Balance = Equally effective, but different, ways of reaching a goal or overcoming an obstacle.
First of all...
On the printed Powercard itself, under the -
"Your stats using Bastard Sword" there is no text. I am assuming because of the placement that there was simply no room to print the same text as it did with every other Weapon key word power.
(Example: Under other weapon keyword powers, I have the line that reads:
+7 attack bonus, 1d10+5 damage or something similiar)
If this is the case (being a space issue), perhaps have the text auto-scale if it seems to be running out of room on the card. No big deal for me to write in the damage (it is just 1[W] +INT mod), but an issue nonetheless.

After playing with the Character Sheet option "Hide Personalized Power Card Info" I noticed the same bug on my fighter's "Tide of Iron" power.
Other powers (like Passing Attack) seem to scale if I add/remove that data - so it seems to be a bug with the Tide of Iron power, and not just space being skipped because of a lack of scaling.
What power(s) do you see the error on?
The only one I noticed it on thus far is Lightning Clash. Hrm. You said you can add/remove data from the powercards? How? With the "Hide Personalized Power Card Info" setting?
Yup. On the Character Sheet go to the OPTIONS menu - the last item in the list is "Hide (or Show) Personalized Power Card Info".
Ceterum censeo capsum rubeum esse delendam
The viewer/printing of the character sheet cuts off the last few lines on the first sheet, regardless of portrait/landscape. I can unlock the items, move some things around, and get the lines to display. However, the defaults probably should show every line without the need to do this.
In my viewer, the Portrait view ends at the Religion line in Skills. In Landscape view, it makes it to showing most of Thievery, but the word "Thievery" can't be seen (so, about the last 1/3 of the line is gone) plus anything below that. It prints as seen (without these lines).
On the power cards page, the words "ACTION" and "RANGE" have the bottom few pixels of cut off on the line. Looks like they are set to bottom of square and need to be reset to Centered.
Mine does the same thing, I move things around a bit and I can get all the skills to show up. I'm using Vista SP1.
I found that each page is printed off as a separate job, which is irritating when printing to PDF (it /could/ just be my print software, but that doesn't seem as likely).
I have seen some sheets floating around that have the skills correctly listed, but mine are cut off as well at religion. How are people getting around this?
I have a similar issue printing to a duplex printer, so I don't think it's your drivers. When I print on 'duplex' each page still comes out on a separate sheet; not a major glitch, but annoying.
OS Vista Home Premium
When Viewing character sheet in either landscape or portrait mode the bottom lines of the sheet are cut off. viewing in XP seems to be okay.
When printing to A4 the right hand side margin isnt large enough - it cuts off.
For those of you with kids please check out the D&D Parents Group. http://community.wizards.com/dndparents
Is anyone else having margin-related printing issues? I feel like this application is so very, very close to being awesome that these problems seem minor.
I am not having margin issues.
Would be cool to have a page setup / paper size / margins dialog.

OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player. 3E challenged the character, not the player. Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM. That's why I love 4E.

"People treat their lack of imagination as if it's the measure of what's silly. Which is silly." - Noon
"Challenge" is overrated. "Immersion" is usually just a more pretentious way of saying "having fun playing D&D."

I'm working with C# and I start being bored writing optimization algorithm. Do you know of any free library containing this sort of algorithms. In particular I'm cutrently working with Semidefit program.
I haven't had the time to try them personally, but if I were you I'd try The Solver Foundation or maybe you can find something useful within these libraries.
What I did was to compile a MATLAB algorithm and used the produced DLL.
UPDATE: I read yesterday in the Wilmott Magazine that the NAG Library is also available for .Net now. Again, I haven't used it and I don't know if you're looking for something open-source, but apparently this one is good.
You can use https://projects.coin-or.org/Clp
Other options:
They all solve pure linear, integer and mixed problems
You can also have a look at ALGLIB or DotNumerics.
It would help though if you clarified what kind of optimization problem you have or what kind of algorithm you look for. And if by free you mean GPL or something more like MIT?
The GNU Scientific Library or GSL contains a few different varieties of optimizer. They work pretty well and have a relatively good interface. Their derivative-aware routines are a bit lacking in bounded optimization features compared to NAG, though.

|I climbed this peak with Matthew Holliman after bailing on a nearby technical climb. I chose the class 4 friction over the class 3 stairs on the ascent, and I was wishing that I downclimbed it too as the class 3 downclimb had me quite nervous!

|After climbing Cosmic Wall, I felt an urge for more scrambling. So I set off for the Regular Route of Castle Dome. Since I had only a faint idea of where the route goes, it seemed like a great (if short) adventure. Not having the route beta turned out to be good. Instead of a sandy Class 3 gully, I went straight up a 5.4-5.6 crack. Doing it in trailrunners and ropeless gave a necessary adrenalin boost to the system. As I topped out above that crack, I discovered the regular route. Hence, I was spared from a sketchy downclimb :). Surprisingly good climbing!

|I climbed to the base of the dome several times as a child on family hikes and made it to the summit a couple of times in my late teens. It was great to be back after a decade away and to bring my buddy Morgan along on his first time up. He encouraged me to make sure we made it all the way to the top. This was my first experience of being early enough in the Spring to hike through about a half mile section of snow on the way to the base of the dome.

|Oh, those were the days. Back in high school, climbing everything in sight without a care or an inch of rope. Up on Castle Dome I learned what exposure truly meant. It never fails to blow the minds of car mates on trips down I-5..."you've been on top of THAT?!" Lots of fun.

|Hiked to the base of Castle Dome. Saw no one else on the trail all day. There was a fair amount of snow on the last bit of the trail, and much was melting, so the granite was pretty wet, and care had to be taken coming down. My first visit to this park, but certainly not my last!

|This is an awesome scramble with some thrilling exposure and incredible views. I also spent a while playing around on the slabs next to the "stairs"--fun face climbing.
Also tagged it on Feb 11, 2006 as a consolation prize after bailing off Six Toe Rock. Even less than a year later, it seemed much less thrilling than I remembered from that first visit. Funny how time and experience changes perceptions.

|This was harder than I thought. Some of the moves on top are very exposed, which proved rather "exciting"
solo. I was racing weather at about 2:30 pm when I summited. Unfortunately Shasta was completly hidden by clouds. It was a fun day hike but my feet were killing me at the end of the day. I suspect this climb will be much easier after I lose about 40 lbs :-)
Never found a summit register, but I was in a hurry to get off the top.

|I was only 6 years old, and as of that time, was the youngest person to reach the summit of Castle Dome. My step-father was an accomplished Mt. climber and took me on the awesome climb. I even led the 'last pitch to the summit'.
I remember signing the 'guestbook' at the summit, which consisted of a small plastic box with papers in it with the names and ages of people who'd reached the summit.
The hike back to our campsite was very hard, as I was so tired... but SO VERY PROUD.
I wonder if I am still the youngest person to climb Castle Dome, my beloved rock.

Very quiet and beautiful place up here, the only distraction being Interstate 5 about 2,500' below which is barely audible.
The dome itself was fairly wet and icy and we didn't have any technical gear or desire to climb it to the very top.

How Do Dogs Get Ear Infections? Canine ear infections are most often due to bacteria or yeast. Ear mites, growing hair, trapped water, a tumor or foreign body in the ear canal can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria or yeast. Infections may also develop when allergies, hypothyroidism or an excessive amount of ear wax are present.
Frequent bathing, swimming and incorrect cleaning methods can also lead to infections. Because a dog's ear canals plunge downward and then horizontally from the ear opening, it is difficult for caught debris or water to be released as it must work its way upward to escape; this makes dogs especially susceptible to ear infections.
How Can I Tell if My Dog Has an Ear Infection?
The following symptoms may indicate that your dog needs to have his ears checked by a veterinarian:
- Ear scratching
- Brown, yellow or bloody discharge
- Odor in the ear
- Redness
- Swelling
- Crusted or scabby skin on the near ear flap
- Hair loss around the ear
- Wiping the ear area on the floor or furniture
- Head shaking or head tilt
- Loss of balance
- Unusual eye movements
- Walking in circles
- Hearing loss
Which Dogs Are Prone to Ear Infections?
Dogs who are prone to allergies or have floppy ears can be especially vulnerable. These include cocker spaniels, golden retrievers and poodles. Dogs who tend to grow hair in the inner ear canal, such as schnauzers, are also susceptible to ear infections.
How Are Ear Infections Diagnosed?
A veterinarian can usually diagnose an ear infection by examining the ear canal and ear drum with a magnifying ear cone similar to devices used on people. This may require sedation or full anesthesia. A sample of ear discharge may be examined to look for bacteria, yeast and parasites. A vet may also suggest bloodwork and allergy tests to determine the root causes.
It's important not to self-diagnose ear problems, as improperly treated infections may lead to chronic pain or deafness in dogs. Please always allow your vet to determine the cause of your dog's symptoms.
How Are Ear Infections Treated?
Many ear infections can be treated with a professional cleaning followed by regular cleaning and medication given at home. Your veterinarian may prescribe topical and/or oral medicine. For severe or chronic cases, anesthesia and ear flushing—or even surgery—may be necessary.
How Can Ear Infections Be Prevented?
- Check your dog's ears regularly for discharge, odor, swelling and other symptoms of infection.
- If his ear canal appears dirty, clean with a cotton ball dampened with a solution suggested by your vet—but don't clean so often or deeply that you cause irritation.
- After baths and swimming, be sure to dry your dog's ears as thoroughly and carefully as you can.
- If your dog is prone to infections, ask your vet if canine ear-drying solution would be beneficial.
- If your dog grows hair in or around the opening of his ear canals, periodically tweeze it away (if your dog tolerates it) or request that your groomer do so.
- Inner-ear skin is delicate, so ask your vet to demonstrate the proper method for maintaining your dog's ear health.
When Is It Time to See the Vet?
If your dog is showing any of the symptoms described above, see the vet as soon as possible. Please also bear in mind that even though dogs in pain don't always show it with outward signs, a sudden increase in aggression can be an indicator of physical pain. Such behavioral changes should also prompt a veterinary exam.

By Eric MainordPrice/Heber
The fact that protecting Utah's rural economy is bringing attention to myself, apparently to the displeasure of Ms. Houskeeper, Mr. Miller and Ms. Tanner proves the point that those of us who don't rely on government grants, philanthropic donations, or blood and sweat from taxpayers for our existence, also need a voice. Perhaps we have finally found one.
Those of us who produce things for consumption, from anyone of 300 million fellow Americans actually like the "go to (guys) and gal (s)" terminology. In our world "the go to guys and gals" are those we are happy to rely on for their performance and reliability.
Despite Ms. Houskeeper's contentions regarding my so called "criminality," "outlandishness" and "self absorption", I remain committed to the values of entrepreneurship, responsibility for my employees, and multiple use on public lands.
I gotta hand to it Ms. Houskeeper; her personal attacks on me and my motives suggest that's what I've been doing regarding questions I have about the Nine Mile Coalition, who, apparently within minutes of signing an accord for providing more resources and protections for the cultural artifacts in the canyon, went bleating to their "international" echo chamber of environmentalists and media that the agreements, signed by some half dozen other entities, was a failure.
My questions have never assailed those involved, only their apparent inability to consider what shutting down the canyon (their obvious goal) would have on our community.
If multiple use is truly acceptable to you and your groups, I again challenge you to publicly acknowledge this so that the God given resource, which is Nine Mile Canyon, with all of its aspects can be enjoyed and utilized.
The practices of industry in the canyon should be embraced for their environmentally friendly policies. Let's be realistic; with the current state of things in the world, with energy shortages being such a huge problem, and only growing by the minute, the natural gas (the cleanest known form of viable energy) in the area, will be developed. Make no mistake about it.
That being said, let me ask the coalition a question. Who would you rather have developing the area? A company like Bill Barrett Corporation who has a proven track record with their five star environmental policy, or take a risk with someone who just wants the gas as economically as possible?
If protecting the rock art, with true multiple use as the objective, is truly the goal, what better partner than BBC? What better opportunity to preserve and protect the rock art for generations, not just while the current coalition members are here and certainly beyond what Mother Nature would have.
As badly as you want industry out, others want it in. I personally vow to stay in this fight as long as it takes. It seems to me like a good place to generate a viable and realistic solution to accomplish the goal of protecting the rock art and developing the natural resources. Remember, you may not always have the luxury of such an accommodating administration in Washington D.C.

POTSDAM - The Potsdam Brass Quintet will present a spring concert featuring a seminal composition by Crane School of Music Professor Emeritus Arthur Frackenpohl among other works at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music.
The concert will feature the brass quintets of Viktor Ewald, Malcolm Arnold and Arthur Frackenpohl — three of the most groundbreaking and influential compositions in the brass repertoire.
The Ewald quintet, written in the 1880s, is generally considered to be the first significant work ever composed for brass quintet.
The Arnold quintet, written in 1961 for the New York Brass Quintet, is arguably the most popular brass quintet in the repertoire today.
Frackenpohls Brass Quintet No. 1 is considered by many to be the seminal work that propelled the Potsdam composer to national and international prominence as a composer of serious artistic merit.
In addition to the three major works, shorter selections by John Cheetham, Samuel Scheidt and Libby Larsen will be featured.
The Potsdam Brass Quintet consists of John Ellis and James Madeja on trumpet, Kelly Drifmeyer on horn, Mark Hartman on trombone and Charles Guy on tuba.
This event is free, and the public is invited to attend.
The Potsdam Brass Quintet, the brass quintet-in-residence at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music, has performed in concert throughout much of the United States and Canada, including Lincoln Center in New York City and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The ensemble has been featured at the International Trombone Festival, the International Horn Society Workshop, the College Music Society Conference, the Skyline Brass Music Festival, the MENC National Conference, the Texas Music Educators Association Convention, the New York State School Music Association Conference and the New England Brass Convention.
The Potsdam Brass Quintet has recorded four albums on the Kendor and Mark Recording labels; a fifth album is currently in production.

The TJB 2013 NFL Draft Underclassmen Tracker v1.0
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
Normally, I don't get into draft mode until around the Senior Bowl, but this year is not like most years. The season isn't even dead yet and I'm already throwing dirt over the Jets 2012 season's face.
Just let the dirt shower over you.
Next month, I am planning on attending the first ever NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Southern California. The Collegiate Bowl is a new event and while the Senior Bowl showcases (you guessed it) Seniors, the Collegiate Bowl will give a chance for underclassmen to gain greater attention through a game and week of practices to show off their skills to NFL coaches and scouts.
With that in mind, and while it's not pretty and it's certainly not complete, here's a first pass at a spreadsheet I've been keeping in the past few weeks to stay updated about underclassmen who have declared for the NFL Draft.
On Monday, I'll run through the players listed as declared and write a blurb about how they might (or might not) fit with the Jets.
Want to help? If you have additions (new names w/links as proof!) to the version, PLEASE send them to me via this Google Form and I will work them into the next version, thanks!!

Video: Holocaust Museum historian on discovery of nazi diary in WNY
WILMINGTON, DEL - Federal officials and representatives from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington have confirmed that a long-lost diary kept by a close confidant of Adolph Hitler has been recovered, after being located in Niagara County, nearly 70 years after it disappeared.
At a news conference Thursday morning they revealed that the "Rosenberg Diary" -- one of the most sought after pieces of missing World War II history, was recovered on April 5th in Lewiston.
However, they would not identify the person from whom it was seized, or state why they would not identify that person.
The diary, according to officials, contains references to-among other things--plans to conduct the holocaust and mass extermination of Jews.
According to Reuters, the diary was found to be in the possession of Herbert Richardson, an 80 year-old Canadian, who operates an academic publishing house in a non-descript building on Portage Road in Lewiston.
Richardson has not returned phone calls from Two on Your Side seeking comment.
A seizure warrant, a copy of which was obtained by WGRZ-TV, does not disclose the location of where the diary was found either.
Read the Rosenberg Diary Seizure Warrant.
The recovery of the Rosenberg Diary came after an extensive investigation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
According to HSI, "The "Rosenberg Diary" was written by Alfred Rosenberg, one of the most notorious members of the Third Reich and of the Nazi Party during World War II. Rosenberg was privy to much of the planning for the Nazi racial state, mass murder of the Jewish people, planning and conduct of World War II and the occupation of Soviet territory. As such, his diary entries could provide historians with a potential wealth of previously unknown information regarding the history of this period."
Rosenberg was a defendant at the Nuremberg Trials, during which he was convicted for conspiracy to commit aggressive warfare, crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Rosenberg was hanged Oct. 16, 1946.
However, the diaries he kept, used as key evidence in his prosecution, vanished.
Officials stated publicly Thursday what had long been assumed -- that the diaries had been spirited out of Germany and to America by one of the Nuremberg prosecutors, Robert Kempner.
According to HSI: Allied forces advancing through Germany seized documents, books, and other records of strategic or tactical importance. After the surrender of Germany in May 1945, governmental authority for Germany was placed into allied hands. This authority included ownership of all documents created by the defeated German government or captured by allied forces. To prepare for war crimes trials after the cessation of hostilities, agencies of the U.S. government examined and selected relevant documents as potential evidence.
Among the documents seized by allied forces was the Rosenberg Diary.
At the conclusion of the Nuremberg Tribunals, Kempner returned to the United States and lived in Lansdowne, Pa. Contrary to law and proper procedure, Kempner removed various documents, including the Rosenberg Diary, from U.S. government facilities in Nuremberg and retained them until his death in 1993."
The recovery of the diary was announced Thursday by ICE Director John Morton; U.S. Attorney Charles M. Oberly III, District of Delaware; and Henry Mayer, senior advisor on archives at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
"This important record of the crimes of the Third Reich and the Holocaust is now preserved for all to see, study and learn from. Combating the international theft of cultural heritage is a key part of our work, and no matter how long these items may appear to be lost to history, work will continue," said Morton.
Morton added that, "we believe that what we have recovered is the original (diary). We also believe there are no copies, and therefore, this document is truly one of a kind," before stating, "reading the diary is like looking into the mind of a dark soul."
"The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is thrilled to have recovered the diary of Alfred Rosenberg, a leading Nazi ideologue," said U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Director Sara J. Bloomfield. "As we build the collection of record on the Holocaust, having material that documents the actions of both perpetrators and victims is crucial to helping scholars understand how and why the Holocaust happened. The story of this diary demonstrates how much material remains to be collected and why rescuing this evidence is such an important museum priority."
The Odyssey of the Rosenberg Diary:
While it has widely been reported that the Rosenberg Diary was in the possession of Richardson, who in 1999 was found to be in possession of several other papers once kept by Kempner, federal authorities have yet to confirm that.
And while they were careful not to even mention his name on Thursday, they made several veiled references to a person who has many markers of being Richardson, while divulging details of the search for the diary which began in earnest 17 years ago, three years after Kempner died at the age of 93.
"In March of 1996, on the 50th Anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, two of Kempner's former legal secretaries approached the Holocaust Museum," said Henry Mayer, the museum's senior advisor on archives.
"They urged us to approach Mr. Kempner's two surviving children and urge them to turn over all his personal papers the Holocaust Museum, and they eventually agreed."
Mayer said that in 1997, a team of museum librarians, historians, and archivists visited the house and found a cache of documents related to the Third Reich.
"There was an unfortunate lapse, and we were not allowed to re-enter the home until two years later, after some legal issues had been resolved," Mayer said.
According to Mayer, when the team received notification that they could re-enter the home in 1999, they returned to find "much of the collection we observed in 1997 to be gone."
Mayer says soon thereafter, they were informed that a truck had arrived with one of the legal secretaries and her "friend" from "Upstate New York" who had removed the collection.
(It was reported in 1999 by the Philadelphia Inquirer that Richardson persuaded Kempner's former legal secretary, Margot Lipton, who had been allowed to live in Kempner's home following his death, to sign over legal decision-making power to him and move to an assisted-living facility in Lewiston before persuading her to move Kempner's estate in November 1998)
"We went to Lewiston, NY to the home of a 'former academic' and after a bit of, how you might say, 'negotiating' we were allowed to retrieve the material," Mayer said. "But the story didn't stop there."
Mayer says that in 2001, the museum was tipped to the existence of several more Kempner documents, in a storage locker in Amherst.
"These turned out to be materials not shown to us before," said Mayer, who went on to explain that those documents were eventually retrieved by the museum under court order.
Still, the Rosenberg Diary remained elusive.
"Throughout this time we still searched for the long lost diary but it never appeared," Mayer said.
"After retrieving the material from Amherst, the sister of Kempner's legal secretary recalled hearing that her sister gave the Rosenberg Diary to a 'friend' for safe keeping," said Mayer.
"We tried along with the Department of Justice all legal manner to obtain the diary," Mayer said.
According to Mayer, in 2012 the museum hired Robert Wittman, a retired FBI agent turned private investigator, noted for his success in recovering stolen artwork, in its effort to track down the Rosenberg Diary.
"It was determined to be in the hands of of Kempner's secretary's 'friend'," said Mayer. "Subsequently, we convinced this 'friend' that it belonged to the Holocaust Museum, and we were able to retrieve it on April 5th of 2013."
The U.S Attorney for Delaware, whose office was involved in the recovery, would not comment on whether anyone will face criminal charges.
"We won't speak to whether a crime was committed," said Morton. "But we are confident the documents belong to the United States, and want to ensure that record is clear from here forward."
