If Ben Smith's alert level wasn't high before this season, it probably is now. When you're waiting to find out which line you're on, whether you're centering or at wing, you have to be on your toes.
"That's the thing with Q: you never know," said Smith. "It's being aware on the bench, paying attention and that's big for us, making sure we don't get caught on any line changes."
If hockey had a designated utility player, Smith could probably fit the description. Much like Brandon Saad this season, Smith has played on the wings, at center, and has danced up and down the lines. For Smith, it's usually been the fourth line with Brandon Bollig and Marcus Kruger or on the second line. By the end of Wednesday, he was centering Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane. Not a bad gig.
"It's tough to beat playing with those two, I think," said Smith, who was driving the net when Kane scored the game-winning goal in the Blackhawks' 4-3 overtime victory on Wednesday. "It was fun there in the third and in overtime. They gave me some great opportunities there. Fortunately, Kaner came through there. We were just talking on the bench last night; we were having a good time. We were rolling, having the puck a lot. It was only a matter of time we thought it was going to happen and sure enough Kaner made it happen."
[MORE: Niklas Hjalmarsson sacrificing body for Blackhawks' success]
Smith has given the Blackhawks options this postseason. He's shared time at second-line center with Michal Handzus, who has been critical to the team's penalty kill. The Kane-Smith-Sharp combo had their share of opportunities on Wednesday night; Smith, himself, had two or three great scoring chances.
Teammates aren't surprised that Smith's always ready for whatever comes his way.
"He's ready to go, whatever role, whether he's getting a lot of ice time or maybe not too much," Jonathan Toews said. "He's ready to play well and be effective any way he can when he's on the ice, and I think that's just his attitude and his work ethic. He's another guy that we need to be playing well. He's going out there and in any way, shape or form, he's trying to be effective."
[RELATED: Momentum has swung in Blackhawks' favor]
Coach Joel Quenneville loves versatility in all his players, so he appreciates what Smith brings.
"It's a great asset to have as a player. Being a multi-tasker is a great tribute to certain guys," he said. "You get more quality ice time and you have a longer career because you have more opportunities. He's done a nice job."
Smith's definitely alert at all times, be it on ice wherever he's slotted or on the bench, when he's about to find out. It can get a little hectic. But he's playing, he's playing well, and he's giving the Blackhawks options.
"It keeps me guessing a little bit on the bench," Smith said. "I'm just trying to have some quick reminders for me before shifts, before faceoffs, 'Hey, you're playing right wing. This is your job.' And then when I'm taking draws and playing center, I'm just trying to go through what I want to do on the shift and where I want to be. I'm just trying to give myself small mental reminders before going into a shift."

The Seelie Court by miholunatiqueWatch
©2013-2016 miholunatique
Just after the sun sets, the seelie court rides out: lyres and flutes and bells chiming, banners flowing, and stardust sparkling from fairy wings.
This is so beautiful. You can imagine them moving.
Amazing work! love the shading and colores, everything!
That sky O_o It is amazing!! And I love the whole picture of course
Nice job on the lighting! This is a beautiful piece of work, the only critique I can offer is that to me the way the focal character is sitting on the bird looks a little awkward.
Thank you for the critique! Indeed,it was a little bit awkward trying to figure out how someone might sit on a bird without covering its wings...I think next time I need to use more reference photos : )
They're so cute! Lovely colors, very fitting. Is the an Unseelie Court version somewhere?

Aging, Gender and Neighbourhood Determinants of Distance Traveled: A Multilevel Analysis in the Hamilton CMA
The objective of this study is to investigate the determinants of mean trip distance traveled by different mode types. The study uses data from the Hamilton CMA in Canada, and multilevel models to investigate demographic aging factors, gender differentials, and neighbourhood attributes on distance traveled. The results of the study validate previous findings regarding the decline in distance traveled as age advances. In addition, it is found that: 1) While this effect of age is present for all modes analyzed (car-driving, car-passenger, and bus) it is considerably more marked for car-driving; 2) There are significant gender effects compounded by the interrelated factors of employment constraints, household dynamics, and greater reliance on travel modes other than car driving; and 3) Neighbourhoods with high commercial and residential mix showed a negative relation with distance traveled only in the case of car-driver.

Headquarters at Seaport District, which opens Nov. 18, replacing cells with shops, restaurants
Retired police officers, ex-cons, judges and clerks would recognize the place if they squint really hard.
Their old home north of Seaport Village, vacant since the San Diego Police Department headquarters moved in 1987, is in the final rush to reopen Nov. 18 as The Headquarters at Seaport District.
"This is the race to the finish," said Alex Tiflis, Terramar Retail Centers senior vice president for development.
The $65 million historic adaptive reuse by Terramar, also owner of Seaport Village, will include four restaurants and 18 shops on opening day, with more expected in 2014.
The 100,000-square-foot complex, opened in 1939 as a federal Depression-era project, has been cleaned up, re-landscaped and updated with new glass storefronts, fountains and exterior lighting. Retained are historic elements that have made the Spanish Colonial revival-styled station a downtown landmark: the signature tower, tile roof, interior courtyard, wrought-iron bars and Mexican tilework.
Terramar has spent about $40 million in construction, and the tenants have budgeted between $200 and $600 per square foot for an overall cost of perhaps $25 million, Tiflis said.
On a recent hard-hat tour, it was evident that some spaces were ready for guests and others were weeks away from completion. But that's the nature of new construction, when the most visual elements don't come together until the last minute.
"It's organized chaos," said Rick Urban of Quality Controlled Manufacturing, surrounded by a dozen or more workers installing fixtures and decorative elements in the Cheesecake Factory restaurant space.
Most complete was Seasons 52, a 9,900-square-foot space on the Kettner Boulevard side of the building. All the tables, chairs, artwork and lighting fixtures were in place in the dining and bar areas.
Rikin Lahkani said his construction contractors knew what was expected, having built the company's first San Diego outlet at University Towne Centre.
"Our commitment was to make sure the building stays as close as it had originally been," Lahkani said. "The shell and interior is what we had to work with. You see that we've kept the (exposed) ceiling fully intact and that's the focal point of the restaurant."
Seasons 52, which is known for keeping portions at 475 calories each, splurged on the interior design, with rich woods, understated lighting fixtures and outdoor patio spaces.
"I think we're very privileged and humbled to be part of this," he said.
Meanwhile, sister restaurant Eddie V's is not expected to open until early next year in a space originally occupied by a courtroom on the west side of the project facing Pacific Highway. Its skylights have been reglazed and uncovered to let in natural light, as have several others in the complex.
Across the entrance to the north, Pizzeria Mozza is holding off for now on a private dining room upstairs while outfitting the downstairs with a takeout pizza station and sushi-style pizza bar, where you'll be able to watch your pizza being assembled. The lower level will also feature a private dining area.
The much-anticipated pizzeria is a collaboration of celebrity restaurateurs Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich and Nancy Silverton, whose first Mozza opened in Los Angeles.
None of the retail shops was anywhere near completion, but many construction workers were on site installing fixtures, painting and getting ready to install display shelves, checkout desks and other furnishings.
The exterior landscaping was mostly complete, nearly all of it involving low-water-using plant materials akin to what's common in Tucson.
A last-minute change order required the chipping out of old grout in the courtyard, removing (and numbering) the pavers, and resetting them in the same spots. Several mature palm trees were retained or relocated and the courtyard's fountain is being restored to working order.
Terramar struggled for years to reopen the building when it won a 40-year lease from the San Diego Unified Port District, just as the recession hit. Financing became tricky and tenants were wary of signing for new spaces.
But opening now as the economy is picking up is turning out to be a lucky break.
"It's definitely much more favorable timing than we had in 2008, '09 and early '10," Tiflis said. "People are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and now we're opening at a time where the economy is definitely showing stability and getting a little bit of strength."
Some old features of the former use remain in view. A set of 5-foot-by-8-foot jail cells has been retained and interior designers will be outfitting them as they looked in the 1940s and '50s, Terramar spokeswoman Jennifer Gordon said. Outside the cellblock is a pair of slammers — devices that allowed guards to open and close the cells using a circular lever. That's the origin of the slang term for prison or jail. They really do slam the bars open and shut.
The old, three-level, 15,000-square-foot gym at the southeast corner of the site remains unleased. Tiflis said it would be ideal if one user moved in but several tenants are proposing to take only some of the space.
"With time and as more people discover it, we'll have an opportunity to showcase it with one restaurant or split it up," he said.
The opening is being preceded Nov. 17 with a gala, heralded by a paddy wagon delivering chiefs and other police officials who previously worked at the station.
When the building opens the next day, validated parking will be available in the Seaport Village lot and by valet attendants.
Meanwhile, Tiflis said negotiations with the port are heading for completion early next year. The port board had previously given general assent to plans to redevelop the early 1980s complex and include a hotel and parking garage.

Article: Preparation of hydrido(vinylidene)ruthenium(II) complexes and a one-pot synthesis of Grubbs-type ruthenium carbenes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Treatment of the hydrido(dihydrogen) compound [RuHCl(H2)(PCy3)2] 1 with alkynes RC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH (R=H, Ph) afforded the hydrido(vinylidene) complexes [RuHCl(=C=CHR)(PCy3)2] 2, 3 which react with HCl or [HPCy3]Cl to give the corresponding Grubbs-type ruthenium carbenes [RuCl2(=CHCH2R)(PCy3)2] 4, 5. The reaction of 2 (R=H) with DCl, or D2O in the presence of chloride sources, led to the formation of [RuCl2(=CHCH2D)(PCy3)2] 4-d1. Based on these observations, a one-pot synthesis of compounds 4 and 5 was developed using RuCl3.3H2O as the starting material. The hydrido(vinylidene) derivative 2 reacted with CF3CO2H and HCN at low temperatures to yield the carbene complexes [RuCl(X)(=CHCH3)(PCy3)2] 6, 7, of which 7 (X=CN) was characterized crystallographically. Salt metathesis of 2 with CF3CO2K and KI led to the formation of [RuH(X)(=C=CH2)(PCy3)2] 8, 9. The bis(trifluoracetato) and the diiodo compounds [RuX2(=CHCH3)(PCy3)2] 10, 11 as well as the new phosphine P(thp)3 12 (thp=4-tetrahydropyranyl) and the corresponding complex [RuCl2(=CHCH3){P(thp)3}2] 14 were also prepared. The catalytic activity of the ruthenium carbenes 4-7, 10, 11 and 14 in the olefin cross-metathesis of cyclopentene and allyl alcohol was investigated.

ABSTRACT: While the (hydroxymethyl)carbene complex [RuCl2(CHCH2OH)(PCy3)2] (2), prepared by metathesis from [RuCl2(CHPh)(PCy3)2] (1) and allyl alcohol, reacts in solution to give the carbonyl derivative [RuCl2(CO)(PCy3)2] (3), in the absence of solvent the methoxycarbene isomer [RuCl2(CHOCH3)(PCy3)2] (4) is formed. The catalytic reaction of 1 with allyl alcohol affords, besides small amounts of ethene and acrolein, predominantly propionaldehyde; with 3-buten-2-ol and catalytic amounts of 1, 3-butanone is obtained exclusively.
Article: Preparation of Trifluorophosphaneruthenium(II) Complexes from η3:η3-Cyclooctadienediylruthenium(IV) Compounds as Precursors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The dinuclear cyclooctadienediylruthenium(IV) compound [{RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)}2] (1) reacts with PCy3 in 2-propanol under an H2 atmosphere to give the hydrido(dihydrogen) complex [RuHCl(H2)(PCy3)2] (2) in nearly quantitative yield. Treatment of 1 with PCy3, PiPr3 or PiPr2Ph under argon affords the mononuclear products [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR3)] (3−5) by chloride-bridge cleavage. The corresponding compound 6 with PF3 as phosphane ligand reacts with PCy3 by nucleophilic attack of PCy3 at the carbon atom C3 of the dienediyl chain to give the zwitterionic η2:η3-alkene(allyl)ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2{η2:η3-CH2=C(Me)−CH(PCy3)(CH2)2CHC(Me)CH2}(PF3)] (7) the crystal and molecular structures of which have been determined. The reaction of 7 with excess PCy3 in the presence of H2 affords the five-coordinate hydrido compound [RuHCl(PF3)(PCy3)2] (8), which upon treatment with acetylene gives the vinyl derivative [RuCl(CH=CH2)(PF3)(PCy3)2] (9). The related cationic carbene complex [RuCl(=CHCH3)(PF3)(PCy3)2]BF4 (10) is obtained by protonation of 9 with HBF4 in ether. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002)
Article: A tertiary phosphine that is too bulky: preparation of catalytically less active carbene and vinylidene ruthenium(II) complexes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tricyclooctylphosphine PCoc3 (1), which has been prepared from PCl3 and cyclooctyl Grignard reagent, reacts under an atmosphere of H2 with the dimer [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)]2 (2) to give the hydrido(dihydrogen) complex [RuHCl(H2)(PCoc3)2] (4); in contrast, treatment of 2 with PPh3 under the same conditions affords [RuHCl(PPh3)3] (3). The reaction of 4 with acetylene in the presence of MgCl2 and water leads to the formation of the ruthenium carbene [RuCl2(CHCH3)(PCoc3)2] (5) in 70% isolated yield. In the absence of MgCl2 and water, 4 reacts with acetylene at low temperature to give the hydrido(vinylidene) complex [RuHCl(CCH2)(PCoc3)2] (6) almost quantitatively. Compounds 5, 6 and [RuH(κ2-O2CCF3)(CCH2)(PCoc3)2] (7), the latter being obtained from 6 and CF3CO2K by ligand exchange, are poor catalysts for ROMP and cross olefin metathesis.
Article: Hydrido(carbene), Hydrido(diazoalkane), Aqua(carbene), and Vinyl(carbene) Complexes of Osmium(II)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The five-coordinate compound [OsHCl(CO)(PiPr3)2] (1) reacts with CH2N2 and other diazoalkanes RCHN2 (R = Ph, CO2Et, SiMe3) in ether or toluene at 25 °C to give instead of the expected insertion products [Os(CH2R)Cl(CO)(PiPr3)2] the isomeric hydrido(carbene)osmium(II) complexes [OsHCl(=CHR)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (2–5) in excellent yields. With Me3SiCHN2 as the substrate, the 1:1 adduct [OsHCl(N2CHSiMe3)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (6) was detected at low temperature as an intermediate. The reactions of 1 with Ph2CN2 and Cl4C5N2 afford the hydrido(diazoalkane)compounds [OsHCl(N2CR2)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (7, 8), which are quite stable and do not eliminate N2 to give the corresponding hydrido(carbene)metal derivatives. Treatment of 3 (R = Ph) with either HCl or HBF4/H2O leads to the cleavage of the Os-H bond and results in the formation of [OsCl2(=CHPh)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (10) and [OsCl(=CHPh)(OH2)(CO)(PiPr3)2]BF4 (11), respectively. The vinyl compound [OsCl(CH=CHPh)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (12) behaves similarly to 1 and affords the carbene complex [OsCl(CH=CHPh)(=CHPh)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (13) upon treatment with PhCHN2. Compound 13 rearranges in solution at room temperature to give the π-allyl complex [Os(η3-PhCHCHCHPh)Cl(CO)(PiPr3)2] (14) as the dominating species. The crystal and molecular structures of 4, 5, 10, and 11 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.

ABSTRACT: The five-coordinate compound [RuHCl(CO)(PiPr2Ph)2] (1), which was prepared from RuCl3· 3 H2O and PiPr2Ph in methanol in the presence of NEt3, reacts with CO and with diazoalkanes RCHN2 (R = Ph, H) to give the six-coordinate complexes [RuHCl(CO)2(PiPr2Ph)2] (4) and [RuHCl(CO)(=CHR)(PiPr2Ph)2] (5, 6), respectively. If the reaction of 1 with CH2N2, which at –78 °C affords 6, is carried out at room temperature, the ionic compound [MePiPr2Ph][RuHCl2(CO)(PiPr2Ph)2] (7) is formed. The corresponding PPN salt was obtained from 1 and [PPN]Cl. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of 7 revealed, that the anionic species [RuHCl2(CO)(PiPr2Ph)2]− contains the chloro ligands in cis and the phosphanes in trans disposition. The Ru=CH2 bond of compound 6 is quite labile and, therefore, the CH2 unit is easily displaced by CO or pyridine. From 1 and pyridine, an isomeric mixture of [RuHCl(CO)(py)(PiPr2Ph)2] (9a, b) is formed. Treatment of 1 with HC≡CR (R = H, Ph) yields the five-coordinate vinylruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(CH=CHR)Cl(CO)(PiPr2Ph)2] (12, 13) by insertion of the alkyne into the Ru–H bond. The preparation of [RuHX(CO)-(PiPr2Ph)2] (X = CF3CO2, I) is also reported.
Article: Carbynehydridoruthenium Complexes as Catalysts for the Selective, Ring-Opening Metathesis of Cyclopentene with Methyl Acrylate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The first members of a homologous series of long-chain, multiply unsaturated esters were obtained upon selective ring-opening metathesis of cyclopentene with methyl acrylate [Eq. (a)]. The catalysts are cationic carbynehydridoruthenium complexes (e.g. L=OEt2), which were prepared for the first time by protonation of hydridovinylideneruthenium compounds in the presence of L.

ABSTRACT: Die ersten Glieder einer homologen Reihe langkettiger, mehrfach ungesättigter Ester werden bei der selektiven Ring-Öffnungs-Metathese von Cyclopenten mit Acrylsäuremethylester erhalten [Gl. (a)]. Als Katalysatoren dienen kationische Carbinhydridorutheniumkomplexe (z. B. L=OEt2), deren erstmalige Synthese durch Protonierung von Hydridovinylidenverbindungen in Gegenwart von L gelang.
Article: Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Six-Coordinate Dichlorodihydridoruthenium(IV) and Five-Coordinate Vinylideneruthenium(II) Complexes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The dichlorodihydridoruthenium(IV) compound [RuH2Cl2(PiPr3)2] (4) was prepared from [RuCl2(C8H12)]n (3), PiPr3, and H2 in 2-butanol via the chlorohydridoruthenium(II) derivative [RuHCl(H2)(PiPr3)2] (5) as an intermediate. The synthesis of 5 was achieved under similar conditions from 3, PiPr3, H2, and 2-butanol in the presence of NEt3. Compound 4, which was characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis, reacts with excess phenylacetylene to give the phenylvinylidene complex [RuCl2(=C=CHPh)(PiPr3)2] (7) and with propargylic alcohols or derivatives thereof to afford the vinylcarbene complexes [RuCl2(=CHCH=CR2)(PiPr3)2] (9, 10), respectively. From 5 and terminal alkynes RC≡CH the chlorohydridovinylidene compounds [RuHCl(=C=CHR)(PiPr3)2] (11, 12) were obtained. The phenylvinylidene complex [RuCl2(=C=CHPh)(PCy3)2] (15) was prepared from phenylacetylene and either [RuH2Cl2(PCy3)2] (14) or one of the carbene deriva-tives [RuCl2(=CHR)(PCy3)2] (16, 17) as starting materials. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of 15 confirms a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the vinylidene ligand in the apical position. The interconversion of 4 to 5 and of the tricyclohexylphosphane counterparts 14 to 13 was achieved by hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol in the presence of PR3. The reverse reaction occurs upon treatment of 5 or 13 with the corresponding phosphonium salt [HPR3]Cl or HCl, respectively.

ABSTRACT: An active role is played by MgCl2 during the conversion of the vinylidene precursor 2 into carbenes 3 (R=H, Ph; L=P(C6H11)3). These complexes can be prepared in a convenient and very efficient one-pot synthesis and have a catalytic activity in metathesis comparable to that of Grubbs compound (Ph instead of CH2R).

ABSTRACT: Eine aktive Rolle spielt MgCl2 bei der Umwandlung der Vinylidenvorstufe 2 in die Carbenkomplexe 3 (R = H, Ph; L = P(C6H11)3). Diese lassen sich durch die Reaktion von 1 mit 1-Alkinen in einer einfachen und sehr effizienten Eintopfsynthese herstellen und weisen bei der Olefinmetathese eine ähnliche Katalyseaktivität auf wie die von Grubbs entwickelte Verbindung (mit Ph statt CH2R).

ABSTRACT: The five-coordinate compound [OsHCl(CO)(PiPr3)2] (1) reacts with diazoalkanes RCHN2 (R = H, Ph, CO2Et, SiMe3) at room temperature to give instead of the expected insertion product [Os(CH2R)Cl(CO)(PiPr3)2] the isomeric osmium(II) hydrido−carbene complexes [OsHCl(CHR)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (2−5) containing the hydrido and the carbene ligands in trans disposition. Treatment of 3 (R = Ph) with HCl in toluene affords the dichloro complex [OsCl2(CHPh)(CO)(PiPr3)2] (6), the molecular structure of which has been determined.

SMP 2.5 Stopped
Sorry for the delay I haven't been on the net for a long time Real life demanded my attention and I had to take care of my family. I didn't have access to the net and lijenstina had my permission to continue SmP v2.5 beta untill I could return. When I did he was gone. I also lost my SmP v2.5 beta files when My Hard disk crashed and burned. Thankfully Nuor had his copy and I was able to get some of the files and I've put it up for those modders who would like to use the resources or try to salvage this beta mod.
Here is the details
I do apologizes for not being able to let you know sooner but access to the net and having to start over was difficult.
I can't continue SmP v2.5 because I don't even remember where to start. All my files are gone so to reverse engineer and figure out where to start isn't on my plans.

Hey, how come traders have no stock?
I have a feeling that this mod is dead.
Pretty sure if someone pm'ed wolfiehunter or Nuor about 2.5 release on the GSC forums maybe they will update the mod and release the 2.5 beta?
Just my suggestion.
What happened to wolfehunter ? you guys seemed to be really close on releasing the 2.5 version few years ago and suddenly nothing ? complete information blockade, hope everyone in the mod team is ok and got busy with their daily lifes
Is the work on this mod over?
Is there a way I can play this on patch .06? I have the steam version and don't know how to go back a patch...
You may use a version switcher
****** Update It!
Why do all that work, just to let it go???
Whenever I reach the ending part where the last portal would showing the ending cutscene (if you chose the good ending that is) it would instead lead to an area that can't be exited from for some odd reason and apparently you're supposed to kill this so-called "near-immortal Controller" and yes, I teleport to a controller, kill it and then i'm stuck in that area until an emission kills me, can someone help with exiting this area or is that the wrong Controller to kill since i'm just confused here... ^^;
It is unsaid how to finish even in the original game. You supposedly have to go through every single white teleport in that area. A complete waste of time if you ask me. Just google the good true ending.

(CBS) Pat Sajak has admitted to HWI - hosting while intoxicated.
In an interview with ESPN2's Dan Le Batard, the longtime "Wheel of Fortune" host came clean when asked if he had ever hosted the show drunk.
"Yes," Sajak laughed. "When I first started and was much younger and could tolerate those things. We had a different show then."
He explained that in the show's earlier format, there was "endless time" between tapings. During the two-and-half-hour dinner breaks, he and Vanna White would stop by a Mexican spot in Burbank, Calif., for margaritas.
"Vanna and I would go across and have two or three and six and then come and do and the last shows and have trouble recognizing the alphabet," he told Le Batard.
Sajak said he no longer drinks on the job, but added that those old episodes would be "really good tapes to get hold of."
"I had a great time," he said." I have no idea if the shows were any good, but no one said anything, so I guess I did okay."

T-Mobile scored a big win by partnering with Google and handset manufacturer HTC to become the first provider to offer a smartphone powered by Android, Google's open-source OS. The pre-release buzz was so strong that initial estimates indicate as many as 1.5 million HTC G1 phones were gobbled up through preorders alone. It would seem illogical to scoff at those kind of numbers, but that's what Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO, has done.
According to a report on Reuters, the cynical CEO told the National Press Club in Washington that the current iteration of Android isn't "good enough to put the Sprint brand name on it." Is he hating on Google or pouting over being passed over? Likely not. Initial reviews of the recently released G1 show Android as having promise, but as Engadget points out , Android "has a lot of ground to cover before it's really making the competition sweat," namely platforms like the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices.
But don't fret of you're a Sprint subscriber. Despite Hesse's unenthusiastic comments, he has promised to sell an Android-powered phone "at some time in the future." Of course, at some point in the future, other manufacturers besides AT&T will also carry Apple's iPhone, so perhaps this is a case where time is of the essence.

audio to midi for metering – how to translate the audio signal?
i just came up with the idea to use the volume of the track to create a midi driven meter. for the last couple of hours i tried to translate a audio signal into a midi signal without any usefull success.
at the end i would like to have a midi signal with a range between 0 and 127 like the CC events. this should give me the possibility to connect to a meter or a slider to have a visualisation.
it would be great if somebody could show me how to translate the signals.

I spotted a bug in your scale device; it uses "min input, max input" optionally followed by "min output, max output" but you have those two values reversed. So 127 0 instead of 0 127.
But I also don't quite get the problem. If you have a value range of -1. to 1. (floats) you could easily use a live.meter and then configure its display range. That should do the trick afaik.
Nice thought. Does that fix the design? Not for sure you've the audio range you're wanting, you could want a control to adjust that inside MAX. Then, the output of your SCALE could then connect to a MIDIFORMAT object; the .maxhelp for that shows how to create the controller messages and send them to MIDI very clearly.
the value range between -1. to 1. would be also ok, but i cant get a proper displayed metering. i can send you a patch where i tried this but it does´nt works. thats the reason why i´m think that my mistake is the translation of the audio signal from the plugin object into something (i´m not shure if its an amplitude?) between -1. to 1. or a CC event rang from 0 to 127.
i changed the values but it doesn´t fix the problem. if i change the values the meter show full peak all the time, even if no music is playing.
@ ernest
sorry but i didn´t get your comment. sorry i´m not really experienced in m4l so please be gentle with me. :D what do you mean with this : "Not for sure you've the audio range you're wanting, you could want a control to adjust that inside MAX. " ? and what do you mean with .maxhelp ? is this the help if i do a right click on the object or do you mean the help pages and tutorials from the menu? anyway i will have a look for both. :)
Yes of course. It's difficult to know from over here, and knowing alot of differnt things could be happening in Ableton too, what is a problem in the Ableton environment, and what is a problem in the MAX environment. What I'd suggest is adding a simple test tone source inside MAX, with a toggle to select it instead of the Ableton source, for example, a phasor~ at frequency 440Hz and ampolitude 0.5, going into a gate~ with a toggle control to select it or Ableton audio as an input. That helps find the problem. Then, when it displays what you want inside MAX, you do get to the point of adding a MIDI controller output as well as metering.
Right, 2nd synth evening this week (due to the heat I'm shortening my sessions ;-)) and I just tested your patch above. I don't quite understand the problem anymore because everything works as it should.
If you fix the scale object and then check your message boxes you'll see that its working as it should; it generates a value between 0 and 127.
Your problem with the meters is simply that you fed it a range from 0 to 127 while the meters react to a range of 0. – 1. So obviously putting 127 into it is getting them over the top so to speak. You can easily test this yourself. Disconnect the left live.meter, add a message box and connect it. Put 0.5 into the message box and click it; you'll see the meter react. Now put 50 into that message box, click it and you'll see the meter go into the red.
Then, when you get to adding the MIDI cdontroller output, you'll probably want a way to set up the external thing you're controlling with MIDI without changing the audio track source, For that, adding say, a slider to control the phasor~ output gain helps you see the results.
Currently you're converting 'db to a' and then adjusting the range linearly. You could also adjust the level response non-linearly, for example, by scaling the input before the dbtoa module, instead of after it. Sometimes dB level is a better control source, and sometimes gain is a better control sourcd.
Also, you could find the MIDI controller values change too quickly or too slowly, but that's something to fix *after* you have at least some MIDI controller output :)
Err….Was that too much all at once?
no no :)… but i found a way to fix the design of my patch. should be workin like a charm in a bit. i will come back later and show you the results. my way seems to be another way than yours ernest but it looks like it heads in the right direction.
anyway, thx for your last comment cause it give me some new input that i could add to my design.
sooo, like i wrote last night i found a really nice workaround for my patch design. i think the main problem was that i never thought that it could be so easy. :) if i use the send/receive object to transmit the data there is no significant latency because of its more like an event signal not an audio signal. of course thats my assumption. ;)
there is one thing i have to say, at the end a friend of mine help me last night with the design cause i couldn´t find a way do get it done. after a couple of other designs we discovered that its just to easy like that. so its not only my credit. ;)
here is the design:

@ ShelLuser
sorry, but i dont think that my first design worked like what i expected. even if i scale the metering to another range there is still something wrong. another thing is that i told you before, the shown signal volume in the meter raise if the actual audio signal turn lower. i changed the values like you told me in your first comment but this changed nothing. after a some test on the design i found another way but it is a way more sophisticated like the final design. if you are interested you can have a look on this patch.

sorry for all who are looking for a real audio to midi solution but it was just my first thought for a workaround. this patch design is just to send and receive a peak value without/with the smallest amount of latency to drive a meter as exact as possible. in a couple of days when its finished you can find the whole metering patch ver. 1.0 and a description on http://maxforlive.com/ . i just want to work a little bit on the gui to let it look nice and clear and of course i add the direct link to this topic when its done. may someone is interested in this whole thing, specially when you use ableton for DJing.

Archive for the 'Mozilla Spaces' Category
On March 14th MVers said goodbye to Castro street and, just days later, on March 17th said hello to their new digs on Evelyn Ave! Many teams worked tirelessly to make a smooth transition to the beautiful new space.
The space was designed to meet the needs of the MV Mozillians. On March 13th, 2013 we launched our MV2014 kickoff meeting. Input and feedback was gathered into a comprehensive survey by MK Think Architects. The 50-page survey results led to key findings of what has worked in other MozSpaces and what needs still weren't being met. What we discovered was a need for quiet workstations, collaboration areas, a micro gym, larger bike room, multiple break areas and outdoor seating. MTV2 has it all. Enjoy the photo gallery!
If you're interested in information about the office, ways to travel to and fro, check out this link on the mana: https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/WPR/Mountain+View+2014+office+guideNo comments
Berlin Move!
MozBerlin opened the doors to their new temp office on 2 May 2014!
Matea Lisica, Shannon Clayton and Lori Jashinsky along with Arzhel Younsi and Ed Lim (our IT brothers) were on the ground to ensure the move went smoothly and all systems were in place. Their hard work shows! The office was operational in just 3 days. The new office is larger with more conference rooms, a small event space and will have 24 desks when all the furniture arrives. More soft seating and other goodies will be arriving over the next few weeks. You can see how bright and sunny it is. We also have a new Office Services Coordinator in Berlin: Martyna Sobczak.
The new Berlin office address is:
End of the Year Holiday Cantinas & International Privacy Day
Mozillians all over the globe celebrated the holidays with an end of the year Cantina. These gatherings gave Mozillians a chance to toast the many accomplishments of 2013 and look forward to the future of Mozilla. Each office had a wide array of food, drinks and activities making for a wonderful party.

2013 Year in Review: MozSpaces and WPR
2013 Year in Review
2013 was another "monumental" year for WPR, the MozSpaces extended team, and Mozillians around the world. Â We continued to execute on our overall MozSpace Strategy (established in early 2011) with grand openings of 3 new MozSpaces (Paris, SF 1&2 and Portland). We locked and loaded a huge collaborative planning and construction effort on our largest project to date (New Mountain View – 331 Evelyn).
Through it all, we executed pretty flawlessly on our plans and our budget (hitting our construction target dates and move-in dates for these 3 spaces). Most importantly, we produced minimal disruption for the nearly 300 Mozillians who received a new space in 2013!  However, not everything was perfect per our master plans. We encountered an extremely long delay in our planned Berlin location (The Factory) due to construction hold-ups by the Berlin developer (landlord) which forced Mozilla to wait for its completion.  Once this building is complete in 2014, we are still planning on executing our MozBerlin interior construction plans.  All in all, 2013 was one of our most exciting and best years yet in the WPR and MozSpace world.
On April 2nd, MozParis opened in the beautiful 9th Arrondissement. This historic building (built in 1778) mixes the striking architecture of the 18th century with modern day luxuries. It is said that Marie Antoinette herself once inhabited this beautiful building. The space combines work stations for up to 50 people and a large community hall that can host up to 150 for events, meet-ups and work weeks.
After months of competitive bidding, behind-the-scenes planning and unlimited hours of construction, MozSF expanded onto the 1st and 2nd floors formerly known as the Gordon-Biersch restaurant. On June 10th the floors officially opened to accommodate our planned Mozillian growth and team requirements.  We could almost hear the huge collective sigh of relief from the packed 7th and 3rd floors! In addition we now have many more new conference rooms with Vidyo capabilities and new Event, SF Commons, and Mozilla Community (public) spaces. We'll continue our tradition of "open planning" for the "Mozilla Community Space" as we begin to focus on an intended use for this "old Starbucks area" so we can fulfill our commitments to Mozillians, SF and our global MozSpace vision and strategy.
 We removed the old Gordon Biersch sign……
….and constructed our new Mozilla monument to celebrate our amazing history and the efforts of all Mozillians past, present, and future! Sneak peek (Our official celebration of this monument is being scheduled for February 4, 2014)
Our intense 2013 build-out efforts continued into the summer of 2013 as we proudly opened MozPortland in the Pearl District on July 22nd. This MozSpace, which can house ~45 Mozillians is in the restored Brewery Block building and has a vibrant and diversely talented group of Mozillians working there and having fun in the space. The office is located blocks away from Powell's, breweries (it is Portland after all) and the iconic food trucks.
We will literally touch history in Berlin. The Factory, where part of the Berlin wall once stood, will be a new tech hub. Some of the soon-to-be neighbors will be: SoundCloud, 6Wunderkinder, Four Sektor, Toast, Urge iO, Views, and Silicon Allee. Aligning with the Mozilla mission and history, the building will have an 'open source' look and feel with a restaurant, basketball courts, and shared spaces (all to be built by the landlord). The building design was conceived to foster relationships within the Berlin technical community. Construction is planned to begin in Q1 2014 with an expected grand opening in Q4 2014. Stay tuned for updates. We are excited about our final "MozSpace" of MozBerlin.
Looking ahead to 2014 … Finishing our Original 2011 MozSpaces Strategic Plan:
In 2014, we'll be putting the finishing touches on our 3-year journey and completing our original 2011 MozSpace Strategic Plan to provide a global footprint of highly effective and productive collaboration and community areas for our global and highly distributed Mozillians.  What began as only 1 real "Mozilla Space" in 2011 will have blossomed to nearly a dozen "Moz Spaces" of various sizes, each with their distinct localized culture, and anchored by familiar Mozilla "basics" of workspace, collaboration space, communication technologies, and overall logistics (food, drinks, events, shipping).
The grand openings of our new Mountain View space for ~300 Mozillians (our 4th generation of a Mountain View MozSpace) and our Berlin MozSpace will be highlights in 2014. We will continue our active communication and collaborative planning to be fully transparent so we create the spaces together as Mozillians.
Just as our online surveys, focus groups, Wiki info, and Brown Bag presentations contributed to the future of MV2014 and our prior 2012 and 2013 spaces, we will turn our collective and collaborative focus on how to make the spaces we've built HUM in order to maximize our potential and our opportunities.
Here's a link to the Mana page where you can see LIVE footage of construction and check in for all the latest updates. Watch as the place beings to really take true MozSpace shape… https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/INTRANET/MV2014%3A+331+E+Evelyn+Ave+-+New+Office+Space

It is always so exciting to see our MozSpaces buzzing with with contributors and hackers! Active areas that support our huge open source community world wide are a key part of Mozilla's modus operandi. WPR works with event sponsors to make sure that we remain welcoming to the community, as well as for Mozillians all over the world.
Here are the re-sponsor-bilities of an event sponsor:
– Make an event request in ServiceNow. This ensures your event does not conflict with any other events in the space. It also helps WPR coordinate with caterers, janitorial, building staff, etc.
– Schedule your room on Zimbra.
– Stay with your event! You are the line of communication between WPR and our visitors. Please do not leave before the event is over.
– Return the space to a clean and welcoming state after your event.

Mountain View's Fancy New Digs
Mozilla's new space in Mountain View at 331 E Evelyn Avenue is developing at an exciting rate! 110 days of demolition, reconstruction and reorganization started on August 12. We are aiming for a February 2014 move-in date.
The new space is being designed around employee feedback, with an emphasis on workspace useability. Acoustic privacy around individual work spaces, as well as more conference rooms with Vidyo will make the MV2014 a haven for individual as well as collaborative projects.
Further updates are posted at the MV2014 Evelyn Avenue mana page
- Thanks to our general contractor and our fantastic IT team you can now view the on-site construction as it happens on live webcams:
- Updated plans (1st & 2nd floors + outdoor site plan) have also been posted to the mana page.

So beautiful.
Wonderful colored pencil drawing. I love the rich and vivid colors and the texture of the fur and highlights on the cloth. Fantastic attention to detail and an outstanding job! Thanks for sharing.
Very good job, the color is beautiful! +++
i wish i could do something so beautiful u sure have a cute cat and a big talent!!!
oh my gorsh dude this is awesome!!!
This is so amazing!!! Just wondering, where do you get your colored pencils? And how much are they?
Thank you so much! I got the Prismacolor Colored Pencils in the 72 set. I got it at this place called the "Art Supply Warehouse". Luckily Prisma is a very well known brand so you can get it at any art supply store The place I got it at was a discounted price of $80, but roughly for the 72 set it would be $113. With Prisma pencils they are about $1+ for each pencil so just kinda think of the price in that realm I hope this helps
Aww! So cute!
Great colored pencil work!!
This looks great! She's a very pretty cat.
Excellent work! You are awesome Summer!
Aww thank you so much Jon!
How are you? I was thinking of you because I did not hear from you for a while..
Really stressful things at my home right now I was almost in danger of becoming homeless.. but now things are getting better how have you been?
this is truly beautiful!!! it's a cute baby you've got here!!
Aww you completely touched my heart! Thank you and she sure is! She loves to talk and sometimes her meow is cuter than her pretty face
Great colorscheme!
Why thank you! I'm really pleased with how the bag came out even though it was more whitish/grey and I did it in purple instead, colorful is always more fun to create
Wow, I love your choice of colous - really lovely drawing
Aww I really appreciate the feedback Della, my cat, has a pink belly and I noticed her fur almost had a bluish tint so I decided to play up those colors
Great drawing She's so adorable ^_^
Thank you so much!! Whenever I walk by her I just have to pet her because she's so fluffy and cute

I have the shorty ceramic coated set on a '97 Chevy C1500. The appearance and performance has been great. Bolted up to motor great. The only issue that I had was the collector connection with loose bolts was practically impossible to hookup on the passenger side. I have performance head pipes and cats but the they are not nearly large enough to mate up to the header. I still have small leaks. I'd like to see captured nuts and a flange that accepts donuts.

There's a sense of finesse to this Champagne, which offers a creamy texture and seamlessly integrated structure, with subtly layered flavors of ripe white peach, black raspberry fruit, lemon meringue pie, pickled ginger and blanched almond. Sleek and elegant.Drink Dates: 2013-2028

Bright yellow-gold. Deeply pitched, pungent aromas of candied lemon, pear skin, anise, buttered toast and smoky lees, with notes of ginger and white flowers adding lift. Densely packed yet vibrant, showing impressive power and clarity to its mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Expands on the finish but maintains its focus, picking up iodine and bitter lime notes that linger impressively. A more vibrant rendition of Salon than the 1997 version, but with a bit less concentration than the 1996. This should be a slow ager.Author: Josh Raynolds

Category: Politics (Page 2 of 21)
Whereas the authors of these videos paint the scenes as the ultimate utopia of sustainability and green living (minus Sprawl-ville which paints what will happen if we don't move to sustainability), the reality to me is one more of dystopia. Global centrally planned food, government, told where you can and can't go, certain amount of calories one can use in a day. These would be funny and ridiculous if there weren't actual plans in the works to convert major cities throughout the world into some along these lines. Those plans go under the United Nations name Agenda 21. These videos try to paint a nice face on that while creating fear if we don't. For me they're just chilling.
And last of all, if you don't know what Agenda 21 is, here is a quick run-down; otherwise, read it for yourself:
"I'm Bill Gross And I Endorse Ron Paul For President"
Well well well, looky there who supports Ron Paul fellers: Bill Gross, Mr. bond market himself, CNBC's mainstream goto man for all things related to the treasury market … I wonder if he's a conspiracy theorist too So let me get this straight: we have former CIA officers, one of which who worked for Reagan and briefed him daily on intelligence matters, a former DIA officer (Able Danger anyone? Look it up), former CIA chief over the BIN LADEN unit in Afghanistan (you heard me), scores of military personnel giving campaign contributions adding up to more than any other candidate combined, nationally renowned law scholar Jonathan Turley giving hints on C-SPAN and elsewhere (if not right out endorsement, haven't searched for one) … and scores of other high profile individuals who support Ron Paul.
What am I missing here when people call him "kooky" or "loony" or "old man conspiracy theorist?" Yes, I realize some of his ideas are not tenable or, if we're honest, even possible in terms of support. But as with theology debates, those are secondary issues, if you get my drift. The guy supports freedom more than anyone, something under assault in our day, he's a true conservative (not a neo-conservative, there is a difference), something none of the other candidates seem concerned about, and he's pro-life. Yes, he has a different way of going about addressing that, but his pro-life stance is clear.
I just don't get it. The fear-mongering over Iran is an exact mirror of the Iraq situation, in which we now have Colin Powell saying if we knew they didn't have WMD's we wouldn't have gone in. The intelligence was skewed, either intentionally (many people's contention, mirroring what we now know about the CIA in the 1970's and intelligence related to the USSR in terms of their capabilities) or by pure negligence. But I digress.
It's unfortunate the Romney's, Gingrich's and the Fox News's have essentially hijacked any chance this great man might have had. If Bill Gross endorses Paul, the writing is on the wall in terms of what he thinks of the US debt situation. We're in deep … well, debt. A debt-to-GDP ratio of over 100% must have pushed him over the edge.
The Judge nails it here. The fundamental problem in our political process now is that the establishment, or what many are calling the national security state (i.e. the real governing power structure of the US), merely seeks to keep us all at bay through pigeon-holing us, via the electoral process, into one side or the other; and yet at the same time, none of the policies substantively change. On many core issues, Obama merely expanded what Bush had already done, which was anti-conservative in many if not most respects. Question is, do you, Republican voter, actually believe it will change if Romney or Gingrich or even Santorum are elected? I don't anymore. Obama fooled his own base by making them think he was different from Bush on issues related to this national security state. Boy were they wrong. Power has shifted from consent of the governed to the governing authorities and they both use the art of persuasion, propaganda and public relations to make us feel as if there's some sort of major difference when they merely formulate their own policy behind closed doors without even considering the people's thought on various issues. For all the rhetoric of picking issues and staking out sides, not much changes from one President to the other. Only this time, Obama has radically expanded the policies. I believe Ron Paul represents the only choice who can shake up this establishment.
Before going into this, it should be noted Christ is the sovereign King who rules all governments by the power of His word, including ours. These things are not happening in a vaccuum apart from Him. With that noted, it is also important to note that Christ has given us means and tools at our disposal to influence and change government for the benefit of all. Benjamin Franklin had this to say when asked what kind of government was being formed. Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."
Our freedoms are being eroded right before our eyes as the nation is enthralled with the likes of the Kardashian's, obsessed with football, or we have just stuck our heads in the sand either willfully or through pure ignorance. This is no different than the Roman population being distracted with circuses, gladiatorial sport and bread before the empire succumbed to the Visigoths sacking Rome in the fifth century. This entire clip is worth watching for every American, left right, Democrat, Republican, whoever. One smart man.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. " – Ariel Durant
Many are weighing in and spinning what these protests are about. Liberal pundits slam only banks and couple Republicans to the problem, ad nauseum. Conservatives defend the banks against what they perceive as a monolithic group of liberal protestors while ignoring the banks' obvious and blatant fraud as well as their disregard for the law and yet at the same time (appropriately) slamming liberals like Michael Moore for absurdly wanting to get rid of capitalism.
While I agree with Herman Cain on a lot of issues, he proved to not understand what is happening either and frankly offered a very arrogant assessment of those without jobs or aren't rich that can't seem to help him win many points with voters, especially independents: "Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded, it is someone's fault if they failed." In other words, pull up your bootstraps you unemployed yobs!
Now I'm all for personal responsibility and taking ownership, but I also believe in the ability and likelihood of elites using power and prominence for evil. Our situation economically came from and was initiated by fraud, both in the private and public sectors, and is being perpetuated and protected by people in his position, at his level. I know a couple of people who have not been able to find jobs for over 52 weeks. It is mean and arrogant to slam them as if this is something they can prevent.
But regardless in the midst of all this back and forth and nonsensical discourse that misses the forest for the trees, the message is being lost as to what this is all about.
It really comes down to something I wrote in a couple of comments on Facebook related to the protests recently:
Kleptocracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy
From Wikipedia: "Kleptocracy is a term applied to a government subject to control fraud that takes advantage of governmental corruption to extend the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service. The term means "rule by thieves". Not an official form of government such as a democracy, republic, monarchy, or theocracy; a kleptocracy is rather a pejorative for a government perceived to have a particularly severe and systemic problem with the selfish misappropriation of public funds by those in power."
Max Keiser describes it quite well in his usual over-the-top rhetoric in this edition of the Keiser Report. Hilarious … and not, all at the same time.
Revealing statement: "There is no better motivator than unaffordability." … I actually had someone tell me this on Twitter in regard to reducing our need to use cars. So the thinking goes amongst environmentalists and command/control economic theory (Obama administration style): intentionally drive up the cost and drive down the standard of living through policy to get a result of reducing use of all modern technology, in the name of saving the planet. And this is precisely what the UN wants too in Agenda 21: "Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?" – Maurice Strong, Founder of the UN Environment Programme @ Rio Earth Summit, 1992
What is so awful about Planned Parenthood? Well the fact that they kill children in the womb. "But it's just 3%," some say. Well, it's 3% too many. But behind these necessary questions is the equally important question: why and how did Planned Parenthood come into existence? What is the history of the organization? Maafa 21 has the answer. It's unbelievable. The reason it came into existence is just as abhorrent and saddening as the statistics of children murdered in the womb, merely by this organization. This should be watched by every person in America. (WARNING: there are some very tough things to hear, "mature" subject matter and offensive quotes in this documentary from founders and supporters of Planned Parenthood and others who supported the Eugenics movement.)
