There isn't much to say about me, but I check ModDB frequently for my favorite mods, I enjoy modding as a hobby, and I like to dabble in many different activities.

Thanks for putting this up, otherwise I would've never found it. It's really awesome, the only thing that would make it better would be voice acting.
I really can't wait for this (the english version) It looks so friggin sweet! Keep up the awesome work guys.
I think it looks awesome! Keep up the good work.
This sounds amazing!
Can't wait to see more.
I was hoping more for a singleplayer game with co-op as an option, but maybe I'll enjoy the free-roam theme in this. I liked Galaxies kinda, just not enough to pay for it. Let's hope that this is different.
No problem, just offering my help. The offer will still stand in the future if you ever do need help. ;)
Well I didn't so much mean that this would be impossible without an SDK, it'll just be very very hard and take a long time. BTW, I'd be willing to do some map work for you
Okay, just wondering. If this turns out good (I'm sure it will) Then I'll certainly look for any future roundhouse games.
lol, I just noticed that there's a stick figure graphiti! XD
This looks awesome man, I'll finally have a reason to play CoD 4 on the computer again. It's nice to see a real mod for CoD 4 in the works.
Nice, I hope the engine swap didn't affect too much. I'm really looking forward to this game. BTW, are you guys doing this as your introduction into professional game development, or just to provide a free game for the community. (in other words, do you hope to become a pro game development team one day, releasing commercial games?)
While I must say this sounds interesting, I'm afraid without an SDK it will get no where more than a map pack. But never-the-less, here's wishing you the best of luck.
Just press and hold TAB (I'm not sure what it is, but it should be the same button to open the pip-boy on consoles) that will light up the surrounding area.
And on a different note: To all the people who are saying Fallout 3 is bad because it isn't top-down view; are you suggesting that they make an isometric game now? I'm afraid that just wouldn't work, and if you don't like it being first person then zoom out to third and just use VATS. All in all, if you don't like, then sell your copy and use the money to buy yourself a sense of taste (not food-wise of course)
lol, I will buy that.
Oh yeah. I think I remember them saying something about switching engines earlier.
I know, that's what I meant. It's the same structure, but a different color. Just to clarify
lol, it has a mag and a revolver clip?
I agree with bagg. I hope you include a .50 cal sniper, don't know if it would be possible to zoom with it though.
Sweet, but it would be nice to add in a pump-action shotty too.
What happened to all of the images?
This shows the different tints, its the same build as the previous one.
Looking good ;-)
Probably the best grenades I've ever seen. (in a game)
Funny. I can't wait to see the animations in-game.
Haven't been any updates in a while.
can't wait to see a texture on that!
Looking even more awesome, can't wait to download

Bhardwaj named gymnastics captain
Originally Published: August 11, 2004Associated Press
Mohini Bhardwaj, who is one of the oldest female gymnasts in the Athens Games at 25, was selected as captain of the U.S. women's gymnastics team.
"From a year ago, if you had taken odds on her making our Olympic team -- even the odds of making it to nationals -- she just continues to impress," USA Gymnastics president Bob Colarossi said.
Bhardwaj was one of the United States' most talented gymnasts as
a teenager, but the long hours of training burned her out. She

Surgery Tomorrow and Having a Hard Time Keeping it Together
Comments (4)
In the meantime, concentrate on this: TOF has an EXCELLENT prognosis and a HIGH success rate! Doctors have been perfecting this surgery for decades (someday, watch the movie Something The Lord Made...it's the amazing story of the doctors who did the first open heart surgery on a baby with TOF). We are sooo lucky to live in this time when doctors have perfected this type of surgery. Your baby is about to be fixed! :) It will be hard to see your LO in pain, but think of the long term, big picture: because of this surgery, he will soon be crawling, walking, running, playing, laughing, and be the all around KID he was meant to be! And he'll be sooo strong and sooo special to you...you'll have a bond that is unmatched because you both faught so hard and went through so much! I look at my son today (almost 5 months post op) and I am in awe of all he's been through in his young life and how you would NEVER KNOW by looking at him!
Best of luck! Please come back and give us updates!!!!
Michael - born 4/19/12 with Tetralogy of Fallot....full repair on 7/6/12...my little miracle <3 baby!
Charlie - born 5/26/15...my little lovebug!
Zachary 6/14/00 9lbs10ozs 22.5 in.
Lillian 5/10/12 8lbs13 ozs 19.7 in. - CH resolved at 32 weeks, TOF/PA - BT shunt 5/15/12, full repair 11/26/12
Losing it a little bit shows that you are a good mom and that you care! Good luck tomorrow and think about the end of sat monitors, tet spells and exhausted baby. I'll be a wreck when it comes time for the full repair, too, but we can both know that we are doing our best and the best for our kids :) Much love!
Prayers and love to those going through surgery today! No one understands better than the mommies and daddies here.
Johanna - Born 7/16/12, TOF with Pulmonary Atresia, PAPVR; BT Shunt 8/16/12; Repair 2/20/13

Welcome back to another exciting installment of This Week in Starbucks Crime, in which we catalog the bad acts occurring at Starbucks' 16,000-odd worldwide locations over the past seven days, as well as the week's fallout from prior Starbucks-related misdeeds. This week, the man who uncovered last week's Hartford toiletcam kerfuffle reveals himself to be more of a yutz than a mensch.
Rafael Zeligzon happens to fix sinks for a living. He calls himself the "Drain Medic." So when the sink at his local Starbucks in Hartford, Connecticut, was giving him no hot water on the afternoon of July 27, he decided to take a look-see at the pipes. This was how the Israeli-American discovered the toiletcam allegedly placed there by Paul Deveau, the Hartford man who was arraigned yesterday on 12 counts of voyeurism, released on $100,000 bail, and told to return to court on September 12.
Deveau is obviously a man with problems, both psychological and legal. We have little more to say about him at present. More interesting, surprisingly, is Zeligzon, who granted a remarkable interview to The Hartford Courant, in which he explained why he took the camera home with him and kept it overnight.
Via Facebook Rafael Zeligzon took matters into his own hands.
First, he said, he tried to give it to Starbucks employees, but they told him they were too busy to talk to him.
And the cops?
"Who do you trust?" he asked The Courant. "What if you hand it over to somebody and it's gone?"
What other course of action, then, did Zeligzon have but to take the camera home, download the contents onto his computer, and see what there was to see? (What there was to see, he says, were 18 videos of men using the toilet, many with their naughty bits showing.) He wanted to know, Zeligzon told The Courant, whether he was included in the footage. (After viewing the videos, in a Anthony Weiner-ian moment, he said he wasn't sure whether he was.)
The next day, Zeligzon returned to the Starbucks, where he handed over the camera to a manager, who then alerted cops. Even after viewing the video, he told The Courant, he didn't go to the cops himself because "I'm not supposed to report the crime. It wasn't my place where it happened."
Once the cops got involved, they confiscated Zeligzon's computer as evidence. Without it, he says, he has been unable to conduct business as the Drain Medic, reliant as he is on it to schedule his appointments and such.
So he wrote a letter to Starbucks asking for help.
"In light of my good deed which prevented further violations of privacy of your customers," Zeligzon wrote to Starbucks, "I am requesting that you provide me with a replacement laptop."
So far, he says, he's heard bupkis.
"I had a little dream that Starbucks would say, 'Sir, we really appreciate it,'" he told The Courant. "Give me a lifetime coffee pass for me and my boys and my girl and a couple of friends."
Instead, we are hearing that he plans to just sit there in the dark. But please don't worry, he insists. He'll be fine, just sitting there all alone in the dark, with no Internet or Excel. The last thing he'd want is for you to worry about him.
That's it for this week. Until next time, remember: If you download toiletcam porn onto your computer, the cops may take it from you, and Starbucks might not be guilted into buying you a new one.

Here's why: http://www.consumerhelpcentral.com/student-loan-lawsuit-good-news/
For that good work, they awarded themselves a fee of $5,479.87.
All that's in line with their contract. Freedom Debt Relief gets a fee of 21%--not 21% of what they save you--21% of the total debt. So if they reduce your $10,000 debt by one dollar, Freedom Debt Relief charges a fee of $2100.
All that is spelled out in their contract. That's a rip-off, but all they promise is to settle some of your debts for something "less than you owe." Knocking down a total debt of $50,000 to $49,999 means they've kept their promise--and earned $10,500 doing it.
Here's my promise. For most people, filing bankruptcy is a better deal than Freedom Debt Relief.

Johnson marks reaching 100 with friends, familyPublished 6:08pm Saturday, July 13, 2013
Saturday marked a milestone for Louise Johnson and her family, as she achieved a rare accomplishment — enjoying her 100th birthday cake on her 100th birthday. Johnson has seen 10 decades in Dallas County as she was born in Beloit July 13, 1913, and has lived in the area her entire life.
Johnson's only living daughter, Addie Lee Wright, 79, has been taking care of her mother, who now lives in her home, for the past 10 years. Wright said her mother used to clean houses when she was younger and has always had a thing for plants — a trait she passed on to Wright.
"She loves her flowers. And they're still doing good," Wright said as she pointed to several of Johnson's plants decorating the front of their home.
And when it comes to hitting that milestone of 100 years, Wright said it's not something that runs in the family. In fact, she isn't quite sure how her mother did it.
"She's outlived everybody in the family," Wright said of her mother, hinting that her longevity may have perhaps stemmed from her love of healthy foods. "She sure loved her greens and vegetables."
Wright said her mother's accomplishment is rare, noting four of Johnson's five children preceded their mother in death.
"Don't too many live to that age," Wright said with a smile. "I'll never make it — I have too many hurts and pains now. I'm the last one."
Wright said she sees her purpose in life now to take care of her mother, adding, "I'm just doing the best I can."
Johnson stays in her chair the majority of the day, but Wright said taking care of her mother is what keeps her young. And she laughed as she joked that when her mother acts out, it could be some sort of pay back for trouble she gave her mother years ago.
No matter how tough taking care of one's mother may be, Wright said this birthday will be a sweet one for Johnson.
"She loves sweets," Wright said. "She doesn't want any water to drink, we told her nurse, she likes Coke; so we said give her whatever she wants."
Wright said her daughter, Rosetta Perkins, often comes over to help take care of her mother as well.
"When she comes home she helps me put her in the bed. I try to help pick her up but my daughter does most of it," Wright said.
Perkins said, "It's just a blessing," that her grandmother has lived to celebrate 100 years.
For the last three or four years Wright said they held a big dinner party for Johnson, but this year they said the family would just be having a smaller luncheon.
Johnson started on with Gentiva Hospice in 2012, and Anne Taddicken, Gentiva's volunteer services manager said sharing in birthdays is just one of the highlights consumers receive from the hospice care.
"One of the things we like to do is commemorate birthdays, because when you're in hospice every birthday counts," Taddicken said. "So we like to bring a cake to the family and share in a momentous occasion.
"It's just something that we can do to make each day brighter, make a little difference and be apart of their life and their quality of life."
Johnson is the mother of five children, four deceased including: Robert Johnson, Louise J. Fowlkes, Johnie Johnson and Freward Johnson; one living Addie Wright. Johnson has nine grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

Get hooked on 'Peter Pan'

Watch out!
A pirate ship will weigh anchor at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House shoreline Saturday, June 28, from which Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and sword-wielding pirates will disembark.

Captain Hook will be scouting for his nemesis, Peter Pan, and the Lost Boys who will be frolicking on the grounds between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
In the fourth consecutive year of staging a fairy tales festival, the Ford House this year features Peter Pan and asks visitors to go on a Neverland Adventure with Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and all the other characters from the story.
The day will be filled with treasure hunts, fairy dust sprinklings, story telling and interaction between visitors and characters from J.M. Barrie's novel, "Peter and Wendy," that Walt Disney turned into the 1953 animated movie, "Peter Pan."
The Walt Disney Research Library loaned 40 original concept pieces of art by concept artist Mary Blair to display to round out the event.
Blair was one of Disney's favorite artists, Ford House's communication specialist Sarah Tuxbury said. Blair also created the character designs for "It's a Small World" and a 90-foot mosaic mural inside Disney's Contemporary Resort. She created the concept art for "Cinderella," "Lady and the Tramp" and "Alice in Wonderland." Alice was the focus of the 2013 fairy tale festival. But it's Blair's vision of the Peter Pan characters that make the story recognizable to modern day visitors.
Blair's exhibit, "Creating Neverland: The Art of Disney's Mary Blair" opens Saturday, June 28, and will be on display between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, through Monday, Sept. 1. Admission is included in the Ford House ticket.
"The images are so great, so colorful, vibrant," said Ann Fitzpatrick, Ford House vice president of communications.
When the Ford House gates swing open that morning, visitors will be walking into 19th century London, and then into Neverland. Be alert. Pirates will have landed and might give unsuspecting children a lesson in sword fighting and make them take the pirate's oath. A child can make a wand similar to Tinkerbell's and pretend to be trapped in a life-size lantern in Josephine's playhouse.
There will be a rock climbing wall and a trampoline to learn how to fly, both courtesy of the Lost Boys.
Armed with a treasure map, children can visit marked stations and earn a prize at the end of the treasure hunt.
There also will be a photo booth with props for young visitors to dress up like one of the book's characters or they can watch as an artist creates shadow drawings or talk with a mermaid swimming in the lagoon. Every half hour Grosse Pointe Theatre and Motor City Youth Theatre provide vignettes from the book originally written as a play in 1904. The Lost Boys' Lair offers an opportunity for families to read together and they assist visitors in climbing a rock wall.
Advance tickets cost $12, or $15 at the door. This year, the Ford House is offering a family four-pack for $40. It includes four admission tickets and four Dearborn Sausage Co. hot dogs.

boggis, bunce and bean are just about the nastiest and meanest three farmers you could meet. and they hate mr fox, they are determined to get him. so they lie in wait outside his hold, each one crouching behind a tree with his gun loaded, ready to shoot, starve or dig him out. but clever, handsome mr fox has other plans.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden tale" of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: "Boggis and Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean." Whatever their prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do smell like.
This early Roald Dahl adventure is great for reading aloud to three- to seven-year-olds, who will be delighted to hear that Mr. Fox keeps his family one step ahead of the obsessed farmers. When they try to dig him out, he digs faster; when they lay siege to his den, he tunnels to where the farmers least expect him--their own larders! In the end, Mr. Fox not only survives, but also helps the whole community of burrowing creatures live happily ever after. With his usual flourish, Dahl evokes a magical animal world that, as children, we always knew existed, had we only known where or how to look for it. (Ages 9 to 12)Review:
A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero (David Walliams)

And while he liked to refer to Department of Ecology officials as "yellow-booted thugs," and compared regulators' tactics to "those used 70 years ago in Nazi Germany," he also was none too generous-of-spirit toward people without jobs.One of the bumper stickers BIAW handed out to its members back in the '90s said: "Make Welfare As Hard To Get As A Building Permit." Charming. In the early '00s, the BIAW went to war against the state's unemployment insurance system, which it condemned for its "extreme costs and liberal benefits."
McCabe himself, meanwhile, is leaving his longtime place of employment with very little to worry about. He's collecting a $1.25 million buyout from the BIAW, the Olympian reports. That's after blowing millions of dollars of his members' money on two failed efforts to elect Dino Rossi governor, as well as a failed initiative this year to privatize workers' comp.
McCabe, whose official BIAW mug shot (above) did not change during his two decades of service, is certainly staying true to his principles: You won't see him feeding at the taxpayer trough. Trouble is, unlike McCabe, most of us don't have hundreds of small Washington businesses willing to shower us with cash if we'll only go away.

"Is that ahi tuna?"
"No. It's a-ha tuna. This is a comedy interview."
So went a not-atypical exchange during my recent conversation with area comedians George Strader, Patrick Adamson, and Andrew King. (It was George who asked about the tuna and Patrick who ordered it. If you were wondering, Andrew had a burger.) But while the jokes and laughs tended to come fast and furious during our chat, there was one thing this trio was dead-serious about: The Quad Cities' comedy scene has, since the beginning of this decade, been enjoying a pretty dramatic renaissance. A pretty inspiring one, too.

It was difficult to go into Saturday's performance of New Ground Theatre's The Way West without high expectations given the cast of women involved. I've enjoyed all four of them in the past and was certain I'd be impressed yet again, and by the end of the night, my respect for their talents was mostly renewed due to each one's admirable characterization.

Director Jennifer Popple's decision to set her Augustana College production of As You Like It in the 1960s is one of the most appropriate changes in time-setting for theatrical material I've yet witnessed. Such shifts sometimes seem gimmicky, or are better in concept than execution, but here it works, and works well.

Jessica Lamb-Shapiro's Promise Land seems to invite preconceptions.
First, there's the white kitty hanging perilously from a rope on the book cover, cheekily recalling the famous "Hang in There" inspirational poster.
Then there's the subtitle: My Journey Through America's Self-Help Culture.
Flip to the first page of prologue. The book opens: "Ten years ago, I tagged along with my father to a weekend conference on how to write self-help books." Yes, it really was a self-help retreat for self-help-guru wannabes.
From those elements, you might expect an arch, cynical take-down of a movement and the industry that feeds it (or feeds off it).
Lamb-Shapiro will be the January 27 guest in the River Readings at Augustana series, and you're hereby advised to not judge this book by its cover or its opening sentence. It's so much richer than that.

text: It's hardly a shocker of a campaign move, even in a city where nothing is more sacred than single-family neighborhoods, but Greg Nickels announced today his support for the planned Children's Hospital expansion, which the City Examiner ruled against, citing inconvenience to the hospital's Laurelhurst neighbors. He's directed the Department of Planning and Development to appeal the Examiner's recommendation to the City Council. Be it Chicago-style bullying or just competent-style getting things done, now's a good time to mount up, regulator.

"Vajra Sky Over Tibet" is a beautiful travel video narrated by gentle souls who gradually grow angry.
Like a slide show from a host who starts to remember more and more indignities on the trip, "Vajra" contrasts overwhelmingly placid views of gorgeous Tibet with voice-overs that slowly get to the point: The Chinese government is out to destroy all you see on screen.
Director John Bush takes us across the mountains, into the valleys and through the cities, eventually bringing us inside the Buddhist monasteries that outsiders believe give Tibet its distinctive soul. The sights of burning candles, spinning prayer wheels and chanting, ecstatic monks working with their hands are charming.
The film simply takes too long to deliver its message. Glancing criticisms of the Chinese government policy of moving in Han Chinese to overpopulate native Tibetans add little new to the debate. Since native Tibetans are afraid to speak on camera, and Chinese government officials believe they don't have to, like most movies about Tibet, "Vajra" is as much nostalgia as argument.
"Vajra" is part of the Truly Indie series at Landmark theaters, where filmmakers pay for screen time to get their movies shown. It certainly lives up to its marketing slogan, a journey inside "a radiant and endangered world." I'm just not sure where that journey takes us, beyond a gallery of stunning pictures.
"Vajra Sky Over Tibet" | ** RATING
NOT RATED, includes mature discussion of religion and politics|1 hour, 29 minutes|DOCUMENTARY|Directed by John Bush|Opens today at Landmark's Chez Artiste Theatre.

Seriously, Madoka Magica fans should take time to read this piece of literary art. I really f-cking love it.
Honestly, the reason I ended up drawing Sayaka/Oktavia was 'cause I really wanted to draw somebody with a hoodie today, and though Kyoko Sakura came to mind at first, I was having a bit of a hard time drawing her for some reason. Which is weird 'cause I am very, very sure that I've got a thing for drawing legs and ponytails, which Kyoko both has... (sorry Kyon) Decided later on that I'd just draw Blue Tuna(or whatever weird nickname Kyoko made up for 'er) here as she was during her early appearances. 'Cause hoodies+monster girls=win. Do the math, people.
Great job! Working on Margot now!
Dumb question, but how does she have her old hairclips?
Beats me. Just felt like drawing 'em in, actually.
Or, y'know, Mami or Charlotte had some to spare...
Cause hoodies+monster girls=win, yes very true!
I thought it was Wakisagihime for a moment there XD. Resonance days is a good fic if you want action, subtle yuri, and Kyouko. I mostly read it for the author and Kyouko. Especially the Kyouko...
Oh my, you read it too?? 8D
I'm still giggling about how Oktavia got a cameo in RoSD literally one week before the DDC demo came out. That's not something that happens twice!
And goddamn, this picture is awesome. If bitches love mermaids, then I proudly wear the bitch label!

I have exhausted every method of trying to uninstall this old version of Quicktime so I can install the latest version but it still tells me I have to uninstall QT7.
Not sure what you've already done here. But the first thing I'd try with that (you don't explicitly mention having done it yourself) is downloading and installing the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries, and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Holiday gift ideas for comic-book fans include art books, anniversary titles
With Black Friday upon us, those with comic book fans in their lives might be considering what items relating to the hobby would make good holiday gifts. There are several items, from archival reprints to art books and histories, that might make good selections.
2010 marks the 75th anniversary of DC Comics, so several items are available celebrating that landmark. Paul Levitz has written the enormous "75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking" ($200) from Taschen, recounting the company's history with lots of beautifully presented art. The hardcover book "DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle" ($50) takes fans on a chronological tour through important events in DC Comics' publishing history.
For those who may be fans primarily of DC Comics' artwork, "DC Comics: The 75th Anniversary Poster Book" ($40) provides a look at some of DC's greatest covers, which can be pulled out as posters if desired.
Another DC Comics-related book of interest is "Icons: The DC Comics & Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee" ($39.95), which recounts the post-Marvel comics art of the DC Comics co-publisher, who has drawn story lines including "Superman: For Tomorrow" and "Batman: Hush." Fans of classic comics may want to try out "Shazam!: The Golden Age of the World's Mightiest Mortal" ($35), which looks back at the phenomenon of Captain Marvel from comics' Golden Age.
Aspiring comic book artists might be interested in "Stan Lee's How to Draw Comics" ($24.99), which covers essential elements in comic book creating, or "Bryan Hitch's Ultimate Comics Studio" ($24.99), which shows the techniques of the popular comic book penciller.
If your comic fan's taste runs more toward the indie, Oni Press has released a complete box set of all of the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novels. Called "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Box Set" ($72), this slipcased collection contains all six of Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Pilgrim" graphic novels, in which a slacker must defeat all of his new girlfriend's evil exes.
Marvel Comics fans may enjoy "Marvel Avengers: The Ultimate Character Guide" ($16.99), which gives a rundown on the various characters that were part of "The Avengers" over the years.

Trimble Acquires Assets Of C3 To Further Strengthen Its Connected Farm Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that it has acquired the assets of privately-held C3 of Madison, Wis. The acquisition will enable Trimble to provide unique soil information as well as decision recommendations to farmers' trusted advisors—such as agronomists, Trimble resellers or Ag retail suppliers. Farmers will be able to view the C3 data and recommendations from their trusted advisor on the Connected Farm™ dashboard, a Web portal that provides one centralized location for farmers to view key information impacting their operations. To align with Trimble's brand agnostic strategy, the data can be applied to all manufacturer equipment types. Financial terms were not disclosed.C3 combines crop information with detailed soil data to enable a more complete assessment of the site-related factors that impact crop yield, quality and health. The C3 Soil Information System™ (SIS) solution is a collection of innovative tools and techniques for digital, 3-D mapping of soil characteristics—analyzing 120 unique soil and topographic properties. With SIS, it's now possible to precisely map the top four feet of the earth's surface using above and below ground sensors combined with GPS. The data is processed with a series of algorithms resulting in more than 60 precise 3-D soil models for physical and chemical soil characteristics including root zone depth, soil texture, plant available water, compaction depth and severity, macro and micro nutrient levels, soil nutrient holding capacity, and salt and toxicity concentrations. "With the combination of C3 technologies, the Connected Farm and Trimble's recent acquisitions of RainWave and IQ Irrigation, Trimble is able to provide a farmer's trusted advisor with a unique toolset," said Joe Denniston, vice president for Trimble's Agriculture Division. "For example, they will now have access to detailed soil analysis, rainfall totals, precise irrigation amounts, as-applied seed and fertilizer rates, weather forecast and decision recommendations, enabling them to provide better answers to their clients, and leading to more precise farming. This can result in input savings, increased yield, and environmental benefits such as reduced nitrogen leaching into waterways as a result of more precise irrigation plans and input applications." "Trimble's acquisition of C3 brings leading-edge technologies to Ag service providers worldwide," said Dan Rooney, CEO and founder of C3. "Improving agricultural productivity through smarter management is essential to meeting future food demands, and we believe that C3 technologies will be an important part of the Trimble solutions that help address the challenge."

So Long Octopress, Hello Wintersmith
Octopress has been a popular hacker's blog for quite a while, and so I made the switch a few years ago in order to escape the clutches of Wordpress. Now I have a hack-able blog that also costs me nothing to host.
Unfortunately, Octopress isn't a good long-term fit. At the end of the day the deal-breaker for me is the fact that it runs on ruby.
Don't get me wrong, ruby itself is just fine. But, if you've worked with ruby on Windows you know that its full of pain all the way down. If you're thinking about it, do yourself a favor and just don't do it.
Sure, I could have run Linux on a separate partition, or on a VM, or in the
cloud, etc. I have no problem doing that, except that it requires managing yet
another machine/OS. I'm already investing enough time automating Windows-based
workstations, so why
waste spend my time on it if I don't have to?
So I set out to find an alternative that would work reliably on Windows, and run on node.js. I targeted node because it generally just works on Windows, and node and JavaScript in general are skills that I'm more interested in developing. What I found was Wintersmith.

November 12, 2009
Another Thursday rundown, featuring news of the day and recapping the most pertinitent information to arise from a full slate of Wednesday games.
• The struggling Hornets have parted ways with Byron Scott. The team has been average on offense and surprisingly bad on defense. While some have attributed the slow start to Scott's no longer being able to motivate the team, David West(notes) told reporters today that there were "philosophical differences" between Scott and some of the players. Current GM and former assistant Jeff Bower will take over as the team's head coach, and he's largely responsible for assembling the current roster. There's not a depth of talent to be mined here, but fantasy owners can at least hope that the switch allows Chris Paul(notes), West, and Emeka Okafor(notes) to maximize their talents. A few key quotes from the press conference:
Bower: Bower said rather than Scott's up-tempo approach on offense, he would prefer to see "steady pace with flow to the game," a better transition from offense to defense.
Bower: "What I'm not going to do is turn away from things that have been successful."
West: "I think we got to the point to where things we were doing just weren't effective."
• There are only two games on tap for Thursday, and the only notable status updates involve the Lakers' frontcourt. Although he's probably not out until Christmas, Pau Gasol's(notes) timetable remains indefinite. Andrew Bynum(notes) is expected to be back in the lineup for their matchup with the Suns.
• If you thought it couldn't get any worse in Oakland, then click here.
• What to do with Elton Brand(notes)... In a nutshell, the Princeton offense works best when their is only one post player on the floor, and the 76ers currently start two (Brand and Samuel Dalembert(notes)). The Princeton offense necessitates that you have a three-point shooter (or three) on the floor to spread things out for cutting players and the single post option - Jason Kapono(notes) is the sole long-range sniper on the team, and he runs with the second unit. When Marresse Speights is on the floor, it's often in a small lineup where he is the single "big" and Kapono is also involved. To me, it's a no-brainer that the starters are struggling, particulary relative to the team's second unit. What is Eddie Jordan's take?
"When you deal with the starting lineup, that can be a sensitive issue among the players. I don't want to touch a nerve right there right now. Look, are there reasons or are there some reasons for me to warrant to change the starting lineup? Yeah, because our second group has been playing very well. I like the way Marreese has been playing, I like the way Jason Smith(notes) has been playing ... but does that warrant me to change the starting lineup? No, not right now."
Okay, Eddie. More food for thought: take a look at the top two units here, note the singular difference in personnel, and then the marked difference in both offensive and defensive efficiency. While it's true that we're not dealing with large sample sizes, I'm not sure how he can say that a change in the starting lineup isn't already warranted... Brand will continue to post poor numbers for at least as long as there is no shake-up in the rotation. If Jordan makes the obvious switch, then Brand has significantly more hope for a turnaround, and that's magnified if Brand is occasionally allowed to be the single "big" in the lineup, as it's almost exclusively been Speights in that role to this point.
• Al Jefferson(notes) will miss the Timberwolves' next two games because of an illness in his family. Some combination of Ryan Hollins(notes), Oleksiy Pecherov(notes), and Nathan Jawai(notes) will absorb the surplus minutes against the Mavs (Friday) and Grizzlies (Saturday).
• The Knicks' backcourt is in a state of flux. Chris Duhon(notes) can't buy a bucket (25% FG, 22% 3PT) and his ability to positively (or noticeably) affect a game is in serious question. Toney Douglas(notes) has averaged 20 points and three treys over the past three games, including a start and 36 minutes on Wednesday, but the fact that he's also totaled three assists and six turnovers in those games doesn't bode well for his leading the offense. Larry Hughes(notes) is still Larry Hughes, but he at least impacts a game and has logged a 32:14 assist-to-turnover ratio to date. Nate Robinson(notes) could return Friday, but next week is a safer bet, and he's the likeliest candidate to relieve Duhon of his point guard duties, assuming he can't snap out of his current funk. The Knicks play just twice over the next eight days, although they are both favorable matchups (GSW, @IND).
Notes from Wednesday's games:
• It was the first real test for Josh Howard's(notes) ankle - the second of back-to-back games - and he didn't exactly pass with flying colors. He was limping on the court after 19 minutes (and 2-of-11 shooting), was subsequently pulled, and did not return. Rick Carlisle had the following comment:
"We'll evaluate it and treat it accordingly. He's had some soreness. It's no secret. There's going to be times when there's soreness, and we have to get him out of the game."
Howard also added that his ankle had swelled and that "cutting and stuff was killing me." While it's not known exactly how far Howard is from 100 percent, fantasy owners should clealry expect a bumpy ride for at least the next few weeks and be aware of his status on a game-by-game basis. The Mavericks play three more sets of back-to-backs before December 1.
• What Erick Dampier(notes) giveth, Erick Dampier taketh away. He recorded just one point, four boards, and no blocks against the Spurs after averaging 9.8 points, 12 boards, and 2.8 blocks in his previous six games.
• Richard Jefferson(notes) has picked up the slack in the absence of Tim Duncan(notes) and Tony Parker(notes), averaging 26.5 points, 1.5 threes, 7.5 boards, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals over two games. His ceiling is certainly limited when this team has it's full complement of players, but that's not something to be expected all the time. RJ's fantasy owners should just take the numbers while they are there - at least one of the Spurs' two missing stars will be back for their next game (Saturday, OKC).
• DeJuan Blair(notes) on the other hand failed to capitalize on the surplus opportunity, logging nine fouls in 39 total minutes between the past two games (combined 9 points, 13 boards, 1 block).
• T.J. Ford(notes) left Wednesday's game with back spasms, and it's currently unknown if he'll miss any time moving forward. Earl Watson(notes) filled in admirably against the Warriors (35 minutes, 16 points, 3 treys, 6 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals). He technically makes sense as a speculative add in deeper leagues, but the Pacers play just once over the next five days and the matchup is not appealing (BOS).
• Give some of the credit to the matchups, but in 61 minutes over two games, Anthony Randolph(notes) has totaled 40 points on 47-percent shooting, 20 boards, six steals, and five blocks. With Andris Biedrins(notes) out at least another 10 days or so, AR's fantasy owners seem to have at least something of a temporary reprieve from the madness.
• Anthony Morrow(notes) replaced Stephen Curry(notes) in the starting lineup on Wednesday and that's likely to stick, at least while Biedrins is sidelined and if Morrow can do a bit better than 2-of-7 shooting. (I'll spare you the "analysis", but there's more Nellie/Stephen Jackson(notes) drama to take in if you follow that link, as well).
• John Salmons'(notes) owners have to be completely frazzled at this point, as his 1-for-11 shooting on Wednesday lowered his season mark to 31 percent. The career 36-percent shooter from long range also has made just 26 percent of his attempts thus far on the season. The shots are bound to start falling at some point and the rest of his line looks really good (4.1 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.8 blocks), so my advice would be to reject any offers to buy low. And if you don't have him rostered, you should attempt to buy low.
• Taj Gibson(notes): 28 points, 11 boards, five steals, and three blocks in 62 minutes over the past two games. This is the last time I'll bring it up, but yes, he's worth a roster add for the next month or so.
• Jose Calderon(notes) has made 13-of-17 shots over the past two games, raising his shooting percentage to an even 50 percent on the season. Please direct any and all complaints towards his counting stats (0.8 threes, 6.4 assists, 0.8 steals).
• The Celtics are a tough matchup for anyone, so that makes Deron Williams'(notes) line (13 points, 7 boards, 4 assists) that much more passable when you consider that he played 33 minutes with calf and back issues. He's currently considered probable for Friday's tilt at Philly.
• Wednesday's loss to the Celtics dropped the Jazz to 3-5 on the season, and Jerry Sloan could be contemplating a lineup change. Although conventional wisdom suggests that Paul Millsap(notes) would be joining the starters in some capacity, Sloan's comments were that "We'll see what happens" and "I don't know who it will be."
• Raja Bell(notes) missed Wednesday's debacle against the Pistons, but a calf injury was the culprit and not his wrist. Flip Murray(notes) got the start (31 minutes, 11 points, 2 threes) ahead of D.J. Augustin(notes) (16 minutes, 3 points, 3 assists).
• Line of the night had to go to Ben Wallace(notes), who didn't attempt a shot in 31 minutes: zero points, nine boards, three assists, zero turnovers, three steals, and three blocks.
• The numbers sure look good right now (15.3 points on 55-percent shooting, 9.2 boards, 2 blocks in 32 minutes per game), but I've got little faith in Andrew Bogut(notes) staying healthy over the course of the season. The Bucks play the Warriors on Saturday and then have four-game schedules for each of the next three weeks. I might mark that first week of December as a good time to think about a "sell high" strategy if he's still getting it done at that point.
• Mike Conley's(notes) string of off nights continued against the Rockets (17 minutes, 1-of-6, 2 points, 3 assists), and this time Marcus Williams got some serious run in his place (31 minutes, 3-of-11, 7 points, 7 assists). It's doubtful that Williams is any threat to his job at this point, but it's a situation to monitor while we also wait for an Allen Iverson(notes) update.
• Aaron Brooks(notes) was also off in the game (26 minutes, 3-of-10, 8 points, 3 assists), despite it being decided early, paving the way for Kyle Lowry(notes) to get solid run (29 minutes, 8 points, 8 boards, 10 assists, 2 steals).

"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through.
