Joel Godett Reviews Football's Wide Receivers
Ball State's Joel Godett reviews the football team's wide receivers with the differences that make the group a part of the team's dynamic offense.
The wide receivers corp has accounted for nearly 200 catches and over 1,600 receiving yards for the Cardinals this season.
Godett talks with quarterback Keith Wenning and wide receiver coach Keith Gaither on the impact of the receiving corp and what they do to be ready for each and every play.

This message from James Dobson was read today on Laura Ingraham's show:
"I'm deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, who voted for embryonic stem cell research to kill nascent human beings, who opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, and who has little regard for freedom of speech, who organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language.
"I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has at times sounded more like a member of the other party. McCain actually considered leaving the GOP in 2001, and approached John Kerry about being Kerry's running mate in 2004. McCain also said publicly that Hillary Clinton would make a good president. Given these and many other concerns, a spoonful of sugar does not make the medicine go down. I cannot, and I will not vote for Sen. John McCain, as a matter of conscience.
"But what a sad and melancholy decision this is for me and many other conservatives. Should John McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime. I certainly can't vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions. If these are the nominees in November, I simply will not cast a ballot for president for the first time in my life. These decisions are my personal views and do not represent the organization with which I'm affiliated. They do reflect, however, my deeply held convictions about the institution of the family, about moral and spiritual beliefs, and about the welfare of our country."

When looking for a new speaker or speaker system the two biggest things I look for are sound quality and design. The AQ SmartSpeaker meets both of those requirements. The great sound quality, expandability, and portability should make for the perfect speaker package. Do they? Keep reading for my complete review.
The AQ SmartSpeaker by AQ Audio is a portable wireless speaker system that can not only run in a single speaker configuration, but also can run with multiple other AQ Smart Speakers for either a 3 channel set up, or for listening to the same music source in separate rooms in the house.
Set Up is simple and takes roughly 30 seconds depending on your level of computer knowledge. Plug the AQ SmartSpeaker in. Set up the system for either Wi-Fi Direct for your Android Device or AirPlay for your iOS devices. Also if you would rather, there is a 3.5mm aux input jack for use with MP3 players and other devices that do not have Wi-Fi or AirPlay abilities.
The AQ SmartSpeaker has a small size that fits into multiple locations. If you're looking for a discrete speaker that you can place behind other devices to have a great sound through out your house without the intrusive look of having speakers everywhere then this is what you have been looking for.
These speakers have a black speaker fabric front with grey rubberized plastic back and red rubberized bottom. This keeps the speaker secure on most surfaces without sliding and falling onto the floor. There is also a nice chrome trim that wraps around the speaker. The top of the speaker features volume up and down buttons, Wi-Fi LED, and the Power/Mode button. ON the back you have the switch for either Middle Channel, Right Channel, or Left Channel (depending on the configuration you happen to be running), reset button, DC power input jack, 3.5mm aux audio input, and a USB jack to update the device firmware.
If you noticed up top I mentioned that these were also portable. Being plugged into a wall outlet doesn't make for a very portable speaker. AQ Audio has packed enough battery power into these speakers that provide up to 20 hours of playback time using the 3.5mm input jack or 10 hours over Wi-Fi. There is also a battery save function that automatically shuts the device off if it detects an extended period of time that the device is idle.
Sound quality of the AQ SmartSpeaker is stellar with crisp sound and rock sold bass reproduction. The speakers put out 24 Watts of power through two 8 ohm drivers.
The AQ SmartSpeakers function just like any other AirPlay speaker when used via either you iPhone/Pod/Pad or iTunes on your computer. If you are an Android person, AQ has an app that allows you to play your music via a Direct Wi-Fi connection from your phone to the speaker.
AQ SmartSpeakers are compatible with iTunes 10.1 and newer, iPhone 5, 4S, 4,and 3GS, iPod Touch (2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th generation), iPad, iPad 2 and The New iPad, iPad Mini, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Android devices.
Price for the AQ SmartSpeaker is
$179.00 $159.00 for one speaker, $318 for two, $477 for three and discounts for the more you buy. They are available at the AQ Audio Web Site.

Empty Bowls Project Raises Over $24,000 for Hunger Ministry
Good Samaritan Ministries held their annual Empty Bowls fundraiser Thursday, which was a huge success raising $24,742.50 to help fund their hunger ministry.GSM's annual hunger ministry has an annual budget of $150,000, of which this year's event will fund 16%, according to Program Manager Misty Bowers.
There were 918 diners were in attendance this year. Each participating by donating a suggested $10 each for a handmade bowl of their choice and a simple meal of soup, bread and water. At the end of the meal, the diners were encouraged to take the empty bowl home to serve as a reminder that there are those in our own community who have empty bowls and empty stomachs.
Soup for the event was donated by local 19 restaurants. Eleven main sponsors included Wal-Mart, Big Country Ford, Comanche Electric Co-Op, Citizens National Bank, Encompass Health Care, Roberson Rent-All, Texas Bank, TXU, Doug and Sarah Chandler, Howard Payne University and Landmark Life. In addition to these main sponsors, there were also 22 table sponsors.
GSM will tithe ten percent to an organization that fights hunger internationally. This year, as they have for the previous two, GSM will send the tithe of $2,474.25 to Food for the Hungry who has hunger programs in Africa, Asia and South America.
Bowers stated that GSM staff and volunteers are very pleased with the outcome of this year's event.
"We are so incredibly pleased with the turnout this year considering we closed five hours earlier than in the past," said Bowers. "We are so thankful to everyone who participated either in sponsorships, table sponsors, donating soup, water or ice, painting bowls, glazing bowls or just showing up to choose a bowl and have some soup."
GSM hunger ministries have provided the following in the past year:
- 36,408 servings of venison given through The Deer Project
- 936,734 pounds of food given through the GSM food pantry
- 4,495 bags of food given to students for the weekend through the Food for Thought Program which served 14 local school campuses.
Pictured above a young attendee picks out his bowl. Below are photos of the event and participants.

The term high performance home may conjure images of high-tech computerized houses, but high performance homes arent futuristic at all.
They are specialized homes, in everyday neighborhoods, that help to conserve energy and money.
Theres more to these homes than simply adding solar panels to the roof.
High performance homes not only cut operating cost and conserve energy, but also improve comfort and durability.
If a high performance home is being built from the ground up, several factors should be considered with the help of a professional, such as air sealing, insulation, crawlspaces, windows and doors, the siding of the house, roofing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, water heating, conservation, lighting, appliances, and solar energy.
Depending on the house, the integrity of a home can be compromised if it isnt built properly.
A house that isnt properly insulated is a common example. Insulation problems can mean cool air is leaking from the house or there are several drafts within the space. These leaks can cause the homeowner to increase the thermostat unnecessarily, spiking in the electricity bill.
In order to renovate or build a high performance home, specific steps are required in lieu of a few simple renovations.
EarthCraft is a point-based green building program that rewards energy efficient, healthy, sustainable, and durable steps throughout the building process of a high performance home.
According to the EarthCraft website, in order for a home to be certified it must meet a number of criteria to ensure sustainability, efficient design and function of a high performance home.
Josh Cavanagh, a local master builder, is a resident of Summerville who flipped his house to a high performance home with the help of his own company, High Performance Homes of South Carolina.
Cavanagh bought his current home in 2012, a pre-foreclosure, when he and his family moved back to South Carolina from Kentucky.
Cavanagh said the home presented too many opportunities for him not to buy the house and start fresh.
I literally put my money where my mouth is, he said.
In order to transform his rundown house to a high performance home, and meet the requirements of EarthCraft, Cavanagh had to start with the bones of the structure.
Once he gutted his home, Cavanagh reinsulated every square inch of the house to the best of his ability, corrected ventilation mishaps, installed high energy efficient windows and doors, and a heat pump water heater with over 60 percent more efficiency to name just a few improvements.
Through the restoration of his house, EarthCraft awarded Cavanagh a total of 140 points and its highest level, platinum.
Cavanagh said his electricity bill has been less than a $100 a month while his neighbors tell him theirs range from $200 to $250.
My home is so tight and well insulated, that during the ice storm earlier this year, I was able to run a generator and one space-heater to warm the entire house, he said.
The total renovation of Cavanaghs home took a little over four months to complete. Cavanaugh said high performance homes are the best things people can do for their families and lifestyles.
I did this completely because I know without a doubt this is the only house I want to live in, he said.

Five Star at the Movies – Week of Dec 14-20, 2009
First up, for fans of such disparate titles as Titanic and Terminator comes James Cameron's latest, Avatar. This big-budget extravaganza is set in a new and distant world, one that is currently devoid of luxury hotels... But filming for this special-effects driven masterpiece took place, in part, in a place a bit closer to home: Hawai'i. For your next trip to the islands, try the paradise-on-earth bliss of Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa in sunny Wailea, Hawai'i. You may not see alien creatures teeming about, but you'll certainly enjoy a luxury golf, dining, and spa resort that is out of this world!
For those interested in a slightly different approach, the romantic comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans? stars the always appealing Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. The film finds our heroes witnessing a murder in New York City before entering the witness protection program in rural Wyoming. One of America's most beautiful states, Wyoming is the kind of backdrop that inspires open mouth stares at the beautiful power of its wilderness. To take it all in, visit the Snake River Lodge and Spa in Teton Village. This resort will put you at the foot of the Grand Teton mountains, with unrivaled panoramas.
Finally, new on DVD this week comes Quentin Tarantino's latest, Inglorious Basterds. This sometimes gruesome movie recounts the tale of a rogue band of heroes fighting against the Axis powers during World War II. The German backdrop has certainly changed a lot since the early 1940s, and there are plenty of luxury hotel options. One such place is the Schlosshotel Im Gruenwald in Berlin. This is one of Berlin's finest luxury offerings, and will tempt the traveler with its classic European style, as the Schlosshotel is set in a historic castle.

WATCHUNG — Police reported making five warrant arrests last week.
• Carlos Larrea, 25, of North Plainfield was arrested at 8:53 a.m. on Feb. 26, on Watchung Avenue, after police ran a random registration check and discovered the registered owner held a special drivers' license, police said.
Larrea matched the description of the owner, so police stopped the car. During the stop, dispatch found an outstanding warrant for $264 out of North Plainfield. Larrea was arrested, taken to headquarters, processed and released after posting cash bail of $264.
• Latasha Lowe, 30, of Rahway was arrested at 1:33 p.m. on Feb. 24, at the Clark Police Department, on a Watchung warrant, police said. Lowe was unable to post the $500 bail, so she was picked up in Clark and taken to the Somerset County Jail.
The on-duty nurse at the jail learned that Lowe was pregnant and, because she was a drug addict, she needed to be stabilized at the hospital. Lowe was transported to Somerset Medical Center and treated for her condition.
Deputy Court Administrator Loretta Shpunder was contacted and released Lowe on her own recognizance. Lowe was then discharged from Somerset Medical Center and taken back to the Watchung Police Department until she was turned over to the Ocean County Sheriff's Department.
• Danny Reyes, 44, of Plainfield was arrested following a traffic stop for allegedly having two brake lights out at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 28 on Watchung Avenue.
After the officer entered the driver's information, he learned Reyes had a suspended drivers' license and a warrant for $857 out of Plainfield.
Reyes was arrested, taken to police headquarters, cited for driving while suspended and failure to maintain lamps, and given a court date. He posted the cash bail and was released.
• Vanessa D. Casaretto, 30, of Washington, was arrested at 4:16 p.m. on Feb. 28, on Hillcrest Road, for having active warrants out on her for $150 from Rahway, $200 from Paramus and $500 from Kearny.
She was taken to headquarters and subsequently turned over to Rahway Police Department in lieu of bail.
• Daniel E. Cervasio, 33, of Nutley was arrested at 3:56 p.m. on March 2, during a traffic stop in the course of a suspicious person investigation on Route 22 west. Cervasio was the passenger in a vehicle in which the driver told police he did not have a valid drivers' license.
Cervasio was then identified and police learned there were two warrants totaling $500 from Nutley out for him. He was taken to headquarters, photographed and later released to the custody of the Nutley Police Department for transport to the Essex County Jail.

9. Lawyers
Annual mean wage: $133,470
Training time: 7 years
2012: Annual mean wage: $131,990
People are quick to use colorful adjectives to describe lawyers, but when you're in a bind, a good one can be a lifesaver. On average, lawyers make a comfortable living, in part due to the years of schooling required to attain their position and the fact that they earn a mean hourly wage on par with many positions in the medical field. More than half a million lawyers make up the workforce, with more than a third of those practicing general law, as opposed to working for various levels of government and industry. California and New York lead the way with more than 135,000 practicing lawyers working in the two states alone. Being able to think quickly and speak in front of groups are two attributes of a successful lawyer, but lawyers typically need a bachelor's degree, three years of law school and completion of the bar exam.

Thanks for a Great Open House!
Yesterday's open house was a whirlwind. I'll admit that I spent the morning fairly certain that no one would come- the weather was weird, Sundays are lazy, and I sometimes lack social confidence.
But you, tiny house people, did not let me down. At exactly 12:58, a throng of people appeared, trudging through the mud. Children, farmers, urbanites, college officials- an incredibly kind and interesting crowd filled the house from start to finish. There was even a line outside!
One lovely lady brought me daffodils; another family brought me a cake from a favorite bakery. Everyone brought questions, cameras, and positive reinforcement. I wish I'd taken more pictures, but I was so busy answering questions that I didn't get a chance! Here's a few photos I snapped:
Some of the first attendees- laughs all around
No problem getting up to the loft

Per my mom's request, I also started a guestbook. It was a great way to track where people were coming from- I had guests from

The fisherman, who's "addicted to Dancing with the Stars" thanks to his family, says he'd compete on the show "just because it's a challenge."
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Hansen discussed costume ideas with Jay Leno and practiced the cha cha with a professional dancer.
But the captain admitted, "When you're used to being your own boss and all of a sudden you've got this little girl that's telling you what to do, it's not an easy pill to swallow."
Although he may be more comfortable on the Bering Sea than in front of Dancing's panel of judges, Hansen has a message for the outspoken Bruno Tonioli: "I want to kick his a--," he says.
Meanwhile, fans have started a petition on Facebook in hopes of getting Hansen on ABC's ballroom competition. Hey, it worked for Betty White and SNL. --Sarah Schlow

When will they ever learn?
Deaglán de Bréadún
The worldwide reaction to the killings of the British soldiers and the Craigavon police officer has been very striking. One senses a deep international disappointment that a problem which seemed to have been resolved is now unravelling.
Even Al Jazeera's English-language station got in on the act. The present writer was asked to go on a news-discussion programme with the great Eamonn Mallie, one of the doyens of the N.I. journalistic scene. I took part in the show from a studio in Dublin.
Eamonn has vast experience in the North and placed great importance on Martin McGuinness's description of the republican dissidents as "traitors". I take it this means that Sinn Fein will support the security crackdown on the dissidents that is already taking shape.
How that crackdown is conducted is very important. The old cliché that "repression breeds violence" is only a cliché because it's true. It is vital in these situations to retain the high moral ground. In a wider context recently we saw Israel concede that ground to the Palestinians when they responded to the immoral Hamas rocket attacks with a disproportionate display of force that led to the deaths of many innocent civilians especially children.
On the Al Jazeera programme there was another guest who wanted the dissidents "hunted down like animals". That's daft talk and plays right into the hands of those who want a return to turmoil and heartbreak. Remember how Internment and Bloody Sunday swelled the ranks of the IRA and fuelled a campaign that lasted more than 20 years?
When will they ever learn?

Television coverage seems to have largely caught up with the hurricane story — or vice versa. As the flooding in New Orleans appears to get markedly worse, the cable news coverage has become more serious, less inflated — and the images more compelling.
It's odd, in 2005, to think that there is still a kind of lag time in news delivery. The ability to get helicopters in the air really does matter. Heavens, CNN is showing video of inmates from a flooded prison, hunkering in their orange jumpsuits. Fox News, meanwhile, is touting Jesse Jackson/Hugo Chavez.
MSNBC, too, seems to be going wall to wall with the hurricane.
Ummm, I'll take Wolf Blitzer to block.

The lights went down, and the energy in the stadium instantly peaked. Thousands of fans screamed and applauded as the band took the stage. Me, i had eyes for only him.
He stood at the back of the stage - elevated, with Danny on drums. In front of him was Adam on guitar and on the far side of the stage was Justin on bass. Hanging from the ceiling were screens, and behind the band and directly ON the stage various images, videos, and clips were projected. Their videographer was excellent and they were so tight with thier visual cues. Maynard would often stomp his foot and the images would change....
Please imagine the red and yellow to be images of flames.
Maynard wore his signature cowboy hat, and sunglasses.
The band is sooo tight, and they have to be. Their music is filled with changing time signatures and poly-rhythms, often we'd look and see Justin rocking frantically back and forth while Danny drummed out GOD KNOWS what kind of rhythms.
There were three spotlights on the band.... leaving Maynard in the shadows the entire show. I think it's kinda neat that he wants the fans to focus on the other members, and you do. You totally focus on how hard they are working and how FUCKING hard they are rocking out!
There was no shortage of drugs being had... there was enough pot smoke in the air to get the whole stadium high. (In fact, my house smelled like SkunkTown before we left for the concert... not from smoking it, but from the various people cutting it and rolling it...all told between the 13 people staying at our place that night there were enough joints rolled to please your average touring Funk Band)
I don't remember the set list, B-rad remembers more than i do, i just know that with every song it was as if the energy and intensity of the concert and the fans rose a notch. You could definately tell the Die Hard Tool Fans from the Radio Fans. at varying intervals, the band would leave the stage (for a well deserved break) and there would be projections and ambient noises... the die hards - you could tell - were soaking it all in, every last drop of anything the band gave them... the radio fans were screaming: "MORE!! Do Something!"....they are!!
Finally the moment arrived. They began the first few riffs of "TenThousand Days - Wings for Marie" and i thought my heart would explode.
Here's a bit of background quickly:
Maynard grew up in a southern baptist home, where his step-father was a minister. His mother, Judith Marie, was a devout baptist - and even when she was crippled by a stroke she never once lost her faith or questioned God. Not so for Maynard. There are a few songs written for his mother, one of them is "Judith" that he recorded with the band A Perfect Circle wherein he questions his mother's undying faith: "It's not like you killed someone, it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side, Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed, he did it all for you" During the writing period for the album 10,000 Days Maynard's mother died - approx 27 years after having the stroke that left her crippled. (10,000 Days equals roughly 27 years). The song is for his mother, and the part that gets me everytime is: "You're the only one who can hold your head of high, shake your fists at the gate cyring: I've Come Home Now! Fetch me the Spirit, The Son, and the Father! Tell them their pillar of Faith has ascended! It's Time Now! MY Time NOW! Give me my, give me my WINGS!" woo. I get goosebumps just remembering it. (for the
full lyrics to this song go here)
Before playing this song at the concert, Maynard pleaded to the audience to refrain from flash photography. I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to play this song over and over again at each show - which is why i count myself DOUBLY blessed that i saw it live, cuz i doubt they'll ever play it again for any subsequent tours. In my opinion, this song was the best performance of the night. It's difficult not to get swept up in the passion when he sings.
When the concert was over, the band met together on the stage and had a group hug. I love that about them, that they share their love and energy and congratulate themselves. Then Maynard gave a quick wave and left the stage - allowing the rest of the band time to soak in the applause and thundering screams of the fans.
Many times during the night, i was making mental notes of things to remember for my blog - eventually i stopped and let the music take over me. There was no way i'd remember anyway. But i do remember thinking: "This is the greatest show on Earth. How could anyone go to this concert and NOT KNOW that Tool is greatest band on the planet?" so, it must have been really good. lol.
And now i will put away my lust for the Man and the Band (well, on my blog anyway - i still sometimes call b-rad Maynard in bed...tee heee) until the next album, or release, or concert. Thanks for putting up with my school girl obsession. and i'll leave you with this clip of Danny Carey playing drums for the last couple of minutes of "Lateralus" (which they played right after 10,000 Days)...
Turn off the TV, Think for yourself, Question Authority
Love to all of you,
PS - Here's is a great review of the Saskatoon Concert.

you will see
You are wrong anti, the dividend will be declared tonight. You were off by 1 day. The dividend will be cut too =(
nope 1.25 for at least this qtr
Who is this punk?
Sentiment: Hold
can something be done legally with someone posting things he knows are lies? i have already forwared his dividend lies to the SEC
Predictions are nice if not always right.
Next time though, it might be better if you didn't headline your thread with one.
Many here await, with bated breath, the real dividend announcement.
Threads like this one sometimes draw the ire of the collective board.
Since last December, the declaration dates are as follows:
I can see where one may have made the assumption that AGNC might have declared today.
In the past, AGNC has made announcements after hours, but I am not sure if a dividend declaration was amoung any of them.
AGNC has not declared its dividend on or after the 17th since 12/17/10, going on 2yrs,
not on the 18th for 1yr. before that(12/18/09).
Before that, all of the previous dividend declarations were on or AFTER the 19th.
The latest dividend announcement of a 4th quarter payment was the 19th(2008).
AGNC's 4th quarter ex-dates were all before that year's end:
29th,08;(12/19 decl.,Fri.)
29th,09;(12/18 decl.,Fri.)
29th,10;(12/17 decl.,Fri.)
20th,11;(12/12 decl.,Mon.)
I think AGNC declares on Monday, the 17th of December, in the 2012 year of our Lord.
Good luck,
My guess is after hours tomorrow, Friday the 14th. But I also predicted it would go up after I bought calls on Tuesday. DOH!
Hey Foxy,
If your prediction is right (and I hope it is) put longs are toast.
You must be very disappointed, with no announcement today. It looks like AGNC is going back to it's typical December announcement date of 17-19 Dec. Last year (announced on the Dec. 12th, was either an attempt to stimulate the economy with an early dividend OR an expectation by management that they might get another SPO done before year-end. Take your pick, but were back to announcing next week.
Sentiment: Buy
Are you a friggin nut,quit making false predictions!!
wrong. again.

While the pharmaceutical space has been generating hefty returns for investors since the start of the year, shares of Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: TEVA ) are up a mere 2.7%. Compare that with Dow component Pfizer, which has soared almost 14%, and generic-drug maker Mylan, up 42% since the start of 2013, and it's clear that something serious is muting Teva's growth. In the following video from The Motley Fool's health-care show Market Checkup, analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss the major competitive threats confronting Teva today.

Okay well crisis averted, I passed as many as I could out to my office (they got sort-of tired of them after a few, they're pretty rich). And I just ate the rest, wasn't much, so the binge was limited and contained... :-)
So not a week after I started on the Primal Blueprint, my mom's package came with two huge bags of amazing cookies...ugh...good thing we have this 80% rule, I'll probably stick to eating 1 maybe 2 a day, but they are darn irresistable...just passed them out to my office and they're going nuts about them (idea on how good they are). Self-discipline, this one's going to be hard...
Okay well crisis averted, I passed as many as I could out to my office (they got sort-of tired of them after a few, they're pretty rich). And I just ate the rest, wasn't much, so the binge was limited and contained... :-)
Yeah I brought in a couple bags of wasabi peas to the office. I LOVE wasabi peas, but they're sugary and gluteny. And our office park management hands out boxes of candy for "the holidays" so I've got that trap to avoid too.
We got two packages of Cheryl's Cookies on the same day - one from my hubby's boss, one from his mom. While they look amazing, I just can't do it. My daughter insisted that I try a bite. I took one tiny little nibble; they're just too sweet. It's more of an emotional response. I mean, it's Christmas, you ahve to have some cookies, right? Fortunately, I know immediately - after one bite - that my body doesn't want them.
Sugar is a trigger for me--makes my appetite insatiable, but it's also poison for me, as my arthritis flares up, etc., etc. I find that total abstinence is the only way I can control this. One bite of a cookie or a piece of candy, and I'm lost in a sugar haze as I gobble away.
Ironically, once I'm committed to NOT even one bite, I can be around sweets all day with nary a temptation.
I'm convinced that so much of this is psychological.
Well I definately got my sugar high on those cookies. Whew, I felt the crash coming, got some good strong coffee to level it out. I don't get off work until midnight anyways. I reset by only having veggies and meat, no fruit so the carb count, though coming from the wrong area, was stunted at the cookies. And yes, I definitely agree it's emotional, I mean, what kind of son would I be if I didn't have a few of my mom's cookies she took the time to bake and mail out here? She knows I love them (never was a cake person, always had cookies for my b-day!), so she send them when she can, almost as a test to my willpower...I lose normally...but I try to minimize the loss by spreading the wealth!!! Other than that, the stuff we have around here that pass as snacks were bland, prepackaged chips, muffins, etc etc and I really never touched those to begin with due to not really liking them anyways. Guess the biggest slap on the hand for me was the fact that I usually ate 1 or 2 sandwiches with wheat bread for dinner for at least 5 months (not knowledgable as I am now). I look at everyone else indulging and want to say something but somehow telling them that grains are not healthy seems like BS to them... can't get em to come around... oh well I guess...
It's great to hear that all of you handled your cookie crisis so well, I hope you will be a good example for me
I'll have to bake cookies today for a christmas party on Monday, I wouldn't want to but I know that two friends will be very happy about it so I will just make a small selection and try not to eat too much of them. I'm worried though because I'll at least have to taste them to know whether they turned out right and for me there is still a big risk that things will go downhill from there and I'll end up having my first big sugar binge since going primal.
At least it will all be over on Monday. Much better than last year were I made 14 types of cookies for family and friends and snacked on them during the entire advent season. Yuck.
If you're worried about binging on sugar, I would advise you to have someone else taste the cookies. I don't know what it's like for you, but eating sugary things puts me into a really destructive mindset. That's unlikely to happen to most people, but sugar can definitely trigger a drug-like need to eat more and more of it, and you're pretty much guaranteed to feel sick after a lot of it.
I have rather severe osteoarthritis and have been off all meds (Rx or OTC) for the past 5 years by eating an anti-inflammatory diet and exercising (in water mostly). I've found that sugar is one of the worst things--if I indulge in a dessert, the next morning, my joints will be on fire. It's definitely the sugar. I avoid artificial sweeteners as well, but I'm not as sure about their inflammatory effects as I am about sugar--although I avoid them because my body seems to react to them like sugar--i.e., I get both tired and hungry almost immediately.

Web Gui Fix Poll
This is a WikiPoll
to ascertain opinions on the controversial yet important issue of what to do about the frustrating state of web/http-based GUI development. If you wish to vote, please list your handle as shown in the first item, or just increment the "Anonymous" count by one if you want your vote to remain anonymous. Also feel free to add new reasons, as long as you are careful about overlaps. You can vote in multiple categories, but try to limit it to two if possible.
The best fix for the current web/http-based GUI problem is:
1. The browser environment is fine the way it is, or expecting better is unrealistic due to the complexities of desired GUI's:
Anonymous: 0
SampleUser1, SampleUser2, SampleUser3
2. A new GUI-friendly markup language is needed that has common GUI idioms built in, reducing need to hand-code them or send huge libraries to client:
Anonymous: 0
is insufficient as a browser infrastructure/library language such that another programming language is needed:
Anonymous: 0
4. A single source library is needed for the "browser" base code (such as all C or all Java) so that standards are not a matter of interpretation of textual rules/standards. This may require completely redoing existing browsers:
Anonymous: 0
5. AJAX and/or other
-based libraries just need to be perfected over time:
Anonymous: 0
6. A new DOM is needed:
Anonymous: 0
(Note: similar to #4, except it's based on a new written standard, not a single base code library.)
I remember vote numbers. Did a vandal wipe them out? I saw that the page got clobbered recently and maybe was restored from an archive that was before voting activity? Hmmm. Either that, the vandal wiped my own memory; at least I'll blame it on them.

The convicted drug dealer whose proposed release prior to the expiration of his minimum prison sentence brought protests from two local prosecutors will now be behind bars for at least another two years, according to a new decision by the State Board of Probation and Parole.
A spokeswoman for the state Board, Sherry Tate, said Tuesday that the parole of Randy "Braids" Hernandez, 26, has been rescinded because new information was presented to members of the Board.
Blair County District Attorney Richard A. Consiglio called the decision of the Board of Probation and Parole in January to parole Hernandez "very improper."
"I think it was horrendous," he then added.
According to Consiglio, Senior Deputy Attorney General Dave Gorman, a former Blair County District Attorney who prosecuted Hernandez as part of a drug organization that distributed heroin and cocaine in the Altoona area in the late 2000s, is the person who provided the new information to members of the Parole and Probation Board.
He said he didn't know what that information was, but he said he appreciated Gorman's efforts.
Gorman could not be reached for comment.
Hernandez is serving an eight- to 16-year prison sentence at the State Correctional Institution, Benner, in Centre County.
On Jan. 30, Consiglio and his top drug prosecutor, Pete Weeks, received notice that Hernandez, after serving only six years, was paroled to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement so he could be deported to his native Belize in Central America.
Weeks called the move "extremely frustrating," and Consiglio called it "outrageous."
The Board of Probation and Parole reasoned that Hernandez had shown "positive" behavior in prison, accepted responsibility for his offenses, completed several institutional programs and that his removal from the prison system was "in the best interests of the Commonwealth."
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has been seeking parole for non-citizens so they can be deported.
The premise is that Hernandez, a drug dealer, is considered a non-
violent offender.
That idea was rejected by Blair County officials who pointed out Hernandez was part of a Brooklyn Blood organization that then-Attorney General, now-Gov., Tom Corbett called "a very dangerous criminal organization."
Hernandez was arrested as part of the drug investigation "Operation Blood Clot."
Consiglio and Weeks argued that Hernandez grew up in New York, not Belize, and that even if he was deported, he would soon be back on the streets distributing drugs.
Tate said she could not make public the additional information that was presented to board members but that each member of the board who voted for Hernandez's parole would have had to okay its rescission.
She said Hernandez's minimum sentence will expire in February 2016, the next time he will be considered for parole.
He could still be paroled to ICE if that organization maintains its deport
ation order against Hernandez.
While the Department of Corrections is attempting to reduce the state's prison's population, Consiglio said the other side of the story is that releasing drug dealers prior to their minimums is simply putting criminals back on the streets.
Hollidaysburg attorney Robert Donaldson represented Hernandez and was able to obtain a relatively short jail term for him compared to other drug-related sentences handed down by Blair County judges.
He said that "at the end of the day either option for Randy Hernandez (staying in prison or being deported) is not too good."
He said Hernandez had no connections to Belize.
While Donaldson said drug dealing is a danger to society, in his year
long association with Hernandez he did not find him to be a violent individual.
"I had a lot of time with the young man, and I wouldn't consider him violent," he said.

Falling in love again – MAC's Face & Body, a review
You have to give in to the inevitable when not one, not two but three make-up artists recommend the same foundation to you – and so it was with a hesitant and, frankly, suspicious, spirit that I purchased my first …
You have to give in to the inevitable when not one, not two but three make-up artists recommend the same foundation to you – and so it was with a hesitant and, frankly, suspicious, spirit that I purchased my first bottle of Mac Face & Body foundation. And it was one that, I'll be honest, I found it hard to properly fall in love with – until I truly gave in and fell in love (again) with a foundation*.
This is not a foundation as I know it; it is more of a light fluid, with a tint – and, as a result, I've ended up using a lot more of it than I would have with previous, thicker formulations. It covers skin with a sheer coat, which make-up artists tell me is better, as I don't need heavy coverage, but the joy of it, I've found, is that it can be built up. I started my journey with Face & Body not loving this entirely – I found a certain terror in knowing that my foundation was very sheer, and I yearned for the days of yore when foundations were thick and my natural complexion was covered.
Practice, however, makes perfect – and in one short month (and barely an inkling of the fluid gone – this baby is definitely a laster) I have figured out exactly how much I need to apply (with my fingers, natch) and where to apply it (mostly to the T zone and then sparingly over cheeks and temples). The best bit? Everyone admires it. Seriously, everyone. I don't think I've had a single day wearing this foundation during which one person hasn't commented on how luminous my skin looks – and my skin? Well, it hasn't looked this good since I was lying about my age to bouncers in the Soundhouse in Johnstown. Claaaaaaasssy.
(That could have a bit to do with my new Neostrata regime, more on which later!)
But seriously: MAC Face & Body, I love you. My new favourite, my new saviour. The only drawback is that it's too big for carry-on (I'm such a jetsetter, don'tcha know) and if you spill it, you can bet it's going everywhere. Thank heaven for little cleaning ladies.
Have you tried it? What's your foundation of choice? Share with the group!
* The first was Estee Lauder's Double Wear, and it was a tough, one-way love – I gave and I gave, but all it did was take my youth and my moisture. I swore to myself I'd never go back, but sometimes, when I've got a heavy night coming up . . . well. You can imagine.

|Whimsical, Funky, Casual
Yes, yes, I am an experimenter. You should see the pile of fibre I have collected in the past few weeks. Try a carrier thread for yarns that are too thick, I see you have stones in the mix of beads, have you though of trying some of the clon or mastex/conso cords? I use those for micromacrame, and knotting with semi precious beads, I reckon that would work a tread, you can try to use some glue on the thread to stiffen up an "artificial needle" that way you are not trying to force something the size of a melon through a hole the size of a lemon.
Brilliant!!!! Thanks so much, Bianca!
I just love it when my students "talk" to each other and share ideas!!! So inspiring. :-)))))
This necklace is just about finished. Sorry I have been out of touch, I have been hosting a workshop in addition to working. Tomorrow the pic will come.
I love the way that you strung your beads. Is than an adjustable I-cord closure? Brilliant. :-)
Yes... I dreamed it up after not liking any of the regular findings for this kind of necklace. Easy... just end the icord with any cool beads then, make a small wrapper with Kitchner graft do the slider. Attach both your strung beads and the adjustable icord to any appropriate donuts . Thanks for liking it!

Getting Started
How do I install GLScene?
GLScene should be installed like a Delphi package, by opening the relevant ".dpk" file (GLScene5.dpk for Delphi5, GLScene6.dpk for Delphi6, etc.) and then clicking "Install" (check your Delphi manual for more details).
The sound-support and other optional packages install in a similar fashion, but make sure the underlying sound API/DLLs have been properly installed before attempting to install a package.
Typical problems:
Samples run ok, but compile/design does not: recompile the dpk and make sure you do not have multiple version of the files
Samples don't run, compile/design does: make sure an up-to-date bpl is accessible to the exe (like in the Delphi\Bin directory)
Errors with ODE, check the DLL you're using is the good one (just copy it from the Physics directory)
Can I use GLScene in my *whatever* product ?
GLScene is currently distributed under Mozilla Public License, see
for details. In short, this means it is not public domain and the agreement consists in what is stated in the MPL, that is:
can use freely, in free or commercial software, can redistribute freely the packages (source, exe, bpl etc.)
remains copyrighted software, you must place/leave a notice whenever you use/distribute it, with proper credit/link to author/site
any alterations/modifications to the code must be made public (to owner and users)
additions, libraries or code that just uses GLScene do not fall under MPL, and can be private/commercial
Where is the Help ? Where is the tutorial ?
The help is in the "Help" subdirectory, in HTMLHelp format (check the "download" section if you are using Win95 and need HTMLHelp support). It is regularly updated, but GLScene is currently growing faster than the help file.
A beginner tutorial is included in the GLScene\help folder. alternatively you can check out the
on-line tutorials
The only 'core' tutorials available are the samples/demos. Check them from first to last, read the comments in the header of their "unit1.pas", play with them, and you should get a fair understanding of GLScene.
Other sources:
Johan Rabie is maintaining the GLScene Documentation project at
, the site also includes tutorials, demos and links sections.
Rene Tschaggelar has written a QuickStart guide here
Charlie Calvert has a "first tutorial" for GLScene in his OpenGL Notes
Where are the components ? Some are in missing from the palette...
All 3D objects, from sphere to camera to light are edited from the TGLScene editor, double-click on a TGLScene component and a hierarchical scene editor will popup, allowing to compose most of your scenes at design-time.
Can't compile, Delphi cannot find *somefile*
Make sure you added all the GLScene source paths to your Delphi library paths (Tools / Environment Options / Library). All the source paths must be added (Source, Base, FileFormats, etc.).
I can't get started, how do I use GLScene ?
First, install the package, new components will be added to your palette.
Drop a TSceneViewer and a TGLScene on your form, then double-click the TGLScene or use the context menu (right mouse button), this will bring up the scene editor.
The very first objects you will probably want to add are a Camera, a Light and an object (f.i. a sphere).
You now have to pick the camera in the sceneviewer's Camera property, the viewer will no render from the camera point of view.
All new objects are positioned at coordinates (0, 0, 0) by default, so you need to arrange them if you want to see something, f.i. move the light by setting its position to (10, 10, 10) and the camera at (5, 0, 0) away by giving.
The camera will most likely not be pointing at the object, so either orient it with its "direction" property, or just pick your object in the camera's TargetObject.
Does GLScene support hardware acceleration ?
GLScene uses OpenGL for rendering, if you have an hardware-accelerated graphics card that supports OpenGL, hardware acceleration will be automatically used.
However, some 3D cards do not accelerate all resolution/pixel depth, and if acceleration is unavailable, OpenGL will fallback to software rendering, you may query the "Acceleration" property of a Viewer's Buffer to check if this viewer is hardware accelerated or not.
Check the "Info" form to know at design-time which OpenGL driver is used: just double-click on a TGLSceneViewer.
I need a primer/documentation on 3D math...
There are various 3D resources I found on the web :
FlipCode has a nice series of article introducing 3D math, and other categories that deal with more complex aspects. Quite a complete site.
Wolfram Research stores a fair set of material, but be warned this is mathematical stuff, not code. If it's math related, you'll find it here.
Gamasutra's Features contains a series of articles (with C code most of the time) on various game programming issues, including 3D math. Do not expect primers here though, but rather "advanced" documentation.
GameDev Developer resources similar to Gamasutra, but seems less thorough and definetely less structured. Worth a look.
Delphi 3D, not exactly primers, but Tom Nuydens maintains a collection of articles on 3D rendering techniques that may help you understand how things work.
If none of these suits you, check the sites in the "Links" section, they maintain their own list of interesting links and you may well find the hidden gem here.
CVS : Setting up access?
(adapted from a post by Robert Hayes)
Here's a quick run-down if anybody wants to use it (and they're not behind a firewall):
First go here:
This is the new directory structure for GLScene... broken down by Delphi version. When you download code, it will be from one of these directories (f.i. Delphi5 and Source).
I tried WinCVS but had more success with TortoiseCVS:
Once Tortoise is installed, pick the *highest* level directory where you want all your GLScene subfolders to go (for me for example it's Delphi/Lib), and right-click on it. Then choose the CVS checkout option. A "checkout" is when you first download all the folders and files from a directory off the server onto your local machine. Tortoise will ask you for some info and the answers are:
Protocol: Internet (Unix pserver)
Server: glscene.cvs.sourceforge.net
Repository directory: /cvsroot/glscene
User name: anonymous
Module: .
you can also simply copy this string into the CVSROOT string whose value is:
Note: When you use TortoiseCVS on GLScene for the first time it will enter the module name "GLScene" at the Module field. Replace this name with a dot "." otherwise the CVS checkout will fail because CVS can not find the GLScene module because there is no module named like that. The module name "." checks out everything in the GLScene repository including the advanced demos. If you only want to update the source you can enter "Source" as a module name and note the capital "S"
When you hit OK it will pull all the files and subfolders in the Source "module" on the server to a new folder called Source on your computer. Then you can do the same thing for any other folders you want (Delphi5, demos etc.), or use '.' to check out everything (be aware this will also include AdvDemos, which can be heavy to download).
Once you've checked out everything you want, you'll notice these folders have a green highlight to them. If you right click them again, you can now update them whenever you want. The only think left to do is change your Delphi environment options to point to the new directories :)
What can I do with a TGLDummyCube?
The DummyCube is a (usually) non-visible objects that exists in the scene hierarchy.
GLScene objects can be arranged as sub-objects of other GLScene objects and can be set to have relative position to their parent. If the parent moves, all children are moved along, this works with all GLScene objects.
A dummy cube can be used when you have no "physical" parent for objects that must be moved together, it can also come in handy when you have complex sorting or rendering needs (depth-sorting for transparency, mirrors, etc.). It can also be used to decompose rotations axis by axis (and allow "reversable" relative rotations f.i.), several of the "movements" demo use DummyCubes to that purpose.
Finally the DummyCube is also commonly used as Camera Target (with the Camera a child of its target dummy cube or vice-versa).
Incompatibility with JVCL/JvMM
The VfW.pas unit is used/referred by both GLScene and the JvMM package, to resolve the incompatibility, either add the GLScene package to the requires of JvMM, or add JvMM to the requires of GLScene. Rebuild the packages.
Misc Issues
Graphics are corrupted, crash or just won't run...
Make sure OpenGL is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers, which can typically be found at your hardware manufacturers website. The drivers auto-installed by WinXP/2k/2k3 don't support hardware acceleration by default, make sure you always update them after installing or reinstalling the OS. You can also use MESA for Software OpenGL support.
I'm getting floating point exceptions with *somefunc* ?
Delphi built-in math functions (like Trunc() or Frac) are not all compatible with a non-standard 8087 Control Word (See Set8087CW in Delphi's help - Nota: Delphi 6/7 do not have this issue, but the implementation is significantly slower).
Replacement functions are provided in the VectoryGeometry.pas unit, these functions are also faster than their VCL equivalents, so make sure you are NOT using "math", but "geometry" instead.
I can't get texture mapping to work
Texture mapping requires 2 things to work:
A properly loaded, enabled, texture map
Texture coordinates
Texture coordinates are provided for all standard GLScene objects, but for TGLMesh, TGLFreeForm and TGLActor, they must be either provided in the 3D file or given by the programmer during the mesh compositing phase.
If the texture map is not loaded or enabled, the color of the object will not change at all. If the coordinates are not right, but the texture is loaded, the object will most likely be given a uniform color.
Textures look washed away, lost colors...
Here is a quick reminder, if not compressed:
RGB, RGBA -> 16 millions colors RGB16 -> 65536 colors RGBA16 -> 4096 colors The '16' modes use less memory but are of low quality. Texture compression must be supported by hardware. The other common limitations are:
3Dfx Voodoo3 boards are limited to RGB16 and RGBA16 (even if you require RGB or RGBA)
some ATI drivers limit textures to RGB16 (you have to uncheck something somewhere in the display properties, this is a trick to get more FPS commonly found in "branded" systems)
texture resolution is also usually limited by desktop resolution
So switch your desktop to highest color setting, and stick to RGB & RGBA if you want high-quality, to save memory, try texture compression or the 16bits mode (texture compression is almost always preferable if available).
Texturing works at design time, not at run-time
Make sure the image management class are included in the compiled executable. For instance, this will happen if you use Jpeg textures, and did not add "Jpeg" to any of your uses clause : TJpegImage is not compiled in the compiled exe.
To solve this, add "Jpeg" or any relevant unit to one of your uses clause.
My transparent *whatever* isn't always/completely transparent
Transparency requires depth-sorting (back to front) for the objects to be rendered correctly when ZBuffering is active. This can be automatically handled by GLScene to some extent with the ObjectSorting property.
See the materials/transparency for explanation and illustration.
Printing a rendered scene / bitmap
You can print a scene by rendering first to bitmap with the TGLSceneViewer.RenderToBitmap method (and specify printer dpi resolution), then draw the bitmap on the printer Canvas.
Make sure you defined the bitmap's size as well as pixel depth (f.i with "PixelFormat:=pf24Bit") before invoking RenderToBitmap, if not, drawing on the printer Canvas will fail.
See the rendering/tobitmap demo of GLScene.
How can I have a cube with N different textures ?
Several options, from fastest to simplest:
Design a textured cube in a 3D modeler, and map your faces as suits you best
Build a cube from planes in a TFreeForm
Use 6 TPlane objects
How can I have more than 8 lights ?
You can't, this is a common hardware limitation, and anyway, having more than 3-4 lights is not recommended performance-wise. Common alternatives are:
Switch-off lights that are far away
Use pre-lit textures
use lightmaps/shadowsmaps (a luminance texture modulated with your primary texture)
Use custom vertex lighting (not recommended, but you may then do anything you want)
Demo GLScene\Demos\scripting\scriptbasics\ does not work correctly
You need the CVS version of DWSII for this demo to work. See section "CVS : Setting up access" in this FAQ for a quick guide on how to use CVS. To access DWS's CVS just use CVSROOT=:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/dws
At design time I get 'has no parent window' or 'Object expected on line1' error when I select or open GLSCene Editor
This may occur on some systems when you have copied a glscene control like the TGLSceneViewer into the clipboard. To get rid of this error all you need to do is to copy a piece of code into your clipboard to make the error go away
Platform Specific
CPP Builder : how to install on BCB5 and BCB6
Following instructions assume that you have TortoiseCVS (version is 1.8.*)
1 - Create a directory named GLScene
2 - Go in this directory
3 - Right click on it, and do CVS Checkout...
4 - You must have in the windows that appear:
5 - Click the OK button. The download will begin and you will get the complete GLScene directory
6 - Until now, you are (implicitly) on the Main (HEAD) branch. You can verify this point with a right click on any file and in the sub-menu of CVS, select "Revision Graph..."
7 - Now, we must take the GLScene_BCB6 branch. To do that, Right clich on the "Source" directory and in the sub-menu of CVS, select "Update Special...".
On the windows that appear, check "Get tag/branch/revision" and select on the list GLScene_BCB6. If this branch is not present click on the button "Update list...". Don't change the other default params. Then click OK.
8 - Repeat this operation for the directories "Demos" and "AdvDemos"
That's it. Your version of GLScene are now compatible with Delphi/BCB/Kylix Now, you can install GLScene (be sure that you have eradicate all older files)
1. Open GLSceneBCB*.bpg project group that are in BCB*
2. First install GLSceneBCB*.bpl
3. Install the others you need
If you need some *.lib, you can found them on the Library directory of BCBDemos.
For cgShader, you can find dll at :
NVidia Cg Toolkit page (whole package, with demos and docs)
CPPBuilder Cg libraries by Alexey Barkovoy.
If you need to re-create lib file, use the instruction "implib.exe *.lib *.dll", where implib.exe are in the bin directory of your BCB. Be careful that you have no different version of *.dll in your PATH constant
Kylix : will GLScene be compatible with Kylix ?
Kylix compatibility is under way, not all of GLScene's features will be available in Kylix, but one step at a time, GLScene is being "abstracted" to allow cross-platform support without messing with ifdefs everywhere - I hate ifdefs ;)
Win2K : DLL initialization Error
Upgrade your display drivers. This has been reported to solve the problem with at least nVidia GeForce MX2 chipset, Win2K itself is not the problem.
Be aware that some vendors have a tendency to lag in driver compatibility, and downloading directly from the hardware manufacturer of the chipset is often preferable.
Delphi 4 : can't compile the demos
Make sure you properly installed and compiled GLScene.
If the error shouts about a missing GLScene5 or VCL50 package, go to project/options/packages, and uncheck "use runtime packages" or translate to Delphi4 (by using GLScene5 and VCL40).
Be aware that GLScene's main development now occurs on Delphi5 and Delphi6, Delphi4 compatibility and testing comes only through user reports...
Delphi 4 : crash under Windows NT
There is a known problem with GLScene under Delphi 4 and Windows NT, DirectX exceptions get triggered from somewhere within Delphi 4 (DirectX is NOT used in GLScene), while the compiled applications work fine under NT.
There is no known solution nor service pack that seems to solve this issue. Help and suggestions welcome.
Delphi 6/7 : is there a version for Delphi 6/7?
Yes, development currently occurs on Delphi 6/7, so CVS versions are Delphi 6/7 compatible.
Delphi 8 : is there a version for Delphi 8?
No, and no support of Delphi 8 for Dot Net is planned.
Delphi 2005 : is there a version for Delphi 2005?
No official one since no one with D2005 has yet volunteered to support it. Early reports indicate that getting GLScene to work in D2005 is straightforward, but there may be design-time stability issues (how much comes from the D2005 IDE itself is still unclear).
Delphi 2006 : is there a version for Delphi 2006?
No official one since no one with D2006 has yet voluntereed to support it. Early reports indicate that getting GLScene to work in D2006 is straightforward, but there may be design-time stability issues (how much comes from the D2006 IDE itself is still unclear). More stable than Delphi 2005
Extra resources, modelers and editors:
Where do I get some free/shareware model/levelediting programs?
The following software may or may not suit your need or your style, but they should get you started:
OpenFX: generic mesh/CAD editor with quality rendering and animation capabilities
Blender: generic mesh/level editor, unix-style interface
GMAX: stripped-down version of 3DSMax, powerful, may have some legal limitations
Milkshape: simple but efficient editor for actors and simple meshes, supports many formats.
QuArK: "Quake Army Knife", quake-formats oriented editing tools, quite capable
Any GLScene based level/mesh editors?
Severale projects are more or less under way:
Cosmos4D (
GlArEd by Mrqzzz
GLEditor by Stefan Bazelkov
LiquidGas (
ThreeDe (
If you are interested in these, the simplest way is to get in touch with the authors directly or via the newsgroups.
Which 3D Mesh formats are supported?
The following formats are currently supported:
3DS (3DStudio, and many others)
MD2, MD3 (Quake2/3, animated)
OBJ (WaveFront, and many others)
SMD (Half-Life, skeletal animation, obtained from a decompiled MDL, f.i. with MilkShape)
NMF (Normal Mapper File, ATI tool)
GTS (GNU Triangulated Surface)
GL2 (Ghoul2, aka MDX)
OCT (FSRad)
And Partial support is available for:
BSP (Quake3 BSP)
PLY (Stanford)
LWO (LightWave)
MS3D (MilkShape)
Where can I find bitmap fonts?
Daniel Guldkrans maintains a huge bitmap fonts archive, almost ready-to use in GLScene:
The TGLWindowsBitmapFont component can generate a bitmap font automatically from any of the registered windows (TrueType) fonts.
3DS : Automatically loading textures
A TFreeForm or TActor can automatically setup the materials and load the textures from a 3DS files. You must first add a material library component (which will store the materials, once the 3DS is loaded), then link the FreeForm to this material library and set UseMeshMaterials to True.
After doing this, when loading the 3DS mesh, the importer will add new materials to the material library (using the names defined in the 3DS file), which you can later alter if you so wish.
Be aware that the image formats must be supported, for instance if your textures are JPeg files, you must add 'JPeg' to your uses.
3DS : From 3DSMax & Character Studio to GLScene
(by Renaud Ghia, adapted from french version)
This entry explains how to use 3DSMax/Character Studio models into GLScene (with skeletal animation).
As GLScene supports the SMD format (Half-Life), you only need to export your scene and characters from 3DSMax to SMD via the Valve plugin, which can be found at the following urls:
Once downloaded and unzipped, copy the files to the "plugins" directory of 3DSMAX.
An HalfLife character is made of multiple files, the first, or "reference", stores the description, geometry and skeleton of a character, while the others are used for animations of this character
After creating and animating your character in 3DSMax and the Character Studio plugin/expansion, go to FILE->EXPORT, select the "smd" format and check "reference" for the first export.
Repeat the procedure and check "skeletal animation" for each of the animations of your character (if you change your character, you'll have to export everything again, if you only change an animation, you may just re-export that single animation).
That's all, you've now exported your 3DSMax characters to SMD.
Notes and comments:
Some Character Studio meshes/skeleton have a particular structure, and may not get exported well
All texture maps must be made available to GLScene, by playing them in the same folder as the SMD, or by specifying the path in the MaterialLibrary (make sure all images formats can be read by Delphi)
The TActor object is uses for SMDs in GLScene, the reference file must be loaded first:
TActor.AddFromFile("Anim2.smd); ...
Also suggested by Thomas Mager is the "modeling" document part of the HalfLife SDK, available here, which introduces modeling actors in SMD format and many related dos/donts.
3DS : Incomplete objects, wrong/lost alignments
The 3DS importer currently does not properly support clones and duplicates defined in 3DSMax or previous versions. "Pivot" points are reportedly not taken into account either.
Since I don't own 3DSMax, any contribution on this subject from someone with good knowledge of 3DSMax & Delphi would be welcome.

Munich RECOMMENDATIONS See all
What to do in Munich in Winter
By Zoe Smith, United Kingdom, November 2012
