Ready for Les Miserables' theatrical release? We're just one week away (Christmas Day!), and in anticipation one of our favorite songs from the musical is now online.
"One Day More" features characters Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), Javert (Russell Crowe), Cosette (Amanda Seyfried), Marius (Eddie Redmayne), Thenardier (Sacha Baron Cohen), Madame Thenardier (Helena Bonham Carter), and Eoponine (Samantha Barks) singing towards the end of the film in different locations but as one. The song takes place at an important juncture of the film, right before the epic climax.
"Do you hear the people sing?"
As good fans know, each actor and actress in the film sung every take 100% live while filming. There was no pre-recorded music, and the cast would often change up how they delivered each song with every take. Eddie Redmayne, who plays Marius, provided more context. "Normally if you were making an old school movie musical as a group of actors we'd go into a studio, record an album, and then two months later we'd arrive on set and we'd play the playback and we would mime along side. The problem with that is that you need to make your acting choices three months before you've even met the actor you're working with." For more, watch this behind the scenes look.
Les Miserables open December 25. We've seen the film and you can read our Les Miserables review here.
Hypable has been extensively covering the highly anticipated musical over the past few months. See four featurettes offering behind the scenes looks, five clips, and some gorgeous posters.
Thanks to Mairead for the tip.

Asda claims progress as it stems rate of sales decline thanks to targeted price cuts
Asda has claimed its targeted price cuts are helping lure shoppers back through its doors, after several years in the doldrums.
Like-for-like sales - which compare stores open for more than a year - fell 2.8pc in the 13 weeks to April 28, marking an 11th consecutive quarter of declines at the UK's third biggest grocer.
However this was a marginal improvement on the 2.9pc slide in the previous quarter, and on the 5.8pc tumble it recorded in the three months before that.
Total sales rose 0.9pc, but operating income declined, although Asda's parent company, US retail giant Wal-Mart declined to give further detail.
Wal-Mart said Asda was "beginning to see improved customer traffic numbers and basket...

Nothing falls downmore easily than an Italian soccer player--with the possible exception of anItalian soccer player's pants. What is it with the World Cup champions'eagerness to drop trou? Last summer five greased-up members of the Azzurri sethearts aflutter (and left little to the imagination) by appearing in Dolce& Gabbana underwear ads on signboards across Germany. Now, seven monthslater, their most notorious teammate is spontaneously stripping into his blackD&Gs before a stunned audience in a stylish Milan studio. It's hard not tostare.
Then again, he wants you to. "See, it's the World Cup trophy!" saysMarco Materazzi, pointing to the eight-inch-long tattoo on his left thigh, oneof the two dozen (and counting) that decorate much of his chiseled 6'4"frame. "I got it three days after the final."
"I've got onetoo!" adds his wife of 13 years, Daniela, rolling up her right sleeve toreveal a mini-Cup, to say nothing of her own array of body art.
Their two-year-olddaughter, Anna, giggles nearby. Last July her daddy played a central role inthe iconic sports moment of the young century: the thunderous head butt hereceived in the chest after orally provoking French superstar Zinédine Zidaneduring the waning minutes of the World Cup final. A global cottage industry hasgrown around the Head Butt Seen Round the World--chart-topping pop songs,best-selling books, a blizzard of digitally altered YouTube clips--and ifhistory repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce, the man they callthe Matrix would rather embrace the farce.
Cross DennisRodman with Roberto Benigni, and you'd get something resembling 33-year-oldMarco Materazzi. Like Rodman, he's a tattoo-covered hardman whose flamboyant(some say dirty) antics have often overshadowed his surpassing skills. This isthe same player who scored a goal and converted a penalty kick in the World Cupfinal ... but also committed a penalty and instigated the Head Butt. And whoset a Serie A record for goals by a defender (12, with Perugia in 2000--01) ...but later drew one of the longest misconduct suspensions in Italian history.And who recently scored on a bicycle-kick goal ... only to garner moreattention for absorbing another head butt, from Sampdoria's GennaroDelvecchio.
Yet like Benigni,the Oscar-winning Italian comic actor (Life Is Beautiful), Materazzi has alsotried to mine humor from misfortune. Last fall he put out a book for charity,What I Really Said to Zidane, listing 249 possible provocations. (Sample:"French philosophy hasn't been the same since Foucault died.")Materazzi also filmed an ad for Nike spoofing the Head Butt in which hesubjected his barrel chest to an onrushing linebacker, a police battering ramand a speeding monster truck. Lately, the Materazzi laugh track has given riseto a new chant across Italian stadiums: Tutti pazzi per Materazzi! (All madabout Materazzi!)
Sometimes, though,he can't hide his frustration--not to mention his fear--over the lack ofclosure to the Zidane episode. Among Materazzi's manifold tattoos is an Italiansaying that begins on the back of his left arm and ends on his right: IF YOUCAN SOLVE A PROBLEM, WHY WORRY? AND IF YOUR PROBLEM CAN'T BE RESOLVED, WHAT'STHE USE OF WORRYING ANYWAY? But what if the resolution to his most publicproblem remains elusive? What if Zidane never accepts his invitation to meet inperson, exchange apologies and finally lay their feud to rest?
Eight months afterthat fateful night in Berlin, the Matrix can't shake his sense that historywill remember the Head Butt more than any other event of last year's World Cup."The United Nations wanted to take separate pictures of us and then bringthem together, but I'd be even happier to do it for real," Materazzi saysthrough a translator. "I've apologized to those I have offended. I think[Zidane] should also apologize for what was done, and for what I have gonethrough as well. If we were to do it through the U.N., everyone would see it.I'm more than willing to do this as a real act of communication for the worldand for peace."
Zidane's response?"It's in the past," he told French television's Canal Plus last fall."Things happened the way they happened. We have to live with it."
Perhaps.Materazzi, however, has one big advantage. While Zizou has retired, the Matrixis still out on the field--and thriving.
The scene at the Stadio Domenica in Verona on a gray mid-February afternoon isa microcosm of Italian soccer. Nine days after a carabiniere died from anexplosive device during a riot outside a stadium in Sicily, the government hasreluctantly allowed Serie A to resume play while enacting strict securitymeasures that will force many matches to be played behind closed doors untilstadiums are brought up to code. "Very, very sad," Materazzi says,shaking his head. "Without the fans, no sport is possible."
Has any nationever had a more bizarre 12-month stretch of soccer? On the one hand the Azzurriwon their fourth World Cup last July, and Materazzi's Inter Milan hasestablished itself as one of the world's top clubs, reeling off a record 18straight wins in Serie A. On the other hand the Italian league has been laidlow not only by the tragedy in Sicily but also by a corruption scandal lastyear that resulted in, among other penalties, the relegation of Juventus to thesecond division. When Spain's Valencia knocked out Inter in the UEFA ChampionsLeague round of 16 on March 6, it seemed like business as usual when theNerazzurri engaged the victors in an ugly hissy-fit brawl after the finalwhistle.
The only surprisewas that Materazzi wasn't one of the central figures. Just two years agoItalian columnists were labeling Materazzi an "animal" and a"delinquent" for his thuggish on-field acts: a wild studs-up challengeon then AC Milan star Andriy Shevchenko in 2003; a punch to the face of Siena'sBruno Cirillo in 2004 that drew Materazzi a two-month suspension. These days,though, those misdeeds are largely forgotten. Call it the Matrix revolution."In the past he was seen as a bad guy," says Daniela, with whom he hastwo sons (Gianmarco, 10, and Davide, 6) and Anna. "People asked me, 'Doeshe hit you at home?' But after the World Cup, Marco became an idol. Now theysay, 'You're lucky, you have the ideal man.' But I was lucky to have Marcobefore, and nobody appreciated that."
Including, attimes, Marco's father, Giuseppe, the coach of Rome powerhouse Lazio. It wasGiuseppe who advised the teenaged Marco to give up soccer and try basketball,the sport of Michael Jordan, who sparked Marco's fascination with the number23--Materazzi's jersey number as well as the date on which he was married. Andit was Giuseppe who cross-examined the young couple when Marco, afterabandoning hoops, was mired in the third division at age 21: How do you thinkyou'll live on the money he'll make playing soccer? Says Daniela, "Nobodybelieved in him as a soccer player except for me."
Like Rodman,Materazzi was a late bloomer, reaching Serie A at age 24 and making his firstnational-team appearance at 27. He attributes his fortitude to having to copewith his mother's death from breast cancer when she was 39. Materazzi cherisheshis memories of Anna, who would drive her three sons as far as 300 miles fromtheir home in Bari every weekend so they could see their father play during hispro career. "She died 11 days after my 15th birthday," says Materazzi."It's never easy to lose your mother at 15. You have to become a manquickly."
Materazzi's mostarresting tats are on his back, where a giant pair of angel's wings surroundshis name and those of his wife and daughter. "I made a promise," hesays. "If I was to have a baby girl, I would call her the name of mymother, and I would have tattooed wings of protection, as if the shadow of mymother were there to protect us."
Based on his ownexperience, Materazzi maintains, there's no way he could have insulted Zidane'smother--as Zidane insists he did. "Everyone's got a mother, and you neverknow what her destiny has been," Materazzi says. "You could beattacking the heart of a person, and that's too much." Ultimately, anylingering resentment he harbors from last July isn't toward Zidane. "Whathurt me the most was the media, especially the British," he says. "Theyoffended my image by saying things that [Zidane] then said were not true. Ididn't deserve that."
For all thebenefits of winning the World Cup--becoming an Italian cult hero, meetingJordan, taking the microphone at a Rolling Stones concert ("I'm as crazy asKeith Richards!")--there were significant drawbacks for Materazzi. Like,say, joining the growing list of public figures who've been targeted by Islamicextremists.
Several anonymousletters, written in French, began arriving last summer at the training groundof Inter Milan. "They were saying they wanted to see me so they could killme," says Materazzi, almost whispering, as if he doesn't want the words toreach Anna, who's kicking a soccer ball nearby. "I reported the threats tothe police because they were related to religious issues"--his erroneouslyreported anti-Muslim insults to Zidane. "One of my [French] teammates,Olivier Dacourt, got worried."
And you didn't?"I laughed it off. I don't believe there are people who can be that evil inlife, really."
In the storm ofpost--World Cup media coverage, even reputable publications were quick toallege what Materazzi said. The Times of London hired an "expert lipreader" who concluded that he had called Zidane "the son of a terroristwhore." Meanwhile, The New York Times quoted Zidane's relatives speculatingthat Materazzi had called Zidane a "terrorist" or a "son ofHarkis," an insult to a Frenchman of Algerian descent.
The reality,Materazzi now maintains, had nothing to do with Franco-Algerian relations."I was pulling his jersey because I was afraid he'd score a goal onme," Materazzi says. "But when he looked at me, I found hate in hiseyes. He looked me down from my head to my feet and said, 'O.K., the jersey isyours, and I'll give it to you at the end of the match.' All I said was, 'I'dprefer your sister.'"
Although Zidaneconfirmed to FIFA investigators that the insult wasn't connected to race orreligion, the media damage had been done. "I was scared," says Daniela."The [British tabloid] press quoted Zidane's mother saying she wanted[Marco's] balls on a platter. We have a lot of Muslim friends, and they told usto be careful because this can be an instigation." She held her breath whenInter visited Bahrain for a game in January. "Every time I touched theball, the whole stadium was whistling and booing me," Materazzi recalls."They were obviously influenced by what I had not said."
With unbeatenInter rolling toward the Serie A Scudetto, Materazzi wants to move forward. Andif Zidane were to walk into the room? "I would hold out my hand,"Materazzi says. "In life you should never have enemies. He was my enemy inone sports struggle, but that's it. Let's meet and take pictures. He can evenbring me his jersey."
He shrugs again.Smiles. If Zizou and the Matrix could finally make up, wouldn't life bebeautiful?
Catch up with the stars from last summer's World Cup.
Before the Cup, says Daniela, "People asked me,'Does he hit you at home?' Now they say, 'You're lucky, you have THE IDEALMAN.'"
Materazzi has turned the ill-tempered shot from Zidane (inset) into a laughingmatter.
Materazzi's rugged and acrobatic D helped Inter roll off a record 17 straightwins.
After the epic win in Berlin, Marco and Daniela flew home with theirbrood.

What is Sprinkler Irrigation?
Sprinkler irrigation can either represent a lateral move system or a center pivot system. Water distribution efficiencies are typically greater than flood irrigation, and water is sprinkled on the crop from above.
The biggest disadvantage of sprinkler irrigation is that the entire plant gets wet. This creates a favorable environment for deleterious insects and disease. Sprinkler irrigation also loses a significant amount of water to evaporation during the growing season. Wind also effects a uniform application.
Again, as with flood irrigation, it takes a long time to move through all the sets or travel the full circle right after harvest when it is most critical to push growth. This makes for an extremely uneven harvest for each cut.

Legal marijuana could help offset US opioid crisis: Study
New York, April 3 (IANS) Researchers have proposed that legalising marijuana for medicinal use could help offset the US' opioid epidemic, according to two studies.
The studies, published on Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, compared opioid prescription patterns in states that have enacted medical cannabis laws with those that have not, reports CNN.
One study looked at opioid prescriptions between 2010 and 2015, while the other looked at opioid prescriptions between 2011 and 2016.
The researchers found that states that allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes had 2.21 million fewer daily doses of opioids prescribed per year, compared with those states without medical cannabis laws.
Opioid prescriptions also dropped by 5.88 per cent in states with medical cannabis laws compared with states without such laws, according to the studies.
"This study adds one more brick in the wall in the argument that cannabis clearly has medical applications," said David Bradford, professor of public administration and policy at the University of Georgia.
"And for pain patients in particular, our work adds to the argument that cannabis can be effective."
The new research comes as the US remains entangled in the worst opioid epidemic the world has ever seen, CNN reported.
Opioid overdose has risen dramatically over the past 15 years and has been implicated in over 500,000 deaths since 2000 — more than the number of Americans killed in World War II.
More than 90 Americans a day die from opioid overdose currently, resulting in more than 42,000 deaths per year, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Opioid overdose recently overtook vehicular accidents and shooting deaths as the most common cause of accidental death in the United States, the Centre added.

ASX 200 lunch time report: Afterpay, BHP, & Wesfarmers higher
The S&P/ASX 200 index has given back some of its morning gains but is still trading higher at lunch. At the time of writing the index is up over 0.2% to 6,562.1 points.
Here's what has been happening on the market today:
Afterpay raises $317.2 million.
The Afterpay Touch Group Ltd (ASX: APT) share price has returned to trade and raced 6% higher after successfully raising $317.2 million via its fully underwritten institutional placement. The payments company advised that the placement was strongly supported by both existing and new shareholders. The strong demand led to the funds being raised at $23.00 per share, which was at the top end of the placement price range and a discount of just 4.8% to the last close price.
Wesfarmers announces its latest catch.
The Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) share price has pushed higher after announcing an agreement to acquire online retailer Catch Group for $230 million. Wesfarmers managing director, Rob Scott, believes the acquisition is consistent with the company's disciplined approach to capital allocation. He also feels it "represents an opportunity to accelerate Wesfarmers and Kmart Group's digital and e-commerce capabilities whilst continuing to invest in the unique customer and supplier proposition provided by Catch Group."
Bank shares run out of steam.
Australia's big four banks look to have run out of steam after a strong share price rally over the last few trading sessions. At lunch all four banks are trading lower. The worst performer in the group has been the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ) share price with a decline of 0.8%.
Miners charge higher.
It certainly has been a positive day of trade for Australia's biggest miners. At lunch both the BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) share price and the Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) share price are trading notably higher after iron ore prices continued their ascent. BHP's shares are up 3% and Fortescue's shares are up 4.5%.
Best and worst performers.
The best performer on the ASX 200 index at lunch is the Emeco Holdings Limited (ASX: EHL) share price with a 14% gain to $1.88. The equipment leasing company's shares raced higher after advising that it expects FY 2019 operating EBITDA to be up almost 40% year on year. Going the other way is the Mayne Pharma Group Ltd (ASX: MYX) share price which has fallen over 3.5%. The pharmaceutical company's shares have been hammered in recent weeks after reporting weakness in its key Generics business.
The war on cash has arrived.
The $700 billion "war on cash" is on and even The New York Times is calling it "a goldmine of staggering proportions"…That's why The Motley Fool has just released a brand-new research report: "Leave Your Wallet at Home: 2 Stocks for the Digital Payments Revolution."

Edge Weekly
Undervalued, underfollowed ACE stocks to keep an eye on
SOME of today's fastest-growing companies started out very small, with their shares listed on the ACE Market. As their businesses grew in size, the wealth of their shareholders grew along with them.
Take Inari Amertron Bhd, for example. After doubling its net profit in FY2013 and FY2014, the electronics manufacturing services provider "graduated" from the ACE Market to the Main Market in 2014. Investors who saw the company's growth potential during the early stages would have made massive gains as the stock jumped a staggering 15-fold from 24 sen to RM3.64 from 2013 to 2015.
The segment is highly fragmented and inadequately covered by analysts, resulting in inefficient markets. This opens up opportunities for experienced investors to generate alpha, or excess returns on a risk-adjusted basis, through active stock selection.
Based on historical fundamental data compiled by The Edge, 10 stocks show growth potential or offer attractive yields (see table). During the process of narrowing down our list, companies that posted any losses in the past three years were eliminated to reduce the downside risk.
Save for YTL e-Solutions Bhd, which is more of a yield play, all companies on our list have demonstrated positive revenue and earnings growth, at least in the past three years. Each also possesses a strong balance sheet, with eight out of the 10 in a net cash position and the rest with net gearing ratios of less than 10%.
The list is ranked by earnings risk, namely the consistency of earnings growth in the past 10 years. For instance, the top stock — OpenSys (M) Bhd — has achieved double-digit compound annual growth rates in earnings since 2005 without posting any annual losses. They tend to pay steady dividends with little need for a cash call.
Earnings growth aside, corporate exercises could be another share price catalyst. The growing net profit enables companies to capitalise their earnings reserve and carry out a bonus issue to improve trading liquidity and public visibility.
As many of them have met or are about to meet the profit requirement, perhaps a more significant catalyst would be the transfer to the Main Market, which would raise investor confidence and render the companies more accessible to more institutional investors.
(1) OpenSys (M) Bhd
OpenSys, which provides cash and non-cash payment solutions such as bill payment kiosks and cheque processing services, is a beneficiary of the ongoing efficient self-service trend in the banking sector. In 2001, the company pioneered the design and development of non-cash efficient service machines (ESMs) that are installed at bank branches.
In recent years, it has partnered Japan's Oki Electric to supply cash recycling machines (CRMs) that are more cost efficient — they provide both cash dispensing and cash deposit functions. Moving forward, OpenSys sees huge market expansion opportunities in the local ATM market as the penetration rate of CRMs currently stands at a mere 4%.
After securing orders worth RM20 million for CRMs in 2014, the company saw its revenue for FY2015 soar 61% year on year to RM72.5 million and net profit expand 32% to RM7.4 million, even though its margins were hit by higher import costs arising from the weaker ringgit last year.
Thanks to its earnings growth, the stock currently trades at a trailing price-earnings ratio (PER) of 10 times, down from 15 times a year ago. It has consistently paid dividend of one sen in the past five years, giving a yield of 3.3%.

Neo-Nazi Trump Supporters Are Going After YA Books Now

Comments off
Author Laura Silverman wrote a YA novel, Girl Out of Water, that's slated for publication in May 2017. The book hasn't fully made its way through the editorial process, and review copies have not been sent out.
Nonetheless, one day last week, Silverman heard from a fellow author that Girl Out of Water had been besieged with one-star ratings and reviews on Goodreads, a popular site where readers keep track of the books they're reading.
"There's zero chance those reviews could have been legitimate," she told The Huffington Post in a phone conversation. Not only is the book read more >>>

LOS ANGELES—Still a relative newcomer in adult, Rikki Braun is already showing a predilection for beautiful bustlines. The young director—representing the third generation in the Braun family porn dynasty—so far has turned his lens on Super Naturals and Gazongas for Wicked Pictures, and now he's returned to the latter series for a second installment.
The 26-year-old son of porn maestro Axel Braun is proving once again that the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Gazongas 2, an ode to eye-popping cleavage. The Wicked Pictures release showcases five women gifted with voluptuous bustlines, both natural and optimized. The cast includes fast-rising starlet Autumn Falls, 2019 AVN Best New Starlet nominee Ella Knox, newcomer Jessica Jade, British import Katy Jayne, and Reagan Foxx—who co-starred in Wicked's AVN Award-winning The Possession of Mrs. Hyde, co-written by all three Brauns.
According to a Wicked release, "Gazongas 2 contains palpable urgency in every scene. From a high-energy opening sequence pairing Autumn with Seth Gamble (star of Deadpool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody) to Reagan's climactic seduction of Brad Knight, each sequence is photographed, edited and scored for maximum impact. Alex Legend, Tyler Nixon and Ramon Nomar complete Braun's carefully chosen male cast."
Shot and edited in widescreen 16×9 HD, the DVD includes three bonus scenes, giving the DVD a running time of nearly three hours. Also included are a hardcore still gallery, trailers and other XXX content exclusive to the movie's physical release.
Click here for a look at the movie's safe-for-work trailer.
Gazongas 2 is now in stores and streaming online. To learn more, visit Wicked.com.

Scrum Project Release Goals
Each release plan has an overall business goal associated with it, called a release goal. This goal is created by the product owner, and ties in directly to the product end goal, which is the product's vision statement. The release goal establishes the mid‐term boundary around specific functionality that will be released to customers to use in the real world.
Having an explicit release goal expedites the prioritization process: If a requirement doesn't align with the goal, you don't have to worry about that requirement in this release. Any given requirement should earn the right of your investment. Leave it tucked away in the product backlog until it can support a priority goal.
Think of the three layers of goal setting as a prioritization filter system. The vision statement is the highest boundary. If a feature doesn't fit the overall vision, it isn't for this project. Don't even let that requirement on the product backlog. The requestor needs to go get funding for that idea separately — don't be a stowaway on my project.
Next comes the release goal. This is the mid-term boundary. If a requirement doesn't fit this goal, it stays in the product backlog. And finally, the shortest-term boundary is the sprint goal.
Goals drive the product backlog and the release plan, not the other way around. Every feature and requirement must be thought of in terms of "does it fit the goal." This is purpose driven development. Goals drive what makes the product backlog. Goals drive what gets included in a release. And goals drive what gets included in each sprint.

For the third time in forever, Disney is taking one of their animated features to Broadway. After Aladdin and the insanely popular production of The Lion King, Frozen is on track to hit the stage in 2018, with Alex Timbers as director. Plan accordingly.
After lots of rumors and speculation, Frozen finally has a production team and a target premiere date. The music of Frozen almost became more popular than the movie itself, and I can't remember a recent Disney movie that spawned anywhere close to as much singalong enthusiasm as there is around "Let it Go" alone, without even including the rest of Frozen's hits. Those songs are made to be belted, and now we're going to hear the very best belt them. We'll even get to hear some new classics written exclusively for the stage production.
Disney plans on having Frozen ready for a spring 2018 debut, which we think is a little disappointing. Not because of the 2018 part, though — we can wait, we're patient people. We just think it would be criminal if Frozen debuted in any season that's not winter. Come on guys, this is no-brainer stuff. If we don't have to tunnel through 10+ inches of snowfall to go see Frozen on stage, we're going to feel like we're missing part of the experience. Surely the cold doesn't bother Broadway that much?

About your host
I´m passionate about food, I like to know about their properties and their stories. For this reason I studied Chemistry in food (I´m a chocolate master) and, for a long time, I worked linked to productions in factories. That is, I know the productive processes; however, what really fascinates me is the hide story that each of them: how they came to our country and how they were determining our…
What we'll do
We will meet at Central Park because it is an easy place to locate. From there we will begin our journey through Obispo Street, which is full of stories and culinary traditions.

Where you'll be
Many times we go to places that seem good to us; but whose stories are extremely exciting and unknown. We all like chocolate or coffee, the truth is that they are Central American products that have a long tradition. Few people know that cocoa seeds worked like coins in the ancient Aztec Empire, nor that coffee needs to be sown in the coldest mountains of our country to reach its final flavor. My intention is to fill them with other meanings.

One of the top softball players ever to don an Eastern Oregon University uniform is set to take over the program.
Nicole Christian, a former two-time all-American for the Mountaineers, has been named head coach of the EOU softball program, according to a press release from the school Tuesday.
"Nicole has an unmatched love and passion for not only the game, but for Eastern Oregon University," EOU Athletic Director Anji Weissenfluh said in the press release. "She is eager to share her deep knowledge of the game to help the softball program reach new heights. Nicole's vision and core values as a coach are in line with the expectations of the athletic department and the university."
Christian, a 2000 graduate of EOU, played during the best stretch in the program's history. She was part of the teams that reached the NAIA Nationals final in both 1999 and 2000, including the squad that finished fourth in the nation in 1999 and won a program-record 41 games. Christian, who was named all-American both those years, still holds several single-season and career marks, including the top all-time marks for career hits (200), RBIs (137) and walks (83), according to the EOU website. She was inducted into the EOU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.
"I'm extremely excited to be returning to La Grande and Eastern Oregon University," Christian said in the press release. "I embrace the challenge of competing in one of the top conferences in the country. I am looking forward to working with student-athletes while building relationships that will last long past their playing days. I love the community support of Mountie Athletics, and I am looking forward to getting on campus and getting to work."
Christian has been coaching high school and college softball since graduating from EOU, including stints with La Grande and Umatilla high schools and Blue Mountain Community
Most recently, she has been the head coach at McLoughlin High School, where she led the program to unprecedented heights after taking over prior to the 2009 season. The Pioneers reached four consecutive state championships under Christian — its only title-game appearances in program history — winning it all in 2014 and 2015 and taking second in 2013 and 2016. It was a four-year stretch that saw Mac-Hi go 100-17, and a time during which it dominated the Greater Oregon League.
She takes over for Erin Dickhausen, who led the Mountaineers for two seasons. Eastern went 26-24 and reached the first round of the NAIA National Championships in 2018, but went just 13-32 in 2019 for its lowest win total since 2012.

Create Using the OSR Rules 'You Know" and Your Audience Will Find You
Over in The Tavern's Facebook Community, a discussion asking about the size of the Swords & Wizardry Community and whether it was a viable community to create for, slid in the direction of system preference (or more exactly in this case, system dislike)
Here's how I see it - all things being equal (size and activity of the various gaming communities, commitment of the publisher to support the material and the communities' support of the systems in question) write for the OSR system you know the best.
Not that surprising, it it?
Obviously for me that means writing my material for Swords & Wizardry Light and Complete. For +Pete Spahn that would likely be Labyrinth Lord. For +joseph browning it would likely be OSRIC. For +Chris Gonnerman it would be likely be Basic Fantasy RPG. +James Spahn S&W White Box or White Star. The list goes on.
The truth is, any DM worth their salt is going to convert adventures from one OSR system to the ruleset of their choice, with little difficulty and often on the fly, just was many of us used Basic and Expert adventures in AD&D back in the day and I do with DCC RPG Adventures to Swords & Wizardry today.
Some will say writing for the "hot" system of the day can help sales and I'm sure it did with White Star and third party publishers. I'm just not so sure that system loyalty is a driving point among the majority of the OSR community.
The question then becomes, is there an OSR system that is a sort of Rosetta Stone between the various clones. I'd suggest Swords & Wizardry Core for this, but it's more about the ascending / descending AC and perhaps single save than in being "Swords & Wizardry". Adventures written for S&W don't need an AC adjustment to be used with the other clones or original systems, but in truth, you could write an adventure for ANY clone and include ascending and descending AC in the stats and be 100% compatible with every OSR system.
There is a reason that the OSR graphic is popular to place on OSR products - its the OSR damn it!
13 comments:
In general I agree with your opinion on writing for the system you know. I disagree in the specific case with your statement that S&W's AC system is any sort of "Rosetta stone" as the ascending AC figures in that game are different by 1 from Basic Fantasy. In BFRPG, an unarmored human is AC 11. I've noted this before on our forum as well as in my RPG Primer (which has a chapter on conversions, authorized by the authors of Labyrinth Lord, S&W, and OSRIC). So including ascending AC in an adventure will still result in compatibility with EITHER BFRPG or S&W. How, exactly, to convert AC is a FAQ on our forum, and the answer is simple... subtract from 20. An OSRIC or Labyrinth Lord AC 5 man in chainmail is AC 15 in BFRPG; for S&W adventures, we just use the descending number and subtract... or add one and call it good.ReplyDelete
Note, however, that our odds of hitting are equivalent, at least at 1st level, as our tables also differ by one.
I guess I do have another point... your comments have to do with making sales. While I'm always pleased when BFRPG products sell, it is never a deciding factor in publishing anything. We are concerned only with creating things we can all use, and all benefit from.Replies
The original question was from someone that was looking to publish adventures / support material for S&W. My point was that in many was, system is irrelevant to the most part - quality trumps choice of ruleset every day of the week.Delete
I don't think there is a "Rosetta Stone" for the entire OSR. I think it's a matter of finding the game that serves as an entry point, then exploring. I came into the OSR via Labyrinth Lord. I love it and published LL supplements for years before discovering S&W White Box. (Which is funny, because I never played '74 era D&D.)ReplyDelete
I found WB to be fast, fluid and infinitely hackable. White Star was born when I said, "Man if I had found this game in a sci-fi version when I was a kid I'd have loved it!" So, I wrote the game ten-year-old James would have loved. Turns out Old Man James loves it too.
And it's never about making sales for me. Never. Sales are nice, but my strategy for writing from day one has been "Man, wouldn't it be fun if INSERT PRODUCT existed?" If it doesn't, I write it. White Star was based on that premise. The Hero's Journey is really nothing more than S&W White Box with James's House Rules put into a pretty package.
I'm a firm believer that if you write something enthusiastically and with a lot of love, that comes through to the consumer. If you're in the OSR (or the table-top gaming industry in general) just to make money, you're going to have a rough time. I say that as a successful independent publisher and as someone who has freelanced on some pretty big IP-based RPGs.
So, no there is no Rosetta Stone - and there shouldn't be. The OSR is infinitely customizeable as a whole. The base precept of "Rulings, not Rules" precludes there from being the One Universal Game to serve as a launching point. Even early D&D has half a dozen interations. This seemingly endless tweaking and modification and the fact that the OSR encourages these things is a very, very good thing.Replies
The Rosetta Stone is right there.
I may have disagreed with the Brewmaster above, but at least he and I were discussing the same thing. He was talking about a game system for which you could write and expect your materials to be more or less instantly useful to players and game masters of any OSR game. He was not discussing a conversion matrix.Delete
To be fair, that table is pretty much useless to me. Basic Fantasy doesn't use the mechanics being converted, at all, nor as far as I know does any version of S&W, nor does LL, nor does OSRIC; at least, none do in "stock" form. Converting monsters from later editions to any of those is especially tricky, and the best thing to do for most of them is to start over with just the descriptive bits and work out the details in a way consistent with the target game. They are just too different.
In other words, I think "Incorrect" is a bit of a stretch.
Good one, Courtney ;)Delete
I'm not even sure we are talking the same language at this point. Converting between OSR systems is pretty basic - converting between Pathfinder to OSR you are better off just starting from scratch, as Chris says.Delete
Any chart that makes the OSR less understandable isn't doing me any benefit ;)
It's all just D&D baby.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's what I've been saying for a long time now. Then again, I have long seen the difference between the publishers' O$R and the hobbyist/DIY OSR in these sorts of discussions.Delete
Two guesses which one I feel more akin to. First one doesn't count...
I'd go further and say it's better to write for the game you're actually running. The proof of great game products is in the playing, and what often lifts them above interesting 'thought exercises' that fade after the initial attention-grabbing is that they're tried and tested.ReplyDelete
I think the reason there is no Rosetta Stone is because the core OSR emulates 3 slightly different versions of the game: 0e (S&W, Hero's Journey, Delving Deeper, Iron Falcon, and numerous White Box variants), 1e (OSRIC, LL Advanced Edition), B/X (LL, Dark Dungeons). There's a 4th category I call "all the others" of which there are too many to name.ReplyDeleteReplies
I believe dark dungeons emulates the rules cyclopedia. Not the B/X.Delete
More to the topic. I never had any trouble playing an adventure written for another OSR systems with my system of choice. I usually only change the stats of the monsters to what I have at the meeting moment, the magic effects that fit and some minor tweaks on the fly.Delete
It's no big deal and any DM with low to any experience could do the same.
The only thing I never tried was to use some modules (non adventures) of other systems as written. That I believe would ask for a little more work, but nothing I couldn't do within a couple of hours pre-game.
Said that, I would get modules from any OSR game, given I would use what fits me.

The actual Tenaciousness From the Brand new Britain Skier As well as Snowboarder
The actual plait from the Northeast skier. Skiers as well as snowboarders in the northeastern says referred to as Brand new Britain offers numerous obstacles in order to conquer to be able to go after presently there Enthusiasm. First of all journey. The majority of skiers as well as cyclists need to journey a substantial range towards the mountain tops. If you don't reside northern associated with Birkenstock boston, Springfield Mum or even Albany NEW YORK the actual generate time for you to the vacation resort or even skiing region reaches minimum 3 several hours minimal. Do not misunderstand me there are numerous skiing places southern of the mythical collection. For example Google skiing region within Rhode Isle, Southington, as well as Sundown within Ct. These types of places tend to be completely ideal for night and day snowboarding as well as using in the event that 1 life near. To locate accurate hill using over 2000′ (where the actual snowfall is) journey northern is really a requirement. My personal wager will be which 80% or even more skiers as well as cyclists should journey northern. Rely on area you're departing through, it will require 3 several hours in order to 6 several hours to achieve a popular vacation resort.
State two. 5 in order to 3 several hours through Birkenstock boston in order to Loon Mt within Lincoln subsequently NH or even Hartford in order to Stratton Hill. Through Birkenstock boston or even Hartford is really a 5 hr journey, as well as in the exact same beginning factors in order to the most effective using The author Maximum Vermont or even Weekend Water within Bethel ME PERSONALLY. The car owner can get to include a minimum of one to two several hours. Include an additional hr in order to Sugarloaf UNITED STATES within Carrabassett Me personally. Obviously together this particular collection may be the Berkshires within MUM. as well as Mt Wachuttsetts northern western associated with Worchester Mum. The actual Berkshires are most likely the simplest with regard to skiers as well as cyclists through the southern area of Brand new Britain to obtain as well, however departing through Birkenstock boston or even Cape Cod Waterville Area, Loon as well as Canon Mt within Brand new Hampshire ALSO KNOWN AS SKIING 93 would be the greatest wager when it comes to range as well as journey occasions. Visiting Attach Washington's Southern Far eastern aspect in order to Northern Conway as well as Bartlett NH motorists can get to include one or two several hours towards the journey feeling you will find absolutely no freeways. As you may collect this consider a few function to get at your preferred vacation resort. Devoted skiers as well as cyclists within Brand new Britain are recognized for getting into presently there vehicles from 3: 00 'M as well as generating 5 in addition several hours to create the actual inch Whole milk Run". ALSO KNOWN AS the very first seat which introduces the apparatus as well as raise clerk. Nowadays hotels cost additional with this as well as phone this very first monitors. Include Blizzards as well as visitors and also the accurate commitment of the skier or even driver within the Northeast gets obvious.
The next matter skiers as well as snowboarders within the northeast should cope with may be the actually existing glaciers about the tests. We believed to my personal Memory foam doctor We would Loon Mt within NH as well as the very first thing he or she stated had been "Going in order to Skiing glaciers huh" All of us because Skiers as well as cyclists within Brand new Britain suffer from these types of remarks continuously. Obviously my personal doctor are able a location within Telluride Co following operating my personal make. Just about all 3 associated with my personal Doctors possess locations away western. Without having large thunder storms such as Co Ut and also the Sierras associated with Ca obtain strike regularly hotels as well as skiing places within Brand new Britain hurry correct away as well as load up as well as share heap the actual snowfall. Generally they'll depart the actual natural powder on it's own the very first day time of the surprise, however next searching for natural powder stashes gets regimen. Stashes may generally are available for some times following a surprise. The very first several weeks associated with skiing period within Brand new Britain the actual vacation resort whack snowfall night and day to construct the bottom, however following The month of january the actual manufacturing associated with snowfall halts. I usually right here individuals speaking as well as asking yourself the reason why that's. I'll Let you know drinking water as well as cash. Snowfall producing utilizes plenty of drinking water as well as diesel-powered energy together with electrical power as well as work.
If your vacation resort may get a difficult load up bottom associated with eighteen inch's or more through middle The month of january they are able to try to remain open up till middle 04 or even lengthier. Killington make use of to remain open up till 06, however which will stay to become observed within the following few many years along with brand new proprietors overtaking. All of us make use of to make use of Killington because measure with regard to skiing period within Brand new Britain however it appears like those times tend to be more than. The actual greatest period and also the greatest snowfall for me is actually The author Maximum within north Vermont. The author is really a amazing location. Once the relaxation associated with Brand new Britain is actually jonesing with regard to snowfall it is almost always snowing from The author. These people obtain a climate designs had been dampness techniques within in the western as well as chilly atmosphere through North america that interns produces snowfall squalls continuously. Along with glade as well as sapling snowboarding creating a return 1 certainly trip The author all day long without having to be on the reduce test. We state imaginable simply because just about all tests such as glades happen to be reduce in some manner even though it's simply cleansing all of them upward. This make use of to become starting the actual forest heading away piste or even leaping will be reasons with regard to dropping your own solution. The actual desire would be to invest winter season within the mountain tops as well as Summer time about the southern coastline, however for the majority of Brand new Britain skiers as well as Snowboarders the street journey is really a required evel. We alter "evil" in order to "evel" for any cause it isn't bad perform what must be done to get at your own goals so long as this affects understand 1. I've created this short article to not dissuade people through snowboarding as well as using Brand new Britain, however in order to emphasize exactly what we must deal with the actual go after the adore from the activity.
Snowboarding as well as Snow boarding within Brand new Britain might not be such as the large hill snowboarding from the western, however it's possible to invest the lifetime taking pleasure in the activity within Brand new Britain and also the scaled-down skiing places southern. I've been snowboarding within Brand new Britain my personal whole existence and also have frequented pretty much every slope or even hill. We additionally create the weblog depending on snowboarding, snow boarding, walking as well as backcountry hiking within the Whitened, Eco-friendly Mountain tops as well as north forest associated with Maine.
