It's a shame Unity Dev's. You told us: "Your opinion counts. Help us make things better. Share your great idea for improving Unity or vote for other people's." This is the most requested feature. It got more then 3x more than the second one suggestion. Still no answer.
I know: you did a great job. Unity5 is free to use. Thats great. But it was a response to the UE4 pricing. You said that: "Free + 5% royalty is not free. Unity5 is FREE"
UE4 is available on Linux too. They put the engine source on Github. Everyone can read it, compile it and so on.
If I say "Your opinion counts" then I mean it. Not just saying and forget the whole thing. It's very disappointing that you handles your promises like that.

I have spent a few days testing the Unreal Engine on Linux, and this is my conclusion:
You have to get used to a lot of compile time, as you have to compile the editor yourself, and the way that Unreal Engine works includes compiling C++ and shaders quite often. There are workflows you can set up to almost completely avoid this, it's outlined in their guidelines, but in the beginning, it gets a little frustrating.
However, when it's running, which it does very well on both Intel and Nvidia cards, this engine is such a delight to work with. I will almost certainly never go back to making PC games in Unity, as I've gotten hooked on the Unreal pawn system and BSP map editing again, the workflow is just so much quicker.
On top of that, the post processed lighting and many other rendering features of UE are a lot more appealing to look at, and it just makes the whole process of creating stuff more rewarding.
So I am moving our project to Unreal Engine, even though it has more than a year's worth of code in it, as Unreal does have most of the features I was trying to develop built-in. I would still consider Unity for mobile games, but I've had enough of the sandboxing we're forced into with this engine, it's hurting development too much. Normally I wouldn't tell anyone what to do, but I'd strongly advise that you at least give Unreal Engine a chance, because they care a lot more about Linux developers than Unity does. If we can't rock the boat with votes and pleads, we can make a difference by leaving. But that's just my opinion.

I only use Linux on my laptop as it provides me the best development environment for school, Hackathons, and class. The big exception to this is when I attend "Game Jams" I am unable to use Unity. This definitely hurts the quality of games I am able to produce. Having a native Linux client would be a blessing!
Mar 21, 2015 11:48
Tested also virtualbox and win7 + Unity 4 / 5. Won't work either. Pls native Linux.
Liked that engine on Windows very much. Good luck@unity
Mar 20, 2015 01:21
I definitely vote this one, because, if i don't get a game out by the end of this year, my school laptop will have to have windows wiped off it if I'm going to keep it around. (Can't have corporate version on there, ye see?)
Long story short, if this happened, I could simply take my (wiped) laptop home, then drop Ubuntu or something on it, and know my projects will still run! :) Or of course, if I can find a way of earning a bit of money by the end of the year, in comes Windows 10... :D

cat litter for clay content?
I know that calcined clay litter does not serve as a drainage-enhancing soil lightener as some have mistakenly thought. It softens into a fine-textured slurry after being wet for a long time. Rather, I was wondering if it could be used effectively to add clay to sandy soil. Just 10% fine clay adds substantially to a soil's ability to retain nutrients and water.
American cat litter is usually made of montmorillonite, which is similar to bentonite, a fine clay that has been used in soil mixes. It is calcined or baked, but not enough to fuse it into a permanent solid mass.
Anybody know about this or have a good link?
Have you heard a propagation talk by Dennis Wetzel who's now with the Center for Historic Plants at Monticello?
He uses kitty litter as half of his propagating medium (mixed with perlite) but he will use only one brand, Hartz, because it has a pH of 5.5 which seems to work well for rooting.
From this, I'll suggest that the kitty litter pH is important and may be a limiting factor of sorts.
I don't know anything about cat litter but I'm much interested in whether it's a good idea to add clay to sandy soil. My soil is a sandy loam but in the heat of summer dries out very quickly, so I have been adding clay soil this spring to certain dry spots, hoping for the best. I've read that it's a bad idea to add clay to sand or sand to clay but I have trouble believing that. I might try a cat litter experiment.
Off topic, last year I tried the calcium treatment for my botrytis ridden Auguste Renoir, but I only applied it once or twice I think. I thought it made some difference, but then the plant later got botrytis as usual, maybe a little less of it. How often do you use the calcium spray?
Linda, I don't have any doubt that adding clay to sand is good practice. A moderate amount (1-2") would have an impact, if you can get it to mix. Cat litter ought to mix better. In the past I have added sand to clay, but I'm now convinced it is fruitless. It just gives you gritty clay. Soil people say you need at least 55% sand, well mixed, before it stops acting like clay.
About the calcium trick, I don't think it has a long lasting effect. If I feel like doing it, I spray it once or twice when a flush is building in cool weather, especially if rain is forecast.
Michael, I think maybe a quart sprayer full of the calcium mix might be a good thing to have on hand so I could more frequently spritz the buds of some . You sound like you have had success with adding clay so I'm glad to hear that. I got permission to pot up some clay at a nearby building site and found it very easy to mix in. I just put a 3 gallon pot of clay into each planting site. It didn't end up seeming like the proportion of clay to soil was much, but sounds like a little can help.
Michael, clay is useful because it can bind metal cations and gradually release them to the soil water. Clay, as you once pointed out, is practically unique among soil amendments in its ability to bind, and release, potassium ions. Silicate clays, such as montmorillonite, might be thought of as a totally insoluble network of silicate anions which are bound by the attraction of opposite charges to soluble metal cations, such as sodium, potassium and calcium. These cations readily exchange with other metal cations in the soil water and this is the mechanism for making them available to plants. Bentonite is good at this and bentonite is primarily composed of montmorillonite. I think you could find out more by searching for "ion exchange, montmorillonite".
Can I bore everyone with an analogy for what goes on when you mix clay with sand or vice versa?
Think of sand as a collection of large balls, say basket balls; and clay as a collection of small balls, say BBs. If you fill a large box with balls of any one size, the balls will tend to settle in a structure called cubic close packed, where each ball is just touching 6 other balls. In this structure, 75% (actually, 74.05%, see link below) of the space will be occupied by the balls themselves, and 25% of the space will be empty. This is true for atoms, for BBs and for basketballs. If you call the empty space "pores", then you can say that basket balls have a small number of large pores while BBs have a large number of small pores. It is larger pores that allows water to move faster through sand than through clay. If you start with 100% clay and gradually add sand, and assume the mixture becomes as compact as possible, this is what should happen:
1) At 25% sand there should be none of the large pores associated with sand because any large pores will be filled with clay. The speed at which water can move through the mixture will actually be less than that for pure clay because there will be no large pores and fewer smaller pores (because sand occupies some of the space).
2) At 50% clay, 50% sand - more of the same happens, no large pores and fewer smaller pores and drainage is even worse.
3) At 75% sand, a minimum is reached and the most compact soil mixture is formed. The large balls of sand will take up a cubic close packed structure and there is just enough small balls of clay to completely fill the large pores. This is as compact and dense as a clay-sand mixture can get and I assume that it is no accident that the recipe for making adobe bricks is precisely this ratio (75:25) of clay to sand.
4) At greater than 75% sand, drainage should gradually increase until the mixture is 100% sand, simply because there will not be enough small balls of clay to completely fill the large pores between the balls of sand.
The overall conclusion is what Michael wrote: adding small amounts of sand to clay soils just makes matters worse; adding small amounts of clay to sandy soils should do little harm to the drainage and will improve the soil's ability to hold nutrients.
Here is a link that might be useful: cubic close packing
I add water retention to my sandy soil by adding organics in the form of horse manure, leaves, wood mulch, and compost. Drainage has not been affected over the years and is still great. Water retention is much better.
Mike, a great explanation.
Thanks so much, Mike. I guess this is why some people say that adding sand to clay produces "concrete." I always assumed they had been stomping around in their clay when it was wet, which maybe they were also doing.
Of course, the analysis assumes perfect mixing and uniform sizes. In real soil mixed by the gardener, you would have aggregates of clay in different sizes. Also any soil that hasn't been compacted will develop a structure that will allow drainage.
As I understand, one value of adding clay as well as organic matter to sand is that clay retains phosphate as well as cations, while organic matter retains only cations. Is that correct?
Interesting. I have always been confused about water crystals. They absorb water, and supposedly release it. Well, if water is scarce, do they hog up all the available water, making the surrounding soil even dryer? Maybe it doesn't matter. If they retain water, any root in contact with a water crystal would get some water. I guess.
My limited confidence in adding clay comes from potted plants with garden soil added to the potting mix. I've read that's not recommended but I find it works better.
Carl, I have added lots of organic stuff to my soil and in some areas I have rich, dark, moist soil. In other areas I have sandy fluff. I have read that it's possible to add too many organic materials to soil. I am expanding some beds this year and adding nothing. BTW Happy Butt is doing well.
I have very sandy soil and came to adding clay to my roses in a roundabout way. My vegetable beds were composed of soil (lots of sand) and years of homemade compost, but the vegetables never tasted as good as my sister's, who gardens in clay soil. This was especially true of ones with high water content, like tomatoes.
One year I experimented. I took some of her soil (nearly 100% clay), dissolved it in water, and watered some of my veggies with it. Without a doubt, there was a huge difference in flavor between my clay-doused tomatoes, etc. and the others, I assume because of the higher mineral content.
In the years since I've built up that clay content in the same way. Dissolving it and watering it in creates a soil that seems mostly compost/humus/sand with this slightly sticky clay quality.
In one of those beds was a rose that seemed to thrive in the heat of a particularly hot summer. I realized the clay was holding in the water better, and have been adding (unscented) kitty litter to rose and clematis planting holes ever since as a way to maintain nutrient/water retention.
I should add that down 6 or so inches, my soil is 100% sand, so great drainage, but little nutritional value.
That's a very interesting way to get the clay in there, in fact it's wonderful because you could apply that to an established plant without doing any digging. I will definitely try it in my " death valley" which is a very dry spot with big root competition. Roses don't actually die there but they take forever to grow and suffer from the drought.
Many will frown on this practice but I use dirty cat litter in the bottom of my planting holes. I know it can spread diseases but I don't disturb a bush once it's been planted so won't come into contact with the used cat litter for at least a year and then only if I have to transplant or remove a bush. I get the benefit of the clay and any fertilzer that may be available in the cat poop. The roses don't seem to mind either. At least they haven't said anything to me. If they ever do you'll be the first to know.
Very interesting thread. FYI, John Starnes, Florida rosarian and garden writer has a recipe for sandy soil improvement and it includes a bag of cat litter, the cheapest.
He says to till in the litter and as much leaf litter, wood chips or compost that you can along with a large bag of dog kibble. Let it sit far a few weeks and plant away. The clay litter is for it water holding properties and micro nutrients and the kibble draws and feeds the worms and adds micro nutrients.
I believe this was for 100 square feet.
Here is a link that might be useful: Similar recipe
Years ago I added clumping cat litter to the holes of most of the roses in the front yard. It was added at the same time the holes were dug and completely mixed in with the other amendments. Over the years some of the roses have been shovel pruned including a few in the middle of summer. Since I do not want to waste water on a rose that is going to be removed I stop watering before I dig them out. At the dig out the clumping cat litter has been found to make small clumps about the size of a thumb and the rose roots run around and through them. The clumps are moist even if the soil surrounding them is not.

Cells In the Retina Tile Like Puzzle Pieces 29
from the rather-than-scrabble-tiles dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
They talk about an exquisite coordination that is finely tuned to prevent blind spots while avoiding overlap.
Perhaps it is more like cells with random variation simply growing outward until reaching a neighboring cell at which point some chemical signaling occurs to establish a mutual border.
Or maybe a time lapse of cell cultures would show an ever changing chemical war fighting over the borders like neighboring corals do.
A system like this should provide maximal coverage with minimal overlap with no exquisite coordination beyond the individual cells.
I think the breakthrough here is not that the cells themselves fit together but that the individual fields they each sense are coordinated. Like one cell type senses a field that is circle shaped, the one right next to it, if it sensed a circle, would have overlap and would cause imaging problems, instead the cell right next to it senses a crescent shape, fitting with the one next to it to avoid overlap.
These regions fit together like pieces of a puzzle, preventing "blind spot" and excessive overlap that could blur our perception of the world.
How the cells come together is regulated but it still isn't like pixels, the junctions between the cells are not a perfect grid, there are irregularities. The cells compensate for that. I haven't read in depth but that seems to be the gist.

Mongo is a fictional planet where the comic strip (and later movie serials) of Flash Gordon takes place. It is ruled by a usurper named Ming the Merciless, who governs with an iron hand.
Mongo is inhabited by different cultures. Some are technologically advanced, but they are falling under the domination of the tyrant Ming. Flash Gordon succeeds in unifying them against Ming and eventually removes him from power.
Planetary description[edit]
Mongo is depicted as Earth-like. Its atmosphere is compatible with Terran life, and the dominant species on Mongo is the Homo sapiens. Other intelligent species exist, either Homo sapiens variants or others of a humanoid pattern, such as the Lion Men. Mongo is about the diameter of Mars, but is considerably denser, so its gravity is only slightly weaker than the Earth's, though it still allows Flash Gordon to put his gymnastics skills to good use.
Mongo has a variety of climates.[1] Part of the planet is covered by the forest kingdom of Arboria, ruled by Prince Barin. An area of mountains and caverns makes up the frozen kingdom of Frigia, ruled by Barin's cousin, Queen Fria. Beneath the Sea of Mystery is the underwater kingdom of Coralia, ruled by Queen Undina. Bordering the sea is the Land of the Lion Men, ruled by King Thun.
East of the Lion Men's kingdom are the Magnetic Mountains, where Ming the Merciless established a new base of operations after he was defeated and removed from Mongo's throne. North of this is the Sky City of the Hawkmen, led by Vultan. To the South it is claimed the Monkey Men live. Between Mingo City and Sky City is the land of the Brown Dwarves. There is also the jungle continent of Tropica, ruled by Queen Desira, and the Fire Lands, home of Gundar the Desert Hawk. Mongo also has extensive underground domains.
These kingdoms and their rulers feature prominently in The New Adventures of Flash Gordon.
Mongo, and the wider Flash Gordon setting, was designed to be more fantastical and comic book-like than its contemporary, Buck Rogers. Despite its futuristic technology, the inhabitants of Mongo are frequently depicted in terms of sword and sorcery tropes. This is most evident in the underground caverns of the Witch Kingdom of Syk,[1] a land that Ming has never been able to conquer. Its legendary founder, Ghor-Dhan (pronounced as "Gordon"), appears identical to Flash Gordon. Queen Azura, the ruler, becomes convinced that Gordan is the reincarnation of Ghor-Dhan.
Mongo, ruled under a unified world government, is ruled from Mingo City, site of the palace of Ming the Merciless, who appears to be the Emperor of all Mongo. Mongo's political structure is exclusively monarchical. Each realm Flash Gordon visits has its own king or queen. Most seem to give at least some deference to Ming the Merciless, the exceptions being Prince Barin and Thun, ruler of the Lion Men.
Thun informs Flash Gordon that Barin should be the emperor, but he adds that in his view this would be no improvement. Ming's authority appears to be based as much on his vast military power as on his legal position. A reference is made to legends that Ming once was the high priest of an ancient Mongovian king, and that he (Ming) launched invasions 'long and long ago'. Ming claims to be immortal, and these tales may be meant to support this.
When Flash Gordon arrives on Mongo, he finds Prince Barin is leading a guerrilla war against Ming from Arboria. Thun the Lion Man is also Ming's active enemy. However, Prince Barin is at odds with the Lion Men and almost everyone else. Gordon learns that "every race on Mongo is an enemy to every other race" and "each man stands alone on Mongo". Much of Gordon's effort is directed toward overcoming this mutual antipathy.
The social structure of Mongo is oppressive. Ming uses slave labor to mine radioactive elements for power and industry. Thun tells Gordon that one week in the mines can damage your health, and 100 days is the life span of the workers. Ming's beautiful daughter Aura hunts people for excitement.
The lesser rulers of Mongo also practice slavery. The Hawkmen of King Vultan use slave labor from rival states in high-radiation work, and even Prince Barin hunts political enemies for sport. King Vultan of the flying Hawkmen has ambitions of becoming Ming's son-in-law by a forced marriage to Ming's daughter Aura. The various nations view all outsiders as enemies to be slain or exploited. Of all the rulers Flash meets, Thun is consistently the most honorable, loyal, and decent.
In the 2007 Sci Fi Channel series, Mongo's government is called the "United Peoples of Mongo", ruled by Emperor Ming.
Academic John Cheng identifies themes of yellow peril in depictions of Mongo's politics. Cheng calls these themes "different and more radical", as Ming's control of Mongo is absolute and openly acknowledged instead of a secret and shadowy conspiracy. Though they are the invaders, Flash Gordon and his friends are depicted as liberators of planet Mongo. Cheng states that their use excorporation in order to weaken and ultimately unseat Ming reinforces his nature as "familiarly Asian".[2]
Flash Gordon revival[edit]
In the Scifi Channel series Flash Gordon, Mongo is a planet, "in another dimension" (i.e. parallel universe). It is explained that "the dimensional shift" is "quite small" and that there is an inherent connection between Earth and Mongo, where the quantum mechanics of Bell's theorem and EPR paradox are working on a planetary scale. That is why there are so many similarities between both worlds, including language and Homo Sapiens evolving on both planets. It is theorized that at some point in time and space, the two planets were much closer.
In the episode Sorrow, it is revealed that Mongo was once a prosperous blue and green planet; it relied on a glowing red ore called zerilium that was mined on the moon. Mongo's inhabitants even built two small artificial moons named Arkaylia and Surd to process zerilium and shelter the miners. An accident on Mongo released poisonous zerilium gas into the air, which caused acid rain, killed wildlife, and contaminated Mongo's water. The planet became uninhabitable. A small portion of Mongo's people emigrated to Arkaylia. After three generations on the artificial moon, Mongo's environment partially repaired itself. As a result, the people returned to the planet. Clean water, known as "source water", still remained scarce and came from underground. Centuries later, Ming seized power and began his rule.
Flash Gordon film[edit]
In the Flash Gordon film from 1980, Mongo is depicted as a barren world covered with tall, very slender hills that look like spikes, but with a very colorful extended atmosphere that is capable of supporting the weight of various miles-wide chunks of rock that are called "moons", including Arboria and Frigia. The people of Mongo resemble humans but with slight differences, such as having blue or green blood, or having their bodies undergo rapid disintegration when killed.

Various SFM downloadsSo since SFM Box got canned, I remembered I had a lot of things from there that I could still upload for you guys. A few of these aren't something I uploaded, but rather found. Why did I include it? Hell if I know. Some of it is common stuff that you probably already have (for the newer SFM users) like Scout's Mom, Administrator, and Miss Pauling. But a lot of it is various maps, props, models, etc that I found on SFM Box and also some other websites such as TF2Maps.net. I have both the Steampunk sets, the one with Femscout, and a set I found for Garry's Mod that I think a few people know about already, but whatever. A few of them I actually forget what they're for because the file name is either gibberish or vague, and if you don't know me, I have a terrible memory. Unless it's an Avril Lavigne song.More Like This
Anyway, happy SFMing.

solar recharging
Any idea the surface area of a solar panel required to charge a hearing aid battery?
Assuming it's a 3 volt lithium ion rechargeable button cell ...
The panel will need to put out 4.2 - 4.5 volts at 100 milliamps up to 300 milliamps, but not more than that ... It will also need a circut to stop charging if the battery heats up too much or gets saturated and fully charged.
For a 1.5 volt cell, you'll want to charge at a maximum of 2.5 volts, 100 - 300 milliamps.
The higher the milliamp rating, the faster the battery will charge, but the more heat that will be generated. Some batteries can handle 500+ milliamp charge rates (fast charging), but some can explode with only 200 milliamps if they are small and delicate.
If you have a store nearby like Staples, Batteries Plus, Target, or something similar, you can ask for more detailed information concerning your battery and home charging needs.

N.C.A.A. TOURNAMENT: SOUTHEAST;Cincinnati and Tech Offer Friday Preview
By THOMAS GEORGE
Published: March 18, 1996
ORLANDO, Fla., March 17— Cincinnati and Georgia Tech today selected different routes to the Southeast Region's final four. Both, however, will be there on Friday night at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., two victories shy of a snappier prize -- a trip to the Meadowlands and to the tournament's elite of elite -- the Final Four.
Cincinnati hammered Temple, 78-65.
Georgia Tech sped past Boston College, 103-89.
The winner of Cincinnati (27-4) vs. Georgia Tech (24-11) will meet the Connecticut-Mississippi State survivor to produce the region's Final Four representative.
The first game played here today before 16,894 at the Orlando Arena featured one team that tried to slow it down (Temple) against another that wanted to race (Cincinnati). So Cincinnati drove half speed for a half, then put its foot to the pedal and lifted the game from cruise control to a blur.
Georgia Tech played the entire game that way.
Zoom! Swoosh! Swish!
"One guy would make a shot, and then another, and then another, from over here, from over there -- it was like Christmas for them," said Boston College forward Keenan Jourdon. "That team hits home runs."
That team, Georgia Tech, made 59 percent of its shots in the first half and 63 percent in the second. Over all, it was 36 of 59 for 61 percent. It shot 57 percent from the 3-point line including 7 of 10 in the second half. How about 27 assists over all, 8-of-10 free-throw shooting in the first half and all five starters reaching double figures?
That is smoking.
"That team is Hollywood," said Boston College forward Bevan Thomas. "Cincinnati is more physical."
But both teams relied on one player to light and keep their flames crackling. For Georgia Tech, it was the freshman guard Stephon Marbury. For Cincinnati, it was the junior guard Damon Flint. Marbury's production: 39 minutes, a career-high 29 points, 10-of-12 shooting, 6 of 7 3-pointers, 3 of 3 in free throws, 9 assists and 4 steals. Flint's: 39 minutes, 22 points, 4 3-pointers, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
"We saw the real Georgia Tech today," said a beaming Tech coach, Bobby Cremins. "Stephon was sensational. That is why he was one of the best high school players ever, why he was regarded so highly coming into college. He is big in big games."
Bob Huggins, the Cincinnati coach, knows he has someone special in Flint. "Damon can do so many things to hurt you," Huggins said. "He's had games were he did not shoot the ball for 35 minutes and I'd ask him why and he'd say, 'I didn't feel right; I wanted to get everyone involved.' And then he has games like today. Damon is so long. He is 6-foot-5 but he plays like he is 6-foot-7. His reach is that good on offense and on defense."
Flint sparked Cincinnati from the start, starting fast breaks and finishing others, nailing big 3-pointers. Cincinnati led early by 12-4 but only by 34-33 at halftime, despite Flint having scored 16 first-half points.
Before the game, Temple had called the lanky Flint the game's X-factor. "They were hitting shots and they were long shots," said Temple Coach John Chaney. "We were very surprised. We were not prepared to stop Flint. We can't put five fingers on five spots. We tried to stop the inside and Danny Fortson. I'm trying to stop the guy that beats you day in and day out."
Fortson, the Bearcats' powerful 260-pound center, would finish with 18 points. But Fortson and Flint and the other Bearcats entered the second half with a plan of doubling the low post, forcing long Temple shots, grabbing the rebound and taking off. Speeding up the game. Getting Temple to fail in an area where it excels, floor balance. Suddenly, Cincinnati was getting layups. Suddenly, it was up by 54-39 with 10:44 to play. Temple closed to 3 points (64-61) with 3:55 left but wilted.
"We made our spurt, they made one and then we made the last one," Fortson said. "We concentrated on defense and got them back on their heels and that got the game our way."
It was the fifth victory in the last six meetings over the last four seasons for Cincinnati over Temple. The last two? In last year's tournament, Cincinnati beat Temple by 77-71. In this past regular season Cincinnati beat Temple by 70-49.
Flint said: "They made it where we had to make our shots by clamping inside, and if we hadn't, it might be them talking about this game now instead of us. Coming in I knew I was going to get shots just from the way Temple plays the low post. They don't change. So, I knew they would concentrate inside and this would be my game to score."
All of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets played as if they felt that way. They played the entire game against Boston College with supreme confidence. They took the Eagles' star, center Danya Abrams, out of the game with early foul trouble, and he would finish with only 16 points.
"We are playing as a team and not as individuals as we did early in the season," Marbury said. "When we play together, we are good. I'd rather play again in two days. I'm ready right now."
He will have to wait.
Flint will have to wait too, for a matchup of similar styles and sparkling, clashing stars.

I agree on the subject of Isaac vs. the other guys. I don't see a true gamebreaker out of Green, Smith, Shallman, Rawls, Hayes, etc. I also wouldn't say Isaac is the best gamebreaking back in the country (I would have preferred Altee Tenpenny, Justin Davis, or a couple others), but Isaac has more big play ability than Green and those Michigan players/commits.
I did not make this headline up

Government today announced that the Comptroller and Auditor General will audit the fund allocations under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in the wake of the multi-crore NRHM scam in Uttar Pradesh.
Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told the Lok Sabha that following irregularities found in U.P. and other States, the Centre had asked the CAG to audit the funds allocated under NRHM.
"The CAG has agreed to it...it will audit future allocations and let us see if it can audit the past records too," he said in reply to a discussion on Demand for Grants for the Health and Family Welfare Ministry.
Mr. Azad also announced that the NRHM scheme, started seven years ago, will continue for the next five years following an approval by the Union Cabinet last night.
Referring to the scam, he said the magnitude of irregularities in U.P. was "according to its size" and similar irregularities have been reported from other States also.
Asserting that the government will take stringent measures to check the problem, Mr. Azad said State governments as well as officials will have to account for each paisa spent under the scheme.
The CAG does not audit funds spent by States under NRHM, but it has been done in the case of U.P. following the scam.
The minister said measures like statutory audit, model accounting handbook, and e-banking have been adopted during the last two years to streamline the system.

Lenexa, Kan. (PRWEB) February 11, 2013
PlattForm Films has announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the distribution of Reconstructing the Dream, a documentary that examines the growing gap between the skills todays companies demand from their workforce and the willingness of Americas higher education leaders to provide those skills to students.
We all know them: talented, well-educated people working in jobs beneath their abilities. Despite the hard work and dedication it took them to achieve a college education, they find themselves at dead ends, with even bleaker prospects than if they hadnt attempted to pursue a degree. Whats startling is that there are jobs available if they only had the right skills. This, in essence, is the crux of the skills gap. Millions of people are following a path they believe will lead to the American dream and ending up without a job and deep in debt.
Hosted and narrated by Dr. William Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education under President Ronald Reagan, Reconstructing the Dream shares the stories of graduates from every sector of higher education in their quest to find work and realize their version of the American dream. Featuring interviews with prominent educators, political leaders, students and graduates from all walks of higher education, Reconstructing the Dreams purpose is to challenge the nation's political leaders, the U.S. Department of Education and education stakeholders across all sectors to offer solutions for how we, as Americans, might work together to reconstruct our education system.

Plame Sues Cheney, Rove and Aide over Leak
Former CIA agent Valerie Plame and her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, have filed suit against Vice President Dick Cheney, presidential aide Karl Rove and former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby for their roles in the public disclosure of Plame's classified status as a CIA operative.
The suit accuses Cheney, Rove and Libby of a conspiracy to hurt Plame's career. The disclosure of Plame's identity as a CIA official was made in a newspaper column by Robert Novak. Wilson had previously spoken out against the Bush administrations claims that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
The lawsuit alleges "an anonymous whispering campaign" meant to retaliate against Plame and Wilson. The CIA had sent Wilson to Africa to investigate the possibility that Saddam Hussein was seeking "yellow cake" uranium there.
Despite Wilson's conclusion that the story had no merit, President Bush cited it as proof of Iraq's escalating danger in his 2003 State of the Union address. Wilson then wrote a column for the New York Times in which he reiterated that the claims were false.
Karl Rove has been questioned about his role in the disclosure of Plame's name, but he was not charged. Libby has been indicted for allegedly lying to FBI investigators and a grand jury about the case.

Do you fancy a quiet reflective day away on a local retreat?
Then click here to see what we have planned.
Click here to take you to the Stewardship website programme of doing "40 Acts of Kindness" during Lent.
We are part of the Heart of England Group of Parishes which includes:
- Bidford on Avon
- Binton
- Exhall
- Temple Grafton
- Wixford
At St Matthew's we are a group of people learning to love God and to love each other.
We have been drawn together for many reasons and, looking back, see the love of God reaching out to us in so many ways. Life can be hard or hurtful and some have found healing. Some were broken and feel God putting life back together. Others were brought up as Christians while still others met someone or heard someone speaking about God's love and explored for themselves.
It is remarkable to be in a community of such different kinds of people, yet to see how God's love brings us very close together.
There is so much more to our life together than "going to church". We do worship together, but also share our hopes, fears and joys. In small groups midweek we pray for each other, study the Bible and try to discern God's message for our lives today.
We would probably say we have found life's deepest and most precious treasure. We didn't deserve it. You are most welcome to come and share it, there is lots to go round.

The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is an endocrine organ found within a small, bony cavity at the base of the brain. Its primary function is to secrete hormones that regulate homeostasis. More specifically, the pituitary gland is a glandular structure about the size of a pea.

Whoops! Floor not level, tiles need to be removed...any advice?
So upsetting. DH's birthday today, and we were planning to celebrate by finishing off shower by installing the glass doors. Yeah, I know we live the high life!
While I was making his favourite cheese and ham scones, he was measuring, said he'd had a nightmare last night... and lo and behold, realized that the 5' X 3' base is not square to the tile walls. What happened we discovered is that the floor slopes towards one end by ~ 3/8" in that 60".
So, that by the time you get up to the top of the glass doors, the difference between the edge of the glass and the wall would be over 1/2". Crap! My stomach is twisted in knots, I realize in the scheme of things not the end of the world, but just so disappointing!
The only solution we can see is to remove the bottom row of tiles, plus at least one floor tile so that we can lift up the base (solid cultured marble) and shim it level. DH is now banging away trying to remove tiles which he says I will never have to worry about falling off, ie they are not coming off easily!
Any words of advice, encouragement, sympathy? Guess the only way to get those tiles off is to break them?
Sigh.... :>(
Thanks for asking Enduring! think it's solved. DH removed the bottom tiles, (just from the short end that was lower), and all the tiles attached to the shower base itself on the outside edge, and one floor tile. He then lifted up the base (turned out he needed to lift it more than he had anticipated at first). He's remeasured everything, used levels and squares, and thinks it's all 'perfect'. His brother happens to be in town today, so we're hoping he can help hold the glass door in place to check that it will fit properly, then DH will retile everything and then doors can be installed. I am over the angst I felt last Saturday, (did not sleep very well that night). Compared to some of the problems others have been having this week, this is a minor blip, relatively easily solved, and we even still have extra tiles left over. Our tile place luckily had an open pail of the waterproofing membrane, and so instead of having to pay $150 to re-waterproof exactly 2 square feet, it only cost us $25! And, if it doesn't dry out, may even be enough to waterproof around tub edges in next BR! LOL (We could end up saving money! Ha ha ha!
Floor tile to furthest left had to removed, all the tiles on shower base, but luckily none of the surbase tiles, as the floor tile had just fit underneath.
Sounds great. Your post was a fun read :) and I think the colors of you tile and shower base are very pretty. You guys did a very neat job of tiling. Looking forward to the finished pictures.
You're ahead of me. I still have to tile that dang shower. Today they bring the second counter as the first one was cut too short on one end. Good news was that there was enough from the remnant to make a second counter.
We now understand why you're not chomping at the bit to do your shower. We have a VERY healthy respect for GOOD tilers! As I've said in another post, DH is a very competent DIY'er, but he says he will never tile another shower again! I love the look of the 12 X 24 tiles, but if we'd had a 6' X 4' shower, instead of a 5' X 3', it would have been much easier. Nearly every single tile had to be cut. We decided to miter all the outside corners, niche and one wall, and that was a bugger on those big tiles. We're not 100% happy with the results, but it will be interesting to see what others think of it, of course it's in our Master BR, and guests will only see it once, and I'm sure they will be polite and give the appropriate oohs and aahs. Hopefully once the teak vanity is in, my complete vision will come to fruition, and the overall look WILL be worth it.
Hopefully, your counter is perfect. I have a feeling they might have had problems cutting mine too, as it is not exactly the part of the remnant I had specified. I had another piece cut for the shower niche, and when DH had to trim it a bit, a corner fell off. When I took it back to the granite fabricators to fix his boo-boo, another bigger chunk fell off. They glued it back on...far back corner, so no one will ever see, but I realize that this granite, though very pretty, is quite fragile. It had that mesh glued on the bottom...so it's fine for a small vanity, though I don't think I would have taken a chance with it for a large kitchen, too many places it could have crumbled/broken.

Anne Frank tree isn't dead. It's being revived at a greenhouse in Franklin Park (as per parks and rec dept.)
A couple of bare spots in the grass today are all that remains of what was supposed to turn into a leafy memorial to Anne Frank on Boston Common.
As first noted last month, the Anne Frank sapling -... Read more
