Xm360 2.0a Public Release
Posted 17 September 2010 - 02:33 AM
Posted 17 September 2010 - 04:48 AM
A little more info on the activity just pre-crash:
The crash occurs a few seconds after the "button" with the IP of the other system is clicked. All of the XBLA on the screen at the time are marked with the "L" for local, and the USB drive scanning seems to begin. Then the screen glitches (text blurs and moves a little to the side/half of screen goes blank/random garbage) and the system shuts down/reboots.
If there is any other info I can give, or any testing I can help with, just let me know.

Nah, this one will probably end up being trivial once I can make it happen in my dev environment. I'll be trying that this weekend.
mine reboots just for launching it, black screen, will never scan/make the index...
Sounds like a bad install/bad download/bad something...this issue has never been reported by anyone else.

the purpose of xmserver is? isnt that the same thing as flashfxp?
Posted 17 September 2010 - 11:48 PM
used the latest xm360 on both boxes, as soon as it find a connection it freezes
i tried it both boxes
if i start a connection on a box and then turn the other box and as soon as it gets to the dashboard the xbox that initiated the connection freezes
i am not sure why but thats my problem
would the ping patch have anything to do with this?

I tried disabling the ping patch and the unlicensed content patch to see if maybe they were the issue. Still freezing, so I'm thinking it's not them. It may be Dashlaunch itself, but I don't really feel like building and flashing another freeboot image to test it. Node21 said he'd check it out over the weekend on his new DevKit, which is awesome of him to do, though I'd much rather have a new version of FreestyleDash to play with than a fixed XM360 (hint, hint). ;^)

reproduced. Easy fix.
on your end, or ours?
i actually prefer the old style freestyle than the new. but maybe just cause its in beta.

So, my 360 has a ton of content on the USB drive. I'd like to setup the server and keep the two in sync. Awesome feature.
My XBOX config looks like:
# config file for xm360 ("xm360.cfg")
# XM360 looks for this file first in Hdd1:\config\xm360 (Hdd1:\config\xm360\xm360.cfg)
# if it can't find it there, it falls back to game:\xm360.cfg
## DLC_IGNORE_PATH is the path where the file "dlc_excludes.csv" will be read/written
## DLC_REPORT_PATH is the path where the file "dlc_report.txt" will be written
## DLC_TITLES_PATH is the path where the file "dlc_titles.csv" will be read (used to override the built in version)
## XBLA_IGNORE_PATH is the path where the file "xbla_excludes.csv" will be read/written
## XBLA_REPORT_PATH is the path where the file "xbla_report.txt" will be written
## XBLA_TITLES_PATH is the path where the file "xbla_titles.csv" will be read (used to override the built in version)
## The available prefixes are Hdd1:, usb: (first found mounted usb device), usb0:, usb1:, usb2:, usbmu0:, usbmu1:)
## in all cases, the default value is usb:\
## only the TITLES_PATH values will fall back to the built in version if nothing is found
## New in version 1.5 is REPORT_PATH which supercedes XBLA_REPORT_PATH and DLC_REPORT_PATH
## It allows a single definition for all report paths, including Game Saves.
## XBLA and DLC_REPORT_PATH are still understood, and will override REPORT_PATH which defaults to usb:
REPORT_PATH = usb:
DLC_IGNORE_PATH = usb:
#DLC_IGNORE_PATH = hdd1:\config\xm360
#DLC_REPORT_PATH = usb:
XBLA_IGNORE_PATH = usb:
#XBLA_IGNORE_PATH = hdd1:\config\xm360
#XBLA_REPORT_PATH = usb:
## User and Password for the ftpd. If config isn't found, xbox/xbox will be used/
FTP_USER = xbox
FTP_PASS = xbox
## TIME_SERVER_IP is the IP to connect to to find out the current time.
## TIME_SERVER_IP default if this entry isn't found is 220.127.116.11
## Make it empty to skip setting the time
## EXTRA_XBLA_SEARCH_PATH will be search for XBLA in addition to the built in places
## trailing slash will be trimmed if it is there
## the default value is empty
## Configuration of other 360s to find looks like this.
## The label is optional (but displayed in the UI if provided)
## The login and password is optional (both default to 'xbox')
## The port is optional (and will default to 21)
## Whatever is after the last underscore ('_') has to be unique for each connection
## It is fine to configure ALL of your boxes (including the local one) since XM360 will filter out the local one.
## That makes it easy to share your xm360.cfg on all of your boxes.
OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LABEL_1 = Server
OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LOGIN_1 = xbox
OTHER_XBOX_FTP_PASS_1 = xbox
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LABEL_2 = Family Room
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LOGIN_2 = xbox
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_PASS_2 = xbox
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LABEL_3 = Office
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_LOGIN_3 = xbox
#OTHER_XBOX_FTP_PASS_3 = xbox
## Horizontal and Verticle overscan can be specified. If they aren't found, they default to 0
## CONTENT_BIN_PATH specifies where the content.bin file is stored. It defaults to "game:"
#CONTENT_BIN_PATH = hdd1:\config\xm360
And my server config looks like:
# The following drives can be defined Hdd1, Usb0, Usb1, Usb2, MemUnit0, MemUnit1, OnBoardMU, UsbMU0, UsbMU0Cache, UsbMU1, UsbMU1Cache
# At least one drive must be defined otherwise nothing is going to work. I suggest defining Hdd1 at least.
# Absolute paths like c:\foo and UNC paths like \\server\share\path are both supported.
# You shouldn't nest them, or you will end up with duplicates. In other words, don't define Usb0 to be a branch of Hdd1
#DEFINE_HDD1 = \\share\public\console images\xbox360\jtag
DEFINE_HDD1 = D:\Content Server
#DEFINE_USB0 = e:\temp\USB
#CONTENT_BIN_PATH must be defined as an xbox 360 path, it defaults to Hdd1:\
CONTENT_BIN_PATH = Usb0:\Content\
# The FTP user, password and port can be defined, but they will default to xbox, xbox, 21 otherwise
#FTP_USER = xbox
#FTP_PASSWORD = xbox
I can connect from the XBOX just fine. I then go to do the initial "Push" from the xbox. Each item in the content window shows "Queued". One by one it looks like it is uploading to the server. After about 4 or 5, the XBOX reboots. On the server, I don't see any messages in the DOS window. The location for where I want my content to go shows a "content.bin" only.
What have I obviously done wrong?
Posted 19 September 2010 - 05:27 PM
I don't know what would cause the reboot...but here's what you've obviously done wrong....
The path on the "server" where files get stored MUST mirror the exact path that they reside on the 360.
In your case, you indicated that your content is on USB:, but your server config doesn't have a drive mapping for that device (it's commented out near the top). Give the server some idea of where it should store USB: content, and it should all be fine.

Thanks for the donation!

Ahhh, ok. For whatever reason, I interpreted the options in the configuration as only requiring ONE location. So I've now defined a HDD1 and USB location on my server.
The files are now copying with no issues so far so that appears to have resolved the reset issue.
Posted 20 September 2010 - 12:09 AM
Posted 20 September 2010 - 09:07 PM
My XBLA content is on the USB, whereas the DLC and Updates are on the internal HDD. My XBLA syncs just fine. My Content is located:
Usb0:\Content (XBLA Here)
Hdd1:\Content (DLC)
Hdd1:\Cache (Title Updates)
Is there a way to add three CONTENT_BIN_PATH locations or something?
My server config looks
DEFINE_HDD1 = D:\Content Server\HDD
DEFINE_USB0 = D:\Content Server\USB
CONTENT_BIN_PATH = Usb0:\Content\
Things may have changed, but back when I first JTAG'd, DLC and Title Updates HAD to be on the internal HDD and XBLA could be located on the external USB drive. Hence my seperation of content

I'd love to see mods for the 1.0
I too have a friend who wants me to put together a rig for him.
I'm torn because I don't think Enrico and the Sublimator are actually deserving...
Hey @CheeseSandwich
How come you haven't been using it?
Haven't heard any credible feedback, good or bad, regarding the XLR; that thread never really got traction.
@Joe Deer 750 Euros? I hope that's for the entire rig, not that the price is justified even then.
I recommend the Adapt-a-Bong kits and using...
You should definitely be using your ABV then; at that colour you are far from extracting all the goodness available.
My ABV is generally dark to...
I really thank my lucky stars I don't have a timer.
Being able to leave it on 24/7 is a blessing.
I think it would taint the taste a little, but it would not in any way impact the potency of the rest of the reclaim.
Maybe you were too high and imagined the entire thing?
Nice to see you alive and kicking @jambandphan03
Have you still been keeping the old-school sub running 24/7?
Where are the other old...
I got an email notification of a new reply to the thread, but there seems to be a phantom present...
Interesting how you've had the Sublimator for two years when it was only made available just over a year ago.
I think the fact that the last post in the *new* Sublimator for "eXtremely Ludicrous Retards" thread was almost three weeks ago speaks volumes...
Hahahahahaha. Oh I LOVED that @Been Vapin
I guess they started that after first gen.
Is your Apollo engraved?
Mine too was at 48 max out of the gate; wondering why some people have it up to 60.
@jambandphan03 what is your max wattage?
I think we're in the very small population that still has the first ever iteration with just the lamp...
No problem!
Did you happen to take any photos?
Do you mean your Apollo?
Because the voiding of the warranty applies to the Apollo, not the Atomizer.
Hot metal has its own smell; if you don't smell anything, your Apollo isn't hot enough.

Private Health Insurance:
Federal and State Requirements Affecting Coverage Offered by Small Business
GAO-03-1133: Published: Sep 30, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 2, 2003.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-7059
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Most employees in the U.S. have health coverage through employers. Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, however, are less likely to offer coverage than larger businesses. Many say they cannot afford it. When they do provide coverage, small businesses typically purchase insurance policies, while larger businesses are more likely to use their own funds to pay for some of their employees' health care, a practice known as self-funding. One proposal to make health coverage more affordable for small businesses would establish Association Health Plans (AHP), which could offer coverage to small businesses subject to different federal and state requirements than currently exist. In light of this proposal, GAO was asked to summarize current federal and state requirements for health coverage offered by small businesses, including mandated benefits, premium-setting requirements, and requirements regarding availability of coverage. To identify these requirements, GAO reviewed federal and selected states' laws and literature from the Department of Labor (DOL), National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), and other sources. For further detail on some states' insurance requirements, GAO reviewed 8 states with a range in the number of mandated benefits and 4 states with different types of premiumsetting requirements.
Federal law does not require private employers of any size to offer health coverage, nor does it require those that do offer coverage to include specific benefits. However, employers choosing to offer mental health, mastectomy, and maternity benefits generally must meet certain federal requirements. States, which have primary responsibility for regulating insurers, require health insurance policies offered by businesses of any size to include certain benefits, but the number, type, and scope of these requirements vary substantially among states. For example, 7 states each had 30 or more benefit mandates, while 5 states each had fewer than 10 benefit mandates. Federal requirements for premiums prohibit variation among similarly situated individuals in an employer group for businesses of any size based on health status, and these requirements apply whether the employer purchases health insurance or self-funds the health coverage. State requirements that limit premium variation among small businesses apply only to insurers, therefore affecting only employers that purchase health coverage from insurers. State requirements varied widely in the extent to which they restricted the amount that premiums may vary among small businesses and in the characteristics of the groups that may be used to set premiums. Differences among states in whether and how factors such as age, gender, and health status are considered can affect the extent to which small businesses with employees having higher risk factors pay more for coverage. For example, a small business with older, higher-risk employees and dependents in Texas could have been charged nearly four times as much as a small business of the same size with younger, healthier employees and dependents. In New York, the two small businesses would have been charged the same premium. Most states also had restrictions on how premiums may be adjusted at renewal. Federal laws require insurers selling coverage to small businesses to make all policies available and require that employers offer continuation of health coverage for a period of time for certain individuals who otherwise would lose group coverage. All but one state had laws that conformed with federal requirements for small businesses, and some states' requirements exceeded the federal minimums. For example, 39 states extended the federal continuation of coverage requirements to policies covering groups with fewer than 20 employees. The DOL, NAIC, and 10 states provided technical comments on a draft of this report, which were incorporated as appropriate. NAIC also provided written comments emphasizing, among other things, the importance of states' consumer protections.

Iran Has Had Enough of the Mullahs
A Truth and Reconciliation Commission could smooth the transition.
Thirty years ago, millions of Iranians took to the streets to demonstrate for their fundamental rights. They demanded the basic freedoms of Azadi-e Baian, Azadi-e Qalam, Azadi-e Andish-e: freedom of speech, freedom to write, and freedom of thought. They called for independence. And they demanded the end of the monarchy and the establishment of an Islamic republic.
But the revolution of 1979, which began with the hope of freedom, has ended in the rule of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mr. Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust and boasts that he would wipe Israel, a member of the United Nations, off the map. Many Iranians like me feel deep shame at this anti-Semitism.
This week's protests prove that the people of Iran -- the children of the revolution -- will accept the rule of the mullahs no more. The regime is no longer able to exercise sovereignty over the Iranian people without resorting to extreme violence.
Iran is now at a crossroads. Either the will of the people will be accepted and a peaceful transition to democracy will take place, or the regime will respond to these massive demonstrations by unleashing a bloodbath.
The essential question: Can a regime, despised by a huge majority of the population, transform itself into a democracy that recognizes the rule of law? Has such a transition ever taken place without bloodshed?
The surprising answer is yes. South Africa's apartheid regime was also hated by the majority of the people. Even though the apartheid regime was extremely violent, South Africa opted for a peaceful transition under the brilliant leadership of Nelson Mandela.
They negotiated to guarantee the interests -- including security and property rights -- of the ruling minority. At the same time, they developed a transitional constitution. This model was centered around the principles of human rights and democracy.
What happened in South Africa could happen in Iran as well. But everything depends on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He may, like former South African President F.W. de Klerk, decide to create an opportunity for transition. Or he may, as he has done in the past, choose to suppress the will of the people with violence. Millions of Iranians trust Mir Hossein Mousavi. He could play the role that Mr. Mandela played in the peaceful transition in South Africa.
If such a transition occurs, people will ask what will happen to those who perpetrated crimes against humanity, such as the mass executions committed in the name of the Islamic state. Here the precedent set by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa can provide a possible model.
The United Nations could play a crucial role. Though the U.N. has many weaknesses, it has a strong track record in what is known as transitional justice. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon should discuss potential involvement in Iran with the Security Council. Would this be an infringement of Iranian sovereignty? No.
The Security Council should concern itself with the Iranian question because an Iran wracked by violent internal conflict is a threat to regional peace and security -- not to mention a threat to the citizens of Iran. Furthermore, an unstable Iran with advanced missiles and enriched radioactive material poses a severe threat internationally. The U.N. can help persuade Iran's leaders that a peaceful transition is possible. Ultimately it is Iranians -- including those living abroad -- who must make this change happen.
The mothers of the members of my family who were executed during the years of terror since 1979 will not forgive the present leaders. But they will let them withdraw peacefully for the sake of their grandchildren's freedom.
Mr. Ellian was born in Tehran and teaches philosophy of law at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

by Karole Passmore, GWC
For years, buying local has been a cornerstone of the GoWayneCounty.com message. Highlighting new and firmly planted local businesses and local events is what we love to do. We also know that buying local strengthens our economy and supports families who provide services we all need and enjoy, and we care because this is where we live.
Many years ago Jack Humphrey, founder and editor of GoWayneCounty.com, made the decision to return to Richmond after years of being away at college and then for his career in environmental and non-profit leadership.
Upon returning to his home town, his endeavors to highlight all the good things happening in Wayne County began with the question, which also was the editorial article in our first print edition "What is there to do in Wayne County?" And he soon learned there was a lot. So much that at times he and later all of us working for GWC had a hard time keeping up with everything.
GWC is a family affair
GWC is a family affair and many of the hours we spend at events and writing are donated time we give to support the community where we live, work and play.
We value the hard work that local businesses put in each day, long after many have finished their eight or nine hour shifts. If you look into shops downtown or in the Depot district on any given night you may see a light in the back where merchants are meeting to discuss a new idea, or they may be building or remodeling, designing, cooking or cleaning up after a late catering job.
Our family understands this hard work because for Jack and his wife Constance Humphrey, this is how they live as well. Their work owning businesses and running them from their home offices will often entail working seven days a week. Even at family gatherings, Jack will often be seen checking in with partners or clients on his phone that never leaves his side. Customer service is key for them in their line of work. And at some point, all of us have owned our own businesses in our family.
So many choices
So when we think of the holidays and who we will support, our family feels it is imperative to support the small businesses that are local and often family-owned. And there are many of them to choose from. Downtown alone there are several new store fronts that have opened to the public in the past 2-6 months. And all of them opened after weeks of hard manual labor, and a lack of sleep for the owners who have had a dream and want to share that with their community.
The Depot District in Richmond is also a hot bed of local merchants as well as Wayne County towns from Centerville through Cambridge City and Hagerstown. New businesses are popping up that are providing food, entertainment, art, gifts, jobs, and so much more. They are offering a vision for what it means to work hard and achieve a dream. One day they woke up and said "I want to do this for my community" knowing that it was a risk, knowing it would take an inordinate amount of time and physical effort. And yet they pushed through with their dream- and they are open.
How can we make sure our favorite stores stay open?
And now it is our responsibility as a community to welcome them and embrace their dream as well. They are the backbone of our communities offering high quality products that are selected, made and served with the highest of ideals.
So this holiday season, and all year round, remember that making a difference in our community means keeping our support local as much as possible so we can keep these unique shops in the business of providing excellent services for all of us to enjoy.
Please check back with GoWayneCounty.com regularly to hear more about the wonderful choices we have for shopping local.
Small Business Saturday is November 28, 2015- shop local and make a difference!

John Gilbert Brogden AM (born 28 March 1969) is an Australian businessman and former politician. He was appointed the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) in January 2015. Brogden is Chairman of Lifeline Australia, Chairman of UrbanGrowth NSW, and Chairman of the Broken Bay Institute. He is also Chairman of Furlough House Retirement Village
He was Leader of the Opposition in New South Wales from 2002 to 2005. He was a Liberal Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from May 1996 until his resignation in August 2005, representing the electorate of Pittwater. After politics, he served as the CEO and chairperson of various organisations in the financial services sector. He is a leading advocate for suicide prevention.[citation needed]
Early life and family[edit]
Brogden was born in Balmain and raised in Sydney. His father Gilbert Arthur Brogden, a carpenter, was born in Taranaki, New Zealand in 1933 and emigrated to Australia in 1960. His mother, Judith Anne (née Bourne), was a secretary. He was educated at St Joan of Arc, Haberfield, St Patrick's College, Strathfield and the University of Sydney where he gained a Master of Public Affairs (MPA).[citation needed]
His wife Lucy is an organisational psychologist, Patron of Partners in Depression, Patron of the Sydney Women's Fund, Commissioner of the National Mental Health Commission and Governor of Queenwood School for Girls. They have three children.[1][2]
Political career[edit]
John Brogden joined the Liberal Party in his final year of high school in 1986. Between 1989 and 1994 he was an adviser to Attorney General John Hannaford, Premier John Fahey and Police Minister Ted Pickering. From 1992 to 1993 he was President of the NSW Division of the Young Liberals, and a member of the NSW Division's State Executive. In 1994, he served a year as Treasurer of the Young Liberal Movement of Australia. He rejoined the State Executive in 1995 elected as a Metropolitan Representative.[citation needed]
From 1994 to 1995 Brogden was a consultant at public affairs company Cosway Australia. From 1995 to 1996 he was a Senior Adviser at the Credit Union Services Corporation (CUSCAL).[citation needed]
Brogden was elected to the NSW Legislative Assembly as the Member for Pittwater in May 1996 in a by election following the resignation of former Fahey Government Minister Jim Longley. In 1999 he was promoted to the Shadow Ministry as the Shadow Minister for Urban Affairs and Planning, Sydney Water and Youth Affairs.
In the leadup to the 2003 election, Opposition Leader Kerry Chikarovski was struggling in the polls against Premier Bob Carr. On 25 March 2002, Brogden announced a challenge. Three days later on 28 March 2002,[3] he succeeded in a 15–14 vote, becoming the youngest ever leader of a state or federal Liberal Party.[citation needed] On becoming Opposition Leader, he resigned from his previous portfolios, but took on the new shadow ministries of Ethnic Affairs and Treasury.
At the 2003 election the Liberal won one seat from Labor and lost one to Labor. Notwithstanding the electoral defeat, Brogden improved his and the party's standing in the polls over the next two years. For part of 2005 the Coalition was in front of Labor[citation needed], with many people believing that Brogden would win the 2007 election, especially when Bob Carr resigned from politics and Morris Iemma was elected as the new Premier.[4]
Meanwhile, Brogden confronted the government over a number of issues, often focussing on health and police corruption. He aggressively pursued the Carr government over its involvement in the Orange Grove affair, in which a shopping centre was shut down, allegedly for zoning reasons, amidst claims of political pressure from The Westfield Group, which ran a neighbouring shopping centre.
Despite the improvement in the opposition's opinion-poll ratings during 2004 and early 2005, Brogden's hopes that he would gain the premiership in 2007 were not to be fulfilled. He came under fire for offensive behaviour at a function in Sydney on 29 July 2005. At this function, he was quoted by the media as having described Helena Carr, the Premier's Malaysian-born wife, as a "mail-order bride".[5] More specifically, Brogden said Carr could "ship his mail-order bride back to where she came from, for all I care". Brogden later publicly apologised for this remark.[6] He was also accused of unwelcome sexual advances to two unnamed female journalists at the same function (ABC's Lateline reported that he "propositioned" one journalist, and pinched another's buttocks).[5] Brogden alleged that Alex Hawke (a future Liberal member of the federal parliament) was responsible for leaking information to the media.[7]
As a result of the controversy, Brogden resigned as Leader of the NSW Opposition on 29 August. Nevertheless, he announced his intention to remain as the Member for Pittwater.[8][9]
The next day, 30 August, police attended Brogden's electorate office at around 10.30 pm, after concerns were raised by members of his family. They found him apparently unconscious in a back room, having slit his wrists, apparently in a drug- and alcohol-induced stupor.[10][11]
When the Sydney Morning Herald called Liberal frontbencher Barry O'Farrell at about 11 pm to question him about possible leadership contention, he told them, "Excuse me if I say I don't care about the leadership at the moment, but I am following an ambulance with John Brogden inside. He has attempted self-harm. It sort of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?".[12][13]
Brogden was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital that night, and discharged the following day into respite care at a nearby psychiatric facility. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Brogden's actions were a suicide attempt. On 1 September, Brogden and his wife issued a short statement thanking people who had sent messages of support, and inviting people wishing to help further to donate to beyondblue, an anti-depression organisation.[14]
It was on 28 September that Brogden left the legislature. A by-election was held for the seat of Pittwater, and this was won by an independent candidate, Alex McTaggart.[15][16] At the 2007 state election McTaggert was defeated by Liberal candidate Robert Gordon Stokes, a former adviser to Brogden.
Business career[edit]
Since 2015, Brogden has been the MD & CEO at the AICD. He is currently the Chairman of UrbanGrowth NSW, the Broken Bay Institute and Lifeline Australia and has served in the roles since 2012. Brogden also currently serves as Chairman of Furlough House Retirement Village, a role which he has held since 2011.
Prior to his role with the AICD, Brogden served as CEO of the Financial Services Council from 2009 to 2015 and as CEO of Manchester Unity from 2006 to 2008.
Brogden was a Director of NIA Ltd from 2011 until 2015, a Director of the Sydney Ports Corporation from 2010 to 2012 and an Independent Chairman of Abacus - Australia Mutuals from 2006 to 2009.
John Brogden also holds honorary positions as the Patron of Kookaburra Kids, Sailability Pittwater, Bilgola Surf Lifesaving Club and Avalon Beach Surf Lifesaving Club.

Out There International Festival of Street Arts & Circus
The Out There Festival of International Street Arts & Circus Entertainment returned to the streets of Great Yarmouth for the eighth time over the weekend of Friday 18 September through to Sunday 20 September 2015 and the sun shone all weekend.
Produced by SeaChange Arts, Out There blends major international acts and local artists with the opportunity for everyone to try their hand in a range of crazy activities. The 2015 festival showcased acts from all over Europe with stunning acrobatics, light shows, music, pyrotechnics and bizarre antics - it was totally 'Out There'.
This year's big outdoor headline show was Tambours de la Muerte (Drums of Death), by renowned French company Transe Express. A processional performance, based on the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead and featuring gigantic skeleton puppets, stilt walkers and masked drummers, took to the night-time streets for a spectacular show full of acrobatics, dance, music, flames and fireworks.
Festival favourites Dizzy O Dare were back with Body of Wires, their new wire walking show, produced by Seachange. Belgium's Full Stop Acrobatic Theatre explored masculinity and femininity in Outside the Boxm, a show combining circus, dance and theatre. The crazy, anarchic clowning of a dysfunctional family were celebrated in The Hogwallops by Lost in Translation Circus, Seachange's own resident company.
Beautiful St George's Park and the town centre's vibrant Market Place were the main settings for the weekend programme of events, offering visitors unique and thrilling entertainment, free of charge.
To keep up with the latest festival news for 2016 visit the Out There Festival section of Seachange Arts website. This year's festival is scheduled for Friday 16 September through to Sunday 18 September 2016.

"First rate and highly recommended."--Lee Child
"Engrossing, engaging, psychologically complex...builds to a shocking conclusion."
--Publishers Weekly
(Book 2 of the Jimmy Vega Mystery Series)
A body is discovered in a reservoir in upscale Lake Holly, NY. The victim is young, female and Hispanic. In her purse, police find a photo of a baby. Where is the child? Is she alive? And what about the disturbing note found at the scene? GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY. YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
Homicide Detective Jimmy Vega knows how hard it can be to walk the razor-thin line of acceptance in a place like Lake Holly. Reluctantly turning to Adele Figueroa, a passionate defender of immigrants' rights, Vega must confront a small town's darkest secrets before they savagely tear apart the world he's sworn to defend.
Land of Careful Shadows

Suzanne Chazin
A Blossom of Bright Light
A split-second decision thrusts Detective Jimmy Vega into the epicenter of a case when a body is found near a gathering place for immigrants in upscale Lake Holly, NY. The innocence of the victim torments Vega. But so too, does the feeling he's to blame. Or is he?
In a community gripped by fear of deportation, Vega needs the help of his girlfriend, activist Adele Figueroa, to gain people's trust. But Adele is consumed by a secret that threatens to tear them apart. To confront the killer and save their relationship, Vega and Adele must forge a new level of trust--in each other, and in their most deeply held beliefs.

Homo The Gay American Novel
posted by December 12 at 12:30 PMon
California passed a law that protects gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans students from discrimination—and straight students too, since these laws protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation, period, they don't provide queer students with special rights or a force field to call their own. The American Taliban is crapping itself about this law and since they can't argue for discrimination against queer students they're screaming and yelling about the law's terrifying implicit mandates.
The potential effects of the new law could be staggering.
"If the children read a novel, for example, like Gone with the Wind where you have a heterosexual romance, then they also have to, based on this language, read a homosexual novel," Dacus said.
The law wouldn't require that, of course, but that's not going to stop the American Taliban from claiming it does. When it comes to gays and lesbians, the commandment against false witness doesn't apply. But rest assured, Mr. Dacus, your kids won't be required to read a gay novel after they've read Gone With the Wind. Because a gayer novel hasn't been written. Any student that reads Gone with the Wind has met both his slavery apologia novel and gay novel requirements.

Cranbrook Art Museum Collection
Cranbrook Art Museum's collections document outstanding examples of art, architecture and design from the 20th and 21st centuries, with a special interest in recognizing the history and innovations of Cranbrook and the achievements of its artists.
Collections Wing Tours
1pm every Friday
Learn more here.
About the Collections Wing
In 2011, Cranbrook Art Museum completed a two-year, $22 million construction project that included a complete renovation of the 1942 Eliel Saarinen-designed Museum and also added a new 30,000-square-foot, state-of-art Collections Wing.
The Collections Wing makes accessible the Museum's permanent collection of over 6,500 works of art, architecture, and design from the Arts and Crafts Movement to the present. This open display is transformational, allowing students, academics, and artists easy access to decades of modern and contemporary works. Cranbrook Educational Community's extensive Archives and Cultural Properties collections are also housed in the facility.
The Museum's collection of art and objects includes sculpture, paintings, models and drawings, ceramics, glass, furniture, textiles, and metalwork, and it is renowned for its variety – with the decorative, applied, and fine arts all represented–its depth, and its unrivaled quality. Among the many treasures owned by Cranbrook Art Museum are works by Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Bridget Riley, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Maija Grotell, Peter Voulkos, Eliel, Eero, Loja and Pipsan Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Marianne Strengell, Marshall Fredericks, Carl Milles, Arthur Neville Kirk, Paul Manship, and William Morris.
The new Collections Wing is located to the northeast of the historic Saarinen Museum and houses the new, visible collections spaces, a woodshop, photography studio, loading dock, and a 10'x15′ freight elevator to facilitate the transport of artworks within the building. A seminar/conference space is intended for focused instruction regarding the collection. The SmithGroup JJR, through their office in Detroit, was the architect for both the restoration and the new building.
Also unique to the facility is a series of 12-foot high zinc-clad steel panels that enclose the Collections Wing's service court. The panels act as a counterpoint to the lead-coated copper panels on the red brick 2002 New Studios Building, designed by noted Spanish architect, Rafael Moneo.
In addition to serving as a resource for academics, public tours of the Collections Wing are offered at 1pm every Friday, year-round.

For "Bird On A Wire," Action Bronson links up with Soulja Boy affiliate Riff Raff over a woozy beat. The unlikely collaboration comes together surprisingly well, considering that one might expect this white rapper combination to be a little unnatural. The video features Riff Raff brown-bagging it and Bronson spending most of the clip with two spliffs hanging out of his mouth. For an added element of surprise, it's also got cameos from Alchemist and Dirt Nasty. Watch it above.

I can define which roles shall be moderator, but I find no way to delete unwanted chat posts.
I'd like to second this, although it might be 9 months ago. I know one can clear the full chat log, but I can't see much use for moderators. A moderator likes to remove one post most of the time.
We bought the premium version of this plugin and like to have this feature (it's necessary to be honest).
I would like to ask how to delete posts anyway. I mean just normal posts. Where is the option.
Hey there!
I think you need to ask a moderator to do it, not sure though
My question was related to chat posts made by the Chat plugin. How can the moderator delete one.
I think the only way is is to delete them in database directly - from wordpress I go to database-empty/drop tables ... choose empty mp_chat_message... empty and that it is. If you want to delete only single message you can to it inside msql base, but not in real time. Maybe payed version has more options.

Proper dance and performing arts training is beneficial in so many ways. Thorough technique promotes good posture and coordination, muscle strength and flexibility. Good training promotes musical appreciation and artistic and creative expression as students learn to channel their energy constructively. Dance and theater arts training encourages poise, style and polish, giving a healthy respect for one's body and mind. Discipline learned in the dance and theater classes can be applied to life and school work as students learn to be better organized and gain responsibility and admiration for themselves and for the others in class.
Nurturing yet professional teaching techniques are the cornerstone of the Grossi Dance & Performing Arts Academy.
Some of the members of our youngest company, the preps, danced at NADAA yesterday in Springfield, MA with master teacher Jon Merced.

Düsseldorf Workshop on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twitter Analysis (#diata11)
14.-15. September, 2011, Düsseldorf, Germany
Convened by the Junior Researchers Group "Science and the Internet" (nfgwin.uni-duesseldorf.de) and the Media Ecologies and Methodological Innovation Project (cci.edu.au/projects/media-ecologies-and-methodological-innovation).
Browse the workshop program (including slides and abstracts) here or download it as a PDF.
Reflections on DIATA11 by Axel Bruns, Axel Maireder and Jan Schmidt.
Since its launch in 2006 Twitter has turned from a niche service to a mass phenomenon.The service is estimated to have at least 80 million users who post over 65 million tweets per day and is increasingly used as a source of information and place of debate in news, politics, business and entertainment around the world. In addition to areas such as journalism, marketing, political activism and disaster response, millions of private users chat with their friends and share photos via Twitter, using the service as a virtual log of their thoughts and activities. The massive amount of data generated by Twitter users, both private and professional, opens up exciting new possibilities of study in a variety of disciplines. Rich data sets can be retrieved and subsequently mined with specialized tools (programming languages, statistics packages, network analysis frameworks, text and data mining tools) via the Twitter API. However, the opportunities of these new approaches are matched by challenges in relation to aspects such as long-term availability of data, research ethics, interpretation of user-generated information and the relation of qualitative and quantitative, as well as user-based and content-based research approaches.
The one and a half day workshop is jointly convened by NFGWin and the Media Ecologies Project under the ATN-DAAD Australia Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme will seek to address these challenges and bring together researchers from different disciplines (broadly, from the Social Sciences and Humanities) investigating Twitter or using Twitter as a source of data. Workshop themes will include, but not be limited to:
Research areas
- political activism and engagement
- disaster response and preparedness
- relation of social and mass media / journalism
- user generated content / co-creation
- memes and socio-communicative practices
- privacy and identity management
- (micro)celebrity
New and established research methods
- data retrieval and storage via the Twitter API with cURL, Ruby, Python, R, …
- using cloud-based services for automated harvesting
- tools for data mining and visualization
- machine learning and categorization procedures
- qualitative vs. quantitative, content-based vs. user-based research approaches: where to use what
- qualitative analysis of twitter events
- user interviews / ethnographic approaches
- user surveys * ethics and legal issues
Invited participants (all confirmed)
- Julian Ausserhofer, Graz University of Applied Sciences
- Christoph Bieber, University of Duisburg-Essen
- Axel Bruns, Queensland University of Technology
- Jean Burgess, Queensland University of Technology
- Piet Daas, Statistics Netherlands
- Mark Dang-Anh, University of Bonn
- Evelyn Dröge, University of Düsseldorf
- Jessica Einspänner, University of Bonn
- Stephen Harrington, Queensland University of Technology
- Andreas Jungherr, University of Bamberg
- Katrin Jungnickel, TU Ilmenau
- Anders Larsson, University of Uppsala
- Matteo Magnani, University of Bologna
- Axel Maireder, University of Vienna
- Christoph Neuberger, University of Munich
- Jan Schmidt, Hans-Bredow Institut für Medienforschung, Hamburg
We would like to receive an abstract (~200 words) of your presentation at the workshop by August 1st, 2011. Please send your abstact to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will post a detailed program on the workshop website soon after receiving your abstracts.
The workshop proper consisting of 10-15 presentations and two roundtable discussions will commence at 1pm on the 14th and wrap up by around 4.30pm on the 15th, leaving enough time for most participants to spend just one night in Düsseldorf (of course, you're more than welcome to stay longer!).
Hands-on coding session on the morning of the first day
Prior to the opening session on the 14th at 1pm there will be a hands-on coding session in the morning from 10am to 12am. Interested participants will get a practical whirlwind introduction to extracting and visualizing Twitter data using tools such as Gawk, R and Gephi. Please let us know in advance via email if you are interesting in participating in the coding session.
Travel and accomodations
Düsseldorf is located in northwestern Germany close to Cologne and the Dutch border. Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) one of the largest in Germany and is located only about ten minutes outside of the city via public transportation. The workshop will take place at the University of Düsseldorf, in the main conference room of the University and State Library.
The following hotels have good ratings on various websites and are moderately priced
Max Hotel Garni [LINK]. This hotel is located close to the central station and the city center. It takes a bit under 20 minutes by tram from the hotel to the campus.
Hotel Düsseldorf City [LINK] This one is located closer to the university, which may be more convenient. The campus is in walking distance, though you might still want to take the tram as the campus is fairly large.
Please note that are no workshop fees, but that we will not be able to reimburse you or cover travel/lodging expenses (coffee, Internet access and other existential necessities will of course be provided). We plan to keep the event fairly small in size to facilitate cooperation and exchange of ideas, which is why there is no public call, but do let us know if you have colleagues who you think would like to participate. We don't plan to publish proceedings at this point, but will ask you for a short abstract a month before the workshop. Our rationale is to discuss work in progress and exchange ideas on methodological issues -- if there a consensus that we should publish something we can make arrangements.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with Cornelius Puschmann (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions or need assistance with your travel arrangements.

Brandon man charged with arson on own houseBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | April 01,2014State Police Photo
Ethan McArdleBRANDON - Vermont State Police say a fire at a home on Carver Street Monday was an act of arson.
After firefighters doused a blaze at 59 Carver Street Monday morning, police arrested one of the home's owners, 33-year-old
Ethan McArdle and charged him with first degree arson and reckless endangerment.
The fire at the home was the second in a 24-hour period, police say. The first fire was in the basement and was quickly put out on Sunday.
The second, which started on the home's second floor, was fully involved when firefighters arrived at the scene. That fire was put out before the home could be destroyed and a fire investigator with the state police was called to examine the scene along with an accelerant sniffing police dog.
The investigation revealed the fire on Monday was intentionally set.
McArdle was issued a citation to appear in court at a later date.
Anyone with information about the blaze is asked to call state police Detective. Sgt. David Sutton at 773-9101.MORE IN This Just In

Enabling ab initio Hessian and frequency calculations of large molecules129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2978387View Description Hide Description
A linear scaling method, termed as cardinality guided molecular tailoring approach, is applied for the estimation of the Hessian matrix and frequency calculations of spatially extended molecules. The method is put to test on a number of molecular systems largely employing the Hartree–Fock and density functional theory for a variety of basis sets. To demonstrate its ability for correlated methods, we have also performed a few test calculations at the Møller–Plesset second order perturbation theory. A comparison of central processing unit and memory requirements for medium-sized systems with those for the corresponding full ab initio computation reveals substantial gains with negligible loss of accuracy. The technique is further employed for a set of larger molecules, Hessian and frequency calculations of which are not possible on commonly available personal-computer-type hardware.
Vibrational energy levels of129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3027825View Description Hide Description
We present a parallelized contracted basis-iterative method for calculating numerically exact vibrational energy levels of (a 12-dimensional calculation). We use Radau polyspherical coordinates and basis functions that are products of eigenfunctions of bend and stretch Hamiltonians. The bend eigenfunctions are computed in a nondirect product basis with more than functions and the stretch functions are computed in a product potential optimized discrete variable basis. The basis functions have amplitude in all of the 120 equivalent minima. Many low-lying levels are well converged. We find that the energy level pattern is determined in part by the curvature and width of the valley connecting the minima and in part by the slope of the walls of this valley but does not depend on the height or shape of the barriers separating the minima.
Extrapolation to the complete-basis-set limit and the implications of avoided crossings: The , , and states of129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3036115View Description Hide Description
The uniform singlet- and triplet-pair extrapolation scheme and its generalized variant are utilized to describe bond breaking of the molecule in the ground electronic state, as well as in two other excited states of the same spin symmetry by extrapolating multireference configuration interaction energies calculated with the correlation consistent basis sets of Dunning to the complete-basis set limit. It is shown that the correlationenergy changes drastically (with a symmetric sigmoidal-type shape) near the geometry where the two lowest adiabatic states show the avoided crossing. The implications of such a feature on extrapolating the dynamical correlation are then analyzed, and the attributes of the extrapolated ground electronic state shown to be in excellent agreement with the most recent experimental data available in the literature.
algorithm for dipolar interactions129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000389View Description Hide Description
An extension to the algorithm for electrostatic interactions is presented that allows to efficiently compute dipolar interactions in periodic boundary conditions.Theoretical estimates for the root-mean-square error of the forces, torques, and the energy are derived. The applicability of the estimates is tested and confirmed in several numerical examples. A comparison of the computational performance of the new algorithm to a standard dipolar-Ewald summation methods shows a performance crossover from the Ewald method to the dipolar method for as few as 300 dipolar particles. In larger systems, the new algorithm represents a substantial improvement in performance with respect to the dipolar standard Ewald method. Finally, a test comparing point-dipole-based and charged-pair based models shows that point-dipole-based models exhibit a better performance than charged-pair based models.
Crystal structure prediction of using ab initio total-energy calculations and evolutionary simulations129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3021079View Description Hide Description
The stable crystal structure of is predicted on the basis of ab initio total-energy calculations using density-functional theory and an extended database of candidate structures and using global optimizations based on an evolutionary algorithm. At the level of density-functional theory, a -type structure with space group , containing tetrahedra linked in chains, is the ground-state structure of . It is found to be lower in energy than the structures proposed in previous studies. The analysis of the electronic structure shows that is an insulator with a band gap of about 4.84 eV and exhibits strong covalent bonding in the tetrahedral complexes. Calculations at finite temperatures and high pressures suggest that at and ambient pressure a structural transition from (-type) to a -type structure with space group occurs and that at a pressure of 7.1 GPa undergoes a pressure-induced structural transition from the -phase to a -type structure with space group . The calculated enthalpies of formation ( and without and with zero-point energy corrections) are in good agreement with the experimental result, indicating that is a potential hydrogen storagematerial with low activation barriers for hydrogen desorption.
Block correlated coupled cluster method with a complete-active-space self-consistent-field reference function: The implementation for low-lying excited states129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3043728View Description Hide Description
Block correlated coupled cluster theory with the complete-active-space self-consistent-field reference function (CAS-BCCC) is generalized for low-lying electronic excited states. By truncating the cluster operator up to the four-block correlation level, the corresponding CAS-BCCC4 method for excited states has been efficiently implemented. The approach is applied to study the excited-state potential energy surfaces for HF and and to evaluate adiabatic or vertical excitation energies for , , and trans-1,3-butadiene. The results are compared with those from the full configuration interaction, the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction with singles and doubles, the complete active space with second-order perturbation theory, and other theoretical methods (if available). The CAS-BCCC4 approach is found to provide high accuracy calculations for the low-lying excited states of the systems under study.

An ab initio/Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus prediction of rate constant and product branching ratios for unimolecular decomposition of propen-2-ol and related reaction129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3033939View Description Hide Description
Enols have been found to be important intermediates in the combustionflames of hydrocarbon [C. A. Taatjes et al., Science308, 1887 (2005)]. The removal mechanism of enols in combustionflame has not been established yet. In this work, the potential energy surface for the unimolecular decomposition of syn-propen-2-ol and recombination reactions have been first investigated by CCSD(T) method. The barrier heights, reaction energies, and geometrical parameters of the reactants, products, intermediates, and transition states have been investigated theoretically. The results show that the formation of via the intermediate is dominant for the unimolecular decomposition of syn-propen-2-ol and its branching ratio is over 99% in the whole temperature range from 700 to 3000 K, and its rate constant can be expressed as an analytical form in the range of at atmospheric pressure. This can be attributed to the lower energy barrier of this channel compared to the other channels. The association reaction of H with is shown to be a little more complicated than the unimolecular decomposition of syn-propen-2-ol. The channel leading to takes a key role in the whole temperature range at atmospheric pressure. However at the higher pressure of 100 atm, the recombination by direct formation of syn-propen-2-ol through H addition is important at . In the range of , the recombination channel leading to turns out to be significant.
Long-range multipolar potentials of the 18 spin-orbit states arising from the interaction129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3039685View Description Hide Description
We present multipolar potentials at large intermolecular distances for the 18 doubly degenerate spin-orbit states arising from the interaction between the two open-shell systems, and . With OH fixed at its ground vibrational state-averaged distance , the long-range potentials are two-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) that depend on the intermolecular distance and the angle , where represents the mass center of OH. The diabatic potential matrix elements are built up from the perturbation theory up to second order and from a two-center expansion of the Coulombic interaction potential, resulting in a multipolar expansion of the potential expressed as a series of terms varying in . The expressions for the long-range coefficients of the expansion are explicitly given in terms of monomer properties such as permanent multipole moments, and static and dynamic polarizabilities. Accurate values for the monomer properties are used to properly determine the long-range interaction coefficients. The diagonalization of the full potential matrix generates adiabatic long-range PESs in good agreement with their ab initio counterparts.
Double photoionization of thiophene and bromine-substituted thiophenes129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3039082View Description Hide Description
We report the double photoionization spectra of thiophene, 3-bromothiophene, and 3,4-dibromothiophene using a coincidence spectroscopy technique based on electron time-of-flight measurements. Spectra have been recorded between the onset and 40.814 eV using radiation. The photoelectron spectrum of 3,4-dibromothiophene has also been measured. All the spectra have been analyzed and interpreted in detail on the basis of theoretical simulations from accurate Green's function calculations.
Fast vibrational calculation of anharmonic OH-stretch frequencies for two low-energy noradrenaline conformers129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3040427View Description Hide Description
We introduce a new reduced-coupling technique to accelerate direct calculations of a selected number of vibrational frequencies in large molecular systems. Our method combines the advantages of the single-to-all correlation-corrected vibrational self-consistent field (STA-CC-VSCF) approach [D. M. Benoit, J. Chem. Phys.125, 244110 (2006)] with those of the fast-CC-VSCF technique [D. M. Benoit, J. Chem. Phys.120, 562 (2004)] and allows the ab initio calculation of only the relevant parts of the required potential energy surface (PES). We demonstrate, using a set of five aliphatic alcohol molecules, that the new fast-STA-CC-VSCF method is accurate and leads to very substantial time gains for the computations of the PES. We then use the fast-STA-CC-VSCF method to accelerate the computation of the OH-stretch and NH-stretch frequencies of the two lowest-energy conformers of noradrenaline, namely, AG1a and GG1a. Our new approach enables us to run the calculation 89 times faster than the standard CC-VSCF technique and makes it possible to use a high-level MP2/TZP description of the PES. We demonstrate that the influence of the strong mode-mode couplings is crucial for a realistic description of the particular OH-stretch vibrational signature of each conformer. Finally, of the two possible low-energy conformers, we identify AG1a as the one most likely to have been observed in the experiments of Snoek et al. [Mol. Phys.101, 1239 (2003)].
Pulse-train control of branching processes: Elimination of background and intruder state population129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3041380View Description Hide Description
The authors introduce and describe pulse train control (PTC) of population branching in strongly coupled processes as a novel control tool for the separation of competing multiphoton processes.Control strategies are presented based on the different responses of processes with different photonicities and/or different frequency detunings to the pulse-to-pulse time delay and the pulse-to-pulse phase shift in pulse trains. The control efficiency is further enhanced by the property of pulse trains that complete population transfer can be obtained over an extended frequency range that replaces the resonance frequency of simple pulses. The possibility to freely tune the frequency assists the separation of the competing processes and reduces the number of subpulses required for full control. As a sample application, PTC of leaking multiphoton resonances is demonstrated by numerical simulations. In model systems exhibiting sizable background (intruder) state population if excited with single pulses, PTC leading to complete accumulation of population in the target state and elimination of background population is readily achieved. The analysis of the results reveals different mechanisms of control and provides clues on the mechanisms of the leaking process itself. In an alternative setup, pulse trains can be used as a phase-sensitive tool for level switching. By changing only the pulse-to-pulse phase shift of a train with otherwise unchanged parameters, population can be transferred to any of two different target states in a near-quantitative manner.
IR/UV spectroscopy on jet cooled 3-hydroxyflavone clusters along proton transfer coordinates in the electronic ground and excited states129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3037023View Description Hide Description
The structure and reactivity of isolated 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) aggregates with one and two water molecules has been investigated by applying combined infrared/ultraviolet (IR/UV) spectroscopy in a supersonic jet both for the electronic ground and excited states. In combination with density functional theory(DFT) calculations, the IR spectra of the states recorded from the upper fingerprint region to the OH stretching vibrations are assigned to the most stable isomers of the clusters. For the first electronically excited state of the cluster structural information are obtained from the IR spectra in combination with time-dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. No proton transfer structure is observed in the case of a low excess energy within the electronically excited state. By raising the excitation energy, additional bands appear that can be assigned to a tautomeric form indicating the induction of a proton transfer reaction.

Effect of an external electric field on the diffusion-influenced reversible reaction of a neutral particle and a charged particle in three dimensions129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3035986View Description Hide Description
The diffusion-influenced reversible reaction of a neutral particle and a charged particle in an external field is analytically solved in three dimensions. A generalized nonisotropic boundary condition is used and a kinetic equation for the probability density function is set up. A tridiagonal matrix equation is derived for the coefficients of the series solution and we obtain the solution within the diagonal approximation in the Laplace domain. We also find that the long time asymptotic behavior of the first term solution shows a kinetic transition from a power law to an exponential behavior as the field strength is increased. The full numerical calculation reveals that the first term solution deviates slightly at short times but gives good result at long times. Thus it contributes dominantly to the kinetic transition behavior at long times. For the irreversible limit, we find a different kinetic transition behavior from a power law to an exponential increase through a constant in the transition region for the initially bound state.
Solving the structure of reaction intermediates by time-resolved synchrotron x-ray absorption spectroscopy129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3040271View Description Hide Description
We present a robust data analysis method of time-resolvedx-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments suitable for chemical speciation and structure determination of reaction intermediates. Chemical speciation is done by principal component analysis (PCA) of the time-resolvedx-rayabsorption near-edge structure data. Structuralanalysis of intermediate phases is done by theoretical modeling of their extended x-rayabsorption fine-structure data isolated by PCA. The method is demonstrated using reduction and reoxidation of Cu-doped ceria catalysts where we detected reaction intermediates and measured fine details of the reaction kinetics. This approach can be directly adapted to many time-resolvedx-ray spectroscopy experiments where new rapid throughput data collection and analysis methods are needed.
A new crossover sine model based on trigonometric model and its application to the crossover lattice equation of state129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3040266View Description Hide Description
In this study, a new crossover sine model (CSM) was developed from a trigonometric model [M. E. Fisher, S. Zinn, and P. J. Upton, Phys. Rev. B59, 14533 (1999)]. The trigonometric model is a parametric formulation model that is used to represent the thermodynamic variables near a critical point. Although there are other crossover models based on this trigonometric model, such as the CSM and the analytical sine model, which is an analytic formulation of the CSM, the new sine model (NSM) employs a different approach from these two models in terms of the connections between the parametric variables of the trigonometric model and thermodynamic variables. In order to test the performance of the NSM, the crossover lattice equation of state [M. S. Shin, Y. Lee, and H. Kim, J. Chem. Thermodyn.40, 174 (2008)] was applied using the NSM for correlations of various pure fluids and fluid mixtures. The results showed that over a wide range of states, the crossover lattice fluid (xLF)/NSM yields the saturated properties of pure fluids and the phase behavior of binary mixtures more accurately than the original lattice equation of state. Moreover, a comparison with the crossover lattice equation of state using the CSM (xLF/CSM) showed that the new model presents good correlation results that are comparable to the xLF/CSM.
Demixing in binary mixtures of apolar and dipolar hard spheres129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3039512View Description Hide Description
We study the demixing transition of mixtures of equal size hard spheres and dipolar hard spheres using computer simulation and integral equationtheories. Calculations are carried out at constant pressure, and it is found that there is a strong correlation between the total density and the composition. The critical temperature and the critical total density are found to increase with pressure. The critical mole fraction of the dipolar component on the contrary decreases as pressure is augmented. These qualitative trends are reproduced by the theoretical approaches that on the other hand overestimate by far the value of the critical temperature. Interestingly, the critical parameters for the liquid-vapor equilibrium extrapolated from the mixture results in the limit of vanishing neutral hard sphere concentration agree rather well with recent estimates based on the extrapolation of charged hard dumbbell phase equilibria when dumbbell elongation shrinks to zero [G.

Collapse of an iceclathrate of type II structure containing tetrahydrofuran as guest molecules has been studied at different pressures by dielectric spectroscopy. The sample was pressurized to 1.3 GPa at 130 K and the resulting collapsed state was pressure cycled. The dielectric relaxation time increases at a progressively rapid rate during pressurizing and then decreases slowly on depressurizing, but the dielectric relaxation time does not reach the value of the original state. With increase in pressure, the limiting high frequency permittivity due to orientation of molecules first increases by about 5% until 0.75 GPa and then decreases slightly until 1 GPa, and finally it increases until . The decrease is attributed to the loss of contribution from the reorientational motion of tetrahydrofuran molecules and the increase to densification as the structure mechanically collapses completely in the 1–1.25 GPa range. The relaxation time of the collapsed state is comparable with that of the high-density amorph formed on pressure collapse of ice.
Equilibrium sizes and formation energies of small and large Lennard-Jones clusters from molecular dynamics: A consistent comparison to Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theories129(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3040245View Description Hide Description
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of Lennard-Jones argon clusters in equilibrium with a surrounding vapor and combined them with simulations of nucleation events in supersaturated vapor to investigate the dependence of critical cluster size on the vapor density in the cluster size range of 20–300 atoms. The simulations are performed at reduced temperature , which with the parameter values of Lennard-Jones argon corresponds to 80 K. We obtain bulk equilibrium values by simulating a planar liquid-vapor interface. In the studied cluster size range, we find a linear relation between critical size and , where is the chemical potential difference between supersaturated vapor and saturated vapor, but the slope of the line is not given by the Kelvin relation of classical nucleationtheory. With this relation, along with the known formation energy of the small critical cluster of the nucleation simulations, we proceed to calculate the formation energies for larger critical sizes by integrating the nucleationtheorem. We compare the molecular dynamics results to results from Monte Carlo simulations and both perturbative density functional theory and square gradient theory calculations. We find that the molecular dynamics results are in excellent agreement with the density functional and square gradient values. However, the Monte Carlo critical sizes and formation energies are somewhat lower than the molecular dynamics ones.

As per duckworth's post:
- The large size of the library
- The fact that the library is on the network
- A specific file or file is causing it the player to crash
I have been working on this for months and have tried everything. A newly installed windows 7 machine 32-bit. The media library empties and reverses the count back to zero
When you copy the about 30000 files at a time it is fine, been working for while now. But when it becomes corrupt again for some reason, your back to where you started. I am not about to delete all the music and copy across again slowly so that the library can handle it, for the next few months.
By the way you need to copy 30000 mp3 files/folder across to your music folder, then when media player finishes updating the library, shut media player down and start it up again, then do another 30000 files etc .My question is, this has been a bug for while now. Anyone with a genuine fix.
