Mortis' Turn #0
This sheet records important details about your Deity.
Energies like order, chaos, or primal are terribly alien to the gods nature and swallowing them can alter the deities makeup. We call this sort of permanent alteration corruption, and if a player ever has 100 points of corruption, in a single energy type, his deity becomes an entity controlled by the game's staff. Over time deities who drink a lot of these types of energy can also gain tolerance allowing them to handle more and more energy with less and less risk of corruption.

~Admin's Proposed birth action Deal from Registration topic~
First off your focused on an area of effect. This area starts out 100 square miles and grows a 100 mile ring around itself every turn, basically adding 400 square miles to your area every hundred years. So on turn zero when you appear to the people for the first time you get to place your first 100 square miles. Boom! It appears around you. Then on turn one it expands to 300 miles to a side or 900 square miles, and on turn two it expands to 500 miles on a side or 2500 square miles, etc . . .
Cosmetically when an area appears/spreads every living, non sentient, creature in it is altered to appear deathly, sick, decayed, etc . . . a general look of unhealthiness. This unhealthy look is genetic and can spread outside of your area. In the meantime vibrant green growing plants can invade as well. Making a patchwork of health and sickness all over the place.
Also an illusion makes everything below 1 mile above the surface look dim, gloomy, and overcast. Above this mark people can look down on the swirlling, ominous storm clouds covering the sky below. An important note as you have many mountains in your area. The entire effect goes 100 miles above the ground, and descends 50 feet below the surface. This does NOT include following caves down as that would make mortis need to pay for essentially limitless depths and would get the deep elementals involved.
Mortis can see everything within this area of effect, but it is a direct trade off. She can no longer read the minds of her worshipers for free. Instead she can see, hear, feel, etc . . . anything she desires within the area. So she could feel the heat of a fire, hear the screams of the people burning, and watch it all from several different perspectives, all for free, but if she wants to know what a worshiper is thinking that will cost. She still knows who her worshipers are, she just doesn't have free access to all their thoughts and secrets.
Mortis has an ongoing effect that tries to grab the souls of any intelligent being in her area that she can the moment he/she/it dies. This will need a power level. Mortis also automatically has an area of her afterlife that grows with her area. This region mimics the geography of the area perfectly, and has an illusion of what is happening there at every moment overlaid on top of it. Spirits can walk through this illusion or pretend it is real as they desire, it's not solid or anything. This illusion also includes a glowing, moonlike face of Mortis sleeping in the "sky". The illusion is there constantly, except for the one year period at the beginning of each turn. During that time this section of the afterlife goes dark as mortis vanishes, and the illusion stops being replaced by the barren reality of rock, gravel, etc. . . that perfectly mimics the real terrain and can't be altered by the dead . . . a desert until the return of mortis to light and fill the afterlife once more. Which leads us to . . .
At the beginning of the turn the player, mortis, will walk amongst the living within her area. Her appearance will mark the expansion of the borders, and she will stick around for one year. Her appearance will be the grey and partially see through shade of a beautiful woman wearing only a necklace with a celtic cross hanging from it, and a hooded cape.
This form can lift and move things at will, but can't be effected by normal (non magical) weapons or touched by mortals unless she wishes to be. She has normal human strength, Mortis will pay for anything more using his income. Mortis can only use her power during this time, and will likely have to specialize in effects that trigger and execute programs at will, or intelligent servants. The avatar also has the ability to teleport anywhere in the region at will.
We will need combat values for her protections. Killing the avatar of Mortis banishes her for that turn and anything she hasn't already done or set up won't be done, but she WILL be back. Offsetting this is the fact that she gets a 5% discount on costs during this year, and an 8% discount if the effect appears to come from her avatar directly in some way. We will also want power level for her teleportation, how hard is it t keep mortis OUT?
Also the avatar of mortis will appear by taking the place of a woman already living in her area, preferably one who worships her, but it can be anyone. We may need power level for this as someone may want to protect their priestess from being chosen for this honor.
If mortis is killed, or at the end of the full year term, Mortis will vanish leaving behind the person she was inhabiting. Only this person will be changed. She will be an eight foott tall, perfectly proportioned, ghostly form, obviously the missing person, and appearing where she was taken from, but also obviously a flawlessly perfected version of the person, absolutely stunningly gorgeous.
This person is the warlord of mortis, and if she is killed mortis loses one ring of expansion. The warlord has free will, but she also has the memory of touching mortis' vast power, kindness, and intelligence, like an ant really, for just one moment, understanding what a person is thinking, and then going back to being an ant.
She is also gifted with the ability to see, feel, hear, smell, etc . . . anything in the area from anywhere else in the area at will simply by concentrating on it. She can become solid at will and is effectively immortal unless somehow killed, and can speak telepathically and understand anything "said" to her. She will need combat values. Warlords can never leave the area controlled by Mortis. They also lose all powers if they lose faith in mortis or fail to worship her, thus becoming ineffectual wraiths until they regain their faith, a pitiful warning of what befalls those who betray the goddess unable to touch anything or say anything to anyone without it coming out as a mere soft moaning sigh.
Mortis is intimately connected to her area. She can't see outside of it, her magic systems don't work outside of it, and she pays double for supernatural creatures if they are given the ability to leave it. In return however her magic systems and creatures who can not leave get a power boost . We need to set combat numbers seperately, you may want to end up paying for some of them as your free points will be spread quite thin by all this.
Not sure if I covered everything or not here, and the details are still up for debate, we are still hard at work on your area, and there is still time before turn zero is finalized and you play your birth action. Nothing is set in stone, but this is my proposal pending feedback from you or dragonspar. You asked for a lot and I've tried to give you everything you want to the best of my ability in a fair and balanced way. Hopefully I'm at least on the right track with these ideas.
~Mortis' Reply~
Ok just a couple things.. My ( warlords ) I'd like them to hear the prayers of my people I.e the thoughts directed AT me
And the appearance of the warlords will be as stated but not 8 feet tall.. There normel hight will do just fine and I want them to appear to wear whatever clothing they wish.
My afterlife I want to have 3 lvls total.. The first as stated.. I like that the dead can watch over the living.. The second level will be for the dead to retire.. A heaven for the souls that no longer wish to watch over the living.. A bright beautiful kingdom of wonder and ease filled with the finest of all things. The third shall be my chamber hall with my thrown.. This is where I would hold audience with the dead or with the undead that have traviled to speak with me ( as soon as I give them the spell to do so ) this is also where I want all the non worshiper souls to go.. I want to copy all there memory's and burn there souls for the energy.. All non worshipers get oblivion as there reword. But I'd like a list of teck I could teach my people from the memory pool. I'll also be adding the memory's of my dead worshipers to the pool ( copy/paste not strip from ) so the list of new tech would actually be new tech lol
~Dragonsparr's reply~
not had a chance to talk to john today, but have looked over this, and my reaction is that the warlord picking up prayers directed at you is reasonable, BUT, and john would need to give feedback on this, that you only get that information if the warlords relay that information to you. They do have freewill after all, and yes, horrible things happen if they lose faith in you, but, i think this could be interesting....
Also, possibly the hearing of the prayers would be limited in range?...
just some thoughts, and this is all looking rather good.

ok, for protection I'm assuming you mean protection against physical, though you could break it up into X points vs physical, X points vs energy, etc . . . Also I want to clarify that your using stealth levels for your security levels VS mystical attacks, at least for the time being.
Afterlife levels, lets make sure I remember what these levels are . . . First level mimics your area with illusions showing what exists there in the real world, second level is the normal misty default afterlife everyone gets, the third level is your throne with the globe of souls. Not sure if we've talked about the soul destruction/memory stealing aspect on here, or just in person, and you wanted to alter that a bit anyway, so if you could do a write up on it that would be awesome.

You've told me in person a number of changes to this, weather system effects, integrating your army of skeletons into the soul snatching idea, etc . . . but I haven't seen a post yet and until I do there aren't a lot of comments I can make here. I'm tempted to write up a counter deal for you as I think the overall concept is improved by the new ideas but . . . that would look too much like me playing for you. If it isn't posted it didn't happen, even if I know full well outside the game that you wanted it to be different.

Also you asked what edible plants your people were eating to supplement their diet. I've done some research and both rhubarb and peas grow on the plateau. Hopefully this information will help with your planning. Looking forward to that super post you were talking about doing soon.

What I'd like to keep from Previous deal..
1: Expansion & soul steeling affect
a: not keeping the death like alterations or the illusion affects
b: I want to phase the light coming into my aria into the red spectrum ( altering only human visual ) so as to give a look of twilight during the day.. And I believe this would acct like a grow lamp for plants as red light is more useful to them. I do not wish to phase out all other light just enough to cause the
affect. I am not altering U.V., infer red or any other form of light. this will be a dome like affect reaching through water if needed from horizon to horizon so as to cover all my aria.
c. my warlords will be kept, no Mortis avatar, instead I will possess warlords as needed and hop from one to the other just making the illusion of their body LOOK like mortis while I take control of the body. i want the warlords to be able to telepathically talk to any "one" of the skeletons or demons as they like. They have the same telepathy as my demons and skeletons (under the given conditions) but can see everywhere at will so line of sight is . . . everywhere in my area.
2: the sweet afterlife affect that would show my dead the living.
a: the other two lvls not needed
b: flavor text.. Instead of my face in the moon just have it white in the afterlife.. And red for the year I'm
away.. And for that same year im on earth all people would see a white moon instead of a red one.
What I'd like to add..
1: a weather control affect to add or subtract water from my aria in the way of drizzle, fog and mist.. Or its frozen counterparts.. It's job will be to regulate the amount of water to adequately sustain a thriving landscape but not drown it lol
2: with the souls I gather from my soul steeling affect and my worshipers I'd like to make two supernatural races.. A race of skeletons and a race of demons.. I will only allow the worthy of the non worshipers the option to chose to be reborn.. I.E. Leaders of the people,the honorable/ wise/ inventor types, the strong and loyal type.. In other words I'm looking for people that will help build an empire.. I will judge all gifted every time I walk the earth and revoke my gift if they have become too unruly.. start to hurt the growth of the people or start turning people against me in a way that i cant benefit from.. at witch point they are sent to my afterlife. i give all the worthy 3 options.. to stay in my afterlife or to chose witch form to be reborn into on earth.
3: o.k the con of my afterlife.. with only the one cool setting with the overlapping illusion of the real world affect there is no heaven or hell... or is there lol
all non worshipers that i deem not worthy of the 3 options I'm going to consume to fuel my reserve costs.. this will be shown as a Pit-fiend like demon dragging the souls into a flaming portal.. if a worthy soul is brave enough to look into the portal they would see an ever changing landscape of floating islands of lava rock filled with demons of all shapes and sizes doing unspeakable torturous things to the unworthy souls that have been dragged there. this hole seen will be accompanied by the unending screams of not only the souls being dragged but from the portal itself.
as for the souls that have been worthy of all my blessings and have been good servants.. when the time comes for them to leave my afterlife.. when they no longer wish to watch the living but are ready to ascend to the glory of the heavens.. Mortis will open a golden portal into a realm of absolute majesty.. a kingdom worthy of the gods and those they wish to have among them.. they will say there goodbyes.. they will make there speeches to those they leave behind and the will join there ancestors in the halls of the gods... but in the end both are just an illusion and both good and bad souls fill my belly
Good souls who have become unworthy in the afterlife itself don't get heaven or a choice on time, they instantly get the demon image, it's not just "you served you go to heaven". Note a skeleton or demon who becomes unworthy winds up in the afterlife, which gives them another chance, it's the second time they prove themselves worthless that I eat them.
(4) Skeletons & Demons
Skeletons: all will all be the same physically.. 5ft tall and no discernible gender..Don't need food, sleep, rest.. The bones are made up of a black stone like material.. Lift / carry 200lb.. will have a clearer mind/ more organized thoughts and a better recall of memory's.. will love to debate and create new things/ figure out how things work.. they are very mechanically inclined scholarly beings. They enjoy walking amongst humans and learning new things.
Held together by a magic telekinetic force witch will heal them if damaged, they heal at the same rate as a human might but this includes full regeneration of limbs and such.. They can see, hear, smell and feel ( no taste ) as a human would.. Damage will be like a cold hollow feeling.. No pain.. Can not talk but instead will have telepathy ( line of sight or 500ft if contact is maintained ), by telepathy I mean mental communication, not mind control, empathy, or anything like that. They will be 4 times as fast over land or in the water as humans.. Strong and fast but very light describes them.
Demons: will have a semblance of there former selves.. But at a time of there early 20s.. All 6ft tall, small horns on there forehead, black hair, deep red skin and a whip like prehensile tail.. Anatomically correct ( as far as sexual matters are concerned ) but unable to have kids the demons will love physical exertion in all its forms. will need to eat and sleep but only at 1/2 what a human would need. lift/ carry 800lbs and will never look over weight or too thin. will have the same telepathy as skeletons.. line of sight or 500ft if contact is maintained. They don't breath or have internal organs, if you cut one open they would ooze a hot magma like substance for a second before the wound closed. They are the same temperature as normal humans unless cut, and heal in the same manner as my skeletons slowly regenerating over time.

(communication action)
first ill choose the most skilled craftsmen of the bluttstatta, both the high and low tongue members of that group, but also the most adaptable to learning my ways. There culture is really dishonorable and wicked and I don't want them to remain wicked. From this group I want to summon forth 35 people. For my starting area I'm choosing the mammoth bone house settlement of the most settled and non migratory confederation of the Drukpa. Everyone is moved there. I will appear, bringing with me the bluttstatta during a meeting of prominent and respected leaders of the confederation, who will make up my other 15 people.
My birth action takes effect as I wish to appear, killing one person in the meeting, sending them to my afterlife, they will return as my first warlord to hold down the first expansion. I will possess this warlord as I possess one every hundred years and . . .
The corps of the young girl starts to glow with an erie light.. rising slowly.. unnateraly to her feet and then into the air fading from solid to a dark mist. a low moning starts and then fades as the form of a women takes shape.. just as the people stuned watching realize this girl must be unclothed the figure reaches into..
where the darkness? and draws forth a cloak of blackest night just as she is fully formed but still transparint.. and not a girl or even a women but obviously a goddess for nothing could be so beautiful.
in a voice like a echoing moan coming from far distant the goddess speaks.
I am your goddess, Mortis, lady of death and the infernal realms of the abyss. I have come to make you all my people, for death is your destiny, and the empire of death is your future.
At this point the 35 people from the bluttstatta appear to the gathered chiefs, up until now they could hear and see but were not visible.
Chiefs of the noble Drukpa the girls life who I have taken today is the first to gain my gifts. She will return to you when I leave as a daughter of Mortis. She will see all under the red sky as I will see all and will watch you. These people are the most skilled at their specialized tasks in this area of the world and I have brought them here to help you build an empire. Though you do not speak their language my daughter will translate
with ease. For all who worship me and do me honor I open up a gloryous path to immortality in the heavens ans a choice to return to the living wourld as one of my gifted servints. Death is no longer the endof your journey, it is only the beginning.
I'm going to leave two things in the minds of my daughter. Five points in stonework so they can build
buildings of stone and the images of both the abyss and that glorious kingdom. At that point I leave and am replaced by my "daughter". She will also vaguely remember seeing, or thinking she saw, people she knows who have died walking around in the distance in my afterlife area.

All right here is the birth action deal I'm willing to give you based on everything we have discussed so far.
The core of the birth action is the area of effect. This starts out with a 100 square mile area and grows in a 100 mile wide square around that center every hundred years when the goddess Mortis makes her appearance in the world. Thus the ring grows by 400 square miles every turn. This ring rises up 2 miles above the ground and descends into the earth 1 mile down following the contour of the planets surface. Thus we define a layer of strata over the surface of the earth and down into it's depths that is subject to the particulars of this deal. Above 2 miles, or below 1 mile the goddess has NO power. Where the area touchs a body of water it can extend up to 2 miles down below the surface of the water. But the vertical can NEVER go below 4 miles total so she might have no power underground at the bottom of an ocean trench. Expansion and maintenance of control for this territory has a power level of 500 [growth altered to reflect fixing mistake in area calculations to match intent of the player].
Mortis loses a direct connection to her worshipers and can't read their minds or see what they see. Instead she has the ability to gather information from everywhere within the area as if she had human senses everywhere, sight, touch, smell, hearing, etc . . . She can spy on anyone or anything within the area at will for free, though she would need to spend points to read minds, to sense things a human could not sense like radiation levels, or something shrouded in complete darkness, or locked within the earth. No secret spoken is safe from the goddess, if a trunk is ever opened she has access to it's inventory as of that time, though she might not know that mold has destroyed the books within the chest until it is opened again unless she spends points. She also can see things no worshiper would see or know, such as the location of game animals, or the "secret" fortress built by a foreign civilization. This sight effect also has a power level of 250.
A cube of energy alteration & weather control will cover the entire area of effect rising from the ground at the edges and roofing over the area in a dome that matches the contours of the earth below. Light below the dome will be shifted into the red and blue spectrum giving an overall red-yellow twilight effect below with the moon appearing blood red at night and the sun an angry yellow red during the day, the stars will be little points of red in the sky. This is set up to perfectly enhance plant growth and flowering without burning them out and to increase the energy they get from photosynthesis, under the light plant leaves appear darker (almost black) as there is much less green light for them to reflect. Also under the dome water will be dynamically created and destroyed so as to provide enough water for the plants below to thrive without drowning them, flooding the area, or other stupid stuff. This effect has a power level of 250.
Every time the area expands a woman or girl must be chosen by mortis, or picked at random to die. This woman will instantly turn into a corpse, rot, be eaten by worms and bugs, become a skeleton, get covered in mold and dry rot, crumble to dust, and then from the ashes a new "daughter of mortis will rise". So long as this daughter is "alive" mortis retains the ring of area claimed that turn, if the daughter is destroyed mortis loses on ring of expansion INSTANTLY.
This daughter of Mortis is a supernatural creature with the girls soul and memories. It can not leave the area of effect, but can see anything that mortis herself could see, and can mentally communicate with any sentient creature at will within the area. The daughter will appear as an insubstantial wraith that looks like a "perfected" version of the woman who died, has her memories, personality, and free will. She also has touch range telekinesis which allows her to lift and carry up to a full ton at will as if she was a super strong human, she must lift such a weight with her hands, and manipulate it with her hands, the telekinesis only simulates hands, not anything more. Her legs fade before reaching the ground and she has no feet, but instead floats over the surface of the earth, or down below the ground, moving at will through walls, trees, people, and animals. She retains the communication ability, the god-sight, and the telekinesis only so long as she remains loyal to Mortis. If she rebels against Mortis she loses these abilities and gains a voice like a moan to communicate with others as she helplessly floats through the area, cursed by the goddess until she sees the error of her ways. The power level of the daughters powers is 100. She also has 100 points of stealth VS gods gathering information, 100 points of stealth vs spells/psionics targetting her.
200 points of security will prevent other gods from hacking this entire birth action, the supernatural creatures nature, the area of effect, etc . . .
Mortis is going to try to draw the soul of any sentient person into her afterlife, worshiper or not. The afterlife area spirits enter is a dynamic space that exactly matches the mortal world covered by the goddesses area of effect with illusions exactly showing everything and everyone mortis can see within the area. Each soul drawn here will be judged according to the tenets laid down by Mortis and relayed to the population of the area (as current for that turn), those who are acceptable may remain in the afterlife as long as they like. Those who are found unworthy will have there souls destroyed by Mortis. This happens by a portal opening up and a giant demon reaching out and dragging the soul through to an abyss of floating islands where endless screams can be heard of souls endlessly being tormented. Souls who are later found unworthy within the afterlife also suffer this fate. Souls who grow tired of the afterlife and want to ascend into heaven are also destroyed, but they are given the chance to say goodbye, give a speach, and pass through a "doorway" into the viewers image of a perfect paradise from which none ever return. The energy from these souls being destroyed is dedicated to supporting the armies of supernatural creatures mortis plans to create from souls deemed "worthy" and the mortal souls she maintains in the afterlife. The soul stealing effect has 250 points of power, and the soul destruction effect also has 250 points of power. The moon of the afterlife is regular white while mortis is there, and becomes red during the one year a turn when she acts in the mortal world, at which time the red moon under the dome becomes it's normal white as the light is allowed in from IT alone.
Those who are worthy may choose to become a "skeleton" or "demon" and return to the mortal world under the dome. These, and all other supernatural creatures created by mortis, may never leave her area of effect. Skeletons and demons will be detailed separately at the end of this post. Skeletons and demons are won't naturally "die" except by the judgement by Mortis. They have free will and are guaranteed to survive 100 years, mortis can't simply destroy them. At the end of that time they are judged again and if found unworthy they are banished back to being souls shaped like a skeleton or demon within the goddess' afterlife. At which point they have another 100 years to become worthy or they will be judged again and face the fate of unworthy souls in the afterlife.
Spell systems created by Mortis do not work outside of her area of effect, and as stated her supernatural creatures can not leave that area of effect. Mortis gets a 25% discount on costs for anything she does within the area of effect so long as it has NO ability to leave or survive outside of her area, it costs her twice as much to do anything outside of her own borders.
Mortis does not get any interupts, ever. Instead the goddess only acts during one year at the start of every turn, the time she is "in the realm of the living" During this time she possesses the "body" of one of her "daughters" and gains use of all their powers except communication, which costs her a further 10% less than it would any other deity so long as she is operating within her area of effect. If her "host body" is destroyed she simply skips to the next daughter available, until eventually she may be driven out of the world entirely with the death of her final daughter and need to spend points next turn viewing the world to find a new victim to become her "first" daughter and start the cycle all over again with a new 100 mile starting area.
All skeletons look roughly the same. They have all their ribs like a woman, and are six foot tall with broad shoulders and narrow hips like a muscular man. Only the features of their skull tells one skeleton from the next as they retain their own skull. Skeletons are not made of bone though, but of a supernatural substance that looks like a shiny black stone. They are held together and move by the power of the god which manifests as a sheen of green light that dances over the surface of the bone, and sparks like (perfectly harmless) green lightning between the joints where the bones touch or where pieces of bone have been damaged or destroyed. Over time this energy will regenerate the material at about the same rate it would take a human to heal from a cut o the same severity, complete regeneration is possible here though as each small bit of "damage" is healed in turn over months or years of time. Damage to the skeleton does not hurt but instead gives them a feeling of cold that grows more or less intense depending on the damage. They have no sense of taste or smell but see, hear, and feel much as a human would. Skeletons do not need to eat, sleep, nor breath, and indeed aren't physically equipped for any of that.
Each skeleton can lift and carry up to 200 pounds of weight, and run/swim at twice the speed of a mere human. The minds of a skeleton have perfect recall, and they don't have the real capacity to get frustrated or develop a headache from intense thought. Instead they get pleasure from running or swimming, and from thinking about a problem. They are mechanically inclined and get physical pleasure from thinking about how the world works, which is increased during debate, or when they are teaching others what they know. They are scholarly beings and also get pleasure from learning new things and enjoy being around humans.
Skeletons lack the ability to speak, lacking a tongue or voice box, but communicate with one another, with humans, and with other supernatural creatures using a sight ranged mental communication power which can extend up to 500 feet if contact is maintained after line of sight is lost, within this range they also understand anything said to them. All the powers of a skeleton are maintained by a single 250 power level. This gives them higher protection against any one thing being overwhelmed but makes them more vulnerable to multiple attacks on their powers at the same time.
Demons are the physical branch of Mortis' general supernatural population. They have a semblance of their mortal selves if they were a human (if they weren't human to begin with), but with the age adjusted up or down so they all look to be in their early twenties. The bodies are physically perfected versions of the persons own body, but the face remains the same, they are never overweight or too thin but if you had a horse face in life you become a horse faced demon. Also all demons are anatomically correct, they have all the required body parts and can enjoy good food, sex, whatever just as a human could, but they are immune to STD's and they never get fat or zits, or anything like that. They also have red skin, prehensile tails, and two jet black little horns poking out of their foreheads.
A demon doesn't HAVE to breath, and only needs to eat or sleep half as much as a human being would. They have no internal organs and if they are cut they ooze hot red magma. Otherwise they are the same temperature as a human being. Cut them open and look inside and it's just mystical magma though and you could get burnt. Like the skeletons they heal and even regrow limbs slowly over time with the end of a limb oozing magma that slowly forms into new flesh regenerating over weeks or even years. They can keep going even with a deep gash in the chest covered over with a hot magma scar that is slowly filling in with "flesh".
Demons can lift up and carry up to 800 pounds and communicate with the same sort of mental communication that the skeletons use letting them talk to any sentient being. As with the skeletons they have 250 points devoted to all their special powers such as the healing, lifting, communication, and hot magma effect. Demons like physical exertion, exercise, fighting, wrestling, sports, it all feels good to them, they also enjoy food, drink, sex, all the pleasures of life with each other or with humans.

Love it.. But can I get my warlords to have the two way telepathy with the humans.. I.e. No language barriers
And I wouldn't mind redefining my borders to a 2 mile arie up or a sealing of 10,000+ ft and one mile of strata even though I wouldn't see anything unless I payed extra.. The oceans and other body's of water/ or liquids I would like to be in addition to the 2 miles up and the 1 mile down so at most I would have a 4 mile or so range for my vertical
Please and thank you

Sounds good though I'll want to make sure to clarify it. Changing the text above to have the following dimensions: 2 miles up, and 1 mile down below the surface of the earth or 2 miles below the water. That way your skeletons can mine and your demons can swim down into the ocean a bit.

We always thought leaving was the biggest challenge, actually now that we think continuing the journey seems harder. It has been already six month, and we are on cruise control, let's say we got the travel "rhythm" by now. Lately we've been thinking about our home, we miss our families, we miss spending time with our friends, we miss the food, and we miss shooting weddings. Yesterday we cried for the first time together, as we were eating some Korean food, which we longed for while, we talked about growing old, and the fear of being alone, inevitably we couldn't hold our emotions, maybe it was just a emotional outburst for the tiredness our bodies had accumulated, but it reminded again why we are on this journey together.
Yesterday without thinking we signed up for something we are not sure if we are going to be able to accomplish. Now that we really start to think we don't know if we are naïve or just plain stupid, we signed up for a trek to Base Camp Everest. It is 14 days trek around the Himalayas until reach the camp. As we did the research, after signing up, we also found out it is one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Our hearts are still beating at a faster pace as we write this. And the only thing that is going through our head is, why? Maybe it is just as simple as "because Everest is there", or maybe we are searching for something. Regardless of the fear in our hearts, our spirits are strong. This will probably be one of the greatest challenges we will face together. We are not trekkers, nor did we prepare physically for this. We will have to do this with our hearts and spirit. We cannot imagine the joy of being in front of God's most beautiful creations together. The greatest challenge of this journey is yet to come!
PS: There are some risks, but we did book through a reputable travel agency, and we will be going up with a guide and porter. Also there are villages every 2-3 hours where we will be staying. The challenge mainly lies on ourselves, but a prayer for us wouldn't be bad.
We hope to bring back some awesome images of the Mt. Everest and share with all of you !

A Good Blog Post Gone Bad
We've had a lot of discussions about blogging here and how even good discussions can go bad. Terry Storch had a great example of this yesterday when an 'anonymous' person decided to set everyone straight by quoting scripture.
Controversy, it seems, can come out of anywhere; especially on a blog. I can say something is red; and someone most certainly (on my blog anyway) will say it was blue.
If you haven't already, please check out our blogging maturity and etiquette post. I hate to even think about having rules here, but it's necessary. I think I might have to add the "no anonymous posts" rule to the list.
I want to post again on this subject sometime soon, maybe tomorrow (well, today I guess) if I can find the time. Blogs are a great tool; but we have to somehow find a way to take the lowest common denominator out of the mix. (By LCD, I mean the insulting post, the anonymous post, and the angry post).
As a blog owner, you sometimes feel like Rodney Dangerfield... you just don't get no respect. :)
Hang in there Terry... there's light at the end of this tunnel! (somewhere!)

Q&A: The 'three Ps' of cancer survivorship care

- Survivorship Care Plan
- Medical Care System
What is the definition of 'cancer survivor' and what is 'survivorship care'?
Why is survivorship care something that needs dealing with?
The reason for the focus on survivorship care is that it has been largely neglected. The medical care system primarily focuses on curing the cancer and not on how to manage the after effects. Patients are often left wondering about how often they need to be seen after treatment ends and what follow-up tests need to be performed. In addition, they are often troubled by persistent symptoms and side effects of treatment that the medical care system seldom attends to, and these problems may cause ongoing suffering and burden. Finally, cancer survivors often neglect other aspects of their health and may remain at risk for second cancers and other serious chronic diseases (for example, heart disease, diabetes).
What are the 'three Ps'?
As I began lecturing about survivorship care I wanted to come up with something catchy to help people remember the important components of post-treatment survivorship care. Conceptually, the care delivery falls into three major domains: Palliation of ongoing symptoms; Prevention of late effects of cancer treatment or second cancers; and Health Promotion to maximize future wellness. For example, the cancer may be gone, but patients still can suffer from pain, fatigue or depression, for which palliative care approaches become central. Prevention of the late effects means monitoring and preventing common late effects such as osteoporosis, screening for second cancers (for example, skin exams, breast cancer after chest radiation). Health promotion is often overlooked because everyone is concentrating on monitoring for cancer recurrence, when in fact many adults are at risk for and will die from cardiovascular disease, stroke or diabetes complications. Making sure that all three Ps are addressed is an important aspect of survivorship care.
What led to the development of these concepts?
I was a member of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee that prepared a report on the challenges associated with addressing the needs of post-treatment cancer survivors (see Hewitt et al, 2006). This report documented the growing number of cancer survivors living after treatment ends and how they were 'lost in transition' with little guidance or coordination in their health care, and their unmet health care needs. The report clearly states that there is a need to acknowledge this phase of the cancer care trajectory, to do more research to better understand how care should be provided, and to focus on improvement in the coordination and quality of care through use of a treatment summary and survivorship care plan.
What is the IOM?
The IOM is part of the US National Academy of Sciences and is responsible for providing independent unbiased advice on issues related to biomedical science, medicine, and health, and its mission to serve as adviser to the nation to improve health. It works outside the framework of the US federal government to provide independent guidance and analysis and relies on a volunteer workforce of scientists and other experts, operating under a rigorous, formal peer-review system (see http://www.IOM.edu).
How well are these strategies being taken up in the US?
In the 5 years that have elapsed since the IOM report on adult cancer survivors, there has been increasing awareness of the growing number of cancer survivors in the US (now numbering about 12 million, or 4% of the population), as well as increasing efforts at major cancer centers to develop programs that will improve the post-treatment management of cancer patients. However, widespread adoption of some of the key strategies and recommendations has been limited, with the exception of many of the US National Cancer Institute comprehensive cancer centers. This is mostly because about 80% of cancer care in the US occurs in community settings and not in major cancer centers. Small groups of oncology practitioners are the norm, and the surgeons and radiation oncologists often do not practice in the same setting with the medical oncologists. Thus, the acute treatment and post-treatment care is often fragmented, and usually does not include the general practitioner. This makes it difficult to coordinate post-treatment care and to ensure that the three Ps are delivered when patients are in follow-up.
How about other parts of the world?
I think that the needs of cancer survivors are just beginning to get attention in other parts of the world. The UK, Australia, Canada and parts of the EU now have some of these same issues on their radar and are developing relevant models of care.
Are there any special cases?
For childhood cancer survivors, the situation is a bit more organized. They are fewer in number and are almost all treated at specialized cancer centers across the world. These centers often follow-up children who were treated many years ago long into adulthood (for example, for 30-40 years). These children often experience very serious side effects from treatment (for example, short stature, endocrine deficiencies, second cancers, premature cardiac disease) and as a result they are more closely monitored. In the US, guidelines have been developed for their care (see http://www.survivorshipguidelines.org/) by the Children's Oncology Group (COG), and many follow-up clinics exist that are using these guidelines which focus on the three Ps.

Dogs and screeching tires (thank goodness there was no "crash" sound after that) were our wake up calls this morning.
Bruce picked us up after breakfast and we drove to the village of Papallacta (2.0 hours) where HCJB had built a hydro-electric dam in the early 80's and where there are hot springs fueled by the Antisana Volcano.
It was a beautiful drive up through the Andes Mountains. We crossed the pass at 11,200 feet through light rain and fog. Bruce has lived here for 25 years and we could tell based on his driving. It was quite an adventure on the 2 lane winding road with buses and semi's and the occasional rock slide or broken down vehicle. The kids felt a little "woozy" but soon recovered when we stopped for gas and to check out the dam.
The hot springs were beautiful. At 10,800 feet up it was raining but the pools were a beautiful temp. There were 5 pools, some hotter than others. There was also a river pool which literally dumped some of the river water into a basin. It was a shock to our systems but fun to quickly dunk in the river water (about 50*F) and then jump in the hottest pool (about 100*F). The kids had a blast swimming.
On the way back to Quito we stopped at a little restaurant for lunch. $4.00 per plate and the plates were huge! The kids ate 1 plate between them so we have a lot of leftovers. They have started to complain about "icky" stomachs so they are resting now before we go to dinner at a HCJB staff's house. They really have done well – although they are not fond of the beans and rice side dishes. Thank goodness for good old Skippy Peanut butter. Peanut butter is very expensive here and they only carry one brand so I followed the advice of a former ex-patriot to Ecuador and brought my own from home.
Dinner was with Martin and Ruth Harrison from England and they also invited Jeff and Tammy Kooistra and their kids. The dinner was very pleasant. We talked of home, the Harrisons are from England and the Kooistras are from Grand Rapids. The dinner conversation was light duty, but very lively. It was refreshing. The Harrisons leave next Monday for England for a 3 month furlough and the Kooistras have been here 11 years. The kids had a great time playing together and got along great.
Kids are tired and getting ready for bed, story time is "Bud not Buddy" that Sunshine is reading to the kids and everybody is glued to the story.

This week in conference we covered a broad range of topics, from multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease to TIA and stroke. As a review, lets focus on some of the key learning points of neuromuscular disorders.
The neuromuscular unit has four components: anterior horn cells in the spinal cord, the peripheral nerve, the neuromuscular junction, and the muscle innervated. The pathology based on what component is impacted determines the associated signs and symptoms (i.e. myelopathy – spinal cord, radiculopathy – nerve root as it exits the spinal cord, neuropathy – peripheral nerve, myopathy – muscle). Moreover, the location of the pathology leads to signs and symptoms that can help us locate the pathologic process and help with diagnosis:
Upper motor neuron involved (i.e. spinal cord) – increased deep tendon reflexes, muscle tone increased, positive Babinski/Hoffman's signs, clonus
Lower motor neuron involved (ie. peripheral nerve) – decreased deep tendon reflexes, decreased muscle tone, muscle atrophy notable with chronicity, fasiculations may be present
When discussing presenting symptoms in patients with neuromuscular complaints, differentiate weakness from fatigue:
Weakness – inability to exert a normal force
Fatigue – decreased force with repetitive use
Also, as a focus of the physical examination, pay particular attention to the things we really care about in the ED, such as the patient's ability to ventilate. Muscles used to lift the head off the bed may weaken before those of respiration and so should be assessed. Frequent measurements and reassessment of respiratory parameters such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and negative inspiratory force (NIF) should be used early and rechecked often if there is concern. Normal FVC is 60-70 mL/kg. When it approaches a reduction towards 15 mL/kg, ventilator support is likely necessary. Similarly, if the NIF is approaching a less negative value (i.e. -20 mmHg), this should raise alarm. Blood gasses are NOT helpful, as by the time the patient has developed hypercarbia or hypoxia from their neuromuscular weakness leading to ventilatory failure you're too late.
On to a brief review of the main topics covered:
Myasthenia Gravis
Epidemiology: affects women 20-40 years old and men 50-70 years old typically.
Pathophysiology: autoantibodies to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (i.e. anti-ACh-R) or muscle specific tyrosine kinase leading to destruction of acetylcholine receptors with a decrease in the total number available and competition with acetylcholine for binding sites on the remaining available receptors. Repeated stimulation leads to fewer and fewer receptor sites available for acetylcholine binding, leading to fatigue and weakness (contrast this to Lambert-Eaton syndrome, in which weakness improves with activity).
Presentation: fatigue, progressive weakness with repetitive activity with ocular symptoms often as the first manifestation and ocular muscle weakness as a first sign in up to 40% (i.e. ptosis, diplopia, blurred vision). Symptoms typically worse at the end of the day. Pay particular attention to bulbar involvement leading to dysarthria and dysphagia. Respiratory failure is rarely a first presentation but does happen. Furthermore, the patient may not manifest normal signs of impending respiratory failure, such as accessory muscle use, so look for other features, such as tachypnea. Also, be aware of patient's with myasthenic crisis, defined as respiratory failure leading to mechanical ventilation. It occurs in 15-20% of patient's, usually within the first 2 years, typically with an underlying provocative event (i.e. infection, non-compliance, medication change or new medication, etc.).
Diagnosis: edrophonium stimulation test (less often used) or the ice bag test, serologic testing for anti-ACh-R or anti-MuSK (probably not done in the ED). Most importantly, ALL patient's with a history of myasthenia gravis should get respiratory parameters (FVC and/or NIF) regardless of reason for presention. Importantly, search for underlying processes that might have led to the exacerbation (i.e. infectious work-up, thorough history to include medications, recent medication changes, etc.)
Treatment: ABCs! As with anything, focus on the things acutely that can kill the patient, such as respiratory failure. Non-invasive ventilation (i.e. BiPAP) can be tried, but this should be done in conjunction with close monitoring and serial respiratory parameters (typically every 2 hours). Neostigmine or pyridostigmine can be given but may increase secretions and worsen weakness or even stimulate myasthenic crisis. As such, they are typically avoided in the acute period, as patients with respiratory failure or impending failure benefit most from plasmapheresis or IVIG with the addition of steroids. Treat associated exacerbating causes (i.e. infection, etc.)
Other things that may benefit the patient that we will not be involved in include thymectomy for those with thymoma and consideration for thymectomy in those without thymoma but <60 years old as well as immunosuppressant drugs, which patient's presenting to the ED may already be on. Also critical is knowing what drugs to avoid.
Multiple Sclerosis
Epidemiology: peak age of onset is 25-30 years old, women > men with proposed genetic and environmental factors. More common in temperate climates.
Pathophysiology: proposed mechanism is that of an autoimmune disease with autoreactive T cells stimulated by environmental (i.e. viral infection or superantigen) leading to inflammatory response involving CNS demyelination in the brain and spinal cord.
Presentation: optic neuritis may be the initial presenting symptom with painful unilateral vision loss affecting the central vision. Other symptoms are variable, as white matter anywhere in the brain and spinal cord can be involved to include motor, sensory, and bulbar complaints as well as neurocognitive complaints such as poor memory, distractibility, etc. Bowel and bladder dysfunction are common. Uhthoff's phenomenon (temporary worsening of signs/symptoms secondary to an increase body temperature, such as a hot bath). A comprehensive neurological exam is key
Diagnosis: key to the diagnosis is description of TWO different neurological complaints at different times (i.e. neurological complaints scattered in time and space). CSF studies are abnormal in 90% of cases, with 50% having pleiocytosis, 70% with elevated IgG gamma globulin level, and the presence of IgG oligoclonal bands and/or myelin basic protein. Importantly, IgG oligoclonal bands may also be seen in other disorders, such as neurosyphillis. If sending off CSF studies, send off serum oligoclonal bands at the same time. Gadolinium enhanced MRI is also important in the work-up. Lesions are bright on T2 signal or FLAIR and are commonly found in the periventricular white matter.
Treatment: for our purposes, acute exacerbations require HIGH DOSE intravenous methylprednisone. Long-term treatment may include interferon-beta, glatiramer, or other immunosuppressant medications. Many patients require baclofen (orally, intrathecally) for spasticicty, and pain is managed with a range of medications. Amantadine may help with fatigue.
Two other disease topics discussed during conference included amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease. While important, we don't often see these present as primary complaints, obviously, but rather patient's present with complications of the underlying disease. Briefly, ALS is a progressive disease involving destruction of the upper and lower motor neuron units, leading to muscle atrophy and weakness. Ultimately, patient's often succumb to respiratory failure or other complications such as aspiration pneumonia and other infectious processes. Parkinson's disease is caused by loss of pigmented dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and development of Lewy bodies leading to symptoms to include tremor, (cogwheel) rigidity, akinesia, and postural instability. The most common reasons for patients presenting to the ED include infection, trauma (think falls), cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, gastrointestinal complaints, and electrolyte abnormalities. Orthostatic hypotension is a common reason for falls and can be secondary to medication side effects. Treatment really depends on the underlying cause for the presentation. An important point brought up by Dr. Kman is that drugs (i.e. antipsychotics) can lead to Parkinsonian features (or Parkinsonism) and are managed in a different manner.

Modern Floor Lamps Black
County / Günzburg (kai) - The extension of the district administration along the hospital road in Gunzburg will cost a maximum of six million euros. This upper limit set by the council. With a cost of about multiplication 30000-60000 euro, the county committee had to deal at its meeting on Monday. It was about the question: How should the workers housed there in future the light shine?
In administrative and other offices are modern ceiling lights with the standard fluorescent tubes. They would cost about 52 000 euros in new buildings of the district office. Peter Mucha, the responsible department head building management and building construction in the District Office, presented the two other county councils, innovative variants: floor lamps.
Depending on your decor style....
You might be able to run some cool track lighting on your ceiling....that would work with eclectic or modern style. If your style is more traditional, try more lamps on tables, or a floor lamp or two. If space is a problem, sconces or wall-mounted fixtures work well....you don't have to hard-wire them, just make sure you get a metal cord cover. Try GE Reveal bulbs in the lamps.2007-01-31 20:19:09 by index
Combo living room/library
Long rooms do well divided into separate areas for activities. Many living rooms accommodate a living/dining room. Sounds like you probably have your dining area elsewhere though.
I would suggest you create a seating/conversation area in one half of the living room, with the fireplace or a nice view as the focal point if possible. In the other half of the room, the half with the built-in shelves, create a library or study. Put a nice desk in the middle with visitors' chairs for a study. Or for a library, do it old style with a large reading table with reading lamps and side chairs
Maybe some artsy-fartsy folks can suggest....?
OK, here's my deal....
I'm a real nature lover. My apartment is somewhat minimalist...clean lines...clear colors...somewhat modern in style.
I love having plants in my apartment, but problem is...I have a VERY low light apartment. So most plants die. That said, I have particularly liked when I had TREE plants in my apartment. They are great for filling in 'air space'...for giving some height to your space...so everything is not at the same level. Tree plants add a nice 'architectural' flair to the space.
But I'm tired of my tree plants dying on me

The Off-patent Drugs Bill will be voted on in Parliament on November 6. I am campaigning in support of this Bill and hope that my local MP joins me and lends their support to this vital piece of legislation, which could benefit hundreds of thousands of patients across the UK.
upported by Breast Cancer Now, the UK's largest breast cancer charity, the Bill is designed to address the problem of making drugs that have fallen out of patent, but have since proved effective for clinical uses outside of their original licence, routinely available on the NHS.
If it successfully enters UK law, it will improve access to low-cost treatments for a range of conditions, including breast cancer, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's.
In order for it to progress a step closer to becoming law, 100 MPs need to turn up and vote in its favour this November.
Neglecting the clinical benefits of off-patent drugs is a huge oversight, especially as these drugs tend to be very low-cost.
Given the budgetary constraints on the NHS, surely this is exactly the type of opportunity that decision-makers should be embracing.
I would encourage others to join me and add their support to Breast Cancer Now's Unlock Drugs campaign by visiting breastcancernow.org/unlockdrugs

No fewer than 20 NFL teams watched former Clemson running back Andre Ellington go through a workout at the school on Friday, the Associated Press reported.
Ellington missed Clemson's Pro Day with a hamstring injury he aggravated at the Combine. According to Rivals.com, the hamstring is the same one that prematurely ended his Senior Bowl week.
According to the AP, Ellington was unofficially timed at 4.51 seconds in the 40-yard dash at Friday's workout. He was clocked at 4.61 in the 40 at Indianapolis. Ellington ran indoors on Friday, just like he did at the Combine.
Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris ranks Ellington third among running backs in the Class of 2013.

Many of the weather collection points are at the various research and education centers (RECs) or Extension offices around the state. The sites are listed in Table 1 and shown in Fig. 1. New FAWN sites are added periodically. FAWN provides data on air and soil temperatures, rainfall, dewpoint, relative humidity, windspeed, wind direction, and radiation.

What you're witnessing here is the crime of the century, as 15 men hold up a mail train in Buckinghamshire and escape with a haul equivalent to £41m.
But don't go calling Crimewatch yet – it happened half a century ago and this is merely the first still from a BBC drama about the infamous heist.
Screenwriter Chris Chibnall is currently TV's golden boy after his hit whodunit Broadchurch, and has structured his script as two 90-minute films, telling the story from different perspectives: A Robber's Tale and A Copper's Tale.
The first instalment, from which our exclusive picture is taken, stars Luke Evans as gang leader Bruce Reynolds. "It was easy to adapt to the Sixties wardrobe," Evans told ShortList. "Some of the suits I wore in the film I'd absolutely wear off-screen." As for a Welshman playing a Cockney, Evans says: "I've lived in London for 17 years, so I hope my accent's convincing. I acted alongside some real Cockneys and it majorly rubbed off, to the extent that I ended up keeping the accent for weeks."
The second part follows 'thief-taker' DCI Tommy Butler (played by Jim Broadbent) and his quest to bring the robbers to justice. Both dramas will be broadcast on BBC One later this year and should banish memories of 1988's 'comedy' version Buster – starring a certain Phil Collins – for good.
The Great Train Robbery is on BBC One later this year

The introduction of Optiq® on cash markets follows the implementation of the Market Data Gateway in July 2017 and the migration of fixed income instruments to the platform in April 2018[1].

Euronext will continue to work closely with its clients to optimise the use of the platform and make the most of Optiq®'s technological advantages for their benefit.
For Euronext, this new milestone brings a significant reduction in hardware footprint and a tenfold increase in capacity. It also paves the way for the migration of Euronext Dublin's cash markets onto Optiq®, which is planned in Q4 2018[2]. Optiq® will also power Euronext's new ETF MTF as part of the Agility for Growth strategic plan.
Euronext offers Optiq® to other leading exchanges and venue operators; Luxembourg Stock Exchange is already benefiting from Optiq® and five other exchanges around the world have begun Optiq® migration projects.
Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said: "The delivery of Optiq® for our cash equity products is a turning point for Euronext. Proprietary technology is the propelling power of stock exchanges, and our new platform will enhance our agility and independence, strengthen the value proposition of our federal model, and foster innovation, for the full benefit of our clients.

I was red hot and ready to roll with the Safeway deals yesterday morning. I dropped off my daughter at a birthday party and came home to start some serious postin'.
As I sat down with the ad, I couldn't figure out why my limbs felt like a ton of bricks. Then I couldn't figure out why I was so tired. Then I started getting cold, even though it was getting hot outside.
Then it dawned on me that maybe I was sick.
I called my husband and let him know that he would not be working much and set up a bed in the middle of the living room. Needless to say, the room was trashed after about 45 minutes of two preschoolers and a baby running around like maniacs while their mother dozed.
I'm feeling much better today and the most wonderful thing happened this morning as I was picking up the disaster that once was my living room. My husband said to me, "I realized yesterday that you actually do pick-up the house during the day." Of course, I've told him many times that these four little people can destroy a room in a matter of seconds. But now he has actually experienced it. Seriously, it was the sweetest thing he could have said to me today.
Isn't it funny what moms consider compliments?

This is a sample of some of the work I have done with 6crickets.
I currently work with a company called 6crickets. They are a registration platform for summer camps and after-school classes, and also offer services to help parents find and schedule these camps and classes.
My primary role with the company is to offer technical support, but occassionally I also create some graphics and ads for their marketing ventures. Below are some of the projects I have done for them so far.
One thing to keep in mind, I was also creating these graphics while I was still providing technical support and performing other tasks required in my role.

I work with offshore developers frequently, so I'm used to this. But did anyone bother to actually read through the messages? The grammar and phrasing just plain sucks!
For instance:
"You don't have enough permission for upload avatar"
change to :
"You don't have permission to upload an avatar"
(of course, since I'm logged in as an Admin I *should* have all the permission I need.)
In setting this up I've found a number of bugs, and other reports here indicate that you guys didn't really give this a thorough going over before throwing it out the door. I expect better quality from a paid product (granted, the cost was low, but basic functionality should work properly).
Kinda disappointed.
