Hehe so many bored people.
I know I am, only reason I'm reading a drama thread about a game I don't care about changing to an engine I don't care about from an engine I don't care about.
The armchair legal debate was amusing for 10 or so pages though.

It's nice to know that my pledge could potentially go into a lawsuit. Quit being a drama queen Jason and finish your game and give the backers what you promised!

May the game be ever in your favor.
And this is why I have kept from backing a Kickstarter project no matter how good it looked or tempted I was to do so.

Nemo me impune lacessit.
This thread is more entertaining than any MMO on the market. It should also serve as a wake-up call to people to not throw money blindly at Kickstarter campaigns without first doing due diligence into who you're funding.

I just have to ask , Is any of this even worth the effort?
Even if the guy is a scam artist ( which I dont think he is ) why put all of this time and effort into posting about it? I think its fine to have an opinion and not contribute to the KS but this almost seems like a crusade against him and the company.
I personally do not think this will ever even get off the ground. An inexperienced dev team lead by an even more inexperienced guy has pretty much zero chance of making it in this market. If they manage to pull it off then good for them I say.
I guess I just dont see why its anyones duty or business to warn people away. If people want to contribute to a KS that seems shady at best then thats no one elses business.
This just seems like alot of trouble for a game & company that you really have no personal stake in. Even if you donated to KS you should have done the research and made an informed decision. Then have to live with it for good or ill.

Yet you found it compelling enough to warrant an effort on your side to make this post. It's good to hear different opinions and that is a great thing about forums. They are full of opinions mixed in with facts. No one was warned about anything, people can make up their own mind if they want to back a project on Kickstarter or not.
I do believe that people have the right to check facts if they are used to promote a project that asks them for charity. Kickstarter is just that, it's a charity site.
Would you donate to a charity before checking the facts? Would you say everyone that warns about shady charities should mind their own business?

"Kids, try imagining how far the universe extends! Keep thinking about it until you go insane."
I've got to say, I'm astounded at how far this thread has gone.
Some interesting points:
1) This is a kickstarter project, yet, Greed Monger and Jason Appleton threatens to sue MMORPG and various forum affiliates over "defamation" -- with what money? Is he using kickstarter money for a legal battle?
2) Now when you search for Jason Appleton MMO or Jason Appleton Greed Monger, these MMORPG threads come up on the first page. For someone who's threatened to keep himself out of the limelight, by fueling this fire, he's brought it closer to the forefront.
3) This is a site dedicated to MMORPG players, which is Greed Mongers prime objective, and many of us have accounts on other similar sites... overall this is a bad play for them. Whereas this "defamation" could have previously been set as conjecture had there been no response, it is now a very big reality that they are ostracizing their playerbase.
4) Many of us on this site are either in the process of creating games, have worked on games in the past, or plan to create games in the future. Some of us have funding from private companies, others are self funding and others may be part of a Kickstarter campaign. Look at Mark Jacobs and the Camelot Unchained kickstarter, or Pathfinder Online, you don't see them here attacking and threatening to sue, even after all of controversy over WAR.
5) PR starts when the game is in a workable state, not when its bouncing back and forth between engines. Its almost as if the game is back down to square one. Even non-designers can see the gross mismanagement at this stage, and its not the fault of the "game" its the fault of the lead developers. If people are blaming Jason Appleton for this, and he's making the design decisions, then - sorry - but this is to be expected. If this was an investment deal, investors would have pulled out for less, luckily this was a kickstarter campaign and as far as I'm aware, the money is gone to the "investors". All that is left until there is something concrete is animosity. This comes with the territory.
Lastly, I am quite fond of this site, and Bill, and have absolutely no respect for someone who would threaten them in any capacity, and then turn around and repost their "disappointment" of Bills decision to address the public with the issue. This is childish and a massive fault on the part of Greed Monger and all involved.

I agree with what your saying for the most part. And as for the effort of me posting thats just me killing time on a day off work.
And for the most part I would say people should mind their own business. I guess if I donated to a shady charity without doing due diligence and fact checking then thats on me.
But my main point was more along the lines of - is this worth your time personally? if it is then all good, its your time after all. Just seems like alot of effort and trouble for no return. I am not above proving a point just to prove a point, but usually there is more of a reason than what I have seen here.
Appleton has totally flubbed this up from a PR perspective and should have handled things differently to say the least. Threatening lawsuits was just a bad idea from the word go. He would have been better off just ignoring it or asking nicely for the game forums to be removed.
Either way I hope it all works out for the best for everyone involved. =)

We don't know what percentage of those that are successfully funded go on to complete their project, so you can't really say the fast majority accomplish what they say now can you?
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

I think that might be a bit much. I'm sure he was talking about funded kickstarter projects, not that everyone who's had an idea has been successful. That said, I don't know of a single game that has come out from being funded by kickstarter. It's been my impression that they are all still in development.
I think you overestimating the effort, i am one lazy sob. It took me about 10 minutes to gather all the info and make the post. It takes me about 2 minutes to reply or send a screenshot. It's hardly an effort and as you can see, i did not post in this thread until the end. I am here anyways during the day while working.

While I dont for a minute think he could win a lawsuite against you, or the website. I get the impression he may be the type of person to actually try.
At that point I would personally be like, " F**k it Dude, lets go bowling". No worth the drama either way. I think he actually likes the drama and trying to prove he is a tuff guy. Inviting people like that into your life is rarely worth any time and even less effort. I get calling him out on threats, but at a certain point it would be time to meet Donny at the bowling alley and forget this.
its not so much the time & effort now as it is the time and effort this may turn into.

This man is an absolute joke. I pointed out legitimate facts on his website and he got so worked up over it he found a third party to help threaten me with a lawsuit so I would say sorry on his billy and bolts kickstarter. Go look at it, I had to say sorry because I didnt want to deal with the bullshit lawsuit.
This man is an absolute joke of a person and I feel really sorry for all the idiots caught up in his bullshit.
I wouldnt be scared of any of his bullshit hollow threats. He realizes he cant sue people or forums or games for posts with legitimate concerns. Not only that but on the greed monger post in worms online he actually pretended to be his lawyer with the same IP and browser. Saying something along the lines of "I am a lawyer and if you disrespect jason anymore he has legal rights to sue" or somemore bullshit like this.
I really wish bad apples like this wouldnt hurt kickstarter but I guess there will always be bad apples.
Now he stays in his forum where the only people that post are people that kiss his ass entirely, If you do anything else you will get banned. Ive had multiple friends that are kickstarters get banned for putting up legitimate concerns of the game.
It was funny I had a conversation with him over skype explaining what a cloud server was (Because I was rejected as a developer for trying to actually help and educate there developers on cloud servers. I was instantly shut down) A week later there was talks in his forum about how he needs more money for cloud servers.
Absolute loose cannon, Hes uneducated, indecisive and hes a massive stoner. If you know of anyone that knows about him please show this thread to them and the wurm online thread. This man needs to be stopped, we dont want idiots to never pledge on a kickstarter again which will happen if more and more people lose money to this loose cannon.

This is the same links he sent to me while threatening me with billy bolts. Okay, so how do we tell people on his forum? This seriously has to stop. You cant have this delusional person that is WAY out of reality do this to people and get away with it. I can easily get the skype messages if you guys would like to see his threats.
When he talks about damaging business efforts. When you say the truth it is not slander or libel. I asked the worms online forum to be deleted (Since I just wanted this to end, since he promised me he would not be taking anyone elses money but he went back on that promise aswell. I have skype chat to prove it) The worms online forum refused to do it. I understand them and respect them for that. It is still up there, with him pretending to be his own lawyer while spitting out lawsuit threats.
I just cant understand how he can get away with this. There are quite alot of kickstarters that are oblivious idiots and if they knew what he has done I bet they would have instantly regretted it.
Anyone that figures it out individually and posts on his forum gets edited/banned instantly. Jason appleton actually learned something for once, that you can only lie in forums you can sensor.

Make Up For Ever: Eyeshadows #158, 99,75, 85, 303 (Reds & Pinks)
Make Up For Ever #158 Eyeshadow
Make Up For Ever Eyeshadows ($19.00 each) and Diamond Eyeshadows ($20.00) each are sold individually in single-sized compacts. What's nifty about the compacts is that they're already magnetized and there's no depotting necessary. If you need to pop one out, just take a pair of tweezers to do so (I do this to prevent any "oops!"). You can also purchase the eyeshadows in pan-form only (I believe that those are $13.00 each) and then fit them into 10-pan palettes (I believe those are $13 as well).
- #158 is a matte, medium red. It goes on smoothly, has good pigmentation, and it doesn't have a chalky texture. Because of the intensity of the red pigment, this color may stain lids temporarily. Compared with 99, this is a much subtler red. I like that it doesn't have any noticeable brown in it, so it doesn't come out brick red.
- #99 is a matte, bright apple red. It feels like velvet when swatched, and it packs a lot of color without much product. This one, like 158, may also stain lids temporarily.
- #75 is a matte, bright hot pink. This is the shade I used in yesterday's look, and it definitely gives you a nice pop of bright pink color. It, too, will stain your lids, though. I didn't wear a base beyond my lid, and anywhere I had #75 above my lid, it stained. It is pretty easy to work with and feels like a buttery matte with no chalkiness to it.
- #85 is a shimmery, soft pink. This is a pretty color, and it reminds me of MAC Pink Freeze, just not as gritty/glittery. This is smoother, and while it doesn't pack a lot of color, it is a nice all-over-lid shade to brighten up eyes.
- #303 is a shimmery, pale pastel pink. All Make Up For Ever shadows that start with a 3 (e.g. #3_ _) are Diamond Eyeshadows. According to the brand, Diamond Eyeshadows is a combinatoin of their Diamond Powders and their regular Eyeshadows. No matter what you call it, they're shimmery and iridescent. This is almost like a pink-meets-lilac color, but it runs a bit pastel and cool-toned with subtle silvery-pink shimmer.
To avoid staining: make sure to layer a base underneath wherever you're going to put a shadow that has the potential to stain. When I used #75 on my eyes, it only stained above my crease, where I laid it down directly onto skin. The staining does fade after about a day or so, though.

Emirates is planning a frequency ramp up on flights from Dubai to its newest destinations of Los Angeles and San Francisco in May, but delivery dates of Boeing 777-200LR aircraft to support the increases are uncertain.
The carrier was forced to launch service to both destinations offering three weekly flights instead of a planned five, and also pushed back launch dates due to a combination of problems with a galley supplier and the 57-day machinists strike at Boeing.
On 15 December after the touchdown of the inaugural flight from Dubai to San Francisco, carrier SVP commercial operations for the Americas Nigel Page said Emirates plans to boost flights on both routes to five weekly starting in May.
Speaking to ATI Page said Emirates could not specific delivery dates for the 777s, but noted the aircraft would be necessary for the expansion of service. Flight's ACAS database shows Emirates has six 777-200LRs in service and four on order.
Page says the Dubai-Los Angeles flights that began on 26 October are "already making money" and had average load factors of 92% last week.
The outbound flight to Dubai from San Francisco on 15 December also had a 92% load factor.
Premium bookings for the Los Angels and San Francisco flights remain strong, according to Page, who says the operating environment is different from the North Atlantic where so much capacity exists "carriers are desperate".
Emirates 777s used on those routes feature eight first class and 42 business class seats.
For 2009 Page expects Emirates to have fewer new routes and instead increase capacity in existing markets, noting that is the "sensible thing to do".

Hang tight!
Recipe by Terrilyn Singleton
"This is a wonderful recipe I learned while in college. Serve with a nice crusty bread. You can make this on the stove or in a slow cooker, whichever one fits your lifestyle. Just make sure you have a 4 quart size slow cooker. Note: to make this soup less fattening omit the cream of chicken soup and one of the cans of water."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Very good! I am happily surprized by this soup. I didn't crock-pot this but made it in a dutch oven. Browned sausage first, drained it, wiped out most of grease from the oven. Added the onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Let them cook til onions were clear. Added 3 diced yukon gold potatoes, kraut, broth. Didn't have cream of soups, but didn't miss them at all. Added a bit of oregano instead of dill, as that's what was on hand and extra garlic. Makes a lot, so we'll be freezing at least half. Thanks for the great recipe. Will be making again!!
I just love sauerkraut soup, and this was Way too tart!!

This soup is just so good! I love making homemade soups and using the crock pot! I took the advise of other cooks and added chicken and sour cream. I also used fresh potatoes and carrots.I really enjoy making unique dishes and this one is a keeper! So nice to come home to this great soup that is perfect for a cold winter in PA! I served this with dilled Havarti cheese and warm bread.
I have made this soup numerous times and it's one of my family's favorite meals. They ask for it weekly! It's especially good during the cold winter months as it is very rich and filling. I made it the first time as written, and have since made the following changes. I only gave it four stars because I think it's much better with fresh vegetables instead of canned. I used three yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cubed) five or six carrots (peeled and coined) about 1 1/2 TBS dried dill weed, a 32 oz. jar of sauerkraut with the juice, and a little extra chicken broth. Also, I leave out the garlic. With these changes it's a fantastic meal if you're a sauerkraut lover! It really reminds me of the sauerkraut soup at the Polish restaurant in my hometown.
This "Sauerkraut Soup II" is fantastic! It's a simple recipe that demands attention because it is so unusual! Everyone at my office was asking for some when they smelt it warming up in the break room.
I made a few changes….I left out the cream of chicken soup, and added instead a pound of chicken breasts. It shredded nicely in the soup and made it more of a hearty meal. I also used fresh potato's and carrots, which worked out great as well.
My Husband absolutely LOVES this soup! I make it quite often. The flavor is tart which we like. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast. I also use twice the sausage ( One pound of keilbasa and one pound of hot sausage). Fresh potatoes and carrots work perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
If you like sauerkraut, or even if you don't, then this is the recipe for you! We tend to like it a bit more on the sour side so we put some extra sauerkraut juice in and it turns out great everytime. Its quick and easy and I have made it about 10 times now. My mom is pretty picky with food and even she raves about it!
Terrific flavor! I made it in the crock pot. It is easy and delicious.

On wasted pixels: It seems odd to say "That display is amazing!" in reference to the Droid DNA but then later discuss how the pixels are wasted because you can't see the pixels or feel that the overall experience isn't dramatically enhanced. That's like saying that the Porsche 911 is fantastic to drive but the horsepower is wasted because the speed limit is 60. Clearly if your eyes are telling you that the display is super duper then the pixels are not "wasted".
Other displays with lower pixel density might be "good enough" but that doesn't mean that higher pixel density (and other display technology enhancements) are wasteful. It's all in the use case, folks!

It is a ritual of mine to flip through channels on a typical Saturday morning before I go off to work. While my adventures are less frequent these days than when I was eight years old, my curiosity is piqued as it still was. However, in my habits, I've encountered a frightening discovery that has sent a gross feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Why You Need a Fundraising Thermometer and Five Places You Can Get One for Free
Just Google "fundraising ideas" and you'll begin to understand that there are an ever-increasing number of fundraisers out there today. From traditional magazine sales and candy bars to basket raffles and office perks auctions, there are numerous fundraising ideas out there that are sure to meet your organization's unique fundraising needs. As important as it is to select the right fundraiser for your group, tracking your fundraising efforts is equally important, which is where a fundraising thermometer or online donation web page comes into play.
A fundraising thermometer is a visual representation of an organization's progress toward its fundraising campaign's goal. This graphic depiction offers benefits to all of the stakeholders in the fundraising campaign. From the organization itself, to the fundraising volunteers, to the general public, every fundraising campaign needs a fundraising thermometer.
For the charitable organization, a fundraising thermometer lets the organization know they are on track to meet their fundraising goals. Although numbers – dollars and cents and percentages – can relay the same information, for people in the organization who are more visual, a graphical representation of the organization's progress can really emphasize where the campaign is currently and how much farther volunteers need to go to meet their goal.
For those hard-working volunteers actually doing the fundraising, a fundraising thermometer can keep them motivated. As they see the thermometer fill up, they'll know their efforts are paying off. If this is tied to a reward, it can be even more motivational.
Lastly, for the general public, a publicly displayed fundraising thermometer, either online or in the real world, serves two purposes: (1) Even if a member of the general public has not supported your cause in the past, seeing a visual representation of your goals can encourage him or her to contribute. (2) For past supporters of your charity, it can alert them to the new campaign, as well as encourage those who have already donated to donate a little more, especially as you near the top of your thermometer.
There are several online fundraising thermometers available for free. Below are five sites to choose from:
- GoFundMe (this also allows people to donate right through your site)
- EntropyFarm.org
- Fundraising Ideas Center
- Fundraiser Insight
- School-Fundraisers.com

Meghan McCain on Canceling Juniata College Speech to Go to Las Vegas
Meghan McCain Learns Not Everything Stays in Vegas
Last September, my boyfriend broke up with me over a five-line email. I had a speaking engagement at Juniata College, but that would have to wait. I canceled the speech and fled to Vegas for a girls' weekend.
So she played hooky? Haven't we all? It's probably a bigger deal to cancel a speech than call in sick for work, but canceling is not a crime. I've gone to work after breakups when I definitely should not have, so if it was canceling versus crying on stage, then she did what she had to do.
However, if you are in the public eye in any way, and your official reason for canceling is "several unforeseen professional responsibilities," don't visit a city synonymous with partying and certainly don't post about it on Twitter.
Do you sympathize, or should she have known better?

Below is the poem entitled she shall come which was written by poet
Amah. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Canny Amah
she would have been
here with her sons
by her side -
but the way of the world
she had gone
nobly gone
to the other side of the hill
look at that ignoble mound
they erected
for her
our poor mother
richer than the richest man
in the world today -
i wish i had been like her
an angel in manners
she left a star
on the azure of our souls
"she would come
sooner or later" they say
let mother come
to give brightness
to my collapsing house -
mother, come
the house awaits your return

Large scale Ordnance Survey mapping was begun in the mid-19th century and the way that it is organised has changed enormously over the years.
Until the Second World War, individual counties were surveyed separately. Each county had its own sheet numbering and revision and updating was done by county. After the War this changed and sheet numbering was based on the National Grid system, one system covering the whole of Great Britain. Because of this change, the County Series and National Grid Series maps have to be referred to, and ordered, quite separately. This page deals with the three largest scales of Ordnance Survey mapping available: the 1:10000, 1:2500 and 1:1250 scales as well as the OS Town Plans at 1:500 scale.
1. Modern large scale maps: National Grid Series (Post-World War II)
The National Grid mapping covers the whole of mainland Britain but not Northern Ireland or the Irish Republic. It was begun after World War II, and is still going on today.
1.1 The different scales
The 1:10 000 (c. 6 inches to I mile) scale covers the whole of Great Britain and is the largest scale National Grid series to cover mountain and moorland areas and to show contours. Some of the earlier editions are the imperial scale of 1:10,560 (exactly 6 inches to 1 mile). There are sometimes more frequent editions of the 1:10 000 scale than of the larger scales.
The 1:2500 (c. 25 inches to one mile) scale does not cover remote mountain and moorland areas. The 1:1250 scale covers only urban areas. If an area is covered at 1:1250 (c.50 inches to 1 mile) scale no current 1:2500 will be available as the 1:2500 was superseded by the 1:1250 in urban areas, usually in the 1970s. Before then both scales could cover the same area. It is therefore essential to order both scales in 1:1250 areas to make sure of obtaining all editions. There are usually more frequent and recent editions for urban areas where more changes have occurred.
For samples of the various scales please see the display on the wall in the catalogue area of the Maps Reading Room. It should be remembered that the largest scale maps cover the smallest area, so the more detail you have, the more sheets you will need.
1.2 Finding the right sheet
To order a National Grid sheet, you need to have an OS National Grid reference. There are various ways to find this. If you have a placename or postcode go to Get-a-Map on the OS web site to obtain one.
If you don't have a precise place name or are looking at a wider area rather than a specific point, you will probably find it easier to use a graphic index, which shows the area covered by each sheet. There are graphic indexes for the 1:2500 scale maps in the drawers on the left hand side of the catalogue area for all of Great Britain; in addition there are indexes, arranged by county, for England and Wales which show both the National Grid and the sheetlines for the older County Series maps
1.3 Editions
Owing to the large number of sheets and variety of edition dates there is no list of editions available; all available editions of whichever sheet you order will be delivered. There will generally be more frequent editions for urban than for rural areas.
1.4 Ordering
Most editions of the 1:2500 and 1:1250 scale maps, and all editions of the 1:10 000 scale, are on paper sheets and are stored in the basement. They have to be ordered using the ABRS. Some of the most recent 1:2500 and 1:1250 scale maps are on microfilm/fiche and are on open access. The most recent digital maps can be accessed from the OS data terminal.
1.5 Microform
Recent editions of the 1:2500 and 1:1250 sheets are usually held on microfilm aperture cards. These are on open access in the Maps Reading Room, in the white cabinets next to the Reference Enquiry Desk, filed in order of the National Grid letter prefix then number. They can be consulted on most of the microfiche readers; the original scale can be obtained on reader-printers no.10 or no.14.
1.6 OS Digital data
The Ordnance Survey phased out production of 1:2500 paper mapping (although prints from the digital mapping can still be provided) in the early to mid 1990s and the 1:10000 followed suit. Since 1997 the library has received all the large scale mapping in a digital format of which a "snapshot" is received each year. You can view this data easily in the maps reading room on a special terminal, and make print-outs subject to the terms and conditions imposed by OS.To find your area you need either an OS national grid reference or a place name. The grid reference can either be found from the OS 1:50,000 gazetteer or from the relevant index. Scales available are 1: 10,000 for moorland, 1:2500 for towns and semi rural areas and 1:1250 for cities. For further information see the user manual, or ask a member of staff.
1.7 Photocopies of National Grid Series sheets
Up to 4 copies of one A4 extract from any sheet can be supplied. If a larger portion is required written permission must be obtained from the OS, unless it is for a court case. If full-sized copies are required please see the brochure Reproductions Copy Services on top of the microfiche cabinets. When the maps are to be used for a court case a written statement should accompany the completed application form. For more details see the OS leaflet Copying of maps held in public libraries, or contact Ordnance Survey Copyright and Legal Affairs on 02380 792913.
2. The County Series (Mid 19th century to World War II)
The County Series covers the whole of the British Isles. For samples please see Harley, J.B. Ordnance Survey maps: a descriptive manual (1975). Maps Ref.G.2b.(13.)
2.1. The different scales
The 1:2500 scale (c.25'' to one mile) plans were the largest scale plans published by the OS apart from town plans (OSTs: see below) and cover the whole of the British Isles except for mountain and moorland areas. The 1:10 560 (6'' to one mile) scale is the largest to cover the whole of the British Isles and to show contours.
2.2. Finding the right sheet
2.2. (i) England and Wales
Consult the graphic indexes in the grey metal drawers to the left of the catalogue area of the Maps Reading Room, or older indexes at Maps Ref. Z.5a (1) and (2). The indexes show County Series sheetlines in red, with the National Grid lines underneath in grey. If a sheet is near a county boundary it could be bound in a volume of either county, so when ordering it is advisable to ask for sheets from both counties.
2.2 (ii) London
All the large scale London town plans are on the reference shelves in large bound volumes and microfilm. The indexes are in the grey metal drawers to the left in the catalogue area. The largest scale London plans (25 inches and 5 feet to a mile) have a rather complicated sheet numbering system that changes between editions. Click here for a guide to the correct indexes for each edition. 5 foot sheet numbers can also be derived from London County Council Names of streets and places (1955) at Maps Ref. (Desk), by looking up a street name.
2.2 (iii) Scotland
Use the index at Maps Ref.Z.5a.(9.), in the catalogue area of the Maps Reading Room. When ordering first editions the parish name must be quoted for some counties. (see list of editions at Reference Enquiry Desk). For the parish name see the indexes in the grey metal drawers in the catalogue area of the Maps Reading Room.
2.2. (iv) Ireland
Use the index at Maps Ref.Z.5a.(13.). When ordering First Editions for Dublin County the parish name must be quoted. For the parish name see the card index in the Reading Room on top of the microfiche cabinets.
2.3 Editions
2.3 (i) England, Wales and Scotland
The County Editions list refers specifically to the 1:2500 scale for England and Wales, but with a few exceptions the 1:10,560 editions were published around the same time as the 1:2500. The latest editions called Revised or 'Further Revised' usually have incomplete coverage as many of the sheets, especially for rural areas, were not published for financial reasons. If the sheet you want is not available at the 1:2500 scale, the area may be covered on the 1:10,560 series and vice versa. The London Editions list contains the most popular editions for london.
For England and Wales only, the OS editions file at the enquiry desk contains a more detailed listing of which sheets were covered by each revision.
2.3 (ii) Ireland
There is a list of editions of the 1:2500 scale maps in the Public Service Guide (blue binders behind the Reference Enquiry Desk) under Ireland. In addition, the CD-ROM catalogue contains entries for each individual county survey at this scale and at 1:10,560.
2.4 Ordering
2.4 (i) The 6" to 1 mile maps
There is no need to order the 6 inch (1:10,560) scale maps for England and Wales; not only are they all on microform but the volumes containing the original sheets are on open access on the low shelves around the sides of the Reading Room. They are shelved in alphabetical order by county name with sheet indexes at the front of each first edition volume. Sheets for Scotland and Ireland are stored in volumes in the basement and must be ordered.
2.4 (ii) The 25" to 1 mile maps
The County Editions list of 25" editions for England and Wales describes our holdings on microfiche (yellow = microfiche). The original 25 inch maps are all stored in the basement and have to be ordered up. The system will not allow you to order first edition 25 inch for England and Wales as these sheets are all available on fiche; if you need to see an original (for instance, to see the colours) you must fill in a paper application slip which must be signed by the Reading Room Curator.
The parish name must be quoted for some first editions.The County Editions list includes a "Parish" column which will tell you whether you need to order by parish name. There is a card index on top of the microfiche cabinets in the Reading Room which will tell you the parish name(s) corresponding to each sheet number for the appropriate counties. None of the sheets for Scotland or Ireland have been put on microfiche or microfilm.
2.5 Obtaining copies
Instant A4 printouts can be obtained from the reader-printers for any item which is on microfilm or fiche. Copies cost £1.50 each and a flexicard must be purchased from the Reference Enquiry Desk. If full sheets are required please see the brochure Reprographic Standard Services on top of the microfilm cabinets.
3. Ordnance Survey Town Plans (OSTs)
These were published for larger towns and cities at scales of 1:500, (c.10' to 1 mile), 1:528 (exactly 10' to 1 mile) and 1:1056 (5' to 1 mile) from about 1850 onwards. They were the largest scale plans for towns and cities published by the Ordnance Survey. Apart from important exceptions such as London, most were not published after 1900, but there was often more than one edition.
3.1 Finding the right sheet
3.1 (i) London
Sheet indexes for all editions of the 5' are in the drawer with the other London indexes.
3.1 (ii) Other town plans
For most towns all the sheets are contained in one volume. For major cities there are sheet indexes in the grey metal drawers in the catalogue area, just underneath the County Series indexes.
3.2 Editions
There is an inventory of all OSTs in the Public Service Guide Ordnance Survey section (blue binders) under the heading Town plans.
3.3 Ordering
All OSTs for towns throughout the British Isles are included in the Map Library's CD-ROM catalogue. This will give you the shelfmark ("Maps O.S.T." followed by a number) which you need to order the plan; it will also tell you if there is more than one edition.
3.4 Microform
The first edition London 1:2500 is on microfiche in the grey metal cabinets. All other editions of the 1:2500 and 5' (1:1056) London are on microfilm.
3.5 Obtaining copies
A4 extracts can be taken from the London microfiche and film. If full-sized copies are required please see the brochure Reproductions Copy Services on top of the microfiche cabinets.

This book is about two women, Émilie du Châtelet (1706–1749) and Mary Somerville (1780–1872), who published translations and popularizations of mathematical and scientific works.
Du Châtelet was born into the minor aristocracy. As a child, she displayed interest and mathematics and science, encouraged by her father and resisted by her mother. She was married to the Marquis du Châtelet in 1725 and had three children with him. After the last was born in 1733, she took up scientific studies again, being tutored at one time or another by Pierre-Louis Maupertius (who measured a degree of latitude in Lapland showing, as Newton had predicted, that the earth was an oblate sphere; he also formulated the principle of least action), Alexis Clairault (who went with Maupertius to Lapland and later computed the orbit of Halley's comet), and Samuel König (who was a student of Johann Bernoulli). In that day, as in this, it helped to have connections, and money.
She spent several years with Voltaire, helping him with his book on Newton, and she translated Newton's Principia into French, though the translation was not published until ten years after her death. She also wrote a book of popular physics, and several other works.
She was far from being a nerd. She had an energetic sex life (in what I suppose was the fashion of the time and place, her husband did not mind), she gambled, and, as Lynn Osen says in Women in Mathematics, "she lived a life at a full tilt like a spirited healthy child". She died from complications following childbirth. The baby, not her husband's, lived only a year.
Somerville, as many women of the time (those who received any education, that is) was educated mostly at home, by tutors and by self-study. Her marriage in 1804 lasted only three years, her husband dying prematurely. After his death she had the time and means to study essentially full-time. Her second husband, William Somerville, whom she married in 1812, supported her in her interests. Her most important work was The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831), a translation, expansion, and simplification of Laplace's Mécanique Céleste, a very difficult work. Nathaniel Bowditch, another translator of Laplace, said that whenever he read "Thus it plainly appears" in the book he was sure "that hours and perhaps days of hard study will allow me to discover how it plainly appears." Her book was a great success and was used as a text for decades. She wrote other books, though none in mathematics, that were also successful. She received many honors, tangible (a government pension of £300 a year in 1835, equivalent to around $60,000 today) and intangible.
Here is an excerpt, written in 1870 when she was ninety years old, from her fascinating memoir, Personal Recollections, that illustrates her character:
I wrote to Mr. Spottiswoode, asking his advice as to the books that would be of use, and he sent me Serret's "Cours d'Algèbre Supérieure," Salmon's "Higher Algebra," and Tait on "Quaternions;" so now I got exactly what I wanted, and I am very busy for a few hours every morning; delighted to have an occupation so entirely to my mind. I thank God that my intellect is still unimpaired. I am grateful to Professor Peirce for giving me an opportunity of exercising it so agreeably. During the rest of the day I have recourse to Shakespeare, Dante, and more modern light reading, besides the newspapers, which always interested me much. I have resumed my habit of working, and can count the threads of a fine canvas without spectacles. I receive every one who comes to see me, and often have the pleasure of a visit from old friends very unexpectedly. In the evening I read a novel, but my tragic days are over; I prefer a cheerful conversational novel to the sentimental ones. I have recently been reading Walter Scott's novels again, and enjoyed the broad Scotch in them. I play a few games at Bézique with one of my daughters, for honour and glory, and so our evenings pass pleasantly enough.
Robyn Arianrhod gives details of the life and works of du Châtelet and Somerville and also provides a good deal of the history of physics in their times. We do not appreciate, if we think of it at all, how difficult it is for new ideas to be accepted, and how long it takes. We say, "Of course gravity varies as the inverse square of distance, everyone knows that." However, even well after Newton not everyone knew that. There's another term needed, with a 1/r4 in it, some people said. They quieted down eventually, but time and effort was needed to show them the error of their ways. The author gives several such examples, which are good to have.
The book contains hardly any mathematics — the author finds it necessary to explain that v2 means v × v — though there is a 36-page appendix that contains equations and explanations for anyone who can recall elementary calculus. There are 43 pages of notes, sources, and bibliography, so this is a book of respectable scholarship.
The writing, though, is not dry and scholastic. The author sometimes goes a bit too far in the other direction for my taste — too many things are "cutting-edge". She refers to her subjects as "Émilie" and "Mary", a familiarity that they might not have permitted in the flesh.
The index is quite good. The indexer knew, as the author and her editors didn't, that Jean le Rond's name is "d'Alembert" and not "D'Alembert".
The book will be of most interest, I think, to those interested in the place of women in mathematics and science, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. But all readers will find new things in it and have their worlds correspondingly enlarged.
After teaching mathematics for a living in each of six different decades, Woody Dudley hung up his blackboard eraser for good in 2004. He now lives and reads books in Florida.

Q: Does Vaulting Encrypted Data to Encrypted Tape Pools Create a double-encrypted backup?
NetBackup version 6.5.6 on Solaris 10
A policy writes to disk pool which gets staged to an encrypted tape pool (ENCR_onsite). A vault policy then comes along and vaults the data from ENCR_onsite to a pool called ENCR_offsite.
a) Does the data on ENCR_onsite now vaulted to ENCR_offsite now become double-encrypted when it goes to ENCR_offsite?
b) Does the data on ENCR_onsite get decrypted as it vaulted to ENCR_offsite, where it is re-encrypted with the keys for ENCR_offsite?
If a) happens, I would assume NetBackup cannot understand how to double-un-encrypt the data, correct?
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
A: No. Data read off a encrypted tape will be decrypted before send off to the host.
B: Yes
Yes - you are correct. Take a look at T/N below. If a double encryption was possible Netbackup wold need to store multiple Key Tags for a single backup image. It does not - only one key tag - and so not possible to use double encryption with NBU KMS
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

Editorial: Three cheers
Arrowmont's goal reached
Thursday afternoon it was official — Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg had reached its $8 million fundraising goal for the purchase of its 13-acre campus, ending years of speculation about the school's future in the mountain city.
"We are grateful to those who have made it clear that they believe in Arrowmont's future as much as they value its rich history," Bill May, the school's executive director, said. "Arrowmont plays a role in the cultural life of our community and contributes to craft education on a national level."
The group's fundraising success is certainly a positive development. Arrowmont has been a vital part of the community for years, and now, with this deal in place to purchase the land from the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women, Sevier County can breathe a collective sigh of relief. The school should continue to provide Gatlinburg and county residents with a place to experience world-class art in a personal setting. For years the school has exposed area students to the arts, cultivating creativity through workshops field trips as part of the ArtReach program. Now, all of that should continue for the foreseeable future.
A community of active seniors
One thing's for certain in Sevier County.
If you're an active senior, there's plenty to do.
Whether its the dozens of activities slated at the Fort Sanders Sevier Senior Center, including their upcoming Senior Expo on April 25, the regular series of senior-focused events scheduled at the Sevier County Public Library System or independent senior clubs, there's always something going on — usually at no charge — for our area's experienced adults.
Gatlinburg's Anna Porter Public Library has gotten into the act of late, running a Wednesday program — Wednesdays with Betty — which seeks to educate older adults on library programs and features as well as providing other areas of instruction.
Sometimes that could be art instruction, sometimes computers or sometimes, like this coming Wednesday's financial literacy workshop, it could be a more weighty topic.
As the Baby Boomer generation grows older and more retire to the Smoky Mountains, the more events and activism we have like these the better.
Big thumbs up to Youth of the Year
Its not every day a local student is honored with a statewide award, but just such an event happened Wednesday in Nashville at the annual Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year Celebration at the Sheraton Nashville Downtown.
Seymour Boys & Girls Club member Ashley Heatherly, a senior at Seymour High School, came away with the state Youth of the Year title.
"It feels absolutely amazing to be able to represent my club," Heatherly said immediately after her win. "This is one of those moments that I'll never forget."
The club won't soon forget you either, Ashley. "She's the best young adult I've ever known," Eric Harper, who currently serves as branch manager of the Sevierville club, but once ran the Seymour facility, said. "She's always been very outgoing and gives back. She's worked extremely hard for this, and I couldn't be prouder of her ... she is a tremendous young lady with a wealth of potential. She will be able to accomplish anything she puts her mind to."

Marshall, WVU bill moving to House for first reading
CHARLESTON -- Two high-profile higher education bills met different fates Wednesday.
Senate Bill 444, which gives Marshall and West Virginia universities more control over capital improvements and investment, was approved by the House Finance Committee and will be up for first reading in the floor session Thursday.
However, Senate Bill 326, which would have created a performance-based funding system for higher education, never made it on to the House Finance Committee's agenda after passing the Senate last week.
Delegate Doug Reynolds, D-Cabell, who serves as vice chairman on the committee, said there were just too many questions about the bill, specifically about the benchmarking system by which institutions would have been graded on.
"The biggest concern was what happens (when) you get further along," he said. "It's real easy in years one and two with benchmarks, but what happens long term?"
He said some of the stakeholders were concerned with the funding model, which would have tied a portion of the state appropriations to the benchmarks.
The benchmarks would have included: Student success as represented by certificate or degree completion; student progression and persistence towards certificate or degree completion; affordability and productivity represented by on-time certificate or degree completion; institution differentiation as represented by a mission focus on research, job placement, workforce training, etc.; educating priority populations of adult and low-income students; and increasing certificates or degrees in high need fields.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Bob Plymale, D-Wayne, was hashed out during several months in 2012 on an interim committee that also included House Education Chairwoman Mary Poling.
Marshall President Stephen Kopp said last month that he supports a performance-based funding model, but his concerns lined up with what Reynolds talked about Wednesday.
Kopp said those weights and benchmarks need to be clearly defined and must be reasonable, because Kopp said at some point they could become cost-prohibitive. He also said he would like to see any performance-based funding bill address quality measures and evidence of progress.
The bill's goal was to help meet a goal of 20,000 additional degrees or certificates by 2018.
The other concern was how the funding pool was to created. The language in the bill stated that starting in the 2014-2015 fiscal year, 5 percent of the institution's appropriations would be reallocated among all the institutions in West Virginia based on performance among the objectives. Each subsequent year, that figure would increase by 5 percent until 25 percent of the appropriation would be subject to meeting performance goals.
Kopp said he had hoped the state would set aside additional funds, as some other states have, that would be like bonuses for meeting the outcomes. The current language, he said, means having to build a budget without that 5 percent because there's no guarantee, however hard the institution works, that it will reach the benchmarks.
Plymale said he understands the political process and thinks the bill can be further researched and discussed in coming years. But he did say that it was a pilot project that would have included another level of legislative approval next year once the baseline data was looked at in the coming year.
"The finances of the state right now cause you to pause," he said of why some bills have stalled this session. "It's part of the process. Good policy changes don't happen overnight."
Senate Bill 444 received some major amendments in House Education on Tuesday and Finance on Wednesday.
The original version of the bill from the Senate gave more authority to Marshall and WVU in terms of investment power and also removed oversight from the Higher Education Policy Commission in terms of presidential compensation and capital improvement projects.
The House Education amendment took out the presidential compensation language and put in a $30 million cap for projects before seeking HEPC approval, up from $15 million that approved by lawmakers three years ago.
The finance committee amended that cap to $50 million before passing it on to the floor for first reading on Thursday. The language on investment power went unchanged -- Marshall would go from $30 million to $60 million and WVU from $40 million to $70 million. And that's the piece that Plymale said is most important.
"I introduced the bill with that provision," he said, added that he has no issues with the House Education Committee's amendment.
Marshall's chief financial officer Mary Ellen said the $30 million invested through the Marshall University Foundation during the second half of 2012 produced $1.7 million in earnings.
Comparatively, she said the state's $85 million in investments produced only $70,000. Heuton said the difference is the level of risk of the investments, along with having a more diversified portfolio.
If the House approves the bill, which would be on third reading Saturday -- the last day of the session -- the Senate would then also have to approve the changes. If the Senate does not accept the amended bill, it would likely go to a conference committee Saturday night to come to some compromise.
