Good evening, I am designing a game, and soon I will need to begin seeking out a coder or programmer (maybe several) to bring it to life.
I am very new to all of this, so what I am asking is- what would a programmer need to know in order to give a reasonable estimate of time and money they would charge to complete it (U.S dollars). Please allow me to give an outline, and let me know what more information is required.
Most of the headers contain links to my website, which have mock-ups of the game screens, for a better idea of the game format.
Pack for Coders
Necromancer, The Fight For Life is a 2D RPG to be programmed in C++, C#, Unity or whatever
software is most appropriate, using sprites for animation and simple graphics. The game can be played
with mouse and keyboard and compatible with Microsoft Windows. In terms of mechanics and complexity
it is almost identical to Gameboy Pokemon games, the main feature of which is monster capturing and battling.
Fade in and out company logo, fade in title screen with 4 options.
New- Starts a slideshow of 5 still slides with music and
voiceover, then the game begins.
Load- Restores a previously saved game state.
Options- Change music volume, sfx volume.
Website- Opens a separate window that shows the company website.
Character sprite can move up, down, left and right on a
tiled surface (using basic walking sprite animation). When the sprite
encounters a tile with a town on it, the game screen changes to a town, there
is also a "random chance" while moving of entering a battle with NPCs. On the
World Map screen at any time the player can enter the options screen with a
button press.
Character sprite can move up, down, left and right. When
standing next to an NPC sprite, a button press can initiate text on the screen
(the NPC speaking), occasionally there will be dialogue options (the equivalent
of Yes and No options) that will affect future dialogue options, story elements,
and also affect the game conclusion. There is a point in each town where the
player can Save the game state and also heal all of their minions to full
health points.
There will be approximately 50 towns, all using the same
structure, just different art. Through dialogue options the player can accept
and complete quests, progressing the story and unlocking new areas on the World
The battle screen will have 1 – 3 minion sprites controlled
by the player, and 1 – 3 sprites controlled by AI. The player can choose to Run
(having 50% chance of returning to the World Map), Info (which will cause
anything the Pointer is on to display explanatory text) and Action, which will
cause battle actions.
The battles are turn based (order determined by the minion's
Speed value), each minion has the option of 4 attacks with the option of 3
targets (some high level attacks will affect all targets, and some attacks can
target allies). When an attack and a target is selected, a battle animation
will play (normally comprised of 4 sprites) and the next minion will be able to
Some attacks cause a minion to lose health points, some
cause a minion to increase or decrease in stats (referred to as buffs and
debuffs, see below for stat details). When a minion reaches zero health points,
it can no longer act in battle. When all the minions on one side have zero
health points the battle is over, if the player lost, they are transported to
the last town they visited, if the player was victorious they are returned to
their location on the World Map.
NPC minions in battle can be controlled by simple AI or
simple random number generators (with 4 attacks to choose from, and 3 targets
to choose from, there is a total of 12 possible actions, so maybe random battle
actions would be just as effective, I have yet to learn enough about this).
Minion health points can be recovered by the act of walking
on the World Map. Something like 5 health points per step, or totally recovered
by resting in a town (talking to a certain NPC sprite like an innkeeper).
The minion management screen displays a simple list of all the minions
which the player has captured and currently owns. Each minion can be individually selected and the
player can use the following options.
Info- Displays a new screen with detailed minion stats.
Switch- a second minion must be selected, and then those two
minions switch spots in the list. The first three minions in the list are the
ones which will be used in battle.
Fuse- a second minion must be selected, and then both
minions are deleted and a new minion is created. Only specific combinations of
minions can be successfully fused, if non-compatible minions are selected then
a simple "not compatible" message is displayed.
Remove- Minion is permanently deleted from the list.
There are 150 different minions, and the player can own
multiple copies of the same minion.
Minions have 10 Stats (of numerical value from 0 – 1000)
Health Points- are the amount of points a minion can lose before being defeated.
Strength- determines physical damage output.
Constitution- lessens the amount of physical damage taken.
Dexterity- increases the chance an attack will connect with its target.
Finesse- increases the chance an incoming attack will miss.
Speed- determines how soon the minion can act in battle.
Willpower- determines magical damage output.
Resistance- lessens the amount of magical damage taken.
Luck- increases the potency of actions which effect the stats of minions (buffs and debuffs).
Fate- decreases the potency of incoming actions which effect the stats of minions.
After each successful battle, minions will gain experience
points. As experience points increase, minions' values increase, making them
more powerful in battles. After certain amounts of experience points, minions
gain new attacks and can eventually evolve into new more powerful forms.
There are 240 different attacks, each using a different calculation of stats,
for example-
Slice = Attacker's Strength minus Target's Constitution
Lightning = Attacker's Willpower minus Target's Resistance
With some involving more complicated calculations (nothing
more than basic algebra) such as...
Vines = Attacker's Willpower plus Attacker's Speed divided
by 2 minus Target's Resistance with a chance to reduce the Target's Speed by an
amount determined by a different calculation e.t.c...
I have not yet settled on the exact method of acquiring new minions,
I expect it will be similar to Pokemon games (reduce target to a low
health, then attempt to capture).
Pocket Necronomicon
A simple screen containing a virtual book, pages can be
turned and pages will show text information about minions (added as new minions
are encountered) similarly with people and places.
Thank you for reading.

What is timber stand improvement? Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) denotes management practices that improve the vigor, productivity and quality of stands of trees.
In Missouri, young tree stands have become established readily following cutting or fire. But tree quality, species composition and individual tree form are often undesirable. Further reduction in quality comes when the better trees are harvested, leaving the bad ones, and when fire-scarred trees remain. The average Missouri woodland contains about 20 percent cull trees and produces at less than one-third its potential.
Many options are open to woodland owners. They may use a TSI program to increase the woodland's value for timber products, water, recreation, forage, wildlife, natural beauty, or for special products. Fortunately, work done to improve one use also benefits others in most cases.
Various practices used and tree species selected should fit the chosen emphasis for the woodland. The number of trees to keep depends on species, type of site, management goals and size of the trees. Professional foresters are available to help determine a woodland's potentials and limitations and to help develop and carry out a suitable management plan.
Types of trees usually removed are:
It is important to remove or kill these types of trees as soon as possible after an area has been logged to properly release younger trees. Variety is important in a woodland environment, so those trees necessary for den trees, aesthetics or special foods should be selected and retained in the stand when beginning a program of TSI.
The following practices are among those used in Timber Stand Improvement.
Site preparation for natural reproduction in understocked stands means preparing the site to allow natural seeding or resprouting of desirable species, or underplanting seedling stock to fully use the available growing space. This practice is used in poorly stocked stands to fill large openings and increase stand density, or to improve the species composition.
Thinning is cutting trees from an immature stand to increase rate of growth and improve the form of the remaining trees. Proper space varies depending on species, purpose of management and quality of the location (site). Table 1 gives a range of spacing for trees of various diameters.
Table 1Tree spacing
Release is removing or killing undesirable older overtopping trees to encourage fast growth and better quality of vigorous young desirable trees.
Pruning is removing limbs to produce the maximum clear lumber or veneer in the butt log. Prune only selected hardwood trees where high-value species are grown on good sites. This is recommended primarily in managing black walnut.
In pruning lower limbs of young trees, don't remove too much of the food-producing leaf surface of the tree. At least one-half of the living crown of the tree should be left intact. In general, trees should be pruned before they reach 8 inches in diameter. Limbs to be removed should be pruned before they reach 2 inches in diameter to reduce the wound size, to ensure proper closing and to lessen the impact of entry by insects or disease organisms.
Vine removalOn some areas vines do considerable damage to trees. Vines not retained because of wildlife food value, fall color, etc., should be killed at the same time other stand improvement work is done. Remove them by cutting them as low to the ground as possible and immediately treating the stump with a herbicide.
Many Missouri hardwood species sprout heavily after fire or cutting. Sprouts grow rapidly and often form multiple-stemmed clumps. Use these guidelines for deciding how to handle sprout clumps.
Sprout stands are best managed before they reach 20 years of age. Early treatment permits better selection of trees from the standpoint of attachment to and size of the parent stump, and greatly lessens the danger of decay from wounds left in cutting companion sprouts.
The best trees to leave come from seedlings, seedling sprouts or sprout clumps arising from stumps 4 inches or less in diameter. Sprouts from larger stumps may be selected if they arise very low on the stump and if the parent stump wound is small.
If early treatment is made in a young stand, it will enter maturity with the crop trees primarily single stemmed. Where there has been no early treatment, pole stands of sprout origin are likely to consist of sprout groups. After companion sprouts, joined at the base with a V-shaped crotch, have grown several inches in diameter, it is usually difficult to remove one without leaving a large wound at the base of the other, through which decay will develop. Twins of this type should be left alone. Where the sprouts have a low U-shaped crotch between them, or are entirely separated from each other above ground, one or more can be removed.
Cost sharing practices are available for TSI. For further information, contact your local MU Extension center, Missouri Department of Conservation District Forester, or County Agricultural Stabilization Conservation Service Office.
Free technical assistance on all timber management practices is available through local District Foresters of the Missouri Department of Conservation.
The landowner should keep in mind that in many cases a properly conducted timber sale (improvement harvest) can accomplish a great amount of TSI. Undesirable trees that are not merchantable may be removed by cutting, dozing, brushhogging, girdling, or by chemical control. Chemically treating large trees is more economical than felling and is more certain to kill them than is girdling. Where control of resprouting is desired, chemicals are most effective.
Silvicides and herbicides are chemicals that act as translocation poisons, plant hormones or growth regulators, contact poisons, or soil sterilants. Some of the more common herbicides used in TSI operations are 2,4-D amine, triclopyr, AMS, picloram, glyphosate, dicamba, MSMA, or cacodylic acid.
All of these chemicals can injure sensitive trees, crops or ornamental plants if they are not used properly according to label instructionsMany are volatile and their vapors and spray drift will damage desirable plants, especially on windy days.
Silvicides and herbicides can be applied as follows:

France 1848 – French Polynesia 1903
Portrait of the artist with 'The yellow Christ'
[Portrait de l'artiste au 'Christ jaune'] 1890-91
oil on canvas
canvas 38.0 (h) x 46.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase with the assistance of Philippe Meyer and patronage organised by the Nikkei newspaper 1994

In the history of European portraiture, since the days of the Renaissance, the sitter was often painted with their personal possessions, and particular care was taken with gestures and facial expressions to denote the subject's personality. In the tradition of self-portraiture, an artist posed himself surrounded by his work.
As seen here, Gauguin has provided an innovative new take on the art of self-portraiture. He has placed himself in front of two works of great personal significance. One of these is a glazed stoneware pot which is a self-portrait from early 1889.1 Gauguin considered the ceramic to be 'one of my best things', and intended it as a gift to Madeleine Bernard (Emile Bernard's sister), with whom he was infatuated. The distorted self-portrait was in keeping with its medium of stoneware—according to Gauguin, taking on the appearance of being 'scorched in the ovens of hell', as if 'glimpsed by Dante on his tour of the Inferno'.2
The other reference work Gauguin includes in his self-portrait is a cropped mirror image of his painting The yellow Christ 18893, painted not long before.The yellow Christ was one of Gauguin's most important paintings of this period, interpreting a religious subject in a radical style combining traditional Christian imagery with a fantastic coloured palette. The motif of the Christ was derived from a polychrome wooden sculpture of a crucifixion from the eighteenth century, in the Chapel of Trémalo near Pont-Aven. Gauguin's Christ, however, is painted in brilliant yellows, oranges and browns, blues and greens. The almost abstract forms, outlined in blue, add further to his radical interpretation of the subject and are a perfect summation of Gauguin's mature Pont-Aven style.
The incorporation of these two important works in his self-portrait reveals much about the artist's self-perception—Gauguin considers himself both martyr and savage. His letters in late 1889 make reference to his keen sense of martyrdom in his fight against artistic mediocrity, as he writes to Bernard advising that in comparison to his own predicament, Bernard was too young 'to carry the cross'.4 When arranging the gift of his ceramic self-portrait to Madeleine Bernard, he described the work as 'the head of Gauguin, the savage'.5
For the self-portrait, Gauguin has set himself between these two objects which express the duality of his existence. His face seems burdened by the path he has chosen. Yet he portrays himself as a determined character, dressed simply, with a steely gaze; as a man who despite the loss of his family and his failure to sell his art continues to pursue his dream.

February's Macau gambling revenue numbers are in, and they're better than many analysts expected. U.S. investors are shrugging off the news, however, with the four U.S. listed companies trading lower today.
Susquehanna Financial Group's Rachel Rothman provides the details:
February Macau gaming revenue grew 11.5% Y/Y despite one fewer day than the prior year
period, better than chatter of mid-single digit Y/Y growth earlier on in the month and largely
in-line with Street expectations for low teens Y/Y growth in 1Q13….Assuming QTD trends hold, 1Q13 is on pace to grow 10.7% Y/Y, just below our +11.4% Y/Y forecast.
Rothman, however, refrains from making any calls on individual stocks at this time because the impact of China's New Year makes the numbers-especially in regards to market share–volatile and unpredictable.
Casino stocks have dropped on the news, but nothing like previous swings experienced this year–and contrary to what I had expected to happen. Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) has fallen 1% to $19.01, Las Vegas Sands' (LVS) has dropped 1.3% to $50.82 and MGM Resorts International's (MGM) has dipped 0.6% to $12.41. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) has dropped a 1.1% to $115.60.

Neighbors get partial victory in nuisance home fight
SPOKANE, Wash. - For nearly a year, homeowners in the Indian Trail neighborhood say they've feared for their families because of a suspected drug house, and finally had their day in court Friday.
Friday's court hearing lasted four hours, and the goal and the end of it for those neighbors was to get the problem house boarded up for a year so the drug activity and fear in their lives would be gone.
Armed with a thick binder of evidence, a city attorney carefully outlined what life has been like for the homeowners for the last nine months: violent fights in the street, men walking around with guns, suspected drug activity from using to selling.Nuisance house Thursday hearing
Marcy Pratt, who owns the so-called problem house, represented herself in court and explained away all of the accusations from neighbors. She also admitted to dating a known meth addict and inviting drug abusers into her home to help them.
However, she said neither she nor anyone else has never had, sold or used drugs in her home.
After four hours of testimony Judge Kathleen O'Connor gave neighbors a partial victory as she ordered the home be secured. Pratt must vacate the home until March 18.
Neighbors weren't happy with the judge's decision; they wanted a final resolution after all these months, but the reason Judge O'Connor didn't issue the full abatement and order Pratt to leave her home for a year is because O'Connor had concerns about Pratt not having a lawyer and not having enough time to view evidence against her.
O'Connor will issue a final ruling on March 18, and neighbors are hoping that's when the home will be boarded up for the long-term.

I am still working on what I am calling The Great Bedroom Makeover and definitely still have a long ways to go, but this week added something very new and different to my bedroom:
Please tell me you like that. Because I love it. But, hubby's initial reaction was not the overwhelming awe and love that I expected but more of a "well gee, that's awfully bright….but you sure did a beautiful job painting."
It's true. It is bright (I can't quite get the pictures to capture it's full color and brightness) and so far all we have in there is a now painted black dresser, a newly painted black bed and soon to be painted black night stands, so it sort of stands out like a sore thumb. I need to pull in more color definitely but that is coming.
How to Refinish a Desk:
This desk was a steal of a deal. I got it from the classifieds for $100 which I thought was fantastic! It's solid oak and in great condition. It was pretty to start out with:
I could tell it had once been stained, then black, then white. Now turquoise.
I didn't have to change the hardware or anything and really I could have used it as it was. But where's the fun in that?
So I painted it. I got one of these babies for my birthday so I decided to do a little sanding too to get rid of some of the previous layers of paint. And then I painted two layers. Pretty easy. I started Tuesday and finished Thursday.
If you want to try this project-refinishing a desk or other furniture-without sanding, I recommend getting Zinsser primer (you can get it at Walmart or a paint store). Paint a coat of that on and then paint. SO easy. (See how I did that on this dresser.)
That's Benjamin Moore Baby Boy Blue paint on it.
Now, I need to decide what other colors to incorporate into my room and what to hang on the wall above it. Ideas? And, what color chair should I do to go with it?

New Thriller about Eugenics, the Dirty Little Secret of the Anglo-American Intellectual Elite
In 1940, when many feared that Britain would imminently fall to Hitler, a committee at Yale University extended an offer of refuge in the US to the children of faculty members at Oxford and Cambridge. Officials at Cambridge University declined, on the grounds that sending their children to safety when other Britons could not might be interpreted as privilege for a special class. But Oxford accepted the invitation, and in July of that year, 125 children and 25 of their mothers set sail for temporary homes with Yale families. Their hosts in and around New Haven apparently acted out of altruism and kindness. Neither they nor the Oxford children and mothers were told that the Yale organizers were motivated by explicitly eugenic commitments to saving at least some of the children of intellectuals. A fictional story based on this eugenics-inspired program is told in Pantheon, a thriller recently released in the UK (available in the US via online sellers). Author Sam Bourne, the literary pseudonym of prize-winning and left-leaning British journalist Jonathan Freedland, has written four previous thrillers, one of them a New York Times and number one UK bestseller. Pantheon has been reviewed in the UK by The Guardian, The Independent, and the Jewish Chronicle. The Daily Mail responded to its publication with an article about the Yale-Oxford program titled, Did Yale University plan to create an intellectually superior race of children to repopulate Britain after World War Two?Freedland himself, in a Guardian piece written under his own name and in an interview sponsored by Jewish Book Week [UK], contemplates the early responses to Pantheon, and especially to his point that eugenics appealed strongly to elements of the political left as well as the right. Eugenics, Freedland writes, is one of the grisliest skeletons in the cupboard of the British intellectual elite, a skeleton that rattles especially loudly inside the closet of the left.
Its all too easy, he notes, for left-liberals today to react as if this were all an accident of time, a slip-up by creatures of their era who should not be judged by today's standards. He continues:
[T]his was no accident. The Fabians, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and their ilk were not attracted to eugenics because they briefly forgot their leftwing principles. The harder truth is that they were drawn to eugenics for what were then good, leftwing reasons.
They believed in science and progress, and nothing was more cutting edge and modern than social Darwinism. Man now had the ability to intervene in his own evolution. Instead of natural selection and the law of the jungle, there would be planned selection
.If the state was going to plan the production of motor cars in the national interest, why should it not do the same for the production of babies?
Does the past matter? When confronted by facts that are uncomfortable, but which relate to people long dead, should we put them aside and, to use a phrase very much of our time, move on?

These hors d'oeuvres are light, flaky and absolutely addictive. They are also simple to prepare and make a big impression — just what you want in party food.
Leave a Review
not that great, why so many people like this I'm not sure
I first made these for my son's wedding (party between wedding and reception). They were gone within 5 minutes. I could have quadrupled the recipe and not had enough! I have made them countless times since, and always try to have some in the freezer to pull out when unexpected guests arrive. A GREAT appetizer.
I've made these appetizerrs several times for parties and whenever I walk in with them, people are grabbing for these bite-size hors d'oeuvres before I even have a chance to set them down.
These are so easy and quick and everyone gobbles them right up. Honey dijon mustard is hard to find. The last time I used Nancy's Honey Mustard but it wasn't sharp enough and I wasn't as pleased with the pinwheels as when I used her sharper mustard. They were still good though and this is a great appetizer to pull out of your bag of tricks when you need something that comes together quickly with few ingredients.
These are great for cocktail parties. You can use Parmesan or Romano in place of asiago.
This recipe is always popular, but plan on serving it immediately as the pinwheels are not so good luke warm or cold. I've made this recipe for years and have made numerous variations on the filling. Some filling combinations include: chicken & apple sausage, goat cheese and fresh spinach; salami cheddar and olives; artichoke, sauted onions and gruyere; shrimp and herbed soft cheese; ham or pastrami, swiss cheese and thoroughly drained sour kraut. Chilling the dough ahead of time makes it easier to slice into pinwheels, but if you are in a hurry, you don't need to chill ahead of slicing.
I've been making this recipe since Year 2001, after cutting it out of Bon Appetit. Easy to make and always a crowd pleaser!
Absolutley yummy. I make it all the time. Everyone (including kids) loves it.
Amazing! These are a hit everytime!!!

The UNCW men's basketball team opens its 2013-14 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) schedule with a home game in early January against defending champion James Madison and closes out the slate with a bye on the final night of the regular season.
Coach Buzz Peterson's club plays four of its seven conference games in January at Trask Coliseum, including the league opener on Saturday, Jan. 4, against the Dukes and Matt Brady.
"As always, it's a very challenging schedule," said Peterson. "We're looking forward to all of the league games and especially playing new conference member College of Charleston. We look forward to the challenge."
In addition to the Dukes, UNCW faces Hofstra, Drexel and Towson at home during the first month of the year. The road schedule in through the first four weeks of the season includes the team's first conference pairing, with the College of Charleston on Wednesday, Jan. 22, in UNCW's first league visit to the Low Country.
The Seahawks, 5-13 in league play one year ago, have nine CAA contests in February, starting off with a two-game road trip to Delaware and Drexel. UNCW concludes the final month of the regular season in Wilmington with back-to-back home dates against Charleston and Delaware.
UNCW is the only CAA team with a bye on the final Saturday (March 1) of the regular campaign.
All nine CAA teams will convene in Baltimore on March 7-10 for the CAA Championship at First Mariner Arena. It will mark the first time the CAA tourney has been held outside of Richmond since 1989.

Campbell University traces its heritage of serving nontraditional military students back to 1945.
WWII ended in 1945.
Students returned from the war and flocked to stateside campuses to use their GI benefits. Campbell University was a beneficiary of this wave. Our own beloved third president, the late Dr. Norman A. Wiggins was one such student – having served as a Marine in the Pacific Theater, Dr. Wiggins returned from the war, entered Campbell and began an distinguished educational journey. In 1945, Campbell began serving hundreds of military students and the tradition continues.
Celebrating 70 Years
In 2015, the University will celebrate 70 years of serving military students. Not many Universities can celebrate such longevity of service to military and veteran students.
Military Friendly School ® 2014
As we continue our support for active duty, reservists, veterans, dependents and civilians, we are proud to be recognized as a 2014 Military Friendly School®.Inclusion in this honored distinction shows our promise to providing a supportive environment for military students. The list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace U.S. military service members, veterans and spouses. Now in its fifth year running, Campbell University has been selected for this 2 years in a row.
Dedicated Veterans Affairs Team
Campbell University and all of its extended campuses have a dedicated Veterans Affairs Team that helps military personnel obtain a degree in 5 easy steps. Each VA certifying official serves as a liason between veteran students and the Department of Veterans Affairs. We aid in helping military students meet their educational goals and objectives by utilizing veteran benefits, such as the GI Bill. Our distance education programs provide courses that are flexible to military professionals who are deployed or overseas.

Presented by: The Florida Bar's Law Office Management Assistance Service (LOMAS). www.floridabar.org/lomas
The rapid introduction of new technology not only has increased efficiency in the courts, law firms, corporate in-house legal departments, and government agency law offices, it has also reduced costs. Over time, the Florida Supreme Court has amended how e-documents are filed in Florida's courts.
New Rule of Judicial Administration 2.526 took effect January 1, 2012. New Rule 2.526 requires that any document that is or will become a judicial branch record, and that is electronically transmitted, be formatted in a manner that complies with all state and federal laws requiring electronic accessibility to persons with disabilities. These requirements include compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as incorporated into Florida law by Section 282.603(1), Florida Statutes (2010).
This course will cover:
¨ What is an accessible document?
¨ Electronic filing of court documents and digital accessibility of e-filed court documents
¨ Summary explanation of Rule 2.525(g) and Rule 2.526
¨ Necessary software
¨ How to prepare and convert your document
¨ Resources for troubleshooting
¨ Supplemental material is included as a PDF download
Note: The information presented in this seminar, especially about the procedures and current standards for electronically transmitting digitally accessible documents to Florida courts, is current as of January, 2012. In the ensuing months when more information becomes available about transmitting accessible documents with Florida's courts, The Florida Bar will make that information available.

quote:You forgot the word SHOULD in that sentence.
I'm just saying Jenkins is one of the better players on this shitastic defense
you do realize if you give up a play and still tackle the guy, that's a plus by your evaluation methods?
Just so y'all know...Harper and Jenkins are ranked 19th and 22th in total tackles so far, which is 2nd and 3rd among among DBs in the league.
if you are going to post stats please post all relevant ones
lol ok. I guess since y'all were discussing the tackling techniques then tackling stats aren't appropriate..
Number of baseball hits are useless unless you tell me the total at bats.
quote:listen malcom, you suck hard this year and last year, get your shite together.
If you think tackling and football defense is just hit or miss type stuff then I don't know what to do for you. But valiant effort in trying to twist facts.
Team defense. I'm not saying our safeties are playing flawless by any stretch of the imagination...but the young cbs are getting burned all the time. Jenkins and Harper can't cover for everyone's mistakes. Especially when dealing with pass defense, it's a team effort, except maybe back shoulder stuff? You could make an argument for that but even Revis gets burned on those from time to time.

GMOS-N Fringing
The original GMOS-N EEV CCDs had significant fringing in the red. The new E2V DD CCDs have much weaker fringing. This page shows examples of fringe frames in imaging mode from both arrays in the i'-filter and the z'-filter.
The original fringe frames are available as FITS images (117Mb gzipped tar-file) from the GMOS SV data page at the Gemini Science Archive.
More recent fringe frames for both i' and z' are available from the Gemini Science Archive. To retrieve either the raw or the processed frames one can follow eg. these steps (Note that the new DD E2V CCDs were installed Nov 2011):
- Under GSA Queries select menu item Search Complete Catalogue
- Select a Standard Query GMOS-N and/or GMOS-S and click Continue to query form...
- In Target Name enter Fringe
- From the Resolver: menu select Gemini name (not the default value SIMBAD/NED)
- in Filters enter either i_G0302 or z_G0304
- From the Instrument menu select GMOS-N
- In CCDSUM enter either 1 1 or 2 2
- Select the raw or processed frames you wish to retrieve and continue by clicking Download Datasets. Note the processed frames have _fringe in the Data Label and the filename begins with RG.
Fringing in the original EEV CCDs
Fringing in the new DD E2V CCDs
The original EEV CCDs
The data shown for the original EEV CCDs were obtained the night of August 19-20, 2001, during the commissioning of GMOS-N. This was close to new moon, and the sky was photometric. The fringe strength in the z'-filter is typically +-2.5% of the background, while in the i'-filter the fringing is +-0.7% of the background.
z'-filter fringe frame.
i'-filter fringe frame. The images was median filtered with a box 17pixels by 17 pixels in order to increase the signal-to-noise. Because this fringe frame was constructed from only 6 science exposures, artifacts are seen from insufficient cleaning of signal from objects. The signal in the artifacts is typically less than 1% of the background level.
Relative strength of the fringes in the z'- and the i'-filter.
z'-filter science frame before and after fringe subtraction.
i'-filter science frame before and after fringe subtraction.
The data shown for the new E2V DD CCDs were taken between Dec 2011 - Feb 2012, on photometric nights in dark time. Fringing in the z'-filter is typically +-0.3% of the background, while the i'-filter fringing is less than +- 0.15% of the background.
z'-filter fringe frame.
i'-filter fringe frame, median filtered with a box 17 pixels by 17 pixels in order to increase the signal-to-noise to make the fringes more apparent.
A z'-band science frame without fringe subtraction. Note the fringing is much weaker than in the original EEV CCDs as shown above.
A comparison of z'-band fringing between the original and upgraded EEV CCDs:
This shows a cut along a single column. Fringing in the new DD E2V CCDs in the z'-band is about a tenth as strong as in the original EEV CCDs.

News Release
Service Identifies Habitat to Support Northern Spotted Owl Recovery
Action important part of comprehensive recovery plan that includes Barred Owl management, active forest management and protection of key habitat;
Final plan excludes private lands; Reflects scientific, stakeholder feedback
November 21, 2012
Media Contacts:
Joan Jewett, 503-231-6211, firstname.lastname@example.com
Miel Corbett, 503-231-2111, email@example.com
Today, in compliance with an order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) finalized a science-based proposal identifying lands in the Pacific Northwest that are essential to the survival and recovery of the northern spotted owl.
The final designation, based on the best available science and including feedback from experts, regional stakeholders, land management agencies and public comment, reduces the amount of critical habitat in California, Oregon and Washington that was proposed last February by 4.2 million acres. All private lands and the significant majority of state lands identified in the proposal have been excluded from the final rule.
The 2011 revised Recovery Plan for the Northern Spotted Owl identified three main priorities for achieving spotted owl recovery: reducing competition from barred owls, actively managing forests to improve forest health, and protecting the best of the spotted owl's remaining habitat. Today's action is an important step in the Service's work with federal and state agencies and other partners to accelerate the owl's recovery, while supporting active management of forests with ecological timber harvests. The Service is also working on a concurrent strategy to manage barred owl populations. The overall spotted owl population is declining at a rate of 2.9 percent per year – leading to an estimated 40% decline in numbers over the last 25 years.
In finalizing the critical habitat designation, the Service considered information received from land management agencies, the public, and scientific peer reviewers, as well as analysis of the economic impacts of potential designations and conservation efforts already in place that could preclude the need for designating some areas.
The Service's identification of 9.29 million acres of critical habitat on federal land and 291,570 acres on state land will provide federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, with the information they need to ensure protection for remaining old growth forests, while implementing ecological timber harvests to improve habitat and its resilience to wildfire and insect infestations. Designation of critical habitat state lands, primarily in Oregon, will have almost no impact on either the state's management of those lands or the timber harvest on those lands.
"We applied the best available science to identify the remaining habitat essential to the spotted owl's recovery – and to ensure that our recovery partners have the clarity and flexibility they need to make effective land management decisions," said Robyn Thorson, Director of the Service's Pacific Region. "We fully support conservation strategies and forest treatments that restore the health and natural dynamics of entire forest ecosystems to sustain all their many values."
A critical habitat designation only affects federal actions in designated areas. Designations do not provide additional protection on non-federal lands unless proposed activities involve federal funding or permitting. "Improved forest health is important for recovery of the northern spotted owl," said Kent Connaughton, Regional Forester for the USFS Pacific Northwest Region. "We are actively managing National Forest lands to create more resilient ecosystems, improve wildlife habitat, and benefit communities."
"The BLM and the USFWS have worked together to try to find the sweet spot – providing for the required conservation of the northern spotted owl and recognizing the importance of BLM lands to the social fabric of western Oregon. This rule is a direct result of those interactions" said Jerome Perez, Oregon/Washington State Director for BLM. "We look forward to this continued collaboration as we carry forward the concept of active management and spotted owl conservation into our project and land use planning."
Paul Henson, State Supervisor of the Service's Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office, noted that "lands designated as critical habitat are not a reserve in the traditional sense. In many places, they should be actively managed to benefit spotted owls or meet other important conservation goals.
This announcement comports with the President's Executive Order on regulatory reform and a Presidential Memorandum directing the Department of the Interior to give careful consideration, to the extent permitted by law and science, to providing the maximum exclusion of areas from the final rule. Today's announcement also provides clear direction for industry and other stakeholders on how ecological forestry can be conducted as part of the final rule.
The northern spotted owl was protected under the Endangered Species Act as a threatened species in 1990. Today's critical habitat decision revises a 2008 critical habitat designation in response to a court order. The Service is working to integrate spotted owl recovery efforts within plans for a healthy, resilient Northwest forest landscape, building on the tenets of the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan.

Has anyone seen "Fanzoids"? It is an independent documentary about Star Wars fans and it also looks at the line for EP1 in 1999.
It has a fan displaying his collection, and even a woman who drives an "X-Wing" toyota!! It is a great film if you love Star Wars and you enjoy seeing other fans. I personally think it is funny in some spots (mainly the guy who is obsessed with collecting) because it reminds me so much of myself!! If you havent seen it, go get it and check it out. I got mine at Suncoast on DVD for $19.95. It also has a commentary by director Kevin Smith.

Raph, for Python optimization, take a look at Psyco, the Python specializing compiler. It's been making quite a bit of progress lately.
In general the Python core developers are turning their attention to performance improvements more than they have in the past, so we may have some speedups coming up from that direction as well.
Another interesting development is the Parrot virtual machine. Work on speedups there (JITs, etc) could help any Python that runs on top of it, but that's further in the future.

We thank our member society, the BC SPCA for allowing us to include this information and their factsheets on our website.
Over one million dairy cattle are raised on farms in Canada under a variety of conditions.
B.C.'s dairy cattle have freedom of movement in concrete pens and sleep in bed stalls usually padded with sand, sawdust, or a rubber mat. Unfortunately, concrete floors and bed stalls can cause painful sores on cows' legs and feet and on most farms, cattle are rarely given access to pasture. As a result, over 25% of high-producing dairy cows in B.C. are clinically lame – on some farms this figure exceeds 50%.
Painful procedures also cause concern for the welfare of dairy cattle. All heifers (female dairy calves) are dehorned at a young age in order to prevent injury to each other or to people later in life. Using a procedure called "disbudding", the small emerging horn bud is usually prevented from growing by burning the tissue with a hot iron or a caustic chemical paste.
Some dairy farmers also amputate their tails at a young age for worker comfort and other reasons. It was thought that by removing the tail, which can become covered in manure, risk of udder infections would decrease, but research at the University of British Columbia recently disproved this.
In 2008 and 2009, the BC SPCA worked with farmers, scientists, veterinarians and government agencies to design Canada's new Codes of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, which address many of these issues. Click here to read more about what these new Codes require.

First, she's not qualified to be a corporate exec. Second, those who are and earn that type of money WORK FULL TIME! Third, those who are qualified and work full time, aren't getting that kind of money because their husbands are shuffling money toward their wive's company from government contracts from a committee he's on to give her company the money to pay her salary.
Who else in the world who organizes programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity, and minority contracting makes that kind of money???
Give me ONE example of someone doing that job, working part-time, and earns that much money in an honest way, and I'll get over it. Until then, I'll continue being pissed about someone wasting tax payer dollars for personal gain.
If you're not pissed about that kind of thing, then I guess you can just keep drinking koolaid and become a subject of the USSA.

Boeing's (BA) stock price soared in 2013, but it's looked more like Icarus in 2014.
Shares of Boeing have dropped 5.5% this year after returning 84% in 2013, thanks to an earnings report that painted a picture of a bright past but a murky future.
Morgan Stanley's John Godyn and team believe Boeing is still worth buying. They explain why:
As most investors are aware, BA has a long history of issuing conservative guidance. On reporting 4Q13, BA's 2014 FCF guidance of ~$3.75B was down meaningfully vs. 2013's $6.1B, a big surprise for most. Mgmt cited several factors when expanding upon its FCF guidance, including favorable timing of receipts and expenditures in 2013, higher cash tax payments specifically related to improved 787 unit cost, fewer 767 deliveries and a one time bonus payment to the IAM that was negotiated in the recent contact extension – though didn't quantify each of these factors except the ~$300M IAM payment. While we recognize these factors as headwinds that were not explicitly in our 2014 forecast, we have trouble reconciling their likely magnitude with the magnitude of the miss. Therefore, we can only conclude there is a large degree of conservatism layered into mgmt's guidance – a theme supported by BA's historical performance…
…we believe valuation is attractive and that post 4Q13 EPS weakness is a buying opportunity.
Shares of Boeing have dropped 0.4% to $128.99 today at 12:56 p.m., while Airbus (EADSY) has gained 1.4% to $18.16 and Embraer (ERJ) has dropped 0.9% to $33.38.

ROTJ aside...does anyone know if the lost Anchorhead scenes from ANH are being included? Anyone?
ROTJ aside...does anyone know if the lost Anchorhead scenes from ANH are being included? Anyone?
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I was very excited to see that scene, it's quite interesting. I love anything to do with Luke's ROTJ lightsaber, so hearing the audience go nuts when they see it was great. That said, I TOTALLY see why this was pulled from the film. Not only does it detract from the reveal of the lightsaber later, but Vader's dialog is totally corny, "LUUUUUUKE! LUUUUUUUUUUuuuuUUUuuke!" - WTF, is he a Scooby Doo villain pretending to be a ghost?
Honestly, this argument reminds me too much of the audiophile complaints about digital music vs. the "warmth" of analog music media (that "warmth" being the inaccuracies of the needle-to-groove format, the rest is still available either via settings or if one wants to drop the cash on the tube experience to amplify digital music.)
This doesn't take into account newer codecs, which Blu-Ray has that DVD has not. The Blu-Ray player is designed for more efficient codecs and with more system resources than a DVD player, and a Blu-Ray player is designed to be adaptive to change where a DVD player is a static device that never upgrades or adds new codecs.And how is it able to display so many scan lines, when DVD cannot, and both are discs of the same size that are "played" using a laser beam (regardless of color)? It's the amount of space available. A DVD cannot hold enough data to convey the same number of scan lines that a blu-ray can. The advantage that a blu-ray has is that the data can be stored more densely (IIRC, due to the shorter wavelength of the blue laser) on a blu-ray than on a DVD, thus allowing it to store the same movie in more detail.
The resulting quality difference is somewhat similar to saving an image as a JPG for the web vs a TIF or PSD for print--for the web, the image has to be saved in a smaller form for quick transmission and display on a wide range of monitors and, thus, has to be compressed in a manner that will result in loss of quality; the print version is usually at 300 or 600 dpi (or, in some cases, higher) and is designed for reproduction in a form that allows far more possible colors than a monitor (theoretically infinite vs millions), and has to be much, much bigger. So you can e-mail a web image easily, but the IT Department at your job might get upset if you try to e-mail an image intended for print without finding some way to compress it first.
Just because an old movie is old doesn't mean that it's being "made" gorgeous, sometimes capturing it digitally is totally true to the original. Look at these photographs as an analogy to what I'm saying:
Those were taken in the early '40s and look like they could have been shot much more recently without any tampering at all.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I could be totally wrong, but I thought Steve Sansweet was discussing this on the Forcecast at some point after he unofficially announced this back at Comic Con or whenever it was. As I recall, he said it would also be coming on DVD, since so many people still haven't upgraded. But if it does come out that way again, I assume it'll be like The Clone Wars releases, where the Blu-Ray has more features that the DVD doesn't.Originally Posted by JediTricks

This will probably be what finally convinces me to buy a Blu-Ray player.
It would be kind of a bummer if it's an "all or nothing" type of set where I'd have to buy all six films at once, but I'm sure that they will be available individually later on to cater to the more casual Blu-Ray consumer. All I really care about is the ROTJ cut scenes, though. Hopefully, we'll see some extra stuff from the Skiff Battle.

As for Lucas' artistic vision, we all know what that is: to envision himself with as much money as possible. So, I'm sure we'll see the original versions someday.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Now, if Spielberg will have enough sense to release ET and the Indiana Jones quartet with all of THEIR deleted scenes finally included as extras, I'll be rebuying more than the trilogy to make my blu-ray player worth it!
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I will just rent a Blue-Ray player, then.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
The cost of preparing the original cuts for a blu-ray has been way overstated, in the belief that people won't know any better. It actually wouldn't be more than something like The Last Starfighter or Friday the 13th Part 2. just sayin'

not the usual pre natal Vitamins..
Hi, I would like to ask if is it possible for me to take the usual vitamins e.g multivitamins and calcium which is not prescribed by the OB-GYNE? Ive been taking the multivitamins that was given to me but they are not the ones for pregnant. Do they have the same benefits? What vitamins should I be taking now that Im 18weeks pregnant? Im confused and would like to be enlightened.

You should be taking a pregnancy-specific vitamin if you are able to stomach. Pregnant women require higher percentages of some nutrients than non-pregnant women, DHA and folic acid are a good example. Taking any vitamin is better than none. Eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water also helps to ensure you are getting what you need. However, prenatal vitamins- prescribed or over the counter- are usually best.
6th August 2012 07:45 AM #3
In order to save money you may be able to finish the multi-vitamins you are taking now and then with your next bottle, start with a high quality prenatal.
As mom2many mentioned, typically, the Prenatal vitamins have added DHA and more folic acid. You could get a bottle of folic acid and just take an extra one of those each day to get about 800 mcg. total.
Be sure you're drinking plenty of pure water, limiting your sugar and "junk food" intake, getting enough high quality protein (i.e. eggs, fish, meat, poultry) and getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Warm regards,

hi mom2many, ill keep that in mind. The truth is, Im not the veggie type of person but Im trying my very best to ingest something green on my diet. Ive already switched to a pre natal vitamins, I started just last week..
Hello 5Homebirths4Kate, as what Ive told mom2many, Ive already switched to a pre natal vitamin just last week . Ive done your advise too, to limit my sugar and junk food intake and have been eating fruits and "little" greens.
I feel a lot better now that Im 20wks. Its like my energy level went up .
19th August 2012 02:25 PM #5
You can try focusing on fruits, and make some yummy fruit smoothies. Add the greens in with them and you'll barely notice them, but you'll be getting that good chlorophyll from the greens.
Glad you're feeling better!
Warm regards,
19th August 2012 05:05 PM #6
I agree with Kate on the smoothies! You'd be surprised how awesome a great fruit smoothie, with just a few veggies mixed in can taste. The sugar in the fruit totally hides the vegetable taste. Smoothies are a great way to get some extra nutrition. That is one of the biggest ways I sneak an extra dose of veggies into the diets of my children.

With leukoplakia (loo-koh-PLAY-key-uh), thickened, white patches form on your gums, the insides of your cheeks, the bottom of your mouth and, sometimes, your tongue. These patches can't be scraped off.
Doctors don't know what causes leukoplakia but consider tobacco — whether smoked, dipped or chewed — to be the main culprit in its development.
Leukoplakia usually isn't dangerous, but it can sometimes be serious. Although most leukoplakia patches are noncancerous (benign), some show early signs of cancer. Many cancers on the floor of the mouth — beneath the tongue — occur next to areas of leukoplakia. For that reason, it's best to see your dentist if you have unusual, persistent changes in your mouth.

HID Headlight Kits Information
HID Headlight Kits
HID conversion kits are a great way to increase your visibility and add a stylish look to your car. HID, or high intensity discharge headlights are an increasingly popular aftermarket add-on for off-road or show vehicles as they are available in a wide variety of colors and levels of brightness. The color of an HID headlight is indicated by the color temperature, rated in Kelvin (K). Bulbs with a temperature around 4300K-5000K are considered a "natural" or "warm" white, and will offer the most output of any color. As the rating in K gets higher, the bulbs will progressively become a darker and darker blue, with the light output decreasing as a result. Bulbs around 10000K-12000K are considered Deep Blue or Violet.
These HID kits are available in sizes to fit nearly every car, including popular 9006, 9007, H4 and H11 varieties as well as many more. Inexpensive budget kits will usually feature analog ballasts, whereas higher-end kits will include longer-lasting digital ballasts. Most HID kits available these days utilize DC ballasts, which are longer lasting and more reliable than AC ballasts, and many feature slim designs to cut down on space requirements under the hood. Our HID conversion kits will allow you to quickly and easily transform your traditional halogen headlamps into high-intensity discharge headlamps. Remember, these kits are designed for off-road use only; make sure to check all state and federal regulations before installing HID headlights in your vehicle.
HID Headlights
One of today's most popular vehicle modifications, HID headlights are a great way to increase the light output of your headlights. HID stands for High Intensity Discharge, and represents a lighting technology which uses Xenon gas instead of a traditional filament. When the lights are turned on, a high voltage is applied, igniting the gas and creating an arc of light more than 3x brighter than traditional halogen bulbs.
HID's consist of the physical bulb housing itself, and then a separate ballast which protects the bulb and ensures proper operation by controlling the incoming current. Although the intensity of HID's makes them extremely efficient compared to standard halogen bulbs, it is still often useful to use an HID relay kit to increase the current flow to the ballast to ensure longevity of the bulb, especially in older vehicles and heavy trucks. For some CAN-BUS and other computer controlled vehicles, you may need a CAN-BUS or error code canceller to avoid any "false alarm" warning lights. An anti-flickering cable may also be useful, as it will help stabilize the voltage and prevent flickering from the HID bulbs.
Understanding HID Color Temperature
The color of an HID can be determined by looking for the Color Temperature. The higher this number (K), the more blue/violet the light becomes. As the color gets more and more blue, the usable light will actually dramatically decrease. For this reason, lights between the yellow 3000K to the bright white 6000K are recommended for optimum visibility.

Asian-style lettuce wraps are within reach with this 30-minute recipe.
Look for Thai or Asian peanut sauce in the ethnic-foods section of the grocery store.
Other tender leaf lettuce can be used in this recipe. Or use small pieces of iceberg lettuce to make lettuce cups instead of wraps.
Rotisserie chicken or refrigerated cooked chicken breast strips, cut into small strips, would work well in this recipe too.

Iraqi women activists to speak, Dec. 4
Posted November 26, 2003; 02:17 p.m.
Two Iraqi women activists will discuss their experiences of living through wars and sanctions and address current conditions in their country in a lecture at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Amal Al-Khedairy and Nermin Al-Mufti are working to provide a greater understanding of their country and bring a message of reconciliation and peace to the United States. They will discuss the condition of women and children in their country, their present problems and their hopes for a more peaceful future.
Al-Khedairy is the founder and curator of Al Beit Al Iraq Cultural Arts Center, which was a leading cultural institution in Baghdad. The museum was bombed in 1991 and again in 2003, then finally looted and burned.
Al-Mufti is an internationally recognized Iraqi writer and journalist, who has reported on corruption, gender issues, human rights, environmental issues and education for international and Iraqi publications.
The event was organized by the Princeton Peace Network . It is co-sponsored by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies and the University's International Center, Women's Center and Office of Religious Life, as well as the Princeton Middle East Society and the Coalition for Peace Action.
