THSJIASSAU POST, FREEPORT, H. T., FKIDAT, JAlStJAXT 28, 1916. flfl Saving Twenty-five flours a Day For New York City's Telephone Users it ^ ^ ilT>»i ^tfWl^^ [ ¦ 1 i ! pi i3 TESTING THE LEGIBILITY OF SAMPLE DIRECTORY PAGES . The man seated at right of picture is calling names of subscril>6rB, and the man seated opposite ia looking up telephone numbers, while the girl ia keeping time with a stop-watch. Tbe Telephone Keview, N. Y.,' fixih- Ilshes a detailed uccount of the steps whicb were taken tu make possible the improvements In the new telephone directory for .New York City. Nearly two years were spent in study and ex¬ periment to determine scientifically what type, method of arrangement, and spacing would be^ facilitate the use of tlie directory. The story of what seemingly minor changes wili aeeomiilish is amazing. The current l.ssue of the New York City Telepiione Directory saves twen¬ ty-flve hours a day for the telophono users In the mctror>olls. A number can be found In this book in 1.08 seconds less tban was possible in the preceding directory, and this saving on each of tbe 2,0011.(100 daily consultations the book receives adds twenty-flve hours every day to Kew Vork City's valuable time. The telephone Company not only baa increased the l("-,'iliilily of liu- biggeat book of its kind in tlie world, by more than 10 Jier cent.. Imt at the same time it h&s increased lhe amnunl of infor¬ mation tile (llie<tor.\ i-onialns and yet reduced its wei;:lit li\ iimre than half a pound. There are L'il jut rent, less pages to Illi'll to llllli a name: ;>0 per cent, less ilislaii«-e tor ilie eye lo travel 4n followlni.' a lisiini,' from the begin¬ ning of tiie name Id the leleplioiie num¬ ber, and 'JO i>er <eni. less patres to elec- trotyiH! and print, which means iiuick¬ er delivery of inmiileteil edit inns nfter thc forms close iC rorms close. .^v..vjv.iv.v.. .........v.^ ^—v^ «^v.""v..^. The paKcs of tbe present directory 1«B« ^'i" «et in four-column measure nnd leaded very slightly between tbe lines of type so that there were 11 lines of type to the inch Instead of 12 are arriiiit;ed In four columns aiui print¬ ed with a new tyi>e face. wl»icb is slightly coniiiresscd horizontally rather than vertically. The space between the lines is increased. The book is bound by a lu-w proceaa which permits it to lie perfiH'tly liat no mutter wbere opened, and the "Job" is topi>ed off by a new and nif>re artistic cover design drawn by Mr. T. M. Cleland. The committee of teleiihone men working on the iiuestion of improving the directory recogiiizetl that the prob¬ lem was pressing- .Between 30,000and 40,0(X) listings are added annually to the New York City directory and by the time Its May, 1915, issue apix-ared, tho book Would not only be large for subscribers to handle but ulso too bulky to be biiiind by wire stitching as formerly. To reduce the bulk of tiie book, therefore, bei'ame a (juestion either of using thiimer paper or of revising the typograpiiical arrangements so as to accommodnte more listings on encb page. The use of a thinner paper would Ik? a temporary csiiedlent, for even with the thinnest paper practica¬ ble the book would be of the same bulk as the May. i!ll5. Issue at thc end of a throe-year jieriotl. It was inadvisable to reduce the size of type used, but It was found tliat the type could be compressed horizon¬ tally to afford a very material gain in space. This made possible the four column page. Tests were then made for legibility, twenty-four "Information" operators tieing used as subjects. Tests along broader lines were desired, however, and Dr. J. W. Baird, Director of the Psycholog¬ ical Laboratory at Ciark Univer¬ sity. Worceater, .Mass., was called in. Dr. Baird ia an expert on the psychology of optics and printing. He made neariy 4,000 experiments, using 32 men and women as subjects. The.se individuals represented radically dif¬ ferent occupations, different experience in the use of the telephone dlrectoi7 nnd different conditions of eyesight Varying amounts of natural and artill- clal Illumination were included in the tests so as to approximate the actual conditions under which tho directoi-j' is ordinarily consulted. '' No arrangement of pages profited more than another by the practice ne quired by nny subject during the course of the experiments- To find a numl)er on a page from the oid directory set in three-column meas¬ ure reqnlred an average time of 10.3(1 seconds. To flnd a number on the four-column page which was flnally selected required 9.28 seconds. Thi: aa in the old directory. The gain in legibility is probably greater than the 1.08 seconds per aver¬ age reading or allghtly more than 10 per cent. The studies made by the committee covered not ouly the New York City directory but also the local and divi¬ sion tolephono books which the Com¬ pany issues throughout its territory and in every case where conditions warranted, the results of the experi¬ mental %vork on the Ncw York City di¬ rectory were applied to other booka. The telephone company each yenr pub¬ lishes about 4,000,000 telephone direc¬ tories, and tho beneflt of the improve¬ menta made In the form of supplying telepbone Informntlon is spread out over a wide territory. Associate telephone companies are making good use of the studies made by tbe Now York Telephone Company and the general comment from tele¬ phone aubserlliers shows that the Company's endeavor to supply them with telephone Information in a more readable and more convenient form is not unappreciated. ONE WAY OF STARVING. What is the need for exercise V How does the food we ent actually renew the tissues of the body'/ The nourish¬ ing elementa iu our food are taken out by the digestive organs, nnd the blood, passing through the walls of tiiese or¬ gans, takes up the food eloments.- Then the liiood. thus enriched, courses throughout the flbera nnd tissues of the body, and encb takes whnt it needs of the food supply and oxygen. The blood cnnnot reach every part of the body, if it isn't giveu nn im¬ pulse by exercise. Tbe heart beats, and gives thc blood a good start, but exercise must auiipleineiit the work of the heart nnd the valves In the arteries. If thc blood is going to do its work of taking food and energy-producing oxy¬ gen, to liruin und hand nnd eye. It Isn't to improve un nature's plan tbat exercise is neL-essary. Exercise ia a part of the idaii. It is na far from accidental and ns tnily an element in the mechanism provided for the cir¬ culation uf the blood as the heart, or the valves which close automatically to prevent the blood from going the wrong way. The heart and valves are Involuntary, ao we are relieved of re¬ sponsibility for tbem, but exercise Is a means of keeping the blood In prop¬ er circulation wblch rests with us. If we think that eatlug a good meal three times a day means tbat we are proper¬ ly fed, we ought to remember that un¬ less the blood is made to carry nour- Isbment to every corner, the food Is doing only a part of Its work. If we are uot exercising enough, the chances are we are starving!—The Telepbone Review. N. Y. Cl JUST DOGS. The Teiephoue Review, the employ¬ ees piBgnzine of the New York Tele¬ phone Company, In emphasizing the Importance of politeness and courtesy In all dealings, tells the following sto¬ ry, the point of which applies to tele¬ phone users as much as to those who put thc telephone service nt our dis¬ posal : Two dogs come to our house every day to visit our Irish terrier. He has been trained to stay around the lot. and so when they want his society they have to make the call. One of them is a splendid specimen of English builship, who lords It over the other two. as If by right and never hesitates to appropriate a bone not Intended for bim. His right Is never disputed, be¬ cause it Is backed up by might. The other dog is a cunning little puppy of uncertain iiedlgree, whose chief object seems to Xte to amuse his companions and find the bones which they take from him. When our family have watched this as long as tbey can, they sometimes call In the Ilttle fellow to give him something special. On such occasions the bulldog slinks off, as If conscious of having forfeited his share of the feast, while the ilttle fellow comes up with beaming eyes and a dog-smile on ills face that win for him tbe nicest tidbits. Now, here's the point of this story: Qood manners make more friends and gain better consideration from people we call the pnbllc than probably any¬ thing elee In the worli. Thla little dog bas given us a flrst-class lesson In how to be happy atid to make others bappy. THE RESCUE OF THE LO; T Fr.lENOS.

A more advanced member of the committee of "Ways aud Means" suggested the teleiihone. F'irst they called the apartment in .New York from which the party in question had recently moved. A ecn- versation with the superintendent of the ariartment brought no results, as he did not know where the elusive rela¬ tive had moved to. lie suggested tho teiephoue number of an intimate friend. This number was called, but jiroved to be a ''don't answer." Here, the leader of Ihe dejected imrty was al)OUt to give up her efforts when she called the telephone supervisor anil asked help.

The squash was grown from a seed buu- dreds—perhaps a thousand—years old and In the Verde country ia considered a wonder of the age. The discovery was made by Johu (•. Allen of Cherry, Ariz., and in a most novel manner. .Mien 'was flshing alonv one of the tributary creeks of the Verde, and his skill with the rod seem¬ ingly falling him, he decided to see if he could not make his trip a profitable one by hunting tho ruins for pottery left by some prehistoric tribe. Making hla way Into one of the Iar ger rooms of thc cliff dwellings he no¬ ticed a portion of the wall that ap¬ peared as if some time or other It had been closed up. I""iirther investigation proved that be was right, for he easily broke through the wall at this place nnd discovered a small room or recess whicb contained pottery, corncobs and about a dozen seeds that resembled ordinary squash seed. The room had been sealed so tightly that not even .i mouse could mnke ibS way into it. it was too late to plant the seeds nt the time of their discovery last year, so they were not planted until enrly Inst spring. Of the twelve seeds but one came up, and the plant from it carried one large squash which weigh.M twenty-flve fotinds. FLIES KNOW DINNER BELL. Drummer Told They Stop In Stable Until Summoned.

Early in January the new things for spring in children's wear are present¬ ed by their designers, and the home sewing is soon under way. Fabrics and styles are at hand for the consid¬ eration of the home dressmaker, and she may anticipate the spring and earn leisure in summer by getting much of the spring sewing out of the way in the middle of winter. There are many pretty new models in frocks for little girls, including school and play dresses and those for afternoon and little party frocks, that it ia more of a pleaaure than a task to make. A gingham dress, for every day, and a linen suit for dresaup, de¬ signed for the girl of ten years, are shown in the picture given here, and they are weil worth while copying ex¬ actly as they are. The gingham dress is a small plaid pattern, with tan and soft darker col¬ orings crossed with very narrow bars in black. It is cut with a novel yoke viihich drops at each side of the front and slopes down to the waist line at the sides. The jshape is the same at the back. The skirt portion is plaited into the yoke at the back and sides and partly across the front. But at the center the fullness is taken up by shirrings. The neck is cut round, with a shal¬ low "V" opening at the front and fin¬ ished with a small sailor collar of plain tan linen. The edges of the col¬ lar and the cuffs that match it are fin¬ ished with buttonhole stitching In heavy linen floss.

Australian fashion label Sass & Bide started back on the London Fashion Week schedule a few seasons ago, and their move from cult denim (they were after all the brand that single-handedly caused the skinny jeans revolution in the UK with their grey 'Frayed Misfit' jeans...with a little keep from Kate Moss, naturally) to designer brand has been most successful. With their past two collections flying out of stores and the A-list clamouring to wear their latest looks (one of Beyonce's most memorable numbers last year was her heavily-embellished Sass & Bide bodycon dress; and they're still Cheryl Cole and Whitney Port's top choice for leopard-print denim and tie-dye styles) we couldn't wait to see what Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton would do next...and would we spot the next style sensation to supersede the ruched Black Rats legging? So we piled into Covent Garden's Royal Opera House and down into a fabric-draped circular space to find out. The music starting pumping (energetic, buzzy beats) and the sun-kissed models (led by O-T-M Aussie babe Jessica Hart) filled out....the design duo didn't disappoint. Attention-grabbing prints in pretty colour palettes and later more graphic monochrome designs typical of the label; in a mix of easy, effortless silhouettes- think silky jumpsuits and sassy separates, often adorned with most incredible embellishment. Sexy mini dresses with gorgeous rose gold metal detailing that could instantly be imaginable on Rihanna & Co. Fun straw-like raffia made its way onto dramatic ruff collars and skirts and some brilliant draped trousers were particularly memorable. Sass & Bide's S/S '11 collection is a definite crowd-pleaser for their ever-growing fan base.

Things about People
If you're unsure, then chances are you'll scroll down the page and look for reviews and ratings left by others. And chances are you'll listen to the reviews, even though the people writing the reviews are total strangers.
Does your buying or liking the lemonade have anything to do with the wording on the sign next to the lemonade stand? Apparently so.
Whether you're buying candy, cereal, TVs, or jeans, you'll likely have a huge number of items to choose from. Whether it's a retail store or a Web site, if you ask people if they'd prefer to choose from a few alternatives or have lots of choices, most people will say they want lots of choices.
Consider this scenario: You've just landed at an airport and you have to walk to the baggage claim to pick up your luggage. It takes you 12 minutes to walk there. When you arrive your luggage is coming onto the carousel. How impatient do you feel?
Contrast that with this scenario: You've just landed at an airport, and the walk to the luggage carousel takes 2 minutes. Then you stand around waiting 10 minutes for your luggage to appear. How impatient do you feel now? In both cases it took you 12 minutes to pick up your luggage, but chances are you are much more impatient, and much unhappier, in the second scenario where you have to stand around and wait.
Whatever the activity, you become totally engrossed, totally in the moment.
Everything else falls away, your sense of time changes, and you almost forget who you are and where you are. What I'm describing is called a flow state.
Progressive disclosure requires multiple clicks. You may have heard it said that Web sites should minimize the number of times that people have to click to get to detailed information.
The number of clicks is not important. People are very willing to click multiple times. In fact, they won't even notice they're clicking if they're getting the right amount of information at each click to keep them going down the path.
Think progres-sive disclosure; don't count clicks.
(The estimate is that you handle 40 billion pieces of information every second, but only 40 of those make it to your conscious brain.) One mistake that designers sometimes make is giving too much information all at once.
You're thinking of buying a TV. You do some research on what TV to buy and then go online to purchase one. What factors are involved in this decision-making process? It may not be the process you think it is. People like to think that they've carefully and logically weighed all the relevant factors before they make a decision. In the case of the TV, you've considered the size of TV that works best in your room, the brand that you've read is the most reliable, the competitive price, whether this is the best time to buy, and so on. You've considered all those factors consciously, but research on decision making shows that your actual decision is made primarily in an unconscious way.
Why do people donate their time and creative thought process to Wikipedia? Or the open source movement? When you stop and think about it, you realize that there are many activities that people engage in, even over a long period of time, that require high expertise, and yet offer no monetary or even career-building benefit. People like to feel that they are making progress. They like to feel that they are learning and mastering new knowledge and skills.

There are so many ideas in my head....but i cant bring them to paper! :|
i despair D:
I havn't posted in a long while. But I feel i'm a happier person if I spend some time sketching.
My city is one step after sketch but I like the emotions in .
I read this post as to create a modern city that exists today, but all I see is futuristic ones. So I did Venice. Some really nice pieces so far.
This is heavily based on a photo of Tokyo since environments are not my forte.
I spent about three or four hours on this at work. I spent another hour coloring it when I got home, but then I decided I didn't like the coloring, so I went monochrome. Oh well.
Madness takes its toll. Please have correct change.
the first one is venice, the second is Times Row in manhattan.
i dont like either, personally.
Don't Fear the Reaper
Not sure how far off the idea of the topic I might be with this... oh well.

FB: Vikings football Ranked #24 on BSN Top 25 PollNov. 09, 2012 1:57 PM | Author: Football Sports Information | Updated: Nov. 09th, 2012 1:59 PM
The Vikings 21-20 win last Saturday vs. Robert Morris gave the team their seventh win of the season, with a bye week this upcoming Saturday to finish the season. The win moved the Vikings back in to the top 25 on BSNcollege.com's weekly top 25 list. The football team is now ranked #24 and could possibly still change due to the fact that the rest of the NAIA will still be playing this weekend.

The descriptions plainly say that these are updates of the 3.5 rules. I think WotC will pepper their schedule with such products during the lull between the announcement of 5E and its actual release. But that is only one month after the 1E books -- shouldn't they be spreading things out a bit more? Maybe we should look for other reprints (D&D Rules Cyclopedia, anyone?).
If 5E really were to be released this September, that is exactly the sort of decision that I would expect a principled game designer to resign over -- but I would be shocked if they did that, since it would mean that the public play tests are coming too late to have any effect on the final product. I am actually hoping that whatever issue Monte Cook left over is small enough that it does not become immediately apparent to us outsiders -- that is what would be a disaster for WotC.

ø Ignore KnightfallFor me, the questions become: Which of the two remaining designers will lead the design team? Or will they simply be co-designers?
And will someone else be brought in (hired on) to join the design team? Dividing the work of three designers amongst two does not seem like it would be a good idea.Robert Blezard

ø Ignore Le Noir FaineantThe question is, will D&D, apart from nostalgia editions and remakes, still be at all relevant to the hobby next year around this time?
I can't quite think so.
This Mr Mearls, I read his column over at WotC, and he seems to have a completely different view on the hobby than...
Well, just about any gamer I know.
Not that the D&D brand dying would be too much of an issue, at this point.
There's enough stuff out there even to satisfy the most ardent collectors, and between the OSR, Pathfinder, ebay, and other games in the same spirit, there's stuff to game for centuries.
But 5e, uuuh, wasn't this supposed to be the "charm offensive" towards the alienated fanbase?

I was saddened by the news of Monte's departure. I have enjoyed his work over the years and many books on my shelf feature his name on the cover. Any time a project loses someone who is so talented, it is a significant loss. I am confident that Monte will go on to many future successes and I wish him the best.
That said, Rob Schwalb and Bruce Cordell are also talented individuals who I believe are more than capable of producing a quality game. After getting to play a game with Rob as a DM, I feel confident that the game is in good hands, even if he did kill my character.
I have played every edition of D&D and I feel that each one has brought something new and exciting to the table. I am looking forward to what D&D next has in store. In the last week I have run D&D 4e Encounters, AD&D 1e Hidden Shrine of Tamaochan, played in a BECMI game and I am running 2e Dragon Mountain on Saturday. I am kind of like the Captain Planet of D&D editions (YOUR EDITIONS COMBINED...)
I think that it is important to keep things in perspective and most importantly, roll some dice and have fun playing make believe!

ø Ignore LanefanDid the 1e books get delayed? I thought they came out this week...
As for Mr. Cook's departure and the bit about differences with WotC, I wonder if Hasbro set some profit/sales goals that are unachievable unless 5e is released in a manner Mr. Cook doesn't agree with - possibly like the core of 4e - a bit at a time in order to keep the cashflow going.

ø Ignore DavenI am not surprised so much as Mike Mearls says.
When he returned I thought that he would create problems on opinion divergence level.
He acts too much like a rock star. He better works alone.

ø Ignore NyronusYou can't say for certain the poster was motivated by contempt. Tone is kind of lost in text. The phrase "good riddance" could be said with an agry spit at the ground, or with an apathetic eye roll or a shrug. Even assuming though it was said with contempt: Contempt of what? As I mentioned, I felt some of the things Monte was saying about game design were dishonest, and I honestly find that kind of contemptible, in the context of being a professional in a field. I find his (thankfully discarded) concept of Ivory Tower Game Design contemptible in the context of game design theory, as not only is it just plain noob-punishing, but it also completely missed the point and context of why it was in is Magic the Gathering (to facilitate different levels and types of play). Just because I've found some of his conduct unprofessional, and the ideas he used to hold as dumber than rocks doesn't mean I think he's a terrible human being. I honestly wouldn't know.
I also honestly wouldn't know why the poster in question felt strongly enough to say "good riddance," if he really felt all that strongly at all. I find turning on him when he has given no other indication of his feelings beyond not liking Monte working on the project a lot (maybe), and spitting openly in his face and calling him a tool, on the grounds that he made an uncalled for personal attack, to be terribly myopic.

It was an ugly attack and it really shouldn't be defended.
It's largely kept in check here, but over on RPG.net to an extent and certainly on /tg/ there's been a seriously callous and disgusting display today over Monte leaving, pretty much the 4venger crowd seeing it as some sort of vindication of 4e design elements in 5e moving forward.Todd Stewart

The 2002 vintage has a pale gold color with silver accents. It has a brilliant aspect and an effervescence that is lively and long-lasting. The nose is very open, pure and complex. The Chardonnay gives this wine a refined mineral flavor accompanied with pleasant flowery notes of acacia. Aerating the wine reveals hints of yellow-fleshed fruit and pastries(brioche, marzipan). These give way to delicately spicy aromas, followed by elegant notes of licorice and high-bred teas. In the mouth, the wine is silky and generous. The expectations promised by the nose are met and even exceeded as the complexity of this wine is superlative:simultaneously evoking fruity and floral, mineral and spicy notes, menthol and toast. This wine is quite simply dazzling with its wealth of aromas, and a deliciously long and powerful finish.
Pair this with with bass tartare, poached turbot served on a bed of fresh pasta, or cappuccino of Bresse chicken with candied citrus fruits.
"This combines the richness of the Clicquot style with flavor precision and the length of the '02 vintage. It's delicious juice, accelerated by the bubbles into a blast of flavor that lasts. There's flinty minerality as well as lime and ginger root, youthful and invigorating for now and suited to years in the cellar." 93 Points Wine & Spirits
"This firm, racy Champagne offers fresh spring blossom, almond paste and apple pastry notes, with good intensity on a refined frame. The finish of lemon zest and spice lingers. Best from 2012 through 2017" 91 Points Wine Spectator
The House was founded by Philippe Clicquot in 1772. Since its inception, Veuve Clicquot has been a specialist in Champagnes based on Pinot Noir, especially Rose.

Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can.

When Tennessee gets good again it'll make everyone else's schedule even harder cause then the East will have 4 great teams + Vandy being decent all of a sudden, making it harder for West teams to dodge one of the big dogs, and also nearly impossible for an East team to go through a season undefeated.

I think what you'd see is 4 pods of 4. 3 division games, 2 or 3 permanent opponents, and the rest rotating. With a 9 game schedule, you'd hit all of the teams pretty quickly. I like that aspect of it. What I don't like is what games we might lose.
You'd probably have these pods:
LSU A&M Missouri Arkansas
Miss state Ole miss Alabama auburn
The other teams would be harder to split, but some combination of those would make up two more pods.Alabama's permanent rivals outside of division would probably be Tennessee and LSU. I'd hate to lose the A&M game.

This year is certainly down, because we have Kentucky. But remember that Tennessee is historically the second strongest program in the SEC and has a BCS championship (so they have modern success also). Our cross division rival being down for a few years has hurt us in the schedule department. There was a time in the past (and there will be again) where we have the toughest cross division game. Right now it's obviously Florida LSU.
But I agree we have little margin for error this year.

It's got more to do with home games. If you play 9 conf games there will be years you only get 4 at home. No one wants that. If you go to 10 conf games 5 home 5 away then your 2 non conf games have to be against turds because they have to be home games. Every Team has to have 7 home games minimum for revenue. You can't play a home and home with another BCS conf school, it doesn't give you 7 home games
The B1G is going through the same debate now and the one thing I've learned is what the fans want gets zero consideration and will have zero effect on how things are done. It's all about the $$$$. -
FortWorthTide said...
It frustrates me to no end. Before NCAAassasin gets too excited, I still believe that most SEC schools have the toughest schedules in the country. Obviously Mississippi state doesn't, but a school like Alabama or LSU that consistently plays a marquee OOC game or a school like Florida that plays FSU every year will typically have a top schedule when combined with their conference slate.
However, I'd still like to see 9 games. Better cross division matchups and more SEC games are a win for everyone. I know Saban is in favor of 9, but I suspect it's school like USCe and Florida going against it because of their in state games. Man up and deal with it. Pretty soon we'll be the only major conference playing 8 (you can hardly consider the ACC major anymore). What do you think it will take to force the change?

Historically, how would you rank them?
You can't really argue 1 & 2
1- Alabama 2- Tennessee
But I'm interested to see how tBB considers #3-6. Not trying to flame anybody on this, but historically I would probably go
3 - LSU 4 - Georgia 5 - Florida 6 - Auburn
NcaaAssassinG13 said...
I don't know LSU and UGA have won 65% of their games all-time. UF 63%.
It's close, when I get a chance I will look at the records in games between the top 6 SEC teams. I think that would help determine. UF doesn't have much before Spurrier, but they do have 3 titles and have been doing work ever since.
