Spreading depolarization (SD) is characterized by a massive redistribution of ions accompanied by an arrest in electrical activity that slowly propagates through neural tissue. It has been implicated in numerous human pathologies, including migraine, stroke, and traumatic brain injury, and thus the elucidation of control mechanisms underlying the phenomenon could have many health benefits. Here, we demonstrate the occurrence of SD in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster, providing a model system, whereby cellular mechanisms can be dissected using molecular genetic approaches. Propagating waves of SD were reliably induced by disrupting the extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]o), either directly or by inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase with ouabain. The disturbance was monitored by recording the characteristic surges in [K+]o using K+-sensitive microelectrodes or by monitoring brain activity by measuring direct current potential. With the use of wild-type flies, we show that young adults are more resistant to SD compared with older adults, evidenced by shorter bouts of SD activity and attenuated [K+]o disturbances. Furthermore, we show that the susceptibility to SD differs between wild-type flies and w1118 mutants, demonstrating that our ouabain model is influenced by genetic strain. Lastly, flies with low levels of protein kinase G (PKG) had increased latencies to onset of both ouabain-induced SD and anoxic depolarization compared with flies with higher levels. Our findings implicate the PKG pathway as a modulator of SD in the fly brain, and given the conserved nature of the signaling pathway, it could likely play a similar role during SD in the mammalian central nervous system.

This post is a short discussion of the work I did on my wife's film adaptation of the Korean short story "Daerijeon" by Djuna. It's got a free downloadable copy of the soundtrack available for anyone interested.

Daerijeon OST
Bodhi Dharma's Work Song
I recently made some updates to the Dabang Band subsite, mainly just fixing broken photo galleries but also adding song lyrics from the old archived site so they're better formatted and more easily reachable. While I was doing that, I ran across lyrics for a few songs that never got recorded. One of them wasn't mine, so I don't know how the melody went–I'm pretty sure I never even heard the song, and I'm not sure how it ended up on the website.
However, I also found the remnants of several of my own long-ago attempts at songwriting. It was a tough, frustrating struggle for me: I knew how to write fugues and avant-garde music, I could invent new jazz melodies on established chord changes–though I learned that things like diminished chords were not in the cards for us, which meant all that lovely jazz harmony I'd studied was useless. A rock song? That was an alien structure to me, and I struggled to get a handle on it. Several of my attempts turned out pretty rotten, but since our lead singer asked me to try write something for the band, I went ahead and kept trying. The problem was that I gravitated to formal structures that were more familiar to me… and completely unfamiliar to the rest of the band, which is part of the reason that only two of my songs ever got into rotation at all. ("The Jeonju Zoo," and "The Deep End.") Others–including an odd rock-waltz, and a sort of upbeat country-ish folk song called Spiritwood that I think would have been just lovely, didn't get past a single run-through.
One of the oddest tunes I wrote, though, was called Bodhi-Dharma's Work Song. It was basically a chain gang/work song, like "Berta Berta," which many people probably first saw as part of "The Piano Lesson," though I've always been partial to the version on Branford Marsalis' blues-focused album, "I Heard You Twice the First Time":
Some deep, deep grinding music. That track still blows me away, in part because of its incredible physicality, but also because it just begs to loop and loop and loop. I'm fascinated by musical structures like that, the kind that loop and beg to be looped endlessly. I wondered whether it might be possible to do something that was a little more like churchy music, but using a structure like this, and very simple harmony.
What I came up with was "Bodhi-Dharma's Work Song." The lyrics went like this, with the x2 signifying a repeat of the couplet:
I'm a-walkin' down this road,
Where it goes nobody knows. x2
I'm a-walkin' to the East,
Always famine, never feast. x2
I'm a-preachin' the Lord of Light,
Try to end the endless night… x2
Buddha, you are everywhere,
Come and help me from this snare. x2
Oh Lord, take me home…
Oh Lord, take me home…
Oh Lord, gone so far, so far…
Oh Lord, take me home…
I'm a-walkin' down this road,
Where it goes nobody knows. x2
I'm a-walkin' to the East,
Always famine, never feast. x2
Then the holy one he sighs,
sits up, opens up his eyes. x2
Takes us all inside one hand,
hauls us up to the pure land. x2
I'm a-walkin' down this road,
Where it goes nobody knows. x2
I'm a-walkin' to the East,
Always famine, never feast. x2
Here's some sheet music, with a few fixes for things that just didn't sound write in my original notations, and some other changes to clarify things. If you can read music, you'll notice there is no verse/chorus structure: it's couplets, each sung twice, in roughly the same rhyme and meter–and on a single melody line that shifts slightly for the second pair of couplets:
And here's a PDF, for those who don't have the eyes of a twenty-year-old.
The second voice line was just a suggested harmony. It wouldn't be present all the time, probably just in the second and last verse, though it would be up to the singers, who could also improvise other harmonies and counterpoints as the song developed. By which I mean, it's the kind of song you sing a bunch of times, till it becomes part of you, before you ever think of recording it with your band.
Originally, I'd envisioned it as having a flute solo in the middle, with drums and bass, and minimal guitar–backing it. However, I eventually started to think maybe it'd be better just as some kind of a cappella song with only a bass like, and maybe a shekere (I had–and might still have–one back in Canada), a large Korean hand-cymbal, and maybe a Tibetan meditation bowl that could start to ring out somewhere in the middle of the song. (I picked one up in India, and still have it.)
Well, maybe I'll manage to record a version of it someday, just with voices and an upright bass, if I can get my hands on one. I prefer not to just overdub my own voice multiple times, though: that never sounds really right for this kind of thing. You need the density and richness that multiple different voices singing together creates. And I feel like it needs to be people who've sung the song together a bunch of times. Ah well… someday. Or maybe not. We'll see.
Oh, one more thing: while I had seen the film "Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?" prior to leaving Canada for Korea–it played on Showcase late one night–I think it was probably Kevin Kim who got me back to thinking about Dharma Daesa (as he is called in Korea), and almost certainly this image of Kevin's helped inspire the song:
I used to have the T-shirt featuring this line drawing, but the shirt, like so many things from that time, is long gone. I'm sure Bodhi-Dharma would smile and point out that it's better not to be attached to such things, as attachment leads to suffering. Still, I can't help but be happy that the blog post isn't long gone, and that the song is still around, if even in this ephemeral form.
Learned in the Studio
Recently I stumbled upon a track online that happens to be the first studio recording I ever made. It was a guest appearance on a folk-pop album titled Xylon I, by a local musician named Xylon Cozens, and I play soprano sax on a single track.
It's odd: there's basically nothing online about Xylon, or the album, even though it was recorded in 1995: I guess that says something about my own personal sense that the Internet caught on about that time: it did for me, but everyone was still on dialup, and it didn't seem apparent that the Internet and music would necessarily intersect in a meaningful way anytime soon.
(Man, were we in for a shock!)
Anyway, I won't make excuses: I didn't do a great job. A second take would have been nice, but if my chops had been what they should've, playing it right the first time through would've been trivial (even with studio nerves), and I seem to recall Xylon having big ensembles he had to save as much studio time for as possible.
Well, I remember being nervous, but I don't remember cacking on the end of the first run! (Still, the recording doesn't lie: much as I wanted to return a favor Xylon had done me a few years previous, I should have told him my chops weren't up to the task.) Here it is:
(I've also added it to the Music page on this site, here, including as much personnel information as I could scrounge out of my memories.)
It wouldn't be my last guest appearance, either. I also was asked sit in on one track for an album put out by a local musician in Jeonju named Daekwi Hwang. Daekwi was a nice guy, and very active in the local music scene in Jeonju, so I was of course happy to do it. I thought I'd ripped that CD when we left Korea, but it doesn't seem to be on any of my hard drives, so I suppose it'll have to wait till I have my CDs on hand, as well. I don't really remember what I played, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was also a soprano saxophone solo. But I can show you the album cover:
Daekwi's in the United States now, and the last video of him I saw, he was playing jazz… I think he teaches jazz now, actually:
He was always a nice guy, and I'm glad he's still playing… and it's cool to see him migrating to turf more familiar to me, on top of it!
Anyway, in honor of that little trip down memory lane, here are some things I've learned from time spent recording sax parts in recording studios:
- If you're out of practice, or your horn needs servicing, don't take the gig. (Or get the horn serviced… and practice, you lazy git.)
- If the food available near the studio sucked during the lunch break on the first day, it's going to suck everyday after… possibly worse, since the tech is likely to order from the best affordable place nearby on the first day. Pack a lunch or suck it up.
- If you care too much, your playing will suck because you're overly nervous. If you don't care at all, your playing will suck because it lacks conviction. You need to cultivate a certain balance of the two.
- Bring more extra reeds than you think you need. Also, a reed knife and sandpaper. And something to throw at the wall when all your reeds suck anyway.
- Don't leave your horn on a sofa when there's an animal around. ("Animal" includes a certain sort of drummer, and not just the Jim Henson kind!)
- If the guy working the audio board is a guitarist, there's always going to be an issue with the sax levels in the final mix.
- The guy working the audio board is always a guitarist.
- The lower the budget, the worse the climate control will be in the studio… and nobody but you will understand that a cold horn is a flat horn.
- If you're only given one take and your performance sucks and they shrug and say, "That's a wrap!" you don't need to worry. You'll either get cut, or hidden in the mix, or the album is going to have enough other issues that your part won't matter. The time to worry is when they ask you to play your part again… and again… and again… and again… and you're not sure what was wrong on the fifteenth take, because it sounded perfect to you.
- Figuring out what was wrong with that last take is about ten thousand times harder across a language barrier. (Even if the barrier is your fault.)
- Unless the whole band has recorded their parts, you need a click track. Even if they have, a click track might be useful (in certain genres).
- If you need a click track, insist on a click track. They have a click track somewhere on that board, I promise you. They might have to rummage around to find it, though, so bring a book to the studio.
- That last minute change to the song? It's like betting everything on red. It could pay off wonderfully… but it's probably going to ruin the whole damned thing instead.
- Don't take it took personally when someone cuts that perfect, beautiful backing line that took you hours to work out, because he decided he wanted more guitar instead. Guitarists are like that, and it's all our fault for letting them on stage at all.
- There's no law that says they can't attribute the sax part to a pseudonym.
One More Composition: "When She Dreams of Moonlight" (1994)
I've added another composition to my Music page: it's an underwhelming score, in fact a royal mess, but I figured it was worth notating in Musescore for the practice, as well as to capture the way I thought about music and composing in 1994, about halfway through my formal music studies. I suppose you could call it my attempt to compose "Third Stream" music: that is, music that combined jazz and classical approaches to create something new and alien to both sides of the divide.
Here's a copy of the score, though it's pretty useless without the tape (and still somewhat useless with the tape):
The score is an absolute mess. The piano notation sucks–I tried to clean it up but, not being a pianist, I don't even know how to situate the pedal and dynamics markings in relation to one another, and frankly, this is good enough given the quality of the piece. Were I interested in actually having this piece looked at or performed today, I'd take a very different approach to the notation, but I don't see the point now: I'm only trying to preserve this piece in a more readable format than the one it's been in, being carried around in boxes and plastic bags for decades. Therefore, with very few exceptions, I've simply gone with what I had on the page, as best I could input it using Musescore.
Here are some comments on the piece, for those interested…
Sopranoed! WX5ed! Fluted! But… Argh!
UPDATE (27 March 2014):
Hold on! Looks like my students were wrong, and there is one sax tech somewhere in Saigon. Problem is, I'll have to track him down myself: I went to the music shop my student mentioned to see if they had something that could remove the stuck swab, and they told me that, no, they can't, but there's a saxophone repairman in District 10 who can do it. They called him and he confirmed that he could.
The catch? They tried to tell me I couldn't go there myself, I had entrust the horn to their care. Which, I explained, was out of the question. I said that I would be happy to pay them, but I'd be coming along. But it's far, they told me, as if that would change my mind. I said I was not going to put my horn in someone else's hands whom I have never met, who I don't know, and hope he didn't screw up the horn. I will be in the room when he removes the swab, at the very least, because I don't want the octave pip damaged.
(There's a delicate little "pip" inside the neck; that's what the swab is caught on. If he tries to ram it out, that'll bork the horn seriously.)
It boiled down to the shop refusing to tell me who the repairman is because they don't want to lose future business from me. Which is stupid: I'm pretty sure I found the guy in ten minutes flat searching online, but now I'll also be determined to tell people not to go to the local shop where I asked first, because they're zero-sum-minded twits. They want a cut of the repair fee for nothing more than being a contact, which: if you can't repair the instrument, give me the name and contacts of the person who can. Don't act like it's top secret information: that's just not cool.
Which is why I won't be going back to Mozart Music in front of the Sky Garden apartments in Phu My Hung. If they'd just given me the information, I'd have had nice things to say. But trying to force me to pay them for something they can't even fix themselves? Meh.
By the way, the repair (and sax sales) shop I mentioned? In fact, I suspect it's this guy, going by a post I found on the local saxophonist board. So, you know, it's not like they had some deep, hidden, obscure secret information. Off to email the guy and see if I can work out a time when I can drop by, get my soprano looked after… and maybe recork my tenor neck, while I'm at it. (Maybe he'll even let me snake a leak light through my flute, while I'm there?) And he seems to have loads of saxes for sale (temptation!) as well as an array of mouthpieces… maybe I can find something interesting for my soprano there, who knows?
Okay, I officially have enough music gear to keep me busy for years to come… but I can't use all of it.
I managed to pick up my Selmer soprano saxophone, my Yamaha flute, and the Yamaha WX5 wind controller my friend Mark received for me in Seoul… and I also have on hand a bunch of tenor and soprano sax reeds my friend Joe picked up for me in the States, so I'm pretty much set in terms of new challenges.
Or so I thought. But there are a couple of hitches… Continue reading →

After a 2009 that saw the German sneaker specialists offer more collaborations than any other brand or store, Solebox has been relatively quiet this year. That's no longer the case as Berlin's own have joined up with adidas to create the best tag team in their part of the world since East and West Germany got back together. The Solebox x adidas 'Then and Now' pack includes two performance-oriented running shoes, one brand new and the other about two decades old. On the newborn side of things you've got the adidas adiZero Aegis 2 constructed in all mesh with a nice Chicago-style colorup, while the EQT Support celebrates 20 years of adidas Equipment kicks with a similar palette that uses more grey. Check out shots of both after the jump and expect these to hit retail next January. via SF

White Wedding Cake Icing
Baking By Cre8iveSue Updated 11 Jul 2011 , 12:52pm by LisaPeps
Does anyone have a white buttercream recipe that is not Wiltons recipe? I am doing a wedding cake this weekend and they are wanting a white buttercream icing even though I suggested a cream colored (because they are using a willlow tree figure topper). I have always used the Wilton white buttercream where you use crisco and butter flavoring. I've never cared for the flavor because to me it is like eating a mouth full of grease and leaves a nasty film in the mouth. Customers don't seem to mind because they are always saying how good it is. But I thought I would see if there was something else out there I could try. Any ideas would be great! Thank you
Alot of people use Indydeb's Buttercream with rave reviews.

Retirement is a huge adjustment in life, but surveys have shown that many Americans are entering that phase of life with a significant amount of debt.
While retirement planners usually focus on how much someone has saved for retirement, some aging experts worry more about how much debt retirees have accumulated
The Washington Post recently reported that consumers carrying mortgage debt into retirement amounts to a ticking time bomb, with the percentage of people carrying a mortgage into retirement rising from 22% in 2001 to 30% in 2011.
But data shows retirees are also burdened with other kinds of debt, in particular credit card debt. The National Council on Aging (NCOA) recently surveyed aging network professionals on their clients' debt, with 72 professionals taking part in the survey.
Medical debt is the biggest worry
According to the survey, these professionals most frequently encounter clients struggling with unmanageable medical, credit card, mortgage, and utility debt or missed payments. More than half said medical debt was the biggest impediment to financial security.
"Household borrowing in the United States has increased exponentially in the past few decades, while real compensation has remained stagnant, the report's authors wrote. "Senior households have been far from immune to this alarming trend."
Goverment statistics show that the share of senior households with any debt rose from 44.4% in 1989 to 61.3% in 2013.
Increasingly, senior households are carrying a lot more credit card debt than in the past. The NCOA report shows balances have risen since 1981. The median credit card balance in a household headed by someone age 60 or older hit $3,000 in 2007, at the start of the Great Recession.
Credit card debt
Credit card debt is now the second largest financial concern for seniors, right behind medical bills and just ahead of paying the utility bill.
According to New Retirement, people nearing retirement should make it a priority to pay off credit card debt before they stop working. It even suggests tapping into savings to pay off debt, the rationale being that the interest on the debt far outweighs anything the savings can earn.
Perhaps the fastest way to pay down credit card debt is to roll the high interest balance onto a card that offers a lengthy introductory period of 0% interest. We recently reviewed two cards – Citi Simplicity and Citi Diamond Preferred – that are good choices.

On every single page of a site I'm auditing, I constated an anormous amount of drupal_get_filename, with the use of xhprof, i detected the cause to be the call of "module_load_all_includes('views_slideshow.inc');" all the time. the drop of performance can be a dizen of seconds.
class views_slideshow_plugin_style_slideshow extends views_plugin_style_list {
// Set default options
function option_definition() {
$options = parent::option_definition();
// Load all include files from views slideshow addons.
Comment #2axel.rutz CreditAttribution: axel.rutz commented
confirming this.
have a slideshow with 6 slides and page load times are sometimes 15..30 seconds (only for slideshow)
Comment #3axel.rutz CreditAttribution: axel.rutz commented
verified that i don't suffer from the "module enabled but missing" issue mentioned in #1 / #1081266: Avoid re-scanning module directory when a filename or a module is missing
just wondered if this is about imagecache, in a way that images are resized too often when they in fact should already be in the cache.
but the files in my cache are weeks old so this seems not to be the case.
Comment #4snufkin CreditAttribution: snufkin commented
Just chipping in, I resolved this by including the files it needs by hand (checking which modules have the views_slideshow.inc) and wrapping it into a static check. Its a hack, but for now it worked.
Comment #5axel.rutz CreditAttribution: axel.rutz commented
@bastnic: cool you profiled it out!!
a bit of investigation shows this in fact comes from module_list().
here is a thread that, although being hard to read, might contain some ideas.
#222109: module_list() should be rewritten as 2 functions: module_list() and module_list_bootstrap()
Comment #6redndahead CreditAttribution: redndahead commented
Hmm I wonder if I should cache that call. Probably would help. Anybody want to take the time to wrap that in a cache?
Comment #7castawaybcn CreditAttribution: castawaybcn commented
Similar performance hit with 6.x. My coding skills are not good enough to provide a solution, but I am willing to test any patches if you want to.
Comment #8rymo CreditAttribution: rymo commented
I believe the proper way to fix this in 7.x is for the plugins to implement hook_hook_info(), which allows hooks placed in an include file to be auto-loaded by Drupal. Here's an example for views_slideshow_cycle:
function views_slideshow_cycle_hook_info() {
$hooks = array(
'views_slideshow_slideshow_info' => array(
'group' => 'views_slideshow',
'views_slideshow_option_definition' => array(
'group' => 'views_slideshow',
'views_slideshow_slideshow_type_form' => array(
'group' => 'views_slideshow',
'form_options_js' => array(
'group' => 'views_slideshow',
'views_slideshow_options_form_validate' => array(
'group' => 'views_slideshow',
return $hooks;
Having this code in the plugin allows us to remove all instances of
module_load_all_includes('views_slideshow.inc'), allows core caching take over, and eliminates hammering the filesystem on every page load.
Comment #9drewbolles CreditAttribution: drewbolles commented
I can confirm this is still a bug. We had a very slow performing site, and going over my error log that was an enormous amount of *module file*.views_slideshow.inc missing files. For every module, and sub module within, it was requesting this file. This is obviously requesting quite a few files that won't exist.
Is this being addressed? If I don't have any modules that extend view_slideshow, am I safe to comment this code out?
Comment #10snufkin CreditAttribution: snufkin commented
|» Needs review
I can confirm that the change in #8 indeed does get rid of all the is_file requests while the slideshow keeps functioning as is. Attaching two xhprof files for comparison. Its a basic site with only a handful of modules installed, but its clear that with the patch there is already 40 less is_file calls.
Rolling a patch as well, basically implementing #8.
Comment #11rymo CreditAttribution: rymo commented
Glad to hear it's working for you, snufkin. I believe we can actually remove all four references to
module_load_all_includes once this hook is in place; re-rolling a patch for your consideration. We've been running this way since May with no issues.
Has anyone tested this with plugins other than
Comment #12rymo CreditAttribution: rymo commented
I should say, patching views_slideshow in this way allows it to work only with those plugins which are also patched in a similar way as views_slideshow_cycle here -- each plugin will need its own hook_hook_info implementation. For that reason I imagine this won't be part of 3.x...
Comment #13redndahead CreditAttribution: redndahead commented
|Needs review
|» Needs work
I wouldn't feel comfortable having this in 3.x. It would be best if someone could wrap the original code in a cache call as suggested in #6. I haven't had a chance to look, but I believe views does the same thing as I do. It may be worth it to see how they accomplish this task.
Comment #14snufkin CreditAttribution: snufkin commented
The problem is that this is a call that discovers files and includes them. We could static cache this call, which would mean its only issued once during a pageload, but that is still one unnecessary scan of files. And we can't wrap this in permanent cache, since we do need the includes to happen. One hacky workaround would be to do a discovery (basically reimplementing the scan of files originating from module_load_all_includes() and cache that result.
The addition of hook_hook_info() does affect other plugins however, but are there so many modules that replace cycle? The only change those modules would have to do to stay compatible is to add the hook_hook_info() implementation. Having said that I understand the resistance towards adding it to 3.x, but please consider that this is a major performance issue and affects a ton of sites. Waiting with this relatively small improvement until 4.x comes out seems to be a bit of an overkill to me.
If that helps I'm happy to submit patches to those modules that aim to replace Views Slideshow: Cycle.
Do we have a roadmap for 4.x?
Comment #15snufkin CreditAttribution: snufkin commented
#11 you're right, i completely forgot there might be other calls to module_load_all_includes.
Comment #16redndahead CreditAttribution: redndahead commented
#14 You are right. I think doing a discovery and caching it is the best approach. The number of other modules is > 10 I believe. I would hate to have to make them do a change at this point.
Comment #17rymo CreditAttribution: rymo commented
Discovery and caching is what is already being done in core if you use the hooks given, so I'd hope this would be item #1 on a 4.x roadmap - make a clean break and let the main cache system do its thing.
Comment #18andypost CreditAttribution: andypost at Skilld commented
Comment #19rymo CreditAttribution: rymo commented
FWIW, I'm still applying patch #11 whenever I find this module still in use in production sites.
Comment #20NickWilde CreditAttribution: NickWilde commented

Although be nice to fix this, due to BC issues, wouldn't want to unless we did a 7.x-4.x series. That would be good in many ways but at this time not going to do so. If anyone has time/interest I would be happy to help with figuring out the codebase.

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
Any time tomorrow night would be good.
ok sounds good
I have a question, not sure if you would consider it a folow up to the previous problems I submited. which version of Visual Studio would you recomend for creating C++ Win forms like the 2 in these problems. I have the CD for both VS 2010 Pro and VS 2012 pro, but according to what I have been reading, MS no longer supports creating win forms in C++, using CLR in eather version. Any help would be appreaceated. BTW I intend to submit more C++ problems directly to you since you were so good wiht the last 2, in the next few days and maybe more.
Thank you, I intend to do exactly that. so you are saying that if I reinstall vs 2010 pro I should be able to build c++ win forms with CLR?
ok thanks, I should be submitting my next problem Sunday or Monday.
Do you know, is there a way I can submit a question to you without it being spashed all over the internet?

Hundreds of Chronicle readers pounded Newcastle's Quayside to raise cash for sick and disabled North East children.
More than 800 people turned out to take part in our Sunshine Run, with the proceeds going to our Sunshine Fund.
They ran, jogged and some walked the 5km route up and down Newcastle Quayside and back over the Millennium Bridge, finishing in Gateshead's Baltic Square.
Their efforts have raised a staggering #30,000 for the Sunshine Fund, which pays for equipment for sick and disabled youngsters that they would not be able to get from other sources.
Sunshine Fund manager Jo Harris said: "It was a fantastic event and I would like to say a big thank-you to everyone who took part.
"We have raised at least #30,000 which will make a massive difference to the lives of children in our region."
The run was started by Cramlington Paralympian Stephen Miller.
The event was sponsored by Northern Electric Distribution Ltd (NEDL) and Potts Printers, based at the Tyne Tunnel Industrial Estate in North Shields.
The winners were presented with their trophies by Sunshine Fund Chairman Martin Soloman and Chronicle Editor Paul Robertson.
Winner of the men's race was Rob Walker, and Denise Todd was first of the women.

There is a short but steep learning curve for the game, and whilst the tutorials have been improved a little there is still a lot that is left unexplained. Hopefully some of this information may prove useful. It may also be worth referring to my old post "The Secret World Hints and Tips", that I made when the game first launched, though some of the information therein is a little out of date.
So, lets get started with the first question I had when I started playing the game...
What server should I join?
In most cases it really doesn't matter. The Secret World uses a type of single-server technology that means you can group, talk to and trade with absolutely any other player in the game.
There are home dimensions, which are the instance servers you initially log into. If you join someone else's group you'll automatically be taken to their dimension to play with them. You can even join and fully interact with cabals on different dimensions.
There are three things that may have an impact on your choice.
- Roleplaying. Arcadia and Leviathan are designated as roleplay dimensions. They both have active RP communities and you can expect to meet a lot of roleplayers on them.
- Language. Drac is designated as the official French language dimension. Kobold is designated the official German language dimension.
- PvP. If you want to fight in the persistent Fusang PvP battleground you should be aware that it is the only zone in the game that is bound to your home dimension. So if you have friends you want to PvP with you should aim to start on the same dimension. Having said that the developers have stated they are looking at ways to change this so Fusang is cross-dimensional.
Character creation seems a little limited... anything I can do about that?
Character creation has actually improved a lot since launch. There is now a height/build slider and plenty more face and hair options. If you aren't happy with your initial choices there is a hairdresser in London and a plastic surgeon in New York you can visit.
The primary way of distinguishing your appearance in the game however is by your clothing. Clothing is not tied to your statistics, so you can wear pretty much what you like. Initial clothing choice is limited, but very soon you will have acquired enough Pax to spend at the Pangea clothes shop or at the tube station market in London. I was able to afford a decent outfit I liked after a couple of hours play.
You can also acquire clothing from quests, achievements, events and the real cash shop. There are so many options you should be able to dress your character how you like as make them look unique without any real difficulty.
Why are all the names I want already taken?
The games uses a type of single-server technology. That means that your unique identifier (i.e. your nickname) must be unique across all the dimensions. It must be different to every single other nickname in the game, which limits the choice a little! You'll just have to be imaginative!
What the hell is going on?
Good question! I've played through the entire storyline and I'm still not entirely sure! One of the great things about this game is it keeps you guessing, and you are never entirely sure who can be trusted. Characters don't just up and tell you their motivations, but you can discover them through quests, lore, items, computer entries, and in-game NPC conversations.
As an initial primer here is what you need to know. Earth is under attack from dark and mysterious forces. The earth spirit Gaia is defending itself by effectively creating superheroes. Gaia is sending out bees to merge with the spirits of the chosen and infuse them with anima, a kind of magical force. That's you.
Once infused with anima, the world beyond the normal world is opened up to you - the Secret World. You can see and hear things normal people can't. You become aware of the ancient secret societies that vie for power and control - the Templars, the Dragon, and the Illuminati.
There are other forces out there. The Council of Venice oversees disputes between the three societies, the Phoenicians are a fourth faction that are also members of the Council of Venice. There are many more you will come across as well.
I don't understand the quest system? Why can I only have one quest at a time?
The quest system is designed to be different to most other themepark MMOs. Most MMOs have quest hubs, where you will pick up all the quests, then head out to complete them all before returning.
In TSW you can only take one of each type of quest (Story, Dungeon, Action, Investigation, and
Sabotage) at a time (as well as up to 3 side quests). The idea is you take one quest and concentrate on that. It will lead you around the zone, and when the quest finishes you will not need to return to the quest-giver, just file a report with your faction superiors. Instead there will be a new quest nearby, usually within around 50 feet.
This means you follow a breadcrumb trail of quests around the zone, which has the effect of showing you all of the important zone locations, and also splits up the player population into different areas so everyone isn't following the same route and stepping on each others toes.
What's with all these yellow honeycomb lore objects?
That's the bees speaking to you and telling you some background on the area you are in. It could be about a faction, a place, an item, or something else entirely. Collecting all types of lore in a given section can earn you achievement rewards.
It's worth reading the lore. Not only is it very well written, it gives a great insight into the game's story. I also know of at least two occasions where the solution to a quest problem was written in the lore I had collected.
Can I specialise in just one weapon?
You can, but you really shouldn't. You should ideally get a second weapon as soon as possible (either by going back into the training room, buying one from the Council of Venice vendors in Kingsmouth, or doing a quest that rewards one).
A second weapon opens up one of the joys of the ability wheel system - synergy effects. Some weapons synergise with others, vastly improving your combat effectiveness. When you get familiar with the system you can even use bridging passives to synergise weapons that don't have any basic synergies.
At the very least a second weapon will add a second finishing move to your rotation, improving your damage output significantly.
How does fast travel work? Can I run any faster?
There are a few ways of getting around quickly. The main fast travel system is Agartha, a magical road of interconnected branches on the world tree that exists inside the Hollow Earth. Time and space bend in Agartha, meaning you can traverse the entire planet quickly. It's worth learning where the branches of Agartha lie, as you can speed your journeys up even more by leaping from one branch to another once you know what you are doing.
Getting around zones quickly is a little different. You can use the /reset command to kill yourself, and then pick any of the anima wells you have visited to respawn at. Whilst this can move you from one side of a zone to the other almost instantly it comes with a cost, as each time you die your items become damaged and the repair costs at end game are not cheap!
Finally you can sprint (the default key for sprint is "X"). You will need to reactivate your sprint after every zone or combat. You can purchase upgraded sprint speeds (via anima boosts) in one of two ways.
- Through in-game PAX at your faction headquaters. You must have reached a certain faction rank to be eligible to purchase each upgrade.
- Through real money via the in-game store.
There are currently three upgrades you can purchase, the best of which gives you a 100% sprint speed boost.
Are there any community conventions I need to know about?
Plenty, but discovering them is one of the fun things about starting a new MMO. The TSW community is for the most part incredibly helpful and welcoming. The one piece of advice I would give to start is not to reveal quest spoilers in general chat, it is really frowned upon.
What on earth is Pax Romana?
Pax Romana is Latin for "Roman Peace". It is the in-game currency, sanctioned by the Council of Venice.
Why is there no falling damage in the game?
You're a superhero! The anima infusion from the bees means you can fall a very long way without it hurting.
The developers have stated that this is actually a design decision as it encourages exploration. It also offers you some quick ways around some of the later zones.
I heard something about reticle targeting. How do I activate it?
Press "T". This changes the targeting system in the game so that it plays more like a 3rd-person shooter. You get a crosshair that moves with your mouse, and whatever you point the crosshair at becomes your target.
Reticle targeting works best with ranged weapons.
Why don't I ever run out of bullets?
You aren't firing bullets. You are firing bolts of anima and using the weapon as your focus.
Actually, there is no real explanation. It's just a gameplay decision not to bog the firearms-based player down with ammo management.
What weapons and builds are best for tanking/healing/dps?
Generally the following applies:
- Tanking: Blade, Hammer, Chaos Magic
- Healing: Assault Rifle, Fist Weapons, Blood Magic
- DPS/Support: Elemental Magic, Pistols, Shotgun
It's not quite as clear cut as that though, and you will initially need to concentrate on survivability rather than fulfilling a specific role unless you have a regular group. The great thing about the ability system is that you will eventually be able to fulfil all of the main roles and plenty of others too.
I want to start PvP as soon as I can... how do I go about it?
Press "P" to open up the PvP map. You can queue to join any of the PvP battlegrounds as soon as you have reached Kingsmouth. However, you will die quickly and a lot until you have boosted your hit points via equipment. Expect to get one-shoted if you have below 4000 hit points.
My inventory is full of junk, what do I do with it?
You can sell it of course. Alternatively you can destroy it (drag it out of your bag and drop it into the world).
Unless you really need the cash however I would recommend disassembling it. Most items can be disassembled into their component parts. These components can then be combined to create even more powerful items.
This crafting guide explains it all in detail.
I hope all that has cleared a few of the more confusing aspects up for some of you. If you're still stuck and need any advice or help don't hesitate to drop me a /tell in game. My character is called "Vinculus" and I'm around most evenings UK time.

The property had changed owners and names since I had last been in the area. They had redecorated the lobby and some of the rooms too. The place was clean and overall quiet. The bed was extremely comfortable. There is a Starbucks next door to the motel. It isn't really priced like a budget property and I think they are high for the location and they type of motel it is. They do serve a breakfast in the lobby with some cereals, juice drinks, coffee, tea and a waffle maker. I would stay here again if I found myself in the general area without another affordable alternative.
I didn't find the staff to be very helpful or pleasant. They made many mistakes with our room and the charges and it was difficult to get the errors worked out. Their attitude was a problem for us. I would give them a poor rating in the service area.

By Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY
PHILADELPHIA A TV crew was camped outside the Philadelphia Phillies' clubhouse Thursday for hours simply waiting to film Cliff Lee's arrival, and he received two standing ovations from the sellout crowd before throwing his first pitch.
When his day was complete Thursday, culminating with a 3-1 Phillies' victory over the Colorado Rockies in his home debut at Citizens Bank Ballpark, there were scorecards to be signed, jerseys to be autographed and questions to be answered by the horde of media.
GAME REPORT: Phillies 3, Rockies 1
ROTATION: Happ staying put
The way Lee is dominating the National League these days, all that remains may be asking for his ring size, with the Phillies (61-45) running away from the pack in the NL East.
Lee gave up two hits and a first-inning run to the Rockies, and then toyed with them the rest of the afternoon. Lee, 2-0, 1.13 ERA, gave up six hits and one run in seven innings, permitting just two baserunners to advance past first base.
"He works fast, showers fast, dresses fast, what more could you want?" says Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who continued his own tear with his 12-game hitting streak, going three for four with a double and triple. "He has been impressive."
Lee, acquired last week by the Phillies from the Cleveland Indians, has absolutely dominated the National League. He has given up just 10 hits and three walks to the 60 batters he has faced, permitting only four baserunners to reach scoring position.
"They are going to get some hits off him, and some runs," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel says, "every now and then."
Then again, the solar eclipse appears every now and then, too.
"It is definitely different," Lee says. "Facing the pitcher and the bottom part of the lineup is a little different over here [in the National League] compared to over there [the AL]."
Lee certainly is discovering just why CC Sabathia, his former Indians' teammate, loved the National League last year after being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. Sabathia went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA and parlayed it into an seven-year, $161 million contract with the New York Yankees.
"He went over there and it was basically a joke what he did," said Lee, eligible for free agency after the 2010 season. "I can only hope to come close to the success he had last year."
Lee, who has won five consecutive starts with a 1.32 ERA, also tied his season-high with nine strikeouts. The Rockies' only threat after the first inning came in the fifth with two on and Todd Helton at the plate, up. He tied Helton with an inside cutter, inducing an inning-ending groundout to Rollins. The Rockies never reached second base the rest of the game.
"Today, his stuff was exceptional to both sides of the plate," Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. "He didn't miss many spots at all."
Phillies catcher Paul Bako, who provided Lee a 2-1, fifth-inning lead with his first home run in 223 plate-appearances, said Lee was even more impressive than his Phillies debut against San Francisco — a four-hit complete game.
"He didn't have the same command of his cutter or fastball," Bako said, "so he threw a lot of two-seamers and changeups away. That was impressive. It shows you just how complete a pitcher he is."
Lee, 14-2 with a career 2.97 ERA against the National League, says he now can relax. He got his first victory with the Phillies, and now got the anxiety of pitching in front of the hometown crowd for the first time.
"The first few times with a new team, you're going to try to prove your worth," Lee says, "and prove who you are and what you do."
Said Bako: "I think it's safe to say he's done that."

Halo 4 Xbox 360 Limited Edition console pictures and hands on1/16 Pocket-lint
We've all been getting rather excited about Halo 4's imminent launch. Ahead of time, the limited-edition Halo 4 XBox 360 console has been beamed into Pocket-lint HQ for us to have a play with.
Designed by the Halo team, this limited-edition version of the Xbox 360 console is only a set of warp drives short of looking like a miniature Spirit of Fire mothership.
READ: Halo 4 preview
The grey-blue plastic exterior is transparent to reveal the console's metallic interior, while futuristic silver patterns circle the console's on button.
The loading tray and on button are also surrounded by bright blue patterns, reminiscent of the swirling shapes of an energy sword.
To the bottom side - or top rear, depending on which way up you like to keep the console standing - is the Halo 4 logo, also in silver.
The controllers - two of which are included in the box - have a similar finish and with two AA batteries popped into their rears have flashing blue Xbox "home" buttons. However, unlike the Star Wars limited-edition console's controller which made R2D2 sounds, the Halo 4 controllers are silent.

The console itself, however, makes Halo 4 sounds when it's switched on or when ejecting a disc. Which sounds? We have no idea, as we've only been able to get hold of a Japanese version and, unfortunately, can't wire up this console to UK mains. This also means we weren't able to see "the blue ring" - don't worry, it's nothing like the red ring of death - that lights up when the console is switched on. We know, we know, we cried tears of despair too.
The final boxed version will also include a standard edition of Halo 4 and a standard black headset for online chit-chat while you shoot those virtual foes over the wire.
So there we have it, Halo fans. Get your orders in early, because we reckon this £270 limited-edition set will be a big Xmas seller.
