Off hand I would have to say that Ross is correct. If you can't breath underwater then it doesn't matter what language you speak, you cannot cast while drowning.

I was holding out for the movie star......I thought everyone when that.

I always thought you were holding out for Mrs. Howell

We need to bring some nymphs and dryads to help us celebrate.

Of course Manderin.

Why no love for nymphs in a thread devoted to Mr. Fishy. Why only dryad love.

Well, color me an impressed-shade of gold, anyways.

This is what happens when you run out of dead horses.

Are all facts true? Is all truth fact? Did I pull this out of a fortune cookie?

glub, glub, glub.

This is the end of life counselling booklet used by the V.A. Something similar would be used under Section 1233.

As i have pointed out time and time again, the NHS is not perfect.

And your right, Glasgow is f**%ed. There really isn't another term for it. But the NHS in scotland is fighting a war of attrition against poverty, social exclusion, drugs, violent crime and an entire subculture who thinks that deep fried pizza and battered mars bars sound like good nosh. If the underlying population is doing everything in its power to destroy itself, even best health professionals in the world are not going to be able to do much. I would not be supprised if local failings contribute, but atleast the failings of one cities primary care trust can be raised, discussed and acted upon here.

I can be fairly comfident in saying that the same city, under the american system would be in infinately worse shape.

According to the study, race, income and access to health care alone cannot explain the differences in life expectancy among the eight groups. Premature deaths of young and middle-aged adults, in large part from chronic diseases and injuries, account for most of the differences in life expectancy among the eight groups, the study finds. Christopher Murray, director of the Harvard Initiative for Global Health and lead author of the study, said that income did not account for the differences in life expectancy among the eight groups because whites "living below the median incomes in northern states have the best level of health among whites," adding, "That runs counter to everything we know"...Murray said that many government health care programs focus on children and seniors and that few focus on at-risk young and middle-aged adults. "Where we fall down is delivering health care for young and middle-aged adults," Murray said. He added, "This really requires a rethink about what is the focus of health care policy discussions in the U.S.

Not to mention that the majority of countries that are usually listed in these examples have small and relatively homogenous populations. Neither Japan, or Switzerland has anywhere near the size of population or cultural and genetic diversity found in the United States. It's like comparing apples to watermelons.

I'm not sure why size of population or cultural/genetic diversity (and I'm not even sure I buy the genetic diversity argument) matter. We're looking at per capita spending; why should more people mean that we spend more per person for poorer results? Why is American culture (or genetics?) so inferior compared to other countries that utilize socialized or single-payer health care systems?

Sickle-cell isn't real?

Hey, you have no more of a serious claim to increased diversity of genetic disease that the UK, and yet we still rank better with WHO and spend less per capita.

Of course, the NHS is not rainbows and unicorns for everyone.

Edit: I know the answer will be that every system has it's horror stories, but this appears tio be a systimatic faliure involving an entire city.

Why did they move my oasis to the pbp fourm?

There,

This is an awesome picture.

See

Where did all my friends go?

What?

Sirone looks over her realm and feels a swelling of joy to see her chosen struggling valiantly to uphold the cause of good.

Wow, this place has really taken off. And in only a month too. We might catch up with the Jack's soon.

We can breathe out of water, but just have trouble walking and dealing with dry skin.

despite the avatar. few choices there.

I was thinking about something to help in those areas too. Anything to help them out away from water.

shoes? those pebbles get stuck btwn their webbed toes. not exactly sure what Nymora's legs/feet look like.

She's an aquatic elf same as Mirathan, so yeah, some webbing on the hands and feet. (I know what you mean about the lack of avatar choices for auatic elf) And it's quite likely she keeps tripping on her flippers as it were when she tries to walk :)

Well there is one other one.

No one is injured, but it would be beneficial if someone could purify that water. Preferably before it makes Mirathan and Nimora ill.

Ash and her clown friend popped in to say hello and he spewed that stuff all over.

"The water is harmless," Sirone says. "It is simply swamp water, which may give us a clue to where your sister is."

First things first. We need a secure base, somewhere for us to meet and plan as well as a place for all of us to regroup. Club Calistria was that place, but it is no longer secure and neither is the Jack's Clubhouse. Sirone, how secure can the Oasis be made? It's not much use to us if people like Ash and her clown friend can just pop in at will. Is there some way to bar them from entering?

"I will do what I can," Sirone says. Sirone begins wandering about the oasis weaving wards against evil presence.

"I do not know child," Sirone says. "It is almost as if her soul has been ripped from her body."

"Use the Omniportal, it connects all planes," Sirone says. "The priestess has not yet awakened from her slumber."

Sirone appears from the water of one of the fountains. "Champions, you must get to the Ancient Grove. Lynora and Jack Hammer are in grave danger."

"Something is wrong," Sirone says. "The balance of power has tipped."

Nimora screams as she sees Mirathan's body. She tries to help him, but he is beyond help. She turns to the lady of this place, all attempts at speaking in common forgotten and says in Aquaan,

"If there is anything you can do for him, then do it. Otherwise I will attend to the burial when I return."
She picks up her trident and dives deep into the pool looking for whatever creature killed Mirathan.

"I shall try," Sirone says. She waves her hands over the body and mumbles some words in a language that was ancient at the founding of the world. Finally she finishes. "I have done all I can, the rest is up to him." If E7 wants Mirathan to wake up, he will. Otherwise, his spirit has chosen not to return.

Sirone shakes her head at all the strange comings and goings around the Oasis. "We really should get a bouncer or something," she sighs.

"Of course, all of this is kind of pointless unless we take care of protecting our bases of operation. Maybe we should shore up our defenses in that regard first, then try to lure them out. Let's start here."

Remembering that faint scent as he dove into the pool earlier, Devlyn follows his nose around until he comes up to Poetry, and the red orchid she is standing near.

He crouches down and confirms the sweet, heady smell.
"Sirone, I would guess that you are very familiar with your surroundings here. I don't think this orchid belongs in your oasis."

"No that flower most definately doesn't belong here."

Devlyn nods,

"Allura also mentioned this 'Goddess of Dark Knowledge' - I've only heard bits and pieces about her, and some references to LJ," looking back at her at the pool. "What's the story with that, just so I am clear on it (which I know I'm not)."

"To be honest, I'm not clear on who she is either," Sirone admits. "I know she has allied herself with Candle Lighter, which proves she is a threat, and at this point that is all I need to know."

Devlyn nods, then bows his head for a moment, as if in thought. He apparently reaches a decision, as he nods again then looks at Sirone.

"Alright, I guess that will have to suffice for now. What do you need me to do?"

Watches Allura and Devlyn approach. "I am Sirone, what do you wish?" she asks

"This is much better then I had expected."

"It just takes practice, you'll catch on soon."

"No one can steal the peace from this place. We give it away for free."

"Well, looks like this party is starting off well."

"Leave to the birds to drop little presents from the sky." Shakes her fist at the sky. "Come back and clean up this mess you flying turkeys."

*looks around* Great, another hippie commune.

"Silly Jack, we're not hippies. We just don't believe that having a good time involves smashing things. Hands JRHM a map "This should help you find the Garden of Earthly Delights and the Beer Garden."

From out of the mists, a sparkling pool of water surrounded by all sorts of delightful things appears. Welcome to the realm of serenity and peace. This is a welcoming place for all who fight on the side of right and justice to comae and relax. Feel free to drink of it's healing waters and relax in it's cool shady courts. However, no violence will be tolerated here. Please enjoy my hospitality.

"Remember your place child," the Mistress of the Waves admonishes her. "It is not good to get personally involved with an assignment."
