Timing SHMEM Calls and Compiler OptimizationAnother exercise from last week's T3D class showed some interesting effects of compiler optimization choices on shmem_get speeds. There is a very comprehensive man page on denali for the shmem_get and shmem_put calls. (Just try "man shmem".) For the shmem_get call, a user specifies a local target array and its length to be filled by an array from another PE.
Below is a simple program for timing the speed of shmem_get calls for messages of increasing size. The program below times 6 shmem_get calls of size 8, 80, 800, 8000, 80000, and 800000 bytes. Using these times and sizes we can get a speed for the shmem_get call as a function of message size. This program does all of its timings on PE0 and times shmem_get calls when the data is both on and off PE0. (A shmem_get of memory local is done better with just a copy.)
program sh parameter( NMAX = 100 000 ) real a( NMAX ), b( NMAX ), c( NMAX ) INTRINSIC MY_PE integer DONE CDIR$ SHARED DONE DONE = 0 do 10 i = 1, NMAX a( i ) = i 10 continue me = MY_PE() n = 1 if( me .eq. 0 ) then do 100 i = 1, 6 t1 = second( ) call shmem_get( a, b, n, 0 ) t2 = second( ) call shmem_get( a, c, n, 1 ) t3 = second( ) rmb = 8*n/1000000.0 write(6,600)i,n,t2-t1,t3-t2,rmb/(t2-t1),rmb/(t3-t2) n = n * 10 100 continue DONE = 1 else 1 continue if( DONE .eq. 0 ) goto 1 endif 600 format( i4, i7, f10.6, f10.6, f10.2, f10.2 ) do 200 i = 1, NMAX if( i .ne. b( i ) ) then write( 6, 601 ) i, a( i ), b( i ) stop endif if( i .ne. c( i ) ) then write( 6, 602 ) i, a( i ), b( i ) stop endif 200 continue end 601 format( "b is bad ", i10, f10.1, f10.1 ) 602 format( "c is bad ", i10, f10.1, f10.1 ) real function second( ) second = float( irtc( ) ) / 150000000.0 endThe typical output for running this program is:
/mpp/bin/cf77 -Wf" " -c shmem.f mppldr shmem.o a.out 1 1 0.000016 0.000009 0.50 0.91 2 10 0.000011 0.000011 7.13 7.49 3 100 0.000017 0.000029 47.92 27.27 4 1000 0.000073 0.000211 109.51 37.93 5 10000 0.000692 0.002137 115.66 37.44 6 100000 0.006769 0.020570 118.19 38.89The major problem with this result is that the program hangs. As the program was written all PEs other than PE0 just spin, waiting for the DONE variable to change from 0 to 1. At the default level of compiler optimization the compiler doesn't recognize the the variable DONE is SHARED and might be changed by some other PE. So the spin loop has no way of being stopped. Compiling with optimization off produces this output:
/mpp/bin/cf77 -Wf" -o off " -c shmem.f mppldr shmem.o a.out 1 1 0.000019 0.000009 0.43 0.88 2 10 0.000012 0.000011 6.66 7.08 3 100 0.000020 0.000031 40.40 25.67 4 1000 0.000092 0.000223 86.58 35.82 5 10000 0.000860 0.002107 93.00 37.96 6 100000 0.008549 0.021146 93.57 37.83This time the program properly ends but the performance of the shmem_gets have taken a nasty performance hit on the local PE transfer. It has been suggested that by using the CDIR$ SUPPRESS directive the compiler will not optimize away correct behavior but will retain speed elsewhere in the code. I changed the class exercise to:
. . . else 1 continue CDIR$ SUPPRESS DONE if( DONE .eq. 0 ) goto 1 endif . . .And the program runs correctly (i.e., doesn't hang, and correctly transfers the data) but the performance hit is another surprise:
/mpp/bin/cf77 -Wf" " -c shmemq.f mppldr shmemq.o a.out 1 1 0.000020 0.000011 0.39 0.74 2 10 0.000015 0.000014 5.42 5.81 3 100 0.000027 0.000046 29.99 17.28 4 1000 0.000159 0.000375 50.24 21.30 5 10000 0.001154 0.002900 69.33 27.58 6 100000 0.011401 0.028644 70.17 27.93This time even the transfers off PE0 took a performance hit. This is counterintuitive. The CDIR$ SUPPRESS worked but has less performance than the original solution.
In the general case on the T3D, I think that it would be safest to develop code with optimization off and then when the program behaves correctly optimization can be turned on. If with optimization turned on, the program doesn't work correctly then the sensitive sections might be isolated in separate compilation units and compiled without optimization. In this one case CDIR$ SUPPRESS didn't seem to be very useful.
Timers on the T3DThis subject seems more complicated than it needs to be and I'll be putting out more detailed information in the future but for now, here's a summary of the timers available on the T3D:
timer Wallclock Fortran T3D or Granularity Resolution or CPU timer or C Y-MP T3D Y-MP T3D Y-MP irtc wallclock Fortran both ~.15um ~.2um rtc wallclock Fortran both ~.30um ~.3um tsecnd CPU Fortran both 10000um 3um gettimeofday wallclock C both ~2500um ~30um second CPU Fortran Y-MP 1um 5umnotes:
- Anything in Fortran or C is callable from the other language but with a additional overhead
- um = microseconds (.000001 of a second)
- Without multiprogramming on the T3D, wallclock is CPU time
- Resolution is from the Livermore Loops benchmark
- Granularity is measured with the program in Newsletter #11
- There are man pages on each of these functions
RemindersThe current list of differences between the T3D and the Y-MP is:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)
- Uninitialized variables are different (Newsletter #6)
- The effect of the -a static compiler switch (Newsletter #7)
- There is no GETENV on the T3D (Newsletter #8)
- Missing routine SMACH on T3D (Newsletter #9)
- Different Arithmetics (Newsletter #9)
- Different clock granularities for gettimeofday (Newsletter #11)
Upcoming Upgrade on ARSC T3D SoftwareARSC will be upgrading the T3D software to CrayLib_M 184.108.40.206, MAX 18.104.22.168 and SCC_M 220.127.116.11 on December 4th.
We are asking users to submit their codes to be part of our regression test suite. We are looking for relatively small, short running, self contained programs in source form that are currently running correctly. The advantage of submitting your code is that it will be one of the first programs run on a new T3D release and so if it doesn't work we wouldn't install the new T3D software. Otherwise your program may fail after the new T3D software has become the default.
PE LimitsAt ARSC, most production runs can be handled by the 32 PE NQS queue. The use of large partitions of 64 or 128 PEs seems restricted to research problems of the "what if..." type. Basically, development is done on smaller partitions and then to complete a table of performance or problem sizes the larger partitions are used.
We have been accommodating this situation by individually changing a user's interactive permissions with the understanding that users would share their results with us. We are in the process of notifying users of the change in this policy. In the future we will reset everyone back to the default settings and then make it easy for users to request changes that will be in affect for a short time period (perhaps a week per request).
Next Week's NewsletterNext week, I will be at Supercomputing '94 and there will be no newsletter. I'd like to meet, in person, the members of the ARSC T3D users group, so if you stop by the ARSC booth we can talk or arrange a meeting. Also I have poster #23 in the poster session; you can also catch me there.

LATE Post!
TRU La Cienega, I stashed an Iron Monger and Iron Man Mark I,.. the cards were a bit rolled at the top. It looked like they may have been a stash that had been found and placed back on the pegs (since NO other I.M. figs were there). The stash is not the best I've done. They were there at 4:45pm this evening. PM me for a location
Hide it, Post it, and PM it.
Alhambra TRU has at least a dozen SA 501st Troopers...and that's after I picked up a squad of 5.
Wouldn't it be nice if TRU believed in Target style clearances and could get rid of their grossly over priced Bantha sets and Hyperspace Rings?
Target Redondo beach Galleria had some FU wave. I stashed a Evo trooper, jumptrooper, and shadow guard. PM for details.
URGENT URGENT URGENT: I still need a Walmart exclusive Iron Man (War Machine). Anyone still seeing them? STASH OR BUY ME IT PLEASE PLEASE.
edit: STASH HAS BEEN CLAIMED!
"still"? I think they'll be around for awhile, like the WM-exclusive Spideys & Venoms were last year. IM hasn't even hit a lot of stores yet!
Should be gettin my 501st today, as I got my Joe Breaker/Destro, CG/Scarface, and red sitting Pit Droids yesterday from HTS. Ordered separately, but same day.
In 'clizm's defense, Walmart has never really been all that great with their exclusives. For instance, I never once saw the Marvel Legends 2-packs on the shelf, never saw the Neyo speederbikes, never saw the Walmart exclusive Giant-Man wave of Marvel Legends past their initial release, etc. Seems if you miss 'em the first time around, you're out of luck.
The Spider-Man exclusives sat around because they were not in the same scale as the rest of the Marvel Legends and therefore less desireable.

I've looked a little at .obj and .dae (collada?) but I'm not sure what to pick.
I want something that is free, is used alot for both hobbyists and professionals and has good existing parser libraries (if possible) for C++. I would also like simplicity since I'm still new to 3D programming, but at the same time I don't want to hit a brick wall later on.

So last week Amazon had all wave 1 on sale for $16, I grabbed another Sandtrooper to replace my second defecto, and got Luke. I now have all of wave 1.
Sandtrooper, 3rd pass, finally a keeper - surprisingly decent paint, no broken parts, helmet mostly matches. Still some bald white here and there. There are a couple issues I noticed that I think have been overlooked so far, the helmet is too wide for the ANH Sandtrooper costume, it's too jowly. Also, the backpack is sitting too high, I haven't seen a single trooper image where they're wearing it at mid-helmet like this, they're always below the shoulders, that'd translate into sitting at least 9" too high; it's also about 10% too big.
Luke X-wing Pilot - another lucky get, the paint is pretty decent on the white flak vest. Out of package and posed, the hips aren't as obviously oversized. Sculpting and paint are pretty good, the small eyes work well. The painted face isn't too bad, I'm more annoyed at the orange paint over black plastic forearms, it gets away with it but it's hardly perfect at the joints. Better than I expected at this price, but I can see why I would have been more harsh at full price.
The fact that you have some "it's all good between $10 and $75" range is a little weird to me, there's a massive variety there, the GG mini bust line has lived its whole life in there.
Here's my problem with the "Hasbro is McDonalds" argument, it's both true and seems to actively be getting worse, yet Hasbro is pushing these as a gourmet product line that is intended to get away with that, they have gone out of their way to present the line as partnering with one of the best collector companies in the Star Wars licensee pantheon - Gentle Giant - when it's obvious that Hasbro's factory just takes the great sculpts and paint and churns them into something far less than they should be to save money for Hasbro's bottom line.
Hasbro is showing issues on planning, budgeting, and styling with Star Wars, my guess is that the license cost has eaten itself into the brand too heavily, but it could also be about the specific factory in China. That factory is ultimately who produces the final sculpts, they interpret all the quality work Hasbro does into the cut steel molds, and that factory is the bottleneck of choices.
The figure is still authentic with or without his gun and lightsaber. Yes, Hasbro could have sculpted an expensive, complicated gunbelt (because in ESB the holster is on a separate gunbelt that is attached to the outer weather jacket, not the flight suit itself, so they'd have to cheat) but that'd be a waste of budget.
Yes, it's clearly from ANH, the outfit is only used in ANH, the facial sculpt and hair are specific to ANH (Mark Hamill's face was badly injured after filming ANH, so it has some different structure in ESB), even the lightsaber itself is specific to ANH (in ESB, the prop changed a few little elements such as the red button under the emitter as well as on top). Like the Sandtrooper, they really did go for more authenticity with these, and I consider that a good thing.Honest question. Is the Black Series figure specifically from ANH? Is there a possibility it could be from ESB too? Once again I'm just seriously asking.

Eisgruber invites new students to embrace the 'honor world' at Princeton
Posted September 8, 2013; 07:45 p.m.
As Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber welcomed the incoming Class of 2017 at Opening Exercises on Sept. 8, he told students they shared an important connection.
"I will always feel a special bond with those of you who arrive here as the Class of 2017 because this year we will embark on exciting new Princeton journeys together," he said.
In his first formal speech to students as president, Eisgruber — who took office on July 1 — expounded on the joys of collegiate life, the unanticipated possibilities that lie ahead and the ways in which honor shapes the Princeton experience and the individual.
The interdenominational service traditionally marks the start of each academic year. Classes begin Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Students filed into the chapel in groups representing Princeton's six residential colleges, each led by a student carrying a colorful banner bearing the college shield. The procession was bookended by African drummers, and faculty members and administrators in traditional academic robes and regalia.
As the students took their seats, some looked skyward at the awe-inspiring architecture, others peeked over their shoulders to take in the sea of fellow freshmen, and many waved to new friends — the crowd awash in multicolored light from the sunshine streaming in the chapel's stained glass windows.
The ceremony, a tradition dating to at least 1802, included music and an invocation by Alison Boden, dean of religious life and of the chapel. Valerie Smith, dean of the college, recognized the recipients of undergraduate academic prizes. Also on the program were student readings from various religious and philosophical traditions, as well as a prayer and benediction given by Deborah Blanks, associate dean of religious life and the chapel.
Calling the incoming class "an extraordinarily accomplished, inspiring and diverse group," Eisgruber noted that the 1,286 students hail from 46 states, as well as the District of Columbia and 54 countries outside of the United States. He added that this year's 582 new graduate students come from 230 colleges and universities around the world, "further exemplifying that Princeton is indeed a truly global institution."

This summer Eisgruber, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Public Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the University Center for Human Values, gave students their first assignment. He sent them a letter and a book to read — "The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen" by Kwame Anthony Appiah, the Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values — as part of an introduction to the intellectual life of the University.
Eisgruber dubbed the assignment "the Princeton Pre-read," a brand new tradition to complement another established in 2004 —the "pre-rade," in which the new class of freshmen exit the Opening Exercises ceremony and march together, entering Princeton through FitzRandolph Gate, greeted by upperclassmen and alumni.

With more than a hint of humor, Eisgruber, a member of the Class of 1983, said in his welcoming remarks that while he remembers many details of his own orientation week 34 years ago, he remembers nothing about what then-President William G. Bowen told the new class — a fact he recalled with some relief as he sat down to pen his first ceremonial address as president. "I found it rather liberating," he said, followed by ripples of laughter from the students.
"What you won't remember will not help you, but it cannot harm you, either," he said, which induced even more hearty laughter from the audience.
What he hoped the students would remember, however, is the question that motivates Appiah's book: "the question of what it means to live a successful human life," he said. "Professor Appiah believes, as do I, that living well has at least two parts to it: living a life that makes you happy, and living a life that is of service to others.
Students from Butler College, along with their classmates who filled the pews and balcony of the chapel, read from the printed program. (Photo by Denise Applewhite, Office of Communications)
"One of the reasons that Princeton's students and alumni so treasure their time on this campus is that they feel a connection to a larger purpose while they are here," Eisgruber said. "Indeed, one of the great gifts of college life, and one of the defining insights of liberal arts education, is that you can and must prepare for important things to come without knowing exactly what they are."
Acknowledging that the future of each freshman student is "for now unwritten," Eisgruber pressed the students to consider Appiah's specific concern with honor.
Quoting from Appiah's book, Eisgruber stated that honor "can help to sustain us in our pursuit of our own good. … [I]t is … an engine, fueled by the dialogue between our self-conceptions and the regard of others, that can drive us to take seriously our responsibilities in a world we share."

He said a pertinent example is Princeton's own Honor Code, established in 1893, which requires students to take full responsibility for honesty during in-class examinations.
"It insists not only that you observe basic principles of scholarly integrity in your own work, but also that you also care deeply about the scholarly integrity of your fellow students," Eisgruber said.
He noted, too, that in "The Honor Code" Appiah traces the historical examples of honor that can lead to self-destructive behavior, including dueling. Eisgruber asked students to consider modern-day examples of self-destructive behavior, in particular hazing rituals.
The sword fights that German fraternities once used to initiate new members were known as academic duels — and the resulting scars "badges of honor." Eisgruber pointed to today's hazing weapon of choice: alcohol.
"The behavior is equally driven by a desperate desire for social esteem, equally self-destructive, and, if anything more lethal — unfortunately, studies indicate that at least one American college student dies in college hazing rituals in the United States each year," he said.

Honor can ennoble or degrade, Eisgruber told the students, and depends on the values and practices of a community — what Appiah describes as one's "honor world."
"When you arrived on this campus a few days ago, you became part of Princeton's honor world, a community devoted to learning, to integrity, to being 'in the nation's service and in the service of all nations,'" Eisgruber said.
He pressed the students to take advantage of this community of people who share similar ideals — but sometimes disagree.
"Learn from them. Question them. Question yourself. Rarely if ever again will you find yourself in contact with so many thoughtful people who can help you reflect upon your life project — what, in days gone by, people might have referred to as your calling," he said.
He encouraged them to embrace a multitude of opportunities in the coming four years of undergraduate life both in and out of the classroom, on the playing fields and in the arts, all while immersing themselves in the camaraderie of fellow students that characterizes the Princeton experience.
"If you are like most Princetonians who have come before you, you will not find your calling until sometime after you graduate from this University," Eisgruber said. "But if you are like most Princetonians who came before you, you will also find that it helps to start asking the relevant questions sooner rather than later."

He closed his remarks with another University tradition: bestowing upon the incoming class the affectionate moniker "Princeton's great Class of 2017."
"Welcome to Princeton!" Eisgruber exclaimed amid cheers that reverberated throughout the chapel.
Following the ceremony, the chapel doors opened as the students, wide grins across their faces, streamed out into a clear-skied bright afternoon dabbed with the first subtle scent of turning leaves, to begin officially their undergraduate experience.
Opening Exercises was videotaped and will be archived online for viewing.

Make jolly snowmen cake pops this holiday season that are (almost) too cute to eat.
You don't have to make 48 cake pops at one time. Cut the cake into 3 equal pieces. One piece will make about 16 cake pops, and you can freeze the rest of the cake for another time. Use only one bag of candy coating to coat the 16 cake pops, and remember to also use only 1/3 cup frosting.
Several brands of candy coating are available, and each may melt a bit differently. The white color varies, and when melted, some are thinner than others. Make a note of the brand you prefer to work with, and watch carefully while melting.
Looking for extra tips on how to make these adorable cake pops? Check out Bakerella's blog for a step-by-step guide. And for more fun ideas shop her brand new book: Cake Pop Holidays.

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (375ML half-bottle) 2009
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Dense purple with a reddish-purple edge. Red and black currents, violets and other perfumed flowers, all anchored by fantastic loamy earth and concentrated minerals. Medium to full bodied mouth feel with full mouth aftertaste. Powerful concentrated dark berry fruits are elevated by brighter red fruits but then are counterbalanced by earth, leather and graphite like minerals. The fruit and earth components are so tightly woven that once you grasped one element, the wine moves into another.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is rich, sumptuous and totally gorgeous. Plums, black currants, blackberries, menthol, licorice and sweet herbs jump from the glass as this intense, full-bodied wine shows off its considerable personality. Layers of fruit flow effortlessly as the 2009 continues to open up over time. This is a gorgeous 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
Rating: 96+"
Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards
Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards are located just east of St. Helena in the Napa Valley where Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain. Twenty-six acres of vineyards, divided into nine blocks, along with a fifteen acre-foot reservoir are the heart of this 40-acre grape-growing paradise.
Separated from the Napa Valley floor by a north/south running ridge, the world-renowned wineries of Joseph Heitz and Joseph Phelps are located on the west side of this ridge and the Anderson's Estate Vineyards are on the east side at a perfect elevation of 400 feet.
The vineyards not only enjoy Napa Valley's superb microclimate, but share the same Bale Loam Series as are found on the famous Rutherford Bench. This combination of clay-loam soil and microclimate produces up to 106 tons of exceptional fruit each year. One from which a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blend, called Éloge, can be artfully handcrafted. View all Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Carol Abbe sat very still on the international flight taking her from Beirut to Taipei. The year was 1968. Carol was 21 years old, and she was in the middle of the first of what would turn out to be three trips to the Middle East and Asia — where she spent most of her time in Afghanistan — over a four-year period. She was wearing a "tent dress," something hardly out of the ordinary during an era when hippies proudly attuned themselves to peasant culture. What was out of the ordinary, if anyone could have seen it, was the multi-pocketed white vest she wore underneath her billowing frock. In the vest pockets, Carol had 20 4.5-pound gold bars strapped to her 5'11" frame — not an overly burdensome amount of weight ordinarily, but she was confined to an airplane seat for 18 hours.
It has been said that one ounce of gold can be hammered into a sheet that will cover 100 square feet. Gold smugglers get paid to be a hardy lot.
The flight was Pan Am One. Like a VW bus in the sky, it carried people around the world. People had sex all over that plane, Carol remembers, and dropped acid like late-'60s hippies were supposed to. "Doing drugs was definitely expected, sure," she laughs, swatting her hand through the air as if free love and acid were simple givens.
Today Carol is a middle-aged woman who lives in Northampton and works in residential real estate. And today, of course, Afghanistan is not the sort of place where a young American can wander aimlessly in search of adventure and expanded consciousness. Then, Carol dropped acid in the Hindu Kush; 29 years later, American fighter jets are dropping bombs on suspected Al Qaeda training camps and Taliban hideouts.
During this, the first of three gold-smuggling ventures in 1968, Carol's biggest fear was that she might fall to the ground and "make a huge clanging sound." Or that she would pass out. This was in the days before airport security. X-ray machines and metal detectors (let alone poofs of air blown by chemical-weapons detectors) lay far in the future. It was hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable with all that metal digging into her sides. She definitely didn't want anyone touching her.
Carol's hair had faded from a blond dye job back to its natural chestnut color. Not quite below her shoulders yet, it was still a good deal longer than it had been when she began this journey. Taking a breather from college, she was feeling invincible. Still, her present situation, while not desperately scary, was not without danger.
Before she boarded her flight in Beirut, a man had told her: "If you think of taking off with these gold bars, we'll find you."
The happening
Months before her plane ride, when Carol arrived in Greece, she was a nice college girl just coming off the mid 1960s, with light-pink pearl glazing her lips and gold highlights tinting her blond bob. Two months was all she'd planned to spend on her trip to Europe: a boat to Rotterdam, a trip to Sweden, a drive down to Greece. She'd already been to Italy after high school with her choral group.

IN THE DARK, i dont like it... what
IN THE DARK, i dont like it... what
Quite obviously he is talking about the dark machine.
Holy sushi fisher, the dead space 2 patch is even worse than the savefile that has all the suits
Omg im dying for a slasher model!!!!
They aint comin' any time soon bro, they're most likely lost.
Actually I still have them, but the rigging is pretty awful.
or you could just upload what you have? no?
I want to release quality, not shit.
another q, is rigging related to posing and bone structure?
To be honest, I rather want to work on new stuff I havn't worked on before. And these guys here are better porters then me anyways, so just be patience.
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7...rklillwasa.jpg i mean this too, will we ever see this surface?
has anyone originally working on these projects already confirmed they're stopping?
i mean, these pictures look amazing! i just dont understand how they cant be in gmod already.
well what is "rigging" anyway? im sure i could manage and do with problems, i just really want to see my movie idea come to life.
And Nexus was blame.
listen, what is up with you two, seriously, i dont understand why you are fighting. lilwasa people do it all the time, they upload their "unfinised" work and let the community work with it, lilwasa go back to the time you were determined to finish those necro models. if you gave it to someone better they could perfect it.
i still dont see why these necro models couldnt have been finished by now... i think everyone should just friggin work together, if you guys did more of that probably everything from deadspace could be ported into gmod.
so wait, are people even still working on this? or has everyone givin up or stopped, especially for the security soldier guy.. who is working on that model, and who specificly is working on the necros?
anyways, i was talking about the "suit" you just passed to some friend,nexus.
madre de dios, you surely did a mess when i was sleeping,well im gonna still wait what i have to wait for some news
don't expect everyone to do everything for you because you want it , jeez.
And the Slasher and other models are already in work, I don't know how often we had to say this while following the thread...

Exposed: 10 Female Guitarists You Should Know, Part 3
You might call guitarist and vocalist St. Vincent avant-garde, quirky or even peculiar, but her talent is undeniable. This winter she released Strange Mercy, which was named on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2011. Born Annie Erin Clark, St. Vincent has opened for acts such as Television, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, Jolie Holland, John Vanderslice, Xiu Xiu, Death Cab for Cutie, and Grizzly Bear.
She worked with Bon Iver on the song "Roslyn," which appeared on the film soundtrack of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Her unconventional musical style and sensibility have been characterized by critics as a mixture of chamber rock, pop, indie rock and cabaret jazz. I call it … interesting. Here's a live performance of "Cruel" off of Strange Mercy. Check out the official video too if you get a chance. It IS cruel.

...the complaints and whining about Ann Romney's horse. Look at it this way:
So the Romneys are selfish for keeping a horse?
a.. And employing a groom with a family to support.
b.. And paying for feed thats sold by someone with a family to support
c.. and transported in trucks by someone with a family to support
d.. and manufactured in a factory by people with families to support
e.. from stuff thats grown by farmers with families to support.
f.. And having a barn built by construction workers with families to support
g.. with materials trucked by drivers with families to support
h.. from factories with workers with families to support.
Sounds to me like that one horse has done more to put Americans to work than that horses ass in the White House.

Heres another little beauty we don't get to see to often. Dave mentioned them in his excellent tetra primer sticky. If you haven't read it you should.
It's been around for awile (all the old and new books have them in thier text's) and not that hard to take care of, about the same as a Cardinal Tetra. The biggest problem from what I understand is that they are hard to breed so we are dependent on wild specimens.
If anybody has a lead on them let me know.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Dick Maas is a well-known Dutch film director, who started out as a comic artist in the early 1970s. Born Dirk Willem Maas in Heemstede, he studied at the Free Academy in The Hague for a while. In his spare time, he worked as a cartoonist and artist of comic stories. He self published the underground periodical Formule S, of which only one issue appeared in April 1973. He created the character 'Mug en Zifter' and contributed to Modern Papier (1972), Tante Leny Presenteert (1972) and Aloha (from 1972).
He was admitted tot he Dutch Film Academy in 1974, and graduated three years later. After a series of short films created between 1975 and 1981, he became known for such Dutch 80s film classics as 'De Lift' ('The Elevator', 1983), 'Flodder' (1986) and 'Amsterdamned' (1988). In the 1990s, two 'Flodder' sequel films followed, as well as a TV series, and in the new millennium came 'Moordwijven' (2007), 'Sint' (2010) and 'Quiz' (2012).

Can You describe the device a bit more?On what event the button has to be pressed?Can a button be replaced by a MOSFET, transistor or relay?
Hi,A solenoid with a rubber '"finger" is probably the best way to go (at least it was some 25 years ago when we made test robots for testing hand-held terminals with 20+ solenoids.If you have a serial port (they're getting scarce these days), you can go with any of the output lines, just remember that EIA/TIA-232 is resting positive (and active negative). This can be inverteed in the control program, which you'll have to build yourself, as it will be quite OS/version dependant in connecting with the physical hardware.A couple of transistors + "glue" is all the hardware it takes to interface the solenoid to the serial line.
I would not count on a usb to serial adapter working for this. The usb converters fake a serial port enough to communicate generally but the electronics behind it are different then a real port and so they do respond differently to things like wiring up external electronics.

By Ben Levisohn
Shares of Beam (BEAM) have jumped today after Suntory said it would buy the bourbon maker for $83.50 a share. Should investors expect another buyer to emerge?
D.A. Davidson's Timothy Ramey doesn't think so. He writes:
Suntory is Beam's distributor in Japan and so is a natural buyer. We don't see other buyers emerging at a higher price, and 20x EBITDA is certainly full.
Applying the same valuation metrics to Brown Forman (BF.B) and Constellation Brands (STZ) would give us a $92 price in Brown Forman and a $100 price for Constellation. To the extent that money flows out of Beam and looks for another home in the alcoholic beverage space, both should benefit.
Citigroup's Vivien Azer says the deal "makes sense." She writes:
BEAM's portfolio is among the most concentrated among the publicly-traded spirits companies in terms of its exposure to the fast-growing brown spirits categories (in particular bourbon). Given bourbon's high barriers to entry (in addition to the healthy cost synergies that are historically seen for spirits M&A), the premium multiple makes sense to us.
Shares of Beam have jumped 24% to $83.11, while Brown Forman has gained 3.9% to $78.12 and Constellation Brands has risen 1.1% to $80.90.

I recently had one of my display shelves crash onto my MR Jedi Remote
The plastic "fork" that holds the remote in place on the stand broke off inside the Remote. After panicking, I sent an email to MR requesting a replacement part. It took a couple of days to get a response. When I called a rep, he told me to search on Google.com for "A.J. Collecting." After unsuccessful attempts to find that website, I gave up. Fortunately, MR responded to my email about 5 days later....They offered to replace my damaged piece free of charge after I emailed them my address and the correspondence we swapped on email.
In a related story, Gentle Giant Studios helped me earlier this year when one of my Asajj Ventress lightsabers broke off in her hand on the maquette. They sent me a replacement saber in 3 days! It's great to know that we can get support from these 2 companies!!!

Dinner ready in 20 minutes! Mix pasta, tuna and veggies to make this hearty skillet meal ready for four.
Albacore tuna is a high-fat tuna with a delicate flavor. It is the palest of all tuna, and only albacore may be labeled "white tuna." Albacore is also the most expensive canned tuna.
Use 3 teaspoons of dried dill weed in place of the fresh dill; the flavor and color of dried dill will be less intense than that of fresh dill.

The joys of jobseeking
Technically, for most the last year or so since leaving Google, I've been unemployed. I didn't receive unemployment benefits, though, because I didn't really need it and because the paperwork overhead seemed higher than I was prepared to deal with. (Plus of course the periods when I was studying or overseas.) But now I'm working on Growstuff and I'd like to get onto the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme, which offers small business training and mentoring and some small amount of funding for a year while you work on your new thing. Thing is, you need to be on unemployment benefits to qualify, and so I recently applied for Newstart.
As a Newstart recipient, I'm required to search for jobs, even though my goal is to run my own business. Whatever, I can play the game. I applied for a number of jobs online, figuring I'm probably over-qualified for most of them, but it fulfils the requirements. Today I got an email back from one of them, asking me to fill in an online questionaire. Obviously, to show good faith in my "job search" I need to do this, but I have to admit that it sapped my will to live.
The first part of the process was an 80 question "IQ" test which included the following questions:
The idea that the Earth is the centre of the universe is
a) improbable
b) intelligent
c) subversive
d) insular
e) astronomical
Such things as language, clothing, customs, color, idicate[sic]:
a) temperament
b) race
c) birthplace
d) location
e) personality
Which of the following is a trait of personality?
a) affluence
b) reputation
c) position
d) withdrawn
e) power
The second part of the questionaire, about the "product" of my most recent work (i.e. my year at Google) was even worse. Luckily their web app crashed and I couldn't actually complete it.
My prospects as a trainee fleet co-ordinator seem less than stellar.
