Succeeding his father in 1908, Linlithgow served on the Western Front in World War I, and then served in various minor roles in the Conservative governments of the 1920s and 30s, including that of Chairman of the Royal Commission on Agriculture in India and of the select committee on Indian constitutional reform.

One 'really useful feature' that any change should allow for is process affinities (ie tying a process to a physical cpu). You'll also notice that the current scheduler recalculates the priority of every process on every tick. This a waste of cpu (and cache line entries). The priorites of non-runnable processes can be changed when they become runnable - using the elapsd time since the last calculation. David -- David Laight: firstname.lastname@example.com

CIOs should reimagine IT Services to sustain development as well as affordable benefit.
As business focus on development, they continue to be attentive regarding expenses as well as functional effectiveness. Development needs IT to increase its tactical value to business instead of concentrate on shipment of common service strategies. Incorporated with proceeded limited IT spending plans, these aspects ask for CIOs to take part in "innovative devastation"– taking exactly what they have currently as well as reimagining it to develop IT's future.
Innovative damage creates brand-new sources by taking ap`art as well as rerouting existing ones. In IT, this suggests using brand-new modern technologies and also techniques in manner ins which reroute or free sources to supply higher technology as well as worth. Framework modern technologies such as virtualization as well as cloud computer make it possible for CIOs to produce sources to sustain advancement, development as well as approach.
To reimagine IT, a CIO starts with a brand-new fertilization of the IT company and also its payment to the business. The suggestion of reimagining originates from the show business, whose imaginative minds frequently take an acquainted tale and also assume, suppose we …? With practically half of CIOs intending to relocate most of their applications as well as framework to the darken the following 4 years, CIOs have a possibility to reimagine IT by checking out present sources and also asking just what would certainly be feasible if they were released in various other means.

When people are looking for ways to save money, one of the first suggestions they usually come across is to "cut cable." The cost of traditional cable or satellite television continues to rise. Eliminating this monthly bill can have a considerable impact on your finances. However, you will probably still want to enjoy watching some of your favorite entertaining programs. Fortunately, there are many options available to help you save money while still being able to watch television.
1. Netflix
Netflix was one of the first online streaming media companies. It was originally started as a DVD-by-mail business. You can still receive DVD's from them in the mail. However, the main draw of Netflix is the unlimited, instant streaming of a large variety of shows and movies for a monthly subscription fee (currently, $7.99, $9.99, or $11.99 depending on the plan). You can watch Netflix on your computer or smartphone. Also, there are many different devices that can be used to access Netflix on your television, including gaming systems like Xbox and PlayStation.
Netflix has been producing more and more original content, including movies and television shows. Some popular series that you can only watch on this platform include House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, and Stranger Things. The Ridiculous 6, a comedy starring Adam Sandler, is also only available on Netflix.
2. Hulu
Hulu launched in 2008 and has been one of the main competitors of Netflix. They have a long-standing relationship with Disney, which gives subscribers special access to shows and movies that you can't find on other streaming platforms. Like Netflix, they also release their own, original productions.
Hulu tends to have more television shows than movies. It is not compatible with as many devices for streaming to your television. Hulu's basic plan ($5.99) is cheaper than Netflix, but subjects you to some commercials. If you upgrade, for an increased monthly fee ($11.99), you can access commercial-free viewing.
3. Apple TV
Apple TV is a digital media player. It attaches to your television to provide internet streaming entertainment, comes with a remote control, and works with Siri to react to voice commands. There is no monthly fee to use Apple TV. One special feature of this device is that it can be used to access everything in your iTunes account. Purchased television shows can be watched over and over again, on multiple devices. You can also access free entertainment through various apps. Finally, Apple TV can be used to stream entertainment from other providers, like Netflix and Hulu.
4. YouTube
There are millions of videos to watch on YouTube; literally, something for everyone. These videos are always available for free on smartphones or your computer. Or, you can purchase a streaming device to send the videos to your television.
YouTube Red was recently introduced as a new option in the world of online streaming entertainment. The monthly subscription fee provides you with ad-free videos and allows downloading of videos for watching offline. It also provides access to Google Play music and exclusive YouTube Original shows.
5. HBO Now
If any of your favorite shows are on HBO, this streaming service is one of the only ways that you can legally watch them without a cable subscription. There are many movies available on HBO Now, including feature films that were recently playing in theaters and movies from decades ago. HBO has distribution rights to movies from 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Pictures. All original HBO series are available to stream, on a permanent basis.
HBO Now works with your computer, tablet, and smartphone, or it can be streamed to your television. The current subscription pricing is $14.99 per month on the HBO Now website.
6. Amazon
Amazon provides a couple of different options for television streaming. They have the Amazon Fire Stick or Amazon Fire TV. Both of these devices attach to your television, provide internet streaming services, and come with a remote control.
Amazon streaming will work with paid subscription sites like Hulu and Netflix. In addition, these devices allow you to download a variety of different apps to your television. There are many free options, including news, sports, children's, and entertainment video apps.
If you are a frequent purchaser of products online, you may want to consider a subscription to Amazon Prime. This membership provides free two-day shipping on orders and special pricing on certain items. In addition, it provides you with access to Amazon's database of on-demand entertainment. The selection of things to watch is less as compared to other providers, but you have the added benefits of shipping and can download one free book every month.
7. Sling TV
Sling TV is a relatively new option for streaming entertainment. The monthly fee is higher than its predecessors ($20 – $40), but still easily beats the cost of cable television. This service provides unlimited access to live streams of popular channels including TNT, TBS, Disney Channel, Lifetime, CNN, HGTV, Comedy Central, and ESPN. It is not "on-demand," where you watch what you want, when you want. However, Sling TV provides access to shows that are not available on the other platforms. If sporting events are a dealbreaker for cutting cable, Sling TV may be the solution for you.
Sling TV has on-demand movies, although you have to pay a separate rental fee for each one that you watch. There are add-on options for additional channel packages, and for HBO.
Library [Bonus Idea]
If you're looking for ways to really save money, try using the library as your source for entertainment. They have DVD's that you can borrow for free. In addition, more and more libraries are implementing online access to electronic materials.
The days of expensive cable or satellite television may be numbered with all of the different alternatives that continue to increase and expand. Switching to a streaming service provider should be a fairly painless experience that will keep you supplied with entertaining television while saving you money. Even subscribing to two different services is still likely to be cheaper than what you normally pay the cable company. It's just a matter of figuring out what you really want to watch, instead of worrying about having as many channels as possible.
Do you have a favorite online streaming service? If so, let us know about it in the comments.

Tutorials/The Void
|This page is a work in progress.
Please help in the creation of this article by expanding or improving this page.
The talk page may contain suggestions.
This page lists ways of reaching the void.
Note: The page only considers the space above the Nether as the void due to being obstructed by bedrock, like the void below each dimension.
- Teleport below the layer 0 using
/tp <player> ~ -2 ~*.
- Make a hole using
/fill ~ 0 ~ ~ ~ ~ air*.
- Spawn an explosive entity powerful enough to break bedrock (e.g. spawning a Ghast fireball using
/summon tnt ~ ~ ~ {ExplosionPower:5000}), and break bedrock with it.(Note: Entities, redstone, and block updates will cease while the blast loads)
The Nether's top[edit]
- Teleport above the layer 127 using
/tp <player> ~ 130 ~*.
- Make a hole using
/fill ~ ~ ~ ~ 128 ~ air*.
* Can be also done with map editors.
-The top of the Nether is a flat bedrock surface.
There is no way to get to the void in the Overworld or the Nether (except a bug), as the bedrock includes a layer with no holes (except an error or playing LAN Server <With Cheats>). However, there are a few ways to get to the void through the End:
- Jump off the island.
- Dig your way through the bottom of the End.
- Get knocked off the island by the ender dragon or by an angry enderman, or knocked while playing PVP at the end.
You can also get on the top of the Nether thanks to an ender pearl bug (you need at least 2 ender pearls or more):
- Dig a hole up to the bedrock;
- Find three bedrock blocks in a line at height 127, the highest layer of bedrock (you can press F3, point to the bedrock and check the second number on the "Looking at" line). The first block must have two air blocks below it: the player needs to go there. The second and the third bedrock blocks must have an air block below them and another bedrock block below the air;
- Teleport with an ender pearl below the third block: you will suffocate in the bedrock;
- Jump and throw an ender pearl on the top of the Nether: you arrived.
- If using a Superflat map without bedrock layers, one can mine through the bottom and reach the void.
- If using the "the void" preset, either mine through the starting platform or jump off the side of the platform.
Getting out of the Nether's top in Survival[edit]
- Store items in an ender chest, then kill your character. As long as there is another ender chest placed (and all items are stored), no items are lost. However, the player should keep in mind that they will lose their experience if they do this.
- Build a portal on the Nether's top and go through it. But you could die of fall damage because you're really high up.

We'll be back to regularly scheduled bloggling shortly. I PROMISE this time y'all, its just that school has been
smothering me taking over my life. I AM taking more classes than a sane person would during the summer, but to go on the timeline in my head, I have to. I should hopefully get back here more often though if these teachers would stop houning me with homework and studying.
Today's post is for a giveaway. A photography giveaway, that I couldn't pass up. I am not a professional, by all means, but maybe after winning this, I could be. I've always loved having a camera in my hands, but the creativity, skill and talent has always been nonexistent. I'm working to change that on my own, but with help? It could happen faster.
Here's the link to it with all the gory details, but please? For me? Don't enter it. My chances are already far too bleak 🙂 Instead, I think you should spam their email saying it'd be in their best interest to pick me to win.

A year or so ago I purchased this medal hanger on etsy. The color and saying was really ugly but it was on clearance and shipping from the US so the cheaper the better since shipping costs were so high. I kept it as is for awhile before painting it hot pink and using stickers from Michaels, put on the saying "I just felt like running" from Forest Gump on it. It sat like that a long time but soon the little clips couldn't hold my race bibs so I needed an alternative display unit.
It looks very boring and tiny on this giant space so I needed something big and maybe kinda bold.
I bought this on one of the Facebook groups I belong to for $3. The color was not great but the size was. I originally painted it hot pink before we left for Mexico but I hated it. The pink looked awful on it.
I ended up painting it white which I liked until I hung it up since it blends in with the walls. I have no interest in repainting it for a third time so it is staying like this.
Then I went to Walmart to buy a towel holder and I needed Greg to install it. I am not good at making things even as you have seen previously.
And here is my new medal display. I have more bibs somewhere and another wristband to hang up but I am really happy with how it turned out. There is lots of room for more bibs and medals too!!
Thank you pinterest for this success!!

Either $747.28 or $622.73 depending on how the bonus works on tier credits.
That's all I need to hit platinum on my M life status. A pittance by Vegas standards. But it has to be achieved by October 1st.
So I'm heading to Vegas this weekend to reach that goal. Clearly I'm a sucker for loyalty programs. I get a 10% better point bonus, taxi and valet priority, and an extra 5% off at retail shops I buy water and snacks at. Oh, and probably better deals on hotel rooms for future trips.
Just checked - also turndown service! (which I've had the past couple trips on Gold, but maybe that was the tip at the front desk). Priority access to cabanas and clubs I don't frequent!
But the card is a different colour, and that taxi thing and better deals are the real appeal. After all, I'll be back in December and February, so that's when this pays off.
Anyway, off to Vegas this weekend on a flight paid with other points. The hotel rooms pretty much cover the tier points I need (due to some big-ass music festival this weekend driving up the prices), but I'll do a dinner or two in MGM properties to make sure... plus the gambling.
Solo trip. But it helps to have friends there so I don't seem too degenerate. I just have to make sure I actually set some stuff up with them. I'm also curious how the festival (which has some pretty huge names) will affect The Strip. Massive crowds usually means expensive tables and busy poker rooms.
But I'm not even sure how much gambling I'll see. I'll likely play in a tournament or two, and maybe play bad poker at cheap tables. I can't see me not rolling some dice and hitting the slots as I wander around, but I can't say I have a huge gambling urge this time around. I suppose that's generally a good thing.
No, I think I'm most looking forward to seeing a few friends and generally taking it easy. I'll keep the planning to a minimum and try to clear my head. Maybe get into the right mindset for my even less-planned birthday the following weekend. After all, it's a completely non-number one. No 5's or 0's. No significant milestones of life, just another tick on the calendar. Hell, nothing even expires this year. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Who the hell goes to Vegas to relax? This guy apparently, and I don't even know where the pool is.

Matt Martin taking 'big step' with Maple Leafs
Left wing Matt Martin signed a four-year, $10 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday and said he is looking forward to joining one of the most storied franchises in the NHL.
Martin, 27, spent his first seven NHL seasons with the New York Islanders after being picked in the fifth round (No. 148) of the 2008 NHL Draft. He admitted the decision to leave New York wasn't easy, and dealing with unrestricted free agency for the first time struck a few nerves.

What do Tom Fontana, Murphy Brown, and Chardonnay all have in common? Buffalo State College of course! This fall's "Getting to Know You", sponsored by WNYLA, is taking place at Buffalo State College this year.
The first part of the tour will be turned over to Daniel DiLandro, we will be taken on a tour of Buffalo State College's most illustrious alumni's works. Tom Fontana, a 1973 graduate and the award-winning writer and producer of three acclaimed television series: "St. Elsewhere", "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "Oz", has placed many of his works in Buffalo State College's archival collection. There will also be a tour of Diane English, class of 1974's works as well, she is best known for the television series Murphy Brown. Time permitting there may be other things for us to see.
The second part of the tour at Buffalo State College involves Campus House, one the five original buildings, that was once used to house the presidents of the college. Campus house has been renovated into a state of the art teaching lab for the hospitality and touring department of Buffalo State. Much of the building's architectural integrity still remains. Here we can sit by a cozy fire, and sip some of the best wines they have to offer, while nibbling on fruit and cheeses, black bean and goat cheese quesadillas and other tempting offerings.
Buffalo State College is a real gem in the autumn with an assortment of over 1700 trees, with over 100 varieties adorning the walkways of the campus, not to mention the view of Hoyt Lake and Delaware Park right across the street from us. If you are really feeling adventurous, make plans to stay in the neighborhood after the tours and benefit from being within walking distance to the Elmwood Village where you will find art galleries, boutiques, bars, fine dining, bar food, amazing architecture from both Wright and Olmstead, not to mention the newly remodeled Pano's restaurant.
Cost for all this is only $15.00 and limited to 30 registrants. Register at www.wnylrc.org . Make plans to join us in this unique setting for a memorable evening.

One evening I had dinner with a friend whom I had not seen for many years. There was a lot of catching-up to do in the first minutes of our conversation.
As our visit began to move into more serious conversation, he asked, "How's your church doing? I am anxious to see your campus. From your parish paper, I can see the attendance continues to increase, and it sounds like you are enjoying your work."
"Yes," I replied. "My ministry has been very rewarding. If I had another life on this earth to live, I would be a parish pastor. I am always anxious to go to work in the morning, and even though the pension board and social security tell me that I can retire, this does not tempt me at all."
My friend, who had been much more financially successful than I had been, responded, "You don't know how fortunate you are. I wish that I could make the same statement."
All of this talk about the church led me to ask, "How are things going at the church where you are a member?"
"I seldom attend church," he replied.
"What happened?" I asked. "You used to be very active in the congregation."
"That's probably where the problem started. I had too much religion as a kid. Every time the church door was open, our family was there. I had enough of the church to last me for the rest of my life.
But that wasn't all. Religion made our family's life so abnormal. We had a hundred and one silly laws that supposedly controlled us. For example, mother tried to prevent me from going to my high school junior-senior prom because there would be dancing, and that could lead to adultery. That did it for me. I simply announced in strong language that I was going to the prom. I had already asked a girl to go with me, and nobody was going to stop me. Mother was crushed; dad didn't know what to do. However, they must have had second thoughts, because I went to the prom and they even let me use the family car."
Seeing how emotional he was, I asked him, "What is your relationship with God?"
"Now that's a different question," he answered. "Believe, me, I am not an atheist. I believe there is a God."
"If you should die tonight, do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?" I asked feeling that our relationship was good enough that I could be that personal.
His answer was very clear. There were tears in his eyes. "No, I am sure that if I died tonight, I would go to hell. Look at my life. I don't go to church. My language, even in front of my children, is not always the best. I do some drinking. I have not always been fair to my wife and kids. I gave them money, when what they really wanted was my time. I can't recall ever having a devotion with my family. Certainly they have never heard me pray. In fact, I don't even know how to pray any more."
"What do you believe about Christ?" I asked.
"Frankly, I don't give him much thought. I still remember what they taught me about the faith when I was a teenager. After high school there were tough years in the service during World War II. Then I came home and went to college. That caused me to question what we had been taught in church."
We changed the subject and tried to enjoy the rest of the evening, but both of us knew that the conversation had been pretty depressing. As we were leaving the restaurant, he said to me, "Thanks for taking the time to be concerned about my spiritual life. I am not as far away from the faith as you might think. But one thing I cannot understand, except for my wife, you are the only person who has ever talked to me about why I don't gp to church with my family, to say nothing about my relationship with Christ. Why is that? Don't they care?
I squeezed his hand and said, "That's just the way we act all too often in our congregations."
Now let me give you another picture of a home that has had its low moments, but is having some happy times now.
Unlike the first home I described to you, this family, by no stretch of the imagination, could be called an overly pious place. The family was not burdened with a lot of man-made rules. However, the parents knew what the Gospel was all about. The children were continually told that Christ was their Savior, and he would forgive their sins if they trusted him. They attended church faithfully, confirmation was a part of the family agenda, and neither parent was ashamed to share their faith with their children.
As they left home to attend a state university, where there would be plenty of temptation, they knew their sons and daughters would enjoy the excitement of university life. The church had a low priority in their young lives, and they drifted away from the faith. Or did they?
Now they are settled in their professions and are doing well. Today the parents are rejoicing, for they see the power of the Gospel, which is bringing their children into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They hear a clear testimony from two of their children regarding their relationship with Christ. What is happening? The Gospel that they had heard repeatedly in church and home is being used by the Holy Spirit to bring the back to their childhood faith.
The parents sent them off with a clear intellectual knowledge of God's love in Christ, and it bore fruit in their lives.
Turning to our text, we meet a heavy-hearted apostle. Paul was struggling with his spiritual children in the Galatian congregation. He had taught them that salvation was received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Here are his words: "You are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ." It was He who could set them free from their guilt and bring them into a personal relationship with their Heavenly Father. In Christ they became heirs of a mighty inheritance. In Christ, they came to God addressing him as Abba Father. He was a loving God who wanted the best for his children.
But then along came the Judaizers with a religion that majored in the law. "If you want God's favor, you must be obedient to the law." It placed a heavy burden on these Galatians, and they did not know where they stood in relation to God. God had become a burden. They were slaves to a system. Paul became emotional in seeing these people swap the Gospel for the Law, which could only put them in bondage."
This was what my friend, whom I mention in this sermon, had experienced in his early years. He did not rebel to the Gospel. I am sure that he loved to sing "Jesus Loves Me" and still does. This message established a relationship between Jesus and the person. What put a heavy burden around his neck was being told that Jesus was watching every move he made, and the Lord would be angry if he broke the commandments. The young man did not want to be disobedient, but he was helpless. Fear was also being created in his heart when the Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What would you do if Jesus came and found you at a movie?"
It was finally too much for my friend. He left home as a young man to enter the military with a religion of laws, and it brought him no comfort. How different it could have been if the words from Jesus Ð "I am with you always" Ð had spoken to his soul when in the heat of battle.
As teachers of the young, we need to make sure that they leave home with the Gospel. If they should decide to set aside the good news of Christ and his love for a while, the day will come when they will return to their Savior. If our souls are immersed in God's love, especially as young people, we will not be able to stay away from him for a long period of time. What is even more thrilling is to observe how many of our people do not walk away from Jesus. Look around in your worship service and listen to them sing, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" or "There is a Redeemer." Many of these people are drawn to the church because their hearts long to hear the Gospel.
That takes us back to the second story at the beginning of this sermon. This family is rejoicing as they see their children, who left home knowing the Gospel, return to the faith. Years had gone by, and they saw that life without Jesus is lacking peace, comfort, and direction.
Paul was trying to help the Galatians separate the Law from the Gospel. Surely the law was God's Word, too. It would show them how helpless they were to live according to God's will. But when the Law had done its work and brought them to Christ, Paul wanted his people in Galatia to hear that God forgives, and each day they can start over. That's grace.
If you had too much religion as a young person, why not take another look at Christianity. You will find that the Christian faith's message centers in Christ, who daily forgives all of your sins and gives you the strength and direction to become the kind of person you want to be. In Christ, you can have the assurance of your salvation.
Too much religion! Maybe! But never too much of God's grace in Jesus Christ, and that is what Christianity is all about.

Mark Mangold Interview at Reno Pylon Racing School – from National Air Race Podcast
I had a fun time interviewing Airline Pilot and Red Bull Racing Champion, Mark Mangold at the Reno Pylon Racing School (PRS) which is held each June prior to the official start of the Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show held in September.
I spoke with Pilot Mike Mangold about the changes made to the race course which decreased in size from 8.4 miles to 8.1 miles but increased the safety radius margins. Mike explains that another advantage of the course modification is seeing the pylons better. With jet speeds close to 500mph, pilots need to look about 1000 feet ahead to establish their flight line; with the pylons more visible, the 1-1/2 seconds it takes to fly 1000 feet becomes slightly easier… ok now, that's fast!
You can see part of my interview with Mike Mangold starting at 1:10 of the youtube video which has commentaries and interviews of other race pilots who participated in PRS:
See Dennis Buehn, Race 43 T-6, Midnight Miss III; Mark Pracy, Jet Class Pilot, Race 66; Pete Zaccagnino, Sport & Jet Racer/Instructor for Rookies; Rob Sandberg – Rookie Pilot, Race 42, Honest Entry, SNJ-4; Mike Mangold, – Jet Racer, Race 12, Euro Burner; David Sterling – Sport Racer, Race8, flying a Lancair Legacy; Kevin Eldridge – Sport Racer, Race 42, Relentless; Lee Behel – Sport Racer, Race 5, Breathless, John Parker – Pilot, Race 352, Blue Thunder II; and Terri Adams – Pilot and T-6 Rookie (look for my video short taken after the Sunday Races – this was one happy pilot!).
Thrill Master, Sean D. Tucker & Legendary Test Pilot, Bob Hoover Present Heritage Awards at the Reno Races 2012
Many Legends, History Makers, Thrill Masters, Record Setters, and Aviation Preservationists in Attendance to Present the NAHI 2012 Awards at the Reno Races!
The Aviation Heritage awards were lively, fun and I'm sure exciting for the recipients of the prestigious awards, especially the inaugural recipient of the newly named Neil A. Armstrong National Aviation Heritage Invitational Trophy which was presented to Duncan Cameron of Lebanon TN for his, and Tom Westfall's wonderful restoration of a 1944 OY-1 Consolidated Vultee Stinson.
It was a privilege and honor to speak with the many Aviation Legends and Enshrinees whose individual passion for aviation has changed history and created many wonderful things and events we enjoy. Such as the preservation of Vintage Aircraft; the Reno Races; the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine; the never-before-flown aircraft tested for design performance which ensured they could be flown safely by thousands of service men and women; the easy means by which we choose a flight, board and land at our destination in comfort; the airmen who flew dangerous missions to safeguard the lives our bombers, troops on the front lines, our country and engaged in air to air dog fights; those who have flown around the world without stopping, or refueling; those who make airplanes float in air, perform unimaginable maneuvers with grace, and thrill a crowd…
Here are just a few of the VIP's in attendance who have changed the course of our aviation history and are, well, important, inspirational and legends – all of whom honored the man who first walked on the moon.

Battle for the Keep on the Borderlands
Manning the Keep on the Borderlands are 244 combat-capable individuals. Broken down, this force is comprised of 52 Heavy Infantry, 120 heavy infantry who are also equipped with bows & crossbows, 24 light infantry, 12 heavy cavalry, 18 medium cavalry, and 18 Auxilia/militia (individuals who are capable of combat & possess equipment, though are not part of the fortress's standard 'fighting force', including a low-level mage). Among these 244, there are 8 commanders, 3 ranking clerics, and an elf, who, by virtue of their equipment, I've included in the total of Heavy Infantry.
An excursion to the Caves with 2/3s of this would be a fighting force of 162.
Let's figure the makeup of this group:
All 30 cavalry
80 bowmen
5 commanders (1 captain, 3 Corporals, 1 Sergeant)
2 Clerics (The Curate & Priest)
28 Hvy Inf
18 Lt Inf
1 Elf
The total fighting force of the Caves of chaos consists of:
262 Evil Light Inf (59 kobolds + 1 chief, 34 orcs + 1 chief, 41 goblins, 29 hobgoblins, 13 bugbears, 20 gnolls, 16 zombies, 32 skeletons)
70 Evil Heavy Inf (1 orc chief, 1 goblin chief, 9 hobgoblins + 1 chief, 9 bugbears + 1 chief, 13 gnolls + 1 chief, 23 zombies, 9 evil priests, 1 minotaur, 1 ogre)
15 Evil Bowmen (various races)
There are 11 Entrances/Bolt-holes in the valley. Because of the number of entrances, it would be difficult to adequately cover any single hole or group of holes if a concentrated attack were made. On the other hand, any group attacking from a hole that was being covered by archers would incur a good deal of injuries.
The "Keep" forces, though outnumbered in terms of both men and hit dice, have the massive advantage of firepower, with 80 bowmen to the cave's 15. Additionally, these bowmen aren't light archers; they're heavy infantry who happen to have bows & crossbows. In the scenario I described, the Castellan stays back at the keep, but if he came along, he adds a major asset to the Keep's force, in that, as a F6, he is stronger than either the Minotaur or Ogre.
There are a few strategies the Keep forces could employ. They do not have the numbers to lay an effective siege; without their full number available to repel an all-out assault from a particular entrance, the Keep forces could quickly be routed. Careful planning might allow for a few entrances to be temporarily blocked with fire or debris, but the number of entrances makes 'smoking out' the cave's inhabitants untenable, at least for a force the size that the keep could field.
Rather than have teams cover each entrance, the Keep forces might setup a "zone defense" around the valley.
North: 30 bowmen, 4 lt. inf. 6 Hvy. Inf. 6 Med Cav, 6 Hvy Cav
West: 20 bowmen, 10 lt. inf., 4 Hvy Inf., 6 Med Cav
South: 30 bowmen, 4 lt. inf., 6 Hvy. Inf. 6 Med Cav, 6 Hvy Cav
Strike Team: 10 Hvy Inf (5 Acolytes, 5 Men at Arms), The Curate (C5), a Captain (F3), and Elf (E3).
The three "zone" forces would be covering the entrances on each side of the valley, with the Western force (which is covering the fewest entrances) able to move quickly to respond to any sudden foray from the Caves. The valley is too steep for cavalry to effectively charge anything coming out of the caves, but they would be able to speedily move to fill in a defensive gap should one arise, and pursue any eastward fleeing troops.
The strike team would act as the stick to poke the hornet's nest. They would not go particularly deep into the cave, engaging only in probing attacks. The strike team would shortly be followed by a group of 4 lt. and 4 hvy. infantry to the mouth of the cave. Their purpose would be securing the strike team's escape route, assisting with extraction and alerting the rest of the Keep's forces to any sudden change in the tactical situation. Unlike a heroic party, set on exploration, plunder, and systematic clearing of the cave, the strike team's objective is to draw out the demi-humans into open combat. The idea is that the cave's inhabitants would not be able to effectively respond to a succession of short attacks without entering into a full, fortress-wide defensive stance, or bring a greater force to bear against the Curate's shock troops, which would lead the counter attackers into an ambush.
If the cave assumes a defensive stance, it will focus on dealing with the Curate's troops. After meeting resistance, the Curate withdraws and attacks another entrance. The inhabitants may think they are under attack from a larger force, allowing the Keep to lay a more effective siege. Or, if they understand that there is only one group of troops they are preparing against cave-wide, the continual shifting of resources will hamper the Cave's ability to mount a defense against the Keep's full force. As needed, fresh troops can be supplied to the strike team from the Zones, which will serve to create an illusion to the group's "invincibility", necessitating larger concentrations of demi-human forces within the caves. I figure with the whole caves mobilized, non-combatants in danger from intruders, eventually something has to give.
This could be a long process; the strike team probably won't be working 8-12 hour days, but rather 3-4, returning to a "zone" for rest and resupply before diving into another cave. Additionally, this team's secondary role would be setting fire to foliage near the cave entrances, particularly H, A, G and E.
In a pitched battle, with both sides out on the open field, the fight would be fairly evenly matched. The main reason for this, of course, is the superiority of ranged weapons, giving the Keep's forces maybe 2-3 rounds of missile combat prior to the start of melee. It would be easier to judge if I'd also taken into account the total Hit Dice for each side. Still, I have to give the edge to the Cave's forces. Sure, they have a lot of 1/2 HD Kobolds, but they've got a lot of 2-4 HD monsters, too. If the Cave's forces make their morale checks after suffering about 80 or so HD of losses to arrow fire, things could get a bit dicey. Though they're well equipped, just about all of the Keep's troops are F1.
This "open battle" scenario also assumes that the Caves have left behind only non-combatants. If, like the Keep's forces, they only fielded 2/3s of their force (just over 200 troops), the Caves would still significantly outnumber the keep's troops. How well the Keeps archers performed would make or break the outcome for either side.
Of course, neither side in the Borderlands has an incentive to face the other on an open field. This does not mean, however, that the situation is the strategic stalemate that it at first appears to be. Unlike any attempts to strike against the Caves, an attack against the keep would be doomed to failure. The forces of Chaos are the real underdogs here. Again, the preponderance of archers and presence of both ballistae and mini-catapults makes an attack on the Keep untenable. Unless an outside force of large numbers nowhere found within the module appears out of the east, the Keep on the Borderlands is here to stay, and it is the Caves whose days are numbered. That's not to argue that the Caves' presence does not make the borderlands unsafe for those travelling east outside the Keep, merely that its threat is overstated. The Caves pose no real threat to the Keep or any lands to the west of the keep.
This makes the Keep a key strategic importance, however. The Keep somehow falling to the forces of Chaos would be a far more significant shift in strategic balance than the cleansing of the Caves. The Caves, if anything, are a civilian target, more a town than a fortress. Its presence does not exert the same influence as the Keep. Were there instead a small castle inhabited by these demihumans, there would be a bit more parity in the region. PCs can easily invade the caves, though demi-humans cannot realistically access the Keep.
Keep on the Borderlands makes an interesting scenario for an "Evil" campaign. Instead of playing humans tasked with removing the nuisance of a small underground demi-human town, Borderlands offers the opportunity to play demihumans who are facing an existential threat from the presence of the Keep and its Adventurers who would set out to hunt them for sport.
2nd Ed is back!
For what it's worth…
I actually got started playing with 2e, though the group I first played with used a hodgepodge of 1e and 2e (I think they're pretty compatible, but not being particularly familiar with 1e, I don't really know) with some Arcanum thrown in.
So, with 2e coming back into print, the debate resumes on the merits and flaws in 2e.
People who prefer addition to subtraction don't like THACO. Still, it's easy to convert descending to ascending AC and just note your Attack value based on 20 – your THACO. (Oh, crap, that involves subtraction!) I've heard that there are people who dislike THACO for other reasons. I don't know what those reasons are. THACO was simply introduced to eliminate the need for an entire combat chart when really you could extrapolate all the information you actually needed from a single column.
Rules Bloat?
I don't remember if 2e got rid of 18/xx or not. If it did, go it! I don't remember seeing anything in 2e's core that was particularly annoying that wasn't already in 1e. Proficiencies were basically the same as feats, and I guess if you really hated them, you didn't have to use them. Proficiencies never came up in the games I played. 3e had all of its skills and skill points, but that always felt to me like taking all of those % tables, giving them a bit of flexibility and going around and making them mandatory (fun fact: they're not!). Then, there are splatbooks. If you can't concoct your own specialty class on your own spare time and get your DM to sign off on it, you don't need to be playing it.
I think a big issue people have with 2e is cosmetic. The books are ugly and the art is bland. The books have the binding, paper, and overall feel of Houghton-Mifflin textbooks. Most of the art felt cold and scientific; a fighter and his gear laid out much like a diagram of a dissected frog. If the rules for 2e had ever been repackaged in a more visually appealing format, I don't think that it would suffer the disdain that has become so attached to it.
2e has a sterile feel to it, which in part was a reaction to the satanic panic and the overall image problem that D&D was gaining due to journalistic malpractice, but in many ways, it was still the same game mechanically. 1e was Snakes & Ladders. 2e was Chutes & Ladders. 3e was Mousetrap.
In the meantime, I think this is a good time to point out that WotC has still avoided publishing BECMI or the Rules Cyclopedia. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. So much of the edition warring and debate focuses on 3e vs older e, or anything vs 2e, oft forgotten is the old Basic Edition. The beauty of Basic was that the entire game was self-contained in a single (or two, with B/X) booklet, without the need for multiple core books. However the eventual release of the long promised Companion (which didn't cover what Expert said it would cover), Master (oh, god, who would enjoy playing at this level?), and Immortals (has anyone actually successfully played the Polymath ascension path to its conclusion? If so, I think I'd like to punch them) took what was a pretty well balanced, functional system and threw sense out the window with its massive scaling problems and absurd cosmology. I mean, if you're going to have to come up with a new table of demi-human related attack classes based on tiered XP, just take the damn level caps off.

Gaciall of Many Things, White Lady of Polaris
Gaciall, sometimes referred to as "the White Lady of Polaris", is the "queen" of the far northern city-state, though she is never called such. It is unknown who or what she is to the people of Polaris, but as far as the Cirsovan empire is concerned, she is looked to as the ruler and head-of-state for all matters between the empire and the Polarans.
For all of the nearly 200 years that the Empire has been in contact with the city of Polaris, Gaciall of Many Things, or a woman bearing the name and title, has held court in Polaris. All accounts describe her as a young woman, dressed all in white, though all who have met her claim to have forgotten most details beyond that shortly after leaving her presence.
It is customary that any personage of importance who have made the journey to Polaris (whether travelling with supplies and traders or not) are granted audience with Gaciall. Oftentimes, these audiences are simple formalities, during which dancers are brought in, food and drink are offered to the visitors, and a songstress will sing a lay of the ancient Norther Peoples. Sometimes, however, after the lays are sung, and the dancers sent away, Shuul will be brought forth, small azure vials resting upon ornamental red pillows with gold trim, and offered to the visitors. Gaciall will bid them drink, for she will show them amazing visions of things both wonderful and terrible as they lie in the throws of the drug.
Gaciall is a seeress and a sorceress of unknown power. She is quick-witted and highly intelligent, both qualities are essential in an experienced Shuul user. It is not know whether the magic she wields in the Kingdom of Shuul can manifest itself in the physical realm (as was the case with the unnamed dreamer in the Legend of Jorgora), though it is possible that she may know how and simply chooses not to use her power in such a reckless way.
Those wishing to see the true power Shuul and be instructed in its safe use for purposes of scrying are advised to only do so by seeking out the tutelage of Gaciall. Gaciall, however, does not grant this privilege except to a very select few who strike her fancy as those worthy of her knowledge and power. Shuul is not a drug to be taken lightly, as its use may incapacitate an individual from anywhere from several hours to a number of days.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy – An Overview
You must be employed to file a chapter 13. Chapter 13 bankruptcy forces your creditors into a three to five year payment plan. Rarely does a debtor pay back all of their debts. The remaining balances are discharged at the end of the payment plan. A consumer may only file for Chapter 13 if their debts do not exceed certain dollar amounts. For a more detailed description of what chapter 13 can do, visit our chapter 13 FAQs page.
This page has a list of documents needed to file chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Calculate Your Future Income
Individuals who wish to file Chapter 13 must provide documentation of their income from all sources including, commissions, wages, child support, spousal support, social security, workers compensation, unemployment, disability benefits, retirement, and dividends.
Develop A Repayment Plan
The debtor's attorney will determine the amount of disposable income available to repay debts by completing a set of means test forms. The amount of the consumer's income remaining, after normal living expenses are subtracted, is the maximum amount available to repay debts pursuant to a three or five year plan. The payment is determined by the means test form. The payment plan is not dependent on the amount of debt but rather income and expenses.
If the individual's income is insufficient to repay his debts in full over three to five years, the individual is eligible for a partial payment plan, aka "best efforts" plan. Once the plan is completed, the remaining balances are discharged. The benefit of a repayment plan is that it allows a consumer to make smaller more manageable payments and preventing garnishments.
Most Debts are discharged under Chapter 13 bankruptcy
Only those debts provided for under the plan will be discharged. If the debtor left any creditors out of the plan, those debts will remain after the plan is completed. There are other debts which will not be discharged under Chapter 13 bankruptcy and these may include education loans; spousal and child support; drunken driving fines and restitution; criminal fines and restitution; and certain long-term obligations, such as real estate mortgages. An attorney experienced in bankruptcy law can explain which debts are eliminated as a result of a Chapter 13 discharge and which will remain.
Result of a Salary Increase during payment plan
It is possible that a client's income will increase during the repayment period and a determination needs to be made of what to do with the additional income. An attorney will provide guidance on how to proceed so as to best protect your assets.

In January Microsoft said they would only offer software updates for "security, reliability, and compatibility" fixes for Windrows 7 on the intel i7 and i5 processors until july 2017, that basically meant if you weren't using the new windows 10 Operating system on new Intel hardware by that point then you will be treated like a third class citizen.
No doubt this caused some uproar with IT departments through out the land; There are many Cooperations just getting around to pushing out windows 7 on their networks, with plans on running them for at least five years. We know, we have clients who are just pushing it out themselves.
After much ear bashing it seems Microsoft got the message and decided to change their decision, so now Microsoft is extending security-reliability-compatibility-only updates until July 2018, (yuh, thanks!) Though windows 7 support on all processors officially ends in January 2020.
So what does this all mean? Well, should you wish to install Windows 7 on lovely new intel Skylake processor, you'll find great difficulty doing things like, booting from a usb thumb stick as the OS will be missing support for the xHCIUSB controller, or Skylake hardware features, like its energy-efficient power controller.
There will be ways around these problems, which Conscious IT will post on soon, but you will need to be aware of this come the time. I could just see it now, IT Departments all over, having issues with their workstation deployments, it will be pandemonium!
…Ok slight exaggeration, but make sure you mark the dates down on your calendars and start planning for the coming change.

First Vicar Apostolic of Dakota. Martin Marty was born at Schwyz in Switzerland, on the 12th of January 1834, and entering in youth, the great Benedictine abbey of Einsiedlen, made his profession on the 20th of May 1855. The young monk had already pursued his theological studies with such zeal and talent, that the next year he was ordained on the 14th of September. A colony of monks from Einsiedlen was sent to Indiana in 1854, and founded St. Meinrad's. Dom Marty arrived in 1860 to share the labors of the sons of St Benedict, and when the priory was established five years later, he was made the first superior. The little community prospered, receiving postulants who persevered and the mission work increasing. Pope Pius IX in 1870 erected St. Meinrad's into an abbey, constituting the Fathers connected with it into the Helveto-American Congregation, and Right Rev. Martin Marty was made mitred abbot. The cornerstone of a new monastery was laid May 22nd, 1872. Abbot Marty presided for several years, perfecting the institutions under his care and extending the missions, erecting churches and fostering education. But he had always desired to undertake missions among the Indians, and at last he went with some Fathers to Dakota. The work there gave such promising hopes that he resigned his dignity of abbot to devote himself to it. In 1879, the Territory of Dakota was formed into a vicariate apostolic, and confided to the care of the zealous Benedictine who was consecrated Bishop of Tiberias, on the 1st of February, 1880. When Bishop Marty attended the [Third] Plenary Council [of Baltimore] four years later, there were nearly ninety churches and fifty priests in his vicariate, with seven Indian missions attended by his clergy, Benedictine, Ursuline and Presentation nuns, with Sisters of the Holy Cross, and Youville Sisters of Charity, aiding in the good work.
John Gilmary Shea, The Hierarchy of the Catholic Church in the United States (New York: The Office of Catholic Publications, 1886), 396.

Merck Index Online is an authoritative source of information on chemicals, drugs and biologicals. You an search or browse its more than 11,000 monographs (chemical compounds) that can be explored for research and everyday practical purposes. Ideal for quick searches to reveal the properties of compounds and biologicals, Merck Index Online provides identifiers such as CAS Registry Number and structure. It also gives the molecular formula, molecular weight and melting point as well as Trademark names.
Structure search is simplified by the 'convert' feature, which allows for inserting a compound name and then converting it to a structure to enable a substructure or exact structure search. It has more than 500 organic named reactions (ONR) which have been recognized and referred to by name within the chemistry community, for example, the Ehrlich-Sachs Reaction (1899). Attached to each ONR are relevant references including that of the original description. All references are from scholarly journals, encyclopedias and handbooks. Apart from properties, all records have appropriate sections that describe them, depending on the type of compound. One example is the "Therapeutic Category" under Classifications, which is useful for identifying uses of compounds and their derivatives in healing, re: Glybuzole – Trademark name – Gludiase as an antidiabetic. The database is further enhanced by its 28 reference tables.
Merck Index Online is valuable to researchers, faculty and students in basic science, chemistry, pharmacy, chemical and life science engineering, biomedical sciences, dentistry, allied health, and medicine. It is also useful for everyday practical purposes such as information on additives or components, nutrients, minerals, and proteins. For example, get all the information for the cooking spice, nutmeg, its uses in flavoring food and beverages, nutmeg oil as a fragrance in soaps, detergents, creams, lotions, perfumes, and candles.

Need a lawyer?
The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Greg has always loved sport, so when a career change was required after being injured in an explosion whilst serving with the Army in Afghanistan, he chose to return to education and study a sports related degree. Despite spending seven years out of education he was able to use his experience gained in the Army to achieve a place on the UCLan Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching at Runshaw College. The course was highly recommended by a friend who was a past student.
The smooth transition back into education provided by the team of tutors and fellow students at Runshaw College, as well as the total commitment to his study, enabled Greg to achieve a distinction for his Foundation Degree, something he did not imagine would be possible when he started the course. He has not only managed to achieve outstanding academic results, but has successfully managed to balance studying alongside working in sports education, organising high profile sports events and achieving outstanding sporting goals including the title of Preston's Strongest Man 2015.
Greg is delighted with is achievements and can't wait to be moving on in September 2016 to study BA (Hons) Sports Coaching Top Up at UCLan Preston. Before leaving the Army he was selected to train soldiers and discovered his vocation for teaching, so on completion of his degree he hopes to pursue a PGCE to enable him to fulfil his career goal of becoming a PE teacher.

Time again for another new episode of Intellectual Froglegs. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the humorous musings of conservative video blogger, Joe Dan Gorman
America is starting to feel like America again (complete with the buzz of liberals bitching in the background).
And at the risk of sounding sycophantic… I'm beginning to think Donald Trump is from the planet Krypton and his real father's name is Jor-El… Are you kidding me?
Like most of you—I'd become conditioned to believe that ANY positive changes to our government (if not impossible) would be a painfully long process.
Not our President. But again, there is little 'conventional' about Donald John Trump.
President Trump has had the most successful first year in modern presidential history— yet over 90% of his coverage by the mainstream media is negative. Despite all that… the Trump economy is exploding. Breaking a new record almost daily…it seems. (Intellectual Froglegs)
Joe Dan Gorman is the creator, host & producer of Intellectual Froglegs. Unapologetic Christian. Nominated for VIDEO BLOGGER OF THE YEAR at CPAC 2013. Former Real Estate Investment Broker until real estate collapse in 2007. Began new career in 2011 – Intellectual Froglegs is like a one-man band… and Joe Dan is that one man. Put God first and everything else will fall into place.

Christmas Grammar Geekery!
A little bit of grammar geekery on Christmas!
As heard on the radio yesterday:
"… faithful friends that are dear to us…"
This version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was recorded by Denver & the Mile High Orchestra. I did a check to see that the original lyrics are correct:
"… faithful friends who are dear to us…"
Merry Christmas, dear readers!

Art has been an integral part of my life as far back as I can remember. Where I lacked in a subject while going to school, I always tried to make it up by adding art into the assignment (didn't always work in math class). In my youth I practiced the most common art forms like drawing, charcoal, crayon, and the like, however it wasn't until I reached High School that I started dabbling in oil painting. Well life takes off fast and although I often did random art projects through the years, it wasn't until around 2009 that I picked up art again, eventually exploring watercolor. It came very natural to me and I have won many awards for my paintings, but personally that doesn't really matter much. To me, it has always been about the excitement of creating something from nothing. Besides the joy art provides for me, I also love participating with others while they discover the creativity that has been inside them all along.

This past week Bruce(6.5) and I read Muslim Child: Understanding Islam Through Stories and Poems by Rukhsana Khan as part of my Inspired by SLE Reading List Part 2.
I thought that for your average American I knew a decent amount about Islam but three chapters into Muslim Child I am realizing how ignorant I am. For example, I knew that prayer was one of the five pillars of Islam but I did not know that the first prayer, or Fajr, had to be done before sunrise. So at certain points in the year this can mean waking your whole family up at 4:30 AM, washing, praying, and then going back to bed. That really teaches kids about discipline and commitment!
Another story we read was about a girl who was grown up enough to try fasting for Ramadan for the first time. It really made Bruce and I both think about growing up, taking on new responsibility, and perseverance.
I am really excited to be reading this book with Bruce right now, and someday with Jenna(2) too, because I want both of them to have understanding about the other people and faiths in the world around them. I want Bruce and Jenna to think about how other people think, in order to better form their own opinions and beliefs. I also want them to have kindness and understanding for their neighbors, and an appreciation for morality in every culture.
