Okay, so my ongoing saga with my first Blazer continues. It is a 1991 Blazer with less than 60k miles.
Despite my hesitance, I went with a set of BF Goodrich Radial TA tires installed last week and the ride quality seems to have diminished dramatically. Although the sway and body roll has all but ended, I feel every bump in the road! Its not a pleasant ride unless I am on a completely smooth road.
I should waited for the Kuhmo A/S795 Radials that I ordered but they weren't in by the time I had to leave on my trip last week. ARGH!!![:@] Most of my driving will be done on streets and highways. I doubt if I will ever use this vehicle in the snow. So much for the Goodrich tires.
By the way--any recommendations for shocks?
RE: what the hell's goin on?
Did you get LT or P tires? It makes a huge difference. The LT-light truck tires are a much stiffer sidewall and that is why you are feeling the bumps. The P-passenger tires will bring back the sway and excessive body roll that is outside the control of the sway bar.
As for shocks, if you can already feel all of the cracks/bumps, then I wouldn't recommend the Monroe Reflex shock. They are a stiffer than stock shock. I have them on the front of my truck and I really like them, but they are stiff. Even with my P tires, I feel the bumps, but I do have them pumped up to near 40psi to try to combat the sway/body roll issue.
I would recommend the Monroe Sensa-trak shock as it is a stock replacement.
If the shocks are worn, you could be feeling more of the bumps than you should.
Thanks. That helps me make the decision to return to America's Tires and return their Goodrich for the Kuhmos that I ordered.
I believe I will change the shocks too. I think Sears sells and installs Monroes.
I would see about changing out the shocks before returning the tires. Also, make sure the Kumho tires are a passenger tire or they may just ride exactly like the BFG's. But to be aware that more of the body roll and sway will come back with the passenger tires.
just a thought, but are you sure the tires aren't overinflated?
I was doing some Internet research posted by other owners of the Goodrich TA's. One in particular cited an issue similar to mine that was corrected by lowering the tire pressure. I think I will try it to see what happens.
I am hesitant to do anything that will void the warranty because low tire pressure can create heat leading to and can cause excessive wear. In the meantime, I am on the search for some Monroe Sensatrac shocks.
Another BFG fan, lol. I wont use BFG's for that reason you have, the tires are junk.
i went with goodyear wrangler AT/S, they have a quiet ride and hold the road like none others.
unfortunatly they dont make them in p235/75 r15 any more so i went with silent armors in the front , still quiet but not as much grip as the at/s. i also went with sensa trax for the front and lost those pesky body loosening bumps.
As long as you stay close to the recomended pressures on the door sticker then you will not void the tire warranty, if you read the tire manufacturers warranty it is directly related to the door sticker pressures... I used to mount tires as a teenager and was always told that if you increased the tire pressures by 2psi above manufacutrers recomendations that you would get better performance out of your tires... the door sticker pressures are for a comfortable/lazy/smooth ride, so adding 2psi would give your truck the best of tire performance with out a severly harsh ride.
Oh and the pressures on the side of the tire are for when you are carrying a heavy load so that you do not exceed the tires weight carrying ability by overinflating the tire and having it blow out because of excessive pressures inside the tire.
For the record... if BFG's were "junk" they wouldn't sell so many tires. . I've had two sets, and they have done me better than any other tire I have ever ran (this includes cooper, el dorado, goodyear, mastercraft, bridgestone, toyo, remington) on a large variety of vehicles. . . . I am on the third set of BFG's I have driven on and they are the AT KO's. . . excellent tire. Goodyears wear like crap. . . especially the MTR. . . 30,000 tops (got a buddy who has 40,000 miles on a sierra and has gone through 3 sets). BFG's are no more junk than goodyears or coopers. . .
This is almost as dumb as the classic "my chevy is better than your ford" argument. . . . There is a rule that applies for ANYTHING!!!! INCLUDING TIRES! that rule is... take good care of it and it will last forever. . . just like people claim toyotas are the only thing that lasts over 100,000 miles.... I've had a mazda (made by ford), toyota, and a Jeep Pickup that have all gone past 200,000. . . . I'm expecting the same out of my blazer.
The problem is that the suspension in a chevy Blazer is stiff. . . They aren't made to have a luxurious ride. . . No matter what tire/shock combo you get, it will always ride a bit rough. . . it's basically a hatchback compact pickup.... you want silky smooth ride, change cars.... not tires. . . .

9th Cir. Clarifies Mailbox Rule
Loaded on April 15, 1995 published in Prison Legal News April, 1995, page 12
Filed under: Mail, Mail Regulations. Location: Arizona.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Appeals set forth numerous time limits by which motions and other documents must be filed, answered, etc. This has led to a large body of case law concerning how prisoners comply with these time limits due to the difficulties associated with litigating from within' prison, namely, having to rely on prison officials to forward their legal mail to the post office in a timely manner. In Houston v. Lack, 487 US 266, 108 S.Ct. 2379 (1988) the supreme court held that a pro se prisoner's "notice of appeal was filed at the time petitioner delivered it to the prison authorities for forwarding to the court clerk."
Since then various appeals courts have expanded this rule to include bankruptcy petitions, motions, discovery replies, etc. and the rulings have dealt with the means by which prisoners actually mailed the documents at issue, i.e. through legal mail systems that logged the mail, certified mail, etc. Under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP) litigants have thirty days from the time of the lower court ruling within which to file their notice of appeal, this time limit is mandatory and jurisdictional. Mark Koch is an Arizona state prisoner who sought to appeal an adverse district court ruling. His notice of appeal did not arrive at the court until well after the 30 day limit had passed. After a remand from the appeals court, the lower court held that the appeal was not timely filed, the court of appeals for the ninth circuit affirmed.
Koch claimed that he gave his notice of appeal to a prison guard collecting regular mail three days before the last day for filing the notice. He chose not to use registered, insured, or certified mail, which are logged by prison officials but which also involve additional postage fees. The appeal notice arrived in the district court nine days after the deadline.
In Miller v. Sumner, 921 F.2d 202 (9th Cir. 1990) the court had held that dropping an appeal notice into a prison mailbox does not satisfy the requirements in Houston. "Fox the exception to filing requirements for pro se prison appeals to apply, the prisoner must deliver the notice to prison authorities in a timely fashion for mailing so that the authorities may post it through the prison log system. This is the only way to avoid uncertainty and chicanery." The court noted it had always held materials to be timely filed if they arrived in court slightly past the deadline which indicated they were mailed within the deadline. See: Sudduth v. Arizona Attorney General, 921 F. 2d 206 (9th Cir. 1990).
Analyzing the rationale behind Houston the appeals court held that while prisoners cannot personally deliver their legal papers to court clerks for filing, courts may "demand that he take reasonable steps to prove the relevant date-when the notice of appeal left his control." The court held that when a prisoner mails his legal filings in a manner which can be expected to create documentary evidence of when it was mailed (i.e. mail logs, date stamp, etc.) or actually creates indisputable circumstantial evidence that the papers left his control on a date prior to the expiration period for appeal (i. e. receipt the day after it was due by the court) the material is deemed filed on the date established. "However if a prisoner just sends the notice on its way without providing some reliable evidence of the date on which he relinquished control he bears the risk of delay just like any other party. A prisoner may be required to take special steps to obtain special relief from the filing deadlines and he forgoes that relief by mailing by ordinary methods. Any other rule would render the filing deadlines so uncertain adjudication would be impossible."
The court noted that Koch is an experienced litigant who was aware of the manner in which legal mail is sent out of prison yet he did not use the approved legal mail system in place which would have logged the date of receipt. "It might have been a different case if he had attempted to document the date but was denied." Of course readers can easily avoid this type of problem by immediately filing notices of appeal and similar documents as soon as possible rather than procrastinating until the last minute. See: Koch v. Ricketts, 38 F. 3d 455 (9th Cir. 1994).

The Stars, 879 for three rounds, shot a 296 during a round suspended by lightning, and finished at dusk.
The Master's College (Calif.) stands alone in second place at 881 after shooting 292 today. Berry College (Ga.), who entered the day tied with The Master's and Johnson & Wales University (Fla.), shot 293 to stand three shots back in third place. A 299 by Johnson & Wales puts them nine shots back at 888 and one shot ahead of Oklahoma Christian University.
Oklahoma Christian shot an impressive even-par 288 in the stormy conditions. Senior Diego Fernandez led the Eagles with a three-under par 69.
Oklahoma City freshman Nicolas Allain, who has led all three rounds, shot a one-under par 71 to move to five-under, 211.

NLP was a group active in Fresno and the Central Valley during the 1970's and 1980's which fought to retain the family farm model of agriculture through political organizing, photography and self publishing. Ballis's paintings and collages channel a deep connection between the self, land and environment.
Caleb Duarte (Fresno, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist and organizer. He has created public works and community performances at the World Social Forum in Mumbai, India, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, El Pital, Honduras, and throughout Mexico and the United States.

He is currently an instructor of sculpture at Fresno City College.
Carissa Garcia (b. 1984, Fresno, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist who approaches her work as a storyteller and poet. She considers herself a "greñuda filmmaker", working on untamed methods of documenting and reversing erasure as a decolonial means of creating and recuperating knowledge. She worked for four years on a doctoral degree and holds an M.A. from the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o Studies at UCLA, as a mentee of Judy Baca. Her research concentrates on the relationship between place and memory for Chicana artists in California's Central San Joaquin Valley, where she was born and raised.

Sylvia Savala (b. 1947, Clovis, CA, lives and works in Fresno) is a painter, essayist, and poet. Savala is largely self educated as an artist; she was inspired by the example of Frida Kahlo to draw from her personal life and struggles as source for her work, and later studied with Wayne Thiebaud and Alexander Nepote. Her paintings are fluid and gestural with a strong feminist perspective, often commenting on female sexuality and depicting common objects of desire such as shoes or cakes. Savala's work has been included in exhibitions both nationally and internationally, and her essay, "How I became a Chicana Feminist Artist", about her creative and personal journey, was included in "Entering the Picture: Judy Chicago, the Fresno Feminist Art Program, and the Collective Visions of Women Artists" (Routledge, 2011).

Back to former Florida governors
Gov. William Marvin
Terms July 13, 1865 - December 20, 1865
Party Provisional
Passed July 9, 1902
Birth State New York
School Homer Academy
Family Married twice--Harriet Newell, Elizabeth Riddle Jewett; one child
WILLIAM MARVIN, Florida's seventh governor, was born in Fairfield, New York, on April 14, 1808. He was educated in New York's public school system and at the Homer Academy. After studying law, Marvin was admitted in 1833, to the Bar of the Supreme Court and the Court of Chancery of New York. In 1835 he was appointed by President Andrew Jackson as U.S. district attorney of Key West. He also served two terms on the Florida Territorial Council, and he was a member of the 1838 Florida Constitutional Convention. In 1839 he was appointed as a judge by President Martin Van Buren, and in 1849 he was appointed by President James Polk to be a U.S. District Judge of the Southern District of Florida, a position he held until 1863. On July 13, 1865, President Andrew Johnson appointed Marvin Governor of Florida, with the goal of reinstating the state government. During his tenure, he petitioned for a state constitutional convention, which assembled on October 28, 1865, and canceled the ordinance of secession. Also the office of lieutenant governor was instituted, and new election dates were set for November 29, 1865. Marvin's term ended on December 20, 1865. In 1866, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, but was denied his seat by the Radical Republicans.

Bodies of/at Work A man explains the triumph of conceptual art over craftsmanship to a stuffed octopus, another inexplicably flies through the door of his suburban garage, and another dances with his projected alter ego to ward off loneliness. Add to this spectacle aerobics videos, sand-swallowers, discombobulating camera tricks and trained dancers, and you have Bodies of/at Work. An exhibition of both new and old media, performance, and self-redefining ideas, curator Brian Balderston highlights the work of nine emerging artists who move beyond generic body-politics to find new, personal statements of the self. Featuring the work of Hilary Basing, Nell Breyer, Andrea Cote, Peter Dobill, Holly Faurot and Sarah Paulson, Joshua Eggleton, Marshall Marice and Jose Ruiz.

'untitled 03 05.28.2013'
A surprise demo album called untitled unmastered. dropped Thursday night.
Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered. in its title and track listing suggests a temporary unfinished state. A collection of demos recorded from 2013 to 2016 without a place to go. Lamar has performed two of these songs live on TV shows Colbert and Fallon, but they've evolved much since these recordings. This temporary missive gives those songs a home while also showing us a jazzier side to his craft.
Despite this status, there's much to enjoy and most of it comes from Lamar's rhymes. An appearance from CeeLo Green is a highlight but the most well-rounded track is 'untitled 03 05.28.2013', an urgent rhyme matched by a celebratory beat that sounds close to completion.
'Do It, Try It'
M83's new song is grandiose and cheesy yet great
The music of Anthony Gonzalez, M83, over his discography has transformed from ambient electronic pop to the kind of large-scale electronic compositions that work well juxtaposed with Hollywood blockbusters. Sitting in between, was an 80s-inspired synth electronic pop that brought the former to the latter.
Nostalgic grandiosity has always been key to M83's music.
On Junk, the new forthcoming album (April 8th), arriving five years after Hurry Up, We're Dreaming and that album's apex – 'Midnight City', Gonzalez says he's returned to the influences of his early career – Tangerine Dream, Kevin Shields, Aphex Twin and Brian Wilson, yet has tried to expand his sound again.
That epic quality is still evident on the album's first single, after all Gonzalez excels at it. 'Do It, Try It' has its backbone in synth and electronic pop and pushes into '80s French pop, '80s prog and as the chorus suggests – "A dance on repeat / A trance of a heartbeat", a kinship with dance music's more euphoric elements.
"Listen to a sound of a new tomorrow," the song's introduction goes. When it comes to M83, the sound of tomorrow, is always primarily the past, and it works.

The consolidated sales of L'OREAL amounted, in 2000, to € 12.7 billion (FF 83.1 billion). The growth rate based on published figures was 17.9% compared with 1999.
After allowing for the 7.4% positive effect of exchange rate fluctuations, the growth rate was 10.5%.
L'OREAL benefited from a positive structural impact of 2.1% due to the consolidation of acquisitions carried out in 2000, mainly in the second half of the year.
Growth in cosmetics sales has been strong in the main geographical areas.
These strategic acquisitions included Carson Inc., world leader in ethnic cosmetics with a strong presence in the United States and South Africa, Matrix Essentials, the North American leader in salon products, and Kiehl's, a highly selective and world-renowned skin care brand, founded in New York in 1851.
These strategic acquisitions, backed up by local acquisitions such as Laboratoires Ylang S.A., the leader in mass-market make-up in Argentina, and Respons, a Scandinavian shampoo brand, offer the group outstanding growth potential.
At the end of 2000, L'OREAL also signed a strategic alliance with Shu Uemura, a pioneering Japanese brand in the art of make-up and skin care, which will be consolidated in 2001.
Provisional results will be published on Wednesday 21 February, 2001, and the audited results on Wednesday 28 March, 2001.


Get reliable web hosting services at affordable prices. For serious business clients who require their web sites to be fully-functional and accessible at all times.
We offer affordable domain name registration for businesses that want the ideal domain name to brand their web sites to customers and to the search engines.
FOR HOME AND BUSINESS SINCE 1999.
How can you tell a reliable web hosting provider from an unreliable one? If your business relies on customers finding you on the Internet or completing transactions, your web hosting provider is the key.
As with real estate, in retail stores there are three things that are important for business success: location, location, location. Online, it is web hosting, web hosting, web hosting. Where you place your domain counts. Your web site is your real estate and your web hosting provider defines the value of your real estate.
Powerful linux or windows servers using reliable hardware and software. This is the key to having a reliable business web site... No matter how much fancy design and programming you put into it, no one will be able to do business with you if your web site isn't working. Think about building a house. You can build a mansion in the desert where there is no ground water and the mansion will not be worth a thing. Build your domain on a well-located web host.
24x7x365 security and server monitoring. Is this not obvious, too? Just as your new mansion needs a security system, starting with locks on the doors and windows that shut, your web hosting provider needs to supply security and monitoring to ensure your server is properly functioning every minute of every day. For a small business catering to clients all around the world this is doubly important, as you are selling to your customer while you sleep. Make sure your web site provider is not sleeping.
24x7x365 technical support. This might be less obvious, but even the best-monitored servers can go astray once in awhile. Or you might simply have made an error that needs to be corrected - fast! It is then that you need more than just any web hosting provider - that's when you need a reliable web hosting provider for your business that offers technical support around the clock, even on holidays.
"I just wanted to thank you for everything! In 1999, we decided to upgrade our web presence. After much research and consideration we choose Phastnet as our web hosting provider and for web site development services, domain name registration, and a complete eCommerce solution. Over the last 7 years we have invested over $40,000 with Phastnet in our website, resulting in tremendous success! It has been one of our best investments! The service has been reliable and fast, which is just what our small business needs!"
Daily backups of server, web site, and database files. This is a simple baseline security measure. Phastnet does this for your web site. Many web hosting providers do it for their customers, but you would be surprised how many do not. Even if you keep a backup of your web site (which you should!), it can take much longer to restore the web site files from a remote location instead of having your web host do it for you. There are many other files and configurations that need to be backed up too, such as e-mail, databases, spam filter settings, etc. Any reliable web site hosting provider will back everything up on a daily basis.
Knowledgeable server administrators and technical support. There is a reason this is called "The Information Highway". Your web host needs to have the information right at hand. A small business owner needs to know that he can get help immediately, not wait a few days for someone to call back or to find the information to fix an urgent problem.
The latest server-side programming languages and features, such as PHP, mySQL, ASP.NET, and drag & drop web site builder software. What is the point of a web hosting provider who cannot support your web site in the language your programmer has built it. Small business needs web hosting services to accommodate its current website as well as future modification, whether they are small and transient or complete overhauls.
"I was pleased to learn that my web hosting provider has flexibility to grow with my business. It's still a small business, but a bigger small business than it was, and I have been able twice to upgrade my web site hosting plan to accommodate increased traffic."
Reliable shopping cart software for e-commerce sites, such as MIVA Merchant and osCommerce. If you are selling on the Web, you probably know the value of reliable shopping cart software. Phastnet offers MIVA Merchant 5 for free with MIVA web hosting plans and supports osCommerce on its servers. Both are able to be installed with a few clicks in the control panel. Whatever your shopping cart needs, you can rely on Phastnet.
A complete e-mail solution. To have any credibility, a small business must use e-mail addresses on its own domain name. We offer as many e-mail addresses as you need, and we can support newsletters as well. Our e-mail services are as reliable as our servers. Phastnet also has the best and most reliable spam filtering solutions currently available, including RBL-based reject lists that stop thousands of spam emails before the server even processes them, which saves the server a lot of work and saves you a LOT of time too. Our second level of spam protection involves the popular SpamAssassin software, which uses a scoring system to identify whether or not an e-mail is spam and each of your e-mail accounts can be configured separately based on the user's spam tolerance level.
So how can you tell a reliable small business web site hosting provider from an unreliable small business web site hosting provider? The bottom line is that the reliable web hosting provider pays close attention to details. And it will show as your small business grows.
Thank you for choosing Phastnet, your reliable small business web site and domain name hosting provider.

Deep below the surface lies an ancient beholder city called Ilth K'hinax. In times past, hundreds of beholders called it home - until simmering rivalries within their society exploded into warfare. The few survivors fled, leaving the city deserted for hundreds of years. However, the story of Ilth K'hinax's glory was passed down from one generation of beholders to the next. Now, after countless years of self-imposed exile, the beholders are back! After securing the city, the hive mother of Ilth K'hinax implemented a plan to wipe out all the beings living above it. Unfortunately for the beholders, several facets of the hive mother's plan have been revealed through the exploits of a party of adventurers. Now, this group of heroes must meet eye to eye with Ilth K'hinax's newest occupants in an effort to stop the hive mother's pernicious plan! "Eye to Eye" is the last of three adventures featuring the nightmarish beholder. It can be played as an individual mission or as part of the series that began with "Eye of Pain" and continued in "Eye of Doom."
The Forge of Fury 5e
Two hundred years ago, the great dwarf smith Durgeddin the Black built Khundrukar, a hidden stronghold for his war of vengeance against all orckind.

A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords
Trapped in the dungeons of the Slave Lords! The hardy adventurers must find a way out, with only their wits and courage to help them. But can they do it before everything is destroyed by the dreaded Earth Dragon? This module contains a challenging scenario for experienced players, the tournament scoring system, and nine fully-equipped playtested characters. Also included are large-scale referee maps, playing aids, notes, and background information. A4 is a complete adventure in itself, but can also be used in conjunction with A1 (SLAVE PITS OF THE UNDERCITY), A2 (SECRET OF THE SLAVERS' STOCKADE), and A3 (ASSAULT ON THE AERIE OF THE SLAVE LORDS).
The Iron Orb of the Duergar
In the lands of the Northmen, near the city of Tallborg a mysterious relic was uncovered in a mine: a perfect orb of black iron. The orb was taken to the temple. When Ulvmard, high priest of Odin lifted the orb it revealed its true nature. The orb levitated from his hands, floating before him. The orb had changed Ulvmard, bestowing him great powers. The orb spoke to him with flattery and advice. As he became reliant on the orb, its power over him extended, bending him to its will and taking control. It used him to further its agenda: destruction of the dwarven race and restoration of the duergar! Claiming to be acting on Odin's behalf, Ulvmard lead the Northmen to rise up against the dwarves, and ordered raids to pillage the southern kingdoms for the materials he would need to construct a colossal iron warrior to defeat the dwarves. This adventure has viking and norse mythology influences.
Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane
To stop a devastating rampage of giants across the land, the party must venture into the lair of the stone giant thane Arnak to uncover the truth about why he has broken his peace with the neighboring dwarves. In the process, they will have the opportunity to retrieve important symbols of the fight against the giants and uncover a dangerous excavation. The adventure is part of the "Against the Giants" series originally by Gary Gygax, hence the writing credit.
Temple of The Dragon Cult
In Temple of the Dragon Cult, the characters are called in to pursue a dragon that the king's army was able to wound but not kill. It seems straightforward enough: the army tracked the dragon to its lair, and all the characters have to do is go in and kill it. But this dragon has a devoted cult of dragonblood followers who worship its every breath. Its lair is their temple — and they'll fight to the death to defend their dragon-god…
The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan 5e
The ancient ruined city of Tamoacha is familiar to a select few scholars and fortune seekers, who know of it but not always exactly where it is. Even more secluded, lying somewhere within or beneath the ruins, is a hidden shrine said to be dedicated to Zotzilaha, the vampire god of the underworld. Adventurers who catch wind of the place are likely to find its lure irresistible. Remake of the AD&D module by the same name.
Sekarvu's Lair
Sekarvu is a typical beholder. It spent much of its youth exploring underground realms and killing everything it found. One day, it came upon a large cavern filled with violet fungi. At the edge of the cavern, it found a small band of adventurers who had all but succumbed to the toxins of the fungi's tendrils. They offered little resistance to Sekarvu as it approached and began to feed on their still-writhing bodies. With its first bite, the beholder's life changed forever.
Dead In The Eye
"The Keepers of the Celestian Order, valiant defenders dedicated to destroying horrors from the Far Realm, have trapped a beholder in its lair. However, the evil aberration has proven far more dangerous than expected, and the Keepers need the help of adventurers to end the threat of Omaranthax once and for all. This Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game adventure, created for Free RPG Day 2012, pits player characters against a mutated beholder and its vile underlings. Although set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, the adventure can be easily adapted to any* D&D world." *: The adventure mentions that it is suitable for any setting touched by the Spellplague.
Planar Bandits
A cadre of githyanki has come to the world in search of rich plunder and soft targets. It has set up a base in the lower levels of an abandoned fortress ruin. A caravan of travelers spotted a githyanki while it hunted for food. Rumors of an invading army from the Astral Sea quickly spread through nearby towns, and the PCs have arrived to investigate.
The Barber of Silverymoon
"People have been disappearing at night in the city of Silverymoon. Some vanish entirely, leaving behind whispered rumors of fiends or other evil creatures having spirited them away. Others return strangely altered, with their memories of having been kidnapped wiped clean and their minds strangely dulled — and always with remarkable haircuts."
S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
The Grand Duchy of Geoff has recently been plagued by a rash of unusually weird and terrible monsters of an unknown sort. This western area, particularly the mountain fastness which separates the Grand Duchy from the Dry Steppes, has long been renowned for the generation of the most fearsome beasts, and it has been shunned accordingly -- save a handful of hardy souls with exceptional abilities. Within the last few months, however, a walled town not far distant from the area, and four small fortresses as well, have been destroyed by mysterious attacks! This classic adventure set on a crashed spaceship challenges the players assumptions, and expands on what's possible within the "fantasy" label.
Spires of Xin-Shalast
A Runelord Rises! The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path concludes! The Runelord of Greed, Karzoug the Claimer, stirs in the legendary city of Xin-Shalast. There are more forces than an ancient evil wizard at work in this remote corner of Golarion, a place where the boundaries between reality and nightmare are unnaturally thin. Karzoug's minions have awakened as well, among them giants and dragons and devils and worse. Could there be an even deeper evil poised to emerge from the darkness at the dawn of time? Can the Rise of the Runelords be stopped?
Vault of the Dracolich
*THIS IS A D&D NEXT/5E PLAYTEST ADVENTURE* Imani, a Turmishan wizard and former adventurer, seeks the aid of heroes to infiltrate Dretchroyaster's lair and recover the Diamond Staff of Chomylla—the key to powerful magic and wisdom locked away for thousands of years. In addition to his own sagely interest in the lore of lost Uvaeren, Imani recognizes the dangers of such powerful magic falling into evil hands. The dracolich has secured the staff in his lair's cen- tral chamber, using ancient wards of protection that can be bypassed only by four artifact-idols once belong- ing to a cult of Bhaal. Each group of adventurers enters the dungeon through a different section of the dun- geon—a forgotten temple of Bhaal, a vast underground lake, a troglodyte village, or Dretchroyaster's vaults. Dretchroyaster's lair is no simple set of caverns and ancient ruins. It sits atop a source of great power and energy, which the dracolich and his Cult of the Dragon allies hope to use to unlock the secrets of the staff. Only by undertaking a unified assault against Dretchroyas- ter's lair can the adventurers hope to recover the Diamond Staff and survive the dracolich's fury. The adventurers must make their way through the lair and recover the Bhaalite idols that will help unlock the Diamond Staff, all the while dealing with the lair's creatures and avoiding the dracolich as he pur- sues intruders. Entering the Chamber of the Diamond Staff, the heroes must overcome its magical wards and claim the staff before being slain by the dracolich and his servants.
Called by the Elder Elemental Eye to serve, four corrupt prophets have risen from the depths of anonymity to claim mighty weapons with direct links to the power of the elemental princes. Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design. It is up to adventurers from heroic factions such as the Emerald Enclave and the Order of the Gauntlet to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms.

What Steph Curry (and the Warriors!) Can Learn About Backlash from LeBron
Now that we're officially a week out from Game 7, we can (at least somewhat) soberly try to figure out where the Dubs go from here.
By Alex Siquig
The denouement of Stephen Curry's historic 2015-16 season found the first-ever unanimous MVP a Void-gazing husk of his incendiary self, hobbling off a homecourt that had been so kind to his Warriors in the regular season. Closing in on him was pandemonium and tech-bro bedlam, as the Cavaliers and their retinue bellowed with rapture and LeBron James, after some perfunctory teetering embraces, fell to his knees and wept.
For the first time in what seemed forever, Curry (who, like LeBron, was born in Akron) was officially a loser again, just another Icarus who flew too close to the sun with his stupid mouthpiece dangling out. In a year that saw much of the formerly besotted public violently reject and repudiate Curry and the Golden State Warriors, this was the only acceptable conclusion, that of maximum dishonor and a vicious public humbling. But why did we turn against Steph Curry? What are his crimes? And how does he win us back, if he even wants to?
The Warriors and specifically Curry have been so transcendent and unstoppable these past two seasons (a lifetime in NBA fandom) it's easy to forget or at the very least overlook their murky and frankly depressing origin story. As the son of one of the NBA's most renowned three-point bombers, Young Steph grew up a precocious gunner, a prince swaddled in privilege, but a prince for whom no prophecies were written, unlike LeBron, whose own hardscrabble and harrowing formative years suggest a heroic and larger-than-life Chosen One plucked from obscure origins in some fantasy novel. Steph's charitably lean frame and his slightly less than Eugenically Certified Pure Point Guard skills were his crimes against conventional wisdom, and these moronic yet persistent quibbles followed him to the NBA.
"LeBron has been ripped to fucking shreds, spending too much of his prime loathed as a coward by blowhards who were personally affronted he wasn't Michael Jordan. He's not Jordan, and neither is Curry, and that's a good thing. Jordan was the Ronald Reagan of the NBA."
To understand Curry, you must understand the Warriors and the dumpster-atop-a-funeral pyre culture Steph was conscripted into. This was the least successful franchise in the league and it wasn't even close. Modern day doormats like the Kings or the Timberwolves couldn't hold a misshapen candle to the complete and utter hopelessness of Golden State. Owned by a reclusive owner who seemed to loathe Golden State's fans almost as much as he loathed spending money to improve his team, and beset by competing and ever-warring factions within the organization, it was little wonder the on-court product was schizophrenic and gloomy. These were teams running out the clock until the farmer had the decency to take them behind the barn and finish them off Old Yeller style. The We Believe squad was a brief flash of cosmic uplift, a momentary reprieve, a pleasant conversation at a funeral that just wouldn't fucking end. Steph's first few weeks as a Warrior included heretofore alpha dog Monta Ellis going off-script, laconically telling the press that a backcourt of Steph and himself was destined for failure (he was right!) and a disgruntled Stephen Jackson publicly demanding a trade after extorting an unnecessary contract extension from the team's hapless president. Later on, fellow rookie Brandon Jennings dropped 55 points on the Warriors as Steph struggled to find his three-point stroke.
The next two years yielded similar anguish. Curry was frequently benched in favor of human placeholder Acie Law. Then came the ballad of his chronically fragile ankles that seemed destined in the stars to remain brittle and doomed and cursed. Steph was considered less the face-of-the-franchise than a risk assessment to be debated in the dank alleyways of Twitter. Under the direction of sermonizing fraudlord Mark Jackson, the Warriors (including a trio of rookies: Draymond Green, Festus Ezeli, and Harrison Barnes) managed to become sort of decent! Not great, but agreeably good, in a way that didn't ruffle anyone's feathers. They had seemed to reach the apex of their destiny: one of those teams that no one wants to play in the First Round, but not a group that could hope to inspire true fear. Considering they had crawled out an hellscape basically on par with the Bolton dungeons at the Dreadfort, that was a pretty good destiny!
Under the newly installed Steve Kerr, the Warriors committed the cardinal sin of winning too much. The grumbling from the fringes began almost as soon as the Warriors unexpectedly began clobbering the league with an actual offense. There were rivers of denial. The Warriors were a paper tiger, regular season fool's gold! The championship should be asterisked because Patrick Beverley was injured and Mike Conley had to wear a mask! The Warriors jumped the line. That title rightfully belonged to the Thunder, or the Bulls, or the Clippers, or even the goddamn Pacers. Golden State hadn't gone through the requisite torment of a nascent contender! The rank-and-file rebuffed Curry's achievements by voting James Harden as the Players' Choice for MVP. Doc Rivers opined loudly about how lucky the Warriors were not to play the Clippers, and luck would become a hill many of Golden State's critics were willing to commit seppuku on.
Still, much of this was sour grapes. The real shift to outright hostility and slander came this past season, a season in which the Warriors had the fucking gall to open with 24 straight wins. The hubris of their quest to sneak past the Bulls' 72-wins.
Former NBA stalwarts as varied in accomplishment and era as Ron Harper, Gary Payton, Tracy McGrady, and Oscar Robertson all lobbed complaints. Their critiques ultimately seemed couched in a sort of emotional cognitive dissonance, as if the success of the Warriors was fraudulent or reflected poorly on their own careers and legacies. But then it wasn't just former players and the slobbering talking-head caste with their contrarian bluster that were beginning to push back against Steph Curry and the Warriors. Many former admirers proclaimed that the Warriors were so dominant they had become boring, their games predictable, their nightly triumphs underwhelming, just blasé massacres punctuated with just enough arrogance to really turn popular opinion against them. Steph Curry was absolutely destroying his MVP caliber season with an even more spectacular outing and that was so fucking tiresome, man!
The hentai tentacles of this anti-Warriors backlash extended off the court too. Golden State supporters were being cast as the BernieBros of NBA fandom, some (mostly) imagined combination of calculating bandwagoner and haughty troll that shared traits with an English football hooligan and the CEO of Uber. Steph Curry mostly remained above the fray while Draymond Green did damage to various tests, but eventually Steph's family came under a newfound venomous scrutiny. And when his wife, Ayesha (also a lightning rod for Hot Takes) sent out some seriously un-chill Tweets accusing the NBA of being rigged, you could hear the camel's back shattering. The universe demanded the Warriors lose so that balance could be restored. Just as everything had gone right all season for Golden State on the battlefield, nothing seemed to go right on the PR front, and this is not even taking into account that (loud-mouth self-aggrandizing Ayn Rand fan) Joe Lacob insinuated that he may have fucked the Larry O'Brien trophy!
For Golden State fans, the final few games had all the cheer of a march to the electric chair. Some Warriors fought valiantly until the final whistle, but Steph looked weighed down, hampered both by injuries and perhaps by this shift in public opinion. In the final game the two-time MVP couldn't get separation from even the most slow and bumbling of defenders. It was his Waterloo, except worse, because at least the Duke of Wellington had the grace not to taunt Napoleon about his wack shoes. Still, in the wake of an historic collapse that stopped just short of a literal curbstomp, Steph is now free to be human again, a human that is just fucking special at the sport of basketball. Now he can shrug off all the shit that was projected on him and start fresh.
It's not exactly a state secret that we're weaned on underdog stories. Yes, there's lingering affection for certain old-money dynasty teams like the Lakers or Patriots or you know, that one soccer team, but mostly we like to see the great humbled, because we can't do the same to the equivalent powerhouses in our own lives. Most of us treasure the upset. Very few people wanted to hear Goliath's side of the story. They just wanted David to fuck that giant asshole up. Steph Curry was a diminutive injury prone guard that morphed into Goliath so suddenly most of us didn't know what to do.
Public opinion is whiplash-level fickle. Dwight Howard used to be a beloved goofball and now you can't think of him without thinking of either a whoopie-cushion or existential dread. Kevin Love went from potential Top 5 player to garbage man to redeemed role-player in the space of...two seasons? But towering over them all is LeBron James. LeBron has been sanctified as a hometown hero, then cursed as a traitor, he's been called a choke-artist, he's both failed and prevailed on the biggest stage in the world. LeBron has been ripped to fucking shreds, spending too much of his prime loathed as a coward by blowhards who were personally affronted he wasn't Michael Jordan. He's not Jordan, and neither is Curry, and that's a good thing. Jordan was the Ronald Reagan of the NBA. Jordan never lost in the Finals, and this may have poisoned our perspective on how the greatest players are remembered. Most Republicans don't really give a shit about Reagan's policy positions on gun control or immigration or what-have-you. No, what really gets them hard is that Reagan beat the shit out of Democrats in elections, winning in landslides that were just disrespectful. Had Reagan lost in the Finals to Walter Mondale, the current crop of losers trying to graft onto his legacy would be far fewer. Likewise, had John Stockton and Karl Malone prevailed even once against MJ, we would have had a completely different conversation about LeBron's place in history, and now, Curry's. Winners are allowed to lose. In fact, they should.
The Cavaliers were sloppy, gross, and totally inspiring, especially the parts where JR Smith cried. But already we're moving on, looking towards the reckoning to come. Will the new season usher in a suddenly contrite and once again relatable underdog Warriors team? Certainly not. They are who they are. Instead they are now thankfully released from a mission to bend history and the record-books to their will. Curry would do well take comfort in LeBron's journey, all heights and pitfalls and trash heaps and crowns, basically a schematic of failure and triumph meeting at a dirty motel to create something beautiful. Nothing is finished until it is finished. We should all be comforted by that.

A set of powerful experiences to achieve the maximum benefit and a speedy recovery from surgery through conditioning your mind and body.

A set of powerful experiences to achieve the maximum benefit and a speedy recovery from surgery through conditioning your mind and body. Techniques on this CD have been shown to speed up post surgery healing by up to 25%! Use before and after surgery to reduce swelling, pain, bleeding, infection, and the side effects of anesthesia.
First the deeper mind is introduced to the idea of surgery through the clear visualization of the benefits you will receive. Next you are guided through the procedure itself, programming organs of the body for the optimal healing response. Finally, after the procedure, imagery is used to speed healing, minimize pain and maximize return to full function.
Track 1, Rehearsing Your Healing. Listen daily for a week, two weeks before surgery. This is a psychophysiological training experience that will help you establish methods for exercising autogenic control over normally involuntary processes. It also aids in stress reduction, deep relaxation, and developing a positive self-image.
Track 2, Through Your Surgery – Relaxed – should be started one week after Track 1. Listen once or twice a day. Continue to use Track 1 occasionally, as well. This part will guide you to a state of deep relaxation, where you will mentally rehearse the surgical experience. The goal is to pre-program positive responses to the procedure. If the details of the procedures surrounding your surgery may differ from the imagery given, simply substitute images that are appropriate. The more detailed and specific your imagery is, the better.
Will you be given sleep medication the night before surgery?
What time of day will you be having surgery?
How will you be transported to the surgical suite?
What color uniforms will operating personnel be wearing?
What kind of anesthesia will be used? How will it be administered and when will it start?
Where will the surgical incision be and exactly what will be done?
Where will you be awakening (recovery room, ICU)?
Will you be having any form of physical therapy as you recover?
Track 1, Facilitating Your Healing Response – This part enables you to visualize the healing process from a relaxed state. Begin using this part two or three times a day, as soon as possible after surgery, listening three times a day. If possible, learn as much as you can about how your body will heal itself. This will help you to visualize more accurately. However, if symbolic imagery works well for you, that is just as powerful. Use the kind of imagery that seems easiest, clearest, and most attractive to you.
Track 2, Control and Elimination of Pain Begin listening to this part a week or two before surgery so that you can develop your ability to create numbness to the part of your body where the surgical incision will be made. Some people are able to totally eliminate pain and not need pain medication. Others feel "pain," bus note that it doesn't really "hurt." Still others find that while they still need some pain medication, the use of the recording helps them remain quite comfortable on smaller doses and that they recover very quickly.

COLUMNS The White House drops the ball on Iran
COLUMNS US's failed diplomacy glitters in 2017 review
In many James Bond movies, time and again cooperation between the U.S. and the U.K. against an enemy is emphasized. While the spymasters in intelligence headquarters in the U.K. mention "Langley" in the movies, there is also an American friend for Bond in his overseas missions that provides him with important intelligence in regards to the target. However, as mentioned previously in researching geopolitics by James Bond observers, there are different roles for these characters. While James Bond represents a sophisticated, intelligent and smart actor in the fight against the enemy with his looks and charm as his soft power, his American friend is less sophisticated but more powerful because of the militaristic capabilities of his men.
That 007 needs the help of others in the movie represents two interrelated geopolitical realities. First, despite its former super power status and its interest in various parts of the world, the U.K. was unable to handle geopolitical pressure and threat anymore without the support of the U.S. Second, a more general reality is that without allies, it was hard to survive in the Cold War environment. It was recognized that alliances and partnerships mattered to achieve victory against rivals. In the Cold War, these were important realities. Just before the beginning of this period, the cooperation and coordination between FDR and Churchill demonstrated a smooth transition to a new world order with changing roles for both countries. Throughout the Cold War years, James Bond in part represented the importance and strength of this alliance.
The end of the Cold War made these realities a little more complicated. Despite unipolarity and U.S. hegemony in the world in the 1990s, threats became more diverse, more global and more unpredictable. These risks made the alliances even more significant. The significance of alliances not only with the UK but also with most of the allies around the world increased rapidly.
However, in this critical juncture of increasing need for alliances, U.S. unilateralism started to rise, angering many of its allies. During the Iraq War for instance, the U.S. lost the support of most of its allies. However, the U.K. still acted with the U.S. and despite harsh public opposition and European pressure, the Blair government supported the war in Iraq in 2003. Since then, the Middle East has become more unstable and the international order has become less structured. During the Obama administration, the unilateralism of the U.S. continued, this time through its inaction and indecisiveness. Most of its allies lost their trust in the U.S. in terms of keeping its commitments. They started to go their own way. British parliament for instance did not support a military intervention in Syria following the chemical weapon attack by the regime on Ghouta, which accordingly shocked many policy makers in Washington, D.C. In addition, Britain also joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, led by China, despite opposition from the U.S. Later during the Brexit referendum, despite calls by President Obama not to leave the EU, British voted in favor of Brexit. Most recently, during the Jerusalem voting at the U.N., the U.K. and U.S. were once again on different sides.
This downward pattern in relations with allies is a pattern that hurts the U.S. and made allies follow a more autonomous path and look for more options. When President Trump cancelled his visit to Britain by mentioning the location of the embassy and its cost, it definitely demonstrated another major rupture in trust between the U.S. and its allies. It raised different questions in regards to the future of U.S.-U.K. relations as well as U.S. commitment to alliances and partners. Every country in the world, U.S. allies or rivals, are watching this gradual falling out of alliances carefully. Some are trying to pick up the pieces to fill the vacuum that the U.S. has left in the international system, and other countries will continue to find different options and paths preparing for a new international system.
Either way, it is generating major unpredictability for the future of the international system. At this new juncture, James Bond may find other allies and partners in the fight against rivals and enemies in coming films or may try to deal with lesser evils, leaving major threats alone.

directed by Robert J. Flaherty
USA/Canada 1922
Robert Flaherty made Nanook Of The North, a film of Eskimo (Inuit) lif, following six years as an Arctic explorer for the Canadian Northern Railway. During journeys often lasting months at a time with only one or two Inuit as companions, he developed a deep regard for these indigenous people and after two unsuccessful filming attempts, Flaherty seized upon the idea of structuring his movie around characters who reenacted episodes of their lives and participated in the shaping of the film. He was not trained as an anthropologist, but Flaherty wisely guides our discovery of the people and their activities, and ninety years later, Nanook remains as completely engaging as it was in 1922, a huge influence on many ethnographic films that followed. This edition is mastered in high definition at the visually correct speed from the painstaking 35mm restoration of 1972, with a lovely orchestral score composed, compiled and conducted by Timothy Brock. Selected for the National Film Registry, 1989. The Wedding of Palo (Palos Brudefaerd) (1934), Nanook s obvious successor, is the last beautiful work of the famed Danish polar explorer and anthropologist Dr. Knud Rasmussen. Filmed in sound with an Inuit cast from the Angmagssalik district of east Greenland, Palo, like Nanook, documents a vanished lifestyle and uses Flaherty s device of an appealing narrative; in this case, a story of two men who desire the same woman as wife. It is mastered in high definition and digitally restored from an original 35mm nitrate print in the collection of George Eastman House. This Blu-Ray also contains six extraordinary bonus films. Nanook Revisited (Saumialuk) by Claude Massot. made in the same locations used by Flaherty, shows how Inuit life changed in the intervening decades (it s not that different from ours), how Flaherty consciously depicted a culture which was then already vanishing, and how Nanook is used today to teach the Inuit their heritage. Nanook Revisited was produced in 1988 on standard definition video for French television. Dwellings of the Far North (1928) is the igloo-building sequence of Nanook re-edited and re-titled as an educational film; Arctic Hunt (1913) and extended excerpts from Primitive Love (1927) are by Arctic explorer Frank E. Kleinschmidt; Eskimo Hunters of Northwest Alaska (1949) by Louis deRochemont shows many activities seen in Nanook thirty years after, and Face of the High Arctic (1959) depicts the ecology of the region.

ADDITION: Flicker Alley - Region FREE - Blu-ray (March 2013): There is a significant improvement in all visual areas of Flicker Alley's 1080P over the 14-year old Criterion DVD. The screen captures will bear out the superior contrast, more information in the frame, supportive grain and the duplicate damage marks.
The audio is not lossless (orchestral score composed, compiled and conducted by Timothy Brock), but it is the only less-positive thing I can say about the set which includes Nanook Revisited (Saumialuk) by Claude Massot and described much better than I can by Flicker Alley:

"
Magnificent set with so much attention to detail. Flicker Alley have outdone themselves and it deserves strong consideration for any keen on this incredible documentary (Selected for the National Film Registry, 1989.). The Blu-ray is strongly recommended!
ON THE DVD: Okay from the horse's mouth - this transfer was created from a fine-grain master positive made from a 35mm restoration negative, derived from five positive nitrate prints from the camera negative. Robert Flaherty's personal print, preserved since 1939 by the British Film Institute, is the primary source and also the matrix for the tinting, which is electronically recreated here. The editing follows the original director's cut, and at a running speed of 21.5 frames per second, this edition matches the original projection time. Timothy Brock's score was digitally recorded in May 1998. Film restoration and transfer supervised by David Shepard.
Now saying all this one cannot possibly fault the appearance of the film, as it is better than one could possibly hope for... BUT, where I do have a small issue is with the DVD, which has a black border surrounding it, hence not maximizing the full resolution to fill the screen (Yes, some people may actually project on a large screen). I don't know how much of a difference that would make, but I'll wager if it was re-done today (highly unlikely) it would fill the full 720 resolution. It is a minor point and one that I am sure an expert could somehow refute. The "Flaherty on Film" extra is short but a very worthwhile addition. The audio is wonderful. I'm sure this does not sell as well as "The Lord of the Rings" but for those keen on the historical nature of this entire production (the film), it is mind-blowing. Do yourself a favor and read-up on it before you indulge - you will be riveted at entering a whole new cinematic world. So fascinating you have trouble turning away... honestly. out of

Student ID Card Support Comes to Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch
Chris Hauk - Oct 2, 2018
Starting today, students at three universities will be able to use Apple Wallet on their iPhone and Apple Watch as their student ID card.
The program will launch at Duke University, the University of Alabama, and the University of Oklahoma beginning today. Johns Hopkins, Santa Clara and Temple Universities will be participating by the end of this school year.
Starting today, students at three universities are among the first to enjoy the convenience of using just their iPhone and Apple Watch to get around on and off campus. At Duke University and the Universities of Alabama and Oklahoma, students can now add their ID card to Apple Wallet and use it to pay quickly and easily for laundry, coffee or lunch, and even get into their dorms, the gym or the school library.
"iPhone and Apple Watch have brought us into a new era of mobility, helping to transform everyday experiences," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Internet Services. "When we launched Apple Pay, we embarked on a goal to replace the physical wallet. By adding transit, loyalty cards and contactless ticketing we have expanded the capabilities of Wallet beyond payments, and we're now thrilled to be working with campuses on adding contactless student ID cards to bring customers even more easy, convenient and secure experiences."
The new feature will allow students to access their dorm, dining hall, gym, library and campus events using only their iPhone or Apple Watch. Students will hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near the reader anywhere physical student ID cards are accepted, both on and off campus.
