Building New Home Help me Decide on Siding
This is a picture of our elevation. Ignore all the siding you see. Also, we have an 8ft X 42inch mahogany door. It is very simple. We are planning on vinyl windows with a dark bronze exterior finish. We also plan on a metal roof. Probably a medium to darker brown finish as you see in the inspiration photo.
My problem is what to choose for the siding of the house. At first we wanted all stone. As you will see in my inspiration photo. Then I began to think I want to also add some creamy colored stucco or white. I am not sure where to use the stucco and where to use the stone.
It is difficult to tell in the photo the three dimensional aspect of the elevation. The part that is all stone in the photo is the part of the house that sits out the farthest. The rest is recessed, some parts more than others. The far left of the house showing the stone almost up to the roofline is the farthest recessed (not including the farthest to the right, the garage which sits the farthest back.
Ok, hope I have not confused everyone too much.
So, what would you do? Where would you put the white stone vs the white stucco? Would use keep the stucco white or paint it a color? Would you use stucco at all or the stone only and vice versa. I am wide open to any and all ideas. I can't change the elevation plan now as we are already building.
BTW, we live in the Texas hill country (if that helps)
Here is my inspiration photo
Here is the elevation photo
Here is our lot
Gorgeous view you have!
Is that a wall in front? Or are they really short windows on the left?
Did you ask in the build a home forum? They would have good input there.
I'm not a fan of these "waterline" applications of different materials and prefer changes in siding to follow the architectural structure of the building. So it looks as if the material changes occurred as the building was being constructed over time.
So, for example, I would stucco the building and just use the stone around the front gable and entry way. In fact that's what we did...only we used siding on the rest.

Thanks so much Annie! Your house is beautiful! Helps to see a photo!
There are very. Small windows on the far left. It's our walk in closet. Hence, the high windows.
I did post in the building forum as well.
Thanks so much again. Building a home can make you crazy! ;)
Lovely view! I'm jealous, I love TX hill country style houses! Personally, I would do all stone if feasible, if not, then I would choose stucco as the secondary siding. I would definitely change the left side elevation to carry the same material all the way up. I think it looks too choppy stopping just under the windows.
I clicked on your elevation photo and I think I went into your photo book and so I snooped around a bit! Is that your pool and stone retaining wall in the backyard?
If so, and since I'm from Ohio and not an authority on hill country housing it's just my opinion, I'd try and get the exterior to match your inspiration photo as much as possible. I love the simplicity of the plain stone front with the metal roof. I think your wood door and bronze windows will look great with a smooth stone/stucco. Siding is more a midwest/northeast style in my mind.
I know the stone is probably more expensive, but stucco can be applied in a smoother finish - and I think that would look stunning as a backdrop to your view.
Yes Carol that is my pool and stone/retaining wall. It's a negative edge pool.
So, are you saying to mix stucco and the stone. Where would you use stone and where would you use the stucco? Thoughts on having stone at the bottom where there would be another material on top? I'm so confused as to what to do!
Love, love, love the house, and nothing is more appropriate for Texas hill country than the stone you are already planning to use. I would substitute stucco for the lap siding shown in your elevation drawing but keep the stone where already indicated. I'd also go all the way up with it on the left, unless framing the windows in an all stone facade is uber expensive....that's the only reason I can think of to stop the stone under those windows. If that is the reason, then stucco will look much better there than a horizontal material that pulls the roof down visually. Love the house and the setting is gorges!
Thanks Kswl! For some reason I do not like the stone on the lower half and then another material above it. I am not sure why. Lap is very common here but on very low budget houses. I think that is what is pulling me away from it. Silly, I know. The labor for the stone is super $$ for and we are already way over the budget. Just our land, the build up of 16 fit with stone and concrete and the fill for it all has cost a small fortune.
I need to make some calls to see the exact costs. What would you think of doing the large part that sticks out that is to the right of the front door in stone and then the left side with the weird tiny windows in all in stone and the rest in stucco?
I am so confused! So many decisions to make and my husband told me I can't spend this much time on each and every decision or we will never finish. I am not good at that. :(
The part on the right seems to be what you are unsure of. Can you think ahead to landscaping? I think that would help make a decision.
If you use shrubbery, it will be covered in whole or large part and adding stone wouldn't make a lot of difference (but in wet periods, you might have to clean the stucco more). If you use cactus, yucca and such, more will show -- and I think the stone will be appropriate. If you put in a water feature or sculpture of some kind, the stone might be distracting or could tie the house and a stone water feature.
It sounds like you are focused just on the siding issues -- look at it as part of a whole. You have great taste. You'll make a great decision.
I can't tell from the drawing if the area with the small windows is on the same plane as the recessed area with the tall windows. But it looks as though the architect wanted the stone to come up to the bottom of all front fenestration---even though on those small windows to the left it looks rather strange (to me!).
Do you have a rendering of the façade that you can post?
If not, I think the stone on the right side under those tall windows looks good, but I would adjust the height of the stone on the left to be lower, not all the way down as low as the stone on the right, but lower it in proportion to the size of the windows and area of wall. Just "eyeballing" it, I would say try a mock up of stone that comes up to the small windows and leaves a space between the top of the stone and the bottom of the window equal to the space between the windows themselves. That will help that mass make sense spatially. Can you do a rough mock up yourself? It won't be symmetrical, of course, but I think it will look more proportional. And I would use stucco the same color as the stone, just a bit darker or lighter in hue.
How about all stucco with flat quoins of stone and stone sills and lintels on the front windows? Like this but stucco in the field:
Traditional Exterior by London Photographers Joel Antunes photography
Those are very interesting ideas Pal. What a lovely home!
I did a super shoddy mock up of the house. Everything is as you see in in the photo, except I put stone up the entire wall on the left (which is quite recessed and sits back from the rest of the house.
What do you think?
Thanks for posting the plan, aktillery. I have to be honest, I do not like the left side with the small windows all in stone and the other side all in stucco. It makes the house look a bit jointed. I think for a consistent look across the front, understanding that the masses are not all in the same plane, that you need SOME stone on/ in each area.
Could you stucco both the windowed areas and do a raised stone planter in front of both of them? Then you have (from the rendering) a central mass of stone, flanked by two stucco wings (with stone planters in front) and those windowed stucco areas are then flanked by further recessed areas of stone.
Here is the elevation of a "modern ranch house" in Horseshoe Bay. It has a mixture of stone and siding that might give you some ideas:
Here is a link that might be useful: Rauser Design
This is how I would place the stone/stucco. Give it the "this part was added later" look by making the far right and far left/back stucco. You could also do the entire back in stucco but I prefer stone when getting an up-close look at the siding like under porches and front entryways. Stone is just prettier and more interesting to look at than stucco.
I was just messing around with the elevation and this is what I came up with. I think stucco all the way to the ground on the right/back part will look good but the left side is just too long with stucco alone. It looked bare so I added stone at the bottom but not going all the way up to the windows.
Your most recent mockup (aktillery) looks far more balanced to me than anything so far... I like it!
I'm generally a fan of the "added later" look, but for some reason it is harder to sell that with stucco. If you're going to do some of the massing in all one material per magda's post I would do 8" or 10" lap siding painted the same color as the stone.
Sorry, I still don't like the waterline. It seems to make th house look even shorter and squatter as it splits the entire facade. And as in the sketch above, it really makes the asymmetry of the windows on the 2 sides stand out even more as one penetrates the stone and the other does not.
The quoin idea is interesting, though I associate it with more of a European look vs. this house I think of as more of a CA or SW ranch style.
It is important (to me, anyway) that the divisions between materials look like they make structural sense. This is what Magdalena is working on with the different colors on the perimeters of the floor plan. A couple of the other versions of the elevation are starting to have an alternating vertical stripe sort of appearance, which I don't think you want.
I think the waterline or horizon line of stone, especially at different heights on the same facade, where it's topped by another material is almost always a mistake because it doesn't really reflect masonry construction. If it comes up higher than a foundation level but not all the way to the top of the first floor, it doesn't reflect how a stone building would be built so it tends to scream applique.
"If it comes up higher than a foundation level but not all the way to the top of the first floor, it doesn't reflect how a stone building would be built so it tends to scream applique. "
That's true!
Do you have an objection to hardiplank siding when it is not combined on the same wall as the stone? I think your mock up posted at 18:27 would look good with the left side ALL in plank siding for that "added on over time" look.
The stone "waterline" with stucco on top is very typical in Tx Hill Country homes. Top architectural groups don't do it but it's ubiquitous so it certainly wouldn't look strange. Heck, 95% of the homes in my neighborhood have this feature.
However, I would say that if Aktillery is going for a more modern, clean look - don't do the "waterline." The problem is that stucco looks kind of funny on it's own. It looks like it needs "grounding." But siding (shiplap or board and batten) does not and looks fine on it's own.
Aktillery, I urge you to take another look at board and batten. It really isn't just for "lower-end" homes anymore. It has become a wonderful alternative for modern Tx HC homes.
I'll be the dissenter and say use all stucco or all stone, don't combine them, since you still have a fairly traditional shape to the house. My personal preference.
In my opinion a material mix along the lines of what you seem to be thinking works better on a more contemporary house (sort of like colorblocking). In our neck of the woods, folks do that with stucco and redwood siding.
Are you using the garage as a workshop? Just curious as to the reason for the large windows there.
I like MagdalenaLee's 19:41 posting.
To me, plain stucco looks unfinished and low-end; but I think you are saying that, to you, any sort of siding looks low-end? So it may be a regional thing.
Also, I think mixing materials makes more sense when you are going for an added on look, and entire wings are a new material ... otherwise all stone.
This looks like the look the designer was going for.

This version is a little more SW. Note how the stone is applied to structural areas without a waterline.

Here is a more contemporary home but with the stone applied structurally.
Contemporary Exterior by Austin Architects & Building Designers James D. LaRue Architects
This is what I don't like...a stone facade that is clearly just facade as it is only on the front and not on the sides...
Traditional Exterior by Libertyville Fireplaces North Star Stone
I like MagdalenaLee's board and batten images. I also think a stone sitting wall in front of a stucco area as kswl suggested would be a nice alternative to the high water tables.
I think palimpsest's quoins idea is great but in practice might be somewhat difficult to execute well. A great mason could make it lovely. A mediocre mason easily might make a hot mess. Also might be a bit dissonant with the roof shape and standing seam metal?
Gosh I am so irritated. I had posted a book and it never posted here.
So, again, thanks Pal for the mockup and ideas.
Thank you mag for the lovely mockup with the board and batten. It is pretty.
Annie, I love some of the photos you posted. Great inspirations.
Oak and mtn, thanks for taking the time to weigh in!
kswl, I really appreciate your time and ideas.
You guys are great! That is why I love GW, you get so many ideas that you couldn't find as quickly anywhere else!
Here is a mock up of what I think I like the best. We will have trees, shrubs and plants in the front and I think that will help break things up immensely. I like the all brick on the wall with the tiny windows that are way up the wall the best. It seems to provide the most interest for that unusual wall. Maybe the right side of the house can appear to be added on over time.
So, here we go.
One more thing, the stone and stucco will be creamy white, not really depicted well in my mockup. Also, it is hard to see the three dimensional side of things. I know my plants look super choppy and square as I am doing this in powerpoint and am no expert. ;)
The last version looks like 2 different houses butted up against each other...the left more CA modern and the right more trad'l. Remember you want your front entrance to be most important so I'd definitely stone that and the gable end. Then make the rest the other material you like.
Well I prefer the stucco too, but I like this placement of the stone better in this last shot. Did you have a pic of the stone stucco combo placed like the one above?
Thanks Annie! Here you goâ¦.
I wonder if it would look odd to have the parts of the house that are not recessed in stucco and the parts that are (the right and left side) in stone? Would that be odd? I think it is the only thing I have yet to try!
Ok everyone this is IT. I have decided. Just wanted to share. I am sure some of you will not like it. But, I am done with working this out. On to MANY other decisions.
Thank you ALL so much for helping me work through this. What is the funniest part is this is the exact rendering my architect gave me in the first place.
artkillery, you changed the peak of the gable between your last post and the one at 9:13 am. If the second post is correct, I would change back to having the front gable in stucco and the two flanking masses all in stone. The reason is that if the gable does not reach very high, stone all the way up may make it look heavy and squat. I would ask about the roof pitch on that gable and only use the heavier material if it is higher, not lower. JMO!
(But, I think whatever you do the house will look marvelous, we tend to obsess over the details here :)

Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
Look up this project on the website of its architects ACXT and you will find that it goes by the rather understated name of 242 Affordable Housing Units in Salburúa (Salburúa being a neighborhood in the Basque city of Vitoria-Gasteiz). In many ways the downplaying of the name is in keeping with ACXT's quiet approaches to sustainable design. Though there may be no obvious green bells and whistles such as wind turbines or photovoltaics, passive architectural methods combined with on-site generation contribute to what ACXT claims is a "considerable reduction" in the building's carbon dioxide emissions.

The Danish company Dantherm Power has recently announced its plans to sell solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) plants as environmentally-friendly power stations for private homes. Even though the project is only in its infantile stages, the company predicts the now bulky prototype will evolve over the next few years as the green alternative to power generators, or act as a buffer for buildings that are powered by renewable but intermittent energy sources such as wind or solar.

Comma or Question Mark?
Photographed yesterday on a 'Triple Crown' Blackberry:
This is my first-ever spotting of an angled butterfly--I'm so thrilled!
I'm pretty sure I see the particular extra marking that question marks have that commas lack, so it would be a summer form question mark.
I've raised nearly 20 caterpillars lately, and about 13 or 14 of them have emerged, including one that's "hanging out" in the cage on my porch right now. They're beautiful butterflies and SO easy to raise!
It's hard for me to describe it to you, seedmoney, especially since your QM is faded, but question marks have an extra black marking near the tip of their wings that commas don't have. The Kaufman field guide points to it in the pictures, and I imagine other butterfly field guides do also. You'd need to look at the pictures there or maybe there are some on the internet that would show the mark.
In my area, they like hops vines and false nettles/Boehmeria cylindrica. Unfortunately, my hops vines aren't growing this year, they're still pitifully small, but the false nettles are really thriving, big and still growing. False nettles are also the principle host for red admirals here, so they do double duty, making them a great host plant! Question marks are known to also use many other members of the Urticales order in the plant family, like elms, stinging nettles, and pellitory. In many areas, they visit rotting fruit, but they've never visited mine - I just get flies! :(
If you plant whichever of their host plants do best in your area, you'll see them from time to time. Unfortunately, they don't visit flowers like most butterflies, but you'll still see them here and there.
I have had a ton of Question Marks this spring...more than I've ever seen before! They like my fruit feeder, my rocks I have around my fire pit, the grass, & even my larkspur flowers.
Now that I look at these pictures I'm wondering if this last picture on the larkspur is actually a comma???
Thanks Sherry & Sandy...I think the commas are also a little smaller than the ?s but the picture on the larkspur wasn't clear.
Seedmoney...I'm not sure what the ?s use here locally for a host plant but they have been in abundance since early spring...but are now missing for the most part. Maybe once the next generation ecloses...I'll see them again!

The GOP's Drug-Testing Dragnet
"It's like learning that somebody drank beer three days ago," says Bill Piper, director of national affairs with the Drug Policy Alliance. "What's that going to say about how functional they are at work today? It's unscientific and discriminatory."
But the Reagan administration saw drug tests as essential for cracking down on a population largely outside the reach of law enforcement: people smoking pot in the privacy of their own homes. "Because anyone using drugs stands a very good chance of being discovered, with disqualification from employment as a possible consequence, many will decide that the price of using drugs is just too high," read a 1989 White House report.
In the decades since, drug-testing companies have marketed urine tests as a wise investment for all employers. They claim that any drug user is a less productive worker, and more likely to cause workplace accidents, show up late for work or simply quit. Such claims persist despite a 1994 review, by the National Academy of Sciences, of all the independent research published on workplace drug testing, which found little support to back up those claims.
Indeed, one study of employers in the high-tech sector found that drug testing "reduced rather than enhanced productivity." Performance-based tests, researchers found, are far more effective at assessing a worker's ability to perform safety-sensitive jobs than drug testing. Unlike urine tests, these tests detect drug impairment and a host of other factors (fatigue, stress, alcohol) far more likely to compromise a worker's concentration than past marijuana use.
Nevertheless, the escalation of the drug war would prove more powerful than the evidence that undermined it, producing a powerful coalition of government and private industry players determined to convince employers of the wisdom of monitoring their workers' bladders.
* * *
One of the entrepreneurs drawn to the burgeoning drug-testing industry was Elaine Taulé. A longtime DATIA board member, she says she got into the business because she wanted to test her own sons. When she told this to the staff of National Health Laboratories, a major drug-testing lab, in 1987, they were incredulous. "The lab just sort of looked at me and said, 'What! Do you really think your 17-year-old is going to pee in a cup?'" But Taulé was insistent. "If I say, 'It's either your urine or your car keys,' I may get his urine," she said. She went on to found her own drug-testing business, NMS Management Services, in 1989.
Taulé's timing was impeccable. Around the time she started testing her sons, other, much larger players were entering the field, including the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Hoffmann-La Roche, the manufacturer of Valium and a range of popular sleeping pills. The company established one of the first major drug-testing labs in America and won an early urine-testing contract with the Pentagon, leading to $300 million in annual sales by 1987. The following year, Hoffmann-La Roche stepped up its sales efforts with the launch of a major PR and lobbying campaign to "mobilize corporate America to confront the illicit drug problem in their workplaces." The drug manufacturer called its new campaign "Corporate Initiatives for a Drug-Free Workplace."
Before long, with the help of a New Jersey–based lawyer named David Evans, Hoffmann-La Roche was organizing workshops around the country to convince employers to set up drug-testing programs. In an interview with The Nation, Evans likened his role to that of "a doctor coming in to talk about how to set up a medical device." During that first campaign, 1,000 employers signed up. "There's clearly a momentum here," gushed Irwin Lerner, then the drug company's president, at the campaign's launch in 1988. "I think we've tapped a chord among corporate America."
The sleeping pill manufacturer's enthusiasm evidently impressed Reagan himself, who delivered a keynote address at the launch of Hoffmann-La Roche's Corporate Initiatives campaign. Reagan praised the company for making "it clear that not only are drug users not part of the 'in crowd,' but unless they quit taking illegal drugs they'll be part of the out-of-work crowd."

I'd like to make hoverable tooltips for x-axis markings, I used basically the same code in this demo.
Imagine the text next to the vertical lines hidden, and when you mouse over the markings, the text were to show up. That's basically what I am trying to accomplish. I have tried using the
flothover event but markings don't show up in those. Is there a plugin or something that performs a similar action?

School Funding
Since legislators passed the Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act (also known as the Thornton Plan) in 2002, Maryland has provided historic levels of aid to its public schools—allowing all 24 of its school systems to raise achievement levels for all groups of students and helping the state's education system become one of the best in the nation.
To continue this success, we need to stand up for our students by fully funding Thornton and the Geographic Cost of Education Index. As educators, we know that there is a direct connection between adequate funding for our schools and student achievement.
Gov. Hogan's proposed $144 million in cuts to school funding for FY16 challenge the continued success of our schools, which are at the foundation of what makes Maryland attractive to businesses and families. These cuts are proposed to reoccur and compound to nearly $600 million in cuts over the next four years, forcing students and schools to do more with less. To find out how Gov. Hogan's cuts affect your local schools and students, visit dontshortchangemaryland.com. While on the site, you can email your representatives in Annapolis and urge them to restore Gov. Hogan's cuts.
"Larry Hogan campaigned on the need to change Maryland, but his budget shortchanges Maryland's students and schools," said MSEA President Betty Weller. "Rather than meeting growing challenges, Gov. Hogan's budget will lead to overcrowded classrooms, inadequate technology, and cuts to instructional materials, programs, and positions. This is not a 'no-layoffs' budget; these cuts will mean fewer teachers and fewer support staff in our schools. We stand ready to work with Gov. Hogan and the General Assembly to protect the funding in the budget and reverse these harmful budget cuts."
Other funding priorities
We support the state keeping its promise to educators by making both the full actuarial required pension contribution and supplemental payments. In the capital budget, MSEA supports expanded school construction funding to address the unmet needs for building and improving safe, modern facilities across the state. We also oppose efforts to water down the 2012 maintenance of effort improvements that protect the delicate partnership between the state and local governments to fund our schools.
It's also time to reassess the adequacy and equity of how we fund our schools. Although the Thornton plan has become a national model for school financing, it's now 13 years old. It's time to review and establish the investment necessary to fund the programs and student population of today, not a decade ago.
MSEA supports legislation to create the Thornton 2 Commission to ensure that there is adequate funding across the state. The commission would study education funding, the recruitment and retention of educators, appropriate facilities, and student achievement to understand the many factors and mandates that have made an impact on education since the passage of Thornton in 2002, including the current reform issues—Common Core State Standards, evaluations, and testing—that require additional costs to implement effectively.
School funding: the results
In Maryland, the investment in our students continues to pay great dividends. Thanks to the commitment of elected officials and the hard work of educators, we've seen improvements in student achievement and our public school system that are the envy of the rest of the country. These accomplishments include:
- For years, Maryland's public schools have been ranked among the best in the country by Education Week, the nation's top education newspaper. Following an unprecedented five years in a row as the #1 school system in America, Maryland's schools were ranked #3 in 2015.

Educator Mobilization Leads to Momentum on School Funding Restoration
Starting with a radio advertising campaign and online petition drive in January, and continuing with the launch of DontShortchangeMaryland.com in early February, the Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) and its members have led a session-long campaign to protect the investment in Maryland schools and restore the education cuts proposed by Gov. Hogan.
Educators Urge Passage of House Budget Plan
The House Appropriations Committee's plan will restore over 90% of these cuts to our schools—ensuring continued progress for our students—while protecting retirement security for educators. We urge the General Assembly to reject Gov. Hogan's plan and support this better budget for Maryland.
Gov. Hogan's State of the State
As if cutting Maryland's schools by $144 million next year isn't enough, Gov. Hogan has now decided to support policies that would further harm our world-class public education system.
MSEA Statement on Gov. Hogan's Budget
Larry Hogan campaigned on the need to change Maryland, but his budget shortchanges Maryland's students and schools. Gov. Hogan's education cuts threaten the progress of our top-notch public schools, which are at the heart of what makes Maryland attractive to businesses and families. Gov. Hogan's $143 million in immediate school funding cuts—which are proposed to reoccur and compound to nearly $600 million in cuts over the next four years—would force students and schools to do more with less.
MSEA Launches School Funding Radio Campaign and Petition Drive
MSEA is launching a radio campaign and petition drive calling on the new governor and General Assembly to continue the strong support and forward-thinking investments in public education that have helped make Maryland's schools and students so successful.

Cushion Storage Bag-48" x 16" 75 75
Excellent cushion cover Highly recommend these covers. Good quality And priced right. October 15, 2011
Winter cushion storage I ordered the smaller bag and it holds all the cushions I have. It is a very good size and easy to fill and store for the winter. Should keep everything clean until needed in the Spring. October 24, 2011
Great Bags These bags are perfect and look good. The bags make cushion storage neat and easy. Would recommend. November 9, 2011
Value of this product is outstanding I was so happy when the cushion bag arrived sooner than the 'expected' arrival. It came last week--cushions are now zipped up, covered and in the garage. No more garbage bags that sipped and ripped. Four cushions fit nicely and the handles are sturdy. No more dreading this end of summer chore thanks to a great product. November 12, 2011

Answer:Thank you for your question.
Each can hold a certain amount of cushions but it all depends on what sizes you are wanting to place in the bags. As an example, the large could hold up to 6 chaise lounge cushions in addition to 2-4 throw pillows where as the smaller storage bag can hold up to 4 chaise lounge cushions and a couple seat pads. again it would vary depending on the size of the items going in the bag. It is best to measure a stack of what you are looking to store and then compare that to the size of the bags offered.

Answer:Thank you for your question.
The storage bags as shown we found are not the most updated improved storage bags we sell and produce. The images are being swamped out once they become available. The bags we do sell have the same styling that is with the beige all over color and moss brown stripe as shown currently but now with a stronger and wider zipper, reinforced handles and a hooded "one side" mesh vent. We apologize for not having the correct image, but do appreciate your question which triggered us to make sure this was looked into to make the correction.

I have an app where users can specify regular expressions in a number of places. These are used while running the app to check if text (e.g. URLs and HTML) matches the regexes. Often the users want to be able to say where the text matches ABC and does not match XYZ. To make it easy for them to do this I am thinking of extending regular expression syntax within my app with a way to say 'and does not contain pattern'. Any suggestions on a good way to do this?
My app is written in C# .NET 3.5.
My plan (before I got the awesome answers to this question...)
Currently I'm thinking of using the ¬ character: anything before the ¬ character is a normal regular expression, anything after the ¬ character is a regular expression that can not match in the text to be tested.
So I might use some regexes like this (contrived) example:
on (this|that|these) day(s)?¬(every|all) day(s) ?
Which for example would match 'on this day the man said...' but would not match 'on this day and every day after there will be ...'.
In my code that processes the regex I'll simply split out the two parts of the regex and process them separately, e.g.:
public bool IsMatchExtended(string textToTest, string extendedRegex)
int notPosition = extendedRegex.IndexOf('¬');
// Just a normal regex:
if (notPosition==-1)
return Regex.IsMatch(textToTest, extendedRegex);
// Use a positive (normal) regex and a negative one
string positiveRegex = extendedRegex.Substring(0, notPosition);
string negativeRegex = extendedRegex.Substring(notPosition + 1, extendedRegex.Length - notPosition - 1);
return Regex.IsMatch(textToTest, positiveRegex) && !Regex.IsMatch(textToTest, negativeRegex);
Any suggestions on a better way to implement such an extension? I'd need to be slightly cleverer about splitting the string on the ¬ character to allow for it to be escaped, so wouldn't just use the simple Substring() splitting above. Anything else to consider?
Alternative plan
In writing this question I also came across this answer which suggests using something like this:
^(?=(?:(?!negative pattern).)*$).*?positive pattern
So I could just advise people to use a pattern like, instead of my original plan, when they want to NOT match certain text.
Would that do the equivalent of my original plan? I think it's quite an expensive way to do it peformance-wise, and since I'm sometimes parsing large html documents this might be an issue, whereas I suppose my original plan would be more performant. Any thoughts (besides the obvious: 'try both and measure them!')?
Possibly pertinent for performance: sometimes there will be several 'words' or a more complex regex that can not be in the text, like (every|all) in my example above but with a few more variations.
I know my original approach seems weird, e.g. why not just have two regexes!? But in my particular application administrators provide the regular expressions and it would be rather difficult to give them the ability to provide two regular expressions everywhere they can currently provide one. Much easier in this case to have a syntax for NOT - just trust me on that point.
I have an app that lets administrators define regular expressions at various configuration points. The regular expressions are just used to check if text or URLs match a certain pattern; replacements aren't made and capture groups aren't used. However, often they would like to specify a pattern that says 'where ABC is not in the text'. It's notoriously difficult to do NOT matching in regular expressions, so the usual way is to have two regular expressions: one to specify a pattern that must be matched and one to specify a pattern that must not be matched. If the first is matched and the second is not then the text does match. In my application it would be a lot of work to add the ability to have a second regular expression at each place users can provide one now, so I would like to extend regular expression syntax with a way to say 'and does not contain pattern'.

Arizona: Turning Blue for Kerry?
The Republicans, meanwhile, are not about to quietly cede the state to the Democrats. Campaign appearances by both Bush and Cheney have brought out big and enthusiastic crowds, if not quite as large as Kerry's, and the Republicans also benefit from a more mature and better-oiled statewide organization. Republicans not only retain the upper hand in rural and ranching areas but also draw support from some of the newly arrived suburban high-tech transplants. Among the state's large veteran and retired population they can also fight the Democrats mano a mano.
Nor is the GOP ceding the Latino vote. Republicans claim 23,000 volunteers in Arizona. "Fifteen percent of those are Latinos," says GOP campaign consultant Rubén Alvarez. Stressing, as Democrats agree, that Latinos are not a homogeneous voting bloc, Alvarez says he's "confident" that Bush can take the plus-35 percent of the Latino vote he needs to win "because here in Arizona we have a big increase in Latino small businessmen who agree not only with the President's economic policies but also with his stand for traditional family values." Bush will also attract the Latino vote, Alvarez says, because "after eight years of no discussion at all, the President has elevated the debate on immigration."
But if there's one unpredictable wild card in the coming Arizona electoral shootout, it is, precisely, the issue of illegal immigration, as manifested in a Prop 187-like anti-immigrant measure on the November ballot. Ever since 1994, when the Clinton Administration began clamping down on the western and eastern extremes of the southern border, prompting desperate crossings through the brutal Arizona desert, this state has become the epicenter of the illegal immigration crisis. Thousands of undocumented migrants stream into Arizona on a daily basis. While thousands are apprehended, and some die in the crossing, equal numbers get through, swamping health and other state services.
Reaction to the crisis has been mixed. Republican Senator John McCain has joined with Democrats to propose a legalization process--a measure spurned by the GOP Congressional leadership. On the ground level, numerous citizen and church groups run active relief programs, while xenophobic, rancher-based "militias" attempt to stop illegal crossings. The ballot measure, sponsored by a group called Protect Arizona Now (PAN), would require Arizonans to show proof of residence or citizenship when using public agencies. The Arizona Republican Party, fully cognizant that a Latino backlash against California's Prop 187 nearly wiped out that state's GOP, opposes the measure. But the Democrats, aware that some 40 percent of Latinos support it, won't take an official position against it. While he was in Arizona, Kerry punted on the issue, saying it's the sort of decision he would leave to the states. Says one Democratic consultant, "Lots of Mexican-Americans were either born here or say, 'Hey, I earned my stay here. So the next guy who comes along also has to. No free rides.'" No one is willing to guess which segment of the electorate will be most energized by the PAN initiative.
One possible silver lining for Democrats, however, could emerge from the immigration storm: a "spoiler" problem for Bush. Numerous Arizona conservatives were outraged when the President announced earlier this year that he would push for a guest-worker legalization program. Though the White House has, at least for now, scuttled the initiative, nativist resentment still simmers against Bush along the southern border. Some anti-immigration activists have started an Internet campaign, gathering pledges from angry conservatives that instead of voting for Bush in November they will write in the name of Colorado Representative Tommy Tancredo, a border crackdown advocate. As of August, a leading anti-immigration group claimed to have more than 30,000 pledges--most of them from Arizona.
The final uncertain twist in Arizona is the mail-in ballot. With voting allowed as early as September 30, young Democratic canvassers are relentlessly working their precinct lists, trying to sew up pledges to vote for Kerry. Their preferred tool is the voting-by-mail program. "And after what happened in Florida in 2000, people here are really going to use that mail-in ballot," says Mario Diaz, a Kerry consultant who ran the nominee's victorious Arizona primary campaign. The final Bush-Kerry debate is scheduled to take place on October 13 at Arizona State University, in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe. "The debate will coincide with a peak in voting by mail," Diaz says. "And the entire state will be watching every word."

After throwing Mrs. Tuggle's evil glass eye into the creek, Lynn and her best friend, Mouse, anticipate a soothing summer. But when Lynn notices some strange-looking purple plants growing down by the creek, she begins to worry. Is she imagining it, or are the plants sprouting right near where she threw the eye?
What's worse is that some girls from school may be starting their own coven of witches -- and Mouse might be getting sucked in!
Does Mrs. Tuggle have unfinished business with them? And if so, can Lynn fight her evil again?

I really like it! I like it so much that I am here to ask if there is any way I could listen to this music without playing the map? I would really like to see it on the official SoundCloud account, if that is possible. It would be nice to have more music uploaded onto that account, especially music that is longer than 1-2 minutes. Please! Music is just amazing.
I remember when Dominion was released I recorded a game I played and muted everything except the music just so I can have it on repeat. I just think it would be a really good idea to have all the wonderful music accessible for us to enjoy.
I too would like to have access to this.
I hope it's possible and that they can do it for us. But I guess it might be hard for them to have an actual recording of the song without the loops and such. It's really good though! I love the.. chorus? I believe it is. It's the really good part, also played during Victory. I would play the map at 3 fps just to hear the music haha.

Is there a way to make this whitespace offset independent from the length of the legend? cheers, steve -- When danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

Diane Keaton attended last night's New York premiere of her new movie, Morning Glory, wearing a short black leather dress with black tights and pumps. She "mom"-ed up the dress by layering a black turtleneck underneath it and topping things off with a pair of bookish-looking glasses. Best of all, her turtleneck has thumb-holes!
Do you think Diane's leather minidress looks too young for her, or does she pull it off?

"Great book. Very informative and keeps you engaged"
I would recommend this book to any intermediate stock or options trader curious about the influences of computer and technology development throughout the past two decades. This book is very informative and keeps the reader engaged through a detailed description of the various people who ultimately changed modern day trading. I would not recommend this book to anyone not interested in the stock and options market.
All in all, the information in this book will astound you as to the truth of the modern day stock market and how individual players are at a significant disadvantage to the institutional and automated players.

I may be a Texan but I can't stand that school and that act just cemented my feelings even more....Geaux Tigers!!!
The University of Alabama doesn't play around when it comes to its trademark.No, not even when a local bakery, who are huge supporters of the Crimson Tide, decides to create elephant-shaped cookies with a script "A" on them. Seriously? Yeah, seriously.From The Big Lead:Mary's Cake and Pastries received a cease and desist letter, and a request for documentation of how many $1.75 cookies had been sold so Alabama and CLC could collect damages.Wait, what?The modest bakery wasn't the only party Alabama and the Collegiate Licensing Company went after, though. They also spent more than $1.4 million on a failed lawsuit against artist Daniel Moore for depicting the Alabama uniform in artwork. Oh, and the school is also trying to assert control over the houndstooth patter, because legendary coach Bear Bryant used to wear it.The school has since apologized after the news became public. It's probably too little and too late at this point because the damage has already been done.
Typical big college tactics. Just earlier this year, my old high school, the Cedar Hill Longhorns, had to re-configure their logo because the University of TeaSippers (Texas) sent them a cease and dissist or be hit with an infringement lawsuit.
I may be a Texan but I can't stand that school and that act just cemented my feelings even more....Geaux Tigers!!!
Thank You Jon Solomon, writer for AL.com for putting this very insidious matter into the light for all to see. Unlike the Daniel Moore fight, the attacks on the LETTERMEN of the IRON BOWL and LETTERMEN of the SEC have included extortion, cyber-bullying, slander, personal attacks and character assassination. Stay tuned.

Surgery to replace an aortic valve is done for aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. During this surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. The valve replacement is typically an open-heart surgery.
A minimally invasive method to replace the aortic valve may be an option for some people. These methods include minimally invasive surgery or a catheter procedure.
During open-heart valve surgery, the doctor makes a large incision in the chest. Blood is circulated outside of the body through a machine to add oxygen to it (cardiopulmonary bypass or heart-lung machine). The heart may be cooled to slow or stop the heartbeat so that the heart is protected from damage while surgery is done to replace the valve with an artificial valve.
The artificial valve might be mechanical (made of man-made substances). Others are made out of animal tissue, often from a pig.
More information
You will recover in the hospital until you are healthy enough to go home. Depending on your overall health, you will likely go home a few days after surgery.
Surgery will likely involve a long recovery over several weeks. You will probably need to take 4 to 12 weeks off from work. It depends on the type of work you do and how you feel. In some cases, full recovery may take several months.
If your chronic regurgitation is getting worse and you have symptoms, you will likely have surgery. You might have surgery before you get symptoms, especially if your regurgitation is getting worse. If you have acute regurgitation, surgery will likely be done right away.
For help with this decision, see Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Deciding About Surgery.
If you have symptoms of aortic valve stenosis, your doctor will likely suggest surgery to replace the valve. Most people who do not have symptoms do not need the valve replaced.
For help with this decision, see:
Valve replacement surgery is the only cure for aortic valve regurgitation. It helps relieve symptoms and prevent heart failure. And it helps people live longer.1
Valve replacement surgery is the only effective treatment for people who have severe aortic valve stenosis with symptoms.1 If you don't have surgery after you start having symptoms, you may die suddenly or develop heart failure. Surgery can help you have a more normal life span.
Valve replacement surgery has a high rate of success and a low risk of causing other problems if you are otherwise healthy. Although most people have successful outcomes, there is a risk of death and serious problems during surgery. Valve replacement surgery is high-risk for people who have a failing left ventricle and who have had a heart attack. About 5 or less out of 100 people who have valve surgery die.2
If you have an aortic valve regurgitation or stenosis and have symptoms, the risks of not replacing the valve are greater than the risks of surgery unless you have other health problems that make surgery too dangerous.
Even if valve replacement surgery is a success, you may have problems after surgery, such as:
If you decide to have surgery, you and your doctor will decide which type of valve is right for you.

MISERY 2.1.1 Patch (2.1 -> 2.1.1)Jun 29, 2014 Patch 51 comments
Patch 2.1.1 for MISERY 2.1. This mod production is a hybrid of various modders work in a global teamwork. MISERY is neither the best mod in the world...
19 comments by N.Aaroe on Dec 3rd, 2014
FAQ: What happened on the day of release of MISERY 2?
NICOLAI: You remember this day (March 27)? We had planned for this day in such a long time.
Everything was perfectly set up and many MDT members had synchronized our clocks to monitor and support the publishing of the mod. Within the first minute 10,000 downloads were commenced and our servers broke down. Even the ModDB website could not fully support the huge amount of data traffic and our uploads got screwed again and again.
The comments section on ModDB went bananas and that whole day turned into a frustrating mess, because of the downloads that just kept piling up why the minute.
I even utilized my personal Microsoft Drive account to be able to distribute the heavy mod. However, this instantly in Microsoft locking all of my accounts, emails included, due to 'excessive and violating data traffic'. How's that for tying my hands on the day of release, right? We even posted a live feed of photos showing our rigs uploading the mod in different ways and on different servers. But enough about that. It all turned out fine the day after and our tertiary plans worked out in the end.
FAQ: How many people have downloaded the MISERY mod?
NICOLAI: Currently it's downloaded a little more than 600,000 times, but that's only the numbers that we can keep track off. This quantity of MISERY gamers result in a huge amount of emails, ideas and questions in our mail boxes almost daily. We read and appreciate every single comment, every email and every letter, but we fail at replying to them all. We've set up auto-replies to our main email to let everyone know that we got the messages. Unfortunately our mail servers are also attracting lots of spam mails, resulting in us having to disable the whole 'contact page' on the site.
FAQ: How was the year 2014 for the MISERY mod team?
NICOLAI: Like a giant roller coaster. Big things were accomplished, not only technically, but also personally. MDT grew into a large team with a good handful of people devoting many hours on a daily basis to expand and deepen the mod contents. Some of us have met and formed real life friendships. MISERY 2 got released for good and for worse. One thing I've learned is that a mod of these proportions will never satisfy anyone.
2014 is also the year where we rewarded our mod with its own official website.
We felt a need for this in order to present and deliver the mod exactly how we feel like. Some members got married, others had kids, while others quit their jobs to pursue a more focused effort to enter the gaming industry.
FAQ: Does it change anything to win an award?
NICOLAI: It does. It is hugely motivating to see a result of your efforts. We all do this in our spare time and for no financial perspectives whatsoever. There are so many perks beside building the game of our dreams for the sake of our own entertainment. It's the feedback, the critique and the sparring with our audience that keep our wheels spinning. That's why we are even here to begin with.
Having the mod rewarded with an award is a huge thing for a global team. It 'connects' the members and helps boosting the morale of a group, significantly.
FAQ: Do you receive many donations?
NICOLAI: No, none. Websites, Facebook, technical support, VK and the modding itself is all fueled by raw motivation and passion. Donations are against the ethics of STALKER modding, and violate the IP and license of GSC. We have much respect for these guys and consider ourselves guardians of the STALKER franchise.
There are some who consider it a 'donation to MDT' to be pre-ordering our newest game project, The Seed, and for that we are truly grateful. It's an honor to experience such mindset and we shall honor it by making a unique deep, and interesting game.
FAQ: Did you have plans for features that never went into the mod?
NICOLAI: Oh yes, many! People only see what we chose to include in the mod. We have a long list of features that was barely tested. There are so many things to do for this game and ultimately we had to choose some of them and leave the rest be. With the size of our team new ideas were generated daily and we knew that we had to stop at some point to actually wrap it up and share it with our community.
FAQ: How did your heated clash with West Games (AREAL) end?
NICOLAI: It didn't. They are doing their thing, and we are minding our own business.
What's said is said and we will see what the future holds.
FAQ: What is the current status of MDT?
NICOLAI: Some members are taking a well earned break, while others are polishing on the MISERY mod whenever their spare time allows. We stay in touch in our forum and discuss relevant news and topics on a frequent basis. Damjan and I went 'all in' on The Seed project, where we are passionately hard a work every single day to form a new gaming experience. We are all enjoying a very active community and motivating karma surrounding our team and projects in general. We are honored and humble to be able to take on these modding and game development endeavors.
FAQ: Will there ever be a MISERY 3 with new maps and quests?
NICOLAI: I cannot promise such a thing, neither can I rule out the idea.
MISERY grew from non-existent to what it is today in a few years and we are still a young team.
Our team got organized this year and the scale of the MSIERY 2 project really needed that. Now it is apparent who's in charge of translations, bug fixing, pr, and game balancing, so we have our resources well lined up like a small indie team.
You could say that we're an effective team, within the boundaries and framework of our adult spare time and real life obligations. Maybe some other modding team will suddenly contact us with an interest in bringing the MISERY mod further. We (MDT) will remain open and engaged within the community and I have a feeling that it will stay that way for many years to come.

Check out the facebook page for teaser.
I have a question about something, it's about the mission "Following Grouse", on there, the bloodsuckers are awake!, there are like 5 of them or more, WHY?!!! the game is already hard, punishing, and good of course but this is a survival mod... and for some reason, Grouse doesn't even bother to get rid of them, he doesn't use his weapon, it's really frustrating. Is this mission bugged or what? It has to be bugged.
There is no bug. Are you crouching as you follow him through? If not you are making too much noise and waking them up. The only other thing that will cause all kinds of irregular hiccups in game is using quick or auto saves. They will corrupt your save games and break your game. The only solution to that is to reload to before you ever used a quick or autosave to reload your game from. Disable autosave in main menu configs and delete any that are still created when changing map.
Not sure what you mean, cause Misery is build upon AN 3.01, so there's no need for "merging" procedure, just install it over Misery and it will be 100% compatible and will change the ground and vegetation accordingly. Just backup the all.spawn like I said before. I'm myself running the AN3 autumn theme over Misery and it looks and works great.
Damn it you're right! I made some dumb mistakes starting from downloading wrong version of AN, didn't have much time to look into it yesterday. Thanks for help , everything works great - althought it's still not what I'm looking for,but close enough ;)
Hi , I wanted to ask about the Green Zone addon that was mentioned some time ago. Do you guys still plan to make it? The standard Misery look is excellent and it matches S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s atmosphere but I think that idea for more alive landscape was great. Also I'm looking forward to the next update , to start a new adventure (been checking the FB page for months^^). Good job guys , keep it up and good luck with making The Seed , i think it's going to be a great game ;)
Are you talking about this? Moddb.com I don't think it was the Misery Team working on it.
Nope - I'm talking about an addon for Misery mod.
Is it possible to have traders inventory rotate only once every 24 hours of game time vs. every time you save and reload? It would make things even more realistic and prevent players from just saving/reloading until what they want is in stock. It would make ammo supply very restrictive and significantly change play style. You would have to save up AP ammo before taking on something like the Mercs at the Processing plant, and seriously conserve and choose what to plink away at versus just spraying indiscriminately because you have enough rubles to buy as many bullets as you like.
Highest Rated (83 agree) 10/10
Survivor horror at it's finest, although slightly flawed. Once all the kinks are ironed out, this will be the definite Stalker: Call Of Pripyat mod.

Lowest Rated (128 agree) 3/10
With the intention of being realistic, it ends up feeling like its "overly" realistic, while some aspects make sense, others do not. The idea that a trained military sniper gets too tired to even move after WALKING about 100 yards, only carrying 10 pounds of equipment, seems silly to me. A normal person might get tired, but military personnel are trained to run for miles with much heavier equipment. The ai could still use work, their detection system is most certainly unrealistic and can be very…

63" BlitzWorks P51D Mustang / Banana Hobby - HELP
Hi Guys,
I spent a few days getting this new bird ready for spring. Quality seems good for $200. I finally was able to test the motor w/ prop installed and have a problem. I'm not sure if it's the motor or speed controller (or both).
Here's the situation. I was able to run the motor up a few times - about 50 to 60% throttle and everything seemed fine. Then at around 50% throttle the motor would cut out and just stop after 3-5 seconds - motor gave out a crunching sound but after powering down the plane I was surprised to see that the motor still spun freely.
I unplugged the battery and restarted the system and same thing - power cut out at anything more than 50% throttle and would make some slight crunching sounds. The speed controller just started a continuous beeping after one of these power cut-outs (no power) with any throttle.
Then as I was about to shoot this video I was surprised to see that the motor would just twitch with any amount of throttle.
Any feedback would be appreciated. I don't know if I should just buy a new motor AND speed controller.
Does anyone else have this plane?

Looks like you have lost a leg. Check the connections from the esc to the motor(wire may have come loose or a bad solder joint)

Hi, I received this very plane (gunfighter scheme) as a gift and had this same problem except mine would run just under half throttle any higher it would sound like it was hit in battle lol. I cut the wrapping off the esc and saw that one of the capacitors looked burnt and the receiver lead had some black suet on it, I think this may be my problem. check for anything burnt.

63" BlitzWorks P51D Mustang / Banana Hobby - HELP
I was wondering what CG works best. The manual states 110mm, but IMO it is way to far forward. I would say the guys over sea's must really like a nose heavy planes. From building plans for over thirty years. I would say it should be closer to the main landing gear and in front of the main spar.
I just finished building the plane, I thought a PNP would go faster but I was correcting several items as I was building. I would have taken pictures of the build but its pretty straight forward. The manual is no help at all in building this plane. The little 1/2in square photos in the manual don't really help a builder

Has anybody figured out the esc programming. Want to turn brake off. ESC is a Top Flite 80a. Thanks

Microsoft Tag is now built into Bing's new Windows Phone 7.5 Visual Search functionality. Scan both Tag barcodes and QR Codes using Bing Visual Search. Simply tap Search to launch Bing, then press the Vision search icon from the app bar. Hover the viewfinder over your Tag barcode or QR Code and your item will be scanned.
3/25/2015Worthless Application.. tried to follow instructions in it to scan a ******** QR code.. Video is incorrect for Windows Phone 8.1!!;
3/18/2015How i tag with windows phone 8.1 ? Cortana
3/17/2015Won't bring back the vision fiction to your search key. Why isn't this item built into Cortana?
3/16/2015Don't bother installing. Doesn't do anything on 8.1
3/1/2015What's the use on wp8.1
2/28/2015Does not work properly with WP8.1 and Cortana. App needs to get to Bing.com using the WP search button. However, on WP8.1, search goes directly to Cortana and not Bing as it did in WP 7 or 8.0. Unless I've totally missed something, there is apparently no possible way to scan an MS Tag using WP 8.1. I've had this app for 10 minutes and now I'm deleting it. Seriously Microsoft, you can't fix your own software to work correctly with your own phone?
2/17/2015Only for windows 8.0, not 8.1
2/12/2015Outdated for WP8.1 doesn't work with search as the video shows. How foes it work now?
2/7/2015Literally just the "how to" video for an outdated built-in feature. So there's no compatibility of MS Tag on their own phone? What the hell?
2/1/2015It used to work okay until I installed Cortana. No matter what I try, I can't get it to work again. Cortana gives me hyperlinks like Wikipedia instead of launching the tag app.
