Hey everyone! I'm not sure if the forum rules prohibit me from this sort of post (my apologies if they do), but wanted to let folks know that I just put up for auction of a first printing copy of the Core Rulebook, with signatures from
-Jason Bulmahn (lead designer)
Here's a link to the auction. Regards!
Just a heads up, the latest version of Herolab broke Tokenlab (new xml formats), so I patched it.
- jar file download (dropbox)
General point: I've migrated off of MapTools in favor of roll20. This is primarily due to the fact that the MapTools scripting system drives me effing batty. roll20 uses javascript as its backend, and the development environment for javascript makes it much easier to manage. As such I'm freezing support for MapTools other than the occasional "HeroLab changed the datafile format" patch.
I'm curious, does anyone know if someone has comprehensively done what you are describing above ("stacking" the locations so they appropriately match the original RoRL AP monster and NPC placement)?
The best I could find is this over on BBG : http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1101397/comprehensive-rotr-variant-scenario -tweaks-more-gr
But the author of the variant admits he hasn't read the AP and just did what made sense to him.
I've received 30+ requests for the files via google docs request since I cut the files off from public access. Sadly, I have not granted anyone access due to legal concerns cited above :-(
I'd love to be able to open it up but don't have the time or the energy to navigate the wild shoals of copyright and IP infringement law. If there is a Pharaoh wanting, copyright/IP savvy lawyer out there with a desire to sort this out on their own dime, I'd be happy to chat! sozinsky at gmail dot com
EDIT: Alternatively a publisher who is willing to take a project like Desert of Desolation Pathfinder port on! This is such an epic and awesome fantasy series, it would be fantastic to see it get re-printed in full Pathfinder glory as a lvl 1-16 or 1-20 campaign and let a whole new generation of gamers experience it.
Ok, I've added the NPC name to the various output rolls. It doesn't look as nice as the impersonate thing, but it works just fine. Thanks for the feedback TGWtF!
Also discovered an interesting change in Herolab: weapons that crit on a 20 are now no longer "20/x2" (for example), but simply "x2". The 20 is implicit. That's been fixed too.
Yes, that was what I was talking about. I guess I could edit the macro so it at least uses the token name or something.
I think there's a flash impersonate thing I can do to get the icon showing up. If not, I'll just put in the name - I agree, it is annoying.
How's the Power Attack/Deadly Aim/etc. coming?
It isn't :-( Like I say above, I want to figure out a comprehensive way of attacking feat implementation that doesn't involve me manually coding up each one. So, something after the 1.0 release.
Two, the NPCs skill, cmd, and save rolls are still seen by players.
This is complete, download from the usual place.
the output of the NPCs for attack rolls is different in format to the output of PCs (I know this is probably because the rolls are secret rolls but is it possible to keep the impersonation?)
The main difference I'm seeing is that PCs have the impersonation icon to the left of the attack output, whereas NPCs have nothing. Is this the difference you are referring to? If so, then yeah, you are right, this is because the attack roles are private to the NPC/GM.
Version 0.22 released. This is a minor release (no framework changes) where I've overhauled how hit points are handled. Notably:
1) There are now two hitpoint buttons, "+HP" (to heal) and "-HP" to harm.
TGWtF, this should address your point #3 above!
You can download just the .jar file and put it in your Tokenlab/jars install folder, or you can do a fresh install by downloading the whole zip archive. New users should grab the zip archive. (Here's the install guide for new users).
I'll bang out #1 and #2 this week, as I'm on vacation!
Re: #4, I've been noodling this around, and thus far haven't made much progress in figuring out how this should work. I think my plan is going to be shoot to get the 1.0 prime release out, with all the basic features one would expect, and then focus on building tools that allow the users to construct feat macros on their own and contribute those macros up to a shared repository for other users to steal.
You don't need to use a PDF extractor with the Paizo PDFs. You can right-click an image right in the PDF, and select "Save As..." and you can save the image as a BMP or JPG.
This is also true. (Personally I find this too manual, but YMVW.)
For rescaling, the following trick works quite well.
Does anyone know if the Rise of the Runelords map folio is complete with all the encounter/ battlemaps?
It is mostly complete. Some of the battlemaps have changed. For example, the final boss fight at the very end of the AP has a different map. I think there are a few others that are different, but I could be wrong.
Scanning is incredibly laborious. Your buddy will blow more than $40 of labor time doing that. Easiest solution is to purchase the pdf and use one of the image export programs (Adobe Acrobat or Some PDF Export Export [free])
Gencon session last night was a blast - party really loved this scenario. There were four dwarves at the table, and at one point in the scenario the game turned into a spontaneous pub crawl. When they encountered the Maguffin
the last keg that Caiden Cailean drank from before the Test of the Starstone
the game temporarily turned into a giant drinking party. Good fun.
I am GM'ing this at Gencon on Saturday, so I whipped up a visual cheatsheet for myself on all the acts, characters, clues, and information.
It can be found here (Flickr link). I probably missed/messed something (this is a meaty scenario). Cheers!
If you are a HeroLab user, then the TokenLab utility will auto-generate the majority of the macros for you.
Definitely a lot of choices out there. The guide that heruca posted above is a good place to start.
Also worth mentioning that Paizo's web based VTT (Game Space) is going to be released at some point.
What value changes when you go into Basic Resources and click the up/down button for Crossbow Bolts?
There is a 'trackedresources' field in the xml that explicitly calls out what is tracked.
So I'm basically just using that.
My concern with hardcoding the fact that bolts go to crossbows, arrows go to bows, bullets go to sling, etc, is that it is a slippery slope. I've got a completist streak, so I'd have to go out and find every single piece of ammo and hard code into TokenLab the relationship between that ammo and every ranged weapon that uses it. Which, given the volume of Paizo material, gives me The Fear :-(
I did some more digging into this. I'm not sure if I can infer the relationship between the arrows and the weapon from the output xml file.
Here is a crossbow:
And here are the bolts:
Note that there is nothing in the xml file that explicitly says "these crossbow bolts are being used by this crossbow."
So I'm not sure this feature is possible :-(
Ok, that crit bug is fixed. I also added the feature for making NPC rolls private by default.
Rolled out a new release, can be downloaded here.
Fox, can you describe how you see the longbow increment thing described above working?
Description: parse a Herolab xml custom output and return a Java object conforming to the Herolab dtd specification.
public Object parse(File xmlFile, Class documentClass ) throws JAXBException {
JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new java.lang.Class[] { documentClass });
Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
Object o = um.unmarshal( xmlFile );
return o;
Ok, patch has been uploaded here. Really, it should work this time :-)
I will ponder how to handle rage/power attack/etc.
Argh, sorry, will post a patch in the next week or so. I've been thinking about things like rage and power attack/vital strike ... the main issue is that one of my design goals for this software was to keep it as rules dumb as possible. This works great for a lot of basic crunch but feats tend to make it a bit tricker, as Herolabs doesn't really export things like barbarian rage into a usable output format.
Anyways, thank you for the feedback!
Eek! That is true. That might be a deal breaker for this build :-(
Found this thread which is pretty informative.
Would appreciate any thoughts on a character concept I'm investigating for a Skull and Shackles campaign - a cutlass and pistol wielding tengu pirate! The below is for the first 10 levels. By 10th level the cutlass is +4/-1, and the Pistol is +8. (Which is my primary issue with the build ... while colorful, the offense isn't so great.) Side note, keeping the tengu as a race is a fluff requirement for me.
Race: Tengu Stats (20 pt buy): Str 10, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 16, Cha 7
Level 1: Rogue 1, with the Pirate archetype
Level 2: Gunslinger 1, with the Pistelero archetype
Level 3: Rogue 2
Level 4: Class: Gunslinger 2, Dex+1 (now 18)
Level 5: Rogue 3
Level 6: Gunslinger 3
Level 7: Rogue 4
Level 8: Gunslinger 4, Wis +1 (now 17)
Level 9: Rogue 5
Level 10: Gunslinger 5
Thank you!!
Here's some videos!
+1 to what Evil Lincoln said.
Paizo folks, if you find yourselves in the laborious hell of grinding out pogs for a demo/beta, let me know and I can bootstrap you off of a my reasonably complete (private) set of 'em built from Paizo art. (For example summon tokens I-V; goblin tokens; aberration tokens; etc).
Sorry, should have been more clear: I meant rip from epub to kindle. (I use Calibre.) Thanks for the quick response, I'll hold off if/until the plans change.
Whoo hoo!
Interactive story thread!
3 days before the the venture captains arrive, a stained Katapeshian blood bard hailing from Foreign Quarter in Absalom saunters into the camp. The place is already busy with men and beast. Great pens are being built onto Black Rock. Earth druids are transforming the black rock into the vast amphitheater, and long trains of vice ladened merchant caravans clog the eastern safe path.
The blood bard settles into one of the make-to betting and liquor stands. He watches the great black clouds boil on the horizon for a long while, his eyes glazed over with memory. Just before sunset, a shout is heard, and the camp turns to watch a dark ship appear on the horizon. It takes the ship over an hour to battle its way past the knives of black rock jutting out from the ocean, but the captain's skill is evident as the ship creeps an inevitable path into harbor.
From his bag he removes wooden pens, colored ink, and fine vellum. He hums a Dog Town gladiator dirge to himself, and sketches the ship's flag.
Captain #1, introduce yourself!

New paint helps makes Florida Avenue NE a safer road
A few months ago, I made a plea to DDOT to spend a few dollars on road paint, specifically to make crosswalks and bike lanes more visible for drivers. Here are some examples of visible progress.
At the corner of Florida Avenue and New York Avenue NE, DDOT repainted the crosswalks. Before, they had been marked with a type of thermoplastic tape which had rubbed off and rendered the crosswalk much less visible.
At Florida Avenue and N Street NE, the crosswalk includes a stop bar for traffic on N Street to supplement the stop sign at this intersection (which is out of the frame).
Bright, wide crosswalks mark the intersection of Florida Avenue and 4th Street NE next to the entrance to the Florida Avenue Market and Two Rivers Public Charter School.
The centerlines have also been repainted. This was taken looking west from Florida Avenue and 6th Street NE.
Previously, there was no crosswalk at 7th Street NE at Florida Avenue. Now the corner is properly marked for pedestrians.
Here's another view at Florida Avenue and 7th Street NE.
The corner of Florida Avenue and West Virginia Avenue NE is heavily trafficked by automobiles and pedestrians, since it serves as the crossroads of Gallaudet University, Trinidad, and folks heading to and from Capitol Hill and Near Northeast. All the lanes and crosswalks are now well marked here.
Finally, here's a shot of Florida Avenue at 11th Street NE. There are now well-marked crosswalks at every corner along the southern edge of Trinidad.
I've seen simple improvements like this on roads all over the District, not just on Florida Avenue. More roads could use this level of attention, and Florida Avenue needs more than just the cosmetic treatment of a new coat of paint to make it a complete street for all types of users. But it's great to see the city taking this simple step to make sure roads are properly striped.

Any thoughts on also narrowing some of the neighborhood streets? The sidewalks on 6th St NE between K and Florida are barely wide enough for a person, let alone a wheelchair. I'll agree though, that Florida Ave is one of the worst offenders, and still one of the worst streets in DC.
And, yes. This was a welcome improvement. I walked by the crews a few weeks ago while they were installing the new striping. I was amazed by how fast and simple the process appeared to be. The "paint" is actually a solid material that is melted onto the street, presumably so that it lasts longer, and takes almost no time to dry.
One of the other major issues with 6th Street NE is that it is a designated truck route (same as 4th). Joe McCann, the chair of the 6C Public Space Committee, has been active in trying to get this designation changed.
For Florida Avenue, a road diet has been endorsed by NoMa BID, Gallaudet University, ANC 6C, CHNNA, and others. This is an important public space improvement that has even been included in several DDOT and OP plans, but hasn't yet made it to the formal design stage or into a construction budget. It just makes no sense to have six lanes of motor vehicle traffic here, especially when it comes at the expense of trees and sidewalks.
Narrowing Florida Avenue (and making other simlar transportation improvements in NoMa/Near Northeast) will probably be on the ANC 6C agenda for December or January.
by Tony Goodman, ANC 6C04 on Nov 21, 2011 1:07 pm • link • report
Oh, neat. I'll need to get to one of these meetings. 6C04 runs itself so well that I've never felt compelled to need to attend one.
My ideal dream would be to make 6th St one-way, all the way from the Southeast Freeway, up to Penn St, and to use the reclaimed space for wider sidewalks and street trees (these blocks are currently treeless).
The current southbound portion only exists from K NE to Penn, and makes very little sense in the overall scheme of things. Southbound traffic on 6th isn't even allowed to turn left onto K.
There's a strong safety argument to be made as well for traffic calming on 6th. The area is home to an elementary school and a church with a very large and active congregation. There was an accident a few years ago that claimed the life of a young pedestrian, which resulted in a number of traffic calming measures and low speed limit. However, the street's width, double-yellow line, and lack of greenery all seem to make drivers ignore the speed limit.
Southbound trafic could be accommodated by funneling all southbound traffic from the Brentwood Parkway onto 4th St NE via Penn St. 4th allows southbound traffic along its entire length. For whatever reason, southbound traffic on 4th is fairly light compared to northbound traffic on 6th (and the lights are configured with the assumption that 4th receives way more traffic than it actually does). I think you could do it add a few extra cars without causing too much trouble, especially if you modified the 4th & Florida and 4th & K intersections to handle a bit more traffic.
There are also a handful of spots where you can safely cross NY Ave on a bicycle, although those take a lot of trial & error to find (and should be marked much more clearly). 4th, 5th, and to a lesser extent, 1st are all decent places to safely cross. However, sadly, there's no good way to get onto M St from the north.
That said, it's obvious that the traffic on 6th Street south of K knows that it's on a neighborhood street, while north of K, the lack of trees creates something of a signal that it's OK to go more quickly. So you have a good point that narrowing could help things out here.
The problem, of course, is the truck designation for the road, and the fact that southbound Brentwood Parkway traffic has to go somewhere. It seems like routing trucks onto Penn and 4th really just moves the problem elsewhere, making traffic in the market even more dangerous than it is now. Should the move be pushed further north, making trucks get onto New York Avenue after crossing the 9th Street bridge, if they're not for local deliveries?
by Geoffrey Hatchard on Nov 21, 2011 2:18 pm • link • report
How would that change traffic patterns that significantly? Coming off of the Brentwood Parkway, you'd simply end up on 4th instead of 6th.
Narrowing 6th north of Florida would more likely be done along with the (perpetually-impending) redevelopment of the Florida Market, and actually makes a fair bit of sense given the proposed traffic plan for the area that was floated a few years ago. Moreover, it would help achieve the stated goal of uniting the Gallaudet campus with the redeveloped market.
Heavy traffic isn't really the problem that I'm trying to solve. We're talking about a street that was widened at the expense of foliage and pedestrian amenities, in order to accommodate levels of truck traffic that no longer exist.
Right now, 4th St is capable of accommodating truck traffic, and receives fairly light traffic volumes. Diverting southbound traffic away from 6th St (for the 2 1/2 whole blocks where it's allowed south of Florida) shouldn't put too much strain on other roads.
4th is also a narrow street with stop signs and traffic lights. I don't think you'd see the "one way speedway" phenomenon that you do on streets like Constitution, which are wider, straighter, and have synchronized lights.
I was mostly making my comment about one-way streets becoming speedways just because I felt the need to get that on the record here in this thread! :)

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care...
On the way back from the three-hour round trip beer run, I stopped at Gananoque in the Thousand Islands in time to catch the International Space Station go floating by at 7:40 pm. I had heard that this was supposed to happen and, what with the family away on Spring Break at the in-laws, thought I would add it to maybe the shortest international trip I ever took. Forty central NY beer for fifty-five bucks... plus gas, plus the exchange, plus customs, plus two fee payments for crossing the bridge. But it's not about making fiscal sense, is it? It's about the Ithaca and Saranac mixed packs and that surprise of finding Ommegang in the far north of the country to the south. And knowing you can have a Cascazilla when Cornell plays Friday afternoon. And driving on the interstate with the windows down. And space hardware in the sky.

Clive Palmer has suffered twin blows to his bid to exert control of the Cape Preston port in the Pilbara after a court effectively rubbed him out of any involvement in the port in favour of his estranged Chinese business partner CITIC Pacific.
The Federal Court yesterday upheld a CITIC appeal against an earlier decision upholding his appointment as the security operator of the port.
Separately, Justice Neil McKerracher threw out a Federal Court challenge by Mr Palmer to have CITIC's security plan for the port cancelled in favour of one offered up by his resources firm Mineralogy.
The decisions, likely to be appealed by Mr Palmer, effectively confirm CITIC's position it should be entitled to run the port it built and help ease the Chinese company's concerns Mr Palmer could use control of the port as leverage to pressure it into settling disputes over payments of royalties from the Sino Iron magnetite mine.
The disputes stem from anti-terrorism laws that require major ports to designate a "security operator" at the port, and set out security measures and procedures to safeguard against any "unlawful interference" of maritime transport and facilities.
As CITIC's landlord at the project, Mineralogy was handed control of security at the multi-billion dollar Cape Preston port by the Federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport early last year.
That decision was subsequently challenged by CITIC as relationships between Mr Palmer and the Chinese State-owned conglomerate turned toxic.
CITIC President Zhang Jijing told WestBusiness early this year the company was concerned Mineralogy control of the port could disrupt its supply chain, and threaten its ability to export concentrate from the $11 billion Sino Iron project.
CITIC's initial challenge to the Department's decision – supported in court by the Department itself - was rejected earlier this year, but the Federal Court yesterday upheld an appeal to its earlier ruling, saying the Department of Transport could reassess its initial decision.
It is understood the Federal Government is instead likely to nominate the Pilbara Ports Authority, or the State Department of Transport, to take responsibility for security at Cape Preston.
Justice McKerracher also supported CITIC's argument that Mineralogy had no involvement in the day-to-day running of Cape Preston, and it was appropriate that CITIC develop a plan to ensure the security of the port.
Justice McKerracher said any underlying dispute as to who was legally entitled to occupy and operate the facilities should have no bearing on the Department's decision to back CITIC's security plan. He left the option open for Mineralogy to still submit its own plan, however.
The twin decisions put a substantial dent in Mr Palmer's claims to have wracked up multiple legal victories over CITIC, who he claims have refused to pay millions of dollars in export royalties from Sino Iron.
Separate legal disputes about royalty calculations, and over a CITIC claim Mr Palmer misappropriated $12 million from a port management fund are still before the courts.
A spokesman for CITIC yesterday welcomed the Federal Court decisions, saying CITIC Pacific remained committed to the development and operation of the Sino Iron Project.
A spokesman for Mr Palmer was contacted for comment.

Tiny steps
Write down small achievements to stay on track with meeting your goals
By Patti Carmalt-Vener 01/02/2014
Dear Patti,
My New Year's resolution is different than my friends. Rather than self-focused objectives such as losing weight, stop drinking/smoking, get fit, get organized or get out of debt, I want to stop allowing people to push me around. My goal is complicated because it's changing something deeply interwoven in my personality since childhood and seems almost impossible to achieve. Instead of improving me, I want to focus on how I am with others. I hope this doesn't mean my resolution is indicative of me concentrating on others instead of myself.
Rather than blame others for being selfish and feeling sorry for myself, I'm trying to see whether there are recurring patterns in my relationships. I have three siblings but I'm the only one that takes care of our mother. My boss, my husband and even our neighbors often make me feel picked on and taken advantage of, typically ending up in one-sided relationships. If a relationship starts out where I'm devalued, I don't put up boundaries or become confrontational. Even when the relationship starts out healthy, I undermine it by dismissing acts of wrongdoing or assuming responsibilities that clearly aren't my own. I want to make significant changes in 2014 but realize most people don't stay consistent with their resolutions.
Any thoughts on being successful at this?
— Natalie
Dear Natalie,
Many New Year's resolutions are about wanting to change the person and not about changing relationships but, if you look closely, many of these wishes have a partial relationship component. Many Americans want to stop drinking or smoking so as to have a longer, healthier life, but it's also because they want to grow old with a spouse or live to see their children grow up. That's healthy. I think your resolution is a good one — not dependent but fueled by healthy self-love and the desire to have worthwhile relationships.
I recommend exploring professional counseling with a knowledgeable, compassionate psychotherapist. By providing a safe place to explore and experience your feelings fully, your therapist will help you identify emotions underlying your self-destructive behavior. Therapy can also help you develop an awareness of situations, people and behaviors that provoke the return of unhealthy reactions.
Make a list of all the current relationships where you want to accomplish change in 2014. Review your list carefully and narrow it down to five. Pick the five most important relationships and that significant change will support you to feel hopeful, renewed and positive. Now go someplace where you'll be uninterrupted. Sit quietly, get comfortable, close your eyes, breathe slowly and gently and allow yourself to completely relax. Let all the tension leave your body. Listen to the inner awareness that will guide you in understanding yourself, your sense of purpose and your true nature. Be receptive to what your wise self really knows deep inside and what it's trying to communicate to you.
Think about what would make you totally happy. If you have a chance to experience these relationships in a way that's true to who you really are, what would your life look like? If you had a chance to do this relationship all over and experience life together true to how you really want it, what would the relationship look like? When you're 90 and reflecting on the past, are you going to say with satisfaction, "We had a full, honest, healthy relationship?" Or will you view it with regret, accompanied by the words, "I wasted my life putting time into this relationship?"
Make a list of everything you want to change in the relationship. Write clear, small achievements to keep you on track and give you the confidence to continue. Refuse to indulge in self-neglect and always putting others first. Eliminate the inner voice that's critical, labeling, belittling or preaching. Substitute negative thoughts with encouraging, healing thoughts of self-love and support. Be gentle and loving toward yourself when you make a mistake. Celebrate your successes with recognition and support. When you slip up and give too much and ask too little, examine how you can rebalance the relationship.
Nothing big gets accomplished overnight. Change of any kind is challenging, but if you persist with small steps and appreciate each personal accomplishment, you can make real progress.

Lakers lead, 58-56, at halftime
Andrew Bynum wasn't in the game, still sidelined by a knee problem. But where was Kobe? He was there, but not much in the box score.
Bryant was 1 for 9 with one assist through the first 19 minutes, 43 seconds of the game, and he didn't score his second basket with 4:17 left in the second quarter.
And don't think for one the Nuggets didn't take advantage of Bryant's lack of offensive presence. With Bryant seemingly invisible, the Lakers lost their comfort level and the Nuggets climbed out of their 10-point hole and ran out to an eight-point lead in the second quarter.
Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol, though, stepped up and got the Lakers moving again and they led, 58-56, at halftime.
The Nuggets attempted a game-tying shot at the buzzer, but Sasha Vujacic blocked Linas Klieza's shot from the corner. Gasol had 18 points, while Walton scored 12 in the first half. They were the only Lakers in double figures. The Nuggets had four in double figures, led by Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, who each had 14 points.
Bryant had four points on 2-of-10 shooting from the field and still only one assist in the first half.

Kyle Baker is one of the most versatile comics creators working in the business today. My gateway to his work was his side-splitting Why I Hate Saturn, a decidedly adult graphic novel. Since then, I've sampled his histories of slave revolts, family comedy collections, and many other works with wildly varying artistic and narrative styles.
In the Plastic Man books, Baker invokes the maddest, wildest spit-takes of comic and cartoon history, with silly plotlines that had me spraying water out my nose -- Plastic Man and his FBI girlfriend borrow Superman's time-machine to take Abraham Lincoln (who turns out to be John Wilkes Booth in clever disguise) back in time, end up bringing a dinosaur to civil-war America, where the maddened saurian squishes a Klan rally -- and that's just the set-up.
The artwork owes a debt to MAD's Sergio Argones and Will Eisner, by way of the Incredibles' stylish palette, dipping into Tex Avery for the spit-takes. Every layout has hidden gags for the attentive reader. This is what underwear pervert funnybooks should be like: self-reflective, over-the-top, and political.

An 18-year-old woman has been abducted and sexually assaulted by up to five men in the Taranaki town of Waitara.
She was taken from outside a house on Cracroft Street and put into a dark-coloured, large station wagon between three and 3:30 this morning, police said.
The teenager was driven towards Waitara beach and was sexually assaulted before she managed to escape.
She ran to a nearby house, and locals drove her home before police were called.
Detective Sergeant Gerard Bouterey said police needed to hear from anyone who may have seen the vehicle, as well as the Good Samaritans who took her home.
He said while it appeared to have been random incident, the community needed to remain vigilant and keep its eyes peeled for any suspicious activity.

The day at the Auto Club Finals in Pomona started off in classic fashion with the track walk and driver introductions. Down the first round of eliminations for the top fuel nitro, first pair between Morgan Lucas and Terry McMillen; where Terry smoked the tires right at the 330 ft mark. The next pair rolled in and Clay Millican took the win against Troy Buff as he smoked the tires at 60 ft. Next set to go down on the track, Brand Bernstein took the win as Billy Torrence got loose just past 60 ft. and sideways. Brandon smoked the tires just past halftrack. The next pair up was the already crowned top fuel champion Shawn Langdon and Steve Torrence. Shawn has a clean run, but Steven Torrence ran into issues and banged the blower, deploying the chutes between 60 ft. and 330 ft. and coming to a stop before the lights at the end.
The matchup between Doug Kalitta and Tony Schumacher was one of the fastest of the day here at the Auto Club Finals. By Doug running 3.757 seconds at 328 mph, he brought Tony's season to an end. The Antron Brown and Bob Vandergriff match-up brought Vandergriff's day end, by smoking the tires just around 60ft. Dave Grubnic blew the blower off the top of the engine, just before the finish line and still got the win for the round. The match-up of Spencer Massey and Brittany Force brought up the end of the round for top fuel. Brittany's crew chief had predicted a high 3.7 seconds for her run but came up with a 4.594 pedaling it, going down the track and coming out with the win to move onto the next round.
The first match-up of nitro funny cars came up fast with Jack Beckman in his DSR (Don Schumacher Racing) Dodge and Cruz Pedregon in the Snap-On Camry. Cruz came out on top with a 4.101 run. The pair of Del Worsham and Gary Densham came in and Del came out with a 4.100 time for the win. As Courtney Force rolled into the water box for the first round of eliminations, the chutes popped out on the line, but as she went down the track against Bob Tasca, she spun the tires near the top end before the lights, giving Tasca the win. The next pair up was John Force and Bob Bode where John ran 4.036 at 327.12 The Alexis Dejoria and Matt Hagan run resulted in 4.059 seconds from Alexis and 4.056 from Matt. Ron Capps took the win over Robert Height as Robert lost traction and smoked the tires near the top end.
The last nitro funny car pair was a wild run for both drivers as Tim Wilkerson nearly crossed the center stripe at half- track and Jeff Arrend got loose shortly after. As track prep went on for pro-stock cars, the car of Jeff Arrend sat on the top end of the track. Track prep ended with the car still being attended to for unknown reasons. As moving into the semi-finals for pro stock motorcycle was Sullivan versus Polachek and Ray versus Krawiec. For pro stock car leaves K. Johnson versus A. Johnson and Perkinson versus Jones. In funny car it slides John Force who pedaled the car about 7 or 8 times to get it going straight back on the track against Gary Densham and Matt Hagan vs Cruz Pedregon. Finally, top fuel pitted Brittany Force against Doug Kalitta and Shawn Langdon and Morgan Lucas head to head. For top fuel semi-finals, Brittany Force smoked the tires right off the line between 60 feet, giving the win to Doug Kalitta. Shawn Langdon ran 3.756 seconds at 326.87 mph against Morgan Lucas, although some unknown objects came off both cars around half-track. Morgan's car seemed to just lose post and coasted the rest of the way. In the finals for top fuel resulted in putting the number 4 qualifier Doug Kalitta and number 2 qualifier Shawn Langdon head to head. John Force ran a 4.043 at 314.83 mph and moved on to the finals here at Pomona. The next pair was Matt Hagan and Cruz Pedregon, the number 4 and number 6 qualifier head to head. Cruz Pedregon dropped a cylinder near the top end and lost to Matt Hagan, resulting in a Matt Hagan vs John Force final for the 49th Annual Auto Club Finals at Pomona. The next pair was Rickie Jones and Buddy Perkinson, where Richie Jones took the win over Buddy Perkinson to match the ET of Allen Johnson to head into the finals together. In the pro stock motorcycle semi-finals, a 6.957 second run from Eddie Kraewick takes him into the finals to go against Scotty Polachek who ran a 6.949 against Katie Sullivan, who would have been the 4th female pro stock motorcycle rider to go into the finals. Eddie Kraewick takes the win at the Auto Club Finals with a 6.968 at 192 in pro stock motorcycle. In pro stock car, Rickie Jones takes the win with a 6.584 at 210.28. Nitro funny car rolls into the water box for the last time this season putting the 16 time champ John Force against DSR's Matt Hagan, with Matt Hagan taking the win. Shawn Langdon came out over Doug Kalitta in top fuel.

Airbus Divisions What we do
Airbus Group unites the capabilities of three market leaders: Airbus, Airbus Defence and Space, and Airbus Helicopters.
Airbus Group: We make it fly
Airbus Group is a global pioneer in aeronautics, space and defence-related services, creating cutting-edge technology.
136,574 employees
From 89,000 in 2000, we have raised our total workforce to more than 136,000 today
The Airbus Group operates in more than 170 locations worldwide. Most of the Company's order book and growing industrial footprint now lies beyond its European borders.
Such examples can be seen in aircraft final assembly lines in Tianjin, China, and Mobile, Alabama (US). We also produce helicopters in Brazil, maintain research centres in Singapore, India, the US, China and Russia, and we run Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) hubs on five continents.
Airbus Group's strong European roots
As the largest aerospace and defence company in Europe, the Airbus Group is proud of its European roots and achievements. We make a vital and growing contribution to the economies of our home countries, France, Germany, Spain and the UK, and around 35,500 of our suppliers (or 65% of our total spend) are in our home markets. We also help to preserve European competitiveness on the world stage: since our foundation in 2000, we have created 15,000 new high-tech jobs in Europe alone.
Airbus: setting the standard for the aviation industry
Airbus is a leading global manufacturer of the most innovative commercial aircraft. Its comprehensive product line comprises highly successful families of aircraft, from the single-aisle A320 Family to the double-deck A380.
Airbus' focus on evolutionary technology
Over the last 45 years, Airbus has built a reputation on reacting to market demands, developing and evolving its products to meet the needs of customers and the wider world. As such, technological innovation has been at the core of Airbus' strategy since its creation.
The A320neo (new engine option) is the latest upgrade to the A320 Family. These new A319, A320 and A321 models feature new engines and large wingtip devices known as Sharklets. Together they result in a 15% fuel-burn reduction, corresponding to an annual CO2 reduction of 3,600 tonnes per aircraft.
In the wide-body segment, the A350 XWB brings together the very latest in aerodynamics, design and advanced technologies to shape the efficiency of medium- to long-haul operations. The aircraft's innovative all-new carbon fibre reinforced plastic fuselage results in lower fuel burn as well as easier maintenance.
Meanwhile, the combination of low operating costs, flexibility and optimised performance makes the A330 Family popular with an ever-increasing operator base.
The A380 provides airlines with the best opportunities to optimise revenue across their networks, with more seats for growth, connecting traffic and higher yields by offering more capacity when and where people want to fly.
The A380 is also the passengers' favourite aircraft, 60% of them are willing to make an extra effort to fly on it. That's why Airbus has launched an A380 website for travellers who want to experience the iconic double deck aircraft.
You can now book your A380 flight
A selection of Airbus' images
The A330 Family covers all market segments with one twin-engine aircraft type and is designed to carry between 250 and 300 passengers. There is also a dedicated cargo variant, the A330-200F.
Airbus' A320 Family includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321. Each aircraft shares the same systems, cockpit, operating procedures and cross-section.
The A350 XWB wide-body aircraft offers improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and lower noise levels during departure, cruise and arrival.
The double-deck A380 is the world's largest commercial aircraft. It offers superior economic performance, lower fuel consumption, less noise and reduced emissions.

Objectives: Examine energy drink/shot and regular and diet soft drink use among United States secondary school students in 2010–2011, and associations between such use and substance use.
Methods: We used self-reported data from cross-sectional surveys of nationally representative samples of 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students and conducted multivariate analyses examining associations between beverage and substance use, controlling for individual and school characteristics.
Results: Approximately 30% of students reported consuming energy drinks or shots; more than 40% reported daily regular soft drink use, and about 20% reported daily diet soft drink use. Beverage consumption was strongly and positively associated with past 30-day alcohol, cigarette, and illicit drug use. The observed associations between energy drinks and substance use were significantly stronger than those between regular or diet soft drinks and substance use.
Conclusions: This correlational study indicates that adolescent consumption of energy drinks/shots is widespread and that energy drink users report heightened risk for substance use. This study does not establish causation between the behaviors. Education for parents and prevention efforts among adolescents should include education on the masking effects of caffeine in energy drinks on alcohol- and other substance-related impairments, and recognition that some groups (such as high sensation–seeking youth) may be particularly likely to consume energy drinks and to be substance users.

City Budget Latest: Two Percent Tops
The Watertown city council has laid out what Mayor Jeff Graham calls 'the parameters' for next year's budget and taxes.
"If there is to be any levy increase, it would have to be two percent or less," Graham said.
The council's guidance comes a week after city manager Sharon Addison presented a very early draft of the budget that included a hypothetical 34 percent tax hike.
The budget as proposed was $41 million, a six percent increase over this year's $39 million spending plan.
In order hold the increase at two percent or less, the city will have to cut about $800,000 from the budget and dip into the city's cash reserves to the tune of $1.6 million.
The use of that much cash reserve makes some city officials nervous, but "Sometimes you just have to do things that make you a little uncomfortable," said council member Teresa Macaluso.
Addison is expected to take the council's input and put together a budget proposal for release later this month.

Find out how you can use the latest generation of UV-curable inks and coatings to add value to signs, graphics, packaging, and other screen-printed applications.
By Mike Young
Shifting business core to
multiprocess operations
Screen-printed special effects provoke a significant response from market-hungry promoters for new ideas by exploring creative and innovative solutions that add value. Many offset and digital companies are now embracing the screen process because they felt it was the missing link to expand their business and bottom line. One offset company with 12 presses said the move into screen was bold because they considered it a backward step! Their expectations have since been superseded in less than a year by an average of 100,000 sheets weekly—a runaway success as the appetite for creative finishing soars.
Industry's inclination is beginning to shift from a single-process to multiprocess approach as print buyers' needs are becoming more passionate in today's highly competitive environment. It has been estimated that 35% offset printers require some form of special effects that they are unable to perform in house. Printing companies not into the special-effects-finishing market risk leaving money on the table.
While difficult to determine in present-day screen printing, consumables suppliers generally agree that offset/digital printers are supplementing their in-house capabilities with screen printing at the annual rate of 5%, which is expected to grow some 15% in the immediate future. Even though the practice of special effects is still much in its infancy, one training school enrolls some 60 participants monthly just to learn the art of it.
An exceptionally high level of interest also exists in exploring features that could enhance many industrial applications too, making an array of products stand out with greater prominence. Special-effects screen printing can potentially replace foil stamping, doming, silvering and micro-embossing—effects that, in many instances, are costly and very slow in-house processes. While illusionary 3D labels are attention-grabbing, taking the feature to another dimension with hypnotic, 4D dome labels reflects stunning imagination of space, haptic-friendly motion, and depth under any printed domed logo/label.

Secret Santa program a success once more
Washington-Morgan Community Action completed yet another successful year of the Secret Santa Program. The program served 633 children of disadvantaged Washington County families in 2012. We could not accomplish this task without the community support we receive, year after year, from individuals, business, churches, clubs and organizations.
A special thanks to Bob Kirkbride and Marietta Ventures LLC for the donation of the distribution center, the Beverly American Legion Riders for organizing a toy run, and the First Unitarian Universalist Church for sponsoring a pasta dinner.
I would like to thank the Marietta Welfare League, Wal Mart and the Peoples Bancorp for their financial contributions. I would also like to thank the Marietta Community Foundation for their generous grant through the following funds; Dorothy A. Oyster Advised Memorial Fund (Jerrie Berentz, Bonnie Miller), J Francis and Lillian Strecker Smith Fund, Karl D. and Anna Schultheis Marsch Funds, Broughton-Sugden Fund (Mary Vituccio, Ruth Broughton, George Broughton), F. Buchanon, J. H. McCoy, H. Switzer and Mildren Fund (William Mildren Jr. and Jane Mildren), Betty Markell Hallock Memorial Fund, Barb and Jack Moberg Charitable Fund (Barb and Jack Moberg), Juhola Family Charitable Fund, Tony Popp Memorial Fund (Tony Popp), Charles and Beulah Rhodes Memorial Fund.
And last but not least I would like to thank the following volunteers their hard work and dedication to the program; Janet Chase, Carol Martin, Al Blasko, Bobby Perry, Rebecka Hern, Delmer Doan, Christina McVicar, Maureen Boggs, Jessica Halow, Sharon Karcher, the Sandhill United Methodist Church youth group and employees of Thermo Fisher.
The generosity of so many speaks volumes about the commitment to our community and to the children of Washington County.

British Fencing's no.3 Junior Sabreur and 'Local Hero', Soji Aiyunero, was invited to St. Pancras to attend the unveiling of the London2012 Olympic Torch. Along with Denise Lewis, Jonathan Edwards, Lord Seb Coe and several other 'Lloyds TSB Local Heroes', Soji held the prototype of the new Torch.
Soji said "I was really proud to be involved with the launch of the Olympic Torch. I am very excited about the 2012 Games being held in London, and after being lucky enough to hold the new Torch I am even more inspired to do everything I can to represent Great Britain in fencing in the 2016 Olympics."
8,000 torchbearers will carry the Olympic Flame around the UK during the 70-day Olympic Torch Relay, which starts at Land's End on May 19 2012. The 2ft7in-long, gold-coloured lightweight beacon is perforated with 8,000 holes to represent the number of torchbearers who will cover the route next year.

Textbook Like the versatility. She is fast. She heals and dishes out damages from a grenade or up to 120 dam from the cockler
Posted on 4 January, 2013 - 18:27
Its very hard to pick one, I love Dave as he can run so far and can deal dmg and has a grenade. I also like Madame Lahague as her Rifle is so nice. Merci is so great cause she heals all around her BUT cannot heal herself which is sometimes bad but cool. Pete is fun to begin with as he has massive dmg potential. Richie with his 3 arrows is like a pete with more grenades, lots of fun. Im not sure who to buy next so thats why I will also add my dislikes. I do not like the fact that some Soldiers can only use a very limited range of weapons that has for instant good melee dmg but bad range dmg. I understand why due to balance but there are some soldiers who has 18 Points and can shoot 4 times with a rifle! Dacova. Now having to face 2 of them makes the game unbalanced. I also dislike the fact your main radio soldier cannot use a rifle, why not? I think one should limit or have a custom limit mode where one can limit which different type of heros can play for instant only one soldier allowed etc. That might balance things out. I dont like to loose its fun to play but thats my two cents...
Posted on 4 January, 2013 - 19:49
Kate, no contest. I like to crunch numbers and really think about adding other Soldiers to my roster but when the time cane (early on) to get Kate I didn't even need to: Light Medic is the best class.
Posted on 4 January, 2013 - 21:20
I picked Juan, that guys a beast, great dmg great energy (18) nice. :) havent tried textbook kate, good idea! :)
Posted on 4 January, 2013 - 22:42
I voted Kate as well, not because I own one of them, but rather they keep owning me in PvP. I should have got her instead of the Russian and some others. Not fully realizing what each soldier and weapon does, wasting money. My own fault, really.

I love Gus he the most sexy person in this game who else can tank like this sexy beast
Posted on 5 January, 2013 - 05:51
Juan DaCova. He can fire the Avenger HSR twice in one turn. Nuff said.
Posted on 5 January, 2013 - 09:28
I picked Juan, I swapped his weapon with Sneaky Pete and Juan can shoot the rifle 4 times if he doesn't move. That is 80+ damage in a turn. :)
Posted on 5 January, 2013 - 15:54
I think Juan is overpowered at the moment to be honest... I have to get him to stay even with those fighting me with 2 of him!

Over the past decade, many researchers have collected data on human happiness in an effort to understand how we can get more of it as individuals, communities, and as a nation. A persistent finding in all of the available evidence is that religious faith is the single most important determinant in predicting life satisfaction. This presentation lays out the evidence on faith and happiness. It shows how the religiosity of Americans, through happiness, is a key to our national character, prosperity, and strength.

Are you familiar with function notation at all? If so, then note that the tangent function is a function, so "tan(x)" means "f(x)", where the specific name of the function "f" is "tangent". Just as f(a + b) does not mean the same thing as f(a) + f(b), so also tan(45 - 30) does not mean tan(45) - tan(30).
To simplify tan(45 - 30), you have to use the angle-difference formula they gave you.

The year is 2089. The Earth is in ruins from two major nuclear wars. Civilization has collapsed and the majority of mankind has been wiped out. Each day is a struggle to find food and water to live, weapons for defense, and gear to withstand the harsh unforgiving wasteland that was once earth. The city centers and areas once called home and work are now populated by grotesque mutated humans, minds rotten from radiation and sickness. Bandits fight for control of what's left, executing everyone they come across or using them for slave labor and food. This is the world as it exists today, there is no law. Kill or be killed. Survive or Die.

If you find yourself suddenly in need of a lawyer, you are probably already in a high stress situation and have now added a major new stressor to your life – the task of finding someone to represent you. In spite of and maybe because of the large number of lawyers in the world, finding one that is a good fit for you can be very difficult. Fortunately, you live in an age when you can easily access information from your home computer. Starting with this article and its guidance you can successfully these legal shark infested waters.
Talk to People
Your natural instinct is most likely going to be to hit Google hard but before you rev your search engine, the best place to start is to talk to people you already know. Real world connections can still be a valuable source of advice. To begin, check with your employer and ask if there are legal services available to you at a discounted rate. An in-house lawyer probably isn't the best choice if your case requires specialized knowledge but for basic document preparation this can be a simple and affordable option.
Your next step should be to ask people who have been in a situation similar to yours. Has your coworker been through a divorce or your sister-in-law written her will? They may be able to point you toward a good attorney – or maybe tell you who to steer clear of. You can benefit from others' positive and negative past experiences. At the same time, it's important to remember that there are numerous specializations within the practice of law. The lawyer who helped your best friend establish a medical power of attorney for his parents might not be who you want for your wrongful termination suit.
With that in mind, lawyers you already know can be great sources of advice when looking for someone to represent you. They may not specialize in your specific type of case but they probably know someone who does. From old law school classmates to fellow members of the state or local Bar Association, lawyers typically have a network of peers to recommend or discredit.
Go online
If you don't have anyone to personally ask for advice, that's ok. There are many resources on the internet to help you make this difficult decision. An excellent place to start is one of the reputable referral sites like Avvo, FindLaw, Help Lawyer, and Lawyers.com, all of which have been recommend in Consumer Reports. You can use these sites to find basic contact information and to read client reviews. The website for the state and local bar association is likewise a good resource. It can answer frequently asked questions about laws in your geographic area and allows you to look up whether a lawyer has any legal infractions.
Set up an appointment
You may feel confident that based on your friend's recommendation and the attorney's online reviews, you're ready to sign on the dotted line. Resist the urge to rush. It's essential to ensure that your lawyer is a good fit for your personality. You may need to disclose sensitive information to this person and if you don't feel that you can trust them, you may not be able to be totally honest. You may simply find them too abrasive or think they seem disorganized. Initial meetings are usually free (but be sure to ask first) and can make your life much easier.
There is also a series of important questions to ask during this first appointment. You want to be sure you understand the terms of your agreement before you commit yourself.
Remember, this is an important decision and you need to thoroughly research before making it. Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to ask question, even after you've signed the contract. If you're not happy with how your case is being handled, speak up. Being proactive now will save many headaches in the future.

Key Features
* Focuses on Zuntz's contribution to high altitude physiology and aviation medicine
This book focuses on the life and work of Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920), a German physiologist, who made significant contributions to high altitude physiology and aviation medicine.
He achieved fame for his invention of the Zuntz-Geppert respiratory apparatus in 1886 and the first treadmill (Laufband) in 1889. He also invented an X-ray apparatus to observe cardiac changes during exercise and constructed a climate chamber to study exercise under varying and sometimes extreme climates.

The quote in the title is a sarcastic remark by one of the internet Assadists, and is part of a very unintelligent attempt to "expose" the FSA. It comes with a video that speaks for itself, and a story that only makes sense in the fantasy world of Assadistan.
The video first shows the mortar and artillery damage to the Rashid Mosque and the residential buildings around it in the Sa`d al-Ansari neighbourhood of Aleppo. This is followed by the moment the minaret is bombarded in such a way that it completely collapses. The video was originally posted on several well known activist channels from Aleppo.
It was then reposted by some Assadist channels, one called "Eretz Zen" and another called "Shabe7Syria". What's in a name, right? The story goes: the FSA is framing Assad, they blew up the minaret themselves and filmed it in order to show that the "Syrian Arab Army[1] has suddenly turned anti-Muslim and anti-Sunni." That's right, suddenly. As if this hasn't happened already to dozens of other Mosques[2] during the past year and a half. As if several thousand Islamic scholars haven't been harassed and arrested, including nearly a hundred killed and many more made refugees. As if there isn't an imperial warrior cult right at the heart of this regime and its forces, which fanatically disbelieves in God and worships the Assad family and forces others to submit and proclaim that "there is no God but Bashar" or that "there is no God but Maher" or face ritual slaughter by knives, burning or being buried alive. These are things that stand out in the midst of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Sunni Muslims and the total destruction of their surroundings. But it doesn't end there, this regime is not only anti-Muslim and anti-Sunni: it is anti-everything that is not part of it or simply stands in the way.
One of the "arguments" goes: the FSA was waiting for it to happen! This is concluded from nothing other than the fact that it was filmed. As if whoever filmed all those other Mosques that were bombarded in the past wasn't there already as well. Moreover, the activist is there to film the damage that had already been done to the minaret of the Mosque, as well as to the surrounding residential buildings. It's just that the job wasn't finished yet; hardly anything gets hit just once which has been something very typical of these bombardments. Another "argument" goes: but he was shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest) before it even happened! As if there is anything else more appropriate for a believing person to say when filming anything, anywhere in Syria, considering the condition of the things he is filming, and it is in every videos of such kind from start to finish. "Oh my God" is what one would say in English, a natural response upon seeing this kind of devastation. Finally, it's claimed that even a three year old could tell that this was not a bombardment by Assad's men but a detonated explosion by the FSA. What a three year old can see is that this Mosque is being bombed just like all others that have been bombed before, and that the minaret collapses just like other minarets collapsed. What do these people tell their children, how do they explain their bizarre conspiracy fantasies? What do they tell themselves? Do they really believe the FSA would try to frame the regime for something it has been doing all the time? Why would they sacrifice what they believe in and go against everything they stand for, only to achieve such a pointless objective? This is typical case of the guilty suspecting the innocent of horrible things only he himself could think of, would do, and has done many times before. The regime destroys everything because it values nothing. It ought to have been filed under the category Assad's Propaganda (it might make it to Dunya TV) if only it were not such a blatant manifestation of this regime's war on religion.
Jami` al-Rashid, Sa`d al-Ansari, Halab, Syria. 3 September 2012. Hit by one of the tens of thousands rounds unleashed upon the city for the past month and a half.
[1] They started referring to their forces by the official name "Syrian Arab Army"; every person interviewed on their TV channels, even kids, are now doing so. Normally, people would refer to it as the "army" or the "Syrian army" but apparently that isn't good enough any more. It looks very unnatural for a kid to speak of the "Syrian Arab Army" and it's very typical of them to push ideology down peoples throats by making them use these silly ideological terms.
[2] This list is incomplete and currently a month outdated.
