Hey, my name is Brooks aka Sepherum and I lost my wallet w/everything in it. I have an eticket for paizocon and I'll be there on Friday morning. I do have an expired passport in good condition that the airline is going to accept for the domestic flight(I called to make sure). Is that cool to pick up my badge or should I copy the webpage or something from my home computer?
I'd like to thank Goblinworks for the attempt; the vision and the hard work. If a buyer is found there is no guarantee what direction they will go-if not,well there it is. The next obvious step for Paizo is a Pathfinder game along the lines of The Witcher, Dragon Age Origins, and especially Pillars of Eternity. There's no need to rush anything and there is a built-in market for the game and a rich world to exploit. A game whose mechanics are intuitively easy to follow for TT fans is still very possible without violating the OGL. A world building machine, cooperative online play, pvp, etc. I look forward to it. Game companies will be lining up for a shot at this opportunity.
I really love Pathfinder. I actually liked the ideas and options of the Advanced Class Guide-the execution, not so much. I wouldn't touch Mythic with a ten foot pole. My question is-are the rigors of a production schedule having a serious effect on the quality of Pathfinder products? I think that Mythic, the ACG and the Vigilante playtest (I know it's a playtest but it needed more work) were in such questionable shape they shouldn't have been released. People out there would add other things to this list I'm sure. Should Paizo rush out additions to the volume of new, untested rules instead of new content? I admit to having an axe to grind; I'd like to see a hardcover city book once a year along the lines of Bard's Gate or the Shackled City. Occult Adventures looks good to me but now I know Pathfinder fans who just aren't going to buy it.
Having read the playtest pdf a dozen times or more and played a pretty long session of dungeon crawl combat with an Avenger, I have a few ideas for the new class:
10th L Avenger 25 point buy for dungeon crawl (Way of the Wicked) combat only. Three long combats total. Gear from Core RulebooK. Shield of Fury, Armor Silence, Signature Weaponx2 (longsword & H. steelshield w/spike) +3 longsword-+3 shield; nat AC amulet +2. Str 20 (24 w/Bull's Strength potion), Con 16, Dex 14, 10s... 3 combats, none especially suited to my character. +2 init., 28 AC. Blink, multiple creatures w/ scent, multiple constant Detect Evils, AoES going off (Holy Smite [evil campaign; Syphilis the Bloody Shield of Asmodeus was lawful evil]). Although I got lucky with my 50% miss chance on the small army of Blink dogs (with a Shaman Blink dog leading them) and two of those hits were criticals, I thought overall I hit pretty well and did decent damage. I stealthed ahead invisible to test Startling Appearance and it was useful, I found, and would be a great combo with a friendly rogue or two. I was caught ahead of the party attempting this and hit by 8 (yes EIGHT) Holy Smites and obliterated. The party didn't want to pay to raise Syphilis and the DM didn't want me coming back with a fully geared char. So, I think from the standpoint that nobody cared about the health of a playtest character at the table and I didn't really get any help, the Avenger can certainly be an off-tank at least and contribute in pure combat. Startling Appearance is a good power in it's own right. I think the Avenger can certainly use more-better-synergistic talents to choose from but I expect that from the coming book. Choosing from a list of bonus feats for each specialization @ levels 4, 8, 12 and 16 might help- hell, I could really have used Skill Focus [Perception] there at the end. Peace, Sepherum
One problem that the Vigilante class has is the lack of a suitable milieu to exist in. I mean what every major gaming system has always had at some point: a fully detailed city. Not a gazetteer but a complete volume including a sand box adventure, tie-ins to other adventures, a website to submit home brewed modules, memorable npcs, a spin-off adventure path (not included of course) and appendices with urban specific spells, feats, new skill usages, a few monsters and a prestige class or two. Yep. A 120$ book. Here's where a Paizo staff member says, "Well, that's just not in our plans." It should be. Don't need a Bestiary 6. Definitely don't need a Pathfinder 2 (are you bozos insane?). You need Absalom: City of Ultimate Adventure.
Hello, I'm Sepherum and I was once very active on these boards. In fact mine was the first question answered on the video blog long ago. I don't think my comments belong on the official Goblinworks site. For about a year I've been a frequent lurker here, on the Goblinworks forums, Ideascale and other MMO websites. I'm very worried about the future of this game.
Looking at the map, I think that the introductory factions to precipitate pvp in EE are The Knights of Iomedae in the northwest, The Brotherhood of Silence in the center/east and the Hellknights in the south. Obviously the level requirement for faction membership will come later, as will the alignment system. Myself, I don't see a need for an advancement requirement for faction membership when it should be the new players entry into sanctioned player conflict. If players begin with 1000 rep then the only mechanical effect need be that npcs ignore players at -2000, as I believe has been stated. Fort Riverwatch, Thornkeep and Fort Inevitable will each have four trainers representing the mvp roles plus a faction npc. This opens up roughly two-thirds of players as potential targets but will discourage ganking close to one's homebase. I assume looting, grouping in parties, the attacker flag and the normal rep hit for killing someone in your own faction will be in place.
Oh, you can also discuss various aspects Pathfinder Online if you feel like it.
The problem is this: The whole structure of the game is reliant on player vs. player conflict to generate content because lots of themepark content is prohibitively expensive in time and money. Goblinworks needs player competition to have a game at all but wants to fine tune exactly how characters interact. That's a tall order.
Never thought I'd say this but trying to slog thru the SAD thread for a workable solution has convinced me that consequence-free pvp hexes are in our future, perhaps containing Tier 3 resources and treasure hoards. The idea of different types of hexes is already present.
I suppose caravans will be craftable objects that provide massive mobile storage and npc guards? With keywords that interact with player skills to gain speed, cover and bonuses?
I hope player-built training halls are responsible for all Tier 2 and higher skills and that the store never offers anything approaching the power of the best player-crafted items.
Hey I just wanted to throw out a few ideas and was afraid that they would get lost because of the recent toxicity of the forums (one locked and another in danger of being locked). Please don't use this thread to start blaming who got toxic first. Many of the people arguing have, in the past, actually agreed, debated in a non-insulting manner, apologized to each other, and apparently PM'd and spoken amiably on TeamSpeak. Ok, so, here they are.
...like constantly comparing Pathfinder Online to EVE and WOW. I realize Ryan Dancey is closely associated with EVE, I also know he has expressly stated PFO will not be 'fantasy EVE Online', just that Goblinworks will learn from the mistakes made by that game. Battle is going to be different. Hell, movement is going to be different. PFO will not have flight, it may not even have mounts. Do you realize how different having your army trudge across hexes towards where you suppose the fight is going to be is compared to a spaceship battle? A Dreadnought or whatever you call it in EVE can be permanently blown up; a 20 Merit Badge character in PFO rezzes and keeps fighting. I realize a POI or Outpost can be razed, but destroying a settlement is involved enough that it has been suggested that cutting it off from supply and excepting it's surrender is probably preferable. I thought maybe assasinating a general or settlement official at a crucial time might be similiar to destroying a command ship or something but then again, no it's not. However, at least EVE shows examples of organizational and leadership skill, which is very relevant.
Name: Inquisition of the Midnight Lord
I hope we get a lot of EVE transplants-clandestine or otherwise-in EE. We need the content. A lot of people who supported the Kickstarter are going to try the the game and quit 'cause there's nothing to do. Not enough 'adventure'(read: themepark content). There's going to be a lot more solo players trying the game at first than we think. Two things will happen to them, a lot. 1) They'll die. 2) They'll get numerous offers to join organizations they don't understand. It might be useful for npc factions to make some detailed options available from the get-go. Pvpers are going to camp escalation zones. Why wouldn't they? It may be beneficial to have a couple further out from the starter areas. I perceive-and I could be wrong here-that based on the latest blog that GW has given up the idea of allowing players to 'gift' rep which will halt a lot of abuse. And finally, I don't see how a zerg strategy could work as effectively in PFO as in EVE-one account can't manufacture the equivalent of a ton of disposable ships, no? Anyone else care to peer into the Orb with me? Any premonitions are welcome.
I would like to humbly submit my nominations for the Players' Council. I think it should be an odd number. I think it should represent different views, perhaps drastically so. I think nominees should show high character, mental acuity, a devotion to the success of PFO and the ability to express themselves nicely via the written word. Lots of gaming experience is crucial. Obviously, no disrespect to anyone not included; witness the calibre of these nominees (in no particular order): AvenaOats; Being; Hobs the Short; Nihimon; Bluddwolf; Harad Navar; Hardin Steele; KitNyx; Jazzlvraz. I'm sure Goblin Works will have their own people in mind from an outside-of-these-boards perspective; that's cool. I welcome any input. Don't be afraid to nominate yourself!
A few walls of text by Mr. Dancey have shocked many on these boards regarding how Pathfinder Online will be played. I'm not understanding the level of surprise. From the beginning the content has been portrayed as character generated; not a WOW pvp server fight over fields of enchanted tulips (tho, of course this will happen) but the struggle of player organizations, settlements and kingdoms for resources, power and domination. The diplomat, travelling merchant, solo monster hunter, etc. will have little to do until this metaconflict is on the path to development. When EE begins, it seems to me wise to build characters towards the end of creating strong, survivable settlements. This opens the door for other playstyles and serves to augment any strategy to deal with the Open Enrollment barbarian invasion.
Reading over all the posts and all the ideas regarding pvp, SAD, Bounties, etc., I thought about the maybe overlooked role that NPC guards will play in PFO. Not the powerful Marshalls that will guard the safer areas, but the npc guard upgrades we read about. Can you upgrade a caravan to have guards included? How many and how strong? How about guards for a carriage transporting a non-combat orientated crafter PC? NPC guards for a construction site? With lootable goods and destroyable structures, even a large CC will need auxilliares considering RL responsibilities, IMHO. Perhaps a menu of different tiers/classes could be offered with an upkeep and/or equipment level cost associated with them. I recall that the guards in Stormwind were good enough to protect the king if a couple of us showed up to support them. This would be Horde attacking at 3am of course.
...if the skill paths/archetypes/'classes' are going to mirror Pathfinder. Bear with me. I'll try whatever game the devs come up with. The alignment component seems essential to the game already-as it is in pnp Pathfinder. Thus the only true healers are good-with access to positive energy channeling, spontaneous casting of heal spells and many ameliorating domain powers. Evil clerics can only heal...undead. Neutral clerics do the alignment tap dance. To compete on the battlefield evil orgs must use undead, enslaved divine casters and lots of neutral buddies. Ever tried to DM a campaign and the players didn't have a dedicated healer?
I read the last three blogs with great interest. It seems to me the system(s) of flags and the scores based upon the two alignment axes are a solid foundation for meaningful player interaction and the goal of pvp w/o frequent griefing. I realize the devs and many in these forums have already invested some time and thought to the mechanic, but why a separate reputation score in addition to alignment and flagging? The Rep system would be ripe for abuse and metagaming in ways that have already been discussed. It also adds to the complexity of an already complex game. What about adding an 'Oathbreaker' long term flag for not honoring contracts? This along with the Betrayer and Murderer flags which I think are being considered but not yet fleshed out. Doing away with Rep would also negate the idea (which I believe to be nonsensical) that a Lawful Evil settlement cannot build certain prestigious and useful structures. I don't see why the default character setting should be moving towards lawful; PCs could choose to slowly raise their scores along the law/chaos axis by logging out at lawful or chaotic inns/hideouts/forts/settlements with which they have good standing (no criminal, betrayer, etc., flags). At least tie the proposed Rep gain to such a mechanic. A PC could start at Neutral and would immediately have a reason to interact in order to shift her/his alignment to whatever desired. This, I believe, would augment the player-driven storyline from the get-go. Thanks for reading my post this far.
I think the question of how the alignment system will work in PFO is important enough to warrant it's own thread. It will effect every aspect of gameplay from pvp, contracts, chartered companies, transactions, settlements, npc relations and declaring war. I could go on. I've always believed the alignment system in tabletop Pathfinder (or D&D, for that matter) was /is broken and subject mostly to the tastes of individual DMs. Yet the developers have stated that in this way perhaps most of all PFO will mirror the tabletop version. Exactly how this is implemented may be the most important factor in determining whether PFO ultimately succeeds or fails. I'd like to submit two observations. First, a true neutral settlement would not have to admit all members regardless of alignment. According to the table on p.166 of the Core Rulebook, diagonally situated alignments on the chart are two steps from neutral not one. This would exclude lawful good, chaotic evil, etc., yes? Secondly I've never seen chaotic evil played successfully. In the online version it could be an npc alignment for individuals and brutal, disorganized groups or a 'warning' to a pc who is about to receive sanctions of some sort.
So we know generally where we're gonna live, how we're gonna live and how we're gonna die. We've discussed, we've argued. So, what excites you about the prospects so far? Exploring content? Starting a settlement? Opening a business? Running around robbin' fools? Whatever? I'm most excited about being able to really specialize my character. I'm not talking about the 'holy trinity'-I mean really make my guy exactly how I want him. It always bothered me walking around Shattrath City in WOW with my raid gear, a set from the arena, and the highest dps cloth a player could make himself and then see, well, the exact same guy, different race maybe. Over and over. So, more arena and join bigger raids? God it got boring, for my friends too. In PFO, they will start with 11 archetypes with all the requisite options and then skills anyone can learn, it seems. With multiclassing, you can be pretty unique, suited to the role you want to play. Relatively speaking, of course. I'm thinking Monk/Sorcerer or Monk/Cleric. Start a family guild or join one. Maybe be a bounty hunter or hired guard. What do you say?
Just recently I discussed how excited I was to try Pathfinder Online with my gaming group. Two rather salient points came up. 1)When the server population expands, new players will be in competition with powerful, established players and player-run organizations for resources and land. 2)When the game itself expands, these powerful entities will be perfectly placed to quickly dominate the new content. Both of these concerns are heightened by the apparent fact that there will not be large'theme park' areas safe from pvp in which to skill up or level or whatever it's going to be called. So, two things. Soloers, a large portion of potential players, (including me) will be hedged out. New players will be compelled to join an already established corporation to survive, which is the main complaint I've always heard about EVE online. To put it succintly, my buddy said, "Sounds to me that the Power Gamers will eat that one up from the start. I'd rather just buy the next Adventure Path and run that." Comments/suggestions/mechanics to avoid? Or is this game limited to players with a certain playstyle?

You can view interactive map on Great Lakes
Researchers working on the Great Lakes Environmental Assessment Mapping Project (GLEAM) spent more than three years collecting data to create a computer-generated "threat map" to itemize a laundry list of the most serious problems on the Great Lakes and ways to alleviate them.
Current efforts to address these problems have relied on a piecemeal approach that targets each threat and location one by one. The high-resolution map of the cumulative stressors and the benefits of ecosystem services that are threatened can guide local officials and citizen groups to collaborate on the best lake-wide restoration, conservation and management efforts.
It merges data for 34 individual stressors, including coastal development; agricultural and urban pollutants carried by rivers; fishing pressure; invasive species; climate change; and toxic chemicals. The Great Lakes ecosystem's benefits and their economic value are estimated in the tens of billions of dollars each year for birding, beach use, recreation, commercial fishing and boating.

In some ways, the French Open was predictable: Rafael Nadal won the whole thing. In other ways, it was far from it. Roger Federer lost sooner than expected, the Queen of Clay stuttered, and a scrappy Italian with a big smile made history.
What did we learn from the tournament? Here are seven things from the seven rounds:
First round: Gasquet is the lead in Groundhog Day
Where have we seen this before -- Richard Gasquet blowing a two-set lead at a Grand Slam? Was it at this year's Australian Open, last year's Australian Open or Wimbledon 2008.
Wait, it was all of the above.
Not content with squandering advantages against Mikhail Youzhny, Fernando Gonzalez and Andy Murray, respectively -- an admittedly talented trio -- Gasquet buckled again versus the Scot.
The tormented Frenchman claimed he had nothing left in the tank for the final 2½ sets against Murray after playing a long three-set final in the French Riviera two days earlier. He took a pop at organizers for not giving him an extra day to recover, although he seemed to forget they did him a favor by sticking him on Court Suzanne Lenglen, away from the Center Court cauldron. (Gasquet can't handle the pressure of playing at Roland Garros.)
Murray, rightfully, questioned why Gasquet chose to compete at a tournament a week before the French if he wasn't prepared for the quick turnaround.
Gasquet always has an excuse. He'll never change, and more importantly from a tennis perspective, never reach a Grand Slam final.
Second round: They don't need lights
Who needs lights at the French Open when darkness will do?
In what is believed to be the latest finish in tournament history, Gael Monfils and Italian clay-court specialist Fabio Fognini were finally hauled off Philippe Chatrier at 9:55 p.m. local time on the opening Wednesday. Adding to the drama, it was 5-5 in the fifth set.
"In my 30 years of tennis -- watching qualifiers, Grand Slams, whatever -- I've never seen a match played in that kind of darkness," said ESPN analyst Darren Cahill.
Fognini drew the ire of the crowd -- or what remained of it -- for wanting to stop roughly 25 minutes earlier, at 4-4. Chair umpire Carlos Bernardes finally got fed up of his stalling tactics and hit him with a point penalty. When they returned the next day, Fognini had the last laugh, prevailing 9-7.
The saga overshadowed Monfils' poor play. Like countryman Gasquet, he blew a two-set-and-break lead. Monfils played ultra-conservatively from the baseline, content to soak up pressure instead of taking the initiative.
Third round: Rome is one thing, a Slam is another
Who was the second-hottest player on clay this season? David Ferrer.
Besides winning a title and reaching another final on the Latin American clay-court swing, Ferrer got to the semis in Madrid, Barcelona and Monte Carlo, and went one step further in Rome. His draw in Paris suggested a quarterfinal showing, at worst.
Ferrer came unglued against the unlikeliest of opponents, Jurgen Melzer, and in straight sets. Melzer has always had the talent to trouble the elite, but between the ears has been a problem.
Boosted, Melzer finally reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, rallying from two sets down against the slumping Novak Djokovic. He went out (as usual) swinging against Nadal in the semis.
Fourth round: Henin isn't the old Henin
This was supposed to be Justine Henin's Slam, since she had won 21 straight matches at Roland Garros.
But Henin hasn't fully mastered the art of the comeback, unlike fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters. Henin looked nervy in a three-set defeat to eventual finalist Samantha Stosur.
"When you come back at this level after two years off, you know it's not going to be easy to deal with a lot of situations, and that means I still have to work harder and see it as a big challenge," Henin said. "I took this year as a year of transition, so of course it's hard, but in another way it seems a bit normal."
The seven-time Grand Slam champion continues to glance at Carlos Rodriguez incessantly between points, he continues to coach from the stands, and against Stosur, Henin annoyingly uttered "allez" after "allez" when her opponent missed.
Wasn't Henin supposed to have matured on court?
Quarters: Every streak must end
Among Federer's numerous achievements, reaching 23 straight Grand Slam semifinals is up there. The streak, realistically, had to end sometime, and it was most likely to transpire in Paris.
A year after being toyed with in a French Open final that completed Federer's Grand Slam collection, Robin Soderling ended his 0-for-12 skid against the Swiss by winning in four riveting sets. The slow, heavy conditions hurt Federer.
That said, Federer was flawless in the opening set, hitting 16 winners and only three unforced errors. Soderling's serve picked up, he saved a set point in the third with an outrageous backhand smash -- impressive enough was Federer forcing him to play a shot -- and overturned a 40-15 deficit to break at 5-5 in the third. Not a bad way for Soderling to follow up his 2009 upset of Nadal.
At least the quarterfinal streak remains, as Federer pointed out.
"I really felt like my tennis was good enough to come here and do it again, but that wasn't the case today," Federer said.
Given he'll be nearly 30 next year at this time, the odds are against Federer reaching another French Open final.
Semis: Elena just isn't meant to win one
In the women's game, Elena Dementieva and Dinara Safina are the two best active players never to have won a major. Although there's still hope for Safina (so long as she gets healthy), the same can't be said of Dementieva.
The French draw opened up nicely for the Russian. And despite being hampered by a calf injury, she managed to reach the final four. That was where the road ended.
Dementieva, almost in tears on court as the pain escalated, retired trailing Italy's Francesca Schiavone 7-6.
She's 0-6 in her last six Grand Slam semifinals.
"I really wanted to go and play, and even with the pain, I was waking up every morning and couldn't really make a first step," Dementieva said. "It was that painful. But I really wanted to play because it's a very special tournament for me. So I was pushing myself very hard to go through the pain. I couldn't do any better."
We all know what happened in the final. Schiavone's smart, flawless and beautiful tennis made her one of the sport's unlikeliest Grand Slam champions.
Final: Rafa is back
There were times during the French Open when Nadal didn't seem invincible. He looked ragged against Lleyton Hewitt, down a break early, did just enough in each set to top fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, and bizarrely blew a 5-3, 30-0 advantage in the third set against Melzer. Eventually taken to a tiebreak, Nadal almost let that slip.
Given the way Soderling was crushing the ball -- and taking into account last year's eye-popping result -- more than a few were expecting a tight affair in the finale.
It didn't happen. Nadal played some of the best defense of his career, transitioned from defense to offense wonderfully and bested Soderling mentally to win a fifth French Open crown.
"He is very difficult to play against," Nadal said of Soderling, "because he has a big serve, very flat shots, very good shots from both sides, and is very difficult to control. Today I felt great physically. I felt perfect mentally, too."
Nadal didn't drop a set.
In this form, he's the favorite at Wimbledon.

Dr Morisset, chiropractor and spokesperson for l'Association des chiropraticiens du Québec
The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek and means "done by hand".
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls all of the body's cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Any disturbance in the nervous system will cause problems in the body's health balance. The goal of chiropractic is to help the patient's recovery and to maintain a healthy body by interacting with the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems. The attention is focused on the diagnosis, the treatment and the prevention of illnesses and injuries.
The philosophy, art and science of chiropractic revolve around preserving homeostasis (balance) of the human body and its natural self-healing capacity. It doesn't concentrate only on symptoms and pain, but also tries to identify and treat the cause of the problem.

Maccabi GB names EMG junior football squad
EMG Maccabi GB will send an 18-man junior football squad to the 13th European Maccabi Games in Vienna next July.
Managed by Joel Nathan, the squad has been whittled down from 70 applications nationwide.
Nathan said: "I have chosen the best 18 Maccabi affiliated footballers. The squad has been chosen based on its balance and flexibility with the ultimate goal of bringing home the gold medal.
"However just as important is for the squad to understand and be a part of the whole cultural and educational experience that will also be a major part of the games."
"The success of the squad will be determined by various factors including pre-games friendlies and training sessions but more importantly the team bonding that will develop over the next 8 months. The coaches and I, along with the management team, will have them prepared to the highest standard possible."
Junior Football Squad: Grégoire Feld-Davidovici, Joshua Samberg, Stanley Offord, Marcus Olsberg, Casey Sharpe, Zachary Skry, Jake Bentwood, Jake Rinsler, Zachary Collins, Oliver Donne, Levi Levenfiche, Scott Oldstein, Rob Cohen, Sam Carson, Michael Kenley, Connor Perlmutter, David Seitler, Sami Zerovabeli

Billowing black smoke and bright orange flames rose from the horizon about a mile northeast of John Santos' house near Tanto and Bolton streets in northeast Amarillo. At one point, he saw what he described as a fireball.
"Something blew up over there," said Santos as he continued watching the scene from his street. "I just hope the wind doesn't shift."
He spotted at least two houses on fire in the distance.
"The flames just blew so fast," Santos said.
Residents in Santos' neighborhood worried that the fire burning north of their neighborhood would threaten their homes.
Amber Reyes left work Thursday morning and picked up her children - Brock, a kindergartner, and Macall, a third-grader - early from Mesa Verde Elementary School. Reyes wanted to be ready in case the fire headed her way.
"Just to be on the safe side," she said.
The fires were troubling. Reyes and her children witnessed the destruction of property, homes and buildings.
"I feel bad for them because their house is on fire," Macall said while viewing a flaming structure in the distance. "It's sad because people live down there."
Fire officials told officials with the Amarillo Independent School District that Mesa Verde and nearby schools were not in danger Thursday, district spokeswoman Becky McIlraith said.
Driving home from work, Brenda Carreathers could see the white and black smoke blanketing the sky.
"It's scary," she said. "I thought it was my house. I thought it was closer than it was."
Nearby residents along Vernon Street brought out sprinklers and hoses to wet down their back fences and a field behind their homes.
"This tall grass got me worried," said Barbara King, who lives at the corner of Mesa Verde Drive and Vernon Street. "If that field catches, there's no stopping it."
King runs a day care out of her home, and she started receiving calls shortly after her parents learned of the fires. At first, the fire was just a puff of white smoke, she said.
"Then a little brown," King said. "It'd go black. You could tell it was just changing."
The fire spread quickly, King said. Every now and then after noon, a new column of black smoke emerged.
"It has been so dry," she said.
While King's home remained out of danger Thursday, she could see the charred horizon.
"It breaks my heart," she said. "Grass grows back. Memories and homes don't."

Artist In Kiev Knob
3.95 was(8) USDorange
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by litar Very cute knobs but the paint has bubbles in it! Some of the paint on these knobs was applied too quickly and therefore the knobs have some paint bubbles and cracking (just like if you applied your nail polish too quickly). I can live with it because of where I'm using the knobs, but I felt the workmanship was shoddy on these. February 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Piemontese Beautiful and imperfect The knobs are as expected: beautiful and clearly handmade with imperfections in the paint application. The screws are very long so they jut out a bit through the drawers and cabinet doors, but not enough to merit cutting the ends of the screws off. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swisschick Great way to change a look with just knobs I put these kiev knobs on my old solid oak china cabinet. They completely changed the look of the cabinet and I am getting so many compliments. Cost was also great compared to those at Pottery Barn/Restoration Hardware, etc....can't even compare...

And now, the purple Brett Favre book
I suppose it was inevitable, but a publisher is shopping a new Brett Favre book. Only this time, the book is all about Favre's tour of duty with the Minnesota Vikings.
Called "Purple Reign," the book's publishers offer this testimonial: "Just when you think you've seen it all from the gunslinger from Mississippi, he ends up on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minnesota to re-write the record books yet again. His path to purple was paved with unbelievable drama and suspense, much like the 2009 season. Follow the journey every step of the way, from the invitation he received to join a budding powerhouse with just one missing link ... through the miraculous finishes on the field ... and excitement off of it."
Now that's some purple prose. The book uses material and photography from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. »Read Full Blog Post(42)
Will the NCAA men's field expand?
SportsBusiness Journal is reporting that the NCAA has begun meetings with broadcasters about the idea of expanding the men's basketball tournament field.

The idea of expansion would take the current field of 65 teams and add another week to the competition, with the top 32 teams receiving byes. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
New dispute over Dairyland's greyhounds
With the shutdown of the Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha set for the end of the year, concerns have been raised over who will be responsible for the greyhounds expected to be left behind.
Robert Sloey, head of the state's Division of Gaming, said Monday that it was the responsibility of the kennel operators to work with the dog owners to arrange for the care of the greyhounds. Roy Berger, Dairyland's executive president, said the same thing.
But Linda Cliffel, adoption coordinator for the Central Illinois Greyhound Adoption group, which found homes for 542 greyhounds between January and October of this year, said both the state and the track's owners were "abdicating their responsibility." »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Mile suitor talking to IRL, NASCAR
Scott Quick, a Minnesota racing entrepreneur who is expected to talk to Wisconsin State Fair Park officials soon about running the Milwaukee Mile, is talking to officials at the Indy Racing League and NASCAR.
Quick is talking to the major racing bodies to determine if they still have an interest in racing at the Mile. NASCAR has scheduled two races next summer, but those races are in doubt right now. IRL has not scheduled anything for next season.
Quick isn't talking to the media. Craig Barkelar, the fair's interim executive director, wouldn't talk about Quick, but said he expected there would be more to say in the next week.
It has been a rough year at the Mile, with one promoter leaving a big bill behind from last summer's races. Then, two different potential promoters were unable to seal the deal with the State Fair.
More information about greyhounds
Many people have e-mailed me about the current situation at Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha. As reported today, there is some concern on the part of greyhound adoption groups that a sizable number of greyhounds may be left behind when the track closes after races end on Dec. 31.
In the meantime, here are some links to groups working in behalf of the dogs.
One is called The Greyhound Alliance, and here is the link. The other well-known group is Greyhound Pets of America, Wisconsin chapter. Here is the link to that site.

WIAA is watching NFL's concussion policy
The National Football League's new stricter policy on concussions is being closely watched by state high school athletic associations.
According to the Journal of Athletic Training, an estimated 55,000 concussions were reported in the nation's high schools in 2005-'06. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Atheltic Association, the governing body for Wisconsin high-school athletics, does not keep tabs on concussions.
But according to Wade Labecki, the WIAA's deputy director, state athletic officials are keeping close tabs on what the NFL is doing. The WIAA has a medical advisory board that meets on medical issues. That board was scheduled to meet this week to discuss, among other things, concussions. »Read Full Blog Post

Clock is ticking on Mile races in 2010
At least officially, the Wisconsin State Fair and NASCAR say that the two races set for next summer at the Milwaukee Mile are still on the schedule.
The two races are the Camping World truck series race on June 18 and the Nationwide Series race on June 19.
"We still have the races on our schedule," said Ramsey Poston, a NASCAR spokesman. Craig Barkelar, interim executive director of the State Fair, said the same thing. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Iron, George Webb are partners
The Milwaukee Iron, the city's Arena Football One team, and George Webb Restaurants on Thursday announced a new corporate partnership for the 2010 season.
The agreement includes the "George Webb Restaurants' First Down", a special George Webb Restaurants/Milwaukee Iron food promotion at participating restaurants, and the "George Webb Restaurants' Post-Game Autograph Session," featuring the Iron players, coaches and mascots.
"Supporting our Wisconsin teams is a tradition at George Webb's," said Phil Anderson, president of George Webb Corp. "We are happy to see Arena Football return to Milwaukee and look forward to a long-term relationship."
The Iron has not released its 2010 schedule. (1)
NBA's Stern: Legal gambling possible
As SI.com reports this afternoon, David Stern, commissioner of the National Basketball Association, has opened the door a bit on the issue of sports and legalized gambling.

Dairyland has plan to remove dogs
Dairyland Greyhound Track owners announced Friday night the details of a plan in which each kennel operator would be given $5,000 as a way of making sure every dog is safely removed after the track closes for good.
The cash offer to each kennel operator - there are 12 kennels at the Kenosha track housing hundreds of dogs - was made after negotiations between track owners and state regulators. The dogs must be moved out by Feb. 5, 2010. The track is shutting down after races on Dec. 31.
Earlier this week, concerns had been raised by representatives of greyhound adoption groups, which have been aggressively trying to place dogs in homes before the track closes on Jan. 1, that potentially hundreds of dogs would have no place to go once the track closed. »Read Full Blog Post(17)
The Dairyland greyhound problem
Groups that have spent years working to place greyhounds from Dairyland Greyhound Track in Kenosha in homes around the country are still reeling from Friday's announcement that would give kennel operators $5,000 to move their dogs out by Feb. 5, 2010.
The groups, particularly the Greyhound Alliance, have called the cash offer from Dairyland owners "by far the most anti-adoption position ever taken by a track, resulting in a dismal future for very many greyhounds."
And what is that dismal future? According to the Web site, and a followup interview with Linda Cliffel of the Alliance, it "generally means moving the dogs out to low-grade tracks such as Caliente Mexico, where greyhounds rarely survive, or back to the farm which often results in euthanasia." »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Why Accenture dropped Tiger
As The New York Times and others report this morning, most people have no idea what Accenture does.

Ticketmaster-MU go interactive
Ticketmaster is working with Marquette University and the Bradley Center on a beta test of a new interactive seating program.
The new feature redefines what most consumers are used to seeing. When consumers go online to buy tickets, normally they are invited to find tickets that are "best available."
The new feature goes further. The new maps give consumers the ability to zoom in the arena and find seats that satisfy an individual need, such as an aisle seat or a corner seat. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
How Tiger affects TV ratings
In an interview on CNBC, Page Thompson, president of the Golf Channel, put in perspective the impact Tiger Woods' absence from the game will have on TV ratings.
When Woods doesn't play in an event, the ratings will drop "somewhere between 40% and 50%," Thompson told the network.
But Thompson also tried to see the upside of the scandal. Woods, he said, plays only about 15 tournaments a year.
Said Thompson: "What Tiger is about is the upside of the game. Tiger brings in casual fans for those 15 events that he plays in and those fans will be missing, but the core golf audience will be there and they're a very desirable demographic for advertisers."
National greyhound groups offer support
Two major national greyhound organizations said Monday night they would provide whatever assistance is necessary to make sure greyhounds awaiting transfer from Dairyland Greyhound Track receive proper care until adoption groups can find homes for them.
The two groups are the American Greyhound Track Operators Assocation and the National Greyhound Association. Leaders of both groups said will provide support in the form of grants, transportation and, if needed, temporary housing and care for greyhounds.
The development comes as two major adoption providers who have worked for years placing racing greyhounds in homes said they were feeling more optimistic that every greyhound will be safely removed from the track. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Big Ten may make a statement
The Chicago Tribune is reporting today that the Big Ten Conference may make a statement on Tuesday saying the member universities are looking to expand.
A league source told the Tribune that there was a "growing groundswell" of support among athletic directors for expansion.
The Big Ten added an 11th team in 1990 when Penn State joined the conference. (21)
No national racing at Mile in 2010
The Milwaukee Mile, the oldest continually operating motor speedway in the country, won't be hosting a national race in 2010.
That was the word late Wednesday from Wisconsin State Fair Park officials, who said there would be no NASCAR or Indy Racing League racing next year at the famed Mile.
"I'm sorry for this," was the message Susan Crane, chairwoman of the State Fair Park Board, said she wanted to tell race fans. "We tried to do everything we could to secure racing. But we're not giving up." »Read Full Blog Post(37)

Recession hits Bradley Center
The Bradley Center continues to be the host for the region's major sporting events, concerts and corporate gatherings, but the recession has had a big impact on the center's bottom line, new figures released Thursday show.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, the Bradley Center reported it lost $4 million, a decline of $1.9 million compared with the previous fiscal year. That loss includes an annual depreciation expense of $2.9 million.

The NBA's new promotional spots

Jerry Jones and the NFL contract talks
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, was interviewed last night by NBC anchor Bob Costas on the state of the National Football League. League negotiators, including Mark Murphy, president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, are meeting with negotiators with the NFL players' association.
Here's a partial transcript:
Costas: "I don't want to get you in trouble with the Commissioner again, he already hit you with a fine. But with the possibility of an uncapped year, and possibly either reduced or eliminated revenue sharing, are we looking at a radical restructuring of the business model of the NFL?" »Read Full Blog Post(20)

Candidates make their pitch to replace Beeman on Erie County Council
They talked about work ethic, enthusiasm and being prepared.
Each promised to take the job seriously.
And during a collective 100 minutes of interviews before Erie County Council's six active members on Wednesday afternoon, the five Republicans seeking to replace Ebert G. Beeman on council each proclaimed themselves qualified, capable and ready to serve.
"I'm a toughie. The public eye doesn't bother me," Waterford Borough Council President Karen Molitor, who also holds a law degree, told council members. "Our decisions should be open to scrutiny."
County Council, earlier this week, whittled a field of 19 applicants down to the five who were invited to make personal pitches on Wednesday. The interviews took place in the panel's Caucus Room at the Erie County Courthouse.
Those finalists are Molitor, 59; Corry's Dave Sample, 56, a member of the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority; Edward T. DiMattio Jr., 50, of Waterford, an unsuccessful candidate for County Council in 2009; certified public accountant Trish Shoulders, 43, of Edinboro; and Ray Overholt, 63, of Edinboro, executive director of Hermitage House Youth Services.
County Council is set to vote Friday, at a special noon meeting, on one of the five as Beeman's replacement. At least four of council's six active members must vote to approve the replacement.
Each candidate promised to be a much different representative for County Council's 6th District than Beeman, who was removed from office by a judge in the wake of his conviction and jail sentence on federal Social Security fraud charges.
The district includes most of southern Erie County.
Beeman frequently voted against any ordinance that appropriated funding.
"I'm one who will study things. ... I'm not going to try to be the obstructionist," DiMattio told council members.
Sample said he views the open council seat as an opportunity to serve the public in a different capacity. Sample also said he would resign from the Gaming Revenue Authority if appointed to the council seat.
The Gaming Revenue Authority was set up by Erie County government to evaluate grant requests and distribute money from a portion of the roughly $12 million yearly share of gambling revenue the county receives from Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Summit Township.
Sample also said he would have no problem voting for an issue or project that he might not personally agree with, but would be "good for the community as a whole."
"I'm analytical. I look at things. I try to process things," Sample said.
Shoulders said she has always been intrigued by politics and public service, and her accounting experience gives her deep knowledge of budgeting and finances.
"I feel like I would do a phenomenal job in a council setting," Shoulders said.
She told council members that she sees government's role as providing necessary services while "managing its resources closely."
Overholt, who runs a home for troubled youth, said he feels government "needs to be careful about being too intrusive. But there is a role for government."
Overholt described himself as a leader who excels at taking projects across the finish line.
"I'm responsible. I show up. I do my homework," Overholt said.
Council Chairman Phil Fatica said he was impressed by all five candidates.
"They all clearly had great credentials and the ability to represent themselves so well in front of us," Fatica said.
Council members are expected to discuss the candidates and whittle the field further at a Friday morning caucus session before the panel's noon meeting.
"I really have to think about what was said here, look at my notes and take a couple of days before we make a decision," Councilman Kyle Foust said.
Candidates were required to be registered Republicans from County Council's 6th District, which Beeman represented.

In Hong Kong, a Shift From Central to Kowloon
Hong Kong's hub is shifting.
For years, the epicenter of the city has been Central, where gleaming skyscrapers and luxury-goods stores mix with squealing double-decker trolleys and steep alleys packed with cobblers and dim sum shops.
But increasingly, companies in this tightly packed district and surrounding area have started to spread out. The city is looking across Victoria Harbor to Kowloon, the peninsula at the tip of mainland China, at two emerging business districts that already have attracted some big names in finance.
The problem for Central is that the total amount of office space has remained constant at about 23 million square feet for a decade, according to CBRE Group Inc., CBG -2.64 % much less than the size of Midtown Manhattan and London's West End.
Meantime, rents for the 13.7 million square feet of top-tier office space there have quadrupled in that time, making Hong Kong among the most expensive in the world. Although rents in Central have declined recently, Class A space fetches about 100 Hong Kong dollars (US$13) a square foot per month.
One of the main reasons for the atrophy in Hong Kong commercial real-estate construction is that many buildings in Central are owned by several owners on a floor-by-floor, or even unit-by-unit, basis. That makes it difficult for developers to replace the hundreds of tall, narrow buildings that give Hong Kong its distinctive "pins-and-needles" skyline. In cities such as London and New York, as these types of buildings have grown obsolete, they are replaced with towers offering the larger floor space that major corporations prefer.
In other cities, "there'd be swaths of redevelopment, but not Hong Kong," said Ed Farrelly, Hong Kong research director for CBRE.
That is making Kowloon an appealing alternative.
The 118-story International Commerce Centre in the business district on the west end of Kowloon peninsula already is home to Morgan Stanley, MS -2.30 % Credit Suisse Group AG and Deutsche Bank AG DB -6.67 % , and more development is planned in the area.
Meantime, the government also has ambitious plans for Kowloon East, a gritty industrial neighborhood that includes the former Kai Tak airport. The amount of top-tier office space in this area has doubled to 8.9 million square feet in the past seven years, while a number of shipping and insurance companies, including Manulife Hong Kong, have relocated there.
Rents for top-tier space in Kowloon East are about HK$34 a square foot per month and about HK$90.50 in west Kowloon for comparable space.
But these two business districts will take years to develop, particularly because adequate transportation links have yet to be built in Kowloon East, which is expected to supply most of the future office space. The delay will leave Hong Kong short nine million square feet of top-quality office space by 2020, CBRE estimates.
That demand increasingly is coming from mainland Chinese companies, said Sherman Sit, commercial sales and leasing director at Knight Frank. Last year, for example, Agricultural Bank of China ACGBY -0.09 % bought a 28-story building in Central for $629 million.
The migration across the harbor to Kowloon has been picking up steam since the financial crisis in 2008. Overall, big banks have dumped 500,000 square feet of space, mostly in Hong Kong Central, according to Cushman & Wakefield, helping push down rents there by 11% in 2012.
"There used to be a psychological barrier, when everything used to be about Central," said Jonas Kan, a property analyst at Daiwa Capital Markets. "The barrier has been broken."
The International Commerce Center, which sits on reclaimed land, was finished in 2010. The area is slated for further development, including the construction of a high-speed rail link, scheduled for completion in 2015, to the mainland Chinese city of Guangzhou and beyond. The city also is building a $2.8 billion cultural hub there.
The old airport in Kowloon East was known for its harrowing approach, where planes passed so close to buildings that passengers could see laundry hanging, and pilots had to make a hard right turn just before landing. The airport was moved in 1998, and the city has been trying to spruce up a rare piece of open land ever since.
Back-office operations of several banks have relocated to the area. The city is funding street festivals, setting up an open-air concert venue under an elevated expressway, developing a waterfront promenade and planting thousands of bushes. A subway link to Central is scheduled to open in 2018.
Even though companies have come to terms with a move across the harbor, not every employee has been pleased. Most finance executives live on Hong Kong Island, many with just a short ride to Central. Singaporean Joy Kwek was an analyst at Morgan Stanley in 2007 when employees learned the company was moving to West Kowloon. She quit that job for one at Credit Suisse, only to find out that the Swiss bank was moving just upstairs from Morgan Stanley.
Ms. Kwek moved, too, much to the dismay of friends. "They said it was suicide, social suicide," said Chris Jackson, her husband, who works for a hedge fund in Central.
The couple, who have one child and another on the way, now say they love their neighborhood, just a few minutes' walk from Ms. Kwek's office, which they call more "stroller-friendly" than the steep inclines of Mid-Levels, an upscale neighborhood adjacent to Central. And, they note, Central is only a 15-minute subway ride away.
But even as Hong Kong pushes forward to cultivate new districts, said Gavin Morgan, international director at Jones Lang LaSalle, JLL -3.02 % the city shouldn't forget its strength—the sheer, unrivaled compactness of the place. Unlike London or Beijing, where it is possible to have four meetings in a day, he said, in Hong Kong, you can have as many as seven.
"Businesses love Hong Kong because it's incredibly efficient," said Mr. Morgan. "Most everywhere else in the world sprawls, but Hong Kong rises. There's nowhere else like it."

Museum fundraiser; 'Fondy Soulbration' market; 'Walk, Run and Wag' 5K
Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

Though it's easier to email or Skype from war zones, many U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan continued the centuries-old custom of mailing letters home from the battlefront.
The things they wrote haven't changed since the Civil War, World War II or Vietnam — their fears and frustrations, sense of humor, longing for home and vivid descriptions of countries and cultures much different from their own. »Read Full Article

Usable Space exhibits the uncommon and poetic
Just last year I moved into a new studio space in Bay View, a strangely shaped space, carved out over time to serve the needs of many previous tenants. Now mostly artists' studios, it has been a tannery, an iron bed factory, a shoe-leather production facility and even a church, among other things. It hums with energy and history as you navigate awkward corners, unexpected passageways and doors.
I imagine that Keith Nelson and Michael Roberts had similar thoughts when they took over an old garage and converted it into Usable Space, a new gallery and studio space that had its first exhibit last fall. Some old buildings just grip you that way, and beg you to inhabit them with meaningful things, like art. »Read Full Article

Michael Jackson's 'Xscape' excels more often than not
It was inevitable. When Michael Jackson passed away five years ago, you knew it wouldn't be the last you'd hear from him. So now we have "Xscape," an album of eight newly released songs, recorded in the '80s and '90s, featuring fresh production but maintaining Jackson's original vocal recordings.
So is "Xscape" an honorable addition to Jackson's legacy or a ghost of previous glories? It's a little bit of both. »Read Full Article

Patel Nirali MGT 560 operations and supply management Question 1: Compare Wyatt's buffalo hunting to the approach used by the old timers? In older times, there was standard way of hunting. The buffalo hunter would typically have five four-horse wagons, with one driver, the stock tender, camp watchman, and cook; and four others to skin the kill. The hunter would provide horses, wagons, and supplies for several months. They would used Sharps "Fifty" rifle for shooting, which had capabilities for shooting at long range but it was quiet expensive and very heavy. The hunter would go to an area where they had a good view of the heard, and start shooting one buffalo at a time, if the slug went true, the animal would drop in his tracks or stagger a few steps and fall. This would means that lot of people were needed for entire hunting process. Obviously the costs of maintenance of rifles were high as it had to soak in water after every second shot. While Wyatt used one wagon, four animals for harness, and one for which he

in product purchase is mirroring based? What is the best process for returning data after recovery?
The first question is a bit hard to answer. I personally have not seen the massive move to DR systems that one might expect after such a tragedy. I do see people taking backup and recovery in general a little bit more seriously and discussing DR a bit more, but they haven't started moving wholesale to significantly increase the functionality of their DR solution -- YET.
The second question is impossible to answer without context. The answer depends on the customer placing value in the right place. For example: Which is more important, being able to get to your data moments after a disaster or being able to still make phone calls? Only you can make those decisions.

MADISON, Wis. — In the latest round of this week's dizzying federal court filings, U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Randa on Thursday morning quickly fired back at the prosecutors of a politically charged John Doe investigation, declaring their appeal frivolous and ordering a preliminary injunction halting the secret investigation reinstated.
Randa's ruling came swiftly, less than a day after the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals stayed the judge's preliminary injunction, issued Tuesday, that stopped the nearly three-year investigation and ordered all documents obtained in the probe destroyed.
The appeals court said Randa jumped the gun in issuing his decision before he determined the status of the prosecutors' appeal. In its ruling on the prosecutors' emergency appeal, the 7th Circuit said Randa erred in failing to certify that an appeal filed last month by the prosecutors with the 7th Circuit was frivolous.
