Some time ago I started a retexture project of San Francisco RUSH. At that time I've dumped all the textures (I guess) of the game and started the project... but I've noticed a "strange" thing related to the dumped textures, they all are upside down and with several small blue boxes... so this is normal or I have done something wrong? At that time I've used Project64 1.6 with Glide Napalm to dump the textures... I also tried with other emulators/plugins but got the same result.
PS: Manage attachments is not working? I can't upload any image, it gives fatal error.

Interesting judgments. For the record, the progressive folks I am acquainted with bear no resemblance to such harsh characterizations. Nor do we believe "lies" about the Tea Party. We see what those people do, and form opinions based on their actions. (Like a pointless government shutdown that cost untold billions of dollars and put many hard-working Americans out of work, for example.) And we listen - first hand - to inflammatory divisive rhetoric and we are quite able to draw our own conclusions. Politicians like Palin and Cruz demonize themselves. Absolutely no need for the press to "spin" it for anyone.
Speaking of lies and spin, I would guess that much of what was written above this comment was likely informed by a media outlet that rhymes with "pox." The very "journalists" who went to court and proved they had the LEGAL RIGHT to lie to their viewers. How ironic.
There is no doubt our government needs some serious overhaul. What a shame that "we the people" can't seem to find a way to work together and make that happen.
"LEGAL RIGHT to lie to their viewers". What about the President who continues to lie to the American people?
But one of them did, so does that count?
One of the ringleaders of the rebels that did dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor was Samuel Adams. Not only did he sign the Declaration of Independence, and serve in Congress, but his manifesto spoke of 'natural rights' ( life and liberty). Thomas Jefferson incorporated those terms into the Declaration of Independence.in
If Sam Adams doesn't qualify as 'a founder', someone is setting the bar a little high -- apparently to argue a partisan position. Isn't there enough of that already?

J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner.

Published: 12/20/2012 10:35 PM | Last update: 12/20/2012 11:09 PM Salthawk inconsistencyBoys fall to Mac heading into holidaysBoth the Hutchinson High and McPherson boys have played a rugged early-season schedule. Both teams have played six games, and both have spent ample time away from home.After McPherson beat the Salthawks 64-50 on Thursday at the Salthawk Activity Center, both coaches seemed relieved. The pre-holiday schedule was complete. No more games for more than two weeks. Time for some relaxing, but more important, some practice time.
Hutchinson entered the season with the same dilemma it has most seasons. Many basketball players also play football, and by playing in the Class 6A state championship game again this season, those who do both sports had barely more than a week to get ready for basketball. Six games were jammed into the pre-holiday schedule, leaving Hutchinson coach Nate Henry with little time to find out what it was good at and what needed to improve. "We had about six practices, and then we start playing games," Henry said. "That's not a lot of time to make adjustments we need to make." Hutchinson's six games were summarized Thursday. Some good moments, like when the Salthawks ended the second quarter on a 14-2 run and led 27-22 at halftime. They also out rebounded the taller Bullpups 39-28. But there was also inconsistent play. The Salthawks had 21 turnovers against McPherson's active zone defense that blankets most of the court. They also saw an eight-point third-quarter lead turn into a nine-point deficit by the start of the fourth quarter. "We've got to get better at finishing games and playing the second half like we do the first half," Henry said. "One night, we'll play well on offense, and the next we play well on defense. This game was a microcosm of the things we've got to get better at." Hutchinson (2-4) held McPherson without a field goal for the final 6 minutes, 15 seconds of the second quarter, enabling the Salthawks to come back. Guard Trevor Turner had eight of his 20 points in the second quarter, and his 3-pointer early in the third quarter gave the Salthawks a 30-22 lead. It took McPherson less than three minutes to erase the deficit, and when Keaton Sorenson sank a free throw with 4:50 left, the Bullpups had the lead for good. "They're a well-coached team," said Hutchinson forward Joe Dower, who had 14 rebounds. "We know we're an undersized team, so we tried to run with them. But they're a fast team too, and they have a lot of good ball handlers, a lot of good basketball players that don't allow you to get in their heads." McPherson (5-1) was efficient shooting the ball, making 20 of 45 shots. Peter Horton sank four 3-pointers and scored 12 of his game-high 21 points in the pivotal third quarter. But what made the Bullpups even tougher was they had only 11 turnovers, three of which came in the waning moments when the lead was safely in double digits. Point guard Kyler Kinnamon didn't hit a shot until the fourth quarter and scored 12 points, but his ball handling in the second half didn't allow the Salthawks many fastbreak opportunities. "We did better with our turnovers," coach Kinnamon said. "That had been a bugaboo for us. But they come at you in waves, and we play so few guys, and they have strong kids over there too. They might be short, but physically, they're strong, and that wears on you." Other than Turner, no other Salthawk scored more than Tanner Higgins' five points.
More balanced scoring is something else the Salthawks can focus on during these game-free days the next two weeks.

I wish I could dream up a better NAME
Other than
I can create them, hang them, make them look pretty with lights, but I haven't dreamt up a REAL name for them yet. I am stumped. I need a name that doesn't make me *smirk*. Any ideas? So far, all I have come up with is balls.
Uhm. Never mind.
I can travel my way across land and sea. I can perch myself in a vineyard and look calm.
{That is because I went to a wine tasting BEFORE this photo}
I am woman, hear me roar…whatever…. I can't name a grapevine ball to save my life. Note: In that vineyard photo, I laughed so hard with my friend Catherine…that all my make-up somehow jumped off my face. Then, I sat and tried to look all serious-like. Did it work?
Tricked you, didn't I?
Back to the balls…
Now that I have put your head in the gutter, get it out. And concentrate. I have a really cool DIY to show you. Don't judge this lonely ball, all by itself. This is just to give you a drift of what is ahead. I need to get you all revved up for this DIY. I know you would rather sit in your jammies and just sip your coffee. I know how you roll.
These little crazed balls may not look like much as you create them, but they are stunners when they are lit at night. They also look FAB in the garden. They are organic in nature, so they can definitely take some abuse. Wind, rain, snow….no probs. Grapevine is built to weather the storm. Strong and sturdy wins the race. No, that is slow and steady wins the race. Whateve. I didn't tell you I was smart.
I can't even name these little ……."whatevers" AKA balls.
Grapevine. Duh. I told you this was easy. Need help finding grapevine? If you are Canadian, it is everywhere. Like. Everywhere. It is like a wild weed. If you are not Canadian, don't fret. Grapevine is abundant.
You don't have grapevine??
P.s. You can also BUY a grapevine wreath, and take it apart to make the same balls. The good news is that the grapevine wreath already has the 'round' shape. Brilliant, huh?
Here is what grapevine looks like :
That's right. It is presently taking over my barn. Grapevine rolls like that. Bad ass. It's a WILD thaang. If you stood still long enough, it would probably grab you and grow around you like a tree. It is easily found on fence rows, growing up trees, taking over gardens at a home near you. It's like an invasion of the body snatchers. If you plant a wee stem of it one year, you will have a grapevine house the next year. I had so much of it, I made a grapevine TREE for under our treehouse. Because the tree-house didn't have enough trees around it already. What? Don't ask. I had an abundance of grapevine and it needed to go to a good home. Don't judge me. I am only a designer. My skills are limited to wine drinking and grapevine wrestling. Funny how those two skills go so well together. I should just peel the grapes off of the vine, jump on them, and make wine like Lucille Ball.
If you are not near grapevine, don't give up. I can save your butt ONE MORE TIME with this alternative. Yes, I have a plan B.
You can make
Yup. Genius name, isn't it? Wire Balls. You can make these to use for lighting. Or for decor. Easy to do. I pinkie swear it. They look drop dead amazing on tabletops, in the garden, or even IN the house. The list is unbelievably endless. No time for that now. More on that later *
1. Grapevine
2. Wire to cut into small pre-cut pieces. I usually cut about 30 pre-cut pieces. This wire will be used to secure the grapevine together as you are wrapping the beach ball.
Pick a gauge like what you see in the photographs below. I didn't pay attention to what number it was. There are no rules. We are here for good times, kids.
3. Wire cutters
4. Beach balls ( a few varying sizes )
Buy varying sizes of balls (there I go with that ball word again). Immature. I am. Make sure you buy the kind of beach balls that you can deflate. The variety of sizes means that you will have a variety of finished sizes of grapevine balls.
Why buy a deflatable beach ball ?
a) you can play with it later
b) If you can't deflate the ball, you will need to beat the heck out of it, to remove it from your grapevine. Trust me on this one. Buy a deflatable ball. No need to murder a beach ball. No balls need to die in this experiment.
5. Twinkle lights.
You know the kind. Little wee white lights, with a GREEN wire. One box of 50 white mini lights is a good amount to use per ball. Don't buy the ones with the white rope/wire. Those will look stupid. Mmm. I retract that statement. If you spray paint your grapevine balls white that could be super funky. I might need to try white version 101 next. White grapevine balls with white mini lights. I LOVE WHITE I have a problem.
Enough about my problems.
Let's get crackin' on those balls.
6. Chain, twine, rope &/or extension cord to hang the balls from the trees. You will not need this chain or rope if you are placing the grapevine balls in the garden. Ambiance. Less Work. Awesome.
1. Gather up your grapevine, strip it of the grapes and leaves. Make your grapevine buck-naked. This is not a glamorous job even though the buck-naked part might sound glamorous. Wear gloves. Do not get a manicure the day before. Been there. Done that. It was dumb.
Grapevine looks like this :
Pick the grapevine when it is still growing, soft, and pliable. If you pick it, and let it dry out, it will crack and be too dried out to really work with it. It can be done, but only if you want to do things the hard way. I like the easy route – myself.
Grapevine is easy to get, since most farmers and other country folk just love to get rid of it. Unless you are in wine country. Which I am not. And I wouldn't suggest stealing grapevine from a vineyard. That would kinda get you into some hot water. Just sip their wine and leave their grapevine alone. Good clean fun.
So in my neck of the woods, and for most people, grapevine does cause harm since it chokes out trees and takes over. It tries to rule the roost in mother nature. Don't let it. Pull it off, wrangle it, and it is yours to turn into a light.
2. After you have stripped the grapevine, you are left with the stem {the brown woody part that you see in this picture}. Begin to wrap it around a beach ball. Remember, you need to deflate this beach ball when you are done, so be sure to get a deflatable ball. I usually deflate the ball after the grapevine ball starts to take shape. Don't try and sneak the beach ball out after you have made a FULL GRAPEVINE BALL. You will definitely need to murder the beach ball if you wait that long. Pull out the beach ball while you still have ROOM to pull it out.
3. Have your wire and wire cutters handy. I prep a bunch of pre-cut wire, so I am not wrangling with the wire cutters, wire, ball, and grapevine all at once. I am not that coordinated.
Pre nipped wire :
Did you notice that I can grow a mini tree out of my tabletop, but I still can't grow grass in my yard. Seriously. What the what what ?
NOTE : I usually work with different sizes of balls (there I go again). Now I want to tell myself to shut up. The different sizes of beach balls will give you different sizes of lighting.
A wee sidebar note: At this point you are probably wondering why I have a table built of stones and old boards. It too was a great DIY project. I left my Mom and her best friend alone outside my barn one day. Not alone actually. With wine. No joke.
Hours passed. A whole lotta laughing went on. I think one of them pee'd their pants. The other one went on a disappearing act for a while and created a grapevine angel using an old staircase post. I swear. I could not make this stuff up.
And then..
And then…
there was a TABLE.
They made a table, with rocks, stones, boulders….anything they could find…The 'legs' of the table were made from the rocks. The table top is made from barn boards. They, no doubt, probably ripped those boards right off my barn walls.
I was pretty impressed with the whole DIY stone table. I seriously contemplated leaving those two ladies alone with wine – MORE OFTEN.
If you look carefully in the picture, you will see that it has a big metal bit stuck in there {NOW}
A friend of ours drove over ( Yes, OVER ) the table with his snowmobile one day.
I swear, it happened. Well, I did swear, to tell you the truth. The table was buried under a mountain of snow. He didn't see A TABLE. Crazy. Well, I suppose I couldn't blame him. How often does one have a stone table beside a wood shed, made of barn boards, and a whole lotta wine ?
He fixed the table with that metal thingy that he found from Gawd-knows-where in the forest beside our house. It is probably someones metal hip when they were buried here from the local murder. Ok, now I am just making up stories.
On to those danged balls again….That is enough fun stories for you. You have to get to work on this DIY.
4. As you wrap the beach ball with the grapevine, secure it with your pre cut wire to ensure a solid hold. It will seem tricky at first, sort of like rolling a mammoth ball of out of control wool. Once the ball gets going though, it gets easier.
5. After the grapevine ball starts to take shape, you can now deflate your beach ball, and continue working on building up more grapevine. Just keep adding the grapevine, in circles around the ball, like you are rolling a ball of wool. A big ball of wool. Something that the green giant would use to knit a sweater.
Don't sweat it too much if you don't get all the grapes and leaves off the ball. They will eventually dry up and fall off. Like a baby belly button. Except that was a gross analogy.
6. When you are finished , you need to stand back and admire it.
It likes to be admired. It is not at all camera shy.
At this point, I think I went and celebrated …
And wondered why the heck grapevine looks like this in France :
And looks like this in my garden :
After all that celebrating, I forgot to take photos of what it looks like to string the twinkle lights on it. It is not rocket science. I know you can do it. Just string lights FIRST, drink wine AFTER.
7. Wrap the mini lights around the balls. You can be quite random. There aren't any twinkle lighting police, the last time I checked. No rules here.
8. You can now add a chain to hang your balls. I haven't always thought ahead on this one. I scramble around the house and barn and look for chain. I sometimes try to steal it from the kids bikes. Or my husbands workshop. Failing that, I have used the extension cord itself to hang the balls too. That is probably not technically correct, but I am so excited to hang them, I don't care.
9. I attach electrical tape to secure the mini light plug to the extension cord and keep it free of rain and creepy critters.
10. If I feel fanciful and grow a wild hair, I use big ol' rope or funky twine. Interesting rope is a nice twist if you are feeling artistically twisted. You could even braid something if you felt all ambitious. Or braid your hair. I don't care. Hang that ball.
*{Here is your PLAN B}
You have no grapevine. You have no mini lights. You have a lot of wine. You have a bit of time. You have WIRE. You can still make these :
Same deal. Start with a beach ball. Minus the grapevine. Minus the …just about everything but wire. Just wrap with wire around the beach ball, and secure with your pre-cut pieces of wire. Use a thin wire, and wrap little 'knots' to make it all hold together. I used old fencing wire to create this one. Left it out in the rain to rust, because I like rust. I do. I do.
Sip your wine.
Admire your balls.

What can I say? With the price and availability of the metal ammo cans, these are really proving to be a great alternative. Great price, no rusting and ordering online was simple and easy. Works fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fishndoc Excellent for the price
I am using this box to carry spare parts on my boat. I was looking for something plastic so it won't rust or scratch the boat. This fits the bill perfectly. In addition, it is gasketed. I don't know if it is completely waterproof but it should be splash proof which is fine since it is in a storage compartment on the boat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ThreePercenter Pretty good
These boxes have delivered. Filled to the brim with loose ammo or tools and they seem solid.
Fit great in tight places. Good storage for those with little room to spare.

Does it have a rubber o-ring seal?Answers
It has a rubber gasket. I doubt it would do well submerged but it should be fine against splashing.A:
No... unfortunately there is no o-ring seal or gasket, but there is a well for one. So... you could essentially get one in there. Good luck!A:
It has a flat rubber gasket instead of an O-ring in the lid to seal against the box.A:
The box's tongue and groove lid design resists water and features a hinged, lockable design for strength, does not have a rubber o-ring seal.1 of 1

"Raising the bar for communication" is not the same as "subject everyone to the current feminine bar". ... The full rules for female/feminine behavior are weird and nasty
No doubt there are many subtleties of the rules of female discourse that yet escape me, but in general it seems that females are slightly less inclined toward destructive, aggressive argumentation than men (particularly younger men). So to improve the tone in free software online communication from the (generally) young-male-like level to the female level would be an improvement. Perhaps that level again could be improved, but that's beside the point. The point is we should improve, not find a way to get women (and perhaps others) to be more comfortable with the current level.
personally, I'm all for assertiveness, self-promotion, and vigorous disagreements, so long as they're carried out in a way that respects everyone involved.
Ok, that's interesting. Why do you think that? I used to think that too, and I used to be *very* assertive and vigorous in my disagreements with people. However, with time, I've come to see these traits as actually being destructive to good debate. They tend to poison things and increase the risk that people start taking things personally. Further, these traits, I have come to think, do not bring anything positive to a debate.
Assertiveness of personality is a poor substitute for sound reasoning with supporting data, such that the argument asserts itself (to right-thinking observers at least). Vigorous disagreement (as in "direct", "forthright") has a high risk of stimulating egos into taking offence, compared a more indirect and less confrontational approach (no matter how much we'd like to ignore egos, it seems they'll always be with each of us). Etc.
However, I am probably misunderstanding your point. ;) Overall, I do not disagree with your more central point that we should be working toward some higher bar of respectful communication.
Women don't have the same passion for open source men do? Really??
Posted Sep 1, 2009 8:17 UTC (Tue) by njs (guest, #40338) [Link]
The complaint about the double-standard has nothing to with whether women are comfortable with the current rough-and-tumble of FOSS discourse; it's about men being uncomfortable with women who are half as outspoken as the men themselves are.
Re: assertiveness, self-promotion, vigorous disagreement: Yeah, I think we're talking at cross-purposes a bit. By assertiveness I mean, for instance, speaking up when one has something to say; there's nothing wrong with pointing out one's accomplishments when relevant (rather than as a way to knock others down); and as for vigorous disagreement, it is entirely possible to present one's thoughts in a forthright manner without attacking anyone's ego. "Thanks for the patch! The current version has a few problems that prevent me applying it as is; could you look over the following and see what you think? ..." All those are, I think, good things.
OTOH, there are some people who delight in turning fact-based disagreements into personal fights, and are happy to win through logical rudeness[1] and gratuitous nastiness. One of the usual ways to pick up social status in geek circles, for instance, is by flaming people to a crisp -- these are scored not on whether you happened to be right or wrong, but on how thoroughly the recipient is ground into dust, and how entertaining bystanders find their destruction. Many communities have designated targets for their members to practice on.
All that is just obnoxious, and goes *way* beyond "vigorous disagreement". Often someone who gets called on such behavior will start waving around terms like "free speech", "healthy debate", "vigorous disagreement", as a way to deflect criticism, but pff. That's just more of the rudeness that got them into the mess in the first place, and I'm under no obligation to buy into their self-serving redefinition :-).
One more point about the idea of raising the bar for men rather than lowering it for women: In addition to my concerns about whether that's an accurate description of what we want, it seems to me that by framing it that way, you run the risk of providing comfort to those who *don't* want to give up the double-standard -- you may give them an excuse to stop worrying about habitual sexism while feeling virtuous about working on the "real problem" (whether they accomplish anything or not). I assume that's not your intention, but the possibility makes me uncomfortable, and might be off-putting to other potential allies as well.

Feinstein's Sneak
Plus--Today's Obama Gaffe-to-Ignore
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Bradley still in the race: Gallup (telephone poll) and Rasmussen (robo-poll) continue to diverge. ... 1:31 P.M.
I attempt a Unified Obama Theory. ... Bloggingheads commenters are not appreciative. ... It's disturbingly similar to what--according to Mark Halperin--is John Edwards' theory. ... 1:15 P.M.
He said "pivot." Heh, heh, heh ... 1:04 P.M.
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
In North Carolina, Obama doesn't seem to be losing ground. He's up 21 points, according to the RPP poll. He was up only one point in the same poll a week ago--although the results aren't strictly comparable because RPP expanded its universe of "likely" voters this week to include all 2006 general election participants. Still. ... Obama gained substantially (19 points) among white voters. ... And this is a robo-poll, which theoretically minimizes the Bradley Effect. It's one sign Obama's race speech might have worked, at least temporarily--though he also visited the state and "got lots of free media." ...
kf Fallback Position: It worked because voters didn't hear it! They only heard the MSM summaries--e.g. that he'd repudiated Wright and called for racial understanding. ... 12:49 P.M.

1001 Spikes is a "cruel" and challenging platformer from Nicalis hitting Vita this year
Nicalis has announced 1001 Spikes and its coming to Vita this year. The team used Spelunker and Challenger as inspirations, but don't let the retro 8-bit art style fool you: this will be an "incredibly difficult platformer with very precise controls requiring pixel-perfect inputs," according to the developer.

Cave Story+ coming to 3DS eShop in the next month
Nicalis' Tyrone Rodriguez has said Cave Story+ will be heading to 3DS eShop within the next month or so. Rodriguez told Destructoid would be separate from Cave Story 3D and not an update, meaning past purchasers of 3D will have to purchase +. He further teased upcoming updates for the Steam version, noting: "How do online leaderboards for the challenges sound?"

Quick Quotes: Nicalis on 2D sprites in Cave Story 3D
"When we started on the project back in December, I really wanted to find a way to make 2D characters also work in 3D space. Being a Cave Story fan myself, I thought other fans would probably appreciate it too. Anyway, we've spent a lot of time testing and making sure it works right, but now we have 2D characters in the 3D game. This includes the main character, Curly, all the Mimiga– literally every character and boss in the game as 2D sprites in a 3D world. What you won't see, due to the fact that it's a new engine and differences between the hardware, are the environments in 2D or the WiiWare sprites and art." – Tyrone Rodriguez, producer and music director on Cave Story 3D (via D'toid).

Public demand for Florence Foster Jenkins, music history's worst operatic soprano, reached it's height when she sang at Carnegie Hall in 1944 to a sold-out audience.
People wanted to see her, not because she was great, but to laugh at her. And she, convinced of her greatness, mistook their ridicule for applause.
The bizarre and hilarious true story of Jenkins, as told by the actors of Act 1 Scene 1 theater company, highlights a risk all artists take in performing their crafts.
"Actors are all insecure. I think that is why we do what we do. We need that reassurance," said Roxane Gray, who plays Jenkins in Act 1 Scene 1's "Souvenir," which opens Friday in Port Arthur. "As soon as you step out on the stage, you wonder, 'Are they going to like me?'"
This play is a break from the season of comedies from Act 1 Scene 1 in that it is not slapstick, but a deeper, situational comedy.
"It's a comedy but it is also very touching," said Gray.
"Souvenir" is a memory play, told dramatically by Jenkins' shy accompanist, Cosme McMoon, played by Benny Bryan, and reveals how in the uptight, wealthy New York society of 1930s, against Jenkins' strong character, no one can convince her of what she is or isn't.

Mac Back for Leeds |
International - Americans Overseas |
MacDonald broke a bone and tore a tendon on his hand. But after a ten-week layoff he is back ready to play, and could be starting against the Bedford Blues in the RFU Championship playoffs this weekend. Coming back, said MacDonald, wasn't too hard. He just had to wait for it to heal more than anything. "I was able to stay quite involved with the team and what the game plans were," MacDonald told RUGBYMag.com. "The hard part was just having to sit and watch without being able to help out on the field. It was really frustrating." The former Cal captain and current all-time leading caps-earner for the USA is a veteran on a Leeds team that is in something of a rebuilding stage. "The team is young and are learning on the job," said MacDonald, who will suit up with former and (he hopes, future) Eagle Robbie Shaw. "I am hoping to try to help solidify the set piece and add a level head when we start to come under pressure." MacDonald said he still intends to make himself available for the USA National Team, and will be part of a solid group of veteran props hoping to break back into the Eagles. Of course, if he helps Leeds make it to the Championship final, that's a two-game series May 23 and May 30, which abuts the first USA assembly. So whether MacDonald will need to take time off or not is unclear. "I'm hoping that i can help out in any way that I can," he said. |

Records were broken one after another for Old Master paintings, medieval manuscripts and antiques of every variety at Christie's today as more than three and a half hours of feverish bidding erupted over a trove of treasures looted by the Nazis and returned to the Rothschild family this year by the Austrian Government.
Prized Frans Hals portraits, an illuminated medieval prayer book and a Louis XVI royal commode were among the highlights that attracted record-shattering bids for the more than 200 lots, holdings from the Austrian branch of the great banking family.
The sale jammed Christie's Great Hall to overflow, with many members of other branches of the Rothschild family present and bidding, officials at the auction house said. Virtually every item sold, most for more than their estimated prices.
Expected to bring in $40 million, the sale totaled $89.9 million as it reached its exhausting ending.
A spokesman for Christie's said 10 records were set: five for Old Master paintings and one each for an illuminated manuscript sold at auction, an Italian manuscript sold at auction, a piece of furniture sold at auction, a clock sold at auction and a carpet sold at auction.

The brief NBA Development League career of Rockets rookie Royce White could be over. Whether a career in the NBA can be salvaged remains unclear after the latest stunning turn in his tumultuous season. White announced via Twitter that he was leaving the Rio Grande Valley Vipers to be in Houston for the remainder of the season at the advice of the team physician. He did not offer any explanation, but later said he was returning to Houston, not the Rockets. Rockets officials, however, would not comment, potentially indicating that they were not a part of the decision. Even less clear is whether the agreement that White considered necessary to report to the D-League in February will protect him should the Rockets wish to suspend him again.

Dickinson's Office of Diversity Initiatives will present unique opportunities for the campus community to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. A panel discussion and An Evening With King are planned for the 2nd Annual MLK Institute: MLK and the Millennial Generation on Friday, Feb. 10.
"It is important that the community take the time to pause, reflect and respond to the ways in which this historic icon challenged our country and our world to think critically about our coexistence and the ways we engage one another," says Norm Jones, dean of diversity and student development. "Through the institute, we are asking students to explore Dr. King's relevance in the context of our contemporary world as well as their lived experience. Engaging in this kind of reflection allows students to make important connections between our collective history, our current political and social realities and our obligations as a society to perpetuate and continually realize the dream that Dr. King so nobly advanced," says Jones.
The following events are free and open to the public:
Panel Discussion12:30-1:30 p.m.Stern Center, Great Room
A panel of experts moderated by Joyce Bylander, special assistant to the president for institutional and diversity initiatives, will discuss Martin Luther King Jr.'s work in a free public event. Panelists include Dr. Vernan Carraway, Martin Luther King Jr. scholar and re-enactor; Mara Donaldson, professor of religion and Africana studies; Brenda Bretz, associate provost for curriculum; and Leonard Brown, dean of students and associate vice president for student development.
Speech Contest4-5 p.m.Weiss 235
Round two of a competition to identify the student-delivered speech that best reflects a personal understanding of Martin Luther King Jr.'s work and how that understanding has been integrated and demonstrated in their personal behavior, social interactions and sense of place in the larger world. Cash prizes for first, second and third place will be awarded.
"An Evening with King"7-8 p.m.Mathers Theatre
Dr. Vernan Carraway will perform vignettes of King's speeches and essays. He also will offer personal commentary on the relevance of these pieces in contemporary society. *Check out more about the MLK Institute and the Voices of the People Initiative here.

You could always try installing the Nokia Energy Profiler v1.2 to see where consumption arising from:http://www.forum.nokia.com/Technology_Topics/Appli
2009-12-07 5:07
Yeah, investigate with the Profiler.
Are you sure v400 chomps on power? v300 gives 3-5 days depending on usage.

First of all, can you share as to how you moved to the new FW? I am on 300.21.012.

I did update to firmware 4 and I noticed the same with the aforementioned. After 10 hours or so the battery level drops significantly.
I restored contacts via nokia suite. Keep in mind that restoring via sd card always introduce serious problems when upgrading firmware (gps stops working, wifi halts,etc). For the same reason I am always biased to restore settings even from nokia suite. I restore only contacts, calendar and messages.
I did not installed any other software except nokia energy profiler and it showed the same amount of watts consumed as before(~0.02W - ~0.04W while locked and screen turned off).
Then I figured what was wrong.. Although the battery was dropped to 2 bars(1st day), it stayed to 2 bars for one & half days then dropped to 1 bar and stayed for one day more and all this while I was using the phone to make or receive calls.
So, clearly there is a bug in the "power level consumed figuring out algorithm".
I hope that helps..
2009-12-09 16:10 - edited 2009-12-09 16:12
I just want to add that this is a serious bug due to enormous psycological effects to the user.
If you dont know when to recharge is like a car with broken fuel gauge.
So, I assume that they will fix it shortly.
I only pitty myself that I have to do all the upgrade procedure from the start.
Other than that the firmware is ok. I hope not to introduce new bugs with the new firmware.
Get it right Nokia!
2010-01-08 22:32
I also noticed the same problem. Before update I get 5-6 days battery life, now only 1-2.
I also tried to uninstall email client from apps, but batery life is same..
Any suggestions?

My E71 had a problem with Garmin. Garmin was running background process (in the options it was disabled!) and i turned it off again now it's everything back to normal or even better power consumption!
So try to find the background service with some processes listing program and you'll have the solution.
2010-01-09 13:56 - edited 2010-01-09 13:58
To resolve this problem follow the steps below;
1-) Delete files cardrunner.dll and cardrunner.rsc in your device, paths to the files in your device is as below.
2-) Then start Garmin application and go to "tools ->settings -> System" and disable the option "Launch Background service"
And that's it..

Noticed that too... on the 300 firmware nokia energy profiler showed constant energy consumption about 0,05W when not used.
Now just after the phone turns on the power consumption goes normally (http://www.image-share.com/image.php?img=133/168.p
I have no WLAN availability scanning (it's turned to 'never'), and I always turn the WLAN desktop scan off.
The funniest thing at all is that when I 'delete' the WLAN scan from desktop (in personalization options) the power consumption goes again as it was before using any WLAN connection (http://www.image-share.com/image.php?img=133/170.p
