ATI Radeon HD 6870 Dxun grass texture problems
This is how the textures look on Dxun with my video card. I am using Catalyst Drivers 12.10 for Radeon HD 6870 Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Does it do that only with grass activated?
I tested a 6870 about 6 months ago with Catalyst 12.4 and never ran into anything like that.
Yup, disable grass.
It's been a very longstanding issue with ATI cards :(
I was just testing my buddy's card; I probably didn't run into any grass.
HH, have you tried AllowSoftShadows=1 for you ATI card? I know soft shadows are disabled on ATI cards, but that might enable them.
You mean putting Soft Shadows to 1? Since that has no effect.
Or actually adding AllowSoftShadows under graphics?
The latter.
That actually worked.
Didn't know that.
Still able to learn new stuff it seems :).
Grass issue is still unchanged then though.
Does turning on soft shadows kill your frame rate?
It does on my GTX 460, but only with TSL. Turning them on with KotOR doesn't hurt it at all.
I have the same problem, with the 6970. I've determined that there actually is something wrong with the texture, though I haven't fixed it completely.
You guys using the Dantooine lag fix (Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1)?
To clarify, here is the alpha channel for the DXN_jungfx texture:
If you look closely, you can see that the background for three of the four parts is not completely black. And for some reason, some ATI cards won't render anything behind these parts of the grass. In other cases, the grass was not mapped properly, so bits of one texture show up at the top of another as awkward lines well above the ground.
However, there's only so much I can do with the textures due to the incredibly poor resolution. When it's rendered, the texture is smoothed over so it won't look so pixelated, but unfortunately that leaves behind an invisible halo around the grass when it's seen up close, or when a lot of grass is obscuring something far away.
Can you upload the blackified textures and the .txi's you use?
See what it does so far, and what can be improved?
Have either of you tried those planet retexture mods over at DeadlyStream?
They vastly improve the grass (to the point that it actually looks real), and, perhaps, ATI cards could digest it better.
(pay attention to their feet)
Here are the TGAs so far. TXIs didn't seem to help at all.
Nope, same problems. And it doesn't seem to affect the grass in 403DXN at all.
Yeah, it doesn't replace the grass in the Mando camp.
The ongoing issues the KotOR games have with ATI cards is one of the main reasons why I've stuck with Nvidia all of these years. Otherwise, I'd have probably gotten an ATI card, because of their usually-superior bang for the buck.
My previous card was an Nvidia, but it was 8600 or something and burned out, so it had to go. :xp: I've been considering getting a cheap - but more recent - Nvidia to have both options, and also because my old XP actually has no video card at all.
Anyway, the grass. I've noticed a few errors remain on Dxun, and Dantooine's grass has some of those mapping issues I mentioned, so I'm going to take a look at it again. I have compiled a bunch of minor fixes, so I'll release the updated grass with that once everything's ready.
Hope you can fix it... haven't taken a look at it yet, should have time tomorrow.
Well, just tried your grass, it's a definite improvement upon the old situation... so we can (read: I, and probably other ATI users who have to disable grass before) live with that. Did you also do the grass in 650DAN?
Or find some slight improvements to do? Haven't tried messing with them myself yet... but I don't really have editing programs, so I doubt I can do much with the texture :(
Installing ATI Catalyst 11.5 fixed it for me.
Really? That's great, and very useful. Thanks.
Info on which versions of Catalyst work best with the KotOR games is always welcome here. :)
It fixed it for me, but it also brought the grass lag back, so I returned to the newest version.
So, any progress on the grass texture fix? Cause it was awesome already.
*shameless bump*
Bumpity bumpity.
Would you mind posting it/having it posted on deadlystream? Cause even with the minor issues it's WAAAAY better than without those .tga's
Many people would like it, but it's hard finding the thread again, and just linking them to a dl would be easier.
Is there a fix for this yet? I have this problem too.
I've got it in KotOR 1, in the Undercity and likely future places with grass.
I imagine I'll need to fix the same for KotOR 2 as well, since it will likely possess the same bug.

Here is an animated and wonderfully engaging work of cultural history that lays out America's unruly past by describing the ways in which cutting loose has always been, and still is, an essential part of what it means to be an American.
From the time the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Americans have defied their stodgy rules and hierarchies with pranks, dances, stunts, and wild parties, shaping the national character in profound and lasting ways. In the nation's earlier eras, revelers flouted Puritans, Patriots pranked Redcoats, slaves lampooned masters, and forty-niners bucked the saddles of an increasingly uptight middle class. In the twentieth century, fun-loving Americans celebrated this heritage and pushed it even further: flappers "barney-mugged" in "petting pantries," Yippies showered the New York Stock Exchange with dollar bills, and B-boys invented hip-hop in a war zone in the Bronx.
This is the surprising and revelatory history that John Beckman recounts in American Fun. Tying together captivating stories of Americans' "pursuit of happiness"—and distinguishing between real, risky fun and the bland amusements that paved the way for Hollywood, Disneyland, and Xbox—Beckman redefines American culture with a delightful and provocative thesis.
(With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)

Editorial Reviews
Author of the debut novel The Winter Zoo, a New York Times Notable Book, Beckman shows that from Colonial revels to the Roaring Twenties to the Yippie invasion of the stock market Americans have been less puritanical than prankish.
Beckman, an English professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, traces the "three tributaries of American fun—the commercial, playful, and radically political," from Thomas Morton's anarchic Merry Mount colony in the 1620s to its modern counterpart, Burning Man. Accounts of politically motivated fun like the Boston Tea Party and the Yippies' attempt to levitate the Pentagon are presented along with tales of pranksters like Mark Twain and P.T. Barnum, as well as accounts of playful hoaxes, such as the "Electrical Banana," in which a 1960s underground newspaper convinced mainstream media that smoking dried banana peels produces "a cannabic effect." Beckman laments the commercialized fun of organized sports as well as the neutering of counterculture spirit by Madison Avenue advertising or pop culture's "test-tube teens." He also traces African-American culture from Pinkster festivals and Brother Rabbit folktales—later hijacked by white journalist Joel Chandler Harris—to the Harlem Renaissance and the emergence of hip-hop in the 1970s South Bronx. Other notable characters include the "b'hoys and g'hals," Irish street gangsters with an affinity for Shakespeare; the Merry Pranksters and their LSD-infused parties with the Hell's Angels; and Jazz Age flappers like Zelda Fitzgerald and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Beckman captures the rambunctiousness, subversiveness, and inventiveness of the American spirit, as well as its ugliness, violence, and bigotry. He also raises interesting questions about complacency and "the death of fun." (Feb.)
"The key to this spirited and challenging book is in its subtitle: 'joyous revolt.' . . . American Fun provides an original perspective on how ordinary folk left a mark on the historical landscape in a way that has not received full recognition." —Howard P. Chudacoff, The New York Times Book Review
"This freewheeling history . . . richly demonstrate[s] how Americans have often blended defiance and wit with the pursuit of liberty." —The New Yorker
"This is a history of 'a raffish national tradition that flaunted pleasure in the face of authority.' That sort of fun has made America what it is, and it is a pleasure to read a book that explains historically this essential nature of part of the American character. . . . Fun . . . and informative to boot." —Columbus Dispatch
"[I]n his adventuresome new history, American Fun: Four Centuries of Joyous Revolt. . . . Beckman, an English professor at the United States Naval Academy, makes a powerful case that fun may be good but should always be at least slightly less than clean." —The Daily Beast
"American Fun is ecstatic, erudite, anarchical and utterly irresistible. It's the great cultural history of busting out and cutting loose that we've always wanted and always needed. This is a party you don't want to miss." —Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
"John Beckman's American Fun is a raucous, frequently dazzling tour through the country's wild and crazy side, the joyous out-of-control culture that, as he writes, 'flouts couth.' In an age of bleak spectacle, Beckman reminds us in living color that 'folk fun' and 'coarse civility' are deep in the American grain. At once learned, thrilling, splendidly written and wicked smart, this is the best book I've read about popular culture in ages—or ever." —Todd Gitlin, author, The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage
"A raucous, anarchic shadow history of celebrations, pranks, and joyous rebellion, American Fun chronicles the American penchant for high energy, authority-flouting acts of fun. . . . In the end, with modern permutations of American fun, American Fun: Four Centuries of Joyous Revolt offers a history that is about fun and is fun to read. It illuminates the very American tradition of stickin' it to the man, dancin' in the street, and havin' a blast." —New York Journal of Books
"John Beckman's American Fun offers an alternative history of our culture, zeroing in on the many ways in which our country's fun making was spurred on by subcultures formed in opposition to that Waspy standard." —Bookforum
"A lively, entertaining history of American fun. . . . With a novelist's care for detail and storytelling, Beckman offers a remarkably expansive . . . cultural history." —Kirkus Reviews
"Folksinger and Yippie organizer Phil Ochs once proclaimed, 'A demonstration should turn you on, not turn you off.' There's even a band named Fun. But who could ever have predicted that there would be this unique, comprehensively researched, scholarly approach to 400 years of fun in America, a historical tradition of ridicule that has served as a threat to the status quo—from King Charley to Dick Gregory, from Thomas Morton to Ken Kesey, from Mark Twain to Abbie Hoffman—in a myriad of forms that provide a strong sense of continuity. Like pasta fazool, which features a bean in every macaroni, a satirical ploy is embedded with a level of irreverent truth. 'Laughter,' said Malcolm Muggeridge, the editor of Punch, 'is the most effective of all subversive conspiracies, and it operates on our side.' And now, with the aid of technology, that process can go viral, fast and furious. Joyous revolt, after all, is not an oxymoron." —Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counterculture
"American Fun reads like a graphic novel as John Beckman connects the dots between Thomas Morton, the flappers, Abbie Hoffman and punk rock, celebrating fun as a great American value." —Andy Shernoff, founding member of The Dictators
"Beckman captures the rambunctiousness, subversiveness, and inventiveness of the American spirit, as well as its ugliness, violence, and bigotry." —Publishers Weekly
"This rollicking and patriotic paean to American 'rough play' deserves a serious look." —Booklist
"Beckman challenges our understanding of American Puritanism by showing that we've been an essentially prankish, fun-loving nation. Colonists reveled wildly, Patriots mocked Redcoats, slaves lampooned masters, the Twenties roared, Hollywood entertained, Yippies invaded the stock market, and the Internet isn't entirely sober-minded either. Have fun reading." —Library Journal
"American Fun is that rare and lovely thing: a serious and original work of history which entertains from the opening pages to the conclusion. John Beckman captures a vital, yet neglected, feature of American life—the untrammeled pursuit of happiness—and will have you grinning as you learn." —Michael Kazin, author of American Dreamers: How the Left Changed a Nation
A lively, entertaining history of American fun. Notwithstanding its obvious subjectivity, the definition of "fun" has changed significantly since early American colonization. Yet Beckman (English/U.S. Naval Academy; The Winter Zoo, 2002) is undeterred by the challenge of drawing out what he believes to be a uniquely American idea of fun as an act of rebellion. Using a cast of familiar characters—Samuel Adams, Ken Kesey, Mark Twain—as well as lesser-known Americans—Thomas Morton, King Charles and Buddy Bolden, to name a few—Beckman argues that it is quintessentially American to participate in pranks and tricks. (The Boston Tea Party is a prime example.) For Beckman, it is this "boldness in the face of adversity and restraint" that characterized early American fun. It was social, political and, above all, daring, and it represented an appeal to the democratic principles that would come to define the still-maturing republic. But, as "fun" became more popular, Americans were quick to exploit the economics of leisure. Fun was now a matter of entertainment—"Barnumization," as Beckman puts it—a big business that no longer relied on prankster risk. "These pleasures were fleeting and superficial—by design," he writes. "Nothing was at stake, except the ticket price." These two strands of fun continued to develop in parallel, defining their respective ages, from Jazz Age exuberance and the subversive counterculture of the 1960s to 1980s hypercommercialization and today's digital zombie-ism. While there is no shortage of irreverent and diverse examples that key in on various stages of fun's development in America, Beckman is often so diffuse in his breadth that his argument seems to be lost. His conclusions, moreover, slide dangerously close to exceptionalist rhetoric. Are Americans the only people that partake in such revelry? Nevertheless, he does identify uniquely American experiences that define a collective understanding of fun as a protest against the established order, even if one is a part of that order. With a novelist's care for detail and storytelling, Beckman offers a remarkably expansive, if flawed, cultural history.

Read an Excerpt
On April 15, 1923, eight marathon dancers, aged nineteen to twenty-eight, outran the law for a chance to make history. For twenty-nine hours straight, as weaker contestants limped off the floor, they had twirled and swung each other's bodies to the fox-trot, two-step, and bunny hug. At midnight, New York police enforced a law that put a twelve-hour cap on marathon activities. They ordered the kids to cease and desist, but the dancers wanted none of it. They danced en masse out the doors of the Audubon Ballroom, across the 168th Street sidewalk, and into the back of an idling van. They danced in the van's jumpy confines all the way to the Edgewater ferry, on whose decks they danced across the choppy Hudson, before being portaged like a cage of exotic birds and released into New Jersey's Pekin dance hall.
They had been there only an hour when more cops shoved them along, and so it would go for the next two days. The venues kept changing, and the comedy mounting, as they crossed and recrossed the tri-state lines, cheerfully dancing all the while. They shed a few compatriots to squirrelly exhaustion and gave reporters a private audience in an undisclosed Harlem apartment. Back in the van, they cut fantastic steps on their way to Connecticut, where the contest would reach its strange conclusion.
The New York Times, filing updates as the events unfolded, struck a distinctly American tone: they touted the dancers as the pinnacle of youth—of vigor, ambition, free expression—calling them "heroes and heroines . . . alive with the spirit of civic pride." But they scorned the cops as "mean old thing[s]" who should have been ashamed of enforcing "meddlesome old laws." As tensions mounted they framed a rivalry between the upstart "West" and the noble "East." (Dancers from Cleveland had set the record only a few days before.) The upshot of all this ballyhoo, of course, was that the reporters took none of it too seriously. The Times just wanted to join the party and to let their readers join it too.
But their patriotism wasn't all tongue-in-cheek. Youthful antics in the 1920s were often held up as national virtues. Alma Cummings, who had set the first dance-marathon record that March, was honored with the "Star-Spangled Banner." Avon O. Foreman, a fifteen-year-old flagpole sitter, was recognized in 1929 by the mayor of Baltimore for showing "the pioneer spirit of early America." In an era when Prohibition had divided the country and the KKK had nearly five million members, the splashy high jinks of free-spirited youths were for many a welcome vision of good-natured resistance. They called to mind the Sons of Liberty—or Huck Finn lighting out to the territory.
Things got weird in the marathon's endgame. At two o'clock on Sunday morning, when the van arrived at an athletic club in East Port Chester, judges disqualified two of the last four contestants for sleeping in transit, leaving Vera Sheppard, nineteen, and Ben Solar, twenty-three, to rally for the record. At 8 a.m. Solar broke away from Sheppard and "wandered aimlessly toward the door, like a sleep-walker." Smelling salts revived him for precisely two minutes. When he collapsed, and was out, the ever-vigorous Sheppard—performing "better than at any time during the night"—galloped on with a series of relief partners. The good citizens of Connecticut, fearing for her health, or maybe her soul, had police stop the madness at 3:30 p.m. Only with special permission was she allowed to dance past four o'clock, at which point she demolished the world record. "Miss Sheppard's condition at the close," the Times reported, "was surprisingly good." She had also lost a cool ten pounds.
Vera Sheppard wasn't your typical rebel. An office worker from Long Island City, she lived at home with her father and two sisters and gave dance lessons most nights till twelve. She wasn't even your typical flapper. But when her sisters attributed her endurance to prayer and the fact that she didn't drink or smoke, Sheppard preferred to answer for herself. Showing all-American pride in her ethnic difference, she told reporters: "I'm Irish; do you suppose I could have stuck it out otherwise?" What kept her going for sixty-nine hours was "thinking what good fun it was."
Sheppard liked to dance, and she was willing to risk it if what she liked was against the law. More to the point, she enjoyed those risks. But her Jazz Age "fun" wasn't just the boon of a wealthy country at the height of its powers. It wasn't even a whirl on Coney Island's Loop-the-Loop. Her cheeky dance across three state lines, as pure and innocent as it seemed, was underwritten by centuries of studied rebellion that made it quintessentially American. Sheppard and her cheering section at the Times were heirs to a raffish national tradition that flaunted pleasure in the face of authority.
This book traces the lines of that tradition.

"I'm there where are you?"
I don't get John Beckman's idea of fun. The Boston Tea Party may have been fun, but I wonder what Nathan Hale would say abut that? The Chicago Convention in 1968 may have been fun, but I wonder what all the gassed protesters would say about that? The Chicago Days of Rage may have been fun, but I wonder what Richard Elrod would say about that............No Thanks Mr. Beckman I'll make my own fun.

February 14, 2004 by Jeff Schroeder
MORGAN CITY, La. - It came down to the very last bass. The players: hometown favorite Sam Swett versus Wisconsin dominator Tom Monsoor. The stakes: $100,000 and the pride of Louisiana anglers everywhere. The outcome: With his last fish, Swett clinched a close victory and brought the trophy home on the bayou.
Needless to say, the capacity crowd approved.
Swett, who hails from Covington, La., edged out La Crosse, Wisconsin's Tom Monsoor by 10 ounces Saturday to win the Pro Division of the second stop of the 2004 Wal-Mart FLW Tour at the Atchafalaya Basin.
"I love you, Louisiana," Swett told the packed house at weigh-in. "I'm proud to call you home."
A good bet is that he was happy to be fishing near home, too, this week. While Swett admitted that he has only fished the basin twice in his career, he took advantage of the tidal water throughout the week. All four days, he made a long run down toward the Gulf of Mexico to a little unnamed area of natural bayous near the Intracoastal Waterway and worked an area where the tide - and the week's dismal weather - was crucial.
"The saltwater doesn't intimidate me," he said. "It tends to push the bass up against the bank when the tide comes in. I knew that the northwest wind could blow that clear water off the bayou, and I had to worry about the muddy water coming in. The key for me was clear water and patience."
Given a week's worth of fishing under cold, rainy, muddy-water conditions, patience was indeed a virtue at Atchafalaya. Swett didn't catch them fast Saturday, nor did he catch very many. But, by calmly working his 1/2-ounce white spinnerbait with gold and silver Colorado blades through the cleanest, tide-driven water he could find, he landed a five-bass limit weighing 10 pounds, 11 ounces. His two-day, final-round total of 23 pounds, 9 ounces beat Monsoor's final tally of 22-15.
"I just went searching for what I needed to do," Swett said. "Today, it was do-or-die for me. You just don't have time to second-guess your decisions."
There was definitely no second-guessing anything for Swett Saturday. Having fished the tour since 2001, the Team Fujifilm pro's $100,000 victory was his first FLW win, and it came in just his first visit to the top-10 final round.
"It hasn't hit me yet," he said. "It was definitely special to win in front of the hometown crowd with all my friends and family here."
Bayou voodoo derails Monsoor
Monsoor, who crushed the field in the opening round with a weight over 32 pounds, had been hooking up - and landing - the moneymaking bass all week. His luck changed Saturday, however, when it counted most.
"I lost five of them," he said. "And they were all good ones, too. Any one of them would have won it. I haven't lost a fish in three weeks."
Despite the lost fish, Monsoor still cobbled together a limit weighing 10 pounds, 9 ounces Saturday. His final weight of 22-15 earned him $37,000 for second place.
Monsoor is a standout pro from the North with a long, successful track record in the BFL Great Lakes Division. He's also a heavyweight in the EverStart Series Northern Division, with a number of top-10s and a victory to his name. Last year, when he moved up to fish the FLW full time, his impact was felt almost immediately when he finished third at Kentucky Lake.
While he was happy enough to finish in the runner-up spot at this week's tough-fishing tournament, he wondered if maybe he fell prey to a little Louisiana destiny.
"Maybe it was meant to be for Sam to win, but I should have won it," he said with a nod to his lost fish. "My day is coming. I've never fished a circuit where I haven't won a tournament. Three, two, one (a reference to the possible progression of his FLW top-10 finishes): That's my motto now."
Bird's biggest bag
Cody Bird of Granbury, Texas, found some fish again Saturday and caught the biggest sack of the day, a limit weighing 13 pounds, 5 ounces. But his 5-7 weight from Friday meant he would only rise to finish in third place with a two-day weight of 18-12. He collected $25,000.
"The day started out with that really good (bass) and I thought, `Here we go,'" he said. "But I only caught five keepers."
Baumgardner drops to fourth
Day-three leader Chris Baumgardner of Gastonia, N.C., couldn't capitalize on his slight head start in the first half of the final round. He caught just two bass weighing 4 pounds, 5 ounces Saturday and ended with a two-day total of 17-9. He collected $20,000 for fourth place.
"I don't know what it was," he said. "The current slowed down and the water got cold. I just couldn't get them to bite."
Tosh fifth
Steve Tosh of Waterford, Calif., a newcomer to the FLW Tour, had the best finish of his career at Atchafalaya. He caught three bass weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces Saturday, combined for a two-day total of 16-2 and ended up in fifth place. He collected $18,000.
"I'll tell you what, I've had the best time of my life. This is it. It doesn't get any better than this," he said.
Rest of the best
Rounding out the top 10 pro finishers at FLW Atchafalaya Basin are Dean Rojas of Grand Saline, Texas, with a final-round total weight of 11 pounds, 2 ounces (6th place, $17,000); Randy Blaukat of Lamar, Mo., with a weight of 9-9 (7th, $16,000); Mike Surman of Boca Raton, Fla., with a weight of 9-2 (8th, $15,000); Bill McDonald of Indianapolis with a weight of 4-0 (9th, $14,000); and Mark Rose of Marion, Ark., with a weight of 1-11 (10th, $13,000).
With two top-10 finishes in the first two tournaments of the season, Rojas has also taken the lead in the FLW standings by a narrow two points over Osaka, Japan's Shinichi Fukae.
The third FLW Tour stop of the season is scheduled for Old Hickory Lake near Gallatin, Tenn., March 10-13.

Product Description
Kino continues to travel through lands that suggest the different planets visited in Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999 or Kenji Miayazawa's The Night on the Galactic Railroad. But Kino's underplayed adventures lack the excitement of the former and evocative poetry of the latter. Taciturn and uninvolved, she never interacts with anyone, except on the most superficial level. Kino makes good use of the marksmanship she developed somewhere along the road in the two-part "Coliseum." A mad king forces visitors to compete in gladiatorial combats to attain the exalted position of first-class citizen. But the ending can be seen coming a mile off (even without a Motorrad), and Kino's protests against social injustice receive only a few seconds of screen time. Kino's Journey plays like a cross between Serial Experiments Lain and Along Came Bronson; however, its alienated heroine may appeal to moody teenage girls. (Rated 15 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

Once you decide to have LASIK eye surgery, your doctor will schedule an eye evaluation prior to surgery. If you wear contact lenses, you must switch to eyeglasses for a few weeks before this evaluation. This will allow your cornea to resume its natural shape.
At your presurgery eye evaluation, your eye doctor will review your medical history and eye history. To confirm that your vision is stable, he or she may ask to see your eye prescription records. Bring those with you to the examination.
Also, make a list of any medications you take. The list should include any over-the-counter drugs and herbal remedies. Your doctor will need to review this list.
After using eye drops to widen (dilate) your pupils, the doctor will examine your eyes thoroughly. This examination will include:
A test for glaucoma
An examination of your retina
A check of how well you can see
Your doctor will take precise measurements of your eyes. These will include measurements of the shape and thickness of your cornea.
After this eye examination is finished, your doctor will discuss LASIK as an option for you. This discussion should include:
Your expectations
Potential risks and complications of surgery
Other treatment options
Frank answers to your questions
At the end of this discussion, your doctor probably will ask to you sign an informed consent form. This gives the doctor permission to do the surgery.

if ($isBlogPage && !is_single())
echo("<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\">");
Would it make sense to implement the above into my site template?
$isBlogPage is a variable that I assign
true to blog pages and
false otherwise.
This would tell search engines to not index the main page of my site macbasement.com (since (
$isBlogPage = true)). I suppose I should allow indexing of the main domain? Or not?
Reasoning for all of this is I get a lot of hits from google to archive pages and my index page. I'd like the result to instead link to the post that actually contains the search query, so as to not confuse the user.

Consider the tag AMBER. The table says there is one entry in the Legacy category. But, if you click on the "1", you get a "Nothing Found" error. You get this error because the single post with tag AMBER is in the category FAQ. However, the same post is correctly entered into the FAQ column under the tag Input Files.
There should aso only be one post for the Derivative tag in category Legacy.
The other entries all seem to be ok.
The only thing I can see that is obviously different about the category Legacy is that I provided a description for it, but not for the others.

Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull yesterday told the Otago Daily Times
he had received an assurance the select committee would
travel to Dunedin to hear submissions on the proposed
The assurance came from National MP Maggie Barry, chairwoman
of the local government and environment committee, which is
to hear submissions on the Building (Earthquake-prone
Buildings) Amendment Bill.
Ms Barry confirmed when contacted a majority of the committee
had voted to travel to Dunedin to hear submissions at a
public meeting on June 26.
However, the decision needed to be ratified - which was
expected to happen today - before being confirmed, she said.
Mr Cull said the move came after he wrote to request the
committee travel to Dunedin, which led to a subsequent
meeting with Ms Barry.
The hearing would be an opportunity for councils to present a
united front against the proposed changes, which have
prompted an outcry in the South.
A submission signed by 13 South Island councils, including
the Dunedin City Council, will be presented by Mr Cull.
Having the select committee in Dunedin would allow Southern
councils to put their case to committee members with
additional ''support'', extra time, and without joining a
''queue of other people'' in Wellington, he said.
''They can actually focus on our submission from our region
and we can have, potentially, more support.
''There may be other individual submissions from this area as
well. Just as we're making a combined one and an individual
one, I imagine other councils may want to make individual
ones, too,'' Mr Cull said.
It was possible the DCC could also invite select committee
members to tour the city, to see for themselves what the
Southern councils were talking about, Mr Cull said.
The Bill gave councils five years to assess nearly 200,000
buildings built before March 31, 2005, including all
non-residential and high-rise, multi-unit apartment
buildings, for earthquake risks.
Owners of earthquake-prone buildings would then get another
15 years to upgrade to at least 34% of building code
requirements, at an expected cost of about $1.7 billion.
DCC staff estimated the cost for inspecting more than 4200
buildings in Dunedin would total about $5.6 million over five
years, and it was feared some owners would opt to abandon
their buildings instead.

I am using buddypress 1.6.1 and bbpress 2.1.2.
Now I would like to restrict the view of private forums: Only certain roles can see the thread's content. Everybody can see the topics, but once clicked on a topic, you should get an error page unless you are assigned to that certain role.
Is this possible with the Members plugin?
I see Capabilities like: read_private_forums, read_private_replies, read_private_topics, read_private_pages and read_private_posts.
But no matter what I check or uncheck, users of that role can either see the whole forum or nothing.
Any ideas how to get this done?

I'm playing through the game non-lethally, and I'm trying to save Malik. It's hard enough non-lethally since all the non-lethal weapons are single-shot slow-firing poor-accuracy, but I've got a problem that when the bot lands and I EMP grenade it, the explosion kills one of the attackers. Does that mean that I no longer qualify for the achievement?
If enemy is hit by robot's self destruct explosion he is dead and it disqualifies you,but if he is hit by emp he will only be stunned and you still qualify as non-lethal.
Don't forget you can drag(E hold) stunned enemies away before the robot self destructs,you will have about 6 seconds.And be careful of exploding barrels.
Here's a video,it has some minor guidelines in description to help you.
If when you target the body it has a Skull instead of zz's then yes it disqualifies you from receiving the achievement.
Try to draw enemies towards you (and away from the robot) before throwing the emp.

The problem I'm having is that my style has a rather large gap between the header and the content, so if you're on a paged article and click a link to another page, you have to scroll down to get back to the article. What I wanted to do is have
<?php link_pages() ?> or
<?php wp_link_pages() ?> link to the next page
#post or whatever.
There seems to be a way to make the tag do what I need, but I'm having difficulty getting my syntax right. I searched the Codex and found this parameter:
(string) Page the links should point to. Defaults to the current page.
Unfortunately I'm just not getting it. Here's what I've got so far:
<?php wp_link_pages('before=
Pages: &after=
&next_or_number=number&more_file=#post'); ?>
I've even tried
<?php ... &more_file=( the_permalink() )#post'); ?>. Any ideas?

XXL Magazine has released their official 2014 Freshmen cover. The list of artists included are as follows: Chance the Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Vic Mensa, August Alsina, Troy Ave, Kevin Gates, Lil Bibby, Jon Connor, Lil Durk, and fan pick, Jarren Benton. That actually makes 12, rather than the usual 10, complete with an asterix that reads "Yeah we've got R&B this year." Something tells us this will be the first and last year that happens.
How did we fare on our initial predictions for the list back in March? Not bad. We got 6 of the artists correct, with Chance The Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Troy Ave, and Jon Connor.
We were a bit surprised to see Sage and IamSu omitted given their heavy buzz, and we're sure the Bay is none to thrilled about that.
Our pick of Gunplay was a gamble, but not surprisingly, the political MMG slot was instead filled in with their R&B artist, August Alsina, strangely.
We also knew Riff Raff was a bit of a stretch, considering that he isn't taken that seriously, but we thought there might have been a ODB / wildcard type angle on that one.
Much love was given to the bubbling Chicago scene; we didn't think there was any way that both Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper could make the list, let alone two rappers from the same city with "Lil" in their name, but hey. Afterthought, we would have picked Vic Mensa as well.
Agreed as usual Dayz. I am digging that PUTS lp. The production is really dope, and the mc's are solid, nothing mind blowing but solid enough to keep my vibing.
I'm guessing the photographer forgot to say "SMILE" before he took the picture.
Also $20 says I have a higher IQ than nearly all of them.
kevin gates
Jon Connor is DEF not a Freshman! He has two albums out and is signed to Aftermath. Hes been doin his thing since at least 2011, prob earlier. I have no clue who any of these guys are besides JC, Chance, and I. Rashad. I really love the Rashad album he put out in the beginning of the year. He def got his own sound, but a sound that goes in perfectly w/ TDE. Chance is ok but his voice is annoying. These other guys? Prob won't last like a lot of the other Freshmen of the past.

Honoring a drive for perfection
Perfect attendance at work last year paid off for Henrico resident and Owens & Minor employee Michael Faison, who drove home in a new Ford Mustang April 12. Faison's name was selected in a random drawing from among a pool of 55 hourly employees who qualified for the drawing by achieving perfect attendance in 2011. (The company awards six cars annually to one employee with such attendance within each of its six operating regions.)
Faison, a seven-year employee at the Owens & Minor Richmond Distribution Center in Hanover, was surprised with his new car during the work day. He is pictured above, holding the keys to the car, flanked by Ron Smarsh, general manager of the Richmond Distribution Center; Owens & Minor EVP and COO James Bierman, and Owens & Minor Regional Director of Operations José Valderas.

Mount Washington Cog Railway | Yankee Classic
Meanwhile the fireman shovels. One shovelful of coal into the 2,000-degree fire every 45 seconds. Into the tender goes his shovel, then out to the side. His weight shifts. He swings around, shovel poised, yanks open the 40-pound door to the firebox with his free hand and slings the coal into the blasting heat. Then he checks the plume. A face, black with dust, hangs out the side of the cab and twists upward to the sky. The head withdraws. The fireman begins again. Shovelful by shovelful, he feeds the beast as it claws its way up the mountain.
That's exactly what it's doing — pulling itself up on a rack, rung by rung. It's the toothed cog gear that does all the work; the wheels just act as skis, guiding the train. The power is generated by the 5:1 gear ratio: steam drives the shaft that turns the pinion gear; the little pinion gear drives the spur gear, which is five times bigger and so magnifies the power that finally turns the cog. It's the only way it could work. Ordinary trains run on a maximum grade of only three percent; the average grade on the Cog is 25 percent.
That's why people laughed when Sylvester Marsh, a Campton man, applied to the state in 1858 for a charter to build his railroad. One legislator suggested a railway to the moon instead — it seemed about as feasible. But Marsh ignored them. With significant help from father and son inventors Herrick and Walter Aiken, March did the impossible. "Evidently he didn 't consider switchbacks or hairpin turns," says Donald Bray, Cog historian and author of They Said It Couldn't Be Done. "He just decided the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line." The straightest and the steepest.
At Halfway House, a small shelter that marks the midpoint of the trip, the earth rises like a wall on the right side of the train. The trees look as if they're growing on a slant. The house looks tilted. For a moment the mist clears. To the left is a sheer drop into the green of Burt's Ravine. In front of us looms Jacob's Ladder, the steepest, highest, windiest railroad trestle in the world. We take turns here, on this 37.41 percent grade, standing in the aisles. Children giggle as they lean way forward, face first, legs straight, without falling over. Those who try walking to the front of the car have to haul themselves along from seat to seat. Coming back down it's hard not to run. Between the heads of people at the front and back ends of the coach there is a 13-foot difference.
As we leave Jacob's Ladder, the climb continues, nearly as steep, on Long Trestle, where the grade is 36 percent. The track levels off as we pass the Skyline Switch, which was installed by Henry Teague, who owned the railroad from 1931 to 1951. The switches, considered the most complicated in the world, are thrown by the brakeman and require nine moves. "It's like a complicated dance step," says Heather Preston, once a brakeman and eventually the Cog's only female fireman. "Some of those pieces of metal weigh more than I do," she says. "If you mess up, you trip and fall and probably hurt something. You're supposed to throw a switch in a minute, but I've seen guys who couldn't do it even if you gave them five."
At the summit, which is covered in snow eight months of the year, the Sherman Adams Observation Center is crowded with people. Most have driven their cars up the auto road on the other side of the mountain. A few are hikers, smelling of wet wool, who look weary but victorious. On a good day the view would be spectacular four states and into Canada. P. T. Barnum called the Cog and its mountain the second greatest show on earth. But today is not one of those days.
Ed has turned all the seats around, so we ride down with the mountain at our backs. In front of us, in the down-mountain end of the car, Ed grips one giant brake wheel with his gloved hands and turns. The brakes release with a stuttering creak. He spins the other wheel, throwing his whole body into it. The coach lurches forward. Ed's full attention is on the job at hand. He keeps one eye alert for landmarks that remind him where the track pitches downward, where the flats are. With the other, he carefully watches the distance between the coach and the engine, releasing the brake along the fiats and pushing the engine, applying more brake in the steep spots in order to take the weight off. That's something that surprises a lot of tourists — "goofers" as the coggers sometimes call them. For safety reasons the coach and engine are not attached. Each has its own braking system, so that if something were to happen to the engine, the car could descend on its own.
Coggers point out that the Cog has the best safety record of any railway in this country — only one accident involving passenger fatalities in 120 years of operation. "It's too bad," says Cathy Bedor, marketing director and wife of owner Joel Bedor, "that instead of saying, 'Oh, what a phenomenal safety record,' so many people say, 'Oh, what a terrible accident.' " But that day in 1967 is hard to forget. It was September 17, late in the season. The sun was low in the sky as the last train of the day began its descent. The 56-passenger coach was packed full. According to Bray, there were at least 70 people, maybe as many as 85.
As the train reached Skyline Switch, it didn't stop. Nobody ever did in those days. The crew had every reason to believe that the switch had been left, as always, in the straight position. Still, if they had been watching, if the sunlight shining into the back of the cab had not been so blinding, they might have spotted the small piece of track that was set incorrectly.
But they didn't. The engine hit the rail first, rose up suddenly, jolted sideways, and came down, wheels on the timbers. Before the crew could act, the front cog wheel did exactly the same thing. Now both cogs were out. The engine teetered, then flopped onto its side, leaving the coach all by itself.
According to Bray, the brakeman now had less than two seconds to get the car stopped before its first cog hit that rail. He tried, but wasn't quick enough. By the time that rear cog wheel came out, he had maybe four seconds to stop the car by applying the brakes to the up-mountain axle, where the front cog was still in the rack. A passenger lunged to help him. They made a desperate effort, but to no avail. Now the coach was riding only on its wheels, the brakes were useless, and as it pitched over the top of Long Trestle, the train began to accelerate. There was no way it could stay on the trestle. The coach toppled off and landed on its side, completely smashing one end. The number of people in the coach probably served as a cushion, helping to reduce the casualties, but eight were killed, three of them children. Many were badly injured.
Bobby Trask, train master at the Cog, remembers seeing the bodies of the victims carried off the mountain. "It's something that sticks in your mind forever," he says. "I get nervous every time I go up. You can't take anything for granted." Today, engineers are thoroughly prepared and tested during several seasons as brakemen and firemen. Nobody becomes an engineer until Trask gives the OK. "If they aren't ready, I don't qualify 'em," he says. And the trains come to a dead stop before they pass through the switches.
"The really sad part of that accident," says Bray, "is that it was a very preventable thing. Just what caused it will never be known for sure. It could have been a hiker tampering with the rail, and yes, it could have been negligence on the part of the train crew — though I doubt it." One thing is clear, though. The accident was the result of human error, not mechanical failure.
Today as we descend, the train chugs with reassuring regularity, a steady four miles
per hour. Suddenly the engineer signals from the cab. The brakeman winds the brakes. Metal screeches. The train halts. The sudden lack of motion is unsettling. A little boy shouts from the back. "Hey, what's going on?" Ed waves a reassuring hand, exchanges words with the engineer about butterfly valves. The fireman fiddles with something outside the engine. When we start again, the relief is palpable. The downward journey of our three-hour round-trip is only slightly faster than the upward climb. And today, because there are so few trains on the mountain, we do not have to wait at the switches.
In 1988 the Cog had its best season ever — 58,000 riders; in 1989 ridership was down to 51,000, but that's still the second-highest ever. Current owners Wayne Presby and Joel Bedor insist that the Cog is a viable business venture. Others are skeptical. "It just doesn't generate enough capital to make the needed improvements," says Walter Mitchell, the clerk in charge of the Mount Washington post office. He's observed 29 seasons at the Cog. "It's been limping along since 1931," he notes.

.NET application configuration files contain settings specific to an application.
Application configuration files contain settings specific to an application. This file contains configuration settings that the common language runtime reads (such as assembly binding policy, remoting objects, and so on), and settings that the application can read.
The name and location of the application configuration file depend on the application's host, which can be one of the following:
Executable–hosted application.
The configuration file for an application hosted by the executable host is in the same directory as the application. The name of the configuration file is the name of the application with a
.config extension. For example, an application called
myApp.exe can be associated with a configuration file called
While developing with Visual Studio the file
app.config in a project will be copied to the correctly named configuration file when the project is built.
The file can contain both framework defined and user defined elements (possibly using .NET types to read and write the content).
ASP.NET-hosted application.
ASP.NET configuration files are called
web.config. Configuration files in ASP.NET applications inherit the settings of configuration files in the URL path. For example, given the URL
http://www.example.com/aaa/bbb, where
http://www.example.com/aaa is the Web application, the configuration file associated with the application is located at
www.example.com/aaa. ASP.NET pages that are in the subdirectory
bbb use both the settings that are in the configuration file at the application level and the settings in the configuration file that is in
For more information about ASP.NET configuration files, see ASP.NET Configuration
Internet Explorer-hosted application. If an application hosted in Internet Explorer has a configuration file, the location of this file is specified in a tag with the following syntax:
<link rel="ConfigurationFileName" href="location">
In this tag, location is a URL to the configuration file. This sets the application base. The configuration file must be located on the same Web site as the application.

HUMBLE, Texas -- While the results were what he was hoping for, Clay Wonnell said competing in the Shell Houston Open was a dream.
Competing in his first professional tournament, the Miramont Country Club Assistant Pro, fired an 82 today after an opening round 81 on Thursday.
Clay started off today's round with a double bogey 6 on the par 4 10th hole. He was able to get one of those strokes back on the 13th with birdie 4 on the par 5. Wonnell rolled off four straight pars before double bogeying the 18th with a six. His two round total was 163.
While he made the turn with a 39, he was able to par the next five holes coming to the par 4 6th. He bogeyed the hole and that opened the flood gates as 3 double bogies followed.
Steve Wheatcroft is the leader after 36 holes with a five under par 134.

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Commonly used in shopping malls and office buildings because of the low level of care it requires, the Pothos is a vibrant, green plant, often with white and yellow variegation. It will tolerate low light and irregular watering. More plants can easily be grown from its cuttings.
