L&L: Putting the Vance in Vancian
Article for 2/27/12.
I'm reading this to imply that if you want a spell that doesn't affect combat, you have to use a feat to buy it?
I hope I'm wrong, because this bothers me to no end.Well, Im sorry, I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect an exhaust port less than two meters wide!

Sounds like good news.
The actual points being made were rather hackneyed; equating Vancian magic with strategic play is a stretch.
Despite them offering four choices of a preferred magic system, I would have solidly come down on "none of the above", though we obviously need some of them.

Hopefully Monte means that a non-Vancian wizard gets more feats to spend. But it still seems a rather round about method to build an AEDU wizard. In fact his article is rather unclear: he could mean that a Wizard is always Vancian but that he gets some extra stuff like a Pathfinder wizard. After all wizards need more power and options.

I don't read it that way. To me it seems like a typical "Wizard" would get spells per day, but he could also spend a feat to get an at-will or per-encounter magical ability. These abilities would not be called "spells," since "spell" would only refer to per-day magical abilities.
Personally, one design aesthetic I'd like to see is inspired by Magic: the Gathering. Namely, you have to gather your mana to cast your spells. Maybe you have X mana per day, and you spend 1 mana whenever you cast a spell, or possibly 2 mana to do a really powerful version.
Then you'd have an ability, Draw Mana, which would let you spend a standard action to gain 1 mana, but you'd have to spend it within 5 minutes or else it would fade away.
To keep this from being boring (i.e., you only cast a spell every other turn), maybe the act of drawing mana makes you imposing like Gandalf when he intimidates Bilbo early in Fellowship, causing creatures nearby you to take a penalty to attack rolls for a turn. Or maybe a fire mage who draws mana could deal minor fire damage in a close burst, as fire swirls around him dramatically. Different types of wizards would have different minor effects that occur when they draw mana.
So you still have spells as a per-day resource, and if you use all your normal allotment of spells you can no longer just snap your fingers and cast; you can only cast every other round.

It wasn't really a choice in the poll, but I prefer a mixture of at-will abilities (like 4e powers or these magical feats) with a flexible pool of daily magic (like the 3e sorcerer or psion), possibly with some encounter-level resources mixed in. I could imagine liking a system like the 3e sorcerer, except with fewer spells/day, more spells to choose from, a few at-will spells and maybe the ability to cast a small number of low level spells per encounter without tapping the daily resource.
Vancian magic just doesn't match the fiction of my gameworld. I don't mind magic becoming exhausted, but forgetting a spell is silly. I appreciate the strategic aspect of Vancian magic, but I don't want to run a game in Dying Earth and I don't like waiting for PCs to memorize spells (or worse, having to pick spells for NPCs!).

From the context of the article, "Vancian" doesn't only mean "spells per day" (AEDU wizards get that, too). "Vancian" is more related to picking out the spells you want to prepare in advance, hence the link to "strategic play" (and assuming of course, you are smart enough to scout, do research, listen for rumors, cast divinations, or otherwise gather information about what you are going to face - and your DM actually gives you useful hints).
So, at this point it seems that there will be "Vancian" wizards who have to spend feats to get at-will abilities (which may have combat and/or non-combat applications) and there will be non-"Vancian" magic-users (to use a very generic term, since "spells" are implied to be "Vancian" only) who get more at-will abilities, and possibly encounter and daily powers as well (through feats? Uncertain at this point).
It is also implied that mage hand and Tenser's floating disc will no longer be spells since they will be at-will abilities. Cue the nerd rage!

If this implies that "Disciple of Tenser" is really phrased as some equivalent of "You may use Tenser's Floating Disc as a spell-like ability at will" then it's wouldn't be so bad. I would object to not having the option of preparing the effect as a spell at all.
It also brings back the issue of combat balance and non-combat balance. If I'm using a feat for mage hand that another player is using for extra combat damage, we have the gimping problem again.
It suggests a system by which feats are used primarily for out-of-combat effects, but we have evidence that's not the case.

Children's Fiction LOWRY
What other readers are saying about this title:
KaliO said:
The Willoughbys are a pleasant, old-fashioned sort of family—except that Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby tend to forget that they have children, and get rather tetchy when reminded of the fact. So the Willoughby children—bossy Tim, sweet Jane, and twins Barnaby A and Barnaby B—decide that they really would be better off as orphans. That way, they would at least be assured an adventure or two. A baby left on the doorstep (and re-delivered to a neighboring doorstep) is the catalyst for a series of astounding coincidences, devious plans, and literary conventions turned upside down that make up author Lois Lowry's sprightly tale. Other characters include a down-in-the-dumps candy bar tycoon (inventor of the delicious Lickety-Split), a no-nonsense nanny who scorns other no-nonsense nannies (like that "fly-by-night" Mary Poppins), and a lederhosen-clad lad who speaks very poor German (he just adds extra syllables "with a vaguely Germanic sound" to English words). The sly, winking tone that Lowry adopts on page one carries through to the utter end, meaning even her glossary of vocabulary words and bibliography of orphan literature are a rare and playful treat to read. Absurd humor with more than a dash of sparkling satire, The Willoughbys contains some of the most impish orphans out there.

I am still basking in the wonderful honor that was bestowed on me last Sunday at my church, The Church of God Tabernacle in Liberty City.
Please believe me when I tell you I was overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and appreciation. I was told that I was being honored for all the good works that I do for the church and the community. And while I truly, truly appreciate everyone who came and every kind word that was spoken, it seems a little strange to me to be honored for something that I feel I am just blessed to do.
Years ago, I started praying for the Lord to bless me to use my gifts to glorify Him. And He has. I love reaching out to others. It makes me happy to know that I have helped to brighten someone's otherwise gloomy day. For that, I feel that I am the blessed one.
On Sunday, my friends came from far and near — a goddaughter, Nicole Burkes Canty, flew in from Baltimore. She is a flight attendant and couldn't get home to Atlanta before coming here because of the weather-canceled flights. "I'm coming Bea-bea," she said, "if I have to wear my uniform to the service." She didn't have to wear her uniform; she arrived Friday evening and we went shopping on Saturday.
My dear friend Juanita Mond thought she wouldn't make it. She lives in Atlanta and was told that there wasn't a flight leaving because of the weather. Later, she got a call telling her to come to the airport. She hurriedly repacked her suitcase and headed out, only to learn the flights to Fort Lauderdale were held up because of the construction. She got here late Saturday night.
My only sibling, my brother Adam, drove down from Melbourne to be with me. My son Shawn couldn't make it because of another snowstorm in the east. My godchildren kept him posted by sending pictures to him almost hourly. And granddaughter Afra, who is appearing in Motown on Broadway in New York, sent a beautiful letter that was read during the service.
My Miami family, including daughter-in-law Debra, who gave a moving tribute to me, granddaughters Nykeva and Laquonia and great-grandson Jaylen were all here. Granddaughter Jamie now lives in Orlando and could not make it back. I missed her and great-grandson Tavaris.
My other family, which includes Taffy Gould and her family, also shared the day with me.
I especially want to thank Nancy Perez (for her wonderful brownies) and her friend Jane Steele, who left their own church to be with me on my special day. And for my longtime friend Dr. Dorothy J. Fields, who left a celebration at her church to come and pay tribute to me, and my goddaughter Cecily Robinson-Duffie, who also spoke on the program.
The highlight of the day was when the Rev. Dr. Walter T. Richardson preached a stirring sermon on the value of showing appreciation. He said we all do better when we know we are appreciated. He came with his wife, Dolores, and their children LaMark and Lakisha, who are also my godchildren. LaMark and LaKisha have 12 children between them; most were in church with them.
I tell you, dear friends, there was so much love flowing in the sanctuary, I couldn't hold back the tears. I was so humbled to know that my church family, led by my pastor Bishop Walter H. Richardson and Evangelist A. Frances Nixon, thought I was worthy of such an occasion.
So, a heartfelt "Thank you" to all of you. I love you, and God bless you.

Hi, I'm still new and very delighted with this impressive website. From searching this forum, I discovered that NOOK owners like me have been indicating great interest in an MFP app specifically for the Barnes & Noble app store, since we cannot access the full Android market -- except by tampering with ("rooting") our devices (which I think voids our warranty.)
Is there any recent update regarding a decision by the developers to make an app available for the NOOK?
If not, please add me to the list of MFP members who would very much appreciate one! Thanks.

Everton teenager's reaction to scoring first Blues goal.
Ross Barkley
Ross Barkley has revealed his delight at grabbing his first Everton goal.
The teenage midfielder was handed a start by Blues boss Roberto Martinez and responded with an impressive display, crowned by an excellent goal.
The 19-year-old fired home a searing left-foot drive from 20 yards out to equalise for his side during the 2-2 draw at Norwich.

Everton had to settle for a point but Barkley admitted his maiden Blues strike was a special memory.
He exclusively told evertontv: "I am buzzing to have scored my first goal for Everton. I ran to the crowd and everyone was celebrating and going mad. I hadn't even thought about a celebration.
"Before the game Stonesy (John Stones) was saying he thought I was going to score today!
"I have scored a few with my left foot when I was younger so I'm not afraid to hit them with my left."
While missing out on maximum points was a source of frustration, Barkley pointed out that there was plenty to be satisfied with ahead of the first home game of the season which arrives this weekend.
He continued: "It was frustrating in the end, I thought we should have got three points from the first game of the season.
"But it was a positive performance from the lads. We created lots of chances and they were lucky - if you see their second goal, the lad (Steven Whittaker) has hit it and it obviously wasn't a cross but unfortunately for us it went straight to a Norwich player.
"There were loads of plus-points and we are going to be positive going into the next game at Goodison."

Artist BioJohn Mellencamp, also known as John Cougar Mellencamp (born October 7, 1951), is an American rock singer-songwriter, musician, painter and occasional actor known for his catchy, populist brand of heartland rock which emphasizes traditional instrumentation. Mellencamp rose to superstardom in the 1980s while "honing an almost startlingly plainspoken writing style that, starting in 1982, yielded a string of Top 10 singles,"[1] including "Hurts So Good," "Jack & Diane," "Crumblin' Down," "Pink Houses," "Lonely Ol' Night," "Small Town," "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.," "Paper in Fire," and "Cherry Bomb." He has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and has amassed 22 Top 40 hits in the United States. In addition, he holds the record for the most tracks by a solo artist to hit number-one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, with seven, and has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning one. On September 23, 2014, Mellencamp will release Plain Spoken, his 20th album of original material and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2010 album No Better Than This.[2]0aad6b52-fd93-4ea4-9c5d-1f66e1bc9f0a

Steve Jobs told biographer he 'cracked' the secret to a simple HDTVThe forthcoming biography of Steve Jobs reveals that he worked to build an integrated, easy-to-use Apple television set, and that he felt he had "cracked" the concept for such a device.
The details from Walter Isaacson's book, set to arrive next week, are the latest indication that Apple plans to eventually release a connected HDTV set, as has been rumored for some time. According to The Washington Post, Jobs's vision was for a connected TV that would be synced with all of a user's devices, and with Apple's iCloud service.
The simplified HDTV would spare users from having to use complex remotes for multiple devices like DVD players and cable boxes. Isaacson wrote that Jobs "wanted to do for television sets what he had done for computers, music players, and phones: make them simple and elegant."
"It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine," Jobs was quoted as saying. "I finally cracked it."
Rumors of an HDTV from Apple have existed for years, though before the alleged comments from Jobs, there has been little evidence to support that Apple is planning to build such a device in the immediate future. In late 2010, Apple redesigned its Apple TV set top box to run on the same ARM-based processor and lightweight iOS operating system found in the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
One recent report in July claimed that Apple will launch a total of three HDTV models by March of 2012, with three different screen sizes and price points. A recent update to the Apple TV already offers console-style gaming with the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S via wireless AirPlay.

Game of Thrones is a show filled with debauchery, nudity, and scandals. It will take over your life for 10 weeks and then disappear until the next season starts almost a year later. If you're one of those just starting the HBO series now, I strongly suggest calling in sick or canceling your plans immediately because you have some catching up to do before the mayhem that is about to take place this Sunday, June 2nd. The show only takes one episode to hook you, but it isn't something you can just jump into. Every episode has several different stories going on and a lot to take in so don't even to try multitask while watching it or you are guaranteed to be lost. With only two more episodes left in the season, there is still a lot that is about to happen. I personally hope the season ends with King Joffrey dying and Daenerys taking over. If you watch the show, you probably agree because if you like Joffrey, you don't have a soul… sorry. So let's cross our fingers for the best, and enjoy the last two episodes that are left because we have a long wait until season 4.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014We were recommended this place and very happy we took the recommendation. Great taste in the entrée we selected and an awesome Bottle of wineSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A new Italian tasteLocalladyVIPDined on 9/25/2014There is an overabundance of Italian restaurants in Naples. Tulia has a distinctively differant menu. Reservation highly recommended in seasonSpecial Features:
- Always Great!CityFolkVIPDined on 9/22/2014Once again Tulia rises to the moment with consistently great food & service.Special Features:
- As good as everyone saysKreaVIPDined on 9/21/2014I have been hearing about this restaurant for many months now and was so glad to finally try it for myself. We met friends visiting from out of town for dinner and each had a great meal. For a starter, my husband and I shared the warm ricotta and peaches. It is a small portion and is absolutely delicious. Our friends had the cantaloupe dish and loved it. For dinner, I loved the beef short rib tortelloni. My husband ate every bite of his salmon. We had the yummy ice cream sandwich for dessert. I can't wait to go back again and I look forward to trying the new place the owners are opening next-door.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very good, very badrjf49VIPDined on 9/20/2014We enjoyed everything about Tulia except one entree, which came as a real shocker given the restaurant's rave reviews. The Tuscan Chicken Liver and Fried Pig Ears appetizers were wonderful (never had pig ears before), a delight for the palate but not the heart. The Tortelloni with beef short rib, foie gras emulsion and marsala delighted the taste buds. Unfortunately, the chef's special for the evening, slow-cooked pork shoulder was severely over salted as was the kale. Even the oven-baked potatoes could not cut the saltiness. The selection of wine by the glass was extensive and a few cuts above the quality found in many restaurants and complemented the food nicely. Our waiter, Stanley, was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StephanieDined on 9/15/2014My husband and I went there for our 7th anniversary. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. They timed our food to arrive perfectly. It is not a traditional Italian restaurant but every dish on the menu sounds incredible. Every bite was delicious from the appetizer to the dessert!! We both would reccomend this restaurant to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great mealsparkle4plentyDined on 9/14/2014The food at Tulia is a click different from the usual at Italian restaurants. The menu is innovative and the choices include some items that don't show up on most menus: caramelized brussel sprouts for one. There are pasta and chicken dishes for those who want to stay with familiar items. All in all Tulia provides a great dining experience.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceLovefood76Dined on 9/13/2014Tulia was all around fantastic. The food was delicious and fresh. Our waitress Kate was great. Awesome on recommendations but a wonderful personality that brought it all together. The ambiance was so energetic and happy. They didn't rush you at all through dinner which made the experience that much better. Overall everything was Fantastic!Special Features:
- Don't miss Tulia!RememberdafoodnadabillDined on 9/13/2014Very much enjoyed this dining experience recently. Incredible pasta - unique in presentation as well as taste- triangulated shapes of green ravioli with olive oil, herbs and only a hint of brown sugar. Amazing! Ever had Pig Ears? I hadn't but these were like those potato chips- having just one is impossible. Don't miss any of the pizza either. Finished with one of Chef Vincenzo's sweet creations- can't recall the name.....Mangiare! We will go back and try new things. This is a certain winning bet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ImpeccableOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/8/2014The food was delicious and the service was impeccable, we will be coming back.Special Features:
- Authentic ItalianmammarocksVIPDined on 9/6/2014Lots of restaurants in naples but not that many good ones! Trulia meets foodie expectation! Different menu, creative cooking. Great service.Special Features:
- Naples has lots of Italian butMadameCurieDined on 9/4/2014Tulia is special. The food is outstanding, the wait staff attentive without hovering. We almost always select one or more of the Contorni to share as appetizers and Tulia's are always special.The caramelized Brussels sprouts are scrumptious and the garlic anchovy broccolini is a must! We shared the veal special (with prosciutto and cheese) and the special white pizza - both delicious.Special Features:
- Deliciously distinct entreesLuv2writeDined on 9/1/2014My Squid pasta dish was a bit spicy but chock full of chopped seafood and very flavorful. I took home half for the next day. The hogfish dish with kale was so enjoyable that my husband almost licked the dish. The server was more than helpful and attentive. A very nice night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placeLinsahDined on 8/31/2014Always a pleasure to dine here. Great atmosphere. Dining on the patio, watching 5th Avenue life go by makes you feel like you are truly in Italy. The eclectic cuisine created by the wonderful Vincenzo will satisfy anybody.Special Features:
- jojoe26Dined on 8/31/2014Great overall dinning experience. Amy was a terrific server. She was knowledgeable and pleasant, and eager to please.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent all aroundFormerVirginianVIPDined on 8/29/2014Hostess was very good; waiter was extremely helpful with local information and very attentive. Food was outstandng!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great addition to the Naples scene!NaplesFoodieDined on 8/22/2014We are year round residents so we avoid most of the great restaurants during season. We finally went to Tulia in June and this is our third time back! Unique menu, great appetizers that you will not find anywhere else...and the pasta! Wow! Foie Gras sauce and other unique flavors make this a must do place!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Real Italian ExperienceUncinmiDined on 8/22/2014There are many Italain places to dine in Naples but Tulia is the only place to experience Italy. Authentic dishes. Outstanding service. A wine list beyond ones imagination. Do not miss this gem on 5thSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Molto BeneOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014We feel that the pasta is the most authentic we have ever had in the United States. We lived in Rome for 2 years so we know real Italian food and Osteria Tulia is a very special place. We feel that they are starting to get too highly priced in their meat and special entrees but the whole feeling is wonderful especially outside as the inside can be extremely noisy when they are full/busy.Special Features:
- Splendid Sicilian KitchenrazzledazzleDined on 8/22/2014Tulia's never fails to deliver first class service and the most amazing food....I am always transported right back to Italy when I am dining there...it is always a food "experience"...and the other touches..remind me of my Sicilian Mother's kitchen..where the staff is always cleaning..even wiping down the chair legs...making sure you have enough to eat and drink...it is Naples finest..Special Features:
- DisapointedCarolpatDined on 8/21/2014Artichoke Ap & Brusel Sprouts way too overdone and not good. Pork Shoulder good. Pasta Meat Mix just okay. Service was fine. Mentioned my Birth Day reservation but no desert offered. Wine was nice. Not a restaurant that should have everything ala cart. Not a good value compared to other restaurants on 5th.Special Features:
- eliasgVIPDined on 8/17/2014Even though Naples' 5th Ave is full of Italian places, this places strives toward good authentic food. There's nothing cheesy here like fettuccine alfredo or spaghetti and meatballs. This restaurant strives to make dishes you really find in Italy, like cacio e peppe, in addition to house made ricotta and other nice touches. Oh, and Sunday nights wines are half-off. Can't beat that!Special Features:
- Great AgainHungryDined on 8/16/2014Our food was wonderful and the service was great. You can't beat this for fine Italian food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian food in Naples areaColey143VIPDined on 8/16/2014Food was so fresh & delicious, service was outstanding - nice, casual setting. My family had just gotten back from a vacation in Italy and this restaurant is the closest you can get to true Italian cooking!Special Features:
- Authentic and excellent!LuvshermesVIPDined on 8/16/2014Have stopped by for lunch before but this was my first dinner experience. My dining partners raved about the Manhattans, especially the Italian cherries! Food was well seasoned and very tasty. Very accommodating for our vegetarian and all entrees were scrumptous! Will come back many times!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hate2CookVIPDined on 8/2/2014The best Gnoccis I've had since my Nonna made them. Everything is fresh and homemade. Drinks are innovative. Staff is above competent. They actually make you feel like you're family. The introduction to dinner is always fresh caponata with CRUNCHY bread. A must for tourists and "we" year rounders!!! Go there!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JdiazVIPDined on 8/1/2014We love this restaurant. The specials are the best.Special Features:
- Felt like the staff wasn't working.YummytummyDined on 7/29/2014I recommended an entree to several guest at my table and we were all disappointed. Next day I found out that no one is in a hurry to go back there for dinner. It really too bad, because my first experience was good. I have mixed feeling😣
- WonderfulmikeDined on 7/29/2014Tulia is one of our favorites in Naples. Just greatSpecial Features:
- RecommendNWHIDined on 7/27/2014Both service and food truly excellent. Went for lunch on a sunday out of season and will definitely return.
- Charming but one thing forgottenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014the place was so charming and refreshingly different for naples...i felt like we were in the mountains :) food was fabulous and price was reasonable. only glitch was that we went for my husband's birthday and i had put on the reservation through open table and reminded the waitress...he never got any birthday cake delivered which i thought was an obvious request...he was just handed the bill. that part was very disappointing.
- Always GreatCityFolkVIPDined on 7/25/2014The best Italian food in Naples. Great service and will tailor a dish to your needs.Special Features:
- In Love with TuliaVickiDined on 7/24/2014Best authentic Sicilian food in Naples. Our guest are still raving about how great the food was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best food in NaplesrichardcorrieroDined on 7/22/2014Their home made pasta dishes ar amazing. And their grilled octopus is fantastic!Special Features:
- Naples Top ChoicesLive4FineDiningDined on 7/20/2014With so many restaurants on 5th Avenue it can be hard to choose, so take it from a self proclaimed food critic, Tulia should be high on your list if you like great Italian food and excellent service. The bread and caponata are just the beginning of a great meal. The knowledgeable servers can easily direct you to an entree that you will enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great MenuaatnaplesVIPDined on 7/19/2014The food here is always enjoyable but the owners need to invest in proper wine storage refrigerators. On four different dining occasions when fine wine from the reserve list was purchased it was served hot. It diminishes the greAt food and the overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As good as Always !!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/19/2014This is one of our favorite Places in Naples, good for all ages!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts
Goucher's Master of Arts in Digital Arts and Master of Fine Arts in Digital Arts programs are a unique combination of hands-on learning, creative theory, and instruction from an established and experienced national faculty. The MA in Digital Arts is designed to train market-ready professionals, while the MFA prepares students to become skilled scholar-practioners.
You will be responsible for completing courses from the following program areas:
- Required Courses
- Elective Courses (allows each student to specialize in the area of his or her choice)
- Management Core (teaches students fundamental business principles, marketing, and legal and intellectual property basics)
- Portfolio (built into all courses and critiqued and supported throughout the program)
- Capstone (capstone of the program, developing and marketing a longer and more complex piece of art, music, or multimedia)
Digital Arts courses are collaborative, giving students a chance to learn from each other. When, for example, a musician and a video artist or an animator and a painter work together on projects, they gain real knowledge outside their core creative discipline and produce complex, multilayered, and exciting work that is more than the sum of its parts. Learning collaboratively also offers our students the opportunity to meet and network with artists outside their discipline, many of whom may be working in the professional world.

3 Reasons This Stock Is Still a Buy After Rising 250% Last Year
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Three-dimensional printing has received quite a bit of hype over the past year. Though the technology has been around for more than two decades, investors' optimism on this industry has improved dramatically, and the stock prices of key players 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) and Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) tell the story. Shares of the former have risen by 103.2% in the last 12 months, and Mr. Market has pushed 3D Systems up nearly twice as high.
Now, triple-digit returns over a fairly short time frame will have plenty of armchair analysts calling for a bubble, but it'd be a mistake to simply sell out of both companies because of their recent successes. 3D Systems can still make its investors money. The stock's bullish thesis boils down to three key factors:
1) Usability and affordability.
Most importantly, it appears that 3D Systems' advantage over Stratasys and the rest of its competitors—MakerBot and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) have products in this space—lies in its usability and affordability. Regarding the latter point, 3D Systems makes a number of printers, though many analysts are most excited about its Cube 3D model, which is priced just below $1,300. Stratasys and MakerBot's most accessible models are priced near $10,000 and $2,000 respectively.
While most of its competitors' three-dimensional printers are focused on providing workplace solutions, 3D Systems' Cube 3D has an intuitive in-home feel, and its design specifications have been tailored so users of all ages can bring their favorite creations to life. For those feeling less creative, the company offers preset designs that can be easily downloaded as well.
2) Product diversification.
In addition to its Cube 3D printer, 3D Systems also offers upper-tier ZPrinter, ProJet and BotMill models. As we proclaimed on Insider Monkey last year:
"3D Systems' role in its industry is equivalent to a hypothetical scenario where Apple offered its current stable of iPods, and serious competitors only had a 160 gig version to sell."
With a plethora of price options aimed at the full spectrum of users who will want 3D printers in the future, it's difficult to justify betting against this company. In fact, the only reason many bears have started to enter the conversation is because of the stock's so-called "premium" valuation. But, as with many things in life, appearances can be deceiving.
3) Shares aren't as expensive as they look.
At 37.3 times forward earnings and a PEG near 4.1, 3D Systems looks like a growth-trap at first glance. Yes, obviously the company operates in an industry with mammoth potential, but would investors be better off waiting for a more attractive entry point? In short, no.
In comparison to closest peer Stratasys, which trades at a forward P/E of 42.1x and a PEG of 4.5, 3D Systems is actually priced at about a 10% discount. Neither company pays a dividend, but at 18 times cash, 3D Systems is way cheaper than Stratasys (31.4x) from this standpoint.
In terms of growth, the sell-side expects 3D Systems to generate earnings expansion near 20% a year over the next half-decade—close to what's expected of Stratasys—but what sets the company apart is its profitability. 3D Systems' profit margin of 11.2% is about 140 basis points higher than its closest peer, and its 50%-plus gross margin is more than twice the level of Hewlett-Packard.
What does the smart money think?
At the end of the last 13F-filing period with the SEC, some of the most notable hedge funds invested in 3D Systems included Tiger Global Management (see the massive hedge fund's full portfolio), Louis Navellier's Navellier & Associates, and Cliff Asness' AQR Capital (see Cliff Asness' newest stock picks).
Whether it's 3D Systems' product advantage or its fairly attractive valuation, there are plenty of reasons to still be bullish on this space, even in the face of all that "bubble" talk. Clearly an industry leader, this company is positioned very well to be the face of 3D printing's big push into consumers' living rooms going forward.

Allow Immortal Technique into Canada!
Immortal Technique has proven on multiple occasions that he is a talented, open-minded, and truthful man. Immortal Technique is currently not allowed to cross into the Canadian border for multiple reasons. Although he has records for criminal activities we feel he should have the right to perform shows and concerts in Canada as he is a very influential and intellectual person. He openly speaks about corruption and misuse of power in many political systems including that of the USA. Many other artist and specifically rappers with criminal records or promotion of 'guns/violence' have been allowed to perform shows and concerts in Canada. Some of these artist include 50 cent (Curtis Jackson), Eminem (Marshall Mathers), and The Game (Jayceon Taylor). The fact that the Canadian government has allowed many other artist into Canada whom have had similar cases, and are now not allowing Immortal Technique, demonstrates that they are judging him unfairly. Support the cause and sign the petition today, and invite other to do so as well. This case is more about controlling political perspective than it is of his supposedly very bad criminal record.
James MacLean
Banning Tech is like banning Truth. So stop being assholes already.
Cody Boudreau
This guy needs to get his message across the masses. Canada is somewhere they don't want him to go. Why is he not allowed in Canada but others with criminal records allowed? Ask. Why is that? Question everything people.
Alberto Perez-Garcia
EEh Canada!! Felipes a nice guy:)

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
An Albany man is charged with DUI after a wild wreck.
State troopers say 28 year-old Nathan Donaldson caused a crash on Dawson Road a little before 6:00 p.m. Monday, then left the scene heading east on Stuart Avenue.
Near the Nottingham Way intersection, troopers say he crossed into oncoming traffic, sideswiped one car, then hit another car in the intersection.
Donaldson's Mercedes hit the curb and flipped at least three times, taking out a fence and coming to rest in a yard. He was ejected.
He and the other two drivers were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Donaldson faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence.

'iCarly' star nabs NBC drama: Who's next?
We take a look at four other former child stars quite ready for prime time
"And she's not the only one. Here are four other Disney stars we think are quite ready for prime time."
I thought research was part of a writers job? Disney and Nickelodeon are NOT the same company at all. Take the word "Disney" out and replace it with "Nickelodeon" and you would be correct.
Although these kids exhibit a certain amount of "coached talent", this "anyone can be a tv and music star" attitude that is force fed to the kids of today at every turn, is turning out a generation of people who expect ..no demand...more than they are willing to work for. They expect instant fame, instant money with no effort. Is that really what we should be nurturing?
Most of the "teen talent" today would be nowhere without autotune.
I respect the work these kids particular have put in. This isn't targeted at expressly them. It's a comment on what the media is leading our kids into believing today.
I, for one, turn the tv off. Here's an outdated thought...let them READ, and NOT on the computer.

5 myths about credit counseling
When it comes to dealing with debt and clearing your credit, what you don't know really can hurt you.
Working with a credit counselor won't ding your credit score. Honest. Yet some people seem to think it will, according to a survey from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
The fact is, credit counselors don't report to the credit bureaus. Seeking help from a professional, nonprofit credit counseling agency can help you fix what's wrong with your finances -- which will ultimately improve your credit score.
Besides: How does your credit report look right now?
"What about the eight months you haven't paid your Macy's card? Dings to your credit score already exist," notes NFCC spokeswoman Gail Cunningham.
Five common themes emerged from the 2013 survey, including the notion that asking for help would damage your credit score. The others are:
- "Credit counseling would cost too much." No NFCC agency can deny service based on inability to pay. All members offer sliding-scale counseling, which may mean "free."
- "Debt settlement or bankruptcy would be easier and cheaper." Although either option may be the right choice for specific situations, you should always investigate other tactics. Both settlement and bankruptcy typically have negative consequences, including but not limited to lawsuits, sharp impact on credit scores, and the fact that debt that's forgiven is subject to taxation.
- "Counselors offer only advice, not solutions." The solution must come from the debtors, but counselors help clients develop written plans for short- and long-term goals, and then negotiate with creditors for lower monthly payments, lower interest rates, and lowering/cessation of any fees.
- "I don't know who to ask." The NFCC recommends its member organizations -- naturally! -- but also suggests checking with the Better Business Bureau and your state attorney general's office for any unresolved complaints involving counseling agencies.
That last one is particularly serious. Shady and sometimes criminal "debt relief" companies popped up during the recession and its aftermath, promising fixes that ranged from the fraudulent to the impossible.
Even people who weren't snookered by such companies may know folks who were -- and that makes them wary, according to Cunningham. They're not sure of the differences among terms like credit counseling, debt management, debt settlement and credit repair.
"There is a lot of consumer confusion out there," she says. "That's led to a lot of consumers who aren't willing to do anything to fix their finances."
No easy solutions
People should be wary because real financial fixes don't happen overnight, says MSN Money columnist Liz Weston. No secret loopholes exist to allow companies to solve your money woes instantly.Credit repair is not the same as credit counseling. Repair is for bringing up your credit score. Counseling is to help you pay off debt and get control of your finances. If all you want is to fix your FICO, Weston suggests these DIY resources:
- Experian Credit Educator: For $30 you'll get a 20-minute, one-on-one phone call with an agent who will walk you through "credit repair components" and offer information on credit management in general. (Take notes, and don't waste any of those 20 minutes with idle chitchat.)
- Credit counseling agencies: Weston recommends going through the NFCC for counselors in your area.
- Buy your FICO: Pay $20 at MyFICO.com to get an explanation of the reasons behind the number and suggestions for improving it.
Reputable credit repair companies do exist, Weston notes. Ask mortgage professionals or real estate agents for referrals, and check the companies out with the Better Business Bureau.
Don't sign with a company that asks for money upfront or refuses to provide a contract that spells out exactly what will be done, how long it will take and how much it will cost. Companies should also clearly explain your legal rights, and provide three days to cancel with no fee.
"There are plenty of companies that will charge you a lot to do very little, or nothing at all," Weston says. "But some can provide a legitimate service…by helping people through a process that they could do themselves, but may not want to."
Doing it yourself
It's possible to repair your own credit, over time, by squaring your debts and keeping your financial nose clean. But a credit counseling agency can ease the process -- especially if you're deeply indebted -- by negotiating those lower interest rates and fees. With that kind of help, repayment should be less stressful and faster.
"Faster," however, is a relative term. It will take time. Depending on how much you owe, it could take up to several years to satisfy your financial obligations. It works only if you work it.
One of the things you'll have to do if you go through an agency is cut up your credit cards -- and sometimes that really hurts. Cunningham says that clients sometimes shed actual tears as they wield the scissors. No pain, no gain.
Readers: Have you ever gone to credit counseling?

@Samuel : I hope that the falcons coaching staff is that stupid to think that as well (I know that they are not. Much respect for that coaching staff). This kid just doesn't give the ball up easily. You obviously didn't see any of game two or three for the Skins this season. Because of those two games I don't believe that that is a good plan to depend on to stop this kid. All that seems to happen is you make him even more focused earlier in the game. The best plan of attack is emotional pressure and that, the type I'm talking about, can only be applied by the Falcon offense. It will probably take us going up by a couple of TD's, relaxing, then the Falcons hang something like 28 really quick points on us to do it but there you have it. The Bengals attempted this type of pressure (they wanted to jump on us early and score often) and I think that they were close but they took too long to string together their big plays. In the end it took a bogus call by the replacements (and additional yardage added to what the bogus calll was supposed to be. No call in the NFL costs you 41 (from their 19 all the way to our 41) yards but spot fouls and this was supposed to be unsportsmenlike for a coach walking onto the field to argue with an official when the ENTIRE Bengals team was on the field thinking that the game was over) and a jump offsides to save the win for the Bengals.
@JONESBORO SLIM : I hope they use the same defensive packages too! I think that they will find that this team is better then the Panthers on both offense and defense. I know that the defensive numbers are horrible against the pass but they have begun to correct those and we are better against the run then Carolina (6th against the run in the NFC as opposed to 14th). Should be a great game and I look for a repeat of week one for us. Almost identical situations coming in : great QB (actually better), high powered offense, top notch (actually higher at this point) TE, real good running game (tops in NFL previous season), an average to below average defense (falcons D is much better). Me, I would break out the exact same game plan and philosophy used in week one and use it here. No disrespect but it should actually work better…

Dr. Mehmet Oz said you can accelerate weight loss and curb disease by following the Paleo diet on the Feb. 17 episode of the Dr. Oz Show.
The Paleo diet is the most popular diet around today because it has been shown to produce effortless weight loss, reverse diabetes and heart disease, and even prevent Alzheimer's.
Dr. Oz said you can lose 75 pounds in six months on the Paleo diet, which emphasizes the following:
- High-quality animal proteins such as grass-fed beef, wild fish, pastured chicken and eggs.
- Healthy fats like avocados, coconut oil, cold-pressed olive oil and organic butter.
- Non-starchy vegetables like kale, broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower, onions, and olives.
- Low-sugar fruits such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and apples.
The Paleo diet excludes the following:
- sugar
- gluten
- dairy
- legumes
- alcohol
- processed foods.
"This program works faster than ever," said Dr. Oz, whose guests were Ironman triathlete and nutritionist Nell Stephenson and holistic-health expert Chris Kresser.
Stephenson, author of Paleoista and co-author of The Paleo Diet Cookbook, said the Paleo diet isn't a fad diet because it doesn't restrict calories and provides a healthy balance of protein, vegetables and high-quality fats.
Stephenson, who's a fat-free size 2, said the Paleo diet works well for women because it evens out the hormone surges women experience that make weight loss difficult. What's more, the Paleo diet relieves digestive problems and gives you radiant skin.
Kresser, author of Your Personal Paleo Code, said you can customize the Paleo diet to suit your lifestyle and genetic blueprint. The best part is, you don't count calories and never feel hungry or deprived because your body is getting all the nutrition it needs to thrive.
While the Paleo diet typically avoid legumes, Kresser allows legumes like beans, lentils and chickpeas on his Personal Paleo Code plan. The important thing, he said, is to avoid processed foods and simple carbs.
Dr. Oz, who previously advocated a high-carb, low-fat diet, is now convinced of the health benefits of lower-carb, high-fat diets like the Paleo and ketogenic diets to accelerate weight loss and prevent disease.

Members of the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base and their families came together for their 40th annual award ceremony on Saturday night.
Awards were presented to more than 50 of the highest achieving members from the 104th Fighter Wing.
The wing winners will then contend at the national level against winners from the active duty, reserve and other national guard units.
Those receiving awards say it truly is an honor to be recognized by their peers.
"It's an honor because it doesn't happen to you every year. You know, you work hard regardless, and when you are recognized, you take great pride in coming here and standing up in front of your peers, to be recognized, and you get to shake the wing commander's hand and its very enjoyable," said Wendy Kiepke, the 104th Fighter Wing's budget officer.
