PITTSBURGH -- Pitt volleyball rebounded from a five-set loss in the day's opener to take a 3-1 win over Rutgers at the Pitt Panther Invitational on Friday night at Fitzgerald Field House. Jessica Wynn had a breakout performance to lead a group of three Panthers with double-digit kills and two with 20-plus digs totals.
Pitt (8-4) came back from a set down to ultimately take the four-set decision over Rutgers (3-10) 26-28, 25-17, 25-15, 25-11. The Panthers are now 2-1 in four-set matches this season.
Pitt found itself in a position to play catch-up in both the first and second sets, but each frame ended differently. After trailing 20-13 late in the first frame and looking almost certain that Rutgers was going to take the lead in the set count, the Panthers made a push to tie it up. Pitt went on a 10-3 run to knot the score at 23 apiece. The score was again tied at 24, 25 and 26 points apiece.
That 26-26 score came on a kill from Jessica Wynn. The junior went on to post her third double-double of the year on the first point of the third frame. However, it was a close call that went down as an attack error for Wynn that gave Rutgers the first set 28-26.
Wynn finished her night with a season-best 18 kills and a career-high 23 digs. She hit .333 (18-6-36) and also chipped in two service aces and two blocks before the night's final point.
"I was really pleased with my defensive game tonight and I have to hand that over to my coaches," Wynn said after the match. "They really gave us a thorough scouting report so we knew their tendencies and I knew what to look for on defense."
The second set looked as if it were going to go down the same path with an early but small lead for the Panthers being eliminated on a Scarlet Knights run. Pitt never let momentum slip away completely, however, and stuck close enough to keep it interesting.
Pitt pulled within one at 10-9 before Rutgers extended that lead with four straight points. It then became the Panthers' turn for a run and that proved to be the difference maker. After getting the score down to 17-15 in favor of the Rutgers, Pitt claimed the final 10 points of the set for the win.
That run included contributions from several Panthers. Jessica Boddy and Monica Wignot, playing in her first match since the season's opening weekend in August teamed up for a pair of blocks. Wignot threw in a couple of kills as well, as did Wynn.
Although it did not show up on the score sheet, Jenna Jacobson also played a key role in the run as she kept Rutgers on its toes with her serving. The junior helped maintain control from the backline by serving out the set's final nine points.
The momentum had officially swung in Pitt's favor. The Panthers' attack percentage started to climb, going from .143 in the first to .250 in the second and eventually .333 in the third, which did not require any comeback effort.
Pitt led from the start in the third. Whereas Rutgers had used some key runs early in the match to keep it close, and even hold a scoring advantage, the Scarlet Knights were unable to string together more than two consecutive points in the third. In what seemed like no time, the Panthers went up by double digits. A block from Kate Yeazel and Jenna Potts made it 16-7 and a handful of errors from Rutgers soon made it 19-8.
Three Panthers tallied at least four kills in the third set. Wynn chipped in five, hitting .500, and added nine digs in that frame.
The Panthers were then running on cruise control and made it smoothly through the fourth as well. A double-digit lead came to Pitt quickly, 15-5. It then improved to 16-5 on back-to-back aces off of Wynn's arm. Wignot and Yeazel also found their spots and moved their kills totals into double figures as the Scarlet Knights struggled to find answers. As a team, Pitt hit .429 in the fourth compared to .000 for Rutgers.
In the end, Yeazel added 11 kills and Wignot had 10 to follow Wynn's 23. Lindsey Zitzke tallied 27 assists.
While Pitt put up several impressive offensive numbers, its defense could hardly be ignored either. Clesen matched the contest's high with 23 digs. The Panthers also totaled 13.0 team blocks, including seven from Boddy, six from Potts and three each from Wignot and Yeazel.
In the day's earlier matches, Cornell defeated Pitt in five sets. Morehead State also defeated Rutgers 3-0 and Cornell 3-1.
Play at the Pitt Panther Invitational continues tomorrow at 10 a.m. with a meeting between Rutgers and Cornell. Pitt and Morehead State will play in the finale at 1 p.m.
"I feel like we were pretty sick of playing low-level volleyball," Wynn said of her team's earlier performance before beating Rutgers. "We're such a good team and we have a lot to contribute this season. I feel like the comeback set the tone for the rest of the weekend and coming out tomorrow against Morehead State."

but let me just say that I think its highly dishonest for someone to claim to be a Buddhist and at the same time reject rebirth.
This is the height of hypocrisy because if you believe this, you are by definition a materialist which is anathema to any Buddhist.
With awareness practice, however, one is not being asked to believe in anything or to operate from any theory - or even to regard ones own preferences for the afterlife - but to recognize the way it actually is at this moment.
..."So this helps me to recognize that I don't have to know what happens after physical death, because I cant know, and it doesn't really matter. I am not asking for some kind of affirmation to make me feel better"
Therefore if you cannot digest rebirth/kamma, etc. and still find value in say Vipassana, then you are highly influenced or benefited from Buddhism, but by no means do you have the right to call yourself a Buddhist.
I will get around to reading all 220+ pages of this thread,
lyndon taylor wrote:but to think your own belief is so important that it applies to everyone else, that no one can have a stronger practice because they believe in rebirth, is just going way, way to far......
lyndon taylor wrote:Well speaking for myself, my belief in rebirth is ESSENTIAL to my buddhist practice, maybe I'm the only one, but without a belief in rebirth I doubt I'd be a buddhist and or sober today. The idea that you don't need rebirth to practice some parts of Buddhism is true, but the idea that no one benefits from having a belief in rebirth can not be true, that doesn't mean that everyone benefits from a belief in rebirth, there may be some people who absolutely it would make no difference one way or the other, The point is The Buddha taught rebirth, why would you want to devote so much time and effort on a Buddhist forum to tell people that what the Buddha taught(rebirth) is not important, one way or the other, to believe. If it wasn't important, why did the Buddha bother to teach it??? What possible benefit can you have online convincing people that what the Buddha taught, rebirth, is not important to believe, Better just to make a simple statement, like "I don't understand the Buddha's teaching of rebirth" and leave it at that.

I could have missed something, but where have you actually shown a text-critical analysis of 'the way the Buddha uses language', pointing to parallels or 'linguistic echos', as Norman/Gombrich would show, in the Vedas or Upaniṣads, to support your 'thesis'?
Otherwise, you could post here again in this or that thread, today or months later, and the discussion still remains circular.
Sylvester wrote:nowheat wrote:I recall asking you if you saw a common thread -- this seems to suggest that you do. Would you please detail what it is you see as the common thread?
I actually don't see any such thread. Which was the reason why I am trying to coax you to cite the thread, because if the Vedic "view" is the problem that the Buddha was hoping to address vide DA, then what was that view? Given that there are so many views in the attested pre-Buddhist literature, what common denominator underlies those views (be it psychological or doctrinal or whatever), such that the brahmin, on hearing DA, would immediately understand that DA was directed against such-&-such aspect of their prior conditioning?
nowheat wrote:What do you deem to be the origination of suffering if one has no views of self?
I'm with the RSPCA interpretation of DA. Our poor furry friends undergo the origination of suffering like the infant in MN 64. Anusayas do not require a full-blown view of self to be the condition for suffering to arise.
ancientbuddhism wrote:Spiny Norman wrote:clw_uk wrote:As for Buddhadasa I dont think he "re-wrote" D.O. but simply explained it as it was, nothing he says goes against Dhamma and everything he says is aimed at non-clinging
I do think the "psychological" or "moment-to-moment" interpretation of DO is a major departure from what's described in the suttas because:
1. The nidanas are redefined, eg birth and death are redefined to be psychological rather than physical events as described in the suttas;
2. Conditionality ( paccaya ) is redefined to have the meaning of the nidanas shaping or influencing each other, rather than the nidanas arising in dependence on each other as described by the suttas. "When this is, that is.........when this arise, that arises";
3. Craving and clinging are redefined as exclusively short-term, rather than long-term, habitual tendencies.
I tend to use "psychological" instead of "moment-to-moment" because I think it captures this interpretation better, ie purely psychological as opposed to the traditional view of DO as a psycho-physical process. And of course we all work with aspects of DO moment-to-moment, the difference is about how many nidanas we consider.
"moment to moment" is the main thrust of DO. When we look at the early sketches in Suttanipāta of what later became DO, we find a pure ethic of liberation to be experienced in the present. This was the intention discussed well before a nidāna of doctrine had developed.

Yep.... true regardless of precisely what rebirth is, and whether it is so.

AmpAir 100 Wind Generator - Any input
I am thinking of buying a used AmpAir 100 to suppliment my Kyocera 130 Watt solar panel for auxillary power generation. I would mount this on my mizzen mast above my radar dome. Does anyone have this unit and have input to help me understand its capability and what I need for running - do I need an additional regulator to my Balmar ARS-5? What should I need to know when buying a used AmpAir 100. Please give me your input - I have never had a wind generator.
They have a reputation for being among the noisier generators and output is weak in normal 10-20k winds. I would compare to other brands before making an investment...KISS/AIREX/FOURWINDS are some other well regarded brands.
Yes...if you get the ampair...you need a separate regulator. Some other units come with built in regulator.
I bought a Hornet wind generator on EBAY for about half the price of a KISS, even after factoring in my cost of wiring, mounting pole, paint, and straps. It looks like a homebuilt (read ugly) but it is whisper quiet until it hits its resonant frequency (at about 33 knots). Even then its doesn't get loud just a vibration. Performance seems to be inline with other wind gens. (ie the pits at 0 to 9 knots, then quickly ramps up.) here's their website:
Some times they sell new units on ebay at a discount.
My setup - 4 Kyocera 40 watt panels and two flexible 32 watt panel for a total of 224 watt of solar. A Balmar 110 amp alternator on the diesel, a small gas powered portable genset and the Hornet 1000, six 6-volt house bank - 540 amp-hrs. Flexible, multisourced power.
With the Ampair you could add the towed water generator by the same manufacturer

The first weeks of spring offer a kind of seasonal renewal contract for my look. During these heady days, I'm overcome with the urge to purge, or at the very least rework what I've been working for the last six months.
The following is a handful of the best beauty and fashion products I've discovered recently and intend to incorporate into my warm-weather wardrobe.
• Prada this! Dismayed by the laughable cost of designer handbags this season, I'll sport a bag that's big on authentic style and low on cost: L.L. Bean's classic canvas Boat and Tote bag. The 10-inch-by-9-inch size comes with long shoulder straps in a variety of contrasting colors and costs a measly $17. Take it over the top by having it monogrammed for a few bucks more. Wear it with an overpriced little black dress, bare legs and high heels for a look that says, 'I will stay as long as you amuse me.'
• I've tried them all and have found the best Ñ mascara, that is. Almay One Coat mascara costs just over 5 bucks and doesn't migrate to other regions of your face. Best of all, it's available at Fred Meyer, meaning you can throw it in your cart along with other necessities, like champagne and Kit Kat bars.
• Have your stylist shelve the scissors: The best new haircuts are done with a straight razor. The effect is softer, sexier and actually looks better a month or so into the cut. Carrie Brewster at downtown's 220 Salon suggests tucking bobby pins randomly throughout a layered cut to change the shape and give it a punky edge.
• Orange alert, my eye Ñ and cheeks and lips. The citrus shade was the beauty hit of the 2003 spring runways. Best used in single slices, orange balances the season's '80s-inspired brights and whites. MAC's lip lacquer in Sonnet is a delicious place to start. It's $16 at Nordstrom.
• In keeping with the ladylike clothes that walked the runways for spring, the best nails are also classically pretty. Wear a true red on your toes Ñ very Hollywood starlet Ñ and a blush pink on your fingertips. Essie's Ballet Slippers has long been considered the perfect soft pink and runs about $7.50 at most mall beauty-supply stores.
• Now that we're about through with the Winter That Wasn't, it's time to reintroduce my favorite denim skirt into spring rotation. Made by Alice Dobson of Sofada boutique, the skirts feature her signature cutout hem and are crafted from perfectly thrashed 501s that she finds at thrift stores. Dobson sells the skirts ready to wear at 4623 N.E. Fremont St., or will remake your favorite pair of jeans into one for you. Prices vary.
• I was kicked out of ballet class as a child Ñ bad attendance, worse attitude Ñ but that didn't stop me from developing a fondness for dance apparel, particularly the little wrap sweaters that ballerinas wear to keep their spindly bodies warm. Simply sleek in black and prettier in pink, the sweater is especially chic with jeans and flat boots. Dance stores, such as the Leotard at Lloyd Center, sell them for about $37.
• Forget men Ñ a good tank is harder to find; they seem to be either too skimpy or too underwearish, like something filched from Grandpa. Look no farther: Banana Republic has the perfect tank for $18. It provides just the right amount of coverage and comes in basic and fashion colors, such as fuchsia, making it an easy way to indulge in the pink trend.
• The polo shirt is another big trend for spring, and the best are still by Lacoste, available at Mercantile downtown and Elizabeth Street on Northwest 23rd Avenue for $70. Yes, the shrunken look is big, but I also like the contrast of an oversized polo with a flippy little skirt and flat sandals Ñ very 'Daddy says I can sign for it.'
• On the silver spoon side, I am enamored of J. Crew's new patchwork chinos, which are equal parts preppy and 'What the hell is she wearing?' The cropped shape and irreverent attitude make them the perfect summer knock-around pants. Available online at www.jcrew.com for $48.
• Underneath it all is a T-shirt bra without unnecessary oomph or ouch. The lightweight demi-cup bra by Zo' at Odessa in the Pearl District is the perfect balance of reality and reined-in. Also $48 and worth every cent.

To assume plus-size people don't go to the gym is untrue, however, I once was a member of a gym where I was literally the ONLY plus-size gal who went there. Shocking right!? There wasn't a 'NO FAT CHICKS ALLOWED' policy or anything and the other gym members weren't all LORD OF THE FLIES crazy looking at me sideways. It's just that I lived in WEST HOLLYWOOD at the time which is home to all the model/actor wannabes and a high gay population. So it felt like everyone was of hard bodied muscled stature except curvy little me.
I usually walked to the gym in workout gear, went in, did my spin class, had a quick sauna in my size 20 black tankini and went home. It took me an entire month before I realised I'd NEVER seen another big girl there. Granted this is not usual to be the only plus-size girl in a place of exercise worship but this is how it was at the time. I guess I just didn't feel out of place being there!
All my life I have been on yo-yo diets losing and gaining weight but going to the gym as a curvy girl has never bothered me. I always refused to wear baggy pants and t-shirts as I get too hot and the pants seem to bunch up between my thighs and crotch. I much prefer stretchy black leggings and a tank top.
I was once hit on in the co-ed sauna by guy wearing a Speeedo who was a regular gym-goer and serious cyclist (bike shorts and all). I would have been a size 18-20 at the time but wasn't confident in myself like I am now and just couldn't believe a guy would be interested in me looking the way I did. But that was then and this is now.
In most cases people are completely focused on themselves anyways. So if one of your goals this year is to take a class, get a trainer or use the treadmill for 30 minutes in an effort to get healthy then please don't feel intimidated. Oh, and go sit in the sauna for a while if you're single. You might just get a date out of it!!
What have been your gym experiences GOOD or BAD?

That Donny Deutsch and Harold Ford, Jr. would jump to defend a Democrat who made a hideously impolitic remark, whereas they would have skewered a Republican saying the same thing, is altogether predictable. What's remarkable is that Mark Halperin called them out on it.
It happened on Morning Joe today in the context of Dem PA Rep. Paul Kanjorski's comment yesterday that a housing bill he was advocating helped "good, average Americans" and not "minorities" or "defective people." Time editor Halperin was first to comment, and actually launched a pre-emptive strike against the double-standard, observing "this is one of those instances where you'll hear a lot of Republicans say if this were a Republican congressman, the outcry would be a lot greater."
That didn't prevent Ford and Deutsch from whitewashing Kanjorski's comments. Ford dismissed them as "a complete slip of words." Despite admitting he doesn't know Kanjorski, Deutsch somehow divined that "there wasn't the malice behind those words."
When Willie Geist prodded Deutsch on Halperin's double-standard point, the ad man suggested Dems were entitled to more forgiveness when it comes to these type of gaffes because "the Democratic brand is a more tolerant brand." Once again, Halperin took up the banner of fairness, confronting Deutsch and asking whether "you really want to say that the Republican brand doesn't stand for racial tolerance?" When Deutsch tried to argue the point, Halperin pointed to Lincoln as an example of Republican inclusiveness and Southern Dems who opposed civil rights in the '60s as examples of the opposite.
Halperin sent a final warning shot: "If you two are going to be so tolerant of what he did . . . the next time a Republican says something unfortunate, I'm going to remind you two of what you said today."
Kudos to Halperin.
Dispatch From Department Of Unintentional Humor
In defending Kanjorski, Ford twice claimed that the Dem congressman was supporting the extension of welfare benefits to the unemployed. In fact, Kanjorski's unfortunate comments came in the context of advocating a housing bill. But leaving that aside, what was rib-tickling was Ford's claim that Republican opposition to expanded welfare benefits is "un-American."

I recently got a model I didn't create and wanted to mess with the overall bump and material of the object, the problem is that the object has multiple shaders applied to it. I figured if I managed to get all the texture information in one map I could just reapply it as one shader?

South Carolina at Florida 36-14
After Andre Debose took the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, the Gators had almost nothing else to celebrate. Ahmad Black said after the game that Gamecocks running back Marcus Lattimore "could pretty much do whatever he wanted," which he did - running the ball 40 times for a career-high 212 yards and three touchdowns.
Prior to this game, the Gamecocks were 0-12 in Gainesville since joining the SEC and just 1-19 against Florida. This marks the second time South Carolina has beaten Florida... since 1939. The loss sealed the SEC Championship game, which will pit Auburn against South Carolina on December 4th in Atlanta. It will be the Gamecocks' first-ever appearance in the SEC Championship game.
The Gators lost to a division opponent for the first time in 17 games, while also dropping their third consecutive home game - something that hadn't happened since 1986. The Gators are now 6-4 (4-4).
"We just didn't execute," Meyer said. "We're just not very good."
Stat of Interest: Gene Chizik (head coach of Auburn) graduated from the University of Florida in 1985, while Steve Spurrier (head coach of South Carolina) graduated from UF in 1966. Both also played for the Florida Gators football team.
Other SEC games from Saturday:
Mississippi 14
Tennessee 52
Vanderbilt 20
Kentucky 38
Georgia 31
Auburn 49
LA Monroe 0
Arkansas 58
Mississippi St. 10

1891 Fredonia Opera House
9 Church Street,
5 people favorited this theater
Modern comforts, combined with turn-of-the-century beauty and charm, characterize the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. With echoes of classical theatres in Europe and New York, and the graceful curve of the full horseshoe balcony, plus the wood-turnings in the boxes and facade – and the beautifully-detailed pressed metal ceiling – here is a gem-of-a-Victorian theatre. Add a fine acoustical setting and air-conditioning to a year-round program of live events and you have a classic theater.

With a name like Fredonia, I hope the theater showed DUCK SOUP on a regular basis (ha, ha!).
Listed under Fredonia NY in the 1897-98 edition of the Julius Cahn Official Theatrical Guide is a "Grand Opera House" – I assume that it's this theatre ?? Unfortunately, there are no street addresses in this Guide. The seating capacity is listed as 785. A.H. Hilton was the Manager. The proscenium opening was 30 feet wide X 35 feet high; the stage was 32 feet deep. (These dimensions are very similar to those in the Opera House's website.) It says that the theatre was on the ground floor, which apparently it isn't. There were 9 players in the house orchestra. Local hotels were the Columbia and the Raymond House. The 1897 population of Fredonia was 4,000.
This theatre doesn't have the Marr & Colton organ today nor does it have any organ after its renovation.
I recently attended a fun comedy play entitled "The Queen of Bingo" at this theatre. The audience even got the opportunity to play a game of Bingo and the winner won a 10# frozen turkey! BTW, the winner was not "Yours Truly"!
It seems this Opera House was the only one that Enoch A. Curtis built.
This is indeed the "Grand Opera House" that was mentioned in the 1897-98 edition of the Julius Cahn Official Theatrical Guide. The theatre underwent an extensive volunteer-driven renovation between 1985 and 1994. This year, we celebrate its 15th season of continuous programming since the reopening.
Many people remember and comment on the bats that populated the theatre in the 1970s when it operated as the Winter Garden movie theatre. While the theatre still presents movies in addition to live events, the bats, fortunately, are gone now.
Thank you, Patsy, for your kind comments about "The Queen of Bingo." It was a fun show to present. Watch for more shows like it in the upcoming season. You can see all of our upcoming events at www.fredopera.org
Dalton Burgett owned the Regent Theater in Dunkirk, a sporting goods store just a block or so from the Regent and a post office/general store in the Van Buren beach community around 1950.
He then acquired lease to the Capitol Theater in Dunkirk and a few years later the lease for the Winter Garden Theater in Fredonia. His Regent Theater had the best screen. It covered most of the front of the auditorium. For CinemaScope the top and bottom masking was lovered and raised to form than scope shape. The Regent also had a great stereo sound system. The Capitol was the wrong shape for CinemaScope. It had a small balcony and box seating lined the side walls. That left a rather narrow stage.
The Winter Garden got its scope screen rather late. I helped put the screen in place while an employee of the theater. The first scope picture was an Alan Ladd western for Warner's and it recieved no fanfare. A backlog of scope pictures played off quickly and did not do the business it could have with some imaginative showmanship.
The Shermans managed the Winter Garden from the thrities to the late
fifties. She ran the place while he was in WWII service. They lived next door to me. Fredonia being a college town helped make the theater profitable for many years. When the studios were sending their stars out on road trips in the early fifties to get people away from their TV sets some of those stars stopped in Fredonia, would you believe? I remember meeting Pat O'Brian and Sally Forrest. Roy Rogers and Trigger made an appearance, also. Getting Trigger up all those outside steps into the building was a chore. Then Rogers rode him down the center aisle, over the orchestra pit on a platform my father built for the occasion, and onto the stage. The Durango Kid was also in town one day and signed lots of autographs. His son was a student at the college. I mentioned earlier in this piece "showmanship". Mr Sherman taught me the rudiments of newspaper ad layout and promotions. I was in junior high at the time. GOOD MORNING, MISS DOVE, a Jennifer Jones film about a dedicated school teacher based on a best-selling novel had played in Dunkirk at the Regent to poor grosses. Fredonia always got the pictures at least thirty days after Dunkirk playdates. The Winter Garden got the film for a Wednesday-Thursday playdate, or four evening performances. I plastered large ads from the pressbook all over the college campus. Oh, the college at that time was a training school for teachers. I also did the newspaper ads heralding "The Book-of-the Month Club School Teacher". We had four nearly sold out performances. Years later I would operate movie houses at Army bases around the country and then return to Silver Creek NY to operate the closed Geitner Theater for two years. The first year was moderaltely successful. The second year was a disaster. That was the year that the TV networks began their MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES, TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES…etc.
Most of the working people in Silver Creek worked out of town. By the time they got home evenings they were not going to go back out to see a movie when there was one on their TV sets. The distributors were also playing hardball with all theaters back then. You want to play the big hits you had to play the dogs also. And in the 1960s there were a lot of dogs. Thus I closed. My memories of the Winter Garden are probably what keeps me interested in old movie houses. I remember going into the theater after school when a cleaning lady would take a break. She and I would sit on the stairs to the balcony and she would tell me stories of the stars who once performed or made appearances at the Winter Garden. Much of the memorabilia from the theater's history is housed beneath the stage near the new dressing rooms. The old boxoffice window can be seen in the rear wall of the auditorium. My only regret with the marvelous restoration was that they chose to replace the side wall lights. Before and after the show the lights were white. During the short subjects they were amber. During the feature they were blue and red. Lots of memories. James Manuel
James: Hope to hear from you as I know Dalton, Jr. and his wife though I've never discussed his father's theatre history and would like to do so.
I have printed out your lengthy information and will present it to Dalton, Jr. at his office!
I see that the "Wintergarden", which what I knew this place as, opened on October 25, 1926. It lasted into the 1980s. (I saw two movies here: Close Encounters Special Edition, and Battlestar Galactica; in the 1979/1980 timeframe.)
I think the sporting goods store mentioned above was "Walt's".

Btw 'Morrow' has a lot of online supllements which are great for any postapocalypse game. http://www.thesupplybunker.net/morrow.htm
Now we tried 4e for a second time and thanks to you guys it was much better. The solution was to divide between mechanics and fluff. As the players recognized the rules as pure mechanics and the use of it in combat only, things went smoothly. The greatest problem was to think differently. Interestingly some of the older players, who started in earlier eighties, got sentimental; it reminded them of old RPG's.
Aubrey the Malformed wrote:
...but that might be something you and your guys either accommodate as seems reasonable, or don't (and maybe play something else)...
I have enough RPG's to play to the end of time, I can always choose something different. I see in 4th ed. a real try to make something better, something different. I like the design ideas, but I can't connect some of the ideas to the final rules. More then once somebody could 'translate' it, so I can understand, how it works. But I think I get it slowly how it is actually working. So please bear with my questions.
Aubrey the Malformed wrote:
I guess it is up to the DM to determine when they get their encounter powers, but what you describe is more-or-less accurate. Arguably, it isn't terribly different from the daily sleep to get yout spells back - when exactly in the night do they "pop back" into the head?
Most of the spells requires some action besides sleeping, like praying, memorizing etc. But the game mechanic is not a problem, it is more about to sell it to the player. If a group catch their breath after a fight and reorganize themselves then this is believable, but if somebody uses a encounter power and rest 5 minutes, use the encounter power and rest, ad infinitum, then it stretches the internal logic. So I like to know how you handle this.

Even if I dm'ed dozens of rpg's we started to use a battlemap just a little while ago. (With the start of the Pathfinder campaign)
The problem is that I think that there are really a lot of good ideas, but I can't get a grip on them. My group enjoys a mixture of riddles, combats and social rp. Some of them want to use a battlemap, some of them don't. When we tried KoS it seemed that the characters could only fight and do little else. Everything seemed very secondary. The use of the everpresent battlemap seemed to say the same thing. But I feel that this first impression is wrong, but couldn't tell how it works any other way. So I hope that you enlighten me. (no sarcasm)
WotC's Nightmare wrote:
That seems reasonable. The original post kind of confused me. I thought that he was asking if he was doing something wrong because the game felt like a boardgame with character sheets, when he really just wanted to know when to break out the battlemat.
Well, yes and no. I appreciate your posts. I helps a lot to hear some ideas which doesn't make things to predictable. The battlemap finds a lot of use already im my gaming, but using it always seems to limit my options somehow. The whole world is now in grids ;) When you design an adventure, are you transfering everything to a grid?
WotC's Nightmare wrote:
Well it does seem to be largley based on the D&D minis game, so what did you expect? If you are disappointed on the lack of non-combat stuff and the overly gamist feel of combat, you're not alone. You and your group are going to have to work extra hard to get that non-combat stuff in the game. The current modules have a dearth of role-playing opportunities, and the rules do seem to focus heavily on combat. You might like 3.5 or Pathfinder better.
I'm a experienced gamemaster and I found out that sometimes a game is 'misunderstood'. Some games have certain knacks that only by playing them could be found. Maybe this edition is just gamist and minis, but it seems to me like I have something overlooked.
piers wrote:
I know what you mean, but that is my problem. How much surprise is there to an ambush if you put an battlegrid on the table? And it seems to me that to start an ambush without grid is nearly impossible.Like I said maybe I don't understand some of the basics not correctly.
I like to know if somebody, who has actual played the fourth edition, can help me, with some answers. Last weekend I picked up a copy of 'World & Monsters' and like before I found myself agreeing with the thoughts of the designers. It irritated me so much that I checked immediately my copy of the Players Handbook to see where I went wrong. But I couldn't get my hand on it. Our group tried to Keep of Shadowfell and it was nothing else but a boardgame with charactersheets. It seemed to me that every encounter has to be played on a battlegrid. This divided the game into parts of tactical boardgame and roleplay if there was no grid (like the village). Do I miss an important point?

Like I said that was just a guess. Joseph Campbell puts the time where the mythology changed from female to male mythology after the time of the early planters.I grew up in a what many people call a christian sect and I saw quite my share of strange things, including married couples who had problems with the concept of sex. Like a poster before said, self-deception is a mighty force.

There are some interesting theories from Felix von Cube, a behavior biologist, who says that you have to challenge, not pampering the youth. In his theories he states that violence of the youth is a result of idleness, that they need adventure.From my point of view I watch a lot of parents who don't take responsibilities for their lives and even less for their children. And this children get their hands on mature material without any real problem. Sometimes their parents even buying it for them. Without guidance this material can be a problem for the mental health of the children, but this is not the mission of a country to solve. Censorship has never worked to solve this kind of problem. I agree with you that education - and I think of the education of parents first -is a part of the solution.

I agree with you that self deception is one of the biggest force in humankind. But why shouldn't one not admit the need for sex? It is as natural as craving for food. My wife, my friends and me have no problem of admitting that we need sex and adore beautiful naked men or women. And if we play a game of fantasy then this is a part of it.Just take a look at human history and you will find that the earliest found scriptures are contracts and pornographic stories. Everywhere you find stories, pictures, statues that tell us that sex is a wonderful (even spiritual) thing. Only the modern judeo-christian-moslemic religons have a problem with that.
Lord Fyre wrote:
The Legal systems of those countries?
Most of the censorship is self censoring, not any laws. Publisher fear that some groups will be offended or 'the kids must be protected' and they press their artists to censor their work. Frank Miller's Sin City comes to my mind immediatley. You will find enough of this 'free' censorship everywhere. So basically a few people decide what is good for you and your children. Again I say, if we realize this artificial reasoning and give a voice that everyone has the right to decide what is good for him-or herself (I'm talking about cheese/beefcake pictures) then the problem will be just a matter of taste.

Personally, I don't have a TV. I don't need one. But I agree with you that the media has a lot of influence in our lives. But that is not the point I tried to make. If a movie get censored in the USA, you find that they don't censor the violence, but every sexscene. In Germany they censor every violencescene and not the sexscene. If you like to look a movie less censored, then you watch the netherland or the japanese version. The country with the largest porn production of the world falls unconscious if they see a nipple on TV. If it is not a problem in the head of the people, what it is then?
This discussion amuses me again. I live in Germany and tried once to bring this kind of question to the female gamers around me. 'What do you think, is cheesecake in RPG a problem for the female gamer?' They laughed long and heartily. So I went to a convention and asked there a few female gamers/authors/producers and they looked at me like I came from another planet. Like they say, the problem is just in your head.
To be true I have much more problems if the female gamer wear clothing that her character could wear, but she cannot. A lot are heavily overweighted and not all large breasts are beautiful.

One of my female players liked her fighter very much, who wear a thong+5 with cold resistance. It was one of the few characters who drove her character alignment from chaotic good to lawful evil and had much fun to do this. The campagne was around a succubbus who was on the way to become a major freedom goddess and the characters were her priests, apostles and so on. I only say - watch out for the girls. Everyone had fun, but especially the highpriestes Eisenadermade good use of 'free love' concept.

I was in high hopes, because some of the developer said, that there would be something like a social combat system in the 4.0. I missed this dearly in the 3.5 and other games (like Exalted) showed how it worked. In 3.5 you could choose if like to play with a battlegrid or not, that decison was taken away, you need it now. In our campaign we use characters like the crusader, the truenamer and cross-class, so we are used to have a lot of possibilities in combat, so it seemed that the changes were not really so different, at least not enough to inspire the gamers.
It s a great miniature game with fantasy elements, but not a RPG anymore. After the first ten minutes of slashing Kobolds I heard the first 'Do not take my candle',after twenty minutes people talked only in metagaming speak. We agreed on the following:

I don't play D&D anymore. I buy Paizo's products and convert them. My Savage Tide is BESM.
For those who don't know. When D&D arrived in Japan, they had their own ideas about designs. So they made elves with extremly long ears, as you can see in anime classics (Record of the Lodoss War-Deedo 1990). Later on, you found them in independent comics like Poison Elves. Long time after that WoW adapted to their game (and notice that the WoW Elves nearly 2,20m tall and second largest players race in the game). So you can say, after the Japanese borrowed it for their D&D, Paizo borrowed it back. :-)

Die Kampagne "Savage Tide" ist aus dem Magazin Dungeon und umfasst die Entwicklung von der 1.Stufe bis über die 20.Stufe der Charaktere.

I don't have to hint at anything. Their 'we are above any criticism, we are god' attitude have made them to outsiders in the whole RPG scene. They have forgotten that if you like to sell something you need customers. And the customer are already reacting to that, as you can see the response to the WoD products.
Here are some pictures from the Spiel:
My conclusion for this year of the Spiel is that the German RPG scene is in the offensive. Lots of independent games and designs. I could say a lot about 'Feder & Schwert', but there is not much positive. Again D&D is a problemchild and has a bad reputation as only dungeoncrawling that it not deserve. I really miss a magazine like Dungeon. At the moment there is no german Rpg Magazine, that has such a high standard in design.
It's a kind of fashion statement. In history full plate was often not made for combat, but for showing off. Remember that certain kind of weapons that could easily destroy a plate were restricted or socially banned, like the crossbow, warhammer and warpicks. Basically it rounds down to, the guys with the heavy armor shall live and the mob should die and damned if they use weapons that can hurt them.
My experience with gamers in LARP, which dressed up in full plate and were chased through a wood, showed me how valuable is movement over heavy armor. It was funny when some of them rested and couldn't stand up own there own. :-) There was a Lady Colonel and the only thing you recognized that she was a woman was the long braid of hair, all other features vanished under the armor. So in a fantasy game like D&D it is back to fantasy. How many cool pictures of women in armor, that does make sense, are out there? I mean, what sense makes a belly free breastplate (I've seen a lot in the last time)? Or those kind of steel latex armor, that fits skintight on our heroine?
One of my groups decided to be fashion slaves and had designer dungeon suits, with sponsored crystalball watchergroups and a special group pose. For this group was armor so passé. Ok, it was the only group that invested over 2000GP for clothing (per person) in one shopping session. Still, the AC was enormous, there are several prestigeclasses where the attributeboni add to AC. So anything they did was pushing the attributes.
My actual group uses the Vitality point system and armor protects only wound points. This works fine. Those with heavy armor live longer and better protected against critical strikes.
I have an place for my honored 'old' dice from the 1.edition of a game. So if there is the need for something special I use the D20 from the red D&D box, which is orange and where the numbers had to been put on with a crayon. All the edges are round. Somehow dice are like wine, the older they get the better they are.
I liked the Damage/Wound points system from Alternity. There were 4 kinds of damage stun/wound/kill/fatigue and every category had some points derived from constitution. On one side there was the overflow, so after enough stun damage you got wound damage and so on. On the other side, different weapons started from different positions making already wound or kill damage.
Just an amusing fact about 'Wagnerism'. King Ludwig's most knewn castle Neuschwanstein (http://www.neuschwanstein.de/) was built after his wish to built a perfect setting for Wagners (fantasy) opera. He even let built a cave with lakes to be in his 'fantasy' world (http://www.linderhof.de/).

I've been interested in how people from different cultures take something and add their own unique flavor to it, if you will.
I can speak only for myself. Of course the standard fiction is a 'standard' and interwined with the rpg's. The one of the differences I noticed, is the sense of history. I live in a heavy urbanized area, called Ruhr area, yet I have just a stroll of 10 minutes to the original wall of the city, which is about a 1000 years old. Everywhere around us is a legacy of the history and if I like to know how something medieval worked, it just takes a short trip and I find some of the original things.One other thing I noticed, is the difference of distances, places in Germany are not far away. The next country is never more then 350 miles away. This means most of times a different language, a different culture, another point of view.
Another thing is that (please, don't be offended) that americans seems to have a high threshold on violence and a low on sex. So you see here more naked flesh and less violence. Another thing is about patriotism, if you would show the same patriotism that is normal in USA in Germany, you would immediatly be branded as Nazi.
About classic mythology, I like to visit the places from where some stories come from and soak the 'feel' of this places.
We (our rpg group) discussed the difference of flavor sometimes and agreed, that some of things mentioned above make things for players and the characters different.

My experience is that especially young players enjoy role-playing. But I got more girls then boys at the table, so maybe it is a gender thing.
After rereading the thread I found out what really bugs my players (and me as DM) in Dungeoncrawls. I have more then a yard of 3.5 Rulebooks with dozens of characterclasses and there are thousands of prestigeclasses, but if I go on a dungeoncrawl there is just the fighter, the trap detecter, the healer and the use-magic-to-kill-things-quickly characters. It is like showing all the possibilities and then tell to go back to the standard. Frustrating is right word.

Alicia Keys is one of the most beautiful singers and faces in the country. She will be showing off both at the next Super Bowl, along with Beyonce Knowles, who is expected to give the half time performance. Keys, who is a Grammy Award winner, will be performing the national anthem on the big day on February 3 in front of millions of people, and it's expected to be spectacular.
This is the third time that Keys has been asked to sing at the Super Bowl, which is a record. She sang "America the Beautiful" in 2005, and participated in the pregame show in 2008. Over time, Keys is starting to become a familiar face on the big stage.

Insane weather in Alaska creating avalanches of "biblical" proportions!
Alaska started out great but this month everything has gone to hell in a hand basket! The so called Polar Vortex has disrupted "normal" weather patterns. The massive high pressure plaguing the western half of the lower 48 has also directed the Jet Stream to flow due north. This has brought record warmth and rain to Alaska. It has been hitting the upper 40`s in Anchorage. Here in Fairbanks, our normal sub zero weather has turned into crippling freezing rain.
Alyeska has shut down indefinitely until the snow stabilizes and avalanches of biblical proportions have buried the Richardson Highway in Keystone Canyon between Thompson Pass and Valdez. Currently, all back country is a death trap due to massive amounts of rain and huge "glacier sized" avalanches are running to ground. This video was just released on the local news of the Keystone Canyon slide that formed an ice dam on the Lowe River, creating a huge and growing lake that is now over 60 feet deep covering the highway. When that dam goes, look out downstream!
Worst winter I have ever seen in my 22 years of living up here!

God damn...
How do you even go about removing that? Does the highway department bother? Seems super dangerous to try but of the blockage broke seems that could be super dangerous too.
Alaska DOT is bombing the area by helicopter trying to stabilize the area so they can begin to clear the highway. Draining the lake safely seems problematic to me. Here is an Alaska Dispatch article about a fuel tanker driver who narrowly escaped getting take out by this monster!
Richardson Highway closed by avalanches, no definite reopen date yet | Alaska Dispatch
I've never seen that chit b4... Glad the driver was safe.
One day I hope to do the Powder Highway mountains surrounding Calgary, and I heard chit like this can happen on many of the stretches within the highway/passes.
Thanks for posting OP!
Is there mass hysteria? Cats living with dogs?
That is some next level avy danger right there.
holy fucking shit

Looks like that road just got closed for the season. I don't see a way of clearing that without the help of mother nature.
were there avalanches in the bible? i missed that part
Wow! :blink:
Makes sense though. I'm making my first trip up to Alaska in about two months. Hopefully shit'll get straightened out by then.

Style: 34808287 Color Code:
Made from our semi-sheer, lightweight Beach jersey, this mini dress has a swingy silhouette and upper back cutout. American made.
FP Beach
One of nine exclusive, in-house labels. Effortless seaside styles.
It's like wearing fashionable pajamas
This dress is amazing, it's super fashionable and lightweight so I feel like I am wearing the most comfortable dress in the world. I love it, it's my favorite thing in my closet because if I'm having a fat day you can't tell and it still makes me look thin. I would just get a size smaller than you usually would because it runs large.
So I bought this dress a few months ago, wore it twice, washed it once. IT SHRUNK. So much so that if I even dared to wear it out, I can't lift my arms up or I'd expose myself. Ridiculous. I'd thought the quality would hold up in the wash, but I'm so disappointed.
Hi rosecvelasco, We're sorry to hear about this. Someone will reach out. - Free People
Great Staple
This is a great staple in the closet! I bought this in the lilac color and think it is great for spring! I know that they call this a dress (and maybe it is because I am 5'8'' and have longer legs) but I have only worn this with skinny jeans or leggings. I think it is a little short for a dress. I am usually a medium and it was true to size. I hope they restock some of the other colors soon so I can purchase! A great dress/tunic and I recommend it!
Love this dress
I bought this to add another dress option to a growing FP collection and love it so much I'm getting multiple colors. It's a perfect dress for lounging or a night on the town. It's such a fun piece and fits perfectly. I paired it with a FP slip I bought awhile ago and FP boots. Love it! I'm definitely in the 'older' FP crowd, but feel young and stylish in this great dress.
Bought This As a Shirt
And love it! I didn't even realize this was a "dress" when trying it on in the store - just thought was another dramatic long-length t-shirt. I paired it with light-washed jeans ripped at the jeans and it looks so on trend and versatile, I had to get it. I am 5'4" around 130 lbs with an athletic/slim build. I got my normal size S and it fit perfectly. I think this is perfect both fall and spring as well as winter if layered properly. :)
not for me
The neck band on the front of this dress, came up higher on me than is pictured. It was more mock turtleneck. Also, this is one of the many, many over sized styles currently in abundance. I'm fine with that, but I was expecting more of a trapeze style, than just really, really wide. The armpit area of the dress came to about halfway between my actual armpits and elbows. I normally wear a size 8, and got a medium. I'm a curvy petite. It's going back.
This is my "Go To" dress whether I'm wanting to put something comfy on after work or hitting Happy Hour with friends. It's sexy, comfy, and cute all wrapped up into one! The way it was presented was spot on as well. It is everything you see in the pics of the model. I'm 5'2" and considered petite so xs is what I went with:)
I love this dress, lightweight t-shirt material, perfect for every day and the open back makes it dressy enough for going out. I do have to say it runs large though. I am usually a medium, and it fits very loose, which certainly may be the style but if you want it a little snugger (and shorter) size down.
