Just cloned this source (14.08) on a Raspberry Pi B, compiled and have it running as an Echolink node hooked up to a repeater. Works great so far with about a week of uptime.
I use Qtel and it's definetly a great software, solid five stars. Haven't used svxlink, so can't rate that. Thanks!
Thanks for software and updates.
Hello, I'm looking for Patrick F1SMF who created this. I created a tar 'sounds-fr_FR-heather-11.o5' with a script to choose 8K or 16K, or I should meter for it to be available to all on the site please 73 F1SMF Patrick, If you could guide me to where I could find this. Merci. François VE2DTK Québec
I wanted an Echolink for linux. Dowloaded version 090426. Could not compile it. Found patch on Internet. That failed also. Downloaded current version 11.11.1. That could not be compiled as well. Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Finally found a site on the web with better instructions. Many libraries had been left out of the original documentation. Finally got it compiled after three days of research and work. Even got it installed. But I cannot find the executable file so I cannot get it to run. Have spent the last two days trying to find it. The startup command, from the docs, is ./qtel &. My system says command does not exist. No help in docs. No where does it tell you how to start the program. Reached out for help to the author. No response after four days. Tried forums. Therte aren't any. Tried Old Nabble. Still cannot post there, registration difficult. No help available from Sourceforge. Oh by the way you can only see positive reviews on Sourceforge. Good luck installing this poorly documented package. It's not worth the effort to get it running. I'm giving up. If somebody wants to help I can be reached at email@example.com

New York, NY - The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for this year's No. 13 overall draft pick and another selection next year.
The Buccaneers announced the deal on the team's Twitter page Sunday, saying Revis agreed to a new six-year deal. The Jets will also receive a conditional draft pick, either a third- or fourth-rounder next year.
Revis arrived in Tampa on Sunday to take a physical with the Buccaneers, who wanted to check out his surgically repaired left knee before agreeing to the deal with the Jets.
Trade rumors have been swirling for months involving Revis, with the Buccaneers thought all along to be the most serious suitor.

Morgan Stanley Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (MS)
TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income and growth in earnings per share. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins and weak operating cash flow.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Compared to its price level of one year ago, MS is up 22.58% to its most recent closing price of 22.80. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals should not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Capital Markets industry. The net income increased by 338.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$249.00 million to $594.00 million.
- MORGAN STANLEY reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MORGAN STANLEY reported lower earnings of $0.00 versus $1.16 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an increase in earnings to $2.10 from $0.00.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market, MORGAN STANLEY's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for MORGAN STANLEY is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 29.50%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 7.23% significantly trails the industry average.

First off I just want to clarify: I am not trolling here or being sarcastic or a douch in any way. Decisions were made and the errata buffed a lot of cards. There has been a lot of negative feedback to these changes, that the balance team remains mute about. I'm wondering if it is possible to get some conversation going where the people in charge publicly address concerns people have, and describe what the decision making process was like, or what the reasoning behind the buffs was. This is very common in other games such as LoL where the employees are very vocal and interactive about game improvements.
What do you guys think?

Two North Carolina congressmen are calling on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate and prosecute any violations of a law designed to protect members of the military from losing their homes while serving the country.
U.S. Reps. Brad Miller and Walter Jones sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder asking for a probe into possible violations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Miller, a Democrat, and Jones, a Republican, say thousands of reviews by a federal agency suggest some banks and mortgage companies may simply be ignoring the law and foreclosing on homes while members of the military are fighting overseas.
In September, the Justice Department asked Congress to stiffen the penalties for lenders who violate laws protecting active duty military personnel from foreclosure.

P.J.'s Economics 101
Recorded: Thursday, October 29, 1998
With his numerous books, articles and essays about politics, war and social disorder under his belt, it was only a matter of time until P.J. O'Rourke found his way to the subject of his new book, "Eat the Rich." In "Parliament of Whores," he lampooned the entire U.S. government. "All the Troubles in the World" attacked the pandemic worries of the politically correct; and this time it's the economy, stupid! What is wealth and how do we get it? Or as he asks, "Why do some places prosper and thrive while others just stink?"
As most people (along with many "experts") try to fathom the volatility of financial markets and the complexities of global economies, the man who Time magazine has called "one of America's most hilarious and provocative writers" brings it all into perspective. Who else but P.J. could provide this primer on Wall Street: "In order to understand the stock market we have to realize that, like anything enormous and inert, it's fundamentally stable, and like anything emotion-driven, it's volatile as hell."
But he doesn't stop there. Embarking from Wall Street, P.J. takes us on a hilarious and enlightening worldwide tour of the foibles of governments from Russia to Tanzania, from Albania to Shanghai, and from Hong Kong to Havana, and revisits college economics courses, counteracting them with his own version of Econ 101.
The result is the world's only astute, comprehensive and comic presentation of the basic principles of economics that will truly make you laugh on purpose.

Zanzibar Football Association (ZFA) has slapped one year suspension to four referees for misconduct committed during recent league matches.
The decision to suspend the referee was reached during a meeting of the executive committee under chairmanship of ZFA vice-president Haji Ameir.
ZFA's information officer Munir Zachariah told press members here that the referees have been ordered not to be involved in practicing the profession throughout the year.
The axe had fallen to Ramadhani Ibada Kibo who has a FIFA badge.
Other referees who have tasted the ZFA wrath include Mgaza Kiduli, Mohammed Kassim and Ramtula Ali.
Zachariah said the suspensions have been imposed on the referees as a move to make sure that soccer rules are adhered to and save the game from a possible disrepute.
"We are not able to succeed in soccer if we have a brand of officials who are misbehaving and players who are not following the rules of the game," said Zachariah.
Referees are supposed to be in the frontline for supervising and upholding of soccer rules but to the contrary they have done otherwise to halt the objective, so says Zachariah.
"The ZFA spokesman said it's better to remain with few referees who are competent instead of having a huge number of untrustworthy officials in Zanzibar," another remark from the ZFA officer.
Of late there has been an increased wave of violence in Zanzibar soccer league matches as players and referees have been trading punches at a broad daylight.
Barely a fortnight now have a number of players from Kikwajuni, KMKM and Ngome been suspended as a result of fighting against each other during league matches.
The spokesman said ZFA is now following closely all football activities in Zanzibar to ensure rules and regulations are adhered to.

Gerry Harvey poses with a touch-screen desktop Windows 8 computer at the launch in October.
Windows 8 sales in Australia and overseas are below expectations, with one US expert describing its user interface as "a monster that terrorises poor office workers and strangles their productivity".
In Australia, IDC market analyst Amy Cheah, who has spoken to local retailers, vendors and channel partners as part of her work compiling sales numbers, said Windows 8 take-up was "not as strong as Microsoft would like it to be".
"Actual sales to date is not matching the hype, but the momentum is picking up in November," she said.
The "live tile" interface on Windows 8 has been labelled a poor choice for desktop computers.
Backing up this qualitative information is data from internet monitoring company Net Applications, which found that Windows 8 was used by just over 1 per cent of visitors to the sites it monitors, compared to 46 per cent for Windows 7 and 39 per cent for Windows XP.
IDC has yet to release its latest quarterly numbers for Australia and New Zealand, but Cheah said it was already clear that Windows 8 was "a steep learning curve and the initial phase is going to be a bumpy one".
Ben McIntosh, general manager of computers at Harvey Norman, said interest in Windows 8 in his stores was "very encouraging" but stock was "coming through a lot slower than I would like to see". He said he always expected a slow start for Windows 8 and some customers were shying away from Windows 8 in favour of Windows 7.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer holds a Windows 8 Samsung laptop at an event earlier this month.
"If people were expecting huge line-ups at stores and a saviour of the industry then they're going to be disappointed," McIntosh said.
The Guardian noted that the take-up of Windows 8 appeared to be much slower than sales of Windows 7 in a similar period after its launch.
Similarly, NPD Group, which tracks Windows 8 retail sales in the US, told The Wall Street Journal's AllThingsD blog that Windows 7 had "a much stronger launch". US online retailer NewEgg told Readwrite that Windows 8 sales were "slow going".
Illustration: Rocco Fazzari
Long-time Microsoft reporter Paul Thurrott reported that inside sources claimed Microsoft had not met its internal projections for Windows 8 sales. Thurrott said that Microsoft blamed PC-makers for delivering a confusing array of lacklustre designs.
A raft of PC vendors have released Windows 8 Ultrabook laptops, tablets and convertible or hybrid computers, but Cheah said there were "too many, in my opinion, for consumers to choose from".
While the "live tile" interface of Windows has been a solid innovation for mobile devices, making it the default starting-screen for desktop and laptop users has been confusing for those who liked their old icons, windows and start menu just the way they were.
Whereas previously Microsoft has been accused of shoehorning desktop operating systems on to mobile devices, Windows 8 is more a case of shoehorning a mobile operating system on to desktop machines.
Users can still get to the old-style desktop, but Jakob Nielsen, a usability consultant and former Sun Microsystems engineer, said having two environments on a single device was a prescription for usability problems.
"Windows 8 on mobile devices and tablets is akin to Dr Jekyll: a tortured soul hoping for redemption," wrote Nielsen in an online article. "On a regular PC, Windows 8 is Mr Hyde: a monster that terrorises poor office workers and strangles their productivity."
Nielsen invited 12 experienced PC users to test Windows 8 on both regular computers and tablets and found:
- "The main user interface restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed 'Microsoft Window' "
- Flat icons reduce discoverability
- Very low information density on Windows 8 apps
- Live tiles turned start screen into "incessantly blinking, unruly environment that feels like dozens of carnival barkers yelling at you simultaneously"
- Error-prone gestures
A Microsoft Australia spokesman said "we won't be discussing sales at this point" .

Tonight we honor one of the finest directors of the 20th Century, the late, great Stanley Kubrick. As President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences I want to give a warm Hollywood welcome to our keynote speaker, Father John Murphy. The Padre, who just flew in from the Vatican, knew Stanley for over 35 years, up until and including Stanley's untimely death in 1999. I'm sure he has a treasure trove of information to tell us. Without further ado, would you kindly welcome the Pope's right hand, the Keeper of the Keys, and the dizzy Dean of the College of Cardinals, Father John Murphy.

Well, Kubrick and the kid got it on at least twice a day, mostly in her trailer but sometimes on da set.
Hey, nobody leaves. Stop dose guys, O'Malley. I told youse I was gonna tells ya bout da real guy, da one who dressed hookers up in space suits, banging 'em in slow motion up against dat monolith. But Stanley was a brainiac, give him dat. He directed bout a dozen jawsdroppers dat ya jamokes seen at least twice. Except for Pauly Shore sittin' dere, IQ of a pineapple.
What the scholars say
First I'm gonna learns ya what da scholars at wicca paedia have ta say about Stanley. Just ta give Pauly Shore an introduction to a subject he knows nuttin about.
Da wiccans say dat Kubrick chose his subjects with scrupulouse care. They say dat he worked real slow - like some kind of snail - and dat he enjoyed making all kinds of films whenever da mood hit him. Science fiction, horror, period pieces, mysteries of da mind, antiwar rants, Stanley just made up whatever he wanted to. Nice gig. Then the wikipedes take a wild guess dat he was a technical perfectionism, and complain dat Kubrick was a recluse and seldom talked about his films until ya got him drunk. Da wise intellecstools seem to think dat Stanley always maintained complete and proper artistic control over his masterpieces. Sorta like if Pabble Picasso could afford a movie camera.
And then da esteemed professors go on to bitch dat Stan's films have a formal style and pay lots of attention ta detail. Dey think dat his later stuff is surrealistical and lacks structured linear narrative - whatever da hell dat means - and dat his movies are soooooo slow because he was diseased with some kind of anal obsessive perfectionism. Dey think Stan used recurring themes as a way to argue about man's inhumility to man. Got dat right. While dey are often described as opionated stories doused in ironic pessimism, da eggheads imagine dat Stanley's films contain a cautious optimism when viewed like dey like ta watch 'em.
Stanley's first good film and his last good film were his best films. "Lolita" and "Eyes Tight Shut". Hey, have ya guys ever seen "Lolita" with a couple of dese brownies in ya? Show of hands. Scorsese, ya, Coppala, of course, and over dere, Shyamalan. Ya, see, see dat? Dat's one hell of a movie. Once ya get past da first dull half hour or so den you sees James Mason come up on Lolita in a bikini and from then on, except for another dull half hour, Mason shows his acting range - the range of a bored middle-aged man living a boring life when alls'a sudden WHAM!!!!! he falls in total lust with a fifteen-year old boy or girl, depending on which director's cut you own, and da kid is game!
Den, right in da middle of dat shitstorm, youse get Peter Sellers thrown at ya like a circus clown playing several different characters at once, an all da other actors except for Shelly Winters who's crumpled up an dead by dat time carry each scene into da next in ways Kubrick shot like he was Da Vinci paintin' da inside of dat church. One of da best movies ever made, except for most of it, and 'specially if ya on dose brownies.
So Stan and I hung around on dat Lolita set, and on Lolita tell ya da God's truth - I seez ya laughin' O'Malley, been dere done dat - and we started palling around off-set too. Dat was 1962, jeez, time flies on dose gossamer wings, don't it. Ya, I see Woody Allen flinching. Hey Woody, whatsa matter, ya worried 'bout dyin? Look at him, rolled up in da fetal position. Boo!!! Heh heh heh, it's too easy.
So before ya could say "Do unto udders" Stan started callin' me his "lucky charm" and made me come to all his shoots. Later, when I got to be an uppity-up in da holy mudder church, him knowin' me and vica verso cames in handy when my boys policed da sets and handled union trouble with da locals.
Well, lets move up and down some of da years here.
The good times remembered
One time da church had me go to check out rumors dat Kubrick was makin a hippie movie. Dey didn't want none a dat. But when I got dere Stanley wasn't doin' a hippie movie at all, he was filming dis god-awful slow moving ting called 2001. Even scene on dat film seemed to take a year to shoot, with Kubrick digging deep into his noggin using spacetime to play in an all.
Anyway, one night Stanley was co-making-up da screenplay for 2001 with dat Arthur See Clarke brainiac. Stan made da mistake of hiring dis fellow Clarke, who thought he was da pope's shit, just a floating egghead filled with dese godawful space visions and communicational satellites and whatnot. Did you know dat da two of dem faked up da moon landings? Truth, sweat to god, I was dere, and when Neil Armstrong was supposed to be walkin' on da moon he had two hippie babes, Wildflower and Sunshine, off-stage getting ready to blow him.
Walkin' on da moon! Can ya believe it? Ya gonna break me up here. Never happened, sweat to God.
Well, Clarke and Stanley, deys all hunched up over a desk writin' down da scene where dat loony tunes talking computer whacks some guys. I happened to be walkin' by, minding my own selves and da churches business, when Stanley calls me over. "Fadda, how does a computer whack a guy?" he asked. "Jesus Christ, Stan," I say, "I dunno. Ya know question's like dat cut off da oxygen to my brain." And dats what dey did. Made me think dey should have given me a taste.
Dr. Strangeglove
So then dere came "Dr. Stangelove, or how blah blah blah da bomb". Dis was dat commie movie where da American government and military look like a bunch of fag horses on a crippled merry-go-round. Where was I goin with dat? Ah, da brownies must be startin ta kick in, ain't dey O'Malley. Time slowin down an shit. Like watching one of his movies.
Yeah, dat was fun, especially tryin' to get Peter Sellers to break character, which he wouldn't do for his own mudda. When he was pretending to be a gimp in a wheelchair I'd grab his legs and pull, and he'd fall all over da floor an it took him forever to crawl back up. And when he started in on acting like a president I'd cover him with fish entrails and call dem blessed. Drove Sellers crazy, tryin' to keep up with my hyginxks and watchen out da corner of his eye, seein if I was sneakin' up on him. Never broke character though, give him dat.
Da movie itself discusses man's inhumanity to man, as if dat ever stopped anyone. My contribution was da final scene, when Slim Pickens jumps outta da plane ridin' an atomic bomb like a bucking bronco. He wagged his cowboy hat around back and forth like he was on a bull or oxen, one of dose. Dat came bout when Stanley said to me "What the hell, Fadda, how am I gonna end dis fuckin thing?" and I gives him da scene right down to da swingin' hat. He loved it, dey filmed it, and dat's what most people remember about da film. Could have given me some of dat writer's credit, but ya think dey did? Tards.
Ya, ya, now I can see Woody Allen shakin' his head up and down and smilin'. Now ya like me, huh Wood man? Maybe I'll play dat clarinet or trumpet or whatever it is ya blow with ya sometime.
Da Shinin'
Ya, I missed Stanley's next pictures, spendin' most of my time learnin' da ropes at da Vatigan. Shystering dose Cardinals around felt like burning da midnight oil at ten a.m. During dat time Stan did a fag pic called "Barry Lyndon", 'bout nothin' in particular except dis guy dresses up and prances around. I dunno what it's about, and if I did I probably couldn't tell ya anyways without getting excommunicated. Ha! Ya like dat Eastwood? Bust a gut.
So da next time I showed up, Stanley was already filming "Da Shinin'" up in a vacant motel in Colorado. I bunked with Jack Nicholsen, guy snores kinda like he talks, all smiley sinister with dat kill-ya-quick-as-look-at-ya drawl. He got buggier as da picture went on.
Gonna tells ya somethin' an dis will scare ya, so hold on ta somethin'. Ya, Pitt, funny, holdin' onto Portman. Angie's in da john, isn't she wise ass? Anyways, we was all alone, see, in dis giant motel, da crew and da actors and dem. Suddenly, for no parent reason, da lights went out and noises like skirts rustlin' were heard. Scotsman Crouthers and I were playin' drinkin' games in dat ballroom where da ghosts live, an we both saw a bottle move. Maybe half an inch. It just edged over like it was travelin' on tiny spooky wheels, like it had a railroad track under it in dere. Scotsman jumped a foot, funniest thing I've ever seen except for Woody dere, again with da fetal position.
Dat was Da Shining.
Shut Da Eyes
Stanley went on to make tings like Full Metta Jacket and other anti-war hogwash. I refused ta help him with dose propaganda films, da Church's stand of "Send as many of dem to heaven as ya can" takin precedent over my friendship dere.
The last film I made with Stanley was da last film he made, "Eyes Wide Shut", a name dat doesn't mean anything starring dat couple who was always fighting about scientaloogy and such, dat midget and da tall lady. Anyways, Stanley made da movie for one purpose only, to score Leelee Sobieski. Man, he was inta dat little girl so much he'd launch his pants just thinkin' 'bout her. No, it's true! I hear da murmering out dere. And hey, Sobieski, don't even think of leaving. All Iz sayin' is dat all da myths wanten ya ta believe Stan loved da book, or dat he wanted ta tell a metaphoric story about how all long time married couples have inner dreams of divorce - divorce from both dere spouse and dere structured lives - and dat it took him years to film and edit because he wanted to get it down ta da perfection an all dat, dey waz all smoke-screens holdin a mirror. He just wanted to boff Sobieski.
And he did dat. Alot. Jeez, ya know dose masks in da film? They musta worn every one of dem with each other - hey, isn't dat right Leelee? Did I get da scorecard right? I dunno hear no denials dere. Anywaz, da film also reported like a damn newspaper about how da upper elites like ta go at it in front of each other with tall beautiful ladies. Hollywoods people too. Humpin like bunnies with mystic occulty ceremonies all thrown in for da brain stretching, an wearin dose bird masks ta put ya at ease an stir up da mystery gene. See, Kubrick just wanted to tell da truth, and knew dat by doing dat Leelee would look at him like a daddy and jump some rope. It was a hard movie ta make, because Kurbrick ordered da cast around like a concentration camp cook demanding "More livers!" An' dat midget and his tall lady picked around thru der emotions pretty well and fought like jackals sometimes. But yeah, Sobrieski provided all da tension, playing da sexually active 16-year old living in da costume shop who turns da midget on.
Lots of people liked dat movie. Problem is, Stanley died, right after finishing editing "Da Wide Eyes". Last I saw him we waz putting him in da ground. Lolita and Leelee were dere, all teary eyed and moanin' "boo hoo hoo", bless dere hearts. Artie Clarke came all da way from Shree Lankya to bid Stanley adieu. Some of us pissed on his grave, but dat was all in fun.
Da Troublemakers
Don't know why I'm tellin ya dis, must be da brownies talkin, but not many people other than da enforcers over at da U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops - oh, and O'Malley dere - know dat da next film Stanley was gonna make was a script I wrote inspired by da holy spirit. It was called Da Troublemakers and was bout dose blabbermouth choirboys and altar ornaments who led da priests onto da primrose path visa via dose seductions. I'd never seen Stanley more excited than when he and da polish papa took a meeting to finalize da deal. Stanley wanted to name it Roma's Pretty Boys but Papa JohnPaul II told him "No, no, no, weze decided on da name." Would have won all dose shiny statues of Little Oscar youse guys hand over to da best of dis and da best of dat, tells ya now so youse could tink about it. But when Stanley decided to die da project got shelved along with him.
OK, I'll take questions on the other side of dis bathroom break, gotta pee like Secretariat opening up 31 lengths.
Questions and answers
Alright, shoot. No, wait - wait O'Malley, holster it. Justa figure of speech. Okay, youse, da Munich hausfrau in the big dress.
Good evening Father, Meryl Streep here. Can you give us some insight as to why Stanley Kramer would arc each of his thirteen individual movies, as well as his entire body of work, along the clean lines of apes misusing the tools of power and biological attraction intertwined with the concept of power-hungry authority figures, of males looking for bottom-feeder true love, and of entire classes of people hiding what they are doing from each other in order to fulfill their inner-demons? As you implied, some of that is symbolized in "Eyes Wide Shut" by the great actress. Leelee Siobeski, who drives the film with her calculated arousal of Tom Cruise. Mr. Cruise, who in real life is gay as a rose bush, is bewildered at Siobeski's age, energy, and the metaphor that she lives within the costume shop and can thus put on any persona while seeing through the costumes of others. Cruise then leaves her to follow his compulsion to explore the mystery of the occult mansion and its deeper multi-layered significance. What was Mr. Kubricks' expressed thoughts on these arcs?
I didn't understand a word you said missy. Stanley don't need da likes of you tellin him which side da bread is buttered on. He buttered both sides of da bread, an all round da edges too. Ah, next, you, da guy in da red cape.
You don't recognize your old roommate, Murphy? Jack. Jack Nicholson. Jeez John, you've been eating too many communion wafers judging by the girth of that gut. Anyway, what's all this I hear about Kubrick's movies being too slow? When I ran around throwing my talent all over the place in The Shining it was anything but slow, except at the end when I froze to death, which only slowed me down for a minute or so.
Nicky, I didn't recognize you from da old obese corpse-like structure standing before me dere. Ya, Stanley filmed his movies like da people watching dem had nuttin else better to do with their timing. An are ya kidding me? 2001 is so slow it looks like it was made in space. And Da Shining dat ya so gaga about, it goes on and on about nuttin and then nobody ever understood it even when it's finally over - something about living in da past, but it lost me while dey was driving up da road to get dere. And take dose donuts outta ya pocket.
Alright, you, in the yellow jump suit.
Father Murphy, blessings to you. I'm Hank, from the construction crew working outside. I just happened to wander in here on my break. But listen, I didn't hear you talk about Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange," maybe his most disturbing but supremely psychologically engrossing film. Did you have anything to do with that picture? Thank you.
Dat one was just goofy. It was 'bout a gang of jollywompers dressed to da nines in orange who'd come up and stomp bums to death. Da whole time dey got accompanied by classical music. What Stanley did dere was try ta break da violence barrier with dat one, to peel back da brain of a psychopath and show da deranged animal inside. But it got England's youth in such a lather dat he pulled da picture dere and wouldn't allow it to be shown until after he died, and even den he didn't like it. I talked Stanley into letting it run in da rest of da world, "Give da devil his due" I told him, and he did dat. Alright, you, da skin and bones hanging off ya dere.
My weight is the result of my being a nun of the Abstainian Order, which allows us one slice of bread a day. Due to this I am not long for this earth. But in the time I have left there is one movie I want to see, Spartacus, and I would like your unholy take on it.
Jesus, sister, chow down a chicken or something. I can see ya ribs poking ya in da back. You're as retarded as my last blow job - the kid thought I said crow job and covered himself in black feathers, jumped up and down, and made me throw corn at him. But ya, Spartacus, dat was Kirk Douglas prancing around pretending he was a slave and den getting other slaves to revolt. Unrealistic baloney, in real life da boys would have mowed dem down and hung dere heads on pikes leading into da city. Have ya seen Kirk Douglas lately? Looks like his head is already hung on a pike, and he's still moving around under it.
Thank you Father, for giving us your kind memories of a wonderful man and a great director, Stanley Kubrick.
Ya ain't heard a word I said have ya? O'Malley, dese brownies is makin' me see double, or dat may just be dose Olson twins. Grab my coat, we're outta here.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Panthers announced Saturday coach Ron Rivera will be back next season.
Panthers spokesman Charlie Dayton says Rivera met with owner Jerry Richardson Saturday morning and was told he will be back for a third season.
Dayton says "He's going about normal preparations for next season."
Rivera's status with the Panthers had been up in the air pending a meeting with Rivera on Saturday morning.
Richardson fired GM Marty Hurney after a 1-5 start and informed Rivera at the time Panthers needed to be "trending upward" the rest of the season. The Panthers went 6-4 from that point out, including four straight wins to close the season. It's unclear if Rivera, who's 13-19 in two seasons win Carolina, will be forced to make any changes to his staff.

Star Trek: Fleet Captains
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: Fleet Captains is a multi-player or multi-team game set within the "Prime Universe" of Star Trek. The game was created by game designers Ethan Pasternack and Mike Elliott, produced by WizKids, and was released to general retail in August 2011. Wizkids had initially referred the game as "Star Trek: Star Fleet Battles" in published reports but this name was changed shortly before its release.[1]
The base game utilizes the "Clix" system of play first used in WizKids' series of HeroClix games. Two players command multi-generational fleets of starships representing either the Federation Starfleet or the Klingon Defense Force. The duration of a single game is estimated to take between thirty and sixty minutes. Team play is also possible.
Although the game's starship miniatures have been advertised as "fully painted" and are regularly shown as such in press releases, the final production ships included with the game are unpainted and molded in either white or green. Fully painted versions of all of the ships from the Star Trek: Fleet Captains base game were subsequently released in WizKids' Star Trek: Tactics game.
Base game materials
- twelve Federation starships on "Clix" bases
- twelve Klingon starships on "Clix" bases
- twenty-four "Ship Information Cards", one for each ship
- fifty "Galaxy Locations" tiles
- two one-hundred card decks of "Command Cards", one for each fleet
- fifty "Encounter Cards"
- seventy-six "Mission Cards"
The following ships are included with the base game:
- USS Enterprise-A - Template:ShipClass refit
- USS Reliant - Template:ShipClass
- USS Excelsior - Template:ShipClass
- USS Yosemite - Template:ShipClass
- USS Venture - Template:ShipClass
- USS Sutherland - Template:ShipClass
- USS Defiant - Template:ShipClass
- USS Voyager - Template:ShipClass
- USS Enterprise-E - Template:ShipClass
- USS Yeager - Template:ShipClass
- USS Prometheus - Template:ShipClass
- USS Equinox - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Somraw - Template:ShipClass
- IKS QhonDoq - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Klothos - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Gr'oth - Template:ShipClass
- Kronos One - Template:ShipClass
- IKS T'Ong - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Korinar - Klingon Bird-of-Prey
- IKS Ch'Tang - Klingon Bird-of-Prey
- IKS Rotarran - Klingon Bird-of-Prey
- IKS Bortas - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Maht-H'a - Template:ShipClass
- IKS Negh'Var - Template:ShipClass
A new sector of unexplored space has been opened up for colonization and resource excavation. However, both the Federation and the Klingon Empire want control of the planets in this sector, and will pit their starships against each other to determine who can best explore and take advantage of it.
You and an opponent take the roles of Fleet Admirals, commanding either the Starfleet or Klingon fleet of ships. Each game scenario (determined by the "Mission Card" deck) will determine what ships are available to each fleet. Each scenario has a specific agenda and specific goals for either fleet to achieve in order to take control of the sector and win the game. Also, choosing specific ship types (battleships, explorers, etc.) will determine what encounters each fleet may undertake.
The sector of space is represented by a series of hexagonal "Galaxy Location" tiles, some of which are dealt out to the playing surface between the two fleets' starting bases. (This allows for a different "gameboard" every time the game is played.) Ships travel to these locations to explore the planets located therein. While doing so, you may battle enemy starships, establish starbases, or encounter various alien lifeforms, both benign and malevolent (via the "Encounter Card" deck). Successfully completing these encounters earns "victory points", and each game scenario has a set number of victory points to earn in order to win.
Ships will be set on "Clix" bases, and each ship will have a "Ship Information Card" assigned to it. Unlike other "Clix"-based ship-to-ship battle games (such as MechWarrior or Crimson Skies), the "Clix" base dials determine how the ship's energy resources are distributed rather than reflecting damage, although said resources will vary depending on which of three levels of damage a given ship has taken and in which of three operating modes it is in: normal operating, Yellow Alert, and Red Alert. In addition, each player has a deck of "Command Cards" that add additional effects to each encounter.
Like Star Trek: Expeditions, the game is designed to be "complete straight out of the box" with no additional collectible components or "blind" items required. However, as it is based on an "expandable" board game model, additional players, locations, and fleets from different factions (such as the Romulan Empire) have been created to allow further encounters and battle scenarios.
Romulan Empire Expansion
The Star Trek: Fleet Captains Romulan Empire Expansion is the first expansion pack for the game and will be released Oct 17, 2012. [[2]] It includes:
- twelve unpainted Romulan ships including the D'deridex class and Valdore type of warbird, the 22nd century Bird-of-Prey, the scout ship and the science vessel.
- ten sub-decks of ten cards each
- three-player game support to allow Federation vs. Klingon vs. Romulan play
- ten new Encounters
- twenty-five Espionage Mission cards
- new advanced rules to build upon the base game

Medal of Honor: Warfighter PS3 User Review

Medal of Honor: Warfighter (PS3) - 2 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
Medal of Honor Warfighter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Danger Close Games and published by Electronic Arts, and is a game that leaves you wondering what happened? The other Medal of Honor games have at least been mediocre, and amusing to play, but Medal of Honor Warfighter just does not live up to its hype. I have found it very hard to see anything that is worth praising, but I will do my best to try.
This installment leaves off where Medal of Honor left off. You play as a Tier 1 operative named Preacher who, after years of deployment, comes back to find his family in turmoil. It also seems that the deadly explosive PETN had begun to reveal itself in all sorts of organizations all across the world. You trek across the world with your unit, stopping bad guys and shooting foreigners, just like any Medal Of Honor game before it. Although this time around the firefights are bland, the missions are boring, the story is told by a complete amateur, and the game just is not any fun.
The games' missions start you off with a single weapon, a machine gun, and as you kill enemies you are free to loot and use their weapons, from aks to shotguns. Despite this, the action is very bland, boring, and funnily dumb. Your teammates are useless, they will blindly fire at anything, be it an enemy or not, and even the enemies will fire at random into walls that are not even near you, its very sad! The artificial intelligence in this game is really lacking the intelligence part, and is an extremely big letdown.
Despite all of this, the game is at least remotely fun to play through, and if you have a couple hours to kill on a Thursday night, and have absolutely nothing better to do, you can give Medal of Honor Warfighter a go. Its clunky feel, bad gameplay, and uninteresting storyline will not be enough to keep you from putting the control down.
Now the multiplayer does indeed fare a bit better than the single player version. Players take part in a large scale global battle by selecting which country they would like to defend. There are 12 different Tier One units from ten different nations that players have the ability to select from. There is also a new interesting thing they added to the multiplayer, with each online server you visit, the game will pair you with a random buddy. You can replenish each others health and ammo, and even respawn next to each other. If your team mate avenges your death, you will be respawned immediately.
Despite being a big letdown, Medal of Honor does have a fun multiplayer to look at and play for a couple hours. So if you have some change lying around, go pick up a used copy of this game and entertain yourself for just a short while.
PlayStation 3
Ever since Activision found mainstream success with their Call of Duty franchise, EA has been feverishly trying to play catch-up. Any franchise they already had was changed dramatically and rushed to market in order to try and compete, but EA has failed over and over again to try and sell these games opposite Call of Duty. That isn't to say they don't keep trying, which brings us to Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
The Medal of Honor series itself is a franchise with a long and storied history that reaches back to the days of the first Playstation, but its not relevant to its current iteration. What is important is the previous Medal of Honor game that came out in 2010, which was received poorly as an extremely generic military shooter. Is Warfighter more of the same, or has EA finally figured out how to compete with Call of Duty?
In short, Warfighter is once again more of the same. Every time they release a new military shooter, EA comes out and says that it will be different this time, and it never is. Every part of Warfighter's campaign feels as scripted as possible, forcing you down a bottleneck right in the direction they want you to go. Of course, it also includes the requisite on-rail vehicle sequences and the totally broken stealth sequences that seem common to all Call of Duty clones these days.
If the single player campaign was simply generic, perhaps it would be passable, but even after a massive day one patch on PS3, it is still full of infuriating game breaking bugs. The scripting completely breaks down often enough to be extremely annoying, and the stealth sequences, while not technically buggy, will often end in you killing the incorrect target through absolutely no error of yours. I'm sorry, EA, but this game is not Assassin's Creed. This is a first person shooter.
So, the campaign in Warfighter isn't fantastic, but then again, how many military shooters have a good story or gameplay in single player? What really matters is the multiplayer. Sadly, Warfighter falters once again here. Just like the 2010 Medal of Honor incarnation, the multiplayer mode in play here tries to be Battlefield and Call of Duty simultaneously, but in the process fails miserably at being either of them. Warfighter shares its slightly more janky shooting mechanics with Battlefield, while keeping in line with the scale you would expect from a Call of Duty title, making playing with other people an experience that is never terrible, but always feels lacking in some way or another.
In a world full of modern military shooters, there is never a reason to pick up anything that is even mildly mediocre, and the mediocrity here is far more than just mild. Unless you have completely run out of military shooters to play and are just dying to get your next fix, Medal of Honor Warfighter is not worth your time, and certainly not worth your hard earned money.

St. Andrews Child Development Center has raised several leaders, pastors and government workers across the nation. The center is located at Srivalliputhur, Virudhunagar District, on the southern tip of India, and is sowing the seeds of the urgent need for social welfare in the young minds of the area. The man behind the success is Nicholas, the senior-most coordinator of the center.
"Through this center, we not only influence individuals, but also inspire them to influence communities. One such innovative step taken by this project is Child Parliament."
Parliament is the supreme legislative body of India. The cardinal functions of the legislature include overseeing of administration, passing of budget, ventilation of public grievances, and discussing various subjects like development plans, international relations and national policies.
In a similar fashion, in order to create a growing awareness among children about the Indian political system, a Child Parliament was started, identifying the potential among children and nominating them as ministers of concerned departments.
The objectives of the Child Parliament include:
- making the children aware of their needs
- protecting the rights of children
- making the children advocates for the neighboring children
- teaching children responsibility and duty
- enabling children to make right decisions
- enhancing their problem-solving skills
- providing quality education to children
- inspiring children to be role models to the community
- inculcating leadership qualities at a young age
- building self-confidence and self-sufficiency
- creating awareness among children of important health issues
- motivating children to dream of a prosperous future
Child Parliament functions just like the Indian Parliamentary System. Child Parliament consists of numerous ministers, each selected in a democratic manner through casting votes.
The finance minister is in control of the Children's Bank. Children save their money in the Children's Bank.
The education minister is concerned with the academic performances of the children and how to encourage them to go to school regularly. Apart from this, it is necessary to enhance the communication skills of the students, increase their desire to learn, and encourage children to study well.
This spiritual/ethical minister deals with the importance of the fear of God and the attitude of children. This minister arranges for conventions, sets a good choir, practices new songs, and arranges for children's retreat and spiritual activities.
The sports minister conducts games for the people in the village, mainly during school vacations so that all children can participate and share love with one another.
The social welfare minister deals with issues related to electricity, water and child protection.
The electrical ministers is in charge of electrical items such as tube lights, lamps, bulbs, etc. He conducts training sessions on how to save electricity. Global warming projects are also conducted by him.
The public works minister is in charge of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
The arts and culture minister conducts talents show for children. He must be skilled enough to acknowledge their talents. He also conducts cultural programs for the children.
The health minister ensures cleanliness in the village and can report problems to concerned authorities. He must be aware of communal diseases and take needed steps to prevent them.
The minister of food and human rights focuses on helping villagers understand the importance of storing food properly and avoiding any waste.
Through Child Parliament, children have become aware of their rights. They become responsible citizens of the country. A network of children has been established, and they are exploring their talents and innovative ideas in a host of creative activities. Confidence and self-reliance is developed among the children.
The Child Parliament has helped achieve many things:
- Child Bank was started in 12 child development centers in the area, and children are saving the little money they get from their parents.
- Trees were planted in villages in the area. Almost 40 children planted trees for a better environment, and an awareness program was organized in nearby villages about global warming.
- A rally was organized to encourage people follow traffic rules.
- An awareness program concerning the ill effects of drug abuse and smoking was conducted.
These children, who are the ministers of the Child Parliament, went to nearby villages and found out the issues prevalent among children. They approached the local leaders and spoke about the Child Parliament.
Not only that, they went a step ahead and demonstrated Child Parliament. Through their demonstration, many children who were school dropouts decided to rejoin the school.
Many children volunteered to start Child Parliament in their own communities. Thus, eight community Child Parliaments have been started in different villages in Madurai with the help of the local political leaders.
In statewide election for Child Parliament, the children of St. Andrews were selected at both district level and state levels. Among 200 children who participated in this election, it is a matter of pride that four of the Compassion children were selected.
Nicholas proudly says,
"We are actively involved in transforming villages through Compassion. We instill social values in the little minds from their childhood. This enables them to become active, influential leaders of the society. The children raised through this project are now significant leaders in various fields such as industrial, political and social areas. I feel a deep sense of achievement on seeing my children achieving great heights in the society."

Whatever it takes to get there
Okay first off, for all the trolls I'm not saying Iowa state will go to a National title game this year or anything like that but me and a friend were talking about how much you'd be willing to spend to get there.
We assumed that tickets would cost at least $200+ for 1 ticket (upper nose bleeds) and then flight+hotel. But since its a national title game all of those things are harder to acquire for cheap. I'd be willing to spend at least $3-4k I think for me and my dad
So, cyclone fans travel very well but how many fans do you think would pony up big money to get to a title game?
Everyone would go. Everyone.
None, I'd go for free!
Follow me on Twitter: @mjballman20
However much it cost.
Sorry, kids...you'll have to pay your own way through college.
Whatever it takes to get there, and I would also make sure they were very good seats.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I'd blow my rainy day fund on it.
Whatever the cost would be for tickets, hotel, transportation, and fun money.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
What is current market rate of a kidney? Cause i'd sell one. Both, if I could.

This thread is making me want to start a F*** Michigan State thread.
What would you give me for one of my kidneys?
There's your answer.
Whatever it takes for me....
As a college student, lets just go with all my money. Which probably is still less then 1000. Student loans FTW
50" HDTV, $700. Directv subscription, $80. Getting to watch ISU win the NCAA, priceless.
No chance I would be able to go on such short notice. I have to plan out my vacation months in advance.
It's always nice to dream. That's why I tie some $ up every year with the NCAA lottery for Final 4 tickets. If I get tickets, then I can look forward to a great trip if we make it. If not, then I can look forward to seeing what the answer this question is for the 4 teams that make it and I sell my tickets...
If ISU made the Final Four, I would be there.
Same for the upcoming college football playoff or the Sugar Bowl now.

I am not surprised. There already was significant capacity to takeaway NGL's what with EPCO's ATEX project, Sunoco's Mariner project and the reversal of KM's Cochin line plus rail.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Deputies say two relatives were found dead inside a home in Turkey, that's in Sampson County.
Corporal Marcus Smith with the Sampson County Sheriff's Office said deputies first responded to a 911 call at 3660 New Hope Church Road in Turkey around 7:00 p.m. Sunday. Once deputies were on scene, they found the body of 39-year old Carlos Vazquez dead inside his home. Also found dead, a 18-year-old woman, Itzel Vasquez of Fayetteville. Deputies said the two are related, but have not disclosed how yet.
Investigators are waiting on an autopsy report from the state lab before confirming the causes of death for both.
WRAL-TV reports that family members told them the two were father and daughter. They told the television station the man first killed his daughter and then shot and killed himself.
Deputies said they believe this is an isolated incident and no one in the area is in danger.
Ten years ago, the father was credited for saving the life of his daughter during a fire at their Clinton home. Two other people died in that fire, which may have been caused by a Christmas tree being left on overnight.
