The clients are different, but the question is always basically the same. Can you redesign my website?
The clients are different, but the question is always basically the same. Can you redesign my website?
It doesn't matter how the question is phrased, every time it's asked, I give the same response:
There is no such thing as a Re Design. It's true; a redesign of a website is simply a repackaging. It's taking the same content and putting it in a new dress. Or taking the same software or function and adding some make-up. Now seriously, why would you want to do that?
There can only be a handful of reasons to even entertain the thought of it:
1. The current site doesn't work. It's broken, kaput!
2. The current site is no longer effectively selling your product or service.
3. It's outdated and ugly.
4. You just woke up and decided to change everything for the sake of changing things.
5. Somebody told you it was a good idea.
Here's a breakdown of those reasons, and whether or not a redesign is the solution.
1. If the current site is broken: Well if it's broke, you've got to fix it. And if it needs to be fixed, why use duct tape and glue? Building it correctly from the ground up is a smarter use of your money, and will most likely cost you the same thing - or less. And you can build it with the latest technology, optimized for search, easier updating and better functionality
2. If the site is no longer effectively selling your product or service: Why repackage something that doesn't sell? A good developer will tell you why it's not selling - he just needs to look at the data. Let him show you why it's a lame duck, then have him give you the alternatives.
3. If it's outdated and ugly: Well this is pretty self-explanatory but I will say this: I've seen a lot of "ugly" sites sell a lot of product; don't base your decision on ugly - that's a matter of opinion. I've told many people with ugly sites NOT to touch them. Hey, if they sell, who cares what they look like, right? Outdated is a different story. You can't compete with today's sites using outdated technology. Just ask MySpace
4. If you just woke up and decided to change everything: Go shoe shopping. Buy a new hat. But realize when you call a web developer, you're not going to be happy with anything he does. You'll be wasting your money and driving some poor developer nutso for nothing.
5. If somebody told you to redesign your website: Odds are, that person is a web designer - NOT a web developer, and trust me, there is a huge difference between the two. A web designer is going to give you exactly what you ask for - the colors, the content, the buttons, the pictures - the exact website you tell him to build. A web developer is going to tell you honestly if and why you're wrong about all of those things. A developer is going to tell you that your bio is great, but it doesn't sell you. Or that your photos make you look like an alien life form. A developer is going to tell you how and why to build it this way. And let's be honest - if you knew the exact site you needed to have with the colors, content, buttons and pictures, you wouldn't need to hire someone would you?
If I want to build a house, I'm going to call a guy who builds houses, not a guy who paints them.
So, when is it time to redesign? If your site isn't selling, it's possible that tweaking the content, navigational tools or other elements will help. But before you decide a paint job is the answer, consult a web developer, who can provide an objective opinion based on quantifiable data.
When is it time to build anew? If your site is broken or outdated, it may be time to tear it down to the studs and start fresh, using all the new wisdom and whirligigs that have become available just in the past five years or so.
In either case, I suggest staying away from the duct tape.

It took a friend's 83-year old tennis playing mom to turn me on to the excitement of the Indian Wells BNP Paribas Masters tournament. I'd played varsity tennis eons ago when rackets were made of wood, Stan Smith tennis shoes were cool and Borg-McEnroe's feisty encounters were the main event. So long ago I don't even remember why I hung up the racket and took to watching tennis from the couch.
My friend's mom was serious about her tennis, visiting Palm Springs from Seattle to play hours a day. Over dinner, after cutting it up on the dance floor at Melvyn's, she enthused about the Indian Wells tournament: "such a great experience, an exceptional chance to see the best men's and women's players, not to be missed". Caught up in her lively energy I decided it might be worth a try. Always urging friends to "take advantage of the museums, the theatre, all that great stuff – why don't you ever go!" it was time for me to walk my talk.
I decided to wing it; if I could spontaneously get a ticket I'd go. Entering the grounds I was immediately caught up in the crowd's anticipatory energy and buzz and felt relieved to score a decent seat for the day's matches in the main stadium. My first impression was simply wow – what a magnificent setting! We residents sometimes forget how spectacular the desert is and the stadium, dramatically framed by azure blue sky, waving palm trees and the San Jacinto Mountains, was surrounded by a view that truly did look like paradise. The abundance of happy grins and colorful summer attire was a giveaway out-of-towners were soaking up the sun and warm winter weather we take for granted. My pants, long sleeve t-shirt and sweater ("in case it gets chilly") seemed out of place but, hey, evening temps below 60 mean winter here!
Wandering around to get my bearings I noticed a lean, super tall guy and thought he looked familiar. Wait a minute…it was top US player John Isner walking into the player's cafeteria! While there are restricted areas to give players privacy there's also a lot of opportunity to see them casually going about their day which was a fantastic treat.
The practice court was my favorite: it's general admission and you sit courtside on bleachers, right up in the action. A small crowd "oohing and aahing" led me to Rafael Nadal belting out practice forehands with astonishing intensity. The sound of his racket hitting the ball at such close range was like having the sound from a musical note vibrate right through you. To hear his accompanying signature grunt was icing on the cake. Mesmerized – this is amazing! – I oohed and aahed with the best of them then watched Rafa sign balls for a line-up of fans (mostly kids). He was smiling and relaxed, stopping to pose for pictures until pulled away to return to business. I'd read Indian Wells is a much-loved, favorite tournament for many of these players and you can really see that's true.
Heading up to the main stadium I stopped on the stairs to take in the stunning views, the beautiful day, and the experience so far. The stadium was impressive with a Grand Slam feeling that promised epic excitement. Everything about the facility was top notch and showed great attention to detail. I hadn't even seen a match yet and I was hooked.
And, oh what matches! When a frustrated Juan Martin del Potro argued with the chair umpire there was a collective holding of breath; a wave of "yeah, stick it to the man!" rippled through the crowd. That segued into shouts of "come ON girl" when Maria Sharapova took the court. It was a lot of fun meeting the folks around my seat and observing how we all watched and responded to favorite players. I was sandwiched between two delightful, quiet women who came to life once Roger Federer appeared. Reverent gasps and hushed exclamations came thick and fast. Federer's supremely elegant style of play made his match look deceptively easy. The woman to my right leaned over to say she was from Colorado and took daily tennis lessons. Her coach told her she needed to come here to watch the pros in person because it would really help improve her game. She was positively inspired. Feeling a bit like a slacker the only thing for it was to have an ice cream bar and console myself by hoping yoga class could maybe count for some cardio.
The last match of the day session featured Rafael Nadal vs. David Nalbandian. The energy in the stadium shifted again and when Nadal started meticulously lining up his water bottles on some invisible ley line his fans nodded knowingly. Watching this match was a more visceral experience; when Rafa bellowed his first "vamos" and got a fist pump going I thought the man behind me was going to blow my eardrums out with his own shouts of "GO Rafa!" He leaned in to share he "wouldn't miss this for the world" and drives from Arizona for the entire tournament each year. His kids play tennis but he's never picked up a racket. He simply loves watching his favorite players.
I hadn't picked up a racket either yet was fired up with adrenaline. We'd all been glued to our seats for hours, too excited to budge. It really was incredible that in one day I'd seen so many top players in such pleasant and beautiful surroundings. When it was time to leave the stadium before the night session began, my seat mates thanked one another for the shared experience, knowing we'd all witnessed a slice of history and feeling so appreciative we'd just seen some of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
Admiring a brilliant coral pink sky as the sun set behind the mountains I decided to cap off a great day by walking through the gardens. With echoes of "vamos" still ringing in my ears I stopped off in the gift shop for a teal blue t-shirt then ambled by a laid-back crowd lounging with drinks outside the stadium in front of the giant-screen TV showing live matches. The beer gardens were in full swing and delicious smells wafted from food booths. I was a little starry-eyed, thinking we surely had an old tennis racket buried in the garage somewhere, when I remembered our dog was patiently waiting at home for her long overdue potty break.
Ah well. Better to savor this remarkable, special discovery and look forward to adding on an extra day (or two) to the tournament next time. More matches on the outer courts, a new second stadium and other improvements are planned for 2014 – I wouldn't miss it for the world.

In case you haven't already heard the news, 2011 Philly's Phunniest Person Tommy Pope has been selected to perform as a New Face at the prestigious 2012 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. We caught up with Tommy to ask him some questions about his recent achievement.
WITOUT: First of all, congratulations on being selected as a New Face for the 2012 Just for Laughs Festival. What was the audition process like?
Tommy Pope: Thanks buddy. It was fun. Auditions are fun, right? Like contests! Comedy contests are fun too, right? Do you like murder? Murder is fun. So, there were 3 rounds of auditions in NY and it lasted around 6 months. The tough part is that you don't receive any feedback after your set. You just hope to get a callback months later. But receiving the invitation is worth all the stress. And blood.
WO: How did you choose your audition set? Did you pick your favorite jokes, or try to pick a set that had a theme, or that would best represent your own specific voice? Did you change it for each callback?
TP: I learned a lot about constructing a short set from performing in Philly's Phunniest. I'd say it's a mixture of all those things. Its my favorite jokes that have a theme as well as represent my voice. Btw, I would never say that last sentence out loud for fear of turning into an actual asshole. Throughout the 6 months I definitely wanted to change it. I have newer bits that I enjoy telling but you know the previous round worked so I just added chunks and tags.
WO: When did you find out that you were selected? Was it hard to keep the big news a secret?
TP: I found out May 30th, 4:07 pm. Seriously, I took a screen shot. It was terrible holding it in. It's my first credit and you can't share it with anyone. I didn't even tell loved ones outside of the comedy circle for fear that they would post it on my Facebook wall. The last thing I need is my Aunt Mimi fucking up my dream with a simple post like, "Your Mom told me about Canada, you should bring a girl over for cake. Neil's cutting the lawn."
WO: Since knowing that you're going to Montreal, have you made any changes in the way you approach stand-up in preparation for the festival?
TP: Not a thing. If it ain't broke…keep drinking every night till your anxiety makes you question your existence.
WO: Have you talked to any other comedians who may have been New Faces in recent years for any pointers or advice? If so, what are some of your favorite words of wisdom?
TP: I've spoken to a few but not about advice, just well wishing. The most memorable quote came from Mark Normand, who described Montreal as "Comedy Disneyland".
WO: Historically, Montreal has been a place where many comedians have arrived as unknowns and left with television deals. Do you have any pitches in your brain in case they come a-knocking?
TP: I have a pitch idea about a sitcom where John McKeever and I get married and make videos from the comfort of our own Jet-skis. It's (loosely) based on real life.
WO: What's next for you? Do you have any specific plans or goals for the near or long-term future?
TP: I plan on doing standup and continuing to make quality videos with BirdText. We have some great things in the pipeline. But we need money. Seriously. Do you like murder?
You can see Tommy perform at Helium Comedy Club hosting and closing the Philly's Phunniest Person Contest. He also produces sketch comedy videos as a member of Bird Text.

Many were moved by Caitlyn Jenner's special recognition at the 2015 ESPYs on Wednesday night, but it proved to be an exceptionally memorable night for one ESPN employee.
Courtney Pollack joined ESPN in 2003, and in 2004 she became the first transgender employee at the network to transition on the job from male to female. She is the communication chair for ESPN EQUAL, ESPN's Employee Resource Group (ERG) for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, and on Wednesday night, she experienced Caitlyn's monumental moment live.
"The most anticipated moment of the show began as soccer star Abby Wambach introduced Caitlyn Jenner as the 2015 recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award," Pollack wrote in a piece for ESPN Front Row.
U.S. & World
"A beautiful video package was played highlighting the life of Ms. Jenner's Olympic fame, and her struggles with gender identity. She graciously accepted the award which was followed by a very powerful and moving acceptance speech," she continued.
"With tears in my eyes, my children's hands clenched in mine, I realized that on this very night, the transgender community had finally arrived!"
What made the night even more remarkable was that Pollack and her children had the opportunity to meet Caitlyn following the awards show during Jenner's private reception.
"With my kids in tow, my ESPN colleagues Sara Johnson (with her brother), Christina Kahrl (alongside her wife) and I were escorted to a private reception where we would join Caitlyn with her family and friends to celebrate her special night," Pollack wrote.
"We met Caitlyn, and shared food and drinks, accompanied by wonderful conversation with her and other guests. This was absolutely a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life."
In her emotional acceptance speech, the 65-year-old Olympic athlete spoke up for the transgender community, encouraging everyone to try and be accepting of one another. She also thanked her wonderfully supportive family, later admitting to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts that "it wasn't easy" to hold her emotions together when talking about her kids.
"My family have been so supportive of what's happening," said Caitlyn, whose six biological children (Kylie, Kendall, Brody, Brandon, Casey and Burt Jenner) and three stepchildren (Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian) were all in the audience cheering for her. "My kids are great. They're absolutely wonderful. I'm blessed to have just wonderful children."
It was with their support, Caitlyn told Robin, that she was able to go public with her transition. This marked a major milestone in LGBT history, and as Caitlyn bravely shared her own story, she empowered others like her and helped the general public understand, as she put it, that "we're all different. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing."
Watch the "I Am Cait" premiere on E! on Sunday, July 26 at 8 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Arizona State contends with a variety of offenses in the Pac-12 conference.
From the Air Raid at Washington State to the power running game at Stanford to the pro styles at Southern California to the fast-paced option at Oregon.
None of that will prepare the Sun Devils (7-5) for what they will face on Saturday in the Fight Hunger Bowl when they take on Navy (8-4) and its vaunted triple-option running attack.
``Honestly it's totally different from everything we've seen all season and my five years here,'' linebacker Brandon Magee said. ``Their offense is really disciplined. They can get the ball to the quarterback, they can pitch it, they can hand it off to the fullback and they can also beat you deep on some passes if you fall asleep on the passing game. Very explosive offense.''
Navy is sixth in the nation in rushing with 275.6 yards per game and has won seven of eight games heading into the bowl matchup against the Sun Devils.
Arizona State coach Todd Graham said he would have been ``miserable'' if this game was in the regular season and he only had a few days to prepare. He hopes his past experiences going against triple-option teams and the extra practice before the bowl game will help his team's preparation.
The Sun Devils have gone to unusual measures in their preparation, using cornerback Robert Nelson as the scout team quarterback simulating running plays.
``The knowledge of the triple option and being able to put it on the board and being able to talk about it is one thing,'' Navy slotback Bo Snelson said. ``But to go out and practice and have guys who have never run it before, guys who aren't as in tune to the nuances of the offense and have them run it at the speed we do, that's extremely difficult to do.''
Stopping the option is simple in the abstract - players must be disciplined enough to stay with their responsibility and not try to freelance, which can open up big running lanes.
It's appropriate that discipline is the keyword in the final game of Graham's first season as coach because that has been the key to the team's success all year.
Graham took over from Dennis Erickson and immediately set out to change the culture that led to the Sun Devils leading the nation last year in penalties per game and penalty yardage. This season Arizona State is tied for the 11th fewest penalties in the nation and is hoping for its first bowl win since 2005.
``People will meet whatever expectations you set,'' Graham said. ``I was very fortunate because these guys embraced it. I don't yell and scream or tell them to do this and that. I put in a values system and here's the values we'll be about and here's the accountability.''
Navy has become more difficult to defend since making a quarterback switch early in the season when the Midshipmen turned to freshman Keenan Reynolds.
Reynolds led a comeback win against Air Force that helped Navy get out of the hole of a 1-3 start has not looked back ever since. He has thrown for eight touchdowns, run for 10 more and thrown just one interception, giving the Midshipmen a legitimate passing attack to pair with the option running game,
``If knew he was that poised we'd have put him in earlier,'' coach Ken Niumatalolo said. ``He's exceeded my expectations. We knew he was a good quarterback, that's why he moved up the ladder pretty quickly. I didn't know he'd be this good. Right now he has a chance to be the best quarterback we've had in my time at the academy. He's on that track.''
Arizona State will be playing the game with heavy hearts after running back Marion Grice's brother was killed in Houston last week. He rejoined the team for practice in San Francisco and will leave from the game to go to his brother's funeral, along with members of the coaching staff.
``He felt like his brother would want him to play and be here,'' Graham said. ``I personally think it will be a lot better for him.''
The game is sponsored by Kraft and is dedicated to fighting hunger in the United States. Three meals will be donated to local food backs for each ticket sold, with more than 100,000 meals expected to be donated this year.
Both teams also spent Christmas day serving meals to needy families in the San Francisco area.
``I haven't had an experience in a bowl game that came close to that experience of serving,'' Graham said

text: Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky; Beneath it rung the battle shout, And burst the cannon's roar;— The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more. Her deck, once red with heroes' blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe, When winds were hurrying o'er the flood, And waves were white below, No more shall feel the victor's tread, Or know the conquered knee;— The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea! Oh, better that her shattered hulk Should sink beneath the wave; Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there should be her grave; Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail, And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale!

Great News out of Reds-ville, Affeldt Signs with the Giants
If the compensatory pick wasn't available, then I would have been happy to have Affeldt back on the $8M deal the Giants cut. However, the Giants and Reds weren't in the same situation, as the draft pick tips the scales the Reds gambled on Affeldt last off-season on a one year contract and it paid off in a big way. It's impossible for an outsider to say that the Reds planned to sign Affeldt in hopes of landing a compensatory pick, but one can certainly hope. If that wasn't the plan, then hopefully they can now see the value in churning players. And, hopefully they can see it in a hurry, because they are waffling back and forth on David Weathers.
Before the free agency period began, Walt Jocketty stated that they had made an offer to Weathers and I was none-to-pleased. However, Weathers and his agent stated that no offer had been made. When free agency arrived, Weathers announced that he had "flipped the page" on the Reds and it looked like a second compensatory pick was forthcoming. However, it looks like the Reds are back in the mix, as negotiations are on-going.
One would have to hope that the Reds realize that the draft pick is going to yield more value to the organization than a 39 year old reliever, but the Reds may just choose to ride the value of Weathers right into the ground.
Turning back to Affeldt, his departure opens up a slot in the bullpen for a second southpaw. Personally, I'd be very interested in seeing what Danny Herrera could do as the second lefty out of the bullpen. Billy Bray should be just fine as the primary lefty, but the Reds seem heistant to rely on Herrera. They may well be right, as depth is an important attribute for an MLB team, but I think Herrera and Matt Maloney could both do a nice job out of the bullpen. I'd still like to see Maloney in the rotation, but if he falls short then he could be in the mix for the spot in the bullpen vacated by Jeremy Affeldt.
In 2008, Herrera struck out 9.82 batters per nine innings and posted a 3.50 GB/FB ratio. In 7.1 innings, Herrera racked up 8 strikeouts, 14 ground balls, 4 fly balls, and 4 line drives. Unfortunately, those stats come with a 7.36 ERA, but that is likely the result of his poor luck. He posted a very unlucky BABIP at .415 (should be ~ .300) and LOB% at 58.8% (should be around 70%), so he allowed more hits than was to be expected and stranded fewer runners than you would expect. Admittedly, it's difficult to draw any significant conclusions based on such a small sample size, but I do think there are some real positives there. Best of all, Herrera is a groundball machine, which helped him succeed at high altitude for the University of New Mexico. Of course, he doesn't fit the mold of a major league pitcher, topping out at 5'7" and 83.8 mph. Still, height and velocity aren't everything, so Herrera could be an intriguing fit in Great American Ballpark. But, will he get a chance?
2 comments:
Not trying Herrera as a situational lefty would beg the question of why trade for such a guy. His .206 avg and 1.01 whip against lefties in the minors should give them some confidence. If they want more options, they should look to make a minor league trade from depth at the AA/AAA level.ReplyDelete
On a slightly related note, do you think Mike Lincoln has what it takes to make a big statistical leap this year? I figure he would need to have an ERA in the 3.30 or 3.40 area (when combined with the '08 numbers) to get TYPE B status. I guess a better question is who are the best candidates to earn that status that didn't earn it with their 06/07 numbers? Do you know of any websites that provide that anaylsis for available free agents? Thanks.
Hey Matt,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment!
I think you hit the nail on the head with the Herrera comment. If they aren't willing to give him a shot, then why acquire him? Herrera has always brought thoughts of Carlos Guevara to my mind. Guevara was a screwball pitcher who always posted good numbers for the Reds, but never got a shot. The Reds left him unprotected and he was selected by the Padres in Rule V draft last season. Herrera is like Guevara in that he relies heavily on a change-up/screwball type pitch for his success. So, it begs the question, if Guevara wasn't viewed as part of the future because of his reliance on a "gimmick" pitch, then where does that leave Herrera? Is he in the future plans at all? I have my suspicions.
As for your second point, you might be right. Lincoln could be our best bet for signing a player to a deal who could net us a draft pick after the season. I have been hard on Lincoln this year, but he actually did have a pretty solid season. And, he does do some things rather well. He chalks up a ton of groundballs and has a nice breaking ball. So, if he can take a step forward in 2009, he *COULD* be the guy to net us a draft pick.
I don't know of any site that provides that type of analysis, especially since Elias doesn't release the formula, so it would have to be reverse engineered, but you are on the right track of what criteria the Reds should be considering. They need 1) a player who was injured or unimpressive in 2007, 2) solid/impressive in 2008, 3) willing to take a one year deal for 2009, and 4) attractive enough after 2009 to garner interest from other clubs.
In addition to Mike Lincoln, a couple of other guys that look promising are Kyle Farnsworth, Eddie Guardado, and Keith Foulke.
Farnsworth is FAR from my favorite player, but he was solid in 2008 (4.48 ERA, 9.1 K/9) and can still run it up there 95/96 mph. He has had two season with a sub 3.00 ERA and another season with a sub 4.00 ERA. So, he has the potential to post a season in 2009 that could net us a pick. In addition, he's young enough (33 next year) to be attractive after 2009 if he posts a nice season.
Another guy that I like and frankly wish the Reds had kept is Eddie Guardado. He posted a 4.15 ERA in 2008 and is another year removed from his major arm surgery. His 2007 season with the Reds was 13.2 innings of 7.24 ERA, so when that drops out he could net a draft pick. Unlike Farnsworth, he's very likable and survives on guile rather than stuff. If he comes back to the non-DH league in 2009, then his numbers could get a bit of a bump. Frankly, I think Eddie could be a better bet to post a 2009 season that would get compensation, however he's likely to be less attractive due to his age (38 in 2009). However, given that he's lefthanded and would likely only get Type B status, any team who signed him after 2009 wouldn't have to give up any draft picks to sign him.
The final guy on my radar is Keith Foulke. Foulke posted a solid 4.06 ERA in 2008, but suffered from some arm soreness as well and only worked in 31.0 innings. Still, if he posts a solid 55-60 innings of work in 2009, I'd think he'd be a nice bet for Type B compensation. He'll be 36 in 2009, so would still be of interest to other teams. The question on Foulke, of course, comes down to health. Still, he might be the most willing to sign a one year contract for 2009.
Anyway, you raise a nice point on Lincoln, as he could be the best bet to net us a draft pick. If not him, then I'd consider Farnsworth, Eddie, and Foulke. I'll have to look into it a little deeper, but at the moment those seem like 4 possibilities.
There are a couple of other guys I'd consider on a two year deal (Fernando Cabrera, etc) who could net us compensation after 2010, but I'd still like to get additional picks after this season.
Anyway, thanks for the insightful comment.

Woman causes fatal crash while using 2 cell phones
Judge calls distracted drivers a 'plague on society'
A judge called a woman - and other motorists who use mobile devices while driving - a "plague on society" as he sentenced her to six years in jail following a fatal crash she caused while using two mobile phones behind the wheel.
Police say Marina Usaceva of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England was driving her J aguar at speeds up to 70 mph and using two mobile devices when she crashed into the back of Sukhdeep Singh Johal's Peugeot 206, causing the death of the 27-year-old biomedical science graduate.
The Toowoomba Chronicle reports that Usaceva insisted to officers at the scene she had not been using a phone behind the wheel before the crash.
However, an investigation determined that Usaceva sent a text message just before the crash and receive one - on another device - around the same time.
In addition, a Samsung phone sent one message, made one phone call and received three incoming calls in the 20 minutes leading up to the crash.
Prosecutors in the case also noted that Usaceva had previously been caught twice using her phone behind the wheel and that her license was suspended in 2009 and 2012.

In the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the aurumvorax (IPA ərəmˈvɔəræks , ə-rəm-VOHR-aks[1]), or "golden gorger," is a magical beast.
Publication historyEdit
The aurumvorax was created by Gary Gygax, and first appeared in 1980's Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.[2] The creature later appeared in the original Monster Manual II (1983). The aurumvorax was further developed in Dragon #132 (April 1988).[3]
The aurumvorax appeared in the second edition Monstrous Manual (1993).
The aurumvorax appeared in the third edition in Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (2007).
The aurumvorax seems to have a deep affection for precious ores and minerals, which it consumes to supplement its mainly carnivorous diet. It often lairs near places where such things can be found. Gold seems to be its preferred inorganic dish. Many say that the aurumvorax's disproportionate strength is due to eating these things. The aurumvorax is widely hunted for its fur, which can be used to make garments of great strength and beauty.
The aurumvorax makes its home in alpine forests. Aurumvoraxes often burrow into solid rock to make their lairs.
Typical physical characteristicsEdit
An aurumvorax resembles something akin to a rodent or mustelid such as a badger, weasel, marmot, gopher or ferret, but larger, and it has eight legs. It also has slightly leonine features, and its golden-brown fur is as strong as plate armor. Despite the small size and rodent-like appearance, the aurumvorax is quite physically powerful.
Aurumvoraxes are neutral.
The aurumvorax is a solitary creature with similar habits to many real-life woodland animals.
Aurumvoraxes cannot speak.
Other publishersEdit
The aurumvorax appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[4]

Olympus has refreshed its Pen range on an annual basis, and with each increment there tends to be a trickle of new features. But the E-PM2, or "Pen Mini" as it's otherwise known, pulls in the same 16-megapixel sensor as found in the OM-D E-M5 and is the first of two Pen cameras to push beyond the "Olympus 12-megapixel barrier".
We might be worried about the resolution because of the Micro Four Thirds sensor size, but the OM-D has already proved just how much its sensor can achieve, so the E-PM2 ought to be very welcome and capable of delivering some ace results. We weren't able to test pictures with our sample camera as it was a pre-production model.
The E-PM2 is still the baby of the Pen range though, replacing the E-PM1 after approximately a year of shelf life.
Compared to its predecessor there aren't stacks of new features, but an upgrade to "fast AF" autofocus thanks in part to the TruePic VI engine is much like the OM-D in speed terms.We were impressed.
Just as with its predecessor there's no mode dial, unlike other Pen models such as the E-PL5 that's also announced (click for our hands-on first look), which makes for a more menu-based user experience. But as the E-PL5 won't cost much more than the E-PM2 at all, we don't think that's a major problem: the decision rests with the buyer.
However there's still no built-in pop-up flash. Yes there's one included in the box, but we think that the baby of the group should, considering its target audience, build one into the body.
Art filters have also seen a small upgrade, with the likes of watercolour and tinted mono added to the menus. There's even the option, so we're told, to fade between one art filter and another during movie capture - but as the model we had a play with wasn't a final version this wasn't something we could test. Shame.
The E-PM2 will also support Toshiba's FlashAir Wi-Fi enabled SD card should you fancy sharing pictures on the go. This means you needn't pay a price premium for Wi-Fi unless it's something you truly want, and there's no bulky extra unit to attach to the camera either.
In addition to the E-PL2's announcement there's also a brand new "body cap" lens. As you can see from the picture in our gallery, this puts the "pan" in pancake - it's teeny tiny. The lens is a 15mm (30mm equiv.) fixed f/8 aperture with an infinity/macro/closed slider on the front rather than a lens cap. It's anticipated to retail for only £70 too and, although it won't be suited to all snappers, it sure does keep the size of the package down to something very pocketable indeed.
Expect to see the E-PM2 hit the shelves soon. It'll be available in black, white and silver finishes - no brown or purple options this time - and has been penned in (yep, terrible pun) for a €599 starting price. No final word on pricing in the UK or other territories however.
