Just where is the intersection of art and science? To most of us, it's as small and instant a thing as snapping a shot with a digital camera or pressing down middle C on an electronic keyboard. Yet "At the Intersection of Art and Science" is the official descriptive slogan for something much much bigger—a mammoth new landmark in upstate New York and perhaps even in the future of the arts.
The place is EMPAC, the new Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, officially opening on Friday, October 3, 2008. More than six years in the making, it is a building measuring some 220,000 square feet and costing nearly $200 million. And those are dollars from earlier in the decade. According to Curtis Priem, an entrepreneur and RPI trustee who contributed $40 million to EMPAC, it would cost about $1 billion to launch a similar undertaking today, due to the surging costs in construction, concrete, cooper and the like.
EMPAC includes four performance spaces—a 1,200 seat concert hall, a 400 seat theatre with a seven-story fly space, and two flexible "black box" spaces measuring 3,500 and 2,500 square feet respectively—plus audio and video production suites, studios for resident artists, large glass enclosed atriums, a cafe and more. Not just an arts venue, EMPAC is wired into RPI's super computer—one of the newest and largest at any American university—and each of its large halls has been conceived and engineered to support advanced research in visualization, animation, simulation, acoustics, optics, and haptics (the study of touch). Designed by Grimshaw Architects of New York with acoustical consultation by Kirkegaard Associates of Chicago, EMPAC has advanced technologies and myriad applications said to be unparallel by any other single facility in the world.
Location, Location, Location
As EMPAC's sleek glass building has risen out of a grassy bluff above downtown Troy, a major question has also arisen: Why is an engineering school opening an arts center? The answer lies at the heart of the tenure of RPI president Shirley Jackson, a physicist who chaired the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for four years under President Clinton. She took the reins of the 84-year-old institution in 1999 with the intent of positioning it as a leader for 21st century technologies.
In March 2001, Jackson secured a $360 million anonymous gift to the university, which at the time was the largest single contribution ever made to a school. About half of that money went to a center for research in biotechnology, which opened on campus a few years ago. The balance has gone toward EMPAC, which has been envisioned as a place for the development of new technologies in the arts and communication and also for fostering a new kind of thinking by RPI students.
"EMPAC is both a place and a program. It is a performing arts center, a research location and agenda, a hub of campus interaction, a channel for academic programs and more—a powerful combination for art, science and engineering," stated Jackson, to the RPI community earlier this year. "EMPAC will prepare our students for global leadership roles by exposing them to experiences which will foster innovative problems-solving, multicultural sophistication, intellectual agility, and the ability to see connections between and among disciplines across a broad intellectual front. With EMPAC our aim is create an intellectual community that did not before exist, and a cultural change at Rensselaer that will reverberate globally."
RPI is certainly not the first university dedicated to engineering and science to expand its culture and reach. In 1969, the Carnegie Institute of Technology merged with a neighboring humanities school to become Carnegie Mellon University.
"We could have followed the Carnegie Mellon model and taken the price of EMPAC and built a school of humanities and social sciences," says Samuel Heffner, chairman of the RPI board of trustees. "But this building is more than a concert hall. It's a true laboratory and a significant move forward not only for Rensselaer but for the concept of arts and technology. EMPAC will have a long-term effect on the future of Rensselaer and will change lives."
Grand rhetoric has certainly been flowing as EMPAC nears its opening; sometimes the language is even rather poetic.
"It's this bridge, or it's this river where arts and science and technology can come together and have a confluence and the highest levels of quality will meet under one roof," says Johannes Goebel, EMPAC's director. Goebel is a composer and was the founding director of the Institute for Music and Acoustics at the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, having supervised the opening of its building in 1996. For a period during the 1990s, while still at ZKM, he co-directed Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, where he was also a visiting composer.
Goebel's arrival at RPI in 2002 was certainly not the first time an artist was part of the university community. A small arts department was established in 1975, primarily as an opportunity for students to pick up some electives or participate in a performing group. In 1987, under the chairmanship of composer Neil Rolnick, the department expanded into an academic center offering the nation's first Master of Fine Arts program in "integrated electronic arts," wherein students developed technical skills that are applicable to multiple fields, such as music, video and gaming. A popular undergraduate degree program followed in 1996, and more recently RPI became one of the first institutions in the nation to establish a Ph.D. in electronic arts.
Under the banner iEAR (Integrated Electronic Arts at Rensselaer), RPI has been making public presentations of up to a dozen concerts, films, demonstrations and lectures annually and has also hosted artists in residence to work at its facilities for extended periods. Among the more notable musicians presented over the years are Philip Glass, John Zorn, Frederic Rzewski, and Laurie Anderson.
Most iEAR events have taken place in the modest auditorium of RPI's arts school, which seats a few hundred and seldom draws a full house. EMPAC, it's worth noting, is an independent entity within RPI. The arts department remains on the other side of campus in the grand old West Hall, which was built as a hospital during the Civil War era (and is said to be haunted).
So the arts do have some established roots at the university, but given the modest draw of iEAR presentations, another question arises: Can RPI pack in audiences at EMPAC's many halls? And what impact will EMPAC have on the larger arts scene of New York's Capital Region, which also encompasses the cities of Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs and is a short drive from the cultural Mecca of the Massachusetts's Berkshire County.
Regarding the latter question, Goebel has stated that EMPAC will not duplicate or compete with any programming already happening in the region. But local audiences by definition have a limited amount of time and funds, if not a finite capacity for experimentation, as well.
During the mid-19th century Troy, population c. 50,000, was one of the richest cities in America due in part to its location at the meeting point of the Hudson River and the Erie Canal. Today RPI is probably the city's largest employer. The Albany Symphony Orchestra, which often performs at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall (an acoustically acclaimed 19th century hall, also with 1,200 seats, located just a few blocks from EMPAC), already has a long history of working with living American composers. Under the ebullient leadership of music director David Alan Miller, its audiences have become accustomed, if not always fully game, to the experience of hearing new works on nearly every program. And in recent years the local gallery scene has had an upsurge in shows by local artists. But otherwise, the region is no Manhattan or Berlin with crowds eager to hang out on the cutting edge.
Yet looked at from another perspective, EMPAC is the latest link in a chain of major new contemporary arts venues that dot the Hudson Valley and extend into New England. A tour of these facilities would start 60 miles north of Manhattan in Beacon where the Dia Foundation houses its massive modern art collection in a 1929 Nabisco factory. Dia: Beacon opened in 2003. Up the Hudson River another 50 miles in the tiny town of Annandale-on-Hudson is the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, a sparkling and curvaceous theatre complex designed by Frank Gehry that also opened in 2003 on the campus of Bard College.
The City of Troy and EMPAC are another 58 miles further north, and then 40 miles northeast and over a mountain pass is North Adams, Massachusetts and MassMoCA, the center for new art, sculpture, and performance housed in 13 acres of former factory buildings, which opened in 1999. With the exception of Annandale-on-Hudson's Fisher Center, each of these facilities represents a major new infusion of culture into a former industrial center. (The Fisher Center has further enhanced an already vibrant artistic scene at Bard.)
From Pre-Opening Events to There is Still Time
EMPAC has not waited for the completion of its building to start presenting events. Seeking to build its brand and engage local audiences, EMPAC has produced 50 different happenings since April 2004. Along with some lectures and film screenings, there have also been concerts with Anthony Braxton, So Percussion, and the Flux Quartet, as well as performances by Troika Ranch, Lone Twin, and Tere O'Connor Dance.
"EMPAC 360" was an outdoor performance and spectacle on the building's construction site—highlighted by dancers repelling on its walls—in September 2005 attended by more than 2,000 people and named by the Albany Times Union as the arts event of the year. And last winter, lighting designer Jennifer Tipton bathed the construction site in color for about a month (one of the only non-theatrical projects in her long career).
While Goebel has been supervising the building's construction and the installation of its technologies, the events have been selected and produced by a three-member artistic team: Kathleen Forde, visual arts curator, Helene Lesterlin, dance curator, and Micah Silver, music curator. The EMPAC web site lists 27 other personnel, but Goebel has estimated that a staff of at least 40 or more will be needed to run the facility. If the current web site—one week before opening night—is any indication, they are scrambling to fill more than a dozen other positions, including box office manager, production technicians, web developer, master carpenter, video engineer and director of research, among others.
Up until now, most EMPAC events have taken place in out of the way auditoriums and campus venues, but approximately 10,000 people have already attended an EMPAC presentation. That figure should easily be surpassed with the string of opening celebrations, which are spread over the first three weekends of October.
The inaugural event is a concert featuring performances by the Albany Symphony Orchestra, the Vox Vocal Ensemble, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and pianist Per Tengstand. Other musical artists slated to appear during the opening festival are accordionist and composer Pauline Oliveros (an RPI faculty member), pianist/composer Cecil Taylor, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Gamalan Galak Tika with Ensemble Robot, and pianist Ramsey Lewis. Theatrical performances will be offered by Dumb Type, Workspace Unlimited, Verdensteatret, and Richard Siegal/The Bakery. For a complete schedule of events, visit EMPAC's website.
The kind of parallel advancement in both art and technology that EMPAC seems to be all about may be best displayed in There Is Still Time… Brother, a new 20-minute feature film scheduled to play continuously in one of the large studio spaces during the first weekend of events. Commissioned by EMPAC and produced in association with the University of New South Wales and ZKM in Germany, where it premiered last December, it is a model of how the realization of an artistic concept can lead to technological breakthroughs.
The film was conceived, developed and performed by the Wooster Group, the influential SoHo-based theatre collective and is shown on an extraordinary 360-degree screen. Unlike an IMAX film, which encompasses the viewer's peripheral vision, the screen of the Interactive Panoramic Cinema literally surrounds the viewer, measuring 40 feet in diameter and 15 feet high.
To get a feel for the film's warp-around environment, imagine a busy cafe or office with multiple conversations taking place between people sitting and standing, entering and exiting. The collage-like script, partly improvised, explores themes of war and media, with allusions to the 1959 nuclear holocaust film On the Beach and excerpts from Rosie O'Donnell's online blog, among many other widely varied references.
Rather than being a giant sensory overload, each screening of There Is Still Time… Brother is controlled—edited, one could even say—by a single viewer in a swivel chair. Wherever he or she points the chair at any given moment, the film is clear and the audio is full, while the rest of the screen is blurred and the sound muffled. Thus, it's impossible to grasp in one viewing every aspect of the piece and no experience of it is ever quite the same.
Though the IPA technology already existed, Goebel wanted to boost the quality of the sound for the new piece, in keeping with EMPAC's high standards for both audio and visual production. Typical cinema sound comes from either left or right, above or below the screen. Yet this can be inexact and confusing when the screen is a wrap-around. Enter Jonas Braasch, assistant professor in the architectural acoustics program at RPI.
"With the screen that size, it becomes very important that the sound comes exactly from the same direction as the visual," says Braasch. "In theatre production you record everything with microphones close to actors but your recording doesn't have any information about their location. We designed a system that would record the sound and take the data of where it's located."
Played back through an array of 32 speakers distributed on three levels behind a new permeable screen, the dialogue in There Is Still Time… Brother will seem almost as if the actors' voices are coming directly out of their mouths.
Braasch has written an article on his new microphone tracking system for the Computer Music Journal and is at work on a patent application. He foresees a number of other uses for the technology including for the synchronization of musical performances via the internet. Braasch came to Rensselaer in 2006 from McGill University in Montreal. EMPAC, he says, "is one of the few (electronic arts) centers that has the right balance of people involved in the arts and involved in engineering. That's very difficult to have, without one side dominating the other."
The creation of There Is Still Time… Brother also had an effect on its artistic team. According to Wooster Group producer Cynthia Hedstrom, EMPAC's commission reversed the troupe's normal approach to technology. "We tend to start with content and then find ways that technology can enhance it. Here we were starting with technology and finding content for it. That was unusual."
The Wooster Group's development process lasted several years but the film itself was shot in about a week. "Then, as soon as it was done, (artistic director) Elizabeth (LeCompte) says, 'Oh, I've got another idea (for a 360-degree film).'" Concludes Hedstrom, "It's fertile ground." And that might be said not just for the technology of There Is Still Time… Brother, but perhaps for EMPAC itself.
Joseph Dalton has been covering the arts scene in New York's Capital Region for six years, primarily writing for the Albany Times Union. He is the former executive director of Composers Recordings, Inc. (CRI), where he produced about 300 recordings of contemporary music. He was also director of a research project on the effects of AIDS on American music which was published in an on-line report by the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS.

AURORA, Colo. -- The Century 16 theater in Aurora where 12 people were killed and 58 wounded in a horrific shooting July 20th is now getting a new look.
The remodel was announced after the City of Aurora sent out a survey and 70 percent of respondents requested the theater reopen.
It is obvious there will be new signs and lighting on the outside of the building, but calls to the theater company for more details of the remodel were not returned.
The Aurora Sentinel reports plans filed with the city include naming the theaters by letter instead of number. The paper also reports theater 9, where the suspect opened fire, will become one of Cinemark's "extreme digital cinemas." It will feature screens that stretch from wall to wall and floor to ceiling.
It is not clear if there is any type of memorial to the shooting victims in the plan.
Misty Benjamin took photos of the theater on Thursday and told us, "It's weird seeing the shadow of the Century 16 knowing it's not going to be the same."
We found commuter Brett Ingram nearby as the "16" portion of the sign was removed. He told us, "I think it was tragic what happened down there but if it's good to start over again then that's what they need to do."
The president of the theater company said in a letter to the city of Aurora in September he hopes the facility will reopen in the beginning of 2013.AlertMe

They cradled him in a little white casket. And mourned him in a sea of tears. A tiny Titanic soul, shepherded in a cotton-coloured hearse, ushered by a wagon of flowers — like cascades of sorrowful snow.
Then buried in a Halifax cemetery — 100 years ago.
"Sturdy sailors" openly wept. '' Grave faced hundreds" silently grieved for the "little bud of humanity in the welter of the seas." A "babe" found floating on icy waves.
"Face upturned" — as this newspaper lamented.
"Rocked in the cradle of the deep."
A fair-haired "unknown child."
A "darling of some mother's heart," who slept through a century of sorrows and grew to symbolize the enormity of a legendary loss — and all the families torn apart.
"I'm welling up just thinking about it," Gilly Johnston says 100 years later about her own flesh and blood, the blood that finally gave the baby his name after scientists exhumed his tiny bones.
"It pulls at your heartstrings," Sandra Northover says of his little brown shoes, the weathered leather Mary Janes she and her husband and her husband's family saved for generations, eventually sealing his identity for the ages.
"I inherited the grief," says paternal relative Carol Goroff, who felt the heartstrings of history — spectres of the baby and his five siblings and his mother and father — at her grandmother's knee a long, long time ago.
And cried for the children she'd never know.
And prayed for their souls at night.
And felt their shadows — like "imaginary playmates" — by day.
And, like Johnston, never knew that traces of the tiniest — 19-month-old Sidney Leslie Goodwin — lay under a towering tombstone off a busy Halifax thoroughfare, thousands of kilometres away.
Little Sidney, whom scientists identified just a few years ago after maternal DNA testing on Johnston and her children and mother, is just one of more than 1,500 men, women and children who died after the "unsinkable" ocean liner hit an iceberg and sank in the wee hours of April 15, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland.
He's just one of 150 victims buried in three Halifax cemeteries — Mount Olivet, Baron de Hirsch and Fairview Lawn, the largest known burial place for Titanic victims in the world.
And he's just one of eight of Johnston and Goroff's ancestors who perished in "the welter of the seas" south of the Grand Banks, 1,300 kilometres from Halifax.
Sidney rests in Fairview Lawn Cemetery, among rows and rows of ship stewards and firemen and waiters and passengers — mostly third- and second-class passengers.
Most were recovered by Halifax cable ships Mackay-Bennett and Minia: the floating morgues of the mournful times, bells tolling as they ferried in the dead.
But perhaps no one still strikes at the heart of this monumental tragedy like that little boy who floated up to the men of the Mackay-Bennett, who lay in his casket as though "in sweet sleep," who lay in that graveyard unknown and unclaimed for almost 100 years.
But mourned always, by strangers, with flowers and teddy bears and tears.
And baby soothers and sympathy at his anonymous grave.
When Gilly Johnston stood by his grave this winter, she saw the soothers and the teddy bears, one with a halo and angel wings, and felt overcome by emotions she finds difficult to describe.
Something about his vulnerability and his lost potential — "what he would have been like, what he would have done."
And his aloneness there, for all those ye a rs.
But now, she thinks about everyone who swaddled him in care; remembered him there through the decades of her family's despair.
And she cries a little over the phone from her home in Hythe, near Southampton, England — from where the Titanic launched its maiden voyage and sailed into infamy.
"They lined the streets just for this one child . . . many people thought of him.
"It's lovely."
As a child, Johnston, Sidney's cousin, heard of the baby and his family from her maternal grandmother.
Her "gran" — niece of Augusta Goodwin, who boarded the Titanic with her husband Frederick and their six children — Lilian Augusta, 16; Charles Edward, 14; William Frederick, 13; Jessie Allis Mary, 12; Harold Victor, 10, all born in Edmonton, Middlesex, England; and Sidney, born in Melksham, their last home, the home they left, heading for Niagara Falls, N.Y., hoping for a better life.
But her grandmother didn't talk much about the tragedy, Johnston says. And neither did her great-gran, Augusta's sister, who was devastated by the monumental loss.
She and the rest of Sidney's maternal relatives just assumed the entire family had vanished in the depths of the North Atlantic.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Goroff, now 78, was a little girl once, many summers ago, untangling her own grandmother's yarn, listening to her stories of Titanic love and loss.
And crying over the profound pain winding through time.
Goroff is a great-niece of Frederick Goodwin — her paternal grandmother's brother, her father's uncle and Sidney's father.
Frederick married his own first cousin Augusta, against his family's wishes.
But by all accounts, Goroff says, Augusta and Frederick had a happy marriage; a happy life.
Frederick was "the dearest love" of his sisters — Goroff's grandmother Florence and great-aunt Lydia — who never stopped mourning, never stopped remembering the "happy, energetic family" that slipped away.
"(He was) a very kind, gentle, thoughtful man, and from what I have picked up from their life in Melksham, the family was viewed as just all wonderful — a very happy marriage even though they struggled (financially)."
An only child, Goroff heard about them all, spending most of her summers from the age of two to 11 at her grandmother's home in Buffalo, N.Y., which her grandmother often shared with her sister Lydia, a private duty nurse.
After they'd put Goroff's invalid grandfather to bed, the elder women sat knitting and mending and remembering.
"They would talk about London and the family, and they would always end up with Frederick and the loss," recalls Goroff, a mother of four, a grandmother of six and a step-grandmother of three.
"Oh, the sadness was profound. And I loved them both so much that I felt their hurt."
The hurt.
But the happiness too. Of the London of their youth. The London of music halls and red-light districts and poverty, "the wrong side of the Thames," where the siblings struggled but made the most of their nights and days.
"Their life with their father was very, very difficult . . . but they loved London, and Frederick and his older brother Thomas . . .
were ushers in the Palladium, which is a huge music hall, and vaudeville, and my grandmother knew hundreds of songs with many verses and not quite the thing that you would tell a seven- or eight-year-old," Goroff remembers with a laugh.
"But I loved it. . . . And as part of that, the biggest memory, most fondest memory, my grandmother had was that . . . she'd finish the dishes and run across the field and (Frederick) would sneak her in, and this one time she saw Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in London.
"And he introduced my grandmother to William Cody (the star of the show) in his dressing room."
But inevitably, her grandmother pulled out a box of other memories: the Titanic and the terrible twists of fate.
Newspaper clippings about the disaster, postcards of London, letters from Frederick and family — mailed from Southampton a week before they died.
"Frederick wrote a letter when they arrived that they were not going to be on the SS New York and he was a bit worried about what they would do, but the White Star Line was making arrangements and this is just a promise when he's writing the letter. Now what's really interesting is that the ticket agent changed them from second class on the SS New York to third class on the Titanic. Now why? Why?"
Goroff has thought about "why" a lot over the years, especially since third-class passengers fared the worst in a disaster where only about 700 survived.
She thinks Frederick was trying to save money so he could pay back her grandmother and Lydia for what they'd sent him to come to America.
"I knew that from Frederick's letter that he might even have enough money to buy some furniture left over, so it was a sizable sum (they saved)."
Then, "at the end of the week, there was a letter to grandma from Augusta, (about) Easter week. They had been taken care of, meals and a place to stay, and Easter week and the services were wonderful and they had spent the week touring the city, Southampton, and . . . I remember my Aunt Lyd saying, 'Well, I wonder how she managed with that big brood?' " Sadly, says Goroff, her grandmother — overcome with the anguish that lasted the rest of her life — burned the letters that last only in memory.
But many years later, something in another box, something someone refused to burn, put the final piece to the nearly century-old puzzle of the little boy, in Grave No. 4, who'd been so adored.
Shoes, which are now an artifact at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, shoes that stayed in a box in Sandra and Earle Northover's home for 27 years. And made Sandra wonder, "What did he suffer?"
and made Earle think about his late grandfather — standing once on a Halifax dock, overcome by the mournful tokens of a little life.
Sgt. Clarence Northover of Halifax police and others had been responsible for guarding the bodies and personal effects of victims brought to shore. They were supposed to burn all clothing or mementoes left unclaimed.
But Northover was so moved by the sight, he couldn't let them perish.
"He saw a pair of baby shoes there and he said to the men, 'Don't burn these,' " says his 74-year-old Ontario grandson. "They were going to sweep them into a pile and my grandfather said, 'No, don't do that, no.' "
The officer took them back to the police station and kept them in his desk drawer until he retired and passed them on to his son Kenneth, who passed them on to his son Earle, who always remembered his grandfather saying "Don't lose those shoes" and heard other echoes over time.
"I could hear my grandfather and my dad (say): Get them back to Halifax."
The DNA/genealogical research led by Dr. Ryan Parr, a forensics expert and adjunct professor in the anthropology department of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., and local Titanic expert and author Alan Ruffman was well underway by 2002 when Earle Northover first got the shoes back to Halifax, contacted the museum and offered to donate them.
Eventually, a few years later, the footwear and forensics collided to bring Sidney's name out of the shadows.
Parr and other authorities opened the child's grave in the spring of 2001, finding a six-centimetre piece of bone and three teeth. That set off years of sleuthing and testing, and one major wrong turn, as a team of Canadian and American forensics experts tried to narrow down the identity from six possible prospects, as Ruffman tried to track down possible descendants.
In 2002, the researchers mistakenly identified the child as a Finnish boy named Eino Viljami Panula. But further testing, on blood from Johnston and family, "just a pinprick of blood," says Gilly Johnston, came up with Sidney.
More complex testing of the maternal DNA over the following three years ruled out Eino and confirmed Sidney as the "unknown child." The shoes — which went through three years of separate, rigorous testing to prove they're from that time and the Titanic — became the final link in the chain.
They would have been too big for the 13-month-old Finnish child. But just right for the 19-month-old babe who'd floated up to those "sturdy sailors" — who'd arranged his funeral and carried his little white casket all those years ago.
And then prayed for his soul — "suffer the little children to come unto me" — at his service.
And then slipped a tiny token of their affection into eternity.
A little brass medallion — "a coffin medallion" — unearthed in his shallow grave.
Inscribed, simply: "Our Babe."

review: lush r+b hair moisturizer.
|{pot of island breeze}
anecdote: my husband and i recently met a woman who smelled divine. i could hardly pay attention to what she saying because her scent mentally transported me to an island; like an evening breeze of fragrant blooms. i asked my husband if he noticed and he immediately replied, "i didn't want to sound weird, but yeah she smells really good." that's actually a glowing fragrance review from him. upon our next meeting i had to ask her, "what perfume do you wear?". she replied, "oh, that's not my perfume, it's lush's r+b hair moisturizer."
i should have known lush had something to do with it!
the lush site confirmed that the heavenly scent was a mix of orange blossom and jasmine (swoon!). the product itself is a leave-in conditioner/styler for thick and curly hair, but i think of it more as a vehicle for smelling amazing. especially since my hair is neither thick, nor curly. still, i use it in place of conditioner and it's especially good on french braid days (nice hold), plus that magic scent lingers for hours.

ICONS is fast already, and I already provided one idea for faster character creation.
However, I was creating some characters for it recently for something else, and I ended up doing this, so I thought I'd share it.
It's the archetypes from SUPERS! or the templates from Mutants & Masterminds done as 40 point characters.
To use:
- Pick or roll an origin (because that gives a great deal more juiciness; if all the players are, "I'm going to pick Unearthly because it offers the advantages of two origins," they're gaming the system and next time origins are just descriptions).
- Apply origin (if the origin calls for a new power, it's at level 5)
- If the origin calls for a new power, it's at level 5; otherwise, they have 3 or 5 points to spend.
- Adjust Stamina and Determination if necessary.
- Write Qualities.
Obviously, if you know the system already, you don't need templates. Go. Adjust as you are interested.
For some of them, I've added ideas on how you could change them up in a section called "Addendum."
I have specifically not done a "Construct" one because I think the Artificial origin does a great job on that. I feel like that "Construct" is less about what the character can do and more about the character's origin and qualities, and these templates are more about what the character can do. You add the personality and qualities.

In a hurry to complete a complicated looking prop? Only have less than a week until an event and haven't started? Here is a quick tutorial on making an emergency prop!
The key to quick and accurate prop is to take every step calmly and divide the workload. The exmaple this time will be Syaoran's Night Staff from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
As of this week we're going to start posting carefully selected tutorials for the DIY section. This week we present you a video make-up tutorial, by the professional make-up artist Michelle Phan, for those of you who always wanted to cosplay Nana Osaki from the Nana manga/anime series, but didn't know how to go about with the make-up for the character. [..]
I wanted to make angel wings for years, but had no idea where to start from, so I wrote this for both the expert and the new costumers who want to get an idea of some ways to easily and logically construct beautiful angel wings.

This year, the Dignity In Schools Campaign's National Week of Action on School Pushout is happening from Oct. 4 - Oct. 11, 2014! Learn more here: http://www.dignityinschools.org/our-work/week-of-action.
For the 2014 Week of Action, GSA Network and Crossroads Collaborative released a series of research briefs and recommendations around LGBTQ youth and school pushout. Read the reports here! We also held an #LGBTpushout tweetchat on October 9th (catch up with the Storify here!).
Together, GSA Network and members of our National Association released a statement in support of restorative approaches to school discipline during Week of Action 2013. To advocate for restorative justice in your school, start a campaign by clicking here!
School Pushout = school policies, practices and procedures that make it more likely for students to leave school instead of finish it.
These include "zero tolerance", harsh discipline, unsafe schools, and schools with lots of police but little money or resources. These policies are much more likely to impact LGBTQ students, students of color, immigrant students, and students with disabilities. Students who get pushed out are more likely to end up in jail or juvenile detention.
Read one GSA Network youth's experience with school pushout in The Advocate and listen to GSA Network youth talk about LGBTQ students and pushout in Tuesday's Dignity in Schools Campaign video:
Queer youth are more likely to be suspended and expelled, even for defending themselves or others from bullying like Cheyenne:
Cheyenne, a queer student and foster youth in CA, was suspended for "willful defiance" when she tried to stop the anti-gay bullying of another student. "As a foster child, if I get in trouble and am suspended, I can lose my ability to attend that school and I can also lose my foster home," said Cheyenne, who had to beg to be given an in-school suspension instead of being thrown out of school for two days.
Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network and members of our National Association participated in the Dignity in Schools Campaign's 2013 Week of Action on School Pushout, Sept. 28 - Oct. 5, 2013.
GSA networks in Missouri, Arkansas, California, Wisconsin, Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Colorado participate in rallies, gatherings, and marches for the 2013 Week of Action. Read about the Missouri event here and a student perspective here!
Students across the country participated in actions, protests and demonstrations to end this trend and demand that communities: Invest in Solutions, Not Suspensions! Counselors, Not Cops!
GSAs shared the message: #GSAs4justice push back against #SchoolPushout!

'Leonora' by Elena Poniatowska
For anyone who may be interested and can read Spanish, in 2011 Mexican author Elena Poniatowska published a historical novel, 'Leonora', about Surrealist painter Leonora Carrington. The novel won the Premio Biblioteca Breve prize. Poniatowska talks about the book here, and there's a detailed review in English here that makes me wish very hard for a translation.
I find especially interesting the revelation in the review that "Celtic mythology was Leonora's only religion," thanks to "the wisdom of her Irish grandmother and her beloved Irish Nanny (who understood Leonora's clairvoyant gifts), both of whom instilled in her love for all Celtic and for the Sidhes who would keep her company and find their way into her paintings." I had wondered if the otherworldly beings in her paintings were in some way seen or believed in by her — they have the look of genuine acquaintance, as do her friend Remedios Varo's.
I don't know, of course, the extent of Carrington's belief or how she interpreted her experiences and her own work. I would certainly like to know. It's rather frustrating that the English-speaking world has paid her so little attention.

legend that Whitman traveled East in 1842-1843 to save Oregon
from the British. It would be a peculiarly stubborn mind now
that could seek to revive the legend that took such firm hold
of historical writers in the later years of the nineteenth cen-
tury. It was the Catholic church, not the British government,
that drove Whitman East. He went to beg for Protestant rein-
forcements against the aggressive Catholic missionaries. Whit-
man's connection with the great emigration of 1843 was fortuitous.
He had nothing to do with stimulating it; but he knew of its
preparation to trek in the spring, and hastened his return from
New York to travel with it and guide it.
Overland to the Pacific was conceived with originality and has
been edited and published in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.
It is not only scholarly, but interesting.

A frontispiece map of the Eastern half of the United States,
with the region in color, shows clearly the area encompassed by
this study: between the Alleghenies and the Mississippi, and from
the northern boundary of Florida to the Great Lakes. The period
of time covered is from the loss of New France to England in 1763
to the boundary settlements in the Treaty of Paris in 1783 which
gave the trans-Allegheny lands to the United Colonies. It is the
author's intent to emphasize the vast importance to American
history of the acquisition of this region. He points out that it has
been minimized or entirely overlooked by Eastern historians of the
Revolutionary period.
In an opening chapter entitled "Background," the author
summarizes more than a century and a half of French and Indian
occupancy, with detailed discussion of the Indian title to lands
wandered over by the various tribes, and of the passage of question-

Thinking about tomorrow with the actions we take today.
c2c provides passenger rail services with low carbon emissions compared to many other forms of transport. Being a public transport company we are constantly looking at reducing our emissions through a series of low carbon sustainable, innovative transport improvement plans.
Every year more than 40 million passenger journeys are made on our trains. Our services make an important contribution in reducing carbon emissions from travel because trains produce fewer emissions per passenger kilometer than other forms of transport such as car or air travel.
A series of carbon reduction programs linked to energy use in buildings, effective waste management and the broader supply chain supports this and addresses our static emissions.
The key environmental issues for our business are; mitigating and adapting to the climate change agenda, driving responsibilities and programs to manage waste sustainably and use water responsibly.
Climate change performance
As a business we actively respond to both the climate change and resource efficiency agenda by managing our greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water and embodied energy performance via our supply chain.
Transport is an industry not without its challenges, as it contributes 24% of all CO2 emissions in the UK, and a quarter of CO2 emissions in the EU, some 6% of the total EU emissions (Source: European Commission)
Reducing our emissions is a priority for c2c. We conduct a variety of programs aimed at reducing them which makes sense both environmentally and commercially, especially where energy use reduction is achieved delivering immediate cost efficiencies and sustainable benefits.
Driving environmental excellence and beyond
One of our key goals to achieve "Excellence" in our environmental performance is to ensure external standards are maintained throughout.
Our continued goal in reaching this was achieved through maintaining both ISO 14001:2004 and 50001:2011 management standards and in 2015 c2c was independently assessed against BS8903 Sustainable Procurement standard.
Carbon Saver
In 2016 a clear demonstration of our continued commitment in driving sustainability, cutting our energy costs, with proven carbon emissions reduction measures over the last 7 years, saw c2c achieving recertification to the Carbon Saver Standard, again attaining the top Gold Standard status.
Environmental management & protection
Safeguarding and protecting the natural environment is a dedicated practice that c2c embraces in the areas that we operate.
We maintain organisational structures, management systems, procedures and training that ensure compliance with all EU and UK regulatory frameworks. The c2c continues to have zero prosecutions, enforcement notices, breaches or violations.
Sustainable Procurement Strategy
Ensuring our procurement activity is outcome-focused we have defined deliverables that cover:
- Environmental issues - the non-exploitation of raw materials and natural resources, helping to reduce our CO2 emissions
- Social issues - the procurement of Fair trade products and a pledge to ethical sourcing practices/signatory schemes (via fair pricing and sourcing policies)
- Economic issues - the further promotion of equal pay, providing opportunities for SMEs and other diverse suppliers (agreements are at fair and viable margins)
- Engaging with our suppliers to ensure they recognise and understand their role in supporting these objectives is vital to the delivery of our corporate objectives
c2c recognises the need to manage waste effectively, use and conserve water sustainably and contribute positively to air quality improvements.
The management of the waste strategy involves the continuing education and support within the business. The adoption of the waste hierarchy, coupled with new elimination and reduction programs, are key elements to hitting the environmental targets.
Renewable energy
c2c will be investing in on-site renewable electricity through Solar PV at a number of stations during 2016.
Site energy efficiency measures
Energy efficient light fittings
Energy efficient light fittings and new control equipment will be installed across our stations during 2016. These installations will reduce the lighting electricity consumption by 40-50% and improve the lighting quality.
Along the c2c route into London are a number of wasteland areas and we have an interest in sensitively developing and managing the fauna, flora and habitats in these types of area.
We support the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, which aim to promote the conservation and study of nature, and to educate the public in understanding and appreciating nature. We also work with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, which supports biodiversity schemes contributing to the halt and reverse of declines in the UK's bumblebees by managing land in a bee-friendly way.
Shoeburyness Station is both the start of our route and the beginning of our journey in supporting the aims of these and other similar organisations.
There is a small area of land opposite the station, which was overgrown, strewn with waste and used for fly tipping. Volunteers have worked tirelessly to clear the waste and make the area more accessible and picturesque.
Environment and Energy Targets
Traction Energy
Our trains are the single most significant energy use for our business and account for approximately 90% of our total annual energy use. A target was set to reduce our traction energy use per passenger km by 3% based on our 2013 baseline performance. This target has been exceeded in 2014 and 2015 but in 2016 the reduction was below target as a result of the new timetable which introduced additional train services.
Site Energy
Our site energy accounts for the remainder of our annual energy use and as with traction energy we set a target to reduce site electricity by 20% based on our 2013 baseline performance.
Water Consumption
c2c aims to use water responsibly and as part of that a target was set reduce total water consumption by 10% based on our 2013 baseline. In 2016 the water consumption increased and this was partly as a result of additional train washing and an increase in tenants at stations.
c2c set a target to divert all non hazardous waste away from landfill by recycling and energy from waste. c2c successfully maintained zero non hazardous waste to landfill for the last two years.

MONTAUK, NEW YORK — "I DON'T THINK senior citizens should have to pay school taxes -- unless they have a kid in school.'' So went the wisdom of the New York state assemblyman John Behan, a Republican, during a debate between local candidates at the firehouse here.
Hey, great idea! How about this one? I don't think junior citizens, those of us younger than 62, should have to pay Social Security or Medicare taxes.
It happens that Assemblyman Behan had a tough race this year, so perhaps he should be forgiven a bit of demagoguery. He's just another politician trying to stay off unemployment. And he's not the only one with the relatively new idea that Americans should pay taxes only for the government services they actually use.
