Etal First-Time Configuration
- 1 Verify your Diablo II Installation
- 2 Is your character appropriate for Etal?
- 3 Locate the Etal Manager
- 4 Configure the Etal Manager
- 5 Configure your Diablo game.exe
- 6 Configure your profile
- 7 Create a Configuration File template for your character
- 8 Edit your Character Configuration template
This guide assumes a fresh installation of Etal that has never before been configured. If you have not yet set up SVN or Etal, you need to follow the steps in the Installing Etal guide before continuing with this configuration guide.
Verify your Diablo II Installation
Before you begin, please verify that you can launch Diablo manually and connect to battle.net.
Is your character appropriate for Etal?
There are only a couple of prerequisites with respect to your Diablo II character.
1. Your character needs teleport, either the Enigma runeword, or the Sorceress skill.
- Note:
- Etal pathing was never really intended for walking. The generalized answer is no to having no teleport skill.
- There is an exception to this, the universal Baal leech has a walking setting.
- Special cases, like Eldritch or Pindleskin for example, can have some limited success without teleport.
- On maps that are static you can plot x,y coords for walking and increase success. There are walking Tristram scripts around that do work most of the time.
- On maps that layout stays the same, but x,y coords change you can use a something, example would be act 1 town and the fire, to plot your coords off of. Another example of this would be trav and use either the wp or the entrance to durance levels as something to base the x, y's off of
- To increase success even more the amount of retries in the moveto function can be reduced, see the reset bot unless sixpack changed that, and also adding a clear position before killing a called boss helps. Doing a check for monsters close when you get stuck and doing a clear position would probably help as well as maybe rotating a vector, walking a bit, getting a new path to the original destination and trying again.
2. Your character needs a Tome of Town Portal in their inventory.
- Additionally, a Tome of Town Portal can not be in the stash or Horadric cube.
3. Your character will need some gold to start with to purchase repairs, potions, and scrolls.
4. Your character needs to be strong enough to handle the scripts you have it set to run.
- If you have problems here you should decrease the difficulty you are botting or try different scripts.
5. Any class choice is acceptable provided your build is effective for the areas you wish to bot.
Locate the Etal Manager
The Etal scripts are run though the Etal manager. To locate the executable, navigate though your Etal directory to \Etal\D2NT\Etal Manager.exe.
If you have not yet installed Etal, you need to follow the steps in the Installing Etal guide before continuing with this configuration guide.
Configure the Etal Manager
If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, please follow these instructions.
- If you run a previous version of Windows, Etal is already properly configured for your system and you can skip this section.
- If using windows 7 you do not have to check compatibility tab.
1. Right click on Etal Manager.exe
2. Select Properties from the menu
3. Select the Compatibility tab at the top
4. Under "Compatibility mode", enable the checkbox to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. From the drop down list choose: "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
6. Under "Privilege Level" click the checkbox labeled "Run this program as an administrator"
7. Select the "OK" button to save these changes.
Configure your Diablo game.exe
Please follow these instructions.
1. Navigate to your Diablo 2 install folder and right click on Diablo's game.exe
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu
3. Select the Compatibility tab at the top
4. Under "Compatibility mode", enable the checkbox to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. From the drop down list choose: "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
6. Under "Privilege Level" enable the checkbox labeled "Run this program as an administrator"
7. Select the "OK" button to save these changes.
Configure your profile
1. Launch your Etal Manager.exe
2. Click the "Add" button to make a new profile
3. Provide a Profile Name to help you to identify this specific profile
4. Configure a path to the diablo "Game.exe" file. Generally, you can just use the auto-detect button to have Etal locate this file for you.
5. Select your runtime options. We recommend Window Mode/No Sound/Low Quality.
6. If you have made .mpq files for your CD keys you would specify them here in the box labeled CDKey. An example of the syntax is specified beneath the entry field. If you have more than 1 cdkey.mpq file you will also have to adjust the "Game #/CDkey" field with a non-zero value. If you need more information on making these files please see the Requirements and Recommendations Guide and read about Serby's tool. These .mpq files are not required for a single cdkey installation; the bot will use the key installed from the regular Diablo 2 installation if no mpqs are specified.
7. Configure you Game Settings and select your entry point/starter file. For details on entry point/starter files visit the Starter Config page.
8. Click OK to finish profile configuration. 9. Click the Save button to save your profile setting.
Note: imperative is last name of your every diablo II copy to be "...\Diablo II\" - not like in previous picture in field "Path"
Create a Configuration File template for your character
When you launch your profile for the first time and successfully join a game, Etal will auto-create a base configuration file for you.
This file can be found in the Etal\D2Etal\scripts\NTBot\char_configs\ directory and it will be named NTConfig_<character class>_<your character name>.ntl.
Please note that it will be important to recreate this template file and reconfigure your character whenever you update your Etal version.
Edit your Character Configuration template
Before you begin editing, check to make sure you have a good file editor. We recommend Programmer's Notepad or Notepad++ for all your editing needs. DO NOT use Microsoft Notepad/Wordpad.
WARNING: Never cut and paste from these wiki entries into your configuration file. The syntax may not match. Always edit your file manually.
Your character configuration file contains all the configuration settings relevant to your character. It is important to become familiar with this file. In this guide only the configuration settings critical to getting your bot running will be outlined. You will still need to explore the remaining settings to fine tune your bot and get things running optimally.
Please note that due to the ever changing content of these configuration files as well as the multiple different Etal builds that are publicly available, some information in this document might not match exactly with your configuration file.
The Config Check
The following information has been identified as a Frequently Asked Question.
This section of the character configuration is intended to verify that you have edited this file prior to attempting to run the bot. You must comment out the call to ConfigCheck.ntj to run the bot.
Before Edit:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Comment the Config Check out. // If you have trouble configuring your bot, all guides for Etal can be found below: // http://www.D2Etal.com // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NTConfig_Script.push("ConfigCheck.ntj");
After Edit:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Comment the Config Check out. // If you have trouble configuring your bot, all guides for Etal can be found below: // http://www.D2Etal.com // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //NTConfig_Script.push("ConfigCheck.ntj");
Bot Script Selection
WARNING: DO NOT uncomment anything on the RIGHT SIDE of the character config. These lines are only to explain what your options are and what certain parts do. They are not written in javascript and will cause errors!
There are many different types of scripts you can choose to run and it is a good idea to have a look through the various choices. For the purposes of this guide, we will focus on the Boss Configuration since that is the most common area of selection.
Search for this header:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Boss configuration //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under this header you will find various boss scripts organized by the act they are found in. Simply uncomment the scripts you wish to run by removing the "//" in front of them. Don't forget to configure any parameters associated with these scripts. These parameters will generally be located just beneath the uncommented script.
NTConfig_Script.push("NTCatacombs.ntj"); NTConfig_ClearAllCatacombs = 0; // 0 : Andy only, 1 : Clear All, 2 : Clear While Skipping Regular Monsters NTConfig_PositionAndy = 0; // 0 : right wall, 1 : left wall, 2 : very close, 3 : andy dodge, 4 : out of andy range NTConfig_ClearAndarielThrone = true; // Set to true to clear the throne room after Andy, false if not
In the above example, we have removed the commenting forward slashes from the beginning of the line calling the Catacombs script.
This script has three associated configuration parameters for your consideration, ClearAllCatacombs, PositionAndy and ClearAndarielThrone.
All of these configuration parameters have comments on the right hand side to help you understand their purpose and possible configuration!
WARNING: If your bot enters the game and leaves immediately but DOES NOT display any errors, it's probably because this section wasn't done right.
Inventory settings
Search for this header:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Inventory settings //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please make sure the FreeSpace parameter is set to a nonzero value. If you do not change this, the bot will never stash any items since it cannot meet the criteria to do so.
NTConfig_FreeSpace = 1; // Number of free columns. If bot has less than this amount after id'ing, it will go to stash.
The next bit of configuration you must configure is your inventory columns. You need to tell the bot which spaces in your character's inventory are never to be moved.
This is useful if you plan to have your character carry items like a Hellfire torch, Annihilus charm, Tome of Town Portal, Gheed's Fortune charm or any other item that should always remain in a character's inventory.
The following configuration section of the inventory settings is used to designate exactly this.
// These numbers correspond to your inventory. Set 0 to keep whatever is there, 1 to have the bot manage the slot. NTConfig_Columns[0] = [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0]; NTConfig_Columns[1] = [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0]; NTConfig_Columns[2] = [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0]; NTConfig_Columns[3] = [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0];
In the above example we are configured to leave the items located in the right hand side of the inventory untouched. The left hand side of the inventory will be used to pick up items. This configuration would match the following inventory provided all items shown are meant to be kept where they are.
You are required to have at least 1 (one/uno/single) spot open in your inventory or you WILL run into issues!!!
Snagit settings
Search for this header:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // SnagIt configuration // Select one group only (normal / advance / extreme / Master) //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this section Etal has included 4 sets of pre-configured snagit files. The contents of these files will determine what your bot chooses to pick up and what it will ignore. If you plan to use any of these pre-configured snagit file sets, please make sure you uncomment only one set'. You may also choose to create your own snagit files.
The 3 pre-configured snagit file sets (normal, advance, extreme) provide you with a progression from loose to more strict snagit files while master is a comprehensive list set to reasonable settings. If you want you bot picking up more basic items for general use, select the normal or advance files. If you want to look for the more highly valued rare or magical items in Diablo, you will want to select the extreme files. If you want to configure your own, use the Master files and edit them to your liking.
If you choose the master files, please be aware that the FAST.nip file is only for use with the fast snagit feature. It is essentially a paired down compilation of all the other Master nip files within the one file. You should use either the master FAST.nip or the other master files. Including the FAST.nip with the other Master nips will duplicate NIP entries.
Regardless of which you select, you should take a look at these files and become familiar with them. That way, you will always know why you identify and/or keep certain items.
//NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/normal.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/magic_rare.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/set.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/unique.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/craft.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("normal/key.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/normal.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/magic_rare.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/set.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/unique.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/craft.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("advance/key.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/normal.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/magic_rare.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/set.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/unique.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/craft.nip"); NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("extreme/key.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Charms.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Crafted.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Cubed.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/CustomAdditions.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/FAST.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Gold Potions Runes Gems Essences Keys Organs.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Magic.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Rare.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Set.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Unid.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Unique.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/White.nip"); //NTConfig_NIPFilePath.push("Master/Runeword.nip");
In the above example we have enabled only the extreme set of snagit (or NIP) files. To view the contents of these files, navigate to the Etal\D2NT\scripts\NTBot\item_configs\extreme\ directory, open and read each one.
Information on snagit syntax can be found on the Nip Config page.
Attack settings
Search for this header:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Attack configuration // Change the -1's to corosponding #'s found in /D2NT/sdk/skills.txt // As of Jan 17th: -1 = disable, 0 = normal attack //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTConfig_AttackSkill[0] = -1; // First skill. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[1] = 112; // Primary skill to boss. NTConfig_AttackSkill[2] = 113; // Primary aura to boss. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[3] = 112; // Primary skill to others. NTConfig_AttackSkill[4] = 113; // Primary aura to others. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[5] = -1; // Secondary skill in case monster is immune to primary skill. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[6] = -1; // Secondary aura. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[7] = -1; // Tertiary skill in case monster is immune to primary skill. Set to -1 if you won't NTConfig_AttackSkill[8] = -1; // Tertiary aura. Set to -1 if you won't
In the above example we have configured a hammerdin to use blessed hammer (112) and concentration (113) and disabled all other parameters. The reference that maps the skill ID numbers to English is located in [1]. Please configure the attack skills you want your bot to use.
WARNING: Traps, curses, shapeshifting and any other related attacks do not belong in your attack settings! These go under class-specific settings (shown below). If you put these skills in your attack config, your bot will not function properly! See specific classes for more info.
Skill Spamming
You also have options for skill spamming at Diablo and Baal. They are not both available for all characters. They are found under the main attacks.
NTConfig_DiaSpam = 0; // Skill to spam before Diablo Spawns prewavespot = [15092, 5040]; // Pre-Wave standing (X,Y) coordinates. (For Baal Scripts.) NTConfig_PreWaveSpam = 0; // Attack skill to spam between waves. Set "0" to disable. KBLSpamPos = [15090, 5028, 15099, 5028, 15093, 5028]; // (X,Y) coordinates to attack with NTConfig_PreWaveSpam.
This was taken from the Sorceress config. NTConfig_DiaSpam is to spam a skill before Diablo spawns. In the case of a sorceress, you might use Charged Bolt for the spam and Lightning for your main attack, or some similar combination. NTConfig_PreWaveSpam is the same thing, but for the waves in the Throne of Destruction. For both of these options, you will put the skill number found in D2NT/scripts/NTBot/char_configs/skills.txt
Class Specific Attack Settings
Search for this header:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Class Specific settings //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In each character configuration, there are class specific settings that no other class has due to them all being so unique.
Each classes character configuration file is linked below for reference, and you can check the information after the '//' on each line to see what that line will do.
- Farcasting can be enabled using the extras/farcast/ files included with the download!
- Traps, fade, blade shield, cloak of shadows, trap ranges, boss trap ranges, number of traps, etc.
- Find item setting, range of find item usage, weapon switching for higher BO levels.
- Raven casting, distance between you and mobs for tornado.
- Boss and normal monster curse settings, golem summoning, how many skeletons/mages/revives to use, corpse explosion.
- Using redemption for HP and MP, and stationary boss smiting.
- Chain lightning on light immunities, dancing Sorc, static casting.
Additional Character Configuration Information
If your bot is strength bugged (you are using +Strength from items to put on others) then your Enigma may be lost!
If you don't know whether or not you are strength bugged, take all of your charms and put them into your stash. Then remove all of your gear, if you can't put your Enigma back on, then you are strength bugged!

Inside the Shop
In these pages, I'll try to explain some of the tools and techniques that I use to make my tampers. Please bear in mind that this is a work in progress -- I've already noticed, as I started writing this, a few changes that I'd like to make in my shop and the manufacturing process. Nevertheless, I hope this will give you an idea of the way in which a JAGWAL tamper is made.
These pictures and descriptions show the steps involved in making a Big Daddy tamper. The construction of a Pocket Rocket is similar, though somewhat simpler given the lack of the internal tool.
NOTE: The pictures are fairly large; in order to make these pages readable for those of you with a slower connection, I've thumbnailed them. Hopefully they will be adequately viewable even in their thumbnail form.
The materials I use are fairly straightforward -- brass, Delrin, and stainless-steel rods of various sizes; trim materials such as ivory micarta; and wood. I buy much of the wood I use in the form of "pen blanks," which are small pieces intended for turning of pens. A "standard" pen blank is roughly 5" long by 5/8" square.
This picture shows the rods I use, pieces of ivory micarta and malachite composite, and a couple pen blanks. The large piece of wood on the bottom is a 2" square piece of walnut burl. Before turning this I would use a bandsaw to cut it down to roughly 3/4" square.
The Lathe
Given that I'm a Guy With a Lathe, you've probably guessed that my main tool for tamper-making is ... a lathe. My lathe is made by Taig and is designed for small-scale turning of metal, wood, and plastics:
The Taig lathe uses a cutting tool mounted on a toolpost. In the picture you can see the cutting tool (it's blue) in the toolpost (the gold piece). The toolpost is bolted into a carriage that can be moved laterally with the large wheel, or forward and back with the small wheel.
Those of you familiar with Taig lathes will notice that mine is fairly standard. The significant modifications I've made are a longer handle on the drilling tailstock (at right, complete with custom duct-tape grip), the keyless tailstock chuck, and the 3/4" headstock chuck.
Next: Preparing the Brass

Ballmer buoyant about Nokia buyout but Elop 'feels sad' about deal
Nokia boss says selling changes what the company stands for
OUTGOING Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he is optimistic about the company's acquisition of Nokia, while the Finnish phone firm's CEO Stephen Elop said he "feels sad" about the deal.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, during which Microsoft discussed its £4.6bn acquisition of Nokia's devices unit, Ballmer said that he is "incredibly optimistic" about the buyout.
"Today's announcement is a bold step into the future - for Microsoft it is a signature event in our history - the deal is a win win for employees, shareholders and customers. Through our partnership we've already accomplished so much, and I'm incredibly optimistic about what we can achieve together in the future."
While Ballmer seemed buoyant about the buyout, Elop didn't seem quite so happy, saying the deal makes him "feel sad."
Elop said, "Personally, I myself have to confront how I feel about this next chapter. I share the frustration at being so far behind two large competitors.
"I feel sadness, because we are changing Nokia and what it stands for. For all of us at Nokia today there is ambiguity and concern - because it's so hard to know what the future holds."
Elop isn't all tears this morning though, as he also shared some optimistic thoughts on the buyout, saying Microsoft's acquisition means the firm is now well-placed to become a real threat in the smartphone market.
Elop added, "It continues to be an exciting time for our devices and services business. We have been going faster than Nokia has even gone before.
"Achieving our goal of becoming the third ecosystem is becoming very real - but we have to go even faster, we have to accelerate." µ

On the 16th, ear X-tacy had an excellent in-store concert featuring Daniel Martin Moore and Ben Sollee; the turn out for the show was also excellent, and John Timmons made a lovely speech before the set. (We have a great record store!)
I talked to some of the store employees about the store's recent troubles during the concert; Mark admitted his bias, but of course said that he didn't want the Louisville staple to go anywhere. Jaxon (whilst stationed at the doors) stated that it's important to remember that many of the local, independent businesses in the area are suffering, and that it's important to support our local businesses as a community.
Fortunately, it seems that many local music fans have done just that, and it was heartwarming to see the massive turnout.
One of the best examples of the community truly getting behind our store is that Louisville natives (and now nationwide stars) My Morning Jacket has donated sales of their live album, 'Celebracion De La Ciudad Natal' to save ear X-tacy. To buy the album and help the store, buy the digital download at Think Indie. The album was recorded live in Louisville, and the band has really shown their true Louisville colors by donating these sales.
It's incredible to see how well the community has rallied around ear X-tacy, but it's important to keep at it, during Vinyl Lovers Week(going on now, with huge vinyl sales), and beyond. After all, what other store in Louisville can you pop into, witness a fantastic concert, pick up a CD, overhear an in-depth conversation about the White Album, and leave with a John & Yoko poster to boot?
Remember to join the ear X-tacy Facebook page, and the Save ear X-tacy group, too.

The Yen advanced against the Euro for a fourth consecutive day on speculation that the Bank of Japan may not decide to add stimulus during this month's policy meeting, diverging from the E.U.'s central bank which unveiled a series of measures to bolster the economy.
Yen Rallies Against Euro
The Yen rose against the Euro despite mixed economic fundamentals which showed that the Japanese BSI business conditions posted at -14.6 for the second quarter of the year, after posting at 12.7 in the initial three months. CGPI climbed in May from 0.1 to 0.3 percent. Meanwhile, the gauge which measures the fluctuations for the Yen versus the greenback continued at a record low as the live Forex market awaits for the BOJ's governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, to speak once the central bank delivers its policy decision. The monetary authorities have been purchasing an approximate 7 trillion Yen in government bonds per month since April of last year, a stimulus measure that normally debases the Yen. Most economists surveyed believe that the central bank could maintain the status quo and refrain from expanding monetary easing, unlike the ECB which unveiled numerous stimulus plans.
Sterling Trades Higher
The British Pound surged to session highs against its U.S. counterpart after the U.K. announced that the rate of unemployment declined from 6.8 to 6.6 percent in the months of February through April, the lowest in almost five years. At this time, the Bank of England has indicated that officials are split on whether to raise the borrowing costs. Some of them have suggested that the first rate hike could be approaching. Other news showed that the claimant count or number of individuals who filed for jobless benefits dropped by 27,400, surpassing forecasts for a dip of 25,000. The Sterling also strengthened versus the Euro.
Euro Slides Against Dollar
The Euro weakened further against the U.S. currency on Wednesday as the yield gap between European bonds and U.S. Treasuries widened. And despite the lack of economic fundamentals, the Euro continued to trade to the downside. World currency analysts believe that the 18-nation monetary unit is under pressure after the World Bank downgraded its growth outlook, and stated that the terrible winter in the U.S., together with the political crisis in the Ukraine prompted it to reduce its outlook. However, it added that the U.S. and the Euro-zone will probably see economic expansion this year. Bank officials cited the reduction in government spending and improvements in employment as the main factors for spurring growth.

Trust us, it's hard to find a polka dot dress that doesn't feel entirely juvenile, but we think we've done it. The name of Joie's Julie Ann Dress ($298) sounds really precious, but the frock itself is smart and sophisticated and will do the job at the workplace or at a party. The polka dots are small, so they provide a pleasing pattern and texture, but in no way are they screaming, "Look at me! I'm adorable!"

WebDAV to UCM 11g on Windows 7
By Kyle Hatlestad on Oct 11, 2010
With Windows 7 getting rolled out to more client desktops, folks are discovering a change that Microsoft has made to the OS regarding WebDAV. By default, WebDAV on Windows 7 is only supported via HTTPS (SSL for HTTP). So if your UCM instance is not running over HTTPS, then these clients would have difficulty in establishing a WebDAV connection.
But it only takes a simple registry entry change to resolve. Start the registry editor (regedit). Then go to the registry branch:
and change the value for "BasicAuthLevel" to "2" (decimal). Then restart Windows.
For actually setting up the web folder location, I found this tricky to find (it seems to keep changing in Windows). I found it through Windows Explorer, just highlight 'Computer' and right-click and select 'Add a network location'
Update (10/29/2010) - It appears there is a bug when using Windows 7 and UCM 10g (Bug# 9484798). I was connecting to a UCM 11g instance which does work OK. Changing the Title to reflect this is for 11g. Apologies for not checking this on 10g before posting. This will hopefully be resolved in future patch releases.

How do you write a module for Perl? In Python you can use:
# module.py
def helloworld(name):
print "Hello, %s" % name
# main.py
import module
A class:
A module that exports functions:
A script that uses these:
Basically you create a file named
Then the program that uses the module will look like:
You may want to organize your modules in a hierarchical (and hopefully logical) way. To do so you create a tree of directories like:
And then in your program:
There are more facilities to export functions and variables from your module, you can take a look at Henning Koch's "Writing serious Perl: The absolute minimum you need to know".
An "exact" equivalent of your Python example in Perl would look like this:
For more, see the entry for
The last third of Intermediate Perl is devoted to module creation.
Whenever you want to know how to do something in Perl, check perltoc, the table of contents for the Perl documentation:
Several parts of the core Perl documentation can help you:
Good luck,
One minor detail that the answers so far haven't mentioned is that, if you have a (preferably small) module which is purpose-specific enough that it will never be reused, you can put it into the same file as the main program or another package:
This isn't used often because it gives you a package that's defined in a file whose name isn't the same as the package's, which can get confusing because you have to
Also note that the
The most traditional way of setting up a module is as follows:
and as others have said, you can use it like so:
h2xs -XA -n My::Module
h2xs is a utility that comes as standard with perl, intended for assisting in building linked modules including linked C headers/code, but which can be used to build a complete skeleton of a pure perl module (with the -XA flags), including things like a test directory, a README file, a Makefile, and a Manifest. (a good article outlining the details here: http://perltraining.com.au/tips/2005-09-26.html )
It's kinda old-school, but it's worth looking at even if just for all the reminders it gves you about getting everything right (tests, documentation, version numbers, export and export_ok lists, all the easy-to-forget stuff...)
You'll end up with a "Module.pm" file inside a "My" directory (from the "My::Module") that looks like this:

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a T10 (mid-back) paraplegic in good health. About once a year I get an attack of chills, shakes, fever, etc., that are usually caused by a urinary tract infection. In every instance, my left foot and ankle swell, turn red, and stay hot well after my temperature has returned to normal. The redness and swelling go away after about a week and then the foot begins to peel just like it's been badly sunburned. I have no light-touch sensation in the foot (or below the point of injury) but I know it "hurts" because it is very spastic until it returns to normal. I have asked various doctors about this but have not received an explanation. One doctor said the infection originates in the foot. Does that seem reasonable to you?
DEAR READER: Yes. But I am also concerned about the possibility of a recurring infection the source of which is still unknown.
The next time you experience symptoms, you need to have various areas checked for infection. This can easily be done and should include a C and S (culture and sensitivity) of your leg, blood stream and urine. If your problem is, indeed, a reflection of a hidden infection, the source must be identified, the bacteria defined and antibiotics prescribed.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Bladder and Urinary Tract Infections". Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed 4 ¼" X 9 ½" letter-sized stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.

Can I Change Funds in a Roth IRA?
Original post by Leslie McClintock of Demand Media
You can, indeed, change funds in a Roth IRA, free from any federal tax consequence whatsoever, as long as that money remains within the Roth IRA. However, before you make a lot of trades, there are certain restrictions and other considerations that may apply.
Federal Taxes
Since you have already paid income tax on contributions to a Roth IRA, you generally have no further federal tax obligation during your lifetime on the Roth IRA assets, provided they remain in the Roth IRA at least five years after your contribution. The income tax has already been paid and assets in Roth IRAs are not subject to capital gains tax. They also cannot be claimed as capital losses, unless you liquidate the IRA.
Just because you have no federal tax consequence on trades within a Roth IRA doesn't mean that your trades have no cost. If your fund company or broker charges commissions, or sales charges, you may still pay these even within Roth IRAs. Many fund companies waive sales charges on funds within the Roth IRA and other retirement accounts. Check with your fund companies -- both ones you plan to sell and ones you plan to buy -- for details concerning your plan.
Withdrawal Charges
Most mutual funds are not designed for frequent traders -- especially in retirement accounts -- because they hurt present shareholders by increasing trading costs and expense ratios for other investors in the fund. Some companies will charge a fee of up to 2 percent for any withdrawals made within a short time of investing in the fund. Some funds also restrict your ability to purchase more shares in the fund within a certain amount of time of redeeming shares. This policy helps deter market-timers, who can be disruptive to fund operations and increase a fund's costs.
Fund Minimums
Some funds, and some share classes within funds, impose minimum allowable contributions. Often these minimums are substantially lowered for IRA contributions and rollovers. Be sure you check the new fund's prospectus to determine the fund minimums prior to moving money around.

Important Information You Need to Know Before Playing at Online Casinos
Online Casino Laws - Every country has different laws when it comes to gambling on the Internet. Some countries even have no laws, which makes things even more confusing. It would be impossible to go through every country and explain which countries allow their citizens to gamble online, which countries don't, and which countries are ambiguous when it comes to playing at online casinos.
The United States can be described in those same terms. There is no federal law that restricts citizens from playing online and every state in America has different laws, or lack of laws, regarding casino gaming on the web.
It is imperative for all citizens, no matter what country you reside in, no matter what state you reside in, to check the laws of your land before beginning to play at an online casino for real money. No matter where you reside, however, you can download any and/or all of the casinos featured on our site and play them for free for as long as you like.
Online Casino Regulations - Each gambling site you can find across the web is licensed by the country in which it resides. There are currently few online casinos that are not licensed legally somewhere.
Regulation, however is a different story. There are many countries, like the United Kingdom, that regulate the industry, but they only regulate the companies that are located within their physical borders.
The real regulation of online casino sites comes from sites like ours. The web portals across the world only promote reputable brands. If they promote corrupt brands then they ruin their own reputation. It is in the best interest of all casino portals to only promote legitimately run companies and it is in the best interest of online casinos to run their operation legitimately.
Online Casino Bonuses - If you don't follow the guidelines we are about to give you, do not accept or fall for any casino offering you sign up bonus offers. Online casinos offer players bonuses when they sign up for the first time, when they haven't been playing for a while, when they play a lot, and sometimes for no reason at all. There is a reason they give away so much free money... they want you to keep playing.
Now, this may sound like a trick but it's really not. The problem is players don't know what they are getting into when they accept these bonuses. In order to be fair (so you aren't just able to withdraw every bonus a casino gives you), the casinos put wagering requirements that must be met before being able to cash out. This is very important to understand.
The trick that you must play on the casino in order to truly take advantage of these online casino bonuses is to play slowly and with low wagers. This may sound ironic, you are trying to meet wagering requirements, yet we tell you to bet low. The key is to make your money last so that you can play over and over again. Our players that we have hired explain that they can make $10 last longer than most people can make $100 last.
Playing with low bets does not meet not playing the max bets. The trick is to play slots at a low money denomination, say $.01, but play it at max, which is typically $.90. Playing max can help you to win medium and big sized jackpots, but it's low enough that your money will last for a long time and by the time you are ready to cash out you will have met your wagering requirements.
Online Casino Scams - In the old days of online casino gambling, way back in the early 21st century, there really were a ridiculous amount of scams run by a very corrupt online gambling industry. These scams have greatly reduced through the years as casino operators realized that they will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
It is now a truly real statement to say that this is one of the best industries for customer support and player satisfaction (we can only vouch for the sites we have reviewed), because if they cheat their players, if they steal from their players, if they do anything that creates even the slightest bit of untrust in players, they lose them. Remember, it is an online casino's goal to keep you as their player for life. That is why they consistently come out with new games, that is why they consistently offer you new casino bonuses, that is why they have the best customer support.

What a delicious way to spend a morning! My son and I whipped up a batch of our favorite breakfast treat, Coconut Banana Bread. This recipe is adapted from my great grandmothers banana bread and is just as good with our without the coconut or you could sub in chopped walnuts if you like. I have adapted this recipe from the original to make it with whole wheat flour and removed all dairy and eggs. (if you prefer butter , use the same amount as the coconut oil and if you don't have flax, you can use 2 eggs, just omit the water) After weeks of recipe testing for ourselves, friends and family, I think we finally got it right!
Whole Wheat Coconut Banana Bread
- 3 large extra ripe bananas, mashed with a fork until only small lumps remain
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar,
- 3 tablespoons flax, ground
- 5 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon iodized salt
- 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
Preheat oven to 350. In a small cup or bowl combine the ground flax seed, water, and vanilla extract. Set aside. In mixer bowl, whip together coconut oil and sugar until evenly combine and mixture gets a slightly whipped look.

Delegates to the Libertarian Party's district convention elected three nominees Saturday to represent the party on the November ballot.
Brad Clardy of Lubbock, the owner of a tutoring business for Texas Tech University students, is the party's candidate for the 13th Congressional District, which includes Potter County.
Clardy will face incumbent U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, and Democrat Curtis Clinesmith, a Denton lawyer, in the Nov. 7 election.
Dr. John Turnbow, a Lubbock behavioral neurologist, was elected to represent the Libertarian Party in the 19th Congressional District, which includes Randall County.

Curriculum Overview
The Master of Science in Accounting Degree Program
The M.S. in Accounting Program is designed to provide the learning strategies, intellectual foundation, attitudes, and critical thinking skills needed for lifelong learning. This degree program is primarily directed toward those who seek a graduate professional degree and professional certification in accounting.
The degree program is available to students with diverse undergraduate degrees. The length of the program will vary depending on the accounting and business administration background the student possesses.
Specific Requirements for the Master of Science Degree
The Department of Accounting offers a graduate program of study leading to a 30 hour Master of Science degree. This includes 21-24 hours of graduate level accounting courses, and 6-9 hours of graduate level electives outside accounting.
Graduate Level Accounting Courses (21-24 hours)
Within the 21-24 hours of graduate level accounting courses, students are required to take the following courses (students having equivalent course work may seek waiver of any of these required courses):
ACC 630—Seminar in Contemporary Accounting Issues (3)

ACC 656—Taxation of Flow-Through Business Entities (3)
and one of the following:
ACC 631—Advanced Auditing (3)
ACC 638—Information Systems Auditing (3)
Additional hours to complete the 21-24 hours of graduate level accounting courses are selected from the following courses:
ACC 561—Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting (3)
ACC 613—Directed Studies in Accounting (1-3)
ACC 621—Accounting Internship (3)

Elective (6-9 hours)
With prior approval by the Director of the program, a student will select 6-9 hours of graduate courses outside of the department of accounting.
The Admission Procedure
Students must have a BA/BS degree for admission to the program. Students may be required to take prerequisite accounting and business courses depending on their academic background. The length of the program will vary from 12-48 months depending on the background, course choice, and enrollment status of the student. The average completion time is 18 months.
- Minimal criteria for admission will include a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0. The program targets a 3.5 GPA. Added weight will be given to grades in accounting and business classes, if appropriate.
- The MS in Accounting program requires an entrance exam. The student may take either the GMAT or the GRE for admission. The minimum score for admission is 500. The Department targets a score of at least 550.
- The undergraduate student may apply for admission in their senior year. The program admits new students in Fall and Spring semesters.
- The admission packet will consist of a completed application, official transcripts, official GMAT/GRE scores, 3 letters of recommendation, a personal essay, and the application fee of $60.
- Please see below for possible ways to waive the entrance exam requirement.
MS in Accounting Evening Option
Beginning in the Fall of 2014, the MSA program can be completed in a combination of evening and online classes. This program is designed for the working professional interested in achieving a MS in Accounting degree for career advancement. The core accounting graduate classes will be offered in the evening on a rotating schedule so that these 6 classes can be completed in three years. The student can choose accounting and non-accounting electives to complete the 30 required hours that are also offered either at night or online. Interested students should talk with an advisor to help plan this special curriculum. This is not a separate program so the application process is the same.
The Accelerated Bachelor's to Graduate Degree Program in Accounting (ADP)
The Accelerated Bachelor's to Graduate Degree Program (ADP) in Accounting is designed to provide a more efficient means to obtain a graduate degree. The program is for students who have a high GPA and want to start taking courses that will count towards both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. The University benefits from retaining its best students for advanced study and students benefit from the shortened time to degree.
The ADP allows a student to begin accumulating credits towards completion of a graduate degree while still enrolled as an undergraduate. Undergraduates participating in this program are given an early decision on their graduate application pending successful completion of the baccalaureate and are allowed to take specified graduate level courses during the last semester of their senior year.
A maximum of 3 graduate credits taken during their undergraduate career may be applied towards completion of their graduate degree as long as the following criteria are met:
- The course must be ACC 600, Professional Research,
- The student must earn a grade of "B" (3.0) or better in the course,
- The student must fulfill the graduate level requirements of the course.
This graduate-level course will count towards the baccalaureate degree and the graduate degree, and the grade will be recorded on the undergraduate transcript and later on the graduate transcript. The Graduate School will authorize the acceptance of this credit on the student's graduate record after the student has completed the undergraduate degree and has been admitted to the graduate program.
The ADP program in Accounting only accepts 3 graduate credit hours for the ACC 600 course in Professional Research.
The Admission Procedure for the Accelerated Degree Program
Beginning in the Spring of 2014,
- Minimal criteria for admission will include a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5 based on at least 30 hours earned at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro (UNCG),
- The Accounting Department also requires an Accounting GPA of at least 3.5 based on at least 9 semester hours of Accounting classes earned at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro (UNCG),
- The undergraduate student may not apply for admission to the ADP in Accounting before the first semester of the senior year and must have completed at least 60 semester credits, including ACC 318 with a minimum grade of B.
- The student must apply for admission to the ADP in Accounting through The Graduate School. The student will complete the application for the MS in Accounting degree as well as a petition for admission to the ADP in accounting. This admission, if approved, will include admission to the graduate degree granting academic unit after the baccalaureate degree is awarded. After admission into the ADP, the student will be identified as having ADP status through a student group within the records management system.
- If accepted into the ADP program in Accounting, the student will NOT be required to take the GMAT for acceptance into the MS in Accounting program as long as the student maintains a GPA of at least 3.0 with a minimum of a "B" in the course.
International students who are admitted into the ADP in Accounting will work with The Graduate School and the Office of International Affairs in order to apply for a visa extension.
The GMAT Waiver Requests
There are four ways an applicant may request a waiver for the GMAT exam:
- An applicant with a CPA license issued in or transferrable to North Carolina.
- An advanced degree (MA, MS, MBA)
- From at least a regionally accredited institution which required an entrance exam such as the GMAT; AND
- Minimum GPA of 3.3 out of 4.0; AND/OR
- Minimum of 2-years relevant professional work experience.

New restaurants pop up in Arlington all the time. Most are pretty flashy, with already well-known chefs, chic interiors and much fanfare surrounding news of their openings.
More telling of a restaurant's success, however, is it's under-the-radar fame, those with loyal patrons and simple, good food that makes a reputation for itself. Those establishments are much more rare and Kabob Palace in Crystal City is the perfect example.
Kabob Palace is the kind of place you hear about from word of mouth, personal recommendations from friends that have lived in Arlington for a while and not through Twitter trends. The interior is gaudily decorated, with large plastic signs and old paintings but the food is what makes people come back.
The kabobs are obviously the star here, with juicy and flavorful proteins of chicken, lamb and beef, while the famous chickpeas take the lead in terms of sides. Portions are more than generous and the fare is available 24 hours a day.

Determining the Reason for Heat Seal Adhesive Failure
A manufacturer's heat seal polymer adhesive failed to maintain an airtight seal after several days. The client contacted CHEMIR, as their production line was halted and their new product could not ship. Our client's new adhesive formula, a polyurethane-acrylic hot melt adhesive, was suspected to be the culprit. After deformulating the new and old formulas, the data showed important differences in the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, as well as the urethane-acrylic ratio. We determined that these variations were the reason why the adhesive failed. We suggested several formula changes, and the new formula resulted in successful hermetic seal.
Chemir is a member of SPI- The Plastics Industry Trade Association. Members of our team are also affiliated with SPE-The Society of Plastic Engineers.

- Donuts: Try making your own donuts using these recipes. You can use a donut pan and bake them rather than fry them.
- Danish
- Dates
- Dairy
Arts & Crafts:
- Check out D is for Daisy over at Green Olives & Ham.
- No Time For Flashcards has great letter of the week crafts including D is for Duck.
- Use a disc or other circular object and some foam or felt to make the face of a dog, duck, or dinosaur.
- Print out some dinosaur coloring pages.
- Let the children make art using the Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set.
Math & Science:
- Use a dishpan to setup a sensory table. Fill the dishpan with paper and include photos of letter D items like a door, dishes, dog, and dinosaur. You could also fill the dishpan with sand and include some shovels, a digger or dump truck, and other sand toys for digging in the sand.
- Give each child some dice. Ask them to roll the dice and count the dots. Talk about whose dice has the largest and smallest number of dots.
- Create some diamond shapes and other shapes using paper or foam. Hide them in different spots around the room and ask the children to go on a scavenger hunt in search of the diamond shapes.
- Using the diamond shapes from above in different sizes, have the children put them in order from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.
Pretend Play:
- Turn your dramatic play area into a Doctor's or Dentist's office. Have some scrubs available for the children to dress up in. Include a stethoscope and other "medical equipment", clipboard, stuffed animals and dolls as patients. If you have enough space, setup a waiting room with chairs and books.
- Turn your dramatic play area into a diner. Setup a small table and some chairs. Include a menu, bread basket, pitcher for water, play food, a chalkboard with the specials listed, cash register, a host (ess) desk and server station.
Music & Movement:
- Take out the toy drums so the children can play and dance.
- While the children are playing drums, sing some of these letter D songs.

It also encompasses Baymedix FG foams for wound dressings and Baymedix AT topical tissue adhesives that are currently in development. These products can be used as an alternative to stitching materials for medical wound closure.
In addition to covering the existing product lines, the new trade name will also be applied to materials designed to meet specialized medical needs. The customization is an important component of Bayer MaterialScience's growth strategy for the medical market.
At the core of the Baymedix family of products is Bayer MaterialScience's decades-long experience as a leader in polyurethanes and polycarbonates. With the new brand name, Bayer MaterialScience underscores its commitment to providing solutions to the medical device industry. Part of this commitment is the decision to establish an in-house development and application center and to set up dedicated production lines.
"We want to build a strong brand identity around all our various materials activities in the medical device market," explains Chris Koppenborg, an expert in medical products at Bayer MaterialScience. "We want the Baymedix name to become synonymous with service, quality, and innovation in this industry."
While Bayer MaterialScience has a decades-long history of supplying medical-grade thermoplastic resins such as Makrolon polycarbonate and Texin thermoplastic polyurethane, the Baymedix name refers to its new biomaterials segment. The company intends to aggressively grow this coatings-related medical business in the next few years through new product launches, increased marketing, and enhanced customer support.

Amino acid analysis of a meteorite fragment of asteroid 2008 TC3 called Almahata Sitta was carried out using reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled with UV fluorescence detection and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-FD/ToF-MS) as part of a sample analysis consortium. LC-FD/ToF-MS analyses of hot-water extracts from the meteorite revealed a complex distribution of two- to seven-carbon aliphatic amino acids and one- to three-carbon amines with abundances ranging from 0.5 to 149 parts-per-billion (ppb). The enantiomeric ratios of the amino acids alanine, β-amino-n-butyric acid, 2-amino-2-methylbutanoic acid (isovaline), and 2-aminopentanoic acid (norvaline) in the meteorite were racemic (d/l ∼ 1), indicating that these amino acids are indigenous to the meteorite and not terrestrial contaminants. Several other nonprotein amino acids were also identified in the meteorite above background levels including α-aminoisobutyric acid (α-AIB), 4-amino-2-methylbutanoic acid, 4-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid, and 3-, 4-, and 5-aminopentanoic acid. The total abundances of isovaline and α-AIB in Almahata Sitta are approximately 1000 times lower than the abundances of these amino acids found in the CM carbonaceous chondrite Murchison. The extremely low abundances and unusual distribution of five-carbon amino acids in Almahata Sitta compared to CI, CM, and CR carbonaceous chondrites may reflect extensive thermal alteration of amino acids on the parent asteroid by partial melting during formation or subsequent impact shock heating. It is also possible that amino acids were synthesized by catalytic reactions on the parent body after asteroid 2008 TC3 cooled to lower temperatures, or introduced as a contaminant from unrelated meteorite clasts and chemically altered by α-decarboxylation.

Out diver Tom Daley's TV show Splash! dumped after ratings crash
LAST UPDATED // Thursday, 26 June 2014 10:54 Written by // Sabine Brix
Out Olympic diver Tom Daley's reality TV show Splash! has been axed in the UK.
The reality TV show, which saw Daley act as a diving coach to celebrities who competed against one another, had been hanging in the balance according to an insider at the ITV network.
The end of the series comes as Daley prepares for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
According to the source "Tom's diving comes first. But we love having him on the channel and are looking at other project for him."
The final of the show which aired in the UK in February attracted 4.4 million viewers, down 2 million from the previous year.
Watch the final of Splash!
Daley made headlines in 2013 after coming out as bisexual in a YouTube video, confirming he was in a relationship with a man.
He has since confirmed in April 2014 that he is no longer interested in dating women, and it has been revealed that the man referred to in the YouTube video is Hollywood director Dustin Lance Black.
