Boston's View
- Boston Globe: "Rondo is the NBA's best at making the pinpoint pass at the precise moment, but he relies too much on that skill. In the second half yesterday, Rondo made matters simpler for himself and his teammates. Very rarely does Rondo play an entire half, but yesterday he played all 24 minutes and the Celtics shot a mind-boggling 69.4 percent from the floor. And of the 22 baskets converted by Celtics other than Rondo, 15 were assisted by Rondo, including six of the team's seven 3-pointers. That means he is moving the ball, delivering passes to sweet spots. That means the Celtics are an offensive machine and Rondo is the commander. "I told Rondo in front of the team it was one of his best games of the year,'' Rivers said. "In the fact that I thought he called an absolutely perfect game. He's our pitcher. I thought he just called a sensational game, coming out of timeouts, making sure guys were in their spots.''
- CelticsBlog: "His numbers don't jump off the page and it wasn't his best game statistically, but maybe that is what made it even better. We've come to expect this from Big Baby. This kind of solid, all around game has become the norm, not the exception. Sure, there are times when Doc strains his last vocal cord because of something Baby does, but those are coming less and less often. In fact, the following thought occurred to me that really made me grin: Big Baby might be the James Posey type piece of the puzzle we've been missing since 2008."
- CelticsHub: "Because the Celtics offense quietly rolled over the Lakers today. Paul Pierce, who you may have heard has scored more points per game against the Lakers than any other team in his career, hit stepbacks from everywhere. He and a few other guys combined for 9-17 from 3. Rajon Rondo picked up 15 assists in the second half, part of a team total of 34. You know all this. So why isn't anyone talking about the crappy Laker defense?"
- WEEI.com: "Paul Pierce destroyed Ron Artest: The captain destroyed his antagonist from last year's finals, scoring 32 points on just 18 shots and sending Artest to the bench in the fourth quarter. There was nothing Artest could do to contain Pierce, who had both his long-range and in-between game working. The Celtics were overwhelming in the second half, but Pierce kept them in position throughout the game in what might have been his best performance of the season."
- ESPNBoston.com: Paul Pierce: "The thing is, when you win a game here now, it's not for the championship. It's a regular-season game. When we play against the Lakers, it really gets our juices going, because they are our rivals. It's a big game just knowing that we can come into this building and get a win."
Los Angeles's View
- Los Angeles Times: "We're talking humiliation … Celtics fans chanting "Beat L.A.!" … Celtics fan Matt Damon and friends yukking it up courtside between the Lakers' bench and superfan Norm Pattiz."
- Orange County Register: "Kobe Bryant gave his team an 'F' for its defense in Sunday's 109-96 loss to the Boston Celtics, a grade teammate Derek Fisher didn't disagree with. ... Ron Artest, usually the Lakers' defensive plug, shrugged off Bryant's failing grade, saying, 'I got F's in elementary school and I still went to college. I also got A's in elementary school and it didn't help me.'"
- Silver Screen And Roll: "Against the Celtics at Staples this afternoon, the Lakers forced a load of Boston turnovers, went to the free-throw line early and often, shot well on threes and got a masterly performance from Kobe Bryant. It should've been enough. But it wasn't. It wasn't close to being enough."
- Land O' Lakers: "After the 109-96 loss to the Celtics, Phil Jackson was asked if Ron Artest, who scored just three points on one-for-10 shooting while struggling to check Paul Pierce, "got lost" on the way to Staples Center. "No, he was on time," Phil replied. "(But) he got lost on the court."
- USA Today: The Lakers shot 44.4%, made four of nine three-pointers (three by Bryant) and had 10 assists. Ten assists? That quantified the lack of ball movement that led to Bryant as the only Laker to score in a nearly five-minute span while four Celtics were scoring. Boston expanded its lead from 91-87 to 107-91. "It's always balance that makes us better," Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. "We're not going to accomplish our goals by relying on Kobe to score 30 or 40 points every game."

Region: Sauternes and Barsac, Bordeaux, France
Varietal: Other Dessert
Other Info: Collectible Wines
Item no. 118727
The 2001 vintage of this wine was ranked #10 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2005
Discovering Chateau d'Yquem starts with the bouquet. Although not always very outgoing in young vintages, it is marked by fruit (apricot, mandarin, and occasionally tropical fruit) and oak (vanilla and toasty aromas). Older vintages, on the other hand, have an extraordinarily complex fragrance as soon as the bottle is opened.
The bouquet is amazingly subtle, with hints of dried fruit (dried apricot, prune, stewed fruit, and marmalade), spice (cinnamon, saffron, and licorice), and even flowers (linden blossom, etc.).
The first impression on the palate is always very silky, and often sumptuous. It then fills out, "coating the palate." This fine wine has a strong, but never overbearing character, with great elegance and poise. It always maintains a balance between sugar and acidity (sweetness and freshness).
Picked predominantly over 10 days from October 14, the 2010 d'Yquem has 141gms/L residual sugar and pH 3.80. It is a slow-burner, the nose understated at first but unfurling with each passing moment with subtle scents of freshly sliced apricots, Clementine, clear honey and white flowers. There is an underlying minerality that really defines this bouquet. The palate is similar to the nose, revealing hidden facets with almost each swirl of the glass – orange blossom, limestone, white peach and honeysuckle. This is such a precise d'Yquem; it is after you have swallowed the wine that one comprehends just how brilliant it is.
Barrel Sample: 96-98 Points
Impressively balanced, with the fruit rich, intense with a golden glow. The acidity is as important as the freshness, giving a delicious lift to the core of dry, concentrated botrytis. Obviously a great wine for long-term aging in a great Sauternes year.
Barrel Sample: 96-98 Points
The purity of Botrytis in this wine is so impressive with dried fruits such apple and mango. And then spicy character. Full body and very sweet but it is incredibly fresh and lively. Such class and elegance. Perfectly manicured wine. Everything in the right place. This shows a delicacy and intensity that are spellbinding.
Tropical and inviting, with lush mango, fig and papaya aromas followed by pineapple and creamed banana. The long tangerine finish is flattering and very open now, but the length is clearly there.
Barrel Sample: 93-96 Points

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service New York New York
1041 am EDT Sat Jul 4 2015
high pressure over the area will weaken today as low pressure
passes south of Long Island. Another weak high will build across
from the west tonight through Monday. A weak low and associated
warm front will then lift slowly up the coast Monday night into
Tuesday night. A slow moving cold front will approach on Wednesday
and possibly linger into Thursday...with a wave of low pressure
forming along it. High pressure will return for Friday.
Near term /until 6 PM this evening/...
forecast on track...with latest hi res hourly models suggest the
bulk of the rain remains confined to the northwest zones this
morning...likely weakening as it spreads eastward. Steadier rain
to the north of a wave of low pressure...moving off the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia
coast...looks to remain just south of Long Island.
Widespread measurable rainfall is not anticipated this
afternoon...but many areas could see a light rain shower or
sprinkle this afternoon. Overall...not a washout with some areas
remaining dry.
Sided with the cooler GFS MOS for high temperatures...with upper 60s
north/west of NYC and lower 70s elsewhere.
There is a moderate risk of rip currents today.
Short term /6 PM this evening through 6 PM Sunday/...
cold/dry air advection should lead to dry conditions in time for
Independence day firework displays in most places...but with 700 mb-8
frontogenetic forcing and good low level moisture still lagging
across most of Long Island and southeast CT early this evening a
lingering rain shower or sprinkle possible into the early
evening. Skies should be mostly cloudy to start...then gradually
clear as high pressure starts to build in. Low temperatures should be in
the Lower/Middle 60s in NYC metropolitan and 55-60 elsewhere per a GFS/NAM
MOS guidance blend.
Expect Sunday to be mostly sunny...with afternoon fair weather cumulus
developing especially inland...with cyclonic flow aloft and a
developing surface thermal trough. This should also aid afternoon sea
breeze development. High temperatures are close or a little higher than
GFS MOS...with lower and middle 80s...warmest in NYC metropolitan and the
interior valleys.
Long term /Sunday night through Friday/...
looks like we will have another very warm/dry day for Monday with
a good deal of sunshine.
Next chances of precipitation will come during middle week...first with a
weak low drifting up from the SW...then with a weakening cold
front moving in from the northwest. Continue with chance thunder from
late Monday night into Wednesday night. High temperatures for Tuesday/Wednesday are
somewhat tricky due to the uncertainty of cloud coverage.
More sunshine on Tuesday could push temperatures a little higher than forecast.
Wednesday should be the cooler of the two days...with a better chance of
greater cloud coverage.
A wave of low pressure could develop to our SW along the stalling
cold front...and eventually bring a chance of rain Thursday into Thursday
night...followed by dry conds on Friday as high pressure returns.
Aviation /15z Saturday through Wednesday/...
high pressure remains off the northeast coast today as a wave of
low pressure tracks south of Long Island.
Light east winds back slightly to the NE as the low tracks to the
south. However...it is possible that winds remain light east or
even southeast depending on the strength and track of the low. As
such...wind forecast confidence is low for this afternoon.
Winds become light this evening and remain light overnight.
Expect VFR cloud decks through the day today before clouds scatter
tonight. Any rain should be light and fairly brief...except at
kswf where -ra can be expected through at least 16z.
Outlook for 12z Sunday through Wednesday...
Sunday-Monday night...VFR.
Tuesday-Wednesday...chance of MVFR in showers and thunderstorms.
low pressure passes just south of the waters today...and departs to
the east tonight. Winds will increase ahead of the low as they back
to a northeasterly direction. Over the ocean waters...a few gusts
late this afternoon may approach 25 kts. However...this should be
brief so will not Post any marine headlines at this time.
Ocean seas likely remain at 3 to 4 feet today...possibly touching
5 feet by evening. The ocean waters...particularly east...may build
to 5 feet late tonight with southerly swells. Seas/waves 1 to 2 feet
or less elsewhere today and tonight.
High pressure returns Sunday...and should remain in control into the
early portion of the week. By middle week...a cold front approaches the
waters. In general...a relatively weak pressure gradient remains in
place...so do not anticipate Small Craft Advisory conditions Sunday through Wednesday.
generally 1/10 to 1/4 of an inch of quantitative precipitation forecast is possible today
north/west of NYC...and less than 1/10 inch elsewhere. There is
still a good chance that part of Long Island and southern CT
could remain dry.
Significant precipitation could occur at some point during the
middle of next week as a weak low and warm front move up the coast
on Tuesday...then with a cold front approaching and stalling nearby
Wednesday into Thursday. Predictability is too low to offer any specifics at
this time.
Tides/coastal flooding...
combo of a recent full moon and some tidal piling via elevated
ocean seas could cause minor coastal flooding benchmarks to be
touched along the South Shore back bays of Nassau County at the
peak of the night-time high tides the next couple of days...
especially tonight.
Okx watches/warnings/advisories...
New York...none.
New Jersey...none.
near term...Goodman/pw
short term...Goodman
long term...jc/Goodman/pw
marine...precipitable water
tides/coastal flooding...

Nursing helped to assuage injuries, fatigue, crankiness, and even sickness.
"cross-tempered, irritable," 1807, from crank (n.) + -y (2). The evolution would be from earlier senses of crank, e.g. "a twist or fanciful turn of speech" (1590s); "inaccessible hole or crevice" (1560s). Grose's 1787 "Provincial Glossary" has "Cranky. Ailing sickly from the dutch crank, sick." and identifies it as a Northern word. Related: Crankily; crankiness.
Ben. Dang it, don't you spare him--A cross grain'd cranky toad as ever crawl'd. (etc.) [Richard Cumberland, "Lovers Resolutions," Act I, 1813]
Very irritable; touchy: The baby was cranky all day (1821+)

For a brief two night trip to Granada to see the Alhambra Hesperia Granada couldn't be bettered. Ideally located just a 10 minute walk from the Alhambra and also near to lots of sights and great food and shopping areas.
Review collected in partnership with NH Hotels
The room was in perfect condition. The front desk lady was always smiling and friendly. She accommodated our request every time. The wifi in our room was a bit slow. I wish the breakfast was a bit more affordable. However, I wouldn't complain about the quality of the breakfast. It was a bit noisy when I stayed there due to...
We booked this hotel on hotels.com for $50-60 USD, and it was by far the best hotel stay we had for that price range during our entire trip in Spain. The hotel was beautiful inside and our rooms were spacious and comfortable.
Perfect location for a visit to Granada and The Alhambra. You can walk to everything, but you probably want to pay for a cheap bus ride up to the Alhambra (big hike up a big hill). Excellent maps and restaurant guidance from the staff. Large comfortable economical rooms.
This hotel is very nice and good located, very close to the centre, to all the tapas bar and to alhambra (you can reach it by feet in about 15 minutes). Cleaned and comfortable, all the staff is absolutely kind and professional.i suggest it !!!
Very stylish in a traditional Moorish fashion. Great location, minutes from major sites. Large rooms which are very comfy, great AC, underground adjacent and spacious parking and nice breakfast. A bit hard to locate in the side streets of Granada,but a great find.
Would highly recommend.
The hotel was located in a good spot within Granada and the staff were quite friendly. The rooms need a bit of a upgrade with some of the facilities out of date considering the price. No further comments to add.
Very nice and clean hotel, good location to walk to Alhambra and local tapas bars. Comfortable bed with great block-out curtains. It also had a modern bathroom. It was an easy taxi ride to the hotel from the Alsa bus station and good price.
good location,walking distance to almost every tourist attraction.very clean and nice hotel.good buffet breakfeast .good wifi .our room was at the back so its quiet.shopping and all kinds of restaurants are a few steps away.
Fantastic location, friendly staff, well appointed rooms. You will not be disappointed as the value is excellent. Staff went beyond expectations to meet all of our needs. The breakfast provided ample choices. Note that due to the close proximity of other business establishments some of the rooms can be a bit loud.
My son is attending the university. Is this hotel close by with in walking distance?

Hot dogs and veal patties ditched in Ikea horsemeat scare
- From: AAP
- February 28, 2013
IKEA says it is withdrawing hot dogs and veal patties from European stores as a precaution after tests confirmed horsemeat in its meatballs.
The Swedish furniture giant pulled its hot dogs in France, Spain, Britain, Ireland and Portugal, and two traditional dishes sold in Sweden: a veal patty known as "wallenbergare" and a cabbage beef casserole.
Earlier this week the company pulled its Ikea-brand one-kilogram bags of frozen meatballs off its shelves and withdrew meatballs from its restaurants in 25 countries, primarily in Europe but also in parts of Asia and in the Dominican Republic after Czech authorities said they found traces of horse DNA in the product.
Ikea said its own tests had so far only shown the presence of horsemeat in its meatballs, but the other products were being removed because they were made by the same supplier as the meatballs, Swedish company Dafgaard.

Would have to be the first time meat is actually found in a hot dog wouldn't it ? Maybe an improvement.

DeeBee Ess of WA Posted at 11:57 AM February 28, 2013
My Husbnd loves horse Meat and frequently eats it when we re in his country, Its actually eaten by lots of Europeans, and very cheap. I guess the problem here is if the horse meat fit for human consumption, But also if your paying for Beef or what ever Ikea meat balls are made of then I suppose you should get Beef Personally I do not Like the Ikea Meatballs. But maybe that's why there so cheap.

I have to build a maxheap using reheapUP funct based on serial number of my element, and then I need to print it based on the priority number of the element. My element is in this format:
typedef struct customer
char name[255];
int mileage;
int years;
int priority;
int serial;
So far, I have read the data from the file, and saved in into the array of structs, and sorted in in descending order by serial number.(I'm not even sure do I need to sort the array at all before insertion into heap)
1) Now I need to build a heap from that array using reheapUp function. This function should insert an element at the bottom of the tree and recursively compare it with it's parents in the heap and swapping them when needed. I dont know how to implement this.
//#define LEFT(x) 2*x+1 // since we start with index 0
//#define RIGHT(x) 2*x+2
void reheapUp(struct customer* record, int idx)
int l = LEFT(idx);
int r = RIGHT(idx);
int largest;
if( l <= heap_size(record) && record[l].serial > record[idx].serial)
largest = l;
largest = idx;
if(r <= heap_size(record) && record[r].serial > record[largest].serial)
largest = r;
if(largest != idx) { // the thing here is that I need to swap all of the elements, not just their serials.
int temp = record[idx].serial;
record[idx].serial = record[largest].serial;
record[largest].serial = temp;
rehepUp(record, largest);
void insertHeap(HEAP* heap, CUSTOMER* dataPtr)
heap->root->parent = NULL;
if (heap)
heap->last = heap->last->priority + 1;
heap->last->dataPtr->mileage = dataPtr->mileage;
heap->last->dataPtr->priority = dataPtr->priority;
heap->last->dataPtr->serial = dataPtr->serial;

Please help me to do fix my functions, so I could build a maxHeap out of an array. Also, later on I would need to use reheapDown and print data while doing that. I also dont know how would I do this. Thank you
Another Version of Code that I've found and tried to optimize for myself (Program Crashes): This code was originally working for an array of integers, since my program need to run with struct CUSTOMER, I've tried modifying it, but it didn't help much. Any ideas?
#define SIZE 15
//#define heap_size(x) (sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]))
int* TREE; // global variable used for printing the entire tree
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
HEAP* heap;
struct customer record [SIZE];
int n = sizeof(record)/sizeof(int);
TREE = record;
int heapSize = SIZE;
int idx = 0;
idx = readFile(record);
heap = initHeap(heapSize);
calcSerial(record, idx);
sortArray(record, idx);
buildHeap(record, n);
return 0;
void printTree(void)
// lazy way to print the entire tree...
int* array = TREE;
printf(" %3d\n ", array[0]);
printf(" %3d %3d\n", array[1], array[2]);
printf(" %3d %3d %3d %3d\n", array[3], array[4], array[5], array[6]);
printf(" %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d\n", array[7], array[8], array[9], array[10], array[11], array[12], array[13], array[14]);
printf("%3d\n", array[15]);
void buildHeap(struct customer* record, int n)
// changed starting condition
int i = n/2;
// changed from i-- to --i so we get to zero
while(i > 0) heapify(record, n,--i);
void heapify(struct customer* record, int n, int i)
printf("heapify [%i] = %i\n", i, record[i]);
// mark nodes initially as -1 to distinguish from "valid" zero
int childLeft = -1, childRight = -1;
int largest = i;
// changed the way we check for valid nodes:
if(2*i+1<n) childLeft = 2*i+1;
if(2*i + 2<n) childRight = 2*i + 2;
// see if any nodes are invalid now:
if(childLeft < 0 && childRight < 0) return;
if(childLeft < 0) childLeft = childRight;
if(childRight < 0) childRight = childLeft;
printf("child left [%i] = %i child right [%i] = %i\n", childLeft, record[childLeft], childRight, record[childRight]);
if(record[childLeft].serial > record[i].serial) largest = childLeft;
if(record[childRight].serial > record[largest].serial) largest = childRight;
if(largest != i)
swap(record, i,largest);
heapify(record, n, largest);
void swap(struct customer* record, int indexA, int indexB)
CUSTOMER* temp;
temp = (CUSTOMER*)(malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER)));

|Paizo Pathfinder® Paizo Games
|About Paizo Messageboards News Paizo Blog Help/FAQ
Make sure to include a mundane tavern scene....one where there are circumstances that they MUST remain incognito for fear of the enemy or his agents knowing they're coming.
And in this scene, have some really annoying people start teasing and tormenting the group, yet the PCs dare not react, and these level 20 mythic PC's have to accept their torment and be labeled by the locals as wimps/cowards, whatever. They even have to sleep in the barn and eat porridge. THAT would be a challenge to set up.
Interesting side note: A wizard attempting to use another wizard's spell book needs to make a Spellcraft check every time. (Which is why wizards write spells into their own books).
I like the idea of a rogue being able to "figure out" some magic from a spellbook though. Bookish Rogue makes the spellcasting an SU ability.
Spellbooks tend to be expensive though, and there are some pretty nifty security spells wizards keep to track them down if a thief steals one.
Continual frustration and ragequitting are not things to enjoy with your friends.
Play a simple game like Crypt of the Everflame. It's a beginner module designed to get players working with clues and helping one another.
If they're not into it, then do other things. Gaming shouldn't be work. A lifetime of gaming has taught me that it's all about the company you keep, not the game you're playing.
If you and your players are experienced enough to handle high level play (there's a lot to track at that level), then I might suggest picking up one or both of Dragons Unleashed or Undead Unleashed. You'll find very affordable sourcebooks that contain multiple entries for high level dragons and their lairs, or high level undead. Each lair contains history and background that can be extrapolated into a several or many sessions-long game.
I'm really astonished by the number of people posting here who have been influenced by interpretations of blindsight like that featured in Daredevil.
Blindsight isn't "seeing a different way" or "heatvision" or "the world on fire" (although it can be if you want it to be), it's a "non-visual sense to operate effectively without sight". It makes the one with blindsense unaffected by blur or displacement, so I too would rule that feint is ineffective against blindsense.
I'm kinda iffy on the Judgement affecting a swarm, but a destruction-oriented smite sounds more like a reflex save than a will save anyway. I'd probably let it happen.
Some good posts here though about the real issue: getting along with people with whom you've developed an adversarial or at least an unfriendly relationship. It takes a dose of maturity to get past the rough edges we often show to one another, and it's usually time and perspective that get you to soften up and forgive one another. Communicating concerns and being assertive (rather than angry) is a good way to clear the air.
I am completely on board with winged creatures, and other creatures using natural flight to be able to increase their speed. What I would like to see from Paizo is a complete rules write-up of Movement (including mounted combat, btw) that would include "flying creatures using natural flying ability can increase their speed..." instead of us relying on "default" interpretations... Because I don't see it.
Constructive disagreement from me.
I disagree. The "other exemptions" argument is more like a case of sloppy editing left over from past editions. In fact, looking at D20, there is a description for flying creatures "a flying creature can fly down at twice its normal speed".
And "default assumption" is no reason to allow someone to double or triple their movement speed.
However, it makes sense to allow a winged creature to beat their wings faster and get more speed out of it. Using a winged mount with higher stamina would make sense for someone to want to gain a speed advantage if their mount can "sprint" for some distances. This is all great and wonderful stuff, so long as the players can accept my gargoyles and harpies can come at them really fast, while the flying wizard putts along at 60' and the cleric goes running past in the air at 120'.
Nefreet wrote:
Under the definition of the "Fly" spell, it reads "The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run."
And I see no other indication in the rules of Fly, Flying or Movement that a flying character can move any faster than their fly speed, with the exception of Air Walk, which reads "The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground."
Show me where you're getting this interpretation please, and I'll change my mind.
I have frequently had NPC villains refer to certain PC characters as "holy warriors", not knowing whether they were up against a paladin or a cleric, and "magicians", seeing they had a foe who wielded magic and wasn't coming at them with a sword.
Paladins, wizards, clerics, druids, monks,...these all have institutions behind them, which helps define them and their roles in the world. (Like a "maester" from GoT). Whether someone else recognizes the Seal of Purity a paladin is wearing, or the holy regalia of a traveling cleric is another matter.
Fighters and rogues...these could be anybody.
A good martial interested in keeping the enemy busy will have good mobility on the battlefield, as well as situational-awareness (Combat Reflexes and is reserving actions when prudent).
Thinking like a field commander, you'll want to protect your artillery and archers (your caster), so stay in a position relative to those whom you wish to protect.
As DM, I won't send an enemy after a PC caster unless I think the enemy has the intelligence to recognize the threat and has the opportunity to do so.
We used one of our DM's kids' toys (a plastic shark) to represent a summoned shark (of my wizard's) during a particular lake battle. It was the right size for the shark's description in the bestiary, but it was considerably larger than the space such a creature occupies on the battlemat. Still, it was very cool, and it got me to looking at the descriptions of size of many of our classic beasts.
Think about this for a second:
DM:"The creature is trying to grab you."
PC:"I will let it grab me."
DM:"It grabs you."
There is no conflict, so there is no contest. At best, I may allow an intelligent assailant to sense motive to figure out the PC is trying to maneuver in close using the assailant's action. But since the player isn't using his Maneuver Defense in Combat, there's no need for the creature to roll against his CMD.
This came up the other night in Curse of the Crimson Throne. Players were trying to get Cindermaw to swallow them, and Cindermaw WANTED to swallow them. Why roll? Does it build tension?
As for bullrushing an ally, I see no difficulty unless the ally is blinded for some reason and can't see who is tackling him. It makes perfect dramatic sense that an ally could knock someone out of the way of danger if they had an action ready.
A crocodile (CR2) has "death roll" which allows for underwater grappling, which could be epic and exciting. A bulette is pretty tough (and has burrowing), so I could see some fun scenes happening with grabbing and dragging PC's underground.
Still, you have to consider that the risk of being underground is greater than that of being underwater (as PC's can theoretically swim). I might use such a maneuver to hook the PC's into an underground adventure, but I'd make them fight the bulette first.
Also, I don't believe it's necessary to have a hard and fast ruling on every imaginable situation in the game. Where's the thrill in having everything figured-out? This is why we have dungeon masters.
Reverse wrote:
The slippery slope is indeed, treacherous, but this worst-case-scenario you describe hasn't happened. What HAS happened is two PCs (one killed, one voluntarily changes out characters at level 9) have altered the APL from 10 to 9. So I've been putting together one-shot dungeons to give them and me some practice. When everyone is level 10 or 11, they'll pick up the main storyline in the Cinderlands again.
Our group's policy: Bringing in a new character (due to death or switcheroo or whatever) means that new character is 1 level lower than the lowest at the table. Everyone is 10th level? Your new character is bottom of 9th level.
It lends some consequences to death without being soul-crushing, and discourages the revolving door. It's also fair to the players who have kept their characters alive.
The Mounted Combat rules have long deserved a dedicated rewrite in Pathfinder, in my humble opinion.
"Stay in the Saddle" is the relevant check (DC 5, does not require an action). An imaginative DM might add +1 to the difficulty (house rule) for each 5pts. of damage the rider takes or for each 5pts. the CMD is exceeded by, considering that jousting competitors got unhorsed frequently.
Edit: Oops, I forgot Armor Check Penalties. Well, there ya go.
Fair game. As the GM, you'd want to think cinematically though. Throw CR's, feats and abilities out the window and turn the scene into a dramatic one, or one of relentless menace (like in Salem's Lot), and the characters need to figure out how to push back or forestall the menace while you provide lots of clues.
Example: The vampire is slowly descending the stairs, enjoying the fact he's intimidated the PC's and is showing his fangs, intending to corner each of them and drain them of their lives. Perhaps he's monologuing the whole time, revealing how he's manipulated the PC's up to this point. The players need to
Meanwhile, the GM's description includes "You've heard legends about these POWERFUL monsters and the INCREDIBLE powers they wield. Did you wish to attack him with your FEEBLE weapons, or did you want to rescue the girl and RUN?"
Can one use Spellcraft or Detect Magic to understand the workings of a magical device, like a trap or a teleporter?
Case-in-point: There is a certain AP which has a room with levers and "floating spheres of mist" which act as teleporters. One of the levers affects the destination of the teleporters, and each sphere teleports to a different location. This is not the first time we've seen teleporters in Paizo adventures. I was curious if an astute PC could use his skills to decipher and understand such magical devices and save the PCs a lot of trouble...?
My 2cp: I often have what I call "dramatic scenes" wherein amusing stuff occurs to set the scene, get a laugh, get everyone to loosen up, let the bad guy monologue.
So long as it doesn't put the PCs at a disadvantage, then no sense of agency is broken. No harm no foul.
I once had a villain noserafu make an escape despite the efforts of the party. I explained "He's protected by plot armor" and that got a belly laugh out of everyone. They understood.
Jacob Saltband wrote:
Good to see another player who doesn't regard "the fluff" as something that just goes by the wayside in favor of "the build".
I think the logical dysfunction here comes from the fact any spell appearing on some non-wizard's spell list is by definition, not a wizard spell.
When a cleric casts Plane-Shift, he's casting a divine version of plane-shift, and one given to him by his deity.
Now...getting snotty with "why can't you read?" replies overlooks the fact that what I just wrote it how the "yes" crowd is reading the rules. So there it is.
Jacob makes a fine argument, as PFS seems to be the watermark of the wider game.
I'm open to an FAQ ruling.
While it works in theory, such things rarely work in practice. Why? Outside influences. It's chaos math, basically. In the years it would take some sorcerer to work out his "technique" he would doubtless make quite a few enemies who didn't take well to his undermining of their local influence: gangsters, crooks, politicians, wizards, etc. In a world of magic, there are plenty of ways to detect its influence.
Google "Jesus sorcerer" for a bit of history on this.
From a GMs perspective, I'd let you get away with this for a while, but then I'd use it as an excuse to make you some fun enemies.
Inquisitors of Pharasma show up investigating the demise of three notorious and wanted vampires. Church is impressed with adventurers.
Opportunity is offered to "finish the job" by traveling to the astral plane to eliminate the villain holding those vampires souls (because magic). Adventurers bodies will be kept safe and negative levels removed in the meantime-- using artifact unique to that particular church.
-solves problem
For demoralizing, sure. Every urban setting (or rural town) may have a thug or two, or even a member of the upper-class who doesn't want to be bothered. A quick Intimidation check to "send a message" and I award the player with a "Shaken" Condition Card.
In-fact, lots of demoralizing going around in Crimson Throne. It's kind of like our modern world, in that a person's PRESENCE and AUTHORITY is projected more often than you think, even innocuous social settings.
Imagine PCs trying to get aboard a ship, and the harbor master putting up his hand and saying "This is my harbor, not yours. Do I need to call the city watch?" It's not a combat situation, but it's about someone swinging their weight around.
It sounds to me like they weren't having a good time, and decided to leave.
A lack of face-to-face social interaction is one of the reasons I have migrated away from online gaming in general. There is fun to be had, but some people don't seem to understand that sitting in your home instead of at a table with friends doesn't give you the excuse to not show up on time, or to goof off.
Game Master wrote:
Inherent evil really IS the crux of the matter and moreover it's an artifact left over from the very beginning of D&D. Orcs and goblins are inherently evil. How do we know? Detect Evil tells us so. Kill them!
Is it interesting? Enh. Your mileage may vary with your philosophy. But evil isn't necessarily just impinging on someone's freedom, comfort or security. In a more medieval sense, it's INVITING something else in. Drawing an unholy symbol is making evil that much more "real" in the world. Uttering "evil" words is inviting an evil spirit within you, so others should make the sign against the evil eye, etc.
Let's not forget the material component of Infernal Healing is demon's blood. How does the caster get this component? Why, through the evil act of summoning, bargaining for, purchasing or otherwise getting a substance that is inherently evil, even if just from someone else (who must be evil, or he wouldn't have it). When evil becomes tangible and quantifiable, it actually makes storytelling a bit easier (if a little less interesting).
I myself like to imagine that using Infernal Healing causes nasty, painful scars that flare up whenever the recipient says or does something good--reminding him or her that they accepted such magic and that dark agents have a little hook into their immortal soul...

Upon casting, Reveal Backstory causes all actions to pause as though Time Stop were cast. The subject then begins explaining what brought them to the current combat scene, and may include anecdotes about their childhood abuses and their relationship with their current employer.
The divine casting of Reveal Backstory will have a booming voice manifest and explain the target's actions in third-person.
When complete, time speeds back up and actions continue normally.

With antagonist - yeah, good luck with that, they're usually dead before they can say "my name is Inigo Mon-URK ...".
This got a laugh out of me.
Yes, well, Crimson Throne is an urban adventure, and so I wanted to use the setting to exploit non-combat ways of building tension, like the generous use of Intimidate (like in gangster movies), and Diplomacy --especially the use of the Social Combat deck (although I've learned there are times when it just slows things down). I actually allow Diplomacy during combat on certain occasions (despite the 1 minute rule), as I think it allows a certain dialogue for exposition or negotiation-- like fencers having a repartee, or jedi sneering at one another.
I've gotten to sliding little bits of back story into character's appearances like "You notice she's wearing barbed armor of masterwork quality...a gift from her master upon reaching 7th level in her unholy studies of Zon-Kuthon" etc. The PC's have no way of knowing this, but it lends a nice context to things so long as I'm not giving away important information.
I'll sometimes hint around while they're doing Gather Information or Perception checks that there are deeper secrets to be found, and then encourage Knowledge checks. I think I'm doing all right with it, but there are sometimes GREAT AND AWESOME things Paizo's authors have written-in that I just don't have the opportunity to expose to the group.
Thanks for your answers, everyone!
How do other GM's reveal the interesting backstories of those NPC's well-written into the AP's?
Case-in-point: "Cinnabar" from Curse of the Crimson Throne: great backstory, but like so many other NPC's we conjure up, where and how do we tell their stories during the adventure?
I have some tools of my own, but I'd like to open things up and hear from others.
Use a generator like Nethys's excellent site:
Let them buy and sell as they wish, in a city that can afford the items or not.
When in doubt, go to the Gamemastering Page and award gems and coin based on the "Treasure Values by Encounter" table.
Sword of the Narwhal When used underwater, the wielder of this sword gains waterbreathing and move 60'. They can also make a charge attack by holding the pommel of the sword against their forehead. If they damage their opponent, they must make a DC10 Fortitude save or be knocked unconscious for 1d4 rounds because they were holding their weapon against their forehead, and because they're not really a narwhal.
Lightsaber of Disappointment This weapon seems to be the legendary weapon known to be the coolest of weapons found in Numeria: the energy-bladed lightsaber! However, this weapon will always be a disappointment to its wielder. For every question the player asks about it, you the GM should give a disappointing answer:
Back in the 80's, i read a module called "Queen of the Demonweb Pits" (by David Sutherland III and Gary Gygax), in which there was a description of another world:
Demonweb wrote:
I knew that that was incredibly cool, taking the player-characters from one fantasy world into another, and I knew that there was really no limit to how deep we could go if we wanted to.
And that's when I was hooked on rpg's. I learned how to DM, and the art of telling an interactive story, as well as how to organize and how to get everyone involved and keep everyone involved. I'm not perfect, but I've learned that if you love to do something, you get gradually better at it.
A few years ago, I discovered Pathfinder, which seemed like a good, modern interpretation of D&D, with no-holds-barred and even a flare for a bit of horror and sci-fi. My friends and I picked it up and have been having fun ever since.
Some good answers by Neirikr and Wyrd.
I invited my players to choose in what way Gaedren Lamm wronged them, giving them a history with the crime organizations of Korvosa.
I have a player who has a home and family.
I have a player who had a valuable heirloom book stolen from him by Gaedren, that was later purchased by Rolth. (sort of a macguffin to keep him searching for it).
I remind the players frequently that there are immediate resources available to them (like healing and restoration) that is not readily available outside the city.
And I also remind the players that just as there is no crying in baseball, there is no nihilism in fantasy roleplay. You have to care about something in order to get on in the world, even if it's your own selfish pride.
I put together a couple of props for my table: a bag of 1000 coins (pennies). It filled a plastic grocery bag to the size of a large grapefruit, and weighs several pounds. I showed it to the players and let them pass it around "This is what Field Marshall Kroft hands to you (albeit gold pieces)"...we were playing Curse of the Crimson Throne. My point was, that 1000gp is bigger and heavier than you probably imagine.
100gp? I put 100 quarters into a dice pouch. It's a bit heavy, and is about the size of a tangerine.
My advice: Use weight and encumbrance as a kind of logistical puzzle for the players to solve. Piles and piles of coins? Get a wheelbarrow or invest in a handy haversack. Gotta transport a lot of wealth? Buy gems. Found a whole warehouse of trade goods? Run back to town and get inventive with who you hire or sell the contents to.
The idea is that it should be fun to solve weird problems, and sometimes those solutions can lead to new relationships in-game, or opportunities for adventure or trouble. They should help make your game world more real to the players. Don't just hand wave things away unless they threaten to bog down the flow of gameplay.
I'll second the motion for Lost Caverns of Tsjocanth.
Good post above by Mark Hoover.
Running a sandbox is a good idea, but it requires two elements:
Negative levels are a consequence of failure. Consequences can be used in interesting and creative ways to encourage success.
Success is fun. Everyone enjoys hitting the high points in the game. Being at the bottom of the heap makes success all the more sweet.
Got a competent character who rolled badly and now has a negative level? Use it as an opportunity to roleplay seeking out information on that undead; learning some secret that will make it more vulnerable to the hero. Every epic tale has the hero facing some dark moment in their careers where they have to purge themselves and learn anew in order to defeat evil.
Reserved for only the finest adventurer convicts who don't "play nice" in the chow hall.
Sorcerers get polymorphed into geese for the duration of their sentence. Misbehavior results in goose on the menu in the chow hall.
It is not common knowledge, but amongst wizards it is known that summoned monsters are typically from the Outer Plane of the Beastlands. These are of the essence of incarnated souls from the Prime Material, and make up a vast population of those souls whose intelligence was good or neutral, but spend eternity mastering their more bestial natures in a rubric only the gods can understand. The lower-levels of these beast-souls incarnate on the Prime Material again when summoned as a "test" which is part of their regimen. That dire badger you just summoned? He was an intelligent person just like you only a few hundred years ago on some far away world. When he is slain or dismissed, he returns to his clan in the Beastlands to meditate on his performance.
Of course, demons and angels come from their respective planes. It is all part of a vast cosmic relationship between the Prime and the Outer Planes.

Would You Consider Haye Beating Wlad An Upset?
There are some members of BS that think Haye will KO Wlad but I would say the majority of posts that I've seen say Wlad will beat Haye. In your opinion will you be surprised if Haye can pull out a win? and would you consider it an upset?
P.S This is a scenario only if the fight EVER gets signed. I'll only believe it when I see them both in the same ring on fight night.

Not really. Haye is the underdog, but if Haye was to knock Wladimar out - I wouldn't be to surprised, I think Haye is more than capable of winning. And Wladimar hasn't a great chin, and plus the only way Haye wins is by TKO/KO - It's no secret Haye will be looking for a knock-out victory if the opportunity arises for him. I don't see Haye winning a decision, as Wladimar will out box him and jab his head off.
I do favour Wladimar though, and I do expect him to decapitate Haye in the latter stages of the fight, ending the fight with a devastating right cross. At the first both will fight cautious but I see Wladimar getting in the rhythm after the 6'th round (if the fight makes this stage), the jab will start landing and vicious right-crosses will be dished out.
No doubt this will be the most competitive fight Wladimar has been in for a while, but I think he makes a statement in this fight. This bout I believe will be the most vicious and ruthless Wladimar we've ever witnessed in the ring (seriously), and Haye is the man who'll be on end of it.

I get the impression a lot of people seem to be underestimating David Haye. But I would not consider it an upset, I see it as 60-40 for Wlad so with those percentages he has a chance.

Not a huge upset. Haye's got speed and power. Wlad's got a dodgy chin. Its the HW's. A Haye KO is not a big upset.
If Haye outboxes Wlad and stands him on his head for 12 rounds, then its a huge shock.

I have been developing an application for the last five months and just ran into this problem.
We are using EF5 and, similar to this question, I designed the class hierarchy to have all entity classes derived from an abstract base class to force validation interfaces to be implemented. We are also using the validation attributes in the entity classes.
Everything has worked fine until I started trying to use the entity classes in WCF Services. I am getting a bunch of serialization exceptions, and have been trying to figure out what "POCO" rule I broke in the design. This article tells me the class (obviously...) cannot be abstract, but since my classes are DERIVING from an abstract class, have I perhaps broken a rule I don't know about?
UPDATE: Here is the exception that I am struggling with:
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException, mscorlib, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Type 'System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.WorkSession_63308485A9007DE087FF55AD9F246FD677863AA39AD56FEF4586AB87E21832DD' with data contract name 'WorkSession_63308485A9007DE087FF55AD9F246FD677863AA39AD56FEF4586AB87E21832DD:http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies' is not expected. Consider using a DataContractResolver or add any types not known statically to the list of known types - for example, by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding them to the list of known types passed to DataContractSerializer.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Mizzou tennis team dropped a 6-1 match to the LSU Tigers at the Mizzou Tennis Complex on Friday afternoon. Missouri fell to 5-11 overall and 0-5 in Southeastern Conference action, while LSU improved to 7-7 and 1-4.
Senior Cierra Gaytan-Leach was a bright spot for the Tigers, she notched a big victory over the No. 69 player in the nation.
The visitors recorded wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles to take a 1-0 advantage into singles. LSU's Joana Vale Costa and Skylar Holloway posted an 8-6 win over sophomore Madison Rhyner and freshman Cassidy Spearman at No. 2, while visiting Tigers Abby Owens and Gabrielle Otero defeated sophomore Kelli Hine and freshman Tracy Dong, 8-3, at No. 3 action. For the third straight SEC contest, seniors Gaytan-Leach and Rachel Stuhlmann lead their No. 1 doubles match but the point was clinched before the pair could record victories.
In singles, LSU took a 2-0 lead after Holloway recorded a 6-2, 6-3 win over Dong at No. 6 competition. At No. 5, Mizzou's Spearman suffered a 6-4, 6-2 loss at the hands of Ella Taylor to give the visitors a 3-0 advantage.
After losing her first set 6-0, Rhyner battled back for a second set tiebreak against Owens at No. 4 but ultimately fell, 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) as LSU clinched the team win. Hine won her first set but LSU's Noel Scott responded to take the final two sets and defeat Hine, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Gaytan-Leach and Joana Vale Costa, ranked No. 69 nationally, split the first two sets as well. Gaytan-Leach won set one, 6-3, while Vale Costa was victorious in set two, 7-5. However, Gaytan-Leach took set three, 6-3, to emerge with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles.
At No. 3 singles, Stuhlmann and Otero battled to a third-set tiebreak but the visiting Tiger came out with a 5-7, 7-6 (7-2), 1-0 (10-8) win.
The Tigers return to the court on for a double header on Sunday, March 16. Mizzou will host conference foe Arkansas at Noon and Drake at 6 p.m.

What better way to start the morning than with a hearty bowl of steel cut oatmeal? Especially if you're heading up to the mountain for a day of skiing. We had this lovely bowl of oatmeal at Sunriver Lodge and it was a scrumptious stick-to-your-ribs-breakfast-of-champions. Topped with a healthy dose of cinnamon, diced apple, golden raisins and the wonderfully unexpected bit of orange zest. We should be able to tackle the slopes for sure with this meal!

By Zack firstname.lastname@example.com It was the bottom of the third inning at Lovejoy Softball Complex. Morrow trailed for an entire inning. After trading four-run innings in the first, the Lady Wildcats drove in seven more runs to take an 11-4 lead on the Lady Mustangs in the second. Morrow answered with four. They may not have realized it, but there was a lot riding on this game. If Morrow could come back, it would ensure a championship victory for Mundy's Mill, but if Lovejoy could hang onto the lead, then remain undefeated for the remainder of the tournament, they could snatch the championship that was already so close to being within Mundy's Mill's grasp. Members of the Lady Tigers' orange-clad squad watched the game as Morrow began closing in on its deficit. The Lady Tigers had already ended their first game of the day, administering an explosive attack upon Mt. Zion, 22-3 in three innings. The win put Mundy's Mill up 3-0 in the tournament, meaning the best any other team could hope for, with each having suffered at least one loss, would be a tie breaking win of Mundy's Mill's total for the trophy, provided that team could also defeat the Lady Tigers. That's the hope Lovejoy was battling for, when in the final inning Morrow sent six runners home, to take their first lead of the game, 14-12, just in time for the game to complete three innings and hit the game-ending time limit. Before the night could be concluded, Mt. Zion would have to contend with Osbourne and Mundy's Mill would face Lovejoy. As the Lady Bulldogs suffered through a 19-0 loss to the Lady Cardinals, Lovejoy was playing for pride, going up against what was arguably one of the toughest teams in the tournament. Despite an 8-0 first inning, the Lady Wildcats continued to battle, ultimately bowing out in four innings , 13-3. There may still be a final day of competition to go, but Mundy's Mill had already taken home the Clayton County Clash of Champions trophy. The Clash of Champions tournament featured a round-robin style of play, where all five participating teams had the opportunity to play each of the other teams in the series. With five round of games spread out among three days, each team also enjoyed the benefit of a single bye. Luck of the draw gave Mundy's Mill a bye on the final day, meaning the Lady Tigers completed their fourth and final game Friday night, to cap an undefeated streak through the tournament. "We've had a lot of good, bright spots. It's a great way to start the season," said Mundy's Mill coach Patrick Smith as he addressed his team upon receiving the championship trophy. "I think we did really well," said Mundy's Mill pitcher Bryonne Ballard. "We've got a lot of freshmen and they really stepped it up this week. We did what we had to do to win the tournament."

Who's got faith in Iran and US relations?
Just recently the first U.S. religious group to meet with an Iranian president in Iran since the revolution in 1979 returned with assurances from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Iran "does not intend to develop nuclear weapons" and that he is willing "to enter into direct, face-to-face talks with the United States government."
Read the FPL press release. And here's the main website for the Iran delegation.
"Even with this tragic history we have visited upon Iran for the past 55 years, there is an amazing depth of appreciation and love for the U.S. people," said Jim Winkler, top executive of the United Methodist Board of Church and Society, the denomination's social action agency. "There have been lots of contacts between Muslim religious leaders and Christian leaders from around the world–and with American Christians–over the years, but this was considered to be significant because it was attached to meetings with government leaders," Winkler said.
The Weekly Standard writes: The delegation was organized by the Washington, D.C. lobby offices of the Quakers and the Mennonites and is a follow up of sorts to a meeting that several dozen religious officials, including Winkler, had with Ahmadinejad in New York last October. This time, the group will also meet with former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, who spoke at the Episcopal Church's National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. in September.
Besides Winkler, the Quakers, and the Mennonites, the delegation to Iran includes representatives from the National Council of Churches, Sojourners (Jim Wallis' evangelical-left group), and Pax Christi, a liberal Catholic group.
"We are making this trip hoping it will encourage both governments to step back from a course that will lead to conflict and suffering," explained a Quaker official, Mary Ellen McNish, general secretary of the American Friends Service Committee. But the delegation acknowledges that Ahmadinejad's unsavory positions may have to be confronted.
Over at beliefnet, Sojourners COO Jeff Carr went on the trip and blogged on the journey. Reflecting on the Iranian Hostage Crises, he writes:
"I don't think I have ever realized how traumatizing those events were for me, and how seared into my memory and psyche they are. How they serve as a filter, even today, 28 years later, to the way I (and I surmise many other Americans) see Iran. It is the narrative that informs my thinking about Iran today and the relationship between our nations."
Iranian born Reza Aslan speaks about the future of U.S./Iran Relations. At the World Affairs Council, Reza notes:
The strategy of the United States over the past two and half decades to contain Iran has only strengthened the hand of the country's clerical regime and made full democracy a more distant prospect. It is time for a new approach, one that could curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and force Iran out of its economic isolation, leading to the regime change that the U.S. has been striving for since 1979.

Sunflower Bread
|Dry yeast
|1⁄2 Ounce (2 Packages)
|Hot water
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs) (At 105 To 110 F)
|Sunflower seeds
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) (Untoasted)
|All-purpose flour
|3 Cup (48 tbs)
|3⁄4 Teaspoon
|Prune syrup
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|White grape syrup
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Sunflower sprouts
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), chopped
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Vegetable cooking spray
Add the yeast to the hot water, stir gently until the yeast dissolves and set aside.
Place a 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over high heat and add the sunflower seeds.
Heat, shaking occasionally, until the seeds start to turn brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Place 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt in the bowl of an electric food mixer equipped with a dough hook, and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
Add the fruit syrups, and mix at low speed until the ingredients are well blended.
Add the yeast/water mixture and mix about 1 minute.
Turn the control to high and mix for 5 minutes, add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, and continue mixing at high speed 10 minutes more.
Add the seeds, sprouts, and currants, and process just until evenly distributed.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into 4 pieces.
Knead each piece 6 to 8 times.
Spray 4 loaf pans (5 3/4 X 3 X 2 1/4 inches) with vegetable-oil spray.
Roll each piece of dough into a cylinder, stretch each cylinder to the size of a pan, place them in the pans and lightly spray the tops.
Let rise in a warm, draft-free place (approximately 80°) about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat the oven to 300°.
Bake until done, about 30 minutes, and remove from the pans to cool, preferably on a wire rack, before slicing.
