My other PvP idea (Relentless KA Assassin) turned out to be unfeasible with the latest FPE skill stats from The Edge 2.0. So I've come up with another approach for a "relentless" or "pressure" assassin. Basically, I've given up on the teleport skills as being too energy-intensive to fit into an alpha strike, or else taking too long to recharge. I've also given up on pretty much every 15e skill, no matter how good, because I feel that they tend to hurt the reliability of a build or make decent alpha strikes impossible unless you want to restrict yourself to +energy armor.
Is this build as "uber" as one with a strong (but FRAGILE) spike combo? No. But its spike output is nonetheless quite decent, and most importantly, this build is very hard to stop. This is strong pressure build with practically no downtime, and it can deal with most of the common things that shut down an assassin.
- Takes advantage of mobility tactics
- ALL damage is unavoidable (cannot be evaded or blocked)
- Significant spike damage
- Self-healing and damage mitigation
- Self-removal for both conditions and hexes
- Has a rez, which can be swapped for any other useful skill if you don't need a rez
- The lead-off-dual combo recharges in 10 seconds and costs only 20 energy
- The fourth damage skill is chain-independent and recharges every 20 seconds.
- All non-damage skills are very cheap and the longest recharge is 8 seconds.
- The build is based on 12 DM / 13 CS, which gives you slighly lower auto-attack DPS but plenty of energy. You can easily substitute a 16 DM / 8 CS build to go for higher DPS if you don't run low on energy when playing this.
Here's the build. Sorry for the ugly format but that's The Edge for you. At least the skill stats are solid (based on FPE).
Unstoppable Pressure Assassin
Class: Assassin / Monk
Attributes: (cost) '+' indicates Rune attributes
Critical Strikes: 12+1 (97)
Dagger Mastery: 8+4 (37)
Deadly Arts: 7+1 (28)
Shadow Arts: 8+1 (37)
Total attribute points used: 199/200
Skills: [Attribute] (Energy, Cast Time, Recharge TIme)
1) Siphon Speed [Deadly Arts] (5,1,5) Hex: For 10 seconds, target foe moves 20% slower and you move 20% faster.
2) Dancing Daggers [Deadly Arts] (5,1,5) Spell: Send out three Dancing Daggers at target foe. Each striking for 15 earth damage if they hit. Dancing Daggers has half the normal range. This skill counts as a lead attack.
3) Entangling Asp [Deadly Arts] (10,1,20) Spell: Entangling Asp must follow a lead attack. Target foe is knocked down and becomes Poisoned for 13 seconds.
4) Fox Fangs [Dagger Mastery] (5,0,8) Off hand attack: Must follow a lead attack. Fox Fangs cannot be 'blocked' or 'evaded' and strikes for +18 damage if it hits.
5) Nine Tail Strike [Dagger Mastery] (10,0,10) Dual attack: Must follow an off-hand attack. Nine Tail Strike cannot be 'blocked' or 'evaded' and strikes for +35 damage if it hits.
6) Shadow Refuge [Shadow Arts] (5,1,8) Enchantment: For 4 seconds, you take half damage. When Shadow Refuge ends, you are healed for 84.
7) Blessed Light [Divine Favor] (10,1,7) Spell: Heal target ally for 10 Health and remove one Condition and one Hex. This is an elite skill.
8) Resurrect [none] (10,6,5) Spell: Resurrect target party member.
Running this build
Running this build is dirt simple and you have many flexible options.
First off, you don't need crippling. I can't find any decent way to consistently make an unavoidable cripple that isn't way too expensive. Siphon Speed, however, is very nearly a cripple and it's unavoidable and lasts for ever and is cheap to cast and recast if it gets removed. You have an effective 40% speed differential for as long as you want it, and you can reapply it to the same target or new targets every 5 seconds if need be.
The basic combo is unavoidable: Dancing Daggers > Fox Fangs > Nine Tail Strike. Don't poo-poo Nine Tail Strike--that +35 bonus x 2 is massive. It's really not *that* far behind the Deep Wound from Twisting Fangs. When you consider that it *cannot* be avoided and that it recycles fast enough to apply twice in the space that you can apply Twisting Fangs, this is a winner. Dancing Daggers is no slouch either, doing 46 points of unavoidable damage.
Once every 20 seconds, you can toss the Entangling Asp into the combo chain right after Dancing Daggers. It knocks down the target, helping you catch up to them even faster, and it does 136 points of damage if it runs the full time without being removed. Your lead recharges in 5 seconds so you can always choose instead to spike for the lead-off-dual combo first, wait 5 seconds, and then hit with the lead again followed by Entangling Asp.
On the utility side, you have one of the best melee self-heals in the game, IMO, which effectively gives you 110 AL defense against everything for 4 out of every 8 seconds, then gives you 84 health back at the end of the 8 seconds. It's cheap enough and fast enough to spam over and over, both in combat and while kiting. You also have a single spell slot that provides a fast and reasonably-costed hex/condition remover, which I feel is very important to keep an Asassin running smoothly.
Finally, you have a rez in the basic build. Don't need a rez? Swap in something else you find useful.

PvP/PvE Build: Unstoppable Pressure Assassin
18-04-2006, 01:50 #2
Actually, the best way to run the attack cycle is this:
- Whip out your lead-off-dual combo first. 20 energy spent, 133 bonus damage, plus damage from three weapon hits.
- Wait 5 seconds for Dancing Daggers to recharge. By this point you have 15 energy back if you're running a 12 DM / 13 CS build.
- Pop Dancing Daggers again, followed by Entangling Asp for another 45 damage plus 4 ticks of health degen that will total 136 HP if it's not removed.
- Wait 2-3 seconds to regen 5 energy, then pop Fox Fangs again.
- Wait another 5 seconds to regen 10 energy, then pop Nine Tail Strike again.
You're doing a 133-bonus spike in the first few seconds. Within 7-8 seconds, you've done another 181 bonus damage. Before 14-15 seconds are over, you've laid on another 88 bonus damage. This is in addition to your base auto-attack DPS of roughly 21 DPS with a customized 15/50 set of daggers.
Alternatively, if you want to run with +energy armor and are starting with 30 energy, you can just whip out all 4 damage spells/attacks in your alpha strike, for a bonus spike of about 270 in just a few seconds.

My only suggestion if this is trully a solo build swap watchfull spirit in for ressurect. Will keep this in favourites untill factions comes out

I see this being more useful in PvP, but it's great.
Low cost and recharge.
Always hits.
Deals a highly considerable amount of damage.
Is very offensive, as well as unstoppable/defensive.
Despite the low cost, this build asks for 20 energy every say... 10 seconds, with additional skills being used, so you're going to have to go about 10% less freqent with the combo than you say.

For PvE use, where your energy requirements are usually the highest, you could probably replace the hex/condition breaker with Critical Eye and run quite smoothly.
18-04-2006, 14:35 #7
Combo looks very solid.
I gotta ask though. . .
Have you calculated what kind of damage over time or damage per point of energy you will be doing?
Zealous mods will work wonders for this. :)
Ok unless you plan to regularly use blessed light on other allies you should get rid of that completely for contemplation of purity.
Then load up an enchantment elite like dark apostacy or locust's fury. That with shadow refuge you'll have 2 enchants to use as fodder for removing conditions and hexes on your character.
Don't worry that people might kite you. . .you have a ranged lead attack and a ranged knockdown that causes poison! I say let them kite you, and make them sorry for it!
18-04-2006, 14:56 #8Originally Posted by MaximumSquid
Base auto-attack DPS for a customized 15/50 dagger will be 20.1 DPS. Add that to your spike bonus damage for the three-part or four-part alpha strike and you can easily guestimate how much damage you will put out in x number of seconds. If you run with +energy armor so that you can alpha with all four damage skills, that's the fastest overall damage in the shortest amount of time.
One thing to consider is that Entangling Asp recharges only every 20 seconds, so at best you can pop the full four-attack chain only every other time. During the recharge period, though, you can fit in the lead-off-dual combo again.
The Blessed Light is for myself. There are two Ritualist hexes that are the "bane" of Assassins, not to mention many useful hexes out there for all classes. Since I opted out of trying to make teleport skills really work, I'm also especially vulnerable to being crippled myself, and of course every meleer must worry about being blinded, which is also quite common. So for PvP I'm loathe to get rid of this fast, moderately-priced all-in-one hex/condition remover.
I do think that Blessed Light is not useful for most PvE zones/quests/missions, however, and would probably choose to swap it out for Critical Eye or some other skill that's useful for the zone I'm in. I would also swap out the basic Resurrect for Rebirth.
Still, I'll check out those other skills you mentioned when I get a chance.

I think this is an extremely poor PvP build, the healing is subpar, hex and condition removal is nice but not on a damage dealer and definately not worth the elite slot, the damage albeit unavoidable by evasion/blocking is subpar, and any type of energy denial will totally wreck this build.
I don't mean to sound like an ***, but try again :(

Nineteen percent of Americans in treatment for various kinds of mental health problems drop out of treatment prematurely. Seventeen percent of Canadians in treatment do so as well.
These similar findings have emerged from a study conducted by Mark Edlund, M.D., Ph.D., of the Neuropsychiatric Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles, along with American and Canadian colleagues. The study is reported in the May American Journal of Psychiatry.
The 1,200 subjects that Edlund and his coworkers included in their study were either from the United States or Ontario, Canada, and had responded to community epidemiological surveys conducted in the early 1990s. The surveys were the U.S. National Comorbidity Survey and the Mental Health Supplement to the Ontario Health Survey.
These 1,200 persons indicated on the surveys that they had been under treatment for major depression, mania, dysthymia, social phobia, simple phobia, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, manic disorder, alcohol abuse or dependence, or drug abuse or dependence but had dropped out of treatment before they had experienced symptom improvement.
Edlund and his team then compared the number of American treatment dropouts with the number of Canadian treatment dropouts and found that they were similar: 19 percent in the United States and 17 percent in Canada. The researchers also used survey responses from the 1,200 subjects to get some idea of why they had terminated treatment before they had been fully helped.
One major factor, the researchers discovered, applied to both groups of subjects: being young (15 to 24 years old); another factor applied to the U.S. subjects: not having mental health insurance. (The Canadian subjects had access to unlimited free mental health treatment visits.)
Other factors included viewing mental health treatment as relatively ineffective, being embarrassed about seeing a mental health professional, and being offered either medications or psychotherapy instead of both. Income, education, gender, and race did not seem to explain why subjects dropped out of treatment, nor did type of mental problem.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the W.T. Grant Foundation, and the Ontario Mental Health Foundation.
The study, "Dropping Out of Mental Health Treatment: Patterns and Predictors Among Epidemiological Survey Respondents in the United States and Ontario," is posted on the Web at http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/159/5/845?. ▪

An underlying epic (or mock epic) narrative may run through Isis (You can find artwork and text for each song on Zark's website), but this 22 track offering from electronic artist Blake L. Markle is really about one thing: beats. With splashes of jungle, drum-and-bass and breakbeat, Markle relies on rhythms to create a steady sonic core; shoegazey melodic loops and dubwise bass splotches may try to offset the throb and the thrill, but they often remain firmly subjugated to drum machines, as in "Step Scarlet". Markle's intense focus on one element doesn't constrict his aesthetic, though: an uneasy undercurrent upsets his chattering beats. Drums hiccup, fade out, take a breather for half a measure, and all in all subtly stray from the beaten path without losing their sense of inertia.
Isis is at its most sublime when it's elaborating on its ambient edges, however. "Weri Farrah" devotes as much energy to its synths as its drum loops, forming a soothing patchwork of mellow tones, while "The Unia"'s fluctuating keyboard patterns might be the most vital sounds on the record.

the most anointed song | Reviewer: malcolm clarke | 11/12/11
The opening lines for this song are, "turn your ears to heaven and hear the noise inside." Just that is enough for the Holy Spirit to move. David Crowder was blessed when God wrote this song through him. It Truly has to be anointed. :D
grammar? stupid? | Reviewer: matt bro | 10/5/11
This song is amazingly annointed, its from God, David Crowder is originally not American so he doesn't know every single grammar rule ever. Hes writing these songs to worship God, and singing Lalalallllalalala can be a song of your testimony. If u say this is stupid then you really need to study the Bible. Read about how much David danced. Read about how some people acted and said when they felt God. And if you don't like the song then don't look up the lyrics, and don't listen to the song. I just pray yall see the truth in it all, but nonetheless thank you David Crowder!! You're a blessing!!
PRAISE HIM!!!!:) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/10/11
I love this song. I am listening to it while in the library and just feel like standing up and shouting the words out. I am glad God uses simple words and his children to produce something so beuatiful and spirit-filled to the Glory and honor of his name. Love him (GOD) even unto death. :)
for the record... | Reviewer: big mike | 2/9/11
i would like to say that THE LORD ASK us to make a joyful noise to HIM, not to be the best at grammatical excellence. this song is righteous and is blameless as for as THE SCRIPTURES go. to quote our LORD JESUS, "he who exalts me on earth, I Will exalt in Heaven, but he who denies Me on earth will be denied in Heaven". before bashing this song or the artist be sure to take a good look in the mirror 1st. -mp
Unfathomable | Reviewer: SonzTwin | 12/25/10
The way this praise song touches me every time we sing it at Northland is deep and indescribable. One young reviewer said he "almost" cried - I get choked up sometimes even THINKING about it. But what I can't understand is why someone would have such VICIOUS things to say about a song that other believers obviously love. If it's not your cup of tea, and you don't have anything nice to say, go review a song you love then!
captivating | Reviewer: Chet | 5/14/10
for me this song is like an anthem of praise, the intro of the song is like the sound of a sweet flowing fountain, so captivating, enchanting, melodious- "may the Almighty continue blessing the band for His glory!"
Love god | Reviewer: James | 3/25/10
This is what we followers of god call a worship song. Keyword is worship. These are songs for god by god. There are no rules to writing worship songs aslong as you Worship god. For some one to complain or judge a song for god should not call themselves Christian. Grammar, English, spelling, rythme, is all coming from the holy spirit. God bless
This is awful | Reviewer: Alan | 11/9/09
This is a great example of how if something's religious in content, it doesn't matter how bad it is - religious people will feel so compelled to like it that they genuinely will. Oh la la la la la la. Oh la la la la la la. Oh la la la la la oh shut up.
Dave Crowder's lyrics are awful | Reviewer: Campaign for proper lyrics | 10/8/09
Anyone who thinks Dave Crowder's lyrics are good really needs to learn grammar and read the Bible.
The only time his lyrics aren't grammatically incorrect, they're mediocre at best.
He also doesn't know how to sing in English.
Awful, awful, awful. Thank the Lord for Chris Tomlim, Tim Hughes and Matt Redman!!!
Personal thought | Reviewer: ForeverThinker | 9/24/09
I always thought i'd find happiness through love, through a partner of life. With time, i'm realising loving someone is great, but not enough. Love between two people can be a salvation sometimes, but can also be the reason of your breakdown. That's why the love of God should always be supporting the love between two imperfect human beings.

A Subway Drop
- Friday, September 26, 2014
The Manhattan Commuter train was packed. Suddenly there was a jingle on the floor. Most necks were craned. One elderly gentleman, however, bent down and picked something up. He then asked, "Did anyone drop a half dollar?"
"I did," answered three men at once.
"Well," said the elderly gent with a smile, "here's a dime of it."

Dear Colleague:
I urge you to vote yes on three amendments made in order last night to H.R. 4310, the FY13 Defense Authorization Bill.These amendments will safely and responsibly bring our troops home from Afghanistan, keep Pentagon spending within the limits of the Budget Control Act, and ensure a meaningful diplomatic option with Iran is on the table.

Some buggys of Brazil taken while walking around Avare. These photos remind me that collections are fun and I should focus on similarities while traveling instead of always looking for new and different shots.
Supermercado in Brazil. December 2012.
Misty morning fog on the mountains of northern California. I took this shot after working all night in the studio. After turning the corner to the point and seeing this scene, my jaw dropped and I sat down and watched the fog roll in for over a half hour. It was such a quiet early morning moment and I reveled in every second of it.
My Rudolph and Mrs. Claus. Christmas in Thailand in 2011.
The 1,000th photograph on my memory card from my northern California trip. Sunset at the point on November 17th. It was a bittersweet moment because I had stayed up all night working and had seen the sunrise ten hours before this moment. Here I am more than a month later, staying up all night again not out of necessity, but habit. I've been doing this for weeks. I'm hoping to change this soon and become a creature of the day instead of a constant night owl. I'll start tomorrow or in three hours rather. When I wake I'll see my nephew for the first time in over a month, actually it has been only a little less than a month, oh man, I had no idea how addicted to his smile I had become.
Throw back Thursday is happening. Right here, right meow. Taken on the top of Zugspitze, the highest peak in Germany, back in 2010. We stayed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a little mountain resort town in Bavaria, near the border of Austria. We rode a little cable car 9,714 feet to the top. Talk about an ear ache. On the peak sat a restaurant, museum and gift shop. There was also roof access so you could have an uninhibited 360 degree view. It was mesmerizing, awe-inspiring and really windy. Looking south you could see Austria and to the north, Germany and in between Zugspitze, a physical border, the tallest peak.
Buggy in Brazil
Peace in Sao Paulo
"he was completely permeated by the feeling of present time and simultaneity, the feeling of eternity. At that moment, he felt deeply, more deeply than ever before, the indestructibility of all life, the eternity of every moment."
-one of my favorite excerpts from Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
oddly enough, many times I don't understand what I'm feeling until days, weeks or months later and sometimes it takes a good book or writing of my own to put those emotions into words. page after page in Siddhartha spoke to me as if the sentences were already floating around my brain, but they hadn't organized themselves yet. If you haven't read it yet you should take the time to do so. If you follow this blog you'll see words from Hermann Hesse again and again and again especially from Siddhartha. Now go find that moment.
It only took me a year to sort through my Brazil material and make an album… http://www.sarahschu.com/brasil#0 Shouldn't have waited so long, now I want to go back.
Lately I'm feeling the need to nest. I want a space that's my own and semi-permanent. Something I can decorate and build upon and make comfortable and welcoming and inspiring. It might have something to do with an amazing poster I picked up yesterday. All I want to do is make an enormous frame out of old barn wood and hang that baby on a wall. The problem is, I don't really have a wall. Most of the time I enjoy flowing through life, shape shifting like Jello into whatever mold I land in, but something is tugging at me to sit still for a minute month or ten. My thoughts are in constant battle. Stay or go, move or grow… Every day I make a new plan for 2013, but like everything I don't get too attached to it so by dinner my year is playing out completely different than it was at breakfast. All my little thoughts, goals and aspirations keep sprouting up like little wildflowers, new and different, multiplying and gathering into bunches. I wonder which will be picked and admired, which ones will be watered, which ones will wait and grow again next year..
The photo above was taken in Yallahs, Jamaica in 2010. This farmer was overjoyed to share his spot in the shade with me while he took a midmorning break. He spent so much time in the fields that he built a permanent little oasis, complete with a hammock, in the shade near his crops.
Taoist elements are the praise of quietism, seclusion, and an austerely simple life-style; and the belief that softness is stronger than hardness.
a quote that stood out to me, from 'Siddhartha' by Hermann Hesse
Punch buggys are known as fuscas here and they are e v e r y w h e r e . It's so great to see something you love around every corner. I taught my Brazilian friend the punch buggy game [red punch buggy - no punch back] and he's been abusing it ever since.

Politics. Wisconsin. Bringing It All Back Home.
The department tolerates misconduct. Prosecutors give cops career-saving deals. The commission reduces punishments when officers break the rules. As a result, police who have crossed to the other side of the law keep the power that comes with the badge. Meanwhile, citizens have no way of knowing whether the officers responsible for protecting them have tarnished records.
-The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Both Sides of the Law: At least 93 Milwaukee police officers have been disciplined for violating law.

3) SITE ZIPCHK command:
The SITE command ZIPCHK can be used to check the validity of a ZIP file on a server.
Presumably this is so you can make sure the ZIP file you are about to download is valid
and free from error. The way this works is thus:
glFtpD user does:
ftp> quote SITE ZIPCHK XXXXX.ZIP
glFtpD then runs a shell script with XXXXX.ZIP as argv[1] or 2.
which calls /bin/unzip etc etc.
If a user is able to create a filename with ";" characters in the name, they can
execute arbitrary code on the remote server with the privelege level of the server.
Easy fix should be override the command in glftpd.conf (or equivalent) with
something like:
site_cmd ZIPCHK TEXT /ftp-data/misc/disabled
Wich causes a textfile to be displayed rather then a command executed.

1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Z/28

|United States
Listed under categories:
During its rotisserie reboot, this solid old Chevy was entirely disassembled and completely striped of its dull, original pigment. Once that single-stage was removed, an incredibly straight fuselage underwent a fair amount of block-sanding. As that massaged profile featured laser-straight surfaces, a rich Black base was sealed under glossy clear and vivid Red stripes. When that clear dried, labor-intensive wet-sanding produced a spectacular, mirror-like shine. And today, a close look at our high resolution pictures reveals a handsome payoff in the form of one of the coolest Chevrolets on the planet!
General Motors envisioned the F2 Camaro as a working man's Ferrari and, thanks to a better timeframe and bigger budget, effectively addressed many of the complaints enthusiasts had about the F1. Longer, wider, lower to the ground and more aggressive, the second generation was certainly more of a driver's car, and is widely regarded as some of the best looking and best performing Detroit steel ever produced. At the front of this coupe, a pliable urethane valence centers a 2-piece, "Z28" branded grille between ornate parking lamps, modern headlights and a thick, body-width spoiler. Behind that grille, a smooth hood anchors a faux cowl in front of pristine glass, prerequisite T-tops and muted stainless trim. At the sides of that hood, a clean fuselage leads bright door handles and body-matched sport mirrors with new marker lamps and aggressive air extractors. And at the back of the car, a multi-color valence hangs a second "Z28" emblem between an angled spoiler, clean Cragar louvers and correct wheel flares.
Given this panther's evil paint and decal package, it's probably pretty obvious the car was built to be seen. But, thanks to a 421 cubic inch Chevrolet V8, that might be easier said than done! At the top of the Corporate Blue mill, a big Rochester Quadrajet rides between a glossy, single-snorkel air cleaner and a bright, stainless fluid line. Below that carburetor, a proven aluminum intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture into aluminum Pro-Filer heads, which wear traditional steel valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, reliable MSD ignition sparks fresh Moroso Ultra 40 Wires while a Comp cam and Callies rotating assembly push spent gases through impressive Dynatech headers. Cooling for that fire is provided by a factory-correct radiator, which hangs in front of a correct Delco Air compressor. And overall, the car''s clean engine compartment is exceptionally well-done; framing a fresh brake booster, new decals and correct Harrison AC components in glossy, body-matched fenders.
Not surprisingly, the bottom of this road-ready Chevy continues the theme of pairing proven hardware with enhanced technology. Behind the awesome small block, a tough Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed makes good use of a QuickTime bellhousing and Performance Quotient flywheel. Behind that 6-speed, a tough, 12-bolt rear end spins a Detroit TruTrac differential around 4.10 Moser gears. Turns come courtesy of factory power steering. A full assortment of power disc brakes provides solid, confident stops. An impressive true-dual exhaust system funnels spent gases through mandatory converters, an x-shaped crossover, a transverse resonator and great sounding Dynomax mufflers. The car's over-restored floors complement a powdercoated chassis that's strengthened with Caltracs traction bars and beefy frame connectors. All that reliable hardware rolls on sweet N90 replicas, which spin 225/50ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sports in front of 285/40ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sports. And fully sorted details like stainless fluid lines, fresh shocks and a familiar stainless fuel tank ensure this classic bowtie is ready for years of carefree cruising.
Open this F2's long doors and you'll find a correct Carmine interior that's both stylish and simple. That interior is built around well-maintained bench and bucket seats, which mix firm padding with straight and solid frames. At the top of those seats, a pliable headliner stretches tightly around clean Fisher T-tops. At the bottom of those seats, great looking carpet is protected by "Z/28" branded floor mats. Between those seats, a wide console centers a chrome shifter in front of small power window switches. The car's vitals are monitored by a surprisingly straight dash, which hangs wood-trimmed instrumentation above a modern Pioneer head unit. The driver stays connected to the road via Global Cruise control and a tilting 'simulated rope' steering wheel. And behind the passengers, a solid trunk features a new mat, bright decals and a fresh space saver spare.
The sale of this awesome Camaro includes an assembly manual, restoration receipts, component manuals and a small book of restoration photos.
This show worthy Z28 is one of the best combinations of performance and style your money can buy. As a clean, road-ready classic, it's the perfect car for any discerning Chevy enthusiast. And with its long-term value certain to appreciate, it can serve as a unique centerpiece for any muscle car collection!

Forums Java
acessing a buffer at audio rate ?
Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
I think it might be possible if you make an mxj~ object and do the
MSPBuffer calls from within
your perform routine. Not sure what the issues might be though. Ben??
Look in the java-doc directory for mxj~ examples.
It's possible that the code is deferring to the main thread, but I
don't think so. Miguel, have you tried this out?
I was able to do what i wanted. I just used MSPObject.poke or MSPObject.peek in the perform method and I increased an index variable (which stores where I'm currently reading/writing in the buffer) each time mxj~ calls perform(). The MSPObject methods are static, which means that you don't need to create an object, just call the methods directly through MSPObject.something(…,…,..) and one of the arguments is the buffer name.

Nicole Sheffield CEO of expanded NewsLifeMedia as news.com.au moves across
News Limited's digital arm news.com.au is to become a part of the company's lifestyle operation NewsLifeMedia under new chief executive Nicole Sheffield.
NewsLifeMedia was created in November last year as a rebranding from News Magazines.
Sheffield is moving across from her previous role as GM of the Lifestyle Channels at XYZ Networks in a move that had been tipped for some weeks. She rejoins former subscription TV colleague Kim Williams who became CEO of News Limited late last year. She replaces Sandra Hook who left in Janaury.
Williams, previously CEO of Foxtel, said "It makes sense to align news.com.au more closely with our online lifestyle brands, presenting a more integrated network of news and lifestyle to our millions of readers and helping drive traffic through these sites." Read more »

Magazine boss: We've been unfairly caught up in the story of newspapers' decline
Pacific Magazines director Peter Zavecz said today that is unfair to lump magazines in the same category as newspapers, which are facing much bigger problems.
Speaking at the Mumbrella360 conference held in Sydney today, Zavecz said magazines have become caught up in the story of the decline of print.
"I think we've been unfairly lumped into a print bucket that's in decline," he said.
"With the press, we all know the challenges they face. It's news. If you've got channels that can deliver news faster and more conveniently for people, they're going to turn to it.
"Magazines are different. It's curated content. Even some of our news is curated news. Magazines are a separate entity [to newspapers]. Magazines are a more engaging sort of format than newspapers."
Zavecz was on a panel with Bauer Media CEO and Magazines Publishers chairman Matthew Stanton, NewsLifeMedia CEO Nichole Sheffield, Pacific Magazines director Peter Zavecz and Publishers Australia and publisher Westwick-Farrow media Geoff Hird.
14 more media industry bosses revealed for Mumbrella360 conference lineup

Mary Ann Azer to head Magazine Publishers of Australia
Former Procter and Gamble marketing communications boss Mary Ann Azer is to head industry association Magazine Publishers of Australia (MPA) as its new executive director, replacing Robin Parkes who moved to Telstra's marketing team earlier this year.
Azer will report to MPA Chairman and CEO of Bauer Media Matthew Stanton and will face the challenge of promoting the magazine industry at time of continuing double digit revenue declines and falling print circulations.
"Mary Ann's appointment signifies the continuing commitment of the MPA to the ongoing revitalisation and promotion of the magazine publishing industry," said Stanton, in a statement. Read more »
Game of Thrones News Corp style
Keen readers of Dr Mumbo will know he is a big fan of paranoid speculation, and loves to share when the latest rumours doing the rounds land on his desk.
Much has been written about the length of News Corp CEO Julian Clarke's tenture in the role, beyond being a safe pair of hands in the post Kim Williams era, and also the broader aspirations of Ten boss Hamish McLennan.
But what if Hamish's wider ambitions were for Fox Studios in America, where he would report directly to 21st Century Fox CEO Chase Carey? Not a bad gig most would agree, and one with a pretty rosy future, running one of the most profitable arms of the Murdoch empire.
According to the scuttlebutt, Ten's current underperformance would not be a hurdle to this career move in a year or two.
And with News Corp potentially becoming more involved in Ten under changes to the media laws we could this see a broader shuffling of the cards around the Australian News Corp empire? Read more »

Clarke unveils News Corp restructure
New News Corp boss Julian Clarke has announced changes which see the company unwind some of the centralisation instigated by his predecessor Kim Williams.
Under Williams, the company pushed to a philosophy of single management structures for each state. Since his sudden departure, this has led to criticisms that the new structure saw advertising revenue seep away. Under Williams, the company's advertising sales strategy and marketing functions became much more centralised around its Sydney headquarters.
Today's announcement – in an all staff email from Clarke – sees a change of emphasis back towards state teams selling advertising and more local marketing decisions. Most of the announcements focus on NSW and Victoria.
The move follows yesterday's hints from Clarke that the company would be differentiating its products more, an instruction that was also given to editors shortly after Col Allan arrived from New York to provide an editorial lead. Read more »
APN CEO Miller: Industry needs more women in senior roles
The CEO of Australia's third largest publisher APN News & Media Michael Miller has told a forum that there are not enough women in senior leadership position in the sector and urged them "to do more" about the issue.
Speaking on an all male panel at the newspaper industry's Future Forum yesterday which consisted of himself, Fairfax Media CEO Greg Hywood, News Corp Australia boss Julian Clarke and West Australian Newspapers chief Chris Wharton, Miller said that while media outperformed some other sectors more emphasis was need on the topic.
"It's a challenge, I think it's sad that we don't have more females in leadership positions," said Miller, "however, putting it into context the University of the Sunshine Coast did a survey, last year looking at the number of women working in media, not just newspapers, and found that 55 per cent are female, that's up from a third ten years ago."
He also pointed to television as another male industry, with Lou Barrett having recently broken the logjam with her appointment to lead ten's media sales. "I look at not just newspapers but other media, like TV, the news directors are men, there's one (female) sales director, but most of the station managers and CEOs are male. If you look at the ASX top 500 companies in Australia and media actually out perform the other companies in females in senior roles," he said.
"But we need to do more." Read more »
ABCs: Cleo and Cosmo struggle but will not merge
More than half of the 100 non-weekly magazine titles audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulations experienced a drop in sales according to figures released today.
Women's magazines in particular struggled during the first half of 2013 compared to the same period last year, with all but three of the audited titles experiencing a dip in circulation.
Bauer Media's Cosmopolitan and Cleo both saw a fall in circulation despite Cleo's new editor Shari Markson overseeing a redesign of the title. Read more »

Some Highland County residents are opposing a wind energy plan and say they don't want the turbines in their county. While some are against the plan, some feel this could make a major difference in the community.
In hopes of keeping the wind turbines from being built in their area, some residents opposed to the plan have signed petitions against it. Others are saying it would be a big improvement.
The Virginia Supreme Court has given the project the green light, but the plan has not yet been finalized. The plan still needs approval by the State Corporation Commission. However, one Highland County supervisor is already looking forward to it.
Jerry Rexrode says, "This particular site is one of the best in the state. I know there's been controversy, by county residents opposed to it, and residents for it. I'm glad to see the supreme court finally make a ruling; was very pleased with the ruling."
And County Administrator Roberta Lambert says, "I think the turbines coming here in other areas that we looked at, it has helped to increase tourism. It has brought more people to the area. We did not find that it effected property values, and it will bring revenues to the county, particularly through the real estate taxes."
Both say most of the people opposing the plan are against the project because they are misinformed. They also say they've done a lot of research and there's a big misconception that everyone in Highland County is opposed to the plan they themselves hope will add more than just green energy to their community.

Talk about a couple of American Icons…… Elvis and Coca-Cola……. and I love that the Coke logo hasn't changed a bit……..
Description found at The Faux Bohemian:
Segregated Lunch Counter. While waiting for a train to take him from Chattanooga to Memphis, a trip of some 400 miles, Elvis sits at the lunch counter to have some breakfast. The woman standing had ordered a sandwich for which she was waiting, but was not able to sit at the counter. Railroad station, Chattanooga, Tenn. July 4, 1956.© Alfred Wertheimer.
From a National Portrait Gallery and the Govinda Gallery exhibit, "Elvis at 21", on view at the Portrait Gallery through Jan. 23, 2011.
My take:
Not trying to be a downer here, but let's remember that Elvis, while a great singer, also gained fame by shamelessly ripping off music from African Americans (look up the first version of "Hound Dog") and making it more palatable to white Americans. Also, this photo represents another American icon: Segregated lunch counters, and segregation in general. The first thing I noticed was the utter sadness in the expression on the woman's face as she stands waiting for her food, back from everyone else.
(via suddenlynixon)
Background: A flag hanging in a government building. Foreground: White, fat, grey-haired, cisgender Mississippi governor Haley Barbour tossing his chubby head and giving a smug little laugh. Top text: "I just don't remember" Bottom text: "segregation being that bad"
I just love the description there^^

It's been a crazy twenty-four hours for Kentucky football fans. An emotional roller coaster. Most of us went to bed last night expecting January 4th to be a glorious day for Big Blue Nation on multiple fronts .The Army All-American game had finally arrived, we would get to see Drew Barker live against the best players in the country and finally get that commitment from Matt Elam. A host of other prospects were going to have Kentucky on their minds. Charlie Strong would be moving to Austin, Texas and James Franklin would be taking the Penn State job.
Then we all went to bed and woke up to a different world. Elam was no longer announcing. The other players firmed up their previous commitments. Strong called a meeting to tell his staff that there was nothing to tell them at this time. Al Golden took Franklin's job. People rejoiced and lamented. Here is my take on all that happened today:
- Elam- This was the most anticipated recruiting event for UK fans since Barker picked the Cats in the Spring. All week the signs pointed toward Elam choosing Kentucky, it had seemed apparent for quite some time that his heart was in the Bluegrass State. Then he announced that would choose on Signing Day just hours before the game he was supposed to commit at. Elam told KSR that he was still undecided, and there is no reason to doubt him on that. It's no secret he loves Kentucky and the players in their class. But it is Alabama we are up against here. He'll likely take an official visit to Tuscaloosa now. This isn't a good sign for Kentucky's chances but this fight isn't over. It wouldn't have been over if Elam committed today. This thing was always going to Signing Day.
- Travonte Valentine- Valentine swapped his official visit from Alabama to Kentucky for 1/24. As long as that holds up, Kentucky has a chance here, with or without Matt Elam. (Landing Elam would have helped a lot though). Valentine decommitted from Miami today due to speculation about Al Golden leaving. It'll be a fight but UK has a shot if they keep that OV.
- Glenville Trio- A week ago all of these kids were expected to attend Ohio State, but during bowl practices rumors started to leak out that there may be some interest in the Cats. Erick Smith and Marshon Lattimore delayed their expected announcements. Then put them back on. Marcelys Jones was found to have sign financial aid paperwork with UK. In the middle of all of this, Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr. flew to Texas and suddenly the Kentucky rumors went away and all three appear to be Buckeyes again. No wonder it's called a pipeline. Jones was quoted after the game saying he would not enroll early in Columbus this week but later tweeted he was 100% Buckeye. So anything could happen there.
- Franklin- It's really a matter of when, not if, Franklin leaves Vanderbilt for a better job. He says all of the right things when asked, but nobody wants to coach at Vandy forever. It looks like Penn State will go to Golden, but that only opens up Miami for Franklin. He also has several NFL opportunities to look at, the Redskins and Browns are said to be interested and Nashville's own Titans just fired their coach today. Personally I think Franklin would make a fine NFL coach, maybe even better than a college coach.
- Strong- Charlie has possibly accepted the Texas job, or not or he is pretty interested or he wants everyone to leave him alone. All of the signs out there point to the idea that Strong will be the next head coach in Austin. He called a staff meeting this morning, you don't bring everyone in during Christmas break to tell them you don't have anything to tell them. The national media is pretty unanimous with the news. But the truth is that he hasn't taken it yet, at least not publicly, and Tom Jurich is flying across the country to try to save the day. For reasons that I can't fully disclose, I find it hard to believe that Strong will leave Louisville for another college program prior to 2015, so I'm still waiting to hear about him getting another raise and how he loves it in the Ville. If nothing else, this weekend has proven two things: 1) Charlie Strong is not a Louisville lifer, despite what you've been told and 2) Louisville fans will turn on him in a second. Frankly, I don't care if Strong stays or goes. He is losing the core of his team and graduating to a real schedule for the first in his career, it will be interesting to see how he copes. I know he has beaten Kentucky several times, but I'm really not that impressed with Strong as a coach and recruiting has fallen off after Clint Hurtt was suspended. It might not be bad if Charlie sticks around.

Is the Seagate GoFlex Desk a good HDD?
I just went out and purchased a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2 TB USB 2.0 hard drive for about $100 because I thought it was too good to pass up. Now I am having second thoughts, and wondering if I should return it, or if I got a good deal. I need to upgrade my Windows 7 OS to 64 bit from 32 bit because, I am told, the 32 bit version does not access all of the memory, but the 64 bit does. So, being the packrat that I am with documents and files, I just wanted to dump all of my documents and downloads and pictures and videos onto a large Hard Drive and then deal with them later.
Then, I would reformat my notebook computer's HDD and install fresh Win 7 64 bit and Office 2010 64 bit. But, I also need a backup system for this setup. I have been using Mozy automated backup, but I would like to somehow get rid of that fee of $5 monthly. I know it is not a lot, but if I keep paying it forever, it will be.
The way Mozy works is that it automatically backs up changed files in the background, and even can back up open files. Then you go to their Website and choose files if you ever need to restore one or all of your files. I would like a system to run this way on my laptop.
What I was thinking is that the laptop could backup to the desktop thru my wifi network, then the desktop would have the 2 TB hd connected, and that would automatically be backed up. So, the notebook, would have 2 back up sets, one on the desktop and one on the hard drive. But then what if I have pictures that are irreplaceable ont he hard drive and it fails, how can I avoid losing them?
Supposedly, the GoFlex is good because you can replace the connector and have it connected as NAS, or to a Mac, or whatever -- firewire, etc. But is this a good buy? Also, For What it's Worth, I have 2 older Western Digitals that are almost full of 40 GB each, but I am thinking that, with the right system, their data could be moved onto the 2 TB drive, and then the photos and irreplaceble files could then be backed up to the 2-40GB drives...somehow...
I own Macrium, and the Seagate came with Memeo Backup, so I can use either, or if there is something even better, I am open to suggestions. Thanks for reading all this, and for any help you can offer!
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 (Windows 10, 8.1, Linux Mint, Windows XP and others in VM)
I own 2 GoFlex drives. I just don't have the desktop I have the portable models. I love them for some of the reasons you mentioned. They allow you to pick the connection you want. 2 TB for $100 - why complain?
Like you, I don't trust external drives or internal ones either. My backup strategy is to use at least 2 good backup programs and back up to at least 2 externals. That way if one external goes out you still have your backups. I think you made a good buy. Externals are just internal drives in an enclosure. They can fail just like internals do. But for the price you paid,you couldn't buy 2 TB internal drives.
BTW, if you own a Seagate or Western Digital drive they both offer backup programs on their web sites. Both are scaled down versions of Acronis.

Thank you for the affirmation...
Thank you for affirming that I made a good purchase decision, and for my 'crazy' need to back up so much! I have discs and HDs and everything all of the same docs. I thing that getting it all on the 2 TBs and then sorting it out with a program that finds duplicate files is the way to go. Then, the most important ones can be backed up to my Western Digitals.
Do you, or anyone else out there, have any advice on what software is best for backup features and ease of use? I have Macrium (purchased it), the Seagate came with Memeo, but I don't know if these will do what I want:

The Pretty Lies, The Ugly Truth
Taylor, 20, Tampa, FL, United States
"Burning alive for the one that I love. From where I am, I see how beautiful it's been. Can you blame me for hating your guts? I still hear the sound of your voice whenever I shut my eyes, whenever I sleep at night. They claim there's no rest for the wicked, my hands are shaking while your eyes are empty and cold, my sleeping ghost."

text: There is this guy I'd been eyeing since last semester but not in a "I like you" kind of way, just in a "you're cute and fun to look at" way. He was at the usual hang out for my friends and I (library, nope we don't sit around and read, far from it actually) and well I was looking at him and dazed off then I came back to conscience and noticed he was staring straight at me. I quickly looked away, slightly panicked. My friends caught me and and one of my idiot friends decides it would be funny to go talk to him. He gets up walks towards him and starts talking to him, he makes signals at me like if he's going to bring him over and my heart starts racing at what I assumed a rate just below cardiac arrest. Thankfully he couldn't come over, he had class. But this doesn't end here, I know tomorrow my lovely friends won't let this go and will continue to bug me. Ugh. I don't want to meet the guy, he's just something I stare at, I don't want him to be more. Why can't they get me.

As I wrote in this column a month ago, Illiana Christian High School is a school which prepares its students for college. We have an excellent faculty, all of whom are eager to prepare students for the ACT test. This is reflected in our average ACT composite score of 23.7, one of the best in the south suburbs.
In the last month, we've experienced three unique events at Illiana. First, Andrew Clark, an Illiana senior, learned that he earned the top composite score of 36 on a recent ACT test. Nationally, the actual number of students earning a composite score of 36 varies from year to year, but on average, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn this top score. Among test takers in the high school graduating class of 2013, only 1,162 of more than 1.8 million students earned a composite score of 36. We are proud of Andrew for this rare and significant accomplishment.
The second unique happening is the semi-annual outdoor cookout at Illiana. Once in the fall and once in the spring, Illiana students, faculty, and staff go outside for lunch for a cookout. We might be the only school in the Chicago area that has such a cookout. So what did this look like? Over 600 people gathered on our athletics field, cooking over numerous grills brought from home. There were also footballs, Frisbees, and picnics on blankets. Students and faculty plan their menus in advance, bringing great side items and yummy desserts. It is a wonderful time of community as lunch period is extended to an hour to give plenty of time for lots of food, fun, and fellowship. It is an impressive tradition that Illiana plans to continue in the years to come.
A third Illiana tradition took place mid-September when five faculty chaperones and 30 students went on a fall camping trip to Shades State Park. This was organized by Landlopers, Illiana's outdoor activities club. In the dictionary, "landlopers" is a term of Dutch origin meaning "one who wanders around the country." This club is for everyone who enjoys the outdoors — bikers, hikers, runners, canoeists, cross-country skiers — from Saturday wood walkers to tri-athletes. On this trip, the group enjoyed a night hike on the trails and marveled at the magnificent star show which reflected the beauty of God's nature. This club builds a special trust among students, something that extends beyond the classroom. Students take away life lessons which encourage their personal growth.
I hope you enjoyed this special, inside peek of life at Illiana. Here are a few upcoming events:

Why is The Enquirer shilling for the Dems? Your front page article, "Who Is This Guy?" plus an editorial on him clearly is a promotion of what's his name from Cleveland to be our next governor. You've given more space than any party could likely afford to promote someone, even touting his distortions regarding Gov. […]

Vote out all incumbents

In this country we have a constitutional right and privilege to vote. This a privilege that most other countries in the world don't get to participate in. We have been forgotten and ignored by the majority of the legislators in this country. I say it is past time to GET the attention of this pompous […]

Just as I expected, we've elected a self-gratifying hypocrite as Governor. No staffers deserve huge pay increases in this economy. Public servants should serve the public under the conditions that exist. A $47,000 increase for just one individual would easily provide for another family. Shame, Kasich. Unfortunately, I expect a lot more of this from […]
Governor candidates uninspiring

I sent my North Pole letter early this year. It reads: Dear Santa, please send me a new gubernatorial candidate. These two stink like three-day-old fish. Mary M. Benz Pierce Township
