Allocates a block of memory in the heap with additional space for a debugging header and overwrite buffers (debug version only).
void *_malloc_dbg( size_t size, int blockType, const char *filename, int linenumber );
- size
- Requested size of memory block (bytes).
- blockType
- Requested type of memory block: _CLIENT_BLOCK or _NORMAL_BLOCK.
- filename
- Pointer to name of source file that requested allocation operation or NULL.
- linenumber
- Line number in source file where allocation operation was requested or NULL.
The filename and linenumber parameters are only available when _malloc_dbg has been called explicitly or the _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC preprocessor constant has been defined.
Return Value
Upon successful completion, this function either returns a pointer to the user portion of the allocated memory block, calls the new handler function, or returns NULL. See the following Remarks section for a complete description of the return behavior. See the malloc function for more information on how the new handler function is used.
_malloc_dbg is a debug version of the malloc function. When _DEBUG is not defined, each call to _malloc_dbg is reduced to a call to malloc. Both malloc and _malloc_dbg allocate a block of memory in the base heap, but _malloc_dbg offers several debugging features: buffers on either side of the user portion of the block to test for leaks, a block type parameter to track specific allocation types, and filename/linenumber information to determine the origin of allocation requests.
_malloc_dbg allocates the memory block with slightly more space than the requested size. The additional space is used by the debug heap manager to link the debug memory blocks together and to provide the application with debug header information and overwrite buffers. When the block is allocated, the user portion of the block is filled with the value 0xCD and each of the overwrite buffers are filled with 0xFD.
For information about how memory blocks are allocated, initialized, and managed in the debug version of the base heap, see Memory Management and the Debug Heap.
For information about the allocation block types and how they are used, see Types of Blocks on the Debug Heap.

With the second round of the 2013 NBA playoffs underway, the spotlight continues to shine on the league's top stars who lead their teams on a nightly basis. It's no secret that the NBA is a stars' league, where the actions of one individual largely can determine which team wins. We marvel at their abilities and at how they are able to impose their will on the game.
We might even recognize their strengths in a generic fashion -- in statements such as "he's tremendous in the post" or "he's an excellent one-on-one defender" -- but what do those really mean? What specifically makes the NBA's top players so special?
Here's a scouting look at five stars from these playoffs, including a breakdown of their top skills and what makes them great.
Stephen Curry | PG | Golden State Warriors
Skill: Shooting
In the playoffs, Curry is shooting 17-for-47 (36 percent) from beyond 25 feet (the NBA 3-point line is 23 feet, 9 inches at its farthest point). To put that into perspective, he's shooting an above-average 3-point percentage from 2 feet farther than where anyone else is shooting. And those 47 attempts from beyond 25 feet are more than any other player's total 3-point attempts other than Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Ready for more ... Upton update
The Rays are looking for their third straight win as the face the White Sox - and ex-Ray Toby Hall - open a four-game series at the Trop. Josh Wilson gets a second straight start at second base, giving IF Ty Wigginton a day off from the field.
Rays manager Joe Maddon also said that it is possible B.J. Upton could return to the team for the end of the Cleveland series this weekend. Maddon said Upton will likely report for a local rehab assignment for Class-A Vero Beach, which plays at Tampa, on Wednesday, participate in pregame that day and play 2B on Thursday. From there, the team will treat Upton on a day-by-day basis.

Here it appears indeed that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God's favour to him was plainly intimated in what he said of him, Gen. 6:8-10, where his name is mentioned five times in five lines, when once might have served to make the sense clear, as if the Holy Ghost took a pleasure in perpetuating his memory; but it appears much more in what he says to him in these verses—the informations and instructions here given him.
I. God here makes Noah the man of his counsel, communicating to him his purpose to destroy this wicked world by water. As, afterwards, he told Abraham his resolution concerning Sodom (Gen. 18:17; Shall I hide from Abraham?) so here "Shall I hide from Noah the thing that I do, seeing that he shall become a great nation?" Note, The secret of the Lord is with those that fear him (Ps. 25:14); it was with his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7), by a spirit of revelation, informing them particularly of his purposes; it is with all believers by a spirit of wisdom and faith, enabling them to understand and apply the general declarations of the written word, and the warnings there given. Now,
1. God told Noah, in general, that he would destroy the world (Gen. 6:13): The end of all flesh has come before me; I will destroy them; that is, the ruin of this wicked world is decreed and determined; it has come, that is, it will come surely, and come quickly. Noah, it is likely, in preaching to his neighbours, had warned them, in general, of the wrath of God that they would bring upon themselves by their wickedness, and now God seconds his endeavours by a particular denunciation of wrath, that Noah might try whether this would work upon them. Hence observe, (1.) That God confirmeth the words of his messengers, Isa. 44:26. (2.) That to him that has, and uses what he has for the good of others, more shall be given, more full instructions.
2. He told him, particularly, that he would destroy the world by a flood of waters: And behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, Gen. 6:17. God could have destroyed all mankind by the sword of an angel, a flaming sword turning every way, as he destroyed all the first-born of the Egyptians and the camp of the Assyrians; and then there needed no more than to set a mark upon Noah and his family for their preservation. But God chose to do it by a flood of waters, which should drown the world. The reasons, we may be sure, were wise and just, though to us unknown. God has many arrows in his quiver, and he may use which he please: as he chooses the rod with which he will correct his children, so he chooses the sword with which he will cut off his enemies. Observe the manner of expression: "I, even I, do bring a flood; I that am infinite in power, and therefore can do it, infinite in justice, and therefore will do it." (1.) It intimates the certainty of the judgment: I, even I, will do it. That cannot but be done effectually which God himself undertakes the doing of. See Job 11:10. (2.) It intimates the tendency of it to God's glory and the honour of his justice. Thus he will be magnified and exalted in the earth, and all the world shall be made to know that he is the God to whom vengeance belongs; methinks the expression here is somewhat like that, Isa. 1:24; Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries.
II. God here makes Noah the man of his covenant, another Hebrew periphrasis of a friend (Gen. 6:18): But with thee will I establish my covenant. 1. The covenant of providence, that the course of nature shall be continued to the end of time, notwithstanding the interruption which the flood would give to it. This promise was immediately made to Noah and his sons, Gen. 9:8-11 They were as trustees for all this part of the creation, and a great honour was thereby put upon him and his. 2. The covenant of grace, that God would be to him a God and that out of his seed God would take to himself a people. Note, (1.) When God makes a covenant, he establishes it, he makes it sure, he makes it good; his are everlasting covenants. (2.) The covenant of grace has in it the recompence of singular services, and the fountain and foundation of all distinguishing favours; we need desire no more, either to make up our losses for God or to make up a happiness for us in God, than to have his covenant established with us.
III. God here makes Noah a monument of sparing mercy, by putting him in a way to secure himself in the approaching deluge, that he might not perish with the rest of the world: I will destroy them, says God, with the earth, Gen. 6:13. "But make thee an ark; I will take care to preserve thee alive." Note, Singular piety shall be recompensed with distinguishing salvations, which are in a special manner obliging. This will add much to the honour and happiness of glorified saints, that they shall be saved when the greatest part of the world is left to perish. Now,
1. God directs Noah to make an ark, Gen. 6:14-16. This ark was like the hulk of a ship, fitted not to sail upon the waters (there was no occasion for that, when there should be no shore to sail to), but to float upon the waters, waiting for their fall. God could have secured Noah by the ministration of angels, without putting him to any care, or pains, or trouble, himself; but he chose to employ him in making that which was to be the means of his preservation, both for the trial of his faith and obedience and to teach us that none shall be saved by Christ but those only that work out their salvation. We cannot do it without God, and he will not without us. Both the providence of God, and the grace of God, own and crown the endeavours of the obedient and diligent. God gave him very particular instructions concerning this building, which could not but be admirably well fitted for the purpose when Infinite Wisdom itself was the architect. (1.) It must be made of gopher-wood. Noah, doubtless, knew what sort of wood that was, though we now do not, whether cedar, or cypress, or what other. (2.) He must make it three stories high within. (3.) He must divide it into cabins, with partitions, places fitted for the several sorts of creatures, so as to lose no room. (4.) Exact dimensions were given him, that he might make it proportionable, and might have room enough in it to answer the intention and no more. Note, Those that work for God must take their measures from him and carefully observe them. Note, further, It is fit that he who appoints us our habitation should fix the bounds and limits of it. (5.) He must pitch it within and without—without, to shed off the rain, and to prevent the water from soaking in—within, to take away the bad smell of the beasts when kept close. Observe, God does not bid him paint it, but pitch it. If God gives us habitations that are safe, and warm, and wholesome, we are bound to be thankful, though they are not magnificent or nice. (6.) He must make a little window towards the top, to let in light, and (some think) that through that window he might behold the desolations to be made in the earth. (7.) He must make a door in the side of it, by which to go in and out.
2. God promises Noah that he and his shall be preserved alive in the ark (Gen. 6:18): Thou shalt come into the ark. Note, What we do in obedience to God, we ourselves are likely to have the comfort and benefit of. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself. Nor was he himself only saved in the ark, but his wife, and his sons, and his sons' wives. Observe, (1.) The care of good parents; they are solicitous not only for their own salvation, but for the salvation of their families, and especially their children. (2.) The happiness of those children that have godly parents. Their parents' piety often procures them temporal salvation, as here; and it furthers them in the way to eternal salvation, if they improve the benefit of it.
IV. God here makes Noah a great blessing to the world, and herein makes him an eminent type of the Messiah, though not the Messiah himself, as his parents expected, Gen. 5:29. 1. God made him a preacher to the men of that generation. As a watchman, he received the word from God's mouth, that he might give them warning, Ezek. 3:17. Thus, while the long-suffering of God waited, by his Spirit in Noah, he preached to the old world, who, when Peter wrote, were spirits in prison (1 Pet. 3:18-20), and herein he was a type of Christ, who, in a land and age wherein all flesh had corrupted their way, went about preaching repentance and warning men of a deluge of wrath coming. 2. God made him a saviour to the inferior creatures, to keep the several kinds of them from perishing and being lost in the deluge, Gen. 6:19-21. This was a great honour put upon him, that not only in him the race of mankind should be kept up, and that from him should proceed a new world, the church, the soul of the world, and Messiah, the head of that church, but that he should be instrumental to preserve the inferior creatures, and so mankind should in him acquire a new title to them and their service. (1.) He was to provide shelter for them, that they might not be drowned. Two of every sort, male and female, he must take with him into the ark; and lest he should make any difficulty of gathering them together, and getting them in, God promises (Gen. 6:20) that they shall of their own accord come to him. He that makes the ox to know his owner and his crib then made him know his preserver and his ark. (2.) He was to provide sustenance for them, that they might not be starved, Gen. 6:21. He must victual his ship according to the number of his crew, that great family which he had now the charge of, and according to the time appointed for his confinement. Herein also he was a type of Christ, to whom it is owing that the world stands, by whom all things consist, and who preserves mankind from being totally cut off and ruined by sin; in him the holy seed is saved alive, and the creation rescued from the vanity under which it groans. Noah saved those whom he was to rule, so does Christ, Heb. 5:9.

Audio recording of the interview with Mr. Jesson Witham
Jesson Witham
(Interview taped 10/13/1970)
I came to Teaneck from Brooklyn 1908. Appointed constable with Bill Jahnes in 1934. Jahnes was related to the Phillips family. Worked from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., never had a day off. There was very little if any crime. Watched hoboes. They slept in the woods all over. Had their regular hangouts. They didn't bother much. I talked to some of them. They had been all over--India, China and all. That was their way of life. Hoboes didn't want to be near any one who violated the law. Sometimes a fellow the cope were looking for would hang around them, but they'd get him out.
At police headquarters in old town hall we had two cells made of iron slats. For years we let the hoboes sleep there. They'd lay on newspapers on concrete floor and cover with a newspaper. We couldn't let them freeze in the woods. During the depression I remember when they were building houses, the hoboes would sleep on shelves. I'd go in with my flashlight and they'd call to me, I couldn't see them. They'd say "Hey, you're looking right at me."
Yes, they voted us down on an election because they thought $5,000 was too much for a police dept. But we had a referendum and they put us back on. We got $60 a month for 12-hr. a day 7 days a week. We worked mainly during the time the men were away at work. When they came home at night the men could look after things. Sometimes the hoboes gave the ladies trouble. She'd offer them pie and they'd insist on something else. I remember when some fellows came through with a load of potatoes, a fine team. Jimmy came running like the devil and told me the potato peddler stole his gold watch. I went after them on my motor cycle, got them off the truck. I went through bag after bag looking for the watch. There it was in an empty bag at the bottom. Jimmy and old Capt Phelps didn't want to prosecute them. Three years later they picked up that same bunch of potato peddlers in Jersey City.
There were quite a few telephones here then. We had one phone at police headquarters, not a fancy switchboard like they have now.
Glenwood Park was quiet. Once a couple of kids robbed Reiner's stores, stole apples, crackers, etc. Mayor Bodine said a talking to was enough, Reiner said it was all right with him, but they had broke things in the store.
My two brothers went to the school on Ft. Lee Rd. Davison used to run a stage coach along Park Ave. to Ridgefield Park then back and up Fycke Lane to Teaneck Rd.
I remember Bessie Parker lived on North side of Parker Lane. A fellow lived on the east side of Teaneck Rd. wrote the song for her. It was a popular rag time tune. The fellow who wrote it used to walk in Parker Lane which was nothing but pine tress, like a lover's land, nice place.
I found lots of Indian relics in Glenwood Park. Arrowheads whenever they dug for a foundation. Bob Phillips met me one day and took me over to Lippman's and said look at this. It was a blue clay slab--looked like a grave. People used to bury their dead on their own property. Lewises were buried all around there. On Cadmus place on River Road there were graves.
I could have been a state trooper. Cadmus talked to me, but I said I'm a home town boy and turned it down. They dropped me from Capt. to Lt. over a drunken driver. I sassed the doctor.
When they added 2 new men to the force Bill Jahnes quit. I stuck it out and got along fine. The cop on the job is always in trouble. Gets roasted.
We didn't walk until the force had 4-5 men. One man would go over the area around Robinson St. Then West Englewood and the Bogota section. It was cold on winter nights. Sometimes I'd meet Capt. Phelps coming home and would have a cup of hot coffee. Once in a while we'd pick up a stranger or someone who missed the trolley. When we didn't have enough motor cycles, we'd ride bicycles. Later they got more motorcycles and side cars.
The day they dedicated Holy Name Hospital there must have been 100 or 200 protests. People parked in the flower beds. They told cops to get them out. It was nip and tuck. No one was boss. Must have been 200 or 300 cars there.
There was plenty of trapping in the meadows--mink, muskrat, some pheasants. Not a weed. The meadow hay was fine. Used to cut it in winter as soon as ice was strong enough for a team to go in. There was a crystal clear spring, it was fines but dangerous for the horses. The spring had no bottom. I remember them lassoing horse to get them out. They out hay all summer. Big stacks were sold. I got a load from old when I built my house, not a crack in the foundation. I built our house. Took me a year and a half. After War I I went to moonlighting. Building houses. When I had enough money I got 4 lots. Now I have eight. Things are going to change with the new development.
I walk a lot now--over to the Palisades and around. But I've got a corn. never had one when I was on the force. I'll be 80 my next birthday.

Finally, I Am Going to Get Rid of This Baby Damage! Tummy Tuck, Here We Go... -Milwaukee, WI
I have always wanted to get this baby damage fixed--the stretch marks, the sagging, the basic flab. It's pretty depressing. After my first was born, I felt monstrous. I really didn't expect to feel that way--and honestly no one warned me just how much my body would change. I expected that my hips would "spread" even larger, and that my breasts would be droopier.

Negotiators have been seeking concessions on compromise legislation to help America's stressed employer-based pension system. Last week a verbal agreement on parts of the bill was reached. One hanging issue is a proposal backed in the Senate bill giving special relief to financially strapped airlines. GOP leaders are pressing negotiators for a cut in estate taxes as well, according to the Associated Press.

Key content areas include guidance from the FASB, EITF, PCAOB, SEC, and others as well as PwC's interpretive guidance. Get more information and sign up for a complimentary 30-day trial.
Sen. Michael Enzi (R-Wyo.) said, âI think everything's resolved, pending getting the exact wording.â Enzi is the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. The Associated Press reported that the president would receive the bill before the August break.
Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.) said, âWe're very, very close and we should be able to wrap this up this week.â McKeon is pressing for relief to defense contractors by delaying the effective date for companies that generate more than half of their business in defense contracts, according to Reuters.
General Dynamics, along with Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman have roughly doubled the value of their stock since March 2003 when the U.S. first invaded Iraq, according to Reuters. General Dynamics reported an 84 percent increase in combat and aerospace sales for their second quarter, with a quarterly profit of $636 million.
Stiffer penalties for companies falling behind in funding their pension plans may well be part of the final legislation, according to the Associated Press. At the same time, relief has been sought for single-employer pension plans without driving the companies to bankruptcy and their pension burdens being taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC). Single-employer pension plans are estimated to be underfunded by some $450 billion. The PBGC is the federal corporation that insures corporate pension plans.
Airlines are seeking relief in this legislation. Their plans are underfunded by some $22.8 billion and on the edge of defaulting and unloading their plans onto the PBGC as well, according to the Associated Press. Additional time is sought in order that they can put their plans back in the green. Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp. urged Congress last week to pass this legislation.
Douglas Steenland, president and CEO of Northwest Airlines, said, âA further delay is a functional equivalent of no.â The intricate nature of the issues has slowed negotiations between the Senate and the House to a crawl. The Associated Press reports that the negotiations have been stalled for four months.
Determining a methodology to indicate the point at which a plan is underfunded is another issue being considered in this legislation. The occurrence of such a determination would start a process where the company's pension plan contributions would increase until the plan was fully funded, according to the Associated Press.
A permanent interest rate for plans would be established in the final bill. A company's liabilities could be more accurately determined with this feature, according to the Associated Press. Those companies with at-risk pension plans would be restricted from making deferred compensation payouts to executives, as well. Use of credit balances accrued in past years, potentially fallen in value with stock market cycles, would also be restricted.
Temporary reinstatement of some tax breaks, such as corporate research and development credit and deduction for state and local taxes, are part of this legislation. The Associated Press reports that the president's temporary tax incentives for retirement savings may well be part of the final bill.
Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) wants a reduction in the estate tax exempting the first $5 million for individuals and $10 for couples' estates. Estates of $40 million would not be allowed to take this exemption, while estates of $25 million would start to drop the exemption, according to the Associated Press. Estates would be taxed at capital gains rates on the low side and 35 percent on the high side.

Just months after leaving Tampa International amid controversy, former executive director Louis Miller has landed a new job.
A big one.
Starting later this month, he'll run the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International.
"I am confident that the airport's safety, security and amenities will improve dramatically,'' Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said about hiring Miller. "I look forward to working with him to grow the airport's international cargo operations and to complete construction of the international terminal."
Miller replaces longtime director Ben DeCosta, who retired in June after Reed did not offer him a new contract.
Reed cited Miller's two decades of experience running major airports, first in Salt Lake City, then nearly 14 years in Tampa. His long experience in both cities with Delta Air Lines, long a power player in Atlanta, was also a big plus.
The world's largest carrier since merging with Northwest Airlines in 2008, Delta operates a huge connecting hub at the Atlanta airport and controls nearly three-quarters of passenger traffic. Its headquarters sits just outside the perimeter fence.
Miller, 62, expects to start Sept. 27 and will earn $221,000 a year — $32,294 less than his salary in Tampa.
"It's not about the money,'' he said. "It's an opportunity to come into the largest airport in the world and add to my career. What a great way to finish it off."
Miller abruptly submitted his resignation in February after conflicts with members of TIA's board of directors. The friction started when new member Steve Burton pushed through a new panel — chaired by himself — to direct airport marketing efforts toward attracting new airline routes.
Other critical news stories followed: Miller planned to tear down an abandoned reservations center without informing most board members; a staff committee reviewed contract proposals in violation of the state open meetings law; height variances for structures in flight approaches to the airport were issued improperly for years.
The controversies arose after years of positive reviews for TIA. Under Miller, TIA consistently won awards from fliers, including third place this year for customer satisfaction among mid-size airports from J.D.Power and Associates.
The aviation authority also ranked in the top 60 places to work and the top 10 in the large employer category, according to a survey earlier this year commissioned by the St. Petersburg Times of almost 17,000 employees from businesses and organizations throughout the Tampa Bay area.
Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio, a fan of Miller, said Monday that the fireworks resulted from bad chemistry between the veteran director and new board members. "Sometimes things that didn't used to be an issue become an issue,'' she said.
Miller's wife, Cyndy Miller, works for Iorio as growth management and development services director. She said she plans to leave her $146,000 job overseeing zoning, historic preservation, code enforcement and other departments for Atlanta after city elections in March.
Miller's new job helps wipe the slate clean for everyone, Burton said. "It's a great opportunity in Atlanta for him,'' Burton said. "And we in Tampa have a great opportunity to take a new direction without him.''
Atlanta officials are eager to move ahead with a new international terminal and plans for long-term future growth that will change how the airport operates by creating new entry and exit points for the concourses.
Meanwhile, Tampa International's board members will interview four finalists to permanently replace Miller on Wednesday and Thursday in one-on-one, closed-door sessions. One candidate, former Detroit Metropolitan Airport chief executive director Lester Robinson, 58, lost out to Miller for the Atlanta job.
The other three TIA candidates are:
•?Kent George, 63, director of aviation for Broward County, which operates the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
•?Kevin Dillon, 54, chief executive of T.F. Green Airport in Providence, R.I.
•?Joseph Lopano, 55, executive vice president of marketing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The entire board is scheduled to pick one for TIA's top job at its Oct. 7 meeting.
TIA's interim director John Wheat didn't make the cut when a consultant narrowed the field to four. Documents released Monday in response to a public records request by the St. Petersburg Times included an investigation into Wheat in 2006 for personal relations with another employee of the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority.
The agency's human resources director concluded the relationship violated the agency's fraternization and nepotism polices, even if at the time it was just a close friendship and not sexual.
Theresa Rocco agreed to resign her job in the authority's development and planning department. Rocco and Wheat, at the time Miller's deputy, now are married, said airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan.
Wheat could not be reached for comment.

video dirver for quake3 (demo)
I am attempting to run quake3 arena demo on my laptop (Pentium 1.7M radeon 7500 graphics)
I have recently got 3d graphics working so I thought I'ld try the q3demo as a good test.
when I launch the demo I get the error:
...loading libGL.so: QGL_Init: Can't load libGL.so from /etc/ld.so.conf or current dir: libglide2x.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...loading libMesaVoodooGL.so: QGL_Init: Can't load libMesaVoodooGL.so from /etc/ld.so.conf or current dir: libglide2x.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am a little confused as to how to configure the program to work. tried the readme but seems too old, the links are invalid anyway.
could anyone give me a pointer or 2?
sorry if this or similar has been posted, but I couldn't find an answer..
same problem
I have exactly the same problem on my Dell Inspiron 4150 (P4 1,8; radeon M 7500) with quake3.
I read different things on the net but nothing helpful. I think we have to install or update drivers or package linked with openGL but I don't know how and which one...
Here is my XF86config-4 :
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
Load "dri" # direct rendering
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
If somebody can help us!
It's trying to use glide, which is what Voodoo cards use. It's completely seporate to opengl (glx).
Somehow you need to get quake3 to run using glx.
Test glx is running by using "glxgears"
check how libraries are set with "ldd glxgears"
if glxgears doesn't run it's time to read a "get radeon opengl working with X" type of guide
make sure you have your graphics drivers, like nvidia or something, being used for your X, and not VESA or something. Check your "Device" section in the XF86config.
Re: video dirver for quake3 (demo)
I have recently got 3d graphics working so I thought I'ld try the q3demo as a good test.
Do you have a link to a web page you can mail me? I'm running a p4 with a radeon on a presario 2500 laptop. I've seen lots of pages and howtos for the amd compaqs/dells, but nothing for the p4 version. (There is a difference).
"p4 version. (There is a difference)"
<- pretty sure that isn't a processor specific version of quake3
I'm not on my box right now, but I think you have to specified a gl driver with something like this:
#q3demo +set r_gldriver /path/to/your/preferred/libGL.so
BTW: I have it run pretty well on my gf4 but somehow I have an annoying fps drop every 2 or 3 seconds, feels like playing online on a 56k :( lol I get around 90-100 fps, but it drops to maybe 10 fps every 2-3 sec. Any ideas?
do you think you could list the contents of your /etc/ld.so.conf file?
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 380M
agpgart: unsupported bridge
agpgart: no supported devices found.
Oh, and I'm using slackware 9.1
I realize that this is off topic, but I just needed to gripe. I've had a bad computer day. :(
When starting linux add:
to your kernel parameters.
If using lilo add "agp=try_unsupported" to your "append=" section. Then rerun lilo to update. Mine wasn't working and this got it there.

Inspectors find invasive mussels on Oregon boats
MEDFORD, Ore. Just days into Oregon's first season of mandatory boat inspections, Department of Fish and Wildlife officials have already discovered two watercraft carrying invasive mussels.
Last year, when the program was voluntary, inspectors found six boats all season with quagga or zebra mussels.
The mussels have already invaded the Great Lakes and other American waterways, causing millions of dollars in damage by clogging water systems and jamming navigational locks. State officials fear they'll take hold in Oregon rivers and lakes.
Inspectors in southern Oregon found a boat infected with quagga mussels picked up from Lake Havasu in Arizona. Crews in La Grande discovered zebra mussels on a boat from Saginaw Bay, Mich.
The Medford Mail Tribune reports that the Oregon Legislature voted last year to make invasive species inspections mandatory for all vessels.

Concerns grow over survivors of flooding
As the death toll from flash floods produced by Tropical Storm Washi rose Monday to 927, officials in the southern Philippines turned their attention to survivors and the threat of disease in crowded evacuation centers. Gwendolyn Pang, secretary-general of the Philippine Red Cross, said, "Water has not been restored to many areas, and people are not well sheltered." About 45,000 people were packed into centers after floods ripped through the southern Philippines on Friday night.
U.S. faults Chávez over ties to Iran
President Barack Obama's sharp criticisms of Venezuela's human rights record and its ties to Iran are heightening tensions with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who on Monday responded by calling Obama a "clown" and telling him to mind his own business. Obama appeared to stiffen his stance toward Chávez in his remarks, which were published Monday by the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal. Some of Obama's Republican opponents have also been strongly critical of Chávez, and analysts expect the Venezuelan president could become a popular target of criticism as American politicians feud over foreign policy ahead of next year's U.S. presidential election.
Father denies son is a spy for U.S.
An Iranian-American from Michigan who appeared on Iran's state TV is not a CIA spy as authorities in that country claim and was visiting relatives when he was detained, his father said Monday. Iran's TV broadcast video Sunday of Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, 28, and said he was a CIA spy who sought to infiltrate Iran's secret services. Ali Hekmati said his son never worked for the CIA.
Los Angeles
Teen gets 21 years in gay slaying
A teen who fatally shot a gay classmate in the back of the head at an Oxnard, Calif., middle school in 2008 was sentenced Monday to 21 years in prison. A Los Angeles County judge issued the sentence a month after Brandon McInerney, 17, agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter in the slaying of Larry King, 15. Prosecutors alleged that it was a hate crime driven by homophobic rage because King wore girl's clothing and flirted with McInerney.
Russia: Time appeared to be running out to rescue 39 people still missing more than a day after an oil rig capsized and sank in stormy, freezing waters off the eastern coast of Russia. Of the 67 men aboard, 14 were rescued. Workers have spotted 14 bodies.
Pakistan: The Supreme Court on Monday put off a decision on whether to investigate a controversial memo in which a Pakistani diplomat purportedly sought U.S. help to constrain the Pakistani military.

Turkey brings rail jams
Select venues plan popular contests
Rail jams - those jib sessions where skiers and snowboarders slide across lines of steel and other features - have become something of a Thanksgiving-time tradition at a handful of New England ski areas.
The contests tend to attract younger, passionate competitors while allowing ski areas the chance to hold an event with blowing a relatively small amount of snow, as compared to blanketing a trail or creating a huge quarter pipe or table top.
"You need a rail, a launch, and a landing,'' said Stratton's Myra Foster. "The rail is center stage. You don't need to blow the same amount of snow as you do for the giant features we have during midseason events.''
The field is capped at 50 for Stratton's Saturday expert-only Village Rail Jam, a big spectator event held in the resort's village in southern Vermont for the past six years. Entry fee is $20 for the 2 p.m. jam.
Foster said the jam has attracted many snowboarders that call Stratton home, like stand-outs Luke and Jack Mitrani. Though not competing, she said it's possible Lindsey and brother Ben Jacobellis may be in the cheering section.
Loon Mountain, which opened Sunday, attracted about 100 snowboarders and skiers to last fall's early-season rail jam.
"We get kids that are into the park scene, kids with parents that have houses up here, and Plymouth State kids,'' said events coordinator Jordan Yanni. "They probably range in age from about 14 to 28.''
The Lincoln, N.H., resort is slated to host its Cease and Desist jams Saturday on the Governor's Lodge side of the mountain, with skiers competing at 1:30 p.m. and snowboarders at 5:30 p.m. Entry fee is $15. Cash prizes include $200 for top male skier and rider, and $100 for the top female in those categories.
Yanni says it takes about two nights of snowmaking to create enough snow for the event and a night for the park crew to install the features.
"In the beginning of the year, we get the diehard park guys,'' said Yanni. "They want to hit unique stuff.''
Tonight's Granite Gorge "Thanksgiving Night Under the Lights'' was postponed until further notice because of unfavorable weather, according to terrain park manager and event coordinator Dave Morin.
"We just don't want to blow a little patch of snow and call it good,'' said Morin. "I want to be able to get in a couple of nights of good snowmaking and have our new bag jump set up. Snow permitting, we'd love to do it.''
Morin said the Keene, N.H., resort usually does a preseason terrain park event before opening the mountain to get the kids back on their feet.
"We do a lot of freestyle skiing and snowboarding here,'' he said. "We're building a whole new line of features and want to debut some of that stuff and have some fun.''
Though November rail jams may seem early to traditional skiers and snowboarders, they're not the first. Some 800 people took advantage of last month's freak snow storm and descended upon Mount Snow in West Dover, Vt., for their October 29-30 rail fest. It raised $6,600 to help North Star Bowl, a Wilmington, Vt., bowling alley, rebuild from damage sustained during Hurricane Irene.
Mount Snow still isn't open for the season.
"Not only does it create a buzz in the marketplace, but more importantly it makes our guests super happy to be able to get on snow in October and get a taste of winter before it really begins,'' e-mailed communications manager David Meeker.
Cannon, in print
Meghan McCarthy McPhaul's book, "A History of Cannon Mountain: Trails, Tales and Skiing Legends'' (History Press, $19.99, www.meghanmcphaul.com) takes skiers and snowboarders on a journey through time on the rugged Franconia Notch, N.H., state-owned ski area.
Cannon is in McPhaul's blood; her parents first met on the Middle Hardscrabble Trail and she learned to ski there at age 3, later racing for the storied Franconia Ski Club through her mid-teens and at Ithaca College for two years. She and her husband had their first date there, got engaged at the top of Taft Slalom, and now their three children are third-generation Cannon skiers.
The mountain's history was shaped by and helped mold many characters. The Taft Trail, finished in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, was named after local innkeeper Richard Taft. Under the guidance of Roland Peabody, the area materialized from a one lift hill with a handful of trails during the Great Depression to a Granite State player in the post-War World II era. Sel Hannah designed its early trails while Paul and Paula Valar were instrumental in developing Cannon and neighboring Mittersill ski schools. A kid named Bode Miller went from Cannon grommet to Olympic gold.
"The more I looked into it, the more I realized how important Cannon was to early American skiing,'' said McPhaul.
The aerial tram, early ski patrol, and World Cup are also parts of Cannon's past.
"I think the 1967 World Cup was the coolest,'' said McPhaul. "Jean-Claude Killy raced there. People talked about it for decades. My dad (Red) was a gatekeeper for the women's slalom. It was a week of big ski racing and big parties.''
The courses contained sections of Vista Way, Middle Cannon Bypass, Avalanche Extension, Avalanche, and Paulie's Folly.

The ASA Committee on Trauma and Emergency Preparedness has collaborated to identify a number of useful references for anesthesiologists. In addition, it has created other useful products for anesthesiologists responsible for emergency preparedness from both a professional and personal perspective. Please contact the committee chair with any suggestions for additional products that could be useful in the areas of trauma management and emergency preparedness.
(American Medical Association)
While there are currently no reported anesthetic implications for Zika virus cases, physicians should be prepared to answer patients'' questions regarding this serious global health threat. The AMA has created the Zika Virus Resource Center to regularly update the public, physicians and other health care workers.
Mission Statement
The ASA Committee on Trauma and Emergency Preparedness exists to improve the care of patients with traumatic injury and to educate anesthesiologists in disaster management.
After 9/11, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) established its Committee on Trauma and Emergency Preparedness (COTEP). Though the terrorist attacks of 2001 have not been repeated, heretofore simple everyday names such as Katrina, Ike, and Sandy now invoke images of devastation. From the tornadoes that struck the southeastern United States and Joplin, MO, in 2011 to the earthquakes that wreaked havoc in Haiti and Japan, numerous natural disasters have underscored the foresight that the ASA showed in preparing its members to respond during emergencies. Thanks to the anesthesiologists who have shared their individual experiences during these disasters with COTEP, we have collectively gained great insight into preparing for future events and the roles of anesthesiologists in mass-casualty situations.
While not every anesthesiologist will be directly involved in patient care during a mass disaster, most anesthesiologists will care for trauma patients in their emergency department, operating room, ICU and pain clinic – whether you work in a trauma center or not – at some time during the patient's acute resuscitation or chronic follow-up. Trauma is the leading cause of death for individuals up to the age of 45 years and the third leading cause of death in the United States. Anesthesiologists who manage trauma must be prepared to emergently care for a patient with any form and severity of injury, have an unknown or sub-optimally managed pre-existing condition, and may require any kind of operation regardless of the time of day, even when resources are not readily available. Anesthesiologists must have a broad, evidence-based knowledge of their specialty as well as trauma surgery in order to understand the nuances of traumatic injury management, the unique pathophysiological processes observed in trauma, and the pharmacological modifications that may be necessary to provide anesthesia quickly, efficiently, and effectively. Anesthesiologists offer a unique expertise and skill set that is significantly different from those offered by other medical specialties that care for trauma patients.
COTEP is committed to providing a user-friendly website that will help you, your family, and your practice prepare for any trauma or emergency. In addition, this site provides accurate and timely information, practice guidelines and useful links for managing casualties from trauma, natural disasters, fires, industrial injuries, and weapons of mass destruction. In ANY emergency, if you can access the Internet, we will be here to help.

The Short Film (To die for) is another one from Stephen Oshilaja Media Productions. It was made as an entry into the 48 hour Naija Film Challenge.
Shot on Location in Lagos, Nigeria. its a film about a fun loving girl who meets a guy who helps her decide what is worth dying or fighting for.
Starring: Christabel Egbujor as Alice , Greg Igbayo as Mike
the film was shot on a Canon 600D and lensed mostly with Canon 50mm f1.8. The film was shot on a very low budget and also making use of whatever we could get free or owned.
To die for was shot and edited under 12 hours as we witnessed a lot of setbacks during the production which we did not allow to keep us from the goal set and deadline, and it made it to submission and top thirteen in the competition but did not earn any nomination for awards.
Julius Ephraim a talented young D.O.P shot the film and it was Written, Produced and Directed by Oshilaja Stephen.
Happy viewing.

Guest blogger: Caryn Sowell, Sleep Consultant
Hi guys!
My name is Caryn and I am a Sleep Consultant in our Kittery, Maine location. I love where I live and love our Kittery location. Being so close to the ocean and a little over an hour's drive from the great Presidential Range of the White Mountains in New Hampshire is a blessing.
A little about me: I spent my childhood years in Boston, MA. My parents met in a Swing Band in the 40's and passed their love of music on to all of their children. We all play instruments and my favorite memories was our little family band "cutting a rug!" My dad was also an engineer and my mom sang jingles on the radio for various local businesses. During this time unfortunately, we experienced cancer in our family. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and our idyllic world changed. We lived in the Mecca of the best medical care in the country and still it gave my father pause. In the location where we lived there were so many chemical emissions from all the manufacturing plants that the numbers of cancers in just a three-block radius of home was not acceptable to my dad. Long story short, my dad got us out of Boston and moved us all to 25 acres of un-developed land in Maine. It was his dream to start a campground. That was the byproduct of out move. It was his hypothesis that if we lived a "clean" life we could arrest any disease…especially that of the love of his life, my mother.
So, we grew our own veggies – a victory garden, so to speak. We bought organically fed cows, pigs and chickens through a co-op. We had daily meditations on gratitude. I know it sounds hokey, but it worked! My mom lived to the ripe old age of 93 and eventually passed away of kidney failure, not cancer!
My dream was to translate all of this into a restaurant format, and I did. I owned a restaurant that only served eggs from free-range chickens, bacon, beef and pork from animals I bought through a co-op and bread I baked myself (thank you Gramma)! The concept wasn't yet popular but was right! It was an immediate success. Whole foods not only are good for you, but they taste better!
Unfortunately the restaurant business is not conducive to family life so, after a length of time, I sold my business.
I got into the advertising world through one of my customers, but there was always something missing. You know that little voice that says "you are off of your path?" We all tend to ignore it, but that can be a pivotal moment If/when we choose to listen to it. Right at that moment I found The Clean Bedroom. It is a place where I could realize my passion for clean living and help people get an un-interrupted healthy night's sleep.
People always ask me, "How I can change and start living healthier?" I say, "Start at the top." If your budget doesn't allow a bed, start with a pillow and work up from there. But I urge you to ask this question of yourself…"What is a restful, chemical- free bed" worth to me and my children. Only you have the answer!

Sources report that tech giant Apple Computer has placed orders for a new larger sized screen with its Asian suppliers of iPhone displays. The displays are reported to be 'considerably' larger than the 3.5″ screens that are being used on current Apple iPhone models. The screen is said to be at least 4-inches wide, corner-to-corner and will be the focal point of the newest generation of iPhone coming in October. This looks to be a direct response to arch-enemy Samsung whose smartphones have screens of us to 4.8-inches.
The new iPhone screens will measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one source said. That would represent a roughly 30 percent increase in viewing area, assuming Apple keeps other dimensions proportional. Apple has used a 3.5-inch screen since introducing the iPhone in 2007. It is likely all three of the screen suppliers will get production orders from Apple, which could begin as soon as June. That would allow the new iPhone to go into production as soon as August, if the company follows its own precedent in moving from orders for prototypes for key components to launch.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi thereCustomer I'm sorry to hear about your 4 year old Beagle who has been throwing up over the last few hours. It definitely sounds as though she is not feeling very well and the fact she has been vomiting indicates she probably also has some abdominal discomfort as well. There are quite a number of things that could be going on here from an acute gastroenteritis (from getting into the trash, something or she shouldn't have - or even from raw meat - particularly if it was chicken), a toxicity or something like an obstruction (partial or complete within her bowel) . If this has been going on for a few hours and your dog has not had much to eat or drink, then I would definitely encourage you to get your dog examined at your local Vet or emergency vet. It is much better being safe than sorry in these situations as there could be a myriad of things going on here and only a full Veterinary physical examination can help pinpoint the cause of the problem in order to instigate a treatment and of course set your mind at ease and give your girl some comfort from todays events!
Whatever the case you will definitely need to visit your Vet in the morning - unless she seems absolutely symptomless. Please keep a close eye on your dog's mucus membranes, capillary refill time and respiratory rate tonight as follows:
Mucus membranes - flip her lip and look at the color of the gums. They should maintain a nice salmon pink color. Get your dog to the emergency Vet if they appeal white or very pale pink, or if they are a dark deep red color.
Capillary Refill time - this measures blood perfusion and test this by putting your thumb on her gum to apply pressure. After you release your thumb you will see the gum blanch. Capillary refill time is the amount of time it takes (in seconds) for the gum to return to a healthy pink color from the blanced white color. If 2 seconds or less don't worry - if it is taking significantly more time, again - off to the emergency Vet.
Respiratory Rate - if she is continuously panting throughout the night this is a sign of shock and or pain and a signal for a trip to the emergency Vet.
Please get in touch with your Vet or emergency Vet if these symptoms are ongoing or if you are overly concerned about your dog's current state of health. Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on. I hope this has been of help to you and do try and get some sleep tonight. If you can't sleep because you are worried - this is enough for me to tell you to visit your emergency vet now.
Thank you and please now click ACCEPT.
Kind Regards,
Dr O Jovovich

Voidrunner fully supports Virtual Reality devices and soon to be announced Augmented Reality enhancements.
Voidrunner is currently in Alpha and planned for release in the second quarter of 2016 for PC, MAC & Linux. It will also be released for PS4 and Xbox One in late 2016.
Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1339028258/voidrunner
RealityArts is an independent studio in Istanbul, Turkey and London, England. It was founded to create immersive experiences in the entertainment industry.

82 receptions, 1,332 yards receiving, nine touchdowns; that's what the Philadelphia Eagles must replace in the NFL's No. 2 offense after the release of DeSean Jackson. Where's it supposed to come from? Not necessarily from any one player. In this four part series, we examine whose roles will increase as a result of the move. [ Part 1: Jeremy Maclin ]
As some readers may recall, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Eagles' trade for Darren Sproles. Why send a draft pick for a 31-year-old running back coming off of what was in many respects his least productive season in years? When there were younger Sproles clones in the draft, even one or two available to sign as free agents?
I must say though, I have a greater appreciation for the move to add Sproles now that DeSean Jackson has been released. There is little doubt the organization's intention to part ways with their three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver played a huge role in the decision to send a fifth-round pick to New Orleans.
At this point, you may be wondering to yourself, "How does a running back replace one of the most explosive deep threats in the NFL?"
Simple: Sproles is a running back in name only.
Yes, he may line up in the backfield on most plays. He's even capable of taking a handoff or two. Yet the Eagles didn't acquire Sproles for his ability as a ball-carrier—they have LeSean McCoy to do that.
Sproles is primarily a pass-catcher, dare we say a receiver even. He's posted more receptions than he had rushing attempts the past two seasons and in three of the last four, and that's just measuring actual touches. Clearly, Sproles is being used on more passing routes than he is in any type of traditional running-back capacity.
In fact, Sproles will actually line up as a slot receiver from time to time, where he often draws mismatches against linebackers in man-to-man coverage because the defense still has to respect the possibility of a run when he's out there. That's a tremendous quality to have in a weapon, especially for an offense that bases its play-call in part on the defensive personnel on the field.
Okay, but that still doesn't make up for the loss of Jackson's speed and big plays down the field.
What you need to understand is the Eagles aren't going to easily replicate every aspect of Jackson's game down to the last detail, and they don't necessarily have to, either. If the goal is only to replace a player's physical output—numbers—Sproles can be of service.
Jackson came up with a career-high 82 receptions last season, but over a six-year NFL career, he's averaged 4.1 catches per game. That works out to 65 receptions per 16-game season.
Over three seasons with the New Orleans Saints, where Sproles really came into his own, the nine-year veteran averaged 5.3 catches per game. That's 85 receptions over 16.
Obviously, the difference in what happens after those catches are made is enormous. Jackson's 17.2 yards per catch ranks fifth among all active players, and is nearly twice Sproles' career average of 8.9.
That doesn't render Sproles' receptions meaningless though. If nothing else, it's one more outlet for Nick Foles in Jackson's stead, a reliable safety blanket for a young quarterback who just lost his No. 1 target.
Even if Sproles is only replacing Jackson's volume instead of his production, those plays can still help move the chains and keep drives alive. The offense may even become more efficient to a degree as a result of the increased emphasis on short and intermediate routes.
65 percent of Jackson's targets resulted in a completion in '13 compared to 80 percent of Sproles'.
And Sproles' role in the offense may not be quite as dissimilar to Jackson's as we've been trained to think. Yes, DeSean was primarily used to stretch defenses on the perimeters or from the slot. However, we also saw a fair amount of Jackson being deployed from the backfield in Chip Kelly's offense last season.
Jackson acquitted himself in the role nicely, but with all due respect, that's how Sproles makes his living.
No, Sproles isn't going to strike fear into the hearts of safeties or rank among the leaders in receptions of 40-plus yards. An Eagles offense as a whole that led the NFL last season with 80 passing plays of 20-plus—12 more than the second-place Denver Broncos—naturally will not possess quite the same quick-strike ability.
Rather than an offense that constantly swings for the fences, the Eagles might be forced to attack defenses with a death-by-1,000-cuts mentality from here on out. With Sproles now in their employ, they appear to be built to do just that.

WASHINGTON — New software designed to make airport security scanners less intrusive debuted Tuesday at the Las Vegas airport, a response to last year's uproar from passengers who thought the blurry but revealing images were an invasion of privacy.
The machines now produce a gray, cookie-cutter outline of the human form. The silhouette appears on a screen about the size of a laptop computer that is attached to the scanning booth.
If a passenger is cleared by the scan, the screen flashes a green "OK." Suspicious items appear as little red boxes, showing their location on generic front and back silhouettes on the screen.
Passengers who trigger an alert, and anyone who refuses to go through the scanners, will receive the rigorous frisking that has drawn sharp objections.
The new software is expected to debut soon at Reagan National Airport in Washington and in Atlanta. If it does as well in the field as it has in testing, it could be installed in the 486 scanners now in use at 78 major airports, the Transportation Security Administration said.
"We believe it addresses the privacy issues that have been raised," TSA chief John Pistole said at a news conference at Reagan National Airport.
Robin Kane, head of the TSA's technology office, said once the less-invasive scanners are proven effective, then controversial monitors on which a TSA officer sees scans in a private room will be removed from all airports.

|A Philippine woman says she abandoned her newborn because she was ashamed, according to a lawmaker. (Associated Press)
MANILA — A Philippine woman who acknowledged giving birth to a baby on a flight from the Middle East and then leaving him in the trash on the plane said she was raped by her employer, a lawmaker said yesterday.
The baby was found by a security guard at Manila's airport Sunday in a trash bag unloaded from a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain. The trash apparently came from the plane's bathroom.
Representative Lani Mercado said she met yesterday with the woman, who told her that she had been raped by her employer while working as a maid in Qatar and became pregnant. She said her employer's wife then forced her to return home.
"She had labor pains in the plane,'' Mercado said. "Then she gave birth.''
Mercado said the woman told her she abandoned the baby because she was afraid of what her family would say.
The six-pound, nine-ounce baby — still attached to the placenta — was found in tissue paper. Officials said the baby, already bluish, may have died in a few minutes had he not been found. The baby, temporarily named George Francis after Gulf Air's flight code GF, is now fine.
The mother could face criminal charges.

CAMPAIGNERS who battled proposals for 141 homes in Little Bowden have renewed their fight following the submission of detailed plans for the site.
The Windy Ridge Action Group wants to stop Redrow Homes building the development at the site off Glebe Road.
It has submitted its objections in a detailed letter to Harborough District Council.
A Government planning inspector granted outline planning permission for the homes at the so-called 'Windy Ridge' site in February last year following a public inquiry.
The plans had sparked opposition from residents amid fears of toxic contamination at an old clay pit on the site and concerns over road access and development on open fields.
Harborough District Council threw out the application but it was given the go-ahead following the public inquiry.
In his final report, Government planning inspector Andrew Jeyes rejected concerns that the site contained toxic substances, adding the need for new housing outweighed any impact the development would have on the rural appearance of the area.
But in their letter to the council, action group members say the old pit - once a dumping area for trade waste including lead and arsenic - has not been investigated fully.
They say checks were made only to a depth of eight metres, when the pit was originally 60 feet deep.
Members of the group refused to comment further on their objections this week.
But their letter states: "The inspector recommended that any buildings to be erected in the pit area should have piled foundations sunk [to a depth of more than] 60 feet.
"The group is therefore extremely concerned about the possibility of toxic chemicals being disturbed and released into groundwater in the pit, especially as gardens in the vicinity flood with this water after rain."
They also criticise the design of the homes, which they say will overlook existing properties, and the proposed used of yellow brick only for the affordable homes, which they consider discriminatory.
Traffic concerns and access to the new homes along Glebe Road are also listed as concerns.
Glebe Road resident Helen Connell told the Mail this week she was concerned floodwater containing toxins from the old pit could flow down to the new skatepark in Bellfields Lane.
"My two boys and their friends would be absolutely heartbroken as they're down there all the time," she said.
In its planning application, the developer states their plan: "Provides affordable housing, incorporates measures for sustainable transport, enhances green infrastructure and is in a sustainable location. The flood risk has been assessed.
"There is no reason why approval should not be granted."

I am about to send buffalo capes to tannery,i like wet tan for my deer and elk.Could anyone tell me if i can go with a wet tan on Buffalo ?If not why.?.Thanks
Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
I'd go with a dry. The wet cape is gonna be pretty heavy to work with. With a dry, lay it hair down on the floor and just we the skin side. Just my .02
You get more stretch out of it. And you'll need it since bovines are not very stretchable to begin with.
Just tell the tannery to extract the cape before shipping it back to you. I had two muskox capes done this way and one was very long cut for a pedestal. Worked out excellent.
If you are shipping the capes across the country to be tanned then the weight might be a factor in the shipping cost. I have mine wet tanned and they really don't weigh that much, if the tanner has shaved them down the way they should be done.

Rapid Fire Reviews
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Independence Day Edition (Third Salvo)
Or – "Of Course, The Shield Came First…" Continuing our Major Spoilers Star-Spangled Weekend™, and so far we're running an average of 3 stars for the items reviewed from the big, dumb month of June 2010. Another batch of comics (featuring the first star-spangled hero, as well as several former heads of state) is on the chopping block… Will our average go waaay up, or waay DOWN?
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Independence Day Edition (Second Salvo)
Or – "And Seriously, Don't Even Get Me Started On All The Buckys!" Day two of the Major Spoilers Star-Spangled Weekend™, I'm freshly sunburnt from swimming, but still Ready, Willing and Able (Attorneys At Law?) to go over some of the high-points of last month's comic book output. The Justice League of America, all-American Tony Stark and the styling of verdant Lanterns and Hornets take center stage as our Rapid-Fire Reviews continue!
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Independence Day Edition (First Salvo)
Or – "Do You Know How Many Captain Americas There Actually Are?" As part of my Major Spoilers Star-Spangled Weekend™, I'm going to be periodically checking in with you, the Faithful Spoilerites to talk a little pop culture during my long weekend off. (Vacation from two out of three jobs is the best I'm going to get.) This time around, Captain America, American Son, as well as the greatest heroes of China and Russia take center stage as we look at the best and worst of last month with our monthly Rapid-Fire REVIIIEOOOOOOOOooOOOOOEWWWW!
Rapid-Fire Reviews And The Howling Commandoes!
Or – "April Showers Bring May Flowers, But Mayflowers Only Bring Religious Dissidents…" Man, it has been a LOOOONG month of May. The comics industry seems intent on moving to $3.99 price points, The Eleventh Doctor got hit on, and Scarlett Johanssen looks great in skintight stretch fabrics. In any case, since another month has come and gone, and it's a three-day weekend for many in the United States we've got time to look at a couple dozen things that have come out in recent weeks, Rapid-Fire Style!
Rapid-Fire Reviews: March Madness!!
Or – "Named For The Roman God Martius, God Of War…" Not to be confused with famed Martian general Marvin, whose computers are so complex and naughty… Traditionally, this month has signaled the beginning of the season of military campaigns, and also the time when college basketball generals lead their troops unto the field of battle. For me, working in small-market TV for as long as I did, it's a month which signals mighty pains in the butt, which explains why this is technically the FEBRUARY edition of RFR. We apologize for the inconvenience… Better to just press on.
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Beyond The Black Hole
Or – "There Are Old Pilots And Bold Pilots, But Few Old, Bold Pilots…" I saw recently that a clinical study proved that January 25th is the most depressing day of the entire year, scientifically and unequivocally. While I don't disagree with that sentiment (especially as it regards the attendance of employees in Midwestern United States call centers) I find it fascinating that somebody actually got paid to try and figure out something that silly and (let's be honest, here) banal. Still and all, it's the kind of story that you read and go, "Yeah, I can see that." Thus,
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Channuchrismakwanzukahkaa-New-Year Edition!
Or – "Where's My Santa On The Shaver, Dammit?" Sometimes the holidays turn into a blur of food and family and spectacle, like the Roman Empire right before the Dark Ages. When that happens, it's good to have Rapid Fire Reviews: Reading the comics, so you don't have to!
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Giving Thanks Edition!
Or – "Turkey Fact #12: If You Leave A Turkey Out In The Rain, He'll Drown… Stupid Bird." Every year, I tell myself that I'm going to take it easy on Thanksgiving, and every year, I pretty much feel like a python who swallowed a wild boar. Yesterday, I had three slices of pie, an enormous wedge of ham, and half a bag of crackers with cheese spread, and that was the day BEFORE the holiday feasting. In order to help you digest YOUR Thanksgiving dinner, (Disclaimer: May not be valid in all areas!) we've got another line-up of
Review: Rapid-Fire Reviews – Stale Chocolate Edition!
Or – "I Decided To Trick Or Treat With My Kid Instead… Sorry." The MUSIC MEEEISSSSTERRRR! Sing the song that the world wants to heeeear! Man, I've had that stuck in my head for WEEKS, now. This particular RFR was meant to go up last week, just in time for the annual festival of half-price chocolate, but various things conspired to keep me from completing it until today. For those of you who can't get enough comic review goodness, I've got the cowbell to slake your fever, and it's time to ask ourselves, baby, what's the word? In the words
Review: Rapid-Fire Reviews Battle Network 5 Operate Shooting Star!
Or – "Hey, Vent! You Ready To Move Out?" When you read monthly comic books the way that I do, often times you get to the point where you feel like you know what's coming, when every title feels like you've read it before. On the other hand, you have the odd experience where you read a title or issues that you KNOW you've read before, but you cannot for the life of you remember how it's supposed to end. With over a hundred monthly titles coming out, sometimes you need to play catchup, you need to go where everybody
Rapid-Fire Reviews: Labor Day Edition
Or – "Most People Don't Know That His Full Name Is Manuel Labór." So, I have completed my daily labors, overseeing the dozen fellers and gals what make up the current workgroup to call themselves Team RamRod ("See, you're Arkot Ramathorn… Ram. And I'm Rodney Farva… Rod. Team RamRod!") and I am preparing to have some spaghetti and hang out with friends, but first I wanted to catch up with some of the many titles that I've neglected over the busy last days of August… RAPID-FIRE REVIEW TIME!
Rapid Fire Reviews: The Next Generation
Or – "Sir, I Protest! I Am NOT A Merry Man!!!" Once again, we've come to the situation where Stately Spoilers Manor contains far more comics than there are days to review 'em, leading once again unto the Final Frontier… NUQNEH – NOOKNEHH! Phasers on summarize!
Review: Rapid-Fire Reviews 33 1/3 – The Smell of Fear
Or – "Of Course I'm Serious. And Don't Call Me Shirley." Oh say can you see… By the dawn's early light! What so proudly we hail… In the twilight's last gleaming? Whose bright stripes and broad stars, In the perilous night… For the ramparts we watched, uh, da-da-da-da-da-daaaa… And the rocket's red glare! Buncha bombs in the air! Gave proof to the night! That we still had our flag! Oh say does that flag banner wave, Over a-a-all that's free! And the home of the land… And the land of the – FREE!
Review: Red White And Blue Rapid-Fire Reviews – Now With Roman Candles!
Or – "We Hold These Comics To Be Self-Evident…" Today is American Independence Day, commonly referred to as July 4th, as it takes place on the 4th of July, hence the name, and that's why the song is called Alice's Restaurant… To all the faithful Spoilerites of the United States, Happy 4th of July. For those of you who are from elsewhere, sorry about all the hegemony and stuff. Either way, it's time for another bout of our Rapid Fire Reviews, bite-sized chunks of comics that I either couldn't write three paragraphs about, or ran out of time to cover.
