Eon Silvertongue replied to Noir's topic in D&D 5e: A New Age's Topics
Eon nods in acquiescence, and with a deft twist of the wrist, the dagger seemingly disappears. "You're the boss. Lead on."
"I find that a dagger through the heart is pretty immediately terminal. There'd be no "Oh, I have been stabbed, better slash my hand, daub this message, put my dagger away and quietly expire." There would be "Oh," and he would be dead. Particularly with the blade actually buried in his heart." Eon sighs. "Several issues with this. One; We both do not know this. Because people do. Not everyone is well versed in a blade to know the most efficient methods of killing themselves. Two; What you are talking about are what you would do were you trying to kill him. Not him committing suicide. Three; There is nothing hasty about his message. If it was, it would have been a fraction the length, the letters would have been different sizes and it would have faded in and out as he ran out of blood and continued on rather than going over everything clearly. Four; if it is as you say, he managed to turn around and barbecue his attacker without sustaining any other defensive wounds. Five: If that is so, I suppose he tore his own shirt to paint a bullseye on where he wished to be stabbed? AS I find it hard to believe that if there was enough of a scuffle to tear his shirt there are not other cuts or abrasions on his person, and what killed him was a single stab, not a slash, and further, a stab that was not pushed the whole way in.. Sooooo no. I sincerely doubt he was killed by this thing. Besides. Were he dying, why bother writing trapped in his message at all?" "In this regard, we are at least in agreement. Though I'd like to know why Shayuri thinks we shouldn't first." He leans back against the wall, one foot resting on it as he takes out the cloth and proceeds to at least clean the dagger of any blood.
"Well shit." Eon mutters to himself. Placing a commiserating hand on Arturs shoulder, giving a light squeeze. As Delgath pipes up he responds "You'd be more useful by the door, actually. Stabbing anything that tries to lock us in. Again. But thank you." paying the irate warrior no more heed, he moves into the room. "For all that, though. It looks fairly straightforward. Toral was in here and was attacked. He killed him or it with fire, but the door had been sealed and he wasn't able to open it from the inside. He committed suicide rather than facing a slow death by starvation or suffocation." he pauses for a moment, eyes glancing over the message left behind and frowning. "Or possibly just in shame. About three days ago." he hunkers down, glancing in askance at the dagger still on his hip and the one lodged into his chest. "Though why the Dwarfs dagger is beyond me." He gestures to the pictographs displaying the Dwarf wielding a dagger and again at the Sarcophagus distinctly missing a dagger of any description. With a quiet "Pardon me" to the corpse, he reaches forward and, one hand splayed against the chest, withdraws the dagger with the other. Standing up and looking at the dagger, he grunts. "Well, it's a dagger, certainly. Of good quality. Dwarven, obviously. Beyond that, I've got nothing. Could be magic. Could not. You know anything about it, Arturs?"
Eon looks askance at Dread, letting out a snort thick with scorn. A blade of ill quality indeed "I saw no mewling. And to claim as much speaks more to your own inadequacies than any potential fault of the rest. A paladin that turned away every undead within sight. I saw fire and lightning turned to our aid and I saw recognition of capabilities, where those that recognised an inability to outright kill struck in ways to deflect and delay. And then I saw a meathead railing about the injustice of it all. Your inability to recognise any contributions because they didn't result in an outright death immediately is ill becoming a warrior of your supposed tactical acumen. But then, why am I bothering. I'd be better served talking to one of the corpses. They might at least contribute something meaningful to the conversation. They're certainly more personable." He'd met Dreads sort time and time again. On both sides of the law. They kept going to a certain point, full of braggodocio. And then they're found face down in a canal with a dagger in their back and a belly full of poison, just to be sure. He inclines his head to the Paladin. "I'm a suspicious sort, at the best of times. Growing up as I did, I tend to assume the worst. It means I'm pleasantly surprised when they don't come about. Worst case scenario for me. Toral, in an attempt to contribute more to the village, summoned up something he shouldn't have and he's being used like a meat puppet. Option two: he somehow woke up this long dead wizard and the wraith is doing much the same. Both of these explain the potential fixation on Arturs as well as the use of the undead. But then, that's my knee jerk reaction, as I said. Option three: the wards were doing more than just keeping the shelter intact and protected, but were in fact acting as a prison of some sort. The danger seemingly past, Toral is not just maintaining the wards, but actively studying them and trying to make changes. Predictable results ensue and the end result is much like options one and two." there's a brief pause as he cocks his head in thought. "Actually, worst worst case is we're standing on top of a portal to one of the hellscapes and the entire world is about to be eaten by demons or the horrors are back. But I don't think that's happened. Far too little screaming so far. But anyway. The rest are more boring and or mundane. Those are the ones which fit what I know..... as well as making for a better story." The deadpan look he receives from some of the party has him chuckling. "Hey, I'm a Bard. Stories are my thing, and no matter how warped they may become, there's a grain of truth to pretty much all of them."
Eon let out a small sigh, flicking some of the errant gore from the length of his blade, quietly running a cloth over the steel to remove any lingering traces of the rot. A moment in the field saves an hour off it. Or so his mentor had said, at any rate. Sliding the rapier back into it's scabbard with a whispering rasp, he turns to the Party. "Well. That went well, I think." there's a moment of stunned silence at his chipper declaration and he shrugs. "Yeesh. Tough crowd. But I think we learned a lot today. Really grew as people. Oh, and found out that our mysterious villain is some flavour of Necromancer or undead abomination and seems to have a fixation on our young friend here." he throws an arm around Arturs shoulder, all bright smiles with sharp edges. "So...... know any Necromancers you may have pissed off in the last ever? I'll admit, I have suspicions now. Or rather, some of my already established suspicions are looking more likely as time goes on. Cause that level of dedication isn't spawned on a whim. They really desperately wanted to kill you. So you either A) Pissed someone off royally or B ) Someone reckons out of all of us, you are the most dangerous to them, either by knowing something, or posessing something."
OOC: D&D 5e: A New Age - Combat, Saves and so forth
Eon's gonna attack number 7 in the hopes of taking it out of the fight. Thrust: 1d20+5 25 Striking with superlative style! Follow Through: 2d8+3 16 Eon tisks in derision. "You know, Dread. I think I understand why you have to compensate so much. Maybe if you took some of the dick out of your personality, you'd have been able to satisfy some of those poor women." He casually steps to the side, the tip of his blade a flicker of glinting steel as it first tears the throat of one of the zombies and then pierces through the eyesocket and punches clean through the back of it's head. The zombie gives a briefly terminated groan as he withdraws the blade and it drops like a sack of potatos. "Besides. I thought your were supposed to be awesome? Am I supposed to be impressed yet? What stories I will be able to tell. Brave and mighty Dread. OF such skill that he was overcome by zombies and needed his party to bail him out. Tisk tisk." The derision in his voice was thick enough to be a physical thing. Could have been, if he had projected it a bit more. "Hurt is hurt, if it makes them easier to kill, stop bitching and fucking kill them."
Eon is casting Vicious mockery on Zombie number 3, as it's the only one unturned and he's unlikely to be able to kill it in one hit. Vicious Mockery: 1d4 2 It needs to pass a wisdom save or suffer disadvantage on its next attack roll. Will fluff once I come up with something for it. For now, carry on. Turning to the Zombie doing his utmost to chew Artur's face off, Eon raises one eyebrow. "You know, Arturs, it's sort of alarming how they seem to be fixating on you a bit. Something we should know?" letting our a piercing whistle to catch the Zombies attention, he continues. "I see the gods really broke the mould when they were making you.... have you tried asking for your money back?"
Attack of Opportunity: 1d20+5 8 -_-" This is why I hate DnD. D20's loathe me.
Benefits to being a bard: General all round awesomeness. Good storytellers. Definitely literate. Do not need instructions translated into gorilla in order to understand them. Can post in the right place. Action: Casting Vicious Mockery at #1 Rolls: Vicious Mockery: 1d4 4 as well as suffering disadvantage on it's roll. Bonus Action: And Shayuri gets a Bardic inspiration dice. I will add the fluff tomorrow once I wake up. Fluff Eon felt a shudder of revulsion claw it's way up his spine as he landed in the corpses lap with a sound that he did not want to think to hard on the provenance of. He was no stranger to dead things, but sitting on top of them was not something he could claim any degree of comfort with. Feeling the corpse jolt underneath him, he closes his eyes in resignation "Of course, you wouldn't be as dead as you appeared. Of. Fucking. Course." Pushing off from the wall, he nimbly takes his feet, drawing his rapier at the same time. Looking down on his opponent he feels a sneer of disgust creeping across his face. "Ugh. I can't tell whether being left to rot for a week made you better or worse looking. Either way." he shudders dramatically, the corpse reeling under the force of his disdain. "Come on! They're only corpses. They've already died once. Just gotta make it stick this time! Come on Shayuri, talk about frying fish in the barrell!" the surprise at the sudden animations gives way under the force of his exhortation, his sheer belief in the parties capabilities bolstering resolve, and spurring them on.
Initiative: 1d20+3 18 Well, better than what I rolled previously.
Pffft. Not with my Acrobatics score I wont. (watch as I botch and have to go and create another character. xD) Reflex Save: 1d20+3 21 Acrobatics: 1d20+5 10 Well.... it wasn't a botch?
Pulling up the half mask to cover the bottom half of his face and hopefully filter out some of the smell, Eon grimaces in disgust. "Well. I think we found some of the errant Villagers." He takes a step into the room, breathing shallow. Approaching one of the corpses, he hunkers down, the dagger a glint of steel in his hand as he uses the flat to raise the head. "Throats in one piece. No obvious wounds..... looks like they sealed themselves in. Might have suffocated if they couldn't get the door open again once they closed it. Which means that whatever we're looking for is likely elsewhere in the Shelter." He lets the head drop back down to the corpses chest. Standing up, he takes a look around the room. "How many people would you say have gone missing, Arturs? My guess is this lot is the group of villagers they sent in. No Women. No Children. Though given the room was sealed, what we're looking for is likely elsewhere..... although....." He focuses on the door once again. "You said only you three knew how to open the door, which would explain why they may have gotten sealed in in the first place, but that doesn't explain why the door was open to begin with. You said it's only opened for special events? I'm assuming the last one wasn't particularly recent." One of the corpses by the door catches his interest and he moves over to it, wincing in sympathy as the extent of it's injuries. "Ah. Mostly no obvious wounds." The corpse in front of him was just by the door and one of it's arms and legs was mangled beyond recognition. "Caught in the door maybe?" he winces in sympathy "Not a fun way to go."
Eon stepped out the door, raking his fingers through his hair and putting on his hat, pulling it down to shade his eyes from the early morning sun. Blearily blinking against the light, he spies the rest of the group and approaches the table in silence helping himself to some food. Offering little more than a grunt in greeting. Unusual for the usually smiling and chatty Bard, it was something the rest of the party had had to get used to as they travelled. Eon was not a morning person. He'd perk up a bit once he had some food and drink in him, but wouldn't reach his usual effervescent self till mid-day. Quickly downing a glass of water, he sighed. Cool, sweet, Refreshing..... and not coffee. Gods he wished he had remembered to bring some along, but he'd been in a bit of a rush at the time. Nothing like it to put some pep in your step. When approached about the plan he grumbles something approaching assent before returning to his food, already looking much less like a corpse than he had been.
Eon cocked his head to the side in surprise. Seeing the Paladins arrival with Wizard in tow. Still, he supposed. Saved him the effort of turfing them out of bed for their watch. The Paladin was probably used to it. Most religious types were, from his experience. Temples kept the strangest hours. Shrugging, he greets the two with a quiet "Morning" and a nod. As everyone else exchanged brief pleasantries, he drew his cloak tighter about himself to ward off any more of the nights chill. He was going to be glad to be back inside. His lifestyle was oft nocturnal as it was, but he still preferred being inside and in the.... not quite as cold, at least. "Been all quiet so far. Nothing of any particular note. Although, we did take a look around earlier. The scratches on the door seem to actually form sigils and carry at least a slight charge of magic. A curse of some description. We decided to leave 'em be for tonight and talk it over with everyone in the morning." he says, gesturing towards the front of the house, indicating the sigils. "just figured you'd like a heads up for your watch, so you can go ahead with everything in mind." He offers the two a small smile. "Now, if you don't have any questions, my bed is calling me." he nonetheless doesn't move, allowing them time to gather their thoughts and ask any questions they might have.
Eon hummed in acceptance, but otherwise remained silent as they returned to the hall for the remainder of their watch.
He offers a shrug and a slight self-deprecating smile. "Being able to recognise and repeat Coats of Arms and Heraldry is part of a Bards stock and trade. One develops an eye for details like personal sigils and the like if only to avoid offending your patrons." he demurred. Left unsaid was that it also helped when it came to forging documents, but that was besides the point. "My mentor showed it to me more as warning than anything else. She deemed that being able to recognise a cursed location *before* one walked inside to be of some use." he shrugs, tone sardonic. "I can't say I disagree with her." He pipes down to let her work her magic, keeping a wary eye on the surrounding streets. Particularly those points where his vision began to dwindle and the shadows drew uncanny shapes that couldn't help but catch the eye. "As you say. But best not to underestimate. Still. At least we know that it's a general malignancy, rather than a pointed vandetta." He pauses a second, a thoughtful look on his face. "I'm not actually sure which I would have preferred, to be honest." And they circled the hall, quiet Elvish floating through the air as they continued the patrol. "It's strange. To go through so much effort for such a comparatively petty end. And.... to be honest, I would not expect anyone who knew how to use these Runes to be so.... I don't know. Slapdash? In their application. Maybe it's my own perfectionist nature, but it strikes me as odd that these sigils are as crude as they are. " He shakes his head. "Regardless, do you think that we'd be able to disrupt the magic safely by breaking the Sigil? Stories abound of disrupting magic by breaking a symbol of some sort, but I will be the first to acknowledge that in many cases the story comes before a lot of trifling details."
Eon let out a low whistle, going on to explain the symbol to his companion. "Whatever it is, it's got a serious Axe to grind with the village, seemingly. And either thinks it can use magic, but can't..... or is just really bad at it. You getting anything from the Sigil? I can't tell just by looking and I'd rather not poke at it too much if I can avoid it." He pauses in thought for a second, arms crossed and a finger idly tapping at his chin. "We may also want to check the other houses, see if they're all like this, or if it's just Alrid's house. That can wait till morning, however. Best we not wander too far when we're on watch."
Eon winced at the sudden sound. He'd gotten used to the quiet of the night and the call sounded disproportionately loud in the otherwise deserted streets. The village remained ominously silent even afterwards and he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. Not fear, as such, but anticipation. Wondering if the noise was the spark that would set off the Powder Keg. When nothing happened he pads towards the edge of the roof, taking one last look around before dropping down to the street level and landing on silent feet. Coming up behind his fellow Half-Elf, he takes a moment to observe the scratches, humming an agreement to her comment. There really was a purpose to these scratches. Trailing one gloved finger along the edge of the divots in the wood, he frowns in thought, mentally digging through the trove of knowledge he'd acquired down through the years. Location was interesting. There were some scratches around the edges of both door and shutters, but they seemed almost random, probably just from trying to leverage the door open, as Delgath had said. But the scratches in the middle of the door.... His eyes flick to the shutter, where similar markings adorned the shutters. Marking the middle of each point of entry like that was interesting. Could be a marker for the house. Thieves had been known to leave subtle marks behind in order to remind themselves and warn other thieves about the contents of houses, the locations of safe houses and the like. But that was usually one mark well hidden in a location only Thieves would give a second look at. Marking every door and window seemed like a lot of effort for a mark that said "You've already been here". It almost looked like some rudimentary ward. A mark on every point of entry felt like it could be warding something from entering the building. But that would be distinctly odd if the thing was trying to get in itself. Curious.
Eon let out a snort, rolling his eyes at the Warriors exit. Catching Rhosh's eye he flashes a quick grin, making the gesture that Thieves everywhere had come to use for "Nobles" and the general dickishness that seemingly comes with any title, a long suffering expression of "What can you do?" on his features. He had nothing but respect for the skills, but Bahamuts Platinum Ballsack the man was a boor. No sense of fun whatsoever. He continues as though Delgath hadn't spoken, "I'll keep vigil with Shayuri and wake Krusk and our Arturs for the final watch." He stops for a second, the amusement draining from his face. "Do keep your knives close and a weather eye out. Sehanine's blessings on you. I'll see you in a couple of hours."
Eon nodded in agreement, still plucking away. "If Delgath is taking the first watch, I'll take the second. We can set up a rotation if this takes longer than we'd imagined."
Looking out the window, at the surrounding darkness, Eon ventures "Well, if they show up every night, odds are good we'll experience it for ourselves in short order. The question becomes do we wait till morning. Keep watch but otherwise rest tonight and start investigating properly tomorrow. Do we patrol the village tonight and wait for the thing to come to us, or do we cut right to the source and go to the Shelter while it has left it's probable lair?"He sat sits back idly picking up the cittern that had been sitting propped up against his chair. He idly begins strumming, long hours of practice allowing him to play without even thinking.

Mmm. For the most part. That's not to say that the characters can't argue like it's going out of fashion, though. But yeah. Its the same conceit that ensures that I will never steal from another party member. A certain level of suspending disbelief is to be expected in order to game together properly. And honestly, nothing destroys parties quite like having the rogues steal from them. It's one of the few things that actually pisses me off OOC as much as it does IC.
Eon nodded along "Aye. I'm just trying to get a grasp on how things are happening.Does it happen to several houses a night? Or does whatever it is move on after a single one? Have any of the houses been visited more than once? I'm assuming that it started with the houses closest to the Shelter, but does it spread deeper into the village or has it remained at the edges?"
Eon had spent most of the night plying his primary trade. The people, he could see, were mostly simple folk and the situation had been weighing on them heavily. The appearance of their little group had begin to lift their spirits, true, but the more they got to unwind, the better. The less likely someone was to do something stupid. And so, he spent most of the meal travelling from table to table, laughing, singing, playing and talking, the atmosphere lightening as he continued on till the sounds of laughter and happy talking began to build. When the people finally left, he plopped down in his seat with a sigh, winking at one of the serving girls and sending her scurrying away flushing scarlet. After that, he listened with an politely concerned expression. The man didn't *seem* to be trying to conceal anything and was only concerned with his people. Running his fingers through his hair and tucking an errant strand behind one of his ears he nodded at the Dragonborn "Could be, but it's unlikely to be a cursed Were, at any rate. They change with the moon and the marks were more akin to fingernails than the claws one would expect from their kind, even with the full moon having just passed. Those born as Were, on the other hand..... well, the claws remain the point, I think. We don't know enough to narrow it down. There are... a lot of things that could do this." He turns back to Alrid, flashing the tired man a smally, sympathetic smile. "On the nights the marks were left, did the people in the houses hear something scratching at their doors? Did anyone hear anything, for that matter?"

GM's new Chevy Blazer will be built in Mexico
by Chris Isidore @CNNMoney June 22, 2018: 12:18 PM ET
See the all-new Chevy Blazer
General Motors' hot new SUV will be made in Mexico.
The rebooted Chevrolet Blazer is part of GM's attempt to make SUVs in all shapes and sizes to quench Americans' insatiable thirst for big cars. The Blazer is bigger than an Equinox but smaller than a Traverse.
GM hasn't made a Blazer since 2005. The new Blazer doesn't look like the old one, but like the original Blazer, it's aimed at a younger audience.
Why is GM building such a high-profile SUV aimed at an American audience in its Ramos, Mexico, plant?
Mexican plants have cheaper labor costs than in the United States, and GM's Ramos plant is already set up to manufacture bigger cars, including the Equinox SUV. (It also makes the smaller hatchback Cruze there.)
GM operates three assembly plants in Mexico. The Silao and San Luis Potosi locations are the two others. The company employs about 15,000 there.
But the decision to build autos in Mexico is fraught with controversy.
The Trump administration has threatened to penalize automakers that import cars and trucks to the United States. The White House is also seeking changes to NAFTA, which currently allows free movement of vehicles and parts across the US borders with Mexico and Canada. Vehicles built in Mexico and Canada and sold in the US market use many parts built in US factories.
Related: GM is bringing back the Chevy Blazer, an SUV classic
GM is not alone in building vehicles in Mexico for the US market. All of the major automakers have plants in Mexico building cars and trucks for the US market.
But the industry has gradually returned to the United States over the past decade. American auto sales have climbed since the Great Recession, and automakers have brought back many of the jobs at US plants -- GM employs 103,000 in the United States, 33% more people at US auto plants than it did in 2009.
The last time the Blazer was built by GM in 2005, it was manufactured in three plants that have long since closed -- in Moraine, Ohio, Linden, New Jersey, and Pontiac, Michigan.

This report provides a detailed update of the productivity estimates for the broadacre and dairy industries, through to 2015-16. This edition also provides a special insight into the effects of farm size on productivity in the beef industry.
This publication reports on farm performance and explores the estimates of productivity trends in Australia's broadacre and dairy industries up to 2015-16.
Farm size has a positive relationship with productivity (i.e. large farms tend to have higher productivity) and capital hire may provide a channel to improve farm productivity.
Better transport infrastructure (which reduces transport costs) increases the value of farmland traded. The benefits generated by particular types of infrastructure services vary between industries and with farm size.
A summary ABARES research on the grains outlook and productivity is presented.
Declines in winter rainfall, with a deterioration in climate conditions, across many grain-growing regions reduced productivity levels between 2000-01 and 2014-15. Farms have become less sensitive to adverse climate shocks in the decade to 2014-15, suggesting farmers have adopted a variety of management practices that reduced the impact of lower winter rainfall.
Australian rural research development and extension funding was worth over $3.3 billion in 2014-15. This report explores the Australian rural R&D system.
This paper provides insights into vegetable, horticulture and cotton farmers' use of labour, recent recruitment experiences and expected future labour requirements.
This note explores the latest estimates of productivity trends in Australia's beef, sheep, cropping and dairy industries. The effect of climate on cropping productivity is examined in more detail.
This article uses farm survey data to assess the contribution of cross-farm resource reallocation to industry-level productivity growth in Australian broadacre agriculture.
Agricultural productivity growth has slowed since the mid-1990s; likely due to long-term decline in public R&D investment and climate variability.
This technical paper uses the growth accounting approach to estimate total factor productivity in the Australian agriculture industry between 1949 & 2012.
This note examines the 2016 estimates of productivity trends in Australia's beef, sheep, cropping and dairy industries. Some of ABARES findings on the drivers of productivity are also summarised.
This paper explores the relationship between the input substitution, farm productivity and size. A theoretical model is developed and tested using farm survey data from Australian broadacre agriculture.
This note explores how farm performance varies relative to farm size.
This paper uses farm-level data to examine resource reallocation in the Australian dairy industry between 1979 and 2013, and assesses the contribution of this process to industry-level productivity growth before and after deregulation reforms were introduced in 2000.
This report examines Australian and international experience in monitoring farmgate and retail prices for food products. It also outlines a simple methodology to monitor farm shares and farm-to-retail price spreads for food products, and investigates the potential to apply the methodology to Australian data.
Resource reallocation between relative farms accounted for around half the industry-level productivity growth between 1978 and 2010, and its contribution increased over time. This effect is mainly caused by the asymmetric impact of technological progress on incumbent farms.


Behind the Leos and Jennifers and Chewitels are thousands of supporting players: Your Alisons and Chrises and Judys, delivering performances and work just as worthy of recognition, certainly a gentle backslap for them being them. That's what "Performance Review" is about: highlighting under-sung or less flashy performances that nevertheless deserve written praise… say here, in a blog post. The goal is recognition and encouragement. Because if I were a pretty successful working actor considering whether to keep it up or move back home to take over the family business, I'd want something like this to help me stay motivated. But the performance worthy of your attention this week? Stephanie Beatriz as Detective Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the recent Golden Globe winner for Best Comedy, has one of the strongest overall casts of any sitcom on television. Andy Samberg (the Golden Globe winner for Best Actor) nails the line between man-child and competent professional. Andre Braugher plays a perfect straight (even though he's gay I'm so sorry) man. You've got Terry Crews' super cop head case, Chelsea Peretti's impressively unimpressed administrator, Joe Lo Truglio's eager-to-please sidekick. The show is almost mathematically perfect in its assembly of comedic types.Stefanie Beatriz's Detective Rosa Diaz could have amounted to "the angry one." And considering the energy levels of the other characters, this might have been enough — she both grounds and elevates Brooklyn's comedy at the same time. Something as simple as her vote for RoboCop as the best cop movie ("I like… the violence") just WORKS. But beneath the endless array of scowls, grimaces, and stone-faced looks she throws at everyone in the precinct, there's this soft hint of humanity that makes her a much richer character.One of the best things Beatriz brings to the character is her intense inscrutability. Like the Mona Lisa, or one of those "Many Moods of… " t-shirts, it's borderline impossible to get a read on whether Diaz is happy, sad, angry, hungry… You never quite know what Diaz you're getting! And for the characters in the 99, her every reaction is something to puzzle over. What makes that puzzle worth solving (sorry) are these glimmers of depth. A quick nod. A barely visible smile. Like any great character out of the Office school of comedy, it's not in the dialogue but in the candid asides that we begin to really understand who someone really is. Beatriz gives us just enough to understand where the Diaz is at, and makes her that much more compelling to watch.There's also the fact that Beatriz — and the writers — do such a great job subverting the "brassy Latina" stereotype. (We can talk about it, it's okay!) Big ensemble comedies like this one have often featured female characters of Hispanic origin who are so boisterous, so larger-than-life, that they feel less like three-dimensional humans than laugh cues. And I'm not saying that Sofia Vergara's Gloria on Modern Family fits that bill, exactly… but the constant "JAY! JAAAAAAAAYYY!" screams don't advance the cause, either. In Diaz you've got a consummate professional woman who isn't defined by how loudly she yells, but by how well she does her job. And obviously she's funny in the process, because this is a comedy!
I was hard-pressed to find clips that articulate the points I'm making above, but for the sake of giving you something to cling to (and a way to break up this unwieldy text beast), here's a scene from a recent episode, "The Pontiac Bandit."
Not a precise encapsulation of all the the things we love about Rosa Diaz, but the clip still illuminates her generally combative disposition... and the way she, every so often, lets someone in. Beatriz has managed to turn what could have been a one-note character (this would never happen with the show's writing pedigree, but hypothetically) into someone intriguing and deep, an integral part of a well-oiled comedic machine. Great character. Great performance.

The difference between wellness care versus crisis care. As natural healthcare becomes more and more popular in America, it is crucial to understand the difference between a wellness provider and a "sickness" provider. While neither is right or wrong and both are necessary it is still important to know how they differ. In today's issue we will delve into the difference between the two. Another important concept which goes along with it is the difference between the vitalistic and mechanistic approaches to health care.
The problem with that is your headaches are usually a sign of chemical or mechanical stress. The vitalistic or wellness philosophy understands that your body is a complex system. Many of the tasks your body performs rely on other systems. I know, it sounds confusing. So let's get into our headache example. If your body chemistry is out of balance, it can lead to headaches. What if your vascular system is out of balance? It can lead to headaches. If the muscles of your head, face, neck, back or shoulder are out of balance guess what? It can lead to headaches. So a wellness provider seeks to restore chemical and mechanical balance. When your systems cooperate and work together in harmony and balance, will you have headaches?
In fact a wellness doctor will help your body work better even when your body has no symptoms. If you don't change the oil in your car, your car won't have any "symptoms" until it reaches the breaking point. Your body works the same way. Just because you don't hurt doesn't mean your body is functioning at 100%. A wellness doctor is aimed at helping your body work at its best.
Would you like a better working body? Have you been from doctor to doctor with no real answers? If so, you can contact us one of several ways to set up a consultation. You can reach us on the web, stop by our office in Redmond, WA, or call us at 425-868-0120. Then I will personally sit down with you and talk about your suffering and how it affects your life. I will even do some preliminary testing as well as Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA). In fact did you know that both NASA and Cancer Treatment Centers of America rely on BIA? These tests help me determine if you are a good candidate for care. If you're not, we'll make every effort to provide the proper referral.

Dominick Reyes Not Impressed With UFC Main Event in Vegas
Anuj Asrani
Though he wasn't a part of the commentary team, Dominick Reyes didn't shy away from providing his inputs throughout the main event of UFC Vegas 8.
Dominick Reyes is the current no.1 contender for the UFC light heavyweight title. He will take on Jan Blachowicz next for the title after Jon Jones vacated it to peruse his heavyweight dreams.
UFC Vegas 8 had Aleksandar Rakic take on Anthony Smith at the main event in a light heavyweight clash. Live-tweeting throughout the main event, Reyes called the main event "lame" and provided constant feedback as the fight continued.
The main event was a one-sided affair. Rakic punished Smith throughout the fight and destroyed Smith's legs, to say the least. He even took the fight down to the mat and dominated it down there.
Dominick Reyes lays it all down
At the end of the three rounds, the fight was scored at 30-27, 30-27, and 30-26 all in favor of Rakic. Reyes was supposedly not even aware of the fact that the main event was a three round bout and was surprised when he found out.
He let out comments like, "Not the greatest Fight IQ should prolly break and smash him, But what do I know!" He even targeted Anthony Smith in particular and said, "The ol ball up on the ground technique."
At the end of the main event, he called it "lame" and even sighed at the contest and said, "Welp that uneventful #UFCVegas8."
The 30-year-old will take on Blachowicz at UFC 253 for the division's title. This match was fixed because of Jones moving on to heavyweight and leaving the belt vacant. Initially scheduled to take on Jones, Blachowicz will now have to beat Reyes to get a hold of the title.
Who do you think will be the new light heavyweight champion at the end of UFC 253?
