The Ryerson & Burnham Libraries constitute a major art and architecture research collection serving The Art Institute of Chicago and scholars in the fields of art and architectural history with more than 500,000 print titles, 100,000 auction catalogs, 1,200 current serial subscriptions, and extensive digital collections. Approximately 10,000 volumes are added annually. All periods and media are covered, but special emphasis is placed on architecture of the 18th through 20th centuries and 19th century painting, prints, drawings, and decorative arts. Special collections include the Percier and Fontaine Collection of 17th-19th century architectural books, the Mary Reynolds Collection on Dada and Surrealism, the George R. Collins Archive of Catalan Art and Architecture, and the Mrs. James Ward Thorne Collection of illustrated books.
The Reading Room ("Open Shelf") collection contains reference bibliographies, indexes, dictionaries, surveys, current periodicals and auction catalogs, as well as copies of Art Institute publications and exhibition catalogs. All other materials are housed in the Libraries' book stacks and must be requested by following the Libraries' paging procedures.
Additional Resources Include:
The Ryerson & Burnham Archives
The Ryerson & Burnham Digital Collections
Institutional Archives of The Art Institute of Chicago
Art books have been purchased by the Art Institute of Chicago since 1879, when each student paid a two-dollar fee for library acquisitions; by 1885 there were 240 books in the collection. In 1900 trustee Martin A. Ryerson donated $50,000 to build a new library. Named after its benefactor, the Ryerson Library was designed by the firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge of Boston and built in a former light court of the 1893 building. The skylight was designed by Louis J. Millet and the decorative color scheme was designed by Elmer Garnsey, who created the decorative scheme for the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress.
In a response to a request in 1905 from W.M.R. French, Director of the Art Institute, for a list of architectural titles that the Institute should purchase, Daniel H. Burnham, architect, urban planner, and trustee, replied with a list of seventy-five titles and stated: "An adequate architectural library is one of the notable lacks in the intellectual resources of Chicago..."1 Burnham died in 1912, bequeathing $50,000 for the creation of a library of architecture. A trustee Committee on Burnham Library was immediately formed to provide guidance for the creation of the Burnham Library.
Although funded separately by the Art Institute, the Ryerson Library and the Burnham Library shared many resources over the years, including a single administrative director. Due to financial necessity, the two libraries merged their operations in 1957 as the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries. 1967 saw the opening of an expanded four-story reading, stack, and exhibition space designed by C.F. Murphy Associates and Brenner Danforth Rockwell. The Art Institute's Department of Architecture was formed in 1981 with the transfer of some 40,000 drawings and architectural fragments from the Burnham Library collections. The Reading Room of the Libraries, which was the centerpiece of the original Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge Ryerson Library, was fully restored in 1994 by Vinci|Hamp Architects (the Louis Millet skylight was restored in 1988).
Additional library history and information on collections can be found in issues of Museum Studies, vol. 13, no. 2 (1988) and vol. 34, no. 2 (2008).
1 This history is drawn extensively from Mary Woolever's "The Burnham Library of Architecture: A History," The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, vol. 13, no. 2 (1988): 107-117, 169-170. Burnham is cited from his letter of August 11, 1905 (Woolever: 107).
The Franke Reading Room, the original Ryerson Library, was designed in 1900 by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, the architects of the 1893 building on Michigan Avenue. It was restored to its original design and finishes in 1994 by Vinci|Hamp Architects and today serves as the main workspace for readers.
Works of art from the Art Institute's permanent collection hang in the American Renaissance space and temporary exhibitions highlight aspects of the Libraries' collections. For a more virtual experience of the Reading Room, explore the Google Art Project.
The names of sixteen significant writers on the history of art and architecture circle the Reading Room in the entablature area below the skylight.

Also there are reports that an additional 1500-2000 more dead were washed back into the Miyagi prefecture with a total of 10000 missing from the roughly 2.3 million residents.
Kubo from Bleach, Kisimoto from Naruto and Oda from One Piece have all confirmed that they are alright.
Still keep Japan in your thoughts for tens of thousands may have died and even more are without food, power, water and shelter.
I will try to keep updating as much as possible though out the week and beyond
I'm happy that there are people who have survived but i can't help but worry for the other's =[
10,000 is alot of people i saw on the news that 3700 have now died, =[
I hope Japan will be allright already.

Sarajevo show - Difference set aside
23 September 1997
Sarajevo show - Difference set aside
Sarajevo show - Difference set aside. A historic day for Sarajevo, the trains run for the first time since the war and U2 fans from every ethinic community head for the same stadium, as do UN troops. A rare moment of unity.
Sarajevo, showday. Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984, and one of the sporting venues was this stadium in which U2 are playing. The stadium itself is in remarkably good condition - nice curving grandstands, lush green playing field and so forth. The same cannot be said of the Zetra Ice Arena next door, which we are using for dressing rooms, offices, catering and so forth. This is the arena where Torville and Dean won their gold medal skating to ëBolero', but now it looks like... well it looks like a bomb's hit it. The top half of its modern tubular metal structure is twisted into a surreal crow's nest of girders and practically all the windows are missing or covered with plastic. However, inside its reasonably functional, if a tad Spartan. The offices were used by the army until one month ago, and all the walls are covered in the graffiti of their farewell notes and poems. Another surprising use for the arena was to house around 3,000 fans for the night after the show. clearly a good many of the audience were not going to be able to get home after the show, so the battered arena's basement was to be used as a huge dormitory.
Other unique events of the day included the running of the first passenger trains since the war. A train full of U2 fans came to Sarajevo from Mostar, and another from Maglaj. The railway system has been potentially functional since last year, but no trains have run because the Muslims and Croats haven't been able to agree on who's going to run them. People came from all over Bosnia and other former Yugoslav republics, in the greatest movement of civilians across this country in years. Special buses brought fans from Zagreb, Ljubljana and even Bosnia's Serb Republic, from where at least 500 fans made a rare journey across the ethnic boundary line into the Moslem-Croat Federation. Even the requirement of Slovenian visas was suspended for the day - one might have expected some cynicism toward the concert from some quarters, but you really felt that the whole country was responding positively to our being there.
Come show time, the atmosphere in the stadium was like the Cup Final meets Christmas morning. One entire grandstand was filled with uniformed troops - not there as a safety measure, but there because they wanted to have a good time. They were singing, dancing and having a high old time, it was quite touching. Like old newsreel footage of the troops coming home and dancing in the street. The show included the first (and probably last) live appearance of all five "Passengers" for the tour's first performance of 'Miss Sarajevo'. Brian Eno was at the show and joined the band on the b-stage to provide some backing vocals and operate the antique wind-up gramophone which was substituting for Luciano Pavarotti. The Edge plyed a solo version of Sunday Bloody Sunday instead of the karaoke, which was another spine tingler.
After the show, as the crowd was leaving a rather curious but very moving scenario occurred. The troops were waiting in the grandstand whilst the bulk of the audience filed out, and somehow spontaneously the crowd began to applaud the troops. This turned into a big cheering standing ovation, and when it was over the soldiers applauded the crowd in return. Beautiful moment.

That depends entirely on the fight. Trinkets are usually a 'swap as per needed'.
I am a little underwhelmed by Throngus Finger though, 1% more parry? That is a little sad. I will say that 1 % parry does increase HtL uptime by quite a bit though, so that is something to consider.

Ten Essential Planning Exercises to Ensure a Smooth Launch
If you are a small business owner thinking about re-platforming, odds are that your rapid growth has left your Ecommerce ecosystem looking like a Jenga® tower on the verge of collapse. Your business needs are growing beyond the means of the platform, yet you continue to push its limits by adding block after block of piecemealed functionality. Pushing the boundaries of the architecture by building ad hoc solutions has created an unstable base that is starting to teeter. With every addition, the entire system becomes less stable, less reliable and more likely to fail.
This degradation of your ecosystem coupled with the growing expectation of a frictionless shopping experience by more sophisticated online retail audiences has you quickly losing marketshare to the competition. So what will transitioning to a mid-market platform do? Re-platforming will not only stabilize your infrastructure, but also empower the business to be more competitive and scale for growth as your business evolves. It provides the ideal opportunity to connect or retool existing and third-party assets and integrations. Ultimately a platforming endeavor should move your site onto an elegantly designed, scalable, rock solid ecommerce platform that maximizes revenue potential.
If the above describes your current situation, then it is officially time to start actively exploring transition strategies. The following Top 10 list will help you start forming a plan of attack.
Brand Labs developed this Top 10 list to help ease our clients' transition from their current platform to Mozu. In combination, these exercises help key stakeholders know the up-front preparation needed to mitigate risk, control costs and drastically improve their sites' speed to market.
1) Define Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives behind a transition to the Mozu platform are the measure of a project's success or failure, and should be considered critical. Write them down, be detailed, and clearly communicate them to your internal teams and partners.
2) Conduct a SWOT Analysis
A SWOT analysis is a structured planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a Mozu re-platforming project.
● Strengths: Characteristics of the new platform that give it advantages over the current
● Weaknesses: Characteristics that place the mid-market platform at a disadvantage relative to the current platform
● Opportunities: Elements that the new platform could exploit to its advantage
● Threats: Elements in the environment that could create challenges for the new platform
3) Perform a Gap Analysis
This involves determining and documenting the difference between your business requirements and current capabilities.
4) Create a RACI Chart
Considering the tremendous number of moving pieces involved in a proper re-platforming initiative and the sizable team behind executing a project of this size, understanding the roles and responsibilities of team members is critical for organization.
5) Gather Requirements
The most important step in controlling costs is gathering proper requirements. Brand Labs leaves nothing to the imagination; detail at a granular level should be specified with the deliverable being an unambiguous and close-ended requirements document that's been vetted by stakeholders. Insufficient requirements gathering will result in scope creep and missed deadlines.
6) Develop a Proper Sitemap
● A sitemap is a list of every page on a website.
● Defining the sites' category structure in sitemap form will allow content to be more easily inventoried and help solidify the content migration plan.
7) Prepare a Content Inventory & Migration Plan
Content migration refers to moving content (e.g., landing pages, product pages. etc.) from the old platform to Mozu. This process requires taking thorough inventory of every page and deciding if and how the content needs to find its way onto the new site.
8) Create Site Wireframes
● Wireframes are a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website.
● A wireframe lacks typographic style,color,or graphics since the main focus lies in depicting site functionality and structure.
9) Have a Data Migration Plan
● By far, the most important and complex exercise on our list;. data migration is the most overlooked and underestimated process in transitioning platforms.
● Brand Labs' migration plans move product and customer information from the legacy platform to Mozu while protecting the data, maintaining data integrity, and allowing for its full utilization on the new platform.
10) Find a Great Partner
Developing solid agency and vendor relationships is a huge part of guaranteeing a successful transition. Align yourself with companies that don't just fit from a technology standpoint, but also meld with your company culture.
Transitioning from an SMB to a Mid-Market platform can seem daunting. By following these ten exercises, you'll find that all the up front preparation will be rewarded with an on-time and on-budget launch.
Is your company having trouble engaging the proper target market? Well, we all know teenagers are the loudest brand advocates and older generations have more purchasing power than most. But, don't forget the Millennials. To highlight this evolving demographic and help ensure businesses can capitalize on their transitional understanding of the World Wide Web, our design team made this insightful infographic on Millennials and their online buying mentality.
Remember, men lie and women lie, but Ecommerce numbers do not. Use these stats wisely and your bottom line could be bulging in no time.

Brand Labs & the Mozu Platform
With Volusion's official unveiling of its new commerce platform, Mozu, Brand Labs is thrilled to finally openly discuss the release with our clients and the entire interweb. Our relationship with Volusion, Inc. as a trusted solutions partner for over seven years allowed us the privilege of early access to "look under the hood" of the Mozu platform. With multiple trips to Austin (Volusion Inc. headquarters) over the past year, we have witnessed the virtual sea of amazing talent working tirelessly on Mozu. The platform promises a limitless enterprise-level commerce solution and we believe that it will deliver.
Why are we so pumped about Mozu?
Brand Labs is fanatical about creating engaging e-commerce experiences and enhancing the Volusion platform for some of the community's top brands. While we maintain and strengthen our commitment to the Volusion platform community, the addition of Mozu allows Brand Labs to flex its proverbial ecommerce muscles in delivering unparalleled creative vision, technical wizardry and strategic direction to our mid- to enterprise-level customers.
How will Mozu allow us to push the boundaries of commerce?
Let's take a quick look at the key feature sets that make Mozu an incredibly flexible / scalable platform designed to deliver a unified shopping experience across web, mobile and retail stores.
1. Commerce + CMS converged:
Mozu combines seamless publishing and content management in a fully integrated experience
Note: Mozu combines the power, flexibility and ease of a CMS like WordPress with enterprise level commerce. Beautiful.
2. Multi-brand, multi-site:
Mozu's infrastructure and integrations allow merchants to manage multiple sites and connect data within one platform
Note: The ultimate in scalability and flexibility… connecting multiple data sources to one platform.
3. Responsive design:
Mozu provides retailers a beautifully seamless design experience for any shopper on any device.
Note: A prerequisite or standard moving forward for any enterprise level client. Responsive design allows Brand Labs to develop design systems resulting in design, development and maintenance efficiencies.
4. Omni-channel optimization:
Retailers using Mozu can efficiently manage all of their e-commerce properties and sales channels via one online admin
Note: One admin folks, it's a must have.
5. Best-in-class usability:
Unlike other enterprise commerce platforms, Mozu creates efficiencies by providing intuitive site building and customer engagement via a simplified, enjoyable user experience
Note: This one is a little difficult to picture without giving you access to an account to see for yourself, but the Mozu team kept the interface simple but powerful.
6. API-first development:
Online retailers can easily connect their existing technologies and limitlessly expand by using the same API technology used to develop the Mozu platform
Note: The API is what allows Brand Labs to really shine technically without limitations. The completely open API allows us to advance the platform and meet our clients every need.
We anxiously await Mozu's official launch on January 13-15, 2014, at the National Retail Foundation's "BIG Show" in New York City (booth #707). As a Mozu agency partner, Brand Labs is poised and ready to deliver the same high level of service the Volusion community has experienced and been accustomed to for years. Intrigued by the platform? Want to know more? We'd love to open up a dialogue on how Mozu and Brand Labs can help you achieve ecommerce success.
Brand Labs does not only deal with ecommerce as a science — as our name implies, we also deal with your company's brand as a science. We've had many customers since we began back in 2006 (500+). Aside from what we already knew about the importance of having a well designed logo, we've learned something else… having a good ecommerce logo design on your website can increase conversions! In the next few paragraphs we're going to explain why having a good looking logo is so important and why it can persuade visitors to make a purchase.
Your company logo is your company's face to the world. It's one of the first things someone will see when they visit your website or look at your product packaging. A unique logo is one of the main ways people remember your company. It should link your website with your marketing materials. It should give those who see it a feeling for what your company does just by looking at it. It should give people a sense of trust to buy from your company.
If your company is a startup, after deciding on a name and a business plan, one of the next things you should consider is having a logo designed by a professional graphic designer. At Brand Labs we pride ourselves on our design abilities. It's one of the reasons we got into building ecommerce sites in the first place. We took a look at so many online stores and saw that they looked terrible. We wondered how they were able to stay in business. We knew that if we weren't comfortable ordering products from websites that used a poorly designed default store template with a logo that was created with a simple font typed in Microsoft Word, then thousands of other people would be nervous, too. We knew that we could help these companies do better, increase site visitors, and increase revenue.
Take a look at some of the logo comparisons below. These companies all came to Brand Labs because of our reputation as an agency that can take their online business to the next level with our expertise in design for ecommerce.
We've seen many studies about how visitors view websites. The majority of people always start from the top left corner and move across and down in a kind of F pattern. Typically, a logo is placed in the top left corner of a website because that is the first place people look. If someone is a first-time visitor to your site, you want to present them with a professional look to make them feel at ease with purchasing something from a company that has been and will be around for a while. If someone is a return visitor, you want them to feel comfortable that they are visiting the same site where they previously had a great online shopping experience. The placement of the logo in your site's header is important to give people that anchor of confidence they need to make a purchase.
You don't need to be a big company and spend a ton of money to have a great logo, but even big companies need to be careful when changing their overall branding strategy. Take Gap as an example. They went through a logo redesign process to try to "modernize" and re-energize their brand. What happened instead was, shall we say, not good and Gap reversed their decision and reinstated the old logo.
It's easy to see why: the new logo lacked character, originality and thought. If you're looking for someone to design a new logo for your company, make sure it is someone that has proven they do great work. However, it is also important to keep an open mind during the design process. While you know more about your company (and probably your target market as well) than the designer you hire, a good designer should know what kind of look and feel will work best for you without jumping on the latest trend. Your logo should be something that will stand the test of time and not need to be redesigned every few years because it's trying to be "hip."
Take a look at your current logo. Ask yourself what it says about your company. Does it look professional? Is it memorable? Is it appropriate for your type of business? If you are unsure about any of these, a redesign might be something to think about. Money spent now on a well conceived, impeccably designed logo will show a return for years and years to come.
Brand Labs goes through an extensive research and design process when we're hired to design a logo. We begin by talking directly to you about your brand and where you want to take it. Even though we'll work through many sketches and concepts internally, we're only going to show you the concepts that we think work best for your company. It's our job to create, through science, what we think will make your company unique in a sea of competition.
Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative Awards Over $60,000 in Prizes
The Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative (EEDI) will award two separate ecommerce service grants in 2012 – each worth more than $30,000 – in their first-ever ecommerce grant competition.
Rochester, MI – Brand Labs – a studio specializing in ecommerce design, marketing, development and programming – has gathered together an alliance of online professionals with the proclaimed goal of "rescuing" the struggling economy by "utilizing the power of ecommerce." The assembled group is called the Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative (or the EEDI).
Google Follows in Brand Labs' Footsteps
Google is, at this very moment, holding their annual developers' conference, which would be big enough news, but they also used the opportunity to introduce their new tablet computer, the Nexus 7 and the odd, spherical media hub called the Nexus Q. Google's entry into the tablet game has been a long time coming, so tech nerds from across the globe were glued to their livestreaming feeds to catch a glimpse – and they also got a glimpse of something else: Brand Labs' ability to stay way, waaaaay ahead of the curve.
In order to demonstrate the Nexus 7′s media-playing abilities, Google chose the new album, Coastlines by Detroit band, FAWN. They even played some of All The Lights, the first track on the album. Now if the name FAWN sounds familiar to you, it may be because they were featured on Brand Labs' only foray into musical & scientific self-promotion – the Audiosonic Identiglyph.
The Audiosonic Identiglyph was created as a universal geolocation system that would allow any user armed with a simple phonograph (or "record player") and a basic, functional knowledge of the Goertzel algorithm and global cartography to be able to locate Brand Labs' corporate offices with some degree of accuracy.
The Audiosonic Identiglyph featured Hip Parade by FAWN on the B-Side and was released in a star-studded brunch gala at Detroit's very own Steak Hut. (If you're ever in town, we strongly recommend Gus's homemade hash browns, which are like little greasy slices of starch heaven.)
So, anyway, the point is that Google is totally on Brand Labs' jock. There. We said it. We had FAWN first. Your move, Google. Bring it.
Also, if you want to catch FAWN, you can do so at the CBGB Festival in NYC from July 5-8. It'll be worth the effort. Brand Labs says so… and now so does Google. What more do you need?
We'll See You at IRCE 2012 Next Week!
That's right – Brand Labs will be exhibiting at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 at McCormick Place West in Chicago, Illinois! We'll be in booth #1133 right next door to our besties, Volusion. Our biggest bigwigs, Kevin Harman and Dane Downer will be in attendance along with senior account managers Katelyn Stanis and Ryan Forrest. They'll be working the booth all day and the dance floor all night. You should definitely drop by if you're looking for some high-quality ecommerce knowledge or some wicked sick dubstep.
Also in attendance will be Pauline Turner, our creative director. She'll be roaming the show floor and attending conferences as part of the Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative street team. She'll be accompanied by an impossibly large hippie who may or may not be some sort of ex-convict that we hired as a temp off of craigslist. If you see them, be sure to ask for the official EEDI swag that they'll be handing out.
So if you're an existing customer, but we've never met in person, come to booth 1133 and say hi! If you're not a customer yet, come by to find out why you should be. As a matter of fact, no matter who you are you should stop by! We can tell you about the huge contest we're about to launch. It's really huge. Like change-the-course-of-your-business huge. It's worth your time.
… and if you see the giant hippie, don't look him directly in the eyes.
Brand Labs is about a lot of things, but our real bread & butter is custom ecommerce development. Yes, we design Volusion sites. Yes, we build ecommerce apps. We do a lot of things for a lot of online merchants, but custom development is the one thing we do that gives our clients an undeniable edge. We say "undeniable" because when your store has something that your competitors don't have, you're ahead of the game before the shoppers even arrive. By definition, you're more prepared to serve their needs. You're more prepared to earn their trust. You're more prepared to win.
… but maybe you don't think you need custom development on your site. After all, Volusion does a good job of providing a feature-rich platform. Why not just do what you can with what you've got? Well, off the top of our heads, we can think of ten reasons…
- You're unique.
No matter what Volusion introduces, they don't know you personally. They don't know the exact thing that you need to express your individuality properly. They don't know your particular value proposition. That's not a failing on their part, it's simply a fact. You are uniquely qualified to identify your store's specific needs and to act on those needs.
- You're not doing everything you can with your Volusion store. You know that smart phone in your pocket? You're currently using about 4% of its total capabilities (we may have just made that figure up). That phone can do amazing things and you're using it primarily to text people that you're running late. Your Volusion store is like that. It can do amazing things that you're currently not using. Are you using the Deal of the Day function? Is your mobile store set up properly? Are you doing everything that Volusion allows you to do out of the box? Probably not. So, if we may continue to use the smart phone comparison: even though your phone is capable of doing a lot of things that you aren't using, you still paid extra to download Angry Birds because it was a specific need that you were able to identify and address (i.e. your deep need to throw birds at pigs). Custom development is like that. You should definitely try to use all of the great functionality that's built right in to Volusion, but just because you're not, that doesn't mean that you can't add some features of your own. Custom development for your Volusion store is just like apps for your iPhone.
- You've got ideas.
Just because we're ecommerce experts (and Volusion is filled with ecommerce experts), that doesn't mean that we (or they) have thought up every single thing than could ever possibly be thunk. You have insight. You have a plan. You know things about your business that we don't, but we definitely know how to act on your ideas. Don't let your ideas die in your head.
- You're probably right.
You know that one thing that you think you know better than anyone else? That one annoying thing that seems so simple and would make your life as an ecommerce merchant so much easier? Or make your store more successful? You're probably right. Why not fix it instead of just letting it drive you insane?
Read the rest of the list after the jump… (more…)
Welcome to Our New Home
If you're reading this, you're looking at our freshly-redesigned, Volusion-centric ecommerce blog (unless you're using some sort of aggregating iPad app or seeing this on our Facebook wall, in which case you're probably going to be cut off any second when we hit the end of the excerpt and if that's true, we humbly request that you click through to the actual blog which you clearly have by now because there are no excerpts that go on this long, so at this point we're just going to go ahead and continue.)
Anyhoo, welcome to our new blog! We've been a little preoccupied with the new site launch, so we have a lot of catching up to do. Keep an eye on this space to see what we've been up to since we last spoke. In the days ahead, we'll be telling you about our new app (yes – another app), our latest custom Volusion development and all of our new Volusion site designs. Speaking of new sites…
Our new blog isn't the only new thing in town. We've also completely redesigned our website. It's sleeker, smarter and loaded with beautiful examples of all of our best and latest design work. We're pretty dang proud of it and we hope that you'll take a couple of minutes to check it out.
On the internal side, we'd like to thank everyone in design, development, marketing and project management – basically the whole team – for pitching in to make the new site happen. You're all simply fantastic!
Now go – enjoy the new site.

The e23 PDF of Pocket Edition is apparently missing the movement and/or turn mode charts.
Also, I have a copy of a better countersheet scan than the one included in the PDF. The scan I have a copy of appears to be of a slightly different printing of the countersheet (e.g., the Base Stattion image is shown in red and blue on the scan I have rather than black and white), but it is the same size, contains exactly the same counters and the die cut doesn't go through the Fed DN images. I'll be glad to e-mail it to ADB if they would like it.

Star Fleet Battles: Designer's Edition, Expansion #1 is now out on e23.
After we converted the original pocket game into a boxed game in the fall of 1979, the wholesalers asked us about doing expansions in order to fully develop the market. This pocket-game-format expansion included about 40 pages of new rules, new ships, new scenarios, new empires, and updates to the previous rules. These included some old-style SSDs, the first X-ships, two new empires (Hydrans and Andromedans), fighters and carriers, and a lot more. Looking back, it's amazing how much new stuff we crammed into this tiny package.
Rules updates allowed plasma torpedoes to fire on any impulse, added proximity fuzes for photons, allowed Tholians to move asteroids around for use as web anchors, allowed ships to shoot at asteroids, created collateral damage for wild weasels, added saucer separations, and defined a lot of things that should have been obvious but apparently were not.
New weapons included displacement devices, TR beams, power absorbers, type-F plasma torpedoes, Gatling phasers, maulers, fusion beams, transporter bombs, and fighters.
New ships included X-ships (Federation CX, Klingon DX, Gorn CX, Kzinti CSX, Hydran X-Ranger, Orion CRX, Romulan KRX, Tholian CX); the Federation Police Cutter; the Fleet Repair Dock (and the entire concept of repair facilities working during a scenario); Klingon CVT and T6; Kzinti CVL and CVE; Romulan Condor, WarHawk, Pelican, and Falcon; Gorn Tug; Tholian Dreadnought, Cruiser, and Black Widow; Orion Heavy Cruiser and Salvage Cruiser; Hydran Ranger and Lancer; and Andromedan Intruder, Cobra, and Courier. There were eight new scenarios and two new mini-campaigns.
Also included was the Gorn sublight battleship, part of the sublight game which has yet to be brought into any new edition.

Here's the link to the boxed set rulebook:
At Origins 1979, we released the Pocket Edition of Star Fleet Battles and it sold out by the fall. We decided to capitalize on success by expanding it into a boxed game released in November 1979. (Back then, pocket games were a new thing and were just not taken as seriously as boxed games.) To save time and work, we just took the rulebook of the pocket game and added pages to the end of it, expanding it from 28 pages to 44 (and effectively just moving the staples from page 14 to page 22). Back then, new SFB rules just got the next number in one big sequence, so you will find weapons rules in two places, scenarios in two places, and ship descriptions in two places. The game was exploding (in more ways than one) and we just kept tacking things onto the end of it. These days, people would expect us to sell a "conversion kit" to bring the pocket edition up to a boxed edition standard, but back then nobody even asked for that. Everyone was happy to (in effect) buy the pocket edition again. We also added a second sheet of counters (these days those are considered half-sheets) and more SSDs (which is those days were lose folded sheets).
The pages from the original pocket edition included all of the core elements that are still the bedrock of SFB: General rules, the first timeline and map, Sequence of Play, Energy Allocation, Movement (including Disengagement), combat, damage allocation, firing arcs, control systems, sensors, scanners, Hull, lab, probes, phasers, photons, disruptors, plasma torpedoes, drones, power (warp, impulse, reactor, batteries), shields, security stations and Klingon mutiny, shuttlecraft, critical hits, leaky shields (which went away in later editions and resurfaced in Federation Commander), damage control, tractor beams, transporters, boarding parties, crew units, emergency deceleration, non-violent combat, super-intelligent computers, boom separation, saucer separation, electronic warfare, and nuclear space mines. (Those rules were updated with a half-dozen errata items found up to that point.)
Federation ships included the Federation dreadnought, command cruiser, cruiser, and light cruiser; Klingon D6 and D7; Kzinti strike cruiser and light cruiser; Romulan Warbird, War Eagle, and KR; Gorn heavy and light cruisers, and the generic base station.
Scenarios included The Duel, Fleet Action, Planet Crusher, Space Amoeba, Base Defense, Sabotage, and Surprise Reversed.
Campaigns included the Captain's Game and Star Fleet Defense Game.
The sublight game (which has yet to be reprinted in later editions)
To this we added 16 pages of Advanced Game material including:
Mass-based Movement: No longer did every ship have a movement cost of 1. The dreadnought slowed down; light cruisers sped up.
Free movement (no more plotting 32 hexes of movement before you saw what the enemy was doing).
Tactical Warp Maneuvers, High Energy turns with breakdown
Kzinti fighters
New kinds of drones (the first step on a long and slippery road)
Anti-drones (only because there was a leftover box on a Kzinti ship and we had no other ideas of what to do with it)
Overloaded photons and disruptors, Gorn swivel torpedo launchers, Ubitron Interface Modules
Federation tug pods (other empires had to wait for their tugs)
New more complicated firing arcs for ships from television
Tholians and their webs, Stasis field generators, Using tractor beams at warp speed
Ground bases, planets, asteroids
New ships in the boxed designer's edition included the Federation scout, destroyer, and tug; the Klingon C8 and C9 dreadnoughts, and the F5 and E4 frigates; Kzinti strike carrier and frigate; Romulan KF5R frigate, Tholian patrol corvettes, Orion raider cruisers, starbases, and freighters.
New scenarios included Piracy, Duel with a Pirate, Pursuit into the Asteroids, Pirates Go for Big Game, Moray Eel of Space, Cosmic Cloud, Assault on a Starbase, The Coming of the Meteor, Cruise Drones, and The Attack of Shuttle Group #26.
Advanced versions of the Captain's Game and Star Fleet Defense Game were included.
All of the charts, tables, and indexes were updated.

While I watched a group of 2-year-olds in an art class, it was striking to see how engrossed they were in their work. The teacher squeezed globs of different color paints on the children�s papers and asked each child where he or she wanted the new color. The children were using rollers instead of brushes, creating the most amazing effects as the colors mixed and the roller changed direction.

- Summary: For nearly forty years, America has been entertained by the trials and tribulations of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. On 5 January 1970, ABC premiered one of their most famous soap operas, "All My Children." The show is famous for dealing with many socially relevant issues reflective of the times. Such issues include abortion, drug use, the Vietnam War, homosexuality, and rape. But it has always done it in a classy and intelligent way, which is why the show has lasted so long and remained so popular. Through good times (Susan Lucci finally receiving a Daytime Emmy) and bad times (including the losses of Ruth Warrick, Louis Edmonds and Frances Heflin), the show has always stuck through.… Expand

By Chris Stein
Somehow I now associate images from that great 1976 issue of Punk magazine, "Legend Of Nick Detroit," to the famous headline, "Ford to City: Drop Dead," published in the Daily News the previous year. New York City was in decline at the time (well, actually even earlier) and I had had visions of young people playing in the rubble, among the skeletons of the city. For the downtown crew that I was a part of, a ride on the Staten Island ferry was like an excursion into the wildest nature.
|Anya Phillips and Debbie Harry, Staten Island ferry, New York City. Graphics by John Holmstrom, "The Legend of Nick Detroit." © Chris Stein
Today the "Legend Of Nick Detroit" might be construed as performance art but in 1976, I'm not sure if it had a classification. Cartoonist John Holstrom did the artwork on the photos.
Anyway we wound up on the ferry acting out the shootout twixt Nick and the Nazi Dykes, who were sort of villains. Debbie Harry and Anya Phillips went down in a hail of cartoon bullets. Anya was one of the movers and shakers of the burgeoning New York underground rock scene but that's another story...
Chris Stein is co-founder and guitarist of Blondie and also a photographer. See his images in the Who Shot Rock & Roll exhibit, currently showing at the Annenberg Space for Photography.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We are delivering Christmas baskets to the neighbors this afternoon. I've just made a last minute addition to them because they weren't quite full enough to achieve the look I was aiming for. I decided to use these anise flavored biscotti as a filler because, while they are delicious, they are also very easy to make. As it happens, they're also one of my favorite cookies and I liked the thought of holding a few of them back for my own consumption. They are wonderful with a cup of coffee and it is a near perfect treat for those of us who don't like our desserts to be too sweet. The cookies have a mild licorice flavor that is a perfect way to end a meal. I have one caution to share with those of you who plan to give this recipe a try. The dough is very soft and I've found it best to form the logs on prepared cookie sheets rather than attempt a transfer from the counter to the pan. You'll also want to form long, narrow logs because this is a dough that spreads and will encroach, amoeba-like, on its neighbor if given half a chance. I do hope you will try this recipe. This biscotti would be a perfect addition to your holiday cookie tray. Here's how they are made.
Anise Biscotti...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Carroll Pellegrinelli at about.com
3-1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups sugar
10 tablespoons (1-1/4 stick) butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon anise extract
2 teaspoons ground aniseed
1 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted, hand-crushed
1) Preheat to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2) Mix flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk.
3) Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in anise extract and ground seeds.
4) Gradually add flour mixture until well combined. Hand stir in almonds.
5) Divide dough in half. Shape into two logs, about 12-inches long, and place on baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pans to wire racks for cooling. Let pans sit until biscotti are completely cool, about 25 minutes. Slice logs diagonally into 1/2 to 3/4-inch slices.
6) Discard parchment paper, and place log slices, cut side down on baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Turn and bake for 8 minutes longer, or until just beginning to color. Biscotti can be made 1 week before you plan to serve them if they are stored in an airtight container. Yield: 2 dozen biscotti.

So far, I love this dishwasher. Seems to hold more dishes than my last dishwasher and runs fairly quiet.

I absolutely love this dishwasher, especially the turbo clean feature. Stainless steel tub wears well, and much quieter than my previous machine. Lots of adjustability in the racks to get even my most awkward shaped casserole dishes in.

Got a great deal on this, does excellent job of cleaning, is much quieter than the unit it replaced. Really impressed by the Turbozone feature, tried it with a casserole dish left (purposely) overnight with baked on cheese. It passed that test with flying colors, came out completely clean and sparkling. Only had it a couple of weeks, but so far no complaints. I do wish the silverware basket was customizable instead of one long unit, as my previous one was, then it would be perfect.

Please note people that the racks are not nylon. Maybe they are nylon coated but a magnet should not stick to nylon. The silverware rack may be nylon but most of the racks are steel with a coating just like my old dishwasher. The dishwasher is much quieter than my 20 year old fancy Kenmore unit that it replaced. The unit does make some low tone noises that sound like our garage door is opening but it is not loud. Just a low tone. I tried using the dishwasher without the Jetdry rinse aide but the dishes would not dry. It really must be used to aid in getting the water off the dishes. The dishes get much dryer if you crack the door open after the unit shuts off and let them air dry for a few hours. This is with or without the heated drying option. Not sure why my other dishwasher dried better using no heat. I reviewed other dishwashers and think this is a common problem with the new energy efficient models. I only have 2 people in the house and wash about twice a week. I like the 1 hour wash option because the sound is more constant. The regular long cycle sounds like it turns on and off a lot to save energy and use the 2 hours to help soak the dishes clean. I would rather hear a constant hum than a start and stop all the time. It cleans well with the 1 hour wash but I do not put the dishes until they have had a quick rinse/sponge. I have not tried the Turbo option so I can't comment on that. The Stainless interior looks nice. I like the removable silverware rack compared to some models that have it in the door. I think KitchenAid makes this unit. Their interior looks the same. The dishwasher seems like it hold just as much or more than my old unit. I have not used the adjustable rack height yet. I got this thing for $535 minus $50 coupon code for using my Sears Card so it ended up about $485 plus tax.

Cleans very well and very spacious. Doesn't dry completely, but does a better job if you use a rinse agent. I haven't tried yet but it might help to open the door after the dishwasher has finished running.

Thieves steal a purse and go on a shopping spree, using a medical debit card to buy televisions.
"About 2:30 in the morning, I suspect." Kari regrets leaving her purse under the car seat, even in her own Gretna driveway. "I had a wallet inside my purse I don't have anymore."
Investigators hope to find the suspects who bought $3,000 in merchandise in a four-hour span. Kari was surprised to discover the suspects purchased electronics at one of those automated checkout stands, using her medical debit card intended for prescriptions.
Kari says flat screen TVs aren't what the doctor ordered. "Three o'clock in the morning, four o'clock in the morning and they were hauling out TVs and never got questioned."
Health Savings accounts are used to pay for doctor visits and medical expenses, but Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska warns that if stolen, those cards can be swiped for almost anything. "You need to treat them just like a debit card or credit card," says Andy Williams with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska. "If you lose one, report it immediately because they can be used for anything else."
Since the purse theft, Kari has traced all the stores and gas stations where the thieves used her card, gathering security camera shots along the way. "Seems like the only way you can find out who they are is by somebody recognizing them from the pictures."
Her identity stolen, Kari says she could now use her Health Savings card to pay for a blood pressure check. She's filed a claim with her bank in hopes of getting the money back.
If you have any idea who the suspects are, call Sarpy Crimestoppers at 402-592-STOP.

WASHINGTON - Extra cellphone towers are being installed on the National Mall to handle the heavy use expected from smartphones during the presidential inauguration.
The Washington Post reports ( http://wapo.st/TCbtDD) officials are trying to prevent the kind of overload of the wireless system that was caused by the huge crowd four years ago.
Sen. Charles Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, says they're taking measures to ensure people can call, tweet and post messages on Facebook because the inauguration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
AT&T says it will have nine temporary cell towers running the length of the mall and others along the parade route. Last time it had only "a couple."
Sprint says it has three temporary towers around the mall and another system to help with emergency communications.

I made a new friend over the past weekend, but he lives in the snow. What?! Tim and I went snowshoeing in Washington state on Saturday and while eating our lunch we noticed all of these super tiny buggies cruising around on the surface of the snow. And by tiny, I mean microscopic! The macro feature on my camera allowed for a semi-decent photo of one of the buggies. Check him out!
Cute as heck, right? I wonder how they survive, what they eat, how they keep warm? In all of our snow adventures, we've never noticed these bugs before… Maybe it's a sign of who will control the future of our planet?
Our lunch consisted of sandwiches filled with Tofu Kale Spread (a test recipe), and a bunch of dried fruits Tim and I dehydrated! We also made our own tofu jerky (super yummy!!!!), but I didn't get a picture because we I ate it up too fast. Anyway, in the photo below you will see dried kiwi, pear, apple, and banana.
And finally, here are some more test recipe photos:
Cinnamon Graham Crackers - These are so simple to make, and so delicious
Butternut Drop Biscuits with Cranberries – Perfect with soup, or with tea for breakfast, and pretty too
Veggie Curry Feast and Paratha - If you enjoy meals in a bowl, then this one will make you happy
Tempted? You should be!!!!

Better learning, a whole life long: Education starts long before school does and it never ends, since education is much more than mere knowledge. It's the basis for a fulfilled life and for participating effectively in society. A vital democracy needs as many well-educated, proactive citizens as possible. Moreover, increasing global competition and cultural diversity are presenting our educational systems with new challenges. We must increase the quality of education, providing access to individualized learning from birth on as a way of ensuring equal educational opportunities. Everyone must have the chance to continue learning in every stage of life. When we invest in education, we are ensuring society's future while simultaneously promoting integration and civic engagement.
Focus Areas
Early Childhood Education
Children in Germany must be given better educational opportunities during their preschool years, opportunities that reflect each child's individual background. To ensure this happens, new cross-institutional approaches must be implemented that focus on both parents and children as youngsters make their way from one educational stage to the next. The Bertelsmann Stiftung's projects in the area of Early Childhood Education are specifically designed to meet these goals.more
As the world grows more complex, education becomes the prerequisite for participating effectively in society. We are committed to ensuring that young people are in a position to take responsibility for themselves and to assist others. Our projects focus on helping schools to further develop both their overall outcomes in general and students' classroom experiences in particular. In addition, our projects strive to create an educational system that is as equitable as it is effective.more
Libraries are an important part of the educational landscape. Their modern media and strong customer focus make them an essential component in the information society of today and tomorrow.
Education and Training
Our goal is to ensure that each young person has access to the best possible educational opportunities. Students should have the broadest range of developmental possibilities available to them – regardless of whether they want to take up a vocation or trade or go on to university.more
Lifelong Learning
Education takes place in other settings besides school and it continues long after graduation. In today's world, people must be able to pursue their interests and develop their skills during every stage of life; in addition, they must be able to participate actively in society even in later years. Our ELLI monitoring tool is designed to highlight opportunities for lifelong learning while providing the transparency necessary for comparing them.more
Investing in Education
When it comes to education, cost-saving measures can be expensive. Social inequalities result in educational inequalities, including inadequate access to a quality education. Each child grows up in different circumstances, and each requires different resources as a result. In order to ensure that the available means are used as effectively as possible, accurate information is needed on current needs and on which investments are achieving the desired results. Transparency, achieved through educational monitoring, is thus a prerequisite for ensuring that any investments made are effective and that they increase equal opportunity among learners.more
Participation and Values
If they are to find their way in society, young people need both cognitive and social skills, as well as the information required for making appropriate life choices. By taking a holistic approach focusing on civic, social and intercultural skills, the Bertelsmann Stiftung's educational projects are designed to encourage each child to become an active member of society.more
