Blend of the fatty acid palmitic acid with several amino acids, including alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, lysine, proline, serine, and/or valine. Also known as pal-KTTKS. Theoretically, many peptides have cell-communicating ability and can help skin cells function in a more normal, healthy manner. Although the research is far from conclusive and formulary protocols need to be followed to ensure the peptide remains stable during use, this peptide may stimulate collagen production and encourage the production of intercellular matrix substances such as hyaluronic acid.

During her coaching career at East Carolina from 1978-84, Cathy Andruzzi made a great impact on the Lady Pirate basketball program. Andruzzi guided ECU to its first-ever AP Top 25 ranking and three postseason appearances in her six seasons at East Carolina. While with the Pirates, she amassed a 105-66 (.614) record, which ranked as second-most wins in Pirate history upon her departure. Under her guidance, the Lady Pirates reached the 1984 ECAC Championship game while, in 1983, Mary Denkler became the team's first-ever All-America selection.
Andruzzi pioneered a season ticket program that broke the school's previous attendance record for men's and women's basketball. Also during her stint at ECU, she broke new ground in the media industry, serving as creator, executive producer and on-air talent for The Cathy Andruzzi Show, the nation's first weekly women's basketball television and radio show.

When you are in a strange town traveling, sometimes you need to get a ride. The application Uber is used all the time to get pick ups but now people are thinking twice about the safety of doing it this way. On Thursday, NY Daily News shared the news of a CEO who was kidnapped by his driver and ended up in a high speed chase.
Ryan Simonetti, CEO of Convene, shared the news on Twitter first. He said, "Was just kidnapped by an @uber driver in DC, held against my will, and involved in a high speed chase across state lines with police #Crazy." He was taking what was supposed to be a very short ride but it didn't end up being that at all.
It all started when a taxi inspector started following them and the driver decided to run a red light to get away from him. Ryan described the scene saying "it was like an episode of 'Cops. I physically tried to force his leg to hit the brake. I ripped off his pant leg…. I said, 'Here's two options. You take this exit, or I'm going to knock the side of your head in. If we crash, we crash, but you're gonna kill us anyway.'"
The driver finally stopped and authorities were handling it. The entire case seems a bit strange, but it has everyone wondering if hiring a driver from Uber is a safe way to go. Back in June, an Uber driver was arrested for allegedly kidnapping a female passenger who was drunk. She was getting a ride home when she passed out and woke up later at a motel where the driver had taken her. This driver was charged with "kidnap for the purpose of sexual assault."

Disease Proof
Report: Cold Medicine and Babies Don't Mix
An infant with the sniffles might keep you up at night, but according to a new study giving them a shot of cold medicine can be a dangerous quick-fix. In fact, government research shows it could be deadly. Amanda Gardner of HealthDay News reports:
"Cold and cough medications, especially medications containing pseudoephedrine [a nasal decongestant], have never been shown to have any beneficial effect on children less than 2 years of age, yet they clearly can have significant harmful effects," said Dr. Michael Marcus, director of pediatric pulmonology, allergy and immunology at the Maimonides Infants & Children's Hospital in New York City.Remind me to thank my father for not giving me cold medicine when I was a baby—although I'm not sure putting a close pin on my nose was great parenting either.
"There are no studies to support the use of cold medicine in infants," said Dr. Gwen Wurm, director of community pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "The thing to keep in mind is that colds go away. Kids might benefit from a humidifier by the bed and saline nose drops, but this kind of loving care is all most kids need."

so glad you posted this! sometimes it's so hard to stick to my instincts when everyone else (from my in-laws to my friends) think cough medication AND antibiotics (can you believe some doctors still prescribe this w/o sufficient knowledge that the cold is bacterial in origin?) are the way to cure a cold.

Sage Professor Receives Champion of Hope Award
Dana Reinecke, chair and assistant professor of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at The Sage Colleges, is being honored with the Long Island-based ELIJA Foundation's 2011 Champion of Hope award. The ELIJA (an acronym for Empowering Long Island's Journey through Autism) Foundation strives to improve the quality of programs and services available to children with autism, by providing training on the most advanced treatment and educational strategies that maximize the potential of those affected by autism. Reinecke is recognized for her continued research, efforts and advocacy. Most recently she was instrumental in the creation of the Achieve Degree at Sage, a bachelor's degree program delivered online designed to meet the needs of students with autism spectrum disorders and other learning disabilities.
Reinecke has also been invited to present at numerous events this fall including the Iowa-based Heartland Area Education Agency's conference on "Building Partnerships to Promote Independence in Students with Autism," and the Hawaii Association for Behavior Analysis annual conference. As there are no ABA programs in Hawaii, educators rely on online programs, such as Sage's online master's degree in ABA and Autism, which Reinecke also heads.

Beat LA!
You can already hear the chanting, can't you? Not only are both our NHL and NBA squads headed for the playoffs, we get the luxury of watching them both square off against LA rivals. And both series will be available both locally and nationally.
The Sharks skate into their series with the Kings first, and to be honest, since they make the playoffs pretty much every year, you probably already know the drill. They've already taken Game 1 from the Kings; Game 2 from the Tank will be on Easter Sunday at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday's Game 3 from LA is also at 7:15, with Game 4 Thursday at 7:45 p.m. If necessary, Game 5 will be back in San Jose Saturday the 26th, Game 6 is in LA on the 28th, and a deciding Game 7 will be at SAP on the 30th.
All telecasts are on locally on CSN California, which means a few A's games will be shifted to CSN Plus. Outside the Bay Area and LA, CSN Cali's broadcasts will available on NBCSN at least through Game 5, though they'll be blacked out here. And by the way, that blackout includes streaming on NBC Sports' Live Extra.
Sharks radio is 102.1 on your FM dial.
As for the Warriors, for whom making the playoffs is still relatively new, they've hit the TV jackpot, so to speak, in their series against the Clippers. Both Saturday's Game 1 in LA and next Sunday's (the 27th) Game 4, in Oakland, will be on ABC, the first time the Dubs have ever been in a national broadcast on that network. Tip time for both is 12:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, Game 2, also at Staples Center, is Monday at 7:30 p.m., while Game 3 is Thursday at the same time here at Oracle, directly opposite the Sharks. Both are available locally on CSN Bay Area and nationally on TNT. Monday's Giants game will be bumped to CSN Plus.
If necessary, Game 5 in LA is slated for Tuesday the 29th, Game 6 is back here on Thursday, May 1st, and a deciding Game 7 in LA would be on Saturday the 3rd on TNT. All three will be on CSNBA if they occur.
On radio, Games 1, 3, and 6 will be heard on KNBR 680 AM. The others are on the other KNBR, 1050 AM, because on radio, the Giants take precedence.
Still, two tips for the Dubs on channel 7. Not too bad. Now they just need to follow the Sharks' lead and...
Beat LA!
NHL Playoffs: Sharks vs. Kings
The Sharks have taken Game 1 from the LA Kings in their best-of-7 round 1 series.
Sharks vs. Kings
This brawl is available locally on CSN California and nationally on NBCSN.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors have made the playoffs for the second year in a row.
NBA Playoffs: Warriors vs. Clippers
Games 1 and 4 of their series against the Clippers will air nationally on ABC, channel 7 locally.
NBA Playoffs: Clippers vs. Warriors
Other tips will be available locally on CSN Bay Area, with Games 2, 3, and, if necessary, 7 nationally on TNT.

In conversation with jimmy cobb (part one)
by Ralph A. Miriello
Jimmy Cobb is the last surviving participant on the most celebrated jazz recording of the last half century, Kind of Blue. But a single CD, no matter how illustrious, can barely hint at the legacy of this great artist, who resume includes collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, Wes Montgomery, Sarah Vaughan, Clark Terry, Kenny Burrell and many other jazz legends. Cobb's work with Miles also found him on Sketches of Spain, Porgy and Bess, Someday My Prince Will Come and Live at Carnegie Hall, among others classic dates. Below the drummer, joined by his wife Eleana Tee, sits down with jazz.com's Ralph Miriello, in the first installment of a comprehensive interview.
You started playing professionally in your hometown of Washington D.C. You played with Earl Bostic, Billie Holiday and others. How did you get your start?
Jimmy Cobb
Earl Bostic was after I left D.C. That was the band that I went on the road with, but the rest of those people that you mentioned are true. When I first started to play I played with a few guys that lived there, like Leo Parker, Frank Wess. There was a saxophonist that was around, he was about my age, a little older, his name was Rick Henderson and he was quite a musician. He use to have little bands in the time and I had occasion to work with a pianist…who was with Billie Holiday, his name was Carl Drinkard. I had the opportunity to work with Charlie Rouse who taught me all my bebop.
In D.C. I played in most of the little clubs that were there. I played in a place called the Caverns, later it was called the Bohemian Cavern. It was a place that was downstairs in the basement but on the inside it looked like a cave…. That was the place that they used to bring small shows into town. The lady that was running the club was Cab Calloway's sister, Blanche Calloway, she wound up being manager for Ruth Brown, so she brought her in to sing and I had the opportunity to play with Ruth Brown when she first came from Virginia.
There was a great piano player, he used to play with Billy Eckstine his name was Johnny Malachi. There was another great saxophone player named Buck Hill who …actually [he] was the guy that I played my first gig that we actually got paid for. I got five dollars! The gig was…in my grandfather's tobacco barn, which was 38 miles south of Washington, D.C… He had a little spread down there and during the season he would raise tobacco, then cut it and hang it in the barn to dry. On Saturdays they would [get together] and play baseball and then at night they would all bring some food and go in the barn and have a little hoedown, I guess you would call it. That was the first time I played with Buck Hill and a friend I went to school with down there. His name was Ellsworth Gibson, he was a piano player…
Why did you choose to play the drums and who were your major influences?
In the ghetto, you know you walk through the streets, you know you hear all kinds of music. I was fortunate to have had most of the jazz records. I accumulated them because I had a paper route … two or three blocks from my house. There was one woman in particular that knew I liked music and so she used to buy me the latest albums…like Artie Shaw and the Grammercy Five, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, you know all the big time records…big band records. It was all the big bands at the time. This was in the nineteen forties. She used to lay all the big band things on me.
When I first got interested [in the drums] ….it was Max Roach, Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey. Art Blakey first because I used to sit and listen to Billy Eckstine big band records and Art Blakey was the drummer, so that is why I say… that was a good time for the music. Everyone who got popular in jazz music after that was probably in that band or in Earl Hines' band. Earl Hines had Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughn in his band [at the time] so when Billy started his band he took Sarah, who was a piano player, when Johnny [Malachi] wasn't doing it.
But the drummers who most influenced you at the time?
It was Max, Buddy Rich there was a lot of guys playing back then Sid Catlett, Cozy Cole, Shadow Wilson. I was listening to everybody. There use to be a lot of music would come through our town. They had variety shows that had different acts and I had an opportunity to see a lot of people. You watch them and you pick up things by seeing how they do things.
You weren't formally trained musically were you?
I had one teacher who was the youngest percussionist of the National Symphony Orchestra at the time, his name was Jack Dennett we met at the time and I asked him if he would give me snare drum lessons and he said he would so we did that for a while. He lasted for a short while …and the rest I picked up from watching and playing.
What was it like to play behind "Lady Day" and was she in her prime when you played with her?
Yes she was in her prime. She had been through a few things, …In New York at the time you couldn't get a cabaret card if you had anything with the law so she had been through that cycle, but she was on the other side of that when I played with her. The reason I played with her, speaking of Carl Drinkard, he was her pianist, and he was going to college then and he had this band and we used to do all the gigs we could do so he could subsidize his college [expenses]. So when she came to town he had [our] trio work for her. We worked two weeks in a pretty nice club, it was called Blue Mirror, it was downtown on 14th street in Washington. They used to hire all the big time acts.
How was it working behind somebody as like [as famous as] Billie?
She was great. She sang all the tunes that I knew already, so it wasn't hard. It was nice. Then I had an opportunity to play with Pearl Bailey who was living in the area at the time. I think I played one gig with her.
You seem to have been in the right place at the right time throughout your prodigious career. Did you consciously position yourself to be around the action in the jazz circle or was it pure fortune?
Fortunately yeah. I used to go where things were happening, you know, I used to like the music so anytime somebody came in town I would go check 'em out. I met Roy Haynes like that. I used to come and watch him play with Lester Young and then he came with another band that was from Boston, the first time I saw him… Buddy Rich ,Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson I saw them all.
You worked several years with Dinah Washington and one report I read said you were married to the mercurial singer for a time. Is this true? When was this and what is it like to play behind such a popular female jazz vocalists?
Yeah it was an experience. I met Dinah… the first band that I went on the road with was Earl Bostic. He was a very great saxophone player, under rated, the musicians knew about it but you know the general public didn't know he was as good as he was. He made a few records and he got kind of popular. .. I met him [through] a friend of mine-- Keeter Betts, a bass player from Port Chester, New York. [Keeter] used to come to our city and used to work at a place two or three weeks at a time. So we got to be friends. He went out of town and came back and told me that Earl needed a drummer… so he asked me if I wanted to go on the road with the band. I said of course. We met up right here [in New York] at 125th street and St. Nicholas Avenue -- the first gig I met with them. Getting back to Dinah…they were traveling like [a double bill] Dinah Washington and the Earl Bostic Band that was the package. When Dinah sang she only carried a piano player and the piano player was Wynton Kelly so when she sang Wynton Kelly, Keeter Betts and myself played behind her as her trio.
We [Dinah and I] got to be sociable... I think she just put out in the paper that we were married, it really wasn't legal, we never went to the legal thing. But that was what it had to be because her mother wasn't going to let me stay in the house.
So it was like a marriage of convenience?
That's right. [Jimmy laughs heartily.] Her mother was a strict woman.
Did her commercial success dampen her creative potential?
No, I think what happened to Dinah is that Dinah strained her voice like Frank Sinatra did once. When she went to see the doctor about it he told her to take off like maybe a couple of months… to give her vocal chords a chance to rest and heal. She couldn't do that because she was in such a monetary crush at the time that she couldn't stop. So singing through that thing kind of damaged her voice. At the end of her life she wasn't sounding as good…like when we first met she had a really strong voice. She was piano player….and she came up in the Baptist Church. Her mother kept her in the church a lot so she used to sing and play piano for the church.
[She turned commercial] to make money that's the same [way] that Earl Bostic had to play the things that he played to make money. He just couldn't show his dexterity on the horn because people weren't buying that. They were buying people walking on the bar playing one B flat note honking …
I read somewhere that even John[Coltrane] did that once and someone came in and saw up on the bar and he ran out.
Yeah and he said don't tell nobody you saw me. But that was the atmosphere at the time. If you didn't do that the guys wouldn't hire you.
Can you clear up the controversy about how Ruth Jones got her stage name of Dinah Washington?
I think Lionel Hampton told her she had to change it, either Lionel or Gladys, Lionel's wife.
You are certainly known as a great accompanist. How did this style of drumming develop especially in light of some of the more flashy drummers of your era?
Well I don't know. The first job I got was with Earl Bostic and he played, what they called back then, rhythm and blues. I played with Dinah, when she played [and] I had to play a certain way with her, which was mostly with brushes, a little softer thing. I got used to having to do that so it got to be part of my shtick, I guess.
You have performed with some of the most talented jazz vocalists in your era, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Pearl Bailey and Sarah Vaughan to name a few. What do you enjoy most about playing with great vocalists?
It is just a good felling playing with a great vocalist. It helps your playing too because if you know a song and you know the lyrics, you know all of that is a plus instead of just sitting there and not knowing what is going on. If you know the lyrics there might be certain hits you can put in with the words that are coming up. That is always a plus. I like singers anyway. I love the way Dinah sings, I loved the way Sass [Sarah Vaughan] sings. That was goose bumps every night. You know Dinah could shout. She could get into the Baptist thing and make you want to move. I don't think her mother wanted her to do that [except in church]. Her mother was a strict lady.
Who is your favorite vocalist and did you play behind any famous male singers?
No, it has mostly been with the ladies. In recent years I made a record with Grady Tate. I had a chance to play behind Joe Williams once at a golf tournament once. Lady Day, Dinah, Sarah all of them later I had some gigs with Nancy Wilson. I love them all. I can't leave Ella out of those, I never played with her but Keeter [Betts] did.

Eleven Television Appearances Highlight 2012-13 Men's Basketball Schedule
2012-13 Men's Basketball Schedule
2012-13 UMass Men's Basketball Schedule
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts has announced its 2012-13 men's basketball schedule, which includes 14 home games and 11 contests that have been selected for television under the Atlantic 10 Conference's agreements with ESPN and CBS.
The 29-game slate includes 12 against teams that participated in the postseason last year, with the potential of as many as 14 based on the Puerto Rico Tip-Off bracket. Additionally, nine current match-ups will be televised nationally, marking the most regular-season contests since the 1997-98 year.
"No matter how it played out we knew we were going to have a tough schedule just from being in the Atlantic 10, which is one of the premier conferences in the nation," said head coach Derek Kellogg, who is entering his fifth season at UMass. "We're also excited that our fans will get to see us play against some of the top teams in the country both at home and on the road, which will allow us the opportunity to prepare for postseason play."
Eight of the 14 home games fall on Saturdays with one Sunday contest.
The season gets underway against Harvard on Nov. 13 as part of the ESPN College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. The game will mark the first regular-season visit to Amherst by ESPN since Jan. of 2009. Two days later the Minutemen will open play at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off with regional rival Providence on ESPNU. The final two days will see UMass appear on ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN3 depending on their spot in the bracket.
On Nov. 28, UMass will battle Siena for the second of a three-game series, this time in Albany, N.Y. The Minutemen will host Miami (Fla.) on Dec. 1 in the first of seven national games on the CBS Sports Network. UMass will travel to Northeastern on Dec. 4 before taking an 11-day break for final exams.
Elon (Dec. 15), Ohio (Dec. 19) and East Carolina (Dec. 22) all make visits to Amherst to close out the pre-Christmas stretch. UMass will then play at Northern Illinois (Dec. 29), at Miami (Ohio) (Jan. 2) and home versus Eastern Michigan (Jan. 5) - its final three Mid-American Conference programs as stipulated by the UMass football program's membership with the FBS league.
The A-10 portion of the schedule opens on the road at Saint Louis on Jan. 10 and Fordham on Jan. 13. The SLU contest will be televised nationally on the CBS College Sports Network.
The Minutemen return to Amherst for a three-game homestand against Duquesne (Jan. 17), George Washington (Jan. 19) and Richmond (Jan. 27). The first of two scheduled `bye weeks' falls after the GW contest, meaning UMass will have 16 days between road contests.
UMass will make its only regular-season trip to Philadelphia on Jan. 30 when it plays at La Salle. A trip to Charlotte on Feb. 2 will be the final trip to the Tar Heel State in the 49ers' final A-10 season. Kellogg's troops host rival Rhode Island on Feb. 6.
One of the toughest stretches on the season will see UMass play three games in eight days, beginning at home on ESPN against Saint Joseph's on Feb. 9. The Minutemen will make their first visit to VCU on Valentine's Day in a late-night CBSSN game before hosting Temple two days later in the Owls final visit to the Mullins Center before departing the conference. That game will also be played before a CBSSN national audience.
They close out the February portion of the slate at 2012 A-10 Tournament champion St. Bonaventure on Feb. 20 in a CBSSN Regional telecast before welcoming Dayton to the Pioneer Valley on Feb. 23.
UMass will play two of its final three games outside the Pioneer Valley, travelling to Xavier on Mar. 2 on the CBSSN, hosting Butler on Mar. 7 for Senior Day on an A-10 regional broadcast before closing the year at URI on Mar. 9.
The A-10 Championship will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Mar. 14-17. The top 12 teams in the league standings will qualify and all four rounds being held at the $1 billion, 18,000-seat facility.
With 26 games in addition to the Puerto Rico event, UMass may still add another game at a later date.

[TSL] Exile's Item Pack now up at my site.
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I have been busy making this one, even used a GFF Editor for all the items too. Thanks to Darth333's handy Whereami Armband we are all saved! :D
This is a package of custom items I created strictly for the Exile (PC). OK actually there is one item for each of your party members too! :)
These items can be found in game normally on the Harbringer in your quarters or gotten by using the 'giveitem' cheat with the cheat console, the giveitem codes are listed at the bottom of the readme.
New Version 1.1
Get it here! :emperor:
Or Here! Or The PCGameMods Direct Download Link... Here! :ben:
As I said above when you go into your quarters on the Harbringer, and the one time cutscene dialog about your quarters happens, you will find your Verpine Klakar X-1000 Portable Vault there, open it up and see... You have the choice of just taking the LS stuff... or just the DS stuff... or be impatient 'like me' and get all the stuff at once. Be careful, once you choose to take the items there is no going back.
A small Warning, once again these items are powerful, but definately not like the ones I made early on in my KOTOR I days like the Revan Items were. This time I focused more on the skill bonuses as they save your behind more in TSL than they did in KOTOR. The items attributes are listed below, as well as in the readme file. :D
These Exile items all have attributes within the limitations of the games normal given items (I.E. No +10 to all attributes, and 5 Regeneration on everything this time. and using everything you won't have attributes in the low 40's.), in most cases I simply combined a few of the games items properties together to make the new Exile item of that class/type.
I tried not too be outragous, but everyone has a different opinion of what a powerful or outragous item is. With the exception of the combined skill bonuses, you can get almost as nasty bonuses as this item pack using the games found items, just you will have to constantly be changing items for different situations. I hated that, hence I made these items.
At the current time, this item pack is definately for use on the hardest difficulty settings, with an eye toward any future Hardcore mod. ;)
Installation Instructions:
First, if you have not already done so, create a folder called "Override", without the quotes, in your KOTOR2 directory.
Extract the contents of the zip to a temporary folder, run the Patcher EXE follow the instructions, and you should be good to go.
NOTE: You will need to completely uninstall the previous version of this mod before installing this version... sorry. But this should have no effect upon your savegames, as the original uti files and skins are un-altered.
Using the TSL Patcher this mod now will modify upcrystals.2da and upgrade.2da.
Uninstallation Instructions:
Simply delete these files from your override directory, and restore any necissary files from the backup directory the patcher makes in the temp folder you run the patcher from.
What does this mod contain?
:roleyess: Well... here we go...
This Item Package Contains:

I hope you like them! Enjoy! :D
EDIT: I have released an update for this mod creating custom textures for the Exile's robes and creating a whole new White robe for the Exile using the thinner Padawan model instead of the Bathrobe.
Available Here! :ben:
I have also enclosed textures that are compatable with svösh's Robe Collar Fix, and IlikeCommas Padawan Robe Texture Pack Fix for the collar fix.
New In Version 1.1: Altered the Mod to use Stoffe-mkb-'s TSL Patcher Program for complete compatibility. Fixed the give item scripts so that the "Game Freeze" glitch no longer happens. This does not affect the Robe Texture Update for this mod.
Update: As per request by Darth Pierrot, I have merged SuperSquall's Skip Peragus Mod's give item script with my own, so to make our mods compatible just simply download this fix in this post and install it over the script from SS mod, and it should give you all my Exile's Item Pack files when the mod gives you the items it does. I also added the Space Suit to the list of items the mod gives so you will need to drop the uti file in your override as well. As always read the readme file. :D
As per a request by Hoplite28, I have attached some scripts for my mod to give some normal sabers out with my other items... just install the 3 .ncs scripts contained in the zip over my original ones installed in your TSL override folder.
It's no fair :mad: ! I don't even have my copy yet to play through it and already you guys are pumping out these great mods I want to use.
Oh well I'll just get it and hold on to them till I get through the game at least once. Looking forward to what else you put out.
Just thought I'd add thanks for doing the scripting placement, way to many mods conflicted in Kotor with using the utc files and such.
I'm assuming this is compatible with your sew your own robes mod right Redhawke.
Okay I'm getting mine now. I can't wait to see the source as it gives me hope. Now somebody has mentioned a amber saber crystal that didn't make it into game have you seen this?
EnableCheat=1 i do that same as Kotor 1 in TSL?
*ALERT* This mod contains an archive within an archive.
For those who may not of noticed this discussed in the other thread. You will need to extract the archive. Then use the open with command on the single file contained within and use your archive extraction utility on it as you normally would.
I figured I would heads up and mention it here Redhawke since I just downloaded and checked it and it has the same thing going on as the workbench robes mod.
Alright, if I do not get TSL this week I will go insane! Already some great mods and I cannot even play them.
Hey RedHawke, leave something for the rest of us to do!! :lol:
Wow man, you've been rather busy and all of these look great. The temptation of the Dark Side is sooo.....stronge...must....resist...must...beat... "legally" 1st... :fist:
i have a problem i want to use this mod greatly but i can't. Whenever i download it, it says the file is invalid or corrupt. Please help.
Sounds like a good collection of items Redhawke, I'm glad you mentioned Malaks saber I forgot about that one. using it will tyed me over until I can get my saber in game.
Re: problem?
Nice work Redhawke, but where did you get the values for the item properties? I haven't been able to open any 2da files... :rolleyes:
Re: Re: problem?
I really am at my wits end on the winzip problem, since they all work flawlessly on my end I really don't know what to do. :mad:
Update on the corrupted zip problem, I think it is something my host is doing, or something built into IE's Downloader... because I upload known good .zip files and when I download with IE I get the invalid archive message... like IE's downloader is corrupting the file? :eek:
I don't get the message downloading the zip files with FireFox? :confused:
My suggestion for now is to download with Firefox or use the method Darkkender described above to extract the zip.
Also, I wonder why this has just started happening... has MS patched IE recently or what?
Problem Redhawke, the Exile Jedi Robes, as far as I've seen thus far (didn't take the others) cannot be upgraded even though the description tells that they can be. They don't show up on the Ebon Hawk workbench as upgradeable.
I'm going to give this a download and give it a whirl, I'll let you know if it works or not, I download with IE and get no error message so who knows, also is this upgrade.2da file compatible with envida's mod? And if not do the row numbers mean anything in the upgrade.2da file if I were ot edit it, you know does the row number have anything to do with the .uti for the upgrade? I would imagine not though.
Not to raise a Red flag here but speaking of envida's mod there seems to be a compatibility issue with this mod and that one. I've spent 1/2 my evening trying to figure it out. I'm really wishing I had thought to have a save before and after entering your quarters on the harbinger as that would probably have helped me trouble shoot. So far from what I can tell if you are using both mods the game will launch envida's script but not redhawke's. Of course I didn't realize I had a problem untill I was aboard the Ebon Hawk and it was too late.
Nope, I just DL'd and checked Envida's mod, (Very smooth by the way Envida!) and it uses the onenter script... k_152area_enter
I use the script (a_turn152pcdoor) that is fired on the one time cutscene where you talk about the quarters being yours with Atton and Krea...
There should be no compatability issues.
I know I've spent my time coming through the pcode to try to figure it out. I've got a new game started with just yours loaded in there to see if it works fine by itself. The only thing I didn't think to check which just donned on me is the location where the containers spawn. If they are close to each other maybe yours is being offset behind the wall so you can't see it. I could be just reaching though.
Hmm... let me see... Yup... that's it the exact same, next to the bed, coordinates... I even used Darth333's armband too!
I guess great minds think alike!
I'm getting new coordinates as we speak... will post an update... this just plain humorous!
Hmm... both times I've downloaded this, it says it's corrupted.
Thanks to the ever vigilant Darkkender, I found out that I was using the exact same coordinates as Envida's did for my spawned placeable, what are the odds of that? :eek:
I have corrected this and uploaded it on my site, and now the placeable metalbox is next to the bed by the door now... :D
Great job RedHawke, but what are the chances of that happening, lol, you seem to be having bad luck as of late, but still they are great mods keep 'em coming.
Re: Re: Re: problem?
Er, just so its a little update. Can't upgrade because I used the KSE to add the items to my inventory. Seriously couldn't stand one more run through Peragus. Heh heh heh. Minus that however, its working great now.
The upgrade property isn't being written to your savegame in KSE... you should have just used cheat codes for the items.
I will also try an update my mods that have an upgrade.2da to make it compatible with most other TSL mods available at the moment.
Oh, a great mod by the way RedHawk :cool:
Wonderful mod, Redhawke, makes my second playthrough much less tedious and more immersive (don't have to use the ridiculously annoying invisible console to get decent items). I'd love to have similarly named items for my crew, as well. I always wondered why only Atton, Mira, and Handmaiden ever got their own clothing.
I hope one of the industrious lads around here is going to fiddle around with Revan's model eventually, maybe find a way to attach one of the flowing cloaks/robes from another TSL character onto him so he's not clipping through the back of it so nastily.
Once again, Redhawke you keep surprise us with those exelent mods of you...Well done :emodanc:
This mod roxs! My only complaint is that I wished you made Exile's Jedi Battle Armor also (Like the Jal Shey Advisor/Zesion Sha Warrior/Darth Malak's armor) That would have been cool
Everything else about it still rocks though. I'm using it on my next runthrough
Besides the Exile's flashbacks have them in robes not armored robes... so I ran with that theory. ;)
@Thanks to everyone else too! ;)
In case you noticed some posts disappeared, they have been splitted from the thread and sent to some secret area.
Here is the word of the end concerning the last serie of posts:
@Reload2k/Uchiha Itachi: I'm not going to go into lenghty explanations here, the subject has already been overly discussed. Your last post in this thread was mean and uncalled for. The boards are not a place to rant. If you don't plan on using mods, then don't use them and if you don't have nothing useful to post, refrain yourself from posting.
Consider this a warning.
Do not answer this post*. If you have something to say concerning it, PM a moderator. This matter is closed.
*To the others: err...this doesn't mean that you can't post in this thread anymore. You are welcome to discuss the mod in a respectful and constructive manner :)
Game Freezes
These items are pretty powerful and very sweet! But the only way I've been able to get them is to use the cheat. After I click 'take items' from the container and leave the container window, my game freezes. I can still move the mouse around and pan the camera, but nothing else. I have to minimize the game and end task on it. I even started a new game and got back to this point, this time without cheating for the items. It still froze after I chose to pick up the items. I tried all different options available, Light Side, Dark Side, All and it freezes everytime. I have since removed all other mods I was using and just have this one loaded. I have a saved game right before entering the Harbenger crews quarters, which is before the script that fires this mod. I've redownloaded and reextracted this mod as well. It seems no one else is experiencing this, so it's probably something I've done or haven't done though I don't know what else I could be doing wrong. I'm copying all files (except those you specified not to in the readme) to my override folder. Any suggestions?
I found my problem. After I posted, I decided to change my graphics settings. I was playing the game at 800X600. After I changed it to 1024X768. The game no longer froze. WOOHOO!!
Re: Game Freezes
Love the mod RedHawke. Quick request/question:
Would it be possible for you to release the exact same thing, but have the saber blades be the standard length when using the custom color crystals(or tell me how to go about doing it)?
Again, love the mod, just find the longer blades visually...off on a PC model. Just personal taste. ;)
Thanks in advance.
Hi, im having trouble installing this Mod. When I download, all I get when i open up the zip is something called a 'file' could it be because im using winrar, please help.
add '.zip' or '.rar' to the end of the 'file' you say you are getting after the first extraction and then extract its contents. It's an issue that has shown it's nasty self time and again. Seems to be an IE problem, coupled with other variables, when downloading RH's winzipped files.
I also had this request a ton of times with the Revan Sabers I did similarly for KOTOR I... and I said the same thing then, I'm just not interested in ever doing so... sorry.

« In Which The Drought Hits Texas »
The Worst Is Over
by YVONNE GEORGINA PUIG
June 15. Another dark and stormy day – in fact, the storm has been going on since Monday. It stays so dark you have to use a lantern or a flashlight to find the way to the yard gate. Lights on in the house all the time. And the incessant lightning and steady rain... Now the worst seems to be over – rain is coming down in buckets, but it is not so dark. It has been completely black, and the rain so blinding I can't see the town lights. I'll bet the creeks are all out, and the cows and possums will have to swim. I will keep to the high ground… 3:30 and the storm is going off to the east, and the west and north are clearing, and so beautiful. Have you ever noticed how, as a storm moves on, a strong cold wind blows back from it? This rain was three inches, and with the inch we had the other day, that ought to be enough to clear the sky for awhile.
My great, great Aunt Grace wrote this when she was in her late eighties, sometime around 1977. For sixty years, she lived on a hilltop farm in Navasota, Texas, without running water or electricity, manning the animals and vegetables, reading, writing poetry, and prolifically documenting the elements. To read a box of her letters is to understand the unpredictability of Texas weather.
The one general consistency that Texans come to expect, however, is rain. Especially in summer. The drama of a warm Texas thunderstorm, dark as Aunt Grace describes, hanging low and green across the sky, is a wonder, and a wonder to articulate. Moments before these storms break the wind calms and the trees still and the sky takes on a surreal purple-orange effulgence. I have never seen it captured truly in a photograph.
Grace's black walnut trees
The skies in Texas have been clear for too long though. The summer of 2009 has brought only flimsy, intermittent showers to Austin, and the entire state is in the midst of the worst drought in fifty years. Hot, dry spells come and go; Aunt Grace wrote of one in 1980:
July 24 and still purgatory. Headline: "Carter prays for rain and cooler weather." Either he is a monumental hypocrite or simple beyond the bounds of idiocy. The only respite we have it is not quite so hot. However, it is dryer and dryer. We had four days of clouds, lovely fat rain clouds, squally lightning, and grumbling thunder, and it all brought down just one-third of an inch of water… I'm arguing with my common sense on continuing to water the beans and tomatoes… One special annoyance of heat and drought is there is so little one can do. Gardens won't grow, pastures are at a standstill… There should be more to life besides just maintaining a temperature of 75 degrees.
Grace's house
The severity of the current drought has been coupled with triple-digit heat indexes all day, every day, another anomaly outside of the dog-days of late August. Thunderstorms are typically the way Texans cope with the heat, and without them, the waking hours plod on in a haze of blistering misery. We don't even have morning dew. I haven't spent a summer in Texas in ten years, and I arrived here in June full of dread. At 4 o'clock, walking up my sister's driveway, the sun feels like it is literally eviscerating my flesh, but on the whole, to my surprise, I've appreciated it.
Living a Texas summer, this summer in particular, is living an extreme. And extremes necessitate adaptation. Better to sink in than to resist. I've spent a lot of time these last few weeks with my cats, outside, not moving. The cats lay on the shaded concrete beneath the carport, and I sit (trying to work) beneath the patio umbrella. Sometimes I'll take a walk wearing a dorky deep-brimmed hat. And that's the extent of the preoccupations around here. Air-conditioning is a relief, but when I'm home, I'm usually outside.
All the familiar Texas things, even passing thoughts, begin to take on a languid significance. Hot breeze on the high branches of a big oak, a recollection that as I child I thought archeology was romantic, grackles hunting in the St. Augustine; I admire these things for their persistence. The air stirs, ideas surface, nature endures, slowly, in spite of this destructive, thirsty burden.
Next week, I return to Los Angeles, where the weather comes easy. The ocean breeze always feels nice, but I will miss my quiet perseverant backyard. Here, the frills of the metropolis are immaterial. Meanwhile, the weather-predictors are predicting El Nino will bring rain to Texas in the fall. Here's hoping, not praying, they're right.
September 29th. At 3 a.m. there was a beautiful heavy shower. No wind, no lightning, just a downfall of water. This will be enough to bring up all the crops already planted, it will get the pastures growing better. And it will be a blessing on my garden projects. The planted beans will sprout, so will the squash. Come to dinner in a week or so. Don't procrastinate. Nature is perfect for only such a short minute.

We hope you enjoy this episode of LucasCast!
It's very good, very informative - best one so far IMO.
Funny too! :D
and welcome to the podcasts rhett! ur awesome!
Edit: And thanks a bunch for recommending rock band Jae Onasi - I went to stockport with m8s after listening to this and bought it! its loads of fun!
and damn u moeller and groovy, riddick aint out in uk for 11 days yet!
World of Goo is awesome, and shall always be awesome, for it is awesome. Amen. :carms:
I'm surprised, and shocked, that you guys didn't mention Snatcher from Hideo Kojima; It was definitely the best Sega CD game, and has a much better plot than any of the Metal Gear games.
And yes, Dragon Age does look generic. Not only is it set in the oh so redundant high fantasy realm of lack of creativity, the dialogue, so far, looks truly pathetic. I also haven't seen the most important aspect of them all: dragons. I mean, when you have a game called Dragon Age, a title that literally translates as "Age of Dragons", you'd think that there would dragons everywhere. If the only dragon in the game is the final boss, then there wouldn't be much point to naming a whole franchise after one measly dragon.
Show spoiler
For Grooves :D
Hooray! An edlib shoutout! :D
Pertinent links:

The LucasCast Fan Page on Facebook.
Personally I prefer to reserve judgment about a game until I've had a chance to look at it. Sneak previews and teasers rarely give a decent impression of what the final game will be like, in my experience. :)
@ PastramiX: If I was there I would've mentioned Snatcher and I would've busted some heads over that Zelda bit.
I will be sure to send you an electronic mail for the next one :)
Congrats to Boba Rhett! :D
Hehe, Thanks. Not many seem to have noticed that particular news in there. :D
Oh, sorry Rhett :)
Congratulations! (you should have made a thread in the Swamp or something!)
Also, it was good to have you finally on the Cast, stick around. Your pantsless humor is enjoyed by many :D
Gratz Rhett on the engagement! How much did it set you back to bribe her to say 'yes'?
>.> * runs *
Congratulations Rhett! :D
@ChAiNz, what would we all have to do to get you in on the Cast? :p
Hey boys and girls!
Glad you got a kick out of Episode 4. My favorite parts were towards the last 15 minutes of recording where Niner launched his rants about how a cell phone is a cell phone, get off my lawn! Niner is a very funny guy! Also remember though, that Niner is the one that makes these podcasts sound professional by cutting out all of our screw ups, and moving things around so they flow better in the cast. He is a pure genius at what he does!
Easter is over, so we are back on schedule with recording. Due to my job, and the powers that be, we are recording Episode 5 on Friday instead of our usual Sunday record time. That means Episode 5 should be up for download by Monday of next week. We will have most of the usual suspects on our discussion panel, with the exception of Darth Moeller, who has some serious school issues to tend too. If you have been wondering why Lynk Former has been absent, it is due to his new job which unfortunately due to Australian time zone differences, removes him from recording time. I am sure he won't be gone for good, but for the time being, we brought in acdcfanbill to take up his space on the recording end. Also, Boba Rhett will be back for Episode 5. I am sure Lynk will be back in time. However, after all, I did promise that there would be a "revolving door" of cast members between episodes. PLEASE keep the emails coming in, and continue to tell all of your friends about lucascast.com! The more fans we get, the more feedback, and the more topics we will address! And I promise you, no more KOTOR references in the next podcast! :p
Also, just curious, would you guys like us to do more audio effects like we did with the bit from A New Hope on Episode 3? They can be a bitch to put together, but we are always trying different things to make the cast more interesting to you folks. Keep those emails coming, and spread the word for us!
..I have no ideas what to do apart from the rogue squadron though :P
You could have a couple of you (Lynk and Lexx p'haps?) recreate the banter and dialog from the cutscenes from Jedi Outcast with Kyle and Jan. :p
Or just use pithy quotes (if you can't get legal clearance to use the actual sound clips...) from the soundtracks of various LA games in general.
The LA adventure games would be an almost endless source of these (Sam and Max, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango could keep you set for years of episodes to come...
Firstly, a huge CONGRATS to Rhett on the engagement! Is she allowed in 'The Man Room'?? Don't ever allow her to put throw rugs and pillows all over it, like some gals are prone to do....
Wow. Ep4 was super! Good to see Rhett and Bill in there ;) great to see edlib get a shout out and Im fast getting used to being mentioned without being mentioned(Rebel Assault crawl correction) :xp: Edit: heard it... sorry I missed it! Cheers for the mention Grooves ;)
It indeed wasnt James Earl Jones, but I wouldnt rip on RA2s audio too much... considering it was designed for Sound Blaster 16 era hardware ;)
The blooper reel was hilarious, as was groovys terrible Oz accent. It must be said that pulling off a less exaggerated Aussie accent(unlike Steve Irwins for example) is pretty hard. It's like how its easier to emulate a Texan accent as opposed to a Boston one, simply because we are used to hearing the Texan more from Tv, movies, news.
eg. just as an idea(based on something similar I heard elsewhere, but with yoda as the focus)
Following the opening jingle intro, you could add a little clip of a cast member doing Ackbars It's A Trap bit. The person chosen for this must have the worse possible Ackbar impression, which you could further reveal by playing back everyones effort in the blooper real.
Hey--we mentioned you by name, Astro. I've listened to the cast twice now and noted your name both times. I think Steve Irwin's accent isn't too hard to mimic, but I'm one of those people who can hear something and repeat the sound pretty well, unless it's a Spanish R. I can make the Arabic sound 'ayn' but not a Spanish R. Go figure.
I can do a pretty decent Yoda. Can you imagine me as a soprano Ackbar, though? :lol:
Lexx got me curious... So, I looked into No One Lives Forever 2... And found this... :D The Far Cry pun was great Rhett... :xp:
Great podcast as always! Grats Rhett! Also, come on, how could you not mention Snatcher when talking about Hideo Kojima's previous games? :(
^ It does look like a lot of fun. :D
MGS4 is a corny movie with interactive interludes. If I want to watch a movie, I'll pay $10 to watch one in the theater instead of $60 to watch one try to pass itself off as a game on my TV. :xp:
Seeing you are a West Londoner, does that mean you're a Chelsea FC gal? ;)
btw Lexxy, I am also a "glass half full'' type too, esp when it comes to new initiatives that streamline technology(like OnLive). Its only for banks & politicians that Im cynical to the core on :p
Hell no! I'm an Arsenal fan (even though we lost today :().
Awesome episode guys! Congrats rhett!
I guess I should've been more clear, I'm from North West London. ;)
Great podcast guys! By far my favorite. Oh, and gratz to Rhett!
I second the AvP2 game night idea. It'd be sweet if we could get a decent sized group.
Great podcast!
So... has Ep. 5 been put on hold, scrapped, dropped in the sewers, or suffered some other dastardly fate?
this 'cast made me want to go out and get the games mentioned, especially no one lives forever, which i have seen around, but never paid too much attention to.
i absolutely agree with jae on all her points on the left behind game and christian video games.
@groovy: i take it that your comment that video games are satanic was a joke. right?
great job on this one! :thumbsup:

Published on: Feb 26, 2014 - 12:00pm
ABS-CBNnews.com reports that on Wednesday, February 26, "alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles arrived at the Philippine National Police General Hospital in Camp Crame to undergo medical check-up." According to Chief Superintendent Alejandro Advincula, PNP Health Service director, "Napoles is set to undergo transvaginal ultrasound and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) blood test."
Then, the report noted: "Advincula added the government will shoulder the P3,000 medical expenses of Napoles for today. This is on top of the P120,000 the government shelled out for the alleged pork barrel scam mastermind's transfer from her detention unit at Fort Sto. Domingo in Laguna to the PNP Headquarters in Quezon City."
Grand total (in case you missed it): P123,000...paid for by the government...which gets its money from taxpayers like you and me.

Andre Santis, an independent software developer, announced on Coin Desk yesterday that he is opening an app store that allows users to download and install any app they like on an iOS device. His team has also developed a standalone bitcoin wallet app that is now available to download.
This is an 'unapproved' item developed by a third party as a product of the Birmingham, Alabama company, Avalonic, which is co-founded by Santis and his business partner Tyler Evans.
Is this a breakthrough for both iOS and bitcoin users? The app store is called 'Bit Store.' The apps available are not web-based, but use a combination of HTML5 to render app interfaces and back-ends written in C. Santis states that you do not need to hack an iOS system illegally. They do not violate the Apple Store but are not approved either.
The apps are planned to be paid with Bitcoin and released to serve on any platform. The Bit Store beta only has just a few simple apps available, including the bitcoin wallet and a news aggregator/company directory. There is a 'Wallet' app that uses Coinbase for payment to any address and receiving bitcoin. The app allows for the listing in BTC and USD, so real time valuation can occur.
Since Apple is protective of its app Store and charges 30% for apps, Santis checked his procedures and boundaries. He has not received any notification from Apple attorneys. At one time Santis did work for Apple. When he attempted to develop an independent and cross-platform app platform, he realized that a bitcoin app could be developed due to the Apple ban on bitcoin wallet apps from its Apple store.
While working for Apple Santis did not sign a contract for non-compete and has had no indication all these months that Apple would legally bar him. In order for him to run an app for multi-platform of iOS, android and Windows Phone, Santis worked with three different programming languages: Objective C, Java, and C#.
He explains the technical situation as follows:
'Apple can't prevent our store's existence because on iOS, Safari allows applications to be installed to the home screen. In the event that the implementation we currently have in place is compromised by an update we will modify our code to circumvent the update.
If our seamless implementation is still disabled by such a future update, which while possible isn't likely to happen in the near future due to the damages this would cause to existing software that has existed since iOS 4, we would revert to an app store that you install with the 'install to home screen method.
If we can install our store to the home screen, then we can install apps exactly, if not very similar, to how we are installing them now.'
Santis and Evans operate legally their Bit Store under Apple's own rules to web applications that are free to add to their iOS Home screens. Here is Santis statement on the legal boundary that Bit Store maintains:
'Apple's own documentation states that, 'A web application is designed to look and behave in a way similar to a native application.' Although we are taking our implementation a few steps further than the average 'web application.' 'In the end 'we could revert back to such a state and maintain our platform,' states Santis.
Those interested in finding out about this Bit Store can go to the Avalonic home page and be directed to a video explanation. Enthusiastic responses from reddit and twitter are asking Avalonic for other cryptocurrency apps like litecoin and dogecoin.

BMW Z4 moving back to Germany
Since their introduction in the mid-nineties the BMW Z3 and its Z4 successor, along with their M and coupe derivatives, have always been built at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina manufacturing facility. That all looks set to change with the next-generation model. Given that the biggest market for BMW's SUV models is in North America the company has already previously announced plans to shift X3 production from MagnaSteyr's plant to Austria to Spartanburg, BMW will consolidate all SUV and CUV production there. Capacity in Spartanburg is being bumped from 140,000 to 200,000 units a year to accommodate this, and production of the next Z4 will shift to Regensburg, Germany. The upcoming X6 will be added to Spartanburg's output as well.
