Okay, so I was looking over the piecemeal armor rules the other day, and the weirdest thing happened: I noticed that no leg piece was more than +1; this was weird, as I knew the o-yoroi leg piece was a +2 AC, and not +1 AC. This drove me nuts, wondering if I'd simply imagined it, but, as it turns out, I've made entire post(s) on the subject, and have recently come across some old notes referencing that fact.
So... what happened? Was d20pfsrd.com simply wrong, and later corrected the error; was it an errata in Ultimate Combat; or did d20pfsrd somehow incorrectly update itself recently? Does anyone here know?
Incidentally, I'd suspect myself of error, but I know that each time I wrote this stuff up I looked it up again - that is a lot of times re-reading the same information to make that mistake. It's still possible, but I find it unlikely, even for me. I remember that I kept checking it every time, explicitly because it was definitively "better" than the other ones.
EDIT: I'm totally redressed in all this awesome armor.

For limey :P Supposedly 'sponsored' by paizo, but I think that just means they'll be some PF there.
Ta - I thought it was just board-games, but I might give that a stab. A couple of my friends are volunteering for it.
Mind you, Harrogate is quite a hike. Still...

I'm like that too. Responding to caffeine by becoming calmer and better focused is pretty common for those of us with ADHD. :)I guess I always got away with getting soda because it always made me sleepy. Heck, I just drank a MD Livewire and it mellowed me out a bit.Mountain Dew is wonderful.For kindergarteners?
My parenting radar says no. :-)
Don't know if I have that or not. My mom refused to have me tested since this was in them middle of every f#&#ing kid being "diagnosed" with ADHD and getting Ritalin. You get Ritalin, and you get Ritalin, everyone gets Ritalin!

To be fair, I was leaving that year for Texas. So it was only about the first half of the year.Awww, I missed Tri :(I was there for a semester in... 09? I believe.Hey, we might have been in town at the same time then.
Ah, okies. I wasn't even playing Pathfinder then anyway.

But you still can't give drinks with that much caffeine in them to five year olds. It's too much for their size/age. Very not cool on the part of the parent who did that. Even less cool on the part of the teachers for not intervening. They totally deserve the angry phone calls coming their way. :P
The teacher wasn't there yet when the soda was dropped off.
Also, it turns out it was for a school thing this weekend.

Sounds like you're definitely younger than me. When I was a kid it was believed that girls couldn't have ADHD (that was a weird one with the psychologist telling my parents that I had all the symptoms but couldn't have ADHD because I'm a girl) and Ritalin was still quite uncommon. Not that my parents would have given it to me either way. There's a whole other rant though.

I figured out why Legion is so f!~#ing awesome.
It's made by Noah Hawley, the guy that does Fargo.
Which explains why it's so slow setting everything up. You watch by episode five or six s!~& will really hit the fan.

Mmp. My niece went through a scheduled set of big scans today - they discovered that her leg had no signs of cancer and it doesn't seem to have spread in her body, but she is suffering from blood clots at the moment, and so has been rushed to ER. Mph.
Sucks being so far away.
So, good news: it was one clot that split into two, one of which was headed to her heart, but, according to the surgeon, "God stopped it."
I am thankful and relieved.
thank God.

Home sick this afternoon. This is the FOURTH DAMNED TIME I've been sick since we came back from Christmas Break.
Seriously. I've been teaching for nine years, worked in a nursing home for eight years before that, and I have NEVER burned this many sick days in such a short span of time.And since I'm sick and home with Netflix, can someone please explain to me why everyone seems to think Supernatural is a good show? Does the writing ever improve? Because if it's supposed to be X-Files 2.0, well, they missed. And if it's just about pretty boys playing Emo Frank and Joe Hardy, then, gosh... they're not pretty enough to carry it off.
I liked the monsters and the overarching plot, until I realized that they weren't going to wrap it up around season 3. I still watch eps here and there with my wife who is a yuuuge fan, but...yeah. Studly bromance -- three-ways, in the later seasons! As she says, "It's a soap opera with monsters." Every couple of seasons they introduce a bigger badder critter for the bros to deal with -- eventually Dean will punch God himself out, and then next season he and Sam will have to fight the Great Old Ones. I do still get a kick out of the episodes with Felicia Day, though as I understand it people have very mixed feelings about her (in general).
Ever since my big hospital stay over Thanksgiving, I've been sick then asthmatic then sick then asmthatic...and it's getting really frustrating, so I feel your pain!
what's wrong with her exactly?

Nope. This insanity is from blue cross. Cigna was awful. You couldn't get them to pay for an office visit for anything and they made doctors go through ridiculous hoops to give prescriptions that could only be filled through their mail order pharmacy. But once you got through the initial insanity you could at least get the meds. Blue cross will pay for office visits, no muss no fuss. But god forbid you need to fill any but the most basic of prescriptions. I just want regular access to my diabetes meds, dammit!

Weird. Must be a state-by-state thing. I sent in 6 prescriptions to them (cholesterol, asthma, and allergies) and they just said, "No problem" and shipped 'em out.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate health insurance?
But then I guess I'm getting political...

It helps if you have a doctor or social worker who knows how to lay out the facts in terms they will understand: "I see you've approved my patient for a glucose test kit and lancets, but denied her test strips.* Ok that's totally fine, I'll just send you the bill for the extended hospital stay that she will need as a result of not being able to test her glucose...oh, your claims department has changed its mind on those test strips? Gee, how generous of them..."
*I kid you not, for one particular brand of diabetes supplies, my insurance covers the kit and the lancets but not the strips -- the most expensive components!
Political Rant:
Seeing how overall well universal coverage works for other countries, we here in the U.S.A. desperately need to eliminate the insurance industry middlemen and get on with No Citizen Left Behind!

Operation Disassemble And Rebuild Captain Yesterday's Entire Multimedia Collection is now complete. Mostly.
6 bookshelves taken apart and rebuilt, winter dust, mold and cobwebs destroyed. Two bookshelves built and added. 650+ CDs gone through, with hopelessly scratched, bland, or bad albums purged.
So, yay!

Not necessarily. My husband was diagnosed in the early seventies, put on Ritalin, taken back *off* Ritalin because it gave him paranoid hallucinations, and has been trying to manage with diet and extra sleep for most of his life.
And, boy howdy, is it still an issue. Particularly when he is stressed.

+1. I'm 40 years old and I still struggle to manage my ADHD. My sister who is five years younger than me also has trouble managing her ADHD. My dad is in his sixties and also still doesn't manage his ADHD well. Not everyone grows out of it. Most of us just get better at hiding it in public most of the time. :)

We were talking about the soda, and how inappropriate it is to give it to children in Kindergarten.Mountain Dew is wonderful.The soda or Nature's sexy sweat?
in my experience, kids are going to be hyper whether you give them the dew or milk. While I wouldn't give them a 2 liter to kill by their lonesome, I'd have no problem with a child sized glass of the stuff.

Today was Big HEMA Meet-Up Day.
I did a class in catch wrestling, which was good fun, then spent all day sword fighting. Didn't win much, but it was a laugh, and there was some pretty high-level rapier work which was a pleasure to watch.
However, after that, and spending yesterday hoiking six-inch thick, seven foot long planks up six flights of stairs because the boss very badly miscalculated the size of the new desks we'd bought, I am flippin' knackered, let me tell you.

So, I grew up on game boy Legend of Zelda cartridges (well, and Phantom Hourglass). Absolutely loved the series. I never had a Nintendo 64, however, so I never played Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. Never had a Wii or Wii U, either, so no Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, and only had a Gamecube and Wind Waker for a short time. Didn't get far in that game. So, for me, Legend of Zelda is a 2D series. I also haven't played it since, like, 2008. Well, I just bought a Nintendo 3DS a few weeks ago, with key intend to rectify that. It's a Hyrule model with the triforce, and as the New 3DS model, I can download from the virtual store. Haven't got anything yet, but intend to get the Legends of Zelda there eventually.
What I have right now is Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and A Link Between Worlds. Among other things (Pokemon Conquest is THE SHIZNIT). I just beat Ocarina of Time, and I have to say it didn't really do it for me. It actually doesn't feel too dated for a DS game in terms of graphics, and it wasn't bad, but the camera and controls are a bit frustrating. Also, while I understand that Ocarina of Time either invented or streamlined the Link to the Past versions of most of the core formula of Legend of Zelda, it remains that it feels like of... primitive compared to the Zelda games I remember best. That's not a point against Ocarina of Time, given that it was an earlier game, it's just something that really effects my personal enjoyment of it. On the other hand, it wasn't unfun, just frustrating (I swear it felt like a Souls game for 10 year olds sometimes), and the music is pretty amazing (Gerudo Valley Theme and Saria's Song in particular).
Now, everything I've heard about Majora's Mask sounds pretty damn cool (and a lot more interesting than Oracle of Time), but I hear it's pretty marathony, and school is picking up, so not now. Besides, I just got an hour into A Link Between Worlds, and HOLY CARP. The artwork is gorgeous, and the turn into a painting mechanic is pretty cool. I haven't gotten to Lorule yet, having just gotten the ability to become a painting, but so far I'm loving this. And no more counting/running out of arrows!
Now we just need the Nintendo Virtual Console to start selling GBA games for 3DS.
