A.A.A. Modpack v.0.0.5 (Full Russian Version)May 30, 2015 A.A.A. Full Version 0 comments
Mod: A.A.A. Developer: lambdist and modders Version: 0.0.5 (Alpha)
In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.
It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s.
About Old Good STALKER Evolution with 32 comments by KamikaZzeRu on Feb 18th, 2015
As you already know, we are now in the open beta testing of 0693 version. Today I want to tell you the news about the OBT and the mod's further development.
First of all, as it turned out, the release of OBT version was a very good idea, indeed. Since at the last stage of the beta development our QA was carried out by only two persons, after beginning of OBT russian speaking players immediately identified a large number of issues relating to the mod, as well as remaining problems of the original game. Thanks to those beta testers and our advanced debugging tools, we collected adequate statistics and debugging info on all of these issues and managed to locate and repair most of them. The debugging continues today, beta testers getting full technical support and daily updates, and I hope when we release a full version, it will be the most stable mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R among of all existing game modifications, including the original game itself. Here is a short list of problems (only ones from the original game), which we managed to fix thanks to the open beta test:
1. Fixed most of the CTDs of type "error in stalker with visual" - the cause of these crashes, as it turned out, was in the game engine. At some point in the development of the game GSC developers had completely changed the principle of characters animation, dividing animations for the legs and torso apart. However, some number of routines in the engine wasn't changed according to this, and in some situations these routines were called and tried to assign to the NPC no longer existing animation cycles with the names by the old patterns.
2. Fixed all of the CTDs of type "e_parent && e_entity" - their cause was also in the original game's engine, they arose from the fact that several object deletions routines was not checking the existence of the object at all, which led to crash as a result of erroneous deletion tries of already non-existent objects.
3. Fixed all of the CTDs of type "Invalid graph point neighborhood" - the reason was in the engine, too. Due to a bug in the pathfinding routine the engine periodically searches for ways and can not find a route, which leads to CTD, while all it had to do is invalidate the path and restart the search process. This in fact looks like the engine's developers just forgot to remove from release some purely debugging features that are not required anymore.
4. Fixed one of the oldest problems of the original game - CTDs during removing of cartridge packs from corpses. As it turned out, when NPC is dying, the game engine for some reason is cleaning out all their cartridges for the main weapon from the inventory. Exactly the same thing at the same time is being done by the postmortem script loot manager. That causes the problem when the same clip is sending to removal procedure twice - first by the game engine, and then by the loot manager, resulting in ambiguous situations that caused CTDs.
5. Fixed the old CTDs of type "error handler is invoked! 804", which stretches through many different game modifications, occurring in the mods including AI scheme for throwing grenades during the battle. If the player presses F key to take some object they get this CTD. The reason was simple - AI scheme used a special sighting grenades invisible for player to determine the fact of successful throw. These grenades just haven't one critical parameter - necessary object name.
6. Fixed the problems with the change of actor's visual after dressing outfits. The problem was purely in the engine; the code for changing visuals was incomplete and contained many dirty hacks, which led to many problems.
7. Fixed a problems with invisibility of attachable objects in cases where the NPC is already activated one of them. The most famous example - a Wolf's radio, which is not visible when the conversation was happening at night - due to the fact that he has active flashlight. Again purely engine's problem - as it turned out, the code of activation of attachable objects in the engine is as well incomplete and contains dirty hack, which resulted in fact that the NPC could have only one attachable object active.
8. Fixed a big number of problems of the original game related to the scripting part of the game: assigning roles for works in the camps, patrol AI scheme, campfire AI scheme and many others.
In addition to these problems, there was a lot of our own issues, the correction of which are underway. But in general, we are very pleased with the reviews of beta testers. According to them, we managed to do that nobody has been able for a long time - to do a S.T.A.L.K.E.R SHoC interesting and playable again. As they are saying, the main factors is primarily an advanced artificial intelligence and new locations with lots of quests and additions to the main plot, and also new graphical features. New autonomous combat AI have something to surprise even the most experienced players, AI behavior schemes are polished to become much more real and work more accurate, and locations and quests deserved the praise for atmospheric and organic inclusion in the game world. We do not use a template approach or restore the old style of the plot - the most striking locations, such as Darkscape and Dead City have been implemented completely differently from planned in early game builds or in any other modifications. Graphical improvements, on top of everything else, make old SHoC look much better than Clear Sky or Call of Pripyat.
The biggest news - we found a talented developers to work on a weapons part of the mod. At the same time, it seems we will be able to fully utilize our special weapon add-ons framework, long ago realized, but not used due to the lack of weapons models.
This framework implements interchangeable weapons addons, that would mean that in our mod you can now put on a weapon with a few sights of different types, and different underbarrel devices - not only grenade launchers but also the masterkey-like shotguns.
The same thing can now be flexibly implemented for weapons magazines to make upgrades for them and many other add-ons. The new team of the weapons developers had already adopted a common hands standard and began work on main weapons.
First of all, we doing the weapons of the Warsaw Pact, and with them we release a full modification. After that we will make an additional package with weapons of NATO countries. The English version, as we plan, will include both weapon lines out of the box. In addition, we found a talented developer of NPC visuals. Now he has corrected most of the problems of vanilla game's visuals, such as for example the twisting wrists of newbie stalkers, and now working on two serious reduxes - complete redesign of the military personnel and exoskeleton wearers.
Both should eventually become a lot more believable and detailed - it has long lacked, since almost no modification for them is ever done. We, the developers of engine and scripted part, are now actively working out existing problems and shortcomings, and planning additions that we can add and debug before release.
In general, the development is very active now, testing is also actively moving and at this moment 0693 are tested by at least a thousand people, and with this wonderful potential we have every opportunity to make our mod the best of all time in the history of S.T.A.L.K.E.R SHoC modifications. Only thing we need for this now is to have enough free time.

Es wurden CTDs gemeldet im Secret Lab beim Radar. Die Ursache meine ich gefunden zu haben. Ich hatte den CTD auch, habe ein wenig gebastelt und jetzt...
Unfassbar, aber wahr: Ich habe es endlich geschafft mir ein wenig Zeit für diese Mod zu nehmen. Ein kleines Update bringt ein wenig frischen Wind in...
Beta version is ready for testing. Part 3. I did antivirus scan. Installation info in the last part. This part is with patch.
The last part with installation info about MP, Credits and Readme.
Hello, i need some advice on choosing a mod, that does a complete overhaul, someone recommended complete, but I tried it, made the game a bit to easy, others suggest Autumn Aurora , and AMK, LURK and ZoA. Need some advice please.
If you play Autumn Aurora 2 you'll never use another mod. It's the best looking mod and like the other person said it's pure enhancement. Which to me is a good thing cause it keeps the core gameplay but makes it look up to date.
Totally agree, AA2 all the way.
Secret Trails 2.
Try ZoA or LURK, autumn Aurora it's almost pure graphical enhancement for my taste.
Thanks for the reply :)
Hi guys, i really need some advice.
New to modding, but having followed all the tutorials to the letter, i still cannot get the mod pack 2013, or autumn aurora 2 to run with my version. I have tried them both seperatly only. Mod pack 2013 loads the menu but crashes when i select new game. Starts to load, get "fetching objects" then crash, with a bug report, xr3_da error. Have seen people with the same issue but cannot find a fix. Autumn aurora will not even load stalker. I can run a clean game, but whenever i add the mods, it wont load up. Changed the notebad value like im suopposes to, did a regedit so i could try both with version 1.0004. No Joy. PLEASE CAN ONE OF YOU MORE EXPERIENCED SAINTS HELP ME!!! thankyou xx
I had problems with AA2 too. For me the regedit wasn't enough.
If you dig around on here you should find '1.0006 to 1.0004 downgrader' files and a NoDVD replacement for the engine.
Do you use Steam? Stalker in Steam doesn't work with sweetfx (it's in the FAQ).
You need 1.0006 version only to run those mods. The startup error is most likely sweetfx. If you want sweetfx (which is not necessary imo) copy all sweetfx related files from bin folder to the main folder of stalker so that both folders have the sweetfx folder and files.
daca se tot fac atitea moduri si se doreste un joc realist de ce se mai da optiunea in joc la 4 grade de dificultate? Si n-ar fi mai bine sa se uneasca toti si sa faca un singur mod?
I just wonder why all mods requier patches.Why can't there be a mod for normal version(1.0 or whatever it was).Every time I install this game I have to patch it and then install these mods.
And every time I ask myself why isn't there a mod,like Autumn Aurora 2(which is so awesome congrats to Vanderer),compatible with 1.0?
But in the end this was worth patching the game...
Because in all honesty, STALKER V1.0000 is utter hell. It's really, really buggy and doesn't serve as a good modding platform. Take ZRP as an example, see what NatVac changed to fix the game up. Loads and loads of bugs have been fixed.
It is but I wonder why can't it be fixed for original version(v1.0000).
Sorry I'm not that good in English so I can't exactly explain what I want to say...I hope you understand.
Oh I know what you're trying to say. Well, that's because those changes were also made to the engine and that was updated. The engine update actually determines the patch number, not the gamefiles :)
Very, very few people have version 1.0 anymore; the most common method of getting the game nowadays is Steam, which used to give 1.0005 and now gives 1.0006.

Voices of Autism: Hearing the 'R' Word
Every day throughout April–Autism Awareness Month–we will be featuring a different reader-submitted story about living with autism. Today's story was written by Laura Shumaker, mother of Matthew, 24, and author of the blog www.laurashumaker.com.
My son Matthew, who has autism, is a huge Beatles fan and asked me if we could go to the music store to buy a "Revolver" CD. He was wearing plaid shorts, a different patterned plaid shirt, white socks and work boots.
"You might want to change your shirt," I said. "Your plaid shorts would look even better with a plain shirt."
"I look good," he replied, "and we're not going to talk about it anymore."
When we entered the store, Matthew saw an entire rack dedicated to Beatles music, and ran over to it exuberantly, bumping into another customer-hard. He apologized profusely as the customer shook his head.
"What are you," the customer yelled, "a retard or something?"
"I give up," Matthew replied passively.
I guided Matthew to the cash register, careful not to make eye contact with the irate customer. Matthew has always been socially awkward, and while I'm well practiced at unfortunate public scenes like these, they still upset me. I was grateful that at least this time, Matthew seemed oblivious to the conflict.
As we drove away with his music, I convinced myself that Matthew didn't know that the guy at the music store had insulted him. I shared the story with the rest of my family, and they laughed. "Thank God he didn't get it," they said.
But when I put my head on my pillow later that night, I knew that on some level that Matthew did get it. God only knows how many times he has heard the "R" word.
I thought back to the time when I was a teenager, and I laughed at a weird boy at summer camp who was walking funny, rocking, and flapping his hands. The boy's brother, who was also at the camp, saw me laughing and glared at me, deeply hurt.
I'll never forget it.
I'll bet that as soon as that guy at the music store blurted out that awful phrase, he realized that the woman with Matthew was his mother. He would have apologized if he had the chance. I've already forgiven him.

Horrible. Isn't it?
How sometimes until we are in "those shoes" that we don't realize how far the hurt reaches.
I'm glad your son wasn't hurt by the incident and proud of you for finding forgiveness so quickly.

I used that word as a child, just like everyone else, as a joke. Now it's no laughing matter. I have to tell people my autistic son does not have mental retardation. But honestly, I think he has social retardation, and it is brutal on me. All we ever want as mothers is a kid that bounces around having a great time in life. Autism kids have anything but a great time because of all the conflict. Eventually, the do just fine as an adult, like Matthew did here.

My son is recovered after 7.5 years of intensive intervention, so those encounters are now a pretty distant memory – but my experience with autism has forever changed the way in which I view and treat other human beings. I guess that's why our family was touched by the disorder. We now have a greater empathy for others regardless of their challenges. I hope the guy in the record store can come to this realization without ever having to experience ASD in his own life.

The other day I was at the community center with my 21-year-old, non-verbal son with autism. We had to walk past the area with the "tough guys" who play pool because my son had to go to the bathroom. The "tough guys" started to laugh and make comments, until they saw me–who was making direct eye contact, daring them silently. They shut up. We walked past. I felt good. This is part of being my son's advocate. You don't mess with my kid. Ever.

@Mary Mck, People don't usually say social retardation or mental retardation about their own son… I find it weird that you say that.
Search spread the word to end the word. It's to stop this word; the R word, from being used. So, if your talking about your own son… You can say he has a disability but you don't have to say the r word

My daughter and I were recently at the Mall and Kiki walked in front of an older woman briskly, the older woman turned to her mother (even older and following behind in a walker) and said, "Fat and Rude!"
My feelings were hurt and thankfully Kiki had no idea of this woman's rude comments. Too bad everyone can't just take a breathe and assume the best in each other. Thanks for sharing your story, we should all just take the time, to breathe first.

I heard the "R" word when my son was 3.. The doctor was afraid of the "A" word. Nothing infuriated me more.
In your situation I would have explained to the man that my child was autistic and apologized. If he continued to be irate I would have told him to kiss my a$$ and some other choice words. I have no tolerance for ignorance.

@Dee, the words "retard" or "retardation" literally mean "(to) slow/delay" or "slowed/delayed," respectively. In and of themselves, the words aren't offensive; it's the context in which they're used that can be hurtful. They're still used in the scientific and medical communities, as in, "to retard the growth of bacteria in the petri dish…" I don't think that Mary was being inappropriate. I consider MYSELF to be "socially retarded" because the circumstances of my childhood didn't permit me to develop my social skills in a "normal" fashion.
I'm not being snooty or snippy with you by telling you this; a lot of people don't know that the words weren't originally intended to be used as a put-down. Please don't be offended. (And, if you ARE offended, it might be the result of my "social retardation"; plenty of times, I've tried to say things to folks with no intention of being offensive whatsoever, and it backfires. I'm not always astute at knowing how people will take the things I say. It's kind of a perfect example of the term, now that I think of it!)
That said, I agree with you that the words are used as insults far too often and I cringe every time I think about my ASD son being called The R Word by mean kids when he gets older.

Massachusetts has banned the "R" word and I wish other states would follow.
Growing up in the 79′s and 80′s was altogether different than the times now. We ALL used the "R" word back then. Now, I cringe when I hear it and I politely ask people to "not use the "R" word around me or anymore if they can help it.
My son, 13 is also autistic. He wouldn't know an insult if he heard one, or so I thought. One day he overheard a friend of mine call someone the "R" word. My friend knew better and it slipped out; as he too has autism in his family. My son then turned to me one day and asked if 'my friend was calling him that word'. I came to tears. I just wish people would realize the hurt and pain this one word can cause.
The only thing we can do as parents and others who are affected by autism is continue to spread awareness.

After encountering an Aspie at work (with whom I am good friends) I looked up details on Asperger's to discover that I myself possess a remarkable number of Aspie traits. I approached an MHMR-specialist friend of mine (who works with Aspie adults to coach them thru college) to reveal my findings — and she nodded knowingly, but offered that I'm a fairly high-functioning sort.
I use the R-word myself, a lot, and even knowing that I might be perceived as a "retard" by a presumptuous public, I could frankly care less. I recognize insults sent my way, but public perception of my metal acuity is not something I'm particularly concerned with, in the slightest. They could call me a swizzleberry snarfgaggle, or a m-f'in b-tard, and it would make no difference.
From my angle, getting snippy over quite possibly the least insignificant slight someone could preset you (an insult), is silliness beyond reason. It's not that I don't have emotions or can't recognize emotions, but instead seems pretty obvious that most emotional reactions are steeped in futility. I can't count how many times my mother, who seems to me as unreasonably preoccupied with public perception, and I have had the conversation resembling:
"Don't you know that he just insulted you?"
"I'm aware that he tried, but it's nothing."
"Well I'm offended."
"You're offended that someone unsuccessfully tried to insult me? Would the proper response have been to get upset? Or to get upset quietly and pretend you weren't? Should I appropriately get myself all up in a huff and be grumpy for the rest of the day about how a complete stranger made an ignorant remark? Or so I ignore it and be done with it?"
Clearly, the man in the store didn't actually insult him, and the mother felt insulted despite not even being the one to whom the insult was pointed. In order for an insult to sting as it is intended, a reaction from the person it is directed must be evoked. Your son's non-reaction made the intended insult lose its power.

Matthew is lucky to have a mother like you!
My son Beckem is 6 and has Autism, and the other day at school a couple of kids took his shoes and he told me they laughed at him. I just cried and talked to the school. I teach all of my children to be kind to one another and that it is completely unacceptable to make fun of another child. I don't know why it's not important for some parents to teach there kids the same. I pledge to never say the "R" again!
by Casey
On April 10, 2011 at 1:45 pm
To the above response (Mike): You do NOT get to decide whether someone else feels insulted. If you don't feel you are/were insulted they good for you. However you absolutely don't get it. You just don't get it. How could you be so narcissistic?
I will have to repeat myself, sorry. YOU DO NOT GET TO DECIDE IF SOMEONE ELSE FEELS INSULTED! You say the man didn't insult him is the same is your opinion but you cannot say with any certainty that he did not. YOU don't think he did. Good for you. Perhaps you do have Aspergers but that is not a license to use derogatory terms yourself or decide what is an insult or not. Insensitivity can be a character trait of those with Aspergers and you definitely have that.
If you use the word "retard" then you are 100% part of the problem and ZERO percent part of the solution. Disorder or no disorder.

On April 10, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Casey, I suspect your attempt to criminalize my response may inadvertently criminalize the author's response.
I think it's just as criminal to say that someone else is actually insulted — without even knowing whether they are or aren't — as it is to say that someone isn't insulted. Both cases are attempts to reach a conclusion of an hypothesis but skipping experimentation. Both mine and the author's remarks were obviously speculative.
In the same way that I can't say whether someone feels insulted (which I didn't), nor could we legitimately say someone actually is insulted, without asking them. Obviously lacking the ability to ask the son whether he was or wasn't, saying that he wasn't insulted is as identically dastardly as suggesting that he really was.
by Joy
On April 10, 2011 at 2:33 pm
I understand that the word Retard originally is not meant to be a label, but when it is, that's when it's used inappropriately. It's sort of like the difference between being called Autistic and saying someone has Autism. You showed great patience and tolerance of that guys ignorance. I would have probably told him off.
by Jeronimo
On April 10, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Just because your child doesn't appear to "get it" doesn't mean he/she doesn't understand… They still hear it all and most likely remember it longer than anyone else. I have seen and experienced children on the spectrum who recant a story much later. Even nonverbal kids have typed out that they have heard it all and have simply been listening. Make it known that the other person's heart is obviously impaired.
by Mimi
On April 10, 2011 at 2:34 pm
My 17-year-old, now homeschooled daughter was called "the retard" so often from 5th grade on that it was shortened to "'Tard." Everyone called her that. The day a high school teacher admitted to having done it was, shall we say, a turning point.

And I see it as one of the beauties of Autism, at least with my son. Chances are, much like it seemed with Matthew, that he would be oblivious to the comment. It is something that I try to teach my other children. Mean things that people say to us only have the power that WE give them. If somebody says something and it isn't true then it only shows there ignorance.
Yes, as parents it can be hard to take if we are unable to remove the meaning of words said by the ignorant. In time we can progress to the same level.

I hear the word "bully" way too often. My son just turned seven. A parent from school called me to tell me that my son gave her son a black eye in line after recess. The school states there was a situation at recess where my son was throwing sand and my son was brought in before the class lined up to come inside. The parents did not believe me and kept calling my son a bully. They said the school was covering it up as they are short staffed. They have no clue about Autism.

Sometimes people can be really thoughtless, but we can all hope that later on they will reflect upon what they said, or did, and realize how hurtful they were, then learn some compassion from it.
Hopefully the next person with special needs they meet will benefit from their thoughtless moment.
I personally don't pay a lot of attention to the looks my 12 year old son with autism may receive… Thankfully no one has been cruel enough to say something like that to his face.

The man at the music store obviously was the "R" not Matthew. But people will never learn from their stupidity unless we the parents of these amazing people with Autism (not Autistic) as they are people 1st. Stand up and educate them. I have been in the store my son having a fit the cashier advising me that a good swat on the but would fix it. So I picked up my 3 year old and handed him to her told him he had autism and if she thought that could fix it I would pick him up the next week. Needless to say she was in panic mode. From that point on anytime I saw her I made sure we used her line. Sometimes we just need to make a point

I know a number of Aspie Beatle fans and believe me, that is a demographic that is not as rare as one might think.
Good on you for forgiving the irate customer. Good on the brother of that long-ago camper who got his message across and, unwittingly taught compassion and acceptance.

So this makes me sad. Not only sad for my son but for our family and friends. My son is young and gets away with many things. In due time, it will all catch up to us and I ask myself how do I explain that without tears, fear of rejection or anger of others. I am always up for a challenge, but I will be so sad and upset if someone said anything like that to my son or anyone just because everyone is unique and needs to be them selves.

I was at my moms recently and her husband commented that my son needed to be on pills. All because my son was playing with tos and my step dad was tired. I feel he has it turned all around. Someone my need pills but its not my son. How rude of him. Its hurtful to hear your child be insulted and I hate to see him hurt.

I can relate to a certain degree of this. I am 20 and have AS. In school I was called the "R" word amongst other things and it certainly isnt easy or nice to deal with. I guess the difference here is I'm generally well aware when someone insults me and would quite happily give them a glare or as such if I don't even know them. Many people have regarded me as 'different' and when I was younger I didnt understand and found it much more difficult. I understand I have it pretty easy compared to others as I have minor Asperger's but it doesn't mean I don't encounter these issues or struggle to comprehend certain things, like people's body language and what not. Anyway, I'm glad your son didn't seem to be to bothered by that man's insults as such. People don't understand certain things until they've experienced it themselves.

I know how he feels, and how you feel. I was born with autism, I didn't understand when people were being mean, but now I wish I could go back to that time. I've been called retarded and much worse on a lot of occasions. It is sad to say but after a while you become numb to the words, you either get so used to it you believe it, or it just doesn't hurt anymore. I know what you're talking about, I'm sorry that it happened to your son.

I have always told my daughter: Never allow others to define who you are. My daughter was diagnosed with PDD over 20 years ago. She is now considered to have asperger's. She has dealt with many ignorant people over the years — some were children her age and some were adults. I have intervened when necessary, but sometimes I have not been able to do so. She has finally realized that it is THEIR lack of understanding that makes them ignorant. She IS NOT the ignorant one. Luckily, there have been some very nice people in her life as well. She almost has her college degree. She did not allow the naysayers to have the last word. But then again, she takes after her Mom — LOL. I always get the last word!

Matthew is plainly a connoisseur of the fine arts if he is a Beatles' fan! Revolver was one of the most serious albums ever recorded. George Harrison wrote some serious songs on that one, "I Want to Tell You" being his best with the Beatles.
I, too can relate because let's just say I've had my share of adverse experiences with intolerant people.
If I had been there, I would have been talking about the Beatles to Matthew. See, any excuse to talk about the Beatles and share in some Beatle joy with another zealous fan works for me.

I was just talking to a parent this morning about her decision for where to send her daughter to school next year. She is currently in my elementary special ed classroom. Her options next year would be a special ed classroom in a gen. ed. Jr. High or our district's center based program that is completely special ed. her daughter is lower functioning and very socially unaware. Her mother is worried about sending her to the regular Jr High for fear of her being teased or picked on and unable to defend herself. I totally can respect her fears. As much as we try to educate and help others empathize, kids & adults are still human and we all have our faults, often at others' expenses.
Good luck with your son.

Could I simply say such a alleviation to find person who essentially realizes exactly what they are discussing on the web. You definitely have learned to take a major issue to light and allow it to very important. More people should read it all and understand this section of the story. I can't believe you are not more popular because you obviously have the gift.

PNR: This Old Marketing with Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose can be found on both iTunes and Stitcher.
In this week's episode, Robert and I marvel at the flurry of new content-based agencies announced this week at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We talk about their business models and ponder the challenges they are likely to face. We admire commercial real estate giant CBRE's new print magazine, which has some solid strategy behind it. We close with a discussion of television, which seems to be enjoying a renaissance of late, despite many predictions of its demise. Rants and raves include the messy and confusing Cannes awards program and what content marketers can learn from a millionaire's advice (no, really!). We wrap up the show with a #ThisOldMarketing example from Tablespoon by General Mills.Continue Reading

Pretty good stand up, every day hero kind of guy right here. I spend about 90% of my time wondering what my dog is doing and then imagining cute little outfits I can dress him in. One of those statements is a lie.
I try to act with class and respect and decency with all things I do in life but mostlyyyyy just fail miserably -- most days I am a grumpy, overly judgmental old man but somehow still cool shit and also a kitten face softy so I dunno, make of this what you will. I just try to be on your side when it comes to girls. Support team style. Why we gotta complicate the simple things?
Anyways, if you've got most of your teeth still in your mouth and have had minimal plastic surgery and have a minimal third grade reading comprehension level and have a minimal of time served in jail of under ten years AND if you still read the NY Times on a Sunday and if you're working on your PHD or something smartie pants and if you can talk about those things in a way that makes me want to smile, then I'd love to speak with you, move some mountains, cleave some oceans, do the head over heels in love thing, absolutely. Or maybe just eat some really good cheese cake or french toast while arguing about which Indiana Jones movie is best (Temple of Doom). That works.

dear friends,
I'm trying to convince myself about necessity of Nikon 85/1,4 AFD, and my conclusion is that it is not. I've enough lens and there is no reason for another one, I say to myself.
But this one!
Please, tell me something of negative, ghastly and grisly, about this lens which I found second hand but practically new.

BSO to Perform CASABLANCA's Full Score, 6/12-14
Conductor Emil de Cou leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) in performances of the full score of the 1942 romantic drama, Casablanca. This wartime film chronicles one man's (Humphrey Bogart) decision between being with the woman (Ingrid Bergman) he loves, or aiding her escape with her husband from the Moroccan city of Casablanca to lead a resistance against the Nazis. Its enduring musical score by the Academy Award-winning Max Steiner, whose credits include the music for Gone with the Wind, features well-known ballads like "As Time Goes By," "Perfidia" and "It Had to Be You." Performances are Thursday, June 12 at 8 p.m. and Friday, June 13 at 8 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. The performance can be seen again on Saturday, June 14 at 8 p.m. at The Music Center at Strathmore. Please see below for complete details.
A celebrated American film deserves a classic American cocktail, so the BSO has partnered with Baltimore-based bartender Ginny Lawhorn of the Landmark Theatre Harbor East on crafting a Casablanca-themed drink, The Gin Joint Rickey, to be served at the following "gin joints:" Sticky Rice Baltimore, Tapas Teatro, Landmark Theatre Harbor East and at Seasons 52, in North Bethesda, Md. They will be served beginning May 21 at participating partners.
Patrons attending performances at the Meyerhoff and Strathmore will also have access to a full menu of gin-based drinks evoking the classic charm of Casablanca: We'll Always Have Paris, a variation on the French 57; The Usual Suspects, a "punched up" gin punch; and The Gin Joint Rickey, a twist on the Gin Rickey, the official drink of our nation's capital.
Patrons attending the concert at Strathmore on Saturday, June 14, 2014 will have the opportunity to attend "One Night in Casablanca," a Moroccan-inspired Party on the Patio. Patrons may also purchase a special VIP package which includes box seats, valet parking, unlimited classic cocktails crafted by Baltimore-based bartender Ginny Lawhorn, access to an exclusive VIP Lounge, and a post-show champagne toast with conductor, Emil de Cou. More info at BSOmusic.org.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 1/25/13
MINNEAPOLIS As he endured the effects and setbacks from his concussion, there were times when retirement crept into Justin Morneaus mind. The Minnesota Twins first baseman was injured midway through the 2010 season and missed the rest of the year. He wasnt the same player in 2011 and again struggled to stay healthy, playing in just 69 games. Last season was a different story, as Morneau was able to stay on the field for 134 games. By the end of 2012, the concussion was no longer an issue. He had minor offseason wrist surgery but otherwise enters this spring with a clean bill of health. Yet while Morneau no longer has to worry about concussions, there are other questions looming about his future. Namely, his contract, which is up at the end of the 2013 season. "I'm already pretty set in my life," Morneau said Friday at TwinsFest when asked about his contract situation. "It's one of those things where I've been through enough. I know that I love the game. I missed the game when I ...

Article: Quantitative detection of RASSF1A DNA promoter methylation in tumors and serum of patients with serous epithelial ovarian cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Detection of cell free tumor-specific DNA methylation has been proposed as a potentially useful noninvasive mechanism to detect malignancies, including ovarian cancer, and to monitor response to treatment. However, there are few easily implemented quantitative approaches available for DNA methylation analysis. Our objectives were to develop an absolute quantitative method for detection of DNA methylation using RASSF1A, a known target of promoter methylation in ovarian cancer, and test the ability to detect RASSF1A methylation in tumors and serum specimens of women with ovarian cancer. Bisulfite modified DNAs were subjected to real time PCR using nondiscriminatory PCR primers and a probe with sequence containing a single CpG site, theoretically able to capture the methylation status of that CpG for every allele within a given specimen. Input DNA was normalized to ACTB levels detected simultaneously by assay multiplexing. Methylation levels were established by comparison to results obtained from universally methylated DNA. The assay was able to detect one methylated RASSF1A allele in 100,000 unmethylated alleles. RASSF1A was methylated in 54 of 106 (51%) invasive serous ovarian cancers analyzed and methylation status was concordant in 20/20 matched preoperative serum-tumor pairs. Serial serum specimens taken over the course of treatment for 8 of 9 patients showed fluctuations in RASSF1A methylation concomitant with disease status. This novel assay provides a real-time PCR-based method for absolute quantitation of DNA methylation. Our results support feasibility of monitoring RASSF1A methylation from serum samples taken over the course of treatment from women with ovarian cancer.Gynecologic Oncology 09/2011; 123(3):581-7.

Article: Imprinted expression of the canine IGF2R, in the absence of an anti-sense transcript or promoter methylation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Imprinted genes are epigenetically modified in a parent of origin-dependent manner, and as a consequence, are differentially expressed. Although the evolution of genomic imprinting is a subject of intense debate, imprinted genes have been studied primarily in mice and humans and in a small number of marsupial mammals. Comparative studies involving rodents and primates are of limited value, as they belong to the same superordinal group of eutherian mammals (Euarchontoglires). On the other hand, comparisons involving marsupials may not be informative, due to phylogenetic distance. Canis familiaris belongs to Laurasiatheria, a sister-group of Euarchontoglires, and should prove useful in comparative studies of imprinted genes. Using RT-PCR we demonstrate monoallelic expression of the canine IGF2R in several tissues, including uterus and umbilical cord. In the case of umbilical cord, we identify the expressed allele as maternally derived. The canine IGF2R is thus an imprinted gene. Using bisulfite sequencing, we show that the canine IGF2R resembles the imprinted mouse Igf2r in having a CpG island in intron 2 that is hemi-methylated. However, it differs from the mouse gene in that maintenance of the monoallelic expression of canine IGF2R does not require expression of an anti-sense transcript from the paternally derived allele, or methylation of the repressed IGF2R promoter. In these two important features, the imprinted canine gene resembles the imprinted opossum IGF2R. Our data suggest that these features were properties of the ancestral imprinted IGF2R and that the anti-sense transcript (Air) and promoter methylation observed in mouse are derived features of the mouse Igf2r locus.Evolution & Development 11/2007; 9(6):579-89.

Article: Frequent IGF2/H19 domain epigenetic alterations and elevated IGF2 expression in epithelial ovarian cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Overexpression of the imprinted insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF2) is a prominent characteristic of gynecologic malignancies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IGF2 loss of imprinting (LOI), aberrant H19 expression, and/or epigenetic deregulation of the IGF2/H19 imprinted domain contributes to elevated IGF2 expression in serous epithelial ovarian tumors. IGF2 LOI was observed in 5 of 23 informative serous epithelial ovarian cancers, but this did not correlate with elevated expression of IGF2 H19 RNA expression levels were also found not to correlate with IGF2 transcript levels. However, we identified positive correlations between elevated IGF2 expression and hypermethylation of CCCTC transcription factor binding sites 1 and 6 at the H19 proximal imprint center (P = 0.05 and 0.02, respectively). Hypermethylation of CCCTC transcription factor sites 1 and 6 was observed more frequently in cancer DNA compared with lymphocyte DNA obtained from women without malignancy (P < 0.0001 for both sites 1 and 6). Ovarian cancers were also more likely to exhibit maternal allele-specific hypomethylation upstream of the imprinted IGF2 promoters when compared with normal lymphocyte DNA (P = 0.004). This is the same region shown previously to be hypomethylated in colon cancers with IGF2 LOI, but this was not associated with LOI in ovarian cancers. Elevated IGF2 expression is a frequent event in serous ovarian cancer and this occurs in the absence of IGF2 LOI. These data indicate that the epigenetic changes observed in these cancers at the imprint center may contribute to IGF2 overexpression in a novel mechanistic manner.Molecular Cancer Research 04/2006; 4(4):283-92.

Health Care
Rudy is giving an excellent answer on healthcare talking about free market principles. He is having his best outing in awhile. UPDATE: McCain also defends free market principles. Romney says his plan didn't require new taxes and says we can get everyone insured. Ron Paul pipes up so none of the opponents get a chance --will they go there?-- to point out the new $900 penalty for those who don't self-insure in Mass. Without prompting Romney says "I like mandates." Thompson finally makes the point: the state requires you to buy and asks Romney the penalty. Romney refuses to answer. [Hint: The answer is $900.] Thompson makes the point that Mittcare doesn't just force high income earners to self-insure. Romney defends on the "pay their own way" argument. Romney said he wouldn't mandate at federal level. I guess the small government people need to find a standard bearer.

Bike Repair Station Now Available on the Kent CampusPosted Jul. 8, 2013
Located on the Kent State University Esplanade, between the Kent Student Center and the Kiva, is a Dero Fixit Station, which is a bike repair station. The station provides a repair stand that can hold most bikes, an air pump and basic tools for minor adjustments, and is free and open to members of the Kent State community.
There also is a QR code on the station. If you have a repair that you are unsure of, you can simply scan the QR code, using a smartphone, for troubleshooting repairs.
The Dero Fixit Station was installed about a month ago. Currently, there is one station to test the amount of usage it receives.
"So far, the Fixit Station has been extremely well-received on campus," says David Herpy, outdoor adventure coordinator for Kent State's Department of Recreational Services. "This is just a small way for us to be a more bicycle-friendly university."
Herpy expects dozens of uses per day of the Fixit Station.
The Dero Fixit Station was funded by the Department of Recreational Services and the university's Sustainability Office.

Uber Inc. said it had raised $1.2 billion in additional funding from investors that valued the on-demand car service at $18.2 billion, among the highest valuations ever for a venture-backed startup.
The eye-popping valuation, following weeks of competitive bidding among mutual-fund managers and venture-capital firms, underscores investor interest in the so-called sharing economy, where users sell time or resources to others. Uber connects drivers and riders through a smartphone app. It also highlights many investors' belief that Uber can expand the service into the backbone of a logistics and delivery network.
The latest funding round was led by three mutual-fund managers: Fidelity Investments, which invested about $425 million; Wellington Management, $209 million; and BlackRock Inc., $175 million. Four venture firms also participated, according to a person familiar with the matter: Summit Partners, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures.

Gluten-Free Diet
What is a gluten-free diet? A gluten-free diet is an eating plan that helps you get the nutrition you need from foods that do not contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Some vitamin supplements and medicines may also contain gluten. Gluten may cause health problems for people with celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, and wheat allergy. You will need to avoid many grains, pasta, cereal products, and processed foods on this diet.
Which foods do I need to avoid? The grains and ingredients to avoid are found in many foods such as flour, bread, pasta, cereal, cakes, and cookies.
- Do not eat foods that contain the following:
- Barley, rye, bulgar, semolina, and triticale
- Wheat, including wheat flour, white flour, gluten flour, graham flour, high-protein flour, and pastry flour
- Wheat varieties such as kamut and spelt
- Wheat bran, wheat flour, wheat germ, and unnamed food starches
- Oats that are not labeled as gluten-free, unless your dietitian has allowed you to eat a small amount
- Malt extract and malt flavoring
- Barley, rye, bulgar, semolina, and triticale
- Processed foods that may contain wheat, barley, or rye include the following:
- Gravies and sauces made with flour
- Rice mixes, most canned and dry soup mixes, and soup bases or bouillon mixes
- Breaded meat, fish, or poultry
- Packaged meats made with flour, such as cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages, or imitation meats
- Some French fried potatoes (especially those in restaurants)
- Snack foods such as potato chips, tortilla chips, and pretzels
- Foods made with hydrolyzed, hydrogenated, or texturized vegetable or plant protein (HVP or HPP)
- Gravies and sauces made with flour
What can I eat and drink on a gluten-free diet? Choose foods labeled as gluten-free. You may be able to eat gluten-free oats, or you may be able to eat regular oats in small amounts. Ask your dietitian if oats are safe for you to eat. You may also eat the following foods:
- Foods made with gluten-free flours, such as potato, rice, soy, nut and tapioca flour
- Brown, white, and wild rice without sauces, and rice products, such as rice cereal and rice cakes
- Corn products, such as cornmeal, corn flour, corn tortillas, corn cereals, and popcorn
- Corn starch and potato starch
- Arrowroot powder, millet, amaranth, buckwheat, hominy, quinoa, and tapioca
- Fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables
- Nuts, seeds, legumes, and fresh or frozen meat and fish
What is a sample diet for 1 day?
Breakfast: Soft boiled eggs, gluten-free toast with butter, and milk
Morning snack: Gluten-free rice cakes
Lunch: Tuna salad with tomato and lettuce, and an apple
Afternoon snack: Carrot sticks
- Dinner: Broiled chicken, baked potato, green beans, and sorbet with strawberries
What can I do to make a gluten-free diet part of my lifestyle?
- Learn to read food labels. A dietitian can show you how and work with you to make this diet a regular part of your life. Include a variety of allowed foods so that you can get all the nutrients you need.
Always read the ingredient labels on products before you buy any packaged food. Gluten is found in many foods and drinks. It may not be clear which foods contain gluten. As a general rule, avoid all foods that contain wheat or wheat-related grains. Avoid foods and drinks that contain rye, barley, triticale, and possibly oats.
- Keep a list of items allowed on this diet in your kitchen to remind you of the foods you may eat. Carry a list of items allowed on this diet with you when you are away from home. Ask the waiter, chef, or host how the foods and drinks are prepared. Ask if any of the ingredients, foods, or drinks on your list are in the meal.
What are the risks of a gluten-free diet?
- Some gluten-free foods are not fortified with extra vitamins. You may have low levels of nutrients, such as B vitamins and fiber, if you do not eat a variety of foods.
- If you do not follow this diet, gluten will cause problems in your small intestine if you have celiac disease. You may not get the nutrition your body needs because you are not absorbing nutrients from food. You may lose weight and continue to have bloating, diarrhea, and stomach pain. If you have dermatitis, your skin condition may worsen. You may have an allergic reaction to the foods you eat if you have a wheat allergy. This may include a rash, sneezing, watery eyes and nose, itching, swelling and hives. An allergic reaction may cause life-threatening trouble breathing and unconsciousness.
Where can I find more information?

P.O. Box 31700
Omaha , NE 68131
Phone: 1- 402 - 558-0600
Web Address: http://www.csaceliacs.org
When should I contact my caregiver? Contact your caregiver if:
- You must take a medicine or vitamin that contains gluten.
- Signs and symptoms of your condition seem to be getting worse.
- You are losing weight rapidly, without trying.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care? Seek care immediately or call 911 if:

Do any inversion of control / dependency injection framworks support viewing the object dependencies that have been registered? This is not to execute the code, but to better understand it. It seems that a graph based on the information it has (class A depends on B and C, class B dependencs on C and E, etc) would really document a system well.
I'm using Castle Windsor at the moment, but wouldn't mind trying a different framework for this functionality.

As Islamophobia grows across the world, it can sometimes be difficult for people to find ways to discriminate against Muslims in places that promote religious freedom. Rather than accepting a diversity of faiths in their community, however, some of the less-than-tolerant leaders instead choose to find "creative" (and usually flawed) reasons to circumvent the Constitution and ban mosques. Here are five disheartening examples of communities attempting to keep Muslims out:
1. Turn Down That Music!
As the proposed Islamic Center of Clermont proceeds through the grueling process of receiving local approval, Ray Goodgame, a city council member for Clermont, Florida has a novel approach to blocking the application: pre-emptive noise complaints.
"[Muslim's] wailing may become a nuisance to many," wrote Goodgame. "There are other people who live within hearing distance of the property. I don't want them to destroy the community with their music."
Considering that "wailing music" is not a common complaint against the many other mosques across the country, this "reason" seems like a veiled way of saying "we don't want your kind in our town."
2. It's Not Discrimination If They Want You Dead
When a proposal for a mosque outside of Nashville caused a controversy, presidential candidate Herman Cain gave a confusing explanation as to why he supported banning the construction: the First Amendment's religious protections don't supersede a community's ability to make decisions for itself.
"They are using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their mosque in that community and the people in the community do not like it, they disagree with it," said Cain. "I'm simply saying I owe it to the American people to be cautious because terrorists are trying to kill us."
I suppose once you've exaggerated the threat on your life, may logic and the Constitution be damned.
3. Mosques Are Way Different Than Churches
Kevin Grantham, a Republican Colorado state Senator, believes that there is an important distinction between churches and mosques: churches are strictly for worship, while mosques try to spread to other parts of life.
"Mosques are not churches like we would think of churches," Grantham said. "They think of mosques more as a foothold into a society, as a foothold into a community, more in the cultural and in the nationalistic sense. Our churches – we don't feel this way, they're places of worship, and mosques are simply not that, and we need to take that into account when approving construction of those."
Huh? I don't know what fantasy version of America Grantham is living in where churches are only for worship. I seem to recall church-sponsored social events, ministers endorsing political candidates and a constant push to declare the United States a Christian nation.

I assume almost all religions stray into preaching to the masses at sunday mass......I was always blown away by the church of the creator types in hayden lake Idaho in the early 90s.....talk about a shining example of good old American home grown terrorists-neo-Nazis.....what a bunch of whack jobs.....!......religions getting hijacked for hate speech rhetoric is a human time honored and practiced tradition......that we let it happen is a subject for discussion!
Femia C., it seems to me that with all of the hate and intolerance you are spewing about religion in general, you are no different than what you criticize. You want to be free to choose not to be a part of religion, but you don't respect others right to choose to be religious of their own free will. You have written against the religious freedom that has made it possible for you to write against religious freedom. Now that's irony. It is also hypocrisy.
Roopak, Sorry, I merely meant in mosques in the usa, eur-union and countries that want to become members of that union. There are restrictions here and there. But since mosques are not only used as places to gather, there are all kinds of activities, in which women and girls participate. The title of this discussion suggests we are talking about the western world.
But Farther East ... (well, uh, our queen went into a mosque in Saudi Arabia) .. it is as if women are non-existing as human beings. So, no rights at all.
But also there, religions are more about culture than about religion-in-itself.
Religions take from cultures what they need, to "appease" people. Then they turn norms and values into (though) rules and laws to keep their followers under their influence and power.
In a far future, when millions of people have killed each other over bogus reasons, maybe someday, ratio will win. When gods will be proven bogus and acceptance of equal rights will be the norm for all (women, children, gay, disabled, men).
But then again, when I weigh the length of life of earth against human occupation, I put my two cents on the planet.
It is of great value that we can speak out freely here, and I am very aware of that and grateful for that everyday.
But I am not going to follow the bogus reasons to build bogus houses anymore. Although I spent my first four years in a japanese prison camp, haiku is more my thing ;-)
Best to you all, and thank you !!
Dear Femia,
In many countries around the world women are not allowed to enter mosques.
My question, therefore, was to get facts and not in any way to to discriminate against women, but rather to find out whether women had any rights in your area of the planet, and to not see women discriminated against.
So keep your burquah on! :)
Thank you Noreen. Yes, freedom is freedom and should be for all.
My take on any religion or ideology is that bogus and phobia are their thing; that freedom and equal rights are not.
It is disturbing that in 2013 religious leaders still have the law at their side, when feeding bogus to their followers, who don't think twice and believe and feast on the lies.
To me, believing in a non-existing allmighty being or following an ideology is a disgrace to the human mind.
Roopak. Of course women are allowed to enter a mosque.
I am always surprised by talks on tv where people talk about the good sides of a religion with phrases like: oh, but women are allowed to.... women can do....
Phrases like that are in itself proof of discrimination against women.
Where I live, women and men have there own sides in mosque or sinagoge
P.S. I know it doesn't sound smart, banning them for their music is not either
Don't know much about the subject. I am very biased: I think there should be a bunch of mosques cause the look totally cool. Beautiful architecture.
bogus indeed - but very interesting nevertheless....

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 9/14/12
ST. LOUIS (AP) The day before the St. Louis Rams' opener, middle linebacker James Laurinaitis signed a five-year contract extension. The business of sport out of the way, he put up the usual double-digit tackle day. Laurinaitis led the Rams in tackles his first three seasons and he got a nice head start on making it four straight after participating in 15 tackles in the loss at Detroit in Week 1. He the new contract gives him a measure of security. He also believes the Rams, who have won just 15 of their last 81 games, are poised to make a move. "Obviously with the regime we have, I'm proud to be a part of it and I'm proud to be in St. Louis," said Laurinaitis, a former second-round pick out of Ohio State. "It's nice to know that I'll be here for sure for another five years. I don't have to wonder at all about it going through the season." Defensive end Chris Long got a multiyear extension the day before training camp, and at that time the Rams said Laurinaitis was the next prio...

5-fluorouracil is a medication that can help prevent scar tissue from
forming. Scar tissue forms naturally as a wound heals. Scar tissue that forms
near the new drainage opening created during
glaucoma surgery can narrow or close it completely.
5-fluorouracil is injected under the lining of the eye (conjunctiva) at the
first sign that the opening may be closing off after surgery. It may be used
during surgery to prevent scar tissue from forming.
Treatment with 5-fluorouracil can be painful. Numbing medications
(anesthetics) can be applied to the eye to decrease pain when the
5-fluorouracil is injected.
5-fluorouracil has side effects, which are generally mild and do not
last long. However, sometimes these side effects can be quite serious. Serious
side effects include:
Injections of 5-fluorouracil can be given daily, and the effects of
each injection are carefully watched before it is decided to inject more
Another medication, mitomycin-C, is more commonly used during
glaucoma surgery to prevent scarring, but it cannot be injected after surgery
as 5-fluorouracil can.
