So, recently I have noticed that you have attempted to implement an influx of CCG elements into the RPGs you are releasing. I have some feedback of this, and not all of it is negative. Let me start by saying that I hate CCG elements in my RPGs. My post is written from that perspective. If WotC starts to include too much of a CCG element in its RPGs it will lose me as a customer. The rest of my post is going to go over one product that I will not be purchasing (Gamma World), and one product that I believe is smartly implemented, and that doesn't turn me off of D&D despite being a CCG element (fortune cards). I want to give you feedback so that you can, hopefully, better understand what does and does not turn off some of your customers.
One product you are releasing has already included too much of a CCG element in it for me to consider purchasing it. I am specifically talking about Gamma World. I would have LOVED to purchase Gamma World. Then I found out that it will be distributing mutations (and maybe items too?) via randomized booster packs that contain a rarity system. Since mutations are a key part of Gamma World, that means that I cannot ignore that aspect of the game. What is more, if I would want to purchase extra splat material (in the form of mutations) for the game I would be forced to do so by engaging in the experience of purchasing collectible randomized booster packs. To me, this is totally unacceptable; a facet of the rules that I cannot reasonably ignore, and that I can only fully engage in if I am willing to engage in the experience of buying CCG booster packs, will turn me off a product.
You are also, however, releasing fortune cards. I wanted to congratulate you on finding a way to include a CCG element to D&D without turning me off the brand. I also wanted to explain why I percieve a difference. The mechanics of fortune cards are fully optional. The rules behind fortune cards are not found in any of the PHB rule books. The "fortune" mechanic is not like a classes powers, magic items, or some other mechanic that can not be reasonably excluded from the game. It is an extremely modular element that individual groups can choose to engage in or not, as they see fit. This makes it easy for this CCG element to coexist with D&D without turning me off the brand.
WotC, if you are looking for a way to market a CCG element to your RPGs without turning away potential customers who have sensibilities similar to mine, fortune cards are the way to go. Keep rules related to the cards out of your RPG books. Make the cards a modular and optional element that can be plugged into an RPG game at the discretion of the group playing the game.
Which brings me onto the topic of the Ravenloft game you have said you plan on releasing. First of all, thank you SOOO much for making a 4e Ravenloft RPG! Ravenloft rocks. Second of all, please don't include a "mandatory" CCG element ala Gamma World! Yes, I realize you are not trying to market the booster packs of Gamma World as mandatory. Someone is bound to reply to this post by saying, "you can play with just the boxed set; you only need to buy new booster packs if you want to expand your collection." While technically true, that claim is disingenuous. All of us like to expand our RPG collections. If we didn't, this wouldn't be a profitable industry. Buying a game with the knowledge that you won't be able to expand your collection (because you are not willing to engage in a CCG booster pack buying experience) while other players will (because they will be willing to engage in a CCG booster pack buying experience) is exactly what turns me off of RPGs that include CCG elements in them. The only way to avoid that sensation is by making the CCG elements of an RPG you are producing completely modular, and self contained within the purchase of the booster packs themselves. The fortune mechanic does not exist in D&D 4e unless you buy fortune cards. They are modular, and easy to ignore if that sort of thing (or rather that sort of distribution model) is not your cup of tea. If you want to implement some sort of CCG element to your Ravenloft RPG, please do so via this mechanic.
Which brings me to my fear. My fear is that you will implement a CCG element into Ravenloft via fear, madness, and dark gift cards. Don't get me wrong, using cards for fear, madness, and dark gifts is a really smart idea! You have a deck of fear cards, a deck of madness cards, and a deck of dark gift cards. Any time a player commits an evil action you give them a dark gift cards. A player that earns a certain number of dark gift cards becomes an NPC. Any time an event happens in game that causes fear or madness you hand a player a fear or madness card (which inflicts some negative effect). By this means you manage to capture the random quality of fear, madness, and dark gifts from 2e (and 3e) Ravenloft. But if you make splat material available only via randomized booster packs, you make it so that consumers who would like to own a complete set of all the "mandatory" Ravenloft material must engage in a CCG booster pack buying experience. (And I say mandatory, because lets face it, madness, fear, and dark gifts, are not a facet of Ravenloft that can be reasonably ignored). This would be a huge turn off to me. I would gladly buy packs of non-randomized cards. But removing my ability to collect an entire set of Ravenloft's "mandatory" rules without engaging in a randomized purchase model will really upset me.
So anyways, that is my 2 cents, and my consumer feedback. Toodles, have a nice day, and good gaming! I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

In the 1910s and 1920s, when the Clark brothers began collecting European art, Impressionist paintings were becoming increasingly popular with American collectors. Sterling eventually acquired a broad range of works by most of the prominent Impressionists, works that soon formed the heart of his collection. These artists, he felt, had inherited and updated traditional Renaissance painting techniques. Stephen collected in this field much more selectively. He once commented to a dealer that "the Impressionist School does not interest me tremendously," but he did seek out singular masterpieces by artists such as Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas.

Microphone Response in a Closed-Loop System
A closed-loop audio system can be defined as one in which the loudspeaker is in the same space as the microphone. As such, some sound from the loudspeaker will mix with the source creating an interference pattern. The interference is dependent on the path length from the loudspeaker back to the microphone, the amplitude of the interfering signal, and the latency of the forward-fed signal. This paper will investigate this interference and its effect on the output response of the microphone.

DALLAS (AP) The Dallas Police Department is adding oversight to its troubled training academy that is facing allegations of lower standards and possible racial bias.
The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday (http://bit.ly/1irzQ3J ) that a new chief deputy will take over at a time of a widening in-house investigation of the academy's procedures.
An internal affairs investigation is looking into why and how the scores of recruits were lowered. Police Chief David Brown has also suggested that the race played a role over a male recruit who allegedly was repeatedly allowed to take tests until he passed.
One top trainer at the academy was placed on administrative leave this week after a state audit found that a male recruit's test score had been intentionally lowered.

The 7 Deadly Claims (Part 5) — "100% Risk-Free"
Posted By Jeff Sexton On January 8, 2008 @ 10:42 am In Articles,Branding,Copywriting | 18 Comments
Want to sound like an innnnfomercial?
Want to make your product or service sound too good to be true, and in a way that adds no value to the sale?
Then this deadly claim is for you.
But wait, there's morrrre!
Not only will "100% Risk-Free" put you in the august company of infomercial Valhalla, it'll even alienate your readers, causing them to suspect all your other claims as well!
Now, you're probably saying to yourself, "Jeff, that's amazing! But how can 100% Risk-Free possibly do all of that?"
(Switches out of Guy Smiley voice)
Allow me to explain…[1]
First of all, time is frequently more valuable to your audience than money [2]. So even if you're offering a free trial, your audience still feels considerable risk. And that disconnect between the risk your audience feels and your website's "100% Risk-Free Guarantee" kills your credibility — especially as your visitors (consciously or otherwise) ponder the following questions:
Want to see a company who gets this? Visit Zappos.com [3]. Here's how they address each of these time vs. risk bugaboos:
If your website is pitching services (not products), you'll need to slightly modify these steps. Still, it's easy enough to see how comprehensive demos do the same thing as product photos, or how case studies could accomplish similar persuasive goals as reviews, etc. And for services, the second point is even more important than the first.
Customers are way too used to being ripped off by catch-22's, fine print, and outright cons [4]. Worse, in the face of this aggravation, almost nobody's Web copy closes all the loopholes. Fail to answer the following questions and you'll be presumed guilty without ever getting the chance to prove yourself innocent:
Like all of the other Deadly Claims, the first step in fixing this one involves seeing your visitors as real. Determine their true concerns and then address them with specific, substantiated claims [5]. Lay off the generalizations and let your visitors come to their own conclusions based on the specifics. In other words, "Show, don't tell."
UPDATE: Read Jeff's follow-up article, "Infomercial Marketing Techniques that Work (or Your Money Back!) [6]"
Read more about the 7 Deadly Claims at your own risk…

Jeff and Holly will be your instructors for this first-ever West Coast edition of our popular one-day copywriting crash course.

At the weekend we went for a lovely nature walk, ready to explore and forage.
Luke had lots of fun climbing on everything he could find, and I simply enjoyed watching him whilst taking photos of the nature around me.
We brought some containers, and collected some blackberries, elderberries and rosehips. We also had our foraging book and attempted to identify some plants which we weren't too sure about. It's a good way to learn, and definitely brought back lovely memories from our homeschooling days.
I've been busy making a raw blackberry crumble, elderberry syrup and homemade rosehip oil. (I'll add the recipes soon!)

Rory McIlroy has denied all claims that his relationship with Caroline Wozniacki is over – but newspapers in Ireland are again reporting that the big romance is finished.
McIlroy, in New York for the Barclays Championship, claimed on Saturday that all is well with his love life.
But the Sunday Independent newspaper in Dublin has claimed that tennis ace Wozniacki is 'utterly distraught' according to friends after the 'break-up'.
The paper has repeated claims made by the Irish Sun on Saturday that McIlroy ended relationship after more than two years together.
A friend told the Sunday Independent that a besotted Wozniacki has found the break-up to be 'very difficult'.
A source close to McIlroy also told the Sunday Independent yesterday: "They're done, it's over."
McIlroy denied the split however when interviews by the New York Post on Friday night after his second round at The Barclays event in New Jersey.
He said: "Uh-huh, yeah, it's all good. Just because we changed our Twitter profile picture doesn't mean that we're not together. But yeah, it's all good."
Friends of the pair believe their split sparked the decision to change their profile pictures on Twitter.

High Efficiency Switching Power Amplifiers Based on DC-to-DC Convertors
A new principle of switching power amplifier by S. Cuk has been verified and improved. For instance mutual inductances have been introduced to provide a continuous ripple control. Also the load has been connected in a different way. It is shown that even VMOS power devices do not provide yet a sufficient power bandwidth (7kHz). Also the excessive voltage and current ratings on the power devices and on the energy transfer capacitances this design to be of limited practical use.

True haiAnswered by Quest, 12 Apr '13 12:02 pm
Yes true to a great extent. But mostly these days when you say sorry, genuinely sorry, it is not accepted because even if you might have committed a small mistake and sometimes unintentionally at that, the sorry is not accepted and you are told "Bas sorry bol diya aur baat poori ho gayi". In one instance I told one guy that if that was the case then he was free to punish me in whatever other manner he feels suitable because I can only say sorry. He was raging, using filthy language and blaming me. So I even gave him the option to hit me to which he responded "Ye Gandhigiri nahi chalegi". I was stupefied, he was abusing me, telling me that he will bring goondas to my house beat me up bad. I requested him to bring the goondas there and then as they were two people, one can go and other can keep an eye on me. In fact I was even willing to give him my house address but he continued abusing me. Finally, I ran out of patience because I had other works to do, kicked my bike and moved on a ...moreAnswered by Manoj Adwani, 12 Apr '13 11:45 am

The calves are OKJerry Wade takes good care of his cattle, including the ones used by 250 teams in the Stock Show's team roping competition and about 275 cowboys who vie in the tie-down roping.Two-year-old calves that were lassoed about the horns in team roping Monday in John Justin Arena, for instance, were fitted with horn wraps so the tough lariats wouldn't burn them as the noose tightened."We brought 200 calves for today and tomorrow," said Wade, owner of Jerry Wade Cattle Co. in Terrell, a Stock Show contractor. "I try to be as good to them as I can. I want to use them, but not abuse them." — Terry EvansStock Show goes pinkBreast cancer survivors will find a lot of support today at the Stock Show and Rodeo.Fans, contestants and performers in everything from the tie-down roping to the Campfire Stories to the rodeo itself who want to show solidarity with the survivors will join them in wearing pink.It's the seventh year in a row for FWSSR Goes Pink Day.Half the proceeds from Stock Show general admission and rodeo ticket sales will be donated to Susan G.

November 26, 2014
WINTERS, Calif. (AP) - Police are searching for a 30-year-old man suspected in the fatal shooting of his former girlfriend in a quiet farm town in Northern California.
The Sacramento Bee reports that police in that 32-year-old Leslie Pinkston was shot multiple times Monday morning while sitting her vehicle.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for William Carl Gardner, Pinkston's former boyfriend, and were asking the public to help find him.
After the shooting, schools were locked down in the small town of about 7,000 people in Yolo County. Local bus service was also halted.
Witnesses told police they saw a pistol-wielding man fleeing the scene.
Police said they believe the shooter fled the area in a tan van.

Besuited cubicle monkey trashes office
30 seconds missing
Note the timestamps in the lower right.
It turns 12:11 at about :51 seconds in. The "glitch" occurs and video comes back up at 12:12 (at 1:21 in). 12:13 arrives at 2:21, suggesting that the video resumed at exactly 12:12. So that brief blackout actually lasted ~30 seconds.
Could just be a case of editing out a 30-second camera failure, but that sure doesn't do a lot to help its credibility.
Is the earth getting warmer, or cooler?
how painful
The article was bad, but the comments go beyond that into the ridiculously painful.
Mr. Goddard, I (like yourself) am not a climate scientist. But it's not that hard to find explanations for these corrections.
For instance, see http://www.marshall.org/article.php?id=312 and its references at the bottom.
As I understand it, the corrections made were due to a drift in the orbits of the satellites, resulting in a mistiming of the readings. Obviously if you're erroneously attributing early-evening readings to mid-afternoon (or something similar) you're going to need to correct upwards when you discover the problem.
Hardly the stuff horrible secret conspiracies are made of.

@Sam Lidcott
"Which was my point; except that at least the pro-ghosts think they have some kind of evidence, but the champions of rationality try and prove a negative by disproving the evidence, which hardly helps the cause of rationality."
Saying there are more likely to be rational explanations is FAR from trying to prove a negative. There's no need to disprove their story, because it's nonsense. But since many of us are not big fans of nonsense, people offer alternative explanations that are based in reality and not some fairy tale. If it turns out the fairy tale is true, then great, but it's up to them to prove it.
Or we could change to your mindset in which apparently every conceivable explanation is equally valid and we all ignore the accumulation of human knowledge over the past several millenia.
Since that seems fun, I propose that it was invisible leprechaun astronauts. They're well-known for their foul breath and love of phone phreaking.

US State puts violent videogames under scrutiny
Wait a second, the hearing was yesterday? The day when every lawmaker and reporter in the state was focused on the hearings about potentially legalizing gambling and introducing casinos to Massachusetts?
Wow, hard to be more buried in the news cycle than that.
Truth be told, nobody but Menino, a few dumbass state reps, and the ever-shrinking right-wing hack Boston Herald newspaper give two shits about this issue.
IPCC's 'evil twin' launches climate change sceptic's creed
Not even a scientific conference.
The Heartland Institute paid $1000 to anyone willing to give a speech, as well as paying for their hotel, expenses, and travel costs. Hmm, I don't hear of that happening at a lot of scientific conferences.
Furthermore, the document the NIPCC produced is "the work of 23 authors from 15 nations, some of them not scientists." (As compared to the IPCC's hundreds and hundreds).
According to the New York Times, "when an organizer made an announcement asking all of the scientists in the large hall to move to the front for a group picture, 19 men did so."
C'mon guys, it was just a stupid PR stunt by those whose political interests are served by denying climate change. It's hardly even deserving of argument.
This reminds me of when you'd get 100,000 people protesting against the war, and the media would give equal time to the 300 crackpots across the street protesting in favor of the war.
Cool Rules for the FCC: In the Lions's Den

"No one has suggested that Comcast's management of BitTorrent caused any harm: as a Comcast subscriber and BitTorrent user, the practice kept the application running well, without degrading the rest of the neighborhood."
Okay, as a Comcast subscriber and BitTorrent user, I hereby suggest that Comcast's management of BitTorrent causes harm.
If you're unable to seed, it harms the operation of the program (it may keep "running well" for downloads, but if your goal is to distribute something that's little comfort). If every ISP followed Comcast's lead it would kill BitTorrent totally. That sure seems like harm to me.

A robot that incorporates organic components to become more human. The opposite of a cyborg, a human who replaces body parts with mechanical or electronic components. Simply, a robot that strives to be human. Similar to Android.
Famous cybots include the Terminator and Star Trek's "Data." All cybots struggle with the nature of humanity and strive to become more human.

Happy birthday, Paul Pierce (and Doc Rivers, and Jermaine O'Neal)
I'm busy today with other, work-related, things — yes, a couple people have actually been dumb enough to employ me — but I still need to address Paul Pierce's birthday. Jermaine O'Neal and Doc Rivers (not to mention Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, whose team hopefully loses this Sunday) were also born on October 13, but Pierce holds a place in my heart above even Doc.
So on the 34th anniversary of Pierce's birth, I'd like to remind everyone how far Pierce has come. Back when Pierce butted heads with coaches, spatted with teammates, lost his cool at the worst times and occasionally went to press conferences with a bandage over his head — back when Bob Ryan called Pierce's flagrant foul against Jamaal Tinsley in a 2005 playoff game against Indiana "the single most unforgivable, untimely, stupid, and flat-out selfish on-court act in the history of the Celtics" – who ever would have expected Pierce to grow into a selfless teammate, a true leader, and one of the few NBA superstars who cared enough to represent the players union at labor negotiations?
Sure, Pierce still settles for occasional ill-advised stepback jumpers at the end of close games. He sometimes takes a few plays off, I wish he would rebound more consistently, and his ability to grow facial hair leaves a lot to be desired. But he's come 180 degrees from that day against Indiana, from the time when it was semi-reasonable for Celtics fans to hope Pierce would be traded. He was immature, a little bit of a gunner, a loose cannon. And now he's matured into Paul Pierce, The Captain, the star who reshaped his game for the good of his team, the Celtic who grew in Boston perhaps more than any other.
I've written about my favorite Pierce moment before, but let me do it once more. It isn't a game-winning shot. It isn't him holding up a trophy. It isn't him scoring 38 points and out-dueling Kobe Bryant in the '08 Finals.
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Semifinals that same year, Pierce toed the foul line with 7.9 seconds left. The Celtics led 95-92 and realistically would seal the win if Pierce made one of two foul shots. Pierce had already scored 39 points and held his own in a mano-a-mano matchup against Lebron James. Just one make, and his Celtics would head to the Eastern Conference Finals to play the Detroit Pistons. The TD Garden crowd waited anxiously.
The first shot wasn't one of Pierce's best. Maybe a little overeager, he put more power behind the shot than he would have liked. It hit the back rim hard, and had no chance to fall through the hoop. But it bounced straight up, then fell straight down. Later, Pierce would say the ghost of Red Auerbach guided it through the rim.
The free throw was good, the Celtics were moving on, and Paul Pierce stood at the foul line, his face adorned with a smile so big, so wide, so genuine, that it could only come from someone who treaded water in defeat for so long, someone who cherished every second of his team's revival because he knew how badly it beat where he came from, because he knew how difficult championship opportunities can be to come by.
Happy birthday, Truth. We love you, my man, even if you're locked out.

Sad thing is he'll probably be replaced by Geno and have the benefit of MM & Lee which will bolster their belief that it was all Sanchez. Meanwhile teflon Rex will look like a genius for selecting MM ( 2 years too late).
3rd didn't work, he tried to fix it.
4th year was worse... He fixed it.
People act as if we've been horrible from the moment Rex arrived.
Looks like he's learning how to be a pretty good HC to me, and I know I'm not the only one.
And I am FAR from a "kool aid fan"
The HC is also responsible for developing the players on his team. Not just the defensive players, all the players. He did not help in the development of Sanchez. Starting with hiring his buddy as QB coach to not pushing to develop a team and game plan that maximized Sanchez strength.
Here is another Newsflash, under MT, the head coach had a lot of say as to the players that were drafted. Is it coincidence that under Mangini MT had far more hits than misses compared to the players MT picked under Rex?
Serious non related question to you. How good of a season do you think Bey will have as the #2 in Indy?
If you don't have the horses how is it your fault? To those who blame Rex, where exactly do you think he went wrong coaching this group, how could he have made them the offense that you wanted. The simplistic answer is to not think and just blame Rex.

Bottomz Up
The name, the waitresses in short-shorts, the 50 flat-screen TVs: Bottomz Up in Carle Place appears be aiming a bit lower than the intellect. But the restaurant boasts a smart, ambitious menu from well-credentialed chef Adam Goldgell as well as a dinnertime satellite sushi bar from the nearby Shiro of Japan.
