You want to show off your craptastic code while you sling fireballs at the camera BioShock style don't you? Of course you do. Let's get started.
Download & install
- ManyCam (For fire, and snow, and captions, and masks, and…)
- VH Multi Camera Studio 18.104.22.168 (18.104.22.168 is no longer available from the official website.)
- VH Screen Capture Driver (Superior to ManyCam's desktop view.)
Let's walk through a setup using the phenomenal tinychat.
Tinychat is a 100% free, no downloads or signup required website that lets you easily video chat with others. You can create a video chat room and invite up to 10 thousand people to join in with you. Even though tinychat is simple, it's still powerful and you can easily customize and moderate your rooms with skill.
Only the room creator need log in (with TinyChat, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.). Jump into a room, like http://tinychat.com/anything_goes_here_whee. When you click Start Broadcasting always choose VHMultiCam. This is the selection you will always make in every application. Proceed.
Save yourself some future work and right click your video and select Settings. Specify that you want your browser to remember to always give tinychat permission to access your mic and camera.
So VH Multi Camera Studio launched automatically, this is good. This is the one being utilized (by tinychat). Opening it manually wouldn't have the desired effect. This is where we can create fun and magical combinations and presets.
In the View menu set the resolution to 320 x 240, this is what tinychat and such want to see. Add sources with the menu, position them and resize them, drag and drop them in the list to adjust z-ordering.
The only obnoxiously technical part here is adjusting the settings for each source you add. Right click them and enter Video Capture and/or Video Capture Format under Setup. Unfortunately the Output Size of my camera always defaults to 160 x 120, which is a horrible image. I can get 30 FPS up to 640 x 480, so I have to adjust this each time it's added. Switching to presets that use the camera keep the settings though, so a secret is to add my camera even to presets that don't use it, just hidden behind.
Now we'll configure VH Screen Capture Driver for mouse tracking screen capture. (It can capture and resize windows and other neat things too.) Add VHScrCap to a preset somewhere and enter its settings dialog. Here is what I use:
Check the box Track screen under the Capture tab as well. The notable setting here is output size at 400 x 300. For other 4:3 settings I found 320 x 240 to be too zoomed in, and 640 x 480 too zoomed out. This setting requires you re-initialize VHScrCap to take effect, so jump to another preset and back.
You may have noticed the Show frame option too. This paints a nice red box to illustrate what part of your screen you're capturing. Unfortunately the borders are quite thick, and the box can glitch and freeze. My friend improved upon this considerably: RedBox.zip.
Finally, ManyCam. ManyCam is a free program with lots of fun features and effects. It's awesome really. You can pick from any source in ManyCam to represent it in Multi Camera Studio (and thus tinychat). Often you'll want ManyCam set to your camera itself. When doing so you'll get a better image if you force the size to something higher, that your camera supports.
You're probably thinking, "Ooh! So I don't really need presets in Multi Camera Studio for my camera itself, just ManyCam!" That's true, except in my case the quality is a bit worse through ManyCam, observe. (ManyCam is on the right.)
So I have extra presets instead. That's about it! There's definitely a ton to figure out yourself. For instance when it comes to FPS I've let everything hover around 30, often sticking to defaults.Discussion

CENTRAL EUROPE: Clothing and footwear markets set to grow
By Petah Marian | 20 August 2012
The clothing and footwear market in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia is expected to expand to EUR14bn in 2014, up from EUR13bn in 2011.
According to research house PMR, the Central European region grew at a sluggish pace between 2010 and 2012, with all markets, except Poland, recording figures lower than those achieved in 2008.
Its report, 'Clothing and footwear retail market in Central Europe 2012. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Market analysis and development forecasts for 2012-2014,' says the overall fashion market in the Central European (CE) region was worth EUR13bn in 2011, a 1% increase in local currencies, but slightly less in euro terms.
PMR forecasts suggest the medium-term outlook is less bleak, with expectations of a modest improvement in Central Europe over the next two years. Between 2011 and 2014, Poland and Romania are set to record the highest sales growth rates in clothing and footwear - 11% and 10%, respectively. It also expects Bulgaria to grow 9% over the next three years.
Spanish clothing company Inditex led the field as the largest clothing retailer in Central Europe in 2011, accounting for over 4% of the market through its more than 300 stores. Polish Lipp Group and Tesco rounded out the top three, accounting for some 12% of the market.
The budget sector is the most prevalent market in Central Europe, making up 46% of its value, with the most substantial presence in Hungary and Bulgaria.
Romania and Bulgaria are expected to develop more extensively than other countries in relative terms by 2013, while Poland and Romania should achieve the highest nominal value.
The outlook for the Slovak market is also promising and, after mid 2012, the Czech market is expected to rebound somewhat. However, the "Plaza stop" ban in Hungary, which prohibits the construction of retail stores taking up more than 300 square metres, means the market will face a shortage of new retail space.

Fuzzy Logic Based Intrusion Detection System Against Blackhole Attack on AODV in MANET
Security is an essential feature for wired and wireless network. But due to its unique characteristics of MANETs, it creates a number of consequential security challenges to network. MANETs are vulnerable to various attacks, blackhole is one of the possible attack. In this paper, the authors represent an intrusion detection system for MANETs against blackhole attack using fuzzy logic. Their system successfully detects the blackhole in the network and this information is passed to other nodes also. They also provide a detailed performance evaluation based on various network parameters. Their results show that the proposed system not only detects the blackhole node, but improves the performance of AODV under the blackhole attack.

R1 Jersey Stakes
Le Brivido won his first two for the great Andre Fabre before just being outstayed on soft ground in the French 2000 Guineas after looking the winner. His conqueror Brametot has since won the Prix Du Jockey Club.
Beat The Bank won on his only start in Ireland before moving to Andrew Balding and remaining unbeaten with a win in a strong race at Newmarket. He has big improvement to come and has been working well for his in-form stable.
Daban beat subsequent German 1000 Guineas winner Unforgetable Filly in the Nell Gwyn over this trip before a fine third in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. She's by Acclamation out of a Whipper mare so this is likely to be her trip.
Dream Castle was second to Barney Roy in the Greenham before not getting the run of the race when fifth in the 2000 Guineas.
Selections: 9 Le Brivido, 3 Beat The Bank, 5 Daban, 6 Dream Castle
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Jersey Stakes here.
R2 Queen Mary Stakes
Happy Like A Fool was impressive on debut in the US and represents Wesley Ward who has won the last two renewals as well as in 2009. Ryan Moore is booked and Ward has stated that she is the pick of his juveniles and has shown more talent than any other juvenile he's trained.
Heartache could not have been more impressive when winning by six lengths on debut at Bath and is held in high regard by Clive Cox who has a great team of juveniles.
Chica La Habana put in a tremendous late surge to win at Beverley on debut for Robert Cowell who is a master trainer with sprinters. This is a big step up but she'll be suited by the fast tempo.
Mrs Gallagher rallied when headed to win in a good time on debut here after showing plenty of early speed.
Selections: 8 Happy Like A Fool, 9 Heartache, 2 Chica La Habana, 15 Mrs Gallagher
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Queen Mary Stakes here.
R3 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes
Laugh Aloud has been hugely impressive on her last two starts and demolished a Group 3 field at Epsom in a fast time. She loves quick ground and showed at Epsom she doesn't have to lead.
Qemah won the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at last year's Royal Ascot before winning a Group 1 at Deauville. She disappointed on her last race of the season at Leopardstown but wasn't quite at her best first up at Lingfield. She looked to need the run and had a troubled passage and remains a class act.
Usherette is last year's winner and was supplemented for this. The fast ground is a concern but Ascot is a track she may get away with it and looked to be coming back to form at Chantilly last start.
Mix And Mingle was aimed specifically for the Chartwell at Lingfield where she beat Qemah. She may struggle to comfirm the form over this extra trip.
Selections: 7 Laugh Aloud, 10 Qemah, 15 Usherette, 8 Mix And Mingle
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes here.
R4 Prince Of Wales's Stakes
Highland Reel disappointed in Meydan behind Jack Hobbs but Aidan O'Brien's brilliant globetrotter was back to form on better ground at Epsom. Although he's arguably better over further he could easily boss this field from the front on ground he loves.
Jack Hobbs returned to form when third in the Champion Stakes here and then was trained specifically for the Dubai Sheema Classic where he produced a superb win.
Ulysses returned in style in the Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown. He's always looked like a potential improver with age and could have a big season.
Scottish improved significantly last season culminating in a big second in the Caulfield Cup. It's a tough assignment first up but it would be no surprise to see him right up there.
Selections: 2 Highland Reel, 3 Jack Hobbs, 7 Ulysses, 6 Scottish
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes here.
R5 Royal Hunt Cup
Hors De Combat returned from Meydan with a good second at Bath and then caught the eye over a trip too short in the Victoria Cup. He's very talented and while he doesn't win often is on an attractive mark and he's a huge price.
Abe Lincoln only just failed to win the Brittania Stakes at last year's meeting on just his fifth start. That run would make him the leading hope. He sustained an injury but has been the subject of good reports from Jeremy Noseda.
Banksea ran a career best after being gelded when winning the Spring Cup at Newbury. He's still lightly raced so he should still have plenty of improvement to come compared to most.
Bossy Guest has finished close to Banksea in the Spring Cup and Fastnet Tempest in the Victoria Cup without getting the run of the race. He's on a really attractive mark and cold reverse form at big odds.
Selections: 10 Hors De Combat, 23 Abe Lincoln, 8 Banksea, 11 Bossy Guest
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Royal Hunt Cup here.
R6 Sandringham Handicap
Gymnaste had won a Chester maiden in a fast time before being incredibly unlucky at Kempton on handicap debut. That again was a quick time and she has the look of a very well handicapped filly for John Gosden.
Queen Of Time won the same race at Goodwood that last year's Sandringham winner Persuasive took. She showed a smart turn of foot and it was a considerable step forward.
Dancing Breeze won a hot maiden on debut at Newmarket and while she disappointed in Listed company and was fifth on handicap debut at Sandown it could be that she needs quick ground.
Sibilance was third in a Listed race on her third run and first on turf at York. Ralph Beckett thought she'd be a Group horse early on and her Kempton conditions win is smart form.
Selections: 17 Gymnaste, 21 Queen Of Time, 20 Dancing Breeze, 16 Sibilance
Check out the TAB.com.au markets for the Sandringham Handicap here.

In the rush to upgrade computers and buy new software, many business owners forget that people need to be taught how to use the software before they can begin to be more productive.
Yet employees can lose up to three weeks of work time tackling computer problems on their own, according to a recent survey of 400 PC users by SCO, a British software firm, and Harris Research. In fact, the first month after a new software program is introduced, employees spend an average of 100 minutes a week trying to figure out how to use it. "The latest software isn't empowering these users, it's disrupting their workday," said Geoff Seabrook of SCO.
One alternative to sending your employees to community college classes or hiring private instructors is to look into customized training provided online.
"I don't like to be instructed. I like to work on my own," said Barbara Epstein, who recently spent about an hour a day teaching herself how to use Microsoft spreadsheet and database programs with an online tutoring service.
Because her job keeps her so busy, taking classes was not an attractive option. Instead, she taught herself how to use the programs via Learn-ItOnline, a tutoring service offered by Ziff-Davis Education on the World Wide Web.
"I really don't enjoy reading instruction books," said Epstein. "This has given me confidence with the computer." Because it operates 24 hours a day, LearnItOnline and other services like it allow people to work at their own pace and set their own training
schedules. It's like having a virtual tutor who never sleeps and isn't on the payroll.
"The second half of 1997 is witnessing an explosion in the Web-based training market," said Bill Rosenthal, president of Ziff-Davis Education, which entered the market in March 1997. "The people who benefit most from this are often the people who are most scared of being online," said Dina Wood, a spokeswoman for Hand Technologies in Austin, Texas.
Hand, which sells computers to small companies and individuals, has been offering LearnItOnline services to customers on a trial basis. The company, which has 1,000 sales consultants nationwide, now plans to offer the program to clients across the country.
You can check out the site at www.learnitonline.com.
Because everyone learns differently, the online tutorials include audio instruction as well as visual demonstrations.
You can pick up the basics of a program or learn more advanced functions. Then you can practice everything you've just learned.
Meanwhile, Epstein said her main complaint about her online tutoring was that the audio portion of the lesson takes several minutes to download. But she said it's worth the wait.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Girls Write Now, Inc., New York, NY, USA
I first heard about girlswritenow from a friend. Interested in seeing what they do I attended my first reading over 1 year ago. Two memories particularly standout from that reading: 1) One of the girls reading a very personal story started to cry and have difficulty finishing reading. Spontaneously a couple of senior girls in the group (ones that had previously read that day) joined the struggling girl on the stage. They spoke quietly to hear while they had their supportive arms wrapped around her. With their support, the struggling reader was able to complete her piece. I felt this clearly symbolized what this organization was about...not only female mentorship from professional writers but creating a sense of family and support within a group from very ethnically and socially diverse backgrounds. The organization had clearly fostered this in addition to developing up and coming professional writers. 2) There had been a discussion behind me about how amazing it was that every girl that had completed the program went on to college/advanced education. I found that impossible to believe given all the additional personal challenges that many of these girls encountered daily. But it was in fact true. These experiences along with the wonderfully creative and high quality work that the organization creates defines girlswritenow making it a model nonprofit. I've since remained involved and try to help such a wonderful organization anyway that I can.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
attending a number of readings and receiving regular updates.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
recognizing the positive lifelong effect that this organization has on every girl, mentor, volunteer, donor, and audience participant.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
the most dedicated group that I've encountered. I say that being involved in many nonprofits from volunteer to board president.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make such an incredible impact in the lives of so many deserving girls/women.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

BBQ Torimaru
4768 Convoy St., Kearny Mesa; (858) 571-3333; open daily for dinner; weekends, lunch and dinner
THE FOOD: Fried chicken and Korean specialties
THE SCENE: Bright, modish colors dress up a basic restaurant
THE BOTTOM LINE: Fried chicken, $9.50 to $18.99, depending on quantity; Korean entrees, $8.95 to $14.95
PARKING: Ample spots in adjacent lot
DON'T MISS: The Teri-Q gold wings
U-T food writers dish on the San Diego dining scene in their blog "Side Dish." Check it out online at uniontrib.com/sidedish. You can also follow the food staff on Twitter, @sdutFood.
Fried chicken aficionados thinking of heading to the nearest KFC for a quick fix might reconsider. Believe it or not, it's a Korean-style restaurant in Kearny Mesa that's serving up a pretty darn seductive version of this American favorite.
Something of an odd hybrid, BBQ (that's Best of the Best Quality) Torimaru features two very different menus, one featuring both fried and marinated grilled chicken and the other, traditional Korean fare. Where else could you get a basket of fried chicken with a side of mozzarella cheese sticks, plus kimchee and an order of spicy sea snails?
While Torimaru doesn't advertise its chicken as Korean style, the BBQ worldwide chain that Torimaru is a part of is clearly capitalizing on the rising popularity of fried chicken as a trendy bar food in South Korea. Although started in Korea, the chain is based in New Jersey and has 3,500 outlets in 37 countries. Just seven are in California.
The apparent key to the delicate, crispy crunch of BBQ's chicken is that it's deep fried in filtered extra virgin olive oil. The result is a lighter, more ethereal crust and remarkably juicy meat.
Although prepared with a blend of 30 seasonings, the "original chicken" is fairly bland. Far more tasty were the Teri-Q gold wings, also deep fried, and while still hot, tossed in a slightly sweet, zesty teriyaki sauce. A coating of flour and rice powder gives the outside a chewier texture.
Paired with a cold draft beer (which is served with a small bowl of popcorn), it's a pretty enticing indulgence. While the fried chicken seems a bit pricey, before you get your order, you'll be served a selection of cold appetizers for free, including kimchee, sprouts, steamed broccoli, diced potato and dried squid. A bowl of pickled radish cubes makes for a welcome palate cleanser.
While the fried chicken is definitely the star attraction here, it's worth sampling some of the traditional Korean menu items if you're feeling a little adventuresome. The bulgogi, which consists of thin slices of beef marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and garlic, has a pleasant, sweet taste, although the meat did not taste as though it was a prime cut, as billed.
Bibimbap, a dish that combines white rice with an assortment of julienned vegetables and beef and is topped with a fried egg, seemed promising from the description, but the coldness of the vegetables was jarring when mixed with the warm rice.
From the outside, the restaurant, with its arched accents, looks as though it was a Mexican restaurant at one time. Inside, there are two flat-screen TVs, and suspended from the ceiling are oversized orange domed lights that look like they came straight out of "The Jetsons."
No need, though, to dine in. If you're simply interested in satisfying that fried chicken craving, call 15 minutes ahead and pick up your order at the drive-through window.
PINT OF THE WEEK: Matilda, Chicago (3 1/2 bottles)
BLESSINGS: Among the beer styles bequeathed to us by Trappist brewers is the Belgian blond, which tends to be spicy, earthy, sweet and dry. A classic example comes from the Abbaye de Notre-Dame d'Orval; Greg Hall, brewmaster at Goose Island, credits this beer with inspiring his rich brew.
LOVELY LADY: Matilda cuts a lovely figure, the color of a blushing apricot topped by a thin, craggy layer of eggshell-white foam. Pinprick bubbles push aloft the beer's trademark hopsack and pineapple aromas.
COMPLEX, TOO: Matilda's appeals are more than just visual. Even a sip will reveal depths of flavor. Caramel malts supply hints of toasted sweet rolls, partnering with traditional Belgian spice notes of coriander and, fainter, ginger. Peaches and pineapple float across the mid-palate, and the finish is dry and surprisingly warm – the 7 percent alcohol content is higher than your typical ale, but not that high.
MOVING IN: Matilda dates back to 2005, but it wasn't until March that she was shipped west of the Mississippi. We paid $12.99 for a four-pack at the Whole Foods in Hillcrest. After drinking two bottles, we cellared the other pair; Hall maintains that this already glorious brew will gain character and beauty for five years.
Note: Beers are rated from 0 to 5 bottles, with 5 best.

text: I think Maks' fans (and they are legion) will keep Misty in it for quite a while. I agree that if she doesn't improve a lot, she won't win. She isn't there yet, but I do see potential in her. I was impressed that she was willing to go solo on the Mambo and carry the bulk of the performance for that dance this early in the season. I don't know if Brooke's fan base is as big as Maks'. To be honest I hadn't heard of her before. I still think Brooke is the class of the field so far.Originally Posted by mbcrowder;3206208;

So it's here. The culmination of 5 years of hard work (…well work anyway) has arrived in the mail and it turns out its just a piece of paper. It is my B.A degree. While receiving a B.A. is not an accomplishment to overlook it is easy to. Let's be real her ladies and gents. The only thing a B.A. means nowadays is that you can read and write. Do not get me wrong. I am proud of myself, but you can add reading and writing to the list of things I do fairly well and sometimes just okay. I am squatting in that awkward place between post graduation and the rest of my life. Yes, I said squatting because this is only temporary. Right?
I mean, I can sit in a chair and tell you why a plunging bandage dress makes Christina Aguilera look like a stuffed sausage instead of the curvy empowered woman she incessantly claims to be in defense of her "Vienna" status, but Joan Rivers already has that job (Honey, that was a joke. I am a seriously diehard Xtina fan. I will root for her with half a bottle of tequila in her hand and six tacos in the other). I am interested in style, fashion, can pull a decent smoky eye off with Walgreens good, and can actually sAng a little tune, but I have yet to find what I am extraordinary at. I have yet to find a skill that I am supremely gifted at, that touches my soul and that of others as well as provides me with some money, Honey (and some health insurance. Shoot You never know when a Mack truck might meet your left foot. #reallifetruth)I feel as though I am shopping for a calling, sifting through all these choices, and I can't find the right kind of canned corn. Walking through this supermarket of unrealized destiny, I fancy myself the Asian Carriebradshaw. You know, Carrie Bradshaw minus the trio of gal pals down to talk about teabagging over a midafternoon dessert, Manoloes, and the horribly complicated love life, and the great sex… Alright, I am nothing like that broad, but I do admire her. Ms. Bradshaw turned the journal to her life into a career and all whilst in 5 inch heels and this inevitably enabled her to buy more 5 inch heels.
LIGHTBULB! I think it is time to check out. I may not have the right canned corn or a clue what my destiny is, but I am going to write about it. I am going to speak about it. I am going to go on this journey and do it out loud and of course in 5 inch heels. If you know me, I am sure you've seen my closet.

To those who like timepieces, a watch can be many things: a piece of art, a collectible investment, an accessory to an outfit. But true to our name, we prefer to see watches first and foremost as gear. Whether you're wearing it to dive with sharks, drive a supercar or get married, it is that portable, reliable companion that keeps the time of your life. These are not objects to keep in a safe deposit box, but rather worn, used and appreciated.

We've covered watches here for quite a while, but now, in the same vein as our new series LIMITS and OCTANE, it's time to formally (re)introduce TIMEKEEPING, a discerning and slightly different take on watches than maybe you get elsewhere. Every Tuesday, we'll deliver our take on timepieces through our regular series: Icons explains the grails, Breakdowns simplify the complications, Roundups give you options and our Want This, Get This might even save you some money. Sometimes we'll show you cool watches just because we love watches and that's what we do.
Timekeeping won't discriminate based on brand names, importance, style or price. Instead we seek to present a range of watches, from affordable to priceless, that carry on the spirit of utility, beauty, tradition and innovation that made us love watches in the first place. Our little team of Timekeeping writers wants to share a little bit of that love with you. Even if you don't always agree with our choices, our hope is that you can appreciate the spirit that inspired them. So without further ado, let's get ticking.

Muscle Building tips?
I'm 19, 6 feet tall. 160 lbs. But I have hardly any muscle. I can bench only bench 125 lbs which really dissapointed me. I havent squated since I graduated last year and I maxed around 250 at the time. It's probably way less by now. I've been mainly working on my upper body. I was stronger when I was in HS. But it's not like I making that much of an improvement. When I first started lifiting when I was 17, I benched 125 lbs, inclined 115, military pressed 100, powercleaned 120, and squated 180. When I graduated HS (about a year and a few months after), I was able to bench 165 lbs, inclined 145, millitary pressed 115, powercleaned 155, and squated 265.
But the point of that class wasnt to body build, it was for building leaner muscles. but I want to get big. Problem is, all I have is a bench with weights adding up to 115 lbs, can't afford membership at gyms, and even if I can afford the memberships, the closest one is 30 miles away. Anyone got tips on how to get bigger and stronger with what I got?
My goals in a year from now is to bench 200 lbs, squat 300, incline press 180, military press 160, and power clean 200 lbs.
these goals are unrealistic.
adjust to bench 225, incline 185, military 155.
you want muscle, eat carbs and protein till you puke and workout everyday, low reps heavy weight, concentrating on specific muscle groups. get a workout buddy to spot and push you through the 'walls' you hit.
or just get some steroids and that will sort it out too. But even on juice you still need carbs and protein, cant build muscle out of air.
Take some roids, some girls might not care how big you are below the waist if your huge above it:D
Listen to the man, he knows his shyt.
The common misconception about building mass is through working out alone. That is only a small portion of the equation. The fact is lifting weight tears down muscle. The only thing that will repair that is protien. The only way to increase volume size is carbs. If you are interested in supplements, let me know, but diet is most important.

Oh Goody!
The list of college sports again! No matter how often you cut and paste that, it still gives me a thrill... and by the way, your weeping over South Africa is a bit misplaced. What was done in Rhodesia was pretty shitty, but what's gone on there since is far worse. It's the rape (both male and female) capital of the world, and the AIDS rate is through the roof. The economy is a shambles and inflation is so bad that money is worthless, All this taking place after the honkies got thrown out. If you're going to be a racist, Samuel, can't you at least be an honest one?by Anonymous10/24/12

Delivery was fine - but the parka was too large and had a zip that kept sticking. I returned my goods 10 days ago. I phoned to explain I would be returning them and why.
I returned them 10 days ago and since then nobody has called or emailed to notify me of receipt of the goods or to reimburse. Thank heavens I sent them recorded delivery (so have proof of delivery) and not in the general first class post, as gear-zone recommended when I called them. Have chased this up twice now and both times been told they will have to look into it without ever hearing back. What I have had is a series of excuses of people not being in, the warehouse being behind and stand in staff not knowing the process.
I want my £187 back now, please!

When the Treasury Capitulates
By granting certain sectors better working conditions while withholding them from others, the Finance Ministry is sending the message that only those who can cause damage, get the money.
A few days ago, the workers at Israel Railways signed a new collective agreement with the Finance Ministry. The wage agreement is part of the implementation of the structural reform at the railways and includes unprecedented salary benefits in the form of generous grants and large salary hikes.
There are also a number of clauses that are difficult to comprehend. For example, the clause that states that anyone who works for 15 years in the railways will be considered, for purposes of salary, as if he holds an academic degree, and a new worker of the second generation will be considered as if he were of the first generation and therefore will be awarded all the improved conditions being granted to the veterans.
This week it also transpired that some of the workers at Ashdod port are expected to get a large wage increment of some NIS 3,500 a month per worker. All of this when the average salary of the port employees is NIS 25,000 a month, with some earning more than NIS 50,000 a month - more than the prime minister is paid.
The Finance Ministry is of course talking about a reform in the port that will improve the work there. There is always talk of a reform that is merely a cover-up for salary hikes. After all, two years ago the port workers received a raise of thousands of shekels in return for a "reform," and the big "reform" agreement signed with the port workers in 2005 when Benjamin Netanyahu was finance minister is still clearly etched in our memories. At that time, they received large grants and salary increases in return for industrial quiet and partial privatization - promises which they did not of course keep.
Then there are the workers at the Israel Electric Corporation that have the government at their mercy because of their control over a vital commodity. They prevent the implementation of efficiency measures and flexibility in the company, which has an astronomical debt of NIS 70 billion - a debt that the entire public will be required to pay one of these days.
As opposed to all these despicable capitulations, the treasury demonstrates amazing power to withstand the demands of the nurses. In their case, the average wage is some NIS 14,000 per month but the finance ministry insists on claiming that they cannot give them any additional payments across the board since this is an election period and the budget is in a very bad state. That is to say: those who can cause damage, get the money. Those who threaten disturbances and demonstrations, win. Those who take part in the Likud primaries in organized fashion, profit. Everything is a matter of force, not of justice, not of morals, and not of what's important. Just have control of the country's main switch.

Pope Benedict in plea for world peace
POPE Benedict XVI yesterday wished Christmas peace to the world, decrying the slaughter of the "defenceless" in Syria and urging Israelis and Palestinians to find the courage to negotiate.
Delivering the Vatican's traditional Christmas day message from the central balcony of St Peter's Basilica, a weary-looking and hoarse-sounding Benedict also encouraged Arab spring nations – especially Egypt – to build just and respectful societies.
He said Egypt was the land ''blessed by the childhood of Jesus".
He said Egypt was the land ''blessed by the childhood of Jesus"
The Pope also prayed that China's new leaders respect religion, a reference to persecution Chinese Roman Catholics have at times endured under communism.

Winter flight under freezing point
Winter is very cold here in Quebec
I did not seen many remotely piloted aircraft that fly around here theses days. I did not believe flying so much this winter. But I feel like in summer waiting for sunny days with no wind. I was lucky, I had several beautiful days since two weeks.
Who would have thought that at -15C it could be fun to fly a plane with remote camera. I spent an hour outside today flying my plane and it was super fun. I almost want to say that it was perfect ... Apart from my freezing toes
After severals flights made at temperatures bellow the freezing point, I begin to master what to do when it is very cold outside. The most surprising is how are little difference between my equipment in winter compare to summer, apart me who is unrecognizable
The radio Futaba don't have any protection, such as my video goggle and headtracker. The Lipo battery for my goggle is locate in my interior pocket with an extension to the helmet. I receive the image directly into the new helmet RCV922 from Aeropix (to come). A standard 3dBi antenna is installed on the helmet.
I have an Easystar. The camera and pan/tilt servos are directly exposed to wind unprotected. All others servos have no special protection. In summer, the propulsion battery is installed at the front inside the fuselage and the video 4.8V AAA NiMh battery is install just behind. In winter I attach the NiMh battery over the Lipo battery so the Lipo heat the video battery. I cover the batteries with a small piece of foam as insulation and close the camera and servo platform. The platform is held by an elastic band.
To save my flights, I use a tape recorder Archos AV500. I put it in my inside pocket and connect it directly to my helmet for all regular flights in case I crash and I am far away, it helps me to retrace the plane. But for a higher quality recording, I use a receiver mounted on a tripod with a 8dBi patch antenna. The wire between the antenna go in a bag hold by a hook under the tripod. In this isolated bag, I stack my receiver with integrated battery and my recorder. The Archos and receiver heat slightly, it's more than enough to keep the interior above 0C.
All my batteries are on me in my interior pockets. When I leave the house, the two batteries of the aircraft are already connected ensuring that all electronics on board will work well. The receiver has a fail-safe. The radio and my goggle are turned off in my carrying case.
Arriving at destination, I turn on the radio primarily for heating and stabilize the headtracker and radio and I plug the rest of my materiel. It takes 2-3 minutes to take off so I made another calibration and don't wait any longer. I move away from my car to be away from the metal. The headtracker will not stabilize before long time when the temperature is well below zero degrees, about 30 minutes at -15C. But the drift is minimal anyway.
The air is more dense and it's noticable with a light aircraft, more lift, so the minimum speed can be reduced. The propulsion battery seems a little bit weak compared to the summer, but anyway I prefer to fly slowly in the cold air.
I made a video today, I used the new CCD camera that Aeropix sent me for evaluation. It's the same camera that Anthony had compare with a KX131 this week. I took the time to adjust the settings on my video recorder to provide optimum image with the new cam, and the result is excellent. The blue sky and white snow are magnificent. For other colors, they are not available now here
The resolution and the blue of the sky are better than my KX131 camera in my opinion. And she respond to wonder when the sun is low and behind the clouds unlike the KX131. I never been able to fly low near ground with the KX131 like I do in the video that I will present you with the lightning conditions of today.
So the next time you use the reason " it's too cold to fly FPV today "
Think about me and say, well if he does, why not me

Great video......
I see you are getting a little interference when flying at lower altitude around the buildings.... No problem though, for now....
I reall like the way you bring it in low like that anyways, it shows skill and practice. I eventually will get a camera system good enough to do the same, but for now, I have to stay above the trees for a good signal.
I still have plans for the first north american FPV fly though...Going to have a easter egg hunt, where each pilot will be given a color,(let's say you get the color red) you are timed from launch to search out and find a red flag posted somewhere on a stretch of property and make it back to the finish/launch line.
More ideas to come on that, but anyways, great job flying and great video.
Well, Denis, this is an excellent video. I am just simply amazed how well you handle that Ez.
However, I am not sure if anyone noticed yet- your head tracker does not seem to be drifting at all even in this cold weather... What kind of head tracker are you using?
Hey Denis, I bet your car was cold after that flight... you left the trunk open
Amazing flight, really shows one of the wonders of FPV, all you need is a few obstacles in the middle of nowhere, and they provide hours of entertainment!
It would be interesting to see a similar flight with a diversity Rx hooked up to the recorder, this doesn't look like digital noise (wifi/bluetooth) that you were experiencing, looks like multipathing.
Great stuff!
once again... great video, great skills!
camera is great too!
but one thing...why no start from the ground?
you didnt want to stress your batteries too much in the beginning?
I use TrackR1 from Aeropix. I got a drift but is very minimal. The anti-drift correct the drift cause by low temperature.
I was thinking too how much usefull could a Diversity receiver even for that kind of flight. But I already said how much I hate tripod, but in fact it's not the tripod that I hate but the cable that hook me to the tripod. Greg from Fatshark send me presently a 2.4Ghz 10mW transmitter, so I will install it on the tripod. The idea is to retransmit the signal received by the diversity receiver on another channel to the RCV922 goggle.
What I like of this setup, is I can install the tripod far from me or metallic fence etc, I leave it there power on for many hours if I want. I can be anywhere around even at good distance. The recorder will be in the bag under the tripod recordig all the time if I want, if I lost the plane, I always get a video to start the search.
About the car door open, my idea was finishing the flight in the car trunk, like Gabriel would done no need to remove the wings, they will pop up...
I don't start from the ground because the plane don't have enough power... I ordered a new motor much more powerfull and another easystar (no5). With a powerfull motor and large control surface, I will able to turn tight and go vertical
Hi VRFlyer !
Nice vid !
The glitch on video is it possible to stop it with a bigger receiver antenna ?
Or the new google RCV922 have permanent antenna and you can't skip it with like 8 or 16dbi patch antenna ?
Next time you will fly, please bug me !!! No probs to drive to Ste-Julie to see that !
I just got done with a winter flight myself. Not quite as cold here (25*F, or about -4*C) but still cold enough!! Battery performance definitely is an issue. I found the 2S lipo I power my video Tx and camera with started to call it quits after about 6 minutes. Got what I thought was some severe glitching, so I landed. I swapped batteries, and the problem went away. So it was the battery going out. The video battery is directly exposed to the outside air on the plane, so I'm sure that doesn't help any.
you must block your cooling hole use in summer. your battery must not be expose directly to wind
I will always have dropout when I fly with obstacles between the plane and the receiver. Most of my interference happen when the plane is behind the building or behind the line of trees in my video. Using two 8Dbi patch with a diversity receiver will help but it's will not be perfection. 14dbi patch have a too narrow beam.
p.s. even if a 8dBi patch have 60 deg beam, it is true when the plane go far, but close like I fly, I can go behind the antenna and still have good reception. In the video, I use the tripod to record and I use the internal receiver of the goggle to fly the plane. I got more dropout in the goggle because the antenna is only 3dBi and I also move my head so the antenna do stay vertical. The headset antenna is not enough for the kind of flight I do. I'm use to fly with video dropout because for 5 years I use a tx/rx with poor performance. But now i want better, i will retranmit the signal receive from the tripod to my goggle on another channel using a low power tx like alreadu explain above
the headset receiver and antenna will work well if the plane stay level and stay inside 1/4 to 1/2 Km. no obstacles between you and the plane. it will also work well for r/c car because the car antenna stay vertical and generally they stay close. But if your plane bank a lot, or you want to go far with your r/c car, the reception is less good, so you need a tripod and a fix and more sensitive antenna and retransmit to the goggle
1) Be sure to mount your tripod close to the ground as possible for best signal
re: retransmit from tripod.
2) Make sure you don't walk too far away from your tripod, or you will never noticed if some bratty kid on a bike could sweep by and scoop up your unit. Then not only do you have to leave your trunk open for those Gabriel landings, but you may have to leave the driver door open as well for those Batman get aways
Actually, now I'm not sure it was the battery that was giving up. The other part of the story is that I replaced the 2S lipo/linear regulator combo with a 4 cell Ni-MH pack. So not only did I replace the lipo pack, but I also bypassed the regulator. After getting home and charging the pack, I saw it only took 69 mAh to fully charge it. It's a Kokam 340 pack, so it still had plenty left in it. I'm wondering if instead the 7805 regulator started to fail in the cold.

Dog abandoned for not matching furniture
Irresponsible pet owners have abandoned their dogs because they did not match their furniture, an animal charity said today.
Others complained their dog had to go because its different-coloured eyes made it look too much like the singer David Bowie, according to the Dogs Trust.
One set of owners trying to get rid of their current pet because it was "too old" even asked staff at one of the trust's rehoming centres for a younger model.
The excuses were revealed as the trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity, listed the 10 most irresponsible reasons people have given for abandoning their dogs.
Thirty years on since the charity made famous the trademarked slogan "A dog is for life not just for Christmas", people are dumping their pets for the flimsiest of reasons - even over the festive period.
One dog was given up for eating the Christmas turkey, while another lost its home because it opened its owners' presents on Christmas Eve.
Another was abandoned because its owner accidentally knelt in its urine while cleaning up after the animal.
The trust said that although the number of dogs given as gifts has fallen over the past three decades, they amount to 131,400 animals each year.
And with the opening of "stop-and-shop" puppy superstores, people are still taking on the responsibility of dog ownership without enough consideration of what it entails.
In an effort to stop people thoughtlessly buying dogs as Christmas presents, the trust's 17 centres will stop rehoming dogs over the festive period.
People will be able to visit and reserve a dog, but they will not be able to take it home until the New Year.
Clarissa Baldwin, chief executive of Dogs Trust, said: "The 'A dog is for life, not just for Christmas' slogan is just as relevant today as it was when I created it 30 years ago.
"Some of the reasons we hear for dogs being abandoned are truly outrageous and saddening.
"Having a dog is a long-term commitment and our anniversary offers the perfect opportunity to remind people that dogs are not fashion accessories or disposable items that can be upgraded or discarded after just a few months."
The trust cares for more than 16,000 stray, unwanted and abandoned dogs each year and carries out rigorous checks to make sure the dogs are rehomed to responsible owners.
:: The 10 most irresponsible reasons given to Dogs Trust staff as to why owners could no longer look after their dog are:
1. "My dog doesn't match the sofa."
2. "The dog looks evil and has different coloured eyes, just like David Bowie."
3. "My black dog doesn't match the new white carpet, can we swap him for a white dog?"
4. "My current dog is too old, can we swap for a puppy or younger model?"
5. "My dog ate the Christmas turkey cooling on the work-top."
6. "My pet guinea pig got worried with a dog in the house."
7. "The dog opened all the presents on Christmas Eve."
8. An owner accidentally knelt in the dog's urine while cleaning it up so brought the dog in the very next day.
9. A puppy was bought as a present for an elderly couple with dementia.
10. The owner was paranoid about recent bad Press on Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and the dog was given up through no fault of its own.

Front Page: al-Qaeda Grows, Italy, and Tornadoes
- In a report to a Senate panel yesterday, the director of national intelligence, Mike McConnell, said that al-Qaeda is growing and building strength from within Pakistan. McConnell said that Osama bin Laden and his deputy were still in charge, and gaining in their ability to recruit and train new lieutenants. Al-Qaeda is concentrating on improving the last way they could attack the US: from within. This report is based on evidence that al-Qaeda might be training new Western militants, who can blend in with US society, to carry out attacks.
- Italy's President Georgio Napolitano dissolved parliament yesterday. The upheaval comes after Prime Minister Romano Prodi resigned last month, and talks to form an interim government failed. Silvio Berlusconi is already unofficially campaigning. Italy is set to hold these new elections on April 13-14, its second elections in two years.
- 47 people are dead after tornadoes raced through Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama yesterday. The twisters joined forces with harsh winter weather across the nation's midsection. During Super Tuesday speeches yesterday, candidates paused to send thoughts and prayers to those affected.

According to Chart Track, this past weekend's Sony PSP launch was officially "the most successful UK console launch ever." Despite frustrating delays, the PSP sold nearly 100,000 more units than the DS did during its UK launch. 1 in 5 buyers purchased Ridge Racer, making it the #1 best-selling game in the land—8 other PSP titles finished in the Top 10; 19 games in all in the Top 40.
The DS has a significant lead in overall sales, having moved 300,000 units in the UK to date. But software will likely decide which handheld comes out on top when the dust has settled after the coming holiday season.

"The role of hybridization in adaptive evolution is contentious. While many cases of adaptive trait introgression have been proposed, the relevant traits have rarely been identified, resulting in a lack of clear examples of this process," write the authors.
The researchers examined a northern sunflower species that had captured genes from a southern sunflower species, resulting in a stabilized hybrid, Helianthus annuus texanus, able to expand southward into central and southern Texas. They then recreated the original hybridization event by manually crossing two parent species. Not only were these hybrids resistant to the insects that attack sunflowers, they also produced more seeds than the uncrossed plants.
"The results show for the first time that adaptive trait introgression can be a potent evolutionary force, broadening our view of the mechanisms by which populations adapt to their environments," explain the authors.
Founded in 1867, The American Naturalist is one of the world's most renowned, peer-reviewed publications in ecology, evolution, and population and integrative biology research. AN emphasizes sophisticated methodologies and innovative theoretical syntheses--all in an effort to advance the knowledge of organic evolution and other broad biological principles.

Both sources really. There's no hard & fast divide as to what aspect reviewers might respond to at either venue. More often, Play Store reviews have alerted me when my device or my Android version gets poor results from an app. Granted code integrity issues are raised more frequently at XDA.
Interesting example. I will look for the article. I wonder if the app declared that permission in their Play Store disclosure. If not, it challenged Google's policing system. I read somewhere that SELinux in newer ROMs, set to "Enforcing" brokers applicable policies from each host domain and also restricts apps from exceeding their declared permissions. (See also my note on 4.3+ below)
You're welcome! Placing that trust is ultimately a leap of faith, so we ask ourselves:
Does my configuration already offer this function at the OS or existing app level?
Can I justify each declared permission here?
Is there a less invasive equivalent to this app?
Have I gone over the settings thoroughly once installed?
What does my installed anti-virus say about this?
Do I need this to auto launch or only on demand?
Is it using excessive data or uptime as I monitor?
Am I getting all the Android security I could be with my current rom image?
You get the picture. Common sense, best practices & due diligence can go a long way toward closing the security gap.
Google only exposed it (to client apps like App Ops Starter) in 4.3 & 4.4.0, before & after that I believe an Xposed Framework module is the main alternative.
Thanks again!
I just wanted to note that after spending some time here in the forum( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ ) looking for some intresting picks, I haven't actually encountered much comments from people that actually went over the code... so I'm a bit bummed out.
Anyway, Thank you!!!

Gears of War
Review by Architeuthis2
Reviewed: 11/22/06
A Gear by which the Machine shall be measured
Gears of War is a much anticipated game by Epic for the Xbox360, a shooter set in a futuristic (but still strangely classical) post-apocalyptic setting, pitting humans up against an underground race known as the Locusts.
Graphics: 10
I know it's a little disturbing, but the detail of the blood and gore is very impressive. No more generic red mass, but actual anatomical correctness. It really helps add immensely to the realism of it all. Water is nice, and rubble is strewn all over, meaning you'll never find a single bland area. The blood puddles are a little unrealistic and repetitive, but everything else is great. Characters are detailed and unique, and the locusts come off as extremely vile and alien, the stuff of children's nightmares.
Sound: 9
Everything sounds realistic enough, and everything makes its own unique and believable noise. The music is fitting, but you're usually so involved in that battle that you'll hardly notice it anyway. This may be a good opportunity to take advantage of the 360's in-game mp3 abilities.
Storyline: 5
So Marcus Fenix is released from four years in prison to fight the Locust invaders, yet those four years without any practice apparently haven't diminished his ability as a soldier at all. Overlook occasional contradictions such as this, and you'll find that character depth is lacking, and each soldier's personality is pretty shallow, even though spending the entire game with them should mean you get to know them a bit better, and you never grow too attached to any of them. The overall plot is decent but nothing special, and there are a lot of basic questions that never get answered. I'm sure when the sequel comes out many will be answered, but I think much more could have been explained here.
Gameplay: 10
The cover system has been done occasionally, but the way it is used in this game will (hopefully) revolutionize games, and if we're lucky we'll see future games incorporating such a feature more often. In fact, I could go so far as to say that I'll be a little disappointed when returning to games like Halo and Call of Duty where such a feature isn't available. Shooter game play is no longer just running and gunning and jump-crouching, and victory doesn't just depend on your ability to pull off headshots, but the ability to get yourself into a position where you have the advantage. You can blind fire and lob grenades from around corners without putting yourself in danger, but don't think you're safe, as the enemies are smart enough to move in on your position just as you should try to move in on theirs. The reload feature is also a very clever and well done addition to the game. You can reload at a standard pace, but pressing the reload button again at a certain time can speed up the process or - if you mistime it - result in a jam. It makes firefights much more intense, as reloading is now an actual interactive part of the game. The co-op feature is excellent and you can incorporate a whole lot more teamwork than in any other game I've played. Bring a friend along when you do the story, because that's probably the highlight of the game.
Multiplayer: 8
This is tough to review, since it can really be divided into two sections: Co-op and Versus. In versus the fact that you can both curb stomp enemies or help allies makes battles last much longer and revolve more around proper flanking, advancing, and retreating than just sitting and shooting from across the battlefield. Still, it is limited to 8 players tops, which is kind of disappointing. Given the large amount of strategy and cooperation that can be employed, I'm seeing 8 on 8 matches as being positively amazing. Also, since it involves so much more realistic military strategy it means games are no longer based on who is better with a joystick and can get more headshots, but who can outflank and outthink the other. But this is by no means a strategy game, and all this thinking only adds to the realism rather than detract from the action. Co-op is also nice, as you can really work together in many points. Occasionally the path will split and each player will take a different rout alongside an AI buddy, though even then there is frequently a window of balcony through which one player can assist the other.
Replay Value: 9
The story mode is relatively short, and is something you can easily power through in a day if you feel motivated to. No fight ever plays out exactly the same, and it's fun to see how many different strategies you can use, but that'll only keep you entertained for so long. Multiplayer would last a whole lot longer if it were 16 players maximum, but the versus mode should still keep you occupied for a while.It's something that you could pick up fresh every so often, but not something you'll be on too frequently in the long run like it is with Halo. Still going strong even after the 360 launch? I just don't see Gears lasting that long.
Closing Notes:
Of course its advertising has put us in a position where we feel obligated to compare it to Halo. Simply put, the story isn't nearly as impressive, but otherwise it is accomplished in similar ways: It took a shooter and pulled it off well. Very well. Well to the point of it being the point of reference by which all other comparable games are measured. It's something that should be a standard for every 360 owner, and whether or not it will be their favorite game ever, it's still something everyone should find worth owning.
Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Unless they take a look at the ML-1 roads that have been closed since the early 90's, nothing will change much when it comes back. They might do a little something on game retrieval and wood cutting distance from open routes, but not much more.
They will not revisit any routes closed before they started the TMP. They will absolutely not open that can of snakes because of all the other completed TMP's.
