The School of Magery, found in the mountains south of Omnini, is one of the most potent (and now dead) schools of magery in the world.
The school is divided into two parts. One part, the Upper School, is entered by a particular cave south of Omnini. This half of th school is administrative: it is where the school is run, where the chancellor rules the school and where the visitors can stay.
At the bottom of the Upper School, there is an underground cavern which leads out to the Lower School. The cavern leads into another entrance in stone, which is the entrance to the Student Quarters. Under the Quarters, by staircase or teleportation, are the libraries. Below that are the lecture halls.
Below the lecture halls lie the experimental chambers. This is where most of the experiments by the scholars are conducted. The chambers are divided into four quarters (NE, SE, SW, NW). These quarters are for different experiments. The northeastern corner is dedicated to shapers and summoners, the southeastern corner to illusionists, the southwestern corner to alchemy and the northwestern corner focusing on the properties of magical items.
The various monsters living in the School of Magery include:
Upper SchoolEdit
The upper school is mainly infested by goblins and kobolds, together with the regular dungeon vermin, slime and rats. There is a dragon who was previously been a guinea-pig for the scholars, and she is unhappy about it, and wanting to be freed...
The lowest part of the Upper School and the underground caverns are dominated by dangerous undead, including the ghost of Halfdan, the most potent wizard in the school at the time.
Lower SchoolEdit
The lower school contains many gremlins and orcs who have taken the student rooms. There is a spine beast, the school "mascot", in a particular room here. The Mascot, Spininy, likes to attack any invader of its terrortory. In the experiment chambers, the evoked beasts have drunk the potions of various effects, and have augmented to become great big beasts, some with four arms, some dark fur, some with five heads. The potions can mutate anything, and if used as a weapon...
The various items/potions/spells and their effectsEdit
I am not going to explain the basic potions. There are some items, spells and potions found in the experiment chambers, however, which you may be interested in:
Amulet of NatureEdit
This blue crystal hung onto a string will allow the wearer to turn into a wild animal (as per the wild shape ability of druids). The effect is usable once per day and lasts for twelve hours (but may be dismissed). It is possible to spend 12 hours per day in animal form but not in one go - you may polymorph, then polymorph back, then polymorph again, unless you use more than 12 hours. The wearer also gains a +2 bonus to Knowledge (geography) and Knowledge (nature) checks, where the geography or nature in question pertains to the wearer's animal form. Wearing the amulet of somebody else will cause you 1d12 points of damage, but you may use the amulet. On claiming the amulet, you must declare an animal type to turn into.
Balm of Life (aka Elixer of Life)Edit
This lime-green fizzy potion has the taste of orange juice, to those who drink it. When a living being drinks the potion, the creature is cured of 4d8+10hp worth of damage (as per Cure Critical Wounds, CL 10). When applied to a dead body (provided that the soul is willing to return) the body is risen, as with Resurrection. Undead which drink this lose 4d8+10 hp.
Halfdan's Broken HeartEdit
This glass heart-shaped orb has been broken into five miniature pieces, spread out around the School of Magery. It was created in the experiment chambers by Halfdan (supposedly) when one day a hyperactive giant wyrm attacked. Halfdan was able to shoo the wyrm away, but the orb had already been broken by then. The pieces, being so small, require a DC 25 Search check for each of the five pieces. When all five pieces have been gathered, the user makes a DC 35 Craft (Gemcutting) check. If he succeeds, the Broken Heart is completed, and the crafter gains 1000 XP, and the Heart orb may be used to summon a mutated beast, which lasts for half an hour and is summonable once per day:
Beast: CR 5; Large Magical Beast; HD 4d10; hp 22; Init -1; Spd 20 ft; AC 13 (-1 dex, -1 size, +5 natural); Base Atk +4; Grp +10; Atk +5 melee (1d6+2, claw); Space/Reach 10 ft/10 ft; SA -, SQ guarding; AL LN; SV Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +2; Str 15, Dex 9, Con 10, Int 4, Wis 12, Cha 6. Skill: Jump +9 Feats: Blind Fight, Power Attack Guarding (Ex): When summoned to the aid of its owner, this loyal creature may deduct a number from his Base Attack Bonus and add it as a dodge bonus to its owner.
Crystal of clarityEdit
The crystal of clarity, when fixed onto a mudane quarterstaff and tributed at least 100 gp in herbs, and has had a one-month ritual, will function as a Staff of Divination (see Dungeon Master's Guide, page 244 for details). Th crystal can function without the quarterstaff, but the charges are all reduced by one (so the spells with 1 charge originally cannot be used).
The Spellbook of HalfdanEdit
Halfdan, the most potent scholar, was a shaper. Within his spellbook (which is but a normal spellbook) you will find the spells Summon Monster, Summon Nature's ally, and also the improvised spell Summon Aid. The Summon Aid spell summons 1d6 shades which last for 1 turn per caster level. Is Sor/Wiz 5 spell, and has a range of 20 ft.
A shade is the same as a shadow except that it is neutral in alignment, cannot be turned, does not create spawn and does not damage strength.
Orb of PolymorphEdit
This red, smoky orb, when thrown at an enemy, will explode (use splash weapon rules). Direct damage is instant mutation into a monster of half its current CR (so a monster with CR 10, such as a noble salamander, will be transformed into a CR 5 creature, such as a Troll.) Splash damage is 3d6 points of damage from mutation. The mutation is as per a polymorph effect.
Pandora's boxEdit
This wooden, mudane-looking, innocent-looking box is filled with the evil in the world. When opened, there is a 30% chance that the user dies, 20% chance that she turns evil, 30% of a bestow curse and an inflict light wounds, a 10% chance of -3 to a random ability score, or a 10% chance of summoning 1d4 dread wraiths.
Scythe of the ReaperEdit
The Reaper was a long forgotten God, renowned for his killing of millions of innocent people. He was depicted as a scythe-wielding skeleton who was cloaked in a black cloak, and was killed in a magical duel by the Sun God Pelor. His scythe was banished to a limbo for a thousand years and a day, until it was "rescued" by scholars studying the various chaotic spaces. This +1 vorpal shock unholy wounding scythe is worth a lot of cash if sold in the mundane world. By the way, would you sell unlimited power?

Twin Congressional measures seeking to reinvigorate the 1961 Wire Act and thereby make illegal most forms of Internet gambling, including poker, have been introduced in Congress. The bills, submitted by US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and US Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), originated with the deep backing of billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which operates the Venetian and Palazzo in Las Vegas. The preliminary forms of both bills were written by a federal lobbyist funded by Adelson, who hopes to curtail Internet-based competition to his existing land-based casinos. Both new Congressional measures, denoted as S. 2159 and H.R. 4301, respectively, have been sent to Congressional committees.

Smartphones being stolen at local bars
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
After a rash of weekend smartphone thefts, the Gainesville Police Department is warning local residents to be alert.
GPD identified a trend over the weekend of increased smartphone thefts at Midtown bars and nightclubs, and it will respond with extra patrols in the area, said GPD spokesman Ben Tobias.
About eight phones were pick-pocketed at bars and clubs mostly in the 1700 block of University Avenue, especially at Gator City Sports Grille, Tobias said.
A typical weekend involves no more than two reported phone thefts, he said.
"Usually, we see it when (phones are) left unattended," said GPD spokesman Ben Tobias. "But here, people are realizing phones were stolen while in their purses or pockets. It was being done stealthily, so they didn't feel or realize it was gone immediately."
In many cases, when victims realized their phones were gone and attempted to track them using GPS apps, the batteries had already been removed or the app had been disabled.
Tobias said awareness is the primary key to prevention.
"Always know (your) surroundings," Tobias said. "That's the biggest thing."
Tobias said there is not enough data to suggest the thefts were tied to a pick-pocketing ring.
"It's one of those crimes of opportunity," Tobias said. "I think it's coincidental. It was just a strange spike over the weekend."

Thank You!! These look awesome!!!

Awesome, Perfect, Unique and Ideal Coloring Pictures! Glad I bought!!
Lynn Anderson on May 4, 2014
Beautiful doodle art. Very pleased!
Exploring the Magic of the Doodle
I'm Samantha and I've been doodling ever since I can remember. I love creating fun, original designs that are highly detailed and interesting to coloring fanatics of all ages. Take a look....you are bound to find something you'll love!
The benefits of coloring are endless...
Focus and discipline are required when coloring these pages. Too often our focus is split, making it impossible to give our attention to one thought or idea. We need to learn to focus, dedicating ourselves to those things of real importance. We also develop patience. Too many of us are constantly in a hurry. Slow down and enjoy the colors and patterns that are coming to life in front of you. Let the moment last and turn into a lasting memory.
Coloring can be a huge relaxation technique. We often are unable to let go of negative thoughts that are invading our mind. We are constantly thinking about ways to fix situations but unable to come up with anything, causing us more stress and worry. Sit down and color. Let the detailed designs take over your focus. You will find that while your mind is calm and clear, you can receive answers and incites that were there all along, but just lost in chaos.
You aren't just coloring, you are creating art. You carefully choose your color combination and what patterns they create, not to mention coloring very intricate and small spaces. Taking your time and using your own innate creative talent, you will produce your own piece or art, worthy of framing and displaying. Kids and adults need more exposure to their own creative talent.
At the end of the day coloring is fun. It is something we discover as a child that never leaves us. While coloring can be a individual activity, bringing mediation and solitude, it is also an activity that brings family and friends together. Teachers chatting around a table during their conference time, friends gossiping at a sleepover, students joking in their dorm room and family members reminiscing at a reunion, all coloring and creating art. The happiness brought from coloring is endless. Go on and explore the magic of the doodle!

Shawn Kelly realized his dream to animate films with the help of three mentors who took a personal interest in his career. Convinced that animation lovers everywhere should have the same opportunity, he cofounded Animation Mentor, an online animation school with student/mentor relationships at its core.
Kelly works with Bobby Beck, Animation Mentor's CEO and cofounder, and cofounder Carlos Baena to help define and shape the school's overall direction. Kelly balances his Animation Mentor role with his work as a senior animator at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in San Francisco, Calif.
Born in Santa Rosa, Calif., and raised in Petaluma, Kelly set his sights on working at ILM at age 5 when the movie Star Wars hit the big screen. Under the tutelage of animators Bill Hennes and John Root, he studied drawing and computer software throughout high school, attended community college and later enrolled in the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
A summer internship at ILM introduced Kelly to another influential mentor, animation director Wayne Gilbert. It was through Gilbert that Kelly realized he wasn't learning what he needed at school. Kelly left the academy in 1996 for a job as character animator at former video game and educational company Presage Software, but continued his studies with Gilbert twice a week.
In 1998, Kelly fulfilled his lifelong dream and landed a job at ILM. Since that time, he has worked on numerous films including War of the Worlds, for which he animated tripods and probes; Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, where he helped develop and animate the vulture droids and animated Yoda in a pivotal swordfight; and Rango, where he was the Lead Animator for both the Mayor of Dirt and the Spirit of the West. Kelly also worked as Lead Animator on all three Transformers movies. Kelly's credits feature 23 films including Hulk, the Star Wars prequels, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and The Avengers.
Kelly received the 2007 award for the "Best Single Visual Effect of the Year" by the Visual Effects Society (VES), an organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences and application of visual effects. Kelly's winning effect was for the desert highway sequence of Transformers, in which Bonecrusher skates through traffic, destroys a bus and fights Optimus Prime.
Kelly has developed curriculum and taught at the Academy of Art University and was on the team that earned the 2000 CLIO award for Best Computer Animation for a Pepsi/Star Wars "Alien" campaign. Kelly currently lives in San Anselmo, Calif., where he reads a lot — especially comics — and writes short films.

Today's entertainment industry is looking towards education institutions to provide tomorrows talented artists to help build the next big film titles. With the recent release of top films Men in Black 3, Avengers Assemble, and Pixar's Brave, graduates are leaving the university setting to a career that hosts film credits.
At each step, the makers are engaged in an integrated, interdisciplinary collaboration within the virtual world, while it is being created. Starting with the redesign of production itself, Story, Character, Action, and Resolution evolve from idea through prototyping to realization in a non-linear flow.

text: lipsryme 1522 Report post Posted April 26, 2013 I'm trying to render environment maps from my probes and I've read about a technique of using the GS to draw all 6 faces at the same time (?) I haven't really found any details on how that is done, and if so is it the best way to do that? Or should I just render face after face 6 times ? Now is there some way to compose this cubemap from my rendertargets or do I have to do that by hand using CubeMapGen from each face ? And my last question how do I write this rendertarget to my filesystem as a *.DDS file ? Is there an API call or something ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FoodNetwork.com's FN Dish blog and some of our other favorite food sites are celebrating a virtual Thanksgiving feast. We invite you to #PullUpAChair to our virtual communal table. We're bringing a quick and easy appetizer that will keep your guests happy and satiated while you finish up preparing the meal.
This celebratory meal of bounty doesn't have to be a stress-inducing race with the clock. If you're anything like me on Thanksgiving, when guests arrive, the turkey still needs to rest, the potatoes still need to be mashed, and you're in a scramble to get lumps out of the gravy. All the while, guests are waiting around hungrily and you're losing your wits in the kitchen.
Maple Pecan Baked Brie
Pick one or two light nibbles that can be thrown together in a cinch. You can even just arrange a hodgepodge of different cheeses and crackers, or an assortment of cured meats, olives and breads. And if paired with an appetite-stimulating aperitif, guests will only get happier as they wait.
This Thanksgiving, we're choosing to start off the meal with a stylish, simple-to-prepare Maple Pecan Baked Brie. The pecan praline sauce that crowns the salty, warm baked brie is reminiscent of a pecan pie but with just a touch of sweetness from maple syrup. A generous dose of fragrant, coarsely ground black pepper brings an intricate depth to this savory-sweet appetizer.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Meet Results
ITHACA, N.Y. – For the first time in program history, the Penn gymnastics team has won back-to-back ECAC Championships. The Quakers scored their second-highest overall score of the season on Saturday in Ithaca, N.Y. at Cornell with a 193.725, winning their fourth title in school history.
Leading the way for the Red and Blue was their performance on beam. The Quakers had their sixth and final rotation on beam, needing an outstanding team score to earn the ECAC title. Penn went on to total the third-highest score in program history with a 48.875 – surpassing the 48.775 they scored a couple weeks ago at Penn State – cementing the victory over the host Big Red, who finished second, by .475 overall.
Penn started the meet in the second rotation on floor and totaled a team score of 48.275. The Quakers were led by Elyse Shenberger, who placed fourth with a 9.800, and Kirsten Strausbaugh, who placed 11th with a 9.725. The Red and Blue moved on to vault for rotation three, and totaled another respectable team score at 48.225. Dana Bonincontri was the team's top finisher on this event, placing seventh with a 9.725, competing on vault for the first time since Feb. 1 at Ball State. Wynne Levy and Carissa Lim were Penn's next top two finishers, and they tied for 11th at 9.650.
In rotation four, Penn headed to the bars and scored a 48.350 overall. Strausbaugh tied for second with a 9.800 as the Quakers' best finisher on the afternoon. She was followed by Bonincontri (9.775) and Shenberger (9.725) who tied for fourth and seventh, respectively. Megan Milavec placed 10th as well for Penn with a 9.675.
After going on a bye for rotation five, it all came down to how Penn could perform on the beam in rotation six. And perform they did, beginning with Milavec and Amanda Schlaefer, both of whom scored a 9.800 to tie for third – Schlaefer's performance was also her career high. Bonincontri and Keolamau Yee were Penn's next best finishers, tying for seventh at 9.775 – Yee set a season high with her routine. Shenberger and Strausbaugh were the last two for the Quakers as the rookie placed 11th with a career-high-tying 9.775 and the senior co-captain placed 18th with a 9.650.
In the all-around the Quakers had Strausbaugh, who placed second with a 38.775, and Milavec, who finished third at 38.650, make the ECAC podium.
The Red and Blue will now await invitations to the NCAA Regional Championships. The last two seasons, Penn has been represented by Bonincontri and Strausbaugh as all-around competitors.

text: Dear all, I was wondering if you could help. I have been trying to enable the DNG features for my camera (Ixus iZoom 5 megapixel, aka SD-30). It features 5 buttons (on/off; shooter; DirectPrint; Func./Set; and Menu) and a three position selector slider (Play mode; Video mode; Shooting mode). Now, I have succesfully managed to load the last chdk build (0.9.9-873) for my camera, load the badpixel script (badpixel.lua) from the Test folder under Script parameters, move the slider to Shooting mode and successfully run the script following the instructions in the user guide (the camera shoots twice; final count of bad pixels is 1925). Once is done it says 'Press SET to save; other key to exit'. I therefore press the Func./Set button and it saves the badpixel.bin file under the CHDK folder. Then the script shows the message 'Finished'. Well, I quit ALT mode, move the slider to PLAY mode, enter ALT mode again, RAW Parameters but then the DNG options are still not available in the menu. What am I doing wrong? Has anybody else with this model of camera experienced the same? Is this a specific problem with this camera? Please help :( Thanks in advance :)

Five CousinsLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Five cousins are celebrating New Year's Day. Using the following clues, determine each person's age, birth date, and birth time.
Names: Alvin, Donna, Jerry, Laura, Steve (Donna and Laura are girls)
Ages: 28, 29, 30, 31, 32
Months: February, May, June, August, October
Dates: 9th, 11th, 15th, 29th, 31st
Times: 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM
1) Two of the boys were born in a leap year.
2) Neither girl was born in the morning.
3) Both girls were born in the first half of the month.
4) One of the boys was born three hours later in the day than one of the girls.
5) No one celebrated a golden birthday last year, and no one will celebrate a golden birthday this year.
6) The five people are: Alvin, the person who is 32 years old, the person born in August, the person born on the 11th, and the person born at 9:00 AM.
7) The person born at 6:00 AM is older than the girl born on the 15th, who is older than the boy born in October.
8) Jerry was born earlier in the year than the person born on the 11th, who was born earlier in the year than the person who is 28 years old.
9) The person born in May was born earlier in the month than the person born at 7:00 PM, who was born earlier in the month than the person who is 30 years old.
10) The person born on the 29th was born earlier in the day than the person who is 31 years old, who was born earlier in the day than the person born in June.
11) Steve and Donna have the two closest birthdays.
HintSome helpful steps (though not all) are listed below.
1) February and June do not have 31 days, so neither month can have 31 days. February can only have the 29th in a leap year.
2) A golden birthday is when a person becomes the age that is the same as the day of birth. For example, a person born on the 10th of a month celebrates a golden birthday when that person turns ten years old. Since a golden birthday was not celebrated last year and will not be celebrated this year, the persons who are 28 and 29 were not born on the 29th, and the persons who are 30 and 31 were not born on the 31st.
3) For two boys to be born during leap years, they must be four years apart in age. Therefore, one boy must be 32 years old, and another boy must be 28 years old.
4) One boy was born three hours later in the day than a girl. There are only two situations that satisfy that requirement: a girl born at 6:00 AM and a boy born at 9:00 AM, or a girl born at 2:00 PM and a boy born at 5:00 PM. Since no girl was born in the morning, then that leaves a girl born at 2:00 PM with a boy born at 5:00 PM. That also means that the other girl was born at 7:00 PM.
5) Since one of the girls must be born on the 15th, and both girls were born in the first half of a month, the 15th can not be in February.
6) With the remaining combinations of months and days, the two closest birthdays can only be in May and June.
7) Since it has now been established that the 29th is in February, then it must be matched with a person born in a leap year, which can only be the person who is 28 or 32. It has been established that the person who is 28 was born on October 31st, so the person who is 32 was born on February 29th.
AnswerAlvin, 28 years old, born on October 31st at 5:00 PM
Donna, 29 years old, born on June 11th at 7:00 PM
Jerry, 32 years old, born on February 29th at 6:00 AM
Laura, 30 years old, born on August 15th at 2:00 PM
Steve, 31 years old, born on May 9th at 9:00 AM

is hardening of a blood vessel from a buildup of plaque. Plaque is made of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and calcium. It builds on the inside lining of arteries. This causes the artery to narrow and harden. As plaque builds up, it can slow and even stop blood flow.
Endarterectomy is a surgery to remove this build-up and improve blood flow. Surgery is most often performed on:
This surgery is done to remove the build-up of deposits and improve blood flow. After the surgery, the symptoms of reduced blood flow, such as
stroke, digestive problems, and leg cramps should improve.
If you are planning to have endarterectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your risk of complications may also be increased if you have plaque build-up in other vessels.
Before the surgery, your doctor will:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
In addition, you may be instructed to:
You may have:
Incisions will be made over the diseased part of the artery. The location will depend on the artery that is being unblocked.
In the abdomen and legs, the artery above the obstruction will be clamped during the repair. The lower half of the body can go without blood supply during the time it takes to do the surgery. If surgery is done on the neck, the blood around the surgical site may first be rerouted. This will keep blood going to the brain.
The inside of the artery will be cleaned out. Care will be taken not to have small fragments of the deposits break off and flow downstream, causing stroke or arterial occlusion. After the artery is cleaned out, the artery and the skin will be closed with sutures or staples.
Several hours, depending on the severity of the disease
After surgery, there will be pain from the incisions. Ask your doctor about medication to help reduce discomfort.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is one day to one week. You may need to stay longer if complications occur.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:

THE fight to save the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers could be extended to the House of Lords.
That's the hope of Bury North MP David Nuttall, despite being told the Army is to go-ahead with planned changes which could effectively see the 600-strong armoured infantry unit being disbanded by 2014.
Undaunted, however, the MP has pledged to continue his House of Commons campaign to save the battalion.
In October, following a Commons debate over the controversial issue, MPs voted 57-3 to oppose proposals to axe the 2RRF.
In a question raised in the House of Commons last Thursday, Mr Nuttall said: "On October 18, the House passed a motion calling on the Government to reverse their decision to disband the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. May we have a statement on when and how the Government propose to respond to that motion?" Leader of the House Andrew Lansley replied that ministers responded not only at the time, but at questions subsequently. And he stressed: "The Army will continue to implement the changes announced on July 5 by the Secretary of State of Defence, and further uncertainty for serving Fusiliers would be unhelpful. We now need to support them through the battalion merger as they look to the future."
Despite the rebuttal, Mr Nuttall said: "I raised this matter with the Leader of the House as it is important to demonstrate the campaign has not gone away. Indeed, we are continuing to seek opportunities to continue to raise this matter inside the House of Commons and are also looking at ways the campaign can be extended to the House of Lords."
Mr Nuttall continued: "I was not surprised with the answer from the Leader of the House as one would not expect any reversal of the decision to be announced by him."
Previously, Prime Minister David Cameron agreed to meet MPs spearheading the campaign to save the battalion. Mr Nuttall and other Parliamentarians plan a series of further meetings in an effort to strengthen their case for the retention of the battalion.

Texting is so much quicker when I don't have to keep going back to correct mistakes. Love this item and would happily recommend it in particular to all people with dexterity issues.
Was having to go back continually to correct errors when texting. Now it is one time and it's done. No more frustration. Love it.

Very useful - should buy more
By Quilting Bee
from Grande Prairie, Alberta
Very nifty tool. I started using this on our new tablet but now I use it on my new laptop, as well. Should probably order another one or two as they are very useful getting better definition than my finger on the touch screens and helps keep the screen cleaner. Very satisfied.
Love it, love it, love it!!!

Bought 2, one for me and one for my son.We both find them wonderful!So much easier to use than finger tips.Also thrilled with the show stopper price!Don't think I could use my ipad now without the stylus!Thanks Shopping Channel...!
Pretty in Dark Pink and Blue
By Queen of Diamonds
from Victoria (British Columbia)
I ordered six of these, due to the previous reviews.I ordered two for my partner, two for myself and a couple of extra for little gifts. I'll probably order more. Something everyone should have. What a pleasure to be able to text without hitting the wrong keys. I didn't have as much trouble as my partner did. He has large hands and texting on his phone was a nuisance for him. He usually hit two keys at a time. No more. This stylus makes texting for both of us, and my Kobo Vox scrabble and navigating, very easy. We each keep one with us and one near all our touch equipment in the house. My partner put a chain through the little hole provided and keeps it around his neck. It's like a pen in your purse or pocket. Very convenient. Hence the two each. They work beautifully and it takes half the time to type everything.Excellent purchase. Excellent price. Excellent Free Shipping...Thank you. Love it.
Love this Stylus Pen
By Lydia
from Sarnia
Bought the pen to use with my new Kindle Fire. Works great! Useful when playing games, web search, etc. etc. Far less screen cleaning!

Whilst looking for that spot and getting there I must've died half a dozen ties. One maybe two kills during that. Two minutes after the sunderer were down, TR had virtually no presence in the main part of the base.
Displaying the K/D as prominently as they do, and having that be part of the regional "score" system still really irks me. It has bugger all to do with recording how "well" or usefully a player is playing."KING GEORGE IS A FROG

What strikes me in the leaderboards so far (last I checked) that the top 5 are mainly heavies and one (or two) medics and the top 10 are only HA, Medic and Engineer. Kinda reflects my feeling about the other classes. They are too situational while the other three are pretty good in almost every situation.
With the class system they wanted to avoid that there are too much "jack of all trades" but in the end their class loadouts aren't that different.
In fact, they are very killable indeed. And sometimes they hardly help their team at all.
They are just super annoying when going infantry because you can not do anything against them and hardly avoid them. Rock, Paper, Scissors is not fun. At least for me. I would love to have any indication when a sniper is aiming in my direction. Maybe some laser pointer, maybe some glare of their scope, anything. Just so that i know ohshithidesomewhere. Anything that afterwards gives me the feeling, that i could have avoided my death or at least that he was really good and killed me within a second after he spotted me.
Several modern FPS have things like that. Or they do not have one-shot killing snipers. Or at least a missing sniper bullet can be told apart from the dozens of other bullets flying around, so that i can at least haste for cover after he missed me once.
They are not OP, just unfun and lazy designed.
I am still having a lot of fun for sure, i just feel, that snipers could be better designed or not have those bolt-action rifles. I believe they would not be better or much worse if all of them had to do with the semi-automatic rifles. That already feels way fairer than the one-shot-death version.
Just using this thread: if you want to have a look at weapon damage, time to kill etc go here:
Speaking of weapons and such, anyone feel the weapon descriptions sometimes don't quite add up to the stats list on the right? I've seen some weapons described as close-quarters focused, when they are listed as Medium or Long, and a sniper rifle that is described as being useful for close combat is listed as long. Same with some of the reload speed, fire rate, damage, accuracy etc. stats versus what description says.[B]Steam:[/B] krusader83 | [B][COLOR=#ff8c00]O[/COLOR]rigin:[/B] Sceptrum

As to snipers: every sniper rifle gives off a highly visible bullet trail. If a sniper bullet whizzes past your head, believe me you KNOW. Even if you're already under fire. It's one of the more annoying parts of sniping, one missed shot and you're not gonna get the kill (even with the semi-auto snipers). Also, if you're having trouble with snipers, tell your team to establish an air presence. It's nigh impossible to snipe at most bases if the enemy has air superiority; most sniper positions are exposed to the air and aircraft can usually spot the bullet trails a mile away. Remember that PS2 is not a solo game, so the fact that a sniper can kill one person who can't react isn't that big of a deal, because as a team they can be counterplayed even if not individually. individual deaths simply aren't important. If you want the game to be balanced around your individual play and skill, then you're looking for a different game. Getting killed by a sniper is no different than getting your sunderer blown up by a liberator, or your liberator blown up by a fighter squadron. Sure, on a surface level you can counterplay those, but in reality the moment you see that enemy crest the horizon you are dead (if they are competent). This is a strategic game as much as it is tactical, if not more; it is *always* about the big picture, not the small one.
@groovy: you mean the rousing speech and the hotdrop directly into a combat zone wasn't enough to get you on your feet? In all seriousness, this game is way better played with people. Make a character and hop on mumble, then meet up with whoever's online. Grab some kind of transport and roll out to the nearest battle zone. It's a ton of fun just roaming around fighting small skirmishes for the smaller points, and then when you get into a major battle you can coordinate and work together to accomplish concrete objectives (like taking down a generator or capping a spawn point). The game's a bit dense at first but once you start playing it all starts making sense.
And as for the hot drops: remember that the hot drop location is based on where there have recently been a large number of deaths. Which often means that you're being hot dropped onto the enemies that just killed all your nearby allies.
I'm loving it. There's always something going on, even if you're playing solo you can just join one of the fronts on a base assault, or even sneak behind enemy lines solo and cut off a spawn point/vehicle spawner/whatever and seriously assist team mates you can't even see. I feel useful whatever I'm doing, even if it's dying frequently (I spend far too much time spotting enemies that jump me... just in case I don't win the trade-off).
Playing with RPS has been a blast too. Up until now I've mostly played with RPS on my own mumble server, playing LoL, and it's really cut me off from a wealth of folks who are much the same in personality - relaxed, friendly, and inclusive. Had a blast so far!
With regards to the sniper issue... a bad sniper is easy to see. The bullet trail's a dead giveaway, and people who don't have sniper rifles tend to spray so if you can distinguish single shots you can hazard a guess that it's a sniper. A good sniper, well, I doubt you'd see them with current day tech let alone future tech. Air reconnaissance should be considered a necessity to counter this - it's war, not a deathmatch.Itsbastiat, Dawngate

The sheer power of it means that even if you miss the head (which it's not always worth going for), most players will take heavy damage and run for cover immediately. Compared to the fast but weak TR rifle (which is no less deadly if you go for the head), it's like carrying around the finger of god. Of course, the TR infiltrator will have the upper hand when you're sneaking around at close quarters, and everyone else will kill you in an instant if they see you first.
They can be countered, but even without the threat of snipers, it's best to always be in as much cover as possible. You're never safe anywhere, and should always have an eye on the horizon and every cliff and shadow and corner, ready to tap Q and take a shot at them, or hide and watch your allies open up. Even light assaulters can take a sniper out at long range. They die very easily once exposed.
Or at least a missing sniper bullet can be told apart from the dozens of other bullets flying around, so that i can at least haste for cover after he missed me once.

I'm enjoying it, but I have a few issues.
Primarily I'm finding it too complicated. I don't know why, I really mastered the first game and was a slaughterfest ninja, Galaxy pilot and the like. I really nailed it. I even had people following me - no, really, stop laughing.
But this one... I don't know, I look at the map on my HUD and it makes jack sense. I just end up following the zerg.
I want to get into the outfit, but comms are a real problem for me. Listening is fine, but I'm usually unable to talk - very long story, unwell wife, keeping the noise down, etc. That tends to make me not worth hanging around.
I'm also finding the expenditure of certs etc a bit of a complex act. I just dunno what I'm doing. I guess most of the above can be attributed to my age!
And lastly I guess the login. I'm reluctant to part with cash for premium access at the moment, and yet it's preventing me from playing most nights.
Overall, when I'm in the zone, I'm enjoying it. A lot. I can't wait til I work out how to use a Max because I used to enjoy that, but I'm finding a few elements a chore. Otherwise, fun fun.
If you can't talk, Mumble also offers a text chat option. Some guys with multiple monitors (like me) keep an eye on that and can invite you that way. Or you could just add Cooper or me (Boriz) as a friend in PS2 and we can add you to the outfit.
And yeah, the queue is nasty. It's party because we play on one of the two original Euro servers and all the PS1 outfits decided they wanted to go there, so all the oldblood is there. Other servers have way less queue, so if you don't care about our company and oldschoolers, make a character on a lower population server -- you'll get in much faster.
My tactic is to log in and when the queue pops up I alt-tab out, browse the web a bit and grab a coffee. I'm expecting the queue to shorten too, it's only been a week since launch so the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

As Boris said, add the people in the server list as friends and when one is online you should be able to get an invite to the outfit, hop on mumble and listen in and you'll start getting into the swing of it.
Also, dont forget Im collecting names in the Server list, until the outfit finding thing can be properly implemented.- Tom De Roeck.

"Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it." - The Conclave
My only complaint so far stems from the Bio Labs. They are a hilariously terrible base design and have such a negligible impact on the territory benefits I can't see why any would bother fighting over them.
They are trivially easy to capture with even just a handful of players thanks to the obnoxious teleport pads, so much so that I can't think of an occasion where an attacking force has bothered blowing up the anti-tank shield to dominate the understructure. The outer ring of defences are effectively pointless other than for blowing up/repairing for xp, though arguably the AA turrets are 'ok' but they are too low and have poor fields of fire up to the pads that Galaxies can and will saunter in and land on a pad fairly easily.
But if defended by a decent number of players they are a total ball-ache even with the teleporters as you cannot use a proper combined-arms tactic to push when attacking because the MASSIVE SHIELD and the fact it is a mile in the air means both air and land vehicles are useless.
Worst. Base. Ever.

All the bases are rather lacking in design from a defensive/offensive point of view in fairness!
Yes, they do not really cater to combined attacks. But as i enjoy infantry the most and hate playing World of Tanks in Planetside 2, that is a very good thing for me. Also some attacking tanks can be needed to keep the defending tanks inside their room to protect the sunderers. Sunderers parked near the lift to the airfields are otherwise very vulnerable.
And i really enjoy the fighting inside. It is so wonderfull hectic and chaotic. Also i have defended Bio Labs with onle a few friends against full squads. It is all about the SCU then, as in many Bio Labs, the main spawn room is very very close to a majority of the control nodes while attackers need to run some more.
And finally i love how important the satellites are. Gives the defenders another option to hinder the attack by retaking those. You can often reach them quite easily using a jump pad from the side of the air fields.
I suppose it all comes down to personal preference, i hate big battles at AMP Stations. After the vehicle shields are broken just once, it only becomes a question of who can spam more tanks.

I was trying to defend a Bio Lab the other night, when the TR attackers managed to get a Liberator inside the dome somehow
it went poorly for us after that.

I am absolutely loving the game so far. Late Saturday night I fell in with a group that was actually coordinating their offensive rather than the usual chaos - 2 galaxies and I think 3 sunderers worth of troops with assorted air and armour support, rolling from one capture to another. Felt like a glimpse of what the game will be once the initial rush settles down and people get used to the flow of battle.
My one complaint is that there's no option to transfer servers. I got some weapon unlocks using the 2x black friday station cash deal, before discovering that the communities I like to play with settled on different servers from the one I was on. Make it a paid transfer, or put a long cooldown on it, but there should be some option.

If logging in is a problem, try other servers. I don't think I've ever seen a qeueueueue on Ceres, and Woodman is usually okay, too. I've seen no noticeable difference in player numbers once in there, either, since everyone's dispersed anyway.
I agree with DeVadder re: bio labs. If I spawn at a busy tech plant, I leave almost right away, as they're hideously boring if you can't take them quickly. Bio labs have much more room for sneaking and jetting and flanking and having little skirmishes in and around the main grindzone. Come the huge battles, I'll be off to the side somewhere rather than playing tank the tank.

SUSPECTED shoplifters tried to take £5,000 of jewellery from a Blackburn shop.
Officers were called to Rahman Jewellers, in Whalley Range, after a member of staff realised a tray of gold rings had gone missing from one of the glass display cabinets.
Assistant manager Waheed Rahman, said she called the police as soon as she realised something was wrong. She said the theft appeared to have happened when staff were distracted by a number of people in the shop.
The 33-year-old said: "The rings are worth several thousands of pounds.
"When I noticed the tray of rings was missing I went to check the CCTV and called the police."
The incident happened at around 2.45pm on Saturday .
A police spokesman said: "The offence was caught on CCTV.
"The shop owner realised something was being stolen and called the police.
"Anyone with information should contact police on 101."
A 24-year-old woman from Moston, near Manchester, has been charged for shoplifting.
A 45-year-old man, again from Moston, also arrested on suspicion of shoplifting, was released on police bail until January 9.

There is a hoary old chestnut about the professor of economics walking through the City with a graduate student. They see a £20 note lying on the pavement across the street, and the student makes as if to cross the road to pick it up.
"Don't bother," says the professor. "It must be a fake. If it were real, someone would already have picked it up."

Journalist Maeve O'Meara has co-authored 12 books and takes food lovers on culinary adventures here and overseas. When she returns, she enjoys cooking with exotic ingredients picked up on her travels. O'Meara lives on Sydney's north shore with her three teenage children. The fourth Food Safari series is screening on SBS.
My toolkit
Korean super-long washing up gloves, Laguiole steak knives, tajine, mandolin, mortar and pestle, rotary parmesan grater.
My pantry Olive oil - I've got a range, from the classic 4-litre cold-pressed Cretan oil, which I decant to smaller bottles, to a bottle of Sicilian unfiltered olive oil, which is green and full of flavour and perfect for salads and finishing dishes. Balsamic, red wine and white balsamic vinegars. Bagoong shrimp paste, there's a lovely Filipino pork adobo by Ricky Ocampo that my daughter Scarlett adores and it's featured in the new series. Chickpeas - I've learnt the 9mm from the Ord River in the Kimberley are the Rolls-Royce of chickpeas - creamy and nutty. We seem to always be making hummus. Roasted eggplant in a jar - great for quick babaghanoush.
My spice cupboard Iranian saffron, zaatar, sumac, Spanish paprika, nigella seeds, Peruvian chilli pastes.
My fridge Pepe Saya butter, goat's milk and cow's milk, feta cheeses and haloumi - so easy to slice and cook on a pan when people pop in.
Food discovery
There are so many being collected all the time as I go exploring. Turkish black mulberry jam, great with plain yoghurt; delicate rose-petal jam; and a thick chunky Syrian fig jam, which is fabulous on toasted pide. Vietnamese rice paper with black sesame seeds, perfect with green papaya salad, which features in the Lao episode of the new series. Pishmaniye, Turkish fairy floss, is great to add to a dessert platter and fun, too.
I'm drinking
Irish and French breakfast teas, Mariage Freres Marco Polo tea, green gunpowder with fresh mint (Moroccan tea). The best coffee beans were discovered years ago and never wavered - Di Lorenzo coffee, which is full bodied and freshly roasted. I love wines from north-east Victoria, the Italian-style wines that go so well with food.
Saturday night tipple Mumm champagne.
My garden
I love picking fresh herbs for cooking. We have sage, parsley, oregano, thyme, basil and mint as well as a curry leaf tree, pomegranate and a kaffir lime.
Most memorable meal
It was with a wonderful woman called Roma Puertolano, who lives at Chilli Creek, north of Broome. She used Asian sauces, ginger and tomato to make the best chilli mud crab, so sweet and delicious, all cooked over the wood fire at her camp.
Many many cookbooks. I treasure my signed copy of Charmaine Solomon's Encyclopedia of Asian Food and my falling-apart Maureen Simpson books with family staples that always work. My favourites tell a story and echo a culture, not just recipes.
Last dinner at home
Sheftalia, which is pork mince with fresh herbs cooked on the barbecue with bastourma sausages; haloumi with lemon and served with ajvar - a capsicum relish from Macedonia; a salad inspired by the talented Ismail Tosun - cauliflower chopped finely and dry toasted on a pan; I add ras el hanout spices to this, then mix with pomegranate seeds (my favourite new ingredient), handfuls of chopped mint and parsley, toasted pine nuts and soaked currants.

The symposium will be held March 26-27, 2014 in the Meyer Science Center on the campus of Wheaton College. Global energy consumption is expected to increase in the 21st century due to increasing population and demand from industrialized and developing countries. Yet, most of the world's energy is derived from fossil fuels which are non-renewable and contribute to global warming. Nuclear energy, like other energy sources, has a number of advantages and disadvantages but will likely be a part of the overall energy solution. Current research is addressing issues such as nuclear safety and radioactive waste and advanced reactor designs may offer significant promise for dealing with these concerns. In this year's symposium, nuclear engineering experts will examine the future of nuclear energy and explore what might be done to bring innovative nuclear technologies from promise to reality. For more information, go to the symposium website.

DETROIT – Nothing that would happen Tuesday night was going to completely rid the Ducks of the bitter taste left from last spring.
A rare rout of the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena would go down smoothly in the meantime.
Jakob Silfverberg scored in his return from a nearly two-month absence and the Ducks scored three more times in the first period on the way to a 5-2 pasting of the Red Wings for their sixth straight win.
The Ducks (24-7-5) largely downplayed their first matchup with Detroit since their Game 7 no-show in a surprising first-round exit back in May. This one was a no-contest in their direction after the first few minutes.
"I don't know if it was an important win considering last spring," said goalie Jonas Hiller, who made 16 saves. "It was an important game to start this road trip off on the right foot."
Tomas Jurco's first NHL goal gave injury-plagued Detroit an early lift, but that dissipated in just 25 seconds. Silfverberg, who missed 24 games because of a broken hand, jumped on a deflected shot by Francois Beauchemin and scored his first goal since Oct. 10.
The goal triggered an outburst as Nick Bonino converted in front for a 2-1 lead and Corey Perry followed with his 22nd goal and ninth in his last nine games. Detroit coach Mike Babcock pulled Jonas Gustavsson after three goals allowed on 11 shots.
Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen greeted backup Petr Mrazek with a blistering slap shot that sailed by him with 1.1 seconds left in the period for a 4-1 lead.
"It doesn't happen too often," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "And they always play good defensively. You score four on these guys any time, I think it's a real bonus."
Saku Koivu added a second-period score as the Ducks took care of business against a team that was without eight regulars, most notably captain Henrik Zetterberg, top goalie Jimmy Howard, winger Johan Franzen and defenseman Danny DeKeyser.
The Red Wings (15-12-9) have lost five straight at home and are just 5-9-6 in their venerable, once-imposing arena.
"We were playing against a little bit of a depleted lineup over there," Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said. "It was our job to come out and make sure that we played."

A mum has vowed to get the figure of Pamela Anderson to help her 14-year-old son make the trip of a lifetime to Peru.
Scores of students at Hardenhuish in Chippenham are to go on a month of charity work and personal development in South America in summer 2015, with each needing to raise nearly £4,000 for the Camps International trip.
For Owain Jennings of Kington Langley, who has autistic spectrum disorder, the expedition will be a big boost to his confidence and self-esteem.
His mum Sandra Mathias wants to do all she can to help him get there, while also being a healthy role model and has pledged to sacrifice snacks and cut out the carbs for six months in an attempt to shed three-and-a-half stone.
She started out at 13 stone after Christmas and has already lost 10lbs.
"I am very proud of Owain for wanting to take on this challenge and will do everything I can to support him," said Mrs Mathias, 46, who works as a special needs teaching assistant in Brinkworth.
Owain, who will be 16 when he goes to Peru, said: "I am really thankful to my mum. This is a big challenge for her as she likes her food!
"From the information evening onwards I could not stop thinking and talking about it, and what a wonderful adventure this would be.
"The whole expedition would be like an outdoor classroom for me. I am a very hands-on person and prefer to learn by doing, rather than sitting at a desk, as I do struggle at school sometimes."
To donate to Owain, visit http://ojperu15.wix.com/owainperu2015 He is joined in his fundraising venture by 15-year-old Jack Godwin, of Rumble Dene, Chippenham, who said: "I've always wanted to go to Peru since I was nine and I saw Machu Picchu on the telly. It's really old but Westerners only discovered it in 1911.
"We're going to help build a school and a library for deprived children in rural areas and plant some trees in the Amazon.
"I usually hang out with my friends and play on the X-Box. I think this will be a life-changing experience."
Jack will hold a cake and biscuit sale at Emery Gate at 9am on Saturday, March 1, with goods baked by his mum, sister and friends.
And the following Saturday, on March 8, he and his friends will be doing a sponsored walk from Pewsham to McDonalds in their onesies.

Vote! Is James Franco Mean Betty's Idiot of the Week?
Who will win the award this week? Self-obsessed Michael Lohan, social networking freak James Franco, or bigoted fashion guru John Galliano?
-Mean Betty
Good morning, kittens! It's a brand-new day which means by the time Mean Betty signs off for the afternoon there will be yet another s*it storm in the land of Hollywood. Oh well, what can you do, right?
This week was particularly cluttered with infamous wannabes and men who haven't got the first clue about how to juggle their own agenda and their freaking job. Case in point: James Franco!
The actor/writer/student/director/painter/model/producer was more concerned with updating his Twitter followers than actually ENJOYING the astounding opportunity of co-hosting the Oscars.
Read Mean Betty: Justin Bieber's Rabid Fans and Their Twitter Death Threats
Mean Betty realizes that it has become painfully common for people to text in any given situation (see the true story pic below), but for goodness sakes if you're asked to provide entertainment for A-listers and the American public turn off your bloody phone!
James was a total dud, and then he had the gall to skip out on his own after party. Classy! Good luck ever receiving another offer like that again, silly sod.

HOUSTON - Arson investigators are looking into the cause of a clubhouse fire in southwest Houston.
The fire broke out at the Gessport neighborhood clubhouse in the 12400 block of South Gessner near West Airport around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.
Fire crews worked hard to battle the blaze. The building's front wall collapsed before they were able to put the fire out.
Quincy Floyd moved to the neighborhood a year and a half ago and he said has never seen anything like this.
"It's surprising, because it's always quiet over here," said Floyd. "I don't see how it could have caught fire."
The K-9 unit was called to the scene twice to sniff for any clues to determine the cause of the fire.
A firefighter driving to the scene was treated for chest pains unrelated to fighting the fire. He is doing just fine.

Heidi & Spencer, Get Used to This Face: An Open Letter
Dear Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt,
I regret to inform you that your dopey mugs will no longer be featured on The Superficial.
After conducting a thoroughly scientific survey where I let people call you assholes, it's been almost unanimously determined our readers prefer the STD Tower of Lank above over you two. Let me repeat that: PEOPLE WOULD RATHER READ ABOUT PARIS HILTON THAN LOOK AT YOUR FACES. Frankly, I don't even know how someone accomplishes such a feat, but you two pulled off in spades.
However, to show that I'm not an unreasonable man and for the sake of journalist integrity, I will make the following exceptions in allowing you on this site:
1. Heidi wears a bikini.
2. Heidi covers her topless chest in maple syrup while stumping for Sarah Palin at a Klan rally.
I hope at this time you two will respect that democracy has triumphed here today, and I wish you absolutely zero success in your future endeavors. In fact, I started going to church just so I could pray Heidi gets pregnant.
The Superficial Writer.
P.S. Paris, if you're reading this, I just FEDEX'd you a steak. EAT IT.
EDIT: This is the real deal, folks. Let it never be said I'm not a good and righteous ruler of the Interwebs.

Tonight, I went out to dinner with my hubby, brother, and cousin. We headed out to Santa Monica Promenade, where I used to work, and after dinner we visited a shoe store. That's where I fell in love with a pair of Jeffrey Campbell wedges. Of course, I've known about Jeffrey Campbell, but his styles never really caught my eye…until tonight. I went online and found a few pairs that I wouldn't mind owning. I definitely need to start a Jeffrey Campbell fund.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – An aggressive Eckerd College (6-3-0, 1-1-0 SSC) offense helped the Tritons to a 2-0 upset win over the No.24-ranked Saint Leo men's soccer, Wednesday evening from the Turley Athletic Complex.
The Tritons did all their damage in the second half as they posted two tallies during the final 23 minutes of action to complete the upset.
After a scoreless first half which featured Eckerd collecting the majority of scoring chances, the Tritons broke through in the 77th-minute Turner Humphires slotted a loose ball into the right corner of the net.
Daniel Lopez topped the scoring for Eckerd four minutes later in the 81st-minute as a solo run from the top of the area was footed in from 15 yards out.
The Lions were not without chances, however, as three of the 11 shots ended up on target.
Despite seven saves, McKenzey Scott took for the Lions as he fell to 5-2-0 on the campaign.
The Lions look to recover from the conference setback on Saturday, October 1, when they travel to Pensacola, Fla. to take on region foe West Florida in non-conference action. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. For the latest news, information, and updates on the men's soccer team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.
