Picosecond Internal Dynamics of Lysozyme as Affected by Thermal Unfolding in Nonaqueous Environment Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 1, 1 January 2004, Pages 480-487 A. De Francesco, M. Marconi, S. Cinelli, G. Onori and A. Paciaroni Abstract A neutron-scattering investigation of the internal picosecond dynamics of lysozyme solvated in glycerol as a function of temperature in the range 200–410K has been undertaken. The inelastic contribution to the measured intensity is characterized by the presence of a bump generally known as "boson peak", clearly distinguishable at low temperature. When the temperature is increased the quasielastic component of the spectrum becomes more and more intrusive and progressively overwhelms the vibrational bump. This happens especially for T>345K when the protein goes through an unfolding process, which leads to the complete denaturation. The quasielastic term is the superposition of two components whose intensities and linewidths have been studied as a function of temperature. The slower component describes motions with characteristic times of ∼4ps corresponding to reorientations of polypeptide side chains. Both the intensity and linewidth of this kind of relaxations show two distinct regimes with a crossover in the temperature range where the melting process occurs, thus suggesting the presence of a dynamical transition correlated to the protein unfolding. Conversely the faster component might be ascribed to the local dynamics of hydrogen atoms caged by the nearest neighbors with characteristic time of ∼0.3ps. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (153 kb) |
A Measure of Conformational Entropy Change during Thermal Protein Unfolding Using Neutron Spectroscopy Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 6, 1 June 2003, Pages 3924-3930 Jörg Fitter Abstract Thermal unfolding of proteins at high temperatures is caused by a strong increase of the entropy change which lowers Gibbs free energy change of the unfolding transition (ΔGunf=ΔH−TΔS). The main contributions to entropy are the conformational entropy of the polypeptide chain itself and ordering of water molecules around hydrophobic side chains of the protein. To elucidate the role of conformational entropy upon thermal unfolding in more detail, conformational dynamics in the time regime of picoseconds was investigated with neutron spectroscopy. Confined internal structural fluctuations were analyzed for α-amylase in the folded and the unfolded state as a function of temperature. A strong difference in structural fluctuations between the folded and the unfolded state was observed at 30°C, which increased even more with rising temperatures. A simple analytical model was used to quantify the differences of the conformational space explored by the observed protein dynamics for the folded and unfolded state. Conformational entropy changes, calculated on the basis of the applied model, show a significant increase upon heating. In contrast to indirect estimates, which proposed a temperature independent conformational entropy change, the measurements presented here, demonstrated that the conformational entropy change increases with rising temperature and therefore contributes to thermal unfolding.

Structural Equilibrium Fluctuations in Mesophilic and Thermophilic α-Amylase Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 3, 1 September 2000, Pages 1629-1636 J. Fitter and J. Heberle Abstract By comparing a mesophilic α-amylase with its thermophilic homolog, we investigated the relationship between thermal stability and internal equilibrium fluctuations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy monitoring hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange kinetics and incoherent neutron scattering measuring picosecond dynamics were used to study dynamic features of the folded state at room temperature. Fairly similar rates of slowly exchanging amide protons indicate about the same free energy of stabilization ΔGstab for both enzymes at room temperature. With respect to motions on shorter time scales, the thermophilic enzyme is characterized by an unexpected higher structural flexibility as compared to the mesophilic counterpart. In particular, the picosecond dynamics revealed a higher degree of conformational freedom for the thermophilic α-amylase. The mechanism proposed for increasing thermal stability in the present case is characterized by entropic stabilization and by flattening of the curvature of ΔGstab as a function of temperature.

Biophysical Journal, Volume 76, Issue 2, 1034-1042, 1 February 1999
Internal molecular motions of proteins are strongly affected by environmental conditions, like temperature and hydration. As known from numerous studies, the dynamical behavior of hydrated proteins on the picosecond time scale is characterized by vibrational motions in the low-temperature regime and by an onset of stochastic large-amplitude fluctuations at a transition temperature of 180–230K. The present study reports on the temperature dependence of internal molecular motions as measured with incoherent neutron scattering from the globular water-soluble protein α-amylase and from a protein-lipid complex of rhodopsin in disk membranes. Samples of α-amylase have been measured in a hydrated and dehydrated state. In contrast to the hydrated sample, which exhibits a pronounced dynamical transition near 200K, the dehydrated α-amylase does not show an appreciable proportion of stochastic large-amplitude fluctuations and no dynamical transition in the measured temperature range of 140–300K. The obtained results, which are compared to the dynamical behavior of protein-lipid complexes, are discussed with respect to the influence of hydration on the dynamical transition and in the framework of the glass transition.

Johan de Nysschen
Enlarge PhotoWe were going to let it slide, really. Just because the U.S. president of a major automaker calls the buyers of another carmaker's product "idiots" is no reason for us to sink to name calling.
But the hoohah has continued, and the misunderstandings seem to be growing. We thought it was time to contribute a few facts and some actual data to the uproar.
Electric cars? For "idiots"
Two days ago, MSN Autos quoted Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen telling reporter Laurence Ulrich that the 2011 Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle was "a car for idiots."
He based his argument on two points: The Volt will never pay back its extra cost in fuel savings, and plug-in cars that run on electricity would "result in a net increase in carbon dioxide emissions" because much of the American grid "relies on dirty coal."
The first is just his guess, based on price rumors. And on the second, sadly, he is just flat-out wrong.
(Audi has since been doing damage control and de Nysschen claims he misspoke. More on that below.)
2011 Chevrolet Volt
Enlarge Photofirst pre production chevrolet volt prototype 001
Enlarge PhotoVolt payback: Only rumors
On the first, de Nysschen is basing his calculations on rumors. Unless and until GM releases the price for its 2011 Volt, it's all supposition.
It's been widely rumored that the 2011 Chevy Volt will sticker around $40,000, but the actual price likely won't be known for another year, assuming it arrives in November 2010 as promised.
"No one is going to pay a $15,000 premium for a car that competes with a (Toyota) Corolla," he told Ulrich. "So there are not enough idiots who will buy it."
That assumes the compact Volt will compete directly against other compact cars, like the Corolla. But that hasn't proven to be true for other advanced technology cars, like hybrids.
The Toyota Prius, for instance, is often a substitute for luxury cars like the ones Audi sells. We think that may be the case for the Chevy Volt's early years too, before lithium-ion cell costs fall.
2010 Toyota Prius
Enlarge PhotoCould a GM-branded Prius be in your future?
Enlarge PhotoEVs = more CO2? Wrong, wrong, wrong
On his second point, that electric cars would increase CO2 emissions compared to diesels, de Nyscchen is absolutely wrong.
A recent study of the U.S. market shows that how green a plug-in is depends on where it's plugged in. But a mile driven on electricity always produces less CO2 than driving that same mile in a 25-mile-per-gallon gasoline car. Always.
And the same applies to diesel at slightly lower levels--say 20 miles per gallon--since diesel engines are more efficient per gallon (and hence emit less carbon) than gasoline engines.
Extreme case: Dirtiest grid
If you're comparing to a 50-mpg gasoline car (say, the 2010 Toyota Prius), or a 40-mpg diesel car (say, the new 2010 Audi A3 TDI), then you need to know more about your local grid.
In states with very dirty (or "high-carbon") power, that 50-mpg 2010 Prius or 40-mpg A3 TDI emits slightly less carbon on a full "wells to wheels" basis than it would if powered on electricity.
In Wyoming or North Dakota, for instance, the power is largely from burning coal and hence exceptionally dirty. Making a kilowatt-hour of electricity generates more than 1,000 grams of CO2, or twice the national average. There, the Prius or A3 TDI is a better bet.
The American and Japanese competition face delays as the Germans have the segment to themselves

This one might be my HG for powder foundation. I bought this at my local MN studio. This really won't irritate my skin because I have sensitive oily skin. It keeps the oil under control. I noticed that it won't make my skin red even under the heat of the sun, even beats Clinique powder. Will definitely buy again!
I have been using this powder foundation for over 10 years. I love it. I have combination skin and it works beautifully. I use the powder alone when I want a more natural look (for work or just around the house) and I use it over liquid foundation as a powder when I am going out or when my skin looks bad. The application of this product is flawless and doesn't need a whole lot of blending. I love the coverage this product provides. I can't imagine ever switching to another product. My girlfriends that have seen me use it over the years...now use and love it too! Can't recommend it enough. I LOVE IT! My only complaint, really isn't a complaint but I do think a package redesign would be good. I love the big mirror and the large compact but it does look a bit cheesy- pearl/gold.

This is the absolute best powder foundation I've ever used. I had been using philosophy's supernatural mineral foundation but didn't think the oil control was sufficient enough for me. I happened to remember that I had about 1/2 of a compact left of this that I took with me on vacation last year and pulled it out. I wears beautifully! The coverage can go from very sheer all the way to full coverage depending on how much you apply. I have used both the sponge that comes with it & my Chanel kabuki brush to apply. I think I prefer the sponge. It controls my oily shine better than anything I've used and does not look cakey or heavy at all. Overall a great product at a very reasonable price. I have since ran out and had to replace. $23.95 at the local Merle Norman studio. Would definitely repurchase.
all i can say is this powder is too cakey, and the smell is just terrible. all in all it was an okay powder nothing special, but i could never get over the smell.
I used this powder foundation for years. The only complaints I have is that it could look pretty cakey at times on me. I have very oily skin and I liked the fact that it is a powder and seemed to not make my skin look as oily. It also had pretty good coverage, but unless I was careful and put it on very light it would get kinda cakey and didn't look completely natural. My sister still uses this product and it looks terrific on her!
Now I use Mary Kay powder foundation and it is lighter and doesn't have as good of coverage but it looks very natural. It is also cheaper.
Another purchase based on MUA reviews and am so happy that I did. This is the best foundation that I've used and I have already repurchased twice.
I was using MUFE powder foundation and lightest shade was too dark and went a bit orange on me. I am extremely pale and can never find a shade light enough and found that in the summer the second lightest shade Cameo is a great match. For winter I switched to the lightest shade Fair and it is a perfect match.
There is a fragrance to this but I don't notice any smell once I put it on. This lasts all day on me with a touch up of Clean and Clear powder. This is definitely a HG for me!
Recently, I became curious about this brand after reminiscing about my makeover at a Merle Norman studio when I was a teenager a million years ago. It was the 80's and everything was big and gaudy, including the makeup. At the time, I came out of that makeover looking like I couldn't make the cut as a Dynasty cast member. I began to wonder if things had changed with Merle Norman and if they had any decent products I was missing out on now. Off to read reviews this foundation sounded so tempting to me so I rolled the dice on ebay and won it for next to nothing. I love it! I am 42, I have very good normal/dry skin. some of my favorite foundations are Stephane Marais, Neutrogena healthy skin enhancer, Elizabeth Arden Mousse LP cellular radiance and the caviar one, Awakes skin renovation, Becca's LSE , Diorskin pefect light and Kevyn Aucoins SSE. So I've tried a lot and I pronounce this one a winner. It's not as dewy as I expected but it is lovely on. Not at all greasy, probably medium coverage but not at all masky or noticeable. It evens me out and with a primer on my nose, chin and forehead it lasts all day. I was incredibly lucky to get a perfect match by purely guessing. I am an NW20 on the very light end and I wear this in Cream. This is luxurious and gives a really beautiful soft focus look to my skin. I love it.

I have extremely oily skin AND live in humid South Georgia, so when I say that I have problems wearing makeup on my face and not my clothes, please note that this is not an understatement. But the MN Ultra Powder has been, so far, the best when it comes to staying power and shine free coverage. The coverage is velvety smooth and it's great at covering imperfections. It's not perfect mind you. My t-zones start glistening after two or three hours and if you use a heavy hand it can look a bit too cakey and surreal. Other reviewers have mentioned the "old lady" scent and old fashioned case. It's true, it's not the most chic thing to carry, but it's like my Honda Civic: it might not get ooh's and aahh's when I take it out, but it's dependable and damn good at what it does.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this from a sample for the last 3 days and I really dislike it. The coverage is too light, too powdery (now I see where the ULTRA powder name came in) and has almost no staying power. Only the extremely oily could be happy with this. Regular face powder is as good as this. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Powder Makeup is the way to go if you want a powder foundation.
This is my hg powder, the color is a perfect match. The texture is velvety. Although this is the longest lasting powder I have tried, I wish it would last longer (shine-prone). The compact is huge, but that means a huge mirror. Includes a nice squishy sponge for smooth texture. As this compact aged, the powder cracked a bit.

The Air Quality Index
What it is
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a color-coded tool for reporting daily air quality that tells you how clean or polluted your air is. It provides simple information on local air quality, the health concerns for different levels of air pollution, and how you can protect your health when pollutants reach unhealthy levels.
AQI Values |

Meaning |
Colors |
When the AQI is: |

The AQI measures levels of the six criteria pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency – fine particles, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and lead. Fine particles and ground-level ozone are the pollutants that show up the most on the AQI for the Puget Sound region.
As useful a tool as it is, the AQI does not measure two other issues of concern in our region and other parts of the country as well – air toxics and greenhouse gases. EPA currently has no comparable standards for measuring and reporting air toxics and greenhouse gases.
What it doesn't tell you
In general, Air Quality Index charts represent some good news for public health. They show that we generally enjoy clean air in the Puget Sound region, but we still have days when air quality is not in the green.
What the AQI doesn't tell you is levels of air toxics, pollutants in our area that also pose potential health risk, and greenhouse gases, which cause global climate change. That's because there currently are no EPA standards for measuring and reporting air toxics and greenhouse gases in the same way we measure and report criteria pollutants.
National modeling for air toxics indicates that we share a dubious distinction with other urban areas of the country where traffic is heavy and tailpipes are many – they have high levels of air toxics. The modeling puts the Seattle metropolitan area among the top 5 percent of the nation for potential cancer risk, like most big cities. Air toxics monitoring is being done in Seattle to collect data on actual concentrations in the air.
Washington Air Quality Advisory (WAQA)
Many air quality agencies use the Air Quality Index, or AQI, to tell people when air quality is healthy or unhealthy. The AQI uses color-coded categories to show when air quality is "good," "moderate," or "unhealthy."
The Washington State Department of Ecology has developed an enhanced tool similar to the AQI, which we believe better protects public health. This tool is called the Washington Air Quality Advisory, or WAQA. It looks almost exactly like the AQI, but shows that air pollution is unhealthy at lower levels than the AQI does. The Washington State Department of Health developed the health messages WAQA uses to explain the health risks of different levels of pollution.

A Toronto Symphony: Massive Musical Collaboration
Tod Machover, Peter Torpey, Akito Van Troyer, and Ben BloombergThus far, crowdsourced and interactive music have been limited, with the public only a small part of a final musical result, and often disconnected from the artist leading the project. We believe that a new "musical ecology" is needed for true creative collaboration between experts and amateurs that benefits both. For this purpose, we created a new symphony in collaboration with the entire city of Toronto. Called "A Toronto Symphony," the work–commissioned by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra–premiered in March 2013. We designed the necessary infrastructure, a variety of web-based music composition applications, a social media framework, and real-world community-building activities to bring together an unprecedented number of people from diverse backgrounds. This process establishes a new model for creating complex collaborations between experts and everyone else.
Tod Machover and Akito Van TroyerWith this interactive musical web app, users created and experienced the sounds of Edinburgh for Tod Machover's Festival City, composed by Machover with public collaboration for the 2013 Edinburgh International Festival.

Crenulations and Excursions
Tod Machover and Elena JessopWe are developing a new set of movement experiences titled Crenulations and Excursions. This work consists of two aspects: a public installation that allows visitors to explore a rich sonic space through their expressive movement, and a short dance performance that allows a trained performer to explore the expressive capabilities of the installation environment. With a tiny, energetic gesture or with a fluid and sweeping movement, a performer can create and shape layers of sound around herself. Both the installation and performance will explore the body as a subtle and powerful instrument, providing continuous control of continuous expression. This piece is related to Elena Jessop's doctoral work on new high-level analysis frameworks for recognition and extension of expressive physical performance.
Death and the Powers: Global Interactive Simulcast
Tod Machover, Peter Torpey, Ben Bloomberg, Elena Jessop, Rebecca Kleinberger, Charles Holbrow, and Akito van TroyerA live global interactive simulcast of the final February 2014 performance of Death and the Powers in Dallas will make innovative use of satellite broadcast and Internet technologies to expand the boundaries of second-screen experience and interactivity during a live remote performance. In the opera, Simon Powers uploads his mind, memories, and emotions into The System, represented onstage through reactive robotic, visual, and sonic elements. Remote audiences of the simulcast are treated as part of The System alongside Powers and the operabots. Audiences have an omniscient view of the action of the opera, as presented through the multi-camera video and surround sound. Multimedia content delivered to mobile devices privileges remote audiences with perspectives from within The System. Mobile devices also allow audiences to influence The System by affecting the illumination of the Winspear Opera House's Moody Foundation Chandelier.
Death and the Powers: Redefining Opera
Tod Machover, Ben Bloomberg, Peter Torpey, Elena Jessop, Bob Hsiung, Akito van TroyerDesigning Immersive Multi-Sensory Eating Experiences
Tod Machover and Janice WangFood offers a rich multi-modal experience that can deeply affect emotion and memory. We're interested in exploring the artistic and expressive potential of food beyond mere nourishment, as a means of creating memorable experiences that involve multiple senses. For instance, music can change our eating experience by altering our emotions during the meal, or by evoking a specific time and place. Similarly, sight, smell, and temperature can all be manipulated to combine with food for expressive effect. In addition, by drawing upon people's physiology and upbringing, we seek to create individual, meaningful sensory experiences. Specifically, we are exploring the connection between music and flavor perception.
Disembodied Performance
Tod Machover, Peter Torpey and Elena JessopDrumTop
Tod Machover and Akito Oshiro van TroyerThis project aims to transform everyday objects into percussive musical instruments, encouraging people to rediscover their surroundings through musical interactions with the objects around them. DrumTop is a drum machine made up of eight transducers. Placing objects on top of the transducers triggers a "hit," causing sounds to come out from the objects themselves. In addition, users can program drum patterns by pushing on a transducer, and the weight of an object can be measured to control the strength of a "hit."
Peter TorpeyFigments is an theatrical performance that tells a story inspired by a variety of source texts, including Dante Alighieri's prosimetrum La Vita Nuova. Framed by a woman's accidental discovery of the compelling journals of the Dante-archetype, three inner vignettes reveal the timeless tribulations of the memoir's author(s). Figments was created using Media Scores, a framework in development to facilitate the composition of Gesamtkunstwerk using parametric score-like visual notation. The Media Score for Figments is realized in this production through the performance of actors, light, visuals, and the generation of musical accompaniment in response to the expressive qualities represented in the score. The score served as a reference during the creation and design of the piece, a guide during rehearsals, and as show control for the final production.
Gestural Media Framework
Tod Machover and Elena JessopHyperinstruments
Tod MachoverHyperproduction: Advanced Production Systems
Tod Machover and Benjamin BloombergHyperproduction is a conceptual framework and a software toolkit which allows producers to specify a descriptive computational model and consequently an abstract state for a live experience through traditional operating paradigms such as mixing audio, or operation of lighting, sound and video systems. The hyperproduction system is able to interpret this universal state and automatically utilize additional production systems, allowing for a small number of producers to cohesively guide the attention and perspective of an audience using many or very complex production systems simultaneously. We focus on exploring the relationship of conventional production systems and techniques to abstract computational models of live performance, with attention and perspective as the cornerstones of this exploration.
Tod MachoverLooking for the Persona through the Voice
Tod Machover and Rebecca KleinbergerHow does your voice reflect how you as an individual interact with society? As a way to reveal the persona, this project explores the voice as a complex ecosystem in which psychology, cognition, and physiology interact with the physicality of the world, and how this interaction loops back to influence cognitive processes. This journey is composed of software, devices, installations, and thoughts used together to challenge us to see our vocal apparel from a new point of view by a process of "estrangement." This enterprise starts by bringing self-awareness of one's voice by proposing different ways to extend, project, and visualize it. A second stage will consist of disrupting expectancy, showing how our voices can escape from our control, and exploring the consequences in terms of self-reflection, therapy, affective features visualization, and communication improvement.
Media Scores
Tod Machover and Peter TorpeyMedia Scores extends the concept of a musical score to other modalities, facilitating the process of authoring and performing multimedia compositions and providing a medium through which to realize a modern-day Gesamtkunstwerk. The web-based Media Scores environment and related show control systems leverages research into multimodal representation and encoding of expressive intent. Using such a tool, the composer will be able to shape an artistic work that may be performed through a variety of media and modalities. Media Scores offer the potential for authoring content considering live performance data as well as audience participation and interaction. This paradigm bridges the extremes of the continuum from composition to performance, allowing for improvisation. The Media Score also provides a common point of reference in collaborative productions as well as the infrastructure for real-time control of technologies used during live performance.

Tod Machover and Peter TorpeyRemote Theatrical Immersion: Extending "Sleep No More"
Tod Machover, Punchdrunk, Akito Van Troyer, Ben Bloomberg, Gershon Dublon, Jason Haas, Elena Jessop, Brian Mayton, Eyal Shahar, Jie Qi, Nicholas Joliat, and Peter TorpeyWe have collaborated with London-based theater group Punchdrunk to create an online platform connected to their NYC show, Sleep No More. In the live show, masked audience members explore and interact with a rich environment, discovering their own narrative pathways. We have developed an online companion world to this real-life experience, through which online participants partner with live audience members to explore the interactive, immersive show together. Pushing the current capabilities of web standards and wireless communications technologies, the system delivers personalized multimedia content, allowing each online participant to have a unique experience co-created in real time by his own actions and those of his onsite partner. This project explores original ways of fostering meaningful relationships between online and onsite audience members, enhancing the experiences of both through the affordances that exist only at the intersection of the real and the virtual worlds.
Repertoire Remix
Tod Machover, Benjamin Bloomberg and Akito Van TroyerRepertoire Remix was a live-stream event where the pianist, Tae Kim, wove repertoire fragments in constantly evolving ways based on website visitors' input. The web interface showed a colored bubble for each composer. Stirring on-screen with a mouse point influenced the closest composer bubbles to grow. Picking up and stirring directly with a bubble amplified that composer's presence. Composer Tod Machover simultaneously controlled a second interface, determining how the composer-fragments overlapped, bounced against each other, or fused together. Website visitors' input, together with Machover's, immediately changed the size, appearance, and behavior of the bubbles, and this in turn became Tae's "score" for the improv session. He followed the community's preferences and performed accordingly.
Vocal Vibrations: Expressive Performance for Body-Mind Wellbeing
Tod Machover, Charles Holbrow, Elena Jessop, Rebecca Kleinberger, Le Laboratoire, and the Dalai Lama Center at MITVocal Vibrations is exploring the relationships between human physiology and the resonant vibrations of the voice. The voice and body are instruments everyone possesses–they are incredibly individual, infinitely expressive, and intimately linked to the physical form. In collaboration with Le Laboratoire in Paris and the Dalai Lama Center at MIT, we are exploring the hypothesis that the singing voice can influence mental and physical health through physicochemical phenomena and in ways consistent with contemplative practices. We are developing a series of multimedia experiences, including individual "meditations," a group "singing circle," and an iPad application, all effecting mood modulation and spiritual enhancement in an enveloping context of stunningly immersive, responsive music. For spring 2014, we are developing a vocal art installation in Paris where a private "grotto" environment allows individual visitors to meditate using vibrations generated by their own voice, augmented by visual, acoustic, and physical stimuli.

Thread: Module Design
Saturday, 6th September, 2008, 06:20 PM #1
Module Design
I've seen a lot of complaint about the current way in which modules are designed in Dungeon. I've also seen a lot of praise for the KotS method. And, of course, vice versa.
I'm interested to see just how you would do it, or what your preferences are in terms of module design.
Personally, I like my fluff up front in one big section that I can completely ignore. I like my encounters to be short'n'sweet in presentation and style. Fluffing encounters with lots of text makes Kzach a very unhappy boy.
I'm not a big fan of modules period as I'd prefer to just make things up on the spot. But I occasionally mine modules for inspiration or trap/encounter ideas so separating the fluff from the crunch is what is useful for me.
That, and reading a friggin novella when you're trying to run an encounter is just bloody annoying. Bullet points are a DM's friend.

ø Ignore GilladianI prefer my fluff text and my encounter description together - I can't stand having to flip pages to figure out where something is, or what an object in the room is, etc...
But I also hate to get lost in descriptions and find bits of text everywhere. I like the old Dungeon way - it seemed they had a good consistent layout that made it easy to familiarize myself with. Not that it was the best layout, possibly, but it was always the SAME.
I do like bullet points whenever possible. I can fancy up a description just fine - it's harder to chill it down to the bare minimum when necessary.My Campaign Wiki: http://vishteercampaign.pbwiki.com

ø Ignore CrothianI want story in my module. I can look up stats in MMs and other books myself. I want crtisp clean maps and something cool inside. I tire of dungeon crawls that do not give us anything new. I tire of dungeons crawls period. I want encounters in different places. I want modules that are non linear and creative. I want the wow factor.

ø Ignore KhairnI think that why you are using the module has a lot of impact in which type of design format you prefer. In your case Kzach, I can easily see why you would prefer your crunch in one section that is concise and free of fluff and story. You're mining the modules for crunchy details and and inspiration.
Personally I like to create my own adventures. But when I use a module, I want to utilize every part of it. Its themes, mood, fluff, crunch etc etc. For that reason, having a module that I constantly need to flip back and forth drives me nuts. I want to be able to refer to the fluff, see the stat block and the floorplan in just 1 or 2 pages. This is one of the reasons why WotC's "Expedition to ..." series of adventures never made it to my gaming table. Just too much of a pain in the *** to use.Just be thankful I'm not a twin.

Well, the reason I posted this was because I'm reading through the Last Breaths of Ashenport module to run it in a few days. I'd already skimmed it but now I'm trying to actually piece everything together in my head.
My head hurts.
Modules annoy me because they tend to bury so many things in the bulk of fluff text, most of which I really don't need to know to run the module. That and all the conditions and preconditions and event timing and miniscule little addendum's that can alter the entire plot.
There is just no way in Hell I'm going to remember even a quarter of this stuff. And there's even less chance that I'm going to halt the game to reread things to run it properly.
So I figure, if I'm going to have to fudge things and make stuff up to keep things interesting and involving, why even use a module at all?
However, if there was a different design used, maybe I might change my tune. I don't think it's impossible or too much to ask that some effort be put in to finding what the best module design is, or could be, that facilitates an interesting and involving game without bogging the DM down in minutia and making them read novella's to run a game.

ø Ignore SpatulaI don't think I've seen any "vice versa," aside from this post. The KotS encounter design, while I have not used it in play myself, looks highly convenient. The PCs enter an area on the map. You go straight to that writeup in the book, which is a 2 page spread that tells you everything you need to know about that area: what's there, dealing with the approach of the PCs, monster stats & tactics, area features & treasure. Plus a little tactical map.
With the Dungeon layout (also used in latter-day 3e adventures, I believe), the players enter an area on the map. You go straight to its entry in the adventure, which tells you... to flip to the back of the adventure for what actually happens in that area. Or not, depending. All that flipping around slows things down at the table. When I look up something in the adventure, I want all the relevant information for that area in one easy-to-find location.

ø Ignore delerichoI really like the format and layout of the Pathfinder AP modules. It's entirely possible that this is just because I've grown used to the format.
I haven't read any of the 4e modules (hardcopy or eDungeon), so can't comment on those, but while I was a big fan of the 'Delve Format' in principle, I found it unappealing in practice.
One format I know I don't like is the 'classic' format used by Goodman Games in "Castle Whiterock" (and I imagine elsewhere also). While it reads well, finding specific information quickly in actual play is likely to be hard - I would much prefer having monsters, treasure, traps, etc all split out under clearly marked headings.

When to Seek Medical CareYou should see your doctor or health-care practitioner if you have symptoms of psoriasis, such as red raised patches of skin with silvery scales, and do not feel comfortable with how your skin looks or feels. Psoriasis is usually a mild inconvenience to most people. However, for others, it may be disabling or painful. The doctor can prescribe treatments that help. If symptoms are treated when they first appear, the condition will usually not progress. When someone with psoriasis visits the doctor, he or she is usually concerned about raised, itchy, red areas on the skin that are scaly or peeling. The individual is typically self-conscious about the plaques or scaly areas and uses clothing to cover the affected skin to avoid being embarrassed in public. Those with psoriasis commonly recognize that new areas of psoriasis occur within seven to 10 days after the skin has been injured. This has been called the Koebner reaction. Sometimes, the reverse occurs in which psoriasis clears after injury to the skin. You should always see your doctor if you have psoriasis and develop significant joint pain, stiffness, or deformity. You may be in the reported 10% of individuals with psoriasis who develop psoriatic arthritis. You also should always see your doctor if signs of infection develop. Common signs of infection are red streaks or pus from the red areas, fever with no other cause, or increased pain. See your doctor if you have serious side affects from your medications.

• The Lottery Commission's Games and Rules Committee tabled a proposal to raise the check-cashing limit at the state's five casinos from $200 to $10,000.
Last month, Commissioner Dave Lemmon, a retired West Virginia State Police superintendent, objected to the increase, even though it was indicated that the maximum amount would come into play only at the casino at The Greenbrier resort.
"We're going to stay with the status quo at this time," Commissioner Michael Adams said Thursday.
Third-party check-cashing services available at three of the casinos are not bound by the limit, although commissioners were told last month those services limit the size of checks they will cash based on the balances in the individual's accounts.
• Revenue at The Greenbrier casino fell sharply in November, dropping from $828,640 in October to $493,974, a 40 percent decline.
Greenbrier video slots revenue fell from $433,105 in October to $277,696, while table games revenue dropped from $394,535 to $216,278. Table games gross receipts dropped from $1.12 million in October to $617,907 in November.
The state's four other casinos experienced small increases in table games revenues for November.
• Lottery Director John Musgrave announced that Toney is retiring this month, after 10 years of service to the Lottery.
• Orcutt advised that there was a winning $1 million Powerball ticket in Wednesday night's drawing sold in West Virginia. The ticket was sold at a convenience store in Harts, Lincoln County.
Lottery officials announced late Thursday that the winner had come forward and would be announced Friday morning.

Fox Sports 1 to air World Cup documentary series
Up to this point, ESPN has basically cornered the market on sports documentaries with its 30 for 30 series, but Fox Sports is about to enter that realm and release six 30-minute documentaries leading up to the 2014 World Cup.
Airing on Fox Sports 1, the documentaries are a part of Budweiser's "Rise As One" promotional campaign, and will tell stories that most casual fans won't already know. Developed by Budweiser and Fox Sports, the films were produced and directed by Scott Boggins and Gabriel Spitzer, who have a combined 15 Emmy Awards.
And the films should be well-received.

What really happens to your good intentionsIt's the same old story: You start out your day with the best of eating intentions but, by lunchtime, that candy bar's starting to sound really good. And dinner? Well, let's just say the pizza delivery guy asked you to come to his wedding. Just as the last few miles of a marathon are the most arduous (or so we hear), your healthy-eating habits tend to break down as the day wears on, finds a new survey by the digital health company Massive Health.
7 Takeout Nightmares
Using an app that lets users send in photos of their meals, Massive Health tracked the eating habits of thousands of people over five months. The results? Most of us hit the wall in our daily race to eat well. In fact, the foods you eat for dinner are nearly 16 percent less healthy than what you ate for breakfast. And get this: For every hour that passes during the day, the healthfulness of the foods you eat drops 1.7 percent.
"These findings don't surprise me," says Manuel Villacorta, RD, author of Eating Free. People tend to eat worse as the busy day wears down their diet resolve, he says. Another culprit: The hunger hormone ghrelin, which can build up quickly when you skip meals, eat too little, or exercise without eating. "Ghrelin makes your hunger spin out of control, and you'll reach for anything you can get your hands on," Villacorta says.
How to Make Friends With Your Scale
The good news is that this eating pattern doesn't have to be your forgone conclusion. Here's how to beat those daily food demons:
Eat breakfast already! No more excuses. The survey found that people who don't eat breakfast eat significantly more food during the day-something no shortage of research confirms. Be sure your a.m. meal includes plenty of protein, says Susan Bowerman, RD, assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. Many women don't eat enough hunger-quelling protein for breakfast and end up reaching for junky treats before lunch, she says. Eggs, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese are all good sources of breakfast protein.
How to Lose Weight All Day Long
Veg it up at lunch. And keep downing the protein, too. "Vegetables are healthy, filling, and low-cal," Bowerman says. Lunch selections like stir-fry with tofu or a salad with beans and hard-boiled eggs are a great way to mix protein with plenty of veggies.
The Healthiest Foods Of 2012
Incorporate snack attacks. Think of healthy snacking as your chance to bridge the dangerous gap between meals, especially the long, perilous afternoon stretch between lunch and dinner, Bowerman says. Pack half a sandwich and fruit, a protein shake, or a bowl of lentil soup for an afternoon snack. "You won't be starving at dinner time, and you can keep the last meal of the day light," she says.

By Lance Soskin, Founder and President of eQuibbly.
eQuibbly is a web application created to help companies resolve their disputes quickly and fairly online. It's known formally as Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). Disputes are resolved entirely online either via mediation or arbitration in a secure private virtual room. Parties can opt for the outcome to be legally-binding and enforceable in court in almost any country.
If you have already experienced the great pleasure of going to court, especially for a full-blown trial, there's no reason to read any further as you're already well-aware that almost any other method of resolving a dispute or conflict is better than the traditional justice system.
Once you hire an attorney, it's extremely difficult to get away with paying anything less than a few thousand dollars for pre-trial procedures, even if it is for small claims court. And if your case goes to trial, you're almost certainly going to be out-of-pocket at least $10,000 and often times tens of thousands of dollars. If that isn't reason enough to convince you to try an alternate route, the time commitment and aggravation involved in pursing litigation surely are.
One alternate route that is growing in popularity is online dispute resolution using arbitration or mediation.
If you meet one or more of the criteria below, it may be time for you to take a closer look at whether online arbitration or mediation may be right for you:
- Negotiation has failed. You have tried to resolve your dispute or complaint on the phone, by email, or face-to-face and were unable to reach a satisfactory solution.
- Meeting in-person is inconvenient. You and the opposing Party live far enough away from one another that there is no convenient place to meet without wasting a lot of time traveling.
- Cost of litigation may exceed your claim. Unless you are independently wealthy, there is little point suing if the cost of litigating might be more than the amount you recover at the end of the ordeal. Many plaintiffs over-estimate their chances of winning and the amount they will recover if they do win. If you're looking for some sense of moral victory regardless of the cost, keep in mind the old saying about 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'; it will likely ring true a year later when you're still trying to make your way through the justice system on your last dime.
- Confidentiality is important. You would like to keep your disputes and your confidential information private. The courts in the U.S. and Canada are open to the public and almost everything you file with the court is public record and subject to public disclosure (other than personal information that can lead to identity fraud).
- You have shopped or socialized online. The online world is part of your everyday life. If you're comfortable shopping, socializing, and commenting on news articles online, you're technologically savvy enough to make use of online dispute resolution.

Jay Zuspan opened 28 South in downtown Hagerstown last year. He focuses on buying produce from regional growers. (By Kevin G.Gilbert/Staff Photographer / March 25, 2013) |
Editor's note: This is part of an occasional series of profiles of local restaurant chefs.
Jay Zuspan III is living a dream. At 28, he's opened his own restaurant — 28 South in downtown Hagerstown — and he's cooking foods the way he wants to.
"My style of cooking is really trying to fuse the old-school, traditional dishes with the modern cooking," he said. "I use fresh ingredients, but I leave things rustic. A lot of chefs will puree their sauces and (strain) them through a chinoise. I like to leave everything in there, the pieces of the shallots and things like that. I like the old-school look."
Zuspan sat down recently with The Herald-Mail in his restaurant, his 4 1/2-year-old daughter, Lucy, playing nearby. He talked about balancing work and being a father, his learning curve as a chef and about his focus on local and regional ingredients.
In The Herald-Mail story on your restaurant's opening, you said you wanted to prepare foods from the Shenandoah Valley and Chesapeake Bay.
My parents were separated. My dad lived in Boonsboro. My mom lived in Massanutten ski resort (near McGaheysville, Va.). They're two similar demographics. I grew up eating hominy, barley, steak and potatoes. On the weekends, living with dad, we'd have Maryland crab cakes, fresh seafood. I wanted to bring those two together (in 28 South).
Are local ingredients a part of your emphasis on regional foods?
Certainly. We buy the majority of our produce from Blue Mountain Farms (in Hedgesville, W.Va). He's at the (Hagerstown City) Farmers Market. We've been getting spinach, and he's planting a lot of stuff. Our spring menu is based off a lot of the produce he's growing for us.
How do you find local producers and develop your contacts?
I used to go to the farmers market a lot. Dave (Elliot, owner of Blue Mountain Farm) and I started talking (last fall). Also, Trickling Springs Creamery (in Chambersburg, Pa.). They carry goat cheese. We purchase it through Dave for our Grand Fromage pizza.
So who is your customer base?
We tried to aim for people in their late 20s to 30s. But we get a myriad of customers. We've been really blessed to have the older folks and the younger crowd coming in at the same time, which you rarely ever see. On weekends, on Saturday, we have a mixed crowd for dinner, then we have bands every Saturday night, when we typically get the younger crowd coming in.
When did you first work in a kitchen?
McGaheysville is at the base of Massanutten ski resort. I started working at Hank's Smokehouse (Southern Grillery) there in high school.
Did you start out in the kitchen?
A dishwasher job opened up. And all my friends were there. I started washing dishes there, and worked my way up. Dishes there are unlike dishes anywhere else. You'd come in at 4 o'clock, and they'd have this three-bay sink (downstairs, in the catering kitchen) piled with dishes. Dishes stacked five feet back. So you knock out those dishes. Then you go upstairs and knock out the lunch dishes. And you'd have just enough time to get your stations set up and grab a bite to eat before the dinner rush. I got so good at time management and multi-tasking that I could go down, knock out the dishes, do the lunch dishes, and then I'd start prepping on the side: I'd peel carrots, cut up potatoes, do little odds and ends stuff. Or if there was no prep to do that day, I'd watch the guy on the fry side, because it was always fascinating. All the cussing and swearing, the piracy going on, the flames.
And you ended up working in the kitchen. Was there anything about Hank's that stuck with you over the years?
I was really fortunate, because they cook from scratch. Didn't know how blessed I was. Because if it had been any other restaurant, like a family-style or diner-style restaurant, I wouldn't've gotten that base.
I worked for them for a couple years. I helped them open the Thunderbird Diner, about a mile away from the Smokehouse. Was there for six months or a year before I went to culinary school in Baltimore — Baltimore International College. Got an associate degree there (in culinary arts).

Silenced: Are Global Trends to Ban Religious Defamation, Religious Insult, and Islamophobia a New Challenge to First Amendment Freedoms?
International & National Security Law Practice Group
Start : Friday, November 4, 2011 9:30 AM
End : Friday, November 4, 2011 2:00 PM
Cannon Caucus Room
Cannon House Office Building
Independence Avenue and First Street, SE
Washington, DC
The 1989 fatwa against Salman Rushdie and the deadly 2006 Danish cartoon riots brought worldwide attention to the issue of Muslim blasphemy bans. Though these events made global headlines, they are only one aspect of the debate about blasphemy bans in recent times. Charges such as "blasphemy," "apostasy," or "insulting Islam" are no longer limited to censoring irreverent caricatures of Islam's prophet, Mohammed. Some maintain that: they are increasingly used as tools by authoritarian governments and others to influence behavior and acquire power.
Our conference speakers will address the prevalence of trends concerning hate speech and blasphemy laws, and whether they pose a serious threat to the freedoms of citizens of the West, including Muslims, as well as people in OIC member states.
Our conference coincides with the release of Paul Marshall and Nina Shea's book, Silenced (Oxford University Press - Foreword by late Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid).

iPhoto and Dropbox
Looking to backup my photos in Dropbox and use iPhoto to organize them. What is the best way to do this? Although I like the way iPhoto organizes photos within the iPhoto application, I dislike the way it organizes photos in Finder when you're not in the application. It makes the photos the difficult to search through if I'm not use iPhoto for whatever reason. My biggest question: Since the iPhoto library has it's own unique file organization system, what does it look like if I try to open my iPhoto library in DropBox?

Nov 7, 2012, 12:44 PM | #2 |
I've only tried on android devices, but there it doesn't open. I export my iPhoto library to DropBox. There's a sync recipe on this web page, I haven't tested this out, though. I just use the export file function in iPhoto and send the images to Dropbox.

Report Staff
As expected the Buccaneers players were overall pleased with their play in the 20-7 road victory over the Miami Dolphins Friday night. Below are some quotes from the players following the game.
Here are some samples from the Buccaneers locker room after the 20-7 victory against the Miami Dolphins.
Tiquan Underwood on what he was able to do in the game:
"We all just try to go out there and play confident. We have been working hard in practice going against each other, so it was nice to come out and play against another team. We felt good out there. We have a few things we need to clean up and work on and we'll do that tomorrow."
Underwood on the jump ball he caught between two defenders:
"Dan Orlovsky put the ball up and gave me a chance. Our receiver coach, P.J. Fleck, says all the time 'every ball is a great ball'. So I just went up, tried to make a play for him and was fortunate enough to come down with it."
Lavonte David on his great special team's stop on a punt return:
"It was just all about coverage. I was able to get down field. There was a lot of open space, a lot of green grass."
David on the last couple weeks of training camp:
"It's been great. It's been a slow process for me but all the linebackers are helping me out. Becoming a rookie, you have to learn a lot of stuff real fast. But they supported me and have been on me about doing stuff right so I really appreciate them for that."
David on what Sheridan has emphasized during the offseason:
"Just try to work hard. Just try to contribute what I can on special teams and defense and just do my job whenever I need to. Fundamentals are a key part of the game. When you get tired… it all comes down to fundamentals."
LeGarrette Blount on the opening drive:
"Our plan coming into the game was to run the football. Run the football and see everything we've been working on. It's real nice to see everything come together and finally get executed the right way. It went really well. Every play panned out the way we wanted it to and we ended up scoring a touchdown."
Blount on his 4th down touchdown:
"Basically you got four chances to get in the endzone. If you don't then they got the ball backed up. If we do then that's even better, that's what we want. We want to put points on the board. We'd rather have seven than three. That's what we want to do in the red zone, run the ball."
Blount on Mike Sullivan's offense:
"Sully's offense is pretty basic. He teaches us a lot of things. It's just a lot of different formations and a lot of different plays that can be ran out of all these formations. This offense is definitely going to get the job done. We're going to take shots down field with Vincent (Jackson) and Mike (Williams) and we're going to run the ball with me and Doug (Martin). So that's pretty much as basic as it can get. I mean, just like Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs and Hakeem Knicks and Victor Cruz. He's just bringing that here. We're looking for the same thing they got last year – a championship."
Carl Nicks on the performance of the offensive line:
"I'm a firm believer that you're only going to be as good as your line is, and that goes for defensive or offensive line. As an offensive line here, being able to protect Josh [Freeman] is important. He's capable of greatness, we just have to give him time."
Nicks on the positives to take away from the first drives:
We work well as a team right now. We have kinks to work out, and some penalties, but, you know, I am believing more and more in [Head Coach Greg] Schiano's method. The way we practice, I felt in great shape out there. We could honestly see that they were tired more than we were."

We did NOT sstink! We had good moments. And just overall watching the team, I felt I was watching solid squad playing as units to get the task done with the exception of the secondary. There was a professional level of cohesiveness that I was very pleased to see. Schiano and the boyz have done a huge amount of reclaiming Buc Ball and Buc Pride in a very short period of time. Very promising.

Did you all see Shiano's reaction when Parker fumbled? I would not want that anger directed my way. Guessing Parker won't do that again. I also watched Shiano on the sideline walking up to staff with both questions and (likely) instruction, deeply involved - ansolutely in charge. It's early, but I'm thinking the team will (eventually) be as good as he is as a coach ... hope that's great! Go Bucs!

The lack of sacks by the D Line is a huge concern and they really need to step it up. Scan the waiver wires or make a trade but just get a D-line that knows how to sack the QB. QB pressures are just that, pressure, and some QB's in this league are very good at throwing on the run.

"I am believing more and more in [Head Coach Greg] Schiano's method. The way we practice, I felt in great shape out there. We could honestly see that they were tired more than we were." -Carl Nicks If anyone has been sitting on the fence about Greg Schiano this should help put some things in perspective. I am so impressed that he has been able to implement a culture change that has bought in rookies and veterans alike. If the team continues to put in this sort of effort, and see these kinds of results, I have no doubt that the Bucs are due for a resurgence behind a tough, principled coach that is instilling a mentality of toughness and accountability.

MIT floats ideas in DARPA balloon challenge (Q&A)
MIT's Riley Crane only found out about DARPA's red balloon challenge a few days before it started. Yet his team went on to win the contest through its savvy use of the Internet.
The challenge posed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency asked people to find the coordinates of 10 red weather balloons floating above the U.S. in one day. Since no one individual could plot the location of all 10, participants had to figure out how to work with others to solve the puzzle.
Team MIT's strategy was to build a Web site designed … Read more

2. I could leave a flashing rig behind with someone at cost ($30-$40), who might then provide the service to others, or do whatever / however they want really.
If you could set it up so that swapping the flash card would allow you to upgrade different modems, and include a flash card for each of the SB612x and DCM475, that would be ideal. I can get you a donor SB612x if you want...
I forget, does the SB612x also use SPI flash?
Peachy. My current automatic rig for the DCM475 flashes both images regardless now too. Also does readback/compare to ensure reliable flashing.
Yeah, even with the DCM475 I noticed flashing became much more stable when switched over to a custom 0.8/1.0 amp 3.3V power supply in the rigs.

Hey guys, I was kind of curious if there was a difference between SB612X-126.96.36.199-SCM03-NOSH and the newer 18.104.22.168. I've been on this firmware for a while but I've been continuously getting random restarts which last for a couple minutes. Not sure if it's due to firmware or not?
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll shoot him a PM
After the ios upgrade on the UBR in May of 2011 all 126.96.36.199's started flapping. You will need at minimum 220.127.116.11 but 126.96.36.199 is what Rogers has pushed out which resolves the channel bonding issue "caused" by the May 2011 ubr update.Everyone will be pleased to know this same update is what caused your SMC D3GN's and pretty much all puma5 based modems to have disconnects. tada! You all know who to thank for that.
Hi Teddy Boom could you help me upgrade my firmwire? My Model number is DMC475. I've tried to PM you but it won't let me.
