Sorry, its been so long I cant remember. I gave up on NWN2 just after the bandit camp in chapter one and never bought MotB.

You must best one of the other mods in hand to hand combat.

That actually is user error Tep, I had the same problem. When patching manually, you have to put the update in a certain file folder then hit the update button. It would then find that file in the folder and apply the patch.

I was just looking for the patch. Do you happen to have a link to get the download? Others are having similar problems. I dont have the game. Doesnt it come with an auto-updater like the previous version? EDIT: Nvm, I just remembered you dont have an internet connection on that PC. Try Fileplanet. Thats what I had to do with NWN2 as I could never once get the autopatcher to work.

Did you install the day one patch?

Oooooh, now I get it. Happy Birthday Pixies!!!!

Yes, thats sound right now that you say it. I havent seen Bloodrayne then.

For the fat bag of loot. Someone remind me, in Bloodrayne the protaganist meets up with another woman who had hands grafted where her feet used to be, right? I think that was where I switched off my brain and settled in for just staring at her latex covered body for the rest of the movie.

Your birthday just pass HK?

Happy Birthday!!!! Is he even around anymore?

Ill probably get SoZ at some point but right now Im burning my way through Northrend (WoW). AND AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, I WILL LEARN 3.5E!!!11! Just in time to learn 4E.

Well, you have to admit, breaking conventions that have stood for 20 previous films is more then a slight departure.

Wasnt SoZ billed as being "like IWD"? Meaning, no VO or party banter at all? Just a traveling party of mutes.

Why would one need to edit poll results? Editing the poll question or some posts, sure, but the results?

Ah, makes sense.

Whats the difference between a normal moderator and a global moderator. Global mods lord over the regular mods?

I put a lot of energy into my staff too. hurhur.

I defer to your experience but according to this chart they arent doing too bad. Of course Im not sure what youre referring to by "working counterparts".

Fallout 3

*sigh* I guess I sould have seen this degenerating into niggling over hours. My 280 hours estimate was based on a 9 month working year for teachers which Hurlshot has corrected to a 10 month working year.

Thats not the point. A "working year" is 2080 hours (52 weeks x 40 hours per week). Whether you take work home, work longer hours because your job requires it, get an extra day off, call in sick, take vacation, etc... is all immaterial. If you are on a salary you pay doesnt change no matter how much or little you work. So with that in mind, a teachers "working year" is approximately 1440 hours due to the fact they have the summer break off. AFAIK, any teaching, coaching, etc... that occurs over the summer is voluntary and compensated with additional monies because, well, its a second job.

Yes, and for those that cant count, thats still 280 hours less per year then the rest of the country. I think maybe my terminology of "they only work 9 months" may be being unintentionally abrasive. Im strictly looking at salary / hours worked per year. I personally think teachers have the second most important job in the country right behind the police force.

Teachers only work 9 months per year. Unless your position is that those nine months are so packed with hours they make up for the 480 working hours of the remaining 3 months?

According to this Wall Street Journal article from 2007, your assumtion is wrong. Teachers salaries are based on a nine month contract so the average is based on that. Any additional work is above and beyond that. Incorrect, see link in this post.

But if you compare teachers to other highly educated fields, they are way behind the average. Teaching requires a four year degree and at least a year of graduate work. It also requires continuing education units in order to maintain a teaching credential. As for taks and Aristes, I'm really not disagreeing with you. It's not a perfect system, there are major flaws. I'm just not sure what the alternative is. I'm not a big fan of my union, but I'm also not a big fan of my district office. It's basically fighting fire with fire, but the alternative of no unions is much worse in my opinion. I have to disagree. If you look further down the "Personal income" link it states: Persons, age 25+, employed full time, with a Bachelors, average $50,944.00. So, only an average of $2,400.00 more than a teachers average. Im really not trying to bash you or any other teacher, I just dont get it. I mean, I get we all want more, more, more (see unionized autoworkers) but I dont get how acting underpaid in relation to others of the same level helps when it doesnt seem to bear out to the facts.
