Anne L. EmeryJanuary 24,2013Anne L. Emery
CASTLETON Anne L. Emery, 71, of Castleton, died January 22, 2013, at The Pines nursing home in Rutland, after a battle with ALS.
She was born on March 4, 1941, in Boston, Mass., to Harriette (Smith) Cushman and David Cushman.
The family resided in Willis, Mass., and Walpole, Mass., for several years before moving to Vermont to buy and operate a dairy farm in Shoreham. The farm was sold, and Anne and her family moved to Florida where Anne graduated from Lake Worth High School in 1958.
Anne graduated from the Sheldon Academy of Beauty Culture in Burlington, Vt., in 1959. She was a beautician for several years working in salons in Florida and finally at Berthas hairstyling which was located on Wales Street in Rutland.
She married Willard N. Bill Lucia of Orwell, Vt., in 1960, and then welcomed a daughter, Jerri Anne, born in June of 1961. Her husband, Bill, sadly died when Jerri Anne was just four years old.
Anne, in later years, worked as an elder caregiver in private homes in the Castleton area.
She was involved with the Castleton Community Centers knitters group. Anne was honored for knitting nearly 100 helmet liners for our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Her intricate knitted and crocheted items won her many blue ribbons at the Rutland County Fair through the years.
Anne was also a very talented and accomplished writer, having written many works in the form of poems, prose and very clever and fun riddles and quips. She was a member of the Castleston Communitys creative writing group.
Anne enjoyed music. She played guitar and enjoyed singing alto in a church choir, and also in the Friends and Neighbors Barbershop Chorus, a singing group made up of women from surrounding towns.
It was Annes delight to visit with friends and neighbors, and loved serving them tea and cookies at her kitchen table, which was always decorated elaborately for each season. She loved to bargain shop at lawn sales and could be ready in the wink of an eye to accompany anyone who would invite her to ride along.
Anne is survived by her daughter, Jerri Anne, and her two granddaughters, Kaylie and Erin, all of Colorado; two brothers, John Cushman, an educator, and his wife Barbara of Albuquerque, N.M., and Stephen Cushman, educator and organist, and his wife Wasthi of Wisconsin; a cousin, attorney Gregg Wilson and wife Dianne of Essex Junction, Vt.; as well as numerous other cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was married in 1975 to Owen Emery of Franklin, Mass., who has since predeceased her.
A memorial service will be held in March. There will be no calling hours.
Donations may be made to the Castleton Community Center, 2108 Main St., Castleton, VT 05735; or the ALS Association New England Chapter, The Concord Center, 10 Ferry St., Suite 309, Concord, NH 03301.

If you want to store binary data like images and html files directly in your MySQL database, this column is for you!
I will show how you can store the data via the HTML forms "File" feature in your database and how you can access and use this data in your web project.
If you have read the article "PHP, MySQL and Images" by William Samplonius here on phpbuilder.com, this might be interesting for you as William stores the binary data somewhere on your hard disk (using a shell command), instead of storing the image directly in the Sql-Database.
* Create a new database on your SQL Server
* A sample php3 script you can use to store data in your database
* A sample php3 script with which you can access the stored data
First of all, you have to create a new database on your SQL server in which your script will store the binary data.
For my example I use the following structure. To create this database, you have to do the following steps:
* login to the MySQL monitor
* enter the command "create database binary_data;"
* enter the command "use binary_data;"
* copy and paste the following instructions (the table structure) to the monitor
* the database table should be created
CREATE TABLE binary_data (
id INT(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
description CHAR(50),
bin_data LONGBLOB,
filename CHAR(50),
filesize CHAR(50),
filetype CHAR(50)
A sample php3 script you can use to store data in your database
With the php script store.php3 you can transfer files via a html form interface into the created database.
// store.php3 - by Florian Dittmer <email@example.com>
// Example php script to demonstrate the storing of binary files into
// a SQL database. More information can be found at http://www.phpbuilder.com/
<title>Store binary data into SQL Database</title>
// code that will be executed if the form has been submitted:
if ($submit) {
// connect to the database
// (you may have to adjust the hostname,username or password)
$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), filesize($form_data)));
$result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO binary_data (description,bin_data,filename,filesize,filetype) ".
"VALUES ('$form_description','$data','$form_data_name','$form_data_size','$form_data_type')");
$id= mysql_insert_id();
print "
This file has the following Database ID: $id";
} else {
// else show the form to submit new data:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File Description:

<input type="text" name="form_description" size="40">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">

File to upload/store in database:

<input type="file" name="form_data" size="40">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
So if you execute this script, you will see a simple html form. Use the "browse" button to select a file (for example: an image) and press the "submit" button.
After the file has been uploaded to the web server, the script will tell you which database ID the uploaded file has. You need to know this ID to access this data (with the following script).
The script getdata.php3 is an example script that fetches the binary data from the database and passes it directly to the user.
// getdata.php3 - by Florian Dittmer <firstname.lastname@example.com>
// Example php script to demonstrate the direct passing of binary data
// to the user. More info at http://www.phpbuilder.com
// Syntax: getdata.php3?id=<id>
if($id) {
// you may have to modify login information for your database server:
$query = "select bin_data,filetype from binary_data where id=$id";
$result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query);
$data = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"bin_data");
$type = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"filetype");
Header( "Content-type: $type");
echo $data;
As the script needs to "know" which file is requested, you have to add the ID as a parameter.
Example: A file has been stored with ID 2 in the database. To get this file, you have to call:
If you have images saved in the database, you can use the getdata script as  in your webpage.
Example: You saved an Image as ID 3 in the database and want to show it on your webpage. Use the following code:

If you want to upload and store files bigger than 1 MB, you have make several changes to the scripts and your php/sql setup, as it is caused by default limitations of the programs. Do the following to be able to store files as large as 24 Megabyte:
1. Edit the store.php3 script. Change the MAX_FILE_SIZE value (in the form) to 24000000.
2. Remove the filesize limitation from your php installation. This is set either in your php.ini or in your apache config files. By default, php3 allows only files smaller than 2 MB. You have to change the max_filesize variable to: max_filesize = 24000000.
3. Remove the mysql packet size limitation. By default, mysql only accepts packets that are smaller than 1 MB.
4. You have to restart your database with some parameters, which will remove the limitations.
Mark Leidy wrote in that the following set up worked for him (and it worked for me, too):
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld -O key_buffer=16M -O table_cache=128 -O sort_buffer=4M -O record_buffer=1M -O max_allowed_packet=24M
If you are using Unix, check out your init-tree and change the corresponding startup file.
I hope this works fine for all of you. I also want to thank those of you, who wrote in improvements and fixes which helped me to complete this article.
This could be a timeout problem. If you upload large files via a slow connection, php's default timeout of 30 seconds might kill your process. Change the max_execution:time variable in your php.ini to:
Yes, I know that this is a really short column and not a very detailed description, but even if you are new to php (like me), it should be possible for you to understand the provided scripts.
phpbuilder.com-reader Mark Leidy rewrote the scripts. You might want to check out his versions.

Read an in-depth analysis of Roxane.
Sparknotes erroneously states in its Analysis — Act I, scenes i-iii (2nd Paragraph), "In Act I, scene iv, after Cyrano fights in a dramatic duel, his friend Cuigy wittily claims that Cyrano's name is Dartagnan," of The Three Musketeers fame.
What actually happens in Rostand's play is this: an appreciative Musketeer, thoroughly entertained by the duel, commends Cyrano on his swordsmanship and then quickly leaves.
Cyrano asks Cuigy, "What was that gentleman's name?"
Cuigy answers, "Oh…D'Artangnan."

Sparknotes says in regards to the following quote "VALVERT: Your nose is . . . very big. CYRANO: Yes, very. VALVERT: Ha! CYRANO: Is that all?" that "Remembering the promise he made to Roxane to keep Christian safe, Cyrano responds to Valvert's ridiculing of his nose with biting, ironic criticism instead of violence." At this point in time, Roxane has said nothing to Cyrano about Christian, and indeed, Cyrano kills Valvert upon the final line of his balade.

Remembering Goodfellas' Henry Hill and the time I saw him live
Kelly Lee Barrett
The late Henry Hill at a Cinespia screening at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
I didn't know much about Henry Hill when I first saw him. I'd never seen "Goodfellas." But I was one of the hundreds who had the chance to hear directly from the horse's mouth at a Cinespia screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery before a screening of the film, less than two years ago. Hill died last week at the age of 69.
The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, is a gripping story of life in the mob and how things began falling apart in the 1970s from the way crime families had traditionally worked thanks to the influx of drugs. It's based on the book "Wiseguy" by journalist Nicholas Pileggi, telling the story through the life of Henry Hill.
Hill's appearance to do a Q&A before the film offered as a real life update on the film, as well as a fact check.
"It's 95 percent on the money," Hill said. "They had to take liberties because it's Hollywood, it's not a bad place, but it's 95 percent accurate and Scorsese did an unbelievable, fantastic job."

Voting Equipment Information
Optical Scan Voting Machines
Beginning with the November 2013 General Election, Fairfax County will only deploy the AccuVote™ optical scan voting system at each polling place. These machines "read" an electronically scanned ballot marked by the voter. It is expected that the optical scan machines will help reduce the time spent waiting in line at the polling places since more voters can vote at the same time. The Office of Elections will continue to deploy the existing WINvote touch screen machines to all precincts. These machines comply with the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002, Public Law 107-252 (HAVA), which mandates accessible voting devices for blind and visually impaired voters.

In addition to the AccuVote optical scan voting machines, every polling place will also be equipped with WINvote™ machines to primarily assist voters with disabilites. These touch screen machines are designed to provide voters with disabilities the opportunity to cast their votes unassisted. Each machine is equipped with an audio headset that enables voters with visual impairments to cast a secret ballot without assistance. This light-weight machine may also be carried outside the polling place for curbside voters.

OKLAHOMA CITY Passenger traffic through Will Rogers World Airport for 2011 was up almost 3 percent over the previous year, Oklahoma City airport officials reported Thursday.
But traffic through Tulsa International Airport for the year was down nearly 2 percent compared with 2010. Tulsas airport experienced a total decline of 52,000 passengers boarding and leaving planes for the calendar year, while Oklahoma Citys airport saw a total of 105,000 more passengers coming and going, officials reported.
The year ended on a high note for Will Rogers, with more than 13,000 passengers leaving the city during traditionally the heaviest travel months of November and December, up about 5 percent from the same months in 2010. Airport officials said earlier that mild weather probably helped buoy those figures. As is usually the case each year, fewer passengers disembarked in the city compared with those going to visit elsewhere.
In Oklahoma City, Southwest Airlines reported the greatest number of passengers boarding planes, nearly 57,000 over the entire year. Southwest showed 4-percent growth for the year over 2010. Delta and United airlines were next, with about 25,000 and 19,000 passengers, respectively. United, however, showed the greatest passenger growth in Oklahoma, 30 percent over 2010 traffic. At the other end of the scale, Continental numbers declined by 37 percent for the year.

Try some white vinegar. It is a mild acid. My wife uses it for alot of cleaning. With a scouring pad should do the trick. I recommend this to customers over clr and the like.
I purchased a Toto Drake with Sanagloss a few years ago and never got around to installing a water softener. The water from my well is very hard and comes out with a reddish brown tint. It stains everything with this discoloration and above the water line and particularly focused at the water line in the bowl, the Sanagloss is stained. The inside of the tank is hideous now, but I don't really care how that looks.
What is the best product for cleaning it and what sort of scrubbers should I use? Magic Eraser magically does absolutely nothing and is worse than a traditional sponge (what a waste of money that thing was). My septic tank is about to be replaced so I don't need to worry about ruining it.
What do you recommend for cleaning it? Do you think CLR will work? I've tried septic safe CLR in the past and it didn't do the job.
I hope the Sanagloss is not ruined and would like to use something that won't damage it.
Should I bother cleaning the inside of the tank as well? I don't know when I will be able to get the water softener installed.
Try some white vinegar. It is a mild acid. My wife uses it for alot of cleaning. With a scouring pad should do the trick. I recommend this to customers over clr and the like.
Thanks. I actually have tried vinegar in the past. It didn't get the stains out. I'll try again though.
What sorts of things are bad for Sanagloss? (I know sandpaper is bad and probably steel wool-- and I have been tempted to try both to get those stains out but know they would probably ruin the toilet). :P
Since my septic tank is about to be filled in, I decided to get something that is designed to remove hard water stains. I also used a couple of other cleaners (making sure to completely rinse out the bowl between each type). I used warm water. I shut off the water and sponged out the water in the bottom to be able to see better. I wrapped a toothbrush in a scouring pad to get at some of the crevices. I even used toothpaste in the bowl so it wouldn't smell so bad when I had to lean into it. Probably not recommended measures, but I think I did a decent job. There is no overhead light so I couldn't see some of the remaining stains until the flash from my camera illuminated them. I still may go back and try to scrub the rest of the stains out (and clean the floor). I should have taken a before picture, but it was really absolutely disgusting.
I wish Sanagloss repelled the hard water stains. The part under the rim and at the front of the toilet still has some darker stains, but its very hard to clean there-- at least for me.
Barkeeper's friend is also a mild acid - oxalic acid. I use it on my stainless steel pots and pans. The can also suggests its use on porcelain toilets. As well, it suggests its use to remove rust stains from concrete driveways. I can tell you that it does wonders removing burned-on stuff from my pans. It still takes a bit of elbow grease and the scrubber-size of a sponge, but me and this stuff are now best friends.
I really wish I had taken a before picture. I regret not doing that.
Now if I can find something to restore the Kohler Zofa seat to whitened state. Somehow it has gotten the hard water discoloration, and I can't use anything abrasive without ruining it. It is porous and is like rubber. I'm not sure how else to describe it-- not sure what the material is.

Blueberry Pie is a real comfort food, served warm with a big scoop of ice cream, it's the perfect family dessert. Pastry can be tricky to perfect so if you're not completely confident just roll out ready-to-use pastry or a bag to which you add water. It's the blueberry filling that's the real winner here!
|Blueberry Pie
Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time: 90 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 2 hours 30 mins
Serves: 12
- For the pastry:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup ice cold water
- Or simply Premade Pastry
- Milk for brushing
- For the filling:
- 4 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of a lemon
- For the pastry:
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, salt and flour. Pour in 1/4 cup of water very slowly while mixing together until the dough is soft. Add a little more if necessary but don't over water!
- Place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface and divide in two. Roll the halves into 2 flat circles. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Remove 1 half of the chilled pastry and roll out to fit in a 9 inch pie tin. Place the pastry tin in the fridge until your filling is ready.
- For the Filling:
- In a pan over a low heat, ad the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and blueberries. Simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Remove the tin from the fridge and fill with the bluberry filling.
- With the second sheet of pastry, roll into a 9 inch circle and place on top of the blueberry filling.
- Brush the top layer with milk and place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for another 35 minutes until the juices begin to bubble and the pastry is a dark golden brown.
- Allow to cool to room temperature and serve with ice cream!

Do you think it'll just be in Los Santos, or will San Fierro and Las Venturas be included in GTA V? I think it could just be Los Santos initially, with add on missions for unlockable maps to San Fierro and Las Venturas. However, with jets in the game, I'd be suprised if it just was Los Santos. Hopping from LS to SF to LV airports seems more likely. I'm curious to see what other people think.
As in the past, Rockstar puts out 3-4 trailers before a games release. The other released trailers could be teasers for the other locations in the game (San Fierro and Las Venturas). As in San Andreas, Los Santos is the first area to explore, so perhaps that's why they announced GTA V with this location first?
SALVO 78It's time to kick ash and chew bubblegum…and I'm all out of gum
Responded to the other thread, I think more reveal trailers are to follow. I see what looks to be Mount Chiliad and part of a countryside. Throughout the trailer it looks like there's a lot of area to explore out in the distance of Los Santos that we didn't even get to see. But, it also seems as if San Andreas is broken apart for individual games, starting with Los Santos, which looks incredible btw. I don't see San Fierro and Las Venturas being DLC. Too big to be add ons and would obviously be too expensive to be DLC. More like a price tag of a full game. We just have to wait it out to see what Rockstar has up their sleeve.
After the success of TLATD & BoGT they must have some DLC planed, a whole city might be a bit much to hope for though.
Perhaps they will have San Fierro included? I saw the Golden Gate Bridge. A teaser of what is yet to come? I don't see them adding Las Ventauras because they seem to be focusing specifically on California. Las Vaentauras is in Nevada.
I hope they give us the whole thing. I wouldn't mind more DLC with other characters. But not them in the other cities.
It's just Los Santos and Vinewood returning from San Andreas - However there are two new cities making an appearance that are connected by freeways and such, somewhat connected to LS. Hunter's Valley and Los Palmas.
The map is GINOURMAS -- 2x bigger than San Andreas, at LEAST!
Which means we will have plenty of places to fly around :)
dude ide love to see one main city..with alot to do in it. if u get more than one..theres just too much to do! going back to a LA style city...would be awesome!!! i would think it'll be out in the spring..like the last one...
There is already a topic for that; it's called "When's the release date?". Check there.
I think we would all love to see the other 2 cities with all the backroads hillbilly breading grounds back lol. I used to love driving those highways from Los Santos to Fierro - and Los Santos to Los Vantures.... - if they didnt give us that on some level it would be an epic fail. I would love to purchase as many add ons as possible so do it up Rockstar! Give me options of buying things for my multi character as well, I would really like that. That way you could choose to bling out your girl/guy a lil more for some XBOX points...................
Most likely DLC, although most people believe it can't be done. Hmm, right up R*'s alley don't you think? Also, I would like to see the other two cities but if we stick to Southern LA, but it's still three NEW cities, I wouldn't mind. I just want them to have MORE ROOM FOR RP AND MP CONTENT.

text: The best advice we've ever given or received is "Eat a sandwich."Get wise at JoeDough, opening tomorrow, from Joe Dobias and Jill Schulster (JoeDoe).Ancestral objets d'art (plastic moose menorah, Schulster's pointe shoes, portraits) fill their small space, and they've kept the sandwich menu simple: eight regulars, one daily special, all $10.The Conflicted Jew (challah, chicken liver, bacon, onions) is Dobias's OG and inspiration. Order it or a brisket roll with peppercorn mayo, local cheddar, and caramelized onions. If you're dazed and confused, a grilled cheese is EV appropriate. Dobias's veggie-eggplant Parm with mozz and marinara comes on an Italian hero; seasonal relishes and Schulster's celery soda round out a meal.In homage to Long Island deli catering, they're making three- and six-foot mix-and-match heroes. And just for DailyCandy and opening day, duck hash gets a sunny-side up turkey egg and pickled garlic radishes.Which we politely suggest you eat.

On this day: 8 July
- 08 July 2013 09:31
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City's history.
Wednesday, 8th July 2011
Stefan Savic signs for City from Partizan Belgrade, becoming the first Montenegrin to play in the Premier League in the process. The 20-year-old defender is rated as one of the brightest prospects in European football and is granted a work permit by the Home Office thanks to his prominence in the Montenegro national team for whom he had earned 10 caps by the time he joined the Blues.
Savic struggles to make an impact at the Etihad Stadium and departs for Fiorentina a year later, as part of the deal that brings Matija Nastasic to Manchester. The new arrival makes an immediate impression on the side and makes 25 appearances in his debut season, despite strong competition in the centre back role.
Tuesday 8th July 1902
Sam Ormerod resigns after City are relegated to the Second Division with debts of £1,000. He was the first manager in the Blues' history to lead the club to the top flight of English football after gaining promotion to the First Division in 1899. Ormerod won 111 out of 240 games during his time at City, with a win percentage of just under half in his seven year stint.
Thursday 8th July 1954
Phil Woosnam, nephew of City legend Max Woosnam and cousin of golfer Ian Woosnam, leaves City and signs for Sutton United. In three years he played just once for the Blues and seemed to be drifting out of the game before re-igniting his career with West Ham and then Aston Villa. After he moved to America, Woosnam helped form the North American Soccer League as well managing the national team.

The new policy says Boulder campus officials "may refer individuals accused of making threats of violence for an assessment of the likelihood that they will act on a threat of violence."
A free-speech watchdog group called the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says the policy could make people hesitant to speak freely despite First Amendment protections.
CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard says the policy was meant to keep the campus safe while protecting free-speech rights.

In a modern world, the best thing to learn first is how to render the game runnable under Linux.
First off, the latest VirtualBox should be downloaded and installed, then those three dynamic-link libraries should be extracted to the main game folder.
general > advanced > untick "show toolbar in fullscreen;"
audio > host driver > alsa; network > bridged adapter;
select windows as the installation media, then install;
install guest additions, then enable their offered graphics capabilities;
every time one restarts the virtual machine, consideration should be given to:
cut down host resolution (integer-value native division; aspect-ratio maintenance)
through its system settings (useful for cases in which the resolution is of 640*480);
switch to fullscreen mode through holding down the host key, then pressing the f one;
disable mouse integration through holding down the host key, then pressing the i one;
The outlined packet-wrapping-implementation processus provides the platform from which any combination of virtual and actual machines can be connected together, right from default Windows-XP configurations, bare obvious modifications, such as positively answering to the firewall prompt. Be warned that packet wrapping has to be implemented on every side, and that the main-executable checksums should be matching.
In case one desires to transfer their stuff from one character to another through legitimate and classic means, it is possible to connect two virtual machines from the same host together. This can be accomplished by either cloning the main entertainment virtual machine to a secondary, transferring-purposes virtual one, or creating the latter anew (in the case where there has been clone processing, a new MAC address has to be generated for the cloned machine, and a new computer name should be chosen for it, too), then having them both running at the same time, connected through the game. (Secondary-virtual-machine audio in the settings page should be set to "disabled.")
Using these configuration-protocol, up to four actual and virtual machines can be connected together, even through a combination of wired and wireless network adapters, and interact while in the game, and that, running whichever host operating system one desires to.
For it to be noted, installing the guest additions may, as a step, not be that necessary. It is mainly useful for files to be transferred to and from the host machine using the folder-sharing technology instead of the removeable-media one, or even of the Internet one. For example, for Diablo or StarCraft save-game backups. The fourth step may, for the sake of simplicity, therefore be skipped as one wills.
Finally, it occurred to me that some resolutions might be lacking in the "displays" tab of the Oneiric Ubuntu-distro release. As a solution to this, one may run the "xrandr" command through the terminal to set host-side double guest scaling; "xrandr -s 960x540" (from 16:9 1080p) for example.
Furthermore, virtual machines can be started through the terminal using the "vboxmanage startvm machine-names" command; "vboxmanage startvm vm1 vm2; xrandr -s 960x540," followed by "xrandr -s 1920x1080; exit" at the end of a gaming session to restore the native monitor resolution and then exiting the terminal, can, for example, be used as a combination.

title: untouched
one can tell whether their characters have or not been damaged through the following formulas:
(keep in mind that one does not gain life, nor mana, with the attaining of their fiftieth level)
life = 2·vitality + 2·clvl + life(items) + 18
mana = 1·magic + 1·clvl + mana(items) - 1
life = 1·vitality(base) + 1.5·vitality(difference) + 2·clvl + life(items) + 23
mana = 1·magic(base) + 1.5·magic(difference) + 2·clvl + mana(items) + 5
(difference refers to the base statistic subtracted from the now one)
life = 1·vitality + 1·clvl + life(items) + 9
mana = 2·magic + 2·clvl + mana(items) - 2

title: hints
this game is best played on a local-area network, together with people one knows can be cooperative.
the date should be set to a year between 1996 and 2038 for random level generation to be working as it should.
for a character to avoid permanent life and mana reductions, both fascinating, ornate, and sacred shrines, together with cauldrons and goat shrines (random-effect shrines), and black deaths (findable in levels three to five) should like the plague be avoided.
it should also be noted that treasures which are among the greatest are to be found in the hottest places. however, this is but a general rule, and exceptions do exist -- for example, the meat-covered helm of spirits.

title: ironman
three characters -- one of each class -- have to be created. the use of fresh characters is important, as it is required to benefit from the hidden, first-session, class-dependent shield-blocking bonuses. the join order -- important as it influences monster targeting choices -- may best be from warrior to sorcerer. interaction with townsfolk is permitted, but only at the start, since once the town floor is left, foot can never be set back on it -- that is, townsfolk are to be bidden farewell to. the only acceptable way of taking any set of stairs is moving downwards -- which means, conceiving town as "level 0," that level numbers are to be increased, without any room for alternatives -- such as restarting in town, or entering town portals -- to this fundamental rule. the party therefore survives using only what is to be found in the dungeon -- its ultimate goal being to venture as deep as possible into its labyrinths -- at least until having exhausted all reasonable means of continuing. useful tactics include grouping, resource conservation, and the sound application of class-specificities knowledge -- for example, a proper focus on respective-class assets increases the overall effectiveness of the party; the same applies when each of its members is well aware of what is expected of them. effective communication is also -- indeed -- an integral part of most ironman successes.

title: backups & miscellaneous technical information
Install Diablo, patch to v1.07, then crack using releases either from NeCr0s, shadowRUNNER, or EVC (all are patching up to the same checksum if I remember correctly). Remember to keep the mpq file from the official disc.
In order to perform backups, paste the following into a batch file, which is to afterwards be ran:
@echo %computername% > pc-name.txt
@xcopy "%systemroot%\dlinfo_*.drv" "%cd%" /h
@attrib -s -h "%cd%\dlinfo_*.drv"

- " Not the kind of hostel I like to stay at. Very large but usually only one person at reception available. Breakfast cost 2 euro and was not good. There was no kitchen but only microwave. No refrigerator. That is a problem since the hostel is so far up a hill that it's hard to access any restaurant or food store. The vending machines that had food to microwave were very expensive. Not a good place for a budget backpacker. Spend an extra couple of euros and stay in the city. View was only positive "

The Orleans Parish Public School Board has rejected the Louisiana Science Education Act, which followed Texas's lead by putting Creationism into the state's schools. A Board decision prohibits the teaching of Creationism in science class, and forbids the use of Texas's revisionist, Creationist "science" textbooks.
The policy says: "No history textbook shall be approved which has been adjusted in accordance with the state of Texas revisionist guidelines nor shall any science textbook be approved which presents creationism or intelligent design as science or scientific theories."
It stresses the separation of science and religious teachings:
"No teacher of any discipline of science shall teach any aspect of religious faith as science or in a science class. No teacher of any discipline of science shall teach creationism or intelligent design in classes designated as science classes."
Orleans Parish School Board votes to ban creationism [Tania Dall/WWLTV] (Thanks, Patrick!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Awesome. But I feel some lawyerley interference pending as the religious nut-jobs fight back.

What the. . .a southern school system rightfully throwing out Creationism? A Christmas miracle!

Louisiana is heavily Catholic. They officially believe in science.
ocker3 says:
I'm willing to agree that Louisianans might, but just because they're Catholic? The Pope sure doesn't use science to back up his position on contraception
Antinous / Moderator says:
The church's position on contraception is prescriptive (well, actually proscriptive); its position on evolution is descriptive. The former doesn't require science since it's just a rule and, "Because I said so," is sufficient justification.
rbdewell says:
This had to be passed because the devout catholic governor was the one pushing to teach creationism across the state. Thank God they did
Antinous / Moderator says:
He's going against the Vatican, then.
C W says:
"devout catholic"
I doubt this. He's much more concerned with courting the Protestant evangelical vote than he is to practice his own faith.

Yeah, that would be my take on it, too.

What creationist textbooks? The Texas Board of Education unanimously rejected them in 2011: http://ncse.com/news/2011/07/victory-evolution-texas-006802

Pretty sure that should read, "Texas' revisionist history textbooks"

Yes, methinks Cory conflated the terrible approved Texas history textbooks with the terrible, but abandoned, creationist textbooks.

I'll file this next to the stories of law makers trying to legislate the value of pi.

You mean stories about school boards REJECTING legislative efforts to redefine the value of pi, right?
Jewels Vern says:
No, I never heard any such story. I mean I never heard any story about a school board rejecting any legislation of any kind. Have you?
wysinwyg says:
This post is about exactly such a story.
The Orleans Parish Public School Board has rejected the Louisiana Science Education Act,
ChicagoD says:
In 1986 my Freshman biology teacher taught creationism and evolution in a compare/contrast way. So, he'd present radiocarbon dating and the science behind it. Then he'd present how scientists use that data to evaluate fossils and how that fits in to our understanding of evolution. Then he'd present how creationists just . . . don't believe in radiocarbon dating.
I've always appreciated that class. It made very clear that creationism was not science, but left each person in the class to parse the details out (i.e. promoted the evil of critical thinking).
iamlegion says:
As much crap as we give the South when they do something awful, things like this need to be celebrated & encouraged. Any Boingers down there need to remember this when that School Board comes back up for re-election…

So is Austin supposedly and Texas bubba culture still got what it wanted in sabotaging education standards even further. A victory is a victory.
Robert says:
I constantly have to remember this (well, something like this) since I've moved to the Bay Area in California. Everyone likes to think of California as this awesome progressive place, but if you've ever taken the highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, you'll see that there's nothing in between except irrigated farms in the desert with billboards up complaining about how Congress is taking away the water that they artificially have. The exact area, by the way, which defeated the gay marriage equality act.

Ehhhh… kinda, sorta. Everything North of Lake Pontchartrain skews waaaayyy right. New Orleans is in a similar boat as Austin. Those boats just happen to be floating in a sea of red.
ocker3 says:
There's a lot of red in Cali as well, if you ignore the cities
Kirby Schroeder says:
That's part of the point, I think: California is VERY red in terms of square miles… But square miles do not vote, and California's urban areas are pretty massive and growing while the state's rural areas are in a steady population decline.
C W says:
WA as well.
Boundegar says:
I wonder if the local school board has the authority to override the state legislature. It would be sad if this was an empty gesture.
ChicagoD says:
It will never be an empty gesture. The idea that what I'm pretty sure is the largest school system in the state is pushing back this way is important, even if it is a legal nullity.
Boundegar says:
Good point.
Jorpho says:
I guess it's nice, but it will take a lot more than just one school board to wrest control of the textbook publishers away from Texas. Yes, at best this could be the start of a new and wonderful movement that will sweep the nation! But at worst, this will just make it harder for the schoolboard in question to get relatively inexpensive, quality textbooks.
The Muddle Machine dates back to 2004, but awesome as it is, I will link to it anyway unless someone can say that it is definitively out of date now.

You spelled "two" wrong. Sheesh.
Ken Wheaton says:
Now if the Orleans school board could just work on its own grammar. They seem a little confused about that/which usage.
lafave says:
If you don't already know it, you'll learn from those posts that the prohibition against using which to introduce integrated relative clauses is a made-up "rule", unsanctioned by the usage of good writers in any era. Still, I think that there's a germ of sociolinguistic truth in Coulter's theory — "which hunting" is a favorite sport of down-market American copy editors, so that the rate of which in integrated relatives is lower in American journalism than it is in British journalism. As a result, integrated which may indeed have an elitist flavor for those American readers who have noticed the difference.
chgoliz says:
Best news I've heard all day. Applause, applause.
mrranderson says:
Good job for New Orleans.
I happen to be southern and religious, but my beliefs do not belong in any classroom. You can not pass off creationism as science because it is not anything close to science. Those history books in Texas are not any better.
blueelm says:
It's ok, there is not much education going on anyway so those textbooks are mostly unread.
Religion is about believing the truth without evidence. Science is about proving the truth with evidence.
They are both about the same thing.
I am wary of scientists who profess unproven atheist religious beliefs as though proven fact. They are as unscientific as the religious people that are not atheists.
wysinwyg says:
I've never once heard an atheist claim it has been proven or that it is even possible to prove there is no such thing as God.
I've never known of an atheist whose beliefs could be described as "religious" except for vacuous and question-begging definitions of "religion".
Suggesting that religion and science are "the same thing" is pretty ridiculous. The only people I know of who hold such a position are Biblical literalists.
I do not say religion and science are the same thing… Actually, I said they are "about" the same thing: Truth.
Most atheists act like the burden of proof is upon non- atheists to prove God exists, based on the presumption that it does not exist until proven otherwise.
I look at the science, and find no difference between atheists and other types of religious people in this respect, neither of which present scientific evidence to support their beliefs. Atheists view themselves as being non-religious, yet believing God does not
exists is as religious a belief as believing IT does exist, where there is no scientific proof to show the belief is true.
An atheist has faith that God does not exist.
Science verifies which religious beliefs are true, and which are not, and in this respect, they are compatible and are complimentary, with science filtering untrue notions out of religious traditions, and in this respect science itself could be considered an aspect of religion.
The object of religion is the truth, as is the case with science, both respect and seek this same thing, and while science is method for proving the truth, religion relies upon "gut feeling" and other senses to discern the truth in a manner of theoretical science, which is then just believed until science either verifies the truth or that which is untrue.
Antinous / Moderator says:
The object of religion is the truth
Funny, I thought that the object was to control and abuse other people.
A lot of people think that, which is why it probably happens so much to religions.
Interesting to note that school on the other hand certainly does seek to control and abuse people, by some interpretations.
In looking at the teaching of Christ, which some people call a religion, it is interesting to note that Jesus taught people to be loving and the opposite of being controlling, yet most who claim to be followers of his teaching do not follow it, and do the opposite, which others then copy and call "Christianity", defaming the teaching of Jesus, which itself is a fine practical teaching of the laws of physics in commonplace terms.
C W says:
"A lot of people think that, which is why it probably happens so much to religions."
And where do those people come from? Within the faith.
C W says:
"I do not say religion and science are the same thing… Actually, I said they are "about" the same thing: Truth."
Objective truth versus subjective experiential.
tubacat says:
Wow-that's an interesting conglomeration you've put forward ("science filtering untrue notions out of religious traditions"). No serious scientist I know of spends any time trying to "prove" or "disprove" notions from religious traditions. There are much more important questions to answer, and scientists are aware that you can't "prove" anything to a believer who doesn't want to believe what they are being told (hence the rejection of evolution by some Christians). And I keep putting "prove" in quotes, because scientists also know that the best you can do is look at what the evidence supports, that scientific "truth" can change, and that the only place you can actually prove something is in mathematics.
Rindan says:
You don't understand atheism. The only thing atheism believes is that you should work off of evidence. An atheist for instance realizes that particle physics as we currently model it could very well be wrong. It accepts that that belief might get upended tomorrow. However, in the meantime, it makes sense to believe that particle physics is more likely to be closer to the truth than believing that very small invisible turtles push particles around. Both could technically be true, but based upon observations of the world, particle physics as we currently understand it more likely to be correct than the invisible turtle theory.
Likewise, an atheist could accept that there is a Christian god, that we are in a big VR sim, or that the flying spaghetti monster are what we have in store for the afterlife. That said, seeing as how we have never found any even vaguely verifiable evidence of magic/gods/whatever, it is more likely that once you are dead, what appears to happen when you die is exactly what happens you die… you die and stay dead. It isn't an absolute belief that can't be shaken, but it is close enough to live by.
As an atheist, I think that it is entirely possible that we are living in some big computer simulation on some dude's desk. I accept this as being a possibility, and a possibility that isn't all that far fetched. That said, I live my life like I am not a computer simulation because there is no strong evidence to make me believe otherwise. Likewise, I don't live my life going to church and or by following the rules of ancient superstitious goat herders because while it is possible that they are right, there is no evidence for it. I have a strict "assume reality is real" position that I tend to stick to until prove otherwise.
zuludaddy says:
I disagree with your logic: the "truth" must, by definition, be provable. Religion is about faith, which in turn is about believing something without evidence, but the very fact of a wide plurality of religions pretty much rules out any kind of monopoly on the truth by any one of them. And science is about proving theories which account for all the available evidence, not about knowing "the truth." So, not at all the same thing, really.
Nick Harvey says:
Religion is about believing *something* without evidence.
Science is about examining the evidence, in order to arrive at the truth.
Petzl says:
Please. You know that Religion and Science are in no way the same thing.
Also, atheists don't have religious beliefs. They are asserting that there's no evidentiary basis for beliefs the religious hold. That assertion is not a "belief." It is, as you yourself said, a fact.
But, I'll give you points for not saying evolution is "just" a theory.
Yes. Like I repeated above, I said religion and science are -about- the same thing, being: The Truth.
Are you saying that atheists do not believe that God does not exist?
It certainly is interesting how people all define some words a little differently, resulting in
insynchronicities in communications. I have found that in my interviews, atheists all have a slightly different description of what they think atheism is,and your expressions in this regard adds to that variety of definitions an most unique interpretation, for which I thank you for your interesting input.
As per evolution, I have always viewed evolution as a critical part of creation, and not in competition with it. Neither denies the other, only people do, in their combative interpretations which regard science and some of the things taught by religion as in opposition.
Where science and religion meet and agree, is in the truth, whether confirmed by science, or yet to be confirmed by science, while the faithful wait for the proof which science promises to verify (one day).
C W says:
"Religion is about believing the truth without evidence. Science is about proving the truth with evidence.
They are both about the same thing."
What on earth are you babbling about? Stop conflating things foolishly.
robcat2075 says:
"Religion is about believing the truth without evidence. Science is about proving the truth with evidence.
They are both about the same thing."
So "with" and "without " are about the same thing. Yup, that will work well.
Marios P. says:
God damn right!
BillGlover says:
Posted as a response to Godon Stark, for some reason Disqus seems to have made it a reply to all.
Your logical fallacy is: Strawman
You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate.
Example: After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenceless by cutting military spending.
Daedalus says:
I like how unequivocal it is. "Do not bring your idiot-making devices into MY school district, Texas!"
It's probably possible to finesse this if you have to (ie: use it as an opportunity to teach how you shouldn't believe everything you read or whatever), but you shouldn't have to.
rbdewell says:
As a proud product of the Orleans Parish school system and current scientist , this is the best headline I've seen in a while. A true christmas gift
Selena60 says:
Looks like the Baptists will keep sending floods until NO gets the message.
Petzl says:
I think this may count as "rebelling against God" and/or "not letting God into the classroom."
I fear a disaster, natural or man-made, will soon hit Louisiana, and they have only themselves to blame.
Tracy Sanders says:
I'm (sheds single tear) so happy…
CATRYNA49 says:
Public school is a "Government school." The teacher is a "Government official." Thus there has to be separation of government and religion. Why is that so difficult to understand? Religion should be taught in the home, as there are too many different beliefs and opinions that do not agree with each other. Creationism if taught in the school would be by any definition, more than likely incorrect, as it would have to have government sanction and we all know what that means. Just let it go and take care of your own children in this respect as God commands, anyway. It is none of the government's business and certainly not the schools.

For Valentine's Day: Hanging Heart, Jeff KoonsFebruary 13th, 2009 by Mariana Carpinisan
We are all mesmerized by Jeff Koons' Hanging Heart which sold at Sotheby's for $27 million, and which is one of five versions he created for his "Celebration" series. This 3500 pound piece is powerful, well-crafted, and nine-feet tall, and it is made of chromium stainless steel coated with ten layers of paint—a true hanging wonder.
Next to Koons' Balloon Flower, Balloon Dog, or Puppy (which once graced the entrance of the Guggenheim Bilbao), the Hanging Heart represents the embodiment of love and serves as a reminder that there is a child in all of us.
Mariana Carpinisan has lived in Washington, D.C. since 1995, where she serves as an art critic, independent curator, and lecturer for the Smithsonian Institution. She has led more than 60 Smithsonian Journeys. Click here to learn more about traveling with Mariana Carpinisan and to read her biography.

Carolina Prez: SEC Going To 9-Game Schedule In 2012
November 7th, 2011 11:30 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Tags: Arkansas South Carolina, Meaning Missouri, SEC, South Carolina
If you're not a fan of horn-tooting, you probably won't like this post. But for those new readers to the site, below are a few reasons why you might want to stop by on a regular basis.
For weeks and months SEC officials have said that the league was interested only in an eight-game conference schedule for 2012 and beyond.
But on October 20th and 21st, we pointed out that the SEC would likely have to move to a nine-game league schedule once it reached 14 teams:
"… it's our bet that Missouri will find itself in the SEC East if/when it finally comes aboard. We also expect the SEC to eventually go to a nine-game conference schedule featuring a 6-1-2 format in order for non-divisional foes to face one another more often."
Well, yesterday evening South Carolina president Harris Pastides said that the SEC would indeed be going to a nine-game league schedule in 2012. (Mizzou is also going to the East Division.)
Interestingly enough, moving to nine-game schedule will mean that all 12 SEC teams will have to break a contract with a nonconference team already on their schedules. (Hey, Big 12, if you let Missouri go there will be about 12 new schools that will be looking for new nonconference games next fall. That should take care of the "how will we replace Mizzou on our schedules" argument.)
We also projected in the above piece on October 21st that Missouri would likely choose Texas A&M as its permanent cross-divisional rival from the West because of Gary Pinkel's desire to recruit Texas. Pastides told The Daily Gamecock yesterday that South Carolina will keep its traditional rivalry with Arkansas moving forward. Meaning: Missouri will face Texas A&M as its permanent cross-divisional rival just as we suspected. (Click the link for the 21st and you'll get a good look at what we believe the 6-1-2 nine-game conference schedule will look like for each team.)
Finally, we've said on numerous occasions that the SEC is not eyeing a move to 16-teams. Though Arkansas AD Jeff Long tweeted yesterday that Missouri would "initially" play in the East, we didn't take that to mean the league would expand further and then switch Missouri to the West. To be perfectly honest, we're not sure what Long meant by that.
But we are comfortable in stating again that 16 is not on the minds of the SEC's presidents. And Pastides confirmed that yesterday as well.
"This adjustment to 14 is a big bite, a big step forward. I don't want to be thinking about a 15th or 16th anytime soon." Pastides also said, "most presidents feel like me."
If Pastides isn't blowing smoke — and it's unlikely that he is — then:
1. Missouri will be in the East
2. The SEC will go to a nine-game league schedule
3. Arkansas-South Carolina will continue their cross-divisional rivalry which means Missouri-Texas A&M will likely begin one of their own
4. The SEC isn't interested in racing to 15 or 16 teams any time soon
Our sources across the SEC told us from the outset that the league wanted to incorporate Missouri and Texas A&M with as little fuss as possible. Knowing that, we projected that items 1, 2 and 3 would come to pass.
In a world ruled by Twitter where every writer and every reader wants to get information first, we still managed — if Pastides is being honest — to be both first and right.
And right's a helluva lot more important. Thanks for reading the site. And be sure to check out our schedule breakdown above.

Created: 05/18/2013 2:30 PM
By: The Associated Press
The head of the New Mexico Economic Development Department says a massive tax package passed by lawmakers in the final days of the legislative session is having a positive effect on jobs.
Secretary Jon Barela says that in addition to saving roughly 1,500 jobs, about 200 jobs are expected to be created in the next several months in response to the tax package.
Barela made the comments Friday during a legislative hearing in Santa Fe as debate over the measure continues to simmer.
The package cuts the state's corporate income tax rate to 5.9 percent.
It also included an expansion of the film tax credit for qualifying television shows filmed in New Mexico.
Sen. Jacob Candelaria, an Albuquerque Democrat, tells the Albuquerque Journal that he's skeptical of the job retention claims.

text: Filming in 1947 and 1948, Leo Hurwitz uses newsreel images of the Second World War, as if bringing it back from apparent oblivion, in his quest for the source of fear in the faces of urban passersby, who, he says, seem "haunted in broad daylight." The setup of this extraordinary documentary essay (featuring journalistic research, archival footage, and fictional reconstructions) is that of a film noir, but Hurwitz, with his audacious editing and blunt commentary, infuses it with a substance far more radical and harrowing than anything Hollywood could produce. The horrors of a world in which concentration camps functioned untouched are shown to have a pathological parallel in American prejudice—anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, and especially racism in all its forms, from job and housing discrimination to lynching, the victims of which Hurwitz calls "the casualties of a war." Tracking Hitler's rise to power, Hurwitz is shocked to find "the ideas of the loser still active in the land of the winner." The film acts as a kind of collective psychoanalysis; its findings are yet to be worked through. Released in 1948.

In Google Drive, Confluence or JIRA you can use export/import to import mockups you've created on your site, or those you saved from elsewhere, for instance Mockups to Go. Here's how you'd do it.
Export Mockup (from Confluence or JIRA)
- Open the mockup and select the menu Mockup > Export Mockup XML.
Export Mockup from a different Balsamiq product
If you use the Desktop app:
- Export the mockup from the Desktop app using the menu File > Export Mockup XML. The contents are copied to your clipboard.
Note: even if you don't have a paid version of the Desktop app, you can still download and use the trial version to open and export mockup files (after 7 days you can no longer save files, but all other features are fully-functional). This can be a convenient way, for example, to get Mockups to Go libraries into your plugin version.
If you use myBalsamiq:
- Export the mockup from the menu Project > Export Mockup XML. The contents are copied to your clipboard.
If you don't use the Desktop app or myBalsamiq:
- Open the mockup from a text editor (like Notepad or or TextEdit) and copy its contents to your clipboard.
For Confluence or JIRA:
- Export the Mockup XML from the product you are exporting from (see instructions above)
- Create a new mockup in your Mockups plugin.
- When the editor is loaded, use the menu Mockups > Import Mockup XML...
- Paste the mockup data in the text area and click Import.
Note: To see a demonstration of this process in Confluence see our tutorial on Creating a Mockups Design Library in Confluence.
For Google Drive:
- Click the Upload button (next to the Create button) and select "Files..." from the menu.
- Select the mockup file(s) you would like to upload.
Alternatively, you can also follow the same steps described above to import mockup XML into Google Drive.
More Import/Export Options#
If you use Google Drive, Confluence or JIRA but don't have a license for one of our Mockups plugins, you can still share your mockups using these products. To do this, upload your mockups as images (go to "File > Export to PNG image" in the Desktop version) and attach or embed the images. You can also upload your Mockups (.bmml) files for other Desktop users to download to their computers.
If you're looking for import/export options for other applications or file formats, a good number of extensions have been written so far. You can find the list of import/export extensions here.
Our BMML format is open and documented.

When I read Meg Hirshberg's book "For Better or for Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and Their Families" I knew instantly that I wanted Meg to join our slate of Founders School experts. The goal of Founders School is to provide entrepreneurs with crucial skills and knowledge, and to do so with an eye to topics that are important but rarely discussed in typical entrepreneurship education programs. The subject of Meg's book is just such a topic. We all know that entrepreneurs have to juggle a variety of considerations when founding a company: team building, assessment of product/market fit, intellectual property, and how to get that first important customer. What many entrepreneurs and, more importantly, their families, know is that there's a juggle on the family side of the equation as well, but it's one that many entrepreneurs may be reluctant to talk about.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — David Wise won the gold medal in the Olympic debut of halfpipe skiing Tuesday, cutting through heavy snow to easily outclass the field.

The 23-year-old American scored a 92 on his first run through the halfpipe clogged by wet, soggy rain and snow all night.
Mike Riddle of Canada took silver with a 90.6 and Kevin Rolland of France won bronze.
Wise came into the Sochi Olympics with three straight Winter X Games titles to his credit.
Variable conditions have played a part in many of the action-sport events. A week earlier, Shaun White had trouble on the same halfpipe and finished fourth.
Not so for Wise, whose first-run score held up as the snow got heavier.
