Joystick support? =D
Hi there! I'm a huge FPS fan, old or recent (Duke Nukem 3D, Painkiller, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, Blood, Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor, Doom, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Borderlands ...). For much details, see my blog entries ;)
Joystick support? =D
As you've replaced the combat musics, where have I to place them in the gamedata folder to have custom ones, and what are the encoding requirements? Thanks :)
OK, thanks :)
Bloom? :P
Have you made the models yourself, or have you downloaded them? A link in this case?
Yeah, the engine is old and wasn't made to have such effects, sorry :/
Awesome... No word to explain...
This effect looks strange... Like if the light source has a decay, and is within the window...
Try PaySafe Card, look for a sell point around your location, it's how I'm able to buy through Steam...
Particles, lighting, skybox rework?
Works, thanks :)
I can't play 0.71, first it said an error with the .dll, I saw one time the list of servers. Installed the Microsoft package, deleted the .dll, and now when I try to browse servers it crashes all the time... Any idea?
What kind of help do you need for the left features? Coders, scripters, mappers?
The last mod I've tried for VC was Final Justice, and my game just can't start. I really can't wait for this one, it looks so awesome... How many time have you put in this project?
Read the Release Date part on the right info box.
After Postal 2's Eternal Damnation, again a great zombie mod from Resurrection Studios, copied/pasted LOTD from my XP to my 7, can't wait to download it @@
Not sure you'll have 999 ammo like in this video while fighting them, and maybe you'll not find many ammo...
Hi there,
It crashed on my system, here is the log file:
Tested on new and saved game. I've the game in french, because I haven't found something like a lang.itx file I've started it like it was after installation. I would really enjoy to have nice textures even far from player :/
Maybe he's uploading?
No problem. You could try it when you'll have much free time left? I'm pretty sure you can also get help from the Postal Community! Ask On Resurrection Studios forums ;)
No recovery possible from your dead drive? Even by specialists?
Is it me, or the release date has been switched from TBD to Coming Mar 2011?
When I throw it on ground, not problem. I said in the canyon, it explodes on an invisible surface, when flying they're moving, and when it crashes in the "invisible block brush" they still have the animation, but stop moving. I can take a vid if needed, it's the only campaign on all the ones I've tried where I encounter a such curious thing.
The difficulty is OK so ;)
Thanks for replying, will try your advices,
First, thanks for a such amazing campaign: the details are awesome! Played it yesterday form start to end, and haven't seen the time.
But... I've some recommendations:
- When you put a Bile Bomb in the canyon, the zombies don't move. It's like you were at the theatre...
- About Tank, I killed him with just 2 Bile Bombs. Saw him, his head, put on him 2 bombs, and died.
- The horde is predictable. Just a right click, and all are down. I suppose the no-music-announcing-horde is on my side, I'll try to fix it by reloading my audio cache.
- At the end, zombies has just 4 ways, and 3 where they've to climb. With 3 bots in advance, no one get hit, even by special infected.
The only "bad" point for me is the AI. I haven't mapped in L4D yet, but I'm sure something could be done.
Any comment is welcome... I hope I'm not the only guy complaining, and it's only with feedback and sometime criticism that things goes better.
Thanks for reading,
Yes. Re-downloaded, re-installed, still have the top of the furnace pink :/
For texture, you could maybe ask there:
It's a Blood TC for Duke Nukem 3D, and an High Resolution Pack is disponible, with some great textures.
It's Caleb skin and Blood Texture Pack. The tex pack is available here on Moddb, and Caleb is there:
I've a Blood mod on Doom 2, on EDuke32, on Minecraft, and now I want Source one @@

Letters: Mount Soledad cross
Here's a simple solution to this ongoing issue: Cut the bottom two sections of the cross off and set the plus sign that's left (+) on the pedestal. This would remove the religious significance of monument but retain the positive symbol as thanks for all the armed services represented. But again, maybe that's too simple. – Jim Pavlick, Spring Valley
I read so many letters about the cross on Mount Soledad. My father was killed in World War II, so I have no problem with the memorial being where it is. He was a Christian young man and fought well to protect us from the Japanese who would have loved to take us over and inflict (through force) their views on us. Americans seem to forget that.
With that in mind, I vote to keep the cross. If it still is a problem then have the letters added at the base to write out the word "thanks." Christ was probably hung on a cross that was shaped like a "T" and not a "t."
For the people who love to make problems for the rest of us, I hope they can at least be thankful for their freedom even if it came from one (of many) Christian men. For the non-Christians, appreciate the work that Christians did for you. Your sacrifice is appreciated as well and a thank-you is also well deserved.
When my father died, I don't think he was thinking about everything being equal for all of the soldiers on the beach of Iwo Jima. I hope that a nonbeliever was on the island doing his job as well and not thinking about equality.
For those who just love to complain because nothing will be right, we could put footstep marks around the cross for those who just love to march. They probably never experienced war and the work that men of other generations have done for our freedom. We don't need a universal symbol that makes everyone happy because that will never happen.
I would appreciate seeing people live out the freedom that came from the work that others have earned for you. It would help all of us to grow up and be thankful for what we have. – Susan Drake, La Jolla
Do we really need to revisit this for another 20-plus years? How about this simple solution: Leave the cross up but add all the other religious symbols as well. Too easy? – Cecile Powers, Carmel Valley
Your claim in "The court punts, and the cross stands" (Editorial, June 26), that "[t]he cross has stood atop Mount Soledad as a war memorial since 1954," is blatantly misleading and apparently an effort to frame the issue to your advantage. The Christian cross placed there is no more a "war memorial" than are the multitude of crosses atop nearly every Christian church.
The "war memorial" is located below the cross and surrounds its base. Only those who assert the dominance of Christianity would see a symbol of the profession of that faith as a religion-neutral memorial to fallen service members, many of whom are not Christian and some of whom rejected that faith during their lifetimes. – David Cohen, Hillcrest

/> Jeff McMahan also gave conflicting accounts about two pieces of expensive jewelry Phipps bought for the auditor's wife, Kaitcer said. During the second FBI interview, in June 2007, the auditor said Phipps had given his wife some earrings, but he figured they were costume jewelry worth maybe $50, Kaitcer testified. He said Jeff McMahan told him he wasn't aware of a ring Phipps bought for Lori McMahan. Lori McMahan later would tell the FBI her husband was present when the ring was given, Kaitcer testified. Kaitcer said the auditor also denied that Phipps paid the McMahans' way for the Boston trip. "Mr. Phipps is not a sugar daddy," the FBI agent recalled Jeff McMahan telling him. By the third interview two months later, the FBI had photos of the ring and earrings Lori McMahan had accepted from Phipps. Phipps testified he paid a total of $2,140 for the two pieces. The auditor acknowledged the ring, Kaitcer said. He said his wife told him she tried several times to give it back, but Phipps wouldn't take it.
Auditor 'didn't want to know' source of campaign cash, agent saysKaitcer said Jeff McMahan also saw his wife with cash, perhaps $5,000, to be used for signs during the 2002 campaign. "He said he didn't know where the money came from and didn't ask, because he didn't want to know," Kaitcer said. By the third interview, the auditor also admitted knowing that someone helped pay their way to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, but he didn't know who it was. Kaitcer said he interviewed Lori McMahan during the search of her home, and she admitted accepting cash from Phipps at least twice during the 2002 campaign. She also admitted knowing it was wrong, he testified. Kaitcer said the auditor's wife also told him she twice tried to give Phipps $1,200 to cover their expenses for a 2003 trip to New Orleans, but Phipps wouldn't take it. When pressed by Kaitcer, she told him she couldn't recall whether she really left the money on a coffee table for Phipps, "or whether I just told my husband that to satisfy him," Katicer said, quoting Lori McMahan. Kaitcer said the auditor's wife told him that she handled the family's financial affairs. As for the $3,500 she received from Phipps through an intermediary for the Boston trip, Lori McMahan told the FBI she didn't disclose it as income, "because she'd have to disclose it to Mr. McMahan," Kaitcer said.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Joseph (Joe) V. Harrick (1895-1958), Punxsutawney native and former Punxsy coach, was recently inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame.
The WVU Sports Hall of Fame honors former athletes and others connected to Mountaineer athletics.
Harrick attended WVU from 1917-1921 and is the only known 16-time letterman in WVU history.
His greatest feat was earning four varsity letters each in football, baseball, wrestling and track and field — an accomplishment unheard of in the modern sports era.
Sometimes, I wish I were around in the "Good Ol' Days."
Directly to this column's left, on Page 6, is an article that was submitted to me this week about a man, Joseph Harrick, who was recently inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame for being the only known individual in school history to earn 16 letters — a feat that is simply unheard of today.
First of all, athletes today have three sports seasons, and except for the occasional kicker-who-is-a-soccer-player, the idea of an athlete playing two sports in one season is practically extinct.

We demand of a satiric fiction so many things as to render success almost impossible. Wit, sardonicism, and laughter must blend into something that rises above mere spite. Jabs must draw blood without appearing cruel; the issues must be both timely and eternal. Add the daunting burden of every novel: to tell a captivating tale featuring real humans. Given these paradoxical criteria, it's no wonder that the number of great satires is so small. But The Fire Gospel increases that total by one, leaping gleefully over the genre's oxymoronic hurdles. From his truly creepy SF/horror excursion Under the Skinthrough the faux-Victorian romance The Crimson Petal and the White and a handful of superior short fictions, the stylistically mutable Michel Faber has seemed disinclined to repeat himself. This new book is both a delightful departure and a showcase for the author's established virtues. The story of young and ambitious antiquarian Theo Grippin and his discovery of a hidden testament from one of Jesus' lesser disciples is written with a wry, contemporary voice somewhat unusual for Faber, but the "transcriptions" of the ancient text recall his expert Victorian pastiches, and the climactic violence and captivity tropes summon up imagery from Under the Skin. These past modes recombine into an organic new whole that focuses on the insanity of religion, modern publishing, and the culture of celebrity. Theo's personal Stations of the Cross take him from a sexy publicist to gun-toting maniacs, from an avaricious publisher to vapid talk-show hosts, from a disdainful ex-girlfriend to New Age worshippers, in a comedic race across the postmodern landscape of ignorance and despair. Along with Christopher Moore's Lamb, Paul Park's The Gospel of Corax, and Gore Vidal's Live from Golgotha, this book will form part of every laughter-loving freethinker's cathechism.

Vargas leads Mariners past Indians 4-1
SEATTLE Jason Vargas threw seven innings and the top of the order provided pop for the Seattle Mariners in a 4-1 win Wednesday night over the Cleveland Indians before the smallest crowd in the history of Safeco Field.
Brandon League pitched the bottom of the ninth for his fifth straight save. Just 11,343 watched the game, setting a new record-low at Safeco Field, which was built in 1999. The previous low was 11,701 against Baltimore on May 31, 2011.
Derek Lowe (2-1) pitched 4 1-3 innings, allowed two home runs, four earned runs and walked six - one short of his career-high.
Chone Figgins and Ichiro Suzuki provided a brisk start for the Mariners. Figgins turned an eight-pitch at-bat into his eighth career leadoff home run and first of the season. It was Figgins' first home run since April 1, 2011.
Ichiro followed two batters later with his first home run of the year when he hit a drive to right-center field. That was his first home run batting third after hitting 94 batting leadoff, and one batting second, leaving him four shy of 100 career homers.
Meanwhile, Vargas zipped along. He struck out four consecutive batters, starting at the end of the third and extending through the fourth. It was part of seven consecutive retired by the left-hander.
Vargas teetered in the sixth when he loaded the bases after walking designated hitter Travis Hafner. But, he struck out Shelley Duncan with a changeup and got a groundout to shortstop from Jose Lopez.
He came back to throw a 1-2-3 seventh inning to finish a solid effort during which he allowed just four hits and a run. He struck out seven and walked three.
The Mariners tacked on a run in the bottom of the second when Jesus Montero was walked on four pitches, pushing Brendan Ryan across the plate. But Lowe was able to get Kyle Seager to fly out to left field with the bases loaded to avoid further damage.
Cleveland shortstop Jason Donald bunted Aaron Cunningham to third after Cunningham doubled to open the third inning. Jason Kipnis' sacrifice fly to center field drove Cunningham in for Cleveland's first run.
Dustin Ackley drove in Ryan with a single to center to expand the Mariners' lead to 4-1. Lowe staved off a bigger inning by getting Montero to ground into a double play.
Lowe's bumpy night ended in the fifth following a single by Miguel Olivo that put runners on first and third with one out. Lowe threw 4 ? innings, allowed two home runs, four earned runs and walked six, just one short of his career-high. It was his shortest outing of the young season.
Jairo Asencio replaced Lowe and held off the Mariners in the fifth by getting Munenori Kawasaki to pop out and Brendan Ryan to ground out on a close play at first.
Ackley played first base for the first time in his Major League career. Regular first baseman Justin Smoak sat out Wednesday because of tightness in his right hamstring. He's day-to-day after first feeling the tightness last Saturday.

Iran hard-liners urge election ban on top rivals
The deeply divided hard-line camp is also facing the tough challenge of unifying around one of the four hopefuls.
"The role of those (Rafsanjani) who signed up ... in managing the sedition is not hidden to anyone," the petition said in reference to 2009 post-election riots, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency. "His support for opponents of the system shows that the position of the president can't be delegated to him."
Rafsanjani has called for easing tensions with the outside world - in open contrast to Ahmadinejad's bombastic style - and improving the economy battered by sanctions over Tehran's nuclear program.
But Ahmadinejad has thrown his full support behind Mashaei, saying "Mashaei means Ahmadinejad, and Ahmadinejad means Mashaei."
In return, Mashaei has vowed to continue Ahmadinejad-era policies of generous government handouts despite opponents who claim they have worsened Iran's economy, which is already under severe strain from international sanctions over Tehran's nuclear program.
Khamenei, the supreme leader, has not given any public hints on the candidate he favors, but close advisers such as Velayati and Jalili are likely to have strong backing from the ruling clerics.
In a speech at his residence in Tehran, Khamenei urged Iranians to go to the polling stations next month in great numbers to "disappoint the enemy" - a reference to the U.S. and its allies - and elect a president who will be "a man of resistance."
"The enemy, while working for a lackluster vote, seeks a person who ... will take Iran toward dependence, weakness and backwardness," he said.
Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad urged the Guardian Council to allow all competing factions be represented in the vote.
"All tendencies should be represented in the election so that the nation can make it choice," he said.
Asked what he will do if Mashaei is disqualified, Ahmadinejad made a quip that alluded to Mashaei's political "long live spring" slogan.
"What good weather today," smiled Ahmadinejad. "It's one of the best spring days."

UAE challenges Iran with US-inspired confidence
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Emboldened by its close ties to the U.S., the United Arab Emirates is taking a more aggressive approach to challenging Iran over a territorial claim to three tiny Persian Gulf islands _ even at the risk of antagonizing its powerful neighbor.
The tough talk is part of the oil-rich country's push to be taken more seriously as a major global player.
For three decades, the Emirates contested the islands located in the strategic Strait of Hormuz in a relatively low key manner. But this summer, it switched tactics _ turning to tougher diplomacy to drum up support for what it calls the liberation of Arab territory from Iran's illegal occupation.
In particular, it protested the recent opening of two offices by Iran on the largest of the islands, Abu Musa.
"The continuation, since 1971, of Iran's occupation of the three UAE islands ... is an issue of central importance for us," Emirates foreign minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed told the United Nations General Assembly in his September address. The comments were the most high-level public remarks by a UAE official on the issue to date.
Abdullah's recent visit to Tehran to improve "bilateral relations" shows the UAE's willingness to talk out problems with mightier Iran. But behind the scenes, the Emirates has pressured groups like the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League to do more to help it win control of the strategically valuable territory.
It also complained to Western diplomats over Tehran's refusal to settle the dispute with an international arbitrator.
Such activism has won the UAE some Western support.
"The international community should help the UAE to make it possible that Iran understands that they are wrong and that they should sit around the table to discuss the issue," Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini was quoted as saying in the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper The National last week.
The confrontational posture is rare among the conservative Gulf Arab sheikdoms, who normally are cautious about criticizing their massive neighbor.
"They look at Iran as an expansionist, bullying neighbor, but they don't like to say it clearly," said Simon Henderson, the director of the Gulf and Energy Policy Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Analysts say some of the Emirates' newfound confidence in challenging the majority Shiite Iran is a result of the bond this majority Sunni Muslim nation has with the United States.
"With the support of Gulf nations and perhaps considerable backing of the U.S., the UAE is saying to Tehran 'Back off, behave yourself,'" Henderson said.
The islands' location in the Strait of Hormuz is what makes them appealing. Iran's Revolutionary Guards and U.S. Navy warships patrol the narrow waterway, where 40 percent of the world's oil passes through.
"The islands are strategically perfectly positioned for observations and interdictions of the Strait of Hormuz," said Theodore Karasik, a senior researcher at Dubai's Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis.
They give Iran "further land support to station boats, missiles, radars and troops in the Strait of Hormuz," Karasik said.

The growth rate shown in the table shows the yearly average increase in girth since the last measurement. This value only gives an indication of the growth rate, since every measurement could be done at slightly different heights and during different periods of the year.
Its height is exactly 23.60 m (2010, laser with Sine method (e.g. Nikon Forestry 550 laser rangefinder), Leo Goudzwaard). This tree was planted in 1919, which makes it exactly 96 years old (Steven Jansen, Oct 1, 2011).

Re: Haswell is here!
Hey all. It been awhile since I last posted
been busy with work etc. Anyways just built up a new rig. Went a i7 4770k, Maximus vi extreme etc. see sig for more details. I will post some pics soon!
Had a couple of issues when building it, the back plate for the H100i was loose so had to use some rubber washers between the plate and the mobo, worked a treat. Luckily I had some lying around that came with my old 650d case. Also had some issues with USB keyboard and mouse randomly not being detected, only a fully power off and on would resolve the issue. Anyways a BIOS flash to 0804 fixed the issue!

Jets beat Bengals 26-10 with big plays
Jim Leonhard's interception on a poor deep throw early in the second quarter was the Jets' first pick in seven games - their longest streak without one since 1979.
They used five runs by LaDainian Tomlinson for 28 yards, a 21-yard pass to Keller and a 15-yard face mask penalty against cornerback Jonathan Wade to set up Folk's field goal to open the scoring.
Cincinnati threatened following Bernard Scott's 33-yard kickoff return to its 47. The Bengals got to the Jets 28, but Palmer threw into triple coverage and Antonio Cromartie intercepted.
The Jets routed the Bengals 37-0 in the finale last season to earn a wild-card playoff berth. They went to Cincinnati and won the next week 24-14, then advanced to the AFC championship game before losing to Indianapolis.
The Bengals haven't been the same since, going from division winner to one of the NFL's worst teams at 2-8. And the Jets used that late spurt last season as a spark and currently are 8-2.
It was Cincinnati's first Thanksgiving game; the Jets are 3-3 on the holiday and have lost their last three appearances.

My Rating
It was great to be at the Seals Rock for some up close and personal experience. The weather turned out to be good, water was calm, got really close to the seals and see them play around the boat.
The penguin parade is a must do when visiting Victoria. Seeing them coming up the shore from afar, and they slowly walk back to their burrows. Those little penguins are just adorable.

This workflow allows you to quickly build/deploy Chromium for any Chromium OS device, without a Chromium OS checkout, and without a Chromium OS chroot.
At its core is the
Typography conventions
Checkout Chromium
First off make sure all preconditions are met:
Secondly, think about whether you need access to Google APIs from the executable you are building. If the answer is yes, you will need to have your keys (see http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys) either in your include.gypi, or in a file in your home directory called ".googleapikeys".
Run `cros chrome-sdk`
Run this from within your Chromium checkout (not the Chromium OS chroot):
Have you setup gsutil yet?
# Note: Replace $BOARD with a Chromium OS board name
cros chrome-sdk --board=$BOARD
The necessary environment variables needed to build Chrome (i.e.,
Note1: There are no public builders yet for non-generic boards, so you'll have to use the generic or create your own local build. Star http://crbug.com/360342 for updates.
Using a custom Chromium OS build from your Chromium OS chroot (optional)
If you are making changes to Chromium OS and have a Chromium OS build inside a chroot that you want to build against, run
cros chrome-sdk --board=$BOARD --chroot=/path/to/chroot
Build Chromium
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
cd %CHROME_DIR%/src
./build/install-build-deps.sh # Append --arm for arm targets (e.g., $BOARD=daisy)
# export GYP_DEFINES=${GYP_DEFINES//release_extra_cflags=-g/}
ninja -C out_${SDK_BOARD}/Release -j500 chrome chrome_sandbox nacl_helper
Congratulations, you've now built Chromium for Chromium OS!
Once you've built Chromium the first time, you can build incrementally just using
ninja -C out_${SDK_BOARD}/Release -j500 chrome
Tip: The default extensions will be installed by the test image you use below.
Set up the Chromium OS device
Before you can deploy your build of Chromium to the device, it needs to have a test image loaded on it.
Create a bootable USB stick
You will need a 4GiB USB stick (you can get one at the ChromeStop where you picked up your Chromebook).
For now cros flash usb:// xbuddy://... does not work. (issue 437877).
Here, replace $BOARD with and <version> with the right values. Both can be seen in your SDK prompt (e.g.
cros flash usb:// xbuddy://remote/$BOARD/<version>/test
See the Cros Flash page for more details.
Download a test image manually
Easiest way to get a test image is to let cros flash download it for you. However, if you want to download one manually, you can use the URL (where $BOARD and <version> are replaced same as above):
Googlers can navigate releases at https://cros-goldeneye.corp.google.com/console/listRelease.
After you download the compressed tarball containing the test image (it should have "test" somewhere in the file name), extract the image by running:
tar xf chromiumos_test_image.tar.xz
Copy the image to your drive using
cros flash usb:// chromiumos_test_image.bin
If cros flash does not work you can do it the old fashioned way using dd. Where the X in sdX is the path to your usb key, and you can use dmesg to figure out the right path (it'll show when you plug it in).
sudo dd if=chromiumos_test_image.bin of=/dev/sdX
Put your Chrome OS device in dev mode
Follow the device-specific instructions to
Install the test image onto your device
IMPORTANT NOTE: Installing Chromium OS onto your hard disk will WIPE YOUR HARD DISK CLEAN.
Connect device to corp network
To do this you will need a USB-to-ethernet dongle (you can find these at the techstop).
Deploying Chrome to the device
To deploy the build to a device, you will need direct ssh access to it from your computer. The scripts below handle everything else.
Checking the IP address
This also works both before and after login. Another option is to run 'ifconfig' from the shell (Ctrl-Alt-t -> shell) after guest login.
Using deploy_chrome
Just type deploy_chrome from with your chrome-sdk shell. It will use rsync to incrementally deploy to the device.
Specify the build output directory to deploy from using
cd %CHROME_DIR%/src
Tip: Specify the
Other than the normal system output in
Commandline Flags and Envvars
If you want to tweak the command line of Chrome or its environment, you have to do this on the device itself.
R37 (and newer)
Edit the
R36 (and older)
Edit the
Debug build
A debug build of Chrome will include useful tools like DCHECK()s and debug logs (DVLOG(), etc.). To build a debug version of Chrome, pass Debug instead of Release to ninja:
ninja -C out_${SDK_BOARD}/Debug -j500 chrome chrome_sandbox nacl_helper
Remote GDB
On the target machine, open up a port for the gdb server to listen on, and attach the gdb server to the running chrome process.
sudo /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1234 -j ACCEPT
sudo gdbserver --attach :1234 $(pgrep chrome -P $(pgrep session_manager))
On your host machine (inside the chrome-sdk shell), run gdb and start the Python interpreter:
cd %CHROME_DIR%/src
gdb out_${BOARD}/Release/chrome
Reading symbols from /usr/local/google2/chromium2/src/out_link/Release/chrome...
(gdb) pi
Note: These instructions are for targeting an x86_64 device. For now, to target an ARM device, you need to run the cross-compiled gdb from within a chroot.
Then from within the Python interpreter, run these commands:
import os
sysroot = os.environ['SYSROOT']
gdb.execute('set sysroot %s' % sysroot)
gdb.execute('set solib-absolute-prefix %s' % sysroot)
gdb.execute('set debug-file-directory %s/usr/lib/debug' % sysroot)
gdb.execute('target remote 22.214.171.124:1234')
If you wish, after you connect, you can Ctrl-D out of the Python shell.
Extra debugging instructions are located at http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/debugging-tips.
Additional instructions
Updating the version of the Chrome OS SDK
When you invoke
IMPORTANT NOTE: Every time that you update Chrome or the Chrome OS SDK, it is possible that Chrome may start depending on new features from a new Chrome OS image. This can cause unexpected problems, so it is important to update your image regularly. Instructions for updating your Chrome OS image are above in Set Up the Chromium OS device.
Specifying the version of the Chrome OS SDK to use
You can specify a version of Chrome OS to build against. This is handy for tracking down when a particular bug was introduced.
cros chrome-sdk --board=$BOARD --version=3680.0.0
Once you are finished testing the old version of the chrome-sdk, you can always start a new shell with the latest version again. Here's an example:
cros chrome-sdk --board=$BOARD
Updating Chrome
Tip: If you update Chrome inside the
git rebase-update
Using clang
cros chrome-sdk --board=$BOARD --clang --make
Then run these commands to build with make, where
cd %CHROME_DIR%/src
make -j1000 chrome chrome_sandbox nacl_helper
Note that Make files are spread through the source tree, and not concentrated in the out_$BOARD directory, so you can only have one Make config running at a time.
Updating Deployed Files
Since the gyp files don't define which targets get installed, that information is maintained in the chromite repo as part of Chromium OS. That repo is also integrated into the Chromium source tree via the DEPS file.
In order to add/remove a file from the installed list:
Chromium OS > How Tos and Troubleshooting >

Ask 12-year-old Haruna Koike if she'd like to return to the United States someday and you won't get a detailed answer. But as a wide grin spreads across her face, her eyes seem to twinkle, and she responds with an emphatic, "yes," you get the idea.
Koike is a student with States' 4-H International Exchange Programs who's spending 3.5 weeks with Hillsboro Safety and Service Director Todd Wilkin and his family. The experience is one the family's three children won't soon forget.
"It's like having a sister I always wanted, and a best friend," 11-year Weslie Wilkin, the only female of the Wilkin children, said. "I hope to continue our relationship when she gets back to Japan."
Eight-year-old Saxen said, "It's really fun being with her. It's like someone sleeping over at our house for a long time. It's pretty fun having her around. I get a lot of chuckles each day when I ask her questions and how she responds with a different accent. She's faster than me, and probably smarter than me."
Even 3-year-old Nolan is enjoying the visit. Todd said Nolan asks Koike, who brought a Nintendo DS along with her, every day if she can help him get to the next "world."
The 4-H Summer Inbound programs are offered through OSU Extension and bring youth to the U.S. from Argentina, Costa Rica, Finland, Japan, Korea and Norway to stay with host families for a few weeks. Each family must have a child in its home that is the same gender and approximate same age as the guest.
"This is such a positive program for youth to be involved with and for families to bring international culture into their homes," said Kathy Bruynis, OSU Extension county director 4-H youth development educator.
Todd's wife, Bethanie, said the family hadn't heard about the program until she received a random email saying host families were needed. They talked about it, thought it sounded like a neat idea, then asked Weslie what she thought. She said, "Yeah, let's do it," Bethanie said.
Koike is from Chiba, Japan, about an hour from Tokyo. But Bethanie said that Tokyo is so large than Chiba is actually like a suburb. She said a typical family of three from the area lives in an 800-square-foot home.
So, Todd said, it was a bit of culture shock with Koike saw the Wilkins' Lynchburg home. "She can't grasp the openness and the other thing is that coming over here I think she expected to see us all in cowboy hats and riding horses," Todd said.
He said it's been fun trying to communicate with her. Koike takes English classes in Japan and seems to understand a lot of what's being said, but doesn't speak the language very well. She can translate single words on her DS, and the Wilkins have used iPad and Smartphone translation programs to communicate with her. While she doesn't speak a lot of words at a time, she seems to be pretty good with one- or two-word zingers.
For instance, Todd said, when they came out of Walmart the other day he decided to do a cartwheel and Koike said, "You crazy."
Another day, after the family and Koike had shucked lots of corn, and even though they were done, Todd asked if she wanted to shuck more. "She got up and said, 'Goodbye,'" Todd laughed.
The Wilkins said gift-giving is a large part of the Japanese culture and that they received gifts from Koike the first three days she was with them. The gifts include bamboo fans, snacks from Japan, a Japanese version of a Matchbox car, tiny puzzles that Saxen said are about the size of marshmallows and take tweezers to put together, origami, paper balloons, wooden games, drinking mugs and more.
Koike made a couple lunches of seaweed soup and sticky rice for the Wilkins. Todd said the kids liked the sticky rice, but were kind of scare of the seaweed soup.
Not long after the Wilkins picked Koike up they asked what she wanted to do in America.
"She said whatever you want to do," Todd said.
They asked if she wanted a boyfriend and received a definite "no."
Koike likes playing on the Wilkins' trampoline and swimming, eats mostly what the Wilkins eat (except she doesn't like cheese chunks), visited Newport on the Levy and saw fireworks, and likes the piano, something she has in common with the Wilkin children.
In fact, the Wilkin kids have an upcoming piano recital in Milford and Koike is going to play a duet with them.
Koike has a pet beagle back home, loves Charlie Brown comic books, and is in a running club.
Shortly after the Wilkins picked her up they had to go pick up chicks for a 4-H project. They said Koike took to them right away, but after they grew a couple weeks older she said, "Big, not cute."
Todd said Koike has experienced a lot with his family. She goes to church with them on Sundays and Wednesdays, and even sang with the childrens' choir ("She can't really sing the songs, but can sing the notes," Saxen said.), has got a Frisbee stuck on the roof of the Wilkins' home, accidentally broke a badminton racket, and takes lot of pictures, including of what she eats.
In Japan, Koike goes to school all but six weeks out of the year. Her normal school days are 11 hours long and she goes to school six days a week. Basically, Todd said, a Japanese mother does all the chores and the childrens' job is school.
When Koike arrived in the U.S. she went through a couple days of orientation with other kids from Japan before she met the Wilkins. Todd said it was interesting to see how quick the exchange students bonded with their host families. He compared it to U.S. families adopting a child from another country.
"I never really understood that feeling … I have this responsibility of having a child," he said. "It's been a good experience for our home."
Before she arrived in the U.S., Koike had already communicated with the Wilkins. She said her goals were to sing and dance with her host family, create a picture album, and draw some illustrations.
Asked how she'll feel when Koike leaves, Weslie said, "Sad. I'll miss her. But I'll still be able to write to her."
Koike said she'd like to return to the United States again, and Bethanie said she has an open door at the Wilkin home.
"She's been a trooper and has seemed to really enjoy trying everything," Bethanie said. "Haruna has been a great blessing and a very good helper around the house. She helps with chores and eats mostly whatever we eat – except cheese chunks."

Bikini Photos of AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, and Jessica Lowndes on the Set of 90210 in LA

AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, and Jessica Lowndes raised their ice cream cones as a toast as they filmed some beachy scenes for the second season of 90210 in LA on Thursday. AnnaLynne rocked a shiny pink bikini while the Jessicas stuck with cute one-pieces. Noticeably absent from their Summer celebration was their costar Shenae Grimes, though it's not a big surprise after the falling out Annie had with her classmates on the season finale.

I luv this because it's the three I like without the very annoying, very untalented Shenae Grimes. I don't luv AnnaLynne McCord, but I do luv both the Jessicas; and I agree that Jessica Lowndes looks really beautiful in that outfit and with the long hair (actually, if you look at pictures of her on imdb; she is insanely beautiful). and of course, my favorite is the stunning Jessica Stroup. I gotta say, as much as I think this is one of the dumbest, most poorly written shows on tv; I'm excited about the next season...

Serena Williams's Wimbledon Comeback Ended by Marion Bartoli
June 27 (Bloomberg) -- Defending champion Serena Williams lost to France's Marion Bartoli in the fourth round of Wimbledon, ending her comeback after almost a year away from tennis because of injuries and illness.
The 29-year-old American, a four-time champion at the All England Club, was beaten 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) by the No. 9 seed on Court 1. It was her earliest defeat at Wimbledon since 2005.
"To beat Serena is almost like a dream come true," Bartoli told the British Broadcasting Corp. shortly after the match. "Serena is very imposing, is a huge opponent over the net. I was trying to stay in my own bubble, trying to forget who I was playing."
Williams won last year's tournament, and then lost almost a year, dropping out of the top 10 last month and is now ranked 25th. Because of her success on the grass courts in London, she had been seeded No. 7. Serena and her older sister Venus, who could only have met in this year's finals, have won nine of the last 11 Wimbledon singles titles. After today's loss, Serena's ranking is projected to drop to around No. 180, according to the women's WTA Tour.
Williams was trying to equal Germany's Steffi Graf in winning three straight titles at the All England Club. It was her earliest loss at Wimbledon since a third-round defeat in 2005, and she's the first reigning women's champion to lose before the quarterfinals since Amelie Mauresmo of France in 2007.
Four Match Points
Moving Williams all over the court from the start with her ground strokes, the double-handed Bartoli took the first set 6-3. In the second set, both players held serve until 5-5, when Bartoli broke as the American hit a backhand volley wide on breakpoint. In the next game, Williams saved three match points as Bartoli served. In the tie-break, Williams saved a fourth match point with an ace at 5-6. Serving for the match leading 7-6, Bartoli moved to the quarterfinals with a service winner.
"It was not easy mentally," Bartoli said. "But I am in the best shape of my life and I'm playing the best tennis right now."
The Frenchwoman produced ten aces, two more than Williams. Bartoli struck 21 winners and made 17 unforced errors, while the American had 29 winners and committed 20 mistakes.
No. 7 seed Williams had only returned to the women's tour a week before the start of Wimbledon. She lost in the second round of a grass-court warmup event in Eastbourne, England, to now third-ranked Vera Zvonareva. Bartoli, a 2007 runnerup at Wimbledon, had won the Eastbourne event.
Shortly after beating Zvonareva in last year's Wimbledon final for her 13th major, Williams hurt her foot after walking through glass in a restaurant in Germany. The injury required two operations, and then came treatment for blood clots in her lungs in February. Williams had been sent to hospital by her physiotherapist when she had difficulty breathing while on her way to a party in Los Angeles.
The week before the start of Wimbledon in Eastbourne, she described her condition as "possibly career-ending" and even "life-threatening."
In an interview in Eastbourne, she said the experience changed her outlook on tennis and life.
'Toughest Moment'
"I think my toughest moment was just mental," she said. "I went through so much and I thought, 'Will I be able to play tennis again? Do I even want to play tennis again, or do I just want to get healthy again?' That was the first and foremost thing on my mind."
Bartoli, 26, was the runnerup to Serena's older sister and five-time champion Venus Williams in 2007 at Wimbledon. It's the first time she's beaten Serena Williams in three tries. She's ranked ninth by the women's WTA Tour after winning at Eastbourne and reaching the finals in Indian Wells, California, and Strasbourg. Earlier this month, she reached the French Open semifinals.

China blames separatists for knife attack; 33 dead
Saturday, March 1, 2014
KUNMING, China (AP) — China's state media says more than 10 assailants slashed scores of people with knives at a train station in the southern part of the country, drawing police fire, in what authorities are calling a terrorist assault by ethnic separatists based in the far west.
Thirty-three people were killed and 130 wounded.
The official Xinhua (shihn-wah) News Agency says police fatally shot four of the assailants , arrested one and are searching for the others following the attack late Saturday at the Kunming train station in Yunnan province.
Witnesses describe attackers dressed in black storming the train station and attacking people indiscriminately.
The attackers' identities were not yet confirmed, but Xinhua quotes the municipal government as saying evidence at the scene shows that it was "a terrorist attack carried out by Xinjiang (shihn-jahng) separatist forces." Authorities consider it to be "an organized, premeditated violent terrorist attack."
The far western region of Xinjiang is home to a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule by separatists among parts of the Muslim Uighur (WEE'-gur) population.

Audio Book (CD)
From the author of The Three Weissmanns of Westport, a wise, clever story of New York in the ''60s
It''s 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned, and Lady, whom Fin hasn''t seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging ''60s. He soon learns that Lady--giddy, careless, urgent, and obsessed with being free--is as much his responsibility as he is hers. So begins Fin & Lady, the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, the author of the bestselling The Three Weissmanns of Westport. Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the ''60s, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War--Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself. From a writer The New York Times has praised as "sparkling, crisp, clever, deft, hilarious, and deeply affecting," Fin & Lady is a comic, romantic love story: the story of a brother and sister who must form their own unconventional family in increasingly unconventional times.

Corvallis Public Library, 645 NW Monroe Ave. on Wednesday, January 21, starting at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7:00. This special event is free and open to the public.

MORAL GROUND: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril
Edited by Kathleen Dean Moore and Michael P. Nelson, Foreword by Desmond Tutu
Although climate destabilization is a scientific and technical issue, it is primarily a moral issue. MORAL GROUND gathers the testimony of one hundred of the world's moral leaders, all calling us to honor our responsibilities to the future.
"Could there be a more pressing book topic than the fate of humanity?"
– Utne Reader
WILD COMFORT: The Solace of Nature
With stories about kayaking in a snowstorm, wading among salmon in the dark, and cooking breakfast in the desert, Moore offers readers a profound meditation on the healing power of nature.
"In its grounded wisdoms, humility, curiosity, and in the kaleidoscope beauty of its descriptions, Wild Comfort reminds how to see, how to sing; how to welcome, with equal gravity and grace, whatever asks entrance into our lives. It is destined to become a classic."

The project, which will replace the Reppi site, is being opened to international tender for the second time
The Addis Ababa City Administration (AACA) is making a second attempt to find an international contractor for the close to one billion Birr landfill destined to replace the Reppi site, which has been in use for half a century.
The site, to be constructed by the city's Cleansing Management Agency's Solid Waste Recycling & Disposal Project Office (RDPO) and expected to cost 920,491,022 Br, will occupy 137ha of land in Chebe Woregenu at Sendafa, in the Oromia Special Zone.
The city made a first invitation for international contractors on June 16, 2014, but it had to be cancelled after only one company, from France, responded. A minimum of three bids are required for the city to open the offers, says Tsegaye Hailu, communication head for RDPO.
The construction of the landfill is planned to benefit Addis Abeba, as well as Sululta, Lege Tafo, Burayu, Sebeta and Gelan towns in the special zone.
The Reppi site is now under gradual closure by a Norwegian company called ECOCOEN. So far, 19 ha have been closed; on seven of these, a company called Cambridge Waste to Energy is constructing a 158 million dollar plant to generate 50 megawatts of electricity a day.
The construction of the landfill site at Sendafa includes fencing, 9.5 km of asphalt access road with a bridge and four transmission sites - at Reppi, Akaki, Filidoro and Bole Arabsa.
Melcoln Construction will make the road for 292,226,543 Br, with Omega Consulting Engineers PLC consulting on the project. The expected completion date of the road construction is April 5, 2015. The fencing was completed on August 6, with four million Birr by Mesti Engineering Construction; the consultant for this part was Elugi Consults. Both are local companies.
The Reppi site had been an open site.
The landfill is planned to serve for 25 to 30 years, Tsegaye says.
The site selection, and the physical and feasibility studies were conducted by Addis Abeba University (AAU), and Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HOA-REC&N), before the city government took the area for construction.
Farmers that have been relocated from the site have been paid 25 million Br in compensation, considering the potential output from their farms for 10 years, Tsegaye said. The construction of the landfill will be looked over by Artelia, a French Engineering company, with the consultant being an Ethiopian company called Metaferia Consults.
Other infrastructure, such as offices, sanitary rooms and generator houses, are to be constructed by China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC).
The RDPO has 185 workers and in the fiscal year 2013/14 planned to get 1.3 million Br of service charge, achieving 1.2 million Br.
Addis Abeba is home to about 3.5 million residents, and the Oromia Special Zone towns - Burayu, Sebeta, Lege Tafo, Gelan and Sululta - have a population of 195,277, as a study conducted by Artelia indicates. This number is expected to reach 7,054,291 and 720,532, respectively, in 2035.
The new tender will remain open until October 14, 2014.

text: The resolutely tall and striking American actor Peter Hermann boasts a resumé that reads like a best-of American television series during the '90s and 2000s. After playing Dr. Michael Burke on the soap Guiding Light for two years (1997-1998), Hermann often appeared on various popular shows not as a mainstay, but as a guest star or a several-episode fixture. These included Law & Order, Spin City, Sex and the City, and 30 Rock. Hermann also played the recurring role of Trevor Langan on the hit drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. On the set of that program, Hermann met actress Mariska Hargitay, whom he married in 2004; the two had their first child about two years later. Hermann took his first significant cinematic bow in 2006, when he portrayed Jeremy Glick in the broadly acclaimed, gut-wrenching 9/11 drama United 93. In 2008, he took on the regular role of Davis Draper, the ex-husband of one of the main characters on the prime-time drama Cashmere Mafia, but the series lasted only seven episodes. Over the next several years, Hermann would prove to be a constant force on screen, appearing in Edge of Darkness, Just Wright, Our Idiot Brother, and Too Big to Fail. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

For years, there's been a popular conception that men are intimidated by intelligent women.
Thus, these women are less likely to find a man who will love them, let alone get married and have a family.
Dr. Christine B. Whelan shatters that myth in her new book, "Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women."
She proves that smart, successful women marry at the same rates as other women, assuring millions of American SWANS (Strong Women Achievers, No Spouse) that they have no reason to doubt themselves.
With sound research and sage advice, Whelan tells intelligent women why they have the upper hand in the marriage market -- and in every other arena of life.
Overqualified for Love?
Imagine, as newspapers and magazines recently have, the "plight of the high-status woman." She is a well-educated young woman in her 30s, earns a good salary, and has a great social life -- but she is single and is worried that her success might be the reason she has not met a man to marry. Any hint of bad news about the successful or talented has always made headlines, but media pessimism about the happiness and life balance of millions of young, career-oriented women has struck a chord nationwide.
The purported "news" was never good: Smart women are less likely to marry. Successful men are romantically interested only in their secretaries. And if a woman makes a lot of money, men will be intimidated. Conservative and liberal pundits alike mythologized the failure of feminism and the "waste" of these talented women who were searching for soul mates.
For a generation of SWANS -- Strong Women Achievers, No Spouse -- these myths have become conventional wisdom. If you attended a good school, have an impressive job, have career aspirations or dream of future success, men will find you less attractive. "I've been told by well-meaning relatives: 'Don't talk about work on a date, dumb it down, and it's bad to earn so much money because guys will be scared of you.' And I got the word 'intimidating' a lot," said Alexis, a 35-year-old lawyer in San Francisco.
She's not alone. Nearly half of single women believe their professional success is intimidating to the men they meet. Put another way, many high-achieving women think their success is not helping them find love. Some 66 percent of SWANS disagree with the statement "My career or educational success increases my chances of getting married."

"I was out with two friends from residency recently and I asked one of the married guys if he had any single friends to set me up with. He said, 'Oh, I get it, you're one of those super-smart superachievers that scare the men off.'"
