text: CamDawg Posted June 24, 2017 The BG2 Fixpack uses a number of macros for so-called immunity batch patching; for example, an item that provides immunity to hold is also supposed to block combat feedback that says 'Held' as well as the hold portrait icons and the spinny-head animation that plays on held creatures. I posted a lot of details on this before, but v11 has completely re-done how these are handled, added some additional batches out of the gate, and makes the process a lot more extensible. The old post should be considered deprecated as of this posting. The current library can be found in the current Github repo of the BG2 Fixpack, specifically here (raw). Active development is on the v11 branch, which will eventually become the master. For now, the most updated library is the linked v11 library. Despite the backend changes, all of the macros work in the same fashion as they did before. They will search through the effects on the target resource, find the relevant one, and then clone that effect into a full-fledged immunity. For example, the cd_immunity_charm macro will find the immunity to charm effect (opcode 101 with parameter2 equal to 5) and then duplicate that effect into everything that charm immunity should provide: prevent the portrait icons for charm, dire charm, and domination; prevent the strings 'Charmed', 'Dire Charmed', and 'Dominated'; prevent the visual effect spnwchrm.vvc; and display the mind shield portrait icon. Since these effects get cloned from the main immunity their timing, power, duration, saves, susceptibility to dispel/bypass magic resistance, targeting, etc. will match the original immunity. Because of this, any errors in the original immunity will be propagated into the other effects, so double-check your original effect before you run these macros.These effects will only be added if they don't exist already, and some effects are ignored in special cases (i.e. only joinable NPCs have their portrait icons exposed, so monster weapons that can't drop don't care about preventing, removing, and/or setting portrait icons). While most of these address immunities, there are some other goodies included.These macros can be used in two ways--you could include the library with your mod and then apply these as the mod gets installed, or you could run these on your mod items and use the now-patched files, eliminating the need for inclusion of the library with your mod. In both cases you'll need to at least include the effect that the macro needs to use as a key, e.g. running the Immunity to Sleep routine on an item/spell/creature won't do anything if an immunity to sleep effect is not already present. These macros are relevant for BG2, Tutu, BGT, and BG2EE games. A typical usage would be something like: INCLUDE ~MyMod/lib/bg2fp_effect_batches.tpa~ COPY ~MyMod/itm/item1.itm~ ~override~ LPF cd_apply_batch STR_VAR array_name = cd_immunity_confusion_arrays END // rounds out confusion protection The function used is always cd_apply_batch (save for elven sleep/charm resistance, see below); what differentiates the process is the set of arrays referenced in array_name. Technical details, as well as how to create and use your own arrays to make your own batch patches, follow in the next post. Free Action - cd_immunity_free_action_arraysFree action is complicated in the best of circumstances, requiring about 50 effects or so to get right. This macro keys off of an immunity to haste, slow, paralyzation, movement rate change, entangle, web, grease, or hold and will turn them into full blown free action: immunities to all of the above, curing existing hold/paralyzation/etc. and their related portrait icons, setting movement to normal, and adding a free action icon. Always follow this with the immunity arrays for Entangle, Grease, Haste, Hold, Slow, and Web. If the Fixpack's OBC 'Change Free Action to Protect Against Stun' component is installed, this will also extend free action to prevent stun and rshould be followed with the Immunity - Stun array. Otherwise, stun immunity will be removed. Full Blindness - cd_full_blindness_opcode_arrays, cd_full_blindness_eff_arrays These arrays turns an item or spell with a blindness effect into full blindness by also causing the blinded portrait icon and the 'blinded' string. For spells which cause blindness with blind.eff via opcode 177 (e.g. Holy Smite), use cd_full_blindness_eff_arrays instead. Full Dispel Magic - cd_full_dispel_arrays or cd_full_dispel_novis_arrays Items and spells that dispel magic often miss many of the subsidiary effects. This will key off of a dispel magic effect (opcode 58) and add cures for feeblemind and deafness, destruction of illusionary creatures, and will purge all of the redundant magical weapon destruction codes (these are destroyed by the main dispel effect). The regular variant of the array will also provide a 'Dispel Effects' string and the normal animation; for spells such as dead magic zones where you don't want graphics and strings repeating endlessly, the novis variant will do everything the main variant does sans the string and animation. Full Stun - cd_full_stun_arrays These arrays key off of a stun effect on an item or spell and add the stun portrait icon and the 'Stunned' string. Immunity to Blindness - cd_immunity_blindness_arrays This will key off of an immunity to the blindness effect and prevent the blind icon as well as the 'Blind' and 'Blinded' strings. Immunity to Charm - cd_immunity_charm_arrays This will key off of an immunity to the charm effect and prevent charm, dire charm, and dominated icons; prevent 'Charmed', 'Dire Charmed', and 'Dominated' strings; prevent the common charm visual spnwchrm.vvc; and add a mind shield portrait icon. Immunity to Confusion - cd_immunity_confusion_arrays This will key off of an immunity to the confusion effect and prevent rigid thinking, confused, and chaos icons; prevent 'Confused' and 'Rigid Thinking' strings; and prevent the common charm visual spconfus.vvc. Immunity to Deafness - cd_immunity_deafness_arrays This will key off of an immunity to the deafness effect and prevent the deaf icon as well as the 'Deaf' string. Immunity to Disease, Poison, and Poison Damage - cd_immunity_disease_arrays, cd_immunity_poison_arrays, cd_immunity_poison_resistance_arrays (respectively) These three are listed together since there is an unfortunate amount of overlap between disease and poison. There are both poison (25) and disease (78) opcodes that provide damage over time, but there are also ways to inflict poison-type damage. As such, these three are meant to provide for three circumstances: something that protects against disease should just use cd_immunity_disease_arrays, which will turn immunity to the disease opcode (78) into protection from the disease icon as well as the 'Diseased' and 'Stricken by a foul disease' strings. Items that just protect against poison (i.e. the Periapt of Proof against Poison) should just use cd_immunity_poison_arrays, which keys off an immunity to poison and prevents the poison and bleeding icons, prevents the 'Poison' and 'Poisoned' strings, and uses the protection from poison icon. Items which protect against both disease and poison, such as the Ring of Gaxx, should run all three macros. cd_immunity_poison_resistance_arrays simply adds 100% reduction from poison damage, but only if the item/spell/creature already has immunities to both disease (78) and poison (25).Immunity to Entangle - cd_immunity_entangle_arraysThis will key off of an immunity to the entangle effect and prevent the entangled icon. Since entanglement spells typically provide subsidiary penalties (i.e. movement rates and AC penalties) most entangle spells are explicitly blocked--otherwise the target would get immunity to entangle, but still get other penalties. Immunity to Fear - cd_immunity_fear_arrays This will key off of an immunity to either horror (24), morale modifier (23), or morale break modifier (106). It will add immunities to all three of these as well as curing existing fear, prevent and remove the panic icon, display the resist fear icon, disable the 'Panic' string, prevent the horror spinny-head animation, and reset morale. Immunity to Feeblemind - cd_immunity_feeblemind_arrays This will simply prevent the feeblemind icon if an immunity to the feeblemind effect is found. Immunity to Grease - cd_immunity_grease_arrays This will simply prevent the grease icon if an immunity to the grease effect is found. Immunity to Haste - cd_immunity_haste_arrays This will key off an immunity to the haste effect and will prevent the 'Hasted' string as well as the haste icon. Since most haste spells include other effects (i.e. fatigue), explicit spell protections against common haste spells are also added. Immunity to Hold - cd_immunity_hold_special_arrays or cd_immunity_hold_arrays Run these two arrays in tandem, the special array preceding the regular one. This will turn an immunity to one of the three hold effects (109, 175, or 185) into full-blown immunity. The macro will add immunities to hold (175) and paralyze (109); however, if there is not already an immunity to opcode 185 (special hold) one will not be added. Opcode 185 is generally used by spells for special situations and spells/items/creatures should, in general, not be immune. The macro will also prevent the hold icon, prevent the 'Held' string, and disable two common animations for hold effects, spmindat.vvc and spflayer.vvc. Immunity to Invisibility - cd_immunity_invisibility_arrays This will simply prevent the 'Invisible' string if an immunity to invisibility effect is found. Immunity to Invisibility Detection - cd_immunity_invisible_detection_arrays This will simply prevent the 'Dispel Invisible' string if an immunity to detect invisibility effect is found. This will help prevent invisible creatures used for various hacks and other tomfoolery from revealing themselves. Immunity to Kill Target - cd_immunity_kill_target_arrays This will simply prevent the 'Vorpal Hit', 'Death', and 'Undead Destroyed' strings if an immunity to kill target (13) effect is found. Immunity to the slay effect (55) is handled by cd_immunity_slay_arrays instead. Immunity to Level Drain - cd_immunity_level_drain_arrays This will key off an an immunity to level drain effect and prevent the level drain icon, display a negative plane protection icon, and prevent the strings 'One Level Drained', 'Two Levels Drained', 'Three Levels Drained', 'Four Levels Drained', and 'Five Levels Drained'. Immunity to Petrification - cd_immunity_petrification_arrays This will simply prevent the 'Petrified' string if an immunity to petrification (134) effect is found. Note that paralyze (109) is handled by cd_immunity_hold_arrays. Immunity to Psionics - cd_immunity_psionics_arrays This macro will key off of an explicit immunity to any of the 17 psionic spells in BG2 and make sure that all 17 are covered: spin542 (psionic disintegrate), spin543 (psionic inflict pain), spin544 (psionic superior invisibility), spin545 (psionic life drain), spin546 (psionic inertial barrier), spin547 (psionic project force), spin774 (psionic maze), spin775 (psionic mind blast), spin804 (psionic emotion: kill), spin834 (psionic blast), spin909 (psionic ego whip), spin910 (psionic domination), spin911 (psionic ballistic), spin912 (psionic detonate), spin959 (ulitharid psionic blast), spin974 (psionic blast), and spin975 (mind flayer domination). There is one special psionic (spin727) that is used to provide a warning in the BG2 sewers that is excluded from protection. Immunity to Polymorph - cd_immunity_polymorph_arrays This will add explicit protections from Polymorph Other, Sphere of Chaos, and wild surge: polymorph to any immunity to polymorph effects. Immunity to Silence - cd_immunity_silence_arrays This macro will key off an immunity to silence and prevent the silenced icon as well as the 'Silence' and 'Silenced' strings. Immunity to Slay - cd_immunity_slay_arrays This will simply prevent the dying icon if an immunity to slay (55) effect is found. Immunity to the kill effect (13) is handled by cd_immunity_kill_target_arrays instead. Immunity to Sleep - cd_immunity_sleep_arrays This will key off of an immunity to either sleep (39) or the power word: sleep (217) opcodes. It will provide immunity to both as well as preventing the sleep icon and the 'Sleep' string. Immunity to Slow - cd_immunity_slow_arrays This will key off an immunity to the slow effect and will prevent the slow icon. Since slow is generally accompanied by a lot of related effects, explicit immunities to common slow spells are also included. Immunity to Spell Level - cd_immunity_spell_level_1_arrays through cd_immunity_spell_level_9_arrays Broken out as nine arrays, these will detect any sort of immunity to spell levels and add all relevant protections by level. This mainly addresses area-of-effect spells which typically bypass these immunities (skull trap working against globes of invulnerability is probably the best-known example of this) by adding explicit immunities to these spells. The level 4 array is currently empty but can be run anyway. Immunity to Spell School - cd_immunity_abjuration, cd_immunity_alteration, cd_immunity_conjuration, cd_immunity_evocation, cd_immunity_necromancy Similar to the Immunity to Spell Level, above, these eight arrays will detect an immunity to a specific spell school and add explicit protections from area-of-effect spells in that school. Since there are no spells in their schools which fall into this category cd_immunity_divination, cd_immunity_enchantment, and cd_immunity_illusion are not enabled. Immunity to Stun - cd_immunity_stun_arrays This will key off an immunity to stun (45) or power word: stun (210). It will prevent both opcodes as well as prevent the stun icon and the 'Stun' and 'Stunned' strings. Immunity to Web - cd_immunity_web_arrays This will key off an immunity to web and will prevent the webbed icon and the 'Held' string. Since web generally uses the paralyze opcode (109) to freeze its target, immunity to paralyze is also added. Remove Fear - cd_fear_removal_arrays This removes all effects of fear, but does not provide an ongoing immunity to fear effects. This macro keys off of an effect with opcode 161 (fear removal) and adds a removal of the panic icon. On EE games, this macro will also add explicit removal of the Horror spell (spin105 and spwi205) to remove the spinny-head animation. For immunity to fear, use cd_immunity_fear_arrays instead. Transformation Arrays - cd_spell_transformation_arrays and cd_spell_transformation_human_arrays For shapeshifting abilities, such as a druid's innate shifts or those provided through spells such as Polymorph Self or Shape Change, many actions are required to keep cruft from previous transformation from accruing. Both arrays will clear out all abilities from previous polymorphs (allowing you to add the new ones without interference). The return-to-human arrays (cd_spell_transformation_human_arrays) also clear out any special paws as well as restoring all of the normal buttons (talk, spellcasting, etc.) that shifting back to human provides. Elven Sleep/Charm Resistance - cd_elven_sleep_charm_resistance function Unlike the other arrays listed here, this one is a standalone function and is invoked as so: COPY ~MyMod/itm/MyItem.itm~ ~override~ LPF cd_elven_sleep_charm_resistance END This one is different from the rest in that it should only be run on items or spells which cause sleep or charm effects, and only ones to which (half-)elves should resist. This will add all of the effects needed to allow elves (90%) and half-elves (30%) their normal chance to resist charm or sleep. It will detect the sleep or charm effect and add effects to call the relevant EFFs, adjusted for the probabilities and targeting of the underlying charm/sleep effect. Please note that, while the effects are added, they will not actually provide immunity for elves and half-elves unless another source, such as the BG2 Fixpack, provides the EFF files. (You are welcome, of course, to include the EFF files in your own mod--grab all of the cdelfxxx.eff files from the bg2fixpack/copy folder.) Quote Share this post Link to post

There are many objectives in a battleground. In fact there are several objectives for running an battleground in and of itself.
Objectives of running a BG:
- Honor: Honor = gear, gems and other stuff.
- Arena Points: the 1st random BG each day award you arena points. You need Arena Points to get some of the better PvP gear.
- To Learn: you learn to kill effectively, you learn situational awareness, you learn how to hate the enemy, you learn so you can:
- Have fun: the better you get and your team mates perform, the more fun you have. Some of the best BGs I have been in were losses… I told you about one a while back.
Objectives when running a Battleground:
- Capping Towers & Bunkers
- Recapping Towers and Bunkers
- Capping Graveyards
- Capping Resources
- Killing bosses
- Blowing gates
- Destroying demolishers
- Disarming bombs
- Touching relics
- Capping workshops
- Destroying Towers
- Running and Capping Flags
- Protecting your flag carrier
- Stopping enemy flag carriers and returning flags
- Protecting your healers
- Killing or CCing their healers
- Winning the Battleground
I could go on, but now is the time to make one thing very, very clear…
Midfield is NOT an objective!
It is just a means to an end.
- Field of strife – not an objective
- Roads – not an objective
- Graveyard farming – not an objective
- Farming WSG midfield – NOT AN OBJECTIVE!
More Honor for doing right than taking (and losing) needless lives
Let's get another thing straight, you will get more honor from a quick win than farming honor – at least if you entered through the random daily option. You get more honor for winning ANY battleground through the random interface that most people got in a good Alterac Valley previously. You get more honor for losing a WSG than your did for winning one previously.
If people stuck to the plan, most battlegrounds would be over in 10 minutes and you would be queuing for MORE. You can do 3 WSGs – right, in the time it takes to do one wrong!
We can't cap if you can't return
If you are new to battlegrounds, you may not be aware that us holding the enemies flag is not enough.. we need to hold our flag as well. If the enemy has it… well that right there is wasted time.
I was in a WSG the other night where I was Offense… and I was defense. To be fair I had the assistance of a Resto Shaman for the 5+ minutes I held the flag at our base, fighting off waves of Horde trying to take it back, in between spamming
Get our F'n Flag!
The good news is that the Alliance took down the enemy flag carrier and I capped.
The bad news is that the only reason we did, was that the enemy flag carrier left the boring uncontested safety of his own base to go honor farming as well. I doubt anyone intentionally took down the flag carrier… I dare say his raptor tripped and he broke his neck in the fall.
All down hill from there.
Unfortunately from then on I was defense. I was the one chasing the flag carrier down into their base. I was the one trying to stop them leaving our flag room. 8-9 other people just milling about in the mid-field doing diddly-squat.
We lost… it took a long time.. I was pissed off.. I had to re-queue knowing that I was probably facing another bunch of players that don't know the difference between a football ground and a goal post.
Midfield is not an objective!
You have probably been told that if you control midfield you control the game.
This is true, but you need to add in why you are controlling mid-field.
You are controlling midfield to:
- Help you flag carrier get to the enemy base by distracting the enemy.
- Slow the enemy flag carriers giving your side precious seconds to cap 1st – preferably stopping them in their tracks
- Help your flag carrier make it back through the mid-field with your flag
- Stop the enemy flag carrier getting back through the midfield to their base.
That's it…
that's the only reasons you should be in midfield!
If you flag carrier is in trouble you should quit the midfield to help!
If the enemy flag carrier has made it to their base, you should quit the midfield to get the flag back!
If you can see it, call it.
If you can see the enemy flag carrier, call it out…
Can't call it out, too busy doing uber dps?
Once you have called it… GET IT!
If I die in the flag room I make a point of waiting to see if the enemy flag carrier has gone down the tunnel. If they have I call:
If they haven't I call:
ramp or gy.
Then I release, then I pwn them no matter which direction they are heading.
Why don't you join me?
If I can do it, you can do it and probably better.
I'm just a poor little gnome.. you guys are big and forceful.
Apply that force in the right manner and we will win.. Win… WIN!
I can run the flag.
I can take down a flag runner
You can too!
BTW: Thanks for all the honor I receive from your farming… yeah I get that too!
Grrrrrr! It just happened again… I so want to smack you people around the head until you play the game… to win.
Gnomer and Out!

WOODSTOCK – Kevin Charles relishes a challenge.
Charles, 39, is a construction engineer for the McHenry County Division of Transportation and a combat engineer officer in the Illinois National Guard, where he holds the rank of captain.
Raised in St. Lucia, he immediately joined the Virgin Islands Army National Guard in 1994 after moving to St. Croix.
"For some reason, I always wanted to be a soldier," he said. "The first thing I did was join the U.S. military."
Not surprisingly, basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina came as a shock after growing up in the West Indies.
"Coming from St. Lucia, I had never seen a weapon – only in movies," he said. "I couldn't shoot to save my life. I was always the last one at the range."
But his marksmanship eventually improved. He attended New York State Officer Candidate School and was commissioned in 2001.
Charles has since completed four tours in Afghanistan. There he helped expand the Kandahar Airfield and tracked the use of improvised explosive devices to plan safe travel routes. On later tours with the Army Corps of Engineers, he oversaw more than $240 million in construction projects near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The projects included building roads, schools, airfields, and border patrol stations.
In 2011, he was awarded the Bronze Star for his work in support of Operation Enduring Freedom while serving as the Sharana Resident Office representative for the Afghanistan Engineer District-North.
"Personally, I think I did a decent job, but was it deserving of a Bronze Star?" he said. "My superiors thought so, but would I give myself a Bronze Star for what I did? Probably not."
Before Charles took over, soldiers couldn't get out to oversee the projects the Army Corps of Engineers was paying contractors to build.
"They had no way of setting eyes on those projects," he said.
Corruption is a major problem in Afghanistan and some contractors would submit pay requests for work that hadn't been completed.
"I actually found ways to get our guys out to those projects," Charles said. "It was dangerous, but we were able to actually see what was going on."
That allowed the Army Corps of Engineers to be more efficient with the money it spent, he said.
Charles has worked on several road projects in McHenry County since joining the Division of Transportation in 2006.
When asked about recent accomplishments, Charles said he was most proud of his work on the $1.36 million Blivin Street Bridge Replacement Project in Spring Grove.
The project was hampered by utility relocation issues and other setbacks. The contractor hit a high-pressure gas line in September 2011, which prompted authorities to close Spring Grove Elementary School for a day. Crews also ran into an aquifer, which created further obstacles for engineers.
Charles embraced these problems and worked to find solutions.
"I expect challenges – that's what I love about engineering," he said. "It wasn't your regular road paving project. It's easy putting a drawing on paper, but going out and building it is a lot more challenging."
At St. John's University in New York, Charles spent his first two years studying accounting before deciding to switch to engineering. He said he couldn't handle dressing up and reporting to an office every day.
"I'm more of a field person. That's why I love the military," he said. "I'm not an office guy."
Charles was nominated for the "Best Under 40" award by his wife, Irma, who wrote "his actions reflect distinct credit upon him, the United States Army, the people of Afghanistan, the state of Illinois, and McHenry County."
A proclamation approved by the McHenry County Board last year said Charles's "dedication to public service in McHenry County and to the United States of America
is exemplary."
Age: 39
Occupation: Construction engineer with the McHenry County Division of Transportation and combat engineer officer with the Illinois Army National Guard
Residence: Lake in the Hills
Hometown: St. Lucia, West Indies
Family: Wife, Irma Charles
Education: Bachelor's degree, civil engineering, Polytechnic Institute of New York University; master's of business administration, Northcentral University. Currently working toward a doctorate in engineering and technology management
Favorite McHenry County restaurant? Outback Steakhouse in Crystal Lake
Favorite movie? "Gladiator"
One word that describes you? Optimistic
Best Under 40: Kevin Charles

So, let's jump right into the cards I have to share today! This first card is based on 2S4U Laura's Sketch 44, and on 365 Cards: 3 R's challenge (red, rhinestones & ric-rac). I also used one of the latest seasonal Cricut cartridges called "Lovestruck". They are far less expensive than the bigger cartridges because there are no features (ie: shadow, blackout, etc....) and there are fewer cuts. And this one is just awesome! I will be using it again on more Valentine projects in the near future. I really recommend it if you are a Cricut fiend (hint, hint Carla...tee hee!).
Instructions: Fold black cardstock in half to make card base. Round the top corners of a block of red heart paper and adhere to the front. Tie red twill and black ric-rac around the bottom of the card. Tie a button around the bow with twine. Round the top corners of the journal tag. Cut the four love sentiment strips from patterned paper and adhere to the front. Cut the lips at 3" from red cardstock using a Cricut Expression and Lovestruck cartridge. This cartridge does not have a blackout feature, so trace the outside of the lips cut to pink cardstock and cut by hand. Cover the pink blackout cut in glitter, and adhere the red cut to the top using dimensional adhesive. Attach the entire piece to the journal tag, and adhere the entire block to the front of the card. Accent with red and black jewels.
This pastel beauty is based on FTL #75 (sketch- turned longways), Color Chef #36 (dark pink, light pink & white), and TPE #51 (polka dots, bow & pink). More Crush papers....what I love most about these is all the journal tags, diecuts, and text strips are all just sheets of patterned paper. One side normally includes the item you can cut out, and the other side is a matching patterned paper. So- you have multiple choices. For a crafter on a budget (like I am)...papers like these are a dream. Love them!
Instructions: Fold pink cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Round the bottom corners of a block of white cardstock and emboss using the Cuttlebug and Love Languages embossing folder. Adhere the block to the front. Tie ribbon around the left side, and accent the bow with a pink pearl heart and a jewel crown. Round the bottom corners of a block of pink houndstooth paper and adhere to the front. Cut out three love themed tickets from patterned paper. Add the rub-on letters to the polka dotted ticket and adhere all three to the front, using dimensional adhesive on the middle ticket. Accent the bottom ticket with a small pearl heart.
And the last card I have to share with you today is based on Get Sketchy #22 and C4C21 (Pretty In Pink). The angel winged heart cut is from the "Hello Kitty Greetings" cartridge....which I ♥♥♥! It has some of the cutest cuts on them, and as you can see...they don't all have the Hello Kitty character on them. That is what I actually love about most of the licensed carts....they have tons of really cute cuts that don't really have anything to do with the licensed character.
Instructions: Fold white cardstock in half to make the card base. Round the corners of a block of pink dotted paper and adhere to the front. Cut a block of red heart paper in a triangle half, and add a black & white striped scalloped strip to the edge. Round each of the three corners and adhere to the front. Adhere the journal tag to the lower right corner of the card. Cut the winged heart layers at 1 3/4" from black, pink & white cardstock using a Cricut Expression and the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. Glue the pink layer (heart) to the black cut. Glitter the white wing cuts and adhere to the black cut using dimensional adhesive. Attach to the journal tag, and embellish with a chipboard heart, sentiment strip, and red heart jewels. Add letter stickers to the top of the journal tag, replacing the "C" with a pink heart jewel.
So, how has your week been going? Mine is good- a little off schedule because Josh had yesterday off and then starts his overnights tonight. The carpet is getting replaced in his store, which means almost two weeks of overnight shifts for him. So- my days are going to be a little turned around...although he will now be sleeping much of the time I am awake. So- I might get back to my regular schedule a little bit...we shall see!
I finally got the chance to watch this movie on Sunday:
Well, I am going to get going for now! I hope you are happy to be at the middle of the week! ♥
Until later,

From his Fat Possum bio:
R.L. Burnside was born in Lafayette County, near Oxford, Mississippi in 1926. As a young man R.L. moved North into the neighboring Marshall County and began sharecropping. Inspired by John Lee Hooker's '50s hit "Boogie Chillun'," R.L. began singing blues and playing guitar. In addition to the Hooker 45 rpm there were other local forces that influenced R.L. as well, such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Ranie Burnette.Burnside's first recordings were for the Arhoolie label in the late 1960s. For two decades, he played with the Sound Machine, a band which included his sons Joseph and Daniel, as well as son-in-law Calvin Jackson.
Fed up with the hopelessness of sharecropping, Burnside migrated to Chicago in hopes of finding economic opportunity. Chicago did not work out. In the span of one month R.L.'s father, brother and uncle were murdered. ... Around 1959 he returned to Mississippi to again work the farms and raise a family. He also started to play music at night and on weekends.
In the early 1990s, Burnside was featured in "Deep Blues," a documentary film based on Robert Palmer's classic book of the same name. Palmer later produced Burnside's Too Bad Jim album for the Fat Possum label.
Burnside remained open-minded when it came to modern music; two of his more recent albums were A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (recorded with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and Come On In (which combined blues and electronica).
I was fortunate to hear (and meet) Burnside one summer night in 1995 at The Bottom Line in New York City. This is what I wrote at the time for Request magazine:
R.L. Burnside is seated center stage with a guitar in his lap, but this isn't MTV Unplugged. The 68-year-old Mississippi native's amp is cranked. The room is rocking.Check out Too Bad Jim for some of Burnside's best blues.
Burnside is doing what he does best -- working a one-chord riff back and forth into a sensual groove -- during the opening night of the Fat Possum Mississippi Juke Joint Caravan in New York City. The tour, which also features Junior Kimbrough and David Thompson, continues through September.
Burnside and Kimbrough are well-known neighbors in Mississippi's northern hill country; Kimbrough runs a popular juke joint in Chulahoma off Highway 4. While both guitarists are labeled "traditional" players, they are neither nostalgic nor conservative musicians. Rather, they have resisted outside influences and kept their music vital -- a living, breathing tradition that continues to evolve.
Unlike most modern blues musicians, Kimbrough and Burnside wouldn't grandstand if you paid them. They rely on gritty hip-shaking rhythms, and though both players draw from the region's musical history, their presentations are very different. Burnside's raw, emotional slide work compels you to dance to even his most morose blues, while Kimbrough's songs of unbridled lust are eerily somber and pensive. His minimalist grooves are unlike anything in modern blues, flowing thick as molasses, enveloping the listener like quicksand.
Burnside and Kimbrough rarely play outside the South, although Burnside has appeared at various festivals and toured Europe. The Caravan also is a family outing for Burnside, whose 18-year-old grandson, Cedric Jackson, plays drums behind him. The immensely talented Jackson flew into New York a few hours before show time; his high school exams allowed him to miss the 27-hour (mostly unair-conditioned) bus ride from Mississippi to Manhattan.
Backstage, Burnside and Kimbrough laugh off the length of that trip. They're looking forward to giving the rest of the country a dose of what fuels Kimbrough's juke on Sunday nights.

DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players Association, has asked for an inquiry into the tardy exchange of contract documents that led the Broncos to release defensive end Elvis Dumervil.
The union has retained lawyers to look into possible remedies.
The Broncos released Dumervil on Friday because paperwork of his revised contract that included a 2013 salary cut from $12 million to $8 million was not filed by the 2 p.m. deadline.
Meanwhile, Dumervil is a free agent.
"I've been fielding calls from other teams," said Marty Magid, Dumervil's agent. "It looks like he'll be taking visits after the GMs get back from the owners' meetings."
NFL owners, top executives and head coaches will gather in Scottsdale, Ariz, for the NFL meetings Sunday through Wednesday.
There is history of the union coming through for a player in such an instance. A paperwork gaffe occurred to Terrell Owens in 2004 and the league and NFLPA wound up allowing T.O. to have his way.
In 2004, Owens voided the final three years of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers, a move that was to make the receiver a free agent. However, Owens' agent, David Joseph, didn't file the paperwork in time and the league ruled Owens remained 49ers property.
When it was believed Owens was a free agent, he agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Eagles on a contract that paid him a $10 million signing bonus. However, the 49ers technically held Owens' rights and they traded him to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a second-round draft pick.
NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw fought to rescind the trade to Baltimore and declare Owens a free agent. Upshaw won. The resolution was complicated with a three-way trade worked out, but Owens wound up with Philadelphia.
The Broncos asked the league office Friday if it would honor the verbal agreement on a restructured contract the team negotiated with Dumervil. The league rejected the request. Now Smith is going to look into the matter because with so much blame going around as to how the contract exchange was botched, it was the player who may have been most hurt.
Friday, Dumervil agreed to a $4 million salary cut in 2013 in exchange for that reduction getting added into his 2014 and 2015 salaries. His new 2014 salary of $10.5 million also includes a $3 million injury guarantee that was agreed to by both parties – but not so far as the league office is concerned because it did not receive the formal documents.
Had the Broncos not released Dumervil by the 2 p.m. Friday deadline, his $12 million salary for 2013 would have become fully guaranteed.

> module Haskore.Composition.Trill where > > import qualified Haskore.Music as Music\end{haskelllisting} A \keyword{trill} is an ornament that alternates rapidly between two (usually adjacent) pitches. Let's implement a trill as a function that take a note as an argument and returns a series of notes whose durations add up to the same duration as as the given note. A trill alternates between the given note and another note, usually the note above it in the scale. Therefore, it must know what other note to use. So that the structure of \function{trill} remains parallel across different keys, we'll implement the other note in terms of its interval from the given note in half steps. Usually, the note is either a half-step above (interval = 1) or a whole-step above (interval = 2). Using negative numbers, a trill that goes to lower notes can even be implemented. Also, the trill needs to know how fast to alternate between the two notes. One way is simply to specify the type of smaller note to use. (Another implementation will be discussed later.) So, our \function{trill} has the following type: \begin{haskelllisting}
> trill :: Int -> Music.Dur -> Music.T note -> Music.T note\end{haskelllisting} Its implementation: \begin{haskelllisting}
> trill i d m = > let atom = Music.take d m > in Music.line (Music.takeLine (Music.dur m) > (cycle [atom, Music.transpose i atom]))\end{haskelllisting} Since the function uses \function{Music.tranpose} one can even trill more complex objects like chords. The next version of \function{trill} starts on the second note, rather than the given note. It is simple to define a function that starts on the other note: \begin{haskelllisting}
> trill' :: Int -> Music.Dur -> Music.T note -> Music.T note > trill' i sDur m = > trill (negate i) sDur (Music.transpose i m)\end{haskelllisting} Another way to define a trill is in terms of the number of subdivided notes to be included in the trill. \begin{haskelllisting}
> trillN :: Int -> Integer -> Music.T note -> Music.T note > trillN i nTimes m = > trill i (Music.dur m / fromIntegral nTimes) m\end{haskelllisting} This, too, can be made to start on the other note. \begin{haskelllisting}
> trillN' :: Int -> Integer -> Music.T note -> Music.T note > trillN' i nTimes m = > trillN (negate i) nTimes (Music.transpose i m)\end{haskelllisting} Finally, a \function{roll} can be implemented as a trill whose interval is zero. This feature is particularly useful for percussion. \begin{haskelllisting}
> roll :: Music.Dur -> Music.T note -> Music.T note > rollN :: Integer -> Music.T note -> Music.T note > > roll d = trill 0 d > rollN nTimes = trillN 0 nTimes\end{haskelllisting}

for Sunday, January 4, 2015
As part of our spiritual growth, we need to be reminded at times that
spiritually, we are Jewish. In order to understand our Christian faith, we
must also have some understanding of the Jewish faith. Epiphany is a
wonderful time to renew a bit of this connection. Epiphany means simply
that God is made manifest, God appears, God is revealed. Actually at the
mundane level, an epiphany can be anything that is made manifest, that
appears or that is revealed.
For us who follow the Lord Jesus, Epiphany is when the divinity of Jesus is
made manifest, when that divinity appears or when it is revealed. We often
this of this Epiphany celebration in relationship to the Three Kings:
Jesus being made manifest as God to kings or wise men who have come from
far distant lands.
For us there is still the spiritual challenge: can we recognize this
Savior of the Jewish people as our personal Savior and the Savior of all?
When we do recognize Jesus as our Savior, when we have that Epiphany in a
personal way, we begin to rejoice because the Lord has come to us and we
have recognized Him. Our lives begin to be transformed as we seek to live
in relationship to the Lord that we now recognize as our Savior and the
Savior of all.
Thus as we celebrate this great Solemnity of the Epiphany, we rejoice that
God became man and lived among us. We rejoice because faith has allowed us
to see the face of God. We rejoice because we are called to adore Him and
be transformed by Him. Alleluia. Your light has come, the glory of the
Lord shines upon you.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

John Britliff is my wife's 3x great grandfather. His name appears in records under various spellings – Britliff, Britliffe and Britcliffe. There are also numerous transcription interpretations from the census returns on both Ancestry and Find My Past. This certainly makes finding and following the family a bit tricky sometimes.
John was born about 1800 in or around Bonby, North Lincolnshire. I have his mother as Mary Britliff but have not been able to find a record of who his father might be.
On 26 November 1821 John married Sarah Rack in North Kelsey, Lincolnshire. They had at least ten children between 1824 and 1840.
In the 1841 census the family are living at North Owersby, Lincolnshire and John is working as an agricultural labourer. There are eight children at home.
About twenty months later tragedy occurred as reported in the Lincolnshire Chronicle on Friday 2 December 1842.
A Wife killed by her Husband – On Sunday last, a tragical event took place at North Gullum farm, in the parish of North Owersby, near Market Rasen. A labourer of the name of John Britcliffe had some angry words with his wife, when in the moment of passion, he first beat her with a leathern belt, and then brutally kicked her on the lower part of the body. The unfortunate woman, who was far advanced in pregnancy, survived this ill-treatment but a few hours. An inquest was held on the deceased on Monday, before Mr. Marris, coroner, and a post mortem examination of the body by Mr. Smith and Mr. Hutchinson, of Caistor, surgeons, and after a long and patient investigation, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, and Britcliffe has been committed under the coroner's warrant for trial at the next assizes. A family of nine children are left to mourn the loss of both parents.
We can never know what happened between John and Sarah to cause this terrible tragedy but certainly the lives of all the family were changed for ever.
In January 1843 a report in the Lincolnshire Chronicle says that "the seven children of John Britliffe, late of North Owersby, at present a prisoner in Lincoln Castle, on a charge of manslaughter, chargeable to the parish of North Owersby, were ordered to be removed to Nettleton, being their last legal settlement".
The children are likely to have been taken to the Caistor Workhouse.
John next appears in court on Wednesday 8 March 1843. The report of the hearing is in the Lincolnshire Chronicle of Friday 10 March 1843.
Manslaughter at North Owersby
John Britcliffe, 42, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of his wife, Sarah Britcliffe. The prisoner received a good character from Mr. Brooks, a farmer at Croxby. 10 year's transportation.
He was held in Lincoln Castle until the beginning of April 1843 when he was removed for transportation together with a number of other prisoners as the following report from the Lincoln Chronicle of Friday 7 April 1843 says.
TRANSPORTS – On Friday last, Lieut. Nicholson, governor of Lincoln castle, removed from thence the first portion of convicts sentenced to transportation at the last assizes, viz: to the Warrior hulk, Woolwich, John Nicholson, John Sims, John North, Edwd. Copeland, and John Butting for life; John Britcliffe, Leonard Boyall, and Ambrose Brown for ten years; David Dickenson and James Smith for seven years; to Pentonville model prison, William Potts and Hy. Scott.
There are various sets of records about convicts and transportation on family history and other websites. However I have not yet been able to find John Britcliffe in any of these. So I don't know where he was transported to – I am guessing Australia or Tasmania.
I really wanted to try and find out what happened after his transportation because eight years later John appears to be back in Lincolnshire. I have him in the 1851 census living at Hayes Farm in Redbourn and working as a shepherd.
This raises a whole host of questions for me, for example:-
- Did he really get transported?
- If he did get transported for 10 years how come he is back in England after 8 years?
- Did he get a "certificate of freedom" for good behaviour after serving part of his sentence?
- How did he afford the fare back to England?
Also in the 1851 census two of his children – Joseph (b 1840) and William (b 1839) are still at the Union Workhouse in Caistor.
The story becomes more interesting when this article about the Lindsey court sessions of 4 & 5 July appears in the Stamford Mercury on Friday 11 July 1851.
John Britliff, 50, who had been three times before in custody, was brought up, having been committed as "an incorrigible rogue and vagabond" for refusing to maintain his children. It appeared that the prisoner had left his family a burthen to the parish, which had spent £250 in their maintenance; but since he had been in prison he had paid £5, and as he now promised to do his duty to the children, he was liberated upon the promise, being warned that if he neglected to carry it out he would be liable to be committed again.
In 1857 John married Esther Smith at Caistor. And in the 1861 census they are living at Town Street, Waddingham, Lincolnshire. Also living with them is John's unmarried daughter Jane Britcliffe (b1839) and her daughter Sarah C Britcliffe (b1859).
John died sometime in the September quarter of 1862 – almost twenty years after killing his wife.
There is so much more to this story that I wish I could discover.

Police: Armed man shot after he opened fire
Investigation ongoing
A 24-year-old man was shot by Milwaukee police Saturday after investigators said he fired at them with a semiautomatic handgun.
VIDEO: Witness describes seeing gunman
Police said the pulled the man over at 10:20 a.m. in the 4800 block of W. Fond du Lac Avenue. Officers said the man tried to flee and caused a wreck with two other cars, but no one was hurt.
Police said the man ran away to a neighborhood on West Keefe Avenue and North 46th Street. An officer found him between two homes, and police said he fired at the officer, hitting a police squad car.
Investigators said the man then ran into an alley, where he fired at other uniformed officers. Two of the officers returned fire and hit the man.
According to police, the man was taken to a hospital where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
No officer was hurt.
Two contractors were working on a nearby home at the time of the shooting. Scott Briggs, one of the workers, told 12 News he encountered the armed man.
"He just immediately started shooting. It wasn't even a question of if he had any intentions or what his intentions were, he just started shooting at the officers and again he had the gun pointed at me as he walked through the yard, so I thought he was going to shoot me, which I'm grateful to God that he didn't," Briggs said.
Police said the man has a history of several drug and gun offenses. According to investigators, he is also wanted in connection with an armed robbery at a gas station on Milwaukee's north side in October.
The two officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing.

After 40 years in the Australian market this year, guess which has been Subaru's most successful badge? While the Liberty has been a strong seller for decades and the WRX has been Subaru's hero car for many years, the Forester SUV actually has sold the biggest numbers.
And why wouldn't it?
With Subaru's own figures showing the SUV market is almost 29 per cent up on last year, the Forester has gone from strength to strength in the past few years as buyers have opted for compact, high-riding station wagons to fill their needs.
Of the almost 170,000 Foresters sold in Australia since the badge's introduction in 1997, the hottest seller has been the third-generation car; a model about to be superseded by the fourth-gen Forester that goes on sale in Australia on February 1 next year.
An all-new car, the new Forester is bigger than ever and offers a better range of choices in driveline terms.
That in itself reflects the statistics that show as many as 39 per cent of all SUVs are now diesel-engined, while just 8 per cent of the passenger-car market relies on diesel power.
But the new Forester is probably the most far-removed from the jacked-up, conventional station wagon the first model represented.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but we wonder where that leaves the buyer who wanted a Forester for its versatility but didn't crave the butch looks of most of the competition.
That said, it still looks like a Forester from most angles, just a mighty big one.
That's borne out by the Forester's class-leading ground clearance figure of 220 millimetres. That makes for a pretty high floor (most noticeable in the rear seat) but a low transmission tunnel claws back some ground and the extra overall wheelbase (26 millimetres worth) means there's loads of rear seat leg- and knee-room.
The new car is also 35 millimetres higher overall, has 31 millimetres more shoulder room in the front, a 20-millimetre wider track and a driver's eye-point no less than 34 millimetres higher than before.
The luggage space is also usefully large, although not in the same realm as a Nissan X-Trail.
A bigger body usually means a heavier one, and the Forester is no exception. But use of high-strength steel and clever design mean that, depending on model, the weight gain has been pegged to between five and 38 kilograms.
That said, the range-topping diesel model tips the scales at 1600 kilograms.
Subaru's trademark all-wheel-drive continues but there's no longer a transfer case with low ratios for off-road work as there was in some versions of earlier cars.
In its place is what Subaru calls X-Mode, an electronic system that makes use of the centre differential, rear differential, brakes and traction control to give controlled descents in steep, low-grip terrain.
The old four-speed automatic has been consigned to history with a new CVT transmission on the 126kW 2.5-litre petrol engine and a six-speed manual on 110kW 2.0-litre petrol variants.
Both gearboxes claim far greater efficiency than before and, in official testing, the new Forester scored a 12.9 per cent fuel-economy boost in 2.5-litre form and a 22.6 per cent gain as a 2.0-litre manual.
A range of refinements to the fuel-injection system has also helped in this department, although the basic architecture of both petrol engines is basically carry-over from the old car.
That applies to the 108kW turbo diesel engine, too, which, with the new six-speed manual, has shaved 1.7 per cent from its fuel consumption number.
The only real problem with the driveline line-up is that neither the 2.0-litre petrol nor the turbo diesel can be had with an automatic transmission, and the off-road oriented X-Mode system is available only on the 2.5-litre petrol model (which comes only with the CVT transmission).
Kicking off the range is the 2.0i followed by the 2.0i-L which adds Subaru's adaptive SI-Drive to control the engine and transmission behaviour.
Moving up to the 2.5i adds dual zone climate control and X-Mode while the 2.5i-L gets you Subaru's Eyesight collision-avoidance system, paddles for the transmission and tinted glass. Opting for the 2.5i-S brings a motorised tailgate, powered driver's seat, huge sunroof, rainsensing wipers, automatic headlights, smart key, satnav and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The base-model diesel also gets dual-zone climate control while the top-rung diesel, the 2.0D-S, mimics the 2.5i-S's specification.
But regardless of how much you have to spend, all Foresters now get a reversing camera, seven airbags, Bluetooth for both phone and audio, USB connectivity and a full-size spare wheel.
The lack of a two-pedal layout for both the base-model petrol and turbo diesel won't do the new Forester any favours whatsoever.
It's not alone in not having a diesel-auto option, but this omission remains to cruel its chances with would-be buyers.
Pricing remains a closely guarded secret with the launch still two months away, but the smart money suggests a small increase on the price of the current Forester, which is between $32,990 and $50,990.
Watch for a more performance oriented turbocharged petrol model a few weeks after the release, which promises a tweaked 2.5-litre version with CVT transmission to appeal to those who want their SUV with added spice.

I'm sorry to say that Kate Swift died Saturday at age 87. That handbook helped me start my writing career on the right foot, and that footprint is all over this blog--and the rest of my writing and speaking. Swift and her co-author wrote that, once they realized that the use of all-male pronouns was coloring our view of women, they could hear "the implicit biases in spoken and written English, highlighting the time-honored phrases 'all men are created equal' and 'land where our fathers died,' the persistent identification of women by Miss and Mrs., and the journalistic habit of describing women as divorcées or blondes, who might be pert, dimpled or cute." (Back in the day, we were taught that the male pronouns were "universal" ones, and could be used to refer to any gender or to both genders. Seriously.)
Her obituary notes that some of their suggestions took--we don't call flight attendants stewardesses anymore--and some didn't. But there's no doubt her work changed the landscape. Speakers and speechwriters can still use many of the book's suggestions to good effect. If you aren't thinking about using non-sexist language, it's easy. Try these tactics:
- Rewrite all-male pronouns out of your sentences: You can reorganize them out of the sentence: Instead of "Ask each person what he wants," try "What do your readers want? Ask them."
- Alternate to even the gender balance: Alternate female and male pronouns, and put the women first. If you're talking about what CEOs should do, some of them should be "she."
- Check your adjectives: If you're referring to women with diminutive descriptors or talk about their appearance, but not about how the men look, even things up.
Looking back, I feel certain the seeds for this blog were sown when I picked up that book--I still have the first edition. Thank you, Kate Swift. (A hat tip to the Hello Ladies blog for sharing the sad news.)
