preview of uniarch mspgcc for experienced developers
Peter Bigot <pabigot <at> users.sourceforge.net>
Time to kick this fledgling out of the nest and see if it flies or becomes catfood. The uniarch release of mspgcc is now available for alpha testing by experts. Not all changes are in place, but most user-visible ones should be stable. I've successfully built TinyOS programs with this using the current TinyOS trunk off Google Code; you'll get a warning about referencing the deprecated <io.h> but otherwise it seems fine. Note: This version should support every one of the 290+ chips in the TI MSP430 product line, has a little bit of cleanup including unit tests for function attributes and builtins, and uses the improved optimizations in gcc 4.5. All the other enhancements, including 20-bit support, are yet to come. Patience is a virtue. By "experts" I mean that for now you need minimal fluency with git, and should follow the instructions at: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Devel:UniarchGit If you discover errors in that description, please let me know, but I won't be answering general questions about how to use git or to build the tools. Be aware that the full set of repositories is about 800MB (gcc alone is 571MB) to download; altogether you'll need about 2GB for the unpacked sources, a build area, and installation. I am not imposing a version numbering scheme at this time. After it's clear somebody other than me can make this work, I'll provide patches against upstream releases (binutils 2.21 and gcc 4.5.2) and a little more packaging support in msp430mcu so people can build things without git. Each set of patches that are expected to work together will be placed in the mspgcc repository and will be assigned a version number based on the release date. Please DO NOT package any of these files for distribution. My intent is to use releases based on gcc 4.5.2 to work out the kinks. I do not guarantee there won't be changes in object file formats, interface, or anything else. Once everything looks good from the msp430 side, I'll update the development branches to be based on gcc 4.6.0, which will be the initial stable release for uniarch, and the basis of all future enhancements. I'll be updating various documentation, both on the wiki and in the user's manual. The users manual in particular is way out of date. Note that I favor explicit use of builtins and GCC attributes, rather than the syntactic sugar supplied by <iomacros.h> and <signal.h>. When you find that old code doesn't compile, consider that a bug, but whether it's fixed will depend on circumstances. Everything that I broke intentionally has a "new, improved" way of being done. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Devel:Uniarch#User_Visible_Changesis one place where I'm putting a list of those changes. When you run into problems, file a tracker ticket on the mspgcc (NOT mspgcc4) SourceForge tracker, or email this list or me directly. Peter

Items Included In This Sale
- Hairpiece: Headbands
I ordered this beautiful Sara Gabriel headwrap when I ordered my wedding dress last fall. It's incredibly delicate and so versatile: the strand is adorned with Swarovski crystals and measures 95″ long. It can wrap around the head 3 times. When it came and I tried it on, I loved it but it just didn't go with my dress, so I bought another headpiece and never wore this one. It has been sitting in the box and I would love to sell it to someone who would get some joy out of it!
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Location: New York, NY
- Will Ship to: Other
- Payment Methods Accepted: Escrow.com
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

So they've been making games since the original Xcom, and except for the direct sequel, which was more of the same but somehow less, they were reputedly a bit shit. The simultaneous turn-based stuff doesn't work for them, or anyway it hasn't in the past.
I played Xcom for the first time about 3 years ago. Brilliant. Then i tried the most up to date of the spiritual sequels, which turned out to be awful. I'm not holding my breath for this, but i hope they get it right and find some of the original magic again.

There's a part of me that wishes that instead of making sequels on updated engines, they'd make mods for the original. Still, this looks ok. Certainly better than the games they've been making after the first. Is this done by the same guys, or is it all 2K dev?
EDIT: and sorry to rain on the parade. I really enjoyed the original, and was disappointed by the sequels. I worry that without that same, retro feel, in both gameplay and scenario, it's going to be a mess. The world govt, UN budgeted, post 60's UFO global agenda feel isn't well served by slick tech and corporatisation shoved in because the devs don't have any original ideas and just shoehorn it in. The vibe of the original will be tough to reproduce without a decent zeitgeist to back it up. I like old sci-fi; I don't think much of Hollywood.

You realise most of the so called "sequels" weren't actually licensed as sequels at all, they were completely different games, by different companies/people as more of a homage to the genre.
The lead designer of the game never really did much (of note) beyond that game. In fact he mostly just kept making that same game over and over again, tried forming his own game company, twice, failed both times. Here's a game he did for the game-boy advance:

88 ~ a love letter to an island, by Maria Alva Roff Written over the course of 88 days in Reykjavik, Iceland, during one glorious and apocalyptic autumn season...

"...it's non-linear and almost reads like a poem in places. It means you could just read a few random pages without feeling that you've missed out by not reading it in order. It is full of emotion and I would imagine it was pretty cathartic to write. Maria is a natural writer and proven she can adapt her writing style, and be a creative writer as well as she can cover factual topics." ~ Eva, of I'd Rather Be in Iceland"

This is my book ~.~ It's a love letter to my favorite island home, written over the course of 88 days in Reykjavik, Iceland, during one glorious and apocalyptic autumn season.
I've known for years that I would write it in 2012, starting on my birthday, but I didn't really understand how much it would mean to me. I'd like to share with you all, and give you the chance to purchase your own copy via the Blurb Online Bookstore.
Since I was 17 I've known that I have the same birthday as F. Scott Fitzgerald, and that we're both born in the Year of the Monkey, he in 1896, me in 1968. I knew that he died far too young of alcoholism, at age 44, and so decided that I'd try starting up where he left off and begin to write with dedication at that same age.
A few years ago I discovered something that frankly boggled me: F. Scott passed away on December 21st, 1940, at 44 years and 88 days old. It just so happened that I would turn 44 years and 88 days old on December 21st, 2012, the famous end day of the Mayan calendar. So a decision was made. I'd start writing on our birthday. And because he drank himself to death, I'd even try living a bit of his lifestyle while writing. So I had a plan from the start. But what I didn't account for were all the things that happened during those days, and how they were to influence how the story unfolded: life, death, sex... and love.
Buy yourself a copy and take the journey I took, experiencing the autumn season of a white girl living on a volcano who knew she was supposed to die.

mariaroff says "I'll just say that reading this slim volume is nothing like a genteel browsing through a personal memoir, it's more akin to diving into a psychological mælstrom. 'Alva' taps into some very deep primal forces in an internal monologue which takes place in the span of 88 days." ~ Professor Batty, Flippism is the Key (http://flippistarchives.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html)

Smoking is known to be one of the most addictive and one of the worst habits that one can have. Once the surgeon general's warning became a part of the packaging in which cigarettes come in, more smokers began looking for a way to curb, and ultimately stop their habit. The introduction of the vaporizer has changed many lives.
Vapor Couture Ecigs have revolutionized the vapor industry. It is an electronic cigarette that is also battery operated. The Ecig comes with flavor cartridges.
Passion Fruit is one of the many flavors of the cartridges. It is inspired by the passion fruit, a perennial creeping plant indigenous to tropical parts of America. The flower has various health benefits like anti cancer fighting properties from the extracts. The peel is believed to reduce asthma symptoms. Studies are currently begin done to check the benefits that the extract has on osteoarthritis. The passion fruit is known by other names as well: passiflora, apricot vine, grenadilla, maracuja, and maracuya.
It is available in 4 different nicotine strengths: 0% nicotine, 0.6% nicotine, 1.2% nicotine or 1.8% nicotine for the customer to choose from. The passion fruit Ecig cartridges are available for purchase in packs of 5, 20, or 40 and they are full flavored and fruity with the essence of passion fruit. The Ecig cartridges also have an expiration date that determines when to use them, and maintain freshness. The price of a five pack starts at $12.95, if you need more a forty pack will set you back around $75.00 making the price of each Ecig around $1.88 as opposed to around $2.60 if you buy a five pack. Which means you save money for buying in bulk. It also comes with a warranty for five replacements. You can get an even better discount if you use this great Vapor Couture coupon code.
If you are looking for a way to stop your habit of smoking and you have tried all of the other methods then Ecig's may be the answer for you. Try all of flavors and choose the one that is best for you. This is a wonderful alternative to patches, pills, or any other kind of assistance that is available.

Saving energy is not only important in helping control global climate change, but also saving money, and LG thinks that their new THINQ line of appliances will help you do both. With the ability to set the level of power usage, and to let the computer know about your local electricity rates, all of the appliances can adjust to do power hungry tasks at the cheapest times. LCD displays, and in future models, smartphones and tablets, allow you to see up-to-the-minute reports on usage and performance, and in future models an offload washer or a failed fridge compressor will ping right to your phone the problem over your WiFi network. Not satisfied with standing still, their Roomba competitor HOM-BOT is also controllable via smartphone, and can even feed the cat for you.
Smart appliances started out as things like internet on the refrigerator door, something no one really needed or wanted, but these sound like a much more logical step toward technology integration. If I have a fridge that can tell what's going bad tomorrow via RFID tags and generate me a list while I'm at the store, that's really handy, and certainly robot feeding avoids those nasty ankle bites when you decide to go out to dinner after work and someone is displeased with the absent victuals. Conceptually it all sounds great, but let's see how smart they are when faced with a toddler and a screwdriver.

GREELEY, Colo. – Santa Clara University rallied from a 14-point deficit by playing inspired basketball following the halftime intermission and nearly knocked-off the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley on Wednesday.
Northern Colorado (2-1) received 16 points from freshman guard D'shara Strange and made the needed free throws in the closing moments to hold on for the win, 65-57.
Santa Clara (0-2) – who trailed by as many as 14 in the first half - made 9-of-12 shots immediately after the break to get back into the game, tying it at 43 with 12 minutes left.
Alyssa Shoji scored 16 points, 12 from beyond the arc while Lena Gipson and Lindsay Leo combined to score 25 points in the paint.
UNC established leads of 11-6 and 19-11 in the first half, benefiting from poor shooting in the early going from a Santa Clara team that made just two of their first 10 attempts. SCU shot 25 percent from the floor in the opening period.
Consecutive 3s from Shoji and Ricki Radanovich pulled the Broncos within four, 21-17, with 4 minutes remaining in the half.
UNC answered with a 10-0 run, fueled by a triple from Kaisha Brown and an old fashioned three-point play from Strange. The Bears took a 33-21 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Brown finished with 16 points for UNC and Courtney Stoermer added 12.
Santa Clara responded in a big way to open the second half, playing well on both ends of the floor. Gipson's second basket of the half with 15:03 on the clock capped off a 12-4 Bronco run to open the period.
Shoji buried a 20-foot three-pointer to cut the UNC lead down to one possession and Leo tied it at 43 moments later with a basket and free throw at the 12:05 mark.
With 8:09 remaining UNC regained command, taking a 53-45 lead on a driving basket by Lauren Oosdyke.
SCU had trouble closing the gap, getting as close as five at 55-50 and 57-52 around the five-minute mark following points from Radanovich and Shoji. The Broncos again pulled within five with one minute remaining and a Shoji 3 made it 63-57 with 30 seconds left.
NOTES: It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools … Santa Clara used the same starting lineup as Friday (Shoji-Anderson-Fulps-Leo- Gipson) … UNC transitioned to Division I beginning in 2006-07 … UNC was 8-5 at home last season … the game was streamed live on BigSkyTV.com … fans can watch Friday's game at Colorado for a small fee or listen for free via CUBuffs.com.
Northern Colorado Holds Off Santa Clara Women, 65-57

Works Like Magic!I had never been able to get my hair perfectly straight like my hairdresser - that was until I purchased the Solia hair straightner.

Buy A SeduThis iron is okay if your hair is not too bad, but my hair is thick and super frizzy. With the Solia I did not get the sleek super thin look that I got with the Sedu. Also the somewhat okay job it did does not last throughout the day where the Sedu does. So spend the extra money on yourself and buy the Sedu it is worth it. I was just trying to save money with this one and well you get what you pay for.Mar 23, 2007Michelle / Texas

Good But Not The SameThis Solia flat iron is good but I have used a cheaper Jilbere for the past three years and found it to be just as good. Matter of fact, when straightening my hair (which is thick) it feels like the bars arent closing on my hair enough and my hair seems to slide around more than it did in my cheaper one. I liked that money was going to breast cancer awareness but the pink on the cord and the pink on the flat iron itself are two different shades. Not so pretty - not that it matters really but it doesnt seem like a $90 product. When this one dies Ill go back to the Jilbere flat iron.Mar 23, 2007Briggs / Temple, TX

Elated!I just received it in the mail after ordering the iron and the Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost on Tuesday. Keep in mind, I chose the free shipping (UPS Ground, 4-6 days.) It arrived in two days! Along with it came a heat-proof pad/bag and a cosmetics bag. The heat-proof pad/bag is very useful as it doesnt leave heated marks on surfaces and it also makes it easy to carry the Solia around.I loved my friends Chi and wanted to get one, yet my mother doesnt value beauty very much so she wouldnt allow me too spend over $100 on it. This iron, although it has slight pulling at the ends, glides smoothly, similarly to the way a Chi does. The plates are very smooth and well-built, meaning I can close in on my hair well.It also leaves my hair feeling silky to the touch, and not fried. It takes away puffiness yet leaves natural volume. I use it on the highest setting (450) because I have relatively straight hair, yet massive amounts of it, in addition the fact that it has a natural wave that just refuses to come out!My recently cut side-bangs are straightened perfectly by putting it on the lowest heat setting. For people who have problems straightening their ends, section your hair into two separate parts (on each side of your head), pull the sections into loose ponytails, and simply glide over the ends, maybe, 5 times. Your ends will be straight yet not thin and breaking.I am VERY happy with this iron, its reasonable yet it certainly outperforms its price and many of its competitors.I achieved these results after using John Frieda Straight Shampoo and Conditioner, Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost, blowdrying each side for 15 minutes, reapplying a little more Boost, and then straightening each side for 5 minutes. The whole process took a little under an hour and was well worth it.My previous iron, a Babyliss Tourmaline straightener, snagged my hair way too much, as well as having an impractical design. It fell apart on Tuesday morning, and ever since then I have had to deal with a $35 drug-store Ceramic Tools straightener, which in the timespan of two days, single-handledly killed my ends and gave my hair a strange smokey smell. I even saw the proteins from my hair (little white dots) on my hair! It was disgusting! I went from cheapo-deapo to luxury in a matter of two days and $60 more dollars.Mar 22, 2007Leetal / New York

Great!I bought this straightener about a month ago and I love it! Before this I had a cheap straightener that used to take ours to get CLOSE to straight. I only spend about 10-15 minutes straightening my hair now and its actually straight. My mom has long thick curly hair and it really works on her hair. I was even impressed with how fast I received it. If you want a good straightener order this one!Mar 21, 2007Sharon / AZHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Long Hair

Flat IronThis flat iron is so easy to use. I had never used a flat iron before but after reading the reviews I knew this would be the one I wanted. It took very little practice to get the hang of how to use it. I absolutely love it. I also made a believer out of my aunt. The shine I get is fantastic. It has also cut down the time on how long it takes to do my hair in the morning.Mar 21, 2007Gailann

Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation on the End of Combat Operations in Iraq
Oval Office
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I'd like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home.
I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We've now been through nearly a decade of war. We've endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we're trying to build for our nation — a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity — may seem beyond our reach.
But this milestone should serve as a reminder to all Americans that the future is ours to shape if we move forward with confidence and commitment. It should also serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century.
From this desk, seven and a half years ago, President Bush announced the beginning of military operations in Iraq. Much has changed since that night. A war to disarm a state became a fight against an insurgency. Terrorism and sectarian warfare threatened to tear Iraq apart. Thousands of Americans gave their lives; tens of thousands have been wounded. Our relations abroad were strained. Our unity at home was tested.
These are the rough waters encountered during the course of one of America's longest wars. Yet there has been one constant amidst these shifting tides. At every turn, America's men and women in uniform have served with courage and resolve. As Commander-in-Chief, I am incredibly proud of their service. And like all Americans, I'm awed by their sacrifice, and by the sacrifices of their families.
The Americans who have served in Iraq completed every mission they were given. They defeated a regime that had terrorized its people. Together with Iraqis and coalition partners who made huge sacrifices of their own, our troops fought block by block to help Iraq seize the chance for a better future. They shifted tactics to protect the Iraqi people, trained Iraqi Security Forces, and took out terrorist leaders. Because of our troops and civilians — and because of the resilience of the Iraqi people — Iraq has the opportunity to embrace a new destiny, even though many challenges remain.
So tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country.

The smoky eye is such a classic look and we love that it's easy to do in varying shades, so we can go dramatic for evenings out, or do the same look in a more neutral palate for a sharp, office appropriate look. Cover Girl has made this look a snap with their new Smoky Shadow Blast Shadow Sticks ($8). Each small tube contains two complimentary cream colors - one to use all over your lid, and the other to use as a liner and in your crease. The colors glide on easily and are pretty sheer, so you can layer for a deeper color or do just one quick swipe for a light hint of shimmer. (Psst - they're available online now, but won't be in stores until January, so snag 'em now and be ahead of the game.)
I've tried samples I got through my job of these and although they DO glide on smooth and easy...they also wipe away very easily. Another issue I've had with them is pretty much at least one of the colors breaks and falls out of the tube, this has happened on difference ones I have. They also clump up and crease if you have any wrinkles in your eyelids, mine clumped up where my crease is when my eyes were open :\ I might keep using them, but I wouldn't pay $8 for them.
Your atrilce was excellent and erudite.

Drew Carey Is No Bob Barker
Something seemed off. Most of it looked the same. The crowd; Those yellow name tags; It all even sounded like another day on the set of CBS Studios. I started to wonder if I'd already missed out on the yodelling mountain climber.
Just as my coffee finished brewing, something caught my eyes that took my hangover to a whole new level. Sure, the tiny microphone was familiar... and that suit was the same... but that sure as fuck wasn't Bob Barker mini-putting away on Hole-In-One-Or-Two.
I then remembered hearing about how Drew Carey would be taking over hosting duties after The Barkman retired. I just never thought I'd be alive to actually see it.
I was stunned.
I had lost all feeling and couldn't move. Try as I might, I couldn't even blink.
I soon discovered that my frozen state was due to Drew Carey's horribly boring attempt at hosting a gameshow. Could anyone be any more monotone?
Call me prejudiced. After all, I never liked The Drew Carey Show. I cringed when he took over as host of Whose Line Is It Anyway? from Clive Anderson. And I won't even watch that one episode of Lois & Clark with him in it. Drew Carey just looks like he needs a punch in the face. Well, I shouldn't say that. I'm sure he's a really good guy, and a nice person, and maybe he even has a really cute kitten. I don't know.
I just allofasudden really miss the ladies man that was Bob Barker. Remember when he beat up Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore? Remember when he made all those putts in the aforementioned Hole-In-One-Or-Two? Remember that time he found the cure for AIDS? Okay, so that last one didn't really happen, but fuck, if he would've stayed on The Price Is Right for just one more season it might've happened. We can only dream now.
I heard that John Stamos was in the running for The Price Is Right gig. Now that would've been truly awesome.

Saber styles of lightsabers
Hi all!
I was trying to modify a backhand saber and I met some problems. Is it possible to make a saber with fixed styles? I mean: if in the sab file I write "saberStyle desann", when I play with that saber I can use only that style. So, is it possible to use only two or three or more style? (ex. staff, desann and tavion)
Many thanks...
You can use the commands 'saberstyleforbbiden' and 'saberstylelearned' to set what styles to use. If you want a saber to use staff, Tavion, and Desann it would look like this:
saberstylelearned staff
saberstylelearned Tavion
saberstylelearned Desann
saberstyleforbidden fast
saberstyleforbidden medium
saberstyleforbidden strong
saberstyleforbidden dual
One major problem will be that a backhand saber will remain backwards when you try to use tavion and desann styles. It will not turn around. I am working on a saber mod that will flip the saber around from backhand to regular when your character attacks with a single saber style. This means two things however: 1) the saber will not work with the staff attacks the same way the other backhand sabers do and 2) I have to make new run and walk forward and back animations or else the character flips the saber around when he moves. I made these animations and got them in game with no problems, but I want to redo them since they did not look too much like the SA. I like them but the people who would use them want to look like the SA.
interesting...unfortunatly I've done the mod before reading this, so sad...But I did a mess because I switch all the animations of the regular styles with the tavion, desann and staff ones...it's nice. Also I did the stances and they looks nice...I have to do new running animations too. What do you use? I use dragon...
So you switched all the single saber swings with tavion, desann, and staff swings? I imagine that did take awhile.
I'm using Dragon to do all my animations too.
If you make a stance it is possible to start from the default pose, I did that for my Secret Apprentice stance, but I would recommend loading up a stance from JA and editing it to what you want. That way you don't have to deal with correctly position the feet on the floor. That's what I do for my run animations. I keep the same leg animations and just edit the torso to what I want.
Yes it took awhile but it was the only idea I had...but it was easy with cut/copy/paste and find/replace. The dirty job was made by notepad :D
How do you load ja animations? Would you like see my stances of starkiller? I would like to see yours
Here is a guide made by HeavyMetalGungan that he posted on the filefront forums. The first part deals with getting animations in game and the second deals with switching the dragon glm with JA's glm.
This SA stance is for regular, non backhand sabers.
This is the same stance for backhand sabers. Available here http://jediknight3.filefront.com/fil...ndbeta05;95994
The SA run for regular sabers.
The original JK and MotS run.
The Battlefront run.
Yeah go ahead and show off your Starkiller stance, I would like to see how yours turns out.
Very nice, good job. Do you have the dragon cfg files for your battlefront and SA running anim? If you agree I will put them in my mod...Here my stances (in picture you don't see but stances are complete with breathing animations and the first with the idle sequence fixed with mine)
fast (tavion anims) and medium (desann anims) styles
strong style (staff anims)
Hey those are really, really good! I mean it, those are awesome! I'll give you the files after I do a release with them. I want to put them out first before I give them out. Those stances are going to work great with the run animations. If you don't want to wait on my runs you could load up the JA runs and edit them. That's how I made mine.
Thanks, I appreciate. I'm waiting for your runs, they looks perfect. In the meantime I'm going to try to make two run anims on my own...
Could you tell me how to upload files to jk3files.com? If you agree, we upload them when they will be done.
Good luck on the runs. They are not hard to make, just tedious and time consuming. Stick with them and you should have no problems. And don't be afraid to start over a time or two. Oh one more thing, save often, that way you can go back and load up a previous version instead of starting over.
On jk3files there is a submit button on the left menu. It is under the heading 'The Files.' Once you upload a file it will take about a week before it will be up.
I need to finish two more backhand stances before I upload the backhand run. After that I give you the cfg file.
Ok thanks for the advice...I'm looking forward to your anims.
Maybe togheter we could do a force unleashed little mod, I have some ideas that are very nice...
I wouldn't mind putting some stuff together for a little mod, but I don't want to try and do anything major. Nothing like make a new saber attack style or anything. Truthfully, I don't like the BH style all that much, I'm just making it for the community and practice. It's fun to make but I prefer to work on other animations.
Updating my little mod...
I was wondering if there's a way to set different running anim for each saber style. You (reader) may ask: why?:confused: The answer is quite simple:D: as you can see by scrolling up the page, I've made two stances (standard and backhanded (BH) ), but I've also made a BH running anim. So I was asking because my running anim sucks with the standard stance :xp:...so, is there a way to
set an anim for the BH style (red style)
and set a different anim for the standard style (blu/yellow)?
Unfortunately no. I looked for this too a while back and the single sabers all use the same run, but the duals and staff have their own run. For the FU stance mini-mod I'm making I was going to replace all the standard stances with bh stances as well as the staff. I'm not sure if I want to do anything with the duals yet.
mmmm....I suspectet that sigh...what about coding? I believe it could be possible with coding:), unfortunately I don't know how to code:(...do you? Otherwise I could open a topic in the coding section and ask there....
It should be possible in MP to code different runs with the different saber styles, but not SP. If the SP source code is released this is on my to do list. Right now I only know a little BASIC and COG (from JK). I learned cog just by looking at what others did, so that's how I plan to learn coding later. I also have some c++ books to refer to. You could still open a thread and see if anybody could help you if your ok for the animations being MP only. I'm making my mini mod mainly for SP, because that is what I play.

UPDATE: I am heartbroken to report that Gabe was euthanized last night at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter. Rest in peace Gabe. We are devastated your life was cut short because your owner was irresponsible.
Gabe is an absolute charmer; he's friendly and gentle with children, but the very essentials desired most by families as they search for the perfect dog didn't amount to a hill of beans for another young, healthy dog surrendered at the high kill San Bernardino City Animal Shelter late last week.
When a volunteer saw Gabe's owner ready to hand over the dog's leash to the receptionist at the shelter, she explained to Gabe's owner that surrendered dogs can be euthanized at any time. When questioned why Gabe was being turned in, the owner simply stated the dog had grown too big for his small apartment.
"Walk him more often and take him out to the park for exercise and make him tired, " the volunteer suggested, but the moment she thought Gabe's owner might have reconsidered, the dog received a final pat on the head and the man was gone. Gabe just stared - completely unaware that the human he loved stepped out of his life without a shred of remorse.
And now Gabe, the beautiful tan and white pit bull mix who was surrendered on June 28 sits alone in his kennel. His roommate, Hercules, was rescued; he was another beautiful dog dumped by his family, but now all that has changed.
Read the story about Hercules by clicking here.
Click here for Gabe's PetHarbor listing.
Click here for Gabe's Facebook thread helping to raise pledges for a qualified rescue organization.
A volunteer for the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter says this about Gabe:
Cari NO Bsl Ennis: "He is a charmer! Loves everyone and dog friendly. Was kenneled with Hercules who got rescued. Kid friendly too!"
For more information about Gabe, call San Bernardino City Animal Control at (909) 384-1304
Ask for information about animal ID number A468284.
Please share Gabe's story with your friends, family and coworkers. It only takes a few moments to send this article over to someone else who just be the perfect family to fill the hole in Gabe's heart. Tragically, the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter is a high kill facility, and there are no promises a dog will see the morning sun.

Ex-Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick Convicted of Corruption
By Matthew Dolan
DETROIT—A federal jury convicted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on Monday of racketeering conspiracy, capping years of investigation into an administration described by prosecutors as deeply corrupt.
The trial included five months of court testimony and evidence, followed by two weeks of jury deliberation.
Kilpatrick, 42 years old, was convicted on 24 of 30 counts related to using the power of his office to enrich himself and his associates. The most serious charge carries as long as 20 years in prison.
His former top associate, Bobby Ferguson, was convicted on nine of 11 counts. But Mr. Kilpatrick's father, Bernard, largely escaped the full force of the original indictment, with a single conviction on a tax charge. There was no verdict for Bernard Kilpatrick on the racketeering charge, government officials said.
Federal prosecutors alleged that Kilpatrick, who was elected to two terms before resigning, cashed in on the power of his office by accepting bribes and helping associates extort money from businesses seeking municipal contracts. They presented as evidence millions of dollars worth of hidden cash, checks and certificates of deposit uncovered in the walls of Mr. Ferguson's homes and offices by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Defense attorneys argued at trial that their clients were innocent and that the government misconstrued legitimate political activity as crimes.

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) acquired exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, develop, and commercialize Japan-based Oncolys BioPharma's festinavir, a once-a-day, orally available nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) in Phase II development for HIV. Festinavir was licensed to Oncolys in 2006 from Yale University.
Oncolys may receive up to $286 million including up-front, development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments. Oncolys is also eligible to receive tiered royalties on the worldwide product sales.
According to BMS, the profile of festinavir offers the possibility of improvement in the safety of long-term HIV treatment. "For many years I have been working for the development of medicines in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and I'm convinced that festinavir has the possibility to be a potent and effective NRTI with a promising resistance profile. Also festinavir's once-daily dosage is essential for treating HIV patients worldwide," added Yasuo Urata, president and CEO of Oncolys BioPharma.

Retiree Medical Insurance
The Ohio Dental Association recognizes the importance of providing quality health insurance to pay the costs Medicare does not cover. As a result, we are pleased to make this Retiree Medical Insurance Plan available to you.
The Retiree Medical Insurance Plan, offered by Ohio Dental Association, is underwritten by Monumental Life Insurance Company, Cedar Rapids, IA. This plan is offered to all retirees and spouses, however if you are covered by other insurance, you may need to evaluate the coverage under each plan to determine which is the best for you.
This plan is designed to help pay the costs that Medicare does not cover. It pays many of the co-insurance amounts (such as the Medicare Part A deductible), reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
When you select the Retiree Medical Plan, you can be assured of:
- Freedom of Choice. You have the freedom to choose your own doctors, hospital or clinic anywhere in the United States.
- Guaranteed Acceptance. You are guaranteed coverage regardless of your present or past health condition if you are enrolled in Medicare Parts A & B.
- Pre-Existing Conditions Credit Given For Prior Coverage. If you were insured for six months or more by another carrier immediately before enrollment in the Retiree Medical Insurance Plan, there is no pre-existing conditions exclusion if satisfied for similar benefits under the replaced coverage. For retirees who enroll after first becoming eligible for the Retiree Medical Insurance Plan and who did not have medical insurance coverage during the six-month period preceding enrollment in the Retiree Medical Insurance Plan, you will be subject to the pre-existing conditions exclusion. A pre-existing condition is any condition for which you were treated within the six-month period before enrollment. These conditions will be excluded from coverage for a period of six consecutive months after enrollment.
Medicare (Part D) prescription drug insurance
Many say the difficulty in navigating the new Part D benefit lies in finding out if your particular plan covers the medication you need. Fortunately, we have a new service that can help.
Transamerica's Part D Choice agents will ask you:
- Your pharmacy of choice.
- A list of your medications, quantities and dosages.
- About your preference for lowest monthly cost, lowest out-of-pocket cost, no deductible plan, etc.
You will then receive pricing for the plans, information on covered drugs, and enrollment assistance.
ODASC representatives can direct you to experts with the tools needed to provide you with more information, plan comparisons and rates. Please call ODASC at (800) 282-1526.
Contact your ODASC representative by calling (800) 282-1526 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am struggling with following problem. Consider 2A class in Co1 having 819*759*75 elements. Each element a from 2A have two representatives in Co0. Element a corresponds to E8 sublattice in Leech defined as {v: av=-v} where I call by a also proper preimage in Co0. Now the opposite having E8 sublattice L in Leech I can find element a(L) in 2A class.
My goal is to find relation between Order(ab) for a,b in 2A and corresponding geometry of two E8 sublattices. The Order(ab) can be 2,3,4,5,6.
Take any other sporadic group g and certain conjugacy class cg of order 2 elements. Is it known possible values of Order(ab) for a,b in cg ? Can this help to connect some "lattice" to the group g ?
Regards, Marek

A Bitcoin heist resulted in hackers looting over $350 million in the modern virtual currency, even leading to a temporary cyber exchange shutdown for Mt. Gox. Due to a number of recent issues surrounding the security and validity of Bitcoin in past months, the latest massive thefts have only left overall Bitcoin prices plummeting even further this week. The Inquisitr reports this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, that the online threat was likely achieved using computer viruses to infect and attack personnel computers that hold private money or off-limits information.
In addition to a big Bitcoin crash just earlier this Feb., this Bitcoin heist is the priciest looting in recent memory, with an estimated $350 million or more taken in a cyber theft. It is believed that expert hackers used complex viruses, called botnets, to directly infect officials' and buyers' computers to steal the virtual currency.
One such botnet group, commonly referred to as simply Pony, was able to successfully steal the basic email and even login credentials for over 500,000 Bitcoin users. Due to such a tremendous amount of money being breached, the cyber Bitcoin Mt. Gox exchange was even shut down for a brief while.
However, it wasn't just this recent Bitcoin heist — or other virtual currency threat companies like FeatherCoin or LiteCoin — that were struck by the massive hack. Trustwave, a nationally known security firm, announces this week that the cyber looting was able to be accomplished simply due to the "virtual nature" of this modern currency.
"Bitcoins are stored in virtual wallets, which are essentially pairs of private and public keys. Stealing Bitcoins and exchanging them for another currency, even a regulated one such as US dollars, is much easier than stealing money from a bank."
Yet the previously mentioned Pony botnet by hackers was little more than a drop in the bucket to the latest Bitcoin heist. This recent attack is believed to amount to roughly $350 million from hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin "money" stolen from online accounts, leading to a big drop in sales and stocks. According to one financial expert in the press release, the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange is "the worst-run business with the least amount of safety for its users in the history of the world … The reality is that Mt. Gox can go bankrupt at any moment, and certainly deserves to as a company."
A Silk Road hack just last year marks another Bitcoin heist that put the virtual currency's regard and its Mt. Gox exchange site in further poor repute. That looting by hackers resulted in roughly $2.7 million being stolen. The report concludes that this latest cyber theft might act as a way for people to truly consider where they are keeping their money and how safe it is, physically or otherwise.
Nonetheless, Bitcoin wallet-makers say that the cyber exchange is a profitable and secure one, despite the brief shutdown:
"This tragic violation of the trust of users of Mt. Gox was the result of one company's abhorrent actions and does not reflect the resilience or value of bitcoin and the digital currency industry. There are hundreds of trustworthy and responsible companies involved in bitcoin."

Our Position Is Informed. We Stand A Chance
January 8, 2014 | Volume 101 / Number 2
Another hunting season is behind us. Once again, our family handed out materials detailing some of the political challenges facing citizens of Valley and Phillips counties. The ongoing threat of unfenced, state-owned bison figured prominently. Some of you will recall that one of our hunters last year took one look at our brochures and pamphlets, and then dug out his wallet to finance the next round of printing.
Responses were similar this year. One set of hunters insisted that Jason and I accept a generous stipend to attend the Fish Wildlife and Parks meeting in Lewistown and speak out on behalf of the hunters and landowners who do not want to see the state abandon bison in the Breaks. That meeting inspired me to put together a letter listing the 15 reasons hunters had given me for opposing FWP's plan and adding it to my set of handouts.
One group stopped as they were leaving to say thanks and that they'd had a fine hunt, and then one man among them said, "But do you have any more of those 'Reasons Hunters Don't Want Loose Bison in the Breaks' letters? My wife hunts, and my son will want one, and I've got this friend..." One set of hunters checked the boxes for all 15 reasons and then decorated the reasons they thought most important with stars and exclamation points.
The landowners who I talk to are overwhelmed by how disastrous the unfenced bison proposal will be ecologically and for the people who live here, and yet we continue to hear that the hunters support it. Over and over, I hear the question, "How can the hunters not realize what this will do to the land and wildlife? Are the hunters really that naïve?" The short answers are "they do" and "no." Misinformation can be hard to sustain in this era of rapid communication. If those of us who know the Breaks continue to communicate with each other and continue to stand firm for our communities – human, plant, and animal – we stand a chance of preserving what we all treasure.

Understanding Heat-Related Illness -- the Basics
Prolonged or intense exposure to hot temperatures can cause heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke (also known as sun stroke). As your body works to cool itself under extreme or prolonged heat, blood rushes to the surface of your skin. As a result, less blood reaches your brain, muscles, and other organs. This can interfere with both your physical strength and your mental capacity, leading, in some cases, to serious danger. By reducing excessive exposure to...

Former Tiger Tennis Player Wins Professional Doubles Crown
Dec. 14, 2012
MEMPHIS - - Former University of Memphis men's tennis player Amrit Narasimhan won his first professional doubles title in the India F16 Futures event in Dharwad, India, Sunday. It was the second doubles final of his professional career, and his first professional career doubles title.
Narasimhan played at Memphis from 2006-2008 and was the C-USA Newcomer of the Year in 2007. He was named to the C-USA All-Conference second team that same season after sporting a 12-5 record, including a 7-4 mark at No. 1 singles. Narasimhan went pro in September of 2010, appearing in his first professional doubles final at the Guatemala F1 event in February of 2012. He appeared in three more doubles quarterfinals through this past spring before an injury forced him off the court. He stepped back on the court in the India F15 event at the beginning of this month, again advancing to the quarterfinals of the doubles draw when teamed with Michael Shabaz, the former University of Virginia player who won the 2009 NCAA men's doubles championship. Shabaz is currently the No. 717 ranked singles player in the world.
Narasimhan and Shabaz also paired together for the finals appearance at the Guatamala F1 event in February of 2012, and, after advancing to the quarterfinals of the F15 event in Davanagere, India to start December, the duo moved on to the F16 event in Dharwad last week. They did not drop a set en route the doubles final match, but split the first two sets of the final, 6-4, 3-6 to force a tiebreak. The duo prevailed 10-7 in the tiebreak to claim the doubles crown.
The win gives Narasimhan a doubles point on the professional tour, ranking him 1,103 in the world in doubles.
The professional tennis career has sent the former Tiger all over the world. He has played in events in Mexico, China, Indonesia, Ecuador, Canada, Guatemala, Thailand, Guam, Burundi, Rwanda, India and the U.S. A resident of Houston, Texas, Narasimhan, was one of Memphis head coach Paul Goebel's first recruits at the University of Memphis. Goebel signed Narasimhan and former Tyler Junior College teammate Benedikt Fischer to the team and the duo capped their respective Memphis careers as a pair of the program's most-decorated graduates. Narasimhan was nationally-ranked in singles at Memphis, and Fischer was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-America second team honoree, the first men's tennis player to ever earn the honor.
Coach Goebel's 2012-13 roster will kick off its spring season with another challenging schedule, hosting Michigan State in the opening match on Jan. 18th at 6 p.m. at The Racquet Club of Memphis.

Feb. 19, 2010
February 15, 2010
Hello everybody -
First, I would like to introduce myself to the blogging world. I am Brian Smith, and I am a senior pitcher. I am not your prototypical senior though, I am a rare sixth-year senior. In the fall of 2004, Ben Etcheverry, Cody Jacobson, and Jamison Wells (freshman Huskies in 2010) were all entering eighth grade. I was entering college! I was experiencing G. Wolfe making a name for himself across the country before those boys had experienced a high school football game yet! As I say that, those three guys are now teammates of mine. They keep me young.
After my freshman year, I never expected to play college baseball with anyone born in the 90s. Plans changed during my sophomore season, and I got hit with the injury bug. A severe case of it, too. I had bone spurs removed in April of 2007, and a little more than a year later, I had Tommy John Surgery in July of 2008. After a long process of rehabbing, graduating, applying for Graduate School (got accepted into NIU's Sport Management program, and had an awesome first semester) and applications with the NCAA to make sure I can receive this sixth year...
We are entering Week One of a long season this Thursday, when we leave for Tempe, Ariz. The team has been getting the itch to get this season underway. Over the past few weeks, we have had quite a few morning practices, ranging from 5:30 to 6 am start times. Luckily for us, we have not had any 5:15 am starts, like we have in the past, because those are not pretty. With the facilities that we have available to us, I would have to say that we have prepared ourselves better than ever. I am always interested to see how it transfers from the field turf at the DeKalb Rec Center to an actual playing surface like Arizona State's Winkles Field - Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark (I think I got that right). Our pitching rotation is getting finalized this weekend, and it will be nice to see all of us back on dirt in comfortable weather. With our adrenaline running, our pitchers have a big task ahead of them. If we allow ourselves to stay relaxed and stay within our own game, we will give our guys the best chance to win. Arizona State is a national power every year for a reason, we have to respect them and play our game.
The coaching staff has done a great job getting themselves prepared, too. Coach Mathey has taken steps to get inside the heads of his players. He established early in the fall a "Leadership Council," which allowed ten of us to read a book on leadership and each week bring something to the table to help us succeed as a program. My favorite session was when we discussed "Controlling the Controllables". Basically, allowing ourselves to not get caught up in the weather (which is always an issue when playing in the MAC), or in the umpires' business, things of that nature. We have the ability to control how we prepare ourselves mentally and physically for each game. We all learned a lot from the process, and I am sure he did as well.
I always see Coach Joslyn wearin' his helmet around the office giving signs to compliance ladies. Just like we have been preached our whole lives, practice makes perfect and Coach Joslyn wants to be the best third base coach in the league. That's how we know that the season is just around the corner. He's considered a wizard with the fungo bat as well.
A tip to NIU staff and employees of the Convocation Center: If you see someone about 6'1 165lbs (165lbs may be generous) with red hair walking around in NIU baseball attire - I know you have the immediate urge to say "Hey Brian" or "SAAC DADDY" (says Evans Adonis). Think twice, because the person I described is my older brother Jason. Jason has been our hitting coach for almost a year now. If you are not sure which one of us it is, which happens on a daily basis, a simple "Hey Smitty" works because then we can acknowledge you as if you knew exactly whom you were talking to. With that being said, I am challenging the NIU Staff to not get the two of us mixed up ANYMORE! Jason and I discuss these things quite often, so if you slip up, I will find out and I will post it.
I will keep everyone involved as much as possible in NIU baseball on and off the field throughout the season. I look forward to hearing from you as well. If you have any suggestions or comments about my posts feel free let me know.
Say your prayers and take your vitamins, and you will never go wrong.
Keep it real -
If you have any questions, comments or concerns for Brian, please e-mail Baseball SID Zach Peters (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Easy and To the Point April 5, 2011
Many textbooks are verbose and full of prose. This textbook is to the point. The textbook is packed full of information without the usual fluff. I really like how easy this textbook is to use. In the back of the textbook are chapter review cards that you can rip out. They are printed on heavier paper (think note cards). They are great for studying before the test or quiz. When you consider this textbook is about half the cost of most textbooks, this is really a great value. Get this book and quickly and easily learn management skills.

Knowing that gun legislation will probably not pass Congress, the Hipster god-king is planning on using Executive orders on gun laws.
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration's first definitive statements about its response to last month's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obama's task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.[….]"He said that this has been a real focus on the policy and that the politics of this issue, that a strategy on the politics of the issue hasn't been undertaken yet," Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. "He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.

By default, most ILISP commands are bound under the prefix key C-z. Unfortunately, these bindings predate the modern FSF Emacs keyspace policies, which stipulate that packages should use C-c as a prefix, and bind only control characters, digits, and a few specific punctuation chars under that prefix.
If you are already accustomed to the old ILISP bindings, don't worry -- we haven't changed the default. However, for new users who don't have old habits to unlearn, ILISP offers FSF-compliant bindings as an alternative to the default. To be compliant (and who wouldn't want to be compliant?), put this line in your `.emacs' or in the system-wide `default.el' file:
(setq ilisp-*use-fsf-compliant-keybindings* t)
This will cause the ILISP prefix key to be C-c, and also change some of the bindings underneath that prefix. After you do this, ILISP will be almost fully FSF-compliant; there are still a few bindings that technically violate the FSF policy, but we left them as they were because we judged that changing them would not have been an improvement.
Because the rest of this document was originally written for the old, default ILISP bindings, you'll need to make some mental translations if you choose FSF-compliance:
Where possible, the new bindings follow the above rules, but note that some exceptions were necessary. Most notably, the old C-c * bindings are all under C-c 8 now. The remaining exceptions are probably best discovered through regular use, as they tend to occur on obscure keys anyway. Remember that you can type C-h m at any time to see help on the current major mode, which will show (among other things) a list of all currently active keybindings.
