Ten random predictions for 2017
*some restrictions apply
So to business:
1) Gold to break through U$1,400/oz in the course of 2017. I'm setting a higher bar this time, $1.4k looks a long way away here at the back end of 2016, but once the Trump Honeymoon wears off and people realize his macro policy is dollar bearish money is going to return to gold. That's the call and it also means IKN expects an excellent year for the precious metals stocks.
2) Copper to break through U$3.10/lb this year. This is also a weak dollar play in part, but it's more about China and the way its economy will pick up as 2017 goes on. I've gone for U$3.10/lb (spot price) to make it just a little more interesting than the more obvious $3.00 line.
3) Uranium will finally put in a rally and move back above U$30/lb. It's been such an easy call to fade the U-Permabulls these last three years, but even stopped clocks get it right twice a day and the one thing we can comfortably predict from a Trump presidency is a new focus on uranium. If you discount the way it turns glass those pretty green colours it only has two real uses and both are likely to get more play from this new Prez.
4) Goldcorp (GG) to merge with Agnico Eagle (AEM). Because Garofalo and Boyd are BFFs, because one has cash and a shitty asset book, because the other has assets and a lack of cash, because GG has been an abject failure in the last three years and David needs to do something before the activist shareholders come around begging for his head.
5) Colombia to become the LatAm mining success story of 2017. The country is finally getting its formal mining ducks in line, FDI will like the roll-out of the peace deal, there are already some good stories there that will get better.
6) Venezuela's government to implode. This is a repeat prediction from last year and one that failed me, but Maduro can't hold on much longer and the oft-delayed recall election is going to be difficult to put off for another year. Once again the acid test of this call will be the ousting or resignation of Maduro, if that happens I win the point.
7) Mauricio Macri and his government to lose heavily in the Argentina mid-term elections. Some happen in August, the big batch in late October/Early November (final date not set yet) and we expect Macri to be a lame duck president once it's all finished. Sergio Massa the likely beneficiary.
8) Juan Martín Del Potro to win at least one Grand Slam tournament in 2017 (Oz, R.Garros, Wimbledon, US). After years in the injury wilderness Delpo returned in style in 2016, first from his near-miracle run in the Olympics, then improving on the Tour, then leading Argentina to its first ever Davis Cup. Now we await the consecration and the long-overdue second GS win.
9) Barcelona to win the 2017 Champion's League and Spanish Primera double. Real has a decent head start on Culé in the league right now, but In Leo We Trust. And by the way, no half points available on this call, both have to happen else it's zero points for me.
10) The UK will not invoke Article 50 before the end of March 2017, the way its PM May said it would just a few weeks ago. The sooner you realize Brexit is one big red herring, the better.
There you go, our Ten For The Prize in 2017, expect the usual postmortem post around next Christmas.
The five most popular Friday OT posts of 2016
Gold will rally into the New Year
UPDATE: Gold up U$13/oz since this was published, which is a nice start to the rally. But there's more to come.
Just when you thought Porter Stansberry couldn't be more of an asshole...
Dear Reader,The most common complaint we get from our readers is that we advertise too much.Perhaps you think this is true...It may surprise you, but I wish we didn't advertise so much as well.Though I'd never apologize for aggressively getting the word out about Casey Research, I'd prefer to devote all our resources to financial analysis... in an ideal world.Here's the thing, if I did that we'd quickly go out of business and everyone would lose out. So it will never happen.However, there is a way for you to "switch off" 99% of our advertising...I can't guarantee the odd ad won't slip through somewhere, but the vast majority of our advertising will be banished from your inbox with this...You simply need to become a Casey Platinum member...With Platinum, you get everything we publish, for life... and for a massive discount on what we normally charge for our research.What that means is, there's nothing more you can buy from us, and that means no ads.In fact, this could be the last ad you ever read from us...But no advertising is a tiny benefit compared to everything else you get as a Platinum member...The real value of Platinum is that you get all of our moneymaking research, every single alert, issue and recommendation... plus much, much more...See for yourself, right here.Regards,
Justin Spittler

Mining PRs and the Ottotrans™, Part 96
VANCOUVER, Dec. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: SAND, TSX: SSL) is pleased to provide an update regarding activity under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") as well as exploration and development progress at a number of assets underlying the Company's streams and royalties.NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BIDSandstorm previously announced a NCIB (see press release dated March 30, 2016), providing the Company with the option to purchase its common shares when management believes that the common shares are undervalued by the market. The fourth quarter of 2016 has seen significant declines in the price of gold, impacting Sandstorm's share price and market valuation. As a result, the Company has recently purchased some of its common shares. Since December 15, 2016, the Company has purchased 545,977 common shares at a weighted average price of C$4.56 per common share.
We had a deal planned but it fell through and we didn't have anything else to do with the cash.
Stephan Bogner of Rockstone Research, Zimtu's whore
According to the Zimtu website Voltaic Minerals (VLT.v) is its top holding. This company happens to be covered by Rockstone Research and its coverage is paid for by Zimtu Capital.Next comes Commerce Resources (CCE.v). Somewhat by coincidence this company is also covered by Rockstone Research with coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Number three on its list of top holdings is Equitas Resources (EQT.v). And shock! Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then ALS Uranium (AL.v): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then Electra Stone (ELT.v): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then Arctic Star (ADD.v): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then MGX Minerals (XMG.cse): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then 92 Resources (NTY.v): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.Then True Leaf Medicine (MJ.cse): Covered by Rockstone Research, coverage paid for by Zimtu Capital.
More Argentina: Why Cristina won't ever go to prison
Argentina: Fallout from Macri's sacking of the FinMin
"...it's showing that the sectors of the international community who were prudent about Argentina ('s economic recovey potential) are right. The fact there has been no large influx of dollars as the (Macri) government expected indicates there was a certain amount of mistrust. The sacking (of Prat-Gay) ratifies this lack of confidence. We're going to see an Argentina that will probably be more volatile than it was this year. The challenges are going to be greater."
Reality bites: Results of the IKN "Ten random predictions for 2016"
- In 2013 we scored 5.5/10
- In 2014 we scored 6/10
- In 2015 we scored 5.5/10
1) Gold to break through U$1,250/oz in the course of 2016.
2) Silver to rally against gold and the gold/silver ratio will finally break under 70/1.
3) Uranium to go nowhere yet again.
4) Goldcorp (GG) to buy Lake Shore Gold (LSG).
5) Copper to go under $2/lb early year and to rally to $2.50/lb by the end of the year.
6) Venezuela's government to implode.
7) Keiko Fujimori to become the next President of Peru.SCORE: 0 point: Again, close but no cigar because by a thin 0.14% margin Keiko lost the second round run-off to Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. I could cheat and give myself a half point for being that close, I won't. Fail.
8) Usain Bolt to break the world record for the men's 200 metres in the final at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Because hero (and I'll be taking half points for a gold without a record that day).
9) England to win the Euro 16 European Football Championships.SCORE: 0 point: Abject fail. I mean, beaten by Iceland. Embarrassing.
10) Christopher Froome to win the Tour de France and retain his crown.SCORE: 1 point: Oh yeah. Froomy pwned them Frenchies.
And so...roll on the drums...
Primero Mining (PPP) (P.to) has fallen so far...
"TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - December 27, 2016) - Primero Mining Corp. ("Primero" or the "Company") (TSX:P.TO) (PPP) today announced that is has received formal notification from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of its non-compliance with the exchange's continued listing standards for minimum trading price."
- Reducing costs and returning operations to industry-leading profitability as historically reported at its flagship San Dimas mine;
- Delivering increased cash flow from its Black Fox mine with production focus on the high-grade Deep Central Zone;
- Exploring and identifying high quality mineral resources in and around our current mines and projects.
Gold: a pulse
- The technical analyst that studies gold and will tell you with exact certainty all the reasons why gold has performed the way it has in the past, then continue with a confident prediction that gold may go up, down or perhaps remain unchanged in the future.
- The idiot who pays attention to these charlatans and keeps them in business.
Argentina: Papering over the economic cracks only works for a while
UPDATE: Top Argentina political blogger Abel adds his dos centavitos: Excerpt:
"...that the exit of Prat-Gay was inevitable due to the friction caused by the recession, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate lag, the frustration of a economic policy that isn't showing the results that were expected."Full thing here.

Yamana Gold (YRI.to) (AUY) and Brio Gold: The shareholder rip-off of the year is rammed through
The final prospectus qualifies the distribution of an aggregate of up to 59,225,957 Brio Shares at a price of C$3.25 per Brio Share (the "Exercise Price") upon the exercise of up to an aggregate of 59,225,957 Purchase Rights, for aggregate gross proceeds to Yamana of up to C$192,484,360....
...Brio Gold will become a standalone public company effective as of the closing date of the Offering, with Yamana holding 46.3% (on a non-diluted basis) of the issued and outstanding shares of Brio Gold. The closing date of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 23, 2016.
"A total of 17,324,507 Brio Shares owned by Yamana were transferred pursuant to the transactions ...Yamana continues to be a significant shareholder of Brio Gold, holding approximately 85% of the issued and outstanding Brio Shares."
Derek and Clive news (KNT.v)
"K92 does not expect changes to the resource estimates provided in the prior Report and no changes in the pre-tax NPV. However, a post-tax NPV will be included in the amended report. When K92 acquired the Kainantu Project, it acquired significant tax losses and these losses and other related factors will be considered and utilized in the preparation of the after-tax NPV."
And I know what Derek and Clive would say.
Arizona Mining (AZ.to): Here's what he said
Jim Gowans: "We do have manganese in our zinc concentrate and that's been acknowledged since the first technical report that came out in February this year. I think just because of the errr...latest technical report because the resource has grown so large so quickly it's become much more on everybody's radar. Err, but the results have never been changed. We're currently going through...errr...metallurgical test work as you always do in work towards a feasibility study. We do know we have some manganese in our zinc concentrates. Our zinc concentrates on the whole are quite clean except for the manganese and its, it's variable in the orebodyAndrew Bell: "Brent Cook is one of our regulars, he and Joe Mazumdar run the website Exploration Insights. I'm going to give you a quick couple of quotes from Brent Cook who very kindly shared his comments on this. He said, "The article forced the company to advise the market about this issue". He also says. "We don't think preliminary results are a fatal flaw for Arizona Mining", however he does go on to say, "This will force the company to manage risk by reducing the manganese content in its final concentrate and working with smelters that are capable of blending down the content, which will no doubt add costs and risk". So can I ask you one thing, were you slow to disclose this manganese issue prior to the website raising it?"Jim Gowans: "No, we put it out in our technical report from the metallurgical test work that you saw. And that technical report from October was actually put out in February this year. I think they just errr..became more aware errr...errr..with all the conversation everybody looking at our stock. Err, we do know there's a problem...errr...you know about certain amounts in zinc concentrates, so we're working on our metallurgical test work at (place name) to see what can be done..errr...with that...err any of our conversations we've had and, you have to understand that we've had all the major mining companies have been to the site and looked at our core...err...they've looked at our results and everybody from South Deep, Teck errr...Rio Tinto and all the big companies that are interested in the orebody have been around and looked at that. We've never had anybody say that it's an insurmountable (problem), we do know that's it's an issue, so we'll just have to make sure that when we're selling our concentrates we do it well. The...the...errr..manganese in low amounts is a good thing in processing zinc in the electrolytic process, but high amounts it just causes some downtime and some interference in the processes. But in our conversations with all our people and concentrates sales people, we do know we'll get some penalty in the amount, it's very small, 1% to 2% of the total value of the concentrates, but nobody's ever come close to saying that it would be a not-saleable concentrate, because other than that it's very clean."

The Tuesday quiz question
Argentina mining: The false dawn
Argentina: Das Neves spells it out in ChubutWe've followed the declarations of Chubut governor Mario Das Neves on mining quite closely on these pages, as the province is one of the clear testing grounds of Argentina's supposed new attitude towards mining and home to the big Navidad project owned by Pan American Silver (PAA.to) (PAAS). The national Macri government has aggressively promoted mining in the region, with its known anti-mining governor Das Neves being guarded up to this point in his responses. But not any more. While visiting the nation's capital Buenos Aires on December 13th last week, Das Neves took the gloves off and spelled it out for all to hear (9) while participating in a press conference on the opposition tax reforms that were passed by the lower house and are about to the debated by the Senate of governors (of which he is one). He said (translated), "In Chubut there isn't going to be any mining investment because we are going to defend the environment and the quality of life of our people". And to make sure the message got through, on the 14th on his return to Chubut Das Neves said (10) (translated), "In this province we are not going to allow mining company investments because we want our people to live well and to care for the resources of Chubut".If we consider these statements in the light of the proposed Federal Mining Agreement (see IKN394 and IKN395) which needs people such as Das Neves to sign on and is already delayed, the inertia in mining reform is now palpable. The sooner the North realizes it's been sold a false story about the imminent opening of the whole of Argentina to the mining industry, the better.

Chart of the day is...
Shocked! Shocked ah wuz! Argonaut (AR.to) San Antonio permit denied
All the meta-twaddle and nonsense you read above was prompted by reading GMP's call on Argonaut Gold (AR.to) this morning. They like the thing, want you to buy it and even resort to the puerile "it's a smart money buying opportunity right now" argument to get your ego stirring and you on the phone to the trading and compliance desks. Thing is, GMP and IKN could argue the toss about its valuation call on the AR.to numbers (1.15X of NAV8% is rich as hell for this thing, guys) but when it comes to its pol risk call on what's happening in Mexico, they're just being plug dumb stupid. The subject is again San Antonio in Baja California Sur State, and the line GMP uses is..."We continue to take a conservative approach, estimating production beginning in Q4/15."Woah! Stop! That is not a "conservative approach". The true conservative approach is estimating production that will never begin and removing the $1.30/share NAV estimate for that "asset" (word used loosely, because in fact it's the exact opposite, a liability) from the calculation. Expecting San Antonio to ramp up in 2015 and calling that a "conservative" estimate shows a complete and utter lack of understanding about the political risk factors around the project, even if you decide to disagree with IKN's own "never gonna happen" call. It's the hallmark of a nodding dog analyst who cannot speak Spanish, hasn't bothered to read up on the local situation, has no clue about the type, strength or depth of the opposition to the project and has limited their DD to a phone call to the IR department to find out the company's own viewpoint and repeated it verbatim to brokerage clients.
Eldorado Gold (ELD.to) (EGO) in December, IKN in September
Remember this September 6th IKN post? It went like this:
"The next news from Eldorado Gold (ELD.to) (EGO) now that the Jinfeng mine deal is closed and the company has got the cheque, will be the exit of president and CEO Paul Wright who is about "to be resigned" by its board. Shouldn't be too long."
VANCOUVER, Dec. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado" or the "Company") today announced that Mr. Paul Wright will retire from his position of President and Chief Executive Officer following the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting in April 2017. Continues here.
So, 63 and "retired"? You're kidding me, right? IKN kung fu is strong.
Calvin & Hobbes explains today's market
Remember, ladies and gentlemen...
So here's my question about Arizona Mining (AZ.to) and manganese
- With further work done, they claim to be able to optimize the concentrates to create a cleaner product (regrinds, treatments etc).
- They also claim that the penalty they'd incur on Mn content is "approximately 1%" of the value of the concentrate "and is therefore immaterial".
More GMO on Arizona Mining (AZ.to), zinc, manganese, things like that
I mean, who reads Forward Looking Statements anyway?
"Although Arizona Mining has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking information, there may be other risks, uncertainties and other factors that cause performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended."

Hey, remember this post back in April?
Here's a chunkette from the script:
"...changes, framed as "design enhancements" by OGC in its February 2016 NR, are anything but that. Those that really know about these things believe Haile has turned into a migraine-level headache for OGC, with overruns in capex and timeline to production (first ore through the mill was supposed to happen 4q16...kiss that goodbye)."
Now compare that to the news out of OGC this morning on Haile:

Because if there's one thing that Tommy Humphreys, two-faced scamster and purveyor of paid-pump bullshit to greenhorn idiots, knows about, it's provocative misleading headlines and one-sided articles. GMO should wear it as a badge of honour.
PS: To fully understand Tommy Humphrey's petulant little outburst, three items to consider:
- Richard Warke is Frank Giustra's pally pal and business partner.
- Tommy Humphreys is Frank Giustra's poodle.
- Tommy speaks up when given orders from his owner.

Jay Miller's 40-year coaching career is the culmination of a life of competition and mentoring at every level of soccer. With a BS and MED in health and physical education from East Stroudsburg University, Jay began his career at Lebanon County High School, where he won the state championship, a first for the school. Later, coaching at the collegiate level, Jay led the University of Tampa to their first national title. As head coach for the University of South Florida, Jay won three conference titles.
Jay has served as a national teams coach and coaching instructor for the United States Soccer Federation since 1978. He has contributed to several technical reports for competitions, including the 1994 World Cup, 1996 Olympic Games, and the 1999 Women's World Cup. His international coaching includes qualifying the U-17 national team for the 1997 World Championships and serving as a national coach for the U-18, U-20, U-23, and full national teams. Coach Miller represented the U.S. State Department's Sports Envoy Program as an instructor and coach on tours to Morocco, Bolivia, and Thailand.
In 2012 Jay joined New England Revolution Professional Soccer Club as the first assistant. The following year the Revs returned to the MLS Playoffs after a four-year absence.

I've seen the 85 K100 refered to as the "FYK" or Finest year K. Is it really that good? Why?
I've seen the 85 K100 refered to as the "FYK" or Finest year K. Is it really that good? Why?
That's pretty funny. The 1985 K100s, were, in a lot of ways, their own bike. They have a different seat and tail cone combo along with some other differences, one of which is different cams. I think..Originally Posted by Tarren Shaw
Anyway, Don Eilenberger had one and dubbed it the FYK quite a long time ago. Looks like the name stuck.

Some bikes. Some with motors, some without.
Absolutly its the finest year. I got one.
Seriously the '85 K-model is probably the simplest to work on, no ABS, 2-valve engine, lightest?, at that time its dependability was unknown,as now we know its good for 200,000mi.
All I know for sure is, if you keep it well maintained it will give you good dependable service for a very long time, unlike a certain Triumph that I know of.
Bruce C
hey now EZ on the sheep referances, We all know that K bikes SUCK and yes the white ones were the fast ones. Me thinks it was the only year without ABS.
I don't know about others but...got my 85 k new 6/85 rode the wheels off it or at least tried to,did mostly all my own maintanance & had a trouble free,except for a speedo,affair w/ my silver mistress for 16 yrs & about 150k mi. Then I met a sluty little R1150r.and ya know how the story goes..I still see my ex now & then she seems happy in her new relationship & I'm still geting to know my new"date" but I wouldn't mind dancin w/the old gal again...contrary to myth the silver ones are fastest!!!
the older I get the faster I used to beOriginally Posted by mechanic savant
Dave is absolutely correct. The story is kinda funny.Originally Posted by KBasa
I was asked to give a K-tech session at the RA National Rally in Greenfield MA some years ago. (Dave was Chair of that rally..)
At the time, I owned an '85 K100RT, and was somewhat defensive about the scorn heaped upon the '85's by owners of later K's.
During the tech session, several people made somewhat disparaging remarks about the '85 K.. and finally in response to one of the remarks I sarcastically said "Oh - you mean the FINEST YEAR K?"
It got rather a large laugh and I thought that would be the end of it.. but I started referring to my K as the FYK100RT in messages to the IBMWR mailing list.
The name stuck. I started seeing it used in ad's for '85 K bikes, it started appearing in people's SIGs on messages, and questions like this started popping up - "Why is the '85 the Finest Year K?" I've even seen it used in articles in a certain national club magazine
As Paul Harvey would say - now you know the rest of the story..
Oh - the '85 K100's had one advantage over later K100's (until the 4V engine) - they were the "fastest" ones. They had a euro intake cam (except in California) that gave a real 90HP. Starting in '86 all K100's received the California intake cam that gave about 5 less HP - but BMW never changed the specifications.
There were some features that BMW did improve with later K100's - heat management was generally better (but still awful on an RT) and buzz/vibration was reduced a bit... but the '85 bikes were a real bargain since you could usually find one for $1,000 or more cheaper than the same bike as an '86. This changed as the FYK rumor spread

'12 R1200R - I love this bike!
The 85 K100RT I had was indeed ÔÇ£the finest yearÔÇØ. Aside from the dreaded ÔÇ£buzzÔÇØ the motor gave you on the highway, the bike was reliable as a hammer. I later sold it to upgrade to a 93 K1100LT but the motor on the 85 seemed to be tighter than the 1100.
I have to admit I like the 1100 better overall.
Absolutly, the white ones were faster because you got there faster, due to every body in front of you probably thought you were a cop tailing them and pulled over to get out of your way.Am i for real...matthew
Ha! I've enjoyed reading all the responses to my original question. I've seen the '85 called the FYK by at least 4 different people in as many different places, and now I know the rest of the story!
My friend Tim Balough had a silver '85 K100RS. He and his wife Linda ("Last Year" R100CS) and I ('81 R100RS) rode from Indianapolis to the 1986 'MOA at Laguna Seca together and I was very impressed with how his K made torque in any gear. I challenged him to do the slow hill climb into Laguna Seca in 5th gear and he did it with ease.
He did have instrument cluster problems, which I understand were quite common with the early K, and his fuel gauge quit working somewhere in the Pacific Time Zone.
He was leading as we rode through Utah and kept passing gas stations at a point where Linda and I were pretty sure he needed fuel.
Finally, Linda hailed him on the helmet-to-helmet communicator, "When do you plan to run out of gas?"
"Right about here," he replied as his engine quit and he coasted to the berm.
Linda emptied a plastic saline solution bottle she carried for contact lenses and they used it to transfer enough gas from her bike to his to get to the next gas station.
Here's the proof:

Sorry, no - dunno the PN.. but have you played with www.realoem.com - perhaps spec'ing an '85 euro model for the lookup?

'12 R1200R - I love this bike!
A high percentage of the '85s imported had the California cams. The easiest way to ID them-assuming you could find an unmolested example-would be to check the emmisions label under the seat; if it has the hotter cams, it will say 49-States on it.
It is probably possible to ID them via a code on the cams. I don't recall them having part numbers on them.

High stakes for tomorrow night's debate… The town-hall format could prove or disprove that Romney is out of touch with middle-class concerns… What changed and what didn't since the first debate… What if it's the demography, stupid?... Ryan campaigns in Wisconsin and Ohio, while First Lady Michelle Obama is also in Ohio.
*** High stakes: With new national polls (Washington Post/ABC, Politico) showing a very close contest between President Obama and Mitt Romney, as well as tightening battleground-state internals that we've heard about, the stakes for tomorrow night's debate couldn't be any higher, especially for the incumbent president. Not only is there a sense of urgency for Obama to be more aggressive at this second presidential debate, the town-hall format presents an opportunity and challenge for Romney: It will either prove the Obama argument that the GOP nominee is out of touch with middle-class concerns, or it can help knock it down. We know Romney has been practicing for this debate out in the open (holding town halls, interacting more with voters). The president actually hasn't done a town hall in a LONG time, let alone interact with actual reporters (but we digress). There's the joke that tomorrow's debate is the most important one since the last one -- or until the next one. But kidding aside, there's a strong argument this debate is the most pivotal with next week's debate destined as a coda (since it's a one-topic debate on foreign policy).
Although President Obama has been more likeable in polls, Mitt Romney has had a lot more recent practice in town hall settings. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
*** In touch or out of touch? What Romney accomplished with the first debate was to get into the game -- make the playoffs, if you will. What this debate now provides him is an opportunity to blow up the stereotype that he doesn't understand the plight of the average American. This is THE reason the president has a firewall of sorts in the Midwest, and it's why this debate is so crucial for him. If he can't amplify the message his campaign has been making for months about Romney at a debate that features real people, then how is a third debate going to help? And while polls (including our recent NBC/WSJ/Marist surveys of the most important battleground states) have shown only a small movement, we've now reached the stage of the race when the small movement matters.
President Obama and Mitt Romney have been studying in virtual seclusion, preparing to fend off questions that have dogged their campaigns. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
*** What changed and what didn't since the first debate: According to the new Washington Post/ABC poll (conducted Oct. 10-13), some things DID change since the first debate. Per the poll, 35% say they have a better opinion of Romney (vs. 14% who have a worse opinion and 48% who say their views are unchanged). That's compared with 19% who have a worse opinion of Obama (vs. 9% who have a better opinion of him and 70% who are unchanged). Also, Romney voters say they are more enthusiastic about their candidate than they were last month. But here's what DIDN'T change: Obama is up by Romney among three points among likely voters, 49%-46% (compared with 49%-47% before the debate), and seven points among registered voters, 50%-43% (vs. 49%-44% last month). What's more, Obama's approval rating is at or above 50%, where it was in September. The same dynamic is true of the new Politico/George Washington University poll -- Romney is viewed as more likeable, while the head-to-head matchup is essentially unchanged.
How will this week's town hall debate format benefit and work against both Mitt Romney and President Obama? What to make of the recent round of polls? NBC News' Chuck Todd joins Morning Joe to discuss.
*** What if it's the demography, stupid: One of the more powerful undercurrents of this election has been the demographic advantage for the Democrats that every poll has found, with the degree of the advantage dependent on enthusiasm levels. The bottom line: Demography is an advantage for President Obama -- and a challenge for Mitt Romney. Our pollsters did an in-depth look at these fundamental shifts using all of the data we've collected over the last four month for the national NBC/WSJ poll. Our pollsters merged the numbers among likely voters from our two post-convention surveys from September, as well as our pre-convention June, July, and August polls and treated them as separate MEGA-surveys to compare with the 2008 exit poll. The results: Obama has seen erosion among men, whites (especially white independents), Midwest voters, and independents from what we saw in the 2008 exit poll. But that erosion has been offset somewhat by gains among Latinos (winning them 66%-32% in '08 vs. 67%-25% June-Aug. and 71%-22% in Sept.), Democrats (from 89%-10% in '08 to 92%-5% June-Aug. and 93%-5% in Sept.), and union households (from 59%-39% in '08 to 59%-36% in June-Aug. and 61%-34% in Sept.).
Reuters, Getty Images
In the final push in the 2012 presidential election, candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama make their last appeals to voters.
*** What to watch for on Election Night: But most remarkably, Obama has remained steady with African Americans (95%-4% in '08, 95%-3% June-Aug., and 93%-3% in Sept.) women (from 56%-43% in '08 to 52%-42% June-Aug. and 54%-42% in Sept.) white women (46%-53% in '08 vs. 42%-51% June-Aug. and 43%-54% in Sept.), and young voters 18-29 (from 66%-32% in '08 to 53%-42% June-Aug. and 60%-35% in Sept.). This is all a challenge for Romney: If he is hitting numbers among these demographic groups close to what John McCain got four years ago -- when he lost 53%-46% -- it will be very difficult to keep Obama below 50% on Election Night. So three weeks from now, when you're looking at the early exit polls, these demographic numbers will be important to follow: Is Obama winning Latinos by more than 66%? Is he up by double digits with women? Is he is in the 60% range with the youngest voters? And is he getting 40% of the white vote? If the answer is yes, you're looking at an Obama victory; if it's no, that's what a Romney win looks like.
Carolyn Kaster / AP
President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign fundraiser at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami, Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, in Miami.
*** How much of Romney's gains have come from red states? So here is where Romney has made inroads since the '08 exits, according to our merged data: with men, independents, and Midwest voters. And here is where Obama's coalition is pretty much intact (or better): with African Americans, Latinos, and women. But here is something to chew on regarding Romney's inroads: How much of it is coming from red states that won't decide this election? In 2008, McCain won the red states, 55%-43%. Yet our merged numbers show Romney up there 56%-37% in June-Aug. and 58%-38% in September. That's compared with relatively stable numbers in the Democratic states (which Obama won 60%-38% in 2008 and where he was 56%-38% in June-Aug. and 60%-36% in September) and in the swing states (50%-48% for Obama in '08 vs. 49%-43% in June-Aug. and 48%-48% in September). Also, another area where Romney has jumped up from McCain's '08 number -- white evangelicals. Again, most of those voters reside in the red states.

Principal's Message
The Little School on the Hill
Mt. Diablo Elementary School was founded in 1862 as a two-room, wooden building situated on the hill above the center of Clayton. Though the original location of that "little school on the hill" is only an historical memory identified by a stone marker in the playfield, the original bell used to call students to class currently resides in the bell tower over the school's main office and can still be rung. Just as over 100 years ago each day was begun with a salute to the flag, each day now is begun with a Pledge of Allegiance.
In 1865, the school had 41 students and only one teacher. Today, Mt. Diablo is one of the largest elementary schools in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, with over 800 students and a staff of 28 fully credentialed teachers. Our school has a deep commitment to educational excellence. Expectations for student achievement are high, and the realization of those expectations is reflected in high student performance on state standardized test scores.
It is clear that, in 1862, the founder of Clayton, Joel Clayton, understood the importance of education for all its citizens when he sold a parcel of land for $1.00 to be used for a "public school." That tradition continues. The Mt. Diablo Elementary School community recognizes that each student must become a successful learner according to the terms dictated by our complex society. The importance of education for the "whole child" is recognized and supported by the entire community within which the school resides, from parents to local businesses. High parental involvement is welcome and has created a stable and strong PFC, one that is committed to providing the support needed to fashion a quality educational experience for our students.
I am proud to be a member of the Mt. Diablo Elementary School community. I look forward to helping educate our children to the best of our ability, so that they can grow up to participate in society to the best of their ability.
Mrs. Linn Kissinger

CSULB holds training workshop on teaching the Holocaust
CSULB holds training workshop on teaching the Holocaust
By Kelly Puente Staff Writerpresstelegram.com
Posted: 08/09/2012 06:32:27 PM PDT
August 10, 2012 4:20 AM GMTUpdated: 08/09/2012 09:17:52 PM PDT
LONG BEACH - Educating children about a sensitive subject like the Holocaust can be a difficult task for teachers, said high school history teacher Kerrin Conroy.
"You want to get the kids interested and teach it in a way that makes it real for them, but you don't always get the time to delve deep into these subjects," said Conroy, a 10th- and 11th-grade history teacher at St. Matthias High School in Downey.
On Thursday, Conroy was one of about two dozen teachers hoping to deepen their knowledge of the Holocaust in a special teacher workshop at Cal State Long Beach.
Holocaust education is a state standard that is usually taught in the 10th and 11th grades.
The annual workshop, now in its third year, was designed by Cal State Long Beach professor Jeff Blutinger to help K-12 teachers gain a better understanding of the Holocaust and improve the way they teach the Nazi genocide to students.
The workshop is a free, weeklong intensive-training course that features talks from Holocaust survivors, lectures and a visit to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. Teachers receive a $100 stipend and up to two units of service credit.
Blutinger said the idea for the workshop came from local Holocaust survivor Gerda Seifer, who approached the CSULB Jewish Studies Program in 2009 with the initial donation.
Each year, the workshop features a different theme, such as "Children in the Holocaust," and "Art and the Holocaust."
This year's theme, "Human Responses to the Holocaust: Victims, Perpetrators, Bystanders and Deniers," focused on the experiences of those affected by the genocide. The workshop looked at not only the victims, but also the thoughts and feelings of the bystanders who watched as millions were marched off to death camps.
Blutinger, a history professor, noted that the majority of people in Europe neither helped nor hindered the Nazis.
"It's hard for me to understand the indifference," he said.
Conroy, the Downey teacher, said the workshop gave him a deeper understanding of the people whose lives were changed by the Holocaust. This school year, he plans give his Holocaust lessons a more personal touch by focusing on the victims and survivors.
"I think it will help students connect on a more personal level," he said.

Loading Clock Preview...
"Torchlit Stone" Clock
Type : SevenGem
Description :
The clock's display is short and stocky. The clock has a nice amount of padding at the edges. There is a good amount of space between the digits of the clock's display, so the digits have plenty of breathing room. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is very opaque. The color of the edge glow is close to black, with a hint of dark green and maroon. It is fat and extends close to the center, leaving just a window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to khaki, with a hint of pale goldenrod and navajo white. The color at the top right corner is close to dark olive green, with a hint of dark slate grey and saddle brown. The color at the bottom left corner is close to maroon, with a hint of dark red and saddle brown. The color at the bottom right corner is black. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are very opaque, but one may still see a hint of what is beneath them. Their color is close to dark khaki, with a hint of peru and goldenrod. There is a negative gap between the digit segments, which results in them overlapping. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The direction of the shadow is between south-southwest and southwest. The shadow is offset very slightly. The shadow is extremely blurred, so that it is soft and blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The shadow has a fair amount of spread, adding strength. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is completely opaque, and should feel very strong. The digit segments have two inset shadows. First, let's describe the first of the inset shadows. The direction of the shadow is southeast. The shadow is offset by a modest amount. The shadow is quite blurred, and its outline is not so clear. The color of the shadow is close to misty rose, with a hint of antique white and linen. The shadow is quite transparent, and subtle as a result. Now, let's describe the second of the inset shadows. The direction of the shadow is northwest. The shadow is offset by a modest amount. The shadow is blurred a lot, so that it blends nicely into the surroundings. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is very opaque, and should feel quite strong.
The SevenGem clock combines a seven segment display for the digits, a four corner color smooth gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, border width, border radius, segment thickness, segment gap, two inset shadows, and one drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.

Hello everyone. I'm an atheist interested in counter-apologetics. Are there any Jews or Christians (or ex-Jews or ex-Christians) visiting here who have come across any Biblical contradictions or inconsistencies for which you have not found a satisfying answer to? If so, could you please post them here for discussion?
Views: 1751
Hi Mantiki,
Well first of all I'd say that trying to find contradictions in the Bible is almost always the wrong strategy, simply because, even if the Bible was consistent or didn't contradict itself (which shouldn't actually be that hard of a feat), that still wouldn't mean that it was divinely inspired. By trying to disprove their claim you are implicitly saying that you've accepted the legitimacy of their claim in the first place.
Also, most Christians don't have any problem recognizing that there are inconsistencies and contradictions in the Bible. It's really only the most literalist strain of Protestant theology that takes issue with that; Catholic and Orthodox theology is centered around the fact that the Bible can be inconsistent and can't be taken literally or at face value, and most intelligent Protestants have more or less gone along with this.
But anyway, a simple case of two inconsistent stories are Luke and Matthew's varying accounts on the genealogy of Jesus, the year of his birth and the birth narrative in general.
Good points, all. BUT many atheists who were once Bible-worshippers say that their faith began to crumble when they realized that there were parts of the Bible that simply could not be explained away. I was never one of those people but I will have to ask the next one I come across what Bible contradictions/inconsistencies were the ones that were most corrosive of their former delusions.
Hi Michael,
There are in fact four ways to see the texts: literal, symbolic, allegorical, and mystical. Much of the writings of the early church fathers is interpretation from the last of these.
Precisely! I'm glad someone else making this point, as too many on this forum let their experience with creationist or literalist strains of Christianity inform their critiques to an unhealthy extent.
We need quite a bit more of this big-picture view. Keep it up ;)
One contradiction that has had a direct physical impact on me is:
The concept that body modification is a sin because we are created in the image of god who is perfect so any change to that perfection is evil.... and yet almost the first thing you're supposed to do to your new boy child is to cut off a piece of his penis (the foreskin) to please god- a missing foreskin is supposedly his- gods way of branding his sheeple... So what? god forgot to get rid of the foreskin himself and needs you to cut it off for him!?
Personally I don't like most of the body modifications out there- hair removal is one exception to this general rule... but nothing comes close to the disgusting-ness level of routine genital mutilation.
Most fundamentalists will find a way to answer any Biblical contradiction, no matter how many convoluted mental hoops they have to go through to satisfy themselves.
There are plenty of Bible contradictions that are unanswerable by reasonable standards, that doesn't mean fundies won't find a way to answer it, however irrationally.
Stormi lists a bunch of good ones -I agree.
it's just the whole bible is a contradiction - I could just paste the whole book here.
He has yet to forgive Eve for eating the fruit.
Ha! That's good.
My favorite (which I wrote a paper on in high school in "Bible as Literature" class) is: where did Cain's wife come from and whose daughter was she?
Nothing is unanswerable to dedicated theist, but a few I find interesting are:
Christians go to heaven when they die, which is a place of eternal happiness which none of them will ever leave. Yet for some reason their powerful benevolent god was either incapable of creating such a situation in the first place or chose not to. Twice. (The devil lost his place in heaven then Adam and Eve evicted from eden)
If god is all powerful, then if he wants something (e.g. everyone to believe in him or all sins to be forgiven) all he has to do is click his fingers and it would be done.
If god knows the future, he chose to create the universe in such a way that it would inevitably result in him sending people to hell to be tortured for all eternity. Thus demonstrating that he is not benevolent. Where I am from, this is called criminal negligence.
The four gospels give three versions of Jesus' last words, son of god or not everyone only gets 1 set of last words per death.
What is nice about this one is that it is easy to find, if you want show someone a quick example of an obvious contradiction.

Some may assume that for Angelina Jolie, buying a gift for her partner Brad Pitt, the man who seemingly has everything he could ever want, would prove challenging. Well, this year Jolie upped the ante and reportedly bought the actor his very own waterfall and surrounding property in California.
Jolie's gift, which was for both Christmas and Pitt's 48th birthday, was inspired by a visit the couple took to Frank Lloyd Wright's classic house, Fallingwater, back in 2006. Pitt is said to have read about the 1935 home, which is built over a waterfall, in an architectural history class in college and had been curious about the Lloyd-Wright designed property ever since. According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, "Brad has always loved Fallingwater and his first trip there was unforgettable. Angelina wanted to get him something incredibly special, and because she knows how much he loves architecture, she thought this would be perfect."
U.S. & World
Jolie's hope is that the architecture-loving Pitt will design a home on the property that will eventually serve as the family's hideaway. In recent weeks, the couple and their brood of six have been spotted around Los Angeles, though it's unclear where the family is staying since Pitt recently sold his stunning Malibu crib to Ellen DeGeneres for $12 million.

Next week, Toyota will pull the cover off its Yaris Hybrid-R concept car.
Toyota unveiled a few glamour shots of the hybrid car ahead of its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10. Toyota said the new concept car is inspired by its hybrid race car and that shows the future of hybrid technology.
The car is powered by a 1.6-liter gasoline engine that is paired with two powerful electric motors, Toyota said in a release. Unlike the iconic Prius, this Yaris hybrid has plenty of power under the hood. The car's motors can combine to pump out more than 400 horsepower for five seconds or 340 horsepower for 10 seconds.
The car can also alter the distribution of torque between the left and right tires to improve handling.
Toyota did not release how many miles the car could get on a single tank.

Cache County Fallen Officers
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week.
In commemoration of this, we remember the officers of the law who have died while serving the citizens of Cache Valley and elsewhere. The following is a list of those that I'm aware of in the Valley:
Willard R. Dahle, Logan City Police Department, died May 4, 1929.
Deputy Alma P. Sorenson, Cache County Sheriff's Office, August 27, 1959.
Officer Edwin L. Edwards, Logan City Police Department, August 27, 1959.
Lieutenant James R. Merrill, Cache County Sheriff's Office, January 5, 1974.
Deputy Charles H. Dickey, Jr., Cache County Sheriff's Office, March 18, 1984.

He did it on Twitter, here. You have to copy and paste his link, but it's a video of me singing a song for my daughter after she died.
Sort of….So, after my daughter died of Leukemia in 2006 I was totally crushed. I couldn't sleep right for a year, and was really depressed. One thing that really helped pull me out of it after a year, something that was really cathartic, was this: I recorded a version of the heart-wrenching Jeff Buckley song (written by Leonard Cohen) "Hallelujah" in remembrance of Amelia. Doing that and making a YouTube video of me singing it really helped me be able to function again.
I actually only watched it a few times since 2008 when I made it. I can't really watch it. I haven't even checked comments on much.
I checked it out today finally, and noticed a bunch of comments on it from two years ago saying things like
I have never seen or heard such heartfelt love. I found this video after Roger Ebert commented on it on his twitter page. God Bless you and Amelia Laine Worth.
Found this as well via Roger Ebert's twitter. A very heartfelt and touching video, my condolences to the both of you.
Followed from Ebert's twitter. I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful tribute to your daughter.
Also found through Ebert's twitter. Very touching. I can imagine no better tribute.
I do know Ebert was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer around that time. The tweet said:
@ebertchicago: I found this completely by accident and was so deeply touched by its sadness and heartfelt love http://j.mp/cQreNj
It was a comment on the beauty of the emotion, not the filmmaking. It's FAR from my best filmmaking. FAR. It was done quick and dirty using a low-rez camera, actually an old still camera that could shoot a little video. My wife, DJ, did the camerawork and I edited it. Ironic that Ebert's probably never seen my actual films, and I am a filmmaker by trade, but it's nice that he mentioned this and Tweeted it.
Anyway, Ebert Tweeting my little film kinda made my day today, two 1/2 years after it happened. And I'm glad to see Ebert's still feisty and I hope he's Tweeting for many more years.

BENEFITING: Trinity Boston Connects
ORGANIZER: Trinity Boston Connects
EVENT: 2012 Boston Marathon
EVENT DATE: Apr 16, 2012
Trinity Boston Foundation Inc wrote -
Running the Distance for Boston Youth
Thank you for visiting the Trinity Boston Foundation's 2012 Boston Marathon Team homepage! Our team is raising awareness and funds for Trinity Boston Foundation, Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the odds for Boston youth. This year's event will be held on Monday, April 16, 2012.
Thanks to the John Hancock Non-Profit Marathon Program, this is the second consecutive year that Trinity Boston Foundation has received bib numbers for our Marathon Team. All proceeds generated from this year's team will benefit all of the high-quality youth programming the Foundation provides.
Help us reach our ambitious goal:
- Please consider making a donation. You can donate directly to one or more of our runners (see their individual pages below), or you can make a general donation to the entire team.
- Want to fundraise with our team, even though you are not a runner? That's still OK! Feel free to create a Crowdrise account and start asking friends and family to make a donation. Our team greatly appreciates your help!
Trinity Boston Foundation
Our mission is to change the odds for Boston youth. We are inspired to increase rates of high school graduation, college matriculation and completion, and to strengthen families and improve community health and safety.
Trinity Education for Excellence Program: TEEPoffers Boston Public School students a Roadmap to Excellence curriculum that to date has sent 100% of our six-year graduates to college. This tuition-free program operates year-round with high staff engagement and a belief that investment over many years yields the highest impact for students.
Trinity Boston Counseling Center: TBCC recognizes that mental health care and especially treating trauma, is essential to reducing rates of youth violence and incarceration. Staffed by licensed clinicians as well as interns from area graduate schools, we offer clients the opportunity to examine their lives and make positive changes. A majority of our clients live in high-poverty neighborhoods and we have developed a particular focus on working with youth committed to the Department of Youth Services.
Sole Train: Boston Runs Together: a running and mentoring program for Boston youth. We aim to inspire urban youth to realize their potential, and to achieve the seemingly impossible, by training for and running a half-marathon. Our goal is to build a safe, supportive community that believes in the promise of every member, where healthy habits are instilled, confidence and resilience are honed, and one's sense of connectedness and possibility is expanded. Nearly all participants begin with little, if any, running experience. In 2011 we had 23 youth and 25 mentors train with us. In 2012, we aim to offer the program to a minimum of 75 youth and 50 mentors on at least 3-4 teams.
Bostonians for Youth: Trinity Boston Foundation's annual fundraising dinner, which celebrates Boston youth and those who support them. Designed as a collaborative venture among multiple nonprofits, the vision is to encourage awareness and action around violence prevention and safe communities for Boston youth, and to celebrate a spirit of cooperation and partnership.

The beautiful Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, has a wealth of attractions for the visitor - fabulous ancient cities, extravagant tropical vegetation, delightful hill stations, glorious white-sand beaches and a charming friendly people steeped in the Buddhist faith. Apart from hundreds of miles of the world's most beautiful palm-fringed beaches, Sri Lanka boasts no fewer than seven World Heritage Sites listed by Unesco, ranging from sacred cities, palaces and cliff-top citadels to colonial strongholds, spanning close to 3,000 years of history.
Rupee (SLRs).
The island of Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean, to the southwest of the Bay of Bengal and to the southeast of the Arabian Sea. It is separated from the Indian Subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait.
Official Language is "Sinhala & Tamil"
"English" is the link language
The climate of Sri Lanka can be described as tropical and warm. Its position between 5 and 10 north latitude endows the country with a warm climate moderated by ocean winds and considerable moisture. The mean temperature ranges from about 16 °C (61 °F) in the Central high lands, where frost may occur for several days in the winter, to a maximum of approximately 33 °C (91 °F) in other low-altitude areas. The average yearly temperature ranges from 28 °C (82 °F) to nearly 31 °C (88 °F).

Acid MageEdit
The Acid Mage calls forth acid from deep within, using it to dissolve metal, flesh, and people's holds on reality. Sometimes all at once.
Making an Acid MageEdit
Acid Magi provide attrition and chaos. Healthy characters and strikers benefit from this.
Abilities: Acid Magi call forth acid with Constitution, hit with Dexterity, and use self-delusions with Intelligence.
Races: Insane, disturbing, and hungry races have some attraction to becoming Acid Magi. Thus, the races starting with "Gn" are included.
Alignment: Any.
Starting Gold: 2d4×10 gp (50 gp).
Starting Age: Moderate.
Class FeaturesEdit
All of the following are class features of the Acid Mage.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Acid Magi are proficient with simple weapons and light armor.
Acid Resistance (Ex): The Acid Mage has Resistance to Acid equal to twice his level.
Acid Spit (Su): As a standard action, the Acid Mage can spit acid at a target within 30' as a ranged touch attack. This deals 1d6 points of Acid damage, and the target takes an additional 1d6 points of Acid damage each round until he or she takes a move action to successfully make a Reflex save (DC 10 + half Acid Mage's Hit Dice + Acid Mage's Constitution modifier). Multiple instances of acid spit require separate move actions to remove, but all deal damage simultaneously (counting as only one instance of dealing damage for effects that care, and for Acid Resistance).
Excellent Stomach (Su): The Acid Mage can eat anything other than poison and gain nutrition from it.
Acid Drop (Su): At level 2, the Acid Mage can create an ingested poison called "Acid Drop" with 1 hour of concentration and 10 gp worth of acidic food or beverages. This poison is an ingested poison with a Fortitude save DC of 10 + half Hit Dice + Constitution modifier. This poison's primary damage is 1d4 + Intelligence modifier points of Wisdom damage, and its secondary damage is 1d4 + Intelligence modifier points of Intelligence damage. Any character who takes the primary damage becomes confused for 1 round per Acid Mage class level.
Acid Drop Lucidity (Su): At level 2, the Acid Mage gets a bonus to his Intelligence and Wisdom modifiers for the purpose of class abilities (for any class) equal to the amount of Intelligence and Wisdom damage he has taken from "Acid Drop".
Armor Dissolver (Su): At level 2, the Acid Mage deals double damage to objects with his Acid Spit. In addition, he may attack held or worn objects with Acid Spit. Treat this as an attack (not a touch attack) against the wielder that deals damage to the object instead of the wielder if it hits.
Assault of Madness (Ex): At level 3, when the Acid Mage is affected by the "attack caster" option of being Confused, he may instead act normally.
Ultra Cola (Su): At level 3, the Acid Mage can choose to have half the damage he deals with Acid Spit be Cold damage.
Hallucinatory Aim (Ex): At level 4, while the Acid Mage is confused, he gets a +2 bonus to attack rolls, and all of his effects that require a save have the DC increased by 2. The bonus to attack rolls and save DC's increases to +4 at level 14.
Projectile Vomit (Su): At level 4, the Acid Mage can choose to deal 1 point of Constitution damage to himself in order to either convert his Acid Spit attack into a 120' line, or increase the range of his Acid Spit by 240'.
Acid Attunement (Su): At level 5, the Acid Mage can pinpoint all acid within Long range of himself with a full-round action. This improves to a standard action at level 10, a move action at level 15, and a swift action at level 20.
Acid Breath (Su): At level 6, whenever the Acid Mage uses his Acid Spit attack, he can either deal 2d6 additional points of Acid damage on an initial hit, or convert his Acid Spit attack into a 20' cone.
Gibbering Magic (Sp): At level 7, when the Acid Mage gets the "Babble Incoherently" option of being confused, he may instead cast a random spell with a caster level equal to his Acid Mage level. The method for determining the spell is as follows: Roll a d6 to randomize domain, and then roll a d6 to randomize spell level.
|Roll on d6
|Trickery Domain
|Madness Domain
|Luck Domain
|Chaos Domain
|Mind Domain
|Liberation Domain
|Roll on d6
|Spell Level
|Class Level/2 - 2
|Class Level/2 - 2
|Class Level/2 - 2
|Class Level/2 - 1
|Class Level/2 - 1
|Class Level/2
Better Spit (Su): At levels 7 and 19, whenever the Acid Mage uses his Acid Spit attack, he can either increase its range by 30', or improve the amount of damage it deals by 1 point per die.
Boiling Acid (Su): At level 8, the Acid Mage can choose to have half of the damage he deals with Acid Spit be Fire damage. He cannot use this ability in conjunction with Ultra Cola.
Acid Gives You Wings (Su): At level 8, while the Acid Mage is suffering from Intelligence damage due to "Acid Drop", he gains a Perfect fly speed equal to his land speed minus 10'.
Bouncy Mind (Ex): At level 9, while the Acid Mage is confused, he automatically succeeds on all Will saves.
Dissolution (Su): At levels 9 and 15, whenever the Acid Mage uses his Acid Spit attack, he can either increase its repeating damage value by 1d6, or give it a +1 bonus to attack rolls and Reflex save DCs.
Acid Splash (Su): At level 10, whenever the Acid Mage uses his Acid Spit attack, he can have all damage dice be d8's instead of d6's, or convert his Acid Spit attack into a 10' radius spread within 30'.
Run Like the Mind (Sp): At level 11, when the Acid Mage gets the "Flee from caster at top speed" option of being confused, he may instead use dimension door to go in any direction he chooses.
Explode Acid (Su): At level 12, as a Standard Action, the Acid Mage can make any opponent who currently has Acid Spit on them within Long range make a Reflex save (DC 10 + Acid Mage's Hit Dice + his Constitution modifier). If the opponent fails the save, they take an amount of Strength damage equal to the Acid Mage's Intelligence modifier, and all other characters within 30' of them are now afflicted with 1d6 points per round of Acid Spit. On the bright side, that opponent is no longer suffering from Acid Spit.
Sizzling Acid (Su): At level 13, the Acid Mage can choose to have half of the damage he deals with Acid Spit be Sonic damage. He cannot use this ability in conjunction with Ultra Cola or Boiling Acid.
Acid Rain (Su): At level 16, whenever the Acid Mage uses his Acid Spit attack, he can either increase its range by 30', or make each character within Medium range take a Reflex save (DC 10 + half Hit Dice + Constitution modifier) or be hit by his Acid Spit.
Eyeblinder (Su): At level 17, whenever anyone takes acid damage from the Acid Mage, that character must make a Will save (DC 10 + half Hit Dice + Constitution modifier) or be Blinded for 1 round.
Disgusting Acid (Su): At level 18, the Acid Mage can choose to have half of the damage he deals with Acid Spit be Vile damage. He cannot use this ability in conjunction with Ultra Cola, Boiling Acid, or Sizzling Acid.
Drop the Continuity (Su): At level 20, while the Acid Mage is suffering from Intelligence damage due to "Acid Drop", whenever he would choose to move any distance, he teleports that distance instead.
Campaign InformationEdit
Playing an Acid MageEdit
Religion: Acid Magi appreciate religions that enjoy cavorting, feasting, hard drugs, and dissolving people.
Other Classes: Acid Magi are often somewhat caustic towards healers and Paladins, but they get along fine with illusionists.
Combat: Acid Magi like to stand behind their allies, go mad, and start spitting acid at the enemy.
Advancement: Acid Magi can multiclass fairly well with stealthy classes.
Acid Magi in the WorldEdit
|In a mere 200 years, I will dissolve the world! Mwahahahaha!
|—Slurfurus Gabrikon, Half-Fiend Celestial Elf Acid Mage
Acid Magi make excellent sculptors, dragon-slayers, and drug addicts.
Daily Life: Slurfurus Gabrikon tends to wake up in the morning, eat a hearty breakfast of grapefruits and lemon juice, and then starting vomiting on the edges of the giant sizzling hole next to his house.
Notables: Slurfurus Gabrikon, eventual obliterator of the world. Mintiru Sjrikek, dragon hunter and giggling berserker extraordinaire.
Organizations: Acid Magi tend to gravitate towards brightly colored places.
NPC Reactions: NPC reactions are quite varied, ranging from pure horror to mild amusement.
Acid Mage LoreEdit
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Arcana) can research Acid Magi to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
|Acid Magi are mages with control over acid.
|Acid Magi spray their acid in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they tend to have the best range or damage when just spitting at one target.
|Acid Magi are the source of the potent "Acid Drop", a potent hallucinatory drug that causes temporary brain damage. They're also particularly adept at being productive while under its influence.
|Powerful Acid Magi who are hallucinating have a tendency to distort reality.
