Lights out time has been a problem for our troop. Lights go out at maybe 11:00 (to late in my opinion) but the chatter continues can take another half hour of adults telling the boys to be quite to settle them down. The SPL seems to be one of the worst offenders as well. No discipline no consequences. Well there are consequences for my son as he is a 10 hour a night kid and if he doesn't get them he does not do well and has had several meltdowns on Sunday mornings which I am certain are from lack of sleep (probably less than 8 hours). After a full day of activities he could probably use more than 10. The troop we visited last October did not have this problem, they boys just went to bed, no adults hounding them and no constant chatter.

How does your troop manage lights out ?Tags: None
How does the programme work on your camps?
The reason I ask is a bit of biology..... if you go to bed straight away after being very active your metabolism will still be very high. So you get into bed and you find yourself wide awake. So if there is a wide game or a noisy camp fire then the scouts go straight to bed afterwards they simply won't settle for at least half an hour.
We try to make a point of there being some quiet time before bed. So on a troop camp whatever the evening programme has been we will finish up with half an hour or so sat round the camp fire with a hot drink or toasting some marshmellows before bed, importantly that's regardless of how late it is. Even if we have been at a jamboree type event and they have been to some kind of entertainment that has gone on till late we will give them some time to sit down and chill out and slow down before they go to bed. As a general rule after slowing down like that they want to go to bed as well. So off they go and out like a light!

03-05-2014, 12:32 PMEditing a comment9:00 is Cracker Barrel and then they usually sit around the campfire playing some game called "mafia". Usually led by one of the older scouts. It is a calm game, though I can't really figure it out.
I second Cambridge's observation. Allowance has to be made for previous activity and such. That is one reason for the usual design of the classic Camporee campfire program: Welcome (ceremonial lighting, introductions, fun skit), songs, cheers, skits, laughs, awards (few and short!!) if any, more skits, songs jokes, then a ghost story or indian tale, something more somber (flag retirement? or ash lore), then "Scout vespers" or sing taps. Walk home and secure camp, quiet time enforced. Younger boys to tent, older venturers quiet around the dying embers, rule is no more wood. You let the fire die, but someone has to be there to watch. Astronomy class?
Reveille is the same for all, no exceptions. If you are tired, how can we learn from this? Does your camp have a night watch? Old timers that keep watch for ... ? Who knows what?
03-05-2014, 01:02 PMEditing a commentOur troop doesn't sing. Ever. SM not into that.
Can you expand on "quite time enforced". How is it enforced and who enforces it ?
There is no night watch. We just stay awake until until they quite down, usually takes a dozen or so requests from one of the adults. The SM can sleep and saw in no time. I am IH and "asst. CC" so am a bit uncomfortable taking a direct role in enforcement. But I feel there does need to be enforcement, just looking for ideas of how this is handled because this group dos not like to sleep.
Friday night is always worse than Saturday especially for the newbies. We use 10pm for the younger guys and 11pm for the older ones. That way the older guys pressure the younger guys to get in the tents and pipe down. Cracker Barrel Friday night seems to help.
Actually a lot of the High Schoolers seem so burn't out from school they want to use the campouts to catch up on sleep.
03-05-2014, 01:18 PMEditing a commentYoung troop maybe one freshman. The older ones seem to be the worst offenders.
How many Scouts per tent? Typically, more Scouts in a tent = more chit chat at lights out.

perdidochas commented03-05-2014, 02:10 PMEditing a commentI find more than 2 to be noisy.
Tampa Turtle commented03-06-2014, 07:32 AMEditing a commentWe strongly discourage 3+ in a tent. Everytime we relent it seems we regret it. 1-2 to a tent. And we make the tents spread out--no tent ghettos. All it takes one chatty guy.
We try to make sure there is as little to do after 10 as possible. That helps. My kids always needed more sleep, so they got short shrift. Worse, unlike me, they have yet to master power naps. They've all learned that lack of sleep will not be countenanced as an excuse for bad behavior.
Being in venturing just aggravates that. (Most young ladies who I know are owls.) Son #2, at least, has no qualms about introverting in the midst of a crowd, curling up, and sleeping by the fire on the ground be it ever so wet.
So while with the troop, lights out is pretty hard-and-fast, with the crew, good-night-time is always a negotiation. You tell me when you will go to bed. I nap. Then while my chaperons are zipping their tents I hike out and hold the youth to their GNT. After everyone has settled, I then spend a few minutes debating whether to set up my tent or find a picnic table. It's impressive how few youth want to stay up when I'm out there talking to myself.
Good morning time is set by the needs of the day. Breakfast waits for nobody. It is not saved for sleepers-in. The youth learn quickly that their suffering is no concern of mine, they are best served by working hard, playing hard, and sleeping well.
Anybody try the proverbial 2 x 4, appropriately wielded?
Oldscout448 commented03-15-2014, 08:21 AMEditing a commenthave been tempted a time or two
Reveille. I tell my boys I can't fall asleep very well. I also let them know I'm up at 5:00 am. If I wake up grumpy, so do they.
I also discuss not only physical pollution, but also light and sound pollution. LNT means don't be scaring every living thing within 5 miles of camp.
My boys generally are pretty good about lights out and respect those scouts, including SM that retires early. If the boys do wake me up and I have to "yell" at them, it's pretty much everything I taught goes out the window. If some of the older boys are sitting around the campfire and I want to turn in, I just get a commitment from them to keep the noise down and make sure the fire is out before they head to bed. It's never been a problem in the 30 years of camping.

I don't mind if the scouts whisper to each other for a while after taps, as long as they don't disturb the scouts who want to sleep.
Only had one real problem campout, a tent of four scouts had three sugar hyped, mountain dewed, chatterboxes who were still going strong at midnight despite repeated calls to shut up from other scouts and adults,
About quarter to one the SM got up, got dressed, walked to the noisy tent and announced a three scout night hike starting now!
The three scouts walked a mile out of camp then back as the SM followed them in his car keeping them in his headlights.
He told them next time it would be two miles, if that didn't work he could try four.
camp was very still and silent after taps for months afterward
I have never understood Boy Scout Camp. Taps at 11:00 p.m, up at 7:00 a.m. Many years ago, when my son was a 1st yr. scout, he went to Boy Scout Camp for 6 days. I picked him up at camp on Saturday, and he talked my ear off for about 10 minutes. He slept the rest of the way back home. He was exhausted! Scouts, especially young scouts, need a lot more sleep than 8 hours.
Our troop decided about 10 years ago, that taps would be at 10, not at 11:00. Scouts are not dumb; they know they need their sleep.
Several years ago, I was a Provisional Scoutmaster for 40 scouts in a Boy Scout Camp. Taps was at 11:00, but my group went to bed at 10:00. I never had a problems with the scouts. After the 1 night, they were glad to get the extra sleep.
today, I do a lot of wilderness camping with small group of scouts. Going to bed is never a problem; the bugs usually drive everyone in by 9:30. Also, everyone is so tired after the 1st night (especially me), that we have not stay up to see the stars in about 5 years (one of my favorite things). Some days we are up at 6:00 a.m. if we have somewhere to go to. Some days we take it easy, and the scouts sleep in to 9:00 a.m. I have had several adults tell me, that the only time they get any sleep, is when they go camping with us!
Actually, I have never been to a scout camp where taps was later than 10PM. Now troop quiet time may be later for some; but not for us. We expect everyone to be quiet no later than 10:30, a half hour after taps. Usually do not have too much trouble anyway after the first night, as they are too tired to stay up.
typically for a troop campout:
after supper there's free time
cracker barrel
evening program (campfire, skit/song by each patrol)
a few group songs
chaplain aide leads evening prayer
boys go to tents and settle in - adults hang by campfire about 30 minutes
adult yells out "night boys" and by the time leader is settled in to sleep the boys are to be quiet.
maybe 2 times a year another reminder is needed.
if at a campground where others are camping adults go in a bit before the time that is listed for quiet time based on campground rules so the boys are already settling in by then. If out on our own then it's not a set time it's really based on the boys. Our group is almost always wore out and ready to sleep by 10. If I had a group that couldn't then I'd be serious about the PLC scheduling some more active activities.
Of course we also stress to the boys that the adults come because they enjoy it and if they don't they'll quit coming and if we don't have adults then we can't do these things... so the boys work hard to make sure the adults enjoy the campouts.
Sometimes we have had a silent night hike to clam the boys down and a bunch of games to wear them out.
"About quarter to one the SM got up, got dressed, walked to the noisy tent and announced a three scout night hike starting now! The three scouts walked a mile out of camp then back as the SM followed them in his car keeping them in his headlights."
I did this exact same thing. It was four new scouts excited on their first night of summer camp. Our adults don't camp with the boys, even at summer camp, so these boys had to be pretty loud to keep me up. I don't like to yell. I don' t yell. I quietly asked them to get dressed for a hike. We walked about mile talking about this and that, then went back to bed. Our troop's program typically wears the scouts out. They are dead by 10:00 pm. We don't mind scouts whispering with excitement, In fact, I kind of like it because my tent partner and I solved many of the worlds problems in our tent when I was a scout. But when they can't live by the scout law, the SPL is held responsible to solve the problem. The only reason I didn't bother the SPL at summer camp was we had a long hard day and he was whipped. So I handled that one. But, if your guys are still restless after a long day, you might consider that the scouts aren't planning enough program. Add a game of Capture the Flag somewhere in there to finish them off. Also campfires intentionally mellow scouts down. Campfire followed by a cracker barrow is almost like a sleeping pill. We don't plan Webelos weekends, we just include them in our normal campouts. We wore out 18 Webelos families one year on a campout. They were so beat by Sunday morning, they left after breakfast. I thought we would never see them again, but we crossed over 18 new scouts two months later because once the soreness wore off, they realized they had a blast. Barry
So why are adults worried about lights out????
It is the boys program if they want to say up till 1am and then get up at 6 am to make the 7am rafting departure I am good with that.....
They will learn....
Especially if they miss their trip. When expensive outings are involved I will go kick the tent of the spl to get him moving....that is all
If we adults keep intervening they will never learn to self regulate.

perdidochas commented03-06-2014, 02:24 PMEditing a commentExactly. In our troop, we only wake up the SPL (if he's not already awake, that is). The SM tells the SPL about the external schedule, the SPL implements it. Otherwise, its the SPLs call.
The only provision is that they be quiet enough for people to sleep.Last edited by perdidochas; 03-19-2014, 07:24 AM. Reason: Added last sentences
They can stay up all night as far as I'm concerned. They are expected to be at flags, participate in the program, and be packed up, ready to go on Sunday at a predetermined time. They are expected to live the Scout Oath and Law. Every meal they choose to eat requires protein. Other than that, it's up to the PL. So, if they can't wake up in time Saturday morning then, gee, no time for breakfast because they need to be at flags. That happens once and then they realize they need to get up, which means they need to go to sleep, .... I'm no longer responsible for nagging kids and they can figure it out themselves. win-win.

Our troop follows the same policy and I'm curious Matt, do your scouts pretty much go to their tents at the same time like ours? It just seems that when they are ready, they all go to bed. And it is usually before the adults.
Like Matt, I believe "time" is the best motivator of discipline. This is why I ask for an agenda from the SPL before we leave on the camp outs.
Nope, they go to bed when they're tired, and after the first night that's usually before any official light's out or the adults. The younger kids tend to go to sleep earlier. By 10 the SPL and PLs go around and check that everyone is in their tents. So I guess it's not a lights out rule so much as a be in your tent rule so we know there aren't any lost scouts.

Jonas Brothers back to MN AFTER July 13th!
This petition was started to get The Jonas Brothers to come back to Minnesota AFTER July 13th. The reasoning for it is because my family and I will be in Florida the day The Jonas Brothers will be preforming here on July 8th. I have recently requested they come back and got a reply saying to start an online petition having 200 people sign it with their REAL names NOT usernames and to get it to them somehow by the end of May or earlier. It would be mean a lot to my twin, best friend, and I if you would sign it with your REAL name(NOT username). You DO NOT need to be from nor live in Minnesota to sign it. Please help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the support. Sincerely, Rilee from Minnesota *NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CHECK YOUR NAME AS ANONYMOUS! IT DOESN'T HELP!* *ALSO ONLY CLICK SUBMIT YOUR NAME ONCE!*

"I was so pleased when I found this invitation because I had been looking everywhere for a nice and not Christmasy looking red shower invitation. I love the hearts on the back and the quote, "shower Shannon with love.""
"I love everything about this card, the front design is exactly what I was looking for! I loved having to options to personalize every little detail! <3"
"I was able to customize the invitation as just as quickly was able to view it and when they arrived at my home they looked exactly the way they looked on line. The quality of the paper was very very good and the colors were perfect."
"These invitations were great and easy to customize. The delivery was fast and easy and the whole process was very stress free."
"I used Wedding Paper Divas for my wedding save-the-dates in January 2013 and decided to use the same service for my sister who's getting married now. I picked these shower invitations with the bracket trim, but plain white envelopes, because people tear through those anyway. The cardstock is satisfactory, I just might recommend a different, or no fancy trim only because the tiny points on the trim can be flimsy. The overall invitations are just what I imagine and what was shown through the site. I put a photograph on the back of the invite of my sister and her fiancé. It took a while to find the best resolution photo from what I thought were already decent resolution, but the customer service designer was patient and helped me find something before just settling and going with my first choice. It resulted in me picking a cuter, more appropriate photo and I couldn't be happier with the photo quality, or how the overall invites turned out."

There's plenty of work to do to improve the way that Joomla works with databases. We need database experts who can look at optimising queries, improving the data model and making Joomla work across multiple databases. If you are a database junkie and you'd like to help then contact Omar Ramos.
Improving Joomla search is something that has been requested for a long time as the native Joomla search function leaves a lot to be desired. Because we want to move towards a unified content model it is really important that we address search as part of that. Many of the issues have already been successfully addressed by JXtended with their Finder component. However, Finder will only work with Joomla 1.5. What we need is to get Finder updated for the current Joomla version so it can be considered for possible inclusion in a forthcoming Joomla release.
For further information go to the Finder Integration Working Group page.
This working group is looking into using the Joomla Platform to simplify and open source the "internet of things". Using several popular input/output devices to allow the world to connect to the internet and back to the world; for the device's data to be easily displayed on Joomla sites and Joomla sites to "talk back" to the environment.
Coordinator: Phil Walton (mailto:email@example.com)
For further information go to www.jthings.co.uk
For further information see Bug Squad.
The Documentation Working Group is a standing team of people dedicated to improving Joomla's documentation. This includes both user and developer documentation. Our primary focus is this wiki, but we are also responsible for maintaining api.joomla.org and other resources.
This team is for experienced Joomla users and developers who want to help test and fix reported security issues. If you are interested in helping, please contact Mark Dexter. Thanks!
For further information see Translations Working Group.
The User Experience Working Group is a standing team focused on the Joomla User Experience. This includes the Joomla administrator user interface, sample templates, sample data and any other related aspects. The team will have a dedicated site up shortly to facilitate collaboration.

CNN — When she's not guest starring on "Two and a Half Men," or planning her wedding to Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus is recording her fourth studio album.
"It's a really different sound," she told CNN while promoting her new flick, "So Undercover." "Not only just for me, but I think it's something that radio needs right now."
The "Can't Be Tamed" singer hasn't yet announced a release date for her upcoming album, but she did give listeners a clue about what they can expect to hear: "Dirty South hip-hop music."
Cyrus worked with artists like Pharrell, Tyler the Creator and Mac Miller to blend hip-hop and country, which she called "my two favorite styles of music."
"[P]eople don't think [hip-hop and country] make a good hybrid, but actually, so many hip-hop artists are really inspired by country musicians - especially a lot of the artists I've been working with in Atlanta," she said.
Adele is another artist who Cyrus said she's inspired by, adding, "There's no one out there now where it's about their voice being on top of the track. Everything out there right now is about the track."

About Me Budget Shopper
Best Blind Company
By Kevin from NJ
from Chatham, NJ
[...] excellent price. Blinds are good, too.
Good for the price
By JC4Ever
from Jersey City, NJ
Definitely not a high end product but good for the money paid. I have these blinds in a bedroom that does not get much traffic, so they are fine. Would not put them in a livingroom or diningroom where they would be seen often. Also, they are not opened/closed often. It is quiet tedious to open and close if you have many windows, and hurts your hands. Also, make sure you pull the cord directly down/horizontal and close to the blind. On one of mine that is hardly ever opened the cord came right out of the top rail, requiring repair.
very happy with this product

Great product! I will be buying again.
By Hooter
from Granville, IL
The products were flawless and easy to install. They accented the rooms to our perfection.
Excellent value (but no valence)
By pubpro
from Washington, DC
These blinds are a very good bargain. My only complaint is that I didn't understand in advance from the shopping description that they didn't come with a valence. I would have had to buy a slightly more expensive line to get valences. I like the ones I bought, but it would have been good to have that fact more obvious up front.
I would buy this product again.
By Paul
from Hobe Sound, Fl
Very good quality product.
Looks good
By GP
from Santa Rosa, CA
We finally put this up yesterday, we had been buying the economy blinds but decided that we would upgrade to something a little better - very glad we did, we also bought the privacy feature as these are for our bedroom, works really well. We will see how the mounting brackets hold up. I am normally not big on spring plate hook ups but we are unlikely to be taking these down alot so should be OK.
Happy with my Blinds

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the contiguous United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. We do ship to Canada and all other countries. Please call us or send e-mail for applicable charges. Our manufacturers impose a handling fee per order depending on the type of product and order amount that is purchased. For Blind orders, the handling fee is $4.95 per order. You will only be charged one handling fee per order and if ordering blinds and wallpaper together the total handling fee will be determined by the wallpaper order total.
Next Day and 2nd Day AirAll orders can be shipped next day or 2nd day air for an additional charge. Selecting this shipping method does not speed up the manufacturing of your order. It only speeds up the delivery of your order once it leaves the warehouse. Next day and 2nd air day charges on our site are not applicable for Saturday or Sunday delivery. Additional charges will apply If you would like next day or 2nd day air specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery (please call for price specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery).

Visual Media Design
© 2014 VMD Dept. Photos by Julia Sperling & Anthony Mancini, VMD Students
The Visual Media Design Evolution Continues
Welcome! The Visual Media Design department offer courses in graphic design, digital media production skills for web and print, digital illustration, animation and gaming. We are a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program and work with students ranging from first-time Mac users to seasoned professionals looking to pick up specific skills. As a department, we value creative thinking, collaboration, and social responsibility which we weave through our courses at all levels.
We are moving forward in our process of consolidating Graphic Communications and Multimedia Studies classes and curriculum. As of Fall 2014, all class prefixes and numbers will have changed as will many class titles. All class prefixes will be VMD and classes will be clustered by subject area. To make this transition easier for you, we created a conversion chart you can access below. We will also include the old class prefix and number after the new one to further help with this transition. If at any time you need assistance in choosing classes or understanding our certificates, please email us. We are here to help.
For a printable PDF of our Spring 2015 department schedule, click on the link below. This PDF contains information about our degrees and certificates as well as Spring 2015 class offerings.
Programs of Study
We offer a program of study in the following areas:
We offer both an Associate of Arts in Graphic Design and a Graphic Design Emphasis certificate program. Our AA degree prepares students for further study at a 4-year institution. The certificate series works well for students who have a degree already and want to work as a visual designer for web and/or print. Professionals with strong technical skills but lack design skills would also follow the certificate path. For more detailed information, visit Degrees and Certificates.
Students who are interested in some visual design training but want to emphasize technical skills for web and/or print production would follow this certificate path. Students can tailor their program of study through electives to concentrate on specific areas of technical expertise. For more detailed information, visit Degrees and Certificates.

Plugins are small but powerful extensions that listen for and respond to Joomla events.
Plugins are small but powerful extensions that listen for and respond to Joomla events.

====Task improving core components====
Task Categories
Coding tasks are separated into either Platform or CMS tasks. When writing any code targeted for Joomla, it is important to follow all of Joomla's coding standards. Code will not be accepted or merged without tests and proper code style. There is information on this docs site and on Github regarding the code style requirements.
Coding Resources
Joomla supports a number of different document formats in the JDocument package. https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/tree/staging/libraries/joomla/document
We would like to add support for a number of other standard formats. The first task in this group is VCard but we will release additional tasks for this general category.
Following the model of those create a child class to support VCF. Reference materail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
The com_contact component provides a model for this.
Below are tasks that are target directly to the Joomla CMS, version 3.x. These tasks are divided into working with modules, plugins and components, which are the three of the basic types of Joomla extensions.
Module Documentation
The Joomla! Platform has a JImage package. We would like to add use of JImage in some of the core Joomla CMS modules. JImage is a library that allows for easy image handling. You can manipulate images by resizing, creating thumbnails, and cropping by desired aspect ratios.
'For students interested in the JImage module / com_content tasks. ' The caching and options should be consistent throughout these modules. Therefore we will release one task to create a model implementation. Tasks for other modules will be released following that.
This module will pull information such as physical address and phone number from a contact record and display it. The layout should allow for flexible display.
The random image module is currently the main way to display rotating images in the Joomla CMS core. Create a new module that will similarly display all of the images in a folder, but instead of requiring a new page load, use javascript. See: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel
We will be releasing some additional tasks incorporating other Bootstrap javascript features.
Similar to the weblinks module or articles category module, make a module that pulls its data from the contact component.
Plugins are small but powerful extensions that listen for and respond to Joomla events.
Use the JGoogle Maps API to create a plugin that will use the address information in the contact_details table to display a Google map in a single contact view.
Excellent documentation takes many forms. It also has many audiences. The audiences include:
In the Joomla! Project documentation is found in many places. Some examples are:
Note: We will be releasing a number of tasks related to help screens. They will follow the same pattern but address specific screens in priority order.
====Review all core content component (content, weblinks, contact, newsfeeds) models and provide complete docblocks for all methods, constants and properties.====
Documentation for proper formatting of docblocks is found in the Platform Manual.
Note: We will be releasing a number of other tasks for embedded documentation (docblocks) in the CMS.
Using the existing chapters in the Platform Manual as examples write a chapter on JForm (but it is not necessary to cover all field types). This can be done in a Google document for later conversion into docbook format.
The wiki documentation (unlike other documentation) gives the author more discretion in terms of structure and style. However, all code included should follow Joomla code style.
Joomla has a marketing team that performs various tasks such as usability of the Joomla.org family sites, SWOT analysis and more.
- Develop Award Team: Assemble working group to document international, national and regional contests and award programs in which Joomla! could compete. Create resource documents for nominations/applications. Develop budget for entry fees and submit to OSM for funding. Work in conjunction with Marketing, Production, Event, Magazine and Social Media teams to ensure successful outcomes.
The platform and CMS need improvement in the test coverage. Tests written for specific packages that require more code coverage can be considered a task. See http://developer.joomla.org/coverage/ for specific coverage information.
Unit Test Information:
Joomla has a JUX (Joomla User Experience) team that has done much of the work to improve the usability of Joomla 3.x. There is still much work that can be done to improve Joomla's usability and accessibility.

Discussing: What is the Research Cabinet?
What is the Research Cabinet?
Message: 53602
04 Jul 10 10:39 AM
Original Post
General Audience
In honor of HASA's 8th birthday, a new feature, the Research Cabinet, has been launched.
The Research Cabinet is a place where any member can collect links to things on HASA and other sites in one place, organize them into notebooks and add your own notes.
As of the launch, this is what you can click and add to your cabinet:
- Character Bios
- Timeline Events
- Places
- Things
- Saved text searches
- Links to any outside site or any specific page in HASA
Inside your Cabinet, you can create Notebooks and Research Notes. A Notebook is just a set of links you've grouped together. A Research Note looks a lot like a story chapter, with a title and a big space for text. The stuff you've added to your cabinet then gets added to notebooks and research notes.
The fun part about the Research Cabinet is you don't have to create your notebooks and research notes right away. You can add items to your Cabinet first, then worry about organizing them later. In fact, if you just want to put things into the Cabinet and not bother with notebooks and notes, that's OK too!
For example, I have two very different research interests - Denethor and Shire Hobbits. While I was writing Hands of the King, I kept going to Resources and looking up stuff like descriptions of places, birth and death dates, information on things such as the palantiri, and timeline events. It was a pain to have to remember which entries had which information. I'd either have to search for the pages or else add bookmarks to my browser - which meant I didn't have the same set of bookmarks on all computers.
The Research Cabinet fixes this.
Now all I have to do is go once through the Research Library entries, and click Add this [Bio/Event/Place/Thing] to research cabinet", and I quickly create a set of all the links I need. To see this button, log in to HASA, go to a Research Library entry page, such as Imrahil's Bio or the Place entry for Rivendell, and locate the "Research Cabinet" menu bar in the right-hand column. I can now add Imrahil's bio directly to the Research Cabinet by clicking the first button. If I want to organize on the fly, I can use the other buttons. Because I have notebooks, I can add directly to a Notebook, or even to a Research Note page. One click, the page refreshes, and Imrahil will be linked. I can even add a Notebook or a Research Page right there.
I have two Notebooks - Gondor Research and Shire Stories. This matches my two areas of writing, about Denethor and about Hobbits. I've also created some Research Notes - Bilbo, Frodo and Denethor - that correspond to some of the main characters I'm working with. I've added dozens of items to the notebooks and linked key item directly to my Research Notes. When I have a thought about a character, I just log in to HASA, go to my Cabinet, click on the Research Note "Edit" button, and type it in. Since it's just a note for me, it doesn't have to make sense for anyone else.
When I'm writing, I just open up my browser to view the Notebook holding all the notes and links for what I'm working on. Need to check that details about Bilbo? Click the Bio link to Bilbo. Want to run the saved search on "denethor AND boromir AND faramir"? Click the saved search link. Need to look at the document I posted for the beta readers to review? Click the URL link to my Skydrive folder where I uploaded my Word file.
You don't have to be writing anything, of course. Maybe you just like reading everything about a specific character, or you'd like to keep a set of links always together and handy. Use the Cabinet to gather it all together.
Please take a look at the Research Cabinet, add some items, see what you think and post any questions you have here in the Research Cabinet forum.

I haven't been to the site very often of late, so I missed this excellent resource when it was first out -- but it showed up this morning on the front page as I was logging in, so I checked it out. What an amazing addition to my author toolbox this is! I am really happy with this feature, since I do a lot of research, and spend so much time clicking here and there, in and out of HASA. To have it all in one "notebook" is such a blessing.
Thank you so much for thinking of this and then implementing it!

Hi Lin,
Isn't it fun?
The Cabinet idea originated with Elena Tiriel years ago when she said she'd love for a way to bookmark the Research Library entries like story favorites. It took a back seat to other projects and site needs, then it finally got some attention.
We've started small, but (if there is interest) plan to make it possible to add other HASA items to it and maybe even share them.
I love mine. I have a link to my Skydrive with chapters of my stories in the Office docs and other stuff just stored in folders, plus I have my research notes, multiple notebooks, so many links to RL entries it's not funny, and a few saved searches.
Glad you're finding it useful!

Our new Massif™ typeface family is a fresh sans serif design that's great for both text and headline sizes. The typeface was designed by Steve Matteson in 2004 and then expanded into a complete family this year.
Massif Pro was inspired by the dramatic granite formations found in the Sierra Nevada mountains, particularly Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. Faults and fissures which define a massif formation are integral to this typeface design to impart a rich texture on text settings and to capture a unique sparkle in headlines.
Sketches by Steve Matteson: Half Dome from the early 1990s and early drawings of the typeface.
Massif's letterforms contain both angular tension and smooth curvature, reminiscent of the rugged terrain formed through eons of glacial and tectonic activity. The Massif Pro typeface family features a versatile range of weights including light, semi light, regular, semibold, bold and extra bold. Matching italics for each weight are also included.
Massif Pro is available in both TrueType® and OpenType® font formats. OpenType advanced typographic features include small capitals and old style figures. Also included is a small set of decorative ornaments.
We hope you will find Massif Pro to be a valuable typeface family to add to your typographic repertoire.
About the type designer:
Steve Matteson is the creative type director at Monotype Imaging. A 1987 graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, Steve has an extensive background in typography, design, printing and history. His type design work may be found in user interface designs such as the Windows® 7 operating system, Xbox 360® game console and devices using Google's Android™ mobile platform. He has designed custom typefaces for many clients including Fifth Third Bank, Alcon Labs, Hilton brands, Nextel and the Cleveland Indians. Steve's commercial typeface portfolio is extensive, ranging from classic text faces and decorative display types to original designs and inspiring historic revivals.

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Eligium Overview
Behind Eligium's average looking graphics and generic combat are some truly interesting and unique features to be found in the game. A few of the aforementioned features include: a unique mount- and pet-system which lets you raise your mounts and pets from infancy, after hatching them from their eggs, a skill mastery system which makes your skills stronger every time you use them, several class advancements (called class tiers in the game) and large Guild vs. Guild or Faction vs. Faction PvP battles.

Eligium Review
It's alive!
After starting the game and getting to the character selection screen my first thought was: "Oh no." as I had seen that there is no character customization in the game. What I did notice though was one reasonably unique class; the druid. The druid appears as a playable class in several other MMORPGs but still Eligium's druid is still quite unique, since it can take the role of either a summoner or an illusionist (shape shifter). Other classes you can choose are the Warrior, Hunter, Mage and Fighter and these classes (including the druid) are all race-locked so you automatically choose your race by choosing your class. All classes/races do have both genders available with the exception of the Fighter, which is a Panda, as it is a genderless class/race.
The only other character customization you have available is the choice of a faction (Holy Empire or the Empire of Glory, the faction you choose decides your starting area) and the selection of a Virtue (Bravery, Devotion etc.) which allows you to get bonuses from joining a party with players who have virtues linked to yours (for instance someone with the virtue of 'Bravery' will deal an increased amount of physical damage to enemies when in a group with a player who has the virtue 'Devotion'.) I decided to go with the Druid since it seemed like an interesting class (especially the Tier 2 version; the Illusionist).
Hot 'n Dry.
The first thing that struck me after logging onto my character was the starting area. Whereas normally the starting areas are nearly always good-looking areas (and most of the times even the best-looking areas of the game) the starting area in Eligium is nothing more than a desert. In my honest opinion this is not the best start of the game since it makes you feel as if you're lonely in the game and it does not really give you a good first impression of the landscape, however it does give off a feeling of seriousness. It shows you there is not going to be any fooling around in the beginning with tutorials lasting over half an hour, but that the game gets serious straight away.
The graphics overall are average to say the least. The terrain is often very plain but the NPCs and buildings look fairly detailed. As for perspective you have the ability to move the 'camera' around freely by using the right-mouse button and the game actually offers you one of the largest ranges of camera movement (ranging from top-view to first-person perspective) that I have ever seen in MMORPGs.
Master skill
Combat in Eligium is basically the same as in any other MMORPG. I spent most of the first few levels simply spamming the 1 and 2-buttons over and over again until the monster was finally dead. The skills do have some interesting features though, as every time you use a skill you gain 1 proficiency point in that skill and once you reach a certain amount of proficiency points the skill will level up, making it stronger. Once a skill has reached level 5 you can go to your class trainer to upgrade the skill to a new tier (Novice, Advanced, and Master Etc.) which you can do about 5 times, meaning your skills have a maximum level of 25. Another thing that sets Eligium's combat apart from most other MMORPGs is mounted combat. Once you have obtained a mount you can hunt down monsters while sitting comfortably on the back of your mount. Also a nice addition (but not really unique) is the presence of Boss/Elite monsters and monsters with special effects. For instance a monster can have +10% extra attack power in comparison to other monsters of the same species.
Hatch, Grow and Ride
A very unique and interesting system in Eligium is the pet and mount-system. In Eligium players have the ability to hatch pets from an egg, after which they can nurse them from infancy to eventually grow into either combat pets or mounts by using magic powders obtained by disassembling superior (blue) and higher ranked (yellow) equipment. At the moment there are not that many pets or mounts available, but more will be added to the game in the future.
Eligium also has a PvP-system. Other than the normal Player vs. Player dueling there is also Guild vs. Guild wars and Faction vs. Faction wars, in which the Holy Empire and the Empire of Glory (which are the two factions you can choose while creating your character) clash with each other to decide which of the two is the strongest. As the game is still in Open Beta there has not been much information about these wars, but it has been said that these wars could be fought by up to 200 players at once, which seems like an amazing feature.
Fancy skills
Another thing worth mentioning is the game's animations. Despite its average graphics Eligium does have one of the best skill, character and landscape animations that I know of. The skills look (even at low level) very good and the landscape actually changes as you move through it (for instance the grass will move while stepping on it). The character animations also look very fluid and natural which just gives the game a nice feel to it.
I got a feelin'
The game does actually have a bit of a lonely feeling to it, which is mainly because the landscape is often very empty and the game's music is mostly just a looping wind sound. The character movement does not feel very fluid since there are only 8 directions you can move in, like in the early RPG games where going from straight ahead to diagonal was a choppy and instant change, but this does not really negatively affect your gameplay and you get used to it quite easily.
Final Verdict: Good
All in all the game does have quite a unique style and gameplay aspects, making the overall experience a good one, despite the average graphics and generic combat and quests. Although at first glance it may not seem like a fantastic game it does do a good job of keeping you absorbed and makes you want to keep playing it. Its interesting skill/mount system and the large PvP-battles only make an extra reason to keep on playing this game. It might not look like a diamond, but on the inside, it definitely is.

Hi: 12° Lo:7°
By Nigel Slater Thursday 20 December 2012 Updated: 31/12 10:02
A BENEFIT cheat has been ordered to pay back thousands of pounds after being found guilty of fraud.
Jason Smith, currently living in Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire, was prosecuted after illegally entitling himself to more than £5,000 of tax payers money in relation to a property he rented in Swan Lane, Evesham until January.
At a hearing at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday (December 13) Mr Smith pleaded guilty to all charges after it was found he had been paid £5,263 in Housing Benefit and Council Tax and £703 in Jobseeker's Allowance.
The investigation found the 27-year-old had failed to declare he was working full-time from May 2011 to October 2011 and was living with his partner at the same address from March last year, who was also working during the period.
When interviewed in March, Mr Smith admitted he had been working and was living with his partner until his claims ended in January. He has since married his partner and moved to Leicestershire.
District Judge Cadbury sentenced Mr Smith to a Community Service Order and imposed an immediate ten-week curfew order from 7pm to 7am which will see him electronically tagged.
Mr Smith will also have to fully repay all the benefits to which he was not entitled to.
The case was part of a joint prosecution initiated by Wychavon District Council and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) whose prosecutors were awarded costs of £100.
Nick Jefferies, head of shared services at Wychavon District Council, said: "We consider benefit fraud to be a serious matter. People have a duty to notify us and report any change in circumstances when it comes to matters that might affect benefit payments, just as we have a duty to protect public funds."
