BMW X3 vs. Volkswagen Tiguan Lemon Odds and Nada Odds
Other sources of BMW X3 and Volkswagen Tiguan reliability data provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of BMW X3s and Volkswagen Tiguans with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of BMW X3s and Volkswagen Tiguans that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.
These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track BMW X3 and Volkswagen Tiguan lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the BMW X3 and Volkswagen Tiguan have been recently.

BMW X3 and Volkswagen Tiguan Lemon Odds and Nada Odds for the Year Ending December 31, 2014
That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.
Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.
An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

IBFAN Africa 9th Regional Conference theme: "Prevention and Management of Chronic Malnutrition through Appropriate IYCF Practices." IBFANers are urged to source funds for participation in the Regional Conference to be held in Uganda. The conference which was earmarked for September/October 2014 has now been postponed to 2015 ; exact dates will be communicated in due course. Keep on visiting this site for more details.
FAO/WHO Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2)
Place: FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy
Date: 19–21 November 2014
The aim of ICN2 is to create consensus on how to address major nutrition challenges—including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight—with a view to achieving the global nutrition targets by 2025 set by the World Health Assembly.
Key goals
A key goal is to achieve coherence between food supply and public health policies, as they both contribute to food and nutrition security. Participants will also examine the best ways of scaling up proven interventions for tackling all forms of malnutrition.
ICN2 will identify public policy priorities at the national and global levels. It will be the first high-level intergovernmental conference on nutrition since the first International Conference on Nutrition was organized by FAO and WHO in 1992.
Participants will include experts from food and agriculture, health and other sectors as well as United Nations agencies and other intergovernmental organizations, civil society, researchers, the private sector and consumer associations.
Of all the things that we feed to our children, breast milk may be the best: custom-designed for each and every baby, locally sourced, available on-demand and free. Yet parents spend about $11.5bn a year on baby formula, an expensive, less healthy and less sustainable substitute.
In an effort to change that, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF have, for the past 20 years, worked to make hospitals around the world more "baby-friendly". This Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative has focused especially on reducing formula use by new mothers. A variety of creative strategies are part of this:
• Educating mothers of the significant benefits of breastfeeding
• Helping new mothers initiate breastfeeding immediately after birth
• Stopping the pernicious distribution of free formula samples which conveys to new mothers that the hospitals support formula as much as or even more than breastfeeding
• Tracking disbursements of formula by nurses to increase staff accountabilityRead more...

"A child's workday typically begins at six in the morning and ends in the evening. Some of the children use chainsaws to clear the forests. Other children climb the cocoa trees to cut bean pods using a machete. These large, heavy, dangerous knives are the standard tools for children on the cocoa farms, which violates international labor laws and a UN convention on eliminating the worst forms of child labor. Once they cut the bean pods from the trees, the children pack the pods into sacks that weigh more than 100 pounds when full and drag them through the forest", Aly Diabate, a former cocoa slave, said, "Some of the bags were taller than me. It took two people to put the bag on my head. And when you didn't hurry, you were beaten."

Malawi: Between 1992 and 2010, the average rate of exclusive breastfeeding among infants less than 6 months of age increased from 3% to 71% in Malawi, representing an annual increase of 3-4 percentage points per year. Malawi's progress on raising exclusive breastfeeding rates has been attributed to strong leadership in support of infant and young child feeding at all levels of government; well-articulated policies and guidelines; integrated services at the community level providing infant and young child feeding support through multiple channels; national advocacy and intensive mass education to increase support for and knowledge of breastfeeding; implementation of baby-friendly hospital initiative and links to prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV programmes.Read more...
Key message of the week
Avoidance of mixed feeding is key to the survival and growth of the child within the first 6 months and this has long term effects of childhood development.
Do we really need to mix feed? No
Risk of Mixed Feeding
Mixed feeding, or giving other liquids and/or foods together with breast milk to infants under 6 months of age, is widespread in many countries. This practice poses risks to an infant's health because it can increase the chance of their getting diarrhea and other infectious diseases. Mixed feeding, especially giving water or other liquids, can also causes the supply of breast milk to decrease as the baby sucks less at the breast. Babies do not need liquids other than breastmilk, not even water, in the first 6 months as breastmilk contains all the water a baby needs, even in very hot climates.
Mixed feeding increases the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV. Exclusive breastfeeding for up to six months was associated with a three to four fold decreased risk of transmission of HIV compared to mixed feeding breastfeeding in several African studies.
1. Conflicts of interest
The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative: IBFAN's concern about the role of businesses
The INTERNATIONAL BABY FOOD ACTION NETWORK (IBFAN) is a 33 year-old global network that works to protect, promote and support breastfeeding and food-based complementary feeding, in realization of a child's right to health and adequate food. IBFAN is committed to working with governments, the United Nations and other organisations to address child survival and to draw the world's attention to strategies that tackle malnutrition in a just, equitable and sustainable way, giving priority to peoples' ability to produce and access nutritious foods locally.
Breastfeeding and child survival, the most effective intervention gets the least attention
Breastfeeding tops the list of effective preventive interventions for child survival. Together with appropriate complementary feeding these two have more impact even than immunization, safe water and sanitation.There is no food more locally produced, affordable and sustainable than breastmilk. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of diarrhea, chest infections (the biggest killers of children) and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancers. It is also an important factor in child spacing for the millions of women who have no access to modern forms of contraception.In the second year of life breastfeeding can provide 29% of energy requirements, 43% of protein, 75% of Vitamin A, 76% of Folate, 94% of vitamin C. An analysis by Action Against Hunger (ACF) show that breastfeeding is the 3rd least popular intervention in terms of funding and that product-based micronutrient interventions are now dominating the nutrition scene.

By Henry Franken, Sven van Dijk and Bas van Gils, BiZZdesign
The discipline of enterprise architecture (EA) was developed in the 1980s with a strong focus on the information systems landscape of organizations. Since those days, the scope of the discipline has slowly widened to include more and more aspects of the enterprise as a whole. This holistic perspective takes into account the concerns of a wide variety of stakeholders. Architects, especially at the strategic level, attempt to answer the question: "How should we organize ourselves in order to be successful?"
An architecture framework is a foundational structure or set of structures for developing a broad range of architectures and consists of a process and a modeling component. The TOGAF framework and the ArchiMate modeling language – both maintained by The Open Group – are two leading and widely adopted standards in this field.
While both the TOGAF framework and the ArchiMate modeling language have a broad (enterprise-wide) scope and provide a practical starting point for an effective EA capability, a key factor is the successful embedding of EA standards and tools in the organization. From this perspective, the implementation of EA means that an organization adopts processes for the development and governance of EA artifacts and deliverables. Standards need to be tailored, and tools need to be configured in the right way in order to create the right fit. Or more popularly stated, "For an effective EA, it has to walk the walk, and talk the talk of the organization."
EA touches on many aspects such as business, IT (and especially the alignment of these two), strategic portfolio management, project management, and risk management. EA is by definition about cooperation and therefore it is impossible to operate in isolation. Successful embedding of an EA capability in the organization is typically approached as a change project with clearly defined goals, metrics, stakeholders, appropriate governance and accountability, and with assigned responsibilities in place.
With this in mind, we share three best practices for the successful implementation of EA:
Think big, start small
The potential footprint of a mature EA capability is as big as the entire organization, but one of the key success factors for being successful with EA is to deliver value early on. Experience from our consultancy practice proves that a "think big, start small" approach has the most potential for success. This means that the process of implementing an EA capability is a process with iterative and incremental steps, based on a long term vision. Each step in the process must add measurable value to the EA practice, and priorities should be based on the needs and the change capacity of the organization.
Combine process and modeling
The TOGAF framework and the ArchiMate modeling language are a powerful combination. Deliverables in the architecture process are more effective when based on an approach that combines formal models with powerful visualization capabilities.
The TOGAF standard describes the architecture process in detail. The Architecture Development Method (ADM) is the core of the TOGAF standard. The ADM is a customer-focused and value-driven process for the sustainable development of a business capability. The ADM specifies deliverables throughout the architecture life-cycle with a focus on the effective communication to a variety of stakeholders.
ArchiMate is fully complementary to the content as specified in the TOGAF standard. The ArchiMate standard can be used to describe all aspects of the EA in a coherent way, while tailoring the content for a specific audience. Even more, an architecture repository is a valuable asset that can be reused throughout the enterprise. This greatly benefits communication and cooperation of enterprise architects and their stakeholders.
Use a tool
It is true, "a fool with a tool is still a fool." In our teaching and consulting practice we have found, however, that adoption of a flexible and easy to use tool can be a strong driver in pushing the EA initiative forward.
van Dijk
EA brings together valuable information that greatly enhances decision making, whether on a strategic or more operational level. This knowledge not only needs to be efficiently managed and maintained, it also needs to be communicated to the right stakeholder at the right time, and even more importantly, in the right format.
EA has a diverse audience that has business and technical backgrounds, and each of the stakeholders needs to be addressed in a language that is understood by all. Therefore, essential qualifications for EA tools are: rigidity when it comes to the management and maintenance of knowledge and flexibility when it comes to the analysis (ad-hoc, what-if, etc.), presentation, and communication of the information to diverse audiences.
So what you are looking for is a tool with solid repository capabilities, flexible modeling and analysis functionality.
EA brings value to the organization because it answers more accurately the question: "How should we organize ourselves?" Standards for EA help monetize on investments in EA more quickly. The TOGAF framework and the ArchiMate modeling language are popular, widespread, open and complete standards for EA, both from a process and a language perspective.
van Gils
EA becomes even more effective if these standards are used in the right way. The EA capability needs to be carefully embedded in the organization. This is usually a process based on a long term vision and has the most potential for success if approached as "think big, start small." Enterprise Architects can benefit from tool support, provided that it supports flexible presentation of content, so that it can be tailored for the communication to specific audiences.

DecoArt Products Required
Patio Paint
- DCP10 - Summer Sky Blue
- DCP14 - Cloud White
- DCP35 - Sterling Silver
- DCP43 - Holly Berry Red
- Three unfinished wood spools (1-1/2" x 1/3", 1/4" holes)

NOTE: Allow paint to dry after each application.
1. Paint wheels Sterling Silver.
2. Paint star and one spool Holly Berry Red.
3. Paint one spool Summer Sky Blue; paint remaining spool Cloud White.
4. For handle, slide one Sterling Silver wheel onto rod. Slide Holly Berry Red, then Cloud White, then Summer Sky Blue spool onto rod. Slide remaining Sterling Silver wheel onto rod.

We first became acquainted with Madonna Place in 2004. Over these 10 years we have come to witness the critical role that they play in the community. We have seen how they help to prevent child abuse and neglect through educating parents with their Family School Connection and the Families First - Nurturing Families Program. They also have a Family Support Center where parents can come and prepare a meal and obtain basic supplies if needed. Madonna Place is a vital organization serving the community to help ensure proper child development. It's a privilege and honor to partner with them.

I learned about the Madonna Place and how it helps the community a few years ago. I thought it was a great place for children and families to grow together. I actually benefited from the agency when I became a 1st time mom 19 months ago. Its pretty scary to bring a child up in this world and I had someone call me once a week to check up in me through one of the programs run through Madonna Place. She was a mother herself and she gave me tips and insight based on her own life with children that I used to help me get through my first couple of months as a new mom. The other program that I am extremely happy with is the Fatherhood Initiative Program. Having never been part of the program I know what it stands for and how many fathers it has helped. I wish there were more programs out there who give so much hope to the community as Madonna Place does.

craftsman chainsaw problems
Have a 3 1/2 year old craftsman 16" model 358.360260 chainsaw that I can not get started. Have spark and seems to get fuel - even tried starter fluid in the air breather and in the spark plug hole - Are there any other places to check for this machine to prevent it from starting. Has been working OK-do not use it a lot - but just finished cutting up a large maple tree and it worked OK but as I was finishing it started to act up and cut out on me and finally quit starting completely. Suggestions?????
Take off the muffler and inspect the cylinder walls. If there is scratches/gouges, the piston and cylinder have been scored and ruined---either a too lean fuel/oil mix, overheating, or an air leak in the intake system which leaned out the air/fuel mix.
If the scoring is there, it usually costs more to repair than buying a new saw.
Good news and bad news - the piston and cylinder appear to be OK = tryed to start it with the muffler off = no luck. Put everything back together and still no start. Thought about adjusting the H and L screws but have not figured out how to get to them - is there some special tool for this or something to get down in that small space? Thanks for you responses on this problem.
Those screws only work when the engine is running, one is idle mixture adjustment and the other is high speed mixture adjustment.
Since the spark plug sparks and the cylinder/piston are not scored---every place in the cylinder you can see is smooth and shiny, right?---the problem is in the fuel system. Squirt a tiny bit of starting fluid in the air intake and try starting. If the compression is good and the timing is right, it will at least start momentarily. If it does, the fuel system is gummed up(inside the carb or a plugged intank fuel filter) or there is a fuel hose leaking air into the pressurized fuel delivery system. The fuel system is pressurized during the down stroke of the piston on most models, so a leaking gasket on the head or a cracked fuel line can be the culprit. Check the fuel filter first---make a hook using a short piece of wire, hook the fuel line/filter through the fuel filler cap hole in the fuel tank.
Again thanks for your response. Yes, the cylinder/piston looks smooth and shiny. I tried the fuel in the spark plug hole but got no start - that leaves timing-right? (I did hold my thumb over the spark plug hole before reinstalling it and there appears to be good compression. I also checked the spark by holding the plug against the cylinder head and got spark. Now, how does the timing get adjusted? ( I have tried starting fluid also) I did take the fuel filter out and reverse blew it out with a air compressor and it sounds like there was good air flow thru it. I would hate to take this to sears for repair - it might be better to get a new one that do that!!
The timing is preset with no adjustments to speak of. The flywheel is keyed to the crankshaft. It is possible that key has broken/slipped or the flywheel slot is enlarged and the flywheel is mismounted. Take off the flywheel retaining nut and gently pry---using two screwdrivers/small bars----under both sides of the flywheel. This is a touchy job as you can break cooling fins or damage the flywheel if you do it wrong. Check the slots and key.
The coil assembly is attached to the head with 2(sometimes 3) screws. The only adjustment is how far the coil assembly is mounted away from the flywheel. A general rule of thumb is to loosen all the coil mounting bolts, insert a business card between the coil assembly and the magnet on the flywheel and tighten the coil mounting bolts. Turn the flywheel to release the business card.
Try another plug, I've seen many new plugs that were bad right out of the package. Even though they fire when grounded, they might not fire under compression. Another thing I haven't seen mentioned, if the crankcases have filled up with fuel, it won't start. You can pull it through with the muffler off to help clear it or use a blowgun if you have one. If it doesn't pop with starting fluid, I would think Ignition is the problem.
Certainly sounds as though a sheared or slipping key in the flywheel is a leading suspect, as you have spark, compression, and fuel(at least starting fluid). This happened to a Homelite of mine. The keys are soft and are designed to shear if overstressed, for instance if the chain locked at WOT while cutting a large maple log. See HandyMacs post above.
what a wonderful sound - a RUNNING chainsaw!!!!!!! After I adjusted the gap as handmac advised the saw started. It does not idle well - have to keep some pressure on the throttle to keep it running but it RUNS! Thanks for all the good advise and time to give it. You guys are great! I will have to adjust the idle screw - as soon as I can get something that will reach down to grip and turn the screw.
Again thanks to all.
I have my sons Craftsman 18" 42cc Eng: TPWO42UB24RA:EN Ser.# 96086H2OO795- The chain/bar oiler does not work and I have never worked on chainsaw before, please tell me how the oiler works and how to get it working again. All the rest of the saw is perfect.
Could somebody help me? My Craftsman gas chain saw (358.351062) worked well, until I made a new portion of fuel. Now it starts and works for a few seconds. I cleaned air filter and spark plug with fine abrasive paper, but it did not help. When I checked fuel filter I found, that fuel line broke (it became fragule) and filter was on the bottom of fuel tank. If this may be a problem?

9 dead, 926 rescued from capsized Philippine ferry
MANILA, Philippines Passengers leapt into the dark sea and parents dropped children into life rafts when a ferry carrying nearly 1,000 people capsized in the middle of the night in the southern Philippines.
Nine people died and more than 30 were missing though rescue efforts saved about 900 terrified victims on the Superferry 9 early Sunday after it turned on its side 9 miles (15 kilometers) off Zamboanga del Norte province.
The vessel's violent rotation roused frightened passengers from their sleep and sent many jumping in the darkness into the water, coast guard chief Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo said.
Many aboard panicked as the huge ferry listed, said passenger Reymark Belgira. He said he saw parents tossing children to people on life rafts below, but he could not immediately jump himself.
"I held on to the ferry for hours until daybreak. I couldn't jump into the water in the dark," Belgira said.
Rescuers transferred 926 of 968 passengers and crewmen to two nearby commercial ships, a navy gunboat and a fishing boat, Tamayo said. A search was under way for 33 missing people.
"We really hope they're just unaccounted for due to the confusion," Tamayo told The Associated Press.
A coast guard statement said rescue efforts were continued through the night.
Passenger Roger Cinciron said he felt the ferry tilting at about midnight but was assured by a crewman that all was well. About two hours later he was awoken by the sound of crashing cargo below his cabin, he told DZMM radio.
"People began to panic because the ship was really tilting," he said as he waited for rescuers to save him and a group of more than 20 other passengers.
Navy ships were deployed and three military aircraft scoured the seas, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said. American troops providing counterterrorism training to Philippine soldiers in the region deployed a civilian helicopter and five boats, some carrying paramedics, to help, U.S. Col. William Coultrup said.
Teodoro said two men and a child drowned during the scramble to escape the ship. The bodies of two other passengers were later plucked from the sea by fishermen, the coast guard said, adding three people were injured.
A Canadian tourist, Jeffrey Predchuz, was among the survivors, officials said.
The cause of the listing was not clear. The ferry skipper initially ordered everyone on board to abandon ship as a precautionary step, said Jess Supan, vice president of Aboitiz Transport System, which owns the steel-hulled ferry.
There were reports the 7,268-ton vessel listed to the right because of a hole in the hull, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said.
Aerial photos from the navy showed survivors holding on to anything as the ferry tilted. Others climbed down a ladder on the side as a lone orange life raft waited below.
The ferry left the southern port city of General Santos on Saturday and was scheduled to arrive in Iloilo city in the central Philippines on Sunday but ran into problems midway, Tamayo said.
There were no signs of possible terrorism, he said.

Bluefish admit facing Clemens makes game special
Bluefish manager Willie Upshaw — who had several hits off Clemens, including a home run, while with the Blue Jays in the late 1980s — isn't worried just about preparing his team to face the seven-time Cy Young winner. His greatest concern is preparing his team to play well in what's sure to be a playoff atmosphere. [Read More]

There are a lot of significant Corvettes out there. The first fuelie, the first big block, the first car of any Corvette generation or model year, etc. Many of these cars get locked away in a museum and seldom, if ever, see use on the road. When we stumbled across this video of EX-87, "the Duntov Mule", which now resides in the Lingenfelter Collection we had to pass it along. Click past the jump to take a fresh look at the first V8 equipped Corvette.
One of the features at last month's Amelia Island Concours D'elegance was a class made up exclusively of Corvette styling cars. Included in the chic, invitation-only collection of cars was this Firemist Gold 1962 Corvette created under GM Shop Order #10224. It is believed that this one-off was an exercise to produce a 50th Anniversary package to celebrate Chevrolet's golden anniversary.
An owner's love affair with her Corvette never dies. Jill Struck's relationship with her 1960 Corvette is proof of that.
Back in 1966, thanks to $100 in savings from a part-time job and a $1,000 bank loan, she was able to buy a 1960 Corvette in her neighborhood that she had been drooling over for years. After driving it throughout high school, she spruced up the car in 1968 with a custom paint job, new rims, and a new 327 fuel-injected motor.
If you're looking for something to do with your Mega Millions winnings, we recommend heading to Mecum's Spring Classic Auction coming up in May. There they will be offering this 1957 racer which was the first car to use Rochester Fuel injection backed by a 4-speed transmission.
The 10th Annual Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale sale hosted by Auctions America takes place this weekend in Southern Florida. Nearly 70 Corvettes will be offered among the 500 cars expected to attend including 26 pristine Corvettes from the private collection of Tony Parella. The impressive group consists of 1 car from each year 1953 – 1969 and other rarities from the 3rd – 5th generations of America's sports car.
After 50 years, a Michigan man is finally letting someone else take care of one of the loves of his life. Jim Liedel is selling the 1954 Corvette that's he's owned since 1962!
"I'm 68 years old," Liedel tells the Monroe News. "I'm not a kid anymore. I've had my fun."
Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am has been seen around Hollywood lately in his West Coast Custom's 1959 Corvette.
This rare Corvette racer is one of just 10 "big tank" Corvettes assembled in 1960. At the 12 hours of Sebring that year the "Race Rat" won its class, finished 16th overall, and was the only Corvette to finish in the top 25. It'll cross the block on March 9th, 2012 at Gooding and Company's Amelia Island sale.
While perusing the plethora of flashy rides at Detroit Autorama we stumbled across this simply stunning custom 1962 Corvette dubbed "Sixty-Two Twelve". The absolutely striking black roadster built by Cimtex Rods in Jarrell, Texas was being shown by Bruce and Judy Ricks of Sapulpa, Oklahoma.

Publisher's Announcement
In 1968, when I got my first job in computing, we didn't call that room full of computers with a disk drive the size of a Volkswagen an embedded system. But it was. I worked for Collins Radio and what we were working on was a message-switching system. Today, however, that same computing power could easily fit in a 1U rackmount box or be implemented on a Netwinder or Cobalt Qube.
The point is that calling a system embedded doesn't have anything to do with its size, but whether it performs some dedicated task. Besides the changes in size over the years, there have been cost changes. While my microwave doesn't have an embedded processor in it, most, do as do most traffic light controllers and virtually every printer in the world.
Doing an inventory of what is around me at home, here is my list of things that I know have embedded processors: Palm organizer, cell phone, FAX/answering machine, scanner, digital camera, video camera, dish TV receiver, VCR, stereo, laser printer, DSL modem car. At work I can add microwave, label maker, phone system, voice-mail system and conference phone.
This doesn't count other items that most likely have them as well: disk drives, tape drives, monitors, TV and clock radio. This is a big change from 1968. With $50 (US) products out there in the embedded market, there is a lot more to consider than just making a product that works.
We want to help you take the next step. Hardware costs have fallen dramatically, making it possible to put computers into relatively inexpensive products. Efficient code can reduce RAM and ROM requirements. But there are additional costs besides hardware. The OS for your product, development time, development tools and licensing all cost money. Shipping a product with bugs can cost you money and reputation.
With that I'd like to introduce a Linux Journal supplemental issue which will hit the streets October 10, 2000: Embedded Linux Journal. In this special issue you can look forward to conversations about:
industry news—emphasizing open-source software solutions
reviews of products to reduce development time and improve testing
case studies that will save you time
design solutions that show you why embedded Linux is the cost-effective answer
hardware vs. software considerations
Current Linux Journal subscribers who live within North America will receive this special supplement at no additional charge. This issue will also be heavily distributed at upcoming trade shows, other industry events, and to targeted mailing lists.
We're certain you'll enjoy this upcoming Embedded Linux Journal supplement. We look forward to your feedback!

is this alive?
What is this?
As noted in the description, this is a base First Person Shooter mod you can easily edit to get your own going easier.
What will it offer?
This default base has remade character, weapon and camera animations, along with a folder packed with easy-to-edit files so new modders/interested people/anyone really can edit them quickly and without much hassle. It also has a few how-to notes/tutorials if you're more interested in editing the original files directly.
Additionally, once this mod is released, I'll upload all of my source files for animations, models, particles and anything else relevant. This means you'll get the files necessary to edit everything I made without having to start over or re-export things from Milkshape.
I'm also taking suggestions so in case you come up with a cool idea, let me know and I'll see if I include it or not.
You can take a look at the screenshots/videos I'll be posting to get a better idea of how this is looking.
3 comments by ALT_OhDude on Dec 6th, 2014
After some 7 months (wow!) without a single update, I've come to give some good news: immediately after that one comment about not making any progress, I managed to get 3ds Max, the program which because of a problem didn't let me reinstall it, to work again! This means that from now on I'll be able to work on animations again, which are this mod's main comoponent and which give it the bigger part of its First Person effect.
Maybe this is too short for an article but I felt I had to let you all know of the news as soon as I could and before I let any more time pass without saying anything.
So yeah, I just wanted to say that I'm back, that I'm sorry for disappearing, and that the mod isn't dead (or me either!).
is this alive?
It is.
There is no download page because the mod isn't finished.
Please release it ;_;
Oh and will the mod have support for Half-Life/Counter-Strike .mdl files as it says that you can customize the mod.
I'm just being really lazy ATM. And the mod needs *lots* of animation and codework before it can be released.
About Half-Life MDLs, (are you asking this because of the current DEagle model? :P) you can have them ingame, but you'd need to convert them to Max Payne format and animate them first (It's a bit painful, I know).
What the customization refers mainly to is files I'll be including in the mod which are quickly editable, along with my source files. If you really want to see a bigger change, however, you'll have to get your hands dirty... I know that description can be a little misleading :P
Hey, I noticed that your also working on a fps mod and I thought I could help you out a bit.Here is a piece of my config so you can try it.It should save you time in 3ds max while fixing alot of clipping aswell if you have any.
And awesome mod dude keep it up. Fr
MinimumBackPlaneDistance = 0.01;
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Is it Dead?
Hey, sorry all for disappearing, but I didn't have time to come around.
Unfortunately, I am unable to make progress at the time because of 3ds Max not wanting to work anymore. Argh.
I'm trying everything in my power to get this thing on the road again but I'm seeing little to no success. I'll try to keep this somewhat more updated.

Is The Full-Range Model Of Leadership Really A Full-Range Model
Free registration required
Executive Summary
A field study was conducted to compare the three meta-categories assessed in the Managerial Practices Survey (MPS) to the "Full-range" taxonomy assessed in the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Dyadic and group-level analyses found that subordinate job attitudes and boss rated managerial effectiveness were predicted better by the MPS meta-categories than by the MLQ meta-categories. Results also suggested that at least one of the three meta-categories from the MPS were more important in predicting each effectiveness outcome than any of the meta-categories from the MLQ. Implications germane to leadership theory and research are further discussed.

Juxtaposed against the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, the Foundation Louis Vuitton houses various gallery exhibition spaces, a restaurant, a bookstore,and an auditorium. The architectural construction exhibits icebergs of white blocks in various panels in collaboration with twelve grand sails made of glass. The incorporation of the glass material enables the Foundation Louis Vuitton a sensation of movement and reflection in relation to the natural setting of foliage - gardens, woods, and water. Similar to Impressionism, the reflection evolves with the changing light. Individuals may also climb the stairways under the glass to visit the roof-top exhibitions and gardens.
