If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use turmeric or curcumin in medicinal forms without first talking to your health care provider.
A preliminary study suggests curcumin may help treat uveitis, an inflammation of the eye's iris. In one study of 32 people with chronic anterior uveitis, curcumin was effective as corticosteroids, the type of medication usually prescribed. More research is needed.
The following are doses recommended for adults:
In addition, curcumin lowers the levels of two enzymes in the body that cause inflammation. It also stops plaets from clumping together to form blood clots.

There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but results are still very early. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer. Its preventive effects may be because it is a strong antioxidant, protecting cells from damage. More research is needed. Cancer should be treated with conventional medications. Don't use alternative therapies alone to treat cancer. If you choose to use complementary therapies along with your cancer treatment, make sure you l all your doctors.
Turmeric in food is considered safe.
Drugs that reduce stomach acid -- Turmeric may interfere with the action of these drugs, increasing the production of stomach acid:
Early studies suggested that turmeric may help prevent atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque that can block arteries and lead to heart attack or stroke. In animal studies, an extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and kept LDL "bad" cholesterol from building up in blood vessels. Because it stops plaets from clumping together, turmeric may also prevent blood clots from building up along the walls of arteries. But a double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that taking curcumin, the active ingredient in turrmeric, at a dose of up to 4 g per day did not improve cholesterol levels. Cancer.

If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor before taking turmeric supplements. Turmeric may lower blood sugar levels, and when combined with medications for diabetes could cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Turmeric and curcumin supplements are considered safe when taken at the recommended doses. However, taking large amounts of turmeric for long periods of time may cause stomach upset and, in extreme cases, ulcers. People who have gallstones or obstruction of the bile passages should talk to their doctor before taking turmeric.
Because of its ability to reduce inflammation, researchers have wondered if turmeric may help relieve osteoarthritis pain. One study found that people using an Ayurvedic formula of herbs and minerals with turmeric, winter cherry ( Withinia somnifera), boswellia (Boswellia serrata), and zinc had less pain and disability. But it's impossible to know whether it was turmeric or one of the other supplements -- or all of them together -- that was responsible. Heart Disease.

Because turmeric may act like a blood-thinner, you should stop taking it at least 2 weeks before surgery. l your doctor and surgeon that you have been taking turmeric.
Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants scavenge molecules in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Antioxidants can fight free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and may interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a health care provider.
A relative of ginger, turmeric is a perennial plant that grows 5 - 6 feet high in the tropical regions of Southern Asia, with trumpet-shaped, dull yellow flowers. Its roots are bulbs that also produce rhizomes, which then produce stems and roots for new plants. Turmeric is fragrant and has a bitter, somewhat sharp taste. Although it grows in many tropical locations, the majority of turmeric is grown in India, where it is used as a main ingredient in curry.

Finding #8: After the significance of this event was apparent, Tornado Warnings and Severe Weather Statements lacked enhanced wording to accurately portray that immediate action was necessary to save lives with this tornado.
Recommendation #8: WFO warning forecasters should use wording that conveys a sense of urgency in warnings and statements when extremely dangerous and life threatening weather situations are in progress.
This recommendation is based on a very limited study of a sample of precisely one case (that of the Joplin, MO tornado). This is pretty minimal evidence on which to base changes to the warning system. I don't accept this recommendation as sufficient justification to tinkering with the wording in weather warnings. A primary rule when considering changes to a system that has saved tens of thousands of lives over its history: first, do no harm! There's no solid foundation of peer-reviewed science to support changes to the warning system. This is not to say that the existing system is perfect. Far from it, but the IBW experiement is not the way to identify and address the problems within the existing system.
Check out the IBW site to find the following statements regarding the "experiment" (using public warnings):
Project Goals
- Provide additional valuable infromation to media and Emergency Management officials
- Facilitate improved public response and decision making
- Better meet societal needs in the most life-threatening weather events
Do we have any evidence that the proposed changes will improve public responses? How will 'public responses' be measured in order to ensure that any improvement in responses has, in fact, been a result of these changes? And if we don't know precisely what are proper responses, will any changed responses necessarily be an improvement?
Just what are these 'societal needs' and how were they chosen? Again, how will the meeting of these unspecified needs be measured?
Intended Outcomes
- Optimize the convective warning system within the existing structure
- Motivate proper response to warnings by distinguishing situational urgency
- Realign the warning message in terms of societal impacts
- Communicate recommended actions & precautions more precisely
- Evaluate ability to distinguish between low impact and high impact events
Again, what is a proper response? And how will it be demonstrated the the proposed changes will accomplish motivating a proper response?
I thought the NWS was a weather forecasting agency, not an impact forecasting agency. In what way have forecasters been educated and trained to forecast impacts? Knowing impacts in advance is pretty difficult to achieve.
The topic of 'call to action statements' can be debated - even assuming this is a good thing to do, how will it be shown to be more "precise" communication? What is meant by "precision" of communication?
So there is no study that has actually shown the ability of weather forecasters to discriminate between high and low impact events? It seems pretty evident that until such a study has demonstrated that ability in a convincing way, this experiment is pretty ill-advised. Using the public as experimental subjects is not a good idea!
Enhance warning through
- Improve communication of critical information
- Make it easier to quickly identify the most valuable information
- Enable prioritization of key warnings in your area of interest
- Indicate different levels of risk within the same product
- Enable the National Weather Service to express a confidence level of potential impacts
Has it been shown in a broad-based, perr-reviewed study that the proposed changes will improve the identification of critical information. Again, how will the improvement be measured. How is the value of information to be determined?
Has it been shown in careful studies that it is possible to identify diferent levels of risk?
This is an ill-advised experiment at this time. Much more needs to be done before we start messing with the existing warning system that goes out to the public. It is also ill-conceived: this is not even remotely a reasonable design for a proper experiment. The IBW 'experiment' is little more than a thinly-disguised effort to do something just for the sake of being able to say, "See, we're doing something!"

Whenever I look through Norwegian genealogy and census records that are filled with many of the same names (Karen, Maren, Berit, and Kirsten, to name a few), I've had to wonder how one of my great great grandmothers acquired the unusual name of "Thibertine" (pronounced : Tibb-air-TEEN-eh).
According to Greek and ancient world mythology, "Tibertine" was a Sibyl (prophetess)--identified by her habit of wearing animal skins and carrying a bag of rocks. Well, every Sibyl had her own fashion sense, you understand. And, in Rome, attesting to the Roman fondness for all things Greek, there is the Tibertine Way, as well as the River Tiber. But, how did the name come to be used in sub-arctic Norway?
My great great grandmother, Thibertine Olsdatter Lassemo was born in 1841 in northern Norway: Grong Parish, Nord-Troendelag. News traveled more slowly in the nineteenth century than now, to be certain, but it was most likely the mid-century revival of romanticism and interest in classic literature that was responsible.
According to John I Borgos, who maintains the Slekt & historie website, Norwegian first names have seen a lot of change over time.
Many [Norwegian] names are derived from biblical originals, they are of course much changed to suit the Norwegian tongue. Other names have Nordic origins. Since many of the old Nordic names have meanings related to pre-Christian beliefs, the priests tried to avoid the use of the most "heathen" names, at least before 1850. After that these old names gained new popularity as a result of a strong national cultural movement, and they climbed very high in the statistics after 1900.
On his website, Borgos has created a Top 25 table of Norwegian girls and boys names from the 1700s through the 1900s. Heading the girls' list for the 1800s are: Anna/Anne/Ane, Petra, Johanna/e, Ellen/Elen, and Hanna. Topping the lists for both the 1700s and the 1900s is (you guessed it): Anna/Anne/Ane. It isn't so far fetched, then, that I also have great great grandmothers who are named (double bonus points here): "Anna," and also a "Karen," and a "Kjersten" too!
"Thibertine" is not an old Nordic name, and I doubt it would be classified among the heathen types. You do have to give her mother, Maren, an A+ for innovation. She found a lovely, but rarely used name for her third daughter, and that choice influenced at least a couple of local expectant mothers.
I conducted searches in Digitalkarkivet (the Norwegian census online) for 1801, 1865, 1875 and 1900, and verified that Grandma's name was rather unique in nineteenth century Norway. There were only three uses of the name "Tibertine" (this spelling) found in the early censuses, and my ancestor was among them. The other two were: Tibertine Olsdatter (age 6 in 1865), and Tibertine Albrigtsdatter (age 7 in 1865), both born in Grong, Nord-Troendelag like my great great grandmother. The 1900 census records the younger (unrelated) Tibertine Olsdatter all grown up at the age of 41.
And, what happened to my grandmother's ancient and lyrical name once she emigrated to America? Why, it was shortened, of course! From then on, she was commonly known as "Bertina."

It was snowing for the first time in three weeks when my stepdaughter and I arrived at Deer Valley Resort in early February: Six inches of soft powder over groomed hard pack and just under freezing. Ideal conditions.
We were standing mid-mountain looking at the trail map trying to decide where to head to for some easy intermediate terrain. We had tried Bald Mountain earlier and found it too chopped up. It also has a 9,400-foot summit, so we were looking for something a bit easier on our first day on skis this season.
A mountain host gave us some great advice.
"Head to Flagstaff Mountain. There are some beauuuutiful blues off the back side," the friendly Aussie said with the enthusiasm of a skier on a powder day. Everything was an exclamation!
"Take Hawkeye first. It's excellent! Groomed with a nice pitch," he advised. "Then try Sidewinder; it's a bit steeper, but sill nice. They are all just beautiful runs!"
This was our first trip to Deer Valley, and we found many "beautiful blues" in the next two days of skiing. We particularly liked Little Baldy Peak. The runs were groomed, nearly deserted (even on a Saturday) and there were no lift lines. We felt like we had the place to ourselves.
Deer Valley, one of the three major ski resorts in Park City, Utah, covers five mountain peaks and 2,026 acres. All levels of terrain can be accessed on all peaks with the exception of the resort's highest — Empire Peak at 9,500 feet — which offers intermediate and expert terrain only.
Most of the lifts have high-speed quads, giving skiers more time on the slopes. The resort is surrounded by private property, so you'll see large homes on the side of many runs.
Look for the Raccoon House and the Bear House off Last Chance Trail. Both have whimsical critters of all sizes hanging from the roof, sitting on the deck, peeking in windows, and hiding in trees.
Deer Valley is a skiers-only resort — one of the few left in the country. And Deer Valley plans to keep it that way.
"We survey our guests and (no snowboarders) is among the top reasons why people come to Deer Valley," said Bob Wheaton, president and general manager. He says the resort is doing well financially with only skiers, and he doesn't see the policy changing.
No snowboarders made our skiing experience more relaxed. And quiet. Deer Valley is excellent casual skiing at its best.
Jill, skiing at Deer Valley with a friend and her friend's daughter Lauren, described it a little differently. "It's lazy skiing," said Jill, a vivacious 50-something lifelong skier. "Nice runs, not crowded, no snowboarders, not too difficult. I'm old. I've got bad knees. I want nice, easy skiing."
This was the trio's third trip to Deer Valley in three years. The two friends from Texas, whose husbands don't ski, have been skiing together for many years. Lauren joined them three years ago for their annual ladies-only ski trip, and Deer Valley is their go-to destination.
"It started with six of us friends," Jill said. "Now only the two of us are going, with Lauren. We've been to Deer Valley many times. It's our favorite mountain."
It's also the favorite of Amy and Bill from Austin, Texas. The couple returned to Deer Valley for the second year with their two young children, 7-year-old Ben and Caroline, 9.
The parents felt the resort was ideal for their family. Ben's favorite trail is Ontario, a long green groomer running from the top of Flagstaff Mountain.
"We've been doing that all day," Amy said with a sigh.
The parents also like the kids ski school program.
"They have fun with other kids, and Bill and I can go ski," Amy said. "They could probably ski with us now, but we like the ski school. It's expensive, but if you are spending this much to ski here, what's a few hundred more?"
Deer Valley lift tickets are on the high side — $108 a day for adults, $68 for children. The resort offers a nice discount for seniors 65 and older at $77 a day.
It's easy to get to Deer Valley. It's a 45-minute ride from the Salt Lake City Airport, and many transportation companies offer service from the airport to Deer Valley for a reasonable price.
There are many lodging opportunities at Deer Valley — all are on the expensive side. My stepdaughter and I stayed in a one-bedroom unit at The Lodges, a luxurious complex with a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, near Snow Park Lodge, Deer Valley's main base lodge.
A free shuttle runs all day from The Lodges to Deer Valley and takes less than five minutes. Another plus at The Lodges is the free, on-call car service to anywhere we wanted to go in the town of Park City.
Skiers can also stay in Park City and take the free local public buses to Deer Valley which run all day and pick up at several locations.
On our second day of skiing at Deer Valley, the snowfall was heavy and wet, the kind of ski day that leaves your jacket and gloves soaked.
But that didn't keep us from discovering and enjoying more of the resort's beautiful blues and blue-greens, Deer Valley's in-between groomers that challenge beginners and give intermediate skiers an easy final run at the end of the day.
Beautiful and easy. That's Deer Valley.

Study Shows 14% of Deaths Among Young Athletes Are Caused by Trauma-Related Injuries
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
June 20, 2011 -- Tough tackles and blows on the football field may take its toll on young players.
A new study suggests blunt traumas may be an underappreciated and preventable source of sports-related sudden deaths.
Researchers say 14% of the 1,827 sudden deaths among young athletes reported over the last 30 years were caused by trauma-related injuries. That's about 16 deaths per year or about a quarter of the sports-related sudden deaths attributed to heart problems.
Football accounted for more than half of the sports-related sudden deaths among young athletes, and defensive players and running backs were most at risk.
The study is published in the journal Pediatrics.
"Trauma-related deaths in young competitive athletes are relatively uncommon events relative to the vast numbers of athletes participating safely in a wide variety of organized sports," write researcher Mathew Thomas, of the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, and colleagues. "Nevertheless, these catastrophic events remain an important public health issue with a devastating effect on families, communities, and physicians."
Trauma's Role in Sudden Death
Researchers say sudden deaths among young athletes may grab the headlines, but little is known about the reasons behind them. Previous studies have focused on heart-related causes, and few have looked at trauma-related causes.
In the study, researchers analyzed data from a national registry of sudden deaths in young athletes from 1980 to 2009. Of the 1,827 deaths reported, 261 were caused by trauma-related injuries, usually involving the head or neck.
The largest number of trauma-related sudden deaths was reported among football players (148 deaths or 57%). Seventeen of these sudden deaths were among high school football players who sustained concussions shortly before a fatal head injury, a phenomenon known as "second impact syndrome."
Researchers say these are potentially preventable deaths.
"Our observations underscore the importance of developing more effective equipment design, return-to-play decision strategies, modified blocking/tackling rules, and greater attention to the education of coaches, trainers, parents and athletes regarding the consequences of repeated head blows and concussions," they write.

Some need lab coat, hair net, > etc. You can skip the hair net. Best to focus on the actual sources of RNAses, which are biological samples including all "purified" enzymes, particularily that relevant one used in plasmid isolation. :) Anything which is not kept frozen and has had time to "grow" on the bench is also a real problem, rather than a ghost story. As Jean says, a great deal of effort which goes into avoiding RNAses is probably unecessary, as they will not be found in distilled water, properly cleaned glassware, new plastic, or on most people's fingers. If you are spooked by the preponderance of such claims, test these sources yourself with some RNA markers or rRNA! As for DEPC, it has much greater potential for inhibiting your subsequent enzymatic manipulations than protecting your RNA, in my experience. Autoclaving will not remove all of it, unless perhaps you leave it for many hours in the autoclave after the pressure come down. If you water tests negative for RNAses anyway, DO NOT bother with this dangerous chemical. I worked for seven years in an "RNA lab", and DEPC never crossed the doorway. Make your buffers fresh from powders, freeze them, and remake them often -same day at critical points. Making sets of frozen aliquots which can be replaced as an entire group when problems arise is the best of all. You can fill your tip boxes by hand with gloves from fresh bags used only by you -even if your fingers test RNAse negative, those of others may not. Even more upsetting to some, we did not autoclave these materials and other reagents for biochemical experiments at all, as this does not inactivate RNAses, but does nicely release any that might be otherwise sequestered inside of dust-borne microorganisms. Better to rely on freezing for control of microorganisms in most cases, and filtration in the rest. I'm always amazed by the differences of opinion on these things, as anyone can easily determine the presence of RNAses quite simply in their own supplies, buffers, water, and fingertips. Start your project with RNAse assays, and dispense with the fear and DEPC. You will breathe much easier, and be able to focus on the real sources (largely endogenous, and a few introduced) of RNAses.

Apple has quietly told its hardware servicing partners to fix MacBooks with hairline cracks in the machines' plastic covering, it has been claimed.
The Mac maker has previously refused to accept that this is an inherent problem with older MacBooks' plastic casing, according to an AppleInsider report. However, last month Apple issued new guidance to repair firms, telling them to replace cracked cases if it's clear the damage wasn't caused by the user, the report continues.
Cracks have been spotted at the front of the wristrest area, in front of the trackpad, around the old Macbook's various ports, and around the rear-facing speaker grilles.
What causes the cracks isn't clear: manufacturing faults? the effect of temperature? What we can say is that they're hard to spot, but tend to become more obvious as the plastic ages and (inevitably) discolours. ®

Le Samouraï
Le Samouraï. Melville, Jean-Pierre. [Irvington, N.Y.] : Criterion Collection, c2005.
Call Number: DVD-001488
Le Samouraï directed by Jean-Pierre Melville and originally released on October 25, 1967 in France. Starring: Aalin Delon, François Périer, Nathalie Delon, and Caty Rosier
Sparse, monochromatic, grey sits the one room Parisian apartment. This is the apartment of Jef Costello, a ritualistic, solitary hit man. Jean-Pierre Melville's minimalist film noir Le Samouraï, is an exercise in visual storytelling. The characters actions carry the narrative. Dialog is used sparingly. It's a world of trench coats, piano bars, car thieves, double-cross and deceit. Melville's focus centers on Costello, an unrelenting monolith of coolness no matter the situation. Despite the dizzying array of bad guys and cops out to take him down, Costello moves forward with calm efficient grace to carry out the current task hand.
So if you enjoy noir, French New Wave, or stylish visual story telling, be sure add Le Samouraï to your list of must see movies.

text: lynxster4 2,938 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Cookies for Santa - A Christmas Wallpaper (made almost entirely from shapes made with DH ShapeMaker, toe-head's Tattersall plugin and TR's Paste Frame.). Everyone, please enjoy! Hi everyone! I'm active over in the 'Shapes' thread. Busily creating shapes and coloring a few in here and there. Our fellow member ScrapbookWithPDN made a wonderful snowglobe shape and I started tinkering with it. And suddenly, it took on a life of its own. I have many hours invested in this composition and I thought it would also look good animated. The picture is 99.9% PDN. The heart in the globe was made by me years ago, but in a different program. I started using PDN about eight years ago and I love it! Many thanks to all who have contributed to this wonderful, free software and the many plugins available. I'm also starting to get hooked on Midora's animation plugin...great stuff! And I can't say enough about Shapemaker. I hope you enjoy what I've created and I hope to be slowly adding to my gallery.

As for your experiences, thanks for the feedback! I'm not familiar with that Soulknife, but yeah, I'm not terribly surprised by the Warblades - this is supposed to be balanced with them, but I don't think I've found the mark yet. In particular, the number of readied Incantations is very high, and refreshing them is relatively easy. That definitely needs work. Tell your players that I encourage them to share their experiences! I'm still thinking about how best to bring down the power a bit.
Killbray wrote:DragonWraith, I need some clarifications about the mechanics of incantations. One of my friends is playing the swordmage in our current campaign and our opinions differ in several points. Hence I'm looking for the creator's word to settle the matter.
Killbray wrote:1) How many (offensive) incantations can be used per round?
My opinion is that you can only conjure one and then you must use that very same incantation for the whole duration of the round, my friend however insist that you can conjure as many incantations as the number of attacks you can make. Basically our opinions differ on the concept of "attack action", which I believe differs from "attack". My pov also assumes that AoO will be made with the last incantation conjured and no AoO can be made if the swordmage is unarmed and doesn't have any incantation in his hand, since the use of an incantation requires an attack action and you can't make such action outside of your turn.
Killbray wrote:1) How does this work in conjunction with Iaijutsu focus?
Does conjuring an incantation qualify as "drawing" a weapon? If multiple incantations can be used at the same round then, does that means the bonus of Iaijutsu focus can be multiplied for as many incantations you can conjure in that round? Isn't that a bit overpowered, especially considering that a swordmage already relies on charisma for damage?
Killbray wrote:2) Can Two-weapon fighting be used in conjunction with incantations?
Suppose a character has TWF and he's wielding a normal weapon in his off hand. Can he, as a full attack action, conjure an incantation in his main hand and at the same time use the normal weapon in his off-hand? My take on this is no, especially because of fellfrost cross.
Killbray wrote:3) How does fellfrost cross work?
The description doesn't specify that this attack includes two-weapon fighting, even so I think it is implied by the -2 penalty. However without a proper confirmation questions arise about its correct use. The fact that only one attack action is needed for this, suggests that the swordmage can move and then attack with both shortswords in the same round. This is however something you can't normally do with two-weapon fighting, since you need a full-round attack in order to get the extra attack from your off hand.
So does that mean that you should treat the 2x attack as a single attack? Does that mean that you get the 2x attack as many times as the number of your iterative attacks in a full-round attack? I'll make an example to better explain how I see this working and how my friend sees this working:
Suppose we have a lv20 swordmage using fellfrost cross as a full-round attack (penalties and bonuses omitted).
My opinion: +20/+20/+15/+10/+5 (four attacks plus one extra off hand attack)
My friend's opinion: +20/+20/+15/+15/+10/+10/+5/+5 (four 2x strikes with the two shortswords)
DragoonWraith wrote:One: The desired balance level of the Swordmage is to be in line with Swordmages and Crusaders - but I don't think I've quite hit that sweet spot yet. I'm working on it.
Two: The Scourge issue is interesting; in theory you should have had to spend half your actions Recovering the maneuver between uses of it, but this I blame partly on my misunderstanding of how the Turn Undead ability actually worked. If this continues to be an issue in your campaign, perhaps make it so that it Turns only the Undead struck with the mace?
Three: I'd argue that Icy Burst is overpriced (by a lot) as a +2 weapon enhancement, but you're still right, it's probably too much for 3rd level. Plus there's the TWF advantage. OK, how about a pair of +1 Shortswords, the second of which deals Cold damage instead of the usual Slashing/Piercing damage, and if both hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 Cold damage and must save against the hypothermia/frostbite. If either sword crits, the "rend" damage increases to 1d10; if both crit, it becomes 2d6. Does that sound more balanced; did I nerf too hard? Thoughts are appreciated.
DragoonWraith wrote:I was planning on some day getting around to doing just that, but never did. I'd certainly take a look at yours (and in any case would never stop you). Just make yourself a thread and I'll take a look!
Matar wrote:So I've been playing in a very combat heavy game recently and we've come to the conclusion that this class is way too powerful, at least at level one. So here are some things that I came up with that might help balance the first level incantations more. Thoughts?
Also note, we are at this moment level one. And I am rather crazy compared to everyone else.
Matar wrote:DaggerhailThis ability hits too many people at too low of a level. How about if instead of hitting everything in a 10 foot burst it hit one target in a 10 foot burst per level? That should really help balance it out compared to what other low level characters can do.
Matar wrote:ScourgeScourge is way too strong. How about making it so that the turn attempt only effects the target that it hits? It still might be too strong regardless, but it definitly needs to be changed right now.
Matar wrote:Grappling HookThis incantation is too vague. What happens if you pull an ally? Do they draw AoO's? What about if you drag yourself to an enemy? What if all the surrounding squares are filled? All that sorta stuff. I'd just remove the whole pull thing and make it a ranged grapple instead or something. Maybe make it so that it can be used as a rope.
Matar wrote:BlinkplateGaining fullplate at such a low level seems a bit much. I don't -personally- think this is overpowered, but it's been brought up. It's just a thought, that's all. I don't really see why it would need a nerf though.
Matar wrote:Rope CantThis seems a bit strong for a first level ability and should really be a bit more clear. Perhapes make it so that if it hits the target needs a reflex save. If it fails it's entangled and if it passes it simply has to move at half speed or something.
Also it should be clearer that it only effects the unit hit. As it reads now it seems like it could just cast entangle at the person hit, which I highly doubt is what you want.
DragoonWraith wrote:Counter commentary (not necessarily sufficient to counter your points, but this is my thought-process): It's personal-only (a very big deal later), and the Warlock gains the same at 6th rather than 5th, but it literally is all day, every day, without any refreshing or action usage.

Had ourselves a lite dusting of snow showers early this afternoon. Sky's later cleared with Pheebs and I hitting the forest trail for a leisurely afternoon photo walk. Air was cold, but how nice to feel the warming rays of a late day sun. Many trees still holding on to their colourful Autumn leaves made for a pleasant scenic walk along the forest trail.
I had really been hoping we would be out of here on Saturday November 5th but I was told today it will be November 12th now:(( I ask you, how many repeated departure delays can an overly impatient travel oriented fella take!!
Beginning to suspect the internet provider company COMCAST may be responsible for some folks not being able to access our Bayfield Bunch blog site. Two of the folks we have heard from have Comcast and one of those people, Lakeport Al, said when he switched over to his Verizon card he was able to access our site with no problem. Our neighbour Monica who traveled to Florida last week said she called Comcast and they told her it wasn't their problem. So, I don't know:(( Does anyone have any ideas for these folks who can't access our site?
I like toast. I think I could live on toast alone. I had to basically stop buying bread many years ago because I would bring a loaf home, toast it all up and eat in a matter of days. I probably have not personally bought a loaf of bread in maybe 10 years. But, Kelly buys bread and I have been known to sneak a slice or ten and toast them up when she's not looking. That wonderful aroma of toasting bread always gives me away though despite putting the stove exhaust fan on and holding the toaster under it. Kelly has been known to hide her bread. When I stopped buying bread years ago I switched over to something called Tortilla flat bread. Flat bread doesn't toast well, in fact it doesn't toast well at all. Too floppy to stand up straight in the toaster. For a week now I have been eating toast again. Kelly brought home bread from the health food store which she assured me is made differently than the high preservative wheat based breads. I took her word for that and nearly toasted myself to death in one short week. Next week, I have to work on not eating toast again. May even have to sign myself up for TA. Been many years since I have been to a 12 step program but I understand 'Toasters Anonymous' has a high rate of success:))
Big week-end coming up for Kelly in Cambridge. Not only does she have two daughters and a set of twins flying in from Vancouver but her Son and daughter-in-law are expecting their first baby on Halloween. She will be staying with yet another daughter and son-in-law who themselves have two young boys aged around 4 and 5. The Vancouver twins by the way are just turning 2. The twins father will be flying in from Vancouver shortly as well. Add to that mix yet another son and fiancé babysitting a friend's energetic dog for the week-end. It's been quite awhile since Kelly has been together with her whole family all at once so the agenda is going to be hectic especially with one daughter already having to fly right back to Vancouver on Monday. Kelly certainly has her week-end excitement cut out for her. She heads out Saturday morning.
Myself and the two furry kids will be holding the Fort here at home. Doesn't make a lot of sense adding another person plus two dogs into an already crowded situation in Cambridge. With Pheebe's boundless happy energy and love of people and kids it would just be chaos in the house to say the least. And, all that commotion would really upset our quiet little Motormouse for sure. The original plans called for Kelly's daughter Sarah to bring the twins up to Bayfield for a couple days and stay at one of the Deer Park Lodge's cozy cabins but all the cabins are booked right up. Plus, Sarah has a lot of visiting to do with friends in the Cambridge area for the short two weeks she will be here. Kelly figured it would just be much easier for her to slip over to Cambridge for a few days. I agreed.

Natural cowhide leather:
The trimmings are in natural cowhide leather, the skin is finished through a vegetal tanning process. Some natural marks or genuine irregularities in the leather may show through. Over time, this delicate leather, which is sensitive to scratches, will acquire a beautiful patina.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 17, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- A large new study adds to evidence linking creativity and mental illness.
The findings also suggest that to safeguard the positive traits associated with mental illness, new approaches to treatment might be considered, the researchers said.
The investigators looked at long-term data from nearly 1.2 million Swedish psychiatric patients and their relatives, and found that bipolar disorder was more common among people with artistic or scientific professions, such as dancers, photographers, authors and researchers.
They also found that schizophrenia, in particular, as well as depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse were more common among writers. Authors were also 50 percent more likely to commit suicide than people in the general population.
In addition, the Karolinska Institute researchers found that the relatives of patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anorexia nervosa and autism were more likely to be in creative professions.
The findings, which confirm and expand on previous research conducted by the same team, suggest that it may be necessary to reconsider how to treat mental illness, said study author Simon Kyaga, a consultant in psychiatry and doctoral student in the institute's department of medical epidemiology and biostatistics.
"If one takes the view that certain phenomena associated with the patient's illness are beneficial, it opens the way for a new approach to treatment," he said in an institute news release.
"In that case, the doctor and patient must come to an agreement on what is to be treated, and at what cost. In psychiatry and medicine generally there has been a tradition to see the disease in black-and-white terms and to endeavor to treat the patient by removing everything regarded as [unhealthy]," Kyaga added.
Some of the world's great artists who reportedly suffered from mental illness include the painter Vincent van Gogh, composer Ludwig van Beethoven, mathematician John Nash (portrayed in the film "A Beautiful Mind") and playwright Eugene O'Neill.
The study was published online Oct. 11 in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.

Singer LeAnn Rimes' husband has come to her defense following allegations from his ex that one of her children fell ill after ingesting a laxative.
Reality TV star Brandi Glanville has taken aim at Rimes in the new issue of Us Weekly magazine, claiming her 9-year-old gobbled up one of the country star's pills after mistaking it for candy.
She accused the singer of leaving laxatives carelessly around the house.
Rimes' publicist has already dismissed the story and now a furious Eddie Cibrian has released a statement to Us Weekly defending his wife against his ex.
The actor says, "It is absolutely ridiculous that my ex-wife continues to put the personal lives of myself, LeAnn, our sons and my family on public display for the sake of her notoriety…
"My wife, LeAnn, continues to be a loving and positive influence on the lives of my sons … The love they have for their 'bonus mom' continues to grow each day as we navigate the changes to our family; a fact that Brandi cannot argue as she herself has stated as much.
"If my ex-wife truly cared about the welfare of our sons, she would stop the constant bashing on an important person in their lives and focus on productive co-parenting to make our blended family the strongest it can be. And she would do so privately. Let's see…"

Washington appears to be way ahead of the curve on requiring the use of low-impact building techniques to control pollution by stormwater, according to what I'm hearing from observers around the country. They're reacting to my story on Saturday explaining that Washington's Pollution Control Hearing Board issued a landmark ruling requiring the use of these methods to help stop pollution that scientists say is the biggest future pollution threat to Puget Sound.
It's an example of the kinds of adaptation we're likely to have to undertake as climate change progresses, if this new study is to be believed. (Sorry, only the abstract is availale gratis.) In it, scientists say that climate models appear to be underestimating the degree to which warming will increase the really heavy rains that cause flooding:
These observations reveal a distinct link between rainfall extremes and temperature, with heavy rain events increasing during warm periods and decreasing during cold periods. Furthermore, the observed amplification of rainfall extremes is found to be larger than predicted by models, implying that projections of future changes in rainfall extremes due to anthropogenic global warming may be underestimated.
Here is a USA Today story on the study, although it's not too much longer than the abstract itself. ;>)
For something much more in depth, sink your teeth into this groundbreaking article by Laura Funkhouser that appeared last year in the journal Stormwater. It argues that the so-called "design storm" that has ruled stormwater regulation for so long is probably going out the window as climate change progresses.
Funkhouser also works hard on each year's Stormcon, the professional meeting of folks in the stormwater business, which we covered briefly when they came to Seattle a few years ago.
She reports that at the most recent edition of Stormcon, low-impact development continued to be all the rage, with 24 presentations on the topic from 19 states. One was by Seattle Public Utilities, regarding what it costs to maintain low-impact features, and one came from a Federal Way consultant on using low-impact techniques in industrial settings.
Update 5:18 p.m.: If you're interested in buying a CD-ROM with this year's Stormcon papers on it, go here.

Cumin Cuminum cyminum
Of course most of us are familiar with Cumin - as a spice used in food - particularly Indian food. In fact, most Cumin (it's the seed that is used) is grown in India and most of that is consumed in India itself.
But Cumin has been used for thousands of years - as far back as 2000 BC.
The seeds are light in colour with a striped effect on their casing. They can be used whole or ground into powder.
It's traditionally used as a way of helping digestion.

These clippings were passed down to me in an envelope containing a letter informing my grandfather's family that he was missing in action. There are no notes explaining which newspaper these were taken from, nor the date of publication. It is probable that these were clipped from the newspaper published in Jackson Co., NC, where Daddy Thad's family and the Fisher family lived.
The clipping about Daddy Thad gives incredible detail about him and my grandmother, Nanny.
Mrs. Thad J. Watson, Sr., has received word from War Dept. that her husband Sgt. Thad J. Watson, Sr., has been missing in action over Czechoslovaka since the 24th of Aug. Sgt. Watson had been stationed in Italy about three weeks when he was reported missing.
Sgt. Watson entered the service in September, 1943, and received his basic training at Keesler Field, Miss. He went to Gunnery school at Tyndall Field, Fla., where he received his wings last March. He was then sent to Westover Field, Mass., where he was found eligible for further training, and was sent to Charleston Army Air Field, in Charleston, S. C. Sgt. Watson went into combat as assistant radio operator in the nose turrent of a B-24.
Sgt. Watson and his wife, the former Miss Stella Martin of Raburn Gap, Ga., are both graduates of Glenville high school. Sgt. and Mrs. Watson made their home in Wilmington, until about a year before he went into service, and then they lived in Norton which was Sgt. Watson's home. He is the son of Mrs. Etha Watson of Norton. Mrs. Watson and small son will live at Raburn Gap, until Sgt. Watson returns.
The small son was my uncle, Thad J. Watson, Jr.
I'm not sure why the item about Sgt. Fisher was clipped and saved. Perhaps these Fishers were friends of my grandfather's family.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Fisher of Glenville have received a telegram from the Secretary of War stating that their son, Sgt. Clarence E. Fisher, was killed in action on the seventh day of August in France.
He entered service August 18, 1941, and has been overseas since February, 1944. He served with the Infantry and took part in the Invasion of France.
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have another son in service, Pfc. James C. Fisher, who has been in service since April, 1943, and has been serving with a Hospital Corps in New Guinea since March, 1944.

Luchia models a "supervillan" inspired look mixed with true haute style. Luchia rocks a haute couture mini in the palest of pink hues, accented with micro-pleated detail at the bust. Her black knee-length trenchcoat stands out with a number of fabulous details including buckles that highlight the three-quarter sleeve and an oversized "leather" studded belt with lace-up closure. Black gloves, earrings and a black chrome cuff bracelet round out the ensemble. The look is completed with potentially the hottest footwear ever done for Fashion Royalty, a pair of mile-high strappy gladiator boots that would make even Carrie Bradshaw jealous!
Luchia's golden blonde locks, blush skintone (a first for Luchia) and vampy makeup
palette add the perfect complement to her "haute" outfit!
The coat looks nice. I can't tell what the dress is made from. I just get the impression that she just got out of bed, put on a wig and still needs some makeup. I think she needs a whip or perhaps a long sword like the one the Highlander kept under his coat? The gladiator boots, the pink mini dress, the helmet hair....OMG...this doll would be laughed out of my showcase. Just to be honest, Luchia is not my favorite sculpt and there are many people excited about this edgy doll.

A bright, socially awkward boy tries to make sense of 9/11 and find some closure with the father he lost on what he calls "the worst day" in "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close." The film, based on a Jonathan Safran Foer novel, is a sometimes tearful remembrance of that day and the lives it ended or forever disrupted. And while it flirts with the preciousness that comes with Foer novels ("Everything is Illuminated"), it is engrossing and emotional in ways no other 9/11 drama has managed.
Oskar (Thomas Horn), our hero and narrator, is a tween who was once tested for Asperger's Syndrome, but those tests were "inconclusive." He's a loner who thinks and thinks and thinks; his sympathetic dad (Tom Hanks) had figured out a way to bring him out of his shell. Dad's fanciful quests, "reconnaissance expeditions," send the kid into Central Park in search of New York's lost "sixth borough," and the like. Oskar must meet and chat with all sorts of strangers to complete his mission.
But those missions might have come to an end the day his mom (Sandra Bullock) buried "an empty box." Oskar's morbid visions of his father tumbling through the air threaten to overwhelm his memories of Dad. Then, he stumbles across a key in an envelope, which he takes as his last expedition, a years-long quest (he can do the math of the search), trying to find that one New Yorker named "Black" who has the lock that key might fit.
Touchingly, every New Yorker he visits has that post-9/11 empathy. All Oskar has to do is say "He was in the building ... on 9/11," and they take him in - talk to him, hug him or at the very least, cut this pushy know-it-all child some slack.
"Every day is a miracle," one kind lady tells him.
He charts their addresses, photographs them and creates intricate scrapbooks out of the quest. One (Viola Davis) he meets on the day her husband (Jeffrey Wright) is moving out. Others are old, infirm, rich, poor, part of big families, or testy and alone. His indulgent grandmother (Zoe Caldwell) assists. And her silent renter (Max Von Sydow) pitches in. They're helping a child who doesn't even know it cope with the all-consuming fear that 9/11brought him.
"You can get blown to pieces by people who don't even know you," is his excuse for never using public transport, for wincing when he sees a plane pass overhead.
Director Stephen Daldry ("The Hours") is over-reliant on the boy's narration, something necessitated by his loner status and the nature of the book. Daldry got an insufferable performance out of young Mr. Horn - a onetime "Jeopardy!" champ - and fine work out of Davis, Von Sydow and especially Bullock, who makes us feel the loss, 10 years later.
And Hanks, whose performance is sympathetic in the flashbacks, is even better in scenes that only use his voice - a man, trapped in a doomed tower, leaving voicemail messages so that his family won't worry.
The mysteries aren't that mysterious and some may have a hard time embracing its abrasive hero. But "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" doesn't just use 9/11 as a backdrop and emotional ploy. The event is a protagonist in the film. And there is just enough distance from the event, and just enough heart to this story, to help us all with something a decade hasn't brought us any closer to understanding.
