Imagine a pro-level DSLR containing an imaging sensor 7 times more sensitive to low-level light than the human eye. Imagine if this camera can also capture high-definition live-action stills at up to 9 frames-per-second or 720 HD video at 24 frames-per-second (with stereo sound) under the lowest of lighting conditions. The Nikon D3S (Body Only) is such a camera. Constructed to the same precision high-performance standards as its predecessor, the Nikon D3, the D3S is designed to meet the convergent technological needs and demands of professional shooters under the most extreme of low-light shooting conditions.
The D3S is ruggedly constructed of weatherproof, silicon-sealed magnesium-alloy components and contains a re-engineered 12.1-megapixel FX-format (full-frame, 23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor capable of producing still images and HD video at ISO levels up 102,400. The D3S captures JPEG, RAW, RAW+JPEG, or TIFF image files at up to 9 frames-per-second in FX-format, or 11 frames-per-second when shooting in DX-mode. The buffer is equally impressive and can handle up to 42 RAW files or 130 large JPEGs.
The D3S's all-glass optical viewing system offers bright, 100% viewing through the viewfinder. You also have the option of composing and editing images in Live View mode using the camera's 3", 920,000-dot LCD. Along with a wide selection of exposure, tonal, and color controls, the D3S also offers advanced D-Lighting for maximum shadow and highlight details in stills, a D-Movie mode for similar image optimization when shooting video, advanced chromatic aberration reduction controls, and in-camera RAW file processing. To keep image files clean from the moment of capture, an advanced Dust Reduction System helps keep errant dust particles out and away from the image path.
To keep up with the action, the D3S contains dual CompactFlash (CF) slots and can capture up to 4200 exposures per battery charge. And like its predecessor, the Nikon D3S is compatible with a vast selection of Nikon lenses the enable you to take sharp, dramatic imagery regardless of where the job takes you.
ISO Range of 200 - 12800, Expandable to ISO 102,400 (Hi 3)
Professional photographers can now rely on ISO 200 to ISO 12800 as the professional standard of image quality for their assignments for an incredible advantage when shooting indoor sports, stadium events at night or any other shooting situations where light is limited and Speedlights are not practical. Shooting at ISOs as high as 12,800, the D3S can take commercial-quality, pin-sharp images in low light at action-freezing shutter speeds, a capability that will open a new world of photographic opportunities. When needed, the D3S expands to the amazing ISO equivalent of 102,400, revealing color and detail even in low-lit places where human eyes may find it difficult to discern objects. This exceptional low-noise performance also applies to D-Movie capture, which creates new potential for multimedia projects and assignments.
Improved D-Movie Functionality
From well-lit scenes to extremely low-lit situations, the D3S's D-Movie mode delivers unique versatility. An enhanced D-Movie mode offers HD quality (1,280 x 720 pixels) Motion-JPEG movies at 24 fps. By controlling the aperture from the widest f-stop to the smallest, the large FX-format sensor renders low-noise images with beautiful 'bokeh' from a large selection of Nikkor lenses. High-Sensitivity Movie mode allows users to shoot at up to an ISO equivalent of 102,400 in the dimmest of lighting conditions. D-Movie footage is easy to trim in-camera by simply selecting the starting and ending point. An extra bonus for sports and news photographers is the ability to save selected movie frames as JPEGs for immediate print and web publishing needs. The D3S has both an internal mono-aural microphone and an external stereo microphone input, enabling higher fidelity audio recording.
Large Pixel Pitched 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS Sensor
The D3S's image sensor has been completely redesigned from the D3; the inner structure has been further optimized, with the pixel count and large pixel pitch maintained for even greater latitude in high ISO performance. As a result, the D3S captures and renders light in ways that no other ordinary digital SLR camera has yet achieved, with a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range for unmatched image quality for both still images and movies throughout the broadened ISO sensitivity capabilities.
Advanced Image Sensor Cleaning System
Another significant improvement over the D3 is the employment of the Image Sensor Cleaning function, which generates vibrations at 4 specific frequencies to optimize dust removal. This function can be set to operate automatically when the camera is turned on and off, or manually.
EXPEED Image Processor
Nikon's fast, comprehensive, and energy-efficient approach to in-camera image processing maintains the rich initial data's integrity through 14-bit A/D conversion and 16-bit image-processing, which expands the creative possibilities made possible by shooting NEF (Nikon Electronic Image Format) files. Combined with Nikon's FX-format sensor, the D3S produces an exceptional tonal range and minimized tone jumps. Users can expect more accuracy with difficult color combinations such as skin tones and strong reds in the same frame without over-saturation and finer tonal gradation in highlights, even with extremely bright subject matter.
Lateral Chromatic Aberration Reduction Ensures Edge-to-Edge Image Sharpness
The D3S corrects color fringes caused by chromatic aberrations that, in some instances, can appear at the edges of differing subject elements. Lateral chromatic aberrations are corrected regardless of lens type, be they telephoto, wide-angle, non-CPU or other types of NIKKOR lenses.
Active D-Lighting Maintains High Levels of Highlights and Shadow Detail
Nikon's Active D-Lighting automatically regulates the dynamic range of high-contrast scenes, pulling out shadow details and preserving highlights while maintaining proper contrast. The D3S allows photographers to choose from six Active D-Lighting settings, including the newly added Auto and Extra High, as well as High, Normal, Low and Off. You can also bracket Active D-Lighting strength levels up to five frames and select the best rendition afterwards.
Picture Control Functionality
Picture Control helps you define the look and feel of your images by custom-tailoring sharpness, saturation and other parameters to match your creative intentions. The D3S comes with 4 pre-installed Picture Control profiles, which can be fine-tuned and saved as new custom Picture Control profiles that match your personal shooting style or particular shooting conditions. These profiles can easily be copied to additional cameras.
Responsive From the Get-Go
The D3S optimizes workflow speed and fluidity throughout the entire shooting process. Start-up time is approx. 0.12 seconds and release time lag is minimized to approx. 0.04 seconds, exactly as fast as the D3, but with a buffer memory twice as large as that of the D3's. In addition, the D3S's auto focusing, image processing, memory card access and recording, USB interface and optional wireless transmitter all work together to keep professional photographers focused. And for sport and news photographers, many of the D3S's JPEG files are print-ready with little or no post-production: an extra edge when time is short.
9-fps in FX-format, 11-fps in DX Crop-format
The D3S's continuous shooting rates allows for a more steady delivery of fast continuous shooting speeds at a wide range of aperture settings enabling professionals to have greater control and fewer limitations when capturing images. With the DX crop, photographers can also add a 1.5x picture angle and a faster frame rate to their arsenal. Furthermore, the factory-installed buffer memory is twice the capacity of the D3, dramatically increasing the power of continuous shooting.
3" 921,000-Dot LCD with 170-Degree Viewing Angle
The D3S's large, high-resolution LCD monitor delivers bright, crisp image playback with up to 27x enlargement for immediate and precise image confirmation. Each LCD is covered with scratch resistant tempered glass and individually calibrated and fine-tuned at the factory to deliver consistent performance.
Easy-Access Live View Mode
The dedicated Live View button gives you instant access to two Live View modes: Tripod mode for accurate AF operation and Hand-held mode for more versatile shooting angles. The speed for Contrast-detect AF in Tripod mode has also been improved for enhanced practicality.
Advanced Scene Recognition System
Nikon's exclusive 1,005-pixel RGB sensor precisely reads brightness and color information raising the overall accuracy of AF, AE, i-TTL flash control and auto white balance thanks to Nikon's Scene Recognition System. The D3S's AF delivers superb subject tracking and subject identification performance. Highlight analysis used for AE reproduces brightness faithful to the eye, and light source identification makes auto white balance uniquely precise and reliable.
51-point Auto-Focus
The D3S's strategically positioned 51 AF points deliver faster focus, even with quick and/or erratic subject movement. The 15 cross-type sensors in the centre of the frame maintain the same outstanding performance with any AF NIKKOR lens f/5.6 or faster. There are four Dynamic-area AF options, including 51 points (3D-tracking), which accurately follows your subject by shifting focus points using color and brightness information from the Scene Recognition System. This gives users an extra advantage when composition is important but your subject's movement is extremely erratic. Single-point and Auto-area AF modes are also available.
Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Metering II
Nikon's exclusive 3D color matrix metering II is highly praised for its outstanding performance and faithful exposure results even in complex, unforgiving lighting conditions. The D3S takes accurate exposure further, using highlight analysis from the Scene Recognition System and then carefully selecting from a database containing information from over 30,000 actual shooting situations.
Informed Auto White Balance
Even in challenging conditions with mixed light sources, the D3S auto white balance function allows you to capture exacting color renditions in a wide variety of settings.
100% Optical Viewfinder Coverage (Approx)
The D3S's large prism gives you the FX-format visual advantage when you shoot. The viewfinder image is not only larger and brighter, but the focusing screen is also carefully designed to help you to more intuitively sense sharp focus, be it manual or autofocus.
Durable, Tough, Sealed Against the Elements
For the reliability professionals demand, the shutter of the D3S has been tested for up to 300,000 cycles in fully assembled cameras under rigorous conditions. The ruggedly constructed D3S employs a strong yet lightweight magnesium alloy for its body, exterior cover, chassis and mirror box. Furthermore, a comprehensive series of O-rings and other specialized seals, combined with additional Nikon engineering, protect the D3S against invasive moisture, dust and even electromagnetic interference.
Dual CF Memory Card Slots
The D3S lets you designate each card slot for certain tasks: record two full CF cards of data sequentially for a large amount of storage, record the same data onto two cards (backup), record RAW and JPEG simultaneously onto separate cards, and transfer data from one card to another. You can also designate the slot for data-heavy D-Movie recording.
Up to 4200 Exposures per Battery Charge
The D3S uses the EN-EL4a rechargeable batteries. Power consumption and power management systems have been engineered for greater operating efficiency, so you can expect long battery life, shooting up to 4,200 images per charge.
Quiet Shutter Release Mode
Photographers can select "Q" on the release mode dial to substantially reduce the sound of the camera's mirror-down during shooting. This is particularly useful when shooting in restrictive conditions such as when photographing theatrical performances or wildlife.
With the optional GPS Unit GP-1, location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and time are automatically recorded to each image's EXIF data. The Time Adjustment feature, which adjusts your camera's time zone, is also available using the GP-1. Especially useful for group assignments that require several D3S cameras to be synchronized.
Exclusive Nikon Software include Nikon Transfer and ViewNX software packages (supplied) for a range of basic photo browsing and editing operations; Capture NX 2, Camera Control Pro 2, and Image Authentication Software (all optional) enable more advanced operation and image editing.

A rural Wakeman resident's defense attorney wants to make it clear his client was acquitted of masturbating at the Vermilion middle school.
Billy H. McCauley, 66, of 10407 Angling Road, was charged with public indecency in connection with a Sept. 11 suspected incident near Sailorway Middle School. On May 2, a Vermilion Municipal Court jury acquitted McCauley of the second-degree misdemeanor after hearing two days of testimony.
"The jury returned a verdict shortly after it was adjourned to decide the case. Two people who were part of the jury pool, but were not selected as jurors, and who remained in the courtroom so that they could listen to the testimony, also were convinced that Mr. McCauley had not committed the offense," defense attorney Patrick Farrell said in a prepared statement released Thursday.
McCauley didn't testify, but his daughter and a bus driver, both of whom were in a nearby parking lot, took the stand.
"There was no reason to put him (on the stand) for that," Farrell said about his client.
When asked about the lapse of time between his statement and the acquittal, Farrell told the Reflector it had to do with the options McCauley had after the trial and said a lawsuit against the city of Vermilion is "being contemplated."
A 12-year-old boy accused McCauley of "playing with himself" in a vehicle while school was letting out. Vermilion police officers responded to the scene.
The boy alleged McCauley's shorts were down and his shirt was pulled up to his belly button while he reportedly was "massaging" his penis, police said. The student was walking across a parking lot toward his mother's car at the time.
The boy told his mother, who left her car and approached McCauley's vehicle, where she allegedly saw the suspect reclining "with his shorts pulled up higher on one side and his shirt still pulled up to his belly button," police said. The mother then reportedly told a crossing guard to "keep an eye" on the suspect while she contacted school officials and police.
"I don't think he ever did it. That was manufactured by the child's mother," Farrell said.
Judging from the testimony, McCauley's attorney said it appeared the boy's "mother was pushing this."
Farrell accused Detective Dean Mayer, who investigated the case, of saying it was easier to charge McCauley with public indecency "than dealing with the child's mother." He also accused the investigator of making statements in his report that weren't consistent with what the boy said.
McCauley, when the detective interviewed him at home, admitted to being at the school to pick up his grandchild, but denied masturbating or having his pants down.
"He stated that it was warm, but he didn't want to use his AC, so he rolled the windows down, opened the car door slightly and rolled his shirt up on his stomach," according to the police report.
Farrell said "many news agencies" reported this story about his client between Sept. 26 through 29. The defense attorney said he wants the media to know "Mr. McCauley did not engage in this type of activity."
McCauley was arrested Sept. 26 and brought to the Vermilion police station.
"The very nature of the charges against Mr. McCauley, and the surrounding publicity, created a great deal of stress and anxiety for Mr. McCauley and his family. The acquittal, although coming as a great relief to Mr. McCauley and his family, cannot rectify the embarrassment and humiliation he and his family suffered as a result of the mere allegation," Farrell said in the prepared statement.
"The McCauleys would like to express their gratitude to all of their supporters in the community, their church, places of employment and other friends and family (who) continued to provide support and comfort to them during a very stressful time," he said.

The next night I played my first game, a fatal five way, and won. I was using my friend's Stromgald Scourge deck. I played with it for a few days, and constantly won, against people who had been playing for 5 years+.
It wasn't until a few days after that I purchased an Illusionary Might deck, which they said suited me and my playstyle. Honestly.. Yea, I have a lot of fun with it. Countering people is so satisfying..

In a special edition of Daily News and Analysis, the Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar, spoke about the threat of terorrism. In the last 20 years, 24,000 Indians have been victims of terorrism and so it has become a rising concern.
Terrorist organisations cannot function without having its internal roots in the country they wish to target. The internal roots are also called 'sleeper cells'. So how do these sleeper cells function? How do they easily escape the eyes of police forces and public safety providing agencies? It is believed that currently around 800 such sleeper cells exist within our nation.

Covering Sandy Relief in Superhero Mode
Residents' criticisms and media portrayal at odds
As soon as the water receded from the streets, media trucks and journalists descended upon coastal areas of New Jersey and New York City to report on Hurricane Sandy's damage. But recovery efforts by public and semi-public officials were slow in developing, leading to a media portrayal of the response that was a far cry from what many residents and activists saw.
Media Laugh Off Criticism of Drug War
Journalists make pot jokes while victims suffer
To those of a certain age, the image of eggs sizzling in a frying pan instantly evokes the Partnership For a Drug-Free America's 1987 "this is your brain on drugs" ad. But any group that wanted to draw attention to drug use in the 1980s and '90s didn't really need to buy ad space; media coverage was already saturated with sensationalized reporting on crack cocaine and other drugs (Extra!, 9/92). This plentiful drug coverage served to support U.S. government policy, encouraging public embrace of a heavy-handed crack-down that began under President Richard Nixon and was expanded by Ronald Reagan.

MSNBC MIA on Iran
More Obama boosterism than foreign policy examination
Getting independent, skeptical coverage of official claims about Iran—from its supposed nuclear weapons program (Extra!, 9-10/05, 1/12) to its alleged plans to launch terrorist attacks across the world (Extra!, 3/12)—is essential. One place you might expect to see more critical coverage is on supposedly left-leaning MSNBC. But when it comes to Iran, in what little coverage it offers the channel largely mirrors the Democratic Party line. For the most part, it was hard to find Iran on MSNBC. From January to April, two of MSNBC's stars, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz, brought it up only 16 and 14 times, respectively. […]

However, from an allied fleet of over 300, Voyager was the only ship to survive the Borg invasion force of over 7000 Borg cubes from the subspace tunnel within the nebula, and was able to emit a distress call to Starfleet Command. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals) While the ship was intact, it had its port warp nacelle sheared from its pylon by a grazing collision with a Borg Cube and was drifting in space. The Voyager crew were attempting to salvage material from the battle site to rebuild the nacelle before joining the USS Enterprise-E and the USS Aventine on their search for the source of the Borg invasion. VOY novel: Full Circle (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)
After the Borg Invasion of 2381, Voyager was refitted with a Quantum slipstream drive and made the flagship of Project Full Circle. Chakotay resigned after the Borg invasion and the ship was placed under the command of Captain Afsarah Eden. One of the first missions after getting into the Delta Quadrant would be to meet up with B'Elanna and Miral Paris, who had faked their own deaths. (VOY novel: Full Circle)
In 2402, the USS Voyager made first contact with the Lorians, an avian species.
U are aware that we are on about the timeline in STO, non of those events have happened in STO so its all a mute point.

Slightly more power than Head Liquidmetal Radical MP
Hi, Good day! just want to have some of your advices and suggestions:)
I've been playing with a pair of used LM Radical MPs with 17G polys for about 4yrs now, and I'm now thinking of getting a new pair of rackets. I'm hoping to get a new racket with:
1. Slightly more power than the LM Radical MP (This is the main factor)
2. Almost the same weight but not over as LM Radical MP
3. 18x20 string pattern is a plus
4. Just a little bit faster or easier to swing than the LM Radical MP (this one is not really important, but maybe a plus)
5. 100cm headsize (this one is not really important, but maybe a plus)
I would like to stick with Head (I'd like the rectangular grip size), I'm thinking of getting:
1. Head Youtek IG Instinct MP (because they are currently on sale :)
2. Head Youtek Graphene Instinct MP
3. Head YOUTEK IG Radical Midplus (I think this is my best choice?)
4. Head YOUTEK IG Radical Pro
5. Head YOUTEK IG Speed 18x20 (because they are currently on sale)
6. Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed MP
I'm a baseliner, hits a forehand as much a possible, full and fast swing, always hits the ball hard - if not yet tired :), most of my shots are topspin-drives (not much of a loop, looks like a flat topspin forehand), fairly consistent forehands (cross-court, down the line, inside-out), would always try to hit the ball hard-flat when the ball falls short, or in the service box. I play at least 3 times a week, 2 to 3 sets.
I still have a difficulty with my backhand (two handed) (specially on a big serves that were targeted on my backhand side), (so I thought that a racket that is easier to swing and has a 100cm head size would help?)
I'm currently trying a one-hand backhand and a slice backhand from time to time. Maybe it is just me but I'm thinking that a 98cm or a lower racket head size is not really ideal for a 2-handed backhand?:). I'm not really good in volleys or netting specially in doubles.
I'm actually leaning towards the Head Youtek IG Instinct MP, but it is the 16x19 string pattern (I'd like the 18x20 better) and the decreased weight that's stopping me, plus the reviews that it is a little unstable. I'm worried that I may not be able to hit the same forehand shots that I'm getting with my LM Radical MP, though I think it would help with my backhand.
Thanks a lot!
Forget power. The only thing you'll find looking for more power from racquets is less control. Seek For power in string; settle for great feel and control in racquets.
Try dropping the tension a few pounds
Change string and add weight to he handle to deal with bigger serves.
Head MicroGEL Radical MP
...You're welcome!
1. Head Youtek IG Instinct MP
I don't think this is the way you should go. When I tried it it had a small sweetspot, lacked power, and you had to swing it harder than a Radical. I think you might find it a step backwards. Thicker beam though.
(I now use BLX Pro Open.)
add 3-4g of lead at 12 and your backhand will be better
the youtek ig newer head models are terrible imo
I currently use a full bed of ISO Speed 17L poly (cheap string:) and the tension is 58lbs. I'll try to drop the tension maybe to 50lbs.
I've already before adding lead tapes at 3 and 9, then tried also at 10 and 2, I noticed that my flat serves was heavier and the racket was more stable, though after the game, I'm already feeling some pain in my arms. I haven't tried adding lead tapes at 12 and in the handle.
My first racket is a Prince Turbo Shark OS, and actually my 2handhed backhand before was decent with that racket. I just don't know why it is very hard for me to hit a backhand with my LM Radical MPs.
I'll try to look around again, actually I really need to replace them since the handles are already getting brittle and there are already cracks seen when I replaced the replacement grips. I just thought that I need a newer racket with slightly more power in it, 100cm head size, and a little bit easier to swing.
Thank you very much guys:):)
I would strongly recommend the HEAD Youtek IG Prestige MP
Head Youtek Instinct MP 18x19 (the golden one).
I'm checking it now and comparing it to the YOUTEK IG Prestige S, looks like this one is much closer to my LM Radical MP but with a little bit more power, (on my understanding based on the specifications:) so no need to add lead tapes.
Also recommend a look at the Prestige line. If you want some more juice from your gear and prefer the Head grip shape in your hand, you ought to think about a heavier alternative to your LM Radical that also has some flex.
I had a pair of LM Radicals a while back and found that they had a sort of governor in terms of the high end of their power... for me. No matter how I strung them up, I could only put so much of a thumping on the ball. Adding lead on both the hoops and grips of my Radicals was helpful, but I didn't keep them. My racquets have always had 12+ oz. heft and while those Radicals were certainly easier to handle and delivered rather nice feel, they were too lean and unstable for my game.
If you're concerned about the maneuverability of a heavier Prestige or something else, you can consider trying some lead on the handle to get yourself some extra head-light balance and probably some quicker handling. Even though my Radicals were "middleweights" in their stock layout, I liked them even more when they had some more HL balance - even before I added lead to their hoops. The truth is in the demos!
IF you like your current racquets, then increase the weight in a polarized fashion. Add weight to the handle and the head (12:00 noon), which increases swingweight, which increases power.
If you are not happy with your racquet, then use TW's racquet power comparison tool and put your top 3 choices along with your racquet it on there. it will tell you how much more powerful something is. Find a bunch that fit your requirements and then demo them.
Wow no wonder why you get no power, poly at 57, in a LM. Drop the tension to 50 or as much as you can handle, or switch to multifilaments at around 54, you will have more than enough power. If you don't like it you have 2 "cheap options" the first as someone said before the Head Radical MG MP should give you around 5% more power with the same setup and its around $90, or try the "old" blade 98 for $ 150. For the expensive options you can try the new blade 98, and if you want to go the 100'' way the babolat apd gt is 150 and the new one 200 (this is the most powerful racquet of all the ones I'm advising you) or the Head ig speed 18x20 150, or the nw speed pro graphene 18x20.
since you've got 2... I've added cap grommet to 1 of my LM Rad mids
and eschewing all tight poly for thin multis done looser
Imho now it swings more like Prestige but less ponderous
Youtek Prestige S feels similar too if you don't like modding,
bought 1 new last week. Feels more agile than other Ps.
If you'd like to swing faster, and get your juice that way, a lighter frame will help you to do that, and you will get some additional spin out of the deal. Swinging faster might also increase your unforced errors if it pops you out of your timing groove too much.
If you'd like to swing the same speed, but add a bit more pop, a higher sw will help you do that. You will get increased comfort, and increased stability on off center shots as a side bennie out of that bargain.
Hope this helps,
I have 2 LMRadMids in PuertoRico.
What I didn't like was the stiffness in the upper hoop, giving me shoulder problems on serves.
After doinking around a few or several choices, maybe I should look at the DunlopBio200 +.
I agree about dropping the tension to 50 and you could try an 18g poly main for more pop and spin.
If you do check out other frames though, try the new black Blade 98. I tried the 16x19 and thought, wow all those years I was looking for an MG Rad with more pop, this is it.
Hi, thank very much for all the suggestions and advices:)
I lowered the string tension from 58 to 52 (Isospeed 17L poly), and it felt really better! The power and even the control had increased. From what I know, a higher string tension should give more control, but it was the opposite. Lowering the tension to 52 felt like I can direct the ball much better with more power (the speed and power of the ball that I'm looking for!) compared with the string tension of 58.
I think I don't want to replace my LM Radical MP, but If I were to replace it (since my rackets are really old and worn out already), I think I want now a racket that is almost exactly like the LM Radical MP (a little heavier is ok, but now lighter). I know that this racket is still available, but I just want a newer model with a new look if I were to buy a new pair:)

Pienza : Michelin's recommendations
Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini was born in Pienza in 1405. At that time the town was known as Corsignano, but after Piccolomini, a humanist and art enthusiast, became Pope Pius II, he commissioned the Florentine Bernardo Rosselino, a pupil of Alberti, to transform his native town into an "ideal city" built according to Renaissance ideals. In recognition, the citizens of Corsignano changed the town's name to Pienza, a name inspired by that of the pope.

Jim Flaherty dies soon after quitting as Canada's finance minister
OTTAWA (Reuters) – Former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, who steered Canada through the global financial crisis and then nearly eliminated the huge budget deficits he had run up in the process, died on Thursday just weeks after resigning.
His family said he passed away peacefully in Ottawa, but did not give a cause of death. An unnamed source close to the family told CBC television that Flaherty, had suffered a massive heart attack. He was 64.

Quebec separatists lose election, referendum avoided
OTTAWA (Reuters) – The anti-separatist Quebec Liberal Party won a majority government in provincial elections on Monday, eliminating the possibility of a new referendum on independence from Canada for several years and crushing the separatist Parti Quebecois.
The election in the mainly French-speaking province had turned into a referendum on whether to hold another vote on separating from Canada, and the answer appeared to be a resounding "Non."

Quebec separatist party under threat in Monday election
OTTAWA (Reuters) – A month ago, Monday's election in Quebec seemed like such a good idea to the ruling Parti Quebecois, the largest separatist party in the mostly French-speaking Canadian province.
Premier Pauline Marois and her minority government hoped to take advantage of a comfortable lead in the polls to capture a majority of seats in the provincial legislature. That would enable them to push through a provincial charter on secularism and possibly set the stage for a new referendum on whether the province should leave Canada.
After Lac-Megantic disaster, CP Rail advocates shipper insurance
OTTAWA, April 3 (Reuters) – Governments should require

insurance to make up for shortfalls in coverage carried by
railways, the president of Canada's second-largest rail operator
said on Thursday.
Currently, there are no requirements in Canada for shippers

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Quebec citizens do not want a referendum on leaving Canada at the moment, separatist leader Pauline Marois said on Thursday, repeating that as long as that is the case she would not launch one if she is re-elected premier of the province.

Defining John Kerry
Just as Kerry has subtly reconfigured his criticism of the war, forging a position that covers a wider swath of opinion, he has occasionally adopted stances that challenge traditional liberal views and that can be viewed as attempts to broaden his political reach. In a 1992 speech on urban policy, Kerry briefly cited problems with affirmative action, saying it had created "a reality of reverse discrimination that actually engenders racism" and calling it "inherently limited and divisive." He did declare his support for the program, while advocating greater spending for the urban poor, but he came across as a second-thoughts liberal sympathetic to critics of the program. Civil rights leaders blasted him; columnists wondered whether Kerry was angling to be Bill Clinton's neolib running mate. He spent weeks defending the two paragraphs. After this dust-up, one civil rights lobbyist recalls, "Kerry didn't continue banging that drum."
Kerry's reluctance to be a traditional Democrat may have caused him difficulty in 1996. Running for a third term (in 1990 he had defeated a GOP millionaire), Kerry faced William Weld, the popular Republican frat-boy governor. And he appeared to be in trouble, as he emphasized his work on free trade and international affairs. "Rarely has an important political figure in [Massachusetts] engendered such passionless support," the Boston Globe reported. Weld led in some polls. "It was so tough to get Kerry to relax and be a Democrat," a Massachusetts consultant says. "He wanted to run a campaign of shrewd rethinking. He made the race harder than it had to be."
Organized labor came to his assistance. "We tried to explain to Kerry that Ted Kennedy [in a tough re-election two years prior] did well talking about education and healthcare--working-family issues," says Robert Haynes, the president of the state AFL-CIO. "And Kerry did come around to that sort of agenda." In one ad, Kerry featured locked-out union workers at Commonwealth Gas complaining about their lack of medical benefits. The unions toiled hard for Kerry--even though he opposed labor on NAFTA, fast-track trade authority and most-favored-nation status for China. ("We fight this battle with him on trade," says Haynes. "We agree on everything else.") The state teachers' union rallied members for Kerry. He won by eight points.
Less than two years later, Kerry's supporters at the teachers' union were aghast when, during the course of proposing a program of education reform, he called for ending teacher tenure. In a speech, Kerry attacked the school bureaucracy and "stultifying collective bargaining agreements" with teachers' unions. "This is how he paid us back," says a teachers' union official. "He leans more elitist than populist, and he tries to be ever-enigmatic. He defies people to clarify him as a traditional liberal. Makes you wonder where his convictions are." On education issues, Kerry has collaborated with the Democratic Leadership Council, the corporate-funded outfit that tries to tug the party to the right. "That's why it's accurate to say he's not a purebred Massachusetts liberal," notes Will Marshall, president of the DLC-affiliated Progressive Policy Institute.
Do Kerry's ideological diversions stem from conviction or calculation? A desire not to be typecast as a Massachusetts Democrat? (Remember Michael Dukakis?) His pollster Tom Kiley says, "He's always a little suspicious of liberal nostrums and is looking for other solutions." Another Massachusetts political consultant remarks, "He feels a desire to differentiate himself from Teddy Kennedy. That's been his struggle. He regards himself as a New Democrat, but he is seen as being a definer of the liberal wing of the party. But he's not like Bill Clinton, trying to reposition the party. It's more a matter of temperament." A longtime friend says, "He has been frustrating to those around him who have hoped for bolder progressive positions. His record--the war, BCCI--shows he cares about righting injustice. But he does not sufficiently understand the level of economic injustice that exists in this society. If his passion for justice finds its way into the economics of working- and middle-class Americans, he will be a very powerful candidate."
In the early jockeying, Kerry is likely to display his liberal leanings more than his DLC inclinations. "New Democrats do not inspire Democratic primary voters," says a Kerry adviser. At party events, Kerry does sound more like Ted Kennedy than DLC founder Al From. "No working American should give up life or limb to provide a bigger golden parachute to a failed executive who seeks to fail upwards," he told Democrats in Colorado in March, adding, "Why not have every citizen have access to decent health insurance?... Rather than spend $50,000 a year per prisoner to house young people in jail...why not invest $5,000 a year per child in after-school programs?" There was no talk of undoing the education establishment, rethinking affirmative action or celebrating welfare reform. And Kerry puts his own twist on the straight Democratic juice: "When I was in the Navy I learned about...brotherhood.... The Army says they never leave their wounded. The Marines say they never even leave their dead. All of us need to be Citizen Soldiers again--and as Americans we must never leave each other behind." One can see a campaign theme brewing, a message that marries traditional Democratic concerns--healthcare, social justice, the environment--with the traditional rhetoric of service and duty.

Mar 1, 2014I saw one episode of the show, and it was an incredibly weird experience. The jokes, the relationship between the main couple, the characterization--it's like watching familiar actors parodying Debra and Raymond on Everybody Loves Raymond!
Sometimes what should be dark comedy is just plain depressing. [8 Sep 2006, p.156]
Put it this way: Any comedy that milks multiple jokes from a character being named "Woodcock" is pretty much running on fumes.
The pilot plot... follows a well-worn path of sitcoms traceable back to when cavemen acted them out with large dinosaur bones as props.

The reason behind the Chaos Star conversion was very simply that I was way to hard with my discription on the bad stuff...so now if they roll 2 Chaos Stars it fits better
Posted 29 May 2014 - 10:43 AM
Mathematically, a purple die falls between 2 and 3 black, much closer to 2 than to 3 so my initial instinct is to reject that part of your proposal. However, your proposed change to the chaos star (being both a failure and a bane) pretty much rebalances that so (in your system) 1 purple is much closer to 3 black and it should work.
The area where I think you'll have trouble though is the Chaos and Comet cancellation.
- For one thing, cancelling the chaos star sort of undoes the rebalancing of the purple that you just did. With both in the mix, 3 black is once again harder than 1 purple, provided the active character has at least 1 level of skill.
- Overall you'll be increasing success rate (and reducing the bane/chaos-star consequences) for high-Rank characters. These are characters who for the most part really don't need any further boosts because their dice pools are already huge.
- There are also a number of cards and situations where having both symbols on the same roll is really interesting (you achieve maximum effect with your spell but you also trigger a miscast; the orc crits you but also kills some of his henchmen; your momentum takes you over the cliff but you manage to grab a hold with one hand and are now dangling; etc). Making those symbols cancel out will eliminate some of the most interesting results in favor of the bland middle.

Just to throw a wrench in there...we are overall dissatisified by the whole yellow and White dice regarding skills...imo if you are specialized you would be a lot better than a normal trained militta man...so we are considering a swap..
Trained gives 1 White, specialized gives 1 yellow (you Can now specialize more times in hand weapon...max equal to training in melee wp)
And dropping the whole specialize in your skill because you invested in it during your advance...pehaps giving 2 free relevant skill Increase insted
In the end i guess it makes the same Dicepool for a "fighter" type...but it makes a Big diffrent for char who need to bye non-career advances to get melee skill
Still i see you point in the cancellaction and Think we Will follow that
Posted 29 May 2014 - 11:21 AM
I think you are on the right track. Possibly discount the first red bane somehow.
Ahh to make reckless more attractive??
We have not had the same problem with the red dice...from the get go they all were in conservative stance...unless a roleplaying aspect "makes" them go reckless...we still consider reckless high Dam output...and its more a desperate gamble...
The problem Emirikol is alluding to is that when you analyze the math of it all, the green dice are much better than the red.
Green dice are more likely (than red) to achieve success in general, and less likely to have unwanted side-effects. That would be fine if the red dice had some reasonable advantage to balance it out, but in practice they really don't. Yes, red dice score more successes, but it's very rare that you need more than 3 successes so any beyond that are generally wasted. It mostly works out okay at Rank 1, but once the PCs have Skill 2 or a bunch of Fortune dice they no longer need the bonus successes. Even characters that benefit from the Red side of the card are usually better off going no deeper than 1 step into Reckless (provided there's at least 7 good dice in their pool). Once your players have done the math on that, the whole Stance mechanic loses its luster.
There is an optional rule in the GM's toolkit (+1 damage per extra success, capped by your skill ranks) that fixes that somewhat but only for attacks (and mostly just for high-Rank characters) and does so at the cost of increasing PC mortality. The "Enhance" cards from Omens of War and Hero's Call help a little as well (by reducing your dice pool for other benefits, thereby making the remaining red dice a little sexier) but again almost exclusively for attacks. The stars have to be just right for anyone to ever get a benefit from the second step of Reckless stance, especially outside of combat.
Emirikol's notion of reducing the downsides of the red die are interesting, but I'd be much happier if we instead accentuated the strengths of the red dice. Red should be the high-risk, high-reward option. As they stand, they're the high-risk, moderate reward option (and green are the low-risk, low-but-consistent-reward option). Ignoring the first bane would make them the low-risk, moderate-reward option... and I'm just not convinced that's really an improvement. I guess it technically is better than what we've got right now in terms of mathematics, but it makes the differences between the two die types less pronounced and less interesting.

I was thinking about converting 3 succeses to 1 boon...or pehaps 2-1...that would up the crit especially with the red yes??

And now we are getting crunchy :-)
I was thinking about converting 3 succeses to 1 boon...or pehaps 2-1...that would up the crit especially with the red yes??
Yes, technically it would, but I don't particularly like the way it does it. Mostly in that:
- It would reduce the downside of the red dice, making them more like the green. Still probably an improvement, overall, but at the cost of a little bit of flavor. Ideally, you want red dice to have the best odds of scoring a big hit with a negative side effect, while green scores more modest hits but no banes. This change, like what Emirikol proposed, really just makes the two die types more similar.
- It would invalidate a handful of Talent cards that do something similar (particularly if you use the the 2-to-1 conversion rate). Not a huge deal (especially if it's just 3 unused successes = +1 boon), but a minor knock against it. Mostly just an argument for 3-to-1 instead of 2-to-1.
As for the second part of what you said:
that would up the crit especially with the red yes??
Increasing crits all around isn't really a desirable thing in my opinon. Crits are something of a problem in that they really harm the heroes, but rarely inconvenience an NPC. Players mostly don't care much about inflicting crits because raw damage will usually drop the enemy long before the crit's printed penalty manages to cause them any hardship. There are exceptions (we had an upgraded Chaos Knight get dropped by two lucky back-to-back concussion cards a few sessions ago), but in general bonus crits aren't sexy to the players. (Other boon effects are, though, so maybe it's a net gain.)
Example: A huge percentage of existing crits are (comparatively) lame things like "+1 black on Fellowship checks". When that lands on an Orc, it's effectively nothing. That Orc will never roll anything but Strength. The GM doesn't usually care about how many days it takes the NPC to heal because the goal is for the Orc to provide a brief challenge in one scene and then die. That same crit on a PC, however, is much more meaningful and dire, both because they'll actually roll Fellowship, and also because PCs need to be mindful of healing rates and the dangers of getting enough crits to die or trigger the bottom half of a severe wound card.

You may want to check this excel file done some time ago by I don't remember who. It will allow you to do some maths. In this one I changed the comets to also count as successes, and in this one Comets count as successes and Chaos stars as failures. You can easily modify the excel to add remove effects, like chaos stars counting as banes too.

Regarding the crits...I was kinda thinking 3 ways of making them matter for npc aswell... (Pehaps both)
1. Those crits that don't have an actual in Combat effect...let the pc agument for an in Combat effect...-1 fellowship...that might be..."my axe glances of the helmet of the guard, cutting open the left brow, blood begins to seep Down in his eye"...add 1 White dice to attacks against the guard, the next severity number of times... Or somthing in that regard...
2. Max numbers of crits equal to toughness...regardless of wounds...(boss fights is like normal)
3 add the severity of the crits...when/if they exceed total wounds...last crit kills the NPC...
All the above to help the red dice gain potens (Exchange 3success to 1 boon)

I think it's actually +2 recharge tokens in RAW (and nasty enough you can put them on any action, not only on the action used by the player, even on actions that are not currently recharging. I love recharge on curry favour when the character meant to quick cast a blessing.)

I was thinking on making the sides:
2 double swords
1 double banes
2 single swords
1 blank
2 bane and sword ( changed single bane and chaos star)
With the add-on that 3 misfortune converts to 1 (normal) challenge die, there is still chance of getting the Chaos Star so the effects on action cards Can trigger.
also regarding the reckless dice...enhance dam +1 (or 2) pr step deep in reckless...and no converting successes to boons but What to do out of Combat??

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Jim Ware studied at Fuller Theological Seminary and resides in Colorado Springs with his family. A longtime book enthusiast, Jim is also a Celtic musician, a storyteller and an amateur folklorist. He has worked at Focus on the Family as a correspondence writer, answering people's letters for seventeen years, which led to an opportunity to write scripts for Focus on the Familys Adventures in Odyssey radio drama.
There are many small but significant points brought up in this book, such as the word daemon does not actually refer to what we would consider a demon. Another is that the idea behind The Authority does not exactly represent God as tyrant, but as a pretender, such as Lucifer. Several other ideas come out of the fact that the main character in the His Dark Materials series, Lyra, is a person who believes that lying is the easiest way to bypass all of her problems. Although, later in the series she comes to realize that deception does not always work and soon decides to stop her lying.
Shedding Light on His Dark Materials is set up with a specific subject from the series that seems controversial to Christians. Each chapter begins with a small excerpt from a certain chapter from the trilogy that relates to the subject posed. After showing the small piece of the story, the authors explain their own views on Pullmans books and show how they can derive a hidden spiritual message from this.
With such conflicting ideas within Pullmans series, its no wonder that some people may find themselves outraged at the idea of God being the vile, egotistical villain. One of the points covered in this book is the idea of how The Authority may not be God. Whereas Pullmans intent was a stab at God, exactly by referring to Him. The authors bring up the point that this may not refer to God, but someone else. In the chapter about The Authority, they write, In the end, the Authority Lord Asriels army hopes to overthrowthe God for whom Mrs. Coulter prescribes a merciful killing, the Tyrant angels hope to defeatturns out to be a familiar enemy. Despite the names Pullman attaches, the Authority is really none other than Luciferthat one who carries the foul odor of rebellion against the sanity of submission. (p. 79)
Overall, Kurt Bruner and Jim Ware have done an amazing job in this new book. It is extremely well-written and contains many helpful theories that bring about new meaning to Philip Pullmans trilogy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is unsure as to whether or not they should try reading the His Dark Materials series, or to any fans already who are interested in learning more about the hidden spiritual ideas within the series.
