Associated Press Release
COCOA, Fla. (AP) -- A Cocoa couple has been charged after police said they found pipe bombs and a cache of weapons inside their central Florida home.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad evacuated neighbors from a dozen nearby homes as they searched the couple's two-story apartment Friday. Authorities found two pipe bombs along with rifles, handguns and shotguns. Two elementary schools were also put on lockdown as a precaution.
Florida Today reports 31-year-old Clarice Marie Radcliff and 37-year-old Bryan Mark O'Halloran were charged with possession of an explosive device.
Authorities received an anonymous tip that guns and bomb making materials were inside the home. The couple allowed deputies to search inside.
Officials detonated the bombs after searching the home. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also assisting with the investigation.

Last weekend, Ken, Douglas, Rebecca and I went up to Burlington for a photo shoot of our new furniture lines. It's hard to believe how much planning goes into these shoots!
We were lucky to have the expertise of set-designer Erica Ell and photographer John Goodman on board. They worked for a couple months tending to planning and lighting and propping and such. When on site, they directed our crew which included the four of us from Vermont Woods Studios plus a half dozen or more furniture makers.
It was a ton of work and expense but we're happy with the photos. Can't wait to show them to you. Visit our homepage– the photos should be up within a week or so and new product pages will soon appear in our Modern American Furniture Collection, Contemporary Craftsman Furniture Collection and Modern Shaker Furniture Collection. Many thanks to Erica, John and all the furniture makers who helped!

(UPDATED WITH VIDEO, March 27) LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — Members of the Fresno-based California Grape & Tree Fruit League received some reassuring news during their 77th annual meeting March 25.
"This league is as healthy financially as it has ever been," said secretary-treasurer Louis Pandol, corporate secretary and chairman of the Board of Pandol Bros. Inc., Delano.
The state's table grape industry moved more than 100 million boxes of grapes for the first time last year and at higher f.o.b. levels, said president Barry Bedwell.
About 240 people attended the gathering at the Montage Laguna Beach resort.
A workshop before the meeting featured five industry experts commenting on the topic "What Keeps You Awake at Night?"
Brian Leahy, director of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, said that although agriculture usually comes to mind when talk turns to excessive pesticide use, consumers and non professionals "have really done a lot of damage."
Still, pesticide education "has made remarkable changes for the better."
Richard Schmidt, president and chief executive officer of the United Agribusiness League, told members that agriculture employers could be hard hit by the Affordable Care Act, which, he said, "is anything but affordable."
He encouraged members to attend seminars and learn more about the legislation, which he said will have a "dramatic impact on the economy."
Sylvia Torres-Guillen assured members that her goal as general counsel of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board is to "achieve peace and justice" through collaboration.
"We really need to understand each other," she said.
Charlie Hoppin, outgoing chairman of California's State Water Resources Control Board — and the first grower to serve on that board — said nitrate seeping into groundwater in parts of California's Central Valley is one of the biggest issues on the water-quality front.
All parties must work together to ensure quality drinking water in the state, he said.
Panel moderator George Soares, founding member and managing partner of Kahn, Soares & Conway LLP, Sacramento, said agriculture is "trying to make a difference."
"We are aggressively engaged" in establishing relationships with government entities and making the industry's voice heard in Sacramento, he said.
Chairman Ryan Zaninovich, manager at Vincent B. Zaninovich & Sons Inc., Delano, said the league accomplished a lot over the past year, including:
- Forming committees to help take up some of the slack following the demise of the California Tree Fruit Agreement;
- Helping persuade the governor to veto a heat-standards bill that the industry believes would be unfair to agriculture;
- Arranging educational farm tours for legislators; and
- Contributing $40,000 to successfully target two state races in the November election.
Besides Zaninovich and Pandol, officers for the 2013-14 fiscal year are David Jackson of Family Tree Farms, Reedley, first vice chair; and Harold McClarty, owner of HMC Farms, Kingsburg, second vice chair.
New members of the board of directors are:
- Bo Brett, Mountain View Fruit Sales, Reedley;
- Mike Jackson, Kingsburg Orchards, Kingsburg;
- Blair Richardson, Rivermaid Trading Co./WesPak Inc., Dinuba;
- Matt Surber, M. Caratan Inc., Delano; and
- Russ Tavlan, Moonlight Cos., Reedley.
The league honored Herbert Kaprielian, owner of Reedley-based CRJ Farming Co. LP, with a lifetime achievement award. The award only has been presented once before — to Sarkis Sarabian of Sarabian Farms, Sanger, Calif.

Hello all, greetings from Iceland!
I think this question needs a little bit of a background, but I'm wondering if this is random or a part of the paperback release:
I bought my copy of Haunted in 2008 from a bookstore in downtown Reykjavik and read it that fall. Great book, one of my favorites in fact so I just picked it up again.
Now, my first surprise was turning off the lights and after 2 years of owning the book being freaked out when I found out the cover glows in the dark. The following night when I picked it up again, still laughing to myself about being so surprised I went through the first few pages, after the blurbs and reviews I had skipped in the first read and noticed "All stories are ghosts". The white ink in black had kinda etched into the black page in front of it so I started wondering if the ink was also glow in the dark. So, when I put it up to the light I noticed some shadows in the paper of the right hand page which led me to the opposing page who had raised lines so I flipped the page and discovered that the title page was signed "Chuck Palahniuk"! Now, I couldn't believe it, thought it was just a print or a stamp, but the pressure of the pen is embedded 2-3 pages down, and there's a little bleed into the paper and a little smudge onto the opposing page from the signature. So, all things considered I'd say a nice felt tip pen was at work here!
I've been googling around, and the Amazon preview doesn't have a signature there.
So, picking up a signed copy from the shelf of a bookstore in Iceland is pretty random, right?

The Seaside City Council on Thursday will consider opening the planning window wider for the Monterey Downs project.
The council will be asked to approve an 18-month extension on exclusive negotiating rights with Monterey Downs LLC, the developer of the proposed 550-acre project on Fort Ord that includes homes, two hotels, a horse racetrack and the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery site.
The project, which has become a lightning rod for two competing land-use initiatives being circulated, is being processed by Seaside though most part of the property is in Monterey County territory.
The developer entered into an exclusive negotiating deal with the city in September 2010 that would expire in June. City staff members are recommending extending the agreement until December 2014.
A council report also contains a new schedule for processing the project application and environmental impact report. The current schedule, according to the report:
· A draft-specific plan will be released by the end of May, and the developer says a complete tentative map application will be filed in June.
· The developer is slated to submit a fiscal and economic impact plan by the end of May, which the city will submit for peer review.
· A draft EIR will be released for public review in August and a final EIR should be ready by December.
· Hearings before the City Council on the project plan and EIR are forecast for early 2014. If the city approves the project, then Seaside would ask the Local Agency Formation Commission to annex the county territory.
So far, the report says the developer has paid $231,537 to the city to cover processing costs with about $69,000 more in costs that either haven't been billed or are not overdue.
On another development project, the council will consider approving an exclusive negotiating agreement with Seasons Management LLC, which wants to develop a senior living and care community on 3.5acres of city land at Light Fighter Drive and Gen. Jim Moore Boulevard.
The Oregon company laid out plans for the 100-bed center to the council in April. It would have 80 assisted-living units and 20 memory-care units.
The agreement is for a year with an eight-month extension, and the developer must deposit $25,000 to start reimbursing the city for project review costs.

New PPP polls in Arkansas, Georgia, and Tennessee find that even in dark red states there's strong, bipartisan support for expanded background checks. And as we've found elsewhere, voters are unhappy with their Senators who voted against them.
In Georgia there's 71/22 support for them, in Tennessee it's 67/26, and in Arkansas it's 60/31. Female voters that the Republican Party really needs to reach out to if it's going to be successful moving forward are even more supportive of background checks. They favor them 81/12 in Georgia, 73/21 in Tennessee, and 67/25 in Arkansas.
The support for stronger background check laws cuts across party lines in all three of these states. In Georgia Democrats favor them 82/10, independents do 67/27, and Republicans do 63/30. In Tennessee Democrats give them 88/8 support, independents favor them at a 61/29 clip, and Republicans do 53/38. And in Arkansas the numbers are 85/10 with Democrats, 48/43 with Republicans, and 45/43 with independents.
Mark Pryor's chances for reelection next year would be enhanced if he supported a background check bill when it comes back up in the Senate. 40% of voters say they would be more likely to cast their ballots for him next year if he reconsidered his position on this issue to just 34% who say they would be less likely to.
Voters meanwhile are angry with their Republican Senators who opposed the bill:

Scissors Sisters and Texas-based White Widow span a spectrum of styles
RICH LOPEZ | Staff Writer
4.5 out of 5 Stars
Night Work • Scissor Sisters
Downtown Music
It's hard to believe Night Work is only the third album from Scissor Sisters. They made an impression with their '70s throwback sounds on their eponymous 2004 debut, followed by 2006's Ta-Dah. Here, they make a stronger impression.
Sisters have worked with producer Stuart Price, and his synth-pop signature is all over the place. He's given them a crisp overhaul — the band shines under his light.
They keep their retro sound, but Price flushes it out with an '80s/early '90s dance vibe that is also simple. None of the songs are overly complex, but like the title opener, there is a vibrant energy.
Lead vocalist Jake Shears works his Barry Gibb falsetto masterfully in "Any Which Way," but will recall the robotic vocals of Gary Numan and Devo in "Running Out" and "The Harder You Get." Over the continual dance beats, the band makes a successful attempt at rekindling the new wave genre.
The Killers catch flak for their radio readiness, but when the Sisters mimic their sound in "Fire With Fire" and "Skin Tight," they achieve a nice freshness. (The sound shouldn't surprise — Price has worked with The Killers, too.)
The album's only weak moment is Ana Matronic's lead on "Skin this Cat." The song slows the pace a bit and overall is forgettable. Shears glows so much that I want to get back to his energetic singing against an up-tempo beat quick.
Night Work's lead single, "Invisible Light," is worthy of "song of the year" lists. The captivating six-minute saga boasts hypnotic verses and an explosion of an inspired chorus. Throw in an Ian McKellen monologue and it achieves greatness.
Night Work makes you wish for the ideal dance floor: A DJ playing only these 12 tracks.
3 out of 5 Stars
Black Heart • White Widow
Austin-based White Widow's album Black Heart is relaxed rock that grooves more than jams. The hollowness of it is so sexy it makes you want to take up smoking.
White Widow is Carla Patullo, who plays all the instruments, sings and produces. The out artist plays with confidence and there are pluses here. She asserts her singing with sublime smoothness in her cover of Stevie Nicks' "Lady From the Mountain." "In Your Life" is jarring because its acoustic touch differs from the tone and manages not to disappear into the overall fabric of the album.
But Black Heart also suffers by Patullo's unwillingness to amp it up. Her songs bubble with harder rock flavor but never combust. Even what should sound edgier isn't. The blues-tinted "Warriors" trails off into sleepy vocal runs missing the point of her own strong lyrics — we are/we are warriors.
White Widow did make a good album to get high to. Its ethereal attitude does call for some major down time. Ultimately though, Black Heart is one-note even with its bewitching quality.

Past Olympic road race champion and grand tour podium finisher Samuel Sánchez will immediately join the BMC Racing Team, President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz announced Sunday.
Brings A Wealth Of Experience
The 35-year-old Spaniard won the 2008 Olympic road race champion in Beijing and owns podium finishes at the Vuelta a España (second in 2009) and the Tour de France (third in 2010). At the 2011 Tour de France, he joined overall winner Cadel Evans on the final podium in Paris as champion of the king of the mountains classification. "Sammy will add a high degree of skill and experience to the BMC Racing Team," Ochowicz said. "He can cover all the bases, but in particular, we look forward to having him support his new teammates in the Ardennes classics and at the grand tours." Sánchez has competed in 14 grand tours (finishing 11) and owns stage wins at the Tour and the Vuelta. He has a history of success racing in his home country, winning Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco in 2012, GP Miguel Indurain in 2011, Vuelta A Burgos in 2010, and two stages of Volta a Catalunya (2007, 2012).
Thankful For The Opportunity
Since turning professional in 2000, Sánchez had raced with the Euskaltel-Euskadi team, which ceased operations at the end of the 2013 season. "I feel like a rider who has just earned his first contract," an exuberant Sánchez said. "I want to thank the entire BMC Racing Team, especially Andy Rihs and Jim Ochowicz, for welcoming me into one of the most prominent teams of the WorldTour. It is my hope that I can share my experience with the younger riders on the team. And after riding so many years to beat Cadel Evans, it will be good to help him since he is a rider I know very well." Sánchez's performances at the classics include runner-up finishes at Flèche Wallonne (2006) and Il Lombardia (2006, 2009 and 2012). Ochowicz said specific terms of Sánchez's contract are not being made public.

While the search for healthy, so-called all natural food products is seemingly at an all-time high, finding your favorite foods labeled in such a way will become more of a scarcity as a growing number of food and drink companies make changes to their packaging.
Amid lawsuits challenging the "naturalness" of everything from drinks to ice cream to cereal, one of the most overused terms in food packaging today is slowing disappearing from many food product labels. For example, those "natural" Goldfish will simply be "Goldfish."
While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not formally define what "natural" means, the agency considers "natural'" to mean that "nothing artificial or synthetic (including all color additives regardless of source) has been included in, or has been added to, a food that would not normally be expected to be in the food."
The FDA's website states, "From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is 'natural' because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth. That said, the FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives. However, the agency has not objected to the use of the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances."
According to Nielsen, food labeled "natural" raked in more than $40 billion in U.S. retail sales over the past 12 months. "That is second only to food claiming to be low in fat," The Wall Street Journal reported.
As Congress considers a "food labeling modernization" bill, lawsuits claiming false advertising are starting to accumulate, with at "least 100 lawsuits been filed in the past two years challenging the natural claims of Unilever, PLC's Ben & Jerry's, Kellogg Co., Kashi, Beam Inc.'s Skinnygirl alcohol drinks and dozens of other brands," the Journal said—some resulting in multi-million dollar settlements, while other cases have been thrown out.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that the FDA lacks clarity as to how exactly "natural" is defined. For now, many food companies are tossing out the natural label to skirt the issue, Lori Leskin, a lawyer at Kaye Scholer and co-head of the American Bar Association's Products Liability Committee, told the Journal.
As Leskin summarized, "Companies are tending to pull back from the natural label because it isn't worth it right now."

Montero harbors no ill will toward Bauer
CLEVELAND -- D-backs catcher Miguel Montero had his on-field issues with Trevor Bauer when the pair were teammates, but that's water under the bridge to Montero now. Bauer, who was a 21-year-old rookie with Arizona in 2012, has since been traded to the Indians and is starting on Wednesday.
Montero doesn't harbor any hard feelings against his former teammate.
"Obviously, I wish him the best after tomorrow," Montero said before Tuesday's opener vs. the Tribe.
Bauer was 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA in his only season with Arizona before being traded in December 2012. As Bauer's teammate at the time, Montero wanted him to succeed, but the two couldn't figure out a way to communicate.
"For some reason, I feel like he just felt like everybody was against him. That wasn't the point, we were on his team, we wanted him to be good for our team," Montero said. "He felt probably like I wasn't calling the right game for him, which probably was the case because I'm not always pointing the right fingers, but that's when the communication comes into play."
Montero understands there has to be a balance to working with young pitchers. And as long as the two sides are communicating, Montero wants pitchers to be assertive in what they want to throw.
"Sometimes it kind of bothers me, because they throw everything that I put down," Montero said. "I'm not always going to have the right answer; sometimes I just don't call the right pitch. Sometimes I like them to be confident in what they want to do."
"That kind of wasn't the case with Bauer. I feel like I was fighting with myself to put the right fingers [down] for him. It was a little tough, but it's already in the past."

In an effort to clean up the Pacers board, I've begun cracking down on random replies posted on that board. For the time being, they're going to get sent to this thread, where if you want to further those replies, that's fine.
The two above were posted before this thread was written, so they're above this post.
Sounds like Will won.

Skaut makes an interesting observation about JO's "false bravado" leadership... nothing new there, but its an interesting twist on it with a bold, and admittedly unpopular prediction.
By the way, Skaut, I've got something for you:
Welcome to the club.
Then he makes an excellent point, agreed to by many others in the thread, that there is a time and place for posturing and Game #1 against a not-very-good Orlando team is not the time nor place for it.
Now I don't agree with him at all regarding Mutombo, and I've stated before that I think Mutombu is an outright disgrace to sportsmanship and I think its a real Trav-Sham-Mockery that he's ever been awarded a "good citizen" award.
But really, Skaut's post was certainly not unreadable, although you guys have backed off that accusation.
And it wasn't really asinine (Websters, "utterly stupid"), either. You don't agree with the conclusion he's already drawn, and that's what makes the forum go-round. On the other hand, we've been showing a tendency as a forum lately to confuse well-grounded opinions we happen to disagree with as stupidity.
I don't mean to pick on you, Soup, so hopefully this doesn't sound too personal, because its also based somewhat on Jermaniac's rant last night, but goodness gracious sakes alive, if you want a place where everyone is going to agree with you, startup a blog. This isn't "Sunshine Digest" and its not "Dark Side Digest". Its Pacers Digest and we've got Pacers fans from all points on the spectrum.
And after all that, let me just say that I loved the game David Harrison played last night. He needs more minutes.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

I used to blog weekly on here a couple months ago critiquing Raw. What I found out was that I was starting to hate the product because I would critique every little thing. So I just stopped blogging altogether. But I ended up missing it so that's why I'm back. And who knows, maybe I'll revive my Raw Hits and Misses Blog, but for now I chose to jump back into it with something simple like predicting
Welcome to another installment of my sporadic Top 5 blog. In this edition I will list my top 5 surrogates for Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania 30. As many of you may know, the rumored/likely main event for next years event will be a heel Triple H vs. A face surrogate for a face Vince McMahon for complete control (on screen wise) of WWE. Now, I won't be making a prediction of who'll win, I'm just ranking
Updated 09-20-2013 at 12:02 AM by Anthony_Eckman
Overall: 6
Overview: This weeks Raw was Eh on a scale from whatever to okay. Usually, a Raw like this would be good, but after the past three post PPV Raws, this one fell stale. Again, the only story that got pushed was Triple H's power hungry ego one but they did a nice job doing it.
Opening Segment: Well, everybody saw this coming.
Welcome to the first ever edition of the WWE Outside the Box blog series with Anthony_Eckman and mr. onemanband. Think PTI, only with hair.
We are very excited about this and hope you guys will enjoy it.
Now this blog is going to be set up like this, each blog OMB and Anthony will each select two ideas for the blog that isn't what most people would blog on instead of
Another month and another WWE PPV comes. The card looks okay, but only two feuds have gotten significant time on Monday nights. Unlike other mid card matches that do get time. With a tag title match that got thrown together last minute and a US Title match that I totally forgot was here, this seems like it might be one of the worst PPV's of 2013 so far. Anyway, let's get right to the predictions.
Overall Score: 4
Overview: Originally I wasn't going to post this blog because Raw was just bad, but I do it every week so what the hell. This week was just bland and forgettable. No feuds got advanced except for Bryan-Orton and it did nothing to sell me on Night of Champions. With this being the first Raw to go head to head against Monday Night Football, it isn't a surprise
Overall Score: 5.5
This weeks Raw wasn't bad, but it was no means great. I'd say maybe just average. The only storyline that got any attention was the new corporation. Heyman was barely shown on TV and Punk just gave a generic 'I'm pissed off' speech. The World Title feud wasn't properly handled this week, and no mid card titles got attention. With that said, let's
Overall Score: 7.5
After another stellar Raw following a PPV last week the comedown show came upon us. Although it was a comedown, this week's Raw was pretty good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. The continuation of the development for the two big rivalries were well done, and two minor storylines were born.
Welcome to another edition of My Top 5. After a couple of weeks of thinking about what I should blog on, I came up with missed opportunities. Now, as some of you should know I have only been watching WWE since 2005 so I'm sorry if that makes any inconveniences. This blog is strictly opinionated but I would live to hear your's. Now, let's get right into it.
#5 - Ryback
Overall Score: 9
What a difference a day makes. Last week, everybody, myself included, didn't care for the McMahon Storyline. Well, I do now. I know there's still 8 months to go until Wrestlemania so the story will cool down, but for right now it's in full stride and I love it. With that being said let's jump straight into the hits and misses.

Assemblyman Curt Hagman plans to introduce a bill that would create a new group subclassification and pay levels for final cleanup workers on public works projects.
There is already a classification for final cleanup and janitorial work the northern region of California, with the prevailing wage being about $12 an hour.
There is no janitorial work or final cleanup classification on construction sites in the southern region, where the prevailing rate is about $45 an hour.
The prevailing wage is the basic hourly rate paid on public works projects -- such as schools, police stations and other government buildings -- to workers engaged in a particular craft, classification or type of work, according to the state Department of Industrial Relations website.
"I don't mind prevailing wage, as long as it's the right job with the right category," said Hagman, R-Chino Hills.
"These are public dollars, and we want people to make a decent wage that is competitive. But the way it is now, it's being taking advantage of because of the classification of the work."
Final cleanup on public work construction projects is done within a week of occupancy. The work includes power washing surfaces, sweeping and mopping floors, wiping down fixtures and surfaces, cleaning interior and exterior glass, window and mirrored surfaces, hosing down the roof, building and site areas and cleaning all completed interior and exterior building surfaces that are visible after final construction, according to Hagman's proposed bill.
"Because the southern region doesn't have a separate classification for final cleanup laborers, government projects will cost more to be done because we're paying people for things that they're not doing...," said Mike Spence, spokesman for Hagman.
Hagman's bill, which is still in draft form, would require the state director of the Department of Industrial Relations to establish a new specific group classification for final cleanup laborers and set prevailing wages accordingly.
"This will affect school construction or any government construction project, whereas if you were to bid it as a business you would get a much lower rate," Spence said.
"But because of the prevailing wage, tax dollars are being artificially inflated to pay for things that the private sector doesn't pay for."
Hagman said some companies pay employees to perform the final cleanup or janitorial work at $12 an hour or a lower wage, then pocket the difference.
"On the books it looks like everyone is making a ton of money, but the actual worker is not getting the benefits they should receive," he said.
A fair wage and classification for final cleanup work is all Kassandra Wade of Koll Janitorial of West Covina is asking for.
"It's not right, I'm just trying to make a living. I'm a a small business owner and all we do is cleaning, dusting and vacuuming and we keep running into these problems," said Wade, Koll's director of operations.
Wade doesn't agree with paying $45 an hour to perform any type of janitorial work. She suggests up to $15 an hour.
Moreover, she said, if any janitorial company is caught accepting less than what is mandated they are fined, immediately taken off that job and forced to pay the next company who does finish the job the whole prevailing wage rate.
"All we want to do is make a living, be safe doing it and not be in fear of being sued or a contractor coming back on us and acting surprised," Wade said.
The earliest Hagman's bill can be introduced into the Assembly will be Monday when the Legislature resumes session.

Suppose I have code Dx9 and VC++ 2005:
m_pD3DDevice->DrawIndexedPrimitive( D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST,
0, //BaseVertexIndex
pAttr[k].VertexStart, //MinIndex
pAttr[k].VertexCount, //NumVertices
pAttr[k].FaceStart*3, //StartIndex
pAttr[k].FaceCount ); //NumPrimitives
I don`t figure out what is VertexStart and VertexCount. For example I have:
Face number
3 Vert in IndxBuff
What is VertexStart? This is vert 40 from face 0 or min vert indx 20 which is in face 0 and face 1? That is VertexStart is min index of vert in index buffer or first index vert in indx buffer?
Furthemore what is VertexCount? This is value 12, that is we have 4 face by 3 vert each = 12. Or this value = 10 because vert 20 repeat twice in face 0 and face 1 and vert 24 repeat twice in face 0 and face3 ?
And how I understand FaceStart = 40 and FaceCount = 4.
Thanks in advance.
VertexStart = min(index), VertexCount = max(index) - min(index) + 1.
Or you can simply set (dunno about performance though):
VertexStart = 0, VertexCount = VertexTotal.
Nothing understand... Sorry.
Okay, say you have a mass of vertices in memory.
You have loaded in a 3d mesh that has 1000 vertices.
The first 100 you want to texture with a red texture. The next 400 you want to texture with a blue texture The last 500 you want to texture with a white texture.
You could sort each vertex by texture and store them in separate vertex buffers, but more commonly you store them in a single vertex buffer.
So when you want to render this object you need a mechanism to render the vertex buffer bit by bit.
bind red texture
render red triangles
bind blue texture
render blue triangles
bind white texture
render white polygons
To allow you to do things like this, all rendering libraries allow you to specify a start index and length with the rendering calls.
They normally also allow for combining meshes into a single vertex buffer for performance, so if you had a single triangle it's indices would obviously be 0,1,2 but if you had already added 100 verts to the buffer you need them to be 100,101,102.
That's all it is, it allows you to lump stuff together so you are not constantly sending vertex buffers across the bus into the graphics card

Souths' extra BurgessAdrian Proszenko
Published: February 3 2013 - 3:00AM
THERE is yet another Burgess boy at South Sydney. And he's also a forward.
Souths could well have five players with the famous footballing surname playing in the NRL one day after signing up teenage star Sam Gerrey-Burgess.
But unlike Sam, Luke, George and Tom, the latest acquisition isn't part of the clan.
''It's a coincidence actually. You've got Sam Gerrey-Burgess and the Burgess brothers,'' Gerrey-Burgess said. ''A lot of people give me looks when they find out my name, but there's no relation.''
Not that it's stopped namesake and Great Britain international Sam from playing on the name.
''We have a bit of a joke when I see him,'' Gerrey-Burgess said. ''He's seen my name a few times on papers in the gym and he scribbles it out. He jokes and says, 'I am the real Sam Burgess'. It's all good fun.''
The latest Burgess, 18, made his mark playing rugby at St Ignatius College, Riverview, where the Maroubra product caught the attention of talent spotters from the rival code.
''Luckily for me a few Souths scouts were at the game against King's and asked me and my mate to come up and trial with them,'' he said. ''I've stayed with them since and chosen league over union. In union I was playing centre but in league I've made the switch into the middle, anywhere in the forward pack. I've got much more respect for the [forwards] than I did before.''
He earned a Souths contract and will push for a spot in their National Youth Competition side.
Gerrey-Burgess, 106kg and 188cm, is likely to defer a commerce degree at Sydney University. The son of an Aboriginal father and Fijian mother has a traineeship in the National Australia Bank's financial marketing department.

They take 3 hours to look at my blackberry and they look at they claim it is fixed, for me to find out right away they never even checked out the problem.
Then I have to drive a hour and a half in traffic to get a new BB, only to find out they dont know to to activate it and then they cant transfer my phone book over, so I have to write all my numbers down by hand.
To top it all off I think this (getting a new phone yesterday) restarts my 2 year period before I can upgrade a new phone.
I swear it seems like Sprint just hires the bottom of the barrel for everything they do.

From a recent Time magazine "Milestones" section: "Died, Yusai Sakai, 87, one of only three Buddhist monks since 1571 to twice complete the rigorous Sennichi Kaiho Gyo, a seven-year ordeal of fasting and running. Those unable to complete it are expected to take their own life."
The report of Sakai's actual demise aside, I thought his obituary was hilarious because here's what the Kaiho Gyo is: In each of the first three years, for 100 consecutive days, you rise at midnight to pray and then run an 18-mile trail that circumambulates a sacred mountain. In years four and five, you increase the run days to 200. In year five, you include a nine-day period in which you continuously chant a single mantra without food, water or sleep. In year six, you walk 37.5 miles for 100 consecutive days, and in year seven, you walk 52.5 miles for 100 days, then 18 miles for another 100 days.
If you make it through the first 100 days, you're obligated to finish – if you don't, you're traditionally expected to commit suicide by either hanging or disembowelment.
That's what I call a real do-or-die situation. Plus, it sounds like a quintessentially Japanese proposition: First, design an impossible task; second, set expectations high, starting with "near perfect" as the goal; third, attach the stigma of shame to any failure; and finally, make death the only option to success. It's classic.
I didn't grow up under any penalties of death, mind you, but there was definitely a seriousness of purpose in all our family endeavors. From cleaning floors to trips to Disneyland, everything had to be executed properly and well. And nothing is made too easy. At family parties, the food is often spare in seasonings so that you can't drown mistakes in sauces or mask errant flavors with a lot of herbs. Alcohol isn't served, so you also can't jolly up the crowd or dull any senses with liquor before the main dishes appear. (I've always thought my Acosta relations – who are never without their vino under any circumstances – are generally an easier crowd to please, because parties are typically deemed successful the minute corks start popping.)
Post-event scrutiny avails all sorts of lessons to be learned: Was the house spotless, the meal attractively displayed and delicious? Did the guests enjoy themselves? Did we make it all look effortless? Plus, in my mother's kitchen, attitude counts. If you prepare any dish while grousing, even silently in your own head, about having to do it, then the food is wrecked before it's even served, which then begs the question: Do you need to fix yourself before you fix another meal?
I wouldn't be surprised if Sakai pondered the same thing himself in one form or another. The ultimate purpose of the 24,850-mile Kaiho Gyo is enlightenment. In addition to the mental and physical challenges, Sakai trained in meditation and calligraphy and performed menial temple chores. He finished his first Kaiho Gyo (starting in 1973) in 1980, took a half-year break and finished his second go-around in 1987 at age 60.
Talk about being thoroughly committed. Now that's what I call Japanese.

Tooting & Mitcham boss Roberto Forzoni has highlighted a problem in his young team after a bittersweet weekend began with FA Cup success but ended with league frustration.
The average age of the Terrors squad is about 21 and Forzoni says when his players come up against experienced campaigners they can be found wanting.
Against an equally young Crawley Down side, the Terrors ran out convincing 3-1 winners on Saturday to reach the first qualifying round of the FA Cup.
However, on Monday a stronger Faversham Town outfit took all three points from Imperial Fields after a 2-1 win in the Ryman League Division One South.
Forzoni said: "We need to learn how to cope with the quality that experience brings.
"If we don't we may end up in the bottom half of the table come the end of the season.
"We've won our two away games but lost our two home games.
"I don't know if I can read anything into that at this early stage but it could be that the lads are nervous in front of a larger home crowd – that is something we need to work on and experience will help."
The Terrors will face Leatherhead in the next round of the FA Cup on September 8 after two goals from Lee Hall and a Solomon Karl Pinnock strike saw off Crawley Down. Hall was on the scoresheet again in the 2-1 defeat to Faversham.
Forzoni said: "We knew we had a chance against Crawley because they are a young side.
"We played well and could have scored more goals.
"Then to lose to Faversham was disappointing. We struggled with their route one style of play and their big strikers bullied us off the pitch. We need to come to terms with teams' physical ways and not be out muscled any more."
The Terrors travel to Horsham on Saturday.

Cantieri di Pisa's Kaitos 76— By Richard Thiel—
February 2004
Talk of the Show
|An unusual interior and extraordinary performance made the Kaitos 76 the hit of the Cannes Boat Show.
At every boat show there's one boat that causes a stir above all others. She may not necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, but she creates a palpable buzz and makes people talk. At last September's Cannes Boat Show, that boat was the Kaitos 76 from the Italian yard Cantieri di Pisa, known for its stylish, finely finished Akhir line of motoryachts. But the Kaitos, an Arabic name for a constellation, is no motoryacht. She's a big, open express—a runabout on steroids—with a reported top speed of 55 knots. That alone probably would have made her the talk of the show, but she also was rumored to have an unusual, ingenious interior.
I made an appointment to tour her on the show's preview day, before all the beautiful people got aboard. Due to her locked-in location, however, I was unable to do a sea trial, so I arranged for our European editor, Alan Harper, to get aboard the 76 later. (See "A Matter of Degrees," this story.)
As I approached the 76 on a bright fall morning, I wasn't exactly blown away by her.
Don't get me wrong: As you can see, she's beautiful. But her outward appearance isn't really unusual. This is your typical European play boat, on which the lucky owner gets to zip from utterly beautiful, painfully quaint Mediterranean port to utterly beautiful, painfully quaint Mediterranean port, while sipping champagne in a large, sun-washed, teak-sole cockpit, complete with dining table and expansive sunpad for the attendant nymphets. For stops along the way, he can avail himself of the tender (here a Nautica RIB with Yamaha 80) hidden beneath the sunpad in the requisite garage for a quick jaunt into town.
It's all well done on the Kaitos, including an efficient helm complete with networked Furuno electronics and three four-way-adjustable Besenzoni pedestal seats that provide plenty of comfort and good sightlines at rest. Whether you drive, sunbathe, or sip Moet up here, there's a surfeit of sun for everyone. A bimini top is available, but it's warranted to only 30 knots. If your inclination is to more speed and fewer rays, a closed-bridge version is available. Either way, it's no sweat for those at the helm, as air conditioning here is standard.
Next page > Part 2: Despite her playboy nature, the 76 also boasts impressive engineering. > Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

I'm playing live tonight at Tresor. It's one of the more well known clubs in Berlin. On stage tonight I will be keeping a secret from the audience. Don't tell anyone ok? The secret is I will have a cheat sheet with on it lyrics in front of me. In fact, I will play a song tonight where as I sit here right now typing this I can't even remember the opening line! My lyric cheat sheet won't be on a Textedit or Word document. It's built right into Ableton Live. Remember when you first opened Live there are those Lessons that pop up on the right part of the interface? If you forgot about them and want to see them again just open Live and under the View menu choose Lessons. See them now? Let's hack these Lessons and get our own text in there. Here's how to do it:
Create and save a Project (song) in which you would like to have some of your own text in the Lesson area. Next, find the Project folder that was created when you saved your song. Inside that folder create a new folder with the exact same name as your Project followed by the word "Lessons". Inside this folder create a plain text document and name it LessonsEN.txt
I use TextWrangler (free!) but you can use the plain old Mac TextEdit too. Type your lyrics or whatever reminders and notes you need. You can create separate pages by using the following syntax:
$Page Name of Song
If you add a: / before text it makes the text italic and bold. I like to make most of my text like this because it's easier to read. Save the LessonsEN.txt and open Ableton and your Project to see your lyrics. Click on the screenshots in this post to view them larger.

A Don Buchla documentary is in the works and soon there will be a Kickstarter to help fund the project. I've been really enjoying my Make Noise modules which have parts inspired by Buchla design. Recently Buchla, the company went through some changes and we may see some lower cost Buchla products. Another random Buchla thought is that the Buchla Skylab is in my top 5 most beautiful synths of all time. I'm looking forward to seeing this film and learning more about Don.
"A promotional video for a film we're trying to make about Don Buchla. We're going to be Kickstarting this film within a month or two.

IN JUNE'S "top two" primary, we recommended San Rafael Councilman Marc Levine in the race for Marin's seat in the Assembly. Levine definitely was one of the top-two candidates in that field of hopefuls vying for the seat left open by Assemblyman Jared Huffman's retirement because of term limits.
We expressed concern about whether Levine had demonstrated the leadership capabilities needed to be an effective legislator in Sacramento. Five months later, we have the same concern. He has not demonstrated on the local level that he's prepared for Sacramento.
The dilemma for voters is that Levine, to his credit, showed political fortitude in taking on Assemblyman Michael Allen, who moved to San Rafael last fall when his Sonoma-Napa district was drawn out of existence by redistricting.
Allen's relocation also came with calls to local politicians from Assembly Speaker John Perez, urging them not to challenge Allen's run for Huffman's seat. Allen is one of Perez's chief lieutenants.
Many local leaders much better qualified than Allen or Levine flinched and cleared the field for Allen, whose ethics violations don't enhance his own candidacy.
Voters experienced the political firepower well-financed Sacramento forces can unleash in the tens of thousands of dollars spent by rogue political action committees that tried to carpet-bomb Levine. Still, Marin voters narrowly made Levine their top pick in June's seven-candidate field.
While Allen says he favors open and transparent campaigns, he did little to thwart or repudiate these attacks. It would have been nice to hear a politician stand up for positive campaigning and open politics.
Allen failed that test.
To be fair, Levine remained silent in 2009 when one of his backers launched an unfair rogue attack on one of his opponents.
Unfortunately, that's the choice in this election.
Voters should not be surprised to see their mailboxes filled with attack mailers again during this election. Most of them are from out-of-county, big-money interests who are trying to influence local voters.
By law, the candidates don't control these mailers. But their silence encourages such smear tactics.
We would like to be more enthusiastic about our recommendation. We would like to say that one, or both of the candidates, have the local experience and knowledge, the home-grown respect and political know-how to be an effective leader here and in Sacramento.
Levine isn't ready. He may be in two years, but not today. That leaves Allen, who has the political connections to deliver on Marin issues, but we're wary of his political loyalty to powerful interests, as reflected during June's campaign.
Voting for Levine sends a message to Sacramento, but it also elects a representative who hasn't demonstrated — when compared with such predecessors as Kerry Mazzoni, Joe Nation and Huffman — that's he won't be a backbencher. Allen, a labor leader and former legislative aide, definitely knows his way around Sacramento. Huffman and Nation have endorsed Allen.
Allen helped write the state public pension reforms signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. Those reforms set the stage for more cost-saving changes, Allen says. We will hold him to that. While Levine has criticized Allen for not delivering more in a Legislature of 120 members, Levine wasn't able to persuade four other members of the San Rafael City Council to endorse Gov. Brown's 12-point reform plan.
Allen still has to prove himself to Marin voters if he hopes to win re-election in 2014. He can do that by doing more to get to know Marin, its people and its issues and be the county's advocate. He needs to reflect Marin priorities in Sacramento.
He has the political position to deliver. He has the experience to know that to stay in office he can't serve Marin by remote control from Sacramento.
Neither candidate is a crystal-clear best choice, but the IJ recommends Michael Allen in the Nov. 6 races for Marin's seat in the state Assembly.

I played a fun round with a friend of mine today and he threw his disc into the woods. It came to rest just in front of a few loose pieces of wood (these typical 1m long and 3-5cm thick ones...). He asked if he was allowed to put that stuff away or not? I assumingly didn't know so I let him pu t it away....
Now coming home, I thought this might be in the rule book and I tried to find it and well...if i had found it i wouldnt ask. So are you allowed to put loose stuff away like in ball golf?

Bangkok has come a long way since the 18th century, when it was just a small village on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Today it's a vibrant metropolis that's home to more than eight million people, and is one of the most visited cities in the world. Fly to Bangkok with Qatar Airways to discover Thailand's spiritual, economic and cultural capital, a sensory-rich city where centuries-old Buddhist temples coexist alongside sprawling high-rises.
Whether you're looking for ancient temples, bustling markets, lively nightlife or absolute luxury, you'll find the Bangkok that suits you. Which is just as well, as it would be impossible to discover everything that such a large and diverse capital has to offer during a single trip to Bangkok.
Many of the city's best known sights can be found in the historic centre within the Rattanakosin district. The most spectacular is the Grand Palace, which was once home to the King of Thailand and today offers visitors a rich mixture of history and architectural splendour.
Within the palace grounds you'll also discover Thailand's holiest temple, Wat Phra Kaew, while other highlights in Rattanakosin include the large reclining Buddha statue at Wat Pho and the Thai-European stylings of Wat Ratchabophit.
Other popular districts worth exploring during your trip to Bangkok include Siam Square with its many modern shopping malls, and Silom for its bustling nightlife. The clothing markets of Pratunam are definitely worth a visit if you're looking for high quality Thai fashion.
During your trip to Bangkok you'll also find many activities to indulge in that might be outside of your normal, everyday experiences. During the day you can take a meditation class run by the local monks at Wat Matahat, or a Thai cookery class in Silom.
As evening approaches you can visit the popular night market located next to Chao Phraya River. Other popular activities include browsing through the city's colourful and atmospheric markets and soaking up the nightlife for which Bangkok is famous.
Thailand is famous for its cuisine, and in Bangkok you can sample all aspects of it. Street food is highly affordable, safe and delicious, and can be sampled in Yaowarat (Chinatown), on Silom Road and in many other places that draw a crowd.
There are also thousands of restaurants where you can sample Thai delicacies like green curry, pad Thai and aromatic Tom Yam Goong.
From the multitude of market stalls in Banglamphu to the designer boutiques of Siam Square, you're sure to find something to suit your tastes when you travel to Bangkok. The floating market in Taling Chan is a good place to go to get an insight into traditional Thai trade. You can also find just about everything imaginable in the huge shopping centres between Siam and the Chidlom area.
Chatuchak Weekend market is very popular attraction too. It is one of the world's largest weekend markets covering an area of 27 acres.
Most flights to Bangkok now arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Bangkok please check the visa and passport requirements.

I'd be willing to do quite a bit to get him in a Pacer uniform this summer.
Obviously its extremely unlikely, but hey, that's what this forum is for right?
I'm not sure exactly how BYC works in Tinsley's case, but I know that it is lifted after this season right?
How about some combination of Tinsley/JO/Jack for Gilbert/Haywoode/Jarvis Hayes?

Fast and Furious 7, and the franchise itself, is simply too lucrative to abandon.
As everyone knows, series regular Paul Walker was killed in a car crash two weeks ago, and since then Universal has been quietly trying to figure out how to save the film, and the series. Sara Nathan, writing in The MailOnline, reports that "Paul's brother Cody, 25, who has worked as a stuntman, is set to take his place in the final scenes. According to a source close to the production, producers have been in-and-out of meetings since the star's death, trying to work out a way to fill his void.'They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody,' claims the source.'They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and it it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on,' explained the source."
The death of a major actor during filming on a movie has certainly happened before — see this link — but what might be nice is if the script is reworked so that Walker's character, Brian O'Connor, is sidelined by a minor accident within the film, and the team decides to call on his brother to help out with whatever scheme they're up to in this episode. Cody Walker, an experienced stuntman, could easily adapt to a franchise like the Fast and Furious films, which is little more than nonstop action.
This would give Universal a chance to showcase Cody, with perhaps a scene in which Paul – through the extensive use of CGI – decides at the end to hang it up, walks away, and his brother takes over his slot in the series. That way, "Brian O'Connor" remains alive at the end of the film, just in retirement from the fast life, and reality isn't allowed to intrude on what is essentially a fantasy series. It makes a great deal of sense – as when George Sanders handed over the Falcon series of detective thrillers in the 1940s to his brother, Tom Conway. I'm sure that Cody Walker will feel more than a little strange doubling for his brother, Paul, and I hope that he strikes a deal with the studio that makes him an instant multi-millionaire for his services.
It's sad, but that's Hollywood, where the bottom line is always a prime consideration.

When the extended family decided to go on a vacation together last September, they had plenty of options. They could catch a cruise ship in Seattle to head to Alaska, take a road trip through the Black Hills of South Dakota or fly to LA to visit the (second) happiest place on Earth. But they decided that spending time on a houseboat is really the best way to vacation, so they began packing to spend a week on the open water.

Topic: Newly Diagnosed
My name is Mary. A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma - unknown primary. My treatment consisted of chemo and radiation. Surgery was not an option because my tumor was wrapped around celiac and hepatic arteries. Back in May of 2012 another tumor popped up running along my portal vein which they called a regional spread. But as of last week, they told me the tumor is in my bile duct. They said I have Cholangiocarcinoma - stage III. Since I still can't have surgery, they are going to try Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). I have to have a "spacer" put in to separate my stomach from my liver so the radiation hits only where it's suppose to. When the surgeon puts in the "spacer" he will also put in the "gold seeds" for the SBRT. I am meeting with the surgical oncologist on 3/18/13 and will get a surgery date at that time. Overall, I am feeling well with some pain but manageable without pain medication. A little overwhelmed by the new diagnosis. I was starting to believe my body flushed out the primary site since it was a year and a half since my original diagnosis. So a little disappointed, to say the least, when they said I had Stage III Cholangiocarcinoma. Am happy to have found this web site and look forward to hearing from others with similar stories.

Don't feed the deer: It could kill them
EUGENE, Ore. - Don't feed the deer: It could kill them.
That's the warning from state wildlife biologists as a deadly disease rips through southern Oregon's blacktail deer herds.
So far, there have been no documented deer deaths in Lane County from the virus afflicting blacktail herds around Medford, said Marianne Brooks, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Once a viral disease takes hold, however, it can spread rapidly through a herd.
Property owners who put out food or water for deer actually put the animals in greater danger for the spread of disease, Brooks side.
The feed brings the animals closer together in one place, allowing the disease to move from one animal to another more readily than it would in the wild.
Brooks compared the situation to a classroom full of children: if a few kids come to school with a cold or flu, the bug rapidly spreads.
Unlike a classroom full of kids, once a virus gets loose in the deer population, there's nothing ODFW can do to treat or control the spread of the disease.

A friend of mine sent me these photos today which I have put them together (as per the attachment) and wants to know what are the languages and their meanings inscribed on the tripod vessels. My own rough guesswork is that on the left, it looks like Khmer/Thai? And on the right, it's Arabic script?
If there are any here who can identify & read what the pictures show, your assistance is appreciated and many thanks in advance.
