Stonehenge at Sunset
Taking a day trip from London to Salisbury is easy and highly popular. The city not only has several attractions of its own, including Salisbury Cathedral, it is also the most popular way of visiting Stonehenge.
It is possible to take a guided coach tour of Salisbury and Stonehenge from London, but if you prefer to travel independently then making the journey to Salisbury and from there to Stonehenge (which is about ten miles north of the city) is the best thing to do.
You can drive to Salisbury from central London in about two hours, if you've hired a rental car for your trip, but if you have no car then rail is the best option as it is only about 90 minutes by fast train direct to Salisbury from London. There are a few buses a day but they are infrequent and the journey time and departure times don't make it a convenient way for visiting Salisbury.
The Best Things to Do in Salisbury
The Best Things to Do in Salisbury include visiting the 13th-century Salisbury Cathedral, which has the tallest spire in the UK, the Parish Church of St Thomas, much of which dates from the 15th century, the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, and Mompesson House, built in 1701 and used in the 1995 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

We had a great time here. The food is good. This place truly makes you forget that you are in Geneva.
Great evening here with friends. The food is delicious and authentic. We had a great table in the beautiful garden and were very happy to watch the dancers through the night. Pricey though but to be expected!
Na Village is close to two very busy Geneva streets yet it is a haven of peace once you walk through the entry. There are two main buildings and a stream runs between them. Although the garden is quite narrow there are several private authentic Thai small group tables in a variety of places - perfect for the summer months....
We really enjoy taking a time out in the garden pavilions every other month. The food is outstanding and the interior is actually brought in from Thailand! Recommendable for couples, friends, even business. Watch out: No cards accepted - they will warn you though when making your much needed reservation some days in advance.
The restaurant has a beautiful setting. Very polite staff.
The food is quite authentic. The pad thai is arguably the closest to the real deal we had in Bangkok.
We are not entirety sure about the parsley decorations with all the dishes though. The mocktails are so so.
Mid-meal entertainment is a surprise.
On walking in to Na Village you start to forget you are in Geneva, it's a real change into a pretty authentic Thai house and garden, even with small rivers running through. Great Thai food and good service with dancing as well. Would recommend for a business, romantic or celebration dinner. Will definitely come back!
Great food, consistent quality. Service with a smile, competitive pricing (for GVA, not cheap but not extravagant).
Great starters, good curry and variety. Go for the menu as it gives you multiple options to try.
we went to this place a couple of times. It is very pleasant atmosphere, traditionally decorated inside and with a nice garden outside for the summer. Food is nice and their menu is a journey through different starters (amazing) and different curries (some exceptional, like the duck and the light curry beef), some more average, but overall a very nice...
I regularly come here for lunch on weekdays, often with colleagues but also with business guests. The daily menu is very good quality for the price, the vegetables are delicious and sauces tasty.
The staff is friendly and it's rather quick even on busy days.
I went here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary recently. Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly service. The only thing I'm curious about is given they only accept cash why don't they put their menu on the website? Due to this, we were expecting some massive financial shock when we came to pay but it was fine. To be...

Source: F4WOnline- Vince McMahon is now scheduled to be back on WWE TV right after WrestleMania XXX is over. This should be taken for what it's worth as Vince has been rumored to return for months now. WWE has started referring to Stephanie McMahon as "Principal Owner of WWE" once again. That was the terminology originally used to set up Vince's return.
- We noted before that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were being planned to be pushed as the #1 and #2 guys in WWE coming out of WrestleMania XXX. Cesaro will also be pushed big time and is being planned for a big match at SummerSlam. Other names to be pushed hard after WrestleMania include Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Batista, Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman and Randy Orton.

h/t: Namaste_ish
Who do you select when listing potential reviewers for your manuscripts?
I go for suggestions that I think will be favorably inclined toward acceptance. This may be primarily because they work on similar stuff (otherwise they aren't going to be engaged at all) but also because I think* they are favorable towards my laboratory.
Of course.
(I have also taken to making sure I suggest at least 50% women but that is a different matter.)
I wouldn't suggest anyone that violates the clearest statement of automatic COI that pertains to me, i.e. the NIH grant review 3-year window of collaboration.
Where do you get your standards?
*I could always be wrong of course
The life of the academic scientist includes responding to criticism of their ideas, experimental techniques and results, interpretations and theoretical orientations*.
This comes up pointedly and formally in the submission of manuscripts for potential publication and in the submission of grant applications for potential funding.
There is an original submission, a return of detailed critical comments and an opportunity to respond to those critiques with revisions to the manuscript / grant application and/or argumentative rebuttal.
As I have said repeatedly in this forum, one of my most formative scientific mentors told me that you should take each and every comment seriously. Consider what is being said, why it is being said and try to respond accordingly. This mentor told me that I would usually find that by considering even the most idiotic seeming comments seriously, the manuscript (or grant application) is improved.
I have found this to be a universal truth of my professional work.
My understanding of what I was told by my mentor, versus what I have filled in additionally in my similar comments to my own trainees is now very fuzzy. I cannot remember exactly how extensively this mentor stamped down what is now my current understanding. For example, it is helpful to me to consider that Reviewer #3 represents about 33% of peers instead of thinking of this person as the rare outlier. I think that one may be my own formulation. Regardless of the relative contributions of my mentor versus my lived experience, it is all REALLY valuable advice that I have internalized.
The paper and grant review process is not there, by any means, to prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt** that the reviewer's position is correct and you are wrong. A reviewer that provides citations for a criticism is not by any means the majority of my experience...although you will see this occasionally. Even there, you could always engage cited statements from an antagonistic default setting. This is unwise.
The upshot of this critique-not-proof system means that as a professional, you have to be able to argue against yourself in proxy for the reviewer. This is why I say you need to consider each comment thoughtfully and try to imagine where it is coming from and what the person is really saying to you. Assume that they are acting in good faith instead of reflexively jumping behind paranoid suspicions that they are just out to get you for nefarious purposes.
This helps you to critically evaluate your own product.
Ultimately, you are the one that knows your product best, so you are the one in position to most thoroughly locate the flaws. In a lot of ways, nobody else can do that for you.
Professionalism demands that you do so.
*Not an exhaustive list.
**colloquially, they are leading you to water, not forcing you to drink.
Every aspect of human endeavor that involves teaching newcomers how to do something involves both didactic and practical experiences.
That is just the way it works.
Grant review is one of those things. Formal instruction only gets the job partially done. More learning takes place in the doing.
I just can't understand what is valuable about showing that a 1%ile difference in voted score leads to 2% difference in total citations of papers attributed to that grant award. All discussions of whether NIH peer review is working or broken center on the supposed failure to fund meritorious grants and the alleged funding of non-meritorious grants.
Please show me one PI that is upset that her 4%ile funded grant really deserved a 2%ile and that shows that peer review is horribly broken.
The real issue, how a grant overlooked by the system would fare *were it to be funded* is actually addressed to some extent by the graph on citations to clearly outlying grants funded by exception.
This is cast as Program rescuing those rare exception brilliant proposal. But again, how do we know the ones that Program fails to rescue wouldn't have performed well?
Two years after your paper is published in Journal of SocietyB send the citation report showing that it quadrupled the JIF of the JournalA that rejected it to the rejecting Editor.
Let's make this a thing, people.
Yesterday's review of the research publications of a person who had written about closing down his lab due to lack of funding in this "unfair" grant award environment touched a nerve on at least one Reader. I assume it was uncomfortable for many of you to read.
It was uncomfortable for me to write.
You can tell because I felt compelled to slip in the odd caveat about my own record. I can write one of those reviews about my own career that would be equally, if not more, critical and uncomfortable.
No doubt more than one of you got the feeling that if I wrote a similar review of your record you would come up wanting ...or at least PhysioProffe would jump in to tell you how shitasse you are*. Certainly at least one correspondent expressed this feeling.
But that tinge of anxiety, fear and possibly shame that you feel should tell you that it is a good idea to perform this little review of yourself now and again. Good to try to step outside of your usual excuses to yourself and see how your CV looks to the dispassionate observer who doesn't know anything about your career other than the publication and NIH-award (or other grants, as relevant) record.
Do you have obvious weaknesses? Too few publications? Too few first/last author (as appropriate). Too few collaborations? Insufficiently high Journal Impact Factor points? Etc.
What is all of this going to say to grant reviewers, hiring committees or promotions committees?
Then, this allows you to do something about it. You can't change the past but you can alter the course of your future.
In some situations, like crafting the NIH Biosketch Personal Statement, you do actually have the opportunity to alter the past....not the reality but certainly the perception of it. So that is another place where the review of your CV helps. That voice of excuse-making that arises? Leverage that. You DO have reasons for certain weaknesses and perhaps other features of your CV help to overcome that if they are just pointed out properly.
*he wouldn't, btw.
In his latest column at ASBMB Today, Steve McKnight attempts to further his assertion that peer review of NIH grants needs to be revamped so that more qualified reviewers are doing the deciding about what gets funded.
He starts off with a comment that further reveals his naivete and noobitude when it comes to these issues.
Reviewers judge the application using five criteria: significance, investigator, innovation, approach and environment. Although study sections may weigh the importance of these criteria to differing degrees, it seems to me that feasibility of success of the proposed research plan (approach) tends to dominate. I will endeavor to provide a quantitative assessment of this in next month's essay.
The NIH, led by then-NIGMS Director Berg, already provided this assessment. Ages ago. Try to keep up. I mention this because it is becoming an obvious trend that McKnight (and, keep in mind, many of his co-travelers that don't reveal their ignorance quite so publicly) spouts off his ill-informed opinions without the benefit of the data that you, Dear Reader, have been grappling with for several years now .
As reported last month, 72 percent of reviewers serving the HHMI are members of the National Academy of Sciences. How do things compare at the NIH? Data kindly provided by the CSR indicate that there were 7,886 reviewers on its standing study sections in 2014. Evaluation of these data reveals the following:
48 out of 324 HHMI investigators (15 percent) participated in at least one study section meeting.
47 out of 488 NIH-funded NAS members (10 percent) participated in at least one study section meeting.
11 of these reviewers are both funded by HHMI and NAS members.
These 84 scientists constituted roughly 1.1 percent of the reviewer cadre utilized by the CSR.
This tells us nearly nothing of importance. How many investigators from other pertinent slices of the distribution serve? ASBMB members, for example? PIs from the top 20, 50, 100 funded Universities and Medical Schools? How many applications do NAS / HHMI investigators submit each year? In short, are they over- or under-represented in the NIH review system?
Anyway, why focus on these folks?
I have focused on the HHMI investigators and NAS members because it is straightforward to identify them and quantify their participation in the review process. It is my belief that HHMI investigators and NIH-funded members of the NAS are substantively accomplished. I readily admit that scientific accomplishment does not necessarily equate to effective capacity to review. I do, however, believe that a reasonable correlation exists between past scientific accomplishment and capacity to choose effectively between good and poor bets. This contention is open for debate and is — to me — of significant importance.
So confused. First, the supposed rationale that these elite scientists are readily discernible folks amongst a host of well qualified so that's why he has used them for his example, aka the Street Lamp excuse. Next we get a ready admission that his entire thesis he's been pursuing since the riff-raff column is flawed, followed immediately by a restatement of his position based on..."belief". While admitting it is open to debate.
So how has he moved the discussion forward? All that we have at this point is his continued assertion of his position. The data on study section participation do exactly nothing to address his point.
Third, it is clear that HHMI investigators and NIH-funded members of the NAS participate in study sections charged with the review of basic research to a far greater extent than clinical research. It is my belief that study sections involving HHMI investigators and NAS members benefit from the involvement of highly accomplished scientists. If that is correct, the quality of certain basic science study sections may be high.
Without additional information this could be an entirely circular argument. If HHMI and NAS folks are selected disproportionally for their pursuit of basic science (I believe they are, Professor McKnight. Shall you accept my "belief" as we are expected to credit yours? or perhaps should you have looked into this?) they of course they would be disproportioanlly on "basic" study sections. If only there were a clinically focused organization of elite good-old-backslappers-club folks to provide a suitable comparison of more clinically-focused scientists.
McKnight closes with this:
I assume that it is a common desire of our biomedical community that all sources of funding, be they private or public, find their way to the support of our most qualified scientists — irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity, geographical location or any other variable. In subsequent essays, I will offer ideas as to how the NIH system of grant award distribution might be altered to meet this goal.
Nope. We want the funding to go to the most important science. Within those constraints we want the funding to go to highly qualified scientists but we recognize that "the most qualified" is a fool's errand. Other factors come in to play. Such as "the most qualified who are not overloaded with other research projects at the moment". Or, "the most qualified who are not essentially carbon copies of the three other folks funded in similar research at the moment".
This is even before we get into the very thorny argument over qualifications and how we identify the "most" qualified for any particular purpose.
McKnight himself admits to this when he claims that there are lots of other qualified people but he selected HHMI/NAS out of mere convenience. I wonder if it will eventually trickle into his understanding that this mere convenience pollutes his entire thinking on this matter?

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is sending investigators to yesterday's fatal motorcoach accident in Oregon. As part of this investigation, the NTSB will be looking at issues related to why the motorcoach left the roadway, the condition of the roadway, the highway barrier and the operations of the motor carrier. Bus safety is on the NTSB's 2013 Most Wanted List.About 10:30 a.m. PST on Dec. 30, a 1998 Prevost motorcoach, operated by British Columbia-based Mi Joo Tour & Travel, was traveling westbound on Interstate 84, near Pendleton, in Umatilla County, Ore. The motorcoach, which was en route from Las Vegas, to Vancouver, British Columbia, was carrying about 40 passengers. When the motorcoach was in the vicinity of mile marker 227 it departed the roadway, went down an embankment, rolled over at least once, and came to rest upright at the bottom of the slope. As a result of the crash nine of the vehicle's occupants received fatal injuries. The driver and an additional 26 passengers were transported to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries.Pete Kotowski will serve as the Investigator-in-Charge.For reporting from the AP and ABC News, click here.
Coaches include the latest safety technology, including electronic stability control, a new ZF independent front suspension for a superb turning radius and ride quality, and a Bendix braking system that delivers car-like control for drivers.
The acquisition will enable the family-owned, 40-year-old transportation services company to expand its industry-leading commuter bus services beyond the Bay Area to markets across the country.
The UMA is continuing its partnership with BusCon by sponsoring two informative sessions on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 28 — Social Media Mastery for Motorcoach Operators and Alcohol - What is Your Liability?

As I suggested in this Sept. 9 Philadelphia Inquirer story, FMC Corp. has agreed to move its headquarters from 1745 Market St. in Center City into the new tower that Brandywine Realty Trust has been trying to build, NE corner of 30th and Walnut Sts. in University City, for the past 5 years. The $341 million FMC Tower will rise 47 stories -- 650 feet -- and include 575,000 sq ft of offices, 10,000 sq ft of retail -- plus 260 apartments. Adjoins a 2,000-space parking garage built by Brandywine that also serves IRS workers at Brandywine's former 30th St post office nearby.
FMC will move its headquarters staff -- currently 546 bosses and workers -- to the new tower by June 2016, spokesman Jim Fitzwater told me. FMC will lease 253,000 sq ft for 16 years; the University of Pennsylvania will rent another 100,000 sq ft on four floors for 20 years.
Philadelphia beat competing sites in New Jersey and Delaware to keep the headquarters, sweetened by $10 million in Pennsylvania taxpayer incentives, including: $3 million in Pennsylvania First grants, $2 million in Pennsylvania Economic Growth Initiative money, and $5 million from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). "It's in a Keystone Opportunity Incentive Zone, but we won't pursue those benefits," Fitzwater told me. Instead the company is opting for the up-front cash. Brandywine had arranged state and city 10-year Keystone zone tax breaks on the city's Use and Occupancy and real estate taxes and other levies at the site back in 2008, before a previous tenant proposal fell through.
FMC is a specialty chemical company with global operations and clients. The company's products include pesticides, food and drug additives, pesticides, lithium, and soda ash for glass and detergent.

Katy Perry Signs Divorce Settlement Papers…With A Smiley Face!
[photogallerylink id=71440 align=left]Radar Online is reporting that Katy Perry has signed her divorce settlement documents from Russell Brand, and she did it all by adding a smiley face next to her signature!
The court documents stated:
The parties have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party.
Since there was no pre-nup put into place when they were married, Brand could be entitled spousal support should he choose but the documents indicate that it would not be requested.
If you're a legal doc junkie and want to see the papers, click here. Just don't let the name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (it's Katy Perry's real name!) fool you.

Kings Discuss Their Problems

Comments (0)
from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
The Kings are all talked out after rehashing their 8-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings moments after the game, while the stench was fresh, and again before they practiced Sunday.
They hope venting their frustrations will free them to have a better performance Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs in interim Coach John Stevens' finale before Darryl Sutter takes the reins.
Center Anze Kopitar said alternate captain Matt Greene led the outpouring of anger Saturday.
"He stepped up and said a couple words. 'We can't do this anymore,' " Kopitar said. "He started talking and everybody listened. Everybody cares and understands that this is not the way to go."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis issued the following statement on the November 2012 Employment Situation report released today:
Our nation added 146,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in November, while the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, its lowest level since December 2008.
"November's jobs report means we've now seen 33 straight months of private sector job growth totaling nearly 5.6 million jobs. This year, we've created an average of 154,000 private sector jobs a month.
"Job gains were reported last month in nearly every hiring category. Hiring in the business and professional services sector is back to its pre-recession peak. Consumer confidence is high, and Americans are shopping again. Last month retailers added 53,000 jobs in anticipation of increased holiday sales.
"While Hurricane Sandy did not affect the unemployment rate, it did result in 1.5 million Americans experiencing some sort of disruption in employment. Families have lost their homes and possessions, and communities have lost businesses and public infrastructure. It's more critical than ever for America to rebuild. Hurricane Sandy underscores the need to repair our crumbling infrastructure and why it's so important for Congress to act on President Obama's plan to create a national infrastructure bank and put our construction workers back on the job.
"There's more work to be done, but our economic recovery remains on the right trajectory. More than ever, the American people need Washington to work for them and offer solutions. The last thing we can afford is to raise taxes on the middle class at a time when their spending is helping to drive the job gains of this recovery. It's time to govern, and for every member of Congress to find common ground and cooperate to solve our nation's fiscal and economic challenges."

Here is the rank and file soldier of a sorcerer clan the group will face. The bloodline for this clan is a variant of celestial, elemental, and fiendish.
And here is one of the BBEGs to round up our chapter for 12th level. Once he's released from his magical prison, the PCs will find him supported by two of the slave-liches above, and 8 of the eternal warriors who make up his personal guard.
Here are some more servants to an upcoming BBEG. They are slaves who have been forced to transform into liches, and serve and evil temple.
Thanks for all the input. Looks like I need to check out / purchase Unchained sooner rather than later. I also missed some of those threads when I did my search.
Another alternate to #1 was to reduce the number of extra attacks to the levels listed in 5e, so martials would only see 3 extra attacks in their progression, but I'll check out Unchained first.
I normally wouldn't mind playing around with something like this, but this particular campaign has been going very well, and everyone has expressed interest in continuing to 20th, so I don't want to throw rules experiments in either.
I debated on where to post this, and thought it most appropriate to place it here as I'm interested in how others think this may fit with the existing PF rules.
Some friends were telling me about 5e and I'm thinking of house-ruling a couple items.
1. All iterative attacks are just full attacks. In other words, once a PC has gained an iterative attack, use your full attack bonus rather than -5 on the 2nd attack.
I'm not a fan of house rules, but I'd like this attempt at simplifying the math while adding some dynamics to combat as our group goes into 12th level and beyond.
Here's a bad guy that I think will give my PCs a very rough time (all good alignment, 3 clerics). This unholy warrior will be accompanied by some of the rogues listed above.
If you wish to go more loosely, just plan 4 to 5 encounters as I mentioned above that are CR appropriate. Use those as a group of encounters that would probably be confronted before a rest period is available (roughly). Obviously, this will vary by group. Figure out a period of game time that seems to be agreeable to your players and yourself for when leveling up seems appropriate. My games are more combat focused so we tend to complete 3 or 4 encounter groups (12 CR appropriate encounters) in one four hour session. As such we tend to level up 2nd or 3rd gaming session.
Interestingly enough, I'm retooling an old campaign that I built myself. While I tend to use milestones as well, I still like to calculate the XP for each encounter and have a running total.
Basically, I have a big Excel spreadsheet with a worksheet for every 2 or 3 levels. I split it into chapters like an AP, but whatever works best for you will do. I also use the Slow XP chart. This way if the PCs skip something, or bypass a few encounters, I don't really sweat it. The players tend to level up every other gaming session (or third session), and it seems to be going well.
Yes, compiling Excel spreadsheets on encounters and treasure tables is what I call fun and relaxing.
So for example, if in Chapter 1, I want to go from Level 1 to Level 3, that is 7,500 XP on the slow path per PC, which is 30,000 total XP. I'll then list out columns for Encounter Name, XP, # of encounters (may have more than one orc after all), and total XP. When the total XP is at 30,000, I then plan encounter groups. For example, the PCs may need to overcome an orc outpost. That may consist of 4-5 appropriate encounters. I try to stick to 4-5 because if the PCs mess up and the whole complex comes down on their heads then they have an epic but survivable (barely) encounter.
I also make another Excel sheet for treasure and in a similar manner, calculate the total I want to give and split accordingly among types of treasure.
I'll stop before this gets much longer, but I hope this is helpful.
Thanks for all of the replies. I don't see the Inquisitor very much at my table, so I wasn't aware of the options there.
I don't really have a problem with granting FE Arcane Caster to my home campaign but I do like to make sure I'm sticking to the rules as much as possible (ie minimum house rules). However, I this sect is rare and rather fanatical so they aren't well represented in my world. As a counter balance, there is also a group that is extremely opposed to the "immortals" and their divine servants, who have similar powers.
Is there such a thing out there somewhere?
In my homebrew, I have a group that specializes in hunting down arcane casters, basically a religious sect that sees all magic that comes from a source other than divine as heretical. None of the PCs have this ability, but they'll be running into some of their fanatics soon. Just thought I'd check to see if one of the various supplement books has come out with something like this that I missed. I don't think I've missed it, but just in case . . .
Other than that, they have the Inquisitor feat from the Nyambe campaign setting.
It's been a while, but it took us a while to catch up in-game. Here's a homebrew race.
I ran a similar group through Second Darkness. I was hesitant at first as well, but they ended up steam rolling through most encounters.
On one hand, I was surprised how quickly they chewed through encounters, but that AP also seemed to have quite a few week fights (if I recall correctly)
Armageddon Echo spoiler:
We even had the flying invisible wizard move from theory to actual game play. However as someone pointed out earlier the APs don't always optimize enemy tactics or lairs.
The wizard at the end received reports of an enemy force fighting their way to his position. He gathered his allies including the dragon for a great show down, I even cheated an enlarged some rooms to give more maneuverability. The dragon and minions went down fast. A few people dropped, but eventually, the wizard just ran out of spells after eluding the remaining PCs.
But unless you are going to add scrolls and wands to the AP enemies as written just to screw over the PCs, the AP enemies won't likely be spamming them with fireballs.
It has been a long time since I ran RotRL, but I'd suggest reviewing everything just to make sure there isn't some point where they can only move forward with a caster. For example, I can't recall if you need a caster to get into a certain forgotten laboratory.
In addition, the AP does a pretty good job of letting the PCs know that they may be facing wizards. They should have plenty of time to gear themselves accordingly.
I noticed a few errors which have been corrected, such as HP on one of the harpy leaders. I'm still filling out some of the support troops for the harpy - centaur forces.
Harpy Sorcerer
Elite Centaur Shock Trooper. Only slightly different from the longspearman.
I'm rebooting an old campaign for a new group, and I thought I'd share the updated stat blocks for comments and suggestions.
Here is a Centaur War Priest, who is leading a war party into territory protected by the PCs.
I'd love to know how this turns out if you don't mind posting how the game goes. I'm in the process of re-booting a campaign that went on hold at 19th level, and may see what I can plan for a few mythic tiers. At the moment, I'm leaning toward having PC levels = Mythic Tiers for estimating CR.
Legacy of Fire spoilers:
Once the PCs have access to several wishes and powerful magic, some of the existing encounters aren't much of a threat. For example, by the time they entered the final dungeon, the whole group was flying and invisible all the time. In that entire dungeon, there are only two enemies who have the ability to see invis; the Erinyes, and the BBEG.
I went off script a bit by having BBEG move his harem into the final room with him as he was watching the PCs mow over his minions. I also ignored the suggested tactics. So the PCs entered the final room to find, several Erinyes archers spaced about the large room, and BBEG who was itching to get in full attacks. It was an epic arial fight over the lava flow, but some poor tactics led to a TPK.
I'd love to play or DM a Paladin in this scenario.
You do need to make clear what will make the Paladin fall. For example, I wouldn't rule that any of the actions so far would warrant a fall in one of my games. As long as he is pursuing a conversion or redemption of the antipaladin, this plotline can be a lot of fun.
I also don't agree with screwing over the paladin either. For my tastes, I'd pursue scenarios where the paladin has to thwart her plans, and may even have to fight her, but he's fighting non-lethal, and she's outright trying to kill him.
IF he is able to turn her to the path of righteousness, the conflicts do not end either. Her former allies may not take such an act kindly, or may want to stop her from revealing more secrets. They may send high level assassins to wipe out such an embarrassment.
The BBEG may also have loved ones or items that are important to the anti-paladin to ensure her loyalty. If she were to betray him, a loved one may be targeted for death as well. So before she can leave her current organization, the paladin would need to secure the safety of such loved ones.

Something that irritates the snot out of me is this idea that a dragon's horde is just it's triple standard treasure. Such does not a horde make. It's triple treasure is probably just what it has on it at most times, because a dragon's "horde" should definitely be its own adventure and significantly more than than simply equivalent to killing three common enemies or 1.5 NPC-classed enemies.
I think I'm with you, but just to be sure.. . In other words, what I like to do when planning treasure (ie hoard), i'll factor in WBL for say the entire 2 to 4 levels of an adventure I'm planning. I'll then spread around the treasure accordingly, so the hyena pack encountered outside the blue dragons lair may have been an equivalent challenge, but all the coins are sitting inside the dragons cave. I'm simplifying, but is that the gist?
LazarX wrote:
I understand this, but I've never really liked this line of reasoning. I've heard that applied to demons/devils/etc. Creatures that have been around for time untold should have some decent tactics when dealing with shorter lived races. Yes, demons probably spend most of their time fantasizing about murder etc, but even if they aren't 20th level warriors, they've had more time to figure out adequate tactics to deal with mere mortals.
I mean yes, it makes sense that the occasional villain/BBEG is so bad ass that he becomes complacent / let's his guard down / becomes soft/ leaves the good guy hanging over the pit of crocodiles without makes sure he's dead / leaves an obvious gap for a pilot to destroy the deathstar, but . . . I guess I feel lazy using that as a DM. They should at least have a well planned security system if they aren't going to keep up their skills.

SEATTLE (AP) — An Army court is refusing to order that gruesome Afghan corpse photographs taken by Washington state-based soldiers be made public.
Pfc. Andrew Holmes is one of five soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord charged in the deaths of three civilians in Kandahar Province last year. He filed a petition asking the Army Court of Criminal Appeals to allow him to present the sensitive photographs during a preliminary hearing in his case.
Holmes' attorney, Dan Conway, argues the photographs could help show that the injuries one victim sustained were not caused by his client's weapon. The Army is keeping a tight lid on the pictures because it fears they could cause a backlash among Afghan citizens. But Holmes' attorney says that violates Holmes' right to public legal proceedings.
The court issued a two-sentence order Friday and did not explain its reasoning.
