Hey Everyone, i'm starting to like photoshop and GFX and mind if i try. Is the Adobe free and safe. I don't want to break my computer.
no its money....

Kk. Don't have money right now
Photoshop costs quite a bit. If you buy it off the Adobe site or in a PC store you shoulw be fine.
You have to buy that, Unless you have some sort of program that lets you download almost anything free, Wich may be hard to find and risky...
Edit: nvm it's photoshop i red the thread too fast xp (failboard). Still, You need to pay them for full access...

It is free and safe if you want to steal it and know how :p
I think GIMP is free tho...but it's not as good
It's pretty pricey, either torrent it or get it discounted.
Adobe is one of the most trustworthy companies.
Vm me and I will send you a good link.
Photoshop is a good and safe program that is easy to get if you have the knowledge.

- Abstract
- We introduce the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS), an on-going large program that is gathering high quality HI-line spectra using the Arecibo radio telescope for an unbiased sample of ~1000 galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10^10 Msun and redshifts 0.025<z<0.05, selected from the SDSS spectroscopic and GALEX imaging surveys. The galaxies are observed until detected or until a low gas mass fraction limit (1.5-5%) is reached. This paper presents the first Data Release, consisting of ~20% of the final GASS sample. We use this data set to explore the main scaling relations of HI gas fraction with galaxy structure and NUV-r colour. A large fraction (~60%) of the galaxies in our sample are detected in HI. We find that the atomic gas fraction decreases strongly with stellar mass, stellar surface mass density and NUV-r colour, but is only weakly correlated with galaxy bulge-to-disk ratio (as measured by the concentration index of the r-band light). We also find that the fraction of galaxies with significant (more than a few percent) HI decreases sharply above a characteristic stellar surface mass density of 10^8.5 Msun kpc^-2. The fraction of gas-rich galaxies decreases much more smoothly with stellar mass. One of the key goals of GASS is to identify and quantify the incidence of galaxies that are transitioning between the blue, star-forming cloud and the red sequence of passively-evolving galaxies. Likely transition candidates can be identified as outliers from the mean scaling relations between gas fraction and other galaxy properties. We have fitted a plane to the two-dimensional relation between the H i mass fraction, stellar surface mass density and NUV-r colour. Interesting outliers from this plane include gas-rich red sequence galaxies that may be in the process of regrowing their discs, as well as blue, but gas-poor spirals.

Vt. House expected to approve ed funding changeApril 25,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House is poised to pass the first significant change in years to the state's education funding system.
The bill the House is expected to give final approval to Thursday is designed to reduce the growth in education funding.
Vermont's statewide education funding system uses a combination of taxes to provide a basic funding amount. Schools that opt to spend more are penalized.
One change being considered would be to reduce the penalty for schools that spend more than 25 percent above the statewide average. Over a period of time, that threshold would be reduced to 21 percent.
Bristol Rep. Dave Sharpe says the bill is a step toward reducing the growth in education spending.
But Stowe Rep. Heidi Scheuermann says she doesn't think the bill goes far enough.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

sigh.. if only Marbury decided to play again, he gets to scrub crawford.
Jamal Crawford
Al Harrington
The Golden State Warriors (5-10) vs The New York Knicks (7-8)
Sat. 11/29 at 7:30pm ET on MSG
Welcome to the MSGKnickz33 Pregame show, Im your host the Gold Mac 10 and its time to break down Saturday Nights game at the Garden. First I'm going to break down the Knicks recent loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks took back to back beatings from two of the top teams in the East, and now have lost 5 of their last 6 games. This time I'm gonna spare everyone from the details.
The Golden State Warriors are coming off a competitive loss to the Boston Celtics. Boston had no answer for Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson, who both easily scored 30 points or more. The problem is, similar to the Knicks the Warriors dont play much defense. The Celtics had four players score 20 points or more, and defeated the Warriors by 8.
The headlines for Saturday Nights game will be "Crawford returns to New York", and "Al Harrington plays former team." It will be interesting to see who does better against the former team.
If you were unable to see the Pistons game heres the highlights
The Golden State Warriors
pg-Jamal Crawford
sg-Stephen Jackson
sf-Corey Maggette
pf-Brandon Wright
C-Andres Biedrens
Backups: Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Morrow, C.J. Watson, Ronny Turiaf, DeMarcus Nelson, Anthony Randolph, Rob Kurz
MSG33 PresEnTs the KeY MatChuP: Jamal Crawford vs Al Harrington
Al Harrington
Harrington has not shot well in his first 2 games as a Knick but if you don't look at shooting percentages, then hes putting up very good numbers.
Unfortunately, hes only shooting 32.5% from the field but that will go up with time. This is still kind of like preseason to him. He played the first 5 games of the season, then he missed some time with "back problems." I do realize that Harrington and Crawford will not be guarding each other. I chose them as the key matchup to see who puts up better stats.
Jamal Crawford
Jamal Crawford has also struggled so far with his new team.
33% fg
He did break Ray Allens ankles the other night
The Official MSG33 Pregame Strategy:
- Play some defense!!! Warriors dont. If we can bring it on offense and play some defense, its a winnable game
- Watch out for Anthony Morrow off the bench
- Have Wilson Chandler defend Stephen Jackson
- Have Richardson defend Corey Maggette
Player Spotlight
Cuttino Mobley
I keep saying that i think Cuttino Mobley will prove people wrong. Hes a better shooter, rebounder, and defender then Crawford. I believe that Mike D'antoni's system will be a great fit for him. Hes a good shooter, and at age 33 he still has some hops. He can get to the rim and throw it down over the defense. Hes gotten off to a slow start with the Clippers, who aren't far at all from the bottom of the Western Conference. It's impossible to be at the bottom. That would mean that you would have to be worse then the D-League Oklahoma Thunder.
There wasn't alot available, but I got some videos of Mobley.
Like I said, hes still got game. In the last video, after hitting a 3 pointer he stripped the ball from his opponent and then hit another 3 pointer from the corner to win the game.

This game should be interesting. The Knicks should win this game.
Jeremon Linbury
Prediction both Crawford and Harrington try to hard to show up their previous teams and they both shoot like 6 for 18 with multiple TOs.
Prediction: First team to 110 wins! I think if we had Nate we would get this win, but this team plays at a very high pace and we cant keep up with just eight players. We lose a close high scoring game to fall to 7-9
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
The Knicks had better win this game... after two start uninspiring performances this game is a MUST WIN.
<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
The match-up that will decide this game will be between Q and Stephen Jackson. Q shoots well and dosen't let S.Jackson loose we win. We can match up with their young/small frontcourt and C.Maggette shouldn't be a problem for W.Chandler and there's no way Crawford schools Duhon (personal opinion) I see us winning this one by at least 10 ...... if all goes well (hahaha)
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
nice thread MSG....i think we could win ths game since were at home Harrigton is playing ok so far for us if it was for the FG% he ould be great but that will go up with time...Crawford isnt gonna have that good of a game today he's still adjusting to a new system and that will hurt him and he'll have his stretch where he'll chuck shots up..i'll be fun to watch him chuck for another team loll....We could very well win this but were giving up depth and height we could will ourseleves to win just like we did vs. the Wizards...D'Antoni will have us ready to battle
ohh any news on Nate?...when he comes back?
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Crawford is not a pure point guard, but, when it comes to outplaying a team (the Knicks) with no dynamic offensive options, only streaky, two minutes on/two minutes off, jumpshooters, Crawford has an advantage. Crawford, himself, is streaky, but he's usually streaky between games, sometimes looking like a mini Jordan, out there, for a game or two, until coming back down to Earth. Because he's played uncharacteristically poorly, over the past couple of games, I expect him to have a big game, tonight.
Chandler is the key, and will continue to be so, until the end of the season. He's the only guy with the physical talents to create problems for other teams. If he can score over 20 or 25, it gives us a chance to win, every night.
Harrington will also have to become a consistent player, go into the post and play like the big man that he is, i.e. his Atlanta days. I think Q needs to try to step in, to around 17 ft and in, and keep his terminally whack play to a minimum, by not jacking up stupid shots. D-Lee will do what he does. Duhon has to pass the ball and hit the open shot, when it's given to him.
If you play things smart, have your wing players: Q and Chandler, cut high post/ low post, with D Lee switching between areas, you might have a team that can get some games and make the playoffs. My concern is with whether D'Antoni can put together this sort of offense and, if so, whether or not the players can execute it properly.

welcome back Jamal. Im sure he will be a little emotional because his return is coming so soon after the deal.
sorry that i kept the spotlight player the same from my last game thread...i didnt have much time last night. Im suprised no one pointed that out...
I Think Crawford is going to put up big numbers today. Score over 30 points.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I would just like to point our to "Team Starbury" watch and see how Crawford is greeted by the Knicks Crowd, Player's and Staff........ and then watch in a few weeks/months when Starbury returns to NY in another uniform (if anyone will sign him) and watch the warm reception he gets (extream sarcazm)...... just some food for thaught?

Two related documents that will determine the future of our area warrant residents' attention. Both contain significant statements on gas drilling. These documents are the 58-page draft comprehensive plan for the Town of Callicoon (November 2012) and the 115-page final Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan (2010).
Under the heading "Environmental Protection," the latter reads, "Ensures that zoning allows for the review and permitting of gas drilling to the full extent feasible under state laws and requirements." Why is the commitment to zoning that allows for the "permitting of [i.e. issuing permits for] gas drilling to the full extent feasible" not repeated in the draft comprehensive plan or even referenced there?
The comprehensive plan states, "Please note that the Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan is an integral part of this comprehensive plan update." The Town is proposing separately a Resolution of Negative Declaration stating that the comprehensive plan "will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts, and that an environmental impact statement will not be required."
Time is shrinking for residents to express their concern in one or more ways:
1. Make a statement at the public hearing on this topic—in accordance with law, only one is scheduled—on Wednesday, February 6, 7 p.m. at the town hall in Jeffersonville, NY.
2. Send an email message by February 6, 3 p.m. (preferably sooner) to Town of Callicoon Supervisor Thomas R. Bose (firstname.lastname@example.com [1]) with cc: to town clerk Janet Brahm (email@example.com [2]).
3. Send a letter for receipt before February 6 to Town of Callicoon Board, c/o Janet Brahm, Town of Callicoon, PO Box 687, Jeffersonville, NY 12748, or hand-deliver to 19 Legion Street, Jeffersonville.
Links to the documents cited above are posted at townofcallicoon.org under "Additional Information" as "Comprehensive Plan Draft – November 2012" and "Farmland Preservation" or on the home page.

text: I have a couple of questions. First, I had read that you can keep milk in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days. However, it seems that more often than not my milk turns sour within a few days. I usually smell it and then taste it if it smells suspicious. Do you think it's really gone bad or does it just start to taste funny after a while? Also, I am going to be away from my baby for three feedings on Saturday. I plan to bring a manual pump with me. Is it safe to pump only twice during that time? I am going to be seeing a broadway show and it's going to be a little challenging to find time and places to pump. Also, I usually just use my manual pump to initiate a let-down and use a Medela PIS. Will the the manual pump be able to extract enough milk in order for my body to get the message to keep my supply up? I am worried about becoming too full and jeopardizing my supply. My daughter is 7.5 months old and eats about 6 times a day. Thanks!

All I can say is: WOW!!
this was a huge momentum win for the knicks. Especially with amare being back to his form.
Amare had 12 rebounds in the game, this is what we need against mimai, this is what we lacked in that game!
Davis was an assist machine in the 2nd half, loved his dimes! and i am sure amare did too
fields should always have this confidence in his 3's, he is capable of pulling those 3's when needed
Melo was awesome, a great double double for the hottest NBA player nowadays (apparently talking about his performance hotness here)
All I can say is: WOW!!
"Winner of the coveted "Chink in the Armor" award!"
Posting in here because it's a rady game thread.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I thought that Fields appeared to give more arc to his jump shots today. I believe they were much flatter -- and far less effective -- in the past. Was it my imagination?
I was wondering why Fields didn't play at the end of the game.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Well Orlando lost again. Still hope. Boy, had we beat the Cavs we'd only be a game behind them
Knicks are sick wit it. Tyson being given rest is awesome, especially when we still pull out the W like this. great game. if we have tyson in there we win this by 8 points easy. Knicks are ROLLIN right now
Amare had all types of driving lanes playing at the C position but his game needs to come together at the PF spot if we're to have an effective starting lineup. TC never strays too far away from the basket because he is always hustling for boards, so Amare is going to have to learn to read defenses better and pass the ball when they collapse on him. His scoring yesterday was impressive and was made easier for him since the paint was open for him with Melo playing the perimeter at the 4.
Sorry, but i'm just not sold on this newfound yet until I see it with TC in the lineup.

November 29, 2012
Los Angeles, CA (November 29, 2012) - The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) has officially moved to Los Angeles and Toyota Motor Sales and Toyota Financial Services held a private reception to welcome the organization to Southern California. HSF, the largest national Hispanic nonprofit provider of college scholarships to Latinos awarding over $30 million annually across the country, moved its national headquarters to Southern California with support from Toyota USA, one of the organization's longest term corporate partners.
Anthony Salcido, VP, North American Financial Integration, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. and other Toyota executives welcomed Frank D. Alvarez, President/CEO, Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the HSF to a Welcome Reception sponsored by Toyota Motor Sales and Toyota Financial Services and hosted by TODOS (Toyota Organization for Development of Latinos), the Toyota Hispanic Employee Association.
"On behalf of Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc., I'd like to be among the first to welcome HSF to Los Angeles," said Mr. Salcido. "Toyota believes in and supports the mission of HSF to make higher education available and accessible to every Hispanic household in Los Angeles and around the country."
"HSF considered several important Hispanic cities before deciding to make this strategic move to the nation's largest Latino market," said Alvarez. "In Los Angeles, HSF will have more immediate access to a large professional workforce, to media and corporate support which will greatly benefit our mission to place a college degree in every Latino household across the country. We want to thank Toyota Motor Sales USA for their ongoing support of HSF and particularly for facilitating this move."
Also in attendance was four-time HSF scholarship awardee, Argelia Atilano, Los Angeles Univision Radio personality, who graduated from Loyola Marymount University. Argelia, a contestant on Univision's Celebrity dance series Mira Quien Baila, won $15,000 for her favorite charity, HSF, and announced her plan to "pay forward" the support given her during her college days by matching the winnings dollar for dollar, meaning she is awarding HSF $30,000 for deserving Hispanic students. "I was the first in my family to go to college with help from an HSF scholarship and set an example for my younger siblings who have also gone on to college," says Argelia. "I want to give back to HSF for helping me establish a tradition of learning and higher education in our family." Watch Argelia: http://bit.ly/PGtTlX.
The move to Los Angeles ensures that HSF will rank in the Top Tier of all US nonprofit organizations with 93 percent of its resources going directly to scholarships and programs. HSF is located at: 1411 190th St., Los Angeles, California 90248.
About the Hispanic Scholarship Fund
Founded in 1975, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund believes that the country prospers when all Americans have access to the opportunities a college education can afford. As the nation's leading Hispanic higher education fund, HSF works to address the barriers that keep many Latinos from earning a college degree. To date, HSF has awarded over $360 million in scholarships and has supported a broad range of outreach and education programs to help students and their families navigate collegiate life, from gaining admission and securing financial aid to finding employment after graduation. HSF envisions a future where every Latino household will have at least one college graduate, creating an enduring impact on the college outlook of Latino families nationwide, and strengthening the American economy for generations to come.

Author's Note: Special thanks to Jay Freeman (Saurik) who has done remarkable work in updating the open source tool chain to support iPhone v2.0
With the release of Apple's SDK for building iPhone applications, many have plunged head-first into this new platform for the first time, with the new-found excitement that comes in discovering something entirely new and innovative. The energy surrounding the iPhone has been building steadily since its release last June, and Apple's initial "beta" offering of their SDK gave developers many of the tools they needed to get engaged. Within a short time, however, the community hit a brick wall in many respects, leaving many disenchanted by the restrictions imposed on developers. While Apple insists that the SDK provides the same tools used to create their own software, developers have found that they don't have access to the same low-level functions of the iPhone, such as the ability to run applications in the background, build certain types of objects, or use low-level frameworks such as CoreSurface, Celestial, or LayerKit — all of which provide direct access to graphics and sound components. These, along with many other features, are found in Apple's own applications, but nowhere to be found in the SDK.
A little bit of history is required to fully appreciate this debacle. Since June 2007, the open source community had been hacking on the iPhone and developed a huge audience (estimated to be around 40% of the market). Shortly thereafter, a group of hackers managed to free the iPhone's operating system to run open source software and had succeeded in building their own community SDK (software development kit) for compiling third-party iPhone applications. Since then, the development community surrounding the iPhone has grown considerably, and hundreds of great applications have been made freely available for the device via a popular community software installer. The "Installer" application serves as a kind of "online library," allowing anyone using it to download and install programs directly from the iPhone (over the air), without iTunes or even a desktop machine.
By fall 2007, the rest of the iPhone community had tuned in. Nicholas Penree, author of the popular jailbreakme.com website, had reported that over one million iPhone users had used the site to enable their device for third-party applications. Since then, it has been estimated that over two million iPhone users are now running the third party "Installer" application, giving them full access to the entire public software library for the iPhone. Open source development has become so popular, in fact, that O'Reilly has recently commissioned me to write, and published a book titled "iPhone Open Application Development," which documents many of these APIs and teaches developers how to write applications for the iPhone.
Jump ahead to March 2008. Apple finally realized what a huge financial opportunity they were missing out on when they snubbed third party developers, and decided to release their own version of what the community already had been using for nearly a year, a software development kit (the Apple SDK) and application distribution chain (the iTunes AppStore). Ironically, due to this delay, Apple was surprisingly the one lagging behind the open community, and rather than the open source community duplicating commercial efforts, Apple embarrassingly became the one trying to duplicate the open source community today.
With the introduction of the Apple SDK, developers gauged its functionality based on a comparison to the unofficial, open source SDK released last August. In the process of building this custom, open source compiler for the iPhone, the development community exposed the many low-level APIs (application programming interfaces) available on the device. Using tools such as class-dump, nm, and just plain old trial-and-error gave developers access to the full breadth of functionality available deep within the iPhone's frameworks. It was used to write applications that could look and act just like Apple's preloaded software, so when Apple announced that their SDK was "the same set of tools," many expected that it would look and feel like the open tool chain. Very few had anticipated the many restrictions they've come to find in the official SDK. While roughly 75% of the two SDKs do overlap, the remaining 25% has shown to be very restrictive, removing the developer's ability to do "the real fun stuff" with their application.
iPhone Open Application Development
By Jonathan Zdziarski
In this clear and concise book, Jonathan Zdziarski -- one of the original hackers of the iPhone -- explains how developers can design third-party software that will run on this device. You'll learn about iPhone's proprietary development environment, the Objective-C language it uses, and background on the operating system. You also get detailed recipes and working examples for several iPhone features.
Back to the present, the APIs available in the Apple SDK are useful for building your average game, or your average application, but very lacking for building applications with more sophisticated, low-level requirements. Fortunately, there is another set of interfaces that Apple never wanted you to know about, the "real" set of APIs that Apple uses. These are the same interfaces that have been made available through the unofficial SDK "tool chain," only we didn't know it at the time. The great news is that you can use the Apple SDK (via Xcode) to build applications using these hidden APIs, and this article will show you how.
It's important to note that it is unclear whether using these hidden APIs will disqualify your project from being listed in Apple's AppStore. When it comes down to it, the issue is not a technical matter, but rather a licensing and policy issue. Using these APIs can help extend your application's functionality, but be warned that this may also mean you'll need to distribute your application using the community "Installer," or on your own. The good news is that this is what many developers have resolved to do for the sake of writing better software, and with a market penetration of over 40%, the community installer is able to reach a very large audience. It is also believed that the iTunes AppStore will not be available to iPhone users who have unlocked their phones and are running on unauthorized networks, further expanding the potential of the community software installer.
Now for the fun part, for those who are, or will soon be running the Aspen (iPhone OS) software on their iPhone, and would like to build applications using these hidden APIs, there are now two different methods you can use: the open source tool chain or Apple's official SDK (with some customizations). Using either, it is possible to not only write applications that take full advantage of the low-level frameworks used by Apple's own software, but also to build existing applications written for the open source tool chain.
Apple's low-level APIs, made available in the open tool chain, contain some objects and methods that have been intentionally left out of the Apple SDK, to help control what developers can and can't do. If you think about the ramifications of what it would mean to be able to write your own movie player, for example, it would be very unwise for Apple to foster applications that competed with their own.
Introducing our first example of a missing framework, the CoreSurface framework. CoreSurface allows for direct writes to a screen surface, making applications such as custom movie players and software emulators possible. The framework itself is included with the iPhone and the Apple SDK, as it is used by higher-level libraries such as OpenGL, but developers cannot take advantage of it because the framework headers are missing.
Another example is in a missing set of objects named UIPreferencesTable, used for building settings screens inside an application. Apple's document insists that you create a preference bundle for your application, so that users have to exit your program and use the "Settings" application. This all caters to look-and-feel, but some find it unreasonable, and equate removing this object as removing the ability for a desktop program to have a "Preferences" menu option.
To take advantage of these hidden APIs within the Apple SDK, you'll need to install the header files for these objects and then modify your Xcode projects to use them. An unauthorized set of private headers is being maintained by a group of software developers named "the iPhone Dev Team." Unofficial, these headers are used by the open source SDK. To download and install these low-level APIs, do the following from a Terminal window on your desktop:
$ svn co http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/branches/include-1.2-sdk
$ cd include-1.2-sdk
$ ./configure --prefix=/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/Versions/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk
$ sudo sh install-headers.sh
$ sudo ln -s /Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/Versions/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk \
This will install the APIs into a new directory named /Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/Versions/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk. Now you'll need to instruct your Xcode project to use them instead of the "official" APIs. To do this, follow the steps below:
If you're using a Makefile instead of Xcode, you can create a very clean build by adding the following to your CFLAGS:
DEV = /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer
SDK = $(DEV)/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk
CC = $(DEV)/usr/bin/gcc-4.0
CFLAGS = -arch arm \
-I"/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/Versions/Current/include" \
-I"$(SDK)/usr/include" \
-I"$(DEV)/usr/lib/gcc/arm-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/include" \
-F"/System/library/Frameworks" \
If you build your application, you'll now be using the low-level set of APIs in addition to the standard set. Because the low-level APIs include many private frameworks, such as CoreSurface, you can now import these frameworks into your application.
To use such a framework in Xcode, you'll first need to switch your build to "Device - iPhone OS 2.0". The reason for this is that the simulator does not include many of the frameworks included on the iPhone. In fact, the simulator is unable to even run some "official" SDK applications, such as those using OpenGL. You'll only be able to build and test these low-level frameworks on the iPhone itself.
If you're using a Makefile, you'll want to add these linker settings:
LDFLAGS = -arch arm -lobjc \
-framework CoreFoundation \
-framework Foundation \
-framework UIKit \
-framework CoreSurface \
-L"$(SDK)/usr/lib" \
-F"$(SDK)/System/library/Frameworks" \
Now that the framework is linked in, add the appropriate includes to your project, for example:
#import <CoreSurface/CoreSurface.h>
Now you're ready to go! Many examples of how to use the many private APIs and frameworks can be found at http://www.iphonedevdocs.com/, as well as in my O'Reilly book. You will write more functional code and sleep better at night knowing that your application isn't restricted by a device manufacturer's policies form-factor requirements!
Perhaps you're opposed to the idea of building applications linked in with embedded DRM (digital rights management), or perhaps you just like using open source software. The open source tool chain has been around since August 2007 and has matured considerably in its time. It also happens to run on Linux, Windows, and older versions of Mac OS X, making it a much cheaper alternative for developers who don't want to switch their entire department to Leopard-based Macs.
Many binary distributions of the open source tool chain are floating around. We'll walk you through a simple Leopard installation here that will work on the iPhone OS development platform.
While there are some unofficial binary distributions of the tool chain floating around the Internet, you'll be building it from sources in this section. The following are requirements for building from source.
Supported Desktop Platform
The first thing you'll need is a desktop platform that is supported. Platforms currently supported by the tool chain are:
Nicholas Penree of Conceited Software took time to adapt the tool chain's installation to run on Leopard, which is what we'll use in our example, with my own notes for adding iPhone OS support. Other platforms follow the same basic steps as these. Official tool chain instructions can be found at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dev/wiki/Building.
High Speed Internet Connection
The tool chain is several hundred megabytes in size-and that's just the sources. Unless you want to be sitting around for a few days, you'll likely want to download the sources over a high-speed connection. If you don't have one, it might be a good idea to perform the installation from a library or local coffee shop.
Open Source Tools
The next things you'll need are the necessary open source tools installed on your desktop:
If you're missing any of these tools, download and install them before proceeding. On the Mac, these are included with Xcode tools, and you'll want to install or upgrade to the latest version of Xcode before proceeding. Most other operating systems provide them as optional components in their distribution.
Xcode tools can be downloaded from Apple's web site at http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/.
Apple SDK
Finally, the last thing you'll need is a copy of the Apple SDK, if you want to use the iPhone OS libraries and frameworks. Your applications will link to these when built.
If you've installed the Apple SDK, just symlink the framework libraries to a place the tool chain will see them:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share
sudo ln -s/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk \
If you're unable to install these on your machine, you can download these directly from an iPhone running a jailbroken 1.2/2.0 file system; specifically, the libraries and frameworks.
Copying the libraries from your iPhone to your desktop is not condoned by Apple. Check with your local, state, and federal laws to ensure this is legal where you reside.
Presuming you have installed SSH onto the iPhone, use the following commands to download the files you need into a folder called /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem.
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem
# cd /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem
# mkdir -p ./System/library ./usr
# scp -r root@[IPHONE IP ADDRESS]:/System/library/Frameworks/ .
# mv Frameworks ./System/library
# scp -r root@iphone:/usr/lib .
# mv lib ./usr
The source code for the tool chain is split into two repositories: one for the LLVM compiler framework and one for the rest of the tool chain. Create a build directory for yourself and cd into it. Now use Subversion to check both projects out from their repositories.
$ svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm-svn -r 42498
$ svn co http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ iphone-dev
You'll also need to switch out a couple of SVN repositories to grab the new iPhone OS versions of various pieces. This will eventually be merged into the root of the source tree when iPhone OS is officially released.
$ pushd include
$ svn switch http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/branches/include-1.2-sdk
$ popd
$ pushd odcctools
$ svn switch http://iphone-dev.googlecode.com/svn/branches/odcctools-9.2-ld
$ popd
The download may take an hour or longer, depending on the speed of your connection. Once both repositories have been checked out, it's time to start building.
One convention that may be unfamiliar to you is the use of the built-in shell commands
pushd and
popd. These are similar to the
cd command, but they push and pop directories on a stack. This makes it easy to do some work in a new directory and then return to a previous one without having to remember where you were.
You'll also see references to the
sudo command. This is a Unix tool providing limited access to run privileged (root) commands. When you want to run a command that requires privileged access (because it accesses sensitive data on the operating system or could have dangerous effects hurting the operating system), type
sudo on the command line followed by the command you wish to run. Mac OS X will then prompt you for the root password to your desktop before allowing the command to run. If you don't have
sudo, you can safely leave it off of your commands, but will need to first invoke
su to become root.
Step 1: Build and install the LLVM framework
The LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) framework provides a standard infrastructure for building compilers. It provides the necessary hooks and APIs to build a standardized compiler without having to rewrite all of the basic components of a compiler. Issue the following statements to compile and install a release build of the llvm compiler.
$ pushd llvm-svn
$ ./configure --enable-optimized
$ make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1
$ sudo make install
$ LLVMOBJDIR=`pwd`
$ popd
Step 2: Build and install cross-compiler tools
The following commands build and install the cross-compiler components of the tool chain. These are specific to Mac OS X, so be sure to read the official documentation if you're using a different platform.
$ pushd iphone-dev
$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin
$ mkdir -p build/odcctools
$ pushd build/odcctools
$ ../../odcctools/configure --target=arm-apple-darwin --disable-ld64
$ export INCPRIVEXT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ popd
$ HEAVENLY=/usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem
Step 3: Install the low-level API headers
Because the iPhone's architecture is different from the desktop's, special headers need to be installed to access the low-level APIs of the iPhone. Issue the following commands to install them:
$ pushd include
$ ./configure
$ sudo bash install-headers.sh
$ popd
Step 4: Install the Csu
The Csu provides C hooks into assembly's "start" entry point, and sets up the stack so that your program's
main() function can be called. It's essentially glue code.
$ mkdir -p build/csu
$ pushd build/csu
$ ../../csu/configure --host=arm-apple-darwin
$ sudo make install
$ popd
Step 5: Build and install llvm-gcc
Now that the LLVM framework, cross-compiler tools, and Csu have been built, the compiler itself can now be built and installed. If you're doing this in stages or have since closed your Terminal window, make sure that you've still got the environment variables
$LLVMOBJDIR and
$HEAVENLY set to the proper directories. The
LLVMOBJDIR variable points to the location of LLVM object files, which were compiled when you built LLVM. These are used to build llvm-gcc. The
HEAVENLY variable points to the location where you copied the iPhone's libraries onto your desktop. This directory is used by llvm-gcc to nk to the iPhone's framework and library files when you compile applications. The name "Heavenly" was the code name given by Apple to the 1.0 code base of the iPhone software. The latest version (1.2) is named "Aspen," but the original name is still used in the tool chain. Both are named for ski slopes.
$ set
| grep -e LLVMOBJDIR -e HEAVENLY
If you don't see output from the previous command, you need to set the environment variables again. Get back into your build directory and run:
$ pushd
llvm-svn && LLVMOBJDIR=`pwd` && popd
$ HEAVENLY=/usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem
Once you've ensured that these are set, issue the following commands to build and install the compiler.
$ mv llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old
$ sed \
's/^FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=$/FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=${FLAGS_FOR_TARGET-}/g' \
llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure.old > llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/crt1.o \
$ mkdir -p build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone
$ pushd build/llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone
$ export FLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-mmacosx-version-min=10.1"
$ sh ../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure \
--enable-llvm=`llvm-config --obj-root` \
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ \
--target=arm-apple-darwin --enable-sjlj-exceptions \
--with-heavenly=$HEAVENLY \
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-as \
$ make LLVM_VERSION_INFO=2.0-svn-iphone-dev-0.3-svn
$ sudo make install
$ popd
$ popd
Congratulations! You've built the free tool chain for iPhone. You're now ready to start compiling iPhone applications. The compiler itself can be invoked directly by calling /usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin-gcc.
When you build your applications for iPhone OS, you'll need to be sure to use the following additional CFLAGS:
CFLAGS = -fobjc-abi-version=2 \
And LDFLAGS:
Jonathan Zdziarski is better known as the hacker "NerveGas" in the iPhone development community. His work in cracking the iPhone helped lead the effort to port the first open source applications, and his book, iPhone Open Application Development, taught developers how to write applications for the popular device long before Apple introduced its own SDK.

These competitive scholarships are awarded annually to select incoming freshmen on the basis of academic achievement, leadership potential, involvement in extracurricular activities, community service and character. To be considered for one of these scholarships, a potential student must score at least 1000 on the SAT or attain an equivalent score of 21/22 or higher on the ACT. The candidate must indicate on the application form a desire to be considered for admission into the Honors College and for one of these scholarships. An interview may be requested by the Selection Committee.
A federally-funded scholarship program, the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship was initiated in South Carolina in 1987. Federal regulations mandate that $1,500 non-renewable scholarships (now $1,121 and renewable) be awarded nationwide to qualified high school seniors from a representative population of each state. The federal mandate for selection includes stipulations that students must: (1) demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and (2) show promise of continued academic achievement.
The total number of scholarships for South Carolina students is determined by the federal government. For the purpose of these regulations, the six congressional districts in South Carolina shall be used as a basis for ensuring proportional distribution.
A number of privately funded scholarships are available through the University and other outside resources. Interested students may contact the Leadership Development Office in Tingley Hall or the Scholarship Coordinator in the Office of Student Financial Aid located in Corson Hall for details.

TIME Magazine, Dr. Oz, What to Eat, and Supplements
Here on SBM we have frequently had cause to criticize the media for poor science reporting and for spreading misinformation. Among many other individual offenders, we have criticized Dr. Oz for promoting alternative medicine on his TV show and gullibly promoting guests who pretend to talk to the dead and pretend to heal people with carnival sideshow tricks. We tend to be negative and critical because somebody has to do it, but it's not pleasant. For once, I have some good things to say.
The September 12 issue of TIME magazine was a Special Nutrition Issue. The cover featured pictures of food and the title "What to Eat Now: Uncovering the Myths about Food by Dr. Oz." It devotes 7 pages to an article by him entitled "The Oz Diet: No more myths. No more fads. What you should eat — and why." This is followed by a 5 page article by John Cloud "Nutrition in a Pill? I took 3000 supplements over five months. Here's what happened." Both articles have a rational, science-based perspective without any intrusions of woo-woo. (more…)

Take a walk on the wild side
I stopped and chatted with Marion Kasselle (www.facebook.com/Maynard-Farms), who recommended the three-cheese ramp turnovers from a booth down the way (www.brandenbergpastry.com). Turning the corner, I bumped into a grinning Kazzrie Jaxen (www.kazzriejaxenquartet.com) having just eaten some ramp ravioli. "We only have a short time to 'amp up the ramp,'" she laughed, "and I've heard it's really good in eggs, so I'm off to whip up an omelet." Speaking for myself, I'm pretty useless in the kitchen (OK, hold the jokes) and so it seemed wise to ask a professional's opinion on the mighty ramp. I headed for the judging arena where I found chef and celebrity judge Peter Yurasits. Specializing in weddings and corporate functions, he revealed that he (www.finefoodaffairs.com) has added ramps in chocolate truffles, and on this particular Sunday "in honor of Cinco de Mayo," he had macerated (Hmm, I learned a new word) ramps in tequila. "Finally, (IMHO) a practical application for this darn plant," I thought, happily accepting the sample that Yurasits proffered before he and co-judge Jane Bollinger sampled dishes prepared with the local delicacy. Slow Food's Sally Ann Parsons won the day with her ramp corn bread, made entirely with local ingredients—well, except for the brown sugar. From what I gathered, everything was delish. I still need to investigate the Ramp Tramp (a forager's expedition that happened the day before), and McGlashan whispered something about next year's Ramp Vamp, so my appetite has been properly whetted and I'm guessing that there's more to learn. For now, the window of opportunity has closed. Long live the ramp.

The posters that do believe Amare has declined because of Melo check Amare's game log. Carmelo's knicks debut was Feb 23 vs the Bucks
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Amare's averages month by month
November - 24.6
December - 29.8
January - 25.7
February - 24.3
March - 24.3
April - 20.8
Stat actually missed a game shortly before we got Melo, I think maybe part of him "getting tired" had to do with the fact he was playing through pain. So perhaps injuries slowed Amare down, not Carmelo.
Stat managed to still get a very efficient 28pts and 11rbs in game 1 against Boston in the playoffs, before injuring his back. But thats impressive considering the Celtics defense.
Last year Stat never averaged more then 18ppg in any month. It probably is injuries slowing Stat down more then anything else, something the knicks shoulda taken a better look at before throwin 100 milli at him for 5 years.
This whole "Carmelo slowed down Amare's game" argument is not really anything more then a myth started by the media. Hes not the ball hog that people make him out to be. He gets way too much unfair hate.

Quick & dirty update: pretty soon a complete Sudden Strike 3 section by Titan_Gabriel. Stay tuned.
So, I think it is time for some kind of announcement… I guess. What are you looking at?
This website is an unofficial and fan-made international/english-speaking project which will be soon launched by the following partnership:
French Sudden Strike community: Alliance Francophone
German Sudden Strike community: Sudden-Strike-Maps
Russian Sudden Strike community: Modplanet
So, what are our plans for this website you may ask?
On www.suddenstrike.com (here), you'll be able to discover the different versions of Sudden Strike that still exist nowadays and which are played online. A short presentation for each mod will be available, and hopefully more content will be uploaded in the future (tactics, patchs, etc). We hope to create here a "central place" for the sudden strike fandom.
You'll also be able to chat with other players and thus, find games. Here is a prototype of the future chatrooms (one will be available for each game):
You may also already check our international Sudden Strike teamspeak 3 server.
As you can see, nothing else is finished yet (still, you can already chat in this "experimental room"), but the work is currently in progress and talks between heads of the different communities are currently taking place.
Finally, we would like to thank Minneapolisseogeeks.com for its kind support as a sponsor. Visit this website in order to support ours! It's (almost) an order. 😉
Thank you for your kind attention.
Suddenstrike.com webmaster.

Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Laurier-hosted ACUNS welcomes award-winning journalist Cleo Paskal for public lecture on Kaplans Coming Anarchy
Jan 24/14| For Immediate Release
Alistair Edgar, Executive Director
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO In 1994, journalist Robert Kaplan argued that the worlds social fabric was being destroyed. In his influential article, The Coming Anarchy, published in The Atlantic, Kaplan predicted that the experiences of failed states facing turmoil and chaos served as a warning of what could become an increasingly common phenomenon across the globe.
Now 20 years later, the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS)which is hosted by Wilfrid Laurier Universityis examining the extent to which Kaplans grave predictions have (or have not) come true.
As part of a workshop program on the legacy of Kaplans analysis, ACUNS, in association with the Balsillie School of International Affairs and the Laurier Centre for Military, Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS), will present a public lecture by award-winning journalist Cleo Paskal on Feb. 7 entitled, How Geopolitical, Geoeconomic and Geophysical Changes are Redrawing the World Map.
"My work is ludicrously broad; I try to understand the world's major, shifting winds of geopolitical and geoeconomic change, said Paskal, an associate fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, U.K. and adjunct faculty in the Department of Geopolitics at Manipal University in India. I look for clues at the edges, where the strongest winds still ripple. And so politics in the Kingdom of Tonga whisper secrets about Chinese foreign policy and U.S. 'rebalancing. And Iceland tells us about the collapsing EU financial system and Russian Arctic strategy. It's like trying to put together a constantly morphing jigsaw puzzle, from the outside in."
Paskals lecture will discuss how geopolitical, geoeconomic and geophysical changes can combine to have a dramatic effect on states foreign policy and international relations. For instance, Chinas growing geopolitical and geoeconomic strength, combined with geophysical changes in the far North, have resulted in the new dynamic of China as an emerging Arctic power. Paskal also will discuss similar situations involving the three geos in the Indo-Pacific, the United States and Europe.
Cleo Paskal brings us a challenging view of large-scale changes in the world at different levels and across widely differing planes, which she argues intersect to have potentially critical implications in very specific policy contexts, said Alistair Edgar, executive director of ACUNS. Anyone who wants to hear about the big picture in global affairs and how that translates into immediate challenges, will find her ideas and arguments fascinating.
The lecture is free of charge and will take place at the Balsillie School of International Affairs (67 Erb St. West) on Friday, Feb. 7. There will be a reception at 6:30 p.m., with welcoming remarks at 7 p.m. To RSVP, email firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, visit acuns.org/kaplan.

Pre-DepartureTuesday, May 29th, 2012
Tomorrow, a dozen Haverfordians will land in Managua, Nicaragua. While 7 of us (including Professor Kaye Edwards and me) will return to the US for the rest of the summer, 5 current students will remain in the country for another 2 months as CPGC interns in Managua, Matagalpa, San Marcos, and Esteli. Their projects range from youth organizing and women's health care to organic agriculture. This is our blog.
The preparations for this delegation have been thoughtful and thought-provoking. They have been practicing Spanish, have begun taking their anti-malarial medication, and filled out endless forms with emergency contact information. In addition to our pre-departure orientations, these interns have watched films and documentaries, read articles and books that help them place themselves on a continuum of American-Nicaraguan interactions. They have learned approaches to solidarity from activists Pam Fitzgerald and Paul Dix, who visited campus in April to talk about their new book: nicaraguaphototestimony.org/. They are approaching these next 10 days in Nicaragua as an act of solidarity.
Our 10-day itinerary from ProNica's Managua office looks wonderful, and I am looking forward to meeting our Nicaraguan program partners so soon.
