Freshman Travon Langston (5) throws down a dunk as Impact Prep's Richard Parome watches on in the second half during USU Eastern's 85-31 victory on Tuesday night.
While the tragic death of Brad Barton is still fresh on the minds of players and coaches on the USU Eastern men's basketball team, he's also very much at the heart of every player on the squad.
The former coach's push for tough and aggressive play while displaying a will to succeed, was on full display during USU Eastern's 85-31 victory over Impact Prep at the B-DAC on Tuesday night.
The team and the college honored the memory of Barton before the game by unveiling a banner on the wall of the B-DAC with Barton's photo and a phrase that perfectly described his life, "Living the Dream."
The team will also honor Barton throughout the season with patches on their jerseys over their hearts.
Head coach Brian Edelstein, who was named as the interim coach, said the team has played well despite dealing with the loss of a coach.
"It's been a difficult time for all of us," Edelstein said. "The team has done a great job going out and playing hard, leaving everything on the floor."
Impact Prep kept the game close through the first 10 minutes, but Eastern kicked up the pressure defensively and began to run away from the visitors on their way to a 45-14 halftime lead.
Eastern held Impact Prep scoreless for the final eight minutes of the first half and built up their lead at the half with a 23-0 run.
Edelstein credited the team's defense with sparking the offense by scoring 26 points off of 24 Impact Prep turnovers
"We had great defense from the start of the game," Edelstein said. "We got them (Impact Prep) to take bad shots and had them out of position because of our defensive pressure."
Eastern's Chase Flint was key in getting the Golden Eagles started early, as his play on both sides of the ball sparked the team. Flint, a freshman guard from Kaysville, plays with the same type of fire that was often seen by Barton, another Kaysville resident.
Edelstein credited Flint's play in the first minutes of the first half with getting the team on track for the win.
"Chase is a living testament to Brad Barton," Edelstein said noting Flint was trained by Barton. "Nobody wanted to win this game more than him."
Flint nearly finished the first half with a double-double as he gathered nine points and nine rebounds. He finished with 12 points and a team-high 13 rebounds.
Freshman guard Dashaun Wiggins, a native of Bronx, NY, led the Golden Eagles with 24 points.
"He's (Wiggins) been big for us so far this season," Edelstein said.
Other than Flint and Wiggins, two others scored in double figures as freshmen Matthew Marshall and Eric Hansen has 13 and 10 points respectively.
Eastern is now 6-0 on the season as they will next head to Scottsbluff, Neb., for a tournament starting Friday and continuing through Saturday.
While the team is off to a good start, Edelstein said the team is still coming together, especially with very little practice time since the season started.
"Looking good in November doesn't mean we will look just as good in January and February," he said. "We've been solid so far and the team is playing very unselfishly."
"We still have a lot of work to do including polishing the little things like our basic defense."

Good, Bad, Ugly: Coolest auction ever
The people at Bonhams and Goodman in Australia were a little behind the ball, when they sent out the press release for a sale in Australia this coming weekend. With only a day's notice, we don't exactly have time to get it into print. on November 19. But we're glad they did, since the sale of a private collection contains over 150 cars from 12 countries, most of them the sort of oddball 1970s and '80s stuff you never, ever see. I don't know who this guy is, or was, but he's my kind of guy. Bonham's says it's the largest private collection ever sold in Australia.
Most of the cars are low mileage, and in Australia, rust isn't an issue. In fact, they've all been stored in a climate-controlled warehouse, and many of them haven't been driven in a couple of decades. Sure they'll need new hoses and tires, and there may be a certain amount of gunk in the fuel lines, but we guarantee these cars worth having. For those of us not interested in bidding sight-unseen, they're still worth a look. Take a look at some highlights, then head over to Bonhams for the full listing.
1983 Mitsubishi Sigma GL 2.0

Here at WhoWhatWear Daily's office, we've been focusing on fitness the past, oh, four or five days. Some of us (read: Katherine) are working on overall wellness, and to that effect, just got a brand spanking new gym membership. Some of us (read: Hillary) are hitting the treadmill because they are terrified they won't fit into an upcoming bridesmaid dress-the horror, the horror! As we lace up our shoes and pull on our sports bras, we wondered if a little physical fitness, fashion inspiration wouldn't cheer us up? It was worth a shot, so here is today's (practical if not eye-popping) What They Wear: Working Out.
But don't think that we're just writing about this today to solely amuse ourselves, oh no! You, dear readers, have actually emailed us lately wanting to know what to wear for their athletic endeavors. Also, due to the sporty nature of many of the spring collections, we thought this would be a good time for a fitness discourse.
The easiest way to rip the above celebrities' sporty style is to raid American Apparel. The store is possibly the best thing that's ever happened to workout clothes. You can find yoga pants (like Cameron and Reese are wearing) for $35, headbands (like Cameron's) in over 20 colors for $8 each, and gym bags (again, like Cameron's) in one of eight colors for $30. To get the exact, bright yellow, cotton canvas sack Ms. Diaz is toting, pick up the LA-Z bag (americanapparel.net).
When it comes to sweats, Tinsletown residents seem to buy Free City, Jet by John Eshaya, and Rebel Yell by the bushel. Reese is wearing a Free City sweatshirt, above, and in the interest of total disclosure, we have several items too-pieces we adore. Nina Garduno of Ron Herman is the creator of the insanely soft Free City line, available in Ron Herman stores and at the Free City Supershop in Malibu (323.651.4129 for the RH store on Melrose).
Over on the other side of this page, Christina's cherry-colored pants are Jet burnout sweats ($78, ronherman.com). Finally we have the beloved Rebel Yell, which has been spotted on the Simpson sisters, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Olsen. We imagine they like long length, vintage fabric feeling, and slim cut of the line. We crave Rebel Yell's raglan fleece hoodie, above, especially due to its awesome, black and grey, baseball t-shirt style ($134, 80spurple.com).
Finally we have Ms. Paltrow, who looks street-ready despite the fact that she's en route to a Pilates class, or so we were told. We think the gym shoes are just a rouse, a cunning attempt to trick the general public. We know the truth. Gwyneth is so going to get her pole on at strip aerobics-at least in our minds.
UPDATE! If you want one of Cameron's exact workout headbands, buy an i | m active ToughTread Head Wrap in black ($7.99, studioim.com

|Written by Ashe Schools Press Release
|Tuesday, 10 July 2012 14:38
The upcoming 2012-2013 school year brings new personnel serving in different roles across the county. Due to the recent retirement of Teresa Stansberry, Director of Exceptional Children and Pre-K, from Ashe County Schools, Mrs. Terry Richardson,

LOWVILLE The explosion was as fake as the painted-on blood, but the experience emergency responders gained from Thursdays disaster drill was real.
This is a great opportunity for emergency responders and hospital personnel to gain valuable training so they are better prepared should a real emergency occur, said Christina L. Flint, director of marketing and public relations at Lewis County General Hospital.
The setting for the mock disaster was Climax Manufacturing Co., where students in the New Visions program at the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center in Glenfield volunteered as victims.
Joseph S. Tolley, safety environmental coordinator at Climax, also serves on the Emergency Planning Committee. Original plans would have evacuated the building of all employees for the drill, but the weather did not cooperate. Instead, a large work area was sectioned off and workers were kept inside.
The students arrived early to go over their roles. With the use of makeup and fake wounds and blood, they were transformed to look like victims of an explosion.
The scenario had the students at the location for a field trip. One student, played by Kasey Rivers, brought an explosive device with him and detonated it in a battery storage area.
Emergency responders treated the scenario as realistically as possible, responding to the fire scene, donning gear for a hazardous materials incident and decontaminating the victims and taking them to Lewis County General Hospital.
Hospital staff practiced decontamination skills on the victims, then sent them through triage and on to the appropriate area for care of their injuries.
At the conclusion of the exercise, participants were debriefed with immediate feedback about the handling of the emergency. Dale F. Barker, director of emergency preparedness at Lewis County General Hospital, said a full report will be available in about a week.

The dress is meant to be essentially a pullover - the pattern's closure calls for only a loop and button - so it's supposed to be A-line and rather blousy in the back and middle. I modified the shape significantly: I inserted back darts (see prior post)
To counteract the still-present blousiness, I hemmed the dress pretty short. I like the final effect of a less-fitted dress with a sexy short length.
Because I went luxe on the fabric, I had to go budget on the jewelry: the necklace is from one of my favorite accessory stores, Love 21, Forever 21's accessory-only sister store.
I've bought pieces from that store, all <$10, that garner mad compliments! Once, a lady at the airport asked if my necklace was from a foreign country. I had to tell her the truth!
So my version is not as intricate as the dress Carolina Herrera made with this fabric:
But hey, I think mine's allright, too.
I'm home in western Pennsylvania with my family for the week for Christmas. Tonight I'm going to try a recipe for "Black Jack Gingerbread" recipe, which I found in my great-grandmother's recipe book that my Mom handed down to me last year.
My grandmother, who had emigrated to the United States from England in the 1950's, must have brought it back with her at some point, and I'm so lucky to now have it. It's a hand-written book full of traditional British recipes such as Sussex Potato Cheese Cakes, Christmas Pud, Breton Cake, Saint Catherine's Cakes, along with less-intriguing instructions for Minced Kidneys and Spanish Liver & Bacon (the addition of "tomato sauce" apparently makes it Spanish).
I found a notation on the back that the recipe is Grammy Senior's recipe, so I think it's my great-great-grandmother's, or her grandmother's. So cool!
Then, it's off to the local dive bar for 25 cent wings...
Hoping that you're enjoying the holiday season!

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WUSA) - Northern Virginia is the economic engine of the state. What is it that's transformed and built the economy? Federal contracting.
From 1980 through 2009, federal contracting in Northern Virginia increased from $1.7 billion to $38.5 billion, according Dr. Stephen Fuller with George Mason University's Center for Regional Analysis.
But there's worry the bottom could fall out.
"Government contractors stop doing business in Fairfax County because there is no business, I mean it will be dramatically reduced," said John Foust, Supervisor for the Dranesville District of Fairfax County, worrying about what will happen if we go over the Fiscal Cliff. He and Supervisor Jeff McKay were part of the unanimous county board vote this week asking Congress to hurry up and resolve the impending sequestration.
"I you go and make the kind of cuts that some are suggesting that happen, then you're hurting a lot of the small businesses in Fairfax County that rely on federal contracts for their livelihood. Ultimately that trickles down and affects Fairfax County," said McKay.
In 2009, Fairfax County pulled in $23 Billion in federal contracting. That's more than any other county in the nation, and its$3 billion more than Washington, D.C.
So what is it that makes Fairfax County so attractive?
Dulles Airport, according to Stephen Fuller.
Fuller says the international airport provides easy access to Washington via on it's limited access highway. He says Dulles also provides connections to both national and international markets. The recent recession has left many commercial vacancies. But if funding drops out, more buildings will go empty and commercial property taxes, which fuel the county's economy, will decline.
"We want a balanced approach to help us get out of this, but, it will have a significant impact on Fairfax County if Congress does nothing," said McKay.
The largest expenditure for Fairfax and other area counties is the school budget. Less money for local counties means less money for schools.

Clippers 114, PHX 107
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 11/05/06, 12:58am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
For the ninth time in ten games, the Clippers faced PHX. Tonight they had Corey Maggette, and not just any Corey Maggette, but a Corey who conformed his style to the game rather than the other way around. From the time he checked into the game at 1:31 in the first, Corey saw the court with clarity. Not once did he settle for an ill-advised shot when there was a better one off the dribble or an open guy on the weak side. More important, he recorded only one turnover in 31 minutes, moved without the ball and was effective on the defensive end. In order to defeat the Suns, a team has to have players who can slash and unsettle a defense whose only asset is its quickness. For good measure, he grabbed 12 rebounds - three offensive - and continues to establish himself one of the best wing rebounders in the game.
Despite going 1-12 from beyond the arc, the Clippers were able to manufacture possessions. It wasn't easy: Kurt Thomas blanketed Elton Brand and, for much of the first quarter, Shawn Marion disrupted Sam Cassell - an interesting assignment by D'Antoni but one that worked. Elton contributed with three blocks and 10 rebounds, but got only 10 shots off from the field with only seven FTA.
One of the weirdest stats of the night was Tim Thomas' 13 rebounds - the first time he's been in double figures since March 3, 2004 when he was in New York and the most since he picked up 13 with Milwaukee in November 2003. He also blocked two shots.
Tim Thomas, professional power forward [enter preferred emoticon here].
With 8:47 remaining in the fourth quarter, Boris Diaw sunk a free throw to put PHX up 93-91. From there, the Clippers ran off a 16-4 run that put them in control of the game with 3:18 to go. Here's how it broke down:

With 8:47 remaining in the fourth quarter, Boris Diaw sunk a free throw to put PHX up 93-91. From there, the Clippers ran off a 16-4 run that put them in control of the game with 3:18 to go. Here's how it broke down:
- The unit on the floor comprises Livingston (PG), Mobley (SG), Maggette (SF), Thomas (PF), and Kaman (C). Livingston brings the ball up right side against Marcus Banks. On the right elbow, Kaman sets a largely ineffective screen on Diaw, then breaks for the basket. This creates just enough room for Shawn to take Banks off the dribble, and he does so with a forceful drive to the basket, drawing the foul from Banks in the process. It actually looks like Banks got a finger on the ball as Livingston went up. Shaun sinks the free throw. (Clippers 94, PHX 93)
- With Banks at point for PHX, the Suns spread their four guys around the perimeter. Diaw receives the ball on the left wing with Banks cutting down the lane. Per the spoke-and-wheel offense, Diaw dribble-drives toward the basket and three Clippers -- Kaman, Mobley, and Thomas -- pick him up in the paint. Probably a bad decision by Thomas (Do you really need to triple-team Boris Diaw coming down the lane?), as this leaves Marion wide open in his favorite spot in the right corner. Diaw slings a nice baseline pass Marion's way...but the Matrix airballs the open three.
- Thomas comes up with the loose ball and the Clippers have it in transition with Shaun at the controls. He slows it down and passes it off to Mobley on the right perimeter. Kaman sets an elbow screen which Mobley's man, Barbosa, tries to run under. This creates ample room for Mobley, but he misses the 21-footer. Back the other way off the Marion rebound.
- Marion pulls up, then backs it out to Banks. Banks, the worst shooter on the floor, foregoes the offense and takes a 21-foot jumper at the top of the key. No good. Maggette swoops in for the rebound. [Is there a guy in the L right now who hits the boards with more authority than Corey Maggette? You can actually hear leather...errr...synthetic meet palm when Corey comes down with the rock.]
- Livingston up left side this time. His crossover fools Banks and he penetrates to about seven feet, far enough to draw Jones - who is covering Mobley -- to the left block. Right when Jones commits, Livingston delivers a perfect pass to Cat, who lays it up and in. Pure mastery by Shaun. Time out PHX [7:38]. (Clippers 96, PHX 93)
- Nash replaces Banks. Thomas and Barbosa are back in, as well. Spoke-and-wheel as Nash penetrates, then kicks it back out to Diaw...who penetrates, but runs into an imposing Kaman. Diaw then dishes it back out to Nash. It's worth noting that Kaman's presence coupled with solid man-on-man defense out on the perimeter is shutting down PHX's penetration on this possession. Nash and Diaw try a little give-and-go and, when he receives the ball back from Nash, Diaw drives to the basket, but is stuffed by...I think it's Thomas. The ball gets tipped out to the backcourt and, in rushing to the ball, Livingston commits a LBF on Bell. The Suns get it back.
- Nash and K. Thomas run a high S/R. Nash drives around the screen, then kicks it out to Diaw on the left wing. Diaw, again, tries a roundabout drive to the basket, but misses. There's a scrum for the rebound and K. Thomas comes down with the ball. Reset again...Nash-to-Thomas-over to-Barbosa on the weak side perimeter.
Again, the Clips interior D is cutting off penetration. The best PHX can come up? Barbosa from 26. The Suns go 11-27 from downtown, but this is one of their 16 misses.
- Livingston brings it up and the Clippers go into a set that looks a lot like the Drop Post Up they ran last season with Brand and Mobley. This time it's TT and Mobley. A nice play call because it allows Cat to post Barbosa, who is uniquely ill-equipped to defend inside of ten feet. Sure enough, Cat gets the ball from TT on the right block, spins and shoots right a nice fade-away over Barbosa.
Nice. (Clippers 98, PHX 93)
- Nash brings it up against Shaun, gets a screen from Diaw at the top of the circle which he darts around. Then, Nash dishes it off to Barbosa, who has come up from the right corner. Barbosa dribbles right into the teeth of the Clips' interior D, so he backs it out and returns the rock to Nash. Reset. Nash penetrates, again running into a double-team (Mobley and TT. Thomas is having a nice defensive possession), so he dishes off to Diaw. Diaw fakes a drive, but has nowhere to go. Again, back out to Nash on the perimeter with :08 remaining on the shot clock. Mobley quickly picks up Nash, who spins right - though Cat is staying with him. Livingston leaves Barbosa to double Nash, so Nash kicks it out to Barbosa. He launches it from 26, but Livingston closes quickly and blocks the shot.
This is the finest defensive set of the night. Perfect communication, fluid rotations, quick switches, smothering on-ball coverage. And Cuttino Mobley is at the center of it all. After starting on Barbosa, he picks up Nash on the first switch, then runs under the Diaw screen without losing Nash.
You also get a sense of how difficult it is to defend PHX in the halfcourt. There is so much going on, countless screens, decoys, sudden penetration. It's exhausting to watch, but the choreography is beautiful. In the fourth, the Clippers have sniffed it out and the ease with which PHX dominated the latter half of the third quarter has evaporated.
- After Livingston blocks the shot, it lands in TT's hands. What follows is one of the most precise lob passes you'll ever see from Thomas to Livingston, who has broken down the court. Livingston lays it in. (Clippers 100, PHX 93)
- The Suns come right back, and have the Clippers disoriented. Kaman leaves Thomas on the left block to pick up Diaw, because Boris' guy - TT - has left him to trap Nash out on the perimeter. The rotation is blown just enough that Nash finds the daylight between him and K. Thomas and threads the needle. (Clippers 100, PHX 95) [5:54]
- Shaun brings it up deliberately and after seeing a couple of half-hearted cross-screens, Shaun delivers a skip-pass to a cutting Maggette. Maggette drives, misses the layup, but comes down with the rebound. Kicked ball, new :24. The first thing EB does when he checks into the game is set a perfect screen on Barbosa that allows Mobley to break to the top of the key and receive the ball from Livingston. Cat sinks the jumper. (Clippers 102, PHX 95)
- More spoke-and-wheel. Nash just can't find any daylight when penetrating because the Clips are closing quickly now. They can taste it. How often does a PHX possession get down to :06 with five minutes to go in a game in which they trail? Barbosa is ultimately the guy who takes it to the hole. The runner high off the glass is no good. Rebound EB.
- Slow it up. Mobley feeds Kaman on the right block and Chris is immediately doubled. It doesn't get said enough, but Chris sees the court extremely well for a young center. It doesn't take him a nanosecond to see that it's Corey's man from the top of the perimeter, so Kaman kicks it back out to Corey, who misses the 25-foot jumper from beyond. Nevertheless, a nice set. |
And that's the thing. I'd rather see that set, even if it results in nothing, than some of the dreck we watched on Thursday night that, by dumb luck, resulted in a bucket.
- PHX is wasting no time. Nash drives into another mass of Clippers, sees Diaw open from 21, delivers him the ball; Diaw misses, but K. Thomas is shoved to the ground by Kaman, so the Suns get shots. The Matrix checks back in, and Thomas hits his free throws. (Clippers 102, PHX 97) [4:30]
- Sam enters the game to record the save, while Shaun leaves to applause. Sam drops an entry pass into Mobley, who is immediately doubled. K. Thomas has shifted himself to monitor the strong side. As Mobley is going up, he sees this and, instead of taking the contested shot, he fires a perfect pass to EB at the foul line. Good [glass]. (Clippers 104, PHX 97)
- Nash gets the ball tipped away momentarily up top (Mobley), but manages to push it over to Diaw, who is open from 14. Diaw airballs it. Misses everything. The disruption from the Mobley tip seems to disorient everyone on the floor. The Clips get it back.
- A stagnant possession. The ball rotates and ends up in Maggette's hands on the perimeter with :07 left on the shot clock. Corey sees that Mobley has gotten position on Nash (barely) on the low right block. With time expiring, Cat goes up for the shot against the double team and gets fouled by a pissed off Nash. Cat sinks two. (Clippers 106, PHX 97)
- Nash into Diaw at the foul line. Diaw hands it off to Bell on a reverse sweep, sorta. Bell misses the 14-footer. Kaman is fouled on the rebound and sinks one of two. (Clippers 107, PHX 97)
The Clippers maintain control from here. Giving up 107 points doesn't suggest a great defensive effort, but the Clippers locked the Suns down when it counted. They held a team that was shooting unconsciously in the third quarter (outscoring the Clips 39-24) to 44% overall. Though they got interrupted briefly during that absurd PHX run, the Clips played their game tonight, and were rewarded.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A former campaign aide to D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray admitted Tuesday to paying a person involved in Gray's campaign to get out of town so that person could avoid FBI investigation.
Vernon Hawkins said in court on Tuesday morning that he provided two $4,000 payments to "Person A", a catering company owner, but says it wasn't his idea. He previously denied asking anyone to leave town. On Tuesday, Hawkins also talked about his interview with investigators, saying "it happened so fast. I wasn't thinking." He had his lawyer present during the interview.
Sources tell WUSA9's Bruce Johnson that Hawkins took money from Jeffrey Thompson and gave it to a man named Lamont Mitchell. Johnson's sources said that Mitchell was given the money so he could go to Australia and avoid talking to the FBI about a shadow campaign.
Sources tell Johnson that Mitchell used to cater breakfast meetings for the DC Council and worked on Mayor Gray's campaign. The sources also tell Johnson that Thompson has put up money for more than one person to leave the area to avoid FBI questioning into a shadow campaign for Gray.
Hawkins was charged with lying to federal agents who were investigating campaign finance violations about what went on in Gray's 2010 campaign. He was a volunteer adviser on Gray's 2010 mayoral campaign and worked for him on previous bids for the D.C. Council. Tuesday morning, Hawkins pleaded guilty to a single count of making a false statement.
U.S. Attorney said: "Vernon Hawkins was at ground zero of a scheme to design, staff, and execute an off-the-books shadow campaign."
Hawkins is now the fourth Gray campaign worker to head to federal court. Campaign worker Howard Brooks pleaded guilty last year in connection to the mayor's illegal shadow campaign - secret money to get him elected.
Hawkins faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine with other penalties.Sentencing guidelines recommend between zero and 16 months in prison.
Hawkins released his own statement, saying he's sorry and "I take fully responsibility for my actions. I have tried to correct that mistake and today is an important step."
He will return to court November 12.
As for Mayor Gray, he and his lawyer had no comment on the case.

Ultimate QuakeLive Guide . . QL Profile . . FORUM Rules . . Forum CPL . . Tech Support . . Report a Bug . . Report a Cheat
if we were apples customers, and we wanted xyz feature which we had before, which we do not have now, but we know that this feature would improve our own personal user experience, and many other user's experience, then there is no wrong in seeking an official stance on where apple are up to in returning this feature.
the only cause of arguement you can have with any of my original post, is maybe the way i have gone about it. ultimately the facts are this:
1. these two maps will bring major enjoyment to the current scene.
2. iD have not let us know what they are doing, what they are not doing, what they are prepared to do, about returning these maps to us.
the only reason why you would go against this thread, and the objective of this thread, is because of the way i have gone about my original post. seeing as though the whole point of this thread, is to bring positivity to ql.
and Yakumo, i'm sure if i spent enough time, i could find a flaw in your analogy. but i'd like to direct your posts more towards the benefit of having these two maps, rather than the way i communicated my original intentions.
I'm quite into CTF and back in the days Threewave, and yeah QL needs to focus a bit more on CTF as it's been sorely neglected. Hopefully it'll change in future, but damn, give Id a chance. They've added 4 more Threewave maps in the last few months and I'd expect that more will come soon.
If cp9 and cp15 are (re-)introduced i will come back to ql, premiumed and all that.
i'd rather see wcp18, wcp22 and wcp23 over wcp15 because i find them a lot more fun. wcp9 is a given though, i was surprised that wasn't a map among the premiums when QL left beta.
ID don't have money to pay the rights of 3W maps LOL, and prolly they won't add them in future updates.
Quake ctf got popular when ThreewaveCTF mod company joined them to help out with the fun factors of CTF and they did the same for UT and thats why UT ctf is a legend, why do u only ask for spidercrossing q3wcp9 and q3wcp15 only? what about Future crossings q3wcp18 and vast ? and what about q3wcp23 and q3wcp14 ?
here are the maps u requested if u want to give it a test for your selves in practice
otherTopCTFmaps Download Link
just remember type /s_ambient 0 and /vid_restart because theirs a sound problem when i converted it to Quakelive
extract them to baseq3 folder
maps included in this rar file are
The Threewave maps are in their original pak files , i just deleted the other maps like q3wcp1 q3wcp2.. etc. because the list is big and it makes the pak files huge.
u dont need to reconvert them to quake3 if u want to see and modify it anymore your selves because the work is done for u.
remember to run the pak files in the right way and dont end up typing /map q3wpak0 because it wont work .
q3wpak0 consists of 1 map which is q3wxs1 so type /map q3wxs1 to load the map within that pak file
for q3wpak1 it consists of 3 maps q3wcp9 and q3wcp14 and q3wxs2 , ( /map q3wcp9 , /map q3wcp14 , /map q3wxs2 )
and q3wpak4 consists of 1 map q3wcp18 , ( /map q3wcp18 )
you will love q3wcp18 everyone does the textures are just amazing it sure is a futurecrossing map

yes - I have alsa working nicely on fc2 and kernel 2.6.7 - my config is here:
I've just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, and because of that I had to recompile my kernel. I've done this, and setup alsa, or so I thought. All the modules are loaded, and the libraries detected, however I cant find ANY actual device files, so I cant send the sound anywhere.
I've got a good feeling its because the sys filesystem is now used instead of dev, but I dont think alsa has made the change correctly. Has anyone got alsa to work using 2.6.7?
I'm running slack 10, and using xmms.
yes - I have alsa working nicely on fc2 and kernel 2.6.7 - my config is here:
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've gone right throug my 2.6 setup, and cant see anything else I'd need to change. The modules load fine, and there is all the setup information in /proc/asound, yet there are no device files in /dev.
I'm recompiling AGAIN to see if I've missed something, but I'm close to giving up and going back to OSS. I've tried prebuilt alsa packages, I've tried compiling my own alsa packages, and I'm still not having any luck. I've created the .asoundrc file, I've got modules.conf properly setup, I really have no idea what is going on here.
OK, its official something is broken, and its not alsa. I have no sound devices in /dev. Even when I install the OSS modules, I have no sound devices.
I have compiled 2.6.7 about ten times by now, still with no luck. I have tried it with devfs without devfs, and with the kernel alsa modules, with the actual alsa packages, both compiled from source and prepackaged.
Does anyone out there use a P4 with the intel 865 chipset, and kernel 2.6? If so, can you please send me your kernel config and I'll try to use that. I'm actually now going to make a default base kernel and see if that works.
Success at last!
I compiled the kernel with default options and it worked. I then took that configuration and went right through it. The only difference is that the sound stuff is not compiled as modules, and that is extrememly odd, but I'm happy that it works. Although in doing that I also disabled the framebuffer and now I cant get the nvidia driver to work, so I'm going to play around a bit.
It seems extrememly odd that compiling it into the kernel fixed it, but I'm not going to argue, i'm just going to accept it and leave it at that.
Thanks for the help

UnderCover Presents is a grassroots project that selects an influential album to be completely reinterpreted and re-recorded by local Bay Area musicians. Each song on the album is arranged by a different band who are encouraged to truly make each song their own. The mission of UnderCover is to expose music fans everywhere to the diverse pool of talent that the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. This quarter, UnderCover, bring you Joni Mitchell's Blue, curated by guest Music Director, Dina Maccabee.
A San Francisco-based violinist, singer, and composer, Dina Maccabee has composed and performed scores for Bay Area theater companies including Just Theater and Shotgun Players. Her projects Dina Maccabee Band, Ramona and Jessica and Real Vocal String Quartet, have released several recordings of original music over the last eight years.
"… songs are like tattoos… ink on a pin underneath the skin, an empty space to fill in…"
Written and composed after a difficult breakup with longtime boyfriend, Graham Nash, Joni describes Blue as "a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world and I couldn't pretend in my life to be strong".
Blue was chosen for its profound reflections on the human soul and its explorations of the universal themes of love, loss, and life. The lyrics dance through the various facets of relationships from infatuation on " A Case of You" to insecurity on "This Flight Tonight" to love on "My Old Man" and even the pain from letting go of a child on "Little Green". Blue takes you skating on icy rivers, traveling through California beaches, Canadian countryside, and even to the Mermaid Cafe at a cave-dwelling hippie commune in Malta.
Dina's musical selection presents these universal themes in a wide range of styles from Indian Classical to Hip Hop to Delta Blues and Bossa Nova. Presented in full for two nights at the Brava Theater in San Francisco, UnderCover Presents: Blue promises to be a musical journey as wide reaching as the the album itself.
A download of the studio album is included with each show ticket, it will also be available as a limited edition CD run at the show and online starting October 1st.
Saturday Sept. 29, 2012, Doors: 7:30 pm & Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012, Doors: 6:00 pm
"…here is a shell for you, inside you'll hear a sigh, a foggy lullaby, there is your song from me…"

Buzz: This Offer Isn't Close To Getting A Deal Done
7:51PM: James Mirtle tweets that the consensus from players on the call is that the owners movement wasn't that much but this was enough to at least restart talks.
12:16PM: Chris Botta tweets "NHL offer today is the set-up for league's rejection of PA's counterpropsal in a few days. We're still two weeks from closure."
12:09PM: LeBrun says that even though the NHLPA will want to change some things in the proposal the feeling is that this is an important step towards getting a deal done.
11:58AM: Pierre LeBrun says that the salary cap of $60 million in year two, year one would have a transition cap, is still concerning to players because of escrow.
LeBrun adds that his feeling is that there is still some more back and forth that needs to happen before this gets sorted out.
Bruce Garrioch tweets "Players have to decide how much more they want to try to squeeze out. Any kind of season is on the clock now."
11:54AM: According to Nick Kypreos, the NHLPA is already working on a counteroffer to the proposal that the NHL made to the players last night.
He says that the proposal the NHL made is not close to getting a deal done but it is a good sign that the owners have shown they don't want to cancel the season.
Bruce Garrioch tweets that one again the NHL isn't expected to be very flexible when it comes to negotiating the terms of the proposal.
