Film Path (w/out gate)
There are a ton of variations on how many rollers, roller placement, use of PTR (particle transfer rollers), pinch rollers, sprocket rollers, etc. This section is intended to focus on how to achieve a good balance between cost and maintaining proper tension.
Here are some screenshots of how other systems are laid out:
BlackMagic Cintel
The common factors seem to be:
A note on PTRs - these are generally sticky rollers and can be used to advance the film reliably, as seen in the Kinetta. It's a clever way to advance the film without pinch rollers or sprockets. The only drawback is they're hard to source. The only ones I've been able to reliably source are from Kodak. They're expensive and I'm not sure if they'll be around much longer. There are others that exist, especially in the paper printing industry, but I'm not sure where to start. I'd love to know where they sourced the yellow PTR rollers in the Cintel scanner. Any guesses on where to look for these types of rollers?
Since PTRs are made of urethane, would it be possible to use something like a printmaking brayer if it was cut down? I am sure the durometer is important in this application, it might be nice to find that info (if possible) for the more specific versions you mention.
For scanning of damaged, brittle/dry film, it would be great if the rollers could have a large diameter. In my scanning experience it is that damaged film gets more damaged while passing through many, small rollers.
An array of urethane rollers can be found on McMasterLook at "Extra-Wide Vibration-Resistant Idler and Drive Rollers" and then there are a number of different durometers. The 35A is a yellow urethane that would be similar to a pencil eraser in feel.
I've heard (though I don't have any experience with them first hand) that PTR-rollers aren'tvery effective in doing what they are supposed to do. They basically "transfer" dust particles from one point on the film to another.See here: http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/f1/t011338.html andhttp://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/reviews/review3/review3.html
In order to get good results from the scanner we'd also need to figure out a way to clean the film properly (unless using new stock, of course). Many post houses are using a ultra-sonic cleaning process to clean the film before scanning. Of course this isn't directly related to building a scanner, but nontheless an important part in the transfer from film to digital.
@johnny5alive that's a great idea, and cheap. I would need to figure out how best to cut down the middle in a lathe-like process so the image area isn't touched.
@Martin_Weiss that's good to hear. I think fewer rollers with wider diameters is the best way to go based on what you're saying.
@MattNaples McMaster is one of my favorite sites of all time! I looked for rollers a couple of times about a year ago and didn't know what to look for. This is really helpful, thanks.
@Marian thanks for looking into that. I always get conflicting information on PTR rollers. But common sense would seem to side with what you found. There is not magical material that sucks up dust instantly - but perhaps there is a system that could be added to the Kinograph film path as an additional module that isn't too cost prohibitive. In this post there were mentions of applying a liquid solution to the film to clean it, as well as ultrasonic solutions. Both are new to me and I would have to do some tests. Totally possible, though, and I think we're finding the right track here.
Keep in mind that using a liquid cleaning solution adds a couple new problems (ehem: challenges):
a) The liquid needs to dry before the actual scanning takes place; i.e. it limits the scanning speed. (This can be solved by doing the cleaning seperately, but of course adds to the space/time/work requirements)
b) It might harm the film's long term storability.
c) It might be a health hazzard.
Have you considered having some sort of pressured air blown onto the film just before the scanning? That would get rid of dust.
Good points @Martin_Weiss . I think we can think about this as an add-on module that could be attached to the base plate of the machine if someone wanted to add it.
Just to summarise some of the above points.1) Yes, large diameter rollers are required if the film has become at all brittle, the small tight curves can destroy old film.2) PTR rollers work, but only with film that is already clean. They will pickup the small dust and hairs from the environment as the film runs, but are useless for film that has not already been cleaned.3) If you want a clean transfer, the scanner needs to be mounted inside an enclosed case, and use positive pressure to keep the dust out.4) Cleaning. The best product for cleaning is Trike, but it is expensive and not manufactured any more. The best available subsititute that is relatively safe and affordable is Gentech film cleaning solvent. http://www.relspec.com/applications/film-cleaning-solvent.html This has been used for a long time and has no adverse affects on film.4) Lubricating/scratch removal. Filmguard isn't fantastic at cleaning, but if you clean the film first, and then apply filmguard, then scan with the filmguard still on the print, you get very, very close to wet-gate results. Nearly all base scratches disappear completely. This can be applied by hand easily, or use a Kelmar/Film-O-Clean style applicator. This can cause problems with roller driven scanners though as the rollers end up coated in filmguard.5) Air blowing. This tends to cause static buildup, and is ineffectual generally, but tightly focused 'air-blade' style systems can work. However, you are better off, if dust and stray hairs are the main problem (i.e. the film is already 'clean) using PTR rollers in this case.
Hello everyone,I noticed someone mentioned that PTR's ( the roller, not the rifle) are hard to source. I have purchased the company that used to make them when they went bankrupt. I have always kept the quality really high, so I have some rejects with small bubble holes in the roller end. I could get you some for experimenting. There are 2 different durameter rollers. Regular and extra tacky. Also different sizes. Don't want this to be a sales pitch, so contact me if you want more information. Just starting to explore, so excuse me if you are past this point.
So glad to have you here, @Maker!! I bought a 6-pack of PTRs a while back but would love to see what you have as well. Can I order 2 regular ones from you?
The ones I have are 50mm inner-diameter and 75mm outer-diameter. Do you have that size?
Also, I had been using an improvised mounting strategy - that worked pretty well (see below)Those who are savvy in bearings will probably cringe. But as I recall, the mounts for PTRs are very expensive and hard to source. Is that true?
Hi "Matthewepler",
You wouldn't happen to live in southern Ontario, would you? I live in Burlington Canada. Here is a small sample of the parts I have. I could give you some seconds. I have a lot of things on the go and shipping takes a lot of time. Especially across borders. So if you know anybody around here, let me know.Great project. Major undertaking. Hope we can work out the "challenges".John
They are not hard to source if you know where to look👍🏼. Where did you get your "6 pack"? Not from doing sit-ups I bet. Is humour aloud?
If you need any close up pics of any parts, let me know.
If anyone is building along, I could put up contact info if it's okay with site admin. This is only for DIY projects. Not a sales pitch to pro's.
Yeah, contact info is cool. Humor a must. I don't want to make you ship across the border (I'm in New York). It looks like I have similar stuff to you, just not the wide variety you have. I'd say that later down the road it might be useful to do some tests with different types of PTRs as a separate module that people can add to the Kinograph.
In other words - if it's easy to send some stuff, then I'd happily pay you for it. If not, then it's not something urgent at this point and could easily wait.
Thanks so much!
Just for reference, I was browsing around and found this company that makes various in-line film cleaners. Basically, these are static dissipative brushes that can be combined with either ionized air, vaccum, or just used on their own.
Also, browsing some of the film-tech forums, it appears most cinema operators frown on PTRs simply because they get clogged too easily and result in a more dirty print than if not used at all. The consensus seemed to be using film-guard and the film guard applicator setup. If you have clean films, then PTRs can help, but used on their own seemed like they weren't very effective. Granted, this is from the forums of the site that sells film guard, but interesting to me nonetheless.
PTR's, at the correct durameter, should always be more "sticky" than the film. If there is that much dust on the film that it is re-depositing from the PTR back onto the film, they are either not caring for the PTR,s or the film. Just a thought.
Understood, and to be fair, we are talking a completely different use-case than a cinema. We should have the time to properly prep and clean a film prior to running it through a scanner, so the PTRs if cared for properly shouldn't give as much of an issue as a commercial movie theater. They are running the films multiple times per day, most days of the week, and probably don't have the time to clean each film prior to each run.
So would we say that PTRs, if properly cleaned and cared for, are a good option for cleaning?
Or can we also say that PTRs offer a good alternative to regular rollers due to their large diameter and no need for extra machining - and do no additional harm to the film?
You'll see in my latest video post that I still have PTRs on the machine. The mounts I made are really cheap to make. Happy to share those designs if anyone is interested. Video here: http://forums.kinograph.cc/t/build-phase-1-section-a-motor-assembly/152/24?u=matthewepler


text: Recession Pressures Profits at Swank Markdowns and double-digit revenue slide weigh on margins. By Brenner Thomas on February 25, 2009 Fourth-quarter profits for Swank Inc. tumbled more than 25 percent as the slowdown in consumer spending and anemic holiday shopping impacted sales of men's accessories. Net income for the maker of belts, leather goods and accessories fell 25.4 percent to $2.6 million, or 35 cents a diluted share, for the three months ended Dec. 31 from $3.5 million, or 81 cents a diluted share, in the 2007 quarter. Results for the most recent quarter were helped by $2 million of pretax income from an insurance settlement. Income from operations exclusive of the insurance benefit dropped 60.6 percent to $2.5 million. WWD logo To Read the Full Article SUBSCRIBE NOW Already a Subscriber? Log in.

Novation has debuted a "timeline" of the companies history, which looks like it was written by Dick Cheney. The company has bent many of the facts, hid a notoriously failed synth and doesn't credit Ian Jannaway, who founded and directed the company prior to the sale to Focusrite in 2005.
Focusrite tries to leverage the resume of Chris Huggett, a British engineer and designer who co-founded Electronic Dream Plant (Wasp & Gnat synthesizers / Spider sequencer), and founded Oxford Synthesizer Company, where he designed the OSC OSCar with Paul Wiffen and Anthony Harris-Griffin. The reality is that Huggett was simply a design consultant for Novation when it started, while he was working for Akai developing the operation systems for their famed S line of rack-mounted synthesizers. His contribution? The first BassStation utilized a modified Wasp filter in its architecture.
Huggett didn't actually come back into the Novation picture until Jannaway hired him to work on the SuperNova full-time.
The other glaring omission in the timeline is the Novation DrumStation synth, a single-space rack-mounted Roland 909/808 emulator. The DrumStation was plagued by dodgy and noisy outputs and almost bankrupted the company. It didn't help that the first BassStations and DrumStations were constructed in an open-air barn in the middle of a farm, but that's another story. Novation quickly issued a DrumStationV2, but the damage was done and the company struggled to recover, especially in the United States.
With Korg, Moog, and Roland leveraging their vintage currency in the marketplace, Focusrite has tried to give Novation some "legacy," but you just can't Fake The Funk.

Hey there future housemates! I'm Charli- a 21 year old vego looking for a new place to call home. I'm working full time now after studying plant bio/linguistics at uni for a couple of years. Working and studying was way too hectic for me so I'm putting the degree on pause for a little bit. I work at Dangerfield (which of course means I have a groovy wardrobe you can share, as well as a mammoth CD/book collection, if we're talking about cool things you might like to borrow. I also come with fancy pots and pans, a bright yellow toaster, a guitar, an easel and a PS4, a big beanbag, among other things). Also, I've lived out of home for over a year now, so I have a rental history and all that jazz. When I'm not working, you can usually find me seeing local bands (Old Bar, anyone?), perusing market stalls, playing guitar and singing (badly-ish), embroidering, binge watching TV shows (any it's always sunny fans?), or cooking up a storm in the kitchen (if there are other mouths to feed, that is. I won't lie, I definitely eat mi goreng and chocolate for dinner sometimes). I'm a super hygienic person so I'd really like to find housemates who like living in a clean house. Like, if you need a cleaning roster to remind you to wipe down the benches we probably won't get along haha. I like buying fresh flowers and having pretty tea towels and nice teas on display, so I'd love to live with people who get around that. I'm by no means a neat freak, creative chaos is good from time to time, but I want my house to feel like a home <3 I really want to be living with people who I can hang out with from time to time, too. We don't have to be best buddies, but I'd really appreciate having people to jam with, cook/bake for sometimes, or just watch stand up on netflix with over a cocktail or a nice cider. Not opposed to singstar competitions/karaoke. I'd really like to be living within walking distance to one of the train stations I've mentioned in my profile, too. Convenient public transport is a big priority for me. I'd also like to live reasonably close to a grocery store if that's not asking too much. I think that about covers everything! If you have any questions, or more importantly think I'd be a good fit in your home, please don't hesitate to send me a message! xx
Brady and I are good as friends as we are as a couple. We are both tidy and clean up after ourselves. We also enjoy our own quiet time, as well as socialising every now and then. Brady and I both work as bar tenders. In Brady's spare time, he produces music and trains at the gym. I study at ACU to complete the bachelor degree of education (primary teaching) and am also completing an online course of personal training at the same time. We are both respectful of your space and will share the home with care.
My friend and I are looking for a place to live for the next 6 months! We're both Americans who moved to Australia and want to be close-ish to the city. We'll both be working full time but love to go out and be social in our down time!
Hello, I'm a 33 year old professional who works in Heath Care. I'm hoping to find a house with beautiful people who appreciate simplicity, kindness and generosity. I've been in Melbourne for about 5 years now and keep discovering new things about this city. I work a regular 9-5 shift and like to relax at home most weekdays. This includes indulging in conversation about the world, bingeing on an interesting TV show or cooking up some ethnic food. My interests include world cinema, I'm always looking forward to different film festivals. Multi culture, we have to consider us lucky to be in a city that offers so much diversity, this includes trying different restaurants and cuisines. I'm guilty of traveling hours to sample new foods (Afghan in Dandenong). I don't drink and party as I much as i used to but more then happy to socializes with my housemates as i find myself more comfortable in intimate group settings. I'm not a big fan of sports and would rather spend my time reading, gardening or traveling Ideally I'm looking for a house/ apartment in the inner north (I fell in love with this area a few years back) Northcote, Thornbury, Clifton Hill, Westgarth, Brunswick East with 1/2 people. I offer my future housemates respect, kindness and consideration, I'm fairly low maintenance and pull my weight when it comes to tidying up or contributing to group dynamics. I would like to write more about myself but i rather meet over coffee/chai to tell you more about my life. This feels like a dating profile without the actual dating :) Please feel free to contact me for more details Peace Saqib
Hi! I am an open-minded student who has just moved to Melbourne from London. I am a tidy person who likes silence during the week and does not mind having someone over on the weekends.

Hey there my name is Heath, a 24-year-old student nearing the end of my Law studies. I am looking for others to share an apartment in the city with me. I could move into other people's existing share house or join a new team-up looking for a new lease. I would even be open to going in with others to purchase an apartment. A little about me: apart from the law, I have a firm interest in entrepreneurialism and appreciate others who share an internal drive to do better and be better.

Senior Communications Manager
Karl Nebbia Receives 2015 Leadership in Government Award from the Satellite Industry Association
Karl Nebbia, an independent consultant who teams with Wiley Rein's Communications Practice, has been has been awarded the 2015 Satellite Leadership in Government Award by the Satellite Industry Association (SIA). Mr. Nebbia, a former Associate Administrator in the Office of Spectrum Management at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), served in multiple senior roles during his service with NTIA; in particular, he provided critical leadership to NTIA's executive-level interagency Policy and Plans Steering Group,moving spectrum policy into the hands of executive leadership across several federal agencies.
The award was presented on Monday at SIA's 18th Annual Satellite Leadership Dinner at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC. Decker Anstrom, Head of Delegation and U.S. Representative to the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference, and Lt. Gen. Ellen M. Pawlikowski, Military Deputy, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, provided keynote remarks to the industry executives and government officials in attendance that evening.
"SIA is pleased to recognize Karl for his support and contribution to managing the spectrum interests of the satellite industry both domestically and abroad," said SIA President Tom Stroup. "In particular, his leadership of the Office of Spectrum Management, and his work at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conferences has ensured that the U.S. satellite industry's spectrum requirements have been understood and considered both within NTIA and in the interagency process."
"Spectrum's role in our social world, our economy, our safety, our security, our scientific research grows every day," said Mr. Nebbia. "It takes many steps to develop, launch, and operate a satellite system, but without spectrum it won't work. To meet future spectrum needs for the satellite community, government and industry will need to collaborate and cooperate. Similarly, the terrestrial and satellite communications industries will have to work together to find common ground for the benefit of all."
"Recently, Karl was also responsible for balancing the interests of both the satellite industry as well as the overall broadband spectrum goals of the regulatory community," added Stacy Fuller, Chair of the SIA Board of Directors and Vice President, Regulatory Affairs at DIRECTV. "We wish to thank Karl for his service and are pleased to honor him with this award."
As the former Associate Administrator of the Office of Spectrum Management at NTIA, which operates within the U.S. Department of Commerce, Mr. Nebbia led spectrum management for the executive branch agencies. His efforts recently focused on President Obama's call to identify 500 megahertz for wireless broadband and to increase spectrum sharing and industry/government collaboration as tools for providing spectrum access. Mr. Nebbia previously served as NTIA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Domestic Spectrum Management, and also has extensive international experience as the program manager.
SIA's Satellite Leadership in Government Award is traditionally presented to a current or former government official or member of Congress who has demonstrated long-term leadership and dedication to public service on issues affecting the satellite industry and has served as an example to others in government. The award's 12 previous recipients include former senior State Department official Richard C. Beaird, who is now a senior international policy advisor at Wiley Rein; Brian Nilsson of the White House National Security Staff; Rural Utilities Service Administrator Jonathan Adelstein; and General Pawlikowski, among others.

Up Your Game with Fresh Ideas and New Methods at Distill
As a web developer, it's easy to become siloed in insular communities. As we chose content for Distill, we wanted to focus on presentations that would open attendees' minds to the possibilities of using their skills in new contexts. It's time to defamiliarize, cleanse your palate and get inspired. Bring your existing acumen and apply it to a different medium, refresh your problem solving skills and learn something new.
Distill is not just a Ruby or PHP or Javascript conference, a cloud conference, or even a user experience conference. Developers who attend Distill will leave the event with new skills and broader perspectives that will shape their careers for years to come. By attending Distill, you'll gain insights into best practices across a variety of interdependent disciplines (Coders, Security Architects, UX designers, DBAs, and even Management!) that will help you be more perceptive of the challenges faced by your teammates and more creative in your problem-solving skills. You'll get the tools you need to face challenges in an informed and thoughtful way and become a stronger team member and a more well-rounded developer.
Distill will equip you with an arsenal of new methods and fresh ideas that can be reapplied to the projects you're currently working on, from application architecture and user experience to testing and security and more. Here are some highlights:
Come learn about developing for robots in our "Ruby on Robots" session. Could there be a more different development environment than the one you're used to?
Distill will feature a great look at statistical analysis using R to improve not only your health but that of your team by combining Fitbit data with the Github API in "Fitter! Happier! Chart your team's health with FitBit, Github, and R".
Another numbers game can be experienced with "Anti-Spam & Anti-Gaming Tactics". We'll take a look at how a site such as Digg at it's height dealt with a mountain of spam and folks looking to take advantage their algorithms.
Finally, learn about the Internet of Things — giving real world items a presence on the web; where a "social" interaction can happen between your fridge and your twitter account, or your iPhone and a light bulb.
This is next-level stuff, and we're proud to be showcasing these technologies.
While we certainly have plenty of web-related topics at Distill (including "Death to Cookies!" and "Four Web Technologies You Should be Looking at Now!") we hope that these four topics will really get your creative juices going — reignite your passion for solving unique problems and creating inspired applications for the future web.

What's to say there aren't Prothean ruins on Mars, or that Charon isn't a dormant mass relay? Nothing!
Part of the charm of many fictional universes is that for all we know, they could represent or be part of our reality. Whatever is set in a sufficiently distant future usually works just fine, and Harry Potter's world could very well exist under the noses of us unseeing muggles. The next event in the Mass Effect saga--the settling of Luna--being only 56 years away, the notion of the saga as our own reality and future is actually not terribly far from plausible.
There are certainly some facts in the saga regarding our currently known galaxy that are already outdated: a nasty thorn in the side of an enthusiastic role-player. Pluto is classified as a planet in the first game, for example, which is still trivial in comparison with, say, the discovery of new astronomical bodies: When the saga was in its infancy, Charon was believed to be Pluto's only moon, and four more moons have since been discovered. What's more, gas giants seemingly impossibly close to their host stars (so-called hot Jupiters) have also made it into the games; however, they are discribed as extrasolar captures, and we have since learned a lot more about planet formation, particularly about the way gas giants migrate within their birth systems.
These inconveniencies aside, however, many fictional inventions are well protected by the fact that we don't yet know if they could be true. Or, as the cynic puts it, we can't know. The aliens of Mass Effect are arguably well and carefully designed as well as motivatedly similar to us humans, the one fundamental difference between species being the chirality, or "handedness", of our biomolecules. This isn't really that big of a problem--well, not yet, anyway, because we still don't know why all life forms on Earth utilize right-handed sugars and left-handed proteins, or if it could just as easily have been the other way around. The thought is mind-blowing, but it is almost infinitely improbable that life would evolve in the same way if the whole process was started again. Indeed, during the eighteen years from the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 to the nearly thousand known exoplanets of today, we have learned that conditions on planets in other systems can be very different from ours, and should therefore yield more or less different forms of life, too. Unless life here on Earth is the only possibility for life at all, ever, anywhere, and we just got lucky.
So, although astrobiology has taken giant leaps during the making of the Mass Effect trilogy, our favourite fictional universe has remained remarkably intact. The details of slippery subjects such as dark energy remain obscured, of course--hell, we don't even know what dark energy is, only that it kind of has to exist; and so everything related to biotics, faster-than-light travel, et cetera, is no more real than magic. But by no means does this have to get in the way of creating superb fiction: the creators of the Mass Effect saga took great pains to make their universe as believable and amazing as possible, and undeniably did an unusually good job of it, too. And we shouldn't forget that even in the twenty-second century, humans don't need to know precisely how something works in order to utilize it.
But if we return to the Sol system, in the year 2013, we find that humanity is still as good as stuck on its homeworld. Followers of astronomy news are well aware that the Curiosity rover is cheerfully roaming the surface of Mars even as we speak, while Pluto and its moons are lining up for their first close-up photoshoot by the New Horizons spacecraft relentlessly churning towards them. It's almost embarrassing how little we know of our own system: so far we've had to settle for crude pictures and feeble estimations of the conditions on our celestial neighbours. What's it really like on them? What can be found there? Until someone goes there to find out, we just don't know. (And that is only a matter of funding: if only someone had choked up the money, we'd almost certainly have been to Mars and back by now.)
Sending manned spacecraft to far-away locations of interest is around the corner, but we're not there yet. The Mass Effect role-playing bubble probably won't be severely punctured anytime soon, and when it is, the whole saga might be long-forgotten anyway. But when Mars is confirmed desolate, and Charon is determined an icy rock, a small part of me will die along with the hope that the asari, turians, krogan, and salarians are waiting for me out there somewhere. Fortunately, though, I have a Playstation.

text: Good news and bad news from Microsoft. First up, the launch of Office for iPad, a product that has been rumoured for years. It's also free, which only adds to the merriment. So how is Microsoft making money? Simple, you have to sign up to Office 365.That's the catch. It's a pretty big catch too. Microsoft unveiled Office for Apple's tablet late yesterday and overnight, offered it for free on iTunes. Which means you can go and download it right now.If you do, you'll find much that should appeal for productive or business types. The suite of software contains separate apps for Word, PowerPoint and Excel, with the option to link up to OneDrive or SharePoint to save documents in the cloud. This is all about remote working, although you can save locally if you have to.It isn't just a port, each app has been redesigned from the ground up for the tablet format, although much of the functionality and the look will be familiar to season's Office workers. If you need to makes some changes to that last minute presentation, it might well become pretty essential.But the free app does comes with charges along the way. If you just want to view documents and presentations, you can get away with keeping it free. But if you are planning on creating or editing documents, then you are looking at an Office 365 subscription, which in turn is either £7.99 per month or £79.99 per year.Ok, that does give you use of other versions of Office too. But it's still a pricey option for anyone not intent on using the app (or apps) daily.

The Shangri-La at the Shard
Never has a congested driving conditions on the Old Kent Street looked so charming - everything seen fromThe Shangri-La looks captivating. The hotel possesses floors 34 to the 52 of Renzo Piano's 87-story London historic point. The rooms (contemporary, rich, Asian-impacted), eateries (particularly the sentimental Ting) and bar (gin and rosemary - heavenly) are all incredible, however nothing can contend with the unprecedented perspectives over London, which transform each visitor into a slack-jawed baby, lost in ponder, looking out, palms to the window, throughout the day. Around evening time, sitting leg over leg on the bed with the power outage blinds open resembles being on an enchantment cover, gliding high over the endless shine of the colossal city.

It's a new basketball season, but the Xavier men are starting in a familiar position — nationally ranked.
The Gold Rush is No. 13 in the NAIA Division I poll. It's Xavier's 38th straight time to be ranked, the longest streak in the nation.
However, the Rush, which opens its season at home Wednesday against Belhaven, isn't the top team in the Gulf States Athletic Conference. That distinction belongs Talladega College, which starts at No. 5.
Senior forward Sydney Coleman and junior guard Morris Wright lead Xavier, which is seeking its fifth straight GCAC regular-season title.
Wright started 28 games last season and averaged 13.5 points per game along with 3.4 rebounds Coleman started in all 32 games and averaged 12.9 points, 6.9 rebounds.
Loyola's outlook brighter
First-year Wolf Pack coach Stacy Hollowell expects better days ahead for a program that bottomed out in 2013-14. He's just not ready to predict anything more than being competitive this season.
Hollowell, who spend the past four years as an assistant with the team, got the job after 10th-year coach Michael Giorlando retired in late July to return to a career in dentistry. Last year was a teeth-grinding experience for everyone associated with Loyola, as the injury-plagued Wolf Pack plummeted to 6-21 two seasons after winning 20 games for the first time since the 1940s. They should be better this time. The top four scorers return plus senior swingman Robert Lovaglio, who missed all of last season after tearing an ACL in July of 2013. He averaged 19.7 points and 6.2 rebounds two years ago.
Paired with power forward McCall Tomeny, who averaged team highs of 16.7 points and 8.1 rebounds in 2013-2014, and the Pack has a formidable duo as a building block.
Dillard to open season
The Bleu Devils were 4-15 last year, but return nine lettermen along with six incoming freshmen.
Houston Chatman (11.6 point points, 4.8 rebounds) and sophomore forward Jarrain Jenkins (9.1 points. 5.5 rebounds) are Dillard's top players.
The Devils open Friday at Texas College.
SUNO returns eight
The Knights return eight players from a team that went 9-15 in 2013-14.
Veteran coach Dale Valdery will lead a team with six seniors, including guards Russell Hill (14.1 points) and Kevin Dukes (4.7 assists), the team leaders in those categories last season.
Loyola favored in SSAC
Coming off a quarterfinal appearance at the NAIA national tournament, the loaded Loyola women's basketball team is the preseason favorite to win the Southern States Athletic Conference.
The Wolf Pack settled for Western Division champion last year but is primed to take the next step with nine players returning, including several key contributors. The list starts with All-Conference selections Janeicia Neely and Megan Whittaker and continues with All-Freshman picks Kylah Jones, Meghan Temple and Caroline Gonzalez.
That's an entire lineup of 2013-14 honorees.
Neely, a senior guard who prepped at Cabrini, averaged 13.4 points, a team-high 4.3 assists and 4.4 rebounds. Whitaker, her backcourt mate, averaged 10.5 points while draining a team-best 105 3-pointers.
If the sophomores improve on their promising freshman years, coach Kellie Kennedy should have her best team since her first season in 2008-09, when Loyola swept its conference's regular and tournament championships.
Xavier picked to win GSAC
The Gold Rush is picked to win the Gulf States Athletic Conference and is ranked No. 19 nationally in the NAIA.
Nine players return from a year ago, including junior guard Whitney Gathright, the preseason GCAC player of the year. Gathright averaged 12.3 and 3.6 rebounds as a sophomore.
The Gold Nuggets open Friday at Campbellsville, the team that knocked them out in the second round of the NAIA Nationals last season.
SUNO has nine back
The Lady Knights of Elston King have nine letterwinners back from a team that went 15-6.
Guard/forward Brandy Broome averaged 17.5 points, 9.4 rebounds and 5.2 steals last year and was an NAIA honorable mention All-America.
Dillard looks to rebound
The Lady Bleu Devils return nine players from a 3-16 team last season under first-year head coach Norbert Rome.
Rome hopes his team can gain a boost with the addition of Rashida Ademosu, a former GCAC All-Conference guard at Fisk University. Ademosu averaged 15.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.1 steals per game at Fisk before transferring.

Download the Game Design and Indie Game Marketing Freebook 07/19/17GameDev.net and CRC Press have teamed up to bring a free ebook of content curated from top titles published by CRC Press. The freebook, Practices of Game Design & Indie Game Marketing, includes chapters from The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, and An Architectural Approach to Level Design. The GameDev.net FreeBook is relevant to game designers, developers, and those interested in learning more about the challenges in game development. We know game development can be a tough discipline and business, so we picked several chapters from CRC Press titles that we thought would be of interest to you, the GameDev.net audience, in your journey to design, develop, and market your next game. The free ebook is available through CRC Press by clicking here. The Curated Books The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, Second Edition, by Jesse Schell Presents 100+ sets of questions, or different lenses, for viewing a game's design, encompassing diverse fields such as psychology, architecture, music, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, anthropology, and more. Written by one of the world's top game designers, this book describes the deepest and most fundamental principles of game design, demonstrating how tactics used in board, card, and athletic games also work in video games. It provides practical instruction on creating world-class games that will be played again and again. View it here. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, by Joel Dreskin Marketing is an essential but too frequently overlooked or minimized component of the release plan for indie games. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing provides you with the tools needed to build visibility and sell your indie games. With special focus on those developers with small budgets and limited staff and resources, this book is packed with tangible recommendations and techniques that you can put to use immediately. As a seasoned professional of the indie game arena, author Joel Dreskin gives you insight into practical, real-world experiences of marketing numerous successful games and also provides stories of the failures. View it here. An Architectural Approach to Level Design This is one of the first books to integrate architectural and spatial design theory with the field of level design. The book presents architectural techniques and theories for level designers to use in their own work. It connects architecture and level design in different ways that address the practical elements of how designers construct space and the experiential elements of how and why humans interact with this space. Throughout the text, readers learn skills for spatial layout, evoking emotion through gamespaces, and creating better levels through architectural theory. View it here.

About caffeineaddict
Personal Information
Augusta, GA
caffeineaddict replied to owl's topic in GDNet LoungeIt varies, like others have said, sometimes I'll drink nightly, sometimes not for weeks. I usually prefer rum and coke (Sailor Jerry is my favorite rum) or something with vodka, I don't drink beer that often but if I do I get what I like and not just some cheap Bud or something, I really like Guinness or New Castle. Sometimes I drink with friends but more often I drink by myself.
caffeineaddict replied to bepawuca's topic in GDNet LoungeLike others have said it really depends on the server or if you can get together with friends who have it. I've been on great TF2 and DoD:S servers where teamwork was encouraged and others overrun by 12 year olds who camp, so just poke around in the servers to see one that you like the best.
caffeineaddict replied to bepawuca's topic in GDNet LoungeDay of Defeat Source maybe? Team Fortress 2 isn't really realistic, but it's a lot of fun.
caffeineaddict replied to Mr Explody's topic in GDNet LoungeNo problem, they invites are in Google's hands now :-p. I've played around with it a bit and it's...interesting, but I'm not completely sold on it being the next best thing. I suppose I'll have to wait and reserve judgment until people actually start using it and making cool stuff happen with it. And I'm out of invitations (was given 8 initially) so sorry, but don't bother asking :)
caffeineaddict replied to draconar's topic in Engines and MiddlewareI assume you're talking about the Focus on SDL book. It's pretty good and the bulk of the material hasn't changed a whole lot so it's probably still worth picking up even today. I haven't read through it in a while so my recollection is a bit fuzzy.
caffeineaddict replied to MadMax1992's topic in For BeginnersSeveral years ago I needed an arbitrary precision math library and used MAPM it worked out for what I was doing at the time. It seems that the library hasn't really been updated for some time and I can't say how hard or easy it would be to get it running with current compilers (there was a bug back in Visual Studio 2003 I recall). I haven't used any of the other libraries mentioned so I can't say anything about their performance or anything, but I do recall that in the article linked at the top of the MAPM site it cites how it uses several different multiplication techniques to provide fast multiplication depending on the situation (they utilize traditional multiplication techniques which is O(N^2), divide and conquer O(N^1.585) and Fast Fourier Transform based multiplication which is O(N*Log2(N)). They showed statistics using these methods for multiplying 2 1,000,000 digit numbers and showed that the FFT method provided results in 40 seconds compared to the ordinary O(N^2) multiplication which was projected to be on the order of 23 days. It's an interesting read in any case.
caffeineaddict replied to Chuck300's topic in Engines and MiddlewareTo me it doesn't really sound like you want to actually write a game. Games are full of little details and hurdles, some can be big, some aren't. Figuring them all out is just a means to an end - a game. It really is important to have your goals clearly defined or you'll spend so much time going in circles and not really accomplishing anything useful no matter if your goal is a game only or a full featured engine. For some reason you seem to be of the opinion that starting with an existing engine solves all of your problems and there's not a whole lot left to do. This really isn't the case. If you start with an engine it's not going to be perfectly suited to your needs, there will likely be a fair amount of code involved to get to where you want to be, especially if you want to implement a separate physics engine (which isn't a trivial task). So again, I go back to the point that you really have to decide what it is that you want to do and what you want to get out of the experience. There are a lot of research areas that you can get into and do some "real" code that is still related to games if that might suit you better, or you could focus on a sub-section of game development (A.I. for example). Game development, especially in small teams, doesn't limit you to one thing, you pretty much have to do all of it.
caffeineaddict commented on EDI's blog entry in A Keyboard and the TruthLooks good!
caffeineaddict replied to Houdini_83's topic in For BeginnersI would also recommend Blender, despite its clunky UI. If you would prefer to see what a commercial, production quality environment you can get a Personal Learning Edition of Maya that lasts for I believe 30 days. I think it's basically fully featured and only adds a watermark to your renders. Worth a try just to see how it compares.
caffeineaddict replied to riruilo's topic in GDNet LoungeYou're after screencasting type software. Here's an article with various different programs. Hopefully you find one that works out for your needs. Also, if you're in Linux by chance, there's something called recordMyDesktop that's pretty simple. Good luck.
caffeineaddict replied to Crazyfool's topic in GDNet LoungeGenerally in most games I can think of when there is a settings change for the graphics there's a flicker and a little while where everything is reloaded, different resolution textures are unloaded and loaded etc. It seems like it would cause a lot of laggy glitching if it were done automatically and (presumably) in real-time, potentially ruining the game for a time. Or is this not what you were referring to? Seems like doing this would create a constantly moving target. Also possible is that one change on one system would not have the same impact on another system depending on the configuration? Just a thought.
caffeineaddict replied to Chuck300's topic in Engines and MiddlewareIt really depends on what you want to do and what you want to get out of it. Do you want to spend more time on making the framework to then build the game or do you just want to work on the game? Do you really have much more to offer that isn't already offered in a production engine? Writing things from scratch can certainly be a good exercise, and I wouldn't knock that experience, but in many instances that's all it really is, an exercise. If your main goal is to simply make a game, I'd go with an existing engine. First come up with a list of absolutely necessary features the engine must have. Following this, find an existing engine with comparable features. Weigh the pros and cons of developing all that technology for yourself. Existing engines come with the added benefit of having been tested and many bugs already being worked out so keep all that in mind. If you're just interested in making games, I'd say that 99% of the time it's more lucrative to use an existing technology base.
caffeineaddict replied to spek's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI don't know anything about Delphi's ability to develop for WM, but the express versions of Visual Studio do not allow you to. There is apparently a free route to develop for WM using several different tools together, Here's a link to an article explaining how to set it up. As for code examples for WM development there are tons on Microsoft's site.
caffeineaddict commented on johnhattan's blog entry in The Code Zone Bargain Basement BlogVery cool, John! Can't wait to get my copy, but they look great. I'm glad I'm in the orange one, it looks the coolest ;).
caffeineaddict commented on johnhattan's blog entry in The Code Zone Bargain Basement BlogThanks for the heads up on the Quizno's deal! Me and my family are always game for coupons and freebies and we all got a free sub out of the deal (along with the IHOP freebie a few days ago).

As a child, I remember being drawn to Coneflowers' showy, mostly purple flowers. My hands would pet their heads and glide across the petals. In high school, I worked in a plant nursery and noticed how little care they needed to thrive.
Catnip: It's Not Just for Cats
Catnip is not just for cats. It makes a nice tasty bedtime tea, and also has a number of healing properties. Catnip has a long history of use in Europe and North America.
Thyme for Health
The Romans used Thyme for melancholy, to purify rooms and as an ingredient in beer and many cheeses. During the medieval period in Europe, Thyme was also placed under pillows to support good sleep and ward off nightmares.
The Magic of Mugwort
Mugwort is also said to provoke prophetic dreams, and is ritualistically used for purification and for clearing and marking sacred space.
In the middle of the storm, water floods the streets, the creek beds, the basements of buildings, everywhere resisting containment.
The Burning Life
Suddenly you see so clearly how the world is filled, every single square inch of it, with tiny blossoms.
Burdock: More Than a Pesky Weed
The root is considered a vegetable in many countries, and is added to soups and other dishes. And even more than its use as a food, Burdock has a long history of use as a medicine.
Afternoon Meditation in Soon-To-Be-Trump's America
I thought of Trump sitting right next to me, having absolutely no clue how extraordinary it was to witness a hummingbird diving into a flower like that.
The New World
In 1905, a relatively unknown PhD candidate had a handful of scientific papers published in the Annals of Physics that forever changed our understanding of the world. Max Planck, who later would edit the journal, was among the first to recognize the genius of these papers.
I long for a society that reclaims the wasteful.

Other Worlds than This
The wind bellowed against the flapping doors in the small apartment. In her hand, she held the most precious Fire Lily, flaming and burning with a passion lost to the darkness. She cramped each finger around its stem, pulling it close to where her heart should be. What lay there now, was nothing but a glass chest. "I see this is where we stand." She leaned against the door way and looked up to the twinkling stars.
"I suppose it is Kasai."
"Then I suggest you leave." She brought the flower to her nose to smell what was left of the sweet nectar, but the salt of her tears washed it away.
"I will never leave you." Piandao removed his armor pads, placing them gently on the counter. His heart ached with each step he took towards her. "Kasai, you have to understand, all that I did, I did so that we could be together. The worrying needs to stop, I can keep you safe. I can keep you with me. We can finally have all that we dreamed of. Kasai, we can be together." He leaned in to kiss her neck, breathing in the faded jasmine. A small light lit the soft white complexion of her face. Piandao stepped back and watched as the ashes of the flower blew past him. Strings of fire chased his words into the floor.
"You broke it! You lied to me and you broke it!" the heat of the blasts brushed past his feet into the rug. Piandao wrapped his fingers around the cold familiar handle, throwing the blade of his sword down to the floor. Sparks of gold flared into every direction. "I have never lied to you in my entire life! Kasai, you don't want to do this. I know you."
"You don't know me!" Chains of scarlet surrounded the man as a long thin leg brushed the air. Hard flames licked his sides, burning through the scruffy uniform. "You know the woman I used to be!" The searing wounds scorched his skin. Piandao yelled out frantically grabbing at his skin. The wooden table broke into splinters as he crashed down in pain. A portrait of the two fell like snow, shattering into pieces.
Kasai smirked at the sight of the most helpless man she had ever seen. The snap of her wrists ignited two perfect orange daggers. The heat surged through her arms giving her more confidence than she had anticipated. She dropped one hip and placed her hands on her waist. "Look at you, you pathetic being. That sword won't keep you alive very long. Perhaps it is best that you leave people alone. You might one day just end up dead! Like the way you died in WAR!" She threw the blasts into ceiling and darted towards him slashing the air. Piandao grabbed one end of the dismantled table and reached out his other arm to stab the blade into a nearby flower pot. He lashed his arm forward releasing the flowers. Kasai launched a dagger at the obstacle, sending dirty porcelain flying behind, sharp edges scraping her face.
"I did what I had to do! Believe it was in our best interest! I don't want to hurt you!" He stared at her hoping for any kind of reaction to his words. The arms criss-crossing through the air showed no sign of hesitation. The dirt and blood smeared on her face gave her the appearance of one mentally sick. Not even so much as a blink was given in the hopes that she still cared. The woman he knew was gone. He rose to his feet and leaned against the handle of his sword. "Don't Kasai! This fight will create no justice. This is insane!" The fire dagger grew and swirled in her palms. She thrusted her arms forward sending a deadly comet down the room. Piandao shot up from his position and pulled the sword in front of his face. The ball made solid contact with the metal, knocking him back further against the wall. The blade turned searing rouge, sparking and smoking through the chill air. The woman jumped jabbing several fire balls at the man. Piandao twirled his bade in a propeller motion, creating a shining disk of reds and oranges. The balls sputtered and flew with each strike it made on the blade. The heat from the fire burnt his face with such great intensity that he closed his eyes.
"What foolishness! Closing your eyes during a battle. I always thought direct eye contact was part of having manners," Kasai made circular motions with her toe, the flames swirled into tiny balls that rested against her shoe. Piandao held two fingers to the side and his sword out to the other. He faced his head towards the ground and listened as the fire blazed. "but I guess you not have any!" She kicked every ball against the floor, speeding for the young swords master. With each ball that reached to him, he swiftly maneuvered in circle like motions. Stepping around each one that brushed by his ankles. The smell of burning carpet stung his nose with every breath he took. He opened his eyes to meet a furious mad woman. "Why won't you stay in one place?" She snapped her arms back and created two flaming mad daggers.
He stopped beside the dismantled table and picked up the broken picture near his foot. No fire she could bend would ever compare to watching his love self-destruct. Emotion overcame his logical thinking as a tear slipped onto the paper. "I love you."
Kasai slammed the daggers into the portrait, choking on her own heart. "How dare you say those words! You don't know what love is!!!" The fear, heartache, and anger she had bottled up for so many years busted through her fragile exterior. Fountains of rage flowed from her hands setting the walls ablaze. The flames crawled, mixing with the cold outside. Her eyes glistened through the tears as the light flickered behind her shadow. Piandao dropped the picture, watching it burn. First the bodies, the faces, until only a lip glossed smile of the woman remained. He observed his surroundings desperate to find anything of use. The sword drew back and into the air preparing to defend its master for what was to come. Kasai screamed furiously and bolted towards him. Heat from the mad blasts sprinted by his face, burning the hairs that dared to stick out. Piandao quickly grabbed the chair beside him and set it down in front. He kicked and watched as the room flipped upside down, the rotating figures of fire and ceiling. His feet planted firmly on the floor. The chair spiraled, hurdling for the woman. She threw her arms up to the ceiling and let the chair pass though thick flames. A scorching blade broke through her wall of fire and into her midsection, disappearing into the dark. Drops of crimson bled through her ruby white robes.
"Kasai, listen! You need to calm down! You're going to get yourself hurt!!!" Piandao screamed, tearing down heavy curtains. She grabbed her stomach, staring at the liquid that was dripping onto the floor. Piandao sprinted with the curtain wrapping her up like a spiderfly. "I need you to take a breath! I need you to look at what you're doing! I need you to come back to me!" The heavy cotton strangled her body. She smacked to the hard floor, her raven hair spilling out from under. The tears drenched into a puddle under her cheek.
"She...will never come back to you." The cloth exploded, long arms tearing at the threads. The room smoked and flickered as the burnt walls crumbled. The woman stood uneasily, smelling the air that suffocated her conscience. Dark blood dripped down her leg, and her soft hair flowed from the wind of the open walls. She took deep breaths. Fire surrounding the open ruins grew taller and brighter. Dust from the debris swirled around what was left of the apartment. With each steady inhale, the energy flowing through her veins intensified. Her body began to sway side to side, her soothing voice humming a sweet tune.
"That was the song I wrote for you, I remember on the last day we spent together. We had smoked sea slug, lied in the grass as we watched the clouds. You said one looked like a heart and I took your hand and told you we'd be together, no matter what happened. We were so happy. Don't you want to have that again?" She spun in circles, creating rings and ribbons of blue electricity. Her fingernails twisting and twirling the lightning, letting it dance around her. Sick, amber eyes lifted to meet the mournful grey ones staring at her twenty feet away.
"We will be happy." Her frail fingers flicked out. The night sky lit up, and the stars disappeared as white light swallowed the world. Piandao instinctively threw his sword in front of him. The strings of energy jolted through the metal, jumping from the blade to the man, and then back the opposite direction. Kasai marveled at the light, watching it inch its way back to her. Time stopped as she brushed some hair back behind her ear, allowing one curl to fall. Visions of emerald grass filled her thoughts. Blue skies bleeding truth. Her chest became extremely warm.
"Do you promise me that we'll be together? I want you to make me that one promise. Right here and now under the mid day sky, so that the spirits are watching."
"No matter what it takes, one day we will be together again. Even if it has to be in another world than this. I will love you, forever and always, that is my promise."
Piandao dropped to the ground and watched as his beloved slipped one last smile. The world turned black, and the only sound louder than the crackles of fire, was the sharp thud across the room.
Author's Notes
May I say this was interesting to write. I'm not very good with action, but when you're assigned an original firebender, and the mighty Piandao, how could you resist the sweet temptation of a tragic love story :P
