Stress and eustress in
Title. Stress and eustress in nursing students
Aim. This paper is a report of a study to identify experiences that led to both distress
and eustress and to make recommendations to help students cope with course
Background. Much of the research on stress in nursing students is quantitative in
focus and all draws on their experience of distress, with little attempt to understand
experiences of eustress.
Method. A series of focus groups were carried out with a volunteer sample of final
year nursing students (n = 16) in the United Kingdom in 2007. The data were
thematically analysed.
Findings. The themes identified were clinical experience, support, learning and
teaching experience and course structure. There were experiences within each that
were perceived as sources of distress and eustress. Many of the sources of distress
concur with earlier findings but they are more likely to be experienced and com-
mented on because the demands of present-day programmes and the profile of many
nursing students mean that more effort is invested in meeting educational demands.
The experiential learning and patient-care opportunity that placements provided
was an important source of eustress.
Conclusion. Students who coped well drew on effective support networks and
adopted a positive, optimistic perspective towards programme issues. Effective
educators did not offer more time than those perceived as less effective but seemed
more effective at tuning into students' concerns, showing more empathy and
offering clearer guidance.

Stress can be the result of 'too much or too little arousal
resulting in harm to mind and body' (Schafer 1992, p. 14).
There is a growing body of evidence that has looked at stress
among nurses and nursing students and its effect on well-
being (Parkes 1990, 1994, Beck & Srivastava 1991, Russler
1991, Heaman 1995, Jones & Johnston 1997, 1999, 2000).
As illustrated in Figure 1, a certain amount of perceived stress
and physiological arousal is necessary if one is to perform at
the optimum (B). If the source of stress is perceived as
negligible (A) or, more likely, is perceived as exceeding one's
capacity to cope (C), then distress results (Yerkes & Dodson
1908). That optimal level of stress or arousal is called

'eustress' (Lazarus 1974) and little research has looked at
sources of eustress in students (Association for University
Counsellors (AUCC) 2002; Leicester University, 2002).
The Job-Demand-Control-Support Model (JDCS) (Karasek
& Theorell 1990) identifies the role of a number of
occupational stressors or job demands and the moderating
role played by perceived control and support. These moder-
ators interact between perceived sources of stress and their
affect on well-being. The perceived absence of control and
support are additional stressors, as well as their presence
offering the potential to help a person cope. As the most cited
model of occupational stress, the JDCS model has been
effective in predicting well-being outcomes (Van Der Doef
and Maes, 1998, 1999) but has rarely been applied to help
understand student stress (Cotton et al. 2002).
The stresses reported among nursing students have been
categorized as academic, clinical and personal sources of
stress. Some of these overlap with the stress experienced by
students generally. Sources of academic stress include exam-
inations and assessments (Baldwin et al. 1998, Kipping 2000,
Howard 2001), and the timing of examinations impacts
particularly on the work–life balance of female students with
children. This student characteristic is more common among
nursing students compared to other student groups (Pryjma-
chuk & Richards 2007). In relation to workload, nursing
students experience longer hours of study and an associated
lack of free time (Jones & Johnston 1997, Kirkland 1998,
Mahat 1998, Lo 2002).
Thomas (2002) identifies 'institutional habitus' as a major
potential source of distress. A habitus, whether related to an
individual, group or organization, refers to a disposition or
set of values, expectations and norms. It characterizes how
that individual, group or organization presents itself. The
failure of the institutional habitus to dovetail with the habitus
of an ever-more diverse student population, such as the
distinctive profile of nursing students being female, frequently
mature and often with dependants, is seen as a contributory
factor affecting student well-being, levels of distress and
attrition rates (Thomas 2002, Pryjmachuk & Richards 2007).
Fear of failure and the teaching response to student need,
as well as lack of timely feedback on assessments, have been
reported by nursing students as specific stressors (Beck &
Srivastava 1991, Jones & Johnston 1997), while the main
clinical sources of stress relate to periods of clinical experi-
ence, or placements. Some of these stresses are common to
those reported by practising nurses and include working with
dying patients; conflicts with other staff; insecurity about
one's clinical competence; interpersonal problems with
patients and work overload (Rhead 1995, Snape & Cavanagh
1995). Additional stressors faced by nursing students include
a perceived lack of practical skills (Kleehammer et al. 1990,
Hamill 1995, Mahat 1998). The time pressures under which
they are expected to operate on placement, together with
evaluations of performance, are also reported (Jack 1992).
The attitudes of some staff towards students and the general
atmosphere on placements are other sources of reported
stress (Wilson-Barnett et al. 1995, Mahat 1998, Howard
Personal sources of stress include financial concerns (Jones
& Johnston 1997, Baldwin et al.1998, Brown & Edelmann
2000, Lo 2002); lack of free time (Beck et al. 1997) and a
concern about career direction (Leicester University, 2002).
These issues are common among students generally (Leicester
University, 2002) but they are more pronounced for nursing
students because of the increased course demands; because it
is a vocational course, which by definition limits career
options, and because those demands affect significant num-
bers of mature females, where the changes have to be
incorporated into home and family commitments (Pryjma-
chuk & Richards 2007).
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) has been used
extensively in nursing student and other populations and, on
this measure, nursing students experience levels of distress
comparable or higher than that experienced by any other
group of healthcare professionals, whether qualified or as a
student, and that includes medical students (Fagin et al. 1995,
Jones & Johnston 1997, Baldwin et al. 1998).
Measuring stress
Most studies have had a quantitative focus and, whilst there
are clear merits to such an approach, there is a need to
complement this by furthering our understanding using
qualitative methods. Moreover, the inventories used to

catalogue stressors in nursing students and the reasons for
leaving are only as good as the items they include and Jones
and Johnston (2000), following a literature review, concluded
that more research is needed to explore the link between
stress and well-being.
What is common to all existing inventories exploring
stress in nursing students (including the Stress in Nursing
Students Questionnaire, Deary et al. 2003, and the Student
Nurse Stress Index, Jones & Johnston 1999) is that they
ask respondents to rate perceived stressors in terms of the
extent to which they are distressing. Such an approach
ignores the fact that those stressors may, at different times,
lead to eustress or a level of stress that enhances perfor-
mance. Deary et al. (2003) measured burnout and stress in
nursing students and found increased perceived stress
combined with increased levels of personal achievement,
suggesting that often stress experiences were sources of
eustress. It was this finding, combined with the dominance
of studies that take a quantitative approach that informed
the choice of method and research question in the study
reported here.
The United Kingdom context
Across a range of professions within the United Kingdom
(UK), nurses top the league table for female suicides (Kelly &
Bunting 1998, Hawton et al. 2002). In recent years, the
professionhas also experienced
(Department of Health 1999, Bucchan & Seccombe 2003)
and stress has been identified as a factor linked to attrition
among nursing students (Jones & Johnston 1997, Deary et al.
2003). Given the impact of stress in the nursing profession, it
is imperative that attempts are made to understand the
factors that give rise to it in nursing students. However, most
of the research on nursing students has been performed in the
USA, which has a longer history of higher education
involvement in nurse education. Also, much of the work
carried out in the UK has taken place in Scotland, where
nursing is governed by different regulations and thus there are
differences in course curricula. This is the first study to
consider the sources of stress for nursing students in Northern
recruitment problems
The study
The aim of the study was to identify experiences that led to
both distress and eustress and to make recommendations to
help students cope with course demands.
A qualitative research design was adopted, involving focus
group interviews. A focus group brings together individuals
with a shared experience and through group interaction
participants' perspectives and views on the topic are dis-
cussed (Urden 2003).
A total of 16 students were recruited, on a volunteer basis,
from a cohort of students following the adult nursing
branch, the largest cohort. Students were invited to email
the researcher after attending an information session
outlining the aims of the study. Final year nursing students
were targeted because they would have had the most
experience of potential stressors. The age range was 18–42
and all were female, six were mature students and eight had
children. The volunteers were assigned, on a convenience
basis, to four groups of four. Between two and six is the
optimal size for a focus group, as recommended by Morgan
When conducting the focus groups, after a preliminary
general conversation, the key aspects of the participant
information sheet were re-iterated, including reference to
the discussion being recorded and later transcribed for
analysis. Each group was told the aim of the study. The
researcher (CG) began by asking the students to comment
on what they had enjoyed on the course generally, and
then more specifically on the sources of stress – distress
and eustress – related to the university, placements and
experiences outside the university. Each session took place
in a school teaching room and lasted approximately an
Ethical considerations
The study was approved by a university ethics committee.
The information sheet handed to students emphasized that
participation was entirely voluntary; that they were free to
leave at any time; that confidentiality and anonymity
would be maintained at all time and that being involved
would have no affect on course progression. Issues of
confidentiality and possible feelings of coercion were re-
iterated by the researcher before the discussions began,
especially that the views expressed would not affect student

Data analysis
The focus groups were audio-recorded and later transcribed.
The transcriptions were then read and re-read and the data
reduced to key phrases and statements that captured recur-
ring views (Polit & Hungler 1999). The patterns that
emerged were then analysed as broad themes. An important
aspect of focus group research is the dependability of the data
(Kreuger 1998) or that different parties arrive at the same
conclusions on the results. To achieve this, the transcripts
were reviewed independently by a second researcher (MD) as
a check on the themes obtained.
Four themes were identified from the data: clinical experi-
ence; levels and sources of support; learning and teaching
experience and course structure.
Clinical experience
Clinical experience refers to the activities students engaged in
to develop the clinical skills they will use on placement,
including objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs)
as well as actual placement experiences. OSCEs empowered
students and were a source of eustress for some. While
students felt that such activities were important in preparing
them for nursing demands, they also led to a difference
between how, in theory, those skills should be practised
compared to how they were actually practised:
Yeah. I found that very stressful – the difference in going out on
placement and learning the skills on placement and coming back in
the university to be told, 'That's not right'.
The frequency of working on understaffed wards made major
time–pressure demands:
I think a lot depends on staff numbers. There are a good lot of wards
that are short staffed...A lot of the time you're rushed off your feet.
You get little time to know them [patients].
What seemed to exacerbate the experience for a number of
students was the difficulty of balancing day-to-day ward
demands with the educational demands they simultaneously
had to manage:
It's just too much. It's 37Æ5 hours a week on placement, so you're
doing a full-time job, plus your portfolio (used for student assess-
ment), which really you could do with time off your placement to do
it well and research it, and then to put in an assignment on top of that
is crazy.
Despite the frustration that many felt because of such
demands, students varied in how they approached placements
and in terms of the rewards they reaped from it. One student
commented on her first placement:
I had no ward experience and when I arrived it was like a rabbit
caught in the headlights. But at the end they commented on how I'd
progressed. I thought they would be thinking, 'Here comes another
first year student, she'll be no use to us'. But if you make one bed or
take one patient to the toilet it meant someone else didn't have to do
that, and that was a benefit, and your confidence grows.
The perceptions of the ward team were a critical factor in
determining stress levels and how much students learnt and
enjoyed the experience. Being a mature student seemed to
make being accepted more likely. One student who came to
the programme direct from school commented:
On placements I was treated like a child, and sometimes called a child
and patted on the head like a child, which really annoyed me. It
wasn't the patients. They were fine. It was some of the staff that had a
problem with my age.
Whilst the appearance of a mature student might help that
student be accepted more, it was the perspective held by the
student towards the opportunities the placement offered that
was critical. If it was a positive attitude and one of optimism,
then the experience was one they were more likely to cope
with and learn from:
I've put a lot into all my placements. I've worked hard and I got a lot
of reward back – when patients comment on how helpful and gentle
you are. When you feel you can do something that is of benefit and
help that patient's experience while they're in hospital, no matter
how small that is, that's the real reward.
Your confidence grows…you're trying to be confident even though
it's your first time doing something. But that's a real buzz – whenever
you do it and you do it well. You think, 'Just like a nurse. I did it just
like a nurse'
Levels and sources of support
Students' comments indicated a range of experiences on the
types of support available and how useful that support was.
Students were allocated a personal tutor who is a designated
source of support for the duration of their studies, but there
were inconsistencies in the quality of such support. There was
also a feeling that the information support, through feedback
comments on a portfolio, for example, was not always
available or was not as constructive as it could be to help the
student learn and cope better.

A common perception was that the tutors judged to be
more effective in helping students manage their stress did
not give excessively or any more time to a student, rather it
was the quality of the interaction that was different –
they would give their undivided attention to the student.
Where the comments were negative, it reflected a student
perception that some staff were unapproachable and distant
– that it was part of the habitus of the school. For
example, one student said, on referring to the first
talk the students received as a group on entering their
final year:
I thought that she's bound at some stage say, 'you're in third year
now, well done, and you've obviously worked hard to get this far'.
But it wasn't. It was, 'you're not allowed to do this, you're not
allowed to do that'. It was just all very negative – no support.
For most of the respondents it was a feeling of being criticized
rather than supported that added to the stress of the course
It's not playing on your strengths. It's always what you're not doing.
Not that you've done this really well or that really was good. The
ones that are helpful are really brilliant.
When asked about the networking and support opportuni-
ties that come from socializing, a rite of passage for so
many undergraduates, a number of students commented
that they were too tired and exhausted, or there just wasn't
the same opportunity. However, for many students, the
demands and intensity of the course meant there was one
valuable source of support that they were able to turn to –
each other:
That's why I think in nursing everybody goes to friends. I know other
people at X university, on other courses, and they would know, like,
may be three people off their course. Where, here, you'd know most
people because you have to turn to each other for support.
Returning to the university after placement was enjoyable
because the support of friends was more readily available:
It's always lovely to get back into the university after the 7 week
placement because you get to see all your friends again. It's great to
talk about things again.
Learning and teaching experience
There were mixed feelings on the quality of the teaching.
For some the standard was judged to be very high, both
generally and in relation to some of the specific topics
taught. On the general standard of teaching, two comments
When the tutor is able to tell a story around a point, I find it much
easier to learn. The good lecturers I have heard are those that have
hung points around their experience.
I've never had a bad teaching experience. They've all been good
teachers. It would just be nice if some of them were approachable as
For others, the teaching experience was more varied. Most
comments indicated that little learning occurred if the
teaching style was overly didactic and void of meaningful
examples. Much more learning occurred when the teacher
engaged the students; offered clear applications and allowed
more interaction.
While there was a recognition of the teachers' ability to
communicate, there was a feeling that there was an incon-
sistency in students' experience of the pastoral side of the
teaching role. However, what was striking was the extent to
which all the respondents felt their learning was adversely
affected by the disruptive behaviour of other students during
I feel like walking up and say 'Do you realise how rude you're being?'
It's a joke, It really is a joke.
Especially with a subject you find hard to grasp and you're trying to
get your head round it and everybody's talking and all.
Classes cancelled at short notice and with no alternative
arrangement was widely commented on as a source of
stress. This was true for both lectures and tutorials. In
addition, almost all respondents felt that basing tutorials
largely round student-led presentations added to their stress
and did not provide the learning opportunities they had
hoped for. However, there were some who saw merit in
student presentations, though all felt its use was excessive:
Personally I find presenting very difficult but it does force me to have
to learn the topic well, so it does help me in that respect.
This student's comment reflected more typical views:
I personally just feel that they're a waste of time. I think the
tutorials should be geared towards identifying the common
problems that people have and working through this so you gain
a deeper understanding of the material with everyone having
some input based on what they've read and learnt prior to the
A real concern for a number of students was the perception of
a variation in tutor support and guidance, for example in the
kinds of guidance material provided. This meant some
students felt disadvantaged:

Drug Safety:
There isn't much peer pressure to use drugs or alcohol. If you want to party, they will be available, but you can have a social life without using.
Drug Safety:
You choose your own path but if you wanted to get the drugs it wouldn't be hard.
Drug Safety:
A lot of people do drink but it isn't bad if you don't. I know there are people who go to parties but don't drink and they still manage to have fun and no one judges them for it.
Drug Safety:
I don't see many people being pressured and I've never seen an exchange of drugs on campus. Alcohol, however is everywhere and people are drunk every weekend.
Drug Safety:
It isn't hard to avoid the drinking and drugs, but there definitely are people who participate in it frequently.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There is certainly a fair amount of drug use at Emory, but those who use drugs other than marijuana and alcohol are very quiet and stealthy about doing so. Students are rarely pressured to do any drugs, and this a definitely a good thing, especially for new students.
Marijuana use is the most common on campus, as it likely is on many other college campuses. ADD medication or study drugs such as Adderall and Concerta are also used quite frequently as study aids. Many students pay a pretty penny for these pills, but to some this is just pocket change, another variable that facilitates the "drug scene" on campus. Emory in no way has a drug problem on campus, but there is a fair number of students who frequently use and abuse various drugs. Abuse is a relative term, though, because if any student were unable to keep up with his or her school work because of their drug use, they would fall behind and be unable to attend Emory.

The spokesperson for Iraqi insurgent group The Islamic Army in Iraq (ISI) said U.S. President Barack Obama can choose between withdrawing from Iraq and thus enjoying friendly relations with Iraq and other Arab countries and facing a vicious war that would drain the U.S. even more and enable Iran to strengthen its presence in the country.
Ali al Noeimy addressed the U.S. president in a 22-minute tape released on militant Islamist Internet forums by The Islamic Army in Iraq on Monday.
Al Noeimy started his message by analyzing the situation. "The single superpower status that America has strived to maintain for decades is now gone. America has lost its global leadership, its economy has collapsed and became casualty of the credit crunch, it gave other countries the chance to rebel against it and it is no longer capable of supporting its allies," he said.
Al Noeimy accused former U.S. President George W. Bush of offering Iraq to the Iranians on a silver platter "without needing to fire a single bullet."
"The arrogance and stupidity of the previous administration is what gave Iran today enough influence that could enable it to control Iraqi oil sources without spending a single dollar, or firing a single bullet," said al Noeimy.
Al Noeimy was however optimistic about how things could be different under President Obama's leadership.
"We look with eager anticipation to your decisions and your statements and also to your speech before the Turkish parliament. This shows us that you are at the beginning of the road so don't break your promises to the American people or to the other people," he said.

|How common are bootleg DVDs here?
I bought a DVD that was supposedly "brand-new" and "factory-sealed" from an Amazon Marketplace seller and it's clearly a bootleg (pirated copy). The giveaway is that there are three major typos on the back cover! Words are misspelled and some letters that should be... Read More

White Sox Interested In Joel Hanrahan
2:29pm: Correction: the Sox are interested in Nationals closer Joel Hanrahan, not Lannan.
1:00pm: WSCR Radio in Chicago reports that the White Sox are interested in 23 year-old Nationals lefty John Lannan. Jon Heyman has heard the same. He has a fine 3.33 ERA in 119 innings this year. Not much of a strikeout rate though.

Mets Interested In Luis Ayala
2:28pm: Joel Sherman says the Mets have an outside chance of snagging Ayala, a Minaya favorite.
1:12pm: According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Mets are discussing reliever Luis Ayala with the Nationals. Omar Minaya "badly wants a reliever."
The 30 year-old carries a 5.54 ERA in 50.1 innings, though he's pitched better than that.

D'Backs, Angels, Mets, Rays, A's Unlikely To Make Trades
2:05pm: Count the D'Backs out, per Buster Olney.
1:35pm: Toss the Angels into the "not making a deal today" barrel.
12:38pm: The Rays and Mets also seem quiet today.
11:00am: According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the A's are not likely to make a trade today. Olney's source puts it at 1%. So, looks like Justin Duchscherer and Huston Street can rest easy.

Greg Maddux Rumors: Thursday
1:50pm: Jayson Stark says Maddux is not heading to L.A., which means he won't be traded.
7:07am: ESPN's Buster Olney says trade talks for Greg Maddux have stalled between the Dodgers and Padres. The Dodgers have mild interest and all the leverage as the only West Coast contender who will consider him. It's unclear whether the disagreement is over the $3.3MM owed to Maddux, possible prospects involved, or both.
Olney believes The Professor could be put on waivers on August if no deal is reached today.

Arthur Rhodes Traded To Marlins
1:41pm: MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo takes a look at Hernandez.
9:46am: According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, the Marlins have acquired lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes for 22 year-old righty Gaby Hernandez. The Fish acquired Hernandez in '05 for Paul Lo Duca. Hernandez is a solid return for Rhodes, even if he struggled in a Triple A stint this year. He spent some time on the DL this year with a left intercostal strain.
Rhodes, 38, has a 2.86 ERA in 22 innings this year after missing '07 due to Tommy John surgery.

Rockies Rumors: Fuentes, Redding, Fogg, Byrd
1:38pm: Jayson Stark says Fuentes is staying put. A little more than an hour left til the deadline.
9:33am: Mark Zuckerman of the Washington Times says the Nationals are leaning toward keeping Redding, and have even had preliminary extension talks with him. Trades of Paul Lo Duca, Odalis Perez, and Felipe Lopez are also unlikely.
THURSDAY, 8:31am: Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post indicates the Rockies want to keep Fuentes. He says they're looking at starters such as Tim Redding, Josh Fogg, and Paul Byrd. Redding's stock dropped last night with an ugly start.
WEDNESDAY, 9:12pm: On Sunday, Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd termed a Brian Fuentes trade "highly unlikely." However, ESPN's Jayson Stark says the Rockies will decide late tonight whether to put Fuentes on the market. The Mets, Phillies, and Rays are out given the high asking price.
Ken Rosenthal wrote earlier that the Rockies were "poking around" with interested parties, still asking for a young MLB starting pitcher or two good prospects.

Reds Interested In Nelson Cruz?
According to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan, the Reds may pursue Rangers' outfielder Nelson Cruz to replace Ken Griffey Jr. in right field.
Cruz, 28, is hitting a ridiculous .345/.436/.716 with 37 home runs in 97 minor league games. Of course, this is his fourth shot at Triple A.

Milton Bradley Trade Unlikely
Word on Chicago radio is that the Cubs have the Rangers' Milton Bradley on the radar. However, it does not appear that the Rangers are motivated to trade him.

Yankees Not Eyeing Byrd, Washburn?
12:31pm: Joel Sherman does not agree – he says multiple sources shot down the Byrd idea. Byrd could end up traded in August. Sherman considers the Jarrod Washburn talks dormant, but Jon Heyman does not agree.
12:02pm: According to Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees are "kicking around" Paul Byrd as an option. Names have yet to be exchanged. The Rockies have just mild interest in the 37 year-old righty.

Marlins Pushing For Laird
12:09pm: ESPN's Jerry Crasnick sees Laird staying put, at least until the offseason.
11:22am: Rosenthal says the Fish are pushing for Laird, but won't give up an MLB-ready starter for him. Mike Hindman wonders if the Rangers are demanding Ryan Tucker, putting a wrinkle into the Manny talks.
10:02am: The Marlins can cross Ivan Rodriguez off their list of catching targets, though they did make a concerted effort according to ESPN's Jayson Stark. They obviously couldn't part with a veteran reliever; in fact they just acquired one in Arthur Rhodes.
Stark says the Marlins are still looking for catching help. He believes Bengie Molina will stay put, but Gerald Laird, Ramon Hernandez, Gregg Zaun, and others are still out there.

I am interested in Eastern European culture, particularly Balkan cultures. I am studying Serbo-Croatian, and would love to practice my conversational skills with anyone who shares an interest in the Serbo-Croatian language. I am fascinated by all aspects of East European culture, including literature, poetry, music, dance, cooking, and traditional celebrations.
I am currently studying Russian and East European history, politics, and culture. I enjoy taking part in authentic cultural activities outside of the classroom and learning from others' travels and experiences.

I have been given the task to Load all our company's project data from MS Project into SQL Server to be able to create reports and dashboards from the project data.
I know you can export a specific projects data into a access database, but every project must have it's own access database. So my first thoughts was to create some kind of dynamic access SSIS connector and ETL. So that the project managers export their projects to access and the SSIS package takes care of the rest.
Is there a simpler way of doing this?
My company also have a SharePoint infrastructure as well as SAP BusinessObjects infrastructure. Is there a way I can accomplish this by the use of SharePoint or bobj

"I can see you are conflicted about what questions to ask." The Fire Tender says as Troxell goes silent. "Since this particular spell is not a druid secret, let us summon your companions."

Wren wrote:
"I dunno.." Kraygan says, giving big exaggerated blinks as his sight finally returns. "I liked it. Seemed approp'rit. I mean, when th' battle started it were you tha' Kurst came lookin for, and he put th' Steelkeg's under yer command. But if yer donnae wan' the glory, I 'spose that's ok."
Wren wrote:
Kraygan looks thoughtful a moment after listening to Wren's elven saying.
"I think I heard a Dwarven sayin' thas' sim'lar... 'A courageous general leads the charge. A good one directs it from afar.'" Still thoughtful, he adds, "Though I also heard it said 'A glorious general leads his army. A livin' one leads from behind.' ... not sure which o' those was said first."
With a huff that blows his mustache out, Kraygan looks at Wren with bloodshot eyes. "Like it or nae' I think yer the Capt'n of the Axes. Torag knows it ain't me - back in Janderhoff, they always said I weren't officer material. Cannae even get me cousins to follow commands..."
Wren wrote:
"I think I can make it." Kraygan groans as he clambors to his feet. "Jus' point me in th' righ' direction and..."
*Kraygan's eyes roll up and he crashes face first to the floor*
"I think I'll jus' sleep 'ere."
Though it seems he's passed out, he manages to get a few last words out. "Sorry for th' axe... had it made 'fore I heard ye dinnae like..." His words drift off into a snore.
Looking at his gift, Wren notices two words carved into the haft: Wren's Brigade.

Despite exhaustion and serious wounds, Kraygan is determined to rejoin his companions in the fight and staggers on through Trunau.

"Bloody boll@cks! Not the Ramblhouse!!" Kraygan cries as a boulder rocks his favorite place in the town.
Kraygan's beard bristles in a secret smile of pride at Wren's words. It was a speech worthy of a Dwarf Lord, and the challenge he makes sets his heart burning as if he'd just drank a mug of strong dwarven spirits. With a laugh, he offers the elf a dwarven salute, then vaults atop Haggis...
Quickmount: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
...and promptly goes right over the other side. Cursing his poor innocent yak, he is dragged a dozen feet before he manages to pull himself upright.
Once seated properly, he raises his axe and gives a battlecry.
"Baruk Trunau! Baruk Ramblehouse! Baruk Wren!"
Dwarf | HP 38/38 | AC 19 T 10 FF 19 | CMD 20 | Fort +11 Ref +4 Will +0 (+2 poison/spells/SLA) | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Rage 6/6 remaining
Kraygan turns purple at Wren's words, his grip throttling the handle of his axe. As the elf walks aways he turns to go over the half-orc's gear, but continues to grumble loudly.
"Yer lucky I don't have a 10' pole, cause I'd introduce it to yer arse! Oh.. nice belt."
Before heading into the next room he checks the bloody gash the troll gave him, then looks to his cousins and notices most of them also bear wounds. "Hoff, ye got any more healing prayers? If not, someone should probably take that potion."
Unless someone else is able to check out the magic belt I'm willing to throw it on and experiment.

Your grumpy old leatherman class intrigues me.
Regarding character development - I feel like everyone hit the ground running in this campaign, and feel inspired by the effort being put into it. I'll admit I didn't have the clearest concept for Kraygan at first, but I was fine with that. Roleplaying for me is one part alchemy and another part divination. Characters and events are mixed within an environment, each with the potential to act as catalysts to spark change. The random chance provided by dice is a sort of cleromancy, where the degree of success or failure can sometimes influence a catalyst and the future path a character might choose. I often work up a character, consider a path for him or her, then adapt and improvise based on this "alchemy and divination".
As far as personalities, goals, and purpose, I feel like most everyone has basic concepts befitting a normal resident of the town. Is that enough? Probably not for a heroic campaign, but I feel like we've laid good foundations to build upon. Wren apparently has a dark past, but obviously that will be tricky to reveal to the dwarves, whom he just met, and seems annoyed at being saddled with. The OOC insight provided by his internal dialogue is great though, and even if we never learn IC about his motivations, the story is better for it. I like using internal dialogue as well, but Kraygan just isn't very self-reflective.
In Kraygan's case, he is a trained soldier, but untested. He came to Trunau looking for action, but arrived in a time of relative peace and has become a drunk instead, thanks to his cousins and their excellent beer. His mettle has never truly been tested before now and I feel like these events are what will ultimately define him. He's a bit of a cliche, but I'm aware of it, and the one thing I do plan on is breaking that stereotype. How that happens, and when, remains to be seen.

"Har! Someone left an illusionary prank in here!" Kraygan calls from the room he's in. "Gave me a good case o' the goblies!*"
Moving to rejoin his cousins, and Wren, he finds Vanderhoff in the hall outside the far doors. "Hey Hoff, I found somethin funny..." He stops short upon seeing the arachnids of unusual size. "Torag's steel buttcheeks, those spiders are GIANT!"
Double move up next to Vanderhoff.
*The goblies: a sudden scary feeling, named for easily scared goblins.
Dwarf | HP 38/38 | AC 19 T 10 FF 19 | CMD 20 | Fort +11 Ref +4 Will +0 (+2 poison/spells/SLA) | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Rage 6/6 remaining
I'm good with the pace. I'm also fine with Wren pushing forward. Kraygan's happy to follow along in a drunken haze.
Fort vs Hangover (+2 for poisons, +2 for a light evening): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 15
"Gooooood MORNING!" Kraygan bellows in the Stable shortly after sunrise. If that doesn't wake up his cousins, his morning fart surely will, either through volume, length, or powerful aroma.
"Wooo! Smell's a bit like Rodrik! Har!" He declares, then heads over to the brewery for a little liquid breakfast. Once done with the hair of the dog, he armors up, saddles Haggis, and prepares to ride over to the Ramblehouse.
Dwarf | HP 38/38 | AC 19 T 10 FF 19 | CMD 20 | Fort +11 Ref +4 Will +0 (+2 poison/spells/SLA) | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Rage 6/6 remaining
Somewhere in Trunau...
"Hey! Yous! Bluuuurp. I'm lookin fer shummun. Girl, orc, Rodrik'sh shweetypie. What? Shtupid yak, yer going the wrong way! Wait, wait, wait... Wait. Stop turnin shircels Haggis, I'm gettin dizzy. Ok. Good. Oh look, we'sh home! Time, bluuuuurrpppp, fer a refill."
Kraygan is found in the stable courtyard, dangling by a foot from Haggis' stirrup.
Dwarf | HP 38/38 | AC 19 T 10 FF 19 | CMD 20 | Fort +11 Ref +4 Will +0 (+2 poison/spells/SLA) | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Rage 6/6 remaining
Pleased that his bartending has produced some results from the reluctant halfling, Kraygan pours a couple more drinks and brings them over as Wren attempts to make her cry.
"Hey now, it almost sounds like yer blaming poor Chem here."
He hands a mug to the elf, and another to Chem, and considers the situation.
Diplomacy: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2 LOL
Into his third mug, Kraygan's internal voice is starting to break free from it's cage, reaching through the bars in growling mumbles.
"Though tis a shame you didn't press for a name. I mean, that looks really bad."
Dwarf | HP 38/38 | AC 19 T 10 FF 19 | CMD 20 | Fort +11 Ref +4 Will +0 (+2 poison/spells/SLA) | Init +2 | Perc +4 | Rage 6/6 remaining
"Hah! The Steelkegs ain't no pushovers! Or pullovers in this case." Kraygan offers Rodrik and Kurst a firm dwarven greeting, which consists gripping wrists.
When the elf broaches the subject of the militia, Kraygan snorts. "You accept ladies?" He asks, then peers sideways at Wren. He'd always thought the elf was female, but had only seen him/her from a distance.
Kraygan bears a resemblance to his cousins, but has perhaps a dozen years on them, and about the same in pounds of muscle. His beard is long and straight, with a mustache like a long brush that completely covers his mouth. He's dressed nicely today, meaning he's wearing his regular clothes (all varying colors of dirt), but recently rinsed in the yak's water trough. A dwarven waraxe hangs from a loop on one side of his steel-plated belt, and a cudgel hangs hangs on the other.
With a shrug, Kraygan turns back to the militiamen. "I knows who yer are. My name's Kraygan Steelkeg. Was a soldier m'self. Served a tour watchin the homeland borders for giants. Trained ten years to fight 'em but never got closer than bolt-shot to one. Big dumb cowards, the lot of 'em. Gah! Where are my manners, have another mug!" Kraygan fills four more and hands three over, two to the brothers and one to Wren.
"So yer lookin to fill the militia? Might be tempted to join and help you boys out, but I ain't listenin to poetry or scrubbin graffiti! You can do that! Hah!" Kraygan toasts to Wren at the last part and downs half his cup, then utters a belch so violent it blows a spray of froth from his beard. Gesturing to the brother's father across the room, he says, "Heard old Jagrin's gonna step down soon. He arranged a replacement yet?"
A little information is a dangerous thing in the hands of the socially-handicapped.

"Ok, what kind of experiment did you blow up in there?" Richard coughs as the Cobbler returns from destroying the privy. "Quick, close the door!"
In the next room he's impressed in a whole different way as Maruf attacks the alien buffet with both claws. At Alpha's comment, Richard offers Kharax a grin. "He's talking about food." Looking through some of the tubes, he cracks one open, sniffs it, and gives it a taste out of curiosity.
Assuming it doesn't make him ill, or that his android makeup can handle filtering out any poisons, he moves to the far door and listens, hods the good tube in his teeth and his stungun in his hand, then cracks it open.

With Khonnir safe back at The Foundry, Richard spent half the night composing a story to celebrate their rescue from the Black Hill. A melody had begun forming in his head and he considered the purchase of an instrument to accompany the song.
Kharax of the Lightning-hand,
He was having trouble describing the Cobbler in heroic terms, and eventually set the song aside to study some of the items found in the Hill, particularly the stungun. He adjusted the holster on his belt for a time, finding a comfortable spot that didn't interfere with his sword, and practiced drawing and aiming, getting familiar with the odd weight and design. In a spontaneous moment, perhaps influenced by his thoughts of a certain tiefling, he pulled the trigger once while aiming at a chair.
The next morning, when he heard the bad news that Khonnir's affliction had returned, he knew Apha's words were true.
"With the reward from the council, along with the treasure found in the Hill, we have a sizable fortune from which to outfit ourselves better. I don't require much myself, a better sword, perhaps a chain shirt, a wand of healing, or more scrolls if a wand cannot be found. We also have quite a few technological artifacts that might come in handy. Khonnir had a scroll that could help there."
Does Joram restore Khonnir again? And can Khonnir identify any of the items we haven't figured out?
What sort of purchases are you guys interests in? How much time do we want to take to prepare? The Cobbler can brew potions, and maybe Khonnir would sell that scroll of technomancy so that Alpha might learn it?

"Haha. Yes, great joke. Almost had you." Shu says through his teeth. He glares at the annoying man's back as he gets up to bother the co-eds, and finds himself automatically grabbing a teacup and lifting it partway to his mouth. "Hrmph." He eyes the cup and lowers it.
Flames begin to lick upon his fingertips.
Next time, Hustavan. Next time...

"You look like..." Like hell? Like sh!t? Like a wounded animal? Richard wonders briefly which comment would provoke the Cobbler least, but decides to change course mid-stream. "We should assess our ability to continue. My ability to heal is running out."
Richard examines the defeated robot, then the rest of the room carefully for others useful items.
Did we find a wand? I've got one cure light left on a scroll plus one more bard spell.

Maximo ascends the stairs, having looked about both first as second stories. "...We know Shadow Orchid was an assassin, and assassins are used to having people not trust them, and so clearly she would not leave it just laying about... Oh, you found it? Excellent!"
When Lillian mentions her pouch, he wonders aloud, "Should we put an item capable of creating portals within an extra dimensional space? I have heard that a bag of holding tossed into a portable hole can rip holes in the multiverse. Such a thing could prove quite, unfortunate. Like trying to sit in extremely right trousers."
Standing tall and pulling his coat straight, Maximo declares. "I will carry it and take the risk."
Kawrock heals some of Thorgrim's wounds and Oloch gives him a blessing.
Thorgrim slams one of the lions with his maul, injuring it badly. Then a white blur hurtles overhead and Barley lands nimbly behind the creature and decapitates it.
Ali injures a second lion with a not-quite-amazing magic missile, but in the chaos of this close quarters battle it's hard to be appreciative of art anyway.
Rufus is up! (he can fire from the corner, but the penalties are pretty stiff at the moment -4 for soft cover and another -4 for hard cover)

EF, I meant to reply sooner regarding your thoughts on agriculture, GMOs, etc. Thanks for taking the time to answer. It's nice to get information from someone who has actually studied the science rather than from some sources that seem to have strong biases, either environmental or political. I live in Southern California, close to Hollywood, which is full of people who have learned just enough to think they know what they are talking about. Most arguments are basically Like this: That's non-organic stuff and everyone knows that "stuff" is bad for you.
Personally, I'm cautious about the science, but mostly because I don't understand it, and wonder what the long term effects of it could be. And partially because I just don't trust big corporations to have our best interests in mind.

Embel was happily hammering away at a nail when suddenly something was wrapped around his neck.
"Ahhhh!" He literally squeaks in a high pitched scream. "Get it off! Get IT OFFFFF! GGRRRAAAARRR!"
Dropping his tools he bears his claws and gives a sudden deep roar very unlike his normal voice, and begins ripping at the creature.

Embel approaches the crane and looks it over. "Can't say I know much about these contraptions, but I'll..." He stops suddenly and stands up straight as if something invisible goosed him. He then begins to mumble in a Kelish accent.
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I will move Golarion."
Activating trance to channel a vision spirit for +1 to skills, and using my possessed trait to get a +2 bonus on knowledge engineering (which can also be used untrained).
Trance (Su):
A medium can enter a trance state, beseeching an additional spirit for aid or becoming more in tune with his channeled spirit, in exchange for granting the spirit increased inf luence over him. Entering a trance requires 1 full round of concentration. At the end of that round, the medium can choose to channel one of his known spirits that matches the alignment or ability score of one of his channeled spirits and gain its lesser power. Alternatively, he can select a spirit he is currently channeling and gain that channeled spirit's weakest spirit power that he does not currently possess. Either way, the effect lasts 1 minute. Any ongoing benefits from a gained power also end after the minute is up. A medium cannot enter a trance when he is already in a trance. Entering a trance increases the chosen spirit's inf luence upon the medium by 1 step.
Spirit - The Vision (Neutral Intelligence):
The Vision is a spirit of arcane knowledge, mad genius, and cryptic clues. The Vision might represent a great but mad wizard or arcanist, or an otherworldly being with unparalleled arcane knowledge that will break the minds that seek it.
Spirit Bonus (Intelligence): Spirit bonus on all skill checks.
Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 14

"YEHEAAH! It's about f@&*%ing time this place got interesting. I was startin to get really BORED!" The Rage shouts in his head, his excitement creating pressure against the back of his eyes.
Ruckus blinks a few times to clear his thoughts. "Ok, ok. We.. I'm in." Standing about average height but a little overweight, he has unruly brown hair that defies most attempts at grooming, yet still looks presentable. He's not a pretty man, but he has an impish and infectious smile and had in the past made a decent living as a stage magician and comic harlequin traveling with an acting troupe in Varisia. Then one day he found himself walking in the woods, loaded with the possessions of the master of the troupe and The Rage laughing wildly in his head. It wasn't the first time something like that had happened in his life and he had learned that escape was often more successful then apology.
As so he left Varisia and made his way far from it, eventually landing in Cassomir where The Rage had more or less behaved himself for the last few months.
In the online PBP community games might take longer than the playtest period.
Does someone playtesting an Occult character need to have finished a game and received a chronicle before the playtest is over in order to continue playing an Occult character, or will they be ok if they begin a game with an Occult character before the playtest ends?

"Yeah yeah. Don't count yourself saved yet. Door is locked. Whole building warded. Unless you want to go deal with whatever put it here, I think you" Shu pokes the Magistros. "should SHUTUP!
After straightening his robe, he adds, "We go find problem. You barricade doors and wait here. Ok?"
To his companions, "Let us go look look around, hmm?"
I say we just go clockwise around the place.
The pot-head female listens to Finger, then turns to the other goblins. "Hey yous! Reta with Big Chief Swordshanks! You listen to us or else!!" she mimics Finger's threat with a finger of her own. The other goblins ignore her.
"Acid?" The lizard hooded one says in response to Thael's magic. "What so fun about acid? You make fire too? Badmucus make fire. Lots and lots. Burn down many villages. Even own village once!"
The Groveler pops up from the snow and looks at Miaka. "No speak Taldum right now. Poog busy praying Zarongel. Zarongel say we goblins be ok, but he pretty sure you're f*@%ed."
Amon's words seem to have the opposite effect on the Oozer, who makes a point of licking a gooey finger with a crazed laugh.
"Me Mogmurch." The Flameling responds to Marco and holds up a scorched stick. "Me keep dis."

The hag rubs her clawed hands together as Teena begins to reach into the basket of wands. "Heehee! HEEHEE! HEE..." Her cackle ends abruptly as Teena closes her grip and pulls one from the group.
"...What! WHAT! How... HOW! You... ARGGHH!"
Teena's first attempt has secured her a wand of flying, and if she somehow cheated the hag seems unable to or unwilling to accuse her of it.
"Again! Double or nothing!" The hag challenges. "Your choice of spell!"
Cade finishes second breakfast and the young group heads to the town square.
The bells atop the Temple of Erastil toll their midday song, echoing throughout the quiet town of Kassen. As the peals begin to fade, the first of the townsfolk make their way into the square, dressed in black, as if attending a funeral. They slowly fill the square, moving quietly across the cold, hard ground, their eyes downcast and mournful. After a few moments, a murmur passes through the crowd and it slowly parts to let Mayor Uptal and Father Rantal Prasst through. The mayor leads the way with a tarnished silver lantern. Behind him, Father Prasst leads an old pony dragging a cart laden with backpacks and supplies.
Once he reaches the center of the crowd, Mayor Uptal stops and calls out to the assembled townsfolk. "Once again the winter winds blow through the Fangwood, marking the end of another harvest. There are wolves in the woods, howling at our walls, and serpents in our shadows, waiting to strike. Just as it was one hundred and seventy-four years ago, when Kassen himself left these walls to protect us, so it is today. Where are the heroes? Where are the brave folk that will venture out to Kassen's tomb and retrieve the flame to keep this community safe for another winter?"
Moltus steps forward from the crowd and gestures impatiently toward your group. "Are ye blind? They be right there, damned fool!"
Those gathered chuckle, despite the serious nature of the event. "Yes, yes, we know that!" Father Prasst chides the old sorcerer. "It was a rhetorical question, you nincompoop!"
"What's religion got to do with it?" Moltus stamps his foot and looks ready to roll up his sleeves, but some of his family intercept and lead him back to the crowd.
Clearing his throat, Mayor Uptal turns back to your group. "We have gathered supplies to aid you on your journey." He gestures to the cart which has a backpack for each member of the group. He then raises the lantern. "Who is to have the honor of carrying the lantern?"
Each backpack contains 5 days' worth of rations, a small tent, a winter blanket, and a full waterskin. In addition, the following items are spread out among the PCs' backpacks, distributed as evenly as possible: 50 feet of hempen rope, a box containing tinder and three tindertwigs, a labeled potion of cure light wounds, three torches, a grappling hook, a small bottle of local brandy, and the Trail Map that leads from Kassen to the Crypt of the Everflame.
Please indicate who is carrying what.

Aod can't help but crack jokes about sailors as the group rows through the Flotsom Graveyard toward Guaril's barge.
"So a man arrives to the River of Souls, bound for the Boneyard. There he is approached by an angel of Pharasma's court. 'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' The angel asks."
"The man replies. 'Well, I can think of one thing. I came upon a gang of pirates who were threatening a young lass. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest, meanest, nastiest one. I smacked him on the head, knocked the parrot off his shoulder, ripped out his earring and told him, 'Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me!'"
"The angel was impressed. 'When did this happen?' she inquired."
"The man replied, 'Just a couple of minutes ago...'"
Troxell rejoins the group to find them making deals for magic and ammunition.
"You want to fly, hmm dearie? I have what you're seeking." The hag begins shuffling the wands in the baskets before her, arranging a dozen into one before placing it upon a stool before Teena. "One of these holds the spell you seek. Choose the right one and it is yours. Choose the wrong one and I get to throw at stone at you."
Meanwhile, Xerexis deals with the faerie dragon Tchotchke. After a bit of confusion about the type of bullets needed, the dragon pulls out a small pouch filled with cold iron bullets, which the dragon willingly trades for sparkly gems, of which the group has more than a few to spare.
Normal costs, but must be paid in pretty gems. If Xerexis needs gunpowder he can get that here too, though it needs to be mixed from components (Xerexis has craft - alchemy, so that's not a problem).
As Xerexis handles his business, Tchotchke suggests that he can purchase magical oils and potions from his stall as well, though his supplies are limited.
Tchotchke has a few 1st level potions:

"A clever idea it was to send a half-orc ahead to spring all the traps. Samaeon, remember to purchase a slave the next time we head into a place like this."
Samaeon, who seems to be competing with Sigias for last place, replies from the back.
"Yes, master. Though if you permit, I might be able to summon..."
"Permission denied, worm!" Zahaz growls as he presses onward. "Deadwill here can find them, for now."

Is the trap large enough to hit the whole group? Just FYI, Zahaz is near the front while Samaeon stays in the far back.
Zahaz: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Zahaz leaps back, moving quickly for a humanoid his size. To the rear of the party Samaeon cowers away, also avoiding the worst of the trap.
Looking down at the color streaks, Zahaz growls. "Pink. I hate pink. Samaeon, your cloak!"
Samaeon scuttles forward, whipping off his cloak and trying to rub the paint off. He then retrieves a wand and uses it to heal Zahaz, though he does nothing for his own bruises.

Aod's been listening to Rutowski from next to the snack tray, sampling the cheese with Haris. He wears a scowl, but not from the man's story.
"So the smellier the cheese, the better? Who decides such things?"
It sounds like 2 or 3 voices, one of them singing.

"A sandman is a native outsider from the elemental plane of earth." Arovandeon explains to his companions. "It is the source of the disturbance in the sand."
Turning back to Madame Zelekhati. "If the sandman is not under your control, then perhaps it is the servant of someone else. We should destroy it." Arovandeon stands up and reaches for a small ceramic sphere, one of his bombs, at his belt.
Im not attacking just yet, but did My knowledge check reveal any resistances to energy or weapon types?
"Long ago, the evil Nhur Athemon — a powerful wizard and devotee of the demon lord Abraxas — fled Azlant with his household and slaves, making the distant Echo Wood his home in exile." In a meeting chamber within the Grand Lodge of Absalom, Aram Zey, the Master of Spells, tells the story with expert diction and organized thought, but little care for storytelling. As usual, he's giving information in the quickest way possible, as if talking to slow children. "He raised a tower atop the very hill where Thornkeep now stands. Ever fearful of discovery by his enemies in Azlant, the wizard-lord raised webs of illusion and magical wards to conceal his presence. Ultimately, however, Athemon's efforts were to no avail — in time, his enemies succeeded in divining his location. Azlanti wizards and soldiers broke into the hidden stronghold and destroyed Athemon and his followers, leaving little trace of the outcast's stronghold above ground."
Zey pauses as if to make sure you listening, before continues without really caring if you are. "However, the soldiers missed the workrooms and conjuring chambers under his palace. Over thousands of years, Nhur Athemon's wards slowly failed, but enough magic remained to make the hidden vaults a place of darkness and horror. The humans of the nearby lands avoided Brokenhelm Hill, but the goblins of Zog delved eagerly, seeking the power they sensed sleeping here. Goblin miners cut tunnels to reach parts of the complex buried during the long-ago destruction of Nhur Athemon's palace, and goblin adepts eagerly experimented with the magical properties of the halls, often causing their own demise."
"It has long been rumored that old treasures stolen by the goblins of Zog and one or two ancient prizes from the days of Nhur Athemon still wait to be found in the Halls Under the Hill, and adventurers have explored the Accursed Halls numerous times for glory and wealth. The Baron posts guards at the gate, but their only purpose is to make note of those wishing to enter and stop anything dangerous from wandering out."
"However, something decided to kill the watchmen on duty a week ago, and the Society has since approached the Baron with a request to investigate before any adventurers decide to ransack the place again."
Raising an eyebrow at those assembled, he poses a challenge. "Are any of you courageous enough" He emphasizes the word as if it might mean the same thing as "foolish" "to enter the Accursed Halls and see what new secrets might be unearthed there?"
N N 959, I would hope any guideline from Paizo or the event organizers would be pretty loose and open to individual GM modification.
There is a wide range of play style among PbP gamers, and I think a GM organizing a game should set out the ground rules right at the start for their individual game. If a GM gathers a group with the agreement that everyone posts at a certain rate, then they should also dictate the terms under which a player looses credit or is booted from the scenario. Personally, if I were running a game requiring 1 post per day and 1 on the weekends, I'd boot someone if they hadn't posted in a week and give them credit based on the number of encounters they actually participated in before booting. Now, if someone posts that they have a personal problem that will restrict posting for a week, then they should discuss that with the group as a whole, and probably arrange for some kind of contingent actions. In this day and age, loosing internet at your house isn't a good excuse. A person could take 5 minutes to use a friend's computer, a public wifi spot, or even a smartphone, to update their situation. If someone has a lifestyle or job that can take them away without notice (such as the military) I think that should be stated up front with contingent actions based on lack of posting for a certain amount of time.
What is a swashbuckler: An agile warrior who fights with skill and panache.
I would add that a swashbuckler is an agile swordsman who fights with panache using light weapons and mobility.
Currently the swashbuckler doesn't have enough mobility, and personally, I don't think an elven curved blade should be an option out of the gate with them (it's not a light or 1-handed weapon, but rather a specialized weapon that can benefit from weapon finesse).
MechE, I think you have illustrated quite perfectly the one thing that has been bothering me about the arguments to let a swashbuckler apply dexterity to damage. This is also the same problem I have with dervish dance, and to a lesser degree agile weapons.
I think the swashbuckler should be less about doing damage and more about avoiding it through some kind of bonus to AC, access to certain feats, or pinache deeds that aren't costly or a headache to manage.

His head just about waist high, Shu recoils from Frunobulax's strip tease. "Hey, how about you make warning before releasing kraken!"
Assuming Shu was also unsuccessful at intimidation?
"This goblin waste of time. Someone tie him up, or hang him."
Shu offers a length of silk rope for either purpose.

Awesome work on this! We'll (RelateIQ) update the images soon to the public registry. Do you care if we add this to the readme to our repo with credit to you?
This is great. Thanks guys for this, I will print one out for myself :)
Would you be open to contributing some of this to the official Docker docs?
Also, here's another real-world example of using links: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/11/docker-all-the-things-at-atlassian-automation-and-wiring/
@wsargent I was about to ask why you removed the sections covering running a registry, Shipyard, tips, etc.... until I noticed they're all in the blog post. :~)
Both are excellent resources, btw. Thanks for sharing all this! It covered a few bits I still hadn't found time to poke at. Now I'm looking forward to your next post: "using Docker with the Typesafe Stack." :D
very nicely written. Thank you. It's that good that it should be part of the official doc

@geshan One possible way to assign a static IP address to a Docker container, might be via @jpetazzo's pipework shell script.

Upper LimitsRead MoreChris and Pam Schmick had spent six months cleaning out the scrap metal from their abandoned silos and just finished drilling thousands of holes in its walls. With little time to spare, they prepared for their climbing gym's grand opening on September 2, 1995—a date on which they had already agreed to hold a regional JCCA competition. The effort they've expended in the nearly 20 intervening years shows: today, climbers scramble on top ropes, lead ropes, and more than 20,000 square feet of lava-free climbing surface. Instructors prepare visitors to surmount the gym's features in a range of classes, such as Rock Gym 101, which is an introduction to top-rope climbing that covers climbing safety, basic technique, and equipment. Once climbers are equipped with gear from the pro-shop, staff shows them around a multi-level bouldering cave, a main climbing area with 30-foot walls shaped by arêtes, cracks, and waves, and the building's five original silos. Elsewhere inside the gym, six auto-belays safely cradle visitors who wish to climb without taking a class.326 S 21st StSaint Louis, MO US

Inexpensive accent piece that will add POP to any room
Tom from Durham, NC – Verified Buyer
I did know but I am reminding you that this is a 15" ottoman, smaller than what most people might think of for an ottoman. However, the fabric is sewn very well, the orange color for me is a perfect accent in my living room, and though it is very light it is good construction and can hold my 190lb body; though I will most likely use it just for my feet to rest upon when sitting on the couch. I purchased two of them (orange fabric) and placed them in the two far corners of my living room rug (silver) opposite of my couch (black leather). Looks amazing! Pros: No assembly required, great fabric, true color Cons: lightweight, small (it's only a con if you are looking for heavier and bigger)
Thank you Wayfair
Michele from Oak Park, IL – Verified Buyer
I've been making my classroom to look and feel more like a coffee shop, hangout. I bought some ottomans from home, found a couple at estate sales, and added this one. Students sit in a circle around presentations on the smartboard - and this is perfect. A very bright shade of green (really nice), industrial-ish material, which works for me. This is really more of a playroom, dorm room or first apartment item, and is priced to be such (I bought this for under 30). Great item. Good value. Pros: came assembled - really great colors Cons: material is more casual and sturdy - better for casual areas in the home.
Great, compact ottoman for my son's nursery
Kathryn from Spring, TX – Verified Buyer
I ordered the orange Detour Cube Ottoman for my son's nursery because we needed something for me to prop my feet up during feeding/rocking times, but also something sturdy enough for my husband to sit on when he joined us for bedtime books, etc. This ottoman works great in the room because it's small enough not to be in the way, but sturdy enough to meet our purposes. We have been extremely happy with it! The description of the color was accurate and the material has held up so far.
Nice alternative to coffee table
Edith from Columbus, OH – Verified Buyer
I bought two of these in pink as a sort of coffee table replacement. I love the color and the tufted look. The fabric is ok, it seems sort of cheap and the texture is reminiscent of nylon basketball shorts. I would rate it with less stars if it were any more expensive, but being as cheap as it is I would say it is definitely worth it.
Fun cubes.
Julie from Laramie, WY – Verified Buyer
I got 2 of these cubes in orange for my daughter's room. When she came home from school she gasped and said "Cool!" They are a fun shape, size and color and are really sturdy. She and her friends use them for seating and love them.
Don't let the soft facade fool you
julie from Berkeley, CA – Verified Buyer
This ottoman was a great addition to my living room. It looks like it's not going to hold much more weight than your feet, but a large adult can sit comfortably on it and it won't collapse. Makes great extra chair when additional seating is needed
Just what I ordered
anne from Jaffrey, NH – Verified Buyer
Color was accurate as was the size. The pouf is a little harder than I expected. Thought they might be softer.
A Little Pop of Color!!!
Willie Mae from Parma, OH – Verified Buyer
I purchased a couple of these to add a little pop of color to my bedroom. They also, serve as great seating while getting dressed in the morning. Again, wayfair.com providing their quickly delivery and awesome pricing. I plan to order a couple in the near future.
Rain from Oklahoma City, OK – Verified Buyer
Love these! Bought two (orange) & the descriptions are perfect: size, color, weight etc. They are sturdy and look fabulous!! We love Them! Only reason not 5 stars is despite the marvelousness of product--- still think they seem over priced. Set to buy similar product but faux leather at local Marshall's for 29.99 each...but they sold out... This product is great but priced too high.
Great pop of color, but not very sturdy.
Joyce from Capitol Heights, MD – Verified Buyer
This ottoman adds a great splash of color to any area. This is a great accessory for a basement or living area. However, it is not very sturdy so I would not recommend it as seating for every size person, but it is great foot rest. Pros: Great color, classy style Cons: Not sturdy

Park City's Ted Ligety wins fifth giant slalom, claims World Cup giant slalom title with one race to spare
KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia — Ted Ligety of the United States won his fifth giant slalom of the season Saturday to clinch the World Cup discipline title with a race to spare.
It's his fourth GS title after winning in 2008 and 2010-11. He also successfully defended his GS title at the world championships last month.
"To win here again is a super cool feeling," said Ligety, who has won in Kranjska Gora five times and been on the podium every year since 2008. "I am really proud of that."
Ligety held his first-run lead to win in 2 minutes, 35.43 seconds for his 16th career victory, all in GS.
He established an insurmountable 125-point lead over Austria's Marcel Hirscher, who was 0.45 behind in second.
"It's a big weight off my shoulders," Ligety said. "I had an awesome, awesome season but Hirscher was there all the time. Even if I beat him by three seconds, he was still in second place. That makes it tough going for the title. It becomes kind of a head game when he is so close all the time. So I am pretty psyched to have it locked up now."
Ligety has finished on the podium in all seven GS races this season and became the first man to achieve that feat since Michael von Gruenigen of Switzerland in 1995-96.
Alexis Pinturault of France was third, 0.77 behind, and Felix Neureuther of Germany was fourth, 0.81 off Ligety's time. Ligety led Hirscher by 0.60 after the opening run, in which the Austrian placed fourth.
In the overall standings, Hirscher extended his lead to 69 points over Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal, who finished sixth.
Rain made for difficult conditions during the final run on a course that was soft by days of mild temperatures.
"Racing in the rain is not my favorite thing," Ligety said. "I grew up in Park City, Utah, where it's usually warm and sunny. These are totally different conditions."
"The snow is really soft," Ligety said. "It's hard to keep your edge in the snow well. It didn't feel good at all. This is a very difficult course set, especially for how the snow is running. It was tough to have a good feeling."
The course for the first run was set by Austrian slalom coach Michael Pircher. He designed numerous sharp turns, an unusual feature for a GS and one that didn't benefit Hirscher.
"I don't know why it didn't go better," said Hirscher, who beat Ligety for the GS title last season. "My feeling was OK, but obviously it wasn't good. It's hard to tell, it's a mystery to me."
A men's World Cup slalom on the same course is scheduled for Sunday. The last GS of the season is next Saturday at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

Let's enjoy a romantic dinner together with a magnificant view of the city lights, followed by a cirque de sole performance, and then a cozy tranquil sleep until late in the morning .
I enjoy playing with you in the ocean, or giving you a long relaxing massage, or cooking a healthy romantic dinner for you, or just cuddling together with soft long kisses.
I want to laugh together, and play together, and take serious things serious together. I want to travel together anywhere your heart desires. I want to respect you, and keep you healthy and finacially secure, and fill your days with love.

So different from the movie too technical....but it still was good they didn't have Tim curry character Mr Honolulu in itPublished 4 days ago by wendy tillgren
Michael Crichton is a great author and he makes reading about this adventure expedition to the CONGO, now Zaire, a fun adventure. Read morePublished 26 days ago by SEAL Dad
This is an exciting fast-paced novel. The book is well researched and many of the items noted are factually correct. This is a fun read.Published 1 month ago by Football Ref
One of Crichton's best in my opinion. If you love adventure stories this is the one for you. A bit too graphic for kids though.Published 1 month ago by Justus
Like the rest of his books, Crichton's attention to technical detail is unparalleled. The movie was a shame to Michael's masterpiece.Published 1 month ago by Dan Giblin
I bought this book for two reasons:
1 - I love the Movie
2 - It was on sale for £1 at Asda, and after reading it I'm glad i got it on offer. Read more
Very interesting book. The end seemed a little abrupt in comparison with the rest of the book.Published 1 month ago by Jacob McRoberts
