Hey everyone! I can now finally present a new version of the UT Community SDK. After weeks and months of delay I finally got together what I wanted to. The road to success had so many obstacles in especially the last few weeks. One bug was removed another popped up!
But now I can deliver the first release with a testing environment. Yes... no simple framework without any possibility to test things anymore! When you remember the news post back in November 2012 I was still trying to some stuff ... well I think the majority of these features really made it into the release.
Since this is a huge leap forward, because it's the first release to actively show what can be done, I suggest you make yourself familiar with the possibility to discuss, bug hunt or report about whatever concerns the UTSDK at the forums of ut99.org!
UT Community SDK - January Beta (Build 500 / no Setup) - Setup Download coming next Days. Highlights: Bounding Volume / dynamic Per Poly Collision Support...
This month's release comes with a huge update for the Material System adding new Materials like TexRotators and TexEnvMaps! On the other hand I implemented...
Starting the new year for the SDK with a bunch of new features and improvements: The next new and fresh release of the Unreal Tournament Community SDK...
Fixes a strange critical error when adding a StaticMesh Actor to the map. The error was caused by mismanaged texture arrays. Simply copy "sdkEngine.dll...
So finally here it is. The next new and fresh release of the Unreal Tournament Community SDK. Originally there should've been a November release but according...
The Release of the UTSDK October Beta! (Build 271)
Shadow..curious..have you received either of the two emails I sent you using address on your personal page?
Nope, that email is inactive and I can't log in there. You should try ut99.org, there could be more persons interested in your stuff than just me!
lol..well that makes sense now!
Yeah have posted at ut99.org but for different help..needed assistance writing .int-s for some of the old muts still have.
Need wade through what have before know what need!
Would you prefer I look elsewhere? I would rather just have one modder working on project since I suspect gonna be some back and forth contact until final packages are complete.
My email is current if want info.. otherwise let me know here if I barking up wrong tree.
Thanks Shadow
w/w/w.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1359708573 I was starting a discussion about shadows.
the SDK forum in 2008 you showed projected shadows. Why projected shadows are not now in version 500 in your HUB.Your effect not work without sdkOpengl. New Effects are hardware? How I must have graphics card? OpenGL 2.0 or 3.0 or 1.0? (VooDoo5? .. :) ..)
your SDK is open source. Somebody use for Deus Ex and Rune, where are public headers. Right?
AGAIN, and again, and yet again: I was saying, that I can't make it to include all feature presentations at once with only one release. It's even stated in the documentation files!
Yes, the projector systems needs some refactoring, but there is already a class called ShadowProjector. There's even a tutorial on how to use it.
All current effects use OpenGL 1.4, I doubt it's above it.
AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN: this is an Unreal Tournament mod, not for Deus Ex, not for Rune, not for XCom, not for Wheel of Time. I said in the past, that it might be possible to port this on other unreal engine games, but it makes no sense to port something that isn't finished yet.
//edit: and I personally doubt, that a discussion about dynamic shadows would benefit the SDK in any way.
Have you tried the projector? It does not work..
SDK will be use only with public headers..(only Rune,Deus ex)
discussion about dynamic shadows isnt benefit for SDK, but..:)
Hello to any and all UT99 lovers!
Have a request to anyone that knows how to make mutators either using the SDK here or the old school tools for UT99
My clan disbanded many years ago and we stupidly deleted out clan mutator files.
Well we really want to relive the old days and play again online but require a new set of muts.
Could I interest any of you modders/coders out there in creating us some?
Would need -- according to our specs
Spawn Protection
Sniper Rifle
and a scoring mutator
Perhaps one other may pop up as we discuss what we require.
Not a wealthy chap myself..but would be willing to pay for someones time.
Any questions?
My email is
Hm interesting. Although this is not the correct place to discuss that, I'm interested. Besides, there is already a good spawn protection mutator included in the Mod ChaosUT.
For the other stuff (sniper, translocator) I would simply need more specification. You would really pay for that work? That surprises me!
If this is in reply to my email to you shadow then yes.
Your time or anyone else is valuable to you..getting exactly what I want is valuable to me.
Reply to me by email if interested and I will work up a detail of my needs
Highest Rated (5 agree) 10/10
Epic Games would be proud. It is too bad it isn't ocmpatible with Unreal Engine 2, and it is also too bad that the Unreal Engines don't stack. Imagine playing the first Unreal with this mod and with Unreal Engine 3.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Clippers are reportedly eyeing former Magic coach, Stan Van Gundy. Vinny Del Negro insisted before a recent loss in Dallas that he has "a great future no matter what." The signals are nonetheless getting louder and louder that said future won't be at Staples Center, with Del Negro working on a flimsy one-year extension and L.A. looking nothing like the team — whether that's due to health woes, locker-room fissures or coaching issues — that won 17 straight games in December.

All The News That's Fit To Click
In 2012, the audience of news websites increased by 7.2 percent, according to the State of the News Media 2013 Report. Even though digital news growth has been impressive, it has slowed down in comparison to 2011. Cable TV is the only other news channel that saw an audience increase last year, rising just 0.8 percent.
This represents a very weak performance for "a presidential election year, which in the past has played to cable's strengths", a point noted in the report. The biggest news loser in 2012 is local TV with a 6.5 percent audience decrease, followed by network TV which fell 1.9 percent. Newspaper and magazine audiences made no gains on their 2011 levels.

Testimony begins in trial of father who prayed instead of geting help for dying daughter
Testimony begins today in the Wausau trial of Dale Neumann, who's accused of praying instead of calling a doctor for her dying 11-year-old daughter.
Neumann's wife Leilani will be among the prosecution's first witnesses.
She was convicted two months ago on the same felony charge her 47-year-old husband faces, second-degree reckless homicide.
The jury heard opening arguments in Dale's trial on Saturday.

Our Greyhound was professionally looked after and her needs as a slightlety nervous Greyhound were met. I was pleased to hear that she enjoyed socialising with the other Greyhounds. I can tell that she enjoyed her stay at the kennels as she arrived home happy and relaxed. My thanks as always go to Mary who has such a lovely report with our Grey and to Kayleigh who seemed to totally understand our dogs needs. Many thanks to all the Staff.

There are so many examples throughout history of things that were, in retrospect, unconscionable, but that were unrecognized at the time. I often think about what practices we are currently engaged in that will be judged by future generations as absurd or morally wrong or just plain sick. But its difficult, because, of course, we can only see with the moral and historical perspective that currently exists. Hindsight isn't possible in the present. What do you think? What is the worst thing about now that we accept as common, everyday practice?
I was talking with
recently, and he suggested that our food delivery system is probably the most accepted, but most morally corrupt thing in our modern world. I can't disagree. This question bothers me a lot, however, so I am very curious for any thoughts.I like the idea... :) http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/38827...
On a lighter note, perhaps they will find it quaint (or horrifying) that people used to drive their own cars. Maybe one day I'll tell my grandchildren of a time when huge box-like machines rushed by each other on massive expanses of concrete, separated only by painted white lines and contained by crude metal guard rails, killing a million people a year in fiery collisions caused by human error. Additionally, they ran on fossil fuels and pumped out poisonous gases from the rear. Almost everyone owned one!
No-liability ownership of imaginary legal properties called corporations required to compete with each other for growing profits by chewing up resources at a rate that's created the greatest mass extinction since the Cretaceous period. Pollution from industrial processes that threatens entire oceans and the climate of the whole planet. Sweatshops populated by people working around the clock for starvation wages who churn out disposable, meaningless, goods which we end up burying in the ground after a few days or years. Middle class debt slaves running around and around in a rat race to avoid bankruptcy. Colonization, warfare, and coerced "free trade" treaties to force the system on everyone on the planet and create bigger markets. Our economics has to be the most depraved thing to come out of the Enlightenment.
Also, spacefaring. People saying humans should "spend the money down here", as if we were not already part of the universe, makes me nuts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale And guns. People say "sometimes, war is the only way." I have a gut feeling that's just not true. If you have to resort to violence, even through intimidation, then you're not resolving a conflict, you're imposing a solution. I don't think this method has a long-term duration. http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_van_uhm_why_i_chose_a_gun.htm...
Anyways, to give a couple of answers to your question What do you think? What is the worst thing about now that we accept as common, everyday practice? 1. "Can you believe they didn't know how to prevent all cancers and that they used to irradiate the body to treat cancer?... even HEALTHY cells"? 2. "Can you believe they used to only have 2 parties and that money played a role in politics"? 3. "Can you believe that Hockey wasn't the most popular spot in the United States"? 4. "Can you believe that people were called "minorities" based on things such as sexual preference, skin color, and ethnicity? 5. "What was cash? Why didn't people just use their credit ring?" -That ones for you 6. "Intelligent design? WTF was that all about" Panel, if any of these things come to pass... you'll hear about it on wait, wait don't tell me, the NPR news quiz. ;) That was fun.
I get the lure of meat. Thing tastes fucking good! I didn't become a vegetarian on my own account. Most of it was because of my girlfriend. Sometimes it was hard - not like detoxing in Trainspotting (http://youtu.be/OaSuSnUJm3E), jesus, no - but it was a hard habit to break. Only after I cut down on red meat, I realized how the goddamn thing is everywhere and how it comprised most of the food on my plate. So, if I may, I don't think you're addicted, I think it may just be the habit. "Custom is the great guide to human life." -- David Hume
Although it's already controversial, I can imagine that unmanned drones killing people will not be judged by history very well. In fact, the act of nations waging war altogether looks less and less reasonable when we can have conversations like this one with people from all over the world. Wars are becoming more ridiculous but no less tragic. Unfortunately we in the US are not a nation at war. Our nation is doing some war, but I couldn't personally tell you how well or badly it's going from my own experience. Drones help take that to an extreme, and that's why I think they will be judged poorly. Aside from factory farming, I have to look at the urban ghettos in the US that are almost completely ignored by middle class and upper class society. So much that goes with this, especially the racial disparity and incarceration rates, this is going to be judged with horror. Look at the public schools in Detroit Michigan. IMO the mindset of slavery is alive in the US. It will be asked how something like that could occur in the 'wealthiest nation' without a genuine moral deficit.

Home > Taxes >
Believe it or not, more than half of the 24 million-plus tax filers in Canada are entitled to a refund if past experience is any indication. In 2002 and 2003, about 14.7 million of the 24 million tax filers received a refund, according to the Canada Revenue Agency. The average refund was just shy of $1,200.
Rather than blow the expected windfall on a trip or an iPod, financial advisors say there are ways to spend your refund that will improve your financial picture.
Chris Gordon, an investment adviser at Edward Jones, in Mississauga, Ontario, says "having extra cash is a good trigger to think about strategies for putting money to work for things that are important to you."
Adrian Mastracci, a fee-only investment counsellor at KCM Wealth Management, in Vancouver, says the "biggest bang for your buck is to pay off credit card debt."
If you're in a 40-percent tax bracket and have an outstanding balance on a card that charges 10 percent interest, you have to earn about $16.60 just to pay every $10 of interest debt. If the card charges 20 percent, you'd have to earn $33 to pay $20 of interest debt.
If your credit card is clean, Mastracci says look at your lines of credit, car loans or mortgage. "Anything that's not tax-deductible would certainly be a good place to put some money into."
Gordon says "paying down a mortgage is one option, even if the mortgage interest rate is low." That's because the interest charges over the long-term add up.
For example, the Bankrate.ca mortgage calculator, shows that if you have a $150,000 mortgage balance today at 5 percent over 25 years, your monthly payment will be $872.41. The amount of interest paid during that time is $111,722.24, about $372.41 a month.
If you applied a $1,200 tax refund to your mortgage in May of every year, you would pay off your mortgage almost five years ahead of schedule, saving $23,811.26 in interest and free up your cash flow.
Even a one-time $1,200 payment shaves almost four months off your mortgage. "It becomes a good investment in the long term," says Gordon.
Invest for the futureIf you don't have a high debt load, think about ways to invest your refund, suggests Laurie Stephenson, a certified financial planner at Freedom 55 Financial in Halifax.
Consider contributing the money to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan now instead of waiting 'til next March. "Lots of people leave it 'til the last minute. It's an opportunity for the money to be working for you all year," says Stephenson.
The $1,200 could also go into a spousal RRSP plan, she notes, which can help split income in retirement. "You need to sit down with somebody and have a look at planning in the year ahead."
Gordon adds that the tax refund could also be used to pay off unused RRSP contribution room. Canadians have billions of dollars in RRSP contribution room building up.
Stephenson says parents might want to consider putting their tax refund into a Registered Education Savings Plan for their kids. "If you drop it into an RESP, you will immediately get a 20-percent grant from the government."
Known as the Canada Education Savings Grant, it provides up to $400 a year for those who make the maximum $2,000 annual contribution. A $1,200 contribution will generate $240, a 20 percent return, which is stellar in today's markets.
An alternative would be to use the tax refund to start an unregistered investment account. By investing outside of your RRSP, you can take advantage of the low capital gains tax. Investors who have a capital gain outside of their RRSP will only pay tax on 50 percent of that gain. "If you haven't got any RRSP room, it's nice to have some non-registered investments," says Stephenson.
Plan for a rainy dayMastracci says another option for a tax refund is to put something away for a rainy day. "People don't really have much in their emergency funds." However, he says, make sure the emergency fund is held at a different institution from the one holding your loans in case you need to access it quickly. You don't want the bank laying claim to it to cover your debts if something bad happens.
He adds that you can also make a charitable donation and get a tax receipt that can be used to generate a refund next year.
If you are getting a tax refund, Gordon says you might want to reconsider the way you manage your tax payments. A refund means you have overpaid your taxes and that's essentially an interest-free loan to the government.
He says you can fill out a Canada Revenue Agency T1213 form, asking the government to allow your employer to reduce the amount of taxes taken off your pay. That way, you will have the money in your hands sooner.
While it's important to be disciplined in your finances, Mastracci says you also need to have some fun in life. "Put some of that refund into improving yourself." Take a cooking class or buy yourself something special. "Expand the horizon a little more for yourself. I think there's some value to saying, 'Maybe I'll do something for me.'"

TCV launches Natural Talent UK traineeships across the UK
7 October 2014
Having secured funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, national charity The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) will be launching their UK-wide Natural Talent programme this Friday 10th October where they will deliver 12 new Natural Talent traineeships throughout the UK over the next two years. Oxford Traineeship
The Natural Talent UK traineeship programme aims to increase expertise across the whole of the UK to protect our less well known species and create awareness of the habitats that support them. TCVs Natural Talent UK scheme follows on from the very successful Natural Talent Apprenticeship programme that has delivered 44 apprenticeships since 2006 and was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

A lesson from the past: Greenhouse gas release caused 40°C ocean
11 September 2014
A rapid rise in greenhouse gases around 56 million years ago resulted in sea surface temperatures as high as 40°C with significant impacts on marine life, according to new research published in the September edition of the scientific journal Geology.
The period, known as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), lasted for around 170,000 years and saw the release of roughly the same volume of CO2 as expected from modern fossil fuel consumption.
The research, conducted by Dr Tracy Aze, a research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, could have implications for the understanding of climate change in the future.
The amount of CO2 that is predicted to be released from the Industrial Revolution to around 100 years from now is roughly equivalent to what happened in the PETM, says Dr Aze. But the big difference is the rate of release: today we are releasing greenhouse gases at a far faster rate than 56 million years ago." Full press release
Wallace specimens unearthed: a work experience student has unearthed priceless Alfred Russel Wallace specimens. A 17-year-old student who spent just four weeks at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History has rediscovered hundreds of priceless specimens collected by Victorian natural historian Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913). At the Museum, Athena was tasked with searching 3,340 drawers of butterflies looking for specimens collected by Wallace, the famous naturalist who independently conceived a theory of evolution by natural selection at the same time as Charles Darwin. Her project was part of the Museums programme of activities surrounding the 2013 centenary of Wallaces death in November 1913. Read more
Dinosaur footprints return: casts of footprints laid down by a Megalosaurus dinosaur in Oxfordshire over 160 million years ago have been reinstalled outside the Museum of Natural History ahead of the Museums reopening next year. But rather than put the prints back in the same position as before, Museum staff have taken the opportunity to update the trackways by using current scientific ideas about the way the dinosaur moved. The prints are casts taken from a fossilised trackway discovered at Ardley Quarry near Bicester in 1997. It is thought that they were made by the large, three-toed carnivore Megalosaurus bucklandii, which roamed the lagoons of Jurassic Oxfordshire some 166-168 million years ago. Read more

[Rapid Review] Aneesoft HD Video Converter
Posted By Ashraf On December 26, 2010 @ 12:05 AM In Rapid (Shareware) Reviews | 10 Comments
{rw_text}Software reviewed in this article:
Version reviewed:
Software description as per the developer:
Aneesoft HD Video Converter is the best HD video converter that converts among HD video formats, such as HD AVI, AVCHD M2TS, MTS, TS, HD MOV, HD WMV, HD MP4, HD FLV. The converted video can be play on almost any portable device including iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP and can be used to video editing or playback on different media players.
Meanwhile, it can also support converting HD video to SD video formats, and even extract the audio from your videos, capture pictures from various videos, edit video by trimming, cropping, watermarking, etc.
Download size:
Supported OS:
Windows XP SP2/Vista/Win7
{/rw_text} –>
{/rw_good} –>
{/rw_bad} –>
{for="Ease of Use" value="7″}The program itself is fairly easy to use. However, there are a few things that may annoying many users (including me): No option to keep output video resolution the same as input video resolution (doesn't matter for SD -> HD conversions but is very annoying for SD -> SD or HD -> HD conversions), no drag + drop support, no ability to add an entry in the Windows Explorer right-click context menu, etc.
{for="Performance" value="6″}Aneesoft HD Video Converter uses FFMPEG as its backbone; so performance, in regards to conversion quality, is great. However, Aneesoft HD Video Converter is very RAM intensive (i.e. it uses almost 150 MB when doing SD conversions, and upwards of 600 MB of RAM when doing HD conversions), lacks the ability to make use of multi-cores (if applicable), and does not have NVIDIA CUDA support. The lack of multi-core and CUDA support, of course, make Aneesoft HD Video Converter slower than rival products on machines that have the newer hardware, such as multi-cores and CUDA capable graphic cards.
{for="Usefulness" value="7″}Since Aneesoft HD Video Converter does support many input and output video formats, I can see a good number of people finding it useful. However, lacking the ability to also do audio conversions and lacking the ability to support newer hardware will turn off some potential users.
{for="Price" value="8″}$5-10 cheaper than rival shareware video converters.
{for="Final Score" value="6″}

This article is part of the new Rapid Reviews [2] section on dotTech; thus it has no "full review". Please visit the announcement on Rapid Reviews [3] to learn more about what Rapid Reviews are.
(NOTE: Even though there is no "full review", all software featured in Rapid Reviews are still held to dotTech standards, and are evaluated fully and graded fairly [4]. And, Rapid Reviews still have the program overview, the good and the bad, ratings, quick verdict, free alternatives, and final verdict; Rapid Reviews just have no full review section. dotTech fully stands by all verdicts handed out in Rapid Reviews, just as we back all our verdicts on full Shareware Reviews.)
This review was conducted on a laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. The specs of the laptop are as follows: 3GB of RAM, a Radeon HD 2600 512MB graphics card, and an Intel T8300 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor.

{/rw_freea} –>
{rw_verdict2}If I had reviewed Aneesoft HD Video Converter two or three years ago it would have been near the top of my list of best video converters; it has good conversion quality (thanks to FFMPEG), supports many input/output video formats, allows users to perform basic edits, and has an easy-to-navigate interface. However, it is not 2008 anymore – it is 2010 (almost 2011); technology has advanced beyond what it used to be. Aneesoft HD Video Converter has a lot of catching up to do: It doesn't support multi-cores, no NVIDIA CUDA technology support, no option to keep output video resolution the same as input video resolution, etc. Aneesoft HD Video Converter may look like a Wondershare Software video converter – and it may even act like a Wondershare Software video converter, with the basic video editing capabilities, sans subtitles – but in reality it is only a cheap imitation. (Actually I don't know who copied who, but I do know this is not a Wondershare Software video converter.) When I say cheap imitation I literally mean it: Aneesoft HD Video Converter is $5-10 cheaper than most rival shareware video converters. However, trying to save $5-10 will get you a product that essentially belongs in 2008/2009. If you are thinking about getting Aneesoft HD Video Converter my recommendation is to rethink your decision and check out one of the products listed under "Free Alternatives" above. If you are lucky enough to read this article while iSkysoft iMedia Converter is available for free, grab that. If not, any of the other freeware converters will convert videos for you just fine… without you having to pay a dime. Freemake Video Converter, FormatFactory, and iWisoft Video Converter are my top picks out of the freeware alternatives.
{/rw_verdict2} –>
iWisoft Video Converter is very similar to Aimersoft Video Converter; it provides many of the same features. The major difference between iWisoft Video Converter and AVC is iWisoft has not been updated in a long time whereas AVC is fairly regularly updated. Because of that reason, Aimersoft Video Converter has some improvements in areas such as output profiles (Aimersoft Video Converter has profiles for newer devices such as the Nexus One, Samsung Vibrant, and Samsung Fascinate), support for automatic renaming of duplicate files, ability to create variable bitrate videos, support for adding subtitles, and – most recently – NVIDIA CUDA support.
Performance of both converters is excellent.
Format Factory is a multifunctional media converter. It supports many input and output formats, allows for the conversion of video files, audio files, image files, and has a few other handy features also. FF offers most all of the same video and audio converting features (including most of the editing features) as Aimersoft Video Converter; the main difference, in my opinion, is Aimersoft Video Converter is a bit easier to use in my opinion, but that is fairly subjective. There are two other differences worth noting, though: AVC mersoft Video Converter has the ability to create variable bitrate videos and NVIDIA CUDA support while FF has neither.
Performance of both converters is excellent.
With Super, you can literally convert any audio/video file to any audio/video file. The interface is a bit overwhelming at first, but if you learn to navigate it, Super will be your best friend. The only problem is the last time I tried to use Super I kept getting continual errors.
You can convert your files via this online website. They will convert your files then email you a link to them. Never really used it myself so can't say much about it.
Any Video Converter
Any Video Converter is an all-in-one video converting freeware with easy-to-use graphical interface, fast converting speed, and excellent video quality. It can convert almost all video formats including DivX, XviD, MOV, RM, RMVB, MPEG, VOB, DVD, WMV, and AVI to MPEG-4 movie format for PSP or other portable video device, MP4 player, or Smartphones.

This deal was reached with the assistance of Scot Beckenbaugh of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, a veteran of the 2004-05 NHL talks, then Major League Soccer's negotiations in 2010 and NFL and NBA talks the following year. Beckenbaugh spent Friday walking back and forth between the league's office and the hotel where players were staying, meeting with each side to set up the final talks.
"Fans throughout North America will have the opportunity to return to a favorite past time and thousands of working men and women and small businesses will no longer be deprived of their livelihoods," said George Cohen, the FMCS director.
Sam Flood, NBC Sports' executive producer, said his production team was "counting the seconds until the season begins." NBC announcer Mike Emrick said players will have more pressure because of the shortened schedule.
"The effect of even a two-game losing streak will be four," he said
The NHL's revenue of $3.3 billion last season lagged well behind the NFL ($9 billion), Major League Baseball ($7.5 billion) and the NBA ($5 billion), and the deal will lower the hockey players' percentage from 57 to 50 — owners originally had proposed 46 percent.
This was the third lockout among the major U.S. sports in a period of just over a year. A four-month NFL lockout ended in July 2011 with the loss of only one exhibition game, and an NBA lockout caused each team's schedule to be cut from 82 games to 66 last season.
As part of the deal:
—Players will receive $300 million in transition payments over three years to account for existing contracts, pushing their revenue share over 50 percent at the start of the deal.
—Players gained a defined benefit pension plan for the first time.
—The salary cap for this season will be $70.2 million before prorating to adjust for the shortened season, and the cap will drop to $64.3 million in 2013-14 — the same amount as 2011-12. There will be a salary floor of $44 million in those years.
—Free agents will be limited to contracts of seven years (eight for those re-signed with their former club).
—Salaries within a contract may not vary by more than 35 percent year to year, and the lowest year must be at least 50 percent of the highest year.
—There were no changes to eligibility for free agency and salary arbitration.
—The threshold for teams to release players in salary arbitration will increase from $1.75 million to $3 million.
—Each team may use two buyouts to terminate contracts before the 2013-14 or 2014-15 seasons for two-thirds of the remaining guaranteed income. The buyout will be included in the players' revenue share but not the salary cap.
—The minimum salary will remain at $525,000 this season and will rise to $750,000 by 2021-12.
—Either side may terminate the deal after the 2019-20 season.
—Revenue sharing will increase to $200 million annually and rise with revenue.
—An industry growth fund of $60 million will be funded by the sides over three years and replenished as need.
—Participation of NHL and its players in the 2014 Sochi Olympics will be determined later in discussions also involving the International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation.

I was just wondering what some thoughts were on the most important almost lost trades would be for EOTWAWNI, or even for just being more self sufficient. I'm referring to trades such as blacksmith, cooper, or even tailor. A lot of the old trades are almost gone now. Many of those trades are difficult to learn and require specialized tools. I'm thinking this would be a good time work on acquiring some of those tools and skills. I'm an ok machinist and cabinet maker now. Those are nice skills to have but neither would very useful for EOTWAWNI. I'm thinking many of the older trades would be much more useful. I just need to decide which ones would be the most useful?

farming, hunting, food prep, basic medicine would be good to learn
Member: NRA GOA ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Est sularas oth mithas "either way, you were guilty by association, so you were smited...." JD
Woodworking WITHOUT power tools, and blacksmithing the old fashion way are two skills that would be really good to have in case of EOTWAWKI. Tanning hides, and crafting them into useful things would also be good things to know how to do. Let's not forget about learning how to keep food good for a long time without a fridge.
Prepping your kill as far as smoking it and making jerky. Canning, learn to can everything that is perishable.I think basic mechanic skills would be a plus. I think learning about electric set up as far as making a generator from scratch. What about how to make ethanol for fuel... and drinking. Ummm... what about tanning hides and reloading ammo?? Idk just some thoughts.. good thread btw
using a spinning wheel to make thread for cloth out of various raw materials. using a loom to weave thread into cloth. woodcutting without power tools. farming without prepackaged seeds, fertilizers, insecticide, machinery building a fire without modern tools ie rubing sticks together hunting with primitive weapons
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I've got most of the basic skills like hunting and farming. I'm referring to skills like texaswoodworker mentioned, woodworking without power tools and blacksmithing. Just to expand on that, how many could make a hand plain to use for wood working without power tools or pedal powered lath? Most of us generally think of the same basic things for prepping but those are usually short term emergency skills like hunting and fishing. Those are great skills but long term would require many more skills. For example, its good to be able to tan hides but then you need all of the skills that go with making cloths in order to do something useful with that hide. Some heavy needles would also be useful and maybe even an old Singer? Smoking meat is good but it would useful to know how to make bricks to build a smoke house or fire bricks for a chimney. A lot of the skills I'm referring to really aren't useful now like barrel or glass making. That's why those skills are almost forgotten. I'm just trying to figure which of those skills would be the most useful to learn now.
Take a look at some of the old Anglo-Saxon surnames that came from a man's work. Farmer Smith (black AND white- y'all DID know there is a whitesmith- right?) Cooper Mason Joiner (carpenter) Turner (lathe work- for that spinning wheel) Miller Baker (know how to make sourdough starter?) Sawyer Vinter (wine, beer, shine anyone?) Tanner Collier (maker of charcoal) Weaver and Miner or Minor And unmarried women were, of course- Spinsters. Yep- I can (and have) made a plane for woodworking, starting with forging the iron- to see if I could. And have made wood chisels (#4 rebar, forge, 2 lb hammer) and a spring pole lathe. Worked suprisingly well.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Let your reps know how you feel about your 2nd Amendment Right. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/takeAction.html
Some of these skills need to be further analyzed. If we get to EOTWAWKI, is every farmer going to grow food, or do we also need marijuana, opium poppies, willow trees (bark is basis for aspirin), belladonna and other medicinal herbs? I never condone drug abuse, but I can't imagine some hard-working guy gashing his leg open and not having pain medication so the doc can sew him up. Also, how many people have the skill to take flax from growing it in te fields all the way to wearing it on their backs? The loom and spinning wheel are great ideas, but useless without the raw materials and skill to process it. We will all be living in much smaller communities where work and survival is shared, but this also means that each person needs more than one skill to be useful. In colonial times, everyone hunted and gardened or farmed. That was part of your individual skill set, but hardly marketable. Everyone will need at least one skill that is hard to find or uses complex items, i.e. blacksmithing.

Veteran defender Ferdinand wants to stay at Manchester United
APR 28, 2014 8:40a ET
Rio Ferdinand wants to be part of Manchester United's plans next year regardless of who is in charge.
Ferdinand is out of contract at the end of the season and he has been tipped to leave the club.
The 35-year-old has only started 10 Barclays Premier League games this season, but he wants to remain at Old Trafford to be part of the rebuilding process that began with David Moyes' dismissal.
"I'm going to continue playing," said Ferdinand, who moved to Old Trafford from Leeds 12 years ago.
"Whether it's here, I don't know. But I hope so."
Ferdinand has looked an assured presence when called upon at times this year, but his age and recent injury record count against him.
Never during Ferdinand's time at United had he experienced a season as bad as this one.
United were prompted to sack Moyes on Tuesday after he lost 11 league matches, leaving the club in seventh place without any hope of Champions League qualification, and Ferdinand admits he and his team-mates have been embarrassed by the club's form this season.
"I've not looked at the league table for ages because you don't want to," the centre-back said.
"It's embarrassing. You don't want to look at the league table and see where we are."
Many fans blamed Moyes for United's failings this year, but Ferdinand says the players are just as culpable.
"The players take responsibility as much as anyone else," Ferdinand said.
"We are not shirkers and we are not people who don't take responsibility. I don't think you get to where we have got to in our careers without taking responsibility and this is no different."
Ferdinand was restored to the starting line-up by interim manager Ryan Giggs for Saturday's 4-0 win over Norwich.
The victory helped lift the doom and gloom that had surrounded the club since the beginning of the season.
Ferdinand refused to be drawn into the debate regarding whether Giggs should remain in charge beyond the end of the season, but he is sure the club will bounce back whoever is in charge.
"When you have been successful, you don't want to look at a negative perspective or viewpoint, you always look around and think, 'What can we win, what do we want to win?'," he said
"That will be no different next season. I am sure that whoever is here, whoever is managing, the aim of this club is win trophies and championships and we have done that for 25 years.
"Long may that continue."
Ferdinand was unwilling to criticise Moyes' reign, even though the defender barely featured under the 51-year-old Scot.
The former England captain concedes the players have upped their work rate since Giggs' appointment.
He added: "It is always natural when you change a coaching team, that the intensity goes up because everyone wants to impress and everyone wants to play the first game under the new manager.
"They see it as a new chance, a new opportunity, and that's no different to what I have seen over the years with different teams, including England.
"It is no different this time around."

Matt Smith's slight overacting in 7b was to compensate for the somewhat wooden acting of Ms. Coleman. It was a poor choice by Moffat to use this actress as the foil to Smith. A better choice would have been to have Ms Kingston (RADA graduate and RST actress) appear more frequently than she did in 7a, much as she had in series 6. Smith and Kingston's onscreen chemistry (and her welcomed mentorship to Matt, Karen, and Arthur as well) in series 6, in particular, lead to Doctor Who's first time recognition and critical acclaim in countries outside of the British Commonwealth. One hopes, with the new Doctor being more of Ms. Kingston's age, we will be seeing more of her with the new Doctor.

Why BP (BP) Stock Is Higher Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of BP Plc (BP - Get Report) are 1.22% to $51.53 after the company said today that it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a court ruling related to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, which forces the company to pay some businesses for economic damages without the businesses having to prove the spill caused their losses, Reuters reports.
In New Orleans on Monday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wouldn't change a March ruling from a three-judge panel over how businesses would be paid.
BP has said paying such claims could push the estimated $9.2 billion cost of its settlement with those businesses much higher. The company said it would ask the 5th Circuit not to require it to make payments while it appeals.

- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 107.48% to $8,231.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, BP PLC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 18.91%.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period, despite the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.41, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.93 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 3.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 2.5%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.

The Art of Motivation
What motivates kids? Boy, if only I knew! How many parent meetings began- and ended – with exasperated parents exclaiming, "She's so smart, but she's just not motivated". This cry is at times a request for help and at times a criticism of the teacher. Either way, the ball falls into the educators lap and most are left clutching at straws. How indeed do we motivate students?

Who Was That Voice in the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY End Credits Scene? [Massive Spoilers]
By Charles Webb on August 1, 2014
Please, for the love of all that is the Mighty Thor, stop reading this post if you don't want the post-credits stinger for Guardians of the Galaxy spoiled. There be a casting reveal below and we don't want anyone getting upset that we didn't warn you. So consider yourself warned.
Are you good? Are we good? Good.
Seth Green was the voice of Howard the Duck in the post-credits stinger. The Robot Chicken co-creator, Family Guy voice actor, and once and future Oz lent his voice to the cantankerous mallard in the final scene set in the Collector's lair. So is Green's work here just a one-off or a herald of more Howard to come? Personally, I'd love for the character to return somewhere in the Marvel Cinematic U and dug the little bit of time Green had with Howard.
It is believed Howard was the larger role originally offered to Nathan Fillion that James Gunn previously spoke of, but the actor passed hoping to play a larger role in the physical Marvel Cinematic Universe. What that role might one day be is yet to be decided, but with Joss Whedon and James Gunn directing Marvel films, it's hard to imagine a world where Fillion doesn't eventually show up.
For those of you going "Howard who," the character was created in 1973 by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik over in the pages of Adventure Into Fear of all places. In the comics, Howard was from a world populated by duck-people, dragged to our through a portal in the middle of the Everglades thanks to a Man-Thing adventure gone awry (as one will do).
It's not so weird seeing Howard out in the depths of space: Gerber and subsequent writer would plug Howard into superheroic and cosmic adventures, which would in turn serve as a platform for Howard's often misanthropic rants against human nature, politics, the economy, and the media.
Many of you probably know this isn't Howard's first time on the big screen: he was voiced by Chip Zien in the 1986 film produced by George Lucas.
Doesn't he look a lot like Donald Duck? Disney seemed to think so, and for a while – before the studio bought out Marvel – Howard's design had to be tweaked so he wouldn't resemble pop culture's other other angry bird (let's not forget Daffy). First, Marvel put him in pants, then later gave him a drastic makeover in the fourth volume of his comic under artist Juan Bobillo.
But since the buyout, Marvel's been free to use the original Howard look in comics and once again, on the big screen.
What do you think? Would you want more Seth Green as Howard? Sound off in the comments.
Did not Recognize One of the most memorable stingers ever!
Yrs yes please god yes!
Stab me in my eyes and tear out my cerebellum Howard the Duck needs to never ever be mentioned ever
That explains why you chose his name for your avatar.
The Transformers have been a part of several cinematic abortions. No one should ever bring them up again either.
Nathan Fillion WAS in there. He is the giant blue beast that gets his ass kicked in Kyln.
As a child of the 80s who was a little in love with Howard The Duck (yes I know the movie was terrible but I was young!!) the final scene actually made my heart sing and I left the cinema with a very big smile on my face – I would love to see more Howard, and I hope we do.
Only thing that would have made good ol' Howard look even better (and he looks awesome here) would have been his trademark stogie!
The bit was hilarious and unexpected, and worked well as a one-off sort of gag, and in my opinion should stay that way. But what do I know..
Given the number of viewers who are not familiar with Howard, I don't think it will work well as a one-off. They need to do more with the character in order for the scene to not become the most useless after credits scene in the MCU.
I think that was part of the point. They first trained everyone to expect these scenes post credits, and this was there way of reminding us that they can put what they want there. I enjoyed it, and it felt as existential as Howard always has.
Disney hurt Howard and Steve Gerber very badly. Now they OWN Howard, and they continue to avoid paying the various artists who created the Marvel characters. I wish the fans would slow down a moment to remember that.
You speak the truth
You're not wrong. Considering everything Disney did to destroy the character,its beyond ironic that he wound up in a Disney movie(with his more-or-less original look). Howard the Duck was an amazing character/comic and Gerbers work deserves to be honored and remembered. Hopefully,in time,credit will wind up where credit is due,but until then theres no reason to banish the character into non-existence. I would love for Gunn to work him into the plot of Guardians 2 and hopefully find a way to keep Howard around the MCU for a long,long time.
Howard is the Jar Jar Binks of the Marvel Universe.
Care to say more about that?
He's beloved of people with intelligence and disliked by people with pedestrian tastes…
Not gonna lie, I was rooting for a Ms. Marvel lead in when Marvel was being all secretive about the scene. It was a funny scene, I just kinda wanted more.
I understand the want, but there is so much groundwork and back story you would have to lay out before just throwing Ms. Marvel in. There are some huge events that led up to any version of that character coming into existence.
Heck to the yes I want some more Howard the duck!! I almost fainted when I saw him!
Howard the Duck is awesome. He was ALWAYS so much more than the Lucas movie. Gerber was a helluva a writer and the original comics were hilarious. I would LOVE to see more Howard the Duck in future Marvel Movies.
No puppet or die!
I would be able to die happy if we got like, a made for TV or Netflix Howard the Duck movie set in the Marvel cinematic universe.

Hated it. I mean really. I didn't like Howard in the comics as a kid and I don't like him now. I walked out of the theater pissed. I waited all that time just to see Howard the fuck?
Really, you sat through a great movie and walked out pissed off because of a post credit scene? Adjust your fedora and get over it.
Howard wasn't meant for kids. That's why he had his own black and white graphic novels that were VERY adult.

Why not just let Howard cameo in a cage during the movie along with the dog, the Dark Elf, and the Chitauri? Waiting through the credits for that stinger – which seemed like a one-off gag – was a letdown. When I took my kids to see it the next day, I didn't even bother to have them wait to see it. Though, that was probably my only disappointment with this movie.

Howard's cool…Seth Green is awful how this hack keeps getting chances is unbelievable
Yeah, I know. He's so awful.

Oh, wait, cause he's super skilled and still pretty hot. That's why.

The first time I saw the film, I was certain that Alex Hirsch (creator of Gravity Falls and voice of Grunkle Stan) had lent his voice to Howard. Being a huge fan of both Howard the Duck and Gravity Falls, I thought it was an awesome move. The second time I saw the trailer, I realized I was wrong, which is why I came here. I don't know why – I have nothing personal against Seth Green – but it really disappointed me that they chose him for this role. It's funny how some voices just seem so right for a character that it irks me when the casting folks "get it wrong". No bad on the part of Seth Green or Howard – I'll take what I can get. Any chance of a CGI 80's Lea Thompson making a cameo? Anybody????
Worth noting that Seth Green voiced Rocket Raccoon in some of the Marvel cartoons. I wouldn't be surprised if he auditioned for Rocket in the movie and Gunn gave him Howard as a consolation prize.

It boots fine, but I cannot connect wireless to my network. Wired is no problem (although I cannot find the eth0-device anywhere; how does this work?). The laptop uses a Cisco-Linksys wireless usb-adapter.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Hans.

OMV brings to you a network attached storage solution for beginners and avanced users. It has the simplicity, yet is still comprehensive, that is needed for beginners who don't know much about Linux. It is even easier to install than your Windows. OMV takes care of anything itself. You just need to setup your root password. No more interaction is needed from you to install this Distribution. After the installion you can start right away with settup up your shares, configuring plugins and services, creating a raid or filesystem on your new hard disk. All that can be easy done via a simple Webinterface. OMV features a simple Plugin API and comes with a bunch of Plugins developed and maintained by votdev itself. Plugins that are included from the beginning and just need to be installed in the plugin section feature support for clamav (Antivirus), DAAP (itunes media server), netatalk (AppleTalk) and one for USB Backups. There are also some Plugins for Users with needs that go above the usual: LDAP, LVM2, iSCSI Enterprise Target, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and one to manipulate the the IP Route table. Besides that there are already many Plugins made from the community for the Fedaykin (OMV 0.4) version. Available User made Plugins are: autoshutdown, dnsmasq, git, mysql, processlist and transmissionbt. More Plugins, that are not maintained at the moment, but available and working on Fedaykin are: cups, minidlna, openvpn, subversion, virtualbox and a website plugin. Greyhole will be available again in the next OMV version. The upcoming version Sardaukar (OMV 0.5) will feature a better and redifined Plugin API which will make it even easier for Users to devolop Plugins. Other new Features that are coming to OMV are Static IPv6 Support (0.5) and dynamic Support in 0.6. Version 0.6 also takes the step to move from Debian Squeeze to the new stable Debian version Wheezy. Keep in mind that openmediavault just builds up onto a standard minimal Debian installation. So, anything that can run on Debian, will much likely also run on OMV.
