I am not a dead beat debtor. I have always payed by cash and recently purchased a home. I have 2 low balance credit cards through Orchard Bank and my debit card at my bank and that's really all I've ever needed.
On 04/19/07 I received a credit card in the mail from this company for a balance of $250 along with a bill for $20.00 and a late fee of $29.00. Apparently the account was started in March, but I never received a disclosure letter or a card prior to this date. I was confused. I called the company and spoke to the customer servivce rep (who was very nice) and she advised that the card had been sent and returned to them for an invalid address so they sent out another one to my PO Box.
She kindly waived the fee and advised me that she would adjust the statement billing period and activate the card that day. I thought this would be a good way to help my daughter learn how to manage a credit account. I have never been more wrong in my life.
Today is May 17, 2007; not 30 days from the time the card was activated and I received a collection call for a past due balance of $69.00!! WHAT!! How did I just activate the card on 04/19/07 and not 30 days later am I receiving a collection call and a bill that shows my account as being 10 days past due??? What the billing period is for every 19 days???? NO WAY!!!
This is what the customer service guy Darryl Lamb told me when I said I wanted to close my account and my attorney would contact the company regarding the charges, late fees, monthly fees and fiance charges that are marked as a "purchase"
Per Darryl Lamb, customer service rep at Credit One Bank:
1) All closed accounts will access a $3.00 per month "closed account maintanence fee" until the balance is paid in full! (That CANNOT be Legal); 2) Of course the account will continue to access a finance charge on any past due balance; 3) If the card has been used to make any payments on contracted accounts i.e. subscriptions, singles website subscriptions etc the account will still be charged even though it is closed and they will not deny the charge when it is received (FYI if you have ever made a one time payment to your cell phone etc. and your bill is due the company has the right to bill the same credit card without your immediate authorization, that is in your contract when you sign up for their bill pay/web bill or credit payment service); and the late fee/over the limit fee will still be applied even if it is the "closed maintanence fee charge" that causes your account to be over the limit!!!
Now I don't know about you, but if my account is closed you cannot legally charge the account!!! It should be declined because the card is not active correct???? So does someone want to still tell me how this business is working on the legit??
I'm glad I have an attorney for this one!!

Every winter, many Henry Countians utilize firewood for heating, sometimes for supplemental heat and sometimes for the primary heat source. When buying firewood two factors will determine just how hot your fire is — seasoning and the kind of wood.
Wood is made up of air and cellulose (wood fiber). The more air space that wood has, the less there is to burn. Buying wood with the heaviest/most dense per unit volume will keep you toasty.
Beginning in 2011, fire departments in Henry County could be required to submit annual budgets and submit to an annual audit or risk losing their county-collected funding.
It's an effort, Henry County Judge-Executive John Logan Brent and Magistrate Nick Hawkins said, to hold fire departments accountable for the public funding they receive.
Casual conversations in the community revealed that many locals are not going over the river or through the woods to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, many are opting to bow their heads in thanks over all the fixings at nearby restaurants.
In an election year, there often is talk of cutting expenses. In Eminence some of that pre-November conversation targeted the cost of police protection.
Eminence Police Chief Carey Duncan said one issue was a claim that the department employs more officers than in the past. He offered pictorial evidence disputing that. The 1978 group picture shows six men in uniform, while one shot in the 1980s shows seven smiling officers. "So, we're operating with six," Duncan said, "and that's arguably not enough."
After leading the charge at the state level, Chuck Smith of Smith-Berry Winery brought the issue of Sunday wine sales to the Henry County Courthouse.
Along with his wife Mary, Smith has operated the small winery outside of New Castle for eight years. And in those eight years, he told the Henry County Fiscal Court last week, 80,000 to 100,000 people, from all 50 states and at least 12 countries, have visited the operation.
The metallic jingling of hundreds of small, lightweight medallions rang through the Steel Tech shooting range building Sunday afternoon.
The medallions were attached to hip scarves, about two dozen of which were tied around the hips of women who had gathered for one purpose: To join the party.
Lauren O. Fentress, 25, Port Royal, to Bryan K. Payton, 28, Port Royal.
Stephanie D. Meadows, 25, Eminence, to Aaron Christopher Barrows, 23, Shorewood, Ill.
J. Margo Aldridge, 53, Campbellsburg, to Ronald Wayne Barr, 59, Campbellsburg.
Zackary James Robinson, 21, Campbellsburg, and Brittany Renee Tracey Robinson, 22, Pleasureville.
David E. Jones Jr., 40, Sulphur, and Charlotte A. Peyton, 37, Sulphur.
With the recent changes made to the Community Life Center, Coach D Park in Eminence, and the constant upgrades to the newest county park, in New Castle, the county is definitely providing the community with what it needs: places for its youth and nearby opportunities for all of the community.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of these new additions in Henry County.
When the top middle school football players in the state line up to play in the annual Kentucky Middle School Football Association All-Star Game this Sunday, two Eminence players will be in the mix.
Eighth graders Justin Mitchell and Austin Jones were both selected to play for Kentucky East, who plays the West team in Frankfort, at the Kentucky State University field, this Sunday.
Racing against some of the top age-group runners in the country, Henry County had five athletes compete in the Cross Country Coaches National Youth Championships at Masterson Station Park in Lexington all day Saturday.
They raced for Team Kentucky — a mixture of some of the best in the state — on a day that featured 13 national-championship events. The youngsters from Henry County finished their school-affiliated seasons within the last few weeks, and Saturday's Team Kentucky meet was the season finale for them this cross-country season.

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for SPEN Gene
Summaries for SPEN Gene
This gene encodes a hormone inducible transcriptional repressor. Repression of transcription by this gene product can occur through interactions with other repressors, by the recruitment of proteins involved in histone deacetylation, or through sequestration of transcriptional activators. The product of this gene contains a carboxy-terminal domain that permits binding to other corepressor proteins. This domain also permits interaction with members of the NuRD complex, a nucleosome remodeling protein complex that contains deacetylase activity. In addition, this repressor contains several RNA recognition motifs that confer binding to a steroid receptor RNA coactivator; this binding can modulate the activity of both liganded and nonliganded steroid receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for SPEN Gene
SPEN (Spen Family Transcriptional Repressor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with SPEN include lip disease and pancreatic cystadenoma. Among its related pathways are Notch signaling pathway (KEGG) and Notch signaling pathway (Pathway Interaction Database). GO annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is RBM15.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for SPEN Gene
May serve as a nuclear matrix platform that organizes and integrates transcriptional responses. In osteoblasts, supports transcription activation: synergizes with RUNX2 to enhance FGFR2-mediated activation of the osteocalcin FGF-responsive element (OCFRE) (By similarity). Has also been shown to be an essential corepressor protein, which probably regulates different key pathways such as the Notch pathway. Negative regulator of the Notch pathway via its interaction with RBPSUH, which prevents the association between NOTCH1 and RBPSUH, and therefore suppresses the transactivation activity of Notch signaling. Blocks the differentiation of precursor B-cells into marginal zone B-cells. Probably represses transcription via the recruitment of large complexes containing histone deacetylase proteins. May bind both to DNA and RNA.


text: Demeter Fragrance Library's wearable version of the Chocolate Chip Cookie is a combination of light and dark chocolate, freshly baked but not too doughy. All of the flavor, none of the calories! Ruth Graves Wakefield graduated from the Framingham State School of Household Arts in 1924. After graduation, together with her husband, she bought a tourist lodge named the Toll House Inn. Ruth Wakefield prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety for her deserts. One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened. As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Toll House Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate. The rest, of course is history.

As suspected, this happens because one transformation made to field names after the verification against the Python keyword list (namely the striping of '_id' from e.g. 'from_id') can result in a 'from' introspected model field name. There are a couple of that kind of transformations.

There was a shot so slow and quiet in Beyond the Hills (or Dupa Dealuri if you've got Romanian skills) that it appeared to be accidentally freeze framed. Nope. Writer/director Cristian Mungiu did that on purpose.

on November 6, 2012 - 12:01 AM
It was love at first sight for Suzanne Hoak, of Blasdell, when she saw Zipper the kitten on television.
But like most immediate attractions, there were a few hurdles.
Zipper, a light gray tabby with a white belly, was just 4 weeks old and had severe problems with both eyes. He wasn't up for adoption due to the amount of medical care he needed. And even when his immediate crisis was past, he would most likely be blind.
None of this mattered to Hoak.
She first saw the kitten � underweight, with his fur shaved due to lice, both eyes injured somehow � on a morning news segment that highlights a special program of the SPCA Serving Erie County called "Yelp for Help."
"People donate to the �Yelp for Help' fund specifically for emergency care for animals who don't have anybody to pay for their care," says Gina Browning, public relations director for the SPCA. Every Thursday, Browning shows off an animal who has been helped by the program to the audience. When it came time to tape the segment that would air Sept. 27, she didn't have to look far to find an animal that was in desperate need of medical attention.
The little kitten the staff named Zipper � probably because of a line of darker fur down his back � was found on Stone Street, near Broadway and Bailey Avenue, on Sept. 22. He weighed less than 2 pounds and was dehydrated and infested with fleas, lice and worms, but his real problem was his eyes. Both were either malformed or damaged and it was soon obvious that Zipper was or would be blind.
But the medical notes from Zipper's second day at the SPCA noted his bright attitude. "Kitten seems happy," they read. He was eager to eat as long as the food was warmed, making its aroma more apparent.
When Browning talked about Zipper on the segment, there was more uncertainty in her voice than hope. "I did not go on there saying, �This kitten needs a foster home,' because he was only 4 weeks old, and we thought he would be with us for a while," she says. "If I went on the air and said, �We really need someone to foster him!' we didn't think anybody would take that on, so we didn't even ask for a foster home."
As she prepared for work, Hoak glanced at the television. Her immediate reaction to Zipper's adorable little face was, "I have to get him and bring him home."
Hoak already had a 5-month-old cat, Jaxon, whom she had adopted from HEART in July to the delight of her 3-year-old granddaughter, Hayden, "a consummate animal lover" who cannot have a pet because of her father's allergies.
At the HEART adoption center in Hamburg, Hoak had selected Jaxon "because of the way he looked at me when I looked into his cage. That was it."
Strange, then, that Hoak was now head-over-heels in love with a blind cat.
Her reaction even puzzles Hoak herself. "I have seen that segment probably a thousand times, and I have gotten teary, I have wished I could help that poor animal, but I have never had the urge, ever, to pick up the phone and say �I want this animal,'?" she says.
That morning, she couldn't resist. She wrote down Browning's number at the SPCA and waited until 8 a.m. to call. She left a message. Twenty minutes later, even though "I was afraid I was making a pest of myself," she called again.
"She was crying the first time she called," Browning said. "She said, �I'm in love with that kitten. Is there anything I can do to get that kitten sooner rather than later?'?" As they spoke, Hoak reassured Browning that she was willing and able to continue Zipper's medical treatment, including antibiotics, painkillers, ointment for his eyes and breathing treatments for an upper respiratory infection.
Browning went to see the staff in the shelter's medical treatment area. "Our vet techs met with the veterinarian, and they decided that if [Hoak] was comfortable doing what we were doing, it's always better for the animal to be out of the shelter, so we changed plans."
Hoak got the news in a call from the SPCA. "They said that he could not be adopted yet, but that I could foster to adopt and they would still care for him and give me all his meds. I said that would be wonderful."
When Hoak met Zipper, her only reaction was, "I have to take him home and make him better." The SPCA provided all the instructions on how to administer his medications.
At home, Jaxon enthusiastically welcomed the newly renamed Maxx. "Jaxon absolutely loved him," says Hoak. "I had to keep them separate for a while because of Maxx's respiratory infection, but Jaxon wanted none of that. He would leap on him and start licking him, cleaning him and grooming him. I have pictures of them actually hugging each other."
On Oct. 25, an SPCA vet did remove Maxx's untreatable eyes, to keep them from becoming a source of pain and infection. Last week, the stitches came out; the only complication was one stitch that came untied, Hoak believes, because Jaxon groomed Maxx's eye too enthusiastically.
Once Maxx is healed, Hoak will adopt him and make arrangements for him to see her own vet for further medical care.
The SPCA might not always allow an animal that needs so much medical care to go home in a foster-to-adopt arrangement, says Browning. "We tell people that every situation is different, and just because it happened with this kitten, it doesn't mean it will always happen. � But Sue was willing to do all this work, and he's doing beautifully. He's already bonded with her and her cat."
Some people tell Hoak that they find it sad to see Maxx. "I tell them, look at him. Put him in your lap and he'll snuggle right down, or he'll get feisty and try to play with your fingers. He's such a happy cat."
Around the house, Maxx functions well. "I feed him and Jaxon side by side, and he finds his food without any trouble," says Hoak. "He can climb up my bed and up on the couch, but he has no perception of how high up he is, so he doesn't jump down, he backs down, fanny first. He does bump into walls a little bit, but he moves very slowly." As she talks, Maxx bats at some flowing bed-skirt fabric.
Maxx does have one issue at home. Although he can find and use the litter box, he isn't able to see well enough to effectively cover his waste, which cats do instinctively. So Jaxon has taken it upon himself to follow Maxx into the litter box and cover it for him, Hoak says.
"I've never heard anything like that," says Browning. "How does the other one know that he can't see? That's like a little miracle. It's just incredible."

UNC Charlotte is on YouTube
School Supplies Drive Runs through August 26
UNC Charlotte is joining University City Connect for a school supplies donation drive to benefit the institutions that comprise Governor's Village.
From Tuesday, Aug. 9, through Friday, Aug. 26, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to donate school items for students in the four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) that make up Governor's Village: Morehead STEM Academy, Alexander Elementary, Martin Middle and Vance High. These schools are located less than five miles from the University.
Collection bins will be in Auxiliary Services Building, Barnhardt Student Activity Center, Cato Hall, EPIC, Facilities Management Building, Foundation Building, Reese Building and Woodward Hall. Requested items include pencils, pens, erasers, ruled (loose-leaf) paper and pocket folders; however, all school supplies are welcomed.
'Coding Boot Camp' Offered for Web Developers
UNC Charlotte will launch a 24-week "Coding Boot Camp" certificate program this November to meet the growing local, national and global demand for web developers.
"The innovative, full-stack program is best-suited for motivated individuals looking for a new career challenge — one that puts them in the forefront of the digital economy," said Asher Haines, UNC Charlotte's director of continuing education.
The Coding Boot Camp at UNC Charlotte, which will run from Nov. 8, 2016, through May 20, 2017, is designed to accommodate the schedules of students and working professionals, with two evening classes during the week (6:30 - 9:30 PM.) and a four-hour class on Saturdays (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM).

I went online to register for the reward and it kept telling me it didn't recognize the phone number associated with it. It had a phone number to call. I called that number and it would give an ad for something then disconnect.
I called another number I found and was told that I wasn't eligible for the reward because I didn't have AT&T cell phone or Direct TV. That wasn't mentioned before and I told them that. They still said I wasn't eligible. I hung up on them.
I found another number and called and told them to come take it out and the $96 disconnect fee for early termination because they sold it to me under false pretenses and that I was going to report them to the BBB. Then I was told that since they wanted to keep me happy that they would give me a $100 credit on my bill.
I accepted the credit and made the guy repeat what he told me and told him I was recording it. He did. I told him to tell on the tape who he was talking to (my name) and my account number and what my bill would be for the next 11 months. He did. I hope I'm protected.

A mother begs for help identifying son's killer: Slain 4-year-old 'was my everything'
Coral Salvador thought her 4-year-old son was asleep when she peered into a bedroom and realized he wasn't there.
As she walked toward the front door, she heard gunshots, and saw her son's motionless body on the front porch.
"There was blood everywhere," she said.
Salvador grabbed the boy and ran inside, where she performed CPR in the living room and cradled his small head. She could feel where a bullet had punctured his skull.
"I knew he wasn't going to make it, but I held out hope," she said.
Doctors at the hospital tried to resuscitate the boy but were unsuccessful. He died shortly after midnight.
Nearly two months later, Salvador, 23, returned to the home along with other family members and Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide investigators to ask the public for help identifying the shooter and to publicize a $20,000 reward.

I download a woothemes theme, and I asked them for help but they do not support non paying customers.
So i thought I would give this forum a try.
I downloaded a really nice theme, but just like how to you would press Command + Minus, or CRTL + Minus, it will zoom out, it makes my theme look much nicer.
I was wondering if you could set the theme by default to look as it would at 90% if it were zoomed out.
If you still don't understand, go to any website and hold Command or CTRL and press the (-) Minus button and look how it zoomed out. I want my site to look like it would being zoomed out 10%

As the birthplace of tragedy, democracy, and the Olympics, Greece has a history that would leave most nations reeling. Combine this with an unrivalled setting and the popular conception of Greece - with its laidback view on life and mañana culture - and it's easy to see why an increasing number of Brits are looking to make it their home.
Mary O'Connor of O'Connor Properties in Kalamata, understands the attraction: "The sheer magic of the landscape with its mountains, gorges and golden sandy beaches makes Greece hugely appealing. Add to this a fantastic climate, non-commercial way of life, the warm hospitality of the people, and little if any crime, and it's not difficult to see why people want to buy here."
IT project manager and freelance writer, Howard Gray, has holidayed in Greece more than 40 times, tempted by the climate, the people, and the diversity of the country. "But," he says, "the property market there is very fragmented. Our base, in Sigri, is over an hour's drive over mountainous roads from the nearest town of any size. So access to estate agents, lawyers or builders is difficult. Some of these services are only available in Mytilene, the island capital about two hours drive away."
Val Simmons, originally from Hindhead in Surrey, who met and married a local Greek while holidaying there over a decade ago decided to build a property in Sigri. Although Val and her husband now have a house of their own design, Val stresses the complexity of taking this path and the difficulties posed by bureaucracy, village politics and remoteness.
"Almost everything has to be imported," she says, "including many services like plumbers. If I were to do it again, I'd consider buying directly but few houses come on the market although it's still cheap by UK standards."
To overcome this problem, Jane Bell and her husband Ian now rent a small house in Sigri at an annual rate and fly out at regular intervals for both lengthy and short breaks. Before this, for many years, they visited the island regularly, enabling them to understand local customs and become accepted almost as locals in the process.
The contacts and friendships that Jane and Ian forged over this period meant that they have been able to benefit from the favours of those who had come to know and trust them, enabling them to get a good rental deal. For them buying a house is no longer necessary.
Problems with access in rural areas of Greece can make restoration costs high. Add to this the winters, which can be bitter and flights and ferries which are reduced to skeleton services in these months and island life may start to lose some of its appeal.
As Steenie Harvey points out in her book, Your Own Second Home in Europe, "the island of Hydra has to get its water supply shipped in every day - and here storm conditions mean no deliveries of anything. Water sometimes runs out too during summer, and not only on Hydra. Would you feel happy going five days without a shower?"
It may therefore be worth considering the Peloponnese mainland on which access is quicker and cheaper, but is nevertheless still stunningly beautiful.
O'Connor Properties deals mainly with properties in the Peloponnese and can offer a renovated old stone house in the Messinian county with views to the harbour for around €75,000, or a four-bedroom house close to the sea for €130,000.
"Prices here rise by a minimum of 10-20 per cent per year, so just buying a property and selling it again in a couple of years is a good investment in itself," says Mary.
"The British who wish to purchase here are those who want to assimilate Greek society. What they don't want is Great Britain in good weather, where everybody speaks English, and where they can eat fish and chips."
And you can rest assured that fish and chips will not be on the menu. Greece is a nation still heavily steeped in tradition, where the way of life continues as it has done for centuries. Endearing perhaps to the holidaymaker, mildly frustrating, to say the least, for the unsuspecting foreigner trying to set up home.
Having his back pain cured with raw egg and witnessing frequent exhumations to make space in the village are just some of the idiosyncrasies John Mole, author of It's All Greek To Me (Nicholas Brealey), had to get to grips with while creating a home on the island of Evia. "I was sent to Athens in 1976 as Middle East Representative for an American commercial bank," he explains. "Beirut would have been a better place but it was in the middle of a war."
Nevertheless, John soon fell in love with Greece, understanding that Greek habits are simply differences that the outsider has to accept. "They were just irritations," he says, "they taught us a lot about how Greece and Greeks work. And they were good material for a book. Just realise that everything is difficult and nothing is impossible; throw off British reticence and respond to the warmth of the people."
John says the people are always generous and hospitable. He and his family have now been at home in Greece for more than 30 years. During that time they have witnessed some changes to village life.
"People don't take their meals to the bakers to cook in the oven anymore because they now have electric ovens at home and they don't gather in the café to watch TV because everyone has their own. "I could never imagine a Greek family settling in an English village getting the same reception as we received in our village," he concludes.

News Release Date : 04/06/2006
Revolutionary Cancer Treatment Arrives at St. Mary's of Michigan
It�s called TomoTherapy and, unlike traditional radiation therapies, the TomoTherapy System is the first device to provide 3-D imaging immediately prior to each treatment to verify the location of a patient�s tumor. Radiation is then delivered via a beam in a helical pattern, which means from any point in a 360 degree radius around the patient.
This enables more accurate and more precise treatment of the tumor. Traditional therapies can only project onto the tumor from a few different directions. Traditional radiation therapies often require a patient to transfer between several different stations to receive treatment, which takes time.
TomoTherapy enables the clinician to plan, verify and deliver treatment in one system. It can also reduce the chance of errors since all patient information is contained in one unit, and it reduces patient treatment time.
The ability to do 3-D imaging immediately before each treatment to verify the location of a tumor also increases precision. Often between treatments a patient�s tumor can move. So by verifying before each treatment, a patient�s tumor can be precisely targeted increasing accuracy of delivery. "It is beyond state-of-the-art,"says Dr. Cappelli.

The Daily Start-Up: 'Minority Report' Company Oblong Adds New Backers
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Oblong Industries, the company whose technology provided the basis for the futuristic computer systems in the film "Minority Report," added two new investors to its Series B round–Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners and Energy Technology Ventures. Oblong has created a spatial operating system called g-speak that supports many different kinds of devices and allows people to use gestures to interact over long distances through a shared telepresence workspace.
Security problems associated with mobile connectivity and a bring-your-own-device workforce represent a huge market opportunity for WatchDox Technologies, which said it has raised another $9 million to help organizations secure the data they share over any device. Blackstone Group led the Series C investment in WatchDox, an unusual early-stage deal for the private equity firm, through Blackstone Innovations.
Also in today's VentureWire: The Raine Group and Insight Venture Partners are shaking up their portfolio a bit, making a minority investment in Zumba Fitness…real-time database start-up Drawn to Scale said it has secured an initial round of funding from IA Ventures, RTP Ventures and SK Ventures…and Aarki, which helps developers distribute and monetize mobile apps, said Walden Venture Capital has led a Series A investment in the company.

Louis Vuitton Perfectly Engineers 'It' Bag Frenzy
They just weren't luxury enough.
Call us philistines, but we already considered Louis Vuitton an "exclusive brand." But, lo, LVMH has been underperforming quite a bit this year because the brand had become too "ubiquitous," reports Reuters. No longer! To regain some of that "you can't have me" sparkle, Louis Vuitton released the Capucine bag (made from the same coveted leather of a special Swiss cow that Hermes uses for the Birkin bag, no less). It costs $4,600, a price tag that guarantees rescue from ubiquity and deliverance into exclusivity.
The brand built "It" bag frenzy like a pro: First, they cast Michelle Williams in a buzzworthily gorgeous ad campaign, then Angelina Jolie was snapped toting the bag around town. Then everyone from Hollywood starlets to Real Housewives wanted it. But of course, Vuitton only released the already sold-out bag in small batches, creating a months-long waiting list. (Nobody gets the bag until October, no matter how rich they are.) Congratulations Louis Vuitton, you've done it. Again?

Well, assuming they get a hold of the tiger-man corpses. But that's assuming too much. We need to wait to see what happens to Gareth first before turning to weighty matters such as interior decorating.
In either case, it looks like Nameless is going shopping for Permenancy!

Don't forget the stuffed mind flayer they now have. They've got all sorts of horrible ideas, like setting it up with a magic mouth to greet salesmen at the door with a "Braaaains!" That neighbourhood is going to go to hell.Originally Posted by Solarious
Also true! They are rapidly approaching that phase when the BBEG personalities of Eberron become their peers... although frankly, we all know Shilsen knows exactly how to make them both kittens and those disturbed serial killers at the same time.
To start off the updates, here's a short one. Since I'm still really busy with work and likely to be for at least a week, I'll shoot for a number of short, regular (daily or every two days) updates until I get caught up.
************************************************** *******************
Handled over email:
The Angels wait only for Nameless to use the scroll, which is of analyze dweomer, to study the ring. The way that his eyes light up serves some indication of its nature even before he explains. It is of a kind he has not seen or heard of before, allowing the wearer to imbue the spells he casts with certain effects, making them more powerful, last longer, reach further, and the like. The fact that it allows casting of some minor spells and provides keener understanding of magic is almost irrelevant. Nameless quickly dons it, as the group departs hurriedly.
By the time they leave Rotting Blade, the sky is slightly darker, or at least so they imagine. Crossing the first set of hills to the northeast, they find another small line of them approximately a mile to the east, running almost directly north across their path. As the travelers approach, even with the lower visibility of the Wastes, its atmosphere polluted by smoke from the numerous fire pits and small volcanoes, they can make out the rough shape of a column of smoke and fire almost directly northeast.
As the Angels approach these hills, the shape of the column grows clearer, even as the rise of the hills hides its source. Soon enough, they find their way over one of the lower slopes, emerging onto one end of a rolling plain. As is usual in this area, at points it rises into small mounts, a couple of them glowing with volcanic activity. One of them completely overshadows the others, and for that matter every volcano they have seen here or elsewhere, which stands just over two miles away.
This one is absolutely huge, not so much in height as in width. The crater at the top, the source of the smoke column, from the edges of which liquid flame trickles in slow red streams, must stretch a mile in diameter, and the volcanos base is twice as wide. Perhaps only because they know what it supposedly contains, the volcano seems almost alive, a dark, malevolent beast crouching low over the landscape around it.
As the Angels near the southwestern side of the volcano, following the directions provided by Vraria, they find it growing progressively darker, the pall of smoke cutting off the sunlight. While on the way, they catch sight of a silvery gleam near the base. As they approach, they see movement near it, and in the general area. Orienting themselves towards the gleam, with the low foothills and broken land around the base, they are able to approach all the way till nearly a quarter of a mile from the volcano.
Looking at the Lake of Fire from behind a low hillock, the Angels now see that the silvery light outlines a doorway, low on the volcanos side. A tiger-headed humanoid sits beside the doorway on a rock. Moving restlessly around it are three more of the scaled, six-legged cats they had seen earlier in the day. As they watch, they see more movement in the area. Dozens of creatures are moving around the base of the volcano. There are a few more of the cats, as well as some of the large lizards they saw before, and more unusual beasts that they do not recognize. Off to the east, perhaps half a mile away from them, there are dozens of humanoid figures, perhaps members of the Carrion Tribes. Like the animals, they seem to be simply watching the volcano, not moving any closer to it.
Let me get a better view, says Nameless, who has already been casting a spell as they approached. He completes it, and an arcane eye pops into existence about twenty feet from the creature sitting near the door. It shows no signs of noticing the invisible sensor, nor do the three creatures nearby.
Looking through the sensor, Nameless can see that it appears to be a rakshasa, of the yellow-and-black furred variety. It is dressed in fairly ornate robes and does not wear any armor or obvious weapons other than a curved dagger at its belt. It does have many pouches at its belt, as a spellcaster might have, and a couple of wands hanging by its side. As far as Nameless can make out an expression on the feline face, it seems bored, turning once in a while to look at the door as if expecting or hoping for something to occur.
The three creatures nearby are the large scaled, six-legged cats they had seen (on the way back from Burning Keep) feeding on the carcasses of the lizards they had killed. The creatures move around aimlessly, but stay close to the rakshasa. At one point, it says something to one of the cats that is straying (unheard by Nameless, since the sensor only relays visual information) and the cat growls and returns, to plop down on a rock nearby.
As Nameless moves the sensor around, he sees that the other creatures (some more cats, a few of the lizards, what look like a pair of large snakes with spines along their backs, and a small group of dog-like creatures that he thinks have scales like the cats but only four legs) are all staying in groups fairly well separated from each other, though they do all move from place to place. They all seem fixated on the mountain. The snakes and the dogs are close to the direct path between where the Angels are and the doorway. They could find a path that gives all the creatures a wide berth, but would have to take a fairly winding approach to do so, which would take twice or thrice as long to cover the ground.
When Nameless turns the sensor towards the doorway, he finds the area beyond somewhat hazy, like looking through a thin mist, which makes visibility difficult. Beyond the doorway is what looks like a stone chamber, evidently carved, since the floor is smooth. The silvery light emanates from what looks like silver fire (much like the kind often involved with Gareth) that flows in streams up and down the walls of the chamber. There seem to be no such streams on the floor and the ceiling is too high (the doorway is only six feet high and about five feet wide) to see.
When Nameless tries to move the sensor through the doorway, it stops at the threshold as if encountering some barrier. He moves it around and checks around for chinks that it can squeeze through, with no success. When the sensor is right up against the doorway, however, he catches a glimpse of something he could not see through the haze from further away. At the limits of his vision, about fifty feet in, lies one end of what looks like a large snake. It must be at least ten feet long, since he can see a good seven-eight feet of it and not far enough to see the head. There is a pool of blood around it and something flat and brightly colored on the ground at the far end on either side, or at least he thinks so through the haze.
End of email segments
Nameless ends the spell and quickly explains what he saw. I think thats a couatl in there.
Couatl? asks Six.
Gareth answers. They are holy creatures. Relatives of the dragons. Some say that the Silver Flame was created when the couatls sacrificed themselves at the end of the Age of Demons to bind the rakshasa rajahs.
Want to bet that our two buddies killed it? asks Korm rhetorically. Nameless any sign of them?
Thats not good, says Six. How do we get to the door?
I can transport most of us, says Nameless, But we need to get closer. Then we can show up and surprise the heck out of that rakshasa.
What about all those other critters? I get the feeling theyll be interfering, and some should reach that door pretty quick.
Maybe , begins Nameless, when Luna interrupts with a warning growl, seconds before Korm says, Quiet! I just heard something.
The Angels turn quickly, just as a scarred and tattooed form looks over a nearby ridge at them. Behind it are a dozen more, all holding weapons.

I'm wrapping up the big project I'm involved with this morning (which leaves me with the little matter of 180 papers to grade over the next few days), so I'm hoping to have another quick update up this evening or tomorrow morning.
We're also supposed to be playing tomorrow, so there's going to be material for regular updates for a bit now.

That's not a cliffhanger. The bad guys have weapons.
Now if they had sticks, that would be a cliffhanger. Sticks are dangerous in Eberron.

I'm not that mean. The sticks have to have rocks on them for me to threaten 10th lvl PCs with them. Otherwise it would just be wrong.Originally Posted by ajanders
And here's the next instalment. Enjoy.
************************************************** **********************
The figure nods. So you are here. I had hoped so. He gestures and he and the others clamber over the low ridge separating them from the Angels.
Morran! What are you doing here? asks a pleased Korm.
Yes, says the Ghaashkala warrior, his lips twitching in what probably passes for a broad smile. I thought after you left that you might need aid. I told you I have thought about carrying our battle into the Wastes. Some others wanted to do so as well. And your cause was especially worthy. So here we are. He says, just a little somberly. My brother did not like the idea. But it is done now. We would have gone to the village, but saw the smoke a few hours ago and thought we should come this way. How can we help?
After a quick explanation of what they believe is transpiring inside the volcano, the Angels decide that a few of the Ghaashkala should approach from another direction, to hopefully draw the rakshasa away, allowing the rest to head quickly for the door. Morran agrees and sends four of the warriors to do so.
The plan doesnt work out precisely as intended. Moments after the four warriors catch the rakshasas attention by firing arrows from a long distance, it casts a spell and takes flight. Flying forward, it sends a fireball that explodes among the four warriors, who fall back under cover.
The Angels and the rest are hurrying forward already. The rakshasa, distracted by its targets, does not see them immediately, but a number of the animals in the area do notice and move towards them. The Ghaashkala promptly speed up to intercept the creatures. Noticing the movement, the rakshasa changes direction, another fireball shooting out to explode among them. Having cast the spell, it flies back towards the doorway.
Surprise, surprise! mutters Nameless, as he casts a dimension door. To the rakshasas evident surprise, four figures appear between it and the doorway. It barely has a moment to growl before Korm, having grown a pair of wings, shoots forward at it. He throws his powerful arms around the rakshasa and simply stops flapping his wings. The weight overcomes the rakshasas fly spell, and the pair plummets to the ground, Korm pivoting to land on top.
Before the groggy creature can rise, Six and Gareth are charging forward to slash into it. With a pained scream, the rakshasa makes a Herculean effort and staggers to its feet, only for Sixs chain, already enhanced by Gareth to affect rakshasas, to curl around its throat. The big warforged jerks back on the chain and there is an audible snap.
As the rakshasa falls, Nameless calls, I could use a little help, from where he is, with two of the six-legged cats menacing him, while the third is charging Gareth. Fifteen seconds later, two of the cats are dead and the third is fleeing as fast as it can.
That was easy, says Korm, pulling the spear given them by the Ghaashkala from one of the corpses. Too easy.
I wouldnt say that, says Nameless, moving towards the doorway. If this is a wall of force, were screwed. Im hoping its a dimensional gate of some kind.
Guys? interrupts Six, looking down at his chest. Im glowing.
Looking at him, the others can see the outline of the tattoo on his chest, or more precisely, where the tattoo had been. Though it has not reappeared, a softly glowing outline marks where it was. Feels warm, says Six.
I feel it too, says Gareth, checking to see that the same thing has happened with him. Nameless and Korm are experiencing the same. I guess this means were near the Key, says Nameless, a little uncertainly, But does it mean its forming some sort of link to us again?
If that happens, Lunas really not , begins Korm, but his words are interrupted, and corroborated, as an angry Luna, followed by the Ghaashkala, reaches them. Still in bear form, she rears up, growls and points agitatedly to her chest, where a similar outline glows.
Yes, Luna, we know, says Gareth with a grin. Were trying to work out if theres some link .
Luna growls even more loudly and goes through a series of remarkably eloquent gestures, which seem to indicate something about the glow, the Key, the universe and certain bodily functions.
Grinning, Nameless turns again to the door. Now this is interesting! The others turn to see that a small symbol is now visible in the middle of the haze that makes up the doorway. It looks exactly like the image of the dragon that was on the Key, except that this one lacks the dragonshard it was depicted as holding.
It wasnt here earlier, says Nameless. Let me check. He casts a detect magic and concentrates. After a few seconds, he says, Strong abjuration on the doorway. And that little image is strong divination.
Morran, who has been waiting patiently with his men, now short one from the quick melee against the attacking beasts, asks, Do you know what that is? Or how to get in?
Not really, says Nameless with a grimace. It could be
Again, he never gets to finish the sentence. With an impatient growl, Luna shoves past him. No, Lun , begins the alienist, but Luna ignores him and slams her paw against the symbol. It passes right through, and through the haze beyond, with only the lightest of resistance.
Shaking his head, Nameless says, You know thatll get you killed someday, right? Luna ignores him and sticks her face through the doorway. She immediately finds that the haze is less than an inch thick. She also sees that the dead creature is a winged snake, as the others had described, and that it lies ten feet from the far end of the chamber (which is about sixty feet long, twenty feet high and roughly oval) and a tall doorway made of what looks like silver flame, matching the streams that appear on each wall from floor to ceiling. Luna also notes tiny sparks of silver flame in the pool of blood around the couatl, which seem to be winking out one by one.
The druid pulls her head back out, waves the others forward, and steps through. The rest follow. Morran, trying to do the same, is brought up short as he bumps painfully into an apparently solid barrier. Nameless experiments and sees that the barrier exists for Morran, but not the others. Must be something to do with the Key and our old link to it, he says. But we could seriously use you and your people in here. Let me try something.
Nameless reduces Morran and then places the slightly surprised, but stoical, warrior inside a bag of holding. Carrying the bag through, he opens it and extracts Morran. The now three foot tall Ghaashkala steps out, opens his mouth, and collapses on his face.
Oh, damn! Is he alive?
Nameless quickly checks. Yes. I feel a pulse. Looking at the worried-looking Ghaashkala outside, he says, Lets get him outside. The hazy barrier presents no problems when they try to move Morran through. A second after he is carried outside, Morran opens his eyes and sits up, looking confused. What happened?
Nameless explains and asks, Do you want to try again? Maybe it is an effect that you can resist.
The Ghaashkala looks skeptical, and when one of his warriors points out something in the distance, he shakes his head. I do not think that is an option. You are evidently chosen by Kalok Shash for this task. We will give you the time you need. Look!
Where he points, Nameless sees at least a score of what must be Carrion Tribe barbarians heading towards them. Off at an angle, a small pack of the scaled dogs they had seen also lope closer. More will come, says Morran. We will keep them from you. For how long, I do not know, so try to hurry.
Nameless looks dissatisfied, and Gareth mutters, Shouldnt this Kalok Shash be a little more understanding? The comment draws no response from Morran but gets a grunt of amusement from Korm. If Kalok Shash is the Silver Flame, do you really need to ask?
Are you sure? says Nameless. That barrier should keep these things at bay too, and out here you will probably die.
Maybe. You do not have time to risk more attempts to get us in. And we cannot risk letting them follow you in. So we will hold them here. This time, there is actually a slight smile, as he looks at Korm. I told you. We live for the Flame. We die for the Flame. If you return and we are here, then we shall break meat together. If not, it was a good parting.
Korm nods, understanding the fatalism of the Ghaashkala better than his companions do. He salutes Morran silently with his blade, and heads back in, followed by the others. Behind them, the Ghaashkala move away from the doorway, forming a loose semi-circle and waiting for the inevitable attack.
As the trio re-enters, Six, who has been watching them, says, Im pretty sure that creature is dead. He points at the couatl, which Luna stands over. She growls her agreement and carefully touches it with her paw.
Instantly, there is a flash of silver light from the corpse and the blood around it, and the tiny silver sparks disappear. The light resolves itself into the spectral figure of a couatl, hanging in mid-air above the corpse. It gazes around and then speaks, in a sibilant and clearly feminine tone, I am Dalassakashalyntar, servant of the Flame that binds, the Light that will not die. You are come in the nick of time. You are here to stop the Lords of Dust, are you not?
Yes, says Gareth, kneeling instantly. I am Gareth Byron Deneith, paladin of the Silver Flame. How may I serve?
I do not know what age this is, but there is no time for explanations. I was held here as a guardian, in case anyone ever broke the seals and attempted to awaken He that is bound within. I was awakened a short time ago to face two rakshasas, but they slew me.
So you really are dead? asks Six.
Yes, I am dead, continues the spirit, a trifle petulantly, Held here for a time by the grace of the Flame in case help came. And so you have. You must stop them if you can. She sounds uncertain as she adds, They are very powerful.
Where are they?
Through the doorway, in the heart of the fire. You must follow and slay them.
Theyre inside the volcano?
Yes. You will need protection.
Nameless says, Can you help us in any way? We dont have the resources we would have had if wed had any time to prepare. And even if we did, I wouldnt be sure we can take them.
There is little I can do, since I am dead, says the couatl. Then she pauses, and closes her eyes. When she reopens them and speaks, there is relief in her voice. There is something the Flame will let me do. I will enter you all, if you allow me, and create a temporary conduit to the Flame. It will empower you to the limit of your normal capabilities and beyond, into the realm of potential you have not yet explored. It cannot last long, but hopefully long enough. She adds, half to herself, I shall be quickly consumed by the process, but that does not matter. After all, I am already dead.
Im beginning to notice a trend here, mutters Korm quietly, drawing an ursine guffaw from Luna and a glare from Gareth.
The paladin turns back to the couatl and says, Please do so.
Even as the others nod, Dalassakashalyntar swoops forward. Her wings spread wide to encompass all of the Angels and her already transparent form fades away. As she disappears, the Angels all stagger back at the sudden rush of warmth, followed by a sensation of immense power, which envelops them.
The precise effects vary with the individual, the warriors feeling stronger and more dexterous, while the spellcasters have their faculties heightened, with all five of them feeling significantly more durable. Dweomers that they have only studied or heard about without ever being able to cast leap into existence in their minds, ready for release. Some spells leap instantly from memory to existence, instantly cloaking them in multiple magical defenses. A momentary feeling of reverence for the Silver Flame floats into their minds, and though it quickly dissipates, it leaves behind a certainty of being blessed and protected. And it all happens in a long near-orgasmic moment which leaves them breathless*.
The experience is slightly different for Nameless. As the couatls spirit soars into him, a terrific pain erupts within his head, accompanied by a mad gibbering in daelkyr. Evidently the footprint left in his mind reacts badly to the influence of the Flame. But, as he concentrates, the pain quickly recedes, to be replaced by the fascination of holding in mind dweomers he has dreamt of casting for months.
Short-lived though it is, some of the others notice Nameless momentary pained response.
You okay, Nameless? asks Luna, who has enlarged to become roughly the size of a small elephant.
Yes, I am , Nameless begins to respond, before realizing, as all the Angels do, that Luna cannot speak in bear form. And that she actually just growled a query, as she normally does, without expecting to really be understood.
You can hear , begins Luna, in fascination, when all of the Angels hear the couatls voice in their heads.
your voice, she completes Lunas sentence. Yes. You are all linked through me, and as long as I remain and the conduit lasts, you can communicate instantly through your thoughts. Even though I am
dead, completes Nameless, aloud this time. We know. Shouldnt we go now?
Yes, is the response, again sounding (thinking?) slightly petulant. Immediately, without even having made a physical move, the Angels feel themselves shot forward towards the doorway. As they reach it, there is a flash of light and they are somewhere else.
The Angels find themselves standing near one end of a rough stone area. A wall of flaming lava surrounds them on every side, even hanging in the air to form a ceiling thirty feet above their heads, as if they stood in a bubble within the heart of the volcano. The heat is incredible, and if it were not for their magical protection, they would be gasping for breath and slowly dying.
The stone they stand on is pitch black. Behind them, it stretches into four rough rectangles of varying lengths, and another, slightly thicker one stretches off at an angle to their left, each marked by the wall of lava around it. Something they notice instantly is that the lava around them is shot through with thin silver and black lines, which curl around each other.
What draws their attention, of course, is the pair of figures present here with them, both in their natural forms. About forty feet ahead, the roughly rectangular floor becomes narrower before stretching into another rectangle. Where this narrowing occurs stands the rakshasa swordswoman Nethatar, jagged blade drawn, facing towards the Angels. About fifteen feet behind her, ten feet from the wall of lava immediately in front of him, is the white-haired akchazar, Zathara, facing away with both hands raised and chanting slowly aloud.
Unlike Nethatar, who is dressed as before in the heavy armor she fancies, Zathara wears a strange harness, which looks like it is made of some thick, dried gray hide. In the center, four metal, clawed hands are attached to it, which hold the Key between them. An amber beam emerges through Zatharas back and hits Nethatars chest, and a cone of similarly colored light emerges from the Key to meet the wall of lava ahead of them. Where the cone shines on the lava, it is slowly receding, leaving grayish-green stone behind. As the lava retreats, the silver lines fade away, and the black lines physically drop to the stone, coating it and turning it black.
Almost like skin, thinks Six, a second before Nameless realizes the shape they stand upon.
It looks roughly like a huge
Yes, says the couatls voice. You stand upon His hand.
And then there is no more time, as Zathara ceases his chant, noticing the intruders.
* Mechanically, all PCs hit 11th level, with full hit pts and all spells prepared. They also all got a +2 luck bonus to attack, damage, saves, skills, ability checks and caster lvl checks to penetrate SR. Each player also got to choose what 3 stats were most important to their PC and got a +4 enchancement bonus to each stat. They were also benefiting from a telepathic link with each other and fire resistance 30. The spellcasters got to pick 4 spells each to be instantly cast. Amusingly, most of the players went, Wow! when they found everything that they got. And Lunas player went, Wait what the hell are we going to fight that well need all of this? For some reason nobody trusts Shil bearing gifts

It was more like, "Wow [thought balloon] If he's giving us all this, the $#$% has to be really deep in there.[/thought balloon] Only Luna's player felt it necessary to actually say it out loud, but that's just Luna for you.

Let's put it this way: your players do trust a Shilsen bearing gifts, they just trust you're going to start pouring the antartic water over their heads at any given moment in the future.Originally Posted by shilsen

Funny you should say that. It's not always me.Originally Posted by Solarious
The PCs got a lot of gifts between the previous weekend's session and yesterday's. And, to extend your metaphor, then went and found a bucket of water and tried to drown themselves.
Less metaphorically, we had the single most embarrassing battle the PCs have ever had.

text: Posted December 9, 2012 Good coach? That is fuging laughable. How many times has Ron mismanaged the game? How many fuging times has Ron's defense laid down and loss the game in the final seconds? How many fuging timeouts/penalties has Ron used/occured because there are too many men on the field? so our coach has had us in quite a few close games? must be doing something right. The HC can't close the game out...........the players have to learn to do that. someone needs to step up and make a play at crunch time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
