My landlord's best friend, Miss Mary, had to fly home a couple years ago and deal with the estate of her departed aunt - Mary is in her 70s, and has been struggling to get this house (think 'Hoarders' on A&E) into shape to be sold. She's got it mostly whipped, but we're down to the wire.
I'm going to be down the 8th thru the 11th, and I would love to have anyone who can toss boxes or haul boxes to Mary's house, about 15 minutes away. I'll be renting a U-haul, but more chassis and more hands are always helpful.
I can't promise any recompensation, but I will do my damndest to see that anyone that can help will get their gas tank filled, and I can guarantee that we will get fed to the tune of Southern Fried Artery Lubricant.

Ideas for adventuring in an alternate Camelot... or for inclusion in a revised edition for 4e, in the unlikely event that ever happens.

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

This idea oddly enough started while I was kicking a writers block for Dakota. It started as someone that was so heavy biomodded that they where pretty much a human mind in a completely animal body do to someone experimenting on them. It evolved from there until he ended up pretty much a ghost in a machine.
My muse works oddly and tends to latch onto things until I put them down onto paper.

Another "Mal's Bored At Work" production!

Following up on the one I did for Genaros, I'm writing a short few paragraphs on all the listed stations at L5. So far I've gotten the three Bernal habitats finished, and more will come as I need to avoid productivity or just get bored. Comments, ideas and brickbats welcome. --Mal

As found in the stories here, Duke Nukem Forever is apparently coming closer to being non-vaporware with Gearbox showing a limited-level playable demo at PAX - on Xbox 360's at that! Seeing that's gonna be running on the main gaming system pyramid of PC/PS3/X360 there's no way the PC I'd spec'd to run DNF on back in the day would even be able to run it.

Now all we need's for someone to do a SE of Duke Nukem 3D.....

Varitech Tools' City of Heroes macro generator.  A very nice pick-and-click macro builder which, as far as I can tell, always turns out a valid macro.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Okay, folks, now it's my turn to solicit advice. I've never done a major respec before, and I could really use some help.
I'm pretty happy for the most part with Evangelia's build, but she's the second toon I ever had, and I made some mistakes and poor decisions in building her. I think I managed to mitigate most of them, but it's time that I finally correct all of them from the ground up. So I'm soliciting advice.
Okay a few notes on what I want and what I don't want:
First off, this is my best reconstruction of how I built her, based on the order of the powers in her lists, and my faint recollection of her last few levels. I am not wedded to the order of anything here, power acquisition or slot assignment or anything.
Priority for the rebuild: Improving her endurance/recharge rate. That's always been her weakness, and I've had it rubbed in my face a few times in the last week or so. I'm willing to trade damage for endurance, but I'd like to keep her accuracy and defense/damage resistance close to their current levels. (Hell, if you can improve her toughness, please do so.)
I'm going to get rid of her jump kick no matter what, as I never use it; I was considering a respec just to dump it. Now that I have the Veteran's Reward to do so, I want to slot her superjump at level 6.
I want to keep all the attack powers in Broadsword. Confront would be nice but is not really needed.
No purple IOs, please. I never did finish kitting her out with all the sets I wanted, which is why some powers have just IOs -- fill'em with whatever works.
I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something. If it comes to me, well. there'll be a post or comment. Terr, I know you gave me a lot of good advice, did I miss anything?
In advance, thanks to everyone who helps.

Yeah. My dad's system, an approximately 4 year old Vista PC, has been getting cranky lately.
Seems it doesn't like sending everything a printer needs to print more than one page of documents at a time anymore, AND we've got a memory leak SOMEWHERE that is brutally taking up 75% of system resources.
Well, my dad has no patience for workarounds (like printing one page at a time or moving the files via thumb drive to MY computer, which prints just fine to the same printer), and he's getting cranky that I can't just wave my hand and fix it.
He can still function somewhat on the web, but he doesn't LIKE reading his pdf reading assignments for his college classes on the monitor, he wants hardcopy.
So my actual web access for what I want to do is going to be severely limited for a while until we get the situation resolved.
