Present: Sam, Tim, Shannon, Nix, Harry and Michal
1. Food Not Bombs
- Here is the scoop:
'Food Not Bombs addresses food wastage and over consumption by providing free food to anyone and everyone who wants it. We are a community of people redistributing food to the community, food which
would otherwise be wasted. Food Not Bombs encourages community over isolation, sustainability over mindless waste, and brussel sprout soup over hunger! We aim to hold a monthly Food Not Bombs in locations round Edinburgh, accompanied by our loyal friend the Free Shop, distributing clothes and other useful items.
Food Not Bombs is fairly cost-free (by definition) but there are some things we need to make a fully efficient mobile kitchen.
Gas Cooker ??pounds (could look on Freecycle, Ebay..) approx £15
Washing up bowls £2
Supplementary items eg. Spices, stock. Washing up liquid, sanitiser. £10-15
Cutlery, plates, etc,
Printing fliers.
At the moment we have most of the stuff we need thanks to various other organizations chipping in but maybe if the funds are out there and we are keen to do this long term it would be worth assembling a full mobile kitchen of our very own which we could take to demos, lend to worthy causes etc.
- They used the Forest kitchen for their first event on Buy Nothing Day in November. They would like to keep using the Forest kitchen for cooking (Saturday morning, once per month, finished before 10am)
- Originally they wanted to apply for a grant, but we realised working as a Forest-affiliated project might be better. They will borrow spices and oil from the kitchen instead of buying a whole stock of their own and would like to use the photocopier to print fliers. The fliers will say something like 'supported by Forest.'
- Shannon will ask Dan about his kitchen equipment to see if there is anything that might be of use for Food Not Bombs.
- Nix to ask Kim if he might have a propane stove which could be donated.
- £30 okayed from Action budget for equipment if other options are exhausted.
- Shannon will make sure building is opened for them Saturday morning.
2. Garden
- It is planting season... Put word out that people/work is needed.
- Nix to ask Blue what he wants as his involvement to be this year. Ie: are people free to change and design, or does he still have a plan?
- No more compost until the bins are sorted. They are full right now and need to be turned. It will take a few people at least a few hours. Nix will ask Jess and Kate if they are able to sort this.
3. Workshops
- Yay for Chris and the workshop poster!
- Is Dorkbot a workshop and do they want to make a poster advertising/be included on the next workshop poster? Unclear about their status and how it fits in the Action room, but they are cooool.
- Michal is planning on starting a wood carving workshop but is still looking for wood to use. He has the tools he needs already.
4. Action Room
- It's getting there. Ryan is getting the book sorted so workshops and working groups will have priority. Computers are coming and will be great.
- Need bookshelves: Nix and Michal to do it within the month.
- Infoshop: start looking for good stuff. In the hall or in the room? We would prefer it in the room if there is space, but the foyer next to the room will work if necessary. CCTV as a deterrent up there? No one is seriously opposed to it.
5. Bikes
- No Graeme present, but a poster has been sorted and an email address that goes to Graeme.
- Alex says he will fix and paint the bike he borrowed.
- Jake and Will are interested in helping with the bike maintenance workshops if they start up again. Shannon to put them in touch with Graeme.

Tonight will be a year since this series of events started, and we'll be discussing its future. One idea I'll be proposing is to separate out the current get togethers which are largely a core of regulars, from more widely advertised workshops which would be focused on particular projects - i.e. come along and build your own XYZ-gadget, parts provided for £5, etc.

UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council will consider plans to deploy a new U.N. peacekeeping force to Mali to help pacify the northern part of the West African country following France's ejection of hard-line Islamists from the cities there, a senior diplomat said Thursday.
The Security Council last month passed a resolution approving a multinational African force to help stabilize Mali. But with the Islamist forces in retreat, that plan has been overtaken by events on the ground.
Instead, the Security Council will discuss a regular U.N. peacekeeping force for Mali instead, the senior Western diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the plans were in an early phase of discussion.
The force would probably be composed of 3,000 to 5,000 peacekeepers, the diplomat said.
A U.N. peacekeeping force would be a positive development, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Thursday on France-Inter radio.
"The evolution announced by the U.N. would be a very positive evolution, and I want this initiative to be carried out," he said. "France will play its role, of course."
French troops might still be needed to stay on for a while as a rapid-reaction strike force, with more aggressive duties in comparison to the pacification program assigned to the U.N. peacekeepers, the diplomat said.
The United States, Britain and France favor the U.N. peacekeeping force approach. The change in plans would require a new Security Council resolution.
Associated Press writer Elaine Ganley contributed to this story from Paris.

I'm a Pro Wrestler that Fights - The Bobby Lashley Interview DVD-R
I'm a Pro Wrestler That Fights: Bobby Lashley Interview
Bobby Lashley is a guy who has all the ability in the world to become a big money draw MMA fighter but, in his heart of hearts he would rather call himself a, Pro Wrestler. To some wrestling fans Lashley was a guy who was handed the world of pro wrestling and threw it away for whatever reason.
Well, nothing could be further from the truth. Even before the cameras started rolling at the Highspots.com interview set Bobby saw and picked up a Junkyard Dog action figure and smile like a young child. Then when the cameras started rolling his passion for wrestling became self evident. Although, his love was almost unfulfilled when Lashley got caught in the crossfire of a bank robbery.
His injuries from that robbery may have kept him from the Olympic trials but it did not keep him from his WWE try out. Bobby was positioned to be a major player for the WWE in a very short time. From his Wrestlemania match involving Donald Trump to being one of the few wrestlers to ever feud with Vince McMahon.
Then one day Bobby was gone and the rumor mill started churning. Well, Lashley is speaking up and tell his side of the story on his release. We also tried to touched on Bobby's MMA career but he quickly brought it wrestling because Bobby Lashley is a Pro Wrestler That Fights.

Some time ago, I wrote an introductory post about bitwise operations in SQL Server. I had fully intended on writing a follow-up to that. Alas the opportunity has passed for the idea I was working on back then.
As luck would have it though, I encountered a new opportunity to share something on this topic. This one came to me by once again helping out in the forums. And, since I worked it out, I will be using the same problem posed in the forum and the solution I proposed.
First we need a little setup. Let's create a simple table and populate that table with some data.
[codesyntax lang="tsql"]
CREATE TABLE ColorPlate (ColorID INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1),ColorPlate VARCHAR(10), ColorType INT)
INSERT INTO ColorPlate (ColorPlate,ColorType)
Select 'Red',1
SELECT 'Blue',2
Select 'Yellow',4
As I said, this setup is rather simple. The solution is not much more complex. However, before we get to the solution, we need to know what we need the solution to do. From this table, I need to be able to determine the primary colors that make up a different color based on input of an ID relating to that color. I know. I know. We don't have all of the colors and their ColorTypes presented to us at this point – but let's just go with it for a bit. I would imagine that the other colors and the number assigned to their colortype would be populated at some other time.
For now, we are only working with seven color variations – so any number from 1-7 is a valid input. How do we find all of the colors that are required for the number that we input? Well, we use some smoke and mirrors. Just kidding. Seriously though, we use bitwise operations as well as a neat trick called "cross apply."
[codesyntax lang="tsql"]
Declare @ColorType INT = 3
Select cp1.*
From ColorPlate cp1
CROSS APPLY ColorPlate cp2
CROSS APPLY ColorPlate cp3
Where cp1.colortype & cp2.colortype & cp3.colortype & @ColorType <> 0
Order by ColorID;
Do you see what is being done there? I have known values in this table of 1,2, and 4. I know that 7 is the max number I am allowing for input at this time. Because of that, I know that I need three values in order to arrive at a value of 7. Due to this requirement, I know I must Cross Apply the ColorPlate table twice beyond the first select from it. That will permit me to sum three values from the ColorPlate table.
Now that I have access to three possible values, I need to compare those values using the Bitwise And operator. This is denoted by ampersand ( & ). Note that the where clause checks each of the three tables as well as the variable. Then, I want to make sure that their bitand operation is not 0. Pretty slick eh?
Let's put it to action. If I run the above query with a value of 6 for the @ColorType variable, I will get a two record result set. The results returned would be the primary colors for green (which are Blue and Yellow). If I use 7 for that same variable, I will get a three record result-set which would include red, blue and yellow.
This was a rather simple solution and scenario for a bitwise operation. There are plenty of other examples out there of how to use these types of solutions. Some more elaborate than others – but many good examples nonetheless.
I am interested in finding more solutions that involve these types of operations. Who knows, maybe I will even be able to remember the neat stuff I learned while writing the last article on the topic and be able to put that up before too long.

One of the highlights and main features of the 24 Hours of Le Mans of yesteryear used to be the ride on the six kilometre-long Mulsanne straight. Group C was yet the fastest class of sportscars. Here's the mixdown.
Earlier we discussed the changes to the Circuit de la Sarthe over the times. One of the most significant ones of later years was the FIA-regulated chicanes added to the infamous Mulsanne straight to keep the cars running at the insane speeds of Group C cars. Inarguably, it was the wise decision to make.
In 1988, at the height of the Group C era and two years before breaking up said straight, one French team decided to set one record straight (pun intended).
The plan was called "Project 400".
The Welter Racing Peugeot P88 was solely built with top speed in mind. A low-drag bodyshape was created along with some reconfiguration of the radiators and the turbo intercoolers, which proved to be next to undriveable under proper racing conditions.
Then happy hour set.
Unrelated video, just play it and read on.
The car was prepared for the blow the team had been waiting for all year. All body seals were taped, all vents, air intakes were covered, risking - but not minding - a blow-up of the engine.
All the efforts were made, all the work had been going on in the preceding 12 months to slingshot a car once to a yet uncharted territory of velocity.
The car - driven by Frenchman Dorchy - left the pits and slowly accelerated towards the final turn before the straight, taking a swing around Tetre Rouge.
Mulsanne is called a straight, except it's not one. Horizontally, there's a kink in it towards the end, vertically it has enough changes of elevation to send cars flying into the trees as many have experienced over the years. Surrounded by houses and a forest, looks like a sine wave from the side, bumpy, might be damp, could be covered by pieces of branches, oil and other car fluids and parts, while there is a race on it for 24 hours with dozens of cars driving around.
The V6 turbo turned its grunt to a scream and raced through the waves of the road, ever increasing its speed. The violent shake that can only be sensed by experienced drivers - however smooth it might seem for anyone else - got stronger, as the wheels were fighting with the asphalt and the body with the cloud of air it was pushing.
The Peugeot exploded past the speed trap. The readout was unbelievable.
The engine gave out shortly and that was the end of the run. Nevertheless, history was made that cannot be challenged any more.
The Mulsanne straight was broken up to three parts - divided by two chicanes for 1990.
...if you ever needed a reason why you have to drive there.

In an uncertain environment, energy companies need to respond to developments more rapidly and more efficiently than ever before. High performers are transforming their businesses to meet this challenge.
Oil and gas companies are transforming their global portfolios to reflect changing demand patterns, manage stakeholder expectations, meet regulatory changes and adapt to demanding customers. What has been more difficult to transform is how they actually run their operations. Part of the problem is that many operations are mature, and changing business processes can be disruptive as well as costly and time consuming. As operating conditions become more uncertain, many companies are seeking to identify areas of their business where they can exert more control and where the changes they make will result in increased certainty. In this environment, the focus is increasingly on enabling best-in-class business process management (BPM).

This is a Legend of Zelda themed texture pack that incorporates Zelda themed items, terrain, mobs, and more. Almost all of the textures are based on Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

this is my two favorite games combined
i'm so glad i found Mcedit and this pack without i wont beable to make my map.
dude this texture pack is the best i seen.
i love this texture pack one of the best
Are you ure this is minecraft (THERE WAS A CIRCLE)
Love this texturepack, however.. the water on mine looks like the default MC water :(
Use MCpatcher, my friend. It solves everything.
I've also noticed that there aren't any flames on the torches I place, even though the torches still give off light o.O.
The water stays as the same basic Minecraft water for me o_O
This was my first tex pack…… i got it in 1.8.1……. now……… I HAVE IT AGAIN BWAHAHAHA
Epic :D Its kinda hard to know which is the block :/
cool! it doesnt look EXACTLY like zelda :3
I tried to install this, but when I tried to select it in the texture pack screen, it was grayed-out. any advice?
I LOVE THIS!!! But please change the portal.
This texture pack is awesome! But I did notice that the chickens don't have legs. Lawlz ^^
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a MAJOR Legend of Zelda fan and this was dream come true…. twice! Thank-you for making this! And to all those Legend of Zelda fans out there, KEEP FIGHTING HARD!!!
Dude I have skyward sowrd!!!!
…and I'm playing it right now!
Awsome texture pack!

Im thinking about using this for my Lets Play Thanks dude your awesome
This is the best thing to happen to me since I got this for an older version, but alas Minecraft updated and it wouldn't work for me anymore. But now I can play this again, and the two games this is mostly based on is my two favorite games of the series.
Its great! But there is a bug where on 1.7.4 the sounds and music play as default…. And water/lava look the same… Please fix this or i'll have to install another zelda texture pack.. P.S ima biggggg zelda fan and im also a hugeeee spyro fan (not skylanders)
Amazing texture pack i am really a fan of the legend of zelda and everything is amazing on it Plus i did't know that Sky Does Mine Craft commented on here.Plus good job and i am a fan of sky does mine craft :3
Looking at this resource pack has really brought back good memories, and I'm glad Koa Neuva made it for us :D
For some reason when I activated the texture pack and entered a world, only the sun and animals and sky (half of it was white!
This was an amazing texture pack. really, I loved it. The only problem was, when I first logged on with it activated, the mobs were glitching out. They were giant, and only the ends of the appendages could be seen. I restarted the game, and the mobs are back to normal, but now the shadows are messed up, with grids of shadows showing up on two/three blocks from the object dropped or the animal. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've reinstalled the pack, and it still was doing it.
