The files are added to the playlist in the order they are received from the file manager.
You can click on the "Name" header in the playlist to sort them by name.
i have a bunch of files in a directory, containing strings and numbers e.g.
I select all Files from top to bottom, drag them into the playlist window.
File001 is at the top of the list,File009 is 2nd and then contigious to File022.
File022 is followed by File002 contigious to File008.
This one annoys me since the beginning of time.
Why is it impossible to get them in order automatically?
No glory in fixing this one, not quite a feature either, sorry
The files are added to the playlist in the order they are received from the file manager.
You can click on the "Name" header in the playlist to sort them by name.
ok to close this ticket.
you mean to tell me that, yet again, i have to be mad at a software company
originating from seattle?
i seriously wanted to be mad at someone else, just for a change...
the name-click workaround works fine.
i have seen other software that does the sorting, right away. Guess that means
they have written sorting code themselves...I would see some useful potential for the
community to have OpenSource Code to do this for amany a software.
But i see this is probably too much trouble.
Thanks for your time and sorry for wasting it.
The problem is fixed, now (svn r6217) smplayer sorts the files.
Sorting is still broken. Now it sorts by A-Z and then a-z. For instance, 'Zebra' gets listed before 'apple'. Please add a preference option to disable this broken sorting.
I think the problem is fixed in version svn r8035.

Synopsis of Approaches to Welfare and of Green Growth Concepts Currently under Discussion
This paper is part of the research project "Cornerstones of an ecologically sustainable welfare concept as a basis for eco-political innovation and transformation processes" funded by the German Ministry of Environment. The main aim is to identify differentiated and exemplary starting points for an eco-politically viable and measurable concept of sustainable welfare. The synopsis presented here concentrates on the systematic evaluation of current discussions on alternative approaches to welfare, ecologically oriented welfare doctrines and strategies on the basis of a consistent matrix of questions. Key points of a sustainable welfare model in ten theses are formulated. Such a model should illustrate the environmental policy by showing its effect on people's welfare and the use of the natural world and should assist national environmental policy in its decision-making.

Given the reaction to Vista, I'm not sure that Seinfeld was the best choice in any case -- imagine what the commercials would be like with the "Soup Nazi"...

I guess Quadrille got it right! :)
Why the heck don't they use that money to actually fix the problems?
A lot of the Vista problems have come about from a general ill will toward the OS that is not altogether deserved. Those are some of the problems they're addressing with this outlay.
Some people might get the idea that Bill Gates knows his company has created a piece of [insert your favorite derogatory noun here] and is looking to jump into a new career in comedy.
The two ads so far don't make a lot of sense yet. This might just be a case of setting the stage for something much more meaningful and relevant.
Then again it could be yet another example of MSFT not knowing how to make meaningful or relevant ads.
The two ads so far don't make a lot of sense yet. This might just be a case of setting the stage for something much more meaningful and relevant.
Now I think about it, this seems somewhat like the Seinfeld/Superman commercials for (...um, was it AMEX?) I seem to remember that the ones I saw were mildly humorous, but I wasn't hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one.
We know computers. The people who Microsoft are trying to attract with these commercials are people who don't know computers. Our opinion on these commercials is then basically worthless as Microsoft may consider us a lost cause to begin with. Best thing to do is ask an average person what they think of the commercials...
But that was a one-off commercial whereas there will be MSFT ads a plenty.
And let's not forget, you can't put a price on the value of discussions like this one and others that are taking place on almost every website like WebmasterWorld where social interaction, whether personal or business, is a key component.
Everyone who gives a darn knows these ads are for Vista even if the ads hardly give us a clue what they're about. Sadly, everyone who gives a darn has probably already made up their mind about Vista.
Hmm, did I just contradict my previous post? Typical. :)

Philosopher Stephen Webster investigates the links between scientists' personal beliefs and their scientific work.
He wants to know how an individual scientist's personal, psychological and intellectual qualities map onto their chosen area of science.
How much of a scientist's personality is reflected in their work? Should subjective private beliefs be a part of objective scientific outcomes? What happens if tensions develop between a scientist's beliefs and the formal demands of science? If tensions arise, how can they be resolved?Stephen meets medical consultant Philip Kilner.
Philip first trained as a doctor and then left medicine and retrained as a sculptor, concentrating on water sculptures and fluid dynamics.
He then returned to medicine.
Philip is now a Consultant and Reader in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
One of his water sculptures, Single Cavity Flowform, is on display at the hospital.
Philip talks to Stephen about the combination of artistic and scientific insights help him interpret images of the heart.

Stephen meets Clare Lloyd, Professor of Respiratory Immunology, who runs a busy medical research lab at Imperial College, London.
Her lab investigates asthma and how allergens can inflame nasal airways, especially in small babies.
Clare talks to Stephen about the pressures of running a research lab, and how she goes about providing her team with a productive working environment.
As a Principal Investigator, Clare has to encourage and inspire her researchers.
She also has to secure finance for her research projects and make sure the lab runs smoothly and effectively, because ultimately, Clare's success as a scientist will be judged by her academic results.

In this programme, Stephen meets zoologist Andrew Gosler.
For more than 25 years, Andrew has been studying the Great Tit population in Wytham Wood near Oxford.
Andrew greatly respects the animals he studies and the environment they inhabit.
He finds inspiration working so closely with nature, and that inspiration motivates his scientific enquiries.
But Andrew accepts that scientific description can only ever provide a partial description of reality.
Science will never encapsulate Andrew's own, private and unique relationship with the world he studies.

Commercial banks recognize perhaps as well as anyone that time is money, and even small shifts in the cost of funds can have significant impact on banks' commercial loan performance. To remain nimble in the global economy, financial institutions require near-real-time performance measures and alerts for events requiring review or action.
Those measures and alerts often come from Web-based business intelligence dashboards.
But bankers are no longer deskbound. More likely, they are meeting off-site with clients and sharing the business data, and they do not necessarily want to lug a laptop. With the functionality of smartphones and tablets increasing there comes a number of considerations for business intelligence:
Data type and design: What works on a laptop or paper report (tables, pie charts, etc.) may not work well on a tablet or smartphone.
Interactivity, collaboration and alerting capability: These each must be tailored to the tablet or smartphone platform.
Security: As tablets and phones initially evolved for personal use with limited security concerns, their use in corporate settings demands enterprise-class security mechanisms.
Increasingly, sophisticated financial institutions are making it easier for employees to get their business intelligence on the go. In a recent report, "Mobile BI: Actionable Intelligence for the Agile Enterprise," Aberdeen Group noted that 80% of best-in-class businesses currently use or are planning to use mobile business intelligence delivered via a native application, rather than a Web browser. Companies that use mobile business intelligence make critical management decisions in one-sixth of the time required, compared with companies that do not use mobile business intelligence — 26 hours compared with 165 hours. The study also found that top-performing mobile business intelligence-using organizations achieved a "time-to-decision" interval of 3.8 hours, three times faster than all other business intelligence users not employing mobile.
Moving business intelligence to a mobile platform evolves from the realization among high-performing organizations that business intelligence isn't just for strategic decisions made in the boardroom; it is necessary for front-line employees making daily decisions. Financial information no longer has simple, black-and-white parameters. There are multiple loan rates, decisions on granting a loan need to be made on the spot (versus weeks of review), and banks are constantly adjusting to whom and how much they can lend, based on risk-adjusted portfolios. The terms a financial institution can offer in the morning might change by the afternoon — and could certainly change by the next day. Bankers meeting with clients need access to this information 24/7.
Letting bankers tap into the company's internal website through their smartphones isn't enough. If you've ever struggled to read an article on your phone or view a complex chart on a tablet, you already understand that business intelligence on a mobile device isn't just a matter of logging in to the company dashboard.
Traditional ways of presenting information, including pie charts, tables — essentially anything that is static, has limited value. Mobile users expect an interactive experience. Thus, bar charts and sparklines that allow users to drill down into the data are a better option. Being able to use a finger or stylus to brush over data is another important feature. Animation options that allow users to see change over time are equally critical.
What does a banker need an alert about? Who decides which tables need drill-down capability and what can be provided in a more static manner? The best mobile business intelligence applications engage the users in designing the alerts and fashioning the interactive aspects of the information delivered. The best developers know what updates need to be pushed automatically and when. They also understand how to create reports that will work regardless of whether it is being accessed natively on a mobile device or from a Web browser in the office.
Financial firms don't just have critical competitive data on their networks; they have information that is subject to regulation. Their challenge is not only to keep information secure while it is on the device, but securing the transmittal of data to a mobile device is also critical.
Because mobile devices can get lost or stolen, the ideal approach to security is layered. At the server level users are authenticated, and their access to data is determined by security administration. Between the server and mobile device, data passes in an encrypted session. At the physical level, mobile devices are secured by a passcode lock, autolock after periods of inactivity, and autowiping of devices after failed unlock attempts. Administrators can configure security to wipe application-specific data that is cached or the complete device.
Several banks are already putting mobile business intelligence to work. In Italy, a bank my company works with put Apple iPads in the hands of all its bankers. These individuals now have at hand their latest performance information during conference calls held to discuss marketplace changes. In the past these mobile bankers depended on printing out PDFs before going on the road, so if a call was held participants could be viewing different versions of the data.
In Asia some banks are simply bypassing the step of outfitting their bankers with laptops and going straight to tablets.
While mobile has clear technical advantages, it also fosters a more personal engagement between bankers and customers in face-to-face meetings. With banking services increasingly perceived as a commodity, banks seek to emphasize the relationship. Removing the big box monitor or laptop from the desk and sharing financial details on a tablet creates a more intimate and accessible engagement. Sharing a view of the same information during financial discussions engenders trust. So while mobile business intelligence drives high-tech banking, it also delivers high-touch benefits.

Marking Bibio's first collaboration release, "The Way You Talk" is an unusual kind of heart-wrenching pop ballad from the traditionally instrumental-focused electronic music producer. Gotye smoothly sings, "But there's something about the way you talk" into a haze of echoes (the two first met when Gotye requested that Bibio remix "Somebody That I Used To Know") as Bibio layers a modified Hohner D6 Clavinet, Moog synth and "Twin Peaks-esque baritone guitar" to create a beautiful counterpoint to the vocals.
The track almost ends too soon, akin to the remnants of a fading memory. It will be on A Mineral Love, Bibio's eighth album out 1 April 2016 on Warp Records; he's described its nature as "traveling through time."

A MAN from Taunton has been arrested following a horrific crash which killed a 43-year-old in Dorset.
Dorset Police quizzed the driver of a Subaru after it collided with a Skoda on the A31 between Winterbourne Zelston and Bere Regis shortly before 6pm yesterday (March 24).
Officers confirmed a 28-year-old from Taunton was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and bailed pending further enquiries.
The casualty, from Wimborne, was travelling in Skoda with his wife, 37, and seven-year-old daughter, who were both taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The motorist from Taunton was also taken to hospital with slight injuries before being arrested.
A police spokesman said: "A blue Subaru car, driven by a man from Somerset, overtook an articulated HGV travelling west and during the course of overtaking collided with a Skoda travelling east.
"The Skoda was hit and pushed off the road and the driver, a 43-year-old man from the Wimborne area, died as a result.
"The Subaru then collided with another car travelling east, a Mercedes driven by a 66-year-old man from Poole, and then spun off the road into the roadside ditch."
The Mercedes driver was uninjured.
Police are keen to hear from more witnesses to the crash. Call 101 and quote incident number 24:368

In the final game of the preseason for the New York Giants, Andre Brown left the game against the New England Patriots and some people thought he had re-broken the leg that had been broken last November and put him on injured reserve.
Brown was able to avoid being put on season-ending injured reserve for a second straight year and instead, was put on temporary injures reserve with the leg injury with the potential of coming back, which he is eligible to do after Week 8.
On Thursday, Brown took a giant step towards coming back for the Giants as he returned to the team and practiced for the first time since late August, as Art Stapleton of the Bergen Record reported.
Since the Giants have a bye week in Week 9, which would have been the first game Brown would have been eligible for, the first time he might see any action would be their Week 10 contest on November 10 against the Oakland Raiders at MetLife Stadium.
With the injuries to the team's running back depth, getting a healthy Brown back would be a tremendous boost as the only healthy backs the team have are rookie Michael Cox, the newly-signed Peyton Hillis, who signed on Wednesday and practiced with the Giants on Thursday. Brandon Jacobs was dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, but he also returned to practice for the Giants on Thursday and is expected to play for the team on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
David Wilson is out for the next 3-4 weeks with what has been diagnosed as spinal stenosis and a herniated disc in his neck and Da'Rel Scott was recently waived and placed on season-ending injures reserve with a hamstring injury.
In 2012, Brown finally had his breakout season with the Giants, as he rushed for 385 yards on 73 carries and eight touchdowns before going down with the initial leg injury last November against the Green Bay Packers.
Also returning to practice on Thursday was defensive tackle Markus Kuhn, who has been on the physically unable to play (PUP) list and the Giants have three weeks to decide if he will be activated onto the roster or be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

I made this recipe yesterday and liked it very much. When I make it again, I will use less soy sauce than the recipe called for- maybe substituting more chicken broth. It wasa bit too "soy saucey" for my liking. But will definitely make adjustments and make it again!ReplyDelete
Cindy, thanks for letting us know how you liked it!ReplyDelete
I made this last night and it was ok, but my husband said he liked the recipes I use from your site better. However, it should be noted that I don't usually like "crock pot meats" and I started it before I left for work on low for 4 hours and let it warm the rest of the day. Perhaps if we had eaten it right away it would have been better.
I agree with Cindy, it was too soy saucy even though I used less soy sauce and add more chicken broth.
Thanks for the feedback. Personally I don't like chicken that's cooked all day in the slow cooker (unless you're making it for something where the chicken will be shredded apart) so I would guess this wasn't as good as it could have been if you cooked it all day.ReplyDelete
I made this for my husband's birthday on St. Ptrick's day and it was soooo good! My husband said it was the best chicken dish I've ever made and my in-laws were raving about it. I will be making this again in the future. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Menaka, so glad you liked it and thanks for coming back to leave a comment!ReplyDelete
I have just made this last night. It was so good. The soy sauce and balsamic vinegar I had were quite sweet so I just used half cup of soy sauce and replace the remaining quarter cup with water. I only used 1 tbsp sugar and it was still too sweet for us.
We love the tangy taste but thought the black pepper is too overwhelming. Must reduce the amount next time.
I will definitely make this again.
PL, thanks for sharing your feedback. It definitely makes the site more useful when people take the time to report back!ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to comment on Slow Cooker from Scratch! I love hearing from fellow slow cooker fans, especially if you've tried or plan to try one of the recipes featured here.

JQP posted a topic in Games Business and Law(Edit: sorry, like I said, I'm pretty fried. I'll read the FAQs first) (Edit 2: okay, no longer sorry, the FAQ doesn't answer my question and the only link in it that might be related is a 404) Hi, sorry if this comes off as incoherent, I was up all night working and could really use some shuteye. IANAL, or a game dev, so I don't know how the legal stuff works. Let's say I come up with a great storyline, general design, and what I think is a killer title, the kind someone might be inclined to "borrow" if I'm not protected. Now, I really don't care if someone steals ideas from me. Imitation, flattery, and all that. Plus, I like my ideas, generally speaking, so I wouldn't mind seeing them realized, even if it's not me doing the realizing. I digress; I'm just trying to say that I'm not uptight about this kind of stuff, much less think anyone actually wants to swipe my ideas. But I don't want to find out that I can't use my own ideas because someone used them first, either. So, how would I "register" my work so I have it on record that it's original and not "derivative," to use the legalese. Or, what if I come up with a title independently, only to find out its been used, but in an otherwise unrelated work (including video games)? The more I think about it, the more I suspect this could be the case - it's not a terribly original name, just an apt/catchy one.
Not game AI per se but this was kinda interesting: [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/apr/01/ai-artificial-intelligence-robots-sautoy"]AI robot: how machine intelligence is evolving[/URL]
Sure. I was thinking in terms of what we can do with bots in shooters and the like.
JQP posted a topic in Artificial IntelligenceI was wondering if anyone was willing to chat with a non-coder a bit about the state of the art in AI. What kinds of things can AI do nowadays? What are some of the most interesting games these days in terms of AI, and how so? Articles or site links welcome.
JQP replied to scrap's topic in 2D and 3D Art"I can't draw a straight line" is one of those non-artists sayings that this artist finds funny. I mean, that's what rulers are for. Here's the thing about artistic fields that seems to amount to an open secret: hard work is just as important as talent. In fact, it's actually more important; a guy who meets his deadlines with mediocre work is better than a guy with all the talent in the world who doesn't meet deadlines. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. That said, in the real world, you're going to be competing with people who have both work ethic and talent. They're going to get jobs before you. If you can handle that, hey, go for it. The key is enjoying the work, because this will motivate you to overcome any lack of talent with practice, perseverence, etc.
Also, leaving aside the concept of GMs as authors of quests, I was thinking of the GM in terms of a manager; not [i]necessarily[/i] there to cook up a quest, so much as to [i]manage[/i] one. Basically, he's playing the quest from the other side. The PCs go in to beat it, the GM goes in to run it. Thinking of it this way, the GM advances similarly to the way the PCs do. He runs quest 1 successfully, then moves on to quest 2 successfully, etc. So he has to hit his marks if he wants to get to the next quest, just like the PCs do (it's what "hitting his marks" means for a GM that gets a bit fuzzy here, of course ). Thinking of it that way, being a GM becomes a way for a player to go through the whole game again from a totally different angle.
JQP replied to taby's topic in GDNet LoungeI dropped ASOIAF because it was so "dark." And cheaply manipulative. If I want depressing, I read the papers.
[quote]Prohibitely expensive. You would need to hire a lot of dedicated people to do the job of GM.[/quote] I was thinking more along the lines of [i]charging[/i] people to do it. Just like any other players. [quote]You can't use for this random players because it will turn into power abuse[/quote] But you can prevent power abuse by not giving them enough power to abuse. But you have a point, in that the roleplaying aspects are problematic with a hostile GM (it's one thing to limit a hostile GM by not giving him enough power to abuse when it comes to combat, but a hostile GM is not going to play by the rules when it comes to following the plot and the like). But players can choose their teammates in instanced MMOs like D&DO; I don't see why they couldn't choose their GMs, too.
JQP posted a topic in For Beginners[URL="http://www.nvidia.com/object/tessellation.html"]DirectX 11 Tessellation[/URL] [quote]Scalable Artwork For developers, tessellation greatly improves the efficiency of their content creation pipeline. In describing their motivation for using tessellation, Jason Mitchell of Valve says: "We are interested in the ability to author assets which allow us to scale both up and down. [b]That is, we want to build a model once and be able to scale it up to film quality[/b]…Conversely, we want to be able to naturally scale the quality of an asset down to meet the needs of real-time rendering on a given system." This ability to create a model once and use it across various platforms means shorter development times, and for the PC gamer, the highest possible image quality on their GPU.[/quote] Is that hype? Scaling down is a concept I'm familiar with, but scaling up? Does that actually work as advertised? Can I find more detail on this somewhere? Seems counterintuitive to me.
JQP replied to JQP's topic in GDNet LoungeThat's so weird, that I have to drive to the store and read them on the box, basically buy the game in a box store to get the credits. Game industry, thy name is shame. (Ever noticed how few antonyms there are for pride? Synonyms abound, but antonyms are all phrases, basically synonyms for pride with modifiers attached)
JQP replied to JQP's topic in GDNet LoungeSo far Vindictus and TERA look pretty good.
JQP posted a topic in GDNet LoungeIf I want to know how many people worked on a film, and what role they played in making it, I can go to IMDB and look up cast & crew. Is there something like this for games? How can I see the credits for a game, short of buying it, playing it all the way through, beating it, and taking a screenshot of the credits page?
Yeah NWN was the only game I could think of that used a GM, but that was a more traditional DM role, as opposed to an attempt to fuse the role of GM and that of an active competitor in the game, if you take my meaning. But I think just returning to and advancing the NWN model would be a great leap forward for CRPGs. In fact I think the model I advanced above might be a step backward for the type of game where small groups play online cooperatively, like NWN 1 & 2; the competitive/GM trying to win thing might work best for MMOs. [quote]the two ways I can see rewarding the gm is a players rating of set campaign or a set time to death ratio the longer the players services the more xp the gm would get though bout could be abused[/quote] I was thinking some kind of challenge rating algorithm might work to reward good GMs too; the harder the DM works the PCs [i]without[/i] killing or otherwise annoying them, the higher the rating. Something that rewards the GM for challenging the PCs, but not for breaking them. But I don't know how that would work. It could be just as simple as keeping balance sufficiently in favor of the PCs, and then turning loose a GM bent on destroying them. Then just find the sweet spot for balance. Maybe GMs could play with a handicap - the better they are, the less resources they get to deploy against a given party, but they could also get bigger rewards for their services. Maybe good GMing could have rewards for players as PCs; it could serve as a way to get points toward PC rewards like magic items without forking over cash. [quote]side noite from what i have been reading for the neverwinter night online i belive there are adding something along that line as well[/quote] I didn't even know [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_%28video_game%29"]Neverwinter[/url] was in development, thanks. [quote]When asked for gameplay details during an interview with MaximumPC.com, Cryptic Studios chief operating officer Jack Emmert explained, "It's not an MMO in the sense that there aren't zones with hundreds-and-hundreds of people. You are not fighting for spawns. There's a very strong storyline throughout the game. So it's more of a story-based game closer to things like Dragon Age or Oblivion, which we really try to follow."[13][/quote] Which raises the question of why it went from an online multiplayer cooperative CRPG to an MMORPG in the first place, if it's just going to be an online multiplayer cooperative CRPG. Oh, wait, I know - revenue. Heh. "Neverwinter" isn't a very smart name choice, in terms of marketing. You're supposed to add another word so search engines can filter out the other Neverwinter stuff. Maybe they'll recover from this error by allowing me to backstab and kill Drizzt.
JQP posted a topic in GDNet LoungeKrikey, Google gives me a phone book of sites written in Engrish, or that omit titles I know exist and are still current, etc. Can someone recommend me some games, or a good list, or maybe a site with a good MMO search engine? I'm looking for good, current fantasy MMORPGs. Preferably short on wonky Anime stuff (Lodoss not counting as wonky here ), though eastern influences and settings are okay, and I'm more looking for western styles. Pretty graphics preferred. If I could choose PnP RPG settings to turn into MMOs, they'd be stuff like WFRP, D&D (Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Kara-Tur, Mystara, Dark Sun), Vampire The Dark Ages, Conan, WFRP, Cthulhu Dark Ages, Freeport, etc. I already know about DDO, Conan, and WoW, but beyond that they're probably new to me.
JQP posted a topic in Game Design and TheoryJust kicking around an idea here - I'm not going to get a minesweeper or a Tetris made any time soon, much less an MMO (TBH I've barely even played any MMOs). Basically, the idea is to incorporate a MMORPG version of the long-neglected engine of the tabletop RPG - the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Master"]Gamemaster[/url] (GM) (link is to DM because the GM article is too diffuse and far afield for my purposes). Not like the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamemaster#Gamemasters_in_online_games"]MMO GM[/url] described at Wiki, but the GM as fellow CRPG player; he's not there to play lifeguard/customer service rep (not that that model and the one I'm describing are mutually exclusive, mind), he's there to breathe life into the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player_character"]NPCs[/url] and challenge the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_character"]PCs[/url]. That's the thorny design issue, though. Generally, the GM is [i]not[/i] there to beat the other players. In most PnPRPGs, the GM can kill the party off with ease; he gets his rocks off by providing the other players with an interesting story, characters, challenges, etc. Ideally, in the most common method of PnP play, he tends to "lose" to the other players, in the sense that his villains get knocked off eventually, their plans are thwarted, and the players win the day. Like the bad guy in a Hollywood action movie, he has a great time chewing the scenery and giving the good guys hell, but eventually he kicks the bucket, preferably in grand style. (on the other hand, he can't be a pushover - we're talking games, not movies, and if the players muck it up they should lose, retreat, live to fight another day...even die). But this is a CRPG, not pen and paper. We can be much more structured, to account for the aggro effects of online play between strangers - limit the GM's power so he has to work within the constraints of game balance. I.e., he can't call down the greater powers of the universe to smush the PCs like ants. He has to be very good at his task if he wants to beat good players, and they have the edge in the long run (just like a single-player game; it costs the PCs some lives, but they usually win out in the end). In essence, the goal is to change the GM player's concept of "winning" (i.e., of "being entertained") from "I defeated the other players," to "I kicked ass - a great time was had by all!" I can think of two main ways to accomplish this. First is by rewarding the kind of success you want - give GMs rewards for good GMing, rather than defeating players. Ranking as a good and/or challenging GM, "experience" points to use in-game, etc. Second is with alternative gameplay. The GM role really screams for some RTS/[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_time_tactics"]RTT[/url] and simulation elements. This is where we get to the good part. PCs are supposed to solve the mystery, save the princess, kill the villains, etc. They're the stars. But the GM gets to be [i]everything else[/i]. He gets to set up the story, design the dungeon, create the bit players, play the villains, command the evil horde, etc. And when the PCs finish breaking all his crockery and leave, he gets to repopulate, repair the damage, add on a new wing or level (e.g., set the evil dwarves to digging a new mine shaft), concoct some new inhabitants and challenges, etc. Say, with points recycled from the previous version, plus new points earned for GMing, plus any bonus from good GMing. Another fun aspect of GMing is that you can jump around as much as you want. You can keep jumping from one orc to the next until the patrol is all dead - then you get to be the next critter to try to bash the PCs over the head, and so on, upping the ante all the way until the big finale when you play the mustache-twirling arch-villain (who then escapes through a secret door at the last moment, once again thwarting the PCs' attempts to bring him to justice), or the dragon to be slain, whatever. And all of it is optional in a CRPG; don't like the RTS/RTT or simulation parts? Don't mess with them. Let the AI do it while you mustache-twirl. Or vice-versa. Basically, [i]make GMing into a fun game in its own right.[/i] So, what's the point? Intelligent challenges: villains as crafty as the PCs, with as much personality (this is a big one - a good GM beats a dialog tree to hell and back), and unique content (GM-created plots and challenges). In a nutshell, someone behind the wheel for the opposition. It probably won't be every player's cup of tea, but it doesn't have to be. A typical PnP GM can handle anywhere from 4-6 PCs ; some take on twice as many (though a GM is most effective, and the game runs most smoothly, when the PCs obey some general 'rules,' like not splitting the party, regardless of size). And an MMORPG GM could easily take off his GM cap and join the PCs whenever he likes. And the GM-PC dynamic I've outlined is only the traditional PnP model. The dynamic could be reversed, with PCs as the "black hats," predisposed to lose, and the GM (and assisstants) as the "white hats," predisposed to win. Or the players could all become GMs, and have fun slaying NPC bots playing the role traditionally filled by PCs. For all I know some or all of this has been done already. Either way, I think PnPRPGs have a hell of a lot to offer us with the concept of GM. Flame away if you like, I have a thick skin. I also love a good argument. And I haven't kicked the tires on this idea at all, so I'm looking forward to discovering and considering the flaws.

New test could estimate age of crime suspects from bloodstains
Nov. 22, 2010
A new test can estimate crime suspects'
or missing people's ages to an accuracy of nine years based on bloodstains at a crime scene, scientists report.
Send us a comment on this story, or send it to a friend
A new test can estimate the age of crime suspects or missing people, give or take nine years, basd on bloodstains at a crime scene, scientists report. In principle, the technique could be put to immediate practical use by law enforcement, say the developers, who report their findings in the Nov. 23 issue of the journal Current Biology. They have begun a required validation of the test, designed to ensure quality standards are met. "Human age can be estimated from blood with reasonable accuracy using a simple, robust, and sensitive test assay," said Manfred Kayser of the Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands. "Our method is applicable in situations where only bloodstains are available, which covers a large proportion of crime cases." The method will be especially useful in forensic cases in which age information is important to provide investigative leads, Kayser added. Existing methods for age estimation have limited use for crime investigation, he said, because they depend on the availability of teeth, bones, or other identifiable body parts. The new method takes advantage of a fundamental characteristic of immune cells known as T cells. These play a key role in recognizing foreign invaders, an ability that depends on a structures on the cellular surfaces called T cell receptors. Each receptor matches specific molecules derived from bacteria, viruses, parasites, or malignant cells. That diversity of receptors is achieved through a specific rearrangement of the T cells' DNA, a process that produces small circular DNA molecules as a by-product. The number of those circular DNA molecules, known as signal joint TCR excision circles, declines at a constant rate with age. The new test measures the concentrations of these circles "in the total DNA extracted from a small blood sample and use a reference gene not affected by age to compensate for the total amount of DNA in the sample," Kayser explained. Kayser said that the test currently has the highest accuracy of any test designed to estimate a human trait from DNA information. Its prediction accuracies are comparable to or better than those recently demonstrated for predicting brown versus blue eye color from DNA, a test that has already been put to forensic use, he added. The new tests may be harbingers of what's to come as researchers uncover new methods to reconstruct the appearance of unknown persons from biological crime scene samples or remains. Conventional DNA profiling "can only identify persons already known" to investigators, Kayser said.

JON Wilkin will be a proud man when he runs out at Langtree Park on Sunday for his testimonial match against Wakefield Trinity, 3pm.
But ten years since crossing over from Hull KR, Wilkin does not want to start reminiscing about the 'good times' just yet and has set himself a clear goal to win trophies as one of the team's leaders.
And Wilkin echoes a point that new coach Nathan Brown seems to be hammering home, that the team is working on the fine details required to catch the three teams that have taken out all the silverware in the past four years.
The 29-year-old back rower, who skippered England in last season's second Exiles game, said: "I set myself goals and incrementally have achieved them.
"Having won the Challenge Cup, Super League and the World Club Challenge, my biggest goal now is one which I set two years ago which is to win something in a team without the likes of Scully, Longy and Keiron, three absolute World class players.
"Wello and myself are the senior players now so I want us to win something as a group and really put to bed this question as to whether we are good enough."
Wilkin will be packing down in a new look back row, featuring the strong running and slick-handling skills of Willie Manu, but it is the off-field input of the new coaching team that he feels could make the difference in taking the cups off Warrington. Leeds and Wigan.
"Under Nathan there is a real energy towards us going to win trophies and for each individual player to get better.
"I am learning every day and that is what is exciting me. I know he has picked up things that can improve my game and the team's game.
"We can see what Wigan and Warrington are doing is consistently working.
"Nathan and Jamahl Lolesi, especially, are taking elements of what those teams do and not just replicating it poorly but asking what the next step is," he said.

From BaseX Documentation
This article is part of the XQuery Portal. It describes how external XQuery modules and Java code can be installed in the XQuery module repository, and how new packages are built and deployed.
[edit] Introduction
One of the reasons why languages such as Java or Perl have been so successful is the vast amount of libraries that are available to developers. As XQuery comes with only 150 pre-defined functions, which cannot meet all requirements, there is some need for additional library modules – such as FunctX – that extend the language with new features.
BaseX offers the following mechanisms to make modules accessible to the XQuery processor:
- The default Packaging mechanism will install single XQuery and Java modules in the repository.
- The EXPath Packaging system provides a generic mechanism for adding XQuery modules to query processors. A package is defined as a
.xararchive, which encapsulates one or more extension libraries.
[edit] Accessing Modules
Library modules can be imported with the
import module statement,
followed by a freely choosable prefix and the namespace of the target module.
The specified location may be absolute or relative; in the latter case, it is resolved
against the location (i.e., static base URI) of the calling module.
Import module statements must be placed at the beginning of a module:
Main Module
import module namespace m = 'http://basex.org/modules/Hello' at 'HelloWorld.xqm'; m:hello("Universe")
Library Module
HelloWorld.xqm (in the same directory):
module namespace m = 'http://basex.org/modules/Hello'; declare function m:hello($world) { 'Hello ' || $world };
Repository modules are stored in a directory named
BaseXRepo or
repo, which resides in your home directory. XQuery modules can be manually copied to the repository directory or installed and deleted via commands.
If a module has been placed in the repository (see below), there is no need to specify the location. The following example calls a function from the FunctX module:
import module namespace functx = 'http://www.functx.com'; functx:capitalize-first('test')
[edit] Commands
There are various ways to handle your packages:
- Execute BaseX REPO commands (listed below)
- Call XQuery functions of the Repository Module
- Use the GUI (Options → Packages)
You can even manually add and remove packages in the repository directory; all changes will automatically be detected by the query processor.
[edit] Installation
A module or package can be installed with
REPO INSTALL. The path to the file has to be given as a parameter:
REPO INSTALL http://files.basex.org/modules/expath/functx-1.0.xar REPO INSTALL hello-world.xqm
The installation will only succeed if the specified file conforms to the constraints described below. If you know that your input is valid, you may as well copy the files directly to the repository directory, or edit its contents in the repository without deleting and reinstalling them.
[edit] Listing
All currently installed packages can be listed with
REPO LIST. It will return the names of all packages, their version, and the directory in which they are installed:
URI Version Directory ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.functx.com 1.0 http-www.functx.com-1.0 1 package(s).
[edit] Removal
A package can be deleted with
REPO DELETE and an additional argument, containing its name or the name suffixed with a hyphen and the package version:
REPO DELETE http://www.functx.com ...or... REPO DELETE http://www.functx.com-1.0
[edit] Packaging
[edit] XQuery
If an XQuery file is specified as input for the install command, it will be parsed as XQuery library module. If parsing was successful, the module URI will be rewritten to a file path and attached with the
.xqm file suffix, and the original file will be renamed and copied to that path into the repository.
Installation (the original file will be copied to the
org/basex/modules/Hello sub-directory of the repository):
REPO INSTALL http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/Hello/HelloWorld.xqm
Importing the repository module:
import module namespace m = 'http://basex.org/modules/Hello'; m:hello("Universe")
[edit] Java
For general notes in importing Java classes, please read the Java Bindings article on Module Imports.
Java archives (JARs) may contain one or more class files. One of them will be chosen as main class, which must be specified in a
Main-Class entry in the manifest file (
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF). This fully qualified Java class name will be rewritten to a file path by replacing the dots with slashes and attaching the
.jar file suffix, and the original file will be renamed and copied to that path into the repository.
If the class will be imported, an instance of it will be created, and its public functions can then be addressed from XQuery. A class may extend the
QueryModule class to get access to the current query context and to be enriched by some helpful annotations (see Context-Awareness).
Structure of the
HelloWorld.jar archive:
META-INF/ MANIFEST.MF org/basex/modules/ Hello.class
Contents of the file
MANIFEST.mf (the whitespaces are obligatory):
Manifest-Version: 1.0 Main-Class: org.basex.modules.Hello
Contents of the file
Hello.java (comments removed):
package org.basex.modules; public class Hello { public String hello(final String world) { return "Hello " + world; } }
Installation (the file will be copied to
REPO INSTALL HelloWorld.jar
XQuery file
HelloUniverse.xq (same as above):
import module namespace m = 'http://basex.org/modules/Hello'; m:hello("Universe")
After having installed the module, all of the following URIs can be used in XQuery to import this module or call its functions (see URI Rewriting for more information):
http://basex.org/modules/Hello org/basex/modules/Hello org.basex.modules.Hello
[edit] EXPath Packaging
The EXPath specification defines how the structure of a .xar archive shall look like. The package contains at its root a package descriptor named
expath-pkg.xml. This descriptor presents some meta data about the package as well as the libraries which it contains and their dependencies on other libraries or processors.
[edit] XQuery
Apart from the package descriptor, a
.xar archive contains a directory which includes the actual XQuery modules. For example, the FunctX XAR archive is packaged as follows:
expath-pkg.xml functx/ functx.xql functx.xsl
[edit] Java
In case you want to extend BaseX with a Java archive, some additional requirements have to be fulfilled:
- Apart from the package descriptor
expath-pkg.xml, the package has to contain a descriptor file at its root, defining the included jars and the binary names of their public classes. It must be named
basex.xmland must conform to the following structure:
<package xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/pkg"> <jar>...</jar> .... <class>...</class> <class>...</class> .... </package>
- The jar file itself along with an XQuery file defining wrapper functions around the java methods has to reside in the module directory. The following example illustrates how java methods are wrapped with XQuery functions:
Suppose we have a simple class
Printer having just one public method
package test; public final class Printer { public String print(final String s) { return new Writer(s).write(); } }
We want to extend BaseX with this class and use its method. In order to make this possible we have to define an XQuery function which wraps the
import module namespace j="http://basex.org/lib/testJar"; declare namespace p="java:test.Printer"; declare function j:print($str as xs:string) as xs:string { let $printer := p:new() return p:print($printer, $str) };
As it can be seen, the class
Printer is declared with its binary name as a namespace prefixed with "java" and the XQuery function is implemented using the Java Bindings offered by BaseX.
On our file server, you can find some example libraries packaged as XML archives (xar files). You can use them to try our packaging API or just as a reference for creating your own packages.
[edit] URI Rewriting
If a module is looked up in the repository, the namespace URI is rewritten to a local file path:
- If the URI is a URL:
- colons will be replaced with slashes,
- in the URI authority, the order of all substrings separated by dots is reversed, and
- dots in the authority and the path are replaced by slashes. If no path exists, a single slash is appended.
- Otherwise, if the URI is a URN, colons will be replaced with slashes.
- Characters other than letters, dots and slashes will be replaced with dashes.

During a Storm: What to do
If an evacuation order was issued, everyone should have evacuated. Sheltering at home in Miami Beach can be extremely dangerous and should only be used as a last resort. However, if you were not able to leave before the onset of storm conditions -- notify family and friends of your situation.
SAFE ROOM If you have not evacuated prior to the arrival of Tropical Storm conditions, you must shelter in place. In a high-rise building, you want to shelter in the lower levels, but not on the first three levels. Hurricane winds increase at higher levels. Stay in an interior room or hallway away from windows and doors. Take your immediate emergency supplies with you that should include, at minimum, a battery-powered radio, flashlight, important papers in a zipped-up plastic bag, and cellphone.
EMERGENCY CALLS Rescue and Police crews cease emergency operations at the arrival of Tropical Storm force (40 mph+) winds. Following a hurricane, emergency calls will be very limited due to flooding, downed power lines, and limited street access and personnel.
Re-entering the City
Please be patient; officials' priority is public safety. Listen to the local news media for possible road closures and curfews. A reoccupation order can take hours, days or weeks depending on the severity of damage to roads, bridges and buildings. After the order for reoccupation to the city is issued, you will have to provide proof of residency (driver's license and/or utility bill with current Miami Beach address) to roadblock officials to re-enter Miami Beach. This is done to protect your home and/or business from unwelcome visitors.
- Find out if the authorities have declared the area safe
- Watch for debris on the road while driving
- Return to your pre-determined assembly point and/or contact your pre-established out-of-area contact person. Make sure all family members have been accounted for and let others know of your status
- Make sure the main electrical switch to your home is off before entering the structure
- Be careful when entering a structure that has been damaged
- If you suspect a gas leak, leave immediately and notify the gas company
- If possible, listen to the radio or contact authorities to find out if sewage lines are intact before turning on the water or using the toilet
- Report utility damage to the proper authorities
- Continue to monitor your local news for up-to-date emergency information such as boil water advisories
Many injuries occur after the storm. To avoid injury, use common sense and wear proper clothing, including clothes with long sleeves and long pants, and safety shoes or boots.
- DOWNED POWER LINES Stay away and do not touch downed power lines. Stay away from standing water that may have active electrical currents. Although you may be without power in your home/business, it does not mean the lines are not active.
If you must travel, treat all intersections as four-way stops. Some roads may be restricted. Curfews may be imposed.
operate a generator indoors, on balconies or near open windows. Make sure that the generator is running in a well-ventilated area. Many people die from carbon monoxide poisoning every year due to improper generator use. Read instructions and use with caution.
- TREE TRIMMING Use caution with operating power equipment (i.e., chain saws): Follow the manufacturer's instructions and wear safety equipment (i.e., goggles and gloves). Stay clear of those using manual or other tools to cut trees. Avoid back injuries by using mechanical assistance to move debris too large to move manually.
If you are concerned that your food may have spoiled, when in doubt, throw it out. For additional food safety information, call the toll-free USDA/FSIS Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1.888.674.6854.
Uprooted insects and mosquitoes thrive in post-storm conditions. If you are without power, it is likely you have windows and doors open for periods of time. Use mosquito repellant and nets and spray entrance areas with insect killers.
You will be exposed to more heat and sun, especially if you are without power. Wear sunscreen, drink water and try to keep cool. A portable, battery-powered fan will make you feel more comfortable.
The City's priority is to clear major roadways of storm debris as soon as it is safe immediately following a hurricane. Other roads are cleared thereafter.
A courtesy single-family home residential storm debris collection may be deemed necessary. If a special collection is issued, please separate vegetation debris from other storm-related trash and place neatly on your curb. This will facilitate and expedite the collection service.
If you have excess storm debris, please take vegetation to the Green Waste Facility at 29 Street and Meridian Avenue from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or call 305.471.4444 to make a regular bulk waste pick-up appointment (single-family homes only).
If your home is deemed uninhabitable by the Building Official, you must leave your home until proper repairs are completed. If necessary, the Miami Beach Building Department, second floor, City Hall, will issue emergency building permits due to storm-related damages to expedite repairs.
Direct Assistance
To individuals and families may come from any number of organizations, including:
- American Red Cross
- Salvation Army
- Other volunteer organizations
These organizations provide food, shelter, supplies and assist in clean-up efforts. In the most severe disasters, the federal government is also called in to help individuals and families with temporary housing, counseling (for post-disaster trauma), low-interest loans and grants, and other assistance after assessments are made. The federal government also has programs that help small businesses and farmers. Most federal assistance becomes available when the President of the United States declares a "Major Disaster" for the affected area at the request of a state governor. FEMA will provide information through the media and community outreach about federal assistance and how to apply.

Example 2 for SQL*Loader
This example shows how to insert records that are seperated by a comma.
First, the table to be filled is created:
create table sql_loader_2 ( field_1 varchar2(10), field_2 number );
Here's the control file. Note, that the second field is specified as integer external. That means, that the numbers in the dat file are human readable rather than "real" bytes.
load data infile 'load_2.dat' "str '\r\n'" insert into table sql_loader_2 fields terminated by ',' ( field_1 char, field_2 integer external )
Here's the data. The name of the file (load_2.dat) had been specified with the infile statement in the control file.
one,1 two,2 fifty,50 eighty-eight,88 one hundred,100 fifteen,15
The following command actually loads the data.
sqlldr control=load_2.ctl userid=rene/rene
The table now contains (
select * from sql_loader_2):
FIELD_1 FIELD_2 ---------- ---------- one 1 two 2 fifty 50 fifteen 15
Two records could not be loaded, they appear in the bad file:

New member - Virginia
Hello fellow members!
I am a first time BMW owner and have a 2005 325xi. This forum has been a great help in maintaining and repairing my car. Just last weekend I replaced the rear brakes/rotors and the valve cover gasket. All done with DIY info from this forum. I am quickly becoming familiar with all the features (and minor "issues") of this car. I recently bought this from a former co-worker who is moving overseas. I plan on selling it in the spring and will be looking for another one. I enjoy the easy to medium level projects on these cars and I hope I can contribute to other members as they work on theirs.
Looks good welcome!

The "Preschool for All Act" - a California 2006 ballot initiative - proposes a 1.7% tax increase on targeted annual income brackets in order to fund preschool for all the state's 4-year-olds. Georgia and Oklahoma adopted a similar initiative. Florida and Arizona are headed in the same direction. State preschool initiatives for 4-year-olds are part of a national movement to establish universal preschool - an initiative that would create a new bureaucracy and expand government control over children's lives. (Fox News, 11-29-2005)
Nearly $1 trillion will be spent on education in the United States during the 2005-2006 school year. The amount is roughly 10% of the overall U.S. economy. (New York Times, 12-11-2005)
American Psychological Association (APA) in a state of professional decline, say psychologists. At a Nov. 2005 NARTH conference, former APA president Nicolas Cummings, Ph.D, charged that the APA was being exploited at the hands of special interest activists in the organization. He noted the APA taking positions when supportive scientific evidence did not exist. Cummings said "one of the worst resolutions" was a 2004 APA position favoring gay marriage - supported by insufficient references. He also explained that APA research is only being done "when they know what the outcome is going to be . . . only research with predictably favorable outcomes is permissible." More criticism about the APA came in a presentation by Jeffrey Santinover, M.D., who described recent legal cases with ethics breeches
involving gay activists distorting scientific research findings in order to further their own socio-political objectives. (NARTH, 11-20-2005, http://www.narth.com/docs/insiders.html)

For men just getting out of prison, it can be very hard to assimilate back into society, let alone find access to the most basic needs like safe and clean housing and a job. Veterans returning from combat, too, often find themselves in this same predicament, with post-traumatic stress compounding everything they are going through. To help these men, there is House of Matthew homeless prevention and life skills center in Tacoma. Offering transitional services and support, housing and life skills training, House of Matthew exists to challenge the vicious cycle of homelessness, to provide hope for a better tomorrow and to give perhaps the greatest gift of all – independence. "Our mission is to help the homeless overcome homelessness," explained CEO Jeanette Twitty. "We try to do that in every possible way. "We believe that no one should experience homelessness; that no one should be without a safe place to call home." House of Matthew is non-denominational but follows the principles of compassion in action as described in the Book of Matthew (25:35:36): "I was hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took me in; naked and ye clothed me; I was sick and ye visited me; I was in prison and ye came unto me." While House of Matthew focuses on men and cannot accommodate women and family housing at this time, the organization will help when called upon. House of Matthew also does not discriminate against the chronically homeless.
"We focus on men because there are so many services for women," said House of Matthew President Melosha Turner. Together with Twitty (her mom) and dad Cornell Twitty, who runs the Rapid Employment Program, they are the foundation on which the House stands. Turner has plenty of "real world" training in advocacy from supporting her autistic son and from being homeless for a period in her life. In Florida, she led some great work at Umbrella of Hope to provide for those who are less fortunate. Jeanette Twitty has a nursing background combined with her caring and nurturing nature. As a couple, the Twittys have been spiritual bound residents of Washington for a combined 30 years. As parents of three adult daughters and one son, they have had the chance to understand the mistakes made in daily living, and those experiences led to establishing a place for second chances called House of Matthew. It was after spending about four years serving people out in Tacoma neighborhood that they were able to learn what specific needs are not being met by current service providers and then established House of Matthew to help fill the gaps. A veteran-owned business, House of Matthew is associated with the Tacoma Rescue Mission, Goodwill, World Vision, Tacoma Area Coalition for Individuals with Disabilities, Tacoma/Pierce County Coalition to End Homelessness, the Veterans Administration Hospital and more.
Before moving into an actual house last month at 802 Martin Luther King Junior Way, House of Matthew services were already in action. "In 2008 we noticed that there was a really big need for services in Pierce County," Turner said, which led to providing services wherever the people were who needed them. "We went to people where they were at – in their homes, in the hospital, a mental facility, a shelter… From there we began to build a list of resources and talking to people to find out what was going on and what they needed." Housing showed to be a top priority. Today, House of Matthew manages apartment units and dorms throughout Pierce County with availability to house a minimum of 10 individuals at one given time during the temporary transition period in their lives. More than a shelter, House of Matthew provides short-term shared housing for six months while clients complete programs in life skills training, high demand job training, computer literacy and more. Clients can also get legal assistance, small business assistance and other such help. Its life skill training is open to the community. "You don't have to be part of our programs to participate," Twitty said.
Larry Nicholas is life skills coach at House of Matthew, one of numerous volunteers. He, too, has been homeless yet kicked his addictions and now is earning a degree in psychology and substance abuse counseling. At House of Matthew, he provides clients with transportation to appointments and errands like grocery shopping, assists with job training, creating resumes, financial budgeting, personal hygiene and even opening up checking and savings accounts. He also drops in on clients to check on them and how they are living. Turner said this is the way to get their clients out of the rut they are in – by showing them how. "The only way to overcome homelessness is to address the barriers that are causing it," Turner said. "Once you do that, you can focus on the rest of your life because if you're stuck thinking about everything else that's going on, you can't possibly break that barrier and continue on because you're stuck in a rut. House of Matthew chips away at that rut. Once they finish our program we try to get them into permanent and affordable public housing." House of Matthew is funded not through grants, but through partnerships and individual donors. Sunday dinners, available to the general public for pick-up and delivered to those who cannot travel, provide not only a delicious and nutritious home-cooked meal, but also a means for the House to raise funds. To reserve your dinner for pick-up (between noon and 3 p.m.), call (253) 301-0508.
With about six public fundraisers a year, these events provide much of the money needed to keep the House going. Tacoma Comedy Club has hosted successful fundraisers, and on Dec. 2 electric six-string violin virtuoso Geoffrey Castle is returning to give a fundraising concert, 7-9 p.m., at the Am-Vets Hall at 5717 S. Tyler St. Seating and a silent art auction begin at 6 p.m., dinner and entertainment is at 7 p.m. For tickets, $20 advance/$35 door, call (253) 301-0508 or visit http://www.thehouseofmatthew.org and http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/293746.

Wariner has been following the training programme Johnson used before running the current record time of 43.18 seconds in Seville eight years ago.
"The coach pulled out some of Michael's work-outs and the average times are about the same," said the 23-year-old.
"I am on pace, training-wise, to go for the record, if we go for it."
Olympic champion Wariner clocked up a personal best 43.50 seconds in Stockholm earlier this month and is confident of retaining his world title.
"If I run like I did in Stockholm, they are not going to beat me," he said.
"My first 200m in Stockholm was faster than Michael's in his record. It is between 200 and 300 where I have to work on."
But Wariner warned: "I'm not going to go after it (the record). If it comes, it comes. I am going for victory and if I win, maybe the record will come as well.
"There are a lot of races ahead of me - if not (in Osaka) then there is the Olympics next year and a lot of other meetings."
The men's 400m heats in Osaka are on 28 August with the final three days later.
