text: Leaders of international service organizations learned about a unique partnership between St. John's University and Grameen America that fights poverty through microfinancing during a session the University hosted for the 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service.The session, "It's a Borrower's Market: Microfinance in Action," took place at St. John's Manhattan campus on Tuesday, June 29. It showcased the University's service partnership with Grameen America, which focuses on enterprise and entrepreneurship as vehicles for helping those in need. Participants also browsed entrepreneurs' booths at the Borrower's Market, which St. John's and Grameen America hosted at the campus. The 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service was held from June 28-30 at the Hilton New York in Manhattan. The annual conference is the world's largest gathering of international volunteer and service leaders from the non-profit, government and corporate sectors. Participants learn, connect and gain inspiration through workshops, special events, service projects, exhibits and more.Launched in 2009, St. John's partnership with Grameen America engages students in recruiting local entrepreneurs who otherwise would not qualify for financing. Grameen America is part of the worldwide Grameen Bank. Founded by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, Grameen pioneered microfinancing — providing small loans to struggling businesses and entrepreneurs overlooked by mainstream banks. The University coordinates its partnership with Grameen through VISA, the Vincentian Institute for Social Action at St. John's. VISA unites new and ongoing programs that empower students and professors to address poverty and injustice through teaching, research and service. Inspired by Grameen, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John's created Global Opportunities for Budding Entrepreneurs (GLOBE), a student-managed microloan fund. Read the full release.

Hey everyone :3 I've been thinking a lot about an rp with mages in it lately but haven't really got a direction yet. My thoughts so far are either a:
Mages Guild vs Mages Guild (rivalry, not good vs evil)
Mages vs The Church (made up religion)
A college of mages
Light Mages vs Dark Mages
Or of course any combination of them. I'm really just unsure where to bring this but I have some ideas on how the magic would work.

Spring has sprung in a major way in Navarre and with the warmer temperatures comes an increase in pollen, allergy, and bug complaints.
An unusually warm winter that ended is heading into a warm spring means an early, aggressive start to allergy season.
Roughly 25 to 35 percent of Americans suffer from hay fever and other pollen related complaints, and the warm weather was not as welcome for allergy suffers.

Elladan and Elrohir
Talk5this wiki
Redirected from Elrohir
Elladan and Elrohir are the twin sons of Elrond, the Half-elven and Celebrían of Rivendell (Imladris) and were noted for their close friendship and cooperation with the Dúnedain of the North, Rangers of the North and Men in general, and for their deeds during the War of the Ring.
Third AgeEdit
Elladan and Elrohir are born in TA 130 and they have a younger sister Arwen. Through their mother Celebrían, they are the only grandsons of Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn of Lothlórien.
In TA 2509 the brothers rescue their mother from her imprisonment with the Orcs. She is physically healed by Elrond, but after fear and torment, she soon departed for the Grey Havens the next year. Due to this, the twins harbored great hatred for Orcs.[1]
By the year TA 2933, Elladan and Elrohir went riding against Orcs with Arathorn II, father of Aragorn. There Arathorn was slain and his wife and son went to dwell in Imladris, where Elrond receives Aragorn as his foster-son, naming him Estel.[2]
War of the RingEdit
When the Fellowship arrive in Rivendell, the twin's role was to scout the lands and prepare the way for the Fellowship. Later, they traveled along with Halbarad and the Grey Company. They followed Aragorn through the Paths of the Dead and battled in the Fields of Pelennor.
During The Last Council, Elladan and Elrohir seconded Mithrandir's decision to throw the remaining troops of Gondor and Rohan at the Morannon, saying that Elrond had sent them with that same counsel from Rivendell.
After the WarEdit
After the war, Elladan and Elrohir meet the escort of Arwen in Lothlorien, and together, they travel to Edoras.[3] They witness the wedding of Arwen and Aragorn, along with Glorfindel and Erestor.[4] When their father already departed to the West, the brothers stayed in Rivendell. In time their grandfather Celeborn came to live with them in a short while before passing into the Grey Havens. It is unclear whether they eventually joined their parents and grandparents in Valinor, or chose to remain in Middle Earth.
Though Tolkien never specifically states that Elrohir and Elladan were twins, it is suspected that they were for four reasons: first, they are described as "So much alike were they, the sons of Elrond, that few could tell them apart: dark-haired, grey-eyed, and their faces elven-fair, clad alike in bright mail beneath cloaks of silver-grey" (Tolkien 761). Secondly, one is rarely mentioned without the other, and their names are only separated when they are speaking. Thirdly, they were both born in the same year, while most elves wait at least ten years between children. (Elves' gestation periods are roughly a yearlong, so it would be hard to bring two sons into the world in the same year if they were not twins.) Fourthly, the birth of twins was not a rare occurrence in their family history (Amrod and Amras, Eluréd and Elurín, Elrond and Elros).
The brethren were friends and companions-in-arms of the Rangers of the North, and helped defend the remnants of Arnor from evil after the fall of the northern kingdom. They held a special grudge against orcs because of their mother's suffering at their hands.
Like their sister, father, and uncle, they could make a choice between mortality and immortality, expressed by whether they would follow their father to Valinor at the time of his own departure at the end of the Third Age. Since they are explicitly described as remaining in Rivendell for a time after their father's departure, some fans speculated that they had also chosen mortality. However, J.R.R. Tolkien himself noted that the twins were allowed to "delay" their choices.
Portrayal in adaptationsEdit
Video gamesEdit
They also appeared in the Lord of the Rings: War in the North video game. They are seen in the first level at Fornost by the three main characters of the game: Eradan (ranger), Farin (champion), and Andriel. They leave behind them many dead orcs and goblins. When Elladan and Elrohir meet the three heroes, just after the heroes have finished fighting a troll, they decide to work together to reach the City's citadel.
When they arrive at the citadel, Elrohir and Elladan go after the leader of the dark forces here in Fornost, also the main villain of the game: Agandaur. They are seen dueling him atop the citadel. Their duel with him is finished after Eradan, Andriel, and Farin arrive - after killing some of Agandaur's orcs and his chieftain Tharzog - forcing Agandaur to retreat on a fell beast. The Great Eagle Beleram goes after Agandaur, who loses the Eagle by creating a storm with his dark sorcery. With their job done in Fornost, Elladan and Elrohir returned to Rivendell, while the other three went back to Sarn Ford, and Beleram went back to report to Gwaihir the Eagle Lord.
They are seen again in Rivendell as characters that you can speak to.
Appearances in the booksEdit
- The Fellowship of the Ring (mentioned)
- The Return of the King
Fan WorkEdit
Elladan and Elrohir also appear in the fan-made film, Born of Hope and were played by the twin brother actors Sam Kennard and Matt Kennard.
Elladan's name means "Elf-Man", or rather "Elf-Dúnadan", referring to his dual descent from both Elves and Edain (a house of Men from Beleriand).[5] Elrohir means "Elf-knight", apparently in honor of his prowess in arms.

Hi all !!
What's your favorite operating systemand why??
Give as many reasons as you can….
Which ones would you recommend?
Oh jeez, this question...
It's a semi-pointless question. OSes nowadays, with the exception of Linux OSes, are equal. In other words, Macs vs. PC is a pointless distinction as both are equally good. It comes down to personal preference, not reasons. Now, Linux isn't on the same level as Mac and PC because of market pressures. Theoretically Linux OSes could be as good as the other 2 main OSes but since manufacturers don't support Linux OSes as much, Linux isn't as good.
I have five computers dual booting various versions of Windows and Linux, but the OS I use the most is the much maligned Windows ME. This OS runs lightning fast on any hardware sold within the last seven or eight years, and it is reasonably stable. I suspect that the original problems with this OS were due to bad drivers. The most indispensable feature of this OS is Image Preview. I can plug my digital camera into a USB port, see the camera as a hard drive, double click on a picture, and it will come up perfectly sized and centered in Image Preview. I can then click on the print button and it will print out perfectly sized and centered on an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper. I haven't found anything else that will do this entire sequence as easily and simply. Windows XP or Vista may be able to do this, but if I want to move Windows ME to another box, I don't have to beg Microsoft for a 64 digit activation code.
Another nice feature of Windows ME is modem sharing that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to configure. I have started using it as a gateway for my Linux boxes. The OS will not run Firefox 3 or IE7, but it will run Firefox 2 and Opera. If I eventually junk it, it will be because I can no longer find an up-to-date browser for it. Windows ME does everything I want it to do, from game playing to web surfing to handling pictures. Somebody else may find that another OS will fit his needs better.
It's funny that you mentioned ME, because I never had a 'major' problem with ME and I agree that it was pretty darn fast, especially considering the processor speeds on the computers I was dealing with. My other family members dreaded dealing with ME but I think they were more influenced by the bad press rather than personal experience.
Personally, I have always liked XP. From the get go I found it to be much more stable than previous Windows iterations and 8 out of 10 times, if a program locked up, "End Task" would solve the problem. When Vista came out I told my family there was no need to upgrade because I thought XP was so solid. When CompUSA closed in my area, I bought a full copy of Vista Premium at a huge discount, but I have yet to load it onto any computer because XP is just my defacto goto OS. 95% of all programs play nice with XP and the only thing I wish XP could support is DirectX 10.
I realize that Linux is a fun OS to work with and does a pretty good job, but until the majority of software programs (I would say at least 80%) indicate that they are compatible with it, Linux is going to be nothing more than a OS that hangs around the fringes of computing, but will never make a dent in OS penetration.
I'm a big fan of Vista. Haven't had any of the "major" problems anyone else has been talking about so much. However, I'll point out that I'm also trying out Windows 7 RC right now and I think I might be in love.
"I'm a big fan of Vista. Haven't had any of the 'major' problems anyone else has been talking about so much. However, I'll point out that I'm also trying out Windows 7 RC right now and I think I might be in love".
I don't think anyone is surprised by that response from MS's point-man. And after the way MS mishandled the Vista PR campaign, I can see they've, at least partially, learned from their mistakes. (I'm also reminded of a quote about "putting lipstick on a pig", as it doesn't change the underlying facts. And even though I couldn't care less about the Mac' world, those "I'm a Mac" commercials painfully made the point, and are funny as heck!)
I'm guessing you get paid by the post, because you've replied to many threads, but have added nothing useful to the conversation. Not that that's a requirement. But I see that you're attempting to establish a "presence".
As to Win7, except for some minor tinkering around the periphery, for all intents and purposes, it's just Vista SP2. To try and claim it's anything else is just plain hogwash. However, I realize you have a job to do. And from a standpoint of purely self-interest, I really can't complain, as MS has certainly helped us (my business) move a lot more goods and services than we otherwise would have.
But the fact of the matter remains, nobody likes a suck-up, brown-nosing sycophant. So you just might want to give it a rest, especially here in the forum.
"It is not possible to undertake vast projects with half-vast personnel" Red, white, and blue banner seen hanging across aircraft assembly hanger.
Right on, ComtronBob!!! I was wondering who Ron S really was. Does he really work for MS? If so, he really needs to spend some time working on the average user's Vista computer. What a POS.
"I was wondering who Ron S really was. Does he really work for MS?"
If you click over to his User Profile, he has a link to his FaceBook page. I doubt he could get away with saying he was somehow associated with Windows/Microsoft for any length of time, especially from such a high profile place as FaceBook, without the explicit approval of someone in Redmond. The lawyers would be all over him like white on rice.
Problem is, he obviously flunked the *professional shills* course, I mentioned some time ago to Lance, in a legacy thread called "How Do You Think We Review Products?". When he says such things as "and I think I might be in love", it's clear he missed the part about "don't be excessively effusive to avoid rousing suspicion".
But hey, it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. <g>
Edit: I second your POS sentiment. And for anyone that is unclear as to its meaning, it doesn't refer to either Point-Of-Sale or Parent-Over-Shoulder. <g>
Wow, let me put up my flame shield...
It's true, I work with Microsoft (not paid by the post, though - sorry ComtronBob). I'm part of a team that basically goes out and talks with users about their experience. I'm not here to try and talk up Vista or anything and everything I say I'll back up personally - not just because I'm associated with Microsoft.
Just trying to get accustomed to the community here after being really active in other forums, so feel free to reach out if you have a question. I'm not going to claim to know everything (although I do have some pretty good knowledge) but I can always point you to somewhere or someone who can help.
Cheers guys,
Also, I promise not to throw around such words as "suck-up, brown-nosing sycophant" and others without first getting to know you

Low-pay workers would welcome NY minimum wage hike
Posted at: 02/19/2013 6:21 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Workers who earn low wages making hotel beds, ringing up groceries, delivering pizza and tending tables in New York say the proposed hike in the state's minimum wage won't erase all their financial worries.
But it will help.
Lawmakers in Albany are considering a proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to increase the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75 an hour in July. Assembly Democrats proposed making it $9 an hour after President Barack Obama proposed in his State of the Union address last week increasing the federal minimum wage, also $7.25 an hour, to $9 in stages by the end of 2015.
Cuomo has described the current minimum wage as "unlivable." It works out to about $15,000 a year for full-time work.

A bass that will take you back to the Fender heyday of cool creations and legendary looks.
Discover Fender's newest Pawn Shop Series instrument and its first bass guitar, the Reverse Jaguar Electric Bass Guitar. With this sensational new instrument, the Pawn Shop Series once again draws inspiration from the eccentric and innovative Fender creations of the mid-'60s to mid-'70s era, which sometimes found their way to the outside world and into the more esoteric pages of Fender history.
With this adventurous spirit in mind, the Pawn Shop Series Reverse Jaguar Bass was crafted for thoroughly modern sound and quality and presents a creative alchemy of diverse Fender elements. That's the Pawn Shop Reverse Jaguar Bass, which stands Fender's popular Jaguar bass design on its head with features including a "reverse" body and "reverse" headstock. Its brand new pickguard shape will catch the true Fender enthusiast's eye (if the body shape and headstock didn't already). The two enormous Reverse Jaguar humbucking pickups and a streamlined control layout of a single three-way pickup toggle switch and two knobs (volume and tone) deliver high-powered tone shaping, taking you from a smooth rounded clean driving tone to a fuzzed-out, grungy punk onslaught. The bottom line is that you get the sought after Fender bass tone and feel with one of the most distinctive Fender bass guitars ever made.
Includes gig bag.
A bass guitar that never was, but IS now. Order today!

Too many stars in the 'S4' galaxy dull Samsung's brand
In just two short months we've seen the debut of five Samsung Galaxy S4 phones: the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S4 Active, the Galaxy S4 Google Edition, the Galaxy S4 Mini, and the Galaxy S4 Zoom. There are already rumors of a sixth, the 6.3-inch Galaxy S4 Mega.
Making matters more confusing is that the phone specs vary, and some Galaxy S4 phones may offer an experience that's quite different from the original top-rated S4's. From my perspective, Samsung is simply muddying its S4 brand name with too many Galaxy S4s.

The Best Time of Day to Have Sex
It may seem odd at first, but the best time to have sex is in the early morning, specifically between 7 and 9 a.m. Why? It fits best with your natural circadian rhythm or body clock. During this 24-hour cycle our brains are attuned to do some things better than others, depending on the time of day. "The perfect moment for bonding with your spouse is right when you wake up," Rockefeller University neuroscientist Ilia Karatsoreos told Prevention magazine. She explained that the levels of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone," soar when we wake up. And that is why 7 to 9 a.m. is the best time to have sex.

Moon, Thurman, GagaManaging editor The three persons in the title of this column were given front-page treatment in our newspaper recently. I believe I owe our readers some explanation as to why The Korea Times put Moon Dae-sung the plagiarist as the lead story twice; printed the mug shot of USFK Commander Gen. James Thurman under the headline, "Bullying the press," and chose Giorgio Armani's provocative sketch of Lady Gaga, inviting her to speak out regarding the restrictions slapped on her concert. About Moon, the Korean member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), there were two factors to consider. First, it had to do with Moon's human rights. He copied somebody else's thesis to gain a Ph.D. If he didn't run and win in the 19th National Assembly general elections, he might have lived without the controversy. We know much of that controversy is politically motivated by the opposition, who successfully deprived the ruling party of its expected majority status in the 300-seat parliament by making Moon quit. Moon may feel like a scapegoat, like he's being singled out from a group of speeding drivers and got the only ticket. In other words, everybody is aware of how prevalent plagiarism is in academia and the rest of society and the randomness by which Moon is made to suffer embarrassment and sacrifice his career. Secondly, Moon is one of Korea's two incumbent IOC members, a very influential post that could promote our national interest in world sports politics. Thus, we as the English-language newspaper were in a dilemma over how to cover Moon's plight. As a matter of fact, when we broke the story about the IOC's decision to investigate the Moon case, we felt heavy-hearted rather than happy. But we gave it a go, the rationale being that The Korea Times serves the best interests of all our readers by giving the full story, honed and accurate to the best of our ability. That is the principle by which we dealt with the Moon case but while sharing some of the same fear as readers about where it will take us. Regarding Gen. Thurman, we want to say that we don't have a special agenda against American soldiers in Korea. Rather, we appreciate their help in defending our country at the sacrifice of tens of thousands of their young men and women during the 1950-1953 Korean War. Our sincere hope is that the two allies will charter a future maintaining mutual interest. For that, it is imperative that the USFK should take communication with the host country seriously and the latest run-in with The Korea Times illustrates it doesn't. The role of the press is that it reports as it sees it, not catering to somebody's special interests. Ask Ben Franklin. A long time ago he wrote, "This Nurse of Arts, Freedom's Fence; To chain, is Treason against Sense," or look up the U.S. Constitution. Telling the press what to write and denying access when it doesn't follow the order is a direct rebuttal of the American principle on the freedom of press, which is now cherished worldwide. I know that the mistake was made at a working level but the responsibility for that mistake should fall on the highest level. It is also a chance for the general to show how he takes the relationship with the host country at this critical juncture so seriously. Nobody would take the general's apology as an act of surrender or humiliation. Last but not least, using Gaga's sketch for Tuesday's edition was controversial even inside the newsroom. Some argued that a picture should be used rather than the drawing, depicting the Lady wearing a costume with a guitar motif. Never has such a provocative attempt been made before. In a way, I took it as a sort of healthy chemical reaction between conservatism and progressivism. In other words, holding on to the proven idea is not a bad idea but lacks the chance to progress, while striving for a change often comes at the risk of failure. Personally, I want to take the chance and see how far we can go, an urge that I hope will be moderated through dialogue with my staff. As for why I made her story the front-page lead, I think Gaga is an icon that well represents the age in which we live. Beef strips or a blown-up condom are costumes that she wore not just a part of noise-marketing tactics but a declaration of independence by freeing our libido that is tightly bound at the core of our self and giving us a long-awaited, well-deserved vicarious orgasm. Thus, I can't bear her wearing a poker face and keeping mum. One editor jokingly said that her name Gaga sounds like "go away, go away," in Korean and is being made fun of by elementary school students for shooing away children from what they should not see in reference to the government's decision to bar those aged 18 and under from her concert. Her gig involves a great deal of preparation, finances and people but refraining from speaking out for the fear of trouble should not be her element. If she needs a cause to speak out, it is about a big government that acts as if it were the only adult around, telling us what to see and what not to see. "Lady, say freedom!" |


text: Govt showers praise on Art of Living. We found the work done by Art of Living volunteers more than up to the mark. Not only were they sincere and transparent, but they were also very compassionate. They willingly went to difficult areas, visited more than 10,000 households and talked to people about their needs and problems. What was more impressive was that they were quick in action, which is needed at such times.

Document Title: Mammatus cloud (DI01495) Photo by Carlye Calvin Description: Mammatus clouds are pouch-like formations protruding from the underside of cumulonimbus clouds. They are formed by downdrafts in which the air is cooler than the surrounding air. Their name is derived from the Latin word mamma, meaning breast. Though often observed near severe thunderstorms, mammatus do not produce severe weather themselves.

Bestiary, Wrath of the Titans, Part I
In 2010, Wizards of the Coast published Dragon 178, and in it was an article that provided 4th Edition material for the creatures that appeared in the remake of Clash of the Titans. With the release of the sequel, Wrath of the Titans, its time for a new article. Despite near-universal criticism of the movie, most viewers seem to agree that the visual effects are stunning, so these creatures can easily serve as inspiration for a campaign. This article contains the stat blocks for the creatures that appeared in the movie. Part II will provide the artifacts that appeared in the movie: Zeuss Thunderbolt, Hades Pitchfork, Poseidons Trident, and the Spear of Triam, as well as the supreme titan, Kronos.
These creatures are built based in large part on how they were portrayed in the movie. Obviously, the movie took (far too many) liberties with the legends, and at times the legends themselves contradict, so dont expect a perfect match between the creatures here and your personal understanding of their legendary counterparts.
The world of the movie differs from that of D&D, so it was difficult to decide whether to make these challenges paragon or epic. The movie doesn't assume the existence of other planes, so the conflict with the gods themselves could easily be seen as epic in scope. One could also look at the events as affecting the world on a worldwide scale, which is the definition of paragon. Granted, the world is the entire multiverse, so I compromised. These creatures follow a transition from high-paragon to low-epic. The creatures as written will get the most play without requiring DM modification, while requiring epic-shy gamers to dive just barely into those waters.
FYI, a third movie is planned. May Zeus have mercy on our souls.
The Chthonic Cyclopes of Hephaestus
Hephaestus guarded himself with three Cyclopes, a father and his two sons. These giants arent by any means evil, but as brutes, they tend to fire, ready, and aim in that order. They represent a good test of character for PCs that might take the same approach. Sometimes tact is the best weapon you have.
Arcana 37: Chthonic Cyclopes are master blacksmiths that aid Hephaestus in his work. Though not inherently evil, theyre territorial and fiercely protective of their master. They will attack first and ask questions later, but they will certainly bow down before Poseidon's Trident.
The Chthonic Cyclops is the epitome of a brute, charging into battle against any sentient creature daring to intrude upon Hephaestuss island sanctuary. For lower-level characters, they represent an opportunity to negotiate a truce in the heat of battle by way of a skill challenge. For higher-level characters, they represent a good test of character for PCs that might be inclined to immediately attack. If diplomacy fails, theyll never attack someone wielding Poseidons Trident.
Click here for the stat block of the Chthonic Cyclops.
A Chthonic Cyclops will use Hurl Foliage to toss tree trunks at its opponents until it has entered melee range, then switching to Sweeping Club to lay waste to its enemies. They will fight until dead or until an enemy draws Poseidons Trident. Theyll never attack someone wielding Poseidons Trident.
Unlike their better-known, worldly cousins, these creatures have only two heads, both of which are that of wolves that can spew ignited venom. Additionally, their tails end in serpents head that packs a poisonous bite.
Religion 32: Residents of the underworld, these immortal beasts serve Hades as a reminder of the order of things. Their master, god of the Underworld, Hades, relies upon the fear of mortals to feed his divinity, and uses Wolf-Chimeras as a source of that fear. Hades occasionally sends these creatures to the World to random places at random times, leaving its residents in constant state of fear. The resultant carnage can weaken a citys resources, or forever wipe remote villages from the World.
Wolf-Chimeras are used by gods of the underworld to strike the occasional chord of fear. However, they occasionally serve as an initial wave of attack in a war against humanity, serving as a harbinger of much worse things to come.
Click here for the stat block of the Wolf-Chimera.
A Wolf-Chimera begins combat by closing the gap with Ferocious Leap. The Wolf-Chimera will use Flaming Venom whenever available, but will otherwise use double attack to do as much damage as possible.
The Tartaran Minotaur
The greatest of minotaurs guards the greatest of mazes. With a spirit-filled maze, Tarterus, as its domain, this already fearsome creature knows exactly how to strike fear into the hearts of its enemies, then tears them to pieces with his natural weapons.
Religion 35: When Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon commissioned Hephaestus to create the prison-maze of Tartarus, the architect knew that a guardian was needed. Knowing of the affinity minotaurs have for mazes, Hephaestus chose from among their greatest warriors the honor of immortality, all for the small price of eternal damnation. It took very little time for the guardians rage to cross into the realm of insanity, but his insanity didnt stand in the way of complete mastery of his domain. He uses its effects to full advantage.
The great maze of Tartarus houses the souls of those who lived treacherous lives. These souls find little solace in their eternal existence and savor the rare opportunity to feed off the fear of the living that pass through their prison. They accomplish this feat by uncovering the greatest fear from within the minds of their targets and enhancing it. The Tartaran Minotaur takes full advantage of the crippling effect this causes.
Click here for the stat block of the Tartaran Minotaur.
Click here for the stat block of the Souls of the Treacherous.
The Tartaran Minotaur attacks with its bare hands and horns. It attempts to gain surprise -- a feat made relatively easy by its surroundings and at-will invisibility -- and attack an unsuspecting target with its Teleporting Slam. Once isolated with its prey, the Tartaran Minotaur stays hidden the shadows, slipping in and out of invisibility, and doing extra damage from the resulting combat advantage.
Soldier of Kronos
When Kronos formally launches his war against humanity, he will be preceded into battle by the damned souls of long-dead soldiers, some of whom are fused into a single being.
Religion 31: When a great soldier dies, he becomes a leader in Hades army. When a mediocre soldier dies, his life force is joined to another in the hopes that together they will serve competently as foot soldiers in that army. Accordingly, these dual-torso soldiers serve as the first line of attack in the war waged upon residents of the World by the god of the underworld.
Soldiers of Kronos protect Kronos from harm while he remains imprisoned. As Kronos emerges from the underworld to begin his war against humanity, he hurls Soldiers of Kronos onto the battlefield before him, where they weaken his enemys forces by literally slicing through their ranks.

The Soldier of Kronos is thrown onto the battlefield by Kronos. Upon landing, it uses Cinder Strike to burn all in its range, then immediately hurls itself into battle using Rain of Steel. It constantly moves across the battlefield, attacking a different target each round. It focuses on a single target only if no other targets remain.
Stay tuned for part II in which I provide the stat block for Kronos and the artifacts that appear in the movie.

Recent Investigations Question VA's Paid Fiduciary Program for Disabled Veterans
- Categorized in: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), March 2012, News
By Stephen Spotswood
WASHINGTON — Recent investigations conducted by oversight committees have revealed serious flaws in VA's fiduciary system, which, according to legislators and many veterans' advocates, is plagued by fraud and lack of oversight.
The fiduciary system is the process through which an individual is put in charge of a veterans benefit payments when veterans are unable, due to injury or incompetence, to handle their money themselves. Usually, the fiduciary is a family member, but, VA, in some cases, looks for a paid fiduciary or, when the process goes through state court, a court-appointed fiduciary.
Evidence shows that the current system has little oversight of these paid fiduciaries, allowing for numerous cases of fraud. Testimony from family members and veterans advocates also suggest that the system can be cold and impersonal, creating great strain and stress on families already dealing with an injured or ill loved one.
Lack of Oversight Leads to Fraud
VA's fiduciary program currently oversees 95,000 paid and unpaid fiduciaries managing the affairs of 121,000 beneficiaries. Last year, VA awarded $53.5 billion in compensation to veterans, of which $171 million was overseen by fiduciaries.
It was only in April 2011 that VA established an office to specifically oversee the program, the Pension and Fiduciary Service and that was in response to GAO recommendations that VA needed to strengthen oversight of paid fiduciaries.
According to VA, the agency always looks for the least-restrictive fiduciary method for a beneficiary. First, veterans are asked who they want appointed. If that person cannot qualify, VA looks to family members or other family members. If that fails, only as a last resort does VA seek a paid fiduciary.
To qualify, a person must be willing to perform the service and have no criminal history or bad credit. They are paid a maximum of 4% of the benefits they oversee. According to VA, only 8% of the 121,000 veterans who have fiduciaries pay such a commission.
Most of the problems, however, lie with paid fiduciaries. These are not VA employees but professional fiduciaries who make part of their living by overseeing the finances of others.
In December, a fiduciary and a VA field examiner were convicted in Tennessee of embezzling almost $900,000 from 10 veterans' accounts that they oversaw. Staff of the House VA Oversight Committee also found a case where VA arbitrarily removed a veteran's wife as his fiduciary after what VA categorized as 10 years of excellent service, replacing her with a paid fiduciary.
The committee also found evidence of fiduciaries taking 5% of a veteran's entire income, not only funds received for disability compensation.
Also, hired fiduciaries have no minimum education requirement. According to the House investigators, in one case, a single mother who had only one semester of community college and works full-time was made fiduciary for 43 veterans.
During a recent hearing on the subject, legislators asked Tom McLenachen, director of VA's Pension and Fiduciary Service, whether he felt this woman was qualified to serve in that role.
McLenachen would not give his personal opinion but said, "Currently there is nothing that would prohibit her from serving in a fiduciary role."
He also admitted that VA needs to more strongly identify the responsibilities of the fiduciaries as well as the rights of the veterans.
"The fiduciary system is a challenge," McLenachen said. "It's a stovepipe system that exists outside of VA's database."
According to McLenachen, one of the first things he did upon taking his job six months ago was to initiate a complete review of the current regulations. "I think there's a need to update all of those regulations," he said.
Under McLenachen's direction, VA has initiated a complete review and revision of the regulations and procedure manuals.
Have your VA bonuses been cut in recent years and are you concerned about getting merit pay in the future?

We review nine double strollers, priced $299 to $1098.
We found one double stroller to recommend and another worth considering. The rest failed safety tests. We've assessed each double stroller for:
On this page:
If you have twins, or a baby and toddler close in age, a two-seater stroller could be just what you need for getting the kids from A to B. There are a range of options: side-by-side, tandem (with front and rear seats), and single-seaters with a toddler seat added.
You might also try an additional platform (either standing only or with a seat built-in) clipped to the back of the stroller.
We tested two tandems, six side-by-sides and one single seater with toddler seat added, checking their safety, durability and ease of use.
Video: How we test strollers
See how we put our strollers through their paces. Not all of them make it out alive.
As with our latest tests of single-seat strollers, this test uses the 2009 version of the Australian standard AS/NZS 2088, the most current version, though many manufacturers still refer to the previous version from 2000. For this reason these results aren't directly comparable with our previous double stroller test (online in 2010,) which was based on the 2000 version.
However, you don't need to stop using strollers that we've previously recommended based on the older standard. While mandatory requirements are still based on the 2000 version we believe the new 2009 standard improves on safety. We hope that by basing our recommendations on this version, we'll encourage the industry to do likewise.
For more information on Kids travel, see Babies and kids.
Safety Our test is based on the Australian standard for strollers, AS/NZS 2088:2009. Our testers, Antonio Bonacruz and Matthew Tung, check various aspects, including: harness straps that are adjustable and of adequate length; that the child is securely restrained; that folding mechanisms are safe and secure; and that there are no sharp edges or possible entrapment points for fingers or limbs. They also test the stability of the stroller and that the brakes work well. Durability They put the strollers on our "rolling road" rig for 64 hours at a speed of 5km/h, as per the Australian standard. All the strollers are also attached to a machine that continuously simulates the action of mounting a kerb. These tests show whether anything breaks, falls off or stops working properly after regular use. Ease of use They check adjustments, such as reclining functions and the safety harness, and various activities such as loading and unloading the basket, using the brakes and locking the front wheel. They fold and unfold the strollers, push them over rough terrain, up and down stairs and through doorways, and test how easily they fit into the boot of a family car.
1 Aug 2012 | Two of the new models are recommended and one is worth considering – the rest fail either a mandatory requirement or what we consider to be a major safety issue.
15 Aug 2013 | Find out which strollers, including newly tested Baby Jogger, Bugaboo, Childcare and Steelcraft models, meet our exacting safety standards.
4 Jun 2012 | With a baby carrier or sling, you can keep your baby close and secure while leaving your hands free for other tasks.
5 Jul 2012 | Installing a child car restraint correctly is essential for preventing injuries to your child in a crash

The 2002 Burlington Marathon was my first attempt at the distance, so I was anxious to return in 2003. The new course layout for the 2003 race was a bit of a disappointment, however. The start was ill-conceived, as the marathoners had to weave through the 'social' hoards of half-marathoners, who had a 5-minute head start. I understand the economics of the double loop concept, but the crazy spin round the block between the main loops, while it may have been good for spectators, created unnecessary confusion for participants. I'll be checking the course layout carefully before registering for this event again.
This race challenges the Toronto races. The course, even though a double loop, is run through residential Burlington, and partly by Lake Ontario. It's a fast, flat course. Where they could improve is by posting the results the same day. However, overall, one of the best in Ontario.
I ran the 1/2 last year and was excited to do their full. The pasta dinner was excellent. The volunteers were wonderful. The post-race party with music, BBQ, and free beer was something to be proud of for the organizers. Even the host hotel treated the runners very well, with free breakfast and a possible late checkout. However, there were maybe three bands tops on the course. The course was a complete disaster. It had double markings for the 1/2 and the full, and two loops with about a 1/2 mile double loop at the halfway point. Very confusing. I ran up to one runner who asked how many times he had to do the loop; he was on his third. Seeing the double markings for the two loops and the 1/2, and even for the 5K, was confusing and heartbreaking (after running for about 3 hours I saw a 15K marker - I cried). So much of this event is world-class, but if the organizers don't repair the course I won't run it again.
This was my first R&R Burlington. I was disappointed by the state of chaos at the start line(s) and separation of half- from full marathoners: double kilometer markers added even more confusion. There were two double loops for full marathoners - please, never again! On the bright side - I observed very efficient contribution from volunteers along the course, including these, who directed and re-directed disoriented runners near the park. The finish line and everything beyond was excellent.
Most aspects of the race were either very good or very bad. Good points: The pasta dinner was very nice, with good food in a nice setting, and with some pretty good speakers. After-race amenities were very good, with a free cookout, free beer, and a sufficient number of massage volunteers. Bad points: The marathon and half-marathon started at different points on the same road, and it was confusing knowing where to start. The timer was still placing the chip mats on the road at the starting point one or two minutes after the race should have started, confusing double-loop course (each loop consists of two loops, which run concurrently for about 1/4 mile), and the course itself wasn't very scenic (it provided only rare glimpses of the lake). Parts of the course were a little busy with other runners (on an out-and-back portion) and cars, and the medal was a bit chintzy.
The course is well suited for first-time marathoners. However, I was disappointed at the lack of communication at the start and at the park loop. In addition, there weren't that many bands on the route to entertain the runners. Finally, hopefully the organizers will spend a bit more on the medeal next year.
I did this last year and it went well, but this year the organization was terrible: from parking issues to clock issues to marker issues, the list goes on and on. At the last minute people were told to move their cars from Lassalle Park Blvd. The markers were not clearly indicated for the marathon and 1/2 marathon, and at the end of the 1/2 marathon the clock was set for the marathoners (at 1:30-ish)... what happened? Last year was much better. Also why change the course to a double loop when the old one was fine?? I would do it again but was terribly disappointed with the organization - it must improve.
Course is perfect for setting a PB, which I did in the 1/2 marathon. Not a lot of spectators but the route is flat and fast as advertised, good water stations and a lovely town to run through. The music wasn't as prevalent as I had expected but overall a great race. Highly reccomend it.
I have run 20 marathons, from Boston and New York to many local small ones. This was the most FUN I have had in ANY marathon. The organization was excellent, the course was well monitored; and the best part was that I'm from the U.S. where we deal in miles, temperature in fahrenheit, and wind in mph. I woke up in the morning, turned on the weather channel (marathoners are paranoid about that), only to find out it would be 11 degrees, 40kph wind gusts, and the course was measured in kilometers--what a mind game--IT WAS GREAT!!!
I ran this in 2000 and was delightfully surprised. The organizers and regulars were very friendly and gave a nice welcome to the only runner from south of the Mason-Dixon line. The pasta party was a great kickoff. The hospitality continued through the race start with a nice sized but manageable crowd (several hundred). A couple of small hills through a lakeside neighborhood got the heart pumping in the first mile and then it leveled out for the other 25.2. There was no car traffic to notice. Small groups of spectators were quite encouraging. Some in the later neighborhoods had tables set up at the end of their driveways with oranges and sport drinks for us. Not race voluteers even, just friendly neighbors. Which really was the feel of the whole event, friendly neighbors welcoming newcomers to their town. I hooked up with the 'race bunny' (pink fuzzy ears, more attractive on the pretty young miss running my pace than on some of the faster guys, but very easy to see and follow) at a 10.30 pace and ran a PR of 4:24, while she went back to catch up some new friends who had dropped off a bit. She was a great combination of coach, cheerleader, running companion and guide to a new city while we chatted away those middle miles. The finish line arrived just soon enough for my glycogen starved body. The hamburgers off the grill were my unhealthy choice after the race, but plenty of other goodies were available at the sparkling white 19th century park pavilion where we started and finished. My afternoon was spent walking off the tight leg muscles in Toronto by the lakeside in a neat little shopping district. The next morning Niagra Falls was a must see on the way back to the Buffalo airport and my return to the real world of teenagers in a high school classroom. These two days were a great refreshment. I recommend the people of Burlington, Ontario and their marathon to anyone looking for a couple of days in a nice, friendly new neighborhood.

He's in the hospital as of this evening. We have spoken a couple of times, he said he woke up fine but began to feel ill shortly thereafter. Couldn't get off the head began to get weak and dizzy. He's getting an IV for dehydration now pending blood work and a stool culture. If he recovers quickly enough and gets the Doc's ok, he's back on the boat - if not, he's coming home.
He's not real happy at the moment. Thankfully they were close enough to shore to run him in.
