Fort Worth
Boat tours in Fort Worth? This company wants to show you the Trinity River
Downtown Fort Worth glows with the summer sunset. It's a sweeping cityscape view from the Cultural District, Trinity Park or the Fourth Street bridge.
But what about from a boat in the Trinity River? While you're eating dinner?
That's the promise of Panther Island Boat Tours, which hopes to bring river tours to the Trinity. The Waco-based company received permission Tuesday from the Tarrant Regional Water District to operate a 30-foot tour boat in the river near downtown. Ryan Helm, captain and owner, said he plans to have his pontoon boat in the water by mid-July with three types of tours.
The boat can carry up to 20 during hour-long family and nighttime tours and about 16 for a two-hour sunset dinner cruise. Helm said he anticipates two to three tours on the weekdays and as many as 10 on the weekends.
The tours will leave from a dock near Panther Island Pavilion and head northwest down the West Fork to near White Settlement. It'll will return to downtown and take a jaunt down the Clear Fork to the first Trinity Park dam. This is the longest and deepest portion of the river as it flows through Fort Worth, providing enough room for a pontoon boat to navigate.
The goal is to promote a connection to the river and increase activity on the waterfront, said Shanna Cate, the water district's director of programming and development. The tour will offer historical context about Fort Worth's settlement on the river as well as information about the water district and river life.
"We'll almost be like an ambassador to the river," Helm said.
Dinner is optional on the sunset cruise and will be catered by a restaurant, Helm said. Alcohol is allowed, but it's BYOB.
Helm's Waco River Safari tours have shuttled sightseers down the Brazos River for about two years. He said activities on the river, including Panther Island Pavilion concerts, and the river's proximity to downtown attracted him to Fort Worth.
The pontoon boat has twin engines and is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard for four-foot waves, he said. Tours won't run when the Trinity is in a flood stage.
The three year deal comes with minimal cost to the water district — the contract simply allows the boat will use an existing dock at Panther Island Pavilion
Three Trinity River Tours have varying prices, and a the boat can be reserved for events and parties.
- 1 Hour Family Tour: $15 adult, $9 children, $3 toddlers
- 2 Hour Sunset Dinner Tour: $39 plus cost of optional meal
- 1 Hour Night Tour: $15 adult, $9 children

'It's a harsh call' - Jim Gavin defends Paul Mannion after red card against Louth
JIM Gavin was adamant that Paul Mannion did not deserve to be sent off during Dublin's opening Leinster SFC victory over Louth in O'Moore Park tonight.
The Dubs sauntered to a 26-point victory in their first match of this year's provincial Championship, the only blight on which was Mannion's straight red card for a frontal challenge on Conal McKeever in the 24th minute.
"My first thoughts on it having seen it live, I thought he tackled him and the ball just popped up," stressed the Dublin manager.
"Certainly from my perspective, it didn't warrant a red card. Possibly a yellow."
By way of comparison, Gavin referenced the tackle by Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan that resulted in Paddy Andrews suffering a broken jaw in the recent League match in Croke Park for which Morgan received just a yellow card.
"The Louth player got up afterwards and played on, unlike Paddy Andrews. He didn't and he broke a jaw. They were completely different tackles. Paul got the ball first, probably braced himself.
"We'll see it slowed down into various frames and we can make an assessment then. But my initial reaction is it's a harsh call. Thankfully it didn't upset the rhythm of the game for us.

"Paul's a strong guy. He's a big man. He's six-two. I thought the Louth player crouched a little bit, which probably didn't help him. But the Louth guy got up and played on. But initial reaction is it's certainly not a red card."
As it stands, Mannion will be suspended for Dublin's Leinster semi-final against Kildare or Longford on June 9 unless he successfully appeals.
Asked whether Dublin would attempt to overturn the ban, Gavin stressed: "It's probably unfair for me to give a full assessment until I see it again. We'll have to have a really close look at it. Because it wouldn't be in his nature...I can't remember the last time Paul would have gotten a red card."
Tonight's match featured a return to inter-county football after almost four years for Rory O'Carroll. And though Gavin did not mention Diarmuid Connolly in his post-match interview, the insisted his panel was open for any player who shows suitable form for their club over the coming weeks.

It is the process of passing through different stages of development from egg to the adult stage, in insects.
Metamorphosis is of two types:
(i) Complete metamorphosis.
(ii) Incomplete metamorphosis.
Complete Metamorphosis is the development of an insect through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages.
The young one, the larva hatches out of the egg. It feeds actively and then encloses itself in a cover to become a pupa.
The pupa apparently is dormant but development takes place inside. The capsule then breaks and comes out the adult insect.
Examples: Example of insects in which complete metamorphosis takes places is mosquitoes, house flies.
In this type, the young one called nymph emerges out of the egg. It is a miniature young one which closely resembles the adult except that it lacks wings. Reproductive organs are immature. The nymph becomes adult after the development of wings and reproductive organs.
Examples of insects: Cockroach, Termite.

Just wanted to suggest something I feel is missing from most RPGs today, and something I know was discussed (post launch at least) with PoE1: one-handed swords as only weapon. No shield, no off-hand, and certainly no two-handed log of a weapon My reasoning is that if you look at most fantasy books (and movies), many of the characters opt for a one- to one-and-a-half (bastard?) handed swords, instead of wielding a huge lumbering claymore. This would be a master swordsman, who strikes with speed and precision, relies on parries and dodge (to some degree), though not neccessarily the "ninja" style of a rogue. Think in the lines of Al'Lan Mandragoran from the Wheel of Time.
I got my hands on the White March 1 & 2 at last (very good expansions, btw, especially the 2nd) and playing the game again after so long, something occured to me that I didn't notice (or didn't care for some reason?) at the first time: humanoid opponents behave like midless beasts when it comes to initiate combat. What I mean: I was walking around some military encampment, trying to find a way to slip in and a lonesome guard notices me an my party of 6 high level, heavily armed adventurers. What does th he do? Charges at us in melee and, naturally, dies in seconds. And I though "what an idiotic behavior!". I mean, shouldn't he run for assistance, trying to alarm the other guards that a group of dangerous looking strangers sneaking around? Of course he should. But the game treats all opponents as "monsters". As soon as green meets red, combat to the death occurs. I'd like to point this as a suggestion for the devs to consider implementing in the sequel. Humanoids should have a way to "measure" situtations. If enemy is way more powerful, maybe they should run, try calling for backup or -if there's nowere to go- have a fear debuff and a cornered buff, or somethings like that. Sorry in advance if this topic has already been discussed somewhere else.
Attacking Issue
viruk1 posted a question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)I got the game recently and was really looking forward to playing but I'm having some issue when trying to attack in game. Whenever I select an enemy to attack, my character performs a walk action to the target instead. If I don't have AI turned on, my character just walks up and stop in front of the enemy and not attack. This occurs with a character that has a ranged weapon equipped also, instead of attacking the enemy (that's within range) the order becomes a movement action instead. Eg. I select an enemy to attack, my ranged character walks right next to the enemy and just stands there. It will attack the enemy if I set the AI to be defensive etc. but only after walking right up to the enemy. I've taken a screenshot as an example below: This is at the beginning of the game, I am surrounded by Xaurips. I have turned off the AI (to show the issue). I selected the bottom right Xaurip as my attack target. You'll notice that there is a small green circle underneath that enemy, my character will then try to walk towards that spot (walking around the enemy if needed) and then just stand there not attacking (you'll notice the portrait shows a movement action also). Is the combat supposed to be like this? The way I am playing now, is to set the AI to defensive and then just let my characters attack by themselves. I am unable to choose which enemy I want to target because if I try to, it stops the auto attack AI and my character just walks around the enemy before stopping and the auto attack AI kicks in again. I have the latest patch (bought via steam) and have searched the net for this issue (but only found a few people experiencing this and no fix offered) Really hoping I can find a fix to this as I cannot plan my battles but instead let the auto attack do the work...
Namaste. I got an issue with quest-NPCs not turning hostile after dialogues, when they contextually should do so. This problem occurs in every quest, where I need to fight or kill for progress. In this case I run the quest "Built to Last". I enter the abandoned house at Ondra's Gift, traverse through the corridor and open the left door. The quest triggers. I maneuver through the dialogue until it says: "Dodwyna- She raises her flail and rushes at you." She should turn hostile now, i thought. But the circle around her is still grass-green. I can't attack her and she won't attack me. I can talk to Vianna and she acts like I saved her. She says I can now take the quest-item from Dodwyna's corpse. But the undead corpse still ignores me and my needs. Well yeah... and this error occurs in every similar quest. Here I uploaded you some files: savegame right before this issue, at the entrance of the abandoned house https://www.dropbox.com/s/02enbjqcilajpwr/9155b50c-be1c-4bcb-bf37-856ec2545664%20autosave_2.savegame?dl=0 savegame created at the same time as the screenshot was taken/ during the issue https://www.dropbox.com/s/oql77c396k2vd4d/9155b50cbe1c4bcbbf37856ec2545664%2012685446%20AbandonedHouse.savegame?dl=0 output_log https://www.dropbox.com/s/s3f6j0ol17e3hr1/output_log.txt?dl=0 Further informations: The game is patched. The game cache has been verified several times - without success, no files were faulty. Here are some postings from my earlier unsolved issue, where i couldn't fight enemies at all. That is not the matter now. The problem has changed after the patch, it seems. Greetings Warhamster
Another big bug from my single playthrough that I didn't found posted here. So.. I simply entered Galwain's Maw to turn Larha's quest and right after loading into level my party entered combat stance. Some NPCs are also in an attack posture, however no one attacks me. I ran through all hallways but there is no enemy in reach nor stuck in walls or something. I found that it is not a single bug that happened only to me - http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32573 I almost did all quests possible in the game, also Galwain's with Sul and Oernos before the issue occurred (did it yesterday<?>). It is possible that I picked up the quest from Larha and resolved Sul-Oernos conflict without leaving Galwain's Maw, so it is probably my second visit here. I closed the game without saving it and copied outputlog here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/btugw2 After loading the save the issue didn't occurred again, however it probably may be useful for you: https://www.sendspace.com/file/vmm46z
Anyone every notice, once you use a chanter's summon ability, the enemies instantly stop attacking your party and go directly for the summons? It almost feels as if this breaks combat.
Release Giacco from his cell in Raedric's hold. Then accept Raedric's offer and turn against Kolsc. Go to Kolsc's hut in Magran's Fork and attack Giacco. The rest of Kolsc's crew doesn't react, except for going into combat idle animations. They won't attack you while you fight Giacco. When Giacco is dead and the game shifts out of combat mode, everyone returns to normal idle animations.
The last time I played POE, I died on path of the damned difficulty. I had no idea my ranger wasn't firing her arquebus even though I queued her attacks. Had I known my ranger got interrupted, I would've won the fight by a hair. It turns out the Druid Ogres I were fighting were able to cancel all queued attacks whenever they attack with their spells. It would be great if you could add a feature that auto pauses combat when a companions queued attacks get canceled/interrupted for any reason. Thanks!
Already in the first encounter with the young wolves that guard the berry bush, when I hover over one of them I know its DR and all defenses other than reflex. However, in the bestiary, after killing 2, I only know their DR rating. Is it intentional? Edit: ah I see, it actually starts with ?? but gets unhidden during the fight.
i have to say i for one am very pleased. i was a bit surprised at first at all the disengagements by the enemy, but i think it only makes sense for my opponents to go after the squishy big hitters. after all that's what i am doing, too pallegina (specced as a kind of off-tank/support/dd) seems to do decent en passant strikes and now i am glad i took her along instead of aloth. before she was kind of redundant in my setup. edér is still pretty great: one time i accidentally pulled another group and i would have wiped if it weren't for him. he finished off the last 4 mobs alone with the help of the sanguine plate i needed to kite a little bit with GM, which i didn't mind. i've only done the first crägholdt map so far but i already learned to keep her way back at the start of fights. she probably will switch from robes to padded armor in the future. i am playing on hard btw. but yeah, from my first experience combat seems a lot tougher, more punishing and more positionally dynamic. it's going to take quite a bit longer to get through the game now. what do you think about it? i haven't experimented with the new party AI at all. what are your experiences with it so far?
I have finally sat down, having had some time with PoE and can say without a doubt this is one of the finest rpg's I have ever played. Immediately you start the game you know Pillars is going to be something special when you hear that incredible music, and oh what music it is! At once, chilling, yet eliciting wonder and mythology reflective of all the great English, Saxon and Scandanavian tomes such as Beowulf; story, characterisation, combat, PoE has it all. Thank you so much Obsidian, you have given hope to an old-school gamer who had thought that the suits at EA and Ubisoft ruled unchallenged. Thank the Gods for you, Kickstarter, Bards Tale and Inxile, my gaming time looks ready to be full with the likes of PoE, Torment 2, Bards tale and Wasteland 2. If there is a god he is smiling down on Irvine, ca.
Combat Replays
Alabasster posted a topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I am currently working my way through the Endless Paths and it occurred to me how nice it would be to see a replay of my most recent battle or even the most epic battles of my 'campaign'. As players we spend all of our combat time micro-managing the scenario with very little time to sit back and enjoy the show. Imagine, at the conclusion of a long and draining battle being able to watch the encounter again at a preferred speed and, do I dream too much, perspective. There could be a site where players post their encounters for other players to rate and comment on, glory beckons! Food for thought anyway. And yes, I do know about You Tube.
Alright, so, first off, I backed the kickstarter and I've been following it since the beginning, I love the setting and the story so far, the plot's great, and aside from being unable to get through the doors in the mad lord's keep I've not run into anything particularly glitchy. The problem is, I'm playing a monk, and I have no idea how. The game told me to put a lot of points in Dexterity and Constitution, which I did, then suggested Might. So I put those points in, and the problem I've run into is that a standard combat is thus: Walk into room Get seen by Xaurip Skirmisher Get hit by single, unbuffed arrow Take 102 points of damage, fall over and die Rest of party wipes the floor with the encounter Rinse and repeat, replacing "Xaurip Skirmisher" with any archer, mage or priest. What am I doing wrong? If I use the fighters to aggro the enemies, I don't take any damage, meaning I don't take wounds, meaning I can't deal damage. If I charge in ahead, every enemy in the room gangbangs me to death or an archer/gunner blows me away before I even reach combat. I'm level six at this point, so I'd really appreciate the help.
I really hope there are resources and the will from the developer's side to address these two, major issues present in PoE's combat: -Enemy AI We've been informed during development that there was not enough time to properly develop enemy AI, as a result enemies take simple decisions and act in a similar fashion despite their type. Combat will be a lot more colourful and challenging if this would be to be taken care of. -Option to Escape Combat A rare few parties may manage it, but certainly not the majority of them and since PoE is a game where you may end up fighting enemies tougher than you, the option to escape should be there. It could be done via an 'escape button' (not unlike scouting button) that enables the party to run at an increased mv rate, albeit applying a penalty on defenses, so as to outrun enemies and get out of the aggro zone. It will be risky, having to suffer from disengagement and all, but the option should be there. Thoughts ?
Hi all! Really liking PoE so far. Only 20-something hours in, about half way through Act 2 & I've got a question regarding my party's damage output, specifically why it seems so low. Whole party is level 6. Eder (Heaviest armor i can find, shield, fine sabre) Aloth (leather armor, fine wand) Durance (fine robe, fine wand) Kana (heaviest armor available, shield, fine hatchet) Pelligrina (Heaviest armor available, shield, fine pike / spear thing) Cipher [me] (fine leather armor, fine war bow / lead spitter, key spells used are Mental Binding & Mind Blades) recently been doing some quests around Defiance Bay, and I've noticed that my damage output seems really low. like, each party member is only doing 2-5 damage per hit. without spoilers, the enemies i've been facing recently all have a DR of about 10-15 & I'm hitting for the MIN damage value more often than not. Have I done something wrong gear or skill-wise? should I be hitting harder at this level? most fights at the moment are drawn-out wars of attrition. my casters drop before too long coz I cant defeat anything quick enough & my front line just sit there slowly hacking away. most of the time, they get the job done, but it takes ages & I cant help but feel I'm doing something wrong. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So, been wondering this for a while: does the One-Handed Style talent negate Weapon & Shield Style, or vice versa? I honestly don't think it does but just wanted to check.
And I think the Magic Missile spell is a good example of what I don't like about magic in Eternity. (For those who don't know, Magic Missile is a D&D level 1 spell that most wizards or sorcerers start out with). The Magic Missile spell was awesome in the old IE games because it scaled with your level--the higher your level, the more missiles you could shoot, the more missiles you could shoot the more damage you could do. It was great. That made the Magic Missile spell useful even at high-levels. It was also a great visual indicator of character growth. When I hit level 2 in Baldur's Gate, for example, I don't feel like I'm getting stronger because I can do slightly more damage and have slightly better stats--I feel stronger because instead of shooting out one dinky missile, I shoot two. And then hours later when my wizard is blasting 10 missiles from each fingertip--that feels truly badass. Which brings me to Pillars of Eternity. None of the magic (that I've seen so far) scales with the player, so low-level spells very quickly lose relevance. There are also no visual or mechanical changes to the spells... and that's really disappointing to me. I love Pillars of Eternity, don't get me wrong: it's almost everything I'd hoped it would be. But I always play a wizard/sorcerer character in games like this, so it's disappointing to see that Pillars of Eternity is yet another in a long list of CRPGs that simply fails to (even try to) reach the same level as the old IE games.
I have the Linux version from Steam. I play an all-ranger party on PotD. I first encountered this bug on the 13th level of Od Nua; I lured a bunch of monsters from a larger group in one of the rooms out into a corridor to kill them separately, a tactic I've been using the entire game. I killed all the mosters close-by, but I noticed I was stuck in combat mode, so no regen, travel, or anything. I tried to resolve it by killing the rest of the group, which was pretty small at that point, so I gave my figurines a stretch and managed to solve this unplanned complication without regenerating. The second instnace occurred while fighting the undead Raedric. I managed to isolate Raedric from his fampyrs and kill him by a thin margin, but again, the combat didn't end, and I was too exhausted to do anything about the herd of fampyrs still remaining, and had to load. When will this bug be fixed? It's incredibly annoying, having to reload after just winning a difficult boss fight. Luring enemies away worked just fine before, so why not in these two cases?
I figure someone else must have noticed this, but applying several overlapping debuffs breaks, quite often. Apply a prone debuff to an enemy. Before that debuff expires, apply a petrify debuff to the same enemy. Result: After prone wears off, the enemy will stand up and start attacking you, despite showing the petrify debuff as still active. This also happens if you apply a prone debuff twice. Instead of the newer prone overriding the duration of the older prone, the enemy will simply stand up and start attacking again (despite being under the effect of the second prone).
Bryy posted a topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Grazes seem to serve no real purpose and are not explained at all. Well, other than buffing the perk lists that is. Right now, they are way too common, instead of what they should be which is uncommon. A graze should be something that gives your character some breathing room in the endgame of a fight, or makes them go "oh ffff". Right now, grazes are so common that they should just be called regular damage.
POE has a Gameplay option named similarly to an old Infinity Engine one: Auto-pause on Weapon Ineffective. The purpose of this gameplay feature has historically been to let you know when the weapon you're using to attack your target is ineffective, whether due to innate damage reduction, protection spells, or your weapon broke among others. In POE, I enabled this option because it's useful information to be alerted to, and I was confused because it was going off all the time from my very first combat encounter - nearly every round in combat with: Auto-pause: Weapon ineffective (your character name). My character's a fighter and came with a sword and I was thinking, "Are they really throwing enemies that are highly resistant to swords this early in the game?! They're just bandits!". A little later on when I was fighting a single young wolf, I paid special attention to what was going on. I finally noticed that it was only auto-pausing with the weapon ineffective message every time *I* was hit by the enemy. It's pausing to alert me that the enemy's weapon is ineffective on me. If it's intentional, this seems completely backwards and broken compared to previous implementations of the feature and for it to have any use in this game. (I posted this in general and it was suggested that I post it here in the tech support forums.)
I made my rogue attack who has 20 might ( 1.3 ) execptional pike (averge 27 dmg) I expect him do average damage per hit before DR 27 * 1.3(might) * 1.2(reckless assault) * 1.15(two-handed fighting) * 1.6( sneak attack with glanfathan boots) * 1.5 (crit) = 116.2 damage or (1 + 0.3(might) * 0.2(reckless assault) * 0.15(two-handed fighting) * 0.6( sneak attack with glanfathan boots) * 0.5 (crit)) = 2.75 27 * 2.75 = 74.25 damage But actullay my rogue did average 65 damage(before DR) per crit ( from 50 samples) may be my sample is too small but I want to know my damage multiplier stacks properly. ( And I think there is more who want to know his damage multiplier) If it is too difficult and messy, just show us final multiplier (item mod+might mod+modal mod+crit mod+sneak mod+etc) it will be great help for me Thank you.
Why is the answer so obvious? Is it because it makes sense? Is it because we've seen the scenario a thousand times already and know how it plays out? If the right answer is so obvious then why isn't that an available option for players to start combat with? Why must the player, like a solo spellcaster, be forced into choosing option 1, 2, or 3 to start combat with any enemy? Why have we been content to sit back and sign it off as "oh, well, that's just how it is?" I don't mind some abilities being restricted to combat-only. I agree that many should be combat-only in fact. What I do mind is that I have no way to simply declare a state of mutual combat so that I can cast that in-combat-only ability as my first action instead of having to suffer the recovery frames from a senseless ranged attack or become too close to the enemy and allow them to declare combat. Solution? A Declare Combat button. By pressing the button while highlighting an enemy or friendly unit within range (open to suggestions) a state of combat is declared. Both the enemy and the player are drawn into combat as though a physical aggression against them were made. From an immersion or lore sense this could be achieved by suggesting the enemy became alerted to your presence by a shout, your weapon became unsheathed and you assumed a combatitive posture, or even that some choice dialogue had taken place. It could even be named the "Draw Weapons" button or "Shout" button. Whatever. I mean... this state of immediate combat is already made able to be declared through dialogue choices. Saying something aggressive in a dialogue choice doesn't require you or the enemy to make a physical attack to start combat. I am submitting this in the technical support forum as, after consideration, I truly believe the lack of this mechanic is an actual issue with the game. I've spent several "hours" in recovery frames that were counterproductive to my cause. It makes no sense whatsoever that the player has to sacrifice distance or that the player has to sacrifice recovery time to start combat where an enemy has to do neither and instead gets to take their ideal first action from their safe distance. This makes little to no difference for large parties- I'd actually prefer to open with a beefy archer ranged attack so that I can land a strong preemptive blow! And once combat is started with that arrow landing using my ideal first spell with my caster. With a solo spellcaster though you're not benefitting from a weak ranged attack as your opening move. You're not benefitting from forcing yourself to get close to the enemy, sometimes even immediately within melee range due to small rooms or corners or teleporting enemies. This isn't just restricted to solo spellcasters though it hits them the hardest. A lot of solo adventurers could benefit from the mechanic that's already used by enemies but not even an option to the player. You're a solo adventurer and see a group of 5 enemies? You know your first priority against this group is using your figurine for a summon? Well you'd best get close to the enemy to alert them, or perform a ranged attack and pray you have a low recovery so you have enough time to use your item before the enemies have teleported to you, peppered you with arrows, cast all forms of spells, or simply closed enough distance that they'll still engage you once the summon is cast (if you're lucky to afford that much time even). Because these are your options. Or, hey, why not just declare combat with a button and be able to take your first action, how you see fit, in a combat state with the enemy? Again- this isn't an issue with abilities or items being only available during combat. That's a whole other arena of debate. Items like scrolls of stealth should be allowed to be used outside of combat. I understand the restrictions in almost all other cases. This is an issue with having to take unwanted actions or place yourself in unrealistic distances of an enemy just to start the combat state. This is an issue with not having a means to start combat without an action against both friendly and hostile npcs. If dialogue can start combat without action, if enemies can start combat without action, why can't the player? This is a reiteration of a previous post that I have chosen to abandon as I communicated the idea poorly. Thank you.
A group of issues, all either introduced with the most recent patch & hotfix, or which were in the launch version on Steam and persist post-patch. Win 7 64 bit, 8gb RAM, GTX 660 video Thanks in advance! New glitches: Roderic's Hold -- Unable to reproduce (will try some things later and upload a save if I can trigger it again) but I have screenshots - Went through hold, entering via climbing vines in NW corner. Killed many of the enemy groups in there except Roderick's group and mercs near the front doors. Wore priest robes to bypass floor full of priests (and loot it clean - possibly WIA, but wearing the robes allows looting of every container on that floor safely). When I went to the front door area (both inside and outside), enemies were red as usual, but most of them simply stayed put, and made no attempt to fight me even if I had attacked them; affected melee enemies would not even move to my position. Once it began, this behavior carried over to other areas of the Hold where I had not yet killed all of the enemies. Stronghold - "bad" visitor shows up, has an escort assigned. After save & load, his effect on stats is no longer shown on his status screen, though the penalties are still in effect Pet names sometimes doubled (one on top of the other, with an Endurance meter) -- only happens in combat Old glitches still in there: Books with really really tiny text titles at default font size -- Increasing size fixes those but makes many others oversized Not all Stronghold updates show up (esp building completed messages) (no screenies because...well...^_^:>) Stronghold messages queue hotkey (on the left) shows a number even though there is nothing on the list Stronghold messages -- Sometimes "Recall" will change to "Assign" even when an ally is already assigned to a Stronghold mini-quest Item names sometimes blank in shops -- scrolling the item off of the screen and then back on, or exiting and re-entering shop usually fixes this All screenshots may be found here, named to suit: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/y0qwc94mub9nv/set_01
I don't expect this game to be balanced league of legends style. I know there has always been unbalanced spells / abilities in IE games yet since they did so many good changes I wonder why was there no further insight into this mechanic. Just take a look at first level wizard spells. Fan of flames (40 -55) vs Reflex (+ 10 acc) [most of the time you can target a large group] Kalakoth's Sunless Grasp (19-28) and a -10 acc debuff. vs delfection ( + 10 acc) [ 1 target ] Minoletta Minor Missiles (30 -54) [1 target] vs deflection Discarding the -10 acc de buff which is minor anyway there is only one clear winner. Consider also that 2nd one has supper close range, you risk losing the wizard when casting. I know Fan of flames is theoretically more difficult to use but most of the time you won't have any problems. I don't see any logic in this design. Heavy aoe spells where you can target almost all enemies from an encounter should have lower damage than the spells that target 1 individual. Otherwise why bother? Spells that require the wizard to come close to the target should be greatly buffed so the risk / reward balance is satisfied. Edited: I forgot to add the the 2 latter spells are rolled vs deflection. Most of monsters have more deflection than reflex so they are harder to hit also. At least that's the case on PoD. I will repeat myself : I don't expect the devs to balance this game like league of legends but it doesn't make any sense to me.

FOX ( make an amazing variety of noises- up to 20 different calls it is…
make an amazing variety of noises- up to 20 different calls it is believed.
the most distinct sound most foxes make is a chuckling type noise called a "gekker".
Foxes will gekker when they are fighting or playing.
the male being known as a "reynard"
the female, naturally, a "vixen"
The red fox in particular is extremely skilled at adapting to almost any environment.
living in every region of the Northern Hemisphere including Central America, and having been introduced by humans to Australia
Many other fox species are endangered or threatened, unable to adapt to human encroachment, while the red fox enjoys healthy populations all over the world.
The red fox is the most wide-spread carnivore in the world
foxes are small members of the dog family, the largest of which is the typical red fox.
there are over 30 species of fox living in an amazing variety of environments all over the world.
They are solitary hunters even if living in a family group,
they are members of the canine family, fox species don't bark like domestic dogs do.
foxes bones are about 30% lighter than the same size bone of a domestic dog.
Foxes live in small groups, or alone.
They don't have the kind of intense social structure we connect with other canines like the wolf and the dog.
they are notorious for killing extra prey and burying it for later.
in general, are very bright, inquisitive and intelligent animals.
The familiar fox that is most common in legend and lore is the red fox,

One of the toughest roads on the planet.
The fully-electric 670 horsepower Volkswagen ID.R has been hard at work breaking records this past year. In the hands of two-times Le Mans winner Romain Dumas it already set records at Pikes Peak and the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018 and will go on to challenge for the Nurburgring EV record soon.
But one challenge it plans to take on in September this year has never been done before, and that is to set a time on the Tianmen Shan Big Gate road in China, a gruelling 6.8-mile long ribbon of road incorporating 99 corners that snakes up the side of Tianmen mountain.
Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets: "Tianmen has a mystical status in China, where it is known as 'Heaven's Gate'. The route is one of the most extraordinary and difficult roads in the world – another special challenge for the ID. R. Our goal is to set a new milestone for electric vehicles and, in doing so, to support Volkswagen's E-strategy in China, which is really picking up speed this year."
Aside from buses used to transport tourists to the top of this impressive mountain, the road is closed to the public and no record attempt has ever been done here so the ID.R will be the first to set an official time. Volkswagen China will be running a competition ahead of time where participants will be able to set their own virtual times up the road which Dumas will attempt to beat under real conditions in September.
Dr. Stephan Wöllenstein, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand and CEO Volkswagen China: "The Volkswagen ID. R is an icon, which perfectly embodies our passion for E-mobility and our expertise in the development of electric drive technology. We can use the experience gained in the field of motorsport to further enhance that expertise and can incorporate it in the assembly of electric production models."
With the very likely possibility that all EU member states will have mandatory speed limiters in new cars from 2022-on, (hopefully such a proposal will be shot down by US lawmakers but you never know) the benefits of that instant off-the-line acceleration provided by EVs may become the last bit of fun we can have in our cars. Still, imagine your daily driver being able to hit 62 mph in the same 2.25 seconds that it takes the ID.R.

KARACHI: Pakistan became Asia's worst football team when they plummeted to an all-time low of 201st in the FIFA rankings on Thursday.
The new rankings list, for the month of April, represents a fall of three places from last month for Pakistan.
Pakistan were ranked 198th in February and March, having started the year at 197th.
They are now four places behind Sri Lanka in Asia and there are just 10 countries between them and rock-bottom in the overall standings.The game in the country has suffered over the last year with the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) having split into two factions following a bitter dispute ahead of the presidential election in June 2015.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) has since ruled that Faisal Saleh Hayat, the man who is recognised as PFF president by world's football governing body FIFA, is no longer the country's football chief and ordered fresh elections.
The national team's last match was a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Yemen in March 2015.

Team sports are not - and have never been - excluded from the war chest of financial support set aside for high performance sport.
However, the reality is that team sports are starkly different from individual sports when viewed in terms of a return on investment, said Sport Singapore (SportSG) chief executive officer Lim Teck Yin.
"It is quite obvious when you think about being very targeted (about where funding goes) that you would gravitate towards the individual sports," he said at a media briefing held yesterday at the National Youth Sports Institute.
Lim was expanding on the Government's recent pledge of an additional $50 million, as well as a new One Team Singapore dollar-for-dollar matching grant, that could see the pot for funding of top athletes expand by as much as another $150 million over five years.
He added: "Conceptually, we have never ruled out an individual who is part of a team for, potentially, asking to be a Sports Excellence (spex) scholar."
There are people prepared to meet that position of commitment.
LOW TEO PING, Singapore Rugby Union president, on whether there is a potential core of rugby players to earn financial support.
No recipient of the spexScholarship - the support programme for elite athletes - has hailed from a team sport since the scheme started in 2013.
Furthermore, neither Project 0812 nor the Olympic Pathway Programme, the two initiatives that preceded the spexScholarship, included any athletes from team sports.
Rather than a conscious exclusion of team sports, it is more a reflection of the strengths of Team Singapore athletes, as well as an attempt to capitalise on the Republic's most likely paths to success.
Lim said SportSG is open to putting top-dollar investment into team sports. However, for the idea to bear "material effect", it would demand considerable commitment from the core of a team that has the potential to perform at least at the continental level and beyond.
A former national water polo player, Lim drew an analogy using the sport.
At least five or six who make up the starting seven would be expected to take up a full-time training load, perhaps training out of a base like Australia, before the proposal is worth considering.
He said: "We should really be targeting to push for world, Olympic, Paralympic (and the) Asia level. From a return on investment point of view, the team sport model cannot be the same as (that of an) individual sport."
Singapore Rugby Union president Low Teo Ping, who had wondered if team sports remained "within the radar screen", welcomed the clarification.
He also feels that there are national athletes from rugby - as well as other team sports - who are prepared to make this leap of faith.
Said Low: "That gives some clarity and it's very encouraging.
"I believe there are people prepared to meet that position of commitment.
"We definitely would like to work towards it and I think it's very tenable."

If you like Scripture then this article is for you. If you don't like Scripture you may find it boring. Since Scripture is God's Word to us, I trust all believers will be uplifted and fed by the truth found within these passages.
When I did a search on this topic I found some 100 related passages. Clearly I had to pare the list down for our purposes. I was a bit surprised to find exactly how many passages directly state, or clearly show the truth of the fact, that it is God who sustains our souls and not man. I was not surprised to find out God is the one who sustains, but I was surprised at the number of explicit passages.
God sustains our souls, God keeps us, God saves us, God predestines and elects us. Despite the popular belief that we have something to do with the keeping of our souls, that we have enough power as sinful man to undo what God has done, it is simply a faulty interpretation when compared to the whole counsel of God.
Ephesians 1:11, "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,"
Point: "obtained" is in the past tense, it is an act that has been completed. We have the inheritance, we don't have it taken away by any outside force, including ourselves. The act was "predestined" by God for His purposes.
Romans 8:29, "For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."
Point: Again, those who are saved and "conformed to the image of his Son" have been predestined to this position. Does God "un-predestine" us? Can we "un-predestine" ourselves?" The answer is clearly,
Hebrews 1:3, "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,"
Point: Jesus is very God and is in full and absolute control of all. He purified us from our sins and then "sat down at the right hand" of God Almighty. This sitting down to rule and reign signifies an accomplished work, not a work that can be taken out of His rule and reign by us or any other force.
Psalm 139:1-4, "To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. …"
Point: God is clearly Omniscient, He knows all things from beginning to end. He knows our very actions. What would be the point or purpose to supposedly grant salvation to one only knowing later He would remove it?
1 Peter 1:23, "Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;"
Point: How does Peter describe the seed we have been born again by, "imperishable." Through Jesus Christ, "the living and abiding word of God" our conversion experience, our being born again, is imperishable. For it were able to be removed from our souls it would need to be perishable, which the passage clearly states it is not.
Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Point: Most of us know this verse, or at least know of it, however, few truly comprehend it. We are saved "by grace…through faith…not of your own doing; it is a gift of God, not…works, so that no one may boast." We are saved by grace, which is not from us. We are saved through faith, which is not of us. The nearest referent to "this" is "faith." It is the "faith" that is being referred to as "not our own doing." The very thing God requires of us, "faith," He gives to us. Our salvation has nothing to do with our works, so how can our works have anything to do with losing such a precious gift from God?Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Point: "Crucified," past tense. An already completed task. If we sustain our own soul, if we are the one who preserves our salvation, then we are crucifying Christ all over again. That is heretical for He cried out, "It is finished!" Once we are saved it is no longer "I" it is "Christ" living in us.
John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day."
Point: Once we are drawn by the Father to Christ what happens? We will be raised up on the last day. A promise, a promise with no conditions.
Numbers 23:19, "God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?"
Point: If God saves, we will remain saved. For He does not lie or change His mind. When He regenerates our heart and we belong to Him by the faith He has given us, He does not change His mind about the matter.
Colossians 1:13, "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,"
Point: "delivered," past tense. An accomplished act. "Transferred," past tense. An accomplished act.
Galatians 3:13, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"
Point: "Redeemed," past tense. We are redeemed from the curse of the law. He does not re-redeem.
Romans 5:1, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Point: "have been justified by faith," again an accomplished, past tense act. This means we have peace with God through Jesus. How can anyone have peace if they must worry about losing the gift of salvation Christ paid for on the Cross and with His life?
John 6:37, "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out."
Point: Who does the giving/bringing? Us? Absolutely not, it is the Father. And when will Jesus cast them out? "Never."
Psalm 55:4, "Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul."
Point: Well, I think it's clear.
Well, believe it or not I am not one for using "proof texts" in this fashion. It is easy for them to be taken out of context and bent toward whatever view one is trying to suggest. However, most of these do directly deal with salvation, the soul, and who keeps or sustains them. Clearly it is God not man. Even the texts which one may be able to argue are not directly related still speak to the nature of God and His ways which logically leads to the position that we, or are works, in any way cannot "keep" our salvation, or that we can remove what God has accomplished through Christ. To believe such can happen is to place far too much power and ability in the hands of mankind, and not enough power and ability in the hands of an Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent God.

High temperatures
:Thalys stops ticket sales – also DB reacts to heat
Berlin / Brussels –
Due to the heat, travelers traveling by long-distance trains of the Deutsche Bahn can travel for a cooler day until 4 August, free of charge until Friday. That announced passenger transport board Berthold Huber on Thursday at the presentation of the semi-annual balance sheet.
According to the group, the offer also refers to tickets with economy rates and train binding. The seat reservation will be exchanged free of charge. The train wants to make travel more comfortable for railway passengers because of the high temperatures.
The operator of the European high-speed train Thalys has stopped the sale of its tickets for the time being because of the heat. "Due to severe disruptions due to the exceptional weather conditions, we are forced to discontinue sales on all our lines," the company wrote on Twitter Thursday.
The Thalys trains are traveling between Paris and North Rhine-Westphalia, among others. Previously, Thalys had already pointed out that due to the heat to traffic obstructions between Paris and Brussels comes. "We recommend our travelers to postpone their trip scheduled for the 25th of July if possible," it said. (AP)

Ram Gopal Varma who has been struggling for success has been picking up controversial films to generate buzz. Lakshmi's NTR is one such film that presented Nara Chandra Babu Naidu in bad light. The film managed to get a release in Telangana and opened with a bang. But the poor word of mouth shattered the film's run. After a series of hurdles, Lakshmi's NTR released in Andhra Pradesh yesterday. Leaving many in shock, Lakshmi's NTR opened with poor occupancy and the numbers went down for every show.
Lakshmi's NTR is a huge disaster and will collect nothing in Andhra Pradesh in its final run. The film also faced competition from Suriya's NGK and Falaknuma Das that released on the same day. Lakshmi's NTR's collections left RGV and his team in shock with the openings of the film. Rakesh Reddy bankrolled Lakshmi's NTR.


text: New Head of School 26 April 2019 I hope you have all had a lovely holiday, and that even the Fifth and Upper Sixth Forms found some time to relax. Since the end of the Lent Term, I have put a lot of thought into what to talk to you about today, and also about how I would follow on from two amazing speeches made by Emily and Lars. It is the time of year when the Upper Sixth begin to complete their yearbook entries, and amongst the more light-hearted questions such as 'Who is the most to likely to become Pope?', the chance to share 'my best memory at SV' prompted me to think about two topics: the future and the past. At Sutton Valence, we are being prepared for the future. When you begin as a Junior, everything is new. There is much to learn, and there is a lot to look forward to. Each year brings a new challenge, an opportunity to put in place the things you have learned, whether you realise that you are doing so or not. By the time you reach the Sixth Form, you will have more or less mastered all there is to know about school life. You will have made new friends, established lifelong interests, and will have hopefully, stopped running from lesson to lesson. Alongside all of this, countless hours are spent working, planning and researching with the aim of making some form of strategy for the next few years, but after all of this time, will you be ready for life outside of Sutton Valence? Essentially, you could spend all the time in the world preparing, but you cannot plan for 'life'. It is too unpredictable. In a graduation speech, the comedian Stephen Colbert likened life to improvisation. All the actors work together to create a scene out of literally nothing, and neither the actors nor the observers quite know what will happen next. Yet still, everybody works together, trying their best to navigate the piece. Even though group improvisation in Drama saw me take a few too many convenient trips to the toilet, I do believe this is true. Of course, you should plan your future steps, your sports development, your summer revision, but just as it is important to try and follow these plans, it is also vital to have an open mind to change. This is something I have experienced within athletics. The training hours are crucial, but your race day performance is what matters the most. If your most optimistic hope was a 10th place finish, but you suddenly find yourself comfortably in the lead, will you drop back and play it safe, or carry on and redefine your goals? Or maybe in another scenario, you are overtaken by all your competitors...do you give up or come back next time, having trained even harder, this time with more chance of success? You need to make these decisions yourself. They could be as simple as whether to choose CCF or Art on a Wednesday afternoon, or they could be more complicated, such as university choices. Phil Knight, the creator of Nike, sums this up nicely: 'There comes a time in every life when the past recedes and the future opens. It's that moment when you turn to face the unknown. Some will turn back to what they already know. Some will walk straight ahead into uncertainty. Nobody tells you which one is right.' Yet the future is inevitable and somewhat intangible, so it is important to also consider the present moment and of course, the past. Sutton Valence is a unique place, and here you will make many memories that will no doubt shape your future. You will learn from knowledgeable teachers, be coached by coaches who were once athletes themselves, and taught by musicians who have even featured on TV talent shows. In no other school could you walk into a GCSE Geography lesson and experience a reenactment of hydraulic action, involving the infamous Mr Bee standing at one end of the classroom and hurling himself at the door. Or at other times, looking at pictures of lobsters he had caught near Herne Bay. In a normal school day, you will listen to Mr Davies' wise words in Chapel, make sure to remember white socks for Mr Howell's sports lessons, and on a particularly good day, be treated to Mr Devine's chocolate and pear crumble for pudding. All these daily occurrences, add up to make your journey at Sutton Valence unique and memorable. And as mundane as they may be, they really do matter. So what is my best memory at Sutton Valence? Although it is easy to look back now and say it wasn't that bad, it has to be completing my Gold Duke of Edinburgh with an amazing group of friends, navigating mountains in the fog, with some people even ending up trekking through waist-deep snow. From sport, I have learned determination, how to deal with failure and how to keep going when it gets tough. Yet I would not have learned these things if I had only run. View your school years as training for the outside world: make the most of them, try your best. But fundamentally, life is not a race, nobody wins. At Sutton Valence, we learn not to see people as competitors, but to regard them as fellow community members. Just like in sport, some people start very fast and breeze through without much training, whilst others start more slowly and take more time and extra effort, but ultimately we should all move forward together. All in all, the future is what you make of it. Take the time to try new things and continue with the things you love the most. In your final years at school, you will realise that your best memories come from the times that you might not expect. To keep with tradition, I will finish with a quote. This one adapted from Mr Carr. "Sutton Valence will walk you to the party, now all you have to do is dance." Senior School Newsletter Share Tweet
