A devoted family man with a successful career in software unwittingly falls into a hopeless pattern of corporate slacking, lavish business trips, and beautiful prostitutes after being promoted to middle-management in this humorous tale of ambition and redemption starring Breckin Meyer. Ted (Meyer) was the kind of guy who always put his family first, but now that he's been promoted his priorities are beginning to shift. His new manager (Adam Scott) seems more interested in cutting corners and taking advantage of the high life than getting any real work done, and it isn't long before Ted becomes wrapped up in the perks of his new position as well. As much fun as he may be having at the moment, however, Ted will eventually have to return home and answer to his increasingly lonely wife. It's only a matter of time before Ted's corporate affairs come back to haunt him, and when they do will they really have been worth it? Laura Harris, Monica Keena, and Bess Armstrong co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Her Best Friend's Husband
Arriving in Seattle to attend the birthday party of her best friend Mandy Roberts (Bess Armstrong), the recently widowed Jane Thornton (Cheryl Ladd) is shocked to learn that Mandy plans to divorce her husband Will (William R. Moses). Having recently lost a loved one herself, Jane feels the Roberts' pain, and endeavors to bring Jane and Will back together again. But things don't go quite as planned when, while helping Will alleviate his new-found loneliness, Jane realizes that she is attracted to the man. Although the premise smacks of contrivance, the development and the outcome are touchingly realistic -- and all too human. Filmed in Toronto, the made-for-cable Her Best Friend's Husband premiered March 11, 2002 on the Lifetime Network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

That Was Then [TV Series]
The ABC series That Was Then was a less comic variation on the premise of the like-vintage WB sitcom Do Over. James Bulliard starred as Travis Glass, a 29-year-old salesman who was still living with his parents. A perennial loser, Travis would give anything to return to his youth and correct past mistakes; more specifically, he would like to correct the glaring social error which drove his high-school sweetheart Claudia (Kiele Sanchez) into the arms of Travis' obnoxious brother Gregg (Brad Raider). Then on the eve of his 30th birthday, while listening to the Kinks' "Do It Again," Travis was miraculously thrust back to the year 1988 -- thereby getting his chance to use the knowledge and the experience gleaned in adulthood to straighten out the life of his "teenaged" self. Described by co-creators Daniel Cohn and Jeremy Miller as Back to the Future meets The Wonder Years, That Was Then premiered September 27, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frasier: Mary Christmas
Kim Coles returns as "Dr. Mary" Thomas, the sassy radio-advice-show rival of Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). When Mary and Frasier are assigned to co-host Seattle's Christmas Parade, Frasier is none too happy about it -- especially since Mary had started out as his temporary employee and ended up as his chief competition. Even worse, the public clearly "loves" Dr. Mary more than Dr. Crane, a fact that leads to an uncharacteristic stream of over-the-air venom from Frasier just at a time when his audience was primed for a bit of Yuletide warmth and cheer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

John Waters wrote and directed this $6.5 million satire on the Manhattan art world, a rags-to-riches comedy about 18-year-old amateur photographer Pecker (so named because he pecks at his food). Pecker (Edward Furlong) is a blue-collar kid who works in a Baltimore sandwich shop and takes snapshots of family, friends, and customers. His mom, Joyce (Mary Kay Place) runs a thrift shop where she offers fashion advice to the homeless, while sis Tina (Martha Plimpton) recruits go-go boys to dance at the local Fudge Palace. Pecker's younger sister, Little Chrissy (Lauren Hulsey), has a sugar addiction, and his grandmother, Memama (Jean Schertler), the "pit beef" queen of Baltimore, conducts prayer meetings with her talking statue of Mary. After hip Manhattan art dealer Rorey Wheeler (Lili Taylor) becomes fascinated with Pecker's photos, a big exhibition is in the offing, followed by overnight fame as the young man becomes the new darling of the New York art scene. Soon Pecker discovers that fame has its price. Shown at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Christmas Every Day
This junior-level Ground Hog Day stars Erik Von Detten as Billy Jackson, a 13-year-old Scrooge in the making. Lacking the athletic prowess to play with his Christmas presents, mooning over a girl who doesn't know he's alive (and whose boyfriend is a bully), and ruminating over the fact that his rich uncle's new Val-U-Mall will put his father's store out of business, Billy has absolutely no reason to believe in Santa Claus--and he relays this sentiment to his kid sister Sarah (Yvonne Zima). In a burst of retaliatory stubbornness, Sarah counters Billy's sourness by wishing that it would be Christmas every day. Wham! She gets her wish, and Billy is trapped in an eternity of Christmases--and of course, he's the only person who is aware that time is standing still. At first intending take advantage of his foreknowledge by getting even with various enemies and selfishly grabbing up whatever he wants, Billy gradually realizes that the only way December 26th will ever dawn is if he stops thinking about himself and starts caring about others. First telecast by the Family Channel on December 17, 1996, the made-for-cable Christmas Every Day has become something of a Yuletide perennial in recent years. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The original Disney feature film, That Darn Cat, was a feel-good hit in 1965, thanks largely to stars such as Hayley Mills, Roddy McDowall, and William Demarest. This 1996 remake also closely follows the novel Undercover Cat by Mildred Gordon and Gordon Gordon and features Christina Ricci in the Hayley Mills role. In a small Massachusetts town, two bumbling criminals mistakenly kidnap a maid, thinking her to be the wife of a prominent businessman. D.C., short for Darn Cat, is an alley cat who, while looking for his nightly snack, stumbles upon the kidnap victim, bound and gagged in a shed. The kidnap victim scratches a plea for help on the back of her wristwatch and puts it around the cat's neck. Patti (Ricci) finds the watch and links it to the missing maid. Playing amateur detective, she enlists the aid of an FBI agent, Zeke (Doug E. Doug), who has been assigned to the case. Patti and Zeke follow D.C. through tight openings to track down the captive. The cat also leads them to the woman's abductors (Peter Boyle and Rebecca Schull) and to a climactic car chase. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Forgotten Sins
The perils and pitfalls of the so-called "repressed memory syndrome" are brought home in a chilling fashion in this fact-based TV movie. After attending a Christian retreat, young Rebecca Bradshaw (Lisa Dean Ryan) returns home to accuse her deputy sheriff father Matthew (John Shea) of sexually abusing her as a child. Matthew protests that he is innocent, but as Rebecca's claims become more vivid and outrageous--involving satanic rituals and the like--even he begins to wonder if there is any truth to the story. Making matters worse, Rebecca spreads her accusations to Matthew's old poker-playing buddies, insisting that they are all involved in a diabolical coven which requires the molestation of children! With nowhere else to turn, Matthew goes to the local pastor for advice--only to be bluntly informed that the only way he can find peace is to confess to horrendous crimes that may never have happened. Adapted from a series of articles by Lawrence Wright, Forgotten Sins originally aired March 7, 1996 on ABC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The cast of this made-for-TV melodrama is comprised almost exclusively of popular young TV personalities, virtually all of them cast radically against type.

Admidst the booze, tobacco and sexual intercourse running rampant during the festivities, Melissa is savagely date-raped by one of her brother's frat members, Scott Baker (Paul-Mark Gosselaar). Demanding justice for her humiliation, Melissa runs up against a conspiracy of silence, and can only stand by helplessly as her B.M.O.C. attacker is acquitted by a campus court. Still, she intends to get even with Scott--but first she must accumulate irrefutable evidence of his libidinous behavior. She Cried No made its NBC debut on September 23, 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The happiness and heartbreaks of first-time parenting are lavishly visualized in this TV adaptation of Danielle Steel's novel Mixed Blessings. The teleplay by Virginia L. Browne and Rebecca Soladay evenly divides its time among three newly married couples, each one seriously contemplating parenthood. Though Brad Coleman (James Naughton) has a touchy relationship with his grown daughter from a previous marriage, his younger bride Pilar (Bess Armstrong) wants to experience motherhood firsthand. The relationship between Andy and Diana Douglas (Bruce Greenwood, Gabrielle Carteris) is imperiled when Diana has trouble conceiving. And while Charlie Winwood (Scott Baio) wants a baby in his life, his spouse Beth (Alexandra Paul) is not so easily persuaded. Add to this mixture a heavy dollop of "outside" emotional baggage and a few picture-book happy endings, and you have a typical (and typically well-received) Danielle Steel soufflé. The film initially aired December 11, 1995, on NBC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A man discovers that what he doesn't know can hurt him, especially when it comes to his wife, in this suspense drama. Ray Reardon (James Spader) is an architect who has just gone through a messy divorce; while his friends sing the praises of the single life, Ray would prefer to settle into a life of middle-class domesticity with a home, wife, and family. Ray meets a beautiful but mysterious woman named Lena (Madchen Amick) at a party, and for him it's love at first sight; while she remains elusive, Ray pursues her avidly, and before long he proposes, even though he doesn't know her especially well. A few years later, they're seemingly happily married with children. But Lena's behavior starts to become erratic and depressive, and she is no longer willing to account for where she's been or what she's been doing. Ray is convinced that Lena has been having an affair and begins doing some research into her past; he soon discovers her previous life bears little resemblance to what she told him and that she's been lying to him about nearly every part of her history and their relationship. Lena contends that she's just "a regular screwed-up person," but in time, Ray realizes that there's a purpose behind her duplicity: she's trying to convince people that he is insane.

Mark Kurlansky on the Cultural Importance of Salt
Yesterday, I posted the first part of an interview with author Mark Kurlansky, who, in addition to writing about Clarence Birdseye, the father of our modern frozen food industry, penned a sweeping biography of salt. For many of us, it's a mundane compound that we casually use to brighten up the flavors in our cooking, but salt has a rich and tumultuous history and considerable cultural importance the world over. Here is part two of our conversation:
Why write about salt?
I always wanted to write a book about a common food that becomes a commercial commodity and therefore becomes economically important and therefore becomes politically important and culturally important. That whole process is very interesting to me. And salt seemed to me the best example of that, partly because it's universal. Only hunter-gatherer societies aren't concerned with salt. So almost every society and culture has a story of salt, either the producing or selling of it or how to get it.
How do you go about researching and writing about something that predates written history?
There's a lot about the early history of salt that isn't known, including who first used it and when or how it was discovered that it preserved food. We were sort of handed, in history, this world where everyone knew about salt. And it's not clear exactly how that developed. The one thing that is clear is that it's when a society goes from hunter-gatherer to agriculture that it becomes interested in salt. In agriculture, livestock, just like human beings, need salt, so you have to provide salt for livestock and also sometimes to maintain the pH of the soil. Also, a major source of salt is red meat, which hunter-gatherers eat almost exclusively, so they have no need for salt. But once your diet becomes cereals and vegetables, you're not getting the sodium chloride you need so you need additional salt.
Is there a defining moment in history that signifies salt's importance in human culture?
How to choose? The importance that it played in the French Revolution is one example. The salt tax is one of the great grievances that led to the French Revolution, and one of the first things that the revolutionary Assemblée Nationale did was repeal the salt tax. Showing the same thing is the Ghandi salt march, where he used salt to bring together the masses for a movement—also protesting a salt tax. I think that the great lesson of salt history is that salt lost its value. This thing that people were willing to fight and die over and form economies with became much less valuable and much less important than it had been over a fairly short period of time.
Why fight over salt?
You have to remember that before the industrial revolution, a very large part of international trade was food products, and the only way a food product could be salable internationally was if it was preserved in salt. There was no refrigeration or freezing. It became central to international trade.
What turned salt from a commodity worth fighting over to a commonplace, inexpensive condiment on our grocery store shelves?
Two things. One of them was that the relationship—in geological terms—between salt domes and oil deposits was discovered and then there was this frantic search for salt domes to find oil deposits in the great oil boom in the early 20th century. It was discovered that the earth was full of salt much more than anyone realized—just huge swaths of salt beds running over all the continents. And almost at the same time was Clarence Birdseye—salt was no longer the leading way of preserving food.
You also touch on how salt is integrated into religion and mythology. Why was salt important to our spiritual lives?
Things that become important to economies become ritualized and become deified. Because I'm Jewish I always thought it was interesting that in Judaism, salt seals a bargain, particularly the covenant with God. Some people when they bless bread, they dip it in salt. Same thing exists in Islam. But I spent a lot of time in Haiti and I always found it interesting—maybe useful to know—that salt cures a zombie. Good to know if you're ever in danger of zombification.
Update: For those of you looking to explore salt beyond the run of the mill iodized variety, you might try one of the following:
Bolivian Rose: Salt from Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni flats unfortunately isn't readily available—Mimi Sheraton had to order her supply from La Paz, and unless you can handle the shipping charges, this is going to be cost-prohibitive for most home chefs. Still looking for a taste of this region? Try salt from the Andes Mountains as an alternative.
Fleur de Sel: Harvested from the waters of the Atlantic in the summer, this French salt isn't meant to cook with, but rather, to finish dishes with its delicate, salty flavor. David Lebovitz recommends Fleur de Sel de Geurande, which is hand-harvested and termed by some as "the caviar of salt."
Red Alea Salt: Who says that salt always has to be white? This crimson Hawaiian salt is harvested from tidal pools and owes its color to the high iron content of the volcanic clay content of those pools. Mild in flavor, it can be used in soups or stews.
Salt Made from Human Tears: The site claims that its line of salts are derived from tears harvested from humans during various emotional states: laughing, crying while chopping onions, sneezing. Don't believe everything you read online, but at the very least, if you're hunting for a novelty gift for the gourmand in your life, these might fit the bill.

Kurlansky's look at salt is a good one. I followed his description of English salt making to make my own salt from a bed of mineral salt on some family property. It created an interesting connection to this every-day thing for me.
I was a little disappointed when I clicked on the link to the first part of the interview: I thought I would read more about salt! A better description is needed for the link.
In the magazine you said that we could find where to buy the Bolivian salt by going to the website. But it is not here. So where do I buy it?
Yes. How does one buy Boliviansalt? Couln't find the answer as promised in the magazine article.
Where is the link to suppliers!!!???
I subscribe to the magazine so where do you grt the salt?
Suppliers of salt?????
I'm also interested in buying the salt. Will someone be responding this and previous requests?
Also came here from the magazine article promised some links to purchase salt, but I am glad to have read this interview as well. I think someone forgot to post the links so I will be content with the history lesson for a day or two… :)
I agree with the previous four comments. Where is the promised information on where to buy the more interesting salts?
As with the other comments above, how does one buy Bolivian salt? I could not find the answer.
Agree with earlier comments. Where is info re purchasing this wonderful product called Bolivian salt?
http://www.nothingbutsalt.com/ carries Bolivian rose salt from the Andes but not the salt from the Uyuni salt flats.
Where is the link advertised on the June 2012 edition?
Where is the salt purchase link that was promised in the article?
John -
Here's another source of various salts (though not Uyuni)
http://www.saltworks.us/gourmet-sea-salt.asp -
I also followed the link to purchase Bolivian salt and like everyone else was frustrated in not finding one. One is left to wonder in anyone at the Smithsonian bothers to read their readers comments, or for that matter cares what we have to say!
The article said I could find a website to buy all the salts discussed. But cannot find the link on this website. Help!
I was rather disappointed that you did not include a link to a website where the different salts could be purchased.
You said in your article that this information would be published.
Link to salt as stated in article, please.
I'd like to buy the salt from the Uyami Salar in Bolivia. Where's the link that was mentioned in the June article??
It is now October. This article was published in June. Why in God's name has no one from the Smithsonian bothered to read these posts and reply with a link to purchase the Bolivian salt from the Salar de Uyuni? This is simply irresponsible journalism. Where are your editors? Where are your fact checkers? Where are your proof readers? I used to turn to Smithsonian for interesting, offbeat, fact-filled journalism. You have seriously disappointed me this time.
Been checking this since June and checked the Conversations in the magazine. Obviously, all though the comments are "moderated" no one bothers to respond. What a disappointment.

Moon and Antares
- ‹ Previous program
- 222 of 2174
- Next program ›
In mythology, Orion, the hunter, was killed by the sting of a scorpion. To keep these two enemies apart, the gods placed them on opposite sides of the sky. Orion's in view in winter, while Scorpius is best seen in summer. In fact, the scorpion is in good view tonight. Its brightest star, Antares, is just to the left of the Moon at nightfall.
But it turns out that the leading stars of both constellations are part of the same neighborhood of our Milky Way galaxy -- a band of stars known as the Orion Spiral Arm. Our solar system is in the same arm -- smack between the two rivals.
The Milky Way is a giant spiral galaxy. Several sweeping spiral arms encircle a fat bar of stars in the galaxy's middle. But the galaxy also includes several partial arms, which are known as "spurs." The Orion arm is one of these spurs. It's several hundred light-years wide, but it wraps only a small way around the galaxy.
The arm is named for Orion because its stars are the arm's most prominent features. They're away from the center of the galaxy. Antares is part of a big group that marks the arm's inner edge -- toward the galaxy's center.
Spiral arms form when a "wave" sweeps through the galaxy. It squeezes clouds of gas and dust to give birth to new stars. Some of these stars are bright and heavy, like Antares, so they make the spiral arms shine brightly. But these stars die quickly, so the spiral arms soon begin to fade -- as new ones take shape.

Some people have fretted the world ended yesterday when the Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA); however, the world was still around this morning when I woke up, which just goes to show how so much of the time people get worked up over worrying about things that aren't a threat instead of looking on the bright side. To help everyone out, I've decided to give you the top ten positive aspects of gay marriage:
01. Now we can finally match up all of those orphaned/widowed wedding cake toppers.
02. You can get married by a k.d. lang impersonator wherever you are instead of an Elvis impersonator in Vegas.
03. No more "Chicken Dance" at wedding receptions, people, it's the Village People's "Y.M.C.A" all the way!
04. Rest assured you you'll never have to endure a lengthy GAY CATHOLIC wedding.
05. Brides maids don't have to worry about being stuck with a three-quarter sleeve dress they'll never wear again; there will be plenty of formal functions they can don for which they can don their tuxedos again.
06. You don't have to worry about which side of the aisle you sit on–they're both brides or grooms!
07. No need need to worry about bloody sheets to prove virginity, which really kills one's appetite for wedding cake and a bloody mary at the cash bar.
08. Nothing is more exciting than the betting pool amongst the wedding guests to guess how the bride and bride/groom and groom will alter their last names.
09. The suspense of never knowing for sure what the groom will receive when he asks for THE RING and where it's worn.
10. Think of all the money to be made by straight people in the wedding industry: CHA-CHING!

Devils recall goalie Keith Kinkaid from Albany (AHL)
UPDATED 8:06 AM PST Feb 26, 2013
The Devils recalled goalie Keith Kinkaid from Albany (AHL) today as Martin Brodeur remains day to day with a sore back. Brodeur injured his back in a recent practice and said he played a few games with soreness until he felt he was unable to start against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. In 33 games for Albany, Kinkaid is 17-11-5 with a 2.69 goals-against average and two shutouts.

Musicians Reject Detroit Symphony's Contract Offer, Season suspended
Striking Detroit Symphony Orchestra musicians have voted to reject what management has called its final labor contract offer.
The announcement Saturday by the musicians dashes hope for a quicker end to the more than four-month, contentious walkout.
The symphony has responded by saying it has released artists and conductors from their contracts and suspended all remaining orchestral concerts through the end of the season in June.

The Board of Morgan County Commissioners approved $70,488 in funding for the day treatment program housed at Brush Middle School.
This program is designed for children who have difficulty functioning in regular classrooms for one reason or another, said Steve Romero, director of the Morgan County Department of Human Services.
The students have a carefully structured classroom, plus individual mental health counseling.
This program is a collective collaboration of the county's public school districts, and students are referred from those districts, Romero said.
There are only 12 spots in the program for children, and it usually has eight to 11 kids in it, he said.
"This has been a very successful program," Romero said.
Funding comes from the core human services dollars.

There's no clear consensus in this category on which movie should win. "Brave," "Frankenweenie," "Hotel Transylvania," "Rise of the Guardians" and "Wreck-It Ralph" all have a good shot, even if "Brave" might the closest thing to a favorite.
But "Frankenweenie," Tim Burton's passion project that began as one of the director's first short films before becoming a full-length feature almost 30 years later, is the only one to have been part of a popular, if macabre, Museum of Modern Art exhibition.
Best foreign-language film
With the Oscar nominations, "Amour" broke out of the foreign-language category and infiltrated the best picture field, so it's a clear favorite here -- one that should win.
Although the film is an Austrian entry, thanks to director Michael Haneke, "Amour" is in French, and its lovely competitors include "A Royal Affair" (Denmark), "Kon-Tiki" (Norway), "The Intouchables" (France) and "Rust and Bone" (also France).
If there is an upset, expect it to be from one of the French rivals since all three deal with the bonds between disabled people and the caretakers who love them (in different ways ).
Best original score
John Williams ("Lincoln"), Dario Marianelli ("Anna Karenina"), Alexandre Desplat ("Argo"), Mychael Danna ("Life of Pi") and Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil (all for "Cloud Atlas") are the nominees.
Williams -- the most celebrated of the bunch -- will win for creating a score accurate to the musical sensibilities of the 19th century. But the "Cloud Atlas" trio had to create something described in David Mitchell's book as a piece for six instrumental voices, with each solo interrupted by its successor, only to be recontinued in order (just like the book and movie's plot).
Put another way, that's six separate plots in six separate genres, serving as the connective tissue of the larger story. It should win, hands down.
Best original song
Keith Urban and Monty Powell ("For You," from "Act of Valor"), Bon Jovi ("Not Running Anymore," from "Stand Up Guys"), Taylor Swift ("Safe & Sound," from "The Hunger Games") and Adele ("Skyfall," from "Skyfall") are up against the "Les Miserables" juggernaut, which has a new original song in "Suddenly."
The latter's director, Tom Hooper, said, "In the novel, there's an extraordinary description of what it's like for Jean Valjean to discover what it's like to love a child who is in his care, and I felt it was the one thing in the original musical that was slightly underplayed. I asked Claude-Michel Schonberg if they could write a song to show this evolution, and here it is."
"Suddenly" will win -- if "Skyfall" doesn't -- but wouldn't it be a thrill if Swift and "The Hunger Games" could be like Katniss Everdeen in the arena, and come out the surprise victor? May the odds be ever in their favor.

Java wouldn't be my first choice of language to rewrite HoN_Modman in. I would use C++/Qt. This would yield the best performance/memory usage and it would integrate a lot better UI-wise with all three operating systems.
I would like to help you even more for being the same country as mine and I started the course in computer science this year, but I have very little experience in java. I would be honored to learn from your work =).
Performance/memory usage by a small program like modman really don't mean anything. Easy cross platform usability and soild language are.
Java is a beautiful language. Yes it does run a tiny bit slower cause it has to run via an emulator instead of directly. But who cares we all probably have like 1 billion times the power it require to run a program of this scale and that's a small price to pay for all the cake Java provides.
I'd love to see a Java version of modman, plus the neat ideas OP posted. Reminds me a bit of the curse client for WoW and that'd be super cool to have for HoN. Nothing beats double-click download/install. That'd probably also get rid of all the slightly retarded people using IE and posting about .honmod being .zip and have no clue what to do with them. (Read the stickies you goons! If something doesn't work RESEARCH instead of posting "I'm lazy and an idiot, fix my problems")
Okay a bit off-topic.
Anyway gogo Java version. Pretty sure the linux people will rejoice.
Everyone's saying JAVA is slow but, guys, this is not about re-coding the game, we are talking about a mod manager :PickledBrain:
I think thats a good choice, and i'll be glad to contribute (maybe for the GUI in swing).
That's why I didn't used Python, I said I didn't know Python well, I said probally something that isn't true, I just said that because I see a lot of web-applications using it.
Java is well made and it's Virtual Machine is stable and totally functional, and I, as programmer, don't have to worry about almost anything related to the OS, just some details that are not big deal. So, that's why Java was my choice. And memory usage and performance, for a tiny software like this, won't make a difference.
You are welcome to learn. But at least, you know Object Oriented Programming?
That's the main point of integrating with a website. That curse client was my main inspiration =D
That would be a nice help, since I can't do a nice interface without wasting much time, I'm an idiot at making nice interfaces.
Please, who want's to give me a hand, just send me an email 'shirkit[At)gmail[DOT)com'

Don't listen to people who say Java is too slow.
Java is a great language to use for an application like this.
There aren't going to be any noticeable performance issues.

I <3 Efel.
If I don't respond to your pm, it's because I'm currently processing and evaluating other pms.
Well, I'm making some nice progress around here. I have pratically finished the .honmod (zip) communication and the XML < - > Mod communication. Now, it's missing the methods to do actions in the .honmod/mod.xml, and then start into the interface, then finally the extra resources, that are the built-in XML Editor and an online repository to integrate with. But what I'm gonna need is someone to make an interface. Anyone can give me a hand here?
Last edited by Shirkit; 05-02-2010 at 12:26 AM.
The fact is, I really don't like Java and SourceForce (lol)
But I have some exp in Java.
I would bother look at the code, and help, or port it to PyQt (yeah I really like Python and Qt)
**** it, I had the same idea for some months now, but was to lazy to start such a project. xD
If you need any help, don't hesitate and send me a PM. I had to deal with reading xml-files from zip-archives myself in my latest project (HoN Replay Checker), it's not that difficult.
btw. making an interface is pretty easy if you use a feature rich IDE like Netbeans.

I know isn't that ahrd, but what I want to do is make to make a nice Editor for the developers, and that part I almost got it already. The XML reading/writing is done, the zipping/unzipping is done, the cache handle is done, and now I'm working on the Game class, to get/save information from the Heroes of Newerth.
Don't you want to help us to develop it? We need all help we can have. Work around here isn't missing
Dude, I'm sure you probally have no clue what you are talking about. This is a small software to do small things, and the platform where it will run (Desktop/Notebooks) have enough RAM (256MB) to run this simple program. And for such processors (2.4 GHz), you won't feel the difference in such a small software. I'm studying this for 3 years by now, and I can tell that any multi-platform (OS) programming language would suit well, but Java is the one I can develop well.
If this was a real-time software, with needs to response in precise and fast timing, I would never use Java, but in this case, it just suits well. At the maximum, it will take about 40-50MB of Ram, and that isn't much for a 2 minute running software.
When the software releases, you can tell me if you think that it's that slow as you are saying.
As I said, if you need any help, just PM me.
Manda ver Shirkit XDXDXDXDXD
v?, mantenham-se no t?pico xD
Bom trabalho pessoal

I don't have all my abilities yet, only level 30, but I still have a lot of free spots on my bars. I also use every single one of my abilities regularly, with Chilling Scream being the least common.
Chen wrote:Chilling scream does seem more or less pointless at the moment in PvE. I haven't found anything I need to kite and kiting isn't terribly easy on a Juggernaut anyways with scream being the only real ranged attack. I got Force Choke and Force Push on the weekend and I love them. It'll be great in a level or two when I can talent Choke to not have to be channelled.
Ixtellor wrote:In PvP Force Push is KING. Other than that I generally only use it in Boss fights. About half way through the fight I push them, then leap. Also be careful with it. I once pushed a Boss mob out a window then he added several aggs AND my companion couldn't handle the sudden change in the fight.
Also, I finally hit a wall in Ship Combat. I need to upgrade using commendations on the extra stuff because I can't handle my currently daily mission.
2) I have 400 snythweaving now, its not worth it. Only real use is making items for guildmates and alts, but at level 50 no use.
Slicing is the BEST skill, its a hardcore money maker. Diplomacy is useful for darkside and lightside points.
Biochemical is the one very good crafting skill and lots of people like artificing or ones that make mods. Mods are very useful.
Ixtellor wrote:Later on you get a skill called ____ Kick. Its only usable on a slowed opponent. So sometimes I use chilling scream then the kick. (does decent damage)
In PvP Chill is very useful. Force Choke looks cool but it lowers your DPS until you talent it to not be channeled. I still used it a ton generally on Mobs that made me mad. If I was on my speeder and got agged off it, those people are getting 'choked the F out'.

I did the same thing, not spending any fleet commendations until I was in my 40s. Then I hit a brick wall on one mission (Drexel Sweep). The power conversion module is hugely powerful though and fixed all my problems. I heartily recommend people buying it asap.

You get more dailies the further along in the storyline quest you go.

Everything seems WoW-lite right now, but it's kind of neat. The companion mechanic is brilliant.

You get a teleport every 3 mins, so that greatly helps. And every 18 hours you get a free teleport to the Fleet. (where anything can be done, maintenance wise).

I'm not judging the game yet; I've seen very little of it and aside from some flaws, I'm enjoying it.
No dual spec? It costs every time you want to respec?
Just got my ship and my second companion. I'm a huge fan of the companion and crafting mechanic.
Izawwlgood wrote:Yeah, I view that as unacceptable. Not having a dual spec just means I have to decide between dropping cash and playing healer with my friends, or dropping cash and running PvE solo.
Izawwlgood wrote:Yeah, good point.
I've read a bit about the different Sage trees, but was hoping for some more input; Telekinesis is obviously the damage spec, but I read that Balance has pretty good damage output as well. Would it be worth leveling Balance? Can Balance heal in a flashpoint sufficiently?
You, sir, name? wrote:Just make sure to consistently whack it in the ass, as that's one end it does not shoot fire out of. Be careless with the flame-magic and it may just shoot fire out both ends.
Izawwlgood wrote:I would suggest that if you found WoW boring, you will find SWTOR boring, unless you absolutely love Bioware style conversations. The game really is WoW light with a higher emphasis on the immerse RP.
Also, yeah, no trial I don't think. I found that pretty annoying, because it means in order to start playing, you have to drop at least 75 bucks for your first two months.
Izawwlgood wrote:First month is free in that you pay 60 bucks for the game, and get a month to play. You then need to subscribe, which as you said you can cancel ahead of time, so the cost for the game entry is 60 bucks + 15 bucks for the next month.
This game is making me want to resub to WoW truthfully. It's WoW light in many regards, plus a handful of cool fixes or tweaks, also, lightsabers, but ultimately, it's still just WoW light.

Is it good???
some people like it
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
i bought it today, it is sweet
I don't like Sega!
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
I think they have a decent system...and decent games, don't diss 'em.
Sega is great it was the first next gen console i ever played
dreamcast is really noisey though
Sega has better games than PS2 if u think about it\by far but their is a major release differenc
the dreamcast is worth it. it is my second favorite system, and if you are trying to decide between the dreamcast or ps2, definetely the dreamcast.
I think the dreamcast is cool, might buy one when the price drops
u can get 1 now 4 99$
Well it hadent dropped when I wront that!
I know this is a bit off topic, but why are the colors messed up in this topic? I also see many people I've never seen before.. I wonder why they don't post anymore..
Sega's systems and games are awsome! Wonder Boy, Fantasy Zone, Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter, can't get enough of them!
i'd buy it if it was under 120$
Umm wernt they like puttin the price of it down to $100?

But we didn't get in a statement after the national security advisor Tom O'Donnell and that with -- an assistant the Egyptian leader.
Is that a topic of discussion the senate colonel Ralph Peters.
Fox News strategic analysts -- good morning to thank you for coming back here and I just you in the statement from the White House here.
They discussed a broad range of issues including our bilateral economic cooperation.
Join efforts to promote regional security and build on the cease fire in Gaza.
And -- -- democratic transition and the need to move forward with a peaceful and inclusive transition that respects the rights of all egyptians.
I don't know what that means -- you say they're downplaying this for a reason.
Why is happy they certainly are because the White House is very very embarrassed.
It's kind of -- Bad case of strategic dvd he just can't keep a focus on anything it took its -- off the ball Libya.
Took its I have the ball and Egypt -- -- everything was fine -- it's utterly at sea island Syria and conceived sand doesn't know what to do bit.
Specifically in Egypt.
On the administration just desperately wants quiet he wants to focus on its domestic agenda.
And so it's giving a pass.
To president Morsi.
Who is turning into a dictator who is ramming through a constitution that while it does not specify -- -- -- law.
As a ruling factor.
Nonetheless has various clauses that take the country -- Sharia law over the coming near -- I think they're embarrassed and by the way we can't change Egypt.
But we do give them well over billion dollars of hate everything here that's true and I and the margin.
Yeah Atlanta let me explore that a little bit more here a lot of people think Egypt is the next Toronto Morsi continues along the path but he does.
But the big stick is the money.
Do we cut off -- if that's the case.
Well I think we already -- have threatened.
And of course we don't -- what went on behind closed doors but it did the body language the tone suggests that the White House is willing to go along with Morrissey and the reason -- -- in the Muslim Brotherhood are pushing this through so swiftly.
Is because -- Egyptian economy is tanking.
Tourism is is almost zero it out now when's the last time you bought a product manufactured in Egypt.
And beyond all the religion except for the real extremists what the poor of Egypt want is a job.
They want economic improvements and more she knows now he can't delivered on a reasonable time frame.
So he is ramming through this constitution.
Hell for leather.
Because he can do it now wouldn't be able do it later -- -- that was -- -- and I was quite surprised that a 100000 people came back into the streets that is a strong.
Statement against what he is doing but the implications.
For that entire region.
If Egypt continues along this path are enormous now he fled the palace yesterday right that's the word we got that was the word that was used -- Whether he just went home for the night -- something probably but his folks would say that but you say an Arab culture that's a big deal.
Why yet he is perceived as having fled.
That demonstrators feel they drove him out to be left in a panic and isn't real macho surface -- culture.
And it matters just as Egypt matters Egypt remains the pivotal Arab country.
And so the future of Egypt is even more important -- Syria as important as that is.
So bill frankly I'm concerned about real violence in the streets the Muslim Brotherhood is extremely well organized and the key question is.
How will the security forces react.
If this gets what all great questions here fifteen seconds or less -- Does the Muslim Brotherhood win this battle.
Yes mean.
Now we'll have huge implications.
On our country and our policy in that region for years to come Ralph Peters -- is here watching -- -- Iraq.

Released on: 23 April 2012
'Out Of The Game' - Single:Produced by Mark Ronson, Out of the Game is the seventh studio album from one of the very best contemporary songwriters.
Rufus says it's, "the most pop album I've ever made" while Mark Ronson believes, "it's the best work of my career." Both sentiments can be heard between the grooves of this marriage made in heaven. Recorded in New York last autumn, the 12 tracks sparkle and shine.
From the uptempo opening chords of the title track and first single to the gospel tinged rock of "Jericho", through the beauty of "Sometimes You Need" and the emotional pull of "Candles", this new disc ranks alongside Rufus Wainwright's very best.
Musicians on the album include the Dap Kings, who Mark used for the groundbreaking Amy Winehouse Back To Black CD and his own Record Collection; Wilco's Nels Cline; Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow; Sean Lennon and Martha Wainwright.
Influences, as ever, were all encompassing. Mark says Out of the Game, "has a real 70's, Laurel Canyon spirit" while Rufus cites, "all the greats — Elton, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, basically the brash and beautiful. It's also very Rufus." Without a doubt, Out of the Game covers all the bases.

Fuel Cells
What are fuel cells? |
Fuel cells are chemical devices that react hydrogen with oxygen in a controlled way to produce water vapour and electricity. They physically consist of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte and a membrane, and can be either flat or rolled together (much like conventional batteries). Usually the cells are designed as plates, which are then arranged in a pile, called a stack. The stack normally is accompanied by various ancillary components, such as fuel reformer and water pumps, and the whole unit is called a fuel cell system. The chemical reaction causes voltage between both sides of the cell, which can then be connected via an external circuit. It is the electrons flowing through this circuit that provide electrical current to the power device such as a motor. The process is quiet, requires no moving parts, and produces no pollutants.
There is the opportunity to easily separate and sequester the carbon dioxide produced if the reforming is done on a large scale, otherwise the carbon dioxide must be collected from the reformer. Carbon dioxide injecting is an established technology, and the ability to sequester carbon for the long term is currently being demonstrated, this is examined further in WEC's focus on CCS. The more complicated hydrocarbons (coal and oil) are more difficult to reform and lead to a less efficient process, therefore methane (natural gas) or methanol is often preferred. |

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A Fort Carson soldier already accused of kidnapping and flashing young girls in southern Colorado now faces new charges from another state.
Aaron Lucas, 31, is accused of enticing and sexually abusing a child in Madison, Alabama in 2002.
Lucas was supposed to hear his charges Thursday, but his court appearance was delayed because of a paperwork issue. He is expected in court Friday instead.
Lucas was arrested in Colorado in October in connection to a series of sex offenses allegedly committed over the last two years in Colorado Springs, Fountain and unincorporated El Paso County. According to authorities, Lucas was allegedly exposing himself, then luring or attempting to lure girls under the age of 12 to commit sexual acts with him.

WASHINGTON — The individual health insurance mandate is constitutional, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, upholding the central provision of President Barack Obama's signature Affordable Care Act.
The 5-4 majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the mandate as a tax, although concluded it was not valid as an exercise of Congress' commerce clause power. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined in the majority.

Hello everyone! My name is Christa and I am basically what you would call a Lord of the Rings fanatic. I'm currently in the process of making my bedroom Lothlorien-themed, if that gives you any idea of the love and respect I have for the books and films. Now, when I'm not busy with obsessively decorating, I like to write fan fiction and have been doing so since about 2006. And if you are wondering, yes I do have a life! I am a sophomore (soon-to-be junior) in college where I am majoring in criminal justice.
So basically, between school, Lord of the Rings, and a few other things in between, life is good!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my stories

I said the fifth one, but I also cannot stand screamo, especially the bands with the regular singers that sound like prissy little girls.
I hope rap wasn't listed because it's not music!
That is awesome. Rap was not on the list because it is not music.
I hate rap cant stand it at all dam rap crap
cfarr wrote:I hope rap wasn't listed because it's not music!
no its crap
Least favorite- hip-hop with awful lyrics. Very favorite- Led and ZZ
Metal >
That stale oldies.
all of the above
If I was limited to the top five choices it would have been metal but reggae takes the cake for me!
All of the above plus Rap. (Not that Rap is music)
I hate a wide variety of music from all of these genres. IMO bad music isn't more common in one genre than the others.
Rap/Hip Hop = Bad poetry set to FruityLoops
I'll get you, you Dirty Rap! Get me? See? But the dialogue is snappy and contemporary, actually.
I think it's a common misconception about rap People sort of group ALL rap together, when most of it isn't all that bad It's just the ones that are about drugs or beating women or how much of a... buffoon the 'singer' is, those are the ones that we think of when we think of the genre and the ones that get the most media coverage, instead of ones like this
voted Country, only because Rap was not an option. who failed on putting Rap as an option? fail!
My guess is they consolidated Hip hop with Rap!
jsvend wrote:voted Country, only because Rap was not an option. who failed on putting Rap as an option? fail!
I dislike most pop/rap music, so I guess I'd say "all of the above." I especially hate it when the National Anthem is sung with interpretation.
Has anyone mentioned Rap yet? No. Then let me state... RAP!

Thanks. Beastie Boys for the win. I listen to every genre of music and most styles too.
lifevirusx wrote:I think it's a common misconception about rap
No, it's not a misconception- to most people, rap is just awful. It's got nothing to do with the lyrics- half the time I can't understand what they're saying anyway. Instead of drugs and beating up momma with a crow bar they could be singing about butterflies and rainbows and it would still be repulsive.
I also hate "Trance" - the stuff that gets played at raves and clubs that goes on forever and I'm guessing is only enjoyed by people who have taken something that makes them "smell colors" and "taste sounds" or whatever.
"Can't spell crap with rap!" I actually like some the Beastie Boys & Eminem. Old school rap was fun. I pretty much like at least a little bit of all kinds of music. My favorite is rock & roll, baby! Love Pandora! I'm at work & listening to it now! Rock on!!!
pyrok wrote:I also hate "Trance" - the stuff that gets played at raves and clubs that goes on forever and I'm guessing is only enjoyed by people who have taken something that makes them "smell colors" and "taste sounds" or whatever.
all of the above. but depends on the song.
I can listen to and enjoy almost anything as long as musical competence is involved. That being said,I will instantly mute: 1-Twangy country-"Ran over my dog with my truck when I found out my wife was cheating while I was cheating" 2-Some grundgy dude growling into a microphone while four instruments play four different songs at the same time while drummer is apparently off in his own concert. 3-Profanity laden songs of any genre.
Why no Rap option? That would definitely be my least favorite.
Ugh! Just noticed no "Christian Rock" listed on the list of disliked music. Bunch of musicians not good enough to break into mainstream country, but still want lots of money- so they find their place in "Christian Rock" where people will throw money at them for sounding bad because they have a religious theme to their music. Doesn't matter how bad you sound- how little talent you have; if you can say something semi-religious you too can have a hit-record. Wife listens to that awful stuff.
Olphart wrote:3-Profanity laden songs of any genre.
Yeah- especially Christian Rock laden with profanity. Why is there no Jewish rock station on the dial- or a Buddhist rock station. Now Buddhist rock would be fun.
There is something in every genre of music I like. I don't like it all, but who does.
I can tell there are some major cornballs amongst the members of Woot. Hip-hop isn't music? Most of you dont have a clue. Now, there's a ton of crap rap, but that's just like any other genre. Personally, I enjoy all types of music.
Oh dubstep, how ye make mine ears bleed!
Hip Hop is winning (losing)? Seriously? All I have to say to that: The Roots.

Aww. Where is the love?!
And notice, Funk wasn't listed, because it is impossible to hate funk!
The funny thing is that there are three on this list that I can't stand, and all three are voted the highest. Go figure. (hip-hop, country, and tweeny-pop if anyone was interested)
Woot has started a war. As soon as I saw the question I knew there would be a whole lot of haters out there.
I actually like a bit of everything, but I can't stand hardcore country music. It makes me want to run into a wall every time it starts playing. I luv hip-hop but i'm not big on rap. I don't like certain jazz, but I like the blues. I adore pop music.
