Oh, duh! I completely forgot about the Don Blake aspect of Thor. Makes sense now, and I do like that you have developed him "organically" that way, rather than just mechanically.
I applaud your notion of keeping them "same, yet different," though I think it could stand to be even a bit more different than the source material.
I'm not sure I understand giving him the Ship's Surgeon trait, particularly at such a high level (19) when their impact is lesser (at least that trait).
I also can't help but think Thor should have some Mythic levels, but I'm interested to see what else you do.
One of these days I should get around to posting my take on Golarion's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Just finished a Double Jack IPA. Those things have so much flavor rolling around the tongue. Mmmm.
I really need to head back up to Paso Robles soon and grab a couple of their barrel-aged dbas before they run out (since they're discontinuing it; that's if they aren't already out.)
Just learned that Golden Road Brewing here in LA is going to be opening shop in the Central Phoenix area, which is great. It's one of my favorite breweries here (even if I don't get up there much), and now when I visit back in AZ I can get their stuff fresh. If only Four Peaks would set up shop here in CA in return, I'd be a happy beer lover! :D

Now lets say the guys reaction was to go to confess at the temple, well what if my next thing was to convince you not to go and to carry out the task? What if my next thing is to convince you to not do your response to that but instead to go carry out the task? How far would you say it needs to go before the guy carries out the task/kills himself to stop it?
About 1 hour per level.
New pictures of two of the Occult iconics (the psychic and what looks like the Medium?) on Paizo's FB page.
In full-color!
(And Erik Mona, too!)
EDIT: I'm guessing Medium because he appears to be holding a Harrow deck. He also has a star-knife, interestingly enough. And the psychic is using some kind of telekinesis to have a couple of objects floating around her, including a crossbow!
DM_Blake wrote:
OK, fine, as a trusted friend you've told your victim that his half-brother raped his wife. You make the check and he believes you. You still have no way to make him murder his half-brother. He might just go to the authorities. He might go punch him in the face and tell him to leave and never come back. He might go stone his wife to death because that's what people do in his culture. You have no control over what he does.
Something like this might even break the spell, causing the person to no longer consider you a friend. Oftentimes, the bearer of bad tidings- no matter how well intentioned- ends up being the person that ends up as the object of misdirected ire. There's a reason there is a trope of the boy/girl ending a friendship when the friend reveals that said boy/girl's significant other was a cheater/dirtbag/etc, because it often happens.
It's things like these that make me enjoy spells like charm person from a roleplay perspective, because there are still a lot of nuances of interplay between player and DM that must go on in order to achieve the ends that you want to achieve; or at least more nuances than can (should, IMO) be found in a simple d20 check.

Palmer's IQ being only 140 is...surprising considering the impossible supertech he's invented.
He didn't really invent all that much that we've seen, though, has he? The specs on the suit he got mainly from info he obtained when he took over Queen Enterprises. Felicity figured out how to get some key parts of it working.
I can't think offhand of a whole lot he's been shown or described as doing, honestly, which is too bad. I feel as if he's kind of been dumbed down a bit since he first appeared on the show.

I wonder if the Captain Cold pledge of no killing is also setting him up to be one of the 7 supers in the new spin off show. Still wondering how they'll get more traditional hero types to work with a criminal like him.
That's assuming he's going to be a protagonist, and not one of the main antagonists of the series.
Saldiven wrote:
So, you expect Jason to come up with an exhaustive list of possibilities? You're also misquoting Jason. He didn't say, "He can still not carry it out by killing himself." He said, "the creature might take its own life instead; it's not your puppet." As a DM, I could come up with dozens of other "mights," too...
Those "mights" are even in the spell description itself:
Charm Person wrote:
An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing.
(emphasis mine)
There is and should be a lot of leeway and interpretation in what a GM allows a character to do with this spell, and it really should focus largely on roleplaying and what works best for that particular gaming table. (IMO obviously, as clearly not everyone's or else this thread wouldn't exist)
Kthulhu wrote:
And yes, I realize that Barry Allen ends up with Iris West in the comics. But the show is an adaptation, and shouldn't chain itself to the comic book continuity.
Agreed. Especially when events outside the writers' preconceptions may present alternatives, such as the unpredictable chemistry (or lack thereof) between performers. In this case, Gustin and Panabaker have shown more of it than Gustin and Patton, for instance, and I think that pairing (Barry/Caitlin) may have more legs than Barry/Iris does. Might have less drama, though, which writers hate.
Just out of curiosity, is it possible that a Runelord might have changed traits at some point? For example, say that the Runelord of Lust became increasingly warlike, and began to embody the traits of Wrath more fully.
Would such lateral movement have been allowed or are they eternally "locked in" to whatever sin/virtue they began with?
(I know that there are mechanics that are essentially schools from Inner Sea Magic, but even wizards can retrain schools using the mechanics from Ultimate Campaign, so even from a "by the books" approach, it should still be theoretically possible.)
Wow, that is terrible news.
I never knew Mike personally, but I do recall interacting with him online here and there in D&D related forums, and was proud to have been able to contribute some Mystara-related history and lore for his Bargle article. He was one of the Paizo guys who seemed to have a fondness for Mystara (still my favorite TSR world).
A talented writer and editor. My condolences to his friends and family.

Then not FLOODING the market but the summoners would definitely be flooding the market like crazy nonstop.
To what end? The market for wands in general, much less specific wands like these, would be extremely limited in most fantasy worlds.
The ones where you can't throw a stone and hit a mid- to high-level adventurer.
As much as I'd like to see a gladiator AP, I think it is problematic in a lot of ways. One, is integrating spellcasters and the less martial types into such a campaign. The other is just keeping the gladiator theme going as the characters progress into the higher levels; either finding motives to keep them gladiators, or finding motives to get the gladiators out of the arena and into some more world-saving campaign stuff.
That said, I'd love to see it done.

Numeria is not an homage to S3 or Gamma World - if it is, it's unrecognizable as such. Maybe an homage to some swords and lasers sci-fi, but not GW or S3. If anything a few of the complexes should have felt like S3 (an actual downed space ship) but I wasn't feeling it.
Lords of Rust has a decidedly Gamma World feel to it to me.

The cinematic Asgard however, seems to be more along the lines of the Kirby incarnation with how Clarke would describe as "sufficiently advanced science."
True, though they've already borrowed quite a bit from Simonson's Thor run, too. Malekith the Accursed, Kurse/Algrim the elf, the Casket of Ancient Winters- all of these were Simonson creations. There has even been talk of introducing Beta Ray Bill at some point.
Then, too, Simonson is hardly one unfamiliar with Kirby's creations. His Orion of the New Gods series is amazing (and, it should be noted, Kirby's New Gods borrowed a lot of elements from various mythologies itself even as it combined it with science.)
Spiral_Ninja wrote:
That's the mythological version; in the MU it was reversed - Sif originally had golden hair, which was then cut off and replaced by hair the dwarves Eitri and Brokk made from shadows. That's why comic Sif has dark hair.
EDIT: Durhurur. Should have read a couple posts down first. Reading fail!
EDIT2: Walt Simonson's classic Thor run actually did incorporate a great deal of Norse mythology in it. And on a side note, he's currently writing and drawing Ragnarok which in many ways can be seen as a "sequel" to his Marvel Thor run (albeit not a Marvel comic).
Would you ever see incorporating Da Vinci like inventions into Golarion as evidence of its technological advances? Things like the armored tank or revolving bridge.
Is there a particular place in Golarion that such advances might currently best fit? (Alkenstar comes to mind as a possibility, but any others?)

I don't know for sure, but I like to think that the increasing dominance of "nerd culture" and the decline of groups putting forth the "D&D is evil" message have improved things since then, but I can tell you that over the years, Pathfinder has certainly reaped some benefits from *not* being D&D.
In my experience, having grown up on and around the hobby since the 80s, I can say that there has been an observable shift in perceptions towards roleplaying in general, and D&D specifically. Though I'm not terribly active these days beyond theorycrafting and forum interactions, I find it nevertheless surprising how many people I meet IRL who play D&D- and even more so, who are women. Which was just not the case when I was growing up, sadly.
I feel both elated and sad that it seems a bit more socially acceptable now than it was then (elated for everyone else, sad for my childhood), but I would definitely say there appears to be a shift. I think video gaming (and WoW) have also contributed in a big way.
You can add Hawkeye to that list.
I'm increasingly disappointed that we don't appear to be getting an actual "Captain America 3" movie at this point, as Winter Soldier is still my favorite of the Marvel stable.
Inquisitor for Aramis, definitely (some kind of combination).
I'd probably go with Fighter for Rochefort of the novels or Christopher Lee. One thing to consider, if you're going for a period campaign, is that everyone is going to be very lightly armored, so losing out on heavy armor will be a definite consideration. I might suggest giving everyone (or at least all martials) Combat Expertise as a bonus feat.
So, on the "claw"-
It is kind of weird looking. It looks like there are 3 blades like Wolverine's, but actually each "blade" consists of 3 separate prongs- total of 9 prongs altogether. I really can't quite tell what it's supposed to be.
Based on whatever the person wielding it is wearing, I think baron arem heshvaun's theory is correct and it's supposed to be the MCU Satan's Claw, because that outfit (what we can see of it) looks an awful lot like Strucker's uniform from the teaser at the end of Winter Soldier.

looked at the Bobbi Morse wiki... in the early stories she was in love with Ka-Zar from the Savage Land, and going on missions for Fury...
She was also a scientist, which seems to have been jettisoned (understandably, as there are already two on the team). I'm not really sure how much of Bobbi's background other than her SHIELD connections they're retaining for this show.
I suspect the more narrowed focus on region/theme is due to developmental needs on the Paizo side- they are trying to find a person who will create a module for them, after all (not just a new freelancer), and they more than likely decided it is better to direct that effort towards a module that will fit into the rest of the publishing lineup, rather than just being a "generic" Pathfinder module.

College News
Student Government Association Recognizes Parking Issues, Aims to Inform Students
The Student Government Association (SGA) is on a mission to inform students about ways to alleviate some of their stress related to parking on campus, and is working with the campus community on the issue.
More light was shed during the "Ask the President" Facebook Forum, hosted by the College on September 26, as more than 32 comments about parking were posted in the forum.
"The SGA sees this student input as incredibly valuable, and realizes that parking is an issue on campus. We are constantly monitoring and assessing the matter. The weekly Senate meetings held on Thursdays during free period in the COP Conference Room are often filled with discussions on the topic," said the SGA in a prepared statement.
The association is encouraging students to be proactive in planning for their daily travel, and to consider the benefits and rationale of parking in the outer lots, which are offered for commuters and residents.
One SGA representative commented, "One thing that is not going to help the situation get any better is when you have students parking in the wrong lots." They went on to explain that these situations only make students, who are registered for those lots, frustrated and spread general animosity with regards to parking.
As a follow-up to the forum, SGA released this list of facts about parking at Fisher.
Clarifying Facts about St. John Fisher College Parking:
- The college added 104 parking spots to the Murphy Hall parking lots during the summer of 2012.
- There are sufficient spaces for the anticipated number of registered cars on campus at any given time.
- Overflow parking lots should not be forgotten. These lots include Park and Ride, Murphy Hall, and the Alesi Academic Center.
- The walk from Park and Ride to LeChase Commons and the academic corridor averages between 10 and 15 minutes.
- No spaces for faculty/staff parking in Lot A (in front of the Wegmans School of Pharmacy and the Skalny Science Center) were added for the 2012-2013 school year.
- The campus shuttle is on a schedule. SGA will be further investigating complaints about the timing and delays to this schedule. Any further issues with the shuttle should be referred to Safety and Security or SGA.
- In compliance with local ordinances and code requirements imposed by the Town of Pittsford and New York State, the construction of a parking garage and the addition of a crosswalk by the Alesi building are not feasible at this time.
Students who are looking for more information should contact Lee Struble, the Assistant Director of Safety and Security Lee (firstname.lastname@example.com) or the SGA (email@example.com).

text: Open on a view of C.J., seen the wrong way through the peephole of a door. She looks incredibly tiny, of course, but you can see that she is quickly throwing a shirt on over her bra. I imagine the people who have a Wonder Woman fantasy are already circulating that screencap on the internet. C.J. approaches the peephole, and soon her eye fills the screen. She opens the door and is greeted by Staff Sergeant Kelty (who is there with another sergeant). We establish that it's 5:30 in the morning as they invade her apartment. As Kelty speaks to C.J., she keeps reaching to close the door, only to have someone else come walking through. The door is finally closed just as Kelty holds up a White House floor plan and tells C.J. that while she has been exiting at one particular door, she should probably start using the west gate, which will be closer to her new parking spot. He tells her that in the event of a situation, she'll need to use the designated exit and proceed directly to Marine One so that she (along with the President and the National Security Adviser) can be flown to their secure location. C.J.: "What kind of situation?" Kelty: "A nuclear attack." C.J.: "Are we expecting one?" Kelty: "Well, any kind of attack. But nuclear's gonna top the list." I'm glad to know that someone has these things ranked. Was there some kind of American Idol-like voting system to establish those rankings? (Note to self: pitch Apocalypse Idol to the head of Fox.) While this conversation is going on, people are scurrying around C.J.'s apartment doing mysterious things. The only thing I can clearly make out is that one person seems to dismantle and carry away her computer. I hope they bring her a new one. A new computer always cheers me up. I'm typing this on my new iMac, and I'm as happy as a clam. Kelty tells C.J. that if there is a situation while she is at home she should proceed with all due haste to a field that is about a mile away from her house. C.J.: "A field?" Kelty: "A pasture, more like." C.J.: "I'll be standing with cows?" Kelty: "A couple of horses is all, and they'll scoot out the way as soon as the 'copter shows up." It was at this point that I suspected that this would be a pretty good episode. Kelty's utter humorlessness had me laughing out loud, and his dialogue was pitch perfect tidewater dialect ("more like" and "out the way"). Deborah Cahn also wrote "The Supremes"; I really hope she can be persuaded to write more episodes. (Of course, good episodes are much harder to recap, so maybe I should hope she stays away.)

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Smartphones calling the shots now
Original 'bricks' ancient history at MTS
When the first wireless phone call was made on the MTS network 25 years ago, people would have laughed at you if you told them you would someday be able to watch the hockey game on your phone.
For one thing, the two-and-a-half-pound brick of a phone didn't have a screen. The other thing, at $4,000 per phone, was there weren't enough around to justify the technological innovation now swarming all over the mobile sector.
When the novelty technology was introduced in Manitoba 25 years ago (Motorola made the first wireless phone call in New York City 15 years before), there were only two cellphone towers here and ridiculously little coverage. Two years later, MTS had a whopping 25,000 subscribers for the sexy new technology.
Fast-forward from the late '80s and wireless is now the most important segment of MTS's business, with just shy of 500,000 wireless subscribers. It represents 37 per cent of its total revenue, with long-distance charges at about eight per cent and falling.
And the dynamic around the wireless phenomenon continues to change.
It's not about talking on the phone anymore. There's plenty of other things we use our smartphones for. Voice telephony on wireless is so last-century.
"It has really become a device that people do things on and actually talk very little on," said MTS president Kelvin Shepherd. "There's lots of email, a lot of video... communication that is not your traditional phone conversation."
It would have been hard to imagine that old Motorola brick-phone would be the precursor of the multi-dimensional smartphone of today that most of us use for a combination of camera/email/mobile computer/music-player/telephone.
MTS officials say smartphone applications such as making retail payments by tapping it at the point-of-sale receiver is around the corner.
When former Winnipeg mayor Bill Norrie made that first wireless call 25 years ago, the two cellphone towers in the province could handle just 15 calls at a time. Now wireless is the most lucrative piece of every telco's business.
In Manitoba alone, MTS's infrastructure has grown from the two towers -- one on a Portage and Main highrise, the other in West St. Paul -- to 200, covering 97 per cent of the province's population. There are about a million calls and texts per day bouncing through the busy system.
Telcos such as MTS are doing everything they can to make their network even more robust, because wireless-data usage is the fastest-growing piece of their business.
At MTS, wireless-data revenue is growing at about 30 per cent a year compared to a 9.5 per cent decline in long-distance revenue and a 3.9 per cent decline in revenue from local-access service. Even the nine per cent growth in revenue from high-speed Internet service is mild in comparison.
That's why the company continues to invest in expanding its wireless network.
MTS announced this week it would be expanding its 4G-LTE network, currently available in Winnipeg and Brandon only, to six more communities -- Steinbach, Selkirk, Portage la Prairie, Ste. Anne, Grand Beach and Victoria Beach.
The 4G-LTE network allows more data to be carried within the same amount of radio spectrum.
In addition to the six communities that will be added this year to the higher-capacity 4G-LTE network, the company plans further expansion in 2014.

SD man charged in taking 2-year-old hostage
Raymond Cuny, 32, was charged Wednesday with first-degree kidnapping and two counts of second-degree burglary
Associated Press
RAPID CITY, S.D. — Police accuse a South Dakota man of taking a 2-year-old boy hostage and barricading himself inside a home for six hours.
Raymond Cuny, 32, was charged Wednesday with first-degree kidnapping and two counts of second-degree burglary. A court clerk says Cuny is being held in the Pennington County Jail without bond.
Authorities say Cuny took the boy hostage Tuesday evening and locked himself inside a home in Rapid City. A special response team forced its way inside and rescued the child later that night.
The child was returned unharmed to his family and no officers were injured.
The Pennington County sheriff said Cuny had two active felony warrants prior to the incident.
A trial date has not been set yet for Cuny.

DEFINITION of 'Bailee'
An individual who temporarily gains possession, but not ownership, of a good or other property under a bailment. The bailee is entrusted with the possession of the good or property by another individual known as the bailor. This relationship is based on a contractual agreement (a bailment) between the bailor and the bailee, which specifies the terms and purpose of the change in ownership.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bailee'
While the goods are in the bailee's possession, the bailor is still the rightful owner. However, the bailee is responsible for their safekeeping and eventual return. Typically, the bailee is not entitled to use the goods or property. A bailee can serve as the overseer of an investment portfolio for a specified time period, or can be appointed to manage a rental property in the owner's absence. The bailee ensures the assets are kept safe until the owner of those assets is able to resume management.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucky Harbor book 4,
Sarah (Feeling Fictional) (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucky in Love: Number 4 in series (Lucky Harbor) (Mass Market Paperback)
4.5 Stars
I love the first 3 books in Jill Shalvis' Lucky Harbor series so was looking forward to picking up Lucky in Love. Anyone who read the earlier books will know to expect a sweet and steamy romance which is full of humour and is just generally a fun read and that is exactly what you get with this book. You don't have to have read the first 3 books in order to enjoy Lucky in Love but this is such a wonderful series that I would highly recommend you do. The first 3 books are centred around sisters Maddie, Tara and Chloe but although they are mentioned a couple of times in this book we don't actually see them. This is the start of a new trilogy set in the same town and focusing on budding friends and fellow chocoholics Mallory, Amy and Grace. Each of these women have their own set of problems and will find their happy ever after in one of the books.
Up first is Mallory, she is a strong and caring woman, someone who has spent her whole life looking out for others and trying to keep her family together. Known as the Lucky Harbor good girl she is the one that everyone turns to when they need help but for once she wants to do something bad - something that is just about making herself feel good. Amy and Grace decide that what Mallory really needs is to bring out her inner bad girl and find herself a Mr Wrong, someone who is going to bring fun and passion into her life. Ty is staying in Lucky Harbor while he recuperates from an injury, he is determined to get back to his life in the military as quickly as possible and has no intention of staying in the small town any longer than he has to. Known around the town as Mysterious Cute Guy he is the perfect candidate for Mallory's Mr Wrong but can she settle for just a bit of fun without getting her heart broken in the process?
The chemistry between Ty and Mallory was off the charts from the moment they met and considering that Mallory was attempting to find her inner bad girl this was probably the dirtiest book in the series so far. Both characters have their own issues that they need to deal with and are wary of getting into a relationship for different reasons but you can see from the beginning how perfect they are for each other. I love a military hero and Ty was perfect - he is alpha enough to be sexy as hell but deep down he's a softy, especially when it comes to Mallory. In the past Mallory has obviously been a bit of a push over, always willing to drop everything to help others and never putting herself first so it was really good to see her start to stand up for what she wanted. I loved seeing the reactions of other people around the town as she let go of her good girl persona for the first time.
I also really enjoyed the friendship that develops between Mallory, Amy and Grace. They were brought together in unlikely circumstances and bonded over their fear of the storm and thanks to a common love of chocolate. There is a lot less bickering between them than there was between the sisters in the earlier books, they still tease each other but they have chosen to be friends and have more in common than Maddie, Tara and Chloe so they don't spend so much time arguing. I'm dying to find out what the history is between Amy and sexy forest ranger Matt so I'm very pleased that their story is up next in At Last but I'm also curious to see who Grace finds love with.
This is a series I can't recommend highly enough to anyone who loves contemporary romance, if you're looking for a feel good story you can't go wrong with any of these books. Jill Shalvis has become a must buy author for me and after I've finished this series I'm looking forward to working my way through her back list titles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book 4,
Peabody (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucky in Love (A Lucky Harbor Novel Book 4) (Kindle Edition)
I wondered if I would struggle with this book, as I loved the first three so much and how the burgeoning relationship between Maddie, Tara and Chloe was woven through the first three books.
Mallory Quinn plays it safe. Is a good girl, taking care of everyone else and devoting her life to this.
Mysterious Cute Guy, AKA Ty Garrison, is solitary, does not want involvement, no connections!
They both carry the emotional scars from the past, and the guilt of that has led them down the path they are both treading!
So what happens when Mallory decided she does not want to play it safe, be the good girl, always thinking of others?
At first, I struggled to connect with Mallory, mainly as I was missing the sisters! The whole "Chocoholics" thing with Amy and Grace felt almost forced, as if to recreate the magic that was interwoven through the first three books with the sisters.
But, in saying that, after the first 20% or so, I was drawn into the story of Mallory and Ty (although I do wish we had had more glimpses of the first 3 couples! They are all of an age in a small town, surely they would be friends!!).
Again, as with the other Jill Shalvis books, it is a lovely heart-warming, almost gentle read about two souls overcoming their own demons and issues and realising they belong with each other, with a great set of secondary characters and a great setting, it makes for a fun, light, relaxing read.
However, maybe because I have read the first 4 ( well, 4.5 books if you count the little Christmas novella) one after the other, I am noticing slight little niggles!
It is like, when you first start going out with a boyfriend you really really like! That first rush of joy and almost giddiness for having found something you can love, you just do not notice faults. But after a few weeks or months, do you still love the boyfriend? Well, probably, but you are noticing the faults, the little niggles that annoy you!
I have started to spot the book equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up or dirty socks on the floor! Is it a dealbreaker? No, does it make you grit your teeth ever so slightly for a few seconds in annoyance! Yes.
I pointed this out at the end of book 3! But details details details! If you mention someone has brothers in one book, when you get to their book, make it so they have brothers! if they have blonde hair, keep it blonde, not change it to brown etc!
In this book, it is said that the nurse Lance has been seeing for a few months is called Nancy! In book 3, when he first started seeing the nurse, she was called Renee. (and it was not told as if it was a different woman, and given Lance's situation, and it is said in this book they have been together for a few months, I will assume it is meant to be the same nurse!)
Also, Ty, during a flashback dream, mentions he got to one of his friends first, Kelly who was already dead. Later on in the story, when he is telling this to Mallory, it is Tommy he got to who was already dead.
Now, little things like this may not be an issue for other people! But for me it pulls me out of the story, and I am thinking "Wait..what..but I thought...?" and then I have to go back pages, or go back to another book to check the facts!
But, it is still a 4 star! And I am going to carry on and read what I have on my kindle, as I already have book 5, 6 and 6.5 waiting to read, and I am determined to read what I have before I buy any more!
But, I will have a Jill Shalvis break after that, so as those little annoying niggles do not get blown up to a real annoyance and then I have to have an author/reader break up! I love Jill Shalvis, she has a formula that works and that I really like! But even too much of a good thing can be too much!
5.0 out of 5 stars Lucky in Love,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Lucky in Love: Number 4 in series (Lucky Harbor) (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the book and had trouble putting it down even though very predictable :-)
I have read five books from this series now and thought I would wait to read this book because of the predictability and heavy sex - it would be nice to have a bit less of both but read the books I have and enjoyed.
Saying that, I do love stories with a happy ending and Jill's books deliver that in spades - I also like the on going reference to the different residents in Lucky Harbour.
Book 5 in the series is all ready to be started :-)
5.0 out of 5 stars Bring on the next book!!!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Lucky in Love (A Lucky Harbor Novel Book 4) (Kindle Edition)
I love love love these books and can't wait to read the next one in the series. I love meeting all the residents of Lucky Harbor and finding out tidbits about all of them
4.0 out of 5 stars Great contemporary romance,
loveisastateofmind (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucky in Love: A Lucky Harbor Novel, Book 4 (Unabridged) (Audio Download)
Another good book about Lucky Harbor though I'm not as invested in the 3 girls' friendship as I was with the relationship between the 3 sisters in the first 3 books. I also really dislike the whole "town obsessed with Facebook" thing. Loved Ty/Mallory though.

Here's the situation: I have a variable number of dynamically created update panels on my page, so I thought I would write one method which handles all of the loading for each one.
Updatepanel creation looks something like this:
Dim newUpdp As New UpdatePanel
newUpdatep.ChildrenAsTriggers = False
newUpdatep.UpdateMode = UpdatePanelUpdateMode.Conditional
newUpdatep.ID = Guid.NewGuid.ToString
AddHandler newUpdatep.Load, AddressOf updatep_load_method
This creates the update panel and binds its load event to the method "updatep_load_method". This method is called as soon as the
Updatepanel is inserted into the holder. The method code is as follows:
Private Sub updp_load_method(sender As UpdatePanel, e As System.EventArgs)
Dim div As New HtmlGenericControl("div")
div.InnerText = Date.Time.Now.ToString
End Sub
A little later on I want to update the panel, and refresh the time. So I use the javascript __doPostBack method. According to Dave Ward, the __doPostBack method follows the full page postback lifecycle, so I figured the load event of my Update panel would be fired and that "updatep_load_method" would be called by that particular update panel...
Although the partial postback occurs, and other update panel's load events are called, my bound ones aren't. So what's happening here?

-Question related to resource allocation in Yarn!
I am trying to make a small poc on top of yarn.
Within the launched application master , I am trying to request for 50
containers and launch a same task on those allocated containers.
My config : AM registration response minimumCapability {, memory: 1024,
virtual_cores: 1, }, maximumCapability {, memory: 8192, virtual_cores: 32,
1) I am asking for 1G mem and 1 core container to the RM. Ideally the RM
should return me 6 - 7 containers , but the response always returns with
only 2 containers.
Why is that ?
2) So , when in the first ask 2 containers are returned , then I again
required the RM for 50 - 2 = 48 containers. I keep getting 0 containers ,
even if the previously started containers have finished.
Why is that ?
Any link explaining the allocate request of RM would be very helpful.

Upstate health system joins hunt for better ways to deliver health care
Greenville Health System was officially designated an academic health center this week in what was described as a first-of-its-kind model that brings Clemson, Furman and the University of South Carolina into the fold to study health care delivery and develop ways to improve it.
Typically, academic health centers are defined as a university with a medical school, at least one health profession program, and an owned or affiliated teaching hospital or hospitals, said Dr. Spence Taylor, vice president of academics for GHS and architect of the new model.
But this "clinical university" model has the health system at its center with multiple universities partnering to focus on solving problems of health care access, quality and affordability, and improve work force pipelines to deliver better-prepared graduates, he said.
For example, he said, instead of working from the outside, Clemson scientists may be embedded in the hospital to observe how care is provided and devise ways to improve it, from reducing medical errors to breaking down barriers to getting that care.
"It's not enough to discover breakthrough treatments for diabetes," he said. "We have to find a reliable system of ensuring that patients have access to those treatments and use them appropriately."
Academic health centers not only provide patient care and produce tomorrow's doctors, they conduct the research that leads to new medical developments that benefit society, Taylor said.
Larry Dooley, vice president for research at Clemson, said the partnership will allow the institutions to leverage existing administrative structure, expertise and resources to increase research funding, recruit outstanding faculty and students, improve health care and drive economic growth in the Upstate.
And Ben Haskew, CEO of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, said the qualities that drive per capita income are education, human capital development, innovation and entrepreneurship. The new academic health center touches on all those areas, he said.
"We can't understate what's happening in here," he said. "We've got a lot to look forward to ... opportunities for new job creation — and the kind of jobs we want — and to see growth in Greenville."
Academics plays a critical role because medical students are the future health care providers, said Dr. Jerry Youkey, dean of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine-Greenville.
"Through our innovative curriculum, we intend to create physicians capable of leading in the transformation of the health care delivery system," he said.
And since more and more students are expressing an interest in health careers, Furman can be part of improving health care education in the Upstate, said interim Furman University President Carl Kohrt.
"We will partner with GHS and other colleges to provide students with a wide range of learning experiences," he said. "And that partnership promises to change the way the medical profession approaches health care education."
In announcing the designation by the Association of Academic Health Centers, CEO Michael Riordan said GHS will be advancing patient care, medical education and research for the region, the state and the nation.
"But we can't do it alone," he said. "We have to have these partnerships."

If we're all supposed to take the president at his word that he's a Christian (and that seems like a reasonable thing to do), why shouldn't we take Abubakar Shekau's word that Abubakar Shekau is a Muslim? Because no true Muslim would do the things he does? Maybe the leader of Boko Haram is somehow a Muslim who practices another religion.
President Obama routinely denies that people are Muslims, in spite of their emphatic declarations to be so; but at the same time it's supposed to be a big outrage when someone says she doesn't know whether Barrack Obama is a Christian. Not only is Barack Obama the only man who can say whether Barack Obama is really a Christian; apparently he's the only man who can tell if anyone is really a Muslim.

A great camera for people searching for a compact system that doesn't compromise in terms of image quality.
Good in body image stabilization, focus peaking and tilting screen mean you can get sharp photos while shooting from the hip, combined with its small size make it a great travel companion and great for photo-shy subjects.
A huge range of lenses with more being made constantly means a well rounded versatile system that can grow from a entry level set up to a rather serious bit of kit!
This is the camera that made me fall in love with photography!
January 19, 2015
I bought the camera during the free lens promotion in Dec-2014. After using it a few times during the holidays, I found the camera takes very good quality photos. However, please make one improvement regarding to focus peaking.
Focus peaking can only be activated when turning the focus ring on a M43 lens. When using a manual focus lens with no electrical connection with the EM10, focus peaking is off. I tried my old Nikon F and Canon FD lens using Metabones adaptors and could not get the focus peaking to work. Please note that focus peaking is really needed when using the camera with manual lens.
On the other hand, I found focus peaking on Lumix GX7 works good with the above mentioned Nikon & Canon lens. Once turned on, focus peaking works with any lens mounted on the Panasonic camera.
I really like the Olympus camera. Please try to improve the focus peaking by firmware updates. Thanks.
The E-M10 is able to use the focus peaking function using any legacy manual focus lens. The only difference is that since there is not communication between the lens and the camera, there is no way for the camera to do this automatically using non Micro 4/3 lenses. Therefore, it is possible to manually activate this function using a function button operation. For assistance, please refer to page 98 of the E-M10's manual.
After the instructions from Olympus Technical Support team, I was able to activate focus peaking by assigning Fn1 button to "PEAKING" setting. I can now use focus peaking with my Nikon F and Canon FD lenses.
I feel improvement could be made in the operating manual to provide more explanations about using EM10 with manual focus lenses as it is one of the reasons people choose M43 format.
January 08, 2015
I was somewhat hesitant to get into the four thirds system, having shot primarily with Canon DSLR's and 35mm film cameras for years. I decided to give the E-M10 a try, since it was the least expensive way to get into the Olympus system. I'm truly glad that I did, because the image quality is nothing short of fantastic, and the lighter weight and greater portability are proving to be a bonus. I'm thoroughly pleased so far, and hope to add an OM-D E-M1 body and additional lenses in the not too distant future. What others have said about the menu system is true; it's complex. The upside is that lots of capability is packed into it, and it's easily learned by spending time with the camera. I have no complaints about the E-M10, and highly recommend it.

I was hoping to lighten my burden by carrying a light weight camera that could preform under many conditions. I shoot everything from weddings to landscapes, sports to portraits. I have been using the E-M10 now for about a month and it has certainly performed well on field trips and a recent vacation to Aruba. Last night brought to a NYE party and was very disappointed with it;s performance. Low light focusing was a major problem. After last nights experience I can't feel confident about using it a primary camera at a wedding. I might need to continue the trails. I'm happy with the image quality and the many features for shooting during the day. I will use it for shooting beach scenes and as a backup.
November 29, 2014
This is the third Olympus I have owned. By far this list the best. Photo quality is amazing as well as the speed. The "art" setting is also a nice touch. No complaints at all.
October 19, 2014
Great little camera for daily shooting and it is especially good for travel. But check your WiFi function when you get it. One of mine has dead wifi as does that of a friend who has 2 days of use on his.
September 20, 2014
The clock was ticking on my DSLR set up and I was ready to dive head first into the micro 4/3's pool. After reading many reviews I decided that the E-M10 was the way to go.I traded in my Nikon D7100 and Nikon lenses and have begun to build my new micro 4/3's set up. Combining parts of the E-M1 and E-M5 along with some new features I felt that the conclusion would be perfect. I am so pleased with Olympus on this one, it may fall 3rd in line on the OM-D scale of cameras but it really takes a backseat to no one. The image quality is fantastic and size and weight distribution is wonderful. In my opinion the entire OM-D line of cameras are fantastic just pick the one that suits your needs and you won't go wrong. Currently using the 14-42mm kit lens ( not your average kit lens ) and the results are spectacular, can't wait to add some of those very fast primes to my collection.
September 13, 2014
I wanted to consolidate from 2 cameras (DSLR for general use and a quality point-and-shoot for street photography) down to 1. I'm an amateur, and today's cameras are sufficiently complex that I really only want to learn one cold rather than 2. But weight, flexibility, raw, and easy to use full manual operation are musts for me.
The E-M10 fit the bill and is available at an attractive price. I read many VERY positive reviews which convinced me that technology was now so good that the 4/3 sensor size isn't a problem. I've only had it for 2 weeks, and initial results are excellent.
One minor caveat for raw shooters. My post processing software is several years old and doesn't handle the Olympus raw file format. I get around that by using the Olympus Viewer 3 software packaged with the camera to convert raw to lossless tiff-xif format and import that. Works fine for me, but if you need the fastest workflow, make sure your post processing software handles the Olympus raw format.
September 13, 2014
Got tired of schlepping my E500 & 300 zoom. The EM10 is so small & lightweight, it's easy to take with anywhere.
What I'm disappointed in is:
- No lens hood included for 14-42 II R or the 75>300 zoom
- No printed full manual included - the little manual included is useless - it's merely an excerpt & even refers to pages that aren't there. OM1, OM2, E500 - all came with lens hoods and printed full manuals. Even the XA came with a manual.
Now I have to go online & buy these items - very annoying & easily another $50+ for items that cost pennies to manufacture.
September 12, 2014
Since buying this camera, I have used it with the 14-42mm EZ zoom and the 45mm F/1.8. It has been used in a variety of conditions for different types of photography and has met or exceeded my expectations. It is especially nice to have a decent built-in flash that allows me to shoot pet portraits across the room. The dual control dials are also a big plus. The camera is obviously built with quality and takes great pictures. I have ordered the add-on grip because I have large hands.
September 12, 2014
I have owned OM system 35mm cameras and an assortment of Zuiko lenses since 1977, so it was perhaps inevitable that I would look to the characteristics that so endear me to them--compact size, ergonomics, durability, and unparalleled quality--when entering digital photography. My initial foray with Olympus digital cameras proved hugely disappointing when the E-PL-1 I bought in 2011 died from internal corrosion after just three years. I am counting on my new E-M10 to reinstill my faith in Olympus cameras.
It is still too early for me to comment on all of the features of the E-M10, but my initial impressions are very positive. Image quality is exceptional, viewfinder and screen are clear and bright, and output in micro 4/3 is more than adequate for my needs. It has the same heft and feel of my beloved OM-1n. Controls are well placed and intuitively located. Features may be accessed in multiple ways, allowing the user to choose whatever method works best for him or her.
In short, it certainly looks and feels the part; only time will tell whether it can live up to the vaunted reputation that the OM 35mm system earned for durability.
One minor quibble: this camera should have a paper manual delivered with it. Yes, the PDF is comprehensive, but it's far easier to read a bound paper copy with the camera in hand than to attempt to do so on screen.
I am counting on this camera to make up for the design and build failures of the E-PL-1 it is replacing. If it is anywhere near as reliable as my 37-year-old OM-1n bodies and Zuiko lenses have been, I will be a very happy man.
September 07, 2014
I have had the camera for about three weeks now and used it almost every day outdoor and indoor with consistently excellent results. While my brain has no doubt, my gut is still trying to come to terms with how capable and fun to use this little thing is. The E-M10 has a reassuring, solid feel and fits nicely in my average size male hands. I never hit controls by mistake which is surprising given its diminutive size. Even if not top of the line, the EVF is highly usable. I am used to the glory of large SLR prism finders but having all the main camera settings visible in the EVF is VERY convenient. I seldom compose with the LCD but the E-M10's is bright and sharp and its tilting capability comes very handy when my eye can't get to the EVF. The complexity of the menu system is real but it's due to the amazing amount of customization offered by the camera. I read the manual, identified all the controls (fixed and programmable), and set things up just right for my kind of shooting. Now I can change all the important settings without moving my eye away from the EVF. Focusing is quick and overall camera responsiveness is great. Negatives are all minor: flimsy battery/card door, I/O rubber cover, and still missing AC adapter.
In conclusion, the E-M10 is a great little camera with a vast choice of excellent lenses that competently helps me turn my vision into exhibition-quality, poster-size prints within a wide range of ISO values. I just ordered a second body and am selling my APS-C system to purchase a number of Olympus pro quality lenses. If portability, IQ and customization are your priorities, there is little else out there that can match the E-M10.
August 31, 2014
I bought this as a second body to my Olympus E-M1 and have had so much fun playing with this camera. It's small, fast, and most importantly powerful! When I pull this camera out people are always curious about it and then when they see the images blown away by the quality. Would highly recommend this camera as your first step into photography, second body, or even your main body - you won't be disappointed.
August 31, 2014
Honestly a wonderful camera from P&S to all Manual Capabilities! I was very impressed with the improvements over my older PEN E-PL2. Much better picture & video quality, as good as and even better than the larger DSLR. Low light "Big" improvement too. For the price and features, you will absolutely love it!. I checked stores and online reviews for a few months, I wish I didn't wait so long. Still playing around with the features, my family has been very impressed with the overall quality. I wish they kept the thumb dial like the PEN, but the Wi-Fi, touch screen, & EVF make up for it.
August 12, 2014
Camera is very easy to use. The buttons are a little small for these fat fingers. I took the camera to the San Diego Zoo. It performed very well. The auto focus was fast, and accurate for the most part. Occasionally, it would focus on the wrong thing i.e. the fence separating the viewer from the animal. I shot a short video of the Secretary Bird (uploaded to YouTube) and the auto-focus kept the bird in focus as it moved around the enclosure.
July 24, 2014
I bought this as an "upgrade" / replacement for my E-620. I did a little research on it (read the full review at www.dpreview.com). There are not any Olympus Dealers near me, but given how much I enjoyed my E-620, I didn't have any doubts or misgivings about buying "sight unseen" and direct from Olympus. I decided to save a little money and purchased a refurbished model; aside from the packing (clearly marked "refurbished"), you'd never know that this camera was previously used.
I've been using it for over a month and I'm quite impressed with
1) the quality of the images,
2) the speed of the autofocus,
3) the Wi-Fi connectivity/functionality,
4) how powerful it really is for such a small/light package,
5) the 8fps really blows my mind,
6) the amount of options available for bracketing.
I could go on and on but I'll just say "buy one; you won't be disappointed". This little camera is definitely on the cutting edge of technological innovation, but then again, Olympus has always been 3-4 years ahead of the "competition" when it come to new tech. I also purchased the M.Zuiko ED 14-150 lens at the same time; I'll review it as well (I love it, too.)
July 12, 2014
I purchased the Silver version. What I love about this camera are:
- It looks stunning. Looks retro yet handles well.
- Build quality is excellent. Usage of metal gives this camera class and personality.
- When I use it with my 14mm f2.5 lens, it is so small and portable.
- I purchased the kit + an M.75-300mm II lens. This setup results in excellent reach.
- The twin dials and the GUI makes usage of camera in field easy.
- The kit lens produces excellent images wide open at all apertures.
- Get either the M.40-150mm R or M.75-300mm II lens and you have a setup covering most situations. And it won't break your back as the setup is still pretty light.
- Later perhaps consider adding a prime such as a 14mm lens as it will make a good street or general photography in a really compact package.
Some tips I would recommend:
- Although this camera has 3 axis, when using with the 75-300mm II lens, at the 300mm end, I found I get more keepers using either a tripod.
- When using with the 75-300mm II, at the 300mm end, in not so ideal condition which we will likely see when doing birding, it is better to use Single AF as otherwise sometimes the camera will stay out of focus and won't AF. Moving to Single Shot AF took care of this issue.
- Carry a spare battery as you don't want to stop enjoying your photo shoot.
What can I say, for the money, this camera is a steal. It is a beautiful product producing beautiful pictures.

Like the previous reviewer I'm coming from the DSLR world and I was fed up with carrying heavy gear all the time. I pretty much concur with all his statements.
My mirrorless search took me to the OM-D's and the Fuji X cameras. I bought both and tested them out at home. The best way to put it is: OM-D E-M10 is a Ferrari and the the Fuji XE2 I bought is an SUV. Fuji's are awesome cameras with incredible IQ, but opted for the Olympus as it was smaller, felt really solid and the IQ was incredible for the size. It just handles so well. It made photography fun again. And it is super customizable.
I've only had it for 2 weeks and I can say that the IQ is DSLR standards (if not better). With the 17/1.8 prime the camera is very small and discrete. You don't feel like a tourist walking around. And plus with such fast primes you can shoot easily at ISO 200 even indoors with decent light thanks to the great in camera image stabilizer.
The menu is actually very simple to me. The only thing that I'm yet to figure out (and it will probably just require watching a youtube vide for a few minutes) is how to set up the MySets options. But other than that if you know about photography and cameras, and how to use all the options of a camera the menu is a breeze. Having said that, for a true beginner it may be a little complicated; but not because the menu is any harder than other camera manufacturers...it will be "complicated" because if you don't know what all the functions are, you would have no clue how to set it up. But you can always just shoot in fully auto mode and you'll still get amazing pics.
Get the camera and go shoot! It will make photography fun again and it won't hurt your back.
May 07, 2014
Coming from a DSLR I really didn't know what to expect from the smaller sensor of the E-M10. Not only are the images equal to, they are better in many regards. Everyone mentioned the complex menu system with its sometimes confusing layout. On the contrary, I find the menu system very intuitive and a pleasure to use. The customization possibilities are very handy as well. The camera is well made, easy to hold with the add-on grip just a pleasure. I like that the two knobs make it easy to change settings comfortably with one finger. The touch screen is so user friendly. The ability to press the ok button to toggle between screens is very helpful as well. I am so pleased with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 that I can highly recommend it.
April 27, 2014
I've gone full circle from 35mm film SLR's, to early digital adopter, to point and shoot and phone cameras. I missed the functionality and capability of SLR's, but didn't miss the size. I've had this camera since it first became available, and it meets every one of my requirements, all in a small portable package. Battery life can leave a little to be desired when used all day, and lenses can be expensive. But if you're looking to go back to SLR's or thinking of trying one out for the first time, this is a great way camera. Plus it's easy for my wife to use on iAuto.
April 24, 2014
This camera is great for street photography! It is smaller than I thought (a good thing) and has superb auto focus. The handling is good, it is packed with features, and it performs well. I can recommend this camera to anyone in the market for a new camera (mirrorless or not). You will be glad with your decision. It is that good.
April 21, 2014
This is a very nice camera. An excellent mix of both easy to use features for pointing and shooting, combined with tools for the more expert photographer. I had given up on interchangeable lens cameras since I take photos mostly outdoors, and they were big, clumsy, expensive and often lacked useful features that point and shoots had. So it took some convincing me to come back to an ILS, and micro four thirds cameras seemed to be the ticket. So I plunged and got this.
It's nice and compact. I got it with the kit 14-42 II R zoom; I sorta wish I'd gotten the more advanced EZ lens instead, since it's smaller. But other than size it's very capable, and a good choice for all around photos.
The choice of lens is excellent. I got the 75-300mm zoom, and it's been nice for wildlife photography. It's also a good test of the stabilizer. Compared to the lens-based stabilization in my Panasonic superzoom I'd say it's a tiny bit less effective, but that may be me. In any case I'll take it, since camera-based stabilization opens up the choice of lenses available.
Controls are pretty easy to use, although the choices of options in live view on the monitor vs the EVF gets a bit confusing. One button to rotate through them all would have been easier.
The monitor is OK, although it doesn't articulate as much as some other cameras. And I'd like a cover on it, or a way to flip it over to protect the screen. The screen protrudes a tiny bit in the back, so when you lay it down on its back the screen gets scratched. Ouch. Very easy to do. Using it for touch-focus is a joy.
The wifi is nicely implemented. I like that you can do a one-off connection to somebody's cellphone, and that they can then view a photo from a browser. Not enough cameras do this, and for those of us who travel in areas with no wifi and no cell it's a great way to share.
The use of the camera via the smartphone app and wifi is fantastic. I'd love to see them expand this function even more. Other cameras I own allow a camera-phone connection over wifi by having both join an existing LAN; the E-M10 only does peer to peer as far as I can figure out. This would extend the range. They also need to make the camera connect to a regular computer, and not just a smartphone or tablet for tethered shooting.
Battery life is decent, although it will chew through it fast using wifi.
It's got a great set of manual and customizable controls. The rotating dials are very useful, and easy to operate. You can do an awful lot without ever having to look up from the EVF.
Not being familiar with the details of autofocus, I had heard that with a camera like this it wasn't as good. I'm not doing sports or low light photos, and I have seen an issue. But I came from optical focusing, so perhaps I'm not a good judge. But as I said the "tap screen to focus" feature is quickly becoming indispensable.
I also picked up the lens cap lens. Set the camera in auto and you've got a slightly fat smartphone camera with super image quality. Won't fit in a pocket, but it does make an awesome point and shoot.
Movie quality is frankly a bit poor in this camera. My lower end Panasonic actually does a better job, and does 1080p at 60fps. This doesn't. It'll get you by, but don't buy it for anything but still shots.
April 19, 2014
I'm a proficient beginner hoping to advance both my photographic knowledge and skills. The E-M10 was recommended to me by a professional photographer and turned out to be an excellent choice: Easy to begin with and easy to advance with; great built-in programmatic support and easy-to-learn menu structure; lightweight, even when a 4/3 telephoto mounted; amazing low-light capabilities; quiet and stealthy with the AF illuminator, focus beep and monitor turned off; and fun to experiment (play?) with!

I am an E-M1 user myself. I bought the E-M10 for my wife. The camera is tiny, yet very capable. We come from a Nikon DSLR background and find the little OM-D cameras quite refreshing due to lack of weight and advanced features. The image quality is outstanding and surprising for the smaller 4/3 sensor size. I am a photography professional and my wife is not, yet either of us can pick up the tiny little E-M10 and make the camera do what we want. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment in using the E-M10 for an emergency commercial shoot if one of my Nikons failed. The camera is a delight to use, with all the features any enthusiast would want, all the controls a professional would need, and all the in-camera support a newbie would desire—all in one little camera body. Amazing!

Very good camera! Purchased just before trip to US, have some tricks to use, difficult menu, very solid and quality body, a bit heavier than my pocket camera, but compact as well to put to my purse. It is different from my Olympus SH-50 which i used last year for travel. E-M10 is very good in low light even with kit lens 14-42mm II R (or panasonic 14-42, which i used on a trip just because this lens more compact than Olympus kit lens). Looking forward to buy the 14-42 EZ pancake lens,and advise you to do so too. My own opinion, this camera shoots same quality pictures like an entry level DSLR cameras, but more smaller. And very go ahead from travel zooms and pocket compact with small sensor. A bad point, RAW no recognized yet on the mac computers, even with new update. Hope it will be fixed soon.

I have owned my OMD EM 10 for a little over a month. Still getting use to the touch screen and a lot of the features. I moved over from a Sony DSLR. I wanted to go smaller. This camera is defiantly smaller way smaller. Offers a lot of manual controls. I got the kit and added the 40-150. This camera has the fastest auto focus I have seen. So glad I took the micro four thirds plunge.
