Ocean City Travel Guide
Affordable and kid-friendly too, Ocean City, specializes in the classic American beach vacation. Stroll along the Boardwalk, and you'll find adrenaline pumping amusement park rides, far stretches of powdery sand, scrumptious blue crabs, and plenty of souvenir shops. Bright carnival ride lights twinkle as families frolic to Ocean City Beach; intrepid sun-seekers parasail across the water; and the squeals of children are heard playing inside the arcades to Ripley's Believe It or Not ... continue» Read More
When to Visit Ocean City
The best time to visit Ocean City is from late May to early September, just be prepared for average highs in the mid 80s and a little humidity. There will also be a lot of crowds, and hotel rates that are double the cost of visiting in spring, so consider booking several months in advance. Budget travelers might want to consider the winters: Average low temperatures are in the lower 30s, keeping room rates down. But forewarning, local hotels and inns close down for the off-season.Read More Best Times to Visit Ocean City»

Getting Around Ocean City
Ocean City Neighborhoods
Ocean City's 10-mile beach is accompanied by a three-mile-long boardwalk and attached pier; plenty of hotels, restaurants and shops congregate at the city's southern end. The highly visible Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum is located at the Boardwalk's pier, as are some amusement park-type rides.
Ocean City Boardwalk
The boardwalk starts at the southern end of the city (which is bounded by the Ocean City Inlet) and extends north to 32nd Street. North of 32nd, Coastal Highway travels through the city and is strewn with shops, hotels and restaurants. Like 32nd, streets that intersect Coastal Highway are numbered and increase as you travel north. Along these streets are a multitude of mini-golf courses, restaurants and more affordable hotels.
Assateague Island
Ocean City is also located nearby other car-accessible bodies of water, including the Assawoman Bay to the north and Sinepuxent Bay to the south. Assateague Island, which straddles both Maryland and Virginia, is also a quick drive from the southern part of Ocean City. The area is known for its herds of wild horses, rumored to have first arrived on the Maryland and Virginia shores after a Spanish ship sunk off its coast, centuries ago.
If you're looking for a quieter beach scene, drive a little farther north to Bethany Beach or Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Both are less than an hour away.
Ocean City is relatively safe, but be sure to use common sense. Keep an eye on all your valuables and walk in groups after dark. At the beach, swim near a lifeguard and pay attention to any warnings that may be raised about the water conditions. One of the biggest things to watch out for in Ocean City is a rip tide, a current of water that churns as it rushes back to sea. These are recognizable by a difference in water color. If you're caught in one, stay calm and swim parallel to the shoreline until you are out of the current's way.
Jellyfish can also make an appearance in Ocean City. If you're stung, wash the afflicted area with salt water (freshwater will only exacerbate the pain), sprinkle meat tenderizer on it and see a lifeguard. Also keep in mind that glass containers, dogs and alcohol are forbidden from the beach at all times.
The best way to get around Ocean City is on foot or by public transit. Most of the top things to do are centrally located on the Coast Highway, an easy 10-mile north-south thoroughfare. The buses and boardwalk trams can get you to the destinations that are farther away -- and at affordable fares. Rentals are available at Ocean City Municipal (OCE) and Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional (SBY) airports, although most visitors opt to drive to O.C., not fly. If this is you, you might find parking hard to come by; we recommend taking advantage of the park-and-ride program.Getting Around Ocean City»

Sandra Boss, the child's biological mother and Rockefeller's ex-wife, was reunited with her daughter Sunday. Boss, who had apparently married Rockefeller on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket in 1994, won "primary residential custody" of their daughter, whom they call "Snooks." It's now not clear whether the wedding was indeed legal -- questions about the paperwork have been raised.
Rockefeller was allowed visitations with the child under the condition they were supervised. It was during one of these visits that he allegedly used an unwitting livery driver to escape the social worker and put his kidnap plan into action.
As investigators waded through Rockefeller's past, several media outlets have also dug in, sketching a collective timeline that may lay out Christian Gerhartsreiter's 30-year evolution into Clark Rockefeller.
Several residents in Berlin, Conn., have come forward to identify Rockefeller as a fairly mediocre student who arrived in the late 1970s to attend the local high school as an exchange student. Steve Savio, 39, said his family took in Gerhartsreiter, who quickly went from being a curious houseguest to a condescending nuisance.
The Boston Globe, citing marriage records, reported that Gerhartstreiter wed an American woman named Amy Jersild Duhnke in Madison, Wis., in 1981, a union that provided him a green card. He identified his parents as Simon and Irmengard Gerhartsreiter, according to the Globe. Attempts by ABC News to reach Duhnke were unsuccessful.
Gerhartsreiter later told the Savios that after leaving Connecticut, he took the name Christopher Crowe to open a production company. The Globe, citing former colleagues, reported that Christopher Chichester Crowe had a brief, unsuccessful career trading stocks in the late 1980s on the East Coast. A man using that name, who ingratiated himself in upscale Greenwich, Conn., circles was later wanted for questioning by authorities after he attempted to sell a truck in Connecticut that was traced back to the Sohuses, the Globe reported.
After Rockefeller's 1994 marriage to Sandra Boss, an executive-level consultant at McKinsey and Co. currently stationed in London, the family settled in Boston and Cornish, N.H., where many neighbors said they were suspicious about Rockefeller's past.
When asked about his famous last name, Rockefeller never had a straight answer about his relationship to the wealthy American industrialist family. At one point, he flashed a pocketknife bearing the Rockefeller name when asked by his pastor in New Hampshire. After his daughter's abduction, the Rockefeller foundation came out quickly to say the kidnap suspect had no relationship to famous lineage.
It was one of the first cracks in a collapsing fun house mirror of Clark Rockefeller's identity.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

When South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney met Michigan running back Vincent Smith in the backfield of yesterday's Outback Bowl, Twitter seemed to freeze. Nothing else was going on in the world. Forget New Years, it was all about Clowney. The reactions were rampant, wild and very NSFW. Some were simple, yet effective, like this from @_HoesLoveQuissy: CLOWNEY AGAIN! F*CK DEM NIGGAS UP CHUZZ and this from @TheMagicMan55: jedavious clowney bang bang bangin on fools. f*ck michigan. Then there was this tweet from @146Problems that really raised an eyebrow: That clowney hit just gave me a boner. F*ck watching porn tonight. Jacking off to that hit later on sportscenter top 10.

Canadian Pacific earned first-quarter net income of C$100 million, an increase of 74% from first-quarter 2009. Earnings per share were C$0.59, up from C$0.36 and ahead of the Wall Street consensus estimate of C$C0.51.
"We put in a solid performance this quarter, and our results reflect both improvements in the economy and CP's proven ability to rapidly adjust to changes in our customers' demands," said Fred Green, president and CEO.
Other highlights of CP's first-quarter report:
* Total revenue was C$1.2 billion, up 5% from C$1.1billion.
* Operating expenses were C$962 million, down 2% from C$977 million.
* Operating income increased to C$205 million from C$132 million, or 55%.
* Operating ratio improved 570 basis points to 82.45%.
Prudent and persistent capital investment has positioned Union Pacific for a robust recovery.
Although the Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008 was written primarily for the Class I's, many of the short line and regional railroads that touch roughly one out of every five carloads the Class I's handle will have to deal with this mostly unfunded mandate.
The Seattle City Council's Transportation Committee Wednesday unanimously approved a proposed First Hill modern streetcar project, and even seeks to extend the proposed route with surplus funds if construction comes in below budget.
The proposed streetcar route would run along Broadway, an alignment supported by both the Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn.
Funding for the project remains in doubt, however, in light of budget constraints facing Sound Transit. In addition, Sound Transit's Board of Directors has expressed reluctance to expand the scope of the plan beyond what's been approved by voters.
Funding for the project remains in doubt, however, in light of budget constraints facing Sound Transit. In addition, Sound Transit's Board of Directors has expressed reluctance to expand the scope of the plan beyond what's been approved by voters.
The route, if established, would not be Seattle's first; the 1.3-mile South Lake Union Streetcar debuted in December 2007, linking its namesake neighborhood with downtown.
Many supporters of the First Hill streetcar plan anticipate acquiring equipment from Clackamas, Ore.-based United Streetcar, LLC, a subsidiary of Oregon Iron Works attempting to establish itself as a long-term U.S. supplier of streetcars to meet anticipated domestic demand. United Streetcar currently has orders from Portland, Ore., and from Tucson, Ariz.
The railroad industry has a safety record that's the envy of many other industries, yet when railroads think safety, they think continuous improvement. The most important element is a strong safety culture, supported by training and technology.
Now that BNSF is no longer a public company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, what can BNSF's short lines expect? There are two indicators, both of which are in Warren Buffett's 2009 Shareholder Letter (available at www.berkshirehathaway.com).
In the key category of transportation (train and engine)—train operating crews—employment rose to 57,807 in March, a 2.58% increase over February.
This was about double the rate of increase for all employment. That figure increased 1.13% to 147,966 in March, according to a report posted Tuesday on the Surface Transportation Board's website.
All categories of railroad employment ran below last year's levels in March:
* Executives, officials, and staff assistants—8,966, down 10.16%.
* Professional and administrative—13,243, down 2.05%.
* Maintenance of way and structures—33,466, down 3.49%.
* Maintenanxce of equipment and shores—28,036, down 5.75%.
*Transportation (other than train and engine)—6,418, down 9.68%.
*Transportation (train and engine)—57,807, down 3.50%.
The employment index, based on 1967 as 100, was 24.3 in March compared with 24 in February and 23.7 in January.
Norfolk Southern Tuesday reported first-quarter net income of $257 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, up 45% from the $177 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, it recorded in the first quarter of 2009, and beating Wall Street consensus earnings estimates by a penny per share. Revenue rose 15% to $2.2 billion compared with the year-ago period.
NS's operating ratio improved by 5.1 percentage points to 75.2%.
Traffic volume rose 9%. General merchandise revenue was $1.2 billion, 23% higher compared with the same period last year. Coal revenue rose 4% to $629 million compared to a year ago. Intermodal revenue of $410 million was up 12% compared with the first quarter of last year.
The company noted first-quarter 2010 results were impacted by a $27 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, deferred tax charge resulting from the enactment of recent healthcare legislation, which, effective in 2013, eliminates the tax deduction available for prescription drug expenses reimbursed under the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy program. "Norfolk Southern delivered strong financial performance during the first quarter, reflecting positive trends in the economy," said CEO Wick Moorman. "Demand for rail transportation continues to grow in most sectors of our business. We remain confident that many of the cost efficiencies we have achieved will remain in place as we continue to invest in key projects and new business opportunities."
Shares of Norfolk Southern closed down 2.36% Tuesday prior to the company's earnings announcement. In after-hours trading Tuesday, shares were up 1.39%.

Lowestoft Ship

grid reference TM 551 934
View in Google Earth
last updated 11/04/2015
It would appear that a beer house of this name listed before 1860 in a different building but was still located nearby in the High st (south end).
This property was also for a short time an integral part of the Ship & Railway tavern before being separated as a separate business - called the Ship - at about 1860.
Later it may have been replaced by a new development called the Albion Stores.

Man critical after attack on Carlisle street
Last updated at 11:06, Tuesday, 01 May 2012
A man was fighting for his life following an attack in Carlisle city centre early this morning.
The 34-year-old, from the west of the city, was taken for treatment at a hospital in Newcastle after his condition deteriorated following an assault in English Street just before 2am.
He was attacked outside the Outrageous night club. Officers said the incident "continued across the street", finishing outside the B&M Bargains store opposite.
The injured man was taken to the city's Cumberland Infirmary for treatment.
Detective Chief Inspector Lee Johnson, north Cumbria's most senior detective, said the victim's condition had deteriorated and he was taken to hospital in Newcastle. He was today described as being in a critical condition.
A 26-year-old Carlisle man was arrested in connection with the attack. An investigation was underway today and police are appealing for the public to come forward with any information that could help.
DCI Johnson added: "We are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the incident itself or the circumstances leading up to it."
A large section of English Street on the B&M Bargains side of the road was cordoned off this morning.
Two police officers stood guard outside the area involved in the inquiry as people made their way to work before 9am.
Officers want to speak to anyone who may have seen a man wearing baggy jeans, a black jacket and sporting a skinhead haircut.
Call officers at Carlisle CID with information on 101.

Ratings And Reviews Disclaimer
I really enjoy using this product. Gillete Odor Shield All Day Clean is one of my favorite body washes that I use. I also use Old Spice Swagger which is similar to this product. Gillete All Day Clean Body Wash has a really good smell to it, it is a sweet but masculine scent. It is the perfect odor for a man to have for this decade, I believe this product is geared toward a younger man. I recommend this product for any guy in their twenties or thirties. I especially recommend it for single guys trying to attract the ladies. If your already in a relationship and you want your woman to keep giving you affection, you should shower with Gillete Odor Shield All Day Clean Body Wash. After the shower you gotta use the All Day Clean Anti-Perspirant Deodorant which is a good compliment for the body wash.
Yes, I recommend this product!
My S.O. is a big "manly man" and with that comes smelling like a manly man. This works! and now even when he comes home from work he still smells great! Thank you Gillette!
Wash not only feels good but gives confidence in all day use. Highly recommend.

If you are serious about your photography, it's something you either would like a profession in, or it forms an important hobby in your life, then you truly need to consider structuring your life around it. This indicates that to come to be the best, or far better you need to work hard at it. Nothing in life comes without a price, and to improve yourself as a photographer, you have to continuously exercise it. So, if you have a Canon Rebel, take with you an extra SD card and a totally charged Canon LP-E8 battery, and out you go.
The things you can do to enhance yourself as a photographer are as follows:
1. Continue reading and teaching yourself
Continual research is among the keys to success. To begin with, it's a large benefit to comprehend the physics behind photography, exactly how the video camera works, the exposure triangle, composition and so on. This knowledge largely stems from books, so reviewing typically about photography is the first step.
2. Look at expert work
Although you ought to never ever contrast yourself to additional professional photographers, (after all, your style will certainly constantly be special), you should look typically at the work of top specialists. This can easily give you motivation, concepts and new perspectives and methods at considering things. You can then apply some of these ideas to your work.
3. Subscribe to journals or websites
Once more, promoting your education and learning with reading, journals, and more notably photography internet sites is a terrific means of keeping up with the current news in the photography world. Tips, ideas, new equipment releases, software and so on are all provided for you to take advantage of and apply to your work.
4. Provide yourself a project to do each week
This is a terrific means of applying what you have discovered to reality scenarios. By providing yourself weekly or regular monthly projects to do, you are practicing your art in a genuine means, and applying what you have found out. You can easily get ideas for these projects from the websites you check out or the magazines you read. Possibly some currently have projects for you to try yourself.
5. Carry your camera around with you
Ought to go without saying, however you must constantly carry a camera around with you, even if it's just a straightforward point and shoot. It's much better to have something instead of nothing at all.
6. Sign up with a club or obtain a network of fellow photographers
Being around like minded individuals is one of the fastest methods to improve your photography. Not just do you have a full assortment of experience and knowledge to draw from, but you also have people who can critique your work, and provide you guidance and new directions to follow. Furthermore, networking also provides you options for work or other things.
Above all, whenever you go out on a shoot, always make sure your battery is fully charged so you don't miss a shot. It's a really good concept to carry a spare with you, so if you have one of the Canon Rebel DSLR series, then a Canon LP-E8 will do you just fine.

The ultimate build for a Kensai/Mage?
How can one build the ultimate human Kensai/Mage?
...and I mean stats, when to dual (Kensai -> Mage), which spells to choose and which weapons to go after.. a complete guide for it all
Maybe some descriptions on when to do what in the game? (when to pick the ring of xxxx and so on)
This is the one that I've got so far:
CHR: 3 (going to pick up the Ring of Human influence)
What do you think?
Any help is appreciated
|Wed, 16th Apr '03, 4:29pm
Well, you are powergaming, so what are you doing with such lousy stats? With a little patience you can have 93-95 total points, which would give you 18, 18, 18, 18, 18, x (ring of human influence will bump this to 18 when visiting merchants). If you don't want to wait for the 93 + step, you can still have wisdom of 15 with a total of 90 points.
If you really want to powergame, run a fighter through BG1 & TOTSC after rolling the 93+ range and, with all of the tomes, you will be able to import a character (fighter) who can be a Kensai, with 161K exp and the following stats: 19, 19, 19, 19, 21, 4-6. (Remember that there are 3 tomes of wisdom in BG1.)
As for dualling, that is really dependent on how you are using the character and whether you expect to take him/her through TOB. Assuming just SOA (or you wouldn't have posted in this forum after reading the rules), you probably want to dual earlier to ramp up spellcasting power. Maybe 9th level after weapon proficiency bonus. If you wait until 13th level (I think that's when you get the next 1/2 attack per round), you are not going to have a great deal of time to bump up the mage part to reactivate the Kensai part. You didn't indicate if you are soloing, which would solve the experience problem but make you ripe for the picking when you dual class.
As for the "stuff" to get, it's too numerous to mention, depends on your money situation, depends on how you plan on playing the character, and is completely subjective with the exception of certain obvious choices for mages (robe of vecna, staff of the magi).
When building the character, you may want to take five stars in staff because of the staff of the magi, if that's your playing style.

I think that Kensai/Mage is an already souped-up class that doesn't really need any more powering.
But since you insist, just press Ctrl + 8. Sheesh. Is there no room for delayed gratification in this hedonistic world?

Thanks for the good advice dmc
I wanted to create a kensai/mage for both soloing and partying
As for weapons and alike I was going for Dak'kons Zerth Blade and some other sword..
C'Jakob.. Advice and stats, not opinions

Wait, kensai/mage? I thought kensai could only dual-class to a thief... at least thats all that showed up on my kensai when I dual classed him. Or is there a some requirement im missing? Hmm now that I think about it, if fighters can become mages, why cant kensai...
|Sun, 20th Apr '03, 4:56am
Mmm... hot tea!
Things depend on if you solo or not.
Kensai to level 9 (as long as you don't intend to continue with ToB), then dual to mage.
- Stats
Intelligence should be 18. Strength must be 15 or more to allow you to dual. I like to keep Wisdom at 18 as well, but it is irrelevant. Constitution and Dexterity can be kept low since you can keep those stats at 18 with items. Charisma at 3 is ok as well thanks to the ring you can get very early.
Assuming a total roll of 80, which is very easy to get, I'd arrange the stats like this:
Str 17 (you do well even without giant girdle)

You don't have to go with Katanas and if you do you don't need to go dual wielding. Actually I prefer Celestial Fury in the main hand and the Shield of Harmony in the off hand. If you still want to use a weapon in the off hand there are better options than Dak'kon's Zerth Blade, like Flail of the Ages and later the ultimate cheese: Crom Faeyr.

Wow - first post and it's a thread necromancy from 2003! And probably not really responsive in any event other than tangentially on the item of weapon choice.

You know, with new members like this, it's entirely possible that they have no idea that thread necromancy is sometimes considered bad etiquette. One of the drawbacks of Eternal September.
Then again, it happens enough around here that nobody chastises the person that I was genuinely starting to think it was acceptable. Not every place frowns on it, some actually prefer it.

Well, we're going far off topic. Thread necromancy is OK if the point is actually, you know, on point. IMO, this wasn't.

We've got this covered in our rules (#3) though we're usually even more lenient than it says there. I've got no problems with 10 year old threads being revived, as long as the response is on-topic and meaningful. Basically, if Anathema expanded on his comment it'd be fine... as it is though, it's just kind of a drive-by comment and it makes little sense to bring such an old thread back just for that.

I've got to review the rules. Especially if they've been updated since I joined all those years ago.

Personally I go with the Axe for the:
Axe of Unlielding
the +1 to AC is nice for the Kensai. then there's the regeneration and the vorpal action and the Constitution boost as well.
Does extra damage vs. undead and has the chance to destroy them if they fail a save. Possibly more importantly there's the missile weapon action for it as well.
On another note, why is it bad to dig up old posts? I would think it good so that the info already posted wouldn't have to be posted again.

Well, my thoughts on the matter are that in light of the popularity of XP cap removers, waiting until level 21 to pick up whirlwind would make an awesomely powerful character in the end. Yes, it would be difficult to slog through as a mage unable to don bracers for half the game, but upon reaching level 22 you'll be a heck of a powerful fighter/mage. I on the other hand usually create a new character in ToB, then dual either right after that first battle with Illasera. Usually at levels 18 or19.
On the other hand, using Shadowkeeper to change a Kensai to a multiclass kensai/mage would be far less frustrating and more fun, as well as not requiring an XP cap remover to be worthwhile.

more drive by necromancy
heya, i landed here via search as i just scratched the surface of soa.. then decided go back as kensai/mage dual. weapon proficiencies are such a commitment i'm lookin online for mechanics and character info but without plot spoilers.
1. proficiency advice (willing to reroll again, but i've started with 2pips to 2h sword and 2pips in 2h style)
i don't know or want to know what weapons i'll end up with in soa or tob.. but a good answer for me, would be what proficiencies not* to get to avoid serious regret later! e.g. i had chosen darts at first on this 'kensage' but rerolled shortly into the game suspecting i'd regret using pips on darts.
2. what should i accomplish in bg1 before exporting? (i've beaten bg1 once; spoil away)
could use info on finding those tomes to raise attributes? I'd hate to miss out on that.
3. i've never done multi-player, so for this character i've dumped wisdom down to 3. will that come back to haunt me?
thanks for answers to any/all/none or just a /nod that there's life here.

Well, looking at my answer from 11 years ago up this thread, I have the same types of questions for you.
Are you soloing the character or going with a party? Are you planning on playing the character as a fighter with mage tendencies or vice-versa? Answering these two questions will help me give you better answers to your overall questions. However, I'll take a stab.
1. If in a party, I like my mage types to be in the back mostly and firing spells and missile weapons. Thus, I would go for some sort of bow and a staff as lending themselves for distance. I suppose two handed swords are OK as well, but that would be a proficiency I would think appropriate for front liners. If this is going to be a warrior then I still would lean away from two handed swords because I think shields are important not only for AC bonuses but for additional things they can give you (don't want to spoiler this but there are plenty of shields that give additional benefits on top of straight protection in a fight). Even if I were not going with a shield, I would probably dual wield.
2. Ideally, you will finish it completely or almost so (you can't get all of the really useful tomes until late in the game). If you look at my first post above from April 16, 2003, you'll see that I advise that it is relatively easy to leave BG1 with 19/19/19/19/21/x in stats. Look in our BG1 section in the main site for guides. There are several that can tell you where to find all of the tomes.
3. Not sure what you mean. Multi-player involves creating at least two characters for your party, rather than starting with just the one and adding (or not) the NPCs offered by the game. If you meant multi-class, you're actually mistaken in that this is a dual-class build. They are actually rather different. Multi-class characters cannot be human and start with at least two operative classes. The character splits experience between the two or three classes all the way and they never stop increasing unless you hit the experience cap (which most people disable these days). They have snazzy benefits but tend to level up slowly in the beginning and early mid game.
Dual class characters, however, must be human. They start life as one class and then convert to another at some point. At that point their first class goes inoperative and they level up the second class starting from level one. The initial class does not reactivate until the second class exceeds the first class by one level, at which point both classes become active but the character only advances in the second class and all experience goes to that advancement only. There are stat requirements for that greater than just starting a character ready for either class, but you are going to make sure strength and intelligence are 18 so that doesn't matter. Also, dual classing has the benefit of legally having a kit on your first class (here Kensai for the fighter class). Multi-class characters cannot have a kit on either class the way the game is written (although you can easily edit one in if you feel like it). There are other pluses and minuses that I can get into if you want.
So, in any of the above scenarios, there really is no downside to having a wisdom of 3 except for what it will do to your lore skill and a couple of spells that look at your wisdom once you cast them. The game does not implement negative wisdom issues found in pen and paper D&D.
That being said, there's no reason at all to have a wisdom that low. Your dump stat if you are powergaming a character of this nature (and it really lends itself entirely to powergaming anyway) is charisma. You can spend 10 minutes rerolling and I guaranty you will be able to make a character with 18/18/18/18 and at least 15/3 on wisdom and charisma (and with a little more patience, 18/3 or better), so I fail to see the point.
Welcome to the boards. If you post answers to my questions, I will be able to give you further answers in line with your goals. (Unless someone else comes and does it first.)

firstly, thanks.
i'll go dual wield afterall. i guess doubling your attacks per round would outweigh the lowered dmg, and crappy offhand thac0. especially to interrupt a nasty spell, and chew thru enemy skins/reflections!
my goal* is to use her as big melee damage with some fast activated defenses like stoneskin and mirror image. as well as magic dmg in case melee is less than effective or just to damage from the back and avoid nasty ae's. i don't plan on sending her in first usually.
i'm going dual, not multi-class. (probably at 9/10 because i'm not patient enough to wait til 13/14).
Which mage spells check your wisdom? hope they're good! cuz im bout to spend the time getting higher wisdom. hehe
_kill'em before they kill you.
|Wed, 23rd Apr '14, 7:15am
Wish spells check wisdom. Plus it's useful for lore.
Dual wield does not double your attacks. It adds one for the off hand. The point is both to add some extra damage and to benefit from the off hand weapon's other features (again, not giving you info on the abilities of specific weapons here).
If your goal is to be fighter with mage benefits, you want to dual at 9 (for the extra weapon pip) or 13 (for the extra half attack per round). I see very little benefit to doing anything else. If you want to be a mage with some fighter benefits, you dual at 7 or 9.
Remember that you should not overlap weapon pips between the classes because you lose the lesser of the total -- i.e., when you reactivate the first class, the game does not give you the total of the weapon pips in a particular weapon type, it gives your the higher of the two, so you always want to make sure that the lower number is zero. (That means don't take quarterstaff pips as a fighter and then add them as a mage. I personally like the staffs available in the game, but mainly for a mage focus rather than a fighter focus.)
Although you did not answer directly, I am assuming that you are going with a party. In that case, I would recommend dualling at level 9 because the experience is split between party members and it takes a good, long while to level up to mage 14 after Kensai 13 if you are sharing experience points.

You, or someone else, need to come up with at least two PC characters to be in a multi-player game. You can make all six yourself if you want, start a multi-player game and add them all in and run the game. You lose out on the Bioware NPC's and their quests and interactions, but you sure can do it.
You can also run a true multi-player through some network with you and one or more other people adding in the PC's and also taking NPC's as well as long as you have open slots in the party.

my original wisdom concern was that i'd annoy other players by needing absolutely everything identified for me.
hah, i finally rolled a total of 90 (enough for 15 wis). but the strength was only 18/22. costing me thac0... so i settled for less wis to have 18/98 strength and get on with the game.
EDIT: in hindsight; shoulda took the 15 wis regardless of strength. tome of strength takes you to 19 either way! (d'oh)
now she's dual wielding scimitars: nabbed wakizashi +1 and rashad talon early on. /drool. choppin up sword spiders before they can even touch my jaheira (-8 ac to missiles made the bandit camp a cakewalk, even at level 2)

Install a newer version release (i.e. RU7) for Windows 7 64-bit
Hi gurus,
I'm trying to work out something that will allow me to install Symantec EPP v11.0 on Windows 7 64-bit version and communicate well with the manager installed on the server (Windows 2003). We are currently using EPP on Windows XP and 7 32-bit clients with little issues. We're rolling out some new PC's with 8GB RAM thus Windows 64-bit is inevitable. We have a 32-bit installation package but none yet so far for 64-bit. As this is yet on initial stage, I'm trying out several options.
One of this is by installing the client as unmanaged and later convert it to managed version by importing the correct Sylink file. I tried it on releases RU2, RU4 and RU7 with some success. The clients can get updates and access to the interface is password-secured. The only issue is that the 'Disable Endpoint Protection' is enabled to the user. We've got this option disabled on the server.
I'll appreciate your insigths on this issue.

with unmanaged client, user can disable. Once the client is convereted into managed, you can configure the settings for users not to disable.Use the latest version of SEP i.e. SEP 11 RU 7 MP1 or SEP 12.1 RU1.

Mas and Junqueras open to civil society listThe President of the Catalan Government, Artur Mas, said Wednesday that his June proposal for civil society groups to lead a unitary electoral list "does not at all break" the pact made in January between the CDC and ERC to run separately in the 27-S elections. The leader of the centre-right CDC argued that if civil society groups accept his proposal, civil society "won´t just invite the CDC and Mr. Mas" but "whomever they want" because the list would be "transversal". After Mas made these comments, the President of the centre-left ERC said if civil society groups drafted an electoral list excluding politicians altogether, the ERC would be the "first to accept" their proposal, as long as other independence parties also decide not to run for election. "We will never be an obstacle", Junqueras remarked.
Catalonia leads unemployment reduction in SpainCatalonia was last month again the Spanish Autonomous Community with the most intense monthly and annual decline in registered unemployment, official data released on Thursday show. According to the Spanish Ministry of Employment and Social Security, by the end of June 2015 there were 20,952 fewer people registered with the Catalan Public Employment Service (SOC) in comparison to May 2015, leaving the total number of registered unemployed individuals at 510,947. This drop is, in absolute terms, the lowest recorded for the month of June in the last 3 years. However, in relative terms, registered unemployment fell by -3.94%, the biggest decline for the month of June in 19 years. Compared to a year ago, the number of jobseekers decreased by 59,267 (-10.39%), thus marking a two-year period of consecutive annual decline in registered unemployment.

Wal-Mart to open after 2-decade battleOctober 14,2013THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. ALBANS Twenty years after first getting town approval, a Wal-Mart store is finally opening iN St. Albans.
Wal-Mart first got town approval to build a store in 1993. But the project never got off the ground after the Vermont Natural Resources Council and others successfully blocked the store from opening, causing Wal-Mart to give up the fight in 1997.
When local landowners wanted to rekindle the project in 2004, Wal-Mart said go ahead but at their own expense.
The project again faced opposition from the Vermont Natural Resources Council, but this time the Vermont Supreme Court sided with Wal-Mart.
The new 146,000-square-foot store is set to open at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The transfer of 280 Vermont prison inmates from a private prison in Kentucky to one ...

More Marlantes: "Barton told a group of reporters off-camera that 'profit's not a bad word,' and that many of these oil execs are his 'friends,' but when companies are fortunate enough to be making big profits, they have an obligation to reinvest in things like pipelines, refineries, etc, rather than 'stock buyback plans.' He also said that he planned to hold 'the most comprehensive set of hearings that have ever been held' over the next 6 weeks."
There's new momentum in Congress behind raising CAFE standards, even among previously resistant lawmakers, reports the Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin. LINK
Brian DuBose of the Washington Times reports on the failed attempt in the House to increase oil refinery capacity in the United States. LINK
Though House lawmakers approved a measure to beef up penalties on price gouging, experts say it will do little -- if anything at all -- to change prices at the pump, reports William Neikirk of the Chicago Tribune. LINK
Under the Banner "Gas, oil giants aid Santorum," Borys Krawczeniuk of the Scranton Times-Tribune takes a look at how "as gasoline prices skyrocket, the oil and natural gas industries have been busy pumping cash into the campaigns of congressional incumbents up for re-election" and Notes that "the industries contributed more than $7.2 million last year to congressional campaigns, with Republicans receiving more than five times as much as Democrats." LINK
Lobbying reform:
The Washington Post's Jeffrey Birnbaum contrasts the promises made with the actual measures in the lobbying reform bills passed by the House and Senate and concludes "neither version is as tough on lobbyists and lawmakers as Republican leaders promised in January, after former GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe public officials in a major political corruption scandal." LINK
Birnbaum also provides an excellent primer on which portions of the final law could have different rules for the House and Senate and which provisions must be the same for both chambers.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the ethics measure passed narrowly by the House preserves some of the most talked-about perks, including corporate jet travel. Now the House will try and reconcile the bill with the more aggressive version the Senate passed.

I'm not saying Adams invented a genre - rather he collaboratively (with Weston, Cunningham, et al) gave birth and name to a style and a philosophy of photography, which was a direct response to and reaction against Pictorialism (which both Weston and Adams were practitioners of in their early careers).

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Demuths
by Vegmers
Review: My husband and I had dinner at Demuths with a friend. We invited our friend at the last minute and the restaurant was more than happy to accommodate an extra person at our table. The food was excellent (lots of vegan options), and the service was friendly. The server was able to answer questions and was present without ever making us feel rushed or that he was hovering. We enjoyed a leisurely meal and would return if we find ourselves in Bath again.

So I ask fellow Reds fans, would a deal involving Homer Bailey and say Josh Roenicke for Magglio Ordonez work for both teams? The following was taken from Buster Olney's blog:
Thoughts about teams not playing in Fall Classic
Wednesday, October 22, 2008 | Feedback | Print Entry
There are two teams in the World Series, and 28 teams already preparing for 2009. Some pieces from the rest of the baseball landscape:
The Detroit Tigers will have the tricky task of trying to improve their team at the same time that they are shaving payroll, and at the same time that other teams don't see a lot of value in the Tigers' farm system other than young pitcher Rick Porcello (who the Tigers won't trade).
The Tigers could theoretically dangle Magglio Ordonez in trade talks in an effort to get pitching, coming off a year in which Ordonez batted .321 with 21 homers and 103 RBIs. But Ordonez is due to make $18 million next year, and he will turn 35 in January at a time when the industry has become extraordinarily skeptical about the ability of players to consistently produce into their late 30s.

What Is a Unicorn?
What Is a Unicorn?
By Diana Cooper
Unicorns are considered mythical, magical creatures, though some believe that they did in fact once roam the earth. Unicorns appear in folk tales from around the world and are often depicted as beautiful, mysterious white horses with a single horn on the forehead. In many paintings and popular culture they are portrayed with wings. Unicorns are considered virtuous and it is believed that they appear only to those with pure hearts or to those on a mission for good. Unicorns grant wishes and carry qualities of love, peace, calm, gentleness, hope, majesty and caring. Unicorns work at the soul level by helping to fulfill life's purpose.
Start here to find out more about how to meet a unicorn.
