Converting 2e and 1e adventures
So I'm looking at converting a 2e Dungeon magazine adventure, the Mud Sorceror's Tomb. It occurs to me that there are a few things that make this a bit difficult.
1. Most of the encounters are with one or two creatures, at least in this adventure. I'm going to have to make things interesting within the encounter or have to add more monsters to the encounter (which shouldn't be too much of a problem).
It is tough in this adventure to 'combine' encounters though...they're pretty well separated by puzzles, traps, etc.
2. In 4e, traps are part of encounters, but in 2e they're usually outside of the encounters. Not really sure how to deal with that...especially in those situations that can kill the PC outright (ala pillars dropping on them).
Anyone else have any experience at doing this?-- Hailstop

One or two important traps could be handled as skill challenges. The players know about the trap's existence and they try to find a way to disable or circumvent it. If they fail the skill challenge, the trap is triggered.
Or make the whole exploration of and movement inside the tomb a skill challenge. With each success they move closer to their goal, each failure leads them to a combat or a trap. This might work well if the task is not to explore the tomb to the last square inch, but to reach a definite goal, like slaying the restless dead within the tomb or retreive some treasure.

Why not simply use the updated 3E version from Dungeon 138 (available for $ 2 a paizo)? There also a free handout available here. Also check out these hooks for it from Candlekeep

So the encounters are separated by traps and stuff? Can you make these traps part of the encounter?
Or maybe just use a bunch of elite and solo monsters.
Or throw in a bunch of hazards.
Or just let the small encounters stand- but use higher level monsters. So if you're running a 1st level group, you could use standard 3rd or 4th level monsters instead of 1st, and just use 2/encounter plus a hazard or something.

It requires a bit of a shift in perspective, IMO.
In 1e-3e, by and large Rooms were the basic encounter element. While there was a lot of interaction between rooms (particularly in the better 1e adventures), usually you went from room to room fighting as you go. Each room is a discrete encounter.
In 4e, "Areas" are the basic encounter element, and often these are composed of several dungeon rooms.
Try to get an idea of how the dungeon is divided up into separate areas, rather than trying to do a faithful room-by-room breakdown, IMO. This will also make it much easier to incorporate traps as part of an encounter, rather than as separate obstacles which take place outside of encounters.
I hope that makes sense.

I've been curious about converting old 1e and 2e adventures as well. I was wondering if anyone has already done some so I can get a feel for their treatment of the source material. Also, what are some good places to find old adventures or are there any particularly simple 1e/2e adventures that people here recommend to practice converting?
Most of my group of players, myself included, have very limited experience with actual D&D prior to late 2e/early 3e. Thus, i'm interested in experiencing some of that "old-school feel" i keep hearing about, but with my own twist. I've managed to acquire just about all of the published modules from the era thanks to my stepdad who used to play, and i think there might be some dungeon/dragon magazines in there too.

A couple months after 4E came out, my party had progressed to the point where I felt I could run them through X2, Castle Amber. Not truly a 1e or 2e module, but close enough.
A couple things to keep in mind. Keep the spirit of the module. A great example of this is a ghostly banquet early in the module. I had to modify almost all the effects of the food, but it is still one of the most memorable events I've DM'd for them.
Another really important thing to consider is most of these have rooms that just won't work with tactical combat, they are just too small. So you'll either have to modify the map, the monsters, just draw the room bigger, or a combination of the three.
The final thing is the monsters. In X2, there is a room of Rakshasa. In the expert setting, they are like level 2 or 3 monsters, in 4E, 15th and higher. So you'll have to deal with that.
It was a bit of work, but easier than creating from scratch as there was the framework that I have always loved regarding the module. I was able to keep to it for the most part, and at the end, my cousin who had DM'd it for me 20 years ago said it was excellent.
Don't be afraid to just dive in and give it a whirl.

I converted a 2e Dungeon adventure called Tallow's Deep into a 4e dungeon romp. I put in a story hour you can read here if you want:
4e TALLOW'S DEEP
I thought it converted very well. The biggest adjustment was the amount and types of enemies, but 4e easily accomodates that. I also lengthened it with several new encounters and subplots so it is fairly longer than the original. It has a lot pictures so might load sorta slow, sorry.

I find converting creatures and groups of creatures from early editions of dnd quite easy. Much easier than for 3E, simple b/c of its 1 orc = challenge for 1st lvl party. Old editions used several orcs and 4E makes that easy too. The old monster write-ups that show what % of a given race carry certain weapons are great ideas for writing variations on the race
Admittedly small hallways and rooms do not suit 4E, but doubling their size often works, or simply adjust the map.
You can still count sev rooms as one enc, and in regards to the prob of one monster encounters, 4E has a great system just for this - make them solo monsters.

Well, there aren't a lot of monster encounters in this module, but lots of traps. Which is probably the tougher problem. With 4e, traps and hazards are considered basically another monster in the encounter, but in previous versions, traps were usually outside combat.
The problem is having the traps be enough of a hazard to cause problems. For instance, acid in a trap in our first session caused 4d8 damage to the Wizard, but he'll be able to deal with that easily. It's almost like you need to smack them with 50+ hp damage. Some other conditions (like say weakened...from a poison that in 3e caused Str or Con dmg) will need to continue for longer, into the next encounter before being a problem.
As for Castle Amber, that's my all time favorite module, mostly for the banquet. :-)
Hmmmm...I wonder if that'd make a good Paragon level adventure in the Mournland. :-)

Winter is quickly approaching, bringing a whole new set of potential turf problems with it.
We have the old standbys:
- Leaves. I love watching the leaves turn color and gracefully flutter down with the wind and rain. What I don't like is seeing them accumulate on our client's lawns. After only a few days, leaves left on your lawn start causing smothering damage, which leads to all kinds of problems besides bare spots. Moss development, infestation of opportunistic invasive grasses and weeds and, with evergreen needles ( fir, pine, cedar etc.) lowered soil ph, are all byproducts of leaves left on lawns. So do your lawn a favor, make it a point to, if at all possible, get those leaves off your lawn on a weekly basis.
- Crane fly larvae. Last year's warm, wet winter did little to naturally control crane fly larvae. This year it looks we are in for more of the same. We have been noting exceptionally high numbers of adult crane flies mating and laying eggs. This years crop of larvae are going to be causing significant damage to turf. If you're already on our control program you will be fine. If not, your applicator will let you know if you have a problem. BUT, he only sees your lawn once every 6-8 weeks. If you aren't on the control program and notice distinctive thinning and/or a lot of birds poking around your lawn, you probably have crane fly larvae. Call the office so we can determine the proper course of action.On the more exotic side: Pink Snow Mold. Interestingly, even with such a mild winter last year, we did see several cases of snow mold in client's yards. In mid December we had several consecutive days with heavy morning frost which is conducive to snow mold formation. Although there is no practical preventive measure for control of snow mold, there are some simple, physical measures to minimize the long term damage. Most notably is using a leaf blower to fluff up the damaged areas. If you have this problem this winter, your applicator will let you know, or you can call the office.
- Leaf Spot, Red Thread, and Rust. Although these are all very common fungal problems, we generally do not see extensive problems with them in the winter. But another mild, wet winter changes the game, creating conditions more conducive to these diseases. The good news is, we can generally control these diseases with proper, regular fertilization. This means it is vital not to skip any winter applications.
We are adjusting how we do things at Tuff Turf to keep up with the changes and challenges of landscape care in the Northwest. You can depend on us to continue to deliver the same outstanding service our clients expect.

For non fans, I'm not sure how it would go, but probably 4 stars. Would people who don't know Ivan understand the complaint of Ivan's boss? The boss asked why Ivan's mother asked him about Ivan's personal life instead of asking Ivan. Ivan responded, "Experience, maybe."
There are gems all the way through the book for fans and non fans. It is mentioned that on Barrayar people were subjects, not citizens. Someone notes that the emperor is the only one on Barrayar that isn't a subject and wonders if that makes him an object. Humor abounds and all sorts of characters from previous novels make cameo appearances. Bujold sensibly keeps Cordelia, Miles, and Mark largely out of the picture, because they tend to dominate. The plethora of minor characters would be a problem for a new reader of the series, but are enjoyable to people who've met them before.
Bujold had a difficult task in this book. She has a hero that is not an overly ambitious man, and she made him sympathetic and enjoyable. Ivan is shown at his best. He is brave, loyal and chivalrous. He comes through when he needs to. He's not as bright as Miles or Cordelia, but he isn't stupid.
I would not advise people who haven't read Bujold before to start here, although her writing has never been better. If you haven't read the Vorkosigan series, there are a number of good books waiting for you.
Lord Ivan Xav Vorpatril has nearly managed that several times in his short life. The earliest such occasion occurred about an hour before he was born, during an attempt on the throne of Barrayar in which his mother and father were caught by forces loyal to the pretender. His father died while friends tried to rescue them; his mother managed to escape with them and give birth to Ivan while in hiding afterwards.
So, given that early pre-natal conditioning as it were, Ivan has spent most of his life trying to avoid politics or attracting too much attention to himself while attempting to live a comfortable life. Not an easy task for someone potentially in line for the throne, and made even less easy by his manic cousin Miles Vorkosigan, who has an absolute genius for attracting chaos in his wake - and dragging Ivan into it. And it doesn't help that Ivan's determination to avoid living up to all of his potential too visibly is made all the more conspicuous by contrast with the friends and family around him.
By age 34, Ivan has managed to work himself into a fairly comfortable position: a taste for good food and drink, comfortable lodgings, and a job as Captain and aide to a high ranking admiral in the Barrayarran armed forces where he serves ably. A certain amount of status, a job challenging enough to be interesting without the headaches of high rank, enough leisure and status to attract a fair number of bedmates on a regular basis, and distance from his mother, who is still waiting for Ivan to get on with his life. True, most of Ivan's old girlfiends seem to have all gotten married. Even his cousin Miles has managed to settle down and start raising a family.Read more ›
The last 30 or so pages are an absolute riot.

With just three holes left in the rain-hit second round at Oak Hill Country Club, Simpson was seven under for the day and on track to join 23 other players who have fired 63s in golf's elite championships.
However, the 2012 US Open winner stumbled on his 16th hole, the seventh, when he hit a tree with his approach on the way to a bogey five and had to settle for a six-under-par 64, which equalled the course record.
"I was certainly thinking about it, once I birdied six," Simpson said.
"I was thinking about the all-time Major record, and I was about 99 percent sure it was 63. It's so hard, because on one hand, you want to go for it. You want go for the record.
"But you can't do that on a golf course this hard and I wasn't doing that at any point today. I was trying to be patient and trying to be conservative."
Simpson did not say a single word to his experienced caddie, Paul Tesori, about a possible 62 as they negotiated their last three holes on a rainy day at Oak Hill.
"I knew he was thinking about it," said Simpson, after posting a four-under tally of 136 to sit three strokes off the early lead held by Masters champion Adam Scott.
"I didn't want to talk about it because I thought it would be the wrong thing to focus on coming in. This game is so funny, when you try to make birdies, it seems like you don't.
"It was there (the thought of a 62). It's like the elephant in the room; I knew he was thinking about it. I haven't even talked to him, but I'm sure he was too."
Simpson, who clinched his maiden Major title at last year's U.S. Open, covered his last nine holes in three-under 32 to remain in contention for a first US Tour win this season.
He was especially pleased to cap a gutsy fightback at Oak Hill, having been struggling at five over after eight holes in Thursday's opening round.
"It was a pretty low moment for me," said Simpson, who has recorded four top-10s in 19 starts, his best finish a play-off loss to Graeme McDowell at the RBC Heritage in April.
"But I kind of had a pep talk with myself on the seventh green, and just told myself, 'One hole at a time.' I tried to get a birdie here, a birdie there, and somehow played the last 10 or 11 holes under par.
"I birdied 18 yesterday, which was huge for my confidence and two over felt like 64 yesterday after being five over, so I am extremely happy with my game today."
Simpson sank a series of clutch putts on Friday, including a 35-footer to birdie the par-four fifth, to maintain his surge up the leaderboard.
"All around, it was really solid," said the 28-year-old. "I made some great putts, and made some good par putts to kind of keep the momentum going.
"You know, it's a special feeling to have tied the course record here at Oak Hill."
Twenty-three players have combined to shoot 25 63s in the Majors, American Steve Stricker the most recent to do so in the opening round of the 2011 US PGA Championship.

History and the City of Worcester
The city of Worcester resounds with history and provides an ideal environment for the study of the past.
It is best known perhaps for its central role in the English Civil War. Worcester was the scene of its final battle when Oliver Cromwell defeated a Scottish army led by Charles II.
The city also boasts one of the finest cathedrals in the country. King John, famous for agreeing to the Magna Carta, is buried there. During your time at the University you will be able to visit the cathedral library with its priceless collection of rare books and manuscripts, including letters signed by Charles I.
The city contains beautiful historic streets and many buildings dating from the seventeenth century.
Teaching and Assessment
How will you be taught?
You will learn how to:
- Locate relevant, reliable information from the huge range of print and electronic sources available to you.
- Critically evaluate and synthesise complex historical arguments and relate them to the wider historiographical literature.
- Analyse and interpret critically a wide range of primary source materials.
- Develop the ability to communicate well informed personal interpretations in a confident, concise and coherent fashion.
- Prepare yourself for the workplace through CV building, work experience and volunteering opportunities and the acquisition of academic and professional skills valued by employers.
History modules are typically delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials and directed learning. Lectures are designed to introduce you to the historiography of the subject under consideration and to direct you to appropriate reading. Seminars are designed to encourage you to discuss your views on topics introduced in previous lectures based on research that you have undertaken in preparation for the seminar
Tutorial Support
Module tutors are available throughout the teaching semester for one-to-one tutorials. You can arrange such tutorials as often as you please.All students are also allocated an Academic Tutor whom you will meet regularly throughout your time at university. Academic Tutors will advise you in study skills, module choices, career planning and can offer support and advice if you are experiencing any difficulties that are affecting your academic performance.
The majority of assessment is by course work. While the most obvious purpose of assessment is to judge your ability to research and communicate historical knowledge, it is equally important that assessment strategies give you the opportunity to develop and acquire key transferable skills which will serve you well in the workplace.
Assessment, therefore, takes a variety of forms - essays, document analyses, oral presentations, book, article and film reviews, research proposals, examinations and a final year Independent Study (dissertation).
Meet the team
Here are a few of the current members of the department who teach on this course:
Prof. Suzanne Schwarz
Suzanne Schwarz's teaching at the University of Worcester focuses on the transatlantic slave trade and West Africa in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She also focuses on developing historical research skills for students through the study of regional and local history. She was the recipient of two student-led teaching awards in 2013 and 2014. Suzanne's most recent publication is Suzanne Schwarz and Paul E. Lovejoy (eds.) Slavery, Abolition and the Transition to Colonialism in Sierra Leone (Trenton, NJ: Africa World Press: 2015).
Prof. Darren Oldridge
Darren Oldridge is a specialist in early modern religious history, with a particular interest in witchcraft and the Devil. Darren teaches modules that reflect these interests, including 'The Early Modern World' and 'Witchcraft and the Devil'. More broadly, he is interested in the interdisciplinary study of the concept of evil, including its treatment in theology, poetry and film.
Professor Maggie Andrews
Professor Maggie Andrews is a cultural historian whose work covers the social and cultural history of twentieth century Britain and the representation of that history within popular culture. She was a lead expert on the BBC's Home Front series, marking the centenary of WWI, and has spoken extensively at high profile conferences and across a host of radio and television channels on this topic, particularly exploring evacuations and the role of women.

Cobbler John Bolen may no longer be with us, but the founder of the Blues, Jazz and Folk Music Society won't soon be forgotten. The first Cobbler's Coffee House, part of a BJFMS-sponsored music series, is scheduled to take place April 5.
Acoustic blues musician Paul Geremia, who has performed across the U.S., Canada, England and Europe, will be the featured artist for the coffee house event at Over the Moon Pizzeria on Front Street in Marietta.
Geremia is known for his finger-picking and slide styles on both six- and 12-string guitar, covering musicians like Tampa Red, Blind Willie McTell and Lemon Jefferson. He also performs on harmonica and piano.
Although he's primarily known for spearheading the effort that brought two major blues performance events to Marietta-the annual River City Blues Competition and River City Blues Festival-Cobbler John himself enjoyed playing acoustic-based music.
"I know my way around the blues, but I'm just not a blues performer," he once told a Times reporter.
John's widow, Peggy Bolen, said he liked to play and listen to a variety of domestic musical styles.
Fact Box
If you go
Cobbler's Coffee House featuring Paul Geremia
April 5 at Over the Moon Pizzeria, 170 Front St., Marietta. 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Tickets sold at the door, cash only. $8 for Blues, Jazz and Folk Music Society members, $10 for non-members.
"His main music interest is American roots music, which includes old-timey, bluegrass, folk, early acoustic blues and more," she said.
Cobbler John died on Feb. 25 at age 66.
Michael "Moon" Mullen, owner of Over the Moon Pizzeria and a longtime member of the Blues, Jazz and Folk Music Society, said John played there several times over the last couple of years. And Mullen, also a musician, noted he and John had often played together in the past.
"We would get together in various coffee houses, at Marietta College and in other locations," he said. "A coffee house event is a great way to showcase local and national talent. It's a more intimate and affordable experience for the audience, too."
Mullen noted the building in which his pizza shop is located was where the Blues, Jazz and Folk Music Society was initiated 27 years ago.
"So it seems somewhat appropriate that the first Cobbler's Coffee House event will be held here," he added.
Peggy Bolen is also a longtime BJFMS member and continues to help coordinate society events, including the coffee house series which she noted has traditionally been held at Daydreams Cafe on Putnam Street.
"We had to move the event from Daydreams temporarily," she said. "I believe we've done five of these concerts at Daydreams over the last two years. And we hope to do three this year."
As for putting Cobbler John's name on the coffee house series, Bolen said there had been some talk early on about renaming the annual River City Blues Festival "The John Bolen Festival."
"But I told them that John, being the businessman he was, would object to that because (River City Blues Festival) is already a great name that people relate to," she said. "I suggested that we call the cafe concerts 'Cobbler's Coffee House.' It has a nice sound to it. And I think he would approve."

this may be of some local interest
R.I.P. Don Lund
i will be honest, i did not know who Don Lund was until today when I read a Det News article about his passing.
Don earned 3 letters each in football, basketball and baseball during his time at Michigan in the 1940s. He was drafted in 1945 in the first round of the nfl draft by Chicago as a running back but decided to play baseball, which he played 7 seasons for the Brooklyn Dodgers, St Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers. After that, he coached Michigan baseball from 1959-62, winning a Big Ten championship in '62. He then went on to be the head of the Tigers' farm system until 1970, when he returned to the University of Michigan to work in the athletic department until 1992. He passed of natural causes at the age of 90.
Michigan is lucky to have had figures like this making up its rich history. We should take a second to send off a final thanks of HAIL to Don Lund, Wolverine.

OT: Tigers sign Rajai Davis
Tigers have signed OF Rajai Davis to a two-year deal, in the range of $9-10 million ($4-5 million/year). Here's a link to his stats page. And a summary from MLB Trade Rumors:
Davis, 33, hasn't played in an everyday role for the Blue Jays over the last three seasons, but has seen enough action to rack up nearly 1,200 plate appearances, recording a .252/.299/.369 slash line. The speedster has also added 125 stolen bases over that period. That batting line may not be particularly impressive, but his .297/.363/.455 line against left-handed pitchers dating back to 2011 certainly is.
Not a blockbuster signing, but I like it. He's got good speed, can hit for average, and looks to be about an average-to-below average fielder. I think this could turn out to be a good signing.
Baseball Hello: Karl Kauffmann
Just a day after gaining a big commit from an in-state southpaw in the 2015 class, Collin Goslin, the Michigan baseball staff this afternoon got more good news, adding the top in-state player in the 2016 class to its recruiting haul: Karl Kauffmann, a 6-1, 180-lb. right-handed pitcher out of Brother Rice H.S. Not only the #1 player in the state, Kauffmann is also ranked #6 overall in Prep Baseball Report's 2016 rankings for their 10-state region.
Here's what PBR had to say about him in an October piece about top players in each state:
A 6-foot-1, 180-pound righty that already sits in the mid 80s. Kaufmann, ranked sixth overall, pitches with poise, a smooth delivery and easy arm action. He has been up to 87 and shown an improved breaking ball this summer with tighter spin. It sits 73-75 now. He also shows smooth actions in the infield and good bat speed, but looks like more of an asset on the mound at this time. He has already received interest from nearby schools like Michigan and Michigan State, but is also on North Carolina's radar.
In addition to North Carolina and MSU, he had also attracted the attention of Vanderbilt, indicating how highly sought after he was. Needless to say, the commitment of Kauffmann amounts to a stellar start to Michigan's 2016 class. It also shows a continued tapping of the Brother Rice pipeline, with two other future Warriors-turned-Wolverines upcoming: 2014 signee Ty Kiafoulis and 2015 commit Nick Plummer.
photo of Kauffmann from PBR profile page
Baseball Hello: Collin Goslin
The Michigan baseball coaching staff, which has been actively pursuing a number of 2015 and 2016 pitchers, today landed a big one: 6-3, 180-lb. southpaw Collin Goslin—one of the top in-state players in the 2015 class. He attends Dearborn Divine Child, so with his commitment to Michigan he's following in the footsteps of two notable former Wolverines, Alan Oaks and Patrick Biondi. Goslin also continues a strong trend from the 2014 class of the Michigan staff stockpiling left-handed pitchers; recently signing with the Wolverines in that class were lefties Michael Hendrickson, Oliver Jaskie, and Grant Reuss.
In a Chris Webb blog item posted in October, Goslin indicated that Vanderbilt, Louisville, Michigan State, and Ohio State were the main schools recruiting him, in addition to Michigan; Kentucky and Northwestern had reportedly also expressed interest. His full list of offers isn't known, but he did pick one up from OSU in October. Webb said that Goslin has "a strong three-pitch arsenal led by an upper-80s fastball," and he also notes that Goslin has played quarterback for Divine Child for the last two seasons. (Note that Goslin's Divine Child teammate, Dion Henderson, who's mentioned in Webb's post, recently committed to Kentucky.)
Here's a more detailed scouting report from Prep Baseball Report, included in an October rundown of top left-handed pitchers:
Ranked third in the state, Goslin is a strong-bodied lefty with a projectable 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. He sat 86-88 at the Midwest Future Games and featured a mid-70s curveball that has swing-and-miss potential. He also mixes in a changeup at 78-79. He's a good athlete with some effort to his delivery and pitches from a high three-quarter slot.
PBR has Goslin ranked #43 overall in the 2015 class.
photo of Goslin from PBR profile page
Below are the PBR overall rankings (encompassing their ten-state coverage area) for Michigan's six 2015 commits. Note that Nick Plummer was recently bumped up from #30 to #20. Plummer and Goslin are PBR's #2 and #3 players from the state of Michigan in the 2015 class, so Erik Bakich and his staff continue to do well with their in-state recruiting efforts.

M Baseball stadium new FieldTurf complete: beautiful
The new FieldTurf at Ray Fisher Stadium at the Wilpon Baseball Complex has been completed and painted. It looks pretty nice. Really like the Block Ms.
I also notice the outfield wall padding with retired numbers has been removed. Perhaps they're redoing the designs to (hopefully) include all the championship years and not just put "35 BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS" and then the most recent year like it was.
Alumni Field is next. Hope they paint it up nice. Maybe an M in center field.
The new HD video board being tested while the work was being done on the field. Updated logos as well. Very nice.
Baseball Hello: Ako Thomas
Continuing to clean up in the Chicago area, Erik Bakich, recruiting coordinator Nick Schnabel, and the entire Michigan staff received more good news tonight, with word of the verbal commitment of Ako Thomas, a 5-8, 150-pound second baseman from Chicago's Mount Carmel High School, class of 2015. Prep Baseball Report had this to say about him in a July 2013 hotlist:
At 5-foot-7, 150 pounds, Thomas may be one of the smallest participants at the Midwest Future Games, but he plays big on the field. He served as Mount Carmel's starting second baseman on the Caravan's Class 4A state championship squad, teaming with shortstop Jerry Houston (Oregon recruit) to comprise arguably the best infield in Illinois. Thomas is a hard-nosed player who makes everything look routine. He also has a knack for barreling up baseballs and getting on base.
Here's more from PBR taken from an August rundown following the Midwest Future Games:
It's not often that a high school second baseman, much less one that is 5-foot-8, stands out. But Thomas proved over the three days that he can flat hit. He seldom swings and misses, and always seems to find the barrel. He led Team Illinois with five hits, including a leadoff double.
PBR also published a feature on Thomas in September—Diminutive Ako Thomas Not Limited by Size—that mentions him planning to visit Michigan in November and also having been in contact with Missouri and Iowa. Perfect Game mentioned Thomas in an item on a September event:
Ako Thomas is also an intriguing prospect. Listed at just 5-feet-8, 150-pounds, he hits cleanup in Gravel's batting order and has proven time and again he can handle himself well both at the plate and while patrolling second base. Thomas (2015, Chicago) was named the Most Valuable Player at the 15u PG World Series after hitting .455 (10-for-22) with 12 runs scored and five RBI.
"I was just feeling good; that was the best tournament I had that year," he said Friday. "I knew there was a ring in it for us and I really wanted to win that ring."
PBR has Thomas ranked #15 in Illinois and #69 overall in the 2015 class. I don't know his current Perfect Game ranking, but in late 2012 he was ranked #150 nationally.
Here are the PBR overall rankings (encompassing their ten-state coverage area) for Michigan's five 2015 commits:
- 8. Charlie Donovan (Hello post)
- 30. Nick Plummer (Hello post)
- 69. Ako Thomas
- 193. Nick Azar (Hello post)
- 217. Andrew David (Hello post*)

I remember reading in Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic that if you are truly passionate about something, you will make time for it no matter what. For example if you enjoy writing, all you need is 5 minutes a day to write something. Anything. As long as you are practising and trying. And if you keep practising you will eventually get better.

Brewers' Ryan Braun can talk and fly at the same time -- just ask Jeter
KANSAS CITY -- The NL set an All-Star Game record with three triples in Tuesday's 8-0 win and, with apologies to Rafael Furcal, the three-baggers struck by Pablo Sandoval and Ryan Braun were the two most entertaining of the night.
Sandoval's for obvious reasons. It was a bases-loaded job, and who doesn't love to see the man they call Kung Fu Panda in full sprint?
Braun's came in the fourth inning, and the entertainment value was a little more subtle. Maybe you noticed him yapping as he rounded second base with the baseball still being retrieved by right fielder Jose Bautista?
"I was yelling at Derek," said Braun, referring to, yes, Derek Jeter. "He was yelling for the baseball. I was telling him there's no chance you're going to get me, so don't even try to throw it to third."
He was chuckling while recalling the moment, which came on a night in which the NL could do no wrong.
In fact, Braun doubled in the first inning and nearly dropped another hit into right field in the second inning, but Beltran was able to catch it.
Had that dropped for a single, there was talk in the NL dugout between manager Tony La Russa and one of his coaches, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, about leaving Braun in the game as long as he had the chance to hit for the cycle.
"I think they would have allowed me to stay in the game," Braun said.

Greetings fellow WPers!
I've been using godaddy now for over a year and before I go jumping off them, I'm looking for a solution. I have 3 hosted blogs on my godaddy account, each in it's on MySQL 5.0 server. I do not get lots of traffic, yet all the site are slow- loading between 20-50 seconds. I have another blog I need to put and am considering switching.
All three blogs are running 2.7. I have even tried some caching plugins; didn't help.
So what I'm asking is, how can you speed things up on godaddy? If not, where else is a BETTER hosting place besides godaddy.
much appreciated for any feedback

Coolpix S8000 Camera dead?
Hi, I have a fairly new S8000 purchased in the US.
The camera is a great little unit......but only last week the battery appeared to die!
I bought a replacement unit, but still can't get the camera to fire up!
Any suggestions.....???

Definitely sounds like the unit is dead. If you're within store return period, get them to give you a new one. Otherwise you should still be in manufacturer warranty (most digital products are 1-year), so call Nikon USA for a repair/replacement.
Edited to add: I just realized you're in Australia. Hmm. Well, forget the store and Nikon USA unless you want to pay shipping, which is likely prohibitive. See what the Nikon regional office in Lidcombe NSW can do. As long as you have a US receipt, they should honor warranty service.

After some pricing comparison with other wholesalers, discount stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, eBay, Amazon, and even my own dropshippers/distributors, their wholesale prices are anything but wholesale.
They wont let you view their wholesale prices with out first signing up.
On the second day of my Free Trial, I was billed $199 for a one year membership.
I canceled the account just 3 days after signing up with them, only for them to tell me they cannot refund my $199.00! but they will gladly close my account.
I let them know the Guarantee Lowest Wholesale Price they advertise on their site, and that most of their prices are NOT wholesale.
Then they tell me oh we can't compete with WalMart and other stores! Why they advertise wholesale prices when they do not is beyond me.
Now they want to keep my $199. I told them that they will be hearing from my credit card company and possibly the district attorney's office, as well as reporting them to the BBB and other bad business sites.
This is one SHADY business. Charging during the Free Trial, Not refunding the membership fee after cancellation, and advertising "We Guarantee The Lowest Wholesale Prices" when they actually do not.

Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Also you would get the full years access. They would cancel the renewals so you wouldn't be billed again but I would put money down that they still let you use the service you paid for. So actually you haven't lost out on anything. If you don't use it, well I'd say that's you're fault for not taking advantage of it.
