Taking file with ip ranges, each on it's own line like:

command returns deaggregated ip ranges using ipcalc deaggregate feature like that:
Useful for configuring nginx geo module
You send a unicast ICMP packet to each host. Many firewalls will drop that ICMP. However, in order to send the ICMP, you'll have first done an ARP request and the remote machine is unlikely to ignore that, so the computer will be in your ARP table.
Instead of opening your browser, googling "whatismyip"...
Also useful for scripts.
dig can be found in the dnsutils package.
ifconfig is dead, long-live iproute2
this also uses only awk to do the grepping and removal of CIDR notation
Prints the unique IP Addresses as they arrive from an Apache `access.log` file.
The '-W interactive' tells awk to start writing to stdout immediately and not buffer the output.
This command builds on the uniq lines without sorting command (http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/4389/remove-duplicate-entries-in-a-file-without-sorting.)
Allows to add more than one ip address to one network device.
Thanks to comment if that works or not...
If you have already typed that snippet or you know you already have IO::Interface::Simple perl module, you can type only the last command :
perl -e 'use IO::Interface::Simple; my $ip=IO::Interface::Simple->new($ARGV[0]); print $ip->address,$/;' <INTERFACE>
( The first perl command will install the module if it's not there already... )
Like the tiltle said, you can use an argument too ( the interface )
MyIps eth0
will show only the IP of this interface and the public IP
( tested with Linux )
You can add that function in ~/.bashrc, then
. ~/.bashrc
Now you are ready to call this function in all your terms...
If you are interested in interfaces other than eth0 you will need to change eth0 to your interface name.
You could use this mammoth to nab the ip4 addresses of all your interfaces
perl -e '@_=`ifconfig -a`; sort(@_); foreach(@_) { /(inet addr\:)(\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+ )/; $_=$2; @uniq=grep($_ ne $prev && (($prev) = $_), @_);} print join "\n",@uniq,"\n"; '
it seems silly to have all this code when the following will work fine
ifconfig -a | grep "inet " | awk -F":" ' { print $2 } ' | cut -d " " -f1
Yeah I know it's been up here a million times, but this service is a really clean and nice one. Nothing but your IP address on it. Actually I was to write something like this, and noticed this on appspot... ;)
Handles everything except octets with 255. Ran through ip generator with variable octet lengths.
if you want to only print the IP address from a file.
In this case the file will be called "iplist" with a line like "ip address 18.104.22.168"
it will only print the "126.96.36.199" portion
This obey that you don't match any broadcast or network addresses and stay between 188.8.131.52 - 254.254.254.254
Gets the internal and external IP addresses of all your interfaces, or the ones given as arguments

If the Act takes effect, it will deny, among other things, Plaintiffs' patients their constitutional right to decide whether to have a child, as well as their patients' and physicians' First Amendment freedoms and their patients' right to informational privacy; and subject Plaintiffs and their physicians to significant licensing penalties, including revocation of Planned Parenthood's license to operate a health care facility in Sioux Falls and its physicians' licenses to practice medicine, as well as criminal and civil penalties. To avoid this irreparable harm, Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief against the Act.
Several other states have also acted recently to tighten restrictions on abortions. Earlier this week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton [official website] vetoed a pair of bills [JURIST report] that restricted state funding for abortions and banned them altogether after 20 weeks. Last week, Texas Governor Rick Perry [official website] signed into law a bill that requires women seeking an abortion to first get a sonogram [JURIST report]. Multiple states have acted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, when some studies suggest a fetus can begin feeling pain, including Missouri, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Idaho [JURIST reports].

Identifying potential risks of a pregnancy is an important part of preconception care. Some women have increased chances for having a high-risk pregnancy because of genetic background, existing medical conditions, their lifestyle, or factors that may develop with the pregnancy.
Pregnancy risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Mother is younger than 18 years old or older than 35
Mother is underweight or overweight for height
Mother has anemia (low red blood cell count) and poor nutrition status
Low socioeconomic status
Previously given birth more than four times
Previous preterm birth (birth before 37 weeks gestation)
Previous birth of a very large or very small baby
Previous pregnancy loss
Family history of genetic disease or previous baby with a birth defect
Substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs)
Pre-existing medical conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease
Infertility medications or treatments (more likely to result in multiple births)
There are many external risk factors, including alcohol, drugs, smoke, high temperatures, radiation exposure, and high altitudes that can pose a serious threat to a developing fetus.
Listed in the directory below, you will find some additional information regarding risk factors for pregnancy, for which we have provided a brief overview.

A 7x7 photobook celebrating the nude body from three different artist's perspectives.
I'm a junior at Northern Kentucky University pursuing a BFA with an emphasis in Photography. I spent most of my life doing theatre & my interest in performance and emotion has come forth through my photographs. I like to explore the feelings, secrets, fears and fantasies a person can have throughout his or her life in my work.
Unfortunately life can't be as theatrical & colorful as plays or musicals, so I like to create an elaborate, fictional version of how interesting I wish life were through my images. In my two years of photographing I have received two scholarships at NKU, published a book, have had my work shown in several local galleries as well as two images in the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China, was the portraiture winner in the American Photo on Campus Go Pro competition & was voted #2 in the 2010 Best of Cincinnati contest in the "Local Visual Artist" category.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jay
"This simple chicken brine will help make the meat more tender and juicy."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 gallon warm water
3/4 cup kosher salt
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
Really good and really easy! The chicken was sooooo tender. However, if you plan to cook your chicken in a slow cooker, you're going to need to shorten your cooking time if you brine. Otherwise, the chicken will just fall apart. I was worried that the soy sauce would overpower it but not at all. Everyone loved it and said it was their favorite so far. I cook a chicken about once a week and am always trying different recipes. This is definitely a keeper!
I always do my brine differently and decided to review this one and it was no where near as good as the one I already use. I always add whole peppercorns, herbs, salt, garlic, sugar, etc and no oil to a stock pot filled with water and then I bring it to a boil, let it cool in an ice bath until very cold, then add the chicken to it and leave in fridge for 24 hours, I flip the chicken after 12 hours. I always rinse my chicken before roasting, but I also add a pinch of salt, pepper, and lemon juice or chicken broth poured over the chicken in pan. I always preheat oven to 400 degrees and lower temp to 350 after putting in the chicken, and add 10-15min cooking time to make sure skin is crispy because using a brine softens the skin.
116 Ratings
I've brined a few chickens and turkeys, and before you cook it, YOU NEED TO RINSE IT. Then your bird won't be too salty.
The basis for this is good, but in my opinion whole chickens should be brined for 1-2 hours in cold water. Longer than that and you'll take up too much salt. Also when cooking, consider stuffing the body cavity with onions, apples, and other high moisture things and the chicken will come out super moist.
If using table salt or canning salt use half of what is called for if kosher is listed in recipe. I have unintentionally brined a whole chicken for over 24 hrs (when dinner plans changed) and it was not over salted or mushy. I also do not rinse my birds after brining and have not noticed any effects. To make sure the salt and sugar disolve I fill a half gallon container about half full with the warmest water I can get out of the tap. Add salt and sugar, stir until disolved. Add ice to container, stir to cool water down. Strain ice if desired and fill container to bring to 1gal then add soy and other ingredients.
This is a great foundation kind of recipe. You can add your own touch. I agree with Nox,COLD is the way to go. I used brown sugar,garlic and onion powder. A few shakes of crushed red pepper, added a little kick.I will never roast another chicken, turkey etc. without brining it first.
Really good brine. Made my grilled chicken really moist and juicy without being overwhelming. NOTE: You cannot use table salt or it will be too salty. Thank you!
Delicious! I would have given it five stars but it was a little too salty for our taste. Will make again but cut back to half the salt next time.

Opening Clouds
Where is your cloud and how do you manage it?
I toss that question at an occasional CIO and get borderline lucid answers. Most don't yet use clouds but lust after them. Others leverage public clouds for non-privileged and mission-uncritical work. A scant few have cobbled together their own private clouds (p-clouds).
P-clouds and rentable clouds are as similar to Sherman tanks and kangaroos.
The promise of agile clouds is that you would be able to establish your own internal p-cloud and extended it ad hoc to external, rented cloud resources. Currently this requires either a significant amount of home grown engineering or adherence to one or another public clouds tools and management protocols.
Either approach is anathema to IT.
All radical growth spurts in IT technologies have occurred when open standards were popularized.
UNIX killed MPE, VMS and other also-rans. Likewise Linux is slowly killing proprietary UNIX and blocking Windows Server growth. TCP/IP and Berkeley Sockets killed Netware, Vines and a slate of sluggish competitors. x32 and x64 chips have all but eliminated SPARC, Itanium and other red-headed step children.
Standards make stuff happen because it invites commoditization and interoperability, the top two CIO wet dreams.
It is unsurprising then that a number of the smarter industry players are pushing standards for cloud computing. When a document titled the "Open Could Manifesto" is singed by IBM, Sun, VMware, Cisco, EMC, SAP, Advanced Micro Devices, Elastra, Akamai, Novell, Rackspace, RightScale and GoGrid, you see that standards are as important to vendors as well as their customers.
Oddly, HP and Microsoft are not on the list of signatories.
Microsoft's absence is understandable, as is Amazon.
Ballmer's bezerkers have launched Azure. In their effort to own everything, Microsoft wants no part of plans that commoditize clouds. Amazon is as an understandable absentee too. Having popularized clouds they do not wish to diminish their lead in the industry.
HP however is puzzlement. The manifesto asks vendors to "ensure that the challenges to cloud adoption (security, integration, portability, interoperability, governance/management, metering/monitoring) are addressed through open standards." HP has made good profit from standards be they PCs, servers or the network management protocols that feed their still wildly popular Openview suite. Perhaps HP was excluded from the manifesto group as IBM/Sun merger talks were in progress. Nothing marginalizes a competitor quite like excluding them from a standards group.
In their trashing of the manifesto, Microsoft marginalized itself.
The bugga in the boo is that the manifesto is nothing more than a declaration of desire – a love letter to the market. It sets forth high-level principles for cloud vendors to adopt and little else. It is a more threat than action – a way to get competing vendors to either commit to open interoperability or appear to the public as old-school lock-in tech companies (hence Microsoft's absence). Like other religions, it articulates noble goals through pretty words.
The beheadings come later.
The Open Cloud Manifesto web site is sparse – more of a staging ground for discussion than a hotbed of action. Without action, without translation of high minded desires into concrete cloud interoperability, it stands as nothing more than a wiki of wonder. Let's hope that IBM buys Sun and repurposes it as the leader in open cloud technology, using the Open Cloud Manifesto organization as engineering epicenter to the next wave of IT infrastructure.
Finally, a good use for Sun.

I was hoping to find an app that would keep track of your personal apps, the purchased apps and your free apps on your iPAD. Maybe not possible? DrJNAB.
I guess I don't understand the question... The apps you buy are right there on your iPad so why would you need another app to tell you what apps you already have???
Apps. Unfortunately you have to enter each app you have on your iPad manually. I found out about Appshopper after I already had 15 apps.
Is there a quick way to get the apps currently on the iPad to appshopper.
I don't think so, but I don't use this feature of AppShopper because App Store basically does the same thing (except that you won't receive push notifications). I simply start it up once a day to let it check for any updates.

I'm confused too. If you flip thru your home screens you will see what apps you have, nothing is hidden. If you backup on iTunes they will all come back on next restore.

Embedding Python in Your C Programs
Listing 3. Making a Copy of the Environment
// Get a reference to the main module. PyObject* main_module = PyImport_AddModule("__main__"); // Get the main module's dictionary // and make a copy of it. PyObject* main_dict = PyModule_GetDict(main_module); PyObject* main_dict_copy = PyDict_Copy(main_dict); // Execute two different files of // Python code in separate environments FILE* file_1 = fopen("file1.py", "r"); PyRun_File(file_1, "file1.py", Py_file_input, main_dict, main_dict); FILE* file_2 = fopen("file2.py", "r"); PyRun_File(file_2, "file2.py", Py_file_input, main_dict_copy, main_dict_copy);
I'll get into the details of how PyRun_File() works in a little bit, but if you look carefully at Listing 3, you should notice something interesting. When I call PyRun_File() to execute the files, the dictionary gets passed in twice. The reason for this is that Python code actually has two environmental contexts when it is executed. The first is the global context, which I've already talked about. The second context is the local context, which contains any locally defined variables or functions. In this case, those are the same, because the code being executed is top-level code. On the other hand, if you were to execute a function dynamically using multiple C-level calls, you might want to create a local context and use that instead of the global dictionary. For the most part though, it's generally safe to pass the global environment for both the global and local parameters.
At this point, I'm sure you've noticed the Py_DECREF() calls that popped up in the Listing 3 example. Those fun little guys are there for memory management purposes. Inside the interpreter, Python handles memory management automatically by keeping track of all references to memory transparent to the programmer. As soon as it determines that all references to a given chunk of memory have been released, it deallocates the no-longer needed chunk. This can be a problem when you start working on the C side though. Because C is not a memory-managed language, as soon as a Python data structure ends up referenced from C, all ability to track the references automatically is lost to Python. The C application can make as many copies of the reference that it wants, and hold on to it indefinitely without Python knowing anything about it.
The solution is to have C code that gets a reference to a Python object handle all of the reference counting manually. Generally, when a Python call hands an object out to a C program, it increments the reference count by one. The C code can then do what it likes with the object without worrying that it will be deleted out from under it. Then when the C program is done with the object, it is responsible for releasing its reference by making a call to Py_DECREF().
It's important, though, to remember when you copy a pointer within your C program that may outlast the pointer from which you're copying, you need to increment the reference count manually, by calling Py_INCREF(). For example, if you make a copy of a PyObject pointer to store inside an array, you'll probably want to call Py_INCREF() to ensure that the pointed-to object won't get garbage-collected after the original PyObject reference is decremented.
Now let's take a look at a slightly more useful example to see how Python can be embedded into a real program. If you take a look at Listing 4, you'll see a small program that allows the user to specify short expressions on the command line. The program then calculates the results of those expressions and displays them in the output. To add a little spice to the mix, the program also lets users specify a file of Python code that will be loaded before the expressions are executed. This way, the user can define functions that will be available to the command-line expressions.
Listing 4. A Simple Expression Calculator
#include <python2.3/Python.h> void process_expression(char* filename, int num, char** exp) { FILE* exp_file; // Initialize a global variable for // display of expression results PyRun_SimpleString("x = 0"); // Open and execute the file of // functions to be made available // to user expressions exp_file = fopen(filename, "r"); PyRun_SimpleFile(exp_file, exp); // Iterate through the expressions // and execute them while(num--) { PyRun_SimpleString(*exp++); PyRun_SimpleString("print x"); } } int main(int argc, char** argv) { Py_Initialize(); if(argc != 3) { printf("Usage: %s FILENAME EXPRESSION+\n"); return 1; } process_expression(argv[1], argc - 1, argv + 2); return 0; }
Two basic Python API functions are used in this program, PyRun_SimpleString() and PyRun_AnyFile(). You've seen PyRun_SimpleString() before. All it does is execute the given Python expression in the global environment. PyRun_SimpleFile() is similar to the PyRun_File() function that I discussed earlier, but it runs things in the global environment by default. Because everything is run in the global environment, the results of each executed expression or group of expressions will be available to those that are executed later.
Python Conference: PyCon 2006
For people that want to learn more about Python, especially those near Dallas Texas, I want to mention the upcoming community-organized annual Python conference, PyCon 2006.
Higher level interfaces
The Python/C API is very low level, verbose, painful to work with, and highly error prone. With C++ code in particular it just sucks - you'll spend half your time writing const_cast("blah") to work around "interesting" APIs or writing piles of "extern C" wrapper functions, and the rest of your time writing verbose argument encoding/decoding or reference counting code. It's immensely frustraing to use plain C to write a Python object to wrap a C++ object.
Do yourself a favour, and once you've got embedding working, expose the Python interface to your program using a higher level tool. I hear SWIG is pretty good, especially for plain C code, but haven't used it myself (I work with heavily templated C++ with Qt). SIP (used to make PyQt) from Riverbank computing has its advantages also, and is good if you want your Qt app's API to integrate cleanly into PyQt. Otherwise, I'd suggest the amazing Boost::Python for C++ users, as it's ability to almost transparently wrap your C++ interfaces, mapping them to quite sensible Python semantics, is pretty impressive.
Boost::Python has the added advantage that you can write some very nice C++ code that integrates cleanly with Python. For example, you can iterate over a Python list much like a C++ list, throw exceptions between C++ and Python, build Python lists as easily as (oversimplified example):
#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;
boost::python::list make_list()
list pylist;
for (int i = 0; i != 10; ++i)
pylist.append( make_tuple( "fred", 10 ) );
return pylist;
The equivalent Python/C API code is longer, filled with dangerous reference count juggling, contains a lot of manual error checking that's often ignored, and is a lot uglier.
With regards to the article above, it's good to see things like this written. I had real trouble getting started with embedding Python, and I think this is a pretty well written intro. I do take issue with one point, though, and that's duplicating the environment. Cloning the main dict does not provide separate program environments - very far from it. It only gives them different global namespaces. Interpreter-wide state changes still affect both programs. For example, if one program imports a module, the other one can see it in sys.modules ; if one program changes a setting in a module, the other one is affected. Locale settings come to mind. Most well designed modules will be fine, but you'll run into the odd one that thinks that module-wide globals are a good idea and consequently chokes.
Unfortunately, the alternative is to use sub-interpreters. Sub-interpreters are a less than well documented part of Python's API, and as they rely on thread local storage they're hopeless in single threaded programs. They can be made to work (see Scribus, for example) but it's not overly safe, and will abort if you use a Python debug build.
When you combine this with a GUI toolkit like Qt3 that only permits GUI operations from the main thread (thankfully, the limitiation is relieved by Qt4), this becomes very frustrating. If you're not stuck with this limitation, you can just spawn off a thread for your users' scripts, and should consider designing your interface that way right from the start.
Embedding Python is handy. Have fun.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Inside Collection (Textbook): Advanced Algebra II: Conceptual Explanations
Summary: This module discusses concepts related to simultaneous equations.
Consider the two equations:
Suppose we attempt to solve these two equations by elimination. So, we double the first equation and subtract, and the result is:
Hey, what happened? 0 does not equal 13, no matter what
No solution.
Now, consider these equations:
Once again, we attempt elimination, but the result is different:
What happened that time?
Infinite number of solutions.
All of this is much easier to understand graphically! Remember that one way to solve simultaneous equations is by graphing them and looking for the intersection. In the first case, we see that original equations represented two parallel lines. There is no point of intersection, so there is no simultaneous equation.
In the second case, we see that the original equations represented the same line, in two different forms. Any point on the line is a solution to both equations.

Painting faces

After moving to Sequim from Phoenix six years ago, George Zien saw the relocation as only an artist can.
"We had the warm colors in Arizona, the yellows and oranges," he explained. "Out here we have more blues and greens, so my paintings are changing."
Zien, who estimated he spends about five hours a day in a studio he and his wife, Janet, built adjacent to their home just outside of Sequim, said he only has one requirement for his pieces: Each must have a tale behind it.
"I love portraits, people," he said. "I'm not enchanted with flowers. Landscape is okay, (but) I like something that has a story in it."
Due to his love for painting something with life in it, Zien has gravitated toward portraits, but insists on taking a photograph of the subject himself and then working with it.
"I have had people sit for me, but I basically work from photographs," he said. "I need to see (something) to make it look real."
Painting portraits for people, however, can be challenging, according to Zien.
"It's got to look painterly," he explained. "If people wanted a photograph, they'd have the photograph enlarged."
To avoid that problem, Zien said he plays around with shadowing.
"When you're doing a portrait, your freedom with art is with the shadows," he said. "(Shadows) are the soul of the painting."
He added that he takes his own photographs, mainly so he can get a feel for the person he will be capturing with paints.
"You get a feel for what and who they are," he said.
Spending hours on end cooped up in his studio has produced brilliant works, but Zien said he has become, as many artists can be, sort of a homebody.
"I tend to be a recluse," he said. "My wife is the people person."
To combat that, Zien began hosting a weekly drawing group in his studio about two years ago. The artists meet for about two and a half hours and draw a model, usually nude, that has been invited to sit for them. Zien said the artists have the freedom to do what they wish with the drawings - people use pencils, charcoals and paints.
"There are some really talented people in the group," he said. "It's good to be around other artists. I enjoy the company."
It's easy to see why the artists enjoy coming to the studio - it is comfortable, peppered with Zien's paintings, but not narcissistically so. Portraits of cowboys ("They remind me of the Southwest"), Italian carnival actors and Zien's own grandchildren, are piled up against the walls.
Zien points to a portrait of a smiling bearded man wearing a bandanna that hangs near the center of the studio.
"We were going to Marymere Falls (in Olympic National Park) and saw what looked like well-to-do hippies," Zien recalled. "I stopped to get a picture ... he saw me with my camera pointing at him and he smiled."
The result was a portrait that Zien said captured the moment perfectly.
"Someone told me they saw him somewhere," Zien laughed. "Maybe I'll run into him again."
Another picture Zien said he particularly likes is "Chefs," one he created from two separate photographs. Zien said he took a picture at a restaurant of a chef, painted it and then brought in a man from another photograph to create a seamless piece.
"I try to change pictures to make me feel like I've created scenes," he said. "Painting doesn't feel like work to me. It's something that I enjoy doing ... it's something that grabbed hold of me."
Although Zien can shoot off stories for each of his works, he said he can't pick a favorite painting or a favorite story.
"My favorite's always the one I'm just about to do," he said.

Light chestnut in color with a rocky head that reaches one-quarter inch before dissipating to form rings of lace in a Dogfish Head snifter. SRM 31-34 with dark brown highlights and a viscous film.
Strong, sweet espresso with vanilla is no surprise here. Deep roasted malt with pumpernickel and Jewish rye is also present. Warming accentuates the vanilla and adds a light baker's chocolate note. Some wood ash is also discernible. The aroma from this glass fills the room.
Luscious with a mix of sweet and bitterness. Espresso bitterness wins hands down while smoked peat and burnt molasses are also present. Very dark chocolate lingers throughout middle to finish.
The body is fuller than expected of a Porter, with silky smoothness and alcohol as anticipated.
This beer fits squarely within the expectations one would have for a sipping or contemplative beer.

Arkansas voters passed Issue No. 1 in Tuesday's general election. As a result, a half-percent sales tax will be implemented throughout the state for improving roads. Revenue generated from the tax will finance improvements to streets, bridges and roads, but primarily will be used to pay for a four-lane highway system statewide. The issue received approval from 58 percent of Arkansas voters. That constitutes 592,980 votes. In Arkansas, 42 percent of Arkansas voters, constituting 425,733 votes, were opposed to the issue.
Last summer when Michelle Finney's mother was a patient at Saline Memorial Hospital, she had several opportunities to see the 2012 GMC Acadia parked near the hospital entrance. The car was at the site to promote an upcoming fundraiser for the SMH Foundation and the Benton Area Chamber of Commerce. The promotion for the vehicle, being donated by Everett Buick GMC, involved selling $100 chances— 500 of them — to raise money for the effort.
On Nov. 5, one of God's true angels, Sara Elizabeth Besancon, was granted her angel wings and flew home to be with the Lord. Her life began Oct. 31, 1990, and was tragically taken from injuries sustained in a one-car accident.

High kicks are usually disadvantageous. Feet/legs are farther from the intended target than hands/arms, therefore a kick is slower, therefore it is easier to defend against a kick. Kicks are also generally more tiring, and, frankly, if you need the extra power, you're doing it wrong. That being said and true enough, if you're throwing kicks, it may be best to aim high, as you don't want to actually hurt anyone and kicking the legs in a non-injuring way doesn't do much for your street cred.
But if you get enough height and speed, you can quickly and unexpectedly demolish someone's face. Also, it's generally more commendable for purely kumatai purposes, to the best of my knowledge. But in a real self-defense situation, I'd generally prefer takedown stuffs. If you hit the nerve cluster on the center-back of your hand hard enough, it can disable your entire arm for a while.
Just remember that I was being metaphorical. I even mentioned it last page!!!

But if you get enough height and speed, you can quickly and unexpectedly demolish someone's face.
Incidentally, this is Mirko Cro Cop's signature technique for MMA bouts. His left roundhouse kick to the face has sent many a head into orbit with a single blow.
p.s. Alt, Xzeno practices hung gar kung fu, which explains why he says what he does. HAIL WONG FEI HUNG!

Also, ouuuch at Crocop's roundhouse. *that* would be painful.

You realise this is easy, right?
Laughably so, yes. But I'll keep doing it until it stops working. If I ever had to fight a trained fighter... oh man, I don't know what I'd do :P
This brings me to my next point: While I believe one usually shouldn't kick for the face in the same way one usually shouldn't punch for the knee, if it is advantageous to kick someone in the face... kick someone in the face. I don't advocate not being able to kick people in the face, and I don't advocate never doing it per se. I do advocate using discretion, as face-kicking is often suboptimal.
you can quickly and unexpectedly demolish someone's face.
Another excellent point. Being unpredictable is as essential as predicting your opponent. For that, face-kicking may be a good idea.
Hung ga is a style of kung fu that specializes in being better than whatever crap Strop practices :P/jk/italickiddingfont. Check it out on wikipedia.
Wong Fei Hung is considered to be the founder of the style. Naturally, the history of Hung Ga - like anything else - is a bit more complex than that, but it's a good working definition.
Going back to writing now...
Posted Apr 13, '10 at 11:47pm
Just yell CHUCK NORRIS while throwing the kick. The fear of his godly roundhouse should cause your opponent to drop dead instantly.
that specializes in being better than whatever crap Strop practices
That must be something real special, given that I practice being awesome :P
Okay, about 30ish hours before deadline. I'm going to get cracking on my own scenes.

Looks great!
Well done and good luck with your project.
I'm very exited to present you our indie Action/RPG game called "Exoplanet: First Contact" that is focused on single-player experience, like old good Morrowind and Gothic for instance.
The game is set in a Space Western universe.
In Exoplanet: FC we have brought together distinctive elements of Wild West, futuristic technologies and feudal society of a distant human colony, placed on a wild and dangerous planet named K'Tarsis.
If you're interested, please check more info on IndieDB: http://www.indiedb.com/games/exoplanet-first-contact or post comments here.

Gorgeous environment.
You need to find somebody to clean up your English - your English communication skills will negatively impact your projects success.
Character animation seemed a little stiff - not by indie. standards but relative to the very high bar you have set with your environment.
Is this your shops first title? That seemed like an art demo reel more than a game play demo, I hope you have the team to bring that game to life.
I am very glad you liked our environment!
It is our first project. We spend a lot of time with many experiments and tests to study how to make good environments.
Of course we are on very low step in level design, however we will try to do more interesting locations.
We have many ideas! =)
In contrast to this video, we will demonstrate gameplay next time.
PS: Sorry for my poor English, I'll try to write with less errors.
What platforms are you targeting?
The environments are indeed truly beautiful, and surely they are authored by a modeler, as opposed to being procedurally generated?
Your sahara engine does some impressive rendering. You wrote your own shaders? just vertex/fragment or also geometry shaders?
OpenGL based? DirectX?
Bram Stolk
the little crane that could
The Environments are absolutely hand made, not auto-generated.
When we work on landscapes in our game, we use for inspiration some references from real life as well as some amazing artwork of professional artists and photographers.
I suppose, it's impossible to reach such quality of environment design using auto-generation of the landscapes.
PC Windows is our primary target platform, however if we get enough pre-orders we'll develop MAC and Linux versions.
In any case, the Sahara Engine is based on OpenGL, so it can be ported to these platforms.
Currently we use only Vertex and Fragment shaders, specially developed for our game.
Also we plan use Geometry shaders in future.
Small update: http://www.indiedb.com/games/exoplan.../images/howdah
looks very professional and huge! if the gameplay is also good, it will be a great success!!! congrats

Jack Sharp (Main Character)
You start your adventures on K'Tharsis as Jack Sharp, a space nomad and skilled gunslinger, who was unfortunate enough to land on this remote and dangerous planet.
Jack does not talk much about his past, he is mostly concerned about his present. Oh his old but sturdy freighter starship he roams the borders of the Known Space in search for work and loot sometimes going beyond the law.
He may seem to be a lazy and phlegmatic lad, even a simple-minded person, but first impression is deceptive. Behind this mask he hides keen intellect and explosive temper. All sort of conflicts and adventures make him shine. Jack likes to risk and needs some challenge to show his best features. Actually his big ego and thirst for money could have already caused his death many times if there were no phenomenal luck on his side. His tongue is quick but so are his hands: Jack never hesitates to make his guns an ultimate argument in a hard conversation. Sometimes he is a real badass.
However Jack is rather an antihero and the last thing he is thinking about is to save other people lives and doing things for free, he has his own code of honor and couldn't be called a real scoundrel.
After his arrival on K'Tharsis our hero has lost his starship and was enslaved by some criminals. Jack must recover his freedom and avenge his foes. He must explore the dangerous planet and its darkest secrets and become a part of epic events and fascinating stories!
Looking good, like others said the environments look great, the storyline/setting is also intriging.
Looking forward to more!

Announce for new gun:
See details here: http://alersteam.com/blog/en/
The most dangerous weapon ever!
Type 67 Assault Rifle is one of the most popular and reliable weapons in Human Space. Though it is has been replaced with more advanced designs and models in the old and rich Core Worlds, its clones and modifications are being manufactured in vast numbers on more then 200 frontier planets of humanity. It is considered that T67 and its "family" have killed more humans and natives than any weapon in the history of human Expansion.

Hello to all!
I'm happy to present our new video:
It's about one interesting aspect of gameplay: Kamikadze Bug!
Do you like it?
I do like it! The environments look great, and I love the idea of showing it through the eyes of the biter bug. Looking forward to seeing the combat in action.
Thanks! =)
In next video we will show battle scenes!
Awesome "bug climbing over the rocks" anim/physics
My Indie 3D space sim: Void Destroyer
Looks great. Have you watched starship troopers?
Could see this doing well on kickstarter. Donate x amount you get a model of a bug
Thanks! Main hero will use bug to reach places that he (hero) can't, and this is one of such examples =)
Is it for me? =)
I like Starship Troopers movie, it inspired us in different ways!
Idea with donation for bug model is very interesting ;-)
Hovewer we can't use Kickstarter ;(. For this reason we made preorder page on our site for people who want to support us.
Also we plan to go to indiegogo.com a bit later...

Shipping back to the Scotland
I am new to all this. I am currently I. The process of getting my first hunting trip out to SA.
Got a few questions for you boys that have done this before.
What is dip and pack. What sort of cost is it.
I am wanting to do mostly euro mount and hides.
The only trophy I would like to get shoulder mounted is a kudu bull.
Does any know of the price to tan the hides or am I better getting someone over here to do that. Ie Scotland
Sorry one more.
How do I get them shipped out here
Thanks for you time cheers

D&P is treating the raw hides, skulls (dried) and packing them to be sent to you.
This allows your taxidermist to do the work at home.
This can be done at either end of the shipping.
If that is what you want, thats what you'll get.
Processing hides into rugs or leather can be arranged by any of the good taxidermists in RSA.
Look them up and ask for current prices.
Sometimes local tanners will not do some hides. ie. buffalo.
There are plenty of shipping companies providing this service in RSA.
Research threads on shipping.
good luck.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

Non-tenure track faculty members received letters earlier this week warning them the university might have to cut back on employees.
It's due to the school's enrollment numbers and recent budget cuts.
According to the Assistant to the Chancellor for Media Relations Rod Sievers, non-tenure track faculty members get this type of letter every year around this time.
The problem is, no one knows what the spring semester will bring.
Sievers says the letters go out as a way for the university to let faculty members know that they may need to make cuts.
The university sent out similar letters in July 2012.
At that time, 16 non-tenured faculty members got the letters along with 63 employees at the early childhood program.
