UV Mapping
Posted 01 September 2004 - 02:41 AM Edited by crazydude, 01 September 2004 - 08:23 PM.
*Organization* Always remember to be organized, I also find that having 64x64 256x256 512x512 and 1024x1024 textures to be the best. They dont distort. If they are not that size make them with MS paint.
Step 1
Now you have to change one of your viewports to the UV Mapper View, I chose the Front viewport.
Step 2
Have a shape ready, go into faces mode then click on the shape, now you could choose each polygon individually and they have red dots in the middle.
Step 3
On the right go to select/single and with the right mouse button select the individual polygons that you want to put a texture to.
Step 4
Now, press the "E" button on your keyboard or press the red sphere on the mode selection to open up the material editor.
Step 5
Click on the copy button and select the copied default material and rename to whatever you want. I renamed it to Texture. After doing that check the primary box and click ADD then browse for your texture, make sure its a .bmp format and its the 1 of the resolutions I have mentioned earlier. Now click on Assign to Selection then press Apply changes.
Step 6
**Now make sure that you pressed the *space bar* and that the SEL button is pressed. And then click on Surface/Mapping.../Assign UV . Then just press on one of the selected polygons and bam! You have the texure mapped on the object and you have the side of that object in the UV mapper.
Step 7
Go back to the mode menu and choose Objects Mode and also press your space bar key. Now you could edit the object in the UV Mapper. For Example... I will scale and move it to fit the UV mapping Square.
*Final Product*
You have just learned the basics!
Thank you

heh, guess you gotta hold ~ when in UV mapping view to select the faces so you can move and scale....now I gotta figure out why textures are in black and white instead of color. I used the textures from the game, I just added a few polys to a model, textured them and put the model back in the game

2012 So Far. Is There A Quickening?
I am in Honolulu now. It has been almost four years since I have been here. It is a time of catching up with friends from a past period. Ghandi said we can never stand in the same river twice. Even though the geography remains familiar like the place you put your foot in the river, the river is not the same. I am in another state of mind or consciousness and realized that with that state comes a corresponding way of experiencing the familiar terrain.
See if it isn't happening for you right now…
I was having lunch with my former wife, Susanne and her former business partner, Maureen. We were talking about 2012 and all of the predictions. Susanne said she had just heard a profound comment: our ability to manifest is directly proportionate to our capacity to love and being particularly conscious of this would be an interesting way to embrace and track the year's personal experiences.
In reflecting on people from the past we commented on how much we had enjoyed a mutual friend, Jesse, and how nice it would be to see him. He was always on the frontier of the new and novel. After lunch, we were waiting for the elevator at the 2nd level of a local mall. As it opened there was Jesse. We laughed. No sooner had we talked about wanting to see Jesse, there he was.
Having just spent ten days with dear friends on the Big Island and taking care of a real estate sale as well as shedding and storing "stuff," I reflected on events, and they seemed to have come together as smoothly as zipping up a well oiled zipper. They were not big things, but they could have been were they to have gone the wrong way.
I think that the most difficult challenge for me is to be mindful of what is gaining my attention and not to dwell too long on bad news, conflict, and turmoil which is the daily diet of the media. Secondly, when even the simplest of events like running into Jesse occur, I want to take a moment to connect the dots and say, "Yes."
While these are small parts of existence being aware of them not only creates strength in the face of uncertainty, but adds excitement when we see them happen. I would love to hear whether you are noticing these small daily occurrences and in this state of mind realizing that they are happening faster.

OK for a double mattress
Not bad but you can find a much better unit for a comparable price. will not work wihtout a Box SpringRead More
Simple and sleek.
This is the second tapered leg platform bed we purchased at Overstock. The first was a queen over 9 years ago; still in excellent shape. We upgraded to a King and love it. Make sure you support the mattress with a board of some kind or there's a big possibility of breaking the frame (we wrapped a board with a sheet and laid on the platform before putting the heavy memory foam mattress on it.) Love this sleek looking frame.Read More
Easy to put together
It was not hard at all to put it together. There is a chip on frame so I am putting glue on top of wood split, before it spilts more.Read More

Iit collapsed and it's not solid mohogany
First of all, it's not solid mahogany, it's laminated. I really have no problem with that, for the price, but there is clear intent to deceive the buyer here. in the description it is stated on one line that it is "solid wood" and then, in a new line further down they note "made from tropical mahogany" and thus they avoid the patently false statement "made of solid mahogany" while at the same time making the unwitting buyer believe they are buying solid mahogany. Nice trick. It's laminated - solid pine, most likely. There are two things a happy, married couple does while in bed. One of them is not sleep and while this happy married couple did this for the first time in this bed, the bed exploded. Now, i am a licensed construction contractor, and i have turned my share of screws and cut my share of wood and assembled my share of furniture, etc. I assembled it correctly. There are two things that conspired to make it collapse. One, the inadequate posts running down the middle are attached with one screw which affords zero lateral stability (but they are so skinny it is difficult to add more screws though it is possible and i recommend this). So when the bed got moving the little legs pulled the screws right out of the wood. Two, all the legs and posts have tiny little hard plastic knobs on the base - this is what the bed rests on. Put these on a nice hardwood floor (slippery floor) and every time we got in bed, the bed moved 4 inches across the floor. We had to train ourselves to approach the bed as if it were an angry animal, and gently get into bed lest the thing try to run away. ridiculous. I fabricated two 4x4 posts and covered the base with 3 mm rubber sheet affixed with epoxy and used these as the center line. then i cut small rubber sheets and glued to the base of the four corner legs. in addition, i did not like the fact that bed bowed a little (I weigh 210 lbs) so i added half inch plywood on top of the runners. the bed is now perfect but i didn't appreciate having to spend about 3 hours doing all these mods and for most people these mods would be more difficult than they were for me - i had all the wood, rubber, and tools to hand.Read More
Bed looks great, and was relatively easy for me to assemble on my own, without help from the wife. Unfortunately, the braces to the center support beam (runs down the middle underneath the bed) are all so loose, like the screws were stripped straight out of the package. I bought brackets from the hardware store to firm the legs up, but the wood is so soft that the screws just pulled right out. We have resorted to stacking books under the bed under the middle support, so the slats don't break. The bed still looks good, you'd never know there was a problem just seeing the bed set up. I guess this is what you get for a discount rate online... can't ship it back after all the hassle of putting the thing together! Just disappointing.Read More
Bought the bed when it went on sale. For the money we paid, its good.It appears really good. We haven't slept on it yet since we are waiting for the mattress.Ordered kingsize bed, it doesn't look really sturdy as it appears in the picture. It comes with 12 horizontal slats and 1 center slat with 2 support legs.We went to lowes and bought 2 more center slats and support legs as we felt the slats were bending as soon as we sat on it.May be we should put a plywood sheet for extra support to the mattress and spreading out the weight on the bed.The horizontal slats need to be nailed but they aren't long enough to be nailed to both the edges of the bed. So we alternated between the sides.Took 2 people about 45 min to assemble.On the whole it's cheaper than most beds available in the platform bed category and simple and basic structure.Read More
great buy for the $$
We bought this to "match" our existing Pottery Barn furniture in our master bedroom. We have had the furniture for ten years now. We felt like the stain on the bed was great and PB couldn't have done a better job matching the mahogany stain, ten years later. The bed was easy to put together as my hubby works with wood every day. There was a defect in one of the legs but he quickly fixed the situation. There was no thread to screw the leg into the frame. He used his own screws to fix the situation. All in all it was well worth the money.Read More
Great bed!
This bed is very sturdy, beautiful looking, and came with an unbeatable price. I looked high and low for a simple bed like this and this one meets all my needs. Came exactly as advertised.Read More
Questions & Answers
i wanted something simple without a high headboard.
"I have seen 2 different weight capacities for this bed. Is it 1500 or 350 pounds?"
Hello Honeynella, we do not currently weight test items and apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us.
"i see that you mentioned other colors also but i don't find an option to choose different color, do you have cherry color in this model? Also can i put a headboard with this model if i already have one?"
Hi priag, we currently do not offer this bed in cherry, although, we do have it in espresso and you can find it by searching for item number 11890029. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us.
"Does a mattress sit down in bed frame at all, or does it have any type of lip around the edge? We want to use 2 twin mattresses on it instead of 1 king."
Mattress sits down inside the fram about 2- 3 inches
"Will this bed support the weight of a tempurpedic bed and two adults? Tempurpedics are quite heavy."
Thank you smadrigal for the opportunity to help you with the Tapered Leg King-size Platform Bed. The bed frame according to the manufacturer will hold up to 1500 pounds on it at one time so you and your partner and a Temperpedic mattress will be a good fit for this frame. Thank you for shopping with us.
"What is the distance between the top of the slats where the mattress sits and the floor?"
Hello montchkins, That is 14 inches. Thank you for shopping with us!
"Can this be used with a memory foam mattress, with or without a foundation?"
Thank you for your interest in the Tapered Leg King-size Platform Bed. Yes it can be used with a memory foam mattress. This bed is designed to not have a box springs.
"What kind of wood is it made of? Is there any mdf or particle board?"
Tropical Mahogany solid wood.
"How much clearance space is there under the bed?"
8 inches.
The weight capacity for this bed is 350 pounds.
"What are the inner dimensions of this bed where the mattress is inserted?"
The inner dimensions are 76 inches width x 80 inches length.
"Is there a manufacturer's warrantee?"
Unfortunately, there is not a manufacturer''s warranty for this product.
"Can a headboard be attached to this bed?"
You could attach a headboard.
This bed uses an L bracket system. The L bracket comes preattached to the side rails. The assembly procedure involves attaching the side rails to threaded inserts in the head and foot rail using phillips bolts. If your headboard has threaded inserts in the exact same position as the holes in the L brackets you can attach it to the side rails directly. More likely, however, you would need to use an adapter plate or modi plate. In some cases you may even need to drill holes directly through the headboard and secure them to the L brackets with bolts, washers and nuts.
Yes, you could attach a headboard.

|G-Cube iHL-500BK Luxury Headset
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Audio
|Written by Joseph Dionisio
|Thursday, 02 August 2012
Page 1 of 5
G-CUBE Audio Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset
Manufacturer: G-CUBE
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by G-CUBE.
In the world of computer audio, G-CUBE is not one of those names that comes up often. There's a valid reason for this: The company is still at the stage where it is trying to establish a place for itself amongst the crowd of contenders in this hotly-contested arena. Their new Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset (model number iHL-500BK) is the company's latest entry into the market of sub-$100.00 headsets.
The company's G-CUBE Audio line only came to being in 2010, a scant two years after the parent company itself started. G-CUBE themselves say that they exist to "(blend) fashion with technology." The Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset represents the ultimate expression of that stated raison d'etre. With its retro-inspired styling, hand-stitched leather on the soft ear pads and headband, and the "sport luxury" leatherette finish applied to the outsides of the ear cups, the Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset certainly looks very fashionable; moreover, its 40mm speakers, integrated microphone pickup, circumaural design, and astounding versatility speak to its capabilities as a hi-fidelity headset.
Benchmark Reviews will be testing and evaluating the G-CUBE Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset for its performance as stereo headphones for listening to music on both the PC and a portable music player such as the iPod. Additionally, we will also test its performance as a stereo headset with a modern cellphone as well as chat programs such as Skype. We will also be assessing its ergonomics and styling. Finally, we will give an opinion of just how well the Luxy 500 Dynamic HiFi Headset fits at its price point of $89.99 (Amazon/Newegg).

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi and thanks for writing JA
how are you holding up tonight?
ok, I need to know what to do
well nice to see you
how are you tonight?
hi can you read my posts?
I can see my customer online but he is not able to see my responses
cannot respond to my test responses
I can not see your responce I only see the disclaimer
okay let me report this as a tech problem and we will see what we can do
okay customer do not worry we are having a tech problem here
I asked you how you were
can you email me your responce
and you could not see it
which is our way of testing the program
so let me report this as a tech problem
I have reported that you are not able to read the scrolling responses here
and someone will be in touch with you soon.
best wishes.
can you email me the respce
u there?
anyone there?
Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds very likely that this other woman is married or otherwise attached, which is why she wanted to text only, so she could erase any evidence. This is very likely why she is not responding to your texts now that she is back home.
Since she said she only likes to correspond via text, I would not email her or call her. You can text her maybe one more time and ask her why she is not responding to you, or if she wants you to stop texting her. If she does not respond to that text, then I would stop altogether.
You would not be considered a stalker if you texted her just one more time, by the way.
I would try to forget about her. It was just a flirtation and one kiss, and she is more than likely attached and not available for any kind of relationship.
As for relationship counseling for you, that would depend on if you feel your primary relationship needs strengthening. If you two have agreed to an open relationship and are both okay with that, then if that works for you, that is only your business. If one of you however is not 100% okay with it, then yes relationship counseling would be a really good idea, or if there is anything else you might need to address.
Best wishes. Please click ACCEPT button so I'm credited for my help today. Also, feel free to respond to me here, even after clicking ACCEPT. Thank you,

Yet again, the Celtics are struggling to get out of the gates in the first quarter tonight against Toronto. In the first quarter this season, Boston has been outscored five of seven times and they're averaging just 21 points.
With five minutes left in the first quarter, Jermaine O'Neal is already in double-digits. He's been destroying Kendrick Perkins since the opening tip. KG even switched onto J.O. to stop the bleeding, and then Chris Bosh nearly crammed on Perk's head on the other side of the paint.
To kill two birds with one stone and fix both the slow start and defensive issues, Doc should seriously consider bringing Perkins off the bench. The question is who should start instead? I'm voting for Leon Powe.
Do you think that the Celtics should start Leon Powe instead of Kendrick Perkins?

Staying On Track
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Fresno City College Track and Field team continues to put up strong marks in several events.
At the American River Invitational meet, Miguel Quinn ran the 100 meter with a personal best of 10.56. "It's only my 3rd time running. I surprised myself by placing 4th. I should of won, I believe, but everybody wants to win," said Quinn who continues a strong season.
Earlier in the season, Quinn finished second in the 200 m at the Jack Albiani Invitational. In the same meet, he finished second in the 100 meter. He was also part of the relay teams that finished first at the Jack Albiani Invitational and fourth at the American River Invitational.
Another athlete that continues to build on a strong season is freshman Willy Irwin. This season, Irwin has recorded four first place finishes in the shot put and two first place finishes in the discus throw. Irwin also finished second in the discus throw at the Santa Barbara Easter Relays.
Sprinter Michael Staab had his best performance of the season in the 400 m hurdle at the Delta Mustang Invitational. He finished first with a time of 55.97. Staab's other strong performances of the season include a second place finish in the high jump relay at the American River College Beaver Relays and a jump of 2.06 m at the Run for the Dream meet.
On the women's side, the pole vault team has made a large contribution to the success of the team. At the Jack Albiani Invitational, Rebekah Morrison and Claudia Morrison finished second and third respectively. Karissa Bell also finished third at the Jack Albiani Invitational and third once again at the American River Invitational.
In throwing events, Pilar Becerra has emerged as one of the top performers. Becerra was first in the Javelin throw at the Raydell Barkley Relays and at the Jack Albiani Invitational. "I am very surprised on how well I've performed. After two left knee surgeries I didn't expect to do much. Recovery has been hard," said Becerra who is ranked 2nd in the state.
She gives the credit to hard work and strong faith. Equipped with Christian hip-hop on her iPod, Becerra starts her day with a trip to the gym at 5 a.m., a mile run and some running on the stairs. "When I get on the run-way I pray before I throw and tell God that He is in control. When it's my turn to throw, I look up at the sky and say this is for you Lord," said Becerra. "When I do good, I give God all the glory. When I don't perform well I work harder so that I can continue to share that light."
Becerra says her goal for the rest of the season is to have fun and work as hard as possible. "I want to be able to look back and say I did all I could," said Becerra. "Whether I continue to do well or even if things turn around, I'll always work hard to get that number one for Jesus, that spotlight he deserves."

There is nothing Sandra Pupatello could have done differently that might have changed the outcome of Saturday's provincial Liberal leadership convention - with one exception, said one local political watchdog.
Pupatello may have erred by not keeping riding seat
There is nothing Sandra Pupatello could have done differently that might have changed the outcome of Saturday's provincial Liberal leadership convention – with one exception, said one local political watchdog.
"The mistake she maybe made was a year-and-a-half ago when she decided not to run in her riding," University of Windsor political science associate professor Lydia Miljan said, reflecting on Pupatello's loss on the weekend to Kathleen Wynne.
"Her decision happened when the Liberals were low in the polls and some may have felt she abandoned the party when they needed her most. Some might have thought it was disingenuous for her to then step back in when Dalton (McGuinty) announced his resignation. It did look a bit like a calculated move."
The fact Pupatello does not have a seat as an MPP also may have weighed on the minds of some delegates.
"That was a big factor for a lot of the delegates," Miljan said. "Kathleen Wynne was ready to govern right away."
Wynne also made a great strategic move by openly discussing her sexuality during her convention speech, Miljan said.
"She discussed the elephant in the room and by discussing her sexuality dared them to vote for her," she said. "By her referring to that openly in her speech made it difficult for anybody to continue a whisper campaign. People talked of her electability as an issue, but the fact she raised it in her speech swayed people like (fellow candidate Charles) Sousa to go to her side."
Miljan guessed Pupatello will remain out of provincial politics unless somehow there is another shot at being premier, although she may run federally.
"Really it's too soon to say what she will do," she said. "This was a pretty big blow. She was the frontrunner heading into the convention and the first two ballots."
As for whether a provincial election looms soon on the horizon, that issue is largely in the hands of the NDP, Miljan believes.
She expects the left-leaning Wynne will move to cut deals with the NDP in the upcoming budget to keep New Democrats on side and avoid an election.
"If there are concessions to what Andrea Horwath wants, this government could last long," Miljan said. "But if she does not give in to what the NDP desires we could have an election soon."

Code generation tools provider SoftFluent, an Alliance level VSIP partner, announced at Visual Studio Live this month a visual tool to help .NET development shops more effectively build applications with its CodeFluent Entities software factory product. The solution enables dev shops to build out applications using a simple model-driven approach, directly integrated into Visual Studio 2010 or 2008.
CodeFluent Entities Modeler Edition lets developers create visual application models inside the Visual Studio environment, and take advantage of built-in Visual Studio functionality like source code control. Developers are able to build their application using entities, properties and methods concepts, by using a drag-and-drop interface to establish relationships and business rules. From this model, ready-to-use components are generated towards any kind of architecture: web, desktop, smart client, Silverlight, SharePoint and more.
The Graphical Modeler provides several features including:
· Modeling of your application,
· Namespace and solar (centered around an entity) views of the model,
· Bidirectional synchronization with underlying XML representation of the model (that can be directly edited),
· Reporting modules giving insight of the model, including metrics,
· Search features to find shapes or any model concept,
· A Model grid view to get a transversal view of all concepts of your application,
· Member Format Expressions to highlight aspects of your model,
· A CFQL editor including IntelliSense technology to easily write your data-oriented methods,
· User interfaces for business rules, producers, patterns and much more!
CodeFluent Entities is available for download and includes a free version for models up to 10 entities. The Core Version which includes the generators is fully released and has been proven for some years. As such, CodeFluent Entities is an interesting real-world solution available today for model-driven development on the Microsoft platform.
The Graphical Modeler available in the Modeler Edition is still in Beta but can already be downloaded and used while the final release should be available later in the fall, around the Visual Studio Live Orlando timeframe in November. Some screenshots of the product can be seen using Silverlight Pivot technology.

How do you define success?
By the absence of failure? By reaching 95% of an unattainable goal?
Or do you just make it up, sometimes, like I do?
Also sprach Zarathustra. Don Quixote. VW Cabrio Convertible Top Replacement — the novella Hemingway meant to write after The Sun Also Rises. Apparently, he never got around to it.
And for good reason.
Good God, you have to be something of a philosopher poet mechanic to get the thing (said Top) fitted on the car correctly.
And for the record, I did have some help the last couple of days. My Significant Other assisted me in maneuvering the monstrosity (said Top) onto the body yesterday, and Daughter's Little Biting Sister struck a perfect Statute of Liberty pose for me today as she held the thing half-open so I could tighten some inaccessible bolts.
Let the record, therefore, show that the marginally negative comments I referenced in my last post were balanced by a little bit of timely assistance by sideline family members.
Thanks, Girls!
As the photo above should demonstrate, I did manage to reinstall the new used Top onto Daughter's car today. I carved out about four hours (more or less) to "git 'er done" and I just about hit the mark.
At this point, I would characterize the job as being almost finished. And even though I took everything apart just yesterday and thought I had a pretty good idea of where all the pieces went, I managed to end up with everything back in place and "only" five grommets left over — a couple of them are fairly large, too.
I have no idea of where they supposedly fit, but I'm sure their absence will be felt during the first rain or bumpy road, depending on their purpose. Until they are needed, they will slumber in the console.
On the positive side, I did note upon disassembly that one bolt used to secure the rear seat to the frame was missing. And though I couldn't remember the position of all the rubber bits (see previous two paragraphs), I cannily made a mental note to address this absence and source a replacement from my Spares Coffee Can.
I did, in fact, find a correct replacement this afternoon, and I happen to know that it originated from an old Alfa Romeo of mine from years past. For good measure, I even replaced the good German bolt (that wasn't missing) with a second Alfa bolt, so Daughter's VW has a tiny bit of Italian blood in it now.
Based on my many years of experience, the next failure for the VW will have something to do with the Alfa parts.
Trust me on this.
So as I was finishing everything up late today, my work certainly seemed to be taking on the appearance of looking half-way decent. A neighbor across the street emerged from his house, just as I was taking the Cabrio for a test drive — I had to make sure the Top wasn't going to fly off at speed — and I commented to Said Neighbor, "Hey, I noticed you didn't offer to come over and help me with the Top today."
To which he replied, "I've had a headache all day, and it looked like you knew what you were doing."
"My goal is to be semi-professional," I shouted, and I roared off down the street.
Actually, Daughter's car never roars; it putt-putts.
After a successful test drive (nothing bad happened), I pulled up to the house and began to button everything up for the night.
Don't be fooled — the Cabrio still needs a major, thorough cleaning, top to bottom, and I've got to figure out why the "Check Engine" light is now illuminated and, of course, the speedometer and tachometer have stopped working again.
Plus, there's the matter of making final adjustments to the Top — the last 5%, as it were.
By my reckoning I've got at least another weekend of work ahead of me to conquer all the remaining tasks and to address whatever new ones pop up during the course of knocking out the old ones.
But it's good therapy, after all.
So for me, success is a new used Top on Daughter's VW that fits pretty darn well and no longer has any gaping holes around the rear window. Yes, in a pathetic attempt to stave off the inevitable replacement hassle, I was one of those guys who used packing tape to try to patch up the Top in a forlorn quest to keep the elements from entering the cabin.
The tape lasted about two days before completely delaminating.
And just to reassure you that this new used Top was meant to be exactly for Daughter's car, as I was cleaning off the rear window, I noticed not just one, but two very faded decals in the corner of the glass.
You guessed it. They were cats.
Hope does, indeed, spring eternal, and tomorrow is, indeed, another day.
Daughter, I want my truck back!
– Dad

The press is decidedly divided about what worked and what didn't at last night's rejiggered Academy Awards ceremony, but everyone seems unanimous in the assessment that it was different. And any departure for a show that saw its lowest recorded ratings just last year seems to be a welcome one.
- The New York Times' Alessandra Stanley posited that the night's best move was the selection of Hugh Jackman as host. "Mr. Jackman was high-spirited, not mean-spirited," she wrote. "He spoke with sass, but unlike more satirical predecessors like Chris Rock and Jon Stewart, there were no smirks; he came to the task with Broadway sizzle, not a stand-up routine." [NYT]
- Whether the production numbers were effective or not doesn't seem to matter to most. The fact that there was such a dramatic change to the format was enough for The Hollywood Reporter to note that the franchise is "undeniably the better for it." [Hollywood Reporter]
- Variety's Timothy M. Gray—who was actually inside the Kodak Theatre—wrote an overwhelmingly positive review, praising the set design and, particularly, the incorporation of music. "The best decision was to move the orchestra onstage, which made a closer physical connection between audience and performers, helping break down that best-behavior attitude; the looser mood was contagious even to the balconies." [Variety] ul>
- For the viewers at home, Variety wasn't quite as impressed with the attempt at reinvention, citing some efforts far less successful than others. Most specifically, the lumping together of some of the more technical awards for makeup and costumes carried on for a bit too long. "It was a noble stab at cohesion," wrote Brian Lowry, "but the show pretty much ground to a halt there." [Variety]
- The Chicago Tribune TV critic Maureen Ryan thought the producers became a little too obsessed with their vision of how things would go this year. Their choice to showcase Hollywood's past in long production numbers, while only giving nominated scores and songs brief montages, didn't seem to make sense. [Tribune]
- Some people found no good in the show at all. Mary McNamara, over at award season blog The Envelope, thought the musical numbers, drawn-out announcements of nominees, and host Hugh Jackman were all unforgivable missteps. [LAT]

I get welfare and im not ashamed
I get cash assistance which i will be using to get my baby stuff for her first day of preschool, i get food stamps, and starting monday i will be getting childcare. Why? Because when i was enrolled in college my first semester my classes were all over the place. Some were in the morning afternoon and night. I tried looking for a job and i couldn't find one. So after months of looking and no results i decided in march of 2012 i would apply for food stamps. A few months later i applied for tanf. Do i like being on it no i don't but i gotta do what i gotta do until her dad is served with child support papers. I'll admit from june until november i did nothing i wasn't in school i wasn't actively looking for a job because i was tired and needed my rest. This year is going to be totally different. Since all of my classes are in the afternoon i can work somewhere in the morning. Judge all you want i don't care one bit.
I don't know why some of you sound pissed and bitter about me taking a 6 month break ecspecially you stay at home moms you don't work you dh does so be quiet lol. I never said i was proud i never said i was entitled i said i wasn't ashamed because of it. BIG DIFFERENCE!!

Uh.. where does she say she is going to school for free? Assume much?

I wish I could have gone to school for free and get paid.

If you are not ashamed, why are you anon?
SOrry about that... It was an oversight. Multitasking is not always a good thing. I am glad that you are not ashamed, no need to be. It sounds like you are using the program for what is meant for, to help you....not support you.

If you don't want to be judged then you shouldn't be judging others. I don't look down on anyone for trying to better themselves. Why do you feel the need to attack SAHM's. We work just as hard as anyone else. I working harder right now than when I was working 30 hours per week and going to college. I had on campus jobs in school. Most on campus jobs work around your schedule.
How do they let you stay on without actively having a job? I was required to work at least 30 hours a week when I was on it (7 years ago). Have times changed that much?
I am all for PA but you my dear are abusing the system. Sorry but true. Also i respect you are not ANON

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/662,007, filed Sep. 11, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,464,181 B2, issued Dec. 9, 2008.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to communications networks in general and, in particular, to enhancing the data management capabilities of devices connected to said network.
2. Prior Art
The description which follows presupposes knowledge of network data communications and switches, network processors, adapters, routers, etc. as used in such communications networks. In particular, the description presupposes familiarity with the OSI model of network architecture which divides network operation into layers. A typical architecture based upon the OSI model of network architecture which divides network operation into layers. A typical architecture based upon the OSI model extends from Layer 1 (also sometimes identified as "L1") being the physical pathway or media through which signals are passed upwards through Layers 2, 3, 4 and so forth to Layer 7, the last mentioned being the layer of applications programming running on a computer system linked to the network. In this document, mention of L1, L2 and so forth is intended to refer to the corresponding layer of a network architecture. The disclosure also presupposes a fundamental understanding of bit strings known as packets and frames in such network communication.
A general model for a communications network may include one or more private networks coupled via a firewall or similar structure to a public network such as the World Wide Web (WWW) better known as the Internet. Communications between devices connected to the network, hereafter called network devices, may occur solely within the private network or through the firewall via the Internet to remote private networks.
In order to exchange information between network devices and to manage the network some type of protocol is required. The protocol could be characterized as a set of rules that govern access to the network and in some cases are used to keep the network in operable condition. Even though there are some standard protocols, such as ethernet, token ring, etc. that can be used on private networks for the most part private network may use any protocol management wishes to use. The only possible restriction is that network devices, on the private network, must be cognizant of the protocol or else the network devices will not be able to operate or communicate satisfactorily.
Because of the lack of uniformity on private protocols further discussion is limited to the public protocol which is used on the internet. The public protocol is referred to as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)/IP (Internet Protocol). This is a well known protocol which is used to communicate over the internet.
One measure of performance for network devices, such as network processors, running IP routing applications is based upon the number of packets processed or classified within a set time interval such as one second. This in turn can be influenced by the type of classification that is required. For the purpose of routing packets in a network classification may be grouped as Layer 2 (L2), Layer 3 (L3), Layer 4 (L4) and above. The computational requirements for each of the layers increases from L2 to L4 and above.
For example, L2 classification may be as simple as finding a Media Access Control (MAC) table match. This procedure would require comparing a MAC Source Address (SA) or MAC Destination Address (DA) packet with addresses in a table. A more general approach is to use a Full Match Algorithm, such as the one disclosed in application Ser. No. 09/543,531 for L2 classification tasks.
L3 classifications can be used for routing and other L3 functions. L3 classification, if used for routing purposes, requires finding the longest prefix match between information in a packet and information in a database. A Longest Prefix Match Algorithm is used for L3 classification. The Longest Prefix Match Algorithm is more complex than the Full Match Algorithm and, therefore, requires more computational time.
L4 classification includes complex functions such as enforcement of filter rules with possible complex interceding ranges etc. This type of classification usually requires complex algorithm which use relatively long time interval to process a packet. The time interval to process a packet even increases for lookups or classification above L4. Processing above L4 classification is referred to as deep packet processing.
In view of the above, the throughput (number of packets processed per second) of a network device, such as a network processor, depends on the type of lookups or classifications carried out by the device. As a consequence, the computational resources of network processors are stressed when L3 and higher lookups are required. In addition, network processors are often required to carry out lookups with millions of packets per second which further stress the computational resources. With the resources of network processors being stressed, the likelihood of them being able to meet throughput requirements and at the same time process L3 and above lookups appears relatively low.
The present invention provides an accelerator which improves look-up capabilities of network devices and by so doing the network devices are able to classify packets more efficiently than has heretofore been possible.
The accelerator includes a memory called a cache in which characteristics of TCP packets called four-tuple (described herein) are stored. The four-tuple include Internet Protocol (IP) SA, the IP DA, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) source port (SP) and the destination port (DP). Actions associated with each of the four-tuple are also stored. Match logic correlates the four-tuple in a received packet with the four-tuple in the cache. If a match occurs the actions associated with the four-tuple in the cache is applied to the received packet. If a match does not occur the regular process used to classify a packet of that type is followed. Specific methods and apparatus are provided to populate and dynamically age the Flow Cache. The cache and related hardware and/or software are termed "Flow Cache".
By using the Flow Cache a network processor can classify packets at a faster rate than was heretofore possible.
Exemplary methods for managing traffic in a communications network include providing, in a network device, a cache containing predefined characteristics associated with packets and actions paired with some of the predefined characteristics. In receiving a packet in the network device, methods include selecting from received packet characteristics similar to the predefined characteristics, correlating characteristics selected from the received packet with the predefined characteristics, and using results from the correlation to process the received packet.
Other methods include providing in a memory a mapping of predefined characteristics associated with packets and actions to be performed, receiving packets to be classified, correlating selected characteristics of received packets with the predefined characteristics, and performing stored actions on received packets if selected characteristics match predefined characteristics.
Still other methods of classifying packets in a communications network according to the present invention include the acts of receiving packets in a network device, determining data packets present in received packets, and providing a cache in which predefined characteristics of packets and actions associated with selected ones of the predefined characteristics are stored. For each data packet so determined, the methods correlate selected characteristics of the data packet with the predefined characteristics in the cache, and impose on each of those data packets selected characteristics matching one of the predefined characteristics an action associated with one of the predefined characteristics.
Embodiments also include systems that include a processor and a cache operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the cache stores a napping between predefined characteristics of packets and actions. A processor executes a program that causes the processor to correlate characteristics of selected packets with the predefined characteristics and enforce on selected packets actions associated with the predefined characteristics, if characteristics from selected packets match the predefined characteristics. Some systems may also include a memory that stores a mapping between predefined characteristics of packets and actions to be performed for a subset of the set of all characteristic values, and a controller that correlates characteristics in a received packet with the predefined characteristics and performs actions on a received packet if characteristics match the predefined characteristics.
System embodiments may include a network processor and a memory operatively coupled thereto, the memory storing therein a data structure for a full packet search, wherein the network processor executes a program that causes the network processor to access the data structure and imposing on a packet an action stored in said data structure if a mismatch occurs between the predefined characteristics and the characteristics from the selected packets. Exemplary programs include a full match algorithm, a Longest Prefix Match algorithm and a Software Managed Tree algorithm. The coupled memory may be internal or external to the network processor. Data structures may include a Direct Table and Patricia Tree.
Embodiments also provide for a program product including a medium on which a computer program is recorded, wherein the program includes instructions that correlate characteristics of a received packet with characteristics in a table, the table containing a subset of all possible characteristic values; and also instructions to enforce an action stored in the table on the received packet if the characteristics of the received packet and the characteristics in the table match. Some program products further include instructions to generate the table containing the characteristics and associated actions, and products may include instructions to maintain the table, and optionally to delete aged entries and insert new entries.
Other object, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description which follows below.
The present invention uses flow caching to expedite classification of packets in a communications network and hence improve the number of packets the network device can process in a particular unit time. It works well with TCP traffic and as such will be described in that environment. However, this should not be a limitation upon the scope of the invention since it works well with any communication protocol in which traffic occurs in bursts. For example, it is believed that UDP traffic (protocol 17) between DNS servers occur in bursts and could also benefit from flow caching. As a general statement of the invention the general approach is to identify those flows which consistently have the most bundling and only go to the cache for them. Of equal importance is avoiding the cache for those packet types which do not bundle.
Flows or packets with most bundling comes in bursts that occur within relatively short period of time interval and are referred to in this document as "Frequent Flyers".
Still referring to
As stated previously the protocol which is used on the internet is the TCP/IP protocol. The present invention is described with respect to data packets using this protocol. The TCP/IP protocol has certain packets referred to in the present invention as "Frequent Flyers" which consistently occur in bursts. Each processor is preprogrammed with rules including actions to be taken relative to packets received, in the Network Processor, and matching a particular rule. According to the teaching of the present invention, Frequent Flyers and their associated actions are placed in the cache and subsequent members of the burst can be processed based upon information stored in the cache. As a consequence the throughput of the system using the present invention is enhanced.
It should be noted that if a match is not found for a packet in the cache the standard classification system and method provided for in the Network Processor is followed. The standard classification system and method requires more time than the cache to process packets. As a consequence the cache reduces the latency associated with standard classification systems.
For this invention to be effective the size of the cache has to be controlled. If the size of the cache is too large it could actually degrade performance of the system. The cache should only be large enough to maintain session information for the duration of a burst of the Frequent Flyers. Examination of real Internet traffic shows that this interval is approximately 1 ms. This interval along with the Frequent Flyer packet rate handled by the network processor can be used to compute the required size of the cache.
Ideally, the cache size should be able to be contained within internal fast SRAM and should be small enough to be searched within the time available to process the packet. Note that larger caches may require more time to search.
Referring again to
It is obvious from the description that the cache works in conjunction with the structure and full packet search algorithms identified above to provide a more efficient packet classification system.
The contents of the cache has to be changed periodically in order for the system to work satisfactorily. This means older entries must be deleted to make space in the cache for newer entries. According to one embodiment,
In the case that the database has not changed (block 808), processing continues with block 812. A check is made for the expiration timer expiring (reaching a value of zero). If the timer has expired, every entry of the cache is checked (block 814). If the timer has not expired, processing continues with block 806. Each entry which has not been used during the prior expiration interval is removed from the cache (block 816). Processing then continues with block 805, starting a new expiration timer.
In an alternate embodiment, instead of using the aging program 800, algorithm 700 can be modified slightly to perform the aging function. Within block 726, if no space is available for a new cache entry to be added, the least recently used cache entry can be removed and the new entry can be added in its place.
By using the Flow Cache to classify packets in a communications network instead of using traditional algorithm and data structure the time required to classify packets is such shorter and as a result system throughput is enhanced.
In yet another embodiment, the present invention relates to the classification of packets in a communications network. This is achieved by (a) receiving packets in a network device; (b) determining data packets present in received packets; and (c) providing a cache in which predefined characteristics of packets and actions associated with selected ones of the predefined characteristics are stored. For each data packet so determined, selected characteristics of the data packet are correlated with the predefined characteristics in the cache. For each data packet with selected characteristics matching one of the predefined characteristics, imposing on the data packet the action associated with the predefined characteristic. If the packets include TCP/IP packets, the determining act further includes the following acts. Examine control bits in the TCP header. If selected ones of said control bits include SYN, FIN and RST, they are set to a first state. The length field in the IP header is examined to determine its value. The value in the data offset field in the TCP header is multiplied by 4. The result of the multiplication is then subtracted from the value in the length field.
The foregoing is illustrative of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. Although exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teaching and advanced use of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the claims.

First you have to decide division. There is basically Open, Limited and Heavy. Limited is divided into magnified and unmagnified as is Heavy.
In the Limited classes, the only difference is the rifle sighting system. In magnified, the dominant optics are 1-6s ($1500 to $2000) and 1-4s ($300 to $2000). The Z6i and Burris MTAC 1-4 were the two most dominant scopes in 2012. I use the Burris MTAC 1-4.
Pistol...it is going to be a hi-cap 9mm most likely as there is no PF requirement. Even USPSA is now using a Time-Plus scoring system. It is going to be a Striker fired pistol (G34, M&P Pro, XDm, FNS for about $900 set-up) or a 2011 platform (figure about $2500 set-up). There are some CZs, but they are not prevalent. A few of the top 2011 guys have run .38 Super which is a little more reliable and takes spinners better (Iron Man). I shoot a USPSA Production legal M&P 9Pro with a very good trigger job and Taylor Freelance pads giving me 23+1. About $900 with mags.
Shotgun...it is going to be a 12 guage. Benelli is the most popular largely because they have been around for the longest in a configuration that will take the abuse. They are the lightest of the options, and kick the most. The bolts bounce out of battery and if you are fast, you can lock up the trigger. Just this year, they started to actively support 3 gun, maybe because they have been losing market share. Figure on $1000 on up.
The SLP is probably the second most popular, and what I shot in 2011 and 2012. It has the best stock trigger, soft recoil and is built like a tank. While it is ready to run out of the box, there are some improvements that can be made. Figure on $950 or so. There are various Wnchester SX models that have the same operating system and are a few hunderd less.
Remington 1100 has been a solid performer for many, but it is harder to load, the loading port can not be opened up sufficiently and when it starts to go bad, it goes very bad. Not an option IMHO, and I shot one for almost 20 years. Run around $600 to $900, might or might not need option, but a DMW loading gate is a necessity.
Remington now has the VersaMax. The number one 3 Gunner in the country is shooting it, so it can't be all bad. Good fit and finish, Benelli trigger and bolt with gas support if you will. Benefits of the Benelli and gas gun rolled into one. Expensive, but some feel worth it, $750 to $1200 depending on model. This is what I will be runing in 2013.
The Mossberg 930, in various forms has made some inroads, but it is not in the same league as the 3 above. Reliabilty goes away after about 6 or 7 thousand rounds and the amount of work on it to get it ready to roll is in the realm of $400 or so. Base guns in the $400 to $600 range. The JM models have hard chromed internals, so they last a little longer. Figure from $500 to $1000.
And then we have the basement dweller, sneaking up and smacking spaghetti around at times. The CZ 712 Utility. This has the same operation system as the SLP, however, not as good quality in the fit and finish. But for about $400 and the addition of a Nordic tube for $80, it is the clear bargain winner. $480 ready to roll.
A LOT of people say they are "3 Gunners" or going to shoot "3Gun", which is all great, but it has a large array of meanings. The majors typically require 200 or so rounds of shotgun in a match. Shoot 8 to 10 of those a year, with practice, the Mossberg 930 is a one year gun, the Remington 1100 maybe a 3 year gun. The SLPs and Benellis will last for many many seasons. OTOH, shoot a few locals yearly, 100 round of shot and less, keep them clean and the springs changed, you will get many years out of the Mossy and the 1100s as well. I shot 8 majors last year and shot just about 4600 rounds of shotgun total.
5 Years ago is was shoot a Benelli or maintain a Remmy. Now there are lots of good choices.
Rifle is going to be an AR-15. If you want the best set-up, it will be an 18" barrel with rifle length gas. If you are going to buy, your best bets are one of the "3G" versions. The Stag is very good, sans the comp. There are plenty of others from $800 to $3000 or so. If you build, skip the billet lowers, they cost more, add weight and offer no benefit. We could go on about barrels forever, but it is still going to end up being a SS 18" with rifle length gas. Adjustable gas is popular since so many ARs are overgassed. I took a divergent approach to shed the lack of reliability of adjustable gas. I designed a barrel with a smaller gas port and a gasblock that does not leak. Nordic ordered the barrels and they have been a huge hit in 2012. Lowers are about what you like, Seekins, Lancer, Firebird, Stag, JP are all quality and I like them all for different reasons. Triggers and comps and stocks are all very subjective with WAY too many fanboys. You have to shoot them to see what feels best to you. Most of us use JP Low mass carriers, or the Youngs Superlite. If you don't like those, go with a Mil-Spec.
My match rifle has a MagPul ACS stock with a 4 ounce carbine buffer and a Jard drop-in trigger in a Lancer lower. I run a Carbon Arms upper with the Nordic barrel, Carbon Arms gasblock, Carbon Arms carbon fiber handguard, Miculek comp and JP low mass carrier and bolt. The MTAC is in a JP one piece mount. Price, about $2000 with optic and it shoot 1/2 MOA and will run 1000 rounds with no cleaning 100%.
Then you will need a gear belt. An inner outer like CR Speed or AA, or a Safariland ELS. 3 to 4 pistol mag carriers, 2-3 rifle mag carriers and shotshell carriers. 2 years ago, it was row loading or a weak hand or strong hand load 4 (or 3) that frustrated many. About half of the active competitors are now using our TWinS loading as a primary or only loading system. You can figure on another $80 to $300 for shotshell holders if you go with twins or quads, or weakhand. Quality shotshell holders are about $10/shell. There are some cheap knock-offs, but we won't go there.
Good Shooting, MarkCO

Tesla Features Green Car
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Transportation
Tesla Motors has made a very classy roadster that is 100% electric and can go from 0 to 60 in about 4 seconds! At 200 miles per charge on its ion lithium batteries, this means less than 2 cents a mile at a 135 mpg equivalent. We think that this is a lot better than succumbing to the ridiculous cost of gas these days. Tesla hopes their technology will not only make others aware of alternatives, but will encourage the major car companies to also think green. Last year's batch is gone, but you can reserve a 2008 model for a price beginning at $92,000.00. The roadster should begin paying for itself by the time your youngest is ready for college.

How to disable gnome-keyring?
After updating from ubuntu hoary to breezy, I was asked to select a password for the default keyring.
Not knowing what this was or what it did I just entered the root password and now whenever I run apps as root I get a dialogue box saying the default keyring is locked and to enter the password.
I now want to permenantly disable gnome keyring altogether as I don't have any use for it but I can't find a way.
I've also tried deleting the keyrings via gnome-keyring-manager but after a reboot I get asked again.
:) well why dont you send me your keyring and ill have a look at it ........
I went to /home/me/.gnome2/keyrings/ and erased default.keyring in that folder, and that worked. No more prompt for the keyring password. I made a backup of it though somewhere else just in case it's actually needed.
I know this is a pretty old post but I'm stuck with this same problem. I can't seem to disable gnome key ring and it's really annoying.
I generated an rsa key a week or so ago thinking it would make things more convenient when I ssh to other machines. Man, was I wrong. Now I get asked for two passwords everytime (one for the local key and one for accessing the remote system) instead of just one as the keyring functionality in fc5 appears to ignore the 'save password on keyring' option.
What a PITA.
worked for me
solution 1:
from menu: System -> Preferences -> Sessions. Add new, with command "killall gnome-keyring-manager"
solution 2:
edit /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-keyring.schemas as root, and search for "TRUE" in text, there should be one for ssh and one for pkcs, substitute "TRUE" with "FALSE" and ur done..
Hi hydride
tried both options but not working for me. I am using fedora 10.
I fixed this one time on my system:
You can then either log out and log back in, or just search for the gnome-keyring related processes owned by your userid and kill them.
The gnome-keyring-daemon seems to be started by evolution each time I start evolution.
I workarounded the problem by renaming the /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon to /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.bak
It doesn't bother me anymore :D
The solution for me was when i was asked for new keyring password, i just pressed enter with empty password.
Empty password didn't work for me ... as well as the same password like the login password. It's a bug, because I was getting new keyring files in ~/.gnome2/keyrings each time I was asked to enter a password.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who got annoyed by this feature... especially when using ssh><. gnome is starting to get too "user-friendly" if you ask me, I didn't like having gnome-panel and the new gnome wouldn't allow me to just disable it, so I ended up switching to sawfish.
Anyway, the "easiest" way to disable anything gnome, is using the gconf-editor. In the terminal type gconf-editor. Search for keyring (or ssh, etc) then just unclick (set to false/null) all the values you don't need.
It's easy in Ubuntu 11.4
If you have Ubuntu 11.4 - this easy procedure worked for me:
1. Click on "Application" (in the application starter on the screen left side).
2. Type in the word "startup"
3. Select the "Startup Application" icon
4. In the "Additional Startup Programs" list, clear the check-box of all Keyring services. I have 3 of them:
- "Certificate and Keyring Storage"
- "Secret Storage Service"
- "SSH Key Agent"
5. Click "Close" button
6. Restart the machine
That's it...
Wow. I rebooted and saved my Firefox tabs and they were still here when rebooting done. No need to login to router. Hooray

KARACHI, May 17: Four people, including an activist of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and two workers of the Sunni Tehrik, were gunned down in the city as the law-enforcers apparently remained unable to stem the renewed wave of targeted killings on a third consecutive day.
Gun attacks in different pockets of the metropolis had claimed 16 lives on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Lines Area, Jutland Lines and adjoining localities remained tense on Thursday following the killing of the MQM Unit 197 activist who had gone missing on Wednesday night.
A gunny bag containing the body was found in a garbage dump near a private technical school in Lines Area, said an official at the Brigade police station. He added that the victim was identified as Shafiq, 24, son of Hanif, a resident of Jutland Lines.
The official said that the police shifted the body to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. After medico-legal formalities, the body was handed over to the victim's family.
Brigade SHO Humayun Khan said that Shafiq worked as a technician at a private heart hospital in Federal B Area. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen.
As soon as the news about the killing spread, tension gripped Lines Area, Jutland Lines and adjoining localities with sudden closure of markets.
While no case of the murder had been lodged at the police station till the evening, the police believed personal enmity as a possible motive for the killing.
Within a few hours, two activists of the Sunni Tehrik were shot dead within the remit of the Ferozabad police station.
Officials said that Shahbaz aka Shazee, 19, was shot at by armed motorbike riders in front of his home near Noorani Kabab House in PECHS Block 2.
They added that the victim sustained two gunshot wounds and died on the spot. For a post-mortem examination, the body was shifted to the JPMC, where a large number of ST workers reached and raised slogans over the killing.
The police investigators said that Shahbaz lived in the same street that housed the residence of the slain ST chief Abbas Qadri.
After sunset, a gunny bag containing the body of another ST worker was dumped on a roadside from a moving car in the same area, the police said.
The officials added 28-year-old Armaghan Qadri, son of Younis Qadri, was a resident of Gulistan-i-Jauhar.
Ferozabad SHO Ejaz Khwaja said that the victim had been missing since Thursday morning. He sustained five gunshot wounds.
The body was shifted to the JPMC for medico-legal formalities and then handed over to the victim's family.
ST spokesman Fahim Sheikh said that both the victims were active workers of the party's Lines Area sector. Condemning the incidents, he said that Armaghan was the second party activist killed within a few hours within the remit of the Ferozabad police station.
He demanded that the government ensure arrest of those involved in the killing of ST workers.
Man killed in Baldia
A young resident of Baldia was shot dead on Thursday night near a bus stop in Nawab Colony, said an official at the Mochko police station.
Nauroz, 28, son of Wali Rehman Mehsud, was attacked by gunmen riding a motorbike. He sustained two bullet wounds and died on the spot, while the riders sped away.
Resident of Baldia Sector 12-F, Nauroz originally hailed from Waziristan and had arrived here only a month ago.
The police shifted the body to Civil Hospital Karachi for medico-legal formalities. They suspected that the killing could be a result of some personal enmity.
Following the autopsy, the body was handed over to heirs of the victim.

Sarah Palin: Not a True Libertarian's Cup of Tea
I was puzzled by the idea that Sarah Palin thought saying she hoped Obama would declare war on Iran would be a good way to appeal to the large anti-war isolationist libertarian contingent that has been attracted to the tea party movement — a movement whose leaders cast it as drastically different from the mainstream GOP. But then, I was reminded that the folks leading the tea party organization are just plain old movement Republicans looking to con voters into thinking they're not really Republicans (h/t DDay and Digby):
The announcement came with an official platform that could help define what the multi-faceted tea party movement stands for and expects from the candidates it supports. The group's leaders plan to support candidates who stand for a set of "First Principles."
Those principles are: fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, less government, states' rights and national security. Prospective political candidates will be expected to support the Republican National Committee platform. If a particular candidate meets the proposed criteria he or she would be eligible for fundraising and grassroots support.
Wonder how many of the persons who got sucked into the movement don't yet realize that it's just another wing of the GOP?
This also explains why Palin, the mother of a Down's Syndrome child who was so quick to take umbrage against Rahm Emanuel for his "f—ing retards" comments, has essentially — after a brief few hours where it looked like she might have been willing to do what no Republican has ever done and stand by a criticism of Rush Limbaugh — given El Rushbo permission to use that language as he will. If she really was a maverick of the sort that the Tea Party rank-and-file favor, she'd be willing to take on the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
