YORK, PA – The hot shooting Messiah College Falcons men's basketball team spoiled the York College home opener on Tuesday night as the Falcons picked up a 75-62 non-conference win in York.
The Spartans remain in search of win number one as they fall to 0-3 while Messiah improves to 1-2.
The Falcons got their long distance shooting dialed up midway through the half as they canned five of their six first half three pointers over a ten minute stretch, turning a 5-5 tie into a 29-21 lead with 7:36 remaining in the first half.
Messiah pushed the lead to 10 before the Green and White got a Mitch Kemp (York, Pa./York Suburban) triple and a Matt McNeely (Bel Air, Md./C. Milton Wright) hoop, trimming the Falcon lead to five. The Falcons ended the half with a game-changing 12-2 run that pushed the Messiah lead to 15 at the break.
The guests shot 61.5% in the first half while they outrebounded York 14-8 in the stanza. The Spartans shot the ball well, converting 50% from the floor, but the Falcons made six more field goals to forge the double digit lead at the break.
Messiah carried their half-ending run to the start of the second as they scored seven of the first nine points of the half, increasing their lead to 20 at 50-30.
The Falcons maintained their lead in the high teens before twice pushing the advantage to a game-high 23 midway through the half.
The Spartans kept attacking the Falcons as York fashioned a six-minute 16-5 run that trimmed their deficit to 72-60. Unfortunately for York, they ran out of time as the Falcons finished off the 13-point win.
Messiah placed four players in double figures led by Brad Bolen as he poured in a game-high 22 points. Bolen was 7-for-11 from the floor including 4-of-6 from three while he was also 4-for-4 from the line. Derek Mosley contributed 17 points, three rebounds and three assists. Scott Bolen chipped in with 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting including 3-of-4 from three and 2-for-2 from the line. Taylor Groff was the fourth Falcon in double figures with 12 points. Point guard Zac Hoy had a fantastic floor game as he tallied nine assists with one steal and zero turnovers in his 37 minutes of action. Hoy added seven rebounds and three points for the Falcons.
Senior Julian Watson (Odenton, Md./Arundel) led the Spartans as he tallied 18 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the floor. Watson also had six rebounds and four rebounds for the Green and White. Kemp was the other Spartan in double figures with 10 points as he was 3-for-5 from three and 1-for-1 at the stripe. Kemp also notched six rebounds and four assists. Senior Jeremy Skoloda (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley), senior Todd Maciejewski (Red Lion, Pa./Red Lion), and junior Mike Mathews (Newark, Del./Salesianum) each contributed nine points to the Spartan offense.
York actually finished the game with a higher percentage from the field as they converted 55.8% of their attempts from the floor. The Spartans were a very efficient 9-for-15 (60%) from the three-point arc. The Falcons shot 54% in the game while they went 11-for-23 (47.8%) from three and a sharp 10-for-12 from the stripe.
The Falcons outrebounded York 27-20 while they also did a great job of taking care of the ball, committing just eight turnovers in the game. The Spartans made 11 miscues in the game, which resulted in 16 Falcon points.
York's first-year head coach Matt Hunter knows the Spartans have run into three hot shooting teams.
"Our guys are competing like crazy," said Hunter. "We've run into three teams that have shot the ball incredibly well to start the year. Guys have come out and made shots and some of those shots have been really well contested with the shot clock running down. You have to give credit to them, they stepped up and made shots."
Hunter isn't down on his team.
"I am not down about where we are at all," said the Spartan head coach. "We are improving every day and goal is to improve every day. I really like where we are heading."
The Spartans return to action on Sunday, November 25 when they travel to Gettysburg to face the Bullets in a non-conference contest. Tip time at Bream Gymnasium is set for 3:00 pm.

Paul Granger Sr.
Paul Granger Sr., who owned Suffolk Electric Motors in Sag Harbor, died of heart disease on Saturday at home in Noyac surrounded by family. He was 75.
Mr. Granger worked as a policeman in Southampton and as a radio dispatcher. Later he became a bay constable for Southampton and worked for the town's Highway Department at its Bridgehampton location.
"Everyone at the funeral and the wake came up to my family and told us what a nice gentleman he was," his daughter Lyllis Calaio said. "They said he always had a smile, a kind word, and could make you laugh. Our family always knew this, but it was so nice to hear strangers tell us that about our father."
Mr. Granger was born to George Henry Granger and the former Edith Heffron on July 29, 1936, in Jamaica, Queens. He attended Pierson High School in Sag Harbor and joined the Navy shortly afterward, going on to serve in the Korean War.
He married Lyllis King on June 14, 1958, at the Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor, and the two made their home in the village.
Mr. Granger was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and an honorary member of the Sag Harbor Fire Department.
In addition to Ms. Calaio, who lives in Medford, Mr. Granger is survived by two other children, Paul Granger Jr. of Mooresville, N.C., and Lisa G. Arnister of Noyac, and by his wife. Two brothers, Ray Granger of Monticello, Ky., and Robert Granger of California, also survive, as do six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Visiting hours were held on Monday at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor. Burial with military honors was on Tuesday at Oakland Cemetery in the village. The family has suggested memorial donations to the Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Sag Harbor Fire Department, P.O. Box 209, Sag Harbor 11963.

For the 23 million Americans with asthma—seven million of them children—inhaling and exhaling can sometimes be as difficult as breathing through a straw.
Thanks to the National Asthma Control Initiative (NACI), a program of the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP), coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), we now have a tremendous opportunity to help them breathe easier.
The NACI is a multi-component, mobilizing, and action-oriented initiative to engage diverse stakeholders who are concerned about or involved in improving asthma control. Its ultimate aim is to bring the asthma care that patients receive in line with evidence-based recommendations from two reports published by the NAEPP: the Expert Panel Report 3—Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma (EPR-3) and its companion Guidelines Implementation Panel (GIP) Report—Partners Putting Guidelines Into Action. The NACI is bringing together organizations from local, state, regional, and national levels so that they can share best practices, pool and direct resources, and identify new directions and learning opportunities.
The NACI focuses on three major efforts—NACI Demonstration Projects, the NACI Strategic Partnership Program, and the NACI Champions Program. In communities across the country, these efforts are engaging health care professionals, patients and families, schools and childcare settings, professional associations, and many others to implement innovative, strategic interventions to overcome barriers to implementing clinical guidelines and reducing asthma disparities. Through such efforts, the NACI hopes to speed the adoption of these recommendations by clinicians and adherence to them by patients and their families and caregivers.
The NACI seeks to produce high-impact solutions and meaningful change in asthma control by:
At the core of the NACI are six priority messages selected from the EPR-3 and detailed in the GIP Report. If practiced routinely and implemented widely, these action-oriented messages have the power to improve asthma control and transform the lives of people with asthma:
Failure to control asthma diminishes physical, psychological, and social wellbeing and quality of life; increases health disparities, particularly among African American, Puerto Rican, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations; and places added burden on families, schools, workplaces, and health care systems. It affects us all. Furthermore, the costs of asthma to the United States economy, ranging from hospitalizations to lost wages, are projected to reach $20.7 billion in 2010.
That's why we encourage you, as a health care professional, community practitioner, educator, decision-maker, or concerned citizen, to become part of the NACI. Join the NACI's collaborative efforts to improve asthma care, asthma control, and quality of life for all people with asthma.

Arkansas – Are You Serious?
I wonder what this seasons goals were for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Having lost their five top scorers from a team that made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season, I would bet probably not too lofty.
- Finish over .500 in conference
- Be competitive enough to be more than a "bubble team"
- Get at least one "statement" win to help previous goal. After last night, they have two.
Just days after defeating then No. 4 ranked Oklahoma Sooners, the Arkansas Razorbacks come back with another win over a top ten ranked team defeating .
John Pelphrey's young team thrived off the excitement of a packed house and a national audeince and went blow for blow with a veteran Longhorn team. Led by junior forward Michael Washington's 22 points and 9 rebounds, the Razorback were confident and not afraid of the Longhorns.
Arkansas guard Stefan Welsh drew the assignment of guarding Texas star A.J. Abrams and Welsh held the sharpshooter to seven points. Abrams was 3 for 16 from the floor, hit one three point shot, and did not get to the foul line. Welsh did a good job of riding Abram's hip and making him into a dribbler and not allowing to be the shooter he is known for.
Texas did not have an answer for Washington and his length and activity around the rim and that lead to Washington's "and one" dunk with 30 seconds left over Texas' Damian James to solidfy the win for the Razorbacks.
This game was not pretty, and should not have been as close as it was. Arkansas was on 14-21 from the foul line and was out rebounded 32-45 with the Longhorns grabbing 18 offensive rebounds.
Big Ten Clash
Michigan State hosted Ohio State in what I call the first "measuring stick" game for the Big Ten. Both teams have played the Minnesota Golden Gophers with MSU beating the Gophers 70-58, while OSU lost 68-59. This also plays to my theory that the Big Ten will be a dog fight for the top five spots.
The game was tied 20-20 with under seven to go in the first half and then MSU went on a 16-4 scoring run to close the half. Durning the run, Michigan State looked like a top-5 team. The Spartans ran, moved the ball quickly and shoot well from deep.
Even with the win, my biggest concern for Tom Izzo and the Spartans is Raymar Morgan.
The junior forward was mentioned as a Big-Ten player of the year candidate and last night, he was not the best player on his own team. That was sophomore guard Kalin Lucas. Morgan is talented, no question, but he can become completely ineffective at times.
Morgan went 5-14 and finished with 13 points and ten rebounds matching up against OSU's star Evan Turner and Dallas Lauderdale. If Morgan is able to raise his game, and be consistent, the Spartans will have a strong chance of reaching the Final Four in Detroit.
As far as the "measuring stick" aspect. Purdue and MSU have the most talented players in the Big-Ten, but teams like Minnesota, Illinois, OSU and Michigan are looking like better teams. Penn State is tough, experienced team (see below). This conference will be tight until the end.
OSU is missing athletic forward David Lighty. The last remaining player from the Buckeyes trip to the national championship game, is out for 6-12 weeks with a broken foot.
Quick Hits
Purdue lost to Penn State 67-64 with forward Robbie Hummel out with back issues and Chris Kramer out with a sprained left foot. Penn State did take advantage of Hummel's absence, out rebounding the Boilermakers 37-22.
Stat Line of the Night: Clemson's K.C Rivers had 12 points, nine rebounds – six offensive, three assists and four steals in the Tigers victory over Alabama.
West Virginia had a chance to flip the Big East up side down with a victory over UConn. But the starting front court for the Huskies of Jeff Adrien, Stanley Robinson and Hasheem Thabeet came up big finishing with 37 points and 35 rebounds, with 13 of Adrien's 17 coming in the second half.
Villanova needed overtime and 40 points from Scottie Reybnolds to beat Seton Hall 89-85. Dante Cunningham continues to imporive adding 21 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Homer Shout Out. North Dakota State's Ben Woodside is currently second in the nation in assists per game with 7.5. He also recently became the Bison's all-time leader scoring and is averaging 24 ppg and shooting 43 percent from deep.

Perth Glory stalwarts Scott Miller and Gareth Naven have been shown the door after a review of the club's coaching structure and football department.
Miller and Naven became legends of the club during their distinguished playing careers, and were lured back to the Glory last year as assistants under Alistair Edwards.
Edwards was sacked just nine months into his coaching tenure after a player revolt, and both Miller and Naven were axed this week after their positions were made redundant.
John Gibson has been selected for the new role of head of youth football development, joining goalkeeping coach Danny Milosevic and conditioning expert Toby Horak as new appointments.
Gibson is a former assistant coach of the Glory's national Youth League team, and a former head coach of Perth Glory's W-League team.
He also represented the Olyroos at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, as well as the Young Socceroos.
Gibson's appointment marks the conclusion of the club's internal review of its coaching structure and football department under new coach Kenny Lowe.
"I am looking forward to working with Perth Glory again and in improving our track record of developing and identifying our best young players and in creating an environment that brings the best out of them and keeps them here at the club," Gibson said.
Glory's playing squad has also had a makeover, with Republic of Ireland striker Andy Keogh, Wanderers attacker Youssouf Hersi, Newcastle Jets captain Ruben Zadkovich and former Socceroo Dino Djulbic joining the club.

Juniper Buys Contrail for (More) SDN Smarts
Phil Harvey, US Bureau Chief
Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: JNPR) announced late Wednesday in a blog post that it has acquired Contrail Systems , a software-defined networking (SDN) startup founded waaaay back in early 2012.
Juniper is getting Contrail for $176 million in cash and stock ($57.5 million in cash, plus 5.82 million shares of Juniper), says this Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
If you haven't yet heard of Contrail, please see two stories that give an idea of its capabilities and talent -- Contrail Wants to Be an SDN 'Compiler' and Juniper Veteran Departs for SDN Startup. This message board has a few clues, too.
We'll have more analysis of the situation Thursday. For now, it suffices to wonder if Kireeti Kompella will get his old parking spot back.

Band members names – role in band:
- Gen Tasker: Vocals
- Jamie Thompson: Guitar
- Robert Reeves: Guitar
- Scott Warner: Bass
- Stuart Bruce: Drums
Brief Band History:
Formed in the summer of 1999 in a local youth club. After producing an early demo tape the band secured initial live outings with Raging Speedhorn and Tribute to Nothing. Defenestration have been locked away in a recording studio for the past months, finishing off their soon to be released first album.
"We've been listening to a lot of alternative music for inspiration instead of metal stuff, and that's reflected to an extent in our own songs. We don't want to fall foul of typical metal clichés, we want a fresh perspective on things, with varying degrees of light and shade, melody and extremity."
What are your plans for the future, releases, tours etc..?
The band's debut album, "One Inch God" is due to be released through Dreamcatcher in the not too distant future. A full U.K. tour is proposed to coincide with the albums release.

Emdebian Multistrap information
Multistrap - multiple repository bootstrapping
[ Multistrap overview ] [ Secure Apt ] [ Example configurations ] [ Using multistrap for pbuilder chroots ] [ Multiple repositories ] [ Cascading configuration ] [ Cross building support ] [ Multistrap Wiki page ]
multistrap is the main tool for creating Emdebian root filesystems, replacing the old emsandbox tool used with Lenny.
Multistrap is a tool that starts off doing essentially same job as debootstrap but uses an entirely different method based on apt and extended to provide support for multiple repositories, using a configuration file to specify the relevant suites, architecture, extra packages and the mirror to use for each bootstrap.
Multistrap then extends the functionality to support automated creation of complete, bootable, root filesystems. It can merge packages from different repositories to make the rootfs. Extra packages are added to the rootfs simply by listing them - all dependencies are taken care of using apt. Current development in multistrap is to support user-specified scripts being added as hooks during the unpacking phase to add customised startup scripts and configure things like device nodes. (For this support, check the package in Debian experimental.)
Multistrap configuration and support
Multistrap includes a variety of configuration files for common usage (typical Debian suites and a variety of cross-building chroots). Multistrap supports cascading configurations where a specific configuration file includes a more general configuration file, which in turn is shared with other variations. This functionality is used by pdebuild-cross to create cross-building chroots.
Example simple configuration:
[General] arch=armel directory=/opt/multistrap/ cleanup=true noauth=false unpack=true aptsources=Grip Updates debootstrap=Debian [Debian] packages= source=http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian keyring=debian-archive-keyring suite=lenny
This will result in a completely normal debootstrap of Debian lenny from the specified mirror, for armel in /opt/multistrap.
Specify a package to extend the multistrap to include that package and all dependencies.
Specify more debootstraps by adding new sections. Section names are used in the debootstrap general option.
Section names are case-insensitive.
Setting Grip instead of Debian in the debootstrap option, as below, will provide a base system from Emdebian Grip 1.0 and locate any missing dependencies in Debian 5.0 Lenny, allowing you to add any package(s) you need from Debian that are not yet in Emdebian Grip. (Change the debootstrap line to specify Grip to enable the new section.)
[Grip] packages=locales keyring=emdebian-archive-keyring source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip suite=lenny
Using the Emdebian customisations with multistrap
All dependencies are resolved only by apt, using all configured repositories, to use only the most recent and most suitable dependencies. Note that multistrap turns off Install-Recommends so if the multistrap needs a package that is only a Recommended dependency, the recommended package needs to be specified in the packages line explicitly.
The Architecture and directory can be overridden on the command line. Most other general options have command line equivalents.
multistrap also implements the modified version of the machine:variant support originally used in Emdebian Crush. Using the cascading configuration support, particular variants can be supported by simple changes on the command line.
Setting a filename in the tarballname field allows multistrap to pack up the final filesystem into a tarball.
multistrap is stateless - if the directory exists, it will simply proceed as normal and apt will try to pick up where it left off.

World's Smallest Origami Sculptures are Truly Amazing [PICTURES]
Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper, is impressive enough on its own, let alone when it's done in miniature form. Yet that's what artist Anja Markiewicz does, creating amazingly tiny sculptures of things like animals and snowflakes out of paper less than an inch in width.
Here are a few examples — see more on her Flickr page.

For anyone who still follows the very expensive comedy of errors that is the F-35, the latest news is that the air from the big hole what all the hot air blows out on the vertical take off/land "B" model is too hot for most landing surfaces.
Apparently it requires a special military grade concrete mix, or a special 30 ton landing pad, which effectively negates the entire point of a V/STOL flying machine (i.e. operate in places of minimal infrastructure).

Just what will it take to kill this plane from hell? I sure hope Harper does not get his play toy.
On the other hand lots of people are making money already.

MoS, I don't know about the Harrier other than it had substantially less thrust, distrubuted through four nozzles, than the massive hot-air machine inside the F-35.

Animation, the art of making inanimate objects appear to move. Animation is an artistic impulse that long predates the movies. History's first recorded animator is Pygmalion of Greek and Roman mythology, a sculptor who created a figure of a woman so perfect that he fell in love with her and begged Venus to bring her to life. Some of the same sense of magic, mystery, and transgression still adheres to contemporary film animation, which has made it a primary vehicle for exploring the overwhelming, often bewildering emotions of childhood—feelings once dealt with by folktales.
Early history
The theory of the animated cartoon preceded the invention of the cinema by half a century. Early experimenters, working to create conversation pieces for Victorian parlours or new sensations for the touring magic-lantern shows, which were a popular form of entertainment, discovered the principle of persistence of vision. If drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye would perceive them as a continuous movement. One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph Plateau in 1832, was the phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror. In 1834 William George Horner invented the zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures that could be changed. The Frenchman Émile Reynaud in 1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected before a theatrical audience. Reynaud became not only animation's first entrepreneur but, with his gorgeously hand-painted ribbons of celluloid conveyed by a system of mirrors to a theatre screen, the first artist to give personality and warmth to his animated characters.
With the invention of sprocket-driven film stock, animation was poised for a great leap forward. Although "firsts" of any kind are never easy to establish, the first film-based animator appears to be J. Stuart Blackton, whose Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906 launched a successful series of animated films for New York's pioneering Vitagraph Company. Later that year, Blackton also experimented with the stop-motion technique—in which objects are photographed, then repositioned and photographed again—for his short film Haunted Hotel.
In France, Émile Cohl was developing a form of animation similar to Blackton's, though Cohl used relatively crude stick figures rather than Blackton's ambitious newspaper-style cartoons. Coinciding with the rise in popularity of the Sunday comic sections of the new tabloid newspapers, the nascent animation industry recruited the talents of many of the best-known artists, including Rube Goldberg, Bud Fisher (creator of Mutt and Jeff) and George Herriman (creator of Krazy Kat), but most soon tired of the fatiguing animation process and left the actual production work to others.
The one great exception among these early illustrators-turned-animators was Winsor McCay, whose elegant, surreal Little Nemo in Slumberland and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend remain pinnacles of comic-strip art. McCay created a hand-coloured short film of Little Nemo for use during his vaudeville act in 1911, but it was Gertie the Dinosaur, created for McCay's 1914 tour, that transformed the art. McCay's superb draftsmanship, fluid sense of movement, and great feeling for character gave viewers an animated creature who seemed to have a personality, a presence, and a life of her own. The first cartoon star had been born.
McCay made several other extraordinary films, including a re-creation of The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918), but it was left to Pat Sullivan to extend McCay's discoveries. An Australian-born cartoonist who opened a studio in New York City, Sullivan recognized the great talent of a young animator named Otto Messmer, one of whose casually invented characters—a wily black cat named Felix—was made into the star of a series of immensely popular one-reelers. Designed by Messmer for maximum flexibility and facial expressiveness, the round-headed, big-eyed Felix quickly became the standard model for cartoon characters: a rubber ball on legs who required a minimum of effort to draw and could be kept in constant motion.
Walt Disney
This lesson did not go unremarked by the young Walt Disney, then working at his Laugh-O-gram Films studio in Kansas City, Missouri. His first major character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, was a straightforward appropriation of Felix; when he lost the rights to the character in a dispute with his distributor, Disney simply modified Oswald's ears and produced Mickey Mouse.
Far more revolutionary was Disney's decision to create a cartoon with the novelty of synchronized sound. Steamboat Willie (1928), Mickey's third film, took the country by storm. A missing element—sound—had been added to animation, making the illusion of life that much more complete, that much more magical. Later, Disney would add carefully synchronized music (The Skeleton Dance, 1929), three-strip Technicolor (Flowers and Trees, 1932), and the illusion of depth with his multiplane camera (The Old Mill, 1937). With each step, Disney seemed to come closer to a perfect naturalism, a painterly realism that suggested academic paintings of the 19th century. Disney's resident technical wizard was Ub Iwerks, a childhood friend who followed Disney to Hollywood and was instrumental in the creation of the multiplane camera and the synchronization techniques that made the Mickey Mouse cartoons and the Silly Symphonies series seem so robust and fully dimensional.
For Disney, the final step was, of course, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Although not the first animated feature, it was the first to use up-to-the-minute techniques and the first to receive a wide, Hollywood-style release. Instead of amusing his audience with talking mice and singing cows, Disney was determined to give them as profound a dramatic experience as the medium would allow; he reached into his own troubled childhood to interpret this rich fable of parental abandonment, sibling rivalry, and the onrush of adult passion.
With his increasing insistence on photographic realism in films such as Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), and Bambi (1942), Disney perversely seemed to be trying to put himself out of business by imitating life too well. That was not the temptation followed by Disney's chief rivals in the 1930s, all of whom came to specialize in their own kind of stylized mayhem.
The Fleischer brothers
Max and Dave Fleischer had become successful New York animators while Disney was still living in Kansas City, Missouri. The Fleischers invented the rotoscoping process, still in use today, in which a strip of live-action footage can be traced and redrawn as a cartoon. The Fleischers exploited this technique in their pioneering series Out of the Inkwell (1919–29). It was this series, with its lively interaction between human and drawn figures, that Disney struggled to imitate with his early Alice cartoons.
But if Disney was Mother Goose and Norman Rockwell, the Fleischers (Max produced, Dave directed) were stride piano and red whiskey. Their extremely urban, overcrowded, sexually suggestive, and frequently nightmarish work—featuring the curvaceous torch singer Betty Boop and her two oddly infantile colleagues, Bimbo the Dog and Koko the Clown—charts a twisty route through the American subconscious of the 1920s and '30s, before collapsing into Disneyesque cuteness with the features Gulliver's Travels (1939) and Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941; also released as Hoppity Goes to Town). The studio's mainstay remained the relatively impersonal Popeye series, based on the comic strip created by Elzie Segar. The spinach-loving sailor was introduced as a supporting player in the Betty Boop cartoon Popeye the Sailor (1933) and quickly ascended to stardom, surviving through 105 episodes until the 1942 short Baby Wants a Bottleship, when the Fleischer studio collapsed and rights to the character passed to Famous Studios.
"Termite Terrace"
Less edgy than the Fleischers but every bit as anarchic were the animations produced by the Warner Bros. cartoon studio, known to its residents as "Termite Terrace." The studio was founded by three Disney veterans, Rudolph Ising, Hugh Harmon, and Friz Freleng, but didn't discover its identity until Tex Avery, fleeing the Walter Lantz studio at Universal, joined the team as a director. Avery was young and irreverent, and he quickly recognized the talent of staff artists such as Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, and Bob Cannon. Together they brought a new kind of speed and snappiness to the Warners product, beginning with Gold Diggers of '49 (1936). With the addition of director Frank Tashlin, musical director Carl W. Stalling, and voice interpreter Mel Blanc, the team was in place to create a new kind of cartoon character: cynical, wisecracking, and often violent, who, refined through a series of cartoons, finally emerged as Bugs Bunny in Tex Avery's A Wild Hare (1940). Other characters, some invented and some reinterpreted, arrived, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety and Sylvester, Pepe LePew, Foghorn Leghorn, Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote. Avery left Warner Brothers and in 1942 joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's moribund animation unit, where, if anything, his work became even wilder in films such as Red Hot Riding Hood (1943) and Bad Luck Blackie (1949).
Animation in Europe
In Europe animation had meanwhile taken a strikingly different direction. Eschewing animated line drawings, filmmakers experimented with widely different techniques: in Russia and later in France, Wladyslaw Starewicz (also billed as Ladislas Starevitch), a Polish art student and amateur entomologist, created stop-motion animation with bugs and dolls; among his most celebrated films are The Cameraman's Revenge (1912), in which a camera-wielding grasshopper uses the tools of his trade to humiliate his unfaithful wife, and the feature-length The Tale of the Fox (1930), based on German folktales as retold by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. A Russian working in France, Alexandre Alexeïeff, developed the pinscreen, a board perforated by some 500,000 pins that could be raised or lowered, which created patterns of light and shadow that gave the effect of an animated steel engraving. It took Alexeïeff two years to create A Night on Bald Mountain (1933), which used the music of Modest Mussorgsky; in 1963 Nikolay Gogol was the source of his most widely celebrated film, the dark fable The Nose. Inspired by the shadow puppet theatre of Thailand, Germany's Lotte Reiniger employed animated silhouettes to create elaborately detailed scenes derived from folktales and children's books. Her The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) may have been the first animated feature; it required more than two years of patient work and earned her the nickname "The Mistress of Shadows," as bestowed on her by Jean Renoir. Her other works include Dr. Dolittle and His Animals (1928) and shorts based on musical themes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Papageno, 1935; adapted from The Magic Flute), Gaetano Donizetti (L'elisir d'amore, 1939; "The Elixir of Love"), and Igor Stravinsky (Dream Circus, 1939; adapted from Pulcinella). In the 1950s Reiniger moved to England, where she continued to produce films until her retirement in the '70s.
Another German-born animator, Oskar Fischinger, took his work in a radically different direction. Abandoning the fairy tales and comic strips that had inspired most of his predecessors, Fischinger took his inspiration from the abstract art that dominated the 1920s. At first he worked with wax figures animated by stop motion, but his most significant films are the symphonies of shapes and sounds he called "coloured rhythms," created from shifting colour fields and patterns matched to music by classical composers. He became fascinated by colour photography and collaborated on a process called Gasparcolor, which, as utilized in his 1935 film Composition in Blue, won a prize at that year's Venice Film Festival. The following year, he immigrated to Hollywood, where he worked on special effects for a number of films and was the initial designer of the Toccata and Fugue sequence in Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940). The Disney artists modified his designs, however, and he asked that his name be removed from the finished film. Through the 1940s and '50s he balanced his work between experimental films such as Motion Painting No. 1 (1947) and commercials, and he retired from animation in 1961 to devote himself to painting.
Fischinger's films made a deep impression on the Scottish design student Norman McLaren, who began experimenting with cameraless films—with designs drawn directly on celluloid—as early as 1933 (Seven Till Five). A restless and brilliant researcher, he went to work for John Grierson at the celebrated General Post Office (GPO) Film Unit in London and followed Grierson to Canada in 1941, shortly after the founding of the National Film Board. Supported by government grants, he was able to play out his most radical creative impulses, using watercolours, crayons, and paper cutouts to bring abstract designs to flowing life. Attracted by the possibilities of stop-motion animation, he was able to turn inanimate objects into actors (A Chairy Tale, 1957) and actors into inanimate objects (Neighbours, 1952), a technique he called "pixellation."
The international success of McLaren's work (he won an Oscar for Neighbours) opened the possibilities for more personal forms of animation in America. John Hubley, an animator who worked for Disney studios on Snow White, Pinocchio, and Fantasia, left the Disney organization in 1941 and joined the independent animation company United Productions of America in 1945. Working in a radically simplified style, without the depth effects and shading of the Disney cartoons, Hubley created the nearsighted character Mister Magoo for the 1949 short Ragtime Bear. He and his wife, Faith, formed their own studio, Storyboard Productions, in 1955, and they collaborated on a series of increasingly poetic narrative films. They won Oscars for Moonbird (1959) and The Hole (1962). The Hubleys also created a much-admired series of short films based on the jazz improvisations of Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, and Benny Carter.
The evolution of animation in Eastern Europe was impeded by World War II, but several countries—in particular Poland, Hungary, and Romania—became world leaders in the field by the 1960s. Włodzimierz Haupe and Halina Bielinska were among the first important Polish animators; their Janosik (1954) was Poland's first animated film, and their Changing of the Guard (1956) employed the stop-action gimmick of animated matchboxes. The collaborative efforts of Jan Lenica and Walerian Borowczyk foresaw the bleak themes and absurdist trends of the Polish school of the 1960s; such films as Był sobie raz… (1957; Once Upon a Time…), Nagrodzone uczucie (1957; Love Rewarded), and Dom (1958; The House) are surreal, pessimistic, plotless, and characterized by a barrage of disturbing images. Borowczyk and Lenica, each of whom went on to a successful solo career, helped launch an industry that produced as many as 120 animated films per year by the early '60s. Animators such as Miroslaw Kijowicz, Daniel Szczechura, and Stefan Schabenbeck were among the leaders in Polish animation during the second half of the 20th century.
Nontraditional forms
Eastern Europe also became the centre of puppet animation, largely because of the sweetly engaging, folkloric work of Jiří Trnka. Based on a Hans Christian Andersen story, Trnka's The Emperor's Nightingale became an international success when it was fitted with narration by Boris Karloff and released in 1948. His subsequent work included ambitious adaptations of The Good Soldier Schweik (1954) and A Midsummer Night's Dream (1959).
Born in Hungary, George Pal worked as an animator in Berlin, Prague, Paris, and the Netherlands before immigrating to the United States in 1939. There he contracted with Paramount Pictures to produce the Puppetoons series, perhaps the most popular and accomplished puppet animations to be created in the United States. A dedicated craftsman, Pal would produce up to 9,000 model figures for films such as Tulips Shall Grow, his 1942 anti-Nazi allegory. Pal abandoned animation for feature film production in 1947, though in films such as The War of the Worlds (1953) he continued to incorporate elaborate animated special-effects sequences.
Animators in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere took the puppet technique down far darker streets. Jan Švankmajer, for example, came to animation from the experimental theatre movement of Prague. His work combines human figures and stop-motion animation to create disturbingly carnal meditations on sexuality and mortality, such as the short Dimensions of Dialogue (1982) and the features Alice (1988), Faust (1994), and Conspirators of Pleasure (1996). Švankmajer's most dedicated disciples are the Quay brothers, Stephen and Timothy, identical twins born in Philadelphia who moved to London to create a series of meticulous puppet animations steeped in the atmosphere and ironic fatalism of Eastern Europe. Their Street of Crocodiles (1986), obliquely based on the stories of Bruno Schulz, is a parable of obscure import in which a puppet is freed of his strings but remains enslaved by bizarre sexual impulses.
Nick Park, the creator of the Wallace and Gromit series, is the optimist's answer to the Quay brothers—a stop-motion animator who creates endearing characters and cozy environments that celebrate the security and complacency of provincial English life. He and his colleagues at the British firm Aardman Animations, including founders Peter Lord and Dave Sproxton, have taken the traditionally child-oriented format of clay animation to new heights of sophistication and expressiveness.
More-traditional forms of line animation have continued to be produced in Europe by filmmakers such as France's Paul Grimault (The King and the Bird, begun in 1948 and released in 1980), Italy's Bruno Bozzetto (whose 1976 Allegro Non Troppo broadly parodied Fantasia), and Great Britain's John Halas and Joy Batchelor (Animal Farm, 1955) and Richard Williams (Raggedy Ann and Andy, 1977). George Dunning's Yellow Submarine (1968) made creative use of the visual motifs of the psychedelic era, luring young adults back to a medium that had largely been relegated to children.
A victim of rising production costs, full-figure, feature-length animation appeared to be dying off until two developments gave it an unexpected boost in the 1980s. The first was the Disney company's discovery that the moribund movie musical could be revived and made palatable to contemporary audiences by adapting it to cartoon form (The Little Mermaid, 1989); the second was the development of computer animation technology, which greatly reduced expenses while providing for new forms of expression. Although most contemporary animated films use computer techniques to a greater or lesser degree, the finest, purest achievements in the genre are the work of John Lasseter, whose Pixar Animation Studios productions have evolved from experimental shorts, such as Luxor, Jr. (1986), to lush features, such as Toy Story (1995; the first entirely computer-animated feature-length film), A Bug's Life (1998), Finding Nemo (2003), The Incredibles (2004), WALL-E (2008), and Up (2009). Computer techniques are commonly incorporated into traditional line animations, giving films such as Disney's Mulan (1998) and Dreamworks's The Road to El Dorado (2000) a visual sweep and dimensionality that would otherwise require countless hours of manual labour.
Contemporary developments
A century after its birth, animation continues to evolve. The most exciting developments are found on two distinct fronts: the anime ("animation") of Japan and the prime-time television cartoons of the United States. An offspring of the dense, novelistic style of Japanese manga comic books and the cut-rate techniques developed for television production in 1960, anime such as Miyazaki Hayao's Princess Mononoke (1997) are the modern equivalent of the epic folk adventures once filmed by Mizoguchi Kenji (The 47 Ronin, 1941) and Kurosawa Akira (Yojimbo, 1961; "The Bodyguard"). Kon Satoshi's Perfect Blue (1997) suggests the early Japanese New Wave films of director Oshima Nagisa with its violent exploration of a media-damaged personality.
U.S. television animation, pioneered in the 1950s by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (Yogi Bear, The Flintstones) was for years synonymous with primitive techniques and careless writing. But with the debut of The Simpsons in 1989, TV animation became home to a kind of mordant social commentary or outright absurdism (John Kricfalusi's Ren and Stimpy) that was too pointedly aggressive for live-action realism. When Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head debuted on the MTV network in 1993, the rock-music cable channel discovered that cartoons could push the limits of censorship in ways no live-action television productions could. Following Judge's success in 1997 were Trey Parker and Matt Stone with South Park, a series centred on foulmouthed kids growing up in the American Midwest and rendered in a flat, cutout animation style that would have looked primitive in 1906. The spiritual father of the new television animation is Jay Ward, whose Rocky and His Friends, first broadcast in 1959, turned the threadbare television style into a vehicle for absurdist humour and adult satire.
Despite these boundary-pushing advances, full-figure, traditionally animated films continue to be produced, most notably by Don Bluth (An American Tale, 1986), a Disney dissident who moved his operation to Ireland, and Brad Bird, a veteran of Simpsons minimalism who progressed to the spectacular full technique of The Iron Giant (1999). As digital imaging techniques continue to improve in quality and affordability, it becomes increasingly difficult to draw a clear line between live action and animation. Films such as The Matrix (1999), Star Wars: Episode One (1999), and Gladiator (2000), incorporate backgrounds, action sequences, and even major characters conceived by illustrators and brought to life by technology. Such techniques are no less creations of the animator's art than were Gertie, Betty Boop, and Bugs Bunny.

Tinycore is here 12/1/2008! Welcome visitors.
First, you don't disturb me. I went back to the a-2 thread and you never elaborated on which extension(s) you loaded, what kind of hardware, etc., to explain what might be needed to reproduce the same problem. Was this related to 64-bit kernel? Did you get the same or similar errors booting "base norestore" etc.? What chipset was supported in a-1 but not previously?
I suggest you start clean with a new V3 CD and no USB pen drive.
Here are the results:* Booting from a new alpha-3 CD worked OK (no boot errors)* Booting from the SD card with base norestore text worked OK (no boot errors either). startx then gave me back the WM I've done some additional testing, always booting from the SD card :* With base norestore worked OK (no boot errors either) and direct to the WM* With base and home=sdb1 opt=sdb1 restore=sdb1/tce worked OK (no boot errors either), direct to the WM, have to manually install the extensions but all install and work OK * Finally, removing the base from the boot options [that is, my first boot configuration], brings back the boot errors. So it seems to me that the problem arises when installing the extensions at boot time.* Adding nomodeset to the boot options doesn't prevent the boot errors
Are you using Xorg-7.4? If so, you could try the synaptics touchpad driver.
My AA1 has only one card reader (in the right side) that has always worked without problems in Windows and Linux. It is the way I boot normally TC. I have tried with a usb card adapters with the same results. Booting from a usb pendrive has worked in the same way as with the SD card (and I prefer the SD card as it doesn't protrude out of the netbook). And both with fat and ext2 filesystems.
Well unfortunately that didn't work so well. Mounted the extension, modded xorg.conf. 2-finger scrolling now works but tapping is totally disabled. No amount of fiddling with parameters that looked likely, had any effect.How about trying to use that which was in the previous kernel? I notice from dmesg that previously the input devices were shown a bit differently. I suppose that is due to the new kernel?

Pervious Pavement
The guidance and specifications being provided are the result of collaboration between members of the pervious pavement team that included various HQ Functions and Industry.
The goal of developing this guidance was to have consistent methods, siting criteria, and material specification, when considering the use of pervious pavement within Caltrans right of way. Caltrans now has the ability to install this type of stormwater feature. Currently pervious pavement can only be considered within Caltrans right of way at non-highway facilities (Rest Areas, Park and Rides, etc.) including Maintenance Vehicle Pullouts on highway facilities.
As described in the guidance, approval from HQ Stormwater Management - Design and HQ Maintenance is required before pervious pavement can be included in a contract or constructed within Caltrans right of way. By requiring these approvals (gate keeper approach), an evaluation can occur related to appropriate feasibility and maintainability.
When a location is approved for use, it will be tracked similar to a pilot project to evaluate construction methods (potential specification improvements) and maintainability (to assure that proposed maintenance procedures will be adequate).
When pervious pavement is being proposed as a viable BMP the Pervious Pavement Design Guidance will provide the consistency needed for an appropriate evaluation.

Choosing The Right Brand
Reading pet food labels can be both tricky and frustrating. With so many different brands to choose from, how do you choose the one that's best for your furry pal? Reading the ingredients label is key. There are a few things that can help make this a bit easier. Since pet food labels list ingredients according to proportion, the first ingredient listed is the one that the food contains the most of. Look for brands that list meat as the first and most numerous ingredient. You'll also want to look for ingredients you can actually identify.
Just like human food, pet food can spoil quickly if it isn't kept properly. Dry food lasts longer than kibble, but even dry foods can grow dangerous mold and bacteria if they are damp or stored incorrectly. Keep your furry buddy's food in a clean, dry area. While you can refrigerate leftover wet food, if you leave it in the can, it may not taste very good. Storing your four-legged friend's food in glass or Tupperware containers can help keep it fresh. If you buy Fido's kibble in bulk, you can use a storage tote, but be sure to choose one that closes securely, and replace it when it starts to look worn. Plastic cracks as it ages, and those tiny crevices can make very inviting homes for harmful bacteria.
Pet Food Recalls
Recalls are, unfortunately, not uncommon with either pet food or people food these days. While there is no way to completely protect against the chances of picking up a bad product, you can stay on top of things by monitoring pet food recalls.
General Tips
Always pay attention to your pet's food. If it smells or looks off, don't take chances: discard it, and give Fido or Fluffy something else.
Do you have questions about your pet's health, care, or diet? Call us! As your local animal clinic, we are here to serve all of your pet's veterinary care needs.

A cyber attack on Belgacom raised considerable attention last week. Documents leaked by Edward Snowden and seen by SPIEGEL indicate that Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency was responsible for the attack.
Documents from the archive of whistleblower Edward Snowden indicate that Britain's GCHQ intelligence service was behind a cyber attack against Belgacom, a partly state-owned Belgian telecoms company. A "top secret" Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) presentation seen by SPIEGEL indicate that the goal of project, conducted under the codename "Operation Socialist," was "to enable better exploitation of Belgacom" and to improve understanding of the provider's infrastructure.
The presentation is undated, but another document indicates that access has been possible since 2010. The document shows that the Belgacom subsidiary Bics, a joint venture between Swisscom and South Africa's MTN, was on the radar of the British spies.
Belgacom, whose major customers include institutions like the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament, ordered an internal investigation following the recent revelations about spying by the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) and determined it had been the subject of an attack. The company then referred the incident to Belgian prosecutors. Last week, Belgian Prime Minister Elio di Rupo spoke of a "violation of the public firm's integrity." Read the entire article here>>

Luckily, once you recognize this issue, the fix is simple. Whether you choose to take a multivitamin or adjust your diet accordingly, these are 5 nutrients you should pay extra attention to (source):
Vitamin D
This vitamin's biggest claim to fame is its role in strengthening your skeleton. But vitamin D isn't a one-trick nutrient: A study in Circulation found that people deficient in D were up to 80 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke. The reason? D may reduce inflammation in your arteries.
The shortfall: Vitamin D is created in your body when the sun's ultraviolet B rays penetrate your skin. Problem is, the vitamin D you stockpile during sunnier months is often depleted by winter, especially if you live in the northern half of the United States, where UVB rays are less intense from November through February. Case in point: When Boston University researchers measured the vitamin D status of young adults at the end of winter, 36 percent of them were found to be deficient.
Hit the mark: First, ask your doctor to test your blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. "You need to be above 30 nanograms per milliliter," says Michael Holick, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of medicine at Boston University. Come up short? Take 1,400 IU of vitamin D daily from a supplement and a multivitamin. That's about seven times the recommended daily intake for men, but it takes that much to boost blood levels of D, says Dr. Holick.
This lightweight mineral is a tireless multitasker: It's involved in more than 300 bodily processes. Plus, a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that low levels of magnesium may increase your blood levels of C-reactive protein, a key marker of heart disease.
The shortfall: Nutrition surveys reveal that men consume only about 80 percent of the recommended 400 milligrams (mg) of magnesium a day. "We're just barely getting by," says Dana King, M.D., a professor of family medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. "Without enough magnesium, every cell in your body has to struggle to generate energy."
Hit the mark: Fortify your diet with more magnesium-rich foods, such as halibut and navy beans. Then hit the supplement aisle: Few men can reach 400 mg through diet alone, so Dr. King recommends ingesting some insurance in the form of a 250 mg supplement. One caveat: Scrutinize the ingredients list. You want a product that uses magnesium citrate, the form best absorbed by your body.
Vitamin B12
Consider B12 the guardian of your gray matter: In a British study, older people with the lowest levels of B12 lost brain volume at a faster rate over a span of 5 years than those with the highest levels.
The shortfall: Even though most men do consume the daily quota of 2.4 micrograms, the stats don't tell the whole story. "We're seeing an increase in B12 deficiencies due to interactions with medications," says Katherine Tucker, Ph.D., director of a USDA program at Tufts University. The culprits: acid-blocking drugs, such as Prilosec, and the diabetes medication metformin.
Hit the mark: You'll find B12 in lamb and salmon, but the most accessible source may be fortified cereals. That's because the B12 in meat is bound to proteins, and your stomach must produce acid to release and absorb it. Eat a bowl of 100 percent B12-boosted cereal and milk every morning and you'll be covered, even if you take the occasional acid-blocking med. However, if you pop Prilosec on a regular basis or are on metformin, talk to your doctor about tracking your B12 levels and possibly taking an additional supplement.
Without this essential mineral, your heart couldn't beat, your muscles wouldn't contract, and your brain couldn't comprehend this sentence. Why? Potassium helps your cells use glucose for energy.
The shortfall: Despite potassium's can't-live-without-it importance, nutrition surveys indicate that young men consume just 60 percent to 70 percent of the recommended 4,700 mg a day. To make matters worse, most guys load up on sodium: High sodium can boost blood pressure, while normal potassium levels work to lower it, says Lydia A. L. Bazzano, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of epidemiology at Tulane University.
Hit the mark: Half an avocado contains nearly 500 mg potassium, while one banana boasts roughly 400 mg. Not a fan of either fruit? Pick up some potatoes—a single large spud is packed with 1,600 mg.
Your thyroid gland requires iodine to produce the hormones T3 and T4, both of which help control how efficiently you burn calories. That means insufficient iodine may cause you to gain weight and feel fatigued.
The shortfall: Since iodized salt is an important source of the element, you might assume you're swimming in the stuff. But when University of Texas at Arlington researchers tested 88 samples of table salt, they found that half contained less than the FDA-recommended amount of iodine. And you're not making up the difference with all the salt hiding in processed foods—U.S. manufacturers aren't required to use iodized salt. The result is that we've been sliding toward iodine deficiency since the 1970s.
Hit the mark: Sprinkling more salt on top of an already sodium-packed diet isn't a great idea, but iodine can also be found in a nearly sodium-free source: milk. Animal feed is fortified with the element, meaning it travels from cows to your cereal bowl. Not a milk man? Eat at least one serving of eggs or yogurt a day; both are good sources of iodine.

Hello all,
I'm am new to ORM language and i am currently developing an adaptation for a reference ontology building methodology using different fact models as information data input. I have been exploring the NORMA tool and so i was wondering if there is any way to programmatically manipulate these fact models (edition & querying), API's or any type of solution to extract the fact model data (terms & relations) without resorting to editing tools.
Thank you :)
Pedro Andrade
Hello Pedro,
That is a very open-ended question. The NORMA tool is built as a set of extensions--the only thing special about the ORM and ORMDiagram extensions is that you can't turn them off--so anything thing you see in the tool can be programmatically accessed by writing your own extension, which will load you into the designer. The other options are to create a generator, or to load the model using your own program (allowed on a machine where NORMA can open in VS) and directly reading/manipulating the model.
Of these options, creating a generator is by far the easiest thing to do. All of the NORMA generators are either pure XSLT or combine some extension implementation (to get additional elements in the .ORM file) which is then processed with XSLT. Generators are fairly straightforward to install, although the installation point is well hidden in the NORMA sources. If you look at http://sourceforge.net/p/orm/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Tools/ORMCustomTool/Install.bat you'll find an _AddXslORMGenerator macro that does the installation. This .bat file relies on http://sourceforge.net/p/orm/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/SetupEnvironment.bat to initialize the environment, which in turn relies on the TargetVisualStudioVersion environment variable (see a list of values at the top of SetupEnvironment.bat). You can trim this down for your needs and experiment extracting data without doing a full NORMA build (you can attach a debugger to a setup install of NORMA and use the code, but DO NOT build the project (F5 or anything like unto it) on top of a setup install).
If you can provide some additional specifics on what you're trying to extract and what level of interaction you want inside the tool I can give you other information as well.
Hi Matt,
Than you for the quick reply :)
The idea of the project is to develop a methodology that gets "x" fact models, extracts the terminology/fact types in order to construct a glossary, defines a taxonomy and later, with the semantic mismatches detected, constructs a reference model, like an ontology.
What i want is to find a way to load these fact models in my java/c# code, in order to programmatically manipulate then, extract the terminology and the relations that define each model. Perhaps if i generate a Plix.
Hi Pedro,
C# makes it easy. Plix is used to generate code that is a physical mapping of the model. The result is not the model itself, so is probably not what you're after.
Hi Matt,
Once again, thank you for your time and assistance! :D
My main objective is to manipulate/edit a ORM model (file). An example would be: capture all the fact types from the model.
Thus I need help in the following:
I need to build a project (could be in c# or JAVA) that is able to open a ORM file to load it to a programming object, which may be, if I understood correctly, the Store object that you mentioned in your previous message.
Then, how can I build this project? What are the libraries (API) that I need to add to it in order be able to manipulate this ORM models?
Sorry for my possible ignorance. Thanks in advanced!
You will need a C# project for a console or forms app (not a web application) that references the two libraries I mentioned before (the modeling SDK dll from Microsoft and the NORMA core dll). You'll probably want to lock the project platform to 32-bit instead of 'Any CPU' (the NORMA Dll itself handles any CPU, but some of the supporting Microsoft dlls it pulls in (specifically the graph object referenced by the diagramming dlls) are 32-bit only).
For NORMA on VS 2005, the references look like this in the .csproj file:
<Reference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
<Reference Include="ORMSolutions.ORMArchitect.Core.VS2005, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=957d5b7d5e79e25f, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
Hi Matt,
As you said, the .orm file is a XML. So knowing this, can't i simply explore the .orm with for instance, XPathNavigator ? like:
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(ormPath);
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
string xml = navigator.OuterXml;
string root = navigator.OuterXml;
ModelLoader loader = new ModelLoader(new ExtensionLoader(ExtensionModelData.LoadFromRegistry(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\ORM Solutions\ORM Architect for Visual Studio 2010\bin\Extensions", null, null)));
byte[ byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(root);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
Store store;
using (stream){
store = loader.Load(stream);
It seems i keep getting a NullException when loading the stream, can't figure it out why..
If you want to play with the XML I'd recommend doing it through XSLT and plugging in a generator, not through code. The two approaches offer much different experiences.
You don't need XML at all for the model loader. In fact, it turns out there's a ModelLoader.Load(string fileName) overload that just takes the file name. Internally it does using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) { return Load(fileStream); }, so it isn't really saving you much (and took minimal effort to write, which is probably why I forgot about it, sorry). However, it does show that you're working way too hard. You don't need XML at all, just a file name or file stream. All of the XML work is done for you internally.
You switched the registry path I gave you to a file path, so there is no chance the ModelLoader will work. ExtensionModelData.LoadFromRegistry needs a registry path to where the NORMA extensions are listed, not a file path to where they are on disk. The registry information maps XML namespaces (listed in the root element of the .orm files) to extension assemblies. The assemblies are not all in one place, and just knowing the assembly list isn't enough information anyway.
I've attached a project that loads a selected .orm file, lists the object types and fact types in combo boxes, and verbalizes them in a web browser control when the combos are changed. That should get you started (note there is no UI change on load, open a combo to see contents). The attached project is VS2010, which seems to match your system. Without the VerbalizationManager (which is cute, but probably not needed for your project), the crux of the code can be reduced to the following line:
Store store = new ModelLoader(new ExtensionLoader(ExtensionModelData.LoadFromRegistry(@"Software\ORM Solutions\Natural ORM Architect for Visual Studio 2010\Designer\Extensions", null, null))).Load(FileDialog.FileName);
Indeed i had the registry path changed because i was having the "NullReferenceException" so i though i was giving the wrong path. I gave a try to the project you attached in the last post, it seems to give same exception i mentioned.
Sorry, I tested this project on a 32-bit machine. It looks like I didn't set the platform target to 32-bit, which would give you this result running on a 64-bit OS.

State House - Third floor
More than 100 feet above the rotunda floor, you will see a magnificent mural. A mural is a painting done on a wall or a ceiling, which often tells an interesting story.
James Allen King, an artist from Scituate, Rhode Island, designed this mural. He first painted his idea in watercolors on a large illustration board, then made 12-foot long sketches of all of the figures. You can get the best view of the mural from the third floor.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment of King's life was that he was unable to complete this great project. Illness made it impossible for King to climb 200 steps each day to get to the top of the dome. He gave the original sketches to other artists (George DeFelice, Robert C. Haun, and Victor Zucchi) who completed his work.
King called his mural design "The Four Freedoms". It shows four important aspects of the lives of the early Rhode Island settlers.
Can you find the following four freedoms in the mural?
THE LAND GRANT - Unlike settlers elsewhere, Roger Williams did not take land from the Indians. He respected the Indians and their way of life. An agreement was made between them, and the Indians granted the settlers land on which to build their homes.
RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE - Rhode Island has always been a safe place to worship freely.
The settlers enjoyed the freedom to build their homes.
BEGINNINGS OF INDUSTRY - Settlers began trades that would help them support themselves.
On top of the State House dome is a gold-covered, bronze statue called "The Independent Man". It stands 313 feet above sea level and was first placed there on December 18, 1899. "The Independent Man" was designed by sculptor George Brewster, is 11 feet high and weighs over 500 pounds. It is covered with a thin gold covering called "gold leaf". When a statue is covered with gold leaf, it is called a gilded statue. The statue was removed from the dome for repairs on August 9, 1975. Seventy-five years of New England storms, including bolts of lightning, had damaged the statue. It was returned, with a new gold leaf covering, to its watch atop of the State House Dome on July 20, 1976. The Independent Man is a symbol of the independent spirit and initiative which led Roger Williams to settle in Rhode Island in his search for freedom of worship. The Independent Man stands watch over our State Capitol and reminds Rhode Islanders that it is important to stand up for your beliefs. It represents men and women, young and old, times past and present.

As many cooks know, dashi is the fundamental Japanese stock. Easily made from a few simple ingredients, it's the basis of miso soup and an integral part of dishes including sukiyaki and shabu shabu. It is a very versatile ingredient and one that Western cooks really ought to use… and today we will use it in my Miso Parsley Poached Sole.
Serves 4
4 cups dashi, heating in pan
2 tablespoons shiro miso
2 bunches flat leaf parsley, picked, save 1 tablespoon freshly chopped leaves
3 tablespoons butter
4 sole fillets, Dover or grey, deboned by cutting a "v" in center of fillet
1 tablespoon yuzu juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a low, wide saucepot, combine dashi and heat over medium-high. Whisk in miso using a strainer and discard granules left in strainer. Add the parsley and butter. Transfer mixture to a heat-proof pitcher and buzz with a handblender. Check seasoning. Add back to saucepot, bring to a simmer and add fish. Cover and turn heat off. Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve in soup plates, garnished with poaching broth and fresh chopped parsley mixed with yuzu juice.
Wine pairing:
Pride of the Village Sake
Junmai Ginjo. An elegant, super-premium sake from a brewery with an 850-year history. The brewery is considered to be Japan's oldest surviving sake brewer.
Taste: A refined and clear flavor, yet settled and deep. Semi-dry with a superbly clean finish — A fantastic pairing with the Miso-Parsley Poached Sole.
Aroma: A pleasingly light and fruity nose, laced wth violets, strawberries, pear and grape.

Dear Darien and Phensri,
I just wanted to say thank you for accommodating S.... and me at your Old Bridge class a couple of weeks ago. In short, it was a terrific experience. Your generosity, warmth, and humor made the cooking experience feel like home.
The trek out to NJ from Manhattan was well worth the trip: five and a half hours and 4 dishes later, it was clear that this is not just a typical cooking class but rather an experience. The food itself was obviously delicious and the tips, recipes, and hands-on approach will be useful as we try to recreate these recipes at home. Most impressively, however, your dedication to the art of cooking and building a community of students is so refreshing in a business that can often be impersonal and cold.
The ongoing communication with students--via email, Skype, and the website--makes the class more than just a one time event (though the day was incredible). We both look forward to keeping in touch and participating in future events and classes. I would enthusiastically recommend Fantastic Thai to anyone. Thanks again for a wonderful day!

Advance directive formats
There are many different advance directive formats. Some follow forms outlined in state laws. Others are created by lawyers or even the patients themselves. State law and the courts decide whether these documents are valid. All states and the District of Columbia have laws about advance directives, but the documents may be called different names in different states.
Most states do not require the use of a specific form, but they do have legal requirements about what must be included and how the document is set up. Because the words on a standard form may not be clear and may not reflect your personal wishes, you should review and change the words to clearly state your personal values, priorities, and wishes. You should also know your state's requirements for writing legal advance directives. For example, states define the minimum age required to have a directive. All states also require that at least one adult not related by blood, marriage, or adoption witness your signature and date on the advance directive. Some states require 2 witnesses. You can usually get sample forms for advance directives from your state, your state bar association, or from Caring Connection (part of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization). See the "To learn more" section for contact information.
Before you create an advance directive, you will want to talk with your doctor, your loved ones, and at least one person that you want to choose as your proxy or agent (substitute decision-maker). Tell them about your situation, wishes, and fears. You need to talk about your choices with them because they're the ones who will help put your wishes into effect if you are unable to do so.
