text: On July 27, me and my now ex boyfriend had sex and we were being dumb and the condom broke... Well. I missed my period that month. I started to freak out and take a ton of pregnancy tests. I took about 7 and out of all of those 1 was positive. But since then I've dropped the idea of me being pregnant, only to have that thought being brought back to me almost 4 months later. A few weeks ago I started thinking I was pregnant again because I was getting unusual cramping in my abdomen and I started gaining weight and getting what I think is a baby bump. My mom brought me to the doctor to have me tested and get an ultrasound. They did the ultrasound thing first and said they thought they saw something, but couldn't tell for sure because my bladder wasn't full. They tested my blood and it came back negative. And now, a few weeks later, I am dead set on my being pregnant. I have symptoms, those of which being: cramping/stretching feeling in my abdomen, daily mild headaches, bloating feeling in my stomach, shortness of breath, lower backaches, fatigue, tender breasts, I have thrown up a few time in the last month, and I've gained about 10 pounds(I have never weighed more than 120 in my life, before I left my moms house I weighed 118, and now I weigh almost 128). I don't know what to think, and even my friends are asking if I'm pregnant because of my belly showing. My boyfriend even mentioned me looking like I've gained some weight. Please help?

Simple circuit measures RMS value of AC power line
Chau Tran and David Karpaty, Analog Devices Inc.
The root-mean-square value of an AC signal compares the heating value of an unknown AC signal to that of a known DC signal across identical loads, and is equal to the amount of DC required to produce an identical amount of heat in the load. When the power dissipated in the loads is equal, the known DC voltage equals the RMS value of the unknown ac signal. For example, if we applied 1 V AC RMS to a resistive heating element, it would produce exactly the same amount of heat as if we had applied 1 V DC.
Mathematically the RMS value of a voltage is defined as:
Click on image to enlarge.
This formula represents the standard deviation of a zero-average statistical signal.
Simple relationships include the following:
Click on image to enlarge.
In general, measuring the RMS value requires an RMS-to-dc converter, which provides a DC output equal to the RMS value of any input waveform. Unfortunately, the range of AC signals to be measured can be very large, while the input range of typical RMS-to-DC converters is only a few volts. To be useful for RMS-to-DC converters, the large input voltages must thus be scaled down. Measuring the RMS value of a home power line, for example, requires addtional circuitry that attenuates the AC signal to a suitable value that accommodates the input range of the RMS-to-DC converter. This application solves the problem of RMS measurements for large AC signals such as those from the electric power line.
Click on image to enlarge.
In Figure 1, the AD628 programmable-gain difference amplifier, configured for a gain of 1/25, scales the power line signal before applying it to the AD8436 rms-to-dc converter, which can only accept voltages within 0.7 V of either supply. The difference amplifier has a ±120-V common-mode input and differential-mode range, making it well suited for dividing down the high-voltage power line. The precise DC equivalent of the RMS value of the AC waveform is provided at RMS OUT. Figure 2 shows the 330-V AC p-p, 60-Hz home power line, the scaled output from the difference amplifier, and the DC output of the RMS-to-DC converter.
Click on image to enlarge.
The complete design draws only 2 mA, making it ideal for low-power applications. The external input resistor, 150 kΩ as shown, can be scaled up for use with signals larger than 400 V p-p. The input signal can exceed the power supply with no damage to the device, allowing the input signal to be present even in the absence of the supply voltage. In addition, the short-circuit protected system can operate on dual supplies up to ±18 V.
This circuit computes the true root-mean-square value of a complex AC (or AC plus DC) input signal and gives an equivalent dc output level. The true RMS value of a waveform is a more useful quantity than the average rectified value because it is a measure of the power in the signal. The RMS value of an AC-coupled signal is also its standard deviation.
About the authors
David Karpaty is a staff engineer in the Integrated Amplifier Products (IAP) group of Analog Devices, Inc., responsible for product and test engineering support of precision signal processing components with a focus on automotive products. He holds a BSEE from Northeastern University and a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering technology from Wentworth Institute.
Chau Tran joined Analog Devices in 1984, where he works in the Instrumentation Amplifier Products (IAP) group. In 1990, he graduated with an MSEE degree from Tufts University. Tran holds more than 10 patents and has authored more than 10 technical articles.
Karpaty and Tran are based at ADI in Wilmington, Mass.
The above circuit and thesis is reasonably OK. A couple of things not included in the above engineering are:
- loss of course in the line/circuitry leading to the above measuring circuitry, including to the two resistors.
- The thermo properties of the two resistors being heated by the signal-under-test and the DC signal. You have to, of course, also include the TRANSIENT thermo properties of both (I never did trust DC, including the wiring to/from the power supply.)
By the way, I believe your above circuit, including it basic premise, is covered by a patent taken out by Norm Dillman while at HP.
Myself, I used similar circuit approaches as this to provide thermal biasing stability on the many class B power amplifiers I designed for GE Audio Products back in the 60's.
But you have a nice circuit as well as a nice paper describing it and your engineering.
--Steve Grout
I actually thought this article would explain how you get RMS output from AC. Nothing useful in this article.

Welcome to a world where big cities are dying, dead - or transformed into technological megastructures. Where once-thriving suburbs are now treacherous Wilds. Where those who live for technology battle those who would die rather than embrace it. It is a world of zero-footprint cities, virtual nations, and armed camps of eco-survivalists.
Welcome to the dawn of uncivilization.
METAtropolis is an intelligent and stunning creation of five of today's cutting-edge science-fiction writers: 2008 Hugo Award winners John Scalzi and Elizabeth Bear; Campbell Award winner Jay Lake; plus fan favorites Tobias Buckell and Karl Schroeder. Together they set the ground rules and developed the parameters of this "shared universe", then wrote five original novellas - all linked, but each a separate tale.
Bringing this audiobook to life is a dream team of performers: Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan ("Saul Tigh"); Alessandro Juliani ("Felix Gaeta"); and Kandyse McClure ("Anastasia 'Dee' Dualla"); plus legendary audiobook narrators Scott Brick (Dune) and Stefan Rudnicki (Ender's Game).
John Scalzi, who served as Project Editor, introduces each story, offering insight into how the METAtropolis team created this unique project exclusively for digital audio.
©2008 Joseph E. Lake, Jr., Tobias S. Buckell, Elizabeth Bear, John Scalzi, Karl Schroeder; (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
"Each story shines on its own; as a group they reinforce one another, building a multifaceted view of a realistic and hopeful urban future." (Publishers Weekly)
"Scalzi and his contributors/collaborators have created a fascinating shared urban future that each of them evokes with his or her particular strengths.... This stellar collection is a fascinating example of shared world-building." (Booklist)
"This impressive group of writers imagines what happens when the world moves beyond cities as a locus of human civilization. The range of narrators...brings a unique narrative style to the production. Of the five narrators, all well chosen for the stories, Allessandro Juliani proves to be the best with his rendering of Scalzi's piece." (AudioFile)
"Not a wasted credit"
(rewritten to exclude apostrophes or quotation marks, which Audible processes incorrectly.)
I like the concept of a shared world and overall this is an entertaining audiobook, but like any anthology some stories are better than others.
In the Forests of the Night by Jake Lake was an extended pseudospiritual/political rant that never answers the most obvious question, i.e. who is Tygre?
I liked Stochasti-city by Tobias Buckell at least in part because it is read by Scott Brick but also because it is entertaining and interesting although the ideas of ex-military street mercs and repurposing abandoned urban real estate were done (better) decades ago by William Gibson.
The Elizabeth Bear story elicited an enthusiastic meh. The characters just were not that compelling and there was not much of a plot to resolve.
John Scalzi is a good writer with a good sense of humor and a lighter tone was needed by this point. His story was funny, but at times it comes across like a 1980s comedy film: slacker hero saves the world through pranking. Not a spoiler, because you see it coming a mile away.
They saved the best for last. To Hie from Far Cilenia by Karl Schroeder is the most thought-provoking of the set. It was a quirky combination of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson and Spook Country by William Gibson with a heavy dose of Stephensonian fascination with currency. Being a huge fan of both Stephenson and Gibson, it worked for me. The fact that Stefan Ruknicki is a brilliant reader helps too.
The whole collection owes a lot to Gibson, even the various green movements (anybody remember the Sandbenders?), but Gibson was less heavy-handed than these stories. It does put a nice big flashing date stamp on the era at least. Half the science fiction books in the 80s were about nuclear Armageddon, half today are about environmental Armageddon.
Anyway, it serves as a good screenshot of contemporary writing and is worth a listen.
I'm loving audio books more each day-being able to walk the dog, do the dishes or keep an eye on grandkids in the pool-all while listening to a book is great. My favorite genres are mystery/romance, some paranormal and lots of Science Fiction.
"Fascinating take on our future."
Gather together half a dozen writers of speculative fiction, set a general format and time frame, some agreed on names and policies and pair them up with narrators (some better than others) and you could get a winner or loser. In my opinion it's a 85% winner. I think what ticked me off is the mispronunciation of names in Oregon-names are important so instead of making up the pronunciation, just ask someone from the Pacific Northwest.
It's Wil-aahh-met, not willa-met. It's Estacada not Esta - caw-da. Stuff like that gets to me. But for the most, Tygre, Tygre was good.
My favorite was the story of the bike messenger woman who gets caught up with a vertical farming group who has turned an office building into apartments for families. Imagine living in your cubicle space?
The stories jump from place to place, from the Cascades to Detroit to New St. Louis. But the future they predict, while not crazy dystopian are different and are all to easy to see as our future if the banks and lawyers continue to draw down on the middle class, if medical care gets more expensive if we don't decide to make changes in our life.
Be prepared to get the secnd volume Metatropolis:Cascadia
"Won't make this mistake again."
This may be for people that like a gloom & doom book. The first story was way too far out there and just didn't grab your attention. The second was funny and I like the narrator but I just couldn't finish the book.
Kill Shot by Vince Flynn
They were OK
Tyger Tyger
"Average at best"
The stories were ok, but nothing special. The shared world gimmick really did not play a major role--these stories would have had the same impact as stand-alone stories (George R. R. Martin's Wild Cards shared world series is an example of how the shared world concept can be used to wonderful effect). John Scalzi's lighthearted tale of a pig farmer was the best of the bunch, probably because it was the least preachy and easiest to follow the plot. All of the stories seemed to follow the same basic format, i.e., outsiders trying to usurp the technological progress of the city-states. The biggest problem with this audio book is the varying quality of the readers. Michael Hogan snarls his way through Jay Lake's opening novella and Stefan Rudnicki growls through the final story by Karl Schroeder. Kandyse McClure and Scott Brick do good jobs, with Alessandro Juliani doing the best (or perhaps he was blessed with reading Scalzi's fun story). This audio book is nominated for the Best Dramatic Presentation Hugo Award for some inexplicable reason. It's ratings on Audible.com and LibraryThing.com are so-so at best, and it did not appear on any Best of the Year lists that I saw. My guess is that people voted for it based on name recognition without actually listening to it.
"Somewhat Disappointed"
I really wanted to like this, but ultimately it just didn't seem to hit the mark, coming off as a collection of mediocre adverts for the authors rather than a real attempt at a connected collection of short stories. The quality of the voice acting was variable also.
It's not all bad; a couple of stories are worthy in their own right, but as a collection, there's just not enough to hold it together.
"Very Enjoyable"
Every story was interesting and they wove together rather well. The first story was probably the weakest in my opinion, because it never really explains itself to the listener very well. Still, even that story was fun to listen to.
I'd really like to see more stories written in this alternate future world.
"Not as original as I hoped"
When I read about this project and listened to the editors preface I thought I was in for a very imaginative and creative work. While this isn't a terrible book, it's not that creative.
I prefer Science Fiction that is a metaphor for a insight into the human condition. Here I felt was science fiction as a metaphor for the collective authors' current day political view points. It got a bit tiresome and was repetitive. Because this book makes statements on so many current day events, it will probably not be as interesting in say, two or three years.
The brightest point of the book are the readers. All your favorites are here and they do not disappoint. As for the stories themselves, they are of varying quality, but on the whole B- in average.
If your choice of books is between this one and one that you're very excited about, choose the other. If you are just looking for something that might be a solid base hit, this book will meet your expectations.
I was skeptical about the concept of collaborative writing after that Chopin Manuscript thing, but the BSG actors as narrators was too strong of a marketing ploy for me to resist.
I was pleasantly surprised. Especially by Alessandro Juliani. WOW! What an incredible performance.
Gaeta may have lost a leg, but Alessandro has gained a fan. No...seriously... He brings the author's world to life as richly as did Paul Giamatti in "A Scanner Darkly."
The tales are engaging, and there is enough overlap between them for you to see a coherent whole.
The other narrators do a fine job (though I'm admittedly not a big Brick fan), but Alessandro really stands out in this audio book. Which is doubly impressive when you consider he's down to one leg.
If you likes you some Sci-Fi, this book will provide hours of entertainment. So bring a towel, 'cause at METAtropolis, it's laid out like 'dat.
"The world you know - sort of"
METAtropolis is an interesting take on the future - financial collapse causes social reform among other changes. It makes one think about the future and our part in it. Be aware that this is an anthology of short stories - if you like one, you may not like the others. That having been said, the only bad thing I have to say about this book is that there isn't more of it. Its that good. I suggest you listen to it - if for no other reason than it will make you think. Oh, if you did like it - check out METAtropolis Cascadia - its as well written and arguably better performed.
Every book is worth considering. It's the kind of consideration on what to do with the book that differs.
METAtropolis is a compilation of five different stories by five distinguished authors taking place in the same shared universe, which keeps things fresh and enjoyable. I didn't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I had. I found myself sad every time each story comes to an end, and quickly excited again for what comes next.
Get METAtropolis: Cascadia as soon as you're done with this. Worth it.

Wholesale demand for : Urea 46%
(RFQ / Buylead from Viet Nam)
18 Apr 2011
Dear Sir/Madame,
Our compnay is registered with Hochiminh City (Saigon) Department of Planning and Investment (HCMC DPI) in June 2010.
We gather a team of top managers, business owners from Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Shanghai, Canada, and Australia. (Vietnamese, Cambodian and oversea people with Chinese origin). Our initial project in Vietnam is American education in cooperation with a school in Singapore.
Other ongoing project is that we exported Australian wines to Shanghai, Cambodia and Vietnam in.
Due to current needs of our social and business relationships, we want to outsource for a good supplier of urea 46 % N which will be able to go with us to dominant Southeast Asia market (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia). Other type of fertilizers or chemicals will be discussed later. We will act as middleman, not direct importer. Currently, we have relationships with at least 4 key buyers in Vietnam for Urea 46% N.
Please kindly understand that those key buyers are already in the market for years and dominating local markets for imported Urea. They would buy from another supplier just because of the relationship with us. Competitive prices with high quality products would be our advantages.
So if you think you are strong enough to penetrate and dominant this market, contact me and we will work in details for Vietnam market first with some key buyers in Hochiminh City.
Looking forward to your cooperation in very near future.

Reporting Date: 21ST NOVEMBER 2011
In the world of nature, there is alot of competition among the hunters and the scavengers. Animals like the lions would not like the survival of other meat-eaters like cheetahs, leopards and hyenas. whenever an opportunity arises, they make sure that they eliminate either the young of other cats or the bigger ones. In most instances they would kill but not eat, simply trying to bring down competition in the wild.
In the Serengeti national park, we saw a situation whereby a leopard killed an hyena then drags it into a tree but not eating. This is an incident in which the leopard came closer to eating an hyena as they would sometimes kill them ( especially young or sub adults) and abandon the carcasse on the ground. Meanwhile the cheetah is the most disadvantaged of the bigger cats when it comes to competition as it cannot fight because its limps are adapted only for high speed, so in tight situations, they are easily overpowered by lions.
Select the desired Camp: Mara Bushtops or Serengeti Bushtops

My littler one hasn't ever tried the swings, but she liked the slides when we tried them this past Sunday... too fun. I never would've tried the slide at this age with #1, but since we were at the playground anyway for big brother I did. :)What beautiful boys!!! I'm partial to little men, myself. :-)

LOWELL -- The City Council unanimously passed a motion Tuesday night calling on the city administration to report back on how city businesses and property owners forced to buy new fire-alarm boxes from only one company can recoup some of their costs.
When the city switched to a new wireless fire-alarm system in 2009, the Fire Department told owners of residential buildings of 13 or more units they had to purchase a radio box connecting to city dispatch from the company that installed the system.
The Sun reported last week that then-Inspector General Gregory Sullivan determined in 2011 that the city's arrangement with East Coast Security Services of Salem, N.H., for the boxes "completely obliterated price competition."
"The businesses are not happy and I understand why," Councilor Rodney Elliott said Tuesday night. "One company was given a monopoly."
Sullivan also determined that the $2,475 price East Coast was charging for the boxes for non-municipal buildings was far more than $1,100 the company paid to obtain the boxes.
"This was not advantageous for the businesses and the citizens of Lowell," Sullivan wrote in an Oct. 2011 letter never provided to the City Council by City Manager Bernie Lynch's administration until after The Sun's report last week.
"The low bidder put the bid low and their losses onto the back of the business customers," City Councilor Rita Mercier said Tuesday night.
East Coast was the lowest of six bidders in 2009.
Sullivan said the alarm boxes for non-municipal property owners should have been procured under a public-bidding process and not a "no-bid" agreement.
Elliott, who made the motion Tuesday night about assisting impacted businesses, said the city should look into refunding the fee property owners have paid the city to have their alarm boxes monitored. That fee is $275 according to city documents.
Fire Chief Edward Pitta defended Lowell's arrangement with East Coast as the "industry standard."
In Tyngsboro, property owners who want to tie directly into the city's dispatch center have to go through Mammoth Fire Alarms of Lowell, a company that protested Lowell's arrangement with East Coast, said Pitta.
Tewksbury property owners have to go through LW Bills of Georgetown for fire alarms connected to dispatch and pay far more than they do in Lowell, according to Pitta.
The chief said communities typically go with one company to connect alarm boxes directly to dispatch so that if there is a problem, the city only has to deal with one vendor, not six or seven parties.
Councilor Ed Kennedy questioned Pitta on why the Lowell Housing Authority got some boxes for less than other business owners. According to Sullivan, the LHA got 11 boxes at the reduced cost of $1,100.
Pitta said it was because some of the LHA's buildings were inadvertently included in the city's original bid package and they only got 6 boxes at the reduced rate. He did not think it was a "sweetheart deal" as Elliott had charged.
Some local businesses have told The Sun they had the opportunity to buy similar boxes to East Coast devices for less than half the price, but City Solicitor Christine O'Connor said those boxes would have provided indirect connections to dispatch.
She praised East Coast for keeping its price steady since it became the city's vendor for the new alarm system.
Both Elliott and Mercier said they have more questions, and they want to ask Lynch about the fire-alarm bidding-law violations at a future date because Lynch was absent last night.
"I think he should have been here and he is not," Mercier said of Lynch.
Mercier made a motion to have a special meeting this coming Tuesday on the issue, but she only gained support from Elliott and Kennedy.
Mayor Patrick Murphy and Councilors Kevin Broderick, Marty Lorrey, Bill Martin, Joseph Mendonca and Vesna Nuon voted in opposition, with Martin saying the matter can wait until a regular meeting.
The next City Council meeting will be Sept. 11.

Hi guys! First of all I'd like to thank you for your effort, ultrabook class laptop supporting ubuntu sounds like a dream might come true, but I won't buy it untill there's no windows preinstalled on it.
Don't get me wrong though, it's not just that I can't pay extra 100$( or what is the windows price? ) for something I'm not going to use. It's just the fact that buying a windows laptop makes me feel like I contribute to windows monopoly, that already makes me suffer while choosing a laptop
Status Update: The XPS 13 Developer Edition comes with Ubuntu preinstalled. Thank you for posting!

Algebra flipped upside down
By Austin Meek
At Briarhill Middle School, the eighth-grade algebra class is "flipped."
This means that children do their conventional homework at school and learn the material at home. This helps children so that they don't go home and do their homework all wrong and come back in class the next day and get a zero on it.
There is more homework, though, because the student learns the lesson at home. The teacher sometimes makes videos or finds appropriate helpful videos to help the students learn the concept. Schools all over the district are trying this and it is helping lots of students. Not only does the student learn the material at home, but they are also being exposed to some of the new material that the teacher will further explain in class.
This is helping students because they are able to be helped during class while doing their work by the teacher, who walks around and helps any students that have trouble. It is also good to have one slightly larger assignment due over a long period of time because someone might be busy one night but can then do the homework another day instead of daily assignments.

Downs College staff poised to strike over redundancies
SUSSEX Downs College staff could be on the verge of strike action after a wave of redundancies was announced.
In March, the college revealed government cuts in further education was forcing it to review its structure, curriculum and services.
This week, the National Union of Teachers said that 96 per cent of teachers polled had voted in favour of a strike.
However, college principal and chief executive Melanie Hunt said the ballot had 'gained positive responses from only 24 staff'.
She added, "We are very disappointed by the continuing reductions in funding for colleges. Protecting our learners and staff is our first priority; but in the current economic climate, this is a real challenge.
"I take seriously our commitment to try and safeguard courses and jobs for our many staff who work very hard, and who give our learners and customers valuable qualifications and employment.
Phil Clarke, secretary for Lewes, Eastbourne and Wealden NUT, said, "Our members are prepared to take action not only in defence of jobs but also to protect the educational standards at the college.
"Standards simply cannot be maintained with this level of cuts while making teachers and lecturers teach more hours."
He said strikes could begin next month. Members of the NUT's sister union the UCU are also being balloted.

When Kenneth Purcell emerged from his New Orleans home after Hurricane Isaac churned through the city in August, he couldn't believe what he saw. Nearly all of his neighbors had poured out into the streets to help each other clean up.
It was a completely different environment than the one he'd seen seven years ago, after Katrina struck.
"People started cleaning up their yards and helping neighbors that had gone away," Purcell said. "It was this silent but perfectly coordinated and synchronized effort."
This is what made him and his wife, who was expecting their second child, to cancel a trip they booked to Florida in order to escape the stress of the Isaac aftermath.
Purcell says it's the same sentiment that has brought people from all over the county to New Orleans in the years following Katrina and has helped spur the city's entrepreneurial movement.
He moved his company, iSeatz, a travel-and-entertainment booking engine, back to New Orleans in January 2008 after relocating to New York post-Katrina. The move back to New Orleans caused him to lose almost all of his employees in New York and forced him to establish a new staff.
Perhaps surprisingly, it would also prove to be a good business decision.
"The new people that I hired were here because they wanted to be," Purcell said. "They wanted not just the company to be successful, but they wanted the company to help the city be successful."
An influx of entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship has spiked in New Orleans, a city that suffered a population exodus and struggled to get back on its feet after Katrina's destruction. The Greater New Orleans Community Data Center says that 427 of every 100,000 adults in the city started a business between 2008 and 2010 -- the most recent period for which data is available -- compared to a national rate of 333 of every 100,000 during that time.

Fornost is next on our upgrade train as we march up through the instances of LOTRO. It's a gigantic instance (I think larger than Rhode Island) with a ton of bosses, 4 tons of trash mobs, a gaggle of quests, a whole lot of lore and story and a very thick layer of dust and cobwebs. This place is both literally and figuratively ancient.
But first I'm going to wander a bit and talk about my perspective on the evolution of dungeons and instances in MMOs, feel free to skip ahead to the directly relevant Fornost stuff a few paragraphs down if you want.
Fornost was designed and built in a different era of MMO. It was our third instance, after Garth Agarwen and Great Barrows, and it was completed before LOTRO shipped. That era was marked by behemoth instances inspired by EverQuest (EQ) style dungeons. The iteration over EQ was that dungeons had become instanced. Now that each group had their own play space, griefing, mob stealing, and other types of negative social play was removed from the equation. What we hadn't realized, however, was that while Lower Guk was enormous, it was made smaller thanks to having other groups clearing out portions of the dungeon. Our new instanced spaces didn't yet account for that. That fact, combined with rapid expansion of types of players within the player base, the player base moving towards a shorter average session time and a myriad other factors started the next large shift in design and construction. This current iteration is geared towards more manageably sized instance spaces that can be completed in 30-60 minutes of play, while the ancient "monsters of the deep" dungeons get less and less play.
There have already been many other shifts and adjustments, some of which were successful while others failed, but those I think are the big steps.
There's always been a desire to make sure that dungeons feel epic, grand, and invoke a sense of awe from the player while they are within the space. As instances have changed, the tools and methods for accomplishing those goals have shifted. Epic no longer means spending 6 hours in one dungeon – it's translated to more custom art, more skills and mechanics, and more intricate set pieces.
It is time for Fornost to join the modern MMO world. The space needs to start getting the time and play numbers a location like this deserves.
What does all this actually mean?
Fornost is now split into four 6-man instances, each playing between 30-45 minutes. The minimum level has been lowered to 30 and the max is 75. They each feature two tiers of difficulties and all have challenges on the final boss fights. Bosses have been redistributed to be an even three per wing. Each space's quests will auto-bestow upon entry. Some of those quests have been repurposed from existing ones, others are all new. Non re-purposed existing quests are still present and available in the existing Fornost camp. Sara Oakheart is still there.
We learned a lot from breaking up the Great Barrow and Helegrod instances. We learned how those upgrades went, how they influenced play and progression through the space, and the feedback and response to some of those decisions. All of that informed Fornost's split, which has been done in a very linear manner. The goal is that if you played the four spaces back to back, it would feel very similar to having played one giant instance.
The four instances are broken down to match the wraiths: water, earth, fire, and shadow.
Water starts at the entrance and ends in the first tower with the defeat of the water wraith.
Earth starts at the second plateau, takes the players through the goblins and trolls and ends in the second tower with the defeat of the earth wraith.
Fire starts at the top of the earth tower, uses the south half of the upper plateau and ends in the third tower with the fire wraith.
Shadow starts at the exit of the fire tower, wraps across the north half of the upper plateau, then through the orcs and shades there and ends in the final tower with the shadow wraith.
Except for water, each instance is gated by a one-time deed to complete the one before it. There's no advance credit if you've done it before. You don't need to find the entrance to start the water wing.
A token amount of new monsters that we didn't have at the time have been added for additional flavour and variety, but on the whole the monster mix remains the same. The majority of the monster placement (bosses aside) has remained the same. Trash mobs have seen some adjustments. For example, they're not all elites anymore and we've made slight AI modifications to introduce a little more gameplay.
Bosses have seen a lot of work. 12 is a ton to have across four related instances and we've done all we can to have them be different and interesting but feel related. The existing fights were used as the foundation for the new fights, we've just enhanced and built up the mechanics so bosses now have more than one unique skill each. This presented a challenge to us, however, as Fornost features a large amount of "wave" style fights. We've come up with several ways to make them different from each other and to display the variety of options there.
Our goal with these changes is to make Fornost the second set of 6-man spaces you encounter while leveling up. Great Barrow introduced you to the basics of grouping and bosses and this should expand your knowledge and introduce you to new things in the toolkit, including:
Hey guys! Rock here! I'm hijacking this dev diary to talk about loot for a bit. Turning the Fornost cluster into scaling spaces gave us a chance to really think about how level-scaling spaces compare to level-assigned spaces, such as the Isengard cluster and Roots of Fangorn instance. The big thing which stood out to us was the difference in currency rewards between our existing scaling spaces and the Isengard cluster / Roots of Fangorn. The amount of currency / hour players could get from the Isengard cluster compared to the scaling spaces heavily encouraged players to focus on running the Isengard cluster. While we want players to run the Isengard cluster and Roots of Fangorn, we don't want to completely leave the Scaling Instances in the dust. To help address the difference, each auto-bestowed optional quest in Fornost will give Medallions instead of Marks. This should help to even out the currency gaps.
As each wing has three bosses, there will be three chests. Each chest will give players the standard rewards (skirmish bounties, relics, Item Experience Runes, etc). The first and third chests will also give players equipment. Similarly to the Great Barrow, Annúminas, and the other classic instances we've given the scaling treatment, Fornost now drops level-scaling items. Just shy of forty new items were created for the Fornost cluster and divided between each space. The new items are intended to help fill some gaps with stat combinations in gear from Scaling Instances, and to help players gear up using Scaling Instances. All the rewards previously found in Fornost are now available on the Classic vendors found at your Skirmish camp of choice.
Now back to your regularly scheduled dev diary.
While we know there are those out there who are loathing Fornost being chopped up, it was something that needed to happen. Every bit of content out there has a target play number and a level of attention that makes it useful and relevant to the game and player base. Fornost was flatlined. Fortunately, after a couple of syringes of adrenaline and a few shots from a defibrillator, we believe it's going to be back into everyone's play rotation.

On October 12th, the Young Photographers Alliance (YPA) hosted their second annual award ceremony and benefit auction at New York's Metropolitan Pavilion. Six young photography students were presented with cash scholarships by photography icons Barbara Bordnick, Timothy Greenfield Sanders, Ron Haviv, Eric Meola, Doug Menuez and Michel Tcherevkoff. The scholarship awards are one of the programs YPA runs with the aim of nurturing talented young photographers to emerge as tomorrow's top visual artists and documenters of our world.
Nearly $10,000 was raised on the night of the event, yet many highly collectible prints, including the images featured here, are still available for purchase online. This important fundraiser supports YPA's mission to inspire, educate and empower the next generation of professional image makers. To view and bid on any of the 140 available prints from industry greats, click here. Bidding will close at 9PM EDT, October 28th, 2010.
