Android – new line, shmew line
Filed Under (android, java, programming) by Nathan Schwermann on 26-01-2010
Tagged Under : android, java, programming
In a previous blog post I talked about how to avoid having your users make a new line when the press enter on an EditText view in your Android applications. It was a hack way where you had to make your own EditText class and override onKeyDown. It works just fine but since then I have found a much easier way to achieve the same goal.
First your activity or dialog needs to implement OnEditorActionListener, set the onEditorActionListener in onCreate and…. thats it!!!! Right out of the box the implemented method automatically cancels sends a null character instead of a new line character when you press enter.
public class AdjustStringDialog extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener, OnEditorActionListener{ private EditText editTextView; public AdjustStringDialog(Context context, UnderlinedView mV) { super(context); setTitle("My Dialog Box"); } @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.adjuststring); retisterViews(); editTextView.setOnEditorActionListener(this); } private void retisterViews() { editTextView = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editString); findViewById(R.id.finishedAdjustString).setOnClickListener(this); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { closeDialog(); } private void closeDialog() { //do what you want with the entered text dismiss(); //update UI with new text if needed } @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { closeDialog(); return false; } }
Of course you can detect any key that is being pressed aside from the enter key with the event argument, and you can handle cases like the 'Next' button with actionId as well. Know any other ways to accomplish this, or care to share something you implemented with onEditorAction feel free to comment!
Cheers and happy 2010!

The annoying directioners. Normally between the ages of 8-12. A new directioner. A directioner who has just entered the fandom and feels as if they have to connect everyday words to one direction. Normal directioners will just ignore the use of the word "pussy" but carrots will automatically be like "ermahgerd hazza1!!1!!"
Girl 1: here's a spoon for your soup
Girl 2: oh my god Karen, you're so stupid, I can't use a spoon! Liam has a fear of spoons so I do to

a vegetable, one of several that make for an excellent "penis". Available in various lengths and circumferences. Some have enticing "bumpies" on them for extra stimulation. Best washed and dried before use (who knows where they've been !) Similar to zuchini, cucumbers,leeks.
When she has to come home alone on Saturday night, she cozies up to her vegetable bin and chooses her mate from among the cucumbers, zuchini, carrots and leeks.

A cheap, healthy, edible dildo of the vegetable class. Tastes nice in stews or raw. Looks orange and tastes carroty.

Book reviews from The Free Lance-Star.
Pot-apocalyptic novel nuanced
Gifted writer takes on world of horror
By Drew Gallagher
THE APPEARANCE of literary fiction on best-seller lists these days is almost as rare as jobs for graduating English majors. So I was pleased and intrigued when I saw that Peter Heller's novel "The Dog Stars" débuted on the New York Times list at No. 13.
Heller's having a novel on the list is especially interesting because he's not one of the established heavy hitters like John Irving or Stephen King, whose novels have to make an obligatory appearance regardless of merit (though those reputations are certainly earned). He has written a number of nonfiction books and is a popular contributor on NPR, but those factors do not a best-seller make and this is his first foray into fiction. In short, I was pulling for Heller, and was hoping that "The Dog Stars" wouldn't disappoint. "The Dog Stars" did not disappoint.
In a post-apocalyptic world that authors like Cormac McCarthy and James Howard Kunstler have mined so well recently, Heller has given us a nuanced novel to be savored, a novel that manages to find beauty and love in a world full of horror and pain. It is a novel that deserves its spot on the best-seller list, and one hopes that stay will be an extended one.
Hig and his dog Jasper have escaped a flu virus that has seemingly killed off most of the world's population. Hig owns a Cessna at the local airport and retreats there to await his future that has surprisingly lasted nine years already. His only companion, other than his dog, is Bangley, a secretive older man who is also holed up at the airport building with an arsenal of weapons and who tolerates Hig mostly because he has an airplane at his disposal and can use it for surveillance. And they need surveillance.
The end of the known world, is not a pretty place and the remaining survivors are plagued by hunger and thirst and the well-stocked airport compound is targeted often. The marauders, and a distant radio transmission, are evidence that life has continued in other pockets of the world, and Hig decides to take off in his Cessna to gather news and maybe supplies to bring back to Bangley. The exploratory junket puts both men in grave danger.
As one might expect, the extinction of most of the world's population is ripe with pathos, but it's the disappearing aspects of nature—trout and elk—that resonate deeper with Hig and the reader. When you've lost everything only to find that the world wasn't quite as empty as you imagined, then the true fight begins.

This is some blog description about this site
A Partnership for National Unity (A.P.N.U) has, as a consequence of the many and serious discrepancies in the computation of the results, particularly for Region 4, asked its Assistant Election Agent for Region 4 and senior A.P.N.U leaders, to engage in the procedure of verification on which the computation, that is the basis for the declaration by the Returning Officer for Region 4, will be based.
(Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine speaking with EAB Observers after a Press Conference held on Thursday 1 December 2011 at Congress Place.)
In addition, A.P.N.U has, this morning, dispatched a letter to Mr. Gocool Boodhoo, the Chief Elections Officer, reiterating our position that the final declaration should result from an "all party verification" of the SOP's for Region 4 and any other Region where serious discrepancies are found to exist.
It is unfortunate that reports continued to be received of questionable discrepancies as well as the tampering and unauthorised modification of Statements of Poll.
A.P.N.U, as a responsible Party, has asked its supporters to remain calm though vigilant and avoid responding to the various provocative statements and actions being perpetrated at this time. It is evident that the PPP's agents are bent on engineering incidents to distract attention from their sinister intents regarding the influencing of the results to be declared by GECOM.
1st December 2011
Mr. Gocool Boodhoo
Chief Election Officer
High Street
Dear Mr. Boodhoo,
We write to inform you that APNU has in its possession compelling SOP based evidence that there may be serious discrepancies between APNU's SOPs and the SOPs being entered into your system at GECOM.
We wish to alert you that in the event that the verification exercise about to be engaged at the Region 4 Returning Officer's office confirms that we are in the presence of unacceptable discrepancies, it is our decision to base our acceptance of the Final Declaration ONLY on an all-party and GECOM verification process of the SOPs of Region 4 and any other Region where such discrepancies are found to exist.
Joseph Harmon
Election Agent, APNU

Xenakis 22 Feb 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Indian Mujahideen suspected in bombing in Hyderabad Indian Mujahideen linked to Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Toiba Stock market has 'mini-panic' over Fed QE signal The Fed's falling inflation expectations Mainstream economists' failing recovery forecasts Indian Mujahideen suspected in bombing in Hyderabad Bomb site in Hyderabad (AP) Two terrorist bombings killed 13 people and injured dozens others in a crowded marketplace in Hyderabad in India. No one has yet claimed responsibility, but terrorist group Indian Mujahideen (IM) is suspected. India's security establishment is coming under criticism for ignoring the interrogation of an IM operative in Delhi in October. The interrogation revealed three planned sites for terror attacks, one of which was Thursday's Hyderabad site. DNA India and Times of India Indian Mujahideen linked to Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Toiba The Indian Mujahideen (IM) was founded by Abdul Subhan Usman Qureshi, who had come from an economically privileged background. and was educated at a school run by a Christian missionary in Mumbai. Anger at the mainstream media is cited by IM cadres as a motivator. It is argued that the mainstream media turns a blind eye to Hindu fundamentalist groups while mostly linking the fundamental nature of Islam to terrorism. IM is closely linked to Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which supplies weapons and direction to IM. An objective of IM is to tie up India's security forces in India, giving LeT a free hand. Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) Stock market has 'mini-panic' over Fed QE signal The minutes from the Federal Reserve's January 29-30 meeting were released on Wednesday, and they "hinted" that some people at the Fed were getting concerned about the massive amount of money that the Fed is "printing" each month. There was a time, before 2008, when $60 billion dollars of one-time fiscal or monetary stimulus would have been considered an astronomical amount, and would have triggered national debate. But those days are long gone. For the last year or so, the Fed has been using quantitative easing to inject $85 billion dollars of monetary stimulus EVERY MONTH. The result was a kind of two-day "mini-panic" in the stock market. I listen to the financial people on CNBC and Bloomberg TV -- as much as I can stand them -- and there's really no longer any pretense that the stock market represents anything real anymore. Everyone knows that the $85 billion in monthly stimulus hasn't help any ordinary people or small businesses. Instead, it goes to the investment banks and into the stock markets, so that the bankers can continue to pay themselves multi-million dollar bonuses and kick the money back into Obama campaign contributions. So when the Fed hinted that the $85 billion might be cut back, the stock market mini-panic began. Bloomberg The Fed's falling inflation expectations If the Fed had "printed" $85 billion per month of new money in the 70s, 80s or 90s, then inflation would have skyrocketed. But those days are past. As Alan Greenspan has pointed out, every single standard macroeconomic model has been completely wrong since 2007. The reason they've been wrong is that they're based on data from the 70s, 80s and 90s, when the Silent Generation was in charge. Today, the Gen-Xers and the Boomers are in charge, and the culture is now one of fraud, extortion, and screwing people. Today's culture is like the 1930s, and the only macroeconomic models that will work should be base on 1930s data. The Fed puts out a regular report on "inflation expections" -- how much they expect inflation to rise in the current year, in the following year, and in each year for the next ten years. Unfortunately, the Fed's inflation forecasts have been abysmally wrong, year after year. Here's a chart of the Fed's inflation expectations as of February in each of the three past years: Fed 'Inflation Expectations' in Feb '11, Feb '12, and Feb '13 (Marcus Nunes) There are two interesting things about the above chart. One is that the Fed's inflation expectations have been falling each year, reflecting the fact that inflation itself has been falling. The second interesting thing is that the Fed's models have been wrong every year in exactly the same way. Each year they predict a brief period of falling inflation, then a period of rising inflation. Instead, inflation keeps falling, and expectations keep falling. Since 2003, I have been writing that, in this generational Crisis era, our economy is in a deflationary spiral. Since 2003, mainstream economists have been predicting that there would be inflation or hyperinflation the following year. They've been wrong every, and I've been right. Marcus Nunes Mainstream economists' failing recovery forecasts Mainstream economists are always predicting that prosperity is just around the corner, so that people will buy their stocks or bonds or whatever. Each month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasts when there will be a full economic recovery. The Economic Policy Institute has done a study of the CBO forecasts for the last four years, and found that they have failed in exactly the same sort of way that the Fed's inflation forecasts had failed. Here's a chart of the CBO recovery predictions for January of each of the last few years: v CBO forecasts of full economic recovery, Jan '08, Jan '09, Jan '10, Jan '11, Jan '12, and Feb '13. (Economic Policy Institute) So, in Jan 2008, the were project full recovery by 2011. By Jan 2011, it would be 2016. And the latest projection, from February of this year, puts the forecast of full economic recovery at 2018. As I've written many, many times, mainstream economists have no clue about what's going on. They didn't predict, and can't explain, the tech bubble of the 1990s, the real estate bubble, the credit bubble, the credit crunch of 2007, the collapse of 2008, they had no idea what was going to happen in 2012, and they don't have the vaguest clue what's going to happen in the next year. Unfortunately, with the Gen-Xers increasingly in charge, the worst is yet to come.

Lynchburg College has numerous Yellow Box and Blue Light telephones all over campus, as well as emergency notification systems, and a Daily Crime Log is posted online. Despite this, a surprising number of sex offenses (anywhere from 3 to 8 a year) occur, as well as aggravated assaults. The amount of burglaries is average for a college of this size. There are anywhere from 15 to 50 drug- and alcohol-related arrests each semester. Lynchburg College is located in a moderately safe area of Lynchburg, though the Dearington and 12th street areas are nearby, and have the highest crime rates in Lynchburg. The crime rate in Lynchburg is high for its size, though most people don't feel crime is a big issue.

Models who bleach skin banned from Dakar Fashion Week
- Written by Kori Tuitt/NNPA News Service
- Published in News
Dakar Fashion Week in Senegal has been showcasing beautiful African women and fashion since 2002 – but this year, the founder had something new in store.
Sengalese fashion designer Adama Ndiaye reportedly said she banned models from the Dakar Fashion Week who lighten their skin, a process which she refers to as "depigmentation."
Ndiaye told FashionGhana.com that she's against the practice and doesn't find it pretty.
"I'm trying to teach them to like themselves," she told the publication.
According to a 2011 World Health Organization report, many women in several African countries use products to lighten their skin regularly. In Senegal, 27 percent of women are reported to bleach their skin. But the percentages of women who bleach their skin in other countries are much higher: 77 percent of women in Nigeria, 59 percent of women in Togo and 35 percent of women in South Africa.
The popularity of skin bleaching varies across cultures, races and ethnicities, but the process is hazardous. According to the World Health Organization report, a common ingredient in lightening products is (inorganic) mercury. Mercury hinders the creation of melanin.
"Generally, skin whitening is a symptom of the African's hatred of himself," said Oscar Bamuhigire, a psychologist who lives in Uganda and has written articles on skin lightening. "Most Black Africans suffer from a hatred of their own selves, which is a consequence of the trauma inflicted upon them by many years of colonialism, neocolonialism, slavery and apartheid."
Although some may feel beautiful in their new skin, the long-term effects of the exposure to mercury range from scarring to rashes to kidney damage. This practice is not only injurious to oneself, but also hazardous to others; mercury eventually enters the food chain, affecting fish and water. The report explains that pregnant women who eat the contaminated fish can pass the mercury on to their unborn children.
Oulimata Ba, who is Senegalese-American, said although she has never lightened her complexion, she knows family members who have. Ba was happy to hear what Ndiaye is now doing with Dakar Fashion Week.
"I think it's a wonderful thing she's doing, but that action alone is not enough," she said.
Ba added that the European standards of beauty are so deeply ingrained in the culture that this ban of skin-bleaching models cannot make a huge change. But she hopes it's a catalyst for more to come.
"It's funny because Senegalese women are very proud to be African," Ba said, "but it's a huge contradiction."

- Always a good timeCToler529VIPDined on 9/10/2014We love visiting Arni's. It's great for a family and lots to choose from on the menu. The host / hostess are always very friendly when greeting us (heck they know us by now). We also typically have great service in the dining room. The only improvement I think would be adding additional TVs around the dining room to be able to watch sports.Special Features:
- Great little restaurantIndyJeanDined on 9/6/2014Even though Arni's can be a little on the noisy side,you expect it. People with families go there. It's a happy place. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive. We had a question about cutting our pizza into triangles instead of squares and he made sure it was. The pizza was delicious. The draft beer selection could be expanded but we found a good one we liked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great experienceCToler529VIPDined on 6/29/2014We always have a great experience at Arni's. Everyone their is so great with our toddler and he loves all of the attention he receives from the host staff and servers. The manager usually takes time to come visit as well, which is nice. The food is always great as well, which is nice to know we are always going to be satisfied with our meal.Special Features:
- Love this placeFood4thoughtDined on 6/4/2014I love this place. The food is fantastic and their Long Island Ice Tea is wonderful. It is a good place to go for 2 people to a group of people. The pizza is my favorite and the fried pickles are great. Like I said I really like this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to meet up...CToler529VIPDined on 4/18/2014We love meeting up with friends and/or family at Arni's. They do a really great job with kids and families. The food is always great and the servers are very accommodating when you would like to make changes or substitutions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchIndyJeanDined on 11/4/2013We were looking for a convenient place for lunch and thought of Arni's. We hadn't been there in a while but will be going back again. We both had the Asian Salad with dressing on the side. There was plenty of grilled chicken, the vegetables were crisp, and the waitress was very attentive and replaced our sodas often. Gotta add that the garlic bread that came with our lunch was terrific (we asked for another piece). We will definitely be going back here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor ServicehappymadieDined on 10/18/2013We were there for over 2 hours. When we arrived, we were seated right away which was wonderful for a Friday night. The food was great. The waitress however was not. We all received our salads, one of our party was asked if she wanted her salad with the rest of us since she ordered it as a meal. She said she did. She did not get her salad until everyone else had their meal finished. We had other errors with our ordered food. It was good once it was given to us, but we had to wait. It took forever to get refils. On the way out one of the hostess aske how it was and we told her, she blew off my mother. Not sure if she will be going back to this location.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thanks for the RSVPLeLeaDined on 10/14/2013It is great to be able to male reservations. The service was good and the food was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun night at ArnisOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/17/2013For my husband's birthday we headed to Arnis, and weren't disappointed. It is a place we like to gather for special occasions. We were seated quickly, and the wait staff was helpful and attentive without hovering. Our food looked and tasted great. We swapped some food to get a taste of what we might be missing, and shared some desserts to make sure everyone was happy. Thanks for a memorable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just not as fun a place sinceChefkenVIPDined on 2/16/2013Just not as fun a place since Suzanne left. The general manager was our server....seemed like he could use a few training sessions. Didn't ask if we wanted anything else when we ordered dessert. Had to then wait for our check. Didn't introduce himself....just doesn't feel as welcome. Just goes to show how important it is to surround yourself with excellent wait staff.
- ARNI's GREENWOODluvthisplaceDined on 1/21/2013This was our first visit to this Arni's location and there were sixteen of us for dinner. Overall, everything was GREAT! They offer a wide variety of items on their menu, including some well chosen kid-friendly items! We will return for another visit! The server was friendly, upbeat, proficient and understanding, as we had our 8 grandchildren with us (the oldest one is 6). He kept our drinks filled, made sure we had any extras like napkins, straws, ketchup, silverware, etc. Their hostess was also very pleasant and helpful in getting us seated.Special Features:
- A nice local restaurant withChefkenVIPDined on 1/18/2013A nice local restaurant with good food for the prices. Not quite the same without our favorite waitress, but still we were treated well and efficiently. As frequent guests, I am curious when new items will appear on the menu.

- Dropped in for a quick biteChefkenVIPDined on 5/27/2012Dropped in for a quick bite on the weekend. Service with our favorite waitress assured prompt attention. The food was okay (fish and chips) and in plenty supply, but the fries were a bit soggy. It has become our go to place for a quick night out.Special Features:
- Dinner with our granddaughtersChefkenVIPDined on 4/25/2012Dinner with our granddaughters worked out really well. We got a booth which helped contain the inevitable mess that occurs with small children and large servings. Arni's had a nice selection of kid's items which we split between the girls. I went with the Neo-Classic burger with a pretzel bun, 1/2 pound of beef. Very tasty. My wife went with the "piglets" shredde pork sliders. Topped off the evening with our favorite Oreo Brownie Blast.Special Features:
- A spur of the moment decision,ChefkenVIPDined on 4/20/2012A spur of the moment decision, we got some of our regular food. I had the shredded pork sliders with an upgrade to sweet potato fries. We split the Oreo Brownie Blast of brownie, oreos, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream for dessert. One of our favorite desserts on the south side.Special Features:

- I like to try different itemsChefkenVIPDined on 1/10/2012I like to try different items each time I go to this neighborhood restaurant. I tried one of the new burgers on a pretzel bun. I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy and delicious the burger turned out. The fries were crisp without being overcooked. They were lightly seasoned as well which added to the flavor. I also split a dessert with my wife that was chocolate brownie with ice cream. Very tasty as well. Very nice atmosphere in the fireplace room, but they could take time to take down the Christmas decorations since it was the 10th of January. We enjoy going here for a quick bite to eat without having to travel downtown.Special Features:

Campus Gardens
These outdoor, living classrooms offer hands-on learning opportunities
A distinctive feature of Prescott College's campus is its many gardens. These outdoor, living classrooms offer hands-on learning opportunities for agroecology students and many were created as senior projects of graduates in this program. They are coordinated by Environmental Studies Instructor Rebekah Doyle and maintained through class projects, student workers, and volunteers. The gardens provide spaces for experimenting with ecological growing techniques as well as food for the Crossroads Café. Students compost café food waste and apply the finished amendment to the garden beds.
These mixtures of crops and flowers create natural history moments and a vibrant atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

We feel it is important to offer a complimentary cosmetic surgery consultation in our Dallas office. This helps us ensure that you are fully educated about the cosmetic surgery procedures you are considering.
Because each individual is unique, it is preferred that you come in for a private consultation with Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai. However, we offer a few other options:
Telephone consultation – Contact our office to schedule a time to speak to our Surgical Consultant. Our consultant will spend time discussing procedures that are of interest to you and answering all of your questions. On select procedures, ranges of cost are provided as well.
Email consultation – For our out-of-town patients, we offer cosmetic surgery consultations via email. Simply email your photos with a detailed description of your desires and goals. Dr. Rai reviews the photos and the Surgical Consultant will respond via email with the doctor's recommendations plus pricing. After booking, the Surgical Consultant will communicate with you regularly, confirming that you are fully prepared for your surgery day. **Patients are required to schedule their personal consultation/preoperative appointment no later than 24hrs prior to their scheduled surgery time.
Personal cosmetic surgery consultation- This is the preferred consultation to determine what procedure will be best to fulfill your goals. During your Dallas cosmetic surgery consultation, you will meet with plastic surgeon in Dallas, Dr. Rai, personally, for a majority of the visit. He listens to your goals, makes recommendations, and answers all questions. You will spend approximately 45 minutes with Dr. Rai, review photos, and receive your formal price quote at this time.
What to Expect the Day You Arrive for Your Dallas Cosmetic Surgery Consultation
We are conveniently located in professional building C of Medical City Hospital in Dallas. Click here to download patient forms. You can print out the completed forms and bring them with you or email them directly to our office in advance of your appointment to avoid having to arrive early to fill out your paperwork.

Dr. Rai will come in and begin by asking you to discuss your concerns and desires. After his examination, he discusses surgical options, explains procedures, and then offers his recommendations. You will then be asked to dress and meet in the consultation room. Here you have the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Rai and view pre- and post-operative photos. You may ask any residual questions at that time. After consulting with Dr. Rai, our patient coordinator will speak to you, privately, regarding procedure costs.

Impreuna cu ajutorul comunitati Rogather.ro incercam sa resuscitam canalul de #cs.gather.ro (de 1.6) cu aceasta ocazie vreau sa le multumesc baietilor din aceasta cumunitatea si stafului meu actual!
P.S Sper sa realizam lucruri frumoase impreuna!
Va asteaptam pe Ts : ts.rogather.ro
O seara frumoasa!
Sevgili Gather-Network oyunculari,
#cs.gather.tr ucp anti cheat ile aktif edilmistir, ucp anti cheat kurarak oyuna baglanabilirsiniz.
Ucp anti cheat kurulumu hakkinda bilgi : http://www.frmtr.com/counter-strike-online/3235514-ucp-anti-hile-kurulumu-sxe-nin-yerini-alacak-olan-anti-hile.html
Iyi eglenceler.
Dear members,
As you have noticed, the CS1.6 activity on Gather-Network has seriously decreased over the last few months... and today seems to have come to a stop.
I am shared between a sad feeling of seeing the community leaving for new adventures, and the satisfaction of the job accomplished.
It is clear that IRC and Counter-Strike 1.6 have made their time, and that the future of online FPS is Global-Offensive. We tried to follow this move with the CS:GO support, but the built-in matchmaker and the multiplication of other 'gather-like' websites compromised our efforts.
It is for sure still possible to develop a brand new project and evolve into a sophisticated CS:GO gather community. We have the user base and the existing structure for that.
But I will be very honest with you, I won't be able to do that myself. Not only because of my technical limitations to meet today's coding standards, it's also personal. Two days ago, I celebrated my 32nd birthday. I am not playing online for many years, and I feel like I don't have the required knowledge of actual games to create something great for this generation of players.
So is this the end ? I could be, but it does not have to. I am calling any talented and extra-motivated coder to take over my position and boost the Gather-Network adventure to a brand new level.
If you have a lot of free time, very good coding skills, and plenty of ideas for GN, just throw me an email to email@example.com with your project. Everyone is welcome: members, visitors, even competitors !
Practically, the website and the bots will stay online for the moment, but I won't be able to keep those forever for financial reason. Later on, I may try to find a free hosting to at least keep the website online.
Finally, I want to sincerely thank you ALL for believing in us during all those years. You enthusiasm and dedication made this community such a nice place to be.
All the best, Gamers !

Dear members,
Starting today, you won't need to run the EAC software anymore to play on the Gather-Network.
This was not our favorite option, but with the decreasing popularity of Counter-Strike, we are not able to afford the cost of the EAC licence anymore.
We are looking for alternative (free) anticheat solutions. Do not hesitate to post your suggestions as comments below.
In the meantime, we restored the '.demo' command for admins and AC Team members. This will help, together with the automatic HLTV records, to track and ban cheaters on the Gather-Network.

ICF International
Fairfax, Virginia, October 26, 2009 -
ICF Incorporated, LLC, a subsidiary of ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), announced today that it has won five new contracts totaling over $5 million to support a variety of U.S. federal agencies with climate change and sustainability efforts. As a result of the recent Executive Order for Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, the federal government has reinforced its commitment to the sustainable and climate friendly operations of federal agencies.
These contracts with five different federal agencies include emissions inventory support, efforts to improve energy conservation, and assessing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from federal agencies. In the largest contract for $2.9 million from the Federal Highway Administration, ICF will support efforts to adapt to the effects of climate change on transportation systems along the Gulf Coast. Adaptation efforts are becoming an important component in understanding and planning for the effects of climate change."ICF has amassed significant expertise leading complex multidisciplinary projects on climate change impacts and adaptation," said Anne Choate, ICF vice president. "We are thrilled to be working on perhaps the biggest adaptation project that the U.S. government has funded to date." "We are privileged to support continuing federal leadership in addressing climate change and sustainability challenges and their solutions," added Randall Freed, ICF senior vice president. "Executive Order 13514 challenges U.S. government agencies to lead the way across many dimensions of sustainability, and ICF has the unique capability to support these agencies in every dimension, starting with greenhouse gas inventories and plans."

Slideshow arrows on hover [The New Standard] This post is outdated
Using the new standard theme I recently added arrows to the slideshow that only appear on hover, while at the same time pausing the autoslide. If anyone is interested in the code just write an answer and I'll post it!
Have in mind that I'm quite novice in the area of javascript, so my solution probably won't be the most elegant.

A little about me...
I love my family and good friends. I am easy going and always ready to help anyone who needs it. I enjoy the simple things in life, like going for walks, bingo, shopping, taking a ride just to take a ride... I also enjoy the finer things as well, like fine dining, nice hotels, etc... Also I have a sense of humor. I'm always trying to find a better way to view whatever comes my way. I also enjoy quiet time. I am very affectionate.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would love to find my best friend. Someone who is loving, caring and open minded. I would like to meet someone who does not mind holding hands or kissing in public. Relationships are what I value and I am looking for someone who feels the same way.
Trustworthy, true lasting love, loaded with passion. Someone who is honest, warm and caring who is into romance and being sensual.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy building models, going to air shows, and going to races. Romantic evenings.
My vision of a perfect date would be dinner, wine, conversation, and hopefully compatibility.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is calling South Pittsburg High School's pre-game prayer service, dubbed "Meet Me at the 50," unconstitutional.Photo by WRCB-TV Channel 3 /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
After sending two letters in as many weeks to public schools in the region over religious activities on school property, a government and religion watchdog group says a large Christian event organized by Hamilton County Schools faculty on Sunday was perfectly OK -- since it was held out of classrooms.
Public school teachers, administrators and staff gathered at Silverdale Baptist Church on Bonny Oaks Drive on Sunday to hold a prayer service for the county school system and its 44,000 students.
A Facebook page for the event said all Hamilton County Department of Education employees were "invited for an evening of praise, prayer and worship."
Organizers suggested staff and community members wear their school shirts and "prepare [their hearts] for worship."
Rebecca Markert, a staff attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based group that has challenged a number of schools and local governments in the area over separation of church and state issues, says the event, on its face, seemed to pass constitutional muster.
"I think if it was truly initiated off of school time, and they were participating in their individual capacities and not in their capacities as public school officials, then I think it's fine," Markert said.
Karen Hollis, an elementary education director at the school system's central office, was one of the event's organizers. She said Monday that planners were careful to keep the event separate from their daily school duties.
"We wanted to be careful with that, since everyone is a Hamilton County employee, we didn't use the Hamilton County email and all that. We had basically two forms of communication. That was Facebook and word of mouth," Hollis said. "We did it on our own, and we did it on our own time."
Planning meetings for the event were held at the church, after school hours, she said.
The event, named What If Chattanooga, was "completely voluntary" and aimed at staff members, not students, she said. It was mainly aimed at challenging school staff to look beyond stereotypes and treat people with kindness, Hollis said.
"What if we allowed God to change us, what if we saw kids and parents and co-workers through his eyes and not ours. ... How could that impact not just a classroom, but a family or a community?" Hollis said.
Originally the vision of Ruthie Panni, a Wolftever Creek Elementary teacher, organizers hope to make the service an annual event, Hollis said.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent letters to Hardy Elementary School in late August and South Pittsburg High School last week over separate religious activities.
The foundation asked officials at Hardy Elementary to cease monthly after-school prayer walks at the school, saying the activities endorsed one religion over another.
Hardy Principal Annette Ferguson said the prayer walks were optional and held after school hours.
At South Pittsburg High School, the foundation disputed the appropriateness of prayer circles on the 50-yard-line before football games.
Last year, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga stopped public prayer before football games after receiving a letter from the group. And the foundation took issue with prayer and church-sponsored meals for Ridgeland High School football players.

Effective time management is apparently elusive. Witness the massive industry dedicated to helping us navigate the clock more successfully. We have software programs, day planners, apps, calendars, training programs – you name it.
I find that most of these resources are only modestly useful. My theory is that the thinkers behind these products have over-thought the problem. They have made their solutions overly complex. If a given time management system takes hours to learn is it really saving you time?
I'd like to offer you something far more focused, simple, and intuitive. Did I mention it is free? You're welcome.
I will offer you three simple rules that will immediately make obsolete the entire time management industry. Follow these three rules and you will significantly increase your daily productivity. A day planner and your computer calendar might help, but not if you don't understand these three rules.

Three Steps to Effective Time Management
Rule 1: Apply the 80/20 test
Versions of this rule have been applied in many decision contexts. At its core, it is simply a reminder that some things are more important than others. Specifically, the "20" are the tasks, projects, and relationships that are of the highest value. Tending to these issues effectively will significantly advance you, your team, and your organization. They are of the highest strategic importance and are your top priority.
The other tasks, projects, and relationships (the "80") are not unimportant, but they are less important. People spend far too much time everyday on the "80" instead of the "20". The items in the "80" category are great targets for delegating, automating, or outsourcing. Your goal is to never spend more than 50% of your time on the "80" items.

Rule 2: Identify your Einstein Window
While your IQ is fixed, your problem-solving ability is not. Problem solving is often a function of preparedness. One key aspect of preparedness is knowing when to work on what. Many times people will use "80" items as a means of procrastination instead of working on the more challenging "20" items.
You are smarter than that. Think about the time of day when your mental ability peaks. I call it the Einstein Window. For most people it

So just returned from a visit with the Randy Nichols, the director of safety and security at Bowdoin College up here in Maine. It's always great to sit down with a director, one-on-one, and really hear some of the issues he or she faces on a daily basis.
We discussed a variety of concerns including some of the hot topics like active shooters and IP camera systems, but when asked what his most significant concern was, the answer was alcohol. Now, I went to college, I remember how prevalent alcohol was for those of any age, but for some reason it never clicked that alcohol was such a direct security concern. Prior to his role as director, Nichols spent 27 years with the Maine State Police and said that nearly every incident he investigated, whether it was a car accident, assault or robbery, was directly associated with alcohol. And those concerns followed him into his current role. He said that all his officers are specifically trained in alcohol awareness, which makes so much sense, but it just had never occurred to me as a substantial part of a security training program. We all have our ah ha moments, I guess.
Nichols also discussed some unique initiatives he has developed for his security program including creating a career ladder for his officers. In order to move to the next level (and the next pay stage, I'm assuming) officers are required to be active in an ongoing community project. Nichols explained that while this initiative is required for career progression, officers can design their own program and choose how they want to be involved in the college community. For example, one officer is involved in the outing club and is working toward his wilderness guide certification, side-by-side with students. Nichols said this initiative gets officers directly involved with students and helps to break down the barrier between security and students. That is pretty much Nichols message as director: He wants students to feel like they can approach him and his officers and aren't afraid security is out to get them. To ensure students know who he is, Nichols meets with every incoming freshman in a small group setting during orientation.
In other interesting news, Bowdoin will be unveiling a new one card system which they will be activating over the winter holiday. To learn more about this, be sure to check out our January issue.

Register now for Chris Snee Lineman CampPosted by on June 13, 2013 – 4:34 pm
Chris Snee is offering an opportunity this summer that he never had growing up – a camp for offensive linemen.
The Giants' decorated right guard will host the Chris Snee Lineman Camp sponsored by JF Camps at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., running Monday, June 24th to Thursday, June 27th from 5-8:15 p.m. each day.
The camp is open to boys entering fifth grade to graduating 11th grade, and will be run with Pioneers head coach and camp director Jerry Flora and his staff.
"There are a limited number of linemen camps," Snee said. "I know growing up, there were none available for me, and I've heard of a few here or there in this area. But I thought I should start one and see if we can make a yearly thing out of it. The fact that I've had some success and been coached by one of the best line coaches in the NFL [Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty], I have a lot of knowledge I can share.
"It's going to be a lot of drill work, but then there will also be some fun competitions and some strongman events, which were so key in my training for all my years in the NFL, that kind of got me as strong as I was. It's going to be fun."

Minicamp Roundup Day 2Posted by on June 13, 2013 – 9:00 am
The Giants are underway at the Timex Performance Center for mandatory minicamp. Here are the latest highlights, photos, and quotes that you need to know from Day 2:
Coach Tom Coughlin on what he's seen from his running backs: "Actually, they have all worked well given the opportunities. The young kid (Cox) continues to do some good things. Between Andre (Brown) and David (Wilson), we've had good days, I think, pretty consistently. Da'Rel Scott has had a few good days. Ryan Torain, of course, has the hamstring right now." READ MORE
RB David Wilson on pass blocking: "I didn't have many opportunities last year to show that capability due to my reps and that's an area that I definitely need to show the coaches that I can handle and that's an area that a running back in the NFL definitely needs to be able to handle. I'm doing all the right things to take steps towards that and be ready for the season." READ MORE
CB Terrell Thomas on if he's still wondering how the knee will hold up: "No. Not at all, to be honest with you. I'm able to do everything. It's more just about getting comfortable and trusting myself without hesitating, without thinking, and just reacting and I'm almost there. Physically, I haven't swelled up in the last four months and I've been progressing every week and each week I get better and faster and stronger, so it's just a progression. I have to be realistic with myself knowing that I had two ACLs in one year and it's a long journey, but I'll be back and I'm going to shock a lot of people." READ MORE

Intel paying $884m for Wind River?
Financially struggling chip maker Intel is paying $884m to take over embedded operating system supplier Wind River Systems. Why would it do that, you may ask. Well, the best answer, of course, is because it can. Intel's launching and continuing support of the Moblin variant of Linux for netbooks shows that the chip maker knows …
Not entirely surprising
VxWorks is the core of IOS-KR. That sort of thing is nice to have in house
@Rupert Fiennes...
I think you mean "QNX's Neutrino" and "IOS-XR", so er... no. VxWorks has plenty of successful implementations, but that isn't one of them.
IOS XR does use QNX, never heard about KR thing though (except the K&R C of course).
They don't know what they're getting
There's an awful lot of stuff out there with an awful lot of investment behind it that uses VxWorks on chips that aren't from Intel. They're using ARM and PowerPC, even 68000! And those things and their developers with decades of ecosystem behind them aren't about to switch to an Intel chip just because VxWorks has been bought, even if Intel withdraw VxWorks-PowerPC, VxWorks-ARM, etc.
If Intel do withdraw that support I expect a lot of things will migrate to Greenhill's Integrity OS. It's not too dissimilar to VxWorks, and does support all those other CPUs that don't belong to Intel.
Is this all a symptom of Intel having ditched XScale, regretting it, not admitting the mistake, trying to cover it up with their creation of Atom, realising that Atom is a mistake too, and trying to cover that up by buying a key OS vendor with a view to force developers on to Atom? They'll have to buy all the other real time OSes too, and that'll look anti-competitive...
Intel have a lot of work to do to make x86 fit the same niches as ARM and PowerPC. Atom doesn't even come close.
MontaVista next
to be sucked into some "black hole" then.
I'm not sure how one paints Intel as "financially struggling". it's maintained profitibility, has cash in the bank, and is continuing to do research.
Full circle
Intel used to have their own POSIX-ey RTOS - iRMX - until the 90s when they flogged it off, deciding operating systems weren't worth the hassle.
Just another iteration
I wonder if Intel will do to Wind River what Wind River has done with everyone they have bought out. About the worst news an embedded developer can get is "Wind River is buying out your RTOS vendor" since you get to start all over again.
@Anonymous Coward
> "Wind River is buying out your RTOS vendor"
Yes, I remember that too. Still, at least they weren't saying that you had to change processor too (at least not very much).
