Charles C. Hume Deputy Chief Officer, Health Systems Veterans Health Administration Veterans Affairs Department
The work: Developing interagency processes for managing the expansion of an integrated electronic health record program.
The impact: The Joint Interoperability Ventures program is expected to provide a model for improved collaboration between the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs on IT projects.
The nuts and bolts: The program made it possible to transfer radiological images and reports between the Naval Station Great Lakes and the North Chicago VA Medical Center, eliminating the need for redundant tests and enhancing quality of care. Hume also championed the use of a common portal so that federal health care center patients do not need to register with both DOD and VA.

I wrote a Morale system that seems to be getting a fair amount of traffic and i've had a chance to test it at the table, played some internet games with it, and some meatspace games too. I hate it. It's shit.
There's too much of a pause in my brain, having to think about assigning a DC, based on the motivations of the Random Orc #4 my players are merrily cleaving through - fuck it. So. Back to the drawing board, here's my ultra-lightweight 5e Morale System:
Its built upon the same core idea as the last one, but instead of assigning a DC based on the morale of the combatant, its based on their important to my game.
DC6 = Villain/Major Badguy
DC11 = Lieutenant/Underboss
DC16 = Mook/Hireling
This way there's almost no conscious thought about what DC to use, I already know how important someone is, and crucially whether it really matters if they are putting up a fight and getting 'screen-time'.
Furthermore, i'm scrapping any stat bonus to the roll. Just a raw d20. It will still give a nice curve of randomness, and it's another modifier that I don't have to flip through shit to get to. Maybe you could give your BBEG advantage on the roll, or let players intimidate and roleplay to give them disadvantage too?
I'll give this a test in tonights Roll20 game, hopefully we wont see v3.0

Where Adventure's At
All the fantasy films I used to watch as a kid involved a journey, usually long and with some mild peril (unless its 'Water-ship Down' then its not mild peril, its childhood scarring fuck-uppery) It seems to make good sense, the reason the journey was long, and perilous - is that the location itself is hard to find or get to. Duh.
So heres a generator to find out where "that thing the heroes need to get to" is. I've called it, as the post title suggests - Where Adventures At.

A Random Esoteric Tome Generator for D&D
"It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it."
Click to Find out what Volume you Find..
Book Rules
Here's how books work in my game, these are WIP as i'm still trying to find out a nice and interesting method for research and discovery of shit the players may want. (If you have any good suggestion, please do let me know)
Every book can be studied for a period of 4 hours (as a base, the quality of the book will affect this), after which a character will have advantage on the first skill roll they make in the subject matter of that book. Every book has two distinct qualities i'm concerned about:
- The Quality of Authorship - This measures an authors ability to write in a coherent or manner conducive to learning. Rated on a scale from 1 to 6, 1 being barely readable, if at-all, ramblings of a madman. 6 is the works of a gifted scribe with a mind for beautiful and engaging prose.
1-2 - Rambling and Incoherent (Takes 6 hours to read)
3-4 - Moderate to Skilled Author (Takes 4 hours to read)
5-6 - Superlative Masterwork (Takes 2 hours to read)
- Knowledge contained Therein - This measures the amount of actual useful information a reader can garner from a volume, this property gives a number that indicates how many times a volume may be read before the reader can no longer gain more information from it. They have read it cover to cover and digested every word.
Pamphlet - This can be read 1 time.
Minor Essay - This can be read 2 times.
Lengthy Dissertation - This can be read 4 times.
Collection of Works - This can be read 8 times.
Academic Study - This can be read 16 times.
Encyclopaedia Volume - This can be read 32 times.
Lengthy Dissertation - This can be read 4 times.
Collection of Works - This can be read 8 times.
Academic Study - This can be read 16 times.
Encyclopaedia Volume - This can be read 32 times.
You can randomly roll all that information, plus a subject matter (as related to the skill list- I think at some stage i'll expand or change this part) Roll it Here.

What's odd about that character..
Shameless re-post from Grog of Substantial Whimsy. I've barely read a fraction and some of them are so good - I couldn't not create a generator and keep them in a place where i'll seem them again. Here some I picked out form the first 300 (700 more to read) Personally i'll be bending these into weird NPC traits.

18th Annual Pain Management Symposium
Be an Einstein: Use the Brain to Treat Pain
Friday, September 26, 2014
Swedish Education and Conference Center
Swedish Cherry Hill
500 17th Avenue
Seattle, Washington
The mind is a powerful tool that can play a large role in chronic pain management. Pain and the brain are interconnected; treating pain without addressing co-morbid problems and symptoms may lead to failure of the treatment plan. Patient attitudes towards success, behaviors that lead to addiction, mental health and pain neuroplasticity all affect the likelihood of effective management of a patient's chronic pain.
This symposium will create a forum for clinicians to improve their pain management skills and apply a combination of multidisciplinary treatment options to improve patient outcomes. Attendees will see first-hand two examples of programs that are striving to provide pain patients with a comprehensive treatment and intervention plan to address their pain management needs. Attendees will learn how to apply these techniques to their own practice. In addition to opioid and buprenorphine treatment plans, expert faculty will cover topics such as motivational interviewing, problematic patient behaviors, risk evaluation and patient monitoring to treat the mind and body of the pain patient. Sessions will include lectures, role play, interactive discussions and online supplemental materials.

Buoyed by the tremendous response it got to its gold coins sale last Diwali, India Post is offering special schemes and discounts on its sale this festive season.
"We have come up with a special offer for customers buying India Post gold coins. For every 10 gram gold coin purchased from post offices, we are giving half gram gold coin free," Department of Posts General Manager (Business Development) John Samuel told The Hindu.
"We are also offering 6 per cent discount on purchase of gold coins of any denomination in any quantity to both the Central and State government employees. Even retired government employees are eligible for this scheme. Customers can walk into over 700 post offices across the country to avail the offer," he said.
The department was focusing on gold coins of low-end denominations of 0.5 gm., 1 gm., 5 gm., 8 gm. and 20 grams.
"We started selling gold coins two years back and the response from people, particularly small investors, has been overwhelming. The move has helped the department earn more revenue. The 24 carat gold coins contain the India Post logo and are manufactured by Valcambi, Switzerland. They come with the benefits of internationally recognised certification, quality packaging and product standardisation," he said.
"Indians are the largest consumer of gold in the world. Research reveals that they continue to privately hold around 18,000 tonnes and consume around 700 tonnes of new gold every year. We provide various saving instruments to people, and gold coins give one more option to our customers to invest for their secure future," Mr. Samuel added.

text: In 2008 the Republicans didnt even field a candidate against Democrat Todd Book in the race for Ohios 89th District seat in the Ohio House of Representatives now the voters have elected one.A thunderous applause and cheers that lasted around five minutes broke out shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday when Dr. Terry Johnson walked through the door at the Scioto County Court House.I feel that we are at the end of a very long journey, Johnson said. We started this last summer. And I emphasize the we. This isnt about me. Its about everybody on our team and everybody that believed that we could win this. And tonight our destiny is fulfilled.Johnson, a Scioto County physician who served two tours of duty in Iraq defeated another Scioto County resident, Democrat Ron Hadsell, in a district that extends into Lawrence and Adams counties.Johnson picked up 13,660 votes to Hadsells 9,356 and Lamberts 324 votes in Scioto County. In Adams County Johnson picked up 2,088 votes to Hadsells 914 and Lamberts 75. In Lawrence County it was 4,707 for Johnson, 3,637 for Hadsell. Hadsell found himself playing catch-up right out of the chute after defeating Mike Crabtree for the Democratic nomination. Crabtree had been anointed by the Ohio Democratic party, and Hadsell took him down, leading to a conflict within the ranks of the party when Crabtree turned around and endorsed Johnson. Crabtree was taken to task by Scioto County Democratic Party Chairman Randy Basham, who referred to him as a turncoat.Johnson came through the Republican primary unscathed, and had momentum going into the campaign.We know what our priority is here in Scioto County. Its what is killing us. Its prescription drug abuse. Its getting our community healed. Its bringing people back together, Johnson said. My base goes Independent, goes Democrat, goes Republican. Thats where it is. I want people to come over and help me. I want to help them. And I want to move the community forward.In January 2011 Johnson will replace Book who is a victim of Ohios term limits law. Book had announced he would be a candidate for Ohios 2nd Congressional District, but backed out due to the heavy workload he had in Columbus, most notably Ohios two-year budget which occupied much of the attention of legislators in 2009.Johnson, Scioto County Coroner, received his largest endorsement when the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #33 chose to get behind him.Johnson was asked about his plans when he arrives in Columbus to take the 89th District seat.Im coming out swinging, Johnson said. Im hitting the deck with both feet, and Im running. We saw it coming but you cant say something like this is coming. The minute you say it, it evaporates. We knew we were ahead back in the summer. We had a set of polls that showed us ahead decisively, and another set of polls three weeks ago showed us the same thing. We kept that very close to the vest. And we just told people that we had a chance to win this if we all kept working hard and kept our hearts pure.Early in the evening scores of Hadsell supporters gathered around the video tabulation screen. However, around 10 p.m. that crowd appeared to be replaced by Johnson supporters.Hadsell was not reachable by phone by the Times deadline.Frank Lewis may be reached at (740) 353-3101, ext. 232, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Defining spill's accountability
Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) 06/23/10 11:19 PM EDT
When the BP Deepwater Horizon first sank to the sea floor engulfed in flames we were told 1,000 barrels of oil per day were leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. Quickly, that estimate jumped to 5,000. Suddenly, estimates were hiked to 12,000, then 20,000 and now, perhaps, as much as 60,000 barrels a day.

A couple of weeks ago I brought you the tremendous news that Victoria's Secret was going to air a Swim Special in February to bookend their awesome lingerie fashion show.
A couple of weeks ago I brought you the tremendous news that Victoria's Secret was going to air a Swim Special in February to bookend their awesome lingerie fashion show.
Because everything has to have a teaser now, even commercials, Victoria's Secret just released this over one-minute long Super Bowl commercial promo showing some of their models including Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima and Lily Aldridge playing the sexiest game of football we've ever seen.
I know that this Victoria's Secret Angels blooper reel doesn't do much to put to bed the stereotype that models aren't that that smart, but there's a reason they're models and not actresses.
Victoria's Secret is in full marketing mode with their annual fashion show set to hit TV next month and as a part of that effort they're sharing some videos that purportedly show how some of their models get in that sweet, sweet runway shape.
For years the release date of the annual Pirelli Calendar was etched in brains of men the world over.
Victoria's Secret, as we have stated before, makes the best commercials, but damn, this new one called "A Scandalous Holiday" featuring Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge might be their hottest one yet.
The releasing of the Fantasy Bra by Victoria's Secret signals that it's almost time for that annual day of glory known as the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
In tonight's Who Would You Rather we pit the two highest paid models in the world, Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima.
Here's a hint as to who the highest paid model in the world is: she's Brazilian.
Kia is breaking out the big guns with some new World Cup commercials featuring Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima and except for one small detail they're pretty much perfect.
We've heard of people going on the rebound after a breakup but Adriana Lima hooking up with Justin Bieber.
Life's fair.

Porsha Williams Boyfriend 2014: Stewart Dating African Old Man? EXCLUSIVE
LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Porsha Williams' boyfriend 2014 was revealed, generally, on RHOA last night. Who is Porsha Williams dating, who is Porsha Stewart's boyfriend, and is she dating Norris Cole or LeSean McCoy? Last night, Cynthia Bailey accused Porsha Williams of dating an man for bags and a car on RHOA. But after that line aired, at least one cast member edited the remark in her twitter post. The addition was that Porsha Williams' boyfriend 2014 is an "African" old man. In fact, that revelation sparked a massive Twitter war that lasted all night between Ms Porsha and Peter Thomas over who is romancing someone on the show only for money.
LALATE previously exclusively reported that Porsha Williams lost her peach as a full RHOA housewife due to her own flip-flopping with producers. In her WWHL one on one with Andy Cohen after the RHOA 6 Reunion, Cohen asked Porsha Williams who she is dating and who bought her that quarter million dollar Rolls Royce. Porsha Williams told Cohen that she had found love, and that if invited back to RHOA for season 7, she would reveal his name.

Reports claim that, despite being hired back for RHOA 7, Porsha flip flopped on her production promise to fans and never revealed on camera her boyfriend's identity. That lack of clarity led to a lack of storyline for the RHOA star and lack of insight into her love life. BravoTV felt that the Kordell Stewart storyline ran its course by early in the RHOA7 season. Later this month, Claudia Jordan will be seen getting cozy with Kordell at Bar One Charlotte. After that scene, Porsha's Kordell storyline had run its course, BravoTV believed.
Meantime, "Kordell is absolutely back on the market", Claudia told WetPaint. Kenya Moore told Hollywood Life as well, "Well Claudia and Kordell have a history and you'll have to watch the show to see what history that's about, and if there was a romantic development or not. But I can give you that juicy tid-bit. They do have a history – a long, long history." Porsha claims that there are rumors about Kordell and Claudia. But that is all false. "If that is what floats her boat, so be it," Porsha states. "I myself am a little more of a girl's girl, I respect the girl code at all times. But hey, if rumors are true, then they can have at it!"

Last night, one cast member (not Peter) claimed on Twitter that Porsha was not just flip flopping for cars and bags but also doing sow it an old African man, LALATE can report. LALATE can further report that the Norris Cole or LeSean McCoy dating reports may have been just decoys for press.
Recently Porsha was asked on DishTV "you like a Philadelphia Eagles"? Porsha replied "they have a chance this year." Then she was asked "has any player on the Philadelphia Eagles [dated you]", and does his name rhyme with Chips A-hoi?" When Porsha said she did not know what they were talking about, her costars asked "LeSean McCoy!" Porsha laughed and refused to answer.

Rescheduled Jerusalem accounting conference opens in November.
The 5th Jerusalem Conference on Accountancy, originally scheduled for November 1990, was postponed because of the Middle East hostilities. With peace restored to the region, the international accounting conference has been rescheduled for November 17-20, 1991.
The agenda remains the same. The principal topics include harmonization and standard setting in the accounting world; harmonization of auditing standards and rules of professional conduct; and diversification, management and marketing in an accounting firm. When necessary, papers for the conference were updated to reflect changes in the past year.
The sponsoring Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel has been able to retain an impressive lineup of speakers. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) will hold a semiannual meeting in Jerusalem just before the conference, and IFAC President Bertil Edlund will open the Jerusalem conference.
Scheduled speakers include Thomas W. Rimerman, 1990-91 chairman of the American Institute of CPAS board of directors; A. Marvin Strait, past AICPA chairman; Edmund Coulson, former chief accountant, Securities and Exchange Commission; Arthur Wyatt, chairman of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC); David Tweedie, chairman of the United Kingdom accounting standards board; and Justice Miriam Ben Porath, state comptroller of Israel.
At least 400 international guests and 800 Israeli CPAS are expected to attend the conference. English will be the official language, with simultaneous translations in Spanish, French and Hebrew.
Spouses' tours will be available during the conference, and both preconference and posteonference tours have been arranged.
For registration and other information, contact The 5th Jerusalem Conference on Accountancy, P.O. Box 50006, Tel Aviv 61500, Israel. Telephone: 972-3-654571; FAX: 972-3-655674; TELEX: 341171 KENS IL.

Like Carole, I wore this scent when I was 17 and I am 71 now! My boyfriend went to New York City on his senior trip and sniffed all the perfumes at Macy's. He picked this one. I assumed it was no longer made. I'm thrilled to find it here. I look forward to the day it comes back in stock so I may order it and relive my youth!

Searched for Antilope for quite a while and finally found it on FragranceNet. Received many compliments on aroma. Can be worn day or night. Thank you so much.

I used this when I was 17 and now I'm 70 and wanted to rediscover it. Wonderful that we have the internet.
Written by Carole on October 26, 2012Read Review details ►
I really wish that Weil would bring back the perfume oil and perfume. The cologne, or whatever you call this watered down version of "smell"-- currently sold-- almost totally destroys the beautiful, subtle, lasting qualities of this once wonderful fragrance.
Written by Carol on December 18, 2011Read Review details ►
I actually wanted to classify this as aldehydic, which it is. Subtle, a little soapy with a gentle powdery finish, and complex. I can't break the notes out on this. It's a lovely abstract scent, I suppose. Like everything Weil it is womanly and classic.

Les Gets
Les Gets is a wonderful ski resort with charm yet practical with extensive skiing. It has reliable snow, great and varied skiing, a lovely atmosphere, and very beautiful and often stunning scenery. A long way removed in style from the purpose built resorts of France, the location and facilities help to make this possibly the outstanding all round ski resort in the French Alps which is why a Daily Mail (UK) journalist described it as the "hidden jewel of the Alps".
Somewhat unknown to some as it does not feature large tour operators (not suitable for lots of people on buses to be dropped off at large hotels and buildings.....), its clientele is a loyal and established, and growing all the time.
Once in the Portes du Soleil circuit you will never tire of the range or area. With over 220 lifts and 600 kilometres of pistes, this ski range offers a variety and snow sure skiing to match anywhere in the world.

Recipe by PEPPERMYNTS
"Cornmeal is simmered in a thick pudding sweetened with maple syrup. I'm not sure where this recipe came from, my mother would make it for us before school on cold winter days."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 cups
1 cup
1 cup
1/4 cup
maple syrup, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/4 cup
cottage cheese
2 tablespoons
grape jelly
I had never sweetened my corn meal mush before. This tasted good with the all fruit grape jelly on top of Greek yogurt (I didn't have any cottage cheese).
This is good. My son hates oatmeal but loves this. I made it today with milk, and used ricotta cheese in the topping, which made it a little more luxurious.
I have seen an Italian recipe in a magazine for sweet polenta with milk (polenta cremosa con latte freddo). Both this recipe and the polenta recipe call for 45 min cooking times. However, I am usually running late in the morning- I don't know if these recipes are using a coarser ground cornmeal but I have gotten away with bringing to a boil and simmering maybe 5 min and it is smooth and creamy.
4 Ratings
This recipe was more labor intensive than some of my entrees. This MIGHT work with oatmeal, but not cornmeal.

If they used a little compression, mixed with high resolution textures, we would have the same fps we have now. Not to mention its forcing 8xAF. The low quality textures is just a result of the game taking far too long then they expected. They are definetely not gonna go back and redo the textures everytime a new generation of video cards come out. I think they the conversation went a little like this like this:
(Team id) Holy ****! Look at how fast the 5950 renders doom3! lets bump up the graphics a little for those guys.
(carmack) Sure, just allow High quality to force 8x AF so it looks better to the noobs who dont know what AF is.
1 year later....
(Team id) Holy ****!!! the 6800U runs the game and insane fps! What will we do for these guys?
(carmack) Screw it! Make an Ultra setting that disables all texture compression, and lighting compression!!!! We dont have time to redo our games biggest graphical flaw... textures.

Removed features
|Version history and upcoming features
|This page contains content that is no longer in the game.
These features only exist in outdated versions of Minecraft.
Since the beginning of Minecraft's development, there have been a number of features that were removed from the game. These features may have been replaced, or a developer decided against the feature later on.
Note that this page only documents game features that were removed, features of a particular game element that were removed are noted in that element's history.
- 1 Blocks and items
- 2 Generated structures
- 3 Mobs
- 4 Unused
- 5 Other
- 6 References
Blocks and items[edit]
Horse saddle[edit]
Horse Saddles were items that were added in 13w16a, along with horses that worked just like regular saddles, but for horses instead of pigs. Taming a horse was required before putting a horse saddle on it. The horse saddle was craftable using the following recipe:
The item ID used was 416, which refers to the armor stand in current versions.
Horse saddle items were later removed from the game in 13w18a, and normal saddles are now used for both pigs and horses.[1][2]
Infinite Water Source[edit]
Solid Block
|Blast resistance
|Data value
dec: 52 hex: 34 bin: 110100
|Note: The data value refers to the monster spawner in current versions of Minecraft
The Infinite Water Source was a block that would create infinite water, which would replicate infinitely to fill up volumes. They were added originally in Indev (January 24, 2010) to allow for infinite lakes on floating maps.[3]
It was available as block ID 52, until it was replaced with the monster spawner in Infdev Seecret Friday 2 (June 25, 2010).
Infinite Lava Source[edit]
Solid Block
|Blast resistance
|Data value
dec: 53 hex: 35 bin: 110101
|Note: The data value refers to oak stairs in current versions of Minecraft
Similar to the infinite water source, the Infinite Lava Source was a block that created infinite lava which would replicate infinitely to fill up volumes. It was also added in Indev (January 24, 2010).
It was available as block ID 53, until it was replaced with oak stairs in Alpha 1.0.0 (June 28, 2010).
Locked chest[edit]
Locked chests were an April Fools block. Pressing use on the chest would bring up a screen, and clicking on the "Go to Store" button would forward you to the "Minecraft Store".
Generated structures[edit]
Brick pyramid[edit]
For a brief time, brick pyramids were large structures that generated far away from the spawn point. These pyramids were completely solid; they had no interior rooms. A strange quality about these pyramids is that if one dug under it, a layer of dirt and stone extended under the pyramid. This suggests it spawned right on top of the terrain instead of being a complete pyramid with the bottom underground (such as desert temples). Pyramids were removed in later versions of Infdev.
Obsidian wall[edit]
Obsidian walls were used in Infdev to mark the positions of the cardinal directions. This created two intersecting planes extending just above the surface of the solid material that surrounds them. This has long since been removed.
Beast Boy, Black Steve, Steve, Rana[edit]
Beast Boy, Black Steve, Steve and Rana were human mobs originally in-game as a test during the Indev phase. They were made by "Dock", Minecraft's past artist, and were removed from the game when Dock left the development team in early 2010. These mobs had no animation and glided around in the same pose. Upon death, Beast Boy, Black Steve and Steve could drop 1-2 string, 1-2 feathers, 1-2 gunpowder and 0-1 flint and steel, while Rana could drop 0-2 apples, 0-5 roses and 0-2 feathers. Beast Boy, Black Steve and Steve each had 5 () while Rana had 13 ().
Humans were hostile mobs which take the form of clones of the default skin.
Generic villager[edit]
Generic villagers were a type of villager. In 1.3.1, the ability to spawn them was added, though it required external tools or mods. In 1.7 and above, they could be spawned using
/summon Villager ~ ~ ~ {Profession: -1}. They only had one trade: 7-9 gold ingots for 1 emerald. In 14w02a, due to changes in the trading system, attempting to trade with generic villagers will crash the game. In 14w20a, generic villagers were removed from the game, as villagers with negative profession IDs become farmers.
These features never had any use in game.
On January 25, 2010, Notch posted a video of the cogs being placed onto the wall of a cliff.[4]
In Indev on January 26, 2010, the code for cogs (originally named Gear) was added. It could only get obtained by inventory hacking and was invisible in the inventory. When hacked into the game, cogs could only be placed on a side of any block, placing them in a space where two sides are next to each other would cause two cogs to appear on both sides. Placed cogs were impossible to destroy; any mining directed at a cog phased through to the block behind it, much like water. If the block a cog was on was destroyed, the cog was not removed, but oddly, was invisible. The cog still existed in the map and would show up again if a solid block was replaced. Cogs placed in mid-air using a map editor were also invisible and would show up if a block was placed next to them. Cogs can be only removed using water to flow on them. A cog's sprite consisted of two parts; the center rod and the animated gear.
In Infdev on February 27, 2010, Gear was renamed to Cog, and later on June 27, 2010, it was removed.
Cogs had a data value of 55, which was replaced by redstone in Alpha 1.0.1.
Crying obsidian[edit]
Crying obsidian was a texture in Minecraft for an abandoned project to implement a spawn-point changing obelisk.[5][6][7][8] It was abandoned after the introduction of beds.[9] It would have been crafted with an obsidian block and lapis lazuli.[10]
The texture for crying obsidian was removed in Beta 1.5.
On February 9, 2012, Jeb was asked "Can you bring back Crying Obsidian or add some new color/texture blocks?" to which he responded "As soon as I've made preparations for more texture space."[11]
In Indev's terrain.png were two textures which might be interpreted as a chair (side and front). The actual purpose of those textures is unknown. The second texture might be the side view of a table. On Notch's blog, The Word of Notch, furniture, and more specifically chairs, are mentioned a few times.[12][13][14][15]
Minecraft user Miclee came up with the idea for pigmen.[16] He was given the Bacon Cape as a reward, but when Notch was asked for personal capes by other users, the Bacon Cape was taken away from Miclee to prevent further commotion.
Notch mentioned April 25, 2011 that he might add pigmen as villages' townspeople.[17] Although in the Beta 1.9 pre-releases, a different villager mob was introduced.
In 1.6.2, the texture file was removed from Minecraft.
An unclickable Play Tutorial Level button was added during Indev. It could be found on the main screen. It was finally removed during the transition from Alpha to Beta stage, but no such tutorial level existed between Indev and Beta.
A texture known in the game files as "skis.png", was added in the 1.4.6 update. Its textures were added by Dinnerbone as a red herring.[18] The texture was removed in 1.6 (Horse Update).
Studded armor[edit]
Studded armor was several sprites that were added sometime around Indev 0.31 in items.png. They were taken from Notch's unfinished game, Legend of the Chambered, along with other armor sprites. The sprites were never implemented into gameplay and were eventually removed.
Calm4.ogg was a music file (alongside the other tracks) that was beta-tested and created by Notch himself.
It consists of an up-beat, battle-like tune. At 1:36 in the song, you can hear Notch saying "Mojang Specifications" in a slowed-down voice.
The track was released around Alpha 1.1.1 (Seecret Saturday 10), but it is unknown when and why it was omitted from the downloaded game files. As such, players who had the game while the song was still in it will continue to hear it being played, as the game will play any song in the
.minecraft/resources/music folder.
Isometric screenshot[edit]
In the Indev versions of the game, you can take a screenshot of the map from an isometric perspective using F7.
A Theme is the general style the level generator uses to create maps. Added in 0.31 update in January 7, 2010, it dramatically affects Indev mode's game mechanics (such as monster spawn zones and boundary liquid). Paradise and Woods themes were added in Indev update on February 14, 2010. Themes were removed for later on in the middle of infdev and are comparable to biomes in Alpha, Beta, and current Minecraft versions.
Void fog[edit]
Starting in Beta 1.8, black Void fog existed which increased with depth as the player descended past Y=17. As the player traveled deeper, the fog at the edge of the render distance would become grow closer, until the player reached the deepest depths, where visibility was reduced to just a few blocks, beyond which lay only blackness. There were also dark gray void particles that appeared at level 16 and below, plus in the void.
Void fog and the void particles were removed in snapshot 14w34c for release version 1.8. The main reason for its removal was to increase performance.[19]
Winter mode[edit]
Winter mode was a randomly occurring map type for Minecraft Alpha. It was added on the 9th of July, 2010 and was the first other "biome" than the generic one to appear in Minecraft. It was removed in the Halloween Update.
Dispensing command blocks[edit]
Prior to version 1.8.6, dispensers would have the ability to place a command block that it had when activated. This feature was removed to solve a security issue.[20][21]

Come Explore a World of Creative Fun!
Rocks? Yes, Rocks!
Ordinary river rocks and water tumbled stones make wonderful art material. Not only are rocks cheap or free in many parts of the world, but painting on something that already has a shape and dimension is like discovering a short-cut to exciting results.
Lin Wellford literally wrote the book on turning rocks into art, but rocks have been used as a painting surface since cavemen first began decorating the walls of their caves. Rocks and pebbles have frequently been used to make craft projects, but they can be used for so much more. Field stones and chunky roadside rocks can be painted to look like flowers and plants, or like little cottages.Pebbles can be butterflies or tropical fish. The more you paint, the more you will see all the possibilites.

The Problem with Frank Stitely? We Need More Frank Stitelys!
In response to "The Problem with Timesheets? Not Enough Timesheets!" More comments here.
by Greg Kyte
www.gregkyte.com / @gregkyte
Frank Stitely's CPA Trendlines article "The Problem with Timesheets? Not Enough Timesheets," a courageous response to what he refers to as "the value billing Taliban," was flawless from start to finish.
To start with, since most timesheet detractors are required to grow a beard, are pissed that women can read, and have up to three wives, comparing them to the Taliban was spot on, and was in no way incendiary or belligerent.
With insights like Frank Stitely's, we can all come closer to winning the race to the bottom.
Next, he made a great call telling everyone to stop reading his article except firm owners and future firm owners. Only firm owners can understand how to run a firm in the same way that only highly successful NFL players can ever be great NFL coaches. Take Vince Lombardi. He never played pro football, and now people are like, "Vince who?"

Four years after the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) was signed into law, there are many open questions about what the Act has achieved and what lies ahead for the U.S. financial system. This two-day conference, hosted jointly by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and the Cato Institute, explores some of the most hotly debated aspects of financial regulation and policies to improve financial markets in a post-Dodd-Frank world.

Did U hear that Nick's kicks went for over $16,000??? The money directly benefits Global Green USA. Go Nick!!! Thank you for helping our beautiful planet!
That a great idea! There are a lot of crazy people out there... but I also know there are a lot of people out there like me... broke. I could never spend $16,000 on a pair of sneakers, autographed or not. Oh wait... I don't have $16,000. LOL. *shakes head* Wish I could have participated and donated, but I can't even bring myself to spend $30 on sneakers.... yup... I have a total of 38 cents in my checking account.
Congratulations to the winner!!! And good idea Nick!!!!
(But what about the little person?)
