose you're in luck, now that I think about it. Since it's Friday night, instead of hassling the singles scene you can just head to Walmart and rub your dick against the Barbie doll display. It's pretty much the same thing as banging Vic the Stick.
Does this woman honestly think she's attractive? Damn…….she is beyond ugly.
#67 – actually we're all hoping you'll be the first accidental death on next season's "Zurvivor."
Nice RACK and that is all. Ass is too fuckin small, and uglier than fuck. She is getting OLD LADY skin. Skinny, gross, everywhere else, just tits that I wouldn't mind shooting my man juice on.
The back of her hair looks like a goddang weed eater got ahold of it, or some fucking Edward Scisor Hands tried to give her a shag cut.
Would any of you men REALLY want to have sex with that? Looks painful!
Really jrzmommy? U really wanna Playhate me?
Whatever….I could win Zurvivor with my eyez
fuckin clozed..all I need iz a ztring bikini
and a few dickbrainz fuckerz.
@67 Kelli, Why? If you are so hot, show us what you look like!
holy god did they lock her in a glass case she needed to escape from?
P.S. Diamonds are cut with a laser or a saw with carbon and diamond dust or you can "Brute" diamonds where they use 2 diamonds spinning in opposite directions to cut one another ;)
Yes, I am Bill Nye
Kelli, I'm sitting here laughing so hard I'm crying. You could win America's top model? And yet you are……hmmmmm…..posting on the Superfish all day, taking great care to change all your S's to Z's. Wow.
You must be just so humble, you don't want to get on the show and make everyone else look bad.
I am never on here all day….check my poztz….U people R
Zo U think I am,,,,,the only reazon I come here iz becoz

thinkz you'll come to Fla. and kill me or kidnap me..
fuck..itz not my fault…zhit…I would in a minue
it took her till I waz 16 to get a freakin myzpace.
Kelli, is your keyboard missing an "S" key? Check your local thrift store for a replacement. Heck, just swipe one.
Victoria: "…and see, when I shift my weight to my RIGHT hip, my nipples even ROTATE!!!"
Queen Latifah: "OMG! I can do that too! And we're both wearing grey. We are SO twins!!!!!"
#80 — how old are you that your mom is keeping you from posting your pic?
I think our new favorite American celebrity won't be American at all…
@83 – she's "this many" (holds up fingers and toes and tries to count)
I'm 18…but I ztill live with her…and zince theirz zo many
pervz at the beach…zhez afraid…coz zome guy chazed

U people…U fuckerz hate my azz…zhit..I'd be dead
probably the zame day the picz got out…….????
HEY!!!! You have mail. See you later I am out of here!!!!!!! It is beer:30
It is so unreal how different this girl looks from when she was a spice girl. It isn't the same person. She is not an older version of herself with spice. She is completely different. Michael Jackson should find out who Victoria's plastic surgeon is and get some. It is so scary what doctors can do.
Those babies look to be 100% grade a plastic. never could understand why anyone could get excited about plastic. Just buy a blow up doll if thats what does it for you.
Kelli — we don't hate anyone on this site — we're all good, lovely people…
you have nothing to worry about. nobody here will kill you unless you're ugly.
Ok, I'm writing you back right now!!!!
Zo….what cha R zayin…iz that I'm zafe….iz that Y Prettybaby

you should be pleaZed for people to have sex with your pics. it's probably the closest you'll get to losing your virginity.
what kind of camera was used for victoria-beckham-shopping-nipples-09.jpg?
Why would that hurt Queen Latifah's self esteem? Do you seriously think she wants to look like Victoria Beckham? I can't imagine anyone wanting to look like an alien freak. The Queen is gorgeous.
She's from the Isle of Dr. Moreaux – she made a break for it when Marlon Brando died.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. Arrived quickly and looks great. Thanks!
Not 100% cotton
Nice shirt, but it's actually made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, which means in some climates it will not be as comfortable as if it were 100% cotton.
bought two
i have two if these shirts now because i love the fit. I'm a muscular 5'11" and this shirt fits me great.

Review Title
I got the navy blue version. Great shirt design, especially the fact it is tagless. The only issues I had was the fit is a bit slimmer and the material is a bit thinner then I expected.
love this shirt
i really like this shirt. it looks cool and fits good. pretty thin, but that's not a problem

Another week, another blanket has been started. This one is going to be for me and is a way of using up some of my yarn stash mountain. The only musts are:
- shades of red, pink, fawn and cream
- pure wool
This one is a yarn eater and I am really enjoying the zig zag ripple.
Loving the mild weather here - looking forward to the re-vamped garden to be. Lots of red brick garden walls, new lawn, lots of plants in pots, a small wild meadow area (inspired by Sarah Raven) and a Blackthorn and Medlar to replace our old Bramley Apple (it was sadly just too big for our garden). At the moment the garden is a tip but hopefully by the Summer it may look a lot nicer.
Missing "Call the Midwife" on Sundays - what a lovely drama series - so pleased that a second one will be made.
I hope you like the new cleaner blog look. I thought I might do away with the colourful banner and showcase each new photo by displaying them slightly larger. Please let me know what you think. I can always change the banner and add my own photos again. I have also updated my blog lists etc and will hopefully continue to add some lovely new blogs that I have discovered recently.

Hockey slaps Barnett over GSTPUBLISHED: 20 Sep 2013 07:10:00 | UPDATED: 22 Sep 2013 06:16:05PUBLISHED: 20 Sep 2013 PRINT EDITION: 20 Sep 2013
"There will be no chang Photo: Michele Mossop
Jacob Greber, James Massola and Fleur Anderson
Treasurer Joe Hockey has dismissed calls from state governments to overhaul the goods and services tax and has challenged premiers to bring their own spending under control, saying the GST is not a cure-all for their budget woes.
Mr Hockey's refusal to countenance raising or widening the GST came as Liberal Party elder statesmen Alexander Downer and Jeff Kennett urged the new Coalition government to tackle reform of the tax, and as cabinet minister Bruce Billson admitted the government understood "there is a need to consider the tax framework that supports our nation".
The comments followed calls by West Australian Premier Colin Barnett for Tony Abbott to show national leadership and consider raising the rate or broadening the base of the tax, and as the nation's three big east-coast states called for other changes to the GST, including applying it to web purchases.
Speaking from Bali, Mr Hockey poured cold water on the reform push, telling AFR Weekend that the government would in no way waver from its pre-election commitment that there be "no change to the GST, full stop, end of story".
Mr Hockey said he could understand some of the structural challenges facing Mr Barnett – as well as all premiers – but added that "changing the GST is not a silver bullet".
Why WA's budgetary performance is deteriorating
"And quite frankly, I think we've got to look at other areas to try and improve the sustainability of the states' finances, given they in particular have enormous growth challenges with the expenditure side and have now for a few years had some challenges on the revenue side."
In downgrading WA's AAA credit rating on Wednesday, rating agency Standard & Poor's pointed to the Barnett government's "unwillingness to address long-term structural issues'' for driving the state's "deteriorating budgetary performance''. It pointed to the government's "limited political will'' to rein in spending.
While some states fell short of supporting Mr Barnett's call for full-scale GST reform on Friday, he said "I've got to tell you in private they do". Victorian Premier Denis Napthine said he did not support changes to the rate, though he did renew his call for an overhaul to distribution arrangements so his state got a "fair share" of revenue.
Queensland also failed to back Mr Barnett, with acting state Treasurer Jeff Seeney saying: "We've got no comment to make [other than] it's certainly not something the Queensland government has considered."
Mr Kennett, a former Victorian premier, urged Mr Abbott to face up to the need for a GST reform agenda.
Politicians limit their ability to govern
But he predicted that GST reform would not happen in the first term of an Abbott government because former prime minister Julia Gillard's government had "destroyed trust in politicians".
"One of the difficulties of our democratic process and the shortness of terms is that a lot of politicians give a commitment to make sure they don't scare the public but then actually limit their ability to govern,'' he told the AFR Weekend.
"I would like a proper review of the tax system including the GST. What the outcome would have been I can't predict. But you can't have a proper review without it."
Mr Kennett said he had hoped, before the election, that there "might have come an opportunity to apply the GST to all exempt areas, not necessarily to raise it, but that [broadening it] would have raised about $30 billion more, that would have helped address the deficit".
"But bearing in mind that he [Mr Abbott] is establishing a higher standard of leadership then his predecessors, I wouldn't give it a 5 per cent chance. "We have, as a country, a massive challenge with growth, a bigger challenge with productivity and a big challenge with costs."
Barnett's call for GST reform at wrong time
Mr Downer, the longest-serving foreign minister in Australian history during the Howard government and a former cabinet colleague of Mr Abbott, urged the Prime Minister to adopt GST reform, saying it was clear "we know what needs to be done".
He said Mr Barnett's call for GST reform in the first term of government was "foolish", given Mr Abbott's promise not to touch the tax, but said there was a "perfectly respectable" case for GST reform in the second term. "Tony Abbott can't and won't breach his trust with the Australian public,'' he said.
"But there is a legitimate issue about the quality of our tax system in which, since the great reforms of the Howard government on July 1, 2000 [when the GST came into effect], there hasn't been any tax reforms,'' he said.
"The tax system has become messy again as ad hoc decisions have been made.
"There is a case for a serious re-look at the tax system, the 'Henry Review Plus', which would include looking at the indirect system as well," Mr Downer said. "They should do work now in the first term on what an ideal tax system would look. It wouldn't take long; we know what needs to be done, and then make decisions on what to take to the next election."
Bruce Billson, an Abbott cabinet member and Small Business Minister, left the door open for changes to the GST eventually. "My view is the same as the Prime Minister's, of course, and is that Labor created an expenditure problem, not a revenue problem," he said.
Tax white-paper process
"But we do understand there is a need to consider the tax framework that supports our nation and our citizens into the future.''
"We have committed to a tax white-paper process where, if there are findings out of that that recommend future changes, we will consider those and, if there is a case for change, we will put it to a subsequent election.''
ACT Labor Chief Minister Katy Gallagher backed Mr Barnett's calls for a discussion about the GST, putting her at odds with former treasurer Wayne Swan and acting Labor federal leader Chris Bowen, who both staunchly oppose any changes to the tax.
Ms Gallagher urged her federal Labor colleagues to press for changes. "I think if there is to be any rational discussion about the GST, all states and territories need to back any federal government that's prepared to examine it and look at whether the rate does need to go up or exemptions needs to change," she told the ABC.Still reeling in the wake of his state's AAA credit rating loss, Mr Barnett on Thursday night urged his Coalition counterparts at federal level to "take some leadership".
"I don't expect a white knight to come from Canberra and fill up our Treasury with money butI do believe that Tony Abbott as Prime Minister . . . does have to show some leadership on fixing some of the fiscal imbalance of the Australian federation," he told ABC TV.
