Route 11 Detour Deterring Business?
Route eleven. It served the purpose of Interstate 81 before I-81 was. And it is still a major North to South route in New York. But on Monday, part of the road will be closed to repair a culvert, a pipe, at Hart Brook.
Construction is expected to last until the beginning of September. And during that time, all thru traffic will be diverted to either Interstate 81 or local roads. That means just a quarter mile of road will be closed between Spook Hill Road and Michael's Road. But that quarter mile is a big deal for many. Like Behling's produce stand on Route 11.
"We get a lot of just intermittent traffic that I'm afraid we're not going to get, and it could affect the bottom line for a whole month," said Cathy Behling.
The construction is also raising a number of questions. The main one being why such a seemingly small project will take a month to do.
"You have deliveries that have to be made. There's material requirements that have to be met. So we're looking at a month or so - which is not unreasonable," said Michael Flick, Department of Transportation.
A month-long project to repair a culvert that's expected to last another seventy years.

Series Preview – Reds @ Cubs; May 3 – May 5, 2013
The Cubs come into this series playing well, okay, play well for most of the game I guess. The Cubs could have very easily taken three out of four from the Padres, or two out of three from the Reds last month, but they just can't get out of their own way. Today the Cubs welcome those Reds to Wrigley Field for a three game weekend set, and hopefully some revenge as well. The Reds took two out of three from the Cubs in Cincinnati the last time these two teams met. It was a great series, and the Cubs pitchers shut down the Reds vaunted lineup, but couldn't find a big hit the whole series, or a closer the whole series and ended up losing two out of three. It will be another challenge this weekend for the Cubs pitchers as the Reds continue to hit and score runs, they have scored 128 runs, good enough for sixth in baseball compared to the 100 runs the Cubs have scored which is 26th in baseball. The Reds team ERA is also impressive, currently they sit fourth in the Majors with a 3.32 ERA, the Cubs are not too far behind though, they have a team ERA of 3.72, that's good for twelfth in the Majors. This should be a good series, hopefully the results are better this time around.
Last Series:
The Cubs split a four game series with the Padres at Wrigley.
The Reds lost two out of three to the Cardinals in St. Louis

Edwin Jackson still searching for a win, pounded by Padres
The first twenty-five games of the Cubs season featured a fun fact, every game has been decided by four runs or less, that streak came to a crashing halt tonight in game twenty-six. Edwin Jackson was hit hard and often in the early going as the Padres built an 8-0 lead in the fifth inning. As the Cubs have done all year they fought right back and scored four times in the bottom half of the fifth to make it a game. Unfortunately the rest of the Cubs staff couldn't miss any bats either as the Padres scored in the next three innings, five runs in total, to take a 13-5 lead in the eighth inning. The Cubs staged a minor rally in the ninth inning to make the score look somewhat presentable but they really never had a chance in this one, and that can be attributed to Edwin Jackson's continued struggles.
At The Plate – Nice to see the Cubs really pound the ball in this one, too bad it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Padres. The Cubs scored seven times on eleven hits, and were uncharacteristically good with runners in scoring position (3-for-9). Starlin Castro had a big game going 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI's and two runs scored. Anthony Rizzo is locked in at the plate, and now the results are starting to come, he was 3-for-4 tonight with two doubles, a walk, an RBI, and a stolen base. Luis Valbuena, David DeJesus, and Cody Ransom all hit home runs in this one, Valbuena's home run was a two-run shot, while DeJesus and Ransom each had solo homers.
On The Mound – Not a lot of success on the mound in this one and it started with Edwin Jackson who was torched. Jackson went 4.2 innings giving up eight runs on eleven hits while walking two and striking out six, his ERA ballooned to 6.27 for the season. Kameron Loe was okay in relief going 1.1 innings giving up one run on two hits while striking out two. Hector Rondon didn't fare too well out of the pen going two innings giving up four runs on four hits while walking one. Shawn Camp was the only pitcher to escape unscathed in this one as he worked a scoreless inning.
Up Next – Game three of the series, and the Cubs will face a familiar face in Andrew Cashner. The Cubs will counter with Scott Feldman at 7:05 PM CST. Editors note: Congrats Blackhawks on winning game one! Go Chicago sports.
Game Highlights:
Valbuena's two-run homer
Castro's two-run shot
David DeJesus' reviewed home run

Ransom, Bullpen Lead Cubs to Victory
The Cubs fight finally paid off in this one, so often this year the Cubs have had the will to win….see what I did there? But they have all too often come up short, but not tonight as they beat the Padres 5-3 to open the four game set. Jeff Samardzija struggled with command in the early going which resulted in an earlier than normal exit. That's when the bullpen took over as they walked a fine line over the last four innings but shut the Padres down. With the game tied in the sixth Cody Ransom and Darwin Barney came up huge with two outs to give the Cubs a 5-3 lead and they never looked back. That's four wins in their last five games for the Cubs, I think we can all get used to this.
At The Plate – The Cubs pounded out ten hits en route to scoring five runs in this one, and probably could have had more as they were 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Alfonso Soriano broke out of his slump, at least for tonight as he went 2-for-4 with a double, and a run scored. Cody Ransom was a hero for the Cubs with the bat and glove as he made a game saving play in the seventh. Ransom was 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI's, and two runs scored against his former team. Darwin Barney also found some rare success as he was 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI's, and a walk in the victory.
On The Mound – Jeff Samardzija battled, but he didn't have his best command, the result was an elevated pitch count by the fifth inning. Shark worked five innings giving up three runs on four hits while walking four and striking out eight, he did not factor into the decision. Michael Bowden, Shawn Camp, James Russell, and Kevin Gregg all had scoreless outings out of the pen to nail this one down. Bowden earned the win as he worked an inning while striking out one. Camp and Russell each had some trouble, but were able to work out of it with the help of one another and Kevin Gregg. Gregg worked his third perfect ninth for his fourth save of the year already with the Cubs. Overall Gregg worked 1.1 scoreless innings while striking out two.
Up Next – Game two of the series tomorrow night at 7:05 PM CST, should be a great night for baseball as temperatures are supposed to soar into the 80's. Edwin Jackson gets the ball for the Cubs, he will be opposed by Edinson Volquez who always seems to have the Cubs number.
Game Highlights:
Scott Hairston solo blast
Ransom goes back to back with Hairston
Barney with his first RBI double
Ransom with a huge RBI single
Barney's second RBI double of the night

Series Preview – Padres @ Cubs; April 29 – May 2, 2013
The Cubs are playing better baseball of late, and they were finally rewarded with a few wins in Miami as they took three out of four. The Cubs starting pitching really didn't miss a beat this past weekend as they continued to turn in quality start after quality start. The pitching has been better than anyone could have imagined up to this point in the season. Currently the Cubs team ERA is 3.42 that is ninth best in all of baseball. Breaking that down even further, just looking at the starters the Cubs ERA is 3.14 which is good for fifth in the Majors, impressive. The Cubs staff should have continues success this week against the Padres as they are twenty-sixth in all of baseball in runs scored, part of that has to do with where they play their home games, the other part has to do with their sub par lineup that has been slow to get going. The Padres pitching hasn't taken advantage of the comfortable surroundings of Petco Park however, as they have a team ERA of 4.39 which is "good" enough for twenty-sixth in baseball. All signs point to a successful series for the Cubs, but they still have to execute, if they do they should be able to win this series.
Last Series:
The Cubs won three out of four in Miami over the Marlins
The Padres swept a three game series from the Giants in San Diego

Game Three – Eric Stults (2-2, 5.67)

Bold Prediction:
I like the direction of the Cubs right now, I know it's hard to say that with a straight face, but this team could easily be contending in the Central without bullpen blow ups. I think the good vibes continue in this series and the Cubs take three out of four again. Committed is the Cubs slogan, maybe I should be with all my positive thoughts, go Cubs!

Valbuena's Blast Propels Cubs to Victory
How was that for exciting, for the second time in the last week Luis Valbuena belted a clutch home run to put the Cubs up late, this time they actually won the game. Things weren't looking so good early on as Edwin Jackson was struggling with his command and the Marlins jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the second inning. Usually that spells the end of the game for the Cubs given their offensive woes, but not tonight. The Cubs scored once in the fourth on back to back doubles by Nate Schierholtz and Welington Castillo, and then tied it in the sixth on a home run by you guessed it, Schierholtz again. Jackson settled in, and the Cubs pen did a great job to get the game tied at three and then Valbuena delivered the game winning shot in the top of the ninth. Carlos Marmol came on to get the save, and of course made it very interesting for everyone involved by putting the first two men on before escaping the jam, Cubs win!
At The Plate – The Cubs were only able to manage six hits in this one, but they made them count as they were 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position. David DeJesus was 1-for-4 with a double, and a run scored from the lead-off spot. Starlin Castro got the Cubs on the board early with an RBI single, he finished the day 1-for-4. Nate Schierholtz was 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, an RBI, and two runs scored. Luis Valbuena, the hero on this night went 1-for-4 with a home run, an RBI, and a run scored.
On The Mound – It didn't look like Edwin Jackson was going to make it through four innings in this one but he battled his way to a quality start. Jackson went six innings giving up three runs on five hits while walking four and striking out four. The Cubs pen shined in this one as Hector Rondon, Shawn Camp, and Carlos Marmol all tossed scoreless innings in the victory. Impressive job by Marmol after it looked like things were going to unravel, he walked the first guy, gave up a hit to the next guy then settled in as he struck out the Marlins best hitter Giancarlo Stanton with the tying run in scoring position to end this one.
Up Next – Game two of the series as Scott Feldman looks for his first win of the season against Wade LeBlanc at 6:10 PM CST.
Game Highlights:
Valbuena's game winner
Great defensive play in the ninth
Marmol gets the save
Schierholtz ties it with a home run
Castro's RBI single
Great catch by Barney
Castillo's RBI double
Slick play by Barney and Castro

April 25, 2013 – Cubs @ Marlins; Lineups!
Edwin Jackson tries to get his first win as a member of the Cubs tonight against the light hitting Marlins. I guess the same could be said for the Cubs, not exactly two offensive juggernauts here. The Cubs will face Kevin Slowey who has been sharp in the early going, here is how each team will line up.

Series Preview – Cubs @ Marlins; April 25 – April 28, 2013
Well, based on the records, this could be an ugly series as the Cubs come in at 6-14 with the Marlins sporting a 5-16 record, that's a lot of losses. As one could imagine, it hasn't gone well of late for either team as the Cubs are 2-8 ion their last ten games, of course at least half of those losses could be wins, and the Marlins are 3-7 in their last ten. The Marlins struggles are similar to the that of the Cubs, they can't score runs. The Marlins have the worst team batting average in all of baseball (.221), the Cubs aren't much better at .229 (26th in MLB). The Marlins are also dead last in runs scored with 54, eleven fewer than the Cubs on the season. The Cubs also hold the edge in the pitching department as they sport a 3.44 team ERA which is 9th best in all of baseball, think about that for a second, the Cubs have the 9th best ERA yet sit eight games under .500 this year. The Marlins team ERA is a full run worse than that of the Cubs, they sit 26th in the Majors at 4.50. All signs point to a successful weekend in Miami for the Cubs, but they still have to go out there and perform.
Last Series:
The Cubs left Cincinnati wanting more, they lost two of three and could have easily won two of three.
The Marlins split a rain shortened series in Minnesota.

Who's Hot / Who's Not:
The Cubs have struggled all season long with runners in scoring position, even more troubling is their inability to get runners in from third base and less than two outs. That is a situation where contact needs to be made and the run needs to score. So far this season the Cubs have had twenty-three at bats with a runner at third with less than two outs, they only have two hits, that's a .077 average. They have only scored eleven times in those twenty-three chances, for one, they need more chances, and two they need to capitalize starting yesterday. Anthony Rizzo is having better at bats as of late unfortunately that is not yielding better results. Over his last six games Rizzo is hitting .185 (5-for-27), he does have three home runs and five RBI's during that stretch. Darwin Barney has struggled mightily at the plate since returning from the DL, he is hitting .174 (4-for-23) in his last six games, but does have a game winning homer. David DeJesus has been lighting it up of late, he is hitting .368 (7-for-19) over the last six games with a double, a triple, two home runs, three RBI's, and four walks. On the mound, Carlos Villanueva has been outstanding in his last two starts going 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA only giving up seven hits in 15.1 innings.
The Marlins glaring issues are scoring runs, and then preventing them once the bullpen comes into the game, sounds familiar, eh? I mentioned the Marlins offensive woes above, but their bullpen ERA is just as bad. The Marlins sit 28th in the Majors in bullpen ERA with a 4.98 ERA, which is worse than the Cubs if you can believe that. Get ready for a lot of names that you probably don't know, starting now. Not much has gone right at the plate for the Marlins, but Rob Brantly has been a bright spot lately. Over the last five games Brantly is hitting .313 (5-for16) with three doubles, four RBI's, and two walks. Justin Ruggiano on the other hand has been awful in the last seven games hitting .207 (6-for-29), of those six hits two have left the park. Ryan Webb has been one of the few bright spots out of the Marlins pen of late as he has tossed six innings over the last seven days giving up only one run. Jon Rauch has been stupid bad in his last two appearances, giving up five runs on four hits in 1.2 innings.
Bold Prediction:
These close games are bound to start going in the favor of the Cubs, and I think that starts now. The way the Cubs staff has been throwing the ball I like their chances against a weak Marlins line up. I also think the Cubs will start getting some timely hits and take three out of four this weekend….please??

Cubs Baffled by Latos in Loss
If you like a good old fashion pitchers duel, then this one was for you. Jeff Samardzija and Mat Latos went toe-to-toe in this one, and it almost didn't even happen. Both pitchers received visits from the trainer in the first inning, Latos after being hit with a hard ground ball off the bat of Julio Borbon, and Samardzija ripped up the nail of his index finger on his pitching hand while trying to knock down a ground ball. Both pitchers stayed in the game, Samardzija with blood dripping from his hand and both were outstanding. Todd Frazier was the only player to make an impact on offense for either team as he connected on an estimated 480 foot home run in the sixth inning, and that was enough for Latos and the Reds. The Cubs threatened in the eighth but once again couldn't make contact to score a run. Alfonso Soriano pinch hit in the eighth and struck out with runners at second and third with only one out. Then DeJesus was robbed by Zack Cozart on a ground ball back up the middle, if it gets through the Cubs lead 2-1, it didn't, Cubs lose.
At The Plate – As I mentioned, the Cubs really didn't get much going off of Latos, Broxton, and Chapman in this one. Julio Borbon had a solid day as he made good contact a few times, he went 1-for-3 with a double. Both Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo were 1-for-4 in the loss, Castro was also caught stealing. Luis Valbuena and Cody Ransom were the only other Cubs that registered his in the loss.
On The Mound – Jeff Samardzija was solid again, this time while battling an injury, and still ended up with a loss, his fourth of the season despite an ERA of 3.03, sounds like much of the Cubs staff. Samardzija went six innings giving up one run on seven hits while walking three and striking out eight. Shawn Camp and James Russell gave the Cubs a shot late as they each tossed a scoreless inning out of the pen.
Up Next – The Cubs travel to Miami to take on the Marlins in a four game weekend set. Edwin Jackson will start things off against Kevin Slowey at 6:10 PM CST.
Game Highlights:
Samardzija's gutsy outing
Samardzija get's nicked up
Navarro guns down Votto
DeJesus with a diving grab

Cubs Continue to Beat Themselves
I understand that the Cubs won't be competitive this year, maybe competitive in games, but not to the point of winning anything substantial, but the one thing I expect to see at least is strong fundamental play. When the roster is hollowed, which it is, one would expect to see the little things done right, and players paying attention. We are only sixteen games into this season and it is clear that in some games the Cubs just aren't mentally there. I suppose I shouldn't be as upset about it because this kind of stuff happens on bad teams, and for the most part the Cubs have fought in games but today just got to me. It also is starting to get to Dale Sveum, ""This is obviously getting old…we're making mistakes that rookie ball people make." The Cubs only had four chances with runners in scoring position, they did convert once, but it wasn't enough as four unearned runs did in the Cubs and Edwin Jackson, just frustrating.
At The Plate – The Cubs managed to out-hit the Brewers in this one 7-6, but the Brewers didn't make any errors and thus they won. Of the seven Cubs hits only two were of the extra-base variety. David DeJesus was 1-for-3, as was Luis Valbuena. Alfonso Soriano was the only Cubs player to register an RBI, he was 1-for-4, and also made an error. Starlin Castro was 1-for-4 and he also made an error, the other error was made by Edwin Jackson. Nate Schierholtz, and Dave Sappelt were the only Cubs with extra base hits, both doubles.
On The Mound – Edwin Jackson had a "quality" start by definition of the rule book as he went six innings giving up five runs, one earned, on four hits while walking one and striking out four. Hector Rondon, and Kameron Loe both worked scoreless innings in relief but by then the game was decided.
Up Next – The Cubs will look to avoid the sweep tomorrow afternoon as Scott Feldman battles Wily Peralta at 1:10 PM CST.
Game Highlights:
Soriano's impressive RBI single….sigh
Castro's Error, sums it up
Thanks for reading,
– George

There's no real downtime in the world of college basketball, not for the players and coaches and certainly not for those of us who cover the sport as media or follow as fans. The "offseason" isn't so much about relaxing and taking a break between the end of one grind and the start of the other as it is a time to start looking ahead to what's coming next.
It's also the time to make predictions—lots and lots of predictions.
There are plenty of way-too-early top-25 rankings—we're not immune: here's our projection of the best teams for the 2014-15 season—and lists touting the best freshmen, best upperclassmen and best overall players. Look around enough and you'll find predictions on which 68 teams will make the NCAA field...eight months from now.
This prediction, though, is more about hope than hype. With about 350 teams in Division I, it's easy for a program to get lost in the mix if it doesn't have a good season, and the reasons why things didn't go well are different for every school. But for some of the teams that struggled in 2013-14, it's not too far-fetched to think things will be a lot better next season as long as a few things go their way.
Here's our prediction for the 10 teams that will be the most improved programs in college basketball in 2014-15.

Management of the Plutonium Finishing Plant Closure Project
The Department of Energy's (Department) Richland Operations Office (Richland) awarded a contract, effective October 1, 2008, to CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC) to remediate the Hanford Site's Central Plateau. Part of the contract's scope includes completion of the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP) Closure Project – a major decontamination and demolition project of an industrial complex consisting of more than 60 buildings. CHPRC's contract included expectations to: Provide safe and compliant storage of special nuclear material at PFP until it has been removed from the PFP complex; Operate and maintain the PFP facilities and associated waste sites, structures, systems and equipment in a safe, compliant and energy-efficient manner; Maintain radiological and access control to ensure personnel safety; Remove special nuclear material from PFP and transport it to an assigned location; Demolish PFP complex facilities to slab-on-grade condition; and, Prepare, package, and disposition waste streams, as required.

So if a random metal band makes fun of another metal band in an interview or something they should first find the band they're making fun of and talk about it in their face? That's a kind of weird to me. Why should DEP search for these guys of Avenged Sevenfold if they only retaliate in an hilarious way and making fun of Avenged at the same time?
I mean DEP aren't the ones that are stupid here.
But ah well, I'm defending a band that isn't really appreciated here anyway, so I'll just return to the Alternative Metal subforum.

Favorite Mythological Creture?
January 27th, 2013, 8:30 PM
Ok so this question again what's your favorite Mythological Creature? I like Dragons, Unicorns, And Griffins.

I absolutely love phoenixes <3. I find them elegant and graceful creatures and birds have always been an animal I admired. I also find it amazing about that the phoenix, can be reborn from ashes and starts all over again, it's an interesting concept. Also, a bird on fire just sounds amazing in my opinion, I wish I had a pet phoenix. XD;
My second choice would definitely be the dragon! I love all sorts of dragons, for their power and strength,their unique sleek appearance, with scales,horns, pointed wings and huge fangs. Breathing fire, flying and also the role they play in fairytales is interesting! I really adore dragons, they have to be one of my favourites. <3

I'm also in the phoenix camp. The elegance of a flying streak of flame just really appeals to me. It looks powerful. I love Moltres for this very reason.
January 28th, 2013, 4:52 AM
I'm not really that into mythical creatures but I love dragons, phoenixes and unicorns the best.
I love how well the dragons are interpreted in Chinese culture especially. Phoenixes have the ability to rebirth from the dead (as I saw in a Harry Potter movie) and unicorns are so cute and popular with girls.
January 28th, 2013, 4:58 AM
I always thought phoenixes, griffons and dragons were really cool, with phoenixes probably being my favorite.
January 28th, 2013, 5:01 AM
Hmmm. Mythic creatures huh. I think dragons are great. Phoenixes I like also. But I would say I like Kraken and other water creatures most. And Fefnir. Fefnir is an awesome concept. A wolf so big it touches the sky. :D
January 28th, 2013, 5:05 AM
And Fefnir. Fefnir is an awesome concept. A wolf so big it touches the sky. :D
A wolf so big it touches the sky? Why have I not heard of this creature before? Fefnir is my favorite now because I love wolves.
January 28th, 2013, 5:10 AM
Its (Fenris or was it Fefnir ((cant remember which is correct))from scandic mythology/folk lore. :)

I love dragons, phoenixes, and centaurs 'cause they're just that awesome.
January 28th, 2013, 12:46 PM
I like dragons, unicorns, the Loch Ness Monster and the Leviathan.
January 28th, 2013, 12:51 PM
Even if it's overused, the dragon is hands down the best mythological creature, and my personal favorite. It has it all, and then some.

The Simurgh, which is a phoenix of Persian origin, that is often found in Muslim literature, has to be my favourite.
It's a giant phoenix like bird that's incredibly wise and a protector of humanity. And it had power to purify all things. Sometimes it looks like it has a dog face, other times just like a bird. Also, it's incredibly old. Too bad most people don't know about it though.
Another cool thing about it is that Simurgh is actually a pun that can also mean "Thirty Birds", which is a reference made in the epic poem "Conference of the Birds".
And with that, more Simurgh art:

There's this fairy muse thing called the leanan sidhe and it's one of my favorite fictional beings, period. It's from Celtic mythology and it's a beautiful woman who gives its victim amazing artistic talent in return for their love, then it drains their life away while they spiral into insanity.
I'd fall for it.
January 28th, 2013, 2:57 PM
Anubis, Chimera, Sphinx, and Ouroboros are my favourites. Anubs definitely tops it for me, though. Bastet is also cool; I like my Egyptian Gods.. though I don't know if I can technically place them under mythology.. after all, it was once a religion, wasn't it?
January 28th, 2013, 3:14 PM
Spriggans. Even though they're from Skyrim, they're still mythological. ;)
January 28th, 2013, 3:16 PM
Basilisk, and I like dragons a lot too. Not very original but I guess there's a reason for that haha.

Dragons, Unicorns, Pegasai, and Slenderman.
January 28th, 2013, 6:53 PM
I like Pheonixes, dragons and unicorns. Pheonixes are so fiercely and gracefully elegant. I like the fact that it never completely dies off but rises again from the ashes. As for unicorns, they are rather like horses, but with horns. I like horses a lot as they are really beautiful animals, so there's a connection to that. Dragons, although I used to dislike them before, have grown on me since and have shown me that they are powerful creatures who freely roam the skies of the mystical lands, as well as that of Pokemon. <3
January 28th, 2013, 6:57 PM
Harpies x)
Dragons are a close second, only because harpies are sometimes portrayed as really gross, rotting women...
January 28th, 2013, 11:24 PM
Phoenix. Because of the way it revives itself, and its near immortality.

Yamata no Orochi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamata_no_Orochi); Peng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peng_(mythology)).
Spriggans. Even though they're from Skyrim, they're still mythological. ;)
I wouldn't consider them mythological as within the TES universe they are very much real and outside of it are unique to the franchise.

I've always had a thing for dragons, harpies, sphinxes, phoenixes, hydras, and gryphons.
January 29th, 2013, 8:32 AM
Favorite by far is dragons. I remember a time when I was younger that I didn't want to read books unless they had dragons involved somehow (I've mostly gotten over that), so...yeah. I just like how they tend to be portrayed, and for that matter how many ways they can be portrayed in things.
A close second would be gryphons, or griffons, or however you like to spell that word. Not sure what their draw was for me, maybe it's the "part eagle" fact (and I've always had a liking for birds).
And then drawing from eastern mythologies, I also like the qilin/kirin/all the various versions of that particular beast - probably because a lot of depictions I see of it are dragon-like.
January 29th, 2013, 6:10 PM
Kitsune, Okami, Zombies (if they count) vampires, phoenixes... there's more but what I stated was what came to mind
January 29th, 2013, 6:43 PM
Anubis, Chimera, Sphinx, and Ouroboros are my favourites. Anubs definitely tops it for me, though. Bastet is also cool; I like my Egyptian Gods.. though I don't know if I can technically place them under mythology.. after all, it was once a religion, wasn't it?
they are Mythology..legends made by Ancient Egyptians according to what they wanted to believe..and Anubus is son of Seth who stood against his dad to help his aunt Isis in finding his Uncle Ozoris ...i love all the old Egyptian legends as well which includes Phoenix OF COURSE!! "from ashes i rise again to heal with my tears and play the sad magical melody only those with the purest hearts can see me" I love Phoenix so much or as we call it here Anka'a also the Grim shadow aka soul reaper...^^
January 30th, 2013, 2:55 PM

Dragons, I find them cool creatures and many different mythologies around the world surround them. I also think Phoenixes are cool.
January 31st, 2013, 3:57 PM
I've always liked the look of Dragons and Phoenixes, because a dragon can breathe fire, and a Phoenix can rise from the ashes.
February 1st, 2013, 11:06 PM
Ok so this question again what's your favorite Mythological Creature? I like Dragons, Unicorns, And Griffins.
Well you summed up mine xD But I should include phoenixes in there too xD

Company That Designed Burst BC Tailings Pond Was Hired by Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay
The Polley Mine tailings-pond disaster unfolding in British Columbia is being watched closely by those opposing the Pebble Mine proposal in neighboring Alaska's Bristol Bay region.
RELATED: Horrific Toxic Spill in B.C. Called Another Exxon Valdez
In fact the firm that designed the tailings pond dam that burst on August 4, sending four billion gallons of mining waste tumbling into waterways awaiting the return of the salmon, also worked on plans for Pebble Mine.
RELATED: Video: Watch 4 Billion Gallons of Mining Waste Pour Into Pristine B.C. Waterways
"Knight Piesold Consulting, the same international firm that designed the tailings dam for Mount Polley, was engaged by Northern Dynasty Mines to design the tailing storage facility for the Pebble project," reported The Cordova Times on August 6, quoting a 2006 report filed with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources by Northern Dynasty Mines Inc.
The Polley mine disaster is exactly the type of thing the opponents are afraid of, Native Alaska groups and others told The Cordova Times.
RELATED: With Billions at Stake in Bristol Bay, Mining Company Spends Big
"We don't want this to happen in Bristol Bay," said Kim Williams, of Dillingham, director of Nunamta Alukestai, which means Caretakers of Our Land, a conservation group of Alaska Native tribes and corporations, to The Cordova Times. "With all the similarities between Pebble and the Mount Polley copper mine, we're urging the EPA to take immediate action to finalize mine waste restrictions in Bristol Bay. Our hearts go out to those in British Columbia who live downstream from this devastating mine failure."
RELATED: Allowing Mining in Bristol Bay Puts Wildlife at Risk
Carol Ann Woody, a fisheries scientist at the Center for Science in Public Participation, spoke to the newspaper about damage to prime salmon runs, including, potentially, the Fraser River.
"It's Bristol Bay's worst nightmare," Woody told The Cordova Times. "It's exactly what we don't want to have happen. It's about Canada's premium salmon system, and it's occurring now when the run is just beginning."
As noted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Pebble dwarfs Polley.
"The Pebble project would be bigger—a lot bigger," wrote Joel Reynolds, western director and senior attorney for the NRDC in Los Angeles, on Huffington Post. "While Imperial Metals has been mining about 20,000 tons per day at its Mount Polley mine, Northern Dynasty has anticipated about ten times that at Pebble, with a tailings pond many times larger in footprint and scale."

The aftermath of the war in Iraq is not going as well as the lightning-quick victory. The country remains in chaos, with anarchy in many cities, including parts of Baghdad. The first U.S. official in charge of reconstructing Iraq, Army Lt. Gen. Jay M. Garner, left the country on May 6 and was replaced with L. Paul Bremer III.
"Alarmed by rampant crime and remnants of Iraq's vanquished leadership, the United States has signaled its intention in recent days to use a firmer hand in directing this country's political future and filling a worrisome security vacuum that has undermined U.S. credibility here in the weeks since the end of the war," the Washington Post reported Sunday. This reflects "a growing concern among U.S. officials and everyday Iraqis over disorder in a capital still partly without electricity or telephone service."
The number of U.S. troops in Baghdad was boosted the past month to 25,000 from 16,000. The number of troops in all Iraq also has been increased in recent days by 15,000, "bringing the U.S. presence to nearly 160,000," the Post reported. "There also are 40,000 British troops in the country."
"The Bush administration did a much better job planning the war than it did the postwar administration of Iraq," Ted Galen Carpenter, vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, told us. "This shows, again, that American military personnel are just not trained for police-type situations." He pointed to similar problems the past decade in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo.
The "nucleus" of a new Iraqi government, a precursor to democratic elections at some indefinite time in the future, was supposed to be in place by the end of May. That has been put off to June.
In the midst of all this, 10,000 Shiite protesters in Baghdad "marched peacefully through the capital Monday to protest the American occupation of Iraq and reject what they feared would be a U.S.-installed puppet government," AP reported.
To avoid Iraq becoming a quagmire, Mr. Carpenter suggested U.S. authorities move quickly to establish a new government run by Iraqis. It should "avoid ambitious nation-building," he said, echoing a theme President Bush himself used in his 2000 campaign.
"We don't have to stay in Iraq until it becomes a stable, model democracy," Mr. Carpenter said. "That could be decades, if it ever is achieved. Instead, turn it over to the Iraqis as soon as possible and abide by the result, even if it is not always desirable."
If not, he warned, "we could end up with Northern Ireland or Lebanon in the mid-1980s," two areas with longstanding ethnic and religious conflicts. "That could be an incredibly frustrating mission."
It's time to start planning for what Secretary of State Powell, in his famous "Powell Doctrine," called an exit strategy — one that lays the groundwork for an Iraqi regime that is as representative of its people as possible at this point, won't bring back Saddam (if he's still alive) and won't harbor terrorists. The exit strategy should be formulated, communicated to the American people and implemented as quickly as possible.

Jack Donaldson, a Pataskala native who was part of the Cincinnati Bengals' original coaching staff, died on Saturday. He was 86.
Donaldson was hired by Paul Brown and stayed on the staff from 1968-77. He spent his first season as defensive line coach and the rest as offensive backfield coach. After Brown retired following the 1975 season, Donaldson stayed on for two years to coach under Bill Johnson.
Donaldson earned undergraduate and master's degrees from Ohio State. He started coaching in high schools in Ohio, then moved to the University of Toledo and the New York Jets as an assistant before Brown hired him.
"Jack was an outstanding coach," Bengals president Mike Brown said in a statement. "He aided the development of running backs that our longtime fans remember well — Paul Robinson, Jess Phillips, Essex Johnson, Lenvil Elliott, Boobie Clark and Archie Griffin."
A memorial service will be held on Saturday in Cincinnati at the Deupree House.

Corridors and Parallels
AUM Fidelity
Live in the Netherlands
David S. Ware is one of the few leaders in jazz that doesn't mess with the formula. Throughout the 1990s, the only way to experience Ware (on record at least) was with the David S. Ware Quartet. He has changed drummers a few times and modified the sound of the unit somewhat, but it was always tenor sax, bass, drums and piano. The formula gets recalculated on his two latest releases, however: the quartet date Corridors & Parallels and the solo-sax recording Live in the Netherlands.
Corridors & Parallels is easily the better-and more unexpected-of Ware's two new records. Corridors breaks down and redefines Ware's quartet. Matthew Shipp plays synthesizer instead of piano on the CD, and thus the band's sound is realigned, venturing into Sun Ra's spaceways. Sometimes Corridors feels like an experiment in progress more than a cohesive idea, but it is still one of his most exciting and intriguing recordings. What has made Ware's quartet so great in the past, though, is what keeps them strong through this realignment: master musicianship, emotional impact and the band's ability to utilize space and silence. The long-developed relationship between Ware, Shipp, bassist William Parker and drummer Guillermo E. Brown enables them to venture easily into new territory.
Shipp employs programmed beats, sampled sounds and droning tones in various ways through the album's 11 tracks that straddle an uncomfortable line. When the synthesizer beats dominate, it causes serious discord. It disrupts the cohesiveness of the album and the band's organic spirit as the jungleish programmed beats of "Superimposed" and the R2D2-ness of "Jazz Fi-Sci" clash with the other pieces that do not employ the pulsing rhythms. But on tracks where the programmed beats are brought into balance, like "Straight Track" and "Sound-a-Bye," the synthesizer and other instruments are in joyous harmony; they are excellent pieces that retain the Ware group's emotional power. In contrast to the electronic experiments on Corridors, "Mother May You Rest in Bliss," a tender ballad dedicated to Ware's mother, towers above all the other tracks, and is one of the most beautiful compositions in his catalog.
From synths to sax alone, Live in the Netherlands is Ware's first solo record. For a decade, the David S. Ware Quartet has been one of the best bands in jazz because it is, in fact, a band. Ware has always let Parker and Shipp shine within the group, and he has perfect timing, knowing when to bow out or come in to a piece. Alone on stage, Ware's brilliant sense of timing is minimized. He sounds comfortable here, playing confidently and boldly, but his playing isn't as effective as when he plays with his group.
Live was recorded at the Zuid-Nederlands Jazz Festival in 1997, around the time of such Ware Quartet records as Godspelized (DIW) and Wisdom of Uncertainty (AUM Fidelity). All four of Live's pieces are based on the heavy, arduous solos he was blowing on those records, but some also hint at Ware's aptitude for more reserved playing. "6th Dimensional" is a great testimony to what Ware can breathe into a saxophone, but without any interaction with musicians, Ware's natural aptitude as a leader cannot make itself apparent.

FCCLA Student Members Shine at National Competition
By Nikki Sue Larkin, Utah FCCLA State Adviser
Last month, the 2013 FCCLA National Leadership Conference (NLC) was held in Nashville, Tennessee during July 7-11. With the theme "Discover Your Voice" 140 FCCLA student members and 70 FCCLA advisers and chaperones from Utah found their tune as they attended dynamic workshops and break-out sessions, participated in STAR Events (competitive events), met new people, and expanded their leadership potential. Great memories were made at the various tourist attractions which included the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman, and the Wildhorse Saloon.
The Gaylord Opryland Hotel/Convention Center where we stayed was absolutely amazing. With the meandering rivers, overhanging trees, vines and beautiful flowers, it was like Hawaii but with air-conditioning! Besides being beautiful and huge, it was laid out in the most complex maze-like configuration.
Our first full day was Saturday and many of the Utah delegation rode a bus through torrential rain to visit Music Row and other sights around the city. They ended up at the Ryman, where they learned the history of country music and got some great photos on stage. They dined and line-danced at the Wildhorse Saloon and did a little shopping on Broadway. That evening they walked to the Grand Ole Opry and enjoyed some down home country music. The last performer was Carrie Underwood who made enduring the evening of "twang" worthwhile.
On Monday the conference really got started. Half of the STAR Events began as well as the FCCLA exhibits and workshops. Monday night was the opening session and was exceptionally enjoyable. The Utah delegation received red-light-up foam tubes, which we all waved frantically whenever Utah was recognized. The FCCLA National Officers did a skit using the "Voice" as their model. The guest speaker was Doc Hendley, a young man who told us his personal story and how he turned his own personal failures into success through helping provide clean water for third world countries. He was a remarkable speaker and motivator.
Tuesday was the second day of competitions and workshops. The students enjoyed some great youth speakers, including the ruggedly handsome Mike Smith who spoke about his journey to help the disadvantaged. At the exhibits there were great ideas for activities and programs teachers could use to incorporate in their own FCCLA chapters. There were pamphlets and handouts to take and even cooking demos in the back of the room, with samples to taste. On Wednesday, advisers and students attended many wonderful workshops and at the closing session many Utah FCCLA members were recognized for their achievements.
"I thought the FCCLA National Leadership Conference was incredible! In my opinion, there is no better way to catch the fire and enthusiasm for FCCLA than attending NLC. It really gives you the big picture. This was my second time attending as an adviser, and both times I have attended I have left with so many great ideas and a larger desire to strengthen my FCCLA chapter back at home. Some of my favorite parts of NLC are the general sessions. I am always amazed by the grand scale of FCCLA on the national level, the professionalism of the national officers, and their ability to put on such an entertaining and enriching performance. Another favorite was the opportunity to judge STAR Events and again be amazed by the incredible abilities of FCCLA members. All in all, friendships were formed, much fun was had, and I was again and again reminded how much I love and believe in the FCCLA organization!" said Brittany Peterson, American Fork High School FCCLA Adviser.
The 2013 FCCLA National Leadership Conference culminated with an Awards Ceremony Thursday night. Congratulations to each Utah FCCLA student member who participated in a STAR Event. Students worked hard throughout the year to advance to the national competition and represented Utah extremely well.
Our Utah competitors finished with 34 gold medals, 62 silver medals, and 22 bronze medals. Kaitlyn Burgess from Syracuse High School won 1st overall in the Interior Design event and Edna Cuevas from Timpanogas High School won 2nd overall in Fashion Design event. Melissa Behunin, Madison Donohoe, and Kelin Bleazard from Cedar High School won 2nd overall in the Digital Stories for Change event.
The list of Utah FCCLA National STAR Events Medal Winners can be viewed HERE.
Maddie Barr, Utah FCCLA Vice President of Community Service and student at Carbon High School, described her time at the 2013 National FCCLA Leadership Conference saying, "My experience at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference was an unforgettable one! I learned new leadership skills, how to better communicate with adults and other members, and how to gain confidence for myself and build up others confidence. I loved meeting new people and I can't wait for what this year will bring for Utah FCCLA!"

"Fee war" or not, there's no denying big exchange-traded fund companies compete on cost. The rivalries are extending beyond management fees to include brokerage commissions and, more recently, the cost of index licensing. The last was near the top of the agenda at Index Universe's Inside ETFs conference, the biggest ETF event of the year, held last week in Hollywood, Fla.
Mark Wiedman, head of iShares, the largest ETF sponsor, told conference-goers that the company is reviewing its indexing contracts, a not-so-subtle shot across the industry's bow. The assertion that iShares' $591 billion in assets is nobody's cash cow follows Vanguard Group's shift of more than half a trillion dollars of mutual-fund and ETF assets away from well-known MSCI MSCI -1.5603715170278638% MSCI Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD79.49 -1.26 -1.5603715170278638% /Date(1481061723757-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 868760 AFTER HOURS USD79.49 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18855 P/E Ratio 31.29527559055118 Market Cap 7600513044.3573 Dividend Yield 1.4089822619197383% Rev. per Employee 410585 More quote details and news » (ticker: MSCI) benchmarks to less widely used FTSE Group and University of Chicago indexes, to keep a lid on costs. So, yes, the fee wars have become indexing wars.
For investors, the new rivalries bring trade-offs that don't come into play when ETFs simply lower their management fees. In this case, fund companies are seizing opportunities that arise from hotter competition in the indexing business. Besides the ascendant FTSE Group, there are players such as Nasdaq OMX NDAQ 2.559358618563059% Nasdaq Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD66.52 1.66 2.559358618563059% /Date(1481061600362-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1536681 AFTER HOURS USD68.5 1.98 2.9765484064942873% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 22699 P/E Ratio 23.340350877192982 Market Cap 10715066870.8514 Dividend Yield 1.9242333132892364% Rev. per Employee 940377 More quote details and news » (NDAQ) with fresh benchmark-building ambitions. Nasdaq's recent moves include launching thousands of new global benchmarks and buying a family of dividend-themed indexes. "We're already an MSCI competitor," Nasdaq OMX Group's John Jacobs told Barron's at the conference.
Fund companies have simply realized there are more indexing options to consider, and they want investors to adapt.
Take Vanguard's shift to FTSE Group and University of Chicago indexes. While the company predicts the move could save hundreds of millions of dollars over time, investors are right to focus on what it means for their investments today. By switching indexers, Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets VWO 0.41655095806720355% Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 36.16 0.15 0.41655095806720355% /Date(1481076000005-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 19632642 AFTER HOURS 36.23 0.0700000000000003 0.19358407079646017% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 13679 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.977876106194691% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (VWO), one widely owned ETF, is eliminating a 15% weighting in South Korean stocks. Investors who liked that exposure have to decide whether to live with the change or alter their portfolio. FTSE's indexers consider South Korea a developed market.
"We weren't thrilled with Vanguard's decision to leave MSCI and move to FTSE," Larry Whistler, president of Nottingham Advisors, said at one of the week's discussion panels.
A buy-and-hold alternative getting more attention lately is the four-month-old iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IEMG 0.4645760743321719% iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 43.25 0.2 0.4645760743321719% /Date(1481076000001-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3825750 AFTER HOURS 43.25 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 316 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.7610450867052023% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (IEMG). The fund offers a variant on the original MSCI index, with an 0.18% expense ratio that undercuts Vanguard by a small margin, to boot.
BROKERAGES' COMMISSION-free ETF trading, which may seem a more clear-cut win for investors, also involves trade-offs. The driver is the increasingly intricate set of alliances between fund sponsors and brokerages. Fund companies footing the cost of free trading expect assets to flow in return, especially into ETFs that haven't attracted many investors. Two weeks ago, discount brokerage Charles Schwab SCHW 0.6923076923076923% Charles Schwab Corp.

AFTER A RELATIVELY QUIET start to the year, new ETF launches picked up the pace in mid-February. The area of focus says something about the investing climate. There are new income-themed funds that could tempt the yield-starved to take on riskier investments, and a pair that should appeal to investors who worry about the value of a dollar.

Amid fears of a currency war comes the actively managed Pimco Foreign Currency Strategy ETF (FORX), which uses a mix of fixed-income and non-dollar currency exposure, aiming to help investors "preserve their purchasing power."

Human trafficking is probably the grittiest, most realistic and scary story I'm watching in "daytime" right now. It's well acted and hard to watch, but that makes it compelling drama. I'm sure it's only going to get better!
AJ's surprise was a bit much.
It hit me today that Celia's guardian is Dr. Joe. He appears beside Evelyn in the credits. So that's my guess.
Glad to see Celia and Pete back together. They're great together. But I was unhappy to see Pete confirm himself as a male whore (at least in the past).

I can completely see the guy playing Petey as being the new Cameron Mathison/Ryan Lavery.
And this is not a good thing. Rarely does anything good come of anything to do with Ryan Lavery.

Last year, I ran Black Fang's Keep for some friends.. This year, I am doing a follow-up, with a lot of different players. So far, my lineup is:
Human Barbarian, returning from last year
Eleven Wizard, new, huge LOTR fan.
(Possibly) Elven Rogue, also returning. Probably not.
2 more, yet to create characters. Coincidentally, all my friends who are playing are girls. I have a weird social circle.
If the rogue returns, my brother will not play, which is a Good Thing. I am also advancing everyone to third level, so everyone gets fun feats to play with, and new spells. I am running an original plot, roughly as follows:
PCs have been around Sandpoint for around a year. Various members of the party have left, but others have appeared. They have dedicated themselves to hunting down Black Fang, and keeping the Dragonbane sword they found. Recently, it has been stolen.
They are approached by the Elven wizard Faerinill Sunigail, who tells them that the sword might have been stolen by orcs under the thrall of a Serpentfolk, Sasheeriz, and taken to an ancient Serpentfolk temple of Ydersius. However, he believes that the Serpentfolk has shapeshifter into the form of a half-elf, Alviriss Kaelborn, who is watching them from the corner of the tavern. Sunigail tells them quietly that the half-elf has stolen his wand, which he needs back.
That night, both the elf and the half-elf are gone. There are drunken men everywhere, the most prominent a huge tiefling fighter. While he appears very drunk, he is the partner of Kaelborn,and was told to watch the rooms upstairs. However, he decided to enjoy himself, but is still watching out. The PCs need to distract him, and break into the room and stealthy wand.
The next morning, Sunigail meets them and they head off to the Serpentfolk temple. They are ambushed by the former thralls of Sasheeriz, the orcs. At this point, I start dropping hints that the elf Sunigail is actually Sasheeriz in disguise, and that he is using them to subjugate the temple defenses and use for sacrifice. The half-elf and tiefling are actually investigators looking into the murder if the real Sunigail.
When they reach the temple, there are two encounters: a big trap which isolates party members and drops snakes, and the boss. While the party is separated, Sasheeriz gets away to the main chamber, where he uses to sword stowed there by the orcs to initiate a ceremony, something to do with Ydersius. He is joined by more snakes and an animated statue or two. Before the party storms in, the investigators show up, and try to explain what they know. If the PCs do not kill them or something else happens, the two join in the final battle, as a rogue-2 and fighter-2. After that they return to civilization and hear a rumor of Black Fang, or something to that line of effect.
You all have any advice before I dive into this?
If you post a rules question, you will get answers quickly because most of us can speak to rules.
If you post a question of mechanical advice for playing the game (which feat next, best class, elf or half elf), you will get some answers, though it may take awhile for people with opinion on the topic to see and compose their thoughts on question.
If you post a question of mechanical advice for GMing a game (how to stop diplomacy abuse, cool trap ideas), you will get less answers as fewer posters are actually GMs.
Lastly, if you post a story and want to know if the story sounds good, you're addressing the smallest contingent of posters; GMs who know enough about the background story to be able to speak on the topic and have something useful to add.
I'm not discounting your post; it is a perfectly fine one. I read it yesterday and thought it sounded fine but I've never run a game out of the Beginner's Box, so what can I add? The name wouldn't have really helped get attention from anyone that could give you useful advice.
Party looks fine; it is the quintessential D&D five player party. It has no blatant holes and should be able to contribute to any situation admirably. Advancing level to 3 should be fine given than they have played level 1 -> 2 already. The Wizard and Cleric have the biggest upgrade due to access to a new level of spells.
The story is rather involved, which I suppose is a good thing... the party certainly won't guess what is coming. It'll teach your players to be paranoid, which can be fun but also somewhat annoying at times, heh, when they start questioning if every NPC is a dupe.
Now, as per the adage "no plan survives contact with the enemy", here are a slew of questions you should consider. They are all of the less-than-expected situations that come off of your plot description. Basically anywhere something could go wrong. You should consider, to some extent, how to handle each of them.
The answers aren't too important to us, but it is vital that you think about it (and if you already have, awesome, as handling what to do when players deviate from the plot is the hardest part of GMing in my experience). You want to avoid saying 'no' when a player wants to go somewhere or do something not in keeping with your plot thread. There are many ways around these derailing events, but sometimes the best way around is through and next thing you know, the story is somewhere else and all your carefully laid plans are useless.
So what if they don't want to get the wand back or decide to keep it? What if they try to hire the tiefling? What if they kill the drunk tiefling? What if they confront the half-elf immediately? What if they don't wait until evening to get the wand back? What if they decide to tail the half-elf instead of getting the wand back? What if paranoia hits the party and they figure out who Sunigail is before they reach the temple? What if the players don't trust Sunigail and tie him to the barbarian before entering the temple? What if they avoid the trap?
Hope you all have some good fun with the adventure. Soon you'll be ready to upgrade to the full edition and run some adventure paths! There's at least one featuring the same town, which would be fun (you could turn this set of PCs into NPCs in the new game; local heroes and the like, heh).
Good points. I'd say watch out for the wizard checking the wand to see if it is magical (such as, say, a bonded item) and for the accidental murder of one or both of the investigators before the temple.
The hard part about inexperienced players is that they don't know the shape of things. They don't know not to split the party, not to go one on one with someone, etc. I could definitely imagine the group sending the rogue to steal the wand solo, the barbarian and fighter to follow the half-elf out of town, and the cleric and wizard act as look out/distraction/get some sleep so they can have spells prepared tomorrow.
Just some things to consider which may happen.
Ok, in the temple of Ydersius, there are three chambers. One is a large puzzle room with three levers, one being partially stuck and requiring a STR check. When all are pulled, the door opens, but wooden bars come down around them separating the room into three parts. A snake comes down in each part.
Then there is a hallway, with nothing in it. When they reach the last chamber, Sasheeriz tells them to go back and secure the temple while he fiddles with some wards. Back in the entrance chamber, they meet the investigators. After that is resolved, they go to the altar room and have the last battle. Sound good?
Oof. We played today, and it was fun. They mostly went according to plan, the only thing that went slightly wrong was that my brother did not trust the Serpentfolk that was disguised, so he had to Suggest he leave, which worked. I must have rolled 7 critically, though, all confirmed... The Wizard player and Archer player did not show up, but the party managed fine.

So Donald, who leads the Race to Dubai by more than £1m, will now play Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic at Disney World.
"There was never really a decision to be made," Donald tweeted yesterday. "I have a chance of making history. See you all at Disney."

Remember walking outside last summer when it was so hot you felt like wilting? That's when 'Stardust Orchid' performs best. It is the first Catharanthus roseus with orchid and white blooms. The pastel pattern is consistent on large 1½ inch blooms, which are borne above glossy, dark green foliage and reflect light at dusk. Effective use of 'Stardust Orchid' would be outlining a path or garden feature to increase visibility as the sun sets.
'Stardust Orchid' is relatively pest free, heat and drought tolerant. Freedom of bloom in spite of the weather is a hallmark of this AAS Winner. When grown in well draining soil with full sun, 'Stardust Orchid' will reach 14-16 inches tall and wide when mature. Water the soil not the plant to avoid diseases.
One of its best qualities is the length of flowering. Spent blooms fall off of the plant so that deadheading is unnecessary. 'Stardust Orchid' is recommended for novice or experienced gardeners who want a long show of flower color with minimal garden care.
Genus, species: Catharanthus roseus
Common name: Vinca
Flower color: bicolor- orchid and white
Form: single
Size: 1½ inches
Height: 14-16 inches
Width: 14-16 inches
Foliage color: glossy dark green
Spacing: 10-14 inches apart
Unique qualities: first vinca with large white center
Length of time from sowing seed to flower: 80-90 days
Closest comparisons on market: 'Orchid Cooler,' 'Pacifica Lilac'

When the generators seemed to be on the brink of failing at a New York steakhouse left without power from superstorm Sandy, the owners decided to cook the hundreds of pounds of steaks, burgers, lobster tails and shrimp from the freezer — and hand it out on the street, the New York Post reported.
Illusionist David Blaine saw the food line and offered to help by entertaining the diners.
"David was rumbling by on his motorcycle, and he stopped to see why there was a line on 14th Street," one source said. Blaine then asked around for a deck of cards.
He used the cards and some spare silverware to perform magic tricks outside for more than an hour. About 800 people were fed.
