Portraits of N. V. Gogol: 1809–1909
This collection of portraits of Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809–52) was published under the auspices of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature for the centenary of the birth of Gogolʹ, a Ukrainian-born Russian playwright, novelist, and writer of short stories. The book is divided into two parts: an annotated list of the known portraits of the writer on pages 3–15, followed by reproductions of each portrait. The portraits trace Gogol's life in chronological order, from 1827 before he was well known, until his death in Moscow in ...
Commentaries by Domizio Calderini on Works by Juvenal, Statius, Ovid, and Propertius
Under the influence of Italian humanism and of his book-collector tutor János Vitéz, the Archbishop of Esztergom, Matthias Corvinus of Hungary (1443–1490), developed a passion for books and learning. Elected king of Hungary in 1458 at the age of 14, Matthias won great acclaim for his battles against the Ottoman Turks and his patronage of learning and science. He created the Bibliotheca Corviniana, in its day one of Europe's finest libraries. After his death, and especially after the conquest of Buda by the Turks in 1541, the library ...
Minor Works of Dante Alighieri
This small manuscript, dating to the late-15th century, in Renaissance script, contains poems from the Rime (Rhymes) by the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). These are so-called minor works that are distinguished from Dante's Vita nuova (The new life), his book of sonnets recounting his early love for Beatrice, and his all-encompassing allegorical masterpiece, La divina commedia (The divine comedy). On the front cover is a 15th-century note, now almost totally faded, which states: "Di Cosimo de' Medici e degli Amici" (Belonging to Cosimo de' Medici and ...
Collection of Speeches and Latin Epistles by Renaissance Humanists
This manuscript, dating to the late-15th century, formerly belonged to the Sienese Alessandro Tegliacci, as stated in a note written on the initial page by an unknown later owner: "Dedit mihi Alex(ande)r Tegliaccius die(?) 8 decembris 1581 atque sua humanitate donavit" (Alessandro Tegliacci kindly gave this to me as a gift on December 8, 1581). The decoration on the same leaf bears the coat of arms of the Tegliacci family. Alessandro can perhaps be identified as the scholar who was called by Cosimo II to be professor of ...
Poem Concerning the Departure of the Magi
This 15th-century manuscript, in Renaissance script, contains a poetic composition (De profectione Magorum adorare Christum et de innocentibus interfectis ab Herode) by a "Gabriel Volaterranus." The author was in all likelihood Gabriello Zacchi da Volterra, the archpriest (acting dean, vicar to the bishop) of the cathedral, who was from a culturally sophisticated background and died in 1467 at the age of 33. The author dedicates the work to Tommaso del Testa Piccolomini, the secret assistant of Pope Pius II (folio 132r), to whom Pius had granted the privilege of kinship ...
Dialogues of the Gods
This manuscript contains ten of the dialogues of Lucianus, a second-century rhetorician and satirist who wrote in Greek, in the Latin version of Livio Guidolotto (also seen as Guidalotto or Guidalotti). Livio, a classical scholar from Urbino, was the apostolic assistant of Pope Leo X, and he dedicated his translation to the pope in an introductory epistle of 1518 ("Romae, Idibus maii MDXVIII"; folio 150v). The latest possible date for the manuscript thus is 1521, the year Leo died. The emblem of Giovanni de' Medici, with the beam accompanied by ...
The Spiritual Couplets
The most significant contribution of Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (popularly known in Persian as Mawlānā, and in English as Rumi, 1207–73), the renowned poet and mystic of Iran, to Persian literature may be his poetry, and especially his famous Masnavi (The spiritual couplets). This work, which is said to be the most extensive verse exposition of mysticism in any language, discusses and offers solutions to many complicated problems in metaphysics, religion, ethics, mysticism, and other fields. Masnavi highlights the various hidden aspects of Sufism and their relationship to the ...
The Book of Kings
Shahnameh Baysonqori is a copy of Shahnameh (Book of kings) composed by the highly revered Iranian poet Abū al-Qāsim Firdawsī (940–1020). The importance of Shahnameh in the Persian-speaking world is comparable that of Homer's epics in the West. The book recounts in verse the mythological history of ancient Persia and tales of the famous heroes and personalities of Iranian history, from legendary times to the 7th-century reign of Yazdgerd III, the last king of the Sassanid dynasty. The tales are based on earlier historical works, but are mixed ...
The Book of Calixto and Melibea and of the Old Whore Celestina
La Celestina is undoubtedly one of the greatest bestsellers in Spanish literature. It is said to have been printed in more than 200 early editions, although fewer than half of these have survived. The work, by Fernando de Rojas (died 1541), began as a comedy in 16 acts, which was extended to 21 acts in the tragicomedy, which became the popular version. In addition to being published throughout Spain, the Spanish text was printed in Lisbon, Rome, Venice, Milan and Antwerp. Early translations into Italian, French, German, English, and Dutch ...
Etymologiae (Etymology) is the best known work by Saint Isidore of Seville (circa 560–636), a scholar and theologian considered the last of the great Latin Church Fathers. It takes its name from a method of teaching that proceeds by explaining the origins and meaning of each word related to a topic. Saint Isidore drew on many different sources in his attempt to summarize all ancient knowledge and save it for posterity. The fame of the work led to it being widely copied and disseminated, and its popularity lasted even ...
Bucolics, Georgics, and the Aeneid
This 15th-century manuscript, known as the Riccardiana Virgil, includes the texts of the three extant works of the great Roman poet Virgil, the Bucolics, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, and contains 88 miniature paintings in the lower margin of many of the vellum leaves. The miniatures, 86 in the Aeneid and one each in the Bucolics and the Georgics, are attributed to Florentine artist Apollonio di Giovanni and his workshop. Those illustrating the story of Aeneas reflect the influence of Benozzo Gozzoli, who in 1459 completed a suite of frescos ...
The Divine Comedy
This celebrated manuscript of the Commedia of Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) containing the complete text of the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio was copied in the hand of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–75) and is one of the most splendid manuscripts in the collection of the Biblioteca Riccardiana. Boccaccio illustrated the manuscript with five pen drawings in the lower margin of a series of leaves in the Inferno. These images were authenticated in 1992 by the noted Florentine scholar Maria Grazia Ciardi Duprè dal Poggetto. The most complete drawing depicts Dante in ...
Priest Puncho Miscellany of 1796
This intriguing manuscript was written in the vernacular Bulgarian of the late 18th century and was intended to be printed. The content of the manuscript consists of literary texts compiled from older manuscripts, Russian printed books, apocrypha, a reworked version of the first real Bulgarian chronicle, Paisiĭ Khilendarski's Istoriia slavianobolgarskaia (Slaveno-Bulgarian history), as well as texts of unspecified or unknown origin. The illumination, although stylistically naive, is very rich. It includes two self-portraits of the scribe and compiler Puncho, together with numerous miniatures, some of them with unusual iconography ...
Bashkioi Copy of "Slaveno-Bulgarian History"
This handwritten copy of Paisiĭ Khilendarski's Istoriia slavianobolgarskaia (Slaveno-Bulgarian history) was made in 1841 by the priest Vasilii Manuilov. In addition to the main text, the manuscript contains accounts of two miracles of the Holy Mother. First published in 1762, Paisiĭ's history encouraged the Bulgarians, who had been under Ottoman rule for centuries, to discover their national consciousness and to embrace the Bulgarian language. The work was so influential that it was copied by hand and excerpted many times without Paisiĭ being identified as the author or his ...
Jerusalem Delivered
La Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem delivered) is a verse epic by the late-Renaissance Italian poet Torquato Tasso (1544–95). Written in the eight-line stanzas common to Italian Renaissance poetry, Tasso's masterpiece is known for the beauty of its language, profound expressions of emotion, and concern for historical accuracy. The subject of the poem is the First Crusade of 1096–99 and the quest by the Frankish knight Godfrey of Bouillon to liberate the sepulcher of Jesus Christ. Tasso was born in Sorrento, in the Kingdom of Naples, and his interest ...
Known as the "exercise book of the Idylls," this autograph manuscript of the great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi (1798–1837) is preserved at the National Library of Naples. It consists of a booklet with lined pages, on which the author's handwriting stands out sharp and clear. The booklet constitutes the basic draft of Leopardi's Idilli (Idylls), composed between 1819 and 1821. Included are La ricordanza (The remembrance) which later was titled Alla luna (To the moon), L'Infinito (The infinite), Lo spavento notturno (Nocturnal fright), Sera del giorno ...
The Lusiads
Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads) is the national epic of Portugal. Written by the poet, soldier, and sailor Luís de Camões (circa 1524–80) and first published in 1572, it celebrates the great Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (1469–1524) and the achievements of Portugal (known during the Roman Empire as the province of Lusitania, hence the title) and its people in venturing out into the Atlantic, rounding the tip of Africa, and forging a path to the East Indies. Manuel de Faria e Sousa (1590–1649) was a Portuguese historian ...
Anthology of Ḥakīm Ruknā Masīḥ
This diwan (a collection of poems in Arabic or Persian, usually by a single author) of Persian poems by physician and poet Ḥakīm Ruknā Masīḥ dates from 1638. "Ḥakīm" is an honorific for a wise man or physician. "Masīḥ" (the Christian), which appears elsewhere in the manuscript, was a pen name of the author. It is believed that the poems were dictated by the author to his calligrapher. The manuscript is in four sections, containing qasidas (odes), ghazals (lyric poems), rubaiyat (quatrains), and muqatta't (poetic fragments). The first two ...
The First Folio of Shakespeare
Printed in the large "folio" size, the First Folio is the first collected edition of the plays of William Shakespeare. It was put together after his death in 1616 by two fellow actors, John Heminge and Henry Condell, and was published in 1623. The book contains the complete text of 36 of Shakespeare's plays. The principal publishers were Edward Blount (1565–1632), a London bookseller and publisher, and Isaac Jaggard (died 1627), son of William Jaggard (circa 1568–1623), a printer and publisher long associated with Shakespeare, who died ...
Titus Andronicus
This 1594 copy of Titus Andronicus is the only known copy of this quarto in existence, and, along with a version of Henry VI, Part 2 from the same year, is the earliest extant printed Shakespeare play. Quartos printed after about 1598 often display the name William Shakespeare; as this is an earlier quarto, the name of the acting company is shown instead. Quarto editions of the plays, which began to appear in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, were inexpensive and were sold unbound, sometimes in small numbers ...
Collected Poems of Aisha Durrani
This work is a lithographic print, published in Kabul, of the collected poems of 'Āyisha Durrānī, an Afghan poetess from the Durrani family, who was active in the second half of the 19th century. The poems include qasidas (a lyric form) and ghazals (a metrical form expressing the pain of loss and the beauty of love), and are arranged alphabetically according to qāfiya (the effect of rhyme). The collection was compiled during the reign of 'Abd al-Raḥmān Khān, emīr of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901. The Durrani family led a ...

Recipe by DENISE00
"Beef and sausage star in these mini pizzas on cocktail rye bread. These can be placed on a cookie sheet, frozen then placed in freezer bags until ready to bake."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound ground beef
1 pound fresh, ground pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
10 ounces processed American cheese, cubed
32 ounces cocktail rye bread
You can freeze in advance and then pop them out frozen and reheat in a 350 degree over for 20-25 minutes. Great to have on hand for last minute appetizers.
Very good & easy to make ahead. I added a can of pizza sauce and used processed cheese with pepperoni in it. Made topping the day before and just put it on the bread and heated before the party. Put shredded mozzarella on top before baking. Used cocktail rye and mini pitas. Would make again.

A hit with kids and adults at a small get together my husband and I had. We weren't able to find the rye squares at the store that day, so we cut slices of rye bread up in fourths, added some pizza sauce to the bread before adding the topping, and topped with a bit of parm and mozz. They were great!
These are addictive! My mom has my family hooked on these. Use Jimmy Dean sage sausage ('lite' if you're feel'in guilty LOL), add some chopped cilantro and chopped garlic to cooking mixture) This recipe accounts for about 3 added lbs this holiday!
Very good.It is so good that i made 17 at a party once i went to the washroom and came back and there is none left!(there were only 6 people at the party!)
Yummy Yummy! These were very good. I used American cheese slices instead of Velveeta type cheese, because that's what I had on hand. I also mixed in a little pizza sauce with everything else, but it probably didn't make much difference. 12 min. is plenty unless you like them more crisp.
These were really good and a easy appetizer. I don't think pizza is a good name for them though. i couldn't find cocktail rye bread so I used pumpernickle and they were delicious.
I love these! My mom used to make these all the time when I was young,we always begged for them! Can't wait to make them myself.

LightWave - is this possible?
is it possible to take the animations from one model and use it for another?
i have several models that use the same skeleton and i was wandering if i could take the walking animation for one and use it for the others. i use LightWave 9.0-9.4 depending on whether or not I'm at school, but usually 9.0. if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. |
7th April 2012, 04:13 AM | #2 |
if the skeleton is identicle and the weightmaps are the same, i guess the load items from scene would bring the animations with it, there are tutorials about using pre made skelletons but have not done it myself, but i guess what i am saying is it should be possible, just may need a little research.

I have to think that it would be a lot like using BVH files to add animation sequences to a standard rig. I believe Rebel Hill has some video tutorials on it, and I would think that the process would work fine for you. (you can find his stuff on YouTube - just do a quick search!)
7th April 2012, 09:15 AM | #4 |
Depends on how the skeletons are rigged to the model, I suppose. I seem to recall doing some stuff years ago where I could just replace the mesh with a new one, while leaving the skeleton as-is. The only thing I had to do was reassign the weight maps.
There's going to be some tweaking, adjustments, and some manual labor involved in moving a rig from one mesh to another, but it's definitely possible. |

In Layout, look at the File Menu. Under Save there is Save Motion File and under Load there is Load Motion File. As far as I know this is on a per bone basis, which means, whichever bone is selected is the only bone you will save a motion file for.
As long as you save all of the motion files for a single skeleton into the same folder and give each file the same name as a bone, you'll be okay. Yes, this is still a bit of work, but it's faster than setting up the key frames all over again. The beauty of this system is that the skeletons don't need to be identical. Let's say you created a hand opening cycle for a human character with five fingers and want to use it on a cartoon character with three fingers. Since you will load the motion files one bone at a time, you don't need to load the files for the fourth and fifth fingers. I believe it works best if the bones are the same length, rest position and rest rotation, but a little experimentation may prove otherwise. |
Those who say it can't be done, should stop interrupting those of us who are busy doing it! ------------------------------------------------------------ Other Projects The Universal Joint Beechcraft 2000 airplane LadyBug (Firefly class freighter) |

OP (Overpowered)
BL (Borderline)
UP (Underpowered)
From my little experience with him, I think he has the potential to be really really broken. I feel like he's a little savage diamond waiting to be discovered, and then nerfed heavily. I say this if only because of the current state of bulwark/deso and his capacity to really use these items.
Time will only tell!
I also believe that, i owned some games with him, once one of my teamates got sol's and i got Deso i was one shoting (or almost) a lot of people with his stun.
But that doesn't adress his problem, his drinking ... it is the most boring mechanic ever and really slows him down in ganks. Buff his drinking and debuff his ult, he does not need the 75% IAS.
I read a pretty good suggestion in the thread, make all levels of drink add a flat 16 charges, you could store up to 30 charges, levels in drink increase the regen and decrease cooldown. Your skills would not consume charges anymore, instead you would only need to have that number of charges to have the buff, no more charges from alies deaths the decrease CD and increased cap in charges would be enough to keep him drunk in mid game with more levels in drink.
What about moving his IAS from his ult to his drink? 2% IAS for every charge? That would sum a max of 60% IAS. Maybe slow the degen on charges? Drinking is boring and should be minimized or reworked completely.
Any thoughts?

I guess I should chime in on a thread that I more or less wanted started.
Drunken master serves largely as a physical damage dealer and a tank (for lack of a better word) in team fights, able to disable one enemy for a short period of time. The only problem is that he requires constant upkeep in the form of drink to be useful, and it's also channeling. Furthermore, since his damage is physical in nature he loses effectiveness as the game goes on unless -armor items are gotten/-armor abilities are used. Yeah, he can potentially do a lot of damage if he gets -armor items like shieldbreaker or sol's, but so can a lot of other heroes that can do his job better by doing some significant aoe damage, such as Kraken, Armadon, Panda, and Pestilence, to name a few.
He needs something to put him on par with other heroes. His ultimate is great and lasts a whopping 10 seconds at level 3, but the most effective part of it is the nullstone effect, and smart opponents will simply avoid casting spells on him for the duration. Stagger and Lunge also scale linearly with his attack damage as X + A, instead of having a scalar multiplier like Panda, a hero he is perhaps most equatable to.
Definately a strong hero, can't tell yet though if he's imbalanced.. Seems to fit in a lot of lineups and his q in lane is just awesome. His mana usage seems pretty balanced.
And gg if you run for his whole ult duration, i think it's pretty strong. I mean, you stagger and lunge combo on someone.. they have to waste stuff on you because if they don't you kick someone into your team.
I don't know why you guys complain about his charges, you don't even need them to do useful stuff.. and at later level it's just not hard at all to keep up. I'd skip the charges untill you get at least 2-3 levels (maybe even max them out first, but im still fooling around with builds on him) in q and e, way more useful imho. (better to save your mana for those 2 skills imo)
Drunken charges are pretty useless at lvl 1-2 though. They fall off so quickly, it's basically a mana for hp swap (this might be intended, don't know).
He has SUCH strong skills on such a low cooldown, I don't know why you guys wanna buff him. This hero is like monkey king on steroids, Mk MkII.
(gonna play him a lot more coming time and see if he's OP.. this guy just has a lot of *hey try to stop me or else I'm gonna get one of your team killed* -> *oh you tried to stop me? I'm sorry.. can't stop me ^^* going for him)
tldr: Definately not in need of a buff. Though I guess the channeling time or something on charges could use some scaling (or they rethink the whole scaling of it w/e).

he's too powerful, mainly because of his ability to skip survivability items
his ult makes him very hard for most teams to target, so he can just get bulwark and shieldbreaker. With these items he does incredible damage and is outstanding at killing support heroes
the damage on Q should be reduced, and his ult cooldown should be increased
I very rarely lose games when I pick him
After playtesting skipping the survivability items and going straight to shieldbreaker and sol's gotta say he is probably just fine, with the exception of the highly irritating drink mechanic that doesn't last nearly long enough. He just sobers up way too fast.
I love drunken master, but I don't think that he is really balanced, and I agree that the drink mechanic (The fact that you have to stop) is less fun than it could be.
One of the big things I find about him is that he is hard as hell to harass out of a lane 1v1 if he is leveling drink at all. At level 2 drink, you can accrue enough charges to last the cooldown duration, which gives him 25 / 3 = 8.33 (+2.0 base with the recent melee regen change) = 10.3 health regen at level 3. Just for reference, Ra with level 2 of Ashes to Ashes and a :Lifetube: has 9.0 regen.
I made a suggestion regarding Drink when they originally asked for feedback when he came out that I feel would make it more fun, but not really change unbalance it. From (Suggestion, not really balance discussion ensues)
Now, the fact that I think he is slightly overpowered might be influenced by the fact that my win percentage with him is 86%, and that I just went 21/0 with him though (Mind you in the 1600-1700 bracket). http://replays.heroesofnewerth.com/m...p?mid=63819921

I don't think everyone understands how powerful drink is. It is 25 health every 3 seconds which is about same as ra's passive. the mana cost is low as well.
My point is that he can really take a lot of harass. My problem with him is that he obviously gains alot from levels and he can stand in mid forever practically, but he is really awful to gank with until lvl 8 or even 9 with my build (1,3,4,1). He suffers from the same as flux imo, he really needs to level up several skills before even one of them is useful, which is very different from mid heroes in general and is bad for teamplay.
My other point is the ultimate. Versus some teams this is completely game breaking. at lvl 16 he has a 1/3 of the time permanent nullstone with 40% damage reduction. For drink to be buffed to not annoying he will have to lose something.
Drink isn't weak, it's just impractical to use, which creates a weakness for a hero, especially when he's melee and needs to stand next to someone. The fact that you want to have it on you at all times because it buffs your other skills doesn't really help the skill either.

Rabbagast, I've been trying shield/hatchet/runes-> bottle mid on him with quite the succes on drunken, skipping w untill q & e are maxxed out. Though you won't be killing every hero you're up against and there are other heros that can use levels as well, this guy is certainly a decent mid. His e helps getting to the rune faster as well.
I can't decide yet if it's a waste to not let him lane with heros like glac/pr/slither etc.
Anyway, herp derp heros like arma and ctulu (auras and aoes) are pretty good vs drunken in teamfights. Gonna play him more still, and find out if there's actually a real/decent counter to drunken.
The one downfall of DM is that he REALLY needs a level advantage to wtf rape people, if he is kept down early game he is quite weak, he really needs phase boots+sols by 15-18 mins to WTFOWN people, but the upside is with Drink and his awesome attack animation he gets last hits easy peasy and is very hard to bully out of a lane.
I'd say the hero is balanced, I personally think drink is fine, maybe have a chance to generate like 1-2 bonus charges if you kill a creep or something but meh, i've no issue with the skill
Ok, after playing him quite a lot I can tell he really needs that early advantage (either solo lane or some kills/freefarm) to be able to do much. He just can't take over games like certain other heros (ranged semi carries herp derp >.>) can with the same amount of xp/gold.
And there's quite a lot of heros that will aoe him down, regardless of his nullstone and damage reduction. Combine that with the push/aoe fest the metagame is shifting to (in which he doesn't really fit), I'd have to conclude this hero is balanced. Strong in certain areas, definately lacking in others.
But..! Surely a strong hero, stronger than a lot of heros in the pool.. he just doesn't fit in/against certain lineups.
Conclusion: A solid, borderline op, yet situational hero. (haven't seen or played him in trilanes though, wonder if he would fit in there with his kick)
Drink totally goes against his whole concept, which is making a flowy hero that is able to dish out damage while jumping around and disjointing everything. That said, he can dish out stupid amounts of dps. The aformentioned bulwark + shieldberaker combo is pretty ridiculous, not to mention an item like riftshards allows his lunge to crit (twice!) while at the same time being very tanky. In fact, the only reason he wasn't seen much competitively was probably because he's melee.
It'd be nice to allow him to move while drinking and be disarmed and silenced while doing so or something. Least you'd feel less vulnerable. His dps can be toned down in exchange for this.
I agree with this. Ive played a ton of drunken recently and he can be ridiculously
good against certain line ups. Aoe stuns can really hinder him in certain situations, but thats probably the only thing that keeps him from being overpowered. He ganks, carries and tanks at a high level and while there are obviously heroes that can gank carry or tank better i dont believe any of them can do them all at the same time with the efficiency that drunken can. Eventually i predict some nerfs heading his way once more people understand his style and see his full potential. Drink really isnt as bad as it used to be and gaining 4 drunk charges when an enemy hero dies near him really helps his endurance in a team fight so in conclusion i will also say borderline op.
I don't think he is UP at all. His skill set is quite strong despite his reliance on drunk charges. Lunge is a very powerful skill early, Stagger seems a bit of a filler on its own but combined with drink it can be very powerful. Drink is a little annoying and breaks down the flow considering you have to pause to channel but eh, even then he is quite strong.

In the right line up or counter picked against the right line up, he would seem incredibly OP.
Based on competitive players' streams, some of them seem aware of this and some don't. "S2'd" has become the default excuse for losing to any lineup with an S2 hero in it.
Very powerful displacement abilities and physical disables in addition to a very spammable disjoint and repositioning/damage skill. Those are just the two regulars. When taking his Ultimate into account, you now have a force who has a massive resistance to AOE damage (huge strategy still), cannot be targeted (I'm sure you can also disjoint via his Ultimate) and can block projectiles.
With massive survivability, why would you even want to focus him down? Oh wait, because his skills become more spammy, his Lunge scales, and his low CDs in fights can ensure he can crush squishies and problematic people while the real carry can go in.
For great power in his 3 skills, he has to give in some where, and thus Drink was born. If a fight goes well, Drink is inconsequential and if it doesn't go well, he gets punished for it. Yes, Drink is garbage until level 3 and 4, but that is what makes him a midgame carry and a late game pain in the $^#@.
I don't feel that an initiator role is what he is, he is more of a ganker/midgame snowball semi-carry.
Oh, and has it been mentioned that he rips certain popular lineups and disables to shreds? As a personal note, he has a lot of potential, just the comp. scene has yet to really shine the dirt off the diamond and decide to put it down and go carve the shining PR, Polly etc. that they currently have.
And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare.
Nightmare was nothing compared to the true horror, the crawling chaos peering into our hearts and simply whispering, 'Join me'.
Yeh... I was, for a lack of better words, shocked that people called a super tank that is always hasted and has the ability to 2 shot support UP. I also don't quite understand how people complain about his drink charges. Personally, I feel like it keeps him in check, similiar to SS and his souls. I've never even had a problem with drink myself sooo.
Don't change this hero please he's already broken. Has a decent farming mechanic, is damn near impossible to harass out of lane, and has crazy kill potential with his rambo-like-playstyle. 10 second null + haste = $$$?
Edit: Jesus not to mention his disjoint and ability to push enemy heroes back into you're team or away from a rune. Jesus yall are crazy. <3 S2 I can honestly say that if they keep adding heroes like DB, MK, Midas, etc I won't be going to dota 2. Bet nooone have ever heard that before.

I love . Drink + Stagger = Impossible to gank or run away from. Built in health regen and damage boost. 1.5 sec stun with ability to knock back in any direction while dealing enhanced damage AND slowing. Quite the DPS on this hero. He is good at all levels of the game. Once he gets picked more don't be surprised by cries of OP... I don't think he's OP. He is a strong hero that requires decent farm to take over the mid to late game.
Here I am smurfing on him just to try him out:
Moving over to my main account:
Not saying this proves anything but I've found success in solo MM with this hero.

When police arrived to the scene they found a 25-year-old victim in extremely critical condition, but the driver who hit him had driven away, said Lt. Josh Scharman of the Salt Lake City Police Department.
The man was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased, he said.
Police are looking for a newer model white minivan, which they believe could have been involved in the incident.
"It is not clear if the minivan was involved in the accident, or if it was a witness," said Scharman. "Either way, we hope the driver will contact us and help with the investigation."
Anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact Salt Lake City Police at (801) 799-3000.

Changes for the 2014 Jeep Wrangler include a Freedom Edition and a Rubicon X special edition for even more adventuresome off-roading. A Trail Kit includes a tow strap, D-rings, gloves and a carrying bag, and the Sport is available with 32-inch tires.
Improvements for the 2013 Wrangler include new seats with larger side bolsters, additional interior lighting and an available Alpine speaker system. Changes to the soft top make it easier for one person to operate, and there is a new premium cloth option that is easier to clean and triple-layered for better sound deadening.
The improvements found in the 2012 Jeep Wrangler can be summed up with one number: 285. That horsepower figure, from a new (for the Wrangler SUV) 3.6-liter V6, constitutes a 40-percent improvement as compared to its 202-horsepower predecessor. And when connected to the Wrangler's new five-speed automatic (a six-speed manual transmission is the standard gearbox), the powertrain produces both better performance (zero-to-60 times are improved by two to three seconds) and fuel efficiency.
After decades of development and history, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler SUV remains faithfully true to its hard-earned and thoroughly-deserved reputation as the universal standard for off-road vehicles. The Jeep Wrangler line offers something for everybody, from a basic 2-door Sport with a soft top, to the go-where-the-trails-aren't Rubicon. If you need more room the longer Wrangler Unlimited offers four doors and other features, but with the same level of off-road prowess. The engine is Chrysler's highly-commendable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which delivers plenty of power and noteworthy fuel economy, and the Wrangler is also one of the few remaining vehicles that's available with a manual transmission. That's why we named it one of the 10 Best SUVs Under $25,000 for 2014.

While the band's previous records boasted meticulously crafted symphonic pop, this time around the band turns up the guitars and delivers a truly great cathartic rock 'n' roll album played with near reckless abandon and passion.
With the addition of new drummer Eric Slick and electronics-percussionist-guitarist Dimitri Manos, the band entered the studio (Meth Beach) with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and confidence, tracking the songs live to perfectly capture the rough and tumble energy of their renowned live show.
"We would just get in the pocket and go with it because it sounded great," bassist-vocalist Toby Leaman explains. "There wasn't this endless deliberating. We just went with our gut feelings on things."
"It was reminiscent of when we were starting out and were these fearless weirdoes in a basement, so confident and reckless and bold," guitarist-vocalist Scott McMicken adds. "It was really liberating."
The songs on Be The Void flawlessly combine Dr. Dog's adventuresome and expansive arrangements with a far leaner and meaner primal sound. The beats are harder, the guitars louder and edged with a warm distortion. "Guitars stopped being problematic and started becoming very exciting to us," McMicken explains.
From the rollicking re-imagined blues of the disc's opening track to the searing guitars of "Vampire," the frenetic punk urgency of "Over Here Over There" and the beautifully fuzzed out rock of "Warrior Man," Dr. Dog's Be The Void is a truly great rock 'n' roll record and the unmistakable sound of a band whose moment has arrived.

Many small businesses are like whirlwinds being ridden by their founders, who are attempting, with varying degrees of success, to exert some control over it. And while the attempts at control take on many forms, including managing cash flow, leading people, increasing sales, growing market share, etc., occasionally the owner asks in an almost rhetorical lament, "How do I get off of this thing for a little while?"
Indeed, perhaps the greatest long-term challenge in the life of a small business owner is not sales, profits, personnel or capitalization, but rather being able to successfully dismount the tornado to achieve some balance between professional and personal life. So how do you accomplish this dismount without creating a casualty list? Consider these five steps.
Define Success
Webster's offers two definitions of success: 1) a favorable outcome or result; 2) gaining wealth, fame, rank, etc. In order to take more time off from a successful business, embrace both definitions as twin goals of equal value; in the process, you'll begin to recognize that living long enough to enjoy the fruits of the second definition with your loved ones must be part of your success definition.
Hire Quality
Taking time off requires being able to leave your business with a trustworthy team. If the business is mature enough for you to unplug periodically but you're still not comfortable with the idea, your instincts are probably good, but your hiring practices probably aren't.
Next time you consider hiring someone, part of your criteria should include viewing this new person as a potential contributor to that trustworthy team. Don't wait until there's an opening to begin this process; start looking now for weak links and begin the process of strengthening the team chain with higher quality replacements.
Now that you've assembled that trustworthy team, their usefulness is limited if you don't delegate. If you built your business from scratch, delegating probably won't come easy; you've done all of the jobs and you know how you want them done. And even as employees have assumed some of these tasks, you've found comfort in knowing that as long as you're nearby, things can't get too far off track. Have your employees follow up with you on a regular basis.
There is an old saying that successful delegators must embrace: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." In 21st-century terms, if you cringe at the thought of how things won't be perfect in your absence, get over it.
Leverage Technology
No one has to be completely unplugged anymore. There is plenty of affordable connectivity technology that will serve as your security blankie by helping you keep an eye on the store without actually being there. And if you're really good, no one will notice that you checked your BlackBerry or iPhone while rolling over to tan the other side. You can also consider having key employees e-mail daily updates by a set time so you can check your inbox less often.
Value Balance
Remember our twin goals of success? If you're not intentional about living a balanced life, you may accomplish the "wealth and fame" part of your success goal, but the celebration may involve others toasting you posthumously.

TABOR CITY - Residents of Waterbrooke Assisted Living, an 80-bed facility in operation for nearly three decades, were told Thursday night that they would be relocated by Saturday.
Residents said they were not given a specific reason, but were told the facility will be closed for health and safety reasons.
An issue involving bed bugs at the facility was discovered this week, and inspectors with the Columbus County Health Department confirmed the problem Thursday, Health Director Kim Smith said.
Smith, who was out of town Thursday night, said she was not aware that state officials would order residents out Thursday night.
Columbus County Department of Social Services officials were on site Thursday to assist residents with relocation, a state Department of Health and Human Services official said. She referred questions to the department's public information officer, but only provided an office number in Raleigh, which went to voicemail Thursday night.
Some residents said the facility is in need of repair and that owners have not maintained it well. Others said they did not want to leave.
"This is my best friend," Karen Hayes, 57, a Tabor City area native said, breaking into sobs. "I may never see her again." That friend, Hilda Cable, 75, got up and embraced Hayes, trying to console her.
"This is unfair," Hayes said. "I love it here. It's not unsafe."
Minnie Horne, 58, said the facility has needs and that manager Sharon Crawford "does the best she can with what she has," but there never seems to be money for needed repairs.
"I sleep in the living room, because I'm scared to go in my room," Horne said. "People come in. The doors don't lock."
Crawford, reached late Thursday night, said, "I've got my hands full right now," and said she might be available today to answer questions.
Originally constructed as the 40-bed Columbus Cove Rest Home in 1986, the number of beds there doubled later, and the name changed over the years to Pinedale Residential, then to Waterbrooke in 2005.

MIDIbox CV V2 Concept
Posted 23 January 2012 - 00:16
Posted 24 January 2012 - 17:42
The bassline sequencer is up&running!
- each CV channel has a dedicated sequencer (-> 8 bassline sequencers are running in parallel)
- typical 303ish entry with Key/Octave/Gate/Glide/Accent
- optionally sequenced values can be entered directly (fader at the left side) for direct CV modulation independent from note values
- 8 sequences per channel, each sequence has 32 steps
- EnvMod and Accent are forwarded to the modulation matrix
- selectable resolutions (e.g. 96th, 48th, 32th, 16th... but also triple and dotted measures)
- selectable gatelength (used for all steps)
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 05:17
Haha no shit, this looks amazing!
Posted 23 February 2012 - 18:02
I almost missed this point, wow cool! Do you think we could get into quantising external CV signals? That would be killerBut the possibility to route analog input signals into the modulation matrix is on the agenda
So my suggestion I've not seen in the thread yet would be to also support some analogue trigger in and outs, for example to sync external analogue LFOs, sequencers etc.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 23:12
Any new updates?
Posted 26 April 2012 - 23:18
There is still no HW control surface, but I will probably implement another editor with Ctrlr so that MBCV can be configured with a common computer as well.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Posted 27 April 2012 - 15:51
Even if we could re-use the mb-6582 control surface PCB as one potential mb-cv2 control surface, it would be good. (I'd like more sets of knobs, personally, as tweaking two filters or two envelopes at the same time is quite common). The ability to do that and record all the knob twists to a track would be amazing! The ability to record and replicate anything I do w/ my modular in the MIDI realm would be amazing .
Posted 27 April 2012 - 15:57
I'm personally more interested in the physical control surface. I like to play my synths like instruments.. (very hands on.. I dislike screens and menus when it comes to my old analog gear)

I agree with you, but I'm pretty sure TK is planning on a physical control surface. He just wanted to get the basic design down where it is more fluid and cheaper (in software). Even if he doesn't, I wouldn't think it would be too difficult for someone else to add.
For today, though, you can accomplish basically the same thing with a MIDI controller and CTRLR and could even build a customer MIDIBox controller if you so desired. You could even put those two things together in the same box such that the difference would be almost indistinguishable from a native control surface.

Building a new semi-modular synth around this midibox cv2 project seems like a very good idea, though.
I might have the wrong idea about this project, though. Since I found this thread from the other post where the guy was asking about some SID functionality, the first thing that popped in my head was patch recall. Basically, I was thinking i'd sort of permanently assign cv outs to osc's, filters, vca's, etc. Then be able to adjust all the settings and save it as a patch. Basically a little synth like the sid, only all analog. (and only one voice, instead of 4(or8))
Is that possible, or have a gone too far outside of the "midi-cv" box?
-Edit, I just read the midi-cv page and it has answered a lot of questions, and I see it's basically designed w/ patch recall in mind. This new one w/ the LFOs and EG's and all is a LOT more useable in that area, tho.. I'm excited!

I don't have one yet (the old or new MBCV), but to my knowledge, you're not too far off. The new MBCV will have patch recall, in addition to LFOs and all sorts of fancy things. It will eventually also have a hardware control surface option (but the software control surface is being designed first). Obviously you still need something that makes noise and speaks CV but sounds like you already have that covered.

If you've got a little 3 osc synth, I can think of a lot of reasons you'd want to be able to fade each osc in/out of the mix. Would u rather have 3 VCF's or 3 VCA's? (Trying to think of a good way to assign the 8 available cv's)
so like, 3xOSC to 3x filters to mixer to one VCA, or 3xOSC to 3xVCA to mixer to one filter.. then maybe a final vca?

My personal opinion on that is that analog filters make me really excited. So I will always pick VCF first I think. My application will be for an external filter for my SID and GameBoy so I will be adding additional capabilities as opposed to going all analog and won't have too much of a problem there. I do eventually want to move to an analog modular setup (or something like that).
Either way, you could always, in the worst case, just build multiple MBCVs if you need more CV inputs. I would think, in that case, having a 3xOSC, 3xVCA in one, and VCF's in another would make the most sense? I suppose that's not quite as ideal as it could be but still rather flexible I would think.

If it could be possible to do that and save it all under one patch, w/ one "brain".. (I need to read up on MB stuff again )
That would be great!! (But I'm kind of liking the new simple semi-modular synth idea right now.. My modular has grown to the size of my first apartment, and can't leave the house. A little midi-capable analog synth w/ all these time synchronized lfo's and eg's would be amazing (still 16cv's vs the 8 would be ideal))

Could be an amazing hybrid Digi osc/Analogue filter hybrid, all it would need is for this to be modded slightly to have a MIDI out to trigger the Bassboys and the ability to add 12 controls for the Bassboys
Posted 14 September 2012 - 22:30
since on year I try to get some buchla modules done, but unfortunately things go slow. One module will be a midi2cv module. So I follow this thread since the beginning with a lot of pleasure.
Last Christmas I got the iPad2 and I use it a lot for music and all sort of things.
Since I got an lpc17 core module for my seq4 and an old aout cv interface ( max525) I was very happy to see this development here with the new midi2cv module.
I bought lemur (most expensive app ever) and tried the new midi2cv v2 app trough the websvn. It worked very unstable like described in an other topic, because of an broken aout driver. I waited a couple of month (went to china in the summer) and then Since the last update it works beautyfull and it is absolutely incredible to sit in front of my modular and have my iPad in my hand and control CVs, without any cable. Very nice. Thank you Thorsten for that experience.
After some time playing around I thought it would be nice to play with the multiball object which is inside lemur and to have a simple keyboard.
I looked at the code inside the lemur midi2cv file and figured out some things. But as so often not enough. Multiball is sending data to the same address as the octave knob for example. I works but not nice.
I am absolutely at he beginning to dig in but I don't understand this whole OSC NRPN thing. I just don't know what the core understand. And because i have a hard time scripting as well we understand each other not so good.
I found nothing in the forum about this so I need to ask here and hope for support. At the moment I am really stuck at the point to program a button in lemur which sends a note_on to the core which updates the cv of channel 1 and sets the gate1 high.
Thanks for all your enlightment in this matter.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 20:33
glad to hear that you already managed to get to this point!
The low-level function which sends NRPN controllers is sendNRPN(nrpnNumber, nrpnValue)
Both parameters are 14 bits.
decl chn = 0; decl nrpnNumberMsb = (nrpnNumber >> 7) & 0x7f; decl nrpnNumberLsb = (nrpnNumber >> 0) & 0x7f; decl nrpnValueMsb = (nrpnValue >> 7) & 0x7f; decl nrpnValueLsb = (nrpnValue >> 0) & 0x7f; if( nrpnNumberMsb != lastNrpnAddressMsb ) { lastNrpnAddressMsb = nrpnNumberMsb; midiout(0, {0xb0 + chn, 0x63, nrpnNumberMsb}); } if( nrpnNumberLsb != lastNrpnAddressLsb ) { lastNrpnAddressLsb = nrpnNumberLsb; midiout(0, {0xb0 + chn, 0x62, nrpnNumberLsb}); } midiout(0, {0xb0 + chn, 0x06, nrpnValueMsb}); midiout(0, {0xb0 + chn, 0x26, nrpnValueLsb}); oscout(0, '/1/nrpn', {nrpnNumber, nrpnValue});
As you can see, there is a check if the last MSB or LSB of the address byte has already been sent.
Both variables need to be initialized in - this is done in resetNRPN(), called from init() - and init() will be executed "on load" as you can see in the Execution field.
// initialize with invalid values lastNrpnAddressLsb = 0xff; lastNrpnAddressMsb = 0xff;
This should do the trick in a new panel.
If you doing modifications in my own panel, I would propose to call sendCVNRPN(), because it adds the selected channel to the NRPN number.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Posted 21 September 2012 - 15:23
thanks for your answer and help.
during the week i managed to work on my code every day for a few hours. I found out a couple of things. First thing i wanted to build was this standard keyboard:
Since i could`t find anything about note_on and NRPN a tried the: Note Events: /<chn>/note <key-number> <velocity> line found at the "MIDIO128 V3" under "Supported OSC Packet Formats" page.
oscout(0, /1/note, {value, value2}); --> sends out a noteon with the note (value) and velocity (value2)
oscout(0, /1/note, {48, x}); --> sends out a noteon with the note 48 and x = (1) button pressed: velocity (1) (Gate high) () and x=0 button depressed: velocity (0) (Gate low). As long as the script is connected to "On Expression" and (x).
With this i managed to get to this code for the white and black keys. It is heavily copied from the Sequencer keys and i guess is too complicated. But it works. Only drawback so far is that there is sometimes no Note_off and the gate stays high. But so far i am very satisfied by this.
On the weekend i will scale it down for the iPhone.
Next will be the Multiball elements.
decl changes = nonnull(x - last_x);
decl i;
decl cv_2 = '/8/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 6) )
cv_2 = '/7/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 5) )
cv_2 = '/6/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 4) )
cv_2 = '/5/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 3) )
cv_2 = '/4/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 2) )
cv_2 = '/3/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 1) )
cv_2 = '/2/note';
if( selectedCvChannels & (1 << 0) )
cv_2 = '/1/note';
decl value;
decl whiteKeys = {0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11};
for(i=0; i<sizeof(changes); ++i) {
decl ix = changes[i];
if( x[ix] ) {
decl oct = floor(127*StepValue.x / 12);
decl value = 12*oct + whiteKeys[ix];
StepValue.x = value / 127.0;
oscout(0, cv_2, {{value}, x[ix]});
else {
decl oct = floor(127*StepValue.x / 12);
decl value = 12*oct + whiteKeys[ix];
StepValue.x = value / 127.0;
oscout(0, cv_2, {value, 0});
last_x = x;

Sorry for the newbe ask but there is a concept that is not clear for me ( cause I am a beast in english ):
This new CV will generate ADSR voltage (built in envelope generators and LFOs ) while the V1 make it receiving CC message ?
or better : I can open ( modulate )the filter or the VCA with the Envelope Generator and not only with a knob ( encoder ) on a control surface ?
Thanks for any clarification
Posted 21 November 2012 - 23:17
yes, that's correct.
The PIC based MBCV V1 doesn't provide modulation sources for the CV outputs
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 22:21
I'm looking forward to experimenting with all these great features that you are building into the code. : )
I just ordered my first LPC module and LPC1769.

Impact of local governance on education services in Indonesia
Since the introduction of decentralization in the early 2000s, local governments have become responsible for the provision of basic services. This has put them at the heart of efforts to raise education quality. The World Bank report "Local Governance and Education Performance: A Survey of the Quality of Local Education Governance in 50 Indonesian Districts" outlines the varying governance of local education systems and explores the effects of a large donor supported program that aimed to strengthen the capacity of local governments.
Capacity development of central state institutions in fragile environments
The report published by the Danish Institute for Development Studies (DIIS) discusses five cases with "relatively successful" outcomes in Afghanistan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia and South Sudan. According to the authors, the cases show that "...interventions tend to succeed if they fit well the given situation and context [but] ....This does not imply conforming to the context."

If you feel your heart pounding, shortness of breath and chest pain, are you having a panic attack or a heart attack? How can you tell the difference?
The signs and symptoms of a panic attach are similar to those of a heart attack. Anyone experiencing chest pain and other heart attack symptoms of unknown origin should call 9-1-1 immediately.
If it's not your heart, the heart palpitations felt during a panic or anxiety attack are often not serious and do not signal a health concern. However, research has shown that emotional stress can contribute to the development of heart disease.
Panic attacks
A surge of fear can overcome someone experiencing a panic attack, and they often believe they are going to die. They may experience heart palpitations, difficulty breathing, nausea, chest pain and sudden chills.
Unlike a heart attack, a panic attack is not medically dangerous. However, if you experience these symptoms, you should rule out a heart attack first. If it's not your heart, then you can alleviate some of the worry when you do experience a panic attack.
Does stress cause heart disease?
Stress is a normal part of life, but your heart can be affected by it. There is some evidence that stress can accelerate atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque in the artery walls, especially in people with Type A personalities.
Chronic stress can cause increased inflammation of the blood vessels, associated with an elevated risk of atherosclerosis. People under chronic stress also tend to have other cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking or overeating. Chronic stress also may cause coronary constriction or spasm, which decreases blood flow to the heart muscle and can cause chest pain or heart attack.
In addition, severe emotional stress can precipitate more acute cardiac conditions, including sudden cardiac death. Extremely stressful life events, including death, divorce and natural disasters, are associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiac death due to elevations in blood pressure, heart rate and accelerated blood clotting.
No one can avoid stress, but take steps to control your response to stress if you think you may be at risk for stress-related heart disease.
