Article Summary
NASA launched five rockets in five minutes early on Tuesday morning, as part of its ongoing ATREX mission to study the winds of the upper level jet stream. The rockets carry an onboard chemical which, when released, form clouds revealing wind patterns at outer reaches of Earth's atmosphere. And as you can see from the resulting photography, some striking cloud formations occurred.

Hugh Jackman: Neon Green iPad Case!
Hugh Jackman leaves his apartment building along with his son Oscar and his dad on Saturday (December 24) in New York City.
The 43-year-old actor held onto his iPad, which was covered in a neon green protection case.
Hugh also had a copy of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" in his hands. Perhaps he is doing some research for a role in the sequel to the film version of the book?

i adore all of your artwork
and this was super helpful.
that's amazing!
Very useful. Thanks.
You are a genius.
This has been so helpful for me. I really didn't ever think about this before but it really helps make a character way more dynamic and their expression more believable. Thank you so much!! ♥
OMG, this is very helpful. Thanksies.
Very useful tutorial. Even though people inherently know this, this is a good reminder, because so many people just let it escape them entirely.
Wow this is a great help! Thanks so much! O.o
never apologize for raging Karkat
never ever
you draw him so adorable, omg.
never ever
you draw him so adorable, omg.
i added this to my group in a tutorials section, hope ya don't mind
Awesome tutorial! I thought that was John there lol! Thanks for making it!
this was very helpful
thanks you a lot!
this is awesome XDDD best example EVAHR!
Oh my gosh, this is a great tutorial/pointer/thingy! Thanks so much for sharing, it will definitely come in useful!
shit man why don't you just make one of my new favourite tutorials then pack it with the best karkat pictures ever and then round off with a good pointer about how fumi yoshinaga is a motherfucking genius
I mean
shit man be my aneki
I mean
shit man be my aneki
Excellent tutorial. I see problems in comics where people always just slap on a mouth for the situation, even though what the character's saying would never fit it and it gets pretty irritating after a while.
Awesome job!
Awesome job!
A helpful tutorial. I'd never really looked at that part of animation before. I mean, I'm not really an artist or animator, but I still like to see how it's done. Also, don't sweat about the homestuck stuff. If you like it, fine, if not, fine. I thought they were really well represented.
Ohh, some good tips here! Thank you!
This tutorial is awesome, also I recognized John the moment I saw him and squeled and flapped my arms.
Love it!
Lol last 4 expressions totally made my morning
Oh my god the noise I made when I saw the little Karkat sequence. Oh lawd~!
Just wanted to thank you for this little tutorial. It might seem simple, but these are the details that bring comics to life (like yours!). Keep being awesome!
Just wanted to thank you for this little tutorial. It might seem simple, but these are the details that bring comics to life (like yours!). Keep being awesome!
omg thanks this is what i needed most! life saver QwQ
never apologize for homestucks!
this is wondefull and something that is really worth looking into for artists. Even though i don't really draw, after taking linguistics classes it's something I notice. It's definately more confusing watching something when the mouths don't match the sounds. And it's easy to see that the expressions themselves are much more distinct when the words are better incorporated.
LMAO "ffffFFFFUUUUUUCCKKK" This just made my day XD Thanks for the tut <3
Super helpful, thanks!
This is really great, I'll try to remember this next time I draw a character speaking.
I love this. Thank you ~ I never really thought about that.
That was great. Thank you. :3
Really useful, thanks!
homestuck! XD
Great tips!

Elbridge Parents and family packed Elbridge Elementary School's cafeteria on Dec. 20 for the annual Third Grade Holiday Concert.
The audience chuckled and cheered as the children, under the direction of music teachers Marisa Fagliarone and Andrea Love, belted out "Paint the Town December," Calypso Noel," "The Chipmunk Song," played a lullaby on recorders and finished up with "Jingle Bells" and "Hear the Sleigh Bells."
"In light of everything that has happened," Miss Fagliarone said, referring to the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, "we needed this. We need these kids to sing for us."
Jacki Stebnicki, the aunt of Evan Grobsmith, 8, watched the show with her infant son, Adrian.
"I loved it," Stebnicki said. "Especially after what's happened it was nice that they continued to have it. We needed to have that."
Principal Ellen Leuthauser was proud of the third graders.
"I just think they do a fantastic job," she said. "It's a rite of passage and it's an enjoyable experience."
For video of the third graders playing recorders in unison, click here. Watch them sing the "Chipmunks Song" here and check out their performance of "Jingle Bells" with "Hear the Sleigh Bells" here.

Re: Joel Marcus, the End of Mark, and Egregious Errors
Expand Messages
- Peter:
To me, saying that 5 out of 6 Sahidic end at 16:8, when in fact only one out of 6 Sahidic manuscripts end at 16:8, is a serious misrepresentation of the evidence. But this is just one of numerous errors which scholars have made on the subject.
What I said: "The more commentaries on Mark I read, the more convinced I am that it is very possible for scholars to make confident assertions about the contents of MSS -- egregiously erroneous statements -- that are based on very little, if any, firsthand evidence."
Here are some reasons why I say that; perhaps this list of specific errors will help account for my perspective:
(1) "The verses which follow (Mark 16:9-20) are not in any of the great early manuscripts; only later and inferior manuscripts contain them." William Barclay.
(2) "A few manuscripts insert additional material after verse 14." ESV, footnote.
(3) "None of the early church fathers indicate awareness of these verses for the first few centuries of Christianity." H. Walker Evans.
(4) "Not only do "some of the most ancient authorities" lack these verses (as NRSV says)they all do." Tim Geddert.
(5) "(1) These verses are lacking in many of the oldest and most reliable manuscripts, as well as in important Old Latin, Syriac, Armenian, and Ethiopic manuscripts. (2) Many of the ancient church fathers reveal no knowledge of these verses, including Clement, Origen, and Eusebius. (3) Many manuscripts that do have this section place a mark by it indicating it is a spurious addition to the text." Norman Geisler.
(6) "The Alexandrian Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus (Aleph and B) both omit Mark 16:9-20, as does the second-century Church Father Cyril of Alexandria." J. Harold Greenlee.
(7) "In very many Greek manuscripts of the Gospel, and in important manuscripts of early versions, the passage Mk. 16:9-20 is omitted." Wilfrid J. Harrington.
(8) "Many MSS omit vv. 9-20." The Jerusalem Bible, footnote.
(9) "The Gospel of Mark, according to the almost unanimous testimony of the oldest Greek manuscripts, ends with 16:8." - Donald Juel.
(10) "Eusebius and Jerome say that the passage was unknown in all copies of Mark to which they had access." Ralph P. Martin.
(11) "Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Eusebius show no knowledge of the existence of these verses." Bruce Metzger.
(12) "The earliest copies of Mark end here, at verse 8. Early commentaries confirming this cutoff included those written by Clement of Alexandria (died about AD 101), Origen (AD 100s), and Eusebius (AD 200's)." - Stephen Miller.
(13) "In some manuscripts, the short summary paragraph printed here immediately after verse 8a is all that follows." C.F.D. Moule, alluding to the Shorter Ending.
(14) "Some of our best MSS end at 16/8; other MSS agree with them in omitting v. 9-20, but have the alternative ending given below." -D. E. Nineham.
(15) "Text critics have found numerous endings for Mark's Gospel that were written at various times and places." Mark Allen Powell.
(16) "Mark 16:9-20 is absent from the two oldest Greek manuscripts in our possession - Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Sinaiticus." - Ron Rhodes (graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary).
(17) "In many ancient Greek manuscripts, Mark's Gospel ends here. But other manuscripts add 11 more verses." - Lawrence Richards (graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, and professor at Wheaton College Graduate School).
(18) "Pious scribes who copied Mark made up an ending for him and added it to his text sometime in the 4th century A.D. - over 300 years after the original text was composed!" James Tabor.
(19) Mark 16:9-20 "is present in the King James version but lacking in our oldest manuscripts as well as from all Greek manuscripts known to Eusebius and Jerome." W. R. Telford.
(20) "Our two oldest Greek manuscripts, A and B, lack vv. 9-20, as does Greek manuscript 304 from the twelfth century." And, "Eusebius and Jerome both tell us these verses were absent from all Greek copies known to them." Ben Witherington III
PH: "He said that vv9-20 was present in only one manuscript, whereas the actual evidence suggests it was present in others"
Suggest, schmuggest! The passage is present, at least in part, in 5 Sahidic MSS. Is that correct or is that incorrect?
PH: "In other words his statement is actually a summary reflecting the true nature of the sahidic evidence."
No. His statement about the Sahidic Coptic manuscripts is actually a statement about Sahidic Coptic manuscripts. It is not about their possible implications. I present it again:
"Verses 9-20, moreover, do not exist in our earliest and best Greek manuscripts, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, both of which terminate at 16:8, as do the Sinaitic Syriac, about a hundred Armenian manuscripts, the two oldest Georgian manuscripts (from 897 and 913 C.E.), and all but one manuscript of the Sahidic Coptic (Metzger, 122-23; cf. Birdsall, "Review," 154)."
PH: "This error of detail in no way impacts the weight of evidence in relation to the issue at hand."
Yes it does. I'd need to find Kahle's essay to explain precisely how. But it should be obvious that the 4 (real) Sahidic MSS that contain the SE and LE do not attest to the same transmission-history that 4 (imaginary) Sahidic MSS ending at 16:8 would have.
PH: "I am not sure how justified you are in assuming that 1,480 mss of Mark lack such signs - who has checked these?."
I'm not the one making the unjustified claim; the burden is on the claimants. Do you think it would be a sound practice for a textual critic to claim that MSS "often" have certain features and then, when challenged by the counter-claim that less than 1.5% of MSS have been shown to have the features in question, say, "Well, who's to say they aren't there in more than 1.5%?!"
PH: [Marcus] "seems to agree with you on the fundamental issues: "they were almost certainly not penned by Mark, nor were they the original ending of the Gospel."
No; my view is that
(a) there is a very good chance that Mark wrote the text now known as Mark 16:9-20 (albeit as a freestanding catechetical or liturgical composition, not as an ending for Mk. 1:1-16:8), and
(b) Mark 16:9-20 was attached to Mark 1:1-16:8 in Rome by Mark's colleagues (when Mark suddenly departed to Alexandria) before the Gospel of Mark was initially disseminated for church-use. So using the ordinary standard of canonicity and authenticity (the state of a book's text at the moment it began its literary history through transcription for distribution), Mark 16:9-20 is original and canonical, and the question of its authorship should be considered a subject for higher criticism, after the authenticity of the passage is affirmed.

Since a translation from Latin or a Graeco-Latin dialect to Greek
would likely have been done by someone aware of Mark and Matthew,
such verbal affinities are expected in all scenarios.

> Theoretically ..- if Mark had written the Gospel of Mark in Latin,someone could have translated an early draft of it into Greek,
And this was the theory of Herman Hoskier, accompanied with extensive
analysis, that Mark was written in either Latin or a Graeco-Latin dialect.

Vi Davis has places to go, people to meet and things to do
And the most important thing of all is getting a promotion. So she's not pleased when a little accident on the highway near Echo Point, Arizona--not exactly on the road to the big time--forces her to take time out of her schedule to care for an elderly stranger.

New guy from FL
I decided to join the forum after browsing for a few weeks.
We just inherited an 8 month old GSD named "Pheobe". She is my 2nd large breed dog, but first large breed purebred. She is a high energy dog, yet very submissive and loves to work for us. We must have an assignment for her at all times. Pheobe walks about 4 miles per day (2 miles am and 2 miles pm). We also have a long haired piebald purebred miniature dauchshund named "Baxter". Baxter is a calm assertive dog that is assuredly the quintessential "alpha male". The pairing has been quite nice - as long as Pheebs has a task, Baxter very much appreciates laying in his tummy and watching her.
Some stats for your comments...
At 8 months Pheobe weights about 58 pounds, she eats 6 cups of Nitro Max Large Puppy Breed dry dog food. Heart worms are controlled with Heartguard and fleas with Comfortis. Baxter uses Trifexis, but recently has vomited it and I want to go back to the staggered approach with both dogs. Heartguard at time=zero, and Comfortis at time=5 days. Thoughts on my decisions for Pheobe?
She is the smartest dog I have ever had and that includes 4 doxies, a boxer/chow mix, a terrier/chow mix, and an English bulldog. Snaps of my fingers and a sharp "eeeyyh" will get her mindset in tune with me. I walk her on lead for the first mile, correcting for my pace at no more than a head's length in front of my left leg movement and the last mile, I take her off lead and correct with snaps and verbals. She is brilliant as I can get her to "heel" with distractions already. I'm excited about the audible control I have of this dog - more than I ever had in any dog before. She is truly a follower, and I want that in a big dog like this. Any predictions on how big she will grow? I'm guessing around 75-85 pounds? Maybe a little less?
Excited to finally have a GSD. Looking forward to learning from all of you and maybe one day help others out.

Welcome from S. Florida! Sounds like you are lucky enough to have a dog that likes to learn. You should have a great time with her. Look for fun stuff like Rally, dock diving, agility. With a dog that listens that well already she should be a dream to train.

This creative interpretation most obviously hurts employers, who are fined for every employee who receives such a tax credit/subsidy to buy an exchange plan when their employer fails to comply with the mandate to provide health insurance. But it also hurts some individuals, such as David Klemencic, a lead plaintiff in Halbig. Klemencic lives in a state, West Virginia, that never established an exchange, and for various reasons he doesn't want any of the insurance options available to him. Because buying insurance would cost him more than 8% of his income, he should be immune from Obamacare's
individual mandate tax on the decision not to buy insurance. After the IRS expanded §1311 to subsidize people in states with federal exchanges, however, Klemencic could've bought health insurance for an amount low enough to again subject him to the Roberts tax.
Klemencic and plaintiffs in multiple lawsuits around the country argue that they face these costs only because the IRS exceeded the scope of its powers by extending a tax credit not authorized by Congress. The district court in Halbigrejected that argument, ruling that, under the highly deferential test courts apply to actions by administrative agencies, the IRS only had to show that its interpretation of §1311 was reasonable — which the court was satisfied it had.
And indeed so did the Fourth Circuit later today, in the case of King v. Burwellout of Virginia. There the panel found "that the applicable statutory language is ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations." When a court finds statutory ambiguity — judges are good at manufacturing it when they don't want to enforce the law as written — it defers to the agency action that purports to interpret that statute.
Here that's judicial mischief bordering on tomfoolery. Indeed, the Fourth Circuit even likely timed the release of King in a way to blunt the political/media impact of the Halbig. To have them both come down on the same day is coincidence enough, but the King opinion apparently "leaked" before counsel on the case were advised via the electronic distribution system and before the ruling was put on the court's own website, as is standard practice.
While it's manifestly the province of the judiciary to say "what the law is," where the law's text leaves no question as to its meaning — as is the case here with the phrase "established by the State" — it's neither right nor proper for a court to replace the laws passed by Congress with those of its own invention or the invention of civil servants. If Congress wants to extend the tax credit beyond the terms of the Affordable Care Act, it can do so by passing new legislation. The only reason for executive-branch officials not to go back to Congress for clarification, and instead legislate by fiat, is to bypass the democratic process, thereby undermining constitutional separation of powers.
These IRS-tax-credit cases ultimately aren't about money, the wisdom of individual health care decisionmaking, or even political opposition to Obamacare. They're about who gets to create the laws we live by: the democratically elected members of Congress or the bureaucrats charged with no more than executing the laws that Congress passes and the president signs.
The government would have the IRS and courts rewrite the law to fix its massive structural weaknesses. But neither executive-agency bureaucrats nor judges can change Obamacare's text, after-the-fact legal rationalizing notwithstanding. Today's conflicting rulings show that Obamacare, a cynical political bargain that lacked popular support from day one, simply doesn't work as conceived. It's time to repeal this Frankenstein's monster and instead pass market-based health care reform that lowers costs, expands choice, and increases quality-all while respecting the rule of law.

ABSTRACT: Tumor monosomy 3 confers a poor prognosis in patients with uveal melanoma. We critically review the techniques used for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detection of monosomy 3 in order to assess variability in practice patterns and to explain differences in results. Significant variability that has likely affected reported results was found in tissue sampling methods, selection of FISH probes, number of cells counted, and the cut-off point used to determine monosomy 3 status. Clinical parameters and specific techniques employed to report FISH results should be specified so as to allow meta-analysis of published studies. FISH-based detection of monosomy 3 in uveal melanoma has not been performed in a standardized manner, which limits conclusions regarding its clinical utility. FISH is a widely available, versatile technology, and when performed optimally has the potential to be a valuable tool for determining the prognosis of uveal melanoma.
Article: Solitary Fibrous Tumor Is There a Molecular Relationship With Cellular Angiofibroma, Spindle Cell Lipoma, and Mammary-Type Myofibroblastoma?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor characterized by ovoid cells, branching blood vessels, stromal hyalinization, and CD34 immunoreactivity. Studies have shown loss of 13q in a group of morphologically similar entities, including cellular angiofibroma, mammary-type myofibroblastoma, and spindle cell lipoma. The histologic and immunophenotypic overlap between SFT and the latter group of tumors suggests that these tumors may be genetically linked. We tested a group of 40 SFTs to assess for loss of RB1 (13q14) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). All 38 SFTs with evaluable signals failed to show loss of RB1 (13q14) by FISH. All cases of cellular angiofibroma (1/1), spindle cell lipoma (6/6), and mammary-type myofibroblastoma (4/4), which were used as a control group, showed monoallelic or biallelic loss of RB1. The absence of RB1 loss in SFTs suggests that they are not related to cellular angiofibroma, mammary-type myofibroblastoma, or spindle cell lipoma.
Article: Chromosome 3 Status in Uveal Melanoma: A Comparison of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Array[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a centromeric probe for chromosome 3 (CEP3) and 3p26 locus-specific probe with single-nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-A) analysis in the detection of high-risk uveal melanoma. Fifty cases of uveal melanoma (28 males, 22 females) treated by enucleation between 2004 and 2010 were analyzed. Fresh tissue was used for FISH and SNP-A analysis. FISH was performed using a CEP3 and a 3p26 locus-specific probe. Tumor size, location, and clinical outcome were recorded during the 7-year study period (median follow-up: 35.5 months; mean: 38.5 months). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated. Monosomy 3 was detected by FISH-CEP3 in 27 tumors (54%), FISH-3p26 deletion was found in 30 (60%), and SNP-A analysis identified 31 (62%) of the tumors with monosomy 3. Due to technical failures, FISH and SNP-A were noninterpretable in one case (2%) and two cases (4%), respectively. In both cases of SNP-A failure, tumors were positive for FISH 3p26 deletion and in a single case of FISH failure, monosomy 3 was found using SNP-A. No statistically significant differences were observed in any of the sensitivity or specificity measures. For prediction of survival at 36 months, FISH CEP3, FISH 3p26, and SNP-A were comparable. A combination of prognostication techniques should be used in an unlikely event of technical failure (2%-4%).
Article: Fernandez AP, Sun Y, Tubbs RR, Goldblum JR, Billings SDFISH for MYC amplification and anti-MYC immunohistochemistry: useful diagnostic tools in the assessment of secondary angiosarcoma and atypical vascular proliferations. J Cutan Pathol 39: 234-242[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Secondary angiosarcoma and benign but microscopically atypical vascular proliferations (herein referred to as atypical vascular lesion or AVL) are rare consequences of radiation therapy and/or chronic lymphedema most commonly seen in breast cancer patients. Differentiating angiosarcoma from AVL can be difficult due to overlapping clinical and microscopic features. Recently, amplification of MYC has been associated with 55-100% of secondary angiosarcomas but is reportedly absent in AVL. We examined a series of secondary angiosarcoma and AVL for MYC amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and expression by immunohistochemistry to investigate the diagnostic utility for discriminating angiosarcoma from AVL. Cases of secondary angiosarcoma (n = 8) and AVL (n = 4) were retrieved from our archives and examined by FISH and immunohistochemistry. All angiosarcoma cases (8/8 = 100%) demonstrated high-level MYC amplification by FISH, whereas all AVLs (0/4 = 0%) were negative for MYC amplification. Additionally, all angiosarcoma cases (8/8 = 100%) demonstrated nuclear positivity for MYC, whereas all AVLs (0/4 = 0%) were negative. Amplification of MYC and nuclear expression of MYC is present in secondary angiosarcoma but not AVL. These ancillary tests can be useful to distinguish angiosarcoma from AVL in difficult cases.
Article: Co-amplification of the HER2 gene and chromosome 17 centromere: A potential diagnostic pitfall in HER2 testing in breast cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Co-amplification of the centromere on chromosome 17 (CEP17) and HER2 can occur in breast cancer. Such aberrant patterns (clusters) on CEP17 can be misleading to calculate the HER2/CEP17 ratio, and thus underreporting of HER2 amplification. We identified 14 breast cancers retrospectively with HER2/CEP17 co-amplification and performed FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) with additional chromosome 17 probes (17p11.1-q11.1, 17p11.2-p12, TP53 on 17p13.1, RARA on 17q21.1-3 and TOP2 on 17q21.3-22) to characterize the spanning of the amplicon in these cases. Furthermore, the HER2 status was analyzed by means of HER2 silver in situ hybridization (SISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The co-amplification of HER2/CEP17 was compared between the three institutions. TP53 was eusomic in all cases, 17p11.2-p12 in 79% (11/14), whereas 17p11.1-q11.1 showed chromosomal gain in all cases. RARA was amplified in 10/14 cases (71%) and TOP2 in 3/14 cases (21%). HER2 was amplified with FISH/SISH in all 14 cases. 9/14 tumors were 3+ IHC positive (64%) and 3 cases were 2+ IHC positive. In our cohort the CEP17 amplicon almost always involves the HER2 but not the TOP2 locus. Overall agreement on HER2/CEP17 ratio (when applying ASCO/CAP guidelines) was only 64% (9/14 cases) between the institutions. Discrepant ratios varied from 1.1 to 14.3. The HER2/CEP17 co-amplification is not defined in the ASCO/CAP guidelines, and may result in inaccurate HER2-FISH/SISH status, particularly if only the calculated HER2/CEP17 ratio is reported. It is recommended to report separate CEP17 and HER2 signals in complex HER2/CEP17 patterns.

Might be a weird question but can I ask what font this is?
i like it !
is that a dock?
Erm, nope. :>
how to do that?
Heh, do what exactly?
how to change the desktop icons. like yours
The icons, I've used them few shoots back. Cool concept too.
What exactly do the icons in the middle do? Does the music one link to your music folder or winamp or something? I'm curious :b
The left one opens Chrome, the middle opens Explorer, and you're right about the music one, it opens Winamp. :>
looks awesome!
This looks great, but what's the vs?
Its probably the default theme of windows 8.1 . Either that or a residue effect from trying out different themes. But more likely the default theme.
Awesome set up man, just done it myself. Thanks for the links. But how did you get the date to be black? I've not edited Rainmeter code before but I've just been playing about and I've got a pretty decent understanding of it now. Anyway, when I change the colour code it doesn't change at all. Could you possibly just past me the line of code you used?
Alright, I'll try to explain this.
****** is used to depict that something exists but can have different names and values.
Short Version: (Won't really teach you much, but will get the job done)
Open :
Rainmeter Folder -> Skins -> Elegance -> Variables -> Styles.ini
Add :
Save and exit.
Open :
Rainmeter Folder -> Skins -> Elegance -> Date -> Date_white1.ini
Find [MeterYear] and edit it to look like this:
Save and exit.
Load Date_white1.ini from your rainmeter application. Now your date should be black.
Longer and a bit more explained version (Useful, if you are interested in editing rainmeter skins)
So once you open the .ini of the date, you scroll down and you see [MeterYear] , then you go under to check for anything that includes "style" or "color" (This goes for most rainmeter skins).
You'll find a line like "MeterStyle=******" , or "FontColor=******". If the line is FontColor, then you can directly edit the "*****" part to any color you want. (RGB or HEX).
For RGB, the format is "Red Value , Green Value, Blue Value, Transparency Value(ranges from 0 -> transparent to 255 -> opaque).
For HEX, its the hex code.
Now if the line is "MeterStyle=xxxxxx", you should scroll in .ini file, and look for a line that starts with something like "include= ******.ini" . This line basically says that the things inside the "******.ini" file is also used in this. So the next thing you want to do is open the ****.ini that is included. The path to this .ini is usually stated in the "include" statement.
NOTE: A file may contain different included settings, so try and figure out which one is relevant for you. (In this case, since we are editing the style of a string, you want to open the .ini that is included under [Styles])
Once, the included .ini file is open, you want to look for the part of the code, that starts with whatever value is assigned to "MeterStyle=*******" in the .ini of the actual skin. (look at the top of this reply). In this segment, you find all the details of the string like font, color, size, etc. For you, since you want to edit the color, look for the line that goes like "FontColor=******". You can either put the value in HEX format or RGB format(look at the top of this reply to see their formats)
NOTE: Personally, I create a new meterstyle if I want to change the looks and things, because I don't like to remove things for original programs. But, its totally upto you.
What theme is this? Looks nice.
I can't really put the finger on it mate. I think its the default windows 8.1 theme, or its some sort of residue from trying out different themes.
Cool shot

Over the years, I have seen many requests for Windows Authentication support for Microsoft Dynamics GP, and I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. In theory, it sounds good, but in practice it may be a threat to your customer's financial information security.
Regardless of authentication method, users will still have to select a company to access which defeats the purpose of having a single sign-on.
If we have true Windows Authentication, then a workstation left unattended without being locked, could be used to access the financial system without the additional level of security of requiring a login. Also, if Windows Authentication is used, the password will not be encrypted (see article below).
The encryption of the passwords is what prevents access to the financial data using external tools to access the SQL Server. Having an encrypted password means that you must use the Microsoft Dynamics GP application to access the data and so are then subject to the application's security system. You cannot bypass the application level security as the password will not work from an external tool.
When a customer asks for Windows Authentication, I think we should not apologize and say that it is not supported. Instead we should sell the benefits of having an extra level of security provided by SQL Server Authentication with encrypted passwords. This extra level will protect the customer's valuable financial data.
Note: There are some third party ISV solutions which can synchronize the SQL user names and passwords with the Windows user names and passwords. While this simplifies the system by not having to remember more than once password, it is not true Windows Authentication. [Edit] Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 now has the option to remember the user name and password as well as the company selection.
For more information related to this topic, have a look at the following article:
Why does Microsoft Dynamics GP encrypt passwords?
Why does Microsoft Dynamics GP encrypt passwords?
Post a comment and let me know what you think?
11-Dec-2009: Added follow up comment:
Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying I don't want Windows Authentication, just that the extra layer of security with a second login and encrypted password can be a good thing.
I think we should sell the benefits of the way it works now rather than getting defensive when asked by a customer about Windows Authentication.
I would like to see both methods supported in future so that the customer can choose what they want.
The idea of this post WAS to start an open discussion on the topic.... so please keep posting your thoughts as comments.
15-Jun-2010: Added info about new Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 feature to remember user name and password.
Excellent blog. I have been installing and upgrading GP since 1995 and this question always comes up. I have always believed in using SQL Authentication for GP for the reasons you stated.
Once I explain to the client the danger of unsing Windows Authentication, the client agrees with my position.
One other thing I tell them is with Windows Authentication a user can access the SQL tables using Excel or Access and damage data as well.
The extra level of security is a sketchy argument at best because a user with more passwords tends to use common ones or simple ones, or worse - write them down somewhere.
Leaving a workstation unlocked - what if they leave a workstation unlocked with Dynamics up? That is probably a common scenario - I can walk by our accounting department and see Dynamics up and being used most of the day. I would assume when they walk away from their computer and it is not locked then there will be an instance of Dynamics running. So with or without Windows Authentication that is a problem.
Single click login - if that is your goal then store in a config file what company that user was last logged into. Use that persisted vaue to open the Dynamics company and they can switch companies if they need to. 95% of the time the accounting users in our company are in one company.
Bypassing application level security is easy to do - just have a DBA manually add a user to the Dynamics databases - there in and writing reports using SSRS.
Not using Windows authentication causes Dynamics database restores when you have to move sql server hosts to be a PITA. It can be done but you have to run scripts to capture the logins instead of just doing a restore. If you've just had a disaster and the server is in trouble that might not be an option. So you have to have a scheduled task to run that login capture script along with the backups.
By not using Windows authentication you've made adding a user a very high priveleged operation where somebody at one time will know the Dynamics user password (this might have changed recently).
What happens if another application creates Sql Logins like Dynamics does? Now you've forced them to create additional database servers because of the Dynamics password encryption. That might be a best practice, but adding Sql Server instances is one more maintenance addition.
If you were to use Windows Authentication adding a user to Dynamics could be as easy as adding them to a Domain Group that has Dynamics login permissions in the database.
It seems like Microsoft is pushing everything towards Windows Authentication in databases. Why be a Microsoft product and act like Domains don't exist.
The flip side of the argument is that Microsoft's larger message is that Windows Authentication is preferred. You see it in all kinds of public messaging from Microsoft about SQL server and SQL server applications. Users and prospect get confused because MS pushes Windows authentication and then doesn't supply it for GP. It definitely creates perception problems in the marketplace and resentment when working with client DBA's.
In terms of leaving things unsecured, I have those same issues with everything else that uses Windows authentication including SQL Server. Someone could do just as much damage with access to signed in SQL Management Studio session. (like delete db).
I'd like to see Windows authentication. I think it sends an important message to the marketplace that Dynamics is an important part of Microsoft's business mix.
Hi David
I would have to agree with you. I think financial information should be secured separately from other business information. With Windows Authentication there is too much room for access to the financial data from the client systems especially with more and more MS Office integrated tools.
Post from MSDynamicsWorld.com
Post from DynamicAccounting.net
Added security? I agree with many of Mike Doerfler comments above. If a naive user is willing to leave the system open and logged into windows, they are also more than likely going to leave it logged into Dynamics GP as well. I can take care of inactivity issues on the OS with Group Policy.
But, which is the lesser of the two evils? I still believe that Windows Authetication to financial data provides more room for security breaches.
Mariano Gomez, MVP
If a Dynamics GP installation included only the Dexterity-based Dynamics GP application, I would be indifferent about the authentication method used, and would probably lean more towards using SQL authentication as currently implemented. However, Dynamics GP is no longer a standalone application.
We are using live Excel spreadsheets, ODC's, SharePoint components, SSRS and Crystal. In addition, with the latest "improvements" to the security model it is difficult bordering on impossible retrieve the SQL authentication information required to create connections with some other integrating applications.
As the trend appears to be that these majority of reporting and ancillary components are being added outside the core Dynamics GP application, the development, implementation and administration of security is becoming more involved. I am in favour of using a single authentication method for all data access for a single user. I have no issue with SQL Server authentication, but unless all other components are moving to that model, Windows authentication should be made available to the core application as well. Consistency is crucial!
Hi All
With the current implementation of Dexterity tables and other resources at the SQL Server level, once you have access to a database, you can access any table in that database.
So with Windows Authentication, you will have access to the system and company databases including all of the tables.
With SQL Authentication with an encrypted password, while the application can access all the tables, the application level security prevents access to forms, reports and tables that a user should not be able to access.
Because the password is encrypted, it is not possible to access the data using SQL Authentication from other "data aware" applications. So this application level security cannot be bypassed.
If we implement Windows Authentication, then we will also need to implement permissions in SQL at the table level to provide the same level of security.
From a programming perspective, this will cause all kinds of issues when Dexterity table commands fail due to SQL permissions.... and this time you can't run GRANT.SQL to fix it.
I'm sorry. I just don't buy it!
I have written applications for my company that run on SQL with Windows Authentication, and I understand the security issues. With the tools available in SQL Server, AD security groups, and Group Policy, you can lock down databases so that no one can gain access. Additionally, you can set password policies by securtiy group to strengthen security even more.
Using SQL Server Authentication doubles the number of user accounts to be managed by the security administrator. A simple role based security model could be maintained by associating GP roles with AD security groups. SQL Authentication also requires additional administrative time when moving databases from one server to another. This is completely avoided with Windows Authentication.
Granted, it will take an extensive re-write of the application. But, moving costs to your customers is never the best way to serve them.
Lynn Huff
I agree with Lynn Huff. I believe that Windows Authentication provides enough ways to secure the financial data of Dynamics GP. Besides this is the integration issue, as kpollard saids, more and more we need to interact from outside the Dynamics security scope with the data, and is difficult to manage both security types, even eConnect uses Windows Authentication. So I think that WA should be a must in not so long term releases of Dynamics GP.
David Ayala
Hi all
Please keep the feedback and comments coming.
The product management team are aware of the issue and this post and its comments.
Excellent discussion everyone! We are certainly aware of the request to integrate Windows Authentication into Microsoft Dynamics GP. Not surprisingly perhaps, we receive feedback on both sides of this debate (SQL vs. Windows Auth). While we chose not to make the Windows Auth investment in our next release, we have added a new option which would allow users to have the application remember their User ID, password, and last company...enabling a very rapid and automated process for those customers who desire a fast login (this new option can be disabled at the system level).
We'll definitely continue to monitor feedback on this issue, and welcome all opinions on the matter. Thanks!

Full disclosure: I work at Fastpath but I am taking off the FP hat for this post and going to post as an IT auditor.
One major drawback to switching authentication modes is audit trails. AX and SL have made the move from SQL auth to Windows Auth. In doing so, they destroyed the audit trail at the database level. All DB updates are made by one user making it a massive challenge to determine who made a change to financial data. Many of the AX and SL companies we work with get dinged for this in each audit. So Dave can add improved audit trails to the list of why SQL auth is better.
A second drawback is cost and level of effort. To make the auth mode switch, the Fargo team needs to touch the code in every place the db is updated. In fact, that change alone might take all the GP dev resources an entire release cycle. GP12's new feature list? Windows Auth. That's it. See you next year.
As previously mentioned, using the AD policy for inactivity is a sufficient control for unattended work station risk at most companies. That said, most auditors do not like SSO for financial applications. For our SSO solution, we had to provide a login option by user before our audit team would allow us to release the application. This option allows the functionality to be turned off for users with sensitive or high risk access.
The Remember Me feature in GP2010 is a great option for smaller installations but there are a few drawbacks.
1) It's a system-wide setting so it's all or nothing. If there is one user or workstation that should not have this functionality (think Payroll and Purchasing) it will have to be turned off.
2) It is permissible to save the 'sa' and DYNSA userIDs which is a major risk on both the financial and the IT side. If there is a change in the GP security model, I would love to see the elimination of 'sa' usage in GP.
3) There is no reporting for the feature (this may be missing in the Beta and available later). It is impossible to tell who has it turned on and what userID is being stored. These will be standard questions auditors will ask during any routine audit.

That was a rare and gracious tribute to American power. But it also served to highlight Germany's dependence on U.S. might for her defense. Now, a small contingent of German troops is serving with NATO forces in Afghanistan, and Germans are dying in defense of freedom for the first time in their long history. Germans are increasingly a part of a coalition of the unwilling. German soldiers in Afghanistan are openly questioning Berlin, demanding of Chancellor Merkel the reason they are in that war-torn country.
Germany can shrug. Atlas can't. That's why the U.S. cannot maintain military strength and Euro-socialism at the same time. Perhaps that's what this administration really wants. President Obama's curious--very curious--statement that we are a dominant military superpower "whether we like it or not" was most revealing. It was a statement from the soul of a Peace Prize winner, from the heart of a nuclear pacifist.
It may well be that this crisis that liberals don't want to waste is being used precisely to end America's role as the world's dominant military superpower. It may be that the pacifist wing of the Democratic Party, the wing that nominated Obama, intends to use the VAT and ObamaCare as a means of disarming the U.S.
Soviet military power eventually collapsed because spending grew out of control. The Soviets had to leave Afghanistan. The left has always resented America's ability to project force. Perhaps they understand there's more than one way to bring the troops home.
Meanwhile, it is increasingly clear: If Obama keeps his majorities in Congress, he will give us a VAT. As endangered Freshman Tom Periello (D-Va.) memorably put it: "Unless you tie our hands, we'll keep stealing."
President Obama's Republican opponents have united around the theme of repealing ObamaCare. Now, they must add to that opposition another binding pledge: Stop VAT.
Rush Limbaugh defends Rubio's debate answer: He's absolutely right that Obama knows what he's doing | Allahpundit

BEGBIES TRAYNOR administrators have been called to listed property business All Points North.
Paul Stanley (pictured) and Kenneth Pattullo have been appointed joint-administrators to All Points North. The company has a range of properties including commercial and residential in its portfolio.
Further reading
The company ran into trouble when two of its tenants became insolvent last year, as Kendal Carpet Warehouse and College House Furness PC left All Points North with outstanding rental payments.
It announced turnover reduced to £151,450 compared to £163,429 for the same period a year before in its December unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September.
Three months later in March, the company suspended shares pending clarification of its financial position. All Points North said it was in discussions with its lender Clydesdale Bank, which wanted full repayment of its £5.1m loan to be made by 30 April.
All Points North hoped to dispose of several properties to repay that debt.
However, in May the bank agreed to extend the repayment period to 30 September.
Unfortunately, the company announced in August its bankers had "withdrawn their support", and the business was unable to continue trading as a going concern.

We are back with another addition to the debugging fundamentals series here in 2009! Regardless of your debugging experience we hope you enjoy this one. Don't worry too much if you can't answer them all but give them your best shot.
The problem:
While debugging an application, a developer observes a crash and is puzzled. The developer saves a memory dump of the process using the command ".dump /ma dbgex4.dmp" and sends it to you for debug assistance.
0:000> r
eax=53454750 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000100 edx=000001b0 esi=001bfe20 edi=00ac36bc
eip=47414d45 esp=001bfe00 ebp=4f564552 iopl=0 nv up ei pl zr na pe nc
cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00010246
47414d45 ?? ???
The attached zip, dbgex4.zip, includes three files. The program itself, the program's symbols file and the saved memory dump file. (NOTE: You do not need to execute the program for the exercise however you may want to in order to solve the bonus'. You will need to rename the file dbgex4.ex_ to dbgex4.exe in order to run it).
Using the accompanying files, answer the following questions:
Part One – Debugging
1. What caused the access violation?
2. Examine the registers at the time of the crash. Is there anything interesting about the contents?
3. How did the registers get into this state?
4. Find the offending data structure which caused this state to occur. What are its contents?
5. Are there security concerns with this access violation? Why?
6. Why is this class of crashes not seen in the wild much anymore?
Part Two – Reverse Engineering
Examine the functions main(), snap(), crack(), pop(), and boom().
1. Describe with a sentence or two what each one is doing. (There is no need to comment on every assembly instruction or re-write the code in C here unless you really feel you need to.)
1. If this access violation occurred while the program was running without a debugger present, would there be anything different about the crashing register state or the data structure which caused it? If so what is it and why? (HINT: If you would like to observe the crashing state like this, you can register windbg.exe to be the Just-In-Time debugger using the –I switch like so "windbg.exe -I". When you run the dbgex4.exe program, it will crash and windbg.exe will launch automatically and attach to it.)
2. The functions from "Part Two – Reverse Engineering" perform operations on a set of data. During this manipulation some data is lost. Find this data and decode its "secret" message.
1 - Stack is overwritten, so ret in boom causes return to a bad address which isn't valid
2 - EAX has some custom value, EBP still looks good showing some previous function calls
3 - Executed up through boom function
4 - Not copying here =)
5 - It's a buffer overflow, a common way to gain execution if a bug is around
6 - cookies are usually on the stack where static buffers are used in order to detect this problem
Part 2
- snap - copy struct from memory into reserved area on stack to perform later operations
- crack - swap all the values in the structure (last byte now first byte, etc.), then find offset to in struct to first instance of 0xC3
- pop - move everything up by the offset found in crack
- boom - copy from struct to local buffer until zero is found, a little too much
Part 3
1 - Didn't try this
2- GAMEOVER Happy debugging courtesy of Platforms GES!<DBGNINJA>
so where do we find the answers, and better yet, the step through to solve this?
1) What causes the AV?
Buffer overrun which damages the return address (among other things)
2) Examine the registers at the time of the crash. Is there anything interesting about the contents?
The EIP and EBP contain "funny" values. These are, in fact, hints to solving the problem.
3) How did the registers get into this state?
As part of function cleanup code, EBP is restored to a previous value (0x4f564552 in this case, the actual value (0x001bfe04) has been overwritten)
EIP will be automatically loaded with the return address saved on stack prior to function invocation (0x47414d45 in this case, actual value (0x00ac123b) has been overwritten)
4) Find the offending data structure which caused this state to occur. What are its contents?
The offending data structure is a null-terminated character buffer. It is a literal 'GAMEOVER Happy debugging courtesy of Platforms GES!' written backwards. The length of the buffer is 8 bytes longer than the allotted stack space - hence the overrun.
5) Are there security concerns with this access violation? Why?
Well, altering the return address could lead to execution of injected hostile code
6) Why is this class of crashes not seen in the wild much anymore?
Recent compilers have built-in support against buffer overruns (Stack Guard on GCC, '/GS' flag on Visual Studio). Link for more info.
1) Describe with a sentence or two what each one is doing. (There is no need to comment on every assembly instruction or re-write the code in C here unless you really feel you need to.)
a) main() allocates 76 (0x4c) bytes of stack space and invokes snap with the address to the buffer
b) snap(0x001bfe20)
> makes a copy of global buffer named 'string', size of 61 (0x3d) bytes (counted to the null-terminator)
> invokes crack (by jumping directly to it)
c) crack(0x001bfe20)
> reverses the buffer
> locates the 0xc3 byte in the string and invokes pop() providing it with initial buffer's address and position to the byte next to 0xc3
d) pop(0x001bfe20, 0xc)
> copies the bytes following 0xc3 until the null-terminator to the original buffer starting from the beginning (0x001bfe20)
> invokes boom with the address of the buffer
e) boom(0x001bfe20)
> allocates stack for buffer of size 0x2c (0x34-0x2c=8 bytes offending difference)
> makes a copy of the buffer (to the null-terminator)
> decodes the string by ORing source byte divided by 16 with source byte multipled by 16
1) The decoded buffer (which caused the overrun) is not present on stack

I have not had a chance to download the attachment but based on a quick look and having seen a lot of things like this in the past, I think I can offer a few answers shooting from the hip.
1. What caused the access violation?
Not having looked at the dump, I would say that some sort of stack destruction was the culprit.
2. Examine the registers at the time of the crash. Is there anything interesting about the contents?
Absolutely - EIP and EBP (as well as EAX) all appear to have some sort of ASCII text (4 bytes) stored in them.
3. How did the registers get into this state?
My guess is some sort of data overrun. A temporary stack location used to hold a string and a sprintf() or similar call overran that buffer on the stack.
4. Find the offending data structure which caused this state to occur. What are its contents?
Have not had a chance to look deeply into that.
5. Are there security concerns with this access violation? Why?
Yes. Malware can take advantage of this overrun and have valid instructions written instead of just text (ASCII). Carefully crafted destruction can wreak all kinds of havoc and compromise security on a node (or worse).
6. Why is this class of crashes not seen in the wild much anymore?
Hopefully, because developers are using Visual Studio 2005 (or newer) and have taken heed of the warnings about using unsafe functions such as sprintf(), strcat(), etc. Best practices would be to modify existing code to use the secure C run time functions (like sprintf_s()) to help prevent buffer overruns and data corruption.
Just my 2 cents from looking at only the register dump. Here's hoping that many years of seeing this type of footprint has served me well.
Hi GES team.
Nice day and thanks for the "Happy debugging".
The secret message is the following:
GAMEOVER Happy debugging courtesy of Platforms GES!
Anyway, the access violation is caused by a corruption of stack, the edp is corrupted and move the eip to an incorrect memory area. This memory area cannot read/write. Code resides only in a read memory area.
The data structure used to corrupt the stack is the following:
char buf[] = {0x74, 0x11, 0xD4, 0x54};
This crash is a protection introduced by the DEP. This feature provides the ability to sign a memory area that can be read or read/write. This protection try to avoid a runtime injection of malicious code.
Is very difficult to introduce this kind of error in the day by day programming work.
the number of things done wrong in this program, are hard to count,
lets see, procedures without returns, procedure that doesn't rebalance the stack (cause of crash), no string sanitization, string coping onto the buffer, the list is long and bad.
Cause of access violation, I didn't look too hard, but simply, setup stack frame and then returns without disassembling the stack from, but from what I could see, you might overright the proper return address to boot.
return caused eip, eax was set, the others I didn't look at, not sure if SEH changed ebp or if it was overwritten, didn't check too hard, the program is rather one big mess.
The EIP and EBP value really suggested that this is a stack overridden problem. The value itself suggest it looks like the stack is overridden by a string. use command 'dda esp-100 esp' and search the EBP value from the result I can see that the EBP is actually be overridden by the string "!SEG smroftalP fo ysetruoc gniggubed yppaH REVOEMAG"
Stack is got overridden. The program is try to write a string into an array on the stack, whose size is however less than the string length thus the stack content is got overridded by the rest of the string. And unfortunately the data that is got overridden is the return address. Thus when the RET instructment is called a wrong address is put into EIP, which causes the access violation.
EIP=47414d45, EBP=4f564552. The content of the hex numbers looks really like an array of chars if we read it as (47-41-4d-45) and (4f-56-45-52), all groups is actually a ASCII reprentation of an letter.
Explained in the 1st question
"!SEG smroftalP fo ysetruoc gniggubed yppaH REVOEMAG"
Yes. By override the return address by some well designed data (say, an address of a function which is injected by the hacker) a hacker can hijack the program to do whatever he wants
1. Use the new _s family can avoid stack overriden
2. Use static code analysis can find the suspecious places
3. use STL-like well deisgned C++ data structure rather than the raw C data structures can avoid the problem.

Top 10 Best Horror Movies
Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is my first article so cut me some slack.
10. Alice, Sweet Alice (aka Communion)
It is about this girl named Alice who is jealous of her little sister, Karen. During Karen's first communion, Alice is nowhere to be found until someone who we think is Alice in a mask comes around a corner and strangles Karen. She drags her to a piano stool and places her in there with a burning candle in her hands. A nun later discovers Karen and everyone in the church soon finds out that Karen is dead. The rest of the movie is just about uncovering who really killed Karen. It's not really a scary movie it's more of a whodunnit. It does have some freaky moments. I highly recommend this to a more mature audience.
9. Scream
I think this movie is a work of art. It focuses on how frightening it can be to answer the phone. It also talks about the dangers of stalkers and the feeling of being watched in the comfort of your own home.
8. The Burning
Most people that see this might call it rip-off of Friday the 13th, but I think that it is an underrated masterpiece. There is so much stuff I like about this film, but the thing I like most is how hideous the killer looks.
7. Evil Dead
This is one of the grossest movies I have ever seen. It's also pretty creepy because this is something that could probably actually happen. This makes cabins in the middle of nowhere terribly terrifying.
6. The Blair Witch Project
This used to scare the crap out of me because i live in an area with a lot of trees. I always used to think it was real until I found out it wasn't. It still gives me an occasional chill now and then because this was based on a true story. Anything based on a true story or inspired by true events is way scarier than anything else.
5. Night Of The Living Dead
What can I say? This is the best and only good zombie film ever. This was one of the few movies to have an African-American lead at the time. It was probably the first movie to use gore in the way that it did. There is never a dull moment in this movie. There's nothing further left to say.
4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
I love it and think everyone else does too. The remake was okay, but why should they mess with a good thing? The only thing weird about it is that the remake is really gory, but the original has virtually no blood in it. I think that with all the remakes lately, the reputation for these kinds of movies gets ruined.
3. Madman
I think this has one of the best killers in movie history. The music is horrifying, the killer is hideous, and the victims are stupid and clueless. The perfect elements of a horror movie. This makes Madman another underrated classic. This movie should be known better.
2. Halloween
Again, why mess with a good thing? They should have just left this alone. It's fine where it is. This is the kind of movie forces you to sleep with a night light. The music will scare the stuff out of you and Mike himself will give you nightmares.
1. Friday the 13th
This is the ultimate revenge story. I love Jason, but his mom was pretty badass too. This shows you what lengths a mother would go to for revenge. Those people deserve it. He is the only killer I root for to kill people. The remake was mediocre.
There you have it. Don't forget to comment and tell me what u think.
