Here's the truth: The government doesn't shut down
Friday - 9/20/2013, 5:30pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Here's the truth about a government "shutdown." The government doesn't shut down.
So the world won't end if a dysfunctional Washington can't find a way to pass a funding bill before the new budget year begins on Oct. 1.
Social Security checks will still go out. Troops will remain at their posts. Doctors and hospitals will get their Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. In fact, virtually every essential government agency, like the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard, will remain open. Furloughed federal workers probably would get paid, eventually. Transportation Security Administration officers would continue to man airport checkpoints.
But lurking around the corner is far bigger danger: Sometime in late October or early November the government could run out of cash. The U.S. would be unable to pay all of its bills in full and on time for the first time in history if it couldn't borrow more money.
While the Treasury Department probably would make interest payments to bondholders to prevent a catastrophic default on the debt, it wouldn't be able to make other payments on time, which would mean delays in Social Security benefits and in paychecks for federal workers and troops in the field.
Americans would feel the pain.
To prevent a "shutdown," Congress must pass a temporary spending bill before Oct. 1. To prevent a default, it must raise the $16.7 trillion cap on government borrowing.
Averting a shutdown is supposed to be easy. There hasn't been one since the 1995-96 battle in which President Bill Clinton bested Newt Gingrich and his band of budget-slashing conservatives. This time, the conservatives want to hold government-funding hostage in order to derail the implementation of President Barack Obama's law to make people buy health insurance. GOP leaders want to avoid a shutdown and are trying to finesse a solution.
Raising the debt limit is typically more difficult, but it has always been done because the possible consequences of default are so dire: upheaval in financial markets, a spike in U.S. borrowing costs and a host of delayed payments to both individual Americans and businesses. Under current estimates, the "X date" by which the government can't meet all of its payments would come in the latter half of October or early November. So Congress needs to act by mid-October to be safe.
In the separate case of a shutdown, fewer than half of the 2.1 million federal workers subject to it would be forced off the job if the Obama administration follows the rules followed by previous Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Clinton. That's not counting about 500,000 Postal Service employees or 1.4 million uniformed military personnel who would be exempt.
The rules for who works and who doesn't date back to the early 1980s and haven't been significantly modified since. The Obama administration re-issued the guidance on Wednesday.
The air traffic control system, food inspection, Medicare, veterans' health care and many other essential government programs would run as usual. The Social Security Administration would not only send out benefits but would continue to take applications. The Postal Service, which is self-funded, would keep delivering the mail. The Federal Emergency Management Agency could continue to respond to disasters at the height of hurricane season.
The Washington Monument would be closed. But it's been closed anyway since an earthquake in 2011.
Museums along the National Mall would close, too. National parks would be closed to visitors, a loss often emphasized in shutdown discussions.
The Capitol would remain open, however. Congress is deemed essential, despite its abysmal poll ratings.
From a practical perspective, shutdowns usually aren't that big a deal. They happened every year when Jimmy Carter was president, averaging 11 days each. During President Reagan's two terms, there were six shutdowns, typically just one or two days apiece. Deals got cut. Everybody moved on.
In 1995-96, however, shutdowns morphed into political warfare, to the dismay of Republicans who thought they could use them to drag Clinton to the negotiating table on a balanced budget plan.
Republicans took a big political hit, but most Americans suffered relatively minor inconveniences like closed parks and delays in processing passport applications. Some 2,400 workers cleaning up toxic waste sites were sent home, and there were short delays in processing veterans' claims.
Under a precedent-setting memorandum by Reagan budget chief David Stockman, federal workers are exempted from furloughs if their jobs are national security-related or if they perform essential activities that "protect life and property."

I was doing my Sons of Hodir dailies today as Holy (still working my way to exalted), and it struck me that if Shield of Righteousness had a Spellpower coefficient, it would be really useful for Holy soloing.
Shield of Righteousness right now is:
Damage = BlockValue + 400
Since Strength now contributes a lot to block value, Protection and Retribution get a lot out of the first term, and the 400 is just icing on the cake because 200% of block value was too powerful. But since Holy has no strength, the second term dominates, and the first term contributes less damage. My ShR hits for about 670 damage.
But if Shield of Righteousness looked like:
Damage = J*BlockValue + K*Spellpower
It would suddenly be a lot more useful. Both Protection and Retribution have talents granting them a small amount of spellpower, so they won't miss the base 400 damage. But it would make the spell scale for Holy, and give them a nice extra attack for soloing.

I agree! I've been wishing it got something out of spellpower ever since my healadin first tried it out. Scaling with spellpower would be nicely targeted, since it'd help Holy soloing but not overpower it too much for Ret and Prot.

- Hana said...
That would make too much sense hehe... Though in all honestly I don't feel too bad on my holy paladin. I don't kill things like lightning, but he's still feels stronger than he was in TBC and solo-ing with him isn't an mind-numbing as I thought it would be.

I like this idea! Yeah, it makes way too much sense :P

- Klepsacovic said...
This is how we start ending up with prot wanting SP again. If it scales with SP and we don't want it using SP, then it must scale better with strength, but then it might scale too well compared to DKs and warriors so it gets nerfed... next thing we know we're rolling on mage weapons again.
If only holy used strength. If it had a couple AP->SP and AP->int talents, it could switch into ret gear and the nightmare of balancing strength and SP coefficients on the same spells would by over. Maybe next expansion...

ok, while I can see why you might want it to be more useful for the holydin I still have a few questions:
1) Why on earth are you questing as Holy? lol
2) Why would you ever want to use a 1-hander and shield as a retridin? (in a average questing situation)
As a protadin, i'm very happy wth the way SotR works tbh, I dont think it needs to scale of Spellpower.

Because dual specs aren't out yet. :(

1) Why on earth are you questing as Holy? lol
Because I'm not exalted with Sons of Hodir yet, and respeccing every day just to do a few dailies seems excessive.
- 9:26 AM, January 26, 2009
- Rohan said...
Why would you ever want to use a 1-hander and shield as a retridin? (in a average questing situation)
I don't know. You might need to tank or off-tank something and you don't want to bother with respeccing.
In general, I think it's a good idea to make sure each ability at least works decently with each spec. Just in case.

In general, I think it's a good idea to make sure each ability at least works decently with each spec.
I would say, though, that SoR does fit this bill. Sure it's not optimized for Holy, but they still get a pretty decent amount of damage from it regardless. Heck, you could even toss on some Ret gear and actually get a pretty decent bonus, unlike Prot. Prot already scales on Stam and Str, so switching to Ret gear just makes me feel awkward since few of my abilities really match the way I should be attacking.
- 9:59 AM, January 26, 2009
- Valis said...
Its still worth throwing in your rotation when you have a spare cooldown. It's cheap, it procs Seal and Judgement of Wisdom, so its essentialy free or likely mana positive bonus damage.
- 10:10 AM, January 26, 2009
- Torquemada said...
I think having ShoR changed to do Block Value plus something like 2/3 of spell power would be fine. As a mostly 25-man geared tank I run with 714 spell power(Entirely from Guided by the Light). 2/3 of that works out to be about 470, which is a bit higher, but at lower levels it would work out to about the same, if not less than it is currently.
An alternative option is to bake it in to yet another deep level holy talent, like Divine Illumination. It may have to be stricter in terms of the coefficient, since I've seen Holy paladins with 2500 spell power, and a Holy Pally with ShoR hits in the 2200s before crits for less than 200 mana every six seconds starts to look too much like the Shockadins of old. Not that I have a problem with that.

Again, you've made another post, explaining perfect, simply mechanics to fix a certain aspect of the Paladin class.
Again, Blizz will keep to their own, somewhat unbalanced mechanics.

Holy pallies should have aura of norris, that roundhouse kicks mobs with the power of light, reckoning, and justice.
Or alternately they should make game content that can only be passed as a healer, such as keeping NPC's alive as they go after a certain task.
- 5:06 PM, January 26, 2009
- Anonymous said...
In that case can protection paladins get a free holy shock? Holy paladins have that hitting for about the same as my prot hits ShoR.

Clermont recorded a 22-3 win over Saracens at Vicarage Road to book their place in the European Cup semi-finals.
Fullback Lee Byrne scored a try while flyhalf Brock James (who replaced the injured David Skrela early in the match) contributed 17 points via the boot (a conversion, four penalties and a drop goal) to seal the convincing win for the French club.
Saracens, who had seven Saffas in their match 22, could only manage an Owen Farrell penalty in the first half in a poor performance at home.
In Sunday's other quarter-final fixture, scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar slotted 14 points from the kicking tee (four penalties and a conversion) to help Ulster to a 22-16 win over Pro12 defending champions Munster. Wing Craig Giloy also crossed the chalk and flyhalf Ian Humphreys added a drop goal for the victors.
The European Cup semi-finals will see Clermont host Leicester, while Edinburgh will face Ulster. Both play-offs are scheduled for 28 April.

EUR-USD lifted to a high of 1.1208 following an above-forecast rise in the German May Ifo business conditions survey and with Draghi saying that the Eurozone outlook is the best for seven years. There is also market talk of a option with a 1.1200 strike expiring at today's New York cut, which in theory could exert a gravitational pull around this level, and of general euro short trimming ahead of holidays in the States and UK on Monday.

The Hagerstown SunsThe Hagerstown Suns
Playing Baseball 30's Style
The Hagerstown Suns are a minor league baseball team based in Hagerstown, Maryland.
This league has been moving steadily northward, gathering teams along the way. They are the Class A affiliate of the Washington Nationals major-league club starting with the 2007 season.
Newer ballparks are being built almost yearly to maximize team profits while older stadiums are becoming relics of the past. The Municipal Stadium is just that...a relic. The Hagerstown Suns truly have it made playing 21st century baseball in the 1930s baseball atmosphere.
The Municipal Stadium, home to the Hagerstown Suns, which seats 4,600 fans, was built in 1931, and has been a part of many different leagues throughout the years, including: The Eastern League, Carolina League, Piedmont League, and the Interstate League.
Throughout the 40s and the 50s there were a few different teams that played at the stadium. The minor leagues were more so during the 40s and 50s - that being the Hagerstown Owls and the Hagerstown Packets. Throughout the 60s and 70s there really wasn't baseball at the stadium, "it was mostly used for town use and high school games and different types of tournaments, but not any kind of professional baseball," said Will Smith, general manager at the Municipal Stadium.
The Suns came to town in 1981. The first year they were a co-op team, not really an affiliate of any one particular team, but actually affiliated with five! "Each organization fed to about five players and that's how they made up their team," Smith said. Grady Little, who managed the Red Sox and currently manages the Dodgers, was the manager at that time. When he managed, "they won their first championship the first year and they haven't done it since. We came close a few years ago, we had a good team, but we lost in the championship," said Smith.
They started out as a Carolina league affiliate in 1981, which is what the Frederick Keys are playing in now. The Hagerstown Suns were with the Frederick Keys Franchise. They were owned by a group called Maryland Baseball at the time and were picked up and moved to Frederick, because they got a new stadium built for them.
Without skipping a beat, "the Hagerstown team sort of got lucky and pulled a AA team in here, which is kind of amazing because usually the bigger better markets get the bigger better team," said Smith. "AA is a step up from Class A Advanced, which is what Frederick Keys were.
"The Hagerstown team was in the Eastern league for a few years until they left and went to Bowie when Bowie built the new stadium for the Bowie Baysocks. That franchise picked up and left around 1993. There are 16 teams in a league. The team moved here from Mytrle Beach. When that team came here, the Blankstones owned that team for a long time until it was sold -- actually the day that I was offered my job here in December of 2002 is the day that the team was sold from the Blankstones to a group called Big Game Capital. They only owned the team for about a year and then they sold it to the Los Angeles based Mandalay Sports Properties, which is the current owner."
Eventually the team went from the AA franchise in '93 to a single A franchise, which is the South Atlantic League Hagerstown Suns. "They were the Myrtle Beach Hurricanes at the time. They were a Toronto affiliate down there, and that just moved with them up here. So then we just began a run of 6 years as the Toronto Blue Jays affiliates."
Then in 2000 the team switched to the San Francisco Giants for 5 years - 2000 to 2004. Then were a New York Mets affiliate from 2005 to 2006. And now in 2007 are an affiliate of the Washington Nationals franchise. "We've kind of come full circle. Even with the three different franchises it has always been the Hagerstown Suns here," Smith explained.
To explain how an affiliate works, Smith described it to playing musical chairs except you never take away a chair. "There's a Class A, which is what we are - there are 30 Class A teams, there are 16 in the South Atlantic team and there's 14 in the Mid-West league. Essentially what happens is you have the 30 franchises, then you have the 30 major league baseball teams, so every year a few people get up, move around, and they sit in different chairs."
The Suns' home stadium is a grand old ballpark with its wooden plank bleachers and 30's style grandstand. There just aren't many of these old ballparks left. The Municipal Stadium is the 4th or 5th oldest [stadium] in minor league baseball.
Visiting the Municipal Stadium and watching the Hagerstown Suns play is like watching a game from an era long past. The Hagerstown Suns mascot is The Wooly B (previously known as Wooly Bear Caterpillar).
Hagerstown Municipal Stadium is the site of one of the greatest historical moments in baseball history. Willie Mays, one of baseball's greatest legends ever, made his professional baseball debut right on this field. He was a member of the visiting Trenton (NY Giants) team in 1950 at the time.

It's simply called Beyond the Backyard. Billed as the "coolest outdoor club for kids;" it's free for youngsters under 18 years of age. All it takes is a willing parent or guardian to take a minute to sign them up. The charitable youth foundation was started by avid outdoorsman and Charleston, West Virginia attorney, Bobby Warner.
"I am extremely dedicated to introducing kids to the outdoors. This passion has encouraged me to start West Virginia's first outdoor youth organization, which will be dedicated solely to kids and parents in order to educate them about hunting, fishing and camping."
That perhaps says it all. Members or backyard kids "will receive quarterly newsletters, have access to our Web site where they will learn about upcoming events and post photos of their outdoor adventures. They will also be able to participate in writing competitions and take part in events that will be held across West Virginia. If you are under the age of 18, I encourage you to sign up."
The foundation wants "to get children more passionate about the outdoors and help get them "Beyond the Backyard." To join online, do a simple word search under their namesake and follow the easy instructions. Or you can join via phone or ask for a mail-in application by calling 866-WV-WOODS.
The foundation is already involved locally. Christy Scott, who spearheads the program, has hosted a booth at the recent Chief Logan Hunting and Fishing Expos held at the State Park. I recently visited her at the foundation's headquarters at Warner Law Offices in downtown Charleston. She admits that competing with Lizard Lick TV's Ron and Amy Shirley was a tough act to follow at this summer's Expo.
So in case you missed your chance there at signing up a youngster or all the kids in the family for that matter, Christy would like to get the word out once again. By the way, she touted the tremendous outdoor affinities of the southern West Virginia Coalfields and would like to get more events slated down this way to boot.
Many folks may not even realize the foundation has already been helping out with the youth fishing events held at Chief Logan Scout Camp in concert with the National Wild Turkey Federation. The Beyond the Backyard folks as well as those of the scouting organizations, various youth ball sports, the Buffalo and Huff Creek Watershed Associations and others are to be commended for their tremendous efforts on behalf of the younger set.
In testament to some of the excitement generated by the backyard kids, Christy shared a recent photo of one of their members. Ten-year old Caleb Williams reported in with a 15 pound, citation-sized channel catfish! With a little help from his family and friends, he was able to land the big catch after a 15 minute battle. This kind of softened up his initial disappointment over not getting to go hunting that morning! Problems, problems…
Another youngster from Logan County confided that an action packed youth fishing event held here at the Scout Camp was definitely the best day of his entire life!

A Share in Death
A Share in Death (Mass Market Paperback)
A week's holiday in a luxurious Yorkshire time-share is just what Scotland Yard's Superintendent Duncan Kincaid needs. But the discovery of a body floating in the whirlpool bath ends Kincaid's vacation before it's begun. One of his new acquaintances at Followdale House is dead; another is a killer. Despite a distinct lack of cooperation from the local constabulary, Kincaid's keen sense of duty won't allow him to ignore the heinous crime, impelling him to send for his enthusiastic young assistant, Sergeant Gemma James. But the stakes are raised dramatically when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and James find themselves in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon who enjoys homicide a bit too much.

Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
In a market full of shocks with unlimited adjustability...this shock is a breath of fresh air.
The adjustment knobs are simple to understand, there are only 3 of them, and the rider can notice differences in performance with each click.
This is also a very durable shock. No issues after a full race season with 80% of the races being in complete slop.
The only real con with this shock is that the 2nd stage rebound requires a 2.5 mm or 3 mm hex wrench. Not a huge deal but it would be nice if it had a knob instead.
Overall this is a great shock for just about every avid rider/ racer. It's durable and has the prefect amount of adjustability for about 90% of riders. It is a very well rounded setup.
Best Uses
Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
This is mounted on a 2009 Giant Reign X (6.7 inch travel). I've used it for 1 year already and had no problems with leaks or malfunctions. I've ridden this shock at the DH trails in Kelowna, Silverstar, Seymour, & Whistler and very happy with performance. It's easy to setup, there's a quick guide on the rock shox website that really helps with choosing correct setup based on riding style.
Best Uses
Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
Super plush, highly adjustable, eats up everything in it's path. Spares are easy to source. Setup can be a chore, but once you got it spot on, terrific performance. Coils easily sourced at different weights. Can be a headache to replace or remove from your bike depending on your linkage design. (Mine's a Marin Quadlink II). Done DH, FR, AM, and even feels great for XC!

Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
Wicked plush and much better in my opimion then the vanilla, especially when paired with a nukeproof titanium coil.
Best Uses
Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
Overall the Vivid R2C is fantastic. The compression and rebound adjustments are effective. The initial setup process is very quick and easy. When set up correctly, and when its working, the Vivid works beautifully.
Unfortunately, dependebility seems to be a significant issue with the Vivid. I had it mounted for 6 months and under moderate usage it began to leak oil, thus loosing all compression and rebound control. Fortunately, RockShox seems to have a dependable warranty program going.
Overall, I would recommend this shock, especially at the price point.

Comments about Rockshox Vivid R2C:
The Rock Shox Vivid Shock is top of the range and used by many professionals, it is the best shock for its price and is perfect with no cons in my opinion. A must buy for anyone in this price range

Lubbock is an American city in the state of Texas. Located in the northwestern part of the state, a region known historically as the Llano Estacado, it is the county seat of Lubbock County, and the home of Texas Tech University.
Lubbock's nickname is the "Hub City" which derives from being the economic, education, and health care hub of a multi-county region commonly called the South Plains. The area is the largest contiguous cotton-growing region in the world and is heavily dependent on irrigation water drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer.

I absolutely love this fragrance and have been wearing it since I first found it in 2001 and get compliments always! I am so sad I cannot find a place to purchase the cologne anymore...why is that? Although the stores no longer carry it I have searched on the internet and all I can find is the shower gel and body lotion. Please advise if there are any colognes or eau de toilettes available for purchase from you or anywhere. I am about to empty my last bottle and want to find more...it my favorite fragrance of all time...clean, fresh, light...perfect for my lifestyle!

With running back Derrell Scott limited with an injury, Havelock's Taylor Woods had a feeling he might see a lot of work against Richlands on Friday night.
Woods carried 23 times for 174 yards, scoring twice, as the banged-up Rams opened the Coastal 3A Conference with a 28-16 victory over Richlands at Havelock High.
"The coaches gave me a chance and gave me the ball," Woods said. "But I have to give all the credit to the line."
Scott, who injured his back against Northside the previous week, carried just three times for 10 yards in the first quarter before giving way to Woods.
"Derrell could have played if we really needed him to play," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said. "We knew we were going to give (Taylor) the ball."
Woods broke a 7-7 tie with a 5-yard scoring run, and Dylan Baker's extra point put the Rams (6-0, 1-0) ahead for good 14-7 with 10:24 left in the second quarter.
On Havelock's next possession, quarterback Travis Sabdo went deep to Kyran Bowman for an 87-yard touchdown, giving the Rams a 21-7 advantage with 8:08 left in the second. Sabdo was 8 of 15 for 160 yards with an interception and two touchdowns.
"That was a back-breaker," Richlands coach Justin Snider said of Havelock's score. "It was a blown coverage, and we kind of fell of sleep and didn't do what we were supposed to do. It happens playing against someone of that caliber."
Havelock's Anthony Fisher then recovered a muffed kickoff, and Woods went into the end zone from 35 yards out, lifting the Rams to a 28-7 lead with 7:46 left in the second. But those would be Havelock's last points of the night.
"We've got a lot to work on, but overall, we did good," Woods said. "We just have to do our jobs. We've got to work better and work harder."
Richlands (3-3, 0-1) got a 40-yard field goal from Tolson Jeffrey to narrow the gap to 28-10 at halftime, and in the third quarter, Jamar Harrington dominated on a seven-minute touchdown drive, scoring from three yards out to cut the margin to 28-16 with 35 seconds left in the third quarter.
Harrington finished with 82 yards on 20 carries.
"I feel like we played really well," Snider said. "They're state champions for a reason. They have an excellent football team, and we're trying to build a program in year one, and to play them to a 12-point game, I feel it's an achievement."
Havelock gained possession with just more than six minutes on the clock in the fourth quarter, and behind Woods and Matthew Boykin, ran out the clock for the victory.
"We just had to keep the clock running and stay in bounds," Woods said. "Overall, we did a good job with that."
The game marked the first meeting between the two teams in the new Coastal 3A Conference.
"This was our measuring stick, playing the defending champions, and you want to know where you're at, and I feel like we had a good showing," Snider said. "I feel like maybe we earned a little bit of respect, that we're doing the right things and heading in the right direction.
"Considering we're moving up to 3A and almost played toe-to-toe with the state champions, I feel like we're on our way up."
The top-ranked Rams totaled 428 yards, including 268 yards on the ground, but Bryant said Richlands proved a good test.
"We've got a long way to go," Bryant said. "Richlands had a good game plan and played us really well. We've got some stuff we've got to fix on both sides of the ball. That's why we play the game, to get better, and we'll get better next week."
Havelock is scheduled to host Jacksonville at 7 p.m. on Friday.

text: FLORISTON, Calif. — Hillsides charred by a 2001 wildfire might finally bloom with fields of native plants this spring, thanks in part to a restoration plan sponsored by the Sierra Business Council and Washoe County.Financed by a $211,000 job creation grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the restoration plan includes funding for aerial reseeding of the Martis fire burn area.Reseeding started earlier in April, and by project's end, efforts will have dropped 16 pounds of native seeds per acre over approximately 220 acres of private land near Floriston. The planting is a dual attempt both to stave off further encroachments of invasive species and to quicken restoration of the natural landscape."The seeds are really small, and we would expect them to germinate right away given the right moisture content," said Kris Kuype, project manager with Sierra Business Council. "We have our fingers crossed."Since the hot-burning Martis fire made headlines more than 10 years ago by jumping Interstate 80 and scorching more than 13,000 acres of public and private land along the Truckee River, the landscape has struggled to rebound, local biologists said.The burned slopes are vulnerable to erosion, and native plants sprouting in the area are prone to competition from non-native, noxious weeds, according to a report by JBR Environmental Consultants. The report specifically noted musk thistle —a plant with a pinkish flower classified as invasive in areas across the entire United States — as the eminent threat to the burn area.Insects and animals that depend on local plant species do not return to areas where thistles have taken over, Kuype said.In addition to reseeding, field crews will use a variety of tactics — including the application of herbicides, hand-raking and mowing — to irradiate the invasive plants.In addition to improving water quality in the Truckee River watershed, the work provides part-time, seasonal employment for an eight-person crew.If all goes well, Kuype expects to see lasting results by next spring."Some of the seeds in the mix are for perennial plants," she said. "Next year at this time we hope to see more ground cover from the types of plants we dispersed this year."The seed mixture which will be dropped by helicopter when weather conditions are right is a combination of four grasses (bluegrass, squirreltail, wild rye and wheatgrass), five flowering plants (penstemon, buckwheat, lupine, yarrow and arrowleaf balsamroot) and three shrubs (bitterbrush, sagebrush and mountain mahogany).The area to be reseeded is not visible from Interstate 80, as it is just over the crest of the hillside.

Problem description
The usermode package contains the program userhelper which is used to control access to programs which are to be executed as root. Because programs invoked by userhelper are not actually running setuid-root, security measures built into recent versions of glibc are not active. If one of these programs supports internationalized text messages, a malicious user can use the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables (which are inherited by userhelper and any programs it runs) to create a format-string exploit in these programs. Linux-Mandrake ships an older version of usermode which is not vulnerable to this problem. Linux-Mandrake 7.2 beta contains the fixed usermode 1.36 as provided by Red Hat.

"rage" concepts and other concepts.
hello CA!
i know it's not much compared to the amounts of visuals we have in our esoteric folders, but here's two "rage" concepts showed to the press not long ago. the first one is from 2005, the second from 2006 i think.
a while ago, i got very inspired after having watched thom tenery's process and the way he managed to stock his ref sources in a very smart way.
here's what i did just afterwards. also wanted to test my reflection/radiosity skills. there's still a long way but i'm getting there.
a month or two ago, i was playing around with my older kid's lego stock. he told me that it would have been nice to take a picture of some of his pieces before putting them back into pieces. i thought he had a great idea, took small pictures of his lego creations, and then created my own. took pictures of that small spaceship, and decided to use it as a base for a small concept art experiment.
unfortunately, the perspective on this vessel can be disturbing. but it was a fun thing to test. second image is the basic shot taken on the carpet.
and finally, i took some time to test that ALCHEMY proggram two weeks ago. the thing is quite frustrating i admit, and lost a piece that i loved badly. hence why i'm a bit furious towards that prog. but it was still a fun thing to try out.
hope you enjoy

oh i enjoyed it!
awesome to see how that lego ship made such a cool painting.
August 7th, 2008 #3
YES! Those paintings for Rage are bad ass! I'm really looking forward to the game, man. I really hope they let you, Ben and Kenneth post all of your work. You guys did some brilliant stuff! Incidentally the lego idea is pretty awesome. But for some weird reason the perspective in that photo IS totally wonky. I mean I know it's right, obviously, but I can see how it was causing trouble.
Great work, man.
Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others.

Thanks for sharing these Nico!
I love the second Rage concept, looks very fresh to me. I like the definition of the architecture, like it's not all silhouettes and graphic shapes this time (while that works, it's cool to see different things from you)
The Lego process is looks like a lot of fun.
Big thanks for the inspiration!!

Haha, I can't believe you used lego, man. Ever since you popped into the chat those months ago I've been thinking about doing it myself. Just have to find where my parents keep them.
Good job on keeping the image lose yet detailed.
I like the first and the third image most because of the hue variations.
The last alchemy image is juizy too!

Fantastic work as always! I love the Rage pieces and the simple color and shape breakdowns of the Alchemy pieces. Hell I love them all! I see what you mean about the wonked perspective in the lego piece and if you'll indulge me I spent a few minutes this morning playing with it in PS.
If you use the perspective lines of the lego piece as your guide, everything else falls together. If you were trying to imply the ship pitching downwards the piece works for the most part. However if the goal was to have the ship level with the ground a couple of simple adjustments are needed. God bless the scale and distort tool!...
So as you can see, all I did was take the structure on the far right and squish it up to match the persp lines of the ship and therefore the rest of the scene. I made the loading ramp angle upwards towards the ship. In the distortion I made of your work, it runs along the X axis (left to right) instead of parallel to the ship. If it's a gantry - level with the ship - then one would match the persp lines again to coincide with the far right structure/ship lines.
Anyway at this point I'm sure I've completely overstepped my bounds here but I hope you agree with my dissection. I'm a big fan of your work and I jumped at the opportunity to help if I could
All the best,

Can't wait to see Rage and all the good concept the art team will bring to this game!
August 7th, 2008 #13
wow! Those rage concepts are just great man. Always look forward to seeing your new work.
August 7th, 2008 #14
sweet stuff as usual brother. not that the rage stuff, the radiosity test, and the lego experiment arent amazing and masterfully executed in your unimitatable style, but those alchemy onse are really really well done dude. beautiful. hope you and yours are doing well.
August 7th, 2008 #15
thanks for the rage concepts! a'm so waiting for that game, the artwork as i saw in the trailers is stunning, hope you can share some concepts later after the release. in that game your style is totally reading!
August 7th, 2008 #16
Always a treat to log on and see your work, it is always inspiring to me.
I found the lego thing funny. I have done a couple like that with my kid. he is 7 and wants to make games and movies. combines his legos with bionicles to make some ships. your rendition simply showed me how far I have got to go, but will push. awesome stuff.
I only live for today, but I'm one day behind.

I will start something with lego too, it's much more fun than use 3d softwares hehe.
I love all stuff here, can't wait for more.
August 7th, 2008 #20
magnificent stuff!
August 7th, 2008 #21
awesome stuff sparth... love it all makes me want to play with legos again!
August 7th, 2008 #22
Nice idea with lego. We used it (lego) for simple models in urban planning projects on university
I like color palette in those Alchemy paintings. Especially in the last one.
Thanks for posting.

The Unforgettable Look of Dachshund Dogs
Dachshund dogs are some of the most visually charismatic of all dogs. They're very short, and have elongated, almost tubular bodies. Their necks seem disproportionately long compared to the rest of their bodies, and their ears are fairly large and floppy. They have a goofy appearance that a lot of people find adorable. In the United States, Dachshunds have manged to remain in the top ten most popular dog breeds for a long time, which is partly a function of their appearance and partly a function of their charming personalities.
Dachshunds can also vary widely in terms of their fur types and their markings. Many people think of Dachshunds as brown dogs. However, they can have a wide mix of colors. Some of them specifically have long fur as well, which will make them look like entirely different dogs in the minds of many observers. However, the different coloring and the different fur types that people can find with their Dachshunds just indicates the fact that there can be more than meets the eye with these and other dogs.
Interacting with Dachshund Dogs
Dachshund dogs are among the most playful dogs that pet owners can find. These dogs love attention, and they will return the affection of their owners just as readily. Given their small size, it is easy for dog owners to hold them and cuddle them, which makes the affection part that much easier and more convenient. Dachshunds are easy to carry around in general, making them that much more effective as companion animals.
However, it should be noted that Dachshunds can be surprisingly aggressive. They're such small and oddly shaped dogs that their aggression can seem comical, but Dachshunds can sometimes get defensive when faced with strangers and dogs that they haven't been socialized to interact with yet. Their aggression generally isn't going to cause dog owners any problems, but it is something that dog owners should take into consideration at the dog park and when they're around guests.
In terms of intelligence, Dachshunds are fairly average by the standards of dogs. They aren't notably intelligent like standard poodles or Labradors, but they also aren't notably unintelligent like certain hounds. Owners shouldn't have a hard time with training them in basic commands, and Dachshunds have some potential when it comes to serving as working dogs.
Dachshund Characteristics
Often times, it's the little things that set certain dog breeds apart from one another in terms of their behaviors. People who own Dachshunds will quickly find that their dogs enjoy burrowing. They will burrow around outside if they are given the opportunity, and they'll try to construct their own burrows inside as well. It can be entertaining to watch for the people who own Dachshunds.
Dog owners should know that Dachshunds are difficult to housebreak compared to many other dogs. People that want dogs that are instantly going to be able to adjust to their surroundings may want to try different breeds. All individual dogs will be different, but dog breeds tend to be somewhat more uniform in personality than people might expect.
People that have children also may not want to get Dachshunds. Some dogs are going to be better around children than others, and Dachshunds don't rate very highly on that score. Children often need to learn responsibility when it comes to their dogs, and they will usually need dogs that are patient with them to a certain extent. Dachshunds aren't usually going to have the patience necessary to properly interact with children.
However, despite some of the negative traits of Dachshunds, they've maintained a certain high degree of popularity for a reason. They are some of the most devoted dogs anyone can own. The separation anxiety that they will feel without their owners is acute, and they can't wait to see their owners at the end of the day. For many people, the main draw of getting a dog in the first place is to have a creature that is extremely devoted to them, and Dachshunds definitely fit the bill. Dachshund dogs are definitely not for everyone, but they will be the perfect dogs for a lot of people all around the world.

It is important to read this first http://misterxmedia.livejournal.com/1135
More easy to read version from nowgamer:
2 articles based on this and previous posts.
1. http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1769813/nex
2. http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1769561/nex
Misterxmedia: That is a system!
Well, it was almost the same as we dag :)...there is gonna be 3x SOCs...Will it be hard to port from PC to Xbox Next? Will it be the current situation with multiplatform on 360 and ps3 but only vise versa(180 degree oposite)?
Insider: But omni is still a big jump... It has an
Apu with a fast gpu.. 4 gig of ddr3 and very much the same gddr5 ram.. Cpu cores are x86 but the bus is 256bit/ not 384bit like xbox next.. And only the main gup is full hsa.. 3.2tf console both console use stacking .. But xbox next has an extra venus soc and -alot of edram shared between chips.. We all feel -omni is more of a pc in it design .. Or more of the shelf then durango.. As durango has more modded design .better buss higher memory speeds and extra rendering tech .. Id look at durango as high level -pc and omni as a medium setting pc..
The thing about omni is it will upscale to 4k but the iq is very low in regards to durango. More res dont equal better I.Q. I can see games will scale across wii/xbox/omni with ease. But first party games and some 3rd party will look amazing on durango no doubt you will see a big difference. ;)
But sony has some good dev tools but ms is just more developed.
Insider:And knowing the industry campers on forms ... Lets clear this up!!
Microsoft has massive budget for there Kryptos Project..
And like I have said these "SOC" are only based on Pc gpus buy name and basic specs.. These are not the type of hardware you can purchase at your store.
A lot of money has been invested into these chips.. Power tdp and cooling has been the main factors in there design But also wafer density 28nm chip sizes.
The mars system "SOC" is running @600mhz there is an audio dsp on this chip and a 4 core cpu.. It has 4 cores 1 thread per core. And runs @ 1.8 ghz.. This chip does not run hot its all most identical to the wii u.. But due to the nature of the 8850 gpu. Which is not the same as the pc counter part .. Its gflops is close to 650. This chip has access to the edram and main system ram which is 4gbs of ddr4.
Now the application / real hardware .. Is based on a
venus a dual gpu design. But these are costume designed.. Also not your standard pc part.
Each venus soc ..contains a 4 core cpu which has 4 threads per core. These are clocked @ 2.4ghz.
The gpus are 800mhz with 1.5gbs of gddr5 ram clocked @ 1.2ghz. They are not clocked as high as there pc counter parts. Hense there not of the shelf parts. And do not need the tdp ether.
There gpu each have 1.2tf each. Now each chip has a hardware dsp for rendering future engines that are not possible on pc at this time.. and a hardware blitter
. Which has access to the edram and system memory.
The mars soc uses 40/70 watts
The venus are 80/110watts the external power is 300watts but we are using 230watts or that is what we believe system draw is. Or the hardware techs suggested when we spoke.
Now on paper the whole sdk is around 3.2tf. but with the blitter and dsp the system can produce around 4.2ft on paper.. Which is the second fastest chip even fast performance then starsha. As that is all most identical soc but except it has one higher clocked 8970 gpu.. No blitter no edram and the memory bus is 256bit. Starsha gddr is also 256bit. Starsha is a 3.2tf console. Hence ms design change in december 2012. They changed to
2x venus 9850 spec soc with gddr5 when it was found that sony had updated there design to have more faster ram and gpu. Also the soc in starsha is an 8 core jaguar at 2.0ghz.. But it has two threads per-core.
Like i have said starsha
or thebes is still a massive jump... now oban is not inside starsha .. Oban is the name of the blitter and buss chip that controls the 3x soc in kryptos. Its 384bit and has 550gb/s it was designed to enhance the sysyem for ray tracing and other memory heavy rendering engines "ray tracing" Starsha main design is 4k gaming.. But it will not have special hardware for ray tracing. The reason behind such different
Between the two console company's
Is sony as a whole company need the omni to drive there tv sector 4k tv's 8k but Starsha can not drive iq at 4k or 8k with the iq that 1080p or 2k will have. Yes there is up-scale. Oban is the game changer for ms. You all will see very soon with your own eyes and ears. ;)
MIsterxmedia: so, I see difficulties to achieve 4.2T performance on 2xSOC on Xbox rather than 3.2T on 1 SOC of PS4 in multiplatform games. Is that true? Porting problems ahead for xbox? Xbox will use only 1SOC because 1SOC will be on PS4 and PC or it will scale automatically to 2xSOC on xbox
Insider: starsha = 3.2tf and kryptos 4.2
It would be hard to -archive if it was not for oban design ..
I have heard starsha kits have very bad heating problems due to the gpu + soc not being specialize enough.. I think that has come down to sony not having enough money to invest in rnd.
But fanboy only want to hear what they want to hear.. And pc master race also..
The xbox360 is 8 year old tech.
A lot has happen in the tech word.
With soc design ms.ibm.amd have worked on this design for over two years now.. Oban/venus. they have included bte cpu enabled gpus.. With hsa vte.
There is so much to say but id rather people wait and see it with there own eyes.
I would never say that the gpus are 100% there pc counterparts.
They are modified. And each console has its own power and heat level.. that is why iv said this is not off the shelf hardware well starsha is but only with the gpu.
And also a lot of people are comparing starsha and kryptos by saying that starsha is more powerful well its because you are comparing them to early sdk. Sony
Starsha has been in final sdk since december.. As ms only just got kryptos out to dev at the start of this month.. Omni is in fab right now as Sony are trying to lunch ahead of of ms xbox next, which is going to mass production on the 23th of this month.
Misterxmedia: So the answer is - PS4 will be more powerful in multiplatform...
Sonyboys will do that conclusion very quickly and i see that now too. but maybe i don't understand many things...:)
Also PS4 is 8 gb and Xbox is 7 gb of RAM?
Insider: Every multi platform or 3rd party game will look better on
xbox next.. And first party games will look better then other company's offerings.
Amd cards 10000hd series will use oban enabled parts .. Its a different acratech to any card to date.. And xbox next will stay -current because of this design.
8gig.. But 1 gig is for os.. And and multi apps running behind os and also video skype chat in game feature..
This 1 gig can not be used for games.
Misterxmedia:But 1.2T GPU and 1.8T GPU is a big difference?
Is it easy to automatically use 2SOCs and make 1.2Tx2 = 2.4T GPU power?
PC offerings will continue use Nvidia 1SOC paradigm...or it wil be easy to port?
Insider: 1.2tf is old so is sony 1.8
Xbox is 4.2 omni is 3.2
Its no difference to developing for 360... The tools are highly- developed to handle the system.
And the first time you see xbox iq you will know... The winner.
The hardest part will be for studios to work with ray traced graphics enabled engines.. And its going to come down to the story and game .. There are a lot
Of factors .. We have the graphics now...
misterxmedia: No, i mean 1.2T for 1 SOC GPU in xbox(1.2x2Socs total on GPU part) as you said today and i can guess 1.8T for GPU in PS4 if its total 3.2T.
Many PC engines will use only 1 GPU on software level if only it will scale automatically....so only 1SOC for majority engines to use on xbox next?
Insider:The 2xvenus and 1x mars are design with oban controllers. These soc can work together. But they do not need crossfire..
Porting is not a problem.. Porting pc games
would be a lot easer this time...
Any part of the engine code can be sent to any cpu core or gpu dsp its very open..
due to the blitter.
Misterxmedia: ok, but i still can not see 2x or 3x xbox next more powerful. it will be interesting :) have a good day and thank a lot
Insider: can because i have seen it..
Tflops is only half the picture there is stuff in this console that will change the way we see gfx ;)
My after notes:
This was just 50% of the truth. Some reaction forced insider to say more. Read the next post to get to 80%(http://misterxmedia.livejournal.com/1141

Dickens Records Season-High 15 Kills; Women's Volleyball Remains Perfect at Home and Clinches Tournament Berth
October 21, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Senior Brittany Dickens (Raleigh, NC) registered a season-high 15 kills as Pfeiffer University got back in the win column with a 3-0 (25-9, 25-20, 25-19) win over St. Andrews in womens volleyball action on Wednesday night inside the Merner Gym. The win marks the Lady Falcons 12th-straight win in conference play improving to 16-7 overall, 12-1 in league action, clinching a spot in the conference tournament. The Lady Knights falls to 9-14, 4-9.
St. Andrews fell behind early in set one committing 15 errors in the initial set. Coming out of a Lady Knights time out, Dickens threw down her second kill of the opener giving Pfeiffer a 9-5 lead. The Lady Falcons would then go onto score eight points in a row with a kill by Dickens, Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) and a pair by Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) pulling away in a 25-9 set one win.
Vanessa Gerig (Towanda, IL) started off set two serving for the first seven points, with three aces, and a couple more kills by Dickens. Entering Wednesday nights action, Gerig ranked fourth in NCAA II in aces per set. A sloppy back-and-forth middle set saw Pfeiffer pull away slightly until a kill by Lady Knights senior Galina Podolsky (Raleigh, NC) put St. Andrews within two at 16-14. Two more late kills by Mordini along with a pair of kills and an ace by Dickens sent the Lady Falcons up 2-0 in the match.
Podolsky brought St. Andrews to within a pair again early in set three with another kill at 5-3. Podolsky and Gerig would then go on to trade kills in a five-play stretch for a 10-6 Lady Falcons lead. Four more kills by Dickens from the half-way point of set three on, helped the hosts secure a 25-19 set and 3-0 match victory. St. Andrews committed 41 errors on the night with six blocks while Pfeiffer hit .225 with 4.5 blocks.
The Lady Falcons and Lady Knights will now both step out of conference play to partake in the Peach Belt/Conference Carolinas Crossover to be played at Armstrong Atlantic this weekend in Savannah, GA. Pfeiffer opens up with the host Pirates while St. Andrews will take on Flager on Friday at 7:00 p.m.

About This Place
|Other Details
Colorado's capital is a real-world example of how to successfully weave the riches of a surrounding landscape into a thoroughly modern city. Situated between the Rocky Mountains and High Plains of Colorado, Denver offers visitors equal doses of big-city diversion and outdoor pleasure.
Top attractions in this 19th-century mining settlement-turned-thriving urban destination typically involve more than just a brush with nature. Prominent among the city's more than 200 parks is City Park. This downtown preserve of more than 300 acres has trails for biking and walking, a golf course, and two lakes that can be toured by boat. To get around, borrow wheels through Denver's public bike-share service or rent a boat shaped like a colorful pelican or duck.
While at the park, visitors can tour the Denver Zoo or Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Exhibits at the largest natural history museum in the Western United States range in topic from North American Indian artifacts to gems and minerals mined in the local area, in tribute to Colorado's past. Museum highlights include a planetarium, IMAX theater, and a cafe with sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains.
Ten minutes east of downtown lie the Denver Botanic Gardens. This popular Denver attraction for nature lovers includes a tropical conservatory and a Japanese garden where tea is served seasonally. Mix up a day among the flora with a trip to nearby Cherry Creek Shopping Center, a Denver mall anchored by many high-end retailers. The REI Flagship store in the Riverfront neighborhood is a hit among outdoor fashionistas, as is the 16th Street Mall, a popular Denver shopping center. Located in the historic LoDo (Lower Denver) neighborhood, this 12-block commercial district is lined with restaurants, bars and stores, where you will find an ideal place to people-watch and get a bite to eat.
Brewing more beer than any other urban center in the U.S., Denver earns its nickname "Suds City" in part by hosting several high-profile annual events. Denver attractions involving beer overlap in October: hops lovers can choose between a gigantic Oktoberfest that draws over 350,000 people, the regionally sponsored Beer Fest and a national festival, the Great American Beer Fest, held at the Colorado Convention Center.
Those fond of cultural pursuits can enjoy dance, music, comedy and dramatic theater all at one multipurpose venue. The expansive Denver Performing Arts Complex is home to ballet and opera companies and 10 performance spaces. The 12-acre complex offers a year-round roster of diverse entertainment.
Re-visit Denver's gilded past at Brown Palace and the state Capitol. Brown Palace is a luxury hotel that was built in the late 19th century. The opulence of the place lives on, to be savored over a cup of tea while resting on a plump couch in the lobby. The Capitol building is open to the public. Its artwork and exhibits detail Colorado's early history, amid an interior that features an elaborate rotunda and rose onyx wainscoting along the walls.
