|Gaius Vekkhar
Since you haven't stated otherwise I'm going to assume that we are literally in a tavern of some sort.
Sitting in a booth by himself is a tall, mostly naked hobgoblin. Though he must stand over six foot, his lean body is hard and wiry. Clothed in a simple skirt that ends at mid-thigh and a pair of sandals it is easy to see that much of his grey-green flesh is covered in thick black hair. His face is striking for a goblinoid, rimmed about with a beard. His narrowed eyes take in the room as he nurses a largish drink. Resting on the table is a handwritten sign in common. It says Seeking lawfully minded partners for expedition to subjugate wilderness
Fionnbharanel ("Finn") almost bounces into the tavern, wearing a sun-blazoned tunic over her chain shirt. She bears a small scimitar at her belt and a small crossbow slung over her back. Her blue-black hair flounces as she walks and her grey eyes flash from patron to patron. Finally her gaze falls on Gaius and his sign. She reads and smiles slightly. Finn walks over to Gaius' table and climbs onto a human-sized seat, her short gnomish legs not quite reaching to the ground. "Hi there. I'm Finn. I'm not particularly lawful minded, but I agree some order is needed from time to time, especially in a totally chaotic environment like the wilderness. I'll bet you could use a healer on your adventures. Hey, Barkeep! I'd like an ale please! So what do you say?" She changes who she is talking to as fast as she talks, switching from Gaius to the barkeep back to Gaius again in a flash. She turns a winning smile to Gaius and awaits his answer.
Switched her alignment to NG so she can adventure more logically with all these lawful types.
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra gives the tavern door a shift kick with her boot as she enters the tavern. She bows her head slightly to allow her horns from striking the top of the door frame. She checks her two urumi's that are wound around her waste as she sneers at the barkeep and tavern "locals".
Mierra glances over to a small pair, and see's what appears to be a hobgoblin and a gnome and sighs as she reads the sign, her eyes light up as she reads the word "subjugate"
She appears to think something over before turning herself towards the table with the pair. She draws herself up to her full height of 6'1 as she strolls over.
"If you need something subjugated , I'm your woman. I have a... talent for subjugation" She smiles with her teeth as she sits down at the booth
The blue-haired gnome pipes up immediately after Mierra sits down, "Hi, I'm Finn... cleric of Sarenrae and aspiring adventurer. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Subjugator. Like I was telling tall, dark and gruesome here, I'm not much into law or chaos, I like a balance of the two, but I am a healer with a knack for making fire as well. I'd be good to have along on a foray into the wilderness!"
She takes a deep breath, followed by a sip of her ale. "You're very tall... nice horns, too. You must be a tiefling. I've heard of you before, but I've never met one. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra smile fades as she takes in the gnome with boundless energy, she may need to drink a potion of haste to be able to keep up with her.
"You seem to have a lot of energy; are all gnomes so... excitable?" Mierra laughs to herself. "Little Finn, you may call me Mierra. I consider myself an enforcer for my master. I believe you might know him, he's worked with Sarenrae before."
Mierra takes out the necklace that was ducked away inside her armor and shows the pentagram symbol to Finn. "No need to worry about your fire around me, I was born of it". Mierra smiles again with all of her teeth.
Finn smiles at Mierra. "Excitable? I'm not sure I'd call myself that, but yes I guess I do have a lot of energy. I'm looking forward to searching the west marches with a good group of adventuring types. This should be enlightening and enriching at the same time. I've taken no vow of poverty yanno." She gives Mierra a little wink.
She looks at the pentagram and her face takes on a thoughtful expression. "They did indeed work together in the past, bringing down the beast and binding it. No reason why we can't do the same. Work together that is." Her eyes sparkle again and she grins happily, sipping her ale.
|Gaius Vekkhar
Gauis takes them both in with a somewhat bored expression on his face, then issues a grunt. "Name's Gauis, read this over." He reaches over to a stack of birch bark, with crude charcoal writing on it. It looks similar to the sign. He takes one leaf and shoves it across the table to rest between the Gnome and the Tiefling. It reads as follows:
- You will submit to the leadership of Gaius Vekkhar
- All sentient beings encountered on the expedition will either submit to our authority, or be subjugated for use as chattel.
- All material goods found will be held in common, to be utilized by whoever can use them best. Currency will be divided evenly.
- Nothing discovered will be shared (locations, or information included) with anyone outside the group, except via sale as controlled by Gaius. Proceeds will be split evenly.
- Once signed on, leaving the group will be punishable by death. As will hoarding, thieving, rapine, or breaking the above rules.
Sign here _________
"If you're still interested feel free to sign at the line. We leave town once I feel the group is strong enough." After that he lapses back into silence.
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra looks down at the bark leaflet and laughs lightly to herself. She takes one of her long fingernails and taps the first point on the "contract"
"I'm afraid I don't submit to the leadership of anyone that I don't know or admire" She continues to tap ths first point as she thinks for a moment. "Answer me this Gauis, would you have signed this contract if I was the first one here and had my name as the leader?"
Mierra takes her long nail and begins to scratch out parts of the leaflet between her and Finn, she then carefully scratches in an amemdement and passes it back to Gauis. The contract now reads as You will accept the leadership of Gaius Vekkhar on a trial basis until he proves himself a wortly leader
Mierra smiles down at the hobgoblin "Do we have a deal?"
Finn laughs a little as she reads the note... and nods to Mierra as she speaks. "I have to agree with Mierra here, Gaius. Your leadership skills are untested, as far as we're concerned. I might be willing to sign on with you as a trial leader though. One more thing too... point five. Should have an exit clause, stating the agreement is only for while we are in the Marches. Once we return to Fallsvale, we are free to separate, leave the group, even go adventure with others.... or stay with the group as we please. I won't sign up for anything that's a lifetime commitment, which is what this contract is pretty much asking for." She smiles winningly at Gaius and Mierra, then shrugs.
|Gaius Vekkhar
He looks first to Mierra. "That is a reasonable point. I do have a plan, or at least the outline of one. I do not seek to own you, that is for others. I seek only status as first amongst equals, in order to raise us up to our rightful places of dominion. The ability to set the agenda as it were. You will find me a very hands off leader, especially with people of your caliber." Turning to Fionn he says, "You may leave the group, but you may never share the information or resources gained while with the group. If you choose to leave, you forfeit your portion of the wealth as well."
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra thinks for a moment and looks down at her birch bark leaflet. "As long as you accept my amended contract, I have no issue with you wanting to be first among equals."
Mierra takes the index finger on her right hand and pricks the tip against one of her urumi's that are wrapped around her waist. She places her bloody finger upon the line at the bottom and signs her name. Her bloody quickly fades into the birch and glows slightly like if on fire. Her signature is now clearly burnt into the bark.
Mierra nods slightly "With that business concluded, I'm getting a drink". She heads over to the bartender to get herself a drink.
|Tensen Wildmane
A man preceded by his musty scent, Tensen approaches the table where he sees a few individuals talking about an exploration into the wilds. His vivid green eyes look over each of them standing there, seemingly sizing them up. He shakes some of the dirt and twigs out of his untamed shoulder length blonde hair before picking up the contract and giving it a read.
"Hmm.. You think you even know the first thing about the wilderness? Answer me this, hobgoblin, what makes you so certain you are strong enough to subjugate it? How much time have you spent out there, really?" Tensen stands impatiently, continuing to try and assess Gaius' strength.
As you all discuss your plans, a uniformed man storms into the tavern and slaps a poster on the wall next to a crudely sketched map of what must be the Horizons. The poster says:
For the capture of Bawldok Greenham.
100 Crowns alive, 50 dead.
Wanted for larceny, murder, and general vagrancy.
The map has an unlabeled town squished between mountains, clearly representing Fallsvale, and a large X a ways off in the forest.
"Well, Gaius, I can appreciate a 'first among equals' basis, of course you've got to prove your worth, but you've the look and aura about you that you might well be able to pull it off. I'm willing to give you a try, under the amended agreement as discussed."
Finn pulls out a quill pen and ink and signs her name.
"May our first foray into the wilderness prove to be the first of many," she says with a smile.
She turns to Mierra and says, "You and I should discuss our spell selections to coordinate without too much overlap. That would seem the wisest course of action, anyway, if you're willing of course." She obviously doesn't mean to dictate action, but to suggest it only.
Finn looks over at Tensen and smiles at him warmly. "Hello, another tall-folk it seems, looking for adventure." She looks Tensen over and blinks, wrinkling her nose slightly. He could use a bath though... I wonder if he'd mind if I did a little prestidigitation on him... well, not without asking, but he could use it, nonetheless.
Finally, when the uniformed one walks in, she turns to look.. "Excuse me a minute," then hops off her chair to go over and read the poster. After reading the poster she returns and climbs back up on the human-sized chair and sits dangling her legs.
"Well, there's a reward for capturing a criminal... Something to do in the wilderness, a start anyway. Who knows what else might be found along the way. She looks over at Gaius to gauge his reaction.
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra wrinkles her nose slightly at the new comer and looks down to Finn. "Spells? Mierra shakes her head and unfurls her urumi's, her twin sword whips, "These are my spells, and the only thing I need!"
Mierra follows Finn over to the board to reads the notice. "A live capture is usually difficult. If we get more bodies to join us, it might be possible. But there is still a reward for a dead body!" Mierra smiles at that.
She grabs her drink and heads back over to the table, wrinkling her nose again as she passes the newcomer. "Hey Finn, you got any holy water you can splash on our new friend here?
my bad, Mierra - I had you confused with Rosa, ignore the comment about spells lol
No holy water on me, but I do have a prestidigitation spell that might alleviate the aura about him... but I hesitate to use it unasked.
She turns to Tensen. "Hello there, I'm Finn and well, there's a ... well, to be honest... you're not fresh as a daisy, if you don't mind me being forward. I can fix that in a jiffy if you don't mind... It'll take just a few seconds and doesn't involve water or anything, if you've an aversion or anything like that. Please don't take offense, but you are in a public place, yanno... " She trails off, as if aware she's probably said too much, but she gives Tensen her most winning smile.
|Tensen Wildmane
Tensen lets out a booming laugh as the two comment on his scent. "If your nose is already bothered, you will hardly last any time out there. I am Tensen, a shaman raised among lions. Lillith, my companion, sits outside eager to hunt. And if you think I have a strong scent, wait until you break camp with an animal for weeks on end! I will not linger here long - just long enough to gather companions for a hunt."
Tensen glances over at the posted capture request and smiles down at Finn. "Even a small one like you thirsts for adventure, it seems. If you are leaving promptly I will join, as soon as I get an answer from he would who lead. Fear not, small one, I have many doubts that the powers I call upon would overlap those given to you by your gods."
|Gimlet Bravo
A gnome with a lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) mask strolls in. The mask in the form of a lion and tiger together - a Ligre if you will. It obviously took Gimlet hours to get the shading on the eyes right.
"I am a master of the wild sorcery. I leave to hunt Bawldok now. Fionn, you seem to be able to heal, I can buff and incapacitate, let's grab some nongnomes and get on the road."
"Tensen and his companion and Mierra look to be good targets of my spell that puts them almost ten times their original mass. I am leaving as soon as two or more say they are in. I want to be in the FIRST group to claim a bounty. WHO IS READY?"
"By the way, it is Gnome versus wild, I only carry a single dagger and my magical arts."
Gimlet grabs a quick drink and looks at the poster.
"Tensen, can you get us there?"
Finn whispers to Mierra "I think that was a 'no thanks'."
Then she turns back to Tensen with her usual smile. You have a lion?... that's so neat. Can I meet her? Does she like gnomes? In a good way, not in a dinner way, I mean."
When Gimlet enters she grinz and waves him over. "Hello fellow gnome. What's your name? I'm Fionnbharanel, but everyone calls me Finn. It's good to meet an arcane caster and adventuring together sounds good... but Gaius here wants to be in charge, so we kinda agreed to go with him and let him say he's in 'first among equals'. But it looks like maybe we can get a group together despite him. Let's see what happens. He's been quiet for a while now."
|Tensen Wildmane
Tensen gives the new gnome with the Ligre mask a strange look before giving him a big smile. "A strange combination of animals, but both are fierce predators! If you do them justice I will most certainly set out with you. My skills in the wild are unrivaled - I can get us anywhere we need to be and keep us safe along the way."
He turns his attention back to Finn. "She is outside, yes you can meet her once we are ready to go. She is a proud warrior, but is often playful and would give you a ride if you dared to hop on.." he trails off and gives Finn a wink.
"Although the two of you are small, you seem to have the heart of a lion! I would go out with this strange masked gnome who has yet to introduce himself, and Finn as well should you choose. A man who hides behind papers to protect himself is not much a man at all, and this hobgoblin is quickly losing friends.. Shall we strike out right away? Or shall we wait on another to accompany us?"
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra looks at the exchange between the two gnomes and the smelly human from her seat at the table. She finishes her glass of water and adjusts her two urumi's around her waist. She glances to Finn and Tensen.
"I'm afraid that I already signed on with the illustrous Gaius here, and I keep my word, even if it costs me. Without order we would have chaos, and my master Asmodeus has tasked me with keeping order."
Mierra looks specifically to Finn. "I am not certain that Sarenrae has the same code of ethics, but if you leave with this group, then I wish you luck on your travels." She stands up to grab another glass of water, making sure to draw herself up to her full height of 6'1, her height augmented by her horns. She smiles at the group as she passes, making sure to show all of her teeth, almost seeming to snarl.
|Gaius Vekkhar
Looking at Mierra, Gaius smiles and says "You made the right choice." Turning to Finn he says, "You just signed a contract little one. That is binding. You owe me at least one expedition, or you have formed a blood-enemy before even setting out." Taking in Tensen, stench and all he says, "Subjugate the wilderness is merely a figure of speech my leonine friend. It is impossible to 'tame' nature, and that would be a fool's errand. I seek to bring order and some form of industry or productive society to the Horizons. One with your skills would be well met."
He considers the Reward poster for a moment. "It is unlikely that a bandit dangerous enough to require a reward will be working alone. Step one of The Plan is to aquire some slaves...Yes, I had hope for some Goblins or Kobolds as the first test of our group. But this will do nicely."
|Gaius Vekkhar
Standing up and coming right up to Tensen's face, their noses almost touching Gauis flashes his incisors and growls for a second. "I hide behind no papers. If you are so eager to hunt, sign your blood and lets be off. The four of us and a lion can certainly handle some bandits." Turning to look down at Gimlet he says, "As for you, we have no need of any clowns."
"Well, we could all go together, the five of us... how would that work?" Finn shrugs and smiles, as she usually does. "And as for signing on with you, I agree, I might owe you one expedition, but we also said it was revokable at any time, with loss of one's share which there hasn't been any yet... but that's beside the point, since I think we could all go together and make a fine team... two fighters, a shaman, a sorceror and a cleric. Who could stand against us?"
She looks at Mierra and gives a sheepish little smile. Sarenrae has ethics, but perhaps not the same code that you follow. But personally, I don't see why we can't make one group and all go together."
assuming Jacob will allow a group of five to adventure together rather than just groups of 4
"Gaius, I don't believe he's a clown at all, and having a sorceror among us can only be helpful."
|Gimlet Bravo
15 player max/3 parties max = 5 So I don't know what the three characters do if four parties of 3 are out?
"Asmodeus is not a friend of mine. I have found the devil and his followers to be quite.....nongood."
I could let a 5-spot slide this time. Usually I prefer 4, so just know that, if you aren't posting pretty regularly, I may just move on if the situation dictates.
As you discuss your plots, a grizzled, one-armed, hooded man in the corner pipes up in a gravelly voice. If you're going out west, your going to want some information. I'm the only person I know to ever come back from the wilderness. I haven't gone far, but I know things.
|Mierra Jayde
Mierra laughs upon hearing Gimlet's comment. She strolls back over to the booth with her full glass of water. She touches Gaius on the shoulder and tries to grab his attention from his stare down with Tensen. "Calm, we don't need any blood shed before the expedition"
She places her glass of water down on the floor in front of Gimlet and leans down so that they are closer. She places her fingers into the water glass and slowly begins to twirl them. The water around her fingers slowly begins to steam. She looks down at Gimlet with a smile.
"I am a devil, and Asmodeus is my master. If you are unsettled by individuals who are Non-Good, then I would suggest that you stay away from Gaius and myself. We both think of the World in different terms then do-gooders "
Mierra's eyes snap up at the new speaker. She gathers up the glass of water and walks over to the table of the old man. "And just how much gold are you going to charge for this information?! hmmm?
|Gaius Vekkhar
Replying to Finn, Gaius says,"Then why is he wearing a mummer's mask? Also, he didn't even bother to read the contract, and has shown no interest. Apparently he doesn't have a name either." Gaius turns to regard Gimlet. "Well 'master of sorcery' are you even interested in joining my enterprise? Do you have a name?" He turns back to Fionn and raises one eyebrow. "Yes, I agreed you could leave the expedition so long as you did not benefit from it. However, my intent was not that you would do so in less time than it took your signature to dry. The fact that you even considered such a fickle move makes me wonder if I shouldn't strike your name out myself. Are you even reliable?"
Since this is a play by post game I'm going on the assumption that this is all happening in about thirty seconds to a minute of game time. Gaius would have responded to them immeadiately, but I live in China and was sleeping. You have to give people a little time to respond in PBP. Also Gaius sees Gimlet as bouncing in and trying to scalp his new recruits, which he basically is doing. More power to him too, Gaius is not for everybody :P
Ahem...I charge no fee for my knowledge. I am but a simple tavern patron with a large repository of rumors about the world we live in. You may call me "Trope." As for my arm, it was the bugbear. He could have killed me, but he ripped off my good arm instead. The blasted thing did it just to spite me.
|Gaius Vekkhar
Seeing Chuffy for the first time, Gaius calls out "Və az cousin, bir padşah olmaq üçün maraqlı ola bilər?" Waving him over to read the contract.
"And you little cousin, might you be interested in becoming a king?"
"Not a friend of mine in particular either, but the dark one and the Dawnflower did work together to take down and bind the Beast. I could work with one of his minions for a joint cause from time to time. And I'm a do-gooder, too, Mierra, but I care not for law or chaos... If this is going to be a problem, then perhaps it is best if I go with them, Gaius willing of course. Perhaps we could find you another cleric of more suitable leanings for your group, and then it will all be no-harm, no-foul for all." Finn takes a sip of her ale and continues. I still think the five of us could work together for one journey at least - to find this miscreant Bawldok. I think we are all of a mind that he is worth bringing in to face justice, whether it's for the law, or the good of it, does it matter if share the same goal? If it doesn't turn out that we can work together, then we can amicably split up when we return to town."
|Gaius Vekkhar
Gaius leans over and scratches Finn's name off the contract. "It seems like your commitment is less than complete. I understand if you would rather have your options open, but I will not tolerate it in my group. We will have the strength of unity. Your offer to work together one time is interesting, I would consider a separate one-time contract for such an arrangement." He turns to Mierra and says, "Acceptable?" Looking back at Tensen he says, "You however are a man of the caliber I need. I can promise you endless ever-greater hunts, and position of respect within the pride. I am willing to make other promises as well, if it is required to command your loyalty."
Finn sighs and shrugs... "As you will, Gaius... perhaps we may end up working together in the future anyway. We'll see. I go where Sarenrae leads me. Obviously it's not with you this trip."
She hops down off her seat and walks over to Gimlet and sits down with him for just a moment. "Well, it seems like we are on our own unless Tensen decides to join us. I hope he does... I would love to ride a lion! That sounds exciting!" She sounds like her usual chipper self again as she talks about the lion.
Finn hops off her seat again and walks over to Trope and sits down at his table. "I'd hear what you have to tell about the west as well, friend Trope, and if you won't have payment, at least let me buy you a drink. What'll you have?"
|Gaius Vekkhar
Looking at the small masked Gnome he is still unsure what to call him. "Devil? Good and evil? Pfah! Concepts for children. There is only your Will and the universe out there seeking to prevent you from exercising it. Gods are simply powerful beings unafraid to exercise their Wills on lesser creatures. Best of luck to you Master of Sorcery." He then turns his attention back to Tensen and the Goblin speaking with Trope.
Trope. Hehehehehe, good one.
|Tensen Wildmane
Tensen snorts derisively at Gaius, not backing down an inch. "You would do well to watch how you speak to me. Out in the wilds the predator can quickly become prey.. I will not sign your paper. I see you carry a bow - so you hide behind not only paper but the real fighters as well."
Tensen crouches down next to the masked gnome. "I would have your name. And then, we set out with Finn and Lillith. It would be wise if we could grab the company of one more... But it sounds like we may have a race on our hands! Especially if that coward thinks he has what it takes to tame the beast that is the wilderness, hahaha! I will happily take us out that way."
His wild green eyes float over to the new goblinoid that was excitedly questioning Trope. "With all that chatter you may well fit in with the other small ones I seem to be setting out with. You have the scent of somebody who knows the wilderness, join us and make this adventure even easier than it needs to be!"
Tensen takes a seat next to Finn and listens to what advice Trope may have about venturing out west.
Well at least now there is no party of 5 :P
Možno. Najprv mi dovoľte, aby som sa tieto dva trpaslíkmi, a trochu sa pobaviť. Goblin legrace.
Hopping to and fro between Fionn and Gimlet How about the three of us, huh? Moolah for munchkins! GG, Goblin and Gnomes! 4' tunnels all the way!
Looking at the looming Tensen Your vertical challenge could be an issue, but I would hate to separate Nose and Lilith. They were meant to be.
Yeah, I had to have a way to pass on a few rumors and hooks, and I figured I might as well embrace the silliness rather than try to sidestep it.
Trope says Gather round, gather round! Now, when you leave the city, you can go straight west into goblin territory. That's where I spent my days, and if I could make a bet on it, I'd say that's where Bawldok would camp out, too. Most safe. That not to say there's no adventure there, though. I've heard of rare, powerful herbs deep in that forest, and the goblins sometimes talk of an abandoned mansion on an island in the river to the far west of their woods. Anyway, north of the goblins is the orcs. They're mean, but somehow tamed. They don't just rampage the countryside like they ought. South of here is where the Gnolls stay. I'd steer clear of there 'till you got a few skulls on your pikes. Them gnolls are little devils. And sometimes you can even hear a terrible roar coming from down that way, too. I've never even been down there, let alone explored it. I think that's enough to get you started. I'll always be here if you have any questions or something.
Finn is sitting over with Trope, not with Gimlet, right now
"So west is goblin territory, northwest is orcs and southwest is gnolls. Good to know. Well, you'd be welcome to join us, friend goblin, if that's what you want. As Tensen says, you have the look about you of someone who knows the wilderness. And having someone along who speaks the language would be helpful as well."
Finn has no sense motive, but I'll try it anyway 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 omg i got a great roll, something tells me Chuffy's offer was less than sincere. Am I right?
Excitedly I am wilderness! And there are goblins, and I'm a goblin! And we can that you are a goblin, and Mask is goblin! Nobody will expect gnomes! Then we can be sneaky about it.
Oh who said chuffy wasn't sincere. Goblins have all kinds of fun. It could be totally sincere. Or.... I could be lying to you, or to Gaius. Who knows, maybe even Chuffy doesn't know.
|Gaius Vekkhar
"Ikiqat agentləri ikiqat ödəmək almaq" Gaius says to Chuffy with a grin. "Necə zəng edir?"
"Double agents get double pay." and "How shall I call you?"
Edit:PS, where did you get the wolf? Is it just a normal wolf that follows you?
"I don't think pretending to be goblins would work. I'm not good at pretending, I don't speak the language, and I don't see the point, yanno? Besides, I don't think Sarenrae would like it much." Finn shrugs and gives Chuffy a little half-smile, still trying to figure out if he's for real, or just pulling her leg.
She looks over at Gimlet and says, "Eifo werdwe wofie sleipne grashnik. Hifon oifej whieofhe weoir vlokno Gaius om grashnom"

Laughing Double je dvakrát tak dobrý. Straka. Ak chcete hovoriť súkromne, spýtajte sa miestneho barmana na "pivo", miesto beer.
It would totally work. Trust me, no plan I've made has killed be yet. What do you think on the name though. It's really important, especially if we have a belly with us.

The best part is I'm speaking Azerbaijani and you're replying in Slovak. lmao. What a fun little tavern.
"Şeyi getmək harada biz görəcəksiniz. Indi üçün, Gnommen ilə Əylən və nə edə bilərsiniz məlumat. Qələbə, əmisi oğlu!"

|Ira Oniborn
A a young woman of indiscriminate race and definite oddity walks through the door of the tavern. She's not particularly tall, but her armor, muscles, and tattoos, together with the greatsword on her back, make her rather imposing. Despite the variety in the tavern's occupants she manages to look out of place, and she looks as though she's not particularly comfortable with that. Her eyes have strange coloration, and some of the many tattoos on her face and arms appear to be natural skin coloring.
The woman's tattooed face shows obvious anxiety, and her hands clutch at the sides of her battered and heavy looking armor. She seems reluctant to be in the tavern at all.
She walks shyly between the tables of the tavern, not seeming to trust herself to look anywhere but the floor, and stands in front of the wanted poster. She continues to stare at it for a full minute or so, as if she's not used to reading words.
Psst, hi Jevon.
|Gimlet Bravo
Gimlet spits in his hand and shakes with Tensen, "I look forward to seeing what your companion can do much larger. I am Gimlet Bravo, sorceror and dragonkin. A handshake and our word as bond is good enough for me."
"Finn, the signing contracts type of arrangement can be dangerous when dealing with Asmodeus. Always read the fine print."
Gimlet looks Chuffy up and down and speaks, "It is dangerous to judge by stature alone. Would you be up to being our scout and keeping us magic types from walking into trouble?"

So close. So exciting. Even in defeat, the Oakland A's know how to entertain their fans. And more importantly, they know how to keep their opponents from feeling comfortable and confident.
Though Oakland lost 7-6 on Sunday in 10 innings against the Boston Red Sox, the A's managed to win three of four in the series.
And it was nearly a sweep, as Oakland clawed back from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game in the ninth, only to lose in the top of the 10th when Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz smacked a tie-breaking solo shot off A's reliever Fernando Abad.
The fever didn't die down until after closer Sean Doolittle pinch hit with two outs in the 10th—he grounded out to end the game.
Despite the loss, the A's still own the best record in the majors, 47-29, and a respectable five-game lead over the Los Angeles Angels in the American League West.
Here are five key takeaways from the Oakland A's series against the Boston Red Sox.

Master Glass Artist
Print Interview
We've talked about training and preparation, but do you think it's also possible for an artist to create meaningful work from pure inspiration before they've spent years learning their craft?
Dale Chihuly: It's harder in art to be thought of as successful when you're young. It's a very rare instance when a young artist succeeds. Working with glass and its qualities makes it more attractive to kids, for example. But it's very unusual to see an important show by an artist under 30.
Where do you get your inspiration? Can you create every day, or do you need to wait for inspiration?
It's important to find ways to help it happen. If you're an artist, you need to work, you need to draw. If you're a writer, you need to write. If you don't allow it to come in, it's less likely to happen. But it can happen in any way. Somebody could write a poem, I suppose, in five minutes, and somebody else might take a year, but that doesn't make one better than the other. It does tend to help to have had a few years' experience, to be creative. Although you can see it, creativity, in young students and young people. Some are more creative than others, but it helps to have understood the craft usually. Like cooking dinner, you know, you might have a shot at if you're 15 years old, but somebody who's 25 years old is gonna better know how to do it. You have to know the materials, and you have to have worked with the materials.
[ Key to Success ] Preparation
How do you judge creativity? Is it how people respond to it?
Dale Chihuly: Let's say that you wanted to judge who was the most creative chef in Sun Valley. There'd be a difference of opinion, but if a newspaper ran a survey, one chef might be the best chef in town, even though not everybody would agree with that. A book could be very popular, but not necessarily the most creative book. It's not easy to put your finger on. Almost everybody agrees that Picasso was very creative.
Do you ever get tired of doing what you do?
Dale Chihuly: I do it for exactly as long as I want to. And then I either stop making work or I think of something else. Hopefully I've already thought of something else when I get to the point. Let's say you're a potter, and there's ten potters in Sun Valley and they're all really good craftsmen, but that does not make them really in any way creative. Craftsmen in general enjoy making the same thing over and over, which is almost contrary to being creative. I can't imagine that a creative person would really like making the same thing day in and day out. But then you get the creative potter too.
You work in a team. Do you think human interaction and feedback are essential for creation?
Dale Chihuly: I read an article this morning -- I think it was in Time -- on Winslow Homer, and it sounded as if he was real crotchety. He left New York, lived in a little place in Maine, I think, by himself. This is the painter Winslow Homer, who some people consider the greatest American artist of the 19th century. There's a big retrospective of his that's about to open at the Met. But here was a strange guy, a great artist that worked -- for whatever reason -- by himself, in isolation. So it takes all kinds.
Do you think similar values or processes are involved in creativity in all fields? Apart from the arts, that is.
Dale Chihuly: We could think of areas that are really creative. We could try to see how many we could come up with, but in many areas, the creativity is not as evident. We all know that people want to have art around them, so we put a value on that, and it has to be creative, by definition almost. In other areas you don't see it as much. In science, you don't think about it in the same way, but it's a similar type of activity. What about something like what Gates and Allen did with Microsoft? I don't know about computers, but I know they invented this software for computers which obviously grew this phenomenal company. I don't know if that was really creative or if somebody else would have thought of it the next week. That's more like business, but how creative was that?
What about the future for you? What's the next intriguing project for you?
Dale Chihuly: I never know. I'm lucky, because now that I'm successful, a lot of things come to me, and I can sort of pick and choose what I want. Some of them can stimulate me and make me think of an idea or a project. But I don't know, it's going to be hard for me. I could have a major letdown after this project, because it's such a huge project for me. It even enters my mind that this is the last thing I want to do. I was asking somebody the other day, "Do artists ever retire?" And everybody would always say, "No, artists never retire. They work 'til they're gone," but I don't believe that. I'll bet you if they didn't, they probably should have, some of them.
One last question. What does the American Dream mean to you?
Dale Chihuly: I've never thought about what the American Dream was, but I guess I would say that it's being able to pursue whatever you want to do. For me it's being able to do what you want to do and survive. For somebody else I suppose it could mean having an income, but who would want to have an income from something you didn't want to do? I guess you might if you were in a place where you couldn't have that, but the American Dream to me is pursuing whatever you want to do and finding a way to be successful at doing it.

Study: 'Spiritual but Not Religious' Crazy Druggies
Dan Merica, CNN Belief
Can being spiritual but not religious lead to mental health issues? The answer is yes, according to a recent study.
The study, published in the January edition of the British Journal of Psychiatry, says spiritual but not religious people, as opposed to people who are religious, agnostic or atheist, were more likely to develop a "mental disorder," "be dependent on drugs" and "have abnormal eating attitudes," like bulimia and anorexia.

Word change in Mark Twain books revives debate about literature, language, race
Find a news or feature presentation illustrating how race relations in 2011 are far different than when Twain wrote.
List or discuss differences between language in newspapers and literature. Why should or shouldn't this paper print the n-word?
Predicting what offends can be tricky. Does any ad, photo, editorial cartoon or opinion column upset you or seem as though it could appear crude to others?
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter," according to 19th century author Mark Twain. "It is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Now his best-known books, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, are the focus of heated debate over whether a racial slur is the right word for students and others to see.
NewSouth Books, accepting advice from a 69-year-old English professor, says the change is intended to avoid offending readers. The 7,500-copy edition also replaces "injun" with "Indian." In its attempt to avoid offending readers, the publisher offended literature scholars, online commentators and Twain admirers of all ages. "Who knows what other words [Huck Finn] contains that are OK now that someday might be offensive?" Comedy Central TV host Stephen Colbert asked sarcastically.
The acclaimed author would recognize the current hullabaloo. The year Huck Finn appeared, the Concord Public Library in Massachusetts banned it for "coarse language." A reviewer called it "the veriest trash ... more suited to the slums than to intelligent, respectable people." In 1905, the Brooklyn Public Library in New York banished the book from its young readers' section. School boards and superintendents in some areas still fussed over it from time to time, and in 1998 parents sued a high school in Tempe, Ariz., to keep the book off a required reading list. They lost at a federal appeals court.
Change backer says: "It's such a shame that one word should be a barrier between a marvelous reading experience and a lot of readers." -- Alan Gribben, English professor at Auburn University in Alabama, who advised publisher to change text
Writer says: "The notion that contemporary readers of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are surprised or offended by the word seems questionable. . . . What's next? Substituting orange for red in a painter's work because some observers find red too aggressive?" -- Jill Nelson, African-American author
English professor says: "We need to give teachers the tools they need to teach Twain's book in the context of the history of racism in this country." -- Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Stanford University in California, editor of book about Twain

New "Senate Stocks" IPO Could Solve Budget Deficit
by Drew YoungeDyke
Ann Arbor - Less than a week after the Senate voted to keep subsidies for oil companies, the Dept. of Treasury announced a bold new plan which could solve the budget deficit.
Last week, senators who'd received a combined $23.5 million in campaign contributions from oil companies voted to keep $24 billion in subsidies for oil companies, generating more than a 1000 to 1 return on investment for those companies. Seeking to capitalize on this information, the Department of Treasury issued a press release today announcing it would be issuing an IPO for "Senate Stocks," where individual investors can seek the same returns as Big Oil. Officials expect the cash influx could be big enough to cover the budget deficit.
"We're very excited about this program," announced Sen. James Inhofe (R - OK), who voted to keep the subsidies and has received over $1.3 million from oil companies in his political career. "This program will allow everyday investors to have the same influence that oil companies have."
"This is a free-market solution to a government problem, " said Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R - KY), who has received over $1.1 million from oil companies and also voted to keep the subsidies. "For too long, free-riding voters have complained that we've ignored them. Now we can actually address their problems, as long as they pay for their fair shares, of course."
"We can't guarantee the same 1000 to 1 return that the oil companies received," said Sen. David Vitter (R - LA), who voted to keep the subsidies and has received just over $1 million from Big Oil. "But this should put the socialist fallacy to rest that citizens can get something for nothing just by voting and paying taxes."
Shares are expected to be offered after April Fools Day. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is expected to draft legislation for states to implement similar programs, after it is approved by ExxonMobil.
Happy April Fools Day, everyone. The Senate Stocks program does not exist, and the quotes are entirely made up. The numbers cited are accurate, though, as are the votes on the Energy Tax Credits Modification Act, which would have eliminated $24 billion in government tax breaks and subsidies to oil companies. The 47 senators who voted against the bill have received a combined $23.5 million in campaign contributions from oil companies. Though the bill received 51 votes, it needed a filibuster-proof 60 votes to pass.

Andrew Cyrille, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich: C/D/E
C/D/E combines the talents of leading free jazz musicians who, ironically, base their compositions upon sentiment and acknowledgement throughout this album. Perhaps the most affecting track is the one not written by a member of C/D/E: reedman Tom Chapin's "Aeolus." The trio recalls their friend through a heartfelt evocation of his talent, Ehrlich's flutework singing in conjunction with Dresser's bowed dynamism and Cyrille's dramatic brushed colors. "For Bradford" pays tribute as well, but in a freer approach that involves Ehrlich's statement of the loosened, elastically metered theme, Dresser and Cyrille filling in the pauses with rippling flow.
Cyrille's "Aubade" follows the same path as Ehrlich and Dresser develop the loping theme. It allows for space between the phrases so that the dance of Cyrille's tapping of the cymbal can characterize the tune as one that's lighter and more inviting than others. Ehrlich's "2 For Cyrille" provides the opportunity for the drummer to create his own environment through the development of his own musical creation, separate from but joined to the tune. After Ehrlich comes in on alto sax, it's apparent that the three of them are approaching the composition from their own perspectives, each of them perceiving separate value from the same basic work of art. As with all of the other tracks, even as they assert their individuality, the trio never really accompanyies one another as much as enhances the other's improvisations to accomplish a unified whole.
Dresser's "BBJC," written earlier for John Carter, establishes a swing that's more implicit than in the other tunes. Ehrlich starts the piece with a blues-influenced cadenza containing a slight bending of notes and the elaboration of a three-note pattern before it evolves into a propulsive romp, Dresser alternates a walking bass line with one that staggers the beat and yet another that pushes the tune into double time.
Ehrlich's "Point Of View" and "View From The Point" reflect one another by title, but assume disparate musical attitudes. "Point Of View," with Ehrlich on clarinet, gradually unfolds quietly as a story becomes clear through a linear development and elaboration, which lead to a final enlightenment. On the other hand, "View From The Point" starts on a jagged edge as Ehrlich punctuates with stuttering repetition and uninhibited cries, the intensity building to a free expression embellishing the motive with a brightness shifting from glaring intensity to subdued illumination.
Recorded in 1998, C/D/E finally allows us to hear this trio of free jazz masters in an unfettered improvisational environment. The essences of the tunes are freedom and respect, and C/D/E's approach is as personal and unpredictable as the musicians themselves.
Track Listing: View From The Point, Aeolus, BBJC, A Simple Melody, For Bradford, Aubade, C/D/E, Point Of View, AM 2 1/2, 2 For Cyrille
Personnel: Marty Ehrlich, soprano & alto sax, clarinet, flute; Mark Dresser, bass; Andrew Cyrille, drums

Qingming Festival 2012 falls on April 4
2012-03-31 | Cultures | Comments(2) Views(65)
As one of the 24 Chinese solar terms and an important traditional festival of China, Qingming Festival usually falls on the 4th, 5th, or 6th of April every year. Commonly translated to be "Tomb-Sweeping Day" or "Pure Brightness Festival" in English, it always comes on the 103rd day (one day later in leap years) after the winter solstice. For more than 2500 years, Chinese have been going to tidy up their ancestors' tombs and burn joss sticks and "paper money" to show respect and express love.
Photo: Part of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", a famous ancient Chinese painting by Zhang Zeduan (1085-1145).
Qingming Festival became a legal holiday since 2008, which means the public have a legal holiday of one day to do this traditional filial duty if the day does not fall on weekend. However, the truth is, the festival is usually adjusted to be a three-day holiday in consideration of those who work away from home. Take this year for example, we get the holiday on April 4, Wednesday. But for a longer holiday, it is regulated by the State Council that this weekend (March 31 & April 1) are work days and the public will have another two free days on April 2 and 3, which bring most people sufficient time to go back home and return to work.

well if c is 0 it is pretty easy application of definitions because both of the piecewise functions converge to 0 at 0, so you can just choose the smaller of the two deltas to get it within any given epsilon.
For the other direction, I suggest a proof by contradiction. That is is say c is not 0. Anywhere else on the real line it is pretty clear that if you took epsilon to be say |c|/3 there is no way you can choose a delta small enough to ensure this function is continuous there. I think |c|/2 works actually, but better safe than sorry in my opinion.
Oh I should mention it is important that both the rationals and irrationals are dense, so any delta ball will contain points from both pieces.

"I had fallen into the classic trap of the Pakistani woman. The goal is marriage and, once achieved, the future is a life of total subordination. I had no power, no rights, no will of my own." – Tehmina Durrani
The above passage, extracted from nearly one-third of the book, sums up the essence of this autobiography. Born into one of Pakistan's most influential families, Tehmina Durrani was raised in the privileged milieu of Lahore high class society. Her marriage to Ghulam Mustafa Khar, one of Pakistan's most eminent political figures, soon turned into a nightmare. Violently possessive and patholigically jealous, Khar succeeded in cutting her off from the outside world. For fourteen years, Tehmina suffered alone, in silence. When she decided to rebel, the price she paid was extremely high …
Tehmina's story is the classic tale of women in Muslim society, who are driven into years of slavery and trauma in their husband's house, with their lives manipulated by the repeated misinterpretation of the teachings of the Prophet. Her daughters suffer, and the maids in her house lead equally traumatized and abused lives. Over the years, Tehmina rebels sometimes but is constantly drawn into a web of intrigue and self-denial.
More than a bruised body, the tattered soul hurts and urges this woman of high upbringing to finally break the thin chords of family and society's pressure to gain freedom from her vengeful husband, even after giving him many opportunities for reform, and also becoming his prime political aide and spokes person. But at the end of it all, she earns her independence by losing custody of her children, living on the mercy of her family and friends, just because she is neither independent nor socially allowed to make herself independent with her own rights.
The pathos is intriguing – how this woman goes back again and again to a life of misery and violence, with a typical feminine hope that her husband will change for the better. The cycle of torture, forgiveness and repentance is never-ending – until Tehmina throws all care to the wind and decides to stand up for her dignity and rights as a woman, and most importantly as a human being.
Years of nomadic existence at the whims and fancies of a psychopath, who is her husband by law, take a toll on her mental and emotional peace and health. Her children face equally antagonistic behavior and troubling episodes in their life. Its only the courage of this woman, gathered over fourteen long years of oppression, that allow her to finally break the shackles of marital discord and slavery – a fate that so many oppressed women in feudal society still envy.
Durrani's book, My Feudal Lord, has been criticized for its writing style, and yet the book is absolutely engaging and provides a great insight into the politics of Pakistan – from the reign of Bhutto, to the military regime of General Zia and then to the rise of Benazir Bhutto. And amidst this great political drama of the early stages of Pakistani history, is the heart-rending tale of Tehmina Durrani. It is the efforts of this brave woman that this tale has been shared globally, providing first-hand glimpses of the vulnerable position of women caught in the complex world of feudal society.
After her divorce, Durrani wrote My Feudal Lord in 1991, detailing her marriage with Khar. The book became a bestseller worldwide, but stirred controversy in Pakistan for its detailed description of abuse inflicted on her by a powerful political figure. Further, its revelation of the misuse of Islam to conceal the exploitation of females also garnered both negative and positive publicity. A debate whether or not parts of the book are exaggerated or completely untrue continues to persist.
I highly recommend Tehmina Durrani's book, not for its literary value, but as a great political and social documentary on the complex web of the life and times in Muslim society.
Durrani has also written the novel "Blasphemy" which was another success. Durrani has won many worldwide awards for her book "My Feudal Lord" and is considered an idol by many women in Pakistan. She is currently married to Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, former Chief Minister of Punjab, and brother of Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Gentech International Ltd. - PRODUCT NEWS
"No Flow" Protection. In circulating cooling water systems for machine controls or chilled fluid in beverages it is crucial that warning of "low flow " or "no flow", will safely shut down the system to limit or prevent any damage. The Gentech flow switch can protect a pump from "no load" damage, when no liquid is available. Also it will successfully interface within a "burner system" for a central heating boiler, ensuring the ignition circuit will only energize when water is flowing. Gentech FCS flow switches are individually set to operate at a flow rate matching the application. The flow rates within the FCS series, available as standard: range from 0.6 to 4 litres per minute. At the flow switch point a single pole single throw normally open (normally open when no flow) reed switch contact will operate, alternatively some models can have a single pole double throw switch fitted. The FCS flow switch series will fit either vertically or horizontally in the pipe work and connected via 3/8" BSP or 3/8" NPT pipe threads. It is also suitable for applications in potable water, carbonated drinks and deionised water as well as a number of other chemicals, with body materials of Noryl and Polyphenylene. The FCS series compliments a comprehensive flow switch family of products within the Gentech range. The FS series has parts that are suitable for larger pipe sizes: ¾"BSP, 15mm and 22mm, and in Noryl, Copper and Brass body materials. ______________________________________________

City Building Inspector Lanny Holland said he issued a building permit this week for the construction of the 104-unit Brookfield Apartments.
The complex will be a gated community with limited access. It will include 60 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom apartments. The complex will also have a clubhouse and pool, 24 garages, 30 carports and 16 storage units. In addition to the 30 covered parking spaces, the complex also will have 173 open parking spaces and seven spaces for parking at the complex office.
N.E. Construction of Lewisville has the contract to build the development.
Holland said the project will be located on 7.8 acres at 2101 NW U.S. Highway 181 Frontage Road and the developer will have a year to complete the construction.
The project is good news for businesses coming into Beeville to join the activity in the Eagle Ford Shale oil field.
This city is located almost in the center of a shale oil field that extends from the Mexican border to East Texas and beyond.
Holland said work is progressing admirably on the first 40 units of the 120-unit Danville Village condominium project just north of the city on U.S. Highway 181 Business.
All the units in that development will be three-bedroom residences.
Holland expects to see requests for building permits in coming weeks on three new duplex units and construction on one, new, single-family home has been permitted.
The inspector said he also has had inquiries from a possible motel developer on flood plain and related information for land located south of the two new motels on U.S. Highway 59 east of town.
Motel space has been at a premium in Beeville and neighboring cities since drilling began in the Eagle Ford.
Also, Holland said he has seen blueprints for a recreational vehicle park proposed for property north of Reyes Road.
"I'm expecting it to go through," Holland said of that project.
"It's big," Holland said of construction activity planned for the remainder of 2011. "And it's going to be big right into 2012."

our northern (bottom-dwelling) cousins
As a comparative new member, I'm still trawling thro' the back-issues, so as a gesture of solidarity to fellow sufferers, I've turned over the string that this refers to, under Miscellany.
And not least because of Jo's delightful link to the Peter projection as an alternate 'world view' - which I reckon should be on all classroom walls, whether North, South, West or Oriented

I thought of delaying my post for that reason, then realised that such a courtesy would not be extended to any Antipodeans if a challenge were issued in our "wee smalls"
Excuse me, but the considerate Jo pointed out this issue
a long time ago, and the time zone differences have been
by and large taken into account since then, I think. I would like to add that that courtesy has been
extended, more than once.

My post simply referred to the darwinian nature of "a challenge" - to misapply the Biblical quote, it comes down to the quick and the dead. If someone posted a challenge at, say, 03:00 NZ time, I would never expect others to defer answering until those sleeping were awake. I know that there will be many times when others will be able to respond to a challenge faster than I, so, when I have the chance, I shall seize it. You should see me at the dinner table!

I don't have any problem with the word orienteering!
I've even done it, on a small scale.
Rhuby, thank you for the edification. You may get carried away with me any time. But I still don't know what a
treen is.

I looked it up at dictionary.com and got an obsolete plural of trees. That would seem to fit in the context?

>There is also a Yorkshire brewery known as "The Black Sheep Brewery" - and very fine ale it produces, too, (although it goes against the grain for anyone in Lancashire to say anything good about anything Yorkshire !)<
Barbie, (if I may call you that? Ruby, Barbie, Commie, Mandy - you choose....)
I cannot let this referral to the Black Sheep Brewery go unpassed. Are you aware of the history behind the name?
There is an old established brewery in Masham, Yorkshire, called Theakston's, after the family who founded it and owned it for generations. Within living memory, (I remember it!) one of the sons left the family business and set up, in the same town, an alternative brewery. To wit, the Black Sheep Brewery.
Check it out:
I don't know what you think about Theakston's, but my sister and brother-in-law, who live in Michigan, have to visit the UK regularly to restock their cellar with Old Peculier....

Bridget, that was SO interesting! I'm glad I bothered to read the whole thing; else I would have kept assuming (nope, still haven't learned) from the name that he'd just had a falling-out with his family.
Did Masham get its name from the industry, do you know?
Living in Kentucky, the bourbon capital of the world, I have not been able to help learning a bit about the process.
I saw that Mr. T. places a high value on the quality of the
water he gets, as does Maker's Mark here, and also Jack
Daniels (hi, Anna!) in Tennessee.
Two asides: I have no wish to be carried away by a Barbie, and, in the other thread, do you know I did not even SEE
Max's new zeal and..., until he pointed it out!
If there is another, I have been unable to dope it out.

I certainly am, Bridie: (if I may call you that )
Paul Theakston may be a black sheep so far as the rest of his family is concerned, but he's one of my heroes. Theakston's is still good ale, but the S&N brewery has not improved it - if anything, the reverse is true. Mind you, I'm a Londoner, not a Lancastrian, and that is the excuse I offer for my renegade tendencies re: the wars of the roses.
Tell your sister and B-in-law to try Balck Sheep's "Rig Welter" when next they come over.
BTW, general usage seems to favour Rhu, Rhube, or Rhuby, rather than other diminutives, but I'll answer to any name that precedes the sentence, "... can I buy you a pint?"

Sorry Jacky, me dear, (whoops - that's from the Madeira thread) I had meant to put in a definition but the previous post went on so long that I kinda forgot.
So far as I'm concerned - and I show my age very obviously here - a "treen" is a green skinned person of roughly human shape but without human emotions (or any emotions, actually) who lives on the planet Venus in a society controlled by The Mekon - a little, wizened creature with a massive head, who floats around on the prototype of the Hovercraft. He is the Arch-Enemy of Dan Dare, spaceman.

Top makers of memory modules, Corsair Memory and OCZ Technology, this week introduced their new 1GB DDR memory sticks with improved clock-speeds and timings. Both measures are aimed to increase performance of large modules, which are becoming increasingly popular these days.
For years makers of advanced memory modules increased speeds of 256MB and 512MB memory modules due to their popularity among gamers and overclockers. Today modern games demand more than 1GB of memory and encourage computer users to get 2GB of random access memory (RAM). Unfortunately, on popular computers running AMD Athlon 64 processors usage of four typical 512MB PC3200 memory modules cause memory system performance to degrade as a result of clock-speed decrease to PC2700 speed. This peculiarity forces end-users to get 1GB memory modules based on high-density chips and use them in pairs.
Corsair Memory and OCZ Technology this week addressed the need of high-performance 1GB memory products by enthusiasts. Corsair unveiled its XMS-3500LL PRO modules that operate with CL2 3-2-6 latency settings at the speed of 437MHz. OCZ Technology introduced its OCZ EB DDR PC-4000 Platinum Edition modules capable of working at 500MHz with CL3 3-2-8 timings. Both companies will supply the new products in so-called dual-channel kits, which consist of two modules, as well as separately.
Both companies aim new memory products at games who use AMD Athlon 64- or AMD Athlon 64 FX-based computers, as Intel-based systems these days mostly use DDR2 SDRAM.
According to an article at X-bit labs, modern AMD64 processors with the latest core revision can clock memory modules at 400MHz, 436MHz, 480MHz and 500MHz.

Morning medicals: Pujols, Burnett, Madson
Albert Pujols (knee surgery) is still limited to fielding ground balls hit directly at him, and he's only running on the treadmill. He is expected to begin running on the field later this week, but he'll need a few days after that before he runs the bases.
Mike Scioscia said the plan is for Pujols to play in games by the second week of March, at the latest.
Sean Burnett (back) threw again today, and he's going to be ready to throw off the mound within the next several days.
Ryan Madson (Tommy John surgery) threw at 75 feet today, marking the first time he threw on back-to-back days since his Feb. 1 setback. He is scheduled to have Wednesday off. Madson has to get out to about 150 or 180 feet before he can get on the mound.

In an online world where social media influence is something that matters very much for an online website, business or a user to have some presence, Klout is considered so far to be the "gold standard" of measuring social influence. But a new study has revealed that the digital influence of Klout and other such social media measurement tools actually do not accurately take into account how much a user holds an influence on his or her networks.
When measuring influence, a tool some consider different aspects. All of these social media measuring sites take different aspects into account, however, leaving out one or the other aspect. Hence, it is not a very comprehensive and dependable measurement of online influence. Also, it is important to define what exactly digital influence is.
According to the report by The Altimeter Group, social websites ranking users do not measure influence as they claim to, but rather takes into account a potential to influence. Hence, having a potential not necessarily means that it has been realized into its peak effect. Thus, a user might be potentially socially influential, but might not necessarily be holding that influence out in the field.
There are some online social media websites that actually make their business out of delivering a certain number of followers on Twitter, a certain of fans and subscribers on Facebook, and similarly for other social networking sites, for an amount of money. Hence, this is creating fake social influence and bears no meaning. In fact, it might affect those who genuinely hold influence merely based on numbers.
