I was astounded by the beauty and absolute one-of-a-kind experience this property provided. The first thing we did after our arrival on the last leg of our 4-inn book club roadtrip was to line the rocking chairs up on the balcony/deck in front of our room which overlooked the gristmill's waterfall and creek.

TDC and EDC Incorporated into the Chamber of Commerce?
I read in a WZEP News email that the County Commissioners were hearing requests to put the Tourist Development Council under the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce due to the abrupt retirement of the former TDC director...and I heard that the Economic Development office is already under the Chamber.
Does anyone else find this strange? I thought both the TDC and the EDC were "county" entities that worked on behalf of the County, utilized County funds, employed (in the case of the TDC) personnel who are considered County employees, and the Executive Director reported to the BCC.
And that the Chamber of Commerce is a business association...
so, if the above is correct, then how can the Board of County Commissioners consider putting the TDC under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce?
Can anyone enlighten me? WCTA, maybe?A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

At the BCC meeting last evening a motion was made by Commissioner C Jones to enter into a contract with the Chamber to manage the TDC operations.
We were there and read a resolution from our Executive Committee
that opposed any move to place the operations in any type of public/private organization.
The original motion and 4-1 vote was rescinded and after taking public input on the issue with about 10-12 people from the Chamber speaking in support and 5 members of the TDC board that expressed a need for autonomy. Some TDC Board members spoke in favor of the Chamber involvement.
The final motion made by Commissioner C Jones was for the legal department to come back with a proposed agreement for the Chamber to manage the operations on a "interim" basis and to begin the process of advertising for a new TDC director on a Regional and National basis. They requested that the agreement be completed in time for presentation at the April 27th BCC meeting in DeFuniak Springs.
THE WCTA also made 4 other recommendations.
1. To conduct a forensic audit of all credit card activity back to 4/2007. ( The BCC is now in the process of retaining Carr, Riggs and Ingram to do exactly that. This was decided after a review of credit card bills by the Office of Management and Budget found sufficient questionable charges to warrant an outside audit.
2. Suspend all use of TDC credit cards until a thorough review of the internal control policies was conducted and adequate "oversight procedures" were developed.
3. That a review of all contracts in place be conducted specifically inter-locking ownerships, boards and ownership within contracted services.
4. That a review of the current Board composition be made considering the lack of governance and fiscal due-diligence.
The County created a public/private partnership for Economic Development in Walton County. It has a separate Board and is under the umbrella of the Walton Area Chamber.
Hope this helps.Last edited by WCTA; 04-14-2010 at 10:20 PM.

yeah, it does some....
what I am puzzled by though is why the County Commissioners- elected to run the County, a local government entity, would think it appropriate to place one ( or two) of its Councils into a private business association?
Is there a reasonable explanation for their thinking?
What am I missing here? Is that even legal? Does the County Commission have that authority? I thought the TDC was governed by statute? No?

That's a lot of money to be flip flopping around. Anyone know current value of TDC coffers and bed tax take? What banks would be involved? Guess this big infusion of cash could possibly help the Chamber's bottom line and any banker friends they have. Would this open Chamber to complying with open meeting and sunshine laws if they don't already? I'm sure this will all be explained soon.
The Statute allows to promote and advertise tourism in the Stae of Florida and nationally and internationally: however tax revenues ar expended for an activity,service,venue,or event the activity ,service,venue,or event shall have as one of its main purposes the attraction of tourist as evidence by the activity,service,venue,or event to tourist: further the tax can fund convention bureaus,tourist bureaus,tourist information centers, and news bureaus as county agencies or by contract with chambers of commerce or similar associations in the county which may include indirect administrative costs for services performed by the county on the behalf of the promotion agency
I for one find it very sketchy - especially considering the level of cronyism between those groups.
I'm glad someone brought this up (and that the WCTA has given an explanation); I saw this in today's WZEP news blast and thought it just sounded like the commissioners were being lazy or were being pretty off-handed with a major budget item.
The issues with the credit card spending, along with what has come to light concerning the garbage contracts, leads me to believe that perhaps some parts of our county government aren't as careful as they should be with controls.
I am glad that the WCTA was there to stop this, and that they know that someone is watching.
Who is on the TDC board? I went to the Walton Cty website, and that page is blank.
This stinks to high heaven. There was a well coordinated consortium at the meeting to try to push this through without discussion or citizen input. In fact the first vote was rescinded because there had not been any discussion by citizens. The BCC was asked to vote on an agreement that DOES NOT EXIST. Cecelia Jones made two motions to allow Dawn Moliterno to take over the TDC without the first mention as to how much we, the citizens of Walton Co, were going to pay Ms. Moliterno to manage a county organization that does not need a management company! Larry Jones was the one commissioner who said he wouldn't vote for something he didn't know the details about. What is going on here?
I asked Ms. Jones, but she didn't answer that question exactly, so I have asked her again. I am not clear on whether they are talking about hiring Dawn Moliterno as interim director, or hiring the Chamber to manage the TDC.
Isn't the TDC managed by the TDC? It's a council -- the membership of the TDC is spelled out in statute, and there is a position on the Council designated to be filled by a county commissioner. The Tourist Development Council is a committee, and they hire an Executive Director to oversee day to day operations. However, the council members are responsible for the TDC operations by statute.
It seems like there has been a witch hunt at the TDC. I know a few members of the board have been removed. The whole "scandal" about Sonny Mares using a black taxi to go from the airport to his hotel in London (one would presume he had bags and didn't know his way around London) and had a $500 dinner at Seagar's while entertaining a consultant to has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding to the county. Was there a policy and procedure in place limiting entertainment expenses? It seems a bit unfair to scream "gotcha!" when there has been no policy in place.
There seems to be a huge double standard between public and private money. I recently had a discussion with a conservative friend who claimed to be scandalized by the $500 dinner at Saegar's, but untroubled by FRP Chair John Thrasher's $20,000 bill at a London hotel that was put on a junior staffer's credit card because that was "private money." Well, the Chamber is a private entity as well. Are Dawn Moliterno's expenses going to be audited as well? What policy and procedure is being used by Carr, Riggs and Ingram to determine which expenditures are suspicious? Will they be going back to look at Chris Titus' expenses to verify this was not standard procedure for the TDC to entertain out of town consultants? I think this would be particularly important if there are no specific p&p's regarding reimbursable expenses.
Back during the blue sign hubbaloo, it was easy to find a list of TDC members and their budget through a quick google search. Now, I'm not able to find numbers (or even my post from the spring of 2008 on this forum) for the budget or membership. I remember the tourist tax generating about $12 million dollars. That's a pretty substantial budget to entrust to a private, non-elected entity. And given the position on the Airport board, it might be a bit too much of a concentration of power.

I certainly think the BCC and the TDC need to look carefully and think transparency here.
I can not believe there is any good to come from having this entire operation changed in such a cavalier way...
And, I have to question the fact that one person can manage all the jobs...at the same time, when before there apparently was a need for a director of each.
What on earth is going on?A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

I know part of it is my perspective, but it seems like we are constantly hearing about suspicious expenditures.
Walton counties czar !
If you were there you heard the discussion about an agreement that was distributed to at least some of the TDC Board last week. After making multiple public record requests and being told that no such document existed - a kind soul provide a copy that they received on last Saturday.
Although it is a draft with certain info to be filled in, it shows that those who claimed that the idea to place the TDC under control of the Chamber was in motion, prior to the HR Directors request for guidance and Commissioner C Jones read her written motion.
The BCC needs to hire a new script writer - this last episode was poorly written and executed. Every punch was telegraphed.
The WCTA was repeatedly told no such document or draft existed by the Legal Department, TDC and Chamber.
It appears that we have a CZAR in Walton County that acts without direction, approval or authority. That same CZAR gave County Commissioners free Medical Insurance and simply sent them an email informing them of his action, has now decided to orchestrate an consolidation of additional delivery of key and vital services under the Chamber umbrella all prior to any county commissioner having knowledge of the plan.

Wow. Mary Brown wasn't the person I was thinking of, but that is truly shocking. Okay...no witch hunt there.
As for the phantom contract, that is completely unbelievable. Do the Sunshine laws have no teeth at all?
Has any Chamber ever taken on the responsibilities of a governmental entity? And how is this different from the Coastal Vision 3000 group that was thwarted in their attempts to act as an unelected, private group with governmental authority?
I have nothing against the Chamber or it's director, I just think this situation is too odd to be kosher. A Chamber advocates for it's paid members not the general citizenry.

Write your commissioners
I am a second year member of the TDC, and I encourage you to write/email/call your commissioners if you disagree with the public/private partnership. The TDC executive director answers directly to the BCC, and the TDC (advisory board) has no control over personnel. However, most of the Council members were present at the BCC meeting and vocalized our opinions to the commissioners, the majority in opposition to the partnership.

historically chambers lobby governments on behalf of their largest member contributors. The National Chapter seems to be doing lots of bank "reform" lobbying on behalf of the banks.

NWFDN Article on TDC/Chamber agreement
Walton may ask chamber to control TDC | chamber, tdc, walton - News - Northwest Florida Daily News
I had asked my commissioner whether the plan was to hire Dawn Moliterno as the interim director or sign contract with the Chamber, and was told the plan was to hire Dawn Moliterno as the interim.
This article clearly states that the opposite is true.
Is this even legal?

The NWFL Daily News has one of their lead reporters on this story. Maybe he'll be interviewing in the daylight and reporting on more people involved in this. Doesn't mention in this story, but did in others, that current and longtime professional TDC employee Tracy Louthian is serving in an interim capacity. She's not costing the TDC or county any extra money as far as I know. The TDC has a well trained and professional staff that will do just fine until a search can be done for a new permanent leader.

I find it very hard to believe given the current economy/unemployment rate that we can't easily fill this position with a qualified person and have Tracy be interim director during the short search.
Maybe the "criteria" for filling this position needs to be examined or made public. From what I know of the salary and benefits (even if we take away the trips to Europe, limos, and $500 dinner tabs) qualified people should be lining up!

I cannot remember this county ever staging a successful candidate search for any position. The Fire Department did, when they hired their new chief, but the Commissioners have never done it. They filled the County Attorney spot with a local law firm, and now it is empty again and we have an "interim" attorney (who I am sure is very smart, but graduated from law school in 2007).
When the TDC job was opened the last time, it ended up being filled by the "interim". When the county administrator's job became available, the "interim" was named permanent about 6 months after being named interim.
I am not aware of any actual candidate search or major hiring that this commission has done in the last five to six years.
I am beginning to think that they are just being lazy.

I don't think lazy is the right word, either. You must have caught them on a bad night but then, it was your first meeting. Maybe you'll think they improved after you have attended, say ten, or more. I usually find them questioning of issues, thoughtful and respectable toward any who has something to say. Do I agree with all their decisions, no but after attending BCC meetings with regularity for many years, I certainly wouldn't classify them as "clumsy, incompetent and arrogant" though considering some of the responses they get from citizens on occasion, I can undrstand why once in awhile they might be considered arrogant. Pissed off might be a better term.

It seems fitting that the Wilsonville girls golf team will be playing for a state berth at the two-day district tournament. Weekly suspense and movement in the standings have characterized the Wildcats' entire season as the players have jostled for one of the Northwest Oregon Conference's two group bids to the Class 5A tournament.
BEAVERTON — Ben Traffas and Eidy Bambang admitted they were relaxed, maybe even excessively so, during the third-place match of the boys tennis district doubles tournament.
The Wilsonville boys track and field team has certainly demonstrated its strength in the Northwest Oregon Conference this season. The chance to prove it when it matters comes at the district championships, which run May 16-17 at Putnam High School in Milwaukie.

The feeling was all too familiar for the Wilsonville softball team. When it fell 4-3 to Redmond in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs on the road May 23, its loss didn't just signify the end of the season.
Once again, all it took was one big rally. The Wilsonville baseball team scored all of its runs in the fourth inning of a 5-2 win over Dallas on the road May 22 in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs, advancing to the quarterfinals for the second time in three years.
Things were looking grim for the Wilsonville boys lacrosse team after it fell short against Hillsboro-Liberty on the road in its league finale May 11. The squad had lost three games in a row and dropped seven of its last 10, certainly not exactly the kind of stretch that usually precedes success in the playoffs.

why ads?The Chevy Camaro receives a number of improvements for the 2013 model year, highlights of which include an available MyLink Infotainment system with navigation, hill-start assist for manual-transmission models, electric power steering for SS trims and a new track-ready 1LE package designed to bridge the performance gap between Camaro SS models and the range-topping ZL1.
For 2012, the V6 Camaro gains an additional 11 horsepower, bringing its total output to 323. Also new this year is a 45th Anniversary package that adds specific hood and deck stripes, 20-inch wheels and special interior trim. Other changes include a new steering wheel design, a power lift feature for the passenger seat, and the addition of a rearview camera to the Rear Vision Package. The high-performance ZL1 is set to debut early in 2012 with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.
There are some who work in the halls of General Motors' newest partner, the federal government, who might find a V8-powered sports model like the Chevrolet Camaro the wrong car at the wrong time, but we believe consumers voting with their hard-earned dollars will feel otherwise. Whether in V8 trim or powered by the also-available V6, the 2010 Camaro is not just a car to be respected; it's a car to be celebrated. Not only does the new model evoke all the good emotions of an earlier time, it also should provide just those same kinds of emotions for new generations who remember the Camaro only as the noisy relic owned by the old guy at the end of the cul-de-sac. The 426-horsepower SS model certainly grabs the headlines, but the 304-horsepower V6-equipped LT offers significantly more performance than you might expect, while turning in laudable fuel efficiency.

Ama Dablam Jacket and Baffin Jacket Reviewed by Adrian Ballinger
Adrian Ballinger, Marmot Athlete and Pro Mountain Guide, reviews the Ama Dablam Jacket and Baffin Jacket from Makalu base camp.
Reviews and comments
on 1/21/12.
I bought this jacket after an age of research looking at many different types of down jackets.
When i purchased this ama dablam jacket, my first impressions were that it was increadibly light " you dont know your wearing it" !!!! also this jacket contains some of the best quality down on the market, 800 fill which is increadibly warm for the amount of fill they put in the jacket.
Since the purchase, i have used it in many quality mountain days in snowdonia, lake district and scotland, involving temperatures as low as -28 degress C Including wind chill, and this jacket surved well in these conditions.
For people wondering if this jacket is "waterproof" then the answer is no, There are not many down jackets that are waterproof to be honest, but dont let this turn you away from choosing this jacket as it will hold up in dense hill fog, snow and light rain, but lets be honest when the weather starts to turn very bad and the rain becomes heavy, dont say you wont put a waterproof on !!!
overall this is a superb jacket and from my experiences in this jacket, i would snatch this jacket while you can, perfect for your winter kit rack.
on 1/25/12.
I got one of these recently as a travel jacket after checking out A LOT of options. I like the length of the jacket and its trim fit but with good warmth. Its an attractive jacket but without screaming for too much attention, so it fits my travel style very well.
I am using a Marmot Precip as an outer shell with this jacket for rainy days and that works well as a combination. It is indeed very light weight and the fabric does feel silky to the touch.
I use it with a bike messenger bag and have had no problems thus far with the fabric but I personally would not wear it into a path through thorn bushes and expect a happy ending. Haven't worn it yet below about 28 degrees F but would like to pair it with a mid layer underneath and see how chilly I can go. So far I am very satisfied with my choice.
on 2/1/12.
This jacket is great.
I've been comparing it to other brands and finally I bought the Ama Dablam.
The only thing I complain about is that it doesn't have a small bag to keep it and protect it if you want to carry it inside the luggage or the backpack while you are hiking or something similar
on 3/23/12.
Just bought one. Very nice.
But can you advise :- is there a suggested method for getting the jacket into the stuff pocket

In addition to completing an approved LLB degree, a person seeking entry is required to work for one year as a legal trainee, or to undertake a practical legal training course.
A Law degree, especially when combined with another degree, such as Arts, Commerce, Management or Science, is a qualification that offers unequalled career opportunities. As an alternative to practising as a barrister or solicitor, you may enter many areas of work including business and management roles in a wide range of organisations, government services, and industrial relations. You may find a role in research, public administration, diplomatic service, the media, legal aid, law reform or teaching either in schools or universities.

Within the 24 credit points required in the Bachelor of Laws, 21 credit points are core and 3 credit points are studied as elective Law units. In addition, students are required to complete the prescribed Professional Experience in order to be eligible to graduate.
Within the 16 credit points required for the Bachelor of International Studies students must complete 4 credit points of core units, an 8-credit-point major sequence and an approved international study experience (2 to 4 credit points). It is envisaged that students would complete the overseas experience in the third or fourth year of their course.

West Kimberley, Western Australia
Kimberley coast, Western Australia ©
Gantheaume Point, Broome WA
© Tourism Western Australia
The west Kimberley is one of Australia's very special places. It is a vast area of dramatic and relatively undisturbed landscapes that has great biological richness and provides important geological and fossil evidence of Australia's evolutionary history.
With sheer escarpments and pristine rivers that cut through sandstone plateaux and ancient coral reefs to create spectacular waterfalls and deep gorges, the region's remoteness has created a haven that supports plant and animal species found nowhere else on the Australian continent.
Against the backdrop of this extraordinary landscape is woven a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation over the course of more than 40,000 years and the story of European exploration and settlement, from William Dampier's landing at Karrakatta Bay to the development of rich and vibrant pastoral and pearling industries that continue today.
The west Kimberley was added to the National Heritage List on 31 August, 2011.

The varsity Crusaders — girls and boys — secured road wins against O'Neal School Tuesday night. The boys won a barn-burner, 52-51 while the girls blew out the home team 36-17.
Boys game
The Harrells boys played toe-to-toe with O'Neal throughout the evening, with the two teams trading leads as time ticked off the clock.
In the first quarter, Harrells jumped ahead slightly, ending the period up 10-8. The Crusaders increased their lead in the second period and managed to go into the half with a nice cushion, at 29-19.
But O'Neal wouldn't go away, and they continued to fight their way back into the game. The Crusaders still had the lead at the end of the third period of play, at 37-32, but the home team was clawing their way to the breathtaking finish.
Zack Carlton led scoring for Harrells with 17 points. Also scoring was Graham DiPinto, 10 points; Chris Cannady, 10; Josh Driskill, 7; and John Wesley Hairr, 4.
Girls game
The Lady Crusaders had a much easier time with O'Neal's girls, jumping out to an early 7-0 lead and never turning back. By the half, Harrells was up 22-4, and they kept adding to their lead.
Strong defense kept the home team at bay, while powerful offense allowed the Lady Crusaders to create turnovers that lead to buckets. By third quarter's end, HCA was leading 32-8
Anna Huff and Haylee Parks led scoring for Harrells, with 8 each; Also scoring were Margaret Clark, 6 points; Bucky Everett, 7; Chloe Campbell, 3; Emily Benton, 2; and Regan Murphy, 2.

The Chiefs have signed promising Counties Manukau utility back Bundee Aki for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
The 22-year-old, who has torn apart opposition defensive lines in the ITM Cup, was one of the stand-out players for the Chiefs' development team last year.
"Bundee has been outstanding for Counties Manukau in the NPC so we were excited to have him in our mix," said Chiefs coach Dave Rennie.
Aki has played for Counties Manukau through the age-groups and is a former New Zealand U20 trialist
"I got a taste of the Chiefs environment when I became involved in both of the Chiefs squads and really learned a lot," he said.
"The rugby knowledge of the management team is fantastic and I am eager to further myself in the game and feel the Chiefs is an ideal environment to do this in."

Product Technologies and Benefits:
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.
- Heavily Certified: Kraus has gone to great lengths to be able to provide you, the homeowner, the rest-easy satisfaction knowing that your faucet is certified and listed by all the major product testing boards in the US and Canada. This means that this faucet is deemed safe to use and that it meets all applicable building codes. Certifications and listings include: UPC, cUPC, CSA, IAPMO, ANSI and SCC.
- Overall Height: 12-1/2" (measured from counter top to highest point of faucet)
- Spout Height: 8-1/2" (measured from counter top to faucet outlet)
- Spout Reach: 5-1/2" (measured from center of faucet base to center of faucet outlet)
- Number of Installation Holes Required: 1

17 Questions from the Community
does it come with drain?
Is there a pop up drain in oil rubbed bronze?
Is the satin nickel finish the same as a brushed nickel finish?

The oil rubbed bronze looks really light in color. Is it a light oil rubbed bronze or a dark oil rubbed bronze?
The Kraus FVS - 1005 faucet is listed in an oil rubbed bronze finish. The Kraus FVS - 1007 is also listed in an oil rubbed bronze finish but the 1005 faucet looks more copper in color. Are these two faucets the same color?
Which drain matches this faucet?

I love this faucet. It appears that the body of the faucet is round and the spout is somewhat squared. could you confirm please?

I added some resource asteroids to planet entities and started playing my on my own GalaxyForge-made map.
...aaaaaand the game started to lag. It doesn't run smoothly anymore.
Does anyone know what might be the problem? I haven't done anything different than usual.
It's only on my own map that I have this problem, not any pre-made maps.
what are the general counts of the map?
ie number of stars, number of planets per star,average number of phase lanes per planet, number of planets with larger than standard militias number of players, number of prate bases.
I have noticed more lag on maps that have several larger than standard militias than on similar maps without the large militias.
hope these hints help
1 star. 85 planets. Average of 3 phase lanes per planet.
I have no idea howmany planets with a larger militia. I didn't even know you could edit that.
EDIT: I THINK it's the militia that does it, but why did it only start lagging from when I made that map? Also, how would I edit the militia then?
EDIT2: I have figured out how to edit the militia, however, is there a way to do it without editing 1 planet at a time?
there is no practical method that I have found other than planet by planet, but as I usually play on a single star 118 planet 2 phase per planet and 16 pirate 2 player map I have not noticed the issue.
Then off to editing and hoping for the best...
Thanks for the help Harpo
I made a new map to purely test.
1 star, 14 planets. 14 phase lanes. Each planet in GalaxyForge edited to have LocalMilitiaVeryWeak.
Still get the problem. What could it be?
How long are the phase lanes?
This is just a guess, but I've noticed in many 'custom' maps, the phase lanes are ridiculously long. So long that it takes forever for a ship to jump between planets (and even longer between stars)!
Not long at all. In fact I think they're pretty short. Maybe even shorter than most of the standard-map ones. I can mail you the map if you want?
EDIT: Okay, it has something to do with my own mod, but I don't know which exact file it could be.
Edit 2: Deleted files from my mod and fixed it, files that modded abilities and the defense guns. Anyone know why they would have caused lag?
what changes did you make to the abilities (did they STILL have the finish conditions?)
I only edited the power of abilities, nothing else.
by power do you mean the duration OR the DAMAGE?
if it was the duration, then that could be the cause of your lag.
Well, 1 of the things I did was to the Phase Missile Swarm ability from the Volkuras Desolater to the Missile Defense platform.
To gain the maximum effect of the ability I edited it thus that level 1 would have the same amount of damage as level 3. However, level 2 remained the same thus the power would decrease for the ship at level 2 and be at it's original amount again at level 3.
Level:0 600.000000 Level:1 400.000000 Level:2 600.000000
I did the same with the Energy Weapon Cooldown of the Advent and Missile Barrage from the TEC for their respective defense turrets.
Is that clear enough or am I still too unclear about the specifics?
you tried to use a capital ship ability on a planet module.
modules and frigates/cruisers can only have a SINGLE level ability as frigates/cruisers AND platforms do NOT level, and from what I remember about the missileswarm , it uses anti-matter so the platform would also NEED anti-matter or convert the ability to a passive ability, the convert would be the better choice.
hope this helps
I thought about that, and had added anti-matter to the planet modules (I didn't think about making it a passive). It works fine even though Phase Missile Swarm is a multiple level ability. Only when I buffed the power of the planet modules it started lagging. Once I took away that buff, so that the Phase Missile Swarm is essentially level 1 and only does 200 damage, it stopped lagging.
glad that you found the cause (the leveled ability on a non-levelable entity)
It was a wild guess
Thank you, again, Harpo You're a great help to the forums

Turkeys In Disguise... Part 2
7 comments:

Have you read Turkey Trouble by Wendy Silvano? The Turkey "is in trouble. Bad Trouble. The kind of trouble where it's Thanksgiving and you're the main course." The book follows Turkey and all of the things he tries to disguise himself as so he won't get eaten! Very cute. I read it to my daughter's Kindergarten class yesterday and then we disguised our own turkeys.
