The Hex Hack is an 'adventure landscape', which I believe is the new buzzword for 'sandbox', with nearly 350 entries, adaptable to any d20 rpg.
It has tables to start the campaign from humble beginnings, a table to finish off in a legendary location, and all sorts of random goodness in between. Many illustrations and several basic drawn hexes with lots of stuff for PCs to do/find/steal/kill/interact etc.
The Hex Hack: A d20 Sandbox Campaign
Here something a little different. Powered by the very rules-light Black Hack
The Jack Hack, a game of Victorian Villainy for OSR
The Jack Hack is a game of trying to beat the odds in the depravity of late Victorian London. It has particular focus on the Whitechapel area just before, and around the time of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders.
I have released Parts 1 and 2, and the Campaign Primer for my Adventure Path for Chaotic Evil PCs called Kingslayer. It is a hexploration /sandbox with kingdom building/burning!
It is currently (nearly) art free and $2 for the adventures and free for the primer.

Metaplot activities
PCs can spend time working toward their metaplot. These are based on discussion, and what things their background rolls threw up! Each one is sort of abstract in that, I havent written 80 bits of plot, item, places etc they need to find. The players just decide if soemting fits their metaplot and writes a line of two about it.
-Wood elf (noble)Monk is trying to find the 'quantum of ki'. A moment of perfection. Law and Chaos, Good and Evil, Light and Dark;…..all together in a never ending circle. Legend says there is a state of being, a point of absolute perfection, where all are both in balance, but still, with no motion or deviation. The 'Quantum of Ki', when inner and outer are as one. Past, Present, Future. He who can control this perfect moment of Ki, can control his own destiny, and even halt death. With this you can contact your ancestors and bring peace to your tortured family, and ensure death no longer walks waiting in the shadows with your elven blood. To fulfil this task you must find, witness, and discover etc some moments of absolute perfection/extremism or such related to each alignment.
-High Elf (sage) ranger. Is trying to finally get to the bottom of what makes underdark creatures more powerful and weird, than their surface 'cousins'. The Underdark is a weird and terrifying place. The dwellers there seem very powerful compared to surface folk, and this something that plagued your human associate Doctor Mellors until his death at the ripe of old age of 79. He has bequeathed you his research and put into safe keeping some mighty tomes which you can claim if you complete his life's work. What is the 'strange' that gives the underdwellers such power? You must collect 12 bits of information, observation, evidence, magic, treasures, relics, anatomies etc deemed worthy of his name. Luckily a new group seems headed that way. Your previous doctorates on the 'Ways of Giants' seem most interesting to one of the group.
-Half elf (charlatan) Bard/Warlock. You intend to be the great impresario and put the ultimate show, the Fall of Aelinthaldaar; the ancient elven city where Waterdeep now sits. Uncovering its history will add to the appeal of investors. Improving your own glory, renown and prestige will have people flocking in
-Gnome (Folk Hero) Rogue. He has had a dream that he is to be a Lord of Waterdeep. You are a great folk hero and destined for many things. Your dreams are plagued by visions of a dark room, a circular table and mysterious folk of great power discussing the city. It is clear you are meant to join them and become a Lord of Waterdeep. To do you must find 13 pieces of lore and artefact tied to the flavour/theme of the dream. So such things as scrying, eyes, cyclops, orbs, mirrors, mind flayers, crystal balls, beholders, etc. You hope with all this power you find your lost love
-Human (noble) sorcerer. Seeking the secrests of Dracomanchy. "You need to find the great link between Dragonkind and the Innate arts of Sorcery. How does dragon blood flow through the veins of some; is their inheritance or random luck; can one be taught sorcery; can you gain the long life of a dragon; who was the first sorcerer? What role did dragons play in the fall of Aelinthaldaar the great elf city that once stood where Waterdeep now is built. To complete you need to find 11 dragon related clues, mysteries, items, etc that will pull all the lore together. You must uphold the name of your house and not alienate others in the process."
Human (Soldier) Fighter. "You need to solve the mystery of your disgrace & dishonour; the defeat against the fire giant Zucchuss the bloodied; the loss of the great banner of your house ' The Iron Pennant'; you must ultimately slay your nemesis, and be redeemed in the eyes of military and nobility who hold you in low esteem. To do this you must do 8 deeds that will lead to your redemption"
Quests These are small 1 scene things based on the quests in Lords of Waterdeep. Completing these raises a PCs renown in one of 4 areas (piety, commerce, warfare, arcane).

Thank you for any contribution you can make, even if it just a suggestion, idea, etc.
I can never seem to be able to put links in on this forum, any kind soul help? Also it keeps putting a space after 'dyin' which I cant seem to edit out?
So on a positive note what six parts would you put together to make the bestest AP ever heck your links between random mods will likely be better than the real ones......darn....supposed to be positive
Well, you can even use half mods if one bit was excellent (JR 4 part A) but the rest suxxored (JR 4 part B)
Will put mine later....really cant think of a part 3 I admired
I am working on a sandbox adventure path for demonic inspired chaotic evil characters. Elves are the main protagonists at first.
Kingslayer. Hexplore your evil side or something similar
I realize this is jumping on a number of bandwagons/in vogue themes.
It is a 7 part AP with one of the 'clever' things being that the last three mods can be played in any order.
I need a couple of volunteers to give what I have thus far a read.I dont need editing just an opinion on whether what I am attempting is 'good/terrible/meh!!'
--I have a campaign document that will become the campaign primer
Trying to keep each under 64 pages.
As the whole AP makes heavy use of Ultimate Campaign I will like a volunteer to be somewhat proficient (?) with that.
Despite playing since 1980 only just started to write to try and get published. The only thing I have had released thus far is part 1 of a 4 part dungeon AP.
thank you for your attention
So I start to run part 1 next week. I have not run an AP since the group completed Kingmaker about a year or so ago. And by complete I mean the baddies won and
their kingdom is a forgotten snow globe on some First Worlder's mantelpiece!!
We have played JR 1-3 and SeSk 1-3 recently so looking forward to
To this end the party will be working for the PFS, not part of it. As Magnimar is a neutral city everyone has agreed to have at least 1 neutral aspect in their alignments.
They all have darkvision as they suspect there may be a dungeon or two!! Maybe that's one reason they have been picked.
Wonder how long before I post on the Obituary thread!!
Wish me luck
How would you stat up this item
Sand of Elemental Transformation
Aura xx transmutation; CL 7th
This white sand looks unremarkable. It can be thrown as a ranged touched attack, with a range increment of 10ft. The sand is harmless unless the attack successfully hits an elemental of up to medium sized. The elemental is immediately transformed to an elemental of the same size, but of a different type of the wielders choosing. The change lasts for 7 rounds before the elemental reverts back to its original form. The elemental is not harmed in anyway by this change of form and this process does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If the elemental is an ally of the wielder of the sand the elemental does not get a save, otherwise it can attempt DC 16 fortitude save to negate the effect.
So lets assume I have 6 months of work to write a dragon AP, where the big bad of each mod is a dragon or dragony type thing for each mod
do we assume CR 6 at end of mod 1, then from then on (CR 8,11,13,16,18) at the end of each mod
for the first mod a simple very young green dragon.....from then on Im open to suggestions?
its a vaguely sylvany type setting
thoughts ?
How are parties managing to ensure everyone gets something to do. What i mean is:
The last thing I rsn was kingmaker with its dungeon-lite environment.
I am planning to run this, BUT im finding even as a player in Brinewall castle in JR, I have noted some players getting a bit meech, with the tightness of the 5ft corridor, stuck in the doorway, etc
it maybe we havent dungeonered for a bit and are rusty!!
so im going oracles/sorc / MT.....i know, i know
at 3rd 0r2/So1...level if:
what damage would a burning hands do?
she is great fun to play, running around on her wolf as a nature oracle, so not looking for advice how to be better...just what that spell does?
thanks a lot
trying to be topical....
Golarion runs on magic
And magic runs on:
......Diamond, silver, quartz, onyx, mercury, phosphorous and 4 dozen more precious and semi-precious materials
What if, throughout the world, these started to dry up....wizard and clerics of all colours and outlooks would start to loose their ability.
-the ill would stay 'unrestored'
-the dead, would stay dead,
-the dead, would not be undead
-towers would lay undefended by the 'arts'....
And hundreds of other spells would become in short supply
The repercussions would be enormous
The Price of Power AP, an adventure path that spans the whole of Golarion.
Intrique, trade, diplomacy, treachery, wealth and terrible secrets await......
Part 1: the party are gathered at Absalom, centre of the Inner sea. Called there by a mix of the great and good. Traders, clergy of light and dark, arcane dabblers, all looking somewhat uneasy. The party first task is to see why a large number of dwarven mines have just closed their gates and are no longer shipping their commodities. Research has shown that the closures started at one particular dwarven owned mine just over two months ago. It is one of the few mines that supplies a certain as yet undisclosed to the party resource, and on the quiet, so as not to upset any interested group or faction, a low level delegation is to be sent to investigate, made of of interested representatives.....
This AP suits any and all alignments and the bigger the mix the better. One thing all factions, and worshippers agree on its that Wealth is good.....or bad...dependent on how you use it! The group are forced together and best set aside any immediate differences
Traits. Am working on traits that are inter-dependent on the party rather than the NPC ones seen in many AP's
can you use two of these in a round (ie use your standard as a swift?). I see the rules that says you cant, i just wondered what the thinking behind it is, as a standard action = more energy/effort than a swift?
if a high level bard starts a performance as a swift action, moves, changed performance as a standard action...does that take up 2 'charges'?
see elsewhere I am writing up an AP for a LG party
Trying to create about 15 campaign traits
This is the 'crunch' list I have ths far. Anything over powered? I appreciate some may be duplicates from other sources, but a lot of campaign traits are. will add the fluff later
-You gain a +1 trait bonus to AC whenever you are defending the weak. The weak are any good aligned entity with a CR of 1/3 or less that you are trying to protect within 30ft.
-You gain a +2 trait bonus to saves against negative energy channelling
-Your [cure) spells give back 1 more hit point
-When you channel positive energy to heal the living, if you rolled a 1 on a d6 are counted as a two
-When you successfully treat disease or poison the save is made at a +6 bonus (instead of the normal +4)
-+1 trait damage bonus with a longsword against demons
-Whenever a demon rolls to confirm a critical hit against you it does so at a -2 penalty
-You gain a +1 trait bonus to save against spell-like abilities used by a demon
-Any celestial template creature you have summoned with a spell has +2 trait bonus to spell resistance
-Any celestial template creature you have summoned with a spell does +2 trait bonus damage with it smite evil ability
-Any resolute template creature you have summoned with a spell does +2 trait bonus damage with it smite chaos ability
-Any resolute template creature you have summoned with a spell has +2 trait bonus to spell resistance
-+1 save against poison and disease from any demon
maybe you could get away with LN or NG, but essentially to get the most out of it you'd have to be LG
this is what im working on for my home group. i have parts 1-4 mind mapped out and the first couple more heavily detailed
This is what i have planned (and i wouldnt be so brazen as to suggest the fate of Aroden or close the world wound!!)
Can a person spend 6 months playing an AP while being righteous and true without being a zealot? Can you kill, or talk to, things and return stuff to the rightful owner?
and if there isnt where would be a good setting in Golarion for me to write one about this half term holiday seeing for the first time ever i have no marking to do!!!!!
I know the mantra that any AP can be played by any class..BUT..is there one where the party really really should be LG.
so the party really doing stuff because it is utterly the right thing to do, they find a holy avenger and seek out someone worthy to take it too, there asked to deliver 10,000gp and will do all they can to get it there...ok thats all very sickly and shiney but i hope you what i mean
the next question is
would anybody play it?
ta for listening
Our group has gotten a bit big and a GM is asking for players to drop out so he doesnt have to GM too many. Its possible i may volunteer not to play this when he starts it in a few weeks
My question. Is this mod say 70% haunted dungeon / 30% other stuff.I really hated the over use of haunts in Burnt Offering, they where cool at first, then as a group we thought they where over done
no spoiler please
The Council of Magnamare, in our KM campaign has a number of LE councillors
I was wondering if an assassination attempt is rolled, against one of the them, i should throw in some zealot Erastilite Paladins and Rangers as the 'assassins', as it where?
might make interesting half fight / half social scene?
we do seem to roll assassination alot!
ive just finished part 4 / starting part 5
given both these things so hints to Numeria, has anyone made use of it.
I tempted for example to
Have the first atack on the pcs kingdom come from that direction, to throw them off
As it borders the pcs kingdom, what do you think the pcs can see from the edge of their kingdom?
im pretty sure it doesnt look very tempting for conquest??
Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere
It is nearly a year in our KM campaign since Varnhold Vanished. The party have been to tomb but retreated.
So, as the party have no way of knowing this is gonna happen, what if the Occulum recharges and the parties city are next?
aside from the economy disappearing down the tubes as 8000 citizens under 6 march off?? im wondering if this is too harsh to do the game?
anyone done it?
i tried,(even got some rends in, some run away and regens and stuff)
i really did, but the party waded throught the trolls despite not having a tank and the whole thing being one running combat....haste, grease, glitterdust...gotta hate them all
Hargulka (sp?) enters the fray
gets hit by flaming sphere, failes his save, his necklace then fails its save..boom, boom, boom..he then failed a number of saves against the fireballs on it
before he acted he'd taken 104 hp of damage incl 72 from the ruddy amulet
party earned 31,600xp in tonights session (they got 26,000xp last weeks)
my only joy was the owlbear trashing some vital blocks of their city!! I do fear for its safety next week
Ok, this was a fun fight, lots damage but no party deaths
Some questions:
1 Plants have low-light vision, but cant be blinded -im sure i saw that mentioned in threads elsewhere-that mean they shoulnt be affected by the smokey 'pyrotechnics' spell version, it got hit by when cast at the flaming sphere it was in, or can things still be concealed against it?
2. As it was Huge, and therefore bigger than the grease spell cast at it, was it immune (as it also cant be tripped)
3. Had it failed against the pyrotechnics, would the -4 str penalty been cumulative with the -3 it had from its (saved) against ray of enfeeblement [if it had failed against both spells would it have been at -11 strength!!!]?
Spell caster heavy party with bear companion, acting as a damage soaker!!

Tips for Instructors
The most helpful thing instructors can do to improve the effectiveness of their students' time with our tutors is by sending in class directions. Tutors find it extremely helpful to have directives from instructors. Instructors are generally more satisfied with the outcome of tutoring sessions when they have communicated their wishes to tutors. If you have special instructions for the tutors, please call or e-mail us (see contact information below). Your guidelines will be placed in an instructions binder where tutors will have access to them. Also, please let your students know what it is that you expect of them before they see a tutor. Please refer to the following suggestions.
Content Tutoring. For courses which appear on our Math, Arts, Business, and Science (MABS) tutor schedule, our tutors will assist the students in using resources (e.g., textbooks or program editing software), understanding concepts, and utilizing strategies while working toward independence. Please note, students in courses that do not appear on our MABS tutor schedule may still benefit from our services. For example, a math tutor can assist students with understanding or utilizing statistics. Computer science tutors can help students with formatting experimental data. For assistance in comprehension of specific items in texts or preparing an oral presentation, students may work with an English tutor. If you want to prohibit content tutoring on take-home exams, please contact the Tutoring Center when you issue the test and clearly mark the assignment as an exam.
English Tutoring (for courses other than WRI or ENG). You may consider providing us with a set of general guidelines for the semester for written work, such as whether the students may receive grammar tutoring or which style of documentation is preferred (e.g., MLA or APA). You may also issue to the student specific criteria for each assignment, which the student and tutor can refer to during the session. If we do not have directions to the contrary, our tutors will only assist with surface grammar errors, minor issues in organization, and documentation.
Modern Languages. We currently offer language tutors who are advanced or native speakers of Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. Tutors will focus on oral fluency and pronunciation. You may consider providing us with general guidelines for the semester or issuing to students tutoring assignment sheets, which the student and tutor can refer to during the session.
Please remember that schedules do change from time to time. The latest, updated schedules can always be accessed online at www.hpu.edu/tutoring. Please tell your students about these useful tutoring services and remind them to pick up guides and schedules.
If you have further questions, please contact our Academic Specialist, Meg Hassey.

>Wilf gives Childress vote of confidence
Owner Zygi Wilf is 100 percent behind head coach Brad Childress and the direction the team is taking, according to this AP report. "I have more faith in our coaching staff and our players and our team than I ever have," Wilf says. "I hope as the years go on we will be that much more confident in the direction we're going. We'll just have to see how the season turns out. I'm very confident we're on the right track with what we're doing."
>Wilf pledges proceeds from scrimmage to relief efforts
The Vikings owner also earmarked the proceeds from the Vikings-Chiefs scrimmage on Friday night to the relief effort dedicated to the I-35W bridge collapse.
>Vikings-Chiefs scrimmage recap
Adrian Peterson (hip), Chester Taylor (forearm), Troy Williamson (infection), Ben Leber (calf), Aundrae Allison (hamstring), Ronyell Whitaker (ankle) and Wendell Mathis (muscle tightness) did not participate. Pat Williams, Kevin Williams and Antoine Winfield were also held out. Dan Mozes was carted off with a knee injury, Chandler Williams suffered a concussion and Khreem Smith dinged his knee but was able to continue. Here are some other observations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
>No dropoff expected with Henderson in middle
E.J. Henderson has adjusted to moving back inside to middle linebacker smoothly. "He's capable mentally and physically of doing everything that I've asked him to do," linebackers coach Fred Pagac says in this StarTribune report. "Napoleon [Harris] played great for us, but I see us having the same success with E.J."
>Wade the wily veteran among receiving corps
At 26-years-old, Bobby Wade is already the seasoned veteran of the Viking receiving corps with 58 career NFL games. "To me, being a leader means being able to work hard, to be hands on, to show up on time every day, to lead by example," Wade said in this Mankato Free Press story. "A rookie can do that or a veteran can do that. I just try to bring to the table anything I can to help this team win."
>Pat Williams video with comments by Frazier
This Pioneer Press video clip shows some snippets of DT Pat Williams from training camp along with comments from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
>Tarkenton named in Fantasy Football Hall of Fame
This NFL.com article picks a fantasy football hall of fame. In it former Vikings great Fran Tarkenton is selected for the HOF. I don't think fantasy football was quite that popular in Fran's day, but it speaks to the impact he had during his career.
>Nowhere to go but up for Viking QBs
This Sporting News ranking of each team's quarterback situation, predictably has the Vikings at No. 16 in the NFC.
>Ex-Viking Berger tries out with Patriots
Former Vikings punter Mitch Berger was in for a tryout with the New England Patriots on Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama calls U.S. relations with India a defining partnership of the 21st century, but the United States still has a hard time doing business with the world's second most-populous nation.
Ties have improved markedly in recent years, and on Monday India approved a multibillion-dollar defense deal that was announced by Obama on a November visit to the Asian nation.
Still, U.S. firms have struck out in the bidding for an $11 billion jet fighter contract that the president had lobbied for.
India also has been slow to ease barriers to trade and investment that Washington seeks.
In April, India barred imports of technology for a multibillion-dollar Indian government-backed program to boost production of solar energy.

Darren Barker says he is one fight away from realising his dream after it was announced the Barnet-born boxer will take on Australian IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale in August., writes Dev Trehan.
The 31-year-old stopped Italian Simone Rotolo in his last outing at Wembley Arena in March to claim the IBF Inter-Continental middleweight title.
It was his second consecutive victory since returning from an injury that had kept him out of the ring for a year.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has rewarded Barker with a summertime championship bout against Geale at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
"This is a golden opportunity for me and I feel it's my time to shine," Barker told Sky Sports. "It's been a tough journey for me but I'm one fight away from realising my dream and becoming world champion.
"I've dedicated my entire life to this sport and since the Sergio Martinez fight I really feel like I've grown as a fighter. I can't wait to bring that IBF world title back to the UK."
Barker has only been beaten once in his 26-fight professional career. That came against Martinez in 2011 but Hearn is confident Barker will this time claim world title gold.
"Not everyone knows the story about Darren Barker but those that do understand it when I say that few deserve this more," Hearn told Sky Sports.
"This is the fight that Darren wanted so badly and now he's got it. This is a wonderful fight between two incredibly gifted middleweights, it's a pure 50-50 fight and I know Darren is going to bring it home

Santiago (AFP) April 02, 2014
A powerful 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit near Chile's Pacific coast on Tuesday, sparking tsunami warnings for Chile, Peru and Ecuador, officials said.
The quake struck at 8:46 pm local time (2346 GMT) at a depth of 10 kilometers (six miles), 83 kilometers from Iquique on Chile's northern coast, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said. The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a warning.
Chilean authorities -- who registered the quake at 7.9 -- and their Ecuadoran and Peruvian counterparts also issued a tsunami alert after the quake.
"Everyone along our coast should be alert and ready," Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa said on Twitter.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center also issued a "watch" for Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Chile is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, and a large earthquake has long been expected in the north of the country.
In its evaluation, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a statement: "It is not known that a tsunami was generated.
"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours."
In February 2010, central and southern Chile were hit by a powerful earthquake of 8.8-magnitude followed by a tsunami that devastated dozens of towns.
The quake left more than 500 dead and $30 billion in damage to infrastructure.
The same coastal area has been the scene of numerous quakes in recent days.
On Sunday, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck, followed by at least two moderate aftershocks, USGS said.

sourdough no-knead disaster
Hi folks,
I know that the topic has been discussed before, but I still don't get it. No-Knead (sourdough in this case, but I've tried the authentic recipe) just does not work for me!
I have pics and I would really appreaciate if you could give me feedback on my sourdough no-knead disaster. It has been quite frustrating since it is not the first time I fail, it is the 5th or 6th indeed (I lost count). It never worked! I keep seeing online beautiful pictures of fully risen loafes baked without effort, but in my case, unless I spend 10-15 minutes kneading the hell out of my dough, it just does not work!
So, here's my intuition:
1) The gluten did not develop. Maybe because this time the dough was not wet enough and I know that all flours have different absorbing power, but how the heck do you know if you have to throw all the ingredients at once?!
2) The second rise seem to be the real problem, since the first time it maybe even overfermented. Maybe my kitchen was to warm?!
Again, these are just random thoughts because every time a new problem arise. Ao any suggestion is appreciated! :-) I have more details in my blog post http://sickofood.blogspot.com/2010/10/no-knead-sourdough-bread-disaster.html

Cycles used in chronology are three: The solar cycle, the lunar cycle, and the cycle of indiction.
Indeed, if popularity was an indiction, this had become suddenly true.
Therefore, for this indiction, we decorate you with the ensigns of the Consulship.
The date of the letters is the Third indiction, September 1, 509.
Was he designated when the great Imperial officers were appointed at the beginning of the indiction?
Announces to this young man his nomination to the Praefecture of the City (for the 4th indiction).
Before its adoption the usual practice in Latin countries was to distinguish the years by their number in the cycle of indiction.
By extending it backwards, it will be found that the first of the era was the fourth of the cycle of indiction.
The indiction itself, and every one of the years composing it, began on the 1st of September of the calendar year.
We entrust to you therefore for this indiction the dignity of the Comitiva Romana, with all its rights and just emoluments.
late 14c., "period of fifteen years," a chronological unit of the Romans, originally for taxation purposes, fixed by Constantine and reckoned from Sept. 1, 312; it was still in use in the Middle Ages. From Latin indictionem (nominative indictio) "declaration, appointment," noun of action from past participle stem of indicere (see indictive).

Vehicles Axed in 2013
Nissan Altima Coupe
Let's face it; coupes just aren't as practical as their sedan counterparts. From an engineering standpoint the two different models can share a ton of parts and corporate know-how, making them relatively easy to engineer and build. But the market has spoken: people prefer four doors. Heeding the call, Nissan dropped its Altima Coupe in 2013. When this car was introduced in mid-2007 as a 2008, model the car was offered with a base four-cylinder engine and an optional V6. But by the time it was discontinued only the four-banger was offered. An Altima coupe? Nobody cares.

(Photo) Lineup of 13 Phenom jets in front of Vail Valley Jet Center.
Jeppesen and the Russian Ministry of Transportation have inked an agreement that gives the company access to Russian domestic airport data. Jeppesen had previously been granted access to Russian domestic airway system information and will now be able to provide operators with domestic and international NavData services, JetPlan flight planning, OpsData aircraft performance analysis and paper and digital charts. NavData databases will contain all Russian airways as well as international and domestic airport and runway data. Domestic Russian approach, arrival and departure procedures will be added to the NavData database over the next few months. Publication of Jeppesen terminal charts for Russia in both paper and digital form started this summer. Enroute charts with domestic airway information will be available by the end of the year. Russian domestic airway system and airport information may only be used by operators registered in the Russian Federation, although there is a procedure in place for foreign operators who wish to operate in the airspace.
SimCom has earned FAA Level D certification for its Eclipse 500 full-motion simulators at the company's Orlando FL facility. SimCom has also gained FAA approval for its Eclipse 500 pilot training program, which includes initial, recurrent, differences and mentor training. The training provider is the sole source of factory-authorized, simulator-based training for the entry-level jet.
Vector Aerospace has launched a new engine service center in Calgary AB, Canada to provide field service and powerplant repairs on the PT6A and PW100. Vector will offer PT6A hot-section inspections, power-section inspections, fuel-nozzle testing and borescope procedures, as well as parts for the PT6A and JT15D throughout western Canada. Vector operates a network of MROs throughout North America, the UK and Africa.

Atlantic Aero has boosted its maintenance capabilities at GSO (Greensboro NC) to service Falcon 900 and Falcon 2000 operators. The expansion includes the addition of a 24,000 sq ft hangar for overnight use, with a further 6500 sq ft of space for backshops and offices. Falcon Program Mgr Scott Shiells is the primary contact for Falcon operators, and Falcon Regional Sales Mgr John Bullen is the point person for scheduling maintenance. Atlantic Aero offers major inspections, repairs and modifications, line service and AOG service, engine support, avionics upgrades and interior refurbishment and repair.
Jet Aviation VKO (Vnukovo, Moscow, Russia) now offers base and line maintenance under EASA Part 145 for Challenger 300 and Gulfstream G200 operators. The company offers 24/7 line maintenance and AOG support at VKO, plus maintenance for bizjet operators at DME (Domodedovo, Moscow, Russia), SVO (Sheremetyevo, Moscow, Russia) and other Russian airports. Jet Aviation is authorized to provide line maintenance on Challengers, Global Express, Learjets, Embraer business jets, Gulfstreams and Hawkers. It was the first MRO to enter the Russian market when it opened at VKO in 2007.
ExecuJet Middle East has opened a second maintenance hangar at its DXB (Dubai, UAE) base. The company negotiated an initial 3-year lease for the 52,000 sq ft facility, which will complement an existing maintenance hangar and FBO. ExecuJet Middle East Managing Dir Mike Berry says that the recent pickup in the bizav charter market in the Middle East justified investment in the new hangar. The ExecuJet facility supports Bombardier products, the Gulfstream G150 and G200 and the Embraer Legacy, in addition to stocking Bombardier spare parts. It is also a Rockwell Collins dealership and an authorized service center for Honeywell powerplants and APUs.
Safety initiatives
Alexandria VA-based Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) has embarked on an aggressive expansion program. Since joining the foundation in July, Exec Dir Bryan Burns has led the effort to expand ACSF membership and promote its safety audit program—the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS)—for Part 91K and 135 operators. Burns was the general mgr at Signature DCA from 1996–2000 before becoming president of Vail Valley Jet Center at EGE (Eagle CO) and vp of Jackson Hole Aviation at JAC (Jackson WY). Immediately before taking over at ACSF he was Washington DC metro area general mgr for Signature, overseeing both DCA and IAD.
ACSF has its origins in the desire of NATA charter members concerned about maintaining high levels of safety and customer service. Burns says that the foundation is currently engaged in defining best practices in advance of FAA's safety management system (SMS) initiative, and is taking the lead in capturing and disseminating relevant information. Burns describes ACSF's efforts for fractional and charter operators as paralleling those for commercial airlines and freight carriers.
The ACSF Industry Audit Standard covers questions of safety, credibility and transparency—as well as, critically, management involvement. The audit also stresses the need for full implementation in addition to compliance. The most recent additions to the foundation's IAS registry are Gama Charters at BDR (Bridgeport CT), Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter at FXE (Exec, Fort Lauderdale FL) and Mayo Aviation at APA (Centennial, Denver CO). ACSF will be hosting the Air Charter Safety Symposium on Mar 15 and 16, 2011 at the NTSB Training Center in Ashburn VA.
Stéphane Mayer has rejoined Daher– Socata as CEO. Mayer served as chairman and CEO of EADS Socata from 2003–07. Most recently he was CEO of ATR.
Gulfstream has promoted Greg Collett to vp of initial phase ops and named Austin Shontz as vp of final phase ops to oversee production at the company's 6 US locations.
Michael McConnell has joined Raisbeck Engineering as president. He previously served as president & general mgr of Eclipse Aviation's customer division.
Dorothy Castle is the new general mgr and controller for ProJet at JYO (Leesburg VA). She comes to ProJet from Landmark Aviation FDK (Frederick MD). ProJet opened its JYO facility in January this year and also operates FBOs at HEF (Manassas VA) and OKV (Winchester VA).

Council Pulls Streetcar funding, But Rejects Immediate Streetcar Vote
San Antonio City Council today voted to formally withdraw the city's $32 million from that now halted downtown streetcar plan, and agreed to work with streetcar opponents to place language on the city's charter amendment ballot in May that would require a public vote on any future rail plans.
The ordinance stripping the money from the streetcar project also requires a vote on any future rail projects.
Mayor Ivy Taylor said that would keep the faith with citizens who have expressed opposition to the streetcar, and demanded the right to vote on major city initiatives.
"I feel that we should stay the course, while still addressing the people's desire to vote on the streetcar issue," Taylor said.
But Council rejected a proposal from northeast side councilman Mike Gallagher to call a vote on the streetcar charter amendment in November, even though the number of petition signatures demanding a November vote was inadequate.
"As far as I'm concerned, I believe we have had the proper guidance on it," Gallagher said. "Over 20,000 signatures are viable, and we cannot ignore that fact."
The City Attorney's office ruled Wednesday that the signatures are invalid because many of them did not include a piece of paper called a 'circulator's affidavit,' which would certify the legality of the signatures
Taylor said one of the major goals of her brief administration will be to establish a charter review commission, and propose several charter amendments to citizens. She says they may include a measure to pay City Council members a professional salary, to charge the way the mayor is elected at times of a vacancy, and to require a public vote whenever a major project like the streetcars is proposed.
VIA Metro Transit has voted to put the streetcar plan 'on hold' in light of the city's action.

UUCP (Unix to Unix Copy) is used to support Usenet news service (which competes with the newer INN service) and can be used optionally with the sendmail mail transfer agent program. Its main purpose is to allow for remote programs to be run or files to be exchanged between two unix computer systems. Therefore it is documented here separate from mail and news services.
UUCP is used request a file transfer to or from a remote machine. The transfer does not necessarily occur right away.
uux is used to request execution of a command on a remote machine
mail is closely integrated with uucp since it understands and uses uucp.
When a user invokes uucp or uux or sends mail to a user on a remote system, two things happen:
Taylor UUCP comes with a few other programs that are useful when installing and configuring UUCP.
When uucico is invoked, it scans the spool directory for work files and attempts to contact other systems and execute the instructions in the work files.
However, the work files contain only a small part of the information uucico needs to know in order to make a transfer. They tell uucico what to do, but not when or how to do it. This information is contained in a set of configuration files in the directory /etc/uucp, which is your job as system administrator to set up.
There are three types of connections between uucp computers

text: After lurking on here for years I decided to join and ask for advice. With my summer wedding quickly approaching I need confirmation/feedback as to the shoes that I should wear. To start with I had my shirt and suit made by maxwells clothiers. I picked a light gray suit because it is a summer wedding and it's a look I've liked and have wanted to try out for a while. I will be wearing a white shirt and tie is to be determined (has to have some purple in it to go with the color theme of the wedding - feel free to make suggestions). For shoes I want something rich in color, I am pretty set on a rich brown. I feel it may be a bit daring, especially with a light suit and this is why I am here asking you for feedback. I love classic Allen Edmonds, these two in particular are my favourite: I like these even more, but at $475 a pair, it's a bit steep for me. The suit. I wore some existing brown shoes, hard to tell from the iphone pics. This is to reference the suit colour/fit (any input is welcome). I saw this a long time ago and it stuck in my head, kind of the look I am going for:

I'm working on getting a small studio set up for some podcasting of the editorials. That means I put a mike on my desk along with a pop filter. I tried to do some basic recording, but the problem so far is that the levels are too low. I tried the free "Audicity" download and it works pretty well, allowing me to combine multiple tracks into an MP3, but the volume on the mike still isn't quite loud enough.
I went and bought a pre-amp today, getting talked into a USB model from M-Audio, but it doesn't seem to work, or at least I can't get it to. I should have stuck with the basic mixer idea that I had and gone with that.
Actually we might do some video as well and once I get a good pipeline of editorials ready, I'll start releasing them.

The visiting Garfield G-Men defeated the Waterloo Vikings 13-12 as a result of a dramatic fourth-quarter surge in a Portage Trail Conference County Division Cinderella story Friday night.
The game hung in the balance and its outcome rested on the shoulders of Garfield kicker Zach Hoffmann as he lined up to kick the extra point that won the game.
Hoffmann had earlier missed an extra-point kick and a 20-yard field-goal attempt, but this time he sent the ball sailing through the uprights with ease in the final quarter, giving the G-Men a 13-12 advantage over the Vikings and their first lead of the night.
(Hoffmann) missed the first extra point and then came back on a pressure one to take the lead and bury it, Garfield head coach Steve Wyllie said. Overall, Im very happy. Its been a long time since weve had a victory. Its been getting pretty miserable over in Garrettsville. We needed this going into this big rivalry game (vs. Windham) the last week of the season.
Waterloo rushed out to an early lead, capitalizing on a fumbled lateral pass by Garfield with 8:26 left in the first quarter. The Vikings J.J. Diven recovered the ball around the G-Mens 3-yard line and managed to run it in, scoring the first touchdown of the night.
Diven scored another touchdown from 7 yards out with 9:37 left in the second quarter to push the Vikings lead to 12-0.
The G-Men answered with their first touchdown of the night before time expired in the first half when Chase Chapman completed a 29-yard TD pass to Seth Duvall, but it was only the beginning for their offense.
Its taken us nine games to get our offense going. We finally started making some plays in the fourth quarter, Wyllie said. Fred Maxey came up big with some catches from the tight end spot. We were able to get him the ball and hes 258 pounds. Hes a load to bring down once hes in the secondary. He did a nice job.
Our line pass-blocked really well. They gave our quarterback enough time to find the open receivers, which was huge.
Garfield put together the drive that would secure the victory midway through the fourth quarter. It was highlighted by a 26-yard completion to Duvall and 19- and 12-yard completions to Maxey, which put the G-Men in position to cross the goal line.
Chapman capped the march with a 2-yard tote and, after Hoffmanns extra-point kick put the G-Men ahead 13-12, they were able to hold onto their lead.
This win means the world, said Wyllie. It didnt matter if we won it by one point or if we won it by 50 points.
We lost a little bit of our swagger this year, and hopefully, we regained that because we are going to go into our game with Windham no-holds-barred. Thats the last time were going to be playing those guys (as members of the PTC). Weve been focused on our season this year and not the last game, but now we get to talk about it and were going to come ready to play.

Norwin ready to compete with young team
Tommy Quealy was engrossed in Art Tragesser's offense during the veteran coach's first year at Norwin last season.
"I love our offense, how it's all spread out," Quealy said. "I learned it quickly last year.
"It's really complex, but easy to learn, if that makes any sense• It's easy for kids to learn, but I think as a defensive coach scouting us, it's got to be a son of a gun to prepare for. At any time we can come out in any formation and run any play out of those formations. It's really tough to cover."
Now, Quealy is loving his place in that offense.
After playing receiver last season, Quealy is looking to lead the Knights' offense this fall as its only returning starter.
The only difference is the 5-foot-9, 165-pound senior will be Norwin's quarterback after serving as backup to Tim Petro the past two years.
"I think I started playing football in third or fourth grade and I was always quarterback," Quealy said. "That's all I knew. I'm not the big hard-hitting middle linebacker, but I love playing quarterback and I love being that guy in the huddle. I love being the captain and it's been my favorite position."
And Tragesser is pleased to have Quealy under center where he is most comfortable.
"He's a leader," Tragesser said. "I think the kids respect him and he's a kid that can make some plays for you with his feet. He'll do fine."
Last season, Tragesser placed much of the emphasis on his offense around Petro. A pocket passer, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior became one of the WPIAL's most consistent quarterbacks by completing 89 of 159 passes for 1,316 yards and 14 touchdowns, with just six interceptions to lead Norwin to a 5-5 record and a berth in the Class AAAA playoffs.
Norwin is expecting that same production from Quealy.
"Tommy's obviously physically not like Tim was last year, but he's the type of kid that he's smart and he's a winner," Tragesser said. "He's the type of kid that can make plays for you."
Those plays might be different from the the ones Petro made last season.
"The one thing that helps me mostly is that I run a lot," Quealy said. "I'm not 6-3 with a cannon like Timmy was. I can't rely on my arm. I think I'm going to need to run to open up the passing attack.
"I have the ability to check to any play at any time I want to. If I see something that I want, I can call a run for myself or somebody else."
Quealy will have plenty of new faces surrounding him in the Knights' offense.
Senior Tyson Blazer will start at running back. The 5-11, 210-pound bruising tailback replaces K'Hari Singleton, who rushed for 933 yards and nine touchdowns as a senior last season.
H-back Kenny Berryman could also play a big role in Norwin's offense along with receivers Luke Kljucaric, Erik Rayman, Jeff Springer and Kyle Baum.
"We have some kids that can catch the ball and can run," Tragesser said. "We'll just have to see where their talents are and try to utilize their talents."
The largest source of concern for Norwin has been the uncertainty on its offensive line. Eight players have been competing for a starting spots.
Junior 6-foot, 260-pound center Dylan Keffer leads that group of linemen, along with senior Quade Davis and injured senior Alex Batis.
"We've been juggling those guys around with some sophomores, too," Tragesser said.
But even the uncertainty of a young team dealing with the graduation of 26 seniors hasn't been the largest obstacle with which the Knights have had to deal during the preseason.
An outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease curtailed the number of players who were able to participate training camp.
"It was weird," Quealy said. "It's almost funny now that it's over, but there were days we'd go out there with 16, 17 kids not there. We're a Quad-A program with 16 kids out. Now not all of them were sick, there were a couple injuries, but a lot of them were sick."
The Knights are looking to use those issues as motivation moving forward.
"I think it will help us in the long run because we learned to deal with it," Quealy said. "We had to struggle every day with younger kids coming in and learning positions. Some kids started out as a lineman and now they're playing linebacker and vice versa. It was tough. Our seniors stepped up to help our younger kids a lot."
Playing against the likes of Gateway, McKeesport Area and rival Penn-Trafford in the highly competitive Foothills Conference, Norwin will need all the motivation it can get.
"It's been our goal from day one to not just make the playoffs, but do well in the playoffs," Quealy said. "Above and beyond that, our goal is to come out and play our best every night."
