(Addendum: If you're a Blizzard customer service rep reading this, as I'm unsure if you guys DO read public relations issues like you should given that you're a faceless American corporation where consumer rights are considered a mamby pamby thought experiment like communism, I wish to inform you my reader demographic broke 9 million yesterday, with 100k cascading viewers across all social networks. Keep this in mind when realising what a PR kick to the balls this issue is from my keyboard to my viewers eyes alone. So seriously, pick your fucking game up guys.)
Below is an article from Fairfax outlining the changes to WoW's 14 day free trial becoming unlimited. I was chatting to a journalist about it, when we discovered the restrictions on accounts was … well, patently absurd.
The 14 day free trial restrictions were moronic, as you REALLY couldn't experience anything that most of us consider main reasons to play as it was.
The new system, while it sounds good (unlimited free play) has the most absurd restrictions I've ever imagined could be imposed. You can't even /tell, or participate in general chat, or /say apparently. You can't join a guild, or parties unless they're lowbier than you. You can't do much of anything.
The reason this is so bothersome I'm posting about it is, WoW needs new blood. EVERY expansion their membership growth rate has HALVED, and player retention is unspectacular.
I run an extremely large guild (follow us @malleusvindicta or take a peek at our website and ask for an add if you play on US-Moon Guard), I'm an objective play by numbers kind of guy. I've seen more people leave the game of age and lifestyle enough to fund ongoing play than join which means one eternal thing.
Blizzard's World of Warcraft is bleeding both cash and players.
What does this mean to players? It likely means they'll find ways to make the game more of a grind, so everything takes longer. They'll likely break a demographic class beyond repair for a few months causing you to rage and roll a new character (ie: hunters broken during every expansion to date, druids … well, always crap) to escape the horrors.
As it is you grind to end game, grind all your faction rep up, grab that gear to grind a charity tier, use that to grind a full tier, then bam, new tier, grind grind grind grind bloody grind. It's like a twisted Skinner box experiment without cheese as a reward.
My recommendation to Blizzard is, pick up your game, let them experience WoW properly, perhaps limit trading and partying with people too high a level above. For the instigating article, read below.
Ps: It'd be nice if you allowed us to PURCHASE level 85 status with in game stuff or even bloody cash, I don't have the time to level a new 85 every time you ruin my classes in question, and you can kill the power-leveling industry you so seem to hate (even though it causes longer player duration, and gold sales balance your very VERY poor concept of an economy) and will allow us to not have to spend several months of the year just grinding through the same boring crap grinds.
THAT impenetrable fortress of online gaming, World of Warcraft, has made a concession to the free-to-play hordes that gather in an effort to chip away at the empire – it's also free.
At least, WoW's new Starter Edition is free.
Replacing a more customary 14-day trial and scrubbing its time limit, the Starter Edition nonetheless carries over the trial's restrictions.
In place of a time limit is instead a cap that halts character progression at level 20 out of a possible 85.
Coincidentally, it takes about two weeks playing a couple of hours each day to reach level 20, but on the other hand, those with the Starter Edition can grind out as many sub-20 characters as they like.
So what can't they do? Well, the social experience is significantly diminished: there's no voice or public chat, no guilds, no item trading (a key part of WoW's internal economy), and Starter users are prevented from creating or joining parties that contain members over the level 20 threshold.
Oh, and there's a wealth limit of 10 gold – but that's actually a decent amount in WoW terms.
For now at least, WoW remains steadfastly focused on converting new players into paid subscribers, bundling in the Burning Crusade expansion for those that pony up.
Other massively multiplayer games (MMOs) that become free-to-play – Lord of the Rings Online, Champions Online, and (soon) LEGO Universe and City of Heroes – make money by means of an in-game shop that offers extra items and quests, with optional premium memberships taking the place of a subscription tier.
Some, like Allods Online and Vindictus, launch as free-to-play from the off.
Guild Wars 2 will require a one-time retail purchase only; and then there are the brave few, such as RIFT, that pursue a fully fledged subscription model in an effort to beat the 12-million subscriber WoW at its own game.

Indonesia should ratify the Rome Statute on ICC
International Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) which is based in New York is campaigning for the ratification of the Rome Statute on the International Criminal Court (ICC) by Indonesia. The campaign which is called Universal Ratification Campaign (URC) happens in the whole month of July 2011 (http://iccnow.org/?mod=urc0711). Every single month, the CICC targets particular country.
The URC of Indonesia in July 2011 was of the request of the Indonesian Civil Society Coalition for the International Criminal Court (Koalisi Masyarakat Sipil untuk Mahkamah Pidana Internasional) whose members among other are Elsam, Imparsial, PSHK, IKOHI, Kontras, YLBHI, FRR and many others. The Indonesian Coalition is a member of the International Coalition for the ICC (CICC).
As part of the initiatives of the URC, the CICC along with its thousand members will send letters to the Indonesian authorities, including the President and the Parliament calling for the speedy process of ratification (http://iccnow.org/documents/CICC_PR_URC_Indonesia_05072011_FINAL%281%29.pdf).
The same initiatives will be taken by Indonesian Coalition and its members. Besides, the Indonesian Coalition will also carry out activities within the month July, among others lobby meeting with authorities, press conferences and public forum. The culminating activity will be on the occasion of the World Day of International Justice on July 17.
Indonesia actually already planned to ratify the ICC in 2008. This plan was mentioned in the National Plan of Action on Human Rights (RANHAM) 2004-2009. But it missed the plan.
Then in the newly launched RANHAM 2011-2014, Indonesia is planned to ratify the ICC on the third year (2013).
However, with the positive development made by Indonesia related to international human rights commitment, with the pressure and support by civil society, the ratification of the ICC by Indonesia will happen much sooner. Indonesia get only the benefits from ratifying the ICC.

The long and winding road regarding whether Washington will lose federal trademark protection for its name and logo isn't officially over, but it essentially is.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a case involving the name of a band ("The Slants") that may be offensive to Asian-Americans that the guarantee of free speech under the First Amendment overcomes the government's supposed ability to invalidate trademark rights on potentially offensive grounds. It doesn't mean that "The Slants" or "Redskins" are or aren't offensive; it means that the government can't deny trademark protection based on arguments that a given term does or could offend.
The government argued in the current case and in the Washington case that the issuance of a trademark transforms the potentially offensive term into "government speech." Justice Samuel Alito had this to say in explaining that federally-protected trademarks aren't messages from Uncle Sam: "[I]f trademarks represent government speech, what does the Government have in mind when it advises Americans to 'make.believe' (Sony), 'Think different' (Apple), 'Just do it' (Nike), or 'Have it your way' (Burger King)? Was the Government warning about a coming disaster when it registered the mark 'EndTime Ministries'?
The public debate regarding whether the Washington name and logo actually offends Native Americans bubbles up from time to time. I've personally chosen to avoid using the term in deference to those Native Americans who are actually and genuinely offended by the term. Other writers at PFT can make their own decisions. When a flawed Washington Post poll showed that only nine percent of 504 self-identified Native Americans deemed the term offensive, the fact that one in 10 find the dictionary-defined slur to be offensive was enough to persuade me to continue to refrain from using it.
If you choose to use it, that's fine. I'm not wagging a finger at those who use it. But in the same way that the First Amendment allows the franchise to continue to choose to use the term, the First Amendment allows me and anyone else to continue to choose to not use it. If that upsets the people who choose to use it, so be it.

Last week Theresa May lied during Prime Minister's Questions when she accused Jeremy Corbyn of betraying students. Then the Lib Dems jumped on the bandwagon. Now the Green Party and SNP are spreading this Tory lie.
So much for that 'progressive alliance', eh guys? Shame on the lot of you.
On 1 June, the NME published an interview with Jeremy Corbyn. During the interview, Corbyn said this:
"First of all, we want to get rid of student fees altogether. We'll do it as soon as we get in, and we'll then introduce legislation to ensure that any student going from the 2017-18 academic year will not pay fees. They will pay them, but we'll rebate them when we've got the legislation through – that's fundamentally the principle behind it. Yes, there is a block of those that currently have a massive debt, and I'm looking at ways that we could reduce that, ameliorate that, lengthen the period of paying it off, or some other means of reducing that debt burden.
"I don't have the simple answer for it at this stage – I don't think anybody would expect me to, because this election was called unexpectedly; we had two weeks to prepare all of this – but I'm very well aware of that problem. And I don't see why those that had the historical misfortune to be at university during the £9,000 period should be burdened excessively compared to those that went before or those that come after. I will deal with it."
The Daily Mirror has also come to Corbyn's defence on this Tory myth and made it clear what he actually said during the NME interview. At no point did Corbyn say he would end student debt, he said he would 'look at' the debt. It is blatantly obvious what Corbyn said and what he meant, but the other political parties and the Tory gutter press either have difficulty understanding English, or they are deliberately twisting Corbyn's words. Or both.
Students are less likely to believe the lies coming from the other parties, and they are also unlikely to read the crap that is being published by The Sun, the Daily Mail and UKIP's Daily Express. Most students tend to get their information from social media, and they are much smarter than the other parties realise.
I have £15k of student debt for 1 year PGCE teacher training. Corbyn never said he'd wipe my debt. I voted for future students #ToryDebtLies
— Tash (@eFlat_Horn) July 24, 2017
On the subject of tuition fees, the other parties constantly accuse Labour of introducing them. This is a lie. In fact, tuition fees were a cross-party agreement, and MPs from other political parties also voted for them, not just Labour MPs.
In 1996, John Major, who was still Conservative Prime Minister at the time, commissioned Lord Dearing to make recommendations on higher education funding.
Lord Dearing's report was published in 1997, and by then Tony Blair was Prime Minister. The Dearing Report recommended that students should pay approximately 25% of the cost of tuition but that government grants should remain in place.
Based on Lord Dearing's recommendation, David Blunkett, the Labour Education Secretary, announced the introduction of £1,000 tuition fees to be paid by every student in each year of study, beginning in September 1998. The student grant of £1,710 was abolished and replaced by means-tested student loans.
Parliament voted in favour of the Teaching and Higher Education Act and it passed into law – setting an annual tuition fee for England of £1,000. Means-testing meant a third of students did not pay anything.
So, the next time someone accuses Jeremy Corbyn of betraying students and blames Labour for tuition fees, show them this article.


text: I am once again ovulating and the pains are starting again. I am so tired and fed up of constant low back ache, burning c scar, stabbing pain in ovaries, as well deep in my lady bits and feeling exhausted...pain killers aren't touching the sides. And I know it is going to get a lot worse as it turns into my period. Am on cerazette (am on week 3/4) and this is the second cycle I have had on it. I have not had a diagnosis (although I feel sure I have endo). I have another 2 months til next consultant's appointment, but last one was with his assistant who told me I couldn't have it as I don't have pain when having sex (this is not true, I do but not every time). She made me feel like I was exaggerating and a hyperchondriac. Sorry to ramble on, just so fed up...I have four children and really struggling to cope.

Posts Tagged 'st francis tunic'
Smock is done… pictures and a more detailed writeup forthcoming. It looks great, fits great. I'm going to display it at Ice Dragon, so there will be documentation available within the next month or so.
Hosen are done, too. They fit VERY snugly in the foot but that's OK. I think I fitted the bottom seam in the toe area differently on the two socks, too… I'll have to go back and see and maybe I can figure out what I did.
Veil is halfway hemmed. I still don't like doing rolled hems, but I am getting faster at them.
I've got the St. Francis smock completely assembled, and all the seams finished. I was working on it at Textile Guild Tuesday night and there was some discussion of how it differs from a "conventional" tunic… so I decided to write up my answers to those question in a more formal way.
Like the conventional "accurate" SCA tunic (for which my usual source is Marc Carlson's "Some Clothing of the Middle Ages") the St. Francis tunic (article and carbon dating info are here), the St. Francis tunic is made up of geometric shapes – in this case, just rectangles and triangles. I'm no good at turning three dimensional garments into two-dimensional representations, but here's what you're looking at in the picture:
- Rectangular body panels
- Triangular skirt gussets that come almost to the shoulder seam
- Rectangular sleeves
- Triangular sleeve gussets
I assembled it by first sewing and finishing the shoulder seams, then doing the neckline. (I find it much easier to do necklines when the garment is still flat, even when I'm sewing by hand.) I put the sleeves together and finished those seams (but not the cuffs). Then I put the skirt gores on, leaving the seams unfinished, and attached the completed sleeves. Figuring out how to finish those seams was as much a jigsaw puzzle as it ever is and I didn't do the two sides in the same way but they got done.
Between the two sets of gussets, there's plenty of give in the chest and armpit. In fact, the general shape is just right for 13th century gowns.
The St. Francis smock is coming together really quickly. While at Kingdom Twelfth
Night on Saturday I completely finished one sleeve (seams and seam finishes) and got the other seamed. Finished that off on Sunday; last night I sewed the shoulder seams and cut & finished the neckline. Tonight I got two gores attached to the body panels and started on a third. I'm really itching to see how the join of the gores/body/sleeve goes but I need to get alll 4 gores attached before I set the sleeves, because the gores are so much easier to do while the garment is still two-dimensional. After I get the smock all finished and the second sock made, my part of the sewing for my elevation clothes will be done (Eilis is making my outer layers.)
In other news, the reason I trekked down to PA for Twelfth Night was that I stepped up as Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences on Saturday. Should be a whole new adventure, this Kingdom Officer gig.
Why did I decide it was a good idea to sew something on a completely new layout for my elevation? BECAUSE I'M CRAZY THAT'S WHY.
Actually, I don't think the St. Francis style tunic is going to be any more fiddly than the Nockert Type 1 that I usually do; if anything it might be less so.
Needless to say I didn't get the smock cut out to take with us as we went traveling over the holidays. But I'm taking it with me to work on at 12th Night this weekend.

Drawing on the tones of artists such as David Bowie, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Super Furry Animals, The Kinks, Blur and Supergrass, De Novo Dahl debuted in the fall of 2001.
The Nashville based 6-piece features Mark Bond on keyboards and lead vocals, Joel McAnulty on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Sandy Sandidge on lead guitar, bassist David Carney, all-around good time vocalist/omnichordist Serai Zaffiro and drummer Joey Andrews.
De Novo Dahl's live shows are always fun-filled and frequently feature themed outfits, audience participation and special events.
From an interview in Murfreesboro's Sidelines: The band has played some pretty random gigs - they've thrown a beach party, hosted an ice cream social and served the audience a spaghetti dinner while playing a rock concert. And, recently, while touring in New York, the group wore hot pink daisy duke-style jumpsuits. This costume theme is apparently prevalent at any given De Novo Dahl show. "Our craziest show would probably have to be at the Muse in Nashville," Andrews said. "It was our first show with the full band as it is now, and we totally screwed around. We all dressed up in different attire. Carney as a pilot, I as an African tribesman, Derek as a street cone, Mark wore egg crate foam, Joel as a wild man and Serai in drag. Mark, Joel, and I played our own instruments while the rest played cowbell, tambourine and electronic drums."
All dressing-up aside, the band recently enlisted the services of award-winning producer David Zaffiro as well as Jason Lehning, producer of David Mead and The Bees to record their self-titled EP. The resulting recording provides a snapshot into De Novo Dahl's passion for infectious, quirky, intellectual pop. De Novo Dahl was released in May, 2003.
"Waiting For My Friends" is an example of De Novo Dahl's fondness for pure pop - incorporating a strong guitar presence and upbeat keyboards with angelic harmony and an inspiring lyric.
"Memphis", a slower, pensive yet sharply written tune, focuses on the drowning of Jeff Buckley and a personal pilgrimage to the site by the writer. Jason Wilkins of Nashville entertainment weekly The Rage says about "Memphis", "a splendidly beautiful homage to Jeff Buckley that is touching without being smarmy."
Recent De Novo Dahl shows of note include performances at Athfest, Dancin' In the District, 2NMC, NEMO and Uptown Mix as well as supporting such acts as Wilco, Archer Prewitt (of Sea & Cake), VHS or Beta, Blues Traveler, David Mead, Mike Viola (of the Candy Butchers), International Orange, I Am the World Trade Center, P.U.S.A. and The Features.
6 songwriters. 4 vocalists. 1 sound.
A heck of a lot of instruments.

In may 2015, the Coordination Committee of the EFFE – Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe informed the organisers of the International Festival of the Historic and Military Films about including our this year edition (the VI edition of the IFH&MF) to the EFFE European Platform. It happened because a Group of Experts and the International Jury of EFFE highly evaluated the artistic level and the values of the Programme of the IFH&MF.
Similiar distinctions were received by projects from 32 European countries, for creativity which encourage the social development, thanks to which Europe becomes the continent better to live in.
From now on, the information about the IFH&MF, together with information concerning other cultural iniciatives belonging to the European Union Project willl be published on a special Platform of the EFFE. Thanks to this, all the bilateral and multilateral coontacts and cooperation between festivals of the continent will bercome easier and all the information about new iniciatives included to the EFFE will become easier and better accessed by the festivals public, artists and their organisations and groups, orcherstras, theatres, dance groups, but also by authorities of different levels, sponsors, private firms and medias. The 32 European projects included to the EFFE will be easily recognizable by this sign.
EFFE was created in the season 2014/2015 as a pilot-project of the European Coimmissiom for the European Festival Platform which acts in the field of cultural iniciatites in the framework of of EFA (European Festivals Federation). It is a kind of organisational umbrella which unites festivals from all Europe (and not only Europe). Poland joined this programme officialy in the season 2015/2016.

gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.

Could you implement a flashlight in the next version?
Tremulous does not need a flashlight. The maps are intended to be bright enough as is. If Tremulous seems dark for you try adjusting the "Brightness" control in the menu. The use of lighting as a multiplayer gameplay mechanic is foolish as it is very difficult to guarantee consistency across hardware platforms and nigh on impossible to protect against trivial exploits.
Isn't Tremulous just a copy of Natural Selection?
No. Development on Tremulous began long before NS was in the public domain. If Tremulous is inspired by anything, it is inspired by Gloom for Quake 2. NS has a similar ancestry (please see Game Developer Magazine February 2001 issue); this is probably where the confusion arises.
Where is the Mac version?
tjw has put together an unofficial Mac build. See this thread for details.
So wait, Tremulous is free?
Tremulous is based upon the GPL source release of the Quake 3 game engine. As a result the Tremulous code is also licensed under the GPL. This means that not only is Tremulous free in terms of monetary value, it is also free in the sense that you are free to use and examine it.
Does Tremulous have bots?
No. Programming bots for a game as complex as Tremulous is not a trivial task. The aliens in particular are extremely varied in their abilities and as such would each require a significant proportion of class specific AI. It is by no means impossible, but it is potentially extremely time consuming for questionable real world gain. Of course, given the open source nature of Tremulous, there is nothing stopping a third party implementing bots.
Do you have an IRC channel?
Yes, #tremulous on the Freenode network (chat.freenode.net).
How do I make maps for Tremulous?
A good place to start would be the Tremulous Mapping Wiki which has information on how to get setup. Further queries may also be directed to the Tremulous Mapping forum.

If one wishes to live in the United States, a Visa is required. One option is the so called "O-1" Visa category, which is useful for highly talented or acclaimed foreign individuals.
The O-1 Visa is especially helpful to artists, athletes, entertainers, and business persons without professional degrees. It encompasses scientists and educators as well. Furthermore, O-1 Visas are not subject to an annual cap. O-1 Visa beneficiaries in the sciences, arts, business or athletics, must have extraordinary ability "demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim." "Extraordinary ability" means "a level of expertise indicating that the person is one of the small percentages who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor." This can be proven by providing evidence either of the beneficiary's receipt of a major internationally recognized award, such as the Nobel Prize, or documentation of at least three of the following:
To provide additional flexibility, the law allows the petitioner to submit comparable evidence of eligibility. The key to success in obtaining an O-1 visa lies in defining the field of endeavor in which the individual has risen to the top. It is easier to prove that someone has achieved the pinnacle of a very narrowly defined field with a select membership than a general one ("professor of quantum mathematics v. mathematics professor).The burden of proof for "extraordinary ability" is lowered for artists and entertainers. Generally, the artists and entertainers must be very successful, and show the high level of achievement in the field of art. In short, one must be very prominent and renowned.Artists and entertainers entering in connection with motion picture or television productions are subject to yet another definition of "extraordinary achievement". In general, the artists and entertainers must be encountered to the extend that the person must be recognized as "outstanding", "notable", or "leading" in the motion picture or television field.The O-1 category is another of many alternatives to live and work in the United States.This article contains only general information and does not substitute for legal advice in a particular case.

Heartwarming and beloved by viewers, Little Women Terra's Little Family, the spinoff to Little Women LA, returns for its second season March 23 at 10 p.m. ET on Lifetime. Terra and Joe, now married, navigate their first year of parenthood to their little girl Penelope. We've created a guide for you to watch Little Women Terra's Little Family online!
You don't need to have live TV or track down websites that will let you watch Little Women Terra's Little Family full episodes because we've collected all the destinations for you – and guess what, you certainly don't need cable! Check out the options below.
Watch Little Women Terra's Little Family Online with Sling TV
Sling TV is the best option for Little Women Terra's Little Family streaming, as well as streaming of dozens of your other favorite shows from various channels! Sling TV offers a ton of popular cable channels as a live stream, including Lifetime.
This basic package is $20 a month and includes ESPN, AMC, TNT, A&E, TBS, and Freeform (formerly known as ABC Family), among others. It's much, much cheaper than you'd pay for a cable package for these kinds of channels, and there's no contract required. You can cancel at any time. Sling TV includes both the live streaming and a selection of on-demand episodes, so you can watch Little Women Terra's Little Family online any way you want.
Sling TV is offering a free 7-day trial, a great way to test out the service for Little Women Terra's Little Family streaming, not to mention the other shows and channels they have on hand. You can stream to almost any device out there. More importantly, Sling TV is currently offering an amazing deal for new users. Sign up for three months of the service and Sling TV will give you a free Roku 2! The Roku 2 streaming media player retails for $69.99 but comes free with your Sling TV three-month package. That means three months of streaming TV on top of the Roku 2 for just $60 total.
CNET has said, "The Roku 2 is just as fast as the Roku 3 and its lower price makes it a better overall value."
Or, if you want to get the Roku 3 instead, you can get a full 50% off the price of the Roku 3 with your three months of Sling.

Other Legal Ways to Watch Little Women Terra's Little Family Online
Sling TV is the best all-access option because it includes so many other channels and a live stream for one low price. But never fear, there are other ways to watch Little Women Terra's Little Family online, and we are going to list them all below!
- Amazon Instant Video: Amazon Instant has new episodes of Little Women Terra's Little Family available a day after air date. There's no access to Little Women Terra's Little Family streaming live, but this is a good option if you just want to watch a couple of episodes. Each episode is about $2, and you keep the episodes forever. A better deal is going with the season pass, which gets you the entire season and will automatically add new episodes to your account as they become available.
- Vudu: Vudu offers Little Women Terra's Little Family streaming for the same price, $2-$3 per episode. Episodes are released a day or two after air date. Vudu has an option as well to buy the entire season, which is a lower cost than buying each episode on its own.
- iTunes: Another possibility here is iTunes. Very similar to Amazon Instant and Vudu, episodes cost around $3 and are released a day or two after air date. It really depends on which platform you're most comfortable with.
Keep in mind that subscription services like Sling TV are overall a much better deal than these a la carte option, because you get more access than you would spending similar amounts of money buying one season of a show on Amazon, Vudu, or iTunes.
Anything Else We Can Help You With?
Need more information about how to watch Little Women Terra's Little Family online? We're happy to go into more depth! Drop us a comment below and we'll answer any questions you might have.

The broadcaster Andrew Marr has warned that anti-English feeling is still "entrenched" in Scotland and can be "toxic".
The BBC presenter, who was born in Glasgow, also said he was "very worried" about the kind of language being used in the independence debate.
He was speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival during his first public appearance since suffering a stroke.
Referring to the Glasgow author and artist Alasdair Gray's controversial visit to the book festival earlier this week, Marr – who was launching an updated version of his 1992 book The Battle for Scotland – also said he was dismayed at the use of terms like "settler and colonist".
He was backed by Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, who accused the SNP leadership of not doing enough to tackle the problem.
The SNP insisted there was no place for intolerance in Scotland.
Asked about Ukip leader Nigel Farage's complaints about suffering anti-English abuse, Marr said: "There is a very strong anti-English feeling [in Scotland], everybody knows it, there always has been.
"If you go back to the origins of the SNP, the origins of home rule, anglophobia was as well entrenched then as it is now. I don't think it is particularly serious most of the time, but it can become serious – it can become toxic."
Marr said both sides of the argument were "wrong and dangerous" to use aggressive language and terms like "traitor".
Marr said there had been "curiously little" discussion about what kind of Scotland was going to emerge after the independence vote.
He added: "I've been very worried by the tone of some of the independence debate, from people on both sides. It is getting very, very aggressive. Whatever your view about the Union, there is nobody taking part in the debate that is a traitor.
"There is nobody who deserves to be denounced and cast out and told they are not really Scottish on the basis if their views. It is wrong and dangerous because whatever happens next year you are all going to have to live together afterwards."
Marr added: "I was very struck when Nigel Farage came up to Edinburgh and got such a rough time, particularly since it was hardcore Nats who were accusing him of outrageous nationalistic sentiment. As I understand it, whatever you may think of him, he is trying to get independence for Britain from Brussels. It is not necessarily totally different from trying to get independence for Scotland from London. Your neighbour's nationalism is always toxic and xenophobic, while your nationalism is always good."
Mr Rennie said: "It is true there is an undercurrent of anti-English sentiment in Scotland. It's a minority but it exists. The leadership of the SNP do not foster that but occasionally let themselves down."
A spokesman for the SNP said: "We are happy to see that Andrew Marr's health is recovering, but we are disappointed by the picture of Scotland he has painted in his reported comments.
"It is simply wrong to suggest that aspirations for Scotland to make our own decisions are based on anything other than a desire to build a fairer, more prosperous Scotland."
A spokesman for the Yes Scotland campaign added: "Scotland has always been a welcoming and inclusive country with a large, well-established migrant community, as well as many thousands of English people who live and work here.
"One of the advantages of independence is that it will help strengthen the social union between Scotland and the other countries of these isles."
A Better Together spokesperson said: "It is easy to understand why people may think that there is anti-English feeling in Scotland when our government spends every waking hour looking for new ways to divide us from our friends, families and workmates south of the Border.
"It is important that those who are leading the debate set the tone for the debate. This means that when senior nationalists use phrases like 'cancer' to describe London, they should be condemned by their colleagues."

Hello, Frolic..ers.
Happy Friday.
It's been a week of remembering and honouring and we want to continue the respect due to those who serve...military and civilian. The question that came to my mind was...is it crossing the line to showcase these men and women in our genre, erotic/erotica?
How many times has a delivery man in tight brown shorts been used in a fantasy? How well do Firemen calendars sell? We've talked about the appeal of a person in uniform. But can those who serve fit in our genre?
Let's get to our HOT musers and see what they have to say:
and her alter-ego LILLIAN RAVENWOOD, HOT author
My first thought when I read this topic was, "Don't soldiers like to get laid too?"
My companion book to Forging Day is centered around a small military unit. I was nearly finished when I realized it was the first thing I'd written using primarily male points of view. Anyway, I wanted to get a good feel for how a close knit military group would act around each other when they weren't in front of civilians. I consulted with a few guys at my office who were in the military. I got some really good feedback on demeanor and language (he felt they weren't swearing enough). Then he shared a story with me that made me go, "Ohhhh my."
All things considered, and with feedback from someone in the military, I'm going to say it doesn't cross the line (with a disclaimer that it depends on what's happening in the erotic story. Service men and women enjoying themselves – perfectly fine. Doing the story to insult the military in general, to me would not be okay.)
I recently critiqued a romance story my cousin wrote about Navy Seals. Wonderful writing and an engaging story. The main character was handsome, sexy, and totally professional when it came down to saving the damsel in distress. And passionate when he took her!
I used a whole platoon of Army guys in one of my M/M romances. (They were a rescue team, not an orgy.) I think stories utilizing the fine men and women in uniform who serve don't cross any lines. Soldiers are people with the same needs and desires as the rest of us. Their stories can be just as poignant and relevant to write, and I must say nothing says sexy more to me than a guy with a high and tight haircut in a crisp uniform. The main thing is to write them with respect, just as with any other classification of people. Keep true to the character's beliefs and integrity, and all will be well. And hot!
The way I see it, us boys, regardless if we're in the military or most any other job except for the deity type, enjoy a good romp in the hay. So no, I don't believe we're crossing any taboo lines in our stories to show this type of connection. It's a normal human attraction and need. And I'm referring to us bachelors. I won't comment on men who are married. That's a whole different topic.
I haven't written anything revolving around the military or those who serve, but with out genre, I think the only over the line is when one writes without respect.
A character may be amoral, ruthless, even a killer, but because they wear an uniform the writer isn't necessarily referring to the organization as being amoral or ruthless. That aspect of the character is just that, an aspect.
There are many fantasies surrounding firemen. Does this mean we're crossing the line? I don't think so. To use something as a backdrop is one thing, but to use it as...say...everyone in the group participates in an orgy while a building burns or underfire, that's crossing a line. That's implying those who serve in those areas are careless and irresponsible, far from it.
Is it crossing the line to use anything/anyone military in your genre? Personally, I don't think there is a crossing line when using anything or anyone in the military in my genre. Of course, there are certain lines you don't cross, in anything. In this, I don't believe there is a line. As long as you are staying true to the reality of things/events. Example would be those CSI shows...they took ideas from actual cases in the news/police cases. Yes, they changed names and places and whatnot, but the true premise was there...the crime itself. We all know there is corruption, even if it hasn't leaked yet (yep, I'm one of those that doesn't believe the company line told to everyone, lol). As long as a writer is staying true to the REAL premise behind the person/things in the military, I don't see the harm. Now, remember, I write more toward the fantasy paranormal side of things, so my thoughts run more toward the line of creation of a world and creatures. However, my family has served in the armed forces for too many generations to count.
Thank you for dropping over, we appreciate it. Have a fun weekend and hope to you see next week.
Remember, if you have a question or anything you want us to muse about just drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com

Have you considered volunteering this year, but you are yet to make up your mind? Here at Volunteer Humane Society we could not recommend a volunteer experience more. In this article we have selected just few of the large number of fantastic reasons to apply for a volunteer position.
New Skills
Employers love taking on people with a large range of skills – Volunteers often have many. When volunteering you are often challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone, so you adapt and learn extremely quickly. You are also surrounded with other people with different skills, who can teach you new qualities and abilities, weather this is a new language, how to tie a boat knot or even how to instruct a surf lesson.
Make A Difference
Volunteering allows you to try and make a difference, weather this is in your local youth group, town, or even a foreign country abroad. It lets you be a part of something bigger than you and use your kind heart and responsibility for the world to create a difference and change for the better.
Your Career
Proof that you have taken time to volunteer is hugely attractive to future employers and a fantastic way to boost your career. It makes a brilliant impression and suggests you are original, resourceful and up for a challenge.
Each volunteer experience is different, so the position you apply for will depend on your skill set, attributes and what you want to give and gain from the experience. But one thing is for sure, there are so many great reasons to give it a go and push yourself from your comfort zone and at the same time benefit another person and the world.

The goal of this study is to diagnose and follow patients with disorders of movement control. Patients participating in this study will undergo routine laboratory tests and examinations in order to monitor their condition.
Doctors at the NIH will work in cooperation with each patient's primary care physician. There will be no use of investigational treatments in this study.<TAB>
|Condition or disease
|Nervous System Disease
This protocol is a screening protocol, which allows for evaluation of patients and families where neurological conditions are present for enrollment into other studies. It is also a teaching and training instrument for the MNB fellows, allowing them to gain expertise in the evaluation and treatment of patients. Finally, it will be used to screen healthy volunteers to create a pool of potential future HV matches for HMCS protocols.
Study population:
The following population groups may participate:
- Subjects with neurological disorders who are 2 years old or older,
- Family members who are 2 years old or older of people with a neurological disorder
- Healthy volunteers who are 18 years old or older.
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees (other than those employed by HMCS in NINDS) may participate.
The goal is to screen patients with neurological conditions and family members of patients with neurological conditions for enrollment in additional research protocols. No investigational treatments will be administered on this protocol and the NIH physicians will be playing a consultative role to the patient s primary physician.
We will also screen healthy volunteers to create a pool of potential future HV matches for other HMCS protocols.
Outcome measures:

Yeah you could say that. A lot of the former members either went to work on the Lightspire and Casus Belli mod teams.
I am the producer for the Petrograd Mod; I also handle PR for the Space Cowboys development group.
Yeah you could say that. A lot of the former members either went to work on the Lightspire and Casus Belli mod teams.
I don't think it's dead, but a lot of the team (including myself) left the mod back in September.
Very Nice!
Looks good SirBaron! It kind of reminds me of the mod I'm working on right now...
As a CryEngine modder myself (Petrograd), I wish you the best of luck!
Me neither! I can't wait till we finish it and you guys get to play it!
lol yes we have a lot of guys from Sweden on the team ;-p
Yep, all those people listed ^^ are active in the mod right now.
Thanks for all the support Tokoya; it really means a lot to us!
Thanks for the positive comments! We appreciate it!
No, very much alive ;-p We posted a new update for August 2009 today actually.
We have our own Vegetation Artists (Rex Mcnish and Jared Robertson), but early on we used trees from the European Nature set by michi:be
We'll take that under consideration. Thanks for asking about it.
Petrograd team uses Skype for communication, and SVN/Trac system for files.
Nice update!
Ninjadave, it's not necessarily the texture of the grass that causes performance issues, it's the geometry and the physics. Remember this is CryEngine we're talking about.
That environment is actually very WIP (as you can see the ground is quite barren). I may not even include this in the final release, but I always like to show off what I'm working on just to give you guys an idea of all of the things we're considering implementing.
Wow you really like to nitpick lol!
To answer your questions/comments though:
The enemy grunt models are being re-worked right now (see the last news update). The cloth bumpmap you see there is on an old build. And no, the face doesn't have that bumpmap lol!
The soldier may be unarmed, or maybe not. It will make more sense when you play it ;-)
As for the textures - the grass is probably being rendered as a sprite in that image (we're trying to make Petrograd actually *playable* on low-end computers so yeah you will see some performance optimizations like that every once in a while).
Ninjadave, I think you forget that this is a MOD right now, our team is all made up of volunteers, nobody is being paid to work on it. So if it's not 'perfect' like you want it to be, I'm sorry lol. We try, but modding Crysis is a lot more complex than making a mod for Unreal or Source - the level of detail required can be daunting.
Yeah I get what you're saying. It is in the same sort of setting as STALKER (i.e. east europe/russia) so we get that comparison a lot...but Petrograd will more of an action game than STALKER was.
lol I know it took awhile, but it was worth it don't you think? ;-p
Thanks for the support!
haha well you know - we like to throw little 'Easter eggs' in every once in awhile. ;-p
Most of the stuff is pretty easy to do. What I'd like to know is how to get a super customized page like Dystopia has:
I mean that doesn't even look like a normal ModDB mod profile.
We're working on it. Is there anything in particular you want to see in the next update?
Good Luck! I'm looking forward to it ;-)

On average, a homeowner will spend at least five thousand on each room during a home renovation. So, if a home has eight rooms, forty thousand might be spent improving it. At this point, it might be best just to move. But this is not a good option because, after someone moves, they spend more money improving the new home. What are the best ways to make a home look stylish without spending a fortune?
A good tip is to make sure the home is neat, tidy and clean. It is a good idea to get rid of the clutter and tidy the place up. As well as this, it is important not to forget the basic rule of cleaning. A person should always clean from top to bottom. That means, start off cleaning and dusting the top shelves in a room and work downwards. Vacuuming should be left until last to get rid of the dust that has been pushed onto the floor.
A room will look more presentable if there is less clutter, and a minimalist design concept could be used. This is often seen in show houses or decor magazines. The minimalist design just means that the least amount of furniture is used to style the room. Ideally, the only furniture present should be what a nuclear family needs. This typically consists of four people so there would only be four places in the living room. Adding knick knacks and lots of ornaments should also be avoided. Rooms should be kept as a clear space.
Finally, when cleaning the rooms, scented products should be used. This will make the entire home smell lovely. It is particularly recommended that this is done in the kitchen and bathroom.
Cheap Renovation
Of course, it's possible that the overall sought out design effect can not be claimed by simple fixes to the home. There is no choice but to move forward with a renovation project. If that's the case, an owner might feel that they are tied into spending a fortune but this is not always the case. Instead, an owner can implement these cost cutting measures.
The first step to take is to set a budget. Renovation projects often grow out of control, so it is important to know exactly how much is going to be spent. It might also be wise to focus on a couple of rooms that need attention, rather than the entire house. Popular rooms are often the kitchen and the bathroom, but these are usually quite expensive.
When deciding how to complete the renovation a homeowner will need to decide whether or not to hire outside help. If it is a big job, it will typically require hiring both designers and builders to complete the project. But, there are some jobs and tasks that can be completed through DIY. For instance, many homeowners have no issue painting a room without outside help.
When hiring services, it is important to shop around for the best price and look for a company that has good reviews. Almost every business site online will have been reviewed by some people. It's wise to rely on other experiences of a company before deciding whether to hire.
Don't Renovate, Redecorate
That said, there are ways to avoid the need for such an expensive renovation project. Instead, a redesign of the home can be completed. This usually involves buying new furniture and accessories for the home after it has been completed. It might also include small DIY projects such as room painting. Some homeowners do begin this approach by hiring an interior designer. These experts will tell them exactly what they need to do to improve their home as well as tips on saving costs. Others save on costs straight away by either looking at blogs for design ideas. Or, they take inspiration from their neighbor's or friend's homes.
When redecorating, it's still a smart idea to choose a fixed budget. That way money will not be lost on a project that grows out of control.
When looking for new furniture, it's a good idea to choose pieces that match the rest of the decor. This includes both the colour and the style. Nantucket Slipcovered sofas will certainly look stunning in a newly designed front room. Don't forget, it's also possible to buy small accessories that accentuate the best features of a room. A coffee table won't clutter a room, but it will center it and make it a perfect place to encourage discursive conversation.
Homeowners may also wish to consider small design projects that they can complete without any purchases. A great way to style a home is to use family craft ideas. These can still look stylish while also making a house feel like a home. One idea is to create a family collage. Pictures from family holidays and put up on a wall in a home. It's a great way of saving on costs and still getting a stylish piece of decor.
Of course, it is also possible to find stylish designer accessories online. Make sure to shop around for the best price. If homeowners likes a particular store, they should buy lots of pieces of furniture from the same place. That way, the decor will not clash from room to room.
Remember little things can have big effects on a space. A room painted a bright colour will look bigger and a darker one, smaller. This is due to the amount of shadows present in the room. It is possible to make a small room to look like a larger open space if painted cream and styled in a minimalist way. However, bright colors reflect heat so the room might be colder, even in the summer.
It seems clear then, that it is unnecessary to spend a fortune styling a home. By applying these tips, it is possible for a house to look stunning without wasting a lot of money. This is true whether the owner is renovating or just redecorating.

eGrove systems offers AngularJS development services, which is a great JavaScript framework, embedded with compelling features enabling both developers and designers to create diverse web applications.
AngularJS is a structural framework for facilitating dynamic web apps. Our AngularJS development services enable you to use HTML as your template language and allow you to extend HTML's syntax to convey your application's components precisely and concisely. Also, our AngularJS's data binding and dependency injection get rid of much of the code you would otherwise need to write.
We render this framework that is really very helpful to developers through the entire process of building an application. We extend our fruitful AngularJS services right from designing the UI, through writing the business logic, to final testing to your utmost satisfaction.
Our team of expert professionals assists you in AngularJS that is a new, dynamic, client-side technology and guiding you through accomplishing really powerful aspects in a manner that embraces and extends HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, at the same time sorting out some of its conspicuous deficiencies.
Two Way Data-Binding
Data-binding is perhaps the coolest and most helpful feature that we render to clients in AngularJS because it will enable you to avoid writing a considerable amount of code. A typical web application can contain up to 80% of its code base, built up for traversing, manipulating, and responding to the DOM. Our Data-binding initiatives will make this code disappear so that you can pay attention to your application.
It is vital to know that at no point the AngularJS manipulates` the template as strings, but it is done by the browser DOM. In AngularJS, a template is just plain-old-HTML and egrove systems render services in extending the HTML vocabulary, in order to contain the instructions as to how the model ought to be projected into the view.
One of the greatest edges to this approach is that it enables a tight workflow between designers and developers of an application. Designers can mark up their HTML as they do normally and then the developers take on and hook in functionality through bindings without much effort.
The above-mentioned features are vital not only for getting up and running with AngularJS but also integrating your application together in such a manner that is maintainable and extensible. AngularJS is an efficient tool set for developing the framework most suited to varied application development. AngularJS is fully extensible and functions well with other libraries. Moreover, every feature of the tool can be modified or replaced to suit your distinctive development workflow and feature requirements.
Fantastic!! I have gone through this process several times with your team and my previous programmer in the past year or two. Your teams have been much better than my last programmer and I've always been happy with the final project. I have to say, this particular project has been a very smooth one, every step of the way!
I would like to thank you (eGrove systems) and your team for persisting with it and getting it over the line. Due to the complexity of design a room it led to many delays. This is without a doubt, the longest project i have ever had on for a client – and i am really happy it is finally over! So thanks for your work.
We are a professional AngularJS development services providing organization and have been able to access wide acclaim among clients through extending our array of immaculate AngularJS services in a highly satisfied and time bound manner. Moreover, our efficient team of professionals holds wide expertise in offering these services.
