4e Encounter Design... Why does it or doesn't it work for you?
Was thinking on this recently and was wondering about it mostly from the perspective of the 4e fans who claim that the encounter guidelines "work" in 4e. What does this mean? What is the criteria being used to determine this? Is a challenging encounter usually "challenging"? If so how do you relate this descriptor to what actually happens in an encounter? Same for easy and hard as well.
On the other hand I would also be interested in hearing from those for which the guidelines don't work and why that is... In general is a hard encounter usually a cakewalk? Is challenging too easy? How do you view the descriptors of easy/challenging/hard and do 4e's encounter guidelines fall in line or outside of what you picture these descriptors as representing?Nobody built like me, I designed myself ...as an

Most of my encounter design is building a dungeon and populating it with monsters. These monsters might be separate encounters or they might overlap depending on how the PCs behave. For instance, a sentry might escape and alert a larger force of the PCs arrival. If the PCs kill the sentry before he can raise the alram, that makes the larger force easier to overcome. To get something similar in 4E, you have to build the encounter with the sentry as a skill challenge or some other contrived encounter. It just doesn't feel natural to me.
That's not to say that 4E type encounter design is all bad. When I ran an adventure in a city with each encounter completely separate from the other envounters, 4E style design worked well. It also worked well for a big climatic final battle type conclusion.
My most common case of building a dungeon and putting monsters in it and creating defenses for them didn't work with 4E though. I'd rather have it as an optional way to build encounters for special cases instead of the default way though.Respect the narrative! Tame the plot!

Things that I like about them include that they're easy to balance and easy to create. The XP guidelines and monster XP values give a good indication of the encounter's difficulty in most situations.
The thing that I don't like has been covered many times on this board: challenging encounters tend to be long, which can end up being grindy.

For me it's easier to access the threat level or encounter difficulty; XP budgets are easier for me to grasp than 3e's CR/EL system, which was very much more of an art than a science. Furthermore, the XP budget helps track. The same XP budget can translate to different things (an elite 7th level monster is 600 xp. 1 of them make an encounter for 6 1st level PCs, one of 6 monsters against the same group at level 12, and so on). An XP budget lets you build with a variety of different levels of monsters, while still getting the same relative oomf.
Monster roles make it easier to grok what monsters can do quickly, and what I can expect from them/how to use them more aptly, and what I need in an encounter. Monster roles also help if I wanted to build an encounter when I have a smaller group.
I also like that 4e has it so that 1 PC = 1 monster of equal level. This means I get to use more monsters in an encounter.
Not to mention that I've broken down all the to hit/damage/hit points of monster roles by level on a table, and just looking at it, I can quickly assemble an encounter on the fly. With all the math done, all I have to do is think of a few quick powers to differentiate the monsters and boom.
Edit: I found this great post by @S'mon that explains what I mean by the Xp budget and verisimilitude greatly:
8th level guards in 1e-3e were not credible, but in 4e a 9th level guard is only 'worth' 4 1st level guards, the scaling is such that 'high' level NPCs are not a problem and don't violate any setting assumptions around demographics.
The 4e inherent bonuses system obviates the need for magic items, likewise.
Edit: In 4e, rather than have 9th level guards suddenly appear, they can always be 400 XP creatures and you scale the stats to the PCs - 5th level Elites, 9th level Standards, or 17th level Minions. I'd use those stats for crack troops in my Forgotten Realms game.

I find making 4e encounters pretty easy, but I don't use the official guidelines. I go with 1 monster of equal level per PC, with half of them as Elites is a fairly ordinary encounter. I have 7 PCs, so the extra synergies the big party creates overcomes the 3 Elites.
I tend to notice that right after they level up I'm a bit behind the curve. 9th level was especially brutal, as I had no idea how awesome Blade Barrier was going to be in the cramped quarters of that particular fight.
I gave up on dungeon crawls a long time ago, so I can't really address the OP. I've done 3 "dungeon crawls" in 4e. Two of them I did as extended skill challenges (all the exploration and mapping were skill challenges) with two or three large set piece battles. I threw small encounters in as group checks (everyone hit AC20, an at will give 1 success, an encounter 2, and a daily 3, each failure costs a surge, and group failure costs another). The third as a raid on a rival clan, and that was more traditional. I had a number of guard posts with level equivalent encounters and a roaming guard that was another level equivalent encounter that I knew was going to be added to an existing encounter - that was brutal. But that "dungeon" also had over half the complex mapped out due to scouting, so there wasn't a lot of exploration to it. The players also knew there would be no extended rest during the entire raid, so they knew they had to husband their resources.

And you can have sentries that run and warn larger groups. In fact, several published adventures have that possibility, with an encounter being listed as, say, "level 8+", meaning that it is encounter 8 as written, but more creatures will arrive and the encounter will increase in difficulty if the PCs don't act on it.Claudio Pozas

Why do I love all of this accuracy? Because it means the risk of accidentally TPKing my party, or of boring them to death, is very low.
Oddly, I don't have the problem that Derek has with those 'kill the sentry before he sounds the alarm' encounters. If the PCs can gank the sentry before he takes his turn, they get an easy encounter. If not, they have a hard encounter.

Overall, yes the 4e encounter building guidelines are a good starting point to allow the DM to predict roughly how difficult an encounter will be for a party of five PCs - how many resources the PCs will use, whether it is likely that a PC could die, the perceived tension of the players, etc.
However, once you start getting into larger/smaller parties, creative player use of rituals or high-level spells, start breaking the rules as a DM (eg. Lateral thinking encounters), include game-changing terrain powers or support, have alternate objectives besides "kill all monsters", and so forth, you quickly are in more advanced territory than a simple numbers game.
IME 4e encounter design has a good math basis, perhaps better than any previous edition's encounter building guidelines, but there is still very much an art to it.
On the other hand I would also be interested in hearing from those for which the guidelines don't work and why that is... In general is a hard encounter usually a cakewalk? Is challenging too easy? How do you view the descriptors of easy/challenging/hard and do 4e's encounter guidelines fall in line or outside of what you picture these descriptors as representing?
We haven't finished the fight yet but it seems like an almost even match. I'd say the PCs have a 40-50% chance of defeating the dragon with more alive than dead/unconscious, depending on their tactics, dice rolls, and outside-of-the-box thinking. And maybe a 60-70% chance of defeating the dragon with 1 or 2 PCs left standing.
So not a cakewalk by any means.

A $5 million contract has been awarded to Panola Construction Company to begin an expansion at Greenville-Weston High School.
The Delta Democrat Times reported that the gym will be renovated and 14 additional classrooms will be built. Work is scheduled to begin this summer.
School district spokesman Everett Chinn said when the work is completed, the process of combining the two high schools can begin.
Chinn said the district should be able to have one high school by the start of the 2014-15 school year.
Chinn said the school will be renamed Greenville High School and the Weston name will only be used at the T.L. campus, which will become the district's second middle school. Coleman is the other middle school.

I need to get one of these. I have a German surplus fold up jobbie. Nice, but damn, it weighs 75 lbs.
I have the folding german shovel, too -- not light, but it's a solid puppy -- that lock can't fail and it's got a real pick on the back.

a) I heal really quick.
b) I learn even faster where pain and/or blood is involved...

Hell, I pulled the trigger on the marbles sheath, gonna try it out myself. Will let you guys know if it works. If it does, it's nice and cheap and comes with a sharpening stone in a pouch on the front. The CS shovel head is smaller than the marbles shovel head, so I don't know why it wouldn't fit.

Skill Level Beginner
Transitions in Premiere Elements have certain default parameters like a 1 second duration, but you can customize every single transition in your project. Now that doesn't mean you have to learn how to adjust 120 different transitions. Rather, each transition has up to seven different parameters that you can adjust. Here is a run down. Duration, how long is the transition? Alignment, how does that line up with the edit between the two clips? Direction, left to right, top to bottom. A border, which can have a width and color. You can play it in reverse. It might have an anti- aliasing quality, which I'll explain in a moment, or it could have a custom feature.
To follow along with this tutorial, open up 06-adjust. You will see that there are three clips in the Timeline and we are going to apply transitions between these clips to show you the parameters that you can adjust to customize your transitions. So let's start with something simple. Go to Edit, Transitions, and select Cross Dissolve. When you apply Cross Dissolve, you will see that it has only two adjustable features and the way you get there is by double-clicking on this rectangle to open up the Transition Parameters view. If I go click Project and try a different way to select the transition here. Go to Transitions and click Edit Transitions. It's another way to open up this Parameters view.
Then go to Sceneline and click on the transition to select it. Go back to Transitions and open up Transitions this way. So there are several ways to get into edit the transition. I would like to look at the Timeline, so I'll go back there. Now this transition, Cross Dissolve, has only two parameters that you can adjust in terms of how the transition will look. So we will start with Duration. The default duration is 1 second. If you drag this to the right, you can increase it; if you drag it to the left, you can decrease it. I'll increase it to about, let's say, 2 seconds or so. Now if I play it, it will last for 2 seconds. You will notice that this little rectangle down here is now longer.
It's demonstrating that this transition is now 2 seconds long. It gradually goes from one scene to the next. You can also adjust where the transition is located. So I'll double -click on it again to open up those parameters. I want to say -- I don't want to Center at the Cut, I want it to Start at the Cut. Meaning that it starts here, right after this clip, and it starts at the edit point, the cut. So that clip ends and it begins to go to the next one. Or I can say I want it to End at Cut. Again, this kind of placement is very dependent on how you want the edits to look. For the most part, you want the transition to be centered on the cut. This is the default way of doing things.
Let me apply a different transition to show you another parameter, the Reverse parameter. One transition that's really good for that, that really demonstrates that clearly, is called the Curtain effect. So let me go to Curtain and drag that down, let's say, to this particular set of clips. I double-click on it to open up the Edit Transitions view and you will notice that it has an additional feature called, Reverse. Now a typical curtain would open to the next scene, right? I'll show you that, right to that shot, pretty dramatic, but you can also have it close. You can have it play in reverse, essentially, by clicking Reverse. Instead of opening to the next scene, it closes and shows the next scene sort of on the curtain. Your choice. Obviously the more dramatic thing here is to open up to the shot but your choice, you can go either way.
Let me show you a couple of more features by putting on a different transition. I'll go back to Transitions and we will try something called border and anti-aliasing using the pinwheel. Now I don't know where the pinwheel is located. There are so many transition groups and I can't really find the pinwheel quickly. So I'm going to start typing in the search area here, pin, and after a while, w -- there it is. It locates it really well. So now, I want to drag the pinwheel down to the Timeline to replace the Curtain transition. The pinwheel you will notice has a pinwheel effect, but pinwheel, if you double-click on it, has two other parameters that you haven't seen up to this point, Border Width and Border Color. Border Width will go along these edges here. So I'll just start dragging this to the right to increase the Border Width to something like 5 or so. That puts a border there.
A black border is kind of abrupt here when you have got some underwater video. So I want to pick a different color. So I click on the color picker, I can pick let's say a nice blue, for example. That changes the border but you can also pick a color from the scene, which is very cool, using this Eyedropper tool. So I click the Eyedropper, you can roll it around the scene to pick a color that you like from the scene to make it so it may be a little more complementary to your scene. So I'll pick this purple here. That would be, perhaps, a different way to do it that you might like.
There is another feature inside that particular transition called Anti-aliasing. Whenever you have any diagonals like this, then Premiere Elements always gives you the option to turn on Anti-aliasing. If you look along the edge there, you see that there is some pretty sharp jagged stair steps. I'm going to change the color, so it's more obvious. I'll go back to something like black and then you can see it. You see those stair steps there? You can get rid of those stair steps. That's called aliasing, by putting on Anti-aliasing. You will notice over here that Anti- aliasing Quality is Off by default but if you click this down arrow, you can select High Anti-aliasing which makes it really soft, almost kind of blurry, or Low, or Medium. We will try High to see that it softens the edge, so the transition is not so abrupt along those diagonal lines. That's anti-aliasing.
Let's move on to another feature, the last of the seven features. This is called Custom. Some transitions have a Custom feature, not all but just some. The custom features are dependent on the individual transition. So I'll click this Custom button. That opens up the Pinwheel Settings, which in this particular case is the number of wedges. Here we have 8 as the default but let's change that to 4. Click OK and boom, it changes to 4 wedges instead of 8. 4 sets of wedges as I move along here. Starts with 4, then it starts transitioning. See how that works? There are several other transitions that have Custom button. So let's just look at a couple more. We will look at something called Card Flip. Now again, I don't know what Card Flip is. So I'm going to type up, card, there is Card right there. We will replace this transition with Card Flip. Card Flip has a little Custom button that has two numbers in it. How many rows, how many columns.
Well, I'll change the number of rows to 4 and the number of columns to 10. It talks about how these things flip. Let me just pick a different choice here and take a look and watch how this particular transition looks. All right, one more transition I want to show you is called the Iris Star. Iris Start has a feature that's different than these custom features. It doesn't have a Custom button per se. It has a little custom feature where you can target it. So I'm going to drag this down to this particular transition because I want the Iris Star to start on that fish's eye. So you see the Iris Star's layer, it doesn't really start on its eye. If I double-click on it, I can move this little target to be right there that eye. So that the transition could come out of its eye, watch that.
Boom! So you can sort of target the transitions. These are all the parameters and you will find that each transition has some or all of these parameters in it and you can customize all of your transitions to your heart's content.

First, some ground rules.
Thor can use his enchanted hammer Mjolnir, his belt of strength, and the magical gantlets that allow him to wield Mjolnir. You might call Thor a wussy for needing the gauntlets, but even a god's hands can get burnt from tossing lightning around. Jesus is not allowed to resurrect himself during the match. In case JC goes down he must stay down for at least three days. In this situation the fight goes to Thor although a rematch may be in the cards. Yes, Joe Rogan will be commentating with Big John McCarthy the referee. This is obviously a title fight and there will be five five minute rounds.
Who is the favored to win?
Thor is heavily favored to win. Why?
Thor kills giants.
Do the math.
How I see the fight occurring.
Thor is not the brainiest of gods. This is how the big guy has fought in the past.
Take out hammer.
A simple, yet elegant plan of destruction.
Jesus has a more complex problem, namely how to avoid getting mauled by an angry 280lbs of all-muscle Norse god.
Cheat to win.
Although resurrection is clearly illegal instantaneous healing is not. If Jesus can heal himself faster than Thor can inflict damage then Jesus stands a chance. However, this is not cheating, per se. The cheating comes during the later rounds.
After Thor has tired himself from all of the useless smashing Jesus will pull the switcheroo. Thor will no longer be fighting the Lamb of God (mmm... lamb), but now be toe to toe will YAHWEH - Jesus' insanely violent dad. Seeing the Jesus and God the Father are of the same substance (yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense, that's why it's a "mystery") it isn't strictly against the rules and regulations. Of course, it does break the spirit of the Law, but since YAHWEH isn't bound by the Law he can do whatever he wants.
It becomes a real fight after that! Will Thor be able to knockout or submit the Sky Fairy of the Abrahamic faiths? Will YAHWEH take out Thor out with a rear naked choke?
That is something I'd pay to see...
in Purgatory.

Nuvet Vestibular Testimonials
"...he was almost symptom free!"
I had my 11 yr old Boxer to the vet, for what I thought was post stroke pathology. His symptoms were nausea stumbling falling down and I actually thought he was blind in one eye. He has also suffered from arthritis for a few years. Then I researched his symptoms on the Internet and realized he had old dog vestibular disease. Then NuVet Plus came up and many positive testimonials, so I decided it sure can't hurt. Within 2 weeks of taking NuVet Plus he was almost symptom free! His arthritic hips seemed to get much better. I highly recommend NuVet Plus for all dogs especially elderly ones with aging immune systems.
Thank you NuVet.

"What a difference! Her skin and coat are beautiful!"
My Dog Mitzy, a Pug, had developed vestibular disease as the result of the scarring caused by the chronic ear infections. She was also very itchy and uncomfortable most of the time and would develop red sores. NuVet Plus seemed to address most of her problems and I thought it seemed too good to be true, but I thought I'd give it a try. What a difference! Her skin and coat are beautiful! Ears are open and clean, I even think she's hearing better too. Her energy level has gone up and symptoms of vestibular disease are disappearing. Thank you for a wonderful product.

Prep School Hippie
Also Known As: Trust Fund Baby
Music/Lyrics: Anastasio
Vocals: Trey
Debut: 1985-09-27
Historian: Emilie Kennedy
Basically a one-joke song, Prep-School Hippie has only made it to the stage five times. It has been speculated that the band retired this song for fear that they might insult some of their fans, but a more likely guess is that the joke had simply worn thin.
The songs lyrics describe a persons internal debate on whether to be a Prep School Hippie or a Hip School Preppie. The narrator is trying to decide if he should spend my adolescent days wearing tie-dies or Vuarnets. The song was seemingly meant to make fun both of many of the fans that follow the Grateful Dead as well as their preppie opposites. Appropriately enough, Phish, with their vaguely preppie/hippie backgrounds, seems to represent both states of being. At the end of the song Trey screams, I cant wait until Im 21, dip into my trust fund! Performed on 9/26/85 on Burlingtons WRUV Exposure program, the song was in fact introduced as Trust Fund Baby
If youre interested in hearing this song, dig up 9/27/85, 10/30/85, 2/3/86, 4/15/86, or 12/6/86. It is unlikely that we will see this one in Phishs repertoire in the future, lest it incite lot skirmishes between trustafarians and the kidz. Then again

The Call of the Wild
by Jack London
The Call of the Wild Pride Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened, and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw Sol-leks in the position he had held and served so long. For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick unto death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work. (4.29)
Pride is a strong emotion, surviving even the threat of death.
Quote #8
"They told us up above that the bottom was dropping out of the trail and that the best thing for us to do was to lay over," Hal said in response to Thornton's warning to take no more chances on the rotten ice. "They told us we couldn't make White River, and here we are." This last with a sneering ring of triumph in it. (5.53)
Pride can be dangerous; it prevents Hal from taking advice that would have saved his life.

AIKEN CTY, S.C.---Three towns in the Valley--Graniteville, Vaucluse and Warrenville--may become one. But before they do, there are lots of details that have to be worked out.
Tonight was the final meeting before they petition to get a referendum on the ballot. They want voters to make an informed decision.
News 12 talked to one committee officer who told us why this is an important decision to make.
"So we can improve the life of our community and also preserve the history in the textile towns," Ronald Wood said.
Supporters say the smaller towns will have a stronger identity and better quality of life if they join together.
They're hoping for a vote on the plan by early 2008.

- Fink http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/mutt
- MacPorts http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/mail/mutt-devel/Portfile

Note: Our best free PC backup software round-up has been fully updated. This feature was first published in March 2013.
From viruses and bugs, to hardware failure or simple human error, there are many potential dangers waiting to trash your files.
And if the worst happens – you lose personal photos, your music library, vital business documents – then that could be a real disaster. Which is why it's a very good idea to back up your PC on a regular basis.
This is never going to be fun, of course, but with the right software it'll be easier than you think. And you may not have to spend anything, either, because there are some great free (for personal use) backup and disk cloning tools around for Windows.
AOMEI Backupper Standard
AOMEI Backupper Standard is a good-looking and easy-to-use backup tool with a pile of features: file sync, partition, disk or system image backups, disk cloning, easy browsing of backup images and a bootable rescue disc for emergencies.
A super-flexible scheduler can run your backups automatically at regular intervals, daily, on certain days of the week, and more – just set it up and you're done.
There are a few limitations when compared to the $49 (around £33, AU$69) Backupper Professional edition – namely that you can't merge backup images, there's no backup disk space management, no system cloning or migration. But overall AOMEI Backupper Standard performs very well, and there's more than enough power here for most people.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free
At first glance, EaseUS Todo Backup Free seems much like the competition – you get file, disk and system image backups, a scheduler, disk cloning, and a bootable recovery disc for easy image restoration.
But then you notice some major extras, such as the Smart Backup system which checks the folders you specify and backs up whatever has changed. Or the support for saving your archives to Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.
There's real depth here, too, with many options you won't always see in the free competition. Backup encryption; full, incremental and differential support; network throttling to reduce performance impact; "pre-OS boot" to recover backups without a disc; not to mention both a Windows PE and a Linux rescue environment.
All this power does make EaseUS Todo Backup Free a touch more intimidating than the best of the rest, but it's still not difficult to use. If your backup needs are demanding, try this one first.
Macrium Reflect Free
Macrium Reflect Free won't be for everyone. There's no file-based backups in the free build, it's strictly image-only, and the interface isn't what we'd call novice-friendly (one tooltip reads "Validate the XML syntax of the selected file").
Still, experienced users will find a lot to like here: differential imaging, compression, a powerful scheduler, image > VHD conversion, a feature-packed Windows PE rescue disc, and in-depth control over how long backups are kept.
Backup Templates help you put together a professional backup plan in seconds, too. Choose the "Differential Backup Set" template, say, and the program sets itself up to run a full backup monthly, and a differential backup every day (these can be tweaked as required).
Factor in Macrium Reflect's good performance and overall reliability, and it makes a good imaging backup choice.
FBackup is an interesting file backup tool, a little short on features but with a strong focus on keeping operations as simple as possible.
A plug-in system, for example, allows you to back up key data – Chrome and Firefox profiles, Outlook mail, IE favourites, pictures, documents – with a couple of clicks.
A "mirror backup" option simply copies your files from one location to another, with no compression or imaging to get in your way. And the wizard-based interface means you'll be creating your first backup job in no time at all.
There are also restrictions, in particular no support for incremental or differential backups. But if you just need a quick and easy file-based system, FBackup is worth a look.
BackUp Maker
BackUp Maker is clearly aiming to be the file-based backup tool for everyone. A simple wizard means novices can get started in seconds, but experts will find plenty of extras including encryption, password protection, excluding files by size, backup to CD/DVD/Blu-ray/FTP/FTPS, the ability to run backups when a USB device is plugged in, send backup reports by email, and more.
Unfortunately, there's a catch, and it's a big one. The program can't back up locked files unless you buy a €15 (around £11, $16, AU$23) extra.
BackUp Maker wouldn't be our choice for a general backup tool, then. But if you just need to back up some files which aren't being used – pictures, music, documents – then the lengthy feature set makes it worth giving this program a go.
Areca Backup
Targeted squarely at the expert user, Areca Backup offers a host of expert-level options and tweaks, including filtering by extension, folder, size, date, status and regular expression, Zip and Zip64 support, AES and AES256 encryption, backup to local or network drives, FTP, FTPS or SFTP servers, and more.
The interface does little to help you out, unfortunately, and most tasks are trickier than you'd expect. Scheduling, for instance? Set it up yourself via the command line tool.
There's no backup of locked files, either, unless you spend €4 (around £3, $4, AU$6) on an add-on.
Still, there are major pluses here. Like the delta backup technology which saves only the modified parts of files, potentially giving you a huge speed boost. Or the ability to recover files by a specific date.
On balance, if you're an experienced user who needs the fine control Areca Backup offers, it deserves a closer look.
Paragon Backup and Recovery 14 Free
Paragon Backup & Recovery hasn't been updated for a while, and it's not difficult to tell. It suffers from a clunky interface, image backups only (not files), some useful exclude filters – and saving to VHD/ VMDK images – but otherwise there's nothing surprising about the core engine.
Still, Paragon's option to save your image to a "capsule" – a secure area where it's less likely to be lost if your partition is damaged – is worth having.
You also get an excellent bootable rescue disc, and there's a basic set of partition management tools thrown in.
Put it all together and Paragon is still a contender, but the company will need to deliver more, and soon.
QILING Disk Master Professional
QILING Disk Master Professional grabbed our attention immediately with a simple but effective strategy – throwing in more features than just about any other backup program ever.
So of course you get file and imaging backups, with full/incremental/differential support, compression, password protection, scheduling, and full or partial restoration from a Windows PE rescue disc or a pre-boot environment on your hard drive.
But there are also tools to clone a drive. Migrate your system. Create, format, delete and recover disk partitions. Check your hard drive's health. There's a RAM disk, a defrag tool, a virtual disk for easy software testing, and more.
Some of these options are basic, and high-end competitors do better in a few areas (EaseUS Todo Backup Free has a smarter scheduler, for example), but QILING Disk Master Professional's all-round versatility still earns it a thumbs-up from us.

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
If you took your lessons from TV, (where people are depicted in broad generalizations), then all nerds (or geeks, whatever you want to call the people who like the type of things we like) are part of one giant group. Apparently we all go to Comic-Con, we all dress up in costumes, we all read comic books, we all love science fiction, we all play endless games, we all play D&D, we all love Lord of the Rings movies, etc… But it isn't true. Some of us like some of those things and some of us definitely do not like some of them.
In contrast to this strange media depiction of one giant, inclusive community of nerds, in many circles there is a pretty exclusionary attitude towards the other circles of fandom. While it isn't very extreme (there aren't Warriors or West Side Story style confrontation going on at conventions between Doctor Who fans and Game of Thrones fans… even though that would be very entertaining) there is a fair amount of animosity. One group will often have little or no understanding of what the other groups are into, and we can find it quite insulting to be lumped into one amorphous "nerd" banner. This kind of division can seem random from the outside, but it is nothing new, and certainly isn't isolated to our culture of fandom. It has always existed within politics, religion, sexuality, etc. People like to be acknowledged for their unique features, not randomly labeled in ways they do not identify.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

Denzel Washington Is An Oscar Winning Actor, But He Wears "Old Uncle Clothes" To The Club In ATL…[PICS]
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Are You Feelin This Get Up?, For the Ladies, For Your Viewing Pleasure
The usually dapper and well-dressed Denzel looked a little, dare we say…bummy
According to TMZ reports:
Sporting his finest Nike tracksuit and New Balance sneakers, Denzel Washington hit up an Atlanta nightclub this weekend — proving once and for all, dress codes are for poor people.
Denzel didn't drink a drop — but sources at Reign nightclub tell TMZ, the actor picked up a $5,000 tab for his pals — who put down 5 bottles of Ciroc vodka, 5 bottles of Don Julio, and 5 bottles of Moët Rosé.
Denzel's in town filming for a movie called "Flight" — and based on the perma-smile on his face, he's having an alright time.
Are you feelin' Denzel get up???
Flip through to get a good look at Denzel's swagless club attire

by William Wordsworth
Lines 9-14 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 9-10
That in the morning whitened hill and plain
And is no more;
- Everything in nature is as transient as a morning frost that burns off as the sun rises. Nothing lasts. Yada yada yada – I think we've got the point here, Wordsworth.
- The mention of morning returns us to the first two lines, with their faint image of the sun "climbing" and "sinking" in the sky. Comparing the sun's motion throughout the day to the process of aging is another well-known poetic device, called a trope.
- One other thing to think about here: the melting of a heavy frost can completely alter the appearance of a landscape. So, Wordsworth shows how even a simple change can have drastic effects and make the world look totally different to our eyes.
Lines 10-12
drop like the tower sublime
Of yesterday, which royally did wear
His crown of weeds,
- Wordsworth uses another memorable image to demonstrate the sudden effects of change: an old tower that one day just tumbles to the ground.
- British Romantics had a real crush on old collapsing buildings. A lot of Romantic paintings, for example, depict the ruins of some ancient church or castle. Wordsworth himself wrote a very famous poem about the crumbled remains of "Tintern Abbey."
- The "tower" of these lines was once a great and powerful thing. Wordsworth even calls it "sublime." It symbolizes human achievement. But even the grandest achievements cannot survive forever, and the tower has been long out of use.
- The tower was still standing only "yesterday," although it has long been overgrown with "weeds" that it wore like a "crown."
- The image of a "crown of weeds" could refer to a very famous image from Shakespeare's play King Lear, in which the aging and retired king goes a bit crazy in the woods and makes himself a crown of weeds to replace the real crown he has given up. This poem and King Lear share more than a little in common.
Line 12-14
but could not even sustain
Some casual shout that broke the silent air,
Or the unimaginable touch of Time.
- The tower was so fragile that its fall could have been caused the reverberating sound waves of a person's shout or by a gentle touch. Wordsworth uses these images to form a contrast with the tower's once powerful state.
- Back in the day, you would have needed a lot of soldiers to bring down a tower like that. But after time got through with it, even the "shout" of a voice could knock the tower down.
- He's kind of making fun of the tower, because it's this huge man-made object that "could not" handle something so minor as sound waves that break the silence.
- As for the last line, imagine a guy coming up to the tower and placing one finger against it, and the whole thing topples over. That guy would be like the force of time. Except you can't imagine time – it's an abstract concept.
- Wordsworth uses this really interesting phrase – "the unimaginable touch of Time" – to try to describe the indescribable. There's a bit of irony in what he says, though, because he has just written an entire sonnet that tries to "imagine" the effects of time!

I bought a house during that time and FMC showed my account as non-active. During that time I bought a house and had to have the mortgage company call FMC three-way so that they could explain about my dad filing BK and that was why the loan was just "sitting" there on my credit report. NOW - 3 years later - it shows in default/paid after bad debt. My homeowners just went up 102% because of this! I'm so angry. I didn't file BK, yet this is really hurting my credit. I'm a struggling teacher and a single parent and the amount my mortgage is going to go up is really going to hurt me financially. Any advice? Recommendations?

Seeking Development InformationPosted Monday, 20 August, 2012 - 19:25 by CyberMages in
Hi everyone.
I have been looking around the site trying to find the latest stable release version and determine what versions of OpenGL it supports. I know the latest and greatest version out is 4.3. I don't expect that to be supported yet, but I would hope version 4.1 is. I noticed the download on the home page has a date of 10-06-2010, so I will assume version 4.1 is the latest version supported by that release.
I guess what I'm looking for overall is information on the current development and if there is any information about, or a road-map of, what is coming down the pipeline. Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.
OpenGL 4.1 is supported.
I cannot say much more than already said here besides that I now have a DX11 capable CPU and will look into 4.2/4.3 and hacking a few examples together when Intels OpenGL driver arrives.
I noticed the download on the home page has a date of 10-06-2010, so I will assume version 4.1 is the latest version supported by that release.
This is only the latest release build available. Note that there are up-to-the-minute nightly builds (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentk/files/opentk/nightly/) available as well as the SVN repository itself (http://www.opentk.com/project/svn) which I would recommend. This source code might not always be stable, but it is up-to-date and obvious errors are fixed quickly. The most recent OpenGL version that is supported is OpenGL 4.2, I think.
Thank you for your replies.
That was an interesting forum post to read. I did not realize the entire development of the OpenTK seems to revolve around The Fiddlers availability. This is a little troubling as I was hoping to use OpenTK in a business project. On the bright side, since 4.1 is fully supported in the release build we should be alright for now.
I thank you for the links to the repository for the most up-to-date source code. I'll look in to the viability of using that source later, but I don't think it will pass the risk management portion of the project I am working on.
Again, thank you very much for the additional information.

Busy Breeden
The neverending battle between Hollinger International and its parent company, Hollinger Inc., could trigger a clause that would increase former SEC commissioner Richard Breeden's role in the dispute. Already having served as an adviser to the committee that conducted an internal probe of Hollinger International, Breeden would become a "special monitor" in the dispute. If that happens, reports the Financial Times, Hollinger International will have to set up a $750,000 kitty to make sure Breeden and his staff get paid. The FT points out that last year not only was Breeden appointed independent monitor of KPMG's U.S. tax business, he also announced he was starting an activist hedge fund focused on corporate governance issues. The FT notes that current SEC chair Chris Cox "must already be excited about" the job opportunities that might await upon a return to private practice.

Idenix's Setback Could Be Vertex's Gain
Idenix Pharmaceuticals is suspending clinical development of an experimental drug for hepatitis C, the company said this morning.
The decision follows discussions with the FDA about the drug, called valopicitabine. The halt was "based on the overall risk/benefit profile observed to date in clinical testing," the company said. Idenix shares slid $1.86, or 32%, to $3.93 in early trading.
In March 2006, Novartis exercised an option to license valopicitabine, paying Idenix $25 million and providing ongoing development funding. "We are disappointed with the FDA's perspective on the program and are working with Novartis to evaluate our options for valopicitabine," Idenix CEO Jean- Pierre Sommadossi said in a statement.
The problems for Idenix could provide a boost to rival Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which is developing a competing drug for hepatitis C, called telaprevir. Vertex's drug is a variation on protease inhibitors used to treat HIV. If approved, it could be the first breakout success for the company. See this prior Health Blog posts on Vertex's drug here and here.
Update: The Health Blog spoke with Idenix. Last year, the company had reduced the doses of the drug in clinical trials after concerns about gastrointestinal side effects at higher doses. Idenix said it provided FDA with more data since then, but the agency isn't satisfied with the results. The FDA said clinical trials in the U.S. would have to be suspended until the company provides "enough information for [the FDA officials] to change their assessment," an Idenix spokeswoman said.

Criminal Justice Lawyer
Typical Day
There is something different about the name of one of the local prosecutor's cases scheduled for trial next week. It seems the defendant who was charged for throwing his feces at a police officer after being picked up for DUI just changed his name to "Lunatic." "Hopefully," he thought, "he'll plea like all the others, and I'll only have to say his name once and pray to God I don't burst out laughing." But there is no time to deal with that now, with a rape case scheduled to resume at 1:30—or whenever the judge feels like herding in the jury. He has to recover from his witness' nonresponsive answer on cross-examination, which called the defendant, in a perfectly unflinching face, a "barbitual" liar.
He takes his seat in anticipation of defense counsel's closing argument. Judge Cheer enters. Expert witnesses love her, especially the men, with whom she openly flirts on the stand. It was even suspected by the particularly astute court reporter that she used various inflections of "debriefing" with inordinate frequency. "How much have you been debriefed, Dr. Howard?" "Did you bring a copy of the debriefing, Janet?" and, of course, "The facts! Debrief me!"
It is about to begin. The fold of 12 jurors obediently walks into the courtroom and takes their seats. The judge informs them that what is about to proceed is the closing arguments of both the State and the defense, and admonishes them that their statements are not to be accepted as unchallenged truths, but are merely their theories of the case. The defense attorney goes first. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," as so many closing arguments begin, "my client did not abduct this woman's dog." Without missing a beat, the prosecutor stands and says, "That's correct, your Honor."
It's just another colorful day at the office for Makepeace O'War, the local prosecutor, and May Culpa, the defense attorney. Criminal cases are no better petri dishes for mutability because everything happens live. Think about it: how many SNL sketches are consistently funny, apart from Scared Straight? Each courtroom has its own unwritten script of how to take a plea, examine prospective jurors, how much time for opening statements and closing arguments, and a host of other procedures. Generally, this would be more of a problem for May because she isn't assigned to a courtroom like Makepeace, who can familiarize himself with the judge's nuances and attitudes, along with shacking up in the courtroom like it's his second apartment.
You better learn to play things by ear if you're going to deal with the unpredictable behavior of witnesses, victims, defendants, jurors, officers, judges, and attorneys. A thick skin and suppressed superego can help, too. May will have to be on good terms with all the courthouse's personnel to find her way as she floats form room to room. She'll also have to garner excuse credibility tolerance from judges for the next time she's late to court because she had to represent a client in another case or simply forgot to prepare for the immediate case. It's already happened once and judges aren't likely to be so forgiving a second time after they saw her smoking outside the building.
Makepeace won't be seeing much of criminal defendants, which, unfortunately for them, means that they won't get to hear his "Poker Face" chipmunk ringtone. Nevertheless, he'll communicate with his share of victims, which aren't exactly flag waving—though they may be gun toting—patriots. Just last week, Makepeace looked over a theft case involving a victim who recorded his telephone conversation with the defendant, who admitted he had the victim's stolen power tools. Makepeace wanted to investigate further, so he gave the victim a call. When the victim picked up (he could recognize his voice from the recording), Makepeace identified himself, his employer, and asked if he could speak to him. "No speaka Englaze," was the reply, and the victim hung up the receiver. When Makepeace called a second time, the victim burst out in a string of profanity about how many warrants he was going to take out on the caller, and advised Makepeace about just what he could do with his phone. Makepeace dismissed that case for lack of probable cause.
While Makepeace has discretion, May doesn't have the luxury of giving up on her clients or potential witnesses. It was bad enough to argue her client's innocence with regard to the rape charges while he was looking her up and down. Did he really have to go and file a complaint that May had not returned his calls because she had more clients than she could competently handle? "What is this?" she thought. "Is it like an Okaycupid.com date gone bad, and he's complaining to the management about me?" She was doing her best, but this trial wasn't going well for her. That means only one thing: Blame the lawyer. Yes, the law that no good deed goes unpunished also reigns in the criminal system. In the ensuing ineffective assistance of counsel case, everyone will be able to see just how hard she fought for her client, and the best part about it will be that Makepeace will make her out like Clarence Darrow to secure his conviction.

"Dirty" Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang member from Dallas sentenced
A Dallas man got 150 months in federal prison for his role in an Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) criminal enterprise.
James Marshall Meldrum, aka "Dirty," 40, also must served five years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of conspiracy to commit racketeering offenses. He was sentenced this week in a Houston court.
Meldrum and other gang members and associates "agreed to commit multiple acts of murder, robbery, arson, kidnapping and narcotics trafficking on behalf of the ABT gang," according to a Justice Department statement. They "met on a regular basis at various locations throughout Texas to report on gang-related business, collect dues, commit disciplinary assaults against fellow gang members and discuss acts of violence against rival gang members…."
Here's the Justice Department report.

The sys admin's daily grind: Miredo
Exploring the Tunnel
The move from IPv4 to IPv6 must be gradual rather than abrupt. After just two minutes of configuration work, Charly leans back and watches his first IPv6 packets pass through a Miredo tunnel.
Network component manufacturers are still spreading the dread tidings: IP addresses are becoming scarce. Stories spread of large access providers buying out smaller ones to get their hands on their IPv4 address pools. If you prefer not to be a victim of the digital famine, you need to switch quickly, says the industry that offers IPv6-capable switches and gateways.
But really, not many access providers can give you native IPv6. In fact, in the context of discussions on IPv6, the word "move" doesn't seem to be all that appropriate. "Co-location" sounds more like it but does tend to remind one of grammar lessons at school. "Dual-tracking" is maybe the best option, because a peaceful coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 is likely to become the rule, rather than the exception, in the near future.
If you are a customer with an IPv4 provider and would like to add IPv6 to your home network, many tunneling solutions are around that you can try. Configuring them will typically require admin-level skills and is probably beyond the ability of less experienced users, who simply want to explore the field. Teredo solves this problem. The technology, which was developed by Microsoft, sets up an IPv6 tunnel behind a NAT router and automatically distributes the required addresses. Teredo encapsulates the IPv6 payload in v4 UDP datagrams. The Teredo RFC 4380 points out that this is simply an interim solution – other people have been known to refer to it as a "dirty hack."
This Is Not What Problems Look Like
Whatever your opinion, however, Teredo isn't a bad choice for some cautious, initial steps toward IPv6. Setting up Teredo requires virtually no configuration work, and clients are available for any recent operating system. For example, the Linux Miredo [1] client is included with practically any popular distribution. On my Ubuntu lab machine, all I needed to do was type:
apt-get install miredo
to both install the client and start the service. In less than a minute, I had a working IPv6 connection with a prefix of 2001::/32, as defined by the RFC (Figure 1), even though my client resides behind no fewer than two NAT gateways.
Miredo doesn't need a modified kernel; instead, it runs completely in userspace. Although you need to launch Miredo as root to define the required interface parameters, it de-escalates its privileges to nobody after launch. The -u username option lets you specify a user other than nobody. Some distros create a miredo account during the installation.
Finally, a word about security: Whereas NAT routers, which just about every DSL user in the IPv4 world has, put up some kind of protection against undesirable access, IPv6 tears down these barriers. If you are worried about delving into ip6tables, you should at least bind all services suitable for this purpose to localhost (::1).

Now that you have this cute little bundle of fur, teeth, and claws known as a Ragdoll kitten, training him or her not to tear up your home is probably pretty high on your to-do list. Here are tips to help you break in this furry new member of your family.
It is important to teach your new Ragdoll kitten the rules of your home quickly, you don't want you new kitty learning bad behaviors that will be difficult to correct later. Here are tips to help you discourage undesirable behaviors.
Exercise is Key
Kittens come with large amounts of excess energy. You can keep your Ragdoll out of trouble by burning off this energy. Provide your kitten a variety of toys for playtime; these toys do not include your arms, legs, or feet. You do not want to roughhouse with your kitten in this manner as it will encourage poor behaviors that will continue when your cat is an adult.
Litter Box Basics
Your new Ragdoll kitten should already understand the concept of the litter box. Kittens learn about the box very early from their mother and littermates. All that should be required is showing your kitten where the box is located and keeping it clean. Make sure your litter box is near, not too close, to where your kitten eats and sleeps. If you have trouble with your kitten going outside the box, consult your veterinarian to be sure there is not a medical reason for this behavior.
It is best to encourage your kitten to use scratching posts and mats rather than your furniture at an early age. Make sure you are providing several different types of scratching material. You may be able to encourage your kitten to use these scratching posts by rubbing them with catnip or mint. Be sure and reward your kitten with praise and treats to reinforce this behavior when you see it.
Praise and Deterrents
Positive reinforcement in the form of treats and praise are the best way to encourage good behaviors. To discourage bad behaviors there are number of steps you can take; however, you should never hit or spank your kitten. A spray bottle or squirt gun filled with water and a touch of vinegar is an excellent deterrent for negative behaviors. You might try a metal can with coins in it if this is too extreme of a training method for you. Just as you should provide positive reinforcement in the form of praise you need to discourage bad behavior with a stern "No!"
Kittens mellow out somewhat with age; however, it could take a number of years before all of the kitten energy works its way out of your Ragdoll. A little patience goes a long way when it comes to training you new Ragdoll kitten.

Insect bites or stings can be painful and sometimes deadly. Most often bites or stings do not require medical care but an allergic reaction from the sting can be an emergency situation. If a sting occurs from a honey bee, remove the stinger. Do not use tweezers since pinching the stinger will cause more venom to be released. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, observe the site for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, pain).

Play Cinerama
The object of Cinerama is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels. The better your symbol combination, the bigger the payout.
Game Type
- Select the number of paylines you want to activate (in other words, to bet on) by clicking on the Bet One button or the payline number left or right of the reels. When you click on payline number 3 for example, you also activate paylines 1 and 2. Each click on the Bet One buttons activates one more payline. Click Bet Max or payline number 5 to select all paylines. Remember that your total bet (the amount you spend on the game round) is line bet x number of lines selected. Clicking Bet Max will also spin the reels automatically.
- Click Spin (if you did not press Bet Max) to spin the reels.
- If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along an activated payline), you win according to the winning table. Click the Paytable button to see the paytable, if you wish. Close the paytable by clicking the Paytable button again. If you win on multiple paylines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.
Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. You can activate paylines and see their shape by progressively clicking the Bet One button.
Please note: You only win if a combination occurs on an active payline. The Bonus Round 1 symbol is an exception to that rule.
About the Paytable
The tables show a win multiplier for every hit amount for every symbol. For example, if you have four Spotlight symbols in a row on an activated payline, starting on the leftmost reel, you have four hits. Read the number on the line "4x" next to that symbol. Multiply that symbol by your line bet to get your win amount. If you have winning combinations on more than one line, add them all up to get the total win amount. The symbols have to lie consecutively, starting from the leftmost reel, to qualify as hits.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet, not by the total bet. If you
get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
Bonus Rounds
The Director and Headphone symbols are bonus symbols. These symbols do not grant you any winnings, but they enable you to enter the Bonus Round. There is two bonus rounds in Cinerama. For Bonus Round 1, you need to get the Headphone symbol anywhere on the first reel. It does not matter if it is on an activated payline or not.
For Bonus Round 2, you need to get three consecutive Director symbols on an activated payline, starting from the leftmost reel. When you enter a bonus round, follow the instructions on the screen. You will be paid a prize according to the choice(s) you make.
Progressive Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Please note:
- In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
- If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
- If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
The Jackpot for this game works like this:
Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with):
300 000 x coin size
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot):
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):
Five wild symbols on an active payline.
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot):
Play for max bet.
The Camera symbol is also a wild symbol – meaning it stands for any other symbol, except the Director and Headphone symbols, and forms winning combinations in a way most profitable for the player.
Click here to see the paytable. Click again to close it.
Bet One
Bet one coin or increase the bet by one coin (up to a total of five), activating another payline each time.
Bet Max
Bet five coins and spin the reels automatically.
Spin the reels.
The lower edge of the game window holds the casino toolbar. It contains the following:
- Current balance
Your account balance. This is the money you can use to play the casino games.
- Cashier
Clicking this button opens the Cashier window, where you can make deposits and withdrawals, see your transaction history, etc.
- Play for Real Money
This button appears only in Fun or Offline Mode. Clicking it will take you to the Real Money account creation page. If you already have a Real Money account, it will take you to the Play for Real Money login screen.
- Menu
Some popular functions are united under the Menu.
Clicking History (unavailable in Offline mode) will open the game history window, where you can see the details of recent game rounds.
Options allows you to change audio quality and various gameplay settings, and Help opens the help article that you are reading right now.

The Greg Abbott campaign has posted an internet ad raising questions aimed at putting two things together - the words Wendy Davis and FBI. The ad follows a Dallas Morning News story last week that information related to Sen. Wendy Davis' work as a lawyer for the North Texas Tollway Authority are part of an FBI inquiry of the agency. It's not clear whether Davis' work for the tollway authority is a focus of the FBI or only part of the material collected in connection with its look into tollway agency operations. At issue is information Travis County officials say the FBI gave it as part of the Travis DA's inquiry into Davis' work for the tollway authority.
Travis County was responding to a complaint from a political rival. The DA took no action. The DA has refused to release the material in its files because it says it would impede an ongoing FBI investigation of the NTTA. The agency says its probe has to do with present and former board members. Davis worked as a lawyer for the agency but has never been a board member.
Davis is the Democratic nominee for governor against Abbott. She insists her legal work for the agency posed no conflicts with her legislative duties. According to Davis spokesman Zac Petkanas, the FBI has not questioned her. And she's not aware that she's the subject of any investigation. Moreover, he notes that the Travis County DA didn't refer the case to Tarrant County prosecutors, as is its normal custom if it believes a potential crime had occurred elsewhere. While the News story said only that information related to her work for the tollway authority was part of material in an FBI investigation of the agency, the Abbott campaign ad pretty much dispenses with nuance. Here it is, scary music, grainy footage and all:
