Dear Qcad Experts,
It looks like if I want to insert a unicode character in qcad text, I have got to insert one at a time from the drop down list after selecting the character set. Is there any chance that we can use the available keyboards (e.g. scim http://www.scim-im.org/) inside qcad?
If I try to activate scim in qcad, the only keyboard option I get for keyboard is English/European. But I have more than twenty language keyboards installed in my machine and they work perfectly in other applications.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else ever have horrible foot cramps while swimming. I try to stretch before and after, but it never fails, I always have horrible pain in one foot. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sorry everyone, I should have checked spell check before I sent the last message. My apologies. Cramps!!! not the other word.
I too get the craps in the pool!!!! Eventhough I do, I'm just messin with ya! I get craMps too! One time I had to get rescued by the life guard in my Masters swim in AZ. How embarrassing!! I've found that if I keep a bottle of half gatorade/half water on the wall it doesn't happen as much. I also stay away from caffeine at least 3 hours before the workout so as not to dehydrate myself further! Good luck!!!
Never a dull day in the world of athletes.
I get that too. I always thought it was arthritis or something. If it is a muscle cramp, try eating more bananas. The potassium helps prevent cramps.
I ussed to get horrible footcramps from ballet as well as swimming. I was advised to eat more bananas b/c the potassium in them helps to reduce muscle cramps. Muscle contraction also relies on the release of calcium and thus not having enough calcium in your diet can also be the culprit of painful cramps. I started eating a banana with my cereal in the morning and my muscle cramps have been reduced significantly.
I have the same problem and Yoga really helped me.
I get foot cramps almost exclusively in the pool. Very infrequently I'll get one during sleep. They seemed to be prompted by the back stroke more than any other. My potassium levels are already very high.
Someone has told me that tonic water will relieve them. Anybody vouch for that?
tonic water is a source of Quinine and that is prescribed for a condition known as 'intermitent claudication' which is usually cramping in the leg after walking a short distance. whether quinine will help your foot cramps is questionable but it probably wouldn't hurt.
Potasium is one electrolyte that could be necessary but a more important electrolyte for muscles is magnesium and most people are deficient in same.
I experienced some cramping when I first began to swim for conditioning especially after I made turns and pushed off. this stoped without any specific supplementation on my part as I conditioned but I think dehydration is my main issue.
i have given up swimming because of the foot cramps that i was getting. i swam competitively for 7 years, took a break for about 10 years and when i tried to get back in the water the cramps started, both feet first and then the calves (HORRIBLE PAIN). i have tried potassium and magnessium supplements, giving up caffeine, drinking more fluids, stretching, and sleeping with a bar of soap (not sure why but it was suggested). my point being that nothing worked and the cramps seemed to get worse.
i would entertain other suggestions. i hang out in the gym now and miss the water.
u get foot cramps mostly during the strokes that u arch your foot in the most. something about keeping that muscle like that for periods of time. when i get them in the pool i have to just flex my arch and work it out. i don't think there is one specific cure or anything like that. it just depends on your body. 2 things that helped me were first strengthening the muscles in my feet and second i walways drink gatorade during practices and water before. for some reason water doesn't help when i'm swimming but gatorade does. i hope i was of some help to you
thanks chickie,
what is an example of a foot strengthening exercise?
thre hard to decribe but i can try, u can jump rope and do stairs to help your arches. those are the only 2 i can really say and have it still make since
I've started training for a rowing tour and have upped my work-out time. (rowers and swimmers have a lot in common). Since then, I've increased bananas, am not dehydrated, and get horrible foot cramps. I stretch and eat enough calcium. I've read all the recommendations posted thus far. Any others??
i share your pain. i am always on the prowl for something new that will help out, so if i find it i'll let you know.

SANTA CLARA -- Man-made or natural, the challenges that have dogged newly minted Levi's Stadium all but disappeared Sunday afternoon. The local trains ran on time and plenty of sunscreen lotion, big hats and a cool breeze kept the legions of football fans happy.
"We read all about the heat at last week's game, so we made sure we came prepared," said Anselmo Ontiveros, of Fremont. He and his wife, Rocio, wore long shirts, pants and hats and carried enough water in bottles to endure the heat from the direct sunlight on the upper concourse. "If you know you're going to be sitting in the sun for three to four hours, you need to use some common sense."
Traffic to and from the preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers appeared to run smoothly, too. Sunday morning's earthquake in Napa apparently had little or no effect on traffic after transportation authorities canceled rail service from the Sacramento area. Stadium officials said they gave the brand-new $1.3 billion gridiron palace a thorough, structural inspection well before the gates opened.
"Building engineers have walked the entire stadium," said Niner spokesman Bob Lange, "and we have had no reported damage."
Lange added that ACE and Capitol Corridor trains usually carry about 1,200 fans to the football games. All tracks within 100 miles of Napa were shut down after the quake. It wasn't clear how many of those fans were forced to drive in for the game. Caltrain and VTA trains ran their usual Sunday schedule.
As for driving, Lorraine Castillo and Maria Cortinas said their route from Mountain View to the stadium was smooth sailing.
"It was pretty well-organized," Castillo said during halftime. "Santa Clara deserves plenty of credit for getting everybody out here. They took advice. They listened. They took heed."
Frustratingly long traffic and train lines -- the biggest concerns for fans after the transportation snafus before and after the stadium's debut in early August -- had mostly diminished. So had long lines for food, snacks and beverages. But still, the true test of Levi's fan-friendliness awaits the rigors of the regular season.
Sunday's game was a preseason, practice tilt. It appeared that by halftime, half the fans had left their seats to either head home or to hang out on the festive, sun-drenched patios. Fans tend to stay longer or until the very end of official games and then pour out of stadiums at the same time.
Mild weather
On Sunday, Mother Nature gave team officials a major break when a cool breeze off the Pacific kept the temperature in the low to mid-70s. Even so, fans came prepared with sunscreen lotion and hats playing like umbrellas.
Sam Reichner wore a conical, bamboo Vietnamese hat commonly used by rice-field workers in his ancestral country. The 19-year-old West Valley College student was adopted.
"I had it at home and knew that it was going to be sunny today," he said.
Santa Clara Fire Department paramedics wheeled away one elderly man from the upper concourse before game time, but it was unclear whether his condition was heat-related. Medical stations at the stadium did not look to be as busy as they were at last week's game.
The temporary sod on the field looked brittle and dry but it held up well enough. The team had replaced the original turf last week after it had been cleated to bits in last week's football game.
"There are a lot smarter people out there than me that can tell you about the quality of the grass itself," 49ers kicker Phil Dawson said after the game. "I'm just amazed it was that playable given that it was put in on Thursday."
Even so, the sod was just a temporary fix. The thick grass wasn't the type to sink deep roots and last a full season. Team officials told sports reporters after the game they will look at two different types of permanent sod this week to put in place for the team's first true test in three weeks.

Paul George scored 24 points and Lance Stephenson recorded his third triple-double of the season, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 106-79 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Stephenson had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists as Indiana (22-5) won its second straight and maintained its grip on the Eastern Conference's best record. He's the only player in the league with more than one triple-double this season.
Avery Bradley scored 13 points for Boston. Courtney Lee and Jeff Green each had 11 in coach Brad Stevens' return to his hometown. Stevens grew up in Zionsville, an Indy suburb, and led nearby Butler to back-to-back national championship games as the Bulldogs' coach.
But there was no magic for the Celtics, who lost their third in a row.

The Glacier National Park Quarter
The Glacier National Park quarter is the second to be released in 2011 and the seventh overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. The park is named for its prominent glacier-carved terrain and remnant glaciers descended from the ice age of 10,000 years ago. Glacial forces, ancient seas, geologic faults and uplifting all combined to create some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. Known to the Blackfeet as the "Backbone of the World," Glacier National Park preserves more than 1 million acres of forests, alpine meadows, lakes, rugged peaks and glacially carved valleys in the Northern Rocky Mountains. These lands were first set aside as a national reserve on February 22, 1897 (29 Stat. 907).
The reverse image depicts a classic view of the northeast slope of Mount Reynolds towering in the distance, while a mountain goat climbs over the rocky slopes of the park's high country. Inscriptions are GLACIER, MONTANA, 2011 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Glacier National Park.

Hi Andi! I did get your response yesterday....I didn't like the answer so I didn't reply...just kidding. 3-4 miles of biking to 1 mile of running is really far. Of course I'll do it and for a week it will be a nice change.

When it comes to mind-body health, quantum mechanics, spirituality and peace, Deepak Chopra has long been acknowledged as one of the world's experts. Now he has turned his attention toward a new topic: happiness.
In The Happiness Prescription, a new PBS program and Gaiam DVD set, Chopra discusses the latest research on what makes people happy and how happiness relates to health and well-being, healthy relationships and overall success in life. Using his knowledge of the Buddha's teachings and relating them to a contemporary understanding of consciousness, Chopra leads an inspirational journey toward a prescription for living life mindfully, joyfully and with effortless spontaneity. We talked with him about happiness.
Q. What inspired your interest in happiness?
A. My interest in happiness was sparked by my observation that happy people are healthier. They tend to have good relationships, and they tend to be successful.
What's the latest research on happiness?
There is a lot of research that shows that we have a set point in our brains for happiness that is determined by genetics as well as our upbringing. Happy people tend to see opportunities, where unhappy people tend to see problems. However, the research doesn't address existential unhappiness, which comes from a deeper domain of awareness. It has to do with the fear of mortality, as well as not knowing the answers to the deeper questions, such as, Do we have a soul? Does God exist? What happens after we die? For these answers we need to look to the wisdom traditions, particularly the wisdom of Buddha.
Can happiness be learned?
Yes! Just like riding a bike can be learned, being happy is a skill anyone can acquire.
What are a few simple steps we can take right now to be happier?
Don't focus on "me" and "mine." See the connectivity of everything that exists. Focus on making other people happy. Take time to meditate and to make conscious choices, always asking yourself, Is this choice going to make me happy or unhappy? Will it make others happy or unhappy?
Can we be truly happy when there is so much suffering in the world?
When we share the suffering of the world we experience compassion, which leads to love which leads to happiness.
What is the difference between happiness and bliss?
Bliss is a profound state of peace that comes from getting in touch with the immortal aspect of your being that is called the soul. Bliss is eternal and cannot be shaken. Happiness is usually situational.
To watch The Happiness Prescription on PBS, consult your local listings.
The Happiness Prescription DVD set is available at Gaiam.com.

Sydney, April 2: The proposed merger between 3G mobile phone operator Hutchison Telecommunications Ltd. (HTA.AU) and Vodafone PLC (VOD) has raised many eyebrows.
The proposed merger would cut the number of mobile network operators in Australia to three from the present four.
Australia's antitrust regulator, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), has raised the objection that the proposed merger, announced on Feb. 9, will limit competition for mobile telephony and mobile broadband, and hence increase the prices.
The ACCC also pointed a finger at the merged group's enhanced ability to observe its rivals' plans for network investment.
"The ACCC is concerned that the removal of Hutchison as a vigorous and effective competitor will lead to increased prices for customers in the retail mobile telephony and MBB services segments in the retail mobile telecommunications services market," the ACCC said in the Statement of Issues.
If the 50/50 joint venture deal between Vodafone and Hutchison comes through, the combined entity will have $4 billion in annual sales revenue, and would boast of 6 million customers. The combined entity would be known as Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA), and will command a 27 percent market share, next only to Optus, Australia's second-largest mobile company with 33 percent market share.
Hutchison and Vodafone, who are "each other's closest competitors" in the metropolitan and prepaid markets, appear confident that they will get a nod from the watchdog.
Canning Fok, group managing director of Hutchison Whampoa and chairman of Hutchison Australia, opined, "The Foreign Investment Review Board and the European Commission have given their approval, and we will be responding to the Statement of Issues released by the ACCC yesterday, in particular our view that the merger will deliver more competition, more investment and a better deal for consumers."
The ACCC has asked the industry and consumer groups to respond to its Statement of Issues by April 17. The watchdog is expected to release its final report by May 6.

The brilliant tone of the BMW Individual High End Audio System is created by the absolute top quality of its individual components. Speakers are light, powerful and fitted with neodymium magnet drives. The maximum sound pressure of the extremely rigid Hexacone diaphragms is 112 dBA, with a frequency range of 18 Hz to 24 kHz. A 9-channel amplifier with DSP (Digital Signal Processing) transfers the differentiated audio signals to the individual speakers. Lack of sound clarity is eliminated by time delays and any acoustic reflection is severely reduced. To do this, the digital amplifier makes use of the unique DIRAC Live technology, which modifies both time and frequency ranges of the signal.

Bonus Culture Corrodes U.K. Economy
Is the bonus culture the source of the U.K.'s economic woes?
That's what economist and pensions consultant Andrew Smithers thinks. The bonus culture, he has argued through various notes to clients, is at the root of the British economy's relatively high inflation, low investment and poor productivity.
The bonus culture affects how managers take risks when running their businesses. Bonus and option arrangements for managers stress short-term corporate gains at the expense of longer-term growth. The result is underinvestment and higher immediate profit margins at the expense of the businesses' futures. Buybacks are favored to long-run investments in capital stock and machinery because they have a more immediate impact on earnings. Investment is unusually low relative to profit margins, Mr. Smithers points out.
As for falling productivity, this comes down to managers' decisions to substitute labor for capital because capital investment incurs bigger immediate costs. This also explains why U.K. employment has held up well in the face of the financial crisis.
Meanwhile, companies maintain higher prices than they might do otherwise to retain long-term customer loyalty, boosting inflation.
And these flaws boil down to the fact that corporate managers have strong pay incentives to focus on short-term earnings targets rather than the long-run health of their businesses.
Unfortunately, these conditions are likely to persist, Mr. Smithers argues, given there's no sign of changes to management remuneration structures or incentives. The U.K. will continue to suffer higher than expected inflation, low growth and poor productivity.
As extreme as his argument sounds, Mr. Smithers isn't writing in green ink from some Occupy Wall Street yurt. Widely followed in financial circles on both sides of the Atlantic, his bonus thesis was cited by Jeremy Grantham of the GMO asset management firm in his recent quarterly letter to investors.
Nor is the U.K. alone here. The U.S. economy is also bedeviled by similar executive incentive schemes, although they are offset by larger flows of fiscal stimulus, while weaker labor rights allow firms to cut more workers in rapid response to economic weakness.
This has helped to boost productivity numbers and corporate profits even further than in the U.K. But as the U.S. starts to recover, there, too, employment is likely to pick up faster than investment. That may be good in the short term, but longer term it also means lower productivity growth and more inflation.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Susan Hamley, director of Snowmass Tourism, announced Wednesday that she is resigning from her position, effective April 15.
Hamley was the first marketing director hired by the marketing and special events board in 2003, shortly after its creation. During her tenure, the department has grown to 13 staff members and has instated many of the special events and marketing programs in Snowmass Village today, including the Chili Pepper and Brew Fest.
Hamley called her decision "bittersweet."
"I like to step back at milestones," she said, talking about her 10-year anniversary. She felt it was time to move on, "for myself and for the Village."
"I really am passionate about bringing tourism here," she said. "It's important to bring in some new viewpoints."
The board was created in 2003 after voters approved a tax to support marketing and special events. The marketing director position was also supported by that tax, and out of 300 applicants, Hamley was offered the job, according to The Aspen Times.
Group sales was eventually merged into the marketing and special events board, and it became a facet of what the tourism department does, as well. Snowmass Tourism, a nontraditional tourism bureau in that it is under the umbrella of town government, now has 13 staff members. Hamley reports to Town Manager Russ Forrest administratively, but also gives progress updates to and receives feedback from the Marketing, Special Events and Group Sales Board, as it is now called.
Hamley, who started the Chili Pepper and Brew Fest in 2004, said special events are among her proudest accomplishments during her tenure. The chili and beer festival this year is getting a new name, the Snowmass Mammoth Festival; a new location in Town Park, and more bands on its schedule, as well as a new producer in Steve Gumble Productions.
Hamley said it was good to "watch it grow through the years to where it's headed now."
She's not concerned about handing over the reins on it, either.
"Our talented team is so passionate and committed, they'll do a great job with it," she said. "It's all in motion now (anyway). It's moving; it's happening."
She says it will probably take longer than the first year for the festival to see a higher return on investment.
"It's well-positioned to really grow," she said. "My long-term vision is we'll have two really good bookends (to summer)."
Summer tourism poses a particular challenge in Snowmass. Hamley said the town has made a slight increase in how much of its income is drawn from the summer season, but also said, "I think a lot of us would like to be further along."
Hamley considers the partnerships Snowmass Tourism has developed - such as with the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, Aspen Skiing Co. and Stay Aspen Snowmass - to be one of its biggest successes in the past 10 years.
"It's the strong partnerships we've developed as Aspen/Snowmass: everyone believing and acting in the interest of this broader umbrella and collaborating to make programs that are more powerful than if we went our own ways," she said.
Town Manager Russ Forrest said big changes have happened during Hamley's 10 years of leadership. Snowmass Tourism has gone from being just her in 2003 to "a pretty sophisticated marketing program," he said.
"She's an incredibly hardworking employee," Forrest said. "She's that type of individual, very committed. You need to tell her to take a vacation."
Forrest said Snowmass Village's revenue is stronger than some other resorts, and a lot of that is thanks to Hamley.
"A lot of focus has been on what does that entity (Snowmass Tourism) do to buck the trends of a down economy," he said. "When we were looking at how we're pacing compared to other resorts ... we were actually doing better from a sales tax standpoint."
Snowmass Village's sales tax revenue increased by 6.1 percent in 2012, according to the Snowmass Sun.
Forrest said Hamley's position will need to be filled, but that some discussion also needs to occur around whether the town wants to keep the department structured as it is. Hamley will remain at the helm of Snowmass Tourism until the end of ski season.

Are you excited about learning technical and conceptual skills that are both valuable and practical? As a Craft + Material Studies major, you'll express yourself through every step of the creative process, from inception of an idea to design, coalescence and completion.
You have a lot to choose from here – we're one of the few top art schools or universities to offer all five Craft media: Ceramics, Fibers + Textile Studies, Glass, Jewelry/Metals and Wood/Furniture. You'll be part of a tight-knit community that enjoys a generous amount of studio access outside of class time. In fact, junior and senior Craft majors receive individual studio spaces. You'll work with both ancient and modern tools: from weaving looms, ceramic kilns, glassblowing furnaces and hammers, to 3-D printers and laser cutters. And you'll have access to all the culture and resources the vibrant city of Philadelphia has to offer: museums and galleries, street fairs, internships, part-time employment and more.
You'll have many opportunities to exhibit your work, both at UArts – the annual wearable art show put on by the Experimental Costume Design and Performance program, the Craft Senior Thesis Show – and at major exhibitions such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show and the Philadelphia Furniture Show. Students also participate in "Art Unleashed," the University's annual exhibition and sale of artwork that raises funds for scholarships. Or perhaps you'll be like one group of students who created a pop-up jewelry show in a temporary garden created on campus by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society.

OAKLAND -- If the A's wind up making the playoffs, they will owe at least a small debt to Taco Bell and its zesty pepper jack sauce.
As a seventh-grader, Jeff Samardzija once ate so many gorditas before football practice that he staggered to the sideline and called it a day after 15 minutes. The exit did not sit well with his father, Sam Samardzija, a former semipro hockey player with no appetite for quitters.
"Let's just say I never sat out another practice again," Samardzija said.
To the contrary, dad taught Samardzija to become a ferocious competitor. A's catcher Derek Norris says Samardzija now approaches each start as if still wearing the helmet and pads he once sported as an All-America wide receiver at Notre Dame.
"He's still got that football mentality," Norris said. "For lack of better words, it's: 'I'm going to freaking kill you. I'm coming after you, and I'll do anything I can to get you out.'"
Regaining his intensity
That side of Samardzija, 29, was largely obscured during his seven seasons with the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs finished 31 games out last season, were 36 games out the year before that, 25 the year before that, and were the Cubs every year before that.
But when Samardzija takes the mound Friday at O.Co for his 12th start as an Athletic, he'll find himself in the thick of a pennant race for the first time in his career. The right-hander faces the Houston Astros with the A's (79-60) entering play five games out of first place and holding the top wild-card spot.
It's safe to say Samardzija is hungry again.
"I've learned to be consistently ready no matter the situation, but if I had it my way, every seat would be filled and the lights would always be on," he said. "That's why you play this game. That's what you strive to be part of."
If nothing else, pitching for the Cubs prepared Samardzija mentally for what it's like to pitch for a team with a struggling offense. He had a 1.46 ERA over his first 10 starts but was 0-4 because of his meager run support.
The A's bats have gone nearly as silent in the wake of the Yoenis Cespedes trade. But Samardzija is a tough guy to rattle.
Paul Mainieri, the baseball coach at Notre Dame, was among the first to see the pitcher's fiery side. Samardzija had been mostly an outfielder in high school and missed fall baseball practice because of football season.
So Mainieri was still getting to know him when the raw-armed freshman faced rival Michigan in front of Notre Dame's biggest home crowd of the year. The Irish led 3-0 with one out in the fourth inning when Samardzija suddenly lost control. He threw 12 consecutive balls -- 12! -- to walk the bases loaded.
Mainieri headed to the mound still debating whether to give the kid the hook.
"Well, what are you thinking?" the coach asked.
"I'm thinking you ought to go back to the dugout and let me get these next two hitters out," Samardzija replied.
Strikeout. Pop out. Inning over.
"I knew right then and there that there was something special about this kid," said Mainieri, now the head coach at LSU. "Here's an inexperienced pitcher in an environment that was really intense. He's a freshman and he tells the coach: 'Don't worry about it.'
"He has the most unflappable self-confidence of any athlete I've ever been around. The brighter the lights, the better this kid is."
Mainieri, of course, had only joint custody of Samardzija. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder belonged to the football team in fall.
And when the school hired Charlie Weis to replace Tyrone Willingham as head coach, the baseball coach and the football coach took a long car ride to get better acquainted.
The conversation, of course, turned to Samardzija. And Mainieri told the offensive-minded coach that the player was capable of so much more than the 24 catches he totaled in two seasons under Willingham.
"Charlie, I don't know how you define the word 'it' but this kid has 'it,' " Mainieri told him as they barreled down Interstate 90. "There is no doubt in my mind that he's a winner and that if you use him properly, that this kid could end up doing remarkable things for the football program."
A gridiron star
Samardzija promptly went on to set Notre Dame single-season records for catches (77, tied with Tom Gatewood's 1970 total), yards (1,249) and touchdowns (15) to earn consensus All-America honors. He was selected as team MVP along with quarterback Brady Quinn.
"The kid could catch anything," Quinn said when reached by phone this week. Quinn is looking to hook on for an eighth NFL season. "No matter where I put the ball, he could adjust his body and make an acrobatic move. Sometimes that meant making a catch and sometimes that meant keeping a foot in bounds. He was amazing.
"If he'd played in the NFL, I think he would have had a long and productive career. He was just a natural at whatever sport he played."
Baseball, though, was always his first love, so he eventually spurned basketball (he was part of a 5-on-5 campus championship team at Notre Dame), soccer (he started at age 5), hockey (his father's choice) and even football (despite first-round buzz).
Sheesh, Jeff, is there any sport you stink at?
"Golf," Samardzija said. "My swing looks like a junkyard. It's all pieced together."
Back in playoff hunt
The A's, of course, couldn't care less about his golf game, so long as he keeps the scores low on the diamond. Samardzija is 4-4 with a 3.57 ERA since being acquired with Jason Hammel in a July 4 trade. The Cubs got prospects Billy McKinney and Addison Russell, pitcher Dan Straily and a player to be named.
On the day he was traded to a first-place team, the Cubs were 111/2 games out.
Now, he has a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008, when he contributed 272/3 innings as a rookie out of the bullpen. Samardzija's lone postseason appearance: one inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Cubs 3-0.
"You get a little taste of it when you're young, and you think it's always going to happen," he said. "You kind of take it for granted and assume that that's the way things are."
Samardzija now is a savvier pitcher than he was as a rookie, the late bloom you'd expect from a ballplayer who spent so long moonlighting with football.
He was an All-Star for the first time this season, thanks to better control of a four-seam fastball that clocks in at an average of 94.6 mph, according to FanGraphs.com.
Samardzija also throws a two-seamer, a cutter, a splitter and a slider. But he and his catchers say that it's the improved command of that hard four-seamer that keys his game plan.
"He's a power pitcher, and he understands that," said A's backup catcher Geovany Soto, who also caught Samardzija in Chicago. "He's just always coming after you. He never quits. He's got a lot of determination, and he competes the whole game."
In the A's clubhouse, Samardzija has the locker next to Jon Lester, another veteran pitcher acquired for the stretch drive. But their careers are far apart: Lester already has two World Series rings and 11 career playoff starts.
Samardzija, the longtime Cub, is suddenly so close to October that he can taste it. And this is the kind of all-you-can eat buffet even his father could support.
"He doesn't back down against anybody," Norris said. "He's out to shove it up anybody's (nose) that he faces, whether he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer or a guy who just got called up. He's a competitor, man. You can see it."

A wreck involving several tractor-trailers and vehicles on Interstate 80 East in New Jersey on Tuesday evening has been cleared, and traffic is moving again.
The crash happened at mile marker 1.8 sometime around 8 p.m. and had initially caused traffic to back up.
Aimee Santiago-Blaha, who passed the wreck, said a tractor-trailer in the left lane was hit by a truck parallel to it in the right lane. That caused a second crash behind the two tractor-trailers involving a silver Toyota RAV4 that was rear-ended by another SUV.
No further details were available.

I use QCAD V184.108.40.206 - Demo
I was easily able to create an object consisting of 4 arcs and 1 line and mirror this to have my full object. All lines I talk about are in layer 0.
However I do need several versions of this object - all slightly different in size. So I decided to use the scale feature. This works well as long as I use 'Keep proportions'.
However as soon as I try to scale x by 0.9 and y by 1.1 only the 2 lines get scaled and copied.
Am I really so unlucky to stumble with my first drawing over a bug or am I just making a mistake? Any idea for a workaround? .DXF available upon request.
I made a block out of my object, but a block only has one scale factor. So this does not help as well.
Except for this problem QCAD would idealy suit my needs (at least if my final output can be processed by a laser cuting machine) without being too complicated

If you are tired of a purely blast or be blasted space fighter simulators, if you like making virtual money and a strong story line—and, yes okay, fighting your way from A to B in large virtual universes—then Vega Strike or one of its mods may be just the free software game for you.
As Napoleon the 17th, I must admit that [Vega Strike](http://Vega Strike.sourceforge.net/) is based within a 3D universe similar to our own, but in a thousand or so years. I should know I was there! Jump drives exist and so too the familiar smell of politics, economics and tribal warring alliances. You may trade and upgrade your ships and fly and fight through a graphically rich environment. Missions are available and the story line does not have to be linear. Better still, this OpenGL application has extra flavors such as a Privateer universe and a Star Trek universe to explore.

Politics is fun to follow from a distance, especially when you crank up the game and see a random start up poster subliminally filling your mind with random proganda to support one view point or another.
And this is where I admit to my motivation for writing about Vega Strike. When I was younger, clever, and able to jump tall buildings, I always wanted a BBC computer. My long forgotten friend George had one of those exquisitely designed computers all to himself and he was always rubbing my face into my inferior and cheaper choice of the ZX81. Anyway, the BBC computer was arguably the best from its generation, a bit like comparing the style and grace of a modern Apple with the mediocre grey of a standard office PC. To cut a long story short, George insistently played Elite and I never had enough online time. Well, thank the stars for Vega Strike, which has similar characteristics to Elite. Finally, I can, at last, out bid George and waste my days away.
Vega Strike has similar characteristics to Elite
Now that the positive atmosphere is set, I'll quickly show you how to install the game and we can dive into its immersive and addictive aspects.
Installing on Fedora Core 5
Installing Vega Strike is straight forward, but requires (at the time of writing) a direct download from the homepage of the project. As a system admin, you will need to update permissions so that the binary becomes executable, e.g.
chmod 700 and then execute. As shown in figure 2, a screen will pop up and then you will need to decide if you want to accept the default settings. Being of a lazy nature, the default settings looked good to me, so I just agreed without resistance or careful thought.
Next, I ran
vsinstall and a dialog appeared. After choosing your local machine's optimum values, save and then run
vegastrike from the command line.
Installing on Ubuntu
The simplest point and click approach for Ubuntu (I'm using version 6.06 Dapper Drake) is to use the Add Applications feature, which you activate via the
Applications→Add Applications option that by default sits at the top left hand corner of your desktop. Select Add/Remove application and you will see a basic dialog as shown in figure 3. Tick Vega strike from the games pane and apply. The package manager then asks you for an administrative password, then downloads, and automatically installs. Note you should now find a new Vega Strike menu option set under games. The whole effort from start to finish depends on your Internet bandwidth, but for me this was less than three minutes, not bad for such an excellent and free to use game. (Note: in older versions of Ubuntu the Add Applications feature is not quite as advanced as in Dapper Drake. If you have an earlier version you can either refer to Simple package management with Synaptic by Marco Marongiu or read on and use the command line.)
If you like the control of the command line then
apt-get is a valid tool for package installation under Ubuntu. To update the packages available you should run:
sudo apt-get update
Next you will need to search for the relevant packages:
sudo apt-cache search vegastrike
And finally install:
sudo apt-get install vegastrike
Yes, there is a Debian package for Vega Strike, but no RPM. This may be because I don't have a required YUM repository or more likely it might be a difference in distribution details.
A super fast tour of the software
I found Vega Strike to be a sensitive package with regard to my graphics cards. On the Fedora Core 5 distribution, with a graphics card built into the motherboard, the game was more than a bit sluggish. However, for my older and obviously wiser Radeon 9000 card, the game was spectacular fun. As is true for many compelling games a little bit of reading is required before properly starting the game. I found the basic tutorial gave the necessary momentum to get going. Therefore, unless you want to be very disappointed, read the tutorial for the prerequisite five minutes first. Okay then, perhaps ten minutes and a cup of coffee.

When you start the game for the first time I would recommend launching your spacecraft and setting out for a planet as explained in the tutorial. Note: "Shift + M" brings up the help box that details the basic key combinations. Once in the spacecraft after pressing "Shift + M" again you may cycle though the targets via the 'T' keystroke. After choosing the target you wish, press 'A' for autopilot. You will then have the so-called "SPEC" drive engaged. Pressing "Tab" fires the after burners and, when used in combination with the SPEC drive, it'll get you places fast. The arrow keys maneuver the craft and the F1 to F8 keys allow you to view the situation from different camera angles. To dock get close to your target, announce your presence with keystroke '0' and then dock with 'D'. The more you play, the easier the game becomes. You can trade, go on missions, update your spacecraft, and so forth. The better the ship, and the longer you play, the more dangerous your enemies become. That's the fun part.
Hints and first impressions
If you have an ecologically friendly printer, I would consider printing out the manual from pages 63-80. For the first twenty minutes of your virtual life follow the tutorial instructions and become one with your secret evil self. Once you have navigated to the mining base and docked (figure 4). You are probably ready to go out and modify your own complex destiny.
After playing the game for a couple of hours I relearned a childhood lesson, I really enjoy making large amounts of money and upgrading ships. The only minor downside was that the game occasionally froze for a good few seconds, though probably the issue was more to do with the status of my aged and senile computer as opposed to inherent issues in the software itself. Thus, once you have succeeded in a mission, remember to save your games.
I look forward to the next version of this product and hope that the development community is still active as the game has great potential to become a classic. The current release is version 0.43. I wonder what version 1.0 will look like.
In conclusion, I can now hold my head in pride. The era of the ZX81 inferiority complex is over thanks to relaxing hours spent with the excellent OpenGL application Vega Strike.
2D equivilant
I'm looking for a 2D equivilant of Vega Strike - like Escape Velocity for the Mac, but that will run on Linux and isn't too big a download. I would try Vega Strike, but it's not really possible for me to download 160 megabytes, and I've low-end integrated graphics.
Are there any Escape-Velocity-like games out there for Linux?
I don't know much about these games...
http://wolfpack.twu.net/ShipWars/XShipWars/ might be of interest? Don't know how similar it is to anything.
Vega Strike - Definately worth every penny.... and then some
This game is excellent. The Forums are alive and well, the development is not dead, the game play is great once you "get into it". There are quite a few controls, and you may have to edit a config file with a text editor - but its worth it!
I have a NVidea - and there are space stations that are pure chrome in appearance - where all you see are exact reflections of your surroundings... quite impressive.
I needed to modify a config file because (in win32) my 3 axis joystick was perfect except the twist or z-axis was reversed. So one change and I was 100% configured!
I have not mastered the commerce of it all yet - nor the battles - nor all the rules - but its a fun learning curve! Great game! I seriously would pay for this one - in fact I suggested on the forum how "packaged cd disk sets or dvd's" would be a great way to raise donation money.
This is one game that I really appreciate the efforts of the global community for.
Great Job People!
Escape velocity
First of all I would like to say that Escape Velocity remains one of my favorite games. That said I have seen some serious potential from vega strike. My only problem has been that I cant find where to buy the upgrade for jump flight. One other warning, the difficulty settings adjust game speed so don't make it too easy or you may find yourself getting very sleepy at the beginning and end of fights.
Has anybody played the 0.5.0 beta? The GUI has recieved a massive overhaul as well as a new autopilot system that's more than just a SPEC drive - it actually takes the path of lowest resistance and activates your spec drive, letting you just target a destination and click a button.
I was unfortunate enough to unwittingly fly into Aera space... in a llama.
Nice Post
Great! Thanks for the great informative post and your effort.
I think the above article is valuable for all concerned people. For me the Informations are really really useful. I've Bookmarked this page for future reference.
Thank you

Share your experiences with the Sunset Stampede below Back to event details page.
I have run it all three years. It just keeps getting better and better.
Have done this run both 2010 and 2011.
Race course logistics have improved drastically - the addition of the dividing barricades at the turns is a must. Keep it for next year.
Awesome after-party. Plenty of beverages for all.
I see this race growing in popularity even more, it is such a good time of the year and the time of day (6pm) is ideal.
The kids fun run was good, although we didn't know ahead of time we were allowed to run along with- that would have been helpful to know. The course was crowded and in my opinion was not well thought out. It is a beautiful area, and should have been dedicated to racers for an hour so the course could have maybe been in a different area. Overall not too bad =)
I ran the race last year and this year, it just keeps getting better! The after party is awesome.
We are Bushwacked! What a great time we had! The barricades on the 2-way route with the water stations were great! Keep that for next year. We have run this race for the last 3 years and it gets better all the time! Love the $$$$ awards too! Juanas did a great job with the afterparty too! Great music, great dancing and a great time had by all! The Navarre Runners and Walkers Meetup members and Galloway Trainees will definitely be there again next year!
Stayin' on the The Path...
We did this race last year and I think it was much better this year. The organization was great and the food, drinks, etc were awesome. However, the sand dollar awards were awful. Mine broke before I even got it to the car. Not much to show!!! I think medallions and ribbons are a much better way to go. Much better than beer glasses or fragile sand dollars. Will be there next year!!
not very happy. when i crossed the line i had to wait in a line to get water. There were only 2 coolers of water available. Water should have been pre-poured and ready as the runners crossed the line. It was very hot that day and that was poor planning. i was looking forward to the bushwackers after the race and had to ask 2 or 3 people where to go to get them. You would think they would have a sign or something. When we asked the bartender for them he looked like we were bothering him to get them for us. probably won't do this race again.
Getting Better and Better, just need more food and beverages
The whole family went and we had fun overall, but it's not something I'll do again. There was no water or sports drinks after the races, which would be fine if you knew ahead of time since the race ends in the parking lot near your cars and you had brought a cooler. There were two coolers of water with little spickets, but they ran out with 50-75 people still waiting in line. There was a box of bananas cut in half to make them go further, so the cut ends were brown and icky. The after party was great for adults, but not for kids. There were no beverages served except beer-you had to go into the bar for anything else. Some bottled water, soft drinks, or an urn of tea would have been a huge improvement. We paid $20 for a wristband for my husband to join us at the afterparty, and the bartender argued with him over asking for a Sprite for our son to drink with his food. We still had a good time, but I would recommend bottled water (or any water) at the finish, non-icky fruit, and some non-alcoholic drinks served with the food. On a good note, the race itself was fun, the course was well-marked, the area is beautiful, and the people were very nice and friendly. Oh, and the drum-line at the turn-around was GREAT!
First time running this race and I would have to agree with all comments regarding the water stituation at the end of the race. It won't prevent me from running next year but I like others will plan ahead and have a cooler in the car just in case this is overlooked again...All in all it was a good time!!!
This was my first time participating in the Sunset Stampede and I had a great time! Like someone said earlier the drummers at the turn-around point was fantastic. I would ask to have a better set-up with beverages after the run, as I couldn't get any water to save my life. Overall, great scenery and perfect running weather!
Did this run last year as well as this year. Great route, great/fun after party! The only suggestion I would have would be the water at the end of the run. With only having 1 cooler and the people pouring it by the spout one cup at a time, it wasn't the best idea. I agree with cups could have already been poured and put out or have more coolers and a faster way of getting the water to the runners. Other than that, fun run, great shirts, great times:)
This was my 1st year doing this event. I was very pleased. I got 5 cups of ice cold water and 3 bananas i.e (9 banana pieces). I think it helped with my recovery as I felt great in the next few days. Then I went to the most awesome finish party and consumed all the beer that I needed and enjoyed a perfect sunset with some pretty darn good music. Met some new friends. Missed the podium by 15 seconds but I wasn't bummed because the after race was so spectacular. I will be back next year for sure!! I drove from Panama City and this event was well worth the drive.
This was my second year for doing this run. Loved the tent outside - much better than last year - I did not even get food last year because of the crowd and the line for food. Great after party - music was good - beer was cold and the bushwackers were good. I also was frustrated about the water station. Had to wait in line for quite a while for a small cup of water that tasted HORRIBLE. Please - next year do bottled water!!!!!
The fun run and entertainment for the kids before was GREAT!!! Nice family event - ran the fun run with my two grandsons - alot of fun!!!!!!!! Will def do again!!!!
