CMC Powered Combat SuitTalk11
this wiki
Redirected from CMC-660 armor
The Confederate Marine Corps[1] Powered Combat Suit is a terran armored exoskeleton. Successive models continue to see widespread use by terran forces in the Koprulu sector, including the Terran Dominion[2] and Kel-Morian Combine.[3] The Umojan Protectorate also uses armor similar to the CMC design.[4][5][6]
Following the Fall of the Confederacy, CMC armor retained the name.[2][7] "Hardskin" is another term used to describe the armor.[1]
Armor is commonly personalized by suit and visor art.[8][9]
Suiting UpEdit
- Terran Up the Night (lyrics)(src)
The size and bulk of some types of armor before and during the Great War required frequent training to don efficiently.[10][11] Depending on a suit's material state and the user's experience it could take three to twenty minutes to suit up.[10] Constant drills allowed early members of the Sons of Korhal to complete the task in just one minute.[12]
Easier methods were available after the Brood War, at the latest. Some suits allowed the helmet and surrounding segments to be removed and replaced, allowing a user to simply climb in through the opening.[13] A more involved method consisted of the suit being constructed from prefabricated parts around the user, seemingly sealing the user inside.[14]
Known ModelsEdit
Note: Multiple aesthetics exist for the same versions of the CMC suit, which at times contradict each other. Information has been kept general where possible, though distinctions have had to be made when there are specific differences.
Pressurized Power SuitEdit
The pressurized power suit (a.k.a. "assault armor")[15] was issued some time before the CMC-300 and -400 series became prevalent.[12] These models were effectively replaced by CMC Powered Combat Suits,[10] though some were still in use during the Great War.[16]
CMC-200 Powered Combat SuitEdit
The CMC-200 Powered Combat Suit was used in the 25th century. By 2478 it was being phased out by its successor, the CMC-300[17] and was considered obsolete by the Guild Wars, only being used for training.[1] Still, Colonial Militias and law enforcement continued to use the CMC-200 during the Great War.[10]
The CMC-200 is known to have the following features:
- Air conditioner (a "backpack" which channels heat away from the body)[10]
- Visor System: Lights flicker on the interior of the visor's rim acting as a basic guide. Green, yellow and presumably red feature, keeping the user informed of the suit's integrity.[10]
- Shoulder housed ammunition reloads and sensor arrays.[10]
- Structural support (supports the user's body, e.g. adjusts itself to fit a firing stance, improving the gunner's aim).[10]
- Salvage System: Should the suit's arm or leg be breached, the suit seals it off in a tourniquet.[10]
- Immunity to most small arms fire. A needle gun can penetrate the suit, however.[10]
- Seven day endurance on internal recycling alone.[10]
- Basic NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) shielding.[10]
- Limited life support.[10]
In addition, the suit is compatible with stimpacks, which are able to be installed under the arms.[10]
The CMC-225 was the standard powered armor used by the Terran Confederacy during the Guild Wars. Its backpack released exhaust.[1]
Thunderstrike ArmorEdit

CMC-230 XEEdit
The CMC-230 XE "Thunderstrike" armor was a prototype jetpack equipped hardskin developed by Procyon Industries technician Hiram Feek and used by members of the "Heaven's Devils." It quickly fell out of use due to reliability issues.[1]
CMC-230 XFEdit
- Hank Harnack after seeing a CMC-230 XF in use(src)
The CMC-230 XF was the firebat version of the XE. After its cancellation, a non-jump capable version of the latter was retained for Confederate military use.[1]
CMC-300 Powered Combat SuitEdit
The CMC-300 Powered Combat Suit is the much improved successor to the CMC-200. It was already in service by 2478[17] and was standard issue to marines during the Great War.[18] The CMC-300 masses several hundred pounds and adds a foot to the wearer's height.[10] Old Confederate-era CMC-300's continue to be issued to some Dominion garrisons after the Brood War.[19] The suit is powered by cold fusion cartridges that are inserted into the suit's chest, and an afterburner on the suit's back is used to vent heat.[20]
The CMC-300 has the following features:
- Advanced NBC shielding.[18]
- Aural Directional Enhancers: Help clarify the source of external and transmitted sounds.[21]
- Full life support.[10]
- Gravity Generation: The suit is compatible with gravity accelerators for use on space platforms.[12] Grav-boots may provide an alternative though.[22]
- Enhanced protection, but can still be penetrated by a needle gun.[10]
- HUD: A Heads-Up Display (HUD) is built into the visor. Its features include infra-red vision,[11] a "navigation mode" which superimposes a map of surrounding terrain and pinpoints prominent features,[21] targeting systems,[23] is capable of displaying life support as a percentage and the amount of ammunition in a soldier's equipped weapon, the ability to detect motion to some extent,[24] and a data system which, with the appropriate link, can let the user 'jack in' to video and data feeds, the information scrolling across the visor.[21][17] The visor itself may be lowered/raised[25] and/or (un)polarized at the user's discretion,[21] though will automatically (un)polarize based on the intensity of light hitting it.[17] Colors that can result include black[25] and gold.[21]
- Integrated communication system.[21]
- Lockdown System: Used to stabilize wounded soldiers and/or prevent a shorted-out suit from misfiring. The disadvantage is that it prevents the user from moving.[23]
- At least some versions of the suit pump narcotics into the wounded wearer's bloodstream when its user is wounded, which can cause the wearer to fall unconscious.[10]
- Mufflers which reduce the amount of noise the suit makes and the user's heat signature.[10] Difference exists as to how much sound is masked however.[26]
- Shoulder and/or chest mounted illuminators.[25] The spectrum is determined via voice activation.[21]
- Structural Support: The amount of support that the suit provides is greatly increased from the CMC-200 model, increasing his/her strength and speed, stamina no longer becoming an issue. The servos enable a wearer to dash up steep slopes and safely land from heights of twenty feet.[21]
- The C-14 rifle may be connected to and powered by the suit.[21]
Overall, the suit is a marked improvement over its predecessor. However, its extensive servo-systems leave it vulnerable to immobilization should they be disrupted (e.g. a hydralisk scythe plunging into the chest).[23] The amount of power it consumes is also extensive; the helmet is generally left off outside of combat to conserve energy.[27]
Command SuitEdit
The Command Suit is a variant of the CMC-300 and features an enhanced portable comm system. They are worn by ship captains during combat operations.[10]
Unidentified VariantEdit
Armor similar to the CMC-300 design has been observed, featuring a sleeker frame and different helmet design. They have been used by both Dominion[28] and mercenary forces.[29]
CMC-400 Powered Combat SuitEdit
The CMC-400 Powered Combat Suit is an upgraded version of the CMC-300. It features NBC shielding and life support[30] an integrated stimpack system,[18] The suit was in service by 2491[12] but was still considered new eight years later at the beginning of the Great War.[21]
The following article or section contains lore from the StarCraft RPG, which is not regarded as canon. Elements may be regarded as 'flavor lore' however.
The CMC-400 is immune to most small arms fire and has a communications array.[31]
CMC-600 Heavy Combat SuitEdit
The CMC-600 Heavy Combat Suit is used by firebats. Some were still used during the Great War.[32]
CMC-660 Heavy Combat SuitEdit
The CMC-660 Heavy Combat Suit is the current standard issue suit of firebats. Heavier, more durable and far more heat resistant than than its counterpart models,[33] the Heavy Combat Suit provides additional protection.[17] Possessing the same features as the CMC-300 model[21] (albeit with stimpack compatibility), it features special systems to protect its user from the plasma and flame wielded.[18] Plasma tanks are located on the back, presenting a hazard to the user given the chance of their detonation. The tanks are reinforced with containment fields.[21] Nonetheless, the volatile mix of gasses carried often seep into the operator compartment.[34]
At least two generations of the CMC-660 exist:[35]
First GenerationEdit
The first known generation of the CMC-660 was present during the Great War[18] and at least some time after the Brood War.[36] Its visor is apparently capable of polarizing, displaying colors such as gold[37] and black[38] It features wrist mounted Perdition flamethrowers.[18]
This article or section contains information about StarCraft: Ghost, which has been declared non-canon. Elements may be taken as 'flavor lore' however.
After the Brood War, this was expanded to napalm rockets, capable of being guided by the user.[39][40]
Second GenerationEdit
The current generation of CMC-660 armor possesses a few aesthetic differences to its predecessor. The visor is gone and its servo system is also more exposed.[41]
A key improvement over the previous generation is the implementation of incinerator gauntlets, which channel the suit's fuel through multiple ports rather than the single port of the previous generation. This results in a much wider area of flame without any loss of intensity.[35]
5-4 Armored Infantry SuitEdit
The 5-4 Armored Infantry Suit[34] is a heavily remodeled version of the CMC-660 used by marauders.[42] It is armed with two Quad K12 "Punisher" grenade launchers on each arm.[42] The suit's autoloader is equipped to quickly manufacture and load hundreds of standard Punisher grenades.[34]
The suit's tolerance against impacts is much greater than the wearer's. By the Second Great War, Wolfe Industries had released a kinetic foam undersuit that better protected, and improved the survivability of, the wearer.[43]
- Machinima.com(src)
- The CMC Powered Combat Suit was voted 9th in the Top 10 Video Game Armor by Machinima.com[44] and 11th out of the top 13 in a similar feature by Maxim.com.[45]
- In the StarCraft beta, terran marines (or "marauders" as they were then known) and firebats wore pressurized power suits,[22] but this was dropped for the CMC-series before the final release. The pressurized power suit made a return in the novels.[12]
- As promotion for the midnight launch of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, Fantastic Arts created real-world CMC armor for cosplay, along with C-14 rifles.[46]
- According to StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils, the CMC acronymn stands for "Confederate Marine Corps".[1] According to battle.net trivia however, the acronymn stands for the Cirion Multinational Corporation.[47]
- CMC armor has been used by a number of gag characters and races. Examples include the murloc[48][49] and tauren marine[50] and the character of Stitches (in his "good" form).[51]

Recently I switched to subversion and some of my projects don't compile anymore for the THUMB target. I get an error message from thumb-epoc-pe-gcc.exe about invalid arguments. I realy need to fix this problem otherwise I'm not able to contine developing.
The problems seem to be the .svn directories which are added by subversion. These driectories are included in the search path for header files as well and the commandline seems to be too long. The problem is the same with CW Personal 2.8.1 and 3.1
Is there a way to disable an automatic search of subdirectories of includes directories?
Can anybody give me a hint how CodeWarrior creates the commands for the gcc compiler. Maybe I can go through the scripts and firther track down the problem.
Best Regards,

You can outwit cybercriminals. You just have to be a little smarter than they are and never think, "It can't happen to MY computer." There's nothing special about your computer that makes it intrinsically immune to cyber threats.
What we know today as "email" is a really a system -- a system of interlocking parts, each of which is essential for ordinary people to communicate effectively with one or many others. As a part of the Huffington Post's History of Email Series, this post provides details on the first email system created at UMDNJ in 1978.
Just for fun (and in honor of Labor Day and the people who work for a living), here is a list of buzzwords, biz speak and hipster droppings that should be banned from every business meeting forevermore.
On August 30,1982, V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai received official recognition as the inventor of email from the U.S. government, for the work he had done in 1978.
There are many, varied, and well-known advantages to networking. But let's be honest: sometimes it can be a real pain in the a**. There should be an app for that.
We all have our own visions and definitions of what an ideal smartphone should look like -- some people crave more storage space, while others yearn for more virtual controls or limitless storage. Instead of dreaming about the future, let's take a look at some of the latest innovations.
SB 962 will provide especially important protections for our children, who are among the most avid smartphone users and often do not take steps to protect their private information.
For the past few years, whenever I meet a new startup, I treat them like a rock band. Not only because I believe startups are rock stars, but because I have learned -- from my experience as the owner of an indie record label and as an early-stage investor -- that there are a lot of similarities between the two.
It's easy, for instance, for a parent to access their child's name and Social Security number, then open up a phony account--even if the victim is literally a child. Most companies don't check the ages, so that's why this crime can go undetected for years.
Leaders parade decision-making as rational and strategic because they "have the numbers" to support it. The tech revolution with its miraculous information-processing seems to support the idea of data as king.
When I started writing about the gender disparity I saw in Silicon Valley, I took intense fire from the boys club. They could get away with this because such frat-boy behavior was considered acceptable in Silicon Valley. But things are changing for the better.
Unfortunately, in this world of mobile devices, we must face one harsh reality -- all of them need to be recharged. With that in mind, we took a look at several items that can make that task a bit easier.
The government's quick willingness to shut down communications is what got me (and others) thinking about the kill switch. It makes it very easy for police to simply shut down all cell phones using the technology to stifle coverage and communication.
If voters care about myriad issues, and see elections as an effective forum in which they can act upon those issues, why have they stopped racing to the ballot box?
Motortrend is leveraging their newfound digital presence by partnering with brands to do integrated content and sponsorship, like their series Road Kill with Dickies or Holley brands. There's a lot more under the hood to discover.
Like most Americans, I grew up on a steady diet of fictional robots. They were occasionally friendly or cooperative, often murderous, typically clumsy and tone-deaf to human emotions and needs
The real issue is not about the number of deaths robots have caused; rather, it's about helping the general population have a better understanding of robots.
Most commonly, thieves will harvest kids' dormant Social Security numbers and use them to illegally obtain jobs or open fraudulent bank and credit accounts. Many victims don't realize there's a problem until years later, when they are turned down because of the poor credit history someone else racked up in their name.

We are in the NFL quiet period, which means it is time to make some noise. That's what ESPN's Ron Jaworski is doing, as he is releasing his yearly "big board" of NFL quarterbacks.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer found his way on the board early. "Jaws" lists him as the 23rd best QB in the league, ahead of Ryan Tannehill and Michael Vick, but below Josh Freeman and Sam Bradford.
You would think that it would mean that there would be plenty of criticism of the veteran. There isn't.
He calls the trade for Palmer "an excellent move" for the Cardinals.
He also addresses the notion that Palmer turns the ball over too much, calling it a "disconnect between perception and reality." He cites only 14 picks in 591 dropbacks, but notes a few are "dramatic and memorable."
More postives? Palmer's arm strength. "Palmer still has very good arm strength," he says. "He has the mentality of a strong-armed passer, willing and confident in pushing the ball down the field...Arm strength is not throwing it 50 yards in the air; it's driving those deeper intermediate throws between the defenders."
He believes that Palmer "will fit well in Arians' aggressive, downfield passing game."
More Jaws: "Palmer will allow the Cardinals' offense to attack the entire field. He gives Arizona a multidimensional passing game. He reads coverage well. He can beat the blitz. He's efficient in the red zone. He can execute a high volume of offense."
All this begs the question -- with all the glowing praise, why is he not rated higher? It is actually nothing about him, but rather concerns for the offensive line to give him the time he needs.
So...since he doesn't have any negatives, shouldn't he be ranked higher? Probably.
But I get it. He has played for awful teams and is joining a historically awful team. That tends to cloud things a bit.
What do you think?

I am doing some 2d barcodes for a clothing company for a marketing campaign. The barcode should be read with a mobile phone.
Does anyone know how I determine what size the barcode should be for the phone to read it?
I assume that the megapixel of the camera determine how small the barcode can be, but are there other things that matter? Like software, etc?
As I understand the standard for the nokia code is datamatrixes, if I use a QR code will this matter on the readability?

PEORIA, Ill. --There has been strong reaction to a proposal to outsource the City of Peoria's Code Enforcement services.
City officials were invited by Councilmembers Eric Turner and Chuck Weaver to discuss the matter at Thursday morning's breakfast chat.
Preliminary plans call for the city's housing inspectors to be replaced by a contractor.
The private contractor would be secured through the bidding process, with the goal of saving the city money, but not everyone likes the plan.
"I'm not for it at all," said Peoria resident Lavetta Ricca. "I feel like we at least have some control over the inspectors while we have it in house and every neighborhood person that I have talked to is not happy about this."
"Part of the reason we are looking at that is cost and another is performance, quite frankly," said City Manager Patrick Urich. "We really are looking at how we can improve our outcomes for our neighborhoods and knowing we have limited resources, we really want to look at how we can utilize the private sector in the delivery of services."
The Peoria City Council is expected to take up the issue of outsourcing code enforcement services during its next meeting.

The 2011 Senior Bowl is over, and the final score belies how one-sided it really was.
The South scored a 24-10 victory over the North with a balanced attack, thanks to two passing touchdowns from Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder and 126 yards on the ground from its runners. The South's defense also stifled the North offense, allowing 18 yards and zero points in the first half and a net zero rushing yards for the game.
The bright spot of the South's day was its second half passing game, keyed by Jake Locker and Ricky Stanzi. Locker, who struggled mightily in the first quarter as the North's starter, completing just one of three passes, recovered to have a nice day: the Washington signal caller completed seven of 10 passes for 98 yards.
Stanzi threw for 87 yards, completing seven of 12 throws.
Louisville's Bilal Powell led a deep South rushing attack, tallying 50 yards on 10 carries. Miami receiver Loenard Hankerson led all players in yards from scrimmage, hauling in five passes for 99 yards and the game's first touchdown.
TCU's Jeremy Kerley caught Ponder's second touchdown pass, a 23-yard strike in the fourth quarter.

By Nathan Brown The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — The Riverfield All-Stars and manager Seth Kelley have been down this road before.
After losing the team's first game in the state tournament earlier this month, Riverfield ran the table en route to back-to-back state titles and another shot at the Central Region championship and a trip to the Little League Softball World Series.
A five-run lead wasn't enough late in the team's opening pool play game in the regional tournament against Appleton, Wis., on Saturday, losing 6-5 in extra innings.
Kelley's team bounced back from the setback with a definitive 8-0 rout of Webb City, Mo., on Sunday.
Today, Riverfield faces an undefeated team from North Ottowa, Mich., that has outscored its opponents by 20 combined runs in its first two victories.
A win today wouldn't secure Riverfield a spot in the semifinals to be played Thursday. A loss, though, wouldn't take a berth in the semis out of Riverfield's hands.
Kelley said he hasn't quite communicated the gravity of this afternoon's game against North Ottowa because he's seen how Riverfield has performed in the past under loads of pressure. In the first round of state, his team lost 9-7 to South Bend Southeast, a game he said Riverfield shouldn't have struggled to win.
"I don't want to put a bunch of pressure on them, unneeded pressure, and then they go into the game and feel tight and don't play the game they can play," Kelley said. "I don't think Michigan is that much better than us, and I don't think we're that much better than them.
"You've got to play like it's just another game, and that's hard to do, but that's what you've got to tell them."
The biggest threat North Ottowa poses, according to Kelley, is the team's strength from the mound. The Michigan team's star pitcher, Leah Vaughan, struck out 12 batters Sunday in a 10-3 win against Freeport, Ill. After her team fell behind early 2-0, Vaughan proved to be the backbone for North Ottowa, giving her teammates time to get their bats going before an eight-run fourth inning put the game out of reach.
Kelley said his girls have to swing aggressively in the batter's box against Vaughan and try to stay ahead in the count to keep North Ottowa's pitcher on her toes. If Riverfield can do that, Kelley thinks his team has more than a fighting chance.
"Anybody can be rattled if you start getting to them and put the bat on it," he said. "You can't sit up there and let her throw strikes without swinging your bat. When you get down in the count, and she's got control of the count, then she can throw pitches she wants. She doesn't have to throw strikes, and then you start chasing.
"If we're aggressive and put our bats on it early, that'll help us get to her a bit and also help us try to control her rather than her control us with the count."
Through three days of the tournament, Riverfield can still control its own destiny toward a spot in the semis with wins against North Ottowa and Freeport to close out pool play.
A loss today would mean Kelley's team would have to take down Freeport on Wednesday, then root for North Ottowa to beat Appleton later in the day – assuming the Wisconsin team beats an 0-3 Webb City team today – and then pull out a tiebreaker against Freeport and Appleton.
Saturday's late-game loss made things a bit more complicated for Kelley's squad to make it back to the World Series in Portland, Ore., for the second year in a row, but he said his girls have conquered adversity before this season, and he has no reason to believe they won't do it again.
"When things aren't that comfortable, that's when you've really got to find a way inside of you to focus and concentrate even more," Kelley said. "I'm hoping they're just going to come out (today) like it's just another game and they're ready to go."
Central Region Schedule at Ruben F. Glick Little League Central Region Headquarters Indianapolis Today: Riverfield vs. North Ottowa, Mich., 1:30 p.m. Wednesday: Riverfield vs. Freeport, Ill., 11 a.m. Thursday: Semifinals, 11 a.m. / Championship 3 p.m.

Rotini with Shrimp Recipe
A lovely lemon-dill sauce coats this colorful blend of shrimp, rotini pasta and minced green onions. "It's attractive enough to serve guests," says Janice Mitchell of Aurora, Colorado, "and no one will guess the creamy sauce is low-fat."
- 4 quarts water
- 8 ounces uncooked spiral pasta
- 1-1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- In a Dutch oven, bring water to a boil. Stir in pasta; return to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add shrimp; boil 3 minutes longer or until pasta is tender and shrimp turn pink.
- In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the wine or broth, lemon peel, dill, garlic, salt and pepper. Drain pasta and shrimp; place in a serving bowl. Add sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with onions. Yield: 4 servings.

It's the calm before the storm as the war rages on in Naruto Series 28 "Ultimate Ninja Storm 3". With each card featuring artwork straight from the aptly named video game series, Series 28 brings the Fifth Great Ninja War to a higher crescendo than ever before. With Naruto joining the battle in his Nine Tails controlled form, the war seems to be swinging towards the Allied Shinobi Army.
However, pressing the snake into a corner isn't wise as Kabuto bares his fangs, summoning the most fearsome ninjas from ages past, including the previous Raikage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage, as well as the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. With the war quickly spiraling out of control, it's up to you to take control of the battlefield as the Storm continues to grow!
In addition to the normal card game, find online codes in packs of Ultimate Ninja Storm to unlock special features in the video game of the same name!

Cruise ship docked at Agios Nikolaos, Crete. The town has a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere, a postcard-perfect marina, buzzy nightlife and some wonderful beaches.
Voulismeni Lake, Agios Nikolaos
Voulismeni Lake, supposedly bottomless, is located in the center of Agios Nikolaos town, at the foot of some cliffs. It is a lagoon linked to the sea by a narrow canal. According to the mythology, the goddess Athena used to bathe in the lake. It is an especially picturesque site with many open-air cafes and restaurants along the banks.
Agios Nikolaos church
Agios Nikolaos church, a small Byzantine chapel contains superb frescoes from the eighth, and tenth centuries and is a rare example of an early Byzantine church.
Agios Nikolas Promenade
There is a lovely promenade along the seafront and most of the Voulismeni lake, ideal for a gentle stroll.
Almiros Beach
A mile south of Agios Nikolaos is Almiros beach, widely considered to be the area's best beach. It's sandy, relatively quiet, and well protected from the winds. There are regular buses from the town centre. An alternative is Kitroplatias Beach, just ¼ mile south east from the cruise port, an easy walk.
Knossos Palace
Knossos Palace is where the fearsome Minotaur is said to have lurked. The palace is the legacy of a civilization dating back to 4000 B.C., when the Minoan empire flourished on the island of Crete. According to Greek mythology, the palace was designed by famed architect Dedalos with such complexity that no one placed in it could ever find its exit. Explore the complex ruins to find the Hall of the Royal Guard decorated with frescoes and shields houses , the Hall of the Double Axes, the King's Chamber with the alabaster throne, the Queen's Apartment, and yet more beautiful courtyards and shrines. The palace, situated just outside the town of Iraklion, is about 20 miles from Agios Nikolaos.

whate the device and paper size and other plotting information
The Plot event does not provide such information.
It is limited to what the "BeginPlotEventArgs" class provides.
I was on vacation for a while. So, this reply might be a late. But here it goes anyway.
Have you looked at Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PlotReactorManag
It raises events when AutoCAD plots: Begin/EndPlot, Begin/EndDocument, BeginEndPage... I am not sure what "Plot" event Balaji was referring to, but PlotReactorManager class provides all information you need to know (copies of plot, paper size, plot device name...via BeginPlot/Document/PageEventArgs.
So, simply get an instance of PlotReactorManager and handle the events raised by it, you'll get all the information whan AutoCAD plots. Specifically, if you need to know paper size, you need to handle BeginPage, and the BeginPageEventArgs has a property "PlotInfo", which intern has a property "ValidatedSettings" (type of PlotSettings), from which you can get the information of paper size, scale...
I posted an article a couple of years ago that might be of help to you:
Sorry, I did not pay attention to the "BeginPageEventArgs" class.
Thanks to Norman for correcting me and the link to his nice blog post.
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices Public Class AMRLISP Dim WithEvents PlotManager As PlotReactorManager Private Sub PlotManager_BeginPlot(sender As Object, e As BeginPlotEventArgs) Handles PlotManager.BeginPlot MsgBox("BeginPlot") End Sub End Class
thankyou Mr. norman.yuan
can help me with above code?? plz
the message doesn't appear ... Why ??
Can you try this ?
Public Sub InitializePlotEvents() mPlotReactorManager = New PlotReactorManager() AddHandler mPlotReactorManager.BeginPlot, AddressOf BeginPlot AddHandler mPlotReactorManager.EndPlot, AddressOf EndPlot End Sub Private Sub BeginPlot(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginPlotEventAr
gs) WriteMessage("BeginPlot") End Sub Private Sub EndPlot(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.EndPlotEventArgs ) WriteMessage("EndPlot") End Sub
Edit :
Also remember to set the "BACKGROUNDPLOT" system variable to 0.
i need to use events not delegates
i know this way but i need to use the events , but i don't know what can i write in Initialize Method to run my events
i solve it
i wort in Initialize Method
PlotManager = New PlotReactorManager

E3 2012: Nintendo Producer On Larger Screen For 3DS, Smash Bros Wii U
Posted on June 9, 2012 AT 01:54pm
Even though the Nintendo 3DS is finally selling at a pretty steady clip, anticipation of a redesign is still fresh in everyone's mind. That includes Nintendo's own Hideki Konno, who thinks the DSi XL's large screen is one of the better things the DS line has done.
While talking with Engadget at E3 2012 this week, the long-time producer of several Mario titles acknowledged that the larger screen is "much easier" to look at. He's definitely not wrong, and considering that many 3DS owners have vocally stressed the discomfort of dealing with the 3DS' small screen (plus the headache-inducing 3D effects), it would certainly behoove Nintendo to have a new, larger model out for the holidays—especially one with an extra Circle Pad.
Konno also referenced a bunch of things in the works at Nintendo, stating that it would make sense for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (rumored to be titled Super Smash Bros. Universe) to feature crossover content with the 3DS version as well.
When asked about the Miiverse' social features, Konno hinted that they could be showing up on the 3DS and mobile apps, and not just for the console. That depends on well the Miiverse is received, probably referencing how the network handles censoring.

I started my day with a mission: to wax poetic about politics. Thus, #FiscalCliffHaikus was born.
Seriously, is there a better way to wrap your brain around a potential congressional showdown, involving billions of dollars and many moving parts, than by writing a five-seven-five syllable poem? I say no.
Many of you channeled your inner poets, offering up haikus encapsulating many of the dynamics and positions in the fiscal cliff debate. In came the prose from reporters, staffers, influencers and political junkies. (I'm still waiting on a congressman or senator to offer one up -- who wants to make history?).
Here are some favorites, and you can still play along – leave a haiku in the comments' section, or tweet it with the #FiscalCliffHaikus hashtag. Onward, political poets!

Cracker Barrel apologizes for pulling Duck Dynasty merchandise
Cracker Barrel has apologized to its customers after pulling Duck Dynasty merchandise. The casual restaurant chain decided to stop selling certain Duck Dynasty-branded products after Phil Robertson made controversial comments about gay people and black people in an interview with GQ magazine.
The company posted a statement on its Facebook page on Friday:"Cracker Barrel's mission is Pleasing People. We operate within the ideals of fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment of all people. These ideals are the core of our corporate culture.
"We continue to offer Duck Commander products in our stores.
"We removed selected products which we were concerned might offend some of our guests while we evaluate the situation.
"We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so."
But Cracker Barrel's executives backpedaled less than 48 hours later after customers berated the company for the decision. The company apologized to its customers on Facebook on Sunday.
"Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:
"When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that's just what we've done.
"You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren't shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.
"We listened.
"Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.
"And, we apologize for offending you.
"We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.
"We sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our Cracker Barrel family."
The first post received just over 4,000 likes, but the subsequent apology note had over 48,000 likes.
Facebook user Suzanne Sawyer Hines commented, "Whoever made this decision should be FIRED!!!!! think about your TARGET audience and consumers. You're in the Bible Belt. Way to cower to the GLADD community. The last few (hundred) times I ate at your restaurant, I saw traditional families and older couples. I'm officially done with your place."
Cracker Barrel has over 600 stores in 42 different states. It is headquartered in Lebanon, Tenn.

What a fantastic climb! We climbed this as an approach to Assembly Line - it starts at the Broken Tree area and finishes on top of the pillar where Assembly Line begins. Just to the right of this line is "Broken Tree" - another 10a that follows an obvious steep dihedral formed by, I believe, the Everlasting column.
Stoppers, friends. Mostly thin. There is a pin en-route to the crux and a bomber bolt protecting the crux. Fixed anchors. I used a pair of #2 camalots, but definately nothing larger.

She's only 13, but she's dreaming big.
"I like to dance," said Sydney LeBoeuf, a student in Louisiana. "I like to do ballet."
But the confidence she shows in her pointe shoes didn't always come across in other places, like the classroom. Sydney said kids started bullying her after she tripped one day in class.
"Everyone was like, 'You broke the floor with your face,'" said Sydney.
As a new student, she thought they did it to all the new kids on the block.
"I would walk away, or I would tell them to be quiet, or I would turn my back and not pay attention," said Sydney.
She thought the terror would go away.
"It stopped maybe for two days, maybe," said Sydney. "But then it would pick right back up again."
Sad feelings and unhappiness set in, but she still didn't report it until several months later, when depression took over.
"It was going on for so long, and I was just tired of it," said Sydney. "I just broke down. I don't know, just the thought of, I just wanted it to stop."
Her mother Carla LeBoeuf, a former teacher, was blind-sided.
"I was floored, absolutely floored, because the things that I would've seen in any one of my students when I was a teacher, I didn't see when it was under my nose," said Carla.
A hospital stay came next.
"She was all for it," said Carla. "I think she knew she needed to be there. For me, I really felt like a failure. How did I not see it? How did I rationalize? I just thought it was teenage girl stuff."
Seven days. That's how long Sydney stayed in the hospital. Away from her family, her friends, and the bullies. There she recovered, rehabilitated and became a new person.
"I feel that I'm at a point that I'm so much stronger that I'll never go back there," said Sydney.
"She was happier, because she knew we were all on her side," said Carla. "She made mention of that several times that she didn't know that she had that much support."
Sydney said she's now good friends with one of the bullies.
"The girl who would call me names, I think she personally changed, because she heard what happened to me," said Sydney. "And she changed."
But Sydney and her mother know this ordeal taught everyone involved a lesson.
"I've learned she's a person who feels things very deeply, more so than she shows, and internalizes a lot more than she lets on," said Carla. "But she didn't let the bullies get the better of her and she's stronger than that."
Now, Sydney is encouraging other victims to stand up and speak up before it's too late, even saying she wishes she'd said something sooner.
"Before it gets too bad, talk to someone so it doesn't get worse," said Sydney. "If you don't want to talk to a parent or a teacher, you can talk to a friend."
Sydney's mother is working on legislation to make bullying in a school environment a criminal offense.

Contact: Philip Dunn (207) 581-2326; David Munson (207) 581-3777
ORONO, Maine – Eighteen students from the Construction Management Technology and Civil and Environmental Engineering programs competed in the 17th Annual Associated Schools of Construction Region I Bidding Competition held in Fairfield, NJ on November 9-12, 2006. Facing tough competition from more than a dozen schools, UMaine teams finished second in both the Heavy Civil and Design –Build categories.
The ASC is a nationwide organization of schools that offer construction management programs to promote and teach the standards of the construction industry. The greater construction contracting community sponsors the event with major contributing sponsors serving as the coordinators of each of the competition categories. Major sponsors provide actual project information to students and act as the judges for student team entries within their respective competition. Student teams use that information to prepare a full construction bid, means and methods, and schedule to build the project that is presented to them.
The team advisor was Philip Dunn, Jr. PE, Assistant Professor of Construction Management Technology at UMaine. Other sponsors participated in a job fair that offers each student participant the opportunity to learn about potential jobs with the represented companies.
Students competing in the competition from UMaine included:
Heavy Civil: Ben Winsor (Sr. in CIE), Brayden Sheive (Jr. in CMT), Zachary Davis (Jr. in CMT), Ryan Levesque (Jr. in CMT), Matt Morin (Jr. in CMT), Michael Morneau (So. in CMT)
Design-Build: Kate Hurley (Sr. in CMT), Jeff Kelley (Sr. in CMT), Jesse Nash (Sr. in CIE), Brock Bessey (Jr. in CIE), Travis Hamel (Sr. in CIE), and Brandon Blake (Jr. in CIE)
Commercial Building: David Manz (Sr. in CMT), Pat Skall (Sr. in CMT), Brandon Cummings (Jr. in CMT), Jason Jendrasko (Sr. in CMT), Kabe Mickon (Jr. in CMT), and Rob Sampson (So. in CMT)
Special assistance came from Mr. Tim Sommers and Mr. Garret Bertolini of Pizzagalli Construction, Mr. Brian Watson of Cianbro Corporation, and Assistant Professor Ann Joles of the Communications and Journalism Department.

It's that time of year again. Its nine days until the New Year – a time when lots of people are making New Year's Resolutions!
December is a perfect time to ask the question, "What will it take to win a new world?" While it will take a lot of things, the main thing we need, is more organizing. We need lots and lots (and lots and lots) of people. A hundred million people fully desiring social transformation – longing for it, working for it, telling others about it, actively participating in it – wouldn't be an exaggeration.
It's obvious this is a big task. So what is our role? Well, one job of organizers is to help facilitate the type of personal and social transformation that comes from working together and deciding things together. So first, as organizers, we need to be committed to getting work done – to following through with tasks we commit to doing; picking up slack when others become temporarily unable to do so (stress, work, etc…); being honest about what our skills are and what we are capable and willing to do.
The second thing I wanted to mention is about personal transformation. Paulo Freire, writing in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed said: "Liberation is thus a childbirth, and a painful one. The person who emerges is a new person, viable only as the oppressor-oppressed contradiction is superseded by the humanization of all people… No longer oppressor nor longer oppressed, but human in the process of achieving freedom." It is important to remember that each of us aren't "there yet", but rather still must go through that difficult transformation.
So here comes the point of my letter!
With New Years Day just nine days away, I am asking that each of us consider writing a list of commitments about organizing and personal transformation. Write them down, perhaps laminate them, and keep them in your pocket. If you are a student organizer (like me), they may be about how you will start knocking on some dorm doors everyday and having those hard political conversations with new people or people who you know you disagree with. It might be committing to doing canvassing on your campus or in your neighborhood a few days a week. It might mean tabling, or flyering, or holding political parties (which appeal to a wide audience and not some particular subculture that might alienate everyone else). It might be something about working with new movement organizers to develop their ability to be great organizers and self-sufficient leaders. There are so many things we can commit to doing that will help build and strengthen and make our movements more supportive. (Organizing commitments are probably best made into concrete goals!).
Or in regards to personal transformation it might be something like "I will always assume good intentions in those I work with", or "I will trust my political friends and allies", or "I will look for the invisible work that people are doing around me and thank then for it and do things that respect their hard work". Or, for a lot of people, it might be something as simple (though profound) as "I will have humility and respect others". Or maybe the "golden rule" of "do unto others, as you would have others, do unto you." Or better yet, commit to a bunch of these things, since we should be doing all of them anyway!
All of these are really powerful commitments that have the possibility to transform your work and institutionalize the good behaviors and values that aren't often found in society. It helps us to humanize ourselves and each other in the face of a society which seeks to dehumanize everything and everyone. It is a commitment to not let the juggernaut of chaos have control over the one thing we can control – our souls.
Better yet, find a buddy to make your commitments with. Have an active listening session once or twice a month with them. Sit down with a friend who made their own commitments, and each spend 5 or 10 minutes just listening to each other about the progress you are making on your resolutions. While the other person is talking – don't talk, don't offer advice, don't judge them. Just really try to listen. Then switch. At the end, I suspect, both of you will feel better about your work and be able to see how difficult it really is to build a movement.
We often like to feel that we are these unbeatable agents of social change. These all-powerful organizers who are untouched by the ills of society. We try, as best as possible, to create spaces that make us feel safe. But we all know the truth. We know that we are as dehumanized and torn by this world as the next person.
How we are somewhat unique is that we have all actively committed to changing the world.
In 2008, let us each renew that commitment. Let us state our willingness to take our struggle to the gates of hell and back if it is necessary to build our new world.
But let us start with ourselves.
May we all continue to work for peace and justice in 2008 – in a world that so desperately needs healing, hope, and reconciliation.

San Rafael, CA--Save our Civic Center Neighborhood
The County is in the process of evaluating the east parking lot, patanque court and dog park for a Public Safety building designed to house emergency services, communications and their vehicles. This is a residential area, there are 9 children under the age of 10 on Golf Ave. We are concerned for the safety of our children and other pedestrians in the area. This proposal would block access to the Marin County Fair and would negatively affect the property values in our neighborhood. Let the County find another more appropriate site for the development of this facility that does not impact pedestrian traffic and areas where children play.

Please click on the colored area below where you most often boat.
Living is the real life preserver. With our 2014 Sport Boats, when it's time to unwind, a leisurely afternoon at the dock just isn't going to cut it. It's time to mix things up and get the blood pumping. It's time to feel alive and get started on a lifetime of memories. Ranging in size from 19 to 35 feet, these premium boats have more standards and features than other boats in their class.
Your weekends are calling. Spending your weekends on the water opens up a new world of possibilities. You do more. Experience more. And, yeah, you live more. This is where nothing is off the table and everything is possible.
Our 2014 Sundancers, ranging from 26 to 37 feet, are a hallmark of achievement and the signature of the Sea Ray brand. And among the top-end of our Sport Cruisers is the 37 foot Venture which is, quite simply, a new breed of boat that breaks all the rules.
Soak it all in. Fully enjoying the water is one of life's greatest pleasures. And once you've got a taste for it, there's no letting go. It becomes a part of you. Prepare for a new perspective. The voyage of your life is at hand.
LaunchPad is your dedicated source for the latest Sea Ray news, engaging lifestyle content, helpful how-tos and rewarding special offers.
Molded fiberglass with a gel-coated exterior finish makes up the structure of the hull, deck and some interior parts of your Sea Ray. The gel coat is the outer surface, often colored, that presents the shiny, smooth appearance that is associated with fiberglass products. In some areas, this gel coat surface is painted or taped for styling purposes.
Wash the fiberglass regularly with Yacht Brite Brite Wash and clean, fresh water. Use Yacht Brite Pro Polish on gel coated surfaces to maintain the luster. In northern climates, a semiannual polishing may suffice for the season. In southern climates, a quarterly application of polish will be required for adequate protection.
Sea Ray's recommended polish and sealant is Yacht Brite Pro Polish. If the gel coated surface gloss cannot be restored by Yacht Brite Pro Polish, power buff with a compound such as Yacht Brite Buff Magic followed with Yacht Brite Pro Polish.
Caution: Care should be utilized in waxing commonly walked-upon areas of the boat to ensure that they are not dangerously slippery. If gel coat is not maintained and becomes heavily oxidized, light sanding may be required before buffing.
Fiberglass/Gel Coat Stains and Scratches
Gel coated and painted surfaces are very resistant to deep stains. Common surface stains can be removed with diluted household detergents, providing these detergents do not contain ammonia or chlorine. Porcelain-cleaning powders are too abrasive and often contain chlorine and ammonia, either of which would permanently discolor the gel coat and paint. Minor scratches and deeper stains that do not penetrate the gel coat may be removed by light sanding and buffing with the prescribed Yacht Brite products.
About Colored Gel Coats
Chemical lab test have proven that colored gel coats will show more chalking than white gel coat due to an eventual degradation from weathering. Chalking results from a breakdown of a gel coated surface into an extremely fine powder. When this happens, the color of the part whitens. The chalk is strictly on the surface. Most house paints are designed to chalk and then wash off clean with water. Gel coat chalk, however, does not wash off.
One can extend the life of white or colored gel coat by following Sea Ray's recommended maintenance instructions: Use Yacht Brite Buff Magic to remove any chalking by hand or machine followed by Yacht Brite Pro Polish. Yacht Brite Serious Shine will help maintain the luster and gloss of the original gel coat finish.
Permanently Moored or Docked Boats
Boats should be rotated in a slip as often as they are polished. This will eliminate too much ultraviolet exposure and degradation to occur on only one side of the boat. If permanently moored in water, your boat will collect marine growth on its bottom. This will detract from the boat's beauty and greatly affect its performance. There are two methods of preventing this:
1. Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap and water.
2. Paint the hull below the waterline with a good antifouling paint. DO NOT paint the engine drive surfaces.
NOTE: There are EPA regulations regarding bottom paint application. Consult your Sea Ray® dealer for proper application methods.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Very cold temperatures have returned to the area, and the forecast is calling for even more cold weather next week. Those temperatures play a role in the decision local school districts make on whether or not to cancel classes.
Wind chill and how many minutes it would take for a person outdoors to get frostbite are also important factors.
Perrysburg Schools have already used four of their calamity days this year, which means they have just one left before they'll have to start making up the time. Superintendent Tom Hosler says even though it looks like it will be extremely cold next week, they will not make the decision until it's time.
"There comes a factor where we have to have common sense," Hosler said. "Kids need to bundle up, and they put scarves on and they get to school. We can't stop educating students every time the temperatures fall below zero."
He says there is no magic cutoff temperature. There is nothing in the Ohio Revised Code that says when it reaches a certain temperature schools must close.
Hosler says he must consider the safety of students. He considers road conditions and how student drivers might handle them, as well as the younger students who might have to walk to school.
"You think about a first grader who has to walk to school that morning and it takes a first grader how long to walk a mile? So we're thinking, okay, maybe 15-20 minutes," he said.
If during that time there is no chance of frostbite occurring, school will carry on.
The other thing Hosler must consider is whether or not the buses will work.
"Buses start to behave a little bit differently," he said. "Because of diesel [fuel in the buses], there's some problems that can develop on the road, so the last thing we want to do is strand students at a bus stop."
