The actors are members of the Greek National Theater. The performance is coordinated with the Urban Rail Company, and is meant to cheer up the Greeks, says company representative Despina Politou.

Renegade X: Beta 3
Oct 10, 2014 Full Version 12 commentsThis is a full beta multiplayer candidate. Please uninstall all previous versions of Renegade X.
It's about time. Since Renegade X will be standalone as soon as the Black Dawn campaign hits the Internet, we've been meaning to get a new page on IndieDB. You can access the new page by clicking HERE!
Renegade X (formerly known as Renegade 2007) is a mod dedicated to recreating C&C Renegade in the new generation engine, the Unreal Engine 3. We all believe the Command and Conquer series is a very special one, and its fans have been following its games for over a decade now. C&C has been one of the most successful videogame series in the RTS Genre. Our modding team believes that C&C Renegade is truly a hidden gem in the FPS genre.
C&C Renegade's specialty was its multiplayer mode, because it was not mindless killing like most games. A player was thrown into a battle as soon as he joined a server, in which teamplay was the only way to win. The game revolves around a war between the Global Defense Initiative, and the Brotherhood of Nod. Each faction would have their own base of operations consisting of buildings. A team had to work together to destroy the enemy base, while keeping theirs intact. By simply switching engines, our team will have fixed many of C&C Renegade's faults. The original game had many problems such as bad netcoding, poor graphics, glitches, etc. Our main goal is to bring this great gameplay to the masses, all the graphical enhancements is merely just icing on the cake.
There are 2 ways to destroy an enemy building- you can either destroy them by infiltrating the structure and planting C4 explosives, or you can bombard it with vehicles and weapons from the outside. You also have 14 classes of Infantry per team to choose from, as well as 15 vehicles in total.
We also plan on adding plenty of new features that the original Renegade didn't ship with, such as:
We plan on remaking the original standard maps in the new-generation format. The team will be taking advantage of the engine by using much more polygons and bigger resolutions of textures. Although the maps will keep their original appearance and feel introduced in Renegade, they will graphically be much better than the initial versions. Of course, that being said, our project is not only limited to remaking the original maps. We will be making maps of our own design, which will all be littered with strategic and vantage points.
All ingame models will have a fresh new look with todays standards of 3d design, such as normal mapping, bump mapping, and will all be dynamically lit up during gameplay.

Hello everyone!
How are you all? We've been busy enjoying our latest release, Beta 3: the most stable and most complete version of Renegade X thus far. Renegade X is a multiplayer Tactical Shooter based on the Command & Conquer universe. It is a standalone indie game that can be downloaded for absolutely free here: Renegade-x.com
But in between playing, we've also been working on a few things. We have been preparing a new version of Renegade X that will feature a few new multiplayer levels, fixes, and some gameplay changes. We will be sharing more details about our upcoming release soon - but you can expect a new version in early 2015.
Indie of the Year awards!
Phase 2 of the Indie of the Year awards has begun! Please vote for Renegade X by clicking "Tactical Shooter" and pressing the "VOTE" button next to Renegade X: Indiedb.com
If you have voted in Phase 1, you can vote again in Phase 2!
Spread the word! It's time to win some awards.
Without further ado, the new Renegade X maps
The original C&C Renegade map is back in a beautiful remake by our very own Robin Nielsen:
A personal favourite, Complex is a rush go-go-go map with no automated defenses:
Kenz has been working on a remake of Canyon. Here's another trip down memory lane:
You can check out Kenz's YouTube channel to check out his progress on Canyon: Youtube.com
That's all for now folks!
Be sure to vote for us, and join us ingame. In fact, I'm going to get some gaming in right now.
This is a full beta multiplayer candidate. Please uninstall all previous versions of Renegade X.
This is a full beta multiplayer candidate. Please uninstall Open Beta 1, and download and install this version.

Renegade X - Version 0.55 for Unreal Tournament 3
Check out Sebastian Aav's latest "Command & Conquer" remake, which is Renegade X's main theme music.
This is the fourth Renegade X release, available as of January 10th 2010. This requires a legal copy of Unreal Tournament 3 to play. Please note that...
For some reason, it completely fails to capture Renegades theme and gameplay.
However, if you think of it as not Renegade, or a Command & Conquer game, it becomes pretty damn awesome.
It's just not the sequel to Renegade everyone was hoping.
It completely fails to capture Renegades theme? WTF
It completely fails to capture Renegades gameplay? WTF
Dude you are full of WTF
Was there no c&c vehicles, guns, characters, missions, voices, eva...
Maximum of two weapons was a bit of a downer.
So were the loading times for every objective and the jump-to-cut-scene-at-every-opportunity was also a bit much.
The battlefield styled "You're going off mission, get the **** back" was ******** though but I suppose when there's so many scripts running causing an increase in rendering times then the last thing you want is everything to get broken because someone ran ahead xD
I enjoyed the demo for what it gave me nonetheless (Its just a shame about the rendering times) and look forward to the Multiplayer release.
What? It's just my honest opinion. I like it, it's not bad, but it's not Renegade.
i have windows 7 and nvidia geforce i hope this works
It's out!!!
Download links here: Renegade-x.com
not released yet, they try to upload it in the next hours. But I would definetly only check IndieDB for it. Now there are more active on that site. Here you go: Indiedb.com
What time is it gonna be released tomorrow?
Oh, s***! I though it was going to be in the 27th! Damn it! I'm gonna wait until tomorrow, I guess.
However, I still strongly recommend renaming the "Chaingun" to 'Gatling Gun' or 'Minigun', since those are the actual terms for that type of weapon, while a chaingun is different.
yeah!!!! the game is comming, UT3 is now install and patch ready to play just need to wait mmmmmmmmm.............(-_-).....(^3^)(^o^)..I'm ready to play Command !!!!! and !!!!! Conquer !!!!!!! Renegade!!!! X !!!!!!!!! and i thank you so much to the people who make this great master piece and great work they maid, now i need to cry now (ToT) for the mod they maid, THANK YOU Totem Art.
Lowest Rated (3 agree) 1/10
Played through half of the campaign and suffered through two system lockups which required restarting my system via the power button. Graphics were pretty decent. Comparable to games from 2008-2009, but the overall (lack of) brightness makes it difficult to discern any details in their work. AI was pretty terrible. Was difficult to see who and what was attacking you and where it was coming from. On a technical aspect, the foliage looked good. The voice acting was pretty sub-par - didn't sound anywhere…

"marvelous place"
Casa Suiza is a marvelous place to stay in Spain. We came for the first time in Costa Blanca in August 2012. It's the first time that reality is better than pictures and movies about this villa. Everything is well made, simple, confortable, secured. We spend 2 weeks with our children. Air co in all the villa is marvelous when the sun is shining too much, old Altea is a marvelous place for the evening, and more than ever, Sandra and Pamela are fantastics during all our stay. I still have reserved for 3 weeks in August 2013.

"Two wonderful months in Altea, Costa Blanca"
Casa Suiza in the Altea Hills is a beautiful, airy and light filled villa. Both the interior and exterior have clearly received lots of care, thought and attention from it's owners who have filled their holiday home with lots of little extra's. The pool area and outdoor terraces make for a comfortable and relaxing stay with many sofa's, chairs, tables and even a bar. Inside a wealth of books, paintings and little treasures makes guests feel really at home. The kitchen is equiped with everything one could need & some with everything being of good quality and well chosen. The log burning stove makes a winter stay very comfortable, although downstairs where the bedrooms and 2 of the bathrooms are located does get a bit cool and damp. There is central heating which overcomes this and is not expensive to run. There are quite a lot of stairs both inside and out, when our 2 year old grandson visited we had to watch him carefully.
Altea is a truly lovely little town, one of the few towns on the Costa Blanca which is not overshadowed by high rise apartment buildings. The promenade along the sea front is very long, it is possible to walk along it all the way to Albir and the lighthouse, there are many bars, cafe's and restaurants along the way. The old town is very picturesque with more cafe's and shops. Even in winter the traffic all along the coast line is heavy, with parking quite difficult at times, some of the streets are winding and narrow.
We cannot wait to return and have already booked our next visit to Casa Suiza via the wonderful Sandra & Pam at HolidayAltea.

These tips for getting pregnant in your 40s are from a 50 year old who is happily pregnant. If you want to have a baby, you're over 40, and you're considering in vitro fertilization (IVF), read Mary Beth's story.
Also – make sure you're improving your chances for pregnancy. Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility by Sami S. David (Author), Jill Blakeway isn't guaranteed to get you pregnant, but it will maximize your chances of conceiving a baby.
Mary Beth – our pregnant 50 year old – said, "I woke up one day at age 45 and wondered 'Where did these last 20 years go?? They just flew by! I'm ready to have a baby now." If you're in the same boat – reaching your 40s or 50s and wondering if you'll ever get pregnant – read Mary Beth's story below. She had in vitro fertilization at age 51 and is seven months pregnant!
Getting Pregnant in Your 40s
This is a Q & A with Mary Beth, a pregnant 52 year old woman.
Had you already grieved the idea of never having kids? No, not really. I made conscious choices along the way to put my career first, knowing that child bearing would wait a while. Somehow I always felt that I would still have kids (either marrying a guy who already had a family…or would still somehow have my own).
What made you decide to try in vitro fertilization (IVF) at age 51? After changing my life around so that I wasn't so focused on my career, I met a wonderful man when I was 46 and at age 47 it was very serious. That's when we started speaking with fertility doctors to see what our baby choices were. They told me choices were 1) still use my eggs (small chance of getting and carrying a pregnancy) or 2) consider donor eggs. So, we tried in vitro fertilization.
Did you consider adopting or fostering children? Yes. My husband and I discussed this in great depth. We decided to try the IVF route for 3 cycles. If that didn't work, we were then going to enthusiastically pursue adoption.
Help Getting Pregnant
Optimize Your Chances of Conceiving a Baby - FertilAid SpermCheck Fertility Test for Men Sperm Motility BoostWhen people discover that you're 52 and pregnant, what reaction do you get? Most say "Wow, that's incredible. That's awesome and you are brave!!" A very few say "You are out of your mind."
How long have you been married, and how old is your hubby? We've been married 2½ years. I just turned 52 and my husband will soon be 52.
What advice would you give women coping with infertility? Stay positive, give it time, keep an open mind and consider all options for infertile couples. Again – stay positive and optimistic! Consider what's best for you and don't listen to what your family and good friends are saying. Initially, my own mother was really against IVF and wouldn't even discuss it with me. I figured in due time she would come around when she was ready.

My husband and I knew what was best for the two of us…and we didn't seriously listen to anyone else's comments. Most everyone was excited for us to be trying to get pregnant over age 40, but a few weren't.
What would surprise people to learn about infertility, or getting pregnant in your 40s or 50s? That it still can happen!!! Keep yourself in the best possible health…and stay positive!! So far (7 months along) I have felt GREAT. I never had morning sickness and still haven't had a day yet of feeling pregnant. That's more than my younger sisters could say about their pregnancies 20 years ago when they were in their 20s!

29 Responses to "Getting Pregnant in Your 40s – Tips From a Pregnant 50 Year Old"
If you're concerned about getting pregnant in your 40s, read an article called "Biological clock not a time bomb after 40″ in the Daily Telegraph. Here's an excerpt:
Fertility expert Zita West says that she constantly sees clients "panicking unnecessarily". "Modern life puts up so many hurdles for women in their twenties that it's not easy for them to have babies at the 'ideal' time, and then there's so much anxiety and impatience from clients in their thirties.
"Couples put huge pressure on one another during ovulation and it's increasingly common in my consultations to see men who have performance anxiety around sex and ovulation. They say: 'Oh, my God, it's never going to happen' when they've only been trying for three months, or they live in different countries and only have sex once a month. Often they rush into having IVF when they don't need it."
In fact, the true statistics about female fertility are far less terrifying than is widely believed. Women do lose 90% of their eggs by 30, but that still leaves them with 10,000, when only one is needed to make a baby.
Then there's the statistic that one in three women aged between 35 and 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying, taken from a 2004 article in the journal Human Reproduction. These figures do not come from large, scientifically conducted studies of contemporary women, but from French birth records from 1670 to 1830, covering women with no access to modern health care or nutrition.
Here's the link to the full article: http://www.timeslive.co.za/lifestyle/family/2014/05/20/biological-clock-not-a-time-bomb-after-40
Hello Mary Beth, that is such great news about your pregnancy. Did you get pregnant with your own eggs? How many eggs were used to do your ivf?
dear laura
I am 47 yrs old.Trying to get pregnant for along time and haven't .I want a baby badly by 48 .Cna you give me some tips what to do do get pregnant. My husbabd is only 34 and he already has 2 kids .I want my own and am trying but i feel lost what to do .Sometimes ovavtions i am not sure about and my husbns comes home in august and i want to try to get pregnant then or after.I feel my age is a hugh factor why i can't get pregnant. -
Wow, this thread is still active, 3 years later!
My first comment was about the sixth one or so…I'm so pleased to tell you that at 41 I delivered a bouncing, beautiful, healthy baby boy in November 2010! After about 9 months of increasing fertility drugs every month, we tried an IUI once, and I got pregnant! My pregnancy went well–I enjoyed every minute. My little boy is 20 months old now. Not a day goes by that I don't think about and say a little prayer for all the mommies waiting for their babies to find their way to them. Like one of the other posters said, your babies when come to you when all is ready, one way or another. I thank God for my miracle, and I will never forget how heartbreaking the struggle was to get here. I wish all of you baby dust! Love from one of your "sisters" who remembers the struggle! -
I'm 49 years old and 8 months pregnant. I got married for the first time at 41 – hubby is 7 years younger. We got pregnant naturally at 43 and 44 but lost both. Did IVF donor egg for the first time in December and I'm now expecting one – transferred 2 embryos but only one took – which is probably for the best. . The coordinator told me my positive attitude probably helped. Have faith and don't let anyone tell you what to do. I've always wanted children, but didn't meet the right man until later in life. There is hope.
Dear Kim,
I'm sending you all my prayers and blessings that you conceive! I admire you for trying to get pregnant at age 47….and I wish with all my heart that you succeed.
Laurie -
I am encouraged by all the over 40 women trying or wishing to conceive. I became pregnant naturally and easily at ages 38 and 40. We made a grave error in waiting 2 years after the second and then my cycles started to go crazy. (beginning of perimenopause)…we did one IVF cycle last year with my own eggs and sadly the baby did not implant and I only produced one follicle, so there were no more to try with. So now here we are and I'm now 47 and my hubby is 41….an we are doing a donor egg cycle at the end of the month out of the country. We really hope this works, because it is the last try.
Thanks for your comments! Getting pregnant when you're over age forty is more challenging than when you're twenty, but it's definitely doable I love to hear the positive stories from 40 year old women who got pregnant – and I'm also interested in hearing from the women who couldn't get pregnant over age 40. I suspect there are more of those, unfortunately.
Well… this article is certainly very encouraging for me, especially now that I'm getting ready to do an in vitro with donated eggs in July. I'm 47, very healthy, married, but childless for an unknown reason ( I tried to get pregnant in my late 20's with my first husband but we couldn't. Also, for no specific reason so…). At least that's what all the doctors always told me when I couldn't get pregnant. I started inseminations at 38 when I met my second husband, but they didn't work, so we did IVF, 3 rounds, with my own eggs. They retrieved so many eggs each time it was ridiculous, but it didn't work. So I decided, no more IVF's and we started the adoption process. Then, last March, we met a fertility doctor that specialized in Spain (best country in the world for IVF's and infertility treatments by the way) and he asked me: have you tried egg donation? I can give you a 75% to 80% possibilities to get pregnant, especially being so healthy as you are (never smoked, don't drink, vegetarian, organic zealot, exercise). He really made me think, because my mind was made up about IVF treatments and all the side effects and the hormones and the disappointments, well you know… So here I am, at 47, ready to do another one, with egg donation, absolutely terrified of getting pregnant with two ( Doctor told me there's a BIG CHANCE) but hey, I believe your child will come when he/she has to come. Not before, not after. I also think that sometimes life has other plans for you, and then after all the things you've done (work, travel, finding the right man to be the father of your children, etc, etc) you say: now I feel it's the time for me to be a mom. But, it may be too late biologically. So now, I'm going with the flow, taking it very easy but still extremely nervous. Am I too old for this? After hearing Mary Beth's story… I don't think so!
i still have it in my head, that i will get pregnant at 46 years of age, i just have to be positive and to push it too much
I stopped taking the pill at 41, I did not have another period as I became pregnant straight away. I became pregnant again whilst still breastfeeding the first baby. I had my daughter at 43. Piece of cake did not even get a stretch mark. I came home 6 hours after giving birth tp my daughter at 43 and walked the dogs and cooked the dinner!!! I am 51 and still having regular periods, terrified I might get pregnant again if I start a new relationship ( have been celebate for 7 years – too scared in case I get pregnant again) – so lets hear it for the older mum yeah yeah yeab
Getting pregnant in your 40s is definitely more difficult than getting pregnant in your 20s — but it's easier than getting pregnant in your 50s!
It's difficult, but not impossible……..
It is very encouraging to hear that there may be opportunities to have a baby after 40. I have a couple of friends with 40 and 42 years and they are very disappointed of not having babies before 40. I will tell them that there are always alternatives and they should try.
This is really encouraging. I've been trying to get pregnant for 6 months now. I'm 41. Hope I'll get my miracle on my birthday.
Dear Martha,
I wish I could give you a magic natural recipe for pregnancy, but I just don't know. The sad thing is, once we reach 40, our chances of getting pregnant are much lower than when we're 35, or even 38 (much less 22!!).
My best advice would be to talk to a fertility specialist. Not necessarily a naturopath or alternative medicine practictioner — I think you need to find out if you're still ovulating. If you're not producing eggs, then I'm pretty sure that no amount of natural herbal remedies or acupuncture can create them!
Talk to a fertility doctor; the initial consultation should be free. They can test whether or not you're still ovulating, and then you can figure out your next step.
I know how hard it is — I'm 40, and I think my chances of getting pregnant have passed! But it's different for us, because we could never get pregnant naturally (my husband has azoospermia). Accepting the fact that you'll never get pregnant is so difficult and heartbreaking…not that I'm saying you're in this boat! You never know, some women do get pregnant when they're over 50.
But, I believe the best thing you can do is find out if you're still producing eggs.
Let me know how it goes.
Laurie -
I'm so glad I found this site. I'm 47 and I haven't had children. My first marriage went bad. Even though the doctor did lots of tests and told me I was ok. I was not getting pregnant. They found endometriosis, and did on me a few insemination, didn't work (I confess I was a little nervous cause I didn't see my marriage becoming solid in almost 7 years married, but after a couple of months later 6 months I got separated. To make long story short. Now I'm married to 55 year old man and he had kids in her first marriage and it seems (and it hurts) that he is not too much into having kids… although he says "if you get pregnant it will be a miracle and I will be so happy". I'm thinking maybe he knows it's hard to get pregnant at this age and soon will be 48. I feel is starting to affect my life and I'm starting to have deep depressions that I try not to show to anybody. And I feel that I'm more into the willing to become a mom than what he is to become a daddy of one of our own. I never consider adoption not because I wouldn't like to but I always dreamt about becoming a mom and see the miracle of a baby that looks a little like mom and dad. It was always my dream. Please give me some advice. Is there something natural that we can be doing. I mean something to take or something that could help conception?
Dear Raisa,
That's great that you know what was stopping you from getting pregnant! That's the first step towards conceiving — and it's an important one. The more you know about your own body, the better.
I hope the second time is the charm….I'd love to hear how it goes…
Laurie -
Wow, this is wonderful news, it certainly gives me hope! I'm 42 and trying to get pregnant too; I just started my 3rd in vitro…basically saying 3 is a strike. The first try, we recently discovered, could have never been successful as there was something covering the lining of the uterous which is now removed, but we tried it after and the egg didn't implant; this will be second time after the lining issue was removed…
Laurie, thanks so much. I agree that money is such a beast. I feel like we are stuck between a rock and a very hard place because we do not have the money to do either IVF or a regular adoption. It's very frustrating.
Michele, that is such a good question about raising money for IVF or adoption…I don't know what to say!
One of my friends who was trying to conceive for 5 years — and has no money — was gearing up to ask her dad to "donate" $10,000 to her cause. Then, she got pregnant with IUI, which was inexpensive enough that she didn't need to ask him for the money.
Asking people on a website is an interesting idea — especially if you're open and honest about how long you've been trying to get pregnant, and how much this means to you.
I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything else to suggest! I'll give it more thought…I wonder if there are any experimental IVF procedures that you could participate in? I'm not even sure how you'd find them. But, most universities and hospitals that need to do trials also need voluteers…I'd be happy to be part of an IVF trial!
Money is such a beast. And, infertility treatments are so bloody expensive.
I'd consider asking family members and close friends for a loan, to be paid off within 2-5 years — however long you need.
If I can think of anything more creative, I'll be back!
I wish you all the best, and my heart goes out to you.
Becky, thank you so much for all of the great information. Best of luck to you. Lots of baby dust : )
Hi Michelle,
As a foster parent I can tell you there is a "chance" to adopt through foster care and this plan is relatively free. Another option – private adoption costs money and the birth mother has to choose you. International adoption is a good option especially if you want to get a certain type of match to your family. If you want Af. Am. go to Haiti for example and if you want blue eyed kids shorter statured maybe you should try Ukraine.
Okay…to raise money I would establish your own website and put it at the bottom of every thing you send out. Direct people to it. On your website let people know the reasons for adoption. Another adoption option for you could be embryo adoption which is relatively inexpensive. Just search for this online and….Good Luck. I just turned 43 and my husband and I have been going through 16 years of infertility. He had an undescended testicle as a child and a varicocele. I was perfectly fine. Now I am getting older and it looks like my eggs are fine for 2-3 months and then I have a wonky cycle. This month is looking good and my husband just got another SFA done yesterday so we hope that turns out well. We are also doing clomid this month starting tomorrow. We are doing what we can until our insurance runs out which is about $10K more. We are only doing minimally invasive procedures. I think we are going to try an IUI this month.
Best of luck to you. -
Mary Beth, I'm 44 and have been TTC fr 2 plus years. We would like to try IVF but do not have the money. Do you have suggestions on ways to "raise" funds for IVF or even adoption, which is also very expensive.
Yes you are still so young, Leslie Ann…and have so many wonderful options available to help you get pregnant. It will happen!! Just try to enjoy the ride, stay positive and not worry about it.
All the best to you,
Mary Beth
Thanks, Mary Beth! You're inspiring! After 2 years of TTC, a miscarriage last year, 3 months of meds, and just turning 40, I'm getting discouraged. This is just what I needed to read today! No need to panic–I'm still young! Best to you, Mary Beth, Kaylee, and LauriePK!
Oh – one more thing. My mom (who initially wouldn't even discuss our decision to use IVF) is now flying out next week to attend my baby shower. She is now very excited to welcome a new little grand daughter! I knew she would come around, but only when she was ready and on her terms.
Mary Beth
Thank you so much for your comments and positive feedbak. You are very wise to think out all the pluses and minuses of how you will handle this situation. Very sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Hopefully your IVF procedure will be smooth sailing!!!! We are now 8 weeks away from having our little girl join us…and it is such a miracle and a blessing. I really wish the same for you. Please keep in touch, OK?
All the best and wonderful positive thoughts for you!!! – Mary Beth -
I wish you all the best with your IVF, Kelsee! I hope you get pregnant, and stay pregnant until that baby is ready to be born.
I considered IVF, but am not ready yet…want to try another six months of IUI first.
I think you are amazing and wish you every happiness and success
I too am 51y and understand everything you have said
I have had 3 miscarriages in last 4 years so have just decided to try IVF So far we do not plan to tell family or friends as l believe it is our decision alone and too many people want to be negative about pregnancy in latter life so l think as it is best to have a positive attitude this is definately something we plan to keep private

Is it that much more difficult to do? I figure if I am making 5 gallons i might as well make 10, go big or go home. What would I need to do this? Would I just need a couple more ale pails? Thanks.
Other than the increased amount of ingredients and water, the only thing you really need to worry about is your equipment and whether or not it can handle larger batches. Otherwise, as long as you have a mash tun and boil kettle big enough you can easily do a 10 gallon batch and just do 5 gallons each in separate buckets.
The bag of grain is a little heavier...
I brewed my first 10 gallon batch a couple weeks ago. You mean I can make twice as much beer in the same amount of time? "F" 5 gallon batches.
You can also use two different yeast strains in the two diff fermenters to be able to compare the difference.
I've been wondering how much more time it really does take. I know it'll take a bit longer to heat water to temps, longer to drain the mash, siphon from kettle etc., but what about chilling? If I can chill 5 gals to pitching temps in say 20-25 minutes, how much longer should I expect with 10 gals?
I like a little more beer in my beer.
I takes me another hour MAYBE to do a 10G batch over a 5G batch between bring water up to temp, drain mash tun, coming to boil, and draining twice as much through my CFC via gravity.

Hi there, i have bought this flour that is made with rice and potato starch, it has no xanthan gum or anything else added to it. I have read online that to make a successful loaf you need to add other ingredients. I don't necessarily want to make bread from this bread as I shall go and get a flour that is already mixed and ready, however i would like to make something from it without having to buy all these other ingredients! has anyone any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you asking about a already made bread like the title says? Or you asking about a flour mix you have purchased?
With any flour, wheat or otherwise, you would need something to make it rise like yeast or baking soda. Depending on what you are making, you might not need Xantham gum. You could probably make cookies or pancakes with a plain flour mix .

You could also make brownies with it. White rice flour is used for tempura and is decent for lightly breading things before baking/frying (with Parmesan, herbs and spices for chicken, for example). You can also use it for a roux or bechamel sauce or to thicken other sauces.
Karen is right - for most baking you would definitely need a higher-protein flour for cookies, muffins, cakes, etc. in addition to the white rice flour.

Except for the poor quality of my mattress( my eleven year old refused to sleep on it, so I had to!), everything was very good! We picked the place for the easy access to the Vienna , Airport and the shuttle was very convenient and on time! If there is public transportation close by, this hotel would also be a very affordable and still very nice place to stay to explore Vienna. The restaurant has a nice outdoor patio and serves delicious food! try the " Hugo" for a drink! best I had during my stay in Austria! Change that one mattress ( and maybe some new towels wouldn't hurt either) and I would give it a 10overall!

I´ve only staved one night. I´ve had a single room for 49 eur. It had a big comfy bed, free cable tv. free 3h internet. The restaurant was open till midnight. I´ve been welcomed very friendly and wouldn´t have to check aut till 12:00pm. So as I am used to london hotels, this 3 tar hotel was amazing for the prize.

US 20040103133 A1 Abstract If there are N inputs into a decimate-by-M filter, a plurality (N/M) of decimate-by-N sub-filters is configured in parallel. Each decimation sub-filter outputs one sample, resulting in an aggregate of (N/M) output samples per processing cycle. The inputs to each sub-filter should be out of phase by M samples.
Claims(7) 1. A method of multiple input-multiple output digital filtering though decimate-by-M decimation comprising the steps of:
(a) providing in parallel, a plurality of (N/M) decimate-by-N sub-filters; and (b) staggering the inputs to each said sub-filter to be out of phase by M samples, where N is a multiple of M. 2. The method of
3. The method of
4. A decimate-by-M filter comprising:
(a) a plurality of (N/M) decimate-by-N sub-filters configured in parallel; and (b) a plurality of inputs into said sub-filters where said inputs are out of phase from each other by M samples, and N is a multiple of M. 5. The filter of
6. The filter of
7. A digital filtering method for decimating by M, comprising the steps of:
(a) sampling input signal x(n) at input sampling frequency to create a plurality of samples; (c) staggering said samples to be out of phase by M samples; (b) multiplying said samples with a plurality of coefficients to obtain output signal y(n), at a frequency less than said input sampling frequency; where said coefficients are obtained and said multiplication are performed according to the transpose form of a FIR. Description [0001] This invention relates to wideband signal processing. [0002] A decimator takes as input a stream of samples at a certain sample rate and outputs a stream of samples at a lower sample rate. The decimator typically includes a filter which removes energy contained in the frequencies above the Nyquist frequency (Fs/2) of the output sample rate. [0003] Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) provide the input stream of samples to the decimator. The sample rate of this stream can be several times the maximum processing clock speed of a hardware implementation of a filter. For example, an ADC could provide a stream at a sample rate of 800 million samples per second, whereas a hardware implementation of a filter may only have a processing clock speed of 200 million cycles per second. [0004] Prior art decimating filters include many variants on the single-output sample per processing cycle. In contrast, this invention provides a decimating filter structure that features multiple output samples to be generated on each processing clock cycle by the parallel use of multiple sub-filters, and thus permits the hardware speed limitations of any single sub-filter to be obviated. [0005] Suppose that an �N inputs into a decimate-by-M� filter is desired where the clock speed of the filter is insufficient to process the input sample rate. For example, it is desired to reduce the sample rate by a factor of 2 (4 input samples per cycle and 2 output samples per cycle�see FIG. 1). This invention involves the implementation of a plurality (N/M) of decimate-by-N sub-filters along the following lines. Each decimation sub-filter outputs one sample, resulting in an aggregate of (N/M) output samples per processing cycle. The inputs to each sub-filter should be out of phase by M samples. For example, with 4 inputs into a decimate-by-2 filter, there will be 2 decimate-by-4 sub-filters and the inputs to each sub-filter need to be out of phase by 2 samples, as shown in FIG. 2. The effect of this invention is the output sample rates may be higher than the processing speed of processing clock rate of the filter (i.e. higher than any single sub-filter thereof). [0006] According to this invention, there is provided a method of multiple input-multiple output digital filtering though decimate-by-M decimation comprising the steps of: (a) providing in parallel, a plurality of (N/M) decimate-by-N sub-filters; and (b) staggering the inputs to each said sub-filter to be out of phase by M samples, where N is a multiple of M. [0007] A better understanding of the present invention can be obtained when the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment is considered in conjunction with the following drawings, in which: [0008]FIG. 1 shows a decimating filter accepting 4 input samples and generating 2 output samples on every clock cycle; [0009]FIG. 2 shows the implementation according to this invention, of the filter in FIG. 1, consisting of two decimate-by-4 filters, with inputs which are 2 samples out of phase; [0010]FIG. 3 shows the frequency spectrum of a signal which is input to the DDC; [0011]FIG. 4 shows the frequency spectrum after shifting to baseband; [0012]FIG. 5 shows a simple direct-form FIR filter; [0013]FIG. 6 shows a simple transpose-form FIR filter; [0014]FIG. 7 shows a filter running at the output rate; [0015]FIG. 8 shows a decimating direct-form FIR filter; [0016]FIG. 9 shows a decimating transpose-form FIR filter; [0017]FIG. 10 shows a MIMO decimating filter; [0018]FIG. 11 shows an implementation of the MIMO decimating filter of FIG. 10; [0019]FIG. 12 shows staggered inputs to MIMO decimating filter of FIG. 11; [0020]FIG. 13 shows a preferred embodiment of the MIMO filter; [0021]FIG. 14 shows a conceptual organization of the MIMO filter of FIG. 13; [0022]FIG. 15 shows a simplified view of the MIMO filter of FIG. 14; and [0023]FIG. 16 shows an implementation of the filter of FIG. 2. [0024] In a typical digital signal proceessing system, a signal is acquired from an antenna and is sampled by an analog to digital converter (ADC). Then a digital downconverter (DDC) is used to prepare the signal data for a digital signal processor (DSP). The DDC first effects a frequency shift, then filters and then discards samples, passing only part of the signal on to the DSP. [0025]FIG. 3 shows the frequency spectrum of a signal which is input to the DDC. The signal has been real sampled at Fs, and therefore, the signal of interest is in the range [0,Fs/2]. Outside of this range, the signal consists of aliases of the signal of interest. [0026] The first stage of the DDC shifts the signal of interest to baseband (0 Hz), as shown in FIG. 4, by multiplying the incoming stream of samples by a complex sinusoid: e−j2πiFs/4. Because the signal is multiplied by a complex number, the result is also complex. As a result, useful information is contained in the negative frequencies. [0027] Useful information is available in the range [−Fs/2,Fs/2] but the signal of interest only takes up the range [−Fs/4,Fs/4]. Therefore, the sampling rate can be reduced by half. One way to reduce the sampling rate is to discard every other sample. The effect of doing this in the frequency domain, however would be to overlay the aliases onto the signal of interest. Therefore, before discarding every other sample, the signal should be low-pass filtered to remove the aliases which would interfere with the signal of interest. [0028] A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is mathematically expressed as y(n)=Σicix(n−i), n=0, 1, 2 . . . number of samples, and i=0, 1, to the number of coefficients, and can be diagrammatically expressed with a combination of delay elements (z−1) and multipliers (arrow). FIG. 5 shows a simple direct-form FIR filter with 6 taps that could be used to low-pass filter the input signal x(n) to remove the unwanted aliases. An FIR filter effectively implements a convolution in the time domain (which is a multiplication in the frequency domain). Thus the frequency response of the filter is defined roughly by the Fourier transform of the coefficients ci. [0029]FIG. 6 shows an equivalent way of constructing the FIR filter, called a transpose-form FIR filter. In a transpose-form filter, all the multiplications are performed on the current input (not delayed versions of it, as in the direct-form filter). [0030] In the typical implementation of a DDC, samples from the output of the filter are discarded. It is wasteful to calculate something which will be discarded. For example, if the input stream was arriving at 200 MSPS (million samples per second), the filter would calculate 200 million outputs per second, even though only 100 million outputs are actually used. [0031] It is better to run the filter at the same rate as the output, as shown in FIG. 7. The input is multiplexed onto two lines going into the filter. Thus, the filter calculates a new output for each two inputs. It is then no longer necessary to discard outputs since they were never calculated. [0032]FIGS. 8 and 9 show the structure of the direct-form and transpose-form filters running at the output rate. Comparing them with FIGS. 5 and 6 show them to be equivalent to calculating every output and throwing outputs away. Favorably, the filters can run at a lower speed. [0033] What happens when the input sample stream is coming in faster than the filter can process it? For example, the input samples are arriving at 400 MSPS, but the multipliers in the filter can run at a maximum rate of 100 MHz. If decimating by 2 (i.e. discarding every other sample), an output stream of 200 MSPS is needed, but the filter cannot run that fast. If the filter is running at its limit of 100 MHz, we need to accept 4 input samples and generate 2 output samples per clock, as shown in FIG. 10. [0034] To implement such a filter, take a plurality of MISO (multiple input, single output) filters (see FIGS. 5 and 6 for the decimate-by-2 case). As shown in FIG. 11, two identical MISO decimate-by-4 filters are configured in parallel (sub-filters A and B) with the inputs to those sub-filters are staggered by two samples, to create a MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) filter. [0035] The inputs provided to the two sub-filters are shown in FIG. 12. Sub-filter A will receive (x(2),x(3),x(4),x(5)) followed by (x(6),x(7),x(8),x(9)), while sub-filter B will receive (x(4),x(5),x(6),x(7)) followed by (x(8),x(9),x(10),x(11)). [0036] Generally, if it is desired to decimate-by-M, then a plurality of (N/M) decimate-by-N sub-filters are required in parallel, with the inputs to each sub-filter staggered or out of phase by M samples, where N is a multiple of M. [0037]FIG. 13 is an implementation of the MIMO filter of FIG. 11. It uses transpose-form for both sub-filters, and the delay elements used to stagger the inputs have been pushed through the multipliers and adders. Expanding this filter to include more coefficients is effected by simple design. [0038] The major advantage to this structure is that it can be divided up into a multiplier array and the filter structures, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. [0039] Because the multiplier array generates all of its products from the input values and fixed coefficients, huge optimizations can be made in the multiplier structures. [0040] Table 1 shows a list of the products the multiplier array must calculate.
[0041] According to Table 1, the multiplier array must generate products for the multiplication of x(4n), for example, by c0, c4, c8, c12, c2, c6, c10 and c14. Because the input value (x(4n)) is the same, partial products can be shared. Selection of coefficients can be optimized to reduce the complexity of the multipliers. For example, if c0 was 34 and c4 was 181 (=128+34), then the partial product of 34*x(4n) can be shared. [0042] When the filter coefficients are symmetric, as seen in Table 2, many of the products can be shared among the two sub-filters. Even more optimal is using a half-band symmetric filter (in which every second coefficient is 0), as seen in Table 3.
[0043] [0044] In the preferred embodiment, each of the decimate-by-N sub-filters are of the half-band type, and are implemented in the transposed form. This allows the multipliers and coefficients to be shared among all (N/M) sub-filters. [0045]FIG. 16 show the implementation of the filter shown in FIG. 2, as a 4-input decimate-by-2 filter whose sub-filters share the following 9-tap half-band coefficients:
[0046] This embodiment requires less than 400 logic cells (LCs) in a common field programmable gate array. [0047] Thus it is seen that the coefficients ci and multipliers can be shared between the constituent sub-filters, and several optimizations can be made by using half-band filter coefficients, where every second coefficient is 0. [0048] Although the method and apparatus of the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to be limited to the specific form set forth herein, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, as can be reasonably included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Has anyone created an empty solution stack for .NET (C#) that incorporates an IoC framework for DI using multiple projects? I've struggled for months to create a good reusable stack that has:
- MVC UI web app
- Empty BLL project (will add real entities later)
- Empty DAL project (will add real daab classes later)
- Reference/Search data tier
- Includes an IoC framework
- Sample usage of DI in a Home controller that can reach all the way to the DAL thru the entity layer or to ref/search tier all thru interfaces
- Must NOT set a hard reference of any concrete classes at the UI layer
I've attempted this a few times but I always get hung up at #6 and I'm missing something basic in the structure of the stack. Has anyone managed to do this and have a sample solution to show how it's structured? I can create stacks all day long and add a IoC framework, but completely fail at getting it structured so that no concrete references are added to the UI layer. How else can the interface/concrete resolution of objects take place?
Surely some of you scholars have nipped this in the bud, please share some of this enlightenment with me :-)
ps - I've read Mark Seeman's book more than once.. I understand the concept of Composition Root... but have never seen one in use in an NTier solution and have been unable to implement the theory successfully
What I am looking for is a fleshed out solution stack of multiple projects that can be used as a base to start from. One that implements the composition root successfully and can be used to teach the SOLID principles by doing instead of telling. A solution that brings it all to life.

A meteorite that smashed into the moon last September caused a bright flash that persisted for 8 seconds, setting a new record for lunar impacts. The high-speed collision was recorded on video and would have been clearly visible to anyone on Earth who happened to look at the moon at the right time, scientists say.
The dramatic lunar impact was spotted by researchers' telescopes near Seville in southern Spain on Sept. 11, 2013. That's when the scientists say a rock the size of a small car — one traveling at nearly 38,000 mph — slammed into the moon. The impact released energy equal to around 15.6 tons of TNT, they say.
The resulting explosion was "almost as bright as the Pole Star, which makes it the brightest impact event that we have recorded from Earth," professor Jose Madiedo of the University of Huelva tells the BBC
"This is the largest, brightest impact we have ever observed on the Moon," says Madiedo, one of four co-authors of a report about the powerful lunar impact published Sunday by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
In what may help explain the long-lasting flash, the researchers cite recent theories that suggest visible radiation is "emitted from the condensing ejecta that cool down and form silicate droplets."
Madiedo and his fellow scientists say the impact left a new crater on the moon that likely measures more than 130 feet in diameter. But they caution that specifics about the meteorite's impact are tough to nail down, in part because its origin cannot be determined.
"Two sources have been considered for the impactor," they write. "The event was compatible with the impact geometry of the September Epsilon Perseids minor shower, but it could also be associated with a sporadic meteorid."
The Spanish researchers say the telescopes that spotted the impact are part of a project called MIDAS – for Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System.
The moon is a ripe research area for meteorite impacts, having no atmosphere to prevent them from hitting home as the Earth does.
It's a certainty that the moon has seen far larger explosions on its surface than the one reported this week. But the blast's power is believed to be triple that of the previous large impact, which was reported by NASA last year.
Madiedo and his colleagues say they'll keep watching for more impacts.
"Our telescopes will continue observing the Moon as our meteor cameras monitor the Earth's atmosphere," Phys.org reports him saying. "In this way we expect to identify clusters of rocks that could give rise to common impact events on both planetary bodies. We also want to find out where the impacting bodies come from."
