The Rockefeller Foundation says it is giving $6 million to help 100,000 inner city school children across the U.S. see the Tony Award-winning musical "Hamilton."
The foundation said Thursday the funding would allow students at some public schools in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the District of Columbia to see the show for $10.
"As part of their American History studies, students will experience history," the Rockefeller Foundation said in press release. "Our goal is to not only bring history to life for students throughout the country, but to have them relate to the actors who make this show what it is; demonstrating that everything is possible for them, no matter what neighborhood they live in, what school they attend, or where they come from."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Additional cities will be announced as "Hamilton" tours the country.
Plans are already in the works to open a Chicago company of "Hamilton," as well as one for London and a U.S. national tour that starts on the West Coast.
The students will attend special matinee performances and interact with cast members during the program.
The additional funding follows a 2015 pilot program, #EduHam, that provided a $1.5 million grant for 20,000 New York City school children to see the Broadway sensation.

Casting News Galore!
Lots of casting news to report, kids, so let's get right into it:
- Grant Aleksander (pictured) has confirmed that he will be returning to the role of Phillip Spaulding on Guiding Light beginning in January 2009.
- Jay Kenneth Johnson is leaving Days of Our Lives after stalled contract negotiations. Some report that it all came down to money -- while Days has been renewed through 2010, they had to massively trim down the budget, and it would appear that Jay was asking for too much. While others say it came down to story -- or lack thereof. The way his character has been being treated lately, I can't say that I blame him for picking up and leaving.
- Drake Hogestyn (John Black) and Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) are OUT! Days' executive producer Ken Corday told Soap Opera Digest: "The couple will be happily reunited after a long period of angst and separation and will be off-screen after January for an unknown period of time. It was a very tough decision to make."
- Beginning Dec. 12, look for MacKenzie Westmore (ex-Sheridan, Passions) to play Annie's psychiatrist (boy, does she ever need one!), Dr. Sinclair, on All My Children.
- One Life to Live's Andrea Evans is out after her six-month stint as Tina Lord. However, they have kept the door open for her to return at any time.
- Rebecca Budig will be exiting All My Children in early spring 2009, when her one-year contract expires. Rebecca cited the bicoastal lifestyle (she is on the East Coast, her home and hubby, Bob Guiney, are on the West Coast) as the reason for her departure.

All through my life, I've relied on art as my sanctuary.
A realm where I can explore my connection to the world .
What I create is a burst out of my inner feelings as I make realizations about this connection.
With this, I attempt to relate to others.
To create a lasting piece,
one that is worthy of eternal existence, one must reach deep within this realm.
Without bias and prejudice, the artist must discover what is most important; The creation, or the universal connection that lies within. It is that connection that feeds the soul of the collective.

Sacramento Bee: Monica Alexander needs a full-time job (Heck, I bet the record number of people out of the workforce just wish they had any kind of job) . A certified nursing assistant, she just started working about 28 hours a week as a home companion in Wake County, N.C. That's a major improvement over the eight hours she had been clocking each week for six of the past seven months.
Alexander is one of 7.5 million Americans struggling to find full-time work who settle for part-time jobs, amid an atmosphere of stress, depression and low finances. Their numbers remains stubbornly higher in the current economic recovery, compared with the peaks of the recessions over the past three decades.
Indeed, the number of unemployed people is 24 percent higher now than it was in December 2007 when the recession began. But the number of people like Alexander – known as involuntary part-time workers – is 66 percent higher, more than double what it was back then.
One reason is a gap in the kinds of skills needed to find work in an increasingly technological workplace. Many employers also remain uncertain about the economy and hesitant about deeper financial commitments.
And hiring part-time instead full-time employees is one way that some businesses are getting around the costs of a mandate in the health care law that requires employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide insurance coverage beginning in January.
"The pace of decline in part-time employment is smaller now than what we've seen in other recoveries," said Gus Faucher, a senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh. "Businesses have been cautious about moving workers from part time to full time."
Alexander, 43, lives with three of her four children in Zebulon, N.C., population 4,433. They live in Section 8 housing, a type of federally subsidized low-income housing, in the Research Triangle, a region near Raleigh and Durham clustered with universities and high-tech companies. Last year she earned about $7,000.
"It's been a struggle to keep food in the house, to keep gas in the car," she said. "My 17-year old was making comments, 'Well, Mom, do we really have to live like this?'"
Alexander's monthly grocery bill for four people and their dog, Tiny, runs between $150 and $200, or roughly $12.50 per week per person. She's reluctant to use her car to apply for jobs for fear that it will be a waste of time and money. The family supplements its income with two disability checks: one for Alexander because she is hearing disabled, and one for a son who has an attention deficit disorder.
Sometimes relatives bring food over for the children, but Alexander's two ex-husbands pay no child support; one is unemployed and the other is in jail, she said.
Alexander is currently taking college classes to become a certified nurse by the end of next year. The classes are paid for by the Capital Area Workforce Development Board, a federally funded employment agency in Raleigh. Meanwhile, she applied for a full-time job at McDonald's in July but has not heard back.
"You're waiting and waiting and waiting," Alexander said. "In the meantime you could actually starve. That's what it feels like: 'Am I going to starve before I get this decent job?'"
Economists stress that the monthly number of part-time workers is a volatile statistic, subject to frequent swings. In March 2010, the number of involuntary part-time workers peaked at 9.2 million. It's now 7.5 million, five years into the economic recovery that began in 2009. Still, even that lower amount is higher than it was during the recessions of the early 1980s, '90s and 2000s.
"It's bad on an individual level and a part of the slow recovery," said Heidi Shierholz, a labor economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank in Washington. "People are involuntary part time because they can't find jobs that meet their needs."
The number of involuntary part-time workers actually increased in 16 states between 2012 and 2013.
The level in North Carolina ticked up from 51,000 to 63,000 workers during that period, according to the latest annual averages from the Labor Department. South Carolina, Mississippi and Kansas, among others, also increased their part-time workforces.
Dominick Finelle applies for full-time work about five times a week, even though he says he might not be qualified for all of the jobs. A self-described workaholic, Finelle earned a six-figure salary for about 15 years as a freelance illustrator of book covers between the late 1980s and early 2000s. Publishers Simon & Schuster, Penguin Books USA and Time Warner printed his illustrations. Work paid well.
His hours began to steadily decline in 2005 as the publishing industry struggled and book sales declined. Finelle moved to Cary, N.C., in 2006 with his wife, Claudia, and their three children. He has worked 10-15 hours a week for the past four years.
His income fluctuates depending on his freelance work, but he earned roughly $35,000 last year. Claudia is working temporarily full time this summer teaching arts and crafts to children.
Finelle, 51, said he has run through most of his savings: "It's running out. I'm panicking." To make ends meet, he has delivered pizzas, worked at the local sports arena and spent last holiday season carrying packages for UPS. Finelle said he and his family can live on the rest of his savings, along with whatever work he and his wife get, for about one more year.
"I put everything into this one career. The plan B wasn't even in the equation," said Finelle, later adding: "All I think about is looking for work, and if I can go this month without tapping into savings."
A skills gap and the duration of part-time employment make full-time employment hard to earn back, said Pat Sturdivant, executive director of the Capital Area Workforce Development Board, which is operated by the Wake County government.
The "I'll-take-whatever-I-can-get," approach allows people to survive financially, but it may hurt them when applying for full-time work, Sturdivant said. The development board helps workers obtain jobs and pays for training. The majority of people coming to the centers for employment help are between 35 and 59.
"A lot of cases what we do find is people working part-time jobs in industries that aren't related to what they did when they were working full time," said Sturdivant. "That also poses a challenge when you're trying to help them find full-time work."
The Affordable Care Act's impact on part-time employment is harder to discern. Some economists say that the insurance mandate is not influencing the way employers are hiring this year, but one local hiring expert disagrees.
"It drives me nuts when I read these economists' articles," said Bruce Clarke, president and CEO of Capital Associated Industries Inc., a human resources management company in Raleigh, "because it doesn't match at all what I'm seeing."
Clarke's company surveys 1,100 companies in North Carolina on salaries, hiring, wages and health care costs, among other topics. Employers already are looking to increase their part-time employment and cheapen costs on full-time workers because of the mandate, he said.
Health care coverage for one of Clarke's full-time employees costs about $13,000 a year. On top of a salary, the costs create little incentive for employers to hire full-time workers into positions that already have low profitability, said Clarke, who emphasized his views are economically, not politically, driven.
"If I'm going to bring someone in a role that has a low margin (of profit) in it," he said, "then it makes no economic sense to add $13,000 to the cost of that role."

Republicans' leverage on tax cuts for the rich
Did you think the election was going to end uncertainty over the future course of U.S. economic policy? Dream on. There are at least three ways the standoff over the "fiscal cliff" -- the automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to start in January -- could play out.
The first scenario is a Republican surrender. The tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush expire at the end of the year. Republicans want to extend all of them, while Democrats say only the ones that directly benefit the middle class should continue. Some liberals are hopeful that Republicans will realize they have lost this fight and no longer have leverage: After the start of the year, Democrats will propose re-enacting the middle-class tax cuts and Republicans will agree. Maybe they'll even agree to it before the year's end.
They will agree, on this theory, in order to avoid the second scenario: Republicans insist on extending tax cuts for everyone, the parties deadlock, and taxes stay high for everyone. Many liberals think that Republicans would get the blame for that result -- and that Republicans know it and will therefore try to avoid it.
Republicans may, however, find this scenario more bearable than Democrats think. They may decide that even if middle-class taxes go up, they will be able to say that they tried to prevent it, and it was only Democrats' insistence on higher taxes for the rich that got in the way. Republicans may figure that voters will be inclined to blame the Democrats because the party that controls the White House usually gets credit and blame for everything, and because the Democrats are the party associated with higher taxes.
Republicans will also be able to point to a long list of news stories quoting Democrats to the effect that going over the cliff, and raising taxes on the middle class, would be fine because it would help them get their way.
Republicans may thus have some leverage after all. House Speaker John Boehner certainly seems to think they do. He has said he is willing to let the federal government raise more revenue from rich people by scaling back tax breaks. He is holding out for two conditions: He doesn't want tax rates to go up, and he wants to reduce the growth of spending on Social Security and Medicare.
This package, he notes, would be "balanced" in the two senses President Barack Obama has demanded. It would involve both higher revenue and lower spending, and its burdens would mainly fall on the rich. Most proposals for reining in Social Security benefits, for example, concentrate on high earners.
If Republicans have leverage, and if Democrats want to avoid middle-class tax increases and any possibility of getting blamed for them, then there has to be a real deal. This is the third scenario: the "grand bargain" of Beltway hopes. If it happened, it would be Obama's biggest bipartisan accomplishment.
The odds are still against it. The White House has already rejected Boehner's offer, saying that the top tax rates have to go up and a new millionaire surtax be added. It wants twice the revenue that just letting the top rates increase would yield.
Why is Obama demanding so much revenue? Perhaps he wants to use the demand as a bargaining chip. Perhaps he is willing to let negotiations fail and blame the Republicans for the resulting middle-class tax increases. Or perhaps he thinks the Republicans have been neutered by the election and will go along with whatever he wants.
Many liberals don't want to make Medicare and Social Security less generous even to affluent retirees. They fear that making the programs more openly redistributive would undermine public support for them. It's a screwy idea -- why wouldn't higher taxes on wealthy people to pay for the programs have the same effect? -- but it's what they think.
The most likely path to a deal involves Obama's dropping the surtax idea and making some concessions on entitlements. The best bet for what actually happens, though, is gridlock, followed by competitive finger-pointing.

Tips for Coping with the New Garbage Limits in the Niagara Region
Those of us in the Niagara region will soon experience changes in our waste management. Specifically our previous 2-bag/container trash limit will be reduced to one. However, blue and grey bins will be collected weekly instead of rotating biweekly collections of one bin. This is good news in my opinion! However some are complaining about the changes.
When we moved to the region six years ago, full-on recycling was a huge adjustment as we'd moved from an area that had no recycling at all. Everything went in the trash. It took a few months for everyone to get accustomed to the change. But we did. As everyone else will with these changes.
Green Bin Usage is the Issue
I heard one radio news report stating that region-wide green bin use was only at 30%. Just by looking down the road on collection day I would say this is accurate. Failing to use the green bin for organics waste dramatically increases a household's weekly trash. According to the US Composting council, 74% of landfill waste is organic. This isn't just a problem with the quantities we're sending to landfills, but the composition of what we send to landfills. Organics in nature will break down releasing carbon dioxide, however that carbon dioxide that results from a natural breakdown (such as backyard composting or forest floor decomposition) is part of nature's short-term carbon cycle. Plant photosynthesis will clear out this carbon dioxide. However, in a landfill, decomposing organics release carbon as methane, which has a far greater impact on global warming than carbon dioxide. One of the BEST things we can do personally to reduce our impact on the earth that sustains us is to compost our organics waste. We can't compost meat-based waste in our backyards, but if our municipalities will do so, by all means we should send them all we can and eliminate all the organics we possibly can from our landfills.
But the Green Bin Stinks!
Yes, it does. Just as much as a garbage bag/can that contains animal fats like chicken skin, etc. There are lots of ways to reduce this stink, and to reduce all the other unpalatable aspects of organics recycling. Here's what we do:
- Backyard composting. If you garden, start backyard composting. Only place vegetable and fruit scraps (never any meat scraps or eggs or fats) in your backyard compost bin. Add a great deal of brown matter -- newspaper, leaves, straw, etc., to create a healthy mix and stir it up. Removing fruit and vegetable scraps from your home daily will prevent fruit flies from flocking to your kitchen for those scraps. In the Niagara Region you can purchase a backyard composter from the region for up to 80% LESS than you can buy one in a store.
- Freeze your organics. Keep a small, kitchen-sized compostable liner or a brown paper lunch sack in your refrigerator freezer for all the animal wastes. Grease from cooking, bones, skin, leftover meat -- all of those things that stink to no end when rotting in a garbage can or the green bin can go into the freezer where they are not going to stink. On trash day, toss the bags in the green bin and take it to the curb. This eliminates maggots in the warmer months, along with the stench of rot - eliminating varmint attraction as well. Add newspaper to the bottom of your green bin to absorb the moisture that results from the frozen waste thawing. Our household of five rarely has more than one bag of this waste each week. Often we need two weeks to fill it, but we do compost our own vegetable and fruit scraps.
- Rinse your green bin out every week during the non-frozen months.
It's not just for food waste! Cat litter can be composted in the Niagara Region. Since I foster cats and kittens, this is a boon for us! Without composting of cat litter, we often exceeded our trash limits. Ever since the region started composting cat litter I've never exceeded our limits.
Napkins, paper towels, tissues (that haven't been used to blow one's nose or the like) can all go into the compost bin. My in-laws reduce kitchen bin odors and leakage mess by keeping a countertop bin in which they place ONLY paper towels and paper napkins. When that bin is full, they fill their under-counter bin with the paper wastes before adding food scraps. Those papers absorb the moisture from their kitchen waste. They don't backyard compost and I've noticed they never have a problem with fruit flies from their under-counter organics bin.
Cooking grease -- fats skimmed off broths and the like can be let to congeal in a container (like an empty tin can, then scraped into the compost bag.
Recycling is so messy. I'd rather just pay the fee
You'd rather throw your money away, eh? If that's truly your position, there's no reasoning with you. On the other hand, if you are simply adjusting to multiple bins, there are ways to deal with the mess of multiple recycling bins, waste cans, and organics bins.
Weekly pickup of both gray and blue bins is going to make a big difference in the messy factor. What we've done in our home to manage this mess is still applicable.
Have a central recycling location. If keeping all the recycling in a garage or outdoors is not an option for you, keep your large recycling bins at a central location indoors. Our basement works for this. In the bathrooms and kitchen we have small rubbermaid bins for recycling under our sinks. In our powder room, a small plastic sorting bin works to contain the small amount of recycling for that room (soap boxes, TP rolls, plastic wrappers). These small bins are taken to the large bins in the basement when full and sorted there. This is our youngest children's task. We use a single plastic shopping bag hung on a hook to place all the plastic bread and milk bags that accumulate. When it's full, it's tied and placed in the gray bin.
Remember to rinse all your recyclable containers. Empty cans, jars, and milk bags will create a stink and attract bugs or other pests. Keeping a small sorting bin under the kitchen sink makes this easy.
On another hook, we keep a narrow newspaper bag sleeve to collect batteries. When full enough, I drop it at any of the orange bins local to me (for me that's in a local pharmacy. For others this may be a roadside orange bin or Staples store location, among other places.) I used to hold onto these for up to a year waiting for the annual household hazardous waste recycling days, but orange bin distribution has eliminated the need for that wait. Using rechargeable batteries has also dramatically reduced our battery consumption as well.
Grass Clippings
Another change to note is that grass will no longer be collected with the green bin.
Grass is easily composted in your yard. If you don't have a mulching mower, reducing the days between mowings and raking out any accumulation will facilitate breakdown right on your lawn.
You can use grass clippings as mulch, too. Yes, you'll get some weed seeds in there but weeds can easily be pulled when they're young.
You can also put your grass clippings in your backyard composter. Read more...

Born Pretty Store has been kind enough to send through another batch of their wonderful water decals for me to try out and of course, I said yes straight away since the last batch was so superb!
Click here for my tutorial of their last batch of water decals. I used the same method and made sure that I whacked on two layers of top coat this time for extra security.
I'm just going to jump straight into the photos since I have nothing but awesome things to say about these water decals. You should definitely check them out in the link below (and stock up because they're incredibly affordable). LINK :)
Although I have to say that the colours on the website are not accurate at all. They actually have this muted, warmer vintage look, which is much nicer in my opinion. Here are the photos!

A light, cool dessert using seasonal fruits.
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cooking Time: 10 mins
Extra Time: 6 hrs
(or overnight, for refrigeration)
Lightly oil six wide coffee cups or one-cup capacity molds and dust lightly with half the sugar. Cut 12 round discs of bread to fit base and top of cups and slice the rest into strips to line the sides.
In a large saucepan, bring juice to boil, add apple and remaining sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for three minutes or until the apple is softened. Add berries and cook for about five minutes, gently pressing to release juices. Remove from heat, strain and reserve liquid.
Dip bread in liquid and line base and sides of cups, leaving no gaps. Divide fruit between cups, top with remaining bread and drizzle with any remaining liquid. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
To make yogurt sauce, whip yogurt, vanilla, milk and sugar in a blender or electric mixer until smooth. Purée the extra berries separately, until smooth.
To serve, unmold cups on to plates and surround with a ring of yogurt sauce. Place drops of berry purée on yogurt and make a swirl with a skewer or pointed knife.
To help turn out the puddings, line the mold with plastic wrap to help you release them when serving, then just peel away the plastic.

Haunt me.
I know
you'll keep me
in tow.
No laugh,
no guide,
no limp
So haunt me
'cause I know
you'll keep me
in tow.
If she's all
I need
to love
and breed.
then haunt me
'cause I'll know
you'll keep me
in tow.
You always jump and quiver
when you're coming in to land
with no runway, no guidance
no nails dug into my hand.
We could have whoever we want.
We could go back to school
and see the dead laugh again.
Let's get dressed up and pull.
The only benefit of drinking.
The downside of what we take.
Some weekends I feel
like I could always be awake.
A party in a strangers house.
Have we ever met the host?
Just smile and keep talking
and get your can for a toast.
We won't always be safe here
but this is where we reign.
Pull it tight to protect us.
We might never sleep again.

Thank you. :D
Once this semester is ended, I should have time to tidy up the translation I have made (mostly the Time of Eclipse), and hopefully I can get some more people to play it! :D

Thank you. :D
Hi, I translated one more EP chapter.

Hi everyone!
I would like to translate EP to Polish language, but... I'm totally editing newbie. What PDF-editing software do you use?
EDIT: Eh, i just see first problem, I don't have EP fonts. I'm trying to use Inkscape to editing, but lack of fonts makes results... unenjoyable.
Hi, it has been a long time. I translated the last EP chapter. Well, except Reference and tables, and I figure I need some finishing job...

Thx for info ;-) I use LibreOffice and Linux, but I cannot edit the files, so I created wiki:
I have translated only 1/4 of QuickRules ("Streszczenie zasad") and I don't know if I will be able to fast translate into Polish, due to my IETLS exam in May (I should mainly work on my writing and listening, not reading :-P) so progress can be slooow. But there is good thing about the wiki format - wikilinks between different books and hide/seek encrypted emails! :-D
[I also considered both OurProject and Wikia.com, but wikidot is the best for my purposes :-P]
Hi, I translated Summary and others materials, like Reference and Character Sheet. And I have done some finishing job, so I decide I have translated the whole corerule. Well, I didn't work on indexing, but what I have is more-than-1-dozen PDFs, not 1 book, so it is too labored...
Anyhow, these are the pdf and zipped file.

Ciao Chris.
Did you translated something else in Italian?
I am an Italian native speaker. I translated the equipment, background, faction, morph and some other stuff. I did it for some fast pdf to give to my player, so what I did is not 100% compliant :-)
Actually, on a blog I created, I'm traslating and posting some of the EP material in Italian.
It's a BIG job to translate everything but I am ready to do it if there is (or there will be) a team to work with.
I had fun creating new Italian words to translate EP neologisms :-D
il NeRo
The blog about the adventures of 4 Italian Sentinels
Good afternoon gentlemen.
I'm new here.
I just started to translate EP into Spanish using this website as a basis, as long as all the content seems to be very well uploaded, although without the art:
And the works of a previous translator who began with the Quickstart rules:
You'll find here my wikispace where I'll be uploading everything:
From here, I encourage everybody that wrote before me to keep working on their translations and thank the authors for this great game and for the CC license.
Best regards from Spain.
Dear Phasers.
I hame question about official polish translation. I know you have some kind of "lawpaper" with the prospective publisher. Does this bill make impossible to translate EP by group of internet-connected people, not connected to any particular law-entity? I ask, because I do not fully trust the guys. They translated Eclipse Phase as "Faza Zaćmienia", which is pretty dumb and covers only the most literaly translation (as a phase of moon). They also "will publish something on progress at the beginning of 2013 year". YEAH, they did.
I am just not sure about it. As you know, I tried to translate, but it was so much to do and alone I was unable. Month or two ago I discovered Facebook (I just know what is the "Networking" skill :-D) and I wonder if I would gather some people and translate EP openly...
[We, Poles, have some kind of French linguistic sensitivity - what's worst, we have also a tradition of messed up translations with "funny" terms. I am afraid that if Galmadrin will do the book, we will always be bond to use "funny" terms... and in term of EP I would prefer the biggest quality]
Kaworu: All of the licensing contracts we sign with foreign language publishers require them to release the translation under a Creative Commons license, just as we do. There is nothing preventing a group of fans from doing their own net-based translation project. That said, have you tried getting in touch with Galmadrin and letting them know your concerns, perhaps offer to help out with the translation? We don't have any control over their translation process, and since we don't speak Polish ourselves we don't have a great way to really vet the translation work, but the publisher may be open to feedback. I know some French fans were unhappy with some of the terms that were produced when Black Book first translated EP into French, but BB listened and reworked the translation and everyone came out a bit happier. I'm sure translating a book like EP, with a lot of jargon and scientific terminology, is not an easy project.
Rob Boyle :: Posthuman Studios
Yes, I suppose you are right, it's not easy project. Yet, my concerns about Polish name are shared by almost everyone who is interested in EP. I saw Polish logo of EP, so they treat the name seriously. I send them one email today, but I have to say, there is little transparency in what they are doing. During last 4 months they were concentrated on Cthulhu Gaslight and do not published any new piece of info (even if they promised). I am afraid they gonna translate the title the way they do.
Also, there is no information on who is the translator and how particular terms are translated. We had some publishers who consulted community in the matter, but this time people know nothing.
[I have heard a rumor and jokes that they wanna people to translate for them, but they were not gonna share profits with them and imagined they would be doing some kind of voluntary job... I do not know if it's true, but the atmosphere around the firm is one of doubt and irony.
I have a little forum thought-exchange with some guys and everyone was like "go ahead, do not bother yourself with Galmadrin" - I think this is a good example of thrust put in the publisher by community]
Oh, by the way – they have "we'll publish soon" section on their page, there are two logos, but no EP logo, which also makes situation ambiguous. Don't any of you know something about progress in Polish translation, because we were promised to know more in... January?
I haven't checked in with them lately, so I'm not sure of their progress, but I will send them a message.
Rob Boyle :: Posthuman Studios
Galmadrin says they're still working on the translation. They seem open to fan input, so hopefully they'll get back to you. They mentioned that they will probably just keep the name "Eclipse Phase" as well.
Rob Boyle :: Posthuman Studios
Yes, I know ;-) It seems to be one crazy misunderstanding and seriously, I am very ashamed. Long story short:
- I send them an email, but nobody would write me back because nobody was in office
- They faster answered to me on third-party forum bacause of coincidence and I took it as some kind of disrespect
- What's worst, my privacy settings made it for them impossible to answer me as fast as they would like even on the forum, so after 5 attempts they send me only very short message, which I again took as disrespect
- It seems they really are open to comments, just had some other project recently
I'm just a big fool with hot head and aching tooth. Shame, huh?
Hey there everyone,
there is an official Polish translation coming from Galmadrin, but I'm a hot-head and I can't wait to play EP in my native tongue; therefore, I created a few helps: a Polish character sheet (based on the one core rulebook one, b&w, a bit modified rep section to be more clear for my *Polish* players), basic terminology from the core rulebook translated into Polish AND the hacking cheat sheet created by Voidstate (kudos for letting me post it here).
These are NOT official translations, but there are many Polish players who probably can't wait to get their tentacles on the official translation, so it might come in handy during those difficult months before it's finally out.
Any suggestions are welcome, especially concerning the terminology (there are a few terminological cul-de-sacs I can't seem to find appropriate translations for).
It seems that the official project to translate the game into Polish by Galmadrin is pretty much dead, so we are back to the drawing board.
I am willing to do some of the work on behalf of the fanbase, and I have already translated the Character Sheet using the InDesign files provided in the resources page; still, are there any IDD files available for the Quick Start Rules set, or any other way to edit the actual files? Is it possible to obtain those? Everything without compromising the CC license, obviously.
Hello zombiak,
I have translated EP QSR into simplified Chinese and I am currently working on a revised version (adding a glossary, fixing some typos, stuffs like that). When creating the translated PDF, I use Scribus most of the time and GIMP occasionally, both of which are open source software. As for the portraits, landscapes and background pictures, Sumatra PDF in Windows and Okular in Linux can pick out and save them for you.
Hope that helps you!
Hi there, I'm the new official French translator for Black Book Éditions. I just finished translating Glory (had some trouble with the "monkey puzzle" part ;) ) and I am now in the middle of Sunward.
I use C.A.T. tools to work (OmegaT, sometimes Trados, which can't use PDFs) and will soon run into a problem: I can't find anywhere a text (or html, or epub) file of the next book in line: Gatecrashing.
Hello everyone,
I have updated the Eclipse Phase QSR in Simplified Chinese. You can download the new PDF here:
This revised version has three features:
Besides, if you can read Chinese, maybe you would be interested in the following post.
I have translated the introduction on DriveThru RPG for five Eclipse Phase products into Chinese:
Hope you will enjoy it!
Hi, the character sheet and quick start rules links in spanish are broken, please re-upload the files, I really need them!
Thank you.
Hello Hanimor.
I have the Quick Starting Rules translated to Spanish (by Alberto Camargo), uploaded to my wikispace for the translation. You can download them here:
I'm affraid I don't have the Character Sheet.
Hola Hanimor
Yo tengo las Reglas de Inicio Rápido traducidas al español (por Alberto Camargo) subidas al wikispace donde voy traduciendo. Puedes descargarlas de aquí:
Me temo que no tengo la Hoja de Personaje.
Hello and cześć,
I started a project to translate the essential portions of EP sourcebooks into Polish. It is located at http://eclipse.forseti.pl . I chose the form of wiki because it allows ease of editing and interconnecting the articles. By "essential portions" I mean the ones that allow new player to get a grasp on the setting, understand it. Also I intend to use it as a reference to my campaigns ("I ask my Muse" = "search the wiki") so there will be morph and gear listing for example.
Also I'm introducing non-canon elements into EP universum - mainly from Jacek Dukaj's books, "Takeshi Kovacs" trilogy by Richard Morgan and "GURPS Transhuman Space". That elements are clearly marked as non-canon, it's impossible to confuse it with canon material (just check http://goo.gl/tbtpyu in contrast to home page)
As for translation, I've seen Zombiak's work and it influenced my translation. However in many cases I deviated from it, devised my own translations based on literature I know and vocabulary that woud elicit correct feeling about the world. Examples:
"Barsoomians" => "Fremeni" ("Fremens") - in Poland the "Princess of Mars" is little known and I expect it would stay that way. However "Dune" is quite known and so "Fremens" carry much more meaning than "Barsoomians"
"Clanking masses" => "Szmelcen-proletariat" ("Junken-proletariat") - in Polish all my attempts to gracefully translate into believable phrase failed - either it was too long, too complicated or just sounds strange (too much nasals). So I used something connected with a junk and class of poor laborers that also reminds of "lumpenproletariat". Informal would be "zlomasy" ("scrap-masses", but also very similar to a Polish swear word)
"Flat" => "StaHS/Normals" - the former is from "Perfect Imperfection" by Jacek Dukaj, stands for "standard Homo Sapiens" and denotes humans clinging to bodily form (in contrast to PHoeBes, post-human beings). I know that it's formal, so I expect that colloquially something like "normalsi" ("normals", common calque from English but "normalny" is common Polish word) would be used.
I'm writing about translation to give you impression on how I deviate from original and ask for your opinion on such practices. Is it OK to do so or is it just too much creativity on my side? Can I do such thing under CC license?
Los nuevos conceptos de ciencia ficción a los que se refiere Eclipse Phase puede ser bastante densos.Aquí tienes 10 cosas que deberías saber para entender su ambientación.
Tus experiencias y personalidad son llamadas Ego y pueden ser descargadas y usadas como un archivo de ordenador. Esta información está contenida en un implante llamada pila cortical. Si mueres, la pila puede ser usada en un nuevo cuerpo. Si la pila no puede ser recuperada. aún podrían restaurar tu personalidad por una copia de seguridad desactualizada que hayas guardado en otra parte.
Tu cuerpo es llamado Morfo. Hay tres tipos de de morfos: biomorfos, sintemorfos e infomorfos. Los biomorfos son cuerpos biológicos creados en probetas y mejoradas genéticamente para erradicar la mayoría las enfermedades que conocemos hoy. Los sintemorfos son cuerpos mecánicos y pueden tener formas desde una libélula robótica hasta un gran tanque aracnoide. Los infomorfos sólo existen en la malla. Introducir un Ego en un Morfo se llama enfundarse.
La Malla es bastante más que la internet del mañana. Probablemente tengas un Inserto de malla que te permite conectarte de forma inalámbrica. Puedes hacer búsquedas en la Malla sólo pensando y es parte imprescindible de tu vida diaria para todo, desde para blogear hasta para para jugar. Como en la red actual, puede ralentizarse ocasionalmente.
Tienes un asistante personal llamado Musa. Es una Inteligencia Artificial limitada que puede realizar búsquedas en la malla, concertar citas en tu calendario o incluso pedir una receta si te duele la cabeza sin necesidad que hagas nada.
La humanidad ha conseguido fabricar cualquier cosas a nivel molecular mediante la nanofabricación. ¿Te gustan esos zapatos? Sólo necesitas conseguir la plantilla e imprimirte una copia. Las impresoras son llamadas cornucopias y las hay de varios modelos. Algunos modelos sólocrean comida y bebida, otros pueden fabricar naves espaciales si tienen suficiente tiempo y material.
La humanidad ya no vive en la Tierra. Tenemos colonias en la Luna, Marte, Venus, Júpiter y en un muchos otros lugares. No disponemos de viaje Más Rápido que la Luz (MRL) así que toma bastante tiempo viajar físicamente a los diversos hábitats del Sistema Solar. En la mayoría de los casos, simplemente transmites tu Ego al lugar de destino y alquilas un Morfo.
La humanidad ha mejorado a algunos animales, como los cuervos y los pulpos, para que llegen a niveles de inteligencia humana. Son llamados animales ascendidos.
La humanidad creó Inteligencias Artificiales masivas (IA) llamadas TITANs para defender la Tierra. La humanidad creó también realizar para otras múltiples tareas a las Inteligencias Artificiales Generales (IAG), que están artificialmente limitadas en sus capacidades.
La humanidad entró en guerra con las TITANs. Durante más de un año, la humanidad combatió con uñas y dientes contra sus propios sistemas de defensa. Después de casi cometer un genocidio completo contra la raza humana, las TITANs simplemente desaparecieron llevándose una cantidad desconocida de Egos con ellas. La Tierra fue dejada inhabitable casi por completo. La humanidad ahora busca continua viviendo allí donde puede. Quedan alrededor de 1 billón de humanos supervivientes.
Por último, Eclipse Phase usa la licencia Creative Commons. Puedes descagar una copia gratis si lo deseas. Si te gusta el juego y quieres recompensar a sus escritores, puedes comprar una copia en tu tienda de juegos (lo que es preferido por los autores porque ellos consiguen dinero y porque permite que sigan existiendo esas tiendas), o puedes comprar los PDF en www.drivethrurpg.com.
Espero que te guste el juego y pregúntame más si tienes cualquier duda.
alguien tiene el libro basico en pdf para descargar
Dear friends :)
My project of translating EP into Polish is still progressing, albeit slowly. Currently, I have a small problem - in the table for ammunition in the gear chapter there is an abbreviation AV ("AV doubled" in AP [armor penetration] section). What does AV stands for?
Also, I'm predicting that this year I will have enough Core Book translated to publish QSR :D Yay :D
Dear friends :)
What does AV stands for?
AV = Armor Value
I gave up with my project of translating E.P. in Italian. Too much work and too many neologisms in this game. Keep them or translate them?
I translated some parts (augmentations, weapons, favors, 80% of equipments) but now I'm busy playing and enjoying the game :-)
il NeRo
The blog about the adventures of 4 Italian Sentinels
Hi folks! Just informing you on the progress of my translation.
So far I translated the whole of QSR (yaaaaay!) and EP mainbook chapters on skills, gear and character creation. This is an upside.
Downside: I am no longer publishing the translation on Polter.pl. Since end of 2016 I created 5 pieces of translations for them and no one of them was published to this day. I was always willing to wait one month for semi-professional edition they gave me for free, but it is simply too much. The last part of QSR (only the character sheets - it was really short) was there for a month and still no publication - even though the head of RPG section asked for swift works. So yeah...
[Also, Polter is a dying portal and does not have as many users as it used to - and most of them are meanies and trolls. It's better for my mental health if I am not there.]
So what's now? I will wait some month until I will get my economic rent from ZUS (I am a disabled person) and then I will buy a new laptop. Currently, I have a PC with Linux and LibreOffice, they have hidden some options, others I simply cannot use. With Win/MS Office I should be able to create quite easy a nice-looking PDF and publish it on my GoogleDrive so people could download it.
So, in short, my translation of QSR should be up in the next 2-3 months. Till that time I will try to translate more mainbook and gather all my translations in one file - currently, they are cut into pieces according to Polter publications.
Okay, so today I finally finished my work on QSR in Polish :D Here goes the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j354ufscyd4xqcm/AADUlnh9T0PFX_KMs1Ytxybka?dl=0
It's available in PDF as well as in RTF so it should be usable on every kind of computer :D
I would be pleased if you would add the link to translations sections on your website :)
[Sorry for the double post, I hope it's alright? ;-)]
If you post this on google docs I would be able to proof read this and suggest corrections.
Jeżeli wrzucisz to na google docs, będę mógł zasugerować poprawki ;-)
Exurgents wanna eat your ass and you are low on ammo? Register to mobile gear catalogue at eldrich.host.mesh! ORDER NOW! FOR FREE PLASMA MINIMISSILE PACK! *explosive delivery options included
Hm, alternatively I can :) I just remember that someone posted some EP material on Dropbox (I ed HTML version?) so I wanted too :)
Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-0else9JEukbkFzclhCTnVKNTQ?usp=sharing
But honestly, I do not think this particular file needs to be "fixed", it got an approval of editors from Polter.pl (they are included in credits). However, it is quite possible that when I will be translating EP2 (when it comes out, obviously) I will need some linguistic help. Maybe I will ask for in on FB? :P
Unless you are willing? ;-) But that's plans for the future... :)
I all.
I've translated both "Continuity" and "The Devotees" into Spanish.
PDFs are shared in the Google+ community "Eclipse Phase en castellano". https://plus.google.com/communities/113370120660572462486
It's just an amateur translation, so there can be errors. Feel free to share and contact me if you think there's something that should be corrected.
In this same community, two more guys and myself are translating "Transhuman" (Though we know it won't be compatible with the second edition). Stay tuned for further news.
Que bien! Me encantalo!! Y ahora yo se que es 'airlock'.
Hay un error en el original con la mapa. Los cuartos dos y tres son invertido. Porque usted esta traduciendola, puede corrieglo, y ahora tiene un version superior del original!
(*note: after five years, my Spanish is still awful. Apologies if it is awful to the point of offense!)
Que bien! Me encantalo!! Y ahora yo se que es 'airlock'.
Hay un error en el original con la mapa. Los cuartos dos y tres son invertido. Porque usted esta traduciendola, puede corrieglo, y ahora tiene un version superior del original!
En cual de ambos modulos y en que mapa concreto? Si me lo especificas lo reviso y corrijo.
Dices que el error ya estaba en el original? no lo habia detectado, gracias!
Por cierto, tu español es bastante aceptable... ;)
Continuity, Pagina 6, cuartos 2 y 3. La bahia medica is lo mas lejo. Los PCs necesitan caminar por medio de los laboratorios al jardin central.

Homemade Lip Balm Kits
If you looking for a super easy and fun project to create, then look no further than the Natures Garden homemade lip balm kits! This kit provides all the ingredients and products that you will need to create and package two ounces of lip balm. Not only is everything included, but the kit comes with simple and short directions. Also, the kit uses a premade lip balm base, which means that there won't be too much that you will need to mix. While you won't need to combine the various oils, you will have the chance to pick your lip tint shade, your preferred flavoring, and texture. This provides you with some opportunity to make your lip balm product unique to your particular taste! Whether you are just looking for some guidance in creating your first homemade lip balm, wanting a fun craft to create, or needing a creative gift to give to someone that enjoys crafting, you will find this kit to be absolutely perfect.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Products to Get from Natures Garden
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Included with the Kit
2 oz. of All Natural Lip Balm Base
Mica Pigment (either 24K Gold or Diamond Dust)
White Lip Balm Tubes with Caps
10 ml Clear Lip Balm Pots with Lids (either white, black, or clear lids)
White Lip Balm Pots or Daisy Lip Balm Pots
6 mL Bottles of Flavoring Oils (flavor will vary between kits)
6 mL Bottle of Liquid Lip Tint Coloring (color will vary between kits)
Step by Step Instructions for Making the Homemade Lip Balm Kits
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Other Materials Needed
A Medium Bowl
A Microwave
A Spoon
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Amounts Needed
2 oz of Natural Lip Balm Base
Small Amount of Mica Pigment
2 Lip Balm Tubes with Caps
3 10 mL Lip Balm Containers
3 6 mL Clear Lip Balm Pots with Lids
Either 4 white lip balm pots or 6 daisy lip balm pots
3 Transfer Pipets
A fourth of the Powdered Stevia Sweetener Packet
6 mL of the flavoring oils (either all of one bottle or half of each flavoring)
Portion of the 6 mL Bottle of Lip Tint
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Melting the Lip Balm Base
First, we are going to melt the lip balm base. Take the lid off of the lip balm base jar that you've been given. Now, put the jar without the lid into your microwave. You will want to heat your lip balm base in increments of 30 seconds. After this small amount of time, take the jar out and determine if it needs another 30 seconds. At this time, stir the lip balm base. Then, if needed, put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. The time that you will need to microwave will depend on the strength of your particular microwave. Once all of the lip balm base is liquid you will be ready for the next step.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Tinting Your Lip Balm Base
Next, you will add the lip tint to your melted lip balm base. The color of your lip balm tint will vary between different kits, so you may not get the same shade each time. However, in the kits used for this blog, we had the Prissy Pink Lip Tint. You will want to add several drops of the lip tint with one of your provided pipettes. If you want a lighter shade, then add fewer drops. If you want to create a darker shade, then you may want to add quite a few more drops of the colorant. You can add a few drops and mix it quickly to decide on the shade. Since it will dry slightly different color you can place a drop on a paper plate and see the shade you will get in the end. Overall, the amount of lip tint that you add depends on your own personal preference.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Optional Sweetening Step
Now, you have the option to add in some powdered stevia sweetener. If you want your lip balm to be a bit of a gritty texture similar to a lip scrub, then you will want to include this step in your process. The added sweetener will not dissolve and will be suspended in your mixture. Those that would like to create this lip scrub sort of texture, will want to add a fourth of the packet into your mixture. If you are dividing your mixture into two portions, then you will want to add about an eighth to either one or each of your mixtures. However, if you don't want any lip scrub feeling you don't have to add the sweetener at all.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Flavoring the Lip Balm Base
Then, you are going to add the lip balm flavoring to your mixture. There are two different ways you can do this step. Either split your mixture into two or make all of the lip balm products the same. If you are keeping your mixture in one bowl, then you will want to pick one of your two flavorings. Add the entire 6 ml bottle of your chosen flavoring to your lip balm base mixture. Now, mix and you are ready for the next step. However, you can use a bit of both if you're are indecisive or like each of your flavorings equally. If you are using both, then you will want to split your mixture in half into two different bowls. In one add half of your first flavoring and in the other bowl add half of the second flavoring. Now, mix a both of your bowls.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Shimmer and Shine
Next, it is time to add a bit of mica dust to make your lip balm sparkly and pretty! Either take your single batch or your divided batch and add some of the dust. Depending on how sparkly you want it to be, you can add more or less. You don't need to add all of the mica powder given in your kit, but adding quite a bit shouldn't hurt your finished product.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Adding the Lip Balm to the Containers
Finally, you are going to add the lip balm mixture to your various lip balm tubes and pots. If you have one single batch, take one of your clean pipettes to transfer the lip balm to the containers. You may want to be quick as your lip balm may start to set up. On the other hand, those that have divided their mix into two parts can use the pipettes that were used for the flavoring to transfer the mixture to the containers.
Homemade Lip Balm Kits Using Your Lip Balm
Now, just let the homemade lip balm set up at room temperature. It will setup pretty quickly and be ready to use soon! Once they setup, place a lid on each container or lip balm tube. You can now use your lip balm. Simply spread a little bit of your lip balm on your lips. We hope that you enjoy our homemade lip balm kit. Once you make your lip balm, we'd love to see pictures. Post your finished products on our Facebook Page. You can also tag us on our Twitter or Instagram pages @ngscents.

As many of us have seen, the predominant literature in many educational publications recently has been about the Common Core, and most specifically, around ELA and non- fiction texts. As I prepare to enter my 20th year in education, I am astounded by the groups which continue to promote the "pendulum effect" for our teachers. Those would be the extremists that cry, "All reading in the Common Core era must be non-fiction, no more fictional texts".
I wonder if some of us…Continue

text: Mickie James Discusses Knockouts, Music, More The RCWR Show January 8, 2013 News Former WWE Diva and current TNA Knocut Mickie James recently did a interview with Fighters Magazine. During the interview, she talked about the TNA UNK Tour, upcoming EP, and wrestling career. Here's some highlights from the Mickie James interview: Mickie James on whether she's still learning: "The day I stop learning in the ring is the day I should quit. You learn every day you go out there; there is always something to learn. That was something that was told to me a long time ago from one of the greats, Rickie Steamboat, he said 'you will never stop learning.' It has proved to be true. There have been times I've gone out there and completely by accident gone 'Oh… that wasn't what I intended, but that was pretty cool' or, of course, there have been times that it hasn't worked at all, which is another learning experience. But it's fun, especially when you get to interact with their styles. It can sometimes evolve into something awesome…that I'll steal and use on TV, I mean what? [laughs] no I'm just kidding." Mickie James on who's been influential on her career: "There are tons of people. Men and women alike. Obviously the stars that I idolized growing up: the Sensational Sherri's, the Ricky Steamboat's, the Randy Savage's, they were my all time favorites along with Shawn Michaels. To actually get to meet some of those people and learn from them, and their stories, picking their brain for a little bit of advice, that is a true honor. To meet your idols, and to have them praise you and tell you to keep at it…it's pretty awesome to be able to do that. Of course there are people who have never been on television, we just kind of grew up together in the wrestling circuit that helped me along, in those early breaking matches that were…just god awful. I mean there are some I will go back and watch through my fingers because they are just so bad." Mickie James on the current TNA Knockouts division: "Well, there's a lack of Mickie James. It's cool, change is always inevitable and its part of the growing curve of the industry. With change comes new adversary's and storylines and character development. Who knows what's next." Music career: "I released my first album in 2010, and went back in the studio earlier this year to record an E.P of six songs. But we've kind of been picked up, so we're in the process of just going back into the studio to finish the album, we'll release a single later this year and January for the album. I've just signed with E1 music, and have them behind me and supporting me in this whole thing, you know…I'm starting to see the light, you know what I mean? I can see it starting to come into fruition. It's just been constant working at it, and it's obviously still baby steps, but this new album is slammin'. Even I can sit back and listen to it and go 'wow' this is awesome. From the musicians, to the producers, we have some of the best players in the world, it's going to be awesome and I can't wait to share it with everybody. I know I'm a country girl, but this is southern rockin' country… I just hope that people love it. So hopefully that should be out in January, and we're looking to coincide with the TNA tour when we come back. Who knows, I might do a CD release party when I'm back over here. We're in talks to try and work all those things out…I'm just really excited about it." On the go and won't be able to catch our Impact Wrestling coverage on Impact Showdown Radio?

Campaigning against the influence of creationism in the UK Science Classroom

An admission that the global flood is a myth? Or perhaps one of his less bright marketing people letting the cat out of the bag?
Then Kenny boy himself manages to shoot himself in the foot with this one:
"If one stands back and looks at evolution carefully, one realizes its an absurd story-it goes against science-it's a fairy tale--a religion"..........so ignoring for the moment that Kenny completely fails to understand evolution......he appears to be equating religion with fairy tales.

Probably because Ken Ham and co deny FACTS (even when the reputation of Genesis isn't at stake) including the fact of around 0.5 C of world warming since around then. Nothing whatsoever to do with so-called 'worldview'.

Supposedly leaked pictures of what's claimed to be the next iPhone would appear to back up rumors that the soon-to-be-released handset will recognize its owner's fingerprint, Mac Rumors reports.
The unconfirmed photos, which were posted by Chinese site C Technology, feature the exterior of some iPhone-like packaging, including what looks like a photo of the new device. If this is the new iPhone, it appears largely unchanged in appearance, except for the presence of a gray or metallic ring around the "home" button.
The apparent newly designed button would lend support to buzz that the new iPhone would include a sensor allowing it to recognize the fingerprint of its owner in order to reduce the need to enter passwords by hand.

|Raid Dungeonse
- Leading a raid can be like herding cats, but by the graces, they're your cats. - Stylean Silversteel, TCG
Raid groups are a way to have parties of more than 5 and up to 40 people, divided into up to 8 groups of up to 5 players. The terms "raid" and "raiding" primarily and traditionally refer to PVE raid-specific instances and zones. As party leader, a player can convert their group into a raid group by accessing the "Social" Panel, selecting "Raid", and choosing "Convert Group to Raid." From then on, any new players invited to the group will join the raid group (up to a maximum of 40). This requires at least 2 people (IE a party). A person alone cannot form a raid group.
While in a raid group, players do not receive credit for completing quest objectives unless the quest calls for a raid. Players also receive an experience reduction for any mob killed while in a raid group. These are to prevent players from creating very large groups in order to complete normal quests or other game content intended for parties of 5 or fewer. This experience reduction is simply that the usual "group XP bonus" is not applied while in a raid group.
Many instances requiring a raid are also subject to a raid timer.
In CataclsymThis section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
As of Patch 4.3.2, players can use Real ID to form cross-realm raids, but not with normal or heroic Dragon Soul.[1]
In Wrath of the Lich KingThis section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.
In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, all 25-player raids are also available to complete with 10 players. This is so that more players will get to see end game content. Even the Lich King encounter is available as a 10 player raid.[2]
Raiding as end-game content
Raids are designed as activities for people whose characters have reached the maximum level. As the game does not permit further increase of skills, or introduce new abilities, the only avenues remaining to enhance a character lay in "better gear".
Almost all raid events and bosses require that the raid members have particular levels of gear and skill, expressed as dps, damage mitigation, and/or healing ability. In addition, a majority of such bosses also require the group use particular, sometimes unique tactics. While occasionally those tactics mirror those used by smaller groups, they often require things that smaller groups simply don't have the diversity to do.
Given these unique requirements, most raid boss encounters require some amount of practice to defeat. Sometimes the peculiarities of a boss encounter are such that being vastly overgeared/overlevel will not permit the raid to ignore the designed tactics.
Raiding guilds are guilds that devote some or all of their collective time to playing in raid instances, defeating (or practicing to defeat) raid encounters. They have the advantage of being able to get to know the abilities (or lack thereof) of their various members, and adjust their tactics accordingly. They also have a shared investment in the success of not just that raid, but future raids as well, a feature that "pick up raids" lack.
Raiding guilds often use additional measures to enhance their chances of success, notably Voice_over_Internet_Protocol software, and particular addons that provide timing, threat, and other services not available in the base WoW client.
Raiding guilds and time commitment
There is some academic discussion about the concept of raids as they currently are designed in major graphical MMOs, primarily centered on how much of a player's time they consume. A typical World of Warcraft raid can take 3-4 hours once the group is able to complete it, and can take much more time over many sessions to get to that point. Basically, that it can take up as much of one's time as permitted. Generally, though, practical considerations (work/school schedules, fatigue, etc) will place limits on how much time a group spends raiding.
There are, of course, extreme examples, such as a Final Fantasy XI raid that lasted 18 hours before they decided to quit.[3]. World of Warcraft mitigates such long boss fights by adding enrage timers to bosses to ensure that a single fight does not last too long.
Given the amount of time involved to be successful, there are some game developers and academics that feel that raiding can be a focus for obsession, impacting a person's ability to care about real life goals and accomplishments.[4] Players should be aware of these factors when deciding if they want to get into raiding or to what extent they want to get into raiding.
Starting a raid
The leader of a party can convert the group to a raid by clicking the "Convert to Raid" button in the Group window. At this point it becomes a "group of parties" with up to 8 parties, each with 5 characters. The leader of the raid can drag characters between groups to move them to different parties; typically, this is done to achieve some strategic goal such as distributing shamans and paladins to share totems and auras or warriors with rogues for Battle Shout (note that this is no longer needed in current patch). The leader can promote other characters, which gives them the abilities to invite and kick from the raid and also use the broadcast raid warnings (using the "/rw" command).

Don't tell anyone this… but when I was a teenager I was very VERY into reading fantasy-genre-ed books. You know, the kind of books with incredible pictures on the cover (often including shiny stuff and semi-popup people), maps on the first 14 pages and of course every second character having an unpronounceable name, with bonus points for weird accents on letters.
I don't know why I liked them so much. I got an early start when I was seven and I was presented with a copy of The Lord of the Rings. I could barely lift it with one hand. After using it to press flowers and keep the door open and block the space under my bed to avoid evil clowns from crawling in there, I read it about a year later and kind of enjoyed it. I liked the Hobbit better, and it was years before I figured out that my main problem with it was that I'd tried to read all 550 pages of the introduction. I was eight, I wanted swords and weird spells and people falling down cliffs*. I also figured out the handy trick to reading it – if you see something formatted as song lyrics or poetry, skip three pages and you'll be at the re-commencement of the actual storyline. Works like a charm!
Thinking back on it as I sat on a rock today, waiting for the drizzle to stop in the hope of a cold and miserable reptile emerging, I thought about al of the things that I like about it. I mean logically, living somewhere with no technology (as we would define it) has to be horrible. I can't go for more than half an hour without checking my email (and that's on a good day), plus people didn't really do the whole showering thing often before the introduction of indoor plumbing. Speaking of indoor plumbing – I remember being in the world's smallest town one December while hunting mole-rats and i needed a bathroom and there was a longdrop at the church and… I'm shuddering at the memory**. Imagine doing that all the time!
Not to mention my inner feminist freaking out at the way women were treated back in the day (although you can always pick a book where the girl saves the day – although she invariably had to dress up as a guy to get away with saving the world).
On the plus side there's usually magic – a more substantial than the pick-a-card magic we get in the real world. Although that's a bit unfair because there's never a case where everyone has it – I guess otherwise it would be mundane and not worth writing a multi-part series on.
Would you like to live in a fantasy world? I get the feeling that it's a good idea, but might be a little less fun in practise.
*kind of like my life now, but with added magic.
**in the desert there are no sizeable trees or bushes (unless you count the ones at the cemetery. Kind of disturbing how well the trees grow around the graves…).

Ohio State Ends UC's Tournament Run
Bearcats Let 2nd Half Lead Slip Away
When Cincinnati got careless with the ball, it threw away its chance to advance to the NCAA East regional final.
The team that began the night with 10.7 turnovers per game, 15th fewest in the nation, committed 18 in its 81-66 loss to Ohio State on Thursday. And seven of those came after the Bearcats had turned a 37-25 halftime deficit into a 52-48 lead with 11:34 to go.
"We got down early, made a tremendous comeback," Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. "At the end of the day, we didn't take care of the basketball. ... With 18 turnovers, we really just gave ourselves no chance."
Aaron Craft led the Buckeyes with six steals, three of them in a span of 4 1-2 minutes after Cincinnati had taken that four-point lead.
"They had 20 points in nine minutes and were shooting 80 percent, and some of that goes to them," Craft said. "But we didn't play defense like we did in the first half. We did a great job of sticking together and getting stops."
Too often, the Bearcats stopped themselves.
"We were overdribbling the ball," said Cashmere Wright, who led them with 18 points but had three turnovers.
Jared Sullinger scored 23 points with 11 rebounds and Ohio State turned back Cincinnati's last charge with a 17-1 run to advance to the NCAA regional finals for the first time since 2007.
"We've got two types of basketball teams: We've got the cool guys and then the blue-collar guys," Sullinger explained. "I thought to start the second half we got into the cool-guy mode and we kind of let our guard down. ... I mean, we just came out and decided to be cool guys, and they came out and they stung us, and then we got ourselves back into another basketball game."
Deshaun Thomas scored 26 points for the second-seeded Buckeyes (30-7), who will play Syracuse at the TD Garden on Saturday. Craft added 11 points - all in the second half - with five assists, taking charge during the second-half run that turned a four-point deficit into a double-digit lead.
Sean Kilpatrick had 15 for the No. 6 seeded Bearcats, who were attempting to match Big East rival Syracuse by beating a Big Ten opponent to advance to the East Regional finals. The top-seeded Orange advanced earlier Thursday by beating fourth-seeded Wisconsin 64-63.
Wearing fluorescent orange shoelaces and piping on their jerseys, Cincinnati (26-11) fell behind by 12 at the half before going on a 19-4 run early in the second. The Bearcats led 52-48 with 11:34 to play when Buckeyes coach Thad Matta called a timeout and ripped into his team.
In the first half, Kilpatrick said, the Buckeyes "were getting a lot of second chance points on rebounds. When the second half came, we were crashing the boards a lot more."
Ohio State allowed just one free throw over the next 5½ minutes.
That effectively ended the season for Cincinnati, which fought its way back into prominence after a Dec. 10 brawl with crosstown rival Xavier.
The Musketeers, who were unbeaten and No. 8 in the nation at the time, lost their top three scorers and then five of their next six games. But Cincinnati, which fell to 5-3 with the 23-point loss at Xavier, won 10 of its next 11 games despite using a four-guard offense made necessary by the six-game suspensions of Yancy Gates and center Cheikh Mbodj.
The Bearcats reached the final of the Big East tournament and beat Texas and Florida State in the NCAAs to reach the regional semifinals for the first time since 2001.
"We've come a long way. I take a lot of pride in that. Nothing's been given to us," Cronin said. "In the Big East, rebuilding a program has been a tough chore the last 10 years."
The Buckeyes led Cincinnati by five when Thomas hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Ohio State scored 10 of the last 13 points in the half to open a 37-25 lead. But Cincinnati opened the second half with a run of its own, tying it 41-all on JaQuon Parker's baby hook shot in the lane.
The Bearcats led 52-48 on Gates' three-point play with 11:34 left. But Ohio State scored 17 of the next 18 points to put it away.

Cyber Threat 2013 Live On Your Devices
(Mark Huffman ConsumerAffairs) The Internet has become more sophisticated over the years and so have the threats to users. Today, hackers are doing more than sending out infected spam emails -- they're exploiting the system's vulnerabilities to threaten consumers.
Experts at Georgia Tech -- the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC) and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) -- constantly work to stay one step ahead of the hackers. They say the coming year will pose some steep challenges.
Here are some threats they say consumers should be aware of:
Cloud-based botnets
The ability to create vast, virtual computing resources will further persuade cyber criminals to look for ways to co-opt cloud-based infrastructure for their own ends. For example, attackers can use stolen credit card information to purchase cloud computing resources and create dangerous clusters of temporary virtual attack systems.
Search history poisoning
Cyber criminals will continue to manipulate search engine algorithms and other automated mechanisms that control what information you see when you do a search. Moving beyond typical search-engine poisoning, researchers believe that manipulating users' search histories may be a next step in ways that attackers use legitimate resources for illegitimate gains.
Mobile browser and mobile wallet vulnerabilities
This, unfortunately, may be a fertile growth area for scammers. While only a very small number of U.S. mobile devices show signs of infection, the explosive proliferation of smartphones will continue to tempt attackers in exploiting user and technology-based vulnerabilities, particularly with the browser function and digital wallet apps.
Malware counteroffensive
Unfortunately, your anti-virus software may prove less effective against emerging threats. The developers of malicious software will employ various methods to hinder malware detection, such as hardening their software with techniques similar to those employed in Digital Rights Management (DRM), and exploiting the wealth of new interfaces and novel features on mobile devices.
"Our adversaries, whether motivated by monetary gain, political/social ideology or otherwise, know no boundaries, making cyber security a global issue," said Bo Rotoloni, director of GTRI's Cyber Technology and Information Security Laboratory. "Our best defense on the growing cyber warfront is found in cooperative education and awareness, best-of-breed tools and robust policy developed collaboratively by industry, academia and government."
The bottom line, say the Georgia Tech experts, is users must keep their guard up in the coming year.

City, Port announce land purchase for ballpar
City awaits funding from Department of Employment and Economic Development to begin construction
The Saint Paul Port Authority announced today that it has signed a purchase agreement to buy the old Diamond Products site / Gillette Building, the site of the future Lowertown Regional Ballpark. The Port Authority and the City of Saint Paul will discuss next steps regarding a land swap with Midway Stadium. The purchase of the site is a critical step forward to build the Lowertown Regional Ballpark.
"This is an exciting day for the City of Saint Paul and the Lowertown neighborhood," Mayor Chris Coleman said. "With a purchase agreement in place, we can put people to work as soon as we receive funding from the Department of Employment and Economic Development."
The purchase price for the site is $1.85 million. The Port Authority expects to close on the property on July 31, 2012.
"The purchase of this property is a good deal for Saint Paul," said Saint Paul Port Authority President Louis Jambois. "This agreement will create jobs both in the Lowertown neighborhood of Downtown Saint Paul and at the site of Midway Stadium, a key industrial corridor with highly sought-after railway access."
Yesterday, Mayor Coleman sent a letter to DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips notifying him of the city's intent to apply for $27 million in funding from the $47.5 million economic development fund included in the 2012 bonding bill.
The Lowertown Regional Ballpark is expected to bring 400,000 people per year to Downtown Saint Paul and will have a yearly economic impact of $10 million. The project is expected to create 500 full and part-time jobs and will become a center for statewide youth and amateur sporting events.
