Task of Watchman
The Task Of The Watchman
By Dave Butts
"I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth" (Isaiah 62:6-7).
"Then He returned to His disciples and found them sleeping. 'Could you men not keep watch with Me for one hour?' He asked Peter. 'Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak'" (Matthew 26:40-41).
A Watchman's Story
The young watchman stood silently at his post on the wall. The cool Judean night caused an involuntary shiver. It had been a quiet evening…a few latecomers were allowed through the pedestrian gate, but nothing else. It was almost time for his shift to end when his eyes caught a glimpse of something glowing over the nearest hill to the north. Peering into the darkness confirmed that something was amiss not too far from the city. It could be a movement of enemy troops with their torches betraying their position. Of course, it could just be the campfire of travelers…but why now in the middle of the night?
Whatever it was, the young watchman's orders were clear…he was to sound the alarm. Raising the trumpet to his lips, he sounded the three short blasts that would bring his superiors to the wall. Within minutes, the quiet sentry post was filled with soldiers. An armed scouting party was sent to the general area of the fire. The glow from beyond the hill died down and soon the soldiers returned. A shepherd's hut had caught fire when a gust of wind blown across the sleeping shepherd's coals had ignited the thatch.
Though the fire was not a danger to the city, the watchman was commended by his commanding officer for his sharp eyes. It could easily have been a threat that would have been stopped by the watchful eyes of the young man. This was the very reason why the watchmen were in place.
Watchmen of Today
There is a movement of prayer taking place all over the planet that is firmly rooted in Scripture. It is the call of God to His people to take their places on the wall as watchmen. Whether we look to the Old Testament or the New, we find that God is calling us to watch and pray.
Our modern culture does not readily identify with the ancient concept of watchmen on the walls. To accept the Lord's call to this great movement of prayer then, we will need to train ourselves in what it means to be a part of this great company of the "alert." The Isaiah 62 passage, quoted above, helps us greatly in this task.
It is clear that the job of a watchman is a continual commitment. It is not sporadic or dependent upon our feelings. Because of the life or death nature and constancy of the watchman's task, it is an assignment for the many, not just the one. Believers working in tandem, sharing shifts of prayer, will be the most effective. Isaiah 62:6-7 describes an intensity that must be shared…day and night…never silent…give yourself no rest. Only groups of committed believers who band together in watchful prayer will be able to stay at their post.
Notice also in Scripture that it is God who posts the watchmen. This is a divine assignment, not just the latest prayer fad. To stand on the wall as a watchman, stationed there by the Lord Himself, is a great privilege. We need to receive and obey such a call with gratitude and humility.
Perhaps the overwhelming characteristic of watchman prayer is that it is to be done with open eyes. This does not necessarily imply physical eyes, although it certainly can, but our spiritual eyes must be held wide open. We are to watch and pray.
What is it we are looking for as we pray? I would suggest that we first look for an enemy attack. Certainly in Old Testament times, this sort of defensive watchfulness was at the heart of the task. The watchman on the wall was always on the alert for any attempt of an enemy to attack or infiltrate the city. Too many times, the walls of the Church and of our cities today are open to attack because of a lack of watchfulness. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, Paul wrote that we are "not unaware" of the schemes of the enemy. Unless praying watchmen are on duty, we too often find ourselves painfully unaware of the attempts of the enemy to disrupt and destroy.
On the opposite end of matters, I believe that the watchmen are also to keep their eyes open to see and discern moves of God. All too often we miss out on what God is doing because we are not paying attention. The watcher should always be asking, "Lord, what are You doing in our church or city this day? Is there something You are calling Your people to do in cooperation with what You are doing?" How much more effective we would be if, instead of starting our own projects for God, we found ourselves moving alongside a current move of God!
The other area for watchfulness is discerning the needs of the people of God. A watchman on the wall in the Old Testament would often see human needs and be able to send someone to meet those needs. Is there someone among you who is prayerfully watching the people of God to see who is hurting or who is in need? We often talk about shepherding the flock of God. What greater way to shepherd than to continually watch in prayer over the sheep the Lord loves?
What will be the results of watchmen prayers? According to Isaiah, we will see the firm establishment of the Kingdom of God. The prophet speaks of the establishment of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God among His people. In both the Old and the New Covenant, Jerusalem represents God among man. Jesus' main message was the coming kingdom, present in Him. Emmanuel…God with us!
Another result of this powerful prayer movement will be that the glory of God will be seen among the nations. As we watch and pray, we find ourselves lining up with the prophet Habakkuk and crying out for the glory of God to cover the earth "as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). Prayer warriors, it is time to ascend the wall of your city and begin to fulfill your calling as watchmen of God.

Charlie Sheen seems to be moving into the acceptance phase of dealing with his firing from "Two and a Half Men." He's even given the thumbs-up to two of his rumored replacements.
In a pair of radio interviews Wednesday (March 9), Sheen says he's cool with the idea of either Rob Lowe — whose name has popped up in the past couple days — or John Stamos, whom Sheen had previously criticized, as possible replacements for him on "Men."
"I think they're both fabulous," Sheen told Dan Patrick on his show. "And my apologies to John. I was rude to him earlier, John Stamos. That was unnecessary. And Rob's an old friend, a brilliant actor, a beautiful man."
He also called Lowe "a beautiful man" in an interview on L.A. radio station K-EARTH, adding that "I hope he does it and kicks its ass because I still get [paid]." Sheen contends that a clause in his "Two and a Half Men" contract calls for him to keep drawing a salary for as long as the show is on, even if he's not part of it.
He also has some advice for Stamos/Lowe/whoever replaces him: "Make it their own," he told Patrick. "Don't think about anything I've done brilliantly on the show for 177,000 episodes. But I would just tell them make it your own."
Stamos has tweeted that he's not up for the job. The show's producers have reportedly reached out to Lowe's agent, but he's also under contract to NBC's "Parks and Recreation."

Lots of people are daunted by the thought of making a will.
There's a combination of reasons for this such as concerns over solicitors' fees, ridiculous and unnecessary legalese used in will documents and just the sheer distaste many feel at the idea of the grim reaper.
No surprise, therefore, that two-thirds of us don't have a will. But even if you do not have much to leave, it's frankly a selfish act not to make at least some very simple provision because it makes the task facing those you leave behind more difficult and stressful, or at least that's the idea.
However, as we have exposed in this newspaper, the will-making industry is full of sharp practices, not so much from the local solicitors but through poorly trained employees of some will-writing firms. Some even set up stalls in shopping centres promising a cheap and easy will-writing service. But there is often a sting in the tail, in that these same firms and individuals – and anyone can set themselves up – will place their names as executors of the estate and be free to charge exorbitant fees on the estate when the will-maker dies.
In this way, the will-writing industry has managed to transform an act – making a will – which is meant to ease things for those you leave behind into an expensive future burden. And this is just one way that the will-writing industry is failing consumers. Poorly written documents, for instance, can lead to disputes and misunderstandings, while crass technical errors can even leave loved ones accidentally disinherited.
It is a minefield and we have been campaigning here at The Independent on Sunday for some order to be brought to this vital sector. Finally it seems that this may happen. Last week, the Legal Services Consumer Panel said that the will-writing industry in England and Wales must be regulated. It came to this conclusion after 10 months of investigating the industry – by mystery shopping and interviewing consumers – finding that there was "so much evidence of consumer detriment in the sector".
In fact, one in five wills drawn up in this country is believed to be deficient in some way, a truly appalling number. And in many cases this massive mis-selling won't come to light for years. Drawing up a poorly written will or one with huge executor fees is no better than robbing the dead.
But of course there are honest people in the will-writing industry sector. The Law Society governs solicitors while the Institute of Professional Willwriters has a code for members and has actively been asking for greater regulation.
But we have gone through the 10-month consumer panel process because the Government needed convincing that regulation was needed. Now it has the evidence in abundance, so let's hope it gets on with protecting consumers sharpish.
It's only a stay of execution
Cheques have been saved, hooray! The Payments Council representing the banking industry says that instead of getting rid of them by 2018, they will continue to be issued until a "suitable alternative" has been found.
Cue self-congratulatory announcements from consumer groups and the Treasury Select Committee. They had beaten back those pesky plans to deprive us of our sacred cheques. Pensioners will be able to write cheques for their grandchildren's birthdays and small businesses will be able to have their bills paid.
But how much use is this stay of execution? The crucial cheque guarantee system was scrapped a couple of weeks ago – which means in effect that consumers have no protection when accepting a cheque – and finding a retailer willing to accept one is next to impossible.
In short, the 2018 deadline may be gone but cheques are inevitably slipping into the ether. They just no longer have a definitive end date.
Loyalty doesn't pay
Here's some advice for you. Received your car insurance renewal quote recently? Well, chuck it away and get on a price comparison website so that you can shop around. You will almost certainly get a better deal elsewhere.
That advice isn't from me (although I happen to agree with it) but from a reader who had a renewal quote from Churchill insurance for £540 representing about a 30 per cent increase. The reader went on a comparison site and found the cheapest deal coming in at £450 from guess who – Churchill.
Rightly upset, the reader rings Churchill and asks it to give him the same price. In its wisdom, instead of apologising for being caught blatantly favouring new customers, the insurer has the brass neck to ask him to prove what he has told it by taking a screen grab of the price and emailing it. Only then will the insurer do the decent thing and give the lower price.
This is not an isolated incident of total disregard to even the bare bones of decent customer service. This year with premiums shooting up – in part due to ambulance-chasing law firms who staggeringly get many of their leads from insurers – the idea of loyalty being rewarded by insurers is dead. If you aren't prepared to switch, you will be taken for a mug.

Question about narrowest aperture for auto focus... Please help!
If a specific AF system needs at least f/5.6 in order to AF reliably then the maximum aperture must be at least f/5.6. A lens that is f/8-11 won't be reliable; the lens may still AF but frequently you will experience "hunting".
With your Sigma f/3.5-6.3 lens regardless of what you set the aperture to you are focusing with an aperture between f/3.5 and f/6.3. At 18mm the aperture will be f/3.5 while focusing even if you have selected f/22; the lens will stop down to f/22 when you fully press the shutter release. At some point in the zoom range the affective aperture on that lens will surpass f/5.6 and by the time you reach 200mm you are focusing with a f/6.3 aperture, but that is only a third of a stop past f/5.6 and your D5000 should be able to handle it just fine when the light is good – not so well in poor light.
Set the aperture fully open. Now remove the lens from the camera and look at the back of your lens and you will see a small lever, slightly clockwise from the contact points. If you move this lever with your finger you can watch the aperture open or close. It is this lever that the camera uses to close the aperture when you take a picture.
A TC doesn't actually change the aperture but it does lose some light, generally one-stop on a 1.4x, one-and-a-half-stops on a 1.7x, and two-stops on a 2x. This loss of light effectively changes your f/3.5-6.3 lens to a f/5-9 lens with the addition of a 1.4x TC; f/9 will probably severely impact the AF capabilities of your D5000. A 2x TC would change your lens to a f/7.1-12.7 lens.
While amateurs change the camera's settings; many Pro's prefer to change the light.

Skutt's newest series of removable splash pan wheels feature thick cast pans that are large enough and strong enough to hold a full pan of trimmings without coming apart. The clean design of these wheels allows for easier lifting of the wheel head and easier pan removal. In addition, the clay collection area is much larger than most two-piece and round pan models.
All models feature a durable powder-coated aluminum frame, a continual-duty motor, a 14" twist-and-lift cast aluminum removable wheel head with 10" bat pins, and a reversing switch for changing wheel head direction. Other features include a heavy-duty cast aluminum foot pedal, oversized legs for stability while throwing, and a six-groove drive belt for smooth, quiet, powerful performance.
Also included is Skutt's industrial-grade SCR motor controller that controls minimum and maximum speeds, senses feedback from the motor, and provides constant torque through all speed ranges.
The Thomas Stuart Legend Pottery Wheel was created to provide power and professional performance at an affordable price. Designed for most studios and classrooms, it features a 1/3 HP motor and up to 400 lb (180 kg) of clay. Weighs 117 lb (53 kg).
This model carries a 2-year limited warranty.

a GR8 wheel
By Mason the potter
from Luxemburg, wisconsin
Comments about Skutt Thomas Stuart Legend Pottery Wheel:
I have worked with lockerbies, skutt kick wheels, amaco electric wheel, brent wheels, Pacifica wheels, shimpo wheels, and also creative industries wheels that include the artista and clayboss. All work great but, the skutt thomas stuart legend lives up to its name as the legend. I can center 150 pounds of clay at its lowest speed. I have abused this wheel so much. But it still works like new. IT IS A GR8 WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

|[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-3848) dataimporthandler-extras depends on Tika but doesn't have it in it's ivy deps
|Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:48:07 GMT

Committed revision 1386790. Committed revision 1386792. -4x But i'm leaving this issue open... On IRC rmuir suggested that the "correct" fix for this would be to use the ivy 'conf' option with filename patterns so that the dataimporthandler-extras/build.xml wouldn't need any special logic, and the dataimporthandler-extras/ivy.xml could rever directly to the files in ../extraction/lib. So, if i understand correctly, dataimporthandler-extras's ivy.xml would actually have the explicit list of jars that it wanted to fetch, and "ant resolve" would fetch those jars w/o caring if contrib/extraction built, but those jars would be fetched directly into extraction/lib. leaving this issue open for further discussion/considering about this idea. > dataimporthandler-extras depends on Tika but doesn't have it in it's ivy deps > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3848 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3848 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib - DataImportHandler > Reporter: Hoss Man > > Noticed this while dealing with SOLR-3759... > * solr/contrib/dataimporthandler-extras contains MailEntityProcessor and TikaEntityProcessor > * both of these classes have acompile & runtime dependency on org.apache.tika.\* > * solr/contrib/dataimporthandler-extras/ivy.xml does not mention any external dependencies > * solr/contrib/dataimporthandler-extras/build.xml has a "resolve-extraction-libs" to force solr/contrib/extraction to fetch it's deps so that dataimporthandler-extras can use them directly > * solrconfig.xml files in example-DIH point to the contrib/extraction/lib/ dir to get the Tika dependencies for demo purposes > I believe this is all intentional so that we don't have two copies of all the tika jars floating around, particularly in the binary releases, but even though i'm one of the people who was involved in setting things up this way in dataimporthandler-extras/build.xml, it still confused/surprised me... > https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1307563 > https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1309503 > I think at a minimum, we should probably add some comments to dataimporthandler-extras/ivy.xml about this kludge, and probably call it out more in the various example-DIH/\*/solrconfig.xml files as well. That said: If anyone feels strongly that we should "fix" this so that dataimporthandler-extras/ivy.xml explicitly fetches the tika deps - please speak up. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Weaponwand doesn't specify melee or ranged, so I have an idea. I just don't know how to go about it. I want to make it permanent on a ranged weapon but make it so that I can swap out wands, depending on the situation. Possibly even store multiple wands in it and be able to switch which one is in use. Switching between stored wands would have to be an action of some sort obviously, could provoke attacks too. I was thinking either a pistol or hand crossbow. If I have to build this from the ground up what all spells would be involved and what cost? Or is there something already out there I'm missing? Thanks in advance all you way more brilliant than me people for your help.
The title says it. My problem is, I have a player with a Mesmerist and we have a disagreement as to when certain tricks are activated. This is import because he favors the illusionary smoke trick. He says it activates as soon as I decide he is the target, thus a he gains his concealment against my attacks. I say that the first attack, say from a ranged attack does not trigger it, and should therefore be against normal AC. Then the following attacks would be against concealment. I just don't see how he can activate this trick just because someone thought "Hey I'm going to attack that guy." What if he is completely unaware that he about to be attacked. Snipers, invisible enemies, etc.
So we are only 3/4 of the way into Iron Gods book 2, I am GMing. But I know we are playing Hell's vengeance next and I already have an idea for a character, just not sure how to build it though.
So I am putting this thread here, in home brew, because I am attempting to build a race for a campaign at home. If it needs to be moved...my bad, and thanks.
Would it hurt to change the psychic vampires drain energy ability into a gaze attack similar to the mesmerist hypnotic stare. I just think it seems weird that a creature is draining your psychic energy by beating on you physically. The idea of a psychic vampire locking eyes with someone and just draining them while no one is the wiser makes more sense to me. I was thinking something like this:
ARG wrote:
Flight (4 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race have a fly speed of 30 feet with clumsy maneuverability. Special: This trait can be taken more than once. For each additional 2 RP spent, the race's fly speed increases by +10 feet, and the maneuverability improves by one step.
If you build a race and give it flight does this automatically give them wings? Or can it just be flight similar to Superman? And if it is flight without the use of wings would it be (Su) or (Ex)? I assume it would not be (Sp) because it is not coming from a spell itself, just the ability to fly.
So I felt there was another way to go with that mindblade archtype. I made a few modifications and now I have this. I would like to change out some of the weapon enchantment abilities I just don't know which ones to switch out and which ones to replace them with.
Not even going to lie, everything in this archetype was stolen from other Paizo archetypes. I am making this for Iron Gods, for one of my players to use. I will be GMing. I was hoping for some feedback to see if it is balanced, playable, or just a steaming pile of s#!t. Thanks in advance.
Numerian Gun Mage (Magus Archetype)
Skills: The gun mage adds knowledge (engineering) to his list of class and removes knowledge (planes).
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A gun mage is proficient with all simple, light and one handed martial weapons, and all firearms. A gun mage is also proficient with light armor. He can cast magus spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a gun mage wearing medium armor, heavy armor, or a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass gun mage still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. This changes the weapon and armor class ability.
Gunsmith: The gun mage gains the Gunsmithing feat and a battered gun that is identical to the gun a gunslinger gains at first level.Like a gunslinger, a gun mage can use the Gunsmithing feat to restore his battered gun.
Diminished Spellcasting: Gun mage cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level.
Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the gun mage gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his firearm. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the gun mage prepares his spells.
Magus Arcana: The gun mage has access to the following magus arcana
Covet Charge (Ex): A gun mage can spend 1 arcane pool point to use 1 charge fewer than normal when firing a technological weapon (minimum 0), as long as the weapon has enough charges remaining to be fired at least once.
Reliable (Ex): A gun mage can spend 1 arcane pool point as a free action to prevent a timeworn firearm from glitching.
Charge Recycling (Ex): By spending 1 arcane pool point, a gun mage can grant 1 temporary charge to a technological firearm, even if the firearm normally can no longer be recharged. This charge must be used within 1 hour or it fades. The gun mage can grant temporary charges to multiple firearms as long as he has enough arcane pool points, but temporary charges do not stack with themselves in the same firearm. At 15th level, the gun mage can grant 2 temporary charges when he uses this magus arcana, and at 19th level, he can grant 3 temporary charges. A gun mage must be at least 11th level to select this arcane.
Ranged Spellstrike (Su): At 4th level, a gun mage can use spellstrike to cast a single-target touch attack ranged spell, and deliver it through a ranged weapon attack. Even if the spell can normally affect multiple targets, only a single missile, ray, or effect accompanies the attack. A gun mage can cast any ranged touch attack, cone, line, or ray spells through his firearm. When he casts through the firearm, the gun's enhancement bonus (if any) is a bonus to the spell's attack rolls or to the spell's saving throw DCs. Yet there are dangers inherent to this method. If any of the spells' attack rolls result in a natural 1 (a misfire), or a natural 20 is rolled on any saving throw made against the spell by a target (an overload), the firearm gains the broken condition. If the firearm already has the broken condition, the gun explodes. When a gun explodes, it lets loose a blast of force, or if the spell has the acid, cold, electricity, or sonic descriptor, it deals that type of energy damage instead. In the case of spells with multiple descriptors, roll randomly among the descriptors to determine the type of damage dealt by the blast. The blast is centered on a single intersection within the gun mage's space (gun mage's choice) and deals 1d6 points of the appropriate energy damage or force damage per level of the spell cast. Any creature within the blast other than the gun mage can make a Reflex saving throw to halve the damage. The Reflex save DC is calculated using the spell level of the spell being sacrificed. This ability replaces spell recall.
Bonus Feats: A gun mage can select Technologist as a bonus feat, even though it's neither a combat nor a metamagic feat.
Technic Training (Ex): Starting at 7th level, a gun mage can select one specific type of advanced technology firearm (such as a laser pistol, mindrender, stun gun, or zero rifle). Thereafter, he gains a bonus equal to his Dexterity modifier on damage rolls when using that firearm. Furthermore, he treats all detrimental glitches of timeworn versions of his selected firearm as a result of no glitch. (He can retain the effects of beneficial glitches if he wishes.)
Improved Ranged Strike (Su): At 11th level, a gun mage using a multiple-target spell with this ability may deliver one ray or line of effect with each attack when using a full-attack action, up to the maximum allowed by the spell (in the case of ray effects). Any effects not used in the round the spell is cast are lost. This ability replaces improved spell recall.
Simple enough. Do they stack. Both have an affect on arcane pool. But Mindblade says This ability replaces arcane pool, and counts as arcane
Come, come my friends enjoy all that my palace has to offer. Tell us your deepest desires, be it buxom wenches, tall dark and mysterious strangers, gnome bondage. Or perhaps you have a taste for exotic dishes, unicorn roast with a marmalade glaze. Ah, I think maybe a game of chance is more to your liking, the game room is this way.
I have an idea for a magic item, it would be a gauntlet that can change into or grow a buckler or shield (light most likely). Also I am thinking maybe a spike gauntlet to spiked shield maybe. I am just curious as to what spells and feats would be necessary to pull this off and what kind of cost. Also I was thinking of going with living steel as it kind of fits the concept. Thanks in advanced one and all. Except that one guy. He knows why.
Hello all you awesome Paizo customer service people. How is your day? My day is going well. I have one little question. I placed an order for the plush Cthullu on September 30th. the item doesn't show as out of stock. Yet it has been pending for nearly a month. Now I do have until February, that's when our baby is due, but I would just like to know what is up with the order.
So my printer at home is on the fritz, and I have a PDF I need printed. I tried using Kinko/FedEx online printing, just to have it printed at my local store and go pick it up. But the store clerk called me up and said they could not print it up without Paizo's express written permission. I told him I was not selling it, I just needed it to play the game. I told him that this is what the PDFs are for. He said it was because Kinko/FedEx would make a profit off of it, and thus breaks the copyright codes and all that. I had not thought of that. I was just wondering if I was really about to break some major rules and get in trouble myself or was the clerk being overly cautious. I have gone there and made photocopies of handouts from books for the players, when I have been low on ink or wanted a nicer color copy to give my players. They made a profit on that, should I not have done that either. I don't know if I just opened a can of worms or not, I know people share their watermarked PDFs online and that is a major no no. But I thought the point of having a file to print from was so that I could print it up as often as I want. If I involve a place like Kinko/FedEx does then become a crime?
So my group just ended our session tonight do to an invasion from a bat. Scary thing is we have a werebat-kin in our group with the bat shape feats. Our GM was like "Marty get the %$#@*! out man". Excitement followed, cats were locked up and dogs sent to the yard. The bat was trapped in a back room and my friend and I went in armed with a sheet and a plastic storage container lid. The room lights were off so we went in with a flash light and saw the bat's shadow flickering in the little bit of light we had brought with us. With the flashlight pointing at the ceiling and lid in both hands my friend nailed the bat in the dark. Poor little fella was knocked silly. I thought it was dead and when I went for it, well it was not dead. I jumped, some might say I screamed a slightly not so manly scream. Then I left to go get some leather gloves, came back bundled the bat up in a sheet and ran outside with it. Son of a *^$#@@!. He made all kinds of noises, the whole way out. Then I tossed the sheet into the yard and a few minutes later he climbed out and took off fine as can be. Did I mention we had just fought our way through the gate house at Cormac's castle. So that was the end for the night. Weird stuff. And with this particular AP, freaky.
One of our group will be out for at least six weeks and we are in the middle of RotRL. So I am looking for a quick module to run to the rest of us busy for six weeks. They all look good and we have played a few over the years. I am looking maybe for one the newer ones from the last year or two. Level and style don't matter just needs to be able to be accomplished in six weeks, as stated above. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well as extra thoughts on any modules you may suggest. No spoilers please as I don't know if my clan will be watching these forums.
Okay I know the rules state the following:
I am not trolling here and don't want to see any negative comments. It is a simple question, are any of you out there just happy with Pathfinder. I know I am, but it seems like all I see is negative thoughts on this game mechanic or that class is over powered or whatever. I just think it would be nice to have one thread out there where people take time to say something nice about Pathfinder, the game, we know the Paizo people are amazing. I see that all over the messageboards and have experienced it myself.
My question here is not with the feats but with the description in the Blood Drinker Feat itself.
The Kensai recieves the canny defense ability, Int bonus to AC upto class level. Then one of the suggested arcana is prescient defense which grant the magus his/her Int bonus to AC against a particular enemy. Would this stack, does the magus then apply his/her Int bonus to AC twice against this one opponent?
I was wondering while looking at making an inquisitor of Nethys, why not an inquisitor who uses wizard schools (and sub schools) instead of domains. Possibly a variant spell list, something close to the witch's spell list combining arcane with divine. Then maybe replace someother class functions, such as bane and greater bane, with blade thirst or disruptive and spellbreaker. Any other thoughts or possible variant ideas? I see this variant as something of a mage hunter or hunter mage, or however you see it. Judgement could be used to close the distance to a wizard or other major caster through the more protective powers and then shifting to the more attack orrientted powers once in melee range. Access to arcane spells would allow for better counter spell chances.

2016 Logo Design Trends ForecastPosted on 02
'16 Jan
The art and science of logo design is continuously changing as businesses can now engage consumers in an increasing number of digital channels. The frequency of engagement is increasing at a rapid rate, while the quality of engagement has become more inclusive, more personal.
New: 2016 Logo Design Trends Report
Released on May 23, the official 2016 Logo Design Trends report is here. Click the link above.
Considering everything else that is happening, the way in which business logos are designed is changing as well. The "rules" that worked before the turn of the century no longer count today. In fact, what has held true for the last five years no longer has the same authority. The art and science of logo design is changing as fast as the "opportunity to engage consumers" grows. And again, this "opportunity," is changing as fast as technology develops.
Fortunately, there are many people who have dedicated themselves to closely studying these changes, establishing patterns and forecasting trends in logo design. Bill Gardner of the LogoLounge (read the interview here) remains one of the most credible sources for such forecasts. His observant eye and attention to detail, as well as his innate "radar" to detect design approaches fast becoming "trends", is what sets him apart from the other forecasters.
So what will logo design be like in coming months, or in the near future? Here are six logo design trends that are forecast to strong in 2016.
2016 Logo Design Forecast 1: Flat
Flat designs will continue to dominate and not because they look clean and forthright, but because they register well in any browsing device, especially due to SVG. They load a lot faster too. Patterns, textures, shadows, gradients will give way to simpler lines and colours. These register better in print or online, in black, grey or colour, and on any browsing device. Companies will lessen or simplify their design elements making them easily identifiable, almost iconic.
2016 Logo Design Forecast 2: Handmade
Handmade logos speak of honesty. They somehow convey an effort to be intimate or personal. This trend has been slowly gaining ground for several years now. It is not something new. A small sketch of an arrow, or one or two scribbled letters prominently combined with some other design elements have been evident in a growing number of company logos. Some look like "hybrids." They're the ones that don't look "truly" handmade but they don't feel digital either. Such designs suggest the idea of being handmade and yes, they also do seem to register the same charm, though not on the same level.
Handmade elements and font sets, or a suggestion of such, will be more evident in logo design as the year progresses. Bespoke font sets will be a valuable design asset.
It is important to emphasize that typography is no longer just the style of text you add to the design to spell out something. It is, and will always be, a great contributor to communicating the brand's personality.
2016 Logo Design Forecast 3: Kinetic Logos
Dynamic logos, kinetic logos or logos that change-but-remain-the-same will find greater appeal. Perhaps because the style offers freshness, or it could be because the decision of what is attractive becomes even more personal, while the need to connect to as many people as possible becomes the priority.
It has also become a great way of breaking down information and communicating it in "byte-sized" pieces.
This type of logo has the ability to make consumers unconsciously aware of the direction and diversification the company and brand is pursuing in real-time. The danger lies when the "kinetic" change does not "rhyme" with the core values the company has effectively communicated and has established for itself.
Think of the daily changes in the Google Doodle and you will get the idea of how this growing trend both fascinates the consumer and answers the need to present something fresh on a regular basis.
2016 Logo Design Forecast 4: Negative Space
Negative space will continue to amaze. A design is something you see first, but then it speaks to you and you understand what it is saying. That is what makes a design work. If it is able to convey more than this, and the consumer is able to pick up on a deeper message, it becomes much more special. This is why negative space will continue to lure many to explore its strengths.
The ability to communicate "more" to the consumer without adding extra elements is a challenge to a designer. To the public, it's a welcome visual "egg hunt."
2016 Logo Design Forecast 5: Letterstacking
Letterstacking will continue to hold ground. This trend has been around for quite a while but is it not losing popularity. Perhaps it is because it draws in the consumer and challenges them to make sense out of it.
There's a nagging suspicion that our tendency to break down things and discover how we can rearrange them better is not the reason for this continuing trend. It may be because it offers a creative solution for logo designers to be able to present long "text" in visual bytes. It offers them a creative way to break down long messages. Whatever the reason may be, the style seems to work and has gained a foothold in logo design.
2016 Logo Design Forecast 6: MonoLines
Thin Lines/Mono Weight will present itself as "the fresh, clean look". This is the use of a line, unchanging in thickness, to design and compose the entire logo in something akin to "wire". At first glance, this logo design style seems to run against the idea of "simplification" because of the "intricacy" of the execution.
A deeper look, however, will result in an appreciation of its ability to present something clean, clear and outrightly "honest", with a hint of craft (handmade). This makes it more in line with the above mentioned forecasts rather than against them.
True, it offers so much, and yet, the clean thin lines do strike you with an "honesty" that is quite refreshing. It presents a welcome break from seeing so many gradients and colours in the last few months, if not years. The use of thin lines, or lines with a consistent thickness in mono scripts, mono icons and mono crests, is a lively progression of just how strong this design style has been growing over the past few years.
Trends for Toppings
The frequent and more personal interaction between brands and their markets has resulted in greater challenges on the part of the companies behind them to continuously and effectively communicate their messages uniquely and creatively.
Changes in the design of logos are common. As the company grows, as its interests diversify, as its personality and values change, so too must its logo. It is for that purpose it was created – to visually communicate the company and its values.
Trends are like the sprinkles you put on top of an ice cream sundae. You already know how your ice cream will taste like because you picked the flavour. You can opt to add sprinkles. These will make it more exciting to the eye and probably add a bit of texture or crunch, but they will not change the flavor of your ice cream. If your ice cream is Vanilla, it will still taste of Vanilla. If it's Rocky Road, it will still have the chocolate flavour and the nuts. Adding sprinkles on top does not change the ice cream. It will simply make consuming it a bit more "interesting".
That is how it is with trends. They can add a touch of visual excitement, of freshness, or "now" in your logo. It must still have something to say. Something about the company that must ring true. Adding a trendy design element is like topping your ice cream with sprinkles. It simply won't make a difference if you happen to choose a flavour you don't like. It's the same with design trends. Adding something trendy to your logo will not help if your logo is poorly designed, if the message your logo must convey is not well communicated or understood, or simply and sadly, does not exist.
But wouldn't it be great though, if you could have the perfect ice cream flavour and have everything on it?!

Great insight! I think truly, "dynamic logos, kinetic logos or logos that change-but-remain-the-same will find greater appeal" indeed — and probably, we may be even underestimating it effectiveness in communicating specific idea (or service/product) at a time while still maintaining the uniqueness of the brand.
I love it!
In your article you quote "…the way in which business logos are designed is changing as well. The "rules" that worked before the turn of the century no longer count today. In fact, what has held true for the last five years no longer has the same authority."…yet in your first forecast you say that 'Flat' will be the number one forecast.
Flat – the most basic form and best way to design a logo since forever.
Sorry but this is nothing new and its the same ground that was trodden 20 years ago. The only logo I see on that whole presentation that was is game changer is the Melbourne logo.
Nice post covered everything about the forecast. Negative Space concept is the most i like.nice share of info
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Thanks for sharing this great post! It is totally about 2016 latest logo trends. I love this post very much. Various types of logos are described here. As well, many important things are required to keep in the mind for the selection of a logo design. Really, I am enjoying this post for selecting the logo designs. Great post!
Hi! We're an independent band with very little means of earning as of the moment. We would like to take on new challenges, but we lack the most important thing: a logo. We are currently completing applications but without it, our profiles seem to be missing something and tends to be ignored. If you happen to be able to help us, we will be forever grateful. You could reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com , or you could leave your email so I could reach you.
My favorite logos are the ones that incorporate negative space. I feel like these type of designs have more than one message and really connect to people more than a flat design. Unlike a flat design, those that use negative space also tell you more about what they are all about and so there is no guessing at the company behind the logo's purpose.
Outstanding! Awesome informative blog post on logo design! :) ?

My business storytelling colleagues at Sparknow in London put together this 4 min. video about their working with stories in an organization. The Museum of London participated and I love what the participants came up with!
This video is very thought-provoking because its the Museum folks themselves who are talking about their take on working with stories. And it's not all roses and rainbows. Thorny issues do arise.
The video gives us a taste of these and the links in the blog post give us other insights into the sticky wicket of working with stories in organizations. Plus I came away from these explorations with a few more ideas -- always a good thing!

I think in this times of life videogames are openning the doors for new types of filmaking by giving them chances to start producing about new topics and types of themes that are related to life and to actual information that would be great for editing and producing films, they would be magical, or of action, drama and they will have too many kind of brilliant acts to show

Over at World Books, Bill Marx has a very thoughtful review of two Swiss horror books: The Vampire of Ropraz, by Jacques Chessex, translated by W. Donald Wilson and published by Bitter Lemon (a Best Translated Book nominee) and The Black Spider, by Jeremias Gotthelf, translated by H. M. Waidson and published by Oneworld Classics.
The spanking new The Vampire of Ropraz asserts that, when faced with irrational violence, the forces of ignorance and fear predominate. The classic The Black Spider (which was first published in 1842; this is a reprint of the 1958 English edition) revolves around a reneged deal with the Devil, who wants, but doesn't get, an unbaptized child as payment for his services. The betrayal unleashes the title monster, who can be stopped by goodness, if it is free of moral corruption and hypocrisy. The latter turns out to be a tall order. But at least there's some Paradise around to counterbalance Gotthelf's Hell.
Interestingly, both of these books root their avenging vision of mayhem in the brutal mistreatment of children. Gotthelf appears to wish for a God "Who would avenge Himself terribly for all the injustice that is done to poor children who cannot defend themselves." In a strange way, the Devil is doing the Lord's work by punishing the sadists among the low- and upper classes.
I was pleasantly surprised by The Vampire of Ropraz, and although The Black Spider doesn't sound like my sort of book, it does come with a ringing endorsement by Thomas Mann, who claimed it is "like almost no other piece of world literature."
There's a lot that could be written about John Calder—both good ad bad. He's done a lot for world literature, yet has run into issues at various times involving not making royalty payments, going bankrupt, etc. That said, he's the perfect representative of a classic, old-school publisher who is half-genius and half-crook.
Recently, his list was sold to Oneworld Classics, and the hope was that Oneworld would reissue Calder's stellar backlist, which would be a great service for readers everywhere.
Well, from this note in the recent TLS is sounds like things aren't as clean-cut as they may have seemed:
A curious "Announcement" appeared in the August 16 issue of the London Review of Books. It was paid for by the French publishers Editions Gallimard and Les Editions de Minuit, and referred to an advertisement in the July 19 issue of the same journal, in which Oneworld Classics of Richmond, Surrey, offered "A New Reading Experience". The experience involved the publication of "mainstream and lesser-known European classics", including Canti by Giacomo Leopardi, in a dual-language edition, and the "unexpurgated" Lady Chatterley's Lover. Next to these were advertised Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Moderato Cantabile by Marguerite Duras, Jealousy by Alain Robbe-Grillet, and multiple works by Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco. These were on offer "from the Calder list".
So after this ad appeared highlighting a number of Gallimard and Minuit authors, the two publishers issued the following statement:
Gallimard and Minuit hereby confirm that they recognize no right whatsoever on the part of Oneworld Classics to these authors.
Which is a pretty big deal for a number of reasons.
The issue is complex, but a source at Gallimard tells us that it involves "John Calder Publishers Limited (company number 1227392) which, according to our information – though John Calder did not inform us of this at the time – went into liquidation in 1991 and was dissolved on August 25, 1992". The name of the liquidator is supplied. According to the source, contracts between Calder and the French publishers "were nontransferable and state that bankruptcy automatically invalidates the contracts". The existing stock "should be pulped or, if allowed to be, sold out", but "in no case can the works be reprinted or the rights be sub-licensed or transferred to others, all publication rights having reverted to the Proprietor".
According to the same TLS piece, Gallimard offered Oneworld Classics the opportunity to "offer modest advances and sign new contracts for world-literature masterpieces," but apparently these offers never arrived.
We asked Oneworld for comment. They forwarded a brief message from John Calder: "Gallimard's and Minuit's claims are wrong. The rights are still with Calder Publications."
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

Coming off of A's, the next season of Nanoha had some pretty big expectations to fill, and they tried to do it with 26 episodes instead of 13. They also seemed to have the goal of really expanding the Nanoha universe, fleshing out world details, and in this vein, I think they succeeded. There were a few flaws in this stylistic change, though, and I'll get to them below.
The series biggest change is the fact that Nanoha and her friends are now 10 years older. While most magical girl shows keep their protagonists young, and "lose the magic" if they age at all, Nanoha is unique in that not only do they keep their magic, but they grow stronger in it. They're more magical women than magical girls now, and it's refreshing to see the genre finally break new ground in this regard. And not only are they older, but they are now working full-time for the Time-Space Administration Bureau, a universe spanning peacekeeping organization. Nanoha in particular has elected to become a trainer and develops a repuation as something of a tough, but gentle, drill seargent.
But for more, let's hit the categories.
The animation quality has dipped a bit, but it is still fairly high. This seems to be because of the doubling of the number of episodes, but it doesn't slip enough to be noticable much. Most characters have just one transformation scene for flavor, although "Forwards" (the four new cadet heroes) have two. So again, Nanoha doesn't make use of much stock footage. There are a few things that were fixed or added from the TV series to the DVD edition, but other than that, youll be satisfied.
There are considerably more sound tracks this time around, providing a good atmosphere for each scene, again airing appropriately to complement and enhance the scenes. Special mention has to go with the second opening, which really tugs at your heart strings, especially once you get to that point in the story and understand why. I'm not the best judge of sound and music, but there was nothing glaring in this regard, so I was satisfied.
This is the first split for many people, because StrikerS adds in a TON of new characters. In addition to what we had last season (minus three or four that are relegated to mostly cameos), we get four new magical cadets, a dozen new supporting characters, and nearly two dozen new antagonists; most of which (the cyborgs aka "Numbers") you'll be struggling to remember the names of. StrikerS comes across as an ambitious project and you can tell they had difficulty making all this work.
If you subtract the supporting characters, most of whom are there to serve as millitary personnel and thus don't have much of their own story (although you'll be surprised by a few of them really standing out in brief but memorable moments), then we're still left with quite a cast to develop. Two of the forwards, Teana and Subaru, are developed fairly well, but the other two, Erio and Caro, are left a bit lacking. We get hints as to their backstory and their connection with Fate, but they could have used some more character growth.
Jail Scaglietti is the main villain this time around, and unlike the first two seasons' antagonists, there isn't much in the way of humanity-redeeming traits in him. He's a mad scientist, and that's about it. Still, he does it with such chutzpah, flair, and brilliance, that you can't help but like the guy; you'll find a smile on your lips everytime he's on the screen, hamming it up. A few of his supporting cast of cyborgs that he created and raised do get enough characterization to recognize them, but most sadly go underused. You have to look to the following manga continuation to really see them get developed.
Overall, what we do see is fairly good; and even the main trio of Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate contiunue to get development. The series really tries to accomodate the large cast, but as I said, the ambitious undertaking is a bit lacking in the follow-through. I'd still give it a B for effort, however. The girls are older, but continue to show exactly why they remain the kickass leaders of the magical girl (now woman) world.
Other than the sheer number of characters to keep track of (that will require rewatching to really get a handle on), you'll still find plenty of what made Nanoha great. Good battle sequences, good character development (for those that StrikerS focuses on), and heartwarming moments where we see the vulnerable natures of the women beneath the kickass exterior.
One thing I haven't mentioned yet, is that the creators seemed to have a bit of trouble adapting the pacing from 13 episodes to 26. Early on, the series can seem a bit slow, and there can appear to be a couple of "filler" episodes, even though they focus on character development. Still, some things could have been condensed or not shown, in favor of bringing the main plot more to the fore and using it to develop some of the underused characters. Part of the ambitious nature of the series, is that they seemed to really want to develop the Nanoha universe, and this seemed to detract a bit from the story.
Still, I don't feel it drags things down too much. It's a minor complaint, especially since the last 8 episodes or so really sell the series. It's like going through a decent dinner that perhaps doesn't have all your favorites, and getting a really delicious dessert at the end. It does throw a lot at you, so it will require rewatching to really catch everything and be able to nail down all the characters as well.
So I still recommend the series. If you were a fan of the first two, you will still find a lot here to like, and I guarantee you'll enjoy many of the new concepts as well. Just be aware of the tons of characters and the slower pacing, and you'll find a good sequel to a great series.
There are no comments - leave one to be the first!

- Intel Z77
- Core i7 / i5 / i3 (LGA1155)
This review is from: ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Love the 5x5x5 options, having a virtual hdd on the ram is ver convient. On paper this board was great
See cons
Got a defective board. The Sound would only output to the right speakers. I tried everything I could think of. Then noticed front ports weren't working either. Tried another board, front ports worked fine. Then did new drivers, no change. At that point I RMA'd the board due to the hardware sound chip not working right. Took it apart, all looked good and sent it back. Newegg declined my replacement due to what they say was customer neglect and pin damage. Kinda wish now I took pictures of the thing before sending it back but oh well. Just out the 100 dollars I guess. If the on board audio worked It would have been fine because it worked amazingly otherwise.
Other Thoughts:
So yeah, really bummed I cant have my client's build ready till another week and having to absorb the cost of this board. Just going to buy from local dealer to save some time.
Will say the RMA process @ newegg is usualy great. But my main con is the audio not working right on the board. so beware this may be a common issue, reguardless of my experience
Manufacturer Response:
Dear ASRock Customer
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Sorry to hear the mainboard's CPU socket pins has damages.
