The folks at the webcomic xkcd.com have created an updated version of their Map of Online Communities.
You can see the original 2007 version here.It is interesting to see what has changed and what has not between the two versions.
I really like how the new version places the online communities in a much larger context of spoken language, email, and SMS (texting).

Just a head's up, Beta 3 is scheduled for April 12th.
The Beta 3 series of Fallen Enchantress will be revolving around faction differentiation. It also contains a lot of tweaks and balance based on player feedback.
April 12 can't come fast enough!
Shoot! That means that effectively, in my scheduling, I need to advance "Tax Day" to happen about a week earlier...
Legend of Grimrock.It also has a NO automap option I hear it's more of a Dungeon Master clone, actually, but I've never played that one
I think they were talking about this game
Legend of Grimrock
Looks very interesting.
Eye of the Beholder was actually a mostly-clone of an older classic title, originally for the Amiga, called Dungeon Master. The new game that is coming out is called Legend of Grimrock.
Can't wait to play Legend of Grimrock:
FE Beta 3 must be releasing that day to celebrate!
Grimrock doesn't do much for me by the looks of it. Main features to stop my purchase are:
FE Beta3 FTW!
It's not dungeon keeper, it's dungeon master. And it very much reminds me of those types of games.
Very different to Dungeon keeper.
It does have a map editor of sorts, IIRC a map can easily be created in notepad!
These sorts of games rarely come with random dungeons (Hack! by TSR being the only one I can think of that did). Also they are rarely turn-based, are you sure you are thinking of the right style of game? It is Tile based however the same as the old school games.
In fact old School is on a bit of a revial, what with Wasteland 2 being made, and with the original team that created it (and fallout 1, fallout 2, Baldur's Gate etc.) In fact this Wasteland project is probably the most excited I have been about an upcoming game ever. The dream team of RPG's coming back together to make an old school game that doesn't give a shit about how 'new gamers or console players' feel about the game. take this quote from an interview for example:-
MF: There seem to be two halves of the gaming universe. Old guys like me who grew up on Fallout. I remember pouring over decisions and redoing combat, just because an NPC died. I loved that dog too much to let him go. The other half, though, are much younger. Their first introduction to the universe was Fallout 3 and New Vegas. How are they going to be able to relate to this game having no real frame of reference for these classic, wonderful RPGs?BF: The thing about this project being fan-funded is that I'm not worried about this new group of people and how they might get it. This is being made for people like yourself that grew up playing Wasteland, Fallout and Fallout 2. These new people, who have never played these games, I think they're going to check it out and have a great time. I'm simply not going to worry about how I get these console guys to come over and like it, because there is no reason to. We all know the experience that we grew up with. We all loved it and we've all been wanting one, so that's what I'm going to bring. It's not a putdown on the console product, it's just that I'm not going to worry about how to get them.That was a bit of a tangent, but I get excited about old school RPG's
EoB was my first RPG, if you'd call it that.
As limited as the technology was at the time, wandering through its dungeons really gave me the shivers. The immersion was amazing, as without automap you really had to imagine yourself there in order to find your way through the corridors. Yes, I actually believe that even a simple "missing" feature like that made a lot of difference compared to nowadays' games. I truly hope this new title can capture a fraction of that brilliance
I played all the old style dungeon crawlers and I think they are great. I use to make maps taking weeks to play through a game because I had to make sure I had every square inche of the place mapped.
It might not be a game for everybody but man at the price of 12$ and the graphic that you get I saw a few game play on Tube and it's way worth 12$.
Try and get any new game for that price now days... and for the map editor the makers promise one after the game comes out. This game really makes me think of Stonekeep... I think it was one of the last great games of the same genre that came out.
Next wednesday will be a sick day for me at work...
I know we shouldn't be talking about another game on this forum, but I just had to reply regarding the replayability aspect of the Legend of Grimrock
Just to let you know they are starting to work on a map editor for the game and will be releasing additional dungeons as well. So you can play fan made dungeons and buy official expansions later on. What this means is that the game will have a ton of replay to it
PS> I have already pre-ordered the game and will have a hard time choosing which game to play come tuesday when Beta 3 is released.
I hate random dungeons, I am totalling getting Grimrock. Eye of the Beholder and Dungeon Master II were awesome games among my favorite of all time. Dungeon Master II didn't let you make your own characters, but had some awesome ones like Uggo the mad.
Well it's coming out today.
Legend of Grimrock...
Told my three kids to consider me dead for the evening tonight LOL
I'm ordering pizza and then leave me alone with my new game.... hehe
Yay Grimrock is out now, at least now I have something to keep me busy while we wait for FE Beta 3
Can't wait to get out of work.. 30 minutes to go
Its a great fun for now (2h playtime) and i´m already stuck at 2nd floor. Can´t pass these teleporter and can´t find the 2nd key for that door. Damn it!
Hmm my clock says april 12th 4:55 pm. guess it's not up yet. I'm in EST. Is stardock in Central ? when does their work day end.
Edit: ARG, i just realized my kids set the date ahead one day on the comp - must slay children !!!
You just got trolled by your kids. You should be proud, your life is about to become even more interesting.
(passes Glowing a chainsaw and hockey mask) You know what you have to do.
Where's maaaaah updaaate
It's going to be tight.
Too bad I won't buy Legends of Grimrock on principle. On the principle that the spiders are too scary.
Is it the exact same game as the original?
I saw TotalBiscuit's video on Grimrock and bought the game.
Ignore what I said in post number 32 please.
Now you guys at Stardock had better get into gear. It's already nearly lunch time on the 12th here in Australia and I can't wait.

Analytics have become a major part of political campaigns. President Obama's re-election owes much to a small army of analysts who targeted potential voters and donors in ever narrowing slices, matching messages containing certain styles and emphasis with particular demographic audiences.
One of the most visible applications of analytics in this year's election was the FiveThirtyEight blog, created by Nate Silver, who was a noted baseball sabermetrician best known for creating the Pecota prediction model. Nate's model defied its critics and was exceptionally accurate yet again on Tuesday.
Sports and analytics naturally go together. An abundance of data can serve as a virtual laboratory for learning and testing statistical techniques. If I had to guess, I'd say that most professional analytics experts at one time used sports data to hone their skills. But I think the confidence we can get when modeling relatively simple things, like an N.F.L. game, can lead to overconfidence when applying the same techniques beyond sports.
The real world is much messier than any game. It's an open system of infinite complexities and interactions, and often subject to the fickle whims of human emotion. The confidence we have in understanding and predicting outcomes in games, with their bounded constraints, should not be extrapolated into the untidy realm of the real world. The confidence we gain from modeling relatively simple systems like a sports season can quickly become overconfidence when making, say, economic projections or predictions of sociological trends.
When we analyze sports and other games, we can be relatively certain of our conclusions because they are bounded systems. For example, in football the field is always 100 yards long, there are always 4 downs, regulation time is always 60 minutes, and a touchdown always gives you 6 points with a chance at an extra point (and sometimes 2). My win probability model is complex and flawed enough knowing that those rules are constants. Imagine trying to make a win probability estimate not knowing how long the next game might be, or how many downs each team will have, or how many points each score might be worth.
So even though I'm a believer in sports analytics, I'm on the skeptical side when it comes to making predictions in open, unbounded systems. It's hard to verify the accuracy of real world predictions because they typically don't provide the number of tests. A football season offers 265 games against which to test a model, but do we have the sample sizes we need for evaluating models of recessions, terror attacks or airline crashes?
The one thing I do know is that there are 14 N.F.L. games this weekend, each begging for over-certain probability estimates. Here they are.

THE FANDOM WRITER II is alive and kicking -- and kicking slash/yaoi/gossip Bloggers right in the balls in the process. :BWHAAHWWHWWHAAA: HAPPY FUCKING HALLOWEEN! Horror FUCKING LIVES Here!
"KING KONG AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME MOTHER FUCKER" --- Training Day
The Writings Collected: Volume Two -- my second collection of works ranging from short literary fiction with Gothic undercurrents to full on science fiction. The longer works which were previously chapbooks are availalbe in this volume along with short fiction I wrote from late 2004 into 2006. Norwood's Discovery -- my first novella. Terry Vinson and Rusty Nugent both compared this one to Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It was my first adventure story so to speak. That side of my work my parents exposed me to when they had some of Indiana Jones movies in their collection. I wanted something that my younger sister could read. Halloween On Camera -- a fictional ghost story set in a real haunted place called White's Cemetery on Cuba Road in South Barrington, Illinois. This was the first story to go over the 10K mark. It is also featured in TABLOID PURPOSES II. This one with the novella above is in the second collection.
House of Spiders 3 -- picking up right where House of Spiders leaves off and it is also a sequel to Bite of the Spider in Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror. It is co-written by both myself and Barbara Anna Marjanovic. HARDCORE HORROR! Yes I will say it -- this is as hardcore as Marjanovic or myself get. Barbara pulled no punches on her end with this one, she knows what she's doing -- keep an eye on her with her next book which is available now. I get a hell of a nod in The Balken Secret Conspiracy. I will also make a cameo in The Pratcher's novel The Motel.
DARKENED HORIZONS: ISSUE 3 -- featuring DAMNATION OBSERVES! I close the anthology out and it has a one page ad for Tabloid Purposes IV. The new story is a story akin to the more bizarro authors in there, but doesn't forget about the traditional horror crowd. It breathes a pure insane old school Pacione horror story, the faith vs. madness theme you'd see in FALSE HEALER and 144,000. TABLOID PURPOSES IV> -- you've seen this coming all summer of 2007, it was whispered rumors of it when I finished Tabloid Purposes 3 and it was unleashed at Gothicfest 2007. Featuring stories by Casey Gordon, S.G. Cardin, Terry Lloyd Vinson, Ken Goldman, Brian W. Keen, and others. This is as close as some get to seeing an AuthorsDen horror anthology but there will be an AuthorsDen anthology planned (the guidelines will be just as strict as Tabloid Purposes.)
I am influenced by H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, friend and author J.M. Barlog, friend and author Terry Lloyd Vinson (between him and Joni, I became a print published author for the very first time) and Algernon Blackood just as a horror writer. I've been toying around with the idea of writing Science Fiction in recent years and you can read some of my Science Fiction entires on either FictionPress.com. I am equally influenced by H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, Jules Verne, and Isaac Asimov. But predonimately I write Gothic Horror and a little bit of a bad boy, as Fred Wiehe coined me -- a renegade. I was born in 1976 and raised around Richard Matheson's work being aired on the small screen. Twilight Zone: The Movie I use to watch with my mother on cable when we first got cable in the house. My first exposures to horror were H.P. Lovecraft and Richard Matheson. I didn't start reading Matheson's work until after I was published after an interviewer compared my catalog on the now defunct diary-x presence to Matheson and friend, author John Paul Allen. My family thought Richard Matheson was just safe enough for me but when I read Stir of Echoes, that changed the way I wrote horror forever. I still write Lovecraftian horror but now I mix a lot of Matheson elements into it. I am drawn to what is called the Blue Collar Gothic. I write horror with a tenacity that is seen in some of the more extreme forms of heavy metal -- picture of someone who plays death metal couldn't find the personnel to form a band,. They have so many elaborate concepts and ideas in them so they crossover into writing Gothic Horror, but they take that death metal intensity with them. I also will write science fiction from tie time time. It all started with Lake Fossil and it snowballed from there -- House of Spiders and Bite of the Spider got my foot in the door. I've been published since 1997 online but in print since 2004 -- my first story got picked up by EbooksOnDisk.com in an anthology called Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror (Terry Vinson gave me the lead on this one.) My styles as a science fiction are a little more akin to Jules Verne but when I do the cyberpunk style it is similar to if Jules Verne was writing Blade Runner. I've been writing horror, horror movie reviews, and creative non-fiction since 1990, but I've been doing science fictoin for less than a few years. As recently as 2007 I became a heavy metal reviewer, the core reviews are in the home grown as Scott Davidson coins it. I love the term so how I describe my brand of horror. I'm rookie in the Science Fiction genre. I've been writing science fiction since 2004, half-joking with Nicholas S. Stember about which was easier to write. Out of that Lake Fossil is born -- that story actually sequels going for it. I allow fan fiction from Lake Fossil, but one condition, it's only alllowed in my magazine and my magazine only. I've also been publishing my own magazine too via an imprint I started on Lulu.com since doing Tabloid Purposes. I've been published internationally on Insomnia Magazine *July/August 2006* and that story is going to be reprinted twice in two more magazines stateside (now published nationally in New Mexico, and yet to be published locally.) Lately I've learned a new trick in combining Horror and Science Fiction in one story, then I've been doing creative nonfiction stories that are scarier than my fictional counterparts in horror. I showcased some of the most talented writers in the small press so far -- and featured a lot of new writers in the years that I've been online. I'm published the first issue of WitherSin Magazine with a true ghost story. I did live with two room mates who are both history buffs so living around a lot of antiques I am bound to get some inspiration from it. I sold work to Tales of the Talisman, HorrorMasters.com (if you're looking for LAKE FOSSIL 2, it's reprinted in my second issue of The Ethereal Gazette.. Dave called this one tempting) Withersin Magazine and the famed Naked Snake Press. I was slated in Haunted Times Magazine too, the May 2007 issue with Observations Of An Abandoned Seminary. I write horror predomiantely and true life dark stuff too. I don't fuck around with erotic scenes in horror, I like my horror to kick the reader in the head as they're reading it with the dark ideological subject matter or subject matter dealing with mental illlness. I credit a lot of my writing style in the horror genre to heavy metal music, and Anthony Nichols of Meliah Rage actually wished me the best of luck with the Horror when they sent me the video for Undefeated and Barely Human (thanx man, good luck with Meliah Rage.) I've been on AuthorsDen since 2002, and happy to call the Den my home -- and it became a welcomed extension to WRITINGS FROM THE GRAVE in many ways. I had my main website is teenager so to spea that lauched on May 16, 1997 on tripod. I actually have that site still over there, but it actually got too big for what tripod. Don't get me wrong, tripod been good to me over the years. Horror with the same kind of intensity you'd see with the death metal movement -- what I want to do with my work is inspire the next wave of thrash or death metal bands. What author do I compare House of Spiders 3 to -- oh shit, Barbara Marjanovic cites Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, I cite H.P. Lovecraft and Richard Matheson -- picture the four of them coming together and collaborating, you got House of Spiders 3. CTHULHU MYTHOS meets DRACULA! I am part of that club known as the "signed in blood" club because I did sign a few copies of the first collection using my blood. Barbara Marjanovic and Terry Vinson can be both seen with their stories in the third sequel and the Tabloid Purposes anthologies. I honored to have Joseph Armstead for taking the time to do the introduction of the book because we've been following each other's respective careers ince In a nutshell is the literary equal to a semi-truck slamming into an SUV at 200 mph. I was trying to do an interview with both of them because emerged around the same time. When read the story Good Riddence by Barb, I knew that I wanted to collaborate with her -- gave her the first sale of a novella. She tested out my docuhorror approach along with my respective fictional ghost stories (this is one of my staples as well as writing Lovecraftial Horror. I am working on a sequel to my notorious short story. And a novella that's even more notorious than The Fandom Writer.) I might be the most bleeped author on here because I use vulgarity in my work especially when I write horror -- vulgarity and horror go hand in hand, and yes I will say FUCK every now and then. I like to keep it motherfucking BRUTAL, and find it fun to piss the reader off every now and then. When they get angry at a story -- I point them over to my facebook and tell them to look at the photograph for a long time see what the picture is telling them. That picture I can't throw up on here because this is a family site -- horror is about how many people you can scare and how many you can give the finger in the process of writing the damn story. So fuck you Element of Style, fuck you to hell. The Element of Style doesn't teach people how to write a good horror story -- so I give Shrunk and White's the midddle finger. Some of what I write some people respond like I just gave them the bird. You want to learn how to write horror, read DANSE MACABRE by Stephen King and read Lovecraft's work. That's something you pick up on your own -- and have a lot of heavy metal blasting for the death scenes, especially Doom Metal. I am coined the HEAVY METAL AUTHOR by Mykil of Withering Soul. I am also a freelance heavy metal vocalst, and what makes what I do unique in the horror genre is that I am a Christian and a notorious Conservative (I try to keep my politics out of horror but there is one story I have a pro-life delivery in a Gothic Horror yarn.) I am recognized among the Cthulhu Mythos circels and recently the 2012 circles because of my notorious novella, The Storms Of Armageddon. The controversial scene in that one is that I detroy San Fransisco in a Tsunami. That doesn't fly too well among certain circles, well fuck them if they get offended. Yeah I am not shy when it comes to writing controversial stuff, I am faith based but I like to give Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Pahaniuk a run for their money. I know who they are but I am not influenced by them. I am capable of doing transgressive horror when needed. I give certain trends the finger when I write horror, my facebook picture is from a night I hosted in 2008. That same night is where I got my coin -- I am influenced by the masters in the early 20th Century. I am going to hit hard and hit fast when needed -- I take pride in being a bit of a caveman but if I was a pussy, it wouldn't work for me when it comes to writing the extremely dark shit. I don't write with sexual content so I go double duty with other sensitive matter in my brand of Extreme Gothic Horror. Some of you might remember the time frame of 2002-2003, I embeded an Mp3 of Empyrean Sky's Vulture eys. I will sometimes do this from time to time, because I want AuthorsDen.com to rock the place. I've been here from quite some time -- I am usually haunting the horror genre on here (that's where all the fun is. Matt may I goth up the horror section.)
Featuring the Gothic Horror story Media Darling in an alternate edit from the original Pacione wrote in 2008.
WRITINGS FROM THE GRAVE After a long hiatus I reactivated this website and gave an even uglier attitude. The new site has a reading room featuring some my ugliest horror stories in my career including the most notorious one. Everyone who's followed me around all these years will know what that one is. THE FANDOM WRITER! (Shit I am going to get a few people pissed with me now for wanting to link this abrasive son of a bitch. Who cares it's my favorite story I've ever written. ::laughing:: It was on the Den in one incarnation.) I have redid the reading room with links to a magazine I got published in on a semi-professional level back in the spring of 2007. The story was written when I was living at the apartment in Justice. This site's been around longer than AuthorsDen.com -- I am bit of a web pioneer. Some of you might remember when I actually Goth'd my AuthorsDen page out in 2002 (yeah my den site was originally as black as Writings From The Grave. If some of you remember when AuthorsDen allowed the cool shit like that you know what I am talking about. I had Empyrean Sky's Vulture Eyes blasting from the profile.) I actually had the cool black background and all that fun shit. I am one the dark princes of AuthorsDen for the longest time until Steve Rage came in the picture, but seeing him raise hell on here it's got me smiling a little bit. If you are not used to Gothic Horror, then you might not be prepared for what I have on this website. Welcome to the site where the horror reflects the dirty black winters of the Midwest. I maintain and write all the HTML myself with this website, so if you see a typo -- I don't want to hear it because I write all this shit out on notepad. So you won't find some lame wordpress.com or blog.com *fuck em both, assholes* layout skeletons used to create a website. I find that shit a fucking copout when it comes to doing a website, if you're going to maintain a website do it from scratch. I designed this bad boy originally in 1997 when I was just 20 years old. Warning: DARK SUBJECT MATTER! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

I am one the dark princes of AuthorsDen for the longest time until Steve Rage came in the picture, but seeing him raise hell on here it's got me smiling a little bit. If you are not used to Gothic Horror, then you might not be prepared for what I have on this website. Welcome to the site where the horror reflects the dirty black winters of the Midwest. I maintain and write all the HTML myself with this website, so if you see a typo -- I don't want to hear it because I write all this shit out on notepad. So you won't find some lame wordpress.com or blog.com *fuck em both, assholes* layout skeletons used to create a website. I find that shit a fucking copout when it comes to doing a website, if you're going to maintain a website do it from scratch. I designed this bad boy originally in 1997 when I was just 20 years old. Warning: DARK SUBJECT MATTER! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
The home of TABLOID PURPOSES and The Ethereal Gazette, my imprint I established in 2004 just as I was getting ready for my class reunion (I took some my promotional photos here.) In other words welcome to my lulu.com storefront. If you want to buy some of the books mentioned on authorsden you can come here and get them. I am offering some of them signed here and if I can't get signed copies you can always get them here on lulu.com. This is my imprint. If you want the namesake anthology, drop me a link and you will get a direct link where you can grab it. Pay no mind to the book burner on Deviantart.com; I am the owner and propietor of this imprint. As some would claim, I never took a loan out on the imprint -- I never lost the company, just some troll on a devianatart.com page is making a mockery of the magazine and offering pirated copies of an unfinished novella. I will have a domain coming soon -- just waiting for the e-mail saying the account is created (I teamed up with old friends at Brinkster.com, they were my site host from 2000 to 2004 before the went paid. I am constructing the office site as I speak, well one is set up for Tabloid Purposes so you can grab the fifth book from here. This would be where you can get the 2008 revision of Tabloid Purposes IV. Screw SNM Horror and his crusade against Lulu.com, support the small press and buy the dead tree format.) I will be behind the domain lakefossilpress.org because one joker created an account with .info and .net with an unhealthy fascination with a girl toy from Hasbro from the 1980s.
Working on new short fiction and editing the magazine, I am featured with a non-fiction story on Withersin Magazine (the first issue is online as a pdf file.) Constantly editing anthologies of horror fiction and sometimes non-fiction. I'm working at booking a metal show on Halloween Weekend 2010 and planning a new metal publication to fill the gap of Metal Maniacs and Pit when they both folded -- keep an eye on this page for more details. I will continue to run The Ethereal Gazette, just I want something for the metal scene to have to help get bands promoted ans such. I recently redid my main website go take a look around. Just recently released the newest issue of The Ethereal Gazette, and reprinted the story that got me published in a wider distribution called APT #2W -- I have the GLs together for the second local author issue of the magazine and the deadline is extended to when filled (so if you're a local author shoot me a message and I will give you more details.) Go to the link for Lake Fossil Press and scroll down to Ethereal Gazette: Issue 10. The AuthorsDen anthology GLs are posted -- can you keep up? I am trying to go darker than the first five Tabloid Purposes combined then planning the sixth and seventh books (The Gemini Brothers -- some people might not get the brothers joke unless they're referring to Metallica's Load and Re-Load.) I am taking submissions for Issue 11 (the second local author edition, and working on a special novella for this issue. The novella is DARKER than all my works combined and darker than some other horror writers who do the blackened horror style.) I am putting together my third collection but I am not going to unleah the name of the collection just yet. It will contain my novella When Angels Wept Blood as well as some fan favorites from Writings From The Grave over going back as 1997-1998. This collection is going to take stories from all my eras -- rewrote one story called A Dark Place and putting in Misguidance along with the story that became The Pattern of Diagnosis. My 12th Issue of the magazine is available for purchase and if you want to read a brand new story in there, you got it with The Midnight Diner. If you see someone by the name of horrorgal promoting e-piracy of Faraday's entry in the magazine get her removed from AuthorsDen.com. I also have a 3rd collection in the works featuring stories of my online and print careers combined. Some of the 2004 era stories were expanded, and including some exclusives for the book. One of them almost got published, but the caved in to asshole pressure. Aside from having Writings From The Grave updated from time to time, you can find some freebies here which I re-connected with the crew of Diary-X under codexed -- http://np1976.codexed.com. I am prepping a book I did about my horror stories dealing with social media, that should be coming to lulu.com soon waiting for the introduction and doing the layouts for the thing.

Models Own have teamed up with the glamorous clubbing brand Hed Kandi, the new collection is inspired by the part capital of the world - Ibiza! The collection is full of lively vibrant colours, and colourful glitters, they have created three of the brightest shades to be launched by Models Own. I haven't tried many Models Own shades, I am a big fan of their glitter polishes, so this was my first time using their glitter free colours. The formula is going strong no chips to report on day 4, high gloss and it only took two coats to get a complete opaque finish (though you could get away with one).
I chose two shades to try from the collection, the gorgeous neon coral and the multi-coloured glitter, both lovely shades. On the left, Ibiza Mix HK04 and on the right, Hedonist HK05. As much as I wanted to coat all my nails in Ibiza Mix, getting glitter nail polish off is a pain, so I opted for Ibiz Mix on my ring finger and Hedonist on the rest. The end result is perfect so dancing the summer nights away.
Will you be picking up any of the Hed Kandi colours? Let me know your top picks from Models Own, I'd love to hear your thoughts on colours I should check out.

West Nile Virus: Preventing Mosquito Bites
Muggy weather brings out more mosquitoes this week.
Mosquitoes are out in force as hot temperatures and muggy weather plague Northern Virginia this week. Pools of water from rainfall the past few days are breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
One person in Maryland died from West Nile Virus, officials confirmed last week, in the state's first death from the virus reported this year.
Virginia officials report four cases of West Nile Virus in the state, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, including one in Northern Virginia.
West Nile Virus cases are up 40 percent nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Mosquitoes get the virus from feeding on infected birds and spread it to people they bite. Symptoms include fever, headache and body aches, and most people get better in a few days.
Fairfax County Health officials offer the following tips to limit contact with mosquitos.
- "Tip and toss" containers with standing water. Mosquitos breed in a teaspoon or more of water that doesn't circulate or evaporate. This means water remaining in birdbaths, tarps, wading pools, potted plants and other common items found on household property should be dumped out.
- Clean out gutters and downspout screens to keep water from collecting.
- Treat corrugated plastic drainpipes connected to building downspouts with mosquito larvicide.
- Wear loose long-sleeves and pants and use insect repellant to deter bites.
Fairfax County prepared a video (above) with the county's Dr. Jorge Arias, a medical entomologist, to explain West Nile Virus and how to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes.

I think this may be an explanation;
Targets are approx. the size of a tennis ball (standing shot) and a table tennis ball (prone shot)Immediately after a hit is scored, the target is automatically covered by a white indicator disk so competitors know the result from a distance. A penalty is given for each missed shot.

So can this include the videos that you see in the video section that HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HELP PORTRAIT?? I mean I don't want to watch videos of someone else performing songs or some group that does silent auctions. There are quite a few videos that have not one thing to do with Help-Portrait. Everyone who has some kind of agenda or another charity want to post their videos,etc.
....may be time to revisit this task ;-)

Busing Students | Video
Kristin Clouston | 1/29/2013Parents may not have been able to change the board`s mind about school boundaries, but are asking it to please address school bussing.
"On the way home from Rita Murphy to their home on Shoal Drive for an hour and 30 minutes. That`s like driving to Jamestown every single day. We drive by Sunrise, we also drive sort of close to Miller and I just feel as if the buses are so over-crowded the way they are. My 115 pound little boy has to sit on a bus, three to a seat, for an hour and a half," said parent Dara Lein.
BPS Transportation Director Darin Scherr says he understands the parent`s concerns. "Those upper grades and elementary school. They`re getting to a size where maybe three to a seat is not do-able. What that means is additional resources, so we`ll take a look at that too, and we`ll put that in front of the board. If we want to shorten up bus routes, if we want to put less kids on the bus, is to add more buses. If that means adding 10 more that`s a third of our fleet."
He plans to address the bussing issues at the next school board meeting.
"Our goal is to take all of those and put them in front of the board and some of them have some cost implications, to see what we need to do with the students. Historically we haven`t done transportation for high school students in the city. But does that change now with the freshmen and likely it will, but that;s going to add some cost to it."
He says his department has been working on the issue for a while and is also having a formal study done on the best ways to bus students.
If you don`t want your child bussed across town you can put in for a transfer to a closer school, just know transfers won`t get to ride the bus.

A highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth at the electronica trade fair in Munich, Germany is the new R&S ESR EMI test receiver. Thanks to its broadband architecture, it performs standard-compliant disturbance measurements up to 6000 times faster than other solutions.
At European Microwave Week in Amsterdam (hall 3, booths 115/216), Rohde & Schwarz will present highlights from its test and measurement products for microwave applications. In addition, experts from Rohde & Schwarz will impart their expertise to attendees of nine workshops and seminars covering various microwave applications.
The Rohde & Schwarz ETC mid-range, multistandard TV analyzer supports the ISDB-T, DVB-T and DVB-T2 digital terrestrial standards.
Rohde & Schwarz offers manufacturers of mobile devices and consumer electronics two universal test platforms: the R&S CMW500 and the R&S CMW270. The R&S CMW500 covers all common cellular and non-cellular standards, while the R&S CMW270 has been customized for non-cellular standards. New options now provide additional WLAN signaling functions.
When network operators upgrade to LTE they want to take full advantage of their new and existing resources, so to support this objective, Rohde & Schwarz has added MIMO-specific measurements to its R&S ROMES4.65 drive test software. Using this feature, the R&S TSMW network scanner can quickly identify interferers that reduce MIMO performance in LTE networks.

Truck owners know that after horsepower and torque, a truck's body strength is its most important feature, which is why Ford has given the 2012 Super Duty the stiffest chassis the company has ever produced. Featuring fully boxed front frame rails, and thick C-channel frame rails and crossmembers, the Super Duty's rigid frame helps it avoid flexing and twisting as well as improving towing ability.

"I've had this F250 for almost 3 years and have been very happy with its performance, style and comfort. The only problem is some wind noise that the dealer has not been able to resolve but is still working on. I bought this truck hoping it would be the last truck I ever buy (I'm 63 and have been buying a new F150 every 3 to 5 years) and I believe it will outlast me. It has met every expectation and more. The fuel mileage is exceptional for such a big truck (18 mpg average)."

Nineteen Northeastern Technical College students made a pledge to the nursing profession on Thursday, December 13, during the practical nursing pinning ceremony held at the college's main campus in Cheraw.
This was the 20th class to graduate the practical nursing program and one of the largest groups to complete the 12-month program since its inception in 1993.
The nursing students were recognized before family members, friends and college administrators for successfully completing the rigorous program that prepares them to take the National Council Licensure Examination in order to become licensed practical nurses.
Two students were recognized for their achievements in the nursing program. Kaylee Bowman of Chesterfield received the Practical Nursing Academic Excellence Award for having the highest grade point average and showing determination, dedication and perseverance. Trikenna Ratliff of Cheraw received the Jean L. Harris Award for Outstanding Clinical Performance for exemplifying "the total nurse" by showing an abundance of compassion and having superior clinical skills.
Class president Kristy Sellers of Chesterfield shared with the audience the experience of being a nursing student, which included many long weekends of studying, pop quizzes and early morning clinicals. However, Sellers said, because of the demanding program and its excellent instructors, she and her classmates are well equipped to be knowledgeable and caring nurses.
"We appreciate all the support our nursing instructors, Pam King and Cheryl Douglass, have given us this year and we thank them for sharing their individual experience to help make us great nurses," Sellers said. "Thank you, NETC, for providing us with such a great program and wonderful instructors to help lead us to our career."
It is a tradition for practical nursing students to choose a speaker for their pinning ceremony who made a memorable contribution to their education. This year, the students chose Vandy Teal-Surratt, a registered nurse from Palmetto Family Medicine who has served as a clinical instructor for NETC for many years. She offered words of wisdom to the graduating class as they begin their journey in the nursing profession.
"Please remember to never stop learning. It will protect you and your patients. Always give compassion to those in need, even if they don't think they need it," Teal-Surratt said. "Above all, please show that you care for others. Sometimes it is not the medicine that helps patients the most, but the love they feel around them."
During the pinning ceremony, each student wears the traditional white nursing uniform and is formally presented with a specially designed NETC nursing pin and a symbolic lamp.
Class vice president Christie Moore of Chesterfield explained the meaning of each symbol and told the story of Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of modern nursing, before she and her classmates recited the Nightingale Pledge and performed a ceremonial lighting of their lamps.
Nursing students Netalya Crosby and Sadie Zimmerman sang "Still Holding On" by Luther Barnes during the ceremony, and the Rev. Mike Rouse of Main Street Methodist Church in Dillon gave the invocation.
Heath Milligan, dean of instruction for NETC, provided the welcoming remarks and thanked friends and family members who provided encouragement and support for those going through the practical nursing program. Milligan also formally presented the practical nursing class of 2012 to the audience at the closing of the ceremony.
Practical nursing graduates included Kaylee Bowman of Chesterfield, Lisa Butler of Wallace, Netalya Crosby of Latta, Heather Davis of Pageland, Pamela Depugh of Florence, Stephanie Edmond of Pageland, Melanie Grant of Jefferson, Marlene Grier of Bennettsville, Tiffini Harrington of Cheraw, Rachael Kelley of Hartsville, Christie Moore of Chesterfield, Wyniquea Moore of Bennettsville, Eve Price of Bennettsville, Trikenna Ratliff of Cheraw, Tabitha Scott of Chesterfield, Courtney Sellers of Chesterfield, Kristy Sellers of Chesterfield, Pamela Williams of Bennettsville and Sadie Zimmerman of Dillon.

RALEIGH — The varsity Dark Horses, playing in their second game of the High School OT Holiday Tournament, fell to powerful 4A Apex Friday 58-34, but coach Randy Jordan noted there was a silver lining, despite the loss.
As he did earlier in the week when the Horses went toe-to-toe with 3A Oxford Webb, another powerhouse high school team with one starter already committed to play at UNC, Jordan pointed to the experience his Clinton team has garnered from two days of play against much larger teams.
"The time we have spent up here competing with these teams will pay real dividends for us down the road and in the conference. I'm very proud of the kids for coming up here and participating."
Jordan called the experience "program-building," noting the significance of such tournaments isn't just about winning but about the lessons garnered.
"It is, without question, a great learning experience. What we bring back with us from this tournament will help us be even more competitive as we get deeper into conference play."
The four-day holiday tournament, held at Broughton High School in Raleigh, brings 20 high schools from across the U.S. to play against one another. Teams come from as far away as Texas, New Hampshire and New Jersey to compete.
Clinton played Wednesday against Oxford Webb, falling to the 3A team 88-58. They played again Friday morning, falling to 4A Apex.
The score, Jordan said, was knotted at 20 going into the half, but Clinton couldn't find solid footing in the final two periods.
58-34 versus Apex High School in the High School Holiday OT
"We had 30 turnovers for the game. It's tough to score when you're turning over the ball. We just didn't have a good second half," the Clinton coach pointed out."
But Jordan was quick to offer his praise to his team and the Dark Horse supporters who made the trek from Clinton to Raleigh to cheer them on for two days.
"I'm very proud of these kids for coming up here and playing. The effort was there in both games, and I can't stress it enough this will do them a lot of good down the road."
Jordan also tipped his hat to parents and Clinton fans. "I really, really appreciate the support we had at this tournament. We had good numbers at both games, and I'm very pleased and thankful for their support," Jordan said.
The Dark Horses, 7-1 overall this season and 1-0 in the 2A conference, return to season play Wednesday, Jan. 2, when they travel to Croatan.
Individually in Friday's game, Shian Bradshaw had 9 points; Thaxton Spruill, 8 points, 10 rebounds; Ryan Chester, 6; Demontio Bryant, 5 points, 5 rebounds.

How are FASDs prevented?
Vermont Departament of Health Launches "049" Campaign
Report reveals special challenges of pregnant teens in substance abuse treatment
"Stop and think. If you're pregnant, don't drink."
en Español
Welcome to the SAMHSA Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Center for Excellence Web site. The FASD Center is a Federal initiative devoted to preventing and treating FASD. This Web site provides information and resources about FASD. We also provide materials you can use to raise awareness about FASD. Additionally, The Center is dedicated to providing training, technical assistance, and conference/event speakers.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects can include physical problems and problems with behavior and learning. Often, a person with an FASD has a mix of these problems.
The term FASD is not meant for use as a clinical diagnosis, but rather to refer to the range of effects that can happen to a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These conditions can affect each person in different ways, and can range from mild to severe.
FASDs are caused by a woman drinking alcohol during pregnancy. There is no known amount of alcohol that is safe to drink while pregnant. There is also no safe time to drink during pregnancy and no safe kind of alcohol to drink while pregnant. To prevent FASD, a woman should not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, or when becoming pregnant is possible. This is because a woman can get pregnant and not know for several weeks or more (half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned).
Different terms are used to describe FASD, depending on the symptoms.
The term fetal alcohol effects (FAE) was previously used to describe intellectual disabilities and problems with behavior and learning in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. In 1996, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) replaced FAE with ARND and ARBD.
Each year in the United States, an estimated 40,000 babies are born with an FASD, making these disorders more common than new diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010), and a leading preventable cause of intellectual disabilities (Abel & Sokol, 1987). Recent in-school studies suggest that cases of FASD among live births in the U.S., previously reported as approximately 9 per 1,000 (Sampson et al., 1997) could, in reality, be closer to 50 per 1,000 (May, 2009). In addition, recent retrospective analyses of hospital admissions data indicate that under-reporting of alcohol misuse or harm by women may further disguise true prevalence rates (Morleo et al., 2011).
The cost factor of raising a child with an FASD is significant. Amendah and colleagues (2011) found that, for a child with identified FAS, incurred health costs were nine times higher than for children without an FASD. Lupton and colleagues (2004) have estimated the lifetime cost of caring for a person with FAS to be at least $2 million, and the overall annual cost of FASD to the U.S. healthcare system to be more than $6 billion.

This week under the Gold Dome, the Georgia General Assembly (GGA) completed the first four days of our annual 40 day session. With thirty-six legislative session days remaining, we are just beginning our job of representing our districts, our citizens, and our state. Officially, all members of the legislature were sworn in this week, our leaders for each chamber were elected, and committees were assigned to each legislator. This week in the House chamber, we welcomed Gov. Nathan Deal as he delivered the State of the State address, laying out his priorities for our State and the upcoming Fiscal Year 2014 budget recommendations.
Monday, the first day of this legislative session, began with a prayer and all members, new and old, were sworn in to uphold the Constitution of Georgia and the United States. Speaker David Ralston and Speaker Pro-Tempore Jan Jones were re-elected to their respective leadership positions as well. Also this week, all members of the legislature received their new committee assignments. This is an integral part of the law-making process given that the majority of debate on bills occurs in committees and sub-committees, before ever reaching the floor of the House or Senate. Then, once the bill passes one chamber, it crosses over and goes through the same process again. This detailed process helps to ensure the bills which become our laws in Georgia, are adequately vetted before final passage and signature by the Governor.
I was greatly honored to be named Chairman of the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee. This committee is responsible for drawing the boundaries of Georgia's State House, State Senate, and U.S. House districts, based on population data from the latest decennial U.S. Census. I thank Speaker Ralston and the Committee on Assignments for their confidence in me and look forward to this new challenge. I will also serve as Secretary of the Banks and Banking Committee and member of Higher Education Sub-Committee of Appropriations, Economic Development and Tourism, and Natural Resources and Environment.
On Wednesday, Gov. Deal addressed a Joint Session (House and Senate) and discussed his priorities and recommendations for both the Amended Fiscal Year 2013 and the Fiscal Year 2014 budgets. The governor's proposed budget for FY 2014 is $19.8 billion. Governor Deal stated, "we will move forward with confidence, focusing on the proven foundations of a growing Georgia, those that keep us steady during times of uncertainty but also during times of prosperity; foremost among these are public safety, education, healthcare and economic development."
The General Assembly will not officially be in session from January 21st through the 25th; however, many members, myself included, will be actively participating in Joint Budget Hearings at the Capitol. The purpose of these hearings is to review the Governor's budget proposals with State Agencies and discussing the impact the Governor's recommendations will have on their Departments. The official Budget Appropriations Act for FY 2014 will begin in the House of Representatives and will be reviewed, amended, and sent to the Senate to follow the similar process.
On Monday, Jan. 28th, the Georgia General Assembly will continue day five of the 2013 Legislative Session. Please contact me with your ideas and opinions or if I can be of service to you in anyway. It is your input and common sense ideas that develop into the best legislation and potentially becomes the laws of our State. If you would like to reach me, please call me at (404) 656-5087 or write to me at: State Rep. Randy Nix, 18 Capitol Square, Suite 402 CLOB State Capitol, Atlanta, GA 30334 or e-mail me at email@example.com.

I've come across some abandoned places in my time (Pripyat, Ukraine being one of them) and there are tons of places that are abandoned and would give an excellent post apocalyptic feel to them. I'd like to push out a list of places that would be great for filming. PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST!
Near New Orleans - Abandoned Six Flags Jazzland amusement park
Centralia, PA - An abandoned coal mining down due to underground fires
Near NYC - Abandoned Luxury Resort In The Catskills
Pripyat, Ukraine - Next to Chernobyl (See my pics for this one)
There are tons more, especially in old cities with old districts. I know Detroit, Chicago, and NYC all have old places that are abandoned. Well worth the stroll if you can dodge the bums and squatters. ;)
Actually there's a great city called Gary, Indiana. Used to be major heavy industry but now has nothing and the population has dropped by sixty percent. Whole complexes, churches, theaters, are abandoned. You can check it out on a lot of urban explorer websites.
Oh wow man Centralia is actually pretty close to me. Maybe if Im not busy i can go down there somtime. Thanks for posting this cause I probaly would have never knew about this place.
if i can only have ONE of these even remotely close by.......

The Collapsing Universe in the Bible
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
In this paper, Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise when they learn of anyone teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. Keller offers some ideas on how to provide responses that take these concerns seriously.
Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
