BSOD Kernel crash stuff
Been getting the BSOD Kernel crash on my Notebook for about 2 months now.
I have a Compaq presario CQ61 Notebook. OS Windows 7 6.1.7600 Build 7600 which came with my Notebook and I bought it in April 2010. Never reinstalled anything and is exactly as I bought it.
Im not that tech savvy im afraid so any help you can give me is much appreciated.
I have attached the zipped folder as requested.
It just happens when it idles mostly, very rare it does it when Im doing something.

Hi, notthenutz, and welcome to the forum. I looked at your three most recent dumps. They are virtually identical. They blame memory corruption and show a hardware error:
ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000185 - The I/O device reported an I/O error.
DISK_HARDWARE_ERROR: There was error with disk hardware
Bugcheck 7A, KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. Usual causes: Memory, Paging file corruption, File system, Hard drive, Cabling, Virus infection, Improperly seated cards, BIOS, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack.
If you wish to do some of the testing changes yourself, here are the steps I recommend.
1. Run CheckDisk -
Run CHKDSK /R /F from an elevated (Run as adminstrator) Command Prompt. Please do this for each hard drive on your system.
When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter. Then reboot and let the test run. It may take a while for it to run, but keep an occasional eye on it to see if it generates any errors. See "CHKDSK LogFile" below in order to check the results of the test.
Elevated Command Prompt:
Go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
At the top of the Search Box, right click on Cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"
CHKDSK LogFile:
Go to Start and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Expand the Windows logs heading, then select the Application log file entry.
Double click on the Source column header.
Scroll down the list until you find the Chkdsk entry (wininit for Windows 7).
2. Uninstall Norton/Symantec using this removal tool: Tool. Norton is a known cause of BSOD's on some Win 7 systems. Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials (free) in its place and make sure Windows Firewall is turned on. Once your get your system stable, you can try Norton again; but I do not recommend it. At his point you are trying to eliminate all potential causes of BSOD's.
3. Outdated drivers can and do cause BSOD's. You have numerous outdated drivers. It is certainly possible that come of these drivers are causing conflicts with your hard drive and the I/O system.

How to find drivers -
- I have listed links to most of the drivers in the code box above. Please use the links there to see what info I've found about those drivers.
- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads
This will be a time consuming task. If you need help with the drivers, please post. I suggest you start with oldest drivers, those in red font.

Here's the horses that travel from one end of town to the other, selling rides to tourists. That day they actually had takers!
We wanted to show you the results of the recent storms. Between high winds that created big waves and high tides, and then a big rainstorm that brought rivers of water running down the banks, people on the beaches have a lot of cleaning up to do.
You should be able to zoom these photos, and see that this cool concrete landing and stairway, along with the retaining wall in front of it, got pretty much trashed.
Watch out for that first step!
A pretty starfish that Carl found.
A really cool jellyfish that Dan found- he and Cheryl have a picture of an even bigger one:
Carl picked it up with his bare hands and brought it home for more detailed inspection.
And we continued our walk...
We went to an event at Pinky's last night. For those who have been there, it's very cozy right now. The windows are covered with canvas and the pool area is thatched off with palm leaves. It looks great, and it's considerably warmer than I thought it would be.
The event was this- bring a blanket or a soccer ball or a donation, and get 3000 pinky bucks to play blackjack with. Then about 9:30 you take your winnings and there's an auction for various prizes. There were a lot last night. The big prizes were a snorkel set, a series of visits to a dentist for teeth-cleaning (not thrilling to we anti-dentites), and a weekend for two at one of the Sonoran Resorts.
Carl and I figured most people would be bidding on the big stuff, so we started bidding right away, and got a bunch of great stuff:
Handmade Christmas ornaments- yes, we do have a tree.:
A set of mugs that will likely go to the neighbors:
And two pretty ring holders for people who collectively own 2 rings. But we thought they'd look nice next to our pewter-look elephant.

Slide Mounts
Slide mounts are wonderful little treasures—they can easily become a focal on a handmade card or an accent on a scrapbook page. Because they're paper, you can stamp them, chalk them or cover them with paper.
Covering a Slide Mount with Paper
Step Two: Place the slide mount with the paper side down on a cutting surface. Use an X-acto® knife to cut an "X" in the center from corner to corner. The "X" doesn't have to be perfectly straight—it just needs to go from one corner to the other.
Step Three: After you cut the "X", pull the triangles to the back of the slide mount and glue to the sides of the slide mount. Trim the excess paper from the edges of the slide mount.
Step Four: Turn the slide mount over and use as desired. Try framing a photo, journaling or a piece of paper art, adding a clip, brad, embossed charm or ribbon.
Circular Slide Mounts
Circular slide mounts make great embellishments—but sometimes covering them with paper can seem tricky. Just follow these steps for perfect covering and cutting tips!
Step One: Place glue on one side of the slide mount and place face down on the white or back side of your patterned paper. Use a pair of small, sharp scissors to cut around the outside edge of the slide mount, removing the excess paper. Trimming the excess is easier with scissors because of the slightly rounded corners, though you can use an X-acto® knife.
Step Two: For the center of the slide mount, there are two cutting methods:
- Option one: Poke a hole in the middle of the paper with your knife or scissors. Starting from that hole, cut "V" shapes outward toward the edge of the circle, about every 1/8". If you're using a knife, you can cut it just like a pie or a pizza! Pull the cut pieces back and glue down.
- Option two: Hold the slide mount on the bottom left corner with your left hand. Take your knife in your right hand and starting on the left inside edge, pull the knife blade against the center of the slide mount. Rather than lifting your knife, keep your knife in place and turn the slide mount with your left hand until you've cut the entire circle.
Either method should produce a great looking covered circular slide mount. For a clean look, rub your finger along the inside edge of the cut window.

MILAN -- A quarter of patients with platinum-refractory or resistant ovarian cancer had a good response to an investigational agent that targets a kinase implicated in oncogenesis and tumor progression, results from a small preliminary clinical trial showed.
Three of 31 patients had objective responses to the aurora A kinase inhibitor MLN8237 and five others had stable disease over four cycles of therapy. All three responses persisted for more than six months, suggesting potentially durable activity, investigators reported here at the European Society for Medical Oncology meeting.
Treatment was associated with considerable toxicity, however, including one or more grade 3+ drug-related adverse events in two-thirds of patients. Toxicity generally was reversible, an observation with implications for use of the agent.
"Prolonged treatment with single-agent MLN8237 may be required to achieve full clinical benefit in this patient population," Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and colleagues concluded in a poster presentation.
"These data suggest that the early onset of toxicities requires appropriate management to allow for the prolonged treatment that is needed to achieve clinical benefit," they added.
For example, one patient with platinum-refractory disease had stable disease as best response but subsequently had a 24% reduction in tumor size at one year.
Aurora A kinase is overexpressed in several cancers, including bladder, breast, colon, gastroesophageal, head-neck, lung, ovary, pancreas, prostate, and hematologic disease. In experimental settings, inhibition of the kinase has led to mitotic delay, apoptosis of tumor cells, and growth inhibition of human tumor xenografts.
MLN8237 is an oral, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of aurora A kinase that has demonstrated activity in vitro, in vivo, and in a phase I clinical study involving patients with advanced malignancies. One patient with advanced ovarian cancer had a prolonged response.
Expanding clinical investigation of the agent, Matulonis and colleagues conducted a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study involving patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian-tube, or primary-peritoneal cancer. All had platinum-resistant/refractory disease and a treatment history of as many as three prior systemic regimens.
MLN8237 was administered on a schedule of seven days on therapy followed by 14 days off.
Tumor response was graded by RECIST criteria, and CA-125 response was defined as a 50% reduction from two initially elevated samples or a serial decrease greater than 75% over three samples.
The investigators reported that 25 of the 31 patients had ovarian cancer, five had primary-peritoneal cancer, and one had fallopian-tube cancer. Six patients had platinum-refractory disease, and the remaining 25 had platinum-resistant cancer.
Treatment with MLN8237 resulted in an overall clinical benefit rate of 26%. Two of the three partial responses were by CA-125 criteria. In addition to five patients who had stable disease for at least four cycles of therapy, 15 patients had stable disease for shorter periods of time. Median progression-free survival was 36.5 days and 77 days in patients with platinum-refractory and platinum-resistant disease, respectively.
The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were fatigue (in 58% of patients), neutropenia (55%), diarrhea (55%), anemia (52%), alopecia (48%), stomatitis (48%), nausea (45%), vomiting (39%), leukopenia (35%), and thrombocytopenia (26%).
The most common grade 3+ adverse events were neutropenia (32%), stomatitis (19%), leukopenia (19%), thrombocytopenia (16%), and fatigue (13%).
A third of patients had serious adverse events during the first two cycles of therapy, consisting of neutropenia, pyrexia, abdominal pain, anemia, leukopenia, intestinal obstruction, and stomatitis. Five patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events.
Ongoing evaluation of MLN8237 includes a phase I/II trial of the agent in combination with paclitaxel in patients with ovarian cancer.
The study was supported by Millennium Pharmaceuticals.
Matulonis disclosed a relationship with Millennium, and other investigators in the study were Millennium employees.

Hargreaves Lansdown has called on the Government to reform automatic enrolment to let employees choose their own pension scheme.
In April Money Marketing revealed the Government is exploring radical plans to let employees overrule their employers on workplace pensions.
Supporters say the move would solve the problem of people building up multiple small pots when they switch employers, as well as empowering savers and boosting engagement.
They argue the pension freedoms have pushed responsibility from employers onto individuals and this should be reflected in the system for building up savings.
A briefing note published by Hargreaves Lansdown, and seen exclusively by Money Marketing, sets out why the firm supports the idea.
It says the proposed "provider follows member" model would be fit into a modifided auto-enrolment system "retaining the key advantages of the current system and adapting it to meet the engagement needs of the post pension-freedom world".
Author – head of retirement policy Tom McPhail – explains new employees would be asked whether they would like their pension contributions paid into an existing scheme.
He notes several potential issues and how they would be overcome. These include paternalistic employers not wanting to accept contributions for past employees, and a negative impact on firms' willingness to engage with pensions.
For the former McPhail suggests providers and in-house schemes would not be compelled to offer the option and adds employers would still be able to set their own contribution rates to reward staff to remain engaged.
The People's Pension director of policy and market engagement Darren Philp says: "This is what happens in Australia. Employers should still have a default scheme for auto-enrolment but if someone is engaged, why not let them choose? Something like this is probably a few years away but it is always good if the system allows people to vote with their feet."
Pension Playpen founder Henry Tapper says: "Employers don't really own pension schemes any more, do they really have a relationship with a provider like Nest? There are technical problems with sending payments to different providers but if they can get around that it would be a good thing particularly for small firms. Where employees want to get involved with pensions we should let them."
Critics have argued employers and payroll firms will not be able to cope with facilitating multiple payments to multiple pension providers.
But McPhail says either the Government can create a central clearing house – so employers make a single payment which is then distributed to individuals' chosen schemes – or payroll firms will simply have to adapt.
He says: "Some payroll providers already allow employers to pay to multiple pension providers. Others will have to incorporate additional fields to allow this. It is hard to imagine that they would be enthusiastic about this, but that doesn't mean it can't be done."
Clarke Robinson & Co managing director Steven Robinson says: "This is a like walking on the moon without oxygen, can you imagine the chaos this would cause? Accounting costs would become enormous, what about all those firms with staff paid weekly with fluctuating hours. We would be better off concentrating on the pensions dashboard, where you can see all your savings in one place."

The new edition of this best-selling text is summarised by 'classic text, modern presentation.' Its emphasis on fundamental skills and concepts, and clearly explained problem-solving strategies continues to be a strength. The revision builds on the highly praised style and applications to everyday life that have earned this text a reputation as the voice of authority in general chemistry.
- General Organization
- The overall chapter organization is almost identical to 5/e. Two minor changes in Chapter titles: Chapter 19 was called Ionic Equilibria II: Hydrolysis and Titration Curves, now called Ionic Equilibria II: Buffers and Titration Curves. Chapter 27 was called Organic Chemistry I: Compounds and is now called "Organic Chemistry II: Compounds and Introduction to Reactions."
- Classic Strengths
- Readability, accuracy, comprehensiveness
- Strong on basics such as drawing and interpreting Lewis structures. Says one reviewer: "I do like the method used for determining the Lewis structures. It allows the students to determine the number of bonds easily and the number of lone pairs of electrons." New to this edition
- Molecular models. Much of the artwork has been created using updated software, in order to enhance the visual presentation
- Saunders CD-ROM cross references in the margin. These direct the reader to specific sections in the most popular general chemistry CD-ROM on the market. A separate correlation guide linking this text to the CD-ROM will be available
- Macro-micro art. This artwork shows moleculese in an "exploded" format in order to help understand molecular behavior
- Stereoscopic art. Packaged with each text is a stereoscopic viewer in order to see various molecules in motion. See especially Chapters 8, 13, 18, 25, 27, and 28
- Major revision of End-of-Chapter Exercises. More than 40 percent of the Exercises are new or updated
The Exercises represent an excellent variety and continue to challenge the student's grasp of concepts in addition to skill building. Many new ones include environmental and industrial applications. A new type of exercise that is widely praised is the Conceptual Exercise.

I am sure many people will giggle at this question, but it is an excellent example of everyday science!
Gas is a natural by-product of consuming food and digesting it. The body relieves the build-up of gas pressure by belching (burping) or flatulence (farting). People are embarrassed to admit they burp or fart and some even claim that they do not pass gas. If this were true, they would inflate like a balloon and suffer terrible abdominal pains. Ouch!
Belching (burp!)
Belching is the release of air that gets trapped as we chew and swallow our food. If you drink carbonated beverages like Coke and 7-Up, you will burp the carbon dioxide gas that makes the drink fizzy. Some people can burp on demand simply by swallowing air.
Our anonymous friend has noticed that certain foods make them flatulent. Perhaps you may have noticed that beans, cabbage, high fiber breads and cereals give you gas. In general, this holds true for many people.
Let us take a look at how our bodies make gas.
The digestion process
Digestion begins once we put food in our mouth. The process of chewing physically mashes food and mixes it with enzymes (more on enzymes later) that fragment complex sugars. Once the food reaches the stomach, it is tossed around in very strong acid, breaking apart proteins, sugars, and fats into more manageable pieces.
Afterwards, the processed food is passed into the small intestine, where the nutrients and water are absorbed and the waste is passed on. The cells lining the intestines use enzymes to crack apart complex sugars so they can be absorbed easily.
Our bacterial friends
Inside our intestines live bacteria called Escherichia Coli, or E. coli for short. Our bacterial buddies assists in food absorption, waste processing and vitamin K production (a chemical that helps your blood to clot when you get cut). These bacteria are also responsible for making gas in your digestive tract, and…farts.
Here is a picture of E. Coli taken by an electron microscope.
Before you blame E. coli for all you flatulent woes, we need to understand why it makes gas.
Here is where things get interesting!
As I mentioned in the Antibiotics discussion, bacterial cells and our cells have similar machinery of life. Some of these machines are called enzymes.
Enzymes are proteins that perform the chemical reactions of life. There are many kinds of enzymes, each having a very specific function. Some enzymes only work with DNA, some with sugars, others only send signals.
Sugars are complex chemicals that are made by most living things, from bacteria to plants to humans!
Sugars are the universal source of chemical energy that makes life possible.
There are many different kinds of sugars with names like sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar), glucose, and fructose.
Here is a picture of table sugar from my kitchen.
Did you know that different sugars have different levels of sweetness?
It's true!
A group of scientist figured out how to measure the relative sweetness of various sugars.
For example, they determine that fructose is about two times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). This means that if you are making a sweet drink then you can use less fructose than sucrose to sweeten it. This is why most drink manufacturers use high fructose corn syrup instead of sucrose!
"Right-handed" sugars and "left-handed" sugars!
Many sugars can be "right-handed" or "left- handed." This means they are mirror images of each other. An example of a mirror image is our hands.
Putting it all together!
Most sugars in nature are made in the "right-handed" version only. The enzymes in our intestines can only react with "right handed" sugars.
E. coli that live in our intestines can digest both right and left-handed sugars.
Foods like beans, cabbage and high grain breads and cereals contain "left-handed" sugars that only the bacteria can process.
When bacteria digest sugars, they make gases like carbon dioxide and methane. This is flatulence!
Now you know why certain foods cause gas!

Hey there! Long time no see, right? Well I have been busy quilting away...and going to a very awesome retreat in Hamilton, MO that I MUST blog about. But first lets look at this fabulous quilt that took ages to quilt.
Forgive the bad pictures, this quilt was too big to get good pictures of. Lynn made this quilt. It is for her grandson in Italy and she wanted it quilted in a masculine fashion. The back is a black sateen and I was a bit afraid of it. The colors all contrast so much, What thread would I use so that the black back didn't look like a carnival?
I choose red thread in the background and grey thread in the blocks.
So very many straight lines. Straight lines are much more difficult than Swirls. I think I have been on a straight line kick lately, but it looks so good!
Thank you for letting me quilt your quilt Lynn! I hope your grandson loves it!

10 Ways Culinary School Differs From Home Cooking
One of the first questions you will be asked when you tell people you're going to culinary school is about your intent behind it. Most commonly: Do you want to be a chef or work in a restaurant? While there are certainly cooks who go to culinary school in order to work in a restaurant, it can also be beneficial to the home cook.
That being said, there are a few key differences between home cooking and the kind of cooking you learn in culinary school. Here's what I discovered.
First off, you don't have to be a chef in training to go to culinary school.
When debating going to culinary school, a lot of my friends who are chefs told me it was a waste of money. Because I had no intention of working at a restaurant, they didn't think it was worth my time. They suggested instead that I do some kind of "stage" or free labor at a restaurant in order to pick up skills. For me, however, I was seriously lacking confidence in my abilities, and I really craved the attention I imagined would be in a course.
Once I had decided culinary school was right for me, I debated taking the short course or the professional 9-month course at The International Culinary Center in New York. A part of me really wanted to take the professional program as I thought I would benefit from it long term for my interests and career, but I just couldn't justify spending the amount of time and money. Culinary school is definitely not cheap.
The short program ended up being the perfect fit for home cooking. I had excellent hands-on experience, my instructors were incredibly attentive, and I asked all my burning questions without hesitation. The result was that I gained more confidence in the kitchen and have the basic skills and knowledge that makes cooking at home more enjoyable. You really don't have to want to work in a restaurant to get the most out of this course.
That being said, there are some things culinary school focuses on that are aimed towards students who want to work in a restaurant. Then there are other things that simply don't have any equivalent outside of cooking school (like space). Here are those things.
How Cooking at Home Differs From Culinary School
1. You don't have a professional dishwasher.
One of the luxuries of going to culinary school (or at least the one I went to) is that we never had to wash our pots, pans, and bowls. Mhmmm, it was a dream to not give a care in the world about using anything we wanted to cook with. This is definitely not the reality when you're cooking at home.
2. You don't need to rush.
In culinary school we rushed to present our dishes to our instructor, and I think this partially had to do with getting the feel for working in a restaurant. While it's important to try and get dinner on the table before midnight if you have family, there's usually no exact time that you have to have everything ready.
3. You don't need to plate your food a particular way.
Good plating can definitely enhance the experience of eating, but you're not going to get yelled at if you forget that sprig of parsley that was supposed to go on top of the chicken.
4. You can wear whatever you want.
In culinary school, like in restaurants, you usually have to wear chef whites, or something that complies with the heath code. At home? Forget about it.
5. You don't need to know the French word for everything.
I learned a good deal of classic French culinary terms while I was in culinary school. I imagine that they might be used in restaurants, but they are definitely not used in my home (or at least for the most part).
6. You don't have as much space to cook.
The idea of having unlimited counter space, and multiple ovens and burners to work with, is now a sad, distant memory.
7. The cost of food is a bigger concern.
Something I haven't talked a lot about is the amount of waste that happens in culinary school. If you mess up, it's not a big deal to toss your dish and start over. If you can't take something home to eat later and nobody else wants it, you toss it. This is where restaurants and home cooks take a stand: throwing something out is simply a waste of money.
8. Mise en place tricks don't matter.
A few times in culinary school we talked about certain tricks that would help preserve food through service. For example, if you chop parsley up, put it in a paper towel, and then run it under water, the color and taste will last for 6 hours — about how long dinner service lasts in a restaurant. Unless you're having a lot of people over for brunch or dinner, however, this trick probably isn't important to the home cook.
9. You don't have a pantry the size of your apartment.
Being asked to go grab some sea salt at the pantry from my instructor in culinary school was like being asked to visit paradise.
10. You don't have to over-salt everything.
Do you think your food is well seasoned enough? My instructor at culinary school would beg to differ. While salt definitely adds a lot of flavor to any dish, it's up to you to decide how much you want to use at home.
After dreaming about culinary school for the last five years, I finally signed up for a course this summer at the International Culinary Center in New York. The course, Culinary Techniques, is a three month class that meets two nights a week, and focuses on classic culinary traditions and methods like knife skills, stock-making, classic recipes, and some pastry.

for the record this campaign is closed
( The following is from messages passed between daviswilder and myself, enrolling Ruune Yaru Into the plot)
Ruune Yaru
Lead through his trusty companion Jin, Ruune stumbles upon this village out of the forest. In front of him, looks to be a tavern. Jin leads the way, although there seems to be some commotion going on, Ruune follows his spirit companion not paying attention to his surroundings.
Jin walks straight through the door as if it was not there, Ruune walks right into the door hitting his head. He then opens the door to see Jin in the spirit world letting out a deep sigh.
There seems to be a human sitting at the bar, not paying much attention. jin hops on top of the bar (still transparent) The wood carvings catch Ruunes eye, he shuffles over and inspects them without regard. picking them up and looking. He then shuffles over to the bar, takes a seat and leans towards the human and lets out a very loud awkward HELLO. ACOG
The young man looks up, a bored look in his eye untill they strech to encompass the strange beeing before him.
" Oh gods!!" he squeaks, turns and runs into the back room yelling " Hilbert I think they are attack the inn. Jin gives you his mischievous foxy grin and follows the distressed human, meanwhile the foot steps return front he back room. A new human has emerged older and wiser in the world he looks at you and says to young human cowering " Fadren you ever see a damn goblin that tall?" The younger human deflates and calms, but the older ma known as Hilbert seems to be carrying a great burden. From between his legs Jin returns beckoning you urgently into the storeroom.
Ruune Yaru
Ruune sees Jin beckoning him and takes a deep long look at the grey haired human.
"Insight check, (3+9 =12)*
Ruune notices the human is being genuine. He then walks toward the human not paying much attention to him, not saying a word and slinking by him to the back room. Fadren opens his mouth as if to detest and Hilbert hushes him before he can get a word out.
Jin is standing over the what seems to be a large dark female bleeding on the floor.
Perception Check 7+9=16**
Ruune notices a Holy Symbol next to the bleeding woman.
He looks to the older human and says "you are a god healer?"
Hilbert speaks, " i used to be, long ago. i'm afraid i am not as powerful as i once was."
Jin jumps in the air and circles the body of this large woman, beckoning ruune for aid. He crouches over her puts his hand on her head and caresses his ornate bone necklace, chanting quietly. (using his Speak with spirits power 4 on checks)
A light spirit appears behind Ruune only he can see. It looks to be half goat half human that only Ruune can see. She leans down and puts her hand on her head along side his and begins chanting.
**heal check 29+4=15**
Your mind loses all peripheral thoughts as you assess the injured woman. Your training in the healing arts augmented by the whispers of the spirits weave a tapestry of pain and injury that you are finding difficult to unravel. Like you this woman is of nature's children, her spirit glows with the hidden charms of Moraines graces. She is a Goliath and the axe wounds and snapped crossbow bolts would of caused her little injury, but there is another vector here. Even now a sticky caustic substance that eats at her flesh. Floating over all of this in the ethereal is a conversation, a angry almost forgotten god of the earth confronting the faithless cleric, she is Moraine, old mother earth, and she requires umbrage in return for restoration and health. She now feels your presence, and turns her eye; You gather you skills may be unwanted in this home.
(Diplomacy check; can be assisted by a DC 20 Insight check) Ruune Yaru
Mystified from the corrosive substance claiming the Goliath, he turns his attention to the argument that ensues.
As the spirit of Moraine focuses on a confused Ruune..
Insight check 15+9=24
In quiet the hurry Ruune exits the room in a timely but flustered fashion.
As he leaves the room it dawns on him that he had forgot Jin. He shuffles back in to see Jin staring at the conversation still ensuing. He clicks his tongue to the bottom of his mouth two times, Jin snaps out of her daze and starts to exit the room. The spirit looks directly at Ruune, "Good luck on your Proving, shaman. You will need it if she is your companion. I do not know why the spirits chose her for you, pity… Goodbye, Jin"
Jin exits the door to the Pub/inn, Ruune this time walks to the door and a look of surprise strikes his face it seems he has remembered to open the door before walking into it. Both Shaman and spirit are out side of the pub, staring into
the open night. They walk across the road into field, Ruune forages and builds a fire to last the eve. They both settle down to sleep, but they still haven't said much more than a word to each other. Both of them attempting to understand what exactly the spirit meant. ACOG
As you drift off to sleep you almost immediately fall into the dreaming. You find yourself running through a field, on all fours. You search, sniffing from place to place trying to find a good thing to eat. Above you the sky seems darkened and threatening; you do not wish to stay in this field. Around a small hedge you find the opening to a abandoned fox's den, and you descend into the darkness of the earth, (at this you almost wake, but Jin hums into your ear "you must watch") the den is deeper and longer than any you have known, but still your press inwards, trying to put more earth between you and the sky. You are moving quickly through the tunnels, when the earth gives way. Tumbling you find your self in a large circular room. This room has many different points of entry and exit along the sides. In the middle is a shrine, it is a crude statue of a pregnant woman, in her arms is a bundle of wheat; a sickle lies at her side. She has no head, the sculptor didn't even appear to attempt one, the torso ends at the top with a neck. From inside the shrine you begin to hear a sobbing, you press closer and the sobbing becomes a wailing. This frightens you and you begin to panic, turning to look for an exit, the wailing becomes a scream. You run towards the nearest tunnel
A voice slams into your mind "They are returning, and you can do nothing, I can do nothing, I am no longer despaired"
From the tunnel in front of you comes a rushing noise, and you find yourself engulfed in a wall of blood. Your are carried, tumbling, through the tunnels, until you spill out into a river. The river flows with such force that you cast out far, far to sea. You float staring at the sky. Constellations you know shift, and disappear, new stars now dazzle your eyes. Suddenly you find yourself washed up on a strange shore. A new day's sun emerges. You gaze up towards to the sun to see a large lizard perched upon a humongous stone building, its neck, which is very long, cranes towards you. Feathers surround its head and its eyes are cold and hungry upon you. It roars and lightning streaks from the corners of its mouth.
You sit up awake, it is still dark, and the fire is now but embers. You can smell that the sun will soon rise. Jin weaves its self between your legs.
"She is quite mad, we cannot let her stop us from helping" he gestures with his muzzle back towards the village.
You quickly gather yourself. Take a moment's mediation and then stride into Herrington Head with speed and purpose. You rush through the inn, no one is in the main room, your path to the back room is clear. Entering you find Hilbert in the same pose as before, his prayers a mere muttering between old tears. The Goliath lies before you, the last moments of life fleeting, above her you can see the vengeful shard of Moraine, It rages at you're your renewed efforts. Ignoring her you place your hands upon the woman, and begin a healing chant.
(Roll for initiative)
Stomping through the underbrush, the trail lit only by the green flame emitted by Zaci's blade the Adventures followed the trail up into the lowlands of The Shard Hills where they found the goblins footprints descended into a opening in a chalk cliff face.
"Age before beauty" said Zaci gesturing to the aperture with his head
Thron descended the stairwell into a small entry chamber. The construction of the goblin warren was quite striking in its well crafted halls. Next to the stairs laid a large throne chair, with poles run through to either end. This chair was covered in the same goblin goo as they had found outside the farm. In front of them flanking a hallway stood two well crafted statues on plinths. They where identical and face towards each other. The statues where of a huge fat goblin, crown on his head, sceptre in one hand, and a huge leg of "mutton" in the other raised towards his mouth. Thron eyed the craftsmanship, and noticed that the arm of the statue to the north was built to swivel up and down. Thron Moved the arm into the downward position, and a nearly inaudible "thunk" came from further down the hall.
Zaci gave Thron a hard stare "well either I have armed a trap , or disarmed it" Shrugged Thron
pressing further down the hall the pair discovered a door , with a peephole at the other end. They approached it silently, listening closely they thought they could here creatures moving in the room beyond. Zaci attempted to crack the door open for a peek, but Thron backing down the corridor bumped the dragonborn and he spilled into the room door ajar.
A crossbow bolt immediately greeted the dragonborn fired by a goblin trying to take cover behind a overturned crate. Thron pushed past and charged the goblin, landing a mighty blow. Only to be struck from behind by another goblin who was waiting in the corner. Zaci moved forward to assist, narrowly dodging an attack from a third goblin leaping from the shadows of the room. The crossbow wielding goblin was soon cut down, but Thron, and Zaci in particular where being assaulted in return by the other two goblins. Suddenly a crossbow bolt stuck Zaci from the direction of the hallway they had come down. Zaci crumpled to floor the bolt protruding from his back. Dodging the attacks of his foes Thron powered the last of the healing potions down the reptilian maw of Zaci. The medicinal potion gave Zaci a resurgence of strength, and together they cut down the crazy Axe wielding goblin.
The last goblin realising he as in a bad position fled to the door to the North west, and slammed it shut. Likewise the unseen assailant from the east hallway closed and locked that doorway.
" Looks like they want to contain us here " gasp Zaci as he slumped to the floor trying to regain his breath. Thron only nodded grimly eyeing the passage the unexplored passage to the south.
Dorin remains concealed but approaches as safely as possible to hear what might be said inside. Perhaps to the side of the building by a window.
Ok I need a Stealth check followed by a perception check :)
Okay…. Perc. roll 8 – 1mod = 7. Stealth roll 13 + 10mod = 23. (It doesn't appear that I can hear very well. I'd like to remain concealed and move to get a better view inside the doorway to see if I can sneak past the guards and remain hidden inside.)
Ok while you are unable to hear what is being said in the home, nor how many people are in there you are quite comfortably behind a hedge just off of the door now, the guards continue their placed stare
( suggestions : a bluff check to create some kind of vocal diversion, a nature check the create a physical diversion { just shaking the bush boss] (Acrobatics check+stealth check to maneuver into the home like a ninja, the guards unaware. please feel free to write up a interesting scenario for your action before you roll :)
-ooc. This is fun shit Acog! Thanks for sharing.
Unable to hear or or get a view of what is happening inside the house, Dorin decides to make a bold move. He retreats quietly to the rear of the house and changes into his set of cloth clothing and shapeshifting into the form of a comely blonde female. He adjusts the clothing to accentuate the features of the female form; hides all of his weapons and gear, then quietly maneuvers out and away from the house toward a tree in the front. Making sure that he is just in sight of the guards, he yelps a squeal (female voice) then yells, "Help me" and disappears into the woods. (Roll bluff check 11 + 10mod = 21) Dorin then quickly doubles back toward the front of the house seeking a concealment to enter the house in stealth. (Roll stealth check 7+10mod = 17.) Dorin then finds concealment inside the house, waits and listens.
Your plan works flawlessly, and the guards from the front pull of station to your aid…or maybe determent judging by the smirks on their face. Darting into the woods you carefully allow a strand or two of you clothing to rip off on some bushes and a tree, and then double back as the guards forge into the woods. As you double back you notice that the NE wall of the farm house has been smashed out, two more guards are clambering over the rubble to join the others , inside you can just make out two men in a discussion, so intense that they hardly noticed the guards change of station. you shift in along the remains of the wall to get a better look, and to possibly hear whats going on. (perception roll)
Perc. check 20(!!) -1mod = 19. Dorin listens intently and peers over the broken wall taking in as much as he can while concealed.
lol critical perception, you hear the secret conversations of ants in the grass, the crow of a um…..crow a mile away, just kidding *serious gm face activated
The two men can be seen in a room beyond the smashed nursery through a open door. They can be easily recognized for what they are a Nobleman, probably the local lord reagent, and a captain of the guard type. They seem to be in a very heated conversation.
"But, sire they broke the pact first, we require no diplomacy, this farm is under the protection of the pact, and the four have violated it." pleads the Guard captain
"Well its on the edge, but even if it wasn't I am not prepared to risk warfare with the four, over a fat baby. the pact must hold, we do not have enough troops to defend the keep much less the town!!" the Nobleman retorts, almost wining as he continues " Now about these ""Adventures"" who are they, and can we stop them."
"I know that the Dragonborn who has been hanging around the village as of late is out there with a Dwarf, and that is all; as for stopping them, we cannot, they left here at least prior to midnight maybe even earlier, and in a unknown direction. "
*Dorin stays until the information runs dry, then moves to the back of the house, changes back into his leather gear and standard male form and decides to head back to Moraine's Tears to see what's happened, and to find any trace of the dwarf and the dragonborne. He does this careful of the guards wondering aimlessly in the woods.
(The Following is a transcript of events enrolling Dorin into the plotline)
Late in the afternoon, a young (human, 25) man with reasonably cropped brown hair, and clothes befitting a merchant class citizen walks into Moraines Tears. It seams as if some sort of event has just happened. The few who are in the inn are buzzing in conversation. There is no sign of the innkeeper for the moment, so the young man takes a seat near the end of the bar and waits.
your ears strain to catch the details of the excitement (streetwise or perception check) Dorin
streetwise check to see what's going on would be roll 11+8 mod = 19. I know what's going down baby! It takes an hour. Do I see the innkeeper? If yes, then I say the following." Pardon me sir. I couldn't help but notice that your family is in peril. I have been protecting caravans from town to town and happen to be free of retainer. I have particular skills that may be of assistance. For a small fee, I would be happy to aid you with your dilemma.
Hilbert is not in view at this time, manning the bar is a disgruntled and seeming uninvolved youth ( late teens early twenties) calling himself Fadren. yes you know that the baby has been taken, and that two "adventures" had set forth just before night fell to check on the farm. Once there they found a ransom note that they have forwarded to Hilbert. The two adventures ( a unknown dwarf , and a dragonborne named Zaci.) had returned to the farm to look for a trail to follow. Hilberts wife a Goliath is in grave condition in the back being tended to by her husband. Although Hilbert was once a cleric you gather from the towns people that he has since loss his faith in his attentive god.
Dorin, being a follower of the Raven Queen cares little for the wounded woman, but sees an opportunity for work. His ethos presents him with an impetus to get involved when someone gets too big for their britches. Dorin says firmly, "Fadren. Tell me where the farm is, Hilbert wants me to help." Bluff check vs. Fadren d20- 17 + 10 mod = 27.
Dorin would then change from cloth clothing into his leather armor, get his weapons and head out quickly but cautiously. He knows that the dwarf and Zaci won't know he's there to help, and would have the intent of arriving in stealth mode.
You don your "work" outfit and step out into the night. You travel at a quick trot and arrive at the Banyard farm. The barn that once stood just off of the farm house to the north has been reduced to a large pile of charcoal. To the south of it by the cart path you find the smoldering remnants of a second smaller fire. Amongst the embers are the charred bones of several animals. Ahead of you down the cart path lays the farmhouse, its front door still smashed to splitters. Standing to either side of the door are two very official looking guards in chain mail and metal helms, both of which are wielding spears and torches. They have the impassive stare of guards at ease. From inside you can just make the muffled murmur of a conversation. You are currently undetected by the guards. What would you like to do?
Retuning to Hilbert's farm house our two would be heroes begin a closer examination of the area surrounding the smashed in walls of the nursery. Eventuality they isolate a set of goblin tracks heading into the woods. It appears some of them where carrying something that was quite heavy. As the trail weaved between the trees, Thorn Thros-Gare found a strange substance.
It appeared to be a large pile of some foul, and possibly caustic substance.
" That is not of magical origin" stated Zaci after close examination " in fact I have no idea what that is"
"hrmmm…." grumbled Thron and he gave the pile a kick with his boot
"I think ts a big pile of goblin spit, and bile lots of bile"
Zaci shot the dwarf a crooked glance "How do you know that?"
"Trust me" Smirked Thron and then he led the pair of them deeper into the woods.
Arriving at a sheer chalk face in the hillside they arrived at a opening into the earth.
Tracks leading into and from the opening gave Thron a clear indication that they had found there destination.
The sun sets as our do-gooders approach the Banyard Compound. The front of the home is illuminated completely by the burning barn adjacent to it . Further evidence of violence is indicated by the slain animals in their pens, and the smashed in front door of the home. As Zaci approaches the door, Thorn scouts the perimeter. Neither sight nor sound of the living; beyond the doors zaci cannot observe much of the interior of the home, so he lights a torch, and together they slowly scout the homestead. A search of the kitchen and sitting room find evidence of life interrupted. A spot of blood here, a streak there. Entering the Banyard bedroom they find a note next upon a desk, its candle lit. The note is scrawled in the crudest of common and reads "Give me ur Monai or I eat ur Baby" and is signed by a King Gobulous. Bellow that is printed instructions for a ransom delivery. As Thorn tucks the note away; the two adventures become aware of a snarling, and ripping noises coming from the next room.
Opening the door revealed what must of been a nursery, until someone smashed some of the walls in. Amongst the crib, baby clothes and rubble lay a corpse of a young woman being feasted upon by a pair of young dire wolves. Zaci andThorn Seem to drive the wolves off , gravely injuring one of them, but as they try to move the corpse back into the secure portions of the farm house , the wolves renew their assault joined by a third. As the melee came to a crescendo; claw and tooth fell to the spell and steel. Binding their wounds a quaffing potions Thorn places the corpse in the cold kitchen as Zaci greets a oncoming rush of locals attempting to get control of the barn fire. After updating the crowd the adventures carry the letter back to Moraine's Tears .
After some initial technical hurdles the game got off to a rawring, albeit traditional start. Picture if you will a Inn, a Inn in the small farming community of Harrington Head, and in this Inn is a dwarf cry's " Barkeep more beer", to which the the proprietor of the inn "Moraine's Tears" Repeatedly responds " My name isHilbert!!!" and gives the curt dwarf his next round. Into this walks Zaci A Dragonborn Swordmage, um…...expanding his heat dissipating membranes ( how do dragonborune sweat lol) after a training session outside of town. The Dwarf and Dragon Man exchange hard stares. Not to be one to run from a fight Zaci grabs a beer for himself , as well as the dwarfs 13th pint and slams it on the table in front of the Dwarf.
"Who are you?" asks Zaci.
"Thorn Thros-Gare .... who are you" quips the Dwarf
The "civilities" continue until they are Interrupted by a hugely tall Dark skinned woman stumbles into Moraines Tears covered in blood.
"the farm" is all that passes her lips, and she falls crumpling to the ground, caught just in time by Zaci.
Hilbert Flies over the bar and begins treating the fallen woman. As the two outsiders watch the ongoing scene, a realization strikes Zaci, he has seen the woman before In the Inn beside the bar is a large set of woodcarvings and paintings. All of them but one feature Hilbert holding a enormous baby. The remaining picture is of the woman sprawled on the floor in front of them.
"Hilbert you must get to the farm" states Zaci
"No, there is not time, I know I don't know you well, but you can handle what has attacked my home, take the damn dwarf with you" commands Hilbert as he begins to begins a healing prayer on his fallen wife.
Zaci and Thorn exchange glances. "s'all right with me" shrugs Thorn "As long as i get to hit something"
Zaci ever full of the daring-do charges out of the building, only to be called back by Hilbert and instructed to gather some healing potions from under the bar. Properly equipped, our two adventures strike out twords the smoke rising from the north.
Every campaign gets an Adventure Log, a blog for your adventures!
While the wiki is great for organizing your campaign world, it's not the best way to chronicle your adventures. For that purpose, you need a blog!
The Adventure Log will allow you to chronologically order the happenings of your campaign. It serves as the record of what has passed. After each gaming session, come to the Adventure Log and write up what happened. In time, it will grow into a great story!
Best of all, each Adventure Log post is also a wiki page! You can link back and forth with your wiki, characters, and so forth as you wish.
One final tip: Before you jump in and try to write up the entire history for your campaign, take a deep breath. Rather than spending days writing and getting exhausted, I would suggest writing a quick "Story So Far" with only a summary. Then, get back to gaming! Grow your Adventure Log over time, rather than all at once.

Gluten-Free Diet Scam
Size: 7 x 10 inches (paperback)
Pages: Approx. 210
List Price: $6.95 USD (ebook edition)
List Price: $14.95 USD (paperback)
Format: ebook, paperback
ISBN-13: 978-1-944101-01-5 (ebook)
ISBN-13: 978-1-944101-01-8 (paperback)
Over 60 percent of Americans believe a gluten-free diet is a healthy alternative to the Standard American Diet. A gluten-free diet is not an organic diet or a simple diet. Thousands of prepared foods from appetizers to salad dressings contain gluten.
The Gluten-Free Diet Scam discloses the flaws in the gluten-free diet for everyone hypothesis and the health risks associated with eating a diet of restaurant and prepress foods made with thousands of manmade chemical.
While most chemicals add to foods are controlled by the Food and Drug Administration, a 1997 FDA rule changed allowed food manufactures to bypass the 1958 law requiring all food additives be tested for safety before being added to foods.
This book is a must read for anyone considering a gluten-free diet due to popular websites, best-selling books, and celebrity doctors and nutrition experts. Maintaining a life-long gluten free diet is not as simple as people are lead to believe.
Except for people diagnosed with celiac disease (by a simple good test), or confirmed to be gluten sensitive (not so simple process), a gluten-free diet may hide serious effects of a diet high in manmade chemical food additives.


text: From the author, most recently, of Doll's Eyes (1993): a mild horror novel loaded with domestic description, turnoff vulgarity, and banal writing. Wood is best known for Twins (1977), a novel adapted from real life and later filmed as Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons in a grandly monstrous dual role as twin gynecologists. Set beside that triumph, The Basement is, well, the basement. For decades, Myra Fox Ludens has been famous among her circle of friends for putting up with the horrid, shivery, smelly basement of her fine Connecticut home. Now she's spent a small fortune to revamp it, get rid of every ghastly feature, and make it suitable for club meetings. Too bad she still can't go down there, even accompanied by her club, without the whole crew getting clammy and having to hustle back upstairs. When she finds out that the ground under her basement holds the 300-year-old bones of a witch hung on nearby Hillgate (``Hellgate'') Hill, who was refused churchyard burial and cast into a grave now under this house, Myra decides on exorcism, and she and some friends set forth to collect the arcane materials for a rite to drive out ghosts. This, however, only upsets the ghost, which apparently decides to reside in Myra herself. Suddenly Myra finds herself gifted with PK, or psychokinetic powers. When her blustery, vile neighbor offends her, Myra unknowingly calls down a plague of bees that sting him to death. Another bad guy, a wife- beater, is sucked to death by a plague of ticks. Wood misfires, however, when she has the novel's greatest menace reduced to a subplot about a hebephrenic woman who becomes possessed and goes on a rampage only Myra can stop. Some lively scenes here and there but largely a wax turkey stuffed with wax grapes.

I implore you to listen to the wonderful 'Cross The Green Mountain from the album Telltale Signs Vol 8 of The Bootleg Series. It's not terribly well-known, for it was attached to a little-seen epic film about the American Civil War. Though the song is too long, it captures the sweep of a landscape and the moved and moving human eye and brain, expressed in the intimate voice at its centre. It seems sublimely relevant to my theme.
The sound of the song is cinematic or panoramic, extended rising and falling, hovering over the hills, tethered by something that sounds like a heartbeat. Listen to how cleverly it marries time and space, swirling you back and forth in contemplation of the past, the present, the near and the far. The vision sweeps from the ravaged lands and the dim Atlantic line to the blood-stained woods and the eyes of the merciful friend, ready to relieve you of your misery. Heaven moves in and out of focus. It's an ambitious song, and a real achievement, conjuring last moments, the fullness and the beauty, the sadness and the horror of life and war.
Could a garden ever reach that level of intensity? I think of gardens that have moved me, some nearly to tears, but few, apart from those designed as memorial gardens, have made me sorry for pain and distress. Maybe it's simply not within gardening's grasp, maybe I've just not looked for it.
What I have felt however, as a gardening experience, is the looking through and beyond, to a view that looks like paradise, a new world, a place of peace and beauty given that extra significance by the framing, or the management of the foreground. You need a degree of detail in the distance, where fields and trees bask in the light; you need to feel you want to go there, but that the vision of it is also a wonder and a delight.
In this photograph taken from above, from the very top of the hill, you can see how the house is set, half way down one side of a longish valley The valley is much steeper and deeper than it looks here, because of the flattening effects of height and photography.
I am unusually oppressed by interesting views from the house on this piece of land. To the West, we're forced to face the ancient hilltop town of Mondovi', or the section of it called Piazza, a place of palaces and monasteries, gazing back at us with a thousand eyes across that steep dark valley.
To the South, we can see right to the mountains on a good day, across to the old battlefield, at the far end of these graceful layered slopes.
And here is the view to the North, modern life in the distance but the lowest gentlest slopes and the most land which is actually under my control.
A rather important Napoleonic battle happened here in 1796, just half a mile up the valley from us. Here's a picture of it. The painter, Bagetti, recorded all the battles on that particular campaign. The historical references I have found all focus on the military details, nothing on the social history, so you have to imagine what it was really like, for the real people involved.
So that's where the battle took place. The French were in the defeated town by early evening of April 21st 1796, plundering and wreaking havoc, at least until the municipal stores of food were released to them. Hard to know how the townspeople felt about it, or how much havoc was wreaked. The ripples from the French Revolution had stirred the ambitions of ordinary people, all over Europe, whilst encouraging greater oppression and intransigence from the governing Savoy dynasty. Civilians were used to being pawns in the game; their feelings may have been very mixed.
